Kentucky’s Oldest Town Lets Your Family Walk Through A Pioneer Fort, Sleep In A Historic Inn And Stroll Main Street

A full-size log fort sits a short walk from a working downtown in Kentucky. Kids can duck through its gates, peek inside cabins, and see how the first settlers lived. The fort is a reconstruction, but the ground under it carries real weight. Pioneers arrived here in 1774, before Kentucky was even a state.

Central KY deputy coroner charged with strangulation, assault

A former Central Kentucky fire chief and deputy coroner was arrested and charged with strangulation and assault last month. Gerald Tatum, 54, who worked as a deputy coroner for the Madison County Coroner’s Office, was charged on Oct. 18 with first-degree strangulation and fourth-degree assault with minor injury, according to a uniform citation filed by the Madison County Sheriff’s Department. Both charges were related to domestic violence. The citation said the victim had “multiple areas of bruising and scratching around her nose and mouth” and she said Tatum used his hands to apply pressure to her nose and mouth for what seemed like at least 10 minutes, impeding her ability to breathe. Tatum is a past fire chief for the Richmond Fire Department. Madison County Coroner Jimmy Cornelison, who provided surety for Tatum’s release on bond, said Tatum has since resigned from his position at the coroner’s office. Cornelison said Tatum “was a good employee for a long time.” Court records indicate Tatum was released on $5,000 cash bond the same day as his arrest. He was ordered to have no contact with the alleged victim in the case. A hearing is scheduled for Dec. 2 in Madison District Court.

Different days off for Fayette and Jessamine schools ‘play havoc' with families

Some families who have children attending schools in both Jessamine and adjoining Fayette County tell Jessamine School Board Chair Steven Scrivner that the districts having different days off “does play havoc.” So on Friday morning, Scrivner sent an email to his counterparts in Fayette County to see if the two districts can better align their fall and spring breaks and other days off going forward. “Many of our teachers and staff live in one county and work in the other. A number of families have children in both districts and youth sports draw from both communities. When our breaks fall on different weeks, those families end up arranging childcare and time off twice, and teams lose players for practices and games,” he said. Scrivner told the Herald-Leader that Jessamine County takes out-of-district students. If a family moves from Fayette to Jessamine County and has a high school student who wants to finish up at Fayette’s Paul Laurence Dunbar, their younger child might be newly enrolled in a Jessamine County middle school. He asked if leaders from the two districts could meet. By Friday afternoon, Fayette school board chairman Tyler Murphy had a response: “I spoke with our Interim Superintendent (Bill
