Spreading Free Smiles Across Lexington
Pearson Justice Dental 3285 Blazer Parkway Lexington, KYPearson Justice Dental will host Dentistry From The Heart (DFTH) – an event providing a day of free dental care to those in need, ages 18 and older.
It is anticipated that Dentistry From The Heart patients will travel from all across Kentucky to Pearson Justice Dental for this free day of dentistry, taking place from 9:00am until 4:00pm on Saturday, August 24th. The line may begin as early as the night before, and patients have been known to camp out for the services that will be provided.
In 2001, Dentistry From The Heart started with New Port Richey dentist, Dr. Vincent Monticciolo, as a way to give back to the community and provide aid to the growing number of Americans without dental insurance. Since its inception, Dentistry From The Heart has grown to include over 200 annual events nationwide. It is a registered non-profit organization that provides free dental work for those in need, and these events have provided more than 45,000 patients across the country with more than $8 million of free dentistry.
Pearson Justice Dental along with a team of dentists, volunteers, and sponsors will provide patients with a free extraction, filling, or cleaning on a first come, first serve basis. This is the first DFTH event for Pearson Justice Dental.
“It all comes down to wanting to provide something greater to my community,” said Dr. Laura Justice. “The services provided by Dentistry From The Heart help more than just a patient’s teeth, they give them a renewed reason to smile.”
The media is invited to join the hundreds of volunteers, patients, and Pearson Justice Dental on Saturday, August 24th to spread free smiles across Lexington through Dentistry From The Heart, located at 3285 Blazer Parkway.
For more information about the event, please visit www.dentistryfromtheheart.org or www.pearsonandjustice.com.

Salon Asa-Southland Dr. LexingtonThis is an event to raise money and for people to donate hair for Kaitlyn and for Children With Hairloss. Kaitlyn is 11 and a 6th grader at EJMS. She has alopecia totalis and lost all of her hair in September. She wanted a way to raise awareness for alopecia and to give something to those children who need wigs but can't afford them. So we created this event. Our goal is so have 1500 inches of donated hair-we already have 527 inches. Would LOVE to get the word out. Kaitlyn has presented a speech to all the 7th at school about alopecia. She is quite the go getter and a great example of self confidence and self image for teenage girls. She has been going to school bald since December. Our facebook page is under Kaitlyn's Kourage

Homeowners are becoming more aware of storm water management.

Rain gardens can be integrated into the existing landscape or included in initial landscaping plans. To effectively manage storm water, rain gardens must be accurately sized and properly constructed. This presentation will demonstrate a method for sizing, designing, and selecting appropriate plant material for a rain garden. FREE. Pre-register at 859-257-6955

Land of Tomorrow Presents: This Woman's Work
Mar 22, 2013 - Apr 5, 2013 6:00 P.M.
Land of Tomorrow, 527 E. Third St., Lexington, KY 40508A solo exhibition by Aurora Childs
On view at Land of Tomorrow, Lexington
March 22 – April 5, 2013
Opening reception at 6pm on Friday, March 22nd
Land of Tomorrow is pleased to present This Woman's Work, a solo exhibition by Lexington artist Aurora Childs. The show will open with a reception on Friday, March 22nd at 6pm and remain on display until April 5th.
This Woman's Work by Aurora Childs looks at labor, tools, and how our lives, though sometimes monotonous, create moments of tremendous beauty. Childs uses repetition and blasé materials to produce moments of beauty with chore based tools like the clothes iron and sewing machine. Through time-intense process and effort, the artist allows moments to happen that are analogous to a “holiday” from labor. These isolated moments occur as pigmented wax castings from cake molds, paintings produced with clothes irons, and drawings produced by sewing on paper.
Childs is a recent graduate of the University of Kentucky. Her work has been on display in the Expanded Music Project at Land of Tomorrow in 2011, The Lexington Art League, and the Carrie Ellis Juried Show in Barnhart Gallery in Lexington, KY.

Feb 28, 2013 12:00 P.M.
2400 Newtown Pike Lexington, KYThe Rotary Club of Lexington will hold its weekly meeting Thursday, February 28, at 12:00 p.m., at Fasig-Tipton, 2400 Newtown Pike. Jim Akers, Chief Operating Officer of the Blue Grass Livestock Marketing Group, will deliver the program. The title of the program is, “A Half Billion Dollar Secret Located in Lexington, Kentucky.” Jim will discuss the world market for beef and Kentucky’s contribution. Rotarian Jake Graves will introduce Mr. Akers.
Jim Akers was born and raised on a small tobacco and cattle farm in Hardin County, Kentucky and graduated from West Hardin High School in 1982. After studying agriculture at the University of Kentucky, he graduated with a B.S. in Animal Science in 1985. While at UK, Mr. Akers was a member of one of the most successful livestock judging teams in school history with three High Individual contest wins to his credit.
Jim Akers worked as a professional farm manager in Central Kentucky and then East Alabama for the next 15 years, with involvement in purebred and commercial cattle, sheep, tobacco, feed grains, hay and timber production. During this period he served the industry as President of the Kentucky Sheep and Wool Producers. He also serves on numerous boards.
In 2000, Mr. Akers made a career change, working for the University of Kentucky as Beef Integrated Resource Coordinator he was instrumental in the formation and operation of the Kentucky Beef Network and Southeastern Livestock Network and became a recognized expert on the issues and challenges that farms and markets face in the implementation of electronic identification systems. He was also credited with a significant increase in the number of calves participating in the Kentucky Certified Preconditioned for Health or CPH45 program, working cooperatively with local markets to make the program workable for producers and markets. During his tenure, Mr. Akers was recognized as the outstanding young Alumni for UK in 2000 and a Lifetime Honorary Member of the Livestock Judging Team in 2004.
In 2007 Mr. Akers made yet another career shift when he was tapped to serve as COO of the newly formed Blue Grass Livestock Marketing Group. Since that time, Mr. Akers has grown the company and diversified its operation well beyond the operation of seven local/regional livestock markets and an Internet marketing business. Their operations include Lexington, the largest auction market East of the Mississippi, and Stanford, built in 2007 as the newest, state of the art facility in the country.
He currently serves on the Kentucky State Veterinary Identification Advisory Committee and the National Livestock Marketing Association Government and Industry Affairs Committee and is a former board member of the Livestock Marketing Association.
Mr. Akers, his wife Christine and their two daughters Elizabeth and Caroline, live in Paris, Kentucky where Christine operates Paris Veterinary Clinic. In Paris, Mr. Akers serves as the Chairman of the Long Range Development Committee for St. Mary School, is past President of the School board and the Annunciation Church Parish Council. The family is active in 4-H and many other youth related activities.

The Black Box Theatre at the Downtown Arts Center – 141 East Main Street.**Project SEE Theatre *
*is kicking off their second season in a BIG way... *
*
*Big Love by Charles L. Mee is an adaptation of the Greek tragedy The
Suppliants by Euripides and true to the epic greek form it shoots for the
heavens portraying unresolved conflicts of sexuality, love and justice.
Director Sullivan Canaday White says, “Charles Mee’s Big Love embodies
what I still believe great theatre to be: theatre that can only happen in
the theatre. Embracing and celebrating theatre’s uniqueness is the compass
I use when creating. Big Love is a world of excess and extremes with its
characters living in a constant state of crisis searching for the meaning
of justice, vengeance, freewill, and love. It is loud and messy and full
of human smells--fear and sweat and longing. It is quiet and beautiful,
ugly and surprising, funny and harrowing, entertaining and thought
provoking, dangerous and sublime.”*

*
* The Italian Riviera - A bathtub - 50 brides fleeing 50 grooms - A
helicopter. *
*Join Project SEE as they kick off Valentine’s Day with their run of Big
Love, an inventive comedy that takes contemporary sexual politics to an
extreme – and then some. From the fragments of an ancient Greek tragedy,
Charles Mee creates a Dionysian free-for-all that pits unstoppable male
force against unmovable women. Big Love plays Thursday through Sunday for
two consecutive weekends opening VALENTINES DAY!*
