LCCRS responds to water incident in Casey County "Wear a life jacket, be aware of swift or quickly rising water, and when floating the river make sure others are aware of your float path..." By Mike Scales, WHVE Radio Around 7pm on Saturday, Liberty-Casey County Rescue Squad (LCCRS) was dispatched to Soggy Bottom Campground for a water-related incident. A group of individuals were floating the river behind the campground. Rain from storms that day had caused a significant rise in the river, and they encountered fast moving water and debris, causing them to get overturned. One member was swept from the group and was unaccounted for. Members of their group returned to the river as well as other bystanders and took off searching for the missing person, both on foot and by kayak.

No plans to close, plenty of fabric to share By Mig Feuser For the past several weeks, rumors have circulated around Columbia that Little House Fabric Shop would soon be closing its doors. Customers asked questions, quilters worried where they would buy fabric, and word spread from one sewing room to another. The rumors, however, are simply not true. "I am not going to close," owner Kathy Jones said with a smile as she welcomed The Adair Progress into the shop. "I've been here 10 years, and I'm just about set in my ways."

TBT or AAU? There is No Difference By Ryan Hoots Sports Director, UntdWeStnd.com Lexington, KY - If a genie popped out of a bottle and gave me three wishes I might wish to like The Basketball Tournament. I want to like it, I really do, but the players make it impossible. Every summer teams of alumni from around the country assemble teams to compete in "The Basketball Tournament" with $2 million going to the winning team to divide amongst the players. The idea sounds incredible on paper. Bringing beloved players back for another run in their Alma mater's colors at historic gyms around the country. Winner-take-all ball with a significant payday on the line. Instead, I find myself asking the same question. If the players don't care, why should I?
