Crew will be replacing a cross drain
LOUISVILLE, Ky. (Sept. 29, 2022) – The Kentucky Transportation Cabinet (KYTC) advises motorists of the complete closure of a section of KY 1819 (Brush Run Road) this week in Jefferson County.
KY 1819 will be closed on Monday, Oct. 3, from 9:00 a.m.to 6:00 p.m., just east of Dawson Hill Road (mile marker 2.2) as crews work to replace a cross drain. Local traffic will be allowed to enter the work zone but, through traffic will need to follow signed detour route: Dawson Hill Road to Routt Road to Brush Run Road (or vice versa).
Motorists should use caution when crossing the newly replaced cross drains. Crews will place a layer of dense grade rock on the drains until asphalt can be poured.
The date and duration of this work may be adjusted if inclement weather or other unforeseen delays occur. Visit goky.ky.gov for the latest in traffic and travel information in the Commonwealth of Kentucky. You can also get traffic information for the District 5 counties at facebook.com/KYTCDistrict5 and twitter.com/KYTCDistrict5
September 29, 2022 – BBB serving Louisville, Southern Indiana, and Western Kentucky has tips on the best ways to support relief efforts for victims of Hurricane Ian.
The Category 4 storm is expected to have a devastating impact on parts of Florida, and BBB recognizes that many in our service area may have family and loved ones in Ian’s path. To assist people interested in donating to storm relief efforts, BBB offers the following advice:
Is the disaster appeal clear? The contribution request should clearly identify what disaster relief activities you are supporting. There are many possibilities such as temporary shelter, food, medical care, and other emergency needs.
Does the charity already have a presence in the impacted area? Charities that already have support staff in the impacted areas are more likely to deliver help quickly at a time of immediate need.
Is the charity an experienced relief organization? Experienced relief organizations will be able to provide help with greater speed and efficiency than a newly created effort.
If considering crowdfunding, do you know its procedures? Some crowdfunding sites take measures to vet postings after a disaster, others don’t. Review the site’s policies and procedures to find out. If in doubt, it is always safest to donate to people who you personally know and trust.
Does the organization meet the 20 BBB Charity Standards? We recommend donating to charities that meet all 20 of the BBB Standards for Charity Accountability. Visit BBB’s Give.org to access free evaluative reports on charities.
Use caution online. Never click on links to unfamiliar charity websites in text messages or email. These may take you to look-alike websites where you will be asked to provide personal or financial information, or may download harmful content onto your computer. Don’t assume that charity recommendations on social media have already been vetted.
ABOUT BBB: For more than 100 years, the Better Business Bureau has been helping people find businesses, brands and charities they can trust. In 2020, people turned to BBB more than 220 million times for BBB Business Profiles on 6.2 million businesses and Charity Reports on 11,000 charities, all available for free at BBB.org.

Accordingly, we will soon be filing an application for review with the Division of Planning and Design Services (DPDS) that will be assigned a case number and a case manager.
We would like to show and explain this plan so that we might hear what thoughts, issues and concerns you may have.

Adoption Event Sponsored by BISSELL Pet Foundation to Find Urgently Needed Homes for Animals across the Country
LOUISVILLE, KY. October 1, 2022 — Louisville Metro Animal Services (LMAS) and the Kentucky Humane Society (KHS) today announced they are waiving adoption fees for adult cats and dogs as part of a national “Empty the Shelters” event sponsored by the Bissell Pet Foundation. LMAS is also waiving adoption fees for puppies and kittens. “Empty the Shelters” will take place Saturday, October 1 through Saturday, October 8.
Like shelters across the nation, LMAS and the KHS have been at-capacity in recent months and are struggling to find loving homes for their animals. Strays and owner-surrenders have skyrocketed, while adoptions have decreased - not just in Louisville, but across the country.
To encourage local families to adopt during “Empty the Shelters,” the shelters adoption fees are:
-LMAS AND KHS waived adoption fees for adult cats and dogs, 1-year and older
-LMAS is also waiving adoption fees for all kittens and puppies
-Adopters in Jefferson County will still be required to a purchase a 1-year pet license, a requirement of the Louisville Animal Ordinance
To view adoptable animals and learn how to adopt at each shelter visit:
LMAS: Animal Services | LouisvilleKY.gov
KHS: www.kyhumane.org/adopt
“Never have we been more concerned about losing our status as a No Kill Shelter for five consecutive years, now,” said Ashely Book, interim shelter director, LMAS. “More animals entering the shelter, combined with adoptable pets going for weeks without being adopted, has put unprecedented strain on our efforts to save lives and we can’t do it without our community’s support. We encourage anyone that’s looking for a furry companion, to take advantage of Empty the Shelters and all free adoptions, this weekend.”
“If you’ve been thinking about adopting, now is the time to do it,” said Karen Koenig, Vice President of Animal Welfare, KHS. “We haven’t seen this sustained level of homeless animals in our local shelters in a long time. When you adopt during Empty the Shelters, you’re not just saving the life of your new pet, you’re helping make room for the shelter to help even more desperate animals.”
"It has been a challenging year for our nation's animal shelters. The devastating increase in owner surrenders has left thousands of socialized, house-trained and leash-trained pets desperate to find a home," said Cathy Bissell, Founder of BISSELL Pet Foundation. "Our fall' Empty the Shelters' will support the adoption of thousands of pets across the country, helping shelters in this critical time. Opening your home to a shelter pet saves a life and creates space to give another pet a chance."
BISSELL Pet Foundation’s “Empty the Shelters” event is the largest funded adoption event in the country and hosted by more than 280 shelters in 42 states. With a goal of encouraging more families to choose adoption, this lifesaving effort has helped nearly 118,000 pets find loving homes since 2016. “Empty the Shelters” is BISSELL Pet Foundation’s largest program, partnering with a total of 541 animal welfare organizations in 47 states and Canada to reduce adoption fees.
Adoption is a lifetime commitment. BISSELL Pet Foundation, LMAS and the KHS urge families to do their research about the pet they are interested in adopting, as well as adoption requirements. For more information on adopting or donating to “Empty the Shelters,” visit www.bissellpetfoundation.org/empty-the-shelters as well as Animal Services | LouisvilleKY.gov and kyhumane.org.

All of you and your family and friends are invited to a FREE event on October 1 at Bowman Field honoring Phil Ardery a long time Louisvillian who passed away in 2012.
The host organization, Flight Club 502, was created in 2015 to teach teens about aviation, realistic goal setting, leadership, and life planning. Hundreds of Louisville young people have become members. Many have learned to fly and now have private pilot licenses. See www.flightclub502.org.
The Club created a program to honor people who have passed away who exemplify the values of Flight Club 502. The Club will honor Major General Phil Ardery on October 1 at a FREE event at Bowman Field from 6:00 to 7:30 pm. Phil Ardery flew B24 bomber planes in combat in World War II and published a memoir about his service: Bomber Pilot, a Memoir of World War II, University Press of Kentucky 1978. Phil Ardery was the initial Commander of the Kentucky Air National Guard, created in 1947. He also served on the Fiscal Court of Jefferson County, the governing board of important Louisville healthcare providers, and was active in many other civic and charitable organizations.
During the first hour, 6:00 to 7:00, people will mix and mingle. Hundreds are expected to attend, including UPS pilots and their families, Kentucky Air National Guard Officers, NCOs, and Airmen and their families, the families of the hundreds of Club members, and people from many walks of life. People can take tours of the Flight Club 502 building at Bowman Field and talk with young “Ambassadors” from the Club membership who will tell them about the Club’s programs. They can get up close to the Club’s aircraft and other aircraft that will be on display.
During this first hour, recorded statements of several people, including Ed Glasscock, Chairman Emeritus of Louisville's largest law firm, First Brown Todd, Cathy Dobbins, the CEO of Wellspring (wellspringky.org), which Phil Ardery co-founded in the early 1980s, with Boz Todd, Barry Bingham, Sr, will play on several screens at various sites. Wellspring provides residential, crisis management, and other services to adults in Louisville with severe mental health problems. For over 40 years it has been an important provider of mental health services to the people of Louisville.
From 7:00 to 7:30 pm live speakers will talk about General Ardery and Flight Club 502. They will include the current Commander of the Kentucky Air National Guard. There will be live singing, a prayer, and a flyover. It will be a memorial program honoring General Ardery as an important aviator who has “Gone West” – passed away.
No one needs to arrive at 6:00 pm sharp. People can come and go during the first hour if they like. This is a “soft” and (FREE) event.
October 1 is also the first day of the two-day Bowmanfest – celebrating 100 years of Bowman Field. Many aircraft will be on display. It will run from 10:00 am to 5:00 pm. Bowmanfest has paid admission. Ambassadors from Flight Club 502 will be present, wearing distinctive shirts, to help steer people to the FC 502 Gone West event beginning at 6:00 pm. Again, the Gone West event from 6:00 to 7:30 pm is FREE and all are welcome.
Now that Fall is upon us, we are excited to announce plans for the Community Fall Festival & Trunk or Treat! It will be held here at the Community Center, 6104 Bardstown Road on Thursday evening, October 20, from 5:00 pm to 7:00 pm. This year, the festival is going to be co-hosted by, FC Fire Protection District and FC High School! It is a fun-filled family night of trick or treating, bounce houses, a petting zoo and all sorts of fun activities. Like in years past, we will have a fire truck from the FCFD and an LMPD Helicopter, a food truck, along with many other attractions!
The board is offering opportunities for sponsorship of several of the events for the Family Fun Fall Festival at the Community Center. Sponsorships are now available, and signage will be displayed the day of the festival, here on Bardstown Road. Call the office for details.
Even if you do not want to sponsor an event, let us know if you would like to set up a booth. The kiddos will trick or treat at your trunk and you will have the opportunity to network with parents! As a Chamber Member, it is absolutely FREE to have a booth at the festival! Limited space is available, so don't delay. We will take vendors on a first come basis, so please respond to this email or call Jean in the Chamber office, 239-7550, as soon as possible.
This festival is a great way to multiply your business contacts and gain increased exposure to our community. We send flyers, digitally, to several local elementary schools, such as FC Elementary, Bates Elementary, Wheeler Elementary, and St. Gabriel & St. Bernard Catholic Schools. This is our first year back since 2019, where we had a terrific turnout and expect the same this year. Don't miss out on all the fun!
Registration is Open for the Wildest 5K in Town
Presented by Norton Audubon Hospital
Registration for the Zoo’s annual Throo the Zoo 5K is now open. The wildest 5K in town presented by Norton Audubon Hospital takes off at 8 a.m. on Saturday, November 12, 2022, at the Louisville Zoo. Race proceeds benefit the Louisville Zoo, which is dedicated to its mission of bettering the bond between people and our planet.
One of Louisville’s most distinctive run/walk events, the course takes participants “throo” the Zoo —alongside some of their favorite animals and exhibits. The start and finish lines are just outside the Zoo gate, but along the way, participants will be able to see animal ambassadors like bears, giraffes and sloths. The chip-timed course is open to runners and walkers at all fitness levels, including guests with strollers.
“Throo the Zoo is a great event that Norton Audubon Hospital is excited to be a part of each year,” said Randy Hamilton, chief administrative officer at Norton Audubon Hospital. “The Louisville Zoo offers exercise, education and entertainment for the whole family, we value the many great benefits it offers to our community.”
Registration for this important Zoo fundraiser starts at $30 now through September 29 and can be completed online at louisvillezoo.org/throo. Register early before prices increase on September 30 to $35 and again on November 6 to $40. Registration on the morning of the race at the Zoo is $50.
Packet pick up will take place in the bus parking lot at the Zoo on Friday, November 11 from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m.
In conjunction with Throo the Zoo, the Zoo will hold a costume contest sponsored by Swag’s Sport Shoes. Race participants will be invited to take photos of themselves in costume at the race and share it on the Zoo’s Facebook post (Facebook.com/LouisvilleZoo) on the day of the race, November 12, 2022. The Zoo will share the submissions for voting starting on Monday, November 14.
Racers unable to attend the November 12 event, or who prefer to get their miles in at home, can register for the Zoo’s Throo the Zoo Virtual 5K race. The virtual race option allows guests an opportunity to complete the 5K distance on their own at a date, time and course of their choosing. Participants will be mailed a finisher medal and Zoo ticket for a future visit, allowing them to be part of the fun, no matter where they race. Pricing for the Virtual Throo the Zoo 5K begins at $25 with an increase to $30 on September 30.
Throo the Zoo is presented by Norton Audubon Hospital with additional support by Costco, Outfront Media, Swag’s Sport Shoes and Total Body Chiropractic.
