A Message From Code Enforcement Just a friendly reminder from Code Enforcement about a couple of troublesome issues we seem to encounter on a regular basis. First and worst is high grass. It has been a great growing season for flowers and plants and that includes grass and weeds. It seems to be the first thing you notice when driving or walking by a property so be a good neighbor and keep your grass under 10 inches tall. Second on the list would be vehicles. You must park on a hard surface and not in the yard. Also, the vehicle, unless stored within a structure, has to operate, be street worthy, and currently licensed. Lastly, if you have unwanted items in the yard, you must properly dispose of those items. If it is something you are interested in keeping, you must neatly stack the item or items off the ground and cover or protect them from the weather. If you have any questions regarding any of the aforementioned items feel free to contact us at Code Enforcement: (502) 267-8333.

HOME AWAY FROM HOME JEFFERSONTOWN SENIOR CITIZENS CENTER IS A FAVORITE GATHERING SPACE FOR LOCAL ELDERS A typical day at the center starts with breakfast provided by donations through Kentucky Harvest, as well as area grocers and restaurants.

Writer / Shannon Siders

On a recent Friday morning, the Jeffersontown Senior Citizens Center was buzzing with excitement. The breakfast crew was clearing out to participate in activities, “I love walking in the cafeteria in the and the fun had just begun. morning, it’s like the breakfast club in there,” says Dawn Rountree, special events Staff said the center is often mistaken for a coordinator and guest liaison. “They’re the residential facility, but is actually a daytime most inspiring group of seniors you’ll ever center for social adults 55 years of age and meet, and they’re just having the best time older. Located at 10631 Watterson Trail, in there. They’re a great bunch of people and near the Jeffersontown Library, the center is seeing them starts my day off right.” open weekdays from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. Depending on the day, various activities are About 750 seniors are members of the scheduled from 9 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. Each center, with around 200 visiting the center day offers an exercise option including each day. Members pay a nominal yearly aerobics, chair yoga, Tai Chi and Zumba. fee that provides them access to the center Other organized activities include bunco, during operating hours and the opportunity pinochle, needle-crafts, mahjong, euchre, to partake in other fun events. bingo and more. “Seniors need a place to go to socialize with their peers and to have a good time, so they are not just sitting at home in a chair watching television all day,” says Annette Norris, who became director of the center in 2017 after joining the staff in 2008. “The center helps keep their minds sharp and their bodies healthy.”

“The lunch crowds are getting bigger and bigger,” Rountree says. “Our members really like the lunches.” Lunch includes an entree, bread, side, dessert and drink, and reservations are required in advance to make sure enough is prepared. The center also hosts parties around special events like the Kentucky Derby and holidays like the Fourth of July, Thanksgiving and Christmas. “We hosted a Derby Eve Bash for the first time this year,” Norris says. “The members were so thrilled. Many of them said they hadn’t been to a Derby party in years.” Each party includes door prizes, entertainment and lots of food.

Members can also take advantage of the various game and activity rooms in the center, and many come by to use the treadmills and gym equipment in the exercise rooms.

“So many of our members’ children live out of state, and they may not be able to travel for one reason or another,” Norris adds. “They may not have a holiday meal, so we are happy to offer them one.”

The center also serves lunch for just $4 on Monday, Wednesday and Friday.

Day trips and overnight trips are another big draw for members.

10 / JEFFERSONTOWN MAGAZINE / SEPTEMBER 2018 / JeffersontownMag.com

Ruth Frederick, the first director of the senior center, chaperones a group to Horseshoe Southern Indiana Casino each month. “The casino trip is very popular,” said Norris. “I think some enjoy the buffet more than the gambling, but a lot of them like playing the slot machines.” Other local stops include trips to Derby Dinner Playhouse and Churchill Downs. Volunteer travel coordinator Jean Coomes plans the overnight trips and upcoming offerings include the Canadian Islands, Cape Cod and Martha’s Vineyard, New Orleans and Nova Scotia, Prince Edward Island and New Brunswick. The group also takes an annual trip to Myrtle Beach. “The trips are extremely popular, and Jean tries to plan some great new places to visit each year,” Norris says.

Typically the cost of the trips include all travel fees, some meals and most ticket fees for shows or other entertainment.

lives would be “boring” at best without the center, but many stated the value went much deeper than that.

It’s obvious how much the staff and volunteers care for the members of the center, and the love and appreciation is returned by the members themselves. The center members overwhelmingly said their

Bob McCauley, a Jeffersontown resident and 20-year member of the center whose wife Pat volunteers in the kitchen, says, “My life would be terrible without the center, and I think everyone here has the same sentiment.”

“Older people need people to talk to,” he One of Johnson’s friends at the center adds. “You don’t want to sit at home and not is Dorothy Richardson, a Jeffersontown talk to anybody.” resident and volunteer bingo caller. McCauley noted his involvement in the center allows him to learn something new each day, referencing his friends’ Word of the Day activity.

Richardson, who joined the center before it moved to its current location in 1997, enjoys the friendliness of the other members and the employees.

Willie Henry of Fern Creek joined the center a little over a year ago after some of his friends encouraged him to do so.

“My life would be boring without the senior center,” Richardson says. “I look forward to talking to everybody everyday. I like when you’re missed and people ask where you are. When you’re sick, people send you get well cards.”

“I like going upstairs to the gym, which I find less intimidating than a regular gym,” Henry says. “There’s a lot of interesting people here, and I like talking to them. The staff is so great, and everyone here is very friendly and open.” Angela Johnson first came to the center in March 2017 to take advantage of the AARP Tax-Aide program. The center allows non-members to come in for tax prep and take advantage of the center’s amenities for the day. “I was so impressed with the offerings here,” Johnson says. “I saw all of the opportunities to make myself better, and I felt comfortable here.” After some encouragement from her daughter, Johnson joined the center just a few weeks later and has been coming back nearly everyday since. “I’ve met some wonderful people here who have helped me through difficult times,” says Johnson, a retired school principal. “I found out I’m not the only one with these maladies of old age, and get a lot of great advice and suggestions.” Although she didn’t know any of the members when she joined, Johnson quickly formed friendships and created a second family. “The staff is just outstanding,” Johnson says. “I feel like this is my home away from home.” Her daughter also appreciates the center.

While enjoying lunch with her friends, Richardson says that as a member she was, “joyful inside and not depressed” because she had people to interact with. Many of the members stay in touch throughout the day and on the weekends, by talking on the phone, going to dinner or partaking in other activities. Norris noted that doctors will often recommend the center to patients who are experiencing depression or loneliness, especially after the loss of a spouse, as well as to patients who have finished physical therapy to use the exercise equipment to aid further rehab. Along with outside volunteers, some of the members volunteer their own time to assist with programming, helping the center’s food service coordinator Danita Hayes, and other center needs. “I love the volunteers, they have taught me a lot and given me a great perspective on how much they give of themselves,” says Operations Manager Julie Geurin. “I look at volunteering completely different now.” The center also has many volunteer drivers who assist facility driver George Brangers in picking up donations and transporting members to and from area attractions. Jeffersontown Mayor Bill Dieruf has been a large supporter of the center and has aided in its growth.

has made it a more inviting atmosphere,” Norris says. “Our employees and members really appreciate all he has done.” With Dieruf’s support, the center underwent renovations to the restrooms, dining room and ballroom. He even picked out the blinds for the ballroom and added three large screen televisions that are used for video aerobics, during the parties and more. The center has been in talks to expand to evening hours at some point but nothing has been finalized yet. “People are working at an older age now, not necessarily by choice but by need,” Norris says. “They can’t come in during the day, so we’ve talked about having some events and classes in the evening.” With members ranging in age from 55 to 98, the center offers a diverse group of people with various backgrounds and interests. There’s truly something for everyone. “We’re a hidden treasure, many people in the community don’t know about us,” says Norris, who also noted the importance of spending time with elderly family members. “Listen to their stories, they have so many life experiences to talk about,” she says. “Some good and some bad, but their experiences may help us in the choices we make in our own lives. What we learn from their shared wisdom may very well be the key to a brighter future for all of us.”

Wall to Wall Transition JCPS Academies of Louisville Offer Real-World Learning Experiences JCPS began implementing The Academies of Louisville. The Academies of Louisville prepare, inspire and empower students by offering meaningful and relevant learning experiences that directly relate to our world today. The academies consist of small learning communities catered towards specific industries that are relevant to our communities and connect to our students. Dr. Polio, JCPS’s Superintendent, would love for the academies to be integrated in as many high schools in JCPS as possible.

field trips students take throughout school, but it is focused on the industry of their career preference - whether that’s touring a healthcare facility and observing nurses, visiting an Iron yard and interviewing employees or attending a studio where graphic design is being completed.

“Our superintendent is fully vested and supportive of the Academies,” says Christy Those were the days. And those days have Rogers, The Director of College and since changed. The school system doesn’t Career Services of The Academies. “He has work like that anymore. Especially Jefferson done a great job speaking throughout the County Public Schools.

The what every student needs to be successful. Academies consists of four phases over Furthermore, schools are constantly trying a four-year time frame.

One Placement classes offered, dual credit of the goals hoping to be achieved by the opportunities, magnet programs career end of Phase 1, is for every student to go paths. The list goes on and on. on an industry field trip. This is similar to

The second phase consists of the students selecting their career pathways and enrolling in classes that are catered towards that career by offering industry professionals to speak in the class and businesses to partner within the school. The goal is to have a full-blown academy, “wall-to-wall” impacting all students within the walls of the school.

At 2:20 the bell rings and the wooden doors fly open with students gushing out, fleeing to their friends in the other classes, giving them the heads up of the pop quiz and trying to get the last math question completed on the homework assignment so they don’t have to take any books home tonight. They all ride the same school bus home together and they all play for the local baseball team. They’ve been going to the same school since kindergarten and were in all the same classes.

SEPTEMBER 2018

“Presenting students with the opportunity to witness in action career pathways gives them the chance to visualize their future,” Rogers says.

With each Academy, there is a designated Academy coach for each school. Jeffersontown High School welcomed The Academy with open arms and fully embraced the change for their school. Ashley Drager, the Academy Coach for JHS has witnessed firsthand the impact The Academies have had on the school, students and faculty.

Drager grew up in Louisville and graduated from Jeffersontown High School. After college, she was hired at her alma matter to be an English Teacher. When The Academies were being discussed, Drager went to her principal and voiced a desire to become a coach. “Not that I didn’t love teaching or that I didn’t want to teach, but I felt I could make a bigger impact as a coach,” she says. Drager’s days are now spent taking students on industry field trips, collaborating with The Freshman staff and diligently working to recruit business professionals. Not only is there a designated Academy coach within The Freshman Academy, but the academy is housed in a separate wing of the school and has a dedicated principal and counselor that stays with their class all four years of high school. Drager emphasized the importance of this consistency. “The dedicated freshman faculty meets weekly to discuss progress and areas of improvement for students, where intervention might be needed and how to cross plan among the curriculums,” Drager says. “The students also know an adult they can trust.” When students can trust their teachers, a foundation is built that can help students grow. “The difference between being in a Freshmen Academy or being in another school is that the academy has more of a family feel,” says JHS freshman, Laila Randoph. “I have a closer connection to my teachers and I know the students better, so I feel more comfortable overall.” During the first year of The Academies, JCPS added 21 occupational based teachers and 20 new career pathways among the 11 schools. For the upcoming calendar year, they have SEPTEMBER 2018

three additional schools that will start phase 1, and there will be an additional 19 new Academy teaching positions posted, according to Rogers. Based on the data received in the academies, the most popular pathways selected this year have been Health Science, Manufacturing & Engineering and Information Technology. At Jeffersontown, the change in culture has been remarkable. While the freshmen class is most affected currently with The Freshman Academy implemented, other student bodies are seeing the impact as well. “This has allowed me to get more engaged in my classes and really enjoy what I learn,” says senior Luke Stout. “I have been exposed to more than a traditional student gets to because of the academies and project-based learning. Being a part of our business program has really given me an idea of what I want to do with my life. When I came into high school I didn’t really know what I wanted to do but being a part of the

business and FBLA has helped me decide what my next step is after high school.” In addition to adding more career paths, students are now also able to obtain industry certifications prior to graduation. These certifications are paid for by the Commonwealth of Kentucky. The Kentucky Department of Education has also encouraged businesses to offer more

co-ops for seniors. By restructuring the material and curriculum students are learning, we are taking skills from the classroom and making them applicable to the real world. The change wouldn’t be as impactful if it wasn’t for the businesses that partnered with the schools. A goal for the 2017-2018 school year was to have 80 businesses

committed to adopting schools for the academies. They are currently at 62 businesses and still climbing. For Drager, one of her biggest responsibilities as an academy coach is to network with businesses in the community and gain their support. Once a business adopts a school, the business puts together an action plan with three goals in conjunction with the school. This helps facilitate hands-on learning that keeps the students engaged. Ford, Nationwide, Sign-O-Rama, and Lantech are just a few companies out of the 62 who specifically support Jeffersontown. Drager has loved watching the businesses not just partner with the school but truly changing the students’ lives. Jeffersontown now offers opportunities where students can graduate with certifications in their career field of choice and position themselves to be much more successful than before.

“We are building the plane while flying it at the same time,” Rogers says of the biggest obstacles and challenges. “It’s not like we’re implementing one school at a time, no, we are doing 11 this year and three next year. They have to assess each school to understand where the needs are and what gaps there are to ensure they can train and staff the school accordingly. But it’s worth it.”

The students are seeing the rewards, the teachers see the rewards, and soon the community will reap the rewards too. A true “wall-to-wall” effect. The academies are constantly meeting with businesses in the community to partner together in efforts to prepare students with authentic learning.

WW. COUSINS 900 Dupont Road Louisville, KY 502-897-9684 ilovecousins.com

WW. Cousins has been a staple in the Louisville restaurant scene since it was founded by real-life cousins Crawford and Peyton Wells in 1983. “We knew we wanted to build a restaurant somewhere in Louisville,” Crawford says. “The old Steak and Ale had become available as we were developing the concept, so we purchased it and converted it to WW. Cousins.”

Customers have stuck around as well over the 35 years WW. Cousins has been in business. “You’d be surprised how many people tell me they’ve been coming here since the 1980s,” Johnson says. “I hear that a few times a week. We’ve built a great reputation, and I’m proud to be a part of that.” All of the praise has led to several Best of

At first, the restaurant was just known as The Cousin, but the duo changed the name to “WW. Cousins” shortly after opening, putting a more personal touch on the business. Wells operated the restaurant until his retirement in 2015 when he sold WW. Cousins to Marty Johnson and Earl Smith. Johnson had worked for a fast, casual chain of restaurants under the helm of Wells before buying that chain and operating as Nautical Restaurants. With nearly 40 years of restaurant experience under his belt, he was looking for a new opportunity. “We had been trying to get Crawford to sell us WW. Cousins for a while, so we jumped on it when he was ready to retire,” Johnson says. Despite the change in ownership, the restaurant has remained an employee-owned entity, with Johnson serving as president. “We have a lot of long-term employees who have been at the restaurant for 10 to 20 years,” Johnson says. “We’re an employee owned company and the restaurant’s success goes right back to our employees.” SEPTEMBER 2018

Louisville reader awards from Louisville Magazine, and WW. Cousins’ famous burger was even selected as Kentucky’s Best Hamburger by Food Network Magazine. “Our burgers are by far our most popular item, and I don’t think you can get a better hamburger,” Johnson adds. “We use fresh Angus beef, never frozen. You can get it cooked however you like, and we provide quick service.”

Wells says. “We still use chuck meat, while other hamburger restaurants use different parts of the cow. You order your burger any way you like it cooked and top it with whatever toppings you’d like.” On top of WW. Cousins’ already great prices, they offer free meals for kids on Monday and Tuesday nights with the purchase of an adult entree. Conveniently located at 900 Dupont Road just off Breckenridge Lane, both Johnson and Wells agree the East End location has been one of the biggest keys to their success, aside from the food of course.

All menu items are made from scratch and cooked to order. WW. Cousins has always baked their own buns in-house fresh every day, using a recipe originally provided by Plehn’s Bakery in St. Matthews that has evolved over time. They also bake an assortment of cookies and pies daily onsite for dessert.

There are endless ways to customize their famous burgers, thanks to the forty-item toppings bar. Featuring an array of delicious sauces and condiments and various types of onions, pickles, lettuce, relish and more, the toppings bar is one of the things that has kept customers coming back all these years.

Whatever you order, you’re sure to come hungry and leave satisfied. WW. Cousins also has a nice selection of soft drinks, handdipped milkshakes and beer.

“We have a lot of really unique toppings and have something for even the pickiest

WW. Cousins also offers several seafood choices and chicken and even has a glutenfree bun option. If you’d prefer no bun they can serve your burger that way as well.

Restaurants come and go, but WW. Cousins has enjoyed great success at their East End location. “We are consistent with our core product,”

“It’s a great location, there’s no doubt,” Johnson says. “We end up getting a lot of customers from surrounding counties who are in town visiting one of the hospitals by us, and we also have a lot of locals.” WW.

MARION CARRITHERS TALKS VOLUNTEERISM & GIVING BACK Writer / Shannon Siders

Volunteers are the lifeblood of many organizations. They often work behind the scenes without much recognition but are constantly seeking out ways to support the causes and people most important to them. Marion Carrithers is one such volunteer. The Memphis, Tennessee, native moved to Louisville nearly 30 years ago and has made giving back one of her top priorities. Last April, Carrithers was honored with the 2018 Volunteer of the Year award by the Jeffersontown Chamber of Commerce during their annual BOOM (Best of our Members) Awards.

For Carrithers, volunteering is a deeply personal experience that she traces back to the lessons her mother and father, Benny and Fay Ferrell, taught her.

with momma and daddy and have come to understand them more in dad’s death. I want to carry on his legacy.”

Benny worked for the same company for 33 years, working his way up from a clerk to the third highest position. No matter what role he was in, he always showed the same respect to employees across every level in The Ferrells were Carrithers’ “bonus parents,” the company. who she began to live with during college. After he retired, it seemed he was busier “I have a great relationship with my than ever lending a helping hand to friends biological parents, and I was lucky to and neighbors. get another set later in life,” Carrithers says. “I started learning these lessons of “He would run his truck up and down the volunteering and giving back when I lived driveway all day long, taking supplies to “My parents were such great examples and lessons about volunteering and being a servant came from them,” Carrithers says.

neighbors, digging post holes for people who didn’t even know him, using our oil pit to change oil,” Carrithers says. “He was so behind the scenes. It was not for glory, it was not for attention.” His spirit of volunteerism and giving back stemmed from his idea that everybody had a skill set and you’re not supposed to keep it to yourself. “That’s what volunteers do, they’re just lending their skill set to fill in a gap,” Carrithers says. Benny’s death in January 2016 had a huge impact on Carrithers, who dedicates her own work to remembering his legacy.

humbled my dad’s legacy makes a difference and my attempt to carry his legacy makes a difference. Mom is 86 years old, and when I told her about the award she said, ‘Well good, you should be doing something!’ It was no big deal in my household.” Since moving to Louisville in 1989, Carrithers has found dozens of ways to put her skills to use and honor her dad’s legacy. As fate would have it, she met her future husband, Scott, shortly after moving to the area while he was volunteering at Southeast Christian Church. The couple has remained deeply involved with the church, and volunteer their time there each week.

“Through my volunteering at Cafe 920 at church, I have met one of my dearest friends “My dad never focused on himself, even when who also volunteers there,” Carrithers says. “Serving at church is important to both he was dying of pancreatic cancer,” she says. of us, and we share the same value system “It was all about focusing on other people, because church is a priority.” and he was much happier because of that.” Carrithers was deeply humbled to receive the Volunteer of the Year award, in part because of the lessons she learned from her parents. “This is what was expected of us, to not keep the focus on ourselves but to share the focus with others,” she says. “I’m just

“Volunteers bring great value to organizations and one of the biggest issues organizers have are getting things done with a small unpaid or low paid staff,” Carrithers says. “When you’re a volunteer, you’re a blessing for those you show up for.”

Carrithers lives in the Highlands but has been an active member of the Jeffersontown Chamber on and off for more than 20 years. She currently works for Echelon Advisors out of Texas, specializing in captive insurance for risk management and is a member of the Of course, not all volunteering and service has a religious tie, and Carrithers has used her chamber’s Navigator Committee. talents and skills to benefit several other local During her time with the chamber, she has organizations, including the Jeffersontown also used her skills to make expertly-crafted Chamber of Commerce, Gaslight Festival, silent auction gift baskets for the Business Friends of Eastern Cemetery, Bourbon Expo, served on the board and volunteered Women and Alley Cat Advocates.

her time for nearly every aspect of the Gaslight Festival. During the BOOM Awards, Jaracz Swain of Safety Net, the 2017 Volunteer of the Year who presented Carrithers with her award, said: “Fall brings Gaslight into full swing, and she is a fixture among the dance groups, scout troops and marching bands, helping them find their places for Thursday’s grand parade. On Festival Friday you will see her unassuming shadow, walking for hours up and down the street, work boots and ball cap on, unloading boxes for vendors or laughingly celebrating the successful wrestling of a stubborn canopy. Working the festival welcome center and helping with takedown closes out the busy week. It’s all in a day’s work for her.” Carrithers often wears her dad’s old work boots to Gaslight and other volunteer sites, another way that she feels tied to her dad. When nearly $4,000 worth of equipment

was stolen from Friends of Eastern Cemetery — a completely volunteerrun organization — last year, Carrithers donated some of her dad’s old lawn-care equipment.

Carrithers has put her passion for animal rescue to work by helping community cats who are spayed and neutered through the Alley Cat Advocates program and even has her own rescue cat Mocha at home.

“I passed along dad’s legacy to this organization with some of his tools,” Carrithers says. “I told them, ‘My dad would love what you’re doing, and this is from him.’”

Through the Nextdoor app, Carrithers found out about the Jefferson County Reforestation Project and volunteers her truck to help transport the threes. She even

“You can hole up in your house if you want to or you can go out and help,” Carrithers says. “If you’re having a bad day or are in a bad mood, go help someone else. It is way too easy to stay in your own little cocoon, but there is always work to be done and somebody out there to help.”

Carrithers encourages people to reach out to organizations they’re interested in and ask if they need help. If something doesn’t work out, you can find a different project to support. The best experiences will be those tied to your skill set and interests, so find something that suits you.

Volunteering for a new organization can sometimes feel intimidating, but

“Try something out that you’re okay with, “You go home worn out but happy and with whatever arena that is,” Carrithers says. “You a smile on your face,” she says.

And while volunteering is not always glamorous and can come with some long hours, Carrithers looks at the bright side.

CHILL OUT THE CRYO CLUB LEAVES CUSTOMERS FULLY REJUVENATED Dane, a former University of Louisville football player, had never heard of Nearly 40 years after whole-body cryotherapy before Ross brought up the cryotherapy was first developed in Japan, idea but had long wanted to enter the health the cold therapy treatment has finally made field to help others in his native Louisville. its way to Louisville.

Writer / Shannon Siders

Local chiropractor Ross Kowzan first heard about cryotherapy on a podcast last November and recognized an opportunity to introduce the service to Louisville. He told his wife Sara, a speech pathologist, about the idea, and the duo teamed up with their next-door neighbors Dane and Iris Mattingly to bring the idea to life. They registered the business by the end of the year and quickly went to work putting all of the pieces in place. “We all have our own strengths that make for a perfect partnership,” Ross says.

Iris, who works at a marketing company and owns a photography business, handles most of the marketing of the business while Sara, who has a business degree, manages the finances. Ross is the go-to on healthrelated matters, but it’s all hands on deck when it comes to day-to-day operations of the facility. The group’s connections with the former NFL players who own the Baptist Health Performance Training facility in the East End, and the dozens of potential clients who visit each day, made the building a logical place SEPTEMBER 2018

for The Cryo Club to make its debut. David Koonce, a Family Nurse Practitioner, had opened Personal Fitness & Rehabilitation inside the facility just a month before and let The Cryo Club house their cryotherapy chamber in one of their rooms. “We live in the area, and this location is the perfect match for us,” Dane says. “We wouldn’t want to be anywhere else.” Some of The Cryo Club’s first clients were runners training for the Kentucky Derby Marathon and Mini Marathon that took place at the end of April. Runners are often plagued with aches and pains due to their strenuous training schedules, and cryotherapy proved to be a much-needed relief. “I was anxious to see the results myself because we had done so much research into cryotherapy at that point,” Sara says. “I’ve been thoroughly impressed by the amount of people who do see immediate results.”

The timing could not have been better. The Cryo Club’s Facebook page was soon adorned with reviews from happy customers who successfully overcame injuries and completed the race with the help of cryotherapy. Reduced pain, decreased inflammation, shortened athletic recovery time and weight loss are some of the advertised benefits of cryotherapy, and proponents of the treatment say its benefits far outweigh that of a traditional ice bath. They say the treatment is also far less painful than an ice bath and more like walking outside in the snow wearing minimal clothing.

populations and people with immune conditions are great candidates for the treatment, which can also help with brain fog and clearing certain skin conditions related to psoriasis and eczema. “You have to be at least 12 years of age with parent consent, but we get all kinds of people dealing with different issues who benefit from cryotherapy treatment,” Iris says.

Of course hearing about a cryotherapy treatment is one thing and actually experiencing it is another, so on a recent Wednesday morning, I went to The Cryo Club for my first-ever cryotherapy appointment. The weather forecast was “I was afraid it was going to be an intolerable calling for another sunny, 90-plus degree day, so the thought of hanging out in subcold, but it was totally tolerable for such a zero temperatures for a few minutes was short amount of time,” Sara says. “You get more than appealing. out feeling amazing and refreshed.” The benefits can be enjoyed by a wide range of people, not just elite athletes or those who do strenuous workouts.

Cryotherapy is most effective when the cold air can touch as much bare skin as possible, so clients go in wearing just their undergarments (women should refrain from wearing a bra with metal clasps) and are provided with a pair of socks, slippers, and gloves. Clients can do a cryotherapy session immediately following a workout, but the skin and clothing worn in the chamber must be dry for safety purposes.

Clients can experience benefits from cryotherapy by doing a session just once a week, all the way up to daily sessions, depending on the severity of their pain levels.

Ross showed me how to enter the chamber and secure the door, then left me in the room to prepare. Once I had entered the chamber, I pressed a button to alert Ross that I was ready for him to come back in the room and start the treatment. He first used a lift to raise me up in the machine so my head and neck were sticking out the top.

“Clients who have a chronic issue typically visit more in a shorter time frame,” Ross says. “Everybody is a little bit different, and some clients are just doing it for recovery purposes.” The Cryo Club offers a special rate of $40 for first-time customers interested in trying out cryotherapy and give a 25 percent discount to active military, veterans and first responders. If you try it out and are hooked, they offer memberships for unlimited monthly visits (maximum one treatment per day). The owners plan to expand The Cryo Club in the future by adding more chambers and possibly additional locations. They already work with Louisville City FC, a professional soccer club, to provide treatment for the players and hope to create other local partnerships. “We wanted to start The Cryo Club to help people, and we also want to give back to the community through different nonprofits,” Iris says. “That’s what we’re hoping to do as we continue to grow.” Going to Dallas last spring to get certified also gave them something to look forward to in terms of what demand for cryotherapy may look like as the treatment gains popularity in Louisville. “We’re the first cryotherapy center in Louisville, and it was huge for us to start the market here,” Iris says. “It was cool to see their facility in Dallas and envision what ours could eventually look like.” For more information on The Cryo Club or to book an appointment, visit thecryoclub.com.

COMMUNITY DONATES RETIRED FLAGS TO AMERICAN LEGION POST 244 FLAG BOX Writer / Julie Engelhardt

If you’ve ever had the opportunity to go inside of or just drive by the American Legion G.I. Joe Post 244 in Jeffersontown, then you’ve been in the presence of a truly historical site. The original building was constructed in the 1940s and dedicated in 1949. The first structure was rather rough, with dirtpacked floors, a wood-burning stove and an outhouse, remaining that way until about 1956. The idea to designate it as a ‘G.I. Joe’ post, which stands for “Government Issue Joe,” came from veterans returning from World War II. It depicted the typical G.I. Joe as created by American editorial cartoonist Bill Mauldin in his popular drawings from that era. Though the Post’s membership was rather small for some time, it began to increase in the 1960s as Jeffersontown began to grow in its own right. It is currently the only service organization in Jeffersontown.

The American Legion organization will celebrate its 100th anniversary next year in 2019. It was originally chartered by Congress as a patriotic veterans’ organization, focusing on service to veterans. Today, membership is more than two million in more than 13,000 posts worldwide. One proud member of Post 244 is John Wright. Wright, a former Marine, has been a Certified Service Officer on the Executive Board for the past 23 years. This position keeps him extremely busy, working with veterans and their families and to actively assist local youth at churches, schools and with the Boy Scouts of America. Wright explains that members often attend Eagle Scout ceremonies to present them with the American Legion medal for attaining this important rank. They also train scouts to perform in color guard units where they participate in flag ceremonies during Memorial Day or Veteran’s Day programs. SEPTEMBER 2018

Earlier this year, Wright’s involvement with the Boy Scouts presented him with the opportunity to work with one young man, Eagle Scout candidate Parker Robinson. Eagle Scout candidates are required to complete a project that will in some way benefit their community. Robinson chose to install a new flag retirement drop box at the Post. Wright explains that this is something that was greatly needed at their location. “Our post does one of the largest flag retirement ceremonies in the world,” Wright says. “We retire tens of thousands of flags on June 14, Flag Day. We probably retired anywhere from 30 to 32,000 flags this past Flag Day.” Initially, people had been dropping off their old and tattered American flags daily at the post, in bags or boxes, by the front door. With the new drop box, the community is able to properly deposit them and then Wright or other members will gather

them. The receptacle is just a little smaller than a mailbox, equipped with two doors: one where the flags can be deposited and a bottom area that unlocks with a key to retrieve the items. With several hundred flags being collected each week, it’s impossible for them to be kept at the Legion Post. Once gathered, the flags are taken to one member’s farm away from town. They are stored in his barns until the next year when plans are made for the upcoming flag retirement ceremony. Three or four days before the event, the old flags are piled on wooden pallets and soaked in a flammable material for several days. The actual ceremony beings at dusk, with the flags being lit on fire, and Wright says they burn through the night, with flames reaching 40 to 50 feet in height. He says that the ceremony is huge, with people coming with their campers and tents to watch the proceedings and staying through the night as the flags continue to burn. Robinson began his career in scouting at the age of six as a Tiger Scout with Cub Scout Pack 711. He diligently worked his way up through Cub Scouts, and then he crossed over to Troop 56 which is chartered through the Fern Creek United Methodist Church. Throughout his scouting career, Robinson was required to meet certain goals and earn a variety of merit badges in order to advance in rank. In order to reach the rank of Eagle, Scouts must have earned at least 21 merit badges, serve in a leadership capacity while in the troop and plan and prepare a project that will in some way benefit their community. After considering certain projects, he landed on the idea of installing a flag retirement box. “Scouts do a lot of flag retirements, but I didn’t really know where we got the flags,” Robinson explains. “I’d heard that people would bring them to the Posts, but I wasn’t exactly sure. I started looking online and found that other

because people dropped off flags there all of the time.”

Robinson says that he originally wanted to install the box at Veteran’s Park in Jeffersontown, but that idea was shelved because of construction taking place. “So, we got in touch with the American Legion and they suggested we put the box at their post

The process to complete an Eagle project involves several steps, says Robinson’s Scout Master, Huston Brown. “The usually have the idea for their project or know of a need somewhere in the community, Brown explains. “It’s their job to

I am so satisfied with chiropractic care, and what it has done for my health and fitness, that I am planning to pursue a doctorate of chiropractic after my career as a national team water polo player.

follow up with the beneficiary, which in this case was the American Legion. They then have to write up a proposal using a packet that’s available to them and then they seek approval from the council to move ahead on the project.” Brown is very impressed by Robinson’s worth ethic and pleased that he has been able to become an Eagle Scout. “He’s very independent as well as very analytical, which I’m sure he gets from his dad. He’s also a very thoughtful young man, helping out as much as he can,” he says. One aspect of completing an Eagle project is to enlist the help of volunteers. Robinson worked with his father, Tim, in the planning process, and his step-mother Linda who was instrumental in designing artwork for the box. At times scouts will utilize other boys from their troop to help, but Robinson says that since the project was on a smaller scale he didn’t need a great deal of assistance as he would have on a larger project.

“We first cut up the asphalt and we poured a new concrete pad,” he says. “That had to cure, and once that was complete, we drilled into the new pad and put the box in and secured it. And then we decorated the box with decals and instructions and the flag code that tells how the flag has to be retired.” The new box was installed in May 2018, ready to take on deposits for the Flag Day retirement ceremony.

Choosing an senior living facility for a loved one can be one of the toughest decisions a family has to make, and the caring and knowledgeable staff at Morning Pointe Senior Living is here to help. Celebrating its one-year anniversary in Louisville, The Lantern at Morning Pointe Alzheimer’s Center of Excellence provides unique care for individuals living with Alzheimer’s or other forms of memory loss disorders. “We personalize our program to fit the person as an individual, it’s not a

one size fits all approach,” says Sylvia Rhodes, Executive Director of the Alzheimer’s memory care community. “This personalization allows us to meet the individual’s needs overall: physically, emotionally, psychologically and spiritually.” Rhodes, who has a degree in social work and more than 20 years of experience in the social service field, joined Morning Pointe after interacting with the organization as a client case manager. “The experience of being a customer to

Morning Pointe before I started working here let me see who they really were and how passionate and family-oriented they are about serving the residents within their community,” she says. Rhodes was impressed with the level of care and services provided by Morning Pointe and appreciated the home-like environment provided to residents. “With Morning Pointe, what you see is what you get,” Rhodes says. “We are a loving community with caring staff and associates, a happy residential family.”

The Meaningful Day program offered at The Lantern focuses on the residents’ interests and life experiences, incorporating activities that promote overall wellness. Residents can participate in brain games that promote continued cognitive growth, gentle exercise, art and music programs and more. The Lantern staff is trained on The SimpleC Companion™ and Community Connect, a cutting-edge technology that provides a variety of programs catered to each individual. The SimpleC Companion consists of rich visual cues, including family photographs and images of places and topics that are meaningful to the resident. The personalized media fosters positive memories, creates a sense of belonging and stimulates action to engage in healthy daily routines. The program can also play audio such as preferred musical pieces and personalized messages recorded by family members. Activity boxes and memory boxes are another way for families to contribute items that have a positive connection to the resident. The activity boxes serve as great conversation starters to assist in getting to know residents, and can also be a helpful tool when a resident becomes anxious or agitated. Families are encouraged to create a memory box for their loved one that helps assist residents in finding and locating their apartment. The box adorns the entrance to their residence, along with the apartment number and the resident’s name and can help others get to know them. “We want something that personalizes the memory box and helps the individual as

they go back to their room and see their memories,” Rhodes says. The staff strives to provide a respectful, comfortable environment for all residents, which starts with knocking on a resident’s door before entering their apartment and asking, “May I help you with, …” This approach allows residents to be more in control of their decisions, adding more security and balance to their day-to-day. Aligning with their mission to promote overall wellness for their residents, Morning Pointe has a well-rounded, highly-trained staff who truly care about the residents they are serving. A nurse is on the property 24 hours a day, seven days a week, and a medical director, nurse practitioners and resident assistants are on the care team as well. The resident assistants, who are certified nursing assistants (CNAs), help residents get ready in the morning, prompting them to brush their teeth and get dressed for the day so they can make their way to breakfast. These cues promote healthy habits, while still allowing residents to feel

in control of their day. Morning Pointe serves three meals a day to residents, providing healthy and delicious choices. “We do dining with dignity,” Rhodes says. “The residents have a menu and the resident assistants take their order for every meal.” Morning Pointe can also provide laundry services and offers activities throughout the day to keep residents engaged. The center offers two outings a week, which may include a scenic drive or visiting a restaurant for lunch. “We also have a family event that takes place one evening a month,” says Rhodes, noting that the entire front line staff attends those events so they can get to know the families of the residents they serve. “Meeting the needs of the family is so important, and we want to make sure the family is comfortable and they can trust us,” Rhodes adds. “We want this to feel like one big family because we are.” Morning Pointe is also undergoing a big renovation of a wing in their Personal Care Community, which includes hardwood floors, kitchenettes, a new bistro dining options and an ice cream parlor. They are accepting deposits now. Morning Pointe Louisville is conveniently located at 4711 S Hurstbourne Parkway. For more information, or to schedule a tour of their facilities, call 502-212-5199.

A BELOVED PHYSICIAN

Dr. J. A. Bishop Took Care of J-Town Residents For Nearly 40 Years Writer / Beth Wilder, Director Jeffersontown Historical Museum

June 6, 1974, was a sad day for the residents of Jeffersontown. After 39 years of faithful and caring service, Dr. J.A. Bishop was retiring from his medical practice. The VoiceJeffersonian newspaper article announcing his retirement called him the “city’s ‘family doctor’,” and from all accounts, that designation appears to have been quite accurate – countless Jeffersontown residents still remember fondly the doctor who tended them when they were younger. Dr. John Auldin Bishop, Sr. earned his medical degree in 1933 at the University of Louisville and completed his internship at Covington, Louisville City Hospital and St. Joseph’s Infirmary. He first visited Jeffersontown in 1934, and he “immediately felt at home in the ‘pastoral atmosphere’ as he had grown up in a small town.” At that time, Jeffersontown had a population of 850, and Dr. Bishop felt it was the ideal place to begin his medical practice, especially with the city of Louisville and all its medical facilities within reach.

He and his wife, Thelma, moved to Jeffersontown on July 1, 1935, and rented a six-room white frame house at 354 Market Street (now 10407 Taylorsville Road), which served as both office and residence. Thelma acted as his nurse, although she herself was trained in pharmaceutical work and was employed at Oatey’s Drug Store on the town square. Dr. Bishop stayed extremely busy in the 1940s, as he was the only doctor in town. In 1941, with the outbreak of World War II, the government procurement board asked him to remain in the area to care for the civilian population in the county from Eastwood to Highview, so for eight years, he alone filled the medical needs of Jeffersontown and the surrounding areas. At the end of the war, Dr. Bishop turned his attention back to his Jeffersontown practice.

Dr. Bishop took his work seriously, putting in more than 15 hours a day. A testament to just how busy Dr. Bishop had become is found in a Jeffersonian newspaper ad he took out to announce that “after October 1, 1952 patients will be seen by appointment only.” Dr. C. Kenneth Peters, Bishop’s partner for 11 years, stated that Dr. Bishop was “most unselfish” and that “his primary concern was the sick patient.” Up until a few years before his retirement, Dr. Bishop was known to see a patient at “literally any hour of the day.” In fact, Bishop’s son, John Jr., related the fact that the front porch of their home on College Drive had a chaise lounge on it that was used for triage, in case of medical emergencies in Jeffersontown. At that time, there were no ambulances, so Dr. Bishop would stabilize the patient and call the county police to come in their station wagon and transport the patient to a hospital in Louisville (likely St. Joseph’s).

Dr. Peters also noted that Dr. Bishop was an outstanding diagnostician and that he “had a constant desire to pursue his medical profession to keep up with the modern times.” Part of that included erecting a “modern” building for his practice in 1958. The new structure was to be a one-floor plan containing examining rooms, office space and other facilities, and it would be constructed directly behind the old facility. After the new office was completed, Dr. Bishop donated the old building to the adjacent Jeffersontown

Presbyterian Church, and it was moved to a one-acre tract the church had purchased from Dr. Bishop. Dr. Bishop’s practice grew right along with Jeffersontown’s burgeoning population, but he never left that office site, although the building was expanded in 1967 and more doctors joined him there. Bishop served as county health inspector, and in 1956, he served as president of the Jefferson County chapter of the American Academy of General Practice. In 1968, he became

A description of the man’s character would not be complete without mentioning his vivid imagination and unique gift as a storyteller. the first general practitioner to be elected president of the Jefferson County Medical Association — the highest honor his fellow physicians could bestow upon him. After retiring from his medical practice in 1974, Dr. Bishop continued to work in the medical field, serving as part of the outpatient staff of Veteran’s Hospital. Upon his retirement, Dr. Bishop had devoted 39 years to taking care of the Jeffersontown community, which had risen in that time span from a population of 850 to more than 12,000 individuals. Bishop was involved in more than just medicine, however, he was an active member of the Jeffersontown Community and belonged to the

Jeffersontown Presbyterian Church, Rotary Club and was a member of the Jeffersontown Water Commission. In 1970, he even played the part of the gossipy undertaker in the Mansfield Players’ production of “Our Town.” As his associate, Dr. Peters, once remarked, “A description of the man’s character would not be complete without mentioning his vivid imagination and unique gift as a storyteller.” Dr. Bishop’s patients were not happy unless a “good yarn” was included along with his diagnosis. Now Dr. Bishop is the subject of many stories himself, especially when the subject of medicine and favorite doctors arises.
