 About 100 people attended a meeting March 19 at the Marion County Extension Office to discuss natural gas liquids (NGLs).

The Tennessee Gas Pipeline (which is owned by Kinder Morgan) has applied to abandon part of an existing natural gas pipeline with plans to convert it to carry NGLs.

 For the third year in a row, the world will have a front-row seat to a nesting pair of peregrine falcons, 300 feet up a smoke stack at the Mill Creek power plant in Louisville.

Louisville Gas and Electric Company and the Kentucky Department of Fish and Wildlife Resources the state's first peregrine falcon web cam inside the nest box in 2013. It's drawn nearly 200,000 viewers, and about 15,000 so far this year, LG&E said on Monday.

 After more than a decade of an 8:30 p.m. show time, “The Stephen Foster Story” and Salt River Electric production “All Shook Up” will start 30 minutes earlier in 2015. Both shows will begin at 8 p.m. at the J. Dan Talbott Amphitheatre in Bardstown this summer, with the house opening at 7:15 p.m. for seating.

An earlier start time is favorable for our motor coaches, groups, and individual audience members alike. One added benefit for guests will be a larger selection of dining options after the performance, as both shows will end at 10 p.m.
