Carol Perkins: Snow brings happy memories of Chicago Previous Column: The Acting Bug By Carol Perkins Among the happiest times of my adult life revolves around snow. Although snow falling in the hills of Kentucky and my small community is delightful, being in the city when it snows is as exciting to me as the Kentucky Derby is to my friends. One of my best memories was when thirteen of us ladies, which included a couple of teenagers, made our way to Chicago before Christmas. Winters in Chicago can be brutal and this weekend started out mild, but in a twenty-four hour period, temperatures dropped and so did the snow. When we arrived at the airport, one of the ladies had arranged for two stretch limos to pick us up.

Human Trafficking - it's not done the way you think "A common misconception about human trafficking comes from movies like "Taken," causing people to believe that traffickers kidnap or snatch victims off the street. The reality is that recruitment into trafficking is much more manipulative. Traffickers gain a victim's trust, gaining information and filling the needs of the victim, whether emotional, physical or financial. Victims are then isolated and when manipulation is no longer enough to maintain control, the physical violence begins. Call a tip in about sex or labor trafficking if you suspect it. In Kentucky, no minor can consent to commercial sexual activity (stripping, prostitution, or pornography) and anyone who suspects that a minor is involved in commercial sexual activity has a legal duty to report that suspicion to the Cabinet for Health and Family Services at 1-877-KYSAFE1. If there is an immediate danger, call 911 but do not try to intervene. Non-emergency tips may also be provided to the National Human Trafficking Hotline at 1-888-373-7888." By Linda Waggener, columbiamagazine.com Allyson Taylor, Director of the office of Child Abuse and Human Trafficking Prevention and Prosecution in the Office of the Attorney General, provided information to dispel the common misconceptions about human trafficking, how traffickers recruit victims, the indicators of trafficking, and how to report suspicions. Human Trafficking occurs when one person subjects another person to forced labor or services or commercial sexual activity through the use of force, fraud or coercion.

Electrical Shock Drowning a silent killer on lakes and waterways Anyone who is around boats and the water, especially at marinas where electric power is present, should understand ESD. By Susan West Frankfort, KY - If you plan to visit the Kentucky Sport, Boat & Recreation Show at Rupp Arena, Heritage Hall and Lexington Convention Center Feb. 8 - 10, 2019, make sure to drop by the Department of Housing, Buildings, and Construction's (HBC) table and view brief educational seminars on the topic of Electrical Shock Drowning (ESD). HBC is partnering with Kentucky State Parks and Kentucky Department of Fish and Wildlife to make boaters aware of the dangers of ESD, which results in numerous severe injuries and deaths every year. ESD occurs when faulty wiring sends an electric current into the water, which passes through the body and causes paralysis, ultimately resulting in drowning.

Junior Stotts was a true friend and community asset By Rob Wilkerson This week, Adair County and Kentucky lost a true friend and asset in the passing of Junior Stotts. Junior was instrumental and a driving force in a lot of utility installation projects most of us take for granted here in Adair County and across the state. One project that Junior was the driving force behind was the reconstruction of the 55/206 intersection. This project was badly needed because of the flooding below that area and the traffic flow. The culverts under 55 and 206 were in terrible condition and could have failed at any time with the amount of traffic on those roads. As soon as Junior was made aware of the condition he took action and before long we had a new intersection with turning lanes. This is just one project he was involved in and I'm sure many other people know of more that he has been responsible for. Every time I pull up to that intersection, I think of him and what he did to make every person that travels that road drive a little safer. He was a true friend to me and many others and will be missed. --Rob 2019-02-07 08:11:47 | Comments | Printable version | See topic Letters and Reader Feedback

Letter: Knifley photo could be building in another town Mike Watson writes: This building is not known to me; I don't think it looks like any historic building--present or torn away--that I've ever found in this county.
