Owen. The event will take place at the Charlie Vettiner Golf Course’s clubhouse and is open to the public. Mr. Owen served as a Head Golf Professional within the Louisville Metro Parks System for 37 years. His leadership over the years led to the growth and development of the Charlie Vettiner Golf Course into one of the best courses in Kentucky as well as helping to grow its youth program into one of the largest in the community. What: Dedication of memorial plaque honoring Carl E Owen Who:  Councilmen Stuart Benson, Councilman Robin Engel, Larry Jones, Skipper Marten as well as family and friends of Carl E. Owen. Where: Charlie Vettiner Golf Course Clubhouse (10207 Mary Dell Lane) When: 10 a.m. Friday, July 26, 2019 Information regarding the life and accomplishments of Mr. Carl E. Owen Mr. Carl E. Owen graduated from Shawnee High School in 1957 where he lettered in both Golf and Basketball. He attended the University of Kentucky on a golf scholarship. Carl turned professional in 1961 and began his career as an assistant golf pro under Fithian Shaw at Owensboro Country Club. His golf career was briefly interrupted in 1962, when he was drafted into the U.S. Army.  Carl served two years of active duty and four years in the Army Reserve. After he finished his two years of active duty, he was hired as an assistant to Gordon Leishman at Idlehour Country Club in Lexington, KY.  He worked at Idlehour from 1964 to 1967. In May, 1967 he was hired by Charlie Vettiner as the Head Golf Professional of the new 9 hole Chenoweth Golf Course.  Carl remained as the Head PGA Golf Professional for over 37 years until his retirement in 2004.  His dedication to the youth, the golf course, & all who played here was fulfilling & exemplary. Carl had many accomplishments during his career, but his greatest joy was the development of young juniors that worked for him & the junior golfers in his programs. This is Carl’s lasting legacy.  At one time, Charlie Vettiner had the largest junior program in the Metropolitan area. He taught these youth much more than golf.  He was their teacher, their mentor, and a positive role model.  He was a fill in parent and head cheerleader to them all.  He taught them that love and respect for their families, along with their education, were paramount.  Some of these players went on to play collegiate golf, some won major tournaments, some even became head PGA professionals.

Eastern Parkway Study Public Meeting

Eastern Parkway study to look at updating the corridor First public meeting to be held July 11   LOUISVILLE, Ky. (June 27, 2019) – The first public meeting will be held July 11 to collect public input to a project aimed at updating the Eastern Parkway corridor between Cherokee Park and Crittenden Drive to make it safer and more user friendly to motorists, transit users, pedestrians and bicyclists while improving drainage and landscaping. The Eastern Parkway Transportation Study is being funded through a $500,000 federal Transportation Alternatives Program grant awarded to Louisville in 2017 and matched with Kentucky Transportation Cabinet toll credits. The study will consider such elements as sidewalk and curb improvements, shared use pedestrian paths, bike connectivity and other complete streets alternatives aimed at accommodating the transportation modes of all users of the corridor. Frederick Law Olmstead’s firm designed Eastern Parkway more than 100 years ago as a recreational traffic link to one of Louisville’s biggest parks. That design did not contemplate what is now up to 17,000 motorists using the road each day along with the walkers and bicyclists. The study is aimed at updating the parkway to better accommodate all modern users while being respectful of the original parkway characteristics. Completion of the study is anticipated in the summer of 2020. It will include recommendations on design elements and associated cost estimates. The Gresham Smith engineering and design firm is leading the study under the direction of Public Works project manager John Swintosky. Public meeting will be: July 11, 2019 5 p.m. to 7 p.m. Audubon Traditional Elementary School Gymnasium 1051 Hess Lane Louisville KY 40217
