The consequence is that people often don't have enough notice about certain events, especially neighborhood meetings, to make plans to attend. After discussing this issue with an East Lawrence resident, the suggestion was made to try to e-mail the newsletter to those who would like it. If you would like to be added to the mailing list for newsletters, please call Aimee Polson at 832-0232 or e-mail eastlawrence@yahoo.com.

This year, the City of Lawrence expects to receive about $1,100,000 in Conununity Development Block Grant (CDBG) funds. CDBG money is provided from the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) through cities to groups and individuals who work to meet the goals of the program. These goals are to: 1) Principally benefit low- and moderate-income persons as defined by HUD; and 2) Aid in the prevention or elimination of slums or blight. In addition to meeting these federal criteria, the City Commission has requested that all approved projects meet the strategy addressed in "Step Up to Better Housing," which is essentially a targeted list of ways to achieve the previous two goals. The list is divided into 4 categories: emergency housing, permanent housing, transitional housing, and revitalized neighborhoods. Neighborhoods who apply for funding are asked to: • Provide continued revitalization in target neighborhoods. • Provide continued environmental code enforcement. • Provide education for homeowners and renters. • Promote neighborhood improvement. • Improve existing housing stock. • Encourage neighborhood associations • Define sidewalk fund procedures. • Continue crime prevention. • Ensure that housing complies with the Uniform Housing Code. • Favor mixed-income development. • Meet Americans with Disabilities Act and Fair Housing Act requirements. • Support public/private partnerships. The grant application has now arrived and it is time to speak now or forever hold your peace. If you have any suggestions for funding, come to the General Meeting on Monday, November It", 7 p.m. at New York Elementary School and share your ideas. Current suggestions include funding for grass seed, a library of how-to guides for home repair, funding for the removal of spotty paving over predominantly brick streets, sidewalk repair, and trash pick-up. Furnace Loans Available through City Homeowner Rehabilitation This program assists homeowners with replacement of existing heating sources with an approved energyefficient furnace. A second mortgage or personal property lien must be signed to secure the loan. There is no interest or payments. Loan is repaid when recipient ceases to he the owner-occupant of the property. This program assists homeowners with rehabilitation of their homes. The intent is to rehabilitate the home to bring it up to code, not to remodel it to make it more presentable. A maximum of$25,000 may be loaned to homeowner to repair such things as furnace, chipped/peelings paints, rotting wood, termite damage, etc. A second mortgage is placed on the home to secure the loan. The City forgives up to 50% of the loan after a seven-year period as long as the homeowner remains in the home. Monthly payments of $50 are made. If one is over 62 years of age, a defened loan is granted and will be repaid when the home is sold. The 50% forgiveness also applies to the deferred loans. Applications are accepted year-round.

Box 442393 Lawrence, KS 66044 Pay Homage to the Man Who Gave Us Peanut Butter "It is not the style of clothes one wears, neither the kind of automobile one drives, nor the amount of money one has in the bank, that counts. These mean nothing. It is simply service that measures success." -George Washington Carver It is rare to find a man of the caliber of George Washington Carver. A man who would decline an invitation to work for a salary of more than $100,000 a year (almost a million today) to continue his research on behalf of his countrymen. Agricultural chemist, George Washington Carver invented peanut butter along with over three hundred uses for peanuts and hundreds more uses for soybeans, pecans and sweet potatoes. Countless products we enjoy today come to us by the way of Carver. Only thre~ patents were every issued to him, but among his listed discoveries are: adhesives, axle grease, bleach, buttermilk, chili sauce, fuel briquettes, ink, instant coffee, linoleum, mayonnaise, meat tenderizer, metal polish, paper, plastic, pavement, shaving cream, shoe polish, synthetic rubber, talcum powder and wood stain. Excerpted from www.inventors.miningco.com East lawrence Needs You This is it folks. The ELNA Board elections are this Monday, November 12 at 7:00p.m. in the New York Elementary School library. Many people call or write wanting things done, or asking why something hasn't been done yet, and it's great because it means they want something better and are not interested in the status quo. But now it's time to act. According to its by-laws, the East Lawrence Neighborhood Association needs to have 10 Board Members. At least 5 of them are leaving ... maybe 7. If you don't want the organization to fold, now would be a great time to come forward and serve your community, your neighbors, and yourself. It only takes a couple of hours a month and you get to meet all sorts of interesting people that you probably didn't even know lived near you. You will be amazed at what you will learn about your city and your neighborhood. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
