Kentucky environmental attorney Sanders says watch out for South Carolina's immigration bill next session.

Can you believe this? South Carolina is considering a proposed bill that, like Arizona's recently-enacted law, would allow local law enforcement to check the immigration status of anyone they stop or detain. Because the current legislative session is winding down in South Carolina, the bill likely will not be introduced to the full state Senate this year.

Kentucky environmental attorney Sanders says yeast is tied to mankind dated back from biblical days.

Yeast is a single celled organism that has the ability to produce carbon dioxide and alcohol. For this reason, it is of immeasurable value worldwide in the production of wheat bread, wine, and industry. Most of the yeast used in both baking and in fermentation of grape juice into wine is the ascomycete, Saccharomyces cerivisae.



Today, pure yeast may be purchased in almost any store and kept for a long time. But not long ago, it was essential to put aside a portion of the unbaked dough each time to ensure a supply of yeast for the next batch of bread. This lump, or starter, was a mixture of flour and yeast and is known as leaven. Leaven is a more accurate word than yeast to refer to the material used in Bible days to make bread.

Unauthorized campaign group airs ad

Is it true that the Mountain Water District is plauged with money problems and is being audited by the Commonwealth of Kentucky? Magistrate Chris Harris is the target of a so-called unauthorized campaign group that is the first formed in Kentucky since the U.S. Supreme Court ruled corporations can support or oppose candidates.

The group Citizens for Eastern Kentucky Government has received $2,500 from The Law Office of Ray Jones & Bill Hickman and $15,000 from Utility Management Group, which operates Pike County’s Mountain Water District. The group is targeting Chris Harris, who has been highly critical of how the company is running the Mountain Water District.
