Hello?
Those who talk on their cell phones while driving might soon have to hang up.
A bill filed last November in the Kentucky General Assembly could make talking on a cell phone while driving against the law.
House Bill 56 seeks to make using a wireless communication device while driving on a public highway an offense that carries a fine of as much as $100.
According to the bill, the use of cell phones while driving will be prohibited unless a driver safely moves out of the flow of traffic, exits to a safe area and comes to a complete stop.

He used to help keep us on time. Now he spends his time promoting wheelchair accessible motorcycles.

When Fruit of the Loom closed its doors in 1998, Curry said, his business suffered greatly. He eventually had to close his doors, too.

Taylor Board gives initial OK to drug testing
Taylor County School Board has taken the first step toward approving a random drug-testing policy.
During its regular meeting last Tuesday, the Board heard from Taylor County High teacher Debbie Hinton on the cost and need for such a policy. Hinton is a member of a committee appointed to study the issue.
If approved, students who participate in extracurricular activities or drive to school would be subject to random drug tests. Hinton said the test should be given four times a year.
