Carol Perkins: Gift-giving traditions Previous Column: Santa Stories By Carol Perkins One year when our grandchildren were small, the gifts under the tree were piled to the lowest branch and then beyond. I was beyond crazy, but I was not alone and will never be. One of my good friends is a grandmother of two small girls, so for all holidays and other special occasions, she admits going overboard with her gifts. When she racked up fourteen for each this Christmas, she realized (with the reminder from her son) that she needed to back off. She wasn't the only one who bought for the children, so they were often overwhelmed. As long as children are under the age of ten, we can shower them with "things," and they are happy even with the empty boxes. After the age of ten, we don't waste our money. If they don't pick out what they want or make a list, we might as well stand on the sidewalk and pass out ten-dollar bills.

Beshear appoints all new KY Board of Education By Jack Brammer and Valarie Honeycutt Spears, Lexington Herald-Leader Gov. Andy Beshear signed an executive order Tuesday in his first day in office to create a new state school board. He said in the order that the current board has conflicting relationships, a lack of experience in education and did not conduct a nationwide search in 2018 when it hired current commissioner Wayne Lewis. Beshear named David Karem, a former lawmaker and state board member, as temporary chairman of the new board. Shortly after the announcement, 10 of the old board members said they will file a lawsuit Tuesday against Beshear's actions, challenging his attempt to remove them before their terms expire.
