Before his show at the KFC Yum Center in Louisville four years ago, Garth Brooks took the time to have a little concert with Evansville's own, Mikey Phernetton.

During his daily COVID-19 press conference, he gave a few shout outs to kids around the state who understand what needs to be done, who 'get it' and 5 year old Norah celebrated to her video asking people to stay home.

It's the most time they've spent together in years.

We taked to Dr. Jim Schroeder, PhD, the Vice President of Psychology & Wellness at Easter Seals Rehabilitation Center, to help guide us thought these difficult, uncharted parenting waters.

The group Owensboro Women Living Socially (OWLS) hosted a drive-through prayer vigil at Owensboro Health Regional Hospital. It was a beautiful and touching show of support for the heroic healthcare workers and patients during the COVID-19 crisis.

99.5 WKDQ wants to give you the opportunity to give Essential Workers a shoutout. Thank the individuals you know and care about or give shoutouts to groups or specific professions. Let them know you care and that you support them.

We are in the middle of the second week where kids are out of the classrooms and e-learning. Many students in the Tri-State are missing their teachers, and teachers are missing their students.

People all of the world and even right here in the Tristate are becoming helpers. They are finding ways to help all of us get through these difficult times. Some, like my beautiful friend, Dana, are using their God given gift of music and creativity to give us hope and peace.

Together, we WILL get through this crisis. Just like the Evansville Police Chief, Billy Bolin, does on a daily basis, today he out did himself. Today he said want we needed to hear. His kind, gentle, true words were his superpower today.

Who wants to quarantine and chill with their friends?

Think you might need help to remain happy through this quarantine AND stay married when it ends and life goes back to some kind of normal? Enter, Dr. Phil with some great ones!

This morning, I just focused on the good of social media. I looked for the helpers. The ones who aren't sitting around complaining, but are doing what needs to be done and HELPING others too.
