Ky. Transportation Cabinet sets snow and ice removal priorities for 2014-15 winter season

    The Kentucky Transportation Cabinet has established priority routes for snow and ice removal for the upcoming winter season in the 10 counties that make up the Department of Highways District 10.
Snow removal priority routes in Estill County are:
    Priority A: KY 52, KY 82, KY 1571 and portions of KY 89 and KY 499.
    Priority B: The remainder of KY 89, KY 213, portions of KY 594 and KY 851, KY 1457 and KY 1705.
    Priority C: All other routes.
    KYTC is responsible for keeping more than 1,800 miles of state-maintained roadway in the district passable in inclement weather. This amounts to nearly 3,800 lane-miles of highways that must be treated and plowed during each snowstorm. (One mile of two-lane road equals two lane-miles; one mile of four-lane highway equals four lane-miles). KYTC sets snow removal priorities according to the amount and nature of traffic on the routes within each individual county. Maps showing the snow removal priority routes may be viewed at http://go.usa.gov/gmDe.
    Priority A routes include major through routes and are those most heavily traveled in each county. They include parkways and other major arterial routes. Under normal winter weather conditions, the goal is for non-Interstate Priority A routes to be plowed and treated within two hours of the beginning of the storm, with the process repeated every two hours.
    Priority B routes include other important but lesser traveled routes in each county. The goal for plowing and treating these highways is every four hours.
    Other state-maintained roads not fitting into either of the two higher categories fall into Priority C. The goal for these roads is to plow them at least once every eight hours, and to treat problem areas in the same time span. In some cases, Priority C routes may not be completely treated until other higher priority routes are cleared.
    These turnaround times are goals established in Transportation Cabinet policy, but individual circumstances relating to each weather event may impact whether or not these goals are achieved. Plowing and treating schedules may be impacted by the severity of the storm or other factors. During light snowfalls, crews may be able to treat all roads within a county more rapidly. Heavier snows, or varying weather conditions in different areas of each county, may impact this schedule.
    "Last year was a challenge for our snow removal team,” said Corbett Caudill, chief district engineer for the Department of Highways District 10. “We had more snow and colder temperatures than we have had for the past several years, and by the end of winter, we were running low on salt. We learned several lessons last winter that we will apply to our snow removal efforts this year. Our crews have already responded to a couple of light snowfalls, so we are ready for the worst of winter when we will get more frequent and heavier snows.”
    “The Transportation Cabinet recognizes how important roadway conditions are to Kentucky motorists,” Caudill continued. “We are dedicated to keeping state highways clear and safe for travel. Our snow removal crews will work long, hard hours during the winter to keep our highways passable."
    "We ask drivers to be patient during snow removal operations," Caudill added. "Drivers should slow down, keep an eye out for snowplows, and remember to buckle up to ensure their safety. Our crews will work as fast as they can to clear the highways."
    Again this year, District 10 will use Twitter and Facebook to provide updates on road conditions when weather-related emergencies occur. These social media outlets are available on home computers and Internet-enabled smartphones.
    “Every winter, the number of our social media followers grows,” Caudill said. “Several media outlets in our area forward our road condition reports to their own followers, which helps spread the word and aids travelers during bad weather. We urge motorists to check these sources before they leave home to know the status of our highways during winter weather events.”
    Motorists may also dial 511 to hear traffic and travel information. Signs have been erected throughout the 10 counties of District 10 to promote the 511 service.

Wilma Jean Whitener, 82

    Wilma Jean Whitener, age 82, died Tuesday, January 13, 2015.
    What a joyful day! Can you hear God’s heavenly choir. Our Mother’s voice premiered in Heaven, January 13, 2015. Fellow choir members include the voice of Logan Whitener, her husband of 62 years. Mom dons her choir robe with her parents, John and Pearl Cox, along with her brothers and sisters who preceded her. What a lovely addition to sing everlasting songs of Love and Praise.
    Our Mother was born at home in West Irvine, Kentucky, on November 21, 1932. She was a homemaker and mother to two typical boys, Gary and David. We drove her hair to gray prematurely from constant reminders of “starving children in China,” along with pleas to remember to put the toilet seat down. Contributing to her gray hair are her four grandchildren, Logan Whitener, Ashley McNeal, and McKenzie and Roman Whitener. Also left behind are her sister, Effie, who grayed without assistance from us, and her daughters-in-law, Cathy Whitener and Cindy Cheek. From her new home, Mom becomes guardian angel in waiting for her great granddaughter, Maddelynn Rene McNeal, to be born later this week.
    Our family would like to extend heartfelt thanks to the support and nursing staff at Westminster Village for their professional and loving care of our Mother. Better care could not be found, even by kin.
    There was a celebration of her life held at Beanblossom-Cesar Funeral Home in Corydon from 1:00 – 5:00 p.m., Friday, January 16, 2015, with her funeral service to follow at 5:00 p.m..

Charles Edward Vanhuss, 91

     Charles Edward Vanhuss, age 91, died Saturday, January 10, 2015 at Irvine Health and Rehabilitation Center in Irvine, Kentucky, after a short illness.
    If a task needed to be done in the cities of Irvine and Ravenna, there was one man for the job -- Charlie Vanhuss.
    He was born July 31, 1923 in Ravenna and was preceded in death by his parents, Elijah Thomas and Fay McElroy Vanhuss and a brother, John Thomas Vanhuss. Charlie attended school at Ravenna Elementary and Irvine High School until he was forced to drop out in 1941 to provide for his family after the death of his father. Even though he didn't get to graduate with his class, he returned and graduated from Irvine High School in 1948.
    He was very committed to his community. He served as Scoutmaster of Troop 144 for 25 years, produced 43 Eagle Scouts and was consequently awarded the Silver Beaver Award, scouting's highest honor for distinguished service. Charlie was a very active member of the Ravenna Christian Church as an elder, Sunday School teacher, board member and lay minister. He served as a member of the Ravenna City Council and as Mayor Pro Tem. He was recognized for his heroic actions during the destructive tornado that hit Ravenna in 1961. He was the Chairman of the Democratic Party in Estill County and was inducted into the Permanent Roll of Honor of the Democratic National Committee in 1956. He was a Legion of Honor member of Kiwanis International and had more than 50 years of perfect attendance in the local club. He helped organize the Estill County Chamber of Commerce in 1947, the Estill County Sesquicentennial Celebration in 1958, the Ravenna Fire Department; and he wrote a column for the Citizen Voice and Times newspaper.
    In 2008, the city of Ravenna crated the "Charles E. Vanhuss Park" in recognition of his service to the community of Ravenna.
    He was employed by the L & N Railroad Company, the Humble Oil Company of Houston, Texas and worked for the Ravenna Drug Store for over 46 years. He retired in 1991 from the store and now leaves his beloved community with the respect and love of his many friends and of all those that he lent a helping hand.
    Visitation was held at the Ravenna Christian Church from 6:00 – 9:00 p.m. on Tuesday, January 13 and again at the church from 9:00 a.m. until 1:00 p.m. on Wednesday, January 14, followed by funeral services at 1:00 p.m. at the church.
