REAL ID deadline just 6 months away From Naitore Djigbenou/Mark Howell/Lauren Simmerman Lexington, KY - In just six months, every Kentuckian 18 years of age or older will need a REAL ID or another acceptable form of identification to travel domestically and access certain federal facilities, including military bases. To apply for a REAL ID driver's license, permit or ID card, individuals must visit a Driver Licensing Regional Office and present one proof of identity, one proof of social security, and two proofs of residency. This requirement is part of the federal REAL ID Act, which aims to establish minimum security standards for state-issued identification documents. "As we near the REAL ID enforcement date, Team Kentucky wants to encourage Kentuckians to gather the necessary documents and apply early," said Kentucky Transportation Cabinet Secretary Jim Gray. "Even if you rarely fly, having a REAL ID helps keep your options open should you need to travel by air within the U.S. or visit a military base after enforcement begins on May 7, 2025." Kentucky residents can renew their license up to six months before the expiration date. Those ineligible for renewal can upgrade to a REAL ID for $15 while retaining their current expiration date. REAL ID licenses are available for $24 for four-year and $48 for eight-year credentials. A standard, non-compliant four-year license is $21.50, while an eight-year license costs $43.

Tommy Druen: Dedication to the Journey Previous Column: A battle that can never be fully won By Tommy Druen When faced with the remnants of a hurricane, Utah probably isn't the first place that comes to mind. Yet, during a challenging drive home last month, that's exactly where my thoughts went, reminding me that life's journeys often lead to unexpected places. On a late September Friday, I had a meeting in Lexington. After it ended, I began my usual 25-to-30-minute commute back home. But that day, my drive coincided with the arrival of Hurricane Helene in Kentucky, the most powerful storm to reach the U.S. mainland since Katrina in 2005. As I merged onto I-75, the rain intensified, and I soon found myself at a standstill. I managed to get off at an exit, hoping to navigate the backroads. However, every time I thought I'd found a clear route, a fallen tree blocked the way. After my fifth detour, thanks to having four-wheel drive and the nerve to cut through a field, I finally made it home--two hours later. So where does Utah come into this? As I inched along the roads, I heard the story of Mark Eaton, the 7'4" center who played 12 seasons with the Utah Jazz.

Whitehurst Diaries: Naming The Trees By Sharon Whitehurst It is largely due to my Grampa Mac that I can identify the most common trees--maple, oak, shag-bark hickory, white birch, beech. These were the species that grew in the woods and along the hedgerows in my native Vermont. When it comes to more specific recognition--white oak, red oak, sugar maple, soft/swamp maple--I falter. I came to know individual trees; the towering ancient maples that stood either side of the gravel driveway at Grampa's farm next door, trees from which dangled swings made with stout rope and sturdy plank seats.
