Special Recognition should also be extended to Principal Raymond Green, Assistant Principals' Majors and Beaumont, head coach Janelle Jenkins and coaches Makayla Pledger and Nicole Rousee for instilling hope in the hearts of these young women at a time when they need it the most and for helping them create a vision they may never be able to create on their own

 Family and friends of Alberta Jones joined Councilwoman Sexton Smith to dedicate, Alberta Jones, Esq. Blvd., an honorary street sign in Jones's honor to commemorate her life and legacy.
The sign is a tribute to her work toward fairness and equality in the city. Jones was an attorney, civil rights advocate and was Cassius Clay’s (Muhammad Ali) first attorney. Her life was cut short when she was murdered in August 1965. Her case remains unsolved to this day.
The steps pictured are the last place she was seen alive.

Is it hard to for you to get food where you live? What makes it easy or difficult? The Courier Journal wants to know. The newspaper has received support from the University of Southern California's Center for Health Journalism to embark on a project about food insecurity in Louisville, with the goal of presenting solutions that fit our community. You can help us make sense of what's going on here by taking this survey: We won't publish any information you share without your permission.

 See Something Say Something!!!!
We all know that
illegal dumping--putting waste on property that is not licensed as a disposal
facility--is an eyesore that is expensive to clean up, diminishes quality of
life, discourages economic development and even sends plastic debris into our
waterways.
That's why people caught dumping along our
city's alleys, sidewalks, fields and roadsides are subject to fines and
impoundment of any vehicle used in the dumping. That's where citizens can help
with the problem. If you witness illegal dumping while it's happening, report
it.
We've developed a new online form you can use to tell us where
it happened, describe the vehicle(s) involved, preferably with license plate
number(s), and even upload pictures. Of course you can always call
Metro Call 311 or 574-5000. For more information about illegal dumping,
including a link to the reporting form, visit our illegal dumping webpage.
