Kentucky crews manage icy roads, ahead of more winter weather
Kentucky crews manage icy roads, ahead of more winter weather By Samantha Johnson | February 10, 2021 at 7:45 PM CST - Updated February 10 at 7:45 PM
OWENSBORO, Ky. (WFIE) - Crews have been treating the roads for days, but even that could not prevent slide offs and wrecks in our western Kentucky counties on Wednesday.
Officials at the Daviess County Garage say they started treating the roads with brine on Monday, followed by two consecutive days of salt.
“There are so many variables,” says Daviess County Engineer Mark Brasher. “Is it snow? Is it sleet? Is it ice? You treat them all a little bit different. What is the temperature of the road?”
Instead, Brashear said, itâs a calling and an opportunity to spread Christian ministry.
âWeâve had people come in and say, âI donât know what Iâd do without your message on the radio,â â he said. âHav(ing) an opportunity to chat with them and hear the impact weâve had in their lives â thatâs what I hang my hat on.â
Brashear said KCMM-FM is âset apartâ as a Galley Valley Christian radio station, which will mark its 20th anniversary in February.
The station got its start in Manhattan as a spin-off of the AM station KGVW. It then primarily featured weather, agricultural reports, and Bible-based programs before moving to its current location in Belgrade. Brashear said the goal was to introduce a Christian music station to the area that would also appeal to a younger demographic.
At its 5 p.m. meeting Thursday on the second floor at the Daviess County Courthouse, Daviess Fiscal Court took up the following agenda items:
⢠Approved an MOA between the Commonwealth of Kentucky, Office of the Governor, Department for Local Government, Office of Federal Grants and Daviess County for the Daviess County CRF Reimbursement Project
⢠Heard and approved the Treasurerâs Financial Statement for November 2020
⢠Approved all claims for all departments
⢠Heard and approved the Daviess Clerkâs Claim for Preparing 2020 Tax Bills
⢠Approved Resolution 33-2020 â Alcoholic Beverage Control Matters
⢠Approved awarding Bid No. 47-2020: Control Replacement for Courtroom Video (IT)
