Kentucky town named one of the best lakeside retirement spots by Southern Living

Kentucky has 45 major lakes across the Commonwealth, but only one spot made Southern Living's list of the South’s best lake towns for retirees. On a list of 17 southern lake towns “where retirement feels like a vacation,” Paducah earned a spot. Kentucky Lake and Lake Barkley, the two largest lakes in the Commonwealth, sit near Paducah, and three rivers, the Ohio, Cumberland and Tennessee, meet in or around the town. “Paducah and the small towns that surround it offer up fun on the area’s many lakes and rivers,” the magazine said. The Paducah Riverfront sits on the shores of the Ohio and Tennessee rivers. According to the city , the riverfront has a “variety of can’t-miss sites,” including historical markers, murals, festivals, fireworks, concerts and boat docks. The town hosts events year round. Here are some coming up this week: Wednesday, Nov. 11 2026 Veterans Day opening ceremony and parade. Sewing for a sustainable future: Unlocking the language of patterns. Veterans Day Sunrise Reveille at Dolly McNutt Memorial Plaza. Thursday, Nov. 12 Merry Mingle Market at the Troutt Old Time General Store and Market.

KY elementary cheerleaders' chant sparks discussion on religious expression. What to know

A Crittenden County Junior Pro Cheerleading coach called for a school district review after she said a principal objected to elementary-age cheerleaders chanting “We’re Team Jesus” during a school hallway celebration. After the coach shared her stance on social media, the district said there was a miscommunication over policies on student expression. FULL STORY: KY cheerleaders chanted in school hallway, ‘We’re team Jesus.’ Why it led to concern Here are five things to know from the story: The chant happened Monday at Crittenden County Elementary School during a walk-through honoring the third- and fourth-grade Junior Pro cheerleading squad after their first-place finish in a competition over the weekend. Coach Brittany Buell-Schneider said the chant was unplanned and started by the girls themselves. She said the principal told her, “we will never be able to do that again.” Superintendent Tonya Driver said students have the right to express personal beliefs during the school day, as long as the expression is student-led and nondisruptive. Under Kentucky law, public school students can voluntarily pray and share religious or political viewpoints in assignments, speech, literature and clothing, provided they don’t disrupt or coerce others. Driver said district and school leaders will review policies on
