THE GERTRUDE POLK BROWN LECTURE SERIES featuring New York Times bestselling author Robert Dallek In an era of such great national divisiveness, there could be no more timely biography of one of our greatest presidents than one that focuses on his unparalleled political ability as a uniter and consensus maker. Robert Dallek’s Franklin D. Roosevelt: A Political Life takes a fresh look at the many compelling questions that have attracted all his biographers including how a man who came from a privileged background became the greatest presidential champion of the country’s needy?

FROM THE

I always aim to keep my uber serious editor’s cap on when reviewing stories and columns, but Lisa Hornung’s profile about Dr. Erin Frazier made me take pause (and wipe away a tear). The breast cancer survivor and her family share her story in this issue, which includes a special moment when her daughter Anna made an unexpected announcement to her kindergarten class (I choked up again just writing that). I won’t ruin it for you and promise it’s worth the read. You can honor Erin by attending the 12th annual Derby Divas, which benefits the Norton Cancer Institute Breast Health Program, on April 19. You’ll find more details in the article featuring the courageous advocate for others.

Leave it to columnist Janice Carter Levitch to add to – and enhance – your personal list of must-try Kentucky experiences. In this issue, she speaks with distilling duo Joyce and Autumn Nethery – mother and daughter, respectively – who are behind Shelbyville’s Jeptha Creed Distillery. Don’t delay making time for a visit, advises Janice, who offers up several reasons why the venue is a must-see.

We are thrilled to sponsor KMAC COUTURE: Art Walks the Runway on April 14. The annual display of talent and ingenuity is inspiring. In this issue – thanks to photographer Gretchen Bell who shot on location at Blue Grass MOTORSPORTS – we offer a sneak peek of what attendees will experience and why this fabulous fashion show means so much to our city.

In the past several weeks, we’ve introduced several new features, including our most recent addition: Nonprofit News. If your charitable organization has something to share, please send it our way so we can help spread the good news. Just send an email to circulation@redpinmedia.com.

Warrick recommends yearly skin checks for everyone but particularly those who have experienced sun damage – whether by natural or human-made sunlight – and for those who have moles on their body.

Safety in the Sun The Skin Group’s Billy Warrick recommends taking in sunlight responsibly Story by Mariah Kline Photos by Kathryn Harrington William “Billy” Warrick, PA-C.

A

s we approach warmer weather, most of us look forward to spending time outside once more and taking in as much sunshine as possible.

However, taking in the sun’s rays over the course of a lifetime can cause severe sun damage and lead to skin cancer. To learn more about protection and prevention, we turned to the Skin Group’s William “Billy” Warrick, PA-C. Warrick has been in general dermatology for 13 years and has worked with Dr. Robert Zax – board certified dermatologist and managing member of the Skin Group – for 11 years. In addition to his general dermatology practice experience, Warrick has worked with countless skin cancer patients.

Many people consider sun damage a

non-issue if they only spend a few days at the beach a year and avoid using a tanning bed. While more people have learned about the dangers of tanning beds and they are not as popular as they once were, their effects continue to be a major issue for Warrick’s patients. Whether tanning bed users are younger or older, frequent usage causes damage that will age your skin quickly and can cause a variety of skin cancers.

However, tanning is not the only root cause of skin cancer. Warrick emphasizes that absolutely everyone who spends time in the sun is at risk.

“I can’t stress enough that people should get yearly skin checks,” he says. “The unnerving thing about UV radiation is that everybody is at risk. If you’ve been around the sun 0 3 . 2 9 . 2 0 1 8 V O I C E -T R I B U N E . C O M

at all, I believe you’re at risk.”

Warrick recommends yearly skin checks for everyone but particularly those who have experienced sun damage – whether by natural or human-made sunlight – and for those who have moles on their body.

“A general rule you can follow is to get a yearly skin check,” he says, “but if someone comes in and they look quite good, their sun damage isn’t that bad, they’re not freckled up or if they don’t have fair features, maybe they don’t necessarily need to be seen every year. Certainly, we still recommend sunscreen and sun avoidance, but in our world there’s so much sun damage that most people need a yearly skin check.”

The good news is that there are procedures available to treat and remove many types of skin cancer. According to Warrick, the most common issues he sees day-to-day are non-melanoma skin cancers – including squamous cell and basal cell – and atypical moles.

Dr. Zax performs Mohs surgery at the Skin Group’s downtown office and at their Brooks, Kentucky, location for more severe cases.

“Certain skin cancers that are on the torso, the arms or the legs, you can deal with sometimes with less invasive procedures,” he says. “But Mohs is such an important tool we use because the cure rate is upwards of 99.99 percent. It’s such an important tool to have.”

To avoid the need for such procedures in the first place, Warrick recommends abiding by certain skincare rules. Since the most intense sunlight usually comes between the hours of 10 a.m. and 2 p.m., it’s wise to protect yourself during those hours. When it comes to sunscreen, Warrick says to avoid sunscreens that claim to be “waterproof” or “water-resistant” since in all likelihood, they do not truly repel water. One key piece of advice that Warrick offers sounds simple enough but is often overlooked.

“Paying attention to your body is the most impactful thing you can do besides sun avoidance and using sunscreen,” he explains.

“So many people either see a spot and ignore it, or they may not know it’s there at all. If they’d been paying attention or had someone looking at their back, they’d find these things.

I cannot tell you how many times someone has come in for a rash or something else and I’ll say, ‘By the way, do you mind if I look at your back, behind your ears, places that you can’t see?’ Sure enough, there (a spot) will be. It happens all the time, and it’s never not alarming. I hate it for (my patients) because they aren’t expecting that.”

While we break out of our winter blues and approach the summer season, it’s imperative to protect yourself from the sun’s harmful rays, enjoy the sun in moderation and pay close attention to your skin. VT

ake a moment and think about how the clothes you wear impact your day. If you stay in your pajamas or sweats, chances are you might stick around the house, and you might even be less than productive. On the flip side, if you spend the time and energy to really get dressed – wearing something that makes you feel great – you radiate confidence and you’re ready to take on the world.

The same can be said for fitness gear. The moment you invest in a new pair of leggings or sneakers, you suddenly feel ready to conquer your next workout.

The purpose of exercise is not only to

keep you physically healthy; exercise improves mood, increases sleep quality, boosts your energy and helps to relieve stress. It’s about improving your mind, body and soul from the inside out. You are making an investment in your health and that’s something to be proud of, so match how exercise makes you feel on the inside with great style on the outside.

Working out (and looking good doing it) has definitely been made easier. Imagine having different and highly fashionable athletic wear in your wardrobe. Who wouldn’t want to show it off?

Regularly occurring talent includes: Paco Garcia of Con Huevos, Bobby Benjamin of Butchertown Grocery, Scott Dickenson of Gospel Bird and Hull & Highwater, Madeleine Dee of Fond, Richard Britney of Palatucci’s, Patrick Carter of Brooklyn and the Butcher, Andrew Welenken of La Chasse, Case Belcher of Four Barrel Fitness, Huber’s Starlight Distillery, Copper & Kings American Brandy Co., Cellar Door Chocolates, Capriole Goat Cheese Farms, Ballotin Whiskey and several more.

Husband and wife duo Bobby and Ysha Bass are the co-owners of MESA, and both are also realtors with Bass Group Real Estate in Jeffersonville. Selling properties in Indiana led them to uncover the up-and-coming potential along New Albany’s Pearl Street, close to New Albany’s riverfront and amphitheater amidst other locally owned shops and restaurants. Both share a passion to make MESA the culinary hub for Indiana and Kentucky chefs, purveyors and culinary aficionados.

It’s a family affair at MESA. Ysha’s father Rod Juarez is part owner and the general manager. Bobby and Ysha’s two children often give their input and ideas for the kid-focused activities. Juarez and his daughter Ysha are originally from Mexico, and drew inspiration from their culture when selecting a name for MESA, which means “table” in Spanish.

MESA diners are always greeted by Juarez and the Basses, who treat MESA like their home and visitors as their guests.

Advocate and Anchor Breast cancer survivor Erin Frazier is the 2018 Derby Divas honoree Story by Lisa Hornung Photos by Kathryn Harrington

F

ive years ago, Erin Frazier was occupied with her role as a pediatrician, a mom of three and an all-around active member of the community. She built her own practice to serve mostly Medicaid patients and low-income families. She was active and happy.

Despite having a clear mammogram only a few months before, Erin felt a lump in her breast.

As a doctor, she wasn’t too worried about it. She knew she would get it checked out, but it wasn’t at the top of her list of priorities. She mentioned it to her husband, Dr. Jim Frazier, but told him it was likely benign and not to worry.

Then one night, she dreamt that she had breast cancer. “I woke up the next morning and I told my husband, ‘I had a dream I had breast cancer last night, and it was really vivid,’ and I decided to get this checked out,” she said.

She got a mammogram, a second mammogram and an ultrasound, still believing that everything would be just fine. She had no family history of breast cancer and she was only 38 years old.

“The radiologist came in and said, ‘I’m 99 percent sure you have breast cancer,’ and I thought, ‘I have kids! I have young kids; I gotta be there for my kids!’ She said, ‘Don’t worry, we

caught it early and you’re gonna be there for your kids.’ I just think if I hadn’t had that dream, that was, you know, sent by God, I don’t know how much more serious this might have been.”

Erin is by no means alone in her diagnosis.

About one in eight women (around 12.4 percent) in the United States will develop invasive breast cancer in their lifetime, according to breastcancer.org. In 2018, an estimated 266,120 new cases of invasive breast cancer are expected to be diagnosed in women in the U.S. along with 63,960 new cases of non-invasive (in situ) breast cancer. It is the second most diagnosed cancer behind skin cancer.

Erin will serve as the honoree at this year’s Derby Divas event on April 19 at Rodes for Him and for Her on Brownsboro Road. The event – presented by Churchill Downs, Brown-Forman and the Diaz Family Foundation – raises funds for mammograms for low-income women.

The event excites Erin, she said, because the women that Derby Divas will help could be the mothers of her patients. “My passion is really high-risk, low-income patients,” she explained.

“These are mammograms for my patients’ mothers. To me, it’s a big circle. I’m also the medical director for prevention and wellness on the children’s side, and this is prevention and 0 3 . 2 9 . 2 0 1 8 V O I C E -T R I B U N E . C O M

wellness on the mothers’ side.

“I think so many of us know women or men who are diagnosed with breast cancer,” she continued. “It has touched so many people’s lives, so we’re all able to come together and either celebrate a survivor or remember those that were not able to win their fight. Raising money for mammograms for women who are struggling (and providing) the ability for them to go and get screened is so important.”

Erin knows walking the path of breast cancer is different for many women. “I can’t imagine what it must be like for someone who maybe felt a lump and needed a mammogram but didn’t feel like they could do it because of affordability,” she said. “I can’t imagine what that would be like, and that’s why these screening mobile units that go around the city and the state are so important to be funded.”

Erin herself had 15 rounds of chemotherapy, and then a double mastectomy and reconstruction. Because her cancer was hormone-receptor-positive, she now has to take shots every month to keep her body in early menopause to prevent the cancer from returning.

The chemo process was long and difficult for her, and she remembers the week before her final chemo appointment when she couldn’t face it any more. “I said to my husband, ‘I can’t do this anymore,’ and he said, ‘Come on, you’ve only got one more,’ and I said, ‘I know, but I just don’t want to be sick anymore!’”

Jim remembers watching his wife sleep at night. “I’d just look at her, and she looked so lifeless, and I’d reach over and put my hand on her chest and make sure she was still breathing,” he said. “Those were some of the toughest moments for me, just watching her just suffering through that treatment.”

Their daughter Anna, who was five years old when her mother was diagnosed, remembers being scared, too. “It’s really difficult to explain,” she said. “At first, it wasn’t that scary, but then when she went through chemo, I got really scared. My friend’s younger sister died of cancer.

Then, I was nervous.”

Anna’s parents get teary-eyed when they think of her. Now that Erin has had breast cancer, they know Anna is at risk and as she gets older, Erin and Jim will have to keep an eye on her health and hope that she doesn’t suffer the same diagnosis. Their sons Alex and Drew – who were seven and three, respectively, at the time of Erin’s diagnosis – said they mostly

remembered her hair falling out when she was sick. They preferred not to talk about their mom’s illness.

Erin managed to make it to her last appointment, and because of the hectic schedule of having three young children and chemotherapy, Anna didn’t have anything to take to her kindergarten class’ Share Time. When her teacher asked if she had anything to share, she told the class, “My mom doesn’t have cancer anymore.”

After chemo, Erin had the mastectomy and reconstructive surgery. She’s now been without cancer for five years and has become an advocate for women with breast cancer. Because of her experience, many women have called her when they’re diagnosed, and she has taken the time to talk to them, explain what to expect and help them understand what they’ll go through.

“She really has become an anchor for so many women with cancer,” Jim said. “I can’t tell you how many phone calls she gets just on a weekly basis; someone from school, church, one of her support groups – all getting new diagnoses. She takes her phone, goes to her room, closes her door and she just talks to them until they’re more comfortable with their diagnosis.

She’s also an advocate really, and I think it’s such a wonderful thing that she’s been able to do that for so many people.”

Erin said that having cancer has made her a more compassionate doctor. When you have a frightening diagnosis, she said every moment you spend waiting for answers can be excruciating. Having experienced that has made her more aware of what her patients and their parents are going through.

As a person, cancer has made her more aware of how short life can be. “I am trying – and it’s a continual trying – to not sweat the small stuff,” she said. “And really, most things are small stuff. You realize that life is what you make it.”

In 2013, Jim nominated his wife to walk in the Kentucky Oaks Survivors Parade. “Walking in the Oaks Parade was just a celebration of beating something that you never thought you’d have to face,” she said. “(It’s) a celebration of women being thankful to be alive and being thankful that we have treatment to keep us here so that we can raise our children.” VT 12TH ANNUAL DERBY DIVAS BENEFITING NORTON CANCER INSTITUTE BREAST HEALTH PROGRAM 6:30 to 9 p.m. April 19 Rodes For Him and For Her 4938 Brownsboro Road $60 pre-admission • $70 at the door • $35 young professional (30 and under) 502.629.8060 Rodes.com (click on Events)

You can experience this concert on April 6 and 7 at the Kentucky Center for the Performing Arts. Collaborations like this one don’t occur often, and it should not be missed, especially if you’re a fan of both of these musically creative and incredibly talented prodigies.

“What has become magical about the Louisville Orchestra is we have another golden era – a perfect match between the orchestra, the conductor and the community,” says Michelle Winters, the organization’s director of marketing. “Most people in Louisville are curious, open and like adventure.

Teddy Abrams has that same attitude and he brings it to the concerts. Creating amazing experiences for music lovers, sharing Teddy’s joy of exploring new music and making connections have become our specialty.”

UNBRIDLED CHARITABLE FOUNDATION, INC. RECOGNIZES 16 CHARITIES WITH PROCEEDS FROM DERBY EVE GALA

Event has raised more than $2.2 million for local and national charities.

The Unbridled Charitable Foundation, Inc. recently hosted a celebration of the 2017 gifts made to 16 nonprofit organizations at the Galt House Hotel, the home of the 2018 Unbridled Eve Derby Gala.

“Tammy and I, as well as the over 100 Unbridled Eve Derby Gala planning committee members and volunteers, are thrilled to be able to publicly recognize and acknowledge our primary beneficiaries and our 14 additional charity beneficiaries. Individually, we can each do a little but when we all come together and share our talents, we can do amazing things,” said Tonya York Dees, co-founder of the Unbridled Charitable Foundation, Inc. Blessings in a Backpack and the Jennifer Lawrence Arts Fund at the Fund for the Arts were the primary beneficiaries from last year’s event. Since its inception in 2012, the Unbridled Charitable Foundation, a 501(c)(3) organization founded by Dees and her sister Tammy York Day, has supported more than 30 charities with over $2.2 million in both direct proceeds from the Unbridled Eve Derby Gala and additional funding received from exposure in conjunction with the event. In addition, several of the charities received many direct donations through national media exposure.

“Blessings in a Backpack is blessed to be a beneficiary of the Unbridled Eve Derby Gala. Since 2012, the money donated by Unbridled Eve has provided 76,000 hunger-free weekends for kids across the nation, including Roosevelt Perry Elementary School in Louisville. It introduced us to one of our national partners – and largest donors – and helped put Blessings in a primetime spotlight, as Unbridled Eve celebrity guest and friend Robin Meade featured Blessings in a Backpack as her charity for CNN’s Champions for Change,” said Nikki Grizzle, Blessings in a Backpack chief marketing officer.

The 2017 gala beneficiaries included Animal Care Society, APRON, Inc., Blessings in a Backpack, Down Syndrome of Louisville, Jennifer Lawrence Arts Fund at the Fund for the Arts, Jefferson Community & Technical Foundation, Kentucky Natural Lands Trust, Kentucky State Police Trooper Island Camp, Metro United Way, Miracle League of Louisville, Inc., Operation Homefront, SOS International DBA Supplies Over Seas, Super Student Athletes, USA Cares, WESTEC (The Blue House) and Winter HAYven.

The 2018 Unbridled Eve Derby Gala, an official Kentucky Derby event, will be held at 7 p.m. May 4 at the Galt House Hotel Grand Ballroom. Tickets can be purchased at www.unbridledeve. com/tickets.

PRP Bowling Earns Another State Title Story by Randy Whetstone Jr. Photos courtesy of Julie Nichelson

T

he Pleasure Ridge Park girls’ bowling team recently won the state title during the state bowling championships held at Executive Strike & Spare on Phillips Lane. While the program has been successful over the years, many people may not know how Coach Julie Nichelson and her staff are able to produce great bowlers year-in and year-out, not to mention the number of obstacles the bowlers have been able to overcome. I had the chance to speak with Coach Nichelson about winning the state title and what has made this program so successful.

Describe what it means to win the bowling state title.

Winning a state title is the ultimate goal of every team and individual in high school sports. We have been fortunate to be able to win several times, but the process of doing so never gets easier.

How would you describe the program’s success over the years?

Our program has been strong since the beginning of high school bowling as a club sport in 2000. Our girls have won 10 state titles overall: five titles and one runner-up in the KHSAA era and five before that when it was sponsored by the Kentucky Bowling Proprietors Association. The boys team has one title from the years before KHSAA and two state runner-up finishes in the KHSAA era. It is rare for one or both teams to not be at the state tournament, and we usually finish in the top eight or better.

What made this season special?

For our girls, this season was special because they were able to win this title after a 24

Pleasure Ridge Park girls’ bowling team.

two-year absence from the state tournament.

In both of those years, we expected to be there, and were upset in the semifinals of our regional tournament. When it happened the first time, it bothered us, but when it happened a second time, it shook our confidence a little. This season we were able to regain our confidence in the system we have in place of developing our bowlers and it leading to success.

In what ways has the team knocked down the pins of life? In other words, how have you seen the team overcome obstacles to win a state title?

One of our best skilled bowlers on the girls’ team was unable to bowl this season due to a shoulder surgery in late October. She still attended every practice and match – even on the day of her surgery – to support her team and for them to support her in her healing.

We have had a few other girls and boys suffer minor injuries during the season, as well. Our boys had two bowlers out with emergency appendectomies this season, and all of our bowlers were affected by the loss of one of the teachers at the school this fall. For most of them, getting to bowl gives them a chance to have positive results when other things in life are not so kind.

What type of culture have you established as a coach?

Our school is fortunate to have a coaching staff that works well together as a team. I became head coach in the 2008-2009 season.

Don James has been with us since the early years – shortly after the school started the program – and is the heart and soul of the girl’s program. Phil Bohannon came on the staff the same season as I did, and Kevin Cox joined us in 2012-2013.

We strive to work as a team to set an example for the bowlers to work together the same way that we do. We encourage their best efforts not just in their bowling but in their academics, community service and respect for each other, for those who support them and for their opponents.

What is needed to sustain success for this program?

This program is sustained by several things: first and foremost is the support of the owners of Dixie Bowl, the Carter family, who have given us a place to practice and host home matches for a reasonable cost. Several businesses in the community offer financial support in the way of donations directly to the program or by donating door prize for our annual No-Tap fundraiser.

We also have fabulous support from our parents and extended families. This allows us as coaches and players to be able to focus our time almost exclusively on teaching and learning to bowl without distraction. This also allows us to keep every interested bowler (on the team) and field junior varsity teams rather than having to cut bowlers. The junior varsity program lets us have more continuity by developing younger bowlers who are at a skill level to join and contribute to the varsity program as other bowlers graduate and move on to adult leagues or college bowling.

“I grew up in Venezuela, and carnival was the biggest celebration of the year,” says Louisville Bespoke founder Yamilca Rodriguez. “There is a lot of bold color and eccentric fashion on display. It is very exciting.”

There are 14 designers presenting in this year’s show, and each will explore new silhouettes and colors inspired by spring. However, what makes this annual fashion event completely unique is that all handmade creations presented on the runway are available for purchase the same night as the show.

Milliners and bowtie makers are on the roster of designers as well, so local style mavens can also shop with Derby in mind.

What to Wear to

F

rom hand-painted dried fruits to coffee filters and candle wax, the unconventional materials used to construct the pieces featured in KMAC Couture: Art Walks the Runway are delightfully unique and always completely surprising.

KMAC Couture is an annual fashion show hosted by KMAC Museum that connects the local community with regional artists and their work, as well as the technical and creative process behind it.

“We wanted to have a fundraiser for the museum that gave people a creative experience while giving artists and the public a dynamic moment to connect and be inspired,” explains the museum’s executive director, Aldy Milliken, when talking about the conception of the event.

The inspiration for KMAC Couture came from the collaborations he established with a group of fashion designers when he lived and owned a gallery in Stockholm, Sweden.

“My experiences in Stockholm made me comfortable with fashion design and how one can create an artistic moment with live models in an art space,” says Milliken.

After being impressed by the creative work coming out of the duPont Manual textile department, Milliken asked the students to submit their work to the museum. With the student fashion designs and help of the museum’s board members, KMAC Couture was born in 2013.

“The first year, we hosted the show in the museum,” he says. “I wanted to do everything in the museum. So, we put artworks on the façade, opened the galleries and invited people to cram into the space for an incredible fashion show. It was an exciting, creative time at KMAC because everything was so new.”

Now, the event is hosted in a large, white tent located directly in front of KMAC Museum on West Main Street.

“KMAC Couture celebrates wearable art, but it also benefits KMAC Museum’s free exhibitions and educational programming,” explains the museum’s visitor coordinator, Kris Pettit. “These programs annually serve around 100,000 individuals.”

However, the event doesn’t just serve the local museum. It also gives artists a unique platform and the opportunity to display their work at KMAC Museum for a three-week period after the fashion show. Those who attend the event have an opportunity to meet the artists and see their handmade garments at the after party, which is held on the first floor of the museum.

“Having your work walk for a large audience who appreciates it is so gratifying,” says Liz Richter, a local artist who has been involved with the event since 2014.

Guests of KMAC Couture are asked to wear shades of white so couture pieces remain the focal point of the fashion show, which will be held April 14.

This year, the runway show will feature 52 pieces of wearable art created by 53 regional artists. These artists include milliners, costumers and fashion designers. Local high school students will also take part in KMAC Couture through a mentoring program that connects them to professional local artists. These established artists provide guidance throughout the entire KMAC Couture process.

This year’s theme explores personal stories and how individuals convey them with what they choose to wear. The inspiration behind the show’s theme was pulled from the visionary work created by the late Bill Cunningham, a photographer for The New York Times.

Cunningham’s muses ranged from Park Avenue socialites to punk, club kids. Regardless of where he found inspiration or how unexpected it may have been, these New Yorkers always inspired him.

“We are entrepreneurial in our attitude,” states Milliken. “KMAC Couture and the museum will continue to evolve, so people should expect the unexpected.” VT 0 3 . 2 9 . 2 0 1 8 V O I C E -T R I B U N E . C O M

A Week of Chance Encounters and History Lessons

By Carla Sue Broecker

O

ur odyssey on the Regent Seven Seas Voyager was approaching two and a half months when we got word that a hurricane was crossing the Tasman Sea, and we were going to feel it as we headed from New Zealand back to Sydney, Australia.

For two nights, we heard the banging of the waves on the side of the ship, but the very able crew nimbly guided the ship in a way that didn’t make it so bad. Thank goodness no one in our cabin gets seasick.

Once we were safely nestled in the dock at Sydney, we went ashore for a panoramic tour of the city. It is a fascinating city and there is a lot more than the Opera House and Harbour Bridge to see. What we really looked forward to on this two-day Sydney stay was seeing Rod and Margaret Kefford, a couple we met several years ago on a previous cruise.

Sailing out of Sydney’s Darling Harbour, we could see our friends’ apartment building: the light-colored one on the left.

The Keffords live in Sydney right on the harbor, and we visited their apartment a year ago. It is in a former hotel from the 1920s, and the view from their living room couch is astounding. You can see the Harbor Bridge with people climbing over the top and the iconic Sydney Opera House at the same time. Last year, we were their guests for a harborfront lunch nearby. This year, they joined us for lunch on our ship.

When they arrived, we enjoyed a couple of “Bloodies” by the top deck pool and then went to the main dining room for a leisurely lunch.

Margaret had had both of her knees replaced three weeks before, so after lunch we sent her home for a nap. When we sailed away that evening, we went right by their building and we 46

waved like crazy hoping they could see us.

Before the sail away, we had the routine boat drill, which means that all passengers take their life jackets to their muster stations to be taught how to put them on correctly in case of an emergency. Once taught, we are then paraded out onto the deck where the lifeboats are located and where we would board if there was a true emergency. During this drill, we were dutifully standing in rows on the deck awaiting final instructions when a hand tapped me on the shoulder. We turned to see who wanted our attention and happily found two smiling friends from Louisville – Al and Hazel Sullivan! We didn’t know they planned to be on the cruise. To our further surprise, they told us that our other friends, Ardi and Dick Wilson, were also on board. This immediately set the six of us up for some riotous dinners; there is not a shy one in the group.

Discovering old and new friends while cruising is one of the joys of the “sport,” and we love it.

That evening, the tail of the hurricane that we felt coming in stirred things up again, but still no seasickness for us. We are hardy sailors, and we were headed across more of the Tasman Sea to Brisbane with one objective in mind: a visit to a wonderful manicure place that we previously visited.

The ship has all of the personal amenities you could ever dream of. The Canyon Ranch Spa is particularly nice, but the prices are astronomical. Brad was as happy as I was to visit the place in Brisbane since he wanted a pedicure and my nails were a wreck. My last repair was in Saigon more than a month before. We both walked back to the ship looking smart.

After dinner that evening, we were entertained by Ray Solare from Northern England.

He is both an entertainer and the cruise director

1. Louisville friends L to R: Ardi Wilson, Al and Hazel Sullivan, and Dick Wilson, rear, on board the Seven Seas Voyager.

2. An owl that was part of the greeting party upon landing at Townsville, Australia.

3. Green turtle being cared for at Great Barrier Reef’s Aquarium Turtle Hospital in Townsville, Australia.

4. A really big fish in the Great Barrier Reef’s Aquarium.

I’ll just say it has been a unique and wonderful experience having them on board, and they have given a most entertaining and different slant to our sailing experience.

Now, back to sailing. After crossing a placid Coral Sea and the Great Barrier Reef, we arrived in Townsville, Australia and headed to a day at

the Great Barrier Reef Aquarium. This fascinating museum has an underwater viewing tunnel, offering magical views of a living coral reef and the predators that prowl the watery depths.

Cairns, Australia was next up.

We were lucky that historian Edward Barrack was on the ship since he was a wealth of information on the history of this part of the world, much of which he shared with us each evening during cocktail time.

We learned that Captain James Cook sailed up the North Queensland coast on his first voyage of discovery in June 1770 aboard his ship, the HM Bark Endeavour. He mapped the future site of Cairns, naming it Trinity Bay, but there is ongoing debate about Dutch explorers arriving on Cape York almost 170 years before Captain Cook. The journey down the coast by the H. M. Bark Endeavour was not a pleasant one for him since the Great Barrier Reef is one of the most difficult waterways in the world to navigate.

The Bark Endeavor was a small ship for the perilous journey it had undertaken.

It ran aground on a coral reef and sustained serious damage. The crew managed to limp to shore, where they found a river mouth where they could beach the battered ship. This river was later named the Endeavor River, and the town that grew on its banks became known as Cooktown.

Other geographical features were named to reflect the somewhat somber mood of the captain and crew; Cape Tribulation, Hope Island, Weary Bay and Trinity Bay. The land belonged to the Walubara Yidinji people, who still recognize local indigenous property rights and interest in the area. Cairns was founded in 1876 due to the need to export gold that was discovered on the tablelands to the west of the inlet.

The swamps were gradually drained, and the sand ridges were filled with dried mud, sawdust from the local sawmills and ballast from the quarry at Edge Hill. A railway was constructed to Heberton and that opened land that was later used for agriculture on the lowlands (sugar cane, corn, rice, bananas and pineapples). The success of local agriculture helped Cairns to establish itself as a port.

During World War II, Cairns was used by the Allied Forces as a staging base for operations in the Pacific. After the war, Cairns slowly reinvented itself as a center for tourism.

Next week, we’ll see Darwin, Australia and Komodo Island, Indonesia, home of the Komodo dragons. VT

of the ship, but most importantly, he is our friend. Ray is the most talented person I know.

We have sailed with him for years, and he has become like family to many of us who have sailed with him.

Ray is a bachelor, and with his bachelor brother he owns an 18-bedroom home in the Lake District of England near Windermere.

They also have a number of restaurants and cinemas in that area and are quite the entrepreneurs.

Ray is known for his puppets, which he makes himself, and as a talented ventriloquist he becomes their voices as well. He is also a singer/dancer and performed in English music halls before he took to sailing. When he sings classics, including operatic pieces on the stage, he receives standing ovations.

Speaking of entertainment, I need to catch you up on a group that has joined us back in Auckland Our cruise director, entertainer and will stay and friend Ray Solare with one aboard through of his friends.

Bali. The group is called the Artful Travelers, and it is a joint venture between Artful Travelers Inc., Regent Seven Seas Cruises and PBS Television and Radio.

The group includes performers, producers, writers and others. On the ship, they do lectures, hold Q&A talks with cocktails and some even perform on the ship’s theater stage in evening.

Included in this cruise are documentary film producer John Scheinfeld, whose credits include the critically-acclaimed 2017 documentary “This is Bob Hope.” He is also credited with a 2004 documentary on the life of Bette Midler. It turned out that his wife of five years is an old colleague of Husband Brad, and it was a nice surprise to see her on the ship.

Also on board is Lois Vossen, the executive producer of “Independent Lens” on PBS, where she commissions documentary films; David Zippel, a Tony-Award winning lyricist and director; and actress Christine Andreas and her husband, Martin Sylvestri. She has been on Broadway, and he is a major musical arranger and songwriter. Together, they gave two different and amazing concerts in the evening.

There is far too much to try to cover about Artful Travelers. It would fill several columns, so

The Distilling Duo A Visit to Jeptha Creed Distillery Story and photos by Janice Carter Levitch

eet Joyce and Autumn Nethery, the mother and daughter duo behind Jeptha Creed Distillery in Shelbyville, just a stone’s throw away from Louisville. During my recent tour, I had a chance to talk with the duo.When asked about how the concept came to be, Joyce said, “We were wanting to build something for our children that they could use to build their careers on for incomes in the future. We wanted something that would incorporate the farm and my husband’s agricultural experiences and his upbringing as a dairy farmer. With my background in engineering, we combined those two things, and we knew we could build something for them. Ground to glass to distillery is what we came up with.”

The education required to become a distiller is an interesting journey to begin. “I studied brewing and distilling at a university in Scotland for one year,” said Autumn. “I was there studying before I was 21 because I couldn’t learn it here in the United States

being underage.” She took off to Scotland to the Heriot Watt University and had this to say about her experience there: “It was great, and I loved learning about spirits even though it was more scotch focused. But that’s what bourbon evolved from, scotch whiskey.”

So what did her fellow classmates and instructors at Heriot Watt think about the Kentucky gal coming over to Scotland to study? “They were welcoming, and I was the only female in my particular group,” Autumn said. But it wasn’t uncommon, and one of my professors was female.”

Autumn hopes that when guests come in for a tour, they leave with the feeling of being welcomed. “I hope you would walk away feeling like you’re a friend of Jeptha Creed. That’s really what this was built for, is to be like a ‘home away from home’ for people. It’s relaxing and comfortable. We don’t want it to feel industrial,” she said smiling. To their design vision, there isn’t a smidge of an industrial nuance to be found. The kitchen resembles something you’d find in a personal residence, which only adds to that welcoming atmosphere they strive to offer visitors. I personally cannot wait to experience the cooking classes they plan to offer in the near future.

The cocktail and tasting bar at the distillery hold a particular significance. “The wood for the tasting bar and the back bar came out of St. Patrick’s Cathedral in downtown Louisville,” explained Joyce. “When the archdioceses of Louisville was shutting down some churches, a local carpenter salvaged some of the wood from this church and made a bar out of it. The design is beautiful and maintains the cathedral-like, church symbolism of trinities and that ties in with the trinities we’ve got on our bottles.”

Joyce continued, ”We like the trinity because of the Scottish heritage and Celtic heritage that we have, and that it can be past, present and future. We just like the connection that it ties all of these pieces together.”

The distillery has a down-home feeling as you walk through the main entrance into a large, open space with a soaring ceiling. You immediately feel the warmth of the room, which was designed with wood finished in rich tones of brown that lend itself to a lodge atmosphere. Several display areas let you carouse and browse the retail items for sale.

At the tasting bar, I was presented with numerous choices of vodka, all distilled and infused with ingredients grown on the surrounding property. As I made my way through the unique vertical tasting (not a vintage tasting) of the infused vodkas, my palate was awakened with a newfound appreciation for the subtleties of each flavor, ranging from a delicious blueberry to a very drinkable coffee flavor.

At nearly a $4 million investment, the company produces vodka and moonshine along with bourbon. Family friendly, offering concerts on the outdoor patio during the warmer months of the year, Jeptha Creed is a must see. VT

TWO KENTUCKY ICONS LINK UP TO CREATE THE JIM BEAM NATURAL WATER SANCTUARY ALLIANCE AT BERNHEIM ARBORETUM & RESEARCH FOREST

21c Museum Hotel has announced a major multimedia exhibition exploring the role of costuming, iconography, and performance in constructing Identity and confronting history.

With over 35 participating artists representing Still from “Afro-Cosmonaut Alien” by Jefferson Pinder.

22 nationalities, “Dress Up, Speak Up” delivers a global investigation of these concepts, while reconfiguring, reimagining and reconstituting history to explore the legacy of European colonialism.

Bedecked and bejeweled, the figures populating “Dress Up, Speak Up” occupy fluid space and time, evoking past and present, fact and fiction, memory and desire, to illuminate the complexity of contemporary identity. From Ebony G. Patterson’s families, dancers, gangstas, and deceased; to the philosophers, dandies and faerie conjured by Yinka Shonibare MBE; to portraits derived from allegory, autobiography and the art canon by Titus Kaphar, Firelei Báez, Berni Searle, Vivek Vilasini, Fahamu Pecou and others; this pantheon of provocative and prophetic personages are costumed to enact and confront the legacy of embedded experience.

“Whether clad in the stylized garb of Enlightenment-era Europe, the traditional coverings of ancient religious tradition, or the gender-bending bling of popular culture, these representations of self and other role-play in real time, reaching back through history to address prevailing personal, social and political challenges,” says Chief Curator Alice Gray Stites. “For those who inherit a legacy of resisting cultural erasure, telling untold tales – lived, remembered or imagined – remains vital.”

Two Kentucky icons are embarking on an alliance to preserve and protect the pristine limestone water in the Clermont area.

Jim Beam, the world’s No. 1 selling bourbon whiskey, and Bernheim Arboretum & Research Forest, a 15,625 acre privately held forest just south of Louisville, have joined forces to develop a natural water sanctuary on Bernheim grounds immediately adjacent to the Jim Beam distillery.

Beginning as a one-year agreement, the Natural Water Sanctuary Alliance will protect water quality, restore wildlife habitats and reintroduce native plants and trees. This group is also working toward a long-term agreement to enhance environmental education, improve watershed protection planning and secure quality water.

“Great bourbon starts with great water,” said Freddie Noe, eighth generation Beam distiller. “In fact, the water in Clermont is one of the main reasons my family chose to settle here back in 1795. Jim Beam bourbon gets its distinct and wonderful taste, in part, from the local water, which is filtered naturally through limestone. We’re proud to team up with our neighbors at Bernheim to preserve this vital natural resource.”

The Jim Beam Natural Water Sanctuary Alliance at Bernheim Arboretum and Research Forest will concentrate on conservation activities across Bernheim, particularly within the Long-Lick and Wilson Creek watersheds. These areas feature large forest expanses, wetlands and the headwaters of three creeks and several small lakes that support wildlife, the surrounding communities and the production of Jim Beam bourbon.

Through this alliance, Jim Beam will also support Bernheim’s work to protect the federally endangered Indiana Bat and co-host an annual landowners’ workshop to educate the community and promote best practices in water conservation and forest stewardship.

“The importance of clean water cannot be overstated. It’s essential for wildlife. It’s essential for human life and it’s essential to our economy,” said Mark Wourms, Bernheim’s executive director. “We are grateful to have a corporate partner like Jim Beam that values protecting this vital natural resource.”

The Natural Water Sanctuary Alliance is the latest example of Beam Suntory’s dedication to protecting water and the environment, inspired by corporate parent Suntory Holdings, which has established 20 natural water sanctuaries throughout Japan.

COPPER & KINGS AMERICAN BRANDY CO. PROMOTES BRANDON O’DANIEL TO MASTER DISTILLER Louisville-based Copper & Kings American Brandy Co. has announced the promotion of Head Distiller Brandon O’Daniel to master distiller. O’Daniel has been head distiller of Copper & Kings since February 2014.

BUSINESS

MICHAEL KERSTING SELECTED AS NATIONAL YOUTH DELEGATE FOR PRESTIGIOUS CONFERENCE AT GEORGE MASON UNIVERSITY

He is a Kentucky-distilling Thoroughbred with a bloodline that goes back four generations. His great-grandfather was distilling in the 1920s, and whose confiscated still is rumored to be the largest in Kentucky history and the condenser “worm” of that still is believed to be stored at a Kentucky historical Brandon O’Daniel society. Brandon’s grandfather started in the Kentucky wine business in the 80s and his family remain in the Kentucky wine business today.

O’Daniel is an award winning wine-maker and viticulturist, and it is this unique wine-making experience and heritage that makes him singularly qualified to distill superb American style brandy in Louisville, Kentucky. His experience as a vintner enables a pedigreed palate and a deep knowledge of fermentation, fruit varietal nuance, blending, quality management and taste profiling.

He earned his bachelor’s degree in horticulture and master’s degree in plant and soil science with an emphasis in viticulture and oenology from the University of Kentucky.

“Brandon has mastered his craft,” says Copper & Kings founder Joe Heron.

“This is not an empty honorific, but reflects the skills and leadership of someone who is amongst the finest distillers of brandy in the world, and we can’t discount his excellent palate, his leadership of a full production team through example and education. We would be remiss in not recognizing him as an inventive alchemist when it comes to innovation – gin, Destillaré cordials, absinthe, bitters and more to come, we certainly breathe rare air when it comes to relentless innovation, with Brandon making the complex, and arcane, come to life in spirit form.”

pets of the week This handsome boy is Harley, a three-year-old Labrador mix. You may be wondering how such a cute pup like him ended up at the Kentucky Humane Society. Harley is brimming with energy and it sometimes ends up being too much for people. To help him with this, we enrolled Harley in our Behavior Modification program where he has truly shined! Harley has made great progress on his self-control and learned some fun tricks like sit, stay and leave it. Even though Harley has never known a true forever family, it has not dampened his spirits. He still wants to run around, play with toys and be the spirited boy he was born to be! Harley could use an active and patient home with people who will continue to work with him on perfecting his manners. He would also prefer a home with no cats or small children. Harley has done great with many dogs here at the shelter and would love to meet any potential dog siblings before going home to make sure they are a good match. Harley is determined to make his next home his final home. Could that be with you? He is already neutered, micro-chipped and up-to-date on vaccinations. Come meet Harley today at the Pewee Valley Feeders Supply, 12406 La Grange Road. For more on Harley or any of our adoptable pets, please call 502-366-3355 or visit kyhumane.org.

In need of a friend to spend your days with? A companion to keep your lap warm on those cold evenings? Meet Fluffy Cloud! Fluffy Cloud is a lovely, nine-year-old Domestic Longhair cat who came to the Kentucky Humane Society when her owner passed away. Fluffy was in her previous home for her entire life and is understandably a bit nervous in the shelter atmosphere. She’s hoping you’ll see past her fear to the wonderful girl she is inside! Fluffy Cloud lived with cats in her previous home and would probably do fine in a multiple cat household. She has never lived with a dog so we’re unsure how she would do with canines. Fluffy Cloud is a very sweet girl who’s hoping to find a family to love very soon. Could that be with you? Fluffy Cloud is spayed, micro-chipped and up-to-date on all vaccinations. Now all she needs is you! Come meet Fluffy Cloud today at the Springhurst Feeders Supply, 9485 Brownsboro Road.

For more on Fluffy Cloud or any of our adoptable pets, please call 502-366-3355 or visit kyhumane.org.
