Carol Perkins: The Fourth of July Previous Column: They come out of the woodwork By Carol Perkins On this 4th of July, most of us will place our flags on our porches, join friends for picnics, light firecrackers, watch fireworks, and be grateful for living in a country of choices. Guy and I will watch the celebrations from the Capitol in the cool of our den. Churches, like ours, often host picnics featuring hot dogs, watermelon, and potato salad. We fan off the flies, watch the children play, and sport our red, white, and blue outfits. This is a tradition. Recently, a poll reported that only 35% were proud of the United States, so I looked online for some interesting information about why we should be proud to live in our country. From the list of ten, I choose to tell five. Article continues... click here to read the whole article, or to share, print, or bookmark it. 2025-07-04 08:54:33 | Comments | See topic Carol Perkins

Tommy Druen: Next chapter of progress should be co-authored Previous Column: The cultivation of understanding By Tommy Druen I never had the chance to meet my great-grandfather, William Elbert Druen. He passed away several years before I was born. From all accounts though, he was a kind and decent man, the sort of person who made others feel comfortable simply by being near him. He was a farmer and lived a life marked by hard work and conviction. He and my great-grandmother raised four children--three daughters, followed by their youngest, my grandfather. The girls were born in 1913, 1915, and 1920. Remarkably, each one graduated from Hart Memorial High School. That may not sound extraordinary today, but it was rare for girls--especially rural girls during the Great Depression--to finish high school. Each would've walked those hallways during the darkest economic downturn in American history. At a time when families were scraping by and children were pulled from school to work, my great-grandfather kept his daughters in the classroom. That simple choice, made in hardship, speaks volumes.

"As we build Our New Kentucky Home, we're ensuring not only that our communities are safer, but that our people feel safer too," said Gov. Beshear. "Today's announcement is a testament to our law enforcement officers' commitment to serve and protect the commonwealth as we make our communities stronger, our streets safer." The 2024 Crime in Kentucky report (PDF) shows that from 2023 to 2024, of the 23 categories, 17 saw a decrease in crimes reported, indicating an overall decrease of 7.66% in reports of serious, Category A crime.
