A Heartfelt Homecoming for an Honorable Hero By Mig Feuser Adair Progress Staff Writer Like most, the November of 1944 was cold and rainy as American troops waged their way through the Huertgen forest in the far west of Germany where Army Private First Class Henry C. Wade from the Decatur community of Russell County was one of the thousands of American soldiers trying to get through the thick woods and prepare the way for the allied forces to cross the river Rur near the city of Dueren. Unfortunately, PFC Wade would not reach the river many weeks later with the others. Wade was born in Casey County on November 29, 1919 and eventually entered the military where he was assigned to Company K, 3rd Battalion, 12th Infantry Regiment, 4th Infantry Division, as an infantryman.

Gov. Beshear thanks firefighters as wildfire threat subsides From Crystal Staley/Scottie Ellis Frankfort, KY - On Nov. 21, 2023, Gov. Andy Beshear announced that overnight rain and continuing efforts by more than 300 firefighters have greatly lessened the number and size of wildfires throughout the commonwealth, and as of 10amET, the Kentucky Division of Forestry (KDF) reported no active wildfires. A total of 12 fires are contained - those that have containment lines stopping their spread but that require some level of action - and 257 fires are now considered controlled - those that have been managed and are no longer at risk of escaping control lines. "It has been a long three weeks for Kentucky's firefighters and those across the nation who came to our aid," Gov. Beshear said. "We are grateful for those working on the frontlines, around the clock, to get these fires under control. They've done a tremendous job under tough circumstances."

Buckle up, put the phone down for Thanksgiving travel From Erin G. Eggen Frankfort, KY - With the holidays quickly approaching, travelers are reminded of two important lifesaving actions - buckling up and putting the phone down every time they enter a vehicle. "The holiday season is one of the busiest travel times of the year, so we're asking Kentuckians to buckle up and put the phone down in an effort to protect themselves and other families traveling on the road," said Gov. Andy Beshear. "These basic steps can save lives and keep our most precious cargo - our Kentucky families - safe on the road." Over the past decade, distracted driving has become one of the leading causes of vehicle crashes on our nation's roads. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), while anything that takes a driver's eyes off the road, hands off the wheel or mind off the task of driving is a hazard, texting and the use of a phone while driving is especially risky because it combines all three types of distraction - visual, manual and cognitive.
