There was no shortage of heroes at the annual Kids’ Health Fair on Aug. 20.  Children came from 10 counties in Kentucky (Montgomery, Clark, Bourbon, Scott, Fayette, Nicholas, Harrison, Jessamine, Bracken and Mason) and one county in Ohio to take pictures with Spiderman, Batman and Robin, Pokemon, Ninja Turtle, Elsa, as well as our hometown heroes - firemen, EMTs, physicians, nurses and other staff members.

 If you are having trouble repaying your Federal Stafford Loans, you may be able to take advantage of a deferment, according to the Kentucky Higher Education Assistance Authority (KHEAA).

A deferment lets you postpone paying your loans if you meet certain criteria. You can get a deferment if you are:

• Still in college at least half time.

• In a rehabilitation training program.

• Unemployed.

• Having economic hardship.

Eleven students from Harrison County have been named Senator Jeff Green Scholars by the Kentucky Higher Education Assistance Authority (KHEAA). To earn this honor, a student must have a 4.0 grade point average each year of high school and at least a 28 composite on the ACT.

These students have also earned $2,500 a year in Kentucky Educational Excellence Scholarship (KEES) awards. If they keep their grades up in college, they will have $10,000 to use toward a four-year degree.
