Two die in Raywick residential fire By Stevie Lowery, The Lebanon Enterprise Sara Frances Love and Maxine Irene Love, the residents of a home that was destroyed by fire on Highview Pike in Raywick last week, led very private lives. So much so, their house was almost entirely hidden from the rest of the world. Trees and brush concealed their two-story home, which is undoubtedly the way they wanted it. They valued their privacy. Early April 24, at approximately 6:30 a.m., a school bus driver reported a house on fire at 100 Highview Pike in Raywick, according to Sheriff Clements. The Raywick Fire Department initially responded, and fire fighters from multiple departments were on scene until Wednesday evening when remains of two bodies were found. The medical examiner in Louisville is currently working to identify the remains. Read the full article at lebanonenterprise.com 2019-05-01 11:09:33 | Comments | Printable version
May is National Mental Health Month By Doug Hogan/Beth Fisher Frankfort, KY -. (May 1, 2019) - An estimated one in five, 20% of Americans, struggle with mental illness or other mental health issues. In conjunction with Mental Health Month, in May, the Cabinet for Health and Family Services (CHFS) is joining behavioral health organizations around the state and nation to increase public knowledge and spur action to boost mental health and general wellness. The Department for Behavioral Health, Developmental, and Intellectual Disabilities (BHDID), within CHFS, encourages everyone to consider donating items to a community service organization this month. BHDID leadership say the donation drive's mission is twofold: it serves a population in need and has mental health benefits for those who participate. "We all know somebody dealing with mental health issues, whether it's someone in our own family or at church, school, or work. Mental illness and mental health issues are more common than people recognize," said BHDID Commissioner Wendy Morris. "Engaging in service projects is great for your well-being. We encourage all Kentuckians to look for service projects within their community, and to take time to acknowledge the importance of self-care and your mental health."

Carol Perkins: Bless your heart Previous column: Evolving interests By Carol Perkins When I still owned my screenprinting shop and was opening for business one morning, to my surprise, a lovely couple came to see me from out-of-town. They had once lived here and were "passing through" and thought they'd stop in, is what they said. We chatted for a little while, and I was still reeling from the fact that they would stop to see me since we weren't especially close friends. How nice of them, I was thinking. I didn't realize that they cared that much of me. I was soaring in my misconception. Not long into our conversation about their life elsewhere, they told me of a new business they had just gotten involved in. I'm thinking, "Awe Ha, here we go." As I listened, I grew more and more disappointed. Not focusing on what their new weight loss product might do for me, I was astounded at the gall of them to bring the product to me. They wanted me to "sign up" and sell their product. Here are the words that stung: Article continues... click title or click here to read whole article. 2019-05-01 07:09:11 | Comments | Printable version | See topic Carol Perkins
