Letter: Black Balloon Day Donna Rieder writes: I can understand the need to express and hold dear the memories of lost precious family members, but the article was very concerning to me. In light of all the plastic pollution that ends up in the ocean, and often in the bellies of marine animals, I sincerely hope that all those balloons won't be released into the sky. Aside from the negative effects from pollution, I feel like that would be a slap in the face for those of us who truly care about our wonderful and amazing planet.Comments re: March 6 is Black Balloon Day in Columbia 2023-02-28 18:00:49 | Comments | Printable version | See topic Letters and Reader Feedback

Bill addressing student discipline advances from Committee From Jordan Hensley, LRC Frankfort, KY - Lawmakers began to take the next step in addressing Kentucky's teacher shortage during Tuesday's House Education Committee meeting.
