It's not normal to be a head coach in the NFL at the age of 73 It is perhaps unprecedented for a franchise to hire a head coach who will turn 74 during the season after said coach took one year off from coaching everything about him that makes him not normal it's the exact thing the Raiders have been missing since the early 2000s and that's why he's not the right man Carroll has been teaching at USC, the school he won National Championships with and Rich Eisen got a chance to sit in on one of Carroll's final lectures Eisen said Carroll's classroom brought him to tears "I have never witnessed in two hours what I witnessed in Pete Carroll's class Eisen stated that Carroll's class was about teaching "being true to one's self and being open and sharing with others about your world and your abilities to connect with yourself and show emotion and being comfortable with knowing who you are it can be a powerful way to connect with other people and create a team environment." Eisen went on to say that students spoke about their experiences in this class One student stated that he was the victim of a car accident that likely should have taken his life that student stated the class changed his life as he was struggling with reconnecting with the world Another student stated the class helped him find his love for music again as he had lost it while being a musical major on the verge of graduation All those lessons Carrol taught, those are the one's he's teaching the Raiders right now Congratulations Raider nation, you have found your head coach.

responsibility to carry that name in a way that would make my family proud they can say my name without it triggering a connection to something awful This is why you have not met anyone named Adolf Hitler Smith If your daughter told you she was engaged to a guy named Ted Bundy you would insist on a serious background check the name Hussein means “good” or “beautiful.” But in 2003 Iraqi President Saddam Hussein was convicted of crimes against humanity and was sentenced to death by hanging Obama’s political opponents would often refer to him by his full name hoping the “Hussein” baggage would influence voters Back when the United States of America was still somewhat united parents would frequently name their child after a popular president My grandfather was Grover Cleveland Norris I knew some men named after Woodrow Wilson and Franklin Roosevelt I can’t say that I’ve met anyone named after Lyndon Baines Johnson Richard Milhous Nixon or William Jefferson Clinton Nor does it seem that are very many Georges or Baracks these days According to recent surveys of popular baby names Joe and Donald are not high on the list either Names are also important if you are selling a product and compiled a list of the most trusted brand names the top-ranked brands are generally believed to be the actual product how many times have you asked for a Kleenex instead of a facial tissue I’m sure the company that makes Puffs fights that battle every day Kleenex is said to be the most trusted brand name in the nation Customers believe they can always count on it My dermatologists have recommended Vaseline for healing skin for many decades I’ve never heard them use the term “petroleum jelly.” The pain relievers ibuprofen and acetaminophen come in various forms and brand names But some marketing geniuses have done their jobs We are far more likely to ask for an Advil or a Tylenol Coca-Cola committed one of the most notorious marketing mistakes in history The company basically trashed one of the most successful trusted brands in the world and tried to convince us that “New Coke” was better than the original We voted “NO” with our taste buds and within months plain old “Coke” resumed its rightful place on top of the cola world Sometimes I have a craving for a grape Coke Also high on the trusted brands list are Band-Aids and Scotch tape is transparent adhesive tape

Seattle Seahawks head coach, is now the head coach with the Las Vegas Raiders a franchise that has a ton of ties to the USC football program Pete Carroll is set to continue teaching his class there at the university Then you factor in the amount of USC players that have played for the Raiders over the years and even the guys that are on the roster right now like Isaiah Pola-Mao The Raiders have a few USC players on their rookie mini-camp invites and even some UDFAs that they have signed Defensive backs Greedy Vance and John Humphrey played at USC last season and are joining the Raiders as UDFAs being given a chance at a roster spot for the 2025 season Raiders invite USC WR Kyle Ford to rookie minicampKyle Ford was a wide receiver for the USC Trojans and had a notable six-year college football career Ford was a five-star recruit from Orange Lutheran High School Ford joined USC in 2019 but faced challenges with injuries and limited playing time in a competitive receiver group Ford accumulated 88 receptions for 1,190 yards and nine touchdowns Ford didn't play in 2020 due to the COVID season but played enough football in the other five seasons to have some pretty good experience entering rookie minicamp and could serve as a weapon on the practice squad if all goes well He has some tools that Pete Carroll and the Raiders coaching staff likely love Even though the Raiders are in Las Vegas, and were in Oakland before that, it still feels like they have more ties to USC than both the Los Angeles Chargers and the Los Angeles Rams (WZTV) — A former FBI electronics technician

on social media Fans have clamored online for the return of purple which the club ditched as a primary color in 2006 when it opted for a red remodel The D-backs have occasionally worn purple throwback

he and his allies lied that the United States was being invaded by immigrants and that all manner of cruelty was justified in repelling them; he literally vowed to rule like a dictator his first term had demonstrated his complete and unalterable obsession with his narrow personal interests as opposed to anything resembling the public good — the most catastrophic example being his willingness to cause excess deaths in the hundreds of thousands because he thought that sounding the alarm on covid and taking appropriate precautions would hurt his re-election chances though: Trump’s 2024 campaign and his many declarations of war against democracy and the rule of law were themselves rooted not simply in his first presidency and a desire for re-election but very much grew out of his January 6 insurrection and related illegal efforts to overthrow the 2024 election results and our democratic order he spent the last four years both in fear of being punished for his crimes against the nation and doing everything he could to subvert our politics and our justice system to prevent being brought to justice he pressured most GOP elected official to accept the Big Lie that Trump had actually won in 2024; that Democrats had stolen the election through suborning millions of illegal immigrants to cast votes; and that January 6 was not an insurrection but a completely legal and justified effort to make good his claim on the presidency he didn’t run a campaign so much as continue his insurrection with the goal not to govern as a president to transform the Oval Office into an anvil against which he could smite his enemies while corruptly hoovering up billions of dollars from corrupt dealings Donald Trump could not have made it any clearer that he was an unrepentant enemy of the United States that he would not hesitate to act illegally to maximize his personal power over the federal government and that undermining and destroying the rule of law was essential to his vision for America Flash forward three months and change from his inauguration and the pace of his attack on America democracy and freedoms has been as frenzied as it has been wholly predictable he pardoned the January 6 insurrectionists thereby endorsing their criminality and insurrectionary spirit as his own and unleashed the Department of Justice to drum up false charges against those he considers his enemies He has blackmailed leading law firms into committing to the MAGA cause and leading universities into complicity with a right-wing cultural purge The DOGE initiative led by Elon Musk has wrecked vast segments of the federal government that had been put in place on behalf of the American people by previous democratically-elected governments Trump has decimated much of what the citizenry had built for itself to advance the common good from a Department of Education that helped children otherwise left behind by their local school systems to the capacity to serve veterans who have protected our country to medical research and institutions that safeguard the public health more examples of his assault on the country we have all collectively built as if they were actual enemies of America; crucially he has denied them due process rights in a way that directly threatens the rights of every American citizen against arbitrary punishment by the government so that his war on immigrants has become inseparable from a larger war on the rights of Americans he has set about wrecking our NATO alliance while taking the side of Russia in its genocidal war against Ukraine by deranged talk of annexing that country and making it the 51st state He has threatened our collective and individual wealth by implementing a chaotic extremist tariff regime that has severely undermined the world’s faith in the U.S.’s role atop the world financial system and raised the prospect of recession if not a far more dangerous destabilization of the world economy and other influential members of civil society directly in the line of fire of Trump’s authoritarian onslaught began to exhibit a strange and sinister disposition Rather than calling out the utter predictability of Trump’s actions and condemning them as a breach of his pledge to uphold the Constitution — the insane executive orders security by siding with Russia against Ukraine and our European allies — they instead began endorsing the supposed inevitability of Trump’s successful seizure of illicit power They began to behave as if he were already more of a dictator than a president that such a state of affairs was simply to be endured the rest of us) had best accommodate themselves to this new reality They both tacitly acknowledged the primary lesson of the last several years — that Trump is a man who wants to be a dictator and will try to be a dictator — and skipped right ahead to assenting to Trump being a dictator Close the Camps Protest, San Francisco. July 2, 2019. Photo: Thomas Hawk/Creative CommonsThis piece was previously published at The Hot Screen I am driven to note \u2014 for my own peace of mind for the possibility that it may resonate with some readers \u2014 how terribly predictable this century of days has been as opposed to anything resembling the public good \u2014 the most catastrophic example being his willingness to cause excess deaths in the hundreds of thousands because he thought that sounding the alarm on covid and taking appropriate precautions would hurt his re-election chances though: Trump\u2019s 2024 campaign and his many declarations of war against democracy and the rule of law were themselves rooted not simply in his first presidency and a desire for re-election he didn\u2019t run a campaign so much as continue his insurrection extremist tariff regime that has severely undermined the world\u2019s faith in the U.S.\u2019s role atop the world financial system and raised the prospect of recession and other influential members of civil society directly in the line of fire of Trump\u2019s authoritarian onslaught began to exhibit a strange and sinister disposition Rather than calling out the utter predictability of Trump\u2019s actions and condemning them as a breach of his pledge to uphold the Constitution \u2014 the insane executive orders security by siding with Russia against Ukraine and our European allies \u2014 they instead began endorsing the supposed inevitability of Trump\u2019s successful seizure of illicit power They both tacitly acknowledged the primary lesson of the last several years \u2014 that Trump is a man who wants to be a dictator and will try to be a dictator \u2014 and skipped right ahead to assenting to Trump being a dictator If you wanted to be extremely charitable, you could say that a desire to protect what they had, avoid provoking Trump, and batten down in the hope of better times motivated the collaborationist spirit (M. Gessen has an insightful column drawing from their experience of the Putin regime in Russia of what motivates people to go along with a corrupt government) But no such charity should be extended to those in the Democratic Party who not only counseled accommodation but talked about the U.S.\u2019s alleged hard shift to the right and about a non-existent massive defeat for the Democrats as if everything the party stood for had been fully rejected by the American people some even argued that the Democrats had spent too much time emphasizing the defense of democracy and demonizing Donald Trump\u2019s authoritarian aims when in reality the only failure in this regard was the failure to make concrete for the American people how much they stood to lose \u2014 in terms of freedoms in terms of personal security \u2014 if a confirmed insurrectionist like Trump were to assume the Oval Office It was jaw-dropping for high-ranking Democrats to view the victory of a man who literally tried to overthrow the U.S government \u2014 including by the incitement of a violent mob whose members likely would have killed many of said Democrats had they been able \u2014 as a time for compromise rather than unbending resistance to the lawless regime that was so obviously about to erupt The horror of such political misjudgment registers even more powerfully today when Trump has for a hundred days acted exactly like that man who tried to overturn the election results more than four years ago and whose goal is clearly to attain dictatorial power over the American government But while many of our elites have failed us miserably ordinary Americans have not been nearly so quick to accept Trump\u2019s misrule as normal Recent public opinion polls that show sharply declining support for Donald Trump \u2014 including in the areas of immigration and the economy which have arguably previously helped provide a floor to his popularity \u2014 are deeply heartening particularly so early in his administration and in the face of so much elite-level surrender While I would not go so far as to say that Americans have collectively awakened to the full scope of his authoritarian ambitions I would say that they are starting to notice and object to their consequences The more that Americans can see the through-line between the reality of Trump\u2019s first term and his return to the White House to seal the authoritarian deal the faster and more effectively will they be able to organize and act to counter him We are not starting from zero here; we can look at Trump\u2019s history to grasp how much danger we\u2019re in; we are under no obligation to give him the benefit of the doubt Trump tried to overthrow our democracy and the rule of law four years ago; unchanged and now unchained he has returned to office to finish the job Subscribe now Fordham University will award honorary doctorates of humane letters to two transformative Catholic higher education leaders: Joseph M president emerita of Dominican University and president of the Association of Catholic Colleges and Universities (ACCU) The commencement speaker award-winning film and television actress and Fordham alumna Regina Hall will receive an honorary doctorate of fine arts at the ceremony Commencement will be a homecoming for Father McShane who served as the 32nd president of Fordham and ushered in a new era for the University through his inspired leadership He was a tireless ambassador for Jesuit education who boldly pursued his ambitions for Fordham while remaining personally humble and focused on students.  the number of endowed chairs more than tripled the University established more than 400 new scholarship funds His legacy of new construction projects at the University is exemplified by the Joseph M which formally opened at the Rose Hill campus in early 2022 and by the new Fordham Law School building and residence hall—McKeon Hall—that opened in 2014 at the Lincoln Center campus His presidency saw Fordham grow from a respected regional institution to a national university with a strong international reputation Father McShane served in leadership roles for 25 years at Fordham including his 19 years as president and his previous six years as dean of Fordham College at Rose Hill He also served on the religious studies faculty at LeMoyne College in Syracuse he spent five years as president of the University of Scranton where today he serves as superior of the Scranton Jesuit Community Father McShane has served on the boards of numerous civic and educational organizations and Jesuit universities Carroll served for 27 years as the first lay president of Dominican University in Illinois providing leadership that propelled dramatic change throughout the institution: a doubling of the full-time faculty a four-fold increase in the operating budget and the creation of a state-of-the-art science building Carroll also led the process of adopting the current name of the university News & World Report for social mobility as Carroll bolstered the university’s commitment to educating first-generation students nationally recognized advocate for the rights of undocumented students and the cause of immigration reform Earlier in her career Carroll worked at Fordham before going to Dominican as president in 1994;

"This average age may not mean much in terms of the talent each team selected Especially when you consider it isn't weighted for draft position a 25-year-old sixth round pick will be seen in the same light as a 25-year-old first round pick And that's important because the late rounds are where you take flyers on prospects with flaws such as being old enough to have already played a full NFL rookie contract the Raiders came in with the fourth oldest draft class There are a few things I feel the need to point out here it was clear they put an emphasis on players with a lot of starting experience That usually means getting seniors; sometimes fifth-year seniors And that means the majority of them are naturally going to be 22+."

file for the Carroll County Prosecutor 'He’s the fastest man in baseball': Carroll wows across the diamondApril 28th he was grinning ear-to-ear about his teammate: Exhibit A: His first-inning leadoff triple for the D-backs in which he scooted around the bases in 11.02 seconds from home to third set the mark for quickest in the big leagues thus far in 2025 ripping a ball to his pull side in the seventh and turning on the afterburners to make it to third in 10.87 seconds Since Statcast began tracking home-to-third times in 2015 Carroll became the first player to have two sub-11.05-second times in a single contest The previous top mark this season was Minnesota’s Byron Buxton who went home-to-third in 11.19 seconds on a triple Friday night Carroll is responsible for nine of the 20-fastest such times across the Majors So what goes into running the bases faster than literally anyone else in the league “I’ll just say that between first and second [base] there is like a decision point on most of those,” Carroll said “[The outfielder’s arm] is definitely a factor that's important there But I think the most important one is probably where the ball is … Our coaches do a really good job with that we've got a good idea of how the outfielders' arms play who also holds the top three home-to-second times in the Majors this year recorded a pair of triples in a game for the first time in his pro career But before his wheels could captivate the 33,544 fans in attendance The D-backs were in a pickle from the word go Sunday with each of the first two Atlanta batters getting into scoring position against starter Brandon Pfaadt A medium-deep fly ball down the right-field line looked like it might score a run and put an Arizona club that played nonstop white-knuckle games all week behind the eight ball But a seed from Carroll hit catcher Jose Herrera on one hop allowing him to slap the tag on Alex Verdugo It marked Carroll’s third assist from right field in 28 games

the fourth player since at least 1974 to have three instances in his career of recording an outfield assist and a triple in the same inning His 21 extra-base hits (and four triples) lead the Majors while his three right-field assists are tied for second “Corbin is hard working in the areas of his game that he knows that he knows that need work and I know that he's on a crusade to complete his game,” manager Torey Lovullo said he's probably never going to stop saying until that he's finally done.” Pete Carroll might not have been the Raiders’ top choice to be their next head coach the more it’s sounding like he was the right person for the job The Raiders are a franchise that has been begging for someone to come in and change the culture and few have shown the ability to lead a locker room like Carroll over the course of his college and professional coaching career As many are aware, Carroll still teaches a college course at the University of Southern California and NFL Network’s Rich Eisen shared a story last week about a class of Carroll’s he recently attended Eisen raved about the class and described it as something like he has never seen “I’m telling you… [the kids] were all giving testimonials to Pete who probably doesn’t want this to be said about him that he has changed their lives,” Eisen said “And I know we’re talking on Raider Nation Radio in Las Vegas if the Raiders are buying what Pete is selling like these kids in class…” “Here is a man we’re talking about how old he is I can tell you he related to a group of 20 because he was talking about how they have helped him learn more about his mantra… They were a connected body I can’t recall the last time I was in room where there was over 100 people and we were all connected,” Eisen continued Eisen said the Raiders have someone to lead the organization Maxx Crosby is just playing for one guy after another after another All the other Raiders who have been there through the churning and have been looking for somebody to sell them something worth buying and they know it’s going to last and if you want a culture changer which the Raiders were in desperate need of x: @raidersbeat Rich Eisen

2000 by large employers and other purchasers the Leapfrog Group is a national nonprofit organization driving a movement for giant leaps for patient safety “We are extremely proud of our team here at

select one team with the most individual draft picks that got me excited, the Raiders would be in the running for that distinction." Wrote Edholm. "Running back Ashton Jeanty should be a star Don't be shocked if receiver Jack Bech follows suit and perhaps quicker than you might think." "The Darien Porter pick was a home-run swing at attempting to address the cornerback need Caleb Rogers and Charles Grant help the O-line Even a few of the Day 3 picks -- such as JJ Pegues and two FCS standouts Tommy Mellott and Cam Miller -- had me clapping at home." "What is the total package going to look like? Who knows? But Maxx Crosby chose to stick around, and he might just be rewarded for it (beyond the money, of course). Geno Smith adds professionalism but there's some legit excitement brewing in Vegas." the Chiefs are ranked third in the rankings While it would be understandable to see that big of a gap if this was last year's team and Jeremy Chinn plus the 2025 NFL Draft class should boost the Raiders stock once the season begins Smith will be playing behind a competent offensive line and with several playmaking weapons Expect Las Vegas to close the gap this season Ensure you follow us on X (Twitter) @HondoCarpenter and IG @HondoSr and never miss another breaking news story again on the Raiders Please let us know your thoughts on the 2025 Radiers now when you like our Facebook pageWHEN YOU CLICK RIGHT HERE passed away peacefully at his residence surrounded by his loving family on Wednesday 1936 in Caswell County and was a devoted husband Dick was known for his hard work and dedication establishing himself as a farmer and a self-employed painter He found joy in the simple pleasures of life and cherished the time spent with his family Such moments were filled with love and laughter Dick enjoyed numerous hobbies that showcased his spirited nature He was a fan of playing sweepstakes and had a profound appreciation for country music and Conway Twitty often inspired him to sing particularly enjoying impersonations of Elvis Presley an endearing facet of his character that brought joy to those around him he enjoyed the adventures of hunting and fishing Dick’s family was the cornerstone of his existence Sheila Carroll Jennings and her husband Scott and Juanita Carroll Aiken and her husband Jimmy He was a proud grandfather to three grandchildren: Wesley Wrenn His lineage continues to flourish with great-grandchildren including Wes Wrenn and his partner Ashley Hall he took great joy in the presence of his great-great-grandchildren whose laughter and innocence brightened his later years His family also includes many special nieces and nephews who will miss him dearly Dick is preceded in death by his beloved wife of 59 years Alvis Sterling Carroll and Flossie Ella Phillips Carroll; a great-grandson The funeral service to celebrate the life of Dick will be held at 2:00PM Saturday Jim Florence with the burial to follow at Kerr’s Chapel Baptist Church Cemetery The family will receive friends from 12:30pm to 1:45pm Saturday prior to the service Oscar "Dick" Neal Carroll leaves behind a legacy of love family and fond memories that will be treasured by all who had the privilege of knowing him You may sign the online register book and watch the service online at www.lowefuneralhome.com Enter your phone number above to have directions sent via text Click to watch Kerr's Chapel Baptist Church Cemetery Why Carroll's early season power surge looks legitApril 13th With his 5-foot-10, 165-pound frame, nobody is ever going to confuse for or the D-backs speedster is slugging like one of the big boys Carroll had homered five times in 14 games to start 2025 And it’s not just a matter of jumping on a few early mistakes -- he has been blistering the ball all over the field That’s a who’s who of some of the game’s most feared sluggers -- and Carroll is right in the middle of it The other players alongside Carroll in the top five have combined for nine 40-homer seasons Nobody projected this kind of pop when Carroll was climbing the prospect ranks, ultimately peaking at No. 2 overall on MLB Pipeline's list prior to 2023 that seemed doable for a player whose power received an above-average grade before he debuted hitting 25 home runs during his National League Rookie of the Year Award-winning season in 2023 But players his size aren’t supposed to challenge the 40-homer mark Here’s why Carroll’s power surge seems like the real deal Carroll’s performance this year is a stark contrast to how he began 2024 his power disappeared for months at a time He didn't hit his second homer of the season until May 7 But last July, he began homering at a prolific clip and basically hasn’t stopped. Dating back to July 7, 2024, Carroll has gone deep 25 times Carroll has done that in 85 games -- which roughly extrapolates to a 47-homer pace over the course of a full season And Carroll is swinging much faster than he did the past two years (Bat-tracking data is available starting in the second half of 2023.) Granted, Carroll’s bat speed prior to 2025 was nothing to sneeze at. His average swing was north of 73 mph in both 2023 (73.2 mph) and 2024 (73.7 mph) But he’s gone to another echelon this year bumping his average bat speed up to 75.2 mph which puts him in the top eight percent of MLB hitters That’s a particularly notable figure given that Statcast defines a “fast” swing as anything 75 mph or above Exactly half of Carroll’s swings this season have met that threshold Carroll has sacrificed some contact to achieve that result -- his whiff rate has spiked to 28% after sitting at 21% across 2023-24 -- but he’s more than made up for it … the ball is jumping off his bat like never before Carroll’s average exit velocity, hard-hit rate and barrel rate have skyrocketed, with the outfielder ranking in the 93rd percentile or better in all three categories While those metrics can be quite noisy in small sample sizes it’s easier to buy into the improvement knowing that his surge began last year Carroll’s batted-ball breakdown since 2023Average exit velocity // hard-hit rate // barrel rate The fact that Carroll has generated multiple batted balls with exit velocities north of 115 mph an area to which most hitters rarely -- if ever -- venture Carroll’s 115.7 mph lineout on March 28 exceeded his previous career high by nearly 2 mph He topped that with a 115.8 mph triple on April 6 Carroll also hit the two hardest home runs of his career (111.8 mph and 110.7 mph) on April 4, both off the Nationals’ Hardest-hit batted balls of Carroll’s career: Max exit velocity can be incredibly telling revealing a lot about a player’s raw power in a single batted ball If a hitter is suddenly pushing their max exit velocity to new heights it’s usually an example of real physical improvement -- because that kind of jump doesn’t happen by accident It’s not just how Carroll is hitting the ball that’s making a difference Carroll has embraced a similar approach. In 2023-24, the outfielder’s rate of pulled air contact (fly balls, line drives and popups) sat around 16%. This year, it’s up to 24.4%, as you can see on Baseball Savant's new batted ball profile leaderboard it’s another tweak that has carried over from the second half of last season when his pulled airball rate soared to 23.9% -- up from 11.8% prior to the All-Star break Carroll hasn’t lost his ability to fly on the bases -- he’s still one of the fastest players in the game Ky) - Motorists should expect a rolling roadblock on Interstate 275 eastbound (from Indiana to Kentucky) near the Carroll Cropper Memorial Bridge on Monday the rolling roadblock will take place between the hours of 7:00 p.m switching traffic from the left lane to the right lane at the bridge approach to the main span to provide a safe working area for crews to switch traffic The majority of T-1 steel repairs have been completed on the bridge This traffic switch will allow crews a safe area to continue working on the expansion joint repairs KYTC will provide further updates once the floor beam repairs begin Aligned with Team Kentucky’s mission to ensure a safe transportation system for the traveling public the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet (KYTC) began steel repairs in mid-January on the Carroll Cropper Memorial Bridge which spans the Ohio River between Kentucky and Indiana Motorists should expect lane closures through late summer 2025 This bridge repair project follows a federally required inspection of older bridges across the country built with “T-1” steel – a high-strength quenched and treated steel known for being highly amenable to welding and machining Potential issues had been found in other states with certain types of welds During a 2023 inspection on the Carroll Cropper bridge engineering firm Michael Baker International tested 600 welds and identified 15 locations that would need future repairs but posed no immediate safety issues Consultants and KYTC engineers collaborated to create a repair plan to prevent potential fractures and address these findings These repairs will ensure the bridge can be safely traveled well into the future KYTC bridge engineering analysis showed that other repairs – unrelated to T-1 steel issues - would be needed for an expansion joint and floor beam A reduced weight limit and lane restrictions were put in place as a precaution and to prevent further damage The expansion joint and floor beam repairs have now been added to the T-1 steel project to expedite those repairs An expansion joint is a component of the bridge deck that allows for thermal expansion and contraction due to changes in weather to prevent concrete from cracking KYTC will lift the emergency vehicle weight limit imposed last December A reduced speed limit of 55 miles-per-hour is in effect within the project area until repairs are finished Overweight and over-dimensional vehicles remain prohibited due to current lane restrictions is contracted to perform the $3.6 million project on behalf of the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet the overall project has an expected completion date of summer 2025 KYTC implemented weight limits for emergency vehicles and temporary lane restrictions on the I-275 Carroll Cropper Memorial Bridge While the bridge remains safe for passenger vehicles a recent inspection found deterioration in some of its steel The weight reduction will not impact commercial vehicle traffic due to semi-trucks having more axles to distribute the weight Overweight Over-Dimensional vehicles are not permitted on the bridge at this time due to current lane restrictions and duration of work may be adjusted if inclement weather or other unforeseen delays occur.  The program provides grants to Rising Sun-Ohio County School Corporation teachers Eighteen students statewide will serve on the committee Your Hometown Radio Station playing Collin Raye -
