Letter: F150 steering

John Cox writes:
The old Fords that I owned in the past had steering boxes that wore as they aged. Old school mechanics would rebuild them. They can be procured from any parts house already rebuilt for these modern times. Plug and play even. --John

Governor's Saturday update: 638 new cases

By Crystal Staley/Sebastian Kitchen

Frankfort, KY - Gov. Andy Beshear on Saturday updated Kentuckians on the state's continuing efforts to fight the novel coronavirus 2019 (COVID-19).

"Saturday's COVID report unfortunately suggests this is going to be the highest week of total cases that we've ever had, though our positivity rate is going down a little bit," said Gov. Beshear. "Folks, this thing is real. We are at war with it and we are going to have to be the strong, resilient and also patient Kentuckians that we are to make sure that we prevent loss of life, that we promote health and that we protect our children, that we should never, ever experiment with."

Case Information
As of 4 p.m. Aug. 15, Gov. Beshear said there were at least 38,930 coronavirus cases in Kentucky, 638 of which were newly reported Saturday. Seventeen of the newly reported cases were from children age 5 and younger.

The Governor highlighted how more young Kentuckians are testing positive, especially in the hot spots, as the new school year approaches. "When you look at how hard children are being hit now, 322 people under the age of 18 have tested positive since the beginning of this in Warren County alone."

BFPL Loan approved for Taylor Co. Farmer

By Marielle McElmurray

Frankfort, KY - The Kentucky Agricultural Finance Corp. (KAFC) today approved $1,314,319 in seven agricultural loans for projects in the commonwealth at its board meeting.

"As always, it is great to see agricultural producers around the state receive KAFC loans to help improve and diversify their operations," said Gov. Andy Beshear. "The five Beginning Farmer loans are a testament to the investments KAFC continues to make in the next generation of agriculturalists."

Beginning Farmer Loan Program (BFLP)
Five Beginning Farmer loans totaled $1,020,875 for recipients in Clinton ($250,000), Hardin ($334,000), Madison ($235,000) and Taylor ($201,875) counties.

Letter: a little help needed on the F150

Joyce Coomer writes:
The F150 has play in the steering wheel. I know, from listening to Greg complain about it being there and his taking it to Owen Pollard to have the play taken out, that play in the steering wheel can be lessened or removed.

Is there anyone who knows how that is done or knows someone who can do it?

So far I've talked to three places in different counties that do front-end alignment and they say they've never heard of taking play out of steering.

Thanks in advance for any info. - Joyce
