Letter: Holmes Bend Marina Diane Wallace writes: My first encounter with Kelly Caldwell was when renting with George Rice. Later, my sister, Carol Peasley told me how wonderful Kelly was and did I know she operated Holmes Bend Marina. George Rice confirmed this and encouraged me to 'see for myself', which I did. As a family, we rented a cabin several times and took my mother there for several days to celebrate her 90th birthday. We took plenty of photos so she could relive those memories.Comments re: Holmes Bend Marina riding a new tourism wave 2026-08-11 16:23:32 | Comments | Printable version | See topic Letters and Reader Feedback

LWU Professor's debut book a tool for counselors By Duane Bonifer Lindsey Wilson University counseling professor Jodi Crane reminds her students that in order to be a successful therapist, they must also take care of their own mental health. And she's produced a tool to help them achieve that. Crane has published a book, "Time for Me: 44 Journaling and Expressive Art Prompts for Busy Therapists," that helps therapists remain on the top of their game. "I tell students all the time that you can only take your clients as far as you're willing to go yourself," said Crane, who lives in Glasgow, Kentucky. "I tell them that even after they graduate, they need to keep working on themself." Set up in a workbook format, "Time for Me" focuses on the self of the therapist and the therapist's work with clients. The book contains 44 brief essays that include reflection questions for journaling and prompts to create a piece of art or a sandtray, which is used by many play therapists. Crane is a registered play therapist supervisor.

"The Begley Gallery is excited about celebrating Kentucky traditions, culture and history this school year through the expression of visual arts," said Lindsey Wilson Performing Arts Director Kristyne Gilbert. "The half-dozen art shows for this school year reflect an immense personal connection to home, tradition and culture. They are also a reminder that Kentucky is a state with a rich, diverse cultural heritage. A deep vein of artistic talent runs throughout this commonwealth." Kicking off the 2026-27 season will be a collection of works by the late Henry Faulkner, a Simpson County, Kentucky, native whose eccentric works produced during the mid-20th century were known for their colorful and expressive images. "We are delighted to begin the school year with an impressive collection of Faulkner's internationally recognized artwork," said Gilbert.
