Kinetic to offer fiber internet in Campbellsville

Campbellsville, KY - Some 6,100 homes and businesses in Campbellsville and surrounding parts of Taylor County will, for the first time, be equipped for high-speed fiber internet, network provider Kinetic and government officials announced recently.

Kinetic officials say the company plans to lay nearly 80 miles of underground optical fiber cable to bring high-speed internet to the county. The project is expected to be completed by March 2023.

Wednesday's announcement followed a county Fiscal Court presentation by Kinetic officials before County Judge-Executive Barry T. Smith and the court's six magistrates Tuesday night, October 11, 2022.

Carol Perkins: See the World

Previous Column: Sewing Teddy Bears for OCC

By Carol Perkins

"I hope I see Switzerland and Greece one day," I said to Guy. His reply was "Why?" I replied, "Why what?" He replied, "Why do you think you won't?" I replied, "Because I'm getting long in the tooth." His reply, "People our age are the ones going on these trips." I then had hope.

Traveling is what I like to do, but it has become a hassle. Getting through an airport, fighting the crowds, sitting scrunched up for several hours with my knees to my neck are expected with air travel. However, destination driving is also tiresome. Fighting construction, trucks, barriers, and narrow lanes bring on "nerves." Even with all this, I like driving trips because I can pick out places to stop along the way and eat at unfamiliar restaurants.

This brings me to our latest trip to South Carolina to visit Guy's sister, Carolyn Berry.

Letter: Memories of 1956 Buick Special

Charles Marshburn writes:
This is a 1956 Buick just like the one I learned to drive in! It had stick shift on the column. That car must have had at least 500,00 miles on it because my dad bought it new and my family owned it for years. We all loved the car. Great memory!
