DOR: Tax extensions for flood victims in Casey, Cumberland By Jill Midkiff Frankfort, KY - The Kentucky Department of Revenue (DOR) will honor the recently announced IRS special tax relief for taxpayers in any area designated by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) as qualifying for individual assistance due to the effects of severe storms, flooding, landslides and mudslides in Kentucky that began February 27, 2021. Under the provisions of KRS 131.081 (11), Kentucky honors federal extensions related to disaster relief for filing of income tax returns, including payment of tax due. This extension to file and pay taxes does not apply to sales tax and other type of taxes. However, taxpayers with disaster-related delays that are seeking filing extensions or that have been assessed penalties for taxes other than income may contact the DOR to request an extension or a waiver of penalties. Individuals and households affected by severe storms, flooding, landslides and mudslides that reside or have a business in Bell, Boyd, Breathitt, Calloway, Carter, Casey, Clark, Clay, Cumberland, Edmonson, Elliott, Estill, Floyd, Franklin, Graves, Harlan, Jackson, Johnson, Knott, Knox, Lawrence, Lee, Leslie, Letcher, Lincoln, Magoffin, Marion, Martin, Mason, Menifee, Morgan, Ohio, Owsley, Perry, Pike, Powell, Pulaski, Rockcastle, Union, Whitley, and Wolfe counties qualify for tax relief.

Deborah Hensley retires from Adair Middle School Mrs. Deborah Hensley is the last teacher retiring at Adair County Middle School this year. Her career highlights are below. We give her our congratulations and best wishes! - Deb Waddell By Deborah Hensley Teaching students for 28 years at the middle school level has been a great job to look forward to daily. Each day is different. Each class period is different. Each individual is unique, and all these make for a wonderful challenging day. I began my career teaching science at Adair County Middle School in the "old high school" (my alma mater). At that time, one hallway was used by 8th grade, and the rest of the building was closed off due to needed repairs. My students were bussed daily to the high school for lunch.

Final capacity limits to end June 11 Vaccine effectiveness, expanded eligibility allows for easing of restrictions By Crystal Staley/Sebastian Kitchen Frankfort, KY - On Friday, May 14, 2021, Gov. Andy Beshear said the state's emerging economy is set for liftoff as final capacity restrictions related to COVID-19 will end Friday, June 11. Gov. Beshear said the proven effectiveness of vaccinations and expanded vaccine eligibility to include 12- to 15-year-olds is allowing the commonwealth to safely and sustainably ease restrictions. With about 1.9 million Kentuckians vaccinated, the Governor said everyone who is eligible should be able to get a dose of a safe and effective vaccine ahead of June 11. "After a long, dark pandemic - more of our people have gotten their shot of hope, and we have steadily moved to lift the last remaining restrictions put in place to slow the spread of this dangerous virus and save lives," said Gov. Beshear. "Team Kentucky: your patience, hard work and sacrifices have paid off. For those not vaccinated: you have still have time." The Governor said a review of COVID-19 data from the period when many Kentuckians were vaccinated, this March and April, proves the effectiveness of vaccines. Over the two months, total cases declined 18%; hospitalizations declined 19% and deaths declined 48%. In addition to setting the June 11 date for lifting all capacity restrictions, the Governor said Thursday the commonwealth would immediately follow the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's recommendation that fully vaccinated Kentuckians no longer need to wear a mask in most places.
