FROM THE

Here at The Voice-Tribune, we know a thing or two about parties. Maybe it’s the hundreds of event pictures we pour over on any given day, or perhaps it’s the event Spotlights that we research each week (This week we preview two exciting ones: rookie event Be At Ease and the always-spectacular Speed Museum Patron Circle Party, which delivers a fresh and innovative theme based on a piece of art or an exhibit each year), but it’s become a key part of our brand and has always been at the heart of our editorial mission. While most people gather with their friends or significant other to give our cameras what we call the traditional “grip and grin” pose, the energy of the evening can still be felt through the lens despite the repetition in the composition. Often, I like to observe what is happening behind the folks smiling for the camera to get the real scoop on the vigor of the crowd, the ambiance of the evening or the devil in the details.

In this week’s issue, we chat with two of the city’s most ambitious party hosts, Lee Guillaume and André Wilson. Next week, they will welcome over 500 of their closest “friends” to the Louisville Marriott Downtown for Louisville’s ultimate dining experience. With over thirty of the most fabulous restaurants in the city, Signature Chefs takes culinary entertainment to the next level. The event has become a treasured tradition of the Thanksgiving season for me over the years, and the March of Dimes is a cause for which I am personally forever thankful having spent 68 days in the NICU with my first-born son.

We’re going put all of that party knowledge to the test and throw our own fête next week (Wednesday, November 1) with Community Foundation of Louisville to celebrate the first New Voices of Philanthropy where we will honor young professionals who have exhibited dynamite leadership in the nonprofit world. The event will be held at The Marcus Lindsey, an elegant and cool event space that was recently acquired by Paul and Karen Casi. I can guarantee it will be the site of some spectacular entertaining under their ownership, but don’t wait until then to see it for yourself. Tickets to New Voices of Philanthropy are still available at voice-tribune.com.

As we approach the holiday season, prepare to eat, drink (you can start with one of our featured Brown-Forman cocktail recipes) and smile for our camera.

n an evening to display incredible culinary talent, Louisville’s best chefs are gathering not to compete, but to raise funds for children in need at the March of Dimes through this year’s Signature Chefs Auction. As premature birth rates continue to rise, the March of Dimes steadily battles back with a combination of research and family support, aiming to give every infant a chance at life.

“The March of Dimes is one of those organizations you’ve heard of, but you don’t actually know what they do day-to-day,” André Wilson, the event’s co-chair, explains candidly. “But my family has been personally affected – our son was born ten weeks premature.” Wilson recalls the shock of learning 1 0 . 2 6 . 2 0 1 7 V O I C E -T R I B U N E . C O M

his son would be born early. “You don’t know what to do,” he says. “You’re painting the room and getting ready to assemble the crib.

You have weeks and you’re not worried about it. Then you get a call that your son is being born early and at a high risk. They don’t prepare you for that. Will he be able to see?

To hear? To walk? Everything else becomes a blur. The March of Dimes walks you through that process, and it’s so special to my heart because we’ve experienced it firsthand.”

Many people share a similar story to Wilson’s, and are coming together to raise support and awareness in their communities. While the March of Dimes is a national organization, many here in Louisville are stepping up

to show their support for the organization’s life-saving work. “The Signature Chefs Auction and dinner is a great fundraising event for the March of Dimes that has enjoyed success for many years,” explains Lee Guillaume, co-chair of this year’s event and Senior Vice President at Commonwealth Bank & Trust. “The greatest chefs in the Louisville area come together with individuals and businesses, to raise money for our most vulnerable citizens and give all premature infants a fighting chance.”

The event includes a unique dinner with samplings from 30 of Louisville’s best restaurants – everything from favorites like Volare, 8Up and Cellar Door Chocolates, to Louisville staples like Churchill Downs dining 9

and The Brown Hotel. At the gala, guests can try different food stations from any restaurant before being given the opportunity to bid in both live and silent auctions.

“My history with the March of Dimes goes back to my fraternity days,” Guillaume explains. “I’ve also served on the March of Dimes Commercial REACH committee, and Commonwealth Bank & Trust has been involved as a proud sponsor for at least the past three years.” However, he thinks there is something special about the Signature Chefs auction. “The event is one of the largest fundraisers for the March of Dimes, and it brings the community together as businesses and individuals for the benefit of premature challenges and care,” Guillaume says. “There’s excellent food and drink, a superb auction with exciting items up for bid and a generally satisfying experience for a great cause.”

Founded by President Franklin D. Roosevelt just before World War II, the March of Dimes originally funded research and treatment for polio. After the successful development of the polio vaccine, the March of Dimes shifted its focus to preventing birth defects, supporting healthy pregnancies and, today, preventing prematurity. For the past 30 years, rates of premature birth in the U.S. have risen steadily. The March of Dimes funds research and public policy efforts, as well as provides information, comfort and support to families facing premature birth.

Of course, Wilson, co-chair and the president and CEO of Style Icon, is also excited for the event. “Our food scene and restaurant scene in Louisville actually surprises people from out of town,” he says with a laugh. “We have 30 elite chefs at the Signature Chefs auction, all offering some of their best samplings and new creations while raising money for the March of Dimes to do their amazing work.”

While Wilson and his wife were stunned

to discover that their third son would be born premature, the March of Dimes checked in with the Wilsons right away, explaining what could happen after their son’s birth, sharing their knowledge and providing the couple with comfort. “As parents, you’re dazed and confused so they approach you,” Wilson remembers. “They don’t ask for anything in return. Not once have they asked us, ‘Hey, can you support us a little more?’ They just know what you’re experiencing and are there to walk you through it. It’s one of those things that is overlooked until you need it.”

This kind of support is essential – not just for the struggling babies but for their families as well. “Every day was a milestone,” Wilson recalls. “They gave my wife and me bracelets with different colored beads, and each bead represented a milestone; he’s having his vision test today, so you get a bead. Day in and day out, it was always something. If you’ve never been to the NICU, it will break your heart.

It’s something I wouldn’t wish on anyone – to see someone two pounds and hours old fighting for their life.”

Thankfully, his son fought through. “He’s strong-willed, he’s smart, he’s precocious. He’s full of life and he’s a blessing,” Wilson says with a smile. “We gave him the name Harrison – we wanted him to have a strong name, as a fighter.”

The group’s research efforts and heightened awareness help combat prematurity for everyone, leading to healthier children and the common saying that every baby is a March of Dimes baby. However, the organization also chooses Ambassador Families to bring a face to their mission every year.

This year’s selected family, Mark and Jodi Lindemoen, have two young daughters. Their second, Charlie, was premature.

“She was born fourteen weeks premature, and weighed one pound, one ounce,” Jodi 1 0 . 2 6 . 2 0 1 7 V O I C E -T R I B U N E . C O M

recalls. “It happed all at once. My blood pressure got really high and they admitted me to the hospital, then determined that with the distress it was causing Charlie, her chances were better with an emergency C-section.”

“There was a high probability that she wasn’t going to survive,” says Mark, who went with Charlie to the NICU while Jodi recovered from her C-section. “There were machines and tubes and nurses and doctors all over her. It was very scary.” But he remembers having hope. “We brought her big sister, Emma, to the NICU, and she was able to reach through the incubator with a glove on and touch Charlie for the very first time,” Mark remembers tenderly. “I thought, ‘She’s going to survive, and make it home, and have a sister.’”

With help from the March of Dimes, Charlie was able to go home from the hospital. “She received some of the therapy that the March of Dimes has been able to create through research,” Jodi explains. Now a healthy first-grader, Charlie is doing great.

“She’s right on track of where she should be, and she’s spunky and feisty just like she was in the NICU,” Jodi says proudly. “We want to give back to this organization because it was so instrumental to the growth and development of our daughter.”

Of course, an event on the scale of the Signature Chefs Auction requires a team with long-term dedication. Chef Josh Moore of local favorite Volare has been with Signature Chefs for ten years, and is now the event’s lead chef. “It’s been great being part of the event and seeing it grow over 10 years” Moore explains. “Every year we do a little better and raise a little more money. Louisville has such amazing restaurants, it’s a great event and a great cause. It’s easy for everyone to want to help out, whether they’ve experienced prematurity or not.” Moore himself was born two 1 0 . 2 6 . 2 0 1 7 V O I C E -T R I B U N E . C O M

months premature. “I’ve made up for it now,” he jokes. “But I’m excited for this year. I hope people really come out and bid high and help with the March of Dimes.”

In addition to the fantastic food sampling, this year’s auction is sure to be stunning. “We have a really exciting lineup with year,” asserts Jenny Kang, auction chair.

“Expect to see some hard-to-find bourbon, even an in-home tasting with the Pappy Van Winkle family. You can also expect to see a trip to Barbados and there’s a fun, unique Justin Thomas item.”

Auctioneer Bill Menish is just as excited.

“I’ve been blown away by how incredible of an event this is, and to join in is tremendous,” Menish explains. “It’s a must-attend.

If you want to have fun, be inspired and be proud of what you’re supporting, the March of Dimes gala is the one. People gather for those babies, the children that need their help – this group is there to provide, and they all step up.”

Since 1938, the March of Dimes has been funding lifesaving efforts to combat diseases and healthcare crises that threaten children.

To many unknowing people, the March of Dimes has made a world of change. But to families like the Lindemoens, an organization such as this has truly changed the world.

“Charlie’s smile is definitely a tribute to what the March of Dimes does,” Jodi says.

The Lindemoens, now on their way to Disney World, have two healthy daughters in the back seat. Emma, the older, is excited to meet Rey from Star Wars; Charlie, healthy and happy, is a fan of Mickey Mouse. Their earnest exuberance demonstrates the family’s resilience, strength and love; a Disney-worthy ending to a tough struggle. “We have a happy story thanks to the March of Dimes,” Jodi says. “And we want every family to have a happy story like we do.” VT

If you’ve never been to the NICU, it will break your heart. It’s something I wouldn’t wish on anyone.

SPOTLIGHT

Be At Ease

Photos courtesy of Dogs Helping Heroes.

D

ogs Helping Heroes (DHH) will present the first-time fundraiser, Be At Ease, on Thursday, November 9 at Tim Faulkner Gallery. The event’s name comes from its mission: to help veterans and first responders as well as their families be at ease by providing them with service dogs. To learn more about this inaugural event and the valuable cause it will benefit, we spoke with DHH Board Chair Kassi Cawood.

What is Dogs Helping Heroes and how did it come about?

We are a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization dedicated to helping restore lost freedom and peace of mind to wounded veterans, first responders and their families by gifting specially trained and certified service dogs.

Dogs Helping Heroes was founded in 2013

by David Benson, whose brother-in-law was injured by an improvised explosive device (IED) in Iraq and suffered from anxiety attacks. Several years ago, David gave him a trained labrador retriever who helped ease his anxiety and drastically improved his life. With over 13 years of professional dog training experience, David knows which dogs are the most qualified to assist. The Be At Ease event is about supporting these dogs and the people who benefit the most from their comforting presence.

12

At the Be At Ease event, you will learn how we use rescue dogs and begin training in one of two prison systems: Luther Luckett and Kentucky State Reformatory. In these environments, they are trained for four to six weeks for basic manners and obedience training.

From there, the dogs transition to Duffy’s Dog Training for professional training that is specifically tailored to the needs of each person. The rescues are trained to help wounded veterans and first responders who suffer with mobility, stability, PTSD and traumatic brain injuries.

What can guests expect at the event?

First and foremost at our fundraiser, you can meet our Heroes and their service dogs, then learn more about the training process. In addition, we have several restaurants providing food, including Guy Fieri’s, The Exchange, Citizen 7, Pearl Street Tap House and Mission BBQ to name a few. There will be an artist set up from Cruise Customs, which creates American flags from bourbon barrel staves, as well as Brown and Blue Photography and other artists.

Owner Matthew Duffy from Duffy’s Dog Training facility that professionally trains our dogs will be debuting his book, “Franklin:

The Man Behind the United States’ Commando Dogs,” about Jeffrey Scott Franklin, the man who helped start the United States commando dog training program. There will be music provided by Louisville Musician Service Coalition along with Gold Star Mother Cathy Mullins, who will kick off our event singing the National Anthem. Mile Wide Brewery and Monnik will be providing local craft beer tastings as well.

Why is this fundraiser important for Dogs Helping Heroes and the community at large?

Our goal is to raise $50,000 to provide 15 service dogs and five Gold Star Dogs for 2018. Attending Be At Ease is a great way for our community to get out and support our local heroes. Several individuals, corporate sponsors and charities provide us with financial support and we greatly appreciate that.

How can tickets be purchased?

Tickets are $25 and you can purchase them by going to http://bit.ly/DHH-BeAtEase or by calling 812.329.0244. We can’t wait to see everyone there! VT 1 0 . 2 6 . 2 0 1 7 V O I C E -T R I B U N E . C O M

The Speed Museum’s Bacchanal

T

he Speed Art Museum’s annual Patron Circle Party is always a hot date on the autumn calendar and this year is no exception. This year, the Speed is taking it a step further and throwing “The Bacchanal” on Saturday, November 4 from 8 p.m. to 1 a.m., for an evening to remember. To get the scoop on what to expect at the Bacchanal, we spoke with the Speed’s events guru, Evan McMahon.

First of all, what on earth is a Bacchanal?

The official definition of a Bacchanal is: 1. a festival of Bacchus, the Roman god of wine, celebrated with dancing, song and revelry. 2. a riotous, boisterous or drunken festivity; a revel.

It’s also a prized work in the Speed Art Museum’s collection, “A Bacchanal” (Flemish, about 1608-16) by Jan Brueghel the Elder and Hendrik van Balen I, who were two of Antwerp’s most highly regarded artists.

“The painting celebrates the bounty of the harvest,” says Evan McMahon, Special Events Coordinator at the Speed Art Museum. “We love a good party, so we thought we’d borrow some elements from the original revelers and have our own Bacchanal for this year’s Patron Circle Party.”

What are some of the highlights of the Bacchanal?

The Speed’s Bacchanal, co-chaired by Ozair Shariff and Joanna Hay, will have it all – decadent food from Wiltshire at the Speed, drinks flowing from Heaven Hill and many surprises.

There will even be a “floating” bar housed in the 1 0 . 2 6 . 2 0 1 7 V O I C E -T R I B U N E . C O M

Speed’s massive North Building elevator, and comfy lounging décor courtesy of Bliss Home.

The sumptuous design of the event will include bountiful, large displays of fruits and flowers reminiscent of the Bacchanal feasts of old, and guests might even pluck fresh fruit from the displays to enjoy on the spot.

In addition to the ample food and drink, guests will enjoy music and dancing. Festive music will be provided by Stirfry Musette, and the Speed will bring back by popular demand its silent disco hosted by DJs Dwight Johnson and Ben Jones (Better Days Records) with Aaron Chadwell (OK Deejays and host of Night Visions radio). The event will also feature impressive video projections and laser displays during the dancing courtesy of Ryan Daly.

How should one dress for a Bacchanal?

“That’s the fun part,” says McMahon.

“Anything goes. We’re encouraging guests to ‘dress like the gods or a mere mortal.’ That leaves a lot of interpretation out there. We want people to have fun with the evening. For the most part, classic cocktail attire or smart fashion should do the trick.” Costumes are encouraged, but not required. Nanz & Kraft floral designers will also be on hand, crafting handmade laurel wreaths and floral crowns to top off guests’ decadent attire.

We know it takes a village to put on this kind of event. Who helps sponsor the Bacchanal?

“We couldn’t do this event without the support of our sponsors, including Delta Dental, Heaven Hill Brands, Genscape, Bliss Home, Nanz & Kraft, Clark & Riggs and Stoll Keenon Ogden,” says McMahon.

What is the Patron Circle at the Speed?

Patron Circle members support the Speed Art Museum and enjoy exclusive opportunities to engage with the Museum throughout the year. This includes private cocktail receptions, previews of special exhibitions, visits to collectors’ homes, tours of artist studios and more, all in addition to general member benefits.

Who attends the Speed’s Patron Circle Party?

The Bacchanal is free and exclusive to the Speed’s International Benefactor Group and Patron Circle members. To join the Patron Circle or upgrade your existing Speed membership to the Patron Circle level, you can contact Kelly Scott at the Speed, kscott@speedmuseum.org or 502.634.2704. You don’t want to miss out on this fun event! VT 13

BRAS Elevates Breast Health Education

By Remy Sisk

A

lthough mammography often dominates the breast health conversation, there is a business in Louisville that is elevating thermography into the discourse as well. BRAS Louisville is a franchise of a national organization, and the Louisville location is currently in its seventh year of educating women about preventative measures they can take at home and different ways of staying on top of their health.

BRAS first came into existence when founder Linda Bamber’s mother and sister were diagnosed with breast cancer within six months of each other. Determined to understand the root cause of the diagnoses, Bamber dove into research and began compiling information on prevention The mission of BRAS is techniques and breast health. She to empower women to is now a highly expert take control of their own basic regarded on breast health preventive breast health care. and breast cancer prevention.

— Chip Gilmour “The mission of BRAS is to empower women to take control of their own basic preventive breast health care,” relates Chip Gilmour – owner, certified thermographer and naturopath of BRAS Louisville.

“So much of Breast Cancer Awareness Month helps women focus on awareness of the issue, but what we want to do is help them understand preventable causes.”

Indeed, following Bamber’s path of discovery, one of the central tenets of BRAS is education. Every client who comes into BRAS receives an education booklet that details preventative measures anyone can take at home.

Gilmour attests that one particular woman who followed every single step in fact saw a 14

total reversal of her condition.

In addition to the education, there’s also the thermography aspect of BRAS. “We provide an imaging that’s completely non-invasive – with thermal imaging, there’s no radiation and no compression so it’s not painful, and there are some studies that show that it’s able to detect breast health problems several years earlier than anything else can,” Gilmour contends. “It has the potential to be an earlier warning and allow people to take some preventative measures to intervene and improve their breast health.”

Once a client undergoes the imaging process, BRAS works with a team of doctors who subsequently read and interpret the images: “We do work with medical doctors – we do the imaging and they complete the reports for us. And then we work with our clients based on what they get back,” Gilmour explains. “We go over the images with them and, again, we have a book that talks about breast health ideas and being proactive, and I think that’s made a difference in individuals’ lives for sure.”

There’s also a separate business connected to BRAS called Ancient Paths Naturopathy, which, as Gilmour describes, can take the lifestyle education a step further. “If someone wants to go a little bit deeper into underlying health issues or underlying root causes of why they’re having certain symptoms, we help them get below the surface and figure out what lifestyle changes need to be made and what supplements would be best and things like that,” he says.

Without question, BRAS is bringing education and prevention to the forefront. While its services are varied, it remains dedicated to helping its clients take the right measures to ensure a strong base of knowledge and, consequently, lasting health.

Come Home to Calvin Mitchell

By Mariah Kline

While their many skilled professionals and vast array of services certainly set them apart, Haycraft affirms that the business’s crowning jewel is its relaxed and accessible atmosphere.

rom the moment you walk in the door, the homey atmosphere of Calvin Mitchell Salon is undeniable. It’s bright and inviting, but it doesn’t have the harsh lighting or icy color scheme that so many hair studios have. The salon has touches of rustic decor all around and a warm and comfortable vibe, immediately putting guests at ease and making everyone feel welcome.

Calvin Haycraft opened the salon in 2013 and this past summer, he and his team drastically expanded their space. Haycraft attended Roy’s of Louisville (now Empire Beauty School) and has been doing hair for 30 years. Some members of his staff have been in practice even longer while others just completed their master’s license in the last two or three years.

Having 28 stylists in the salon (all of whom vary in age and possess different areas of expertise) allows customers to find the perfect stylist who will best suit their needs.

Hair styling, waxing, facials and peels, nail services and makeup artistry are all on their agenda, and they do services for children, teens and adults. Their staff also includes two nail technicians and an esthetician who does tattooing services.

While their many skilled professionals and vast array of services certainly set them apart, Haycraft affirms that the business’s crowning jewel is its relaxed and accessible atmosphere.

“It’s more like coming home,” Haycraft

16

says. “It’s really homey and laid back. A lot of us have worked together for a long period of time so it’s just a fun, relaxed atmosphere.”

To add to this homey environment, the salon’s lobby area now has a large dining room-style table and chairs so guests have room to spread out as they please while they’re waiting. Another addition to their space includes a small detail that actually makes a huge difference when it comes to the hair styling experience.

“We have amazing shampoo chairs,” he says. “They’re really comfortable and you don’t get all the strain on your neck that you’d normally have. It’s actually enjoyable to get your hair shampooed here.”

As for the items they offer in store, they exclusively carry Kevin Murphy hair products and for makeup, they carry Glo Skin Beauty’s mineral makeup and skincare line.

The salon’s hours are quite flexible for those who keep busy schedules. They open at 8:30 a.m. Tuesday through Saturday and stay open until 7:30 or 8 p.m. Tuesday through Thursday. Fridays they are open until 6:30 and Saturdays until 5 p.m. Monday appointments are available by appointment only.

This summer is the second time since its opening four years ago that Calvin Mitchell has expanded. With the success they’ve seen so far, the business is bound to keep growing and for Haycraft and his team, the best is yet to come. VT 1 0 . 2 6 . 2 0 1 7 V O I C E -T R I B U N E . C O M

Getting Your Mojo with Mojo Hydration

C

By Graham Pilotte

oncierge medicine, a business model offering more personalized care, is on the rise, and new companies like Mojo Hydration are even offering on-the-go services. This Louisville company says that fighting hangovers, preparing for the big game and improving your general wellness may be much more convenient than you think.

“Mojo Hydration is a concierge intravenous hydration company,” explains Chad Donegan, owner of Mojo Hydration. “What happens is that a provider, one of our nurses, comes out to the customer’s home and provides them with an intravenous hydration treatment.” According to their website, the IV treatment takes between forty-five minutes and an hour, can be performed at home or work and results in improved well-being for the customer. Services can be booked easily online or through their app, with even as little lead time as an hour. “If you’re suffering from a hangover or migraine, time is of the essence,” Donegan asserts.

The treatments themselves vary in scope.

“Each treatment is a little different,” Donegan says. “We have three main categories, and each bag is customized for treating and providing relief for whatever that customer is seeking at the time.

“The first is for hangovers, migraines and the flu,” Donegan continues. “For example, with a hangover, your body becomes dehydrated and that dehydration causes all of those gnarly things like headaches and nausea. We provide a Vitamin B complex, electrolytes and anti-nausea medication. Each bag is customized to that patient’s needs.”

“The second,” Donegan continues, “is for athletic performance and enhancement, either pre-performance or post-performance. An athlete may need one treatment before a marathon or a big soccer match. After the match they have different needs, like amino acid replacement and 1 0 . 2 6 . 2 0 1 7 V O I C E -T R I B U N E . C O M

tissue repair.

“The third category is a beauty and wellness detox,” Donegan explains. “This is more for detoxing all the different harmful metals and impurities in your body, and for general upkeep.

We’re able to prevent wrinkles, reduce those signs of aging and make your body feel better.”

Donegan says that Mojo Hydration is filling a new need for Louisvillians. “There’s nobody doing anything like this in Kentucky,” Donegan says, “but we’ve seen a rather large expansion in concierge medicine. I think people are trying to take better care of themselves and look for alternative means of feeling better. We feel that we can provide a service to make them more healthy.” He asserts that the company is medically sound as well. “The patient fills out a medical waiver, and we have a medical director on staff,” Donegan explains. “Charts and medical records are reviewed by a physician, and we employ registered nurses. There are a lot of checks and balances to what we do.

“What we’re really excited about is the buzz – how much of a need there is for something like this in Louisville,” Donegan says. “It’s a very social town, with everything from Forecastle to St. Patrick’s Day to Derby. There’s a lot going on in this city.” He says that Mojo’s IV treatments are uniquely helpful. “When you ingest water gastrointestinally, like drinking it from a glass, your body really only absorbs around 30%,” Donegan asserts. “We can go right to the source and treat it on an intracellular level with almost 100% absorption rate.”

“A needle can be a little intimidating,” Donegan says. “We want to remove the sterile, medical side of this treatment and make it a great experience for people. We want them to get their mojo back.”

Bellarmine University Board Chair William E. Mudd and Bellarmine University President Dr. Susan M. Donovan

PROFILE

To All a Good Knight Bellarmine Celebrates Inauguration of Fourth President

By Tonya Abeln Photo by Ryan Noltemeyer

The long-held philosophy of educating the whole person, body, mind and spirit, is a lived reality here.

— Dr. Susan M. Donovan

18

ollowing the sudden passing of Dr. Joseph J. McGowan, Bellarmine University’s longest-serving president, in March 2016, the Board of Trustees was tasked with replacing the beloved, respected and effective leader. The Board, led by Chairman William “Bill” E. Mudd, President and Chief Operating Officer of Churchill Downs Incorporated, knew they must be thorough and strategic in filling the vital role in order to continue the University’s dynamic growth and vision to become the premier independent Catholic university in the South.

“The Board wanted to recruit a top-talent, experienced higher education professional that shares our core values while bringing a new perspective to the University,” Mudd recalls.

Among the list of imperative attributes compiled by students, faculty, staff, alumni and the local community, he explains was “a commitment to our mission, diversity, the ability to create a vision, manage financials, strategic planning skills, the ability to communicate effectively and an inclusive team-building leadership style among others.”

Indeed, they found all of that and more following their global search in Dr. Susan M. Donovan who will be inaugurated as Bellarmine University’s fourth acting president on Friday, October 27. Unanimously appointed by the Board of Trustees, Dr. Donovan comes from Loyola-Maryland with experience that includes nearly every administrative role in academics and student services, with a proven track record of collaboration and inclusivity to drive change.

Donovan, 58, holds a Ph.D in higher education from St. Louis University, a master’s degree in higher education from Florida State University and a bachelor’s degree in communications from Buena Vista University. The mother of twin college-aged daughters, she also attended Harvard University’s Institute for Educational Management.

Following a summer of getting oriented to

the Bellarmine campus, Dr. Donovan made it a priority to meet every single incoming freshman this fall (almost 4,000 students). To best acquaint herself with the rich tradition and culture of Bellarmine, she reached out to a number of university alumni. She shares, “As I was making phone calls, I spoke to a senior alumnus and asked him about his experience at Bellarmine. I didn’t realize he was driving until he asked me to hold so he could pull over because he was in tears describing his love for the university. I found that level of pride very common in those I’ve had the opportunity to speak with.”

Donovan acknowledges the enormous responsibility required of her appointment as president, saying, “Parents and family members have loaned us their children, spouses and partners with the hopes and dreams of their transition into adulthood and toward more complete and inspired lives. The investment these families are making in a Bellarmine education will have a profound impact on their lives. I am confident that the long-held philosophy of educating the whole person, body, mind and spirit, is a lived reality here, and not one that is easily replicated.

I marvel at the opportunity I have to witness this on a daily basis.”

Bellarmine’s inauguration week will be a celebration of the university’s mission and values with a public lecture, opportunities to engage with Dr. Donovan complete with her inauguration ceremony and the Knight of Knights Gala.

“This is a great opportunity for us to celebrate Bellarmine’s demonstrable record as a vigorous and growing institution, while looking to the future under a new leader,” Mudd affirms. “It is also an opportunity for us to host scholars, administrators and delegates from other universities to celebrate higher education and the enlightenment that comes with it.”

With Dr. Donovan’s experience, leadership, compassion and vision, it is an exciting time to be a Knight. VT 1 0 . 2 6 . 2 0 1 7 V O I C E -T R I B U N E . C O M

entucky Country Day boys soccer team finished their season with a 12-5 record and bounced back from a dismal 8-11 season during their 2016 campaign.

Although their season ended prematurely after losing to Christian Academy-Louisville in the 28th district round of the playoffs, Muhammed Draw was able to finish his high school career as the leader and only starting senior on this year’s team.

Coach Barnard Baker credited his team’s success to their unwavering passion and willingness to compete and be committed to a championship-like culture. One of his challenges this season though was age. The team was scarce when it came to veteran leadership by starting five freshmen and Draw being the only starting senior. The Bearcats had three seniors on their roster, but they played more of a mentor role for the younger guys.

But it was Draw who galvanized and led the troops this season. He ended the year with a team-leading 27 goals to go along with 8 assists.

KCD allowed only 20 points to their opponents, and in their 12 victories, they had 8 shut-out wins. This means Draw scored more goals in the season alone than their opponents collectively.

“Muhammed was a fearless competitor who never backs down from a challenge. He was also a great teammate who was always there for his fellow player,” says Baker.

Not only was he able to be there to support his teammates through his numbers, Baker says Draw had stamina unlike anything he had ever seen in other high school soccer players. “He had a motor that never stopped. He played through every challenge and never quit. He was sprinting at 100 mph to everything.”

By starting and playing on the field with so many younger guys, it didn’t take long for underclassmen to glean from the upperclassman as they worked diligently to improve their game for the future. Draw’s strong will to work and 1 0 . 2 6 . 2 0 1 7 V O I C E -T R I B U N E . C O M

work rate were contagious. Baker says the younger players were able to see how hard work outweighs talent, but also how it sustained a player when talent didn’t want to work.

When asked how he was able to lead the team in goals and cause havoc for opponents, Draw says, “I’ve learned to work hard for a full game and not take time off. My coaches taught me to do the work before the ball is passed to me and to be more efficient around the goal.”

The greatest incentive for Draw was not relishing the limelight as the team leader, but it was being a part of something that was bigger than him. What will he miss the most once he graduates? The connection and bond he was able to establish with his teammates and experiencing how those relationships can be impactful both on and off the field.

“We all valued each other the same, whether we were playing in a game, at practice, in school or just hanging out. Everyone on the team played an important role in each other’s lives and we played for each other,” he says.

Having led a team back to winning ways and posting stellar numbers in his final season, Draw — who felt if he didn’t work hard then he was letting his teammates and coaches down — wanted to leave a legacy behind and be remembered not for his stats but for his “character, hard work and dedication.”

“I want future players to love their team and this game as much as I have,” he says.

It says a lot for a young man whose very game was predicated on those same principles.

Baker believes he will leave a mark and be cherished in this program for years to come. VT

In the Kitchen with Kathy Cary

estaurateur Kathy Cary is a Louisville icon, a multi-year James Beard Award nominee, a national figure in Southern cooking and the person who spearheaded Louisville’s farm-to-table movement. No one could blame her if she had an oversized ego, but there is no trace of one.

To her, food, family and culture are intricately linked. “When I was growing up, our tradition was to have family meals together.

Sunday lunches and holidays were a big deal, with grandparents, cousins, aunts and uncles.

And there were wonderful conversations about the food or whatever anyone wanted to talk about. I think people today are missing out on those kinds of close conversations,” she says.

Much of the family’s food was grown on

their farm, establishing her lifelong connection to planting and harvesting what she cooks. She remembers trips to the cellar to retrieve the food she, her mother and grandmother had canned earlier in the year. “The cellar, a scary place that had cobwebs, spiders and only a tiny light became a wine cellar. It wasn’t a fancy wine cellar, but it served its purpose,” she remembers.

Cary’s appreciation of fresh ingredients and her love of cooking flourished, leading her to enroll in Cordon Bleu classes and to start a catering business in the Georgetown area of Washington, D.C. Most Louisvillians first knew her as a professional chef when she was the opening chef at the Fig Tree. The work was grueling 1 0 . 2 6 . 2 0 1 7 V O I C E -T R I B U N E . C O M

but fanned the flames of her passion for the restaurant business. “We were fine dining. I was 21 years old and worked my tail off. The owners really didn’t care how I was suffering in the kitchen. I took it for a year until I had had enough. That was when I decided if I were ever going to be in the business, it would have to be in my own restaurant,” she says.

Taking a hiatus from cooking for a living, her life took a sharp turn into retail at Stewart Dry Goods, the venerable Louisville department store, where she was the fashion director. She was also host of the store’s “When Company Comes, with Kathy Nash” events. Describing the events as “very ‘70s,” she recounts them as how-to presentations on table settings and entertaining.

All of her early experiences led to her opening La Peche Gourmet-to-Go and Lilly’s Bistro. As an owner, she soon learned not everyone on the staff could keep up with her pace. She also learned that even as an owner, and as a woman in a male dominated industry, she had to guard what she said, often hesitating to criticize her staff because she was afraid they would become upset and leave. But soon she realized she needed to take control if she wanted to build her reputation as a chef and restaurant owner.

Her reputation spread from Louisville to all over the country. Along with her burgeoning national presence was her championing of farm-to-table eating. What started out as a movement among a cadre of dedicated professionals and consumers has been embraced as a welcome alternative to processed food. Farmers and purveyors have become stars in their own right. Cary looks forward to the day farm-to-table will no longer be a catchphrase, but an “of course, this is how we eat” philosophy.

1 0 . 2 6 . 2 0 1 7 V O I C E -T R I B U N E . C O M

Her journey to achieving top tier chef status has led to many media appearances, including her time on Martha Stewart’s television show. As she tells it, “Martha had worn a suede jacket for a shot prior to the one with me. Somehow, she got a stain on it. When a staffer offered to try to remove the stain, Martha yelled, ‘It won’t come off. It’s suede!’ Who knows why she would wear a suede jacket while she was cooking? She was absolutely awful to everyone around her, but when the cameras started rolling, she was nice. When we were finished, I said I had shorted the salt and asked her how the dish tasted. ‘You tell me,’ she said and walked away. The people who worked for her were lovely and just put up with her. Good for them. I don’t need to see her again, ever.”

She says it has been a privilege to meet and sometimes cook with chefs such as Wolfgang Puck, Jeremiah Tower and Rick Bayless.

She met Julia Child several times and once danced with Jacques Pepin. She sums it up as a wild ride.

Having spent thousands of hours cooking professionally, she never tires of cooking at home. “Cooking is relaxing; it’s therapy for me. I usually cook barefoot. My husband may participate and my son likes to cook, so it can be a laid back, no pressure, family affair.

I don’t have strict rules. I invite people at the last minute, and if unexpected guests show up, that’s fine,” she says.

She wishes that the casual approach to cooking were contagious and offers some easy to use advice. “Don’t be afraid. Follow some simple recipes and experiment. If you mess up something, don’t fret. Just put it into soup or make a casserole. And, don’t watch all those doggone cooking shows and think you have to compete.” VT

Holiday Entertaining Taste Tips

t’s a common and nearly unavoidable dinner party planning mistake to get caught in the preparation only to realize you are out of time when your guests arrive. The house looks great and the appetizers are superb, but you are still wearing elements of the night’s dinner on your apron. A great way to encourage socializing among your guests so you can duck away to finish getting ready is to present a signature cocktail upon entry.

By the time you join the group, “spirits” will be high and dinner mishaps barely noticeable. These cocktail recipes make the perfect welcome for the upcoming holiday season.

pets of the week Meet Iggy! Iggy is an awesome, two-year-old Retriever mix that came to the Kentucky Humane Society when her owner could no longer care for her. Iggy is a very sweet dog and would make a great companion for just about anyone.

According to her previous owners, she gets along great with other dogs but would prefer a home without any kitties. They also said she is crate-trained, potty-trained and not destructive when left alone. She would love a home where she could go on fun adventures during the day, then cuddle up with a human at night. Some of her favorite things are going for walks and getting belly rubs! Iggy is spayed, micro-chipped and up-to-date on vaccinations. Come meet Iggy today at the Springhurst Feeders Supply, 9485 Brownsboro Road. For more on Iggy or any of our adoptable pets, please call 502-366-3355 or visit kyhumane. org.

Lady is a four-year-old cuddle-bug! She came to the Kentucky Humane Society when a member of her previous family developed allergies. Now she’s looking for an allergy-free home and family! Lady has lived with other cats and a dog as well; while she adapted well to the other kitty, she was not a fan of the dog and would prefer to go to a feline-only home. She loves attention and even enjoys being held, often making little biscuits on your arm as you snuggle her. Lady is also a little playful and likes to chirp at people who pass her - she’s a great conversationalist!

She is spayed, micro-chipped and up-to-date on her vaccinations. You can visit Lady today at our East Campus, 1000 Lyndon Lane. For more on Lady or any of our adoptable pets, please call 502-366-3355 or visit kyhumane.org.

Abrams ‘hit the books’ to create ‘The Greatest: Muhammad Ali’

By Bill Doolittle

rowing up in California, Teddy Abrams was a bit of a boxing fan and aware of Muhammad Ali. When Abrams arrived in Louisville in 2014 as the new music director of the Louisville Orchestra, he got the chance to meet the former heavyweight champion and instantly decided he would compose a work honoring Ali. But the young conductor’s plan soon changed.

“The modest tribute I had in mind became a more urgent priority to me after his death,” says Abrams. “My intention had been to write a 15-minute portrait piece about Muhammad Ali. But it became clear to me that to condense a life of such incredible impact into a single work of art required a format on par with the a scale of the man himself.”

The result is “The Greatest: Muhammad Ali,” a full-scale musical production of the Louisville Orchestra that premieres Saturday night in Whitney Hall at the Kentucky Center. Abrams, the composer, conducts the orchestra with baritone Jubilant Sykes singing and directing the staging, which includes, poetry, songs, narration and dance. Jecorey Arthur is cast as Ali with Rhiannon Giddens in a lead singing role. Rosie Herrera creates choreography for the show and Olivia Dawkins is the narrator.

It’s a big production for a big story – and very much in the Teddy Abrams style.

“Ali is so much more than a boxer and even more than a man,” says Abrams. “Around the world he has become a symbol – the embodiment of many potent issues. His story leads into much broader implications.”

Of which, Abrams knew he needed to know more.

“I decided I would not compose any music until I learned more about Ali and the time period he lived in – no notes, not even themes.”

He began with the Ali biography “King of the World” by David Remnick, which Abrams calls a gateway book into the era.

“Remnick puts boxing into context so that he’s not so much describing the bouts, but explaining who these fighters were and what they meant to people during that era,” Abrams says.

The composer, born in the 1980s, found himself drawn magnetically into the ‘60s and ‘70s. He studied extensively until Abrams the music director decided it was time for Abrams the composer to stop studying and start writing. He began with a script and then the music flowed.

“I’ve written the lyrics to most of my own songs, but I didn’t have to write the key parts of this libretto because so much was already written,” Abrams explains in interview notes for the production. There are lines from Maya Angelou’s “And Still I Rise,” but also words from writers far less known.

“I found this heartbreaking poem about the 1965 riots and protest in Selma, Alabama,” he says. “It was written by a 16-year-old black student who was trying to interpret what was going on around him. It was perfect, and I knew it was his voice that needed to be heard.”

Abrams believes Ali’s story reflects some of the best, and some of the worst, of America.

“He didn’t have it all figured out,” he says.

“As he matured and learned, Ali changed and evolved in his thinking. You can see the progression from Cassius Clay, the 18-year-old boxer to Muhammad Ali, the activist who confronted the standards, even trying to break them in a dangerous way. Then growing into the internationally respected humanitarian.

“That’s what I loved,” Abrams says, “the incredible journey of his early career and life based on fighting that transformed into a life of celebrating and spreading peace and harmony.” VT 1 0 . 2 6 . 2 0 1 7 V O I C E -T R I B U N E . C O M

Though of course “going to a movie” is always an option, Speed Cinema at the Speed Art Museum offers a movie-going experience unlike any other – an experience to see films that likely won’t be screened elsewhere while getting treated to an educational journey, all within the comfort of the Speed’s state-of-the-art 142-seat theatre.

“One of the things I’ve said often is that people have such amazing access to film in so many different ways,” says Speed Art Museum Curator of Film Dean Otto, “but the thing that people are hungry for is to have that communal experience of seeing films all together in a group around like-minded people and to be able to discuss films.” Indeed, the experience of appreciating a unique piece of culture in a group setting, and in one where all are seeking the same level of appreciation, is a rare opportunity in Louisville, and the Speed takes it one step further with the educational components it infuses into its screenings.

“I think one of the things that’s special about Speed Cinema is that we have curatorial introductions and program notes that give more background on films as well as suggested reading and viewing,” he emphasizes. “And then we often have post-screening discussions – we do a lot of work with the University of Louisville to invite professors and other faculty here who have specialties in certain areas to do introductions and post-screening discussions.”

As far as what films are shown, they can range from restorations of classics to the most cutting-edge arthouse flicks. Otto maintains

1 0 . 2 6 . 2 0 1 7 V O I C E -T R I B U N E . C O M

that he relishes Speed Cinema’s frequent collaborations with social justice groups, but on a broader level, he is seeking to fill a formerly very noticeable void on the Louisville cultural landscape since the closing of The Vogue. This fall will see “Loving Vincent” – the world’s first fully painted feature film – screen October 27 through November 4, a rare several-day engagement due to the film’s extraordinary popularity. Other films coming soon include social justice film “For Ahkeem” and the eye-opening “Bombshell: The Hedy Lamarr Story.”

“Loving Vincent” is the world’s first fully painted feature film and screens October 27 through November 4.

If there’s no film on the schedule that particularly strikes your interest, Otto suggests visiting on Sunday afternoons for free Owsley Sunday Films because once you visit for the first time, you’re sure to come again. “We always have a free Sunday matinee here in the early afternoon,” Otto affirms. “Every Sunday, because of the free Owsley Sundays, the galleries are also free so it’s a really great way for people to cross the threshold for the very first time and to get an experience of what we have to offer here. I’ve always said that when somebody comes in once and sees the amazing technical presentations of the films here and how well things look and sound in the cinema, they’re going to want to come back.” VT

I don’t think a house with kids has to look like a playroom.

You shouldn’t have to wait until they’re older to have a beautiful home.

— Summer Eliason

Kid-Friendly Design

hen she was a child, Summer Eliason’s room in her father’s historic home bloomed with pink and green floral chintz. She remembers it being very fancy. Now that she’s a mother, she has toned down fancy for her own children, five-year-old Halston and 22-month-old Hutton.

Designing a home in which young children live presents challenges and an opportunity to blend inventive practicality with creative style. Eliason, a jewelry designer and an interior designer with Jenkins Eliason Interiors, proves the point in the Spanish-style Highlands home she shares her children and husband, Peter Thurman.

“I don’t think a house with kids has to look like a playroom. You shouldn’t have to wait until they’re older to have a beautiful home,” she says. “In our house, we don’t have a lot of breakables laying around but we’ve also tried to teach our kids not to touch certain things. It may be harder to do that

with boys than with girls because boys seem to be more physical. My dad says I just sat around and played with my Barbies. Our boys roughhouse and jump off the sofa all the time.”

Little spills and full-blown messes don’t bother her. As she explains, “We really live in our house and let the kids be active. And we have a 14-year old dog, Bonsai.”

She believes having children in the house is a good excuse not to be stuffy about design. Meeting her for only a few minutes lets you know she’s not a designer who would ever be stuffy or pretentious. She has a natural exuberance that plays out in her designs.

Painting most of the walls in her home white led her to add color through furniture, rugs, fabric and artwork. An added perk to a colorful interior is that toys abandoned in a room add their own, if maybe not totally planned, infusion of color.

Forgoing silks and other fragile upholstery fabrics in rooms where children spend a lot of time, she likes to use Sunbrella fabric or chenille, a heavy-duty fabric that can be cleaned with a minimum of fuss. Ditto for 1 0 . 2 6 . 2 0 1 7 V O I C E -T R I B U N E . C O M

design, but it is one of the most necessary. “I priced out a built-in for his room, but it was $4,000. I found a shelving unit at HomeGoods for $400,” she says. It accommodates baskets for his dinosaurs, and zoo and farm animal toys. There are also baskets for stuffed animals. “Sometimes I have to go through them and purge when no one’s home. Halston doesn’t like to purge, but my husband, especially, doesn’t like to purge.

“We’re a bedroom short in the house, so we used our master sitting room as Hutton’s nursery. We carried into that space the same window treatments as our bedroom, making a whole suite,” she says. Soon, Hutton will move into Halston’s room where they will sleep in bunk beds.

A couple of her design clients are interested in children’s theme rooms, such as Star Wars or a jungle motif. Rather than going all-out with a theme, she uses paint, area rugs and art to suggest a theme that can be switched out as interests change.

Allowing kids to have a say in the design of their rooms can be fun, but also tricky, depending on what they choose. Taking them to a paint store to see hundreds of paint chips might be overwhelming. A better idea is to pre-select options to present to them.

Eliason knows the time will come when Halston and Hutton will want to decorate their room by themselves. “I’m not ready for them to be old enough to put ugly posters on the wall, although I’m sure we’ll let them do whatever they want in their room. Maybe we’ll have some rules. Or maybe we’ll just walk away and close the door,” she says. VT

easily cleaned carpet or rugs. The quality and aesthetics of indoor/outdoor rugs that can be cleaned with a hose have improved so much that she selects them as much for their appearance as for their utilitarian merit.

A glass top coffee table is on hold until Halston and Hutton won’t be likely to run into it. For now, centered in her living room is a giant square wood coffee table.

Chairs in the dining room were painted before the seats were covered in kid-friendly vinyl that mimics ostrich leather. A peacock blue chandelier above the table is captivating eye candy.

“I saw a table for the breakfast room that I really liked but it wasn’t as practical for children as the beat-up pine table I bought.

I paired it with some fun chairs and linen peacock blue and white seashell pattern fabric window treatments. I ask the kids to keep their fingers off the draperies but that doesn’t work so well when they hide behind them,” says Eliason.

When she advises clients about children’s rooms, she emphasizes design that can be adapted as they grow. She sees people discarding the notion that babies’ rooms should be pink or blue. Halston’s original room was white with a whimsical chandelier and “unbaby” ikat pattern draperies in green, blue and white. In time, she and Thurman removed the glider in which they had spent many hours rocking Halston, as well as the crib they replaced with a big boy bed.

As Halston’s getting older, he needs more places to keep books and toys. Organization may not be the most interesting aspect of

To submit your business brief email circulation@redpinmedia.com BAPTIST HEALTH NAMES NEW CEO The chief operating officer (COO) of Wisconsin’s largest private employer and healthcare system has been named CEO of Baptist Health following a nationwide search.

Gerard “Ger” Colman will assume his new role with Baptist Health on Monday, December 4. The COO for the Aurora Health Care System in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, has been involved in healthcare for 25 years, with wide-ranging experience in operations, finance, information technology and physician engagement. He replaces Steve Hanson, who departed in March.

“Ger Colman has been preparing to take the reins as a CEO for his entire career – cultivating a wide range of skills necessary to oversee Baptist Health, Kentucky’s largest not-for-profit healthcare provider,” said Allen Rudd, Baptist Health Board of Directors chairman. “We are fortunate to have found someone with his breadth and depth of experience with not-for-profit and faith-based organizations.

“His initial objectives as CEO will be to learn about our markets, our mission, our vision and our direction for the future – and bring his expertise to bear in looking for new opportunities for Baptist Health.”

“I look forward to working with our Baptist Health presidents in the Kentuckiana area -- David Gray at Baptist Health Louisville, Dr. Daniel Eichenberger at Baptist Health Floyd and Clint Kaho, interim president at Baptist Health La Grange -- their respective boards, employees and physicians,” said Colman. “For nearly 100 years, Baptist Health has served its communities well, supported by its faith-based heritage. Baptist Health, as a market leader in Kentucky and Southern Indiana, is well positioned for continued success in adapting to the changing healthcare environment.”

The 47-year-old spent four years at Aurora Health Care with its 15 hospitals, more than 150 clinics and more than 70 pharmacy locations. Aurora employs 33,000 people and has a medical practice spanning three states with some 1,800 physicians and providers.

Baptist Health, with more than 25,000 employees, has eight hospitals (seven in Kentucky and one in Southern Indiana), more than 300 points of care and the Baptist Health Medical Group with about 1,100 physicians and other providers.

During his tenure at Aurora, Colman helped to reduce costs while focusing on establishing outpatient centers to bring patient care closer to home. He also led development of heart, cancer and rehabilitation programs.

STEVE WILSON AND LAURA LEE BROWN RECEIVE THE ‘LINDA BRUCKHEIMER EXCELLENCE IN RURAL PRESERVATION AWARD’ FROM PRESERVATION KENTUCKY The Annual Excellence in Preservation Awards Ceremony was held on Saturday, October 7 at the Historic John Dale House (hosted by John David and Mary Helen Myles) near Simpsonville.

They are also in the process of 1 0 . 2 6 . 2 0 1 7 V O I C E -T R I B U N E . C O M

Upon receiving the award, Laura Lee Brown stated, “Steve and I are very honored to receive this recognition.

We were surprised when we found out that this award was going to be given to us. It seems a little strange to be honored for doing what seems right and natural…

Together, we realized land conservation is one of our core values. Kentucky’s beautiful, wide open green spaces are its most valuable asset!”

JACLYN JOURNEY WEDDINGS ACQUIRES BRADY & COMPANY EVENTS Louisville-based event planning company Jaclyn Journey Weddings is expanding with the acquisition of Brady & Company Events. The acquisition of the company, owned

by Melissa Brady, comes after more than three years of the team’s collaborative work. The addition allows Journey to expand her offerings as well as offer more expertise in destination weddings.

“Melissa and I have worked together for years and as we both grew our businesses, we realized that our skill sets complemented each other perfectly. I like to say Melissa is my right hand and my left brain – she’s really streamlined the way we look at projects.” said Jaclyn Journey, owner and lead designer. “It made sense for us to combine our businesses to expand both of our offerings and give brides an even more personalized, custom planning experience.”

Jaclyn Journey Weddings started in 2010 and currently takes on between five and eight weddings a year. Journey, who is known for her attention to detail and distinct aesthetic, was most recently named Best Planner in the South by Southern Living. Her work has been featured in Glamour, Style Me Pretty and Southern Weddings.

Moving forward, Brady will manage all event logistics while Journey focuses on the design, details and personalization of each event. Both Journey and Brady have been featured in Martha Stewart Weddings. She was also featured on the cover of Flower Magazine, Unveiled and in Houston Bridal Magazine among others.

Brady has more than 10 years of event experience with a specific focus on weddings. Her work in Louisville began in 2011 with the Hermitage Classic before becoming the Events Manager at the Kentucky Derby Museum. She started Brady & Company Events with her husband Mike Brady in 2014. Prior to moving to Louisville, she worked as the Events Manager at The Grand Oaks, a wedding venue in Central Florida.

PROFILE

At the Ready

By Graham Pilotte

I

t may be true that it only takes twenty minutes to get anywhere in Louisville, but parking once you get there might be more difficult. Luckily, Ready Valet – a local business that’s prepared to take care of any valet and parking needs is – on hand.

“We’re a local valet company, specializing in high-end events, hotels and restaurants,” explains founder Chase Barmore. “We also do private parties and fundraisers. We’re the experts – we can make sure the flow of traffic is very smooth and everyone gets into the event, without waiting or worrying about where to park.”

Ready Valet Founder Chase Barmore.

Barmore started the company after realizing that Louisville had unmet event needs. “I saw a need for this,” he explains. “People need valet, and they have a higher level READY VALET of expectation. There are a few 502.966.7320 valet companies around, but it’s not their main form of income, ReadyValet.com and they don’t have management staff or enough of a regular staff.

We’re actually a company, and we’re building staff as well as building a great reputation within the city.

“My team helps the event planners with whatever they want,” Barmore explains. “If you want to shut down a street and have a tent in the middle, we can help with those logistics and make sure guests are coming in and out smoothly. We also do parking lot management. We’re basically a full-service parking company.”

This reputation is something Barmore has built from scratch. “I’m thirty-one years old, and Louisville has given me a chance to be an entrepreneur,” he says. “I was a valet before I started Ready Valet. I’m very service-driven, I

loved parking cars and I saw an opportunity, so I started this business with just one client.” Barmore’s entrepreneurial instinct has served him well. “Today we do over three hundred events a year. I founded Ready Valet back in 2008 when the Ryder Cup came into town,” Barmore says.

“Next year, we’ll be ten years old.”

Ready Valet has also demonstrated a commitment to ethical responsibility, going above and beyond to keep guests and the larger Louisville community safe. “We’re one of the first lines of defense to combat drunk driving,” Barmore explains seriously. “We train our staff to keep an eye out for intoxicated drivers – that’s one thing people don’t think about, but it does happen. We can get a point of contact to make sure we get a guest home safely, by getting them an Uber or by sending one of our guys home with them.” Ready Valet is part of the Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over campaign. Their business ethics are part of what makes the company unique.

In addition, Ready Valet is always prepared to flexibly support your event. “We can think on our feet,” Barmore says. “Sometimes thunderstorms happen and we’ll be very creative. We have backup plans – maybe we want to park in a field, but we’ll have to find a parking lot down the street and use shuttle cars.

Sometimes it’s a mile, three miles away.” They make sure that guests are not inconvenienced.

“Not everyone at the party knows,” he says with a laugh. “We just handle everything so that they think it’s going great.”

When planning your next event, consider calling Ready Valet for any parking and valet needs. “We’re looking to grow,” Barmore says with a smile. “We’re ready to take care of your car – for whatever you need.” VT

BASSETT, ROSANNA Rosanna Bassett, 96, peacefully joined her heavenly family while visiting her youngest daughter in Louisville, Kentucky on October 23, 2017. The oldest of three children, Rosanna was born in New York City on March 6, 1921 to Elizabeth Jane McTaggart and William McLaughlin.

In the throes of World War II, Petty Officers Ramon Bassett and Rosanna McLaughlin fell in love and married. In an equal and loving partnership, the 57 years they spent together was proof of a once-in-a-lifetime love.

She awoke every morning with a smile on her face, and brightened the lives of many with her cheerful countenance, especially when she visited Tara’s friends in Louisville.

A Certified Master Teacher for 30 years, Rosanna trained and supervised teachers in Language Arts and Social Studies in grades one through nine. She taught speech, including helping hone the performance skills of her daughters. As part of the New Oregon Singers, Oregon’s “Official Ambassadors of Song,” the family traveled worldwide. Working for over 20 years with the United Service Organizations (USO), they entertained active military during the Vietnam War and afterward. Princess Grace of Monaco and Queen Elizabeth II of England were two of the many foreign dignitaries who issued “command performances” to the Singers.

Rosanna and Ramon were proud of their family’s membership in the Society of Mayflower Descendants and the Sons and Daughters of the American Revolution, and spent many happy hours in their motorhome, traveling cross-country researching necessary documentation to gain admission to those respected organizations.

At St. Peter Chanel Catholic Church in Atlanta, Rosanna was an active charter member of the Knights of Columbus Ladies Auxiliary, and a lector of the Word she loved.

Monsignor Frank McNamee called them “The Commander” and “The Chief,” for good reason. Rosanna co-founded and was Adjutant of the Ramon H. Bassett American Legion Post 319, and was a dedicated recruiter of veterans to the Legion. The Boys State/ Boys Nation Program was dear to her heart for many years. She and Ramon sought out, trained and sponsored a number of intelligent and talented rising seniors, one of whom was elected President of Boys Nation.

After Ramon’s death in 2013, Rosanna sold their home and as a charter member, lived happily and independently in Roswell’s St. George Village for over a decade near her 1 0 . 2 6 . 2 0 1 7 V O I C E -T R I B U N E . C O M

middle daughter, granddaughter and great grandson. Her joyful spirit, extraordinary intelligence and knowledge of the world made her a desired dinner companion, and the lake behind her wing made a pleasurable walking track for the conscientiously fit and trim sailor. She spent the past four years living in Florida with her oldest daughter and her husband and family, traveling and enjoying her golden years to the fullest.

She was a proud mother to Maureen Bassett Carson Bravo (Carmine) of Orlando, Florida; Kathleen Bassett Magnusson (Robert, deceased), of Atlanta, Georgia and Tara Bassett of Louisville, Kentucky. Rosanna is predeceased by her brother James McLaughlin, also a Navy WWII veteran, and Mary McLaughlin Scott (Charles), who along with her husband was a decorated, retired New York City Police Detective.

The youngest loves of her life were her grandchildren, including Kelly Rose Magnusson, Christopher Ramon Carson (Kathryn), Erin Carson Frauenheim (Ryan), Ryan Bassett Carson (Bethany), Christopher Thomas Bravo (Laura), Anthony Nicholas Bravo (Amelia) and Carmine Michael Bravo.

Rosanna deeply loved her fifteen great-grandchildren and five grand- and great-grand dogs (Brady Ramon, Wyatte Gunther, Gracie Lou, Hank and Scout), all of whom she adored and who adored her.

Thus ends the earthly chapter in the lives of two patriots. Rosanna has joined Ramon at “Post Everlasting,” serving the top Commander-in-Chief. Her funeral mass will be held Thursday, October 26 at 6 p.m. at St. Frances of Rome Catholic Church, 2119 Payne Street.

Contributions may be made to St Peter Chanel Catholic Church, 11330 Woodstock Road, Roswell, GA 30075, to be used at the discretion of Monsignor Peter Rau.

GLOVER, RANDALL A. “CHUBS” Randall A. “Chubs” Glover, 65, of Louisville passed away on Saturday October 21, 2017.

He was a 30 year employee of Ford Motor Company and a member of UAW, American Turners, Harrods Creek Boat Club, McMahan Fire Department, Kosair Shrine and Davern’s Tavern.

He was preceded in death by his parents, Charles and Eva Glover, and brothers, Doug and Robert Glover.

Survivors include his daughters, Malissa Peace and Sheri Glover (Keith Myers); son, F. Erick Barger; grandchildren, Justin Glover,
