LWU Class of 2026 project spotlights diverse culinary tastes

By Duane Bonifer

This year's Lindsey Wilson University senior class gift aims to leave its mark on the school as well as on individuals' gastronomic habits.

Members of the Lindsey Wilson Class of 2026 are soliciting recipes to be published later this year in the second edition of What's Cookin' on the Hill?, a collection of recipes from Lindsey Wilson alumni, employees, students, families and friends.

Proceeds from sales of the cookbook will be used to purchase an outdoor metal installation of "LWU" on campus.

"This is such a wonderful project because it combines this year's senior gift to the university with the rich diversity of Lindsey Wilson's friends and supporters," said Lindsey Wilson Director of Alumni Relations Allison Cross '09. "It also makes for a wonderful keepsake that people will use throughout the year."

Carol Perkins: Austin, part 3

Previous Column: Austin, Texas (Part 2)

By Carol Perkins

I need to backtrack. Jon asked where our paper wristbands were as we prepared to leave for another basketball game.

"In the trash," Guy said.

Jon had paid a premium for those bands, so I drove back to the hotel, hoping the trash was in the room. It wasn't. I located a housekeeper. She couldn't speak English. Another housekeeper came, speaking better English. She disappeared and returned with our trash bag.

The two of us rifled through and found them.

"Keep them on," Jon said, and we did.

Continuing:

We left Austin for a three-hour drive, headed for Galveston, where we were going to board a ship for warm weather. After mapping the route on Google, I chose the shortest one.

Safety First as Spring Wildfire Season begins

From Robin Hartman

Frankfort, KY - Gov. Andy Beshear is encouraging Team Kentucky to take precautions as Kentucky's Spring Wildfire Hazard Season takes effect February 15 through April 30. During this time, burning is prohibited between the daylight hours of 6am and 6pm, in or within 150 feet of any woodland or brushland.

"March and April are typically months where we see wildfires and we need everyone to stay alert and use caution," said Gov. Andy Beshear. "Let's work together to keep each other safe and to help protect our neighbors, our communities and our outdoor spaces."

The Division of Forestry (KDF) responds to more than 1,000 wildfires annually across the state. March and April are typically high wildfire occurrence months. Last year, 517 wildfires occurred during the 10-week Spring Wildfire Hazard Season.

Kentucky voter registration holds steady in January

Frankfort, KY - Secretary of State Michael Adams announced that Kentucky's voter registration held steady in January, with 6,830 new registrations, about the same number as in December of 2025, a non-election year.

"Candidates' appeals to date largely have been to donors, influencers, and other politicians, so voters are tuned out," Adams said. "I'm hopeful that soon these campaigns will turn their attention to Kentucky voters and address the issues that everyday Kentuckians are most concerned about."

In January, 4,220 voters were removed: 3,257 who were deceased, 835 felony convicts, 55 who moved out of state, 33 adjudged mentally incompetent, 19 who voluntarily de-registered, 14 duplicate registrations, and 7 non-citizens.

Scoreboard says Florida, but Kentucky won't back down

By Ryan Hoots
Sports Director, UntdWeStnd.com

Gainesville, FL - Some losses feel cold. Flat. Empty. The kind you shake off before you even reach the parking lot to turn on the postgame radio hour of fellowship for the miserable.

This wasn't one of those.

Kentucky walked off of the floor against Florida without the win, but nothing about that game felt lifeless to me. It throbbed. It crackled. It dragged every nerve into the open and refused to let Florida breathe easy for the Second Half.

This wasn't a comfortable night for Florida. This was a prize fight disguised as a basketball game.
