Clyde David Taylor, 58, Green County, KY Clyde David Taylor departed this life on September 20, 2026. At the time of his passing, he was surrounded by his children and loved ones. He was 58 years old. Clyde was a certified jack of all trades. He spent his early adulthood serving in the U.S. Army National Guard, and later dedicated his life to a series of career paths. He was a skilled carpenter, lifelong farmer, and entrepreneur. There is nothing he enjoyed more than working. He didn't like vacation. It was his life's joy to be busy and even when doctors and loved ones told him to "take it easy," it was never a consideration for him. Clyde was funny. He was a storyteller and a fixer.

KDVA announces Team Kentucky Works Now Job Board From James Hensley Kentucky Department of Veterans Affairs Frankfort, KY - We're excited to introduce a new way to connect with employment opportunities across Kentucky: The Team Kentucky Works Now Job Board! The job board is a virtual platform designed to connect veterans, transitioning service members, their families, and other citizens of the Commonwealth who are seeking employment, with immediate-fill, seasonal, temporary, and other urgent hiring opportunities. The focus is on helping individuals who need work and a paycheck now, not necessarily long-term career positions and while that is always our goal, we do remain realistic to our approach. Our current Team Kentucky Job Fair is the best resource for reaching the goal of long-term careers. The aim of the job board is to answer a consistent need we saw, which the job fair could not meet. The job board was created to give job seekers access to opportunities anytime, not just during our monthly Team Kentucky Virtual Job Fairs. Employers can post openings for immediate hire, temporary and seasonal positions, internships, and other current workforce needs, giving job seekers another way to connect with employers who are actively looking for candidates.

Football: You Looking for Beef? Will Stein is 100% Angus By Ryan Hoots Sports Director, UntdWeStnd.com Lexington, KY - Well, that escalated quickly. Just a mere seven days ago Kentucky walked into their home locker room at Kroger Field after taking thumping from the Tide. THIRTY TWO unanswered points in the Second Half of a nationally televised game that was (supposed) to be Will Stein's coming out party left a lot of BBN (myself included) feeling as if we might be in for yet another long football season. It presented the first-year coach with his real test. Not in the playbook, not recruiting, not even a press conference. The test was one question, and that is, "What is your team going to do after such a tough defeat?" Apparently, the answer is to go to one of the rowdiest environments in all of college football and knock off the #9 ranked Texas A&M Aggies at Kyle Field.
