Writer says Grass clippings discharged on roads a hazard

Robert Cumming writes:
Regarding Mr. Mack's comment regarding bike road debris hazards, I would like to add thoughtless people who discharge grass clippings from their mowers towards the road. This dangerous mowing practice creates a hazard with slick grass between tires and asphalt resulting in possible loss of control when running over grass road debris. There ought to be stricter law enforcement against this danger. - Robert Cumming

Comments re article 75916 Billy Joe Fudge Common sense approach for roadkill cleanup

By Harry Mack
Personal commentary

I won't comment on the common sense issue either way but will comment on something not mentioned: safety!

While you may think it is a minor problem if you run over a small carcass with your car or you just straddle it, it is a problem for those of us who ride on 2 wheels.

Kentucky River Locks and Dams Getting Lots of Use

Upcoming events celebrate the Kentucky River. The Kentucky River Authority operates Kentucky River locks and dams 5 through 14. It is administratively attached to the Finance and Administration Cabinet.

By Pamela Trautner

Frankfort, KY - Kentucky River locks and dams Nos. 1 through 4 opened to boaters on May 22 for the first time since major renovation work began in 2007. Now 82 miles of the Kentucky River are navigable from Frankfort to its mouth at the Ohio River.

"The Kentucky River is such a wonderful natural asset," said Finance and Administration Cabinet Secretary Lori H. Flanery. "I'm pleased that our hard work to repair the locks and dams can now be enjoyed by boaters from near and far. This is another aspect of tourism with the potential to positively impact businesses along the river."

Since opening on Memorial Day weekend, more than 1,200 people on 295 boats have passed through the locks. On average it takes approximately 20 to 30 minutes to "lock through."

Carol Perkins: Participation keeps one keeping on

The author loves activities with other people - participating. She examines reasons why not all others enjoy it as much as she, and why encouraging participation in others may not be the right thing to do.
Next earlier Carol Perkins column: Carol Perkins: Send me off

By Carol Perkins

I am an advocate of participation. If a person doesn't participate in something, whether it is clubs or church activities or playing cards on Saturday night, she (or he) can grow indifferent about getting up in the morning. We all need something to do. At least this is my assessment.

Not only do I want something to do, I want those around me to be doing something. This drives Guy insane.

Tara Hadley Hansen asks, from Utah - Fairgrounds gone?

Tara Hadley Hansen writes:
This is Tara Hadley - Hansen, Tiff Kessler's little sis. I don't know if you remember but I live in Utah. I recently found out the Adair County Fairgrounds may soon be a thing of the past. Is this true? Do you know anything about this? Anything that can be done?

I love reading the old newspapers (early 1900's) from Adair County on the Kentucky Digital Library and the Adair County Fair has been such a huge part of our history that it really saddens me to think the fairgrounds will be lost. The whole process may already be completed and I'm just doing some wishful thinking. :( - Thanks, - TARA.
Tara - There's a lot of speculation circulating around town now on this subject, but this year's fair is on in the same place, relatively same times, and is being enhanced this year by a circus performance. Starting today, we expect to have reminders of the 2015 Adair County Fair every day until the fair the giveaway. The schedule will be posted sometime this week. We'll be waiting for reliable information on the status of the fairground to think about the future. Hope you'll join all who cherish the tradition and get home to Adair County for this Fair. - EW
