Gov. Beshear Responds to Brigade Inactivation at Ft. Knox Statement by Gov. Steve Beshear FRANKFORT, KY (Tuesday, June 25, 2013, 5pmET) - "I am deeply disappointed by the news of the Department of Defense's planned inactivation of the Third Brigade Combat Team, First Infantry Division currently located at Ft. Knox. This decision will likely remove nearly 10,000 military employees and dependents from the area, which will have a profound economic impact not only on Ft. Knox, but the surrounding region as well. "While I understand that the Departments of the Army and Defense must adjust to the current budget realities, this decision seems to focus on shorter term savings at the expense of longer term readiness. Fort Knox is a proven, premier location to station, train and deploy an Infantry Brigade Combat Team. "We are surprised by the Army's decision to inactivate this well-positioned brigade, particularly because DOD has invested more than $500 million in military construction to support the brigade and provide quality of life for soldiers and families since locating the brigade here in 2009. "Because of the sizable infrastructure already in place, as well as Ft. Knox's central location and proven capacity for adaptation, I call on the DOD to consider Ft. Knox as it considers future savings and efficiency measures. Building joint capabilities in the areas of recruiting and human resources is an obvious avenue to efficiency. "Fort Knox is a vital component in the Army's portfolio of installations, and clearly, the functions there must be leveraged to the fullest extent possible. Kentucky will always act decisively in support of our military. The Commonwealth continues to stand ready to assist and partner with DOD and the Army in solving the complex problems that face us all." - KENTUCKY GOV. STEVE BESHEAR 2013-06-25 17:51:18 | Comments | Printable version | See topic Kentucky
Thankful new pizzeria is smokefree Decision by Anderson's Pizzeria adds another option, writer says Lois Cunningham writes: I am so glad the new restaurant is smoke free. I think all restaurants should be smoke free especially where there are not separate rooms . . . how can anyplace be smoke free when the table next to you is the designated smoking area? My husband is a heart patient and has limited lung function so we are limited to smoke free places.

First Lady Jane Beshear announces Livingston, KY 'Trail Town' If you go: Livingston, KY, is 75.6 miles, 1 hour 26 minutes, NE of Downtown Columbia, KY (Google Map/Directions) BY Parry Barrows LIVINGSTON, KY (June 25, 2013) - First Lady Jane Beshear today announced that the community of Livingston is now a Kentucky "Trail Town," and is part of the effort to promote and develop adventure tourism opportunities across the state. "Livingston is a great example of a Trail Town with its proximity to the Daniel Boone National Forest and the Sheltowee Trace," Mrs. Beshear said. "The combination of hiking trails, horseback riding and the Rockcastle River make Livingston a perfect place for those seeking outdoor adventure." The Kentucky Trail Town Program is designed to help connect communities to trail systems and develop the locations as tourist destinations. It will guide travelers to trails, food, lodging, campgrounds, museums, entertainment and other services. The designation will help communities improve their local tourism economies and add more jobs. More than 30 communities have started the application process to become a Trail Town and are working with the Office of Adventure Tourism in the Tourism, Arts and Heritage Cabinet. Livingston is near several outdoor attractions - the Rockcastle River, Red Hill Horse Camp, several historic hiking trails and the Sheltowee Trace, as well as the Daniel Boone National Forest. The town has a trailhead with a visitor center that provides information about trails, attractions and local businesses related to outdoor adventure. Joining the First Lady for the announcement were Tourism, Arts and Heritage Secretary Bob Stewart, Office of Adventure Tourism Director Elaine Wilson, Rockcastle County Judge Buzz Carloftis, and Livingston Mayor Jason Medley. Wilson noted that the most important part of the Trail Town program is that each community decides what approaches it wants to take to tie in the trail system and other services that trail users need. The Office of Adventure Tourism will provide guidance to interested communities on issues such as trail development and signage, information and resources from other state agencies and how other communities have been successful by linking trails and services. "Our work toward receiving a Trail Town designation has brought our community together," Livingston Mayor Medley said. "This is a tremendous opportunity to showcase what nature has given us and what we can share with visitors to Livingston and Rockcastle County." Once a community receives the Trail Town certification, the Tourism, Arts and Heritage Cabinet, the Department of Travel and Tourism and Office of Adventure Tourism promotes and markets the communities and the services they offer. Each Trail Town will be highlighted on maps, websites, visitor's guides and other state promotional material. 2013-06-25 10:26:45 | Comments | Printable version
