Sen. Max Wise's Legislative Update - Thu 23 May 2019 Personal political commentary/opinions of the writer By State Senator Max Wise, (R-Campbellsville) 16th District: Adair, Clinton, Cumberland, McCreary, Russell, Taylor, and Wayne Counties As we look forward to cookouts, shopping, and celebrations this Memorial Day weekend, it is imperative to remember those who made the ultimate sacrifice. They are the brave men and women who fought and died while protecting our freedom, a privilege we take advantage of here in the United States. These American heroes deserve our upmost honor and respect. Collectively, I ask that we pay tribute and reflect on the true meaning of our 3-day weekend. Formerly known as Decoration Day, the last Monday in May is a time to memorialize fallen military service members. This solemn day of remembrance is often felt most deeply among those who have personally had a loved one die in service to our nation. I encourage you to join in a nationwide commemoration this Memorial Day, the "National Moment of Remembrance." I ask all Kentuckians to pause for a moment of silence at 3pm local time on Monday, May 27.

Carol Perkins: Life was more fun back then Previous Column: A Louisville Adventure with Mom By Carol Perkins When students are in the third or fourth grades, their talents are not measured by how well they can play the piano or perform in a school play. At least not in my memory. Abilities of this age group lay in much more critical areas such as whether or not a buddy could take a "lick" without yelling "uncle" or whether or not he (or she) could cross his eyes or wiggle his ears. These were more essential talents than adults would have suspected. Guy remembers around this time in school that he and a buddy waited for the teacher to turn her head, and they swapped licks.
