KSP Post 15 welcomes Jessica Andrew

From Trooper Jonathan Houk

The Kentucky State Police (KSP) announced 14 telecommunicators, representing eight posts across the commonwealth, have graduated from the KSP Telecommunications Academy and are ready to begin answering the call for assistance to both citizens and law enforcement throughout the commonwealth.

The Post 15 graduate of the 21st KSP Telecommunications Academy was Jessica S. Andrew, of Adair County. Andrew is a graduate of Russell County High School. She is the daughter of Carrie and Calvin Burton.

After each class, the 'Charlotte Tanner Valedictorian' Award is presented to the graduate who earned the highest-class GPA and demonstrated extraordinary effort during the KSP Telecommunications Academy. The award is named in honor of the founder of the KSP telecommunications program, Charlotte Tanner, who served the commonwealth for more than 50 years as a telecommunicator, radio room supervisor, and instructor.

This year's Charlotte Tanner Valedictorian Award has been awarded to Jessica Andrew, with a grade point average of 96%.

Legislative update from Rep. Amy Neighbors

From Laura Leigh Goins

Lawmakers will reconvene for the remaining 26 days of the 2023 Regular Session in just a few days. Because this is an odd-year session, the legislature only meets for a total of 30 days, half the time devoted to session in even-numbered years. While also attending legislative meetings through this brief recess, I had the opportunity to meet with several of my legislative colleagues from the western region of the state to hear about new opportunities at Western Kentucky University. Because of expansions through several premiere industrial leaders such as Houchens Industries, and the campuses Innovation Commercialization Center, students are able to take advantage of the cutting edge in learning, as well as be presented with job opportunities not far from where they received their education.

Without major issues like a budget, redistricting, or the pandemic on the agenda, the Kentucky House of Representatives will have an opportunity to focus on existing programs with an eye towards ensuring the state's resources are used as effectively as possible. The House has 20 committees that meet during the session. Called "standing committees," these groups are tasked with individual subject areas and allow lawmakers a chance to focus on topics like transportation, education, health services, families and children. Legislation must first clear the appropriate committees before it can be considered on the House Floor.

More than 200 bills have already been filed this session. Some of the topics include those already being considered by House Standing Committees and include:

Atwood speaks on life's choices at CU Chapel

By Avary Randall

Campbellsville, KY - Matt Atwood, assistant football coach and leader of the Fellowship of Christian Athletes (FCA) at Campbellsville University, spoke at Ransdell Chapel recently about the importance of choices in life.

Atwood asked if any of us ever woke up in a bad mood.

"If so, are you going to stay that way, or can starting the day be a thankful opportunity to be alive?" he asked. "How many of you woke up and said, 'I am so thankful I get to live today? I am so happy I get to live this moment.'"
