It’s the finale to most Independence Day celebrations, fireworks. There is a lot of work that goes in to making sure everything goes off with a bang.
In Lexington, Kevin Cassidy and two other specialists with Zambelli Fireworks International are getting ready for Saturday’s fireworks display. The 20-minute fireworks display was first generated on a computer, the real work began. The crew had to make sure to get 1,500 rockets packed and loaded into their individual casing. From there, the rockets are fed into a computer, ready for each to light up the sky.
In Kentucky many people battling cancer seek treatment right here in Lexington, but if you don’t live in Central Kentucky, making the trip for cancer treatments can either be more grueling or not possible at all. That’s where the American Cancer Society’s Hope Lodge fulfills a need that most people never knew they’d need, just ask Nancy Wilson.
It’s Earth Day, and some folks are taking steps to become a little more environmentally friendly. Kids in the after school program at Mary Todd Elementary School did just that today. They built a Rain Garden.
With about 150 native Kentucky plants, the rain garden will help filter and clean the water as well as ease the storm water run off from the school… helping with some nearby neighborhood flooding.
Mary Todd is the first elementary school to do this but Mayor Jim Newberry hopes more will follow. He says, “We are going to be working all across our community…not just in parks but also in neighborhood associations and with private property owners to increase the number or rain gardens.”
Teachers and students hope this Rain Garden will be a great learning tool for the students for many years to come.
