Tommy Druen: A battle that can never be fully won Previous Column: Remember to take pictures By Tommy Druen I'm having a love affair. It's no secret--my wife is fully aware. In fact, she's often my willing accomplice. Sometimes, we sneak away in the morning. Other times, we rendezvous in the afternoon. But more often than not, our adventures take place late at night, after the kids are asleep. Yes, I'm in love--with food. Now, I hesitate to call myself a "foodie." That term carries a certain air of pretension I find unappealing. While I won't turn down a gourmet meal, I'm just as comfortable at a ramshackle food truck or a barbecue joint that looks like the health department might condemn it any minute. Great food isn't about price or setting; it's all about flavor. But food is more than just a pleasurable experience. It has deeper meaning, as my friend and pastor, Patrick DeVane, reminded me with a story about World War II and bread.

OCC National Collection Week is November 18-25, 2024 National Collection Week for Operation Christmas Child is Monday, November 18 through Monday, November 25, 2024. The mission of Operation Christmas Child is to provide our ministry partners around the world with shoebox gifts as a way to reach children in their communities. For many children, this is the first gift they will ever receive. More important than the items inside the shoebox, the gifts are an opportunity to share God's love and the Good News of Jesus Christ with children and families in need. "I sincerely hope and pray that churches and organizations will give serious consideration to participating in this ministry opportunity," said Green River Church Relations team member Mark Fudge. Last year the Green River Area Team which includes the counties Adair, Casey, Green, Hart, Metcalfe and Taylor Counties collected nearly 17,000 shoebox gifts.

Box truck needed to transport water for relief efforts From Venus Popplewell LWC Director of Public Relations In response to the devastation caused by Hurricane Helene, the Lindsey Wilson College Blue Raider Band is collecting water donations through Saturday to help the community of Newport, Tennessee. Water donations can be dropped off at the LWC Blue Raider Band building, 391 Williams Street, Columbia, KY. Bottled water, gallon jugs and potable water donations will be received from 8amCT until 9pmCT Thursday and Friday and very early in the morning on Saturday. Blue Raider Band Director Anthony Baird is also in need of a box truck or a rental donation to make the three-and-a-half-hour drive to Newport. "I'll be calling around today looking for a truck that can be donated to transport the water donations on Saturday," he said. The Newport community is especially dear to Baird, who grew up in eastern Tennessee. He spent several years living in Newport, Tennessee and was the coordinator of instrumental music education and head band director at Cocke County High School. “The flooding in Newport is incomprehensible,” said Baird. “Cocke County is split between two rivers and the rivers have come together putting the entire area underwater.” For more information about the water drive, or if you have a box truck available, please call LWC Band Director Anthony Baird at 270-384-7337.

State Drought Declaration removed From John Mura Frankfort, KY - The Office of the State Climatologist and the Kentucky Energy and Environment Cabinet, in coordination with the Kentucky Drought Mitigation Team, have removed Level 1 Drought Declarations for all 120 counties in the commonwealth. Recent precipitation from the remnants of Hurricane Helene have eliminated rain deficits and improved streamflows and soil moisture levels. The drought declarations were issued on September 23, 2024, when moderate to severe drought conditions had developed statewide. Since that time, several days of precipitation from the remnants of Hurricane Helene have eased conditions. The light to moderate precipitation over several days allowed for water to infiltrate into the soil column, returning soil moisture to pre-summer levels. Streamflows have returned to normal and there are no current concerns with drinking water supplies. The Kentucky Division of Water will continue to monitor water supplies throughout the commonwealth.

October is National Pedestrian Safety Month From Marla Marrs Frankfort, KY - Gov. Andy Beshear, who has made public health and safety a top priority of his administration, is encouraging Kentuckians to work together to ensure our roadways are safe for everyone. "October is National Pedestrian Safety Month, and we're asking everyone to do their part to watch out for each other on the roads," said Gov. Beshear. "If drivers and pedestrians alike look out for one another, we can help ensure everyone gets home safely." The Kentucky Transportation Cabinet's (KYTC) Office of Highway Safety (KOHS) is partnering with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) to promote safe driving and walking tips throughout October. Staying alert is especially important as the end of Daylight Saving Time approaches and nightfall comes earlier. According to NHTSA, most crash-related pedestrian fatalities occur at night.
