Maybe one of the alternatives for the folks in Louisville could be bus trips to the state parks (except Levi Jackson Wilderness Road, of course), Henderson, Morganfield or Louisa. I love bus trips, public pools and all those places, so I think that would be great.
Owensboro will be home to Kentucky's first "Family Place Library," delivering "early literacy, parent education, family support and connection to the local community."

If you want to get your week off to a depressing start, check out Thomas Capps's (excellent) report for Channel 6 on the runaround that sick former Paducah Gaseous Diffusion Plant workers are getting from the U.S. Department of Labor and its Energy Employees Occupational Illness Compensation Program.
For the moment, at least, what is said to be Kentucky's oldest continuously running fair is no more.
Bad jobs news from Elizabethtown and Raceland. Good from Leitchfield. Hiring in Hardin (I love The Brass Lantern).
I've talked before about the fantastic meeting coverage in today's journalism. Well, I'm not sure that anyone does it consistently any better than Michael Monks in The River City News. His blow-by-blow from a Bromley city-council meeting reads like a freaking Dragnet:
"Effectively at 6:45 tonight, Ludlow is going to make the next fire run?," Chief Keller asked.
"As soon as I call them," Mayor Denham said. "I'll call them shortly when I get done with this."
"OK," the chief said, with a laugh.
Just fantastic.
Spring break is over at Kentucky's public schools, and The Courier-Journal has the 411 to bring your tan-and-fine self back up to Louisville-and-environs speed.
Bowling Green's Gatton Academy of Mathematics and Science has selected the high-school sophomores who would make up its Class of 2021, and they hail from 54 of Kentucky's counties. Over its 11 years, Gatton has invited students from all but three Kentucky counties.
Groundbreaking is set for tomorrow for the Henderson County Public Library expansion ("light refreshments"!).
What's next for 112 W. Broadway in Mayfield?

"They called the jail Ricky s world .he ran that whole little town for such a long time not just the jail he had alot of influence over everyone in the town .He was like the mafia boss of Hickman or Fulton County whatever they call it ."
"'Love thy neighbor as thy self' is how I live my life and how I serve others. I have been a recipient of love and giving by many people that have crossed my path. I would not be on this same journey if it were not for the people that modeled being a servant leader. Their actions might have been small in their eyes, but were beyond generous and unforgettable to me."

Good jobs news from Harlan. Bad from Somerset.
The state treasurer has been making the rounds in western Kentucky with happy news of unclaimed property. Rejoiced the Lyon County judge-executive yesterday: "$688,000! LYON county citizens have $688,000 sitting in an account in Frankfort under the unclaimed property! KY State Treasurer Allison Ball was in Lyon yesterday and talked to us about Unclaimed Property. We asked they provide us a list of Lyon Countians that have unclaimed $$. We await that list. But in the meantime Krista Grigg in my office has already begun searching names and found many we personally know that have unclaimed money. We are contacting them now."
Simply fantastic detail from Andrew Adkins in Ashland's Daily Independent on a Raceland city-council meeting covering a controversial proposal to build a mobile-home park: "The council, in its typical style, allowed residents to speak seemingly at will, even prior to the scheduled public comment period. At one point, three local residents stood together at the podium and spoke on the same topic. The room was at high capacity. It was also noisy, as members of the crowd and council talked among themselves throughout most of the meeting and a loud air conditioner fan muffled the conversations."

Rest in peace, Scooter Davis of "Beaver 96.7," an FM radio station in Bowling Green. Per a very moving tribute by Glasgow's WCLU 1490 AM, Mr. Davis "died last week after an exhaustive battle with esophageal cancer. Radio is a very personal medium, and Scooter was a very personal friend to have on and off the air. Which is why so many of his audience truly loved him. Many classmates at Metcalfe County High School have followed his career, as have countless couples whom Scooter did their wedding reception, high school reunion dance, played a song that resulted in a couple hooking up or breaking up. Or just made the day start off in a normal way."

Oh, how I love this road:
And, oh, how I love this terrain:
This, though, is unnerving.
Jenny Smith in Madisonville's Messenger delivers a thought-provoking and heart-wrenching feature on a 94-year-old local woman from Brooklyn whose family was poor enough in the Depression that her father came to her when she was 7 and asked her to give up a bracelet her godmother had given her, to be sold for money to buy food for the family. Man, that's rough.
Sam Neace with chilling news in The Hazard Herald: No. 1 on the Centers for Disease Control’s list of U.S. counties most vulnerable to soon developing an HIV and Hepatitis C epidemic is Kentucky’s Wolfe County. No. 3 is Breathitt County. No. 4 is Perry, and No. 5 is Clay. “Out of the top 220 counties on the CDC’s list, 54 of them are located in Kentucky,” he reports.
Who lobbied Real Legislature hardest this past session?
A member of the Brass Lantern dynasty took top honors in the Kentucky Monthly recipes contest, or his "Bison with Bourbon Bacon Butter and Pickled Onions."

Rest in peace, Ed Davender, whom Jerry Tipton of the Lexington Herald-Leader describes as "arguably the most under-appreciated star player in University of Kentucky basketball history."
