Carol Perkins: Life's Chapters, Four - Parades and Santa Previous Chapter: Life's Chapters, Three - My Town at Christmas By Carol Perkins Chapter Four brings us to Christmas parades and Santa. Years ago, each county school traditionally entered a float, as well as various school clubs, local civic organizations, churches, and individual families. The Christmas parade was a "humdinger." Santa usually rode on the fire truck and threw candy to anxious children, who dashed into the street to gather as much as they could without thought of being run over by the following float. Santa moved to a picture-taking location and parents lined up with their children, some of whom were bawling. The high school marching band led the parade from the parking lot of the high school (before it moved to the hill), up the hill where Jr. Foods once was, around the square, and back to the school. I mention the hill because that was an obstacle for the tractor or trucks pulling the floats.

National Influenza Vaccination Week, Dec. 5-11, 2021 By Susan Dunlap Frankfort, KY - Kentuckians are encouraged to get a flu vaccination during National Influenza Vaccination Week, Dec. 5-11, to prevent the spread of flu this holiday season. "The flu vaccine is the single best way to protect yourself and your loved ones against the flu," said Dr. Steven Stack, commissioner of the Kentucky Department for Public Health (KDPH). "If you are vaccinated, you are less likely to get the flu and spread the flu to those at greatest risk for becoming dangerously ill, including young children, pregnant women, people 65 and older and those with underlying medical conditions. With COVID-19 cases escalating and the added threat of circulating flu viruses, it is imperative that every Kentuckian take the essential steps to protect themselves, their loved ones and their communities." KDPH officials report weekly to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) as part of statewide flu surveillance efforts. Kentucky currently is reporting 36 laboratory-confirmed cases of flu with the state flu activity level currently classified as "Local." The weekly report is now available online and is updated each Friday.

CU: Hartman discusses impact of art and faith on his life By Gerard Flanagan Campbellsville, KY - How did a self-proclaimed goofball end up using his artistic talents to praise God? Tim Hartman hasn't taken the typical route in sharing the message of God. You won't find him behind a pulpit on Sunday morning. Instead, you'll likely find him doing a stand-up comedy act or performing in a play. "God made us to be creative," Hartman, who lives in Pittsburgh, PA, said during a speaking engagement via Zoom to Campbellsville University theater students recently at the Russ Mobley Theater. "God blessed me with lots of different skills. I learned early on I wanted art to be the general thrust of what I did."
