Hello Neighbors and friends,
Despite 2020 and all its ups and downs, twists and turns and uncertainties, I managed to continue my tradition of writing a list of things for which I am grateful. I’ve done this for the last four years during October, my birth month. As I created the list, I couldn’t help but notice that I was jotting down more heartfelt gratitude statements than ever before.
As a rule (self-imposed), I no longer list the things that I consider “a given.” Family, friends and loved ones are permanent placements on the list. I am forever grateful to have them in my life. This year, however, I added a few others to the list, all of whom I could easily take for granted, but am careful not to. I am grateful to my beautician, nail technician, mechanic, letter carrier, colleagues, legislative assistant, and YOU, my constituents.
At the Thanksgiving table when it’s my turn to share what I am most grateful for, I will look lovingly into my husband’s eyes (yes, that’s right, we’ll be the only ones at the dinner table this year, thanks to the unfair, unwanted and ungrateful pandemic!) and express how 2020 has caused me to examine all aspects of my life and determine what is really important.
My list includes being grateful for the things I already have. With limitations on how often we should go outside the home, interact with others, dine inside a restaurant and go shopping, I have saved more money. Instead of going out to dinner every Friday as we generally did, we order carry out or cook at home. My normal Saturday routine was to hit the major retail outlets to shop for household items I didn’t need (how many hand towels, bed sheets and water glasses can one family use?). I have discovered the difference between wants and needs.
My list this year also includes the art of being still. These two words – Be Still – carry an invaluable meaning and life lesson about not moving and being quiet. Regardless of the turmoil that has gone on all around us this year --- from COVID-19 to civil unrest, I have learned the art of stillness. This stillness brings comfort to my soul. It’s like a calmness that I can’t explain, like harmony in motion. Being still stops the busyness in my brain and anxious thoughts that come with it. Before the coronavirus hit the scene, I was intimidated by silence. Either I sat with the television blasting, turned on the radio to bob my head, or looked to a book to steal away. I no longer need these devices to keep me company. I enjoy experiencing tranquility that only being still can bring.
Flowers, trees and grass grow in stillness, and the sun, moon and stars move in silence. All are beautiful and serve an important purpose. So, while others are bemoaning 2020, I am grateful for it because, I’m now aware of the things for which to be most grateful --- the understanding that beauty resides within, and that we are here to serve a purpose. I now see clearly what my purpose is. Do you know what is your purpose here on earth?
I'm also grateful to have served as co-chair of a civilian review board work group, made up of 33 other community residents from the business, religious, civil rights, nonprofit, government and private sectors. For five months, my co-chair, Ellen Hesen, Deputy Mayor of Louisville Metro Government, and I introduced language for the ordinance that created the Civilian Review and Accountability Board and Office of Inspector General.
As we presented each section of the ordinance, work group members were able to ask questions, make suggestions and offer changes to the document. We engaged in robust conversations --- some debates, and came to a consensus or voted on a section to get it done.
Once the work group tied a nice, neat bow around the ordinance, it was time for me to present it to the Metro Council Public Safety Committee. During an hourlong committee meeting, several members suggested changes and we ran out of time to review the entire ordinance. Two weeks later at the next committee meeting, members added to the ordinance, what I considered, some frivolous changes. These changes would have altered the tone of the ordinance from "civilian-led" to law enforcement "influenced," and posed a burden on some community residents who may not have an opportunity to take time off work to devote to a 55-hour training requirement (two 8-hour classroom training days and 40-hours of ride-a-long observation). I didn't take too kindly to the changes, especially since I had worked with the 33-member work group for five months on the ordinance and asked for feedback along the way from my Council colleagues.
Instead of my colleagues giving feedback early on with changes, additions or deletions, they chose to wait until the camera was rolling and media were listening. I accused them of grandstanding and attempting to railroad the ordinance. I can't really speak to a person's intentions, but I do choose to call things as I see them. I realized all along that the Metro Council has the last word and every right to make amendments to an ordinance. My disappointment in some of my colleagues was not so much about "what" they proposed, as much as it was about "how" or "when" they chose to offer their suggestions. They had five months to consider the document, and after meeting with most of them one-on-one and including every one of their recommendations, I guess I was a bit surprised at the "eleventh-hour" conversions.
A special Public Safety Committee was called to finalize the review of the ordinance. It was a non-event. The ordinance passed out of Committee and advanced to the full Council for a vote. The rest is history...
Yes, history was made with the approval of this ordinance. For over 20 years, citizens of the community and former legislators tried to establish a civilian review board that had investigative authority and the power to effect change in police conduct and reform. And although I'm accused of having given my colleagues a "tongue lashing," I am grateful to the 25 of us who approved the ordinance. It was a well-written, thoroughly researched and meaningful piece of legislation. The community can rest assured that this is a great step towards police reform, safer streets, broader trust in LMPD and eventual healing throughout our community.
A national search for an Inspector General will take place by the end of the year. Civilian review board members will hopefully be in place by the first quarter of 2021.

Today, more than 5 million people are living with Alzheimer’s. By 2050, this number is projected to grow to more than 14 million.
Alzheimer’s is the most common form of dementia. It’s a progressive disease beginning with mild memory loss possibly leading to loss of the ability to carry on a conversation and respond to the environment. Alzheimer’s disease accounts for nearly 80% of dementia cases.
In 1983, President Ronald Reagan designated November as National Alzheimer’s Awareness Month. At the time, fewer than 2 million Americans had Alzheimer’s. Today, more than 5 million people are living with Alzheimer’s. By 2050, this number is projected to grow to more than 14 million.
 |
Statistics show more than 16 million Americans provide unpaid care for people with Alzheimer’s or other dementias. These caregivers provided an estimated 18 billion hours of care valued at nearly $244 billion.
Unfortunately, caregivers frequently report experiencing high levels of stress. That includes denial, anger, social withdrawal, anxiety, depression, sleeplessness, irritability, and more. Health experts say caregivers should protect their mental health and manage stress properly.
For more information about National Alzheimer's Disease Awareness Month and National Family Caregivers Month, visit the Alzheimer's Association website.
Rather than struggle on your own, take advantage of local resources for caregivers. To get started, check out the Eldercare Locator at eldercare.acl.gov
The signs of caregiver stress can be:
• Feeling overwhelmed or constantly worried;
• Getting too much or not enough sleep;
• Gaining or losing weight;
• Becoming easily irritated or angry;
• Lack of interest in activities previously enjoyed;
• Having frequent headaches, bodily pain or other physical problems;
• Abusing alcohol or drugs, including prescription medications.

Mowing over leaves to mulch them back into your lawn is a great option for reducing waste. Mulching not only returns vital nutrients to the soil, but experts say that it can help your grass grow even better the following year! Never blow leaves into the street! Sign up for street sweeping reminders to make sure your car doesn't keep your street from being swept. Go to www.louisvilleky.gov and click Services Near Me.
Of course, residents with yard waste collection can also set leaves out in containers or paper bags. And all Louisville Metro residents will have the option to dispose of them for free at one of three drop-off sites beginning Tuesday, November 10.
The Metro Public Works free leaf drop-off sites will be open Tuesday-Saturdays, November 10 through December 12. Drop-off will not be available on November 26 and 27 in observance of the Thanksgiving holiday. Only loose leaves will be accepted.

The 2020-2021 flu season is upon us, and it’s time to proactively keep its effects to a minimum while our healthcare system is focusing on efforts to combat COVID-19. There are many similarities between the flu and COVID-19. Both are contagious respiratory illnesses that can lead to severe illness for many. A vaccine is available now for the flu virus.
The Centers for Disease Control recommends the flu vaccine for everyone 6 months of age and older. To best protect yourself and others, please get a flu vaccine this season. Immunizations are considered preventative services and are covered by most health insurance companies with no out of pocket expenses to pay.
For more information about flu and where to get vaccinated, please visit https://louisvilleky.gov/government/health-wellness/flu.
Attention Veterans:
The U.S. Department of Veteran Affairs is encouraging all Veterans to get their flu shot NOW. Did you know that Veterans are approved to get their flu shot through one of VA's Community Care Network providers? Visit https://www.prevention.va.gov/flu/ to find a current in-network location near you.

Governor Andy Beshear has announced new COVID-19 restrictions as the state is seeing increasing case numbers and deaths from the virus.
https://govstatus.egov.com/kycovid19
During his Wednesday afternoon news conference, the governor said three new steps will be implemented to slow the spread of COVID-19.
1) Limiting Private Gatherings:
Starting Friday, Nov. 20 at 5:00 p.m. to Sunday, Dec. 13 at 11:59 p.m., private/indoor social gatherings will be limited to your current household plus one other household, not to exceed a total of eight people.
2) Limiting Attendance at Venue Spaces:
Starting Friday, Nov. 20 at 5:00 p.m. to Sunday, Dec. 13 at 11:59 p.m., events will be limited to no more than 25 people per room. The restrictions do not apply to in-person services at places of worship. However, the governor said the state will provide recommendations on attending those services on Thursday.
3) Closing Indoor Dining at Restaurants and Bars:
Starting Friday, Nov. 20 at 5:00 p.m. to Sunday, Dec. 13 at 11:59 p.m., bars and restaurants will be closed for indoor service.
A $40 million fund has been launched to assist restaurants and bars that will be impacted by the new restrictions. Entries that qualify will receive $10,000 to use for various costs.
La Tasha Buckner, Gov. Beshear's Chief of Staff, says it will be administrated by the Kentucky Public Protection Cabinet, which is finalizing the program details. Applications will be accepted online from Nov. 30 to Dec. 18, and more information will be provided at a later time.
Buckner says the $10,000 assistance will be available to businesses that are currently operating as bars and restaurants. A business entity can receive up to $20,000 if they own more than one location. Businesses that will not be eligible include those where more than 50% of their sales are made through drive-thrus. Businesses owned by a publicly-traded company will also not be eligible. All businesses must certify that they are going to be in compliance with the governor's orders and remain in compliance with the executive orders and public health orders.
Gyms, Fitness Centers, and Pools:
Gyms will now be at 33% occupancy and face masks will be required. Group classes are prohibited. The 33% occupancy also applies to pools, bowling alleys, and similar businesses.
Sports Practices:
KHSAA announced Wednesday it will postpone the 2020-21 winter sports season until Jan. 4. The governor says the same decision will be applied for all indoor recreational facilities, so indoor practices will not be allowed for sports teams. Individual lessons are allowed but face masks will be required.
Office Space Businesses:
Professional services and office space businesses are recommended to have all able employees to work from home. When possible, businesses should be closed to the public. If they are open, they should maintain 33% of their employees, at most, in their facility at one time.
K-12 Schools:
Starting Monday, Nov. 23, all public and private schools (K-12) will cease in-person instruction beginning on Nov. 23. Middle schools and high schools will remain in remote instruction until Jan. 4, 2021. Elementary schools may reopen on Dec. 7 if their county is not in the "red zone" and the school follows all Healthy at School guidance.
The governor says the new restrictions are not part of a shutdown and that "our economy is open." He says there will be no businesses that will be categorized as essential or non-essential, which will determine if they will be open or not.

Holiday lights and a brightly lit Christmas Tree will adorn Metro Hall and its lawn. The festive light display will include a rainbow of colors to celebrate Christmas, along with holiday-themed gobo lights celebrating Kwanza, Hanukah and all of the seasons special days that seek to reflect the diversity of our community. Mayor Fischer is also encouraging residents and businesses to put up their own rainbow of colors at their homes and workplaces to Light Up Louisville’s neighborhoods.
Here Comes Santa Claus Christmas Convoy!
Santa can’t invite all of his friends to join him downtown for the annual Light Up countdown due to Social Distancing guidelines. Santa, along with his elves from all over the world, will be very busy at the North Pole making holiday presents, but he still wants to make sure all of the children in the Louisville area get a chance to send him their Christmas wishes. He has asked two of his very best Santa Helpers to come to Louisville and visit neighborhoods across the city to help spread holiday cheer! In partnership with LG&E, 106.9 Play FM, AT&T and Neil Huffman Subaru, a mobile Santa Claus Convoy will visit more than 20 Kentuckiana neighborhoods, selected through nominations from our citizens on Nov. 27-28 and Dec. 5, 12 and 19. Christmas music will be playing, and a mobile video screen will play highlights from previous Light Up Louisville events as Santa’s convoy drives through Louisville’s neighborhoods.

Gov. Andy Beshear implored Kentuckians to adhere to new restrictions and guidance that will help stop the rapid spread of COVID-19 in the commonwealth.
The number of Kentuckians diagnosed with COVID-19, hospitalized with the disease, admitted to the ICU and put on a ventilator because of complications from the virus continues to rise week over week. Today’s case report is the highest ever for a Monday.
“Day in and day out, our health care workers are doing what it takes. So day in and day out, we have to, too. Think about their sacrifice, every day going into a unit where they could contract this virus that they see people die from,” said Gov. Beshear. “What about our sacrifice? Over these coming months until we get to a vaccine, are we willing to step up for them and for each other, to make sure we can all get through this?
“We are at war. They are on the front lines and they are our only line. I will not abandon them. I will stand with them and I will make the difficult decisions it takes to make sure that our health care system can ultimately help everybody who needs it.”
The Governor shared a video in which health care workers ask all Americans to wear masks.
Wearing masks continues to be the most effective action Kentuckians can take to protect themselves and others. A recent study in Kansas from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention showed that on average, counties that mandated mask-wearing saw a 6% reduction in cases; in contrast, the counties that opted out saw a 100% increase in cases.
The Governor said if Kentuckians do not take drastic measures to control the statewide outbreak, we will soon experience other states’ alarming current reality: New York has had to reopen a field hospital in Staten Island due to accelerating hospitalizations; in Wisconsin, the Mayo Clinic has been forced to put hospital beds in lobbies and a parking garage because hospitals have exceeded 100% capacity; and 22% of hospitals nationwide say they will face a critical staff shortage in the next week.
Finally, the Governor updated Kentuckians on COVID-19 in the state’s correctional facilities. He said that we have lost 15 inmates due to complications from COVID-19, including two who died this weekend from the Kentucky State Reformatory; we have also lost two corrections employees to COVID-19.
Case Information As of 4 p.m. Monday, Nov. 23, Gov. Beshear reported the following COVID-19 numbers:
- New cases today: 2,135
- New deaths today: 5
- Positivity rate: 8.97%
- Total deaths: 1,792
- Currently hospitalized: 1,573
- Currently in ICU: 391
- Currently on ventilator: 203
Top counties with the most positive cases today are: Jefferson, Fayette, Madison, Boone, Kenton and McCracken.
The red zone counties for this week can be found here. Community leaders, businesses, schools and families in these counties should all follow red zone reduction recommendations.
In August 2016 Louisville Metro Emergency Services teamed up with Bullitt County, Oldham County, and Washington County to create a regional emergency notification system – Louisville Emergency Notification System (LENSAlert). Its enhanced capabilities include using all communications modes to send alerts – mobile phones, landlines, email, text, social media, IPAWS-OPEN. Take another step in being prepared for disasters and sign up for LENSAlert today.
 |
In addition to receiving notifications, individuals can create a Safety Profile for themselves and their household that can include any information they want 9-1-1 and first responders to have in the event of an emergency. When individuals make an emergency call, their Safety Profile is automatically displayed to the 9-1-1 call taker, allowing them to send the right responders to the right location with the right information. Information about medical history, allergies to medication, number of residents in a home and even a picture of the family dog can all be added to a Safety Profile.
