MCES third grader a Page at state capitol

Tucker Wilson, a Metcalfe County Elementary School third grader, was a Page in the Kentucky House of Representatives last week as the legislative body of Kentucky's government met.

While his proud grandmother, Representative Amy Neighbors, was serving in the House, he had the job of serving her and her peers as a young Page.

The Daily Pages are between the ages of 10 to 18, so Tucker was an early Page at the age of 8. Although Daily Pages generally have one House sponsor, they perform a valuable service for all representatives and staff by delivering messages, running errands, copying material, and delivering bills.

By Phillip Wood Coffey

Don't tell me we don't live in a mixed-up world
Rendering lard from a slop fed hog to make lye soap.
Getting whiplash from just quickly shifting upward
Into second gear driving a "Hot Rod Lincoln."
