Program example of President Obama's three pillars of education, economy, and environment coming together in one initiative, Gov. Beshear says

---

From Gov. Steve Beshear's Communications OfficeFRANKFORT, KY - Gov. Steve Beshear and the Kentucky Energy and Environment Cabinet's Division for Air Quality (DAQ) announced that DAQ will be administering at least $1.73 million in funding for Clean School Bus programs through the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) of 2009.

"This is an example of how President Obama's three pillars of education, economy and environment can come together in one initiative," Gov. Beshear said. "The Clean School Bus programs will create more than 30 jobs, benefit air quality, and reduce student absenteeism due to allergies and asthma. I encourage all of our school districts to apply for this funding."

Good Neighbors: People of Adair Co., KY take care of each other

To ColumbiaMagazine.com

This is a big thanks to Dennis Loy.

My riding lawn mower broke down and my son was mowing the yard with a push mower when the push mower quit working. I was trying to find someone to repair my troubles when Dennis Loy came over and finsihed cutting my grass.

I can't thank him enough. I have lived here now for eleven years and never found a place where the people of the area or county take care of each other like they do in Adair County. I can't thank Dennis enough, I really appreciate it.
