The sarin nerve agent that leaked at the Blue Grass Army Depot on Friday should have been destroyed two months ago, under a plan approved in January.

But the agency responsible for neutralizing the agent has not even started constructing the facility for the destruction.

In January, officials approved a plan that called for the 157 gallons of GB, or sarin, stored at the depot to be drained, neutralized and removed from the facility by May.

But two months after the initial disposal deadline, the sarin is still kept in ton containers at the depot that are still leaking. ]]> http://www.kentucky.com/178/story/460488.html http://www.kentucky.com/178/story/460488.html Mon, 14 Jul 2008 08:42 EDT
Friends and acquaintances of David W. Jacobs are still trying to make sense of the strange and unexpected death of the longtime Clark County coroner.

Jacobs' body was found in a Richmond motel room on July 4, a week after he disappeared from his Winchester home and 17 days after he was arrested in Lexington's Jacobson Park on a charge indecent exposure.

Authorities said Jacobs apparently took his own life at the Best Western motel, using prescription medications. Madison County Coroner Jimmy Cornelison's office is awaiting results from toxicology tests, but Cornelison said he doesn't expect that the results will alter the original conclusion that Jacobs committed suicide.

.It's a very tragic ending to a very sad story,. said Clark County Sheriff Berl Perdue, whose office had been seeking Jacobs since he was reported missing June 27. ]]> http://www.kentucky.com/178/story/458924.html http://www.kentucky.com/178/story/458924.html Sat, 12 Jul 2008 07:22 EDT
Army officials confirmed Friday that sarin nerve agent is leaking from a container at the Blue Grass Army Depot.

A mobile laboratory conducting a routine check within one of the chemical agent storage igloos tested positive for the nerve agent GB (sarin). The leak was in the same igloo that sprang a leak last August, the Army said in a press release.

.It may be the same leak reopening, it's a high possibility,. said depot public affairs officer Richard Sloan.

The igloo, which is a 90-foot-long concrete bunker covered in dirt, contains three GB ton containers and several secondary waste drums. The igloo has been continuously filtered and monitored daily since the leak was identified and sealed in August, and officials stressed that no chemical agents have escaped the containment igloo. ]]> http://www.kentucky.com/178/story/456115.html http://www.kentucky.com/178/story/456115.html Wed, 09 Jul 2008 03:13 EDT
Louisville

Hearing set on release of psychiatric records

Attorneys for a former University of Louisville student charged with killing her two children say her psychiatric records should not have been made public. Jefferson County assistant public defender Mike Lemke says psychiatric reports for Gail Lynn Coontz were supposed to be under seal, but were released to The Courier-Journal on Monday. On Tuesday, Jefferson Circuit Judge Mary Shaw set a hearing for July 17 to determine why the records were released. Coontz showed up with a gun at the University of Louisville health services counseling center on March 27. The children were found dead in their home. Coontz has pleaded not guilty to charges of murder, terroristic threatening and tampering with evidence.

An attorney for one of three men facing criminal charges in connection with alleged hazing at an Eastern Kentucky University fraternity chapter said the charges are .selective and arbitrary. because other fraternity members have been implicated but not charged.

In a letter given to the Herald-Leader on Tuesday, a fraternity regional director has recommended that nine fraternity members (three from EKU and six from the University of Kentucky) be expelled or suspended from the fraternity.

EKU students Thomas Barnes, 21, and Gabriel M. McLaren, 22, and alumnus Alonzo C. McGill, 32, pleaded not guilty Tuesday to fourth-degree assault charges in the beating of EKU student Brent Whiteside, 23, who was hospitalized March 8 after he sought membership into Kappa Alpha Psi.

Police say the three men struck Whiteside with their fists, a paddle and a cane, causing kidney failure. He spent several days in Central Baptist Hospital in Lexington. ]]> http://www.kentucky.com/178/story/456177.html http://www.kentucky.com/178/story/456177.html Wed, 09 Jul 2008 03:13 EDT

It's French fries . no, make that egg rolls. Wherever .Big Brown Betty. goes, the rusty 1985 Ford truck leaves the hot smell of deep-fried food in her wake.

.The other day, I was getting building materials from a man for a project,. said Nathan Turner, the truck's owner. .His wife came outside, and said, .Are you grilling out?'.

Big Brown Betty runs on used fryer grease, which Turner, 32, collects free from various restaurants.

He saves money, but the greater satisfaction is that using vegetable oil as fuel reduces his carbon footprint. ]]> http://www.kentucky.com/178/story/449859.html http://www.kentucky.com/178/story/449859.html Wed, 02 Jul 2008 03:13 EDT

RICHMOND . Plans for the 120-acre Richmond Centre are on track, despite the financial difficulty some of the shopping center's stores have faced in recent months.

Eleven stores have signed on as tenants in the main portion of the development at Interstate 75 and Barnes Mill Road, including Meijer, Cine.mark, Belk and Home Depot, according to Charlotte, N.C.-based Crosland LLC, which is developing Richmond Centre in partnership with Greenville, S.C.-based Carolina Holdings Inc.

Restaurants such as Olive Garden and Logan's Roadhouse have committed to outlying locations within the development.

Representatives for two of the tenants, Dawahare's and Goody's, said the companies will proceed with plans to open in the center, though both department store chains have closed stores recently in the state as they reorganize under bankruptcy. ]]> http://www.kentucky.com/178/story/443884.html http://www.kentucky.com/178/story/443884.html Thu, 26 Jun 2008 14:52 EDT
An investigation into a violent hazing incident at Eastern Kentucky University has now spread to the University of Kentucky.

UK officials confirmed Wednesday that they have begun investigating whether members of UK's Kappa Alpha Psi chapter were involved in the March incident that left an EKU student hospitalized.

.We are now asking officials at Eastern and with the national chapter to cooperate with us in our own investigation to determine if UK students or the chapter have been implicated in this matter, and of course the university will take appropriate action,. UK spokesman Jay Blanton said.

EKU student Brent Whiteside, 23, was hospitalized March 8 for injuries received while he was a candidate for admission to the Kappa Alpha Psi chapter at Eastern. ]]> http://www.kentucky.com/178/story/442313.html http://www.kentucky.com/178/story/442313.html Wed, 25 Jun 2008 02:04 EDT
RICHMOND .. The Kappa Alpha Psi fraternity chapter at Eastern Kentucky University is suspended from campus for eight years after an investigation into hazing allegations, according to a letter issued by the EKU official who oversees Greek life.

In the letter, EKU confirms that hazing occurred during the most recent pledge process of the Eta Alpha chapter of Kappa Alpha Psi, but the chapter faculty adviser, president and many members were unaware of the activity.

.We do not believe they were involved, nor did they even know about it,. said Mike Reagle, associate vice president for student affairs at EKU. .It was a small group of students that were a part of the fraternity that knew about it..

Reagle sent the letter to the executive director of the fraternity on Friday. He said the organization received the letter Monday, and he had yet to receive a response. ]]> http://www.kentucky.com/178/story/442963.html http://www.kentucky.com/178/story/442963.html Wed, 25 Jun 2008 02:09 EDT

Criminal charges have been dismissed against a Berea man accused of first-degree abuse after his toddler suffered a severe sunburn that caused second-degree burns.

However, Bobby J. Jones, 27, might face further legal hassles, according to police.

Capt. Ken Clark of the Berea Police Department said the issue probably will land in family court.

Police responded to a call about the stabbing at 403 Turpin Drive, Apt. 4, at 6:50 a.m. The women had been stabbed multiple times with a military-type knife, police said.

An officer, whom Richmond police did not identify, was confronted by a knife-wielding man who would not respond to the officer's commands and continued to advance in a threatening manner, Richmond police said in a statement. The officer shot the man once in the torso, and other officers arriving on the scene helped to secure the suspect and called for medical assistance.

Richard L. Henderson, 44, was pronounced dead at Pattie A. Clay Hospital at 7:42 a.m., police said. His mother, Sara Henderson, 76, and sister Brenda Henderson, 47, were being treated at University of Kentucky Hospital for injuries suffered in the attack.
