Daily News for Thursday, May 5, 2022
Reminder: Slow down, move over for emergency vehicles Frankfort, KY - In an effort to protect those who protect us, the Kentucky Office of Highway Safety (KOHS) is joining the Kentucky State Police (KSP) and the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) to promote the "Slow Down and Move Over" message to Kentucky drivers. "Every day on our roadways, emergency responders and public safety personnel put their lives at risk to protect the citizens of the commonwealth," said Governor Andy Beshear. "Slowing down and moving over is something we owe these dedicated professionals who provide a valuable, and often dangerous, public service." Kentucky passed its Move Over law in 2003 requiring motorists to move over to the adjacent lane when approaching an emergency vehicle or public safety vehicle with flashing lights (KRS 189.930). If changing lanes is impossible or unsafe, motorists must slow down and use caution. Failure to do so can result in fines, jail time or both (KRS 189.993 (8)).

Clay Hill cleanup continues following December tornado By Gerard Flanagan Campbellsville, KY - A drive past Clay Hill Memorial Forest would seem to indicate the area is relatively unchanged since a devastating December tornado swept through, uprooting large amounts of trees and closing Clay Hill's nearly five miles of hiking trails. But, behind the scenes and out of sight, a great deal of work has been done to clean up the damage, according to Jonathan Moore, director of Clay Hill Memorial Forest. "Just before Christmas I met with our Advisory Board to discuss how to address the tornado disturbance to the forest," Moore said. "We discussed baseline principles for approaching management and then discussed management options." Moore said Clay Hill Memorial Forest's approach "might be quite different" from the approach a private landowner would take.
