Louisville native Richard Duncan was named JHS varsity basketball coach in July.
JHS’S NEW BASKETBALL COACH AIMS TO BRING BACK WINNING CULTURE Writer / Shannon Siders
Louisville native Richard Duncan is eager for the start of basketball season, as he fills his new role of varsity boys basketball coach at Jeffersontown High School. Duncan was awarded the head coach job for the Chargers in July, following the departure of Miquel Coleman, who left his post after two years to take the head coach job at Seneca High School. “I’m very excited for this opportunity,” Duncan says. “I’m anxious to get started. I really am. I think it’s going to be a fun year.” A 1995 graduate of Doss High School, Duncan played point guard for the Dragons before continuing his playing career at the collegiate level. He had a stint
at Northeastern Community College, then joined the Blue Raiders of Middle Tennessee State University. At MTSU, located in Murfreesboro, Tenn., Duncan found himself in the school record books for both individual game and season stats. His 12 steals against Eastern Kentucky University in a February 1999 game remain a school record, and put him on a short list of NCAA Division I men’s basketball players with 12 or more steals in a single game. Despite hopes of entering the NBA after college, Duncan instead found himself playing professionally overseas. He spent two years abroad, competing for teams in Holland, Puerto Rico, Austria and Mexico. “Every kids’ dream is to play professional
basketball if you’re a basketball player, so it was a no-brainer for me,” says Duncan on his decision to play abroad. “I jumped at the experience. It was a terrific opportunity for me.” After returning to the states, Duncan began coaching youth sports. He spent eight years as a coach for Louisville Metro Parks and has experience coaching youth in football, soccer and basketball. “These were the troubled youth, the bad of the bad,” he says. “It was a real eye-opening experience. You meet kids who have some real problems. You have a lot of kids dealing with gun violence and gang violence. I was able to help reach some kids and get them involved in sports and give them some chances and opportunities.”
8 / JEFFERSONTOWN MAGAZINE / NOVEMBER 2017 / JeffersontownMag.com
Duncan spent the last four seasons at his alma mater as an assistant coach for Doss. The program enjoyed great success while Duncan was there under head coach Tony Williams, including back-to-back trips to the Sweet 16. Jeffersontown Athletic Director Gary Weiter was excited for the chance to bring Duncan on board. “We hired him because of his experience with JCPS and the success he had with Doss,” Weiter says. “He was there a number of years, and they were regional champs. He knows a little something about success, and hopefully he can bring that to J-Town.” For his part, Duncan has been busy preparing the Chargers with offseason conditioning drills, including lifting weights and track work. “I’m looking forward to getting the guys ready to compete and be able to play the entire game,” Duncan says. “There’s 32 minutes to play, and I want my guys conditioned to be able to play every minute if they have to.”

Duncan also wants to bring a winning tradition back to Jeffersontown boys basketball, a program that has not posted a winning record since the 2011-2012 season. “They only won 10 games last year,” Duncan says. “I want them to know what it’s like to be on a team that’s more successful, but I also want them to grow into strong young men and productive citizens.” Although the team struggled last year, Weiter is confident Duncan can build on the squad to lead them to success. Two seniors and three juniors are due to return to the team’s roster. “We have a decent core of kids, and I think they’ve been going in the right direction with Coach Coleman,” Duncan says. “Last year, we were

runner-up in our district tournament and made it to the regional for the first time in several years. They struggled a little during the year, but by making it to second place in district and then reaching the regional, they got a taste of success.” Jeffersontown last saw a great deal of success in a stretch that started more than a decade ago, from 2005 to 2009. During that period, the team won four district championship titles, two regional championships and a state championship in 2006. Although he hopes the team will succeed on the court, one of Duncan’s main goals for the team goes beyond basketball. “My main goal is to get my senior guys to college,” he says. “I want them to have a plan beyond high school. I want everyone to have a chance to experience college.” Growing up in the west end of Louisville, Duncan cherished the opportunity to break out of his neighborhood and experience new areas. “What college did was allow me to see other parts of the world and broaden my horizons,” Duncan says. “Getting to go out and play college basketball let me get out and see the world.” Duncan has been impressed so far by the community support around the school and looks forward to that carrying into the basketball season. “People in the community and the support around the school has been outstanding,” he says. “Everybody is nice and supportive. You don’t get that everywhere.” Off the court, Duncan stays busy as the proud father to three girls, the youngest of whom is following in her dad’s footsteps as a basketball player. “I’m Mr. Dad away from basketball,” Duncan adds. 10 / JEFFERSONTOWN MAGAZINE / NOVEMBER 2017 / JeffersontownMag.com

SUNSHINE LODGE JEFFERSONTOWN’S FIRST HOME FOR NEGLECTED CHILDREN Writer / Beth Wilder, Director Jeffersontown Historical Museum
It may be hard to imagine now, but until 1946, children from broken homes, displaced through no fault of their own, had no real place to go. If they were lucky, they were temporarily boarded in private homes. Otherwise, they had to be placed in an institution where they were locked up with juvenile delinquents and often subsequently branded with the stigma of being “incorrigibles.”
and sympathetically cared for” until definite arrangements could be made for their keeping. Some might be adopted, while others would be restored to homes that had been corrected.
Pennycook hoped to make this “a model example of the best methods of meeting the problem of these children.” Wholesome food, clean clothes, medical care and entertainment would be provided through the cooperative contribution of various agencies, including the many fraternal and civic organizations in the Surprising as it may seem, Jeffersontown county. Children wrenched from home became the first place in the nation to try life through the faults of their parents out a new project called “Sunshine Lodge,” would now be able to spend this period of which would offer temporary shelter for disruption in a bright, cheery environment displaced children. It was the idea of County where they would be well attended. Welfare Director W.M. Pennycook and County Judge Horace M. Barker. The site chosen for this new endeavor According to this new plan, children under the age of 12 would be sent to Sunshine Lodge for several days to several weeks at the most, where they would be “tenderly
was on 15 acres of land in Jeffersontown, where the Jefferson County Poor Farm had been located from 1857-1920. The $35,000 building used to house the children originally stood where the David
L. Armstrong Recreation Center is now on Bluebird Lane. The building had not been used for years, but was renovated to house up to 30 children and a small staff. Charlie Vettiner and Ray Baer, county recreation directors, were responsible for creating a playground and providing supervised play for the child guests. Sunshine Lodge was officially dedicated on Sunday, June 16, 1946. All local clergy were invited to take part in the ceremonies, and the Jeffersontown High School Band provided the music. Judge Barker delivered the principal address, promising the best care for the children who found themselves temporarily homeless, and that the “delinquent will be separated from the dependent, and the latter brought to Sunshine Lodge with its proper environment, conducive to a process of rehabilitation and proper development.” The first group of 22 children, from infants to 10 years old, arrived at Sunshine Lodge

in September 1946. The staff was headed by Mrs. Rachel Vance, who was like a mother to the children. She had previously served on the staff of the Kentucky Children’s Home, whose superintendent, H.V. Bastin, had general charge of Sunshine Lodge. Mary Elizabeth Holloway served as Nurse for the facility.

Adoption was not actually an issue with
the Lodge, however. While the children were there because of family problems, the main goal of Sunshine Lodge was to provide a safe, happy environment for the children, while other county agencies worked to correct the family problems through offering protective services and counseling.

1960s and 1970s, “These children belong to their families. Regardless of what their mother and dad have done, they belong. And their families come first.” The children were only to remain at Sunshine Lodge until they could either be returned to their parents or placed in foster care “until a parent shapes up and shows promise.” By 1970, Sunshine Lodge was beginning to get more children than it had room for. While it could adequately handle the 30 children it was originally designed to house, the population of the Lodge could sometimes literally double overnight, depending on circumstances. The bedrooms typically held two bunk beds, and there was really no recreational space indoors. The dining room was the largest area inside the building, and it was of course full of tables and chairs. Volunteers were often frustrated that they were limited in how many could even come to entertain the children, due to lack of space.

Still, civic clubs throughout the county did whatever possible to make the children feel happy and comfortable. They donated clothes, toys, equipment and even threw parties for the children, sometimes chartering buses to take the children to larger facilities for their events. By 1970, the Lodge was taking care of children from two days old up to 18 years of age, when they would no longer be considered dependents. The children could stay anywhere from a couple of days to several months. During that time, they were temporarily enrolled in local schools. Mrs. Halbleib noted that “these are not problem children but children with a problem. They’re kids just like any other child. They fight, they argue, they get uptight, they have their good days and their bad ones.” In 1971, the 25th anniversary of Sunshine Lodge on Bluebird Lane was a somewhat sad occasion – County Judge Todd
Hollenbach announced that after the first of the year 1972, the facility would close its doors. By that time, the building needed repairs and was inadequate to house the number of children that could be there at certain times.

Families can decide together how much to spend for the holidays, including gifts, decorations, and food. Here’s how to establish a holiday wish list and spending budget: • Start by determining the total amount of money that you want to budget for gifts. Carefully evaluate how much money your budget will allow for holiday spending. Be honest and be realistic. The idea is not to spend more than you plan for during the holiday season. • Next, make a list of people that you will be buying gifts for this year. • Write down ideas for each person on the gift buying list. Set an amount that you will spend for each person on the list, than estimate the cost of each gift idea. Create an alternative gift idea for each person if your first idea is too expensive.
• Take a radical step to hide your credit cards. For example, put your credit cards in the freezer. • Don’t forget inexpensive gifts, such as themed baskets.

Whether you celebrate Christmas, Chanukah, Kwanzaa, or even the Winter Solstice, you can make a commitment to sharing holiday presents with family and friends, attending your place of worship, and giving to your favorite charity, without worrying about credit card bills or repayment of bank or 401(k) loans.

Owners Corey Sims and Tony Thomas opened Recbar in April, 2016.
DOUBLE THE FUN LOCAL BUSINESS PARTNERS BRING NEW RESTAURANT AND ENTERTAINMENT TO JEFFERSONTOWN Writer / Travis Wagoner
Grab your extra quarters. Vintage video games and classic pinball machines await you — as does tasty pub grub and a beer and bourbon menu to suit any taste. Recbar has you covered on all fronts.
“That alone has made us stand out more as far as the arcade side of things,” Sims says. “It’s become a destination spot for people looking for the biggest variety of classic games to play.”
Not content to succeed at one entertainment and food-and-drink destination, however, You’ll find the concept bar, restaurant and Thomas and Sims opened Mac’s Dough arcade at 10301 Taylorsville Road in the House at 10509 Watterson Trail on Sept. 8 heart of Jeffersontown. Tony Thomas and in the home of the former Johnny V’s Corey Sims, Recbar’s owners and operators, pizzeria. Jimbo Schaeffer, former co-owner debuted their establishment in April 2016. of Johnny V’s, approached Thomas and Sims about taking over the space. They asked “We came in with a certain goal in mind and Schaeffer to stay on as a partner, and he a number on paper and where we expected accepted the invitation. to be for the area,” Sims says. “Since then, we’ve come in well past our five-year “Tony and I were both of the mindset that if projection on our sales and volume, which we’ve got the resources to do it, we’re going has given us the ability to expand the space to expand our little restaurant-bar footprint that we’re in.” as big as we can,” Sims says. “Mac’s was sort of a last-minute decision. It wasn’t in Recbar initially opened in the 5,000-square- the plans to open a new concept within 18 foot building formerly occupied by Ann months of Recbar opening.

in the area. Opening Mac’s was a no-brainer, according to Thomas and Sims. “With pizza and macaroni and cheese as our foundation, it was something that was a little different that nobody else was doing that could hopefully draw a good crowd,” Sims says. He added that he believes they could have more than one Mac’s Dough House. Additionally, Sims and Thomas say that if they open another Recbar, they might expand regionally — possibly in Southern Indiana, Indianapolis or Nashville. The concept of Mac’s Dough House developed because of the Johnny V’s space itself. “We felt like if we can drive bodies from outside of J-Town into J-Town, and Jimbo (Schaeffer) keeps the crowd that he has, it would go really well,” Thomas says. Sims developed the mac and cheese menu. “Everybody kind of jokes that Louisville has a ton of pizza restaurants already, and why
18 / JEFFERSONTOWN MAGAZINE / NOVEMBER 2017 / JeffersontownMag.com
would someone open another one?” he says. “With Johnny V’s, we look at it that we lost a pizza place and replaced it, but we needed that special reason for people to come try it outside of just the pizza.”
He then managed a Starbucks store in Crestwood before working for the mayor’s office in Louisville coordinating special events and marketing. He left that job when the opportunity to open Recbar arose.
Mac and cheese was originally an idea for Recbar. Thomas and Sims had discussed offering a loaded mac menu.
Thomas got his start in the industry at Bearno’s Pizza in Fern Creek. He went on to the former Have A Nice Day Café, where he worked until becoming a manager at Lucky Strike and then general manager at Sports and Social Club, until partnering with Sims to make Recbar a reality.
“It just made perfect sense to slide in over there (Mac’s Dough House) and combine it with pizzas — two things that every kid loves, with an adult twist,” Sims says. Mac’s serves 12 pizzas and 11 mac and cheese options, plus 26 beers on tap, 30 canned beers and an extensive wine list.

After decades in the restaurant-bar industry, Thomas and Sims have no desire to leave it. “It’s the interaction with people,” Sims says. “From the management side, it was always satisfying to have happy tables. From the ownership side, I can’t describe how good it feels to walk up to a table of people that have had a great night. For them to go home and talk about the product and the place you’ve built – it makes you feel like you’ve accomplished something.” Thomas added that he’s been in the industry for so long it’s what he knows how to do. “It’s the people you meet, stories you hear and memories you make,” he says. “They

private event space for large groups, such as corporate events and birthday parties. Additionally, on the first Friday of each month, Recbar debuts at least one new video game or pinball machine. So, what sets the Recbar and Mac’s Dough House concepts apart from others? “Outside of the games that Recbar offers, there’s Main Event, Chuck E. Cheese’s and Dave & Buster’s – concepts that have done extremely well,” Sims says. “At the same time, they’re either expensive or directed just for kids or adults. Recbar has the universal appeal. It’s affordable. Families are welcome. People that are just looking to go out and have a good time at a bar are welcome. We attract a very wide demographic.” “And we offer quality,” Sims adds. “A quality bar selection, good pub food – nothing fancy, just a good meal to have – and good games. That’s what we’ve built it on, and it’s done well.” The mac and cheese theme is the initial concept that intrigues people to visit Mac’s, according to Thomas and Sims.

“When they come in, they see it has a warm, inviting feel to it,” Sims says. “It’s something a little different for this area.” Mac’s has 17 televisions and offers NFL Sunday Ticket.

Thomas and Sims say they’ll have beer specials and do educational events with breweries, such as bringing in reps and having exclusive tappings for members. “We’re excited to be in J-Town,” Thomas says. “We feel like it’s probably two nice restaurants or bars away from being the new bar-hop district where you can come and park and just walk around everywhere. I think the city is working on that, and once everything is set in place, J-Town is going to be where it’s at.”

THE INTERURBAN A LOOK BACK AT JEFFERSONTOWN’S RAILWAY SYSTEM Writer / Beth Wilder, Director Jeffersontown Historical Museum
Throughout the first century of Jeffersontown’s existence, if one wished to go anywhere, it was typically by horse and wagon. Because of this, most people opted to live as near as possible to their place of business, which was fine, if one were a farmer or worked on the town square. For those who needed to find jobs further away from home – even a mile or two – the journey to get there and back was not without its hardship. For that matter, simply interacting with the larger city of Louisville took a good bit of time and was usually saved for a special family outing, to make the trip worth all the effort. Louisville began using horse-drawn streetcars in 1859 and gradually switched to rail cars. In 1889, Louisville’s first electric streetcar opened, and by 1901 the city had completed electrification of all its lines. That worked quite well for local traffic, but it did not help insofar as connections to the rest of Jefferson County were concerned, so Louisville immediately began expanding what would be termed “interurban” service. The first line outside Louisville led to Crestwood. The second interurban line led to Jeffersontown.
In November 1902, directors of the Louisville Railway Company decided to end their policy of keeping close to the city limits and moved instead to expand their lines to the entire county. It was believed that if Louisville carried out its plans for the new interurban railway, no other car system in the United States would compare with the Louisville system. City leaders knew that hundreds of residents would prefer to live further out in the country if they had a reliable mode of transportation to get them to Louisville. They also realized the benefit such transport would be for gardeners, stockmen and dairymen, who could bring their wares to Louisville at least once a day, rather than once every week or two. It would also help with postal service, since many rural people did not receive their mail on a regular basis at that time. The route to Jeffersontown began as an extension of the East Broadway line. It was designed to run through the lovely areas of the countryside and to avoid turn pikes and county roads. In this way, the interurban would naturally be placed directly along many of the farms that would supply goods to the area, and the owners of such property could give permission for the right-of-way, thus preventing any legal problems. It was also believed that passengers would be
much happier with a country view, better time would be made and that there would be less danger of wrecks due to traffic on the roadways. The Louisville Railway Company began at once to work on the Jeffersontown line, which they hoped would open within six months. In reality, it took a year and a half. Surveyors started work almost immediately, and the rights of ways were secured, but winter weather – as usual – slowed things down from the outset. Not to mention the fact that the land was a little bumpier and harder to deal with than they expected. By mid-December 1902, six of the 13 miles to Jeffersontown along Taylorsville Road had already been built, but in June of 1903, a snag halted work. The interurban intended to cross the Southern Railroad tracks, which was more than dangerous to all parties concerned. At that time in history, the Southern Railway crossing at Taylorsville Road was atop a hill, and traffic passing through the town had to mount that hill and cross the railroad tracks. According to the June 1, 1903 edition of the Courier-Journal, “on account of the contour of the ground a view of only a short portion of the track can be obtained from the immediate approaches to the crossing.”
22 / JEFFERSONTOWN MAGAZINE / NOVEMBER 2017 / JeffersontownMag.com
Railroad officials wanted the electric line to be tunneled under their tracks, because they did not want to assume the constant liability of interurban cars crossing the tracks, and they felt the Louisville Railway Company should pay for it. Of course, the Louisville Railway Company felt that Southern Railroad should pay for the tunnel underneath its tracks. Ultimately, it was decided that the expense of building a tunnel beneath the Southern Railroad tracks would be borne equally. On April 29, 1904, at 2:30 p.m., a test run of the newly completed interurban line to Jeffersontown was made by several officials of the Louisville Railway Company. The running was smooth and easy, so on May 2, 1904, at 6:00 a.m., a new interurban car left Jeffersontown, while at the same time a car departed from Fifth and Jefferson in Louisville, the destination of each being the starting point of the other. From that moment on, cars would run regularly every

another. This express department was known as the Beargrass Railway Company. The express line originally ran once a day to and from Jeffersontown, but by 1910, it ran twice daily.
In the summer of 1905, an express service was created by the Louisville Railway Company to give county farmers and markets direct communication with one

the freight cars. So far as regular trips on the interurban were concerned, in 1903 the fare was intended to be less than onethird of the cost of train fare, which was 42 cents. Even so, a 1909 Jeffersonian article mentioned the great need for a reduction in the interurban passenger rates. At that time, passengers were begging to have a 25-cent rate for a round trip, but to no avail. Accidents were not unknown to happen around the interurbans, and safety campaigns were created to provide instructions to the riding public, such as “Wait until the car stops,” “Allow passengers to get off car before you try to get on,” “Always face forward in either getting on or off car,” and “Don’t forget to pay your fare.” By and large, the interurban was a major benefit to people of the county, but at times, it did have its drawbacks as well. Snow would often prevent the cars from being able to run on the tracks, and heavy

The interurban, however, can be credited with a great upsurge in business and growth in Jeffersontown during the early 1900s. Although no traces of the old tracks remain in Jeffersontown, glimpses of them can still be seen in early photos of the town, before Taylorsville Road became a paved thoroughfare. Thanks to the interurban, the route that connected Jeffersontown to Louisville became lined with subdivisions and businesses that brought Jeffersontown into the 20th Century.
rainstorms could also keep cars from going any further. Still, the interurban was the preferred mode of transportation to and from Louisville and surrounding areas for years, until cars became more affordable and the number of interurban passengers began to decline. The line was shut down in 1932, and the Blue Motor Coach bus line replaced the interurban as an alternative means of transportation.

Kathy’s Kitchen Café at Main Street Owner Talks Early Days for Popular J-Town Restaurant Writer / Cameron Aubernon
26 / JEFFERSONTOWN MAGAZINE / NOVEMBER 2017 / JeffersontownMag.com
More than five years ago, owner and general manager Kathy Thomas opened Cafe at Main Street in the heart of Jeffersontown, serving up favorites such as tomato cheddar and butter bean soups, chicken salad, bread pudding, and, of course, her famed Hot Brown to the lunch crowds a few days a week. Though the restaurant may be Thomas’ first in the city, this is not her first rodeo. “I’ve been in the kitchen since I was eight years old,” Thomas says. “My mom had blood clots in both her legs and couldn’t stand up a lot. She would lay in the bed in my brother’s bedroom, which was closest to the kitchen and tell my sister and I what to do. I just opened cans or peeled potatoes or something, set the table, dry the dishes. I just got hooked being in the kitchen.” Thomas says she always loved to experiment in her mother’s kitchen with new ideas, taking inspiration from TV, her favorite restaurants and whatever else crossed her path whenever she baked or cooked. Her adventures in the kitchen continued upon leaving her native St. Louis, Missouri for Mount Washington, Kentucky in 1969. Beginning with a three-decade-long career in kitchen design, which saw her visit and design a few kitchens in Jeffersontown, she came to an abrupt halt against the destructive winds of the Great Recession. Despite the sudden loss of employment — and the money attached to it — Thomas told her husband, Roger Sparrow, that “people are still gonna eat.”

“There was an 18,000 square-foot gift shop in Mount Washington,” Thomas says. “Attached to it, there had been a restaurant. The owner of the gift shop had built three-level decks in the back corner of the gift shop, because he also owned a hardware store. I was in there one day, and I was talking to the manager, and I said, ‘Wouldn’t it be neat to have a little cafe here?’ She just looked at me like I’d grown wings or JeffersontownMag.com / NOVEMBER 2017 / JEFFERSONTOWN MAGAZINE / 27
something. She said that the owner was looking for someone to open a cafe.” Thomas went back to her husband about opening a cafe in the space, arranged a meeting with the owner, and within five weeks, opened her first cafe in time for the gift shop’s Christmas open house. She says the menu for the new venture offered the usual soups, salads and sandwiches to the lunch crowd like every other small cafe she visited in her previous career but also offered special items. The cafe remained in Mount Washington for nearly three years before circumstances prompted Thomas and her husband to look for another way to continue their success. “A lot of my customers said, ‘Had you thought about J-Town?’ When we left [Mount Washington]. We got in a car and headed towards J-Town,” she says. “We came up Billtown Road, and there was this house, and there was a [For Lease or Rent]
sign out front. We called the guy, talked to him a little bit and went and looked at some other places around J-Town and didn’t really see anything that grabbed us as much as the house did.” The future home of Cafe at Main Street was originally built in 1863 by Charles Pound, then used as the medical office and home of Doctor Luther Blankenbaker during the 1880s before eventually becoming the cafe it is now. Following extensive preparation, the new cafe opened to customers in Jeffersontown August 28, 2012. Since then, the cafe has drawn many through its doors, young and old alike. Most of the customers, Thomas says, like to slow down to spend time with their friends and loved ones, getting a chance to relax and catch up over lunch. What’s on the menu at Cafe at Main Street? Hot Browns, for one. Thomas says her Hot Brown is among the 11 best in all of
Kentucky according to the website “Only In Your State,” while her customers note her Hot Brown “is better than the Brown Hotel,” where the namesake dish was first invented. The cafe also serves a lot of chicken salad, as well as tons of tomato cheddar and butter bean soup. The latter has always been a hit with the crowd since the Mount Washington days, when 40 pounds of the soup were made in the cafe’s first week of existence. Bread pudding, Benedictine sandwiches, herbed egg salads, changing specials and homemade breads help round out the menu. All of this is prepared and served solely by Thomas and her husband day in, day out. She says finding help to work in the fast-paced cafe is difficult. Last December, Thomas hired four or five girls to get refills and bus tables during the four hours the cafe is open on weekdays. At the end of one shift, one of the employees wondered how the owners could do so much in one day, let alone all the time. Another worked only nine days, turning up late for six of

them. Thomas says this isn’t exclusive to the restaurant industry — finding people with the right work ethic is difficult. She and her husband have hope as far as the future of their business goes, though. “Hopefully, we’ll be here until we can’t do this anymore,” she says. “We’re both closer to 70 than we’d like to admit, but we just take it each day at a time. We plan on being here as long as we possibly can. We both love what we do and love our customers. I would probably go crazy if I didn’t get up every morning and go do something.” Cafe at Main Street is located at 10317 Watterson Trail in Jeffersontown. The restaurant is open Wednesday through Friday from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m., and Saturday from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Reservations are accepted. Call 502-267-5111 to make your reservation.

team enjoys the opportunity to expand their professional reach, and Cruz is always looking for new ways for the business to help customers with their home needs. “Since we opened, we’ve been trying to learn about all the categories of damages and reconstruction, so we can diversify and keep growing,” Cruz says. “One of the best things about this job is that you don’t just stay in one place. You keep learning, you learn something different every day.” Building a strong rapport and relationship with customers is also important to Cruz and is one of the things that makes 911 Restoration Louisville stand out from the competition.

“Everybody’s after business,” Cruz says. “What makes my job different is the treatment of the customer and the time we spend with them.” The knowledgeable staff helps with every step of the process, helping people reclaim their homes and sense of security. “It’s a true prize to be able to not only give people back the ability to use their homes but also to give them back the foundation for their version of the American Dream,” Cruz says. 911 Restoration Louisville works with customers to develop a strategic plan to ensure the job is done correctly the first time, saving customers both time and money. The staff even helps customers file insurance claims, which can be one of the most frustrating parts of the disaster recovery process. A home disaster of any size is a stressful event for homeowners, and Cruz and his team are there to mitigate that stress as much as possible. Once everyone is on the same page, the team can begin the restoration process. “What the customer needs to know first is that we know what we’re doing,” Cruz says. “When we calm everything down and they know somebody’s got their backs, it makes things a lot easier.” Tragic natural disasters like the hurricanes that hit several states and Caribbean islands over the summer have turned more recent attention to flooding and its devastating effects on homes, but hurricanes are just one of the causes of residential flooding. The 911 Restoration Louisville crew has some tips to help prevent water damage in homes around the Louisville area. These include cleaning out gutters so they don’t overflow, checking pipes for rusting or corrosion, replacing fittings and hoses on
water-based appliances at least once every five years and having a restoration expert inspect your property for any trouble spots that may lead to water damage down the road. Combatting water damage is also a large part of the restoration process following a house fire. For the smallest of fires, the biggest damages done are usually a result of the water used to combat the flame. The 911 Restoration Louisville team extracts the water and the remnants left behind so air quality is not affected in the ensuing months. Mold removal is another facet of 911 Restoration Louisville’s services, and the
staff works hard to clear homes of mold so owners can live and breathe comfortably in their homes again. The mold removal process includes creating a decontamination area so the infestations do not spread and following up with a decontamination spray after everything has been removed to stifle the growth of future microorganisms. Cruz lives just a few miles from Jeffersontown and is looking forward to engaging more with the community.

Soccer is a game of transitions, constantly switching between offense and defense, and the ability to navigate these transitions smoothly is often the difference maker. For Kentucky’s only professional soccer team, Louisville City Football Club (LouCity), there is hope not only for great transitions on the field, but in the field itself. Plans were recently unveiled for a dedicated 10,000 seat soccer stadium as part of a bid for a transition from their current United Soccer League to a Major League Soccer status team. LouCity Director of Media Relations, Jonathan Lintner, explained that Louisville is among many cities submitting bids and that a dedicated stadium is required to bid. For now, the team plays at Louisville Slugger Field and currently has an average attendance of just under 9,000 per game, which would come close to filling the new stadium right away. “Where we are different than these other
teams that are making their bids is that we’re saying we’re going to build a 10,000seat stadium now because that makes us a financially viable soccer team no matter what division we’re in,” Lintner says. “If the demand calls for it or if we are selected for Major League Soccer expansion that’s definitely expandable to 20,000. For us, the stadium is everything.” The stadium means a great deal to the players as well. “It means a lot you know to have a place to call our home,” says midfielder Niall McCabe. “The owners here have put a lot of work into trying to get this built with city officials and stuff like that. They released the renderings and it looks amazing. It gives us that extra boost that we have our own place to call home.” One of the club’s faithful fan groups is affectionately known as the Coopers. A cooper is a barrel maker, and without them iconic beverages like bourbon cannot be
made. Similarly, the Coopers’ role is to facilitate the soccer culture in Louisville and specifically for LouCity. According to Lintner, the Coopers and other fan groups hold tailgating parties, lead the cheers and make sure everyone has a great time at the games. “We have a really dedicated fan base,” Lintner says. “There are about 5,000 people who are going to be there no matter what and you see them make social media accounts just so they can follow LouCity and talk about their LouCity fandom, so it’s turned into something really special. They’ll do their tailgate all day, and about 40 minutes before the game they’ll pack it all up and have this big march or parade into the stadium and into their section. They have drums and smoke and all that sort of stuff. It’s hard to miss them.” The hope is that the new stadium planned for the Butchertown area will include an entire district of hotels, retail and entertainment outlets to help support the stadium and team. The success of the team

lies not only with the stadium, but with the players. As professional athletes, LouCity players are on contract during the season, which stretches from March through October, with playoffs in November. During the offseason, most players go on vacation, visit their hometowns or pursue other interests. For one LouCity player, Louisville and specifically Jeffersontown has become home. For McCabe, life has been full of transition lately — first a move to the United States, then to Louisville, major surgery and now to being a father of a newborn son. Born in Dublin, Ireland, McCabe came to America in the fall of 2010 on a soccer Scholarship at Young Harris College - a small school in rural North Georgia. It was quite an adjustment from living in a city of about 1.8 million to the mountain community of Young Harris, boasting a population of only 1,500 or so residents. Now in his third season with LouCity,

McCabe lives in Jeffersontown with the rest of his teammates. He says the moderatelysized community is a good fit for him. “It was obviously a welcome change after being in New Harris for four years,” McCabe says. “It was nice to get back to civilization if you will and you have everything you need really — stores, shopping malls, so many things to do. I’m a foodie kind of guy, so I’m going to restaurants all the time. It’s not just your chain restaurants, it’s your hole-inthe-wall, independent owners that give the
restaurants that kind of unique style.” Team captain and midfielder Paulo DelPiccolo echoes McCabe’s love of J-town and the entire team’s veracious appetite for local food. “It’s great,” he says. “The whole east side of the city has great restaurants. It’s close enough to downtown, but even if you don’t want to go all the way to downtown or to the Highlands you’re still in a great area with tons of local businesses and restaurants. So we eat out all the time, and we love our area.”

Lintner says that all the team members live in the same complex in Jeffersontown, where they have workout facilities and everything they need. At the end of the 2016 season, McCabe found out that he needed a hip surgery to secure his readiness to play this year. The surgery and intensive rehab meant that he did not have the opportunity to return to Ireland. Instead, he settled in Jeffersontown and awaited the birth of his first child, Luca Emmet McCabe. Juggling the roles of professional soccer player and dad have been a bit of a

transition for McCabe, but the stability he finds in J-town has helped. “He was born in May at the same time as the Tampa game so I stayed behind,” McCabe says. “We got him home on a Monday and I had to leave for a week on Tuesday so he was home for just 24 hours, and I had to go for a week to Pittsburgh so that was pretty difficult at first, just leaving a mom and new son. With soccer I’m lucky I don’t work a ton of hours or stuff like that. I’m gone until like 11 a.m. and then I’m at home hanging
out with him so it’s fun. I’m enjoying it.” After securing the USL’s Eastern Conference title, the team is feeling excited about advancing to the playoffs and the championship game, which is scheduled for the middle of November. “We’re thinking that a championship is possible this year,” Lintner says. “It’s kind of finger’s crossed, but we’ll see.” For those interesting in attending a
game, the club’s schedule can be found at louisvillecityfc.com. “I would just encourage anyone who’s never been to a game to just try one game and they’ll get hooked,” DelPiccolo says. “It’s a blast, and the fans are so much fun and they’re so loud. It’s a great experience, and it’s different from watching any other sport.” “We’ve got a great team on your doorstep,” McCabe adds. “We want all the support we can get, so come out and cheer us on.”

REMEMBERING MOLLY MOLLY JOHNSON FOUNDATION PROVIDES RELIEF FOR FAMILIES WITH SPECIAL NEEDS CHILDREN Writer / Shannon Siders
Robin and JoJo Johnson turned the unimaginable heartache of losing a child into a charitable effort that has helped dozens of families in the Jeffersontown area and beyond. Founded in 2012, the Molly Johnson Foundation was created to make a difference in the lives of special needs children and their families. Robin and JoJo, who live in Fisherville but attend St. Michael Catholic Church in Jeffersontown, wanted to find a way to connect with special needs children while also carrying on the legacy of their daughter. “We started the foundation because we realized there was a need for families with special needs kids to have avenues to go to for help,” JoJo says. “There were large organizations, but sometimes you have to jump through a lot of hoops to get help
from those organizations. We wanted to reach out to people who were struggling with smaller stuff.” Molly was diagnosed with WiedemannRautenstrauch Syndrome at birth in 1996. The rare genetic disorder is a neurological condition found in less than 100 children worldwide. The Johnsons also had a son, Elliott, born with the same condition in 1993, who passed away at just nine months of age. Children with the condition are affected by many different characteristics, including small stature, poor growth and development and a depressed respiratory system. Molly was never able to walk, talk or do many of the normal things children do, but she lived a full and happy life before she passed away in her sleep on November 2, 2007.
Throughout Molly’s life, the family was turned down several times by insurance for medical equipment requests. The needs were not always expensive, but the extra cost put a burden on the family. “We thought people could come to us, we could assign a board member to them, meet with them, look at their background, what their difficulties are” says JoJo on what inspired the start of the foundation. “We can grant that need to make their life a little better.” The Molly Johnson Foundation has provided support for nearly 30 families, totaling more than $250,000, and they have not had to turn down any families locally. In fact, the foundation is often in search of more families to help and turns to therapists, teachers and doctors who can help connect them to families in need.

Many of their projects surround making homes more accessible for families with special needs children. Insurance may pay for a wheelchair for a child, but the family is left on their own to build a wheelchair ramp. JoJo has provided professional services through his company Don Johnson Contracting to help families renovate their bathrooms and homes to make them more wheelchair friendly. “I think we’re at an advantage because being a contractor and the parents of two handicapped children, we know what works in a home, and we can make suggestions,” Robin says. “The child is only going to grow and become bigger, and you have to think about that.” One of the foundation’s largest projects was a complete home makeover for a Jeffersontown family that was ready just in time for Christmas a couple years ago. Many of the services and new furniture were donated for the house, and the foundation helped cover the rest. In addition to home renovations, the foundation has also helped three families get a service dog that can detect seizures, provided a portable feeding pump for an eight-year-old boy and helped with travel costs for families to deal with medical issues out of town. “Sometimes we pay for airfare or lodging when families need to go out of state to see a specialist,” JoJo says. “Their insurance might cover the medical treatment and hospital stay, but we’ve helped with other costs while

they’re out of town, scared to death because of their child. We can help alleviate some of that worry.”
Ellie is now the special education teacher at Tully Elementary, in the classroom where Molly went to school for six years.
The foundation has been an “all hands on deck” effort for the Johnsons, and their daughter Ellie joined the board of directors following her graduation from the University of Kentucky last year. Ellie was just two years older than Molly, and the only life she knew was with her sister.
“She’s walking in the clouds,” says JoJo, who recalled a conversation with Ellie while she was still in school saying she’d be excited to end up at Tully someday. “She’s so energetic, and she’s on the new and cutting edges. She’s so into learning about every one of those kids’ conditions. We’re really proud of her.”
Following Molly’s death, the Johnsons knew they wanted to fill the hole in their family and adopted a daughter, Olivia, who was born nine months to the day after Molly died. The now 9-year-old Olivia also helps participate in events for the foundation, carrying on the legacy of her sister she never got to meet.
that alone helps a lot and is invaluable to us,” Robin says. “We didn’t have any foresight as to how this would play out but it was a great thing. Hopefully we’ll help double the families next year.”
The foundation relies on several signature fundraising events each year, including the Black & Yellow Ball. The sixth annual event will take place Saturday, January 27, at the Marriott East in Jeffersontown. Organizers are hoping to top the $84,000 raised at last The passion Robin and JoJo have for helping year’s event and are aiming for a crowd of 500 attendees. special needs children and their families is palpable and provides a great source of In addition to the ball, runners have comfort for the families they help through represented the Molly Johnson Foundation the foundation. at marathons in 14 states, including the Kentucky Derby Festival Marathon and “Just to meet other families, share stories and know there’s other people out there — Mini Marathon. The foundation also hosts a 5k, golf scramble and other smaller events throughout the year.
WE WANT TO GIVE AWAY WHATEVER WE RAISE BECAUSE IT’S ALL 100 PERCENT TO THE KIDS.
“We want to give away whatever we raise because it’s all 100 percent to the kids,” Robin says. “We raise it, it all goes to the kids. We’d rather have nothing in the account because we’ve given it all away and go out and raise more money.” More information about the Molly Johnson Foundation, including how to purchase tickets for the Black and Yellow Ball, can be found at themollyjohnsonfoundation.org.
