Supt. Reed presents concept of Indian Boulevard 2015-08-21 - 1204 Greensburg Street, Columbia, KY - Photo by Ed Waggener. Superintendent Allen Reed unveiled a concept for elevating the status of Indian Drive to Indian Boulevard at last night's Board meeting - by differentiating the main artery through the campus with a simple name change - along with the exploratory idea of making the street a County, City or State Road. Members of the board examined some security and safety problems which would need to be addressed if the roadway, now a private campus street if the ownership is changed. The idea of making the street even more of a centerpiece got a warm reception, though. Each of the five board members present - starting with Lisa Burton (Div 3) and Terry Harvey (7), followed by Quin Lasley (2) and Mike Harris (5) and Chairman Floyd Burton (4), wanted those issues resolved before making any changes in ownership of the road. The idea for the proposal was tabled for now. The idea was tabled. Among things being studied today are whether, if the road is taken over by the county, it could be closed at 10pmCT or earlier for safety and security reasons. "At least everyone has an open mind, Reed said, "they are looking at how it could happen. We're not focusing why it can't." - CM Comments? | Click here to share, print, or bookmark this photo.

Ted Bassett, Legend in Kentucky State Police addresses cadets 2015-08-21 - Kentucky State Police Training Academy - Photo From Les Williams PIA III, Kentucky State Police . James E. "Ted" Bassett, III (right), trustee emeritus of the Keeneland Association and former Kentucky State Police Director from 1963 to 1967, spoke to cadets at the KSP Training Academy on August 5, 2015. "You know who you are now. Most important, when you graduate, is knowing who you will become, ready to step up and make a difference. Remember, some things will never change: honor, service, integrity, courage and commitment," he said. During his tenure with the state police, Bassett once stated, "The only thing in Kentucky that separates law from lawlessness is The Thin Gray Line." The term has been used to describe the agency ever since. In 1965, Bassett spearheaded the creation of Trooper Island, a free summer camp for underprivileged children operated by KSP on Dale Hollow Lake. The camp is supported by donations from businesses, charitable organizations, churches and private citizens throughout the state.
