Daily News for Monday, May 4, 2020
May is Motorcycle Safety Awareness Month By Erin G. Eggen Frankfort, KY - In recognition of May as Motorcycle Safety Awareness Month, the Kentucky Office of Highway Safety (KOHS) joins the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) in reminding motorists and motorcyclists to "share the road" conscientiously and courteously to help prevent crashes, injuries and deaths on Kentucky roadways. "Safety is a mutual responsibility for motorists and motorcyclists alike," said Gov. Andy Beshear. "We're entering the warmer months and that typically means more drivers may operate motorcycles on our roadways. With more than 95,000 registered motorcycles in Kentucky, all road users must stay alert and look out for one another." According to NHTSA, per vehicle miles traveled, motorcyclists are approximately 28 times more likely than people in passenger cars to die in a traffic crash. Additionally, when motorcycles and other vehicles collide, it is usually the other (non-motorcycle) driver who violates the motorcyclist's right-of-way.

Governor details expanded reopening of health care, businesses By Crystal Staley/Sebastian Kitchen Frankfort, KY - Gov. Andy Beshear on Monday offered new details on guidelines for businesses and health care providers looking to restart safely as we continue to fight the novel coronavirus 2019 (COVID-19). The Governor provided updated information for employers relaunching under Kentucky's Healthy at Work initiative and announced new partnerships to expand testing in Northern Kentucky and provide masks for Kentucky businesses. What began with the phased reopening of certain health care services continues as other business sectors prepare to relaunch operations in Phase 1 of Healthy at Work. State leaders asked partners in the business community for proposals on how they plan to operate while keeping their customers safe, and the state has already received more than 1,000 plans. The proposals, while not required, are expected to include best practices to safely operate and each industry's capabilities for reopening. Under the schedule outlined by Gov. Beshear, more businesses will be allowed to open May 11 with new minimum requirements, as well as industry specific requirements. Among the businesses that will be allowed to operate: Article continues... click title or click here to read whole article. 2020-05-04 20:57:19 | Comments | Printable version

May is Better Hearing and Speech Month By Kim Saylor Brannock Frankfort, KY - With more than 700,000 people in Kentucky currently experiencing some degree of hearing loss, the coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak has prompted businesses, organizations and community leaders across the country to take stock and begin changing their methods of communication to be more inclusive. May, which is Better Hearing and Speech Month, is the perfect time for the Kentucky Commission on the Deaf and Hard of Hearing (KCDHH) to not only remind people of the importance of hearing health, the signs of hearing loss, and resources available, but also to promote inclusive communication. "The COVID-19 pandemic has brought a new awareness to how vital it is to include everyone when we are communicating, especially during an emergency. I have learned so much from having Virginia Moore with KCDHH interpreting for me during my daily press conferences. It has really opened everyone's eyes to the needs of so many people," said Gov. Andy Beshear. Article continues... click title or click here to read whole article. 2020-05-04 14:37:28 | Comments | Printable version
CARES Act to Provide Relief to LWC Students By Venus Popplewell Lindsey Wilson College students will soon begin to see some financial relief from unexpected expenses incurred due to the disruption of campus operations because of the COVID-19 pandemic. As part of the federal government's Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security (CARES) Act, LWC will receive an allocation of funds to assist eligible students whose face-to-face classes were suspended for the spring term. The emergency cash grant will help students cover additional expenses (i.e., food, housing, course materials, technology, health care or childcare) incurred because of the College's need to transition to an online learning format. Eligible students include undergraduate degree-seeking students who were enrolled in the spring 2020 semester on the main or extended campuses whose classes were face-to-face. Students also need to have applied for federal student aid by submitting a 2019-20 FAFSA and have an Expected Family Contribution (EFC) not more than $20,000. Ineligible students per federal guidelines include those taking primarily online courses and international or Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) students. "We know students are struggling as a result of this pandemic," said LWC President William T. Luckey Jr. "The difficult decisions made to prevent the spread of COVID-19 have negatively impacted financially vulnerable students and their families. The CARES Act emergency cash grant is an important addition to Lindsey Wilson's existing support programs and will be passed directly to students as quickly as we can make it happen."

History Monday: Random Thoughts Or: Do not mess with an Adair County boy--or a lightening rod peddler--they won't like it! By Mike Watson Mr. F. Winfrey, proprietor of the Columbia Hotel, had an altercation with James D. Lyons, the Columbia and Campbellsville stage and express agent, in which Lyons received a very painful wound from an improved Colt's fired at him by Winfrey. Three shots were fired by Winfrey, two hitting Lyons, only one breaking the skin. Lyons was unarmed, but made the first assault.--The Cincinnati Daily Star, Cincinnati, OH, 15 December 1879. Columbia Spectator: A difficulty occurred in this place last Monday, about half-past five o'clock, between Mr. J.W. Turk, of Milltown, and Dr. J.K. Nell, of Gradyville. It seems that there has been an old feud existing between the parties for years, and meeting on the corner, near Mr. Kemp's drug store, some words passed, when Turk threw two rocks, Nell dodging them both. Nell then threw at Turk, hitting him upon the shoulder, and immediately rushing on him, cut him once with a pocketknife.--The Courier-Journal, Louisville, KY, 11 July 1879.
