GOOD EVENING AND
WELCOME TO "KENTUCKY EDITION"

FROM THE LOUISVILLE STUDIO I'M
CHRISTIE DUTTON FILLING IN FOR
RENEE SHAW.
THANK YOU FOR JOINING US.
TRIBUTES CONTINUE TO POUR IN FOR

EARLIER THIS YEAR AND SPENT MORE
THAN A MONTH IN THE

HIS DEATH COMES ONE DAY AFTER HE
APPEARED IN PUBLIC TO GIVE THE

POOR AND WORKED TO MAKE THE
CHURCH MORE
INCLUSIVE.

WILL BE REMEMBERED FOR HIS
(01:56):
COMPASSION AND
LEADERSHIP.... POSTING ON SOCIAL
MEDIA QUOTE:
" POPE FRANCIS EARNED THE TITLE
"THE PEOPLE'S POPE" BY SHOWING
KINDNESS AND MERCY
STANDING FOR LOVE ABOVE HATE AND
EXTENDING A HAND TO HELP ALL
PEOPLE.
HE LED BY
EXAMPLE, AND HIS HUMILITY AND
DEDICATION TO GOD BROUGHT PEOPLE
TOGETHER.
HIS LOSS IS
GREAT, BUT HIS IMPACT IS
GREATER."
END QUOTE.

FRANCIS... INCLUDING SENATOR

PAPACY, THE HOLY FATHER INVITED
CHRISTIANS FROM EVERY WALK
OF LIFE TO MORE FULLY EMBRACE
THE CALL TO CARE FOR THE
VULNERABLE, INCLUDING THE UNBORN
(02:46):
AND THE POOREST AMONG US.
HE REMINDED US BY WORD AND DEED
THAT WE ARE ALL CALLED TO
LIVES OF FAITHFUL SERVICE."
FATHER JIM SICHKO... WHO SERVES
THE DIOCESE OF LEXINGTON AND MET
WITH POPE FRANCIS
ON SEVERAL OCCASSIONS... POSTED
A STATEMENT ON SOCIAL MEDIA THAT
READS, IN PART QUOTE:
(03:06):
"A SHEPHERD OF DEEP COMPASSION,
UNWAVERING HUMILITY, AND
BOUNDLESS MERCY, POPE
FRANCIS EMBODIED THE VERY HEART
OF CHRIST FOR OUR TIME.
HIS LOVE FOR THE POOR, THE
FORGOTTEN, AND THE BROKEN OPENED
THE DOORS OF THE CHURCH WIDER
THAN EVER BEFORE
REMINDING US ALL THAT MERCY IS
NOT A CONCEPT—IT IS A WAY OF
LIFE."
(03:26):
THE VATICAN HAS NOT ANNOUNCED
ANY SPECIFIC FUNERAL
ARRANGEMENTS, BUT IT'S EXPECTED
TO TAKE PLACE WITHIN THE NEXT
SIX DAYS.
WOODFORD COUNTY ISED IN CLEAN UP
EFFORTS FOLLOWING THE FLOODS.
"KENTUCKY EDITION" TRAVELED TO
(03:48):
THE NEIGHBORHOOD OF SHORE ACRES
TO SEE HOW THEY ARE REBUILDING.
>> THIS WAS THE BIG ONE, THE
RECORD FLOOD THAT EVERYBODY HAD
ALWAYS TALKED ABOUT BUT NOBODY
REALLY TRULY IMAGINED WOULD
HAPPEN.
SO WE'RE LIVING THROUGH IS IT.
BUT WE'RE IN FULL RECOVERY MODE
IT'S ALL HANDS ON DECK.
AND FOLKS ARE, YOU KNOW, I THINK
(04:11):
THEY'RE SEEING THE LIGHT AT THE
END OF THE TUNNEL.
THINGS WON'T BE FULLY BACK TO
NORMAL FOR ANYBODY FOR SOMETIME.
MOST PEOPLE ARE STILL DISPLACED
AND THEY ARE STILL JUST ACTUALLY
MOVING ALL OF THE MUD OUT, THE
DEBRIS EVERYTHING IN THEIR HOUSE
AND GETTING CLEANED UP.
WE ARE IN A HEAVY CLEAN UP
(04:33):
STAGE.
IN SHORE ACRES THE PROPERTIES
SAW 48 FEET IN THE ELEVATION OF
THE FLOODWATERS.
SO THAT MEANT MULTIPLE FEET OF
WATER IN SEVERAL OF THE
PROPERTIES.
SOME SIT A LITTLE LOWER OR
CLOSER TO THE RIVERFRONTAGE.
AND AT LEAST ONE CASE THE
WATERLINE IS ON THE SHINGLES OF
(04:54):
THE ROOF.
>> WE DON'T KNOW HOW MANY PEOPLE
WERE DISPLACED BUT WE KNOW
SOMEWHERE IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD OF
250 HOMES ARE I AM PACKAGED.
AND, AGAIN, MOST OF THESE ARE
NOT LIVABLE AND SOME WILL
ULTIMATELY BE CONDEMNED AND TORN
DOWN.
>> THE NEIGHBOR WHO LIVES UP THE
(05:15):
STREET FROM US HE CALLED ME AND
THAT HE THE REASON WE EVACUATED
HIS HOUSE HAD FLOODED.
HIS HOUSE WAS UNDER WATERED
ALMOST UP TO THE TOP OF THE ROOF
AND HE CALLED BE SUNDAY
AFTERNOON.
MY WIFE AND I THOUGHT WE WOULD
STAY BECAUSE WE THOUGHT THE
HOUSE WAS HIGH ENOUGH AND WE
CALLED THE SHERIFF AND THEY HAD
THAT LEFT THE AREA.
(05:38):
THEIR BOAT WAS THREE-AND-A-HALF
FEET BELOW THAT WINDOW SILL.
I HAD TO HELP MY WIFE CLIMB OUT
THE WINDOW INTO THE BOAT WHICH I
DID AND WE HAVE TWO WONDERFUL
PUPPY DOGS BUT IT WAS CRAZY TO
HAVE TO GO OUT OF A
TWO-AND-A-HALF STOREY WINDOW
INTO A BOAT TO BE SAVED.
(05:58):
WE ARE THINGFUL THEY WERE HERE.
>> WE ARE ENCOURAGING THE
PROPERTY OWNERS TO TAKE
INVENTORY AND DEAL WITH THE
CLEAN UP SO PROPERTY AND BRING
IT ROADSIDE AND IT ALLOWS OUR
ROAD CREWS AND OUR CONTRACTORS
TO APPROPRIATELY DISPOSE OF THE
DEBRIS.
THERE IS A BIG LIFT WHEN YOU ARE
(06:20):
TALKING ABOUT FLOOD DEBRIS.
YOU HAVE VEGETATIVE DEBRIS WHICH
WE DEAL WITH COMMONLY DURING
SEVERE WEATHER AND WE HAVE
CONSTRUCTION AND DEMOLITION
DEBRIS, DRYWALL AND THAT SORT OF
THING.
I DON'T KNOW ANY PROPERTY OWNER
THAT'S GOT, LEFTOVER CAN OF
PAINTED FROM A HOME IMPROVEMENT
(06:42):
PROJECT THAT CAN'T GO TO A
LANDFILL HOUSEHOLD WASTE HAS TO
BE SEPARATED AND THERE'S
APPLIANCES WHICH WE CALL WHITE
DEBRIS AND A LOT WILL GO TO
RECYCLE.
IT'S HARD TO SORT THAT ON A
NARROW COUNTRY ROAD AND MAKE
SURE THAT THE DEBRIS GETS INTO
THE RIGHT PILES SO IT'S DITS
POSED OF PROPERLY.
(07:03):
>> WE NEED THE FEDERAL
ASSISTANCE TO HELP FOLKSES AND
SOME FOLKS WON'T HE ABE ABLE TO
AFFORD TO COME BACK AND THAT IS
THE TRAGEDY.
WE WILL NEVER RETURN TO THE WAY
WE WERE PRIOR TO THE 2025 FLOOD.
BUT OUR GOAL AS COUNTY
GOVERNMENT IS TO REBUILD
STRONGER, AND MAKE SURE THAT WE
ARE MORE RESILIENT.
(07:24):
THOSE THAT CHOOSE TO STAY AND
REBUILD WE WILL SUPPORT THEM AND
MAKE SURE THAT FOLKS FIND GOOD,
LOW PRESSURE LIVING ARRANGEMENTS
AND WE TAKE CARE OF EVERYBODY NO
MATTER WHERE THEY WERE IMPACTED
WE WANT THEM TO REBUILD THEIR
OWN LIVES BETTER AND STRONGER.
>> THERE IS NO WAY WE COULD HAVE
SAVED OURSELVES.
A LOT OF THINGS I WILL DO
(07:45):
DIFFERENTLY.
I'VE LOST A LOT OF VEHICLES AND
A LOT OF EQUIPMENT.
THAT IS NOT INSURED.
I WILL HAVE A DIFFERENT LIFE
THAN WHAT I PLANNED BUT I HAVE A
LIFE TO LIVE SO I'M HAPPY.
FLOOD RECOVER ARE I
AND CLEAN UP ALSO CONTINUES IN
FRANKLIN COUNTY.
FRANKFORT OPENED A MULTIAGENCY
(08:07):
RESOURCE CENTER THIS MORNING.
CITY LEADERS SAY THE CENTER WILL
CONNECT THOSE AFFECTED BY THE
FLOOD WITH LOCAL RESOURCES TO
HELP IN THE REBUILDING PROCESS.
LAYNE WILKERSON POSTED ON SOCIAL
MEDIA THAT FEMA IS EXPECTED TO
BE AT THE LOCATION ONCE
PRESIDENT TRUMP SIGNS THE
FEDERAL EMERGENCY DECLARATION.
HOWEVER, HE IS TELLING PEOPLE
THAT TO WAIT UNTIL THEN TO GET
(08:30):
HELP.
>> LOCAL NONPROFITS WILL BE
ON-SITE AND SOME WILL NATIONAL
NONPROFITS LIKED RED CROSS, THE
SMALL BUSINESS ADMINISTRATION
FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO HAD
BUSINESSES AFFECTED BY THE
FLOODS.
AND ONCE THE PRESIDENT SIGNS THE
INDIVIDUAL ASSISTANCE
DECLARATION FROM FEMA, THE FEMA
(08:52):
LOCATION WILL BE ON-SITE HERE.
HAT HAS BEEN GETTING A LOT OF
PRESS IN TERMS OF WHETHER THE
PRESIDENT WILL SIGN THE FEMA
DECLARATION OR NOT.
I'M ENCOURAGING OUR RESIDENTS
NOT WAIT ON THAT AND NOT COUNT
ON FEMA ALONE.
WE HAVE OTHER RESOURCES THAT ARE
AVAILABLE INCLUDING THE AMERICAN
RED CROSS.
IN THEIR EYES FRANKLIN COUNTY
(09:15):
QUALIFIED FOR INDIVIDUAL
ASSISTANCE CALL 1-800 RED CROSS
SO THEY CAN START HELPING YOU
GET ASSISTANCE NOW.
I WILL PUT THE LINK IN THE
COULDN'TS OF THIS VIDEO AND THEY
WILL BE ON-SITE AT THIS RESOURCE
CENTER GOING FOR.
THE CENTER IS OPEN
(09:35):
MONDAY-FRIDAY 9:00 A.M.-7:00
P.M.
THE FLOODWATERS KENT UP HER
STREET, FORMER SCHOOLTEACHER
SALLY DAVIS WAS HAVING A COOKOUT
AND NEVER THOUGHT THE WATER
WOULD END UP IN THEIR HOMES.
AT 90 YEARS OLD SALLY SAYS THE
LESSON SHE IS SHARING IS TO
(09:56):
COUNT THE BLESSINGS NOT THE
THINGS THAT WERE LOST.
>> WELL, WE THOUGHT IT HAD NEVER
GOTTEN UP AND THE NIGHT BEFORE
WE HAD HAD A COOKOUT AND SAT
OUTSIDE WATCHING THE WATER COME
UP.
NEVER DREAMED IT WAS GOING TO
GET UP.
SO WE HAD NOT PREPARED.
(10:17):
WE MAY LOSE STUFF BUT WE WEREN'T
REALLY AND AT 3:00 A.M. THE NEXT
MORNING I GOT UP ON THE PORCH
AND IT WAS ON MY FRONT STEP.
IT REALLY DIDN'T GET IN THE
FRONT DOOR.
BUT THE BASEMENT, AND IT CAME UP
THROUGH THE VENTS.
(10:37):
LUCKILY, THE CITY MANAGER LIVES
ACROSS THE STREET FROM ME.
HE CALLED AND THEY SENT ONE OF
THE BIG RUBBER RAFTS SO THEY CAN
COULD PULL UP TO MY FRONT DOOR.
AND THEY PUT ME ALL THIS GEAR
AND I HAD ME AND MY DOG INTO
(10:57):
THIS BOAT.
OTHER THAN FLOOD IMPACT IT'S HAD
ON PEOPLE THAT I KNOW, PEOPLE
THAT I DON'T KNOW, THEY ARE
HAVING REAL PROBLEMS, I FEEL
VERY LUCKY.
PEOPLE IN FRANKFORT HAVE REALLY
(11:19):
STEPPED UP TO HELP.
AND I WAS FORTUNATE IN THAT I
COULD HIRE SOMEBODY TO COME AND
CLEAN MINE UP.
A LOT OF PEOPLE GET IN THERE
WITH NOTHING.
AND NOBODY UNLESS SOMEBODY JUST
CAME TO HELP THEM.
IT IS A VERY SAD FEELING WHEN
(11:42):
OUR COUNTRY IS IN SUCH A MESS
AND SO THAT WASN'T MY BIG
CONCERN.
ARE WE GOING TO BE ABLE TO GET
FEMA, ARE THEY GOING TO GIVE
FUNDS ARE THEY GOING TO FIND A
PLACE FOR THE PEOPLE TO GO.
SO IT WASN'T SO MUCH THE FLOOD,
(12:03):
AS IT WAS THE IMPACT IT'S GOING
TO HAVE ON THE PEOPLE OF THIS
COMMUNITY.
THAT CAN'T GET HELP.
YOU KNOW, IF IT WASN'T FOR THAT.
PEOPLE HAVE BEEN SO WONDERFUL TO
HELP ME, THAT I TOLD SOMEONE
YES, I SAID WHAT A WONDERFUL
WORLD THAT WE STILL DO HAVE SOME
(12:24):
PEOPLE THAT CARE ABOUT ABOUT
OTHERS AND NOT JUST WHAT IS
HAPPENING TO THEM.
IT'S NOT ABOUT THINGS.
IT'S ABOUT THE PEOPLE THAT YOU
HAVE THAT ARE SAFE, THAT CARE
ABOUT YOU, AND ARE THERE AND
THEY CAN'T TAKE THAT WITH THE
FLOOD.
SO I SAID I HAVE NO COMPLAINTS
(12:50):
WHATSOEVER.
I'M JUST HAPPY THAT I AM HERE TO
TELL THEM WHAT TO DO.
DAVIS WILL BE
MOVING BACK TO HER HOMETOWN
WHILE REPAIRS ARE BEING MADE ON
THE HOUSE SHE LIVES IN
FRANKFORT.

>>> SOME KENTUCKY TEENS WERE
HONORED IN FRANKFORT FOR THEIR
HABITS BEHIND THE WHEEL.
THEY TOOK PART IN THE KENTUCKY
SAFE TEEN DRIVING CHALLENGE
HOSTED BY THE KENTUCKY
(15:01):
TRANSPORTATION CABINET'S OFFICE
AND AAA IT WAS OPEN TO TEENS
AGES 16-19.
PARTICIPANTS DOWNLOADED AN APP
THAT ANALYZED THEIR DATA SCORING
WAS BASED IN HOW OFTEN THEY
ENGAGED IN RISKY BEHAVIORS.
ACCELERATION AND CORNERING.
(15:22):
OVERALL WE HAVE SEEN A DOWNWARD
TREND IN HIGHWAY FATALITIES BUT
WE MUST DO MORE.
ONE DEATH IS TOO MANY.
THAT'S WHY WE'RE HERE TODAY TO
DO EVEN MORE TO SUPPORT YOU.
THIS CONTEST IS A POSITIVE
INCENTIVE FOR NEW DRIVERS WILL E
AS SAFE AS POSSIBLE.
KNOWING HOW TO DRIVE SAFE IS ONE
THING BUT THE TEENS WERE PUT TO
(15:43):
THE TEST.
THEY WERE MONITORED AND GOT TO
SEE WHERE THEY NEEDED
IMPROVEMENT.
THIS CONTEST IS JUST ONE WAY
WE'RE MAKING SAFETY HEY
PRIORITY.
YOU KNOW THAT MOMENT WHEN YOU
ARE HEAD OUT THE DOOR AND MOM OR
DAD SAYS BE SAFE?
NOW YOU CAN SAY DON'T WORRY I'M
OFFICIALLY ONE OF THE SAFEST
DRIVERS IN KENTUCKY.
(16:03):
THOSE ARE BRAGGING RIGHTS.
>> DURING THE COMPETITION I
DIDN'T HAVE TO MAKE ANY
ADJUSTMENTS TO MY DRIVING HABITS
AS I'VE PRACTICED SAFE DRIVING
FROM THE MOMENT I GOT MY
DRIVINGS PERMIT.
I DID WITNESS NEGLIGENCE FROM
OTHER DRIVERS.
I DON'T THINK PEOPLE REALIZE THE
SEVERITY OF THE CONSEQUENCES
THAT COULD COME IF THEY CONTINUE
(16:25):
TO DEMONSTRATE THE BEHAVIORS.
DRIVING IS A PRIVILEGE AND IT
SHOULD BE TAKEN SERIOUSLY AS IT
CAN TAKE YOU OR SOMEONE ELSE'S
LIFE.
FOUR CASH PRIZES
WERE GIVEN OUT THE FIRST PLACE
WINNER GETTING $2,000.
NOT TOO BAD.

[♪♪]
(17:28):
IT IS A CRUCIAL PART OF ONE OF
OUR CRUCIAL SENSES BUT OUR NOSES
DO MORE THAN JUST HELP US SMELL.
IT'S ALSO ONE OF OUR FIRST LINES
OF DEFENSE WHEN IT COMES TO
KEEPING US HEALTHY.
ON THE LATEST EPISODE OF
KENTUCKY HEALTH Dr. WAYNE
TUCKSON AND HIS GUEST DISCUSS
THE WONDERS OF THE HUMAN NOSE.
(17:51):
>> I MENTIONED IN THE BEGINNING
THAT ABOUT SIX LITERS OF AIR
GOES IN AND OUT THROUGH OUR
NOSES IN A TYPICAL MINUTE.
WHAT ARE SOME OF THESE THINGS
THAT ARE COMING IN THAT MAY GIVE
US A PROBLEM?
>> IT DEPENDS ON YOUR
ENVIRONMENT BUT THERE COULD BE
MANY DIFFERENT THINGS.
(18:11):
SO OBVIOUSLY POLLUTION IS A
SIGNIFICANT ONE, PARTICULATE
MATTER IS AN IMPORTANT ONE.
IT NOT CAN GET INTO THE NOSE BUT
ALSO GET INTO THE REST OF THE
AIRWAY.
AND THEN, ALLERGENS, THEY ARE AN
INTERESTING PHENOMENON BECAUSE
REALLY WE'RE --
WE SHOULDN'T OUR BODIES
(18:34):
SHOULDN'T FEAR AN ALLERGEN A
POLLEN BUT IT DOES.
AND THE NOSE IS THAT FIRST PLACE
TO BLOCK ANY SORT OF PATHOGEN
THAT COULD COME IN.
AN ALLERGEN, WHEN A BODY REACTS
TO AN ALLERGEN IT'S OVERREACTING
TO SOMETHING THAT IS NOT TRULY
(18:56):
HARMFUL.
POLLUTION CAN BE HARMFUL BUT
IT'S TRYING TO REACT TO IT.
THAT IS GR IT GETS SWOLLEN AND
BLOCKS THE AIRWAY IT'S THAT
FIRST PATHWAY OF DEFENSE.
>> YOU ARE A SPECIALIST WITHIN A
SPECIALTY, SO WHAT ARE SOME OF
THE THINGS IN THE NOSE THAT MAKE
IT UNIQUE AS FAR AS OUR BODY
PARTS ARE CONCERNED?
(19:16):
>> SO, THE NOSE IS MORE COMPLEX
THAN YOU MAY INITIALLY REALIZE.
SO ONE, AS I'VE SAID, IT
PROTECTS THE AIRWAY.
IT ALSO MOISTURIZES THE AIR THAT
COMES IN TO TRY TO HELP FLOW OF
(19:40):
THE MUCUS AND HELP THE ENTIRE
REGULATORY SYSTEM.
YOU ALSO HAVE SMELL.
WE HAD MAJOR ISSUES WITH
COVID-19 WITH SMELL LOSS.
AND OTHER OTHER VIRUSES THAT CAN
CONTRIBUTE TO THAT.
AND SMELL IS A VERY IMPORTANT
SENSE AND IT CAN BE COMPLEX
BECAUSE THERE'S NOT JUST ONE
(20:01):
THING THAT CAN CAUSE IT.
AND YOU CAN LEARN
MORE ABOUT THE FACTORS THAT
CAUSE A LOSS OF SHELL AND GET
YOUR NOSE DIRTY WITH THE FACTS
ON THE LATEST EPISODE OF
KENTUCKY HEALTH IT'S STREAMING
ON-LINE AND ON DEMAND AT
KET.ORG.
[♪♪]
(20:26):
PICKLEBALL IS THE FASTEST
GROWING SPORT IN AMERICA AND
KENTUCKY IS NO EXCEPTION.
THERE ARE MORE THAN 700 COURTS
ACROSS THE COMMONWEALTH.
OUR FRIENDS AT KENTUCKY LIFE
EXPLORE THE HISTORY OF THE SPORT
AND EVEN PUT HOST CHIP POLSTON
ON THE COURT TO LEARN A THING OR
TWO ABOUT PICKLEBALL.
(20:48):
[♪♪]
>> AT PARKS AROUND THE STATE YOU
CAN HEAR THAT NOW FAMILIAR SOUND
OF PICKLEBALL.
TO SEE WHAT THE HYPE WAS ABOUT I
DECIDED TO MEET UP WITH COACH
LARRY ROBTDS.
AT 80 YEARS OLD HE HOLDS
NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIPS IN
SINGLES, DOUBLES AND MIXED
DOUBLES PICKLEBALL.
I'M HOPING HE CAN TRAIN ME TO
(21:10):
FACE PROFESSIONAL COMPETITION.
BUT MAYBE I'M GETTING A LITTLE
AHEAD OF MYSELF.
LARRY HOW BIG IS PICKLEBALL?
KENTUCKY?
>> IT'S HUGE OVERWHELMINGLY
HUGE.
WE HAVE PLAYERS THAT CAN'T GET
ON THE COURTS NOW.
AND WE ARE IN THE WILD WEST
BECAUSE EVERYTHING IS BUILDING
AND THERE'S NOT ENOUGH COURTS.
WE HAVE THREE DIFFERENT PRIVATE
(21:31):
COMPANIES COMING IN TO BUILD
PICKLEBALL COURTS IN LEXINGTON.
>> SO THEY ARE MEETING THE
MARKET NEEDS.
>> AND THEY KNEW IT.
I THINK IT'S GOING TO BE HUGE.
>> I LIKE TO HACK AROUND ON THE
WEEKENDS WITH GUYS I WENT TO
COLLEGE WITH.
YOU THINK YOU CAN HELP ME
IMPROVE MY GAME?
>> SURE.
>> LET'S DO IT.
(21:55):
[♪♪]
WHAT IS THE ONE THING MOST
PEOPLE WHO FIRST START PLAYING
PICKLEBALL DO WRONG AND HOW DO
THEY CORRECT IT?
>> THEY GO LIKE THIS.
THEY BEND THAT ELBOW AND FLIP IT
UP IN THE AIR.
>> NOTHING OUT OF THE ELBOW.
>> NO, KEEP IT STRAIGHT.
AND YOU WANT TO CLEAR IT ABOUT
(22:16):
HERE.
SO IT WILL DROP IN THE KITCHEN
AND MAKE ME HIT UP.
>> ALL RIGHT.
>> YOU CHANGED YOUR STROKE.
THAT IS A VERY DIFFICULT SHOT
AND NOBODY DOES IT EVEN THE PROS
DON'T DO THAT.
>> LARRY WAS DETERMINED I WOULD
HIT LIKE THE PROS, TOO, OR AT
LEAST NOT HIT LIKE THAT.
>> YOU GOT TO GET I HAD RID OF
THAT SHOT.
(22:37):
THAT SILLY CUT.
[LAUGHTER]
AND YOU LOVE IT.
>> I DO LOVE THAT SHOT.
>> YOU'RE HITTING JUST LIKE THAT
AND TRYING TO CUT THE BALL IN
HALF, TURN IT LIKE THIS FLAT.
THE ANGLE OF THE PADDLE MAKES IT
GO UP.
>> FLATTER.
SO IT'S ANGLE UP AND PUSH
(22:58):
FORWARD.
THAT'S THE SHOT.
>> GOT IT.
>> THAT'S PERFECT.
>> LARRY THAT WAS FUN.
[♪♪]
I THINK HE DID
GOOD.

READS, IN PART QUOTE:
(03:06):
"A SHEPHERD OF DEEP COMPASSION,
UNWAVERING HUMILITY, AND
BOUNDLESS MERCY, POPE
FRANCIS EMBODIED THE VERY HEART
OF CHRIST FOR OUR TIME.
HIS LOVE FOR THE POOR, THE
FORGOTTEN, AND THE BROKEN OPENED
THE DOORS OF THE CHURCH WIDER
THAN EVER BEFORE
REMINDING US ALL THAT MERCY IS
NOT A CONCEPT—IT IS A WAY OF
LIFE."
(03:26):
THE VATICAN HAS NOT ANNOUNCED
ANY SPECIFIC FUNERAL
ARRANGEMENTS, BUT IT'S EXPECTED
TO TAKE PLACE WITHIN THE NEXT
SIX DAYS.
WOODFORD COUNTY ISED IN CLEAN UP
EFFORTS FOLLOWING THE FLOODS.
"KENTUCKY EDITION" TRAVELED TO
(03:48):
THE NEIGHBORHOOD OF SHORE ACRES
TO SEE HOW THEY ARE REBUILDING.
>> THIS WAS THE BIG ONE, THE
RECORD FLOOD THAT EVERYBODY HAD
ALWAYS TALKED ABOUT BUT NOBODY
REALLY TRULY IMAGINED WOULD
HAPPEN.
SO WE'RE LIVING THROUGH IS IT.
BUT WE'RE IN FULL RECOVERY MODE
IT'S ALL HANDS ON DECK.
AND FOLKS ARE, YOU KNOW, I THINK
(04:11):
THEY'RE SEEING THE LIGHT AT THE
END OF THE TUNNEL.
THINGS WON'T BE FULLY BACK TO
NORMAL FOR ANYBODY FOR SOMETIME.
MOST PEOPLE ARE STILL DISPLACED
AND THEY ARE STILL JUST ACTUALLY
MOVING ALL OF THE MUD OUT, THE
DEBRIS EVERYTHING IN THEIR HOUSE
AND GETTING CLEANED UP.
WE ARE IN A HEAVY CLEAN UP
(04:33):
STAGE.
IN SHORE ACRES THE PROPERTIES
SAW 48 FEET IN THE ELEVATION OF
THE FLOODWATERS.
SO THAT MEANT MULTIPLE FEET OF
WATER IN SEVERAL OF THE
PROPERTIES.
SOME SIT A LITTLE LOWER OR
CLOSER TO THE RIVERFRONTAGE.
AND AT LEAST ONE CASE THE
WATERLINE IS ON THE SHINGLES OF
(04:54):
THE ROOF.
>> WE DON'T KNOW HOW MANY PEOPLE
WERE DISPLACED BUT WE KNOW
SOMEWHERE IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD OF
250 HOMES ARE I AM PACKAGED.
AND, AGAIN, MOST OF THESE ARE
NOT LIVABLE AND SOME WILL
ULTIMATELY BE CONDEMNED AND TORN
DOWN.
>> THE NEIGHBOR WHO LIVES UP THE
(05:15):
STREET FROM US HE CALLED ME AND
THAT HE THE REASON WE EVACUATED
HIS HOUSE HAD FLOODED.
HIS HOUSE WAS UNDER WATERED
ALMOST UP TO THE TOP OF THE ROOF
AND HE CALLED BE SUNDAY
AFTERNOON.
MY WIFE AND I THOUGHT WE WOULD
STAY BECAUSE WE THOUGHT THE
HOUSE WAS HIGH ENOUGH AND WE
CALLED THE SHERIFF AND THEY HAD
THAT LEFT THE AREA.
(05:38):
THEIR BOAT WAS THREE-AND-A-HALF
FEET BELOW THAT WINDOW SILL.
I HAD TO HELP MY WIFE CLIMB OUT
THE WINDOW INTO THE BOAT WHICH I
DID AND WE HAVE TWO WONDERFUL
PUPPY DOGS BUT IT WAS CRAZY TO
HAVE TO GO OUT OF A
TWO-AND-A-HALF STOREY WINDOW
INTO A BOAT TO BE SAVED.
(05:58):
WE ARE THINGFUL THEY WERE HERE.
>> WE ARE ENCOURAGING THE
PROPERTY OWNERS TO TAKE
INVENTORY AND DEAL WITH THE
CLEAN UP SO PROPERTY AND BRING
IT ROADSIDE AND IT ALLOWS OUR
ROAD CREWS AND OUR CONTRACTORS
TO APPROPRIATELY DISPOSE OF THE
DEBRIS.
THERE IS A BIG LIFT WHEN YOU ARE
(06:20):
TALKING ABOUT FLOOD DEBRIS.
YOU HAVE VEGETATIVE DEBRIS WHICH
WE DEAL WITH COMMONLY DURING
SEVERE WEATHER AND WE HAVE
CONSTRUCTION AND DEMOLITION
DEBRIS, DRYWALL AND THAT SORT OF
THING.
I DON'T KNOW ANY PROPERTY OWNER
THAT'S GOT, LEFTOVER CAN OF
PAINTED FROM A HOME IMPROVEMENT
(06:42):
PROJECT THAT CAN'T GO TO A
LANDFILL HOUSEHOLD WASTE HAS TO
BE SEPARATED AND THERE'S
APPLIANCES WHICH WE CALL WHITE
DEBRIS AND A LOT WILL GO TO
RECYCLE.
IT'S HARD TO SORT THAT ON A
NARROW COUNTRY ROAD AND MAKE
SURE THAT THE DEBRIS GETS INTO
THE RIGHT PILES SO IT'S DITS
POSED OF PROPERLY.
(07:03):
>> WE NEED THE FEDERAL
ASSISTANCE TO HELP FOLKSES AND
SOME FOLKS WON'T HE ABE ABLE TO
AFFORD TO COME BACK AND THAT IS
THE TRAGEDY.
WE WILL NEVER RETURN TO THE WAY
WE WERE PRIOR TO THE 2025 FLOOD.
BUT OUR GOAL AS COUNTY
GOVERNMENT IS TO REBUILD
STRONGER, AND MAKE SURE THAT WE
ARE MORE RESILIENT.
(07:24):
THOSE THAT CHOOSE TO STAY AND
REBUILD WE WILL SUPPORT THEM AND
MAKE SURE THAT FOLKS FIND GOOD,
LOW PRESSURE LIVING ARRANGEMENTS
AND WE TAKE CARE OF EVERYBODY NO
MATTER WHERE THEY WERE IMPACTED
WE WANT THEM TO REBUILD THEIR
OWN LIVES BETTER AND STRONGER.
>> THERE IS NO WAY WE COULD HAVE
SAVED OURSELVES.
A LOT OF THINGS I WILL DO
(07:45):
DIFFERENTLY.
I'VE LOST A LOT OF VEHICLES AND
A LOT OF EQUIPMENT.
THAT IS NOT INSURED.
I WILL HAVE A DIFFERENT LIFE
THAN WHAT I PLANNED BUT I HAVE A
LIFE TO LIVE SO I'M HAPPY.
FLOOD RECOVER ARE I
AND CLEAN UP ALSO CONTINUES IN
FRANKLIN COUNTY.
FRANKFORT OPENED A MULTIAGENCY
(08:07):
RESOURCE CENTER THIS MORNING.
CITY LEADERS SAY THE CENTER WILL
CONNECT THOSE AFFECTED BY THE
FLOOD WITH LOCAL RESOURCES TO
HELP IN THE REBUILDING PROCESS.
LAYNE WILKERSON POSTED ON SOCIAL
MEDIA THAT FEMA IS EXPECTED TO
BE AT THE LOCATION ONCE
PRESIDENT TRUMP SIGNS THE
FEDERAL EMERGENCY DECLARATION.
HOWEVER, HE IS TELLING PEOPLE
THAT TO WAIT UNTIL THEN TO GET
(08:30):
HELP.
>> LOCAL NONPROFITS WILL BE
ON-SITE AND SOME WILL NATIONAL
NONPROFITS LIKED RED CROSS, THE
SMALL BUSINESS ADMINISTRATION
FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO HAD
BUSINESSES AFFECTED BY THE
FLOODS.
AND ONCE THE PRESIDENT SIGNS THE
INDIVIDUAL ASSISTANCE
DECLARATION FROM FEMA, THE FEMA
(08:52):
LOCATION WILL BE ON-SITE HERE.
HAT HAS BEEN GETTING A LOT OF
PRESS IN TERMS OF WHETHER THE
PRESIDENT WILL SIGN THE FEMA
DECLARATION OR NOT.
I'M ENCOURAGING OUR RESIDENTS
NOT WAIT ON THAT AND NOT COUNT
ON FEMA ALONE.
WE HAVE OTHER RESOURCES THAT ARE
AVAILABLE INCLUDING THE AMERICAN
RED CROSS.
IN THEIR EYES FRANKLIN COUNTY
(09:15):
QUALIFIED FOR INDIVIDUAL
ASSISTANCE CALL 1-800 RED CROSS
SO THEY CAN START HELPING YOU
GET ASSISTANCE NOW.
I WILL PUT THE LINK IN THE
COULDN'TS OF THIS VIDEO AND THEY
WILL BE ON-SITE AT THIS RESOURCE
CENTER GOING FOR.
THE CENTER IS OPEN
(09:35):
MONDAY-FRIDAY 9:00 A.M.-7:00
P.M.
THE FLOODWATERS KENT UP HER
STREET, FORMER SCHOOLTEACHER
SALLY DAVIS WAS HAVING A COOKOUT
AND NEVER THOUGHT THE WATER
WOULD END UP IN THEIR HOMES.
AT 90 YEARS OLD SALLY SAYS THE
LESSON SHE IS SHARING IS TO
(09:56):
COUNT THE BLESSINGS NOT THE
THINGS THAT WERE LOST.
>> WELL, WE THOUGHT IT HAD NEVER
GOTTEN UP AND THE NIGHT BEFORE
WE HAD HAD A COOKOUT AND SAT
OUTSIDE WATCHING THE WATER COME
UP.
NEVER DREAMED IT WAS GOING TO
GET UP.
SO WE HAD NOT PREPARED.
(10:17):
WE MAY LOSE STUFF BUT WE WEREN'T
REALLY AND AT 3:00 A.M. THE NEXT
MORNING I GOT UP ON THE PORCH
AND IT WAS ON MY FRONT STEP.
IT REALLY DIDN'T GET IN THE
FRONT DOOR.
BUT THE BASEMENT, AND IT CAME UP
THROUGH THE VENTS.
(10:37):
LUCKILY, THE CITY MANAGER LIVES
ACROSS THE STREET FROM ME.
HE CALLED AND THEY SENT ONE OF
THE BIG RUBBER RAFTS SO THEY CAN
COULD PULL UP TO MY FRONT DOOR.
AND THEY PUT ME ALL THIS GEAR
AND I HAD ME AND MY DOG INTO
(10:57):
THIS BOAT.
OTHER THAN FLOOD IMPACT IT'S HAD
ON PEOPLE THAT I KNOW, PEOPLE
THAT I DON'T KNOW, THEY ARE
HAVING REAL PROBLEMS, I FEEL
VERY LUCKY.
PEOPLE IN FRANKFORT HAVE REALLY
(11:19):
STEPPED UP TO HELP.
AND I WAS FORTUNATE IN THAT I
COULD HIRE SOMEBODY TO COME AND
CLEAN MINE UP.
A LOT OF PEOPLE GET IN THERE
WITH NOTHING.
AND NOBODY UNLESS SOMEBODY JUST
CAME TO HELP THEM.
IT IS A VERY SAD FEELING WHEN
(11:42):
OUR COUNTRY IS IN SUCH A MESS
AND SO THAT WASN'T MY BIG
CONCERN.
ARE WE GOING TO BE ABLE TO GET
FEMA, ARE THEY GOING TO GIVE
FUNDS ARE THEY GOING TO FIND A
PLACE FOR THE PEOPLE TO GO.
SO IT WASN'T SO MUCH THE FLOOD,
(12:03):
AS IT WAS THE IMPACT IT'S GOING
TO HAVE ON THE PEOPLE OF THIS
COMMUNITY.
THAT CAN'T GET HELP.
YOU KNOW, IF IT WASN'T FOR THAT.
PEOPLE HAVE BEEN SO WONDERFUL TO
HELP ME, THAT I TOLD SOMEONE
YES, I SAID WHAT A WONDERFUL
WORLD THAT WE STILL DO HAVE SOME
(12:24):
PEOPLE THAT CARE ABOUT ABOUT
OTHERS AND NOT JUST WHAT IS
HAPPENING TO THEM.
IT'S NOT ABOUT THINGS.
IT'S ABOUT THE PEOPLE THAT YOU
HAVE THAT ARE SAFE, THAT CARE
ABOUT YOU, AND ARE THERE AND
THEY CAN'T TAKE THAT WITH THE
FLOOD.
SO I SAID I HAVE NO COMPLAINTS
(12:50):
WHATSOEVER.
I'M JUST HAPPY THAT I AM HERE TO
TELL THEM WHAT TO DO.
DAVIS WILL BE
MOVING BACK TO HER HOMETOWN
WHILE REPAIRS ARE BEING MADE ON
THE HOUSE SHE LIVES IN
FRANKFORT.

TRANSPORTATION CABINET'S OFFICE
AND AAA IT WAS OPEN TO TEENS
AGES 16-19.

THAT'S WHY WE'RE HERE TODAY TO

THIS CONTEST IS A POSITIVE
INCENTIVE FOR NEW DRIVERS WILL E
AS SAFE AS POSSIBLE.
KNOWING HOW TO DRIVE SAFE IS ONE
THING BUT THE TEENS WERE PUT TO
(15:43):
THE TEST.
THEY WERE MONITORED AND GOT TO
SEE WHERE THEY NEEDED
IMPROVEMENT.
THIS CONTEST IS JUST ONE WAY
WE'RE MAKING SAFETY HEY
PRIORITY.
YOU KNOW THAT MOMENT WHEN YOU
ARE HEAD OUT THE DOOR AND MOM OR
DAD SAYS BE SAFE?
NOW YOU CAN SAY DON'T WORRY I'M
OFFICIALLY ONE OF THE SAFEST

DIDN'T HAVE TO MAKE ANY
ADJUSTMENTS TO MY DRIVING HABITS
AS I'VE PRACTICED SAFE DRIVING
FROM THE MOMENT I GOT MY
DRIVINGS PERMIT.
I DID WITNESS NEGLIGENCE FROM
OTHER DRIVERS.
I DON'T THINK PEOPLE REALIZE THE
SEVERITY OF THE CONSEQUENCES
THAT COULD COME IF THEY CONTINUE
(16:25):
TO DEMONSTRATE THE BEHAVIORS.
DRIVING IS A PRIVILEGE AND IT
SHOULD BE TAKEN SERIOUSLY AS IT
CAN TAKE YOU OR SOMEONE ELSE'S
LIFE.
FOUR CASH PRIZES

WINNER GETTING $2,000.
NOT TOO BAD.

(17:28):
IT IS A CRUCIAL PART OF ONE OF
OUR CRUCIAL SENSES BUT OUR NOSES
DO MORE THAN JUST HELP US SMELL.
IT'S ALSO ONE OF OUR FIRST LINES
OF DEFENSE WHEN IT COMES TO
KEEPING US HEALTHY.
ON THE LATEST EPISODE OF
KENTUCKY HEALTH Dr. WAYNE
TUCKSON AND HIS GUEST DISCUSS
THE WONDERS OF THE HUMAN NOSE.
(17:51):
>> I MENTIONED IN THE BEGINNING
THAT ABOUT SIX LITERS OF AIR
GOES IN AND OUT THROUGH OUR
NOSES IN A TYPICAL MINUTE.
WHAT ARE SOME OF THESE THINGS
THAT ARE COMING IN THAT MAY GIVE
US A PROBLEM?
>> IT DEPENDS ON YOUR
ENVIRONMENT BUT THERE COULD BE
MANY DIFFERENT THINGS.
(18:11):
SO OBVIOUSLY POLLUTION IS A
SIGNIFICANT ONE, PARTICULATE
MATTER IS AN IMPORTANT ONE.
IT NOT CAN GET INTO THE NOSE BUT
ALSO GET INTO THE REST OF THE
AIRWAY.
AND THEN, ALLERGENS, THEY ARE AN
INTERESTING PHENOMENON BECAUSE
REALLY WE'RE --
WE SHOULDN'T OUR BODIES
(18:34):
SHOULDN'T FEAR AN ALLERGEN A
POLLEN BUT IT DOES.
AND THE NOSE IS THAT FIRST PLACE
TO BLOCK ANY SORT OF PATHOGEN
THAT COULD COME IN.
AN ALLERGEN, WHEN A BODY REACTS
TO AN ALLERGEN IT'S OVERREACTING
TO SOMETHING THAT IS NOT TRULY
(18:56):
HARMFUL.
POLLUTION CAN BE HARMFUL BUT
IT'S TRYING TO REACT TO IT.
THAT IS GR IT GETS SWOLLEN AND
BLOCKS THE AIRWAY IT'S THAT
FIRST PATHWAY OF DEFENSE.
>> YOU ARE A SPECIALIST WITHIN A
SPECIALTY, SO WHAT ARE SOME OF
THE THINGS IN THE NOSE THAT MAKE
IT UNIQUE AS FAR AS OUR BODY
PARTS ARE CONCERNED?
(19:16):
>> SO, THE NOSE IS MORE COMPLEX
THAN YOU MAY INITIALLY REALIZE.
SO ONE, AS I'VE SAID, IT
PROTECTS THE AIRWAY.
IT ALSO MOISTURIZES THE AIR THAT
COMES IN TO TRY TO HELP FLOW OF
(19:40):
THE MUCUS AND HELP THE ENTIRE
REGULATORY SYSTEM.
YOU ALSO HAVE SMELL.
WE HAD MAJOR ISSUES WITH
COVID-19 WITH SMELL LOSS.
AND OTHER OTHER VIRUSES THAT CAN
CONTRIBUTE TO THAT.
AND SMELL IS A VERY IMPORTANT
SENSE AND IT CAN BE COMPLEX
BECAUSE THERE'S NOT JUST ONE
(20:01):
THING THAT CAN CAUSE IT.
AND YOU CAN LEARN
MORE ABOUT THE FACTORS THAT
CAUSE A LOSS OF SHELL AND GET
YOUR NOSE DIRTY WITH THE FACTS

DECIDED TO MEET UP WITH COACH
LARRY ROBTDS.
AT 80 YEARS OLD HE HOLDS
NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIPS IN
SINGLES, DOUBLES AND MIXED
DOUBLES PICKLEBALL.
I'M HOPING HE CAN TRAIN ME TO
(21:10):
FACE PROFESSIONAL COMPETITION.
BUT MAYBE I'M GETTING A LITTLE
AHEAD OF MYSELF.
LARRY HOW BIG IS PICKLEBALL?
KENTUCKY?
>> IT'S HUGE OVERWHELMINGLY
HUGE.
WE HAVE PLAYERS THAT CAN'T GET
ON THE COURTS NOW.
AND WE ARE IN THE WILD WEST
BECAUSE EVERYTHING IS BUILDING
AND THERE'S NOT ENOUGH COURTS.
WE HAVE THREE DIFFERENT PRIVATE
(21:31):
COMPANIES COMING IN TO BUILD
PICKLEBALL COURTS IN LEXINGTON.
>> SO THEY ARE MEETING THE
MARKET NEEDS.
>> AND THEY KNEW IT.
I THINK IT'S GOING TO BE HUGE.
>> I LIKE TO HACK AROUND ON THE
WEEKENDS WITH GUYS I WENT TO
COLLEGE WITH.
YOU THINK YOU CAN HELP ME
IMPROVE MY GAME?
>> SURE.
>> LET'S DO IT.
(21:55):
[♪♪]
WHAT IS THE ONE THING MOST
PEOPLE WHO FIRST START PLAYING
PICKLEBALL DO WRONG AND HOW DO
THEY CORRECT IT?
>> THEY GO LIKE THIS.
THEY BEND THAT ELBOW AND FLIP IT
UP IN THE AIR.
>> NOTHING OUT OF THE ELBOW.
>> NO, KEEP IT STRAIGHT.
AND YOU WANT TO CLEAR IT ABOUT
(22:16):
HERE.
SO IT WILL DROP IN THE KITCHEN
AND MAKE ME HIT UP.
>> ALL RIGHT.
>> YOU CHANGED YOUR STROKE.
THAT IS A VERY DIFFICULT SHOT
AND NOBODY DOES IT EVEN THE PROS
DON'T DO THAT.
>> LARRY WAS DETERMINED I WOULD
HIT LIKE THE PROS, TOO, OR AT
LEAST NOT HIT LIKE THAT.
>> YOU GOT TO GET I HAD RID OF
THAT SHOT.
(22:37):
THAT SILLY CUT.
[LAUGHTER]
AND YOU LOVE IT.
>> I DO LOVE THAT SHOT.
>> YOU'RE HITTING JUST LIKE THAT
AND TRYING TO CUT THE BALL IN
HALF, TURN IT LIKE THIS FLAT.
THE ANGLE OF THE PADDLE MAKES IT
GO UP.
>> FLATTER.
SO IT'S ANGLE UP AND PUSH
(22:58):
FORWARD.
THAT'S THE SHOT.
>> GOT IT.
>> THAT'S PERFECT.
>> LARRY THAT WAS FUN.

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
