Kentucky State Police educates fairgoers for 60 years

Since its creation as a law enforcement agency in 1948, the Kentucky State Police has been using the Kentucky State Fair in its public education efforts. The photo at left from the 1949 fair shows an exhibit aimed at highway safety. After 60 years, the KSP continues to educate the public about highway safety through exhibits at the Kentucky State Fair. This vehicle rollover simulator at the 2008 fair, right photo, demonstrates how occupants not using seat belts can easily be ejected in a crash with fatal results.

Now is the time to think about who you have listed as your primary and contingent beneficiary(ies). Oftentimes AAST members overlook AAST's life insurance policy and as a result, we are compelled to pay benefits to a person listed who is no longer an accurate or appropriate beneficiary. It has happened in the past where benefits have been paid to former wives and family. In some cases, a member will not have a beneficiary form on file and in those instances the life insurance will not be paid until the estate goes to a probate court.
