If you have questions regarding your child’s car seat, the Elizabethtown Police Department has answers.
“The Elizabethtown Police Department is hosting a child seat inspection event where nationally-certified technicians will be on hand to help you install your child’s car seat or booster seat the right way, and find out if it’s time for a change,” said EPD Public Information Officer John Thomas.
The inspection event will be held Thursday from 1 to 3 p.m. at the Pritchard Community Center.
“According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, as many as half of all child safety seats are installed incorrectly,” Thomas said. “This is a free event. No appointment is necessary, so take this opportunity to protect what matters most. Make sure your child rides safe.”
The Hardin County Sheriff’s Office will also be on hand for the event as some of their deputies work towards their car seat technician certification. Check the EPD and sheriff’s office Facebook pages for more information.
Kentucky Fish and Wildlife has a new resource for the state’s deer and elk hunters.
The KFW, in collaboration with the Kentucky Fish and Wildlife Foundation, has launched the new KY Deer & Elk app. The KFW says this mobile tool “provides real-time hunting tools, planning support, and essential field information to enhance hunting experiences both in the field and during preparation at home.”
Among the app’s features are interactive maps, which provide hunters with detailed public property lines. The maps will be available even when cell service is unavailable. App users will also be able to build and save custom hunt plans that are tailored to specific counties.
The app provides a consolidated resource for information on local services including chronic wasting disease testing sites, processors, and taxidermists. Information on hunting licenses and telecheck information will also be available to reduce administrative hassles when hunters are in the field.
The KY Deer & Elk app is available on the Apple App Store and Google Play store. More information is available at fw.ky.gov.
