Heritage Green Apartments
1st Phase Ready
 Heritage Green, built in the 1940's as Lynn Acres and still Louisville's
largest apartment complex, is getting a major makeover. On Sept. 9, the
Louisville Affordable Housing Trust Fund (LAHTF) revealed four renovated units
at Heritage Green on South 1st Street, formerly known as the Americana
Apartments.
Underhill Associates, the company helming the $18 million renovation, is planning on 60 newly remodeled units ready for move-in each month. The group already has a 50 person waiting list for this major project located in District 21. Wednesday's press conference included District 21 CM Dan Johnson where the apartment complex is located and 3 Metro Council members on LAHFT, CW Marianne Butler D-15, CW Vicki Aubrey Welch D-13 and CM Bill Hollander D-9.
CM Johnson says "We are fortunate to have this level of investment in affordable housing in our district. Many of our residents now have choices not readily available to them before."
"Hard working families deserve to be able to afford a decent , safe place to live and still have enough money left over for important things like groceries and child care," said Rachel Hurst, executive director of LAHFT. The new complex replaced window air conditioning units with central air, redid kitchen space and added washers and dryers in every unit.

 Think Ahead to Leaf Season
The
recent cooler weather is a reminder that Autumn is just a few weeks away. That
means it's time to plan ahead for Louisville's first fall leaf season under the
updated Yard Waste Container Regulation. Most residents adapted well during the
grass season to the requirement for yard waste containers that can be reused or
composted. Leaf season, because of the high volume of material, will require
extra work. More paper bags and/or reusable containers may be needed. But the
need for those additional containers can be avoided if you follow our Love Em
and Leave Em practices. The key is to mulch leaves with a lawnmower. The leaf
mulch can be left on the lawn to act as a soil nutrient. Higher volumes of leaf
mulch can be captured in the mower bag for transfer to other containers.
Mulched leaves need only a small fraction of the container space necessary for
intact leaves. Read more at www.lelelouisville.com.

Visit their exhibit at Wisteria and talk with them Saturday September 12, 11:00am - 4:00 pm. Refreshments served.
Mona Cattan:
Owner of Highlands Fiber and
Folk Arts, located in Louisville, Kentucky. Cattan has been weaving since she
received her first potholder loom at the age of six. She continued weaving in
Girl Scouts, cranking out "sit-upons" for camping. At age twelve,
Cattan met and was influenced by Master Weaver, Lou Tate, founder of The Little
Loomhouse . Cattan has been a weaving and spinning instructor for the Little
Loomhouse since 1997. She loves to weave with her handspun yarns which include
exotic fibers.
Sylvia Kinsfather:
I had never heard of the Little Loomhouse until I
attended their second Spin-a-yarn festival. Stephanie Buzan and Rosemary
McCandles took me under their wing and gave me lots of encouragement when I
volunteered. I wanted to learn weaving from top to bottom so I took traditional
weaving lessons from Sally Moss. As I gained in experience and confidence, I
entered a few items in the state fair and won a few ribbons over the past few
years. I learned triangle loom weaving from Mona Cattan and I really enjoy it!
I feel blessed to have such a wonderful supportive weaving family.
