History of First Lutheran Church
Under the guidance of the Rev. J.W. Ruthrauff, First English Lutheran Church was established in Louisville, Kentucky, as a congregation of the Olive Branch Synod on June 6, 1872, with fourteen charter members.
After meeting in several temporary locations, the congregation moved into a new brick house of worship of its own on Easter Sunday, 1874. The church was built on the southern edge of the city, at its present location on Broadway (then called Prather Street). First Church was in a good position to grow, and within a few years, an addition was built onto the church building to provide more space for the expanding Sunday school.
Once established, First Church played an active role in the promotion of other missions in Louisville. In 1876 the congregation aided in the formation of a Sunday school in the western part of the city which became the nucleus for the organization of Second English Lutheran Church (now Fenner Memorial) a year later. In 1880 the members of First Church sponsored another school east of its parish, and that produced Third Lutheran Church in 1886. They supported a mission school in the Highland area, which resulted in the establishment of Trinity Lutheran Church in 1892. And in 1890, thirty-four of First Church's original members were transferred to still another new congregation at Second and Oak streets - St. Paul English Evangelical Lutheran Church (which later merged with First).
In 1903, at the site of their first building, the congregation constructed a new house of worship - the present Gothic-style, limestone edifice. Among the many impressive features of this building is a wooden altar carving of "The Last Supper," carved by Alois Lang, and presented to the church in 1916.
A stone educational unit was added in 1960, as was the seven-foot bronze statue of Martin Luther. The sculpture, by Frederick Soetebier of Germany, is one of only ten Luther statues in the United States.
During the early 1960's the existence of First Church was jeopardized by the development of Urban Renewal programs in its neighborhood, but the congregation successfully petitioned public officials to allow the church to remain at its Broadway location.
First Lutheran Church celebrated its 125th anniversary in 1997.
Charlie Vettiner Golf Course is designated as a "Certified Audubon Cooperative Sanctuary” through the Audubon Cooperative Sanctuary Program for Golf Courses, an Audubon International program. To reach certification, a course must demonstrate a high degree of environmental quality in a number of areas including environmental Planning, wildlife and habitat management, outreach and education and water quality management.
This is a gorgeous golf course with rolling hills, bent grass greens, and zoysia fairways. If the 50 white sand bunkers and tree-lined fairways aren’t enough to get your attention, how about the creek that meanders through several holes, with ponds on #5, #14 and #18. This has been rated as the 7th most challenging course in Kentucky. However, there are enough different tee markers to either help or challenge every level of golfer. A fully stocked Pro Shop and snack bar will help round out any day at this beautiful course. Along with spectacular golf, Charlie Vettiner Park also features a fishing lake, fitness course, hiking trails, and playground for complete family entertainment.

Kentucky DEP advises fish consumption for bottom feeders (catfish) and panfish to one per week (in a healthy person), and one per month in sensitive people (kids, elderly, sick), and for predatory fish such as bass, one meal per month with Mercury listed as the contaminant. . water.ky.gov/waterquality/Pages/FishConsumption.aspx
Kentucky Dept. of Fish and Wildlife Resources details a bit better listing also Mercury and PCBs according to the body of water (note they do not measure or include perchlorates or arsenic here): fw.ky.gov/Fish/Pages/Fish-Consumption-Advisories.aspx

This spider chose to weave his asymmetric web over my roof last year. This original "dreamcatcher" creator has now made his web lower in height this year choosing to align himself with traffic and the sidewalk. When I pointed this wonderful spider out to the landscaper he sawed off the entire branch much to my dismay.
A year later a tree removal company at the behuest of our barbaric Board of Directors and property management company removed this entire 40' tree, roots and all, leaving a gaping depression in the ground as well as surrounding roots which have not been removed or restored.

She just starting chasing sticks a few weeks ago and we've had her for a year (never played) after watching it done in the dog parks, but wouldn't bring them back, and she'd go after them in the water but wouldn't bring them back. So you can see the look of pride and accomplishment (and tail wags) with this one. : )

This crow issued an intruder alert this morning. Apparently there was a sparrow across the street perching on a higher pole and the crow was not amused. The crow took flight shortly after this photograph was taken and proceeded across a 4 lane highway to intercept the sparrow removing the sparrow from the higher pole. There was a mid-air battle - crow and sparrow did fly together for a few seconds however sparrow was much too quick for the crow and disappeared among a group of starlings. Crow is still looking for violators of his space. That is all this crow does - every day.
**********
Update - Today this crow was nowhere to be found. There was, however, a flock of starlings not only on the pole but along the wires here as well. Crow should know not to harass sparrows with starling friends :-)
Took Ms. P to Dog Mountain at Cherokee Park but there were not many dogs out playing this afternoon. She still had fun. Dogs always do.

The twin spires atop the grandstands are the most recognizable architectural feature of Churchill Downs and are used as a symbol of the track and the Derby. They were designed by architect Joseph Dominic Baldez and built in 1895.
This is Sinh (with an "H", he will adamantly tell you) - If I understood him correctly, he came here to the US roughly 8 years ago from Vietnam looking for a better life - for freedom. He works hard - he is in this shop every day, all day long, not sure how many days - at least 6, non-stop. He is a wonderful gentleman. He says many of the customers leave their shoes and purses there (many quite expensive) and never return to retrieve them (or pay for them). After a certain period of time (I think he said a year) they donate them to Goodwill - "For the People", he says. But there is a deep down sadness to his eyes. I had to ask him a couple of times to smile before I could get this one, but I got it!
Many people I speak with who come here from oppressed Countries tell me they only knew of what they saw in "Hollywood" - that one could flourish here. Many have lost their hopes and dreams and are unable to return to their home Countries, leaving family members behind. Yet so many of us here have no compassion or empathy for someone like Sinh who gave up everything they had to try to find hope for a better life - and here he is. But he seems to accept his fate and does what he feels he has to do - but he is a polite, charming individual and a joy to deal with. I hope he finds his freedom in life one day.
While this may look like a quiet first day of Spring here in Louisville, Kentucky, USA, it is not. Outside there are train horns blowing, the ground is shaking (as usual) and now there is also construction/earthwork going on nearby as one can clearly hear the backup beeps of construction equipment & earth movers. Who knows what they're burying or covering up this evening. Yet Kentucky wonders why they have a drinking/drug problem. Gov. Bevin says, "I know we have a noise problem" - wanna trade places, Matt? To whomever approved all this work going on at once in this area or "looked the other way" -
At any rate, Pancake is snoring on the couch.

When I first moved here I asked someone what this sign meant - looked like "Don't Drag Dead People"
*************************
LOUISVILLE, Ky. —A truck driver was cited after his tractor-trailer was hit by a train in Crestwood.
It happened overnight at Highway 146 and Railroad Avenue.
There are signs at the crossing warning drivers that trucks with low clearance will get stuck.
That's what happened when the truck was hit.
A woman who works across the street said she has seen several trucks get stuck.
“If they look at the signs, I would think a lot of this would be eliminated. It's a big problem with traffic and police having to come and stop traffic and using the policeman’s time,” said Ann McAllister, who lives near the crossing.
The tractor-trailer was hauling canned soup.
No one was hurt.

Another auto accident behind our little subdivision yesterday evening. No one killed, A child was taken by ambulance from the minivan that the blue honda ran off the road. Many witnesses. The apparently alcohol impaired driver crossed the center line and ran the minivan off the road. This was a good opportunity to say hi, meet and greet new neighbors.
