Barnett leads CU Quality Enhancement Program By Scarlett Birge Campbellsville, KY - "Life is different when you're a person of color," Jasmine Barnett, director of Church Outreach and FIRST CLASS and associate campus minister, said at Campbellsville University's first Quality Enhancement Program (QEP) of the semester on September 15, 2020. Barnett spoke of facing prejudice and discrimination early in her childhood when her schoolteachers questioned her abilities and intelligence. "I didn't even get a chance initially," she said. She said her white friends quickly got spots in the gifted and talented program, but she was still being doubted when she was named to the program. "My education is important to me," she said. Barnett was salutatorian at Green County High School and spoke of how many people tried to dispute her achievement. "Simply because of my skin color, they questioned me," she said.

Governor's Thursday update: 745 new cases By Crystal Staley/Sebastian Kitchen Frankfort, KY - Gov. Andy Beshear on Thursday updated Kentuckians on the state's continuing efforts to fight the novel coronavirus 2019 (COVID-19). "Let's be thinking about what we can do for others at all times during this virus. This is a time that takes more compassion than any in my lifetime, and that's with every challenge we face right now," said Gov. Beshear. "Let's remember that we've got to listen to each other and we've got to help each other." The Governor also highlighted the news that two Louisville Metro Police Department officers shot last night during protests in Louisville are expected to recover. The Governor noted that he was able to speak directly with one officer and a family member of the other. "We know that the answer to violence is never violence and we are thinking about those two officers and their families," said Gov. Beshear last night. "Hopefully we can find ways not just to listen to each other, but to hear. Stay safe. We care about each and every one of you." Today, the Governor reiterated: "I want to condemn this act of violence in the most stark terms. It is absolutely wrong. We want to make sure that any type of activity or demonstrations remain nonviolent and peaceful. Just one person can mar something that otherwise is done the right way."

Carol Perkins: Please Release Me Previous Column: Carol Perkins: Poor me By Carol Perkins Many articles ago, I told about my days of following Engelbert Humperdink, the King of Romance. A handsome man whose presence drove sane women insane, Engelbert has established a lasting fan base. The last time I saw him was at least fifteen years ago in Las Vegas. I wrongfully assumed he had retired, but at eighty-three, he continues to tour. Good for him! Recently, a good friend tagged me about a YouTube channel featuring Engelbert. I expected repeats of concerts, but I was wrong. Since the beginning of the pandemic (and even before), he has been recording "Tuesday Musedays" and "Flashback Fridays." These episodes run from five minutes to thirty, with topics ranging from personal to professional. Suddenly, I'm transported to the time when dressing up and going to his concerts, hoping for a chance for a backstage pass (which never happened) was as exciting as a birthday celebration. At one concert about thirty years ago at the Palace Theater in Louisville, I ended up on stage. Part of his act was to choose two women, bring them to the stage, and sing to them. (I've written about that in the past). After the performance, I came away with his signature red scarf, which I still have. In one of his Tuesday Musedays, he told of that part of his show and why he had to quit.
