About The River City Radio Controllers, AMA Gold Leader Club:
The River City Radio Controllers, A.M.A. Gold Leader Club #1263, was formed in the early 1970’s operating from a field on the Freys Hill side of E.P. “Tom” Sawyer State Park in eastern Jefferson County. In 1995, due to encroaching development, the Club moved to its current flying site on the Hurstbourne Parkway side of the Park, which was dedicated “Steve Henry Field” in honor of former Lt. Governor, Steven L. Henry. Due to our commitment to our surrounding community, the club has achieved AMA Gold Leader club status. Additionally, our club received the Jefferson County Commissioners’ Community Service Award for its annual “Wings for Kids” Benefit Air Show. In 2013, our flying field was renamed “Bill Fluke Field” in honor of one of our most popular and hard-working Club Presidents who recently passed away.
Here are some highlights about our club and facilities:
Our Club – Location
The club is currently comprised of approximately 130 radio control pilots who are licensed by the Academy of Model Aeronautics. Pilots fly helicopters and fixed-wing aircraft with electric, glow fuel, or gasoline motors. Throughout the year, the club has fun-fly events that anyone may attend for free. Event information may be found on our calendar.
Our club is located in Tom Sawyer State Park in Louisville, KY (map).
Visitors are welcomed any time the front gate is open.
The flying field is open 7 days a week from 10 am until dark (weather permitting).
Facilities
We have a 500 ft x 50 ft paved runway with an adjacent grass runway.
Dedicated helicopter flying field.
Shelter area with storage and grills for cooking.
Bleachers for spectators.
Large gravel parking lot.
Aircraft
The aircraft are flown with radio control systems that have a range of several miles. Planes are typically flown within a 1,500 foot radius of the runway. There are nearly as many different models of radio controlled planes as there are full scale planes. Some of the more popular aircraft flown at the “Wings for Kids Air Show” will include WWI and WWII scale models, civilian scale, aerobatic scale, aerobatic 3D (extreme aerobatic), turbine jets, electric jets, electric and glow helicopters, and extreme flight 3D helicopters. There are other fun fly aircraft that perform during the show including a candy drop for children.
Aircraft Size and Speed
Airplanes and helicopters range in size from ultra-micros, which have about a 10 inch wingspan, to aircraft with wingspans greater than 9 feet. Most planes fly between 35 and 75 mph. Some planes and most jets will exceed 100 mph and may approach 150+ mph. Helicopters are also able to fly at extreme speeds and fly extreme aerobatics well beyond what is capable in a full-scale helicopter.
Aircraft Cost
The cost of a helicopter or airplane is usually related to size and complexity. Most airplanes range from $400 to several thousand dollars. However, beginner electrics may start as low as $100 for those looking to get started in the hobby. On the other end of the spectrum, a scale turbine jet may cost upwards of $15,000.
Learn To Fly
So how do I get started in radio controlled flying? That is a question we hear a lot. At RCRC, we believe you should be able to “try before you buy”, so we encourage beginners to contact our club president (Doug Bailey) who will arrange for a person from our club to provide training. This allows you to fly with the safety-net of an experienced pilot that can automatically take the controls from you if things start to go south! This is a great way to test the waters of RC before diving in!
Call Doug at 502 930 5753 to arrange your training flight.
The Homeless can frequently be spotted here in Louisville, Kentucky, USA sleeping (or dying) under various underpasses. Many have treatable medical conditions, many are military Veterans, many have addictions, many are victims of horrid sexual and physical abuses (a good portion of these rapes and abuses, experienced by both men and women, occur while staying in shelters). What is so puzzling about this is directly adjacent to this bridge is the University of Louisville's Forcht Center for Entrepreneurship. These "Entrepreneurs" will step over the homeless bodies shown here in order to get to their classes. Some of the bodies shown here were not homeless but were simply discharged from medical facilities and dropped here after being cut & drugged.
What is curious also is that if one takes the time to sit down and speak to these individuals one will learn many have just had medical procedures and surgeries performed at the University of Louisville and immediately discharged back onto the streets without further placement into any type of care or recovery unit. One person I'd spoken with indicated their medical transport never showed up and they were stranded.
I encountered one person who had just had a surgery on their leg, had an 8" oozing scar, and had fallen here. They were not able to get up. This individual had been laying under this bridge for days. Needless to say, the police were called and the EMT's did take this woman back, unfortunately, to the University of Louisville. Police officers I spoke with on the scene indicated this is a frequent occurrence. It was not recommended the woman return to U of L, however this was the only care center she was familiar with.
This post is dedicated to a long time friend, a brilliant man, exceptional chef, wonderful human being, who is currently in Norton Hospital, ICU, 200 E. Chestnut Street, Louisville, KY 40202. We are not sure if he is going to survive.
Pancake met this gorgeous Australian Shepherd while donating some items to the Kentucky Humane Society today, and what a beautiful blue-eyed pup this was!
Purchased these for my dog. They were rancid. They did have the USDA seal of approval on the packaging. "Shrink wrapped". They were farmed in Kentucky. Does not appear this animal got much exercise, minerals or sunlight and was quite stressed: www.jbc.org/content/65/3/643.full.pdf
THE INFLUENCE OF SUNLIGHT ON BONE DEVELOPMENT
IN SWINE.
BY L. A. MAYNARD, S. A. GOLDBERG, AND R. C. MILLER.
(From the Department of Animal Husbandry and the Department of Comparatiue
Pathology and Bacteriology, Cornell University, Ithaca.)
(Received for publication, July 6, 1925.)
A report has recently been made by the writers (1) on the dietary
relationships and the pathology of a condition in swine popularly
referred to as stiffness, paralysis, rickets, and by other terms.
In this previous study the principal and constantly occurring
lesions in the stiff pigs were found in the bones and these lesions
were accompanied by a deficiency of calcium and phosphorus as
shown by chemical analysis of the femurs. The stiffness was
found to occur with a ration low either in calcium or in the factor
aiding its assimilation. The correction of the ration with respect
to these deficiencies was found effective for preventing or curing
the trouble.
In this previous study the animals were housed in pens on the
north side of the colony house and were never exposed to any
direct sunlight. In view of the findings that the stiffness was
apparently a result of faulty mineral nutrition the question naturally
arose as to how the results would be modified where the pigs
were exposed to sunlight. The results reported in the present
paper deal with a study of this question.
************
Note if one does file a complaint with the USDA on a rancid or compromised product this will be the response:
"After receiving your complaint, FSIS conducted an analysis and review of CCMS (Consumer Complaint Monitoring System) data, as well as the inspection of records from the establishment that produced the product in questions. We did not find any trends or conditions at the establishment that warrant further action at this time. However, we have notified the manufacturer and FSIS establishment personnel of your complaint, and they may conduct additional review."
Got this pumpkin from Kroger's to cut up for a casserole. Needless to say we were not able to use much of it. With their defunct return policy I'm sorry I cut it up. Would have made great target practice. : )

While on a errand today we spotted this TARC bus parked, idling, both to and from our destination. aka Running. No driver at the wheel. For at least 1/2 hour.
Transit Authority of River City
1000 W Broadway, Louisville, KY 40203
Phone: (502) 585-1234
This stop is the "end of the line" (or the beginning however one looks at it). When I was attempting to learn the bus lines a while back (didn't turn out well) there was a lady driver who'd sit at the driver's seat having her lunch. If you went near the bus while she was having lunch she'd bark your head off. Once I dropped a nickel and could not find it, she said, "Honey, you need full fare to ride on this bus" - I needed to be in court - I missed the court date - I have a warrant out for my arrest. I no longer care. I do see that lady is no longer driving this bus.
Not sure where this ditch ends but it doesn't look good. Standing water remains days after rainfalls. Undermining can be seen to the left. It does, however, provide safe harbor for bats frequently seen loitering above at night and produces ample supplies of gnats for local spiders. Offers unlimited free storage and effortless return of Kroger's shopping carts.

Cheltenham Wetlands Park was once part of the U.S. Naval Radio Station, Cheltenham, Maryland. It was commissioned in 1939.
“The original antenna fields, comprising creosoted wood telephone poles and metal antenna towers, were located in the acreage surrounding the buildings. All metal antenna poles have been removed from the installation. Some abandoned creosoted wood poles remain in the wooded and swampy sections of the installation.
Established as a radio receiving station before World War II, the installation's mission evolved to administration during the Cold War era.”
Pancake and I have seen this Taurus at this location for over a month - 24/7. We finally decided to look inside the car to ensure there were no dead bodies inside. There weren't - just some notebooks, log books and a bottle on the seat. The Ford probably broke down and they left it there.
There is a foul odor emanating from this Navy Dock in front of the Ford Plant in Louisville, KY, USA. We are unsure of it's origin. The odor can be detected while on foot as it appears to be confined to a local area - it is similar to burned rubber. It burns our eyes and respiratory systems. I am not sure how Ford Employees tolerate it. I hope they have respirators to use.
Pancake does her part in the community by collecting aluminum cans & plastic for recycling. She can also fish cans from lakes, ditches & streams. She prefers to shred the cans however we try to discourage that. She is a busy dog.
Whistleblower, Qui Tam Lawsuit: Healthcare, Pharma, Financial – How to Report Fraud
topclassactions.com/lawsuit-settlements/lawsuit-news/1497...
Who’s Affected?
Have you witnessed your employer committing fraud in government programs like Medicare, military contracts, or others? If so, whistleblowers can earn large cash rewards if they are the first to report the fraud in a False Claims Act lawsuit, also known as a “qui tam” lawsuit or whistleblower lawsuit.
Pharmacists, billing pros, healthcare employees, financial consultants and other insiders have earned more than $1 billion in whistleblower awards.
With help from employees reporting fraud in whistleblower lawsuits, taxpayers have recovered billions of dollars from companies involved in Medicare Fraud, Financial Fraud, Flawed Pharmaceutical Products, Tax Fraud, Government Contracts, Physician/Hospital Kickbacks and other misconduct.
Whistle blower reports are a powerful tool to help stop fraud and help the government recover some of its losses.
In exchange, whistleblowers will typically be rewarded with 15 to 30 percent of what the whistleblower lawsuit recovers.
Whistleblower lawyers are actively seeking people who may have witnessed fraud committed against the government. Find out if you have a case by filling out the confidential form on this page now.
Overview: What Types of Fraud Are Committed Against the Government?
Medicare or Medicaid Health Care Billing Fraud
Healthcare billing fraud, through Medicare, Medicaid or other government program, occurs when a healthcare provider bills for unnecessary services or services never received by a Medicare patient.
Medicare or Medicaid fraud is usually committed by hospitals, physicians, pharmacies, medical product or medical device providers, labs, ambulance transport companies, home healthcare agencies or other medical provider that bills a government program for medical products or services.
Examples of healthcare fraud may include:
Fraudulent upcoding in medical billing.
An ambulance company claiming emergency services for a simple transport or entering into a kickback arrangement with hospitals.
Overcharging for medical goods or healthcare services.
Kickback or illegal referral arrangements between providers.
Providing services that are not medically necessary.
Claiming and billing for services provided by a physician when the care was provided by a less qualified employee.
If you believe you have witnessed Medicare fraud or health insurance fraud, you may qualify to file a whistle blower lawsuit against your employer on behalf of the government. Fill out the form on this page now for a FREE case evaluation.
Government Procurement and Military Contract Fraud
Government contractor fraud occurs when companies contracting with a government agency or the military do any of the following:
Overcharge for goods or services.
Perform sub-standard work or substituting lower quality materials than promised.
Bill for services not performed.
Provide inaccurate information about completion, quality, or timeliness of contract work.
Government contractors involved in whistleblower lawsuits include defense (military) contractors, security or environmental contractors, or any other company cheating on their agreements with the Federal or State government.
Other Fraud Types: SEC Corporate Fraud, IRS Whistleblower Statute & More
If your employer is involved in securities – stock fraud, the Securities Exchange Commission or the “SEC” has a whistleblower statute that rewards people who report corporate fraud and protect them with anti-retaliation rules.
IRS tax fraud — when companies do not pay the IRS taxes they owe or are involved in a scheme to avoid taxes — is covered by the IRS whistleblower rules. If the fraud is substantial the Internal Revenue Service pays tax whistle blower rewards.
What is a Whistleblower Lawsuit/Qui Tam Lawsuit?
Whistleblower lawsuits are the only way to report fraud and collect a cash reward under the U.S. False Claims Act and the 31 State False Claims Acts, including New York, Florida, Texas, and California False Claims Acts.
Warning to Tipsters: If you call and report fraud directly to the government you will not be eligible for a reward beyond a small amount. The only way to earn a cash reward under the False Claims Act is to file a whistleblower lawsuit.
Qui tam lawsuits are lawsuits filed by whistleblowers under the False Claims Act. A qui tam lawsuit is filed by an individual or another company that claims another company has defrauded the government in some way.
The person who files a qui tam lawsuit is called the “relator,” commonly known as the whistleblower. A relator may be an employee, former employee, a competitor, or another contractor or subcontractor who has some knowledge of the alleged fraud.
Qui tam lawsuits cannot be based on public information, unless the whistle blower is the source of the public information. The whistle blower is considered the original source of the allegations.
The False Claim Act dates back to the Civil War and was signed by President Abraham Lincoln to protect against fraud against the government. It has been amended several times since then to accommodate a variety of situations.
How Do You File a Whistleblower Lawsuit?
Qui tam lawsuits are sent directly to the Justice Department for review. They are kept confidential while the government investigates whether or not the allegations are valid. It also gives the government a chance to decide if it wants to join the lawsuit.
This is done before the company being charged is informed about the qui tam lawsuit. The government has 60 days to review the lawsuit, but this time is often extended.
The identity of the whistleblower is protected while the complaint is “sealed” and the Department of Justice investigates. In SEC cases the whistleblower’s name is typically never revealed.
The first whistleblower to file the qui tam lawsuit is the one that will be considered by the court, even if another one contains more detail. This is designed to encourage potential whistleblowers not to hesitate to file their whistleblower lawsuits. So it is critical to speak with a whistleblower lawyer as soon as possible to learn your rights.
A whistleblower lawyer can help you determine the best course of action. Fill out the form on this page now for a FREE case evaluation.
What Do Whistleblowers Receive as an Award?
Whistleblowers may receive 15 to 30 percent of the amount of money that the government recovers as a result of the qui tam lawsuit per the U.S. False Claims Act and also the 31 state False Claims Acts that come into play when the government agency that was financially damaged was a state government.
In 2014 and 2015 more than $500 million were paid to whistle blowers each year as rewards ranging in amounts from $75,000 to more than $50 million.
What Job Protections Exist for Whistleblowers?
There are anti-retaliation laws protecting whistleblowers who blow the whistle on their own employer or another company. These individuals are provided whistleblower protection under the U.S. False Claims Act, state False Claims Acts, and the IRS and SEC statutes.
Whistle blowers are protected against retaliation which includes being fired, demoted or harassed. Penalties for such retaliation include reinstatement and substantial damages. These amounts are in addition to anything received as a cash reward.

It was a beautiful Fall day today as we watched this particular fisherman bring in a few fish - one which resembled a Walleye - there were a number of small boats out there. I was stunned there were any fish remaining in the Ohio near Louisville, Kentucky and Clarksville, Indiana as polluted as it is. The runoff from Indiana as you will see in a following photo teems with surface oil with a reddish tinge. The "beach" itself is trash and litter infested with plastic bottles, jugs, tires, drums and oil containers. What humans, the power companies and industries upstream have done to this river, future generations and the people who live along it and downstream is an abomination and criminal.
