  • The Magazine for Alumni and Friends of Campbellsville University a Word from the President… NOVEMBER 2008
    VOL. 6, NO. 2 NOVEMBER 2008 The Magazine for Alumni and Friends of Campbellsville University A Word from the President… NOVEMBER 2008 Dear alumni and friends, We begin a new school year with thankful hearts! For the second year in a row Campbellsville University has received the high ranking of 22nd best among the South’s baccalaureate colleges by U.S.News & World Report, and for the 17th consecutive semester, we have a record enrollment. According to the latest numbers, CU has just reached a total of 2,601 students. It is our heartfelt goal that many of these students will be successful and eventually join the over 10,000 CU alumni around the world. What a force for good. We are thankful, too, that CU is nearing the completion of our $50 million Centennial Capital Campaign, and the expanded base of support has been very encouraging. We will need the continuing financial support of the growing number of Campbellsville University friends as we move forward. The challenge guiding us as we enter the second century can be summed up in two words, “quo vadis,” as spoken so eloquently by president emeritus Dr. Randy Davenport at our Heritage Day chapel service. Quo vadis—the Latin phrase first documented in the Bible when Peter asked of Jesus, “Where are you going?”—applies to our work on the new “vision for the second century” which is being prepared by the Vision Committee. As we fine-tune the vision of where CU is going for the second century and the next campaign, we are challenged to create the blueprint for the next ten to 20 years and beyond.

  • Kentucky Afield Outdoors: Decoding the White Bass Runs
    Kentucky Tourism, Arts and Heritage Cabinet Kentucky Department of Fish and Wildlife Resources FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Contact: Lee McClellan [email protected] 1-800-858-1549, ext. 4443 Kentucky Afield Outdoors: Decoding The White Bass Runs (Editors: This is the third installment of the “Spring Fishing Fever” series of articles, detailing productive fishing techniques and opportunities across Kentucky. The series will continue until early summer. An archive of past articles is available on the department’s website at www.fw.ky.gov). FRANKFORT, Ky. (March 21, 2019) – With all of the rain we received early this year, many Kentuckians are wondering when will the white bass run. “We are about there, 60 degrees is the magic number for water temperature,” said Mike Hardin, assistant director of Fisheries for the Kentucky Department of Fish and Wildlife Resources. “The redbud blooms are as good an indicator as anything.” Redbud trees began displaying buds in parts of central Kentucky over the past 10 days. “We haven’t missed anything yet and the run may arrive on time this year,” Hardin said. “Last year was spotty, starts and stops with the fish as confused as the anglers. We had up and down weather and water levels.” Reports surfaced last week of a few white bass making a headwater run in the Salt River above Taylorsville Lake, but nighttime temperatures in the 20s this week blunted that movement a bit. “This week, the night temperatures are increasing, so you won’t get those big cool downs as much now,” Hardin said. “It will be warmer compared to what it was.” Lakes are dropping dramatically, allaying concerns expressed by anglers about the impact on the white bass runs from the record or near record water levels in some of our major reservoirs in February.

  • Kentucky Vacations in Your Own Backyard
    Kentucky Vacations in your own Backyard Today there are more than 50 Kentucky state parks, including Resort Parks that feature lodges, cottages, restaurants, campgrounds and trails for hiking, horseback riding and mountain biking. There are Historic Sites that tell about Kentucky’s history from prehistoric times to the days of the Civil War, Native Americans and the early pioneers. Many of these historic locations have museums or historic buildings that make great places for family visits. Recreation Parks feature campgrounds, picnic areas, swimming areas and trails. One park is an Interstate Park, shared with the Commonwealth of Virginia. State Parks are parks or protected areas managed by the states. Usually they are established to preserve a location because of its natural beauty, historic interest or recreation potential. The development of state parks in the United States generally paralleled the development of the U.S. national parks. The oldest state park in the United States is Niagara Falls, established in 1885. The first U.S. National Park was Yellowstone, established in 1872. Until the development of parks in the United States, the great areas of land with natural beauty and historic significance had only been set aside for the wealthy, such as kings and noblemen. National parks and state parks reserved the lands for everyone. The parks movement began in the United States and has since been accepted and copied throughout the world. During WW I, visits in Europe were closed to tourists from the United States and other countries. The theme, “See America First,” was promoted as never before and concentrated on the beauty of the American landscape, especially those in the western states.

    Predicting Water Quality In Kentucky Lakes Using Landsat Satellite Imagery http://nasaesw.strategies.org/mapping-world-landsat Mark Martin and Garrett Stillings Kentucky Division of Water NWQMC 2014 Limitations of Current Lakes Sampling Over 600 lakes in Kentucky – One assigned staff High Cost – Travel – Equipment – Lab Analysis Sample Size Not Representative – One sample taken near the dam does not describe the whole water-body Harmful Algal Bloom Identification (HAB) - No time to explore the lake searching for bloom conditions Objective: O Developb a program to effectively monitor Lake j watere quality – trophic state c Identifyt locations with the high probability of i HAB’sv for further investigation e Produce graphics to communicate water quality conditions to the public Use remote sensing and Landsat satellite data to model these conditions Sample size not representative of entire waterbody Corinth39 lake 96 acres ~ 4000 pixels Dam N=9 - 15 ug/LChl a Whole N=39 - 17 ug/L Chl a Kruskal-Wallis chi-squared = 10.1376, df = 1, p-value = 0.001453 Identify harmful algal blooms These are obvious A Bloom might look like this Field Methods • Lakes were sampled from georeferenced locations. • In situ Secchi depth, chlorophyll a and total P samples were collected on the same day as the satellite fly over • 2014 – Sampling design test to optimize ground- truthing methods. • 2014 – Phycocyanin samples to model cyanobacteria density MLR Models • Employed Stepwise Multiple Linear Regression – Water quality variables as the dependent variable (chl
