Kentucky Museum at WKU to host Arte Cubano By Tiffany Isselhardt From March 9 to May 28, the Kentucky Museum in Bowling Green will host 'Arte Cubano', an exhibition celebrating Cuban contemporary art and diversity, as part of WKU's International Year of Cuba. Arte Cubano highlights a universally agreed-upon characteristic of the island's art: an incredible diversity. Cuban art is so rich in large part because of its diverse cultural blend of African, European, and Latin/Caribbean influences. Add to these traditional roots the revolution of 1959, and Cuban art occupies a unique aesthetic place in the contemporary art world.

Apply Now for Kentucky's 2019 Quota Elk Hunts Kentucky Department of Fish and Wildlife Frankfort, KY - Quota elk hunters can now apply for a new, either-sex archery/crossbow permit for Kentucky's 2019 elk season. "This new permit gives archery and crossbow hunters the freedom to choose whether to take a bull or a cow," said Gabe Jenkins, elk program coordinator for the Kentucky Department of Fish and Wildlife Resources. "We wanted to give hunters more flexibility and options to fill their permits," he said. "Archery elk hunting is hard - and just getting an elk in range is a feat. This should increase the overall success rate for our archers and crossbow hunters." In addition to the new permit, which allows archery and crossbow hunters to take a bull or a cow, Kentucky will continue to offer its traditional quota elk hunt permits: gun hunts for a bull or a cow, and the youth permit. The cost is $10 to apply for each permit. While hunters may apply for multiple permits, they may be drawn for only one.

Carol Perkins: Small Town Kindness Previous column: Carol Perkins: Count Your Blessings By Carol Perkins While my mom was at the beauty shop this week, I ran some errands for her. I dropped off her electric bill at the Tri-County window, whipped around to the City Building (next door to Tri-County) and stretched my arm to place $3.74 and her tax bill in the "drawer." (I'm too short and my vehicle too tall.) The clerk immediately noticed that I had placed the property tax bill in the window and not the city tax bill so she slid the drawer back out and before I could reach the bill and the money, a strong wind caught two of my three dollars and whirled them off like balloons released at a birthday party.
