Carol Perkins: I should have known better

Previous Column: Please Release Me

By Carol Perkins

"Where are we going?" he asked when I drove down the driveway and picked him up, at the spot where he had been adjusting the solar lights that were barely giving off a glow. I told him to get in and we'd take a ride. He wasn't sure where I might be going at that time of the night, but he cooperated. "Where are we going?" he asked again.

"I want an iced tea. McDonald's," I said. At seven o'clock, I had to get out of the house. For the past few days, I hadn't been able to walk like an average person but ambled with my right side halfway to my knee. Limp, Limp, Limp. Pain galore. My nerves were edging toward ugly, and I needed an iced tea.

To explain the source of my back pain, hip pain, and ongoing knee problems, although the knee has improved, I admit to doing something idiotic.

By Sean Southard

Frankfort, KY - As part of its ongoing effort to support international trade, the Kentucky Department of Agriculture is sponsoring the World Trade Center of Kentucky's (WTC-KY) eleVate Women's Breaking Barriers Conference, Agriculture Commissioner Dr. Ryan Quarles has announced.

"Women make up about 35 percent of Kentucky's agricultural producers according to the latest agricultural census conducted by the National Agricultural Statistics Service," Commissioner Quarles said. "We need to make sure that we are investing in female agricultural leaders on and off the farm. That's why the Kentucky Department of Agriculture's strong Kentucky Proud brand is continuing our support of the World Trade Center of Kentucky through its second annual eleVate conference."

With many foreign countries looking to the United States for agricultural goods, women-owned businesses stand to benefit from sales in the global marketplace. The eleVate conference provides information, tools, and resources for women business leaders to position themselves in the international market.

The virtual conference will be Oct. 6, 13, and 20, 2020, from 10amCT to 1pmCT. Conference speakers include Kentucky Lieutenant Governor Jacqueline Coleman, University of Louisville president Dr. Neeli Bendapudi, Alltech Chief of Staff Susanna Elliot, and others.

Letter: Copperhead control at its finest, too

Marie Freeman writes:
Rat snakes and king snakes are probably one of the best things we can have for our area. Both are great rodent control....and keepIng the venomous snakes in check. I try to live with all creatures but some I don't want in my nest, those are venomous snakes, and rodents! And of course the terrible ticks, rodent control keeps the ticks under control.
