OWENSBORO— As Central Hardin coach Jamie Goodman addressed his dejected team early Thursday evening, he reminded the Lady Bruins of the beauty of the Rawlings/KHSAA State Softball Tournament.

When Lori Jarboe was in kindergarten she received the Spirit Award for her school.

The annual Camp Invention is running this week at Meadow View Elementary School.

Kitchen Adventures: A pasta with...

Summer gardens soon will bear tasty vegetables that are wonderful on their own but also can make a healthy pasta dish.

Many of my favorite vegetables now are things I wouldn’t dare eat as a child. The top of that list is fresh zucchini and squash.

As a kid, my mom used to try to convince me squash was candy to get me to eat it. I only fell for that once and then continued to refuse  it.
