B
B
C
A
A
Okay,
do
a
hair,
emotion
that
we
approve
the
minutes.
C
A
Okay,
we
will
start
with
our
usual
reports
from
our
exhibited
director
and
deputy
executive.
The
director
of
the
agriculture
development
board.
A
Everybody
knows
who
you
are,
but
for
the
record
identify
yourself.
D
Good
morning,
chairman
committee,
brian
lacefield
executive
director
for
the
kentucky
office
of
ag
policy,
it's
a
pleasure
to
be
with
you
again.
I
can
get
to
where
I'm
in
the
cycle
now
and
know
how
how
things
go
seems
like
we
just
just
were
here
visiting
with
you,
but
as
I
was
looking
over
my
calendar
to
see
what
happened
since
was
here.
It's
actually
quite
a
bit.
D
I
know
we
got
several
items
on
the
agenda,
so
I'll
move
quickly
and
then
let
a
deputy
director
go
through
some
of
the
projects
that
we
funded
this
time.
But
since
last
time
I
was
visiting
with
you,
we've
have
continued
to
balance
my
time,
traveling
the
state
engaging
with
our
our
projects,
our
stakeholders
and
and
and
visiting
projects
and
speaking
engagements,
and
then
also
time
in
the
office
trying
to
to
run
the
run
the
office
some
highlights.
Since
last
time
we
were
here
senator
webb.
D
We
had
our
farm
to
event
in
greenup
county
that
that
we
set
a
record
there
that
I've
yet
to
hear
broken
in
the
state.
We
had
over
600
pre-sold
tickets.
For
that
event-
and
I
think
senator
almost
everybody-
was
there-
that
that
day,
that
that
was
a
fantastic
event-
that's
only
their
second
year
doing
and
and
all
the
proceeds
for
that
were
going
to
benefit
the
the
youth
agriculture
programs
in
the
community.
D
I
then
was
up
to
the
other
side
of
the
state
and
was
down
in
hopkinsville
to
moderate
a
panel
for
the
kentucky
corn
growers,
core
group
and
and
chairman
dahl
sit
there.
We
had
our
friend
wayne
hunt,
jimmy
tosh
and
and
willis
jepson
that
were
speaking
to
a
group
of
future
agriculture
leaders
on
the
importance
of
leadership
in
their
their
industry.
D
Then
I
had
the
chance
to
go
the
two
days
later
over
to
meek
county.
What
what
is
the
largest
county,
fair
in
the
state
that
I
I've
yet
to
find
a
statistic
to
beat
that,
and
I
was
the
keynote
speaker
for
their
fair
breakfast
and
I
thought
that
was
a
pretty
good
prelude
to
our
state,
fair
that
will
be
beginning
tomorrow.
So
I
think
a
lot
of
a
lot
of
energy
and
excitement
about
that.
Also,
the
kda
is
having
a
series
of
meetings
across
the
state.
D
Our
land
meetings,
which
is
linking
agriculture
and
manufacturing
these
are
tim
hughes,
is
running
this
for
the
the
commissioner,
and
these
are
fantastic.
It's
a
different
agenda
in
each
community,
we're
bringing
in
local
folks
from
both
agriculture
manufacturing
sectors
to
to
talk
about
opportunities
in
in
their
industries.
We've
had
three
to
date.
D
I
think
we'd
already
had
the
bowling
green
one
when
I
was
here
last
time,
but
we
had
the
henderson
event
and
then
in
maysville
in
the
last
30
days,
while
touring
these
things
we're
working
in
to
continue
site
visits
for
our
meat
processing
plants.
D
We
talked
last
time
we
were
here:
we've
had
over
30
projects
that
we've
been
been
part
of,
and
I've
had
six
million
dollars
invested
into
these
literally
going
across
the
state
from
graves
county
to
greenup,
county
and
and
bill,
and
I
have
visited
in
the
past
the
past
month,
facilities
in
graves,
county
union,
county
christian,
county
and
muhlenberg
county
all
in
various
stages
of
some
going
back,
you've
been
in
business
there
in
christian
county
since
1975,
with
doing
some
updates
and
others
be
some
new
facilities
coming
online.
D
Then
I
had
an
opportunity
to
to
mark
the
milestone
of
the
70th
county
that
we've
had
ag
development
funds
go
into
for
a
farmers
market
and
that
was
in
mcgoffin
county.
Had
your
colleague
representative
plant
and
I
were
there
to
cut
the
ribbon
on
that
project
and
that
one
was
a
good
illustration
of
leadership.
The
county
agent.
There
courtney
jenkins
seemed
like
they
had
run
into
about
every
type
of
hiccup.
You
could
have
with
a
with
a
building
project
like
that,
but
really
worked
on.
D
It,
I
think,
was
about
a
five-year,
a
labor
of
of
passion
and
and
again
driving
forced
to
get
all
the
community
involved
and
they've
got
a
beautiful
facility
there
that
I
was
proud
to
be
part
of
now.
There's
more
than
70
a
few
counties
have
more
than
one,
but
that's
the
70th
county.
D
We've
got
so
look
forward
to
continued
expansion
of
these
across
our
state
and
then
chairman,
dawson
and
senator
westerfield
was
glad
to
be
back
in
my
hometown
of
hopkinsville
and
and
congratulations
to
you
both
now
on
being
known
as
the
batter
capital
of
the
world.
So
we
had
the
salute
to
agriculture
in
in
hopkinsville
this
year
and
they
have
now
of
the
moniker
of
the
batter
capital
world.
D
I
think
tying
back
with
the
the
the
milling
and
processing
that
we've
got
going
on
a
value-added
agriculture
in
the
community
for
what
they're
doing
director.
B
D
Well,
we
we
do
have
a
few,
thank
you
senator
and
we
we
do
with
seamer.
Milling,
obviously
is
grinding
a
large
portion
of
our
wheat
going
into
continental
mills
going
into
the
hopkinsville
milling
that
we
have
quite
a
few
products
that
you
can
see
on
the
shelves.
D
Everything
from
your
grimaldi's
brownie
mix
to
your
your
crusties
pancakes,
believe
every
every
biscuit
you
get
at
mcdonald's
on
the
east
of
the
mississippi
comes
from
from
flower
that
comes
out
of
out
of
the
the
hopkinsville
elevate
or
seamer
milling
and
continental
mills.
I
believe
a
big
chunk
of
your
role.
Gold
pretzels,
come
out
of
flour
from
there
and
see
how
many
I
mean
your
pancakes
out
of
denny's.
I
believe
all
come
out
of
this.
This
area,
so
senator
westfield
is
correct.
D
We've
got
a
lot
of
value-added
products
that
are
coming
out
of
the
wheat
that
is
being
being
produced
by
kentucky
farmers
from
a
pretty
big
radius
in
the
state
that
is
bringing
in
there,
and
we
also
had
had
a
had
a
celebrity
dan,
the
pancake
man
that
was
there
making
pancakes
in
the
likeness
of
our
sponsors
and
also
the
commissioner
had
had
one
made
in
his
likeness,
and
so
I
thought
that
was
pretty
good.
D
I
have
challenged
him
to
update
his
profile
pic
to
his
pancake,
so
we'll
be
watching
his
social
media
to
see
if
that
happens,
as
I
mentioned
heading
this
week
to
the
state
fair
kicking
that
off
to
what
we
think
will
be
be
a
fantastic
event.
So,
following
up
that's
my
activities,
but
what's
been
going
on
with
ag
development
and
our
board,
we
wrapped
up
our
two-day
retreat
just
prior
to
when
I
was
here
last
last
month
and
the
follow-up
work
continues.
D
This
would
be
our
extension
agent
partners,
our
administrators
of
our
programs,
our
county
council
members,
which
would
be
well
over
600
justin,
county
council
members
across
the
state
and
as
well
as
members
of
the
kentucky
ag
council,
which
would
have
representation
from
all
of
our
commodity
groups
and
ag
leaders
across
the
state
a
list
of
over
1400
stakeholders
that
we've
identified
that
in
some
way
are
participating
in
our
programs
and
we'll
have
our
results
of
this
survey
back
the
end
of
the
month,
we'll
be
compiling
this
and
then
we're
having
a
second
two
day
retreat
in
october
and
both
chairman
emery
and
co-chairman
dawson.
D
I
would
like
to
to
ask
is
going
to
work
with
our
schedule
that
our
two
day
session
will
be
beginning
the
afternoon
following
our
october
oversight
committee
meeting
and
I'm
going
to
extend
an
invitation
unless
we're
having
any
issues
with
with
capacity
for
our
board
members
to
to
attend.
We
had
some
board
members.
That
said,
you
know,
we've
never
been
to
an
oversight
meeting,
and
I
thought
this
would
be
a
fantastic
opportunity
for
engagement
with
this.
D
This
this
oversight
committee
and
our
current
directors
on
both
the
ag
finance
council
and
the
ag
development
board
so
we'll
coordinate
that
as
as
we
get
closer
to
time,
but
would
would
like
to
do
that.
With
your
permission,
we
also
had
had
turnover
on
the
ag
finance
council.
D
We
had
a
resignation
of
board
member
donald
mitchell,
who
was
a
tobacco
farmer
from
woodford
county
commissioner
quarles
on
friday,
made
the
appointment
of
dan
flanagan,
who
will
be
replacing
donald
on
our
board
and
dan,
a
long
time
known
in
the
ag
world
across
kentucky
he's
a
taylor
county
farmer,
president
of
the
kentucky
poultry
federation
past
chair
of
the
kentucky
council
of
ag,
and
then
also
a
very
interesting
thing
on
his
bio.
That
suits
him
well
for
our
ag,
finance
is
he's
a
former
board
member
on
the
national
farm
credit
council.
So
he
is.
D
He
has
served
there
at
the
the
national
level
there.
So
we're
we're
excited
that
we
were
able
to
get
another
great
board.
Member
coming
on
and
dan
was
appointed
and
and
made
it
to
the
first
board
meeting
two
hours
later.
So
we're
thankful
for
that
and
believe
he
will
provide
great
service
to
kentucky
farmers
and
with
that
I'll
conclude
and
turn
it
over
to
deputy
director
mccloskey
for
a
summary
of
our
projects.
E
E
And
if
we
go
to
page
five
we'll
get
into
the
update
on
the
project,
so
another
meat
processor
was
approved
for
two
hundred
and
fifty
thousand
dollars.
Dowdy's
custom
meets
in
graves
county.
It's
about
a
five
hundred
thousand
dollar
improvement.
Just
to
remind
you
that
to
date,
over
six
million
dollars
has
been
approved
in
ag
development
funds
and
including
as
two
million
dollars
in
cares
money
to
help
increase
our
harvest
capacity
across
the
state,
and
this
is
an
ongoing
business
that
primarily
did
deer
processing
and
taxidermy
business.
E
So
they
ventured
into
the
custom
business
of
processing,
three
cattle
and
one
hog
a
week
with
this
upgrade
to
their
facility
they'll,
be
able
to
go
to
full
capacity,
12
cattle
and
5
hogs,
and
also
moving
towards
from
a
custom
operation
to
a
usda
graded,
which
gives
farmers
the
ability
to
sell
product.
After
it's
been
processed
to
the
public
versus
custom,
it
can
only
be
used
for
personal
use,
all
right.
Moving
on
to
page
six,
give
you
an
update
on
red
leaf
biologics.
E
This
is
a
project.
That's
moving
out
of
the
research
phase
in
the
uk
university
kentucky
incubator
program,
they're.
Looking
to
contract
with
farmers
to
raise
red
sorghum,
as
you
see
in
the
narrative
that
has
a
lot
of
nutraceutical
properties,
a
lot
of
research,
a
lot
of
opportunity
in
a
in
a
business
if
they
could
capture,
one
percent
of
the
business
would
be
over
150
million
dollars
in
opportunities
working
with
farmers,
and
this
was
structured
as
a
direct
loan
where
they
can
access
the
money
to
buy
this
equipment.
E
So
going
from
a
research
phase
to
to
a
pilot
commercial
operation
working
with
about
three
farmers
to
grow
red,
sorghum
and
low
in
the
in
in
this
central
kentucky
area,
and
rather
than
do
a
grant,
the
board
structured
this
again
as
a
direct
loan
access
to
the
funds
up
to
12
months
and
then
it'd
be
interest
only
payment
into
the
second
year
and
third
year.
At
that
point,
then
they
could
refinance
it
working
with
the
local
lender.
Once
we
had
a
chance
to
reevaluate
the
business
rather
than
just
do
a
grant.
E
No
questions
I'll
move
on
to
page
seven,
another
processor,
so
we've
the
board
has
approved
projects
anywhere
from
in
this
case.
You
know
twenty
five
hundred
dollars
up
to
250
thousand
dollars,
part
of
some
of
our
bigger
projects,
meat,
processors,
startups.
Some
of
them
have
been
a
two
and
a
half
million
dollar
project.
E
So
this
is
a
smaller
project,
but
this
will
allow
them
to
increase,
as
you
can
see
here
in
the
narrative
increase
their
capacity
10
additional
on
a
beef
equivalent
right
now,
they're
processing
about
30
beef
a
week
and
45
hogs,
moving
on
to
page
eight
with
applicant
being
j
anderson
farm
still
sticking
with
the
the
beef
theme
here,
representative
king.
This
is
a
feasibility
study
where
the
board
approved
half
the
cost
of
it
and
they're
going.
C
E
E
By
added
grant
to
look
at
evaluating
a
meat
processing
facility
in
southeast
kentucky
that
may
process
up
to
100
animals,
they
would
look
at
cool
cows
or
finished
cattle
and
see
if
that's
going
to
be
feasible.
The
entity
that
will
be
doing
the
feasibility
study
is
an
entity
you're
all
familiar
with.
We
work
quite
extensively
with
k-card
kentucky
center
for
agriculture
and
rural
development.
E
E
E
Page
10,
so
representative
dawson,
this
is
going
to
be
one
you're.
Familiar
with
this
is
the
christian
county
agriculture,
agriculture,
extension
foundation,
approved
for
thirty
thousand
dollars
as
part
of
a
over
a
sixty
thousand
dollar
improvement
in
commercial
kitchen
in
their
newly
established
ag
expo,
and
they
just
recently
had
a
ribbon
cutting.
E
Next,
moving
on
to
page
11.,
we've
got
the
heinemann
settlement
school
in
knott
county
was
approved
for
five
thousand
four
hundred
forty
five
dollars
to
upgrade
their
farmers
market,
and
this
is
this
is
state
money
that
was
allocated
accounts.
I've,
given
you
updates
over
the
last
year,
where
the
state
board
committed
484
thousand
dollars
to
counties
that
received
less
than
30
thousand
dollars
on
an
allocation.
Of
course
not
rep,
senator
webb,
not
in
pike
or
two
counties,
did
do
I
not
receive
based
on
the
formula.
E
I
think
you
were
part
of
that
developing
that
formula,
so
they
were
allocated
thirty
thousand
dollars
and
they're
using
this.
This
amount
for
the
farmer's
market
and
the
difference
has
been
used
to
to
offer
first
ever
cape
program,
the
cost
share
program,
county
agriculture,
investment
program
and
that
wraps
up
the
projects
and
then
you've
got
the
press
release.
That's
page
12,
13
and
14.
A
Now
our
next
presentation
is
it
a
remote?
Yes,
okay,
we're
ready
for
the
division
of
conservation,
presentation,
paulette,
acres,.
F
Hello,
how
are
you
my
name
is
paulette
akers.
I
am
trying
frantically
to
share
my
screen.
F
F
Do
you,
okay?
Well,
we
will
just
roll
with
it.
That
way.
Give
me
just
a
second,
so
I
can
make
sure
and
see
what
you're
seeing
go
ahead.
Sure,
as
I
mentioned,
my
name
is
paulette
acres.
I
am
the
director
of
the
division
of
conservation
in
your
folder.
You
should
have
a
couple
of
things.
One
is
a
one-page
front
and
back
summary
of
state
cost
share
over
the
past
few
years.
F
The
other
thing
you
should
have
is
a
powerpoint
presentation
and
that's
just
a
few
slides,
but
the
first
slide
talks
about
how
tobacco
master
settlement
had
been
just
state
cost
share
for
the
division
of
conservation,
but
in
the
last
year
it
actually
included
the
907
300,
indirect
aid
to
conservation
districts.
F
So
there
was
just
under
2.5
million
that
was
given
to
the
cost
share
portion
and
then
the
907
300
for
direct
aid.
The
next
slide
should
show
you
a
map
of
how
that
direct
aid
was
distributed
across
the
state.
That's
done
through
a
formula
by
the
soil
and
water
conservation
commission
based
on
the
needs
of
those
counties.
So
it's
not
evenly
distributed.
F
It's
based
on
whether
or
not
they
receive
millage
tax
and
what
their
balance
is
and
whether
or
not
they've
turned
in
everything
they
were
supposed
to
in
the
past
couple
of
years
in
terms
of
their
reporting
to
dlg
their
annual
financial
reports,
their
budgets,
all
of
that
fun
stuff
that
everybody's
required
to
do
so.
The
one
after
that
hold
on
I'm
getting
to
where
you
all
are
those
two.
I
could
do
off
the
top
of
my
head,
but
let's
see.
F
F
F
We
have
about
67
percent
of
those
that
have
been
paid
already.
There
were
722
individuals
that
received
awards
for
just
over
four
and
a
half
million
dollars.
We
still
have
about
200
000
that
we're
waiting
on
people
to
send
in
receipts.
F
Following
that
you
have
a
map
of
where
those
funds
went
fiscal
year
20
was
awarded
in
january
of
2020.
There
were
864
individuals
who
requested
the
funds
for
close
to
7
million.
We
awarded
705
for
four
and
a
half
million
dollars
we're
about
17
months
into
those
projects
we
have
15
canceled,
47
percent
paid
and
about
1.7
left
to
pay
in
those
the
slide
after
that
is
a
map
of
where
those
are
located
fiscal
year
21
was
just
approved.
F
We
were
able
to
approve
592
individuals
for
just
under
six
million,
so
we're
just
really
getting
these
beginning
to
get
these
on
the
ground,
because
it
takes
us
a
while
to
get
plans
for
these
and
the
weather
to
cooperate
so
we're
five
months
in
we
have
two
percent
canceled
four
percent
paid
and
still
5.6
million
to
distribute
from
this.
F
Then
you
have
a
map
of
where
those
funds
are
following
that
you
should
have
two
more
maps.
Those
maps
are
cumulative
for
all
27
years
of
us
doing
cost
share
the
darker
the
county,
the
more
things
that
we
have
had
applied
in
those
areas,
and
then
you
have
a
slide
for
the
account
balance.
If
you
look
at
our
account
balance
today,
it'll
be
just
over
well
close
to
13
million
dollars,
12.9
there's
907
300
in
direct
aid
that
was
just
deposited
in
july,
so
we
haven't
distributed
those
funds.
F
We
still
have
one
project
outstanding
in
the
rcpp
program
we
had
from
about
six
years
back
and
there
is
a
required
10
contingency
aside
of
342
340,
which
leaves
our
actual
balance
of
unobligated
funds
just
over
4
million.
F
We
are
currently
accepting
applications
for
this,
so
they
have
until
november
15th
of
2021
to
apply,
and
we
would
anticipate
distributing
all
of
that
four
million
in
january
at
the
soil
and
water
conservation
commission
meeting
following
the
end
of
the
cost
share
deadline.
F
I
do
have
a
slide
following
that.
Just
to
give
you
guys
some
idea
of
what
the
need
is.
F
We
we
actually
had
a
little
bit
less
applications
in
calendar
year
20,
because
we
had
done
two
cost
share
rounds
back
to
back
six
months
apart.
Instead
of
a
year
apart,
we
still
had
864
individuals
who
asked
for
6.7
million
in
calendar
year
21.
These
are
the
ones
that
we
funded
in
february
of
this
year,
so
they
applied
all
of
2020
and
we
had
1179
individuals
apply
for
just
over
12.4
million
dollars.
F
B
Thank
you,
mr
chair,
and
thank
you
miss
akers
for
being
here
with
us
today.
You
know
I
have
served
on
this
committee
for
many
years,
so
please
pardon
my
ignorance,
but
is
are
all
of
the
allocations
directly
from
tobacco
settlement
or
are
there
any
general
fund
dollars?
I
tried
to
look
through
the
one
pager
and
your
powerpoint.
Please
help
me
understand
that
better
and
I
apologize
for
not
knowing
that
already.
F
B
Thank
you.
You
stated
that
most
of
the
applications
go
for.
What
would
you
repeat
that
fencing
and
something
maybe
so.
F
F
A
Okay,
we're
ready
for
the
kentucky
tobacco.
B
G
Okay,
well,
thank
you
good
morning.
Thank
you
very
much
for
having
me.
As
you
know,
my
name
is
ellen
cartmill
and
I
am
the
new
manager
of
the
kentucky
tobacco
prevention
and
cessation
program.
I'm
going
to
be
speaking
with
you
today
about
our
initiatives
to
protect
the
health
and
economic
interests
of
kentuckians,
as
well
as
the
effects
of
our
tobacco
settlement
agreement
funds
on
our
work,
so
our
program
uses
an
evidence-based,
three-prong
approach.
The
first
strategy
is
to
prevent
youth
from
ever
becoming
addicted
to
nicotine.
G
The
second
is
to
help
people
who
want
to
quit
using
tobacco
products,
and
the
third
is
to
protect
kentuckians
from
exposure
to
secondhand
smoke
I'll,
go
into
more
detail
on
why
our
on
what
these
three
strategies
entail
and
why
they're
important,
but
I'd
like
to
start
off
by
talking
specifically
about
our
funding
and
what
enables
us
to
do
this
work.
G
So
the
tobacco
prevention
and
cessation
program
is
funded
by
master
settlement
agreement
funds,
but
we're
also
funded
by
two
grants
from
the
cdc
and
those
cdc
grants,
pay
the
majority
of
our
salary
fringe
and
indirect,
as
well
as
travel
and
behavioral
risk
factor.
Surveillance
system,
questions
that
allow
us
to
collect
the
data
we
need
in
order
to
measure
the
scope
of
the
problem.
I
was
glad
to
hear
representative
king's
question.
G
We
have
not
received
a
general
fund
allocation
in
the
past,
as
you
can
see,
here's
a
breakdown
of
how
we
plan
to
spend
our
msa
allocation,
specifically
for
the
last
fiscal
year
as
well
as
the
one
that
began
july
1st.
In
each
year
we
did
receive
a
2
million
allocation
from
the
legislature,
and
last
year
this
was
a
43
decrease
from
our
previous
funding
levels.
We
were
able
to
use
some
carryover
funding
from
previous
years
in
order
to
continue
programming
somewhat
normally
last
year.
In
spite
of
that
43
cut.
G
G
We
also
have
contracts
with
partner
organizations
like
the
kentucky
cancer
program
and
the
university
of
kentucky
college
of
nursing.
Furthermore,
we
have
two
quit
lines
that
provide
no-cost
services
to
all
kentuckians
who
want
to
quit
using
tobacco
products.
And,
finally,
we
conduct
awareness
campaigns
to
be
sure,
kentuckians
know
not
only
about
the
dangers
of
tobacco
use,
but
also
those
free
resources
to
help
them
quit
and
much
of
those
awareness
campaign,
expenses
and
quit
line
expenses
are
also
underwritten
by
our
grants
from
the
cdc.
G
So
in
order
to
give
a
little
bit
more
context,
I've
created
this
graph
that
shows
the
amount
of
msa
budgeted
for
by
the
legislature
and
then
received
by
the
state
over
the
past
11
years.
It
has
fluctuated
widely
during
that
time,
as
you
can
see,
but
we
are
at
a
high
point,
having
received
126
million
dollars
in
2021.
G
that
bottom
line
in
dark
blue
that
almost
looks
flat
is
what
has
been
allocated
to
prevention,
prevention
and
cessation
for
tobacco
and
the
red
numbers.
Tell
you
the
percent
of
projected
msa
that
has
been
allocated
to
prevention
and
cessation.
So,
as
you
can
see,
in
2018,
we
were
receiving
over
3
percent
of
the
msa
fund
and
now
we're
receiving
less
than
two
percent.
G
So
if
we
zoom
in
just
to
that
line
and
look
only
at
it,
you
can
see
it's
it's
not
really
as
flat
as
we
thought
it
was,
and
we
can
see
how
drastic
the
changes
have
been,
particularly
that
drop
from
3.4
million
to
2
million.
Last
year.
It's
important
to
note
that
while
we
did
technically
receive
less
funding
dollar
wise
in
2015
than
we
did
this
year,
we
were
actually
receiving
quite
a
bit
more.
G
When
you
look
at
the
percent
of
total
msa
in
2015,
we
were
receiving
2.4
of
total
msa
versus
1.9
percent
this
year.
I'll
also
take
this
opportunity
to
mention
that
the
cdc
recommended
budget
for
tobacco
prevention
and
cessation
in
kentucky
is
56.4
million
annually,
and
so
we
are
currently
receiving
3.5
of
the
recommended
amount.
G
So
why
is
this
so
important?
There
are
many
reasons,
the
first
being
that
tobacco
use
is
still
the
number
one
leading
cause
of
preventable
death
and
disability
in
our
state.
It
kills
more
kentuckians
than
alcohol
use,
drug
use,
aids,
car
accidents,
murders
and
suicides
combined,
and
these
debts
only
reflect
the
number
of
people
who
actually
die
from
their
own
cigarette
smoking.
It
does
not
include
those
affected
by
other
tobacco
products
like
dip
or
chew,
and
it
does
not
include
exposure
to
secondhand
smoke.
G
Tobacco
use
also
has
a
huge
financial
toll
on
our
state
and,
while
tobacco
taxes
do
bring
kentucky
around
503
million
dollars
annually,
tobacco
use
is
costing
the
state
589.8
million
each
year
in
medicaid
expenses
alone,
so
just
medicaid
and
the
total
that
kentucky
is
spending
on
smoking.
Direct
healthcare
costs
related
to
smoking
is
1.92
billion
and
again
that
does
not
factor
in
lost
productivity
or
any
other
economic
effects.
G
All
of
this
is
affecting
the
state's
economy.
To
quote
former
u.s
surgeon,
general
jerome
adams,
the
second
highest
expense
for
most
companies
is
healthcare,
and
the
biggest
driver
of
healthcare
expenses
is
smoking
rates.
This
is
one
of
many
reasons
why
prevention
and
cessation
programs
for
tobacco
are
considered
a
public
health
best
buy
and,
as
you
can
see
on
your
screen,
the
cdc
estimates
that,
for
every
one
dollar
we
spend
on
a
comprehensive
tobacco
prevention
and
cessation
program
kentucky
can
expect
a
55
return
on
investment.
G
So,
in
order
to
combat
those
deadly
health
effects
and
the
financial
financial
toll
of
tobacco
use,
we
do
have
those
three
goals
that
I
mentioned
at
the
very
beginning
of
my
presentation.
The
first
of
those
is
to
help
prevent
people
from
ever
getting
addicted.
In
the
first
place,
nicotine
addiction
is
expensive,
it
starts
young
and
it's
tough
to
quit.
90
of
smokers
are
addicted
to
nicotine
by
the
age
of
18..
99
are
addicted
by
the
time
they're
26..
This
is
because
the
adolescent
brain
is
still
developing
until
about
age
25..
G
So
in
our
program
we
focus
on
youth
because
the
later
in
life,
a
person
tries
their
first
tobacco
product,
the
less
likely
they
are
to
get
become
addicted.
To
it,
however,
e-cigarettes,
which
I'm
sure
you
all
have
heard
about
consistently
they're,
throwing
a
major
wrench
into
our
prevention
work.
As
you
can
see
from
this
chart,
youth
vaping
has
skyrocketed
nationwide.
Over
the
past
decade
we
have
some
data
for
kentucky
that
shows
e-cigarette
use
among
high
school
sophomores
jumped
200
percent
between
2016
and
2018
alone.
G
G
So,
in
addition
to
the
youth
vaping
crisis,
being
tragic
in
its
own
right,
trends
indicate
that
the
youth
vaping
epidemic
has
the
strong
potential
to
lead
to
a
new
smoking
epidemic.
Discussion
of
youth
vaping
frequently
mentions
a
new
generation
of
smokers.
Former
surgeon,
general
jerome
adams
described
e-cigarettes
as
priming
the
brain
for
addiction.
G
So
what
are
we
doing
about
that?
Our
program's
goals,
in
terms
of
curbing
the
youth
vaping
epidemic,
are
to
equip
schools
with
the
resources
that
they
need,
provide
peer
education
to
young
people
and
generally
work
on
awareness
to
help
people
understand
the
dangers
of
youth
e-cigarette
use.
In
a
few
weeks,
every
public
and
private
school
that
serves
sixth
grade
and
older
in
kentucky
will
receive
a
toolkit
with
evidence-based
resources
to
help
them
curb
that
epidemic
that
they're,
seeing
in
their
schools.
G
We
also
continue
to
invest
in
peer-to-peer
education,
such
as
through
the
university
of
kentucky's
hashtag
I
can
and
the
trend
program
which
conducted
67
presentations,
many
of
which
had
to
be
virtual
last
year
with
kentucky
middle
or
high
school
students
at
no
cost
to
the
schools.
So
we
know
that
young
people
are
much
more
likely
to
listen
to
their
peers,
so
this
model
has
proven
very
effective.
G
G
G
Our
next
goal
is
to
help
anyone
who
wants
to
quit
do
so,
and
we
know
that
around
70
of
smokers
say
that
they
want
to
quit.
However,
because
nicotine
is
so
addictive,
it's
very
difficult
to
quit
without
a
plan
or
help.
G
One
of
our
particular
focus
areas
for
the
quit
line
is
pregnant.
Women
kentucky
has
the
second
highest
rate
of
smoking
during
pregnancy,
in
the
nation,
with
over
18
percent
of
kentucky's
pregnant
women,
saying
that
they
smoked
at
some
point
during
their
pregnancy
that
can
lead
to
low
birth
weight.
Babies,
cleft
palate
and
even
miscarriages
carbon
monoxide
and
cigarette
smoke
can
keep
acetis
from
receiving
enough
oxygen.
G
G
G
Tools
that
they
need
in
order
to
do
so
at
no
cost
to
them.
The
third
target
group
for
us
is
people
with
behavioral
health
conditions.
Research
has
shown
that
people
with
a
mental
health
diagnosis
like
anxiety,
depression,
ptsd,
etc,
are
more
likely
to
be
tobacco
users,
but
they're,
just
as
likely
as
the
rest
of
the
population
to
want
to
quit,
and
so
our
goal
is
for
every
community
mental
health
center
in
the
commonwealth
to
have
at
least
two
certified
tobacco
treatment.
G
Specialists
on
staff
and
those
are
people
who
are
professionals
who
are
trained
to
help
them
quit
smoking.
And
finally,
our
newest
program,
which
I
mentioned
a
moment
ago,
is
offering
quit
quick,
coaching
and
other
free
resources
directly
to
teens,
and
that
is
called
my
life.
My
quit.
It
offers
texts
and
phone
based
coaching
to
anyone
under
team
under
18
who
wants
help
quitting
smoking
products,
including
e-cigarettes.

Finally,
our
third
main
goal
of
our
program
is
to
protect
people
from
exposure
to
second-hand
smoke,
which
kills
around
41
000
people
in
the
united
states
every
year.
Currently,
we
do
not
have
a
state
law
in
kentucky
prohibiting
smoking
in
workplaces,
and
only
36
percent
of
kentuckians
are
protected
from
second-hand
smoke
in
their
workplace
by
a
comprehensive
local
ordinance,
and
you
can
see
the
map
of
where
those
communities
are
there
on
your
screen.
G
Breathing
secondhand
smoke
can
trigger
asthma
attacks
and
heart
attacks,
worsen,
copd
and
even
result
in
sudden
infant
death
syndrome.
It's
also
one
of
several
reasons.
As
the
other
things
I
mentioned
today,
why
kentucky
has
the
nation's
highest
rate
of
new
lung
cancer
cases?
We
know
that
regularly,
breathing
secondhand
smoke
in
your
workplace
or
your
home
does
increase
your
risk
of
developing
lung
cancer
by
20
to
30
percent.
G
So,
as
I
wrap
up
I'd
like
to
share
that
in
the
past,
we
have
provided
funding
to
for
these
three
goals
to
every
county
in
the
state,
through
partnership
with
the
41
local
health
departments.
In
kentucky
this
was
funding
for
in-person
quit
smoking
classes,
education
in
schools
work
with
coalitions
things
like
that.
However,
unfortunately,
due
to
the
budget
cuts
that
we
have
received,
we
have
had
to
cut
our
financial
support
to
local
health
departments.
G
In
the
current
fiscal
year,
we
went
from
providing
two
million
dollars
in
local
funding
to
health
departments
to
providing
just
one
million
in
the
current
fiscal
year,
and
we
also
moved
to
only
funding
18
of
those
health
departments
and
they
were
chosen
through
a
competitive
application
process
this
year.
The
map
that
you
can
see
shows
you
exactly
which
health
departments
are
receiving
funding.
The
counties
in
white
are
those
that
are
receiving
zero
state
dollars
for
tobacco
prevention
and
cessation
in
the
current
fiscal
year.
G
G
Unfortunately,
we
do
not
currently
have
the
resources
to
implement
every
strategy
that
we
know
works
or
partner
with
every
community
or
partner
who
needs
our
funding.
However,
we
do
remain
committed
to
helping
as
many
youth
as
possible
from
ever
becoming
addicted
to
nicotine,
helping
the
70
of
tobacco
users
who
want
to
quit
and
protecting
all
smokers
from
secondhand
smoke.
G
A
A
You
did
an
outstanding
job,
there's
no
questions.
Thank
you.
Your
presentation
certainly
points
out
things
we
should
be
concerned
about
and
we
hope
we
can
be
of
assistance.
Thank
you.
