LEXINGTON, Ky. (LEX 18) â With the school year coming to a close, Kentucky Blood Center is offering donors an opportunity to save lives and ride the rides this summer.
Anyone who donates blood at KBCâs Andover or Beaumont centers May 13-15 will get a free ticket to Kings Island Amusement Park in Cincinnati. The pass is good for use during the 2021 season.
âLast summer, the pandemic kept lots of folks from participating in their fun summer activities,â said Mandy Brajuha, vice president of external relations. âWeâre offering local thrill-seekers a chance to save the life of a neighbor in need and enjoy two great thrills as a result.â
Timothy Kelly passed away 2021-5-3 in Lexington, Kentucky. This is the full obituary story where you can express condolences and share memories. Services by Milward Funeral & Cremation Service - Man O War.
Kelly had been diagnosed with cancer, the newspaper said.
âThe Herald-Leader, that was his pride and joy,â said Kellyâs son, Kevin. âHe never lost his love for the paper and the people who worked there.â
Kelly oversaw Pulitzer Prize-winning work at the Herald-Leader as well as The Denver Post and the Orange County Register in southern California.
In 1991, Kelly became editor of the Lexington paper, which won its second Pulitzer the following year for a series of editorials that led to significant reforms in how Kentucky police and courts handled domestic-violence cases. The paper won another Pulitzer in 2000 for editorial cartooning, while Kelly was publisher.
