Licensing begins transition to Transportation Cabinet By Naitore Djigbenou/Chuck Wolfe Frankfort, KY - Kentucky Transportation Cabinet (KYTC) Secretary Jim Gray announced nearly all driver licensing services for residents of Franklin and Woodford counties will be transferred from the circuit court clerks in the Judicial Branch to the KYTC as of Monday, March 22. It is the next step in a phased, county-by-county transition of the process by which Kentuckians obtain operator licenses, learner permits and state identification cards. Services historically performed by the Office of Circuit Court Clerk in every Kentucky county will shift to a network of KYTC driver licensing regional offices across the Commonwealth. To date, KYTC has driver licensing regional offices around the state. They are located in Paducah, Madisonville, Bowling Green, Owensboro, Louisville/Hurstbourne, Elizabethtown, Frankfort, Lexington, Burlington, Richmond, Columbia, Somerset, Jackson, Morehead and Prestonsburg. There also are smaller, temporary field offices at Louisville/Bowman Field and Catlettsburg. Kentucky State Police will continue to oversee all permit and license testing. Franklin County and Woodford County residents may make an appointment online for written or road testing by visiting kentuckystatepolice.org/driver-testing. KSP will honor all existing scheduled appointments at the dates, times, and locations offered when scheduled initially.

History Monday: Corn Growing Contest, 1911 By Mike Watson Farming should never be far from the minds of those who like to eat. Agriculture has been the life's blood of this nation since the earliest days and will continue to be, for each of us, as long as we reside upon the top side of the sod. Our modern era has created a culture causing many to forget--or never to learn--where their sustenance originates. Urban living has created a multi-generational gap between the origins and the end products, packaged and on a shelf. Agriculture is at the heart of our survival. From a contest publicized in the Adair County News, issue of 15 March 1911, the following teens were turning their hands to growing a superior produce: "The Corn Contest--The following boys have entered the corn contest. This interesting plan of corn growing was gotten up by M.C. Rankin, Commissioner of Agriculture. The seed corn will be sent to N.H. Moss, County Judge of Adair County, and will be here for distribution in a short time.

ACJE: Fiscal Court working to help Sheriff Brockman By Gale Cowan Adair County Judge Executive I agree with Vickie that the Sheriff and his staff are doing an outstanding job. The Fiscal Court had planned to give Sheriff Brockman the money he requested but that request was stopped in Frankfort when they failed to approve our budget amendment to do so. Pursuant to KRS 64.710 the Fiscal Court cannot give the Sheriff's Office a lump sum of money. They can, however, pay for specific invoices if the sheriff presents them to the fiscal court for payment or reimbursement. I am still working with Sheriff Brockman to assist him any way I can legally do so. 2021-03-15 08:11:31 | Comments | Printable version
