February 14, 1978 Around Adair with Ed Waggener The article below first appeared in the February 14, 1978 edition of the Adair County News. Topics included downtown traffic, sidewalks, and the dogwood project. --Pen By Ed Waggener Is etiquette all that's needed? Helen Flatt thinks there may be a really simple solution to the traffic problems in downtown Columbia. "Why don't we just try a little courtesy for a while?" she asks. "That might do more to unsnarl it than all the traffic pattern changes and added policemen could ever do." It is a novel idea: Courtesy. Simply good manners. But it might work. We're short one police car Columbia has recently added two more police cars. At first it was said that the two old cars would be sold for surplus, but now that talk is dying. There is another way of looking at it. With nine people in the police department, and only four cars, that means that if they all are riding at one time, then three of them would have to ride in one car!

AG seeks greater scrutiny of LG&E Pipeline Project Frankfort, KY - Following the recent devastating pipeline explosion that took the life of one Kentuckian in Lincoln County, Attorney General Andy Beshear wants greater scrutiny of the planned Louisville Gas and Electric Company (LG&E) Bullitt County Natural Gas Transmission Pipeline Project. Beshear announced today that his Office of Rate Intervention filed a motion to intervene and expand the scope of a complaint case before the state's Public Service Commission (PSC) that Bernheim Arboretum and Research Forest brought against LG&E over concerns surrounding its Bullitt County natural gas pipeline. Intervening on behalf of Kentuckians, Beshear says the PSC should expand the matter to ensure the pipeline project meets safety, legal and regulatory compliance requirements, and address the tactics used and costs projected to secure and complete the pipeline. "Given the recent tragedy in Lincoln County, I believe we must apply greater scrutiny to every pipeline project being proposed and constructed in our state," Beshear said. "Kentuckians deserve to know that pipelines running across their property comply with the law and are as safe as possible."

No penalties as result of public school Sick Out investigation By Mary Elizabeth Robertson Frankfort, KY - Kentucky Labor Cabinet Secretary David Dickerson announced today that the Cabinet's Office of Inspector General has completed the investigation into whether Kentucky teachers engaged in an illegal work stoppage, also known as a "sick out," during the 2019 session of the General Assembly. The investigation found that 1,074 teachers did violate Kentucky law, which clearly prohibits work stoppages. KRS 336.050(2) gives the Cabinet the discretion to prosecute and assess civil penalties of up to $1,000 per person, per day of work stoppage on any violation of a labor law in the state of Kentucky. Dickerson noted that while no penalties will be assessed for violations in this specific instance, this investigation was necessary to ensure that public schools remain open during the upcoming school year and that similar work stoppages do not occur in the future.

Kentucky is number one - in the nation - in child abuse By Linda Waggener The saddest news I heard this week is that the state of Kentucky is the top in the nation in child abuse according to Courier Journal reporter Deborah Yetter who has researched statistics and written a five-part series on the subject. I didn't trust a passing comment on television news, even educational television, so I dug a bit and there it was - Kentucky, the most violent state to children. Indiana right behind in second place. Here. In the Bible Belt. This is one statistic that we can change. If you see something and feel called to say something, a Child Help number to confidentially report suspected child maltreatment in America is 1.800.422.4453. Or just call 911.
