Medication take back a huge success at Expo Over 30 pounds of medicine brought in for safe disposal Click on headline for story plus photo(s) By Rick Wilson We were well pleased with the response of people who came to dispose of their expired or unused medication. We collected 30 pounds of medicine and the oldest bottle dated back to October 1967. The bottle did not list the name of the medicine which was fairly common during that time. This year we conducted our program in conjunction with the Farm, Home and Garden Expo. I would like to acknowledge the many people who made the Medication Take Back program a success: Nick Roy, Mike Keltner, Wesley Jones, Tony Bragg, Todd Akin, Pee Wee Sinclair, Kevin Atwood, Harrison Moss, Terry Akin and the people who took time to bring in their medicines. Thank you -Rick Wilson 2011-04-30 19:00:09 | Comments | Printable version

Good things usually have good people, good works behind them Usually when something good starts happening it's because "someone" said or did something behind the scenes to start the action. The action or word may never get attention, as such, only the results from that action or word. These are a few results, and the people behind them, that I've noticed this week: Article continues... click title or click here to read whole article. 2011-04-30 14:16:24 | Comments | Printable version | See topic Commentary

Preservation: It's really about Economic Development Rehabilitating a historic building creates more jobs than building new buildings and more jobs than in manufacturing, article quoted says By Vonnie Kolbenschlag I do not know if you print something from email publications such as the Kentucky Heritage Council (www.heritage.ky.gov/.htm)but to me the following is a worthy piece of information:"Here in Kentucky a million dollars is spent in the rehabilitation of an historic building adds 23 jobs to the local economy. That is 2.5 more jobs than is created by a million dollars of new construction in Kentucky and eight more jobs than a million dollars of manufacturing output in Kentucky. "Here in Kentucky a million dollars spent in the rehabilitation of an historic building ultimately adds $730,000 in household income to the state's economy. That is $95,999 more in household income than is created by a million dollars of new construction in Kentucky and $233,000 more in household income than a million dollars of manufacturing output in Kentucky. "The Kentucky Heritage Council continues to work closely with our partner, Preservation KentuckyInc., to educate the public about agency programs and services, and in these tight budgetary times, demonstrate how we are being good stewards and making the most of taxpayer dollars. The good news is we are up to this challenge and can prove, time and again, that historic Preservation IS Economic Development."That would spark interest of many people who hear nothing about our courthouse preservation and this gives solid reasons about benefits of preservation of historic buildings. 2011-04-30 08:18:31 | Comments | Printable version
