Partnership begun at Expo will benefit hungry in Adair Co., KY Partnership between Hunters for the Hungry, Showalter's Country Meats, and Lindsey Wilson College Campus Kitchen grew out of a meeting at 2018 South Central Kentucky Expo. "We are amazed at the partnerships and cooperative efforts that arise as a result of the show each year, but this one is special. Thanks to the Campus Kitchen Program at Lindsey Wilson College we will see donated venison contribute to wholesome meals made available to people here at home in Adair County. This effort is another example of how Lindsey Wilson College contributes in such a positive way to our community." - Chad Parnell Click on headline for complete story By Terry Partin Hunger is indeed a problem in our Country today. In fact one in every seven Americans are considered food insecure. Considering that we as a country waste 40 percent of our total food production each year, it is not surprising that our nation's economy suffers a $218 billion loss yearly due to improper utilization of our bountiful harvest. With a current population in excess of 327 million people there is now more than 47 million Americans who are not regularly receiving sufficient nutrition. What most do not realize is that the problem is not a foreign issue. It impacts the state of Kentucky and our local community.

James Roberts: Heavily penalize for talking/texting while driving 'Bypass & Burkesville Safety' - Signs will also help warn of dangerous intersections. And enforcement of laws is necessary to change bad driving habits, writer says By James Roberts Here is another idea for thought. Pass a local or state ordinance that would heavily penalize a person for talking or texting on their phone while driving. Put up signs especially when entering the busy parts of town to warn people not to pick up that phone! The problem is that people have lost their fear of paying a heavy fine or losing their license when they've broken the law. You've got to do something when bad habits are involved to change the thought process. A stop light or stop sign means Stop! Thanks, James Roberts. 2018-09-09 08:05:29 | Comments | Printable version | See topic Commentary
Sena M. Schaefer: Rumble strips would help at intersection Advocates for them as a first step Click on headline for complete commentary, link By Sena M Schaefer I have read all of the comments on this.

Jim Hudson: Comment on roundabout for 'Bypass & Burkesville' Comments re photo 80649 Mark Hale Solutions found in Georgia to Bypass safety problem Jim Hudson writes: Roundabouts are better suited for more urban type areas that have lower speed limits, not areas where the speed limit is 55 mph. Also, the traffic counts would be too low for a two lane roundabout. - Jim HudsonThanks, Jim Hudson - You might be right for what is, but there are those who are going beyond "What Is," to "What can be," and are thinking of lower speed limits all around, and of ways of working with a more-receptive-to-innovation Kentucky Highway Department to make changes. That seemed to be the approach at the forum held at the intersection on Wednesday, September 5, 2018, with a pragmatic "Good Sense" approach to achieve change. - EW 2018-09-09 06:32:32 | Comments | Printable version
