GOOD EVENING AND
WELCOME TO "KENTUCKY EDITION"
FOR FRIDAY JUNE 20TH THE
OFFICIAL START OF SUMMER I'M
(01:18):
COUNTRIES YIS IN OUR LOUISVILLE
STUDIO FILLING IN FOR RENEE SHAW
THANK YOU FOR JOINING US.
MILITARY FAMILIES AT FORT KNOX
ARE GETTING A NEW CHILD
DEVELOPMENT CENTER.
IT BEGAN WITH A CONVERSATION
BACK IN 2016 AND SINCE THEN, AN
ELEMENTARY SCHOOL WAS DEMOLISHED
TO MAKE ROOM FOR THE NEW
(01:38):
CONSTRUCTION.
WE GO TO LAURA ROGERS AT FOR FOT
KNOX FOR THE GROUNDBREAKING.
>> IT WAS BUILT IN THE NOON
1980s AND OFFICIALS ARE
EXCITED TO HAVE I ANEW FACILITY
TO OFFER MILITARY FAMILIES IT
WILL SERVE 300 CHILDREN FROM
BIRTH THROUGH SIX YEARS OLD.
AND ASIDE FROM EARLY CHILDHOOD
LEARN TO GO WILL OFFER INDOOR
(02:00):
RECREATION.
>> IT'S ABSOLUTELY PHENOMENAL
FOR THE COMMUNITY.
OUR CHILD DEVELOPMENT CENTER
PROVIDES SERVICES TO ALLOW OUR
SOLDIERS ON THE INSTALLATION TO
DO THEIR JOB FOR THE ARMY BY
PROVIDING THAT WORLD CLASS
CHILDCARE.
SO BEING ABLE TO BRING THIS NEW
FACILITY IT'S GOING TO BE
MODERN, WE'RE GOING TO HAVE OPEN
PLAY SPACES, WE WILL HAVE A
(02:22):
GIANT ACTIVITY ROOM HAD THAT
WILL ALLOW ACTIVITY IN THE
SUNSHINE AND WHEN THE WEATHER IS
NOT GREAT WE WILL PROVIDE
INSTRUCTION.
THIS $33 MILLION INVESTMENT IS
HUGE TO OUR INSTALLATION.
>> IT'S THE FOUNDATION.
IT IS THE FOUNDATION OF OUR
SOCIETY.
THAT FOUNDATION BUILDS AND
(02:42):
BUILDS CHARACTER IN OUR CHILDREN
FOR SOCIAL, EMOTIONAL LIFE
SKILLS AND EQUIP THEM TO BE
PREPARED FOR GRADE SCHOOL.
>> TODAY IS A SIGNIFICANT
MILESTONE FOR OUR ARMY FAMILIES.
THIS C.D.C. IS NOT JUST A
BUILDING AS AN INVESTMENT IN THE
FUTURE A FOUNDATION UPON
COUNTLESS LEADERS WILL DEGREE
(03:05):
AND THRIVE.
OUR FAMILIES SHOW THEIR
DEDICATION TO OUR NATION AND THE
CHILDREN DESERVE THE VERY BEST.
>> OUR NATION RELIES ON YOU AND
THIS INSTALLATION AND SENATOR
McCONNELL IS PROUD TO CHAMPION
FORT KNOX IN WASHINGTON D.C.
>> SENATOR MITCH McCONNELL
HELPED SECURE $30 MILLION IN
(03:25):
FEDERAL FUNDING TO THE NEW
C.D.C.
HE WAS SCHEDULED TO SPEAK TODAY
AT THE GROUND BREAK BUT HIS
OFFICE WAS DELAYED.
AND IT WAS SCHEDULED TO BE A
2027 PROJECT BUT THE TIMELINE
MOVED UP A COUPLE OF YEARS.
FOR "KENTUCKY EDITION" I'M LAURA
ROGERS.
THANK YOU, LAURA.
THE NEW CENTER IS SCHEDULED TO
(03:47):
BE COMPETE IN ABOUT THREE YEARS.
>>> A NEW INDUSTRY IS STAKING
OUT LAND AND ENERGY IN KENTUCKY.
THAT INDUSTRY...
DATA CENTERS.
WE ARE TALKING BUILDINGS WITH
BIG COMPUTERS THAT RUN A LOT OF
OUR TECH.
KENTUCKY'S ENERGY PROVIDERS WANT
TO MEET THAT NEW DEMAND.
>> WE RECOGNIZE SOME OF THESE
(04:07):
PROJECTS WILL NOT MAKE IT TO THE
FINISH LINE.
BUT WE HAVE REASON TO BELIEVE
THAT OUR ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT
TEAM AND CONTACT WITH THE
DEVELOPERS WE DO THINK UNDER
2,000 MEGAWATTS WILL MAKE IT TO
THE FINISH LINE AND THAT IS WHAT
WE ARE PREPARING TO SERVE.
>> IS THE SUPPLY GOING TO BE
ABLE TO KEEP UP WITH THAT?
(04:29):
IF NOT HOW DO WE COMPENSATE OR
WHAT IS IT THAT WE DO?
>> THAT IS A GREAT QUESTION AND
WE WILL ONLY CONNECT LOAD THAT
WE HAVE THE ABILITY TO ADD
SUPPLY FOR.
WHEN THAT LOAD IS CONNECTED.
THE FACT IS, DATA CENTERS CAN BE
BUILT AND GO COMMERCIAL IN A
(04:49):
MUCH SHORTER TIME PERIOD THAN
WEIGH CAN ADD GENERATION.
WE RECOGNIZE THAT.
AND WE WILL THROTTLE THAT
ACCORDINGLY SO WE REMAIN IN SYNC
WITH THE AVAILABLE GENERATING
SUPPLY.
COMMUNITIES AND
CITY OFFICIALS DO HAVE A SAY IN
WHAT GETS BUILT AND WHERE.
(05:11):
OLDHAM COUNTY RESIDENTS
SUCCESSFULLY PROTESTED AGAINST A
DATA CENTER IN THEIR COMMUNITY,
THOUGH THE COMPANY IS EYEING
OTHER SITES IN THE COUNTY.
WHILE DATA CENTERS BRING
ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT OPPONENTS
SAY THEY DON'T ADD THAT MANY
JOBS FOR THE AMOUNT OF POTENTIAL
AIR AND NOISE POLLUTION THEY
EMIT.
>>> A RETIRED KENTUCKY SUPREME
(05:31):
COURT JUSTICE WAS HONORED TODAY.
THE STATE NOW HAS A PORTRAIT OF
FORMER JUSTICE LISA HUGHES WHO
SERVED 15 YEARS ON THE STATE'S
HIGHEST COURT.
>> THE DAYS ARE LONG WHEN YOU
SERVE ON THE SUPREME COURT.
IT'S HARD WORK.
IT IS A TRUE CHALLENGE.
IT'S REWARDING, BUT IT'S HARD.
(05:52):
AND THOSE DAYS ARE LONG DAYS.
BUT WHEN YOU LOOK BACK THE YEARS
ARE SO SHORT THEY JUST FLEW BY.
GOVERNOR ERNIE
FLETCHER APPOINTED HUGHES TO THE
COURT IN 2007.
SHE RETIRED IN 2023.
SHE WAS A JUDGE FOR JEFFERSON
CIRCUIT COURT AND THE STATE
COURT OF APPEALS.
SHE GREW UP IN PRINCETON,
(06:13):
KENTUCKY.
THIS WAS THE LAST CHANCE FOR
PEOPLE TO GATHER IN THE
COURTROOM.
ALL COURT BUSINESS IS MOVING OUT
OF THE CAPITOL AS THE BUILDING
UNDERGOES LONG-TERM RENOVATIONS.
>>> WELL, DOES KENTUCKY HAVE TOO
MANY COUNTIES?
A FORMER STATE LAWMAKER SAYS
YES.
ADAM KOENIG JUST WROTE AN PIB
(06:34):
PIECE FOR THE LEXINGTON
HERALD-LEADER HE SERVED AS.
AND ARGUES THAT KENTUCKY
SHOULDN'T HAVE 120 COUNTIES HE
SAYS EVERY COUNTY HAS ITS OWN
GOVERNMENT.
HE ALSO SAYS ROAD FUNDING IS
DIVIDED EVENLY AMONG THE
COUNTIES.
SO A SMALL COUNTY GETS AS MUCH
AS A BIG COUNTY.
(06:56):
HE SAYS THE STATE SHOULD
STREAMLINE THE PROCESS MAKING IT
EASIER FOR COUNTIES TO MERGE IF
THEY WANT TO.
>>> LOUISVILLE WILL HOST ANOTHER
MAJOR GOLF TOURNAMENT NEXT
MONTH.
THE CHAMPIONSHIP IS MOVING FROM
NICHOLASVILLE TO HURSTBOURNE
COUNTRY CLUB IN LOUISVILLE.
THE PGA TOUR TOUR.
(07:16):
BEGINS JULY 10TH AND KELSEY
STARKS SAT DOWN WITH THE C.E.O.
AND LOUISVILLE'S MAYOR TO TALK
ABOUT THE BIG BUSINESS OF GOLF
IN LOUISVILLE IN THIS WEEK'S
BUSINESS BEAT.
[♪♪]
>> GOLF IS BECOMING BIG BUSINESS
IN LOUISVILLE.
THANK YOU ALL BOTH FOR BEING
HERE.
WE APPRECIATE IT.
AND MAYOR GREENBERG I WANT TO
(07:37):
START WOULD YOU THIS IS A SECOND
YEAR THAT LOUISVILLE HOSTED A
LARGE SCALE GOLF TOURNAMENT AND,
OF COURSE, THE PGA CHAMPIONSHIP
AT VALHALLA AND NOW THE ISCO
CHAMPIONSHIP WHICH WILL BE AN
ANNUAL EVENT.
WHAT IS THE IMPACT OF SOMETHING
LIKE THIS FOR THE CITY OF
LOUISVILLE?
>> IT'S HUGE FOR LOUISVILLE.
(08:01):
WE'VE GOT GREAT PRACTICE EVERY
YEAR HOSTING THE WORLD FOR THE
KENTUCKY DERBY.
HOSTING BIG SPORTING EVENTS TO
LOUISVILLE IS IN OUR DNA AND WE
LOVE TO DO IT.
IT IS A POSITIVE IMPACT IN OUR
COMMUNITY REAR ROUND --
YEAR-ROUND, IT CREATES JOBS,
RESTAURANTS AND LOCAL BUSINESSES
AND GIVES OUR CITY A UNIQUE
(08:24):
IDENTITY.
THE WORLD KNOWS US FOR WORLD
CLASS HORSERACING AND WORLD
CLASS GOLF AS WELL.
WE HAD THE RYDER CUP AND THE PGA
CHAMPIONSHIP AND NOW THE ANNUAL
ISCO AND GOLF FANS FROM
LOUISVILLE AND THE REGION CAN
ENJOY WORLD CLASS GOLF HERE IN
(08:44):
LOUISVILLE EVERY YEAR.
AND I'M EXCITED ABOUT IT.
>> AND YOU ARE EXCITED, JIMMY IS
THE CHAIRMAN AND C.E.O. OF ISCO
INDUSTRIES.
AND THIS, OF COURSE, YOU GOT THE
NAMING RIGHTS TO THIS TOURNAMENT
WHICH WAS THE BASH SOL
TOURNAMENT AND IT WAS HELD IN
NICHOLASVILLE AND WHY WAS IT SO
(09:04):
IMPORTANT FOR YOU TO BRING THIS
TO LOUISVILLE?
>> WE WANTED TO KEEP IT IN
KENTUCKY.
IT'S BEEN THERE AND IS A NEW
EVENT, KIND OF BRANDING IT AS
THE ISCO CHAMPIONSHIP.
GOLF IS IN OUR RATS AS A COMPANY
AND A GOLF IRRIGATION COMPANY
AND HAVE GROWN FOR A PIPING
(09:26):
COMPANY FOR DIFFERENT
APPLICATIONS AND MARKETS.
GOLF IS IMPORTANT TO US.
BUT I KNOW HOW MUCH THIS
COMMUNITY LOVES PROFESSIONAL
GOLF BEING INVOLVED IN THE PGA
CHAMPIONSHIP LAST YEAR, IT WAS
VERY PRIDEFUL MOMENT FOR MYSELF
TO SEE THE COMMUNITY COME OUT
AND SUPPORT IT IN RECORD
FASHION.
A LOT OF COMMUNITIES HAVE HAD
PGA CHAMPIONSHIPS AND WE BROKE
(09:46):
RECORDS WITH THE SUPPORT FROM
THE COMMUNITY.
WE NEED TO CONTINUE THAT AND
BRING PROFESSIONAL GOLF BACK ON
AN ANNUAL BASIS.
>> A LOT OF PEOPLE MAY NOT
REALIZE BUT YOU WERE ONE OF FOUR
PARTNERS WHO PURCHASED VALHALLA
AND A CHAIRPERSON OF THE 2024PGA
CHAMPIONSHIP HOW HAS THIS
TOURNAMENT IT'S DIFFERENT FROM
(10:06):
THE PGA CHAMPIONSHIP?
>> THE PGA CHAMPIONSHIP IS
MAJOR.
THIS WILL BE A LOT MORE YOU HAVE
A LOT MORE ACCESSIBILITY TO SEE
THE PLAYERS UP CLOSE AND SEE
GREAT GOLF.
>> SPEAKING OF THE PLAYERS, YOU
ALL HAVE ALREADY HAD QUITE A FEW
SIGN ON FOR THIS THE 2013PGA
CHAMPIONSHIP WINNER, JASON
(10:28):
DUFNER AND JB HOLMES WHO WERE
OTHERS?
>> WE HAVE MATTIE SMITH A YOUNG
PROFESSIONAL AND WENT TO THE
UNIVERSITY OF LOUISVILLE AND
ALMOST WON ON TOUR.
JOEL DAMON PEOPLE KNOW HIM FROM
THE NETFLIX EPISODE.
HARRY HIGGS ON HUR.
WE WILL HAVE LOCAL YOUNG PLAYERS
(10:48):
TRYING TO MAKE IT.
STEVEN STALLINGS A KENTUCKY
GRADUATE AND BRENDON DOYLE WHO
GREW UP AT LONG RUN GOLF COURSE.
HIS GRANDFATHER'S DEMOING THERE
AND WE ARE EXCITED FOR HIM AS
WELL.
>> A LOT GOING ON.
AND MAYOR, YOU'VE SAID THIS IS A
(11:08):
PRIORITY OF YOUR ADMINISTRATION
TO BRING BIG SPORTING EVENTS.
WHAT --
HOW DOES LOUISVILLE COMPARE TO
SOME OF THE OTHER CITIES OF ITS
SIZE OR LARGER SMALLER THAT ARE
ALSO COMPETING FOR EVENTS LIKE
THIS?
AND WHAT IS LOUISVILLE STILL
NEED TO DO IN ORDER TO GET MORE
OF THESE TYPES OF EVENTS?
(11:29):
>> WELL, OF COURSE, KELSEY WE
ARE THE BEST CITY HOSTING THESE
EVENTS WE KNOW IT AND SEE IT
EVERY YEAR.
EVERYONE WHO LEAVES HAVING
VISITED FOR THE DERBY SAYS THAT
IS THE BEST WEEKEND OF MY
LIFETIME.
AND THAT WHAT WE WANT FOR A GOLF
EVENT OR ANY OTHER EVENT.
WE ARE GOING TO CONTINUE TO
BUILD ON THAT.
IT'S LIKE ANNUAL EVENTS ARE
(11:50):
BECOMING THE NORM WITH BOURBON
AND BEYOND.
AND HOSTING LARGE FESTIVALS ARE
SIMILAR TO HOSTING WORLD CLASS
SPORTING EVENTS LIKE THE ISCO
CHAMPIONSHIP.
JIMMY AND I ARE WORKING CLOSELY
AND THRILLED WE ARE BRINGING IN
2028, THE WOMEN'S VERSION OF THE
(12:10):
RYDER CUP THE PREMIER EVENT IT
WILL BE PLAYED HERE IN
LOUISVILLE.
AND LOOKING TO DO THIS IN OTHER
SPORTS.
WHAT WE NEED EVEN MORE ROAD --
LIKE VALHALLA IS AS GOOD OF A
GOLF COURSE IT CAN BE.
WE NEED GREAT VENUES FOR SPORTS
AS WELL.
WE ARE WORKING ON POSSIBLY
(12:30):
BRINGING A WOMEN'S VOLLEYBALL
PROFESSIONAL TEAM TO LOUISVILLE.
A NEW LEAGUE THAT JUST STARTED
IT WOULD BE A GREAT CITY FOR AT
THAT TIME.
AND LOOKING AT OTHER SPORTS AS
WELL.
WE HAVE THE HOTELS AND THE
RESTAURANTS AND HOSPITALITY WE
NEED A COUPLE MORE VENUES FOR
THE OTHER SPORTS OUT THERE AS
WELCH.
>> I IMAGINE IT IS A SNOWBALL
(12:52):
EFFECT THE MORE YOU HOST THE
MORE WILL COME?
>> THAT'S RIGHT.
WE HAVE OTHER SPORTS WE HAVE
WORLD CLASS CYCLING EVENTS HERE.
WE DID HOST THE FIRST-EVER
PROFESSIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP FOR
THE NEW LOVE LEAGUE WOMEN'S
VOLLEYBALL AS DIFFERENT SPORTS
EVENTS WORD GETS OUT QUICKLY AND
PEOPLE WANT TO BE IN LOUISVILLE.
(13:13):
WE HAVE A LOT OF INTEREST IN THE
CITY.
I'M EXCITED ABOUT THE FUTURE TO
BUILD UPON THE CHAMPIONSHIP HERE
IN JULY.
>> AND ONE THING YOU SAID THIS
IS ABOUT MORE THAN GOLF.
THERE IS A CHARITY ASPECT AND
LOCAL IMPACTS TALK A LITTLE BIT
ABOUT THAT.
>> LIKE THE MAYOR SAID HE
BROUGHT IN AS A GUEST TO HIS THE
LPGA EXER TO DERBY AND LANDED
(13:36):
THE SOL HYME CUP THE WOMEN'S
RYDER CUP AND BROUGHT THE
COMMISSIONER OF THE PGA TOUR.
THESE PEOPLE LIKE TO PARTY AND
THEY LIKE TO HAVE FUN THIS IS
GOING TO HAVE A DERBY THEME
BECAUSE HOW PEOPLE LIKE TO COME
OUT ON THE SOCIAL SIDE.
THE THING I LOVE ABOUT THE PGA
TOUR THERE IS A CHARITY
(13:58):
COMPONENT.
THEY LEAVE A FOOTPRINT IN THE
CITY.
AND THE WENDY DIABETES INSTITUTE
WE ARE FORTUNATE TO HAVE THAT IN
OUR TOWN IN THE INVESTMENT THAT
THE NOVAK FAMILY HAS MADE IN
THAT FACILITY TO HELP YOUNG
PEOPLE AND ADULTS LIVE THEIR
BEST LIFE THAT ASTRICT EN WITH
THE DISEASE.
AND THE FIRST TEAM OF LOUISVILLE
(14:19):
I'M PASSIONATE ON THE BOARD THEY
WILL BE A BENEFICIARY AS WELL.
>> THE PGA CHAMPIONSHIP WHEN
THEY WERE HERE THEY MADE A
SIGNIFICANT INVESTMENT IN THE
FIRST T ORGANIZATION IN
FACILITIES AT SENECA GOLF COURSE
ONE OF OUR PUBLIC GOLF COURSES
AND THAT IS CONTINUING WITH THIS
EVENT.
IT'S KEEPING THE CHARTABLE
(14:40):
CONTRIBUTIONS THAT JIMMY AND HIS
COMPANY AND THESE PGA TOUR
EVENTS MAKE LEAVES A LASTING
LEGSY SO MORE KIDS CAN GET
INVOLVED AND ENJOY THE SPORT.
>> THANK YOU SO MUCH WE
APPRECIATE YOUR TIME IN BEING
HERE.
THE ISCO CHAMPIONSHIP BEGINS ON
THURSDAY JULY THE 10TH AND
TICKETS ARE AVAILABLE RIGHT NOW.
BACK TO YOU.
(15:02):
[♪♪]
THANK YOU.
TWO YEARS AGO, THE GEORGETOWN
SCOTT COUNTY EMS TEAM STARTED A
CRITICAL INCIDENT TEAM TO
PROVIDE MENTAL HEALTH RESOURCES
TO ITS PARAMEDICS.
NOW, THE PROGRAM SERVES MULTIPLE
AGENCIES WITHIN SCOTT COUNTY
INCLUDING THE FIRE DEPARTMENT
AND THE CORONER'S OFFICE.
(15:24):
FIRST-RESPONDERS SAY THEY HAVE
EXPERIENCED A STIGMA AROUND
MENTAL HEALTH IN THEIR FIELD.
BUT, THE CRITICAL INCIDENT TEAM
IS HELPING TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE.
THAT'S TONIGHT'S MEDICAL NEWS.
>> ON MAY 22, 2023, WE SCOTT
COUNTY LOST DEPUTY GAIL COMMONLY
IN A VIOLENT LINE OF DUTY DEATH
(15:46):
AND THAT KIND OF BROUGHT
ATTENTION TO MENTAL HEALTH AND
MENTAL WELL-BEING FOR
FIRST-RESPONDERS ESPECIALLY FOR
THOSE WHO WORKED THE INCIDENT.
THERE WAS AREALLY A HUGE LIST OF
RESOURCES FOR FIRST-RESPONDERS
WHEN IT COMES TO MENTAL HEALTH
AND DEALING WITH HARD CALLS AND
DAY-TO-DAY LIFE.
AND RECENTLY, WE SAW A GREATER
NEED FOR ALL THE
(16:06):
FIRST-RESPONDERS IN THE COUNTY
NOT JUST EMS.
WE ARE MADE OF EMS, POLICE,
FIRE, SHERIFF'S OFFICE, CORONER
AND LOCAL HOSPITAL.
>> WE WANT TO BE A PART OF IT
BECAUSE WE ALL ARE BROTHERS AND
SISTERS HERE IN EMERGENCY
SERVICES WHETHER YOU'VE DONE
THIS FOR FIVE MINUTES OR 15
YEARS, YOU HAVE EXPERIENCED
(16:28):
THINGS IN YOUR CAREER THAT ARE
TRAUMATIC AND YOU EITHER HOLD ON
TO IT ARE OR YOU HAVE TO HAVE A
OUT.
AND YOU HAVE TO HAVE A WAY TO
DEAL WITH THOSE EMOTIONS.
AND SO, BEING A PART OF THIS
TEAM ALLOWS US TO HELP EACH
OTHER TAKE CARE OF EACH OTHER
AND MAKE SURE WE DON'T HAVE
BURN-OUT AND REDUCE THE AMOUNT
(16:48):
OF BURN-OUT AND MAKE SURE WE'RE
ALL PROVIDING THE BEST SERVICE
WE CAN.
>> THE HUMAN BRAIN IS ONLY WIRED
AND MEANT TO WITNESS AND SURVIVE
ONE TO THREE TRAUMATIC EVENTS IN
THEIR LIFETIME.
AND FIRST-RESPONDERS WE CAN SEE
DOUBLE OR TRIPLE THAT IN A SHIFT
DEPENDING HOW THE DAY GOES.
AND THERE'S BEEN A SIGMA THAT WE
(17:11):
ARE THE TOUGH ONES IF YOU HAD A
HARD CALL GET OVER IT AND MOVE
ON TO THE NEXT ONE.
BUT THAT'S LED TO A LOT OF POST
TRAUMATIC STRESS DISORDER,
DEPRESSION, ANXIETY AND WE'VE
LOST SEVERAL FIRST-RESPONDERS
NOT NECESSARILY HERE IN SCOTT
COUNTY BUT THE STATE OF KENTUCKY
TO DEATH BY SUICIDE.
BECAUSE OF WHAT WE SEE AND NOT
(17:33):
BEING ABLE TO DEAL WITH IT.
>> WE CAN PROVIDE INCIDENT
DEBRIEF.
LIKE HARD CALLS, FIRES,
PEDIATRICS ARE HARD ON
FIRST-RESPONDERS.
THERE WAS A TOUGH PEDIATRIC
CALL.
WE CAN DO INCIDENT DEBRIEFS AND
PROVIDE PEER SUPPORT IF SOMEBODY
HEY I'M HAVING A HARD TIME I
(17:55):
WANT TO SPEAK ALL OF OUR MEMBERS
ARE TRAINED OR GETTING TRAINED
IN PEER SUPPORT AS WELL.
>> IT'S BEEN PUSHED TO ME THAT
WHEN I WAS VERY YOUNG HEY WE'RE
TOUGH, WE'RE STRONG WE CAN DO
THIS.
YOU HOLD IT DOWN YOU DON'T DEAL
WITH IT OUT IN THE OPEN.
THAT'S JUST NOT TRUE.
>> I THINK PEOPLE ARE STARTING
TO REALIZE THAT WE'RE
(18:16):
FIRST-RESPONDERS ARE ALSO HUMAN.
AND I THINK FIRST-RESPONDERS ARE
STARTING TO REALIZE HEY WE ARE
STILL HUMAN AT THE END OF THE
DAY.
WE ALSO HAVE TO TAKE CARE OF
OURSELVES AND IT'S HARD TO TAKE
CARE OF OTHER PEOPLE IF WE'RE
NOT TAKING CARE OF OURSELVES.
TRUE.
THE INCIDENT TEAM HAD ITS FIRST
MEETING EARLIER THIS MONTH.
(18:36):
>>> ABOUT 1.3 MILLION AMERICAN
WOMEN TRANSITION INTO MENOPAUSE
EACH YEAR ACCORDING TO THE
SOCIETY FOR WOMEN'S HEALTH
RESEARCH.
ONCE A TOPIC MORE RESOURCES ARE
AVAILABLE TO HELP WOMEN NAVIGATE
MENOPAUSE.
>> AS WE GET WISER OUR BODY
COMPOSITION CHANGES.
WE'RE HEARING A LOT MORE ABOUT
(18:57):
MENOPAUSE AT THE MOMENT.
AND WITH MENOPAUSE WHAT WE'RE
FINDING IS THAT THE BODY
COMPOSITION CHANGES THAT MIGHT
MEAN YOUR BLOOD PRESSURE GOES
UP, YOUR BLOOD SUGAR STARTS TO
LOOK DIFFERENT YOUR CLOSE TROLL
MAY LOOK DIFFERENT AND THE
JOINTS FEEL DIFFERENT TOO.
MAKING SURE WE'RE TAKING CARE OF
(19:17):
OUR PHYSICAL HEALTH WILL BE
BETTER FOR YOUR 0 WELL-BEING.
I'M GRATEFUL THAT THE WOMEN'S
HEALTH COMMUNITY IS BETTER
RECOGNIZING.
IF YOU GO BACK AND TALK TO OUR
MOTHERS IN THEIR 60s AND
70s, AND YOU ASK THEM HEY, MOM
DO YOU REMEMBER WHAT HAPPENED
WHEN YOU WENT THROUGH MENOPAUSE?
THEY ARE GOING TO LOOK AT YOU
(19:37):
BLANKLY.
THEY DO NOT REMEMBER MUCH.
THEY MIGHT SAY I THINK I HAD A
HOT FLASH.
AND THEN MY PERIODS STOPPED BUT
THEY CAN'T GIVE YOU A BETTER
IDEA.
AND THERE ARE SO MANY RESOURCES
OUT THERE RIGHT NOW AND SOME
INFORMATIVE INDIVIDUALS
PROVIDING INFORMATION ABOUT THIS
TOPIC.
(19:58):
I FOR ONE DOCUMENTARY I'VE BEEN
SHARING WITH PATIENTS IS CALLED
M, SHEDDING THE SILENCE ON
MENOPAUSE WHICH IS FEATURED ON
THE PBS WEBSITE.
AND IT ALLOWS FOR FOUR
PHYSICIANS ACROSS THE COUNTRY TO
TALK ABOUT MENOPAUSE ALONG WITH
THEIR PATIENTS.
AND TRYING TO TALK ABOUT THOSE
WITH YOUR PROVIDER, AND NOT JUST
(20:19):
DISMISSING IT AS WELL, I GUESS
IT'S SOMETHING THAT HAPPENS AS I
GET OLDER.
HAVE THAT CONVERSATION WITH YOUR
PRIMARY CARE PROVIDER.
BECAUSE THEY CAN HELP POINT YOU
IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION.
GOOD ADVICE.
MENOPAUSE CAN LAST A AVERAGE OF
4 TO SEVEN YEARS ACCORDING TO
(20:40):
THE SOCIETY RESEARCH.
[♪♪]
YESTERDAY ON JUNETEENTH, THE
LEXINGTON FREEDOM TRAIN
COMMITTEE UNVEILED A MONUMENT
HONORING LEWIS AND HARRIET
HAYDEN ON NORTH LIMESTONE STREET
IN LEXINGTON.
DESIGNER AND WORLD RENOWNED
SCULPTOR, BASIL WATSON SPOKE AT
(21:01):
THE CEREMONY.
>> I WILL KEEP IT SIMPLE.
I AM A MAN MORE OF IMAGES THAN
WORDS.
WHAT AN OLD AFRICAN PROVERB
STATES IF YOU WANT TO GO FAST GO
ALONE.
IF YOU WANT TO GO FAR GO
TOGETHER AND THE THEME IS ABOUT
THE WORK WITH HARRIET AND LEWIS,
(21:22):
MOVING TOGETHER, NOT JUST BY
THEMSELVES BUT WITH A COMMUNITY
THEY CARRIED WITH THEM AND A
COMMUNITY TO WHICH THEY WENT AND
A COMMUNITY THAT THEY FOUGHT FOR
ALL THEIR LIVES.
AND I HOPE THAT THIS SKULL TOUR
WILL MOTIVATE PEOPLE TO
RECOGNIZE THAT THEY NEED TO GO
TOGETHER.
THEY NEED TO WORK TOGETHER.
STICK TOGETHER.
(21:42):
AND THAT'S THE ONLY WAY WE WILL
SUSTAIN AND MAINTAIN AND GO
TOWARDS FREEDOM.
>> WHILE OUR FEDERAL GOVERNMENT
TRIES TO ERASE A LOT OF OUR
HISTORY, TODAY IN KENTUCKY WE'RE
CELEBRATING IT.
WE ARE CELEBRATING --
[APPLAUSE]
[CHEERING].
>> Gov. Andy Beshear (22:07):
WE ARE
CELEBRATING IT AND COMMITTING TO
PRESERVING IMPORTANT PEOPLE LIKE
LEWIS AND HARRIET.
COMMITTED TO CELEBRATING THE
LEADERS AND EDUCATING OURSELVES
ABOUT THE ASPECTS OF OUR HISTORY
THAT HAVE BEEN FOR TOO LONG
OVERLOOKED.
>> I WANT TO SAY WITH HISTORY,
AS YOU ALL KNOW IT'S I SAY UNDER
(22:27):
ASSAULT.
PEOPLE WANT TO COVER UP WHAT
HAPPENED.
BUT IT IS PART OF WHO WE ARE,
IT'S WHO WE WERE.
AND PART OF WHO WE ARE NOW IS
WHO WILL WE BECOME AND HISTORY'S
ALWAYS IMPORTANT TO KNOW WHERE
WE CAME FROM SO WE CAN KNOW
WHERE WE'RE GOING.
AND THE NAME IS TOWARD FREEDOM.
BECAUSE IT'S NOT A STATIC PHRASE
(22:48):
IT SPEAKS OF MOVEMENT OF
PROGRESS OF WORK TO BE DONE.
SAYING THAT THEY WILL BE PROUD
AND REMIND US THAT THE WORK OF
FREEDOM IS NEVER FINISHED.
TOWARD FREEDOM IS NOT JUST THE
NAME OF THE STATUE IT IS A
DIRECTION A CALLING WHEN FUTURE
GENERATIONS STAND HERE AND LOOK
UPON THIS STATUE MAY THEY NOT
ONLY REMEMBER, BUT BE MOVED TO
(23:09):
ACT, TO LEAD TO CARRY US FURTHER
TOWARD FREEDOM.
THANK YOU.
[APPLAUSE]
>> IF YOU KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT
THE HAYDEN'S STORY IT IS VERY
PROLIFIC.
AND YOU HAVE TO BE ABLE TO TELL
THAT STORY WITHIN ONE SCULPTOR
PIECE --
(23:29):
SKULL TOUR PIECE.
AND THAT IS NOT EASY.
IN THIS PARTICULAR PIECE THERE
IS A SALUTE AND THE DIRECTION
THEY ARE SALUTING TOWARDS TALKS
ABOUT THE CONTINUING STRUGGLE
TOWARDS FREEDOM.
AND THAT THEY DID IT TOGETHER.
AND THAT IT IS A UNIFIED
STRENGTH.
AND IF YOU LOOK AT THEIR FACES,
(23:50):
THEY ARE LOOKING TO THE SKY.
YOU SEE.
SO THEY LET YOU KNOW THERE WAS A
LOT OF FAITH THERE, A LOT OF
BELIEF IN GOD IN THAT CARRIAGE
IN THAT STRUGGLE.
SO WHEN HE CAPTURED THAT I WAS
LIKE, THAT'S PRETTY AWESOME.
>> WE CANNOT TURN AWAY FROM EVEN
(24:10):
THE MOST PAINFUL MOMENTS AND
PRETEND THEY DON'T EXIST.
INSTEAD, WE MUST LEARN FROM THEM
AND MAKE PROGRESS FOR THAT
BETTER TOMORROW.
AND THAT'S WHAT WE'RE DOING
RIGHT HERE TODAY IN LEXINGTON,
KENTUCKY.
[APPLAUSE]
>> Christie (24:26):
THE MONUMENT WILL
ACT AS THE CENTERPIECE FOR A NEW
PARK ON NORTH LIMESTONE STREET
IT WILL FEATURE A TIMELINE

(01:18):
COUNTRIES YIS IN OUR LOUISVILLE
STUDIO FILLING IN FOR RENEE SHAW
THANK YOU FOR JOINING US.
MILITARY FAMILIES AT FORT KNOX
ARE GETTING A NEW CHILD
DEVELOPMENT CENTER.
IT BEGAN WITH A CONVERSATION
BACK IN 2016 AND SINCE THEN, AN
ELEMENTARY SCHOOL WAS DEMOLISHED
TO MAKE ROOM FOR THE NEW
(01:38):
CONSTRUCTION.
WE GO TO LAURA ROGERS AT FOR FOT
KNOX FOR THE GROUNDBREAKING.
>> IT WAS BUILT IN THE NOON
1980s AND OFFICIALS ARE
EXCITED TO HAVE I ANEW FACILITY
TO OFFER MILITARY FAMILIES IT
WILL SERVE 300 CHILDREN FROM
BIRTH THROUGH SIX YEARS OLD.
AND ASIDE FROM EARLY CHILDHOOD
LEARN TO GO WILL OFFER INDOOR
(02:00):
RECREATION.
>> IT'S ABSOLUTELY PHENOMENAL
FOR THE COMMUNITY.
OUR CHILD DEVELOPMENT CENTER
PROVIDES SERVICES TO ALLOW OUR
SOLDIERS ON THE INSTALLATION TO
DO THEIR JOB FOR THE ARMY BY
PROVIDING THAT WORLD CLASS
CHILDCARE.
SO BEING ABLE TO BRING THIS NEW
FACILITY IT'S GOING TO BE
MODERN, WE'RE GOING TO HAVE OPEN
PLAY SPACES, WE WILL HAVE A
(02:22):
GIANT ACTIVITY ROOM HAD THAT
WILL ALLOW ACTIVITY IN THE
SUNSHINE AND WHEN THE WEATHER IS
NOT GREAT WE WILL PROVIDE
INSTRUCTION.
THIS $33 MILLION INVESTMENT IS
HUGE TO OUR INSTALLATION.
>> IT'S THE FOUNDATION.
IT IS THE FOUNDATION OF OUR
SOCIETY.
THAT FOUNDATION BUILDS AND
(02:42):
BUILDS CHARACTER IN OUR CHILDREN
FOR SOCIAL, EMOTIONAL LIFE
SKILLS AND EQUIP THEM TO BE
PREPARED FOR GRADE SCHOOL.
>> TODAY IS A SIGNIFICANT
MILESTONE FOR OUR ARMY FAMILIES.
THIS C.D.C. IS NOT JUST A
BUILDING AS AN INVESTMENT IN THE
FUTURE A FOUNDATION UPON
COUNTLESS LEADERS WILL DEGREE
(03:05):
AND THRIVE.
OUR FAMILIES SHOW THEIR
DEDICATION TO OUR NATION AND THE
CHILDREN DESERVE THE VERY BEST.
>> OUR NATION RELIES ON YOU AND
THIS INSTALLATION AND SENATOR
McCONNELL IS PROUD TO CHAMPION
FORT KNOX IN WASHINGTON D.C.
>> SENATOR MITCH McCONNELL
HELPED SECURE $30 MILLION IN
(03:25):
FEDERAL FUNDING TO THE NEW
C.D.C.
HE WAS SCHEDULED TO SPEAK TODAY
AT THE GROUND BREAK BUT HIS
OFFICE WAS DELAYED.
AND IT WAS SCHEDULED TO BE A
2027 PROJECT BUT THE TIMELINE
MOVED UP A COUPLE OF YEARS.
FOR "KENTUCKY EDITION" I'M LAURA
ROGERS.
THANK YOU, LAURA.
THE NEW CENTER IS SCHEDULED TO
(03:47):
BE COMPETE IN ABOUT THREE YEARS.
>>> A NEW INDUSTRY IS STAKING
OUT LAND AND ENERGY IN KENTUCKY.
THAT INDUSTRY...
DATA CENTERS.
WE ARE TALKING BUILDINGS WITH
BIG COMPUTERS THAT RUN A LOT OF
OUR TECH.
KENTUCKY'S ENERGY PROVIDERS WANT
TO MEET THAT NEW DEMAND.
>> WE RECOGNIZE SOME OF THESE
(04:07):
PROJECTS WILL NOT MAKE IT TO THE
FINISH LINE.
BUT WE HAVE REASON TO BELIEVE
THAT OUR ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT
TEAM AND CONTACT WITH THE
DEVELOPERS WE DO THINK UNDER
2,000 MEGAWATTS WILL MAKE IT TO
THE FINISH LINE AND THAT IS WHAT
WE ARE PREPARING TO SERVE.
>> IS THE SUPPLY GOING TO BE
ABLE TO KEEP UP WITH THAT?
(04:29):
IF NOT HOW DO WE COMPENSATE OR
WHAT IS IT THAT WE DO?
>> THAT IS A GREAT QUESTION AND
WE WILL ONLY CONNECT LOAD THAT
WE HAVE THE ABILITY TO ADD
SUPPLY FOR.
WHEN THAT LOAD IS CONNECTED.
THE FACT IS, DATA CENTERS CAN BE
BUILT AND GO COMMERCIAL IN A
(04:49):
MUCH SHORTER TIME PERIOD THAN
WEIGH CAN ADD GENERATION.
WE RECOGNIZE THAT.
AND WE WILL THROTTLE THAT
ACCORDINGLY SO WE REMAIN IN SYNC
WITH THE AVAILABLE GENERATING
SUPPLY.
COMMUNITIES AND
CITY OFFICIALS DO HAVE A SAY IN
WHAT GETS BUILT AND WHERE.
(05:11):
OLDHAM COUNTY RESIDENTS
SUCCESSFULLY PROTESTED AGAINST A
DATA CENTER IN THEIR COMMUNITY,
THOUGH THE COMPANY IS EYEING
OTHER SITES IN THE COUNTY.
WHILE DATA CENTERS BRING
ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT OPPONENTS
SAY THEY DON'T ADD THAT MANY
JOBS FOR THE AMOUNT OF POTENTIAL
AIR AND NOISE POLLUTION THEY
EMIT.
>>> A RETIRED KENTUCKY SUPREME
(05:31):
COURT JUSTICE WAS HONORED TODAY.
THE STATE NOW HAS A PORTRAIT OF
FORMER JUSTICE LISA HUGHES WHO
SERVED 15 YEARS ON THE STATE'S
HIGHEST COURT.
>> THE DAYS ARE LONG WHEN YOU
SERVE ON THE SUPREME COURT.
IT'S HARD WORK.
IT IS A TRUE CHALLENGE.
IT'S REWARDING, BUT IT'S HARD.
(05:52):
AND THOSE DAYS ARE LONG DAYS.
BUT WHEN YOU LOOK BACK THE YEARS
ARE SO SHORT THEY JUST FLEW BY.
GOVERNOR ERNIE
FLETCHER APPOINTED HUGHES TO THE
COURT IN 2007.
SHE RETIRED IN 2023.
SHE WAS A JUDGE FOR JEFFERSON
CIRCUIT COURT AND THE STATE
COURT OF APPEALS.
SHE GREW UP IN PRINCETON,
(06:13):
KENTUCKY.
THIS WAS THE LAST CHANCE FOR
PEOPLE TO GATHER IN THE
COURTROOM.
ALL COURT BUSINESS IS MOVING OUT
OF THE CAPITOL AS THE BUILDING
UNDERGOES LONG-TERM RENOVATIONS.
>>> WELL, DOES KENTUCKY HAVE TOO
MANY COUNTIES?
A FORMER STATE LAWMAKER SAYS
YES.
ADAM KOENIG JUST WROTE AN PIB
(06:34):
PIECE FOR THE LEXINGTON
HERALD-LEADER HE SERVED AS.
AND ARGUES THAT KENTUCKY
SHOULDN'T HAVE 120 COUNTIES HE
SAYS EVERY COUNTY HAS ITS OWN
GOVERNMENT.
HE ALSO SAYS ROAD FUNDING IS
DIVIDED EVENLY AMONG THE
COUNTIES.
SO A SMALL COUNTY GETS AS MUCH
AS A BIG COUNTY.
(06:56):
HE SAYS THE STATE SHOULD
STREAMLINE THE PROCESS MAKING IT
EASIER FOR COUNTIES TO MERGE IF
THEY WANT TO.
>>> LOUISVILLE WILL HOST ANOTHER
MAJOR GOLF TOURNAMENT NEXT
MONTH.
THE CHAMPIONSHIP IS MOVING FROM
NICHOLASVILLE TO HURSTBOURNE
COUNTRY CLUB IN LOUISVILLE.
THE PGA TOUR TOUR.
(07:16):
BEGINS JULY 10TH AND KELSEY
STARKS SAT DOWN WITH THE C.E.O.
AND LOUISVILLE'S MAYOR TO TALK
ABOUT THE BIG BUSINESS OF GOLF
IN LOUISVILLE IN THIS WEEK'S
BUSINESS BEAT.
[♪♪]
>> GOLF IS BECOMING BIG BUSINESS
IN LOUISVILLE.
THANK YOU ALL BOTH FOR BEING
HERE.
WE APPRECIATE IT.
AND MAYOR GREENBERG I WANT TO
(07:37):
START WOULD YOU THIS IS A SECOND
YEAR THAT LOUISVILLE HOSTED A
LARGE SCALE GOLF TOURNAMENT AND,
OF COURSE, THE PGA CHAMPIONSHIP
AT VALHALLA AND NOW THE ISCO
CHAMPIONSHIP WHICH WILL BE AN
ANNUAL EVENT.
WHAT IS THE IMPACT OF SOMETHING
LIKE THIS FOR THE CITY OF
LOUISVILLE?
>> IT'S HUGE FOR LOUISVILLE.
(08:01):
WE'VE GOT GREAT PRACTICE EVERY
YEAR HOSTING THE WORLD FOR THE
KENTUCKY DERBY.
HOSTING BIG SPORTING EVENTS TO
LOUISVILLE IS IN OUR DNA AND WE
LOVE TO DO IT.
IT IS A POSITIVE IMPACT IN OUR
COMMUNITY REAR ROUND --
YEAR-ROUND, IT CREATES JOBS,
RESTAURANTS AND LOCAL BUSINESSES
AND GIVES OUR CITY A UNIQUE
(08:24):
IDENTITY.
THE WORLD KNOWS US FOR WORLD
CLASS HORSERACING AND WORLD
CLASS GOLF AS WELL.
WE HAD THE RYDER CUP AND THE PGA
CHAMPIONSHIP AND NOW THE ANNUAL
ISCO AND GOLF FANS FROM
LOUISVILLE AND THE REGION CAN
ENJOY WORLD CLASS GOLF HERE IN
(08:44):
LOUISVILLE EVERY YEAR.
AND I'M EXCITED ABOUT IT.
>> AND YOU ARE EXCITED, JIMMY IS
THE CHAIRMAN AND C.E.O. OF ISCO
INDUSTRIES.
AND THIS, OF COURSE, YOU GOT THE
NAMING RIGHTS TO THIS TOURNAMENT
WHICH WAS THE BASH SOL
TOURNAMENT AND IT WAS HELD IN
NICHOLASVILLE AND WHY WAS IT SO
(09:04):
IMPORTANT FOR YOU TO BRING THIS
TO LOUISVILLE?
>> WE WANTED TO KEEP IT IN
KENTUCKY.
IT'S BEEN THERE AND IS A NEW
EVENT, KIND OF BRANDING IT AS
THE ISCO CHAMPIONSHIP.
GOLF IS IN OUR RATS AS A COMPANY
AND A GOLF IRRIGATION COMPANY
AND HAVE GROWN FOR A PIPING
(09:26):
COMPANY FOR DIFFERENT
APPLICATIONS AND MARKETS.
GOLF IS IMPORTANT TO US.
BUT I KNOW HOW MUCH THIS
COMMUNITY LOVES PROFESSIONAL
GOLF BEING INVOLVED IN THE PGA
CHAMPIONSHIP LAST YEAR, IT WAS
VERY PRIDEFUL MOMENT FOR MYSELF
TO SEE THE COMMUNITY COME OUT
AND SUPPORT IT IN RECORD
FASHION.
A LOT OF COMMUNITIES HAVE HAD
PGA CHAMPIONSHIPS AND WE BROKE
(09:46):
RECORDS WITH THE SUPPORT FROM
THE COMMUNITY.
WE NEED TO CONTINUE THAT AND
BRING PROFESSIONAL GOLF BACK ON
AN ANNUAL BASIS.
>> A LOT OF PEOPLE MAY NOT
REALIZE BUT YOU WERE ONE OF FOUR
PARTNERS WHO PURCHASED VALHALLA
AND A CHAIRPERSON OF THE 2024PGA
CHAMPIONSHIP HOW HAS THIS
TOURNAMENT IT'S DIFFERENT FROM
(10:06):
THE PGA CHAMPIONSHIP?
>> THE PGA CHAMPIONSHIP IS
MAJOR.
THIS WILL BE A LOT MORE YOU HAVE
A LOT MORE ACCESSIBILITY TO SEE
THE PLAYERS UP CLOSE AND SEE
GREAT GOLF.
>> SPEAKING OF THE PLAYERS, YOU
ALL HAVE ALREADY HAD QUITE A FEW
SIGN ON FOR THIS THE 2013PGA
CHAMPIONSHIP WINNER, JASON
(10:28):
DUFNER AND JB HOLMES WHO WERE
OTHERS?
>> WE HAVE MATTIE SMITH A YOUNG
PROFESSIONAL AND WENT TO THE
UNIVERSITY OF LOUISVILLE AND
ALMOST WON ON TOUR.
JOEL DAMON PEOPLE KNOW HIM FROM
THE NETFLIX EPISODE.
HARRY HIGGS ON HUR.
WE WILL HAVE LOCAL YOUNG PLAYERS
(10:48):
TRYING TO MAKE IT.
STEVEN STALLINGS A KENTUCKY
GRADUATE AND BRENDON DOYLE WHO
GREW UP AT LONG RUN GOLF COURSE.
HIS GRANDFATHER'S DEMOING THERE
AND WE ARE EXCITED FOR HIM AS
WELL.
>> A LOT GOING ON.
AND MAYOR, YOU'VE SAID THIS IS A
(11:08):
PRIORITY OF YOUR ADMINISTRATION
TO BRING BIG SPORTING EVENTS.
WHAT --
HOW DOES LOUISVILLE COMPARE TO
SOME OF THE OTHER CITIES OF ITS
SIZE OR LARGER SMALLER THAT ARE
ALSO COMPETING FOR EVENTS LIKE
THIS?
AND WHAT IS LOUISVILLE STILL
NEED TO DO IN ORDER TO GET MORE
OF THESE TYPES OF EVENTS?
(11:29):
>> WELL, OF COURSE, KELSEY WE
ARE THE BEST CITY HOSTING THESE
EVENTS WE KNOW IT AND SEE IT
EVERY YEAR.
EVERYONE WHO LEAVES HAVING
VISITED FOR THE DERBY SAYS THAT
IS THE BEST WEEKEND OF MY
LIFETIME.
AND THAT WHAT WE WANT FOR A GOLF
EVENT OR ANY OTHER EVENT.
WE ARE GOING TO CONTINUE TO
BUILD ON THAT.
IT'S LIKE ANNUAL EVENTS ARE
(11:50):
BECOMING THE NORM WITH BOURBON
AND BEYOND.
AND HOSTING LARGE FESTIVALS ARE
SIMILAR TO HOSTING WORLD CLASS
SPORTING EVENTS LIKE THE ISCO
CHAMPIONSHIP.
JIMMY AND I ARE WORKING CLOSELY
AND THRILLED WE ARE BRINGING IN
2028, THE WOMEN'S VERSION OF THE
(12:10):
RYDER CUP THE PREMIER EVENT IT
WILL BE PLAYED HERE IN
LOUISVILLE.
AND LOOKING TO DO THIS IN OTHER
SPORTS.
WHAT WE NEED EVEN MORE ROAD --
LIKE VALHALLA IS AS GOOD OF A
GOLF COURSE IT CAN BE.
WE NEED GREAT VENUES FOR SPORTS
AS WELL.
WE ARE WORKING ON POSSIBLY
(12:30):
BRINGING A WOMEN'S VOLLEYBALL
PROFESSIONAL TEAM TO LOUISVILLE.
A NEW LEAGUE THAT JUST STARTED
IT WOULD BE A GREAT CITY FOR AT
THAT TIME.
AND LOOKING AT OTHER SPORTS AS
WELL.
WE HAVE THE HOTELS AND THE
RESTAURANTS AND HOSPITALITY WE
NEED A COUPLE MORE VENUES FOR
THE OTHER SPORTS OUT THERE AS
WELCH.
>> I IMAGINE IT IS A SNOWBALL
(12:52):
EFFECT THE MORE YOU HOST THE
MORE WILL COME?
>> THAT'S RIGHT.
WE HAVE OTHER SPORTS WE HAVE
WORLD CLASS CYCLING EVENTS HERE.
WE DID HOST THE FIRST-EVER
PROFESSIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP FOR
THE NEW LOVE LEAGUE WOMEN'S
VOLLEYBALL AS DIFFERENT SPORTS
EVENTS WORD GETS OUT QUICKLY AND
PEOPLE WANT TO BE IN LOUISVILLE.
(13:13):
WE HAVE A LOT OF INTEREST IN THE
CITY.
I'M EXCITED ABOUT THE FUTURE TO
BUILD UPON THE CHAMPIONSHIP HERE
IN JULY.
>> AND ONE THING YOU SAID THIS
IS ABOUT MORE THAN GOLF.
THERE IS A CHARITY ASPECT AND
LOCAL IMPACTS TALK A LITTLE BIT
ABOUT THAT.
>> LIKE THE MAYOR SAID HE
BROUGHT IN AS A GUEST TO HIS THE
LPGA EXER TO DERBY AND LANDED
(13:36):
THE SOL HYME CUP THE WOMEN'S
RYDER CUP AND BROUGHT THE
COMMISSIONER OF THE PGA TOUR.
THESE PEOPLE LIKE TO PARTY AND
THEY LIKE TO HAVE FUN THIS IS
GOING TO HAVE A DERBY THEME
BECAUSE HOW PEOPLE LIKE TO COME
OUT ON THE SOCIAL SIDE.
THE THING I LOVE ABOUT THE PGA
TOUR THERE IS A CHARITY
(13:58):
COMPONENT.
THEY LEAVE A FOOTPRINT IN THE
CITY.
AND THE WENDY DIABETES INSTITUTE
WE ARE FORTUNATE TO HAVE THAT IN
OUR TOWN IN THE INVESTMENT THAT
THE NOVAK FAMILY HAS MADE IN
THAT FACILITY TO HELP YOUNG
PEOPLE AND ADULTS LIVE THEIR
BEST LIFE THAT ASTRICT EN WITH
THE DISEASE.
AND THE FIRST TEAM OF LOUISVILLE
(14:19):
I'M PASSIONATE ON THE BOARD THEY
WILL BE A BENEFICIARY AS WELL.
>> THE PGA CHAMPIONSHIP WHEN
THEY WERE HERE THEY MADE A
SIGNIFICANT INVESTMENT IN THE
FIRST T ORGANIZATION IN
FACILITIES AT SENECA GOLF COURSE
ONE OF OUR PUBLIC GOLF COURSES
AND THAT IS CONTINUING WITH THIS
EVENT.
IT'S KEEPING THE CHARTABLE
(14:40):
CONTRIBUTIONS THAT JIMMY AND HIS
COMPANY AND THESE PGA TOUR
EVENTS MAKE LEAVES A LASTING
LEGSY SO MORE KIDS CAN GET
INVOLVED AND ENJOY THE SPORT.
>> THANK YOU SO MUCH WE
APPRECIATE YOUR TIME IN BEING
HERE.
THE ISCO CHAMPIONSHIP BEGINS ON
THURSDAY JULY THE 10TH AND
TICKETS ARE AVAILABLE RIGHT NOW.
BACK TO YOU.
(15:02):
[♪♪]
THANK YOU.
TWO YEARS AGO, THE GEORGETOWN
SCOTT COUNTY EMS TEAM STARTED A
CRITICAL INCIDENT TEAM TO
PROVIDE MENTAL HEALTH RESOURCES
TO ITS PARAMEDICS.
NOW, THE PROGRAM SERVES MULTIPLE
AGENCIES WITHIN SCOTT COUNTY
INCLUDING THE FIRE DEPARTMENT
AND THE CORONER'S OFFICE.
(15:24):
FIRST-RESPONDERS SAY THEY HAVE
EXPERIENCED A STIGMA AROUND
MENTAL HEALTH IN THEIR FIELD.
BUT, THE CRITICAL INCIDENT TEAM
IS HELPING TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE.
THAT'S TONIGHT'S MEDICAL NEWS.
>> ON MAY 22, 2023, WE SCOTT
COUNTY LOST DEPUTY GAIL COMMONLY
IN A VIOLENT LINE OF DUTY DEATH
(15:46):
AND THAT KIND OF BROUGHT
ATTENTION TO MENTAL HEALTH AND
MENTAL WELL-BEING FOR
FIRST-RESPONDERS ESPECIALLY FOR
THOSE WHO WORKED THE INCIDENT.
THERE WAS AREALLY A HUGE LIST OF
RESOURCES FOR FIRST-RESPONDERS
WHEN IT COMES TO MENTAL HEALTH
AND DEALING WITH HARD CALLS AND
DAY-TO-DAY LIFE.
AND RECENTLY, WE SAW A GREATER
NEED FOR ALL THE
(16:06):
FIRST-RESPONDERS IN THE COUNTY
NOT JUST EMS.
WE ARE MADE OF EMS, POLICE,
FIRE, SHERIFF'S OFFICE, CORONER
AND LOCAL HOSPITAL.
>> WE WANT TO BE A PART OF IT
BECAUSE WE ALL ARE BROTHERS AND
SISTERS HERE IN EMERGENCY
SERVICES WHETHER YOU'VE DONE
THIS FOR FIVE MINUTES OR 15
YEARS, YOU HAVE EXPERIENCED
(16:28):
THINGS IN YOUR CAREER THAT ARE
TRAUMATIC AND YOU EITHER HOLD ON
TO IT ARE OR YOU HAVE TO HAVE A
OUT.
AND YOU HAVE TO HAVE A WAY TO
DEAL WITH THOSE EMOTIONS.
AND SO, BEING A PART OF THIS
TEAM ALLOWS US TO HELP EACH
OTHER TAKE CARE OF EACH OTHER
AND MAKE SURE WE DON'T HAVE
BURN-OUT AND REDUCE THE AMOUNT
(16:48):
OF BURN-OUT AND MAKE SURE WE'RE
ALL PROVIDING THE BEST SERVICE
WE CAN.
>> THE HUMAN BRAIN IS ONLY WIRED
AND MEANT TO WITNESS AND SURVIVE
ONE TO THREE TRAUMATIC EVENTS IN
THEIR LIFETIME.
AND FIRST-RESPONDERS WE CAN SEE
DOUBLE OR TRIPLE THAT IN A SHIFT
DEPENDING HOW THE DAY GOES.
AND THERE'S BEEN A SIGMA THAT WE
(17:11):
ARE THE TOUGH ONES IF YOU HAD A
HARD CALL GET OVER IT AND MOVE
ON TO THE NEXT ONE.
BUT THAT'S LED TO A LOT OF POST
TRAUMATIC STRESS DISORDER,
DEPRESSION, ANXIETY AND WE'VE
LOST SEVERAL FIRST-RESPONDERS
NOT NECESSARILY HERE IN SCOTT
COUNTY BUT THE STATE OF KENTUCKY
TO DEATH BY SUICIDE.
BECAUSE OF WHAT WE SEE AND NOT
(17:33):
BEING ABLE TO DEAL WITH IT.
>> WE CAN PROVIDE INCIDENT
DEBRIEF.
LIKE HARD CALLS, FIRES,
PEDIATRICS ARE HARD ON
FIRST-RESPONDERS.
THERE WAS A TOUGH PEDIATRIC
CALL.
WE CAN DO INCIDENT DEBRIEFS AND
PROVIDE PEER SUPPORT IF SOMEBODY
HEY I'M HAVING A HARD TIME I
(17:55):
WANT TO SPEAK ALL OF OUR MEMBERS
ARE TRAINED OR GETTING TRAINED
IN PEER SUPPORT AS WELL.
>> IT'S BEEN PUSHED TO ME THAT
WHEN I WAS VERY YOUNG HEY WE'RE
TOUGH, WE'RE STRONG WE CAN DO
THIS.
YOU HOLD IT DOWN YOU DON'T DEAL
WITH IT OUT IN THE OPEN.
THAT'S JUST NOT TRUE.
>> I THINK PEOPLE ARE STARTING
TO REALIZE THAT WE'RE
(18:16):
FIRST-RESPONDERS ARE ALSO HUMAN.
AND I THINK FIRST-RESPONDERS ARE
STARTING TO REALIZE HEY WE ARE
STILL HUMAN AT THE END OF THE
DAY.
WE ALSO HAVE TO TAKE CARE OF
OURSELVES AND IT'S HARD TO TAKE
CARE OF OTHER PEOPLE IF WE'RE
NOT TAKING CARE OF OURSELVES.
TRUE.
THE INCIDENT TEAM HAD ITS FIRST
MEETING EARLIER THIS MONTH.
(18:36):
>>> ABOUT 1.3 MILLION AMERICAN
WOMEN TRANSITION INTO MENOPAUSE
EACH YEAR ACCORDING TO THE
SOCIETY FOR WOMEN'S HEALTH
RESEARCH.
ONCE A TOPIC MORE RESOURCES ARE
AVAILABLE TO HELP WOMEN NAVIGATE
MENOPAUSE.
>> AS WE GET WISER OUR BODY
COMPOSITION CHANGES.
WE'RE HEARING A LOT MORE ABOUT
(18:57):
MENOPAUSE AT THE MOMENT.
AND WITH MENOPAUSE WHAT WE'RE
FINDING IS THAT THE BODY
COMPOSITION CHANGES THAT MIGHT
MEAN YOUR BLOOD PRESSURE GOES
UP, YOUR BLOOD SUGAR STARTS TO
LOOK DIFFERENT YOUR CLOSE TROLL
MAY LOOK DIFFERENT AND THE
JOINTS FEEL DIFFERENT TOO.
MAKING SURE WE'RE TAKING CARE OF
(19:17):
OUR PHYSICAL HEALTH WILL BE
BETTER FOR YOUR 0 WELL-BEING.
I'M GRATEFUL THAT THE WOMEN'S
HEALTH COMMUNITY IS BETTER
RECOGNIZING.
IF YOU GO BACK AND TALK TO OUR
MOTHERS IN THEIR 60s AND
70s, AND YOU ASK THEM HEY, MOM
DO YOU REMEMBER WHAT HAPPENED
WHEN YOU WENT THROUGH MENOPAUSE?
THEY ARE GOING TO LOOK AT YOU
(19:37):
BLANKLY.
THEY DO NOT REMEMBER MUCH.
THEY MIGHT SAY I THINK I HAD A
HOT FLASH.
AND THEN MY PERIODS STOPPED BUT
THEY CAN'T GIVE YOU A BETTER
IDEA.
AND THERE ARE SO MANY RESOURCES
OUT THERE RIGHT NOW AND SOME
INFORMATIVE INDIVIDUALS
PROVIDING INFORMATION ABOUT THIS
TOPIC.
(19:58):
I FOR ONE DOCUMENTARY I'VE BEEN
SHARING WITH PATIENTS IS CALLED
M, SHEDDING THE SILENCE ON
MENOPAUSE WHICH IS FEATURED ON
THE PBS WEBSITE.
AND IT ALLOWS FOR FOUR
PHYSICIANS ACROSS THE COUNTRY TO
TALK ABOUT MENOPAUSE ALONG WITH
THEIR PATIENTS.
AND TRYING TO TALK ABOUT THOSE
WITH YOUR PROVIDER, AND NOT JUST
(20:19):
DISMISSING IT AS WELL, I GUESS
IT'S SOMETHING THAT HAPPENS AS I
GET OLDER.
HAVE THAT CONVERSATION WITH YOUR
PRIMARY CARE PROVIDER.
BECAUSE THEY CAN HELP POINT YOU
IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION.
GOOD ADVICE.
MENOPAUSE CAN LAST A AVERAGE OF
4 TO SEVEN YEARS ACCORDING TO
(20:40):
THE SOCIETY RESEARCH.
[♪♪]
YESTERDAY ON JUNETEENTH, THE
LEXINGTON FREEDOM TRAIN
COMMITTEE UNVEILED A MONUMENT
HONORING LEWIS AND HARRIET
HAYDEN ON NORTH LIMESTONE STREET
IN LEXINGTON.
DESIGNER AND WORLD RENOWNED
SCULPTOR, BASIL WATSON SPOKE AT
(21:01):
THE CEREMONY.
>> I WILL KEEP IT SIMPLE.
I AM A MAN MORE OF IMAGES THAN
WORDS.
WHAT AN OLD AFRICAN PROVERB
STATES IF YOU WANT TO GO FAST GO
ALONE.
IF YOU WANT TO GO FAR GO
TOGETHER AND THE THEME IS ABOUT
THE WORK WITH HARRIET AND LEWIS,
(21:22):
MOVING TOGETHER, NOT JUST BY
THEMSELVES BUT WITH A COMMUNITY
THEY CARRIED WITH THEM AND A
COMMUNITY TO WHICH THEY WENT AND
A COMMUNITY THAT THEY FOUGHT FOR
ALL THEIR LIVES.
AND I HOPE THAT THIS SKULL TOUR
WILL MOTIVATE PEOPLE TO
RECOGNIZE THAT THEY NEED TO GO
TOGETHER.
THEY NEED TO WORK TOGETHER.
STICK TOGETHER.
(21:42):
AND THAT'S THE ONLY WAY WE WILL
SUSTAIN AND MAINTAIN AND GO
TOWARDS FREEDOM.
>> WHILE OUR FEDERAL GOVERNMENT
TRIES TO ERASE A LOT OF OUR
HISTORY, TODAY IN KENTUCKY WE'RE
CELEBRATING IT.
WE ARE CELEBRATING --
[APPLAUSE]
[CHEERING].
>> Gov. Andy Beshear (22:07):
WE ARE
CELEBRATING IT AND COMMITTING TO
PRESERVING IMPORTANT PEOPLE LIKE
LEWIS AND HARRIET.
COMMITTED TO CELEBRATING THE
LEADERS AND EDUCATING OURSELVES
ABOUT THE ASPECTS OF OUR HISTORY
THAT HAVE BEEN FOR TOO LONG
OVERLOOKED.
>> I WANT TO SAY WITH HISTORY,
AS YOU ALL KNOW IT'S I SAY UNDER
(22:27):
ASSAULT.
PEOPLE WANT TO COVER UP WHAT
HAPPENED.
BUT IT IS PART OF WHO WE ARE,
IT'S WHO WE WERE.
AND PART OF WHO WE ARE NOW IS
WHO WILL WE BECOME AND HISTORY'S
ALWAYS IMPORTANT TO KNOW WHERE
WE CAME FROM SO WE CAN KNOW
WHERE WE'RE GOING.
AND THE NAME IS TOWARD FREEDOM.
BECAUSE IT'S NOT A STATIC PHRASE
(22:48):
IT SPEAKS OF MOVEMENT OF
PROGRESS OF WORK TO BE DONE.
SAYING THAT THEY WILL BE PROUD
AND REMIND US THAT THE WORK OF
FREEDOM IS NEVER FINISHED.
TOWARD FREEDOM IS NOT JUST THE
NAME OF THE STATUE IT IS A
DIRECTION A CALLING WHEN FUTURE
GENERATIONS STAND HERE AND LOOK
UPON THIS STATUE MAY THEY NOT
ONLY REMEMBER, BUT BE MOVED TO
(23:09):
ACT, TO LEAD TO CARRY US FURTHER
TOWARD FREEDOM.
THANK YOU.
[APPLAUSE]
>> IF YOU KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT
THE HAYDEN'S STORY IT IS VERY
PROLIFIC.
AND YOU HAVE TO BE ABLE TO TELL
THAT STORY WITHIN ONE SCULPTOR
PIECE --
(23:29):
SKULL TOUR PIECE.
AND THAT IS NOT EASY.
IN THIS PARTICULAR PIECE THERE
IS A SALUTE AND THE DIRECTION
THEY ARE SALUTING TOWARDS TALKS
ABOUT THE CONTINUING STRUGGLE
TOWARDS FREEDOM.
AND THAT THEY DID IT TOGETHER.
AND THAT IT IS A UNIFIED
STRENGTH.
AND IF YOU LOOK AT THEIR FACES,
(23:50):
THEY ARE LOOKING TO THE SKY.
YOU SEE.
SO THEY LET YOU KNOW THERE WAS A
LOT OF FAITH THERE, A LOT OF
BELIEF IN GOD IN THAT CARRIAGE
IN THAT STRUGGLE.
SO WHEN HE CAPTURED THAT I WAS
LIKE, THAT'S PRETTY AWESOME.
>> WE CANNOT TURN AWAY FROM EVEN
(24:10):
THE MOST PAINFUL MOMENTS AND
PRETEND THEY DON'T EXIST.
INSTEAD, WE MUST LEARN FROM THEM
AND MAKE PROGRESS FOR THAT
BETTER TOMORROW.
AND THAT'S WHAT WE'RE DOING
RIGHT HERE TODAY IN LEXINGTON,
KENTUCKY.
[APPLAUSE]
>> Christie (24:26):
THE MONUMENT WILL
ACT AS THE CENTERPIECE FOR A NEW
PARK ON NORTH LIMESTONE STREET
IT WILL FEATURE A TIMELINE
STARTING WITH THE FOUNDING OF
LEXINGTON THROUGH THE HAYDEN'S
LIVES AND INTO THE PRESENT DAY.
