Daily News for Friday, March 15, 2019
Letter: Easements allow rising waters over roadways The Corps of Engineers purchased thousands of acres to be in what they call "easements" in case of 100-year floods such as we've apparently had recently. The land owner can still farm the land but cannot put up any structures such as barns, sheds, houses, etc.; fences are okay as they are not considered permanent structures. This does not prevent rising waters from covering roadways and since the roadways are government property (albeit paid for by taxpayers who are the real owners) if rising waters cover them, it is all part and parcel of government ownership. - Joyce M.

McCracken tornado destroys buildings; no deaths reported By Dave Thompson, The Paducah Sun When McCracken County Sheriff's Sgt. Ryan Willcutt arrived at Mt. Zion Baptist Church Thursday morning, he thought he would have time to check out the situation and find shelter from the tornadic storm he believed was about five minutes away in Ballard County. He was wrong. "All of a sudden I looked across Blandville Road, and I saw a tree come up out of the ground, all the power lines pulled up out of the ground," said Willcutt. "At that point, I just kind of braced for impact when I saw the debris field come through that parking lot." The tornado, which early estimates classified an EF-2, pushed Willcutt's car into the side of the church, pummeling the vehicle with slabs of wood, sheets of metal and other debris.

Senate majority leaders protect KY tech chief's $375,000 salary Rep. Carney's bill to limit Grindle's controversial salary doesn't get called for a vote in the Senate. By Tom Loftus, Louisville Courier Journal Senate leaders never called the bill cutting Charles Grindle's salary for a vote Thursday, meaning that the state's chief information officer will almost surely be able to keep his annual pay of $375,000. The House had earlier passed - on a 99-0 vote - the bill that would roll Grindle's salary back to a salary equal to the highest salary paid to a chief information official in any neighboring state. That would have apparently cut Grindle's salary to $207,420 which is what the Tennessee Department of Human Resources says it pays its chief technology official.

Carol Perkins: On cooking Previous Column: How to tame a dragon By Carol Perkins Cooking is no longer a top priority for me, and yet eating remains one for Guy. He plans his day around meals. When he is working away from home, which he does each week, he can tell me exactly where he is going to eat. This week he was in Huntsville and eating at what he calls "one of the best Mexican restaurants EVER!" He knows the best BBQ in Memphis and ribs in St Louis. He could be a judge on a cooking show as long as the cooks didn't throw in weird ingredients of which he would have no knowledge. He likes food he can identify. This brings me to last week when I tried some different ways to make his standards. Meatloaf is one of his favorites.
