  • Exercise and exams can help prevent falls

    Anyone can fall, but the risk of falling and being seriously injured by a fall increases with age.

    One in three adults over the age of 65 falls each year, causing the majority of injury and injury-related deaths among seniors.  National Falls Prevention Awareness Day is the first day of fall, Sept 22.  This day brings attention to the seriousness of falls and the ways to prevent them. 

    Four simple ways to reduce the risk of a fall include exercise, healthy vision, safe home environments and smart medication usage.

  • Summer weather patterns assist insect migration into crops

    UK entomologists have observed that despite last years’ mild winter, insect pest populations have been mostly below average in Kentucky.  However, summer weather patterns have made it favorable for insects to begin migration, including corn earworm, fall armyworm and yellow-striped armyworm populations in various crops. While we haven’t seen invasions of these insects in Henry County yet, they have in Western Kentucky, so we need to be vigilant.

  • How to choose wisely: debit, credit and prepaid cards

    Many consumers use debit, credit and prepaid cards, often interchangeably, to purchase goods and services. However, these three types of cards are quite different. Consider the following.

    Each card works differently. If you use a credit card, you are borrowing money that you must pay back, in addition to interest, if you do not pay the balance in full by the due date. But, if you use a debit card, which is issued by your bank and linked to your checking or savings account, the money taken from the account is yours and you will never incur interest charges.
