Councilwoman Vicki Welch joined the Principal, staff and students of Okolona Elementary as they dedicated their new playground equipment. A gift of $10,000 from District 13 CIF funds was made to the school for their
$25,000 addition of playground equipment. Modern Woodmen of America contributed $2,500 of matching funds for the project.
 This year’s Holiday Party will
feature train rides, carriage rides, Mad Science, face painting, cookie
decorating and Elsa in Person. Many of the events are coordinated by Metro

There has been a crime spike in the Charleswood
neighborhood, particularly along Charleswood Road, Waycross and Brook Bend Way.
Burglary and theft from auto is the problem. According to the reports, victims
are leaving their garage doors open, vehicles unlocked and leaving keys in the
vehicle. People who live near the
Charleswood area, particularly along Mud Lane and Antle, be sure to
take crime prevention steps. Closing garage doors, locking vehicles that are
parked in the garage and removing anything of value out of cars would go a long
way in reducing the opportunity for crime.
I also plan on having my DRO’s pass
out crime prevention flyers in the near future. We also have a way to deliver
crime bulletin reports and alerts to citizens via email and smart phone. They

Copper
Farms, Ashbrooke Gardens, Larkgrove, Washington Green, Lakeview Acres
Subdivisions are also experiencing an increase in thefts from autos. The notice below outlines some of the precautions you can take to prevent this from happening to YOU!!
 Tolling is expected to begin in December, sometime after
cross-river capacity is added to the system. You can open a personal account
online, by phone or in person.
In addition to the
regular customer service centers on each side of the river, an additional,
temporary site has been added in both Louisville and Jeffersonville.

 Louisville
is now a Nextdoor city. You'll soon be able to find city information related to
your specific neighborhood on the website at www.nextdoor.com
or on the company's mobile application. It creates private social networks for
conversations within neighborhoods that cannot be seen by other areas, and
allows the city to direct information to those neighborhoods. Metro Police was
the first city department to use the service to deliver targeted information.
Public Works and other departments will soon follow. In the meantime,
Louisville residents can register at Nextdoor to join the conversations that
may already be going on among their neighbors.

PAINT DISPOSAL
While oil based paint or lead paint must be taken to HAZ BIN
for disposal, water-based or latex paint is not a hazardous waste, and is not
accepted at HAZ BIN. However, it cannot be included with household garbage in
liquid form.
If there is only a small
quantity of paint in the can, remove the lid and let stand in a well-ventilated
area away from children or pets until dry. For larger quantities of paint, or
to speed up the drying process, stir in an absorbent such as sand, kitty
litter, sawdust, vermiculite, or shredded paper.
Containers with dried latex paint (without lids) can be placed in tightly
sealed plastic bags and placed in garbage containers for pickup.
