Officials discuss ways to protect workers as temperatures rise in Louisville
SUMMARY: Officials in Louisville are taking steps to protect outdoor workers as extreme heat rises. Precautions include starting work earlier to avoid peak heat, shortening workdays, hydrating frequently, and taking cooling breaks. Firefighters face extra challenges as heat drains their oxygen tanks faster, requiring more backups. Parks and Recreation employees follow similar protocols. Workers are encouraged to watch for heat illness signs like fatigue, dizziness, and nausea and to look out for one another. An OSHA heat index app, available in English and Spanish, helps users monitor heat risk levels and provides first aid advice to stay safe.

Bowling Green man charged after dog found emaciated, unable to walk
SUMMARY: In Bowling Green, Ky., Damion Temple, 23, was arrested for animal torture after a severely emaciated German Shepherd was found in his yard. The dog, named Draco, was reported “near death” with severe muscle atrophy and visible bones. An animal control officer had to support the dog’s head as it couldn’t stand or walk. Temple admitted ownership and responsibility for Draco’s condition, which authorities believe resulted from deliberate starvation. The dog was taken to the Bowling Green-Warren County Humane Society, renamed Ethan, and is now recovering, walking, and eating. An anonymous donor pledged to cover all medical expenses.
