Speaker 1: Increase in Psychosporasis in Kentucky by Jenna George July sence,
0:31
Speaker 1: twenty twenty six. The Kentucky Department for Public Health or
0:35
Speaker 1: KDPH has announced that Kentucky is among at least seventeen
0:40
Speaker 1: states seen in increase in cases of cyclosporassis. Psyclosporassis occurs
0:47
Speaker 1: every year in Kentucky. Case counts typically rise during the
0:51
Speaker 1: spring and summer months. However, this increase is much larger
0:55
Speaker 1: than expected. Psychosporiassis is an intestinal disease illness caused by
1:01
Speaker 1: the microscopic parasite cyclospora. People can become infected by ingesting
1:06
Speaker 1: food or water that has been contaminated with cyclospora. Symptoms
1:11
Speaker 1: may begin two days to two weeks following exposure exposure
1:16
Speaker 1: and may increase frequent watery diarrhea, nausea, vomiting, fever, and
1:21
Speaker 1: stomach cromps.
1:23
Speaker 2: Direct person to person transmission.
1:25
Speaker 1: Of cyclospora is unlikely due to the.
1:28
Speaker 2: Life cycle of the parasite.
1:30
Speaker 1: Most healthy people will recover without treatment, although their illness
1:35
Speaker 1: may last for several weeks. While a specific food itemer's
1:39
Speaker 1: supplier has not yet been identified as the source of
1:42
Speaker 1: the outbreak, previous outbreaks have been linked to the consumption
1:46
Speaker 1: of fresh produce such as raspberries, snowpeas, basal, cilantro, and
1:52
Speaker 1: bagged salad mixes. To help prevent exposure to cyclospora, the
1:57
Speaker 1: following safefood handling practices are recon meant it wash your
2:01
Speaker 1: hands with soap and water before and after food preparations.
2:06
Speaker 1: Wash all produced thoroughly, Buy whole heads of beefy greaves
2:10
Speaker 1: and discard the outer leaves rather than buying bagged varieties.
2:15
Speaker 1: Wash all food prep surfaces and utensils with soap and
2:19
Speaker 1: hot water after use. Those at higher risk for serious illnesses,
2:23
Speaker 1: such as children or older adults, should also cook produce
2:27
Speaker 1: to an internal temperature of at least one hundred and
2:30
Speaker 1: fifty eight degrees. More information can be found at http

5:22
Speaker 2: Fellows are also expected to develop.
5:25
Speaker 1: Implement, an evaluate a project at their home institution. I
5:30
Speaker 1: love math, and I love talking about math, and don't
5:33
Speaker 1: want to help others do it too, or at least
5:35
Speaker 1: not to be afraid of it.
5:36
Speaker 2: Reads that my.
5:37
Speaker 1: Belief is that every person is capable of being a
5:40
Speaker 1: mathematician in their own way, and I look forward to.
5:43
Speaker 2: Developing a project of my own.
5:45
Speaker 1: Through access that supports that view. Colonel Sanders' memorabilia goes
5:52

Speaker 1: House in Shelbyville. Many of the artifacts originate from Blackwood Hall,
6:16
Speaker 1: where the couple lived for approximately twenty five years. Franchise
6:20
Speaker 1: owners from around the world traveled to Shelbyville to learn
6:23
Speaker 1: directly from Sanders, often gathering at Blackwood Hall to study
6:28
Speaker 1: the cooking techniques, hospitality standards, and business practices that help
6:32
Speaker 1: to build one of the world's most recognizable restaurant brands.
6:37
Speaker 1: The artificts have been preserved by the Subtle family, who
6:40
Speaker 1: purchased both Blackwood Hall and the Claudia Sanders dinner House
6:44
Speaker 1: directly from Harlan and Claudia Sanders in nineteen seventy four.
6:49
Speaker 1: That uninterrupted chain of ownership makes the collection exceptionally rare
6:54
Speaker 1: and provides a level of prominent seldom available in the
6:58
Speaker 1: memorabilia market.
6:59
Speaker 2: According to the.
7:00
Speaker 1: Auction promoters, the collection documents Standers's personal life, business career,
7:05
Speaker 1: and public legacy, offering insight into both the man and

Speaker 1: the cultural phenomenon he became. The collection is expected to
7:14
Speaker 1: attract interest from museums, private collectors, franchise operators, food historians,
7:20
Speaker 1: and Americana enthusiasts. These are not items assembled by a collector,
7:26
Speaker 1: said Bill Menish, auctioneer for the sale. They are artifacts
7:30
Speaker 1: preserved by the family who purchased the colonel's home and
7:33
Speaker 1: business directly from Colonel and Claudia Sanders more than fifty
7:37
Speaker 1: years ago. Together, they tell a story few people have
7:41
Speaker 1: ever had the opportunity to see. A public preview of
7:45
Speaker 1: the collection will be July twenty seventh, allowing attendees to
7:49
Speaker 1: view the items before the auction begins at six pm

8:03
Speaker 1: with new school accountability system by the Legislative Research Commission.
8:08
Speaker 1: July fifteenth, twenty twenty six, Kentucky education officials are moving
8:12
Speaker 1: forward with a new school accountability system that places greater
8:16
Speaker 1: emphasis on individual student growth, reduced testing, and a locally
8:21
Speaker 1: developed performance measures. Education Commissioner Robbie Fletcher outlined implementation of
8:27
Speaker 1: House Build two fifty seven during Wednesday's meeting of the
8:30
Speaker 1: Education Assessment and Accountability Review Subcommittee. The legislation passed during
8:36
Speaker 1: the twenty twenty six General Assembly shifts the state's accountability
8:40
Speaker 1: model to focus on student growth, reduces state testing, prioritizes attendance,
8:46
Speaker 1: and allows school districts to adopt locally defined quality indicators.
8:51
Speaker 1: Ledger said districts must ensure their local accountability measures aligned
8:55
Speaker 1: with Kentucky academic standards while providing students opportunity to demonstrate
9:01
Speaker 1: learning beyond standardized test.
9:04
Speaker 2: We want students.
9:05
Speaker 1: To have the opportunity to apply real world skills, real
9:09
Speaker 1: world content, Fledger said. We have so many students that
9:12
Speaker 1: are getting opportunities for internships, for apprenticeships. How can we
9:16
Speaker 1: make that a bigger part of the accountability model. If
9:19
Speaker 1: that's something that your local community is asking for. He
9:23
Speaker 1: set skills such as communications, collaboration, and problem solving will
9:28
Speaker 1: play a larger role in the new system, I believe
9:31
Speaker 1: that reading, mathematics are test scores are important, Fledger said,
9:35
Speaker 1: but our students are much more than a test score,
9:38
Speaker 1: and they need to have the opportunity to demonstrate learning
9:41
Speaker 1: in other ways. Under the revised assessment system, the state
9:46
Speaker 1: is eliminated on demand writing and editing assessment while requiring
9:51
Speaker 1: districts to adopt local writing policies. The accountability model will
9:56
Speaker 1: also replace school climate and safety indicators with measures focused
10:00
Speaker 1: on individual student growth in reading and mathematics, along with
10:04
Speaker 1: chronic absenteeism. Senator Matthew Deanon, a Republican from Elizabethtown, ast
10:10
Speaker 1: how districts would address subjects such as Civics, history, and
10:14
Speaker 1: financial literacy through local accountability measures. Fletcher said districts have
10:19
Speaker 1: flexibility to determine local indicators as long as they meet
10:22
Speaker 1: state academic standards and graduation requirements. Representatives ti meet Truidts
10:28
Speaker 1: or Republican from a Key asked whether districts have already
10:31
Speaker 1: begun using similar approaches. Fletcher said nearly one hundred sixty
10:36
Speaker 1: of Kentucky's one hundred seventy one school districts have completed
10:40
Speaker 1: a portrait of a learner framework that identifies community supported competencies,
10:45
Speaker 1: including communication, collaboration, and problem solving. He added that ninety
10:51
Speaker 1: two percent of respondents in an early statewide survey supported
10:55
Speaker 1: measuring individual student growth rather than comparing groups of students.
11:00
Speaker 1: Fledgers of lawmakers, educators, and community members helped shape the
11:04
Speaker 1: new accountability system through Kentucky Unitedly Learned meetings and nine public.
11:09
Speaker 2: Town hall sessions.
11:11
Speaker 1: The new accountability model will take effect during the upcoming
11:14
Speaker 1: school year. Results from the testing completed this year will
11:18
Speaker 1: continue to be reported under the previous system, while future
11:21
Speaker 1: reports will incorporate student growth and chronic accenteeism measures. Fledgers
11:26
Speaker 1: of the next steps include first readings of administrative regulations
11:30
Speaker 1: in July and August, second readings in September and October,
11:34
Speaker 1: followed by a public comment period in November and December.
