And here we are again, it’s Thunder Over Louisville time. Has it really been a year already?
The weather gods look to be smiling on us for this year’s version: clear skies, 75 degrees and an unlimited ceiling are perfect ingredients for a successful air show and fireworks blowout.
Jeffersonville is pulling out all the stops. For the first time the city is hosting a national-
caliber performing artist at RiverStage. Thunder Throwdown — don’t you love that name? — will feature up-and-coming act Chris Lane, along with Wildwood and the Shane Dawson Band, in a free concert.
You can find the details in today’s cover story.You can also expect to find the usual array of vendors
to offer their fares to the roughly 70,000 visitors expected at the riverfront. Vendors, selling fair-style food, pizza and ice cream, will set up shop on Riverside Drive
between Spring Street and the Clark Memorial Bridge, Elizabeth Beilman explains.
Also new to Jeffersonville this year is Fisher-man’s Wharf, the newly renovated marina next to the RiverStage. Boat slips were auctioned off through the city, so they won’t be open to the public. But there’s plenty of open space for people to camp out for the day.
It’s no secret Clarksville’s Ashland Park of-fers the best views of Louisville’s skyline. Be sure to visit newsandtribune.com for compre-
hensive coverage of related road closures traffic informa-tion.
Then sit back and enjoy all Thunder has to offer.

OOOOHHH.... ....AAAAAHHH
SOUTHERN INDIANA — For the 27th time, the nation’s largest annual display of pyrotechnics will burst over the Ohio River.
Thunder Over Louisville isn’t just for Kentuckians — South-ern Indiana will be ready to host tens of thousands of people Satur-day to watch the fireworks and air show and otherwise just have a good time.
Whether it’s reserving a seat at one of Jeffersonville’s riverfront restaurants, enjoying a country music performance at the River-Stage or enjoying the expected sunny afternoon at Ashland Park in Clarksville, there’s no shortage of things to do in Southern Indiana.
JEFFERSONVILLEExpecting somewhere between 50,000 to 70,000 visitors, several
blocks of riverfront streets will be blocked off as an event space Saturday, beginning at 8 a.m.
Vendors, selling fair-style food, pizza and ice cream, will set up shop on Riverside Drive between Spring Street and the Clark Memorial Bridge. Food won’t be sold in front of homes or busi-nesses but will cluster at intersections, in open areas and under the Interstate 65 bridges.
Vendors will open for business at 11 a.m. and stay open until the fireworks show at 10 p.m. is over.
This year, up-and-coming act Chris Lane, along with Wildwood and the Shane Dawson Band, will perform a free concert at the RiverStage.

Behold your guide to Thunder Over Louisville eventsIt’s called the Thunder Throwdown, and it’s hosted by Q103.1’s
Jess Tyler and Summit Media. Gates open at noon and the show begins at 5 p.m.
Sara Simpson, director of the RiverStage and special events for the parks department, said RiverStage hosted a local band a few years ago before Thunder Over Louisville. This year is the first that a national act will perform.
“We have a great partnership with Summit Media and 103.1, and they had presented the opportunity to us,” Simpson said. “And we decided it was something we’d like to try and if it works out well this year, make it an annual event.”
She expects at least 5,000 to congregate on the lawn for the show.“I think it’s definitely going to attract people just to the concert,”
she said. “We’ve had great response to it on social media, and the radio station has been promoting it pretty hard.”
This year is also the debut of Fisherman’s Wharf, the marina in downtown Jeffersonville.
Boat slips were auctioned off through the city, so they won’t be open to the public. But there’s plenty of open space for people to camp out for the day.
“It’s a nice, new greenspace, and I think that people will use that for Thunder viewing,” Simpson said.
Planning for Thunder Over Louisville is pretty standard for Jeffersonville officials now. Simpson said the police and fire depart-ments play a large role.
“They’re ready for a great event for sure,” she said.

NEW ALBANY — From 10 a.m.
to 5:30 p.m. Saturday, April 30, the
Carnegie Center for Art and History,
201 E. Spring St., New Albany, in-
vites the public to visit the Center’s
new Morrison Gallery. This new
gallery for temporary exhibits will
occupy part of the same space that
housed the Yenawine Dioramas, now
on display at the New Albany-Floyd
County Public Library. April 30 is
also the last day of the New Albany-
Floyd County Secondary Schools Art
Show and Competition, which will
be on view in the Carnegie Center’s
main galleries beginning Saturday,
April 16, according to a Carnegie
news release.
The inspiration for the Morrison
Gallery is the 14 paintings by George
W. Morrison that were transferred
from the New Albany-Floyd County
Public Library to the Carnegie
Center (a department of the library).
Many of the Morrison paintings are
in need of conservation and plans
are underway to conserve them to
museum quality standards. Because
of space limitations and varying
degrees of condition, not all of the
Morrison paintings will be on public
view at the Carnegie Center at the
same time.
Although the majority of the paint-
ing collection transferred from the
New Albany-Floyd County Public
Library consists of works by Mor-
rison, there are also works included
from other significant Southern In-
diana painters. James L. Russell and
Paul Plaschke, two artists associated
with the “Wonderland Way” school
that congregated around Russell’s
New Albany studio, are represented
in this collection. A large oil on
canvas portrait of the poet James
Whitcomb Riley by fellow Wonder-
land Way artist Ferdinand Graham
Walker is also included.

Three firefighters spenttwo weeks in New York

JEFFERSONVILLE —A group of Jeffersonvillefirefighters have returnedfrom helping out with Hur-ricane Sandy recovery andsaid help there is ongoing.
Jeffersonville Fire De-partment Maj. Michael Mc-Cutcheon, Maj. TravisSharp and Capt. RickVanGilder spent nearly twoweeks in Long Beach,N.Y., organizing relief ef-
than 30,000 people follow-ing the October hurricane.
The work was more pa-per-filing than pulling peo-ple from homes, but theirservices were greatly need-ed as the entire four-milelong island had been cov-ered by water during thesurging storm.
JFD Chief Eric Hedricksaid the need for relief serv-ices — after initial crewsconduct search and rescueefforts — are often under-estimated.
“After immediate re-sponse to save lives, thereare still efforts needed formonths and months,”Hedrick said.
