Letter: Perhaps an insect? Marie Freeman writes Found another photo very similar to yours, believed to be an insect? But yours might be worth reporting to them for further evaluation: www.ufosnw.com. Consensus on the site was that the object in the photo is likely an insect.

Letter: What is the number? Rodney White writes: Critical mass theory loosely applied in a social context means that at some point when a sufficient number of people adopt or accept a new idea, then a change happens. I wonder what the number of children murdered in their classrooms has to be, or what number of worshippers in a mosque, synagogue, or church murdered has to be, or how many mass shootings across America have to happen before this country decides to change? Or, is there no number? If not, why? Respectfully, Rodney White 2022-05-26 08:31:34 | Comments | Printable version | See topic Letters and Reader Feedback

Kentucky to extend Medicaid, CHIP postpartum coverage By Susan Dunlap Frankfort, KY - In an effort to improve maternal and child health outcomes and increase access to life-saving health care services for more Kentuckians, Gov. Beshear announced on Wednesday that Kentucky's request to expand Medicaid coverage to a full 12-month postpartum period has been approved by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS). "Ensuring the health and safety of mothers and children is critically important not only for Kentucky families, but in building a brighter and healthier future for our commonwealth," Gov.
