State Senator Max Wise tests positive for COVID-19 Frankfort, Ky. (July 13, 2020) - The following is a statement from Senator Max Wise regarding his positive COVID-19 test: "This past Thursday, I began experiencing very mild symptoms that I thought might be consistent with COVID-19.

Governor's Monday update By Crystal Staley/Sebastian Kitchen Frankfort, KY - Gov. Andy Beshear on Monday updated Kentuckians on the state's continued efforts to fight the novel coronavirus 2019 (COVID-19). Gov. Beshear emphasized his priorities - protecting the health and safety of all Kentuckians, restarting our economy and opening our schools - and said wearing a mask is the most important step we all can take to achieve those goals. "So, what do we have to do? What are the actions that we have to take to protect our economy, to make sure that we protect $10 billion of our economy? It's pretty simple. Wear a facial covering," said Gov. Beshear. "Facial coverings help us achieve our three goals. No. 1 goal is to protect the lives and the health of Kentuckians. It is now a scientific fact: Wearing a mask protects both you and other people." He noted that cases are surging across the nation, causing many states to roll back their efforts to reopen their economies. "The second goal is restarting our economy," Gov. Beshear said. "There are multiple states now rolling back their reopening. I don't want that to be us."

Robert Stone - I am: a sonnet of hopeful change Poetry by Robert Stone: I am: a sonnet of hopeful change When I am dead and buried you at last will never need to worry what words more I might dig up from our unhappy past that you would choose with patience to ignore. But I am still alive and spouting words collected through my years of reading much about the swimming fish and flying birds and all the things I did not fear to touch. If I am honest I acknowledge choice to set aside all unkind thoughts and acts and do those things that will make you rejoice when best of me is guided by sound facts. Yet I am shaking in my shoes afraid of failing to achieve a passing grade. - Robert Stone, 12 July 2020 2020-07-13 10:42:23 | Comments | Printable version | See topic Poetry by Robert Stone
History Monday: Mad Dogs Always a Concern By Mike Watson Growing up in rural Adair County afforded many exciting moments. There were instances of heavy rains and high water, snakes on the porch, falling tree limbs, skunks, bee swarms, and so much more, including the occasional strange dog in the neighborhood. An unusual canine always created murmurs of possible rabies and the animal would have to be checked on, and due process, if necessary, carried out. Mad dogs have always been of concern, for they may bite anything or anyone, as the following story from the The Courier-Journal of 19 March 1874 illustrates: Man's Faithful Friend -- Fido in the Country -- A Lively Demand for Madstones -- Campbellsville, Ky., Letter, March 16, in the Lebanon Standard -- Rabid dogs seem to be abundant this season. We have had them here, and hear of them in several other localities. One in Green County has bitten many dogs and a number of cattle. Two or three persons have been bitten, among them William Clark, aged about 16, son of Thomas J. Clark, proprietor of the hotel at Greensburg.
