Daily News for Saturday, September 23, 2023
Columbia and Adair Co.: buzzing and booming, September 1902 By JIM When September 1902 turned the corner of mid-month and began the march toward October, commerce boomed in town, and Columbia and Adair County buzzed with excitement a-plenty. An ordinance in the September 24 News announced that on October 9th, the city of Columbia would sell franchise rights "to construct, maintain, and operate an electric light plant" within the city limits. (Mr. W.R. Myers installed Columbia's first electric plant in 1904.) Another ordinance announced that also on that date, franchise rights would also be sold for the much-discussed, much ballyhooed electric interurban train line. At the same time, Mr. James T. Page was having a room in his Campbellsville Street building [possibly referring to the Campbellsville Street-facing side of the Creel Building on the exit corner of the square] fitted up as office for Rev. W.K. Azbill, the promoter of and the prime moving force behind the interurban proposal. And, to round out the trifecta, the annual meeting of the Louisville Conference, M.E.C., S. would start in about a week, with the Educational Board to meet on September 30th "to determine what will be done in regard to locating a school of high grade in this district." (Almost exactly 14 months later, the Lindsey Wilson Training School opened its doors.)

Governor announces Jobs on Day One initiative From Crystal Staley/Scottie Ellis/Morgan Hall Frankfort, KY - Furthering his commitment to boost workforce participation and create a safer Kentucky, Gov. Andy Beshear joined members of the Kentucky State Building and Construction Trades Council on Sept. 21, 2023, to launch the Jobs on Day One initiative, which aims to help released inmates have a job when they leave incarceration. The new initiative helps former inmates become strong candidates for Kentucky's fast-paced labor market through the development of job skills and attainment of certifications while providing educational opportunities and treatment services. Jobs on Day One also builds upon the administration's commitment to reentry services, which have helped the state secure the lowest recidivism rate in history.
