Help for choosing an OTC hearing aid Since the FDA authorized their sale in 2022, over-the-counter hearing aids seem to be popping up everywhere. Some are very affordable, but are they actually hearing aids? Seems that old saw is right: there is no such thing as a free lunch, er, hearing aid. Still there are good options for those with mild to moderate hearing loss. The keys are knowing what you are getting and what you need.

Remembering Charles Giles By Tim Baker Adair County has lost a true great businessman, leader, friend and humanitarian with the passing of Charles Giles. He was truly a friend of the farming community understanding with his compassion that the life of a farmer sometimes didn't quite go the way they hoped but with understanding and respect for those that battled the weather always was willing to help. His love for the business came second only to his love for his family. With his passing there will forever be a void unable to be filled by the legacy this man left to us in our community and lives. My sincere condolences goes out to his family during this difficult time. May god give you the comfort and strength you need. Charles E. Giles, 90, Columbia, KY (1935-2025) 2025-09-23 18:55:18 | Comments | Printable version | See topic Obituaries

Woman9 exhibit now open in Pence-Chowning Art Gallery The exhibit "Woman9: A Collaborative Sketchbook Journey", opened September 22, 2025, in the Pence-Chowning Art Gallery, 205 University Drive, CU, Campbellsville, KY. The exhibit will run through October 3, 2025, with a reception planned for 3pmCT on October 3, 2025. (Gallery hours vary, and are available at campbellsville.edu.) The Woman9 exhibition showcases the collective creativity of nine women artists -- Alice Biskey Steele, Angella Barrett, Maranda Fowler, Tori Christgen, Madalyn Miller, Erin Steele, Hailey Shank, Catrina Higgs, and Kim Parker -- who came together for a year-long sketchbook exchange. Initiated by artists Kim Parker and Tori Christgen, the project highlights the power of collaboration, community, and women's voices in the arts. Each participating artist began the project with a blank sketchbook, prepared with pages for all nine members. Each month, the sketchbooks were passed along, as artists gathered for conversation, inspiration, and encouragement. Over time, every book was transformed into a layered and collective artwork, enriched by diverse styles, perspectives, and personal reflections. Once the cycle was complete, the sketchbooks returned to their original makers, now holding the creative touch of each member of the group. In addition to the visual work, each artist also contributed written reflections describing their process and inspiration. Together, the sketchbooks and writings form a vivid portrait of artistic dialogue, shared creativity, and the strength found in women supporting women. The project underscores the transformative power of collaboration -- especially among women -- where shared creativity and mutual support foster both artistic growth and personal connection. The Woman9 exhibition invites viewers into this intimate exchange, offering a rare glimpse of how art grows and evolves in community. 2025-09-23 10:39:53 | Comments | Printable version | See topic Local Arts Scene
