such acts or practices. Upon a showing by the board that such person has engaged,
or is about to engage, in any such acts or practices, an injunction, restraining order,
or such other order as may be appropriate shall be granted by such court. Any order
of the Franklin Circuit Court shall be enforceable and shall be valid anywhere in
