Letter: Don't forget to check on cemetery flowers James Roberts writes: It's probably not a high priority for most people considering the storms we had last night, but just a reminder of all the loose/damaged cemetery flowers at some of the local cemeteries. 2025-05-17 15:31:40 | Comments | Printable version

Travel: Utah...Again! 2025 By Robert Ellis Some might say I have a fascination of Utah, and they would be right! I believe this is our sixth time visiting that diverse state. It is a nature lover's, hiker's, and photographer's dream destination. This return trip included plans for riding e-bikes through Zion National Park and hiking the Overlook Trail (if we could score a parking spot) at the top of Zion Park. This was our 4th visit to Zion. Twice with other family members, once separately, and one other time with another couple. On the last “separately” trip, e-bikes had crossed our mind, but it didn’t happen. This trip it was planned for. Upon leaving the park we planned to travel North towards Bryce Canyon National Park. The next morning, having overnighted in Panguitch, Utah, we were scheduled to visit Kodachrome State Park, then Willis Creek Slot Canyon and afterwards Bryce Canyon. The last stop for the evening would be Cedar Breaks National Monument, since it was on the way to our hotel at Cedar City, Utah. The next morning the itinerary was altered from the "Vortex or Candy Cliffs" in Utah to visiting Valley of Fire in Nevada. The last night of our trip ended overnighting in Vegas. We'll be posting photos from Robert's latest trip over the next few days. Bookmarke the headline to this article to view them all in one place. 2025-05-17 12:47:48 | Comments | Printable version

Carol Perkins: Help me make it through the night Previous Column: Blindsided By Carol Perkins I sometimes avoid going to bed because of my dreams. They are never good ones that make me feel better when I get up. Instead, I can't shake them. Most involve people who have passed. We are always looking for something or in a rush to get somewhere. If there were a pill to stop dreams, I'd order a truckload. Focusing on the past has never been part of my make-up, yet these dreams bring the past to me. Maybe there is something I need to correct, but with a wagon bed of the dead? If I could find a counselor to unload my dreams on, I would hire him/her. I have been avoiding eating, drinking, and watching anything mind-boggling before I go to bed, but nothing helps. If I were like Guy, I would never dream. What a blessing. Not only do I avoid going to bed, but I also postpone getting up/staying up.

KYTC: Extensive damage in Somerset Somerset, KY - Crews with the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet (KYTC) District 8 are actively working in multiple areas following a powerful storm system that swept through portions of the district overnight Friday. Maintenance crews worked through the night and continue to operate today to remove downed trees, clear debris, and address other hazards impacting roadways. In Pulaski County, damage is extensive--particularly on the south side of Somerset--where crews are encountering numerous downed power lines and fallen trees. KYTC crews are working alongside first responders and utility companies to clear roadways and restore access to these areas as quickly and safely as possible. The KYTC traffic signal crew is also responding to widespread damage. Technicians are prioritizing signal repairs where power is available. However, several signals remain out due to power outages. These will be addressed as utility services are restored. At this time, signals #19 through #25 on U.S. 27 in Somerset are inoperable, and some may remain out for days or even weeks. Motorists are reminded to treat intersections without functioning signals as four-way stops and proceed with extreme caution. 2025-05-17 10:21:37 | Comments | Printable version
