Baptist Hospital East intends to proceed with a plan to move its employee day-care center to a house it owns on Browns Lane — brushing aside the opposition of area homeowners and of the St. Matthews city council. The council has no jurisdiction,
hospital campus, next to a site where the hospital is constructing an eight- story, $129 million building with 112 beds. Baptist East says it needs that site for parking. Hospital officials said last week that they will move forward with their effort to get the conditional but has made its objections known to the L o u i s v i l l e Metro Board of Zoning Adjustment, which would have to issue a “conditional-use” permit to allow operation of the day-care center in a residential area. Council member Tony Weiter said 40 residents signed a petition against the proposal. Baptist East officials have met twice with concerned neighbors, who say they don’t want more noise and traffic and would like to preserve the neighborhood’s residential nature. The house, next to a hospital office building at Browns Lane and Kresge Way, is now used for meetings and for putting up hospital guests. Baptist East wants to expand the building by 8,000 square feet and to add a playground for 130 children. The current day-care facility is just across Kresge Way, on the main
use permit. They said they will send a notice to the people of the neighborhood and discuss the plan further with the council. A spokesman for the hospital said there are no deed restrictions that would disallow its use as a day- care facility. The council plans to send a letter of opposition to the zoning- adjustment board, which will schedule a public hearing before voting on the proposal.
Council will fight proposal before Metro zoning board

St. Matthews Corner, at Bauer Avenue, is not actually in St. Matthews, but is nonethe- less a significant step in the renewal of the Lexington Road retail corridor.
The south side of Lexington Road also has been spruced up, and is busier than ever.
The building’s facade, featuring the Greek god Hercules, was salvaged from Chicago’s old Flamingo Hotel.
The Heart of St. Matthews pro- ject has brought more parking, new stores and better pedestrian ameni- ties, sparking a new sense of commercial vitality in the historic area known as “The Point.” The retail section of Lexington Road, in recent years a conspicuous eyesore, is one of the areas given new life by the joint St. Matthews-Louisville Metro pro- gram. Phases 1 (St. Matthews’ share: $237,324) and 2 ($125,009) are essentially complete; stay tuned for phase 3 ($320,000).
Two St. Matthews police officers were honored for bravery and hero- ism during the Feb. 13 meeting of the city council. Detective Larry Alvey and Officer Tony Ward, both of whom attended the meeting, were congratulated by Police Chief Norm Mayer, Mayor Bernie Bowling Jr. and the entire council. Alvey was driving in St. Matthews on Dec. 21 when he smelled and saw smoke. He investigated, found the scene of a house fire and called the city dispatcher to report the location. He was told that the St. Matthews Fire Protection District was res- ponding, but was still some distance away. Seeing a homeowner in the front yard, Alvey asked whether anyone was inside. He was told that a man was in the basement of the burning home. Without regard for his own life, Alvey entered the home, searched unsuccessfully for the man, then went back outside to get more information from the homeowner. He then entered the home yet again, found the man and led him to safety. Neither Alvey nor the rescued man was seriously injured. On Jan. 24, Officer Tony Ford and Bellarmine University intern Mandi Flatt were driving downtown to interview an accident victim when a motorist flagged them down and told Ford she was taking her child to Kosair Children’s Hospital when he’d stopped breathing. Ford rendered first aid and transported the boy to Children’s Hospital. Flatt assisted by talking to the boy to keep him conscious during the drive. In a follow-up call, the boy’s mother said he was doing very well.

We know it’s cold, but ... Don’t leave your car running while you’re not in it. Not only is it an invitation to car thieves; it’s also illegal.
Workplaces and grocery stores are places where people are inclined to leave personal items unattended, thereby losing them to opportunistic thieves. St. Matthews police officers have been featured on local TV news warning about such carelessness. Be alert; the police don’t need that kind of on-air time.
Spring is coming. Don’t forget that St. Matthews homeowners must maintain the grass alleyways behind their homes; i.e., keep them mowed. Keeping the alleys trimmed up discourages rodents and provides essential access to utility companies.
Drivers: Please don’t ignore stop signs. People in some parts of St. Matthews seem to think they’re optional, but drivers and bicyclists alike must come to a complete stop — for safety’s sake.
The city’s pet ordinance requires that dogs and cats be kept on leashes when outside their (fenced) yards, and that dog owners keep their pets from barking and howling, especially at night.
If you need to dispose of large appliances (stoves, refrigerators, etc.), call Waste Management at 966-0117 to schedule a pickup. Park all cars and other vehicles — including those offered for sale — in driveways, not on easements or on rights- of-way.
Please don’t set cans and bags of garbage out any earlier than the night before pickup.
