MCHS juniors Jozie Allen and Corinne Keller are two of four regional award winners chosen by the electric cooperative to attend this year's "Government in Action" Youth Tour. This is the fourth consecutive year that MCHS will have a representative on the tour. "We are excited that Farmers RECC has invited two of our Hornets this year to take part in this one-of-a-kind educational opportunity," Principal Joseph Eaton said. "Jozie and Corinne will be excellent ambassadors for our school and community. Both are stellar students who can bring new ideas to our state and national leaders. We can't wait to hear about their experiences when they return. Kentucky is among the 45 states to send youth delegations to the annual electric cooperative youth tour. The students visit with U.S. congressional members, participate in energy and grassroots government education sessions, and go sightseeing in Washington, D.C.

KY General Fund and Road Fund receipts for February 2026 Frankfort, KY - The Office of State Budget Director reported on Tuesday, March 10, 2026, that February's General Fund receipts declined 0.6 percent compared to February of last year. Collections for the month were $970.8 million while General Fund revenues for February 2025 were $977.1 million. Receipts have fallen 1.1 percent through the first eight months of FY26. The official CFG estimate calls for a 1.3 percent decline in revenues for the current fiscal year. To meet the official revenue estimate, receipts can decline 1.7 percent over the last four months of the fiscal year and still meet the estimate. State Budget Director John Hicks remarked that "the withholding component of the individual income tax plus the sales tax combined to generate $864.2 million of the $970.8 million in General Fund revenue, or 89 percent of the February total. The withholding component fell by only 2.6 percent despite the 12.5 percent reduction in the income tax rate effective last month. That is due in part to the filing schedule for some businesses that results in a February deposit of some of their withholding taxes from December at the higher 4 percent tax rate. Income tax refund amounts and the number of returns requesting refunds in February were higher than last year. The sales tax continues to be stable, rising 3.3 percent in February and up 4.8 percent for the year."

KSP: Fatal Collision on KY 88 in Green Co. From Trooper Jonathan Houk Greensburg, KY - On March 10, 2026, at 9:10amCT, Kentucky State Police (KSP) Post 15 Troopers responded to a three-vehicle injury collision on KY 88 in Green County. The preliminary investigation revealed that a 14-year-old juvenile was traveling west on KY 88 in a 2009 Subaru Forester. The juvenile entered a curve and lost control of his vehicle. The Subaru crossed the center line of the roadway and sideswiped a 2006 GMC bucket truck traveling east on KY 88, operated by Patrick Elmore, 54, of Greensburg. After making contact with the bucket truck, the Forester then collided with a 2011 Ford F350 traveling east on KY 88. The F350 operated by Willie Mosier, 31, of Cookeville, TN. The F350 caught fire shortly after the collision. Mr. Mosier was able to free himself and exit the vehicle before the fire reached the passenger compartment. The 14-year-old juvenile was pronounced deceased at the scene by the Green County Coroner. A passenger in the Forester, Angelo Forsee, 20, of Russell Springs, was transported to the University of Louisville Hospital with serious injuries. Two other passengers in the Forester, Adrian Crew, 32, of Columbia, and Jacob Mann, 28, of Russell Springs, were transported to the TJ Sampson Hospital for treatment of injuries. Mr. Elmore and Mr. Mosier did not report any injuries. KSP Post 15 Troopers were assisted at the scene by the Green County Sheriff's Office, Green County Fire/EMS, Summersville Fire Department, Grab Fire Department, and the Green County Coroner's Office. Senior Trooper Trevor Sagrecy is investigating the collision. 2026-03-11 12:00:36 | Comments | Printable version | See topic Police and Fire Reports

A week to serve and remember for LWU Residence Life staff By Duane Bonifer Lindsey Wilson University's Madyson Jones '25 said she was not looking forward to a spring break service trip to New York City, even though she had planned it. But after experiencing the Lindsey Wilson residence life tradition for the first time, the Elizabethtown native said she quickly understood the significance of the trip. "To be frank, I was dreading going on the trip," said Jones, who is the women's resident director and a student in the university's graduate program in counseling. "But I had the best time. I really did not understand the impact of this trip until I experienced it." For more than a quarter-century, Lindsey Wilson's residence life staff members have traveled to New York to volunteer at God's Love We Deliver, a 41-year-old nonprofit organization that delivers meals to people with severe illnesses. During this year's spring break, March 2-6, 2026, twelve residence life staff members were joined by Dean of Students Chris Schmidt and Assistant Dean of Students Abe Cross. In addition to serving with God's Love We Deliver, the residence life group toured the 9/11 Memorial & Museum and took in some of the sights of the Big Apple.
