Lexington Local Pulse: Safe Return, Solar Debate, and Spring Football

Good morning, this is Lexington Local Pulse for Thursday, March 12. We start with some relief from yesterday's alert. Kentucky State Police canceled the IAN for 17-year-old Jahmari Deshaun Carter, last seen near the 400 block of Conley Street. Thanks to a sharp-eyed community member who spotted him from their phone, Jahmari is safe and reuniting with family right now. In other public safety news from the past day, we have no major incidents or arrests to report, keeping our streets steady. Shifting to city hall, discussions heat up on new rules for solar farms that could green up spots around town while sparking debate on who shapes the policy. We will keep you posted as decisions near that touch our power bills and landscapes. The job market buzzes with openings, from warehouse gigs paying about 15 dollars an hour to part-time evening spots at The Summit at Fritz Farm and servers at Cheddar's on Walden Drive. Over 75 flexible roles wait, perfect if you need evenings or weekends. Kentucky football grabs headlines today, releasing a behind-the-scenes video of spring practice under new coach Will Stein at the Joe Craft Football Training Facility. Practices build toward the April 18 spring game, firing up Big Blue Nation. New business shines with Lil Lambs Closet sale kicking off today through Saturday. This feel-good staple turns donated kids clothes, toys, and bikes into over 1.8 million dollars for families, now aiding Step by Step Lexington and even chicks for Kenyan widows. Unsold items head to Eastern Kentucky needs, warming our hearts. Weather stays mild with partly cloudy skies and highs near 55, ideal for the Shrek Rave tonight. Expect light winds, no disruptions, and a dry weekend ahead. Mark your calendars for community fun, including that Shrek Rave. Local schools report solid results, but no big wins today.
