Helping Hands Need Help From Local Volunteers

The Helping Hands Health Clinic has provided much needed assistance to the residents of Todd, Logan and Muhlenberg counties since 2000, but now our help is needed to ensure the clinic maintains the level of aid it currently provides.
Helping Hands need volunteers to work Bingo.
The clinic receives approximately $250,000 a year from the Bingo parlor in Guthrie. Those funds help the clinic provide a much-needed service for our community's working uninsured.
Last year, Helping Hands Health Clinic assisted more than 1,850 people in nearly 4,000 visits. The clinic provided prescription medicine assistance that exceeded $2.2 million. The total value of services provided by the clinic to residents of Todd, Logan and Muhlenberg counties exceeds $2.6 million. I issue a plea to the citizens of Todd County to donate your time to assist with Bingo. The Charitable Gaming Commission in Frankfort has ruled that the volunteers must be from Kentucky so volunteers from Tennessee will no longer be able to do the work.
The people of Todd County need to look hard at volunteering to work Bingo because of the amount of funds it generates for the clinic and the impact the clinic has on the community. Bingo dollars are ensuring that working people without health care insurance receive no cost visits to a health provider, get diagnostic testing and receive reduced or no-cost prescription medicines. Bingo also has made it possible for Todd County to have a nice facility for some of our most vulnerable citizens -- our senior citizens. But again, volunteers are needed. Bingo provides much needed revenue to operate that program and facility as well.
The people in Todd County have always responded to a call for help and have taken pride in caring for our citizens. I know you will again. Because Todd Countians care, I am certain volunteers will step up to ensure that Helping Hands and the senior citizen programs continue to help the people who need help.

Todd County Adult Education program to receive funding

FRANKFORT - Senator Joey Pendleton, D-Hopkinsville, today commended the Todd County Adult Education program for meeting its 2006-2007 enrollment goal and at least 50 percent of its student performance measures. The Todd County Adult Education program qualified for $4,496 in Kentucky Adult Education (KYAE) Incentive Funding for meeting its goals. "Successful adult education programs across the Commonwealth are helping to develop more highly educated Kentuckians," Pendleton said. "The programs are reengaging adults in learning so that they and their families have a brighter future through education, better employment and a higher quality of life." The core mission of KYAE system is to raise the educational levels of eligible adults by providing instruction and services that lead to strong academic and literacy skills and GED attainment, which are the gateways to postsecondary education and highly skilled employment. Pendleton, who has served in the State Senate since 1993, represents the 3rd District which includes Christian, Todd and Logan counties.

$1.7 Million for Todd County water, sewer improvements

FRANKFORT - The state budget approved Tuesday includes $1.7 million to improve water and sewer service to Todd County, said Senator Joey Pendleton, D-Hopkinsville.

• Territory expansion by the Logan/Todd Water Commission, $600,000;
• Sewer lines for Trenton, $150,000.

"This is a good stewardship that will ensure the quality of water and improve the water services in Todd County," said Senator Joey Pendleton. "Providing reliable, clean and safe drinking water is a top priority.
"I am extremely proud of these projects. They are critical to the service to our citizens and growth of our community."
The projects announced this week are part of an ongoing statewide effort to improve water and sewer service. Legislators work closely with local officials in allocating dollars.
Senator Pendleton represents the 3rd district, which includes Christian, Logan and Todd counties. He has served in the State Senate since 1993.

Guthrie partners with University of Ky.

The city of Guthrie has partnered with the University of Kentucky to update its comprehensive plan. The county-wide project involving the city of Elkton, and Todd County began in September of 2008. The College of Design, including Dean Michael Speaks (noted for his work with scenario planning) and Clyde Carpenter (Preservation Director) will be spearheading the project with Matthew Colin Bailey. The recent interest in Guthrie by global industries seeking available industrial sites spurred the need for an updated plan which was sought in summer of 2008 by the Guthrie Planning & Zoning Board, the City Council, and Guthrie mayor Scott A. Marshall. The Guthrie Administration's goals are to provide protection for established developements while allowing new commerce, residents, and industry into the city without harming the valuable agricultural and natural resources in the area. The University of Kentucky's College of Design expects the plan to be completed by the end of Summer of 2009.

Repost: T.D. & Rowena Everett Building Dedication

Reverend T.D. Everett died on April 22nd, 2009. Obituary at LathamFuneralHome.com


------------------------------------------
Originally posted on October 14th, 2007.

Lindsey Wilson College dedicated a building on October 7th, 2007 in honor of Fairview residents T.D. & Rowena Everett. T.D. is a retired Methodist minister and a 1937 graduate of Lindsey Wilson and was president of the student body. He has been a university trustee since 1980.

The newly dedicated 5800-square-foot Everett Building was formerly the library at Lindsey but now has classrooms.

T.D. was quoted as saying, “This is one of the great days we have experienced in our lives. Throughout 70 years … I have known this college, and I have loved this college, and have prayed for this college. This college has grown from a very small college … but it has not reached its vision or maturation. This college has a bright future, a great future.”

Lindsey Wilson President William T. Luckey Jr. said of the Everetts, “It would be hard-pressed to find anyone with a stronger association with this college than Brother T.D. and Rowena.”
