Governor: More than 10K new COVID-19 cases in two days By Crystal Staley/Jack Mazurak Frankfort, KY - On Thursday, Gov. Andy Beshear announced nearly 5,000 new COVID-19 cases in the commonwealth's second-highest daily report - yesterday's report was the highest-ever - and the state's highest positivity rate since May 5. The Governor has announced 10,653 cases in just two days. "We are in a dangerous place. It is now clear that we are seeing an escalation related to holiday gatherings. This is not the time to make it harder to react to this virus when it may be surging again," said Gov. Beshear. "We have to have the tools to fight back. "Wear your masks all the time when you are indoors and there is anybody else there who is from outside your household. At this point, do it for your own safety. That's what we need to do to get through these next couple months. Over the last two days, we have vaccinated 32,524 Kentuckians. We are ready to defeat this virus and we need to make sure we protect our people while we do." He said Kentuckians can watch his joint State of the Commonwealth and budget address tonight at 7pmET via his social media channels, where closed captions are also available. For full coverage, Kentuckians can tune to Kentucky Educational Television. Article continues... click title or click here to read whole article. 2021-01-07 16:32:11 | Comments | Printable version

What are your sensory needs for happiness? By Linda Waggener Granddaughter Hailey called to interview me as part of her third grade science class work this morning. She had to interview three people with the question, "What are your sensory needs that help you focus?" We talked about the five basic senses - smell, touch, taste, hearing, and sight. Sight was my choice, thinking of how much sunshine helps me focus - I'm always amazed at how easy it is to remember gratitude when the sun is out vs. how my thoughts have to wander around a while before I remember to focus on gratitude on very gray days. What are your sensory needs for better focus and joy? 2021-01-07 11:45:49 | Comments | Printable version

Ball Corp. to create nearly 200 jobs in Bowling Green By Crystal Staley/Jack Mazurak Frankfort, KY - Companies continue to create high-paying jobs for Kentuckians, as Gov. Andy Beshear, local and corporate leaders today announced Ball Corp. plans to create approximately 200 high-wage positions with the construction of a new manufacturing facility in Bowling Green to produce recyclable aluminum ends for the company's beverage can customers. "As we enter the new year, we will continue to focus our economic development efforts on sustained job and wage growth across the commonwealth," Gov. Beshear said. "This announcement of Ball Corp.'s new aluminum can end production facility in Warren County creating nearly 200 high-wage jobs is a major step toward securing a better future for Kentuckians. I want to thank Ball for this commitment to the workforce in and around Warren County, and I look forward to the company becoming part of Team Kentucky." Ball executives expect to immediately start site preparation in the Kentucky Transpark to build a 500,000-square-foot facility, scheduled to begin production in early 2022. The operation - Ball's first in the state - would provide capacity to supply aluminum ends to Ball's expanding North American network of beverage can manufacturing plants. Company leaders plan to begin hiring later this year, and the facility ultimately will create nearly 200 jobs over the next five years. Positions will include production technicians, industrial electricians, machinists, material handlers and leadership and support staff roles.

Thank you from the family of Blake Martin Thank you seems so inadequate for the many, many acts of kindness shown to our family at the time and since the passing of our Blake. The many calls, texts, Facebook posts, food, cards, offers to help at funeral home but most importantly the prayers were so much appreciated. This community and area has once again amazed us with the amount of donations to the Asher and Avery Education Fund (which Blake would be very proud of). To Pastor Aaron, Bro. Al, Pastor Randy & Bro. Bobby the service was perfect. To Dr. Stephens, Chad Parnell and others that made it possible for the visitation and service to be in the High School gym, we thank you. Life will never be the same without Blake but the memories we have and the joy of watching his sons grow will sustain us. Please continue to pray for all of us. Sincerely, Haley, Asher, Avery, David, Cathy, McKenzie and the entire Blake Martin Family 2021-01-07 08:09:51 | Comments | Printable version | See topic Obituaries
Carol Perkins: The perfect gift Previous Column: Happy anniversary By Carol Perkins When the box arrived on our garage steps, Guy set it on the couch. "You expecting anything?" I was expecting many things via UPS the week before Christmas, but nothing in a box that large. Often the box is larger than the product, so I was sure it was a set of Legos or a combination of many small items. Assuming it wasn't something I needed immediately, I walked by most of the day. The phone rang a few hours later. "If you get a box don't open it," our son Jon said. "Does the box give away what is inside?" There was nothing on the box other than Amazon. We were now curious, but we could never have guessed. Jon chose the perfect gift. It is stubborn, has a mind of its own, does not obey orders, and when it gets stuck refuses to back off.

LCDHD: Cases surging again LCDHD COVID-19 Public Information Brief 1/6/2021 By Amy Tomlinson Lake Cumberland District Health Department Cases are starting to surge again at the state and local level. This could be a result of holiday gatherings. We have had 58 cases so far that report attending a Christmas gathering. With the return of some degree of in-person school instruction, the next few weeks may continue to see increased case numbers. So, 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 touching our faces. COVID-19 Vaccination Update LCDHD is currently operating in Phase 1a of our COVID-19 vaccine distribution plan. This includes vaccines for healthcare workers and first responders. We are not pre-registering for future vaccination phases at this time, as vaccines are not readily available.
