Beshear. "Even with the ability to see more people, we know that COVID-19 is still out there, it's still deadly, it's still dangerous, but if we can take the Healthy at Work precautions and put those in our muscle memory, we can successfully reopen our economy."

Letter: Dad and Ed in the J3 Cub Doug Campbell writes: I so enjoyed Ed's reminiscing about the flight with Dad. The airplane was a J-3 Cub, an iconic airplane that became popular after WW2. I was only a boy but vividly remember my own rides in that plane. I suppose those experiences were as inspirational as they were thrilling as I became a pilot and have flown professionally for over 30 years.Comments re: April 14, 1978 Around Adair with Ed Waggener 2020-05-26 13:33:22 | Comments | Printable version | See topic Letters and Reader Feedback

Public Defenders concerned about return to open court By Cara Lane Cape Frankfort, KY - As a precaution to protect participants from possible exposure and spread of COVID-19, most criminal court proceedings have been suspended since March, but that is about to change and public defender leaders are worried about what they may mean for the health of their attorneys and others in the system. On May 15, the Supreme Court of Kentucky issued an order that trial courts in June could "resume hearing civil and criminal matters using available telephonic and video technology to conduct all proceedings remotely." In the days since the order was issued, however, some trial courts have announced an intention to resume hearings as early as June 1 with all parties physically present in the courtroom, not appearing through remote means as ordered by the Supreme Court. A few courts have already scheduled dockets for early June with hundreds of cases scheduled to be heard in-person each day. According to the leaders of the Department of Public Advocacy (DPA), which is responsible for providing hundreds of public defenders to represent clients before every criminal court in the Commonwealth, those trial courts may be going too far too quickly. Public Advocate Damon Preston said, "The Supreme Court announced a careful plan for a temporary transition stage as a bridge from the period of presumptive court closure that has been in place since March and a future period when courts can return to some degree of normal proceedings. We believe all courts should follow this gradual approach, which begins with online remote hearings." According to Deputy Public Advocate B. Scott West, DPA leaders are concerned about the safety of its employees and clients if in-person court proceedings resume in June.
