Murray popcorn business catches fire

A fire badly damaged a popcorn production business in Murray Tuesday morning.

According to the Murray Police Department in Calloway County, firefighters are on the scene of a business fire in town.

Police say it is the Ellis Popcorn building that caught fire.

Emergency crews were called to the scene at 5 a.m.

Owner Ann Ellis says she was called at 5:15 a.m.  She says the first shift does not begin until 7 a.m., so no one was in the building. 

Much of the building was damaged in the fire.  There are corn bins that were not damaged in the fire.  The offices of Tri-State Safety Management are also in the building.

Ellis Popcorn has been in it's current location for 25 years and has been in business for 64 years.

Ky. ranked 22nd for drivers most likely to hit a deer

(KFVS) - According to claims data from State Farm, Kentucky is ranked 22nd in the list of states where a driver is most likely to hit a deer.

While Kentucky is ranked 22nd, West Virginia tops the list for the fifth year in a row. Iowa is second, followed by South Dakota, Pennsylvania, Michigan, Montana, Wisconsin, Minnesota, North Dakota and Wyoming. According to State Farm, the state least likely to have deer-car collisions is Hawaii.

According to the data collected by the insurance company, the number of deer-car collisions in the U.S. has dropped. Using claims data, they estimate 1.09 million collisions between deer and car occurred in the U.S. between July 1, 2010 and June 30, 2011. State Farm says this is 9 percent less than three years ago and 7 percent less than one year ago.

The data shows that a deer-car collision is most likely to happen in November, the heart of deer migration and mating season.

Free health screenings for women

Free health screenings for women

(KFVS) - In support of Breast Cancer Awareness Month, Sam's Club announced they will be offering free women's health screenings.

On Saturday, Oct. 8 from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m., every Sam's Club Pharmacy will be offering all women, members and non-members, free and simple tests that check thyroid health.

“The estimated number of people with undiagnosed thyroid disease may be 10 percent. For women, the risk is even higher. A woman faces as high as a one in five chance of developing thyroid problems during her lifetime, and that risk increases with age and for those with a family history of thyroid problems,” said Jill Turner-Mitchael, senior vice president, Sam’s Club Health and Wellness. “Our free thyroid screenings are a quick and easy way for women to make sure their bodies are functioning and will continue to function in a healthy way.”

The free screenings will include a TSH test, blood pressure and BMI tests.
