P-EBT Pandemic Benefits By Crystal Staley/Sebastian Kitchen Eric Friedlander, secretary of the Kentucky Cabinet for Health and Family Services, spoke Tuesday about the Pandemic Electronic Benefit Transfer (P-EBT) program. Since late May, Kentucky families with students who normally receive free or reduced-cost meals at school have been eligible for financial assistance to replace those meals through the U.S. Department of Agriculture's (USDA) P-EBT program, part of the Families First Coronavirus Response Act. "About 173,000 students in Kentucky's public and private schools have been approved for these benefits," Secretary Friedlander said. "They've received a preloaded P-EBT card, and cardholders have been able to shop for food at local groceries, Amazon.com and Walmart.com." However, Secretary Friedlander said more than 115,000 eligible Kentucky households have not applied for the P-EBT benefits they deserve. Secretary Friedlander said the deadline to apply for the P-EBT program is Monday, Aug. 31, 2020, at benefind.ky.gov. "There is no cost to the recipient, and families who receive P-EBT benefits will not have to pay back the benefits," Secretary Friedlander said. "These benefits are not taxable." 2020-08-25 18:45:30 | Comments | Printable version
Coleman announces Last Mile internet service By Crystal Staley/Sebastian Kitchen Today, Lt. Gov. Jacqueline Coleman announced a plan to allocate $8 million to provide "Last Mile" internet service to all Kentucky students from kindergarten through 12th grade. "COVID-19 has not only created new and unique challenges we must confront, it has brought to surface issues that have been plaguing our communities for generations. These underlying issues disproportionately affect communities of color and Kentuckians who live in poverty," the Lieutenant Governor said. "One of these issues is lack of access to high-speed internet." Lt. Gov. Coleman noted that as schools have transitioned to using more nontraditional-instruction (NTI) days, it has broadened the educational gap for many communities.

COVID-19 questions answered by Health Department staff A media Zoom meeting was held by the Lake Cumberland District Health Department on August 19, 2020 for questions from the ten counties of the District and answers from staff. A list of questions was presented to our staff by the media. We also included the responses to the questions from last week that we did not cover in a zoom conference because of a scheduling conflict. Some of the key questions and answers follow: By Amy Tomlinson Lake Cumberland District Health Department Q - Why does a person in isolation with a positive result not have to retest in order to be released from isolation with a negative test? At one time, a person was required to have 2 negative test results before being released, but now cases are released by the discretion of a worker without any additional required testing even when a patient is still symptomatic. What assurance is there that the patient is not a carrier of the virus for longer than someone else might be without additional testing?

Remembering days at Edmonton Stockyard By Phillip Coffey Going to the stockyard feeling sleepy and free with our Uncle Raymond, the skilled cow trader All best friends that forever will be Here we come folks, ’The Ridge Runner Raiders’ Uncle Raymond, Danny and I among the cow herd Each one sold with a high pitch of chatter. Buying ponies with our Fathers’ encouraging word(s) Now stockyard being sold, only memories matter. When I was very young I saw Uncle Raymond’s cattle truck at Keltner Store which was next door.
