John Bam Carney Memorial Highway in Campbellsville By Larry Smith Local and state officials gathered on Friday, June 2, 2023, for the dedication of the Rep. John "Bam" Carney Memorial Highway, which connects New Columbia Highway 55 to New Lebanon Road US 68. The project was started in the 1980s by former mayor Robert L. Miller, and, years later, "Bam" Carney helped make this bypass a priority (and now a reality). The new highway was dedicated Friday morning by Governor Andy Beshear, State Representative Sarge Pollock and Senator Max Wise. Bam's mother June Carney and his son Ethan unveiled the official sign.

Phillip Coffey - Enough for Now Enough for Now - by Phillip Coffey No spring chicken these days - catching whiplash just about six inches below the top of my crown. Coming in all contrary - shortly after high pitched screeching sounds, sitting in my screened-in porch shed attached to the back of my split level house. Can’t be ‘Doofus Jelly Tweet the cat’. He has wisely taking it all in stride - lying down In one of his frequent naps below the swirling electric fans humming all of the accounts of the season in breezy turns of revolutions thousands per minute - snoring it away.

Happiness is - an empty bladder By Linda Waggener Let your exploration begin - what is happiness to you? I always enjoy Carol Perkins' columns and this week's article, a deep study in finding what makes her happy, is especially fun. I'm starting my list now and finding that simply contemplating what makes me happy actually makes me happy - even before I start to write! Those who knew Dr. Steve Aaron may remember that he not only wrote about the subject when he was a young medical student, he artfully created little framed signs to share with friends, signs like this one - "happiness is an empty bladder."

Andy Beshear announced that Kentucky Main Street (KYMS) program communities finished 2022 strong with a reported $47.9 million cumulative investment in downtown commercial districts such as Campbellsville's. This total represents $16.3 million in private investments matched by $31.7 million in public improvements encompassing building rehabilitation, new construction, infrastructure and special projects offset by rehabilitation tax credits, grant funds and local city and county budgets. Additionally, these communities finished the year with a net gain of 587 new jobs, 130 new businesses and 201 rehabilitation projects completed in Main Street districts. "One of Kentucky's great assets is the many downtown communities that are still vibrant throughout the commonwealth," Gov. Andy Beshear said. "The Kentucky Main Street program has been a huge benefit to these communities and those downtowns are attracting people, businesses and opportunity, helping provide prosperity for Kentuckians in every corner of our state."

Tommy Druen: Take the Picture Previous Column: Finding Common Ground By Tommy Druen In the summer of 1995, I embarked on my first trip to Washington, D.C. It was the summer before my final year of high school, and I had the incredible opportunity to participate in the Kentucky Rural Electric Washington Youth Tour. As a seventeen-year-old with a deep fascination for history and government, the experience proved to be truly inspiring. We met with Kentucky's congressional delegation, toured our nation's most iconic buildings and monuments, and even caught sight of a 6'8" figure sporting a full beard and a mini-skirt. Some aspects were more memorable than others. Before setting out for that first day in the capital, I vividly recall the wise words of Dennis Cannon, one of our chaperones and then the Director of Public Relations for Kentucky Electric Cooperatives. Recognizing it was the first time in Washington for many of us, he anticipated we would be taking pictures of the customary tourist attractions. His suggestion was that we take the bulk of our pictures with each other. "You'll never get a better picture of the Washington Monument than one on a postcard," he said. "But you will never find a postcard featuring your friends."

Letter: Congratulations Suzanne Mikki Flowers writes: I just want to say congratulations to Suzanne Rogers on her retirement. I've worked with her since she started while I had different jobs. I was also lucky enough to work with her in the sheriff's office for about 18 months. Her knowledge of the job is/was a blessing to new sheriffs. It was a pleasure to work with (for) her and I feel like I made a great friend. Congratulations Suzanne.Comments re: Retirement Luncheon for Suzanne Rogers Click here to share, print, or bookmark this article. 2023-06-02 09:22:21 | Comments | See topic Letters and Reader Feedback
