HEBRON The Boone CountyPlanning Commission has re-ceivedanapplicationforachangein an approved concept develop-ment plan that would permit aKenton County church to expandinHebron, utilizing a long-vacantbuilding.
Assistant zoning administra-tor Mitch Light said the appli-cants are looking to expand thepermitted uses on the property.
The request is for a change inan approved concept develop-ment plan in a C-2 zone for an 8-acre site located at 1980 and 1990
North Bend Road to allow achurch and other uses permittedin the C-2 zone.
According to information pro-vided with the application, whichwas submitted to the planningcommission on Nov. 5 by FlickIGA Ltd., Lakeside ChristianChurch is proposing to expand itscurrent church facilities byusinga multi-site strategy.
They have chosen their firstmulti-site locationasHebron, andare proposing to locate their newfacilities in the existing vacant25,000-square-foot building, atTanners Station. The church isproposing a facility at this loca-tion with a maximum of 500
seats.EricaRonnebaum,community
relationsmanager for thechurch,saidLakesideChristian is excitedfor the opportunity to be a part ofthe Hebron community.
Instead of waiting for thecommunity tocometo thechurch,this strategy allows us to take thechurch to the community, shesaidof thechurchsdecision toex-pand.
Lakeside Christian, located at195 Buttermilk Pike in LakesidePark, draws quite a substantialamount ofmembership from theBurlington and Hebron area andtheres the potential to reachmany more, said Ronnebaum.
In other words, said infor-mation found on the churchwebsite, the ideal location is acommunity sitting at the veryedge of our current geographicalreach.With that inmind,we care-fully studied numerous areas inthe Northern Kentucky regionand determined Hebron to be thelocation that would give us thebest opportunity for success.
Information providedwith theapplication says existing uses atTanners Station include the va-cant 25,000-square-foot building(the oldFlicks grocery) and9,979squarefeetofretail space, includ-ing Snap Fitness, Liquor Cabinet,Beef OBradys and an empty
unit.After reviewing the types of
existing uses and hours of opera-tion for all of the current busi-nesses, and the existing and pro-posed parking numbers, we dontexpect any conflicts with this useand the other businesses in Tan-ners Station, the provided infor-mation reads.
A public hearing on thematterwill be at 7:30 p.m. Dec. 5 in theFiscal Courtroom of the BooneCounty Administration Building.
The matter will have to go be-fore the Fiscal Court for final ap-proval.

PETERSBURGIfyou live inPetersburg and share yourhome with specters unseen alocal paranormal investigationgroup wants to talk to you.
For the past couple ofyears, we have been awarethere are a large amount ofhauntings over a small area alot of incidents all across town,said Michael Palmer of Walton,founder of Paranormal Investi-gators of Northern Kentucky.Wevebeenkickingaround theideaof trying toreallystudy thetown as a whole and find outwhats going on down there why there are so many reportsand so many different loca-tions.
In the coming months,P.I.N.K., which began in 2005,will ask people in the communi-ty to share their stories withwith group for a documentarywith the working title Peters-burg: The Other Side.
If need be, then we can ac-tually set up an investigationand see what kind of evidencewe turn up.
The documentary will alsofocus on the history of Peters-burg, Palmer said, from theFort AncientNativeAmericansto present day and see how
some of that past history corre-lates with the evidencewe find.
Were going to try to talk toas many people as we can andput together enough film for afeature-length documentaryshowing theres another side toPetersburg.
According to Palmer, a par-ticularly active investigation ofa Petersburg home last yeargave P.I.N.K. some of the bestevidence weve ever come upwith, including disembodiedvoices and sounds recorded butnot heard by the nine people inroom.
P.I.N.K. is looking for peoplewho live in town, who have astory to tell, and a house thatshaunted to contact the groupand share their story.
The goal, Palmer said, is tohave appointments set up bythe end of February and to filmfromMarch to June.
Palmer said hed like to havea final package put together bythe end of July and goal is to getit to air locally or nationally.
I think its a good way toshowcase (Petersburgs) histo-ry from where it began towhere it is now and there justhappens to be something leftover that goes bump in thenight.
Hes hoping to get a reallyenthusiastic response fromresidents.
Im not looking to scare

anybody out of town,Palmer said. I dont thinkanybody down there hasmuch to be afraid of, otherthan they might hearsomething they dontknow where the soundcame from.
They live in averyhis-toric area with a veryhaunted history and itsnot everyday you runacross an entire townthats reported to behaunted. I think its kindoffantastic in that aspectand the people down therehave a lot to be proud of.
Palmer said the townhas a lot to offer.
Thats why I want to
call the title of the docu-mentary Petersburg: TheOther Side, he said. Be-cause theres definitelyanother side to that town.

BURLINGTON Eventhoughhegrewup inLouis-ville, Ryan Clark of Bur-lington has been a lifelongfan of University of Ken-tucky basketball.
(My grandpa) likes tosay he got to me first,Clark says.
Hes taken his knowl-edge and love for the teamandhaswrittenabook, 100Things Wildcats FansShould Know and Do Be-fore they Die, with a fel-low UK fan and friend Joe Cox.
This is Clarks fourthbook.
Sometimes when youget in the book writingbusiness, youget lucky,hesaid.
Clark had previouslywritten about Kentuckybasketball. People heworked with on that pro-ject called him last year tosee if he would be interest-ed in working on this book,just one in a series aboutdifferent sports teams.
It took me two secondsto say of course.
With a looming deadlineand a lot, a lot, a lot ofthingsgoingon,Clarksaidit became pretty evidentpretty quickly, that heneeded help.
So he turned to Cox, hisbest friend at college and ahuge Wildcats fan.
Theyve taken coaches,players, teams and othertopics associatedwithKen-tucky Basketball andranked them. Theyre the100 most well-known sto-ries, he said.
So if you have someonein your lifewho needs to beeducated, they can pickthis up and go through oneto 100, understand whyyoure so crazy and also getan encyclopedic knowl-edge about the program,
Clark explains.The book also include
historical facts, interviewsand profiles that will evenappeal to lifelong fans, hesaid.
So you get the best ofboth worlds.
Right now, the craze forUK fans is at its peak, withthe school coming off a na-tional title win and withKentucky going to be areally great team nextyear, Clark said.
People are really excit-ed and eating this kind ofstuff up.
According to Clark, in-formation in the bookcomes from a number offirst-person interviewswith coaches, players,trainers and fans as well assome from other sourcematerials.
During the course of hisresearch, Clark said whatwas surprising was howrelevant the topic is eventoday, considering theteam won its first NCAAchampionship more than60 years ago.
The success the pro-gram has sustained is pret-ty remarkable, he said.

UNION A communitytradition is back and readytokickoff theholidayshop-ping season.
The 18th annual RyleCraft Show will be from 7-10 p.m. Friday, Nov. 16, and9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday,Nov. 17, at Ryle HighSchool.
The show features 175crafters from all over theregion selling a wide rangeof goods including Christ-mas decor, woodworking,embroidery, quilts, candlesand more.
You can get a lot of
shopping done in about thetime itd take to see amovie, said craft show or-ganizer Mary Schmazl.
The show has grown sopopular over the years thattheres now awaiting list ofcrafters, Schmazl said.
This year, the crafterline-upaddsRamonDesignConcepts.
They make woodenjewelryboxes that areminifurniture pieces, Schmazlsaid.
Shoppers can bring pho-tos of furniture in theirhomes and order a jewelrybox in the shape of it, shesaid.
Each year, between5,000and6,000 shoppersgothrough the craft show andabout $30,000 is raised ev-ery year. Most of the mon-ey raised goes toward theschools after-prom pro-gram.
It helps keep kids offthe streets after prom andnot going to parties,Schmazl said.
Running an event thesize of the Ryle Craft Showtakes a lot of help, and overthe years the Ryle commu-nity has stepped up, shesaid.
Several student groupsand clubs, along with par-ents,volunteer tohelpcraf-ters set up and break downtheir booths and also helprun booths when the craf-ters need breaks. Manystudent groups also set upbooths and sell goods as afundraiser.
Its really a testamentto theRyle community thattheyre willing to pitch inand help, Schmazl said.

UNIONAbbyMarsh isfinally home.
Marsh, the Ryle studentwhod been hospitalizedsinceMayafteracarcrash,left the hospital and re-turned home. The crashbroke her fifth cervical
vertebrae and left her inspinal shock and paralyzedbelow her armpits. She hadan11-houroperation to fusevertebrae together, butcomplications left her witha lung infection that re-ducedherbreathingcapac-ity and eventually col-lapsedher lung.This great-ly impaired her speech.
Since the crash, thecommunity rallied aroundAbby, swamping her withvisitors and messages.
Wehave a lot of friendsand church family who arepraying for us, and wecherish that, said DanMarsh, her father.
To welcome her home,more than 100 of herfriends lined her street,glow sticks in hand to lighther final stretch home.
It was just an incredi-ble outpouring of love,DanMarsh said.
The gesture was anoth-
er in a long line of events,fundraisers and signs ofsupport Abbys gottensince the crash.
In August, a fundraiserat Turfway Park raisedabout $55,000 for Marshsfamily, and Union nativeJoshHutchersonauctionedoff amealwith him for fivewinners raising about$12,000.
Much of that moneywent to remodeling theMarsh home to accommo-date the 17-year-oldswheelchair and other spe-cial needs.
The house isnt100 per-cent, but its close, DanMarsh said.
In a symbolic gesture, atree thatwas takendownaspart of the remodeling wasused to fuel the bonfire theMarshes had for Abby andher more than 100 friendsthe night she came home.
As things settle downand the renovations are
completed, the Marshesplan to host a celebrationevent for everyone whoshelpedwith the home reno-
vations as an opportunityto show their gratitude andfor everyone to see the fi-nal product of their hard
work.Since the crash in May,
Abbys made significantprogress.Shecanmoveherarms, shes had her trache-otomy removed, she canspeak, is attending churchandwent to theRyle soccerbanquet.
Even with her restrict-ed movement, shes able toget messages out with heriPad, DanMarsh said.
With Abby out of thehospital, the road to recov-ery is farfromover,andtheMarshes are ready for thecommitment needed. Thefamily is taking Abby toLouisville five days a weekfor a two-hour therapy ses-sion. The trips are madepossible because of ahandicap-accessible vanthe family was able to buywith money from dona-tions.
Shes already showingsigns of improvement,DanMarsh said.
Meeting others who aregetting similar treatmenthas been a great source ofencouragement for thefamily, he said.
I know four youngmenwho are getting out of theirwheelchairs who had thesame level of injury as Ab-by, he said.
Regardless of howthings turn out, the Marsh-esalreadyhaveplenty tobethankful for, he said.
Its great to have herhome, he said.

HEBRON If only therewere a group where localstay-at-home motherscould go for support,where they could meetwith other mothers whoshared in their challengesand successes. Guesswhat there is. In 2005, theHebron chapter of MOMS(theMomsOfferingMomsSupport club) was estab-lished. The nonprofitgroup serves stay-at-home mothers of Hebron,Florence and Burlington.
I have been involvedin the MOMS Club of He-bron for a year, said BethHarris, amother of two. Ibecame involvedwhenmyfriend joined and I saw allthe fun activities she wasdoing with her daughter.
Harris was elected tothe executive board as themembership vice presi-dent last May.
We servemore than 45mothers and their chil-dren providing support,group gatherings, activ-ities for children and age-and gender-specific play-groups as well as local
community service pro-jects, she said.
The club, which is tiedto a larger internationalMOMS group, meets dur-ing the day, when, as Har-ris says, at-home moth-ers need support.
We believe that beinga mother shouldnt isolateyou, somothersmay bringtheir children with them,and most activities arecentered around the chil-dren, she said. TheMOMS Club is a great re-source and support sys-tem for all moms and canreally be helpful for any-
one who has relocated tothe area and may not havefamily or know the areawell.
To find other localbranches of the club, sendemail to [email protected].
Finding the MOMSClub has definitely helpedto evolve my life as an at-home mom, Harris said.Ive made some greatfriends and so have mychildren.
Dues are $20 ayear. Formore information, [email protected].

Schools donate candy for troopsA friendly competition be-
tween schools is sending morethan 1,200 pounds of candy totroops abroad.
Stephens and Longbranch el-ementary schools challengedstudents to donate candy toTreats for Troops, an organiza-tion that ships candy to deployedservicemen and women.
When Longbranch Elemen-tary opened in 2010, many of theschools students transferredfrom Stephens.
We have a lot of friends andparents over at Longbranch,
said Stephens PTA president Ju-lia Pile.
Since both schools collectedcandy for the program last year,they worked out a friendly com-petition to see who could collectthe most, Pile said.
It was just for braggingrights, she said.
At Longbranch, school ad-ministrators worked with theU.S. Armys 299th ChemicalCompany, based in Maysville, tobring in several military vehi-cles that students could loadtheir candy into.
Webrought in the trucks as amotivator, said Assistant Prin-cipal Jeff Rollins.
As the final collections weredue, the schools brought inscales to determine the winner.
Longbranch ended up as win-ner, donating 725.42 pounds tothe 509.8 pounds at Stephens.
They love doing servicelearning for projects for otherpeople, Rollins said.
The collected candy was tak-en to the home of Megan Kelly,who started Treats for Troopssix years ago after she wasntable to eat her Halloween candybecause of her braces. Long-branch and Stephens contribut-ed to the effort that will sendthousands of pounds of candy totroops.

BURLINGTON Thanks tostudent persistence, schoolleaders had to lock lips with acow.
Kelly Elementary offeredstudents a chance to see teach-ers and administrators kiss acow as incentive for the schoolsparticipation in theBoxTops forSchools program.
Created by General Mills,Box Tops for Schools givesschools 10 cents for labels fromparticipating products.
They add up, said JoleneBenedict, who coordinates theprogram at Kelly.
To get the students excitedabout the program, Benedictconvinced teachers to kiss a cowif collection goals were met.
It was easier than I
thought, Benedict said. I wasreally worried about that.
With teachers on board, stu-dents were told that for every2,000 box tops they brought in,someone would kiss a cow, andstudents got to vote on whowould do it.
Theywere all excited,Ben-edict said.
Box tops started rolling in,and students blew past the goalof 6,000.
Anything that gets theirteachers doing something silly,theyre all for, Benedict said.
As the final push ap-proached, Benedict upped theante. She told students thatPrin-cipal Joe Biel would join the listif they topped 8,000.
After bringing in 8,005 boxtops, the final list of cow kisserswas set: Biel, school secretaryToni Baker, third-grade teacher
Kristi Caudill and fourth-gradeteacher Julie Maddox.
Biel was happy to join the ef-fort because of how hard theschools 255 students worked tocollect so much.
Whateverwouldget thekidsmotivated, he said. It was to-tally worth it.
The final tally means theschool will get $805, which willlikely go toward technology.
Some of our computers arevery old, and weve been work-ing to replace them, Benedictsaid.
Because the program offersmoney forvery little effort,Kel-lywill keep onwithBoxTops forSchools. In the spring, boys willbattle girls to see who can col-lect more in the Who Rules theSchool contest, Benedict said.

You dont dominate a decadelike the St. Henry District HighSchool cross country programhas without bringing in qualityrunners year after year.
With three combined return-ing starters from the 2011 statemeet, the Crusaders boys andgirls teams each had big chal-lenges this year. As supporterscarried a school flag around thegrounds during the day, the Cru-saders stayed atop the podiumasClass1AstatechampionsNov.10 at Kentucky Horse Park.
The boys team won its un-precedented 11th straight titlegoing back to 2002, and the girlsteamwon its second in a rowandeighth in the last 10 years.
Its great, coming back froma year when we lost so many ofour seniors, said senior DanielWolfer. A lot of people weredoubtful that we could repeatagain, but its been so awesomebeing able to lead this team andkeep the tradition alive.
The boys team scored 84points to beat runner-upWalton-Verona by 116. At least 37 run-ners have crossed the finish linein the state meet since 2002 (re-sults from that year were un-available). That included fivefirst-timers this year.
One who wasnt new wasWolfer, who closed his crosscountry career with an eighth-place finish in 16:48. He won histhird individual medal in thestate meet.
Also medalling was juniorJosh Hannon, a returning start-er who finished ninth in 17:03.Michael Ridilla led the newcom-ers in 23rd. Andrew Smith was27th and Robert Brockman42nd.
All year weve held our hatson the pack, said Cru boys headcoach Ernie Brooks. We knewDaniel was out front and thatJosh was pushing towards himand after that, we told the threethrough seven you had to go ateach other every day and ifyoure able todo that inpractice,youll be able to do it Saturdaywhen you race. Numbers kill inthis sport.
Wolfer enjoyed his role assenior leader this year.
The biggest challenge was

He alsodrained 69 shots from 3-pointrange andmade 44.2 percent ofhis attempts from behind thearc. Jones iswellknowntoNKUfans for hitting a last-secondthree-pointer to beat West Vir-ginia in a 2011 exhibition game.Watson averaged 6.3 points and4.7 rebounds per game.
Chad Jackson, a junior pointguard and former Scott CountyHigh School star, started all 30games last year, averaging 9.4points and 3.6 assists last year.He played a full season at Divi-sion I JamesMadison in the Co-lonial Athletic Association - oneof the nations top mid-majorleagues - before transferring toNKU.
It should prepareme to be aleader on the court, having thatexperienceandknowingwhat ittakes to competeat theDivisionI level, how hard you have towork in practice and the ath-letes youre going to see, hesaid.
Jones formerly played at theUniversity of Nebraska.

NKUs biggest losses wereleading scorer Jon Van Hoose,who made 102 threes and aver-aged 12 points per game, andDeAndre Nealy, who set theschool record with 85 blockedshots.

When Americans gather tocelebrate a holiday, its usuallyaround a dining room table ormaybe a buffet line if theres areally good game on that day.
These gatherings can pose ahealth risk. More than 48 mil-lion people each year contract afood-borne illness, according tothe Centers for Disease Controland Prevention. Of those,128,000 are hospitalized and anadditional 3,000 die.
You have probably heardthese basic food safety mes-sages repeatedly: keep hotfoods hot and cold foods cold;wash your hands frequently andseparate raw meats from ready-to-eat food items. Those mes-sages are what we call FoodSafety 101 in public health, soplease do all of those.
But to reallykeep everyonehealthy afterthe meals, youalso need topay attention toFood Safety 201as well. As weprepare tostart celebr-eating, hereare some tipsfrom FoodSafety 201,
focusing on taking food pre-pared at home to another loca-tion and what to do once themeal is over.
Meals on wheelsBusy hosts and hostesses
will often ask for their guests tobring a dish to the holiday meal.
If youre taking food along,make sure that you plan aheadon how to keep perishable foodsat the right temperature. Cool-ers with ice and insulated bagsshould be used when needed.
Make arrangements ahead oftime with your hosts for howyour food will be stored onceyou arrive, whether thats re-serving a burner on the stove,an outlet for your slow cookeror shelf space in the fridge. Ifyour hosts refrigerator is fulland you need to keep a dishcold, use the cooler you broughtit in with ice, or place food incooler outside, provided the airtemp is below 40.
Leftover logisticsWe tend to want to relax
after our holiday meal ends,
especially if weve spent all daypreparing it. Hold off untilyouve made sure that the left-overs are put away properly.Please note: This task can bedelegated to the table-clearingor dish-washing crew if yourereally wiped out!
Any perishable food needs tobe eaten or put away within twohours. Food safety expertsrecommend that leftovers becooled to 41 degrees Fahrenheitwithin four hours.
If the food is still quite hotwhen youre cleaning up, storeit uncovered in the refrigeratoruntil its cool and then cover it.Help soups and similar foodscool by adding a few ice cubesand stirring.
Large portions take longer tocool, so its wise to split left-
overs into individual portionswhen putting them away.
Eat your leftovers withinseven days, though three to fouris best.
Once you are ready to eatthose leftovers, make sure youheat the food to 165 degreesFahrenheit.
Gathering around the tableat the holidays is a time to makememories. Paying attention tofood safety will help everyoneleave their holiday gatheringswith memories of the hilariousstories an uncle told or the cra-zy new boyfriend a sisterbrought home and not an ach-ing belly or queasy stomach.

Another former governor andsenator, Earle C. Clements, isdescribed as cold and unforgiv-ing. Education reformer andRoosevelt Whiz Kid Edward F.Prichard was overly infatuatedwith his own biting wit, and notcareful about debt.
Grandsons of the powerfulare chips off the giant oaks.
Smiths essays clearly reflecthis belief Washington shouldhelp people do what they cantdo for themselves.
Kentucky Cured by legend-ary Kentucky journalist AlSmith is the book his followers,fans and friends wanted.
Its a compilation of narra-tives and opinions mostly aboutthe influential Kentuckians whoprovided direction for the stateover the past 75 years.
Some of Smiths observationswere written especially for thisbook. Others first were pub-lished in the Lexington Herald-Leader and The Courier-Journal.
Wordsmith, Smiths autobi-ography released in 2011, de-scribed his whiskey-sotted ar-rival in Russellville in 1957 afterhed lost his reporting job at aNew Orleans newspaper. Smitheventually would own the Rus-

Word-smith includeda riveting ac-count of
Smiths struggles with the bottleand his recovery from alcohol-ism. But the gloves rarely cameoff when he wrote about thepowerful and rich-and-famouswith whom he rubbed shouldersover the past half-century.
Kentucky Cured correctsthat, and is proof, at 85, Smithcan still bite when he turns aphrase.
In a state like Kentucky,Smith writes, leadership oftenfalls to political hacks or freshfaces with painless promises,which fail.
Smiths activism surfaceswhen he blisters Kentucky law-makers who remain mired inthe ignorance and bigotry of oursorry past.
The author clearly misses thedeal-making political progres-sives who ran the state, oftenfrom smoky backrooms, until afew decades ago.
He praises their accomplish-ments but also provides critical
Journalists who appeared onhis Comment program havedebated whether Smith is aRoosevelt New Dealer or aJohnson Great Society Demo-crat. Kentucky Cured pro-vides support for both sides, andhis book again reveals his appre-ciation for the powerful whostruggle to help the powerless.
Ive written before that AlSmith has informed, cajoled,agitated and entertained us. Hedoes that again in KentuckyCured. Thats why this is thebook his fans wanted.

On Sept. 22, I received anemail from a grieving mother inOldham County who had lost achild to a prescription drugoverdose. Her daughter died at afriends house after mixing thedrug Opana with other sub-stances. She was just 16 yearsold.
I have received many ofthese letters and grieved withfar too many parents devastatedby the scourge of prescriptiondrug abuse. I vowed to each oneof these families that I would doeverything I could to stop thespread of this epidemic.
Through landmark prescrip-tion drug abuse legislation, myPrescription Drug DiversionTask Force and my Keep Ken-tucky Kids Safe awarenessinitiative, we are making pro-gress.
Over the past decade, pre-scriptions for powerful painkill-ers have soared, making Ken-tucky the third most medicatedstate in the nation. Last year, 219million doses of hydrocodonewere dispensed in Kentucky thats 51 doses for every man,woman and child in this state.
While some irresponsibledoctors handed out pain pillslike candy, prescription pain-killer abuse rose 900 percent,overdose deaths doubled andweve seen an alarming 2,400percent increase in the numberof babies born addicted to painkillers.
Since House Bill 1 (HB1) tookeffect on July 20, fewer of thesehighly addictive controlledsubstances are being dispensed,
marking thefirst reductionin a decade.Doctors arenow required toutilize the Ken-tucky AllSchedule Pre-scription Elec-tronic Report-ing (KASPER)system to sep-arate legiti-
mate pain sufferers from doctorshoppers.
Today, KASPER has nearly22,000 registered users, request-ing more than 18,000 reportseach day, most of which arereturned in a matter of seconds.
Rogue pain clinics are closingup shop in Kentucky. Unable tocomply with the new law, 10 painmanagement clinics have closedtheir doors. And the KentuckyBoard of Medical Licensure(KBML) has disciplined 35 phy-sicians for prescribing vio-lations. 10 faced emergencyorders of suspension and fivesurrendered their licenses.
Under a Memorandum ofUnderstanding (MOU) draftedby my office, we are workinghand-in-hand with the medicallicensure boards, KentuckyState Police (KSP) and the Cab-inet for Health and Family Ser-vices (CHFS) to share informa-tion to identify the most egre-gious cases of illegal or inappro-priate prescribing. Our MOUcreated a centralized databasefor boards like KBML to sharetheir complaints regardingillegal or inappropriate pre-
scribing with law enforcement.The system has processed 41complaints since July.
We are also working togetherto address a few unintendedconsequences of HB1 and willbe taking a look at exemptionsfor long-term care facilities andin-patient hospital services. Ourgoal is to weed out the very badactors and ensure patients havethe best care possible.
Additionally, we are continu-ing to work closely with locallaw enforcement through mystatewide drug diversion taskforce to go after these roguepain clinics and unscrupulousdoctors doctors like RichardAlbert, who prescribed morethan 105,000 prescription pillsper month at his Paintsvilleclinic with little to no examina-tion of his patients. Dr. Albertpled guilty last summer to feder-al charges of conspiring to ille-gally distribute and dispensecontrolled substances.
Awareness and educationcontinue to be key componentsof our effort to combat prescrip-tion drug abuse. Since Ilaunched the Keep KentuckyKids Safe program in 2010 withconcerned parents, state part-ners and law enforcement agen-cies, Ive warned more than15,000 middle and high schoolstudents about the dangers ofabusing prescription pills.
Working together, we can winthe war against prescriptiondrug abuse.

Several Girl Scout troopsteamed up with the Florence Jo-Ann Fabric and Craft Store forthe Make It-Give It communityservice project.
For the project, the store host-ed troops in shifts Nov. 3 and 10.While in the store, the girls madeno-sew fleece blankets that willeventually be donated to the Cin-cinnati RonaldMcDonald House.
It was a very good experi-ence for the girls, said storemanager Debbie Snyder.
Girls ages 5-12 participated,and because they were makingno-sew blankets, they could allhelp, said Alissa Wind, who leadsTroop 1310 out of Kelly Elemen-tary.
The kids were able to dosomething that didnt require alot of adult help, Wind said.
This allowed the girls to focusmore on helping those in need in-stead of getting help, she said.
The kids all knew we weremaking a difference, Wind said.
Windwas impressedwith howwell Jo-Ann had organized theproject and how the store staffwas so eager to teach the girlshow to make the blankets. This
gave troop leaders an opportuni-ty to see their girls shine, shesaid.
When you get to sit back andwatch the girls have fun with it,thats when being a troop leaderis great, Wind said.
While the staff was on hand toteach, it wasnt long before theywere able to set the girls free towork, Snyder said.
They picked it up rightaway, she said.
Seeing a group of girls havinga good time making blanketsstarted to draw some attention,Snyder said.
A lot of the customers wereasking about what was going onand how they could participateand help, she said.
Jo-Ann Fabrics has a historyof supporting Girl Scouts, andthis program was a way for ev-eryone to come together and helpa good cause, Snyder said.
It encourages the girls to tryout crafts as well as communityservice, she said.
By the end of the two days, thegirls made 48 blankets that willbe donated Dec. 1, but odds aretheywontbe the lastblankets thegirls make.
A lot of thegirlswere like wewant to do this at home, Windsaid.
TheMake It-Give It project isled by Jo-Ann Fabrics and willalso be done in six other citiesaround the country. A total of 400blankets will be donated to char-ities through the program.
