Today is the day that a community presentation focused on online safety is planned next here in Carter County, aimed at helping adults better understand the risks children face online.
The event will take place from 6 to 7:30 p.m. in the cafeteria at Prichard Elementary School. It will feature a cyber safety presentation led by a detective with the Kentucky State Police.
Organizers say the presentation will cover the realities of online activity and how it can impact children, including potential risks and ways parents and guardians can better protect their families.
The event is sponsored by the Carter County Family Resource and Youth Services Center, and is free and open to the public. However, officials stress that the presentation is intended for adults only. Due to the nature of the material being discussed, parents are asked not to bring children.
Light refreshments will be available during the evening.
Organizers say the goal is to provide straightforward, practical information that can help families stay informed and prepared when it comes to online safety.
Again, that cyber safety presentation is scheduled for this evening from 6 to 7:30 p.m. at Prichard Elementary School, and is open to adults in the community.

A program designed to help Carter County farmers manage the cost of weed control this spring is now underway.
The Carter County Soil Conservation District has announced its 2026 Spring Chemical Cost Share Program, which will provide a 50/50 reimbursement for certain herbicide purchases used in the county’s noxious weed control efforts.
Under the program, any Carter County resident with a Carter County farm number may qualify to receive reimbursement for chemical purchases, up to 80 dollars per farm number.
Officials say there are a few requirements that participants will need to follow. Purchases must have been made on or after March first, and applicants must provide proof of purchase, such as a receipt along with documentation showing the payment method used.
Cash purchases will not be accepted for reimbursement, and documentation must show that the purchase was made using a credit card, debit card, or check.
The Soil Conservation District says reimbursements will be processed once each month for those who participate, and the program will continue until the available funding has been exhausted.
Receipts and documentation should be submitted to Courtney Bond at the Carter County Soil Conservation District office, located at 526 East Main Street in Grayson.
Anyone with questions about the program can call the office at 606-474-5184, option three, or 606-939-2824.
Again, the Spring Chemical Cost Share Program is now underway and offers Carter County farmers an opportunity to receive partial reimbursement for herbicide purchases while helping address noxious weeds throughout the county.
