This weeks' program investigates the state's epidemic of abuse, theft and trafficking of prescription drugs. By some measures, Maine has the worst problem in the nation.  The Maine Watch looks for answers to this problem with guests Timothy Wiegand of the Northern New England Poison Center and Joseph Massey, Waterville Chief of Police.

Also on this week's program, what kids want their parents to know about divorce and separation. The answers can be found in a new book by Portland's Kids First Center. Jennifer discusses the book and the program it's based on with Peg Libby, Director of the Kids First Center and Al Barthelman, Kids First Board Member and Divorced Dads Group Facilitator.

Plus, Maine Watch goes inside the upcomming "Uncommon Threads: Wabanaki Textiles, Clothing, and Costume" exhbit at the Maine State Museum.
