“Nearly all of our unvaccinated patients who have COVID ask us if they can get the vaccine before going on a ventilator.

Band uniforms on display

A collection of marching band uniforms from throughout the county and through the years is on display at Sip & Spin in Greenville. The vast collec- tion, belonging to local historian Barry Duvall, will be on display until Sept. 4. Duvall has been collecting the uniforms since the time when county high schools were closing and consolidating into Muhlenberg North and South high schools. Some date back to the 1950s, he said. The uniforms are there to promote the Muhlenberg County High School Band’s upcoming march- ing band season, which will kick off this coming Saturday, Aug. 28 with the annual Ice Cream Supper. The band will perform at 6 and 8 p.m. in Mustang Stadium at Muhlenberg County High School.

Walk By Faith Ministry, an entity of the Church of God of Prophecy located on Highway 431 South in Central City, provided shoes for 23 kids from Muhlenberg and Ohio counties on Aug. 8. This was the fourth year of this project, made possible by community donations and the staff at Hibbett Sports. Children were allowed to go to Hibbett’s and pick a pair of new shoes for the school year. Walk By Faith also helps provide shoes for chil- dren at other times in the year as well, in case of a special need, such as a house fires. Walk By Faith Ministry is nonprofit, donations are tax exempt, and accepted and appreciated year round. Help provide shoes for children in our community by mailing donations to: Walk By Faith/COGOP, P.O. Box 126, Central City, KY 42330. A tax ex- empt receipt will be mailed.
