(KFVS) - The Kentucky State Police will be conducting traffic safety checkpoints throughout the Post 1 district, to check drivers for compliance with laws including driving under the influence.

KSP uses traffic safety checkpoints to promote safety for drivers using the public roads and to provide a deterrent for those who violate laws contained in the Kentucky Revised Statutes. 

The checkpoints will allow KSP the opportunity to periodically concentrate its efforts in checking for violations of Kentucky traffic and regulatory laws that will ultimately increase the safety of the citizens within the Commonwealth.

Drivers encountering a traffic safety checkpoint should have their operator’s license, vehicle registration receipt and proof of insurance readily accessible.

KSP has provided the traffic safety checkpoint locations in the Post 1 district below.

GRAVES COUNTY, KY (KFVS) - What do you call a building that’s four feet wide, eight feet long, and six feet tall with three windows, a shingled roof, and lap siding?

You could call it a playhouse for your kids or a shooting house for a hunter. … Whatever its name, on June 8, someone will call it “mine!”

The Graves County Schools Maintenance Department built it and the district’s Central Office Team has donated it for a drawing to benefit the Graves County Relay for Life Friday night, June 8.

Relay is scheduled for the Graves County High School campus that night. Tickets are $10 each and the winner does not need to be present to win.

To learn more or to buy a ticket, contact any member of the Graves County Schools’ Board of Education or employee of the Central Office or Maintenance Department or phone (270) 328-2656 or 674-2656.
