Kentucky Color: An Inspiration

By Billy Joe Fudge

This ol' White oak is an inspiration to all of us who are suffering much damage and injury from the battles that we must fight in life.

Life is not for the faint of heart because survival and victory often demand a dogged determination to not be deterred in our efforts to stay the course.

By far this is the largest diameter tree I've ever measured at 75 inches. That translates to nearly 20 feet in circumference which would require more than three average adults to reach around. Amazingly, if it was solid as it stands, it would saw out over 6,000 board feet of lumber which would be enough to build a 1,000 square foot home.

It stands in Green County near Taylor County between Meadow Creek and Little Meadow Creek. It's age is a matter of guessing more than estimating but I would suspect that it is over 400 years old.

May is Better Hearing and Speech Month

By Kim Saylor Brannock

Frankfort, KY - With more than 700,000 people in Kentucky experiencing some degree of hearing loss while also dealing with the COVID-19 pandemic the past two years, businesses, organizations and community leaders are coming together to promote inclusivity.

"Better Hearing and Speech Month, Connecting People" in May is the perfect time for the Kentucky Commission on the Deaf and Hard of Hearing (KCDHH) to not only remind people of the importance of hearing health, the signs of hearing loss and resources available, but also to assist in connecting with people.

"Communication is fundamental, and people with communication difficulties should have access to communication support and resources when they need them," said Gov. Andy Beshear. "During Better Speech and Hearing Month, KCDHH continues to teach us the importance of inclusion so that we can communicate with all Kentuckians."
