Kentucky Court Of Appeals

Kentucky Court of Appeals

The Kentucky Court of Appeals is the lower of Kentucky's two appellate courts, under the Kentucky Supreme Court. Prior to a 1975 amendment to the Kentucky Constitution the Kentucky Court of Appeals was the only appellate court in Kentucky. The Kentucky Court of Appeals has 14 members. Two members are elected from each of seven districts and serve eight year terms of office. The Kentucky Court of Appeals judges are elected from districts that mirror the seven districts which elect the seven justices of the Supreme Court of Kentucky. The 14 judges select one colleague to serve as chief judge for a four year term. The chief judge assigns judges and cases to panels. The Kentucky Court of Appeals usually sits in three judge panels. Membership of the panels rotate so that all judges sit on at least one panel with each of their colleagues in any given year. Usually one judge is chosen to author the majority opinion for each panel in a particular case. The Kentucky Court of Appeals has a headquarters building and courtroom in Frankfort, the state capital, but unlike the Kentucky Supreme Court the three judge panels of the Kentucky Court of Appeals frequently hear cases in courthouses all over Kentucky. The Kentucky Court of Appeals hears appeals from the circuit courts. Original actions may be filed with the Kentucky Court of Appeals in certain situations. Prior to the 1975 constitutional amendment the Clerk of the Court of Appeals was an elected position. This elected position was abolished by the 1975 constitutional amendment. Former governor Martha Layne Collins served as Clerk of the Court of Appeals before her election as Lieutenant Governor and Governor of Kentucky. Kentucky judges were elected on a partisan ballot until 1976. A 1976 law now mandates nonpartisan judicial elections in Kentucky. Category: Government of Kentucky

Kentucky

The Commonwealth of Kentucky became the 15th U.S. state when it was admitted to the U.S. in 1792. Kentucky and its residents are most well known for thoroughbred horses and horse racing, local whisky distilleries, and enthusiasm for basketball. particularly for the two principal basketball rivals in the state--the blue and white Wildcats of the University of Kentucky and the red and black Cardinals of the University of Louisville. Sports rivalries between the University of Kentucky and the Universities of Tennessee and North Carolina have also long existed. While Kentucky's pastimes are distinctly those of the South, Kentuckian cuisine is considered to be a synergistic blend of Midwestern cuisine and Southern US cuisine.

Origin of name

It was once believed that the name Kentucky was derived from the Native American word meaning "dark and bloody hunting ground," which is believed to be due to the fact that many Native American tribes went there to hunt in the game-rich forests and often fought each other there. However, it is now most commonly believed that the name Kentucky can be attributed to various Native American languages with several possible meanings from "land of tomorrow" to "cane and turkey lands" to "meadow lands." This last may come from the Iroquois name for the Shawnee town Eskippathiki. The name Kentucky referred originally to the Kentucky River and from that came the name of the region.

History

Kentucky is one of four states referred to as a commonwealth. Before the American War of Independence, this land was called Transylvania with its capital at Boonesborough. It was a major gateway for early migration to the west through the Cumberland Gap, and was the first major frontier developed west of the Appalachian Mountains. Guns enabled this movement westward, and even the term shotgun was first coined in Kentucky in 1776. After the war, it became Kentucky County, Virginia and ten constitutional conventions took place at the courthouse of Constitution Square in Danville between 1784 and 1792. In 1790, Kentucky delegates accepted Virginia's terms for separation and the state constitution was drafted at the final convention in April 1792. On June 1, 1792, Kentucky became the fifteenth state in the union and Isaac Shelby, a Revolutionary War hero from Virginia, was named the first Governor of the Commonwealth Of Kentucky. Revolutionary War were born in Kentucky.]] Kentucky was a border state during the American Civil War and for a time had two state governments, one supporting the Confederacy and one supporting the Union. Fittingly, the Presidents of both the United States (Abraham Lincoln) and the Confederate States (Jefferson Davis) during the Civil War were born in Kentucky. At the beginning of the war, control of Kentucky was coveted by both sides of the conflict because of its central location. So much so, in fact, that in September 1861, Lincoln wrote in a private letter, “I think to lose Kentucky is nearly the same as to lose the whole game.” The Confederates made advances in the state during the "Kentucky Campaign" of Generals Braxton Bragg and Edmund Kirby Smith in 1862, but Braggs' retreat following the Battle of Perryville left the state under the control of the Union Army for the rest of the war.

Law and government

The capital of Kentucky is Frankfort and its current governor is Ernie Fletcher (Republican). Kentucky's two U.S. Senators are Jim Bunning (Republican) and Mitch McConnell (Republican). The Kentucky Constitution provides for three branches of government: the legislative, the judicial, and the executive. Kentucky's General Assembly has two chambers: the Senate and the House of Representatives. The executive branch is headed by the Governor. See List of Kentucky Governors. The judicial branch of Kentucky is made up of trial courts, called District and Circuit Courts, an intermediate appellate court, called the Kentucky Court of Appeals, and a court of last resort, the Kentucky Supreme Court. Historically, Kentucky has leaned towards the Democratic Party, and was included among the "Solid South." The majority of the state's voters are officially registered as Democrats, although the majority has slimmed substantially in recent election cycles. Kentucky has voted Republican in five of the last seven presidential elections, but has supported the Democratic candidates of the South. The commonwealth supported Democrats Jimmy Carter in 1976, and Bill Clinton in 1992 and 1996, but Republican George W. Bush in 2000 and 2004. Bush won the state's 8 electoral votes overwhelmingly in 2004 by a margin of 20 percentage points and 59.6% of the vote. The most solidly Democratic counties are in the mountainous eastern unionized coal mining region, especially Pike, Floyd, Knott, Menifee, and Breathitt, and the city of Louisville.

Geography

See also: List of Kentucky counties List of Kentucky counties Kentucky, also known as The Bluegrass State, borders the Midwest and the Deep South. It touches West Virginia, Virginia, and Tennessee, but is separated by water from Missouri, Illinois, Indiana, and Ohio. Its northern border is the low-water mark on the north side of the Ohio River. Its western border is the Mississippi River. Other major rivers in Kentucky include the Kentucky River, Tennessee River, the Cumberland River, the Green River, and the Licking River. There are five main regions, the Cumberland Mountains and Cumberland Plateau in the southeast, the north-central Bluegrass Region, the south-central and western Pennyroyal Plateau, also sometimes termed "Pennyrile", the western coal-fields area, and the far-west Jackson Purchase. Jackson Purchase The largest cities in Kentucky in terms of geographic area are the two merged city/county governments of Lexington-Fayette and Louisville Metro, although Louisville and its metropolitan area both have a much larger population than Lexington and its metro area. Northern Kentucky, an assemblage of smaller cities across the Ohio River from Cincinnati, Ohio, also has a large metropolitan population. The Lexington MSA and the Kentucky portions of the Louisville and Cincinnati MSAs, together, only make up about 45% of the state population, suggesting how rural the state is although 83% of Kentuckians live in MSAs with populations greater than 65,000. Much of rural Kentucky has become suburban during the last decade of the twentieth century. Interestingly enough, Kentucky is the only U.S. state to have a non-contiguous part exist as an enclave of another state. Far western Kentucky includes a small part of land on the Mississippi River bordered by Missouri and accessible via Tennessee. This area is known as the Madrid Bend.

Regions

Bluegrass Region The Bluegrass region is commonly divided into two regions, the Inner Bluegrass - the encircling ninety miles around Lexington - and the Outer Bluegrass, the region that contains most of the Northern portion of the state, above the Knobs.

Significant natural attractions

- Cumberland Gap, chief passageway through the Appalachian Mountains in early American history.
- Cumberland Falls State Park, where a "moon-bow" may be seen in the mists of the falls.
- Mammoth Cave National Park, featuring tours of the world's longest cave.
- Red River Gorge Geological Area, part of the Daniel Boone National Forest.
- Land Between the Lakes, a National Recreation Area managed by the United States Forest Service.

Economy

The total gross state product for 2003 was $129 billion. Its Per Capita Personal Income was $26,575, 41st in the nation. Kentucky's agricultural outputs are horses, cattle, tobacco, dairy products, hogs, soybeans, corn, and often cotton in the west. Its industrial outputs are transportation equipment, chemical products, electric equipment, machinery, food processing, tobacco products, coal, and tourism.

Demographics

As of 2004, there were an estimated 4,145,922 people living in Kentucky. This is a increase of over 104,104 people from 2000. This includes about 95,000 foreign-born (2.3%). Racially, the population is:
- 89.3% White, non-Hispanic
- 7.3% Black
- 1.5% Hispanic
- 0.7% Asian
- 0.2% Native American
- 1.1% Mixed race The five largest ancestries in the state are: American (20.9%), German (12.7%), Irish (10.5%), English (9.7%), African American (7.3%). Blacks, who once represented a quarter of the state's population during the height of the tobacco, cotton, and hemp plantation era, are most concentrated in the southwest (notably Christian County and the city of Paducah), the Bluegrass, and the city of Louisville. "American ancestry" is the largest reported ancestry group throughout most of the state in the Census.

Religion

Religiously, Kentucky is mostly Protestant. The religious affiliations of the state are as follows:
- Christian – 86%
- Protestant – 70%
- Baptist – 35%
- Methodist – 5%
- Pentecostal – 4%
- Church of Christ – 3%
- Lutheran – 2%
- Presbyterian – 2%
- Other Protestant – 19%
- Roman Catholic – 15%
- Other Christian – 1%
- Jewish 0.01%
- Other Religions – <1%
- Non-religious – 14% Religious movements were important in the early history of Kentucky. Perhaps the most famous event was the interdenominational revival in August 1801 at the Cane Ridge Meeting house in Bourbon County. As part of what is now known as the "Western Revival" thousands began meeting around a Presbyterian communion service on August 6, 1801 and ended six days later on August 12, 1801 when both humans and horses ran out of food. The service was originally scheduled for August 8th but people began arriving two days earlier on a rainy August 6th. The meeting was hosted by Barton Stone. Presbyterians, Methodists and some Baptist were present as the services were attempted to be interdominational as possible. As the days wore on, some counted as many as seven preachers preaching at the same time from tree stumps or wagons.

Kentucky Supreme Court

The Kentucky Supreme Court was created by a 1975 constitutional amendment. Prior to that the Kentucky Court of Appeals was the only appellate court in Kentucky. The Kentucky Court of Appeals is now Kentucky's intermediate appellate court. The Kentucky Supreme Court has seven justices, each of whom is elected for an eight year term from one of seven geographic districts. The justices' terms are staggered; they do not all run for election in the same years. The justices choose one of their number to serve a four year term as chief justice. Appeals involving a death sentence, a life sentence or any sentence of more than twenty years go directly to the Kentucky Supreme Court, bypassing the Kentucky Court of Appeals. Other appeals are heard on a discretionary basis on appeal from the Kentucky Court of Appeals. The Kentucky Supreme Court promulgates the Rules of Court and Rules of Evidence and is the final arbiter for bar admissions and discipline. Judicial elections in Kentucky were on a partisan ballot until a 1976 statute made them non-partisan elections. In the event that two or more justices of the Kentucky Supreme Court recuse themselves from a case, the Governor of Kentucky appoints Special Justices to sit for that particular case. The Administrative Office of the Courts (AOC), under the aegis of the Kentucky Supreme Court, serves as the administrative support agency for Kentucky courts and Circuit Court Clerks. The role of the AOC is similar to that of the Legislative Research Commission (LRC) for the Kentucky General Assembly. Category: Government of Kentucky

Frankfort, Kentucky

Frankfort is the capital of Kentucky, a state of the United States of America. It is the county seat of Franklin County. As of the 2000 census, the city has a population of 27,741. On February 3, 1900 Governor-elect William Goebel was assassinated in Frankfort while walking to the capitol to be inaugurated. Former-Secretary of State Caleb Powers was later found guilty in a conspiracy to kill Goebel.

History

The earliest explorers to visit the area now known as Frankfort, Kentucky, perhaps came as early as 1751, following an ancient buffalo trace. The earliest settlements in the area began in August of 1786 when General James Wilkinson purchased a 260-acre tract of land on the north side of the Kentucky River from Humphrey Marshall. At the time, Kentucky was part of the colony of Virginia, and within two months the Virginia Legislature designated one hundred acres of Wilkinson’s land as the site for the town of Frankfort. The town was governed by a seven member board of trustees. General Wilkinson, often regarded as the founder of Frankfort, also became involved as the ringleader in the so-called, "Spanish Conspiracy." Wilkinson and several prominent Kentuckians were involved in the plot to join Kentucky with the Spanish Empire to gain access to the Mississippi River and the port of New Orleans. The plot failed, and Wilkinson fled to Mexico where he later passed away. One of the remaining evidences of Wilkinson’s connection with the Spanish government is the naming of Miro Street after the governor of New Orleans, Esteban Miro. The town of Frankfort most likely received its name from a 1780 event when Indians attacked a group of pioneers from Bryan’s Station who were making salt at a ford in the Kentucky River. One of the pioneers, Stephen Frank, was killed and the crossing became known as, "Frank’s Ford," and the name was later shortened to, "Frankfort." On June 1, 1792, Kentucky entered the union as the fifteenth state. The newly formed legislature appointed a commission to find a site for the state capital. Holmes offered the state several town lots, building materials and the rents from a tobacco warehouse to gain the recommendation of Frankfort as the location of Kentucky’s capital. Eight citizens of the town offered an additional incentive of $3,000 if the state chose Frankfort as its seat of government. On December 5, 1792, the commissioners approved Frankfort as the capital of the Commonwealth of Kentucky. Shortly after becoming Kentucky’s capital city, Frankfort began a period of growth and prosperity in the 1800s. At the beginning of the nineteenth century, the population of the town was 628, making it the second largest town in Kentucky after Lexington. New building projects abounded during the early years of the town’s history. A three-story statehouse was built in 1794, and by 1800 the state penitentiary was completed. In 1805 the Frankfort Water Company was established, and business continued to expand. By 1810, the number of residents increased to 1,099 and by 1860 the population of Frankfort had risen to 3,702. In 1843 one of the nation’s first park-like cemeteries was established on the outskirts of Frankfort, and by 1844, the Frankfort Cemetery was officially incorporated. Even today, it is perhaps one of the most beautiful cemeteries in the nation, and is often called the, "Westminster of Kentucky," due to the number of prominent statesmen and civic leaders buried there. In 1845, the remains of Daniel Boone and his wife Rebecca were brought to Frankfort from Missouri and laid to rest in a place of honor within the cemetery. The Kentucky River played an important role in the success of Frankfort as a business center. The river trade was all-important to not only merchants, but to the local farmers as well. Several factories were constructed in the city producing boxes, cloth, glass, hemp products, farm implements, fishing reels, and steamboats. Produce and manufactured goods were transported on the Kentucky River and eventually to the markets on the Ohio and the Mississippi. During the nineteenth century, Frankfort was considered a hub of commerce and trade for the central Kentucky area. Turnpikes connected the town with other communities. By the 1840s, railroads were becoming a factor in the growth of the city. A series of disastrous fires destroyed the first and second statehouses in 1813 and 1824, and a third state capitol building was completed in 1830. This beautiful Greek revival structure served as the capitol until 1910 when the present capitol building was erected. During the Civil War, Frankfort was briefly occupied by the Confederate Army. Fortifications overlooking the town were built on what is now called Fort Hill, and the disruption of war to the economy and society caused difficult times in the city. Social and political unrest plagued Frankfort after the war. Political unrest culminated with the assassination of Democratic gubernatorial candidate William Goebel in 1900. After the war, the city eventually revived, and business started to flourish once again. The city's population grew from 3,702 in 1860 to 9,487 in 1900. Distilleries, meatpacking, flour milling, and lumber mills all grew rapidly in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. One of the worst disasters to strike Frankfort occurred in January 1937, when due to heavy rains the Kentucky River overflowed and flooded the city. Floods remained a problem for the low-lying areas of Frankfort for many years. A floodwall was later constructed to protect the more vulnerable parts of the city. The first decades of the twentieth century were marked by several construction projects. The new capitol building rose in 1910, and an eleven story state office complex was completed in 1941. The capitol annex building was dedicated in 1952. The latter half of the twentieth century witnessed the massive urban renewal program of the 1960s. A portion of Frankfort at the corner of Wilkinson and Clinton Streets was torn down and rebuilt as a center of state government. In 1972, a twenty-eight story state office tower was completed, and in 1984 a hotel complex culminated the renewal project. During the course of the twentieth century, the population of Frankfort grew from 9,487 in 1900, to 27,741 in 2000. Frankfort remains one of the most unique state capitals, with a rich history, nestled in one of the most beautiful river valleys in the nation, it is in the epitome of southern charm and grace.

Lieutenant governor

A Lieutenant Governor or Lieutenant-Governor is a government official who is the subordinate or deputy of a Governor or Governor-General. In India this position is slightly different.

Australia

In Australia, the Lieutenant Governor is the subordinate of the Governor of a state. The Lieutenant Governor serves as Administrator, or acting Governor, in case the Governor becomes ill or disabled. In many states, this role is played by the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court. The state Lieutenant Governors have no powers but stand ready to take up the Governor's role. While Australia was a collection of colonies of Britain, lieutenant-governors ran Australian colonies that were initially subordinate to the colony of New South Wales, such as Van Diemen's Land (Tasmania) or the Bay of Islands (New Zealand).

Canada

New Zealand and her spouse Jean-Daniel Lafond met with most of them on 28 September 2005.]] In Canada, the Lieutenant-Governor (typically with a hyphen) is the Queen's, or Crown, representative in a province, much as the Governor General is her representative at the national level. The lieutenant-governor is therefore the province's vice-regal representative, but has little or no executive role. Similar positions in Canada's three territories are termed Commissioners and are representatives of the federal government, however, not the Queen directly. Yukon and Nunavut have had Commissioners since they were founded, but in Northwest Territories the position dates to 1905, when the most populous part of the territory was split away to become the provinces Alberta and Saskatchewan. Before then, the Northwest Territories had a Lieutenant-Governor. Like similar officials, lieutenant-governors hold considerable reserve powers which are not normally used. One interesting constitutional question is the role of the Lieutenant-Governor of Quebec in the hypothetical case of the Quebec National Assembly voting to unilaterally secede. Some have argued that in this situation, the lieutenant-governor not only could refuse Royal Assent, but would be duty bound to do so. Nominally, lieutenant-governors are appointed by the governor general for a usual term of five years. In practice, they are chosen by the Prime Minister of Canada, usually in consultation with their respective provincial Premiers. Lieutenant-governors are often retired "elder statesmen" from the Prime Minister's party. The salary of lieutenant-governors is paid by the federal government rather than by the provincial government. In the past, the lieutenant-governors were a direct representative of the governor general, however they now directly represent the Queen in their respective provinces. The difference in authority between the Australian state governors and the Canadian provincial lieutenant-governors is significant constitutionally. In Australia, governors are appointed by the Queen on the advice of the the appropriate state premier. Canadian lieutenant-governors are appointed by the governor general, rather than the Queen directly, on the advice of the prime minister. Canadian lieutenant-governorships have been observed to often be used to promote women and minorities into a prominent position. Five of Canada's ten current lieutenant-governors and one of the three territorial commissioners are women. There have been one black (Lincoln Alexander) and several Aboriginal lieutenant-governors. The current Lieutenant-Governor of Quebec uses a wheelchair. The current Lieutenant-Governor of Nova Scotia is Jewish. The current Lieutenant-Governor of Alberta is a Chinese-Canadian, as was the Hon. David Lam in British Columbia (Lieutenant-Governor from 1988 to 1995). See lieutenant-governors:
- Alberta
- British Columbia
- Manitoba
- New Brunswick
- Newfoundland and Labrador
- Nova Scotia
- Ontario
- Prince Edward Island
- Quebec
- Saskatchewan
- Northwest Territories (formerly)

India

In India, a Lieutenant governor is in charge of a Union Territory. He is given almost the same powers chief ministers have over their states. However the rank is given just to the union territories of Chandigarh, Delhi, Pondicherry and the Andaman and Nicobar Islands. Lt. Gov hold the same rank as a governor of a state in the list of precedence. The other territories have an administrator appointed, who is an IAS officer.

New Zealand

The only person to have held the rank of Lieutenant Governor of New Zealand was Captain William Hobson, RN from 1839 - 1841, during which time the New Zealand colony was a dependency of the colony of New South Wales, governed at that time by Sir George Gipps. When New Zealand was designated a crown colony in 1841, Hobson was raised to the rank of Governor, which he held until his death the following year.

Channel Islands and Isle of Man

In the British Crown Dependencies of Jersey, Guernsey and the Isle of Man, the Lieutenant Governor is the Queen's representative, but the post is largely ceremonial, with executive power remaining with each Island's elected administration. In the Isle of Man, the Lieutenant Governor was until 1980 the presiding officer of the Legislative Council and of Tynwald Court (the Legislative Council and the House of Keys in joint session), but both roles have been transferred to the President of Tynwald. Now, the Lieutenant Governor only presides once a year on Tynwald Day. On the 19th October 2005 Tynwald approved proposals to change the title of the Lieutenant Governor to Crown Commissioner or Barrantagh y Chrooin as he/she will be known in Manx Gaelic. This Bill must now go before the Lord of Mann Elizabeth II for Royal Assent before it becomes law.[http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/europe/isle_of_man/4324400.stm] See also List of Lieutenant Governors of the Isle of Man, List of Lieutenant Governors of Jersey, List of Lieutenant Governors of Guernsey

United States

In the United States, the office of Lieutenant Governor is the second-highest executive office in a state and is nominally subordinate to the Governor. The procedure for election of Lieutenant Governor varies from state to state with 24 states having the Governor and Lieutenant Governor elected as running mates on a joint ticket (for example in New York, Maryland and Kansas), while in 18 states, the Governor and the Lieutenant Governor run separately, sometimes in different election cycles. The latter can cause the Governor and Lieutenant Governor to be from different parties and bitter political rivals (such as is often the case in California and Virginia). In the U.S. the main duty of the Lieutenant Governor is to act as Governor should the Governor be temporarily absent from the office. In addition, the Lieutenant Governor generally succeeds a Governor who dies or resigns. In most states, the Lieutenant Governor then becomes Governor, with the title and its associated salary, office, and privileges. In a few states, like Massachusetts, the Lieutenant Governor instead becomes "Acting Governor" until the next election. Other than this primary constitutional duty, most state constitutions do not prescribe the duties of the Lieutenant Governor in detail.
- In a few states such as Hawaii and Utah, the position of Lieutenant Governor is equivalent to that of Secretary of State.
- In some states the Lieutenant Governor is the presiding officer of the upper house of the legislature. In the states of Mississippi and Texas, the Lieutenant Governor, elected separately from the Governor, presides over the State Senate, and by convention and legislative rule has a great deal more influence on legislation than the Governor. Thus, when a Lieutenant Governor of Texas becomes Governor, they assume a higher office, but lose some of their previous authority. In Maine, New Hampshire, New Jersey, Tennessee and West Virginia the President of the state Senate assumes the office of Governor upon a vacancy. In November 2005, New Jersey voters approved a constitutional amendment to create the office of Lieutenant Governor. The office will be officially enacted following the 2009 general election. Even as the West Virginia Constitution establishes no such office, signage in the State Senate, the legislative guide, and the official website of the West Virginia Legislature style the Senate President as Lieutenant Governor. In Tennessee, the leader of the Senate's full title is the Lieutenant Governor- Speaker of the Senate. John S. Wilder was elected to that post in 1971, which he still holds. As of 2005, he is both the longest-serving and oldest Lieutenant Governor in the United States. Arizona, Oregon and Wyoming also do not have a Lieutenant Governor. In these three states and Puerto Rico the Secretary of State becomes Governor. American Samoa, Guam, the Northern Mariana Islands, and the United States Virgin Islands have the office of Lieutenant Governor. The office of Lieutenant Governor existed in all of the 17th- and 18th-century British colonies that later became the initial thirteen United States of America. The defining difference between the Lieutenant Governor and the Royal Governor was that the Lieutenant Governor would be required to live in the colony to which he was appointed. Also, the Royal Governor would be paid directly by the crown, where as the Lieutenant Governor would be paid by the colonial treasury.

Notes

# In a Canadian context there are numerous, and not mutually agreeable, notions regarding hyphenation and capitalisation of the position title. The Canadian Style (an official federal government style guide), indicates Lieutenant-Governor (upper case with hyphen; p. 46) though lieutenant-governors (lower case and hyphenated) when pluralised (p. 70). However, The Oxford Guide to Canadian English Usage (p. 244) equivocates somewhat, indicating upper case only when used in and associated with a specific provincial L-G or name, not generally, and varied use. Moreover, a visitation of numerous provincial websites typically indicate Lieutenant Governor (of Province) (upper case and no hyphen), likely due to the primacy of those positions in their respective jurisdictions. ::For Wp consistency, the Oxford standard can be used when referring to Canadian lieutenant-governors.
