Governor Bevin Signs Acclamation Recognizing
Blue Grass Army Depot’s 75th Year
|
|
Kentucky Governor Matt Bevin, in a special ceremony on June 28 in the Capitol’s ornate and historic State Reception Room, presented Blue Grass Army Depot Commander Colonel Norb-ert A. Fochs with an Acclamation recognizing the 75th Anniversary of the Depot.
Before signing and presenting, Governor Bevin read aloud the Acclamation, which concluded with: “The establishment of the Blue Grass Army Depot in 1942 at the start of World War II has played a vital role in ensuring that our nation’s joint warfighters retain their dominance...and has a 75-year-history of great achievements and of stellar support for our nation’s joint military forces.”
“I’m more than thankful and appreciative of Governor Bevin taking the time to formally recognize the great achievements and sacrifices of those thousands of past and present workers who have served this great country,” said Fochs. “I’m honored to accept the Governor’s Acclamation on behalf of each and every one of those who have served our service men and women over the past 75 years. It is a special honor that will be remembered over the years to come.”
Other special guests at the signing included the Depot’s Deputy Commander Steve Sharp and Mili-tary Affairs Non-commissioned Officer-in-Charge and Iraqi War Veteran Sergeant First Class Andrew Dickson; District 71 State Representative Jonathan Shell; Madison County Judge Executive Reagan Taylor; and Retired Colonel Blaine Hedges, Executive Director of the Kentucky Commission on Military Affairs.
The Blue Grass Army Depot is a 15,000-acre installation located six miles south of Richmond, Ken-tucky. It is a multifunctional facility with the primary mission of shipping, receiving, storing, maintaining, refurbishing conventional munitions. The Depot also is the site for the Blue Grass Chemical Agent-destruction Pilot Plant where the destruction of the country’s final stockpile of chemical weapons is scheduled to begin in 2020.
College students should take advantage of their meal plan
Many colleges require students to have a meal plan, especially if they live on campus. Meal plans vary among colleges, but most will give students a certain number of dining hall meals per week. Students may also be able to add flex dollars to use at the campus food court or other locations. The larger the school is, the greater flexibility students may have.
Students who choose their meal plan carefully may be able to cut college costs by selecting the plan that is best for them, according to the Kentucky Higher Education Assistance Authority (KHEAA).
Most often, the meal plan will come out of students’ financial aid or their parents’ money if they’re footing the bill. Funds will be loaded on a card students swipe at on-campus cafeterias and restaurants.
Students can waste a lot of money eating off-campus and even rack up credit card debt by charging food. Most meals on campus are already paid for through the meal plan, so students should eat on campus as much as possible.
KHEAA is the state agency that administers Kentucky’s grant and scholarship programs, including the Kentucky Educational Excellence Scholarship (KEES). KHEAA provides financial literacy videos at http://itsmoney.kheaa.com.
KHEAA also provides free copies of “It’s Money, Baby,” a guide to financial literacy, to Kentucky schools and residents upon request at publications@kheaa.com.

A good admissions essay may mean more financial aid for college
Some colleges, especially private schools, require an essay as part of their admissions process for college freshmen. That essay may also help when it comes to paying for college, according to the Kentucky Higher Education Assistance Authority (KHEAA).
Generally, the more exclusive the college, the more important the essay may be in admissions and financial aid decisions.
Essays let schools learn more about students than just what the application shows. That gives writers a chance to set themselves apart.
Students should put time and effort into an admissions essay. Colleges want students who can express themselves clearly, using proper spelling, grammar and punctuation. It may take several drafts to get it right, but the essay needs to be well written and free of errors. Students should have a teacher, school counselor or parent review the essay before submitting it to the college. The better the essay, the better a student’s chance of being accepted at a top school.
KHEAA is the state agency that administers the Kentucky Educational Excellence Scholarship (KEES), need-based grants and other programs to help students pay their higher education expenses.
