People Matter
As I reflect on my first five months in office, I must admit that I care more and more about my community and City each and every day. You all inspire me, challenge me and encourage me to continue to be accessible, accountable, connected, responsible and transparent.
From Southwest to West Louisville, you have seen me be there throughout District 1 for my neighbors, for our children and with our seniors. I have joined my colleagues on Metro Council in taking a strong stance against illegal dumping. As you know, the Vacant Property Committee met in March in the Shawnee neighborhood where 55 concerned community members came out to share their stories and to hear from the Metropolitan Housing Coalition, Network Center for Community Change and the Vacant and Abandoned Property Initiative.
I have visited and spent time at all of our elementary schools and our middle school in District 1. In fact, I hosted 100 students from Brandeis Elementary School who toured Metro Hall to learn more about our legislative work and how we govern. And to commemorate Dr. Suess’s birthday, I participated in Every1Reads at five elementary schools throughout the District reading “The Lorax” which is a book about environmental degradation.
I created a Metro Council simulation that I facilitated with two different youth groups in March: Reclaiming Our Dreams youth and young people from Bates Memorial Baptist Church. Needless to say, our future Metro Council members became fully immersed in the simulation and asked for an encore!
We are spending this year celebrating the 70th birthday of Mr. Muhammad Ali and I was honored to join my colleagues—Councilwomen Cheri Bryant Hamilton and Dr. Barbara Shanklin and Councilmen David James and David Tandy—in unveiling a historic marker to Mr. Ali which will be placed in front of his childhood home in the Parkland neighborhood in West Louisville.
Our office had a strong presence at the Riverport Business Association vendor fair and made good connections with companies that are hiring and expanding and serving our District. I also sponsored a workshop hosted by the Legal Aid Society focusing on expunging minor convictions from records and on knowing your rights if you are facing foreclosure.
March is Women’s History Month and I closed out the month having participated in the annual Sistah Summit and providing scholarships for 10 women from District 1 to experience community with other women committed to education and empowerment.
In community,
Attica

The Louisville Metro Air Pollution Control District has been serving Louisville and Jefferson County for more than 60 years, working to ensure healthy air for breathing, economic security and prosperity for our citizens and future generations. Thomas Nord, public information officer, wrote the following article about the APCD and what measures one can take to deal with foul odors and air quality.

Sometimes, a city can be a smelly place. Odors are part of life in a busy metropolitan area. But when a foul smell makes life unbearable, there is place you can turn for help. Investigators with the Louisville Metro Air Pollution Control District will check out your odor complaint and, if warranted, can cite violators who fail to address the problem. Here are steps you can take to combat annoying and persistent odors in your neighborhood.
1. When an odor is affecting your immediate health and safety – such burning your eyes or causing harsh physical discomfort -- call 911.
2. Otherwise, contact APCD for odors that are less threatening but still annoying.
3.Help us track the odor. Tell us where you first detected it, the date and time it was detected, and how long it lasted.
4 Take note of any characteristics, such as “chemical,” “flowery,” “burnt,” “strong,” “mild,” or “obnoxious.
5. Jot down your observations so you’ll have a record of the problem.
You can reach the APCD at (502) 574-6000 Monday through Friday between 8:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m. On nights and weekends, call Metro Call 311 or send an email to Diane Hazellief at dhazellief@louisvilleky.gov.
