Mike Bosela: There is a gingko on LWC campus Michael Bosela writes: There is a Ginkgo tree on campus, but it is relatively young and is probably not the same one that you remember. In fact, I am not even sure if it is mature yet, but it is probably a male tree. The fleshy seeds of female trees are interesting botanically but they can be messy and smelly (at least per the fragrance preferences of most Americans). --Michael BoselaComments re photo 73283 Lindsey Wilson College on a perfect day 19 Jun 2017 2017-07-28 10:39:49 | Comments | Printable version

Opinion: Beware The Skimmer when buying gas By Ryan Quarles Kentucky Commissioner of Agriculture Frankfort, KY - Summer is a great time to make memories with family and friends. Whether you are spending your summer out on the farm, driving to your local ice cream shop, or hitting the road for a vacation, Kentuckians should be on the lookout for preying credit card skimmers seeking to steal sensitive information while you fill up your gas tank. The information obtained from a skimmer can result in hundreds of fraudulent charges over a single weekend. That's why, prior to the Fourth of July holiday, I encouraged Kentuckians to be aware of this threat to their pocketbooks. Kentucky Department of Agriculture (KDA) fuel pump inspectors already have removed four skimmers at gas pumps this summer.
