To Kill a Mockingbird
May 15 - 17, 2009
This American classic based upon Harper Lee's Pulitzer Prize winning novel, TO KILL A MOCKINGBIRD is set in the rural American South during the Depression.
Two children watch as their principled father takes a stand against intolerance. Atticus Finch is a lawyer in a racially divided Alabama town in the 1930s. He agrees to defend a young black man who is accused of raping a white woman. Prejudice, racism, and human values are not issues of a particular time; they are issues of all time. Atticus teaches his children that you never really understand a person until you consider things from his point of view... until you climb into his skin and walk around in it. TO KILL A MOCKINGBIRD audiences will experience a profoundly moving journey through this live performance.
Call (859) 233-4567 for more info.

Univerity of Kentucky Legacy Tuition
Through the Legacy Tuition Program, the University of Kentucky offers partial tuition awards to eligible non-resident undergraduate children of UK graduates. An eligible student is defined as a child whose mother, father, or step-parent has earned a bachelor, graduate, doctorate, or professional degree from the University of Kentucky, whose parent or step-parent is a member of the UK Alumni Association, and who would normally be subject to non-resident tuition rates.
Please note completion of a medical residency does not constitute a qualifying degree program. Also, parents that completed an associate degree from a former UK Community College are not considered qualifying graduates.
New first-time freshmen will be eligible for the Legacy Tuition Program for a total of eight semesters. Transfer students are eligible through the equivalent of their eighth semester of undergraduate study. Semesters of prior college enrollment at other institutions are considered in the total eight semesters.
Automatic renewal each semester is contingent upon the student's full-time enrollment on the UK main campus while maintaining a good academic standing and the qualifying parent's active membership in the UK Alumni Association. Eligibility for continued enrollment in the program will be verified each semester.
Students are required to complete the Legacy application in order to receive the benefits. The deadline to apply for the fall semester is February 15 or November 15 for the spring semester.
All other eligible students will receive $3,000 per year, for up to four years of undergraduate study.

Transportation for Seniors/Volunteer Opportunity
ITNBluegrass offers transportation for seniors 60 and older, and for adults who are visually impaired.
“It’s for people who don’t want to, don’t like to or can’t drive,” said Laura Dake, deputy director of Independent Transportation Network Bluegrass. “They may still drive but feel comfortable driving in the day, but not at night or when it rains or on Nicholasville Road.”
Volunteers, who undergo some training and background checks, drive their own automobiles to ferry ITNBluegrass members throughout Fayette County.
Qualifying members pay a $50 annual fee to join, then set up an account from which the cost of each trip is deducted. No cash is paid to the drivers, and no tipping is allowed.
For more information about the program or to volunteer as a driver, call (859) 252-8665.

September 11 – October 5, 2008
Ida B. Wells was a passionate, uncompromising, fiery champion of equality for women and black Americans. Wells was a suffragette, newspaper editor and publisher, co-founder of the NAACP, political candidate, mother, wife, and the single most powerful leader in the anti-lynching campaign in America. The music is unforgettable. Thompson weaves 20 classic spirituals sung a capella in five-part harmony into the stirring story of Wells’ brave life. An energetic, unsparing, illuminating and humorous play with music.
Tickets
All Regular Performances:
$25 Adults; $18 Seniors 65+; $15 Students
Student Rush Tickets available 15 before curtain on the night of the show for 7.50 (with valid student ID)
Tickets available by calling the LexArts box office at 859.233.0370 or on-line here.

Unnatural Causes: Is Inequality Making Us Sick?
The poor, minorities pay with their lives
Time and time again, research has shown that the poor and minorities come up on the short end of the longevity stick.Some of the blame can be placed on inactivity and dietary choices.But a four-part PBS documentary, Unnatural Causes: Is Inequality Making Us Sick, which first aired in March, shows mounting evidence that sometimes economic status, race and environment can be better predictors of health than our own poor choices.The documentary demonstrated how at each economic level — rich to middle class to poor — health declines at the same rate as our money.In two weeks, on Oct. 1, Dr. Adewale Troutman, executive director of the Louisville Metro Health Department, will lead a community forum in Lexington at which those indicators and others will be discussed.
Dr. Adewale Troutman
Community forum featuring Dr. Adewale Troutman
When: 6 to 8 p.m. Oct. 1.
Where: Kentucky Education Television Center, 600 Cooper Dr.
Cost: Free, but reservations are encouraged.
