Daily News for Friday, June 19, 2020
Governor's Friday update By Crystal Staley/Sebastian Kitchen Frankfort, KY - Gov. Andy Beshear on Friday updated Kentuckians on the state's efforts to combat the novel coronavirus 2019 (COVID-19). "I'm so proud of Team Kentucky," said Gov. Beshear. "As we realize that this fight will be a marathon, not a sprint, we have not lost heart. We have not lost our determination to protect each other. Instead, we have steeled ourselves to live in this new normal until we get a vaccine." Yesterday, the governor signed a proclamation recognizing today, June 19, as Juneteenth National Freedom Day. He will encourage the legislature to adopt it as a state holiday in the next regular session. "In recent months, we've faced troubling reminders that justice is not always blind," said Gov. Beshear. "We've also seen the Black and African-American community suffer disproportionately from COVID-19. We have so much more to do to ensure that all men and women are treated equally, but today we can also commemorate how far we've come."

Remembering Mrs. Margie Burris Coffey By Mike Watson Mrs. Coffey was a dear soul, a loving, caring teacher and friend to the multitudes. The world will be more lonely in her absence for those who knew and loved her. Those touched by her compassion will never be quite the same. Having known her for more than fifty years, she was much like a favorite aunt, always sharing words of encouragement when they were most needed, though she didn't know that. A tiny lady, she would face any obstacle, knowing that her faith and grit would carry her through whatever lay before her. Her kindness was without end, illustrated in her affection for the many children she taught and loved over the decades as a teacher, and mentor.

Carol Perkins: In need of rescue Previous Column: Adventures of an accidental Santa By Carol Perkins With my friend's permission, I will tell her story, which could happen to any of us who are not as strong as we once were. Having a few problems, which I won't discuss, she asked her doctor for advice. He suggested that she sit in a bathtub of warm water and relax. At one in the morning and unable to sleep, she ran warm water into the bathtub and did as he suggested. When that water turned chilly, she drained it and filled the tub again. By the second round, she thought she might be able to sleep, so she drained the water and started to get out. A nice soft towel awaited her. At first, she tried to stand as a person ordinarily would, but her legs were too weak to raise her. Then she put both hands on the side of the tub and tried to pull herself up, but she couldn't do that, either. She said she tried every way possible to get out of that tub, but nothing worked. At two in the morning, she was stuck. Article continues... click title or click here to read whole article. 2020-06-19 08:46:47 | Comments | Printable version | See topic Carol Perkins
