The story behind crape myrtles...

Remember when Lewis Carroll’s Walrus said to the Carpenter, “We will talk of many things . . . of cabbages and kings?”
If you don’t, it is a delightful poem you might like to read to your children or grandchildren or anyone under the age of 50.
But to get to the point, my mind was racing this morning with possible subjects for our visit. So instead of doing the journalistic thing and sticking to one subject, let’s look at several.

Medical emergencies can happen anywhere and at any time. That sobering thought is what prompted Michael Thrun, Site EHS and Sustainability Manager at 3M, to send five 3M employees to an EMT course at the Licking Valley Campus of Maysville Community & Technical College (MCTC).
The 12-week course met Monday, Wednesday and Thursday from 5-9 p.m. to learn life-saving skills such as workforce safety, lifting and moving patients, trauma and BLS resuscitation. Students were also able to gain first-hand experience through several hours of ride time with an ambulance crew.

It’s an election year and that means political signs are going up everywhere . . .  some are even being placed illegally in the state right-of-way.
“I don’t want to have to pick them up,” said Kevin Florence, Kentucky Transportation Department road superintendent in Harrison County. “I try like heck to not have to get them.”
Florence said there are several reasons why putting any kind of sign in the right-of-way is illegal.

Republican Party April Meeting
No-till philosophy easy on the...

One of the most anticipated rites of spring is dusting off the tiller and heading out to the vegetable garden for a little soil play. It is one of those things you can’t plan for, though. It becomes a waiting game because we can’t do it if the soil is too wet; we don’t want to do it if it is too cold and we only have the time to do it when the weekend rolls around.
Well, what would you say if I told you that you were off the hook when it comes to spring tilling?
