Remembering Ed Waggener: Tribute to Ed By Gerald Reliford The community of Adair county has lost a loyal and dedicated member with the passing of Ed Waggener. He invested his life trying to help and improve the people and conditions here. I met Ed forty years ago in February 1978. I and my family came home (being Adair natives) for a visit shortly after the big blizzard of 1978. It was to be a weekend visit, but 40 years later we are still here.

Fall Forest Fire Hazard Season Begins Monday Seasonal restrictions on outdoor burning in effect By John Mura/Lanny Brannock Frankfort, KY - The Kentucky Division of Forestry is preparing for fall wildfire season. Wildfires in Kentucky threaten damage to homes, private property, trees and landscapes. More importantly, they place lives at risk, including those of firefighters. The vast majority of Kentucky's wildfires are preventable, the result of arson and careless open-burning (burning of trash, debris and brush). Despite a wet beginning to fall, with more than nine inches of rain falling in Lexington in the month of September, and nearly seven inches falling in Jackson County in September, weather conditions can change quickly and become favorable to wildfire activity.

KY town's water reservoir runs dangerously low By Will Wright Lexington Herald-Leader Original URL: kentucky.com/news/state/article218803370.html A reservoir that supplies thousands of Eastern Kentuckians with drinking water has fallen to a critically low level over the past month, prompting officials to declare a state of emergency and raising fear among residents that their faucets will run dry. The Martin County Water District has been in a state of nearly constant crisis since a massive water outage in January, when it shut off service to residents for days at a time, leaving many of its roughly 3,500 customers struggling to bathe or cook. The district's most recent and pressing problem is the critically low water level at its reservoir.

New KY licenses to have option for REAL ID compliance New Travel ID licenses will finally be REAL ID compliant, a requirement for boarding commerical airplanes and entering federal buildings. New documentation will be required to apply for a Travel ID, while the process for an old-style license will remain largely unchanged. By Naitore Djigbenou/Jordan Smith Frankfort, KY - The Kentucky Transportation Cabinet unveiled the design of the 2019 driver's licenses, permits and personal IDs today and walked through the evolution of credentials at a press event at the Louisville International Airport. Kentucky's new issuance system and updated identity credentials offer increased counterfeit protection and showcase a new, modern look that gives a nod to the state's iconic images. Through a phased rollout beginning in early 2019, Kentuckians renewing existing driver's licenses, permits or personal IDs, or those applying for the first time, may request their card in one of two versions: a new standard credential or a Voluntary Travel ID credential. All credentials will be produced at a single, secure location and offer the same security improvements.

Remembering Ed Waggener: Farewell To A Friend By Robert Ellis My regret is I only got to know Ed just these last few years. I think he and I had a somewhat kindred spirit, separated only by our varied ages. The last few phone calls I had with him, he would apologize for taking up so much time. Little did he know I was thoroughly enjoying our conversations; from photography, business growth for Columbia (he had a big heart for Columbia), to his early years in the newspaper business. We had planned, but could never firm up a date, of traveling around the countryside looking for photo opportunities. Now that will never be. I have benefitted, not so much monetarily, but inspirationally, from Columbia Magazine's willing and readiness to publish my photos. Oftentimes I confided in Ed I felt like I was "flooding" his site with my pics, and he would always remind me my pics were always welcome and at whatever frequency I wanted to send them in would be fine. He (I think) was one of my biggest fans. I understand now by publishing other contributing photographers, as well as mine, Ed was inspiring others to get out and enjoy the world of photography...of which he had a passion for. I will miss those phone calls, and trip we didn't take. My prayers are for Ed's Family during this time of sorrow. 2018-09-25 06:33:19 | Comments | Printable version
