Video: Kentucky's Bat Bridge A Kentucky bridge with flaking concrete, large cracks, and exposed, rusted steel was a growing safety concern for the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet (KYTC) and also home for thousands of endangered gray bats. Overcoming the infrastructure and environmental dilemma, a KYTC project team designed a bat-friendly bridge that has proven to be a successful habitat for the species and safe connection for local motorists. KYTC will continue to monitor the bridge for bat activity over the next five years. To prevent interference with the bat habitat, KYTC is not releasing the location of the bridge. It is a two-lane, concrete box beam bridge carrying a state highway in a rural area. 2021-09-29 09:07:17 | Comments | Printable version
Tommy Druen: Pushing civic education Previous Column: A dash of family history By Tommy Druen Do you know how many states must ratify a proposed amendment to the United States Constitution before it can take effect? Or what qualifications a person must have to be nominated as a justice of the Supreme Court? How about who serves as president in the case of a vacancy of that office, the vice-president and the Speaker of the House? If you are unsure, you need not feel alone. A recent survey by the Annenberg Public Policy Center of the University of Pennsylvania showed that only 26% of Americans polled could correctly name the three branches of our federal government. And more than 40% polled could not even name the current vice-president! The United States is suffering a crisis when it comes to civic education. As we have moved through the post-modern era, our educational priorities have shifted. And while there is absolutely nothing wrong with an enhanced focus on early childhood literacy and STEM education, it has become obvious that civics has become the unintentional casualty.
