Many of our customers want to think we are building a swimming pool for their enjoyment; some want to think it is a complete spa. It’s a RAIN GARDEN. We are delighted to be creating a Rain Garden with assistance from MSD, plantings from Margaret Shea at Dropseed Nursery and unrelenting encouragement and assistance from David Wicks and the folks at Kentucky Waterways Alliance, along with Councilwoman Tina Ward-Pugh. Lots of bad dirt was replaced by good dirt from EarthFirst on Monday the 10th and will be followed by plantings toward the end of the week. We have a 600 gallon rain barrel coming to catch roof rain from our main building. We encourage neighbors and friends to come look, ask questions and spend as much time as they would like to spend, hoping that others will join us in doing a small part to help clean up the Beargrass. Do stop and take a look, have a cup of Linda’s favorite mint/lemonade/tea and an animal cracker, and of course, we would love for you to shop at eyedia.

In 2011, Louisville Metro Police officers came across 107 meth lab locations in Metro Louisville. Not all were located in homes; some were along roads sides or in cars as part of mobile operations. Right now, it appears 2012 will outpace last year’s number of locations. In an effort to protect neighborhoods and communities, LMPD and the South Jefferson Community Partnership of the Louisville Metro Alliance for Youth are offering three workshops on how to spot a meth lab in your neighborhood. For more information about the workshops, contact Dodie Huff-Fletcher at 502-439-9599. Council members Rick Blackwell (D-12), Bob Henderson (D-14) and David Yates (D-25) are joining Flood and Welch by encouraging residents and neighborhood groups to take advantage of the following three workshops:
