New Lexington government website
Lexington has a new Web site. It's www.lexingtonky.gov.
Lexington is getting a new home in cyberspace. Starting Tuesday, LexingtonKY.gov is the city's official Web site.
In addition to a new Web address, the redesigned site lets users pay fines, apply for permits and sync their personal calendars with a city calendar.
New features on the site include:
■ The "Virtual Gateway" allows citizens to do business with the city online instead of standing in line. The goal is to identify and put 20 percent of the city's forms, fees and payments online within the next year, Dhuwaraha said.
■ Map It! is a feature that allows citizens to map the city's buildings, infrastructure, neighborhood organizations and criminal activity. Citizens can map their address to determine what council district they live in, their state representatives and city facilities, such as the closest public park, Dhuwaraha said.
■ "I Want To" is a drop down menu that answers many of the most frequently asked questions.
■ Citizens can sign up for a number of electronic newsletters, ranging from breaking news notices to construction updates.
For now, the city's lfucg.com e-mail addresses will continue to work, but the city will eventually migrate to LexingtonKY.gov e-mail addresses.

IRS to help homeowners refinance or sell homes
Associated Press - December 16, 2008 2:13 PM ET
WASHINGTON (AP) - The IRS is trying to make it easier for homeowners in financial straits to refinance or sell their homes.
The tax agency says it will speed up a process where federal tax liens do not inhibit efforts to refinance or restructure a mortgage loan.
Under the process, taxpayers can request that a tax lien be made secondary to other liens, such as that of a lending institution, or removed from the property a person is trying to sell.
"We don't want the IRS to be a barrier to people saving or selling their homes," said IRS Commissioner Doug Shulman.

Opportunties to Bless
1.There's a giant bin in the Newman Center (Holy Spirit Church) on Rose Lane that is collecting toys for a Christmas Store at theCatholic Action Center on 5th Street. The beauty of this "store" is that only adults are allowed to shop there when it opens the 22nd-24th, I believe. The twofold tenderness involved is that the poor or homeless mother or father is given the opportunity to pick seven items to give to their kids at no cost, which gives the parent the dignity of giving their child a gift, as well as the joy the child receives because he expected nothing.
2.The Community Christmas Store - giving presents to over 17,000 kidsthis year and in need of many gently used/new stuff...collecting items at Southland Christian, The Vineyard and Community Action Council Ibelieve. Merry Christmas!
3. The Salvation Army's Angel Tree.

Lexington Freecycle
Hey guys, check out www.freecycle.org
*WHAT IS FREECYCLE(TM) ABOUT?
There seems to be some confusion among some members lately, about what Freecycle(TM) is really about.
So, here is our interpretation.
First, what Freecycle is NOT about.
Freecycle is NOT about giving only to the poor.
It is NOT about getting as much free stuff as you can.
It is NOT about getting things to earn money on the side.
It is NOT about getting rid of junk that is better off in the landfill.
It is NOT about having other people cater to you because you have transportation issues.
Freecycle IS about keeping things out of the landfill.
It IS about giving away something that has no use in our life anymore to someone who could extend its usefulness a little longer.
It IS about giving gifts to people while clearing out our own clutter.
It IS about community.
When you post an offer, you are offering to give someone a gift. It is up to you to give this gift to whomever you feel would be the best recipient. You are not obligated to give your gift to someone who is rich, poor, single, married, has no kids, has 1 kid, has 15 kids, has a car, doesn't have a car, or has a purple octopus named George living in their backyard. You can choose the most polite, the rudest, the funniest, or the shortest response to receive your gift. You can put their names in a hat and do a draw, or you can wave your magic finger over your screen and pick one that way. You can choose the first, 3rd, or 53rd respondent. It is up to you.
When you post a wanted ad, or respond to an offer, you are requesting a gift. For example, if there are over 1000 people on this Freecycle list, poor, single, married, have no kids, have 1 kid, have 15 kids, have a car, don't have a car, or have a purple octopus named George living in your backyard, does not mean you are more worthy of receiving a gift from a fellow Freecycle member than the average person living down the street. Sending emails that don't include please or thank you are one way to not receive an item. Sending emails with nasty comments in them are one way to find you in a bit of trouble.
We are a community.
In every community, there are people who don't get along. And in most communities, when 2 people don't get along, they just avoid each other. To do that on Freecycle, all you have to do is set up a filter to send any email from someone you don't want to hear from straight into you trash bin. If you need help with that, let me know and I can help you.
So, just remember: If you're offering a gift, it's up to you who gets it. And if you're requesting a gift...well, be patient. Your turn will come eventually, but if you're not careful your name could end up on a 'will not give to' list.
Thanks So Much!

*WHAT IS FREECYCLE(TM) ABOUT?
There seems to be some confusion among some members lately, about what Freecycle(TM) is really about.
So, here is our interpretation.
First, what Freecycle is NOT about.
Freecycle is NOT about giving only to the poor.
It is NOT about getting as much free stuff as you can.
It is NOT about getting things to earn money on the side.
It is NOT about getting rid of junk that is better off in the landfill.
It is NOT about having other people cater to you because you have transportation issues.
Freecycle IS about keeping things out of the landfill.
It IS about giving away something that has no use in our life anymore to someone who could extend its usefulness a little longer.
It IS about giving gifts to people while clearing out our own clutter.
It IS about community.
When you post an offer, you are offering to give someone a gift. It is up to you to give this gift to whomever you feel would be the best recipient. You are not obligated to give your gift to someone who is rich, poor, single, married, has no kids, has 1 kid, has 15 kids, has a car, doesn't have a car, or has a purple octopus named George living in their backyard. You can choose the most polite, the rudest, the funniest, or the shortest response to receive your gift. You can put their names in a hat and do a draw, or you can wave your magic finger over your screen and pick one that way. You can choose the first, 3rd, or 53rd respondent. It is up to you.
When you post a wanted ad, or respond to an offer, you are requesting a gift. For example, if there are over 1000 people on this Freecycle list, poor, single, married, have no kids, have 1 kid, have 15 kids, have a car, don't have a car, or have a purple octopus named George living in your backyard, does not mean you are more worthy of receiving a gift from a fellow Freecycle member than the average person living down the street. Sending emails that don't include please or thank you are one way to not receive an item. Sending emails with nasty comments in them are one way to find you in a bit of trouble.
We are a community.
In every community, there are people who don't get along. And in most communities, when 2 people don't get along, they just avoid each other. To do that on Freecycle, all you have to do is set up a filter to send any email from someone you don't want to hear from straight into you trash bin. If you need help with that, let me know and I can help you.
So, just remember: If you're offering a gift, it's up to you who gets it. And if you're requesting a gift...well, be patient. Your turn will come eventually, but if you're not careful your name could end up on a 'will not give to' list.
Thanks So Much!

Praying 4 America
October 1 thru 30, 2008
On October 1, 2008, Consolidated Baptist Church will join thousands of churches across the country as we venture on 30 days of Praying 4 America. This is a critical time in the life of our country with the upcoming elections and other natural occurrences that have affected thousands of citizens nationwide.
You will be provided with everything you need to jumpstart your individual prayer vigil — a Prayer Map and calendar for all 50 states, and an additional calendar to lift up prayers to the Lord for personal strength and church revival, and a guide to get you started. You decide the time you will conduct this prayer in your own home. We also encourage you to include your children to join in your brief prayer time.
Make a commitment to unite with the body of Christ in this intercessory prayer journey by stopping by the table in the front lobby at Consolidated; your prayer tools will be given to you on the spot. Someone will be present after each service for the next two Sundays, September 28th & October 5th, and on Wednesday evening, October 1st.
Join what will probably be millions of folks across the United States in fervent prayer for our churches, our leaders, and our nation.

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)

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.
