Local voter turnout above average

By Pen Waggener

According to the Kentucky State Board of Elections, most local counties had higher voter turnout in the 2018 Kentucky General Election than the state average of 47.38%, with Adair posting a healthy 54.69%. Metcalfe rang up the highest percentage of registered voters casting ballots in Tuesday's voting, at 57.94%.

Casey was the only local county with voter turnout below the state average, perhaps because so many of the candidates for important local offices were running unopposed, including Circuit Clerk, PVA, Sheriff, County Judge/Executive, County Clerk, and Jailer.

Carol Perkins: Guy is a good sport

Previous article by Carol: Carol Perkins: In the 50s/60s, Halloween was dangerous time

By Carol Perkins

Each year Guy and I go to Las Vegas for an industrial trade show (I go to be going), and each year we dine with three other couples whom we don't see except from year to year. The CEO of this company takes us to a nice restaurant and to a show. This year we saw Celine Dion. Guy avoids plays/concerts/shows, but he had to go and no one could go home not feeling overwhelmed by her talent.
