Food management tips from Emily Cross

Emily Cross is sharing her methods for healthy food management. Keeping your fridge and pantry stocked with healthy options is absolutely KEY to success, she advises. Failing to plan is planning to fail.

Here are a couple of her top tips for a successful week:

#1 mind your macros: Having a knowledge of how many grams of protein, carbs, and fat you need each day is the foundation. Eating "healthy" won't always cut it. You need a plan to stick to each day and you'll need that in the back of your mind as you plan your meals.

#2 Look ahead - Take 10 minutes to look at your calendar for the week. Which nights will you be at the ballpark? Which night were you planning on meeting friends for dinner? Do you have any meetings or obligations for work any of those evenings? Figure out which nights you'll be able to be home and maybe cook something and which you'll need a crockpot meal or leftovers.

Smoking hot nights as AC Fair 2025 closes out



2025-07-20 - Columbia, KY - Photo by Linda Waggener, ColumbiaMagazine.com.
Friday and Saturday nights, the last two of the 2025 Adair County Fair, were smoking hot around the new arena, named in honor of Shannon "Catfish" Rowe. This is a photo of the small car demo derby Friday night. They actually had four demo derby classes, two additional ones added at the last minute. The crowd loved it - not a parking spot was left in the fairgrounds nor in the whole industrial/little league park.

Clora Jane Tucker Luttrell, 78, Russell County, KY

Clora Jane (Tucker) Luttrell, lovingly known as Chloe, and affectionately known as 'Memaw' to her grandchildren, passed away peacefully on July 19, 2025, surrounded by her family. She was 78 years of age.

Clora battled Alzheimer's disease for more than 14 years. Reflecting on her initial diagnosis, she testified that "my God is bigger than Alzheimer's" to Pine Grove Separate Baptist Church (Sunshine) in Eli, Kentucky, where she was an active member. Those who knew Clora, know that you could most often find her working in her flower beds. Clora took great pride in her family and had endless stories of her grandchildren and son. She was surrounded always with pictures of them all. She loved Christmas - filling her home with numerous themed trees - was a voracious reader and adventurer.

LWU opens Alumni Lounge in Sue Cravens Stivers Alumni House

'It's nice to have a place for alumni to always go when they come home to campus.'

From Duane Bonifer

Lindsey Wilson University alumni celebrated a new landing place on campus on Saturday, July 19, 2025, as more than two dozen Blue Raiders gathered to christen the Alumni Lounge in the Sue Cravens Stivers Alumni House.

The inviting, renovated space on the building's first floor includes a spacious meeting area, conference room and kitchen, which features snacks, a coffee and espresso machine, and soft drinks. The lounge's walls and rooms are adorned with dozens of Lindsey Wilson relics that have been collected and donated over the years, including diplomas, class pictures and a classic Blue Raider athletics varsity jacket.

"This is a way for us to give something back to our alumni, who have done so much for this university over the years," said Lindsey Wilson Director of Alumni Relations Allison Cross '09. "We look forward to hosting a lot of alumni visitors in this space."
