ACHS provides warm, safe place for Treats on the Town By Ellen Zornes The Chamber of Commerce would like to thank everyone involved for the success of Treats on the Town Halloween night! It would not have been possible without Debbie Selby for all her work in getting it together, Principal Troy Young, Supt. Pamela Stephens and Asst. Principal Chad Parnell. And of course our wonderful businesses and community organizations for supplying lots of candy and the approximately 1,500 trick or treaters and their parents. It was so nice to be in a dry, warm place for Halloween. 2019-10-31 20:42:56 | Comments | Printable version

Fall Back Driving Tips for end of Daylight Saving Time By Lynda Lambert/Erin G. Eggen Frankfort, KY - With the end of daylight saving time this weekend, motorists will be presented with challenges during their commutes that could impact pedestrian safety. AAA East Central and the Kentucky Office of Highway Safety (KOHS) recommend motorists and pedestrians make changes in their daily habits to adjust to reduced visibility caused by sun glare in the morning, and earlier darkness in the evening. "While the extra hour of sleep may be nice, the time change can be deadly for pedestrians," said Theresa Podguski, director of legislative affairs, AAA East Central. "Twilight is one of the most challenging times of the day to drive, so extra precautions can go a long way in the weeks ahead."

Defend against Chronic Wasting Disease this fall Kentucky Department of Fish and Wildlife Frankfort, KY - As hunters return to the woods and fields for the fall seasons, the Kentucky Department of Fish and Wildlife Resources is increasing its efforts to monitor the state for chronic wasting disease (CWD) at the same time. Seventeen years ago, the department recognized an encroaching threat to Kentucky's deer and elk herds and took steps to prevent the spread of CWD to the state. Now, in 2019, the agency is calling on hunters to be the next line of defense. Chronic wasting disease, the always-fatal neurological disease that affects deer, elk, moose and caribou, has spread to more than half of the states in the U.S. since its discovery in the late 1960s in Colorado. It has never been detected in Kentucky but virtually surrounds it. Six of the seven bordering states have CWD.
