Bowling Green, KY - WKU President Timothy C. Caboni, representatives from the Board of Directors of LifeWorks at WKU and local officials broke ground Monday (Oct. 21) on a two-year residential program designed to provide living, working and recreation support for individuals on the autism spectrum who are 21 years of age and older and are ready to enter the workforce.

"At WKU, we work to transform the lives of our students and elevate our community," President Caboni said. "Public/private partnerships, such as this, are incredibly important to our efforts in accomplishing our mission."

The residential buildings for LifeWorks at WKU will be located at 1328 Adams St. and will be completed through a renovation of existing apartment buildings.

Avoid charity scams when making donations

By Crystal Staley/Kenneth Mansfield

Frankfort, KY - In support of Charity Fraud Awareness Week, recognized Oct. 21-25, 2019, Attorney General Andy Beshear issued a charitable giving guide to help Kentuckians avoid falling victim to charity scams.

"Charity scams occur throughout the year, but tend to peak throughout the Thanksgiving and Christmas seasons when donors feel more inspired to help others in need and get the added bonus of qualifying for a tax deduction before the end of the calendar year," Beshear said. "By following my Charitable Giving Guide, Kentuckians can make sure their donations go to serve legitimate charities that will use their donations wisely."

Estimates suggest Americans donate approximately 2 percent of their disposable income to charity each year. In 2017, Americans gave $410 billion to charities.

Beshear's charitable giving guide provides these tips to help protect Kentuckians from scams, especially during the busy last-quarter of the year:

Letter: Emergency braking is different

Joe Hare writes:
As a respectful reply to Ricky's question regarding emergency braking of an air brake truck, the engine brake is not normally used in emergency stopping. As the engine brake is applied by the use of a switch on the dash that is an on/off switch, thus reaching over to turn this switch on requires a lot more time than applying the brakes with your foot. Also the engine brake does not apply the normal brakes and bring you to a stop, it only uses the compression of the engine to assist in slowing the the truck. You must use the air brakes to bring the truck to a complete stop.

For the reasons stated above, having a No Engine Brake ordinance would have no affect in emergency stopping. --Joe
