Dana Hampton, a former patient of Rinova Pain Clinics that was abandoned when her clinic in Clarksville shut down suddenly last month, holds in her hands what could be her last supply of medication at the Hampton household in Cerulean, KY., on Monday, June 3, 2019. With a dwindling supply of pain medication and no way to access her medical records, getting a new pain doctor will be challenging. "We're tired of having to start over," Hampton said about being stuck needing to get new doctors. "This isn't about opioid abusers," she said. "It's about patients abandoned by doctors." Hampton said she may need to start rationing the supply while she and her husband look for a new doctor. Hpt Dana Hampton Rinova Clinic 03

Students in the Munroe Elementary School after-school garden club (L-R) Anai Carrillo, Jessica Grimaldo, Andrea Torres and Sandaley Haileseolph at the table in the foreground chop vegetables to put in a stir fry dish they would cook in Denver, Colorado May 9, 2012. The students learn to grow and prepare healthy meals in the school's garden club, with some of the food going to the school's lunch program. Colorado has the second fastest growing childhood obesity rate in the nation says non-profit LiveWell Colorado. Groups like Livewell are working to reduce childhood obesity by supporting school gardens, especially in low income areas, to provide learning about healthy food while actually providing nourishment. Studies have shown that children are more likely to try eating fresh fruit and vegetables if they are involved in growing them. Photo taken May 9, 2012.

Students board their school bus in a sub-zero temperature in Minneapolis, January 8, 2014. A deadly blast of arctic air shattered decades-old temperature records as it enveloped the eastern United States on Tuesday, snarling air, road and rail travel, driving energy prices higher and overwhelming shelters for homeless people. According to AccuWeather.com, the extreme cold won't last much longer. The frigid air and "polar vortex" that affected about 240 million people in the United States and southern Canada will depart during the second half of this week, and a far-reaching January thaw will begin, according to AccuWeather.com.
