THE RIGHT TUNE: LOUISVILLE NATIVE & RENOWNED GUITARIST, JEFF SHERMAN, TALKS MUSICAL CAREER

If James Brown was the hardest working man in show business Jeff Sherman might be the hardest working guitarist. He’s been a busy, in-demand guitar wizard since he was a teenager giving lessons to neighborhood kids. And between playing in rock ‘n’ roll bands of the day, teaching, working with the Louisville Orchestra, recording, going on tour with Marvin Gaye and a pair of shows with the infamous Italian tenor Luciano Pavarotti, Sherman hasn’t marched to anything but a fast and steady drumbeat for nearly 57 years.

HELP IS ON THE WAY JEFFERSONTOWN GETS ITS OWN AMBULANCE SERVICE Writer / Tyrel Kessinger

If you’re anything like me, you’ve never wondered where ambulances come from just so as long as they come from somewhere. But in fact, most communities in Louisville, and Kentucky in general, don’t have their own first responder service and are ultimately “farmed” out to thirdparty contractors. In this, Jeffersontown is no different. Though on April 16, that all began to change as J-Town will begin managing its own ambulance services for the community.

The man spearheading this new direction of a fully self-dependent Jeffersontown (at least in terms of public services) is James

Sebastian, Chief Deputy and 30-year veteran of the Jeffersontown Fire Department. And there’s certainly no one better qualified to assess Jeffersontown’s need for their own ambulances. He’s seen it all, up close and personal and from the ground floor.

we believed the citizens of Jeffersontown deserved a better response. So what we did about a year and a half ago was that we started the process for new ambulances.”

It took almost two years, but in December of 2017 Jeffersontown was awarded approval for its “application certificate of need” for its very “During the last several years we have seen the increase in emergency response when it own transport service. Sebastian spent his comes to hospital transport from emergency time doing background work. incidents and—“ Sebastian pauses and a “We found out how much ambulances cost radio hiss can be heard in the background. and how much the equipment would cost,” As if on cue he tells he may be getting a “call” right now before dismissing it. “Sorry he says. “After they [Metro] approved it we about that,” he says before picking back started buying the equipment to prepare right back up. “Anyway, ambulance times ourselves for that next step of transporting were getting longer due to the increased injured people from the community to the run volume in all of Metro Louisville and hospital in a timely manner. We’ll have two

brand new ambulances that we purchased from Horton Ambulance Service.”

“Really, we purchased three,” Sebastian adds. “Two to respond and one as a reserve for general maintenance and such.”

Sebastian’s desire to establish Jeffersontown’s own ambulance service is due to two things: his love for the town and his belief that its citizens deserve the best, fastest and most accessible first response healthcare and subsequent transportation.

As such, he’s also taking steps to protect against the pitfalls so often encountered in the EMS field.

“Louisville Metro did 144,000 runs last year, approximately,” Sebastian says.

“That means every ambulance they have is running 24-hours a day, seven days a week. Something we’ve seen is emergency responders can get burned out easy and the thing that we’re also doing in our own district is that we’re sending out some of our own firefighters to paramedic class to get certified to provide that additional medical care. When you see a fire truck you’re going to have a paramedic on there also. With that advance medical care and the ambulances, we can provide a much more timely transport.”

Currently, Jeffersontown uses Yellow Ambulance, a popular third-party contractor for its services. To prepare for this takeover, Sebastian plans to have J-Town’s ambulances up and running two weeks prior to the end of Yellow’s contract, which was scheduled for May 1.

But Sebastian isn’t worried. In fact, he practically guarantees success.

“We anticipate the 4,400 runs a year in the Jeffersontown area, as in taking someone to the hospital,” he says. “We’ll have to prepare ourselves for the run volume but I know we can provide a better service. And we’ll be providing access to two ambulances.”

For those wondering the exact size of boundaries in terms of the Jeffersontown ambulance jurisdiction, Sebastian explains it precisely: “When we put in the certificate

“THIS NEW AMBULANCE SERVICE DOES MAKE JEFFERSONTOWN, AS A COMMUNITY, A ONE-STOP SERVICE WHEN IT COMES TO POLICE SERVICE, PUBLIC WORKS, FIRE AND EMS.” - JAMES SEBASTIAN, CHIEF DEPUTY -

of need it was for the Jeffersontown City Limits and the Jeffersontown Fire District.

The city limits are right around nine square miles and the fire district being a total of 25 square miles. And they do overlap a little bit.”

It’s obvious Sebastian is both excited and proud of this new endeavor, not only for the immediate medical benefits this new step will provide for Jeffersontown but what it means for the community’s bigger picture.

“This new ambulance service does make Jeffersontown, as a community, a one-stop service when it comes to police service, public works, fire and EMS,” Sebastian says. “We do everything here and there are not too many agencies in the state of Kentucky that can provide all of those services. We believe that citizens of the community deserve the best service, the best care possible. And we also believe that is our obligation to step up to the plate and provide that service.”

LOCAL FUNK BAND HAS TIES TO EAST END Writer / Shannon Siders

On any given night, there are bands playing sets across bars, restaurants and music venues in Louisville, representing a wide array of genres. Shaun Wallace saw a hole in the market in the summer of 2011 and set out to fill a niche. From there, Soul Circus arose as the region’s premier groove band.

“The bands in Louisville mostly play a very similar setlist,” Wallace says. “When we started out, I wanted to play more of the funk genre, groove music. Nobody else is playing that stuff in the city of Louisville at all, so it helps set us apart.”

Soul Circus grew from a five-piece band, eventually adding a horn section. Wallace serves as the frontman of the group on main vocals and also manages the business side of the band. His father, Steve “Pop” Wallace”, also does some vocals and plays guitar.

The band’s current lineup is rounded out

by Mike Vest (saxophone), Earl Dickerson (bass guitar and vocals), Tim Flowers (lead guitar), David Hoback (drums) and Felipe Hernandez (percussions).

Soul Circus has averaged about three shows a week over the last six and a half years and even had a stretch where they played 15 shows in 15 days. With over 150 shows a JUNE 2018

year, and practices thrown on top of that, Soul Circus has had a lot of time to perfect their craft.

“By the time we play a song three or four times, we’ve got it figured out,” says Wallace, who has an interesting approach to playing new songs.

“I tell the guys to learn a song. They come out, play that song at a practice, and I say, ‘That was great, sounds just like the record, now throw that all away and play how you feel it.”

Wallace’s aim is to hold true to the song but to change the way it is played. He says

the song is different each time it’s played because each band member puts their own spin on things.

Soul Circus operates under the tagline “groove, funk, and grease” and plays a setlist highlighted by classics from Earth, Wind & Fire, Parliament-Funkadelic, Prince, and Ohio Players, as well as new takes on more contemporary artists like Bruno Mars.

“I think the best way to gain traction is to play something nobody else is playing that we can make relevant for a current audience,” Wallace says.

“I never really played until 2008,” Wallace says. “The economy went bad, and dad and I were in construction together at the time. Money dried up and we both had big mortgages to pay.”

Before long, the duo was playing five nights a week and enjoying a steady cash flow.

His plan was to teach Wallace how to play bass in the time before construction company, Walco Custom the first gig.

Wallace and his bass, and I’d never played bass before,” bandmates enjoy giving back and playing Wallace says. “I dove into music because we benefits for their friends in the community

While the band channels funk and soul through their music, they have stayed away from wearing costumes on stage.

“I want to be who we are, making the music we want to make,” says Wallace, who is often seen wearing jeans and Chucks at shows.

“I didn’t want us to be a hokey band that dressed up. That’s just not us.”

Soul Circus got its name from a 2005 album of the same name released by popular funk bass player Victor Wooten. Wallace’s start in music actually came a few years after the release of that album, following the 2008 financial crisis.

While growing up in Jeffersontown, Wallace picked up a little guitar from his father, who was a traveling musician but never took it very seriously.

and especially relish seeing the joy on the faces of the audience when they perform.

“For me, it’s about the brotherhood that I have with my bandmates, and the fraternal brothers and sisters we have in the music community in Louisville,” Wallace says.

“Being able to look out offstage and see a sea of people dancing and grooving to my music, smiling and having a great time, that is so rewarding and fulfilling for me.”

Wallace has also been involved with the Musician’s Emergency Resource Foundation (MERF) over the last three years and was recently named president of the organization.

Wallace has enjoyed staying close to his roots and playing shows in the town he’s called home his entire life.

“I’ve lived all over the city, and I’m attached to people all over the city,” Wallace says. “I can walk into a bar anywhere around town and know people there. This is home.”

Soul Circus is going strong leading up to their seventh anniversary. A full lineup of upcoming shows can be found at the band’s website, soulcircusband.com.

Louisville Golf Club Company Creates Handmade Clubs Writer / Tyrel Kessinger

In the nearly 45 years they’ve been in operation, the Louisville Golf Club Company has seen its share of ups and downs. But the company, created by Elmore Just in 1974, has also carved a niche for themselves throughout the world of golf.

No one knows this better than Nancy Silk, unofficial company historian and an employee since the beginning.

“Elmore Just founded the company after he got out of the army,” Silk says. “He worked at H&B for a year and then decided he could do this himself. So he started doing the business in his dad’s garage. He was one of five boys, all who were golfers, and all of his brothers have worked here. When he passed away in 2001 his brother Mike took over.”

Sadly, In January 2016, Mike passed as well and the company went up for sale.

In January 2017, Jeremy Wright and his wife Yin-Yin, living in Houston at the time, bought the company, keeping the same onboard staff employed prior to his purchase. Wright, now living in Louisville, is, as you would suspect, an avid golfer and was already a long-time admirer of the Louisville Golf Club Company.

“When the offer to buy the company came up I was highly interested,” Wright says.

“It’s certainly a passion and I have also been a customer. For me, the opportunity was there and at the right time. I was in medicine before, I was a consultant for spinal reconstruction therapy, and I had come to the point where I was tired of that and ready for a change. And it worked out.

We’re thankful we’re here.”

JUNE 2018

While the bare bones mechanics of golf hasn’t changed since its invention, buyers’ habits certainly have. Where once the avid golfer might have custom sets made they eventually began to favor mass-produced sets available at stores such as Dick’s and Sports Academy. This development led to a major industry downturn for club makers like the Louisville Golf Club.

Over time, the employee roll fell to a fraction of it’s original count over time and the amount of produced clubs fell dramatically.

“We have four guys in the back now who have all been here between 40 and 44 years, and we have three of us up front,” Silk says. “Back in the mid-80s, we had 125 employees. We were making about 800 clubs a day then. Now, we’re probably doing a couple hundred a month.”

Elmore managed to keep the business afloat through the leaner years, at one point having to sell the company but regaining it a few years later. It was shortly thereafter when Mike became the president of the company. Ultimately, two things provided the company with the resources to stay in the club-making game. One, they were, and still are, quite known for their putters, custom made and custom inscribed with anything from wedding dates to business logos. The second was due to the rise of hickory only golf tournaments and its hardcore devotees.

“In 2003, Mike went to a hickory tournament and got bit by the hickory bug,” Silk says. “So he started buying hickory clubs and having them sent back where he would fix them up and make them playable. As he got into it, so did a lot of other people throughout the country and the world. Unless you were able to spend thousands of dollars on originals, it was a hard game to get clubs and play. So we started making replicas.”

“Hickory saved the company,” Wright adds. “That’s what’s driving the business

right now.” Wright is, expectedly, an avid golfer and one who has also developed and maintained a devotion to the world of hickory golfing.

The clubs at the Louisville Golf Club Company all begin as a block of wood, which is then cut and pared to a basic head shape. The same process is completed for the shaft. Through various workstations, the club head is more completely shaped, sanded, plated, painted and coated in shellac before being paired with its respective shaft.

employs have the creation of their distinct hickory clubs down to an artistic science.

What starts out as a simple block of wood eventually becomes a beautiful piece of art.

Art that is destined to be dent and dinged on the golf course, but art nonetheless.

Wright explains the process further: “We start with the raw persimmon wood, we rough turn it out and that’s when the process starts,” Wright says. “They get weighed and sorted and that way we know if they’re going to make drivers of 3 woods or 5 woods, whatever the block is going to be best utilized as. Then, based on our production needs that block will go onto one of our lines to be made. We carry probably 80 to 100 different models that any given block can be turned into.”

And while the company business model and level of production has changed over the years, Wright has still found a way for it to grow.

“I kind of like to think of us as more of a craft brewery versus your big breweries like Budweiser or Coors,” Wright says.

“We’re just a small craft golf company. It’s handmade, it’s very specialized, it’s tailormade to the individual. It’s a personal touch that we add that you can’t get in the big retail stores.

“People love that,” Silk says proudly. “They feel as if they’ve designed their own clubs.

And we love that. We love what we do and we see how happy our customers are. So that makes all this worthwhile.”

“We’re a unique company,” Wright adds.

“In the fact that we do everything from the modern perspective of persimmon. We don’t do metal woods. I don’t know of any other company that focuses on that. It’s everything from modern style down to the pre-1900s. So it’s a big portfolio of products we carry and it’s all kind of niche at this point. We’re the only company continuously turning wood golf heads.”

LOUISVILLE NATIVE & RENOWNED GUITARIST, JEFF SHERMAN, TALKS MUSICAL CAREER Writer / Tyrel Kessinger

If James Brown was the hardest working man in show business Jeff Sherman might be the hardest working guitarist. He’s been a busy, in-demand guitar wizard since he was a teenager giving lessons to neighborhood kids. And between playing in rock ‘n’ roll bands of the day, teaching, working with the Louisville Orchestra, recording, going on tour with Marvin Gaye and a pair of shows with the infamous Italian tenor Luciano Pavarotti, Sherman hasn’t marched to anything but a fast and steady drumbeat for nearly 57 years.

Sherman, a lifelong Louisville resident, considers another famous musician the remembers distinctly his first guitar. And, like “spark” for his fascination with the guitar: many professional guitarists, the taste of the Ricky Nelson. magic a guitar in your hands can conjure.

“At the end of Ozzy and Harriet, Ricky “I got my first guitar when we were on a trip would always sing and play a song,” he says. to California with my family, and we went to “So here was a guy on TV doing that. I’d Mexico,” Sherman says. “So I got the guitar wait through the whole show, which didn’t there and spent the whole way coming back interest me that much, just to see Ricky at the end, singing and playing the guitar. So to the states wondering how you make this that was my spark.” thing work.”

Like most of Sherman’s musical contemporaries, Beatlemania and the British Invasion played a large part in his attraction to the guitar although he JUNE 2018

While Sherman’s gravitation to the six-string has its roots in rock ‘n’ roll, he eventually discovered his true love, jazz guitar, when a bandmate gave him two albums to listen to.

“One was by Howard Roberts, who later on would actually become one of my good friends, and one by Wes Montgomery,” Sherman says. “I put them on and I said ‘my gosh, I have no idea what that is or what they’re doing,’ but I knew I liked it and that it was good. Until then I’d never heard anything like that.”

Not only did Sherman go on to learn jazz guitar, one could easily say the man has mastered it. Though he’ll be the first to admit that it didn’t happen overnight.

“A lot of people come in and they seem to be really talented but you still have to fulfill the work to get that done and it was that way for me,” he says. “I was always good at math and science and athletics but not the guitar. I found it quite challenging. And I’ve had a number of students over the years like that too. You have to overcome all the physical aspects of playing the guitar just by working hard at it. That’s the only way you can overcome all of it.”

In 2012 Sherman left his teaching position at Bellarmine where he taught guitar in myriad formats for 40 years.

“I started teaching at Bellarmine in 1973. I taught guitar, electric guitar, jazz guitar, classical guitar, ensembles and improvisation. I designed a class called Jazz History and Racial Interaction which was a fun class. I was the director of jazz studies for a large portion of that period of time. In the meantime I was always playing steady jobs, playing anything that came along in the beginning.”

While he may not be an active professor anymore, Sherman still teaches full-time, with students anywhere from beginners to advanced pros, all seeking guidance from the master. Sherman has anywhere from 1215 students a day, giving lessons “strictly at the house, six days a week.”

“Back then, I’d charge them a buck, or I’d go to people’s houses for two dollars,” he says.

Sherman chuckles as he recalls a simpler time from his life. “It seemed like a lot at the time. But teaching was always another part of music to make a living from. Then I started to realize a couple things: You can learn the way people learn and you can apply that to yourself and that I liked being able to help people.”

It’s quite obvious he enjoys talking shop about his musical deeds and friendships with jazz guitar legends of the past and

present. His homey basement studio, much like his past, is swamped in musical history.

Pictures of Sherman and his friends playing and hanging out together consume the walls. Archtop hollowbody guitars, the overwhelmingly preferred jazz guitar model, rest comfortably in nearly every corner like old friends, waiting on the ready to be picked up and lovingly strummed. Each one has a story to tell, like his Wine Red Gibson Johnny Smith model that Gibson sent to replace a similar model which had been stolen from him when he’d turned his back for a matter of moments during a lesson several decades ago. He’s befriended and played with jazz guitar legends such as Attila Zoller, Howard Roberts and Tal Farlow, many of whom were inspirations in his journey to conquer the guitar. The man has led a full life that anyone, musician or not, would be wildly envious of.

While the aforementioned names might not mean much to those who aren’t jazz guitar enthusiasts, Sherman does have a couple of brushes with more widely celebrated names.

In the early 1970s he played a touring stint with soul singer Marvin Gaye.

“I always loved Marvin’s music, and Motown was kind of the closest thing to jazz,” Sherman says. “Marvin was very nice, always very nice to me. The smallest audience we played for was maybe 10,000 people. They’d line the stage with police and women would start getting on top of each other’s shoulders to get on stage and

JUNE 2018

the police were throwing them over their shoulders to carry them back and then another cop would fill back in.

“But maybe even bigger than playing with Marvin Gaye was playing a pair of shows with Pavarotti,” he adds.

It’s certainly an experience that Sherman remembers fondly, beaming again as he reveals another of his war stories.

“I played the two concerts at different times with Pavarotti and I was always right next to him on the podium,” he says. “And, you know, Pavarotti was a big guy. So when he would step down off the podium he had to put his hand on my shoulder. I was kind of his crutch to help him get off.”

Even today, after a non-stop lifetime as a professional musician, Sherman isn’t looking to merge out of the fast lane anytime soon. “I’m at Varanese every night of the week for the last 10 years,” he says.

Indiana’s Finest

“It’s pretty astounding. I’ve played with the [Louisville] Orchestra for about 40 years. Right now, I’m doing educational things with them. We go to schools and have a program for 4th and 5th graders.

We do between 10 and 20 schools, we go into the classrooms individually, we talk to the students about our instruments, about music, and I usually talk to them a little about the science of how sound is produced and about the history of jazz.

Then we come back and do a concert. It’s great for the kids. We involve them in a lot

of different ways.”

Born and raised in Louisville, Sherman is adamant that he is right where he belongs.

“It’s a perfect place for music from my standpoint,” he says. “It’s a pretty sophisticated town. There’s a lot of work here. You can get anywhere in a half hour or less and not have to take subways or hassle with parking. And, you know, I hear a lot of musician’s complain about there not being much work here but I play 400 jobs a year.”

- Steve Hatton

a bonus on top of what you spend, and the amount can be split among several patrons.

A family of four who spends $100 on games and attractions would get an extra $30!

“Our family was born and raised in Kentucky, and we are entrenched as Kentuckians,” says Malibu Jack’s Vice President Steve Hatton, whose father Vernon Hatton was a star on the 1958 University of Kentucky championship basketball team. “Malibu Jack’s is a local, family-owned business. We saw a need for an indoor facility and have had a great response from our Louisville visitors.”

Recharge your batteries and fuel up for another lap around the go kart track with a visit to Jack’s Cafe. Food choices include pizza, quesadillas and Dippin’ Dots, as well as several other snack items and beverages.

The premier indoor entertainment facility saw more than 300,000 visitors in 2017, for events such as birthday parties, corporate outings, high school prom and graduation after parties and everyday family fun.

Along with arcade games, Malibu Jack’s Louisville offers exciting attractions for all ages with go karts, laser tag, miniature golf, bumper cars, a 4-D Motion Theater and Bounce Beach, which provides a safe area for children under 10 years old to play.

With Malibu Bucks, you’ll get more as you spend more. Starting at $20, you’ll receive

“We’re trying to create memorable family experiences,” Steve says. “We want people to visit, have a great time and hopefully come back again.”

Malibu Jack’s is truly a family affair. Steve and his two brothers own and manage both locations, his wife serves as the birthday party director, his daughter runs the call center, his son Tyler is the Marketing Director and numerous other family members fill other roles.

“I’ve been a part of the family business since I was seven years old, so I’m used to working with my dad,” Tyler says. “It’s always a pleasure to work with family.”

Both Steve and Tyler enjoy the energetic

atmosphere and entertainment aspect of what they do.

“One thing I really enjoy is the interaction between parents and their kids,” Tyler says.

“I love hearing, ‘I feel like a kid again!’ from the parents.”

Malibu Jack’s aims to provide a safe, clean and fun facility that everyone can enjoy.

The friendly staff helps make the most of any visit and ensure visitors have the best possible experience.

“It’s great to work at a place where people are having a great time,” Steve says.

Looking to the future, plans are already underway to expand Malibu Jack’s Lexington, and the family hopes to add more space to the Louisville location as well.

- 11 p.m., Saturday 10 a.m. to 11 p.m. and Sunday noon - 8 p.m. For more information, visit malibujacks.net/louisville or call 502-883-0380.

Talking Tennis MATTHEW MATHES

Meet Plainview Tennis Center’s New Tennis Pro, Matthew Mathes Growing up in the east end, Mathes doesn’t remember a time in his life without tennis.

It’s the age-old question, “If you truly love it, His family loved and played the game as is it really work?” long as he can remember. Having a chance to show his love of the game day-in and For Plainview Tennis Center’s new tennis day-out at Plainview Tennis Center is the pro, Matthew Mathes, work and play are one perfect opportunity for Mathes. in the same.

“I grew up wanting to be a teacher,” Mathes Writer / Shannon Evanko

JUNE 2018

says. “Teaching the sport I love is the perfect mix of my two passions.”

Mathes’ wealth of knowledge and experience are an asset for anyone looking to learn the game or perfect their craft.

Matthew is a five-time adult USTA state champion, two-time Southern Sectional Champion/National Level Participant,

and he played tennis at Indiana University Southeast. Along with his titles, his experience includes a wealth of knowledge he acquired while working under Nick Bollettieri at Nick Bollettieri’s Tennis Academy in Bradenton, Fl. — one of the greatest academies for tennis in the United States, according to Mathes.

“I grew up wanting to be a teacher.

Teaching the sport I love is the perfect mix of my two passions.”

- MATTHEW MATHES

“I credit a lot of my success in the sport to Nick Bollettieri,” Mathes says. “While I worked at his tennis academy in Florida, I admired his passion and love for the game. I admired his unwavering love for the sport throughout his life, and I grew to love the game so much that it was no longer work.”

While Mathes enjoyed his time in Florida, he was happy to return to Louisville and settle down. He is now married with four kids, ages eight, six, five and three.

“I love teaching my kids, as well.”

Mathes says. “They all play tennis and enjoy hitting around as a family.”

The Plainview Tennis Center is a beautiful tennis facility hidden in east end of Louisville. According to Mathes, it’s a great facility with a terrific reputation. Mathes saw an opportunity to include a younger audience in tennis and knew the community desired to add to their available programs. He met with the Plainview team, who wanted the same thing: to bring in opportunities for tennis at all ages, from threeyear-olds to seniors. Now there’s something for all ages and all levels.

As a tennis pro, Mathes is tasked with creating programming while promoting and marketing himself until he gains students. Once he has students, he is planning and progressing with each student, individually, depending on their level.

different and bring a completely new challenge,” Mathes says. “I love that.”

For Mathes, his playing experience gives him helpful feedback for his students, knowing he’s been in their shoes.

“My students knowing I’ve been where they makes me relatable,” Mathes says. “They can truly know I’ve been there.”

Out of all that he admires about the sport, Mathes appreciates the social aspect of tennis the most.

“I love interacting with people, seeing them improve, watching your students learn and hearing their feedback,” Mathes says. “It combines the physical and mental aspects more than most sports, and there’s a great joy in all of it.”

To anyone with a hint of interest in tennis, Matthew wants you to know that tennis is a sport for life.

“It doesn’t matter how old you are.

You can start at any level and have leagues, teaching, the social aspect, fun and more for life,” Mathes says.

According to Mathes, Plainview Tennis Center is trying to do something a bit different. They desire to be a truly fun tennis center to go to, with music during tennis and a fun atmosphere for tennis players of all ages to come to. If you’d like to learn the ropes of the sport or improve your game, Mathes will be there to help.

CASA of the River Region is one of the most outstanding groups of individuals who are saving and changing children’s lives daily in Louisville. Non-profits often have trouble with advertising because the bulk of their resources, financial and otherwise, must be poured into helping those they aim to serve rather than promoting their organizations.

I did not know who or what a CASA was or that such an esteemed volunteer opportunity was available to me but once I heard, I was in fully committed.

Being a CASA is one of the most rewarding roles of my life and I am grateful I didn’t wait until retirement to get involved. You too may just be the next CASA and play your own role in changing a child’s life for the better.

A CASA is a Court Appointed Special Advocate who volunteers within the family court system to advocate for the rights of abused and neglected children.

Their motto is “I am for the child.”

The CASA movement began in 1977 when Seattle Superior Court Judge David Soukup was concerned about making life-changing decisions regarding juveniles with insufficient information.

He conceived the idea of citizen volunteers advocating for abused and neglected children in the courtroom.

The first program spawned a network of nearly 1,000 CASA and guardian ad litem programs. CASA Programs focus on the recruitment, screening, education, training and support of more than 75,000 volunteers in 49 states and the District of Columbia. Louisville is served by CASA of the River Region and is one of the most successful chapters in the country.

Unfortunately, Kentucky is also one of the states with the greatest need. The opiate epidemic and other substance abuse have created an environment where an increasing number of parents are unable to care for their children appropriately and the family court system is in constant need of volunteers. Over eighty percent

of child abuse and neglect cases involve substance abuse. In Jefferson County, social workers already carry a full caseload, and CASAs serve as an extra pair of eyes and ears on a case to help the judges stay informed on the status of their appointed children. IF a case changes hands between social workers, the CASA stays assigned to the child. A CASA is expected to see a case through from beginning to end. We do not close a case or remove ourselves from a case until there is resolution and permanent placement for the child.

JUNE 2018

A CASA collects information for the judge assigned to the case but also serves as a stable person in that child’s life. CASAs come from varying backgrounds, including public service, education or ministry.

CASAs may be parents, grandparents or those without children of their own.

You never know who may be serving as a CASA, giving a child a voice, and changing lives. The one thing all CASAs have in common is that they care, they act in a child’s best interests, they enjoy serving and they’re committed.

Do you think you may be interested?

You can learn more about becoming a CASA by attending one of the CASA 101 sessions. Dates and registration for these can be found online or by calling the CASA office. You may not choose to become a CASA but may choose to help CASA by volunteering at some of their community events. CASA gets funding through grants, donations and the profits collected from various community events. The next event

After you have recovered from your Derby Celebrations, I encourage you to get connected today and see what CASA of the River Region has to offer. There is no shortage of need and certainly any help you could offer would be appreciated. You may just be the next superhero.
