A situation in Lexington leads to a major traffic back up on New Circle Road. One man is dead, but investigators say his two young children are alive thanks to bystanders.
It all started when two concerned citizens noticed a man at the bus stop on Lima Drive and Georgetown Road.
Witnesses say man was in his underwear and had a toddler and an infant with him. The strangers determined the man was not in the right state of mind, and were able to take the children.
Witnesses say the man then walked to the Georgetown Road overpass and jumped. He was pronounced dead on scene.
Investigators say the citizens who confronted the man may have saved both children's lives.
"We're fortunate but, the children are extremely fortunate. Thank God there are people in our society that will step up when they see something like that and protect children from being harmed," said Lexington Police Lt. Andrew Daugherty.
Westbound traffic on New Circle Road near the Georgetown overpass was completely shut down as first responders worked to clear the scene. The coroner says the man who had jumped off of the overpass was 29 years old and had been diagnosed with a mental health disorder.

The mother of NFL star Antonio Cromartie claims her son is trying to evict her from the Florida home he bought for her back in 2007 … and it’s all over money.
TMZ Sports spoke with Cromartie’s little sister, LaQuinta Gardner … who says their mother was served with an eviction notice on Thursday and the family is pissed.
Gardner claims … Cromartie bought the house and paid for everything for years — but the gravy train stopped in February when he asked his mother to pay the $700 per month mortgage bill.
We’re told the mother refused — insisting Cro, who’s made millions in his career, should pay since the house was supposed to be a gift.
Both sides dug in … culminating in the eviction papers, which say Cro’s mother needs to be out by August 15th … UNLESS she forks over a check for $2,310 in back payment.
Gardner says she has set up a GoFundMe page to raise money for her mother.
We reached out to Cromartie for comment — so far, no word back.
By the way, Cromartie is currently unemployed — and has 12 kids … and that ain’t cheap!

QuoteIt was initially thought that she had contracted a virus while playing overseas, but after spending four days in intensive care, doctors eventually diagnosed a rare strain of Leptospirosis, a disease caused by a bacterium that can be transmitted through rat urine.
Police launched a criminal investigation last week amid fears that she had been deliberately poisoned in an attempt to wreck her tournament chances.
One theory being explored is that Miss Taylor may have been targeted by an organised crime betting syndicate.

Olympic teams from 207 countries marched in the parade of nations during last night's opening ceremony in Rio de Janeiro.
Although they all sported national pride right on their backs with festive uniforms, some stood out from the pack.
Here are our favorite uniforms from the ceremony:

"When we saw her in the preliminary finals everyone gasped, she was just that good."
Ms Miller, who previously organised the Australian portion of the Miss Universe competition before moving on to Miss World, said Miss Miller-Kennedy had the ideal beauty queen combination of beauty and brains.
"She was very smart, she was an old soul, she was wise and incredibly beautiful," she said.
"She had a lot of grace and elegance and she looked expensive, she was someone who could have walked on the catwalk or appeared on the cover of Vogue.

Is there documentation that he IS one of Jehovah's Witnesses? Unless I missed it, I do not find that in the article. Because he was holding a silver Bible does not mean that he is. Is it possible he might be a student, maybe even with a drug problem. He got his wanted attention. The wrong kind.

ADD INFO RE TRUCK:
http://www.showertothepeople.net/the-shower-truck/

The Shower Truck
Our Flagship program is our Mobile Shower Truck, a converted box truck built to provide showers and hygiene products to members of our local homeless population where they are. Our hope with this project is to Restore Dignity to those we serve who may have lost it. We know that when you get out of a hot shower you feel like a million bucks, and that's something we want our friends on the streets to experience. A shower can give you a sense of normalcy, foster a little hope, and build towards better health.
We also aim to use our truck as a connection point for other services. Through our developing Referral Network, we hope to help assess the needs of those we encounter and successfully direct them to services that provide to those needs. After all, our end goal is the resolution of homelessness in our communities, not simply to enable those who are experiencing homelessness to be cleaner.
How did it begin?
In December 2014, founder Jake Austin began with the realization that those on the streets he had been serving with hygiene supplies including soap, shampoo and body wash were without access to a shower in which to use those supplies. Shortly after becoming aware of this problem, Jake thought to himself, "If we can put a kitchen on a truck (for food trucks), why not a shower?". At that point, Jake began researching the possibilities of making a mobile shower service possible.
By the end of January 2015 a plan had been made, $5,000 had been raised, a truck had been purchased and Shower To The People was on its way. Over the following year, Jake and his supporters spoke to numerous organizations, acquiring small grants, and donated labor to convert a simple box truck into a fully functional, and welcoming mobile shower unit.
Less than two years after its inception, Shower To The People's "Mobile Shower Truck" is on the road every week providing showers and hygiene services to our friends and neighbors on the streets of St. Louis.
How Does it work?
The truck will schedule visits and arrive at places where those experiencing homelessness in St. Louis are gathered (cooling shelters, food banks, clothing distributions, etc). Once arriving, set up begins. Shower To The People staff and volunteers begin setting up the hygiene table which provides handouts of soap, shampoo, conditioner, deoderant, feminine hygiene supplies, dental hygiene supplies, etc). At the same time, the truck's plumbing is attached to the closest fire hydrant using the tools provided to Shower To The People by the city, and a hose is ran to the nearest storm drain for grey water disposal. The generator on the truck is started to power the air conditioner, lights, and on-demand hot water heater.
NOTE: St. Louis has provided license and a meter to Shower To The People so that we can both use the city's fire hydrants and pay for the water usage. Also, St. Louis has what is called a "combined sewer system" that processes both storm water and grey water in the same system, allowing for grey water disposal through the storm drains.
Once the truck is set up and the hygiene table is prepared, those looking to shower take a number and wait for their turn to take a shower. Inside the truck, there are two shower stalls available for use. Two by two, those we serve begin to take turns in the shower, timed at roughly 8 minutes per person. Throughout our time in each place, we average between 14 and 16 showers an hour, and in 8 hour day can provide up to 50 showers.
Once we've finished, everything is packed up, and any trash that has accumulated throughout the day is picked up and taken to a dumpster to insure that nothing is left behind.
We're currently putting together a regular schedule and map of our locations. In the meantime, send any questions you have to volunteer@showertothepeople.netCopyright © 2016 Shower To The People, All rights reserved. www.showertothepeople.net -

There are lots of factors to be considered. Each case is different. You need to talk to the elders in your congregation. They will make the decision . Talk it over with them. Rely on Jehovah to keep you on the right road. ( I answered this as if you were asking for yourself.)
