Old Gold & Black · Lexington, KY
Nearby: Lexington, KYI’ve been sports gambling since I was four years old. To be specific, I’ve been betting on horse races. I’m from Lexington, Kentucky, the horse capital of the world, and as one might intuit, the Kentucky Derby is a bit of a big deal for my family. For as long as I can remember, we’ve bet on the Derby. It was commonplace for my dad to ask me to pick a trifecta, or for me to draw a horse from a hat I paid five dollars into. So believe me when I say I’m not writing this from a high horse (pun fully intended). Gambling, the way I grew up with it, was deliberate. We set the stakes, usually $5 or $10, before the gates opened, and nobody went looking for another bet when our horse finished last. When the race ended, so did the betting. That is not what my friends have been doing. They’re betting on random football games between two teams they’ve never once watched play.

For 29 of her 50 years at the Eagle, she was also the co-owner and chef of The Courthouse Cafe in Whitesburg. The restaurant closed in 2014 after the decline of the coal industry. Laura Schuster, whose quiet, steady work helped bring The Mountain Eagle to its readers for half a century and helped make Whitesburg’s Courthouse Café a gathering place, died Monday, November 9, at the University of Kentucky hospital in Lexington. She had continued working part-time at The Eagle until becoming ill in October. Ms. Schuster joined the newspaper as a typesetter in 1976. Over the decades, she became its longtime copy editor and a trusted colleague willing to tackle whatever work needed doing.

The Winchester Sun · Paris, KY
Nearby: Paris, KYTrampus Miller lost a leg to an improvised bomb in Iraq in 2008. His recovery at Walter Reed Medical Center took three and a half years and more than 100 surgeries. Later, he attended a deer hunt through Jason’s Box, a nonprofit in nearby Paris, Kentucky, that provides severely injured veterans with free outdoor activities. Miller recalled “just realizing you’re not alone” during that first hunt. He stayed on as a volunteer and now helps coordinate activities for other veterans. What stands out about Miller’s story isn’t simply what he overcame. It’s what he chose to do afterward. Through his involvement with Jason’s Box, he found a way to help other veterans experience the same sense of friendship and belonging that meant so much to him. That’s a lesson worth remembering as we observe Veterans Day. Across central Kentucky, veterans are our neighbors, co-workers, business owners, teachers, and friends.
