FRANKFORT, Ky. (Dec. 4, 2020) – Today, Gov. Andy Beshear encouraged Kentuckians to stay strong in the fight against COVID-19, as the commonwealth is just days away from beginning to administer life-saving vaccines.

“These vaccines are right around the corner. Within the next 10 days or so we might be giving out the first vaccines,” said Gov.

Tis the Season to Love Local

0

City of Evansville officials and community leaders emphasize the need to “Love Local” this holiday season. On the heels of a successful Small Business Saturday, let us remember to safely support the small merchants, local restaurants and organizations providing local experiences throughout the holiday season as they work to recover from the economic impacts and uncertainty of this year.

The months of October through January are the most critical months for most retail and restaurant businesses, and this year they desperately need your patronage. In-person or online, there are numerous ways to “Love Local” in the community.

Shop Small – Online or safely in-person, choose to purchase quality products from local merchants and galleries. And don’t forget about those in the community offering the gift of virtual entertainment, education or experiences.

  • Dine Local – Purchase gift cards, carry-out meals and brews this holiday season to support local food and beverage entrepreneurs. Visit swinchamber.com for a listing of bars, breweries and restaurants offering gift card purchases, holiday meal deals, curbside pick-up and more. Submit meal deals, catering and special offerings to news@swinchamber.com.
  • Share the Love – Share unique gifts, finds and deals from local businesses on social media throughout the holiday season. Your endorsement of a local product, service or experience markets the local businesses and influences the purchases of others.

The quality of life many Greater Evansville residents have come to enjoy is partly because of the entrepreneurial spirit of business owners, managers and their employees who work to provide quality products, service and pleasant shopping and dining experiences in the community.  It’s time to give back to the specialty coffee roasters, merchants, art galleries, breweries and all who make our corner of the world a better place.  It’s time to #lovelocal.

 City and health officials continue to urge the community to abide by safety regulations related to social distancing, wearing face coverings, and sanitizing hands and surfaces, while also helping businesses abide by requirements announced on theIndiana State Department of Health’s website.

 

THE WAR EFFORT

THE WAR EFFORT

GAVEL GAMUT By Jim Redwine

’Ole 19 neither toils nor spins yet it has managed to change the course of history. But, as Jesus advised in the Sermon on the Mount (Matthew 6:25-34), we should not lose the present worrying about the future. Or, more poetically and succinctly, “Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof”. In practical terms we might be well advised to do what we can now as we wait for the coming cure, probably to begin this month but not to be ecumenical until the end of 2021.

With the current rates of infections, hospitalizations, and deaths and closing businesses the “evil thereof” will claim thousands more before vaccines and herd immunity vanquish it. And just as America could have succumbed to another unprovoked and unexpected attack, Pearl Harbor December 07, 1941, we could bury our heads in the sand and not fight back while many die or go broke needlessly awaiting the cure.

Or we can do what the Greatest Generation did and make the sacrifices necessary to save others and ourselves. Unlike those heroes who refused to lose and took up arms to win World War II, we do not have to toil in the defense plants or die in battle for four years of war. All we need to do is wear face masks, wash our hands and maintain safe distances as we carefully patronize eateries and other people-gathering businesses and engage in public events and social gatherings for the remaining few months of our own war with ’Ole 19.

Some of us may need to take more precautions than others. Differing levels of isolation may be advisable for those of us in particularly susceptible categories. But life must proceed. We need not all forego all activity. However, we can all support “the war effort” with sensible measures.

No one wants to be the last soldier to die in our current war. Or, more importantly, none of us wants to be spreading potential death to others. Of course, there are many important and desired activities people may choose to engage in. As with all of life, things are a matter of degree. We each should maintain our right to our own choices. After all, the right to choose is what makes Americans Americans.

On the other hand, our choices should not be made without regard to their consequences to ourselves but more importantly to others. Behaviors can be a matter of free choice while still being responsible. And who knows, maybe we can help keep hard-working store owners afloat as we help ourselves and others.

DR ADAMS

Josephine’s Chocolate Sauce

by Dr. Dan Adams

On low heat, slowly melt 2 squares of cooking semi-sweet chocolate with two sticks of butter in a double boiler.

Then mix dry contents together of 1 & ½ cups of sugar with ½ cup of Hershey’s Dark cocoa.

Finally add 1 cup of light cream, 1 tsp of vanilla, a tiny pinch of salt, and add the dry mixture to the melted butter/chocolate.

Optional:  1 tsp of Corn Starch for “Smoothness”

Cook on low heat mixing frequently, until smooth and syrupy.

It will thicken when cool but, if too thick, can be thinned with a little cream or butter.

This topping is awesome on vanilla, chocolate & peppermint ice cream !!! 

 FOOTNOTE: The recipe can be doubled

“RIGHT JAB AND MIDDLE JAB AND LEFT JAB” DECEMBER 5, 2020

0

“Right Jab And Middle Jab And Left Jab” was created because we have a couple of commenters that post on a daily basis either in our “IS IT TRUE” or “Readers Forum” columns concerning National or International issues.

The majority of our “IS IT TRUE” columns are about local or state issues, so we have decided to give our more opinionated readers exclusive access to our newly created “LEFT JAB and Middle Jab and RIGHT JAB”  column. They now have this post to exclusively discuss national or world issues that they feel passionate about.
We shall be posting the “LEFT JAB” AND “MIDDLE JAB” AND “RIGHT JAB” several times a week.  Oh, “LEFT JAB” is a liberal view, “MIDDLE JAB” is the libertarian view and the “RIGHT JAB is representative of the more conservative views. Also, any reader who would like to react to the written comments in this column is free to do so.
