Hello all you NIPFO’s out there. Yup, I’m speaking to the farmers. The acronym stands for Non Industrial Private Forest Owners. According to the UK Cooperative Extension Service, 89 percent of Kentucky’s timberland is owned by you.  
Cutting timber is often a once in a lifetime project and so I thought a few pointers might help. When you decide to cut the timber find out what is in “your account” by calling the Bluegrass District Office in Frankfort.

To the editor:
America has reached a tipping point.  Not only has the federal government grown in spending but in its reach to state and local governments.  
The federal government now dominates activity that was traditionally reserved to the states, leaving little or no room for state-level innovation in policy areas such as education, transportation, health care, welfare and even law enforcement. They have so grossly expanded public-sector debt that, as of today, each and every man, woman and child carries a debt burden of over $45,000.

While the decorations have been put up for another year and the holiday season fades into memory, Sunrise Children’s Services would like to take a moment to thank those who made this a wonderful Christmas for the children in our care.

Today, while stopping at Ken’s to pick up a turkey, I accidentally laid my keys down, along with my telephone and stepped out, hitting the lock as I did.
After saying to myself that everyone I could call was unavailable at the time, I looked up and a young city police officer drove up. I flagged him down and he immediately got help for me. He was so polite and nice.
A few minutes later, two wonderful people from the fire department came and got my door open. As I am an older person, it meant so much to me. I was so thankful.
