KY Fire Marshal promotes Campus Fire Safety Month By Krista Locke Frankfort, KY - The Kentucky State Fire Marshal urges parents and college students to pause this September during Campus Fire Safety Month to implement fire prevention strategies for off-campus student housing. Since fire fatalities most often occur in buildings with disabled fire safety systems, Haney recommends that students regularly change batteries in existing smoke detectors and ensure a detector is installed on each floor and each bedroom. Students should also plan two escape routes from bedrooms, and purchase an escape ladder if necessary. Because cooking is the leading cause of home fires, Haney encourages students to have stoves inspected, to be alert and remain in the kitchen while cooking. Appliances can also pose a risk. Inspecting appliances and avoiding use of numerous extension cords reduces the risk of off campus living fires.

Letter: Two ee's in Fee Vonnie Kolbenschlag writes: This is a great photo Linda, but according to the church sign, the name is spelled Fee - two ee's and I think that is to honor John G. Fee, an abolitionist, educator and minister. He deserves to be remembered! Whoever built the church and named it, I think, meant for Fee to be remembered, and Fe does not do that. One of his accomplishments was educating black soldiers and their families at Camp Nelson during the Civil War where many of the soldiers were from central Kentucky. That's how I think people who named the church knew about Fee (soldiers passed along the stories) and the many ways Fee worked to do away with slavery. I think Fee's belief of equality for all people was passed down to those who built the church and chose Fee's name to honor him.Comments re photo 85289 Santa Fe Baptist Church recruiting its family back Article continues... click title or click here to read whole article. 2019-09-30 20:21:40 | Comments | Printable version | See topic Letters and Reader Feedback

KYTC launches new online portal for permit requests The new system features real-time, intelligent routing and auto-issuance, designed to be more efficient for overweight/over-dimensional permit requests By Jordan Smith Frankfort, KY - The Kentucky Transportation Cabinet (KYTC) launched a new online system today for issuing travel permits for overweight/over-dimensional (OW/OD) vehicle drivers. Using verified, real-time data, the program provides intelligent routing based on road closures, vehicle weight, and vehicle dimensions. It also features automated issuance for common permit types distributed by the Cabinet. "By moving the majority of the process online, we're making it simple for OW/OD drivers to travel on Kentucky roadways," said Department of Vehicle Regulation Commissioner Matt Henderson. "Now, almost every permit can be issued instantly from your computer at work or home, 24/7/365. We're cutting red tape to make the permitting process more efficient for staff and more convenient for customers to haul everything from oversize equipment to boats." Additional upgrades include the ability for users to check the status of their application with real-time updates, electronic payment options, and online renewals for annual permits. Current system users will be redirected from the old website and required to register in the new system. KYTC will no longer accept applications via fax or email.

Cause of the blaze was undetermined. It apparently started sometime during the night and was still burning early the following morning. There was no insurance on the building. Since this is one of the grade schools that will be replaced by the grade centers to be constructed in the future, the building will not be replaced.
