Gov. Beshear: While COVID-19 Remains a Threat, We Are No Longer In Crisis

Governor thanks Kentuckians for saving lives as mask mandate, capacity restrictions are lifted

FRANKFORT, Ky. (June 11, 2021) – On Friday, Gov. Andy Beshear marked his final regularly scheduled COVID-19 briefing by thanking Kentuckians for their hard work and sacrifices that saved countless lives in the commonwealth.

The Governor also lifted the statewide mask mandate for most settings and ended capacity limits for restaurants, bars and other pubic venues. The mask mandate for vaccinated Kentuckians has been lifted since May 13. A new executive order keeps the mask requirement in place only in certain high-risk settings identified by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention: public transit, long-term care facilities and health care facilities.

Masks are recommended for people in correctional facilities or homeless shelters and people who are immune-compromised, are exhibiting symptoms of COVID-19 or have tested positive for COVID-19 in the past 10 days.

“Today, we are lifting the final restrictions put in place to keep our people safe during this once-in-a-lifetime global pandemic,” said Gov. Beshear. “COVID-19 remains deadly. Our war against it is not yet won. But after more than 15 months of struggle and sacrifice, we can also say this: While COVID-19 remains a threat, we are no longer in crisis.”

The Governor said he was able to make these changes safely because more Kentuckians continue to receive one of the safe and effective COVID-19 vaccines. Everyone ages 12 and older is eligible for their shot of hope. As of today, 2,106,464 people in the commonwealth have received at least their first dose of a COVID-19 vaccine.

Dr. Steven Stack, commissioner of the Kentucky Department for Public Health, said the proof of vaccines’ effectiveness is in the data: The state’s weekly number of COVID-19 cases has declined 93% since January 2021; the state’s number of deaths occurring each week has declined 95% since January 2021; and the state’s number of patients who are hospitalized for COVID-19 has declined 83% since January.

“We would not be here today were it not for the collective effort of so many Kentuckians,” said Dr. Stack. “While I wish it weren’t for this reason, it’s been the privilege of a lifetime to come into Kentuckians’ lives and to serve with the team at the Cabinet for Health and Family Services (CHFS), as well as with local health departments across the state. Thank you, Team Kentucky, and here’s to a better summer ahead.”

The Governor said he would not yet end the commonwealth’s state of emergency because major programs, grants and executive orders that continue to help Kentuckians impacted by COVID-19 would be at risk if it weren’t still in place, including a $96 million grant from the Federal Emergency Management Agency for vaccine distribution and administration.

Kentuckians 18 and older who have been vaccinated for COVID-19 can sign up for three chances to win $1 million dollars. Those 12 to 17 years old can sign up for 15 chances to win a full scholarship to any Kentucky public college, university, technical or trade school. Winners will be announced Friday, July 2; Friday, July 30; and Friday, Aug. 27. To enter the drawings and for more information, visit ShotAtAMillion.ky.gov.

To date, 349,780 Kentuckians have signed up for the $1 million drawings and 19,579 Kentuckians have signed up for the full tuition scholarship drawings.

The Governor thanked close partners in the state’s fight against COVID-19 over the past 15 months, including: American Sign Language interpreter, Virginia Moore; Dr. Stack; and CHFS Secretary Eric Friedlander.

The Governor recognized that for the families of 7,147 Kentuckians lost to the virus, the pain and sadness of the COVID-19 pandemic will never go away. But he said the Kentuckians whose lives were cut short will never be forgotten.

“Reading the ages and counties of the dead, almost daily, is the hardest thing I have ever done,” said Gov. Beshear. “We are in the process of developing a permanent monument that will replace that sea of flags on the Capitol lawn representing every Kentuckian lost to COVID-19, which I hope will inspire generations of future leaders to think about these Kentuckians, these families and the challenges of these times.”

The Governor said Team Kentucky has gotten through the hardships and grief of the past 15 months together, and now can begin the work of building a better Kentucky for all.

“We know that our actions saved thousands, likely tens of thousands of lives. I’ve never felt more pride in our commonwealth and our people than knowing how we did this for one another,” the Governor said.

Vaccination and Case Information
As of 4 p.m. Friday, June 11, Gov. Beshear reported the following COVID-19 numbers:

People vaccinated in Kentucky (have received at least one dose): 2,106,464

New cases today: 237
Positivity rate: 2.05%

For more information on cases and hospital capacity, see the full daily COVID-19 report, which will be updated by 5 p.m. EDT.

HELPFUL HINTS FOR HUSBANDS

HELPFUL HINTS FOR HUSBANDS

GAVEL GAMUT By Jim Redwine

Peg’s recent, and successful, hip surgery has been a rewarding experience, for me. I have learned much and feel an almost female need to share. About half of the human race pretty much already knows what has been recently revealed to me but the testosterone half may profit from my force-fed lessons. Okay, class, let’s begin to lift the veil. Wives might be upset if husbands are made aware that the arcane lore of traditional house hold tasks need no longer be shrouded in mystery, But husbands have a right to know there may be more than one way to clean a house. Just as the insane strictures of military basic training have proven to have no relationship to national defense, much of what many wives demand are the only way to clean house should be relegated to the dustbin of history. May we start with dust itself? 

Until Peg was rendered temporarily non-ambulatory a normal weekend at JPeg Osage Ranch might begin with Peg saying, “We (she meant me) need to get rid of all this dust! I saw a mote lurking along a baseboard in the back bedroom closet. What if someone from the roving movie production company wants to use our place for a scene? How humiliating that could be.”

I pointed out to Peg that the spic and span movie company covered the streets of Pawhuska and Fairfax, Oklahoma with dirt and horse apples. It does not appear dust is a problem for them. I suggested we could simply follow the movie’s example and set up a couple of green screens and project pictures of constantly clean rooms.  Peg did not see the efficacy of such a modern approach. By the way, the Killers of the Flower Moon (Gray Horse) production uses blue (green) screens.

Anyway, back to dusting lessons. Another rigid requirement for housewives, at least Peg, is that every item in the house must be moved and dusted under. I have found that if one does not move an item it is less likely that anyone can tell where there is any dust. Therefore, husbands, just leave things in place and only address any dead flies that may have accumulated nearby. Those probably should be removed as Peg and most other wives can see dead insects even from their convalescent beds. 

Now what about laundry? Peg’s laundry system would put the Nazi army to shame. Each item of dirty clothes must be separated by either white or color, by heavy versus light dirt, by delicate versus hearty material, etc., etc. There is a container for each category and only like items may be washed together with scientific analysis of soap, bleach, and water temperature. I say “poppycock”. Dump ‘em in, turn it on and if every now and then a color runs that’s why there’s a Walmart.

But if washing in lockstep with Peg’s delusional belief that the gods of wash day actually care if a white sock mates up with a dark one, her approach to drying and putting things away is truly in need of some husband rationality. Husbands, do not fold the clothes! No one can’t tell once a tee shirt is in a drawer if it was folded with military creases or stuffed away. And do not waste time on separating items until you want to take something out to wear. You’ll know then what is underwear and what is outer wear.

Well, that’s enough common sense for now. I hope you can see the wisdom of my discoveries but mainly, I hope Peg is still under her meds when this article comes out. By the way, Gentle Readers, thanks for all the well-wishes. Peg is a true trooper and is doing fine.

Otters rally and win in home run derby against Y’alls

0

FLORENCE, Ky. - The Evansville Otters rallied from a three-run deficit in the ninth inning Thursday against the Florence Y’alls to tie the game 9-9 and force an extra-inning home run derby, winning their 10th victory of the season with a 9-0 derby final.

 

The Y’alls took the first lead of the ballgame in the bottom of the first, when Chad Sedio hit his second home run in as many nights with two outs to give the Y’alls a 1-0 lead. After two more two-out singles to Trevor Craport and Harrison DiNicola, an errant throw from catcher Justin Felix trickled into center field, allowing Craport to score from third.

 

The Otters drew back within one a half inning later, thanks to Cristopher Pujols’ one-out bomb to center field. They would tie it up on an Andy DeJesus two-out, two-strike RBI single.

 

The Y’alls regained the lead on a sacrifice fly to center field off the bat of Luis Pintor with the bases loaded. Miles Gordon slammed into the center field fence to make the catch on the run, limiting the damage to just one on a sparkling defensive play.

 

Florence would extend their lead to three in the bottom of the third, when DiNicola would homer with one out and Jordan Brower, who doubled in the inning, would score from third on a sacrifice fly from Will Baker.

 

The Otters would score two in the fourth after a leadoff base hit from John Schultz. He would eventually score on an RBI fielder’s choice hit by DeJesus. Then Felix, who reached base via his second hit-by-pitch, scored on an infield single from Elijah MacNamee.

 

Polo Portela rebounded after struggling through his first three innings to retire the side in order in frames four and five.

 

In the top of the sixth, Evansville tied things up for the second time Thursday night, when MacNamee drove in DeJesus from third with an RBI groundout.

 

Abraham Almonte came on in the sixth to pitch a scoreless inning, but allowed the Y’alls to take a three-run lead in the bottom of the seventh after allowing three earned on four hits and two walks.

 

Tyler Spring came on to end the Y’alls’ rally by striking out Pintor to finish the seventh. Spring would pitch the seventh and eighth innings scoreless.

 

Evansville began the ninth inning down three runs, when Bryce Denton reached on a fielding error by the third baseman. Dakota Phillips brought the tying run to the plate when he followed Denton with a base hit through the right side of the infield. Then, Pujols drove in his second run of the day and brought the Otters within two with a double that put the tying run in scoring position.

 

Evansville’s all-time doubles and RBI leader John Schultz then stepped to plate, and smacked a game-tying, two-run double to right field in the biggest at-bat of the ball game. It was the third time the Otters had rallied to tie the game, the second time from behind three runs.

 

Samson Abernathy came on in the ninth to pitch a 1-2-3 inning and send the game to extras, where Frontier League rules dictate the use of the international tie-breaker rule.

 

The tenth inning began with MacNamee on second base. Denton delivered the go-ahead knock when he doubled into the right field corner with one out, scoring MacNamee.

 

The Y’alls managed to tie the game with the international tie-breaker run, after Logan Sawyer came on to pitch the tenth. Sawyer stranded the winning run at third with a 1-4-6 fielder’s choice, as second baseman Trent Nash made a solid play to glove the grounder that deflected off Sawyer.

 

The end of the tenth sent the game to a Home Run Derby to decide a winner. Riley Krane opened up the derby with five towering home runs. He was followed by Phillips, who also clubbed one. After the Y’alls failed to hit a dinger in their first two chances, Denton only needed three homers to send the Otters to their 10th victory of the season. He clubbed his third and final home run for the Otters in the derby to left field. The Otters won by a derby score of 9-0, with a technical 9-9 final.

 

There was no winning or losing pitcher.

 

With the win, the Otters improve to 10-4 on the season, and edge their way into a first place tie with the Florence Y’alls in the West Division standings.

The Otters open a nine-game homestand from Bosse Field against the Schaumburg Boomers Friday night. First pitch will be at 6:35 p.m. CT.

Tickets can be purchased online at evansvilleotters.com, by calling (812) 435-8686, or at the Bosse Field box office.

Senator Braun Call For Investigation Into Political Weaponization Of IRS Data

0

Following ProPublica’s publication of a “vast trove” of taxpayer information provided to the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) that appears to be confidential information and protected under federal law from disclosure, Senator Mike Braun and colleagues Senator Mike Lee, Senator Marsha Blackburn, Senator Ted Cruz, and Senator Ron Johnson have sent letters to the Acting Treasury Inspector General and the Inspector General for Tax Administration to request a prompt investigation into how this IRS information was lost and to hold accountable any individuals who broke federal law by inappropriately sharing confidential tax information.

“Taxpayers must have the utmost confidence in federal institutions that house their personal and confidential information,” the senators write in the letter. “Regrettably, American citizens have reason to be distrusting, having witnessed IRS personnel weaponize information in recent years for the purpose of targeting certain tax-exempt organizations for political reasons during the Obama Administration.

“Regrettably, it appears personnel with access to American’s personal and confidential information are again misusing protected information for political reasons. Treasury and the IRS must hold accountable any and all individuals who broke federal law by inappropriately sharing the confidential tax information and tax returns of multiple Americans.”
