Here are the top three stories in Bowling Green today:

1. A young Bowling Green resident, Camilla, celebrated her birthday by collecting donations from the community for the Bowling Green Humane Society, opting for pet supplies instead of toys and money. The generous donation included much-needed items like food and cleaning supplies, helping the Humane Society reduce costs during a financially challenging time. The shelter, which houses around 1,000 animals, expressed gratitude for Camilla's selflessness and highlighted the significance of community support for nonprofit organizations dealing with inflationary pressures.

2. New research conducted by Dr. Rachel Sayko Adams and her team revealed that women aged 35 and above who haven't had children are at the highest risk of developing alcohol use disorder (AUD), and excessive drinking among women has increased across various age groups. The findings emphasize the need for awareness of the health risks associated with excessive alcohol consumption, including breast cancer, alcohol-related injuries, and liver and heart disease. Bowling Green and the state of Kentucky are witnessing a concerning increase in AUD among women, highlighting the importance of taking action to manage the disorder, as untreated AUD can lead to premature death.

3. Storm damage was reported across the Southcentral Kentucky area after severe storms struck on Sunday night, with trees knocked down in Smiths Grove and vehicles damaged. Property damage was also observed at Grant's Farm Produce due to the severe weather. Power lines were affected, but restoration efforts are underway. (WBKO)
