Rodney Burris comments on kynect Comment above about: - kynect Special Enrollment Period ends Rodney Burris writes: I have been away from Columbia for years but still call it home and can keep up by reading your online magazine. I do have 1 question about this article Do you or anyone ever think about who is paying the bill to offer such a deal? I will tell you it's the hard working people of Kentucky whose rates are going through the roof to provide for the non producers as always. Thanks for allowing me to vent. - Rodney BurrisThanks, Rodney - You're right about sky high rates, but that happened a long, long time before the Affordable Care Act. It was really frightening during the period after Blue Cross Blue Shield management took the then mutual (policy holder owned) Blue Cross/Blue Shield private. Management got rich. We policy holders saw our rates go through the roof. -EW 2015-05-17 12:37:07 | Comments | Printable version

Mr. Talley is the attorney who guided the merger of the old Columbia Utilities water and sewer department merger with the Adair County Water District, the entities which now make up Columbia/Adair County Utilities district. The vote to hire Mr. Talley came at the utilities board's regular Thursday, 14 May 2015 meeting, to hire the second attorney came on the recommendation of CAUD attorney Marshall Loy, General Manager Lenny Stone, and Chairman Tim Baker. The vote to hire him was unanimous, with Baker and members Barry Stotts, Larry Russell Bryant, David Jones and Mike Newton affirming.

Mr. Talley, a resident of Hodgenville, KY, is a member of the law firm Stoll- Keenon-Ogden.

kynect Special Enrollment Period ends More than 3,000 additional Kentuckians signed up for private health insurance coverage during the special enrollment period. By: Kerri Richardson/Terry Sebastian FRANKFORT, Ky. - Governor Steve Beshear today announced that an additional 3,047 Kentuckians signed up for quality, affordable health coverage during a special enrollment period that ran from March 2 through April 30 to give Kentuckians unaware of possible tax penalties for the uninsured more time to sign up. "Our second open enrollment period was extremely successful, with many new individuals signing up or continuing their health coverage through kynect," said Gov. Beshear. "However, we knew there were Kentuckians who did not realize that if they do not obtain health coverage they may face significant penalties when they file their taxes. Given that the personal risks of not having health coverage are even greater than the penalties, we decided to continue a special enrollment period to allow those individuals more time to sign up. I'm pleased that the extra time allowed more than 3,000 Kentuckians to join the more than 100,000 who enrolled in private health coverage through kynect for 2015."

The holiday also is a day on which many of us remember our loved ones who have died.

Happy Tail: The dog who cried 'Wolf' - Darryl 
How the wily Darryl tricked Peg into a trip to Greensburg and McDonald's and a favorite food - sausage from HER Sausage and Biscuit, and has her worried that his little buddy, Duke, will learns his tricks. Next Previous Happy Tail: Happy Tail - Spanky, the red-nose pit bull By Peg Schaeffer Everyone who knows me knows Darryl. I've written a Happy Tail about my Beagle that has been more places than most people - most of them uninvited. So the other day when I thought he was sick I was very concerned. Darryl is always by my side. If he's not in trouble he's laying by my feet while I'm at the computer, sitting by my chair at the table looking for some treats, or riding in the truck waiting for me to open the door so he can jump out (even if he's supposed to stay in). The other day he kept whimpering as if he was hurt. He came downstairs with me and lay on the Kuranda bed but whenever he moved he would cry out. He wasn't his usual active self.
