Wilderness Trace
The first paths blazed through wilderness in central Kentucky were “traces” – notches axed into trees to make the route.

In 1775, Daniel Boone blazed a trail to Kentucky and with 30 axe men Read the rest of this entry »

Kentucky wineries brought home 32 medals, including two double golds and five golds, at the Indy International Wine Competition in West Lafayette, Indiana last week.
“Throughout the country, wine lovers are discovering what we already know: Kentucky’s wine industry is back,” Agriculture Commissioner Richie Farmer said.
Acres of Land Winery of Richmond earned double gold and Best of Class for its Concord wine (the second year in a row its Concord won Best of Class at Indy) along with a silver medal. Jean Farris Winery of Lexington picked up gold medals for its Petite Sirah (which also was Best of Class) and Cabernet Sauvignon as well as three bronze medals. Wight-Meyer Vineyard and Winery won double gold in the French-American Blush/Rosé class for its Diamond/Concord wine. Its Diamond wine earned a gold medal and Best of Class in the Diamond and American Late Harvest categories, and its Concord was a gold medal winner. The Shepherdsville winery also brought home four silver medals.

The problem that most people face isn’t their ability to meet a monthly payment. Heaven knows that they must meet this monthly obligation every 30 days already right now. The problem is accumulating enough cash to make a down payment on something bigger – with more elbow room and more permanent.
Saving for this lump sum doesn’t have to be as difficult as you might think. Consider the following 6 points:
We are offering some land for sale at 3% down – call. There are some local or federal government programs (such as 1st time buyer programs) to help people get into the housing market. You may qualify as a first time buyer even if you’ve owned before – or your spouse has owned a home before as long as your name was not registered. Make sure your real estate agent is informed and knowledgeable in this important area and can offer programs to help you with your options. An agent who is unaware of this aspect of financing can kill a deal – your dream – Read the rest of this entry »
We saw plenty of great FBO* stories this week, but none that wowed us so much as AVweb reader Liza Kummer’s story of above-and-beyond service at Danville/Boyle County Airport Board, located at Stuart Powell Field (KDVK) in Danville, Kentucky:
We landed late at night enroute from Penn to Texas and stayed at the fabulous Hampton Inn. The lady with Sharon’s Car Service — Danville did not have taxis — waited an hour for us at the airport! It looked like we were going to be unable to fly the next day because of a scary-looking squall line with forecasts of hail.
I called the Danville, KY FBO early in the morning and asked if they could hangar my plane. J.W. [Lynn] sent his son Nathan to the hotel to pick up the keys! After thoroughly researching the weather, we were able to plan a path to avoid all those nasty orange and red radar echoes and decided to forge on before the squall line hit.
J.W. sent Nathan back to retrieve us from the hotel! It was raining now, and they retrieved my plane from the corporate hangar, filled the tanks at the self-service for me, pulled the plane close to the FBO to avoid getting wet, handed me an umbrella for my pre-flight, and gave us bottles of water for the flight. We felt like royalty.
I could go on and on, but you get the picture. I’ll definitely plan a stop there on my next cross-country flight back to PA. Good luck to Nathan on getting his private pilot’s ticket. (Oh yeah, J.W. is also a CFI – Certified Flight Instructor)
* FBO Fixed Base Operator – is the primary provider of services to general aviation aircraft and operators located at or adjacent to an airport.
