Andy Beshear congratulated the second set of winners in Kentucky's Shot at a Million sweepstakes, the state's vaccine incentive program to encourage Kentuckians to get vaccinated against COVID-19. "Congratulations to all of our winners! When you're the Governor you get to do a lot interesting things, but getting to tell folks they just won a million dollars or that their kid's education is taken care of, that's pretty high on the list of duties I look forward to," said Gov. Beshear. "Now, with the delta variant surging, it's more important than ever that we talk about why we're doing this drawing in the first place. We did it to encourage everyone to get vaccinated. Everyone eligible should sign up for a vaccine and the remaining drawing as soon as possible." The Governor said the second drawing was conducted Thursday, randomly selecting one adult Kentuckian for the $1 million prize and five youth to receive full-ride scholarships to a Kentucky public college, university, technical or trade school. The winner of the $1 million prize is Ginger Schultz from Louisville. Ginger's husband, Michael Essen, also attended the news conference Friday.

KAFC reaches $100M in assets milestone By Sean Southard Frankfort, KY - The Kentucky Agricultural Finance Corporation achieved a financial milestone this spring when it reached more than $100 million in total assets. The Kentucky Agricultural Finance Corporation (KAFC) is the lending arm of the Kentucky Agricultural Development Board (KADB). Together, under the Kentucky Office of Agricultural Policy, the two work in concert to distribute funds from the Tobacco Master Settlement Agreement. The 1998 agreement, requires tobacco companies to pay settling states, including Kentucky, annual installments. The financial milestone came after KADB committed $5 million to KAFC during its May 2021 meeting. Since 2003, the KADB has invested $80 million in KAFC for loans. The additional $20 million in assets includes loans approved by KADB and then transferred to KAFC and interest payments made on all loans over the years.

Carol Perkins: Where are they now? Previous Column: Lanny Nunn and Olivia de Havilland By Carol Perkins In continuing my story about former Metcalfe Countian Lannes Nunn, I thought of the many other graduates who moved away shortly after graduation and wonder where they are. Each senior class was special, and after the many years I spent in the classroom, I might forget a face but seldom a name even though not a location. Facebook has kept people in touch. Lannes (known to us as Lanny) credits hairdresser Fanny Fields of Edmonton as his inspiration to become a hairdresser and his father for believing so strongly in education. "He told Stephania and me that we could never have enough education," said Lannes. During his fifty-six years in the business, he studied at the Vidal Sassoon Academy in London. Not bad for a small-town boy from a town of a thousand people. Although meeting Olivia de Havilland and doing her hair four times in four days was one of the highlights of his career, Lannes said he met many celebrities while working at the Executive Inn in Owensboro.

Andy Beshear today encouraged Kentuckians drawing federal pandemic unemployment insurance benefits to rejoin the workforce before those programs expire Sept. 6.
