McEldowney Madness in Winchester!

Downtown vis­i­tors on Saturday had an oppor­tu­ni­ty to see a pranc­ing baby camel, view an art exhib­it, lis­ten to live music, take part in a scav­enger hunt, and tour Winchester’s Beaux Arts mas­ter­work, the McEldowney Building. The 120-year-old, five-sto­ry struc­ture, which three young cousins are restor­ing, is home to an eclec­tic mix of busi­ness­es, rang­ing from a fan­ta­sy book­store to a...

Tending the garden of a good life

Drawing on the famil­iar wis­dom of “you reap what you sow,” this essay explores how the ener­gy we invest in oth­ers shapes the lives we ulti­mate­ly har­vest. Some peo­ple cul­ti­vate kind­ness, friend­ship, and com­mu­ni­ty, weath­er­ing life’s storms with grace. Others nur­ture grudges, sus­pi­cion, and hurt, cre­at­ing a self-ful­fill­ing cycle of dis­ap­point­ment and iso­la­tion. Through vivid gar­den imagery, the piece argues that while we all encounter weeds and storms, we choose what grows in our personal...

False Spring: Kentucky’s little winters

Early spring around these parts still brings bone-deep cold morn­ings. It’s dark after break­fast. The trees are start­ing to green up, but brown dom­i­nates.

When war starts sounding like a sermon

I was raised in a place where faith wasn’t loud. It didn’t need to be. It lived in qui­et things—folded hands at the table, the hush before a storm rolling over the hills, the way my Great Gran spoke about God like He was close enough to hear but nev­er some­thing to be used. Back home, faith wasn’t a weapon. It wasn’t some­thing you strapped on like armor and marched into bat­tle with. And it sure as hell wasn’t some­thing you used to sell a war. 
The protest Saturday in Winchester was peaceful. There were “zero issues,” Police Chief Travis Thompson said.

Spirit of 1776

Across America, on Saturday, eight mil­lion peo­ple took part in a peace­ful rev­o­lu­tion against President Donald Trump and his poli­cies, includ­ing infla­tion­ary tar­iffs, unde­clared wars, author­i­tar­i­an acts, and appar­ent efforts to dis­en­fran­chise vot­ers. It was the largest demon­stra­tion in the coun­try in more than half a cen­tu­ry. The Winchester ral­ly was one of 3,300 in 50 states.
