SUMMARY: The Hardin County Sheriff’s Office addressed concerns about door-to-door solicitors claiming to represent Terminix. There are two Terminix offices: a national one, which reportedly does not have representatives or conduct door-to-door business locally, and a local Bowling Green office that uses contracted employees who have been soliciting in the area. The sheriff’s office has contacted the district manager, emphasizing that solicitors must leave immediately if asked. Residents encountering aggressive or harassing solicitors should contact the Hardin County Sheriff’s Office at 270-765-5133 or 911 if unsafe. Concerns about Terminix can be reported to the local office at 270-391-4569. The district manager confirms salesmen are no longer operating in Hardin County.

SUMMARY: In April, Frankfort’s historic public library suffered severe flooding, with water engulfing the parking garage and damaging elevators and books. Executive Director Gene Roark described the scene as surreal, likening it to a war zone. Despite extensive damage and nearly three months needed to restore elevator service, the library remained a vital community hub. Staff implemented a drive-thru book service, maintaining patron support and morale during closures. The building, designed to withstand major floods due to its Kentucky River location, is now fully operational. Roark hopes the library’s recovery serves as a model for resilience in future crises.

While the water has receded and Kentucky’s capital city has returned to normal, it goes without saying that a lot of work was done to get to this next chapter.
