KSP, KDE issue statement on recent school threats From Sherry Bray/Jennifer Ginn Frankfort, KY - In response to several school threats that have occurred across the commonwealth this week, the Kentucky State Police and the Kentucky Department of Education have issued the below statements. "Kentucky State Police will continue to work with school resource officers, local law enforcement and school administrators to ensure the safety of all students. As a trooper and a father who has children in our school system, I can assure you that we will take any threat seriously and make arrests where possible." -Kentucky State Police Commissioner Phillip Burnett, Jr. "There is no greater trust - or responsibility - that can be given to our schools than a parent or guardian saying he or she trusts us with his or her child. While we are concerned about the amount of time our students are missing due to these hoaxes, our primary concern is the safety and well-being of the students and staff members that are in our schools every day across Kentucky. We ask our families to talk with their students about the very real and serious consequences that can happen if they call in a threat against another student or their school. A threat like this can result in a student facing suspension, expulsion and/or alternative placements, in addition to the consequences from our justice system." -Kentucky Department of Education Commissioner Robbie Fletcher Kentucky State Police and Kentucky Department of Education urge parents to have a conversation with their children about the dangers and consequences of posting threatening messages on social media or online. Families should also speak with their children about reporting any concerning information they may come across on social media or online to an adult. Ensuring that any information reported is accurate and truthful is crucial, as false reports can lead to unnecessary fear and confusion. However, KSP emphasizes that this should not discourage anyone from reporting potential crimes or threats.

Carol Perkins: One box can change a life Previous Column: Little Bit and Bruno By Carol Perkins By now, everyone knows my passion for the Samaritan's Purse Shoebox Mission. As projects leaders, my friend and I attended a workshop in Greensburg. One of our speakers was a young man, Thomas, who had received a shoebox when he was thirteen. He couldn't reveal his country (or village) for fear of endangering the Christians who lived there (2%) or the missionaries who worked under the radar. His story was that of poverty and bullying (because he was a Christian). He told about wearing clothes three or four layers down from cousins and eating muddy rice that his mother, who made $12 a month, bought from the government. "She washed and washed that rice until most of the mud disappeared." The most heart-wrenching account had to do with a pencil.

Terrorists of 911 - looking into the eyes of hate By Pam Capozziello My remembrance of 911 - Back in 2001, I was living in West Palm Beach, Florida and worked in a drive thru zoo in various retail stores. On July 3, a horrible man came up to the window ordering drinks and he was exceptionally mean and nasty to me. He had very scary eyes, like the devil, and spoke with a foreign accent. He was with a few other guys, all of which were darker skinned. I remember the white car they came in as well. After the terrorists pictures came out in the newspaper following the twin towers collapsing I had immediately recognized the scary eyes man as the same man that came to my window demanding drinks and just super nasty to me like he hated women.

First TADD signs going up in Adair County By Mike Keltner, Director Adair County Emergency Management Each year across the US, more deaths occur due to flooding than from any other thunderstorm related hazard. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention report that over half of all flood-related drownings occur when a vehicle is driven into hazardous flood water. The next highest percentage of flood-related deaths is due to walking into or near flood waters. People underestimate the force and power of water. Many of the deaths occur in cars swept downstream. Many of these drownings are preventable. A mere 6 inches of fast-moving flood water can knock over an adult. It takes just 12 inches of rushing water to carry away most cars. It is NEVER safe to drive or walk into flood waters. We have repetitive flash flooding issues on some roadways in Adair County. Many of these waterway crossing or waterway adjacent roadways present a threat to the safety of motorists when flooding is present.

New signal heads installed on US127 in Russell Springs From Amber Hale Motorists will soon encounter a new type of traffic signal at three intersections along U.S. 127 in Russell Springs. The new lights include a flashing yellow arrow, which indicates that motorists are allowed to proceed with caution but must yield to oncoming traffic. This new type of traffic signal designed to improve safety at intersections is being installed at the intersections of KY 80, Northridge Shopping Center and KY 619 along U.S. 127.
