KENTUCKY.

Good evening, and
welcome to
"Kentucky Edition" for Monday,
March 31st.
I'm Renee Shaw.
Thanks for joining us.
Kentucky's 2025 General Assembly
wrapped last Friday.
More than a hundred bills were
passed and many of them have
been signed into law.
Lawmakers also passed several
bills on the final two days of
the session.
(01:48):
Democratic Governor Andy Beshear
can decide if those measures
become law without the chance of
Republican supermajorities
overriding his veto.
Our June Leffler has more on
some education legislation that
is now on the governor's desk.
>> REPORTER (02:15):
A PARENT OFFERED
ONE OF THE FINAL TESTIMONIES TO
LAWMAKERS THIS LEGISLATIVE
SESSION.
IN ORDER TO FACILITATED OUR
DAUGHTER'S ROMANTIC RELATIONSHIP
WE BELIEVED WERE UNHEALTH THINK.
THERE WERE 10 PHONE CALLS
BETWEEN OUR DAUGHTER AND THE
COUNSELOR AND ALL OCCURRED
(02:36):
WITHOUT OUR KNOWLEDGE OR
CONSENT.
>> JUNE (02:46):
SHE SPOKE IN FAVOR OF
SENATE BILL 181, WHICH RESTRICTS
ELECTRONIC COMMUNICATIONS
BETWEEN SCHOOL STAFF AND
STUDENTS.
ALL MESSAGING OUTSIDE OF A
SCHOOL APPROVED PLATFORM
THAT PARENTS HAVE ACCESS TO
WOULD BE AGAINST SCHOOL RULES.
>> SEN. TICHENOR (02:54):
AND I KNOW
EVERY PARENT, EVERY TEACHER,
EVERY GOOD TEACHER, EVERY GOOD
HOUSE BILL 622 AMONG OTHER
THINGS IT ALLOWS STATE DOLLARS
TO PAY FOR POLICE OFFICERS AT
(03:14):
PRIVATE K-12 SCHOOLS.
UP TO $5 MILLION A YEAR COULD BE
SPENT THIS WAY.
SOME DEMOCRATS SAY THAT'S NOT
WHAT PUBLIC DOLLARS ARE FOR.
>> I DON'T THINK THAT SHOULD BE
PUBLIC MONEY F IT IS A PRIVATE
SCHOOL THAT SHOULD BE PRIVATE
MONEY.
>> MORE LAWMAKERS SAY THAT'S
MONEY WELL SPENT.
>> REGARDLESS OF IT BEING A
(03:34):
PUBLIC OR A PRIVATE SCHOOL THIS
COMMONWEALTH OF KENTUCKY SHOULD
STAND UP AND BE GRATEFUL FOR
WHAT THE COMMONWEALTH OF
KENTUCKY IS DOING TO PROTECT OUR
CHILDREN IN KENTUCKY.
>> THE SENATE AND THE HOUSE BOTH
APPROVED HOUSE BILL 622 ON THE
FINAL DAY OF SESSION.
LASTLY, THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY
PASSED SENATE RESOLUTION 55,
WHICH REQUIRES PUBLIC
(03:56):
UNIVERSITIES TO OFFER MORE
RESOURCES TO JEWISH STUDENTS WHO
MIGHT BE FACING HARASSMENT
BECAUSE OF THEIR FAITH.
UNIVERSITIES WOULD NEED TO KEEP
TRACK OF REPORTED INCIDENTS OF
ANTISEMITISM.
CRITICS WORTHIES COULD BE USED
TO SILENCE PRO PALESTINIAN
VOICES.
>> WE HAVE SEEN THE
WEAPONIZATION OF THIS THROUGHOUT
OUR COUNTRY.
WE HAVE SEEN OUR GOVERNMENT USE
(04:18):
THIS TO TURN AWAY INDIVIDUALS
WHERE SOCIAL MEDIA HAS BEEN
CHECKED FOR PRO PALESTINIAN
COMMENTS, FOR PEOPLE JUST
SUPPORTING ENDING THE GENOCIDE.
>> A JEWISH DEMOCRAT SUPPORTING
THE RESOLUTION SAYS HE DOES NOT
WANT TO SQUASH THAT SPEECH.
>> UNLIKE MOST OF THE JEWS IN
(04:39):
THE UNITED STATES AT THIS POINT,
I STILL HOPE TO SOME DAY HONOR A
FREE AND INDEPENDENT PALESTINE.
BUT THAT SHOULDN'T BE THE FOCUS
OF TODAY'S CONVERSATION BECAUSE
THAT ISN'T THE FOCUS OF THIS
RESOLUTION.
THE FOCUS IS PROTECTING JEWISH
STUDENTS FROM HARASSMENT,
ASSAULT AND DISCRIMINATION.
>> SENATE JOINT RESOLUTION 55
(05:01):
PASSED OUT OF THE HOUSE WITH SIX
NO VOTES FROM THE DEMOCRATS AND
PASSED OUT OF THE SENATE
UNANIMOUSLY IN FEBRUARY.
>> Renee (05:10):
THANK YOU.
LAWMAKERS ALSO USED THE FINAL
HOURS OF THE SESSION TO AMEND A
CONTROVERSIAL MEASURE THAT
STIRRED UP LGBTQ ADVOCATES.
HOUSE BILL 495, OVERTURNED
GOVERNOR BESHEAR'S EXECUTIVE
ORDER BANNING CONVERSION THERAPY
ON MINORS.
IT ALSO PREVENTEDS MEDICAID FROM
PAYING FOR GENDER AFFIRMING
MEDICAL CARE.
(05:31):
ON FRIDAY, REPUBLICAN SENATOR
MILLS FILED A FLOOR AMENDMENT
THAT HE SAID WOULD CLARIFY
LANGUAGE IN HOUSE BILL 495.
IT BANS MEDICAID FROM PAYING FOR
CROSS SEX HORMONES TO TREAT
GENDER DYSMORPHIA.
HE WAS ASKED ABOUT THE CHANGE BY
(05:51):
SENATOR KAREN BERG.
>> WHAT I SAW WAS THE NEED FOR
CLARIFICATION FOR HORMONE
THERAPY THAT CAN BE USED IN
THINGS LIKE CANCER TREATMENTS.
OUT OF CAUTION, THIS
CLARIFICATION WAS NEEDED.
>> WHY DID WE DECIDE ALL OF A
SUDDEN THAT THESE TREATMENTS
WERE ACCEPTABLE FOR EVERY
(06:17):
SITUATION OTHER THAN THE
DIAGNOSIS OF JEN CUSTOMER
DYSMORPHIA.
I WAS UNDER THE IMPRESSION THIS
BODY FELT THEY WERE PROTECTING
PEOPLE FROM THE DANGEROUS DRUGS.
AND I THINK THAT YOU HAVE SHOWN
THAT THAT IS EXTREMELY
DISINGENUOUS.
THE AMENDMENT WAS
ADOPTED AND ATTACHED TO HOUSE
BILL 501.
THAT BILL ALLOWS PHARMACISTS TO
(06:39):
FILL PRESCRIPTIONS FOR 180 DAYS
IN THE EVENT A PATIENT'S
PRESCRIBING HEALTHCARE PROVIDER
DIES.
SENATOR BERG WHO VOTED AGAINST
THE BILL BECAUSE OF THE FLOOR
LIMIT CHANGED HER VOTE SAYING
THE UNDERLYING BILL WAS NEEDED.
HOUSE BILL 501 PASSED THE SENATE
UNANIMOUSLY.
IT ALSO PASSED THE HOUSE AND WAS
(06:59):
DELIVERED TO THE GOVERNOR.
>>> WE WILL REVIEW THE KENTUCKY
GENERAL ASSEMBLY'S 2025
LEGISLATIVE SESSION TONIGHT ON
"KENTUCKY TONIGHT" FOUR
LAWMAKERS JOIN US AS WE DISCUSS
THE IMPORTANT LEGISLATION PASSED
AND WE WELCOME YOUR QUESTIONS
AND COMMENTS THAT IS TONIGHT AT
8:00 P.M. RIGHT HERE ON KET.
(07:20):
>>> FRESH OFF THE SESSION, ONE
LAWMAKER MAKES IT OFFICIAL.
STATE REPRESENTATIVE AND
KENTUCKY HOUSE DEMOCRATIC LEADER
PAMELA STEVENSON IS RUNNING FOR
U.S. SENATE.
>> WE NEED SOMEONE TO STOP THE
RECKLESSNESS IN WASHINGTON.
SOMEONE TO RESTORE THE BALANCE
OF POWER.
SOMEONE WHO DIDN'T LEARN HOW TO
(07:40):
BE A SENATOR FROM MITCH
McCONNELL.
STEVENSON LAUNCHED
THIS AD ON SOCIAL MEDIA TODAY.
THE DEMOCRAT FROM LOUISVILLE
WRAPPED UP HER FIRST TERM AS
KENTUCKY HOUSE MINORITY LEADER
SHE WAS FIRST ELECTED IN 2021.
AND RAN AGAINST REPUBLICAN
RUSSELL COLEMAN FOR KENTUCKY
(08:00):
ATTORNEY GENERAL.
STEVENSON IS RUNNING TO FILL
MITCH McCONNELL'S SEAT.
THE 83-YEAR-OLD ANNOUNCED IN
FEBRUARY THAT HE WOULD NOT SEEK
REELECTION NEXT YEAR.
>>> FOR THOUSANDS OF NONPROFITS
ACROSS THE STATE AND EXECUTIVE
ORDER BY PRESIDENT TRUMP
FREEZING FEDERAL SPENDING ON
LOANS AND GRANTS LEFT THEM
UNCERTAIN HOW THEY WILL CONTINUE
(08:21):
TO OPERATE.
LAST WEEK, SEVERAL LEADERS
ATTENDED A DAY LONG SUMMIT
HOSTED BY THE KENTUCKY NONPROFIT
NETWORK TO LEARN HOW TO MAKE
SOLID FINANCIAL DECISIONS IN A
TIME OF UNSRNTY.
>> THIS EVENT TODAY IS ABOUT
NONPROFIT FINANCIAL MANAGEMENT
TEACHING NONPROFIT LEADERS SOME
OF WHO ARE FINANCE PEOPLE AND
(08:42):
SOME OF WHOM ARE NOT HAD TO
UNDERSTAND AND BETTER USE THEIR
FINANCIALS TO MAKE SMART,
STRATEGIC DECISIONS IN AN
ENVIRONMENT RIGHT NOW WHERE
NONPROFIT FUNDING IS UP IN THE
AIR IT FEELS UNCERTAIN HELPING
LEADERS UNDERSTAND THEIR
NUMBERS.
>> I'VE SEEN A COUPLE OF
ADMINISTRATIVE TURNOVERS.
I THINK THIS IS THE FIRST ONE
WHERE FEDERAL FUNDING WAS
(09:03):
IMMEDIATELY ADDRESSED AS BEING A
POSSIBLE LOSS TO OUR NONPROFIT
AND MANY OTHERS.
BECAUSE WE ARE FEDERALLY
MANDATED PROGRAM WE RECEIVE
STATE AND FEDERAL FUNDING TO
MEET OUR MISSION.
>> WE KNOW THAT 66% OF
KENTUCKY'S NONPROFITS RECEIVE
SOME PART OF THEIR REVENUE FROM
GOVERNMENT FUNDING.
(09:24):
SO IT IS A HUGE IMPACT AGAIN FOR
THOSE DIRECTLY RECEIVING FUNDS,
AND THOSE WHO PARTNER WITH THOSE
ORGANIZATIONS.
BECAUSE WHEN THE NONPROFIT
ECOSYSTEM HAS A VOID, SOMEBODY
ELSE TYPICALLY HAS TO STEP IN.
>> IF THE FEDERAL FUNDS ARE CUT
IN THE WAY THAT WE'RE SEEING
PROJECTED, THERE'S NOT ENOUGH
INDIVIDUAL DONOR BASE TO MAKEUP
(09:46):
FOR THAT.
I THINK WE ARE ANXIOUSLY
WATCHING TO SEE WHETHER WE NEED
TO DO ADDITIONAL ADVOCACY IN THE
STATE DO MORE DONOR ENGAGEMENT
AND TALKS AND FIGURE OUT HOW TO
BETTER DIVERSIFY OUR INCOME.
>> TALKS ABOUT FORECASTING.
SO YOU KNOW, SORT OF BEING ABLE
(10:06):
TO PREDICT INTO THE FUTURE YOUR
ORGANIZATIONS REVENUE AND
EXPENSES AND ESPECIALLY IN
TODAY'S CLIMATE WHERE FEDERAL
FUNDING FOR NONPROFITS IS
CHANGING BY THE DAY, REALLY
BEING ABLE TO HAVE THIS FORECAST
WILL HELP ORGANIZATIONS BE
STRONGER AND MORE SUSTAINABLE.
>> ULTIMATELY, ORGANIZATIONS IF
THIS CUTS COME TO FRUITION OR
(10:27):
THE PAUSES CONTINUE, WILL HAVE
TO MAKE DECISIONS ABOUT CORE
PROGRAMMING.
WHAT CAN WE CONTINUE TO OFFER
AND HOW DO WE FUND THAT?
WHAT PROGRAMS CAN WE NO LONGER
OFFER AND ULTIMATELY CAN SOMEONE
ELSE PICK THOSE UP?
WILL WE HAVE TO LAY FOLKS OFF?
AND THEY ARE ALL TRYING TO RAISE
ADDITIONAL PRIVATE DOLLARS.
(10:48):
DATA TELLS US THAT TO COMPLETELY
COVER THE AMOUNT OF FEDERAL
DOLLARS FLOWING INTO THE
NONPROFIT SECTOR WOULD REQUIRE A
282% INCREASE IN PRIVATE
PHILANTHROPY.
I WOULD LOVE TO SEE THAT HAPPEN
BUT IT'S UNREALISTIC.
ORGANIZATIONS ARE TRYING TO
RAISE THE MONEY AND RECOGNIZE
(11:10):
THE NUMBER OF PEOPLE COMPETING
FOR THE DOLLARS AND THE TAX
INCENTIVES FOR THE DONORS NO
LONGER EXIST.
WE'RE SAYING TO CONGRESS WE NEED
CHARITABLE GIVING TAX INCENTIVES
TO ENCOURAGE MORE PEOPLE TO GIVE
AND SAYING TO CONGRESS AND THE
WHITE HOUSE SHE IS ARE VITAL
PROGRAMS IN YOUR DISTRICT.
AND WE NEED TO PROTECT THE WORK
(11:30):
THAT NONPROFITS ARE DOING ON
GOVERNMENT'S BEHALF.
BECAUSE COMMUNITIES DON'T THRIVE
WITHOUT NONPROFITS.
AND THEIR WORK TO SUPPORT THEIR
CONSTITUENTS.
THE KENTUCKY NONPROFIT
NETWORK HELPED PUSH FOR HOUSE
BILL 622 IN THE KENTUCKY
LEGISLATURE A MEASURE THAT
REFORMS STATE CONTRACTS WITH
(11:51):
NONPROFITS AND REQUIRES PROMPT
PAYMENT ON BILLS.
LAWMAKERS PASSED THE BILL AND
AWAITS THE GOVERNOR'S SIGNATURE.
>>> THOUSANDS OF KENTUCKIANS
LOST POWER AS SEVERE STORMS
MOVED ACROSS THE STATE.
THE NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE
CONFIRMS A COUPLE OF EF1
TORNADOES TOUCHED DOWN.
LAURA ROGERS CHECKS IN WITH THE
(12:12):
MESONET ABOUT A ACTIVE WEATHER
WEEK.
SHANE SUGGESTS HAVING A COUPLE
OF WAYS TO GET SEVERE WEATHER
ALERTS ESPECIALLY OVERNIGHT.
THAT INCLUDES ON YOUR CELL PHONE
AND A NOAA WEATHER RADIO.
ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THIS NEXT
SYSTEM HE SAYS THERE'S FROST
AND FREEZE POTENTIAL NEXT WEEK.
(12:43):
WE HAD A CONGEALED LINE OF
THUNDERSTORMS RACE ACROSS THE
STATE FROM WEST TO EAST.
EVERYBODY IN THE COMMONWEALTH
WAS IMPACTED SUNDAY NIGHT.
WE HAD WIND GUSTS IN EXCESS OF
60-MILES-PER-HOUR.
AND INCLUDING ONE IN MEADE
COUNTY WITH 68-MILES-PER-HOUR
NOT TOO FAR AWAY FROM
(13:04):
BRANDONBURG AND THAT IS NOT FAR
FROM WHERE ONE TORNADO WAS
CONFIRMED EF1 BY THE NATIONAL
WEATHER SERVICE OFFICE TOUCHING
DOWN IN BOYD COUNTY.
ANOTHER ONE TOUCHING DOWN IN THE
FAIRDALE COMMUNITY OUTSIDE OF
LOUISVILLE.
>> MORE OF THE SAME IS EXPECTED
FOR LATER THIS WEEK.
TELL US WHAT WE NEED TO KNOW TO
(13:25):
PREPARE?
>> THE STORM PREDICTION CENTER
MAP FOR WEDNESDAY LOOKS
IDENTICAL TO THE WAY IT LOOKED
GOING INTO YESTERDAY.
WHERE WE HAD AN ENHANCED RISK
LEVEL 3 OUT OF 5 FOR SEVERE
WEATHER POTENTIAL.
WE'VE GOT THAT UP AGAIN FOR
WEDNESDAY INTO WEDNESDAY NIGHT
FOR A GOOD CHUNK OF KENTUCKY,
SAVE FOR THE EASTERN MOST
PORTIONS BUT EVEN THERE THERE IS
(13:46):
A POSSIBILITY OF SEVERE WEATHER
AS WELL.
ALL MODES ARE BACK IN PLACE THAT
WOULD BE LARGE HAIL GREATER THAN
A QUARTER INCH OR ONE INCH IN
DIAMETER AND ALSO THE POTENTIAL
FOR 60-MILES-PER-HOUR PLUS WINDS
AND THE THREAT FOR TORNADOES.
THE HIGHEST TORNADO THREAT WILL
BE FAR WEST KENTUCKY NOT TO SAY
IT COULD NOT HAPPEN ANYWHERE
(14:07):
ELSE.
IT WILL BE A BUMPY RIDE
WEDNESDAY AND INTO THURSDAY AS
THE FRONTAL SYSTEM THAT GETS
HERE WEDNESDAY NIGHT IS ACTUALLY
GOING TO STALL OVER THE REGION
AND WILL HANGOUT FOR SEVERAL
DAYS.
THAT IS PROBLEMATIC FOR TWO
REASONS (14:21):
ONE WE WILL HAVE A
THREAT FOR SEVERE WEATHER
HIGHLIGHTED BY THE STORM
PREDICTION CENTER FOR THURSDAY
INTO THURSDAY NIGHT.
AND IN ADDITION TO THAT, WITH
REPEATED RAINFALL SOME OF IT
HEAVY, WE'RE LIKELY TO BE
LOOKING AT THE POTENTIAL FOR
FLASH FLOODING WITH AREAL
FLOODING AND RIVER FLOODING
ACROSS THE STATE LATE-WEEK.
(14:41):
AND THIS WILL BE PARTICULARLY
FOR THE PERIOD WEDNESDAY NIGHT
ALL THE WAY INTO THE WEEKEND.
IT COULD BE SUNDAY BEFORE WE DRY
OUT COMPLETELY.
>> WE SAW SOME FLASH FLOODING
NOT TOO LONG AGO THAT WAS DEADLY
AND DESTRUCTIVE AND THAT IS
ALWAYS SO CONCERNING.
YOU SAY WE COULD SEE FLOODING
HAPPEN IN AREAS WHERE THEY ARE
(15:01):
NOT USUALLY PRONE TO THAT?
>> THAT IS RIGHT.
MID-FEBRUARY, THE EVENT THAT
HAPPENED ON FEBRUARY 15 AND 16
WHERE WE SAW SIX PLUS INCHES OF
RAIN.
WE HAD AREAS OF STANDING WATER
THAT DON'T NORMALLY SEE IT.
AND A COUPLE DOZEN FATALITIES
ATTRIBUTED TO THAT EVENT MOSTLY
DUE TO FOLKS DRIVING IN TO AREAS
(15:23):
THAT WERE FLOODED.
YOU NEVER KNOW HOW DEEP THAT
WATER IS, WHEN IT COMES TO
FLOODING.
SO THAT IS WHY WE SAY TURN
AROUND DON'T DROWN.
NOT ONLY THAT, WE HAD WASHED OUT
ROADWAYS IN THE WAKE OF THAT
FEBRUARY FLOODING EVENT.
AND THAT CAUGHT PEOPLE OFF GUARD
AS WELL.
THAT COULD HAPPEN AGAIN.
SOME OF THE FORECAST TOTALS HAVE
(15:44):
BEEN STAGGERING THAT HAVE BEEN
PREDICTED BY NOAA AND THE
WEATHER PREDICTION CENTER IN
EXCESS OF SIX INCHES OF RAIN
LOOKS TO BE LIKELY FROM
GENERALLY NORTHWEST FROM PADUCAH
TO LEXINGTON AND SOME PLACES
COULD GET DOUBLE-DIGIT TOTALS.
WE'RE TALKING ABOUT THE OHIO,
THE GREEN, THE KENTUCKY RIVER
AND TRIBUTARIES SEEING RISING
(16:06):
WATERS FOR SEVERAL DAYS GOING
INTO THE WEEKEND IF NOT BEYOND.
>> THE MESONET AND THE KENTUCKY
CLIMB HAT CENTER WE APPRECIATE
YOU SO MUCH THANKS FOR YOUR TIME
AND INSIGHT.
>> THANK YOU, LAURA.
>> Renee (16:22):
SHANE SUGGESTS HAVING
A COUPLE OF WAYS TO GET SEVERE
WEATHER ALERTS ESPECIALLY
OVERNIGHT INCLUDING ON YOUR
CELLPHONE AND A NOAA WEATHER
RADIO.
ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THIS NEXT
SYSTEM THERE'S FROST AND FREEZE
POTENTIAL NEXT WEEK.
(16:45):
IT'S BEEN RANKED THE
NUMBER ONE BEST SOUTHERN SMALL
TOWN BY "USA TODAY".
MAYSVILLE KENTUCKY IS HOME TO
9,000 PEOPLE AND SITS AT THE
NORTHEAST CORNER OF THE STATE.
OVER THE YEARS, MAYSVILLE'S
DOWNTOWN DISTRICT GAINED
RECOGNITION FOR MIXING MODERN
ATTRACTIONS WITH HISTORIC
PRESERVATION.
WE EXPLORED THIS RIVER CITY AND
(17:07):
TONIGHT'S SEGMENT OF MONDAYS ON
MAIN.
>> IF MAYSVILLE IS YOUR HOME,
THEN YOU ARE DOWNTOWN IS YOUR
LIVING ROOM.
BECAUSE THAT'S WHERE YOU GO TO
BE ENTERTAINED OR TO CELEBRATE.
>> THE HISTORIC BUILDINGS AND
THE HISTORY OF MAYSVILLE IS WHAT
MAKES IT UNIQUE.
AND WHEN TOURISTS COME, THAT'S
(17:29):
ONE OF THE MAIN THINGS THAT
ATTRACTS THEM.
>> YOU CAN COME HERE AND YOU
WALK THE SAME STREETS THAT
DANIEL BOONE WALKED OR SIMON
KENTON WALKED.
WE ARE PROUD TO SAY WE HAVE A
FULL SET OF TEETH ALL THE
BUILDINGS ARE THERE THERE ARE
NOT GAPS LIKE YOU WOULD SEE IN
YOUR TEETH.
(17:49):
>> IN THE NID ELF COVID IN 2021
WE HAD 30 SOME NEW BUSINESSES
OPEN IN MAYSVILLE.
>> JUST TO HAVE A BIG VARIETY OF
BUSINESSES THAT I CAN BOUNCE
AROUND AND WALK INTO IS AMAZING.
>> THERE IS A GREAT LITTLE CAFE
CALLED THE PARK CAFE WHICH IS
JUST A LITTLE SLIZ OF PARIS.
(18:11):
YOU WOULD BE ON THE CHAMPS
ELICESY WHEN HAVING MUFFINS AND
COFFEE AND TURN AROUND AND ONE
OF OUR OLDEST BUSINESSES
DOWNTOWN IS THE LIGHTS A NICE
LITTLE GREASEY SPOON.
MANY OF OUR PROFESSIONAL PLACES
ARE OLD.
WE'VE GOT THE OLDEST BANK OF
KENTUCKY.
(18:31):
THE BANK OF MAYSVILLE AND YOU
WALK IN AND IT'S LIKE A SCENE
OUT OF IT'S A WONDERFUL LIFE.
THEY HAVE KEPT THE MARBLE FLOORS
AND THE OLD WINDOWS WITH THE
BRASS AND ALL THAT.
IT IS A TOURIST ATTRACTION.
>> THERE IS A LOT THAT HAS
STAYED THE SAME WHICH IS
COMFORTING, FAMILIAR AND GREAT
BECAUSE THOSE ARE INSTITUTIONS
(18:52):
IN MAYSVILLE.
FOR EXAMPLE, THE MAYSVILLE
OPERA, THE WASHINGTON OPERA
HOUSE, THE HOME OF THE MAYSVILLE
PLAYERS.
>> WE ARE THE LONGEST RUNNING
COMMUNITY THEATER IN THE STATE
OF KENTUCKY.
IT'S LIKE A FAMILY.
WE PULL IN EVERYONE FROM THE
COMMUNITY AND SURROUNDING
COMMUNITIES AND WE PUT ON SHOWS
HERE.
>> THERE'S OUR KENTUCKY GATEWAY
MUSEUM CENTER.
(19:13):
AND THE MINIATURE COLLECTION IT
IS INTERNATIONALLY RENOWNED.
>> LIKE NOTHING YOU'VE SEEN.
THEY ARE JAW DROPPING.
THE LARGEST PRIVATE COLLECTION
IN THE WORLD.
>> WE'VE HAD VISITORS FROM NINE
COUNTRIES ALREADY THIS YEAR
ALONE WHEN YOU LOOK AT JANUARY,
FEBRUARY, MARCH BEING TOURISM
MONTHS THAT DON'T SEE USUALLY A
(19:33):
LOT OF TRACTION THAT IS
PHENOMENAL AND 17 STATES ON TOP
OF THE COUNTRIES.
>> A FEW YEARS AGO THE TERM WAS
COINED CENTER OF THE UNIVERSE.
AND I THINK THE PERSON THAT JUST
STARTED SAYING IT, HE WAS JOHN
BRESLIN WHO SIDE NOTE, JUST
HAPPENS TO BE THE TOUR DIRECTOR
FOR GARTH BROOKS.
(19:55):
BROOKS RUNS AROUND WITH A
SWEATSHIRT THAT SAYS MAYSVILLE,
KENTUCKY CENTER OF THE UNIVERSE.
YOU CAN SEE THIS ON INSTAGRAM.
>> WHAT DRIVES YOU MOST TO STAY
IN DOWNTOWN MAYSVILLE BECAUSE
YOU KNOW EACH OTHER.
YOU GO INTO THE BRADLEY'S
BOUTIQUE THEY SAY HELLO, DAVID
HOW CAN I HELP YOU.
(20:16):
>> WE OFFER NEW BOUTIQUE ITEMS
AND BRING IN CRAFTERS AND DO
CONSIGN.
I HAVE CONSIGNMENT FOR MEN'S
WOMEN'S AND CHILDREN'S.
YOU COULD NOT BELIEVE HOW MANY
VENDORS WE HAVE FOR THAT.
>> WHEN YOU GO DOWNTOWN YOU WILL
MEET PEOPLE AND THEY WILL STOP
AND TALK TO YOU AND SAY HELLO I
LOVE THAT ABOUT OUR TOWN AND
(20:37):
KENTUCKY.
>> I'M ALWAYS WELCOMING SOMEBODY
TO TOWN.
AND I SAY WHERE ARE YOU FROM?
AND MY FRIENDS WHY DO YOU TALK
TO EVERYBODY?
IT'S IMPORTANT TO MAKE THEM FEEL
WELCOME.
AND WE HAPPEN TO SEE IT WE TOOK
A DAY STRIP WE COME TO MAYSVILLE
AND THEY KEEP COMING BACK
BECAUSE IT IS A WELCOMING TOWN
AND A BEAUTIFUL TOWN.
(20:59):
INDEED, IT IS.
MAYSVILLE IS PREPARING FOR THE
FESTIVAL AND CONCERT SEASON
WHICH KICKS OFF IN EARLY JUNE
AND CONTINUES THROUGHOUT THE
SUMMER.
FOR 20 YEARS, THE NATIONAL
ORGANIZATION STORY CORPS HAS
BEEN RECORDING EXPERIENCES FROM
ALL WALKS OF LIFE.
(21:20):
ITS TOUR IS MAKING AROUND THE
U.S. STOPPING IN CITIES TO ADD
TO ITS COLLECTION OF STORIES.
THE LATEST STOP (21:27):
LEXINGTON.
TIMED TO HELP THE CITY CELEBRATE
ITS 250TH BIRTHDAY.
>> STORY CORPS IS A NATIONAL
NONPROFIT DEDICATED TO
RECORDING, PRESERVING AND
SHARING THE STORIES OF PEOPLE
FROM ALL BACKGROUNDS AND
BELIEFS.
THEY ARE COMMITTED TO THE IDEA
THAT EVERYONE HAS AN IMPORTANT
(21:48):
STORY TO TELL.
AND THAT EVERYONE'S STORY
MATTERS.
THEIR MISSION (21:52):
TO HELP US
BELIEVE IN EACH OTHER BY
ILLUMINATING THE HUMANITY AND
POSSIBILITY IN US ALL ONE STORY
AT A TIME.
>> I USUALLY WHAT COMES UP IS
THINGS OF FAMILY, COMMUNITY,
MEANINGFUL RELATIONSHIPS, WORK
THAT YOU DO AND HOW YOU WERE
DRAWN TO IT.
CAREER.
WORK-LIFE BALANCE.
(22:12):
PEOPLE TALK ABOUT THE CITY THEY
ARE IN.
WE'VE HEARD THIS IS THE 250TH
ANNIVERSARY OF THE CITY OF
LEXINGTON AND OUR HOPE IS TO GET
PEOPLE TO TALK ABOUT THEIR CITY.
WHAT DO WAY WANT LEXINGTON TO
LOOK LIKE IN THE FUTURE.
THAT MIGHT BE A THEME THAT I'M
EXCITED TO SEE COME OUT.
>> EVERY MONTH OF OUR 250 LATINX
(22:34):
BIRTHDAY HAS A THEME.
AND THE THEME FOR APRIL IS MUSIC
AND THE WRITTEN WORD.
AND THE WRITTEN WORD LEADS TO
THE SPOKEN WORD.
SO THE CELEBRATION OF SHARING
STORIES THROUGH VARIOUS ART
FORMS FITS IN WELL WITH STORY
CORPS.
RECORDING THE WORDS AND STORIES
OF OUR COMMUNITY MEMBERS.
(22:55):
>> WE JUST SAT DOWN AT A TABLE
IN THE TRAILER WITH TWO
MICROPHONES AND HAD AN OPEN
CONVO.
HE HAD QUESTIONS IN THE
BEGINNING TO GET TO ME ME BUT IT
TRANSFORMED INTO THIS SHARED
EXPERIENCE WE GOT TO LIKE GET TO
KNOW EACH OTHER IN A WAY WHICH
(23:15):
IS REALLY COOL.
SOMEBODY WILL BRING SOMEBODY
INTO PEOPLE THEY KNOW BUT IT WAS
COOL TO GET TO KNOW SOMEBODY
THAT I DIDN'T KNOW.
AND FIND SHARED EXPERIENCES IN
THAT.
>> I'VE TALKED A LOT ABOUT MY
EXPERIENCES AS A QUEER PERSON
AND A TRANS PERSON AND WHAT IT
WAS LIKE GROWING UP AND HOW MY
(23:36):
IDENTITIES HELPED FUEL THE WORK
THAT I GET TO DO NOW.
>> WE HAVE OVER 380,000
RECORDINGS FROM ALMOST 700,000
PEOPLE.
ALL 50 STATES OVER THE LAST 22
YEARS WE ARE THE LARGEST
COLLECTION OF HUMAN VOICES EVER
GATHERED.
AND I HEAR I DON'T HAVE A GOOD
STORY I DON'T HAVE ANYTHING TO
SAY.
I WANT TO CHALLENGE THAT AND
(23:57):
THINK OF ANY DISTINCT
RELATIONSHIP, EVENT IN YOUR LIFE
THAT SHAPED YOU INTO WHO YOU
ARE.
EVERYONE HAS ONE OF THOSE AND I
THINK IT'S REALLY IMPORTANT TO
GET THAT OUT.
NOT JUST FOR YOURSELF BUT FOR A
WIDER AUDIENCE AND PEOPLE IN
YOUR FAMILY.
IT'S SUPER IMPORTANT AND SERVE
AS A RECORD WHO ARE WE AS A
(24:17):
COUNTRY WHAT ARE ISSUES
HAPPENING IN THE COMMUNITY.
>> I THINK ESPECIALLY FOR
MARGINALIZED COMMUNITIES IT'S
BECOMING MORE AND MORE IMPORTANT
TO SHARE THOSE EXPERIENCES WITH
PEOPLE.
BECAUSE THOSE VOICES ARE OFTEN
SILENCED AND ALSO BECAUSE THERE
MIGHT BE YOUNG PEOPLE WHO ARE
FIGURING OUT THEIR IDENTITY OUT
(24:37):
IN THE WORLD WHO MIGHT HEAR THAT
STORY OR MIGHT SEE THAT STORY
AND REALIZE LIKE I'M NOT THE
ONLY PERSON THAT FEELS THIS WAY.
>> PEOPLE EVERYWHERE ARE
INTERESTING.
THE QUALITY OF THE STORY DOESN'T
MATTER WHERE YOU ARE FROM AND
THE MOBILE TOUR EXEMPT ANIES
THAT.
WE FIND YOU INTERESTING AND WANT
TO HEAR WHAT YOU HAVE TO SAY SO
(24:59):
PLEASE TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THE
OPPORTUNITY.

ONE OF THE FINAL TESTIMONIES TO
LAWMAKERS THIS LEGISLATIVE
SESSION.
IN ORDER TO FACILITATED OUR
DAUGHTER'S ROMANTIC RELATIONSHIP
WE BELIEVED WERE UNHEALTH THINK.
THERE WERE 10 PHONE CALLS
BETWEEN OUR DAUGHTER AND THE
COUNSELOR AND ALL OCCURRED
(02:36):
WITHOUT OUR KNOWLEDGE OR
CONSENT.
>> JUNE (02:46):
SHE SPOKE IN FAVOR OF
SENATE BILL 181, WHICH RESTRICTS
ELECTRONIC COMMUNICATIONS
BETWEEN SCHOOL STAFF AND
STUDENTS.
ALL MESSAGING OUTSIDE OF A
SCHOOL APPROVED PLATFORM
THAT PARENTS HAVE ACCESS TO
WOULD BE AGAINST SCHOOL RULES.
>> SEN. TICHENOR (02:54):
AND I KNOW
EVERY PARENT, EVERY TEACHER,
EVERY GOOD TEACHER, EVERY GOOD
HOUSE BILL 622 AMONG OTHER
THINGS IT ALLOWS STATE DOLLARS
TO PAY FOR POLICE OFFICERS AT
(03:14):
PRIVATE K-12 SCHOOLS.
UP TO $5 MILLION A YEAR COULD BE
SPENT THIS WAY.
SOME DEMOCRATS SAY THAT'S NOT
WHAT PUBLIC DOLLARS ARE FOR.
>> I DON'T THINK THAT SHOULD BE
PUBLIC MONEY F IT IS A PRIVATE
SCHOOL THAT SHOULD BE PRIVATE
MONEY.
>> MORE LAWMAKERS SAY THAT'S
MONEY WELL SPENT.
>> REGARDLESS OF IT BEING A
(03:34):
PUBLIC OR A PRIVATE SCHOOL THIS
COMMONWEALTH OF KENTUCKY SHOULD
STAND UP AND BE GRATEFUL FOR
WHAT THE COMMONWEALTH OF
KENTUCKY IS DOING TO PROTECT OUR
CHILDREN IN KENTUCKY.
>> THE SENATE AND THE HOUSE BOTH
APPROVED HOUSE BILL 622 ON THE
FINAL DAY OF SESSION.
LASTLY, THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY
PASSED SENATE RESOLUTION 55,
WHICH REQUIRES PUBLIC
(03:56):
UNIVERSITIES TO OFFER MORE
RESOURCES TO JEWISH STUDENTS WHO
MIGHT BE FACING HARASSMENT
BECAUSE OF THEIR FAITH.
UNIVERSITIES WOULD NEED TO KEEP
TRACK OF REPORTED INCIDENTS OF
ANTISEMITISM.
CRITICS WORTHIES COULD BE USED
TO SILENCE PRO PALESTINIAN
VOICES.
>> WE HAVE SEEN THE
WEAPONIZATION OF THIS THROUGHOUT
OUR COUNTRY.
WE HAVE SEEN OUR GOVERNMENT USE
(04:18):
THIS TO TURN AWAY INDIVIDUALS
WHERE SOCIAL MEDIA HAS BEEN
CHECKED FOR PRO PALESTINIAN
COMMENTS, FOR PEOPLE JUST
SUPPORTING ENDING THE GENOCIDE.
>> A JEWISH DEMOCRAT SUPPORTING
THE RESOLUTION SAYS HE DOES NOT
WANT TO SQUASH THAT SPEECH.
>> UNLIKE MOST OF THE JEWS IN
(04:39):
THE UNITED STATES AT THIS POINT,
I STILL HOPE TO SOME DAY HONOR A
FREE AND INDEPENDENT PALESTINE.
BUT THAT SHOULDN'T BE THE FOCUS
OF TODAY'S CONVERSATION BECAUSE
THAT ISN'T THE FOCUS OF THIS
RESOLUTION.
THE FOCUS IS PROTECTING JEWISH
STUDENTS FROM HARASSMENT,
ASSAULT AND DISCRIMINATION.
>> SENATE JOINT RESOLUTION 55
(05:01):
PASSED OUT OF THE HOUSE WITH SIX
NO VOTES FROM THE DEMOCRATS AND
PASSED OUT OF THE SENATE
UNANIMOUSLY IN FEBRUARY.
>> Renee (05:10):
THANK YOU.
LAWMAKERS ALSO USED THE FINAL
HOURS OF THE SESSION TO AMEND A
CONTROVERSIAL MEASURE THAT
STIRRED UP LGBTQ ADVOCATES.
HOUSE BILL 495, OVERTURNED
GOVERNOR BESHEAR'S EXECUTIVE
ORDER BANNING CONVERSION THERAPY
ON MINORS.
IT ALSO PREVENTEDS MEDICAID FROM
PAYING FOR GENDER AFFIRMING
MEDICAL CARE.
(05:31):
ON FRIDAY, REPUBLICAN SENATOR
MILLS FILED A FLOOR AMENDMENT
THAT HE SAID WOULD CLARIFY
LANGUAGE IN HOUSE BILL 495.
IT BANS MEDICAID FROM PAYING FOR
CROSS SEX HORMONES TO TREAT
GENDER DYSMORPHIA.
HE WAS ASKED ABOUT THE CHANGE BY
(05:51):
SENATOR KAREN BERG.
>> WHAT I SAW WAS THE NEED FOR
CLARIFICATION FOR HORMONE
THERAPY THAT CAN BE USED IN
THINGS LIKE CANCER TREATMENTS.
OUT OF CAUTION, THIS
CLARIFICATION WAS NEEDED.
>> WHY DID WE DECIDE ALL OF A
SUDDEN THAT THESE TREATMENTS
WERE ACCEPTABLE FOR EVERY
(06:17):
SITUATION OTHER THAN THE
DIAGNOSIS OF JEN CUSTOMER
DYSMORPHIA.
I WAS UNDER THE IMPRESSION THIS
BODY FELT THEY WERE PROTECTING
PEOPLE FROM THE DANGEROUS DRUGS.
AND I THINK THAT YOU HAVE SHOWN
THAT THAT IS EXTREMELY
DISINGENUOUS.
THE AMENDMENT WAS
ADOPTED AND ATTACHED TO HOUSE
BILL 501.
THAT BILL ALLOWS PHARMACISTS TO
(06:39):
FILL PRESCRIPTIONS FOR 180 DAYS
IN THE EVENT A PATIENT'S
PRESCRIBING HEALTHCARE PROVIDER
DIES.
SENATOR BERG WHO VOTED AGAINST
THE BILL BECAUSE OF THE FLOOR
LIMIT CHANGED HER VOTE SAYING
THE UNDERLYING BILL WAS NEEDED.
HOUSE BILL 501 PASSED THE SENATE
UNANIMOUSLY.
IT ALSO PASSED THE HOUSE AND WAS
(06:59):
DELIVERED TO THE GOVERNOR.
>>> WE WILL REVIEW THE KENTUCKY
GENERAL ASSEMBLY'S 2025
LEGISLATIVE SESSION TONIGHT ON
"KENTUCKY TONIGHT" FOUR
LAWMAKERS JOIN US AS WE DISCUSS
THE IMPORTANT LEGISLATION PASSED
AND WE WELCOME YOUR QUESTIONS
AND COMMENTS THAT IS TONIGHT AT
8:00 P.M. RIGHT HERE ON KET.
(07:20):
>>> FRESH OFF THE SESSION, ONE
LAWMAKER MAKES IT OFFICIAL.
STATE REPRESENTATIVE AND
KENTUCKY HOUSE DEMOCRATIC LEADER
PAMELA STEVENSON IS RUNNING FOR
U.S. SENATE.
>> WE NEED SOMEONE TO STOP THE
RECKLESSNESS IN WASHINGTON.
SOMEONE TO RESTORE THE BALANCE
OF POWER.
SOMEONE WHO DIDN'T LEARN HOW TO
(07:40):
BE A SENATOR FROM MITCH
McCONNELL.
STEVENSON LAUNCHED
THIS AD ON SOCIAL MEDIA TODAY.
THE DEMOCRAT FROM LOUISVILLE
WRAPPED UP HER FIRST TERM AS
KENTUCKY HOUSE MINORITY LEADER
SHE WAS FIRST ELECTED IN 2021.
AND RAN AGAINST REPUBLICAN
RUSSELL COLEMAN FOR KENTUCKY
(08:00):
ATTORNEY GENERAL.
STEVENSON IS RUNNING TO FILL
MITCH McCONNELL'S SEAT.
THE 83-YEAR-OLD ANNOUNCED IN
FEBRUARY THAT HE WOULD NOT SEEK
REELECTION NEXT YEAR.
>>> FOR THOUSANDS OF NONPROFITS
ACROSS THE STATE AND EXECUTIVE
ORDER BY PRESIDENT TRUMP
FREEZING FEDERAL SPENDING ON
LOANS AND GRANTS LEFT THEM
UNCERTAIN HOW THEY WILL CONTINUE
(08:21):
TO OPERATE.
LAST WEEK, SEVERAL LEADERS
ATTENDED A DAY LONG SUMMIT
HOSTED BY THE KENTUCKY NONPROFIT
NETWORK TO LEARN HOW TO MAKE
SOLID FINANCIAL DECISIONS IN A
TIME OF UNSRNTY.
>> THIS EVENT TODAY IS ABOUT
NONPROFIT FINANCIAL MANAGEMENT
TEACHING NONPROFIT LEADERS SOME
OF WHO ARE FINANCE PEOPLE AND
(08:42):
SOME OF WHOM ARE NOT HAD TO
UNDERSTAND AND BETTER USE THEIR
FINANCIALS TO MAKE SMART,
STRATEGIC DECISIONS IN AN
ENVIRONMENT RIGHT NOW WHERE
NONPROFIT FUNDING IS UP IN THE
AIR IT FEELS UNCERTAIN HELPING
LEADERS UNDERSTAND THEIR
NUMBERS.
>> I'VE SEEN A COUPLE OF
ADMINISTRATIVE TURNOVERS.
I THINK THIS IS THE FIRST ONE
WHERE FEDERAL FUNDING WAS
(09:03):
IMMEDIATELY ADDRESSED AS BEING A
POSSIBLE LOSS TO OUR NONPROFIT
AND MANY OTHERS.
BECAUSE WE ARE FEDERALLY
MANDATED PROGRAM WE RECEIVE
STATE AND FEDERAL FUNDING TO
MEET OUR MISSION.
>> WE KNOW THAT 66% OF
KENTUCKY'S NONPROFITS RECEIVE
SOME PART OF THEIR REVENUE FROM
GOVERNMENT FUNDING.
(09:24):
SO IT IS A HUGE IMPACT AGAIN FOR
THOSE DIRECTLY RECEIVING FUNDS,
AND THOSE WHO PARTNER WITH THOSE
ORGANIZATIONS.
BECAUSE WHEN THE NONPROFIT
ECOSYSTEM HAS A VOID, SOMEBODY
ELSE TYPICALLY HAS TO STEP IN.
>> IF THE FEDERAL FUNDS ARE CUT
IN THE WAY THAT WE'RE SEEING
PROJECTED, THERE'S NOT ENOUGH
INDIVIDUAL DONOR BASE TO MAKEUP
(09:46):
FOR THAT.
I THINK WE ARE ANXIOUSLY
WATCHING TO SEE WHETHER WE NEED
TO DO ADDITIONAL ADVOCACY IN THE
STATE DO MORE DONOR ENGAGEMENT
AND TALKS AND FIGURE OUT HOW TO
BETTER DIVERSIFY OUR INCOME.
>> TALKS ABOUT FORECASTING.
SO YOU KNOW, SORT OF BEING ABLE
(10:06):
TO PREDICT INTO THE FUTURE YOUR
ORGANIZATIONS REVENUE AND
EXPENSES AND ESPECIALLY IN
TODAY'S CLIMATE WHERE FEDERAL
FUNDING FOR NONPROFITS IS
CHANGING BY THE DAY, REALLY
BEING ABLE TO HAVE THIS FORECAST
WILL HELP ORGANIZATIONS BE
STRONGER AND MORE SUSTAINABLE.
>> ULTIMATELY, ORGANIZATIONS IF
THIS CUTS COME TO FRUITION OR
(10:27):
THE PAUSES CONTINUE, WILL HAVE
TO MAKE DECISIONS ABOUT CORE
PROGRAMMING.
WHAT CAN WE CONTINUE TO OFFER
AND HOW DO WE FUND THAT?
WHAT PROGRAMS CAN WE NO LONGER
OFFER AND ULTIMATELY CAN SOMEONE
ELSE PICK THOSE UP?
WILL WE HAVE TO LAY FOLKS OFF?
AND THEY ARE ALL TRYING TO RAISE
ADDITIONAL PRIVATE DOLLARS.
(10:48):
DATA TELLS US THAT TO COMPLETELY
COVER THE AMOUNT OF FEDERAL
DOLLARS FLOWING INTO THE
NONPROFIT SECTOR WOULD REQUIRE A
282% INCREASE IN PRIVATE
PHILANTHROPY.
I WOULD LOVE TO SEE THAT HAPPEN
BUT IT'S UNREALISTIC.
ORGANIZATIONS ARE TRYING TO
RAISE THE MONEY AND RECOGNIZE
(11:10):
THE NUMBER OF PEOPLE COMPETING
FOR THE DOLLARS AND THE TAX
INCENTIVES FOR THE DONORS NO
LONGER EXIST.
WE'RE SAYING TO CONGRESS WE NEED
CHARITABLE GIVING TAX INCENTIVES
TO ENCOURAGE MORE PEOPLE TO GIVE
AND SAYING TO CONGRESS AND THE
WHITE HOUSE SHE IS ARE VITAL
PROGRAMS IN YOUR DISTRICT.
AND WE NEED TO PROTECT THE WORK
(11:30):
THAT NONPROFITS ARE DOING ON
GOVERNMENT'S BEHALF.
BECAUSE COMMUNITIES DON'T THRIVE
WITHOUT NONPROFITS.
AND THEIR WORK TO SUPPORT THEIR
CONSTITUENTS.
THE KENTUCKY NONPROFIT
NETWORK HELPED PUSH FOR HOUSE
BILL 622 IN THE KENTUCKY
LEGISLATURE A MEASURE THAT
REFORMS STATE CONTRACTS WITH
(11:51):
NONPROFITS AND REQUIRES PROMPT
PAYMENT ON BILLS.
LAWMAKERS PASSED THE BILL AND
AWAITS THE GOVERNOR'S SIGNATURE.
>>> THOUSANDS OF KENTUCKIANS
LOST POWER AS SEVERE STORMS
MOVED ACROSS THE STATE.
THE NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE
CONFIRMS A COUPLE OF EF1
TORNADOES TOUCHED DOWN.
LAURA ROGERS CHECKS IN WITH THE
(12:12):
MESONET ABOUT A ACTIVE WEATHER
WEEK.
SHANE SUGGESTS HAVING A COUPLE
OF WAYS TO GET SEVERE WEATHER
ALERTS ESPECIALLY OVERNIGHT.
THAT INCLUDES ON YOUR CELL PHONE
AND A NOAA WEATHER RADIO.
ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THIS NEXT
SYSTEM HE SAYS THERE'S FROST
AND FREEZE POTENTIAL NEXT WEEK.
(12:43):
WE HAD A CONGEALED LINE OF
THUNDERSTORMS RACE ACROSS THE
STATE FROM WEST TO EAST.
EVERYBODY IN THE COMMONWEALTH
WAS IMPACTED SUNDAY NIGHT.
WE HAD WIND GUSTS IN EXCESS OF
60-MILES-PER-HOUR.
AND INCLUDING ONE IN MEADE
COUNTY WITH 68-MILES-PER-HOUR
NOT TOO FAR AWAY FROM
(13:04):
BRANDONBURG AND THAT IS NOT FAR
FROM WHERE ONE TORNADO WAS
CONFIRMED EF1 BY THE NATIONAL
WEATHER SERVICE OFFICE TOUCHING
DOWN IN BOYD COUNTY.
ANOTHER ONE TOUCHING DOWN IN THE
FAIRDALE COMMUNITY OUTSIDE OF
LOUISVILLE.
>> MORE OF THE SAME IS EXPECTED
FOR LATER THIS WEEK.
TELL US WHAT WE NEED TO KNOW TO
(13:25):
PREPARE?
>> THE STORM PREDICTION CENTER
MAP FOR WEDNESDAY LOOKS
IDENTICAL TO THE WAY IT LOOKED
GOING INTO YESTERDAY.
WHERE WE HAD AN ENHANCED RISK
LEVEL 3 OUT OF 5 FOR SEVERE
WEATHER POTENTIAL.
WE'VE GOT THAT UP AGAIN FOR
WEDNESDAY INTO WEDNESDAY NIGHT
FOR A GOOD CHUNK OF KENTUCKY,
SAVE FOR THE EASTERN MOST
PORTIONS BUT EVEN THERE THERE IS
(13:46):
A POSSIBILITY OF SEVERE WEATHER
AS WELL.
ALL MODES ARE BACK IN PLACE THAT
WOULD BE LARGE HAIL GREATER THAN
A QUARTER INCH OR ONE INCH IN
DIAMETER AND ALSO THE POTENTIAL
FOR 60-MILES-PER-HOUR PLUS WINDS
AND THE THREAT FOR TORNADOES.
THE HIGHEST TORNADO THREAT WILL
BE FAR WEST KENTUCKY NOT TO SAY
IT COULD NOT HAPPEN ANYWHERE
(14:07):
ELSE.
IT WILL BE A BUMPY RIDE
WEDNESDAY AND INTO THURSDAY AS
THE FRONTAL SYSTEM THAT GETS
HERE WEDNESDAY NIGHT IS ACTUALLY
GOING TO STALL OVER THE REGION
AND WILL HANGOUT FOR SEVERAL
DAYS.
THAT IS PROBLEMATIC FOR TWO
REASONS (14:21):
ONE WE WILL HAVE A
THREAT FOR SEVERE WEATHER
HIGHLIGHTED BY THE STORM
PREDICTION CENTER FOR THURSDAY
INTO THURSDAY NIGHT.
AND IN ADDITION TO THAT, WITH
REPEATED RAINFALL SOME OF IT
HEAVY, WE'RE LIKELY TO BE
LOOKING AT THE POTENTIAL FOR
FLASH FLOODING WITH AREAL
FLOODING AND RIVER FLOODING
ACROSS THE STATE LATE-WEEK.
(14:41):
AND THIS WILL BE PARTICULARLY
FOR THE PERIOD WEDNESDAY NIGHT
ALL THE WAY INTO THE WEEKEND.
IT COULD BE SUNDAY BEFORE WE DRY
OUT COMPLETELY.
>> WE SAW SOME FLASH FLOODING
NOT TOO LONG AGO THAT WAS DEADLY
AND DESTRUCTIVE AND THAT IS
ALWAYS SO CONCERNING.
YOU SAY WE COULD SEE FLOODING
HAPPEN IN AREAS WHERE THEY ARE
(15:01):
NOT USUALLY PRONE TO THAT?
>> THAT IS RIGHT.
MID-FEBRUARY, THE EVENT THAT
HAPPENED ON FEBRUARY 15 AND 16
WHERE WE SAW SIX PLUS INCHES OF
RAIN.
WE HAD AREAS OF STANDING WATER
THAT DON'T NORMALLY SEE IT.
AND A COUPLE DOZEN FATALITIES
ATTRIBUTED TO THAT EVENT MOSTLY
DUE TO FOLKS DRIVING IN TO AREAS
(15:23):
THAT WERE FLOODED.
YOU NEVER KNOW HOW DEEP THAT
WATER IS, WHEN IT COMES TO
FLOODING.
SO THAT IS WHY WE SAY TURN
AROUND DON'T DROWN.
NOT ONLY THAT, WE HAD WASHED OUT
ROADWAYS IN THE WAKE OF THAT
FEBRUARY FLOODING EVENT.
AND THAT CAUGHT PEOPLE OFF GUARD
AS WELL.
THAT COULD HAPPEN AGAIN.
SOME OF THE FORECAST TOTALS HAVE
(15:44):
BEEN STAGGERING THAT HAVE BEEN
PREDICTED BY NOAA AND THE
WEATHER PREDICTION CENTER IN
EXCESS OF SIX INCHES OF RAIN
LOOKS TO BE LIKELY FROM
GENERALLY NORTHWEST FROM PADUCAH
TO LEXINGTON AND SOME PLACES
COULD GET DOUBLE-DIGIT TOTALS.
WE'RE TALKING ABOUT THE OHIO,
THE GREEN, THE KENTUCKY RIVER
AND TRIBUTARIES SEEING RISING
(16:06):
WATERS FOR SEVERAL DAYS GOING
INTO THE WEEKEND IF NOT BEYOND.
>> THE MESONET AND THE KENTUCKY
CLIMB HAT CENTER WE APPRECIATE
YOU SO MUCH THANKS FOR YOUR TIME
AND INSIGHT.
>> THANK YOU, LAURA.
>> Renee (16:22):
SHANE SUGGESTS HAVING
A COUPLE OF WAYS TO GET SEVERE
WEATHER ALERTS ESPECIALLY
OVERNIGHT INCLUDING ON YOUR
CELLPHONE AND A NOAA WEATHER
RADIO.
ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THIS NEXT
SYSTEM THERE'S FROST AND FREEZE
POTENTIAL NEXT WEEK.
(16:45):
IT'S BEEN RANKED THE
NUMBER ONE BEST SOUTHERN SMALL
TOWN BY "USA TODAY".
MAYSVILLE KENTUCKY IS HOME TO
9,000 PEOPLE AND SITS AT THE
NORTHEAST CORNER OF THE STATE.
OVER THE YEARS, MAYSVILLE'S
DOWNTOWN DISTRICT GAINED
RECOGNITION FOR MIXING MODERN
ATTRACTIONS WITH HISTORIC
PRESERVATION.
WE EXPLORED THIS RIVER CITY AND
(17:07):
TONIGHT'S SEGMENT OF MONDAYS ON
MAIN.
>> IF MAYSVILLE IS YOUR HOME,
THEN YOU ARE DOWNTOWN IS YOUR
LIVING ROOM.
BECAUSE THAT'S WHERE YOU GO TO
BE ENTERTAINED OR TO CELEBRATE.
>> THE HISTORIC BUILDINGS AND
THE HISTORY OF MAYSVILLE IS WHAT
MAKES IT UNIQUE.
AND WHEN TOURISTS COME, THAT'S
(17:29):
ONE OF THE MAIN THINGS THAT
ATTRACTS THEM.
>> YOU CAN COME HERE AND YOU
WALK THE SAME STREETS THAT
DANIEL BOONE WALKED OR SIMON
KENTON WALKED.
WE ARE PROUD TO SAY WE HAVE A
FULL SET OF TEETH ALL THE
BUILDINGS ARE THERE THERE ARE
NOT GAPS LIKE YOU WOULD SEE IN
YOUR TEETH.
(17:49):
>> IN THE NID ELF COVID IN 2021
WE HAD 30 SOME NEW BUSINESSES
OPEN IN MAYSVILLE.
>> JUST TO HAVE A BIG VARIETY OF
BUSINESSES THAT I CAN BOUNCE
AROUND AND WALK INTO IS AMAZING.
>> THERE IS A GREAT LITTLE CAFE
CALLED THE PARK CAFE WHICH IS
JUST A LITTLE SLIZ OF PARIS.
(18:11):
YOU WOULD BE ON THE CHAMPS
ELICESY WHEN HAVING MUFFINS AND
COFFEE AND TURN AROUND AND ONE
OF OUR OLDEST BUSINESSES
DOWNTOWN IS THE LIGHTS A NICE
LITTLE GREASEY SPOON.
MANY OF OUR PROFESSIONAL PLACES
ARE OLD.
WE'VE GOT THE OLDEST BANK OF
KENTUCKY.
(18:31):
THE BANK OF MAYSVILLE AND YOU
WALK IN AND IT'S LIKE A SCENE
OUT OF IT'S A WONDERFUL LIFE.
THEY HAVE KEPT THE MARBLE FLOORS
AND THE OLD WINDOWS WITH THE
BRASS AND ALL THAT.
IT IS A TOURIST ATTRACTION.
>> THERE IS A LOT THAT HAS
STAYED THE SAME WHICH IS
COMFORTING, FAMILIAR AND GREAT
BECAUSE THOSE ARE INSTITUTIONS
(18:52):
IN MAYSVILLE.
FOR EXAMPLE, THE MAYSVILLE
OPERA, THE WASHINGTON OPERA
HOUSE, THE HOME OF THE MAYSVILLE
PLAYERS.
>> WE ARE THE LONGEST RUNNING
COMMUNITY THEATER IN THE STATE
OF KENTUCKY.
IT'S LIKE A FAMILY.
WE PULL IN EVERYONE FROM THE
COMMUNITY AND SURROUNDING
COMMUNITIES AND WE PUT ON SHOWS
HERE.
>> THERE'S OUR KENTUCKY GATEWAY
MUSEUM CENTER.
(19:13):
AND THE MINIATURE COLLECTION IT
IS INTERNATIONALLY RENOWNED.
>> LIKE NOTHING YOU'VE SEEN.
THEY ARE JAW DROPPING.
THE LARGEST PRIVATE COLLECTION
IN THE WORLD.
>> WE'VE HAD VISITORS FROM NINE
COUNTRIES ALREADY THIS YEAR
ALONE WHEN YOU LOOK AT JANUARY,
FEBRUARY, MARCH BEING TOURISM
MONTHS THAT DON'T SEE USUALLY A
(19:33):
LOT OF TRACTION THAT IS
PHENOMENAL AND 17 STATES ON TOP
OF THE COUNTRIES.
>> A FEW YEARS AGO THE TERM WAS
COINED CENTER OF THE UNIVERSE.
AND I THINK THE PERSON THAT JUST
STARTED SAYING IT, HE WAS JOHN
BRESLIN WHO SIDE NOTE, JUST
HAPPENS TO BE THE TOUR DIRECTOR
FOR GARTH BROOKS.
(19:55):
BROOKS RUNS AROUND WITH A
SWEATSHIRT THAT SAYS MAYSVILLE,
KENTUCKY CENTER OF THE UNIVERSE.
YOU CAN SEE THIS ON INSTAGRAM.
>> WHAT DRIVES YOU MOST TO STAY
IN DOWNTOWN MAYSVILLE BECAUSE
YOU KNOW EACH OTHER.
YOU GO INTO THE BRADLEY'S
BOUTIQUE THEY SAY HELLO, DAVID
HOW CAN I HELP YOU.
(20:16):
>> WE OFFER NEW BOUTIQUE ITEMS
AND BRING IN CRAFTERS AND DO
CONSIGN.
I HAVE CONSIGNMENT FOR MEN'S
WOMEN'S AND CHILDREN'S.
YOU COULD NOT BELIEVE HOW MANY
VENDORS WE HAVE FOR THAT.
>> WHEN YOU GO DOWNTOWN YOU WILL
MEET PEOPLE AND THEY WILL STOP
AND TALK TO YOU AND SAY HELLO I
LOVE THAT ABOUT OUR TOWN AND
(20:37):
KENTUCKY.
>> I'M ALWAYS WELCOMING SOMEBODY
TO TOWN.
AND I SAY WHERE ARE YOU FROM?
AND MY FRIENDS WHY DO YOU TALK
TO EVERYBODY?
IT'S IMPORTANT TO MAKE THEM FEEL
WELCOME.
AND WE HAPPEN TO SEE IT WE TOOK
A DAY STRIP WE COME TO MAYSVILLE
AND THEY KEEP COMING BACK
BECAUSE IT IS A WELCOMING TOWN
AND A BEAUTIFUL TOWN.
(20:59):
INDEED, IT IS.
MAYSVILLE IS PREPARING FOR THE
FESTIVAL AND CONCERT SEASON
WHICH KICKS OFF IN EARLY JUNE
AND CONTINUES THROUGHOUT THE
SUMMER.
FOR 20 YEARS, THE NATIONAL
ORGANIZATION STORY CORPS HAS
BEEN RECORDING EXPERIENCES FROM
ALL WALKS OF LIFE.
(21:20):
ITS TOUR IS MAKING AROUND THE
U.S. STOPPING IN CITIES TO ADD
TO ITS COLLECTION OF STORIES.
THE LATEST STOP (21:27):
LEXINGTON.
TIMED TO HELP THE CITY CELEBRATE
ITS 250TH BIRTHDAY.
>> STORY CORPS IS A NATIONAL
NONPROFIT DEDICATED TO
RECORDING, PRESERVING AND
SHARING THE STORIES OF PEOPLE
FROM ALL BACKGROUNDS AND
BELIEFS.
THEY ARE COMMITTED TO THE IDEA
THAT EVERYONE HAS AN IMPORTANT
(21:48):
STORY TO TELL.
AND THAT EVERYONE'S STORY
MATTERS.
THEIR MISSION (21:52):
TO HELP US
BELIEVE IN EACH OTHER BY
ILLUMINATING THE HUMANITY AND
POSSIBILITY IN US ALL ONE STORY
AT A TIME.
>> I USUALLY WHAT COMES UP IS
THINGS OF FAMILY, COMMUNITY,
MEANINGFUL RELATIONSHIPS, WORK
THAT YOU DO AND HOW YOU WERE
DRAWN TO IT.
CAREER.
WORK-LIFE BALANCE.
(22:12):
PEOPLE TALK ABOUT THE CITY THEY
ARE IN.
WE'VE HEARD THIS IS THE 250TH
ANNIVERSARY OF THE CITY OF
LEXINGTON AND OUR HOPE IS TO GET
PEOPLE TO TALK ABOUT THEIR CITY.
WHAT DO WAY WANT LEXINGTON TO
LOOK LIKE IN THE FUTURE.
THAT MIGHT BE A THEME THAT I'M
EXCITED TO SEE COME OUT.
>> EVERY MONTH OF OUR 250 LATINX
(22:34):
BIRTHDAY HAS A THEME.
AND THE THEME FOR APRIL IS MUSIC
AND THE WRITTEN WORD.
AND THE WRITTEN WORD LEADS TO
THE SPOKEN WORD.
SO THE CELEBRATION OF SHARING
STORIES THROUGH VARIOUS ART
FORMS FITS IN WELL WITH STORY
CORPS.
RECORDING THE WORDS AND STORIES
OF OUR COMMUNITY MEMBERS.
(22:55):
>> WE JUST SAT DOWN AT A TABLE
IN THE TRAILER WITH TWO
MICROPHONES AND HAD AN OPEN
CONVO.
HE HAD QUESTIONS IN THE
BEGINNING TO GET TO ME ME BUT IT
TRANSFORMED INTO THIS SHARED
EXPERIENCE WE GOT TO LIKE GET TO
KNOW EACH OTHER IN A WAY WHICH
(23:15):
IS REALLY COOL.
SOMEBODY WILL BRING SOMEBODY
INTO PEOPLE THEY KNOW BUT IT WAS
COOL TO GET TO KNOW SOMEBODY
THAT I DIDN'T KNOW.
AND FIND SHARED EXPERIENCES IN
THAT.
>> I'VE TALKED A LOT ABOUT MY
EXPERIENCES AS A QUEER PERSON
AND A TRANS PERSON AND WHAT IT
WAS LIKE GROWING UP AND HOW MY
(23:36):
IDENTITIES HELPED FUEL THE WORK
THAT I GET TO DO NOW.
>> WE HAVE OVER 380,000
RECORDINGS FROM ALMOST 700,000
PEOPLE.
ALL 50 STATES OVER THE LAST 22
YEARS WE ARE THE LARGEST
COLLECTION OF HUMAN VOICES EVER
GATHERED.
AND I HEAR I DON'T HAVE A GOOD
STORY I DON'T HAVE ANYTHING TO
SAY.
I WANT TO CHALLENGE THAT AND
(23:57):
THINK OF ANY DISTINCT
RELATIONSHIP, EVENT IN YOUR LIFE
THAT SHAPED YOU INTO WHO YOU
ARE.
EVERYONE HAS ONE OF THOSE AND I
THINK IT'S REALLY IMPORTANT TO
GET THAT OUT.
NOT JUST FOR YOURSELF BUT FOR A
WIDER AUDIENCE AND PEOPLE IN
YOUR FAMILY.
IT'S SUPER IMPORTANT AND SERVE
AS A RECORD WHO ARE WE AS A
(24:17):
COUNTRY WHAT ARE ISSUES
HAPPENING IN THE COMMUNITY.
>> I THINK ESPECIALLY FOR
MARGINALIZED COMMUNITIES IT'S
BECOMING MORE AND MORE IMPORTANT
TO SHARE THOSE EXPERIENCES WITH
PEOPLE.
BECAUSE THOSE VOICES ARE OFTEN
SILENCED AND ALSO BECAUSE THERE
MIGHT BE YOUNG PEOPLE WHO ARE
FIGURING OUT THEIR IDENTITY OUT
(24:37):
IN THE WORLD WHO MIGHT HEAR THAT
STORY OR MIGHT SEE THAT STORY
AND REALIZE LIKE I'M NOT THE
ONLY PERSON THAT FEELS THIS WAY.
>> PEOPLE EVERYWHERE ARE
INTERESTING.
THE QUALITY OF THE STORY DOESN'T
MATTER WHERE YOU ARE FROM AND
THE MOBILE TOUR EXEMPT ANIES
THAT.
WE FIND YOU INTERESTING AND WANT
TO HEAR WHAT YOU HAVE TO SAY SO

PLEASE TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THE
OPPORTUNITY.

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.
