Letter: Bailee Vicki Miller writes: That's our Bailee girl! She is indeed the guardian of Wall St. Unfortunately she likes to sunbathe in the street causing cars to have to wait until she's ready to move. I don't let her out as often as she would like because of her bad habits in the street. She's best friends with our mailman too. She barks and follows him when she's out. Thanks for taking her picture. She's rather vain so I'm sure she'll love seeing it.Comments re: Little guardian of Wall Street 2020-12-29 15:26:14 | Comments | Printable version | See topic Letters and Reader Feedback

COVID vaccines continue to roll out in Kentucky By Crystal Staley/Sebastian Kitchen Frankfort, KY - On Monday, Gov. Andy Beshear and Dr. Steven Stack, commissioner of the Kentucky Department for Public Health, said the next priority group (Phase 1b) for vaccination will be Kentuckians who are at least 70 years old, as well as first responders and educators. Depending on the vaccine distribution schedule, Phase 1b could begin as early as Feb. 1, 2021, plus or minus a week. The Governor said 40 additional sites will receive vaccine doses for the first time this week. "Remember, this vaccine roll out is, I think, one of the toughest and largest logistics challenges we've seen since World War II," said Gov. Beshear. "It's not going to be clean the entire time - we're building the airplane while we're flying it - but right now, we believe we've got the right plan in the right way to distribute this vaccine equitably all across the state."

KSP Forensic Labs among first to adopt new standards By Sgt. Billy Gregory Frankfort, KY - Kentucky State Police (KSP) Forensic Laboratories were recently recognized by a nationally renowned organization called 'Organization of Scientific Area Committees' (OSAC) for voluntarily adopting rigorous standards in the analysis of seized drugs. KSP labs are one of the first lab systems in the country to adopt these standards. The OSAC organization exists to be the gold standard in scientific testing, protocols and best practices to help ensure forensic analysis is reliable and reproducible. KSP employs 30 lab personnel who are specifically assigned to drug analysis located across the state at six separate labs. These facilities receive evidence from every law enforcement agency in the Commonwealth and on average, forensic scientists complete a total of nearly 30,000 drug cases every year.

LCDHD COVID-19 Public Information Brief 12/28/2020 By Amy Tomlinson Lake Cumberland District Health Department As far as the 7-day Incidence Rate, all our counties moved back into the "Red-Critical" range of community-spread today. This was somewhat expected as folks who weren't able to get tested over the holidays have begun now to do so. Until the vaccine is widely available, let's all do our part in slowing the spread of COVID-19 by wearing our face coverings, avoiding crowds (especially in confined spaces), social distancing when around others, increasing our hand hygiene, increasing our general sanitation, and by avoiding the touching of our faces.
