LOUISVILLE, Ky. Holding a check reminiscent of Publishers Clearing House commercials, Jefferson County Public Schools Superintendent Dr. Marty Pollio traveled across the county Friday to surprise four high school seniors.
Each student, greeted outside their house, received a check ranging from $5,600 to $22,000 to help pay for post-secondary education. The money was donated by JCPS employees as part of the Employee-Sponsored Student Scholarship Fund.
Central High School senior Cheyla Tabares Cuesta was surprised at her home in the Highview neighborhood Friday morning, never expecting to see her superintendent outside with a gaggle of reporters and staff.
When he s not in the office, he s often on call, his phone always nearby.
Sometimes a patient is on the other end when that phone rings. And sometimes it s someone telling him his warranty on his car has expired or that fraudulent activity has been detected with his Social Security number.
The callers aren t telling the truth, of course. They are robocallers looking for another easy mark. It s a daily occurrence, and I can t ignore it because I can t tell the legitimate ones from the robocalls, Barber says. INVESTIGATING ROBOCALLS: WHO IS AFFECTED?
In a 2019 report from Truecaller, it was discovered that one out of six people had lost money in phone scams during the previous 12 months. Those scams added up to $10.5 billion.

William McGunagle answered the phone singing “hello” Friday afternoon.
“How I’m doing is how you would expect somebody who just won a million dollars to be,” he said with a laugh.
For the past three years, McGunagle has been battling throat and lung cancer while facing the mounting copayments that come with each treatment. With his most recent scan coming up clean, he said the first thing he did with his prize money from Publishers Clearing House was send some to his two adult daughters. Next up, he’s going to get a paint job and convertible top for his 1994 Mustang.
