County underage drinking, drug abuse committee

Hardin County has received an $80,000 grant to deal with underage drinking and drug abuse. Two Ada people have been named to the 8-member advisory committee.

They are:
Michelle Musser, associate professor of pharmacy practice;
Rachel Jackson, a pharmacy student from Lebanon, Ohio.

Data will be gathered to find out the amount of underage drinking between the ages of 12 and 20 and drug misuse of people between 12 and 25.

A prevention specialist will be hired to work with the county's young people. The Partnership for Violence Free Families was awarded the grant from the Ohio Department of Mental Health and Addiction Services.
