VFW Memorial Day Program By Joe Hare, Commander The public is invited to the annual VFW Memorial Day program on Sunday, 26 May 2019. The program begins at 2:30pmCT at the VFW post located at 500 Greenhills Road, Columbia. As we remember all our lost comrades, this year we will be putting emphasis on our Prisoners of War and Missing in Action brothers and sisters. This will be achieved by a formal instillation of the POW/MIA Table by a group of Veterans, of the "US Veteran Motorcycle Club" from Bowling Green, KY. The program is very emotional to veterans and I am sure to the public at large. It is not a lengthy program and will be held in our post hall, then we will move outside for our salute to our fallen brothers and sisters. Looking forward to seeing you there. 2019-05-20 15:26:52 | Comments | Printable version | See topic Veterans and Veterans Day

Bevin Joins 23 states in challenging New York handgun law By Nicole Burton Frankfort, KY - Gov. Matt Bevin has joined 23 other states in a U.S. Supreme Court amicus brief in defense of Second Amendment rights. The brief challenges a New York City handgun law that criminalizes taking a handgun outside the home. The brief recognizes this restriction as both "inconsistent with history" and "unreasonable," noting that "carrying arms outside of the home, historically, was a vital component of self-defense." "This is the first Second Amendment case heard by the Supreme Court in nearly a decade," said Steve Pitt, General Counsel to Gov. Bevin. "We joined this case without reservation because Kentuckians have a vested interest in ensuring that states like New York cannot infringe upon the right of Kentucky citizens to bear arms. It is critically important that the Supreme Court hear directly from the Commonwealth when deciding this important issue."

Warm Weather Brings Seasonal Home Repair Scammers Don't fall for too-good-to-be-true deals from door-to-door scammers By Crystal Staley/Kenneth Mansfield Frankfort, KY - With temperatures on the rise, Attorney General Andy Beshear is asking Kentuckians to use caution when hiring door-to-door contractors that promise too-good-to-be-true deals. Beshear says those "deals" can quickly turn into home improvement scams. Over the past two years, Beshear's office has received nearly 400 home repair scam complaints from Kentuckians in 25 counties. Fly-by-night businesses and door-to-door scam contractors take advantage of the home repair season by guaranteeing low prices and requesting upfront payment. But those contractors provide low-quality work or never complete the work, Beshear said, and sometimes demand thousands more than the agreed upon price.
