Daily News for Monday, September 14, 2020
Endangered mussels released in Green River Kentucky Department of Fish and Wildlife Frankfort, KY - In conjunction with the National Park Service, the Kentucky Department of Fish and Wildlife Resources earlier this month stocked about 1,200 individual mussels into the Green River within Mammoth Cave National Park in southcentral Kentucky, in order to restore a federally-listed endangered species historically found in waters of the commonwealth. Freshwater mussels purify water naturally, providing a vital ecological service. Mussels filter water as they feed, removing sediments and chemical pollutants from the water, thus improving living conditions for people as well as other wildlife species. The rayed bean, a species of freshwater mussel, has not been found in Kentucky waters in more than four decades. The mussels for this restoration effort were moved from the Allegheny River in Pennsylvania because of a tar spill. In return, the Center for Mollusk Conservation in Frankfort will be sharing a different species of mussel with Pennsylvania for additional research next spring. Kentucky Fish and Wildlife founded the center in 2002, and it is one of the world's foremost facilities for restoring and recovering rare and imperiled freshwater mussels. Another 1,200 individuals of the same mussel species were placed in the Green River upstream of the national park.

KYTC: Drivers reminded to slow down in work zones By Chuck Wolfe Frankfort, KY - - As highway construction continues into the fall across the Commonwealth, motorists can expect to see orange cones and flashing lights in work zones. The Kentucky Transportation Cabinet (KYTC) is driving attention to Kentucky's Work Zone Awareness Week (KYWZAW) - Sept. 13-18 - to encourage motorists to take a vested interest in work zone safety by slowing down and driving without distractions in active work zones. Work zones are high-risk sites for work crews, but the safety of drivers and their passengers is also on the line. The number of work zone fatalities increased from three in 2018 to eight in 2019. Two of the victims were crew workers. The number of work zone crashes rose 20 percent from 1,042 in 2018 to 1,251 in 2019.

Commentary: Broadband access is essential By Congressman James Comer U.S. Representative, 1st District of Kentucky The COVID-19 pandemic has brought about abrupt technological changes to our society. 2020 has been defined by students completing class assignments at home, adults performing day-to-day tasks from their kitchen tables, and the virtual meetings that have become common to many of us. Unfortunately, the shift to a complete reliance on internet access in the age of Covid has accelerated the digital divide in America. Rural areas continue to lag other parts of the country when it comes to access to reliable internet connection. And while this shift has certainly become more recognizable in the age of teleworking and learning from home, it is nothing new. This timely issue is one that myself and numerous other stakeholders recently addressed on a virtual roundtable convened by my office.

The woes of lack of matrimony in Adair County, 1904 By Mike Watson Mr. J.C. Calhoun was in our office one day last week and while speaking of his section incidentally mentioned the fact that within a radius of two and one-half miles from Milltown there were nine widowers. This is rather remarkable and yet that section is noted for good, kind husbands. If there is any other locality with more lonely men in it, Mr. Calhoun would like to know it and the cause for same.--Adair County News, 11 May 1904 An item in last week's News in which Mr. J.C. Calhoun states that there are nine widowers within a radius of two and one half miles of Milltown, and his wish to know if there are other localities with more lonely men in it, and the cause for the same, induces me to mention that in the Goose Creek Valley, a small creek emptying into Green River at Dunnville, Casey County, there are no less than thirteen lonely widows, within three miles of Dunnville. The reason for this is that Mr. Calhoun's lonely widowers or some other fairly eligible widowers or bachelors do not come around and offer to dispel their loneliness.
