courier-journal.com Kentucky Capitol calm again after Stein backers in hallway scuffle
Calm returned to the Capitol a day after an altercation in a hallway involving supporters of Sen. Kathy Stein, security officials and some Republicans who control the Senate, including President David Williams. It resulted in the arrest of one Stein supporter, a Lexington man who allegedly scuffled with a Senate doorman.
Senate Majority Leader Robert Stivers, R-Manchester, expressed outrage Tuesday over what he called an “abhorrent” breach of decorum by Stein supporters, who sat in the visitor’s gallery and afterward attempted to challenge the redistricting plan that effectively removes Stein, a Lexington Democrat, from her district.
But on Wednesday Stivers said he had discussed Tuesday’s incident with Senate Minority Leader R.J. Palmer, a Winchester Democrat, and the two agreed to put the incident behind them.
However, Stivers said the Senate did make some changes in security. The only visible change Wednesday was the addition of a plainclothes security official in the hallway outside Williams’ office where Tuesday’s confrontation occurred.
Stivers declined to discuss other measures that may have been taken but said the Senate has no plans to restrict access to the visitors’ galleries that overlook the Senate chambers.

wkyt.com Kentuckians compete on The Amazing Race
Two longtime friends from Clay County will be among those competing in CBS's upcoming season of "The Amazing Race." They'll face off against ten other teams in a race around the world for a million dollars. The two men say they have a special motivation to win, since one of them just lost his job with Kentucky's Department of Agriculture.
"I'm just a laid back guy, like to lay on the couch, watch sports," Mark Jackson explained. Jackson has the opportunity of a lifetime. Along with his friend William "Bopper" Minton, he has a shot at a fortune on the upcoming 20th season of the CBS series, "The Amazing Race." "We're going to get a chance to win a million dollars. Two poor country boys that have never... We're from the other side of the tracks. I'll just put it that way," Jackson said.
Minton says he's competing to help pay medical expenses for his seven-year-old daughter who suffers from severe asthma and respiratory problems. Seen in a television interview, wearing the Agriculture Department's Kentucky Proud logo, Jackson says he could use the extra money ever since he lost his non-merit job as a special assistant with the department. "When Phil says go, he's turning loose two thoroughbreds is what he's turning loose," Minton said. "And I want to apologize to all the other teams right now for the actions that's going to be taken because we're not... by any means necessary..." Jackson added, "Listen to me, we have to win this million dollars. We have to."
The new season of "The Amazing Race" premieres February 19th on WKYT.

Government Must Limit Man's Selfishness by: Don Pinson As America's Founding Fathers were growing up as children, one of the greatest revivals in all of history was occurring. It would come to be called the Great Awakening as the Holy Spirit of God awakened Americans to the faith their Pilgrim ancestors had known so well. The Bible became the standard once again for morals as well as manners. They would grow up with the view of God and the view of man which the Bible revealed. The Ten Commandments would set the boundaries for what was right and wrong in their generation. The Biblical structure for education, business, and government would become their quest in building their society.
Their view of God was not the "teddy bear" god we've tried to shaped Him into in our day; rather, it was the Biblical revelation of Him as the awesome Creator and Ruler of all that is. Because He was our Maker and Redeemer, in Christ, He was the One Who would be our Judge.
Thus, our current view of ourselves as being the focus of life was not their view. They believed what the Bible teaches about man. That is, though we were made in the image of God with the potential of being a channel for the life of God in this world, we had rebelled against our Creator and refused Him His right to rule in our individual lives.
This had brought to us a sin principle which caused each one of us to think first of ourselves and what we want, rather than God and what He wants. The Bible reveals this when it says, "For by one man sin entered into the world, and death through sin, and so death passed on all men, because all sinned." (Romans 5:12)
It says, "There is not a just man upon the earth that doeth good and sinneth not." Ecclesiastes 7:20
This selfish view in man would cause all the hurt in this world down through the centuries. Noah Webster, the Father of America's original education system would identify this. He wrote: "All the miseries and evils which men suffer from vice, crime, ambition, injustice, oppression, slavery and war, proceed from their despising or neglecting the precepts contained in the Bible."
As a result of this view, America's Founders would create a government designed to hold in check this self interest. James Madison, who wrote our original Constitution, stated that the aim of government was, quote: “In framing a government which is to be administered by men over men, the great difficulty lies in this: you must first enable the government to control the governed; and in the next place oblige it to control itself."
To be able to do this, Madison said, "Ambition must be made to counteract ambition."
So they created a Biblical Republic. That is, a government that placed law as the highest authority; the people, through their representatives, having chosen law that agreed with the Biblical moral law expressed in the Ten Commandments. To make "government control itself,” as Madison said, they balanced the interests of one branch of government against the other branches of government. While not perfect, it would be the most perfect government ever devised by man, to this day.
To James Madison it has also been attributed to have stated: “We have staked the whole future of American civilization... upon the capacity of each... of us to govern ourselves... according to the Ten Commandments of God.”
Have you surrendered your will to Christ, receiving Him as your personal Savior; allowing Him to indwell you and live through you in this world? It's the foundation of all successful government.
Think about it; because if you don’t, someone else will do your thinking for you, and for your children! And you won’t like what that brings to you.

Kentucky’s first ever state wide Prescription Drug Abuse Summit U.S. Attorney’s Office Eastern District of Kentucky
COVINGTON — The U.S. Attorneys in Kentucky announced today the key speakers for Kentucky’s first ever state wide Prescription Drug Abuse Summit.
The one day event will include remarks from Kentucky Governor Steve Beshear, Wilfredo Ferrer, U.S. Attorney from the Southern District of Florida and University of Kentucky President Dr. Eli Capilouto. As the chief federal law enforcement officer in south Florida, U.S. Attorney Ferrer leads a broad effort to investigate and prosecute purveyors of rogue pain clinics, also known as “pill mills” in South Florida.Experts from UK’s medical, pharmacy and dental schools will participate in panel discussions.
Law enforcement in Kentucky has made prescription pill abuse one of its highest priorities. In 2010 and 2011, the U.S. Attorney’s Office in the Eastern District of Kentucky prosecuted approximately 120 cases related to prescription pills; more than double the prosecutions involving any other type of drug. However, combating this problem cannot be solved by law enforcement alone. Success will require a joint effort from health care, social services, regulatory and education professionals.
With this in mind, the U.S. Attorneys in Kentucky in conjunction with the University Of Kentucky (UK) Colleges of Medicine, Dentistry and Pharmacy are hosting a Prescription Drug Abuse Summit on February 1, 2012 at the UK Albert B. Chandler Hospital Pavilion in Lexington, Ky. The one day event will include presentations and panel discussions of the many facets of prescription pill drug abuse and its impact on Kentucky communities, schools, and institutions.
“This summit will lead to increased communication and awareness among all those that are engaged in this fight,” said the Eastern District of Kentucky’s U.S. Attorney Kerry B. Harvey. “We encourage more industry professionals who are a part of this ongoing battle, to attend, so we can create a strong and united front to combat this pill epidemic.”
Other speakers at the event include Van Ingram, Executive Director of Kentucky’s Office of Drug Control Policy, a mayor, police chiefs, a high school principal and a host of doctors from UK’s college of Medicine, Oral Health Science, and Pharmacy.
The summit is free and open to industry professionals. For questions or to register or the pill summit, please contact the U.S. Attorney’s Office at 859-685-4805 or at william.allen.love@usdoj.gov

Kentucky Afield Outdoors: Trapping Is The Most Effective Way To Control Wild Pigs Kentucky Department of Fish & Wildlife News Release
FRANKFORT, Ky. - In Kentucky, wild pigs may be hunted with firearms year-round with no daily bag limit, but wildlife biologists believe trapping is the most effective way to control the feral pests.
"In established populations, hunting often educates more pigs than it removes," said Chad Soard, a wildlife biologist with the Kentucky Department of Fish and Wildlife Resources. "Research has shown that relying too heavily on hunting will not control pigs and may hasten their spread."
Kentucky Fish and Wildlife is working with landowners to help them deal with the destructive, unwanted swine which pose serious ecological, economic and disease threats.
"We've had verified sightings of wild pigs in 37 counties," said Soard. "For many of these sightings there's no evidence of established populations. They're just isolated occurrences of free-ranging pigs living independent of humans."
Soard said he gets regular reports from landowners about their ongoing efforts to remove pigs from areas of Kentucky with established populations. "You have to adapt your strategy to completely eradicate wild pigs," said Soard. "You have to understand the species. Shooting them on sight isn't always best."
Wild pigs live in maternal groups called sounders, usually made up of several related sows with their offspring. Several maternal groups may come together to forage so there could be as many as 20 to 30 pigs on a food source.
Mature boars tend to be solitary and don't tolerate the presence of other males.
Hunting in general, and sport hunting in particular, is ineffective for controlling or eradicating wild pigs because boars are targeted.
"The removal of all age classes concurrently is critical to any successful control or eradication plan," said Soard. "Reproduction often outpaces the most intensive hunting efforts. Juveniles can breed at six months so you have to concentrate your efforts on maternal groups, continually trapping over a long period of time."
Shooting into a group of pigs forces them to search for sanctuary. "You're going to spread out the population and push them onto neighboring properties," said Soard.
"Wild pigs are not prone to wandering. They're not overly territorial, except when boars are fighting over breeding rights," said Soard. "Populations tend to stay in a small area unless they are pressured."
Wild pigs make their presence known by the sign they leave such as rooted up areas in woods and fields and wallows around small ponds or wet areas.
Trail cameras are a good way to assess wild pig numbers and find suitable trap sites. "You can't just trap anywhere; you have to locate the trap on fresh sign, where the pigs are actively feeding or traveling," said Soard.
Large box traps can be used to catch wild pigs, but corral traps are better. "They allow non-targeted species to escape and are capable of catching entire maternal groups of pigs at one time," said Soard.
Corral traps are made from wire and typically have a swinging, saloon-style gate which lets the pigs enter, but blocks them from leaving the trap. A good strategy is to establish the trap site at an area where pigs can feed unmolested. Then, monitor the site with trail cameras and set the trap when the largest numbers of pigs are feeding at the site.
In Kentucky, it is illegal to possess wild pigs. Any captured pig must be killed at the trap site. They may not be removed from traps alive.
Corral traps are commercially available or can be homemade. "We have a cost share program to help landowners offset the cost of the traps," said Soard.
Winter is the best time to trap. Food is in short supply and pigs readily come to bait piles. The best trap sites for pigs are located along travel routes between bedding and feeding sites.
Trapping works. "The staff at Bernheim Forest corral trapped steadily for three years and reduced the population to the point where damage and observations have ceased," said Soard. "You can't trap for a while and quit. You've got to stick with it."

GREGG FORT is the only church planter missionary in Zimbabwe. One of the areas he and his wife, DONNA, have been working for several years is about an hour’s drive west of the city of Gweru, among the Ndebele people. For years there were only two churches, and they weren’t growing spiritually. But with prayer and the power of the Spirit, one of those churches is maturing. Three more churches have started, and the new Christians are growing. The churches recently held a combined service, and 99 new Christians were baptized; thirty new believers await baptism! Twice a month, leaders and new believers from all five churches gather as Gregg and Pastor Ncube from Gweru do leadership training for the church leaders while Donna leads the new believer’s class. God is blessing your support of missions through CP. Pray for these new churches and believers.

Grand Jury Charges Man With Three Felonies Following Boating Incident Kentucky Department of Fish & Wildlife News Release
FRANKFORT, Ky. - A Wayne County grand jury has indicted an Illinois man on three felony counts stemming from a boating incident that severely injured a swimmer in Lake Cumberland Aug. 12, 2011.
James Gibson, 26, of Chicago, is charged with second-degree assault and two counts of wanton endangerment. His indictment was returned Jan. 24.
Conservation officers with the Kentucky Department of Fish and Wildlife Resources said Gibson was operating a houseboat while intoxicated when it struck Jordan McKelvey, 25, of Fennale, Michigan. McKelvey suffered severe injuries from the propeller. Boaters were staging in the lake's Shinbone area for the upcoming "Lake Cumberland Raft-Up" event the following day.
Conservation Officers Travis Neal and Jerrod Alley were nearby and rushed to the scene when another boater summoned their help. The officers loaded McKelvey in their boat and administered precautionary measures to stop his life-threatening bleeding. The officers transported the victim more than two miles to Conley Bottom Marina, where they were met by members of the Wayne County Emergency Medical Service. McKelvey was moved to a landing site and then taken by helicopter to the University of Kentucky Chandler Medical Center.
Officers say he remained at the medical center 18 days before eventually being transported to a Michigan facility for continued treatment and rehabilitation.
Officers say McKelvey and other passengers from Gibson's houseboat were swimming near the vessel's stern when Gibson decided to move the boat and throttled its engine in reverse. The suction pulled McKelvey into the propeller.
Officers say Gibson admitted to operating the vessel when it struck McKelvey. Witnesses supported that. Gibson agreed to give a voluntary blood sample at the time. Laboratory results indicated a blood-alcohol content (BAC) of 0.25, more than three times the legal limit of 0.08 percent for boat operators. He was charged at the time with alcohol intoxication in a public place and paid $203 in fines and court costs.
Neal said arrest warrants on the felony charges will be issued for Gibson, who has since returned to Illinois.

KENTUCKY GENERAL ASSEMBLY « Result #28 on Jan 27, 2012, 7:09pm »
FRANKFORT – Sen. Julian Carroll, D-Frankfort, makes a floor speech in the Kentucky Senate calling for improved civility in politics.
This Week in Frankfort
FRANKFORT – Each session has its own rhythm. But speaking generally, January has a quick burst of early legislative news, then lawmakers gear down for a long uphill grind that builds to a late-March/mid-April peak. The process takes a while, as it should.
With the unhappy terms of this year’s budget discussion now known, its own redistricting done (though the separate Congressional reapportionment remains hung up), and a still-unspecified proposal on gambling said near-ready for introduction in a show-me Senate, the Legislature settled into early-session get-the-process-moving mode this week, as committees started bills on the long road to becoming law.
A few bills have already trickled to the floor of each chamber for a vote. But, at this writing, only the aforementioned in-state redistricting bill has passed both, and been signed into law by the governor.
As January fades, and the one-quarter mark of the 60-day session passes and the one-third point approaches, here’s a snapshot – three snapshots, in fact -- of where big things stand:
The budget: THE issue of this and every long session.
This week, the state budget director outlined for lawmakers the specifics of a tax-amnesty plan proposed by the governor in his Budget Address last week,
Amnesty is one leg of the administration’s four-legged stool, on which it looks to balance a budget it says starts out more than $700 million out of whack.
The amnesty program – which would remove penalties for tens of thousands of delinquent taxpayers, and also forgive half the interest on what they owe if they come forward now and settle up -- could raise $61.2 million over the next two years, the administration says (with historical justification).
Statewide amnesty was last offered ten years ago, and took in $40 million. An earlier and even more successful program in 1988 netted over $60 million. Delinquent taxpayers would have an added incentive to take advantage of this year’s offer – there’d be higher penalties and interest on those who don’t.
The governor’s budget-balancing plan also includes taking $102 million from the state’s Rainy Day Fund, $245 million in other fund transfers, and 8.4 percent in agency spending cuts across a broad swath of state government, with some few areas (like SEEK school funding, Corrections and Medicaid) exempted.
Redistricting: House and Senate reapportionment is done, now signed law.
But House Republicans have challenged that plan in Court, unhappy that it forces at least a half-dozen GOP incumbents to run against each other, should all decide to seek re-election. The House-passed, Senate-approved, gubernatorially signed plan also pits a third-year Republican incumbent against the Democratic Majority Floor Leader (a 25-year veteran). One of the main Republican technical objections is what they call excessive splitting of counties.
Democrat leaders insist the new lines meet all Constitutional requirements; Republicans say they don’t, and let’s let the courts decide if that’s true.
Such minority-party challenges are not uncommon in redistricting battles, the most partisan and (if you find yourself in the crosshairs) personally wounding issue any Legislature ever takes up.
Meanwhile, the two chambers remain at odds on Congressional redistricting, which didn’t fall under their ‘gentlemen’s agreement’ to pass without objection the other chamber’s plan for itself.
Lawmakers came to Frankfort with a felt need to wrap up redistricting quickly, before next week’s filing deadline for the November elections. But that’s a practical and political concern, not a legal one. A plan emerged at mid-week to possibly move the Congressional filing deadline back, as a House-Senate conference committee works toward compromise.
Gambling: Historically, pretty clear lines have been drawn. This governor has wanted expanded gaming. The Legislature has not fully bought into the idea, not in the majorities needed to pass both chambers.
This year, the governor has proposed casino gambling, in the form of a constitutional amendment submitted to the voters for an up-or-down vote. Actual details have been vague. But the news this week was that language for such a bill had been settled on, for possible introduction soon.
Like so many issues at this point in the session, this one is still developing.
The preceding was a press release from LRC eNews. For more information on items before the Kentucky Legislature contact your local senator Robert Stivers (left) and/or representative Tim Couch (right).
