GOOD EVENING AND WELCOME TO
"KENTUCKY EDITION" FOR TUESDAY
(01:11):
JUNE 17TH I'M CHRISTIE DUTTON
FILLING IN FOR REB REN.
THANK YOU FOR JOINING US.
DANIEL GROSSBERG APPEARED BEFORE
THE LEGISLATIVE ETHICS
COMMISSION THE STATE BOARD
INVESTIGATING HIM.
GROSSBERG IS ACCUSED OF SEXUAL
HARASSMENT AND INAPPROPRIATE
BEHAVIOR.
THE HEARING LASTED MORE THAN SIX
HOURS AND WRAPPED UP JUST BEFORE
(01:31):
OUR BROADCAST.
JUNE LEFFLER TAKES A LOOK BACK
HOW THE YEAR LONG INVESTIGATION
HAS UNFOLDED.
>> GROSSBERG'S COUNSEL AND
PROSECUTOR MADE THEIR CASES TO
THE ETHICS COMMISSION BEHIND
CLOSED DOORS.
FORMER DEMOCRATS IN THE STATE
HOUSE AND OTHER WOMEN SHOWED UP
TO TESTIFY AGAINST THE
LOUISVILLE DEMOCRAT.
(01:51):
MULTIPLE WOMEN ALLEGED GROSSBERG
MADE SEXUALLY INAPPROPRIATE
COMMENTS A LEXINGTON DOWN MEMBER
SAYS GROSSBERG ASKED HER ABOUT
HER GENITALS.
FOLLOWING REPORTING BY THE
LEXINGTON HERALD-LEADER.
GROSSBERG'S FELLOW DEMOCRATS
(02:12):
HAVE CALLED FOR HIS RESIGNATION.
BOOTED HIM FROM COMMITTEE
ASSIGNMENTS AND REMOVED HIM FROM
THEIR CAUCUS.
MEANWHILE HE HAS DENIED
WRONGDOING.
LAST AUGUST HIS ATTORNEY TOLD
THE PAPER GROSSBERG HAS A QUOTE
NEURODIVERGENT DIAGNOSIS WHICH
CAUSED HIM TO MAKE PEOPLE FEEL
(02:32):
UNCOMMON FOR THAGE.
FIRST ELECTED TO THE STATE HOUSE
IN 2022, GROSSBERG RAN UNOPPOSED
IN THE ELECTION HE INTENDS TO
SEEK REELECTION IN 2026 WHERE HE
IS ALREADY DRAWN PO IN THE
PRIMARY.
OPPONENT IN THE PRIMARY.
THE COMMITTEE MAY DECIDE
GROSSBERG'S FATE THERE'S
(02:53):
PROBABLE CAUSE THAT HE VIOLATED
STATE LAW.
THE COMMISSION OFFERED HIM A
SETTLEMENT THAT WOULD HAVE KEPT
HIM IN HIS SEEK BUT PAY A FINE
AND SEEK MENTAL HEALTH
TREATMENT.
HE DENIED THAT OFFER LAST WEEK.
FOR "KENTUCKY EDITION" I'M JUNE
LEFFLER.
NO ACTION WAS
TAKEN.
THE COMMISSION MAY DECIDE NEXT
(03:14):
STEPS AT THE NEXT MEETING.
>>> A CANDIDATE FOR KENTUCKY'S
SIXTH DISTRICT HAS PICKED UP A
NEW ENDORSEMENT.
LIEUTENANT GOVERNOR JACQUELINE
COLEMAN IS THROWING HER SUPPORT
BEHIND DEMOCRAT CHERLYNN
STEVENSON FOR CONGRESS.
THE TWO MADE THE ANNOUNCEMENT
TODAY IN LEXINGTON AND WE CAUGHT
UP WITH THE FORMER STATE
REPRESENTATIVE AND MINORITY
CAUCUS CHAIR FRIDAY NIGHT AT THE
(03:36):
DEMOCRATIC STATE CONVENTION IN
OWENSBORO.
>> WELL, YOU KNOW, WE ARE
LOOKING FORWARD TO GETTING OUT
AND HAVING A GREAT DISCUSSION
ABOUT THE ISSUES.
I THINK THAT FOR A LONGTIME THE
PEOPLE IN THE SIXTH DISTRICT
HAVE NOT HAD A CHAMPION IN
WASHINGTON.
YOU KNOW WE'VE HAD A LOT OF
PEOPLE IN WASHINGTON THAT ARE
ADDING TO THE CHAOS THAT ARE COW
(03:58):
TOWING TO BILLIONAIRES AND THEY
ARE NOT FOCUSED ON BEING SURE
THAT KENTUCKIANS HAVE A GREAT
JOB THAT THEY HAVE QUALITY
AFFORDABLE HEALTHCARE, THAT OUR
KIDS HAVE GREAT SCHOOLS, THAT
THEY ARE DRIVING ON GOOD ROADS
AND SAFE BRIDGES.
YOU KNOW WE HAVE VETERANS LOSING
THEIR HEALTHCARE.
(04:18):
TARIFFS THAT ARE DESTROYING OUR
ECONOMY WE NEED TO BE FOCUSED ON
EVERYDAY WORKING KENTUCKIANS AND
MEETING THEIR NEEDS.
EVERY KENTUCKIAN DESERVES THE
RIGHT TO THRIVE NOT JUST
SURVIVE.
>> CHERLYNN STEVENSON IS HOPING
TO FLIP THE SEAT.
LEXINGTON COUPLE DAVID KLOIBER
(04:39):
LAUNCHED HIS CAMPAIGN.
SO HAS REPUBLICAN STATE
REPRESENTATIVE RYAN DOTSON.
THEY ARE SEEKING TO REPLACE ANDY
BARR RUNNING FOR U.S. SENATE.
>>> AS THE FIGHTING INTENSIFIES
BETWEEN ISRAEL AND IRAN, A
CONGRESSMAN FROM KENTUCKY IS
TAKING STEPS TO STOP THE U.S.
FROM BECOMING MORE INVOLVED HERE
(05:00):
IS THE SOCIAL MEDIA POST FROM
FROM CONGRESSMAN THOMAS MASSIE
OF THE FOURTH DISTRICT.
QUOTE I JUST INTRODUCED AN IRAN
WAR POWERS RESOLUTION WITH
REPRESENTATIVE RO KHANNA TO
PROHIBIT U.S. INVOLVEMENT IN THE
ISRAEL-IRAN WAR THIS IS NOT OUR
WAR.
EVEN IF IT WERE CONGRESS MUST
DECIDE SUCH MATTER AS ACCORDING
(05:21):
TO OUR CONSTITUTION UNQUOTE.
THIS IS BIPARTISAN.
REPRESENTATIVE RO KHANNA OF
CALIFORNIA IS A DEMOCRAT.
ON THE OTHER SIDE, CONGRESSMAN
ANDY BARR OF KENTUCKY SIXTH
DISTRICT IS URGING SUPPORT FOR
PRESIDENT TRUMP.
IN A POST HE SAID QUOTE, WE MUST
STAND WITH PRESIDENT DONALD
TRUMP WITH ISRAEL TO NEVER ALLOW
(05:42):
IRAN TO GET A NUCLEAR WEAPON.
I'M READY TO WORK ON THE HOUSE
FOREIGN AFFAIRS COMMITTEE TO DO
ANYTHING NEEDED UNQUOTE.
>>> MEANWHILE, U.S. SENATOR RAND
PAUL OF KENTUCKY OPPOSED THE TAX
AND BUDGET PLAN BUT HE SAYS THAT
COULD CHANGE IF THE BILL
CHANGES.
SENATOR PAUL TALKED ABOUT IT
(06:03):
SUNDAY ON NBC'S MEET THE PRESS.
>> YOU HAVE BEEN ONE OF THE MOST
OUTSPOKEN REPUBLICAN CRITICS OF
PRESIDENT TRUMP'S TAX AND SPEND
BILL WHAT HE HAS CALLED THE BIG
BEAUTIFUL BILL.
YOU HAVE SAID IT RAISES THE DEBT
CEILING BY FAR TOO MUCH.
TRUMP CALLED YOU THE TOUGHEST
VOTE IN THE HISTORY OF THE U.S.
SENATE.
(06:23):
SENATOR, LET ME ASK YOU AS OF
TODAY ARE YOU A YES ON THIS BILL
OR A NO?
>> I TAKE THAT AS A COMPLIMENT
AND I TALKED TO THE PRESIDENT
LAST EVENING AFTER THE PARADE.
AND WE'RE TRYING TO GET TO A
BETTER PLACE IN OUR
CONVERSATIONS.
AND I'VE LET HIM KNOW I AM NOT
AN ABSOLUTE NO.
(06:44):
I LIKE THE TAX CUTS.
I AGREE THAT A LOT OF TIMES WE
CUT RATES WE GET MORE REVENUE.
I DON'T HAVE TROUBLE WITH THE
TAX CUTS THERE SHOULD BE MORE
SPENDING CUTS IF THEY WANT MY
VOTE THEY HAVE TO NEGOTIATE
BECAUSE I DO NOT WANT TO VOTE TO
RAISE THE DEBT CEILING $5
TRILLION.
CONGRESS IS AWFUL WITH MONEY
(07:05):
GIVE THEM A MORE RESTRICTED DEBT
CEILING.
IT OUGHT TO GO UP AND WE SHOULD
HAVE A RENEWED DEBATE ABOUT THE
DEBT.
WE SHOULD NOT WAIT TWO YEARS AND
GO THROUGH ANOTHER ELECTION
CYCLE AND SAY OH, WHOOPS, WE'VE
ADDED DEBT.
WE SHOULD KEEP TALKING ABOUT IT.
(07:25):
>> TWO MORE QUESTIONS AND ONE
MINUTE LEFT.
WHAT IS IT GOING TO TAKE YOU TO
GET TO A YES SPECIFICALLY
QUICKLY?
>> SEPARATE OUT THE DEBT CEILING
AND HAVE A SEPARATE VOTE ON IT.
I WON'T BE THE DECIDING VOTE
THIS IS WHAT I TELL MY
SUPPORTERS IF I AM THE DECIDING
VOTE THEY WILL NEGOTIATE IF I'M
NOT THEY WON'T.
THEY'VE BEEN SENDING THEIR
(07:47):
ATTACK DOGS AFTER ME AND THAT IS
NOT A GREAT TECHNIQUE BUT I WILL
NEGOTIATE.
BUT THEY HAVE TO BE WILLING TO
NEGOTIATE ON THE DEBT CEILING
BECAUSE I'M CONSERVATIVE AND I'M
NO LONGER BE CONSERVATIVE
BECAUSE THE PRESIDENT WANTS ME
TO VOTE FOR SOMETHING.
THAT BILL HAS
ALREADY PASSED THE U.S. HOUSE
NARROWLY.
IT'S NOW BEFORE THE U.S. SENATE
(08:07):
AND SENATORS HAVE BEEN MAKING
CHANGES TO IT.
THE HOUSE WOULD HAVE TO AGREE TO
THOSE CHANGES AND DEMOCRATS HAVE
DENOUNCED THE BILL SAYING IT
CUTS MEDICARE AND MEDICAID TO
PAY FOR TAX CUTS THAT BENEFIT
THE WEALTHY.
>>> THEY KEEP AMERICA SAFE,
TODAY LAWMAKERS HEARD FROM
LEADERS OF AMERICA'S
INTELLIGENCE COMMUNITY ABOUT
(08:28):
THEIR BUDGET REQUESTS FOR FISCAL
YEAR 2026.
TULSI GABBARD, THE DIRECTOR OF
NATIONAL INTELLIGENCE AND OTHERS
TESTIFIED BEFORE THE SENATE'S
SUBCOMMITTEE ON DEFENSE CHAIRED
BY MITCH McCONNELL.
IT WAS A CLOSED DOOR MEETING.
SENATOR McCONNELL PUT OUT THIS
(08:48):
STATEMENT QUOTE U.S. NATIONAL
SECURITY DEPENDS ON THE
PROFESSIONALISM, OBJECTIVITY AND
INTEGRITY OF A WELL RESOURCED
INTELLIGENCE COMMUNITY.
FIGHTING CONFLICT IS FAR
COSTLIER THAN DETERRING IT AND
THE COST OF STRATEGIC SURPRISE,
THE FAILURE OF INTELLIGENCE CAN
BE CATASTROPHIC WHY THE DEFENSE
(09:09):
SUBCOMMITTEE TAKES SERIOUSLY ITS
RESPONSIBILITY TO EQUAP THE IC
FOR AN ARRAY OF EVOLVING
MISSIONS.
END QUOTE.
CONGRESSMAN HAL ROGERS IS

[♪♪]
THANK YOU.
THE MONTH OF MAY WAS STROKE
AWARENESS MONTH BUT IT IS A
CONCERN ALL YEAR-ROUND
(16:07):
ESPECIALLY IN KENTUCKY.
KENTUCKY LIES IN THE SO-CALLED
STROKE BELT AN 11-STATE REGION
WHERE THE RATE OF STROKE IS THE
HIGHEST IN THE COUNTRY AND
PEOPLE DON'T REACT QUICKLY TO A
STROKE LIKE A HEART ATTACK.
Dr. BRYAN ECKERLE A
NEUROLOGIST WITH THE NORTON
GROUP IN LOUISVILLE PROVIDES
CONTEXT ON THE SIGNS AND
(16:28):
SYMPTOMS OF STROKE AND GIVES
ADVICE WHAT PEOPLE CAN DO TO
REDUCE THE RISK.
MORE IN TONIGHT'S LOOK AT
MEDICAL NEWS.
>> WE HAVE A LOT OF OBESITY IN
KENTUCKY AND A LOT OF DIABETES,
AND HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE AND A
LOT OF SMOKING.
THE SOUTH IN GENERAL TENDS TO
HAVE MORE WHAT WE CALL METABOLIC
(16:49):
SYNDROME THAT IS A RISK FACTOR
FOR HEART DISEASE AND STROKE AND
THAT IS ALWAYS ON OUR MINDS.
IT STARTS WITH LIFESTYLE.
DIETARY MODERATION WE DON'T NEED
PEOPLE TO ONLY EAT FRUITS AND
VEGETABLES AND FISH AND CHICKEN
BUT WE TALK ABOUT THE
(17:10):
MEDITERRANEAN DIET AND FRESH
FRUITS AND SHOPPING ON THE
OUTSIDE OF THE GROCERY STORE AND
AVOID THE FROZEN AND CANNED
SECTION AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE.
WATCHING BLOOD PRESSURE,
WATCHING BLOOD SUGAR AND WORKING
WITH DOCTORS TO KEEP THE RISK
FACTORS IN CHECK AS BEST WE CAN.
THE THINGS THAT ARE GOOD FOR
(17:31):
HEART HEALTH ARE GOOD FOR BRAIN
HEALTH.
STOPPING SMOKING, THAT --
SMOKERS CAN REDUCE THEIR RISK OF
STROKE BY A THIRD JUST BY
STOPPING SMOKING.
THAT'S A BIG ONE IN KENTUCKY AND
A BIG ONE NATIONWIDE.
THE THREE BIG ONES ARE EATING
(17:51):
REASONABLY, EXERCISING, AND THEN
MINDING THE RISK FACTORS AND
MANAGING THOSE AS BEST WE CAN.
WHEN I FINISHED RESIDENCY 12
YEARS AGO THERE WERE NO APPROVED
SURGICAL TREATMENTS FOR STROKE.
IN THE LAST 11 YEARS NOW, THE
SORT OF EXPLOSION IN AVAILABLE
(18:12):
SURGICAL TREATMENT FOR A STROKE
HAS BEEN WILD.
WE ARE WHEN I WAS A FELLOW EARLY
ON IN MY FELLOWSHIP WE TOOK A
PATIENT FOR CLOT RETRIEVAL AND
SHE COULDN'T TALK AND MOVE HER
RIGHT SIDE.
BY THE TIME THEY GOT HER FROM
THE OR UP TO THE I.C.U. SHE WAS
MOVING NORMALLY AND TALKING
NORMALLY.
(18:32):
IT WAS BACK TO NORMAL.
IT WAS INCREDIBLE TO SEE.
AND THAT'S THANKFULLY BECOMING
MORE AND MORE COMMON.
AND SEE THAT MORE AND MORE
FREQUENTLY.
THE BIGGEST SORT OF HURDLE AND
CHALLENGE FOR US IS TO CONTINUE
TO GET PEOPLE TO THE EMERGENCY
ROOM AS QUICKLY AS POSSIBLE.
THE TREATMENTS ARE AVAILABLE IF
AND ONLY IF YOU ARE THERE AS
(18:53):
QUICKLY AS POSSIBLE.
SO IT IS --
IT'S WE TALK ABOUT STROKE
AWARENESS IT'S CRUCIALLY
IMPORTANT THAT WE CONTINUE TO
REMIND PATIENTS AND FAMILIES AND
OTHER PHYSICIANS AND HEALTHCARE
WORKERS, GETTING PEOPLE TO THE
EMERGENCY ROOM AS QUICKLY AS
POSSIBLE IS THE PARAMOUNT ISSUE.
(19:16):
STROKES AND HEART ATTACKS HAVE A
LOT IN COMMON.
ONE OF THE DIFFERENCES HEART
ATTACKS HURT SO PEOPLE HAVING
HEART ATTACKS SEEK ATTENTION
BECAUSE THEY ARE IN DISTRESS.
AND STROKES USUALLY DON'T HURT.
WE SEE PEOPLE SOMETIMES DELAY
GETTING TO THE HOSPITAL.
AND THAT THE LONGER YOU WAIT THE
LESS AND LESS LIKELY IT WILL BE
(19:36):
THAT WE WILL HAVE ANYTHING WEIGH
CAN DO.
ANY SUDDEN WEAKNESS ON ONE SIDE
OF THE BODY, NUMBNESS, LOSS OF
SPEECH, LOSS OF VISION, DOUBLE
VISION, LOSS OF BALANCE ANYTHING
THAT CHANGES LIKE A LIGHT SWITCH
SHOULD PROMPT MEDICAL ATTENTION
DO THAT WAIT ON THOSE SYMPTOMS.
(19:57):
DO NOT CALL YOUR SPOUSE OR YOUR
PRIMARY CARE DOCTOR OR YOUR
NEIGHBOR.
CALL 911 AND COME TO THE
HOSPITAL.
WE'LL TAKE IT FROM THERE.
GOOD ADVICE.
STROKE WAS THE FIFTH LEADING
CAUSE OF DEATH IN KENTUCKY IN
2019.
ACCORDING TO THE KENTUCKY HEART
DISEASE AND STROKE PREVENTION
TASK FORCE.
IT DROPPED TO SIXTH PLACE IN
(20:19):
2020 BECAUSE THE LARGE NUMBER OF
COVID DEATHS 2400 KENTUCKIANS
DIED OF STROKES IN 2021.
[♪♪]
WE ARE FOLLOWING THE LOUISVILLE
CARDINALS AS THEY PLAY TODAY IN
THE COLLEGE WORLD SERIES IN
OMAHA, NEBRASKA.
THE CARDS ARE PLAYING OREGON
(20:41):
STATE AND EACH TEAM HAS ALREADY
LOST ONCE.
SO TODAY'S LOSER IS FINISHED IN
THE TOURNAMENT AND WE DON'T WANT
THAT TO BE THE CARDS.
AT THE TIME OF OUR "KENTUCKY
EDITION" DEADLINE LOUISVILLE WAS
UP 6-3 IN THE TOP OF THE NINTH.
WE WILL HAVE THE FINAL RESULTS
FOR YOU TOMORROW ON "KENTUCKY
(21:03):
EDITION."
>>> JENNY WILEY STATE RESORT
PARK STATE RESORT PARK IS A
3,000 ACRE GEM IN KENTUCKY'S
STATE PARK SYSTEM.
HOME TO DEWEY LAKE, A GOLF
COURSE AND MILES OF TRAILS AND
YOU PROBABLY HEARD OF THE PARK.
BUT WHAT ABOUT ITS BACK STORY?
OUR FRIENDS AT KENTUCKY LIFE
PAID A VISIT TO LEARN ABOUT THE
WOMAN FOR WHOM THE PARK IS
(21:24):
NAMED.
[♪♪]
>> THIS IS A STORY THAT EVERYONE
KNOWS BUT NO ONE REALLY KNOWS
WELL.
SO WHO WAS JENNY WILEY?
>> JENNY WILEY WAS A YOUNG WIFE
(21:45):
AND MOTHER ON THE FRONTIER IN
VIRGINIA.
AND IN 1789, HER CABIN WAS
ATTACKED BY A GROUP OF SHAWNEE
CHEROKEE AND OTHER GROUPS.
THEY APPARENTLY HAD BEEN TRYING
TO EXACT REVENGE ON A GUY NAMED
(22:11):
TICE HARMON.
>> HE LED AN EXPLORATION AND
HUNTING ADVENTURES AND ON ONE
PARTICULAR INCIDENT HE RAN INTO
A GROUP OF NATIVE-AMERICANS
WHERE HE FIRED A SHOT FROM HIS
MUSKET AND HE KILLED ONE OF THE
CHIEF'S SONS.
>> ACCORDING TO THE LOWER, IT
WAS A CASE OF MISTAKEN IDENTITY.
(22:34):
THE CHIEF WOULD SEND A GROUP OF
NATIVES BACK TO FOLLOW THEM ALL
THE WAY BACK TO WALKER'S CREEK
VIRGINIA THEY WOULD SHADOW THE
GROUP AND MISTAKENLY PICK
JENNY'S CABIN WHILE HER HUSBAND
WAS AWAY ON A TRADING TRIP AND
THEY WOULD KILL THREE CHILDREN
HER BROTHER AND KIDNAP HER AND
(22:55):
HER INFANT SON.
>> THEY TRAVELED FROM VIRGINIA
AND ENDED UP VERY CLOSE TO THE
STATE PARK RIGHT HERE.
SHE ESCAPED.
SHE GOT TO THE RIVER.
SAW MEN BUILDING A BLOCK HOUSE
OR A CABIN ON THE OTHER SIDE OF
THE RIVER AND YELLED FOR HELP
THEY FASHIONED A CANOE AND CAME
(23:16):
OVER AND SAVED HER.
>> WHEN YOU TALK ABOUT HER
REBUILDING HER LIFE HOW DID HER
DAYS PLAY OUT?
>> THERE ARE ACCOUNTS OF PEOPLE
THAT MET HER LATER AFTER SHE HAD
ESCAPED.
SHE HAD SOME UNDERGONE TRAUMA.
SHE WAS AFFECTED BY WHAT
HAPPENED TO HER.
(23:38):
BUT SHE STILL PERSEVERED.
SHE ENDURED SHE RAISED A FAMILY.
THEY TOLD THE STORY THAT
NEIGHBORS TOLD THE STORY.
PEOPLE IN THIS REGION REALLY
IDENTIFY WITH JENNY WILEY.
>> DO YOU THINK YOU FOUND OUT
WHAT REALLY HAPPENED?
>> WELL, WE KNOW THAT SHE WAS A
(24:00):
REAL PERSON, THIS HORRIBLE THING
HAPPENED TO HER SHE LOST HER
CHILDREN.
AND SHE FOUND THE COURAGE TO
ESCAPE.
AND TO REBUILD HER LIFE NEAR
WHERE ALL OF THIS AWFUL STUFF
HAPPENED.
>> JENNY WILEY STATE RESORT PARK
ORIGINALLY STARTED AS DEWEY LAKE
(24:21):
IN THE EARLY 1950s.
THE THOUGHT WAS WELL DEWEY LAKE
HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH KENTUCKY.
THEY WOULDN'T BE NAMED AFTER
SOMEBODY MORE LOCAL, SOMEBODY
THAT WAS UNIQUE AND IN A REAL
TALE OF THE EASTERN KENTUCKY
APPALACHIA LIFESTYLE.
AND YOU KNOW, WITH THE STORY OF
JENNY WILEY AND TRAGEDY, THE
(24:41):
TRIAL AND THE TRIUMPH, THAT IS
THE STORY OF EASTERN KENTUCKY.
SO IN 1954, WE BECAME JENNY
WILEY STATE RESORT PARK.
>> THIS IS A GOOD OPPORTUNITY TO
HONOR JENNY'S MEMORY.
AND GET INTEREST IN THE REGION.
>> YOU GOT A STORY WITH JENNY
(25:04):
WILEY AND THE HARMONS AND
WANTING TO SETTLE THE WILD WEST.
NO, WE ARE NOT TALKING ABOUT THE
WESTERN STATES.
ONCE UPON A TIME KENTUCKY AND
EASTERN KENTUCKY WAS THAT WILD
WEST.
>> KENTUCKY WAS KNOWN AS THE
LAND OF PLENTY.
THERE WAS A NUMBER OF ANIMALS
(25:24):
FOR THEM TO HUNT.
AND WHEN SETTLERS PUSHED INTO
THIS AREA THEY KILLED THE ELK
OUT AND THE BISON OUT.
>> WE HAD AN ABUNDANCE OF GAME
AND THAT WAS THE DRAW TO
KENTUCKY.
AND HER FAMILY WOULD HAVE SEEN
THESE EASTERN ELK WHICH ARE
(25:44):
EXTINCT TODAY SHE WOULD HAVE
SEEN THEM ALL OVER THE HILLS OF
EASTERN KENTUCKY.
>> THE ELK ARE CLEARLY A DRAW
FOR PEOPLE TO COME SEE.
HOW DID THAT GET RESTORED AND
HOW DID IT START.
>> THE RESTORATION WHAT A GREAT
STORY BEHIND THE BALD EAGLE IT
IS MODERN-DAY RESTORATION STORY
(26:06):
OF ALL TIME.
>> SO IT STARTED WITH SEVEN
WHERE ARE WE TODAY.
>> TODAY WE ARE AT 10600.
>> THAT IS REMARKABLE.
>> IT IS A PHENOMENAL STORY THAT
HAS A LOT OF SIDE STORIES TO IT
AND IF YOU HAVE NOT BEEN HERE TO
(26:28):
SEE THEM YOU ARE MISSING OUT.
>> A BEAUTIFUL WAY TO HONOR HER.
YOU CAN SEE THE REST OF THE
JENNY WILEY STATE RESORT PARK
STORY AND MANY OTHER GREAT
STORIES ABOUT OUR GREAT STATE
ON-LINE AND ON DEMAND AT
KET.ORG/KENTUCKY LIFE.
>>> IT IS A GREAT TIME OF YEAR
FOR ENJOYING THE OUTDOORS AND
NOW THERE IS A WAY TO INCLUDE
(26:50):
EVERYONE.
>> THIS CHAIR JUST OPENS UP THIS
PARK TO SO MANY MORE PEOPLE AND
THEY ARE ABLE TO GO OUT AND
ESCAPE INTO NATURE.
THE ACTION
TRACKCHAIR AT RAVEN RUN IS THE
FIRST IN KENTUCKY AND WE'LL TELL
YOU ALL ABOUT IT TOMORROW ON

THANK YOU FOR JOINING US.
DANIEL GROSSBERG APPEARED BEFORE
THE LEGISLATIVE ETHICS
COMMISSION THE STATE BOARD
INVESTIGATING HIM.
GROSSBERG IS ACCUSED OF SEXUAL
HARASSMENT AND INAPPROPRIATE
BEHAVIOR.
THE HEARING LASTED MORE THAN SIX
HOURS AND WRAPPED UP JUST BEFORE

OUR BROADCAST.
JUNE LEFFLER TAKES A LOOK BACK
HOW THE YEAR LONG INVESTIGATION
HAS UNFOLDED.
>> GROSSBERG'S COUNSEL AND
PROSECUTOR MADE THEIR CASES TO
THE ETHICS COMMISSION BEHIND
CLOSED DOORS.
FORMER DEMOCRATS IN THE STATE
HOUSE AND OTHER WOMEN SHOWED UP
TO TESTIFY AGAINST THE
LOUISVILLE DEMOCRAT.
(01:51):
MULTIPLE WOMEN ALLEGED GROSSBERG
MADE SEXUALLY INAPPROPRIATE
COMMENTS A LEXINGTON DOWN MEMBER
SAYS GROSSBERG ASKED HER ABOUT
HER GENITALS.
FOLLOWING REPORTING BY THE
LEXINGTON HERALD-LEADER.
GROSSBERG'S FELLOW DEMOCRATS
(02:12):
HAVE CALLED FOR HIS RESIGNATION.
BOOTED HIM FROM COMMITTEE
ASSIGNMENTS AND REMOVED HIM FROM
THEIR CAUCUS.
MEANWHILE HE HAS DENIED
WRONGDOING.
LAST AUGUST HIS ATTORNEY TOLD
THE PAPER GROSSBERG HAS A QUOTE
NEURODIVERGENT DIAGNOSIS WHICH
CAUSED HIM TO MAKE PEOPLE FEEL
(02:32):
UNCOMMON FOR THAGE.
FIRST ELECTED TO THE STATE HOUSE
IN 2022, GROSSBERG RAN UNOPPOSED
IN THE ELECTION HE INTENDS TO
SEEK REELECTION IN 2026 WHERE HE
IS ALREADY DRAWN PO IN THE
PRIMARY.
OPPONENT IN THE PRIMARY.
THE COMMITTEE MAY DECIDE
GROSSBERG'S FATE THERE'S
(02:53):
PROBABLE CAUSE THAT HE VIOLATED
STATE LAW.
THE COMMISSION OFFERED HIM A
SETTLEMENT THAT WOULD HAVE KEPT
HIM IN HIS SEEK BUT PAY A FINE
AND SEEK MENTAL HEALTH
TREATMENT.
HE DENIED THAT OFFER LAST WEEK.
FOR "KENTUCKY EDITION" I'M JUNE
LEFFLER.
NO ACTION WAS
TAKEN.
THE COMMISSION MAY DECIDE NEXT
(03:14):
STEPS AT THE NEXT MEETING.
>>> A CANDIDATE FOR KENTUCKY'S
SIXTH DISTRICT HAS PICKED UP A
NEW ENDORSEMENT.
LIEUTENANT GOVERNOR JACQUELINE
COLEMAN IS THROWING HER SUPPORT
BEHIND DEMOCRAT CHERLYNN
STEVENSON FOR CONGRESS.
THE TWO MADE THE ANNOUNCEMENT
TODAY IN LEXINGTON AND WE CAUGHT
UP WITH THE FORMER STATE
REPRESENTATIVE AND MINORITY
CAUCUS CHAIR FRIDAY NIGHT AT THE
(03:36):
DEMOCRATIC STATE CONVENTION IN
OWENSBORO.
>> WELL, YOU KNOW, WE ARE
LOOKING FORWARD TO GETTING OUT
AND HAVING A GREAT DISCUSSION
ABOUT THE ISSUES.
I THINK THAT FOR A LONGTIME THE
PEOPLE IN THE SIXTH DISTRICT
HAVE NOT HAD A CHAMPION IN
WASHINGTON.
YOU KNOW WE'VE HAD A LOT OF
PEOPLE IN WASHINGTON THAT ARE
ADDING TO THE CHAOS THAT ARE COW
(03:58):
TOWING TO BILLIONAIRES AND THEY
ARE NOT FOCUSED ON BEING SURE
THAT KENTUCKIANS HAVE A GREAT
JOB THAT THEY HAVE QUALITY
AFFORDABLE HEALTHCARE, THAT OUR
KIDS HAVE GREAT SCHOOLS, THAT
THEY ARE DRIVING ON GOOD ROADS
AND SAFE BRIDGES.
YOU KNOW WE HAVE VETERANS LOSING
THEIR HEALTHCARE.
(04:18):
TARIFFS THAT ARE DESTROYING OUR
ECONOMY WE NEED TO BE FOCUSED ON
EVERYDAY WORKING KENTUCKIANS AND
MEETING THEIR NEEDS.
EVERY KENTUCKIAN DESERVES THE
RIGHT TO THRIVE NOT JUST
SURVIVE.
>> CHERLYNN STEVENSON IS HOPING
TO FLIP THE SEAT.
LEXINGTON COUPLE DAVID KLOIBER
(04:39):
LAUNCHED HIS CAMPAIGN.
SO HAS REPUBLICAN STATE
REPRESENTATIVE RYAN DOTSON.
THEY ARE SEEKING TO REPLACE ANDY
BARR RUNNING FOR U.S. SENATE.
>>> AS THE FIGHTING INTENSIFIES
BETWEEN ISRAEL AND IRAN, A
CONGRESSMAN FROM KENTUCKY IS
TAKING STEPS TO STOP THE U.S.
FROM BECOMING MORE INVOLVED HERE
(05:00):
IS THE SOCIAL MEDIA POST FROM
FROM CONGRESSMAN THOMAS MASSIE
OF THE FOURTH DISTRICT.
QUOTE I JUST INTRODUCED AN IRAN
WAR POWERS RESOLUTION WITH
REPRESENTATIVE RO KHANNA TO
PROHIBIT U.S. INVOLVEMENT IN THE
ISRAEL-IRAN WAR THIS IS NOT OUR
WAR.
EVEN IF IT WERE CONGRESS MUST
DECIDE SUCH MATTER AS ACCORDING
(05:21):
TO OUR CONSTITUTION UNQUOTE.
THIS IS BIPARTISAN.
REPRESENTATIVE RO KHANNA OF
CALIFORNIA IS A DEMOCRAT.
ON THE OTHER SIDE, CONGRESSMAN
ANDY BARR OF KENTUCKY SIXTH
DISTRICT IS URGING SUPPORT FOR
PRESIDENT TRUMP.
IN A POST HE SAID QUOTE, WE MUST
STAND WITH PRESIDENT DONALD
TRUMP WITH ISRAEL TO NEVER ALLOW
(05:42):
IRAN TO GET A NUCLEAR WEAPON.
I'M READY TO WORK ON THE HOUSE
FOREIGN AFFAIRS COMMITTEE TO DO
ANYTHING NEEDED UNQUOTE.
>>> MEANWHILE, U.S. SENATOR RAND
PAUL OF KENTUCKY OPPOSED THE TAX
AND BUDGET PLAN BUT HE SAYS THAT
COULD CHANGE IF THE BILL
CHANGES.
SENATOR PAUL TALKED ABOUT IT
(06:03):
SUNDAY ON NBC'S MEET THE PRESS.
>> YOU HAVE BEEN ONE OF THE MOST
OUTSPOKEN REPUBLICAN CRITICS OF
PRESIDENT TRUMP'S TAX AND SPEND
BILL WHAT HE HAS CALLED THE BIG
BEAUTIFUL BILL.
YOU HAVE SAID IT RAISES THE DEBT
CEILING BY FAR TOO MUCH.
TRUMP CALLED YOU THE TOUGHEST
VOTE IN THE HISTORY OF THE U.S.
SENATE.
(06:23):
SENATOR, LET ME ASK YOU AS OF
TODAY ARE YOU A YES ON THIS BILL
OR A NO?
>> I TAKE THAT AS A COMPLIMENT
AND I TALKED TO THE PRESIDENT
LAST EVENING AFTER THE PARADE.
AND WE'RE TRYING TO GET TO A
BETTER PLACE IN OUR
CONVERSATIONS.
AND I'VE LET HIM KNOW I AM NOT
AN ABSOLUTE NO.
(06:44):
I LIKE THE TAX CUTS.
I AGREE THAT A LOT OF TIMES WE
CUT RATES WE GET MORE REVENUE.
I DON'T HAVE TROUBLE WITH THE
TAX CUTS THERE SHOULD BE MORE
SPENDING CUTS IF THEY WANT MY
VOTE THEY HAVE TO NEGOTIATE
BECAUSE I DO NOT WANT TO VOTE TO
RAISE THE DEBT CEILING $5
TRILLION.
CONGRESS IS AWFUL WITH MONEY
(07:05):
GIVE THEM A MORE RESTRICTED DEBT
CEILING.
IT OUGHT TO GO UP AND WE SHOULD
HAVE A RENEWED DEBATE ABOUT THE
DEBT.
WE SHOULD NOT WAIT TWO YEARS AND
GO THROUGH ANOTHER ELECTION
CYCLE AND SAY OH, WHOOPS, WE'VE
ADDED DEBT.
WE SHOULD KEEP TALKING ABOUT IT.
(07:25):
>> TWO MORE QUESTIONS AND ONE
MINUTE LEFT.
WHAT IS IT GOING TO TAKE YOU TO
GET TO A YES SPECIFICALLY
QUICKLY?
>> SEPARATE OUT THE DEBT CEILING
AND HAVE A SEPARATE VOTE ON IT.
I WON'T BE THE DECIDING VOTE
THIS IS WHAT I TELL MY
SUPPORTERS IF I AM THE DECIDING
VOTE THEY WILL NEGOTIATE IF I'M
NOT THEY WON'T.
THEY'VE BEEN SENDING THEIR
(07:47):
ATTACK DOGS AFTER ME AND THAT IS
NOT A GREAT TECHNIQUE BUT I WILL
NEGOTIATE.
BUT THEY HAVE TO BE WILLING TO
NEGOTIATE ON THE DEBT CEILING
BECAUSE I'M CONSERVATIVE AND I'M
NO LONGER BE CONSERVATIVE
BECAUSE THE PRESIDENT WANTS ME
TO VOTE FOR SOMETHING.
THAT BILL HAS
ALREADY PASSED THE U.S. HOUSE
NARROWLY.
IT'S NOW BEFORE THE U.S. SENATE
(08:07):
AND SENATORS HAVE BEEN MAKING
CHANGES TO IT.
THE HOUSE WOULD HAVE TO AGREE TO
THOSE CHANGES AND DEMOCRATS HAVE
DENOUNCED THE BILL SAYING IT
CUTS MEDICARE AND MEDICAID TO
PAY FOR TAX CUTS THAT BENEFIT
THE WEALTHY.
>>> THEY KEEP AMERICA SAFE,
TODAY LAWMAKERS HEARD FROM
LEADERS OF AMERICA'S
INTELLIGENCE COMMUNITY ABOUT
(08:28):
THEIR BUDGET REQUESTS FOR FISCAL
YEAR 2026.
TULSI GABBARD, THE DIRECTOR OF
NATIONAL INTELLIGENCE AND OTHERS
TESTIFIED BEFORE THE SENATE'S
SUBCOMMITTEE ON DEFENSE CHAIRED
BY MITCH McCONNELL.
IT WAS A CLOSED DOOR MEETING.
SENATOR McCONNELL PUT OUT THIS
(08:48):
STATEMENT QUOTE U.S. NATIONAL
SECURITY DEPENDS ON THE
PROFESSIONALISM, OBJECTIVITY AND
INTEGRITY OF A WELL RESOURCED
INTELLIGENCE COMMUNITY.
FIGHTING CONFLICT IS FAR
COSTLIER THAN DETERRING IT AND
THE COST OF STRATEGIC SURPRISE,
THE FAILURE OF INTELLIGENCE CAN
BE CATASTROPHIC WHY THE DEFENSE
(09:09):
SUBCOMMITTEE TAKES SERIOUSLY ITS
RESPONSIBILITY TO EQUAP THE IC
FOR AN ARRAY OF EVOLVING
MISSIONS.
END QUOTE.
CONGRESSMAN HAL ROGERS IS

[♪♪]
THANK YOU.
THE MONTH OF MAY WAS STROKE
AWARENESS MONTH BUT IT IS A
CONCERN ALL YEAR-ROUND
(16:07):
ESPECIALLY IN KENTUCKY.
KENTUCKY LIES IN THE SO-CALLED
STROKE BELT AN 11-STATE REGION
WHERE THE RATE OF STROKE IS THE
HIGHEST IN THE COUNTRY AND
PEOPLE DON'T REACT QUICKLY TO A
STROKE LIKE A HEART ATTACK.
Dr. BRYAN ECKERLE A
NEUROLOGIST WITH THE NORTON
GROUP IN LOUISVILLE PROVIDES
CONTEXT ON THE SIGNS AND
(16:28):
SYMPTOMS OF STROKE AND GIVES
ADVICE WHAT PEOPLE CAN DO TO
REDUCE THE RISK.
MORE IN TONIGHT'S LOOK AT
MEDICAL NEWS.
>> WE HAVE A LOT OF OBESITY IN
KENTUCKY AND A LOT OF DIABETES,
AND HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE AND A
LOT OF SMOKING.
THE SOUTH IN GENERAL TENDS TO
HAVE MORE WHAT WE CALL METABOLIC
(16:49):
SYNDROME THAT IS A RISK FACTOR
FOR HEART DISEASE AND STROKE AND
THAT IS ALWAYS ON OUR MINDS.
IT STARTS WITH LIFESTYLE.
DIETARY MODERATION WE DON'T NEED
PEOPLE TO ONLY EAT FRUITS AND
VEGETABLES AND FISH AND CHICKEN
BUT WE TALK ABOUT THE
(17:10):
MEDITERRANEAN DIET AND FRESH
FRUITS AND SHOPPING ON THE
OUTSIDE OF THE GROCERY STORE AND
AVOID THE FROZEN AND CANNED
SECTION AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE.
WATCHING BLOOD PRESSURE,
WATCHING BLOOD SUGAR AND WORKING
WITH DOCTORS TO KEEP THE RISK
FACTORS IN CHECK AS BEST WE CAN.
THE THINGS THAT ARE GOOD FOR
(17:31):
HEART HEALTH ARE GOOD FOR BRAIN
HEALTH.
STOPPING SMOKING, THAT --
SMOKERS CAN REDUCE THEIR RISK OF
STROKE BY A THIRD JUST BY
STOPPING SMOKING.
THAT'S A BIG ONE IN KENTUCKY AND
A BIG ONE NATIONWIDE.
THE THREE BIG ONES ARE EATING
(17:51):
REASONABLY, EXERCISING, AND THEN
MINDING THE RISK FACTORS AND
MANAGING THOSE AS BEST WE CAN.
WHEN I FINISHED RESIDENCY 12
YEARS AGO THERE WERE NO APPROVED
SURGICAL TREATMENTS FOR STROKE.
IN THE LAST 11 YEARS NOW, THE
SORT OF EXPLOSION IN AVAILABLE
(18:12):
SURGICAL TREATMENT FOR A STROKE
HAS BEEN WILD.
WE ARE WHEN I WAS A FELLOW EARLY
ON IN MY FELLOWSHIP WE TOOK A
PATIENT FOR CLOT RETRIEVAL AND
SHE COULDN'T TALK AND MOVE HER
RIGHT SIDE.
BY THE TIME THEY GOT HER FROM
THE OR UP TO THE I.C.U. SHE WAS
MOVING NORMALLY AND TALKING
NORMALLY.
(18:32):
IT WAS BACK TO NORMAL.
IT WAS INCREDIBLE TO SEE.
AND THAT'S THANKFULLY BECOMING
MORE AND MORE COMMON.
AND SEE THAT MORE AND MORE
FREQUENTLY.
THE BIGGEST SORT OF HURDLE AND
CHALLENGE FOR US IS TO CONTINUE
TO GET PEOPLE TO THE EMERGENCY
ROOM AS QUICKLY AS POSSIBLE.
THE TREATMENTS ARE AVAILABLE IF
AND ONLY IF YOU ARE THERE AS
(18:53):
QUICKLY AS POSSIBLE.
SO IT IS --
IT'S WE TALK ABOUT STROKE
AWARENESS IT'S CRUCIALLY
IMPORTANT THAT WE CONTINUE TO
REMIND PATIENTS AND FAMILIES AND
OTHER PHYSICIANS AND HEALTHCARE
WORKERS, GETTING PEOPLE TO THE
EMERGENCY ROOM AS QUICKLY AS
POSSIBLE IS THE PARAMOUNT ISSUE.
(19:16):
STROKES AND HEART ATTACKS HAVE A
LOT IN COMMON.
ONE OF THE DIFFERENCES HEART
ATTACKS HURT SO PEOPLE HAVING
HEART ATTACKS SEEK ATTENTION
BECAUSE THEY ARE IN DISTRESS.
AND STROKES USUALLY DON'T HURT.
WE SEE PEOPLE SOMETIMES DELAY
GETTING TO THE HOSPITAL.
AND THAT THE LONGER YOU WAIT THE
LESS AND LESS LIKELY IT WILL BE
(19:36):
THAT WE WILL HAVE ANYTHING WEIGH
CAN DO.
ANY SUDDEN WEAKNESS ON ONE SIDE
OF THE BODY, NUMBNESS, LOSS OF
SPEECH, LOSS OF VISION, DOUBLE
VISION, LOSS OF BALANCE ANYTHING
THAT CHANGES LIKE A LIGHT SWITCH
SHOULD PROMPT MEDICAL ATTENTION
DO THAT WAIT ON THOSE SYMPTOMS.
(19:57):
DO NOT CALL YOUR SPOUSE OR YOUR
PRIMARY CARE DOCTOR OR YOUR
NEIGHBOR.
CALL 911 AND COME TO THE
HOSPITAL.
WE'LL TAKE IT FROM THERE.
GOOD ADVICE.
STROKE WAS THE FIFTH LEADING
CAUSE OF DEATH IN KENTUCKY IN
2019.
ACCORDING TO THE KENTUCKY HEART
DISEASE AND STROKE PREVENTION
TASK FORCE.
IT DROPPED TO SIXTH PLACE IN
(20:19):
2020 BECAUSE THE LARGE NUMBER OF
COVID DEATHS 2400 KENTUCKIANS
DIED OF STROKES IN 2021.
[♪♪]
WE ARE FOLLOWING THE LOUISVILLE
CARDINALS AS THEY PLAY TODAY IN
THE COLLEGE WORLD SERIES IN
OMAHA, NEBRASKA.
THE CARDS ARE PLAYING OREGON
(20:41):
STATE AND EACH TEAM HAS ALREADY
LOST ONCE.
SO TODAY'S LOSER IS FINISHED IN
THE TOURNAMENT AND WE DON'T WANT
THAT TO BE THE CARDS.
AT THE TIME OF OUR "KENTUCKY
EDITION" DEADLINE LOUISVILLE WAS
UP 6-3 IN THE TOP OF THE NINTH.
WE WILL HAVE THE FINAL RESULTS
FOR YOU TOMORROW ON "KENTUCKY
(21:03):
EDITION."
>>> JENNY WILEY STATE RESORT
PARK STATE RESORT PARK IS A
3,000 ACRE GEM IN KENTUCKY'S
STATE PARK SYSTEM.
HOME TO DEWEY LAKE, A GOLF
COURSE AND MILES OF TRAILS AND
YOU PROBABLY HEARD OF THE PARK.
BUT WHAT ABOUT ITS BACK STORY?
OUR FRIENDS AT KENTUCKY LIFE
PAID A VISIT TO LEARN ABOUT THE
WOMAN FOR WHOM THE PARK IS
(21:24):
NAMED.
[♪♪]
>> THIS IS A STORY THAT EVERYONE
KNOWS BUT NO ONE REALLY KNOWS
WELL.
SO WHO WAS JENNY WILEY?
>> JENNY WILEY WAS A YOUNG WIFE
(21:45):
AND MOTHER ON THE FRONTIER IN
VIRGINIA.
AND IN 1789, HER CABIN WAS
ATTACKED BY A GROUP OF SHAWNEE
CHEROKEE AND OTHER GROUPS.
THEY APPARENTLY HAD BEEN TRYING
TO EXACT REVENGE ON A GUY NAMED
(22:11):
TICE HARMON.
>> HE LED AN EXPLORATION AND
HUNTING ADVENTURES AND ON ONE
PARTICULAR INCIDENT HE RAN INTO
A GROUP OF NATIVE-AMERICANS
WHERE HE FIRED A SHOT FROM HIS
MUSKET AND HE KILLED ONE OF THE
CHIEF'S SONS.
>> ACCORDING TO THE LOWER, IT
WAS A CASE OF MISTAKEN IDENTITY.
(22:34):
THE CHIEF WOULD SEND A GROUP OF
NATIVES BACK TO FOLLOW THEM ALL
THE WAY BACK TO WALKER'S CREEK
VIRGINIA THEY WOULD SHADOW THE
GROUP AND MISTAKENLY PICK
JENNY'S CABIN WHILE HER HUSBAND
WAS AWAY ON A TRADING TRIP AND
THEY WOULD KILL THREE CHILDREN
HER BROTHER AND KIDNAP HER AND
(22:55):
HER INFANT SON.
>> THEY TRAVELED FROM VIRGINIA
AND ENDED UP VERY CLOSE TO THE
STATE PARK RIGHT HERE.
SHE ESCAPED.
SHE GOT TO THE RIVER.
SAW MEN BUILDING A BLOCK HOUSE
OR A CABIN ON THE OTHER SIDE OF
THE RIVER AND YELLED FOR HELP
THEY FASHIONED A CANOE AND CAME
(23:16):
OVER AND SAVED HER.
>> WHEN YOU TALK ABOUT HER
REBUILDING HER LIFE HOW DID HER
DAYS PLAY OUT?
>> THERE ARE ACCOUNTS OF PEOPLE
THAT MET HER LATER AFTER SHE HAD
ESCAPED.
SHE HAD SOME UNDERGONE TRAUMA.
SHE WAS AFFECTED BY WHAT
HAPPENED TO HER.
(23:38):
BUT SHE STILL PERSEVERED.
SHE ENDURED SHE RAISED A FAMILY.
THEY TOLD THE STORY THAT
NEIGHBORS TOLD THE STORY.
PEOPLE IN THIS REGION REALLY
IDENTIFY WITH JENNY WILEY.
>> DO YOU THINK YOU FOUND OUT
WHAT REALLY HAPPENED?
>> WELL, WE KNOW THAT SHE WAS A
(24:00):
REAL PERSON, THIS HORRIBLE THING
HAPPENED TO HER SHE LOST HER
CHILDREN.
AND SHE FOUND THE COURAGE TO
ESCAPE.
AND TO REBUILD HER LIFE NEAR
WHERE ALL OF THIS AWFUL STUFF
HAPPENED.
>> JENNY WILEY STATE RESORT PARK
ORIGINALLY STARTED AS DEWEY LAKE
(24:21):
IN THE EARLY 1950s.
THE THOUGHT WAS WELL DEWEY LAKE
HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH KENTUCKY.
THEY WOULDN'T BE NAMED AFTER
SOMEBODY MORE LOCAL, SOMEBODY
THAT WAS UNIQUE AND IN A REAL
TALE OF THE EASTERN KENTUCKY
APPALACHIA LIFESTYLE.
AND YOU KNOW, WITH THE STORY OF
JENNY WILEY AND TRAGEDY, THE
(24:41):
TRIAL AND THE TRIUMPH, THAT IS
THE STORY OF EASTERN KENTUCKY.
SO IN 1954, WE BECAME JENNY
WILEY STATE RESORT PARK.
>> THIS IS A GOOD OPPORTUNITY TO
HONOR JENNY'S MEMORY.
AND GET INTEREST IN THE REGION.
>> YOU GOT A STORY WITH JENNY
(25:04):
WILEY AND THE HARMONS AND
WANTING TO SETTLE THE WILD WEST.
NO, WE ARE NOT TALKING ABOUT THE
WESTERN STATES.
ONCE UPON A TIME KENTUCKY AND
EASTERN KENTUCKY WAS THAT WILD
WEST.
>> KENTUCKY WAS KNOWN AS THE
LAND OF PLENTY.
THERE WAS A NUMBER OF ANIMALS
(25:24):
FOR THEM TO HUNT.
AND WHEN SETTLERS PUSHED INTO
THIS AREA THEY KILLED THE ELK
OUT AND THE BISON OUT.
>> WE HAD AN ABUNDANCE OF GAME
AND THAT WAS THE DRAW TO
KENTUCKY.
AND HER FAMILY WOULD HAVE SEEN
THESE EASTERN ELK WHICH ARE
(25:44):
EXTINCT TODAY SHE WOULD HAVE
SEEN THEM ALL OVER THE HILLS OF
EASTERN KENTUCKY.
>> THE ELK ARE CLEARLY A DRAW
FOR PEOPLE TO COME SEE.
HOW DID THAT GET RESTORED AND
HOW DID IT START.
>> THE RESTORATION WHAT A GREAT
STORY BEHIND THE BALD EAGLE IT
IS MODERN-DAY RESTORATION STORY
(26:06):
OF ALL TIME.
>> SO IT STARTED WITH SEVEN
WHERE ARE WE TODAY.
>> TODAY WE ARE AT 10600.
>> THAT IS REMARKABLE.
>> IT IS A PHENOMENAL STORY THAT
HAS A LOT OF SIDE STORIES TO IT
AND IF YOU HAVE NOT BEEN HERE TO
(26:28):
SEE THEM YOU ARE MISSING OUT.
>> A BEAUTIFUL WAY TO HONOR HER.
YOU CAN SEE THE REST OF THE
JENNY WILEY STATE RESORT PARK
STORY AND MANY OTHER GREAT
STORIES ABOUT OUR GREAT STATE
ON-LINE AND ON DEMAND AT
KET.ORG/KENTUCKY LIFE.
>>> IT IS A GREAT TIME OF YEAR
FOR ENJOYING THE OUTDOORS AND
NOW THERE IS A WAY TO INCLUDE
(26:50):
EVERYONE.
>> THIS CHAIR JUST OPENS UP THIS
PARK TO SO MANY MORE PEOPLE AND
THEY ARE ABLE TO GO OUT AND
ESCAPE INTO NATURE.
THE ACTION
TRACKCHAIR AT RAVEN RUN IS THE
FIRST IN KENTUCKY AND WE'LL TELL
YOU ALL ABOUT IT TOMORROW ON
