Eastern Kentucky University's "Try Teaching" program, in its seventh year, is accepting applications from mid- and second-career professionals who are considering a return to college for a degree in teaching.
The program allows participants to gauge their comfort level as a classroom teacher before making a life-changing career move.
The program, funded by a $175,000 grant from Covington-based Ashland Inc., has attracted 44 participants in its first six years. Each spent one or two weeks in a K-12 classroom, gaining firsthand experience as they assisted in the preparation and execution of lesson plans while learning successful educational practices from their teaching mentors.
Participants have the option of one- or two-week placements in middle and high schools throughout Central and southeastern Kentucky, as close to home as possible.
In addition to classroom time with a mentoring teacher, program participants spend time with a university-level educator to learn more about certification procedures, the teaching profession and career benefits.
The application deadline this year is June 30. For more information, contact Cynthia Resor at (859) 622-2165 or cynthia.resor@eku.edu. More information is available at Tryteaching.eku.edu.

Lexington Police to Hire 25 New Officers
Mayor Jim Gray announced Thursday that a $3.9 million grant will allow the city to hire 25 officers. It will be the first class of new hires in about two years.
The grant will pay for the officers' training, salaries and benefits for three years. The city is then obligated to keep the officers on for at least one additional year.
Despite some cost to the city once the grant runs out, including equipment and salaries, "it will be a fraction of what it would cost without the grant," city spokeswoman Susan Straub said.
There is no set date, but the hiring process will begin as soon as possible, police Cmdr. Doug Pape said. It takes about a year to get officers completely trained and patrolling on their own.
The 25 new hires will bring the total number of officers to about 549.

Own Your Own Business
Color Me Beautiful, an internationally – recognized cosmetic company is trying to make a dif-ference by offering “Business Grants” to candidates across the country – of all ages – who would like to own their own small business, but do not have the “start-up” funding to do so.
Color Me Beautiful is offering grants of up to $10,000 in free product and full start-up assis-tance to chosen candidates who wish to try their hand at owning a Mall Kiosk Cosmetic busi-ness. It is a small start, but there are no educational requirements, which means that the op-portunity could be life-changing for someone who never finished high school or college.
Color Me Beautiful Brands is the parent company for a number of premium cosmetic brands including Flori Roberts, Interface Cosmetics, and Patti LaBelle, specifically formulated for women of color.
“Our “Business Grants” will give worthy candidates an opportunity to own their own cosmetic business in malls across America—with no initial investment other than determination and ex-pert sales skills,” explains Steve DiAntonio, Chairman and CEO of Color Me Beautiful, Inc. “Rather than put them into a costly storefront with thousands in overhead, we set up these worthy entrepreneurs in a mall kiosk, provide them with top-selling cosmetic products from one of our six nationally-branded companies, pay the security deposit and first month’s lease, provide signage and marketing materials, and position the candidate with one of our already successful kiosk owners for a 6-week hands-on training program for which they get paid while they learn.”
Interested candidates should call and schedule an initial interview through Color Me Beauti-ful’s Kiosk Department—1-800-COLORME x 1351. From there, they will go through a series of interviews and skills evaluations. Once accepted, the candidate will be paired with a kiosk owner to begin training and their business ownership, for which they will be paid.

Unemployment Bridge Program
The Kentucky Unemployment Bridge Program (UBP) is a new forgivable loan option for eligible homeowners to assist them in making their mortgage payments. To be eligible, the homeowner must have experienced a job loss or reduction in income due to changing economic conditions, through no fault of their own, and demonstrate a need for assistance.
The UBP is not for job or income loss due to divorce, death, or disability.
The job-related event must have occurred since January 1, 2009. The maximum amount of assistance is $20,000 or 12 months, whichever occurs first. Of the $20,000, the maximum amount that may be used for reinstatement–all related fees and payments to bring your loan(s) current–is $7,500. To get started, click on Get Free Help at the top of the page.
Participants must meet the following guidelines and the mortgage must be with a participating servicer.
•Maximum amount of liens on the property cannot exceed $275,000.
•Maximum of two liens permitted on the property.
•Borrower’s principal, interest, taxes, and insurance (PITI) must exceed 31 percent of the gross monthly income, or
•Borrower must experience a 15 percent reduction in income.
•Maximum liquid reserves is six months PITI (excluding retirement funds).
•Borrowers must sign a hardship affidavit acknowledging the reduction in income due to no fault of their own.
•UBP is only available to borrowers whose mortgage servicing company agrees to partner with Kentucky Housing Corporation. A borrower cannot receive assistance if their servicer has not enrolled as a participating servicer. See if your servicing company is on this list. ◦If a second mortgage servicer IS NOT on the participating servicer list AND the borrower is current and willing to continue making the second mortgage payments WITHOUT UBP assistance, the borrower must complete the UBP Second Lien Notice.
