Jay Vincent is set to join the Lindsey Wilson baseball team as the assistant coach, head coach Ethan Utley announced on Wednesday.

"I am excited for the opportunity to become the assistant baseball coach at Lindsey Wilson College," Vincent said.

Carol Perkins: The Metal Chair

Previous Column: My Elvis Moment

By Carol Perkins

Guy watched as I carried the metal folding chair to my closet. "What are you planning to do with that chair?" he asked. I knew not to tell him that there was a bag on the top shelf that I needed, so I said, "Nothing. Why?" What was he doing in the house; I thought he was mowing the yard.

"Were you thinking about standing on it?" I was thinking about it, but he interrupted. I figured that I could hold to the doorframe and step up, one leg at a time. The fact I don't have a good leg to spare was not a consideration. Standing in a chair would not have been smart, but I hate depending on anyone.

"What do you want from up there? I'll get it." Naturally, he had to take down several boxes before he reached the right one.

I was at the beauty shop and came home to see the ladder leaning against the house.

Letter: Reverend Lewis Haynes in photo

Connie Long Chapman writes
In regard to the subjects in the Methodist Church photograph, the gentleman in the back row with dark hair and glasses is Reverend Lewis Haynes.

It appears that there are five ministers, the one in the center probably being the new inductee, the new guy, or whatever his title is, with the others being supporters/onlookers.
