Stolen truck found

Early this evening one of Sue and George Gilbert's sons found their stolen truck. It was parked behind Hometown pharmacy beside of the dentist office basically unharmed. The truck has been taken until detectives can finger print the inside and gather other information from it. Sources say that the truck had been parked there for 3 to 4 day, maybe even longer. If anyone has any information about who parked the truck there or if anyone seen anyone around it please contact the Sherrif's office immediately. If we want to put a stop to all of these incidents that happen in our county we are going to have to work together. Please if you have any information help us in solving this.

Give birth at home? Why not?

“We are not giving enough information to women”

Remember Ricki Lake, the actress and former talk-show host?

Well, she has added 'producer' to her r sum with The Business of Being Born, in which she is shown in 2001 giving birth to her second son in a bathtub at her home in New York.

In the film, she and director Abby Epstein question why midwifery and the choice to give birth at home aren't promoted. (Go to www. thebusinessofbeingborn.com to see the film trailer and to learn more.)

Susan Stone, president and dean of the Frontier School of Midwifery & Family Nursing in Hyden, would like to know the answer to that as well. She said low-risk births -- 80 percent of all births -- don't have to occur in hospitals or with doctors present. Read more

Key Senate seat to be filled

“The theme on the Republican side is retaining the control of the Senate, and the theme among the Democrats is trying to take over the Senate eventually”

Tuesday's special election for the 30th state Senate District has, at many times, had more to do with Frankfort than with the four Eastern Kentucky counties it covers.

Both Republican and Democratic leaders in the state Capitol have campaigned ferociously for the candidate of their respective party in the district that covers Perry, Bell, Harlan and Leslie counties.

Conversely, those same Frankfort leaders -- Democratic Gov. Steve Beshear and Lt. Gov. Daniel Mongiardo and Republican Senate President David Williams --have become unwilling subjects of pointed advertisements by the opposite parties. Read more
