Tips for a Safe Fourth of July The Kentucky State Fire Marshal and ATF encourage kentucky residents to safely celebrate the Fourth of July. Sparklers and firecrackers top the list of injury-causing fireworks. By Krista Locke Frankfort, KY - The Kentucky State Fire Marshal joins the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) in reminding the public to exercise caution when dealing with fireworks. "To better ensure a safe and happy Fourth of July, the public is encouraged to enjoy firework shows conducted by licensed professionals," said Mike Haney, Kentucky's Fire Marshal and Director of PPC's Division of Fire Prevention. "However, if celebrating at home, be sure to research state and local laws and regulations as they differ from city to city. Before purchasing or using fireworks, check with authorities in your area to find out what is permitted." Illegal or improperly used fireworks can cause severe injuries or even death. According to the Consumer Products Safety Commission (CPSC,) 121 firework-related deaths have been reported between 2003 and 2018. Last year alone, emergency departments treated an estimated 9,100 firework-related injuries; the majority occurred between June 22 and July 22 with firecrackers being the number one cause of injury. "Injuries are avoidable," said Haney. "Parents should be mindful that sparklers burn at approximately, 2,000 degrees; hot enough to melt some metals. I'd think twice before handing a sparkler to a child." Article continues... click title or click here to read whole article. 2019-07-04 14:19:47 | Comments | Printable version
State releases progress report on Child Welfare Transformation By Christina Dettman/Anya Armes Weber Frankfort, KY - The Kentucky Department for Community Based Services (DCBS), part of the Cabinet for Health and Family Services, has released its one-year report for its Child Welfare Transformation (CWT) efforts, and it shows progress in outcomes for children and a planned path toward greater preventive and community-based care for families. DCBS Commissioner Eric Clark said the effort began in 2018 in conjunction with several recent legislative gains for the department that provided additional state budget appropriations and improved options and resources for families and children. These gains include improvements such as the "fictive kin" placement option, the codified Foster Youth Bill of Rights, and the improved relative services array.

Carol Perkins: Drop the mic and move on Previous column: Carol Perkins: I love jewelry By Carol Perkins Betsy Ross flag tennis shoes and Nike have been in the news for days. The company pulled the shoes because the football player who will not stand for the flag "urged" them in that direction. How has that guy managed to gain so much power? He can stretch out under the goalpost during the playing of the National Anthem and I wouldn't care, would you? This whole knee thing has gotten far too much coverage. Now the media is bashing Nike. In this case, Nike might have decided the shoes were ugly, which they were, and no one would want to wear them, which they wouldn't because they were expensive and remember I've already said they were ugly. One negative voice can be heard over silent ones, but the silent ones find other ways to respond. I met a young man last week who moved to our county for several reasons, but one was because he needed to get out of the city where a person's opinion can be met, and often is, with violence or intimidation.

The agencies are already seeing fish kills, as well as distressed fish and impacts on other aquatic life. The agencies are urging caution regarding the consumption of distressed fish.
