2005 Kentucky Derby Odds
Kentucky State Police: News Release
Date of Release: 05/04/05 (FRANKFORT, Ky.)- Motorists traveling in and around Louisville during the Kentucky Derby this weekend need to keep a close eye on their odds while on the road. With traffic levels on the rise, they'll experience a crowded field that could affect how they finish. Experts say the smart money is on reduced speeds, increased seat belt use and sobriety. Trying to beat these odds is risky. Think you can survive in any traffic crash? Don't bet on it. Kentucky State Police, Louisville Metro Police and Kentucky Vehicle Enforcement officers will be out in force beginning Friday, May 6 through Sunday, May 8. Patrolling the major roadways leading into Jefferson County, including I-64, I-71 and I-75, their goals will be to decrease collisions, injuries and fatalities by reducing travel speeds, encouraging seat belt use and getting impaired drivers off the road.

Students free books into the 'wild' for literacy (Wendy Turner's sophomore advanced English students at Paul Laurence Dunbar have purposely abandoned books or “released” them into the "wild" through an international program called BookCrossing.com. A few clicks on the Internet, and one can discover the original owner of a particular book and where it has been by typing in the code on its inside cover. There is also an opportunity to give feedback on its contents, letting the owner know the book has been "caught." Dozens of Turner's 82 students have jumped on board with the program. There's an added incentive: they receive extra credit for each book they register. The idea for BookCrossing.com began in 2001 with Ron Hornbaker, the president and CTO of the Web site's parent company, Humankind Systems. Since then, more than 347,903 people worldwide have been captured by it and are constantly registering and releasing a wealth of literature -- from children ... [Read More]

2005 Fishing Prospects at Selected Missouri Lakes and Streams
This popular 1,000 acre reservoir just east of Maryville will continue to provide excellent angling opportunities for many species in 2005. Largemouth bass densities are still very high in Mozingo Lake. Spring electrofishing in 2004 did reveal however, that the number fish over 15 inches continues to improve, showing that the 12-15” protected slot is working. By allowing and encouraging the harvest of fish less than 12”, the remaining bass should continue to exhibit increased growth rates, resulting in higher catch rates of desirable-sized bass. Fish the submersed brush piles, rocky points, and rip rap banks to find fish. Crappie fishing in Mozingo Lake is second only to bass in popularity, and 2005 looks to be no different. Limits of crappie from 9 to 15 inches are common for those anglers targeting the tasty panfish. Try small minnows in the shallow timber in the spring, and use your locator to find suspended schools in deep water in the fall. Bluegill fishing will ... [Read More]
