Even the cemetery isn't safe from Dear Leader's voracious appetite for self-credit.

Help New Directions continue helping New Albany.
Receiving word of our $6.7 million Neighborhood Stabilization Program award was indeed exciting. There are a lot of thank yous owed a lot of people. New Directions Housing Corporation is certainly among them.
New Directions not only provided assistance in preparing the NSP application but they've also consistently worked to create an environment in which such an award can flourish. For years, they've helped the less fortunate among us with their Repair Affair program and aided the City with emergency housing repair for the elderly and disabled.
In addition, the work of New Directions staff has made much needed revitalization training available to New Albany residents in recent years and helped build the professional relationships that ultimately led to a housing market study of our older neighborhoods. That study, along with other products of revitalization training, in turn helped make our NSP application successful.
In the spirit of thanks, I hope you'll take a moment to read the letter from New Directions Executive Director Joe Gliessner below and consider using the Facebook application linked to cast a vote for our friends in a selection process sponsored by Chase Community Giving. Top vote recipients will receive a grant and be made eligible to compete for further funding, up to $1 million.
In this season of thanksgiving, we are especially thankful for our past and current donors, volunteers and supporters. We would like to wish you all a happy and meaningful Thanksgiving holiday.
We would also like to ask you to vote for New Directions in the Chase Community Giving program. JPMorgan Chase Foundation is donating $5 million to local charities and they are asking Facebook users to select which organizations they will support. In Round 1 of the selection process, running now through December 14th, votes will be cast to support the 500,000 charities listed on the Chase Community Giving site. On December 15th, the top 100 organizations will each receive a $25,000 grant and move to the next round for a chance at one of five $100,000 grants or the top grant award of $1,000,000.
Voting is easy, and you can vote for up to 20 different organizations so you can support all of your favorites. To place your vote, go to the following web page:

SEJ on its way: Central city park to host festival Saturday, August 16.
The S. Ellen Jones Park is playing host to its first ever neighborhood festival this Saturday from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. with free food, music, fun activities for the kiddos, and health screenings for those of us not quite up to the 3-on-3 basketball tournament. Booths will be scattered throughout the park at 600 E. 11th Street and on 13th Street between Elm and Oak Streets.
A map for your convenience:
With numerous worthwhile renovation activities happening in the downtown business district, it's easy to overlook non-commercial interests within the larger revitalization scheme. Our local entrepreneurs certainly deserve their share of credit but it's the business of people that ultimately decides a city's lot.
And when it comes to people, I'm challenged to present a better example of a good friend, neighbor, and community builder than Ted Fulmore, the principal organizer of the SEJ festival. Whether it's historic preservation, modernist architecture, low-income housing, or simply getting together for a good time, Ted's just flat out been as solid a citizen as one could hope for.
Though he's far too gracious to not share the credit with those who've helped transform his wish to reality, this festival was his idea and he's done the work necessary to make it a good day for everyone in his and surrounding neighborhoods.
I'd like to personally thank the many volunteers and organizations who've helped. I'd also like to suggest that everybody else thank Ted, for Saturday and every day that he puts his considerable skills to work for us.
