PUBLISHER “Let yourself be silently drawn by the strange pull of what you really love. It will not lead you astray” -Rumi

elcome to the May issue! I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again, our deadlines roll around sooner than later. Once we get an issue to press, it’s onward and upward to the next one. I am continually amazed at the talent each team member possesses month after month. Everyone brings something new and different to the table. Change is constantly in the air swirling around what we do, and I believe this helps ensure each issue is the very best it can be. One of our recent changes has been the promotion of our Junior Art Director, Lane Levitch, to Art Director. Needless to say, I’m very proud, especially knowing that Lane has worked incredibly hard to earn the promotion. Despite the fact he’s one of my kiddos, I have made an extra effort to make sure someone else on the team initially interviewed Lane for the job to make sure he was qualified and would oversee the day-to-day responsibilities he would be in charge of. Through my lens, this has worked out beautifully. It has given me the opportunity to work with Lane and witness the talent and possibilities he can bring to our publication. “The secret of change is to focus all of your energy, not on fighting the old, but on building the new,” one of my very favorite quotes from Socrates. Preparing this issue has been such a pleasure. I was so pleased to learn I would have the opportunity to interview David Coors with Molson Coors and learn more about their Five Trail whiskey. That’s right, a well-known beer company has decided to venture into the whiskey business. Five Trail whiskey will use Coors malt and Rocky Mountain water from Golden, Colorado, as ingredients just like the roots of their legendary beer. Produced in partnership with the famous Bardstown Bourbon Company located in Bardstown, Kentucky, this is one whiskey you will be adding to your collection.

She rarely meets a stranger and always enjoys connecting with our advertisers with a warm and welcoming attitude (I like to say I’m her biggest fan). Amy Barnes is also one of our account executives who are out and about working with many folks in the local art scene. She is ready to help all of us reach our monthly goals with each issue we are working on. Myra Rose has joined our production team recently as our graphic design artist and has to be the sweetest person I have ever met. There are several other team members that I would like to recognize in a forthcoming issue because I’ve been told by our editor in chief that my word count for this note has exceeded the limit. Oops.

Daily Libations

A conversation with Casey Liston of Patrón Spirits By JOE DAILY | Photos by ANDREA HUTCHINSON

Tequila is super-hot right now. What separates Patrón from the pack?

elcome everyone, and thanks for joining us this month for Daily Libations! We sat down to chat with Casey Liston this month, representing Patrón tequila. She has been quite the whirlwind in the Louisville market, spreading the knowledge and joy of drinking the more refined tequilas out there!

So, let’s jump right in. Why is agave so important to tequila? Without agave, we wouldn’t have this incredibly unique spirit. It’s the source of all tequila and must be at least 51% Blue Weber Agave. There are tequilas made with 100% Blue Weber Agave like Patrón. The actual plant is enormous and has thick, spiky leaves that will cut you if you’re not careful. I remember watching a jimador uproot the plant, turn it on its side and chop all the agave with a shovel. He removed all the leaves in about a minute. It’s impressive to watch how quickly it’s done. It wasn’t until we arrived at the fields in Jalisco where Patrón Hacienda Distillery is that it made complete sense to me why it was called Blue Weber Agave—it was a beautiful sea of blue! 24

VOICE LOUISVILLE

| VO I C E -T R I B U N E . C O M

Besides quality, Patrón has a genuine, authentic story. Our founders, John Paul DeJoria and Martin Crowley saw a need for a higher-end tequila and acted on it in 1989. Like any entrepreneur knows, it wasn’t easy and to add to the complexity before he founded Patrón, John Paul founded Paul Mitchell Hair Care with $700, at the time he was homeless and living in his car. He used the extra money from that success to start Patrón Tequila. Wild, isn’t it? He became famous for what he built through the struggle, which is admirable. Now we have celebrities starting their own liquor brands. It’s interesting to see! Today, Patrón is in the ultra-premium category at 3 million cases a year. I think John Paul is the one you should be interviewing!

The packaging is unique and deﬁnitely stands out. What’s the scoop here? It’s always fun to see the bright-colored boxes on the shelves. We have a different color box associated with each spirit in our core lineup: Silver, Reposado, Añejo and Extra Añejo. The brand really came to life for me when I saw employees at the hacienda writing the bottle numbers on a sticker and hand placing them on each bottle. I watched them individually wrap each bottle in the colored tissue paper and place it in the box. 60 hands touch each of our bottles before it gets to the consumer. I enjoy unwrapping a new bottle of Patrón. It almost feels like you’re opening a special gift!

producing tequila and makes it clean throughout the facility. When Patrón began expanding the distillery, they came across thousands of lime trees along the way, so they reforested the trees and planted them in another location, which took months. We didn’t do this because you need a lime to drink tequila (trust me, you don’t always need a lime, or salt for that matter, haha!), but it was the right thing to do. Patrón cares about the environment and its employees.

Patrón is huge on zero additives. Want to shine a light on this topic? Joe Daily and Casey Liston.

Patrón is technically a roller mill and tahona wheel product. Mind to shed some light on that for our readers? Absolutely! We essentially blend two different tequilas to create our beloved Patrón Silver. When I say two different tequilas, this means two separate processes of crushing the pina, the heart of the agave plant, with all the tasty juices. The first we call the roller mill method; I like to describe the process as if you’ve put the baked pina on the end of what looks like a conveyor belt with spikes. It shreds all the agave and incorporates hot water to extract all the juices. The other method is the tahona method, where a two-ton volcanic rock will rotate to crush all the agave in a circular stone pit. Patrón is the top producer of tahona tequila globally, with 14 rotating at the distillery. The agave fibers are used in fermentation and distillation with tahona, so the notes you’ll pick up on your palette will be more robust, earthy and spicy. At the same time, the roller mill method doesn’t incorporate fibers throughout the process and will yield a more sweet, fruity ﬂavor. It’s the best of both worlds!

Yes, this is so important because consumers are becoming more conscious about what they’re putting into their bodies, and they should! I don’t think this is a “trend” going away. Patrón does not use any additives, and we never have from the beginning. We make sure to use high-quality agave because of our intentional selection of the best agave; why add anything to it? We don’t have to take those shortcuts or resort to less costly processes because we want to rush to the finish line; we stick to our

Patrón highlight’s a lot of marks on the green initiative. What are some of the steps you guys are taking towards sustainability and lowering your carbon footprint? Patrón composts 100% of the leftover agave fibers, creating around 5,000 tons of natural fertilizer. We use it to grow food in the gardens at the hacienda for our employees and give additional leftover fibers to other distilleries and farms. Patrón is the first to have a natural gas pipeline as the primary energy source and uses recycled hand-blown glass for its bottles. There’s also a state-of-art water treatment process that takes the stillage after

What’s your favorite part about working for Patrón in Kentucky (the Bourbon State)? Seems tough, ha!

Joe Daily and Casey Liston.

true artisanal craft. Patrón has been verified by Tequila Matchmaker as additive-free. It’s not legally required for tequila producers to put it on their labels, but you can have up to 1% of additives in the final product. That 1% can alter the look, taste and aroma significantly. Some of these additives include caramel coloring, oak extract, glycerin that can change the mouthfeel of a spirit, and jarabe, which are added sugars—talk about a hangover!

A lot of readers are going to want to know. What’s it like working for a tequila brand? It’s fun and hard work, as I’m sure all liquor reps know! I’m fortunate to work for such a successful brand that continues to grow and takes excellent care of its employees. It’s refreshing to represent tequila in bourbon country because people aren’t as familiar with tequila production. It gives me the opportunity to break it down for people if they want to learn about it. I think people want to know and learn more about the Mexican heritage. I never pass up a taco and tequila night!

What are the levels of Patrón you offer? The readers typically won’t know the difference, so a quick breakdown here.

My favorite part about working for Patrón is that we don’t cater to just one demographic, so no day is the same. I’m fortunate to work and learn from different people in the industry. I may work with a nightclub account who wants to collaborate on a bottle service experience, a pop-up event with our margarita bike at a taco spot, or a fashion show cross-promoting restaurants with featured cocktails on the runway. Whatever it is, I’m there! I enjoy creating brand experiences for the consumer. We know and drink our brown water in Kentucky, but others don’t prefer it. We’re also a tourist destination, so who’s to say travelers don’t come to town and expect our city to know about all spirits? Besides, it’s fun to bring something different to the table! Casey, thank you so much for sitting down with us to discuss all things, Patrón. Extremely informative as always! Cheers Everyone! JD

Patrón Extra Añejo Old Fashioned Ingredients 2 oz Patrón Añejo .25 oz Simple syrup 1 dash Bitters + Orange zest Method 1. Over a double old fashioned glass, use a vegetable peeler to take off two strips of orange zest, making sure to express the oil into the glass. 2. Add Patrón Añejo, simple syrup, and bitters. 3. Add ice—the biggest cubes you can find—and stir. 4. Adjust sweetness to taste.

We have our Patrón Blanco or Silver. This spirit is unaged. It goes straight from distillation to bottling. I like to think of it as a blank canvas. Once we age our tequila, we paint on that canvas meaning the spirit characteristics change with interaction with the wood. Reposado means rested in Spanish and is aged anywhere from three to five months. We blend in five different types of oak: a used American Bourbon, Hungarian, French Allier, French Limousin and our Hybrid Barrels. The Añejo has aged anywhere from 12-15 months, and the Extra Añejo is aged at least three years. All impart different aromas and tastes. There is something for every type of drinker!

Do you have a favorite cocktail right now? My favorite cocktail is the Patrón Extra Añejo Old Fashioned. When I order it at a bar, people look at me like I’m crazy. “An Old Fashioned with tequila?” I always laugh. Once they taste it, they’re amazed at how smooth it is. It stands alone well too. I pick up honey and oak notes on the front with citrus and peppery finish on the back end. It’s so good! 26

The VOICE of WHISKEY: Five Trail A conversation with Vice President of Next Generation Beverages for Molson Coors, David Coors By JANICE CARTER LEVITCH HUMPHREY Photos provided by MOLSON COORS

he VOICE of WHISKEY is being launched in this issue with the Vice President of Next Generation Beverages for Molson Coors, David Coors. The son of Pete Coors and great-great-grandson of Adolph Coors, who founded the Adolph Coors Company in Golden, Colorado, in 1873. In 2015 the Coors Company merged with Molson of

| VO I C E -T R I B U N E . C O M

Canada and is known today as the Molson Coors Beverage Company. You may ask why we are featuring a beer company in a feature about whiskey. Well, it just so happens that the Molson Coors Beverage Company has released its first full-strength spirit, a blended American whiskey made with Coors malt and Rocky Mountain water called Five Trail. In partnership with the Bardstown Bourbon Co., it was distilled

in Bardstown, Kentucky. The 95 proof, ultra-premium whiskey is premised on three factors: the spirit’s unbridled growth over the past couple of decades, building an affinity of beer drinkers for a whiskey produced by a brewery and the effort to create more premium offerings with the company’s portfolio. Let’s talk whiskey with the VOICE of WHISKEY, David Coors!

worked in the oil and gas business in West Virginia for a couple of years. I slept in my truck for several years more nights than my bed on top of mountains to experience the sunrises and sunsets and the fog in the valleys.

The new spirit Five Trail Whiskey from Molson Coors, which you spearheaded, has been getting positive reviews. Can you tell us about the inspiration behind the decision to venture into the whiskey business?

You must have many fond memories of growing up in the industry. Can you share with us a bit of what that was like? It was a pretty special kind of upbringing. When I was growing up, my dad ran the business. He started in the early ‘70s and always said we were in several states with only one brand. It was amazing the growth it went through as he led the business, especially in the ‘90s when I was growing up. When he traveled to work-related functions on the weekends, he took the entire family with him. Otherwise, we wouldn’t have time together. I’m the youngest of six, so you can imagine when Pete Coors showed up with all of us, it was something. We were going to rodeos, NASCAR races and all these wonderful events. It was such a treat to experience the industry from that kind of lens, get 30

VOICE LOUISVILLE

| VO I C E -T R I B U N E . C O M

to know the employees and distributors, and see how he engaged with those folks and consumers. It was just what life was. People will ask me what it was like to grow up a Coors, and I always thought just like everybody else.

I always tell the story that a little over 20 years ago, I was driving down the Golden Valley in Colorado around all the breweries with my dad. I was home on a weekend break from college, and I had been dabbling into whiskey a little bit. On a holiday break from Cornell, where I was attending college, I went on a hunting trip to southern Georgia. I was tired and had been playing lacrosse, my throat was sore, and I was beat up from the first semester. So my dad said here, and he poured me a glass of Crown Royal on the rocks. He said sip on this; it will soothe your throat. I had two Crown Royals on the rocks, and I woke up the following day; my cold was gone, and I was fresh as a bird. So I thought, hmm, there’s something to this. Now I’m not advertising it cures any health ailments, but that’s when I first got intrigued. As we were driving through the Golden Valley, I looked over at him, and he was driving a suburban with both hands on the steering wheel. Then I asked

When did you recognize you wanted to be part of the business? I was intrigued by the business and enjoyed being around it. My dad’s approach was never that you will be in this business or that it was what I had to do. He was very much about letting us forge our own paths and see what interests and passions we have. We have a family rule that we have to work outside the business for a minimum of two years before working inside the company. That is to be sure we enter into a position we are qualified for and manage the sense of nepotism. I

him why we don’t make whiskey, and he didn’t even look over at me to answer. He said, “we’re good at one thing and one thing only, that’s beer.” He kept driving, and I still kick myself, thinking, why did I not be more of a rebel? I could have had a 20-year-old whiskey by now. But I wasn’t a rebel. I took his answer, and we went back about our business. Still, that conversation has always stuck with me to this day. In 2019 when Molson Coors evolved their strategy to include beverages, I applied for the job to lead the Next Generation Beverage business, which includes wine, spirits and cannabis. I thought this could finally be my chance to get whiskey into the business. Then covid hit in 2020, and we had formed a strategy, then everything shut down. We didn’t have the resources to get into a space, and I was diagnosed with shingles. It was miserable, doctors were giving me pain killers, and it just wasn’t working. I was getting all these samples of whiskey

M AY 2 0 2 2

sent to me, and I started doing this countertop blending. It was numbing the pain, and I was working at the same time after I finished all my zoom calls. As I learned more about the categories and research, I became fascinated with numbers and trends. Then I came up with this blend that I fell in love with and had no idea who would partner with us to bottle it for us. Of course, we were getting stuff from MGP, and then I connected with Herb Heneman at Bardstown Bourbon Co. He used to work at Molson Coors, and we had worked together in the Chicago office back in 2012. I knew he was there, so one of our colleagues connected us. He was in Denver that summer of 2020. We sat down and had a burger together outside at a restaurant. He said we had to come to visit them, I had so much already sorted out and told him we’re fine. I said ok, I have this blend idea. I shipped it to them. Then we sat down for two days with Steve Nalley, myself, one of our master brewers and the Bardstown Bourbon Co. team.

We went on a journey for two days from the starting point to the finishing point.

For the whiskey novice, can you explain the nuances of the flavor profile of Five Trail? I love that the four different whiskeys that make up the blend for Five Trail take your palate on a journey. You can pick out each component. That first sip upfront is that sweet wheat bourbon, 45% of the blend, four years old from Indiana. It’s that caramelly, honey sweetness upfront, and then the four grain takes you through the mid-palate of the complexity. That’s 35% four-year-old four grain from Bardstown, giving it body and depth. Then I find the 15% finish is the four-year-old single malt from Colorado. I think that gives it this interesting kind of dry ginger finish. You have the overtones of the thirteen-year-old Kentucky bourbon that gives it a slight woodiness, depth, and color throughout all of it.

Kentucky is known as bourbon country. With so many established brands already available plus new brands often launching, what makes Five Trail stand out amongst all the others? One thing that has been a positive and a little bit of a challenge is that we have the single malt in the blend. People say it’s not bourbon, and you need it to be bourbon if you want it to sell. I understand the consumer dynamic and agree. However, we wanted the story to tie back to why Coors was making whiskey, and that’s how we leveraged our malt. We shipped water from the brewery to Bardstown, then packaged and proofed it down with water from the brewery. I didn’t want to source whiskey and slap a label on the bottle, and we wanted it to have a meaningful story. The uniqueness and finish we discussed earlier help it stand out and differentiate itself from the rest. A hope is that American blend whiskey can become more of a thing as people begin to venture beyond just bourbon and try to get more creative with the different sorts of blends.

We are probably too early into that curve to try and forge our way just yet. When I first started experimenting with the blends, I wanted to make sure that our single malt was part of the blend. Again, we wanted the story to make sense.

Do you have a special cocktail recipe for Five Trail to share?

Yes, a Manhattan. During covid, as I was exploring whiskey and started making cocktails at home, my wife fell in love with Manhattans. So I was creating Manhattans with Willett Rye. When we finally made Five Trail, one night, while I was making a cocktail, I switched out the Willett Rye for Five Trail. I mix it with dry and sweet vermouth, Five Trail, bitters and Luxardo cherries. At the end, I splash it with a bit of soda water to lighten it up. My wife noticed the 20 22 change and loved it even more, when I told her it was Five Trail. v

re you a lifestyle entrepreneur? Your life is in constant motion. Your lifestyle says who you are and what is important to you at various stages in your life. Crew Aviation can help you make the most of your time and your lifestyle.

What is a lifestyle entrepreneur? Many people are looking at success in a much different way. Rather than creating a business to make more money, lifestyle entrepreneurs develop businesses with a purpose. They are seeking a personal lifestyle that fits how they want to live. More time with family, personal fulfillment, hobbies, a stress-free job environment and greater productivity for working smarter, not harder. M AY 2 0 2 2

How can Crew Aviation help in supporting lifestyle entrepreneurs?

How does flying with Crew give me more time?

Crew Aviation can help by maximizing profit and productivity optimization. Whether you are interested in aircraft ownership and investment or using aviation charter to grow your business, we can help. We have experts on staff that can create a personal cost analysis of aircraft ownership and the benefits for you and your company. Many people are surprised at how flying privately vs. commercial airlines can save money by saving time. Time is valuable, and the more unproductive time business executives spend in airports, crowded commercial planes and transit to and from their destinations, thousands of dollars can be lost.

We help you create time and freedom to do things and live the lifestyle you want to live. Imagine not showing up at the airport two hours ahead of your flight time or being able to fly on your schedule. When you fly with Crew Aviation, you are in control of your schedule. You book the time of travel to the closest airport to your destination. There are over 5,000 airports in the U.S., but commercially scheduled aircraft only use around five hundred of those locations. Depending on the size of the aircraft and other conditions like weather, we will safely fly you into locations not accessible by commercial airlines, which will get you closer to your destination and save

the drive time to and from the airport. With the limitations of direct flights, you also avoid stopping to change aircraft and the layover time or potential flight delays.

What can I do with more time? Do you want more leisure time to enjoy golf? This is a question only you can answer! Maybe it is saying “yes” to meeting a potential new client in person. Perhaps let your kids or grandkids become the captain and choose the next adventure destination. Instead of a “bucket list,” create a “life list” and make plans with your friends to attend all three races in the Triple Crown. If spending quality time with your family is a priority, having more time allows you to volunteer to be the baseball coach for your child’s team or attend their special events without juggling the work/ life balance.

What else do Lifestyle Entrepreneurs enjoy when they fly with Crew? Lifestyle entrepreneurs are seeking a more stress-free lifestyle. Flying on your schedule, not dealing with airline delays, TSA, unruly passengers, and the ability to choose the people you want to travel with and the amenities you want while flying are only a partial list. The staff at Crew Aviation intends to ensure that your experience is as stressfree as possible. We can arrange ground transportation, security and hotel reservations. We act as your travel concierge in booking event tickets and planning special trips.

OICE Louisville sat down with local Real Estate Entrepreneur Nick Campisano. Nick is the Founder of the Development Firm “Campisano Capital” and the Investing Platform “Zyyo.”

Nick, we’ve been hearing your name for a while! It’s great to finally sit down with you. How would you describe yourself? The pleasure is all mine. I have always thought of myself as a “builder” at the intersection of construction, finance, and technology. I like to build companies, brands, properties, relationships, and experiences. My father is a General Contractor and he taught me the nuts and bolts of construction at an early age. My mother was a Human Resource Manager at General Electric for over thirty years and taught me how to build relationships. For eight years I built investment strategies as an investment banker. And my experiences in Venture Capital have taught me how to align new business models with untapped demand. I combine all of this with my passion for building designs and brands.

Please tell us a bit about your projects in Louisville? From a development perspective, I am a generalist that focuses on community engagement and pressing the boundaries of design. My largest current project is a $123MM mixed-use development in NuLu and my smallest is a $400K coffee shop in Clifton. No matter the size, all of my developments have the same goal, which is to elevate communities through balance, quality and long-term civic integration. By paying attention to an entire community instead of focusing exclusively on any singular development, I can protect small businesses and simultaneously recruit

VOICE LOUISVILLE

| VO I C E -T R I B U N E . C O M

large companies to join our market. Most of my developments are in NuLu, however recently I developed a $20MM Residence Inn hotel in the East End. I like to pay attention to areas near new bridges, and when they added the new East End bridge connecting 265 to southern Indiana, I knew this area was poised for long term growth. I was born in Prospect, so that bridge has been on my mind for about a decade. Fortunately, that project was a huge success. My NuLu projects range from Hancock to Shelby, and from Market to Jefferson. Over these two blocks, we are developing a total of nine projects, all of which are interrelated, hence my repeated reference to communities. I am being very careful to control balance, scale, and competition. For example, I want to ensure office space is available in the area, but not too much too quickly. To support the food & beverage options, we are developing a much needed 450-space garage. And hospitality is a key amenity for new entrants to the market, as long as there is a phased and balanced approach. You might be familiar with the Gateway to NuLu office building, which was my first project in NuLu. The building was originally a furniture store dating back to the early 1900’s. It’s now a major technology hub housing a dozen different tech companies, as well as a daycare, the Everyday Kitchen Restaurant and Café, and some best-in-class co-working, meeting and event spaces. My Louisville office is also in that building. If you haven’t toured the building, you really should do it. It’s something special. When the renowned Mr. Joe Ley decided to close his doors after fifty years, he chose us to be the development partner for the next generation of his historic masterpiece. Restorations have been underway for the past two years and we are working M AY 2 0 2 2

I am enthusiastic about seizing the day. When I’m in the shower each morning, I get excited for my upcoming meetings and the progress we hope to create. I feel fortunate for all these opportunities and couldn’t be more grateful. Although my work can be stressful and has its challenges, I’m truly having a lot of fun. I have an amazing team and their talent resonates in everything we do.

How long have you lived in New York City? And what does Louisville have to gain from your relationships there?

hard to preserve the stunning character of the building. When construction is complete, that area will showcase one of the nicest hotels in Kentucky. I’m working on some other exciting projects, but I’m not at liberty to speak about them yet.

What gets you out of bed in the morning? How do you stay energized? Well, I actually hate getting out of bed in the morning (laughs). But I hate going to bed, too. I was conditioned to be an early riser from a young age and the habit stuck. I grew

up being a competitive diver and was dedicated to that sport through college, where I was on the team at Duke University. Most days started in a freezing cold pool at six o’clock in the morning five days-a-week, so I was always accustomed to the old “rise and grind” philosophy. In college, after my diving and academic obligations were satisfied, I also served as the Social Chair of my Fraternity, which means I rarely missed a party and was never the first to leave. My social calendar has definitely settled down nowadays, but one way to describe me would be that I rarely miss a workout, never miss a meeting, and hate to miss a party.

I have lived in NYC for the past 11 years, and ever since I graduated from college, it has been home. My developments rely on large institutional capital providers to stimulate growth. My investment firm is headquartered there and we find it patriotic to show up to work each day at our offices in the World Trade Center, participating in all the action. Seventy percent of my investors are based in New York City, and those relationships are just getting started. My thought process has always been to gain relevancy in a particular industry and then use that resource to create a positive impact. I was always impressed with the investment opportunities in Louisville, but in order to truly make a difference in the community, I realized I would need access to a larger collection of financial investment groups, such as Blackstone and Goldman Sachs. I believe local projects are often underfunded which leads to a sub-optimal final product. In those unfortunate scenarios, the larger investment groups aren’t interested, specifically because the developments underestimated the intended quality of the final product. I never wanted to be a big fish in a small pond, I just wanted to help build a bigger pond.

M AY 2 0 2 2

I understand that your technology company, Zyyo, is the tool that brings all this together. How exactly does it work? Zyyo is an online technology used to finance real estate projects within certain communities, like NuLu! Specifically, it takes a data-driven approach to funnel large investors to local communities, and allows local investors from those communities to participate alongside. Most importantly, the local investors feel comfortable with the safety of their investment, since the deals are structured alongside much larger groups that sort out the due diligence and legal work. And the larger investors enjoy the local support, knowing that if they can integrate into the local economy alongside the natives, it maximizes their chance of success. v

Kathleen has been a part of Arts on the Green for over ten years and has enjoyed meeting her new and loyal customers. Kathleen’s art of choice is not a preference by many artists due to the tedious details and countless hours of work that goes into creating each piece, but that’s what makes it so unique. When

Kathleen was 18-years-old, she gave up her art scholarship to get married instead. However, after settling down and having kids, she decided to return to the Art Institute of Cincinnati in 1988 to receive her degree in Graphic Arts. “The first six months of school, they taught us different techniques, and scratchwork was one of them,” said Kathleen. “I’ve always liked fine detailed work and have done strictly 15 years of scratchwork. I retired to pursue my art career, and I am glad I took that leap and did so,” expressed Kathleen.

Scratchwork is a timely process that requires patience and attention to detail. It’s composed of a masonite board on the bottom and a very thin layer of clay. There’s a layer of black ink sprayed on top of the clay. Kathleen shared, “What I do is go back in and do a basic sketch of the subject I will portray and draw it out first using transfer paper.” Kathleen added that she is getting to the clay level when she is scratching the ink. “I can either go back and paint it with inks or even watercolors, but I go back again with a scalpel once I do paint,” Kathleen described. A scalpel is a sharp blade and can bring the highlights back out of the scratchwork, making the work almost look 3D. It’s a repetitive scratching and then painting routine that can take up to four weeks to complete.

Kathleen creates different kinds of subject matter but loves anything with nature or something that allows her pieces to look three-dimensional. “At the festival, I will have scratchwork pieces of Great Blue Herons, foxes, florals, horses, sea turtles and more,” she said. “I also do many customs, and most of them are pet portraits.” Arts on the Green is excited to welcome back Kathleen because of her exquisite work and strong work ethic. “I love detailed work, and every artist has their own thing that they like to do,” said Kathleen. “I keep trying to push myself because sometimes I doubt if I can do it, but then I teach myself how and the more I do, the better it is.” The festival will take place on Saturday, June 11, 2022, from 10 a.m. until 4 p.m. and Sunday, June 12, 2022, from 11 a.m

BASS + BRINGARDNER: The Power Trio of Real Estate A discussion with Terri Bass and Shelly & Bradley Bringardner, the realtor team at Lenihan Sotheby’s International Realty By SARAH CARTER LEVITCH | Photos by ANDREA HUTCHINSON

s one of the most experienced and trusted real estate teams in the Louisville area, Bass + Bringardner provides top-of-the-line service whether you’re a buyer or seller. With over 25 years of marketing experience and 15 years in real estate, this power trio works with passion and expertise that is unparalleled in the luxury real estate market. We spoke with the team, Terri Bass and Shelly & Bradley Bringardner, to learn what distinguishes them in the market and how they are involved in the community.

What separates you in the real estate market when working as a team? Shelly: “I think what separates us as a team is always being available. In this hot market, you have to be ready to show a property at any time. They come on the market, and offers are due in a day or two. Having the flexibility with three people allows us the opportunity to show a home at any point in time. The availability is number one.” Bradley: “Absolutely. It can get tricky if you’re a one-man show having to show your own listing for sale and help other buyers looking to see additional properties that arise. Having a team of three allows us to have the maximum flexibility to be a full-service team for our sellers and buyers. It makes us dynamic, flexible and always on our toes.”

M AY 2 0 2 2

You mentioned the term ‘hot market.’ As someone unfamiliar with real estate terms, what does this mean? Terri: “This market is unprecedented. I’ve been in the business for 15 years, but even if you look back 20 or 30 years, we haven’t seen this low inventory and demand for housing like we have. There’s a shortage of houses being built and a shortage of houses on the market being turned over. Therefore, it’s challenging for people who have to move or want to move. We have to go out and seek homes that might be a fit.” Bradley: “Our team really hits the pavement hard for our buyers because, there is a lack of inventory. We are constantly sending letters and mailers to desirable homes that our buyers have identified might be a fit for them. We try to make things happen. It’s like a game of chess. We are constantly working on behalf of our buyers and sellers. With a team of three, we can navigate these tricky waters with more ease than most.”

hire an agent, you really need someone to show your home.” Terri: “A majority of the agents out there just put a lockbox on the front door and let other agents bring somebody in. It’s a real value to have someone there who knows the home.” Bradley: “We also work hard to maintain relationships with other agents in the community. Agents in Lenihan Sotheby’s oﬃce and the other larger and smaller boutique agencies within greater Louisville. Having solid relationships amongst realtors can help make a difference in competitive situations.”

What makes your team unique? Shelly: “When working with sellers, we will professionally show your home. We’ll have the lights on and maybe put the fireplace on to set the ambiance for when the buyer walks in. We take clients through the home, showing them different features to create a welcoming atmosphere. It’s an important part of showing a house that many people don’t understand. When you

VO I C E -T R I B U N E . C O M |

VOICE LOUISVILLE

Will you tell me about the off-market exclusive service your team provides? Shelly: “For someone who doesn’t want to list their house on the market, they can have it in-house. We can still show and sell their home, but it’s not in the public sphere. The benefit of that is you’re in more of a leader seat. You can determine your pricing and get the terms you want. Some professionals don’t want to alert their employees that they may be moving or getting transferred. There’s an element of privacy and confidentiality beneficial to some clients.” Terri: “And some people will say that they don’t want to sell, but since the market is so hot, if someone brings them this offer, they’d be interested, but they don’t want to go on the open market.”

What advice can you give to buyers in the market? Bradley: “Patience is a virtue. We’re big believers that everything happens for a reason, and you can win deals in this market; it’s competitive, but the right one will come. It all works out in the end. If you have a trusted advisor to work alongside you in this journey, good things will happen, and you will find the place you’re meant to be.”

How are you involved in the community? Terri: “My involvement has primarily been in areas of social service. I am still involved with CASA (Court Appointed Special Advocates). I was one of the founders when we first brought it to Kentucky. I’m also involved with Family Scholar House. I’ve served on several of their committees that do their biggest fundraiser. The third thing is that I’m on the board of Kentucky to the World. That is an organization that elevates the reputation and knowledge of Kentuckians to the world.” Bradley: “Volunteer work is a big part of what I like to do with my free time. I’ve been very involved with Gilda’s Club of Kentuckiana over the past five years 66

serving on their associate board. Also, the Cabbage Patch Settlement House is an organization that helps underserved children in greater Louisville have a safe space after school to do their homework, play with friends, do extracurricular activities, etc. Previously I was very involved with the Louisville Zoo on the Friends of the Louisville Zoo board.” Shelly: “I’m involved with Gilda’s Club of Kentuckiana, the Family Scholar House and Sacred Heart, my alma mater. I think all three of us are on the same page about giving back and being involved in the community.”

What’s your favorite thing to do on the weekend? Shelly: “I would say going to restaurants. We love trying new restaurants. There’s always something new coming up, especially in NuLu. Our favorites are Volare and Porcini.” Bradley: “You can find Shelly and me at a high-top table or the bar at Volare eating some great Italian food and drinking some wine on a Saturday night. Louisville has a lot to offer for all different age groups. We’re a gem of a city with a small-town feel with big-city amenities. There are all sorts of fun to get into.” Terri: “Steve and I do a lot of dining and drinking of wine, similar to Bradley and Shelly. Another favorite is getting away to our place in South Carolina and taking a few days’ break. When we’re not busy with work, and there’s time to do it, I love hosting dinner parties and cooking for people. In the Spring, I like to do Coq Au Vin, and in the Fall or Winter, it’s some yummy Beef Bourguignon.

Sustainability Meets Fashion Roubaix brings elegance and style to cheering on your alma mater By ELIZABETH SCINTA Photos provided by ROUBAIX 70

s we all know, college sports are a big deal in the South, and right here in Kentucky, we have a rivalry like no other. It’s nearly impossible not to see someone sporting a University of Louisville or University of Kentucky t-shirt any day of the year. The colors alone, red and blue respectively, associate you with that team, whether you meant it to or not. After struggling to find attractive accessories to cheer on the University of Texas Longhorns, Meaghan and Robert Rubey decided to take matters into their own hands and launched Roubaix in 2021, a luxury accessory brand for people who want to support their alma mater in style. Roubaix’s products pair sustainability with fashion by using wild alligators sourced directly from Louisiana’s wetlands. “The large consumers of wild alligators on Earth are mainly three companies: Louis Vuitton, Ralph Lauren and Hermes. Most of those brands have gone to farm raising their alligators, which was cutting into what had traditionally been a very significant market in Louisiana. Not only relative to the tradition of the state and the livelihoods of the landowners, but it was also an important part of the preservation of wetlands,” explained Robert. After deciding to incorporate wild alligator into Roubaix, Meaghan charged forward and began researching wild alligator sustainability in Louisiana and vendors that could help bring their idea to fruition. “We’re trying to help the wetlands, so I wanted it to stay within the United States and help the economy in a full circle. And, that brought a lot of challenges, too, because there are only a couple of manufacturers left in the United States

that produce exotic skins into products; most of it is done in Italy or China,” explained Meaghan. “It took 22 months to figure out the products, and finally, it was able to launch in July of 2021 with my first show in Aspen.” Meaghan used feedback from her first trunk show to help with her product design moving forward. The Rubey’s soon realized that they had targeted two different clients: those who wanted the product to support a university and those who purchased simply because they liked what they saw. Roubaix began with the Rubey Mini Tote, modeled off the Louis Vuitton Neverfull Bag’s size. “I wanted something that everyone could wear daily, but alligator and more structured,” explained Meaghan. Although that is the flagship product, Meaghan says the Remy Bracelet in medium and small is their best-selling item. The Remy Bracelet is named after their beloved chihuahua rescue, named M AY 2 0 2 2

after St. Remy, a town in France where Robert grew up going in the summer. “Those sell quickly, and it’s great because they’re stackable. People will buy them regardless of school affiliation because they look great with a Cartier bracelet or any nice gold or silver bracelet they have on,” said Meaghan. “When I go to trunk shows, they’ll put it on, and that’s it. They’ll buy it immediately.” Another best seller is the Miller Clear Stadium Bags, which can also be purchased in full alligator. It’s a three-in-one bag that can be “worn on your belt like a fanny pack, as a crossbody or you can also take the strap off and use it as a clutch,” Meaghan described; UofL fans check out the red and UK fans, the electric blue. While Meaghan recommends the Remy Bracelet to first-time clients, Robert recommends the Kathryn Double Wrap Wrist Watch Band for the Apple Watch, elevating the Apple Watch into a luxurious

and appealing accessory. For men, Robert gushed about the McLaughlin Belt and Roubaix Men’s All Alligator Wallet, two products he carries daily; Robert has the burnt orange wallet and belt. So hop online to shop Roubaix and keep your eyes peeled for women’s alligator slides hitting the site in the fall of 2022. v Roubaix Roubaix.us 888.768.2249

Health & Wellness: Your Journey, Not Race Baptist Health/Milestone Wellness Center member Lorna Segall reﬂects on the importance of keeping health and wellness sustainable By RACHEL PORTER

t feels like yesterday when many of us found every excuse to take three walks a day, sign up for the latest Zoom virtual workout class, or invest in the infamous Peloton. These are all still eﬃcient ways to stay healthy, but it became easy to wrap ourselves in the comparison game with too much time on our hands and the constant access to social media. The pressure and urge to be as fit as possible can become almost unsustainable, leaving many people thinking they have lost the race to others around them. Like the Thoroughbreds and jockeys of the Kentucky Derby, robust health does not happen overnight or cross a finish line. It takes time, patience and most importantly, confidence in yourself. The two-minute race is just a part of the horse’s and jockey’s journey. It’s remarkable, but it takes obstacles and triumphs, like health and wellness. At the Baptist Health/Milestone Wellness Center, members feel supported and brave when they enter the doors, despite their age, weight, gender and experience in fitness. We spoke with Lorna Segall, a Milestone member, to hear how the community has taught her balance and brought her bliss.

How was Milestone introduced to your life? I moved to Louisville in 2018 for a teaching position at the University of Louisville. The facility is big and beautiful, which can be intimidating, but I felt very welcomed. I honestly Googled it, and it was the first one that came up. I got really lucky because it’s been an incredible part of my life. I understand how important a community is and exercising with other people because of Milestone. As a college student, I always worked out by myself, and I quickly became over that.

is any spin class taught by Dean Brooks. I love that he enforces the idea of not comparing yourself to other people. You’re not competing with anyone except yourself.

What were some of the classes or workout routines that Milestone opened your eyes to, and was it nerve-wracking or challenging at first? One of the first classes that rocked my world was Fired Up Sculpt, taught by Joshua Lakes. I love that class because it’s all weights and reinforces the importance of strength. Other people, specifically women, can be intimidated by lifting weights. Josh’s class is the perfect opportunity to learn because it’s a safe and fun environment. Another class that I adore

How do you think Milestone has given you the patience and strength to evolve your fitness journey? I persevere and am consistent. I have many people I consider my friends from the gym. Sometimes I go to class to see them! Seven months ago, I started training with Allison Cardoza. She has taught me how to keep it sustainable by mixing it up and discussing food and nutrition. She has debunked food myths for me and always says to listen to your body. There’s no perfect diet, and it is different for everybody.

How does Milestone help you incorporate healthy movement into your routine? I usually go to the facility five to six times a week. Sometimes I’ll do a core class, or a weight routine Allison planned out for me that month. Sometimes I may be tired, but I make myself get there to see the people and get that happy feeling!

What are some of your tips for balancing a healthy lifestyle while having fun? People should find any exercise or movement that they enjoy. I also think people genuinely desire to be healthy and not “skinny” or “muscular” for superficial reasons. You want your body to be as healthy as possible as we continue aging. But at Milestone, there are types of fitness programs for everyone. Everyone is there just doing their best, and that’s always acceptable. There’s a type of wellness for everyone there. v Baptist Health/Milestone Wellness Center 750 Cypress Station Dr. Louisville, KY 40207 502.896.3900 baptistmilestone.com

Off the Track with Jockey Rosie Napravnik By SARAH PROVANCHER Photos by ANDREA HUTCHINSON

“F

inding horses that need us” is how Rosie Napravnik describes her work today with off-track sport horses transitioning from racing in a retraining program or resting after an intense season. Napravnik, one of the nation’s

VOICE LOUISVILLE

| VO I C E -T R I B U N E . C O M

leading jockeys before announcing her retirement in 2014, has herself transitioned to a quieter life with her husband, trainer Joe Sharp and their three children in Simpsonville, Kentucky. Napravnik’s name may sound familiar as she was the first female jockey to win the Kentucky Oaks and did so twice in

three years. Her 5th place finish in the Kentucky Derby, aboard Mylute in 2012, is the highest placing finish of the six female jockeys who have ridden the race, and she is the only woman to have ridden in all three Triple Crown races. Napravnik is only the second female jockey to win a Breeders’ Cup race and the only female to

M AY 2 0 2 2

win more than one. She estimates that she has run over 1,000 races throughout her entire life and career. Announcing that she was pregnant with her first child after winning the Breeder’s Cup in 2014, Napravnik explains her decorated 10-year career, “Racing got the best of me, and I got the best of racing” during her time competing across the country. Settling in a home in the St. Matthews area when Sharp and Napravnik moved to Kentucky in 2013, once the birth of their son first occurred, they decided to start looking for a farm in the area. Napravnik knew that she wanted to follow a passion of hers during her racing career, which was to provide aftercare to sport horses. Napravnik and Sharp found just that farm in Simpsonville where the family now lives, and she operates a private training operation, transitioning retired racehorses into their second careers. She has previously said of her commitment to aftercare, “After riding so many of those horses and seeing how much they put out for us on the racetrack, it’s just something I can’t avoid making a part of my life.” Napravnik has served on the board of Old Friends Thoroughbred Retirement and started a chapter of New Vocations, a non-profit organization that rehabilitates, retrains and rehomes retired racehorses, in Covington, Louisiana. Napravnik was also recently named an Ambassador for Resolvet, a line of horse care products. She is committed to Clean Sport certified supplements and says that the Resolvet products have been highly essential for her horses. “Having the Clean Sport designation is so important, as all of us are committed to the health and welfare of the horses and maintaining the integrity of our sport,” explains Napravnik. One exceptional horse, Old Ironsides, nicknamed “Sugar,” is a Thoroughbred that has been with Napravnik for over 15 years. Sugar was the first to board in Napravnik’s Simpsonville barn when she moved him permanently to Kentucky, and he continues now as her number one lesson horse. Naprivnik has showcased Sugar, as well as others, in the Retired Racehorse Project’s Thoroughbreds for All event as well as the Thoroughbred Makeover. In 2019, Napravnik won the Eventing Discipline in the Makeover with a horse named Sanimo, trained by her

M AY 2 0 2 2

husband during his short career on the racetrack. Far from her racing days rising early to ride horses at the track, Napravnik now rises early to get her three children ready for school. Tucker, 5, Carson, 6 and her step-daughter, Aiyana, 17, are all busy with interests including soccer, art, pony club, gymnastics and more. Napravnik’s time with the currently 28 horses in her barn takes place from nine in the morning after she drops the kids off at school until three in the afternoon when she picks them up and shuttles them around to their many after-school activities. Now a permanent Kentucky resident, Napravnik looks forward to the Kentucky Derby festivities each year from a little

different perspective. She says that she enjoys the opportunity to return to the backside reconnecting with and interviewing trainers and jockeys with whom she worked with for so many years. This year will be the second year you can find her as a featured analyst on the Kentucky Derby Morning Works presented by TwinSpires.com. Napravnik says that she has lived a fairytale life – albeit one that has included a lot of hard work, a lot of focus and a tough mental mindset. She loves the opportunities that she is having now and, more so, loves the fact that she can spend each and every day with her family and her beloved Thoroughbreds. v

across the centuries. Curator Erika Holmquist-Wall noted, “We’ve been taking the old art and figuring out how to connect it to our lives today. The different impulses, drives and desires. There’s new labeling and new ways to talk about art. For example, the images of St. Sebastian, who was a plague Saint and only venerated during outbreaks of a pandemic.” Holmquist-Wall expanded on how this reinstallation will also enable more ﬂexibility to talk about and incorporate their collection: “For the past several years, we’ve used all museum areas for exhibitions.

were getting shuﬄed around a lot. By creating spaces for the Speed’s permanent collection and giving it a chance to shine, our goal is to make smaller spaces within the permanent collection gallery, which will allow us to either showcase a single work of art on a deeper level, smaller exhibitions that speak to themes and objects, or a space for community and education.” Also, now on view at the Speed is a unique treat. HolmquistWall noted, “we are installing a really beautiful, important loan of one of the earliest versions of Claude Monet’s water lily portraits titled Nymphéas,

through 17th centuries. Over the past six years, the permanent collection has evolved, whether new works are acquired, works taken out on loan, or works gone out on conservation. Along with the pandemic and civil unrest, the team at the Speed has been asking themselves: “how can we be more responsive?” Their response is reﬂected in the open reinstallation, The Speed Collects: Art in Europe. Given it can be easily dismissed as old European art, the new exhibit is about finding the thread that speaks to the commonalities in human nature that have stretched

1897-1899. We have the work on loan to us for a year from the collection of Monet’s son, Michel Monet. Knowing that the painting stayed with the family for many years and now it’s here at the Speed is pretty special. Anybody who doesn’t know much about art history will recognize the name Monet and know his paintings of the water lilies, so it’s an incredible opportunity to have this work on view.” “We’ll be showcasing it with some photographs by Stephen Shore, who spent time photographing Monet’s garden in Giverny, France, as well as the Speed’s Claude Monet painting,” titled The Church at Varengeville-sur-Mer, Grey Weather, 1882. She clued us into a present-day connection: “This work features a little church on the cliffs of the Normandy coast, and the church was just in the news a few weeks ago. The weather erosion of the cliffs is threatening this medieval hilltop Abbey that Monet painted over and over again.”

Holmquist-Wall provided insightful context for Nymphéas: “This work comes from the first series after installing his water lily garden. He produced around a dozen canvases that are about 30x50. He kept them in his studio and returned to them again at the outbreak of World War I when Europe was undergoing this massive upheaval. He returned to the topic of the water lily. Right around that time in 1917 and into the 1920s, as the war dragged on, is when he was producing the very large scale water lily pictures.” Whether you’re a regular visitor of the Speed or have never been before, this new exhibit and the recent reinstallation of art in Europe are compelling excuses to visit. When new exhibits come on, one of my favorite weekend activities is to get lunch and a cappuccino at Wiltshire at the Speed and then walk through the galleries, so might I recommend the same to you! v Speed Art Museum 2035 South Third St. Louisville, KY 40208 502.634.2700 speedmuseum.org

With the help of Dean Wilkinson from 310 Construction/ Wilkinson Builders, this duo crafted a dream home with three bedrooms and three and a half baths for Jeff and Kathy. Step through the front door into the entryway with custom paneling, a light

color adorns the walls and a custom wood design on the floor. The soft colors and eye-catching black and gold light fixtures give the natural light illusion. Next, proceed into the main area. “This room functions as three spaces. A beautiful dining table overlooks the front balcony. There’s a living room area in the middle with custom bookshelves painted our signature seal skin color on the back. Finally, the far end of the room is the music sitting area with the baby grand baby piano they brought with them,” explained Underhill.

Back to the other side of the room, wander around the dining room table and out the sliding glass doors to one of the condo’s two patios. With ample sitting room, a breathtaking view of the tree canopy and weatherproof cushions from Allison Carothers and Ann-Marie Howell at Summer Classics, what’s not to love?

Faulkner from Carpet Specialists brighten the rooms. Per Kathy’s request, a gas range stove sits on the right side of the L-shaped cabinetry by Frankee Kramer from Miller’s Fancy Bath and Kitchen. Tucked away in a nook hidden by a sliding door, one will find the pantry. The hidden pantry has a generous wine cooler and coffee bar, and it allows the owners to hide appliances they don’t use often. Off this spacious main room is a powder room complete with a custom-built marble sink. “The walls are a textured grasscloth that has metallic threads running through it. It really shimmers next to the gold globe light fixture, gold hardware and marble sink,” Clayton said. Next, wander into one of the vestibules, featuring two colossal steel doors leading to Jeff’s office. “Jeff went online and found a company near our old house in Houston. We created a design with them for the doors, and they made them, transported them and had one of their workmen install them,” explained Kathy. The grand windows in the office done by Tyler Payne of Spindletop Draperies allow lots of natural light to filter into the office.

In addition, two closets flank on either side of the bed. This room also has an ensuite bathroom. Speaking of bathrooms, the primary bath is simply magnificent. The floor-toceiling marble tile accompanies the gold and white mosaic tile work on the floor completed by Bradley Fleitz of Aesthetic Tile. “They have a double vanity and recessed mirrored medicine cabinets with lights that are operated by a switch on the wall,” said Clayton.

How to Be Strategic in Your Home Ownership Decisions Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices Parks & Weisberg, REALTORS® gives insight into how to approach selling or buying a home in the 2022 Louisville housing market By RACHEL PORTER Photos by EMILY PETERS

hether you’re a firsttime homebuyer or eager for a new change of scenery, it can be intimidating. It’s impossible to understand the ins and outs of the housing market overnight, but that’s why there’s places like Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices Parks & Weisberg, REALTORS® to make the process easier. We chatted with the current owners, Dave Parks and Judie Parks, to learn how to be more strategic in homeownership decisions.

For starters, what should people know about the 2022 housing market? The main thing to know about the 2022 housing market is that sitting on the fence, thinking this market is hot and prices will go down, may not work. We do not believe that will happen in the near future for Louisville. We believe inventory will remain tight through 2022; if they want to buy, let’s buy. Even though the interest rates have gone up, they are still historically lower than the average over 30 years. Also, the government backed loan limits in the market has been raised over the past couple of years by $100,000.

a professional REALTOR® and discuss how the market is working. Many people think they can sell because there’s not enough inventory, which is correct, but it doesn’t mean they’ll get the top dollar if they don’t do it right! Sellers will always get the most money for their house when it’s professionally marketed in the MLS because the more buyers that are exposed to a house, the more offers it will get.

much someone is willing to pay to get in the home with features that are cheaper to buy included with the place than add later. An example of this is houses with pools. Putting in a pool costs more than a house that already comes with one.

How can buyers and sellers be more thoughtful about when, where and how they buy or sell their homes?

In today’s market, if buyers have 5% of the purchase price of a house, they can get a reasonable loan product at almost any price. If the buyer is a veteran, they do not need any money down. If the buyer has a budget below the $450,000 range, they could need as little as 3.5% to get the house. But also, if the buyers are renting, they should start saving 25% more than their rent price in their account every month to have a down payment ultimately.

The minute a house is ready, meaning it is adequately staged, maintained and cleaned, sellers should put the house on the market. We aren’t seeing anything causing prices to go down, so the sooner, the better for sellers. Also, buyers can be afraid of overpaying; however, no one lives in a house for free. It’s about how

What economic strategies can everyone use to save money for a down payment and closing costs?

How can buyers achieve the home they want while still meeting their budget? In most of Louisville, it’s still more expensive to rent than buy. If buyers are willing to purchase something that represents what they are renting, it should not cost that much more. If they are first-time homebuyers, there are a lot of products out there that don’t require a significant down payment with a good credit score. Buyers should not look above their budget. They need to look under their budget to allow the ability to offer above asking and include appraisal gap allowances if possible. It’s essential to have a conversation with buyers upfront about what they are willing to settle for that they can do later.

efore moving to Los Angeles to design and build sets for music artists like Ariana Grande, Justin Bieber, Halsey, Sia and Usher, Gunnar Deatherage was in high demand in Louisville as a stylist and fashion designer. Particularly for Derby season, the “Project Runway” and “Project Runway All Stars” alum would acquire a long list of clients hoping to be a canvas for his quirky and original couture garments, even turning a hand at millinery and hat design when the occasion required. Now, Gunnar has translated his passion for creating and sewing into a large Patreon membership and has amassed over 2.3 million followers on his DIY social platforms. This year, Louisville will welcome Gunnar back for a homecoming on Opening Night of Kentucky Derby Week where he will debut a fashion-inspired and interactive installation at Churchill Downs Racetrack. Whether inspiring millions online or focusing on one client in person, Gunnar has a special way of stimulating self-love and encouraging expression of inner creativity.

It has two cell phone pockets where I keep my AirPods in one and my phone in the other and a great interior zipped pocket to store lipsticks. 2. WALLET I love to coordinate and celebrate the Derby every day with my Radley London Racing Large Flapover wallet. It has three Thoroughbreds featured on it, and the color is a fun peach color that makes me happy. 3. LIP PRODUCTS I’m big on lip balm, so I have the Grown Alchemist Lip Balm and a Revision YouthFull Lip Replenisher. I also always have five MAC Cosmetics lipsticks with me at all times. I love matte-colored lipsticks because you can mix and match and put the lip gloss on top of it. Blankety is my favorite and the best neutral to ever exist. I also love Syrup, Crème Cup, Patisserie and Velvet Teddy. 4. HAND LOTION I’m constantly applying hand lotion, so I have a Grown Alchemist Hand Cream. It’s vanilla and orange peel scented, which smells delicious and like a vacation. 5. TECHNOLOGY I have the original generation AirPods with a yellow smiley face from my kid’s sticker box. This reminds me of how fortunate I am daily.

6. SNACKS I have Trader Joe’s Coffee Lover’s Espresso Beans because it’s Derby time, and you always need caffeine on the go. The HR Director introduced me to them, and now I’m obsessed, so they’re always open in my bag. 7. KID’S ITEMS I have a little Ghurka leather pouch filled with crayons because my kids love to color and play tic-tac-toe at restaurants and anywhere we go. 8. ON BRAND ITEMS I always have to be safe, so I have a Churchill Downs hand sanitizer bottle with me at all times. I also have a cute little Kentucky Derby Mint Box because I always have to be on-brand! You can find the mints at the Kentucky Derby Museum Store. 9. SUNGLASSES I always have a pair of sunglasses from Target in my bag. I have a few pairs and it’s always about which one is within reach and which one holds my hair up as a headband; that’s always a prerequisite. 10. COLLAPSIBLE WATER BOTTLE I always bring my Que collapsible water bottle with me because it’s efficient and so cute.

The Double Slit Experiment By STEVE HUMPHREY

he Double Slit experiment was first performed by Thomas Young, a proponent of the wave theory of light, in 1801. He lets sunlight strike a screen with a small hole in it, creating a beam of light which travels a short distance and hits another screen containing a detector. Imagine that screen covered with a photo emulsion, which is sensitive to light. If light is corpuscular or consists of a stream of particle-like entities, called “photons,” then the detector should 122

VOICE LOUISVILLE

| VO I C E -T R I B U N E . C O M

register the arrival of each one as a dot on the photo paper. If light is a wave, then it should be detected as a smear on the paper. Think of a water wave crashing against a sea wall or jetty. The wave hits all along the wall. Right off the bat, we see that the paper registers a series of small dots, or points. So, it’s corpuscular, right? Not so fast. Next Young inserted a third screen between the other two, this one containing two narrow vertical slits a short distance apart. If light consisted of a stream of photons, we would expect to see

two concentrations of dots, one behind each slit. Instead, what we see is bands of dots, bright sections separated by darker sections. This is an interference phenomenon. Think of two water waves coming together. Where the crests of the two waves coincide, they are amplified and the resultant crest is taller (this is called constructive interference), and where the troughs coincide, they get lower (destructive interference). And where a crest meets a trough, the water becomes flat. In the case of light, constructive interference leads to more dots and destructive M AY 2 0 2 2

interference leads to fewer. So, even though we still have point-like dots on the detector, the distribution of the dots suggests an interference pattern. So, light is a wave phenomenon, right? Not so fast. If we cover one of the slits, the particle distribution returns. And if we set it up so we can tell which slit the light goes through without otherwise disturbing it, we lose interference. Further, we can reduce the intensity of the light to the point where only one light ray is emitted at a time. Surely, in this case, the light must go through exactly one of the slits. But surprise, surprise, we still get interference. It is as if the light ray goes through both slits and interferes with itself on the other side of the screen. But how can a photon go through both slits? Now, to make things even stranger, the

same experiment can be, and has been, done with particles of matter, such as electrons. In fact, it has been done with even larger atoms and molecules. (This is a difficult experiment to perform but has been rated one of the five most important experiments in physics.) What do you suppose we get? An interference pattern. Even when the particles are fired one at a time. But how can particles interfere with themselves unless they go through both slits? And again, if we try to determine which slit a particle goes through, we lose interference. What’s going on? In 1924, Louis deBroglie, a member of the French royal family, hypothesized that just as light sometimes exhibits particle behavior, matter should exhibit wavelike behavior. The double-slit experiment confirms this. But how can Nature be like

If light consists of corpuscles.

If light consists of waves. M AY 2 0 2 2

that? How can something be both a particle and a wave?? Is it a “wavicle”? Two conclusions were ultimately drawn from the results of these experiments. First, we need a new term to describe the behavior of the photons and particles. It is said that they are in a “superposition” of states. Superposition is clearly represented in math, but has no intuitive, commonly understood meaning. If a particle is in a superposition of position states as it goes through the slits, then it doesn’t go through the left slit, it doesn’t go through the right slit, it doesn’t go through both slits and it doesn’t go through neither slit. A system in a superposition is represented by a wave function. Systems in superposition are never observed. When we observe something, the wave function “collapses” and the system takes on a determinate state. This has led to a lot of weird speculation, which I will talk about in future columns. (This is where Schrodinger’s Cat comes in.) Second, if an electron is in a superposition of position states as it moves through the experiment, then it doesn’t follow a determinate trajectory. That is, you can’t draw a single line to represent the path of the electron. In some sense, the electron follows all paths. Imagine what this means for Rutherford’s Planetary Model of the atom, which I discussed last month. One reason Quantum Mechanics is so difficult to grasp, even though the math is fairly straightforward, is that it challenges our ordinary conceptions of how the world is and works. Niels Bohr’s view on this, as I interpret him, and there are many who would disagree with me, is that we don’t have the conceptual apparatus necessary to visualize or understand what goes on in the microphysical realm. Quantum requires us to develop brand new concepts, like superposition and entanglement, but because they are new, we have developed no intuitions about them. Stick around. I will be exploring further the wonderful world of Quantum Mechanics in my next column.

John Henry Harralson, Jr. Tribute Sept. 9, 1927 - March 30, 2022 By JANICE CARTER LEVITCH HUMPHREY

s publisher of The VOICETRIBUNE, it is only fitting that I personally write a tribute to one of the most charming and endearing notable persons in our community. Someone who never seemed to meet a stranger and always took the time to engage in the most entertaining conversation. When our Editor in Chief, Alexandra Hepfinger, discussed this tribute with me, all I wanted to do was include John Harralson’s obituary. She said that wasn’t good enough and that I had to be the one to write something meaningful about him. Then I realized my hesitation wasn’t that I didn’t want to write the tribute. Thinking about all the events Harralson had covered over the years was mind-boggling. I realized I didn’t want to admit an iconic individual in our community had passed. My first encounter with him happened years ago while I was attending a fundraiser known as “Hardscuffle.” He came up to me and introduced himself, and politely asked if he could snap a photo of me with the friends I was with. Of course, I was immediately enamored with his wit and ease of character. He gave me his business card, and the following week I trotted over to his office that was located in the heart of St. Matthews, to ask about the photos. Once I arrived, he was able to show me a black and white contact sheet of the images he had taken at the M AY 2 0 2 2

Hardscuffle event. They were fabulous, and I felt like a movie star as I gazed at the black and white contact sheet he had printed in his darkroom. You see, at the time, all his photos were on film. I placed an order for several 5x7 prints, and he said to come back in about a week to pick them up because he would print them in his darkroom, which took a little time. You can imagine how special those black and white prints are to me, knowing he personally printed them. Harralson purchased the name and assets of The New Voice in April 1987. He wanted to run a publication with a sharp focus on community news, including extensive coverage of social events - a paper like the one his mother had worked for in Central City, Kentucky. Harralson beefed-up sports coverage, added a social columnist and increased the number of photos. In fact, there were so many photos that “some of the reporters complained that I was trying to turn it into Life magazine,” Harralson said in the 2017 interview with Thomas Pack for The VOICETRIBUNE. He became an icon of the Louisville social scene by photographing dignitaries and guests at sporting events, galas and business openings. John would be present in his tuxedo, camera in hand and surrounded by people hoping to appear in the next issue at any important event. When the publication sold, John continued working as a photographer well beyond his 90th birthday.

On the seventh anniversary of Harralson’s ownership, the publication was renamed The VOICE-TRIBUNE because Harralson wanted to give it a more traditional name. Under Harralson’s direction, it grew to become Kentucky’s largest paid weekly. As the current steward of this publication and someone who admires Harralson’s accomplishments, a decision has been made to steer this publication onward and upward by returning to our roots, The VOICE-TRIBUNE. Over the years, there have been many iterations of our name, The New Voice, The Voice-Tribune, The VOICE of Louisville, VOICE of Louisville and finally, VOICE Louisville. Over the months ahead, you will notice our ad campaign ‘Back to our Roots’ being released. This is our way of honoring Harralson’s legacy and leadership during his tenure as publisher. John is survived by his wife of 58 years, Sarann Salsburg Harralson and four sons, John Henry Harralson, III, Dr. Thomas Giles Harralson, James Kincheloe Harralson and Benjamin Simpson Harralson. Also survived by three grandchildren, John Henry Harralson, IV and Hayden Proctor Harralson, the sons of John III and Cynthia Reid Harralson and Benjamin Webb Harralson, the son of Benjamin and Stacey Miller Harralson. Godspeed, Mr. Harralson. I am one of many folks in this community who was honored to know you. v
