Travel note and comment on state of fleet, Pulaski Co., KY Commentary from Joyce M. Coomer Monday, Greg and I were in Somerset. Usually, when we go to Somerset, it's on the weekend so we don't see much of the day to day work traffic. In the course of driving from one point to another in Somerset, we saw four or five local government vehicles for the road department and the water district. The newest truck we saw was a late 1990s model. Interesting that Somerset and Pulaski County, where average household income is considerably higher than Adair County, are utilizing vehicles more than 15 years old. Joyce M.

Carol Perkins: In a small town, it's not about money 'Only in a small town can a person call on a business owner, who happened to be covered in cars and trucks to repair and certainly didn't have time to do a job not in his job description, and that person come to your rescue.' - CAROL PERKINS Next previous Carol Perkins column: Carol Perkins: After $500 consult, still Sleepy in Edmonton, KY By Carol Perkins For two hours, I had been cooling my heels at home, waiting for my appointment for a massage. Nothing is more relaxing than a massage and I needed to relax. Near the time for me to leave, I dashed out the garage door, leaving it unlocked so I thought. When I got inside the car, the keys were not there. I went back to the house to get my keys but the door I thought was unlocked was not. Sometimes it locks itself. Immediately, that sinking feeling you get when you know you are doomed came over me. Normally, I would have had a spare key outside, but last Christmas when we changed front door hardware, the key for those doors was not put in the hiding spot. I blame Guy for that. I found two keys but neither fit. Article continues... click title or click here to read whole article. 2015-08-19 11:09:55 | Comments | Printable version | See topic Carol Perkins

Rep. Hal Rogers notes, "Broadband is as important to our progress today as interstate highways were 60 years ago. It's essential to economic growth and prosperity in eastern Kentucky. KentuckyWired - the Iway - 3,000 'middle miles' of fiber infrastructure will be built From Governor Steve Beshear's Communications Office Frankfort, KY - (18 Aug 2015) - Governor Steve Beshear has signed an executive order creating the Kentucky Communications Network Authority (KCNA) and its governing board to manage the KentuckyWired open-access broadband network. The project will create high-speed Internet connectivity to every corner of the Commonwealth to enhance economic development and workforce and educational opportunities while sustaining Kentucky's economy for generations to come. "Broadband, like electricity, water and sewer, is now an essential service but has been too expensive for private carriers to build out a high-speed, high-capacity network across the entire state," Gov. Beshear said. "With KentuckyWired, or the I-Way, an open-access network, the state will be responsible for building out the middle portion of a fiber network, similar to our interstate system of roads."
