Motorists urged to be safe behind the wheel as KY reopens By Erin G. Eggen Frankfort, KY - As Kentuckians transition from Healthy at Home to Healthy at Work, the Kentucky Office of Highway Safety (KOHS) is asking motorists to help prevent an increase in crashes, injuries and deaths as traffic volumes increase. "Many Kentuckians have worked diligently to make sure our friends and family are safe by being healthy at home," said Gov. Andy Beshear. "As some Kentuckians return to work, let's make sure to have that same dedication to safety when getting behind the wheel."

Sen. Max Wise's Legislative Update - May 22, 2020 Personal political commentary/opinions of the writer By State Senator Max Wise, (R-Campbellsville) 16th District: Adair, Clinton, Cumberland, McCreary, Russell, Taylor, and Wayne Counties On this Memorial Day, honor the brave service members who have given their lives so that we may enjoy freedom. We have all lived with new health and safety precautions over the past several months. In light of that, our appreciation for the liberties for which these brave men and women died should be as visible as ever. We are blessed to live as citizens of both the United States and the Commonwealth of Kentucky, and that is due to the sacrifices of others. Memorial Day was established to honor those who perished in the Civil War, which claimed more lives than any conflict in U.S history. In May 2000, a "National Moment of Remembrance" was established as an opportunity for citizens to join together and memorialize the brave service men and women who have lost their lives in the line of duty. This Memorial Day at 3 p.m. local time, citizens across the United States are encouraged to pause for a moment of silence to honor our fallen heroes.

Letter: Larry Smith Rialto photo Comments re: Favorite Old Photo: The Rialto By Jim A big tip o' the hat to Larry Smith for this great photo! "Courtin' Trouble," the singing cowboy movie advertised on the poster above the Rialto entrance, was released just before Thanksgiving 1948 and made its way to Columbia for screening on Friday and Saturday, March 18 & 19, 1949. Those attending also were treated to a cartoon and Chapter 5 of the 12-part "Federal Agents v Underworld Inc." serial. On the right (viewer's left) side of the entrance, posters advertise the shows for March 20-21-22 (Station West, with Dick Powell & Jane Greer) and March 25-26 (The Sheriff of Medicine Bow, another cowboy flick, starring Johnny Mack Brown, plus a cartoon and Chapter 6 of "Federal Agents"). 2020-05-22 08:15:03 | Comments | Printable version | See topic Jim: History

Carol Perkins: Catch and release Previous Column: A silver lining in the new normal By Carol Perkins As you know by now, we have a resident raccoon. What you haven't read is that we have two! HAD two. A good friend and his children set a trap for the first one, which the raccoon (we named Robbie), moved six feet, ate the honey bun, and left the door down. How that happened is speculation. He certainly was not small enough to squeeze through the trap door. A Houdini raccoon. So, we go back to a new honey bun and a second attempt. BINGO, the large raccoon edged into the cage after the honey bun, and the lid went down. Success! As I watched him struggling to escape, I felt sorry for the creature. He was only trying to find food. Like life, sometimes we stick our nose where it doesn't belong, and the trap falls. That is how I thought of the masked man. Our friends took the raccoon to somewhere on Mosby Ridge, and he is now part of the wild. The following night we were smug in our relief that the birds would have their feed without the intruder climbing the pole and knocking down their seeds. Guy flipped on the outside light to check out the deck (we have a habit of that) and looking him straight in the eyes was another raccoon.
