KY DoC launches new aftercare program for inmates in recovery By Katherine Williams Burgin, KY - Kentucky Justice Secretary John Tilley joined with the state Department of Corrections (DOC) today to announce the first ever aftercare program within a Kentucky prison, providing a new system of support, mentoring and peer accountability for offenders in recovery from a substance use disorder. The innovative program, known as SOAR (Supporting Others in Active Recovery), focuses on relapse prevention, education, and reentry skills based on the Therapeutic Community Model, a group-based, residential approach to treating substance abuse. The evidence-based strategy seeks to reduce recidivism and set the stage for long-term recovery before inmates return to communities. With a commitment to sober living, participants live together in a single dormitory located at Northpoint Training Center, a medium-custody prison in central Kentucky. The goal is to provide a steady continuation of care as inmates complete their sentences along with other programs and curriculum.

Fiscal Court hears citizen requests on Crocus Creek, Westlake By Linda Waggener In the public comments section of the Fiscal Court meeting June 9, 2019, Ricky Thompson and Frank Robinson asked for attention to a challenge on Crocus Creek in Southern Adair County. They said a new land owner has blocked an entry point that has been used by the public to access Crocus Creek for many years. The road has been removed from county road service, however Magistrate Daryl Flatt said that he has had experience in his district and just because the road is no longer designated for service, that doesn't necessarily mean a change in ownership of the land. The two guests requested help from magistrate Sammy Baker who said he is working on it, and from Fiscal Court, in resolving the problem peaceably. Jerry Burton appeared before Fiscal Court and asked for an accounting to the public from the Westlake Regioinal Hospital Board as to where the debt stands at this time and what amount of money is in the bank account. He believes that the ten cent tax on the dollar may be an illegal amount. He asks for an accounting to the public. 2019-07-10 14:09:59 | Comments | Printable version

Carol Perkins: It's all in who you know Previous column: Drop the mic and move on By Carol Perkins My passport was due for renewal and with less than six weeks between my last trip and a future one, I worried about getting it in time. Off to a post office I went, and the clerk took a new picture gave me the application to fill out, and I mailed it the next day. Thinking all was well, I panicked when I received my application back from the agency a week later because I had not included my old passport. Nowhere on the form did it direct me to enclose the old one. I went back to the post office and asked to expedite my passport. He said that was no problem, and he sealed the envelope and sent it priority mail. I kept asking if I needed to send more money, but he said it was on the package. That made no sense until two weeks later when I called to check on my passport status (waiting on hold for twenty minutes) and discovered that it had not been expedited because I had not paid the extra sixty dollars.
