Carol Perkins: Friends and Family Weekend Previous Column: Words Matter By Carol Perkins Our grandson JC is attending UT Martin in Martin, Tennessee, and we visited for Friends and Family Weekend. He plays trombone in the marching band, so we saw their halftime performance and the first half of the football game. The band was impressive, and the Skyhawks won their game. After the game, we ate at a local restaurant called Grind. The servers dressed up for Halloween. "Guess you wonder why I'm wearing deer antlers for Halloween," our server said. She explained that when she was waiting on customers at the same table where we were sitting, directly in front of a picture window, a deer lunged through the glass, jumped over tables, and threw the customers and staff into survival mode. Thanks to YouTube and security cameras, Grind made national news, and now everyone can see the famous "deer through the window" video. (Go to YouTube to find Grind restaurant/deer.) Interesting. JC drove us through campus and then to his dorm/apartment. What a difference time has made in the living conditions on campus.

Letter: Letters about the town Square... By Kenneth Kirk Former GIS/GPS Manager As a resident of only just over a year, I've seen many letters complaining about the trucks using the town square as opposed to the bypass. Whether people realize this or not, truck drivers use GPS in the same way we do. And unfortunately, the nature of the GPS is to find the shortest/fastest route between two points. There is actually about a mile and a half more in distance to take the bypass than go through the square, hence why trucks go through town. How to fix this? As someone who used to work in this field, I know that the GPS uses digital data to display roads similar to those used in Google Maps. These "Roads" are only lines, true. However, these lines not only carry information for the GPS such as speed, distance, name, some roads utilize a control called impedance or hindrance. Some of these might be one way routes, others dictate weight restrictions on routes. In our case we need to have the town square listed as "For deliveries only", which would allow trucks that actually need to access downtown for business but all other trucks would be guided along the bypass. As I worked in this area, I took the liberty to contact the State Cabinet of Transportation to ask about how to get this situation addressed. I was just contacted by Mr. E. Scott, who informed me that the vast majority of vendors or consumers of digital data have been updated with the "For deliveries only" restriction on the downtown segments as has the Kentucky Trucking Association Network. While he does not know how long it will take for the information to be fully disseminated across the entire truck drivers "world", we know that the information is now out and at some point the traffic should diminish. 2024-10-31 09:34:04 | Comments | Printable version | See topic Letters and Reader Feedback
