Sharon Harris, a nurse with the Department for Public Health, and Moses Young, an assistant director with the Office of Inspector General, were terminated in May for living in two Lexington homes owned by nursing home owner Ralph Stacey Jr. According to documents released by the cabinet, Young and Harris lived in two homes in the Griffin Gate area owned by Stacey. When asked by investigators, the two were not able to produce documents showing that they had paid rent to Stacey, the cabinet says in court documents.

Both Harris and Young are appealing their terminations, according to records with the state Personnel Board.

This is not the first time that Harris' relationship with Stacey has been questioned. While she was working as a nurse for the Department of Medicaid services, the Cabinet for Health and Family Services recommended that she be terminated after inspectors saw her at Garrard Convalescent Home, which Stacey owns, during a 2002 inspection. The state Personnel Board voted unanimously to reinstate Harris after she appealed the termination decision.

The relationship between Stacey, Harris and Young is also the subject of an investigation by the attorney general's office, said Allison Gardner Martin, a spokeswoman for Attorney General Jack Conway. Young, in his appeal, said he is already under investigation by an administrative agency but it is not clear which agency. Officials with the Executive Branch Ethics Commission would neither confirm nor deny that Harris or Young were under investigation. ]]> http://www.kentucky.com/177/story/462254.html http://www.kentucky.com/177/story/462254.html Wed, 16 Jul 2008 02:17 EDT

VERSAILLES . Rescuers recovered two bodies from the Kentucky River in Woodford County on Sunday night, Sheriff Wayne Wright said.

The male teenagers apparently drowned in the early afternoon near Lock 6 on the Kentucky River, off Oregon Road.

Sometime after 8 p.m., sonar units from Grant County picked up signals indicating they had located the bodies, Wright said.

Officers set up two buoys to help divers focus on the recovery area. ]]> http://www.kentucky.com/177/story/449853.html http://www.kentucky.com/177/story/449853.html Wed, 02 Jul 2008 10:07 EDT

"Do not let Rubloff renege on their agreement with this community," Versailles resident Norman Pedigo told the commissioners.

The Versailles-Midway-Woodford County Planning and Zoning Commission took no action on rezoning sought by Rubloff. Instead, the commission granted one month of negotiations between Rubloff and the Woodford Coalition, a group of neighborhood interests that monitor development, to see whether any compromise can be reached.

At issue is a rezoning proposal that would allow a Lowe's home improvement store plus restaurants, motel, gas station and bank on the properties off U.S. 60 east of downtown Versailles.

The present zoning prohibits any retail space larger than 60,000 square feet. The zoning Rubloff wants would allow a 111,000-square-foot Lowe's plus a 27,000-square-foot garden center.]]> http://www.kentucky.com/177/story/319146.html http://www.kentucky.com/177/story/319146.html Fri, 15 Feb 2008 10:04 EST
