Carol Perkins: Going gray Previous column: Thanksgiving preparations By Carol Perkins "Why don't you let your hair go gray?" is a question I get often, and it is tempting, but I can't let go just yet. However, the process of keeping away the gray is getting more and more tedious and occurring more often. When I see the white band around my face, much like a headband I wore in the sixties, I can visualize how pale and washed out a gray-haired "me" would look, so I keep repeating the process. Most of the time, I leave the dye job to my hairdresser, but occasionally, when I can't stand to look at myself, I'll pick out a color and do my own. Never, ever have I done so successfully. One week when he was on vacation, and I had let the roots go too long, I found a box of "touch up" color under the sink. No telling how long it had been there, but what can go wrong with a bottle of dye?

Flurry of pardons in Bevin's final weeks as governor By Daniel Desrochers, Lexington Herald Leader In four days last week, Gov. Matt Bevin signed a flurry of executive orders pardoning at least 28 Kentuckians of a range of crimes -- from sodomy and sexual abuse to trafficking of marijuana. It is common for governors to issue pardons toward the end of their term. In 2015, as former Gov. Steve Beshear was leaving office, he issued 197 pardons and commuted the sentences of six people. Former Gov. Ernie Fletcher pardoned 100 people during his four-year term. Bevin's office did not respond when asked how many requests for pardons his office has received and how many he might issue.
