<v Speaker 1>And now once again we turn to the Kentucky Standard

2

<v Speaker 1>for news and Bardstown and Nelson County. Your reader today

00:00:08.080 --> 00:00:11.880
<v Speaker 1>is Eric Everet And as a reminder, RADIOI is a

<v Speaker 1>other disabilities to make it difficult to reprinted material. And

6
00:00:19.839 --> 00:00:24.039
<v Speaker 1>we will begin with the edition dated May thirteenth, twenty

7
00:00:24.079 --> 00:00:30.120
<v Speaker 1>twenty six and in our top story today, the second

8
00:00:30.160 --> 00:00:36.439
<v Speaker 1>Bardstown Bourbon Company employee files discrimination suit. A second former

9
00:00:36.479 --> 00:00:41.280
<v Speaker 1>Bardstown Bourbon Company employee is filed a lawsuit alleging discrimination.

10
00:00:42.479 --> 00:00:46.640
<v Speaker 1>On May sixth Sandra Stone filed a lawsuit against the

11
00:00:46.679 --> 00:00:52.479
<v Speaker 1>local distiller, alleging age and gender discrimination. Stone state in

12
00:00:52.520 --> 00:00:56.039
<v Speaker 1>her suit she was passed over for a bottling supervisor

13
00:00:56.119 --> 00:00:59.799
<v Speaker 1>role for a younger male colleague, whose Stone claims to

14
00:01:00.119 --> 00:01:04.040
<v Speaker 1>not seek out the position. Stone's lawsuit is the second

15
00:01:04.079 --> 00:01:08.719
<v Speaker 1>filed against the company this year. In February, former vice

16
00:01:08.760 --> 00:01:13.920
<v Speaker 1>president of human Resources Sylvia Sanders sued the Barnestown Burbed

17
00:01:14.000 --> 00:01:20.760
<v Speaker 1>Company alleging a pattern of discrimination against female employees. Sanders'

18
00:01:20.799 --> 00:01:26.319
<v Speaker 1>suit is currently ongoing, with Bardstown Burban Company disputing the

19
00:01:26.359 --> 00:01:31.079
<v Speaker 1>claims and asking for the case to be dismissed. Additionally,

20
00:01:31.120 --> 00:01:35.079
<v Speaker 1>the distiller filed a counter suit against Sanders for information

21
00:01:35.280 --> 00:01:40.159
<v Speaker 1>initially contained within the original filing of her lawsuit. In

22
00:01:40.319 --> 00:01:44.400
<v Speaker 1>Stone's lawsuit, she said it was sanders suit that alerted

23
00:01:44.439 --> 00:01:48.959
<v Speaker 1>her to the company's alleged pattern of discrimination. Stone worked

24
00:01:48.959 --> 00:01:54.680
<v Speaker 1>for Bardstown Burbed Company from May twenty seventeen to December

25
00:01:55.000 --> 00:01:59.200
<v Speaker 1>twenty twenty two, where she was a swing ship distillery supervisor.

26
00:02:00.040 --> 00:02:03.400
<v Speaker 1>In her lawsuit, Stone claims she was denied of promotion

27
00:02:03.560 --> 00:02:07.599
<v Speaker 1>as a bottling manager. She states after hearing of her

28
00:02:07.680 --> 00:02:13.000
<v Speaker 1>young male colleagues appointment, she was given inconsistent explanations from leadership.

29
00:02:13.879 --> 00:02:17.360
<v Speaker 1>Prior to her time with the Bardstown Bourbon Company, Stone

30
00:02:17.360 --> 00:02:21.400
<v Speaker 1>worked at Barton for nearly six years as a bottling supervisor.

31
00:02:22.439 --> 00:02:25.199
<v Speaker 1>Stone alleges she was told she could move to the

32
00:02:25.199 --> 00:02:29.240
<v Speaker 1>bottling but only as a bottling clerk. This would have

33
00:02:29.319 --> 00:02:34.240
<v Speaker 1>required her to accept a substantial pay cut, constituting a demotion.

34
00:02:35.080 --> 00:02:39.800
<v Speaker 1>Stone resigned in December of twenty twenty two. Although plaintiff

35
00:02:39.840 --> 00:02:43.759
<v Speaker 1>believed that decision was deeply unfair, she had no reason

36
00:02:43.840 --> 00:02:47.080
<v Speaker 1>to suspect at that time that the decision was based

37
00:02:47.120 --> 00:02:52.879
<v Speaker 1>upon gender and or age. The suit reads. Additionally, BBC

38
00:02:53.240 --> 00:02:56.680
<v Speaker 1>did not disclose the few bases for the decision, the

39
00:02:56.719 --> 00:03:04.159
<v Speaker 1>criteria used, or the comprehensive information regarding other candidates. Stone

40
00:03:04.240 --> 00:03:12.280
<v Speaker 1>is seeking actual, general, compensatory and punitive damages and in

41
00:03:12.319 --> 00:03:17.759
<v Speaker 1>our next story. The Kentucky Elkfest brings out thousands. Annual

42
00:03:17.759 --> 00:03:24.039
<v Speaker 1>event raises funds for youth organizations. Saturday brought out thousands

43
00:03:24.080 --> 00:03:28.439
<v Speaker 1>for the fourth annual elk An Outdoor Festival as the

44
00:03:28.560 --> 00:03:33.759
<v Speaker 1>ky g u n COO Kentucky Gunco raised more funds

45
00:03:33.800 --> 00:03:39.039
<v Speaker 1>for youth organizations. The Kentucky elk And Outdoor Fest continues

46
00:03:39.039 --> 00:03:42.759
<v Speaker 1>to grow year after year. In twenty twenty six, the

47
00:03:42.800 --> 00:03:46.280
<v Speaker 1>festival moved to the field adjacent to the Kentucky gun Go,

48
00:03:47.120 --> 00:03:51.159
<v Speaker 1>a larger space allowing for more attendees and more vendors

49
00:03:52.120 --> 00:03:55.599
<v Speaker 1>each year. It also serves as the place that Kentucky

50
00:03:55.639 --> 00:04:01.680
<v Speaker 1>Elk tags draw winners are announced. Kentucky gun Coo Altra

51
00:04:01.879 --> 00:04:05.520
<v Speaker 1>used the event to raise fund for youth organizations across

52
00:04:05.560 --> 00:04:11.759
<v Speaker 1>the state, specifically those supporting conservation, shooting, sports, and outdoor

53
00:04:11.840 --> 00:04:16.920
<v Speaker 1>recreation initiatives. Over the last four years, the Kentucky elk

54
00:04:17.000 --> 00:04:20.480
<v Speaker 1>An Outdoor Fest has raised more than one million dollars

55
00:04:20.519 --> 00:04:26.319
<v Speaker 1>for youth organizations. Tucker Padunvech and C. J. Bowie and

56
00:04:27.160 --> 00:04:32.720
<v Speaker 1>Dylan Sparks attended Saturday's festival together. Bowie brought his cousin

57
00:04:32.879 --> 00:04:36.120
<v Speaker 1>and friend with him this year. After coming to the

58
00:04:36.160 --> 00:04:39.759
<v Speaker 1>event in the past. Sparks said he decided to tag

59
00:04:39.800 --> 00:04:42.360
<v Speaker 1>along to the event this year as it is a

60
00:04:42.360 --> 00:04:47.079
<v Speaker 1>good opportunity to meet people and see new vendors. It's

61
00:04:47.120 --> 00:04:51.720
<v Speaker 1>a pretty good networking opportunity. Padunovac added, if you want

62
00:04:51.720 --> 00:04:54.360
<v Speaker 1>to work with one of these companies, they're all here.

63
00:04:54.879 --> 00:04:58.279
<v Speaker 1>You can talk to them all. A trio from Greenup

64
00:04:58.680 --> 00:05:02.160
<v Speaker 1>said they enjoyed browsing through the vendors at this year's festival.

65
00:05:02.959 --> 00:05:05.639
<v Speaker 1>Vendors had a number of wares for those in attendance

66
00:05:05.680 --> 00:05:10.399
<v Speaker 1>to browse, for firearms and lawnmowers to clothing and safety gear.

<v Speaker 1>The festival is the home for announcing the yearly elk Tags.

71
00:05:28.959 --> 00:05:33.199
<v Speaker 1>Each year, five hundred tag winners are announced at the event.

72
00:05:34.199 --> 00:05:37.639
<v Speaker 1>Stephen and Sarah Settles have been coming to the Kentucky

73
00:05:37.680 --> 00:05:42.240
<v Speaker 1>Elk and Outdoor Festival for the last three years, loving

74
00:05:42.279 --> 00:05:47.519
<v Speaker 1>their experience each time. Sarah said this year they convinced

75
00:05:47.519 --> 00:05:51.160
<v Speaker 1>several of their friends to attend after raving about it.

76
00:05:51.480 --> 00:05:53.879
<v Speaker 1>We come every year, she said. We just love it.

77
00:05:54.879 --> 00:05:58.519
<v Speaker 1>The atmosphere is so fun, and the music obviously, and

78
00:05:58.560 --> 00:06:02.560

80
00:06:06.279 --> 00:06:09.680
<v Speaker 1>to hear the results of the Elk draw. He said

81
00:06:09.720 --> 00:06:12.560
<v Speaker 1>he's entered over the past several years and has not

82
00:06:12.680 --> 00:06:16.319
<v Speaker 1>been selected, nor has he won any of the events giveaways.

83

<v Speaker 1>Aaron and Dan Cook were another couple who attended this

84
00:06:21.160 --> 00:06:25.399

86
00:06:29.519 --> 00:06:31.920
<v Speaker 1>Dan said they have been supporters of the event over

87
00:06:31.920 --> 00:06:35.600
<v Speaker 1>the last four years, buying tickets but never being able

88
00:06:35.639 --> 00:06:39.959
<v Speaker 1>to attend. However, this year they were finally able to

89
00:06:40.000 --> 00:06:43.120
<v Speaker 1>get in on the fund and enjoy the Kentucky Elk

90
00:06:43.199 --> 00:06:47.680
<v Speaker 1>and Outdoor Fest for themselves. Aaron said they both loved

91
00:06:47.800 --> 00:06:51.920
<v Speaker 1>finally being able to attend the event, both enjoying the music,

92
00:06:52.439 --> 00:06:56.800
<v Speaker 1>the food and drinks. Dan said they got themselves of

93
00:06:56.879 --> 00:07:00.199
<v Speaker 1>fear and were planning on relaxing with the music for

174
00:14:37.000 --> 00:14:43.360
<v Speaker 1>visits Bardstown. Last weekend, Democratic US Senate candidate Amy McGrath

175
00:14:43.840 --> 00:14:47.559
<v Speaker 1>made her second campaign stop in Bardstown to speak with

176
00:14:47.600 --> 00:14:52.679
<v Speaker 1>community members. On Friday, McGrath stopped into Fresh coffee in

177
00:14:52.799 --> 00:14:57.039
<v Speaker 1>Bardstown to discuss goals if she was elected to represent

178
00:14:57.200 --> 00:15:01.759
<v Speaker 1>Kentucky in the US Senate. Mc grath is currently one

179
00:15:01.799 --> 00:15:05.279
<v Speaker 1>of seven Democrats running for the seat in next week's

180
00:15:05.320 --> 00:15:10.080
<v Speaker 1>primary election. During her visit to Mins Nelson County, mc

181
00:15:10.080 --> 00:15:16.600
<v Speaker 1>grath spoke with community members about public education, rural health care, affordability,

182
00:15:16.799 --> 00:15:20.399
<v Speaker 1>and the war in Iran. Currently. Mc grath said the

183
00:15:20.480 --> 00:15:24.240
<v Speaker 1>United States is spending one point two billion dollars a

184
00:15:24.320 --> 00:15:28.159
<v Speaker 1>day in Iran and we've already spent seventy five billion

185
00:15:28.240 --> 00:15:32.600
<v Speaker 1>dollars on the war. She said, they're spending money on

186
00:15:32.720 --> 00:15:37.000
<v Speaker 1>a war, but they're cutting funding for public education. Mc

187
00:15:37.000 --> 00:15:40.879
<v Speaker 1>grath said universal three K for all is estimated to

188
00:15:40.960 --> 00:15:45.039
<v Speaker 1>cost about thirty billion dollars. She said the country has

189
00:15:45.080 --> 00:15:49.120
<v Speaker 1>spent double that amount on war in two months, and

190
00:15:49.240 --> 00:15:53.399
<v Speaker 1>nobody said anything. She said when people say, how are

191
00:15:53.399 --> 00:15:56.600
<v Speaker 1>you going to be as a senator, I'm not going

192
00:15:56.639 --> 00:15:59.639
<v Speaker 1>to be silent. When the President cuts off stuff that

193
00:15:59.720 --> 00:16:04.120
<v Speaker 1>we the Congress already appropriated, I'm not going to be silent.

194
00:16:05.159 --> 00:16:08.799
<v Speaker 1>McGrath said the most recent cuts to Medicaid was the

195
00:16:08.919 --> 00:16:13.279
<v Speaker 1>largest cut in American history. She said this will do

196
00:16:13.440 --> 00:16:17.360
<v Speaker 1>massive damage to rural hospitals and those people they serve.

197
00:16:18.399 --> 00:16:21.559
<v Speaker 1>McGrath said it's going to make life in rural America

198
00:16:21.919 --> 00:16:26.080
<v Speaker 1>and rural Kentucky much harder. Another side effect of this,

199
00:16:26.360 --> 00:16:30.039
<v Speaker 1>according to McGrath, is that it brings in less jobs.

200
00:16:30.679 --> 00:16:33.559
<v Speaker 1>She said businesses do not want to come to places

201
00:16:33.919 --> 00:16:39.519
<v Speaker 1>that lack infrastructure. She said this doesn't mean just roads, ridges, dams,

202
00:16:40.159 --> 00:16:46.120
<v Speaker 1>but hospitals, schools, phone covering, and the internet. She said

203
00:16:46.279 --> 00:16:49.519
<v Speaker 1>when she ran six years ago, she talked a lot

204
00:16:49.559 --> 00:16:52.440
<v Speaker 1>about being a senator who is going to update the

205
00:16:52.559 --> 00:16:57.000
<v Speaker 1>grids and getting the twenty first century infrastructure. Now, she

206
00:16:57.120 --> 00:17:00.600
<v Speaker 1>says she needs to be a senator who stops the bleeding.

207
00:17:01.840 --> 00:17:04.880
<v Speaker 1>We have to claw back these cuts first and still

208
00:17:04.960 --> 00:17:09.079
<v Speaker 1>work on infrastructures. She said. I'm not somebody that believes

209
00:17:09.119 --> 00:17:13.200
<v Speaker 1>Kentucky is too far gone. I believe that if you

210
00:17:13.279 --> 00:17:16.119
<v Speaker 1>have a good candidate, then you get out there and

211
00:17:16.200 --> 00:17:20.400
<v Speaker 1>you make your case. You've got to give Kentuckians a choice.

212
00:17:22.319 --> 00:17:27.720
<v Speaker 1>Also in this week's Local Politics, Representative Guthrie endorses victory

00:19:23.920 --> 00:19:28.880
<v Speaker 1>the endorsement, Guthrie praised Victory's character and commitment to public service.

237
00:19:29.839 --> 00:19:33.960
<v Speaker 1>Character really matters, Guthrie said, I've known James for a

238
00:19:34.079 --> 00:19:36.680
<v Speaker 1>very long time and was happy when he had the

239
00:19:36.720 --> 00:19:40.359
<v Speaker 1>opportunity to bring him into my staff. I've spent my

240
00:19:40.480 --> 00:19:44.839
<v Speaker 1>career fighting for lower taxes, less government, and more opportunities

241
00:19:44.839 --> 00:19:48.720
<v Speaker 1>for Kentucky families. I know that's what James will do

242
00:19:48.799 --> 00:19:53.160
<v Speaker 1>in the Kentucky State Senate. I trust James Victory to

243
00:19:53.200 --> 00:19:57.839
<v Speaker 1>fight for Kentucky families and deliver results. Victory said he

244
00:19:57.920 --> 00:20:02.160
<v Speaker 1>was deeply honored to receive Guthrie's say. I am honored

245
00:20:02.200 --> 00:20:05.359
<v Speaker 1>to have the confidence and support someone of someone I

246
00:20:05.440 --> 00:20:10.400
<v Speaker 1>greatly admire, Victory said. Congressman Guthrie has done tremendous things,

247
00:20:10.880 --> 00:20:14.480
<v Speaker 1>not only for Kentucky's second District, for our own county,

248
00:20:15.759 --> 00:20:19.880
<v Speaker 1>Bread has shown what public service should look like, treating

249
00:20:19.920 --> 00:20:24.480
<v Speaker 1>people with respect and honesty, working hard to understand the issues,

250
00:20:24.839 --> 00:20:28.839
<v Speaker 1>and always remembering who you represent. I am grateful for

251
00:20:28.880 --> 00:20:32.960
<v Speaker 1>his endorsement, and if elected, I will strive every day

252
00:20:33.000 --> 00:20:35.599
<v Speaker 1>to live up to the example of the service he

253
00:20:35.640 --> 00:20:40.400
<v Speaker 1>has set for Kentucky. Victory is currently seeking the Republican
