Battle of Perryville Commemoration
named a Top 20 Event in the U.S.
PERRYVILLE, Ky. - The Battle of Perryville Commemoration re-enactment and festival has been named a Top 20 Event in the United States by the Southeast Tourism Society for October 2013.
The Southeast Tourism Society is a non-profit organization dedicated to promoting and developing tourism throughout the Southeast region of the U.S.
Focusing on preservation and education, the Perryville commemoration features reenactments of Civil War battles, historical tours, living history encampments, ghost walks, a parade, street dancing, open fire cooking, picnics, a craft fair and flea market.
"The Main Street Perryville Commemoration Committee was honored to learn that we were voted one of the Top 20 Events to attend in 2013 by the Southeast Tourism Society," said Vicki Goode, executive director of Main Street Perryville. "The downtown re-enactment has continued to attract more visitors to our festival each year. Last year, the addition of "A Taste Of 1862" dinner and dance was hugely successful, and it will become an annual feature of the event. We look forward to another great year."
Events and festivals across the Southeast region of the U.S. compete to receive the Top 20 Events designation. Through a nomination process, Southeast Tourism Society chooses the Top 20 events in the Southeast for each month of the year and publishes the list of winners quarterly. The Top 20 Events publication is sent to more than 1,600 newspapers, magazines, radio stations, TV stations, AAA publications and more.
According to the Southeast Tourism Society website, to be considered for the Top 20 designation, independent judges evaluate nominations to identify 20 events across the region for each month of the year. Selection as a Top 20 Event is a validation of an event's quality and a distinction that events use effectively in their ongoing marketing and publicity.
The event was nominated for the designation by the Danville-Boyle County Convention and Visitors Bureau.
"This is a great honor for Perryville to receive this designation from one of the premier tourism organizations in the Southeast," said Jennifer Kirchner, executive director of the Convention and Visitors Bureau. "The battlefield and Merchants Row are unique attractions in our county, and it's important to highlight our piece of U.S. history. This annual celebration allows us to welcome visitors from all over the country."
This year's commemoration will be Oct. 5-6.
Joni House, preservation coordinator for the Perryville Battlefield State Historic Site, said this year's re-enactment will be smaller than last year's sesquicentennial celebration.
"This year's commemoration will focus on the life of the soldier. Civil War soldiers were only in combat about five days a year. The rest of the time they spent drilling and living in camp with their comrades," House said. "There will be numerous educational programs demonstrating what the typical soldier's day consisted of during the Civil War."
House said there will also be speakers discussing various topics related to the war.
"'The Hard Hand of War' is the new museum exhibit, which illustrates the aftermath of the battle," House said. "There are numerous rare artifacts that are on exhibit until November including the personal possessions of Dr. Robert McMeens, who was the surgeon of the 3rd Ohio Volunteer Infantry. McMeens literally worked himself to death tending to the wounded - he died at Perryville on Oct. 30, 1862."

LRC eNews release
For Immediate Release
July 25, 2013
Lawmakers briefed on cybersecurity concerns
FRANKFORT – Cybersecurity is now considered a top safety concern in our state and nation, members of the Interim Joint Committee on State Government were told yesterday.
State governments have recently been targeted by cyber criminals because of the large amount of personal information they store, Harry Raduege, Chair of the Deloitte Center for Cyber Innovation, told lawmakers. "States really have the most comprehensive information about citizens,” he said.
Raduege said the loss of such sensitive information not only impacts citizens’ trust, but could also negatively impact state business by affecting services to constituents and creating unplanned spending.
A 2011 study estimated that a data breach costs $194 per record, Tom Pageler, Chief Information Security Officer for Docusign, said. One breach could cost state government tens of millions of dollars, he said.
According to Pageler, hackers are becoming more organized, invasive and advanced in their attacks. "The risk is increasing every day,” he said.
The increased risk calls for more diligence in protecting information in the ever-changing cyber environment, Pageler said. He encourages advanced encryption of all data stored electronically as one of the best safeguards against cyber fraud of state government.
State Auditor Adam Edelen told lawmakers that encryption of all state data is part of the Commonwealth Office of Technology’s business plan and should be complete in three years. Some of the state’s data is already encrypted, he said.
In response to a question from Sen. Joe Bowen, R-Owensboro, about the cost of cybersecurity, Edelen told lawmakers the process can be expensive, but is still significantly cheaper than dealing with a security breach after it happens.
Edelen asked lawmakers to consider legislation in the 2014 session that would mandate individuals be contacted anytime their personal information is compromised. Kentucky is only one of four states that doesn’t have a breach notification law, he said.
Committee co-chair Rep. Brent Yonts, D-Greenville, said he was interested in pursuing cyber security legislation.
"This affects not only every aspect of state government, but also our personal lives,” he said. "I believe you’ve got our attention.”

FRANKFORT, Ky.: Tea party activist to take on Sen. Mitch McConnell | Business | www.kentucky.com
www.kentucky.com/2013/07/23/2727572/bevin-no-longe....html
"Republican state Rep. Mike Harmon, who ran as a tea party candidate for lieutenant governor in 2011, said Kentucky needs McConnell's clout in Washington"
A few years ago I ran an ad in a newspaper that said "Mike spent many a fun filled summer day at his grandparents farm." However, later this same quote was used in a direct mail piece with 1 word was changed. many became most. When my Mom saw she jokingly asked, "Did we just drop you off at the beginning of summer and pick you up at the end?"
That is kind of what happen in this article. I am quoted as saying most Tea Party people support McConnell. That is not exactly what I said if memory serves me. As I recall the passing comment, I was asked if I was going to support Matt Bevin since I had received the Tea Party endorsement as Lt. Governor in 2011. I indicated I had endorsed McConnell long ago and even though I know we may not agree on everything I know he is best positioned to help both Kentucky and the United States. I also went on to say that I appreciate all the Tea Party has done for me, for this state and this nation. In conclusion, I indicated I would support the Republican nominee regardless.
Although not part of our conversation, I would also congratulate Tea Party members (of which I consider myself a part) because their dedication has aided in moving McConnell much closer to the core philosophies of the Tea Party, a change I believe to be sincere. I may be wrong, but that is how I view it.
McConnell is not perfect, but neither am I. I'm a SSBG. "Sinner Saved By Grace" However, much like UK struggled last year with talent, but no experience, Republican Matt Bevin if he pulled the upset of the year in the primary, would be a long shot in the General and it would take only one blip like losing Noel to effectively end his season. McConnell has the experience to make adjustments to win and in this time in our history, maintaining our current Republican Senators and hopefully picking up several more has never been more important to the future health of this nation.

You know I have thought and been asked as well in the past, "How can we provide incentive for State/Federal workers including politicians to reduce debt and spend money wisely." It struck me this morning and I haven't run the numbers, but I wonder if a formula could be designed that the percentage of raise for workers would be tied directly to the percentage of debt reduction minus the percentage of any tax increases?" Of course in order to keep the system from being gamed, after the first increase would probably need to tie a decrease to the opposite as to not encourage flipping back and forth every other year.

Fight Continues to Protect Our
Individual Freedoms As We Celebrate
Independence Day
FRANKFORT,
Ky. (June 28, 2013)–“We
hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.” – Thomas Jefferson
As we prepare for Independence Day, we should stop, pause, and
look back to the original documents of our history. For many years we have been taught that the Declaration of Independence was drafted because of ‘taxation without
representation,’ and that was a small part of it. If we review the actual document we find that this issue was only one of twenty-seven grievances listed in the Declaration of Independence. Eleven addressed the abuse of representative powers; seven the abuse of military powers; four the abuse of judicial powers; and two the stirring up of domestic insurrection. (For a full review of many historical documents go to wallbuilders.com)
On July 4, 1776, the members of the First Continental Congress set
into motion the establishment of a free nation, a government for the people, by the people. Since that time we’ve seen
our great nation rise as a beacon of hope and freedom for those in our own country and around the world.
President
Abraham Lincoln pushed for passage of the Emancipation Proclamation, setting the wheels in motion to grant rights and freedoms to an entire race that had been persecuted. It was a fight carried on by people like Martin Luther King, Jr., whose push in the South helped the Civil Rights Act of 1964 become law.
Susan
B. Anthony fought for years as an American citizen, and through an organization she co-founded, the National Woman Suffrage Association, to afford women the same right as men to have their voices heard. Anthony was even arrested and tried by the federal government in 1872 because she had voted in that year’s election. Her trial and subsequent work eventually led to passage of the 19th Amendment to the Constitution in 1920.
Lincoln,
King and Anthony are three examples of how Americans, both well known and not so known, have worked and sacrificed to make sure the freedoms our forefathers spelled out in the Declaration of Independence remain strong and true for everyone.
Recently
there have headlines spelling out allegations of infringements by the federal government by agencies like the Internal Revenue Service and the National Security Agency. Like Lincoln and Anthony before us, it is essential those in positions of leadership and citizens join together to make sure our freedoms are
protected from the overreach of those who seek to take them away. It is proof positive as we celebrate this Independence Day that the fight for our rights and freedoms must go on and we must ever be mindful of the concerns of our Founders to preserve this special nation.

throughout the year impacting our Commonwealth. I can be reached through the toll-free message line in Frankfort at 1-800-372-7181, or you can contact me via e-mail at mike.harmon@lrc.ky.gov. You

"Those who pursue power purely for power's sake shall eventually perish in their pursuits" Try saying that 5 times fast.
