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.

Man gets first handicapped motorcycle
He used to help keep us on time. Now he spends his time promoting wheelchair accessible motorcycles.
Former Campbellsville resident Larry Curry moved to Dyersburg, Tenn. about 10 years ago. Before that, he had owned and operated Campbellsville Watch Repair downtown for about 20 years.
When Fruit of the Loom closed its doors in 1998, Curry said, his business suffered greatly. He eventually had to close his doors, too.
"Ninety percent of my customers were from Fruit of the Loom," he said.

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.

Insulin pump makes man's life easier to manage
At age 18, Bill Manners wasn't ready for the responsibility that comes with being a diabetic. A strict regimen of diet and insulin shots seemed impossible for the teenaged Manners.
"That's not always easy to do, especially when you are younger. You have to watch what you eat and remember your shots. I didn't want to do it when I was 18."
Today, at 42, Manners no longer has to schedule his life around his four insulin shots.
Manners received an Accucheck insulin pump about two months ago. He was the first person to have the procedure done at TRH.
