Kentucky Historical Marker Dedication Celebrates the Origins of St. James Court and the St. James Court Art Show

Dedication Ceremony and Marker Unveiling To Take Place on Monday, September 3 Louisville, Kentucky (August 16, 2018) — The Kentucky Historical Society will unveil and dedicate a new historical marker on Monday, September 3, at 4 p.m. at the famed St. James Court fountain in the historic neighborhood of Old Louisville. The marker focuses on two stories, the original use of the land dating back to the 1800s, including the vision of Wm. H. Slaughter and the Victoria Land Co. to develop St. James Court, and that of it’s restoration and revitalization in the mid-1950s through the efforts of Malcolm Bird, Bob Smith, and Jim Perry, leading to the founding of the St. James Court Art Show, which grew into one of the nation’s largest under the leadership of Ann Higbie. Malcolm Bird’s nephew, Mark Bird has led the efforts over the past several years to remember and recognize the history of St. James Court and to honor a group of people who were pioneers in a movement that would later become known as “historic preservation”. Malcolm Bird was President of the St. James Court Association for 12 years during this time, and founded the St. James Court Art Show in 1957, as a means of raising money for the Association. “I believe that the placement of this marker finally recognizes the contributions of Malcolm Bird and his friends, to the revitalization of the neighborhood they treasured, and stands as a testament to the progress that can be achieved when working together toward a common goal.” – Mark D. Bird The 2018 St. James Court Art Show will welcome thousands of people to historic Old Louisville on October 5, 6 & 7. For more information visit www.stjamescourtartshow.com.

Tax Fraud Scammers Targeting Kentucky Business Owners

Lookalike IRS websites aim to steal business owner’s money, federal employer ID

FRANKFORT, KY. (Aug. 17, 2018) – Attorney General Andy Beshear is warning business owners to be wary of websites that charge for services that are provided for free by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS).

Beshear said an aspiring Kentucky business owner has reported a suspicious website, which mimics IRS.gov, but advertises services to help business owners obtain an Employer Identification Number (EIN) for a $250 to $300 fee, when it is free through IRS.gov.

Beshear said these types of websites are typically a guise to steal money and personal information from those starting a business, which can lead to tax fraud.

“Protecting our hard working families from con artists is one of my top priorities,” said Beshear. “Losing even a few hundred dollars to a scammer can be detrimental to a new business, and the most cost-effective way we can protect business owners is to make sure they know how to avoid scams in the first place.”

According to the IRS website, the EIN, also known as a Federal Tax Identification Number, is used to identify a business entity. The EIN can be applied for in various ways, including online. The IRS stresses on their website that the EIN is free, and those who apply receive their number immediately.

In addition, to the fee to obtain an EIN, lookalike websites collect personal information, including the victim’s Social Security number. With this information, scammers can fraudulently attempt to open business bank accounts, acquire business loans and credit accounts and even try to file state and federal taxes.

Beshear said there are many variations of these types of IRS scams, which target both new and current business owners.

Beshear’s Office of Consumer Protection recommends following the identity protection steps on the IRS website to avoid falling victim.

• Follow instructions provided on the official IRS.gov website. 
• Do not fall for an email, social media post or phone call purporting to be from the IRS, or a website that does not begin with www.irs.gov. The IRS does not originate contact with taxpayers by email or social media to request personal or financial information. Forward any scam communication or website to phishing@irs.gov.
• Be careful about sharing your Social Security or EIN number and only provide them when you initiate contact, or after you have verified the person or organization.
• Protect your computer by using security software, firewalls and keep security patches and passwords up to date.

Beshear said his office is fighting to stop con artists and asks Kentuckians to report scams and identity theft via his office’s online form.

Earlier this year, Beshear announced nearly 2,200 Kentucky small businesses would get money back from a Michigan-based company that alleged sold scam services. The more than $398,000 settlement by Beshear’s office resolved alleged violations of the Kentucky Consumer Protection Act by The Mandatory Poster Company Inc., which also does business as Corporate Records Service.

Beshear recommends all Kentuckians stay ahead of scammers by signing up for his office’s Scam Alerts. To enroll text the words KYOAG Scam to GOV-311 (468-311) or online at ag.ky.gov/scams and select text message or email alert.

St. George Scholar Institute Fall Programs Descriptions and Collaborations

2018-2019

Homework Helper/Tutoring 

Knowing youth struggle with learning and attention issues, it’s believed an afterschool program may feel more forgiving than school does. The stakes may not feel as high. As a result, they may be more willing to try new things and take more risks. This, in turn, can lead to higher education and higher self-esteem. The goal of our homework helper/tutoring is to provide support, build confidence, self-esteem and ensure youth reach academic success. This program is in partnership with volunteers, college students, and middle/high students.

In partnership with the Urban League this program offers development and college readiness program for middle and high school youth, offering individual goal planning, tutoring assistance, life skills training, mentoring, cultural activities and community service programming.

This Nike project focuses on teaching our youth the importance of team work, making healthy choices which is not only something that affects them physically but mentally as well. This helps further our agencies mission by enabling us to provide awareness to youth that will support them in becoming healthier and more successful. 

Always Sisters 

Mentoring program for at risk middle/high school females who may have experienced or may be in environments that promote risky and unhealthy behavior. The program focuses on sisterhood, mentorship, social development and awareness, self-esteem and community initiatives.

Going back to school? Look up your VA education benefits.

Need an education but don’t know where to start? Explore VA education and training benefits.

“We volunteered to serve and we have these benefits that are there for our using, so take advantage of them,” says Tammy, a Coast Guard Veteran.

VA education benefits may be used toward traditional degrees, non-college degrees, certifications, test fees and more. And, with the Colmery Act (also known as the Forever GI Bill), eligible Veterans have more time to finish their education. 

The legislation eliminates the 15-year time limit for those who left active duty on or after January 1, 2013. It also restores benefits for Veterans who lost them due to a school closure or disapproval, and more.

By using VA’s education benefits, Tammy has been able to work toward a career. “It enables me to go to school full time and not have to worry about working and going to school and paying for books. That’s all taken care of,” she says.

Colonel Charles Young Monument Ceremony

The Buffalo Soldiers of Kentucky will host a Memorial Dedication for Colonel Charles Young, a decorated American Military Commander, at a park named in his honor on September 22, 2018.  

The event will begin at 1 pm at Colonel Charles Young Park located at 2721 Lytle Street (Lytle Street West of 27th Street) in the Portland neighborhood.   Colonel Young is a native Kentuckian born in Mayslick, Kentucky.  The park is the site of a former African-American elementary school that opened in 1876 as the Portland Colored School and renamed Charles Young School during the 1925-26 school year. The school closed after the 1955-56 school year and was demolished, making way for the park soon after.

Another problem for one of MSD’s largest sewer lines

Problem is in a sewer pipe under Main Street that was already in danger of collapsing The 84-inch sewer pipe that MSD is preparing to repair now appears to have another problem.  On Sunday, a remote-control camera was put into the line for inspection. Video from the camera shows a 5- by 2-foot hole in the side of the pipe. Debris, including abandoned pipes, have fallen into the large sewer line from this hole. MSD last inspected this portion of the line on June 21, and this cave-in was not there. For public safety, MSD has further reduced Main Street traffic in this area. Only one lane is open to traffic on the north side of Main Street midway between Third and Fourth streets to midway between Fourth and Fifth streets. Access to the PNC garage is open. At this point, MSD is determining the amount of damage to the large pipe and how this will affect the ongoing planned repair of the sewer line. A team of outside experts and MSD engineers are looking at options that will allow safe entry into this pipe for a closer inspection. This will help us modify the repair plan. In the meantime, sewer service continues. There have been no injuries with this project or the cave-in. We ask for your patience and caution as you drive in this area for the safety of not only our workers but of pedestrians, as well. Background The sewer line was installed between 1958 and 1960 and is one of the city’s largest and most vital, carrying approximately 40 percent of Louisville’s wastewater flow. Known as the Ohio River Interceptor, the pipe carries wastewater to MSD’s Morris Forman Water Quality Treatment Center for treatment and release of the treated water into the Ohio River. In March, MSD discovered a problem with the pipe and closed part of Main Street between Fourth and Seventh streets. In June, MSD announced a $20 million project to repair the damaged section from Fourth to midway between Seventh and Eighth streets. The repair project for the interceptor pipe includes lining the interior of the pipe with corrosion-resistant PVC panels fit together by hand and sealed to the unique shape of the pipe. This repair essentially creates a sturdy new pipe inside the damaged pipe. The sewer pipe must be nearly empty for the repair to take place. To do this, MSD established a “pumparound,” which is a temporary sewer line that utilizes existing pipes to convey the wastewater from Main and Fourth streets to a temporary pumping station at Fourth Street and River Road. From there, the wastewater travels west in four temporary pipes along River Road, then up an embankment and around the floodwall, down West Washington Street to Ninth Street. The pipes continue up the hill on Ninth Street where the wastewater re-enters the existing sewer pipe under Main Street.
