From the News Edge: Transportation officials are reporting a traffic backup along the westbound lanes of I-24 in the work zone from near the Kentucky-Tennessee State Line to the Fort Campbell Boulevard exit. The contractor is pouring concrete as part of ongoing pavement rehabilitation work around the 89-mile marker, near the Pembroke-Oak Grove exit. While concrete trucks are moving in and out of this work area delivering material, the traffic backup appears to be more related to heavy traffic along the westbound lanes today. Westbound I-24 traffic in this work zone is backed up about 3 to 4 miles at this time with traffic slowed to about 35 mph in the area. To help reduce traffic congestion in this area, regular commuters who normally travel this section of I-24 westbound are being asked to seek an alternate route, if possible...............................................................................................................................A Night With The Blues is Saturday night at the Alhambra Theatre.

HCC Named Military Friendly School

For the fourth year in a row, Hopkinsville Community College has been named as a Military Friendly School, by Victory Media. The 2013 Military Friendly Schools list honors the top 15 percent of colleges, universities and trade schools in the country that are doing the most to embrace America’s military service members, veterans, and spouses as students, and to ensure their educational success.

Hopkinsville Community College has a campus housed at Fort Campbell. More than one in three HCC students are active duty, veteran, or a military family member. In an effort to provide another aspect of service to the military student, HCC has launched a Veterans Program with resource facilities at both the Hopkinsville and Fort Campbell campuses.

HCC President Jim Selbe has outlined the college’s 50-year vision, with the military as one of the college’s main areas of focus.
