Former owners of Russell Co. lab convicted of health care fraud

"Until late 2010, SelfRefind used independent labs that returned test results within a week. In late 2010, Drs. Wood and Peavler joined Brian Walters, James Wesley Bottom, and Dr. Robert Bertram, Jr., to form PremierTox, a urine drug testing laboratory. Beginning in October 2010, Dr. Wood and Dr. Peavler directed SelfRefind to freeze its patients' urine samples and then send them to PremierTox, where they were maintained in a storage facility that PremierTox actually referred to as the "Pee Palace." As many as 10,000 frozen urine samples were stored in this facility. However, the five owners of the lab - Dr. Wood, Dr. Peavler, Dr. Bertram, Walters, and Bottom - did not have the testing equipment installed until January 2011, and did not begin conducting confirmation tests until April 2011. The evidence established that the significant delay in testing rendered many of the confirmation urine tests useless in the treatment of the SelfRefind patients, and medically unnecessary." - From Full Article

From U.S. Attorney's office
U.S. Department of Justice, Eastern District of Kentucky

FRANKFORT, KY (Mon 3 Apr 2017) - On Friday, a federal jury convicted five former owners of PremierTox, a clinical laboratory in Russell Springs, Kentucky, of seventeen counts of health care fraud, each. The defendants were acquitted on various other counts that alleged related conduct. The seventeen counts of conviction related to medically unnecessary urine drug tests, which were submitted by the defendants' laboratory to Anthem Blue Cross/Blue Shield with the intent to defraud the health insurer.

I attended a 90th Birthday Party for Willard Parnell this weekend. Here is Willard (in blue playing harmonica) with Stanley Syra on banjo at the Old School Cafe in Edmonton. Willard and Stanley had a fine old time singing and playing music. Stanley is almost 90, also! Photos taken by Chris Lagermann, April 1, 2017

Another sad consequence of the demise of the country store

Dave Rosenbaum writes:
I see that there is an effort to extend gas service into the rural areas of Adair (See: Adair County residents urged to complete Gas Survey form). During my youth there was abundant gas produced by the loafers (gassers) at Fairplayy to overlap with the producers at Chance, Inroad, Hardscratch, Gadberry and Sparksville so that the entire countryside was amply supplied. Not particularly sure that I prefer the 21st Century. --Dave Rosenbaum

Adair County residents urged to complete Gas Survey form

Columbia/Adair Utilities is exploring the feasibility of making county-wide natural gas available in areas not now served by the City of Columbia Gas Department. The utility is asking everyone in the areas to respond to their survey - a copy of which is attached to this story, and now are being made available several offices around town.
Click on headline for complete story with photo(s), survey facsimile.

By Ed Waggener

The Columbia-Adair County Utilities District is currently conducting a survey to assess interest in a plan to provide natural gas service in Adair County, KY.

The utility would like to see over 2,000 potential users complete the forms. Already, over 650 residents who do not currently have natural gas available have replied indicating an interest in obtaining natural gas, CAUD General Manager Lenny Stone said, adding that more forms have been received but are not yet tabulated.

Billy Joe Fudge: Comments of Green & Greene

Outstanding feature, Green River, is really Green - and apt reason for the name and spelling.
Comments re photo 71917 Scenic Green Co KY What happened to ultimate "e" By Billy Joe Fudge

Although I make no pretense at being a historian, I recognize that many of what are considered to be historical facts are really assumptions based upon closely related facts.

I have no quibble with the origin of the names of Green County and or of Greensburg. I'm sure that those bureaucrats in their far-removed seats of power and authority who were dividing up the land mass of Kentucky into smaller, governable land masses called counties, would have chosen the name Green County based upon the heroic General Greene but....
