House panel OKs child-welfare office
A House committee approved a bill yesterday to create a separate state office to work on reducing the disproportionate number of African Americans in the child welfare system.
Calling it a "very important issue," Rep. Darryl Owens, D-Louisville, sponsor of House Bill 666, said he doesn't want the state to lose ground on a project started last year.
His bill, approved by the House Health and Welfare Committee, would create the office within the Cabinet for Health and Family Services.

Gym quickly renamed to avoid '666' in address
The $11.8 million addition to Yokota's Samurai Fitness Center isn't quite ready, but base officials recently switched the building number from 666 to 665, apparently not wishing to stamp the new facility with the “Mark of the Beast.”
“When I first saw it, I just busted out laughing,” recalls fitness center director Pat Coleman. “I asked the contractors, 'Do you know what “666” means?' They said, 'Is it for good luck?' I said, 'No, it's like the number “4” in Japan. If we keep it “666,” we're gonna have to bless that building many, many times.'
