[♪♪] >> Renee: GOOD EVENING AND WELCOME TO "KENTUCKY EDITION" ON THIS FRIDAY, IT IS OAKS DAY IT IS MAY SECOND I'M RENEE SHAW AND WE THANK YOU FOR KICKING OFF YOUR WEEKEND WITH US.

>>> THE OAKS RACE IS TODAY.

AND THE KENTUCKY DERBY IS TOMORROW.

AND WE'LL HAVE MORE ON THE BIG HORSERACING WEEKEND IN A FEW MINUTES.

BUT FIRST, NEWS ABOUT D.E.I.

IN KENTUCKY SCHOOLS.

THE KENTUCKY LANTERN REPORTS ALMOST ALL OF KENTUCKY'S 171 SCHOOL DISTRICTS HAVE NOW SIGNED OFF ON PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP'S ADMINISTRATION RULES ABOUT DAMENT OR DIVERSITY, EQUITY AND INCLUSION.

THE TRUMP ADMINISTRATION HAS BEEN PUSHING SCHOOLS TO ABANDON D.E.I.

PROGRAMS.

THE LANTERN SAYS THE STATE'S TWO BIGGEST SCHOOL SYSTEMS JEFFERSON AND FAYETTE COUNTY HAVE NOT SIGNED ON TO THE TRUMP PLAN.

INSTEAD THEY ISSUED STATEMENTS SAYING THEY WERE COMPLYING WITH FEDERAL LAW.

SUPERINTENDENT TERESA MORGAN OF HARDIN COUNTY PUBLIC SCHOOLS PUSHED BACK ON THE REQUEST TO SIGN THE FORM AND ADDED THE PHRASE QUOTE IT IS WITH GREAT DISGUST AND SADNESS THAT I'M SIGNING THIS DOCUMENT END QUOTE.

THE KENTUCKY DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION IS ASKING THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT FOR MORE TIME TO SPEND DOWN DOLLARS NOW THE THE RISK OF BEING HELD BACK.

IN MARCH, U.S. SECRETARY OF EDUCATION LINDA MCMAHON SAID HER DEPARTMENT WOULD STOP SENDING PAYMENTS OF COVID-19 RELIEF FUNDS.

KENTUCKY'S EDUCATION COMMISSIONER ROBBIE FLETCHER SAYS THAT WOULD MEAN A LOSS OF MORE THAN $3 MILLION FOR 13 SCHOOL DISTRICTS AND ADDED THE DISTRICTS ALREADY SIGNED CONTRACTS FOR HOW THAT MONEY WILL BE SPENT WHICH INCLUDES CONSTRUCTION PROJECTS AND PURCHASING NEW SCHOOL BUSES.

IN ANNOUNCING HIS REQUEST TODAY, COMMISSIONER FLETCHER SAID QUOTE THE CONTRACTS STILL EXIST AND SOME HARD DECISIONS HAVE TO BE MADE ABOUT HOW TO PAY FOR THESE PROJECTS IF THE U.S. EDUCATION DEPARTMENT DOES NOT HONOR ITS PREVIOUS COMMITMENTS.

END QUOTE.

SECRETARY McMAHON SAID IT WOULD CONSIDER AN EXTENSION AND 0 AND AINDIVIDUAL PROJECT BASIS.

IT IS NOT CLEAR WHEN THE PROJECTS COULD BE APPROVED.

>>> AS THIS SCHOOL YEAR WINDS DOWN WE'RE LOOKING AHEAD TO THE NEXT WEEK.

INCOMING HIGH SCHOOL FRESHMEN THE CLASS OF 2029 AND THOSE WHO WOULD COME AFTER THEM MUST NOW TAKE A FINANCIAL LITERACY COURSE TO GRADUATE.

THE KENTUCKY GENERAL ASSEMBLY PASSED HOUSE BILL 342 IN MARCH.

OUR LAURA ROGERS EXPLAINS WHY CHAMPIONS OF THE BILL SAY LEARNING ABOUT MANAGING MONEY SHOULD BE AN EDUCATIONAL MATTER.

MORE ABOUT THAT IN OUR EDUCATION MATTERS REPORT.

>> HERE AT WARREN EAST HIGH SCHOOL IN BOWLING GREEN MIRANDA PHILLIPS IS TEACHING A COURSE ON FINANCIAL LITERACY.

>> OUR GOAL IS FOR EVERY STUDENT TO BE SUCCESSFUL WHEN THEY LEAVE HIGH SCHOOL.

>> PART IS MAKING A SALARY OR LIVING WAGE KNOWING HOW TO SAVE AND SPEND RESPONSIBILITY.

>> STUDENTS NEED TO UNDERSTAND HOW TO MANAGE THAT MONEY ONCE THEY GET IT SO THEY DON'T SPEND IT AND END UP NOT BEING ABLE TO PAY BILLS.

>> 4% OF KENTUCKY STUDENTS GUARANTEED TO HAVE A FULL COURSE REQUIREMENT NOW AND WARREN EAST WAS ONE OF THE HIGH SCHOOLS ON THAT LIST.

>> REPUBLICAN STATE REPRESENTATIVE MICHAEL MEREDITH REPRESENTS WARREN AND ALL OF EDMONSON COUNTIES AND SPONSORED HOUSE BILL 342 WHICH REQUIRES ALL HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS TO PASS A FINANCIAL LITERACY COURSE IN ORDER TO GRADUATE.

>> IT'S BUDGETING, IT'S TAKING OUT LOANS IT'S INSURANCE, DEBITS AND CREDITS AND HOPEFUL INVESTMENT EXPERIENCE IN THAT AS WELL.

>> MICHAEL MEREDITH WHOSE CAREER IS BANKING SAYS TEENAGERS NEED TO UNDERSTAND THESE CONCEPTS BEFORE ENTERING COLLEGE OR THE WORKFORCE.

>> YOU'RE STARTING TO MAKE THOSE BIG DECISIONS IT IS EASIER TO START WITH A GOOD FOUNDATION, THAN TO WRECK A GOOD FOUNDATION AND TRY TO FIX IT AFTER THE FACT.

>> I'M PATRICK GRABOVIY I'M 16.

>> HE HAD AN IMPORTANT ALLEY, 16-YEAR-OLD PATRICK GRABOVIY A STUDENT AT NORTH OLDHAM HIGH SCHOOL.

>> PATRICK HAD INTERNED AT THE TREASURY DURING THE SUMMER AND THIS BECAME HIS PASSION.

>> PERSONAL FINANCE IS SOMETHING THAT EVERYONE NEEDS.

>> DAVID OSBORNE CONNECTED GRABOVIY AND MICHAEL MEREDITH AND THEY WORKED TO DEVELOP THE LEGISLATION.

>> HE WAS A WEALTH OF KNOWLEDGE HE HAD DONE HIS HOMEWORK.

>> COMMITTEE HEARINGS I WAS ON THE PHONE WITH LEGISLATORS AND SENDING E-MAILS DOING ANYTHING TO MAKE SURE THIS BILL WOULD MAKE IT ON TO THE FLOOR.

IF YOU PUT YOUR MIND TO SOMETHING YOU CAN DO IT.

>> GRABOVIY KNOWS THE IMPORTANCE OF PERCENT VER REASONS HE IS THE SON OF UKRAINIAN REFUGEES WHO CAME TO THE UNITED STATES IN 1996.

>> YOU DIDN'T HAVE THE LANGUAGE, YOU DIDN'T HAVE MONEY, YOU DID HAVE THE AMERICAN DREAM.

>> BASED ON THE PRINCIPLE OF EDUCATION AND HE FELT SCHOOLS NEEDED TO DO MORE TO TEACH LIFE SKILLS INCLUDING FINANCIAL LITED RACEY.

>> I GOT TO MEET SO MANY KIDS THAT DID NOT HAVE THE PERSONAL FINANCIAL SKILLS THEY NEEDED.

>> HE HOPES THAT WILL CHANGE WITH THE PASSAGE OF THIS LEGISLATION.

>> OVER HALF A MILLION KIDS WILL GRADUATE WITH A PERSONAL FINANCE EDUCATION IN MY OPINION INCREDIBLE.

>> AS FOR IMPLEMENTING THE COURSE IN THE CLASSROOM, THERE ARE RESOURCES AVAILABLE AS WELL AS COMMUNITY PARTNERS.

>> THERE ARE SEVERAL NATIONAL NONPROFIT GROUPS WHO PROVIDE FREE CURRICULUM TO SCHOOLS ACROSS THE NATION.

>> WE HAVE HAD FINANCIAL INSTITUTIONS REACH OUT WILLING TO PARTNER WITH US TO CREATE CURRICULUM FOR THE KORSZS.

>> ALL WITH THE GOAL OF TEACHING TEENS HOW TO SPEND AND SAVE WISELY.

FOR "KENTUCKY EDITION" I'M LAURA ROGERS.

>> Renee: THANK YOU.

KENTUCKY IS NOW THE 27TH STATE TO REQUIRE A FINANCIAL LITERACY CREDIT FOR GRADUATION.

>>> WE TOLD YOU IN THE WEEK ABOUT A PLANNED U.S. SENATE VOTE ON I ARESOLUTION OPPOSING THE EMERGENCY LAW THAT ALLOWS PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP TO IMPOSE TARIFFS ON INCOMING GOODS.

THAT RESOLUTION FAILED TO PASS.

THE VOTE WAS 49-49 IT NEEDED 50 VOTES.

ONE OF THE COSPONSORS, RAND PAUL OF KENTUCKY SAYS AMERICA'S FOUNDING FATHERS DIDN'T INTEND FOR ONE PERSON TO HAVE THIS BROAD POWER.

>> IT SHOULD NOT COME AS A SURPRISE THAT A COUNTRY FOUNDED ON A TAX REVOLT ONE PERSON IS NOT ALLOWED TO RAISE TAXES.

OUR FOUNDING FATHERS SAW THIS AND SAID NO, WE WANT TO MAKE SURE THE AUTHORITY OF TAXATION BEGINS IN CONGRESS THAT IT ORIGINATES IN THE HOUSE.

THE BODY CLOSEST TO THE PEOPLE.

OUR CONSTITUTION FORBIDS TAXES FROM BEING ENACTED WITHOUT THE APPROVAL OF CONGRESS.

AND YET HERE WE ARE.

AN EMERGENCY HAS BEEN DECLARED.

AS THE SENATOR FROM VIRGINIA REMARKED EVERYWHERE THERE IS AN EMERGENCY EVERYWHERE.

SOUNDS LIKE AN EMERGENCY EVERYWHERE IS AN EMERGENCY NOWHERE.

BUT DESPITE THE CONSTITUTIONAL RESTRAINTS OR CON TRANTS ON EXECUTIVE POWER AMERICANS HAVE BEEN ORDERED TO PAY HIGHER TAXES IN THE FORM OF TARIFFS WITHOUT THE CONSENT OF CONGRESS.

>> Renee: U.S.

SENATOR MITCH McCONNELL A TARIFF CRITIC WAS NOT THERE FOR THE VOTE.

THE HILL WEBSITE REPORTS McCONNELL WAS ABSENT DUE TO ILLNESS.

[♪♪] OAKS DAY WAS TODAY RAINY DAY.

THE KENTUCKY DERBY IS TOMORROW AND IT LOOKS LIKE THE SAME.

BIG EVENTS CAN MEAN INCREASE IN HUMAN TRAFFICKING AS BIG NUMBERS OF OUT OF TOWN TOURISTS MEAN AN INCREASED INTEREST IN ILLEGAL ACTIVITIES.

YESTERDAY, LIEUTENANT GOVERNOR JACQUELINE COLEMAN TALKED ABOUT THE WARNING SIGNS OF HUMAN TRAFFICKING.

>> REMEMBER TO WATCH OUT FOR WARNING SIGNS.

IF YOU SEE SOMETHING, SAY SOMETHING.

TRAFFICKING VICTIMS MAY LOOK MALNOURISHED OR NERVOUS.

THEY MAY AVOID EYE CONTACT.

THEY MAY STAY SILENT OR LOOK AFRAID TO SPEAK OR SOMEONE ELSE MAYBE COACHING THEM WHAT TO SAY.

THEY MAY HAVE BRUISES OR SIGNS OF ABUSE AND THEY MAY THAT HAVE ACCESS TO THEIR OWN ID'S OR INCOME.

IF YOU HAVE INFORMATION TO SHARE WITH THE NORTHS PLEASE CALL OR TEXT THE NUMBER THAT WILL APPEAR ON THE SCREEN.

OR USE THE WEB CHAT AT HUMAN TRAFFICKING HOTLINE.ORG.

THESE LINES ARE ALL OPEN 24/7.

>> Renee: THE FAMILY AND CHILDREN'S CENTER SAYS THE KENTUCKY DERBY IS THE SECOND BIGGEST HUMAN TRAFFICKING EVENT IN THE UNITED STATES.

>>> ONE PLACE IN CHURCHILL DOWNS THAT CARRIES THE MOST STORIES MAY VERY WELL BE THE INFIELD.

FROM MUDSLIDES TO PORT-A-POT RACES THE INFIELD CARRIES ITS HISTORY AT THE RACETRACK.

THE ANNOUNCED RENOVATIONS WILL CHANGE THAT AREA BUT OUR CHRISTIE DUTTON EXPLAINS IT WON'T BE THE FIRST TIME.

>> IT'S THE FASTEST TWO MINUTES IN SPORTS AND IF YOU ARE LUCKY YOU COULD BE CASHING IN ON IT.

THE INFIELD HAS ALWAYS BEEN A PART OF THE KENTUCKY DERBY SINCE THE FIRST RACE IN 1875.

BUT BACK THEN IT WAS CALLED THE CENTER FIELD AND IT LOOKED DIFFERENT THAN IT DOES NOW.

>> IT WAS A MUCH MORE PARK LIKE ATMOSPHERE LOTS OF PEOPLE PICNICKING AND DRIVING CARRIAGES INTO THE INFIELD AND HAVING A TALLY HO AND SOCIALIZING.

>> AND TO GET TO THE INFIELD, YOU HAD TO CROSS THE TRACK WHICH, OF COURSE, FEELS LIKE SACRILEGE BECAUSE ONLY A FEW PEOPLE ARE ALLOWED ON THAT TRACK.

>> PEOPLE WERE ON THE RACETRACK AND THE HORSES TROTTED ACROSS THE INFIELD.

>> BACK IN THE OLD DAYS, YOU USED TO HAVE A PATH CUT THROUGH THE MIDDLE OF THE INFIELD WHERE THEY WOULD TAKE THE HORSES FROM THE BARN AREA AND WALK THROUGH THE INFIELD TO THE FRONT SIDE IN THE GRANDSTAND TO SADDLE IN THE PADDOCK.

YOU WALK THROUGH THE INFIELD ITSELF.

>> SOON EVERYONE WAS REROUTED AND ACCESS TO THE INFIELD WAS FOREVER CHANGED FROM THE GROUND UP.

>> THE TUNNELS THAT WE ARE FAMILIAR WITH NOW THAT GO UNDERNEATH THE TRACK WERE NOT THERE UNTIL 1937.

>> THROUGHOUT HISTORY, THE INFIELD HAS ALWAYS SADDLED UP TO SUPPORT THE WAR EFFORT.

TO EASE THE FOOD SHORTAGE IN 1918, THE INFIELD WAS FULL OF SPUDS RATHER THAN STUDS.

>> IT HAD A GARDEN OF POTATOES DURING WORLD WAR I.

>> IN THE 40s SOLDIERS WERE HOUSED IN THE INFIELD.

>> THERE WAS BARRACKS THERE AND ALSO GREAT PICTURES IN THAT WIND STANDING NEXT TO TANKS IN THE INFIELD.

>> AS THE SIGNING CHANGED THE INFIELD BECAME MORE ABOUT HORSING AROUND THAN HORSERACING.

>> AND THEN THE INFIELD THAT WE RECOGNIZE TODAY WHICH REALLY DIDN'T DEVELOP UNTIL THE 1970s.

BUT THAT SORT OF CRAZY PARTY THAT YOU HAVE TO COME AND EXPERIENCE WITH YOUR OWN EYES TO REALLY KNOW WHAT THAT'S LIKE.

WHEN I THINK OF THE INFIELD I THINK OF 1874 WITH THE 100TH KENTUCKY DERBY PEOPLE CLIMBING THE FLAG POLES, CLOSED OR UNCLOTHED.

>> FOR NOW, THE INFIELD STILL EMBRACES THE SPIRIT BUT THE UPCOMING CONSTRUCTION PROJECT AIMS TO TRANSFORM THE INFIELD EXPERIENCE WITH NEW STATE-OF-THE-ART BUILDINGS, PREMIUM SUITES AND ROOFTOP ACCESS.

>> WE HAVE 150-YEAR-OLD FACILITY.

YOU'VE GOT TO KEEP IT UP-TO-DATE AND WE'VE MODERNIZED IT AND PAY RESPECT TO OUR PAST, BUT WE'RE CONTINUING TO MOVE THE BALL FORWARD.

>> IT'S HARD TO IMAGINE A MILITARY CAMP OR POTATOES GROWING IN THE INFIELD AND FUTURE GENERATIONS MAY FIND IT HARD TO IMAGINE THE INFIELD THE WAY IT IS NOW.

IT IS ALWAYS GOING TO KEEP CHANGING.

I'M CHRISTIE DUTTON FOR INSIDE THE KENTUCKY DERBY.

>> Renee: THANK YOU SO MUCH KRISTY.

NOW BEFORE YOU BET ON THE RUN FOR THE ROSES YOU NEED TO KNOW YOUR OPTIONS.

KELSEY STARKS AND CHIP POLSTON BREAKDOWN A FEW OF THE COMMON AND NOT SO COMMON WAYS TO BET ON THE KENTUCKY DERBY.

>> WELL, A LOT OF FOLKS FANCIED THEMSELVES TO BE HANDICAPPERS THIS TIME OF YEAR, BUT MOST WANT TO PLACE A SIMPLE BET AT THE TRACK OR ON-LINE AND THAT IS JUST A LITTLE OVERWHELMING.

>> LET'S BREAK IT DOWN FOR FOLKS.

ALL YOU NEED TO KNOW IS WIN, PLACE AND SHOW.

A WIN BET MEANS THAT YOU'RE BETTING ON THAT HORSE TO WIN.

A PLACE BET MEANS IF YOUR HORSE FINISHES FIRST OR SECOND YOU WILL WIN.

OF AND A SHOW BET PAYS IF YOUR HORSE COMES IN IN ONE OF THE TOP THREE SPOTS.

>> AND HIGH-RISK MEANS HIGH REWARD.

HERE ARE OTHER WAYS YOU CAN PLACE A BET.

AN EXTRA TA.

FIRST AND SECOND IN THE RACE.

>> FIRST, SECOND AND THIRD THAT IS THE NAMED TRIFECTA WAGER.

>> A SUPERFECTA WAGER IS WHEN YOU CHOOSE THE HORSES 1-4 PLACES.

>> AND SUPER FANCY CHURCHILL OFFERS THE SUPER HIGH 5 WAGER REFERRED TO AS THE PENTA EFFECT TA BET THIS WAS OFFERED IN THE 2022 AND LAST YEAR A $1 BET HITTING ALL FIVE HORSES IN ORDER WOULD HAVE WON YOU $316,000.

KEEP IN MIND, YOU CAN BOX ANY OF THESE BETS WHICH MEANS YOU DON'T HAVE TO PICK IN THE CORRECT ORDER JUST THE HORSES IN THE SPOTS.

>> SEEMS SIMPLE ENOUGH.

>> EXACTLY.

>> Renee: SEEMS SIMPLE ENOUGH, INDEED.

A TRADITION OF THE KENTUCKY DERBY A SLICE OF DERBY PIE GOOD AT ANYTIME.

IT IS A CHOCOLATE NUT PIE CREATED FROM A FAMILY RECIPE IN LOUISVILLE MORE THAN 70 YEARS AGO.

KERN'S KITCHEN HOLDS THE TRADEMARK FOR THE DERBY PIE AND THE FIRST TIME IN 50 YEARS, THE COMPANY'S PAY TREE ARC ALAN RUPP WON'T BE THE BAKERY FOR THIS YEAR'S DERBY SEASON.

AS KELSEY STARKS EXPLAINS THE FAMILY TRADITION CONTINUES.

>> KERN'S KITCHEN IS AS KENTUCKY AS, WELL, DERBY PIE.

>> 1954, OUR GREAT GRANDPARENTS WALTER AND LEANDRA AND THEIR SON GEORGE WERE AT THE MELROSE INN AND WANTED A DESSERT THAT WAS SPECIAL TO THE RESTAURANT.

SO THEY INVENTED DERBY PIE.

>> WHEN THE KERN'S CAME UP WITH THE RECIPE A WARM CHOCOLATE NUT PIE THEY KNEW IT WAS GOOD BUT THEY DIDN'T KNOW WHAT TO CALL IT.

FAMILY LEGEND IS THEY DREW THE WINNING NAME OUT OF A HAT.

AND ON TO THE WINNER'S CIRCLE IT WENT.

MOVING FROM ITS HUMBLE BEGINNINGS TO BECOME ITS OWN PHENOMENON.

THE NAME DERBY PIE WAS OFFICIALLY TRADEMARKED IN 1969.

>> SOLIDIFIED OUR PLACE IN THE COMMUNITY AND THE HISTORY OF KENTUCKY AND THE DERBY AND PEOPLE JUST WHEN THEY THOUGHT HEY I WANT TO SEND A GIFT OR SHOW SOMEONE WHAT KENTUCKY TASTES LIKE THEY THINK KERN'S KITCHEN DERBY PIE.

>> OUR PIE SAYS KERN'S KITCHEN ON THE CRUST.

IF THEY CALL IT A DERBY PIE THAT'S HOW YOU KNOW IT'S NOT OURS.

>> IT IS A SECRET RECIPE.

THERE'S ONLY FOUR PEOPLE.

>> I THINK FIVE.

>> THERE IS A HANDFUL OF PEOPLE.

>> THAT KNOW THE SECRET RECIPE RIGHT NOW.

>> WALTER'S DAUGHTER MARRIED FRANK RUPP AND THEY HAD A SON ALAN WHO WENT ON TO TAKEOVER THE BUSINESS IN THE EARLY 80s.

KERN'S KITCHEN WENT FROM MAKING THREE TO SIX PIES COOLING ON THE PORCH TO 10 TO 20 PIES SELLING TO RESTAURANTS AND DISTRIBUTORS.

TODAY KERN'S KITCHEN BAKES 240 PIES THE A TIME.

ABOUT 100,000 EVERY YEAR.

HALF OF THAT IN THE WEEKS LEADING UP TO THE KENTUCKY DERBY.

BUT DERBY 150 WOULD BE ALAN RUPP'S LAST.

HE DIED UP EXPECTEDLY AT THE AGE OF 70 IN JUNE OF 2024.

>> YOU SEE HOW MUCH OF A PILLAR OF THE COMMUNITY HE WAS.

JUST FROM HOW MUCH PEOPLE HAVE RALLIED AROUND US.

PEOPLE THAT I'VE NEVER MET BEFORE BUT THEY JUST LOVED HIM AND RESPECTED HIM AS SOMEBODY THAT TRULY SHOWED HOSPITALITY AND JUST LOVE FOR HIS CITY AND HIS STATE.

>> IT LEFT HIS THREE CHILDREN ABOUT THE FUTURE OF KERN'S KITCHEN HOME OF THE DERBY PIE.

>> WE WANT TO REPRESENT KENTUCKY WELL WE'VE BEEN AROUND FOR 70 YEARS AND I WANT TO KEEP TRUE TO OUR RECIPE SO WE'RE GOING TO KEEP HAND CRACKING YOUR EGGS AND PUTTING OUT A QUALITY PRODUCT THAT REPRESENTS KENTUCKY WELL.

>> BUT IT HASN'T BEEN EASY THE PRICE OF INGREDIENTS HAS GONE UP AND THE BAKERY WAS FEET AWAY FROM BEING HIT BY A TORNADO IN THE WEEKS BEFORE DERBY BUT THE FAMILY REMAINS TO CONTINUE THE FAMILY'S LEGACY WHICH IS A LOT MORE THAN DERBY PIES.

>> I THINK THE BIGGEST THING HE TAUGHT ME WAS JUST THAT MAKE PEOPLE FEEL WELCOMED.

HE NEVER MET A STRANGER.

>> WE FOUND NOTES WHERE HE WOULD CONNECT WITH PEOPLE AND REMEMBER THEIR NAMES AND LIVES AND ABLE TO HAVE THAT LONG-LASTING RELATIONSHIP WITH ANYBODY AT THAT TIME HE RAN INTO.

IT GOES A LONG WAY.

PEOPLE LOVE TO CONNECT AND MY DAD WAS GREAT AT THAT.

>> I THINK HE WOULD BE PROUD THAT WE RALLIED TOGETHER AND YOU KNOW, EVEN THOUGH HE'S NOT HERE WE'RE CONTINUING WHAT HE BUILT.

>> ALREADY MY OLDEST IS NINE YEARS OLD AND HE IS EXCITED TO COME IN HERE AND WORK AND HELP OUT AND ASK MY KID WHAT IS THEY WANTED TO DO WHEN THEY GROW UP, AND REMY SAID I WANT TO WORK AT THE DERBY PIE COMPANY WITH YOU AND THAT IS A SPECIAL THING THAT THAT IS STILL POSSIBLE WE ARE THANKFUL AND GRATEFUL JUST TO BE HERE AND CONTINUING THE LEGACY.

>> Renee: WHAT A FAMILY LEGACY, INDEED.

DERBY PIE IS ONE OF THE MANY TRADITIONS THAT GO ALONG WITH THE GREATEST TWO MINUTES AND SPORTS YOU CAN LEARN MORE WHEN KELSEY STARKS AND CHIP POLSTON TAKE YOU INSIDE THE KENTUCKY DERBY ON "INSIDE LOUISVILLE" -- IT'S AIRED YOU CAN SEE IT ON-LINE AND ON DEMAND AT KET.ORG.

[♪♪] LAST NIGHT WE INTRODUCED TO YOU A COMMUNICATIONS GURU WHO SPECIALIZES IN CRISIS MANAGEMENT, ANGELA BILLINGS IS THE COMMUNICATIONS DIRECTOR FOR THE KENTUCKY SENATE REPUBLICANS.

BUT IN A PREVIOUS LIFE SHE WAS A SPOKESPERSON FOR THE U.S. AIR FORCE AND PROVIDED EXECUTIVE LEADERSHIP COACHING.

SHE IS THE AUTHOR OF "COMMAND THE CRISIS", NAVIGATE CHAOS WITH BATTLE TESTED PUBLIC RELATIONS AND COMMUNICATION STRATEGIES.

HERE IS MORE AS WE CONTINUE OUR NEW SEGMENT CALLED TURNING THE PAGE.

BECAUSE OF ALL OF YOUR YEARS OF EXPERIENCE WITH THE MILITARY AND NOW, YOU ARE ON A DIFFERENT BATTLEFIELD IN THE STATE CAPITOL.

>> YES, IT'S THE CLOSEST THING TO COMBAT SINCE I WAS IN AFGHANISTAN SINCE 2006 AND 7.

>> Renee: IT SUMS UP THE BOOK IS IF YOU HAVE A C.E.O.

CAUGHT EMBEZZLING OR THE QUESTIONS NOT JUST HYPOTHETICALS THINGS HAPPEN IN REAL-LIFE DO YOU KNOW HOW TO MANAGE A CRISIS.

WHAT DOES THE BOOK TELL LEADERS TO HAVE IN PLACE IN ORDER WHEN A CRISIS DOES COME HAD TO HANDLE IT AND OVERCOME IT?

>> SURE.

HALF OF BUSINESSES DON'T THINK ABOUT THE RISK THAT THEY ARE PUTTING THEMSELVES AT BY NOT PLANNING FOR A CRISIS BEFORE IT HAPPENS.

SO I'VE TAKEN BY BOOK AND ADDED MY PERSONAL EXPERIENCES AND MY PERSONAL BRAND OF CRISIS COMMUNICATION.

AND PROVIDED REALLY SOME FRAMEWORK WITH WHICH A COMPANY CAN THINK ABOUT A CRISIS, WHAT IS YOUR MOST LIKELY SCENARIO AND YOUR WORST CASE SCENARIO THAT YOU WOULD NEVER WANT TO SEE IN A HEADLINE YOU NEED TO PREPARE.

IDENTIFY WHO IS ON THE CRISIS TEAM BECAUSE YOU ARE GOING TO NEED A COMMUNICATOR.

THE C.E.O.

OR THE PRESIDENT IS LIKELY GOING TO BE AND SHOULD BE INVOLVED.

PERHAPS IT DOES INVOLVE AN ATTORNEY OR TWO.

I'VE WORKED WITH A FAIR NUMBER OF THOSE.

AND GALVANIZING THAT TEAM AND MAKING IT A PRIORITY SO THAT WHEN SOMETHING BAD HAPPENS YOU HAVE A FRAMEWORK IN PLACE SO THAT YOU CAN STEP IN AND OWN YOUR NARRATIVE.

BECAUSE IN TODAY'S WORLD, WITH SOCIAL MEDIA A CRISIS CAN HAPPEN IN AN INSTANT.

YOU DON'T TAKE THAT SERIOUSLY YOU MIGHT BE CAUGHT FLATFOOTED.

>> Renee: AS WE OFTEN HEARD SAYS IT TAKES 25 YEARS TO BUILD A REPUTATION AND FIVE SECONDS TO LOSE IT.

>> ABSOLUTELY.

>> Renee: PEOPLE THINK THAT COMMUNICATION SPECIALISTS ARE SPIN DOCTORS NOT ABOUT TRANSPARENCY AND SUNLIGHT BUT ABOUT WHAT IS THE THING THAT IS GOING TO GET US THE BEST FAVOR AND THE BEST PRESS IS THAT AN UNFAIR DEPICTION?

>> I'VE NEVER REALLY LIKED THAT TERM.

>> Renee: SPIN DOCTOR.

>> BECAUSE, I REALLY WHEN I JOIN AN ORGANIZATION, AND EVERY MOVE THAT I MADE IN THE AIR FORCE, YOU'VE GOT TO LEARN A LITTLE BIT ABOUT THE ORGANIZATION THAT YOU ARE WORKING FOR.

THAT'S ONE OF THE BENEFITS OF BEING A COMMUNICATOR I GET TO TOUCH UPON A NUMBER OF DIFFERENT LINES OF BUSINESS OR DIFFERENT DIVISIONS WITHIN A LARGER CORPORATION.

SO I'M NOT A BIG SPIN DOCTOR.

BUT I AM EDUCATED AND I'M ENGAGED.

>> Renee: AND YOU'RE STRATEGIC.

>> .

>> I ABSOLUTELY AM STRATEGIC BECAUSE SOMETIMES SAYING NOTHING IS BETTER.

OR BEING VERY MEASURED WITH WHAT YOU SAY.

SO I AN THE PEOPLE THAT I'VE WORKED WITH WE OFTEN HAVE TO DISTILL DOWN INFORMATION TO PRESENT TO THE PUBLIC WHILE ALSO SOMETIMES PROTECTING WHETHER IT'S CLASSIFIED OR SENSITIVE INFORMATION, IF IT'S WITH A CORPORATION THERE ARE BRANDING AND TRADE SECRETS THAT YOU HAVE TO PROTECT.

BUT YOU ALSO GET AN OPPORTUNITY TO PRESENT YOUR BEST CASE AND EXPLAIN IN A MATTER OF A CRISIS, PERHAPS WHAT HAPPENED, WHAT DID YOU LEARN FROM THAT CRISIS AND HOW YOU ARE REFINING YOUR PROCESS IN ORDER FOR THAT NOT TO HAPPEN AGAIN.

>> Renee: AS YOU LOOK AT THE COMMUNICATORS NOT JUST YOU WORK WITH BUT WHO DO YOU ADMIRE AS A COMMUNICATOR AND SAY THAT PERSON GETS IT RIGHT NINE TIMES OUT OF 10?

>> OH, WOW THAT IS A GREAT QUESTION, RENEE.

I WISH WE TALKED ABOUT THIS BEFOREHAND.

YOU KNOW, I THINK THAT THERE ARE A NUMBER OF PEOPLE WHO DO IT WELL.

AS I CONSIDER THOSE THAT I'VE LOOKED AT THERE ARE A NUMBER OF PASTORS, PREACHERS THAT I ADMIRE BECAUSE OF THEIR ABILITY TO READ A LOT OF BOOKS AND EXPLAIN THE MESSAGE TO US.

BEN STEWART IS ONE I LISTEN TO IN THE MORNING.

I THINK THAT SIMON SENTIC HAS DONE AN EXTRAORDINARY JOB AS A COMMUNICATOR AND RENEE BROWN IS ANOTHER ONE THAT I DO ADMIRE HOW SHE AFTER BEING A RESEARCHER FOR 20 SOME ODD YEARS THEN SHE WAS ABLE TO SHIFT THAT FOCUS AND COMMUNICATE VERY EFFECTIVELY AND LEVERAGE THE PLATFORMS WE HAVE AVAILABLE TO US.

SO THOSE ARE A FEW OF MY FAVORITES.

>> Renee: ANGELA BILLINGS DID A TED TALK IN LOUISVILLE ABOUT THE LIBERATION OF THE WOMEN OF AFGHANISTAN.

AND YOU CAN FIND THAT ON YouTube.
