Lawmakers hear about hemp industry challenges By Rebecca Hanchett Frankfort, KY - Six years ago, the Kentucky General Assembly created a framework for production of industrial hemp. Now the state is a hemp production leader, with around 26,000 acres planted this year alone. But the growth of hemp and hemp processing in Kentucky under 2013 SB 50 and the 2014 U.S. Farm Bill has presented what Kentucky Agriculture Commissioner Ryan Quarles calls "growing pains," with farmers and processors facing some uncertainty from both federal regulators and financial lenders. Although the federal government no longer classifies hemp - a type of cannabis plant--as a controlled substance under federal law, it still regulates the sale of cannabis and cannabis-derived products such as the increasingly popular CBD (or cannabidiol).

Buckle up, put phones down to increase roadway safety Kentucky Office of Highway Safety launches new campaign to reduce crashes, fatalities By Erin Eggen/Naitore Djigbenou Frankfort, KY - The Kentucky Office of Highway Safety (KOHS) is driving home a safety message to motorists aimed at preventing crashes by encouraging two life-saving actions behind the wheel- buckling up and putting down the phone. Launching today, the state's first Buckle Up Phone Down campaign features videos, radio spots, digital advertising and a new dedicated website, kyhighwaysafety.com, to promote the initiative. "The campaign offers compelling stories from credible sources urging drivers to buckle up and put the phone down," said KOHS Acting Director Jason Siwula. "We believe that if all drivers practice these two, simple behaviors, we will see a dramatic reduction in fatalities and injuries on our roadways." According to KOHS, each year in Kentucky, distracted driving results in more than 50,000 crashes, more than 15,000 injuries and approximately 200 deaths. Distracted driving behaviors, like texting, emailing and talking, are discouraged and drivers are advised to not interact with their phone.

Letter: Remembering Hunter Durham Doug McCammish writes: Most everyone in Adair County and a big part of Kentucky will have Hunter Durham stories. Hunter had dozens or hundreds of them himself. I only knew him for 18 years and still can probably tell a "few." Just bring up Yellowstone National Park, for instance, or his uncle in Alabama or the older couple who lived in the country and taught the "townie" how to fish or his time as a basketball manager at UK under Coach Rupp.Comments re article 106612 Hunter Durham 78 Adair County KY 19412019 2019-10-07 09:16:12 | Comments | Printable version | See topic Letters and Reader Feedback
