THE ORIGINS OF BLUEGRASS COMMERCE PARK: HOW ONE MAN’S DREAM BECAME A REALITY Writer / Beth Wilder

Mention the name Jeffersontown to people, and the first thing they probably associate with it is the Gaslight Festival. The next thing that would likely spring to mind is the Bluegrass Commerce Park, which happens to be the largest industrial park in the state of Kentucky. It was the first such development of its kind in the United States – a 600-acre industrial center set amidst park-like surroundings. It now comprises over 1,800 acres and houses over 850 businesses with 38,000 employees. The park’s seven units include Bluegrass

Commerce Park, Commonwealth Park, Watterson Trail Industrial Park, Plainview Office Park, Jeffersontown Industrial Park, Holloway Industrial Park, and Blankenbaker Crossings. The park has come a long way from its beginnings over 60 years ago, when it was merely a dream in the mind of Jeffersontown real estate broker, Fred Weber. In the late 1950s, Weber was intimately acquainted with the vast amount of farmland all around Jeffersontown, and he envisioned an industrial development taking the place of sprawling corn and wheat fields lying just north of

Jeffersontown and south of Interstate 64. He spent seven years getting farmers in the area to agree to sell their land, while he worked on finding a buyer who was willing to pay the asking price. At first, Southern Railway showed an interest in purchasing the land to resell, but when the potential users backed down, Weber had to try to find another buyer. The Louisville Area Chamber of Commerce was also interested in having the land developed industrially, and they presented the idea to developer L. LeRoy Highbaugh Jr., who bought the 627 acres in 1964 for an average price of $2,600 per acre. The project had

6 / MIDDLETOWN MAGAZINE / FEBRUARY 2020 / atMiddletown.com

the backing of the Jeffersontown City Council and Mayor Franklin J. Chambers, so the land was annexed and zoned for the development that would be called Bluegrass Research and Industrial Park. To go along with the park, Highbaugh also intended to develop Bluegrass Estates with 450 lots, and Bluegrass Meadows with 350 lots adjoining the park. From its very inception, the industrial park was a fully-planned endeavor – everyone involved wanted everything related to it to be done right, and that included making sure local residents were fine with the creation of an industrial park. Bill Eadie, sales manager of the park, told the Jeffersontown Chamber of Commerce that the firms he was talking with “don’t want Jeffersontown unless the community wants them.” The Jeffersontown Jaycees even conducted a survey of 1 in 3 homes in Jeffersontown, and it showed that the major thing residents wanted to do was encourage industry. Developers and city leaders were under no illusions as to how long it might take to fill the park with businesses – Eadie says that “It will take 10 years to complete the sales and location operation.” The park would exceed everyone’s hopes, however, as within eight years, the park was nearing 100% development.

THE NEW INDUSTRIAL PARK HELPED JEFFERSONTOWN RECEIVE THE DESIGNATION OF AN ALL KENTUCKY CITY IN BOTH 1968 AND 1969, AND IT WAS ALSO A LEADING FACTOR IN ALLOWING JEFFERSONTOWN TO BECOME ELIGIBLE FOR ITS 1969 RISE TO A CITY OF THE 4TH CLASS.

IN CONCERT

Before that could occur, however, basic needs had to be met. These included such things as extending sewer facilities to the area and planning entrances to the park that would ease traffic, yet not interfere with residential areas of Jeffersontown. Contracts were signed almost immediately to begin work on water and sewage hook-ups, but egress to the industrial park involved a little more time and cooperation with local residents. Two entrances were created straightaway – one at Hurstbourne Lane, and the other on the part of Watterson Trail that was then known as “Jeffersontown Road.” Developers atMiddletown.com / FEBRUARY 2020 / MIDDLETOWN MAGAZINE / 7

desperately wished for a road cutting through Merioneth Drive straight back to the park, but residents were adamant that they simply did not want the increased traffic – especially delivery trucks – going through their neighborhood or causing traffic problems at Taylorsville Road so near the railroad overpass. Although the cutthrough was brought up repeatedly over the course of several years, the residents won that battle. The first major company to announce plans to build in the Bluegrass Research and Industrial Park was Celanese Coating Corporation (a large industrial laboratory), followed by Neptune Meter Company (which made water meters and measures). The H.C. Ackerman and Son Company was the first business to move into its facility in the park, along with Steel Builders Inc., Derby Cone Company, Owen Conrad, Jones Plastic and Engineering Corporation, Reco Sales, and Strohmeier Company, Inc.

The park officially held its grand opening Thursday, July 13, 1967 at Bluegrass Parkway and Plantside Drive. Lovely invitations were sent out, bearing the Bluegrass Research and Industrial Park’s three-pronged logo designed to suggest a tuft of bluegrass. An 80-foot high steel version of that logo was to grace the entrance to the park, with the intention of it becoming a landmark in the Louisville area. The new industrial park helped Jeffersontown receive the designation of an All Kentucky City in both 1968 and 1969, and it was also a leading factor in allowing Jeffersontown to become eligible for its 1969 rise to a city of the 4th class. Jeffersontown did not rest on its laurels, however – the city’s leadership throughout the years has continued to maintain extremely high standards for its industrial park, both in making sure that businesses follow strict codes, and that the needs of both residents and business owners are met by providing such services as upkeep, fire protection, and transportation.

The dream Fred Weber had 60 years ago blossomed into a reality that transformed the town and has kept it prosperous. The City of Jeffersontown has led the way in many innovations that have spread nationwide, and it is because of not only visionaries like Fred Weber, but citizens and city officials alike, who strive to guarantee that Jeffersontown remains at the forefront of the times, while retaining its hometown atmosphere and charm.

The Fast and Furious History of Women's Suffrage BY DIANA GRISANTI

STUDENT MATINEE DATES

M - F January 21st - February 7th Tickets are $20 for adults and $15 for kids under 12 Group discounts available Bomhard Theatre - Kentucky Center for the Arts

*GIRL SCOUT & GRANDPARENTS DAY A story of sisterhood and solidarity, Lawbreakers! (a fast and furious history of women's suffrage) educates and entertains. Past and present collide in this funny and poignant world premiere new play by award-winning, Louisville-based playwright Diana Grisanti. Stepsisters Maya and Kiara are high school students who couldn't be more different. During an argument they accidently bonk their heads and awake at The Akron Women's Rights Convention of 1851. Lost in time, they must draw from the wisdom of suffragists, abolitionists, and freedom fighters like Sojourner Truth, Ida B. Wells, and Alice Paul, in order to make it back home. (It's like Bill and Ted meets Sister Sister for the Beyonce Era) StageOne's Lawbreakers! (a fast and furious history of women's suffrage) is the result of a 3-year commission project with local playwright, Diana Grisanti and is created by an all-female artistic team. "The play, while fast and fun, is at its core a meditation on sisterhood. How did the suffrage movement reckon with its own internal rifts? And how do we-continue the march toward justice without reconstructing the same old hierarchies?", says Grisanti.

REMEMBERING CARL OWEN Local Pro Was a Cherished Staple In the Golfing Community Writer / Christy Heitger-Ewing Photography Provided

After 57 years of marriage, Marty Owen knew her husband Carl quite well. For 37 years he worked as a golf professional at Charlie Vettiner Golf Course, where he developed a junior program that was the largest in the metro area. While Marty was certainly aware of Carl’s passion both for golf and for instructing teens in the sport, it wasn’t until he passed away in March 2019 that she learned of the profound impact Carl had on a legion of students through the years. “I knew he loved kids, but I had no idea the influence he had on so many of them,” Marty says.

When Carl died, accolades poured in from all around the golfing community, including Becca Jones, who penned a five-page letter detailing how much her golf mentor meant to her, both on and off the course. “Carl gave me my first job,” Becca says. “He taught me so much about the game of golf. He took me under his wing and treated me like a daughter. Carl taught us all how to laugh. He loved everything about life. I don’t think I ever saw him mad. The jokes he told were always interrupted by the sound of his full belly laugh either before or during the punchline.” She mentions how Carl cared about people with his whole heart, and how that feeling of love was reciprocated by all who met him FEBRUARY 2020

- especially junior golfers, as he recognized the potential in each and every one of them. After Becca was grown and married, she would stop by the golf course to show off her kids and give Carl a hug. “His hugs always made me feel better,” says Becca, who, each time they parted ways, uttered the words, “I love you, pro.” Marty fell in love with Carl nearly six decades ago when they met at a bank where Marty worked as a teller. At the time Carl was working at a distillery and would bring deposits into the bank. He couldn’t work up the nerve to talk to Marty, so he approached one of her coworkers instead.

“He told my friend that he wanted to ask me out, and I said, ‘I don’t know anything about him,’” Marty recalls. But word on the street was that Carl was a good guy, and that proved to be true. He won her over, and on their first date, they went to the movies to see Spartacus. Carl was drafted into the U.S. Army in 1962, and he served two years of active duty and four years in the Army Reserve. Then he returned to the place he called home - the golf course. Carl had a real zest for life, and he shared that vivacity with those around him. As for the young golfers he mentored, he made sure they understood that school and grades come first. Leading by example, he inspired a great work ethic. Some of his junior golfers went on to play collegiate golf on scholarships and won some of Kentucky’s major tournaments. Others became head golf professionals in Kentucky and other states. All became devoted fans of Carl Owen.

Financial Life Planning Centered on You!

“He truly enjoyed what he did with those kids,” Marty says. “That’s where the passion came from. “Through Carl’s eyes, the glass was always half full - never half empty.” And he lit up a room with his megawatt smile. “You literally can’t find a photo where he’s not smiling,” Marty says. Carl’s longtime golfing buddy Larry Jones says he was the perfect golf instructor because he was even-keeled and slow to anger. “He had the patience like no other I’ve ever seen,” Larry says. “I never heard him raise his voice or say a crossword with the kids. He had a way with kids. With the shy ones, he brought out their personalities.”

Carl’s golf students have countless memories of their beloved instructor - many of which revolve around ice cream. Carl was especially partial to peach ice cream and banana splits. “He’d have ice cream three meals a day if he could,” Marty says with a laugh. Carl owned a blue Mustang convertible. As you might imagine, teens gravitated to the cool car, and Carl didn’t mind letting his students drive it. His favorite phrase was, “I’ll buy, you fly,” and off they’d go to Graeter’s, Baskin-Robbins, or Dairy Queen for treats. Six months after Carl purchased the vehicle, one of the kids wanted to put the top down. Something malfunctioned and the front window cracked. The student was scared to death to tell his coach what had happened, but when Carl heard the news, he just patted the teen on the back and said, “That’s alright. That’s what I’ve got insurance for.”

Becca’s brother Tim got married in 2006 when Carl was 67. He had also been one of Carl’s long-time students, and the two had bonded so much that Tim asked Carl to be in his wedding. Initially, Carl declined, thinking he’d look out of place standing beside a bunch of 20-something groomsmen. However, Tim explained how much it would mean to him and Carl agreed.

Carl, a lifelong member of the PGA, was a dynamite golfer. It’s no wonder, as he practiced almost daily. “Carl played golf all winter long,” Larry says. “In fact, the month before he died, the winds were blowing 45 miles per hour. He had just turned 80 and he could hit the ball as far off that tee at 80 as he could at 50.”

Carl organized a men’s golf club called Pro Z, where guys played five days a week. People came from all around to compete, and the club attracted as many as 42 players on any given Thursday. “It was a competitive game, but everybody had so much respect for Carl,” says Larry, who usually played golf with Carl a couple days a week. For 35 years Carl played with three other retired golf pros, Gene Fawbush, Kenny Hall and Gary Feldman. “It’s amazing they kept that group together for so long,” Larry says. “They were the best of friends.” Larry once asked Carl, “If you had a dollar for every person you met through golf, how much money would you have?” Carl smiled and replied, “I’d be a rich man dollar-wise, but honestly I’m already rich with the friendships I’ve made in golf. You

can’t put a price on something like that. Friends are priceless.” During his eulogy, Carl’s son C.J. shared a touching story about his dad. They were golfing one Sunday afternoon when the subject somehow turned to Steve Irwin, the late Crocodile Hunter. Carl asked his son, “Wasn’t that guy your hero?”

C.J. shook his head and replied, “Well, when I was young he was, but dad, you’re my hero now.” Many would agree with C.J.’s assessment. As Becca says about her favorite father-figure golf pro, “Carl was the good in this world. He was caring, compassionate, loving, kind, funny and carefree. If there were more Carls in the world, the world would be a much better place.”

Carrie Cooke Ketterman is a woman of many talents. She sings, acts, paints and owns an online Etsy craft shop. Originally from St. Matthews, Carrie now lives in Corydon, Indiana, with her husband Jeff, where they operate the Old Capitol Tea Room in their 114-year-old home. She performs in two bands, the 1920’s-inspired The Tin Pan Alley Cats and the 1950s-inspired Rosie and the Rockabillies. Carrie and Jeff make public appearances as one of the most iconic couples in television history, Lucille Ball and Desi Arnaz. Carrie is also the author of a new local history book called “Lost Amusement Parks of Kentuckiana” which is part of the popular “Images of America” series produced by Arcadia Publishing. The inspiration for the book was sparked by Carrie’s childhood memories.

“I’ve always been fascinated with amusement parks,” Carrie says. “It started with Coney Island. Every summer my family and I would go to New York, and while my mom would take off to see all of the fantastic art museums and stay in Manhattan, my dad and I would catch the subway and go up to Coney Island. I thought, ‘This is such a cool place.’” Carrie started the project by doing some research on Coney Island and the history behind the park. “The interest I had in Coney Island made me think that I needed to research the amusement parks that were once in my own backyard,” she says. FEBRUARY 2020

The first park to capture Carrie’s interest was Fontaine Ferry Park, a place she’d heard her parents mention from time to time. She was also familiar with the place because her father, an antique collector, had a poster from the park. “If you talk to any old-timers around and mention Fontaine Ferry Park, chances are they will tell you a couple of stories about going there when they were kids,” Carrie says. Another park, Rose Island, first known as Fern Grove, became another point of interest for Carrie.

“Three years ago my mom told us about Rose Island and I began asking her questions,” she says. “It was an amusement park in the 1920s but was taken over by Charlestown State Park. They’d reopened the grounds, allowing you to go in to see what they’d done to preserve the history of the park. She took me and my brother and my aunt there, and we went hiking through Rose Island to see what was left of this vintage amusement park.” Carrie was so intrigued by these parks that she began doing research to learn about them but came up with little to nothing about their history. She began searching through the “Images of America” series to see if anyone had written books on Fontaine Ferry or Rose Island, but again, nothing was available. This was a pivotal moment for Carrie. As she was searching for information, she found a link on the Arcadia Publishing website instructing readers on how to

submit a book proposal. She decided to pitch her idea. “I sent in a proposal saying that someone should write this book, and a couple of weeks later I got an email saying they liked my idea and asked me to write it,” Carrie says. She decided to take the plunge and received a packet from the publisher explaining how their format worked. It took Carrie three years of research and editing before the book was finally published. The book covers five amusement parks which were quite popular in their day: Rose Island, located in Charlestown, Indiana; Glenwood Park, located between New Albany and Jeffersonville, Indiana; and Fontaine Ferry Park, White City and Kiddieland on the Louisville side of the river. The 127-page book is divided into seven chapters, one for each of the five parks, plus an opening chapter titled “Life Along the Ohio” and a closing chapter called “What Remains Today.” Each

ilmmaker and photographer Mike Thompson grew up in a small town in North Carolina, where dreams of making movies and music videos seemed light years away. He now films movies in Louisville, where he recently completed the filming of Blackbird, which he describes as a science fiction love story. “I just love movies and I love telling stories,” Mike says. “Iris and Blackbird are my first two film projects outside of music videos, so I think they’re only a small fraction of the types of stories I hope I can tell one day. I have a pipe dream of somehow being like Howard Hawks and make a movie in every genre, if possible.” Mike spent many years working at various advertising firms creating concepts for commercials and graphic design projects, until he was serendipitously pulled into an ad meeting.

“The creative director pulled me in to help create an idea for this commercial,” Mike says. “They let me come out to the shoot and I received this one-day crash course education, and I guess I caught the bug that way.” A few months later Mike secured a job at a record label where he gained experience as a music video editor. “Once I moved to Louisville I just took the dive and started working on my own projects, mostly in music videos at first, and it’s just kind of grown over time,” Mike says. Blackbird is the second short film Mike and his team have written and directed. The plot involves a husband and wife debating the idea of uploading her consciousness to an artificial intelligence form after she’s severely disabled in a car accident. It’s a dark and cerebral film, indicative of the personal struggles Mike was enduring during the conception phase of the film last year.

FEBRUARY 2020

“I was leaving to go to Sundance with a friend and my wife found out that she was going to have to have surgery, and that cancer might be involved,” Mike says. “I had all of these thoughts going through my head. It’s weird how you can go your whole life without thinking about your mortality or that of those around you - everyone is just there.” Mike adds that he was scared and did his best to stay positive. “The downside to that is there’s nowhere for you to voice your fear or even anger at why something like that has to happen to someone you love, especially the person you love the most,” he says. While sitting in an airport to return home from the festival, Mike began writing. He said it felt good to examine his grief and place his fear and uncertainty into something. Blackbird became his coping mechanism.

“I think everyone started reading the script and assuming it was going to be a thriller like Iris, and were shocked to realize that it’s just this science fiction love story about second chances and facing uncertainty to help the person you love.” Within a month, the film’s crew was in pre-production and his wife’s test results were returned as cancer-free. The film has been competed and he looks forward to the possibility of screening the film at industry festivals.

film all of the projects that I can here or in surrounding areas, and I always employ crew and talent from Louisville or southern Indiana. There’s just a lot of support here for the industry right now.” Mike feels immense gratitude for the support of the Louisville and southern Indiana communities, and says it’s a reward to be part of an industry he loves so much. “I’m kind of like Ringo Starr - I’m just happy to be here,” he says.

Blackbird was born from a myriad of different thoughts and ideas, as well as Mike’s struggles. He is a huge fan of 1970s- and 1980s-era science fiction, and describes Blackbird as a love letter to classic sci-fi films like Solaris, Blade Runner and World On A Wire. A large portion of the film was produced in Louisville. “I love filming in Louisville,” Mike says. “I

Jordan Weiter, reigning Miss Kentucky USA 2019

R e i g n i n g M i s s Ke n t u c ky U SA R e c a ll s U n i q u e Pag e a n t J o u r n e y Writer / Anna Kate Goshko Photographer / Andrew Kung

She’s more than just a pageant winner. In fact, Jordan Weiter, reigning Miss Kentucky USA 2019, never competed in a pageant until January 27, 2019. “I am very competitive and always up for a challenge, and I thought pageantry offered that in a different way for me,” Weiter says. Weiter isn’t your typical beauty queen. For most of her childhood, she focused on playing volleyball, lacrosse and flag football. Currently, she is pursuing a degree in Mechanical Engineering at the University of Kentucky. She is enrolled in the University’s honors program and was admitted into the National Mechanical Engineering Honors Society.

With her focus on sports and academics, Weiter’s parents received quite the surprise when she announced she would be a contestant in the Miss Kentucky USA pageant as her first pageant. “I totally came out of left field with the idea, but my parents have always encouraged me to go after whatever I wanted to accomplish,” Weiter says. So, she traded in her sports equipment and cleats for a chance at the crown in the Miss Kentucky USA pageant. “The pageant was completely different than what I expected,” she says. “I didn’t really do pageant hair and makeup before, so I was surprised that everyone had full hair and makeup at orientation. I was one of the few that wasn’t as made up as the other girls.”

Weiter forged her own path during the pageant. She was one of the few contestants without a collection of coaches advising her on hair, makeup, interview questions, personal training and mental strategy. Typically, pageant contestants bring on coaches to consult them throughout the pageant. “It’s definitely a whirlwind roller coaster, but in the most fun way,” she says. “It’s a once in a lifetime thing.” Weiter says she’s found a new side of her, but still remains the same person on the inside. “I still wear hangout clothes, joggers and t-shirts,” she says. “I love being able to strip down without hair and makeup, but I’ve learned to enjoy the ‘getting ready’ process more.

Jordan and her father, Tony Weiter

Weiter learned much from her experience through the people she met and her fellow contestants. “Pageantry is a mental game,” she says. “It’s so easy to get in your head, but if you don’t let things affect you and stay mentally strong, the competition is so much easier. Have fun with it and enjoy the process.” While pageants are a far cry from her previous experiences, Weiter has always challenged the standards of society. “I want to be a representation that women can be in STEM fields,” Weiter says. “A lot of times we underestimate ourselves as women. We can be engineers and compete in pageants and you don’t have to sacrifice who you are to achieve your dreams. “There are so many more males than females in my engineering classes, but the more people I see coming into freshmen classes, the more women there are.”

“ I wo u ld li ke t o s p e a k t o s c h o o l s a n d ki d s t o g e t my vo i c e o u t t h e r e a b o u t ST E M f i e ld s . ” She has since used her platform to motivate women to enter the STEM field and more male-dominated fields. During her reign as Miss Kentucky USA, she intends to focus on outreach to the younger generation of students and advocate for education of STEM-related fields for women in the U.S. and in third world countries. “I would like to speak to schools and kids to get my voice out there about STEM fields,” she says. “I hope that all younger generations will allow themselves to try any field regardless of whether it’s male or female-dominated.” Weiter also works closely with Engineering Without Borders USA, an initiative that partners with communities around the world to satisfy basic human needs, like

clean water or solar panels for power. She plans on traveling to Africa and South American to volunteer. “We do a lot that flies under the radar, but there is a big need for water distribution, storage for crops and water wells as a way to provide clean drinking water to the communities,” Weiter says.” As for any words of wisdom for anyone who may consider doing something out of the ordinary, Weiter says, “In order to compete well, you have to know yourself and be yourself. You have to compete with yourself.” After Weiter passes the crown, she plans to continue her work in the engineering field as well as her work with Engineering Without Borders.

You can find a friend to be your partner in success, keep a fitness journal, check in on Facebook or Instagram, or keep a calendar on your wall to log successes. If you are sick, or have something knock you off of schedule, simply pick back up where you left off. Face forward with your goals. It is never too late to make a good decision, every good decision is a success and should be acknowledged. • 5th Strategy: Track your progress to keep yourself accountable. Do not be discouraged if you miss a day, acknowledge the days you’ve succeeded and focus on your healthier future. Follow these simple strategies and we are sure you will be enjoying a healthier life before spring. As with all fitness routines, consult a physician for any advice regarding changes to your health care plan.
