By: Doug Ponder A Mt. Vernon man was arrested for three counts of drug possession last Monday after police responded to a complaint at Wendy’s in Mt. Vernon. Arrested at the scene was Chris A. Hasty, 37 of Mt. Vernon. According to state police reports, Trooper Eric Moore responded after receiving a complaint of someone possibly intoxicated inside of Wendy’s. Once Moore arrived, he observed Hasty getting out of the vehicle in the restaurant’s parking lot. He also noticed that the vehicle was parked in a handicap spot without a handicap placard. Upon further investigation, Moore noticed that, during field sobriety tests, Hasty appeared intoxicated. Witnesses also told police that they saw Hasty driving the vehicle moments before police arrived. Mt. Vernon Fire and Rescue responded to a single vehicle collision Sunday morning after a CSX employee rear-ended an idle train near the double train track crossing on Mullins Station Road in Mt. Vernon. Authori- Moore found an unmarked pill bottle in Hasty’s rear jeans pocket that contained 13 Xanax pills, 10 hydrocodone ties say CSX track inspector Gary Sparks, 55 of Richmond was in his rail-guided vehicle inspecting railroad pills and one Oxycontin pill. tracks along Mullins Station Road when he rear-ended the train. Officals say Sparks was aware of the stopped train and was braking his vehicle but couldn’t stop in time because of the wet tracks and railroad guides on Hasty was charged with three counts of drug possession, DUI and unauthorized parking in a handicap zone. his vehicle.

An encouraging word: A Way To Face A New Year By Howard Coop

An old year has passed. One thing is sure: There was a mixture of experiences in it. There were problems. Some of them were difficult, but some of them were solved easily. Things did not work out the way some folk desired, and there was disappointment. On the other hand, not everything was bad. During the year, many good things occurred. Some folk experienced numerous pleasant experiences, and for most of us, the old year was a pretty good year. Now, a new year has been given to us. At this point in time, we do not know what it holds. Horatio Nelson Powers called the unfolding year “a path unknown” that Pictured are students with their new belts and certificates after the test.

The judges also heard from Chief Justice of Kentucky John D. Minton Jr. about trends in the state court system. “While justice remains as the core of what we do, certain aspects of being a judge have changed since many of us took office,” said Jefferson Family Court Judge Stephen M. George, who was elected president of the Kentucky Circuit Judges Association at the college. “Today, the makeup of our citizenry is different, technology is part of every- day life and we’re operating under a budget crisis. These factors affect the way judges carry out our duties, and it’s important that we use the resources that are available to us to help us better serve the public.” Circuit judges also had the opportunity to attend courses about problem-solving courts such as Veterans Treatment Courts and Drug Court, substance abuse issues, search and seizure, tax delinquency, and bankruptcy’s effect on state court rulings. Another session focused on a judge’s responsibilities in appoint- ing counsel for defendants and in considering waivers of counsel from defendants who want to represent themselves. Circuit Court is the court of general jurisdiction that hears civil matters involving more than $5,000, capital offenses and felonies, di- vorces, adoptions, termina- tion of parental rights, land dispute title cases and contested probate cases.

I hope everyone is having a great 2014 so far and got to enjoy a little rest and re- laxation as 2013 came to a close. The holidays are behind us now and the work of the new year is in full swing. On January 7 the 2014 General As- sembly convened. This will be a 60-day legislative session creating the next two year budget for Kentucky. It will also include complex issues that require legislative action as the Senate Major- ity strives to make pathways for economic growth, advance pro life initiatives, address the negative effects of Obamacare, and fight for fiscal responsibility. I am proud to say I will be co-sponsoring the Senate Majority’s top priorities in the 2014 session. These mea- sures include: Regulations Fix: We need a constitutional amendment to allow the legislature – through the LRC - to over- turn a proposed regulation should the LRC deem that regulation deficient during the interim. Currently, the Governor can implement a regulation even if it is found deficient. Debt limit: We should limit general fund-supported debt to 6% of general fund revenues. I think this is an important step to getting our state’s fiscal house in order. Informed consent: I am pleased to sponsor, and will be working to pass, a pro-life bill that would require a woman considering an abortion to have a face-to-face meeting with the doctor to give informed consent before going through with the procedure. Heroin: Legislation to address Kentucky’s heroin problem using a three- pronged approach – treatment, education and inter- vention– will be a top issue this session. Working with the Rockcastle community to combat drug abuse has been one of my priorities. If you have any issues or concerns, please call me in Frankfort at 502-564-8100. Also if any Rockcastle County students would like to visit the Capitol in Frank- fort and serve as a page please contact my office. Pg.

Hank Gevedon of Mt. Vernon plans to launch his ecommerce website entitled the Kentucky River Trading Company on Saturday, February 1st. He said the website is designed to help craftspeople and artists sell their products on a national market through the website.

He said they would always tell him about how they struggle with selling their products on a national market. “Craftspeople and artists pour their heart and soul into their product, so the creation phase comes easy to them because it’s something they love to do,” Gevedon said.

Second Section Thursday, January 23, 2014 Plans to increase access to specialized care in the Cumberland Valley

In the Cumberland Valley, chronic conditions like obesity and diabetes are as ubiquitous as the beautiful mountains that define southeast Kentucky. On December 11, 2013, health professionals gathered in Manchester to address this critical problem. More than one third of the local adult population is obese and one in seven are diagnosed type 2 diabetics. Despite the alarming rates of these preventable conditions, access The new building for White House Clinics is nearing completion at Rockcastle Industrial Park South.

In some instances, for residents in the Cumberland will also have a sliding fee scale available to those without insurance, however, proof of income and Rockcastle Valley, specialized care can be more than two hours away. residency will be required. Across the United States, rural counties have far fewer physicians per capita than their urban counterparts, and this disparity is amplified within specialties like endocrinology and cardiology. Mirroring this national trend, a recent survey conducted by Spread the Health Appalachia (STHA) found only one endocrinologist practicing part time in the Cumberland Valley area. An innovative program to tackle high rates of chronic conditions like diabetes, obesity and heart disease, STHA is working to expand access to healthy foods, exercise facilities, and specialized medical care. STHA is a partnership between Microclinic International and the Bell County, Knox County and Cumberland Valley District Health De- partments, and is funded by the Centers for Disease Con- trol and Prevention. (Cont. to B8) Jared Carpenter files for re-election On Tuesday, State Senator Jared Carpenter of Berea officially filed papers for a second term in the Kentucky State Senate. Carpenter represents the 34th Senate District which is composed of Madison, Rockcastle and southern Fayette County. Signing his candidacy papers were former State Repre- sentative Danny Ford of Mt. Vernon and Kevin Fields, owner of Tri County Fertilizer in Richmond. Carpenter, a Republican, was elected in November 2010. In the Senate, he serves as Chairman of the Natural Re- sources and Energy Committee. His ascension to the position made him one of the fastest rising committee chairs in the chamber, and one of the youngest. He has gained attention for his work on behalf of Kentucky coal and for taking a strong stand against President Obama and his EPA. "Senator Carpenter has proven to be a valued member of the State Senate. His leadership has made him an asset not only to Rockcastle County but to the entire state. “I appreciate his work as Chairman of the Natural Resources and Energy Committee and his dedication to making state government effective and efficient," Kentucky State Sen- ate President Robert Stivers said of Carpenter. "It is an honor to represent this community in the State Senate. I've done my best to tackle problems in Frankfort head on and make a positive impact on Rockcastle County. I am focused on continuing my work to keep government in its proper role, promote local job creation, fight against Obamacare, preserve our second amendment rights, and keep taxes low," Carpenter said upon filing for re-election. In addition to the Natural Resources and Energy Com- mittee, Carpenter serves as Vice-Chairman of the Banking and Insurance Committee and as a member the Education Former State Representative Danny Ford, surrounded by local Republican Party officials, signs Jared Committee. A graduate of Eastern Kentucky University, Carpenter is a banker with First Southern National Bank in Carpenter's paper work to file for his second term as State Senator.
