Neomie Jasper, 96, Russell County, KY (1926-2022)

Neomie Jasper, of Russell Springs, passed away Sunday, June 12, 2022. She was 96 years of age.

Born March, 14, 1926, she was a daughter of the late Dora and Ina Coffey Wilson. Neomie quit school after second grade to work, doing her part in helping provide for a large family of thirteen. At the age of 18, she wed Cecil Jasper on August 24, 1944. They were married for 49 years and raised five children together, before Cecil's passing in 1996. Neomie enjoyed sewing, especially piecing together quilt tops, and raising a garden. She was a member of the Main Street Church of God. Neomie was a person who always stayed busy throughout her life and never failed to keep an "exceptionally" clean house for as long as she was able to do so.

Employers: Protect workers from heat as temps rise

By Kevin Kinnaird

Frankfort, KY - As temperatures begin to soar in the commonwealth, the Kentucky Labor Cabinet is reminding employers that they have a responsibility to protect employees working in hot conditions.

Kentucky Labor Cabinet Secretary Jamie Link is urging employers to establish a heat illness prevention plan, closely monitor workers in hot indoor and outdoor environments, and learn how to recognize and treat various heat-related illnesses.

"Employers are responsible for providing safe workplaces free of known hazards, and that includes extreme heat conditions," Link said. "Asking workers to perform physically exhausting work in dangerously hot conditions without providing breaks, water and shade can result in serious illness and even death."

New resources for Kentuckians fighting addiction

By Morgan Hall

Frankfort, KY - On Monday, June 13, 2022, Gov. Andy Beshear announced that Kentucky is working to establish counties as "Recovery Ready Communities" in an effort to help individuals fighting an addiction receive critical resources at no cost, and work to reduce the ongoing public health crisis that is sweeping across the nation.

This is in response to Gov. Beshear signing House Bill 7 last year, which ensures communities are recovery-ready through the availability of high quality recovery programs offered within their area.

Treatment Resources
  • Call the KY Help Call Center at 833-8KY-HELP (833-859-4357) to speak one-on-one with a specialist who can connect Kentuckians to treatment.

  • Visit findhelpnowky.org to find information about available space in treatment programs and providers based on location, facility type and category of treatment needed.

  • Visit the KSP website to find one of KSP's 16 posts where those suffering from addiction can be paired with a local officer who will assist with locating an appropriate treatment program. The Angel Initiative is completely voluntary, and individuals will not be arrested or charged with any violations if they agree to participate in treatment.
