    At the League of Women Voters of Lexington’s First Friday Forum on October 1 a panel of local experts will discuss issues of at-risk youth in Lexington.

Results from the 2009 "Youth Risk Behavior Survey at Lexington High School" indicated that health education continues to have a positive impact on student decision making, although parents and friends are still most important in decisions about sex and other risky behaviors. The survey also showed that stress continues to be a problem for students at LHS.

Addressing the issue will be Jennifer Wolfrum, Assistant Coordinator for Health and Laurie Henry, Clinical Social Worker of Lexington’s Human Services Department; and Julie Fenn, Prevention Specialist and Jim Retman, Police Resource Officer for the Lexington Public Schools.

This is the first in a series of 2010-2011 First Friday Forums hosted by the League of Women Voters of Lexington to promote awareness and understanding of public policy issues. Coffee will be available at 9:30 a.m. and presentations will begin at 9:45 in the Community Meeting Room on the lower level of Cary Memorial Library, 1874 Massachusetts Avenue. The library is easily accessible by Lexpress and from the Minuteman Bikeway. For more information or to carpool, contact the League at 781-862-6435. All League forums are open to the public at no charge.

misc_none 7:00 PM  -  9:00 PM THE THIRD RAIL: TALKING ABOUT TAXES     Tell a Friend
    Contact: League of Women Voters    781-862-6435   patcostello@rcn.com
    Representative Jay Kaufman, Chair of the Legislature’s Joint Committee on Revenue is the featured speaker at the League of Women Voters of Lexington’s Fall Coffee on Thursday, October 7.

Taxes are the price we pay for a civilized society (Oliver Wendell Holmes) but talking taxes is often considered the third rail of politics. We’ll do it any way. What are the truths about taxes in Massachusetts? Is it possible to engage the electorate in an adult conversation about taxes, all the “no new taxes” and “waste, fraud and abuse in government” talk notwithstanding? What happens if the two tax rollback initiative petitions pass?

Everyone interested in the League or its current topics of concern are invited to an evening of coffee and conversation at this year’s Fall Coffee in the new, award-winning, Samuel Hadley Public Service Building at 201 Bedford Street from 7:00 to 9:00 P.M. For more information or to carpool, contact the League at 781-862-6435. All League forums are open to the public at no charge.

misc_none 7:30 PM Viktor Ullmann’s The Emperor of Atlantis, or Death Quits     Tell a Friend
    Contact: Audience Services   6175426772   boxoffice@blo.org
    An Emperor unleashes total war and orders destruction and death. But Death does not take orders. Where does that leave the Emperor and those he seeks to annihilate? In 1943, composer Viktor Ullmann and poet Petr Kien were prisoners in the concentration camp Terezin, where they created this almost inconceivably wry and touching opera. They died at Auschwitz, but their opera survives as an allusive, haunting, texturally rich testament to their spirit. Expressing through music what words alone cannot convey, the opera is in equal measure dark, funny and poignant as it juxtaposes the brutality and fragility of existence with a celebration of life’s purpose. With the world premiere of a prologue by Richard Beaudoin, commissioned by BLO. Boston Lyric Opera
