Softball: 2023 LWC season preview

On June 29, 2022, Callum Pilgrim was named the eighth head coach in Lindsey Wilson's softball program history by Athletic Director Willis Pooler. 224 days later, the former Blue Raider is set to officially begin her first season at the helm when the locals travel down to Louisiana this weekend for their 2023 opener.

"I am honored to be named the Head Coach at Lindsey Wilson College," Pilgrim said. "My time as a Blue Raider had a powerful impact both as a professional and a student-athlete. It is my vision to create a positive culture and environment which will leave a lasting impact on current and future members of the program. LWC holds such a special place in my heart, and I can't wait to be back and get started."

This year's roster features a healthy mix of veterans, upperclassmen, and newcomers, including 13 returnees from 2022's line-up.

New book of short stories has local ties

Author Pauline Kurtz has announced the publication of "Short Stories for Siblings: Sandy and Tim." Two of the stories take place in Adair, Green and Metcalfe counties.

"A Good Man" is about Dode Dowell, who was notorious for the murder of Marshall Stotts, and "Lee Haynes" is about another notorious man who rode the ridges with the Rogers Clan back in the 1900s.

Kurtz' last book, "Call Me Huck III: The Trials of Fannie Finn Noe," was about Louisa Rogers Stotts when she was growing up on Mell Ridge along with her siblings, Nellie, Fannie, Irene, Henry, Sam, William, and Sally May Rogers. Kurtz lives in North Salem, Indiana, but has ties to several local families. She is the great-niece of Louisa Rogers Stotts and a granddaughter of Fannie Finn Noe.

"Short Stories for Siblings: Sandy and Tim" was released in paperback on February 1, 2023. It can be ordered online at amazon.com.

Carol Perkins: The Heart

Previous Column: Being Famous

By Carol Perkins

How did the heart shape become a symbol of Valentine's Day? Although there are many theories, the one that appealed to me is that the heart contains all our passions and emotions. It is, therefore, only fitting that it became the symbol of love. (The brain depends on the heart.) Another theory is that a scientist was trying to draw the human heart and it ended up with two loops and a point. That makes sense, too. For whatever reason, the shape of a heart is a sign of love.

For Valentine's day, these hearts come in cards, candy boxes, and diamond necklaces. Many women have a heart-shaped necklace surrounded by diamonds in their jewelry box. We wear sweatshirts with "I 'Heart' Hornets" or New York City. We give mugs with hearts, send balloons with hearts, buy teddy bears with hearts, and wear heart-shaped earrings. Valentine's Day is a vast business.

When I was an elementary student, every classroom teacher, along with her students, prepared a Valentine's box covered in crepe papers and hearts.
