Flag-Burning Ky. Teacher Removed AP ^ \| 8/21/6 sfgate.com Louisville -- A middle school teacher who burned two American flags as part of a civics lesson has been removed from the classroom. Dan Holden, a seventh-grade social studies teacher at Stuart Middle School, burned the flags Friday as part of a lesson on freedom of speech, Jefferson County schools spokeswoman Lauren Roberts said. The students were asked to write an opinion paper on the flag burning, Roberts said. The burning did not appear to be politically motivated, she said. Holden, who has taught in the district since 1979, has been reassigned to non-instructional duties while the incident is under investigation.

Police Investigate Two Suspicious Truck Drivers(unknown radioactive material) WJACTV.com ^ \| 08-21-2006 \| WJACTV wjactv.com POSTED: 2:21 pm EDT August 21, 2006 JEFFERSON COUNTY -- Could two suspicious truck drivers reported to police in Jefferson County have ties to terrorism? Last night at about 11:30pm someone at the Travel Centers of America Truck Stop noticed something suspicious and reported it to police. The police report says two unidentified men who appeared to be of Middle Eastern descent were operating a tractor trailer carrying an unknown radioactive material. The person reporting the incident says that the pair gave the travel center false registration information and a false vehicle identification number. The report goes on to say that the pair cut the lock that secured the trailer and entered the cargo area. They later replaced the lock with one that they bought inside the truck stop. The two then left the area immediately and headed west on Interstate 80. The police are not saying anything more about the incident other than it is being investigated. Highway Patrol stopped the same men in Ohio. No word from them on whether anything suspicious was found.
