    Meet The Boss, Spicy Mocha and 7 Other Kentucky Pumpkins (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    As we get into October, who's up for a little "Halloween science"? Sure, it's somewhat of an oxymoron, but hear me out. This summer and fall, the Rudolph Lab at the University of Kentucky Horticulture Research Farm grew nine different varieties of jack-o'-lanterns to compare their development and growth. I know what you might be thinking..."Growing jack-o'-lanterns? Haven't we skipped a step?" From a layperson's point of view, I get it. But we're talking about pumpkins that are specifically grow

    Badgers in Kentucky? One Was Documented Right Here in Daviess County (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    When I visit the Owensboro Museum of Science & History and check out the taxidermy mounts representing creatures found in our region, the presence of a badger always mystifies me. I've lived here all my life and have never seen—or even heard mention of—a badger in this area. Well, apparently that badger knows something I don't. According to the Kentucky Department of Fish & Wildlife Resources, recent records of American badgers in Daviess and Warren counties may indicate the species is expanding

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    Four years ago, when we reported that Orlando Bloom’s crime drama Red Right Hand was filming in Campbellsburg, New Castle and elsewhere in Kentucky, I had no idea how often I’d be writing about movie crews in the Commonwealth. Since then, Ethan Hawke has filmed his Flannery O’Connor biopic Wildcat here, Bill Skarsgård has starred in the Kentucky-shot true crime thriller Dead Man’s Wire, and multiple Christmas movies have used Kentucky as a backdrop. The Kentucky Entertainment Incentive helps att

    Harlem Globetrotters Return to the Owensboro Sportscenter (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    Want to know what earworm has been resounding through my brain for the better part of the last hour? If you read the headline, then I think it's safe to say you know the answer. Yes, it's "Sweet Georgia Brown." And, naturally, I’ve been whistling it the entire time. I dare anyone to write about a Harlem Globetrotters appearance in their hometown and not have that pervasive melody occupying space between their ears. That’s right, the Harlem Globetrotters are returning to the Owensboro Sportscente

    Kentucky’s Measles Count Climbs to 67, More Than Double Last Month's Total (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Neutral tone · English

    Read excerpt

    When I wrote about Kentucky’s growing measles outbreak last month, the state had reported 29 cases across seven counties. By Friday morning, that statewide count had climbed to 67, according to the Kentucky Cabinet for Health and Family Services. The number requires a little context. Four cases in Jessamine County were reported earlier this year and are not connected to the current outbreak. That puts the current outbreak total at 63 cases. The state’s dashboard, updated at 9 a.m. Friday, showed
