  • From running track to a career in officiating, teacher Patty Rouse’s life is a race she likes running.

    She started in track and field as a fifth-grader in Fleming County. Before her family moved to Kentucky, she was raised on chicken farms in Arkansas. In Arkansas she participated in barrel racing and horseback riding.

  • I feel like a failure as a mother.

    I mean, that’s really nothing new at this point. But specifically, now, I feel like a failure as a mother because I allow my son to spend entirely too much time parked in front of a screen.

  • With the beautiful weather lately it’s time to start picnicking and this week’s recipes are a twist on some traditional picnic foods.

    This week chicken salad will go a little green, coleslaw gets a bit cheesy and we’ll take a British twist on hard boiled eggs.

  • I hope since last week you have considered including some brain foods in your daily meals or added more than you previously consumed. If eating those foods can help your memory and even help avoid dementia such as Alzheimer’s disease, it is certainly worth your while. These are foods the majority of us call tasty, but with chocolate, blueberries and mixed nuts alone, some brain foods are favorites to many.

  • When Vine Grove Elementary School interim assistant principal Kerry Reeves walked the halls of Clarkson Elementary School in Grayson County in the late ’60s and early ’70s, it was as a student.

    When he walked them in 1979, it was as a custodian.

    When he walks them this fall, it will be as principal.

    “I truly am going back home,” Reeves, 51, said.

    He will work with teachers who were students at the elementary school when he was custodian.

  • Early last month, I was able to meet someone I have long admired.

    You know how sometimes you finally meet someone and they’re really nothing like you imagined? Many professional athletes — and even a lot of college athletes — are like that.

    Some are just like you thought they would be.

    Former University of Kentucky quarterback Tim Couch was as folksy in person in a crowded locker room as he appeared with a TV camera on him after throwing for four touchdowns.

  • One word describes how J.J. Abrams translates his love of the science fiction genre into the images on the screen: Genius.

    Abrams has made a diehard “Star Wars” fan not only appreciate “Star Trek” but love his vision of the famous franchise.

    “Star Trek Into Darkness” takes a clever blend of the old beloved series and twists it into his new version of the “Star Trek” timeline flawlessly.

    There even is a Tribble. 

  • A Louisville museum exhibition focusing on some whiskey business got a double shot of help from an Elizabethtown artist who used a unique approach in creating her porcelain shot glasses.

    “I had this idea of making a shot glass out of clay and then shooting it,” Verna McLaughlin said, explaining the idea came from taking the term “shot glass” literally.

  • On any given weekend I find myself on a Bro Ride.

    No, the Bro Ride isn’t me cruisin’ in my car with a bunch of buddies. The weekend Bro Ride is what I call car time with Tybalt, our Pomeranian.

    Like many companions of the canine ilk, Tybalt loves to go for car rides. Neither the destination nor the duration of the ride matter much.
