It
was an honor to present Issac Comage this year's "Reaffirming Our Diverse
Culture" Award yesterday during the Metro Council’s annual Black History
Month Program. Issac is a District
19 resident who volunteers as a board member on Flat Rock Ridge Home Owner’s
Association. He helped established his
HOA with the state as a good standing non-profit, reduced the cost of HOA dues
while increasing services and achieved budgetary goals. Issac promotes his neighborhood by organizing
community events such as “Yard of the Month” contests and annual yard
sales. Other accomplishments include
installing “No Solicitation” signs and motivating his fellow residents to be
active in the community.
Issac has successfully completed two marathons; most
recently The Kentucky Derby Marathon in 2010.
He serves as Treasurer for “Runners on a Mission Foundation" which helps
prevent childhood obesity. His efforts
helped him receive the Mayor’s Healthy Hometown Movement Mini-grant.
Congratulations to Issac Comage for all his contributions to
District 19!
If you would like to nominate someone to be considered for
next year’s award, please call me at 574-1119 or email me at jerry.miller@louisvilleky.gov .
Six Drop-off Locations
in District 19
I am joining Councilwoman Madonna Flood’s “Doing
Our Part from the Heart” Campaign by sending toiletries and snacks to our
military service members.
The goal of the campaign is to ask for
donations from the community for simple items such as hand sanitizer, eye
drops, bug repellent, candy and more for troops serving in remote locations in
Iraq and Afghanistan.
“Doing Our Part from the Heart” began
after the Councilwoman received a Christmas wish list from her son serving in
Iraq in 2006. Instead of requesting
something you might expect, he asked for basic personal items like deodorant,
sunscreen, gum and bug repellent. This year’s
campaign is being supported by several businesses offering their facility as drop-off
locations: Middletown City Hall, Eastwood
Fire Department, Republic Bank, Scheller’s Fitness and Cycling, Jackson- Hewitt
Tax Service and Ong’s Urgent Care. The
campaign will collect items through the end of March.
Republic Bank continues its partnership by
setting up an account to accept all monetary donations to cover postage for the
items going overseas. Every package cost $15 to send. For those who do not wish
to donate specific items, donations of money can also be deposited at any
Republic Bank. Make sure to note on the check “From the Heart” account.
Below is a list of needed
items:
- Chewing Gum/Mints/Lifesavers
- Deodorant
- Lotion
- Foot Powder
- Razors
- Body Wash
- Bandaids
- Q-Tips
- Bug Repellant with DEET
- Eye Drops

Nuisance plants
can interfere with driving, damage infrastructure
Kentucky Transportation Cabinet crews will begin treating for noxious and
nuisance weeds throughout the state this month. The treatments aid in
controlling the spread of undesirable plants along state highway rights of way.
The cabinet, in accordance with KRS 176.051, targets Johnson
grass, giant foxtail, Canada thistle, nodding thistle, multiflora rose, black
nightshade, wild cucumber and kudzu.
Property owners can learn more about specific treatments in their
areas by contacting their district highway office. Visit www.transportation.ky.gov and click on the map for district contact
information.
Left uncontrolled, noxious weeds can grow so large that they
interfere with a driver’s line of vision on highways. They can also damage
pavement and embankments and clog ditches, causing drainage problems.
Noxious weeds often invade and destroy the roadside turf grass,
leaving these areas vulnerable to erosion. They can also smother native plants
through rapid reproduction and long-term persistence.
Motorists are reminded to use extra caution when crews spraying
for weeds are out on the roadways.

With spring just
around the corner, Metro Parks and Recreation is encouraging golfers to spend
more time on the fairways and greens by offering a $3 discount during March at
all nine of its municipal golf courses.
The discount is good weekdays between the hours of 12 and 4 p.m., and on the
weekends from 2 to 4 p.m. The purchase of an 18-hole round with a cart
rental is required for the discount. Visit http://www.louisvilleky.gov/MetroParks/golf/golfdisccoupon0310
for the golf discount coupon.
The discount applies only to regular-priced rounds and not in conjunction with
any other discount offers.
“Metro Parks already offers a quality golf experience at very affordable
prices,” said Assistant Director Marty Storch. “This discount will give golfers
some extra incentive to enjoy playing our municipal courses.”
Golfers will be able to redeem the discount through March 31.
For More Information:
Check our website for discount updates at http://www.louisvilleky.gov/MetroParks/golf/golfspecials.htm.
