BEHIND THE SCENES OF THE GASLIGHT FESTIVAL: CELEBRATING 48 YEARS OF FUN
Jeffersontown’s annual Gaslight Festival began 48 years ago as a small neighborhood street fair when Jack Durrett, a founding member of the Chamber and owner of the old J-town shopping center on Taylorsville Road, decided to put on a half-day community festival. He wanted to do it on Watterson Trail, but the city denied his request, so instead he held it in the parking lot of his shopping center. It was successful enough that the second year the city agreed to close a block of Watterson Trail for the event, which drew a mish-mash of local vendors.

Many people tend to believe the festival simply sprang from the early town fairs, but it has a much more interesting history than that, and it centers around – you guessed it - gaslights.

and her friend Petra Williams, who was an antique collector, author and businesswoman. They, and several other highly influential society members, managed to convince all the other merchants in town to renovate their storefronts in keeping with the new restoration plan and to help clean up the town square in general.
The City funded the $2,000 to purchase a dozen gaslights (later increased to 20), and LG&E was persuaded to provide free labor to install them. The total cost of such a dramatic image change for Jeffersontown was $2,500. The project generated a great deal of publicity for the town, and the Chamber of Commerce decided to embark upon a campaign to have Jeffersontown designated an “All Kentucky City.” To qualify for such an honor, Jeffersontown had to compete against other Kentucky cities in terms of progress, growth, living conditions, opportunity, etc. Because of the newly established Bluegrass Research and Industrial Park and the beautiful new appearance of the town square, as well as meeting all the required criteria, Jeffersontown was able to win the All Kentucky City award, not once, but twice - in 1968 and 1969.

About this time, a local church was remodeling and happened to find one of the original gaslights under the steps of their building. The unit was salvaged by Tom Caxton, an antiques dealer, who owned a fine antique store on Chenoweth Run Road. Peggy and Petra made one of their regular trips to his shop and became enchanted with the old gaslight. They decided that the newly remodeled town square should be lined with the lovely old gaslights, and they promptly took their proposal to the Jeffersontown Mayor and City Council, even offering some of their own money toward the project. The City agreed, and Ozzy Oestringer was hired to make reproduction lamps to line the town square.

In early 1970, the Jeffersontown Chamber of Commerce wanted to build upon the recognition the town had received. At a January meeting, they got their solution. As the story goes, during the meeting, Peggy Weber whispered the notion of a Gaslight Festival to Petra Williams, who immediately jumped up and shouted, “Peggy has the most wonderful idea!” The Chamber members loved the idea and immediately named the new event “The Gaslight Festival.” Although the intent behind the festival was to showcase the newly renovated Gaslight Square and promote the businesses there, Mayor Franklin Chambers decided that the town square was a little too new, clean and fresh to risk throwing a party there. According to Jeffersontown News-Leader editor, Rob Patterson, the organizers said that was “the only bad decision the popular mayor ever made for the city.” Chamber President Jack Durrett came through for the city, however, offering the J-Town Center on Taylorsville Road (which he owned) as the venue for the new event. The organizers quickly accepted. The first annual Gaslight Festival was held on Sunday, June 7, 1970 at the J-Town Center — the same week the Jeffersontown Community Fair was scheduled for June 10-13 at the Community Center. The Chamber wanted to be generous, and so included both events in its poster promoting the Gaslight Festival, which was the only publicity the Festival received that year. They also tried to come up with varied events that would add to the Community Fair, rather than compete with it. One of the events that organizers created to attract a crowd was a parade, which ironically began at City Hall and ended at the J-town Center, now the reverse occurs. The first Gaslight Festival was a mild success in comparison with the Community Fair that year, but by the second year, things improved, since Mayor Chambers agreed to allow the 1971 event to be held on Gaslight Square, as originally planned. The second annual Gaslight Festival reflected Petra Williams’ love of antiques and crafts, with many more display booths and a large antique show.
The third annual Gaslight Festival in 1972 really got the ball rolling. Jack Durrett used the 175th anniversary of the founding of Jeffersontown as a way to promote both the city and the Gaslight Festival. The festival was moved to September 30 – October 2, many more events were scheduled, and the weather was fine. Several thousand people attended the event, and the Gaslight Festival became a firmly established event. By 1977, crowd estimates were at 150,000. Ironically, the original purpose of the Gaslight Festival had dramatically changed in that short space of time. The businesses that were once being promoted during the festival had to close their doors during the event because of the huge number of booths placed at their storefronts. Still, that indicated the growing prosperity of Jeffersontown and its willingness to change with the times. The Gaslight Festival became inextricably linked with the City of Jeffersontown, and even today continues to grow and adapt with the city. Nothing says “Jeffersontown” more than the Gaslight Festival.

BEHIND THE SCENES OF THE GASLIGHT FESTIVAL CELE B RATIN G 48 YE A RS OF FU N Writer / Christy Heitger-Ewing
Jeffersontown’s annual Gaslight Festival began 48 years ago as a small neighborhood street fair when Jack Durrett, a founding member of the Chamber and owner of the old J-town shopping center on Taylorsville Road, decided to put on a half-day community festival. He wanted to do it on Watterson Trail, but the city denied his request, so instead he held it in the parking lot of his shopping center. It was successful enough that the second year the city agreed to close a block of Watterson Trail for the event, which drew a mish-mash of local vendors. “Basically, anyone in the community who wanted to set up a table could come out and do so,” says Chamber president John Cosby. “The Gaslight Festival has grown organically through the years from a small half-day neighborhood fair into a regional event that attracts a couple hundred thousand attendees as well as 250 vendors from all over the Southeast.”
The eight-day extravaganza is the fourth largest community festival in the Louisville metro area, featuring a parade, poker rally, carnival rides, car show, golf scramble, balloon glow, bounce houses, bowl games, 5K run/walk, arts & crafts fair and more. “We have a good mix of vendors — everything from hairbow and jewelry makers to wood carvers and air-brushed t-shirt designers,” says Meghan Murphy, the Chamber’s communications director. “On the commercial side, we have lots of local businesses and members of the Chamber.” Mike Edrington, a resident of Jeffersontown for 60 years and longtime vendor, looks forward to the festival every year, where he has sold homemade Buckeye jewelry since 1975. “I sell out every year,” says Edrington, though for him it’s more about the connections he makes than the money he brings in. “This festival is like a reunion for me.”
Tie Dye to Go vendor Barb Hawley agrees. “Many of my high school buds visit and hang out at my booth,” Hawley says. “It’s like a mini-JHS reunion every year.” Making those happy reunions possible, however, takes a great deal of planning and execution, not to mention time, effort and manpower. With a staff of five people (which includes Cosby, Murphy, Denise Johnson, Katherine Druin and Abigail Costello), managing the many logistics requires forward thinking, backwards planning and substantial recruiting of volunteers. In fact, it takes between 200300 volunteers to cover the different tasks, which include folding t-shirts, stuffing 5K runner packets, answering phones and handling the mounds of registration forms necessary for the various events. “We’ve been doing this long enough that we’re a pretty well-oiled machine,” Murphy says. “But that’s not to say we wouldn’t appreciate extra sets of hands — especially

Denise Johnson, Membership, The Chamber Jeffersontown
in the days and weeks leading up to the festival when we work upwards of 100 hours.” Cosby agrees, noting that he’s found members of his team asleep on the conference room floor, taking cat naps due to pure exhaustion. The fatigue is not surprising because in addition to all the organizing, planning and scheduling, preparations also require some good, oldfashioned muscle. Given that some events do not take place downtown, throughout the week of the festival, the planning team must transport drinks, signage, tables, chairs and other materials from one location to another. “We pack stuff up, haul it to one place, tear it down that night, come back and pack up a whole different set of things to haul somewhere else the next day,” Cosby says. “Our team members’ cars are often loaded to the brim.”
Katherine Druin, Finance Manager, The Chamber Jeffersontown
After the festival wraps up, the Chamber team meets to debrief and brainstorm ways to improve things for the following year. Vendor applications go out in January. But activity really amps up in the summer when event applications are sent. Then, as the festival dates draw near, the planning intensifies as the team negotiates sponsorship packages, deals and perks. “These perks wouldn’t happen without the local businesses who sign on to sponsor the festival,” says Murphy, noting that they have a core group of 13 platinum sponsors who typically come back every year. “For example, some of the event registrations include a free meal and a t-shirt. That stuff would not be supplied without the support of our sponsors.”
Meghan Murphy, Communications, The Chamber Jeffersontown
And then there’s the logo design. For the past 10 years, the Chamber has partnered with the Sullivan College of Technology and Design. Students create logos for the festival and the Chamber team then narrows the selections and picks a final one in May. “We like that the logo for our community festival is created by local talent,” Murphy says. JeffersontownMag.com / SEPTEMBER 2017 / JEFFERSONTOWN MAGAZINE / 15
Members of the planning team meet with the city, public works, the police and the fire department to ensure the safety of all who participate.
Abigail Costello, Administrative, The Chamber Jeffersontown
“We have people working round the clock,” Murphy says. For instance, the police patrol the festival grounds during off hours. Public works employees show up at 5 a.m. to spray the streets clean and tidy. Electricians are on hand in case a vendor loses electricity to their booth. “People don’t see how much planning and discussion goes into the festival to make sure it’s safe and seamless to the participant,” Murphy adds. Not that there aren’t bumps along the road from time to time, but given the beloved nature of the Gaslight Festival, a great number of folks work diligently to make sure it runs smoothly. “As we finalize details just prior to kicking off the festival, there’s a lot of list checking, a lot of phone calling and a lot of hair pulling,” Cosby says with a chuckle. “But it’s all worth it to achieve the outcome.” Cosby knows, firsthand, just how important this local celebration is to those in the community. He learned this lesson the hard way the first year he was put in charge of the event. Mother Nature poured buckets the entire weekend. In fact, it rained so much that a deluge of water ran through the streets of downtown Jeffersontown. “Nobody showed up all day Saturday — I mean nobody — because the weather was horrendous,” Cosby says. “So, at 6 p.m., I shut it down and sent the vendors home.” Around 8 p.m., however, the rain stopped so Cosby came back to the festival grounds and his mouth dropped open. “There were probably 10,000 people walking up and down the street as though the festival was still going on,” Cosby says. “I learned that year not to ever, under any circumstances, shut down the Gaslight Festival because people will come.” Carolyn Neal Pfister, born and raised in Jeffersontown, has only missed a handful of festivals in her life. “My family has always owned a business on town square, so I’ve been in the thick of it, either attending or working,” says Pfister, who, for many years worked for the Chamber. “The preparations were exciting and exhausting, but when you are putting together a festival for your hometown, it’s a feeling I just can’t explain. The Gaslight Festival holds a special place in my heart.”

later, Olshansky decided to stay put in Jeffersontown. He moved a few more times after 1973, but remained in Plainview. Within a year, Olshansky was elected president of the Plainview Residents’ Association. He was already president of two professional organizations and was managing a rapidly growing life insurance office. “When the neighborhood is brand new, who else is going to volunteer except the 11 people there?” says Olshansky of his unexpected entrance into local politics. Because of his popularity in neighborhood politics, Olshansky received a call from Jeffersontown’s city attorney a couple years
18 / JEFFERSONTOWN MAGAZINE / SEPTEMBER 2017 / JeffersontownMag.com
later to gauge his interest in running for city council. That call led to a nearly quarter century stint with city council as Olshansky continued to be re-elected to the post.
Following that project, he took on the challenge of creating the Jeffersontown Historical Museum and was appointed executive director of the museum in 1997. Olshansky, who has a background in woodworking and had aspirations to be an industrial arts teacher in college, was an integral part of building the museum from the ground up.
“I was reluctant at first, but after I got involved I was really enjoying it,” Olshansky says. He went on to become a council member on the executive board on the chamber of commerce, and worked with the chamber to improve the Gaslight Festival.
“I made it a walk through time with the city, from when it was just formed in 1797 with a general store and an old time cash register,” Olshansky says. “People started finding out about it, and we weren’t even open yet. They started bringing items in for us to use.” With the renewed interest in the city’s history, Olshansky brought on some students from Jeffersontown High School
“I was making little changes, then I became the chairman of the Gaslight Festival, and that’s when I really made some changes,” says Olshansky, who transformed the three-day festival into the week-long affair it is today. Olshansky ran the Gaslight Festival for three years before moving on to other projects. Around the same time, he went through a divorce with his wife of 18 years. “I didn’t have much left, so I started all over again,” he says. Nearly three years later, Olshansky married again. “Rita worked at City Hall, and she was the treasurer of the city,” says Olshansky of his wife of 34 years. “I was always looking for money, so I was always in contact with her.”

In the following years, Olshansky took on several other roles with the city. He served as director of economic development for nearly five years, working closely with realtors and networking to create beneficial relationships for the city.

“Anytime someone came to town looking for a spot for their business, I’d hustle over there and show it to them,” Olshansky says. One of his deals brought 100 jobs to the city in just the first year.

to help document and catalog all of the new items. Support the community, including a dedicated team of volunteers, helped launch the museum at a successful grand opening. “It was a collective effort from a lot of people,” Olshansky says. “Many of whom are still involved with the museum, so that’s a tribute to it.” In 1999, Olshansky retired. Rita had retired earlier in the year, and Olshansky spent his final drive home from work contemplating how he would spend his time in retirement. “I walk in the door that night, and Rita said, ‘Don’t sit down, I’m tired of sitting around, let’s go!’ And we’ve been going ever since,” he says. “I think she’s keeping me young.” Stir crazy with their unlimited amount of free time, the Olshanskys departed on what has been a decade-plus journey in the retail industry. After running a consignment shop on Lyndon Lane for a couple years, they opened a store in St. Matthews that included a restaurant. The St. Matthews store lasted about three years until they sold the building in December 2015 due to parking issues at the venue. Olshansky thought they were out of the retail business for good, but less than a year later the couple was checking out the site of their latest venture, Shop of Shops. Although the new location was three times the size of their last store, they pounced on the opportunity. several years.

iDrive Financial and Best Buy Motors Located in the heart of Jeffersontown, iDrive Financial and Best Buy Motors are currently celebrating their 10-year anniversary. The sister companies focus on the sale and service of foreign cars but also work on domestic vehicles. Jeffersontown native Edgar Migirov and his partner Vlad Inotayev worked together for years wholesaling cars before they decided to start their business in 2007. “As our customer database started growing, we decided we might as well open a dealership,” says Migirov, who was just 20 years old when they launched the business. The duo started out with just five cars on their lot, and now they have around 100 on any given day. Their team has also expanded to a 13-person operation. To Edgar and Vlad, the word “drive”
refers to the passion that they have for the business. “For someone who’s good at what they do, their profession becomes more of a hobby,” Migirov says. “Vlad looks forward to finding the rarest and most sought-after inventory and then bringing them in to clean and prepare for sale. “Vlad is an expert when it comes to cars,” Migirov adds. “He knows more than anyone I know. Vlad handles all the behind the scenes and technical aspects, while I handle all the front office responsibilities. We really are a team of individuals that is dedicated to giving our customers an experience like no other. We strive to keep the process as simple, clean and transparent as possible.” “As far as services go, I can’t think of anything we don’t do here,” says Chad
Wentworth, lead tech for the company. “Our entire staff is certified, and most of us have dealership backgrounds.” Jeffersontown has remained the home base for iDrive Financial and Best Buy Motors because of the nice, safe neighborhood environment. In celebration of their anniversary, the company is offering 10 percent off any service for new customers who mention this article when they go to the store. “We appreciate the local support from the community, and we want to encourage our neighbors to come see us,” Migirov says. “iDrive Financial has the highest review rating in the industry with absolutely zero buyer’s remorse. We are currently the only Independent Certified Dealer in Louisville. We are also NIADA certified.” The group also wants to offer a $300
22 / JEFFERSONTOWN MAGAZINE / SEPTEMBER 2017 / JeffersontownMag.com
discount to any active military, veteran, fire, police, JCPS and city or state government employees toward the purchase of a vehicle. “We appreciate and want to give a shoutout to the city of Jeffersontown and the good services that they render to the community,” Migirov says. “For anyone who prefers a small scale, personalized buying experience without all the hassle, then we’re the place for you.” Migrov says that Vlad and himself personally put their own touch on every deal to ensure that every customer leaves with a big smile and them with a 5-star review.
“Customer loyalty and a steady stream of referrals have always been the main reason we’re successful,” Migirov says. “All our vehicles undergo a vigorous inspection by our technicians. We have recently launched a certified pre-owned program, which comes with 100,000 bumper to bumper warranty and at the same price you would find elsewhere without that kind of warranty.” iDrive Financial and Best Buy Motors, located at 10207 and 10209 Taylorsville Road, are open from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m., Monday through Saturday. For more information, or to request an appointment, call 502-999-9000.

A WILD LIFE LOUISVILLE INTERNATIONAL FILM FESTIVAL ENTRANT TALKS TAEKWONDO, FILM DIRECTING AND FALCON TRAINING Writer / Jon Shoulders Photographer / Brian Brosmer
The term “Renaissance man” is probably an understatement when applied to Edwin Brochin. His past and current professional titles include martial arts instructor, charter boat captain, hunting and fishing guide, television producer and host and feature film director. An Evansville native, Brochin competed as a full-time taekwondo athlete from 1989 to 2003, with seven Indiana state championships and a medal from the 1997 U.S. championship tournament to his name. In 1993, he opened the doors to TKO Taekwondo, a self-defense and competitive martial arts dojo in Indianapolis, and began hosting tournaments at his facility shortly after building up a steady clientele.
Brochin’s experience hosting TKO tournaments unwittingly helped pave the way for a successful foray into the television and film world — but those experiences had nothing to do with kicking, punching or grappling.
Indy channel UPN-23 promptly took notice. A 13-episode fishing and hunting documentary series was agreed to, and by 2005 “Outdoors with Eddie Brochin”, produced by and starring Brochin himself, was airing nationally.
“I would videotape all those fight nights, so I learned how to produce and edit just by filming those tournaments,” he says. “I enjoyed it and seemed to have a knack for it.”
Since launching his TV document series, which ran until 2010, Brochin has produced and directed several films including “The Falconer: Sport of Kings”, his first feature film shot in Mongolia and completed in July 2013. The film follows professional falconers who use golden eagles for hunting expeditions, and Brochin spent almost a month living among Mongolian sheepherders for the project. It won Best Director of a Feature Documentary at the 2014 Madrid International Film Festival and several other international awards.
In 1999 Brochin’s informal directorial endeavors continued when he and a friend traveled to South Carolina to shoot an educational video on catfish fishing methods. An avid outdoorsman since his early years, Brochin rented a booth at the annual Indianapolis Boat, Sport and Travel Show to sell VHS copies of the film, and a representative from local
JeffersontownMag.com / SEPTEMBER 2017 / JEFFERSONTOWN MAGAZINE / 25
“I was fascinated with birds of prey since I was about eight years old,” says Brochin, who began training formally in falconry in 2003 and is currently a U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service Master Falconer. “I was an apprentice under a master falconer named Greg Thomas and studied for years at it. It’s fascinating to me.” Since completing “Falconers”, Brochin has remained busy with two subsequent film projects. “Spirit of the Bull” tells the story of a legendary fighting bull known as El Toron and won multiple international film festival awards in 2016. “The Whisker Seeker”, a documentary on conservation practices related to catfish, was completed this year and has already been accepted into three film festivals including this fall’s Louisville International Festival of Film. “It’s a conservation film about catfish and exposing all the illegal fishing practices in the industry as well as the legal commercial overharvesting of catfish around the

country,” Brochin says. “It took me five years to produce, and it’s been released on Amazon Prime.” Brochin recently signed a distribution deal with Sony Entertainment for all three of his film documentaries, which will be available through iTunes, Google Play, Netflix and Hulu beginning in November. Never one to stay idle, he is currently working on a sequel to The Whisker Seeker called “Sharks of the Amazon”, which he hopes to be the second in an ongoing documentary series on catfish. Reflecting on his unusually diverse career journey, Brochin maintains that his successes have arisen from an honest and diligent pursuit of his true passions. “The things I’ve built up and spent so much time on, like my martial arts facility and my hunting and fishing charter service, I feel a strong responsibility to maintain those things and take pride in them,” he says. “There’s never been a time to really get too comfortable, and I enjoy all these things that I involve myself with.”

MUSIC GO ROUND 3640 S. Hurstbourne Pkwy Louisville, KY 40299 (502) 495-2199 MusicGoRoundLouisvilleKy.com
Music Go Round has been buying and selling instruments in Louisville for 21 years, including the last eight years at their location off Hurstbourne Parkway. Owner Doug Carlson didn’t have any professional experience in the music business before starting the Louisville franchise, but music was always his passion. “I used to manage steel plants up in Pennsylvania,” Carlson says. “We made wire, some of which is used for musical instruments like pianos, guitars, mandolins and banjos.”
Carlson wound up in Shelbyville, Kentucky, 24 years ago to manage a small wire plant and had the opportunity to make a career change after his position was downsized.
“It’s sort of like being semi-retired, because it’s a lot of fun,” he says.
“Music had always been a hobby, but I wasn’t really good enough playing to make a living at it,” says Carlson, who has an engineering degree.
Doug’s son Phil is also a part owner in the business. Phil operates the store on a day-today basis, manages employees and oversees all inventory. Rather than leasing the space, Doug bought the building that houses Music Go Round when the business moved in and leases it to Phil.
Instead, finding himself in Kentucky and without a job, Carlson jumped on the chance to buy a Music Go Round franchise.
Music Go Round has 35 locations across 18 states, and the Jeffersontown store is the only location in Kentucky. The friendly and
28 / JEFFERSONTOWN MAGAZINE / SEPTEMBER 2017 / JeffersontownMag.com
knowledgeable staff has decades of experience across a wide range of instruments. The entire sales staff are musicians who have a genuine love for what they’re selling, many of whom started as customers at the business before joining the Music Go Round team. Customers in search of anything from a guitar to a violin to keyboards can find what they’re looking for at Music Go Round. The selection is great for both seasoned musicians adding to their instrument collection and youngsters starting out in their school band. And if it turns out you’re no longer using your instrument after a while or need an upgrade, Music Go Round buys instruments and gear seven days a week. The staff reviews each item then makes an offer based on fair market value. If you accept the offer, you’ll get paid on the spot. If you’re looking to score a deal, be on the lookout for the store’s seasonal sales, including a back-to-school sale that’s great for families in search of school band instruments. There are also clearance events throughout the year. The next upcoming clearance event is the Thanksgiving Day Event that takes place the day before Thanksgiving. Music Go Round’s team of teachers even offer lessons seven days a week The 30-minute private sessions are available by appointment only and cover a wide range of instruments. Their teachers have a wealth of musical experience as performers and instructors and are committed to helping young people hone their craft. Between all the new and used gear options, there is something for everyone. Music Go Round is also an authorized UPS shipper, so they can send gear across the country. All shipments are insured, and the staff has the know-how to expertly pack instruments for quick and safe transport. Music Go Round, located at 3640 S. Hurstbourne Parkway, is open from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. Monday through Friday, 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Saturday and noon to 4 p.m. Sunday.

Batter Up J-TOWN RESIDENT IS LEADING THE PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT FOR LOUISVILLE SLUGGER
Writer / Shannon Siders
Since producing the first Louisville Slugger bat in 1884, Hillerich & Bradsby Co. has continued to churn out hundreds of thousands of bats each year. Leading the way in product development for the iconic brand is Jeffersontown resident Matt Bynum. “We’re always looking into how we can differentiate ourselves from all the competitors out there,” Bynum says of H&B. “Because we have a relationship with Wilson now, we work with them to introduce new manufacturing methods, things nobody has really looked for in a wood bat.” The Louisville Slugger brand was bought by Wilson Sporting Goods in 2015, and H&B continues to own and operate the official production facility. Along with a team of coworkers, Bynum is at the forefront for all product development each season. “Right now, we’re in the middle of developing what all the wood bats are going to look like for next year’s catalog line,” Bynum says. “There’s a lot of work involved with that, so I have a lot of responsibilities right now.” Bynum has had a range of responsibilities at the company, stemming back to the co-ops he completed at H&B as part of his college experience with the University of Louisville’s Speed School of Engineering. After graduating, he joined H&B full time in October 2002. Bynum topped off the month by marrying his wife, Catherine, and the couple moved into their first house in Jeffersontown. Following the Wilson acquisition, Bynum now handles all of the facility engineering projects internally for H&B, as well as for Wilson. On any given day, he’s spending time working in product development and figuring out ways to make the factory and processes more efficient. Along with a team of coworkers, Bynum is at the forefront for all new product development for each season.
Keeping things fresh for a brand that is over a century old can be tough, but Bynum looks forward to the challenge. “We pride ourselves in producing a lot of color mixes,” Bynum says. “Most of the other competitors stick to fairly basic color configurations, so black or natural colors. They don’t vary a whole lot from that. Slugger products stand out from them, because we have reds and blacks, blue with flame temper, flat finishes paired with high gloss finishes, all sorts of different graphics and details.” Bynum expressed excitement for the future of Louisville Slugger, saying Wilson offered a “breath of fresh air” to the legendary
brand. In addition to new colors and designs for bats, his team has also been exploring various species of wood. Typically companies stick to ash, hard maple and birch when making major league quality bats. Because of the emerald ash borer that has wreaked havoc in ash forests, it’s becoming more important to find other viable options. “There’s all sorts of other species that are approved materials to use for MLB players,” said Bynum, noting hickory, red oak and beech as some alternatives. “It’s just that nobody’s really ever reached into that bag yet.” One of the best parts about the job for
JeffersontownMag.com / SEPTEMBER 2017 / JEFFERSONTOWN MAGAZINE / 31
Bynum is that he can share it with others. Nearly every visitor to or resident of Louisville is familiar with the larger-than-life bat that marks the entrance to Louisville Slugger Museum & Factory downtown. Tours of the production floor are offered seven days a week, during which visitors can take in the actual process used to make Louisville Slugger wood bats. “It’s fun to see people come in here to visit the facility and get as excited as you see them,” Bynum says. “I don’t think a lot of other companies have the ability to offer that type of experience to the outside person.” In addition to the factory tour, visitors can learn more about the history of Louisville Slugger bats and get some swings in at the batting cages. The museum and factory has had its fair share of famous visitors throughout the years, and Bynum noted superstar Josh Hamilton was one of his favorites to meet. He has also enjoyed attending the annual Louisville Slugger Museum & Factory Living Legend Award ceremony, which has honored some of the greatest in the game. When he’s not shaping the future of Louisville Slugger bats, Bynum is coaching his 12-year-old daughter Hannah’s Derby City Crush traveling softball team. Catherine also coaches their eight-year-old daughter Sophia’s team through Jeffersontown Youth Softball. With rare free moments, they visit some of their favorite local Jeffersontown establishments such as Mussel & Burger Bar, Chubby Ray’s and the movie theater. The family currently resides in the Monticello Park neighborhood and enjoy the overall central location of Jeffersontown. Keep your eye out for a Louisville Slugger bat the next time you’re at a baseball game, and know that a Jeffersontown resident had a big part in making it happen. 32 / JEFFERSONTOWN MAGAZINE / SEPTEMBER 2017 / JeffersontownMag.com

CONSERVING WATER : IN THE KITCHEN It is a good idea to conserve water around the house because it benefits the environment, while reducing your water bills. If you’d like to start conserving water, a great place to start is in the kitchen. It can be as easy as using the refrigerator to cool water, washing food in a basin, or changing the way you wash your dishes. Details for each suggestion are listed below.
As an added benefit, some containers are equipped with a water filter that can better purify your home’s tap water. Though most tap water is adequately filtered before reaching your home, a second filter can help remove additional contaminants.
1. COOL WATER IN THE REFRIGERATOR
If you find yourself washing fruits and vegetables under a running faucet, consider using a water-filled basin instead. Your produce can be cleaned just as well, while conserving a great deal of water in the process.
Instead of letting the tap run each time you want a glass of water, keep a container of drinking water in the refrigerator. Because it will no longer be necessary to run the tap until the water is cold, much less water will be wasted.
2. WASH FOOD IN A BASIN
Should a clean basin not be available, a well cleaned sink will
34 / JEFFERSONTOWN MAGAZINE / SEPTEMBER 2017 / JeffersontownMag.com
work just as well. Just insert the stopper and fill the sink with enough water to thoroughly wash your fruits and vegetables. A short rinse under the tap may be required. 3. CHANGE YOUR DISHWASHING STRATEGY Do not run your dishwasher unless you have a full load of dishes ready to be washed. Because the same amount of water will be used regardless of the load size, the fewer loads you wash, the less water will be used. If you plan to buy a new dishwasher, look for a water efficient model. Alternately, if you hand wash your dishes, don’t run a continuous stream of water for rinsing. If possible, use a second sink for rinse water. If you only have one sink, wait to rinse your dishes until the dish rack is full. Then, fill a container with warm water to rinse all of the washed dishes at once. Many people are looking for ways to use less water at home. As the average kitchen uses a large amount of water, it can be a great place to start conserving. By cooling water in the refrigerator, washing your food in a basin, and changing your dishwashing strategy you will not only help the environment, but also lower your water bills.

VETERANS MEMORIAL PLAZA COMING SOON UPDATES TO VETERANS MEMORIAL PARK TO INCLUDE ALL-INCLUSIVE PLAYGROUND Writer / Shannon Siders
In July, the Jeffersontown City Council unanimously approved the proposed plans and updates for Veterans Memorial Park, including the new Veterans Memorial Plaza, an all-inclusive playground and other park enhancements. The approval of the park construction marks an exciting time for Jeffersontown residents and will provide a much-needed facelift and improvements for the park, which was originally constructed in 1980. Veterans Memorial Park, located in the heart of Jeffersontown at 10707 Taylorsville Road, will encompass about 50 acres of land at completion. New trailheads will eventually help link the area to the blossoming Parklands, with the hopes of drawing more people to downtown Jeffersontown. Taylor Siefker Williams Design Group, an award-winning landscape architecture and community planning studio with offices in Louisville and Indianapolis, designed the new memorial plaza. They were also the design group behind the Big Four Station project in nearby Jeffersonville, that sparked an immense economic development and housing boom in southern Indiana. Partner and Principal Ron L. Taylor,
who has nearly 25 years of experience in urban design, landscape architecture, and planning, led the design team for the project. “One of the things that drives us is the idea that what makes a community unique and special is the quality of life that comes out,” Taylor says. “That’s what makes people move to an area, live in an area, respond to an area. In doing some of the park designs, that’s really given us the ability to rethink what a quality space is going to be and how it’s going to serve a community the best.” Despite plenty of experience, the Veterans Memorial Park project provided some unique opportunities for the design group. “We’re rethinking a park and trying to make it something that’s special to everyone,” says Amin Omidy, landscape architect and project manager at Taylor Siefker Williams. “That will mean different things to different people, and we want to keep the overall layout easy to interface with. People will have great memories there, and the park will age well over time.” One of the aspects Taylor and Omidy both agreed they’re most excited about is the allinclusive playground area that will cater to users of all ages and abilities.
“The playground that’s going in is going to be pretty phenomenal,” Taylor says. “There’s an experience that will happen there that will be more than just your typical play space.” Children and adults in wheelchairs will be able to wheel right up to the equipment because of the solid flooring at the base of the playground, and ramps will allow them to access the full length of the play area. Even equipment that typically would not be accessible to people with disabilities will be accessible. In addition to the revamped, allinclusive playground, the plans include a 30,000-square-foot memorial area with plenty of green space, trees, benches and an elevated stage. “The purpose of the plaza and memorial wall is to create a unique space to honor and remember the men and women who have served in the U.S. Military and those who have given their lives while serving,” says Jeffersontown Mayor Bill Dieruf. “Jeffersontown has long been a supporter of military veterans and current military members. The new memorial plaza will serve as a permanent recognition of the significance of military service.” The memorial will provide a solemn and

reflective experience that pays respect to the five branches of the military. A glass structure framed by steel and limestone will feature quotes and photos representative of each of the branches, providing a backdrop for the stage area. A tree-lined pedestrian promenade and processional space will be constructed on the western side of the military plaza, including plenty of benches and seat walls. The green space can also be used for smaller community gatherings such as health fairs or senior events. The plaza will be able to accommodate nearly 500 people for formal ceremonies, when utilizing both the paved and green spaces. The expansion will allow for more large-scale events to be held at the area, and the group hopes to have more veteranfocused programming on site.
a mix of contemporary and traditional design materials all within the traditional form,” says Matthew Meunier, Director of Community Development and Assistant to the Mayor. “Utilizing steel, limestone, glass, pavers and prominent landscaping, it will stand as a symbol for the strength, valor, honor and dedication of the United States Military.”
The Tri-An Foundation is also erecting a monument just off the new plaza that will honor the sacrifices of American and South Vietnamese Armed Forces made during the Vietnam War. Through a global online contest, 128 entries from 29 countries were submitted to be the chosen design. Grega Vezjak, an architect from Slovenia, was selected by the international jury as the “The design provides for a more winner. The winning design can be seen at contemporary memorial style than other memorials in the park with its utilization of tri-ancompetition.com. The city is working closely with the local American Legion G.I. Joe Post to create a design for the Armed Forces Wall that perfectly encompasses the spirit of the memorial, as well as accurately depicts each of the five branches.
Other additions and updates to the park include new picnic shelters, a revamped park drive and circular parking area and accessible trails. The designers were careful not to overload the park with cramped shelters, but a few will be added to help negate current space issues the park faces on weekends. The updated trails will create an expanded system within the park, that will work to connect all of Jeffersontown’s parks. The plan is for the first phase of the project, including the memorial plaza with the Armed Forces Wall and allinclusive playground, to be ready for unveiling by Memorial Day 2018. Work on Memorial Plaza will be underway this fall and other updates will soon follow.

Welcome to the Neighborhood
A LOOK AT JEFFERSONTOWN’S EARLIEST SUBDIVISIONS Writer / Beth Wilder, Director Jeffersontown Historical Museum
landowners began selling off chunks of their property to interested buyers.
Jeffersontown was founded in the late 1700s as a crossroads where travelers could rest and regroup before making their way to the port city that would eventually become known as Louisville. Many of those people, once they arrived at their destination, realized that the land and water they left behind in Jeffersontown were far superior to what they encountered on the banks of the Ohio River. So, they decided to return and settle there instead.
Still, by the early 1900s, Jeffersontown had only around 600 inhabitants. The town square had grown quite a bit, and the city had its own bank, newspaper, flour mill, creamery and several different kinds of stores, just to name of few of the many business that had formed over the years. For one enterprising resident, however, that simply was not enough — Jeffersontown needed more people.
Farming was the lifeblood of people at the time, even if a man operated a separate business, owning some acreage to grow his own food and hunt was practically a necessity. Early on, the population of Jeffersontown was sparse, with merely a handful of individuals in possession of vast tracts of land obtained from Revolutionary War pensions, but as time wore on and people realized the potential in the countryside around Jeffersontown,
E.R. Sprowl was an entrepreneur who was devoted to Jeffersontown. He had begun his career selling insurance door to door, so he grew to know the area like the back of his hand. He also grew to know the people, and what they wanted and needed in a town. Sprowl eventually became a real estate agent and auctioneer, and in 1908, he published a booklet about Jeffersontown, “the coming suburb,” in the hopes of getting others to invest in property around the place he proudly called home.
In his advertising booklet, Sprowl pointed out that the area around Jeffersontown was “high and dry,” the quality of the land was excellent, work of all kinds was plentiful and that even if one met with misfortune, he would still be among friends. Sprowl also noted that Jeffersontown had eight churches, excellent business opportunities and low taxes. Sprowl encouraged people to take advantage of the opportunity to buy land in Jeffersontown, imploring them to “get rid of the dirt and confusion of the city, in exchange for the healthfulness and quietude of the country,” where they could “live much better for less than one-half.” He also noted that no one ever “need suffer for water in this section, if they will bore from 30 to 60 feet.” Yes, owning a home in the early 1900s meant not only having it constructed yourself but making sure you supplied your own water as well. Fortunately, Jeffersontown was known for its fresh,
JeffersontownMag.com / SEPTEMBER 2017 / JEFFERSONTOWN MAGAZINE / 43
clean, ample water, but it would be 1937 before a water tower would be erected in the town, thus enabling most of Jeffersontown’s residents to have running water for the first time. Sprowl also noted that because Louisville was expanding its boundaries, land for agricultural purposes was too valuable to ignore. Jeffersontown had some of the best soil in the county, and at the time, it was known for strawberry and onion cultivation (potatoes grew rather well, too, but not quite as good as they did in the Shelbyville Road area). The Southern Railroad and Interurban car line provided excellent means of distributing this bounty, so local farmers had ready access to transportation of their goods. Orchards were another means of providing a livelihood, or at least an added sum of money to individuals fortunate enough to have fruit trees on their property, not to mention having fresh fruit on hand for themselves.

In his earliest bid to draw people into Jeffersontown on a permanent basis, Sprowl created “Gregg’s First Addition to Jeffersontown” in 1903. This subdivision was not only Jeffersontown’s first, but one of the first in Jefferson County. Sprowl bought up land and auctioned off lots which lined the west side of Watterson Trail south of Maple Road. In June 1908, Sprowl opened up Gregg’s Second Addition and sold the 46 lots in less than two hours’ time. The next subdivision to be created by Sprowl was Livingston Heights, which was in Grand, Snively and Livingston Avenues off Taylorsville Road. As was the case with Gregg’s Addition, people bought lots and then paid to have their own houses constructed. Many of these old homes still exist and add a great deal of character to streets that now tend to sport rather uniform houses of a more modern style. The crown jewel of Sprowl’s labors to encourage suburban growth in Jeffersontown was the creation of Jefferson Heights subdivision, which encompassed 32 acres of land off Taylorsville Road near what is now Tully Elementary School. His vision for this area was to not only provide land for homes that allowed easy access to the Interurban Railroad, which ran along Taylorville Road, but to include a brand new, up-to-date graded school for the local children. Sprowl was part of the Jefferson Heights Land Company, which intended to totally transform Jeffersontown into a more modern and self-sufficient city. Beginning in 1910, the company urged residents to take part in the growth of their town, most especially by supporting and helping to fund the model school they intended to build. The Jefferson Heights Land Company was so firm in its belief regarding the importance of an improved school, that they donated five acres of land expressly for the purpose of creating a school. Their efforts came to fruition when the new Jeffersontown Graded School opened in 1914. Surprisingly, in 1916, the City of Jeffersontown was still discussing the feasibility of annexing Jefferson Heights and Livingston Heights. In the early 1900s, JeffersontownMag.com / SEPTEMBER 2017 / JEFFERSONTOWN MAGAZINE / 45
when someone referred to “Jeffersontown,” he actually meant what we now consider to be the town square. Anything even one step beyond the original 1794 surveyed boundaries of the town was considered as being “near Jeffersontown.” In order to officially have their homes known as part of “Jeffersontown,” these residents had to agree to becoming part of the City of Jeffersontown, while the city itself had to agree to take on the responsibility of providing services to these same people. Many years, and many subdivisions later, Jeffersontown has grown to an amazing degree. Its earliest subdivisions provided a quiet, comfortable place for numerous people who commuted to work in Louisville to settle. Later subdivisions were added in response to the vast amount of jobs provided by the Bluegrass Research and Industrial Park, allowing thousands of people the opportunity to both live and work in Jeffersontown. If a town is its people, then we can thank subdivisions for giving them a place to call home.

HIT THE ROAD NEW APP-BASED DELIVERY SERVICE GAINING MOMENTUM
Writer / Christy Heitger-Ewing
A new app-based, peer-to-peer delivery service is gaining momentum accross the country. Roadie, a less expensive, more convenient way to ship items of all shapes and sizes, is also a fabulous way for folks looking to make a few extra bucks as it’s designed for those who are already headed in a specific direction to pick up and deliver items along their route. “It’s similar to Uber and Lyft, but it moves things rather than people,” says Kelly Bailey, who has worked as a Roadie drive for about a year. “Let’s say you’re taking a road trip to the Ozarks. Just open up your Roadie app, plug in your destination, and find out if there are any gigs available along the way.”
Marc Gorling, founder and CEO of Roadie, got the idea for his app-based shipping company when he was working on a home renovation project and wanted to find an economical and efficient way to ship boxes of tile to his house from a few hours away. “What if someone was already headed in this direction?” he thought. “If they were coming this way anyway and were willing to transport those tiles for a fee, we would both stand to gain.” A customer who has an item to send simply posts a gig online or on their phone. Then Roadie matches them with a driver who is already going that direction. Senders not only save money on shipping but on not having to box or package their items. Plus, they enjoy personalized pick-up and delivery service.

Bailey notes that Roadie is a great way to earn extra cash when you’re going on vacation. It’s also ideal for college students who need extra bucks for books or coffee or retirees who may appreciate making a little extra dough during their post-career travels. “It’s not a full-time job, by any means, but it’s a convenient way to make some extra cash,” says Bailey, noting that thanks to money earned from Roadie, her daughter will graduate from college this year debt-free. “I’m hyped about the service — not just for the company but also for the community. There are many opportunities for residents to make money driving for Roadie.” For those interested in becoming a driver, all it takes is to sign up, create gig alerts and make offers on gigs you can take. Convenient and easy, drivers set their own schedule and earn rewards such as roadside assistance and free food from Waffle House. Cost for shipping items is calculated based on weight of the item and distance traveled. Most local gigs will cost between $8 and $50, while long-distance gigs with oversized items may cost up to $650. Shipping pets is more but Roadie uses people who are certified to deliver animals cross-country and who make frequent stops along the way to feed, exercise and provide extra TLC to their precious cargo. “Anything that’s hard to ship you can move with Roadie — furniture, televisions, bikes, golf clubs,” Bailey says. “We do everything but haul vehicles.” The Roadie app is available for download in the iTunes Store and on Google Play.
