Thank you to Wally Grant of CAUD By Ben Arnold Thank you Wally Grant and the Columbia/Adair Co Water District for such timely response to restore my water. It is easy to take our utilities for granted until we lose them. During this hard freeze, I lost water with guests arriving. My call to CAUD produced a response above any reasonable expectation. Wally arrived at my door after dark in that very cold and proceeded to fix my problem. Thank you, Wally. 2024-01-23 15:16:58 | Comments | Printable version
Letter: Through trucks should be ticketed Comments re: Last vestige of wings is gone From Cynthia A. Meyer From what the General Manager of the Campbellsville, KY Amazon facility told me, the drivers are not Amazon associates, nor does Amazon own the semis, but Amazon does own the trailers. Each trailer has a number, and should anyone spot unsafe driving, they can get the number from the trailer and report it. While coming home from Amazon at night following Amazon Prime trailers, I got the number of a trailer whose driver was in excess of the speed limit (I would not try to keep up after my speedometer hit 70 mph). I reported the trailer numbers to the GM as instructed. He gave me a song that Fred Astaire himself could not have danced to! Needless to say, trucks still drive in excess of speed limits.

Adams recommends Civics Education requirement From Michon Lindstrom Frankfort, KY - Secretary of State Michael Adams has released the Secretary of State's 2023 Civic Health Assessment. The sweeping report looked at how Kentucky fares in three topics: civic knowledge, social civics and polarization. Overall, Kentucky received a C. "Based off our findings, I am recommending to the General Assembly that we require a civics education course in high school, and require a more robust civics exam to graduate. These changes could not only increase civic participation and literacy, but could also set students up for success in other areas." Knowledge Kentuckians are generally more knowledgeable than the average American on civics. For example, Kentuckians are twice as likely as the average American to be able to name the three branches of government and one of their state legislators. Despite that, the number of Kentuckians that can do so is still inadequate. The Civic Health Assessment found that just half of Kentuckians surveyed could name the three branches of government and just 49 percent could name a local elected official. Overall, Kentucky received a C on civic knowledge. Article continues... click title or click here to read whole article. 2024-01-23 09:26:13 | Comments | Printable version | See topic Politics
