UPCOMING EVENT: Access Louisville Live presented by Baird. Be on hand for a live recording of the Access Louisville podcast April 22. Details and registration here.Louisville and the surrounding area have seen a bevy of new data center projects announced in the last several months. We discuss what it all means on this week's Access Louisville podcast.The latest news is a $6 billion project in Oldham County which is attracting scrutiny from nearby residents and officials. There are also data center developments in South Louisville and at the River Ridge Commerce Center in Jeffersonville, Indiana. The jury is likely still out on whether having these projects are good or not. Sure, they attract big investments and require some high paying jobs. And possibly set the area up for more technology industry development. But they're also a major draw on power and water resources.After the data center discussion, Reporter Joel Stinnett shares some of his notes from covering new University of Louisville president Gerard "Gerry" Bradley. He did his first press conference recently after his very unusual appointment to UofL's top office. Lastly, we get into a little baseball talk — particularly the news that a Louisville native has landed a very lucrative MLB contract with the Arizona Diamondbacks. And we wrap up the show with me lamenting the fact that Cincinnati Reds games are no longer readily available on my TV provider of choice. TV revenue is a challenge for MLB teams compared to those in other sports, as we recently reported. Access Louisville, sponsored by Baird, is a weekly podcast from Louisville Business First. It's available on popular podcast services including Apple Podcasts and Spotify.

On Tuesday, July 24, 1984, a friend discovered 68 year-old Delores Lynch, deceased, on the driveway outside her home. Upon arrival, the police– including Oldham County detective Lynn Nobles–  were surprised to also discover Delores's 39-year-old daughter Janie inside. Both women had died from gunshot wounds that appeared to be from a professional hit.  Before it was all said and done, 7 more would be dead and two families nearly destroyed.  This bizarre and tragic murder case, as detailed by Jerry Bledsoe in his best-selling true crime book “Bitter Blood” and a subsequent 1994 made for TV miniseries, was the subject of a Scandal Water episode last September.  And in today's very special Varietea episode we are proud to share our follow-up interview with the aforementioned detective, Lynn Nobles, who not only worked the Lynch murder investigation from the very beginning, but was also present during that fateful police chase in North Carolina, even sustaining an injury from Fritz Klenner's gunfire.  You won't want to miss this interview during which Lynn walks us through the case from his own first-hand perspective, sharing new insights and clarifying a few points that were missed in the book.  Listen to the interview through your favorite podcast app or *watch* it on the Scandal Water Podcast YouTube channel.   This episode of Scandal Water contains adult themes and descriptions of violence.

On this week's program, we're talking Regional Climate Action Planning with Sumedha Rao and Gianna Bennett from the Metro Louisville Mayor's Office of Sustainability (http://louisvilleky.gov/sustainability). The Office of Sustainability is currently conducting a Regional Climate Action Plan Survey to collect information on residents' climate and sustainability priorities. This work is funded by an EPA Climate Pollution Reduction Grant, and residents within our Metropolitan Statistical Area (MSA) can participate in the survey. That includes the following 11 counties: In Kentucky: Louisville/Jefferson County, Bullitt County, Oldham County, Shelby County, Spencer County, Henry County, and Trimble County; In Indiana: Clark County, Floyd County, Harrison County, and Washington County. Responses before January 31 are eligible to enter a raffle and win some sustainable swag! Take the survey now at https://louisville.az1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_dmYa3jp8EKAZU3A This work is funded by a U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Climate Pollution Reduction Grant and will be used by the Office to update and improve Louisville's climate action plans. Louisville Metro Government has received a grant from the EPA to create an updated Climate Action Plan for the region. This work builds on past and ongoing community-engaged efforts, including the Louisville Metro Greenhouse Gas Emissions Reduction Plan and similar plans from other regions. It is also in support of the priorities outlined in A Path Forward for Louisville (https://apathforward4lou.org/). This Climate Action Plan aims to reduce emissions and position this region for larger EPA grants. The goals are to: 1. Implement actions to reduce major greenhouse gas emissions by 2030 and beyond; 2. Pursue actions to achieve community benefits in low-income areas and areas that experience most environmental harms; 3. Pursue effective policies and programs that can be “scaled up” across other areas and initiatives. This 5-10 minute survey will tell us what work we should prioritize. As always, our feature is followed by your community action calendar for the week, so get your calendars out and get ready to take action for sustainability NOW!

We also let you know about upcoming Juneteenth events in Louisville and in Oldham County.

Knocked Loose, the American hardcore band from Oldham County, Kentucky, are one of a small number of rock bands who might genuinely claim to be the most exciting band on the planet. They're one of the most interesting too. Hardcore might be the vessel they've chosen to music making, but it's not the ultimate destination. This has never been more apparent than throughout their ambitious new EP, A Tear in the Fabric of Life, out now on Pure Noise and a record that sees the band doing new things, in skill ways, that you've never heard them do before.I'm really happy with this chat with vocalist Bryan Garris, he's not a man I've heard interviewed much – and whenever I have heard him speak, he verbalises his thoughts in a fairly unique, quite languid, thoughtful style. But I think we got to some good places together. Over half an hour or so we talk grief, loss, therapy… but also just how ridiculous the music press can be. Our chat made me understand a band I already liked a lot more – which is kind of the point of all this, is it not. Dang I cant wait for that band to hit the UK next year.The James McMahon Music Podcast is a Spoook Media production. Spoook is also a record label, a promoter, a shop, a Substack - it's many things.

“I was born and raised in Clarksdale, Mississippi. 10/22/45. I came to Louisville in search of a teaching job when I graduated from Alcorn State University. I never was a great sports hero, but I was like every other kid… I was on the baseball team and I thought I was gonna be the next Jackie Robinson. And growing up in Mississippi without running water, without electricity, and all the other comforts of life, I want everybody to know that we loved our life at home with our parents. We loved life every day.” – James Sims. Today's guest is James Sims, a guy I love talking to so much when I see him in the gym that I just had to get him in the studio. I was initially interested in speaking with him because he told me he was the first black teacher in Oldham County, and as much as I've watched Oldham County change since I was born (1992), I was very curious to get his perspective on watching it evolve over the last 50 years. He didn't agree right away. It took a few conversations in our gym to get him to warm up to it, but I stayed at him because of his natural storytelling ability and because I knew he was sitting on a treasure trove of experience and real talk. And after many follow-up discussions, I proudly present to you the finished product. James begins (10:24) recounting his childhood and growing up in Mississippi without running water or electricity, and during a time where you couldn't confront a white person if you were black. He shares how he learned to navigate those waters, his relation to the man who led the first slave revolt, being arrested for participating in a sit-in and why spending two those two weeks in jail was one of the greatest things that's ever happened to him (25:42). 19:45). After James served in Army and then used the GI Bill to finish his college education, he shares the story of leaving Mississippi to become the first black teacher in Oldham County (42:48). After doing that for a bit, James recounts going to work on the railroads (59:59), paying his dues for 6 months with a pick axe and eventually graduating from the engineer's program and driving trains for 14 years, then later going back to teaching classes and eventually meeting his wife, Dianne. Later (1:27:09), he shares his one of his favorite stories from childhood about getting caught behind the school shooting dice with the Beasley boys. The interview wraps up (1:25:50) with the one big thing that he wishes he could share with everyone, and it's some real talk. James was an awesome guest, I think you guys can hear how much fun I'm having with him, I hope you enjoy listening to him as much as I did.

Interview with Kim Weir of the Thoroughbred Retirement Foundation. We talk about TRF's newly opened Chestnut Hall Sanctuary Farm that will be the permanent home for 11 retired racehorses from the organization's national herd of 500. Chestnut Hall is nestled on 30 acres of historic farmland in Oldham County, Kentucky and was gifted to the foundation by Bill Carstanjen, CEO of Churchill Downs Incorporated. It was his vision that these athletes serve as “herd ambassadors”. The farm will be open to the public but more importantly it will serve as a way to educate the community about these unique equine athletes, their second careers after racing and connect visitors with the lessons we can learn from these beautiful animals.

This week we’re talking about Oldham County and its future development plans. Oldham County is known as the educated and wealthy Kentucky county that empties out during the day. But a pair of blockbuster developments could change that narrative in the future. Reporter Marty Finley breaks down the proposed project at the Close Family Farm and discusses other recent projects in the county. We also discuss the idea of the four day work week and a talk about a company that's shifting their workforce to permanent work from home status after many employees said they preferred the model. On top of moving to the work from home the company has also instituted the four day work week. We chat about this idea and whether we see more companies jumping on this idea. We wrap up the discussion with big news out of Frankfort with Governor Beshear’s announcement to resurrect the online health insurance exchange, Kynect. Reporter Chris Larson gives some details on when we can expect the online portal to reopen as well as some cost figures in the revival and maintenance of this project. This week's podcast is hosted by Design/multimedia Editor Brooke Timmons and Reporters Marty Finley and Chris Larson.

With many libraries across the country having to stay closed due to the Coronavirus pandemic, patrons may have more time to discover all the resources libraries have to offer that aren't between the four walls of a library building. While many of us may be nostalgic about those card catalogues and the check-out card pocket glued inside the back of books, libraries have become focused on information in all forms and the best ways to get it to all of us at home. Our guest today, Patty Clark, is a digital services librarian with the Oldham County library system. Oldham County is a more rural and suburban county on the far outskirts of Louisville Kentucky. The Oldham County library system is a member of the Kentucky Library Consortium, as are most of the library systems within the state except for large independent library systems in Louisville and Lexington. Members of the consortium pool their resources to offer their patrons as many technical services as possible. And while Patty is most familiar with her own library, many of the services we talk about today are ones that can be found in libraries throughout the country . If you aren't sure if your library offers these services, just ask. We had originally recorded with Patty in February, but the pandemic changed things immensely , and we wanted to ensure listeners had current info so we appreciate her being game to do it again. Patty tells us about some of the special features ebooks from your library offer that you may not know about, why you should always put yourself on the waiting list for a highly sought after books even if that list seems ridiculously long, and about some services libraries offer that may just spark a new hobby which is fun for when your under quarantine. Books mentioned in this episode: 1- A White Wind Blew by James Markert 2- Hawaii and other books by James Michener 3- The War That Saved My Life byKimberly Brubaker Bradley 4- The Wonder by Emma Donohue 5- The Authenticity Project by Clare Pooley 6- The Need by Helen Phillips Podcasts mentioned: 1- Desert Island Discs (BBC) 2- Endless Thread 3- Laughter Permitted You can find us on FB, instagram (@perksofbeingabookloverpod) and on our blog site at www.perksofbeingabooklover.com Perks airs on Forward Radio 106.5 FM and forwardradio.org every Wednesday at 6 pm, Thursdays at 6 am and 12 pm.

What a jam packed show we have for you guys this week!  Dr. Karen Berg, Democratic candidate for the 26th Senate district in Oldham and NE Jefferson Counties visits with us and talks strategy and why she's running.  We've been watching this district pretty closely!  She talked at length about the issues she's passionate about and bringing her message to the voters in Oldham County. Before that, Jazmin and Robert talked about the settlement between JCPS & the KY Board of Education (removing the need for a takeover).  We also talked about Alison Lundergan Grimes being accused of several things by the Executive Director of the board of elections and the fallout there.  Jazmin did a story about legislator's travel loopholes, Robert talked about the LRC Director's contract not being renewed, and there was an update in the Governor's race.  It's a full show!  Thanks for listening.

In the fall of 2017, we spent 5 weeks celebrating 20 years of RVCC's ministry to Oldham County and examining the values that define who we are and what we do as a church. Listen to this message from October 8, 2017 as Brandon casts vision for how God is leading us to be his faithful witnesses to our community.

This year, River Valley Christian Church celebrates its 20th Anniversary. For two decades now, this body of believers has been holding out the hope of the Gospel to Oldham County and beyond. As a congregation, we want to honor that milestone, More importantly, we want to rejoice in the God who has proven Himself faithful over that time period. But what about the next 20 years? Where is God going to take us from here? At the beginning of this year, we identified three core values as a congregation. We want to be a church that is Kingdom-Minded, Bible-Centered, and Family-Focused. We believe these three values are going to propel us into the next two decades of ministry. So, what do those values look like? How are we going to make sure that we’re headed down the right path? On September 10, we’re going to begin “2020 Vision.” In that series, we’ll talk about where God is leading us as a church and how we’re going to get there together. As we unpack the practices we’re going to commit ourselves to in the months to come, we’ll catch a glimpse of the future we believe God has in mind for RVCC. Be sure to join us over the next five weeks as we celebrate where we’ve been and anticipate what God is going to do in the years to come! Selected Quotes: "We can’t go anywhere unless God leads us there." "Moses understood that God’s presence with His people was what set them apart and made them special. He wouldn’t go if God wasn’t going with them. As a church, that should be how desperately we want to follow God.” "When we follow God, He takes us to places we couldn’t imagine before. He does things we could never do on our own."

"They were motivated by the feeling that God wanted to do something great in this area." "When all is said and done, we’re not going to sit around and marvel at what we did. We are going to have our mouths open in amazement at what God has done."
