 LG&E is improving the reliability of the natural gas service
in the PRP and Riverport areas. In order to slowly increase the natural
gas system pressure in your neighborhood, LG&E technicians need to
inspect the natural gas service lines and meters to each home and
business. This inspection ensures the integrity of the system.
If you are in the impacted area, you will receive a letter
outlining the project. This work will run between August 3 through
October 1.
If you have any
questions, please call 502-627-4427 or e-mail gas.regulatory@lge-ku.com

 The World Affairs Council of Kentucky and Southern Indiana is
seeking volunteers to host student delegates from Mexico from July 20 - August 1.
The "Jóvenes En Acción" Program, a summer exchange program
focused on civic education, community service, and youth leadership
development for Mexican high school students, is coordinating the visit of 14
students to Louisville! The program includes sub-themes that focus on how
local communities can develop "a culture of lawfulness by addressing
problems related to gangs, violence, substance abuse, bullying, human rights,
or social disintegration." Additionally, the program provides Mexican
high school students the opportunity to spend one month in the United States to
build leadership, communication, English language, and community engagement
skills. Participants engage in workshops, community service activities,
meetings with community leaders, and on-site visits.
If interested in hosting, or if you have additional questions, please contact: Christy Rhodes, Visiting programs Manager, christy.rhodes@worldkentucky.org, (502) 561-5422

 It
seems like every day there is a new data breach. The latest involves more than
10,000 current and past Louisville Metro Government employees whose personal
information may have been compromised. The breach involves names, home and
email addresses, birthdates, and social security numbers. Here are tips from
the BBB on how to protect yourself from a data breach:
-
Monitor your accounts
regularly. Check every charge on your
statements: Scammers often test cards with smaller charges before racking
up large bills. Confirm each charge on your account line by line.
-
Call your bank: Tell them you were a customer at the breached
institution. If your card was affected, the bank might contact you first
to issue a new card.
-
Sign up for alerts: Most banks allow customers to set email or text alerts
for transactions over a set value. Notifications make it easier to keep
tabs on your account.
- Accept or enroll in free
identity protection services that breached companies offer you: This
has become standard practice among breached companies.
-
Request a 90-day fraud alert: If your Social Security number was stolen in a breach,
ask the credit bureaus to put a note on your file so creditors know to
further verify the identity of any individual who attempts to open new
accounts or take other actions under your name. Notify one of the three
major bureaus — Experian, Equifax, or TransUnion, and it will tell the
others. This is not as effective as a security freeze.
-
Get a security freeze: A freeze will put your information on lockdown, meaning
the credit bureaus can’t give it out without your permission. In the event
that your Social Security number was stolen, it’s another worthwhile
precaution. A security freeze will not impact your credit score or impair
your ability to use your existing credit cards. It locks down your credit
reports that are used to determine your credit worthiness. When on a
freeze, opening new credit will require some minimal advanced planning. To
be effective, a freeze must be set up with all three credit bureaus.

Transunion https://freeze.transunion.com;
Equifax: https://www.freeze.equifax.com.
