Spring is in the air, and there's no better time than now to get some fresh air, kick back and read a good book. For today's message, I'm starting you off with a good read --- a story of how two people met. Grab a beverage, find a quiet spot on the porch or deck, and get in the Spring spirit with this "Love at First Sight" story. Enjoy...
October 18 was a Wednesday that year, and Wednesdays were Ladies' Night at Horsefeathers. My cousin's boyfriend had recently broken up with her, and she wanted to go out and drown her sorrows. She needed a designated driver, so she called me.
My limited nightclub experience had been confined to the Bardstown Road/Baxter Avenue bars. I had never been to Horsefeathers, but even with my minimal knowledge of clubs, I didn't have high hopes of having much fun that night. There were just a handful of people in the bar when we walked in, but even so, my cousin knew several of them. I got my free soft drink and followed her while she made the rounds. We finally sat down at a tall table near the dance floor, and I sipped my Coke and kept time to the music while my cousin talked to friends.
People had started coming in, and before I knew it, the dance floor was filling up. My cousin was still chatting away, and I began people watching, but I really wanted to dance. In a booth against the wall were three guys in their early 20s. I could tell they were soldiers by their haircuts and black watches. They were cute, and I watched them spitting ice at a waitress when she wasn't looking. It wasn't very nice, but it was funny. One of them caught me laughing at them and smiled at me.
My cousin was wrapping up her conversations, and since she had work and I had class at UofL early the next morning, I knew we'd be leaving soon. I saw an older guy making his way to our table. I thought he was another of my cousin's friends, but he started talking to me. All of a sudden, he turned around, and one of the soldiers was standing there instead.
"Would you like to dance?" he asked.
"Oh gosh," I said, "we are about to leave."
My cousin looked at me, knowing how much I'd been wanting to get out on the dance floor, and said, "Oh, go ahead. We can stay a little while longer."
So the soldier and I walked onto the dance floor and started...talking. He told me his name, Kirk, and asked me mine. He was from Minnesota and confirmed he was stationed at Ft. Knox at Armor Officer Basic Training. He said his buddy's wife had just left him, and he was the designated driver that night. I told him I was an English major and also the designated driver, and we stood on the dance floor talking about books we'd read and who our favorite authors were, all the while barely moving to the music.
After about 15 or 20 minutes, my cousin was tapping on her watch. I told Kirk I had to go, and he walked me over to the table. The whole way back, a voice in my head was whispering,
"Don't let him get away! You will regret it for the rest of your life!"
So I did something I never did with a guy I had just met in a bar. I said, "Why don't you give me a call?" and wrote down my number on a napkin. He wrote down his number for me, and then my cousin and I left.
In the car on the way back to her apartment, I told my cousin, "I have just met the man of my dreams."
She laughed at me, but I said, "I'm serious! I've just met the man of my dreams."
That Friday while I was eating dinner, the phone rang, and it was Kirk. "Hey! You might not remember me, but we met at the bar the other night..."
We made plans to go to see a movie the next night. I didn't want him to know where I lived just yet, so I told him I'd meet him at the McDonald's on Bardstown Road by the Showcase Cinemas. We saw Dead Poets' Society and afterwards we went to Shoney's and sat in the booth until well after midnight drinking coffee and splitting a hot fudge cake.
For our second date, I drove to Ft. Knox, and Kirk took me repelling off the training tower and made me spaghetti. I knew by December that I wanted to marry him.
That was 1989. He moved to Ft. Hood, Texas in February, and after his brief trip to Saudi Arabia for the Persian Gulf War, we were married in August 1992. We lived in Texas, Arizona, and Hawaii before coming home to Kentucky where we have raised three wonderful children, now about the same ages we were when we met.
Sitting here on Valentine's Day thinking about those young kids we were, we had no idea what life would throw at us. We just knew we loved each other, and that has been enough.
NOTE: Throughout the story you read the name, "Kirk." Well, some of you know him. He's a District 7 resident and none other than the Mayor of Crossgate, Kirk Hilbrecht. That's right! The story is about how Mayor Hilbrecht and First Lady Sharron met. It was love at first sight!
I hope their story inspires you to share your story. How did you meet your soulmate? If you tell it to me, I just might tell it to others - right here in this very spot. Let me hear from you. Happy Spring!

’Twas the night before veto days
In the Senate and the House,
So much was occurring,
concurring, and choused.
Some bill drafts were burning,
churning hot off the press,
Some did more for Kentuckians,
But others did less.
The clock struck midnight as the Kentucky General Assembly adjourned on Day 28 of the 2021 Regular Session. It marked the end of a "vote-a-rama," when dozens of bills finished springing out of the legislature in the final two days before members recessed for the "veto period."
The new 1-year budget in House Bill (HB) 192 will essentially piggyback on the document lawmakers adopted in 2020. While Kentucky expects to receive approximately $2.5 billion in one-time federal COVID-19 relief money from the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021, the state awaits more clarification on the exact amount and guidelines on how the dollars can be distributed.
Other appropriations in the 2021-22 fiscal year state/executive branch budget that are expected include:
- $1.7 million for Bluegrass Station Airport and Air Park in Lexington.
- $4.1 million in federal funds for pandemic related-relief programs.
- Full funding of the actuarially required contributions for the Kentucky Teachers’ Retirement System and Kentucky Employees Retirement System.
HB 126 raises the threshold of felony theft to $1,000. Under current law, stealing anything worth $500 or more is a felony punishable by up to five years in prison. HB 126 also allows police to charge members of organized shoplifting rings with a felony if a member stole a total of $1,000 worth of merchandise over 90 days. It is estimated to save the state $4 million a year in prison costs, and allows law enforcement to focus on more serious crimes. It passed in the Senate by a 25-11 vote.
HB 258 makes changes to the Teachers' Retirement System (TRS) for new members after 2022 by moving them into a hybrid plan. This bill passed the Senate by a 25-11 vote. I voted no.
HB 273, known as the Bailey Hope-Preston Cope Victims Privacy Act, will exclude from the Open Records Act photographs or videos that depict a person's death, killing, rape, or sexual assault or abuse except to any victim involved in the incident, any state agency or political subdivision investigating official misconduct, a legal representative of any involved party, and others listed in the bill. It passed unanimously.
HB 320 aims to allocate $250 million to expand broadband in the Commonwealth. It allows distribution cooperatives to facilitate operations of broadband services to unserved and underserved households and businesses. The public health crisis revealed the lack of broadband accessibility many Kentuckians struggle with across the state. HB 320 will bring equity to those areas by increasing connectivity, which is a necessity in 2021. It passed the Senate by a vote of 36-0.
HB 328 re-establishes Kentucky’s regulatory authority for roadside billboards after a federal court ruling called the state’s prior regulations into question. HB 328 passed the Senate 30-6.
HB 574 expands Kentucky elections in several ways. Now, you will be able to vote in-person for several days before Election Day, and there will be more ways to qualify for absentee ballots. It increases access to voting in Kentucky, and passed in the Senate 33-3.
HB 563, known as the school choice bill, allows students to use funds from Education Opportunity Accounts (EOAs) to attend a public school outside his or her district. In a few counties, including Jefferson and Fayette, those monies could be used for students to attend private schools.[NOTE: Senator Berg fears that the legislation undermines public education by siphoning off public dollars to benefit private and religious institutions at the expense of the most vulnerable students. There is also no language to prohibit discrimination in schools accepting EOA payments, which may lead to schools cherry-picking students.] HB 563 passed in the Senate by a vote of 21-15.
All these bills now go to the Governor, who has 10 days, excluding Sundays, to sign the measures or veto any items in the budget or the entire spending plan.
To review all the bills that have been enrolled and delivered to the Governor for his signature, you can visit: https://apps.legislature.ky.gov/record/21rs/enrolled.html.
Members will return on Monday, March 29 and Tuesday, March 30 to review vetoes handed down by the Governor. A majority vote of elected members in the House and Senate is required to override a veto.

Mayor Greg Fischer announced that Louisville Metro Government is loosening restrictions on special events.
The Office of Special Events is accepting applications for events via its online portal. Applicants are required to download and review the state’s guidelines and guidance on events and submit a COVID-19 Safety Protocol Plan with any application. Permit requests for events must adhere to state and local Health Department guidance on preventing the spread of COVID-19 based on CDC recommendations.
Those protocols include communicating that individuals should stay home if sick; remain at least six (6) feet apart from people not a part of their household; wear a cloth face covering or mask over your nose and mouth; and screen and exclude persons with fever, symptoms of COVID-19, and/or direct exposure.
If an event involves more than 50 people, organizers must maintain a record of guests, for contact tracing and notification purposes if someone becomes infected.
Louisville Parks has been gradually moving toward opening more amenities to the public. Within the past few months, playgrounds, and basketball courts have been re-opened with social distancing recommendations in place. Information regarding registration for summer sports is provided below.

On Monday, Gov. Andy Beshear announced 99.7% of all first vaccine doses sent to Kentucky have been administered after another record-setting week.
Over the past week, more than 142,000 Kentuckians have received a COVID-19 vaccine.
“We believe that we are going to hit the president’s goal that every adult in Kentucky and across America who wants their shot of hope will be able to get it by the end of May,” said Gov. Beshear. “We’ve had nine straight weeks of declining cases and if we continue to see this trend, we can relax some of the restrictions even more. But we need to be careful and make sure we bring everybody to the finish line.”
Gov. Beshear, First Lady Britainy Beshear and Kentucky Public Health Commissioner Dr. Steven Stack recognized the milestone of 1 million Kentuckians being vaccinated during a ceremony at the state Capitol. To learn more, see the full release.
On Thursday, Gov. Andy Beshear announced three new regional vaccination locations with two of them being placed in Louisville. The new locations in are:
-
Cardinal Stadium: 2800 S. Floyd St.
- March 31, Kentuckians can schedule appointments that begin April 12 by calling 502-681-1435 or visiting uoflhealth.org.
- The site will be able to vaccinate up to 4,000 people per day as vaccine supply is available making it Kentucky's largest COVID-19 vaccination site.
-
Whitney Young Elementary: 3526 W. Muhammad Ali Blvd.
- Individuals who live in West Louisville can go to NortonHealthcare.com to register for vaccination appointments that begin at this location on April 1.
- Humana and Norton Healthcare will soon announce a toll-free number for scheduling appointments for people who need assistance with the registration process.
- This number is intended for use by people who live in West Louisville.
-
Kentucky Dam Village Convention Center: 113 Administration Drive, Gilbertsville, KY 42044
- Vaccination appointments begin March 24. Kentuckians can pre-register now at kyvax.com/kydam or call 859-217-4679.
- The University of Kentucky, Wild Health, the Marshall County Health Department and Kentucky State Parks are the multiple partners helping manage the site.
Gov. Beshear announced licensed child care facilities can return to traditional classroom group sizes. By Kentucky statute, the group sizes range from 10 for infants, with a staff-to-child ratio of one to five, to 30 children for kids ages 7 and older and a staff-to-child ratio of one to 25.
“A bright day in Kentucky just got brighter,” the Governor said. “The care that has been taken to protect Kentucky’s children and hard-working child care staff will continue even as group sizes increase.”
Children and adults will be screened for fever and contagious symptoms when they enter child care facilities. Personal protective equipment will be provided and worn, and proper sanitization and infection-control measures will be required.
Social distancing requirements will continue to be observed and facility visits will be limited. The same staff members are being asked to work with the same children each day, reducing potential exposure.
To help honor more than 5,000 Kentuckians lost to COVID-19 and the sacrifices of Kentuckians during the pandemic, Gov. Beshear today launched the Team Kentucky COVID-19 Memorial Fund, which will help make a permanent memorial on Capitol grounds a reality.
“This fund will help us make sure no Kentuckian is ever forgotten,” said Gov. Beshear. “Kentuckians can dedicate a donation to someone they’ve lost or someone they want to honor. Soon we’ll announce an artist call to encourage artists to submit their ideas for something that can truly encapsulate the grief, hope, togetherness, difficulty – all of those things we have felt this past year. The sleepless nights, but also, the coming together.”
The Governor first announced plans for the memorial during a March 6 ceremony in Frankfort that honored the Kentuckians lost to COVID-19 since the first case was confirmed in the commonwealth March 6, 2020. To learn more, see the full release.
Citizen's may use Dashboards provided on the state website to view the following statistics: Confirmed Cases, Cases by County, Cases by Sex, Cases by Age Group, Confirmed Deaths, Deaths by Sex and Deaths by Age Group. The Dashboard may be accessed by computer. here.
Since Monday, March 15, people in Tier 1C (individuals ages 16-59 who have qualifying medical conditions and essential employees) are eligible for COVID-19 vaccination in Louisville. LouVax, the vaccination site at Broadbent Arena, will continue prioritization of individuals ages 60 and up.
Essential employers who would like to help their employees receive vaccinations can submit a form through Metro Public Health and Wellness. The form should only be completed by human resource managers or senior leaders and not by individual employees.
Below are links to websites for waitlists, information and appointments. Due to available supply, appointments are limited.
To stay informed on vaccine efforts in Louisville, please sign up now for weekly Covid-19 updates.

Being silly should not just be for kids. How would you goof off? Here are few recommendations from National Today.
1. Be silly
There are a lot of really serious people in the world, and that’s because the social anxiety is real. It’s easy to believe that you’ll get judged by your friends if you let your guard down and crack a few jokes. It’s hard to get over the fear of making a fool of yourself! However, National Goof Off Day is the prime time to conquer that fear and act silly with some friends. We promise they’ll laugh along with you.
2. Rewatch your favorite comedy
What better way to celebrate being goofy than with some of Hollywood’s greatest professional comedians? From The Three Stooges to your favorite comedian today laughter is good for you and very contagious!
3. Leave the work until tomorrow
National Goof Off Day is the day for everything silly … and that doesn’t include work (unless you work as a comedian). Take a personal day and go out and enjoy that spring sunshine! If we’ve learned anything from Ferris Bueller, it’s that sometimes a personal day is much-needed. Who knows—you might even get to star in your own flash mob! If you do, we’d love to see it.

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.
