View from the BridgeIt looks like spring will actually arrive! Finally! Time for all of us to get out and enjoy this great neighborhood!

The TPNA is constantly looking to improve its commitment to this area. We recently met to retool our board committees and our priorities. As always our major focus is our sincere desire to make this neighborhood a unique, safe, friendly and compassionate place for our residents. During this strategic planning session we found that our major areas of work centered on the following:

Events: Easter Egg Hunt, St. Patrick’s Day parade, Garden Tour, Jazz Festival and many othersCommunication: newsletters, email blasts, FaceBook, TPNA website, welcome baskets for new residents, participation in Compassionate Louisville, attending other civic meetings in the Highlands area.Fundraising: Schedule annual fundraising events (Wine Tasting, Garden Tour, etc), ValuMarket gift cards, developing a fundraising plan for The Tyler Park Fund to support our public park areas within our boundaries. Infrastructure: Trees, neighborhood banners, Tyler Park maintenance, Tyler Park Bridge, zoning/licensing, green initiatives, walkability study, Master Plan for Tyler Park, property maintenance, development of a Neighborhood Plan.

Many thanks to Lisa Dettlinger of the Center for Neighborhoods who helped us facilitate this planning and strategic effort. We could not have done it without her. You need to know that your TPNA is one of the most active, if not the most active, neighborhood associations in the city. We are in the process of developing a board handbook that could be a model for others. In order to achieve our goals we are always on the lookout for new TPNA members and board members. If you have not already become a TPNA member please complete the membership form included in the newsletter and send it in. We always welcome your input also. Please do not hesitate to contact me or any other member of the board with comments or concerns.

As many of you know the TPNA was very active in the funding for the recent construction of the new walkway project in Tyler Park. It’s been a great addition to the park. To further enhance this project, two additional park benches and trash receptacles with retaining walls are planned. The cost of this project is approximately $13,600. Through The Tyler Park Fund, our 501(c)(3) park charity fund) and TPNA operating funds we have most of the cost covered. We need your help in raising an additional $2,000 to cover the full cost of the project. Please consider donating to The Tyler Park Fund, any amount is welcome. Any contribution to the fund is tax deductible. Please refer to the special article on page one with more specific donation information. Thanks in advance for your generous contributions! -- Brian Caudill, TPNA President

Block WatchIf you are reading this article, you probably are a Tyler Park resident. Do you know your neighbors next door, across the street, on your block or on your street? Do you wish you did, but it is the tiniest bit awkward getting things going? The warm weather is approaching and many of us will be porch sitting, gardening, walking, riding our bikes, washing our cars, and seeing our neighbors. Now is the perfect time to start a Block Watch.LMPD has a Neighborhood Watch program to get you started. Truthfully, most watches start with a crisis on the street...a break in, graffiti, loud music, abandoned vehicles, traffic issues, neglected property...a collective complaint. This common cause gets everyone talking and acting. The best time to start a Neighborhood Watch according to LMPD is before an incident occurs. Call Community Relations Programs at 574-7427 to get started. They have all kinds of information and will send a Community Officer to come to your first meeting to help you get started.Our own Tom Owen encourages Front Porch Tuesdays where neighbors gather just to chat. You switch from the odd to the even addresses on your block. Regular gathering times are instrumental in forming neighborly friendships. Most of these gatherings develop a way to contact each other--phone trees, emails, facebook pages, google groups. Your cat is missing? You need a reputable roofer? You need the proverbial cup of sugar? Ask a neighbor.We have many streets/blocks in the Tyler Park Neighborhood who have established or desire to establish a Block Watch. Contact these folks to get on the list for your street's activities. Don't see your street, but would like help getting started?

Tyler Park MaintenanceThe TPNA Board is restructuring its committees to enhance the association’s operations. Currently our Master Planning Committee members oversee the development of the Tyler Park Master Plan and coordinate all infrastructure and improvement projects to integrate with the plan. The plan is posted online at http://www.louisvilleky.gov/MetroParks/planninganddesign/projects/tylerparkplanning.htm. In addition, we have coordinated periodic invasive plant removal work with the Olmsted Parks Conservancy, periodic cleanups with Operation Brightside on Saturdays, and continuous monitoring of the condition of the park. We are following up on promises from Metro Parks to remove vines and other plants growing on the bridge, paving, and crumbling pathways; to complete the Edenside pathway to the Baxter sidewalk; and to eliminate standing water in front of the shelter/bathrooms. Some of the monitoring tasks for the committee are checking for graffiti and other vandalism; and informing Metro Parks of ongoing maintenance needs such as drainage problems, storm damage, trash removal and damage to playground equipment, benches, and walkways.As you can see, this has proved to be a considerable job and more than a single committee can manage. To better oversee the park’s condition, the Board is establishing a separate Park Maintenance Committee to assume the maintenance related functions of the Planning Committee. This committee will be creating a Maintenance Team to inspect the Park on a periodic schedule for the many items cited above and to communicate with our Metro Parks district and regional supervisors, Sheila Pitts and Mark Wilson. The idea is to generate neighbor involvement in the stewardship of the park and better coordination with Sheila and Mark. A final note – there will be a Brightside cleanup on Saturday, April 12th from ten to noon, and an Olmsted invasive plant cleanup on Saturday, June 7th from ten to noon. It’s a great way to meet fellow neighbors and get up close and personal with our wonderful park. -- Mike Gramig

“April hath put a spirit of youth in everything.” - Shakespeare

For 53 years, Kentucky Shakespeare, a not-for-profit charitable organization, professional theatre company, and the oldest free Shakespeare Festival in the United States has been offering free Shakespeare in Central Park in Old Louisville during the summer months. This spring, in celebration of William Shakespeare’s 450th birthday, for the first time in our company’s history Kentucky Shakespeare will be touring HAMLET to select Louisville Parks beyond Central Park.

Thanks to Councilman Tom Owen and the Tyler Park Neighborhood Association, we are excited to bring Free Shakespeare to Tyler Park this spring as part of our new Shakespeare in the Parks program! Please join us in Tyler Park for our 90-minute, 8-actor HAMLET on Saturday, April 26 at 6:00PM. Metro Parks will provide some picnic tables, but also feel free to bring food, chairs, blankets and join us in experiencing one of the Bard’s greatest works in a beautiful surrounding. This spring, we will also be touring to other Louisville parks including Emerson, Shawnee, Riverside Gardens, Highview, Robsion, Story Avenue, and Petersburg Park.Once you’ve experienced Kentucky Shakespeare, it is my hope that you will join us in Old Louisville this summer to experience our expanded 2014 summer season. We will present three professional productions in rotating repertory – A MIDSUMMER NIGHT’S DREAM, HENRY V, and HAMLET, plus our Globe Players student production of LOVE’S LABOUR’S LOST. In the last two weeks of our season in Central Park we will welcome four great local theatre companies to present their own productions on the Festival stage. Le Petomane Theatre, Walden Theatre, Savage Rose Classical Theatre, and Shoestring Productions will all present Shakespeare’s work on our stage. The season expansion will result in 10 weeks, 8 productions, and 56 free performances this summer running from July 11-August 17.While I spent 9 years working with Kentucky Shakespeare, I have been away from the company for three years. As I now return and enjoy my first season as the new Producing Artistic Director, I can’t think of a better way to begin than by bringing Shakespeare to our Louisville neighborhoods. We look forward to seeing you April 26th in Tyler Park and invite you to experience YOUR Kentucky Shakespeare, a Louisville tradition for 53 years.See you in the park!Matt Wallace, Producing Artistic Director, Kentucky Shakespearewww.kyshakespeare.com

“This above all: to thine own self be true.” - Shakespeare

Be an Informed and Involved CitizenThe anchor stone of a representative democracy is the peoples’ access to those persons they have entrusted with leadership. Whether you agree or disagree with that leader, you need to be able to tell them what you think about the government’s decisions, policies, and services. While I’m sure there’s room for improvement, I work pretty hard to stay in touch with you. I deliberately choose to be a daily bicycle/bus commuter in part because I want you to be able to wave me over for a chat or grab my ear at the coach stop. I’m also a Bardstown-Baxter Avenue coffee shop person who often schedules routine meetings there and faithfully appears the last Saturday of each month (January-November) at a different java shop for a two hour “Talk With Tom.” Furthermore, each year I lay out a two and one-half month schedule where I pedal up and down every street in the 8th District pulling over to say “hello” or actually scheduling a “house-call” to discuss a concern. In addition, I start most days well before dawn answering and forwarding your emails and between myself and my legislative aide, Terra Long, work hard to return your phone calls in a timely manner. (Yep, it’s true that in modern times I receive fewer letters through the mail.) Ms. Long or I strive to attend the regular meetings of our eight neighborhood associations, the weekly meetings of the Highland Commerce Guild, and the quarterly Highlands Connection, an umbrella group that promotes information sharing among “Highlands” organizations. Over the years I have enjoyed trying to stay in touch with our “Bugle” multi-page newsletter that is mailed to your home and in February launched the “Bugle E-blast” as a way to get more timely information to you on your computer. I invite you to sign-up for the e-blasts. At louisvilleky.gov click on Metro Council and drag to “See all council members.” Click on Tom Owen’s 8th District photo and then the red envelope icon that allows you to register. (I can assure you that your email address will not be shared.) For me, being available to citizens is at the very center of public service. I wanted you to know how I go about trying to live up to that ideal. -- Tom Owen, 8th District Councilman

TPNA Marches in St. Pat ParadeIrish eyes were smiling as the Tyler Park Neighborhood Association joined the The Ancient Order of the Hibernians in the annual St. Patrick’s Day Parade held on March 15th. An estimated 100,000 revelers lined the parade route enjoying traditional Irish food and libations provided by neighborhood businesses. This year’s theme was “It's a Great Day for the Irish”. Brian Caudill, Mike Gramig, Ray Brundige, Manny Carralero, Robby Snawder, and Kristen Millwood led the way bearing the Tyler Park banner. Andy Westbrook, driving a decorated, vintage VW van followed with Doug Thrasher riding shotgun. Gaily garbed in Gaelic dress were the “Leprechauns of Tyler Park” (Rebecca Watson, Beth Faulkenburg, Chesley Blackford, Kate Jackson, Paula Guelda, Joann

Mosier and Jeanette Westbrook). 2014 marked the twelfth appearance of the TPNA in this exciting event. As the Irish say, if you are lucky enough to be Irish (and live in Tyler Park), you are lucky enough. --Rebecca Watson

Tyler Park Master Plan ImplementationTrees: MSD Grant/Metro Parks/Donations: Ten trees were planted on the hillside next to the walkway; 6 Shumard oaks, 2 burr oaks, and 2 cucumber magnolias. Three native dogwoods were planted in the lower park from Metro Parks. Resident Tony Nold donated a hornbean tree that was planted in the walkway area. Money was left over from the Metro Park MSD grant so Martha Berner, landscape architect and project manager for the Tyler Park Master Plan, suggested purchasing an additional 10 redbud trees, 2” calliber. These will be planted as companion trees in the woodland area in the lower park. Martha realized we were disappointed in the size of the 26 memorial redbuds. Metro Parks will maintain all these trees including the donated hornbean tree.Completion of Seeding/Curbing (Tom Owen Funds): Tyler Park is on Riverside’s schedule to install asphalt curbing and complete the grading work. They are waiting for their supply of topsoil to dry out in order to transport and spread it. Lawrence Concrete Design quote for Walkway furnishings and retaining walls: The estimate to complete this portion of the walkway project is at $13,600. The Lawrence quote will expire on June 1, 2014. Lawrence is holding the quote for 8 months instead of the traditional 6 months. At the March TPNA Board meeting, members committed to fund the completion of the Walkway Project. Can you donate a few dollars to bring this to fruition? See the article on page one. -- Joan Dubay

Centennials, Again In our last issue we asked our readers to submit ideas for centennials the neighborhood can celebrate, noting that most of our institutions have already passed their hundredth year. No suggestions have come yet, but that is the nature of centennials. They slip quietly past while we are engaged in the present. Studying history has given me something of a distrust for centennials, anyway. Humanity has a long record of attaching importance to things long after the fact and then deciding the date an event must have happened (as with Christmas). Add complications like international date lines (for Pearl Harbor) and leap years, and the whole idea that a specific event took place exactly 100 years ago on this date gets a bit wiggly. My new attitude is that, for any given date, something took place in our neighborhood on the same date 100 years ago, so we can have a party if we want. Now while the rest of you are looking for your togas I will shift to the educational part of this program. To continue the centennial theme, the lesson today is a review of the Tyler Park items in the 1914 edition of Caron's Directory of the City of Louisville, a publication available at the library and at the University of Louisville. By 1914, Caron’s was highly evolved as an information source. Its pages listed public and private organizations, by category, and had both alphabetic and by-address listings of who and what you could find in Louisville. A fairly quick scan of its pages showed the following entries for our neighborhood:• The Subdivisions entries listed Castlewood, west of Baxter

Avenue and on both sides of Eastern Parkway.• The Apartment House entries listed “The Beechwood”, at 1646

Beechwood, and the Goddard Apartments, at 1505 Rosewood.• Entries for “Hospitals, Asylums and Homes” listed the German

Protestant Orphans Home at the site of the present Mid City Mall.

• A list of schools included the I. N. Bloom Elementary as the “Lucia Av School”.

• Entries for “Catholic Institutions, Convents, Asylums, etc.” listed the St. Angela Home and the Ursuline Sisters, both at 1731 Edenside Avenue.

What may be of the most direct interest to current residents are street-by-street directories, which show who was living at each address. The following table lists the streets in our area, and the page number in the 1914 Caron’s where the street’s entries begin. The house numbers should be consistent with current addresses.

A Brief History and the Big News at the Highlands-Shelby Park Library

A Courier Journal article on May 31, 1901 announced that a meeting had been called at the Highland Baptist Church to “perfect arrangements for a reading room and free library in the Highlands.” The article goes on to say that “officers and directors will be elected this evening and the enterprise put upon solid ground.”

In another Courier Journal article, this one dated October 12, 1904, it is reported that one of the trustees of the Carnegie Public Library, John Stites, announced that a branch of the Carnegie Library would be established in the Highlands and merged with the Highland Library. “The chapel of the Highland church was well filled, and Mr. Stites’ announcement was received by all with great enthusiasm.”

Opening ceremonies for the Highland Library located at 1000 Cherokee Road were held February 8, 1908. The Shelby Park Library, also a Carnegie branch and located at 600 East Oak Street, was dedicated on March 27, 1911. Ultimately these two branches merged to become the Highlands-Shelby Park Library, which opened on January 24, 1994 in the old Taylor Drugstore space in the Mid-City Mall. Several dignitaries spoke at the opening, including Tom Owen, who pointed out that he had insisted on having a picture window into the mall so that the library would be very visible.

The Teen Outpost, designed to provide teenagers with their own dedicated resources and services, opened on November 19, 2001. The Outpost was the first of its kind for LFPL and operated independently of the Highlands-Shelby Park Library, having its own manager and staff, but in about 2009, The Outpost became part of the Highlands-Shelby Park Library.

Currently there are plans to renovate the library space in the spring of 2014. We have not been given a closing date, but I do know that when the time comes, everything will happen very quickly (for example, the manager of the Shively Library was given only ten days’ notice). As such, we have started asking patrons to think about which other libraries they would like to have their reserves delivered to, etc. The branches closest to us are: Main, Crescent Hill, St. Matthews, Bon Air, and Newburg. -- Rachel Smith, Branch Manager, Highlands-Shelby Park Branch of Louisville Free Public Library
