Thanks for reminder that there are young adults like Lauren

A reader writes
Thanks for publishing the great article about and photos of Lauren McQuaide. Amidst the seemingly never-ending swirl of bad press about the millennial (and later) generation it's sometimes too easy to forget there are young adults like Lauren. Thank you for such a positive reminder of that. - A reader who chose to remain anonymous

Click on headline for complete story

By James Roberts

My dad (Richard Roberts) worked for Woodson Bell & Elmer Draper in the 70's. They owned the Hostess Cake Franchise at that time.

I’ve got some good stories about that at a later time. Woodson Bell owned the house where the cave entrance is that you are talking about on Burkesville street.

Carol Perkins: Billy Graham and the salvation of Bill Wilson

The death of Billy Graham evokes memories of the evangelist and profession of faith in Christ by an important Edmonton, KY business man.
Next earlier column: Carol Perkins: Always the same girl - 19 or 90

By Carol Perkins

The world is now celebrating the life of Rev. Billy Graham and mourning his passing. I was one of those millions who planned my TV time around one of his many Crusades. I watched as a young girl and then later with Guy. What drew thousands to stadiums around the world? His message and his style of presenting God's word? What I liked was his simplicity. Some ministers make the journey to Christ sound very difficult, but not Billy Graham. "God loves you. He will forgive you of your sins right now." He never talked about hearing voices or lightning bolt moments. He didn't dwell on HOW you got there but focused on how easy the trip was to Jesus. Those who filed down out of the stands might have been waiting all their lives to hear that. So many times we hear about the wrath rather than the love.

Tips for students taking the ACT on 20 Mar 2018


Good (not one which will zonk you; a drain-the-swamp pet peeve of ColumbiaMagazine.com) breakfast one of recommendations. - CM


From Kentucky Higher Education Assistance Authority

FRANKFORT, KY (21 Feb 2018) — Juniors in Kentucky public high schools will take the ACT on March 20, 2018. These tips from the Kentucky Higher Education Assistance Authority (KHEAA) may help students do better on the test.
  • Read, read, read. Most of the ACT is based on reading. The more you read, the better you’ll do.
  • Take advantage of any free ACT prep courses offered by your school or by local colleges and libraries.
  • Take practice tests online or buy practice tests for use at home.
  • Familiarize yourself with the sections and directions.
  • Get plenty of rest the night before, and eat a good breakfast that morning.
  • Remember to take No. 2 pencils and a calculator if your school doesn’t provide them.
  • Do the questions you can answer easily first, then come back to the harder questions, especially in the math portion.
  • Guess if you have no idea what the answer should be. Guessing doesn’t hurt your score.
KHEAA is the state agency that administers the Kentucky Educational Excellence Scholarship (KEES), need-based grants and other programs to help students pay their higher education expenses. For more information about Kentucky scholarships and grants, visit www.kheaa.com; write KHEAA, P.O. Box 798, Frankfort, KY 40602; or call 800-928-8926, ext. 6-7214.
