Brad Gough (right), a civil engineer at Siteworx in Paducah, and Chuck Tate, with Progress
Paducah, post their answers to the question, “What is Paducah known for now?” Progress
Paducah, a group of young professionals, held the visioning exercise during a meeting at the
Grand Lodge on Fifth in downtown Paducah Tuesday night.
At a brainstorming session attended by Paducah residents
both young and old Tuesday night, there seemed to be a consensus about what the city’s future should entail: progress.
About 100 people took part in a group visioning exercise held at the Grand Lodge on Fifth Street. The event was
designed to generate ideas about what Paducah’s future
should hold and get more discussion going about preserving the city’s historic buildings.
The city’s newly organized young professionals group,
now named Progress Paducah, co-hosted the event with
Paducah-McCracken County Growth Inc.
The Progress Paducah group started when Mayor Gayle
Kaler began asking area young adults last year what can be

Associated Press
WASHINGTON — Two women have now passed the
Army’s grueling Ranger test, and even tougher and more
dangerous jobs could lie ahead. The military services are
poised to allow women to serve in most front-line combat jobs, including special operations forces, senior officials told The Associated Press.
Based on early talks, officials say the Army, Navy and
Air Force likely will not seek exceptions that close any
jobs to women. Marine Corps leaders, they say, have
expressed concerns about allowing women to serve in
infantry jobs and yet may seek an exception.
The services are wrapping up reviews and must make
their recommendations to Defense Secretary Ash Carter
this fall. The officials spoke on condition of anonymity
because they were not authorized to discuss the internal
debate.
Even if Marine leaders object, they are likely to meet

CHELAN, Wash. — Wildfires are putting
such a strain on the nation’s firefighting resources that authorities have activated the
military and sought international help to
beat back scores of blazes burning uncontrolled throughout the dry West.
The situation is so urgent that the National Interagency Fire Center in Boise this week
called in 200 active-duty military troops to
help contain roughly 95 wildfires.
It’s the first time since 2006 that the agency has mobilized soldiers for fire-suppression.
“Nationally, the system is pretty tapped,”

“Right now we’ve got a marginal risk (for severe weather),

College mourns football star McConnell says
The Kentucky Enquirer
CRESTVIEW HILLS — When
the candlelight vigil for Mitchell
Kramer came to a close Monday
night at Thomas More College, no
one in the crowd left.
The group of hundreds of
friends and teammates just
moved closer to the family who
had lost its loved one in an allterrain vehicle crash less than 24
hours earlier.
Thomas More students and
faculty, where Kramer was beginning his junior year, along
with supporters from Campbell
County High School turned out in
droves to mourn the man who his
football teammates said always
had a smile on his face.
Police and emergency crews responded to 102 Rifle Range Road
in rural Campbell County around
2:30 a.m. Monday morning, according to county officials. When
they arrived on the scene, Kramer, of Alexandria, wasn’t breath-
ing. Attempts to revive him were
unsuccessful.
Additional information regarding the specific cause of death has
not been released.
The focus of many of the
speeches at the vigil was Kramer’s
work ethic and attitude, which
seemed best demonstrated in his
love for football and the school’s
NCAA Division III program.
Dozens of Thomas More Saints
wearing gray and blue shirts cried
alongside his mother and father.
Ryan Goss, former defensive
coordinator for Campbell County
High School, coached Kramer
during his final two years in high
school. Goss said Kramer’s journey in athletics serves as a lesson
for everyone.
“Mitch was one of those kids
that you always rooted for,” he
said. “He’s a kid that didn’t have
all the ability in the world, but he
was never afraid to work hard for
what he wanted.”
Goss discussed college many
times with Kramer, and said
Kramer was nervous and scared,
but wanted to chase his dream.
“I was so proud of him. He was a
kid that time and time again overcame adversity,” Goss recalled.
“Just because things are difficult
doesn’t mean it’s not right.”
Kramer was a rising star in the
Thomas More football program
and recorded six tackles during
his sophomore year in 2014. He
was a two-time letter winner and
captain for Campbell County High
School, even though, according to
Goss, he didn’t start playing until
he his junior year after he was cut
from the basketball team.
“The best thing about Mitch
was his infectious smile. He always greeted you with a smile and
a handshake,” Campbell County
High School head football coach
Stephen Lickert told The Enquirer on Monday. “He was a kid you
always wanted to be around.”
Jameson Homes evacuated, 1 hurt after
repudiates Lawrenceburg tanker collision
allegations
Associated Press
BY VENITA FRITZ
Marshall County TribuneCourier
BENTON — Jamie
Jameson is denying allegations of domestic
violence brought before a Marshall County
court by a girlfriend with
whom he shared a residence 17 years ago.
Jameson is a candidate for circuit judge of
the 42nd judicial circuit
serving Marshall and
Calloway counties.
Court records indicate the woman filed an
Emergency
Protective
Order against Jameson
in 1998, but later recanted the story and the domestic violence case was
dismissed.
However,
Jameson
and the female were each
sentenced to six months
in the Marshall County
Detention Center as a
result of violating the
terms of the EPO and
denying the violation
before a judge. Jameson
spent 45 days in jail for
the incident and a judge
later denied a petition
to have the incident expunged from his record.
While Jameson admits
violating the terms of the
EPO, he denies that he
was abusive in the relationship at the center of
the allegations. Court records indicate, however,
that the woman and her
children had sought safety in a shelter for victims
of domestic violence in
Marshall County and later in McCracken County.
LAWRENCEBURG
— Authorities have
evacuated about two
dozen homes in central
Kentucky after a tanker
truck hauling gasoline
crashed, injuring the
driver.
Officials told WKYTTV that the driver was
taken to University of
Kentucky Hospital with
injuries that didn’t appear to be life-threatening.
The station said
workers managed to
stop a leak after the
wreck around 9 a.m.
Tuesday near the Alton
community in Anderson County.
Crews were focusing on containing and
monitoring the spill.
Officials said the
tanker was hauling
thousands of gallons
of gasoline and diesel
when it crashed into a
tree off Kentucky 151.
Roads in the area were
closed for the cleanup.

tobacco should
be in trade pact
BY BRUCE SCHREINER
Associated Press
SHELBYVILLE — U.S. Senate Majority Leader
Mitch McConnell signaled Tuesday that the inclusion of anti-tobacco language in a Pacific Rim
trade deal being negotiated could influence his
stance on a potential agreement covering nearly
40 percent of the global economy.
The Kentucky Republican also said climate
change should not surface as an issue in the trade
talks involving a dozen nations.
As the Senate’s top-ranking leader, McConnell
will wield considerable influence when a trade deal
comes up for a Senate vote.
In a rare show of teamwork, McConnell recently sided with President Barack Obama to give
the president greater authority to negotiate trade
deals. The bill gives Congress the right to approve
or reject trade agreements but not change them.
McConnell is a free-trade advocate, but indicated that how tobacco and coal are treated would be
factors in weighing a trade deal.

Race for 2016
perplexing for sure
It’s still a long way from the
2016 presidential election,
but already a couple of key
questions are starting to
emerge.
On the Democratic side the
question is: How much trouble
is Hillary Clinton really in?
On the Republican side the
question instead may be: Can
anything Donald Trump says
get him into trouble?
The far more serious of the
questions pertains to Clinton.
She still holds a commanding
lead for the Democratic
nomination in the polls. But
there’s growing concern she
could be charged with a crime.
Clinton is being investigated
by the FBI. She is also under
investigation by the State
Department’s inspector
general and the inspector
general for the Intelligence
Community. The agencies are
looking into whether Clinton
may have violated federal
law when she kept all of her
emails as Secretary of State on
a personal server in her home.
Specifically the agencies are
looking into whether she
stored any classified emails
on her server, which would be
illegal.
Clinton’s troubles began in
earnest when the inspector
general for the Intelligence
Community informed senior
members of Congress that
two of four classified emails
contained in the server
Clinton maintained at her

Secret”, the second-highest
security classification existing.
linton has attempted
to deflect the issue,
as have some of her
media hand-holders. Taking
a page from husband Bill’s
book (it depends on what your
definition of “is” is) she has
said that if classified material
wound up on her server, it
wasn’t marked “classified” at
the time, so it wasn’t really
classified.
But Monday The
Washington Times revealed
that some 305 of the work
emails on Clinton’s server
have now been sent to various
federal agencies to determine
C
whether they contain
classified information; that
from a sample representing
20 percent of the 30,000 work
emails Clinton ultimately
turned over to the State
Department. And Fox News
reported on Monday that
the total number of emails
containing classified material
has grown to 63.
linton maintains she
only viewed classified
material in hard copy
form or “by other secure
means.” But as evidence to
the contrary seems to mount,
one wonders if Clinton can
really outrun this one. Others,
notably Vice President Joe
Biden, seem to be wondering
the same thing, which is why
Clinton could soon have more
company in the Democratic
race.
As for Donald Trump on
the Republican side, it seems
no amount of misogynistic or
xenophobic commentary hurts
him in the polls. He holds fast
to his premise that Mexico is
sending America its criminals
and we need to send all illegal
immigrants home. He is for
revoking the constitutional
rule that children of illegal
immigrants born on our
shores are citizens. He wants
to build a fence along the
border and force Mexico to
pay for it. Women he dislikes
are “fat pigs” and female
reporters who ask tough
questions are hormonally
challenged. Opponents who
criticize him in the race are
“idiots”, “dummies” and “need
an IQ test.”
It would sink any other
candidate in any other year.
In fact it might sink any other
candidate this year. Trump’s
success seems to be that he is
the antithesis of a candidate
in a year when there is great
disaffection for Washington.
We still think Trump’s
balloon will burst. And
Clinton’s may too. Voters on
both sides of the ledger seem
increasingly interested in
picking an outsider, which
means a crowded field could
get even moreso before it’s all
said and done.

Fiorina flip-flops on Clinton
WASHINGTON — Carly
Fiorina says some, well,
interesting things while
waiting to go on camera.
In 2010, the then-GOP
Senate nominee went all
middle-school-cafeteria on
her Democratic opponent’s
hairdo. “God, what is that
hair? Sooo yesterday,”
Fiorina, already miked
up, commented, quoting
an aide’s assessment. Two
years earlier, in the makeup
room at ABC’s “This Week”
with me, Fiorina said
something that, at the time,
was mildly interesting, but
is now revelatory. It was
May 2008, close to the end
of the long primary battle
between Barack Obama
and Hillary Clinton, and
we were discussing the two
Democratic contenders.
At which point Fiorina,
then a campaign surrogate for presumptive GOP
nominee John McCain,
offered some unprompted
praise for Clinton: If
Fiorina hadn’t been backing McCain, she told me,
she would have been for
Clinton.
“That’s off the record,”
Fiorina immediately added.
Here a pause for a discussion of journalism ethics.
The commonly understood
rule governing when quotations are not for the record
requires the source to state
that position in advance, so
that the reporter can agree
to the limitation or not.
As veteran editor Norman Pearlstine wrote in
a useful set of journalistic
guidelines: “We do not
allow sources to change
the ground rules governing
specific quotations after the
fact. Once a quote is on the
record, it remains there.”
The Washington Post
Style Guide cautions that
“inexperienced sources —
usually ordinary people
who unexpectedly find
themselves the news —
should clearly understand
that you are a reporter and
should not be surprised to
find themselves quoted in
the newspaper.”
The first female CEO of
“the epitome of a professional political class that
has managed a bloated, inept, corrupt federal government for far too long.”
Fiorina’s shifting stance
on Clinton is striking:
She has gone from stealth

Letters
Bevin’s comments an attack
on a beloved local tradition
EDITOR:
I was disappointed to hear Matt Bevin
criticize our annual Fancy Farm Picnic.
For 135 years, the Fancy Farm Picnic
brings folks from both parties together
and shows the importance of western
Kentucky. It gives us the opportunity to
come together and hear from our political
candidates in a unique Kentucky way. It’s
also a fundraising event for St. Jerome’s
Catholic Church, not just a political event.
Leave it to an East Coast con man like
Bevin to insult one of Kentucky’s most beloved and colorful political traditions. He’s
not from Kentucky, so maybe he doesn’t
understand the traditions of Fancy Farm.
Bevin made his insult even worse when he
tried to lie about what he said about the
picnic after the event and in the days following it. But this is the sort of dishonesty
that we’ve come to expect from Bevin.
Matt Bevin clearly doesn’t understand
the traditions or values of Kentucky. We
deserve a governor who understands what
makes Kentucky unique and doesn’t at-
tack our traditions.

Bowling Green doctor shot
BY DEBORAH HIGHLAND
Bowling Green Daily News
BOWLING GREEN — The wife
of a Bowling Green obstetrician
and gynecologist who was shot
Saturday night pleaded not guilty
Monday in Warren District Court
to charges of driving under the
influence, two counts of first-degree wanton endangerment and
one count of failure to produce an
insurance card after she was in a
wreck while driving her wounded
husband to the hospital.
Selena Drexel, 43, was booked
in Warren County Regional Jail
early Sunday after a three-vehicle collision Saturday night at
U.S. 31-W By-Pass and Fairview
Avenue. The Bowling Green Police Department accident report
shows that Drexel was traveling
west on Fairview Avenue toward
the bypass when she attempted
to make a right turn, striking one
vehicle in the rear driver’s side
and another vehicle in the front
driver’s side. Her husband, Dr.
Todd Drexel, was the only passenger in the car.
“Her husband ... was lying on
the floor in the middle of the van
with a gunshot wound in his left
side,” according to the accident
report.
Selena Drexel immediately got

and tried to pull out the driver
of the first car she is accused of
hitting, according to the accident
report. She screamed at the other
driver that she needed her car to
take her husband to the hospital.
That driver complained of back
and shoulder injuries and was
taken to The Medical Center.
“We’re working through the
facts of the case,” Warren County
Commonwealth’s Attorney Chris
Cohron said after Drexel’s court
appearance this morning. He declined to talk about what led up
to the crash.
Before the collision, a woman
contacted authorities at 10:23
p.m. Saturday and said she had
shot her husband at 383 Fordes
Crossing Road in Warren County, Post 3 spokesman Trooper
B.J. Eaton said. The same address is listed as the Drexels’ address on the city police collision
report.
As troopers were on the way to
that call, they learned the people
they were looking for were involved a wreck at U.S. 31-W ByPass and Fairview Avenue, Eaton
said.
More than 30 hours after the
incidents, Eaton, speaking on
behalf of KSP, has not released
the name of the gunshot victim,
who the Daily News identified as
Todd Drexel through the city police accident report.
Eaton also referred a media
request for prior call history to
the home to the records clerk in
Frankfort. KSP dispatch records
were as recently as 2011 open at
the post level for media inspection at any time. Eaton said he is
not aware of when that media access to dispatch records changed.
Post 3 from 2011 to the present
has had four post commanders.
The Warren County Sheriff’s
Office grants same-day access
to dispatch call logs and has not
been called to that address dating
back to May 2013, when the sheriff’s office began using its current
record-keeping system, spokesman Stephen Harmon said.

New Conway ad attacks Bevin over taxes
FRANKFORT — Democratic nominee for governor
Jack Conway has aired his first attack ad of the
2015 election.
The ad began airing Tuesday on Kentucky cable
and satellite markets across the state. It shows a
clip of Republican nominee Matt Bevin saying he
does not have a problem paying his taxes followed
by a list of all the tax problems Bevin has had. The
list includes failure to pay individual taxes along
with taxes associated with the various companies
he owns.
The ad ends with the line “you can’t trust him.”
Republican U.S. Sen. Mitch McConnell used
some of the same accusations against Bevin during the 2014 Senate primary. Bevin has acknowledged his previous issues with taxes but has said
those problems were caused by others and said
he paid what he owed once he learned of the debt.

8 workers hurt after scaffolding collapses
Associated Press
RIO RANCHO, N.M. — A sixstory scaffold collapsed Tuesday
outside a New Mexico medical
center, injuring eight construction workers, including four
critically, authorities said.
Officials at Presbyterian Rust
Medical Center in Rio Rancho
said 21 feet of scaffolding buckled and collapsed from the top
down at about 1 p.m.
Four workers suffered lifethreatening injuries and were
transported to University of
New Mexico Hospital in Albu-
querque, Rio Rancho Fire Department officials said.
The four other workers were
treated for less serious injuries
and taken to other area hospitals, said Rio Rancho fire inspector Jessica Duron-Martinez.
Work on a second patient
tower at the medical center has
been going on since last year,
and nearly 240 workers were at
the construction site Tuesday.
The cause of the scaffold
collapse wasn’t immediately
known.
Authorities said officials from
the Occupational Safety and
Health Administration have
been notified of the incident.
“The site is now closed. All
workers have been sent home.
The site will not be reopened
until both OSHA and our own
contractors and engineers have
deemed the site safe,” said Clay
Holderman, chief operating officer of Presbyterian’s Central
Delivery System.
Holderman said most of the
injured workers were on the
fifth floor when the scaffold collapsed.
Study: Medicaid population centered in east
FRANKFORT — A new review by a nonprofit
health organization shows that the largest share of
Kentucky’s Medicaid population lives in the impoverished eastern portion of the state.
The Foundation for a Healthy Kentucky has embarked on a three-year study of how the federal Affordable Care Act is affecting Kentucky. The group
released its first report on Tuesday. About a quarter of the state’s population is now on Medicaid
after the state decided to expand the program’s
eligibility requirements.
Eastern Kentucky accounts for 32 percent of the
Medicaid recipients while 25 percent live in western Kentucky. Nineteen percent live in Louisville,
16 percent live in Lexington and 8 percent live in
northern Kentucky near Cincinnati.

FDA approves Fogle may admit to child-porn charges
female sex pill
Associated Press
Associated Press
WASHINGTON — The
Food and Drug Administration on Tuesday
approved the first prescription drug designed
to boost sexual desire
in women, a milestone
long sought by a pharmaceutical
industry
eager to replicate the
blockbuster success of
impotence drugs for
men.
But stringent safety
measures on the daily
pill called Addyi mean
it will probably never
achieve the sales of Viagra, which has generated billions of dollars
since the late 1990s.
The drug’s label will
bear a boxed warning
— the most serious type
— alerting doctors and
patients to the risks of
dangerously low blood
pressure and fainting,
especially when the pill
is combined with alcohol. The same problems
can occur when taking the drug with other
commonly prescribed
medications,
including antifungals used to
treat yeast infections.
“Patients and prescribers should fully
understand the risks
associated with the use
of Addyi before considering treatment,” said
Dr. Janet Woodcock,
director of the FDA’s
drug center, in a statement.
Under an FDA-imposed safety plan, doctors will only be able to
prescribe Addyi after
completing an online
certification
process
that requires counseling patients about
Addyi’s risks. Pharmacists will also need
certification and will
be required to remind
patients not to drink
alcohol while taking the
drug.
Opponents of the
drug say it’s not worth
the side effects, which
also include nausea,
drowsiness and dizziness. They point out
that the FDA rejected
the drug twice, in 2010
and 2013, due to these
risks.
Patients should stop
taking the drug after
eight weeks if they do
not see any improvement, notes the FDA
release.
Sprout Pharmaceutical’s drug is intended
to treat women who
report emotional stress
due to a lack of libido.
Its approval marks
a turnaround for the
FDA, which previously
rejected the drug twice
due to lackluster effectiveness and side effects. The decision represents a compromise
of sorts between two
camps that have publicly feuded over the drug
for years.
INDIANAPOLIS — Longtime
Subway pitchman Jared Fogle is
expected to plead guilty to childpornography charges, an Indiana
television station reported Tuesday.
The report on Fox 59 comes
six weeks after authorities seized
electronics and other items from
Fogle’s home in Zionsville, an affluent Indianapolis suburb.
Citing sources it did not identify, the station said Fogle would
enter a plea today. It also said the
U.S. Attorney’s Office in Indianapolis planned to hold a news
conference today.
The 37-year-old Fogle became
a Subway pitchman more than
15 years ago after shedding more
than 200 pounds as a college student, in part by eating the chain’s
sandwiches.
Subway suspended its association with Fogle after the raid. The
company declined to comment
Tuesday, saying only that the
chain had “already ended our relationship with Jared.”
Ron Elberger, an Indianapolis
attorney who represents Fogle,
and Tim Horty, a spokesman for
the U.S. Attorney’s Office in Indianapolis, both declined to comment on the report.
Two months before Fogle’s
home was raided, authorities arrested the then-executive director
of Fogle’s foundation on childporn charges. Russell Taylor,
43, ran the Jared Foundation,
which sought to raise awareness
about childhood obesity. He was
charged with seven counts of production of child pornography and
one count of possession of child
pornography.
Investigators said they discovered a cache of sexually explicit
photos and videos Taylor allegedly produced by secretly filming
Associated Press
Former Subway restaurant spokesman Jared Fogle walks to a waiting car as he leaves his home in Zionsville, Indiana. Fox 59 television station reported Tuesday that the pitchman is expected to
plead guilty to child-pornography charges, citing sources it did not
identify.
minor children at his home.
After those charges were filed,
Fogle issued a statement saying
he was shocked by the allegations
and was severing all ties with Taylor.
Though Fogle has not been
front-and-center in Subway’s
advertising recently, he had still
been acting as a Subway spokesman and appearing at events on
the company’s behalf.
Fogle’s history with Subway
reaches back to when he was a
student at Indiana University.
The college paper published a
story on his weight loss that was
then picked up by national media.
Soon after, Subway’s advertising agency reached out to Fogle
and asked if he wanted to be in a
TV commercial. The ensuing ad
campaign resonated in part because Fogle seemed like such a
regular guy, which made weight
loss seem simple and achievable.
Of course, Fogle was not the
only reason for Subway’s growth
over the years. Its $5 footlong
deals were popular with people
looking to save money, and many
customers liked that they could
have their sandwiches made to
order.
Still, Fogle was instrumental in
Subway’s success over the years.
In 2013, Subway celebrated the
15-year anniversary of Fogle’s famous diet by featuring him in a
Super Bowl ad and making him
available to news organizations
for interviews. At the time, Fogle
said he still traveled regularly on
behalf of Subway. He also said he
had a Subway “black card” that let
him eat at the chain for free.
The company, based in Milford, Connecticut, has declined to
provide details on its financial arrangements with Fogle.
Amazon’s data-driven approach spreading
BY MAE ANDERSON
AP Technology Writer
NEW YORK — Amazon isn’t the only company that is using data
on employees to improve productivity.
A New York Times
article over the weekend portrayed Amazon’s
work culture as “bruising” and “Darwinian”
in part because of the
way it uses data to manage its staff. The article
depicted a work culture
where staffers are under
constant pressure to deliver strong results on a
wide variety of detailed
metrics the company
monitors in real time —
such as what gets abandoned in peoples shopping cards and what

way it uses data to manage its staff.
social media.
Amazon’s CEO Jeff
Bezos said in a memo to
staff over the weekend
that the article doesn’t
accurately describe the
company culture he
knows. But experts say
the kind of data-driven
staff management Amazon uses is set to become more common as
technology continues to
transform the American
workplace.
“Every company is
somewhere in process
toward using data to get
a better handle on who
their top performers
are and to understand
where people stand,”
said John Challenger,
CEO of outplacement
consultancy Challenger,
Gray & Christmas, Inc.
Companies, both large
and small, have been
moving away from traditional human resources
reviews that rely on annual performance evaluations. They’re moving
toward a more datadriven approach with
more frequent feedback,
check-ins, and other
metrics.
Consulting firms Accenture and Deloitte
both said this year they
would revamp their
performance
review
processes, for example,
adopting a more data
driven approach that
includes more frequent
ratings by managers and
other internal feedback
and data that can be aggregated and analyzed to
provide a better portrait
of performance than a
single rating. In an essay
in the Harvard Business
Review, Deloitte said the
new approach uses “the
technology to go from a
small data version of our
people to a big data version of them.”

Thai family members gather around the coffin of a victim of the Erawan Shrine bombing Tuesday at a
hospital in Bangkok. Thailand’s prime minister promised to track down those responsible for the central
Bangkok bombing which he described as the country’s worst attack in history.
Thailand police seek suspect
Associated Press
BANGKOK — In the grainy security video, a man in a yellow shirt
sits on a bench at the crowded
Erawan Shrine, removes a backpack he is wearing, and leaves it
behind when he walks away.
For police hunting who was
responsible for Monday’s deadly
bombing in central Bangkok,
there was no doubt about the man
with youthful shaggy dark hair
and glasses.
“The yellow shirt guy is not just
the suspect. He is the bomber,”
police spokesman Lt. Gen. Prawut
Thavornsiri told The Associated
Press on Tuesday.
Prime Minister Prayuth Chanocha called the shrine bombing near a busy intersection that
killed 20 and wounded more than
100 “the worst incident that has
ever happened in Thailand,” and
he promised to track down those
responsible.
“There have been minor bombs
or just noise, but this time they
aimed for innocent lives,” Prayuth said. “They want to destroy
our economy, our tourism.”
Bangkok was rattled again
Tuesday when another pipe bomb
blew up at the Sathorn Pier, which
is used by tourists, although no
one was hurt.
Prawut released several photos
of the man, with and without the
backpack, on social media. The
Associated Press
These images released by Royal Thai Police spokesman Lt. Gen.
Prawut Thavornsiri shows a man wearing a yellow T-shirt near the
Erawan Shrine before an explosion occurred in Bangkok. Prawut
said he believes the man is a suspect in the blast that killed a number of people at a shrine in downtown Bangkok on Monday night.
images were apparently taken
from closed-circuit video at the
shrine before the bomb exploded.
Video posted separately on
Thai media appeared to show the
same man sitting on a bench at
the shrine, taking off the backpack and leaving it behind as he
walked away.
Without elaborating, the prime
minister said, “Today we have
seen the closed-circuit footage, we
saw some suspects, but it wasn’t
clear. We have to find them first.”
Prayuth said the government
will expedite “all investigative efforts to find the perpetrators and
bring them to justice.”
The bomb, which police say was
made from a pipe and weighed
more than 6 pounds, went off
about 7 p.m. in an upscale area
filled with tourists, office workers
and shoppers.
No one has claimed responsibility.

Vehicles pass a 419.9 milepost just south of
Coeur d’Alene, Idaho. Idaho joined Colorado in
replacing milepost 420 signs with milepost 419.9
designations in an effort to thwart thievery.
the department has replaced in Idaho, a state
known for its strict anti-marijuana laws despite being nearly surrounded by states with
relaxed pot regulations.
Most highways in
the country don’t cover
more than 400 miles.
For example, Oregon
has been spared the
spike in sign thefts due
to having no highways
long enough to reach
past a 400 milepost,
even though it recently
legalized marijuana.
“Having a sign removed from a highway
is pretty rare,” Rush
said. “In Idaho, people
will shoot at them or
write on them before
stealing them completely. We spend more time
mending signs than replacing them.”
Rush said that the department didn’t want to
leave the milepost empty because the signs can
be valuable for drivers
tracking their journey.
The number “420”
has long been associated with marijuana,
though its origins as a
shorthand for pot are
murky.
Washington has two
highways long enough
to have 420 mileposts
that have both been
plagued by thieves

the Idaho border.

Idaho foils stoners with 419.9 sign
BOISE, Idaho — If
you’re looking for milepost 420, you won’t find
it in Idaho.
Idaho transportation
officials say the mile
marker has been replaced with 419.9 signs
to curb thieves eager to
own a number associated with marijuana enthusiasts.
Turns out, Idaho isn’t
alone in this problem.
States like Washington
and Colorado have also
replaced 420 signs with
419.9 after consistently
having to replace them
after thefts by supposed
sticky-fingered stoners.
Adam Rush of the
Idaho Transportation
Department says officials have replaced
the old sign along U.S.
Highway 95 with “MILE
419.9,” just south of
Coeur d’Alene.
Rush added that this
is the only 420 sign
PAOLI, Ind. — Kerry
Royce Wyatt, 56, of
Paoli, Indiana, formerly of Murray, died Sunday, August 16, 2015,
at IU Health of Paoli.
He was previously
employed by Kennedy
Tobacco. He taught agriculture at Lowes and
Symsonia high schools
and recently retired
from Paoli Community Schools as the agriculture teacher and
FFA adviser after 28
years. He attended
Paoli United Methodist Church and was a
member of West Fork
Baptist Church in Stella, Kentucky.
He is survived by his
wife of 21 years, Rachel
Greathouse Wyatt; one
sister, Stephanie Wyatt
of Murray; one brother, Terry Dale Wyatt
of Murray; one niece,
Bridget Swatzell of
Murray; and two nephews, Tanner Wyatt of
Murray and Davis Tin-
Personnel.
Transgender advocates say
she is the first openly transgender official to serve in the White
House.
Freedman-Gurspan previously
was a policy adviser for the National Center for Transgender
Equality’s racial and economic
justice initiative.
Advocates hailed her appoint-
ment as an important step for
the LGBT community and for
ensuring that the federal government includes the voices and experiences of all Americans.
White House senior adviser
Valerie Jarrett says FreedmanGurspan’s commitment to improving the lives of transgender
Americans reflects the values of
the Obama administration.

RANGERS
WILDFIRES
CONTINUED FROM 1A
resistance from senior Navy and
Defense Department officials who
want the military to be united on
this issue.
Undercutting the Marines’ reservations is that Special Operations Command is likely to allow
women to compete for the most
demanding military commando
jobs — including the Navy SEALs
and the Army’s Delta Force —
though with the knowledge that it
may be years before women even
try to enter those fields.
Women have been steadily
moving into previously all-male
jobs across the military, including as members of the Army’s
160th Special Operations Aviation Regiment, best known as the
helicopter crews that flew Navy
SEALs into Osama bin Laden’s
compound. Women are also now
serving on Navy submarines and
in Army artillery units.
Friday will mark another milestone as the two women graduate at Fort Benning, Georgia,
from the Ranger school, a physically and mentally demanding
two-month combat leadership
course. Completing the course
lets the two women wear the coveted Ranger black-and-gold tab,
but it does not let them become
members of the Ranger regiment.
Neither woman has been publicly
identified by the military.
Longer term, the uncertainty of
the Marine decision underscores
the wrenching debates going
on within the military over the
changing role of women, and it
reflects the individual identities
of the services and how they view
their warrior ethos.
Only a handful of jobs in the
Navy and Air Force are currently
closed to women.
Last year the Navy considered
seeking an exception that would
have prohibited women from
serving on older guided missile
frigates, mine-countermeasure
ships and patrol coast craft. Some
argued that those ships, which
are due to be phased out in coming years, would need millions of
dollars in construction to add facilities for women and it wasn’t
worth the expense.
But Navy Secretary Ray Mabus
withdrew that plan in a memo late
last month that was obtained by
the AP. Officials said Navy leaders
concluded that since women can
serve in all the same jobs on other
ships no real exclusion existed.
The Army and Marine Corps,
however, have thousands of infantry, artillery and armor jobs
that are currently closed to women.
There has been a lot of study
and debate over whether to open
those positions, because they often involve fighting in small units
on the front lines, doing physically punishing tasks.
PITCH
CONTINUED FROM 1A
and allows the developer to recoup $3.5 million of the project’s estimated $7.5 million in
infrastructure costs.
City and county officals have shown no interest in providing any
financial incentives for
the development.
Sansone said he asked
for the opportunity
to speak at Tuesday’s
school board meeting
to clarify some misconceptions about the project in a public forum.
He said he just wants a
fair chance to have the
facts of the proposal
heard.
“We have all the respect in the world for
your community leaders, and we just ask
for that opportunity to
present to them and
have them decide on the
record, not on rumors,
not on what’s being
suggested, but to have
a good dialogue. That’s
what we’re looking for,”
he told the board.
He emphasized that
Sansone Group — not
the city, county or taxpayers — would fund
the project, with no new
taxes or tax increases.
Creating the TIF district
would allow Sansone
group to recoup $3.5
million of the $7.5 million investment in public
infrastructure improvements the development
would require, Sansone
said.
The $3.5 million
would come in increments from new tax revenue generated by the
project over a period of
paducahsun.com
no longer than 20 years.
But the city or county
would have to agree to
create the TIF district.
“We write the check.
We develop the project.
We build the project.
We lease the project.
We own the project,” he
said. “If those revenues
that we projected aren’t
present, we don’t get
paid back.”
After asking Sansone
to confirm exactly what
McCracken
County
Schools would gain from
the project — a projected $7.5 million over 20
years — board member
Jerry Shemwell was
stumped.
“What’s wrong with
this project? It sounds
too good to be true,” he
told Sansone. “I’d certainly like to say that this
school system could use
$7.5 million.”
Sansone thanked the
board for allowing him
to speak.
“A lot of people have
said, boy, they just won’t
let it go,” Sansone said.
“And I say exactly what
you said, sir, and that is,
I just don’t get it. What
is it that we’re missing
that is not good about
this project? New retail,
1,200 new jobs, $26
million in new revenue,
$7.5 million of that to
your school district,
and we’re writing all the
checks.”
Board Chairman Jeff
Parker made it clear
the board was not there
Tuesday to make any
decisions or declarations regarding the proposed project. School
board meetings are
public forums, Parker
said, and when someone requests to speak,
they let them. Like Shemwell, however, Parker
couldn’t deny his interest in the $7.5 million McCracken County
Schools could stand to
gain from the project.
Most in the audience
at Tuesday’s meeting expressed interest in if not
outright support for the
Sansone Group’s proposed project. Sansone
said the public support
his company has received from Paducah
residents via social media, emails and phone
calls has been overwhelming. It’s one of the
reasons he’s continued
to pursue the project
despite resistance from
county and city governments.
“We wouldn’t be pushing this hard for this
project and trying to get
the benefits heard if we
weren’t very confident
about its opportunity for
success,” Sansone said.
“And the fact that we’ve
put three years of work
into it.”
Board member Don
Heine said to Sandsone:
“I appreciate you coming to speak with us, but
one thing that concerns
me a little bit is this forum.”
He then directed his
gaze to county Commissioner Bill Bartleman
sitting a few rows behind the podium where
Sansone stood. “I know
Bill’s here. I would encourage you guys —
whether you vote yes or
no — to listen. Let them
present. I mean people
come here to present,
and we listen. At least
listen and make a decision.”
After Sansone departed, the board’s attention turned to the decision it must make soon
about the district’s tax
rate for the coming year.
Because of a significant
drop in the assessment
of tangible and real
property in McCracken
County — a $161 million
drop — the county will
have to raise its tax rate
to 52.4 cents per $100 of
assessed property just to
maintain the same revenue it generated in taxes
last year with a rate of
49.5 cents.
The board can either
choose the compensating rate of 52.4 cents,
a rate of 54.4 cents to
generate 4 percent more
revenue over last year,
or a rate somewhere in
between. If the board
chooses anything above
the compensating rate,
it must hold a public
hearing to discuss the
issue.
Not yet ready to make
the call Tuesday, the
board agreed to discuss
its tax options further
at its regular meeting
Thursday night.

Mountain resort town of Chelan. “Everything is being used right now, so competition for resources is
fierce.”
The troops are all coming from the 17th Field Artillery Brigade at Joint Base Lewis-McChord near
Tacoma and will be sent to a fire north of Republic,
a town in central Washington, about 30 miles south
of the Canadian border.
Fire managers at the center are able to enlist military help when there are not enough civilian firefighting teams, thanks to a 1975 agreement between
the Defense, Interior and Agriculture departments.
The help can be crucial in particularly active years
like this one, when the center’s firefighting teams
and equipment are fighting hundreds of fires across
many states. In the last two weeks alone, more than
1,500 square miles have burned in the Lower 48
states, center spokesman Ken Frederick said.
The fires in the Pacific Northwest get top priority
when it comes to allocating pinched resources.
More than 1,000 people are battling the massive
fires near Chelan that have burned more than 170
square miles and destroyed an estimated 75 buildings. They are just some of the huge blazes raging
in the West.
A lightning-sparked fire in Oregon’s Malheur
National Forest has grown to 63 square miles and
destroyed at least 26 houses. An additional 500
structures are threatened by the flames near the
community of John Day, also in Oregon.
In the Northern Rockies, so many wildfires have
ignited this month that officials are letting some
that might be suppressed under normal circumstances burn because manpower and equipment
are committed elsewhere.
The area experienced a normal fire season until
last week, when a combination of drought, high
temperatures and lightning-packed storms created
new blazes across western Montana and Idaho.

War criminal had red flags Study correlates
BY ROBERT BURNS
Associated Press
WASHINGTON — A
soldier convicted two
years ago of one of the
worst American atrocities of the war in Afghanistan had exhibited
warning signs of unwarranted violent behavior, but none that indicated he was capable of
slaughtering 16 Afghan
civilians, including seven children, and burning some of their bodies,
according to a military
investigation report released Tuesday.
The report also concluded that while behavior standards inside former Staff Sgt.
Robert Bales’ unit were
sometimes
violated,
this “command climate”
problem did not contribute to his crime.
When he was sentenced to life in prison
in August 2013, Bales
offered no explanation
for sneaking off post to
undertake the killing
mission, but he apologized on the witness
stand and described
the slaughter as an “act
Associated Press
Staff Sgt. Robert Bales in 2011 participates in
an exercise at the National Training Center at Fort
Irwin, Calif. A U.S. military investigation into Bales
shooting rampage in Afghanistan concludes that
there were advance warnings that he was capable
of unwarranted violence, but not that he would
commit a large-scale atrocity.
of cowardice, behind a
mask of fear, bulls--and bravado.”
Prosecutors argued
that Bales’ own “stomach-churning”
words
demonstrated that he
knew exactly what he
was doing.
“My count is 20,”
Bales told another soldier when he returned
to the base. Bales shot
22 people in all, killing
16.
At his sentencing, he
said: “I’m truly, truly
sorry to those people
whose families got taken away. I can’t comprehend their loss. I
think about it every
time I look at my kids.”
The investigation report released by U.S.
Central Command included no significant
new evidence of the
crime, nor did the 569
pages of witness testimony and other documentation shed new
light on what caused
Bales to act.
The report asserted
that some military witnesses
interviewed
by investigators were
“less than forthcoming”
about
inappropriate
conduct at the outpost
where Bales was assigned when he went on
his rampage March 11,
2011. Some witnesses
“hedged” on questions
that might reveal misconduct by themselves
or their colleagues, the
report said.
Discipline at the outpost, known as Camp
Belambay, was ragged.
The report found that
while soldiers there
were technically competent, “standards of
conduct and discipline
were low.” It said some
non-commissioned officers used alcohol and
steroids in violation of
military rules and tolerated the use of intolerant comments about
Afghans.
teens’ e-cig use
to later smoking
BY LINDSEY TANNER
AP Medical Writer
CHICAGO — Teens who use e-cigarettes are
more likely than others to later smoke conventional cigarettes and other tobacco products, a study at
10 Los Angeles high schools suggests.
The study doesn’t prove that electronic cigarettes are a “gateway drug” but some doctors say
it bolsters arguments that the devices should be
strictly regulated as proposed by the Food and
Drug Administration.
Whether teens had tried just one e-cigarette or
were habitual users isn’t known, nor is whether they became heavy smokers or just had a few
puffs. That information would be needed to help
determine whether nicotine from e-cigarettes predisposed users to seek out other sources.
Despite those limitations, the study “is the strongest evidence to date that e-cigarettes might pose a
health hazard by encouraging adolescents to start
smoking conventional tobacco products,” said Dr.
Nancy Rigotti, director of a tobacco research and
treatment center at Massachusetts General Hospital.
Her commentary and the study were both published in Tuesday’s Journal of the American Medical Association.
E-cigarettes haven’t been extensively studied
and there’s no scientific consensus on any potential benefits or harms, including whether they lead
kids to become regular smokers.
Indonesian rescuers find destroyed plane
Associated Press
JAYAPURA, Indonesia
— Rescuers on Tuesday reached the site
in eastern Indonesia
where a passenger plane
slammed into a mountain over the weekend,
killing all 54 people on
board, and found that
the aircraft had been destroyed, officials said.
More than 70 rescuers reached the crash
site after being hindered
by rugged, forested terrain and bad weather,
said Henry Bambang
Soelistyo, the National Search and Rescue
Agency chief.
The flight data recorder and the cockpit voice
recorder — the plane’s
“black boxes” — were
found in good condition,
Soelistyo said. The data
they contain could help
explain what caused
the Trigana Air Service
plane to crash Sunday.
“The plane was totally
destroyed and all the
bodies were burned and
difficult to identify,” Soelistyo said.
He said all 54 bodies had been recovered
and would be taken to
Jayapura, the capital of
Papua province, so they
can be identified. The
“The plane was totally
destroyed and all the bodies
were burned and difficult to
identify.”

ATR42-300 twin turboprop plane was flying
from Jayapura to the
city of Oksibil with 49
passengers and five crew
members on a scheduled
42-minute flight when it
lost contact with air traffic control.
Soelistyo said the
wreckage was at an altitude of 8,500 feet. Much
of Papua is covered with
impenetrable
jungles
and mountains. Some
planes that have crashed
there in the past have
never been found.
The airline’s crisis center official in Jayapura’s
Sentani airport, Budiono, said all the passengers were Indonesians,
and included three local
government officials and
two members of the local
parliament who were to
attend a ceremony Monday in Oksibil marking

nial rule.
Like many Indonesians, Budiono goes by
one name.
Oksibil, about 175
miles south of Jayapura,
was experiencing heavy
rain, strong winds and
fog when the plane lost
contact with the airport
minutes before it was
scheduled to land.
The victims’ relatives,
who had been waiting at
the airport, broke down
in tears when they heard
the news. Many of them
accused the airline of
taking too long to give
them information.
“They are unprofessional ... they play with
our feelings of grieving,”
said Cory Gasper, whose
brother Jhon Gasper
was on the plane.
The airline released a
public apology just after
a search plane spotted
the smoldering wreckage of the aircraft on
Monday.
It’s unclear what
caused the crash, and Indonesia’s transportation
safety commission has
opened an investigation.
The passengers included four postal workers escorting four bags of
cash totaling $468,750
in government aid for
poor families to help offset a spike in fuel prices,
said Franciscus Haryono, the head of the post
office in Jayapura, the
provincial capital.

almost two hours on top of our roof (free consultation), gave us a bid that was very reasonable, and
sent out a crew within two weeks of accepting his
bid. The crew worked until it was too dark to see and
completed the roof the next day before noon. Workmanship is great and no materials or trash was left
anywhere on our property. If you are tired of contacting roofers who never call you back, this company
gets it done professionally without delay.

done to attract younger
residents to the city.
Growth Inc. is a board of
about a dozen individuals whose efforts include
protecting historic buildings.
The visioning exercise had each participant writing and posting responses to five
questions posed on
posters that were hung
on the walls. The questions were: What opportunities do you see
for Paducah’s growth?
What are our challenges in Paducah? What’s
Paducah known for?
What are Paducah’s
strengths? What do you
want Paducah to be
known for in 2025?
The responses were
as diverse as the makeup of Tuesday’s crowd.
For example, answers
to “What are Paducah’s
strengths?” ranged from
“positive people” to specific assets such as the
“clear view of the riverfront.”
The question about Paducah’s challenges elicited answers that touched
on issues from poverty
to leadership.
In response to what
Paducah should be
known for in 2025, one
person wrote: “Little
city, big heart.”
Anne Gwinn, chairwoman of Growth Inc.,
is a preservationist who’s
worked to restore many
buildings in Paducah.
She said she hosted
the Grand Lodge event
because she wants to
see more young people
thinking
about
Paducah’s future.
“I think it’s a wonderful
inter-generational
exchange about what we
like and don’t like about
Paducah,” she said. “The
energy of this young
group, what they can
bring, is sorely needed.
We have a lot of educated and passionate young
people. They can make
a difference, and they
want to make a difference.”
“I think it’s a wonderful intergenerational exchange about
what we like and don’t like
about Paducah.”
Anne Gwinn
Growth Inc. chairwoman
Gwinn said when
she met Lauren Jackson and Levi Kepsel, a
young Paducah couple
who recently bought the
Smedley-Yeiser home in
Lower Town with plans
to renovate it, she realized, “I’m looking at myself 35 years ago.”
Jackson, one of the
organizers of Tuesday’s
event, said she “wanted
to get the community
involved in dreaming
about what Paducah can
be.”
Jackson is particularly
interested in preserving
City Hall, a goal Growth
Inc. also has been working on.
“It’s our job as citizens
to help our officials understand what we want
and how we are going
to make progress in
Paducah ... whether it’s
saving buildings such as
City Hall, promoting development in downtown
areas, or dreaming bigger, citizens can affect
change in Paducah,” she
said.
Mary
Hammond,
executive director of
the Paducah Convention & Visitor’s Bureau,
was among the participants and said she was
encouraged by the “good
vibes” at the meeting.
“We have an authenticity in this community that is not found
everywhere,” she said,
citing both the people
and the physical assets
Paducah has in its historic buildings.
Progress Paducah organizer Brandi Harless
said the group plans to
take all of the questions
and responses from
Tuesday’s exercise and
compile a report. The
group also is planning
to host monthly events
CARRIER
CONTINUED FROM 1A
Police said the crash impact caused Brown’s vehicle to roll off the highway’s shoulder and into a ditch,
while Sams’ vehicle rolled east before stopping in the
emergency lane.
Brown, who was not wearing a seatbelt at the time,
was taken by ambulance to Caldwell County Medical Center, where she was pronounced dead a short
time later.
Sams was treated for minor injuries and released.
State police are continuing to investigate the wreck,
and no criminal charges have been filed.
Brown, who worked as a mail carrier for 21 years,
started her career in 1994 as a rural carrier in Marion
before taking a position with the Princeton Post Office in 2012.
During her career Brown also served at the Rural
Carrier Academy in Paducah, where she trained new
employees, covering a variety of topics that included
how to deliver mail safely.
“She took pride in her work … and wanted to be
able to share that with people,” said David Walton,
a USPS spokesperson in Louisville. “She enjoyed her
job. She was a well-liked person in her office. It’s a
very emotional time, and we just hope we can get
through this.”
Walton described the staff at the Princeton Post
Office as a “tight-knit group” where everyone knew
and cared about each other.
“The mood at the office is very down right now …
which is only expected. You work with someone day
in and day out and the next day they’re gone. You
don’t think it’s anything that could ever happen to
you.”
In response to the incident, Walton said the postal
service provided counselors Tuesday on site at the
Princeton location to talk with Brown’s co-workers
and offer one-on-one counseling to those who needed it.
“It’s very tragic and it was very unexpected,” Walton said. “Her family is in our hearts and minds right
now, and it’s going to be a long time healing, but we
will get through this. We’ll just have to work through
it day by day.”
Brown is survived by her husband, Jerry Brown,
and daughter, Elizabeth Brown.

that will be open to the
public.
Harless was impressed
with Tuesday’s turnout, as the event was
organized on Facebook
only within the past few
weeks.
“To have this many
people show up who care
about visioning, it’s very
encouraging,” she said.
The next Progress
Paducah meeting, which
is open to the public, will
be a noon luncheon Sept.
15 at Shandies.

Three arrested after
meth labs alleged
Staff report
Three people were arrested Tuesday after police said they discovered
both active and inactive meth labs at
a Hardin residence.
A Kentucky State Police trooper
was attempting to find John M.
Nicholas, 57, of Benton on an active
warrant Tuesday, according to information from KSP. Police learned
that he was at a house on Commerce
Street in Hardin.
When the trooper and a Marshall
County deputy arrived, the officers
heard people inside the home but
they allegedly refused to answer the
door.
The officers smelled a chemical
odor consistent with that of methamphetamine manufacturing and
several inactive meth labs were
found on the property, police said.
Additional officers arrived and
police entered the residence, where
Nicholas was found with two other
people.
During a search of the residence
and out buildings, police also found
two active meth labs and “additional
items of drugs and drug paraphernalia,” the police report states.
Nicholas was arrested on a warrant for probation violation. The two
others at the property were Amanda
Duncan, 33, of Eldorado, Illinois,
and James E. Warford, 45, of Hardin.
Duncan was arrested on a probation violation. Warford was charged
with manufacturing methamphetamine, possession of a controlled
substance, possession of drug paraphernalia and possession of marijuana.
All three were taken to the Marshall County Detention Center.
