unemployment rates and unemployment levels are not seasonally adjusted because
14:07
of small sample sizes. Employment statistics undergo sharp fluctuations due
14:12
to seasonal events, which is weather changes, harvests, the holidays,
14:16
and school openings and closing. Seasonal adjustments eliminate these influences
14:20
and make it easier to observe statistical trends. The comparable
14:24
unadjusted unemployment rate for this state was four point four
14:27
percent for April twenty twenty five and three point nine
14:31
percent for the nation in that release. Kentucky's statewide unemployment
14:35
rate and employment levels are adjusted to observe statistical trends
14:39
by removing seasonal influences such as weather changes, harvest, holidays,
14:44
and school openings and closing. For more information regarding seasonal fluctuation,
14:49
visit the US Bureau of Labor Statistics. Unemployment statistics are
14:54
based on estimates and are compiled to measure trends rather
14:58
than actually to count people. Civilian labor force statistics include
15:03
non military workers and unemployed Kentuckians who are actively seeking work.
15:08
They do not include unemployed Kentuckians who have not looked
15:11
for employment within the past four weeks. The data should
15:14
only be compared to the same months in previous years.

16:44
encourages voters to follow simple steps and minimize injuries and accidents.
16:49
The goal is always zero accidents, which cannot happen without
16:52
everyone taking the proper safety precaution tips. When heading out
16:56
on the water, wear a life jacket. Kentucky laws fures
17:00
each occupant of a boat to have ready access to
17:03
a US coast guard to prove life jacket that properly
17:05
fits each person. Children younger than twelve must at all
17:09
times wear a life jacket that fits them while in
17:11
the open portion of a boat that is underway. Life
17:15
jacket loner stations available in a growing number of locations
17:18
across the state allow boating parties to borrow life jackets
17:22
temporarily make wearing your life jacket an engine kill switch
17:26
a habit for you and your passengers. Vote sober every year.
17:31
Alcohol is the leading cause of injuries and accidents on
17:34
Kentucky waterways. Oftentimes this leads to individuals leading the lake
17:38
and driving under the influence d UI, putting everyone on
17:42
the roadways in danger. Operating a vehicle or boat under
17:46
the influence DUI is extremely dangerous, impair's judgment and reaction time,
17:52
and is illegal. Take a safe boating course. Familiarize yourself
17:56
with Kentucky boating laws, regulations, and navigation before heading out
18:01
with an easy online voter education class. Stay weather aware,
18:05
check the weather forecast, and be prepared for changing conditions.
18:09
Sudden storms or rough waters can pose significant dangers. Always
18:13
have a reliable means of communication on board to receive
18:16
weather updates. File a float plan. Let someone know of
18:20
your boating plants before you go out on the water.
18:22
File a float plane with a friend or family member
18:25
detailing near a penerary. In the event of an emergency,
18:28
this information can be crucial for rescuers. Some reservoirs may
18:33
still be effected by high water following flooding rains earlier
18:37
this spring, so boaters are advised to check the status
18:40
of boat ramps before leaving home. Conditions may vary between
18:44
water bodies, with some ramps remaining closed or partially submerged.
18:48
For emergencies, call nine one one for assistance. While on

Coming Home to Willisburg May twenty eight, twenty twenty five
20:05
story and photos by Jane Reclining. The annual Willisburg Memorial
20:11
Day Homecoming festival was not held in twenty twenty four,
20:15
but returned with all the traditional attractions on Saturday, May
20:18
twenty fourth. The celebration was graced with beautiful weather, happy
20:23
festival goers, and a few minor setbacks. A couple of
20:26
the food trucks that had confirmed did not make it
20:29
to the event, and an arcade game trailer dropped out
20:32
at the last minute, but the remainder of the festival
20:35
continued as planned, with the memorial service in Marion County,
20:38
honor guard at the Cemetery, the Little Miss and Mister competition,
20:42
the vendor boosts vans, the auctions, a classic car cruis in,
20:46
and of course, the parade. Graand marshall for the parade
20:50
was Freddy Carey. A few changes in the twenty twenty
20:53
five event included two age divisions for the Little Miss
20:56
and Mister, which proved not to be needed. The city
20:59
Council decides earlier this spring to divide the competition into
21:02
two groups, birth to three years and four to six years.
21:06
All participants received the gifts back from the Council and
21:09
winners were crowned, given a sash, a trophy, and a
21:12
larger bag of goodies. There were six participants in the
21:15
Burst of three age group, but none in the four
21:18
to six year old division. This year's event also included
21:23
a People's Choice Award for the cruise end. Festival goers
21:26
could vote for their favorite vehicle and a trophy was
21:29
awarded at the end of the event. Little Miss and

May twenty five quote. One day you will tell your
21:54
story of how you overcome what you are going through now,
21:58
and it will become someone's survival Guy end of quote
22:01
by Brene Brown. The big storm that took out Somerset
22:04
in London a couple of weeks ago was frightening for
22:07
us personally. Our daughter Brenda lives in Somerset with her husband, Chris,
22:11
and we're in the middle of it. Think that the
22:13
board they are okay, that the cards were pounded to
22:16
death by hail. Fortunately they have insurance for that situation.
22:20
That many others lost everything, including their lives. Another daughter,
22:24
Belle knew a fellow she went to school with. He
22:27
had just graduated from college prior to the tornadoes touching down.
22:31
His grandmother saw the graduation. Two days later, her home
22:35
was destroyed while she was in it. Her life ended
22:38
in that horrific event. The young man went from one
22:41
of the happiest days of his life to the statist
22:43
at what must have seen like the slip of the switch.
22:47
We were watching the weather develop on television that night.
22:50
I decided that I would go to bed when it
22:51
became clear that the worst of the squall was passing
22:54
us by. Cindy was still like watching the progress of
22:57
the storm. I told her, quote, don't wake me if
23:00
it looks like the tornadoes are going to get me.
23:02
I always wanted to die in my sleep, and it quote.
23:05
It seemed pretty funny at the time, but not so
23:07
much later. I slept late. The next morning. When I
23:10
woke I found Cindy on the phone talking with Brenda,
23:13
who was shell shocked as she had been up all
23:15
night due to the storms by herself. Chris is a
23:18
home healthcare worker for disabled people. He works at the
23:21
residential house taking care of the individuals who lived there.
23:25
He made it there okay, but later the storm took
23:27
out some houses a few blocks over. Chris ended up
23:30
staying there for thirty six hours until his relief could
23:33
make it end. Due to the mess Frenda had been
23:36
texting Cindy while everything was going on that it wasn't
23:39
until the next morning that she saw this big stream
23:41
of messages for her on the phone. Let me tell
23:44
you it was scary hearing about it firsthand. I'm sure
23:47
you've all seen the destruction on television in the internet,
23:50
that it's something to hear from someone that actually witnessed
23:53
the devastation and law. I've been through a few storms,
23:57
but nothing like what those folks went through. Someone asked
24:00
me if I thought God was trying to tell us
24:02
something with all these storms. I don't think so. I
24:06
believe that God created earth and heaven. This is not heaven.
24:09
We are subject to the wombs of nature down here.
24:12
It can be good and it can be bad. Our
24:14
lives are fragile. What I try to remember is that
24:17
no matter how good things are in the moment, my
24:20
life can turn on a dime. I'm not promised the
24:22
future here. My health, my possessions, my family, and even
24:26
my life will one day leave this world. So I'm
24:29
trying real hard to always remember that fact. The only
24:33
thing that I truly possess is my eternal soul. I
24:36
need to do a better job of trying to keep
24:38
it clean. I need to help those that need help,
24:40
have understanding for those who have wronged me, and ask
24:43
for mercy from those I have armed. I need to
24:47
be less judgmental as others, so I can hope God
24:50
will also judge me for all my sins the same way.
