FROM THE

I had truly planned to work through the solar eclipse this week. My to-do list was particularly long on Monday and I had not successfully procured the must-have accessory of the summer, or even a pair of the bogus faulty eyewear, to safely observe what some had traveled from across the country to experience in Kentucky. I figured I would sit this one out and catch the expert images on the evening news. I was confident they could capture something more impressive than I would be able to witness on my own with some flimsy piece of cardboard anyway. A coworker convinced me to at least walk out to the front sidewalk and promised to “go halfsies” on her NASA authorized solar filters. I begrudgingly followed her outside expecting to rush through a poorly planned experience that would be in no way memorable. First, I admit, I stole a glance without the glasses. Yes, it did indeed hurt. I hope I don’t regret my moment of rebellion in a few years. Even though Louisville was just outside the path of totality, as almost anyone who witnessed would likely attest, the moments leading up to even the partially eclipsed sun were pretty powerful. I spent most of my time in observation of the unmitigated joy of those around me. Strangers with whom I ride an elevator every day in cell phone-consumed silence were suddenly offering jovial observations and sharing equipment. I’m so glad I stepped away from my computer for that particular moment in time.

It taught me that more often I need to look up and enjoy nature’s grand spectacles.

This week’s feature story highlights the women leaders of Louisville Athletics whom we met in the incredibly impressive one-year-old Thornton’s Academic Center of Excellence. The dynamic team can be largely credited for much of the ongoing success of the Cardinal Athletic Department. It would be an irresponsible omission (even as an unapologetic Cards fan) not to mention the scrutiny that UofL Athletics has faced in the last year, but with a new season comes overwhelming optimism for all of the Cardinals’ 23 sports programs. “UofL has a great record of achievements of which to be proud,” said Athletic Director Tom Jurich. “But I’m never satisfied with where we’ve been. We have big plans for where we’re going.

Innovation is our expectation. To take the future, we have to make it. My job is to make our students successful in college and in life and that is why we‘re going to relentlessly focus on high-impact initiatives.” Tom Jurich, his staff and the fans of Cardinal Athletics know that sometimes after the darkness, comes a light that is almost blinding.

little over 45 years ago, one single sentence slipped into an education bill and signed into law by President Richard Nixon changed the landscape of American amateur athletics forever.

of Louisville Athletics

“No person in the United States shall, on the basis of sex, be excluded from participation in, be denied the benefits of, or be subjected to discrimination under any educational program or activity receiving Federal financial assistance.”

Title IX was supposed to give female athletes in high school and college as much of an opportunity to pursue their dreams as their male counterparts. While the landmark legislation banning sex discrimination in any educational program receiving federal funding has certainly cracked the door open wider for women looking to make a career in sports, the playing field is still anything but level.

Women now make up more than half of all college undergraduates, but they still don’t get their equal share of athletic opportunities. A 2010 study by the NCAA revealed that women composed almost 53 percent of the aggregate student body but were under 46 percent of the schools’ student athletes.

Those female student athletes also received, on average, just 39.6 percent of their athletic departments’ overall spending, a national figure that has remained virtually unchanged for 15 years.

The idea that major college athletics is still very much a “boys club” gets its best support from the disparity between male and female professionals in the field. Even though Title IX has dramatically increased the number of female college athletes, it has not increased the number of women coaches. In fact, it’s done the opposite. In 1972, women coached about 90 percent of women’s college sports teams.

Today, that number sits at 43 percent.

UofL coaches: Kelly Young, Lacrosse; Softball, Sandy Pearsoll; Volleyball, Dani BusboomKelly; Women’s Golf, Courtney Trimble; Women’s Soccer, Karen Ferguson-Dayes; Field Hockey, Justine Sowry.

The numbers only tell half the story here. For many women, getting access to the college sports club was a struggle trumped only by their efforts to try and find equal treatment after their membership kicked in. Recent gender discrimination lawsuits involving the universities of Iowa and Tennessee have pulled back the curtain to show how some women who attained powerful positions at powerful athletic programs weren’t really in possession of the power their jobs ought to have wielded.

Both lawsuits detailed cultures where the ideas of female professionals were consistently ignored, and worse, where an environment that welcomed sexual discrimination and harassment was promoted. They also opened the door for women formerly or currently employed by other major athletic departments to speak out about their similar experiences.

Despite attempting to convey a public image that would indicate otherwise, it’s clear that a number of high-profile athletic departments

Tom has always advocated for each and every sport to have a first class experience regardless of if it was a male or female team.

Coaches are coaches. Athletes are athletes. Cardinals are Cardinals. It’s that simple.”

— Amy Calabrese, Assistant Athletic Director for Student-Athlete Development 10

still have a fraternity mentality that they are in no hurry to part with.

This isn’t the case when it comes to Tom Jurich’s University of Louisville athletic department. It hasn’t been for two decades.

“Every sport is equally important here at Louisville,” said Amy Calabrese, a former Cardinal athlete and UofL’s current Assistant Athletic Director for Student-Athlete Development. “Being a former women’s soccer student-athlete for the Cardinals, my experience was second to none and that’s still the case today. Tom has always advocated for each and every sport to have a first class experience regardless of if it was a male or female team.

Coaches are coaches. Athletes are athletes.

Cardinals are Cardinals. It’s that simple.”

Since Jurich arrived in 1997, UofL has added four women’s sports—rowing, lacrosse, golf and softball—taking the total number of women’s sports at Louisville from nine to 13. Over that same time span, he has helped increase the number of female athletes at UofL by a whopping 166 percent (147 in 1997 to 391 now), and increased the scholarship and financial aid devoted to women’s sports by more than 600 percent ($767,000 in 1997 to $5.5 million now).

The investments have paid off for Jurich when it comes to the teams’ performances.

The UofL women’s basketball program has gone from one which had never been to a Sweet 16 to a perennial top 10 squad that has played in two national championship games.

The Cardinal swimming and diving program have produced a pair of national champions and world record holders in the last two years with Kelsi Worrell and Mallory Comerford.

“There’s not a shrinking violet in the bunch-nor should there be,” UofL assistant athletic director, brand marketing and licensing Lottie Stockwell said of Louisville’s female administrators. “College athletics runs at a breakneck pace, even in the offseason, and you have to have a strong personality to succeed. As you would imagine, all these strong personalities bring a lot of lively, healthy discourse. We challenge each other, we support each other and there’s no other group I’d rather work side by side with every day.”

It is something that has stuck with me everyday and motivation for me to be the best female mentor that I can be.

Despite the strides our society has made in the last 100 years or so, there’s still a wide gap in the way we view men and women after both become parents. While the male role in the workplace is expected to be minimally affected by becoming a father, everything is supposed to change for women. The mother is still seen as the primary caregiver, a role which makes it impossible for her professional existence to pick back up without a hitch once she returns from maternity leave. The result of this phenomenon for professionals across the country is that they feel pressured into accepting a diminished role in the workplace after becoming a mother, or worse, they feel

Louisville softball has been a mainstay in the NCAA Tournament since the advent of the program, and the lacrosse and field hockey teams have thrived in the ACC, spending considerable portions of each of the past three seasons ranked somewhere in the top 10.

When talking with the coaches of these programs who have enjoyed such a remarkable rise to prominence in recent years about the reasons for that success, there is always one constant.

“Tom is an incredible leader,” said UofL women’s golf coach Courtney Trimble. “He has the ability to make you feel as though your program is one of the most important in the department no matter how big or small your team is. He is always asking ‘what do you need to help grow your program?’

Because of these things, you want to achieve great things for Tom and the University of Louisville. I have never worked for another leader that has truly made you feel that they believe in your ability to lead and he empowers you to be able to get the job done.”

In addition to his commitment to women’s sports, Jurich has also made equal opportunity a priority when it comes to his own staff.

A large number of Jurich’s top administration posts are currently filled by women, a trend that has been around since his first days as Louisville’s athletic director. It’s a tendency that has resulted in UofL ranking among the nation’s leaders at both the college and professional level when it comes to employing women in senior administrative roles.

“Tom is the finest leader I’ve ever had the pleasure to work for,” said Julianne Waldron, UofL’s associate athletic director for marketing and external relations. “He is a servant leader, a feminist and treats his staff with not just great respect but as his family. He guides me when I need him as great mentors should.

But similarly, great mentors also let their students rise and fall on their own. He is a liberating manager, empowering me to solve challenges on my own, to lead and develop a talented team and to be ever-innovative in my work. It is that secret ingredient that sets him apart and makes this department the speed train that everyone wants to get on.”

A consistent theme when talking to the women who help make the UofL athletics train go is the notion that they never feel as though their voice is unheard. Even when ideas are met with resistance or disagreement, Jurich has fostered an environment at UofL where all employees feel comfortable to say their peace and receive an honest and well thought-out response. It’s a deserved freedom that the women have wholeheartedly embraced for years.

pressured into walking away from their professional life entirely.

Again, this isn’t the case at the University of Louisville. All eight of UofL’s high-ranking female administrators interviewed for this story have families and school-age children, and all eight said that they hadn’t felt any pressure to prioritize their professional role over their role as a mother. In fact, all eight said that the “family first” environment at UofL had resulted in a situation where their roles as parents and professionals have been able to co-exist as harmoniously as possible.

“I came back to work at UofL after having three children because of the family atmosphere,” said Christine Simatacolos, UofL associate athletic director for student life.

“My kids come to games with me, participate in UofL sports camps and get to know the coaches and student-athletes. Tom Jurich allows me to be the mother I want to be.

That was important to me when I decided to come back to work here. He trusts that I will get the work done, while my kids are still my priority.”

For years, mothers have been hammered over and over with the idea that they “can’t do it all.” Christine Herring, UofL’s associate athletic director and senior women’s administrator, says that long-standing idea is simply not true. It just takes the right environment

and being surrounded by the right people.

“Being a mom is the best job I have ever been blessed with,” Herring said. “I have found over the last two and a half years, that my life is about balance. There are times I feel like I am failing in one direction at home or another direction at work because I’m still learning how to do it all, well. However, the things that I’ve learned through both being a mom and a strong female leader in sports have been invaluable. Learning to say ‘no’ to doing everything is ok. Learning to be vulnerable and honest is admirable. I have learned that being strong and demonstrating resilience is necessary to earning respect from others. As a mother, you can do it all, but prioritizing is critical. Hearing my boss tell me that being a mom comes first is validation that I work for someone who not only cares about me professionally, but personally as well. In turn, it motivates me to give myself 100 percent to the advancement of this department and university.”

In the last 20 years, Louisville athletics has enjoyed an unprecedented period of success.

State of the art facilities have been erected, a move to perhaps the country’s premier conference has been made, and numerous championships have been won. None of it would have been possible without the women leaders of Louisville Athletics. VT 0 8 . 2 4 . 2 0 1 7 V O I C E -T R I B U N E . C O M

What is the Celebration of Education Gala?

The Celebration of Education Gala will take place on Thursday, September 21 at the Downtown Marriott and is a black-tie optional event. Silent auction and cocktail reception, sponsored by Brown-Forman Corporation, begins at 5:30 p.m., with dinner and full program at 6:45 p.m. This event gives Family Scholar House the opportunity to share with our supporters the many successes of participants of Family Scholar House and to celebrate their journeys from poverty to self-sufficiency through education.

What can guests expect at the event?

This will be an inspiring evening to celebrate Family Scholar House families and to learn more about the successes of our graduates. Guests at the gala will enjoy our keynote speaker, Wanda Durant, affectionately known as Mama Durant and “the real MVP.” Wanda is a strong leader, advocate and philanthropist whose passion is to help single mothers, women and children. She is the mother of two incredibly successful sons, businessman Anthony (Tony) Durant and NBA MVP star Kevin Durant of the Golden State Warriors.

Why is the event important for FSH and the greater community?

Family Scholar House is fortunate to have broad support from businesses, foundations and individuals in our community, and this evening allows us to bring together those supporters with our families to highlight the outcomes of their generous support. It also allows Family Scholar House to introduce new community supporters to our families, our mission and our impact on the Louisville community.

Tell us about the “Real MVP” contest.

In Kevin Durant’s NBA MVP Award acceptance speech, he said that his mom was his “Real MVP” and told of all the sacrifices she made to be sure that he and his brother

How did this specific event come about?

This is the 20th year of Family Scholar’s Celebration of Education event. In recognition of this milestone, our Board of Directors wanted to offer an evening event that gave us a less rushed agenda and a chance for community members to socialize at our Brown-Forman sponsored cocktail reception before the dinner and program. In addition to the keynote address by Wanda Durant, we will present the Dr. Lucy M. Freibert, SCN Awards to Passport Health Plan and Frank and Paula Harshaw. Passport and the Harshaws are very deserving of recognition for their commitment to education, gender equity and leadership development opportunities. Our guests can also look forward to hearing from one of our graduates and receiving a copy of Family Scholar House’s first book, “Stories that Define Us.” This book has been written by Pam Platt and is being debuted at our gala.

Do you hope to make it an annual event?

We have enjoyed having a luncheon in the past and have had many requests to move to an evening event. We look forward to many years to come of our Celebration of Education Gala. Not only does this event raise funds to support our mission and serve our scholars of all ages, it also gives our community a chance to learn about our work and the outcomes that have a positive impact on our entire community.

It’s Cal vs. K Yet Again

By Steve Kaufman Photo by Victoria Graff

Coach John Calipari.

I

sn’t it extraordinary how Duke announced the recruiting of Marvin Bagley III, and everyone just fell in line to proclaim the Blue Devils as the next NCAA champion?

Experts who pointed out that, yes, John Calipari has another great recruiting class, but that the team overall is woefully lacking in experience, now say that freshman Bagley is the perfect puzzle piece to Mike Krzyzewski’s can’t-miss group this season.

The fact is, Duke has only one returning player of significance.

And Grayson Allen is good (if tripping your opponent were an allowable defensive move). But the team is loaded with players whose best attribute is shooting.

Duke’s still allowed just one ball, right? NCAA rules. And someone has to play point.

The difference in all the analysis seems to boil down to Krzyzewski versus Calipari. The golden knight from Chicago and West Point, versus the scrappy hustler from Pittsburgh and Clarion. The guy who has been at one program for 37 years, versus the guy who’s moved around, college to pros, the guy who better-dealed Memphis for Kentucky and left a residue of hard feelings.

The basketball writers who look past Roy Williams dropping Kansas for North Carolina, Bill Self dumping Illinois for Kansas, or Steve Alford fleeing New Mexico for UCLA, can’t get past Calipari’s interest in wanting to be part of the inner circle, one of the blue bloods.

Krzyzewski’s best attribute is apparently attracting high schoolers with the promise of improving their games in a hurry. Whereas Calipari’s best attribute is seducing high schoolers with the promise that he’ll turn them into lottery picks in just one year. And that’s different . . . how?

When Duke won the 2015 national

14

championship with a freshman-heavy team, Krzyzewski was honored for his savvy coaching. When Kentucky won the 2012 national championship with a freshman-heavy team, Calipari was resented for succeeding when everybody was convinced his approach would fail.

One problem there was that Krzyzewski’s 2015 team won in a year when Cal had the best college basketball team in 40 years— maybe ever. So, ipso facto, K must be a genius and Cal must be an underachiever.

Genius vs. underachiever? Let’s look at the dry statistics. We all know that Krzyzewski is the winningest coach in the history of the planet, but let’s look only at the period since Calipari joined Kentucky in 2009.

In those eight seasons, the Darling of Durham has an overall record of 237-53 whereas the Liar of Lexington has gone 24953.

In the NCAA tournaments, K’s Dukies have gone 20-6. Cal’s Cats have gone 26-6.

Duke has been to two Final Fours. Kentucky has been to four. Duke has won the whole thing twice, Kentucky once.

And on that evening in June when the straw of all their labors is spun into NBA gold, Calipari has produced 24 first-round picks. Krzyzewski has produced 14.

This is not to slam Krzyzewski, who has compiled an extraordinary record at a small, select school, where he’s competing directly with the size and tradition of the behemoth state institution up the road a piece. K is a polarizing figure, much like Calipari, in that, love him or hate him, if he’s your coach, you love him!

But it’s remarkable to me how similar the records are of a basketball genius who knows just what to do with an overabundance of freshman talent, and a shell-game operator who gets them on campus and just rolls the ball out and lets them play on their way to the NBA.

OUT & ABOUT

The Compassion Experience

By Brent Owen

L

iving in today’s fast food version of America, complete with video game consoles, Netflix binge-sessions and mega grocery stores in every neighborhood, it’s easy to forget that more than 700 million people in developing countries live on less than two dollars a day and four hundred million of those are children.

“Raising children in our culture, it’s difficult to show our children how people in the world live,” said Steve Spriggs, innovations director and manager of youth outreach for The Compassion Experience. “Even the poorest people in the United States are wealthier than 98 percent of people on earth. If you read a statistic like that, it’s hard to convey what that really means, what that feels like.”

That is The Compassion Experience’s mission—to help Americans of all ages put in perspective what it truly means to live in abject poverty.

The Compassion Experience is a touring exhibit in association with Compassion International, a nonprofit organization that has matched sponsors with impoverished children of the third world, in over 26 countries for 60 years now. Currently they provide aid to 1.7 million children around the globe. The mission and the numbers sound good—heartwarming even; but, when we’re talking about 400 million children, it’s only a drop in the bucket.

The Compassion Experience brings the mission home with its traveling exhibits, which are free to the community, and hit different cities across the country with a mission to shed light and awareness on life in the third world. In Louisville, they will be at Oxmoor Mall August 25-28. In all, there will be over 1,700 square feet of exhibit space that instantly transports visitors across oceans and boarders and drops them into the lives of impoverished children.

These aren’t hypothetical children as one may assume. This is an interactive journey

It’s amazing what some of the kids in these countries have to go through simply to exist.”

— Steve Spriggs

through the true stories of children who have actually suffered through these experiences and survived. The two stories featured in Louisville’s Experience will be Julian’s, a girl from Uganda and Ruben’s, a boy from Bolivia. Both are now grown and have managed to break the cycle of poverty.

Each of their stories is a room-to-room tour guided by headphones. In each room The Experience has constructed exact recreations of the homes, markets and classrooms the children describe from their lives.

“When we made the exhibits, we traveled to where these kids grew up,” Spriggs explained. “We brought back artifacts.

Some of the things in there are items from the actual homes where they grew up. If we couldn’t get them, we recreated them.”

The mission is to create as authentic of an experience as possible that is appropriate for all ages. “Compassion works in some of the toughest places in the world. That makes it sometimes difficult to fully convey in depth what that means to a five or six-year-old child,” Spriggs said of some of the horrors these children have experienced throughout their lives. “Parents don’t always want kids that young to know what some of those words mean, either.” To circumvent such issues there is a ‘sanitized’ child’s track of each story available for younger children. The audio has been edited to skip some words, drama and vulnerable situations.

“It’s amazing what some of the kids in these countries have to go through simply to exist,” Spriggs said. “There’s a difference to be made out there, and these kids are worth making that difference.”VT

Rivalry Gala Photo by Tim Valentino

n Kentucky, the only topic more divisive than religion and politics is UK versus UofL sports. With football season kicking off, it is the perfect time to channel that passion for good. This year’s third annual Rivalry Gala will include UofL and UK athletes, Cure Champion Honorees and one-of-akind auction experiences. We spoke with 2017 Rivalry Gala Chairperson Kasia Harshaw and American Cancer Society Executive Director Jan Walther about how a bitter rivalry could end up saving lives in the Bluegrass.

We love the idea of using the state’s biggest rivalry as a means to raise money for a worthy cause! How was Rivalry Gala started?

The Rivalry Gala started in 2015 as an intimate event at Valhalla. The idea was that, while the majority of our guests were supporting Kentucky or Louisville in sports, we could all unite and come together to support the fight for a cure for cancer.

More than a Fitness Fad

ilates has seen a major resurgence in Louisville lately. Some may even say it seems particularly “en vogue” given the new studios that have opened this summer. Vogue Pilates, as the name would suggest, has had an unparalleled level of chic associated with it since its grand opening in June; but this boutique Pilates studio is about so much more than just style.

While the name does evoke a feeling of fashion, the studio is simply named after its prime location—Vogue Center in St. Matthews. It is located within and operates in partnership with Dr. Troy’s Live Well Natural Health Center above Coals Artisan Pizza. If you are familiar with the practice of Pilates, you know that it is way more than a passing trend in fitness. In fact, Joseph Pilates developed the system of exercises in the first half of the twentieth century with the intention to strengthen the human mind and body.

Aligning with Pilates’ belief that mental and physical health are interrelated, the owners and instructors at Vogue Pilates are motivated by the improved vitality of their clients—by evolving and empowering people to transform their minds, bodies and spirits.

When speaking to one of the four owners and master trained teacher (Pilates Sports Center) Stacy Celi, one feels the pure intention that inspires her to pursue and share the Pilates method. With over a decade of experience, she shares, “My goal is to always meet people where they are on their fitness journey and to help them feel freedom in their bodies.”

Celi says she tremendously values the diversity among her client base. “I train bodies that are vulnerable and are looking to heal and exceptional athletes who are looking to strengthen, gain flexibility and everything in between. This method really celebrates our differences and in that spirit, we have session offerings that are flexible and can absolutely accommodate various needs. I have trained busy

working moms by Skype session before, so I understand that working this into your lifestyle looks different for everyone.”

Fellow owner and instructor, Julia Lewis says the studio operates like a family and their clients are part of that: “We are very much a boutique studio which makes the experience feel more intimate. Stacy trained all of the owners—we call her our Pilates mom and co-owner Frankie was one of my first clients and closest friends.”

The fitness collective, which includes owners Celi, Lewis, Frankie Adams and Joan Richert, operates as a co-op with eight instructors, allowing clients to request private or semi private sessions at their convenience.

With six Balance Body Studio Reformers, group equipment classes are also available throughout the week at various times.

The compassionate professionals at Vogue Pilates embrace the notion that change happens through small acts over time. Whether your goal is to lose weight, reduce stress, increase flexibility, build lean muscle or all of the above, they are committed to working with your schedule to help you achieve it at your own pace. Celi says, “Improving one person’s wellbeing can positively impact the entire community.” In which case, Vogue Pilates is improving our city one client at a time. VT

From Louisville to New York and Back Chef Ming Pu is Making Culinary Waves

By Nancy Miller Photos by Jolea Brown

ing Pu is a globally-minded Louisville chef who’s attracting the attention and exciting the palates of even jaded New York diners.

He and seven other local food and spirit newsmakers recently were invited to the James Beard House to present the Young Guns of Louisville dinner. It wasn’t the first time Pu, executive chef at The 502 Bar and Bistro, has followed in the footsteps of some of the world’s most venerated chefs, who have showcased their talents at the renowned Beard House in New York.

His first experience there was two years ago when he and colleagues from Louisville made their Beard House debut. “I didn’t sleep the night before. The day of the dinner I was triple checking everything because I was so nervous. All of us were way over prepared, which was fine. Every course went smoothly.

One of my biggest concerns had been that people in New York would wonder, ‘Who are these young kids coming to cook?’ I was afraid we wouldn’t sell enough tickets,” he says. There was no need to worry. The dinner sold out.

The adage that warns against too many cooks in the kitchen didn’t hold true that night.

“All of us cooking together brought us closer. When you work with six or seven other people in a kitchen that’s less than 300 square feet, you bond. We dropped our egos and helped each other out. There were no battling egos,” he recalls.

On his return visit, he had the confidence of a veteran as he served his hors d’oeuvre of salmon sashimi with yuzu crème fraiche, crispy garlic and fresh wasabi. He reprised salmon as a main course but accentuated it with bourbon smoked togarashi, a mix of beans, compressed melon, rye and Meyer lemon foam.

Supporting the Louisville team were area suppliers such as Bourbon Barrel Foods, Blue Fin Seafood, Creation Gardens, Maple Leaf

Farms and Michter’s Distillery.

When the chef’s not cooking in the national spotlight, he’s at the helm of a busy kitchen in Norton Commons. As The 502 Bar and Bistro’s opening chef in 2016, he designed a New American menu that was edged with southern influence. Although he will be keeping on a new menu dishes such as shrimp and grits and a hanger steak with potato hash, he’s broadening it into a culinary conversation between Southern regional food and global flavors.

“There won’t be dishes that are straight from other cuisines, but I’m going to incorporate those cuisines’ flavors and ingredients into the Southern style. For example, instead of traditional ropa vieja, I might do a play on a barbecue chicken sandwich that uses some of the flavors of ropa vieja,” says Pu. He likes mussels and frites but likes even more the idea of pirouetting from tradition, using Southwest Asian flavors of red curry broth, lemongrass, kaffir lime leaves and fresh cilantro. And out go the frites and in come crispy fingerling potatoes.

Now that he’s being flattered with kudos from the discriminating palates of Beard House attendees, will he have an eye for big city stardom? “I’m going to stay in Louisville where I have been cooking for almost nine years. This is my home and I’ve learned a lot from chefs here. I don’t want to go to another city and start over. Great things are happening in Louisville and I love being part of its progression. Once The 502 Bar and Bistro is firmly established, the owners and I will probably work on another project,” he says. VT 0 8 . 2 4 . 2 0 1 7 V O I C E -T R I B U N E . C O M

absolutely no way she would have her current position if she hadn’t been from the South. She speaks the language of the Draper James customer quite eloquently.

And as keynote speaker at the Kentucky to the World event this week, you can personally hear her words slip right out like honey in her talk “From KentUCKy to KenLUCKY.” An avid reader, her current night-stand occupant is “What She Ate: Six Remarkable Women and the Food That Tells Their Stories” by Laura Shapiro. “I’m obsessed! Obsessed! It’s so fascinating.” The subtle nuances of a woman’s culinary preferences will no doubt inspire her in ways she’s yet to realize and the masses will benefit from. (After only reading the first paragraph on Amazon, I was hooked.)

She advises other creatives pursuing their dreams to stick to their gut and never look at the competition.

“It’s very hard to get to the essence of what you want and what you think if you’re constantly comparing.”

She cautions that there really aren’t that many original ideas left, but you don’t have to re-invent something.

“It’s not whether or not someone has done it, the creativity is in the execution. I always focus on one to two notches different—finding that unique little kernel that you can use at just the right time.”

With a daughter in college and a son who’s a high school senior, her children have taught her a few lessons along the way. Her daughter once said, “Mom, you don’t always have to be perfect.”

Perfection isn’t something she strives for. She finds her children to be far more balanced and mature than she was at their age. “They’ve taught me to listen more than to speak as a parent.” Something she does happily with her high school sweetheart in New York.

Her favorite etiquette tip? She never goes anywhere empty-handed. “I always, always bring something.”

It’s usually something home-baked and beautifully wrapped. Once she gets there, she’s more likely to have a glass of champagne than a smooth Kentucky bourbon. “If I were to drink anything, it would be champagne: Veuve Cliquot Champagne, Rosé...the pretty pink one.” With so It’s not whether or not someone much to celebrate in her every day life, only seems fitting.

WALLACE STATION If you haven’t been to Wallace Station you have missed a meal to die for!

We had a guest from New York and our cousins Penn and Pat Broecker took us out for lunch.

They said it was an unusual place, off the beaten path and had great food. Sounded good to us!

We got off the expressway and took the Old Frankfort Pike towards Versailles in Woodford County, in the heart of Kentucky’s Bluegrass horse country. We went to Wallace Station that is on the National Register of Historic Places as a surviving example of a small railroad community.

It was the first town in Kentucky established by a railroad and founded along an east-west railroad line in the 1830s. It continues to exist as an R.J. Corman Railroad track that still passes thru downtown. The current building was built at the turn of the 20th century by the McKinivan family. The McKinivans lived upstairs (now office space) and operated a store downstairs.

The store and gas station sold feed, machinery, fencing and other farming necessities, as well as consumer goods such as fabric and groceries. At one time, the building also served as a post office.

Dr. Thomas D. Clark, the late Kentucky historian, said that the former child bride of emancipationist and politician Cassius Clay, Dora Brock, who lived on the adjacent farm was laid out in the store when she died in 1914. Clay, whom she had divorced a few years after their marriage in the 1890s, had bought her a little house on the farm, where she died in poverty.

The country store operated until it was purchased by Larry Taylor around 2001. Chris and Ouita Michel opened Wallace Station Deli and Bakery there in 2003, where it continues to serve delicious food with great service and hospitality.

It doesn’t look like much but it is worth the drive up there. We got there early and there was already a line. I grabbed a table and the others got in line to order and pay for lunch. It took me back to my childhood and the grocery/saloon at Springdale on Brownsboro Road.

BIRTHDAY BOY “Cousin Ron” McMakin hosted a 88th birthday dinner for “Cousin Dan” Schusterman last week at his charming home in Surrey Place off Massie Avenue. The two men are what I call “Kissin’ Cousins”. Ron was the favorite cousin of Dan’s late wife Sug (or Lee). Both of the cousins were reared in the close knit community of LaGrange.

Ron, a retired banker, has turned into a marvelous cook in his leisure time. He loves to entertain friends Host Ron McMakin and his sister in law Beverly, her husband and family at his beautiful townhouse Billy, Brad Broecker, Carol Osborne, Jan Corum and the birthday boy Dan Schusterman. that is filled with generations of family antiques. An invitation to dinner there is always eagerly looked forward to.

In his “salad days,” before he retired from banking and raising a puppy, he would travel with us. One wonderful holiday was a winter trip to Switzerland with Joann Gammon along for the fun. The snow was deep and it was spectacular. We were very happy to be “on lookers” and not make fools of ourselves on the slopes! Instead, we took the train through the mountains and fell in love with the small villages.

Now that his puppy is a large full-grown dog, Ron doesn’t travel much. That is great for his friends and family as he has taken up cooking and entertaining as a full time hobby. VT 43

An Art Fair to Remember

By Wesley Kerrick Photo by Tim Valentino

A

rriving at the Mellwood Art & Entertainment Center less than two years ago, Bridget Clark hit the ground running with big ideas and contagious zeal. In a few weeks, the freshly minted creative director will oversee her first September Art Fair.

The fair is an annual tradition at Mellwood, the landmark art, shopping and dining complex at 1860 Mellwood Avenue. It’s slated for September 9 and 10 this year, running from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. on Saturday and 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. Sunday. For Clark, the show brings an opportunity to put her sweeping vision into tangible action.

“I have a feeling,” she says, “it’ll be very different than what it has been in the past.”

Clark was involved in last year’s fair but took a supporting role because she was so new to Mellwood at the time. To the New York City transplant, it seemed like visitors were enjoying themselves, but she noted that many of them were coming just MELLWOOD ART & to purchase something.

ENTERTAINMENT CENTER “I think it can be more than 1860 Mellwood Ave. that,” she says. “And I think that the 502.895.3650 art fair, and Mellwood itself, should be somewhere that people come to mellwoodartcenter.com exist, and not cycle through.”

September Art Fair: Clark envisions Mellwood as “a September 9 & 10 community-based getting-together of the minds,” a place where you’d be happy spending the whole day, moving perhaps from a fitness routine to a café to an art class, and then doing a little shopping.

“It should be a synchronicity of all of the businesses here, and I think the art fair should kind of spearhead that idea.”

So, how does that vision take shape when it comes to the art fair? It’s a matter of making

44

it more than art. The art will be there, to be sure—95 artists, in fact, from near and far, showing and selling their work inside and outside the building. But going along with that, the music, food and activities will be plentiful.

There will also be activities for children Clark says, “Instead of feeling like they’re being dragged around looking at things, they get to interact and use their brains.”

One such activity will be the local “bubble man.”

“I’m actually really excited for that,” Clark says with a smile.

Performers will include local rock band Frog Man, vocal instructor MM Voice, the Louisville Opera and Fleur-De-Lis Academy of Ballet. Among the food vendors will be Kentucky Smoked BBQ, O’shea’s Irish Pub, and Against the Grain Brewery & Restaurant—plus Mellwood’s own Danny Mac’s Pizza.

Another part of the strategy is to give Mellwood’s permanent tenants more prominent placement to display and sell their art during the fair.

All in all, nearly every imaginable art media will be represented during those two days. Along with paintings and drawings, you’ll find jewelry, woodworking, weaving and knitting.

When it’s all said and done, Clark will know she’s hit the target if people have come to the fair and just enjoyed themselves. The atmosphere at Mellwood, as she sees it, is the polar opposite of that pompous art gallery or museum you might’ve visited in another city.

Mellwood is a place to expose yourself to a broad array of art and to meet the artists. It’s a place to people watch, make friends and most importantly, just to be. VT

LOOK!

pets of the week Full of fun and full of life, Zoey never stops smiling! One-year-old Zoey is an adorable mix between a Pit Bull Terrier and a Chinese Shar-Pei. She found herself at the Kentucky Humane Society when her owners decided she wasn’t protective enough for them. You see, Zoey has no interest in being a guard dog! She’d much rather roll over for a belly rub or go for a fun hike through the woods with her people. This active girl is looking for a family who will love her for everything she is and promises to give her whole heart in return.

Could you be the special someone she’s waiting for? Zoey is spayed, micro-chipped and up-to-date on all vaccinations. Meet Zoey today at the Hikes Point Feeders Supply, 3079 Breckenridge Lane. For more on Zoey or any of our adoptable pets, please call 502-366-3355 or visit kyhumane.org.

Sadie is a lovely eight-year-old cat looking for a quiet home to spend her days. Sweet Sadie came to the Kentucky Humane Society when her family didn't have enough time for her. Now Sadie is looking for the right home and family to spend the rest of her days. Sadie is a shy girl who's been through a lot in her life time. She doesn't understand how she ended up in a shelter and takes time and patience to trust new people. Once she warms up to you, Sadie loves to be petted and get attention. Sadie's former owners say she is a wonderful companion but is nervous around kids and busy atmospheres. Because of this, Sadie needs a quiet home with older people or people without young children. In addition, Sadie is terrified of dogs and cats and needs to be the only pet in the household. Sadie is sad in the shelter and deeply misses being a part of a loving family. Could you be the one she's been waiting for? If so, please come spend time with her. Sadie is spayed, micro-chipped and up-to-date on all vaccinations. Meet Sadie today at the Hikes Point Feeders Supply, 3079 Breckenridge Lane. For more on Sadie or any of our adoptable pets, please call 502-366-3355 or visit kyhumane.org.
