Senator Max Wise: Trust and cooperation needed in schools By Senator Max Wise The 2021 Interim of the Kentucky General Assembly began last month with a meeting of the Interim Joint Committee on Education, on which I serve as co-chairman. A tumultuous 2020-2021 school year leaves us to reflect on the experiences of our students, teachers, parents, and communities. Lessons learned include the limitations of distance learning, how responsive and adaptive schools can be, and how vital positive community cooperation and collaboration are in meeting the holistic needs of our students. Our first committee meeting welcomed stakeholders from the academic community, including representatives from the Kentucky Department of Education as well as multiple local school officials. During the meeting, lawmakers heard about how school districts and personnel have worked to make the most of a challenging 2020-2021 school year. Districts and teachers were able to creatively work together to help meet the needs of students and families. However, there are critical decisions to be considered moving forward. Commanding the attention of many is a discussion on vaccination requirements for Kentucky students.

Andy Beshear and Dr. Steven Stack, commissioner of the Kentucky Department for Public Health, provided an update on the COVID-19 delta variant, a highly contagious strain that is spreading in the commonwealth. "We have the most aggressive variant that we have seen to date in our battle against COVID. It's a serious, even deadly, threat to unvaccinated Kentuckians," said Gov. Beshear. "If more adults don't get vaccinated, it's not just adults who pay the price. It's our kids who will. Many of them can't get vaccinated yet, and they count on us to make good decisions and do the right thing."

T.J. Community Mission provides car seats for newborns The T.J. Community Mission Foundation is partnering with the Women and Newborn Care Department at T.J. Samson Community Hospital to support families in need in this region. Through a $4,500 grant from the Foundation, 30 car seats have been purchased for families in need to ensure that every child delivered at T.J. Samson Community Hospital will have a safe and up-to-date car seat that will last from that first trip home well into the child's toddler years. According to Dr. Mark Hughes, car accidents are one of the leading causes of infant mortality, and having a good car seat that is not expired is critical to child safety. Randy Burns, Executive Director, T.J. Community Mission Foundation said, "Each year hundreds of families from this region choose to deliver their babies at T.J. Samson Community Hospital, but not all of them have access to a car seat. This program is just another way that the T.J. Community Mission Foundation can support the T.J. Team as they continue to go above and beyond in terms of the service provided to those in our care. As we move into this next chapter in the life of the Foundation, we look forward to continuing to make a difference right here at home in southcentral Kentucky."

You meet the nicest people just stopping to ask about a fence By Linda Marcum - Thursday, April 17, 1969 Just outside of Mell, Kentucky there is a long stretch of cedar rail fencing that has stirred many a fellow's curiosity over the years since it was built, and being one of the many, I couldn't resist stopping by the farm house where the fence ended to ask how old it was. A soft spoken, small built woman came to the door and was exceptionally nice about answering a total stranger's questions concerning the fence. She couldn't remember the exact year it was built, however, so we walked across the road to the barn and she called to her husband, 75 year old Perry Acree, and asked what year he had built the fence. Perry stopped his work immediately and yelled back to her, "my God Etta, that must have been 25 years ago at least! Why?"
