Kentuckians have toll-free way to share feedback with lawmakers By Robert Weber, LRC Frankfort, KY - For years, people throughout the state have used the Kentucky General Assembly's toll-free Message Line to share feedback with lawmakers on issues under consideration at the State Capitol. Operators take down callers' messages and contact information and promptly deliver the messages to the appropriate lawmakers' offices. Starting today, callers to the Message Line can continue offering messages to lawmakers even on the rare days when a winter storm shuts down the Capitol campus and operators aren't onsite to answer calls. On those days, callers will be asked to leave voice messages. Messages will be transcribed and sent to lawmakers' offices as soon as operators return. To call the Message Line, dial 1-800-372-7181. Since operators aren't onsite today due to the winter storm, callers will be asked to leave voice messages. Weather permitting, operators will return to answering calls in person on Friday, Feb. 19, 2021. 2021-02-17 18:52:25 | Comments | Printable version | See topic Politics

LCDHD: Adair, Casey, Cumberland drop out of red zone LCDHD COVID-19 Public Information Brief 2/17/2021 By Amy Tomlinson Lake Cumberland District Health Department We are happy our new case rate continues to drop. We now have 3 counties in the "orange-accelerated" range of community-spread: Adair, Casey, and Cumberland. The remaining 7 counties remain in the "red-critical" range of community-spread. Until the vaccine is widely available, let's all do our part in slowing the spread of COVID-19 by wearing our face coverings, avoiding crowds (especially in confined spaces), social distancing when around others, increasing our hand hygiene, increasing our general sanitation, and by avoiding touching our faces.

ACJE: Roads/Weather Update By Gale B. Cowan Adair County Judge Executive We are still receiving calls on road conditions and we understand everyone wants to be able to get out, especially in emergency situations. Roads are still extremely slick and dangerous, especially side roads. We ask that everyone continue to be patient and understanding as our County, State, and City road departments have worked day and night since Sunday night (I think is when all this started) to try and prepare and fight the winter weather systems that have come through our county. I know some roads may not have been treated, but most have, even if you can't tell it now. We are fortunate here to still have road salt, as some counties are out. With the wide area across our nation being hit by these storms, salt is in a short supply. We do still have salt at this time, and have more ordered, but when temperatures get as cold as they are today, salt treatment doesn't work. Roads that have been scraped are now solid ice, causing even our road departments dump trucks to slide off the roadways. We ask that everyone that possibly can stay off the roadways as a new system will be coming through our area tonight and tomorrow.

Andy Beshear said Kentucky continues to hold its progress against COVID-19, but it is too early to relax precautions.

Carol Perkins: Snow brings memories of childhood Previous Column: Guy is ready to get back on the road By Carol Perkins Snow brings memories of childhood: a childhood of deep snow lasting for weeks. Of slick roads, stranded vehicles that neighbors pushed out of ditches, and the snow report on Channel Five out of Nashville, long before WBKO. Just as if I were a child, I still find a snow prediction exciting. However, unlike those days, I am more concerned about those cleaning roads, trying to get to their jobs at a hospital or an emergency facility, or those climbing poles to get our lights back on. As a kid, I had no one in mind except myself and the glory of being out of school, sleigh riding, eating snow cream, and sleeping late. My brother Henry reminded me of a childhood event I had forgotten. Many of the worst/best snows came unexpectantly, throwing weathermen into a tizzy. One of those unexpected snowfalls is the background of his memory.

CPD: Edmonton man arrested for assault By Officer Adam Cravens, PIO Columbia Police Department The Columbia Police Department responded to a suspicious vehicle at Kentucky State Police Post 15 on Tuesday night, February 16, 2021. The call originated after Post Dispatcher contacted Adair 911 stating a male subject was in a truck in the parking lot attempting to light an unknown object on fire. Columbia Police responded as on duty troopers were out of county on unrelated traffic in Russell Springs. Upon arrival, officers made contact with a male subject who clearly had thick smoke coming from the interior of his truck cab. Officers advised male to exit vehicle at which time subject refused. Male then became agitated at officers and when told again to exit, he again refused and stated he was armed. It was at this time the subject was forced out of vehicle and began to fight with officers while being placed into custody. While male was actively resisting officers did locate a firearm on subject's person, which was quickly secured and he was taken into custody without further incident.

Road crews continue plowing, brace for another winter storm By Amber Hale Somerset, KY - The Kentucky Transportation Cabinet (KYTC) District 8 crews continue to clear icy highways this morning as they brace for another winter storm expected to move into the area later today. Road conditions vary county to county this morning. While main priority A routes such as I-75 and the Cumberland Parkway have clearer travel lanes, many A routes remain partly covered in areas. Priority B and C routes remain mostly to completely covered across the district. Because low temperatures make salt treatments ineffective, crews remained focused overnight on plowing operations primarily on priority A routes. As main routes are cleared crews will begin to address B and C routes. Crews were able to make some progress yesterday reaching pavement in some areas, however refreezing overnight has likely created slick spots along those routes.

Ash Wednesday, February 17, 2021 By Bro. Steve Pescosolido President, Adair County Ministerial Association It has been an Adair County tradition to hold a community worship service on Ash Wednesday. For years and years, this service was normally held at 12:05 followed by lunch and usually held at the Columbia United Methodist Church. This year, with COVID-19 and with the snow, we won't be able to keep our tradition. Yet, may we know in our hearts what this day is and remember the words that are spoken when persons are marked with ashes: "From dust you were created and to dust you shall return". These words remind us of our mortality. However, I usually like to add to these words: Remember the cross, the price of your salvation." While we remember our mortality, let us all remember the gift of grace and new life in Christ for eternity. All of this because of the love and the sacrifice of Jesus Christ. Ash Wednesday is also the beginning of the church season of Lent. And while Lent is not named in the Bible, it can be a very helpful 40-day season to give remembrance to the cross. During Lent, we can: Article continues... click title or click here to read whole article. 2021-02-17 06:46:46 | Comments | Printable version
