Chip Ganassi Racing has no big-dog sponsor and is parking the Number 40 car for the rest of the season. Coors had been the major sponsor. Driven by Franchitti, husband of famous Kentucky sports fan Ashley Judd, the team had been in the position of qualifying each week as the team's accumulated points was less than stellar.

Horsing around the Track

They're opened. They're closed. They're open. Well, after some strategic maneuvering it appears Ellis Park will remain open this season afterall. If I were you, I'd call the track before scheduling a day at the races to be sure.

Rick Dutrow, Big Brown's Trainer, was suspended for drugging horses. I am not a Dutrow fan, and while I had big hopes for Big Brown's Triple Crown bid, I shrudder to think such a superior horse is in the hands of Dutrow. To me that's sad.

UK Basketball Museum Closed Lexington KY

Too few people; Too few Revenues

It was two years ago this very weekend, Fourth of July, that Charlie and I took our then five year old nephew to the UK Basketball museum, located in the same building as Rupp Arena.

Get Kentucky Insurance Quotes

The museum was an excellent adventure. Jacob enjoyed the interactive exhibits; the basketball mannequins, and the fabulous fifties diner exhibit (Brookings Chili). Charlie liked the pictures of "his girl" Ashley Judd, and I got a kick out of the Valerie Still displays. The museum was very well thought out; and the displays sparked nostalgia and pride.

This past October, six year old Jacob, got to witness his first LIVE University of Kentucky Basketball Game in Rupp Arena. It was a banner day, Billy Gillispie's first UK game, Pikeville College Bears was the opponent, and Uncle Charlie was doing radio broadcasts from Rupp Arena rubbing elbows with the likes of UK legends Kenny Walker and Kyle Macey. Pikeville College had a pep rally before the game, and Jacob especially enjoyed his time with the Pikeville College cheerleaders!

When we got to Rupp, Jacob wanted to go back to the museum...but our time was short. I am so glad we did get in the first visit; and even though Jacob was only five when we made that trip...he still remembers it. He smiles sheepishly and shyly...then blurts out in ten decibels, "Go Big Blue!"

I am truly sorry the museum has closed. Charlie and I have visited several times, including a private party hosted by   Anthem Blue Cross Health Insurance.  Rumors have it than some of the exhibits may be relocated. We sure hope so. To dream of the future; we must reflect on the past.

The first time I met Valerie Still, she was dribbling a basketball down the hall in our dorm, Blazer Hall. She was the only freshman in the dorm; but was allowed to live with us upperclassman, as Blazer then housed the UK Wildcat Women's Basketball team. (Hey VAL, remember me?

Skin Cancer Risks

FRANKFORT, Ky. (June 27, 2008) – Warm temperatures and extra hours of sunlight entice many to spend more time outdoors in the summer, dramatically increasing exposure to harmful rays that can cause skin damage and are linked to skin cancer.
This summer, the Cabinet for Health and Family Services (CHFS) wants all Kentuckians to protect themselves and their loved ones, particularly young children, from harmful sun exposure.

Get Kentucky Affordable Health Insurance

“The sun can be extremely damaging to a person’s health, resulting in painful burns, sun damage and in some cases, skin cancer,” said William Hacker, M.D., commissioner of the Kentucky Department for Public Health (DPH), part of CHFS. “It’s extremely important to protect yourself. Even more important is for parents to properly supervise their children and prevent them from experiencing painful and sometimes life-threatening burns.”

According to DPH, some sunlight - about 15 minutes twice a week - is necessary for people to make and use vitamin D. However, exposure in excess of this can be dangerous.

Twenty-seven Kentuckians were hospitalized due to severe sunburns in 2007, some resulting in dangerous second- and third-degree burns, according to the state Office of Health Policy. Of those, six patients were children ranging in age from younger than 1 to 12 years old.

Overexposure to sunlight can lead to extreme pain and skin injury, particularly for young children. The cabinet’s summer safety campaign stresses the importance of adults supervising and taking adequate precautions on behalf of children to protect them from serious sunburn.

“This is not only a public health issue, but it’s also an issue of our ability and willingness to protect and ensure the safety and welfare of our children,” Hacker said.

In addition to immediate pain, overexposure to sunlight, sun damage and burns can heighten the risk for developing skin cancer. According to the Kentucky Cancer Registry, the incidence rate of invasive skin cancer in Kentucky was nearly 22 out of every 100,000 people from 2001 to 2005. The mortality rate for the same period was 4.39 per 100,000 people.

Some tips for avoiding sunburn or side effects linked to sun exposure are:

• Avoid sunbathing.



• Avoid tanning parlors.



• Wear a hat that shields your face from the sun.



• Limit your sun exposure. The sun is hottest and strongest between 10 a.m. and 3 p.m.



• Use sunscreen with a sun protection factor of 15 or greater.



• Wear sunglasses that are UV rated.



• Choose cosmetics, moisturizing creams and lotions that contain sunscreen.
  
• Protect your lips with products that have a sun protection factor of 15 or greater.
