[♪♪] >> Renee: SOME HELP IS ON THE WAY FOR KENTUCKIANS HURT BY FLOODING.

WHAT IS NEXT FOR KENTUCKY?

>>ED FIRST TO DELIVER OUR MARINES ON FOREIGN SOIL AND HE WON A GREAT VICTORY.

>> Renee: AS WE CELEBRATE THE MARINE CORPS' 250TH YEAR WE HONOR A KENTUCKY MARINE WHO MADE HISTORY.

>> THERE'S A LOT OF THINGS THAT STANDARDIZED ACTORS AND ACTRESSES CAN DO THAT MANNEQUINS CAN'T.

>> Renee: HOW ACTORS ARE HELPING HEALTH STUDENTS DO THEIR HOMEWORK.

>> PRODUCTION OF "KENTUCKY EDITION" IS MADE POSSIBLE IN PART BY THE KET MILLENNIUM FUND.

[♪♪] IT'S APRIL 28TH I'M RENEE SHAW AND WE THANK YOU FOR SPENDING SOME OF YOUR MONDAY NIGHT WITH US.

ON FRIDAY PRESIDENT TRUMP APPROVED DISASTER DECLARATIONS FOR 13 COUNTIES THIS MEAN WILL MEAN INDIVIDUAL ASSISTANCE FOR PEOPLE AFFECTED BY FLOODS IN THOSE COUNTIES LISTED.

GOVERNOR ANDY BESHEAR SAYS HIS REQUEST FOR PUBLIC ASSISTANCE FOR OTHER COUNTIES AND THE STATE ARE STILL PENDING.

FEMA OPENED MORE CENTERS IN KENTUCKY.

FIND OUT MORE AT DISASTER ASSISTANCE.GOV OR CALL 1-800-621-FEVMENT MA.

>> A REAL ID WILL BE REQUIRED TO FLY COMMERCIALLY OR ENTER A MILITARY BASE MAY 2 BUT KENTUCKY ASKED THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT TO PUSHBACK THAT DATE.

TWO OUT OF THREE LICENSE HOLDERS DO NOT HAVE A REAL ID.

THERE'S LONG LINES AT DMV OFFICES.

EVERY REGIONAL OFFICE HAS THE AVAILABILITY TODAY FOR TO DO APPOINTMENTS TO GET REAL ID.

THERE IS NOT A SINGLE OFFICE IN LOUISVILLE, OR LEXINGTON AND NORTHERN KENTUCKY THEY ARE OUT INTO JUNE BEFORE YOU CAN GET AN APPOINTMENT.

WE SUSPENDED THIS THING FOUR TIMES AND I THINK THE PEOPLE I TALK TO BACK OCTOBER, NOVEMBER, YOU KNOW, WE'RE NOT GOING TO WORRY ABOUT THEM THEY WILL SUSPEND IT AGAIN.

AND THAT HASN'T HAPPENED.

AND RIGHT NOW IT'S LOOKING LIKE IT WON'T HAPPEN.

I WANT TO LOOK AT IT WHAT CAN WE DO IF THIS REQUEST IS NOT GRANTED AND IT WAS A HAIL MARY.

BUT I FELT LIKE IT WAS WE NEEDED TO DO SOMETHING TO TRY TO GET US REPRIEVE AND HELP THESE FOLKS TO WHO ARE HAVING A PROBLEM AT THE REGIONAL OFFICES.

>> Renee: MAY 7TH DATE IS NOT A DEADLINE PER SE.

YOU CAN GET A REAL ID ANYTIME.

AND CHECK OUT DRIVE.KY.GOV ON-LINE.

EASTERN KENTUCKY IS LOOKING TO PROMOTE ENTREPRENEURS ESPECIALLY YOUNG ONES AND THAT WAS THE FOCUS AS THE EAST KENTUCKY LEADERSHIP FOUNDATION HELD ITS CONFERENCE IN MANCHESTER LAST WEEK.

>> IT IS A UNIQUE VENUE BECAUSE SINCE IT IS AN ENTIRELY VOLUNTEER ORGANIZATION, NOBODY REALLY OWNS IT.

AND NOBODY CAN SAY YOU CAN'T TALK ABOUT THIS, YOU CAN'T TALK ABOUT THAT.

SO WE LIKE TO SEE THIS AS A VENUE WHERE PEOPLE CAN COME TOGETHER LEADERS FROM AROUND THE REGION TO TALK ABOUT THE ISSUES OF THE DAY.

AND TO THINK ABOUT WHAT WE CAN DO TO CREATE SOLUTIONS TOGETHER.

THIS YEAR WE'RE FOCUSING ON THE ENTREPRENEURIAL MINDSET.

AND ENTREPRENEURSHIP IS AN INCREDIBLE RESOURCE IN OUR REGION.

ONE OF THE THINGS WE HAVE SEEN OVER MANY YEARS, IS THAT WE CAN'T REALLY COUNT ON LOOKING TO THE OUTSIDE FOR SOLUTIONS FOR OUR COMMUNITIES AND THAT WHAT WE NEED TO DO IS HELP OUR COMMUNITIES RECREATE THEMSELVES AS PRAISES WHERE PEOPLE CAN LIVE AND WILL CHOOSE TO LIVE.

>> THIS MORNING I WAS ON A PANEL FOR THE GOVERNOR'S SCHOOL FOR ENTREPRENEURS.

AND ON THAT PANEL WE TALKED ABOUT OUR JOURNEYS AS YOUNG ENTREPRENEURS IN EASTERN KENTUCKY WHICH WAS WONDERFUL.

AND REALLY JUST CONNECTING WITH VARIOUS BUSINESSES AND COLLEGES PROGRAMS TO GET EASTERN KENTUCKY INTO AN ENTREPRENEURIAL SPACE.

>> WE ANSWERED QUESTIONS THAT WERE RELEVANT TO EASTERN KENTUCKY ENTREPRENEURSHIP.

HOW DO WE SEE THE FUTURE OF THAT PROGRESSING?

WHAT IS THE MOST IMPORTANT THINGS FOR PEOPLE IN EASTERN KENTUCKY FOR ENTREPRENEURSHIP?

WHAT ARE CHANGES WE THINK HAVE BENEFITED EASTERN KENTUCKY IN THE PAST?

AND HOW DO WE SEE THE FUTURE PROGRESSING.

>> I GOT INTO SEMI TRUCKS AND I BOUGHT A SEMI TRUCK FROM AUCTION AND RAN FOUR OR FIVE OVER THE ROAD TRUCKS ACROSS THE COUNTRY FOR TWO OR THREE YEARS.

IT WAS A FAILED BUSINESS.

AND I DON'T HAVE A SINGLE REGRET OF IT BECAUSE IT I LEARNED THAT FAILING IS PART OF IT.

AND YOU HAVE TO JUST HAVE THE RESILIENCE TO KEEP GOING AND COME BACK AND TRUST YOUR JUDGMENT TO KNOW WHAT THE RIGHT TIME TO DO IT IS AND WHAT TIME TO STOP IS.

>> WE'RE INCLUDING YOUNG PEOPLE EVERY YEAR IN THIS CONFERENCE THE YOUNG PEOPLE ARE THE FUTURE OF THE REGION.

AND WHEN WE PUT TOGETHER THESE TWO IMPORTANT THINGS OF INCLUDING YOUNG PEOPLE AND LIFTING UP ENTREPRENEURSHIP WE SEE WHERE THE BRIGHT IDEAS THAT ARE COMING FROM THAT WILL HELP BUILD EAST KENTUCKY OF THE FUTURE.

>> A COUPLE OF MY MAJOR TAKEAWAYS HAVE BEEN JUST KNOWING AS A YOUNG ENTREPRENEUR FROM EASTERN KENTUCKY YOU ARE CAPABLE OF DOING SOMETHING AS BIG AND GRAND AS SOMEONE IN A LARGER AREA.

LIKE BEING FROM A RURAL AREA DOESN'T DEFINE WHAT YOU CAN CREATE IN THE BUSINESS SPACE.

>> I KNOW IT'S A WEIRD MARKET BUT THERE'S SO MANY OPPORTUNITIES HERE.

THAT PEOPLE DON'T SEE AND PEOPLE DON'T TAKE ADVANTAGE OF.

BUT I BELIEVE THAT WITH MY GENERATION UP-AND-COMING REALLY ASPIRING TO BRING MORE LIFE BACK TO EASTERN KENTUCKY.

AND WE AREN'T AFRAID TO FAIL TO LEARN HOW TO DO IT.

SO WE'LL MAKE IT HAPPEN.

>> Renee: NEXT YEAR'S EAST KENTUCKY LEADERSHIP CONFERENCE IS SET TO BE HELD IN BE RHEA.

>> KIM DAVIS, THE LEXINGTON HERALD-LEADER REPORTS THE COURT OF APPEALS TURNED DOWN HER MOTION TO HAVE HER CASE HEARD AGAIN BY THE FULL COURT.

IN 2015, DAVIS REFUSED TO ISSUE SAME-SEX MARRIAGE LICENSES TO COUPLES AT HER OFFICE.

ONE OF THE COUPLES SUED AND WON $360,000 IN DAMAGES FROM DAVIS.

>>> Dr. NORA VOLKOW IS THE DIRECTOR OF THE NATIONAL INSTITUTE OF DRUG ABUSE AND IS CONSIDERED ONE OF THE NATION'S LEADING VOICES ON RESEARCH.

SHE IS ONE OF THE PEOPLE THAT "KENTUCKY EDITION" SAT DOWN WITH THE RX AND ILLICIT DRUG SUMMIT HELD IN NASHVILLE TENNESSEE.

THE CONFERENCE FOCUSED ON DRUG ADDICTION TREATMENT, RECOVERY AND PREVENTION.

IN MY INTERVIEW, SHE DESCRIBES WHAT COULD COME NEXT IN PUBLIC POLICY AND RESEARCH WHEN IT COMES TO DRUG ABUSE.

WITH THE WIDENING AVAILABILITY OF MEDICAL CANNABIS, BOTH IN TERMS OF MEDICINAL AND RECREATIONAL, HAS THE PUBLIC HEALTH POLICIES AND PRACTICES KEPT PACE WITH THAT ENLARGEMENT OF THE AVAILABILITY OF MEDICAL CANNABIS?

AND WHAT COURSE CORRECTION IN YOUR VIEW, SHOULD HAPPEN AT THIS JUNCTURE?

>> WELL, IT CLEARLY WE HAVE NOT KEEP PACE UP WITH IT AND THERE HAVE BEEN ISSUES THAT DISTRACTED US FROM SEEING HOW CANNABIS PERMITTED OUR COMMUNITIES AND NOT JUST CANNABIS BUT RECOGNIZING THAT THE CANNABIS PROBLEMS -- PRODUCTS BEING SOLD ARE MORE POW TENTSD AND THE CONSEQUENCES WE'RE SEEING IS THE PATTERN OF CONSUMPTION IS NOT JUST THAT MORE PEOPLE ARE CONSUMING IT BUT THE PEOPLE ARE CONSUMING IT IN WAYS THAT WAS ARE MUCH MORE HARMFUL THAN IN THE PAST.

AND WE HAVE KEPT OUR EYES DISTRACTED BY THE OVERDOSE CRISIS.

SO AND I MADE THE POINT THAT SPECIFICALLY EXPLICITLY STATING WE NEED TO TARGET PREVENTION AND PREVENTION IS NOT PREVENTING PEOPLE FROM USING ONE SPECIFIC DRUG.

WE NEED TO PREVENT DRUG USE AMONG YOUNG PEOPLE WHICH ARE THE MOST VULNERABLE.

AND ALSO PREVENT IN GENERAL, THE INCREASING UTILIZATIONS OF MORE AND MORE POWERFUL DRUGS AND CANNABIS, THE PROBLEMS THAT ARE -- PRODUCTS BEING SOLD HAVE A HIGHER CONTENT OF THC AND THEY COME IN DIVERSE FORMS THAT IS LEADING PEOPLE TO EXPOSURES WE HAVE NOT SEEN.

WE ARE SEEING MEDICAL CONSEQUENCES OF MARIJUANA OF CANNABIS, OF THC.

WE DID NOT KNOW ABOUT.

YOUNG PEOPLE DYING FROM MYOCARDIAL, AND VASE USE LAR ACCIDENTS FROM THE USE OF HIGH CONTENT THC.

PEOPLE BECOMING PSYCHOTIC FROM HIGH CONTENT THC.

AND PEOPLE GETTING INTO ACCIDENTS AND SORT OF STRANGE MEDICAL SYNDROMES THAT EMERGE WITH THESE HIGH CONTENT THC AND, YES, WE'RE SEEING THE CONSEQUENCES FROM THE CONSUMPTION.

>> Renee: YOU CAN SEE MORE OF MY INTERVIEW WITH NORA VOLKOW AND HEAR FROM MEMBERS OF THE KENTUCKY FEDERAL DELEGATION DISCUSS THE NATIONAL RESPONSE TO DRUG ADDICTION DURING "KENTUCKY TONIGHT" A LOOK BACK AT THE RX AND ILLICIT DRUG SUMMIT THAT AIRS TONIGHT ON "KENTUCKY TONIGHT" AT 8 EASTERN 7 CENTRAL RIGHT HERE ON KET.

[♪♪] LAST SATURDAY, KENTUCKY MARINE CORPS VETERANS HONORED ONE OF THEIR SERVICEMEN.

LIEUTENANT PRESLEY WAS THE FIRST AMERICAN TO RAISE A U.S.

FLAG OVER FOREIGN SOIL IN TIME OF WAR.

HE HAD BEEN CALLED ON BY PRESIDENT THOMAS JEFFERSON TO TAKE ON PIRATES IN THE MEDITERRANEAN SEA AND WE BRING YOU TO HIS RESTING PLACE IN FRANKFORT.

>> HE WAS ALSO IN POLITICS IN KENTUCKY.

SO I AM HONORED TO WEAR THIS UNIFORM WHEN I CAN TO REPRESENT HIM AND MANY TIMES I COME AND STAND AND WE HAVE A WORD JUST BETWEEN HE AND I.

[♪♪] >> HE WAS THE FIRST TO DELIVER OUR MARINES ON FOREIGN SOIL AND TAKE CASUALTIES AND TO WIN A VICTORY.

AND HE WON A GREAT VICTORY.

HE TAKES HIS SEVEN MARINES AND, I THINK, IT WAS 11 COUNTRIES BOTTOM TIERS, AND THEY WITH CAMELS AND DONKEYS, CROSSED THAT DESERT AND IT WAS FREEZING COLD AT NIGHT AND ABOVE 100° IN THE DAYTIME.

>> ONE THING ABOUT HIS TIME IN THE DESERT WHEN HE WAS DOING THE GENERAL SAID THEY CAME ACROSS MUSLIMS AND CHRISTIANS AND DIFFERENT PEOPLE CAN YOU IMAGINE WHAT IT TOOK TO HOLD THAT GROUP TOGETHER FOR 700 MILES?

AND THE TACTICS HE USED THE CHARACTERISTICS OF LEADERSHIP HE USED AND HE HELD IT ALTOGETHER TO WHERE HE GOT TO BE THE FIRST AMERICAN MILITARY TO RAISE A FAG ON FOREIGN SOIL.

>> Renee: HE SPENT HIS LIFE IN KENTUCKY AND WAS A STATE SENATOR AND REPRESENTATIVE.

HIS 1812 HOME IN LOGAN COUNTY IS PRESERVED AND OPEN TO THE PUBLIC.

THIS YEAR IS THE 250TH ANNIVERSARY OF THE U.S. MARINE CORPS FOUNDING.

TO LEARN MORE ABOUT HOW KENTUCKY'S MARINES ARE CELEBRATING VISIT ON-LINE, KENTUCKY MARINES.ORG.

[♪♪] APRIL IS AUTISM AWARENESS MONTH OVER THE WEEKEND, THE GREATER LOUISVILLE ASSOCIATION OF REALTORS PARTNERED WITH ANOTHER GROUP TO EDUCATE THEIR MEMBERS ABOUT WORKING WITH PEOPLE NEURODIVERGENT.

>> AUTISM IS SOMETHING THAT PEOPLE FORGET ABOUT.

I THINK BECAUSE IT'S NOT NECESSARILY A DISABILITY YOU CAN SEE.

AND SO I THINK THAT THAT IS SOMETHING THAT IS REALLY IMPORTANT TO HIGHLIGHT, ESPECIALLY FOR OUR MEMBERS, BECAUSE THEY ARE DEALING WITH ALL KINDS OF DIFFERENT POPULATIONS WITHIN OUR COMMUNITY.

>> I'M DOING TRAININGS ON BULLYING.

I'M COMING TO CORPORATIONS AND WORKING WITH THEM ON THE EDUCATION PIECE.

WHEN WE EDUCATE THEN THAT ACCEPTANCE PIECE COMES TO PLAY.

AND IT'S REALLY IMPORTANT TO ME THAT US AS A COMMUNITY AND AS A SOCIETY EMBRACE INDIVIDUALS WITH DIFFERENCES.

WE HAVE OUR AUTISM FRIENDLY BUSINESS INITIATIVE BORN IN 2016 AND WE DO PARTNER WITH BUSINESSES IN THE AREA.

BASICALLY, IT'S JUST A SMALL SNIPPET OF REALTIME OF AN INDIVIDUAL WITH AUTISM GOING TO A RESTAURANT AND, YOU KNOW, HEARING FROM A DOCTOR'S PERSPECTIVE OF WHAT IS AUTISM, WHAT DOES THAT LOOK LIKE.

AND THEN THE INDIVIDUAL IN THE VIDEO THAT SOMETIMES IS TALKING, BUT ALSO SHOWING WHAT IT ALSO MIGHT LOOK LIKE.

SOMETIMES THE CHARACTERISTICS ARE NOT ALWAYS VERBAL.

HE SAW HIM IF ANYTHINGETTING WITH HIS HANDS, ROCKING BACK AND FORTH, SLAMMING A DOOR.

THE SENSORY SIMULATION IS WHERE THEY GO THROUGH A SERIES OF STATIONS AND GET TO SEE WHAT IT FEELS LIKE TO HAVE A LIMITATION.

WHETHER THEY ARE A CHILD OR ADULT, I ALWAYS HEAR I'M FRUSTRATED.

I COULDN'T DO THIS EVERYDAY.

BUT INDIVIDUALS WITH DISABILITIES AND LIMITATIONS, THEY DON'T HAVE A CHOICE.

>> WITH AUTISM SPECTRUM DISORDER IT MAKES ME WANT TO LEARN MORE ABOUT IT IMMERSE MYSELF IN IT SO IF I ENCOUNTER A PERSON WHO HAS CHILDREN, SENSORY ISSUES I CAN APPLY ALL THOSE TOOLS I'VE LEARNED AND USE IT TO HELP MY CLIENT.

>> NOT EVERY REALTOR NEEDS TO KNOW EVERY SINGLE THING ABOUT NEURODIE VER JENTS BUT HAVING THE RESOURCES TO POINT THE FAMILIES IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION IS CRUCIAL.

>> IT IS ALSO ANOTHER AWARENESS THAT, I THINK, PEOPLE NEED TO HAVE AND WHENEVER THEY ARE ENCOUNTERING OTHERS WITH NEURODIVERSITY KNOWING HOW TO COMMUNICATE WITH THEM.

HOW TO INTERACT WITH THEM.

BEING MORE INCLUSIVE WITH PEOPLE THAT DEAL WITH THAT.

FOR ME IT'S JUST TREAT EVERYBODY THE WAY THEY SHOULD BE TREATED.

>> ONE OF THE THINGS I REALLY PROMOTE IN MY TRAININGS ESPECIALLY FOR THE YOUNGER POPULATION IS BE KIND, BE A FRIEND.

YOU KNOW, BECAUSE WE NEVER KNOW WHAT SOMEONE IS COMING TO THE TABLE WITH.

>> Renee: ACCORDING TO RECENT NUMBERS FROM THE U.S. CENTERS FOR DISEASE CONTROL AND PREVENTION, THE C.D.C.

AN ESTIMATED ONE IN 31 CHILDREN HAVE AUTISM.

>>> NORTHERN KENTUCKY UNIVERSITY'S SIMULATION CENTER USES ACTORS TO HELP STUDENTS IN THE HEALTH FIELD PREPARE FOR REAL-LIFE SCENARIOS IN THEIR JOBS AFTER COLLEGE.

WE SPOKE TO THE DIRECTOR OF THE SIMULATION CENTER AND AN ACTOR TO SEE WHY THIS METHOD HELPS.

MORE ON THAT IN TONIGHT'S EDUCATION MATTERS REPORT.

>> THERE IS A LOT OF THINGS THAT STANDARDIZED ACTORS AND ACT ACTRESSES CAN DO WE CAN PUT STUDENTS INTO A SITUATION AND ASK THEM TO PERFORM WE CALL IT LIKE HARD SKILLS AND SOFT SKILLS.

THE HARD SKILLS ARE THE THINGS YOU THINK OF WHEN YOU THINK OF WHAT A NURSE DOES.

PUTTINGPUTTING IN IV'S PERFORMIG DIFFERENT INTERVENTIONS TAKING VITAL SIGNS.

YOU CAN DO THOSE ON A MANNEQUIN.

IT'S HARDER TO DEVELOP THOSE COMMUNICATION SKILLS OR THE SOFT SKILLS WITH THE MANNEQUINS SO WE USE OUR ACTORS AND ACTRESSES TO HELP THEM DEVELOP THE COMMUNICATION SKILLS EMPATHY AND COMPASSION AND BE ABLE TO DO THE HARD SKILLS WHILE STILL COMMUNICATING THEY GET USED TO DOING AND TALKING AT THE SAME TIME.

I'VE BEEN HERE FOR THREE YEARS TOTAL I HAVE BEEN A PATIENT AT DIFFERENT COLLEGES FOR ABOUT 10.

SO I AM AN ACTOR AND ALSO AN IMPROVISER AND BOTH OF THOSE ROLES REALLY LEND THEMSELVES NICELY TO THIS KIND OF WORK AND SPECIFICALLY WITH THIS IT'S INTERESTING TO HAVE A SITUATION WHERE I IMPACT REAL WORLD CHANGE SO THAT WAS EXCITING.

AND MY FAVORITE ABOUT IS I SAY THAT THE DOCTORS DO DOCTORING BUT I DO THE HUMANNING.

I HELP THEM BE BETTER HUMANSISM WE DO A LOT OF AIRWAY SCENARIOS SO THIS MIGHT BE DISTRESS WE CAN DO EMERGENCY, A CODE SITUATION, WE DO A LOT OF COMMUNICATION SIMULATION.

MENTAL HEALTH ISSUES.

TALKING ABOUT THAT.

WE WOULD DO MORE SKILL-BASE.

MEDICATIONS, ADMINISTERING SAFE MEDICATION, INTERPROFESSIONAL COMMUNICATION.

USUALLY ONE SIMULATION HAS A COMBINATION OF QUITE A FEW OBJECTIVES THAT STUDENTS WILL SEE IN PRACTICE.

WHETHER IT'S NURSING RESPIRATORY CARE, SOCIAL WORK, COUNSELING, EXERCISE SCIENCE, IT JUST DEPENDS ON THE DISCIPLINE AND WHO IS HERE.

>> THEY ARE USUALLY FAIRLY SHORT NO LONGER THAN 10 MINUTES AND IT'S JUST TO KIND OF GET THEM TO PRACTICE IN A LOW RISK STRATEGY SETTING.

WHEN I FIRST STARTED I HAD LITTLE MEDICAL KNOWLEDGE I WAS ASKING QUESTIONS BECAUSE I DIDN'T KNOW AND I FEEL THAT IS TRUE TO LIFE.

AND BEING ABLE TO HAVE THAT EXPERIENCE WAS REALLY VALUABLE HELPING THE STUDENTS, BECAUSE THEY ARE AROUND IT ALL OF THE TIME.

AND SOMETIMES THEIR MEDICAL BRAIN IS LIKE YEAH, THIS IS COMMON.

BUT FOR A PATIENT, THEY DON'T KNOW WHAT IS COMMON THEY DON'T KNOW WHAT IS NORMAL TO GUIDE THE PATIENTS IN THAT WAY IS HELPFUL.

AND THAT WAS REALLY NICE AT THE BEGINNING.

AND NOW BECAUSE I HAVE THAT FOUNDATIONAL BUILDING IT'S HELPFUL FOR ME TO BE ABLE TO GUIDE THEM IN THAT WAY AND SAY WELL, YOU SAID THINGS WITH MEDICAL JARGON AND THAT WAS SCARY FOR ME OR YOU MIGHT HAVE GOTTEN THE MEDICAL ANSWER RIGHT BUT DID I UNDERSTAND IT?

>> SIMULATION HAS A TENDENCY TO CAUSE ANXIETY BECAUSE THEY ARE PRACTICING IN AN ENVIRONMENT THEY ARE NOT SURE OF THE SITUATION.

I HAVE A GROUP OF 12 STUDENTS TWO ARE GOING TO GO INTO.

THE REST OF THEM ARE GOING TO SIT IN A DEBRIEF SPACE AND WATCH IT LIVE.

THEY WILL BE ABLE TO WATCH THE STUDENTS HOW THEY PERFORM AND THEN THEY WILL TALK AND DEBRIEF ABOUT SOME OF THE THINGS THE OBSERVERS NOTICED AND THE NURSES WERE NOTICING AT THE BEDSIDE.

>> SIMULATED EXPERIENCES FORCE YOU TO CONNECT.

AND THEY ALLOW YOU TO CONNECT IN WAYS THAT ARE SAFE AND ALLOW YOU TO STOP.

IT'S NOT LIKE THE TRAIN LEFT THE STATION AND YOU ARE NOT ALLOWED TO GO I DON'T KNOW HOW TO DO THIS AND I FEEL LIKE THE WORLD COULD USE MERE R MORE OF I DON'T KNOW HOW TO DO THIS AND THAT IS OKAY WE'RE GOING TO FIGURE IT OUT.

AND THAT IS WHAT IT ALLOWS YOU TO DO.

>> Renee: NEAT CONCEPT.

THE SIMULATION CENTER HAS ABOUT 10-15 ACTORS THAT ROTATE THROUGH DIFFERENT MEDICAL SCENARIOS.

[♪♪] ALL EYES WILL BE ON KENTUCKY THIS WEEKEND AS THE 151ST KENTUCKY DERBY IS SATURDAY.

ONE OF THE MOST ICONIC TRADITIONS OF THE DERBY ARE THE FABULOUS HATS BUT IT IS NOT JUST A FASHION ACCESSORY IT IS AN ART FORM.

CHRISTIE DUTTON TAKES US TO MEET ONE OF THE MILNERS FOR THE KENTUCKY DERBY.

>> SOME PEOPLE THINK THEY GO THERE TO WATCH THE HORSES.

NO THEY GO THERE TO LOOK AT THE HATS.

>> SOME OF WHICH WERE MADE BY MILNER BEGIN ANY.

OWNER OF FOUR MAIN MILLION LENRY.

>> A HAT CAN CHANGE YOUR DAY AND IT CAN CHANGE YOUR LIFE.

>> AS A MILNER.

>> A MILNER IS SOMEONE WHO MAKES HATS FROM SCRATCH.

>> SHE SELLS HER HATS IN AN ART SHOW IN CHICAGO.

>> THE WOMAN WAS FROM LOUISVILLE KENTUCKY AND ASKED ME IF I THOUGHT OF MAKING HATS FOR THE DERBY.

AND I HADN'T.

AND SO SHE THOUGHT I WOULD DO WELL AND I ENDED UP GOING TO KENTUCKY THAT FOLLOWING YEAR.

>> AND SHE THREW HER HAT INTO THE RING SO TO SPEAK.

>> SOLD HATS OUT OF THE TRUNK OF MY CAR.

I SOLD OUT IN ONE DAY AND PEOPLE REALLY LIKED HATS HERE.

>> FOR SEVERAL YEARS SHE MADE THE TRIP TO LOUISVILLE TO SELL HER DERBY HATS.

DURING THAT TIME FELL IN LOVE WITH THE TOWN AND THE PEOPLE AND HOW SUPPORTIVE EVERYONE WAS FOR SMALL BUSINESSES.

>> IN 2014 SHE DECIDED LOUISVILLE WAS THE PERFECT PLACE TO HANG HER HAT.

AND OPEN FOUR MAIN MILLIONER INRY.

>> I LOVE VINTAGE LOOKS.

>> DRAWING INSPIRATION FROM ANOTHER TIME AND PLACE.

>> I WILL USE TRIM FROM FRANCE.

I LOVE BRINGING THEM BACK TO LIFE AND INCORPORATING THEM INTO MY WORK.

>> THERE'S NOTHING OLD HAT ABOUT THIS HAT SHOP.

>> ALL MY HATS ARE NEW.

A LOT OF TIMES PEOPLE WILL THINK MY HATS ARE VINTAGE, THEY ARE NOT.

>> LIKE THESE ANTIQUE WOODEN HAT BLOCKS.

>> I REALLY LIKE TO THINK ABOUT WHAT MADE A HAT ON THIS HAT BLOCK HUNDREDS OF YEARS AGO, WHAT O'CLOCKION WAS IT FOR, HOW MANY HATS HAVE BEEN MADE ON THE FORM AND THE ENERGY OF THE SOULS COMING THROUGH.

>> AND INFLUENCES FROM THE PAST INCLUDE MORE THAN THE HATS.

>> NOT THAT LONG AGO, I LEARNED THAT MY GREAT GRANDMOTHER, BETTY, WAS A MILNER.

I WAS LIKE GOSH IT'S BEEN IN MY BLOOD AND I DIDN'T KNOW IT.

>> BRINGS THE PAST TO THE PRESENT HELPING EACH CLIENT DISCOVER HAT TEUD WHEN THE PERFECT HAT FITS JUST RIGHT.

>> YOU SEE THEM TRANSFORMED AND YOU SEE THIS ENERGY RUN THROUGH THEIR BODY AND THEY WILL STAND TALLER AND SMILE BIGGER.

IT IS A WONDERFUL FEELING AND IT'S WHY I DO WHAT I DO.

>> I'M CHRISTIE DUTTON FOR INSIDE THE KENTUCKY DERBY.

>> Renee: YOU CAN LEARN MORE ABOUT THE TRADITIONS BEHIND THE GREATEST TWO MINUTES IN SPORTS THE RUN FOR THE ROSES FROM THE DERBY PIE TO MINT JULIPS THAT IS ON "INSIDE LOUISVILLE" STREAMING NOW ON-LINE AND ON DEMAND AT KET.ORG.

TOBY GIBBS TELLS US MORE IN TONIGHT'S LOOK AT THIS WEEK IN KENTUCKY HISTORY.

[♪♪] >> FIVE MEN ROBBED THE DEPOSIT BANK IN COLUMBIA KENTUCKY ON APRIL 29, 1872.

THE FIVE WERE MEMBERS OF THE JAMES GANG INCLUDING JESSYE JAMES AND HIS BROTHER FRANK.

NO ONE WAS ARRESTED FOR THE CRIME.

>>> LOUISVILLE'S STEEL BOCH HOTEL OPENED ON MAY FIRST, JOINING A CROWD OF 25,000.

PRESIDENTS FROM TAFT TO BILL CLINTON WOULD VISIT THE SEAL BOCH.

CITATION WON THE KENTUCKY DERBY ON MAY 1, 1948 ON HIS WAY TO WINNING THE TRIPLE CROWN.

THE AMERICAN BASKETBALL ASSOCIATION'S KENTUCKY COLONELS PLAYED IN 1976 AS THEY LOST TO THE NUGGETS IN THE ABA PLAYOFFS.

AS THE ABA FOLDED SEVERAL TEAMS WERE ASKED TO JOIN THE NBA AND THE COLONELS WERE NOT AMONG THEM.

THOSE ARE A FEW OF THE BIG EVENTS THIS WEEK IN KENTUCKY HISTORY.

I'M TOBY GIBBS.

>> Renee: THANKS TOBY GIBBS.

KENTUCKY WOULD BE A MUCH DIFFERENT PLACE WITHOUT LIMESTONE AND THAT GAVE ARTISTS AN IDEA FOR A PUBLIC ART PROJECT IN LEXINGTON'S GATTON PARK.

>> WE WOULD BRING THE UNSUNG HERO UP TO TO INTERACT WITH AND THAT IS HOW WE GOT OUR IDEA.
