Those findings and others were highlighted Monday with the release of the 2019 Kids Count Data Book by the Annie E. Casey Foundation. The annual report uses 16 indicators to rank each state across the four areas of health, education, economic well-being and family and community. Kentucky ranked 34th in the nation in overall child well-being, the report said.

Court hands Bevin victory on Executive Reorganization Power Frankfort, KY - On June 13, 2019, the Kentucky Supreme Court ruled unanimously in favor of Gov. Matt Bevin's executive power to reorganize boards and commissions. In affirming the Franklin Circuit Court ruling, the court said, "In sum, on the facts before us, neither KRS 12.028 nor EO 2017-364 constitutes an unconstitutional delegation of legislative power. Nor did the Governor's reorganization of the Education Professional Standards Board, besides the Governor's restructuring of its appeal process, constitute an unconstitutional infringement on the judiciary's power because the temporary reorganization of this board does not impute the judicial power in any way." In response to the 7-0 ruling, Gov. Bevin issued the following statement: Article continues... click here to read the whole article, or to share, print, or bookmark it. 2019-06-17 06:48:44 | Comments | See topic Politics

Medicaid waiver to expand coverage for Substance Use Disorder A provider webinar is scheduled for Monday, June 17, 2019 at NoonCT/1pmET. By Christina Dettman/Jordan Rowe Frankfort, KY - The Commonwealth of Kentucky is set to expand access to treatment and recovery services for individuals with Substance Use Disorder (SUD) through a portion of its 1115 Medicaid demonstration waiver, beginning July 1. This program further amplifies the Commonwealth's overall efforts to fight the opioid crisis, as well as other substance addictions. With Kentucky's commitment to combatting opioid, alcohol, and other substance dependencies in mind, the Department for Medicaid Services is implementing a new standard of care for substance use treatment through the expanded services. These new standards will enhance coverage and increase access to care for Kentuckians seeking recovery from SUD. "Implementation of this SUD waiver will increase and improve services to those fighting with addiction," said Carol Steckel, Commissioner of the Department of Medicaid Services. "Giving extra support impacts quality of life for the entire family." Article continues... click here to read the whole article, or to share, print, or bookmark it. 2019-06-17 05:42:46 | Comments
Kentucky World War II sailor identified Seaman 1st Class Millard Burk, Jr., of Pikeville, was killed in action on Dec. 7, 1941. By Nicole Burton On Friday, Gov. Matt Bevin recognized the sacrifice of a Kentucky sailor who died in World War II, but whose remains have just been positively identified. Navy Seaman 1st Class Millard Burk, Jr., 19, of Pikeville, died during the attack on Pearl Harbor. On Dec. 7, 1941, Burk was assigned to the battleship USS Oklahoma, which was moored at Ford Island, Pearl Harbor, when the ship was attacked by Japanese aircraft. The USS Oklahoma sustained multiple torpedo hits, which caused it to quickly capsize. The attack on the ship resulted in the deaths of 429 crewmen, including Burk.

August 24, 1977 Around Adair with Ed Waggener This article first appeared in the August 24, 1977 edition of the Daily Statesman. Topics include Mayoral politics, local crime, and fad diets, among many other things. By Ed Waggener Columbia is number one on the list of at least one new physician, who is a native Adair Countian. Dr. Ronald C. Kelsay, the son of Hazel Kelsay and the late Samuel Kelsay, is completing his internship in El Paso, Texas at this time. He will have completed the work by June of 1978. Dr. Kelsay holds both a PhD degree and the M.D. degree. Murphy may get endorsement At least one possible candidate for mayor, W.R. Murphy, is about to get a newspaper endorsement, a first for Columbia, as far as I know. B.W. Bernard, the outspoken editor of the Jamestown - Russell Springs RUSSELL COUNTY NEWS (Russell County's leading newspaper) said that he might just endorse Murphy in his paper. For one thing, Bernard is a big Raymond Overstreet support, and he's thankful to Murphy for withdrawing from the race for State Representative. Cornelia Hughes campaign gets boost An article I wrote which appeared in yesterday's Adair County News listed 13 mayoral possibilities, including Mayor Murphy, Rollin Pyles, Coy Downey, Bob Cheatham, Rives Kerbow, Charles Marshall, Hollis Keltner, Glenno Parnell, Bill McClendon, James Reece, Don Wesley, and Cornelia Hughes.
