Good morning, Frankfort.

An Irish pub in Georgetown is raising funds for Scott County firefighter Jake Gierlak, who is battling cancer.

The community fundraiser continues as local patrons contribute to support his medical care.

On Monday, 300 students from Frankfort High School will return to their building after a fire damaged 70% of it and forced classes into First United Methodist Church (downtown) for several weeks, with internet support enhanced (by the Plant Board).

Franklin County Career and Technical Center launched a media arts program for high school students from Western Hills and Franklin County High Schools for the 2026-2027 school year, enrolling 51 students.

The program offers studio space, equipment, and a local access channel where students will produce live broadcasts.

Gov. Beshear signed an order today + the program will erase $250 million in medical debt for over 130,000 Kentuckians.

The first 46,000 residents will receive letters next week and no application is needed.

Elias Chavez earned Traditional Bank Athlete of the Week honors after scoring 11 goals in three games, helping his Western Hills team post a 10-1 record.

The Frankfort native aims to break the school’s scoring record (currently at 87–88 goals) as his team advances.
