Daily News for Wednesday, June 2, 2021
Letter: Grand Jury questions Mary Bardin writes: I see postings of cases indicted by Grand Jury, but I don't see anything posted about cases not indicted. I do not understand the system. How are people chosen to be on the Grand Jury? Are there attorneys at the Grand Jury? Who decides what cases go to Grand Jury? I know it is very secretive, but what happens to the cases without enough evidence? Are the cases not indicted held over and taken again. How does this work? I have never been in Grand Jury, but have friends that were, but these people can't explain to me. I have done some medical/legal consulting, but no one has explained the process to me. I have researched but still can't understand the process--nosey by nature I guess.Mary, those are great questions. We reached out to Brian Wright, Commonwealth's Attorney for Adair and Casey Counties, and he has provided detailed responses to all of your questions about the Grand Jury process in Kentucky.

LCDHD COVID-19 Public Information Brief 6/2/2021 By Amy Tomlinson Lake Cumberland District Health Department As announced yesterday at the Governor's press conference, the retrospective audit of our vital statistics data to identify and account for all COVID-19-related deaths is now complete. The review included all death certificates for deaths that occurred from January 1, 2020, to January 31, 2021, and was conducted to identify any additional deaths that were not found through our primary COVID-19 death reporting process. The audit deaths provided today are mainly deaths that occurred prior to November 1, 2021. Going forward, all death certificates are monitored weekly to proactively identify any additional COVID-19 deaths that are not picked up through other methods. So, we are reporting 7 historic deaths today: an 81-year-old from Casey who passed in July of 2020; a 71-year-old from Green who passed in September of 2020; a 90-year-old from Pulaski who passed in September of 2020; a 77-year-old from Pulaski who passed in September of 2020; an 87-year-old from Pulaski who passed in August of 2020; a 76-year-old from Pulaski who passed in September of 2020; and a 57-year-old from Taylor who passed in October of 2020. We added fewer cases today than for the same time period last week so our 7-day-average incidence rate of new cases per 100,000 dropped. Statewide Testing Positivity Rate: 2.77%.

Smithsonian traveling exhibition at CRD June 19-July 24 By Sharon Dodson The Center for Rural Development has been chosen as one of six Kentucky sites to host "Voices & Votes: Democracy in America," a traveling art exhibit presented by the Smithsonian's Museum on Main Street in cooperation with the Kentucky Humanities. The exhibit will be on display at The Center, located at 2292 South U.S. 27 (at Traffic Light 15) in Somerset, from June 19-July 24, 2021. There is no charge to view the exhibit. An opening reception is planned for Saturday, June 19, at 2pmET to welcome the arrival of the exhibit to this region of Kentucky and give the general public its first look at this amazing display. Voices & Votes examines the nearly 250-year-old American experiment of government "of, by, and for the people," and how each generation since continues to question how to form "a more perfect union." "The Center for Rural Development is excited to host Voices and Votes: Democracy in America," said Laura Glover, Managing Director of Marketing and Events. "This traveling art exhibit allows us to reflect on our history and explore what it means to be an active participant in the governance of not only the country but also this community." The exhibit explores the action, reaction, vision and revision that democracy demands as Americans continue to question how to shape the country. From the revolution and suffrage, to civil rights and casting ballots, everyone in every community is part of this ever-evolving story - the story of democracy in America.
