Letter: Mushroom might be Chlorophyllum molybdites

Marie Freeman writes:
Mushrooms are so hard to identify. You almost need to check spores, gills. A picture of the underside helps tremendously where the gills are. And remember with mushrooms it's always just an opinion!

I think it's: chlorophyllum molybdites. Or perhaps macrolepiota procera, amanita, chlorophyllum rachodes, or leucoagaricus americanus....or something totally different! https://www.mushroomexpert.com/chlorophyllum_molybdites.html

Governor announces $5M grant to prevent wrong-way crashes

From Naitore Djigbenou/Chuck Wolfe

Frankfort, KY - Gov. Andy Beshear on Monday announced the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet (KYTC) received $5.14 million in federal funds to improve highway safety on Interstates through innovative solutions to prevent wrong-way crashes.

"Wrong-way driving is a major safety challenge, not only in Kentucky, but also throughout the United States," said Gov. Beshear. "These funds will allow us to use innovative video technology to help monitor and bolster safety on corridors prone to these types of incidents."

Kentucky's Wrong Way Driving and Integrated Safety Technology System will use cutting-edge computing and video processing to implement a pilot program aimed at detecting and deterring wrong-way incidents by alerting the wrong-way driver, other drivers and emergency responders. Additionally, the system will improve existing intelligent transportation systems to monitor and detect other safety concerns related to pedestrians, debris and halted vehicles on the roadway.
