Attorney General Jack Conway and the Kentucky Office of Drug Control Policy have jointly released a public service announcement (PSA) to increase awareness of heroin abuse among young people and to warn their parents of the signs.
The 30-second PSA depicts a young woman in a morgue who describes how easy it has been to hide her heroin habit from her parents - that is until she becomes an overdose victim.

Kentucky Bancshares Inc., parent holding company for Kentucky Bank, announced last week the quarterly dividend to shareholders.  
The payout will be 24 cents per share, up from 23 cents for the previous quarter. This payment will be made March 29 to shareholders of record March 20, 2013.
