Big rigs off the historic square - ideas By Linda Waggener Ideas have been coming in about how to encourage large trucks to use the Veterans Memorial Bypass instead of the historic Public Square in Columbia. And I have an idea to add to those linked below. Let's agree to make one thing clear right up front - we respect truck drivers. Almost everything that comes in and goes out, here and all across America, does so by truck. Drivers keep them going day and night. But, what if the City/County designates an educational campaign?

Carol Perkins: Circle the Square Previous Column: Stay OUT By Carol Perkins "Let's go circle the square," one of us would say to the driver before it was time to go home. We had probably left Gene's Freeze after going to the Strand Theater in town. One more trip around the square was a must. We were sixteen. I recently laughed at this memory and the fact that it is impossible to circle our square. We had to "square" our square, from the Corner Restaurant, past the Filling Station and around to the old upper bank (PCA building by then), and then cut the corner in front of Butler Funeral Home and pass the old post office (Sharon Howard's office) and down to the corner where the bank sat.

April is National Distracted Driving Awareness Month From Erin G. Eggen Frankfort, KY - In honor of National Distracted Driving Awareness Month in April, Kentucky is driving home a life-saving message for all motorists: Buckle up and put the phone down. "Safety is a top priority of this administration. So, we're encouraging all Kentuckians to protect themselves by buckling up and putting the phone down when entering a vehicle," said Gov. Andy Beshear. "One life lost on Kentucky roadways due to distracted driving is too many. So, we need to do everything we can to protect ourselves and others on the road when we're driving." Over the past decade, distracted driving has become one of the leading causes of vehicle crashes on our nation's roads. According to KOHS, each year in Kentucky, distracted driving results in more than 50,000 crashes, more than 13,000 injuries and approximately 200 deaths.
