The little community of Sulphur Well, Kentucky is known for two primary stories - the healing water, hotel and famous country ham dinners that drew people in the early 1900s, and the tragedy that took father, son and friend away in one hour in 1973. This is about the tragedy.

Gov. Beshear unveils Forward, Together budget proposal From Crystal Staley/James Hatchett Frankfort, KY - On December 18, 2023, less than one week after being sworn in for his second term, Gov. Andy Beshear unveiled his Forward, Together budget proposal, which prioritizes public education and families by funding the largest single pay raise for public school educators and staff in 40 years, fully funding universal pre-K and providing support for child care providers. The Governor's $136.6 billion two-year budget aims to address the concerns that families worry most about by helping the state build a world-class education system; move major infrastructure projects forward; grow jobs; boost public safety; expand health care and support local and state employees who are working to build a better Kentucky. The investments that are needed to move the commonwealth forward are being proposed without spending any of the state's record-largest Rainy Day fund or General Fund surplus. "Kentuckians don't wake up every morning thinking about Democrat or Republican - and neither does this budget," Gov. Beshear said. "We are working to address the things that actually matter to our people ... that are important to everyone. This budget reflects our shared Kentucky values of family, faith and community."

Scam Jam helps Kentuckian overcome Account Takeover fraud From Tasha Stewart Frankfort, KY - Just one week after attending the Owensboro Senior Scam Jam, Miriam Taylor put her new knowledge to use after discovering she was a victim of fraud. She credits the expertise gained from the scam jam for her fast action and hopes that sharing her story will encourage others to attend future events. "I hadn't used my [credit] card in a while, but I got a fraud alert...on my email," explained Taylor. The fraudulent charge was made through an online dating website she had no connection to. Taylor called the number in the fraud alert email and was told a new credit card was on the way. She thought the matter was resolved; however, three new credit cards arrived at her doorstep a few days later. "Not only did I get a card with my name on it, I got cards with names of two other people that I did not know." This time, Taylor called the number on the back of her original credit card. She discovered that someone used her personal information to add five authorized users to her account, commonly referred to as an account takeover.
