New Global Coalition Responds with 1 Million+ Face Shields and Counting

HEBRON, Ky. /ScoopCloud/ -- FiberShield.org, a new international coalition of paper and packaging companies, founded by Ed Zumbiel of Zumbiel Packaging, Hebron, Kentucky and Andreas Keller, of Pawi, Switzerland, in response to the PPE shortage, has, in less than a month manufactured more than 1 million face shields to help protect those on the frontlines fighting COVID-19.

Ed Zumbiel reports that the majority of those shields have been donated to medical professionals and first responders. Production continues and will until there is no longer a need. The FiberShield organization has grown quickly and now counts more than 50 paper and packaging member companies worldwide.

This all began when Ed Zumbiel heard about 3D printed shields being produced to help medical professionals in New York City - but production was limited to only 5,000 units daily. Ed Zumbiel knew Zumbiel Packaging could produce an effective, single-use shield in much greater quantities - literally thousands more per hour.

To encourage widespread participation Zumbiel and Pawi have donated the patent-pending technical specifications, royalty-free for the face shields through 2020, to any packaging company willing to donate the first 100,000 units. Ed Zumbiel reports several coalition members have already far exceeded the minimum donation requirement.

Governor Matt Bevin Signs Proclamation Declaring May Lyme Disease Awareness Month in Kentucky

FRANKFORT, Ky. /ScoopCloud/ -- The Governor of Kentucky, Matt Bevin, officially declared May 2019 as Lyme Disease awareness month all across the state. Patient advocate Christina Kovacs lead the charge to raise awareness for the disease after battling late stage Lyme disease herself. Kovacs worked with Bevin and his office to draft an official statewide Proclamation which was signed into effect this year.

The effects of Lyme Disease can be debilitating when left untreated, making it vitally important to catch the disease in the acute stage and get proper treatment. Cases of the disease are on the ride, with the CDC stating at least 300,000 new cases a year.

"With Lyme Disease, prevention is key," commented Kovacs. "Ticks are the most active in the Spring and Summer, so it's vital to wear proper tick repellant when spending time outdoors and to also do a full body tick check when coming back inside."

Signs of Lyme Disease include a bullseye rash, fever, muscle aches, bell's palsy and flu like symptoms. If any of these are spotted it's recommended to seek medical attention immediately and request Lyme disease testing

About Christina Kovacs:
Christina Kovacs is a patient advocate who was diagnosed with neurological Lyme disease in 2011, and made it her mission to educate Kentuckians about this rapidly growing disease. Kovacs' acute Lyme disease infection was initially missed by Doctors, which led to a late-stage diagnosis years later that was more aggressive and difficult to treat. Kovacs became bed-bound for years and underwent many difficult treatments, which fueled her passion for patient advocacy. Kovacs now works closely with fellow patients and organizations alike to spread awareness and raise money for research. She's partnered with local hospital Kings Daughters Medical Center to help give medical items to patients in need, as well as larger scale organizations such as Global Lyme Alliance and The LymeLight Foundation who provides treatment grants to children in need.

Moonlite Bar-B-Que Inn Unveils New Wine – Pit Master Reserve

OWENSBORO, Ky. /ScoopCloud/ -- Two years in the making and the Moonlite Bar-B-Que Inn is now ready to unveil a new sweet red wine that pairs perfectly with its award-winning barbecue. It's called Pit Master Reserve and it's produced by the most award-winning Kentucky winery too. It'll make you swoon at the moon.

"We've spent the past two years working to find a winery that we could partner with and we found that partner in Purple Toad Winery," Patrick Bosley, co-owner of the Moonlite Bar-B-Que Inn, says. "We're excited that it's a local connection. Two Kentucky traditions have come together."

Pit Master Reserve is produced and bottled in Kentucky. It's a sweet red wine (four on the sweetness scale) and derived from Purple Toad's own fruits - Lauren's Blackberry and Paducah Blue.

The tasting and selection process took a while, but Moonlite Bar-B-Que Inn finally found the perfect blend to accompany its hickory-smoked barbecue. It pairs well with their award-winning mutton and pit dip too.

"It's not a snobby wine, but a country wine that's fit for the best barbecue around. You won't hear the symphony play as you sip it, but you may catch a whisper of the banjo or the wail of the fiddle. It's sure to evoke the echoes of Bill Monroe, Patsy Cline and Elvis Presley singing, 'Blue Moon of Kentucky'," Bosley says. "It's kind of like drinking your granddad's homemade wine."

Pit Master Reserve will be distributed by Purple Toad Distributing (270-554-0010) look for it wherever Purple Toad products are carried. It's also available by the bottle or glass in the dining room at Moonlite-Bar-B-Que Inn.

About Moonlite Bar-B-Que Inn:

A Kentucky tradition since 1963, Moonlite Bar-B-Que Inn meats are personally selected for quality and placed in their custom built hickory-fired pits. Meats are cooked low and slow, giving them that distinctive hickory flavor. For more information: https://www.moonlite.com/ or https://www.facebook.com/MoonliteBarBQ.

Moonlite Bar-B-Que Inn Tops ‘Best of’ Lists – Legacy Continues

OWENSBORO, Ky. /ScoopCloud/ -- The Moonlite Bar-B-Que Inn has been in business for more than 55 years and continues to make headlines in the world of barbecue. While some may sit on their laurels after more than half century, Moonlite Bar-B-Que knows that you always have to be on top of your game.

"We don't take our reputation for granted," Patrick Bosley, co-owner of the Moonlite Bar-B-Que Inn, says. "We have a legacy and heritage to maintain and we work on getting better every day."

And, those efforts pay off. Year after year, this western Kentucky establishment manages to top "best of" lists in multiple capacities.

For instance, just last year, it topped CNN's list, "15 of the World's Happiest Places" and this past March, it found its way to the top of Southern Living's "The South's Best BBQ Joint in Every State 2018" and MSN's "The 50 Best Barbecue Joints in America."

One thing that sets this barbecue joint apart from others is its buffet and long-standing tradition of barbecuing mutton. The Bosleys have been cooking it since 1963 in the old fashioned Kentucky tradition. The burgoo, a kind of regional stew, is also made with mutton.

So, while its barbecue methods remain the same, its ability to remain constantly relevant in a quickly changing world, have not.

With more than 120 staff members, Moonlite has grown as a family business from a 30-seat roadside restaurant to one that now accommodates 350 seats; a USDA inspected processing plant; and an extensive catering department, wholesale division and carryout department. The staff works together to keep things going and growing at a slow and steady rate.

"We couldn't be more pleased that our brand continues to get recognition - year after year. And, we're coming up on one of our favorite months - May - 'National BBQ Month.' Let's see what happens then," Bosley says.

Moonlite Bar-B-Q-Inn Celebrates Read Across America through Community Outreach Project

OWENSBORO, Ky. /ScoopCloud/ -- March 2 is designated "Read Across America" day by the National Education Association, and the Moonlite Bar-B-Q-Inn is taking it one step further. It's partnering with the University Press of Kentucky and the Daviess County Public Library to host community reading events every Monday night in March.

"We love the idea of 'Read across America' and wanted to do something that would bring the community together," Patrick Bosley, manager of the Moonlite Bar-B-Q-Inn, says.

So, during each Monday night in March from 5:30 p.m. to 8 p.m., the Moonlite Bar-B-Q-Inn will host Kentucky authors:

* March 6: Stephen Vest, editor of "Kentucky Monthly."

* March 13: Wes Berry, author of "The Kentucky Barbecue Book."

* March 20: Louis Hatchett, author of "Duncan Hines: How a Traveling Salesman Became the Most Trusted Name in Food," and editor of "The Dessert Book" and "Adventures in Good Cooking," both by Duncan Hines.

* March 27: Mike Norris, author of the children's book, "Mommy Goose: Rhymes from the Mountains;" and Deirdre A. Scaggs, author of "The Historic Kentucky Kitchen: Traditional Recipes for Today's Cook."

"These are all accomplished authors and editors and we're thrilled to have the ability to showcase them through this community outreach project," Bosley says.

Wes Berry is the author of the "Kentucky Barbecue Book." He has feasted at more than 175 Kentucky barbecue places and judged competitions. He teaches American literature at Western Kentucky University and edits a blog "Wes Berry Living."

Louis Hatchett is the author of "Duncan Hines: How a Traveling Salesman Became the Most Trusted Name in Food" and editor of two of Hines' classic cookbooks, "Adventures in Good Cooking" and "The Dessert Book." He is also editor of "Mencken's Americana" and co-author of "The Continuing Crisis: As Chronicled for Four Decades by R. Emmett Tyrrell, Jr."

Mike Norris has been writing stories, poems and songs for more than 40 years. His songs have been recorded by country, folk and bluegrass musicians. Most recently he wrote, "Mother Goose Rhymes from the Mountains," and has won several national awards. He's also the author of two other children's books - "Sonny the Monkey" and "Bright Blue Rooster."

Deirdre Scaggs is associate dean of the University of Kentucky Libraries Special Collections Research Center and the author of "Women in Lexington" and "The Historic Kentucky Kitchen."

Moonlite Bar-B-Q-Inn is one of 15 Happiest Places in World Says CNN

OWENSBORO, Ky. /ScoopCloud/ -- When Patrick Bosley, manager of the Moonlite Bar-B-Q-Inn, learned that their heritage barbeque restaurant was named as one of 15 of the world's happiest places in not just the state, but the world, he was equally surprised as he was thrilled.

On January 16, CNN released a list "15 of the World's Happiest Places" and Moonlite Bar-B-Q-Inn was among them. The writer, Griffin Shea, reported that this fourth-generation, family-owned barbeque joint quite simply "tastes like home."

"We have no idea how we came to be part of this list," Bosley says. "A CNN reporter contacted us a few months back, but I had no idea where it was going to lead. We're honored and I'm planning to reach out to others on the list to share my congratulations with them too."

And apparently Griffin is not alone in her opinion. The Moonlite Bar-B-Q-Inn has been making people smile for more than 50 years. It's become a Kentucky tradition that serves up a very non-traditional ingredient - mutton.

Mutton, or aged lamb, has declined in popularity over the years because it takes time - something many people are short on these days. However, the folks at Moonlite Bar-B-Q continue to rely on this slow-cook method which happens over its hickory burning pit. After 12 hours, guests enjoy fall-off the bone mutton - a signature item that has brought them to world fame.

What else sets this place apart? Its barbeque buffet. According to "Gourmet Magazine," it's "spectacular" and "puts Owensboro barbeque in a class by itself."

The restaurant seats 350 guests and serves about 350,000 meals per year and its hand-built barbeque pit is equivalent to the size of four mid-sized cars stacked together. Yet, despite the volume, the place maintains its family vibe and warm atmosphere.

"We've become a dining destination," Bosley, says. "It's pretty incredible. President Bill Clinton has even indulged here."

Bosley adds that it was pretty humbling to be included on a list of the world's happiest places. Others that made the grade included Health Land Spa and Massage in Bangkok; Mary, a chocolate shop in Brussels; Ulva Island in New Zealand; Casablanca Valley in Chile; and more.
