New Kentucky Judicial Commission on Mental Health announced From Leigh Anne Hiatt Frankfort, KY - The Supreme Court launched the Kentucky Judicial Commission on Mental Health on August 11, 2022, at a news conference in the Supreme Court Courtroom at the state Capitol. With so many justice-involved individuals dealing with mental health issues, substance use and intellectual disabilities, the new commission will work to improve the practice, quality and timeliness of the judicial response to cases involving these needs. You can watch the recorded news conference here. You can find the Supreme Court order establishing the commission here (PDF). "The prevalence of mental illness, substance use disorder and intellectual disabilities in our society is undeniable," Chief Justice John D. Minton Jr. said. "For courts and our justice system, this prevalence has a disproportionate impact as the justice system has become the default system for addressing the needs of those with behavioral and mental health issues, and our state prisons and county jails are, without question, the largest providers of mental health services in this state."

The Best of Times--The Worst of Times? By Mike Watson Mixed feelings of exhilaration and impending doom still grip me at this time of year. Excitement about the commencement of a new school year was, and is, often overshadowed by the thought of rising daily before sun-up to prepare for a day in the classroom. During the school year, the same feelings accompanied later Sunday afternoons--foreshadowing the coming of Monday morning. Don't get me wrong, I loved school, and my friends and teachers and learning--at least in certain subjects. Those mixed feelings continued true from the fall of 1965, when I started school, and continued through the beginning of school-year 2009-2010, my last year in the classroom! With thirteen years outside the education field, I still feel anticipation at this time of year... and I still wake up early in mid-winter to check school closings and delays!

Disease affecting cattle detected in Kentucky From Lisa Tolliver Frankfort, KY - Two cases of a new, potentially dangerous, disease of cattle has been detected in Kentucky, according to Kentucky State Veterinarian Dr. Katie Flynn. Theileria orientalis Ikedia, which is a protozoon known to be carried by the Asian Longhorned tick (ALT), has been diagnosed in two beef herds, one in Fleming County and the second in Hart County. In each instance, a beef breed bull fell ill and died. There is no relationship between the herds. "The Kentucky Department of Agriculture and the Office of the State Veterinarian is working closely with agriculture producers to contain these incidents and protect our herds across the state," Agriculture Commissioner Ryan Quarles said. "Protecting the health of livestock in the commonwealth is a top priority of the Kentucky Department of Agriculture."

Phillip Coffey - Time Spent TIME SPENT - By Phillip Coffey Cicadas taking up a lot of harmonious singing, no gripes among them I hear. No need of complaining about all the temporal hardships, time here soon spent. Herd up all of the harvest of rejoicing ages before it begins to be turning white. Listen to the cagey elders among us - they will up and tell you - 'life is just too short.' No time should be wasted on anything - lent to us for such a short season. Not necessary to list all your faults among the neighborhood - may not be entertaining. Everyone has slipped from the narrowed pathway that's straight - give them a lift, or maybe a ride While they meticulously make the necessary adjustments with Christ to get back in stride.

Carol Perkins: The Wind and the Window Previous Column: Fried Chicken Blues By Carol Perkins Before we left for what I call our "Covid" cruise, I pushed my patio furniture against the back wall of the porch under the roof. I hadn't moved any of it when the rain came that caught me in its path. I took my coffee to my favorite wicker rocking chair under the porch and thought about the day. What I was going to do, that sort of thing. When the sprinkles began, I didn't go inside but enjoyed watching as it grew a little steadier, bouncing off my flowers. I took pictures and sent to my granddaughter to rub in the fact we had rain and they had had nothing but drought for two months. As I continued to snap pictures, the rain fell more rapidly and harder. I backed my chair under the roof, but still had no room to escape the blowing rain. Guy opened the patio door, "Don't you think you need to come inside?" I looked at my dilemma. "I can't get through the furniture." He laughed as the rain soaked me. In seconds, the rain and wind joined forces. I knew I was in trouble when the hail hit the deck.
