📰 In the news
Statewide support for new parents: Kentucky’s HANDS program offers free home visits for expectant families and those with infants under 90 days, with screenings and guidance on safe sleep, choking, and SIDS, including Warren County — learn how it helps families.
Community support for new beginnings: Goodwill Kentucky, UnitedHealthcare, Kentucky Chamber, and Fifth Third will host Fair Chance Opportunity Fair Monday at WKU Knicely Conference Center, featuring an expungement clinic and resources for Bowling Green residents — find out when and where.
Safety-focused playground improvements: Construction is underway at Roland Bland Park to replace the preschool playground with rope climbs, swings and a seesaw, a $60,000 upgrade keeping it closed about two to three weeks — see timeline, cost and features.
Nothing prepares you for a pet emergency: I learned that the hard way after charging $10k to a credit card for life-saving surgery on my cat, Miss Stache. As soon as we got home, I signed up for Spot. It’s super affordable – and reimburses up to 90% of the bill.
Compare rates for free: The national average for car insurance is around $175/month. Paying more than that? Same, so I did some shopping around and ended up cutting my premium in half. If you haven’t checked in a while, you’re probably overpaying too — here’s the comparison tool I used.
Highlights this week:

🏆 Gold and silver are heating up
Together with our sponsor American Hartford Gold
Gold just posted its strongest run in decades… and the momentum is carrying into 2026. Silver has become one of the most talked-about assets as investors look for ways to stay ahead of market volatility.
While many are still sitting on the sidelines, others are quietly repositioning.
If you’re wondering whether you’re missing something, AHG has a free guide explaining what’s driving the renewed interest… and how investors are approaching precious metals right now.
It’s free and worth reading before the next move.
