Happy Thursday Everyone,
I can't believe tomorrow is October 1st. October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month. Margaret Mary Health is asking all of us to paint our windows Pink. I am already seeing a lot of Paint the Town Pink decorations going on around town. You still have time to participate too.
We would like to congratulate the Lady Bulldogs Golf Team! They are heading to State Finals this weekend. They will be leaving Batesville High School (in the back of the school) at 5:30 pm today for the State Finals. If you have time, stop out and wish them luck.
We would like to thank all of our members for their support of the Chamber over the years. Stop by on Thursday, October 21st for our annual Membership Appreciation Day! We will be offering a 10% discount on your 2022 membership that day only. You can pay that day or sign a commitment letter to be invoiced later. Stop in and see what we have been up to and how we can take advantage of our membership benefits.
The Chamber is a business resource hub to assist you. If we can't help you, we will find someone that can.
Ripley County is still in ORANGE this week. RCHD is continuing to see a significant rise in COVID-19 cases and rapid spread throughout the community. For more information please visit the Ripley County Health Department Facebook and Website for all the most current updates.il

Today T-Mobile announces Batesville, Ind. as one of the 25 small towns winning Hometown Grants to jumpstart vital community development projects to re-energize these towns and build upon what makes them unique.
Batesville Main Street's $50,000 grant award will go towards the design and completion of Inspiration Park, in commemoration of 2020โs 100th anniversary of the Womenโs Suffrage Movement, honoring the rich legacy of women who have shown vision and tenacity to become significant contributors to the Batesville Community.
Hometown Grants are part of the Un-carrierโs massive commitment to bring 5G to rural America. Over the next five years, T-Mobile plans to hire 7,500 new employees in small towns and rural communities and provide $25 million in grants for community development projects. Earlier this month the Un-carrier unveiled the FIRST Hometown Techover winner, Woodstock, Ill. which will receive a prize package worth $3M and become the crown jewel of 5G for small towns across America. And today, 25 additional well-deserving small towns will snag a grant to improve their communities.
T-Mobile Hometown Grants is just one of the many initiatives underscoring T-Mobileโs commitment to rural America. More than just bringing wireless, T-Mobile wants to be part of the community and help small towns thrive.
โThank you for the generous grant to Batesville Main Street to help shine a light on women's history. They have worked very hard to create a new park that will highlight the local women that have shaped our community. It will also offer a place where citizens and visitors can come together to work, live, and engage with one another.โ Mayor Mike Bettice, City of Batesville
โWe are extremely grateful to T-Mobile for this generous grant, which will allow our Inspiration Park outdoor gathering space to finally come to fruition after over a year of planning and a lot of teamwork between Main Street and the City of Batesville. This space will not only give visitors to our downtown district a safe outdoor space to gather, we hope it will serve as inspiration to our next generation of young visionary women. The green space, seating area, sculpture and shade will provide a great place to sit and learn the history of women who shaped the heart of our city.โ
Tina Longstreth, Executive Director, Batesville Main Street

Governor Holcomb - 2021 Bill Watch |
|
Enrolled acts signed by the Speaker of the House and the President Pro Tempore are sent to the Office of the Lt. Governor for signature, are then returned to the Office of the Secretary of the Senate (for Senate Enrolled Acts) or the Clerk of the House of Representatives (for House Enrolled Acts), and then go to the Office of the Governor. From there, the Governor reviews all legislation and has seven days to sign or veto the bill. If he does not sign it, it automatically becomes law on the eighth day after receipt. |

Although the Ripley Co. and Franklin Co. statuses remain unchanged this week, we did see a decrease in the positivity rate for both counties, with the Ripley Co. COVID seven-day positivity rate now at 10.27% ('ORANGE' status) and Franklin Co. COVID seven-day positivity rate at 20.08% ('RED' status).
๐๐บ๐ฒ๐ฟ๐ด๐ฒ๐ป๐ฐ๐ ๐๐ฒ๐ฝ๐ฎ๐ฟ๐๐บ๐ฒ๐ป๐
Our Emergency Department continues to see above-average patient volumes, resulting in longer patient wait times to be seen and treated. We encourage individuals seeking COVID-19 testing who are asymptomatic (whether it is needed to attend an event, return to school/work, etc.) to find another testing site so our Providers and staff can focus on treating ill patients. We also want to remind patients you should never delay care. If you are having chest pain, stroke symptoms, intense and unusual pain, please seek medical attention. We are here to help and delaying care can have severe consequences.
๐๐ป๐ฝ๐ฎ๐๐ถ๐ฒ๐ป๐ ๐๐ฎ๐ฟ๐ฒ
We currently have 25 patients on our Med/Surg floor, with three of those patients in our Special Care Unit. Thirteen of our patients are COVID+ (positive) with two of those on ventilators. The average age of our hospitalized COVID+ patients since the beginning of August continues to trend around 60, although we are seeing more hospitalized patients in their 40s in the last week. The total percent of our hospitalized COVID+ patients since August 1 who were not vaccinated is 86%. See charts below for more details.
๏ปฟ๐ง๐ฒ๐๐๐ถ๐ป๐ด
Testing for COVID-19 has stayed steady from the previous week, with 40 patients who tested positive and a current positivity rate of 23.5%. See chart below for more details on testing results. MMH can provide testing for symptomatic patients at our Main Campus Lab with an order from your primary care provider.
