Police join Click It or Ticket program
The Lexington Division of Police will join local and national law enforcement officers and highway safety advocates all across the country for the 2011 national Click It or Ticket seat belt enforcement mobilization, May 23-June 5.
During the mobilization, officers will be cracking down on motorists who fail to wear their seat belts – both day and night.
Because nighttime passenger vehicle occupants are among those least likely to buckle up and most likely to die in crashes when unrestrained, nighttime enforcement has become a priority of the Click It or Ticket mobilization. Of those who died in nighttime crashes in 2009, nearly two-thirds (62 percent) were not wearing seat belts at the time of their fatal crashes.

Scholarship -Deadline Approaching Soon!
The deadline to apply for the Robert Henry Hughes Memorial Scholarship is May 31, and takers are few.
The $1,000 scholarship, administered through Fayette County Judge-Executive Jon Larson's office, gives recipients $500 a semester and is renewable each year as long as the student maintains a 3.0 grade-point average.
Deputy Judge-Executive Stephen McFayden, who has been assigned to get the word out, said he has visited most Fayette County high schools and spoken with guidance counselors.
There is $35,000 available, he said, not including money that has been set aside for recipients who have maintained the required grade-point average.
Applicants need to submit a "hand-written essay" describing their accomplishments or need for the scholarship. The "hand-written" part might be the most difficult for some students in this age of computers.
The scholarship will be given equally to black and white students, McFayden said, according to the wishes of Hughes, who left $100,000 in his will to fund the scholarship.
Hughes died in 1935. He was biracial, with a black mother, Ellen Davis, and white father, John T. Hughes, a wealthy horseman and landowner.
Applications are available in counselor's offices at local high schools, McFayden said. Students also may email him at mcfaydengroup@gmail.com or call (859) 255-1001, and an application will be mailed to them. Remember, the deadline is May 31.

Whats Going On? (Stop Violence, Stop The Silence)
Since December of 2010, Lexington, KY has witnessed a spike in crime and a rash of homicides and shootings with the victims being young, African American males. If that isn't enough, we have people that have witnessed these crimes & refuse to speak out because of the perverted use of the "no snitching" mantra. On top of that, very few news outlets, politicians, athletes, and most importantly (because of our close ties to the s...treets) hip hop artists have not drawn these murders together to form a bigger picture & are not speaking out to OUR community about whats going on. Well The Devine Experience & Devassa will attempt to do our part in speaking out through ART!
The Devine Experience presents "Whats Going On?"
Theme: STOP THE VIOLENCE & STOP THE SILENCE
Date:Saturday May 21st

What to do when a child chokes;
How to stay safe while sitting;
How to call for emergency help;
Babysitting business skills;
Basic child care skills: diapering, feeding, etc.; and
How to entertain children and keep them safe.
Classes are held at 181 Lowry Lane and cost $30. To pre-register your son, daughter or babysitter call Stacie Trent at (859) 269-6357 or e-mail srgree0@email.uky.edu. The deadline to register is June 18.

With the initial rallying cry of abolitionist Henry Highland Garnet, “Let your motto be Resistance! Resistance! RESISTANCE! No oppressed people have ever secured their liberty without resistance”, African Americans specifically have been inspired to rise up and emancipate themselves.

With 69 matted and framed modern prints in the traveling exhibition and over 100 portraits in the exhibition catalogue, the exhibition’s focus on the varieties of resistance has inspired visitors of all generations and backgrounds.
Through the selected photographs of photography historian and guest curator Deborah Willis, the diversity of creative and courageous ways in which African Americans resisted, accommodated, redefined, and struggled through American history is impressively reflected not only by the subjects, but by the photographers themselves.

GM adds 250 jobs at Corvette plant in Ky.
General Motors is putting more muscle into making Corvettes.
The automaker said Wednesday it will invest $131 million - and add about 250 jobs - at the south-central Kentucky assembly plant that produces the classic muscle car.
The investment allows GM to produce the next-generation Corvette at the Bowling Green plant. Work to retrofit the site will begin even as the plant continues to assemble the Corvette for the next two model years, including the 2012 version.
Nearly 400 production workers now assemble Corvettes at the factory, the only GM site that builds the car and home to its production since 1981. About 1,000 people were employed at the plant at its peak in the 1980s, said Chevrolet spokesman David Caldwell.

Click Clack Moo: Cows That Type

Lyrics by George Howe and James E. Grote
Farmer Brown has a problem – he usually loves the noises on his farm, but ever since those cows found the old typewriter, all day long it’s click, clack, moo – click, clack, moo – clickety, clack, moo! And typing cows are just the beginning. An unusual note launches a milk revolution, and the chickens want in on it too. Did you ever hear of cows that type or farm animals that go on strike? Well, Farmer Brown does not know what to think! His life may get a little less moo-sical, but you and Duck are sure to have a quacking good time!
