Health Pavilion en Glasgow, en el día de la mañana, para ver con Administrator de Healthcare y ver cómo el Rural Health Care en la área puede transformar en la creación de la creación de Rural Health Transformation Program. El Congressman and Oz walked through the Glasgow Facility, speaking with workers and parents in the Pediatric Section, about issues concerning access to healthcare, then spoke with reporters about the potential effects of the program, which was created with the passage last year of the One Big Beautiful Bill Act,

and establishes a $50 billion Rural Health Fund. Kentucky will be allocated close to $213 million, this October, in the first year of the five-year program, money established through the passage of the Working Families Tax Cuts Law. This fund was designed to try to reshape, reimagine, and reform Rural Health Care, Oz said at a press conference. It's a dramatic seismic shift in the financing of healthcare in rural America. Guthrie, who chairs the House Committee on Energy and Commerce, which oversees healthcare, has said the program will help sustain Rural Health Care providers for years to come. Under the program, each state is responsible for how its funds are implemented, having submitted detailed grant applications that were evaluated by the Centers for Medicare

and Medicaid Services through a blind review. The money that states get will be recalculated from year to year, and Oz said the administration can claw back funds if states do not enact policies that were outlined in funding applications. If the money is not used the way it was promised to be used, we will take the money back and give it to other states who are doing what they promise they would do, Oz said, we have the right to take some of that money back. But that's actually to empower the governors of America because if you can tell your staff, your legislature, and committee of health, that if they don't do something that makes sense to the people of that state, then they're going to lose money, it's a little bit of a nudge and becomes a crowbar if it needs to get things done. Oz and other federal officials have said that program amounts to a 50% increase

in Medicaid investments in rural health care over the next five years. And the funding can promote preventative health initiatives that can ultimately reduce cost within the health care system through treatment of chronic illnesses. Critics of the bill that created the program point to the nearly $1 trillion in cuts to Medicaid while also instituting work requirements, minimum copays, and more frequent eligibility checks as impediments for financially struggling hospitals. Kentucky Governor Andy Bashir has claimed that the changes to Medicaid threatened 35 rural hospitals in the state with high Medicaid patients and negative profit margins with closure. Guthrie said the program will help introduce innovative health care solutions

at rural hospitals while working to cut waste, fraud, and abuse in government health programs. As we go through a lot of misuse of Medicaid dollars, we want to make sure they're applied directly to help rural hospitals and we're going to continue to work to do that. Guthrie said rather than new construction, Oz said that the funding is meant to shore up operations at existing rural facilities. Normally a hospital that's having problems has lost its senses. People in that town are driving by that facility. They've lost confidence that they can get high quality care there. So if you elevate the quality of the experience in the hospital, then you change that dynamic, Oz said, the money is designed to be as innovative and as creative as you can be. The next article in the Bowling Green Daily is titled,

Foundation gives more than $18 million to organizations by Jack Dobbs. Five local organizations were the recipients of more than $18 million in donations from the Robert and Mary Tensioner Foundation. A move that comes as the foundation prepares to close down at the end of September. Med Center Health, WKU's College Heights Foundation, the local core of the Salvation Army, the Boys and Girls Club of Bowling Green, and the Southern Kentucky Community and Technical College all received several million dollars of peace from the organization, money that will support various new and existing programs. Robert Tensioner wanted to make sure that the assets were used to change lives and make a difference in people's lives.

Said Joe Bill Campbell, Secretary and Legal Counsel of the Foundation's Board. Robert Tensioner was the founder of Monarch Environmental, a Bowling Green-based Waste Management business that he founded and led for two decades. The Foundation was created by Mary Tensioner in 2009 after Robert's death. Funding was dispersed last Friday, Campbell said, and funding awards were announced Thursday in a ceremony at Southern Kentucky Community and Technical College. Two million dollars was donated to the Bowling Green Corps of the Salvation Army. The funding joins a previous $700,000 donation from the Foundation, part of which will help fund the creation of a shelter to aid families experiencing homelessness. The Boys and Girls Club was the recipient of $4.2 million from the Foundation.

Campbell said the money will be used to support the club's outreach program, which takes Boys and Girls Club services into various schools around Bowling Green and Warren County. Through the donation, the program will be named after the Tensioners. Another $4.2 million was donated to WKU's College Heights Foundation, part of which will be used to endow two new golf scholarships, one for men and one for women. Existing scholarships will also be funded through this donation. They include those awarded to Southern Kentucky Community and Technical College students who decide to pursue a four-year degree at Western, along with graduates of local high schools. Scholarships at Southern Kentucky Community and Technical College also saw a big boost in funding through a similar-sized gift from the Foundation.

These scholarships will help those looking to get a technical degree and those who have an intention to go to Western Kentucky University after leaving Southern Kentucky Community and Technical College. Med Center Health Scardian Angel Program, which provides medical and dental care assistance to children in need, will carry the Tenters' names after receiving $4.2 million. Campbell said after the ceremony that these organizations were chosen because of the wide-scale impacts they have on those who are most in need. As for why the Foundation is closing down, he said age was the main factor as the members of the board range in age from their late 60s to early 80s. There was concern by our board members that 10 or 15 years from now,

there would be a totally new board that did not know the tensioners and did not understand what they wanted done, he said. The next article in the Bowling Green Daily is headlined Local program brings arts to students across state by West Sweetac. Like many things these days, exposure to the arts can now be delivered. The Ramsey Theatre Company, based at the Southern Kentucky Performing Arts Center in Bowling Green, is now in its second year of bringing academically linked plays to students in areas where exposure to arts is limited. Last year, the ACTURES program was able to provide an arts experience for over 4,000 students and teachers across the state, many in rural areas. The Ramsey Theatre Company recognized there is a gap in places

where students can gain access to the arts, said ACTURES program director Dylan Gadolphin. The way it works is schools that are interested in the program, find an available date, provide a performance space, and determine who to invite to the performance or performances. Ramsey Theatre Company provides the professional actors and the play, with two being offered this year. Both were written by local educators, so the story encompasses educational standards. Gadolphin said, the plays being offered are the revolutionary choice, freedom or the crown, about the choice the colonists faced when declaring independence 250 years ago, and vexing verses, exploring the works of Poe, about the fame-drieder Edgar Allan Poe.

While there is a cost for the performances, sponsorships and grants can offset some of that, with Logan Illuminum serving as the main sponsor. While the program is primarily geared for schools, it's also suitable for community venues like libraries. Gadolphin said, more information about the ACTURES program is available at www.the.sql. www.sql.com.com. www.sql.com.com The next article in the September 6th Bowling Green Daily is headline, police news. Bowling Green Man found dead, authorities seek information. A Bowling Green Man was found dead Wednesday afternoon in Drake's Creek. The Warren County Sheriff's Office identified the man Thursday as Ryan Quinn 29.

According to the Warren County Sheriff's Office, the agency received a report at 1.21pm Wednesday, about a deceased person in the creek near Reginald Kirby Bridge in the 1200 block of Old Scottsville Road. In a social media post, Warren County Sheriff's Office on Thursday asked for anyone who saw Quinn or anyone else near the Reginald Kirby Bridge on or about August 27 to September 2, or who was with Quinn during that time to contact the Sheriff's Office. Next is the 3-day weather forecast. Sunday, high of 89, low of 72 and sunny. Monday, high of 90, low of 70 and sunny. Tuesday, high of 92, low of 70 and sunny. Hives will drop to the low 90s as we get a slight break from the heat.

The next article in the Bowling Green Daily is the Dear Abby Column by Jean Phillips. It is titled Renewed Connection Won't Take a Hint. Dear Abby, two years ago I ran into an old friend I hadn't seen in more than 25 years. We went to dinner the following week, the dinner lasted three hours. Abby, she talked the entire time. It was a mix of grandiose stories, complaints about her health, complaints about her relationships, and an attempt to make me feel guilty for not contacting her sooner. I tried to excuse it, telling myself it's been decades, of course she has a lot to say. Every subsequent interaction followed the same pattern. With an expectation of far more of my time and energy than I was comfortable giving. At one point she even sprinkled in a little condescension about my political leaning.

I started feeling anxious before seeing her and drained afterward. Over a year ago I decided to take a step back. I told her I'd reach out when I felt up to socializing again and I haven't contacted her since. Despite that, she's continued to call and text. I don't want to hurt her feelings but I have no interest in the friendship. At the same time continuing to ignore her feels unkind. I noted this will hurt her but what's the most honest and least painful way to tell her I don't want further contact. Sign, ghosting her isn't working. Dear ghosting, unless you want to fully commit to the ghosting strategy by blocking this woman's number, stop avoiding her calls and texts. Decline her next invitation by telling her you are trying to focus on other parts of your life right now.

That's the truth. If she persist, tell her getting together isn't feasible right now and you prefer that she let you initiate contact in the future. If she still doesn't get the message, blocking her is the only option. We must end this article here due to time constraints. This concludes excerpts from recent editions of the Bowling Green Daily.
