Epizootic Hemorrhagic Disease Reported in Kentucky Deer By Mark Marraccini Kentucky Department of Fish and Wildlife Frankfort, KY - Epizootic Hemorrhagic Disease has been reported in white-tailed deer in several east Kentucky counties. The Kentucky Department of Fish and Wildlife Resources received confirmation from the Georgia-based Southeastern Cooperative Wildlife Disease Study Wednesday morning of a Kentucky deer with a strain of the disease. "Epizootic Hemorrhagic Disease is not transmittable to people or pets," Dr. Iga Stasiak, state wildlife veterinarian for Kentucky Fish and Wildlife. "However, we always recommend that hunters avoid eating venison from deer that were obviously sick." Epizootic Hemorrhagic Disease (EHD) is a viral disease transmitted to deer through the bite of a midge or gnat. The disease has been present in the United States for more than 60 years. Kentucky Fish and Wildlife receives and confirms EHD deer mortalities sporadically, with a small number of mortalities each year. Larger outbreaks tend occur every 5-7 years. Outbreaks cease at the first frost, which kills the biting bugs.

School: you've gotta love it By Linda Marcum Waggener School is starting and I have family members who are delighted about it, some dread it, and some fear it. I worry about them, encourage them to stay the course and say prayers for them. And I remember how school can be awful. School is definitely hard. Negotiating with all the personalities can be the greatest challenge. But here's why I love school, continuing education, no matter the age, because directed study adds to and pulls things out of our brains that we weren't consciously aware were there. I believe in life education. Frequently as a non-traditional student trying to finish degrees late in life, I'd be asked, "what are you doing going to college at your age?" The answer was, I love it. Not the process, necessarily, not tests, but the gained knowledge and the questions that cause thought.

Jon Halsey: on Frustration trying to get answers on telephones The bigger the company, the more frustrating the phone service Click headline read a story that you, like we, probably have experienced from large companies who use phone trees to obfuscate. Shouldn't there be a law against such devices??? Or should we just talk with our dollars and do no business with them. - CM By Jon Halsey After listening to my wife trying to resolve a simple problem with a large corporation, I realized that "too big to fail" has a corollary: "Too big to be of service." The best analogy that I could come up with is a scenario of three companies called "Grammar"
Assuming you have not tossed the phone out the window by now, you are faced with the following questions: "Would you like to speak to the Department for the dot over the i or would you like to be connected to the Department for the dot under the exclamation point or would you like to be connected to the Department for the dot under the question mark, or would you like to be connected to the Department for the dot at the end of a sentence. Press 223456789 to repeat the question.Assuming that you are still of stable enough mind to make a selection you hear the following: "I'm sorry, that Department is not currently available. Please try again later, Have a nice day! Goodbye" --Jon H 2017-08-11 11:15:59 | Comments | Printable version

Maury Lewis: Ideas on recycling needed By Maury Lewis I need some ideas on how to recycle the plastic parts from a leaf bagger that went on the back of my riding lawn mower. I have recycled all the metal parts. I have a large plastic top that went over the bags and I have the plastic chute the leaves went up to go in the bags that are hard plastic. I hate to put them into the trash if someone can help me find a way to recycle them into something else or they can use them for something, they can have them. I tried selling the bagger several times and I tried to give it away and no one wanted it. 270-634-2092 --melewi 2017-08-11 07:00:38 | Comments | Printable version | See topic Letters and Reader Feedback
