Convention and Visitor’s Bureau and Southern Oregon (co-hosts), Mobile (Ala.), Oklahoma City and William Carey (Miss.). Each host school is guaranteed at least an at-large host berth in the National Championship Opening Round. The site selection process takes into account geography, facilities, student-athlete experience and host qualification. The champion of each Opening Round will advance to play in the 38th annual NAIA Softball World Series in Clermont, Fla., that runs May 25 – 31. The World Series is a 10-team double elimination tournament held at Legends Way Ball Fields with the championship and if-necessary games taking place on Thursday, May 31.

Story courtesy of myq104.com CAMPBELLSVILLE, Ky. – “Never for a job. Always for a purpose,” Dr. E. Bruce Heilman, Campbellsville University 1949 alumnus and CU Board of Trustee member and chancellor at the University of Richmond, said.
Heilman was the guest speaker at the 10th Annual Diamond Derby Rose Gala April 20 in Winters Dining Hall. The Derby Rose Gala was established in 2009 by the Campbellsville University Advancement Board as a fundraising effort to help gain scholarship money for CU students. Now, ten years later, the Derby Rose Gala has raised almost $400,000 in scholarship money. “A lot of work and labor goes into making this event happen,” Gwinn Hahn, a 1970 graduate and chair of the Derby Rose Gala, said. Hahn has been the chair of the gala since it began, and each year she challengers herself, and the people working alongside her, to produce a dinner better than the previous year. For the past two years, Damon Rivers, a local florist and event planner, has provided his services to the planning committee and this year he said, “I wanted to bring out the diamond theme for the 10th year.” Betty Hord, a 1968 CU graduate, was the main person in charge of decorations, and she, along with Rivers, wanted to find a way to produce a diamond jubilee. When describing the gala, Hord said it was “the most exciting gala, gala number 10.” Natalie Shadrick, a freshman of Paducah, Ky., was a student guest speaker during the event. Shadrick said, “I knew this was where God wanted me to be.” She spoke about how when she started college, she knew exactly what she wanted to do, but as time progressed she began to doubt herself. Shadrick was no longer certain about what she wanted to get her degree in, but knew that she was where she needed to be and that’s what mattered. Shadrick said, “I couldn’t be here without the scholarships.” Shadrick is thankful for the financial support she is receiving from the university and thanked the Advancement Board and Derby Rose Gala committee for finding a way to help raise money for students. “We got rated in the top 25 universities of the South that students graduate with the least amount of debt,” Dr. Michael V. Carter, Campbellsville University president, said. Sam Morehead, a junior of Almo, Ky., can say he is one of those students. Morehead is a pastoral ministries major and will be graduating next year, completely debt free. “Thank you for investing in me and in those like me who are yet to come by the gift of scholarships,” Morehead said to the Advancement Board and donors. During the ceremony, Roy Rich, a 1967 alumnus from Elizabethtown, Ky., owner of E-town Exterminating made a scholarship presentation to Carter. “On behalf of me and my late wife, I want to present a $25,000 scholarship,” Rich said. Donations, like those received from Rich, are what allow students, who otherwise wouldn’t be able to attend CU, come to the university without worrying about their financial situation. The gala not only raises money but it also allows scholarship recipients to personally thank donors and allows students in the mass communication area to get a hands-on reporting experience. Broadcast, journalism, public relations and photojournalism students from the mass communication department cover the event. Some of the students, like Alex Meade, a senior from Paintsville, Ky., have been covering the gala for four years. On the other hand, Jesse Russell, a freshman of Burgin, Ky., attended the gala for the first time. “We felt it was important to bring a formal event to the students,” Hahn said. Sara Curry, a late 1960s graduate of CU and chair of the Advancement Board, said “It’s a labor of love.” Curry also talked about how these are the events that students are going to remember for years to come. As the guest speaker, Heilman spoke about his life as a young man and how he got to the position he is in today. He wanted students to know that when they go through life they have a purpose and, if they live to fulfill that purpose, then life will work out the way it was supposed to. Heilman grew up on a farm milking cows and lived during the Great Depression. He realized as a young man, he was meant for more than milking cows. Now, at the age of 92, Heilman supports CU and her students by giving back to the university and serving as an esteemed alumnus. Following the gala, a concert was held which featured the Broadway performer J. Mark McVey and his wife Christy Tarr-McVey. CAMPBELLSVILLE, Ky. – ARTrageous event is an after-hours fundraising event at The Pence-Chowning Art Gallery on Friday, April 27 from 5:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. featuring artwork from the Campbellsville University Annual Student Juried Show.
All of the proceeds from the fundraiser support the new building complex, which will house the ceramics studio, sculpture studio, new auditorium with seating for 100, computer lab, and an additional gallery on the green space between University Drive and Columbia Court on North Columbia Avenue. Donations are taken at the door. "ARTrageous is an opportunity to display the best of the best artwork that our students are producing and celebrate their achievements by hosting an after-hours fundraising event," Susie Trejo Williams, assistant professor of art and design, said. "We are proud of their hard work, and want the community, parents and students to attend and help to fundraise for the much-needed space to continue the trajectory of talent from our growing department. Students have the option to price their artwork for sale. We encourage the community to support students through the purchase of artworks." Davie Reneau, associate professor of art who directs The Pence-Chowning Art Gallery, maintains a full schedule of exhibitions each semester with artwork from local, regional and national artists. Additionally, graduating seniors rotate exhibition times in the gallery as part of their capstone course. The only time to see artwork from freshmen, sophomore and juniors is during the Annual Student Juried Show. "This event was started to display artwork represented from all of our students and to bring people to the gallery who many not otherwise have an opportunity to visit during reception times," Trejo Williams said. This fundraiser will be hosted by the Art & Design Department with support from the Patrons of the Visual Arts and CU's Office of Development. It originated as an OR leadership project in spring 2017. The students wanted to give back to the university through the fundraising efforts for the new art complex and bring awareness to the visual arts. They installed the artwork, selected the name of the event, selected the invitation design, and came up with the menu of "Upscale Southern." Four persons were injured when two vehicles collided just after 7:30 p.m. Monday on the U.S. 127 bypass in Jamestown.
Sgt. Mark Cromwell’s investigation determined a 1998 Ford Ranger operated by Gary Vance, 23, of Louisville was attempting to turn left from southbound U.S. 127 onto KY 92, pulling into the path of a northbound Mitsubishi being driven by Sherry Bradley, 61, of Jamestown, resulting in the collision. Both drivers were injured as were two passengers in the car, Shane Hatfield, 41, and 9 year old Jocelyn Bradley. Vance and Hatfield were both initially treated at the Russell County Hospital and later transferred to the U.K. Medical Center. Sherry and Jocelyn Bradley were both taken to the Lake Cumberland Regional Hospital for treatment of their injuries. Sgt. Cromwell was assisted at the scene by Deputy Nathan Ginn. The Russell County EMS was assisted by the Jamestown Fire Department. BOWLING GREEN, Ky. – A Red Boiling Springs, Tennessee man pleaded guilty four counts of interstate transportation of stolen property yesterday, in United States District Court, before United States District Judge, Greg N. Stivers, to defrauding investors of $194,000 as part of a scheme to develop a call center in Tompkinsville, KY, announced United States Attorney Russell M. Coleman. There is no parole in the federal prison system.
John Cook, age 57, pleaded guilty yesterday to four counts of interstate transportation of stolen property. According to a plea agreement entered in open court, Cook admitted that in September 2013, he solicited $194,000 in investment funds from four individuals in Monroe County, Kentucky, for the purpose of developing a call center. In exchange for the investment funds, Cook provided a written promissory note explaining that the money would be used for the call center and described an unrealistic return on investment. Cook created Minority Holdings and Management LLC (“Minority Holdings”) in September 2013. The promissory notes were issued by Cook in the name of Minority Holdings. Cook also opened a bank account for Minority Holdings at the bank of Putnam County in Tennessee. Cook cashed the checks, deposited the checks in the Minority Holdings accounts, or converted checks to cashier’s checks. Cook used a lot of the investment money to operate the Donoho Hotel located in Red Boiling Springs, TN. Cook spent a minimal amount of investment funds on call center related expenses. However a majority of the expenses of the account were used for the Donoho Hotel payroll and for his personal expenditures. There has been little to no development of a call center in Tompkinsville. Cook transported and caused to be transported from Kentucky to Tennessee, stolen, converted, and fraudulently obtained checks and monies from investors that he knew he was stealing, converting and taking by fraud at the time. All payments exceeded $5,000. All payments were solicited in Monroe County in the Western District of Kentucky. wvlc.com/local-news-stories/6db37f1612e4160c833eaf0462a48182 Cook is scheduled for sentencing before Judge Stivers on July 31, 2018 at 9:00 a.m. CDT in Bowling Green. This case was prosecuted by Assistant United States Joshua Judd and was investigated by the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI). Story courtesy of www.wvlc.com A Green County woman was killed in a two vehicle accident early Tuesday morning, April 24th, near Greensburg. According to the Green County Sheriff’s office the accident happened when an east bound vehicle operated by 54 year old John R. Boone Jr. of Campbellsville crossed the center line of the roadway into the path of a west bound vehicle operated by 55 year old Dale Rae Connor of Greensburg. According to the Green County Sheriff’s Office Boone stated that his vehicle hydroplaned on the wet roadway and went out of control into the oncoming lane. Connor was pronounced dead by the Green County Coroner. Boone was taken to Jane Todd Crawford Hospital in Greensburg. The accident happened around 1 o’clock in the morning central time in the Mill Creek area of Highway 68 East just outside the limits of Greensburg.
Story courtesy of myq104.com The man who was responsible for transforming Lindsey Wilson College from a struggling junior college to one of Kentucky’s most dynamic liberal arts colleges will give the keynote address at this year’s Founders’ Day Celebration. Chancellor and sixth president of Lindsey Wilson College John B. Begley will speak at 6 p.m. CT on Thursday, April 26, at LWC’s Roberta D. Cranmer Dining & Conference Center. A member of the Lindsey Wilson community for more than 40 years, Begley came to Lindsey Wilson in 1977 as the college’s sixth president. During his 20-year presidency, Lindsey Wilson evolved from a junior college into a thriving liberal arts college with a nationally ranked graduate program. “John Begley has been an incredible president and leader at Lindsey Wilson College. All you have to do is look around and see the buildings that weren’t here before his arrival,” said LWC President William T. Luckey Jr. “His most dramatic impact, however, was his vision. He understood this college needed a mission and he knew how to communicate and sell others on his dreams. He believed in Lindsey Wilson when no one else did.” Fueled by aggressive fundraising efforts, the college’s physical presence was dramatically expanded during Begley’s presidency as more than a dozen buildings were added to the campus landscape. Highlights include the Biggers Sports Center in 1984; the Cralle Student Union Building (1983 and ’87); Holloway Building, which houses the Katie Murrell Library (1987); J.L. Turner Leadership Center (1988); Roberta D. Cranmer Dining & Conference Center (1993); Henry and Mary Ellen Lilly Residence Hall (1996); W.W. Slider Humanities Center (1996); and the John B. Begley Chapel (1997). “Let’s not forget that we were a struggling two-year college when Doc arrived on campus in 1977,” said Luckey. “He fought for this place and kept his vision alive during challenging times.” LWC’s academic programs were expanded from three baccalaureate-degree offerings when Lindsey Wilson became a liberal arts college in 1986-87 to 14 by 1996-97; a permanent second campus in Scottsville, Ky., was opened in 1992; and a nationally ranked master’s program in counseling and human development was added in 1993. Consequently, the number of faculty increased from less than 20 in 1977-78 to more than 40 by the end of the 1996-97 school year. “I believe LWC wouldn’t be here today were it not for his leadership and commitment,” said Luckey. “John’s capacity to help other people believe in his dream and his vision enabled us to grow into the thriving college we are today.” A native of Harrodsburg, Ky., Begley received a bachelor of arts degree from Campbellsville (Ky.) College with a major in social science. His master of divinity degree from Louisville (Ky.) Presbyterian Seminary was followed by graduate work in counseling from Murray State (Ky.) University and a number of private courses and workshops offered throughout the United States. He is a 1985 graduate of the Institute for Educational Management offered through the Graduate School of Education at Harvard University. Chancellor Begley is married to the former Lucretia Chilton of Burgin, Ky.
