Gov. Beshear Provides Update on Louisville Demonstrations, COVID-19


FRANKFORT, Ky.
(May 30, 2020) – Gov. Andy Beshear on Saturday said, as the state continues to address the novel coronavirus 2019 (COVID-19), outside groups are poised to create violence against peaceful demonstrators and law enforcement, in the demonstrations related to the death of Breonna Taylor.

This morning, the Governor issued a video message and signed a letter to deploy approximately 350 Kentucky National Guardsmen to help provide safety and protection to the citizens of Louisville.

In his message, the Governor said Breonna Taylor’s death was tragic and that he can never understand the depths of feelings many Kentuckians are experiencing, but he pledged to listen and do everything he could move forward.

He added that the demonstrations started out peacefully, but especially last night, outside groups moved in and are trying to create violence and harm to everybody who is on the streets.

“We can’t let our streets turn violent,” the Governor said. “Breonna’s sister, Juniyah, has stated violence would disrespect her family’s wishes.”

Case information
As of 4 p.m. May 30, Gov. Beshear said there were at least 9,704 coronavirus cases in Kentucky, 247 of which were newly confirmed Saturday.

Friday’s cases were up a fair amount, the Governor said, “We have been reviewing the data from yesterday, and nearly half of the new cases were from long-term care, accounting for more than 37%, and another 9% of cases were from congregate care settings, mainly the federal prison in Lexington.”

He added, “We are reviewing today’s data to see if the pattern is continuing, which is largely a result of our expansive testing initiative in long-term care facilities.”

The Governor also said more than 65,800 tests were reported this week, which to date is believed to be the most in one week. That includes 62,862 PCR and 2,994 serology tests.

Unfortunately, Gov. Beshear reported 13 new deaths Saturday, raising the total to 431 Kentuckians lost to the virus.

The deaths reported Saturday to include 64-, 66- and 94-year-old men from Jefferson County; 86-, 93-, 67-, 84- and 90-year-old women from Jefferson County; a 72-year-old man from Nelson County; an 88-year-old woman from Gallatin County; an 81-year-old man from Metcalfe County; a 69-year-old man from Taylor County and a 70-year-old man from Hopkins County.

The Governor reminded Kentuckians to light their homes, places of business, and places of worship green for compassion.

“In light of the events of the last couple days, compassion is something we need to have on full display,” Gov. Beshear said.

At least 3,232 Kentuckians have recovered from the virus. For additional information, including up-to-date lists of positive cases and deaths, as well as breakdowns of coronavirus infections by county, race, and ethnicity, click here.

CIVIC CENTER PROTESTERS ARRESTED FOR UNLAWFUL CONDUCT

At 12:00 p.m. today a peaceful gathering was assembled at the Four Freedoms Monument. Around 1:30 p.m. the gathering marched to the front of the Civic Center. At its height, there were approximately 300 protesters in the area.

  The Evansville Police Department was on scene standing in front of the Civic Center to observe the crowd and to allow the peaceful protest to continue.

  The protest was still in progress until around 5:15 p.m. when one of the protesters crossed through the police line in an attempt to provoke officers. After one of the protesters crossed the line, a second protester crossed the line as well. At that point, things were being thrown at officers and one of the police horses was struck in the face. During one of the arrests, another officer was struck as well.

  In all, one juvenile and three adults were arrested. Some of the charges include battery on a police officer, disorderly conduct, resisting law enforcement, as well as other charges.

Around 5:26 p.m. the protest was deemed to be unlawful because of the assaults on law enforcement. The order was then given by a commanding officer for the crowd to disperse. The crowd was given a specified amount of time to leave the area. After several minutes, the crowd left the area of the Civic Center.

 

IDOC seeks supplies to make face masks

Among those joining efforts to provide face masks to our front-line workers are offenders in Indiana Department of Correction facilities across the state. Now they need your help.

The IDOC is seeking donations of materials to make face masks for those in need, including veteran’s groups, nursing homes, fellow inmates and correctional facilities staff. Please consider donating 100% cotton material and elastic so the IDOC can continue this important work. Hair ties are also being accepted as a substitute for elastic, which is somewhat scarce right now.

For more information or to donate, contact Jackie Storm at jstorm@idoc.in.gov or 812-398-5050, ext. 3117. Thank you for helping to get Indiana back on track.

Jab And Middle Jab And Left Jab” MAY 31, 2020

Jab And Middle Jab And Left Jab” MAY 31, 2020

“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.

Tarzan is a male brown tabby kitten with a white tuxedo. He was the title character of his “Tarzan” litter, and is now the last remaining one to be adopted. Tarzan is very shy, and you’re not likely to find him quickly when you come visit him in the Cageless Cat Lounge. He would do best in a quieter home with some time to adjust. He’s ready to go home today, neutered & up-to-date on vaccines, for $40. Contact Vanderburgh Humane at (812) 426-2563 or apply online to adopt at www.vhslifesaver.org!
