SUMMARY: Long-time Lexington Farmers Market vendor Paul Corrl, known for his breads, meats, jams, and salsas, faces an unexpected ban from the market effective February 15. After over 20 years of participation, Corrl’s application was reportedly rejected due to a missed deadline, though he disputes this, noting other vendors submitted late yet were still accepted. The situation has left him frustrated, as his farm provides a substantial portion of his family’s income. Despite the setback, Corrl encourages continued support for smaller vendors at the market, while seeking clarity from the market board, which has not yet responded.

For more than two decades, Paul Quarles and his farm have been a familiar fixture at the Lexington Farmers Market, providing meats, bread, jams, and salsa to the local community.

With two new deaths, flu has killed 3 children in Kentucky since last month

Two more Kentucky children have died from flu, the Cabinet for Health and Family Services announced Monday.

That makes three child flu deaths this season. The first pediatric flu death was reported on Feb. 7.

The latest are from Barren River District and Jefferson County, according to the cabinet. Nothing else about them is known.

Dr. Steven Stack, Kentucky’s public health commissioner, is urging vaccination.

“We are committed to doing all that we can to protect the health and safety of those in Kentucky,” Stack said in a statement. “It is important that we take the necessary precautions, such as staying up to date on vaccinations, washing hands regularly with soap and water, covering coughs and sneezes and staying home when sick, to protect ourselves and our loved ones from the harm that viruses such as influenza and COVID-19 can cause.” 

Symptoms of flu can include fever, sore throat, cough and more. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommends that everyone 6 months and older get their annual flu and COVID-19 vaccines. Though it’s best to get vaccinated at the start of the season, the cabinet says it’s not too late to get the shot. 

“We share this information not to scare folks, but to let them know that illnesses like the flu and COVID-19 can become serious,” Stack said in a  statement. “Fortunately, there are precautions people can take to decrease the risk of serious illness. Vaccines are safe and effective at lowering one’s risk of infection, hospitalization and death.”
