It is so easy to take the community you live in for granted or stick to the familiar. That’s why I’m excited about this week’s cover story, 18 Things to Do in 2018, by writer JD Dotson. My hope is that the compilation of places to visit, experiences to enjoy and opportunities to connect with others serves as a gentle nudge to make the most of 2018.

Speaking of the next year, as I said in this space in my Jan. 4 letter, I’d like to hear what – who – you want to see in these pages and appreciate those of you who have already responded. Feedback from your audience is incredibly gratifying for an editor, particularly because it’s evidence that readers feel a sense of ownership. So, please, keep it coming.

You’ll notice we started a new Voice of Style feature called On Trend, which highlights the subject’s personal style. What’s fashionable is in the eye of the beholder, which means this new You know what else edition is going to be a lot of fun. If you know The Voice-Tribune a person, couple or even a family whose doesn’t charge for? fashion sense needs to be shared, let us know.

Coverage of events. Ever.”

As always, we want to know your business – literally. You can send press releases and announcements for publication in Business Briefs. We also welcome accompanying photos and illustrations. While space is limited, as long as the brief is relevant to our goal of sharing information applicable to the world of business, we almost always ensure it gets printed – and it doesn’t cost a thing.

You know what else The Voice-Tribune doesn’t charge for? Coverage of events. Ever.

While we can’t possibly cover every event and often have to pick and choose which ones we feature, when we do commit to coverage, we happily pay the photographer out of our editorial budget. We would never ask you, your business or your nonprofit organization to cover those costs – and haven’t since The Voice-Tribune began in 1949.

As you look ahead to what comes next in 2018, keep all of us at The Voice-Tribune posted by calling 502.897.8900 or emailing circulation@redpinmedia.com.

Wine Women and Shoes

W

hat’s more fun than an evening of wine and shoe shopping while supporting a great cause? Beats us. Wine Women and Shoes benefiting Family Scholar House will take place on Friday, March 2, at The Henry Clay. To learn about the history of the event and what’s in store for this year, we spoke with Family Scholar House Director of Mission Advancement Kellie Johnston.

How did Wine Women and Shoes get its start?

Wine Women and Shoes is the brainchild of Napa Valley vintner Elaine Honig.

While chatting with a girlfriend about the growing popularity of wine and food pairing events, they jokingly said, “Wine and shoe pairings would be a lot more fun!” And they were right. Wine Women and Shoes events are now in over 65 cities across the country and have raised more than $50,000,000 for women and children’s causes.

Five years ago, Family Scholar House CEO Cathe Dykstra, who has a well-known love of shoes, brought Wine Women and Shoes to Louisville and it has become the biggest annual fundraiser for Family Scholar House.

What will guests experience at this year’s event?

This year is our fifth annual Wine Women and Shoes, and we hope to bring a few new surprises to this year’s event. As always, our 8

guests will enjoy an evening of wine tastings, shopping, silent and live auctions with one-ofa-kind packages, a high-energy fashion show and, of course, the Shoe Guys, who always have a few surprises in store for the ladies. We don’t want to give too much away, but this year you can expect a brand new bourbon experience as well!

Are men welcome to join in the fun?

Men are always welcome, but be prepared to be in the minority in the room! Since it was voted The Voice-Tribune’s Best Girls Night Out of 2017, that should tell you that this is mostly a ladies evening. An excellent way for men to get involved is to become a Shoe Guy. This special group of men volunteer their time and energy to make the evening extra special for the ladies by helping with shopping, pouring wine, taking pictures and making the evening fun. Men interested in becoming one of the Shoe Guys can contact me at kjohnston@familyscholarhouse.org.

How does this event benefit Family Scholar House?

100% of the proceeds from Wine Women and Shoes are used to support the services and programs of Family Scholar House to help very low-income single parents break the cycle of poverty by earning college degrees. Family Scholar House provides stable housing, academic advising and family support for 215 disadvantaged families, and will soon add 64 families to that number at our newest campus

on Cane Run Road opening in late January 2018. Because we receive no federal or state funding for our services and programs, events like Wine Women and Shoes are critical to ensuring our families succeed and achieve lifelong self-sufficiency.

Are there any sponsors we should thank for their support?

Family Scholar House has an amazing group of sponsors for Wine Women and Shoes. We are honored to have GE Appliances as our presenting sponsor for 2018 and Churchill Downs as our Key-to-the-Closet raffle drawing sponsor. Our media sponsors are WLKY and The Voice-Tribune, and Von Maur is our fashion show sponsor. Other key sponsors include ID+A, Aetna Better Health of Kentucky, Merkley Kendrick Jewelers, Terri Bass/Lenihan Sotheby’s and The Marian Group.

Is it too late to buy tickets?

Each year, tickets sell out more quickly than the year before, and this year we sold out on January 4! However, Churchill Downs Key-to-the-Closet raffle tickets are still available for a chance to win a $10,000 shopping spree to Von Maur, and raffle ticket purchasers this year will have first chance at next year’s event tickets. Tickets are $100 and only 200 will be sold. Raffle tickets may be purchased at www.winewomenandshoes.com/ louisville, and you do not have to be present to win.

onald McDonald House Charities of Kentuckiana (RMHCK) helps families whose children are staying in local hospitals by providing a “homeaway-from-home,” regardless of their ability to pay, so they can focus on their child’s recovery. Their annual gala fundraiser, the Red Tie Gala, helps them accomplish this mission and provide much needed assistance and comfort to parents. To learn more about this incredible event and the families it benefits, we spoke with RMHCK’s Development Manager Rebecca Washer.

What is The Red Tie Gala?

The RMHCK Red Tie Gala features a cocktail hour, a three-course meal, complimentary beverages, silent and live auctions and dancing late into the night. This year’s gala will be held at the Marriott Louisville Downtown on February 17.

How has the event evolved over the years?

Each year, the Red Tie Gala has grown in both the size of the event and in quality.

A few years ago we moved to mobile bidding with BidPal, which both creates ease for the guests during the auction and streamlines the check-in and check-out process. We’ve also added a cork pull and a photobooth, which are big hits with our guests.

What can guests expect at this year’s gala?

2018 Red Tie Gala This year, our auctions include new and unique items, the decor by In Bloom Again is to die for, and the three-course meal for this year is especially delicious. We expect to have over 600 guests in attendance!

How does the event benefit the RMHC and the greater community?

Last year our gala raised over $300,000!

As our largest event of the year, The Red Tie Gala is critical to helping us maintain our mission of providing a “home-away-fromhome” for families of children receiving medical treatments here in Louisville. Families are never turned away due to their ability to contribute, and we rely heavily on the community to help us support these families that have traveled to receive the incredible healthcare Louisville has to offer.

Are there any sponsors we should thank for their support?

We are thrilled to have McDonald’s Bluegrass Operator Association return as our presenting sponsor. This year’s Red Tie Gala is also sponsored by Commonwealth Bank & Trust, In Memory of Betty Rutledge, Martin Brower, Kosair Charities, Old 502 and Heaven Hill Brands.

Each year, the Red Tie Gala has grown in both the size of the event and in quality.

An UpLifting Experience

By Graham Pilotte

I

f getting in shape was your New Year’s resolution, 2018 may be your year. One uniquely personal gym, located inside a hangar at Bowman Field, is changing the way members approach their fitness journeys. Owner Angie Botts has created UpLift Training, and she’s making a significant difference one person at a time.

“A lot of the time, for our clients, it’s all about everybody else – in their jobs and at home,” Botts explains. “This is their hour to make what they want of it; it’s our opportunity to focus on them. Sometimes clients don’t get a lot of support with changing their exercise or eating habits. Maybe not everyone in their family is on board with it, but when we just touch one person, sometimes the whole family starts to come along.”

Walking into the gym surrounded by airplanes, you are “Angie does a great job of making it sustainable and immediately aware that UpLift is a new take on fitness. changing up the workouts,” Brent adds. “It’s a not an Walking into the gym surrounded by airintimidating environment; it’s very positive planes, you are immediately aware that UpLift and encouraging.

encourages prospective trainees to shadow a friend, try a class or use the drop-in rate to test out UpLift. “They can always talk to me if they’re unsure,” she says. “We can usually find something that fits them, whether that’s a class or training.”

One unique aspect of UpLift came about as part of Angie’s own experience as a new mom. “I realized that moms with little ones don’t really have anywhere to go exercise,” she explains. “No moms’ groups are really geared around fitness, exercise or health.” In response, she created her Mom Strong class.

“On Wednesday mornings at 10 a.m., moms can come work out and bring their kids,” she says. “They can bring little bitty babies in car seats, older children in a stroller or even older kids to camp out by the lounge chairs. That way if your baby is sleeping, needs a pacifier or is hungry, you’re right there.” Babies and little kids can stay right in the workout area, allowing moms to keep a close eye on their children while still getting a chance to chat and work out with other parents. “I don’t think there’s anything else out there like it,” Angie says.

From the Mom Strong class to personal workouts, UpLift is quickly building an incredible community of strong individuals. After just one class, the gym’s uniquely friendly and laid-back environment becomes clear, and it’s a truly empowering place. “I have to brag on Angie a little. If you’re here for an hour, it’s the best hour of your day,” Brent says.

“It’s going to be positive, it’s going to be all about you, and it’s going to be uplifting.” VT 13

ith the flu running rampant in Kentuckiana, it’s wise to do everything you can to prevent yourself from getting ill. Whether this includes getting a flu shot, buying stock in hand sanitizer or avoiding the sickly colleague at work, it’s best to safeguard yourself as much as you can. However, if you don’t manage to escape cold and flu season unscathed, don’t fret.

This ultra-nutritious version of chicken noodle soup is sure to get you back on your feet in no time. Now, get to the doctor, chug those liquids and get this soup on ASAP.

INGREDIENTS • 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cooked and shredded • Salt and freshly ground black pepper • 1 tbsp olive oil • 1 medium chopped yellow onion • 5 cloves garlic, minced • 7 cups chicken broth • 1 1/2 tsp dried oregano • 1 tbsp ground turmeric • 1 cup dried orzo pasta • 1 1/2 tsp lemon zest • 1/3 cup fresh lemon juice • 5 packed cups fresh Tuscan kale, roughly chopped • Servings: 6

INSTRUCTIONS Heat olive oil in a large, enameled dutch oven over medium-high heat. When hot, add onion and saute for three minutes. Add garlic and saute one more minute until fragrant.

Pour in chicken broth, oregano and turmeric, and season with salt and pepper to taste. Add shredded chicken breasts to the pot and bring to a simmer.

Add orzo, reduce heat to medium-low, cover and simmer stirring occasionally, about 8-10 minutes until the orzo is al dente.

Add lemon juice, lemon zest and kale, and heat through.

Serve warm. As soup rests, the pasta will absorb some of the broth. Feel free to add a little more broth as desired if you’re eating leftovers. VT

Antiquity and Accessibility

ven a native Louisvillian like myself hasn’t found every golden nugget our city has to offer. Tucked away off of Hikes Lane exist two acres of urban ground that has been owned by three generations (Hikes, Hunsinger and Stephens).

Built around 1820, Midlane Farm is home to Chas and Kim Laramore-Stephens, who lovingly rehabilitated it while paying homage to its history. While they welcome travelers from all over, this particular venue would be an ideal staycation for residents looking for a different experience. Chas shared, “There are not a whole lot of opportunities to stay in an almost 200-year-old farmhouse, so we feel like this is a unique place that’s full of historical elements.”

It all started when George Hikes came to Louisville from Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, in 1790 along with his wife, Barbara Oleweiler. Settling on a piece of land given to him for his service in the Revolution, they built a home and left ample land for farming. Over the course of its history, the home has been renovated with additions of back and side porches and inside plumbing among other restorations that have maintained the historical 0 1 . 1 8 . 2 0 1 8 V O I C E -T R I B U N E . C O M

LIFE

integrity of the home. It was placed on the National Register of Historic Places by the United States Department of the Interior in 1970. In the fall of 2013, Chas and Kim couldn’t bear to keep the magic of Midlane Farm to themselves any longer, so they opened it up to local and far-away visitors.

Full of Kentucky and Louisville history, each room has a story. Guests can choose the Traveler’s Quarters, which includes a private bath, or there is the option to rent the entire house, which has three bedrooms.

“We will also rent out the house for showers, birthday parties, and in fact, we’ve hosted several corporate holiday parties as well. The grounds also provide an extension, especially in the warmer months,” Chas shared.

“We have been so fortunate with the guests that have stayed with us, and have several that come back on a regular basis,” Kim said. Being centrally located has its perks. Chas and Kim are happy to direct guests to fabulous restaurants, share their own personal picks for touring locally and provide the rich history of the home. And for those guests with furry family members, they are welcome as well. In fact, if you stay at this lovely oasis, you will get the pleasure of meeting Rosie and Rufus, the canine ambassadors for this beautiful establishment, along with Tex, their furry feline friend.

nthony Wales was in middle school when he first met Fern Creek head coach James Schooler. Schooler would train him and his teammates as sixth graders, planting the seeds for them to blossom one day on the high school team.

During Wales’s middle school days, the connection grew between the two, and it was the winsome and magnetic personality of Schooler that began to have a major impact on Wales and his decision regarding high school.

“I trusted Coach Schooler based on what he had planned for us and what he wanted us to do, which was to win the regional and go to state,” says Wales. “I felt as though it would be the best fit for me to go to Fern Creek. I like the style that Coach Schooler wants us to play, so I thought it was a good fit for me.”

Schooler’s ability to motivate coupled with his indiscriminate attitude towards players based on talent made him “a great coach to have and to play for” in Wales’s eyes. But there was one incentive that Wales couldn’t turn down. Schooler must have tapped into his inner Godfather and made him an offer that he could not refuse as a middle school student – the keys to the team.

“By him having me come to Fern Creek, the relationship kept growing between us. Ever since he said he’d give me the keys to this team, we kept getting tighter and tighter,” Wales adds.

Now as a senior, he has used the keys to ignite the Tigers, and has driven this program to unprecedented levels of success during his high school tenure.

“It’s your responsibility to coach the entire team, but anytime you have a player with his abilities and the opportunity to play at the next level, you also have to coach players individually to help them reach their individual goals and abilities,” says Schooler. “I think it has been a great challenge and a test for me to be able to help develop him as an individual but also as a leader of a team.”

The Samford commit has emerged as one of the top players in the state of Kentucky, but he owes much credit to the relationship that has been cultivated with Coach Schooler over the years and the impact he has had both on and off the court.

On the hardwood, Schooler has challenged Wales in controlling his tempo as a point guard. As the coach on the court, it took growing pains for Wales to understand and embrace his role, but now that he is a veteran looking back in hindsight, he understands what it means to control the tempo.

Off the court, he has sought to control the tempos of life by implementing the life lessons Coach Schooler has taught him.

The Inseparable Bond Between Schooler and Wales

“He’s taught me how to be a man and how to be more professional,” says Wales. “‘The first impression is everything’ is something he preaches a lot, so I strive to do that every day, and to recognize that basketball is a business and it isn’t anything personal; it is just a business.”

When thinking about what impresses Schooler the most about his senior guard, he says, “His maturity and his understanding that it is a process in order to have a productive senior year and an opportunity to be able to play at the next level. I have been extremely impressed with his resolve off the court, to handle his academics, to put in extra work, but still be able to be a normal kid as well.”

The coach-player relationship in basketball has always been sacred in the athletic realm.

The lessons players take away from coaches and the mark players leave that enable coaches to look within themselves is all established through the bouncing of a ball. But even when the ball stops bouncing for Wales, Schooler says it will be the beginning of a new chapter between the two as the years progress.

“Much like a lot of the organizations that I run, it is bigger than basketball,” Schooler adds. “We are family off the court, regardless if he was playing or not, or if he was going to college to be a regular student, we would still have a strong relationship. What I try to teach my players is the business of basketball, so even when the ball stops bouncing for Anthony, I am sure there will be things we do in the community together. That is one of the great things about our organization: It goes beyond the ball bouncing.” VT

Nothing But a Good Time Acting Against Cancer brings ‘Rock of Ages’ to Louisville

By Graham Pilotte

LIFE

We try to use all local artists and designers, and we’ve continued to grow our audience base. The community is so supportive.

— Whitten Montgomery

F

or 19 years, one theater company has been uniquely changing lives throughout Louisville. Acting Against Cancer has an almost unprecedented mission: to combat cancer through theater and the arts.

And the company’s 2018 season is one you won’t want to miss.

“Acting Against Cancer is a nonprofit, semi-professional theater company,” explains Whitten Montgomery, managing director. “We produce a five-show season throughout the year, and we also have children’s programming after school. Any child touched by cancer can come to our classes for free.” The mainstage shows help to fund the classes, which allow kids to explore their creativity and express the passionate emotions that often come with seeing cancer up close at a young age.

Acting Against Cancer started in 1999, as Montgomery and her sister watched their mother battle non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma. The pair decided to raise money to fight cancer, and started with a basement production of “Annie” that raised $200 for the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society. Now, in 2018, the organization has grown into a fullfledged theater company that produces high-quality shows, raises community awareness and brings the healing power of the arts into the lives of children touched by cancer as well as raises hundreds of thousands of dollars to combat the disease.

Acting Against Cancer is already known around Louisville for its afterschool programs, which allow elementary and middle-schoolers to explore creative outlets and develop confidence.

“Fifty percent of our students receive free admission, because their lives are touched by cancer,” Montgomery says. “We’re starting rehearsals for this semester soon, and we’ll be performing ‘Aladdin Jr.’ and ‘Seussical Kids’ in May.” Fun, edgy and high-energy performances are also becoming Acting

0 1 . 1 8 . 2 0 1 8 V O I C E -T R I B U N E . C O M

Against Cancer’s hallmark, as the company is quickly developing a reputation for being the first to bring new musicals to the Louisville area. “We love doing a regional premiere,” Montgomery explains. “Our audience base is really young, so we like to do trendy shows and keep up with what’s going on in the world of Broadway.”

And soon, Acting Against Cancer will perform the regional premiere of “Rock of Ages.” The show is an ’80s jukebox musical featuring songs from Styx, Bon Jovi and Journey, along with other chart-toppers. “The basic plot is that a young rocker meets an actress, who turns out to be the girl of his dreams,” Montgomery explains.

“It’s built around songs like ‘Hit Me With Your Best Shot’ and ‘Don’t Stop Believing.’” And from the actors to the technical elements, audience members know to expect a terrific performance.

“For ‘Rock of Ages,’ they can especially look for some excellent costumes. We have some great pieces, from ‘80s glam to rocker grunge,” Montgomery says.

“There are also a lot of funny moments that will surprise the audience – the show has a number of characters who keep the plot going and keep everyone active in the show.”

The company’s talented artists and knockout shows are especially noteworthy, but most of all, Acting Against Cancer is dedicated to its mission and its community. “The Louisville community is where this company has grown up,” Montgomery says. “We try to use all local artists and designers, and we’ve continued to grow our audience base. The community is so supportive.”

Starting January 26, Acting Against Cancer will take on 2018 with a confident, energetic “Rock of Ages.” Their fresh take on these ’80s songs will bring a great energy into the new year, and it’s a show that no Louisvillian will want to miss. “We have a really cool arts presence in our community,” Montgomery says, “and we’re so glad to be a part of it.” VT

DESIGN YOUR OWN DOWNTOWN DISTILLERY TOUR.

FOLLOW THE PATH OF LOUISVILLE’S CIVIL RIGHTS MOVEMENT.

Louisville’s Civil Rights history is on display with self-guided walking and driving tours.

The University of Louisville’s Anne Braden Institute for Social Justice Research, the Louisville Convention and Visitors Bureau, The Muhammad Ali Center and The Kentucky Center for African American Heritage have produced interactive maps detailing the lives of African Americans and activists in the South’s most northern city. The longer tour takes you to the Muhammad Ali Center, Ali’s boyhood home, Anne Braden’s home and the site of a massive riot at Fontaine Ferry Amusement Park. Maps can be downloaded at louisville.edu/braden/oral-history-tours-exhibits/civil-rightsdriving-tour. Hard copies of the brochure, A SelfGuided Tour of Louisville’s Civil Rights History, are available at the Anne Braden Institute for Social Justice Research, the Muhammad Ali Center, the Kentucky Center for African American Heritage and the Louisville Convention and Visitors Bureau.

Tour downtown’s hottest distilleries from one end to the other. Make a day of it by starting at one end and working your way through downtown. Meet at Copper & Kings on your bike (biking to Copper & Kings will get you 50 percent off a tour), take the tour and taste some brandy before heading to the next stop. Ditch the bikes for an Uber or Lyft and work your way to Angel’s Envy’s beautiful new distillery, bottle your own bourbon at Jim Beam’s Urban Stillhouse, take the Evan Williams experience tour and end your day at Kentucky Peerless Distilling on the other end of downtown. Plan to spend the day touring and tasting but definitely set up tours and times in advance to guarantee your spots.

TAKE YOUR SWEET TOOTH ON A CANDY TOUR.

My sweet tooth has a mind of its own and came up with a deliciously sweet tour of Kentucky and Indiana’s signature candy makers. Schimpff’s Confectionery in Jeffersonville, Indiana, offers tours of the candy museum, candy-making demonstrations, a vintage soda fountain and candy store filled with all manner of sweet treats. Pop into Muth’s in Louisville and be sure to try a caramel-covered marshmallow Modjeska.

This Louisville original melts in your mouth and is offered in caramel and chocolate-dipped caramel, which translates to heaven and chocolate-dipped heaven. Next, make your way to Art Eatables, which has – hands down – the best bourbon-infused truffle. Pick up a Maker’s Mark truffle or one with Woodford or Buffalo Trace; the bourbon brands are distinguishable and give variety to each box. Then go next door to Cellar Door Chocolates and pick up a few sea salt caramels (you can thank me later). Then, it’s time to hop in the car and go to Frankfort’s Rebecca Ruth Candy Tours & Museum, which offers tours of the candy factory and a fascinating story of two teachers, Rebecca and Ruth, who decided they were better candy makers than educators. The birthplace of the bourbon ball is a fitting end to a sugar-filled tour in Kentucky.

Although I am tempted to assess my skills in my own backyard, smarter heads prevail and tell me to throw an axe in a safer, more controlled atmosphere. Flying Axes has hourly axe throwing ranges for partners, friends or groups and is available for custom axe throwing parties (yes, there’s such a thing and they’re a blast). If you find yourself amazingly adept at throwing an axe at a target, there also is an axe throwing league in the works at Flying Axes.

Enjoy a night of music in the classic cocktail lounge of the Breckinridge Inn. The main act appears Wednesday through Saturday at 10 p.m., but if you can, catch the pre-show with Freddy George on piano. Legendary vocalist Jerry Green and his friends will get you on the high-energy dance floor with pop, R&B hits and slow jams. Mr. Green and his band are a force of nature.

Forecastle Festival. Photo by Willie MacLean.

LEARN YOUR WAY AROUND THE KITCHEN WITH THE PROS.

I consider myself lucky in life for a myriad of reasons. I am not the greatest cook, nor would I even be considered a decent one. However, I am fortunately married to someone who would be a definite shoe-in on any Food Network Show. I am treated daily to culinary masterpieces. Since frozen pizza isn’t a proper “thank you,” I have found a couple alternatives for my foodie hubby. Cooking at Millie’s partners with local chefs to teach people like me the joys of cooking. With personal cooking stations, the students cook alongside the professionals, whipping up meals themed around, say, date nights, Kentucky menus, Italian or Indian cuisine and meals with wine pairings. Bridging the gap between kitchen and table, MESA brings a host of established chefs from around the region to New Albany. The collaborative kitchen pairs guests with a chef who prepares delicious, multi-course meals, events featuring desserts and cocktails and a host of other unique experiences.

Forecastle Festival is Louisville’s premier music, art and activism festival, drawing 75,000 people to Waterfront Park for three days of up-and-coming and nationally-recognized musicians, speakers, environmental organizations and local businesses. Selected as one of the “coolest festivals” by Rolling Stone, Forecastle comes back to town in mid-July with acts ranging from electronic to rock, new age to jazz and hip hop to bluegrass playing on multiple nautical-themed stages throughout the venue. Go for the big acts that you love, but make sure to check out a few you haven’t heard of yet. And, be on the lookout.

You may run into King Triton and a few mermaids “swimming” about while navigating the grounds.

If you’re a beer lover, here’s a challenge: Expand your horizons and try one of the more than 1,000 beers carried at Sergio’s. But – and listen carefully – don’t try this alone. Make the commitment to do so with a bunch of friends over the course of the year so you collectively accomplish this feat (I said try one of every beer here; I didn’t say consume).

If you take on this “task,” remember a few tips: Bring cash, at some point try the shrimp ceviche and the feijoada and cheese steak (order double meat) and be safe by taking CityScoot, an Uber, a Lyft, a taxi or designating a non-drinking driver.

INDULGE IN THE AVOCADO MILKSHAKE AT VIETNAM KITCHEN.

I have worked my way around the vast menu at Vietnam Kitchen many times over the years. Everything is always delicious and filling, and the service is excellent.

This has been an ongoing love affair for nearly 15 years, and though I like to order something different every time I go there, I always get the avocado milkshake for starters. Thick, green, creamy and delicious, the milkshake is my not-so-secret indulgence. I tend to finish the whole thing, which is filling but worth it.

Sure, it could be shared, but then finishing your meal leads to less leftovers, and second lunch is still pretty good a couple of hours (or days) later.

GET PERSONAL WHEN IT COMES TO GIVING BACK.

Attending events and galas is imperative to the well-being of so many of our local charities, as is serving on a board, volunteering and donating goods and services.

This year, commit to giving back in a way that feels personal to you. It could be something as simple as paying for the car behind you at your local coffee shop or anonymously springing for the meal of the veteran, police officer or firefighter nearby. Maybe you’ve always wanted to be on a board or give your time but didn’t know how to start the process.

Pick a cause and start asking questions. Or perhaps you’ve told yourself you’re too busy to really get involved. We all know we make time for the things we want to do and the people we want to do them with. Find a way to make giving back to others a personal endeavor. I promise, everyone will benefit. VT

Here, There and Everywhere

hen we sailed out of the spectacular Hong Kong Harbor on the Seven Seas Voyager it was with some misgivings. First of all, it was in the evening and the harbor was somewhat foggy. That didn’t deter all of the magical lights that cover the building surrounding the harbor. And, we love visiting there and seeing old friends at the markets.

It is such a magical and fascinating place. It is truly a melting pot of many cultures, styles of architecture and people. It never ceases to surprise and please you. We were also pleased to know that we will be back in Hong Kong in the next month or so. Our cruise is a series of segments and we double back to a number of ports, which is just fine with us.

We set sail that evening across the South China Sea to Ha Long Bay in Vietnam. After a full day at sea, we arrived and anchored at our destination. It was at this point that a lot of our fellow passengers took a 12-hour excursion to Hanoi. This requires nearly four hours on a coach in each direction. We had been there before, so we chose to go on an excursion called “Cruising the Monoliths.”

The scenery is breathtaking. Huge rocky monoliths jut out from the Gulf of Tonkin like rugged fingers, changing color constantly in the sunlight. There are literally thousands of limestone figures of all shapes and sizes. The best and almost only way to visit Ha Long Bay is to hire a “junk” and work your way among the passageways from the port at Ha Long City on the mainland.

Ha Long Bay means “bay of descending dragons.” An old legend tells of a massive dragon which appeared and spat out pearls to block invading ships. The pearls became the islands, which shield Ha Long Bay from the rest of the Gulf of Tonkin.

Each island is more spectacular than the next with trees hanging off the rocky cliffs and dark shadows of the caves that permeate the formations. Steep walls assure that almost all of the islands are uninhabited, but hidden within some of the coves, entire villages are seen floating on the water.

Among the many shapes, there is an island that resembles a man looking towards the mainland, aptly named Man’s Head Island; and island that looks like a dragon hovering above the water, named Dragon Island; and an Island that resembles an old man fishing, named La Vong. Other islands named for their appearance are the islands of the Sail, the Pair of Roosters and the Incense Burner. At the core of the islands there are wonderful caves and grottos. It has been proven by scientists

that Ha Long was one of the first cradles of human existence in the area. In all, the bay is made up of 1,969 islands.

That evening we went by coach to a local theater to see a unique cultural event, a water puppet show.

It is the sort of thing you want to see once.

When guests walk into the theater it has all the appearances of a conventional theater with a stage in front with a curtain. In front of the curtain is an orchestra “pit” filled with water, and this is where the performance takes place. Six or eight unseen puppeteers stand in the water behind the curtain and operate the puppets on long poles horizontally. Puppets representing fish, people and all sorts of animals cavort in the water to tell simple stories.

It wasn’t Shakespeare by a long shot, but it was charming and not too long. Get it?

The next day was spent at sea once again.

Our next visit was to one of our favorite places, Ho Chi Minh City (formerly known as Saigon). It is the largest city in Vietnam. It was the capital of the French colony of CochinChina and later of the Republic of South Vietnam (from 1955-75). It fell to the communists in April of 1975, and has a population of 9 million people. It is expected to grow to 13.9 million people by 2025!

South Vietnam fought against the communist North Vietnamese and Viet Cong during the Vietnam War, and with aid from the United States and countries including Australia, New Zealand and South Korea. Saigon fell when it was captured by the communists on April 30, 1975, ending the war with a Communist victory. Vietnam was then turned into a communist state with the South overtaken.

We saw the Minh Phuong lacquerware factory and the lace makers and visited Reunification Palace and the Jade Emperor pagoda.

We then went on to the Ben Thanh Market.

We were busy but obviously not as busy as the Vietnamese!

On the second day, we took a long excursion to the Mekong River Delta. After an hour and a half drive to the town of My Tho, we visited the ancient Vinh Trang Pagoda. Then, we drove to a boat pier along the Mekong River bank where we boarded a local boat and enjoyed a cruise along this very busy river.

Along the way, we stopped at Thoi Son Island and visited a village. At one point we stopped at an outdoor café where we were treated to tea sweetened with local honey and bee pollen.

The tea was accompanied by banana crisps and little sweet berries whose name escapes me.

Further down the path, we stopped again for more treats. This time it was bowls of local fruits including mango, papaya and 0 1 . 1 8 . 2 0 1 8 V O I C E -T R I B U N E . C O M

grapefruit. A bowl of local sea salt mixed with hot chilis was there for dipping the fruit. Not necessarily a custom we are used to, but really good.

The excursion was finished by a terrifying (to me) ride in a sampan along the canals of the island. Each little boat was rowed by a local in the front and back, and seated four passengers. They were very rocky, and we were told to sit in the middle so it wouldn’t turn over and keep our hands inside the boat. Yipee! There was no way back. To get out of the thing you had to summon all of your strength and stand up without going into the water, then climb up a four-step gadget to dry land. I sort of landed flat on my stomach on the dock, and four charming, strong men picked me up and salvaged my pride all at the same time.

The next day was spent cruising the Gulf of Thailand 0 1 . 1 8 . 2 0 1 8 V O I C E -T R I B U N E . C O M

and we were in Laem Chabang (Bangkok). We visited the Temple of Dawn (Wat Arun).

The impressive silhouette of Wat Arun’s towering spires is one of the most recognized in Southeast Asia. Constructed during the first half of the 19th century in the ancient Khmer style, the stupa showcasing the ornate floral pattern decked out in glazed porcelain is stunning up close. Apart from its beauty, Wat Arun symbolizes the birth of the Rattanakosin Period and the founding of the new capital after Ayutthaya fell.

The Grand Palace and Wat Phra Kaew command respect from all who walk in their sacred grounds. It was built in 1782, and for 150 years served as the home of the Thai Kings and the Royal Court. The Grand Palace continues to have visitors in awe of its beautiful architecture and intricate detail. Wat Phra Kaew enshrines Phra Kaew Morakot

The enormous Laughing Buddha at the Vinh Trang ancient pagoda in My Tho, Vietnam.

(The Emerald Buddha), the sacred Buddha image meticulously carved from a single block of emerald. It is amazing!

The pioneer of all floating markets, Damnoen Saduak, continues to offer an authentic experience despite its increasingly touristy atmosphere. Imagine dozens of wooden boats floating by, each laden to the brim with

farm-fresh fruits, vegetables or flowers. Food vendors fill their vessels with cauldrons and charcoal grills, ready to whip up a bowl of “boat noodle” or seafood skewers upon request.

Our next stop will be Ko Samui, Thailand, where we will visit an elephant camp and have an authentic Thai lunch off the ship. VT 41

Woodstock era art by Peter Max at Bethel Woods Center for the Arts.

Woodstock at the Speed

By Janice Carter Levitch

here it was: a beautiful landscape painting I had only heard about was now on display at our very own Speed Art Museum.

Standing in front of it here in Louisville, I was reminded of visiting The Louvre in Paris, where I made a beeline for the famous Mona Lisa, which, to my surprise, was shielded behind a clear Lucite box, protecting her from any possible damage. The painting I had come to see at The Speed was not covered by such a box but was within reach. The beautiful brush strokes of the countryside in Woodstock, New York, were mesmerizing. The artist, Blanche Lazzell, born in West Virginia, had spent some time in Paris studying the visual effects of different color combinations.

She had painted the oil on canvas titled “Landscape” in 1917. Her bold mix of colors offers a glimpse at the beauty of an area of the Catskill Mountains called Woodstock.

The quiet stillness of her art triggered thoughts of the famous Woodstock Festival, held 52 years after she painted “Landscape.”

The Woodstock Music & Art Fair – informally, the Woodstock Music Festival or simply Woodstock – was a music festival held in August 1969. It attracted an audience of approximately 500,000 people and took place on a patch of a 600-acre dairy farm in an area often referred to as a “hamlet” in the upstate New York town of Bethel.

Imagine a prediction of 500,000 young hippies (as they were referred to by locals)

arriving in your sleepy little town with a population barely reaching 4,000 residents. As Woodstock opened its gates on Aug. 15, 1969, the early estimates of attendance increased quickly.

There is a museum that honors and explores the unique experience of Woodstock that I had the opportunity to tour recently. Bethel Woods Center for the Arts highlights the cultural transformation and the legacies of the ’60s and Woodstock today. A “hippie bus” is on display in the museum, and you can board the bus as if en route to the festival. So, of course I boarded the bus. As you look out the windshield and side windows, footage of the original Woodstock plays. You feel transported as if you’re actually there; watching through the windows, you see mile after mile of cars pulled off to the 0 1 . 1 8 . 2 0 1 8 V O I C E -T R I B U N E . C O M

side of the road and jamming traffic. There were thousands of people making their pilgrimage on foot to the festival site.

Conceived as “Three Days of Peace and Music,” Woodstock was a partnership between John Roberts, Joel Rosenman, Artie Kornfield and Michael Lang. When the weekend of the festival arrived, the group had sold a total of 186,000 tickets and expected no more than 200,000 people to show up. By Friday night, thousands of eager early-arrivals were pushing through the entrance gates. The organizers were fearful they could not control the crowds and decided to open the concert to everyone free of charge.

After experiencing the “hippie bus,” I moved on to the next exhibit, a concert-in-the-round of sorts. As you walk into a dark, circular room surrounded by soft bean bag chairs on the floor, you get the idea something fun is about to happen. I found the perfect spot to sit and nestled myself into the oversized puffy chair. It was so large and comfortable, I felt as if I were out there in the field waiting for the concert to begin. And it did. Out of the dark walls music played and video screens began projecting images of the original footage. I was spellbound, artist after artist performing in the torrential downpour that created a mud bath for everyone attending. The footage played all around me creating the feeling that I was actually there.

You could hear the wind and rain slamming against the stage as the performers kept going despite the storm. Caught up in the storm and music, I felt a tug on my sleeve by someone telling me it was time to go.

Snapping back to the present moment, there I was back at The Speed gazing at the painting of the landscape in Woodstock. It’s fascinating what our imagination can trigger, connecting 0 1 . 1 8 . 2 0 1 8 V O I C E -T R I B U N E . C O M

one memory to another, one thought to the next. The Woodstock exhibit was an amazing opportunity, and I wonder if someday our own Speed Art Museum will honor our local Woodstock better known as Forecastle.

As art and music continue to blend their palette at The Speed, I have every confidence that the newly-appointed director, Stephen Reily, will continue to take things to the next level. I for one can’t wait to see what’s next.

Who knows? Maybe someday we will see our own version of the Forecastle “hippie bus” busting through the bow of the Speed. As you all know, Forecastle is defined as the forward part of a ship, and as the saying goes, “Full speed ahead.” VT

On The Job With Bailey Wynn of Bloomed Roots As told to Angie Fenton

y business started as a hobby I loved and became very passionate about. The more people learned about my plants, the more they wanted to know. In August 2016, it blossomed into Bloomed Roots, a pop-up shop I hope to turn into a brick and mortar store here in town.

We offer succulents and cacti, assorted arrangements, plant design for home and business, and we do weddings and events.

What sets my business apart from others is my passion and drive for each and every plant we sell. Each succulent or cacti we have is handpicked from the best greenhouses. We also hand-make our own organic succulent/ cacti soil to ensure the highest minerals and nutrients are provided. Not only do people get to adopt their new plant friend, but we provide care instructions, too. We want your plant experience to be set up for success.

My biggest challenge has definitely been figuring out how to successfully juggle working a full-time corporate job that requires some travel while

also putting as much time and focus into my business. The more my business grows, the stronger my drive gets and I love it. I’ve learned the little bumps along the way are just preparing me for the future.

After signing up for a few local vendor markets, I had markets reaching out to me wanting me to be a part of their events. I’ve also had the opportunity to showcase and sell our arrangements in The New Blak in Oxmoor Mall, a local women’s retail store. The owner, Amanda Dare Dougherty, runs her business based on the idea of empowering women.

My advice for other entrepreneurs is to not be afraid to step out of your comfort zone even if it makes you nervous. Owning and running your own business requires taking risks, but it’s worth it if you’re willing to work for it. Some of the leaps I’ve taken that made me nervous have turned into my biggest accomplishments so far.

People who inspire me include Amanda (of The New Blak) because she loves supporting women entrepreneurs. Running her own business while uplifting other small businesses is so much to take on. She truly has made me realize how important it is to lift each other up in order to succeed and connect with others.

Mike Pyle is someone who inspires me, too. He is a landscape designer based in California, and he also handcrafts amazing furniture. Mike marches to his own beat, and his work is always stunning.

He inspires me to do bigger and better things with my work on a daily basis.

I’m excited to say our website will be launching within the next few weeks; you can sign up to be notified when it launches at bloomedroots.co! Also, you can find us by searching “Bloomed Roots” on Facebook or Instagram. VT

The official poster of the Fight for Air Climb.

AWARD-WINNING ILLUSTRATOR TEAMS UP WITH AMERICAN LUNG ASSOCIATION FOR FIFTH ANNUAL FIGHT FOR AIR CLIMB Carol Schwartz, nationally-recognized illustrator and artist with over 60 published children’s books, has teamed up with the American Lung Association in Kentucky to design a piece of art to commemorate the Fifth Annual Fight for Air Climb in Louisville. The event, which invites participants and firefighters to race to the top of PNC Tower, takes place in downtown Louisville on Feb. 3.

Schwartz’s past work has been featured in an impressive range of collaborations, including The Original Art exhibit at the Society of Illustrators in New York, the Illustrators Club of Washington, D.C., National Geographic Society, Time-Life and the Washington Post.

But according to the artist, this piece, a poster featuring a colorful tree with a spiraling staircase, has a special meaning.

“While exploring ideas,” Schwartz explained, “I kept thinking of all the dedicated people who will meet the challenge of the stair climb and why they train for months to do something so difficult. They do it because it is personal.

It’s personal for me, too.”

Schwart’z close friend, Carol Tinkelman, pioneer for illustration education in the US and wife to acclaimed illustrator Murray Tinkelman, lost her battle with lung cancer in 2016.

“She fought the disease bravely,” Schwartz remembers. “I met Carol while attending the Hartford Art School Low Residency MFA program in Connecticut. That would have been enough to keep anyone busy, but her caring nature and generosity to students and professors alike made us all feel like family. If anyone had a problem, she was there to find a solution“ The poster honors Carol and her struggle with lung cancer, which kills more men and women in the U.S. each year than any

Mark Carter, CEO of Passport Health and Chair of the newly-formed Louisville Healthcare CEO Council, announced the appointment of Tammy York Day as President of the Council. York Day joins the council after a 21-year career with Delta Dental, most recently as the organization’s Chief Operating Officer.

“Tammy’s track record in business operations, systems integration, marketing campaigns and successful community initiatives made her a standout candidate during our search process. She brings the entrepreneurial mindset that we were looking for in an individual to launch the CEO Council,” said Carter.

The Louisville Healthcare CEO Council (LHCC) is a 501(c)4 organization formed in 2017 to leverage the collective influence of the area’s top healthcare CEOs to improve the healthcare economy of our region. A core initiative of the council will focus on aging innovation to capitalize on the local expertise currently engaged with the aging population.

“I’m thrilled to join the Council and to immediately engage not only with the CEO members, but with the potential ecosystem of partners that will solidify Louisville as the aging care capital of the nation,” said York Day. York Day’s first order of business will be to formalize the operations of the Council, create the brand identity and officially launch the Council with a special event.

“Our first showcase event will expose the strength of influence of our local healthcare CEOs to a wide audience through a unique entrepreneurial opportunity,” York Day said.

For at least the first year, the LHCC will lease space from Greater Louisville, Inc. The Council is completely autonomous but understands the benefits of early collaboration with GLI, Health Enterprises Network (HEN), Louisville Forward and other prominent community investors. Rick Remmers, one of the founding members of the LHCC and a Humana executive said, “It is not enough to run your company and be successful on your own; the expectation is that we collaborate and use our collective strength to impact and foster the growth of the community as well. “Working as a group of CEOs and opening our office right in the epicenter of our economic development and healthcare enterprise organizations is a natural fit as we get started on our aging innovation initiatives.”

LOUISVILLE CITY FC ADDS GOALKEEPER CHRIS HUBBARD TO COMPLETE ‘KEEPER CORPS Louisville City FC has finalized its ranks in the goalkeeper position with the addition of former University of Notre Dame standout goalkeeper Chris Hubbard, pending federation registration. Per club policy, terms of the contract will not be released.

Born in Louisville, Kentucky, Hubbard’s impressive career catapulted at Trinity High School, where he earned All-America honors as a senior and was named the Kentucky Gatorade Player of the Year.

With roots running deep, Hubbard has trained under the direction of LouCity FC goalkeeper coach Thabane Sutu since first crossing paths nearly a decade ago.

“To sign for my hometown club is awesome, especially because I’ve trained with everyone there the past few summers,” said the goalkeeper.

“I never would have thought that when Thabane [Sutu] was training me as a 12-year-old that I’d be at this point, and now it’s a dream come true. He’s like a second father to me. To be able to work with him again at this level is incredible. I get to essentially train with one of my best friends.”

In his final season for the Irish in South Bend, Indiana, Hubbard guided Notre Dame to the second round of the NCAA Tournament, racking up 52 saves in that span (0.97 GAA). Owning the net for his final three seasons for the Irish, Hubbard tallied up over 60 appearances – starting every competitive match – and 174 saves in total, keeping a clean sheet one-third of the time he was in net.

Preseason for the “Boys in Purple” will commence on Feb. 5 with the squad returning to Louisville before their twoweek stint at IMG Academy in Bradenton, Florida. Following the club’s 2017 USL Cupwinning campaign, season ticket packages for the 2018 season are currently available.

DERBY FESTIVAL ANNOUNCES PARADE THEME The Kentucky Derby Festival is combining nostalgia and a familiar social media trend for the 2018 Republic Bank Pegasus Parade set for Thursday, May 3. The theme of this year’s event will be “#ThrowbackThursday.”

Traditionally held on the Thursday of Derby week since 1956, the parade is the Festival’s oldest and inaugural event. Different themes have been chosen each year to help guide the decorations and music used by the participants.

“This year’s theme was inspired by all the energy and creativity that’s gone into the production of our parade since it started,” said Mike Berry, KDF President and CEO. “We’re inviting participants to pick their favorite parade themes when they decorate their units. Then, Broadway will become a trip down memory lane in May.” The Festival is currently looking for participants for the 2018 march down

Broadway. Participants are needed in the following categories: Equestrian, Specialty Unit, Marching Band, Inflatable and Float.

Applications can be downloaded at KDF. org.

The parade theme is used by sponsoring companies to help direct the building of floats and costuming of the inflatable handlers and crew. The floats compete for various awards based on originality, eye appeal, theme representation, animation, attention to detail and enthusiasm.

Marching bands use the theme to help with musical selection, and it is the basis of costume and concept design for the other marching units.

Republic Bank, title sponsor of the event since 2002, returns in 2018. “For the 17th year, Republic Bank is delighted to be the sponsor of the Republic Bank Pegasus Parade,” said Republic Bank Chairman and CEO Steve Trager. “We are very appreciative of our local communities that have helped us grow to become Kentucky’s largest locally owned community bank and honored to bring the Derby Festival’s oldest event to hundreds of thousands of spectators annually.”

KentuckyOne Health also returns as Contributing Sponsor. New this year, the Galt House will be the Official Hotel of the Pegasus Parade.

LOUISVILLE AREA HOME SALES UP 2% IN 2017 WITH MEDIAN PRICE UP 5% The Greater Louisville Association of Realtors® (GLAR) reported sales up 2.09% in 2017 compared to 2016. The average price was up 5.69% and the median price was up 5.03%.

In Jefferson County, the average price in 2017 was $207,127 and the median was $168,900. For all MLS areas, the inventory of available properties was 13.86% lower than at the same time last year. In Jefferson County, the inventory of homes and condos for sale was 11.17% lower than December 2016.

GLAR releases monthly statistics midmonth to allow for the most accurate and comprehensive reporting possible. Local REALTORS report their residential sales totals to GLAR, and publishing the statistics mid-month allows for the activity that takes place late in the month to be counted.

This ensures that the totals reported show the truest depiction of the local housing market.

GLAR President Dave Parks commented that, “2017 turned out to be a year of continued low inventory for starter homes and normalizing conditions for mid-priced and higher-end homes. We will likely see 30-year mortgage rates move towards 5%, but that should not have a big impact on affordability for buyers in the greater Louisville area.”

The National Association of Realtors’® Chief Economist Lawrence Yun recently observed that, “Faster economic growth in recent quarters, the booming stock market and continuous job gains are fueling substantial demand for buying a home.”
