EDITOR’S NOTE

Letter Editor

FROM THE

louisville ~ lexington ~ peppermintpalm.net ~ facebook ~ instagram

I don’t know if you’re keeping score, but Thunder Over Louisville 2018 has to rank among one of the best. The weather was gorgeous.

The air show was amazing – and chill-inducing at times. Anyone else hold their breath when a plane rockets straight up into the sky and then appears to stall and begin to fall back to earth? But above all, Wayne Hettinger and his team produced a fireworks display unlike any other this Michigan transplant has seen since enjoying my first one 15 years ago. From the mostly-disco soundtrack to watching fireworks sashay across the Clark Memorial Bridge in homage to John Travolta strutting his stuff on the dance floor as Tony Manero in “Saturday Night Fever,” the 30-minute show was perfection. Kudos to the Kentucky Derby Festival, and the Clarksville, Jeffersonville and Louisville police departments, too, for an exciting albeit safe experience for thousands of spectators. We’ll share our coverage of Thunder in the May 3 issue of The Voice-Tribune.

Speaking of Derby – and who isn’t this time of year? – there are a lot of folks who continue to give of their time, talents and resources year after year. Kudos to KDF President and CEO Mike Berry and the KDF team, who go to great lengths to ensure our community offers something for everyone, locals and visitors alike.

As grateful as I am for the faithfully committed, I get equally excited when introduced to individuals offering something fresh.

Tawana Bain, the focus of this week’s cover, is the founder of the Derby Diversity Business Summit, a new addition to the festivities that has garnered a lot of support. In addition to providing attendees with a worthwhile experience, the summit will donate a portion of proceeds to the National Association of Women Business Owners’ GROW program, which addresses challenges that occur during the varying stages of business growth and development while also providing tools for overcoming them. You can learn more about the event and Tawana in this week’s feature, which was written by Miranda McDonald.

Lastly, The Voice-Tribune is committed to promoting and supporting the arts. That’s why we’re introducing what will be a regularly-occurring round up of art exhibitions in galleries and businesses that also offer gallery space. If you have an exhibit you’d like to see highlighted in our pages, please send detailed information and high resolution images to circulation@redpinmedia.com.

It’s No Sweat!

Exercise is essential for a good night’s sleep

By Katie Kannapell Ryser

M

ost mornings – long before my alarm rings – one of my kids will crawl into my bed. It’s a gentle reminder that even though I don’t have to be up for another hour, they are awake and ready to start the day.

During these moments, my body aches for more sleep, but of course, children don’t quite understand concept and I Something as simple as this know I must roll out of exercising for 30 minutes a day bed and start my day earlier than planned.

As a business can increase your ability to get owner and mom of a restful night’s sleep. two young children, I understand the importance of sleep. But I also understand how it can sometimes feel impossible to get enough shut eye every night. It’s as if we are constantly in debt to our bodies, never re-paying it with enough sleep.

With so much going on in our lives, we crawl into bed at night wanting nothing Katie Kannapell Ryser more than to close our eyes and drift off into a peaceful rest until the next morning. is the owner of Club Pilates But sometimes shutting off our mind and and CycleBar. Both studios winding down at the end of the day can are located at the seem impossible.

The good news is, there are simple steps 4600 Shelbyville Road Plaza. you can take to make it easier to get that recommended eight-to-nine hours of shut eye a night. Something as simple as exercising for 30 minutes a day can increase your ability to get a restful night’s sleep.

A 2013 study conducted by the Journal of 10

Clinical Sleep Medicine confirmed that when participants exercised for 30 minutes a day four times a week over a 16-week period, they slept as much as an additional 1.25 hours per night over their non-exercising counterparts.

When you exercise, you fatigue your body and mind. You sweat, you spike your heart rate and you have to concentrate on what you are doing. As a result, you are not only getting the numerous benefits of exercise, but when your head hits the pillow at the end of the day, falling into sweet dreams becomes easier.

Exercise not only improves sleep, but in turn, a good night’s sleep improves your workouts.

On those mornings when my kids crawl into bed and wake me up several hours before I intended, finding the energy to workout throughout the day seems daunting.

A lack of sleep slows your reaction time and reduces focus, giving you a lethargic feeling we’re all too familiar with. When that tired feeling settles in, the chances of having a good workout – or even going to the gym at all – dramatically decrease.

We need to get our bodies out of debt by making an effort to get good, restful sleep each and every night (or at least as many nights as we can).

Just as the studies show, it does not have to be an hour of exercise a day. You can start with small goals like adding a 30-minute exercise to your daily routine two or three times a week and see how your sleep improves as time goes on. VT 0 4 . 2 6 . 2 0 1 8 V O I C E -T R I B U N E . C O M

Prep Your Home For Derby Like a PRO

P

reparing for Derby guests can be a laborious task, but it doesn’t have to be that way. We asked a few of our favorite local designers to share their top tips for getting your home ready for the first Saturday in May.

CHRISTOPHER WELSH CHRISTOPHER WELSH DESIGNS 9500 Springmont Place Louisville 502.873.6002 christopherwelshdesigns.com

If you’re entertaining over Derby weekend, get all of your grandmother’s old silver out and start polishing; the same goes for the crystal stemware that lives on a high shelf in a cabinet most of the year. Derby weekend is the perfect time to pull out all the stops and serve your friends in a little grander style than the usual weekend gathering. Nothing says “welcome to our Derby party” better than two dozen longstemmed red roses in a silver pitcher.

While you’re sprucing up the guest bedrooms for out-of-town guests, be sure to set out a carafe with a drinking glass on each nightstand along with a basket containing a few bottles of (water) nearby. A small, low vase with a single blossom in it is also a nice touch at each bedside. In addition, a stack of local books about architecture, history or local neighborhoods makes a good alternative for guests before bed instead of watching television. (By the way, I always recommend to my clients that they spend a night or two in each of their guest bedrooms just to see what the “guest experience” is really like.)

Make a trip to your favorite country ham dealer ASAP and pick up a half pound of thin-sliced country ham for each of your guests to hand to them – along with your favorite buttermilk biscuit recipe – as they depart after the festivities are over. Wrapped tightly in Saran wrap, placed in a ZipLoc bag and then in a thermal food bag or with a well-frozen small ice pack, the take-away gift will fit easily into a carry-on or into checked luggage and need no refrigeration for several hours. It’s the perfect remembrance of your guests’ visit when they arrive back home.

NATALIE OFFICER NATALIE O DESIGN 1000 Swan St., Suite 4 Louisville 773.425.0285 natalieodesign.com

Create a space for ladies to hang hats if you are entertaining on Derby Day; perhaps on a wall in your dining room or even on exterior fence posts in the yard. The combination will create a beautiful Derby display for the party and give (guests) a rest from the neck-tiring exercise of the day.

Fresh and abundant floral arrangements throughout your home are a stunning way to step up your game and are always enjoyed by friends. But, no need to be so “Derby” about it. Choosing textured and interesting containers gives an immediate update to your home.

You can even use your own containers.

Roll up the rugs, open the windows and put out the linens for a fresh feel. Pull up your traditional rugs, and put something fresh and durable down for the foot traffic. A nice jute or sisal will go a long way with limited expense. Put out as many fresh white linens as you can. Rain or shine they will be useful from the front door to the powder room and for buffet-style meals.

BARRY WOOLEY & JUDE LOEW BARRY WOOLEY DESIGNS 835 E. Main St. Louisville 502.569.7101 barrywooley.com

Barry: Derby season often means having out-of-town guests, so make sure your guest bedroom is all done up with nice linens and beautiful bedding. Any little touches to make your guests feel welcome will be much appreciated. Also, do not stress yourself out about decorating for a Derby party. Keep things simple with some floral arrangements.

If you use lilies and red roses you can use the arrangements for both Oaks and Derby day!

Jude: There’s nothing I find more enjoyable than drinking a good cocktail on a beautiful patio, so my (advice is) to spruce up your outdoor entertaining space with some nice patio furniture, some potted plants, maybe even a fire pit. My second tip is simple: Stock your bar. It’s Derby season, so a nice bottle of bourbon is a MUST. VT

My mother is a traditional meat and potatoes kind of girl from Portland, Louisville. She doesn’t seek out the most adventurous foods, but Donna Wilson knows what she likes: fried chicken and waffles! Although she’d rather die than say something negative, she won’t hesitate to tell you if your chicken and waffles aren’t up to snuff. I would cook up this Southern classic exactly how she likes them – waffles topped with strawberries and whipped cream; syrup on the side; and chicken pan-fried in a cast iron skillet, also on the side. She prefers the chicken not touch her waffles, but she will, on her own terms, dip the chicken in the syrup.”

The Glenview Garden Club Tour

SPOTLIGHT

As told by Publicity Chair Mary Anne Thornton

WHO’S IN CHARGE The Glenview Garden Club based here in Louisville is part of a larger umbrella organization, the Garden Club of America – a non-profit based in New York City. The Garden Club of America has more than 18,000 members belonging to 200 clubs like ours across the United States. The Glenview Garden Club first began here in 1928 and later in 1932, we became a member of the Garden Club of America. Every member contributes to the success of our tours.

Our mission is to stimulate the love of gardening, host open meetings and conferences for the public to learn about gardening and the environment and give back to the community through various garden projects.

WHAT TO EXPECT This year, we will showcase six outstanding private gardens, three of which have never been open to the public before.

Each has its own distinct personality and charm. One has two reflecting pools which mirror the design of the house. Another has a delightful potting shed and raised beds for fruits and vegetables. And another is located on a 1,000-acre farm, situated on a bluff with bison and horses overlooking the Ohio River. While there, visitors can check out the greenhouse where herbs used by the chef at Proof on Main are grown. At this same garden, you’ll also see museum-quality sculptures that were collected 14

from around the world.

Additionally, visitors can purchase unique garden items at our Garden Treasure Shop at one garden, plus LilyO’s Boutique will be located at another. A boxed lunch will be available on Saturday. For reservations for the box lunch, please go to our website, www.glenviewgardenclub.org

HOW IT HELPS When we host a tour, we select one project from the numerous proposals submitted by local nonprofit organizations. We choose the one that we feel has the most positive impact on our community and our environment. This year, the money raised by the tour will be given to the new Waterfront Botanical Garden in downtown Louisville to install an entrance garden off of Frankfort Avenue.

In recent years, we have gifted proceeds to the Olmsted Parks Conservancy to do a restoration project of the Barringer Springs area in Cherokee Park. We also assisted in funding the planting of the double allée of trees at the Parklands of Floyds Fork, which is part of the 21st Century Parks system.

Additionally, we funded the restoration work on the walled garden at Yew Dell Botanical Garden in Crestwood. Plus, we provided the funds for the planting of a mass of bald cypress trees in the lake at Bernheim Forest. VT

ON THE MENU Box lunches prepared by Gracious Plenty will be served on Saturday at Garden #2, 480 Lightfoot Road. Each box includes a wrap or sandwich, fruit cup, pasta salad, chips, cookie and water or iced tea. Available by reservation only.

Order forms are included with tickets.

• Vegetarian wrap (portobello mushrooms and grilled vegetables on whole wheat tortilla) • Turkey wrap (pesto and bacon on sundried tomato tortilla) • Chicken salad sandwich on whole wheat bread • Chicken salad on whole wheat tortilla • Gluten-free option (plain tortilla)

This whimsical collection is evocative of a fairytale world. “Short Cuts & Paper Tales” debuts 7 to 10 p.m. May 11 at Revelry Boutique Gallery, 742 E. Market St. 2. Time is running out to view the timeless exhibition “Women Artists in the Age of Impressionism” at the Speed Art Museum, 2035 S. Third St. The show celebrates the achievements of women artists working in late 19th century Paris, a vibrant cultural center where they found rich opportunities despite their restricted access to a male-dominated art world.

The more than 80 paintings by 37 women artists from 13 countries will depart Louisville for the Clark Art Institute in Williamstown, Massachusetts, after the exhibition closes at the Speed after May 13.

3. Award-winning Canadian photographer Peter Dusek’s work will be on display through June 30 at Paul Paletti Gallery, 713 E. Market St. #100. Inspired by the philosophies of Japanese Zen and Chinese Tao, Dusek places a strong emphasis on balance and negative space and his artistic design goal is “as little as possible, as much as necessary.” His style embodies the Japanese design aesthetic shibumi, which means “a quiet elegance.”

Tawana Bain and a slew of movers ‘n’ shakers in the business world are offering an all-new way to do Derby

There a number of ways to do Derby. This year, Tawana Bain is offering a new one.

Backed by a powerhouse of supporters – from Greater Louisville Inc., Churchill Downs and the Kentucky Derby Festival to LG&E, Republic Bank and Humana – Bain and her team will kick off the inaugural Derby Diversity Business Summit beginning May 2.

“We have a packed schedule of speakers and seminars during the summit, but we also have a little fun at the track when the day is over,” says Bain. “After all, it is still Derby week.”

The mission of the first-ever summit – which is presented by Pure Path Capital – is simple: to help support organizations that are for the advancement of diversely-owned businesses. The multi-day event will benefit its nonprofit partner, the National Association of Women Business Owners (NAWBO), which supports and elevates women business owners.

“This year, the goal is to write a check to NAWBO so that it can invest funds into their GROW program,” which addresses challenges that occur during the varying stages of business growth and development while also providing tools for overcoming them, explains Bain.

This year – and every subsequent year – a portion of each ticket sold for the Derby Diversity Summit, which runs Wednesday through Saturday the week of Derby, will go

toward funding local organizations. Ticket packages include a welcome reception on Wednesday with keynote speakers and panels every day the rest of the week. The summit also offers matchmaker sessions between corporations and suppliers on Thursday and visits to the track Friday and Saturday.

Another option for participants is attending Unbridled Eve on Derby Eve.

A DIFFERENT APPROACH Originally from upstate New York, Bain lived in Miami, Paris and several other cities before taking up residence in Louisville 15 years ago. She readily admits that she was initially unsure of the city. However, after experiencing her first Derby season, she fell in love and immediately decided to make Louisville her home. Since then, she has slowly built what some would call a mini empire.

In addition to founding the Derby Diversity Business Summit, Bain also owns a fashion store and is a full-time mom.

“If there is one thing you must know about me, it is that I don’t fit into a box,” says the multitasker. “I wish I had a cookie cutter approach to things, but the reality is that I can’t. Each role I take on requires a different approach.”

AFM THREADS Bain took on the role of business owner in 2006 when she opened the clothing store AFM Threads as a new venture for her son.

The fashion boutique initially only offered unique items for men, but in January of this year, Bain enlisted the help of new co-owner Ashley Anderson and rebranded AFM Threads as an upscale clothing boutique.

They now carry fashion-forward clothing and accessories for both men and women.

Although the fashion boutique – which is located in the Mall St. Matthews and also online – prides itself on enlisting a roster of rotating brands, a few mainstays include the flirty and figure-hugging label Va Va Voom; Manzini, a men’s clothing line dedicated to statement-making pieces; and footwear from the Italian shoe designer Jose Real.

... we all want to look and feel good, so why can’t we all shop together? I am tired of feeling like there are so many silos. It is time to tear those down.

— Tawana Bain

The labels featured at AFM Threads are chosen based on uniqueness, quality and trendiness, says Bain. “I appreciate the people who really take risks with their style. Too many of my friends say they can’t wear certain things in this city, but I just don’t think that is true.

I think Louisville is ready for people to really make a fashion statement,” explains Bain, as her eyes widen and hands shoot up in the air.

Her excitement over the possibility of Louisville being labeled as a compassionate and fashionable city is palpable.

When it comes to her own personal style, Bain believes comfort and function are important. She may start the day handling stock at her store and end it with meeting an important donor for cocktails. This need for versatility in her clothing is one reason Bain relies heavily on tailored outerwear to transition her looks. She also mentions that a comfortable, little black dress should be a staple in everyone’s wardrobe.

“If I am running to a networking function after I leave the store, I will throw a blazer over my casual black dress and change into a pair of heels. I am ready to go with just those two changes,” Bain says.

Her motto for nighttime style, on the other hand, is quite different. The business owner is less about function and more about having fun with her look once the workday is finished.

“I have been seen wearing sneakers with a gown. I am just at a point in my life where there are no rules. If I like what I am wearing, it looks good on me and I can own it, I wear it,” Bain states confidently.

She also believes fashion can play a big role in unifying the community. She maintains that it can bring people together by breaking barriers through conversations. “I don’t care what sexual orientation, religion or race you are,” she says. “At the end of the day, we all want to look and feel good, so why can’t we all shop together? I am tired of feeling like there are so many silos. It is time to tear those down.”

It is this idea of eliminating divisiveness that has kept Tawana moving forward with all she does. “When I think about all the things I do in the community,” she says, “I really just want to bring different groups of people together. People from all walks of life have helped me along the way. I just want to return the favor.” VT 0 4 . 2 6 . 2 0 1 8 V O I C E -T R I B U N E . C O M

So Long Hong Kong

A

s we sailed out of Kaohsiung, Taiwan, on the Seven Seas Voyager in the late afternoon, our captain gently warned us of an impending weather situation.

Once we were beyond the protection of the island, the winds were going to pick up and there were going to be some formidable swells just in time for dinner and lasting most of the night. As a precaution, he told us to walk carefully and hold handrails.

He was right. Thank goodness we don’t get seasick, but that’s not the case for everyone on this cruise. One passenger said that you can tell the drunks on a rolling ship since “they don’t stagger.”

Speaking of our wonderful captain, his name is Felice Patruno and he was born in the Bari Province of Southern Italy. The only son of three children, he grew up among the vineyards tended by his father. He wanted to follow in the footsteps of an uncle who was a baker until he saw a poster with a sailor wearing a white uniform. That changed his mind, and the rest is history. His family wasn’t happy about his career choice, but now they are very proud of him.

After 10 years of experience in cargo shipping, he became interested in the passenger cruise industry. He has served on 23 Carnival ships and overseen construction of three more Carnival ships. He also has written three books on shipboard safety. Wanting to become a part of the luxury cruise ship market, he joined Regent in 2009 as a staff captain and subsequently became the master of the Seven Seas Mariner. The Mariner is very similar to the Voyager, which he commands today.

We have had dinner with him a number of times, mostly at his invitation. Just the other night, he showed up to dinner and asked to be seated at our table with six other guests. What a treat! He is a genial host and great company.

Now, back to our journey to Hong Kong.

During the night, the waves were incredibly rough, but by the next morning, the sea had calmed down a lot. Unfortunately, due to the winds and the rolling sea, we were three hours late in arriving to Hong Kong. We sailed into the Kai Tak Cruise Terminal, which opened in 2013 on the site of the old Hong Kong airport runway. It is across the bay from Hong Kong, and it is huge! It is also a 20-minute shuttle bus ride into the city. The shuttle drop-off point isn’t as convenient as one would wish, but you play the hand you are dealt.

By the time the ship was cleared by the local authorities and we were free to go ashore,

it was time for us to go on our nighttime, open-top bus city tour. We had never done this before, and the weather was just right. An earphone system was part of the tour, and all of the sites were described as we went by. The bus moved at a pretty fast pace, so not all of the pictures turned out as clearly as desired, but it was fun.

A part of this excursion also included a long stroll through the “night market” in the center of the city. It is a souvenir shopper’s paradise. A long, four-block stretch of a street is closed to traffic, and booths are set up to sell treasures and junk of all sorts. The booths resembled a church picnic on wheels.

The next morning, we embarked on a hotly-anticipated mission. It was a trip back to the Jade Market, a place where our friend Mae has a booth. The shuttle bus dropped us off across from the Shangri La hotel. We hailed a cab and 37 Hong Kong dollars ($4.50 U.S.) later, we were on Mae’s doorstep at the Jade Market, which is actually sort of a permanent tent under an overpass and it offers a lot more than jade. The tiny booths also offer tagua nuts, which are called vegetable ivory and are about the size of large walnuts. They grow in Africa and South America. Clever artisans carve them into tiny animals and other figures, and they are great to collect and to take to friends as souvenirs.

Well, it was Sunday morning and we were disappointed to find that our friend Mae must have gone to church since her booth was closed. We had taken some strings of pearls that were purchased at Komodo Island to have one of her friends restring them, but that will have to wait.

We had also taken a bottle of champagne from the ship to give to her as a gift since we know she likes it. We slipped it under the canvas cover of her booth and could only hope it would be there when she returned the next day. We satisfied our need for retail therapy at another booth that was open, and it even had some extra special tagua nut carvings. Then it was back across the bay to our floating home.

We sailed the South China Sea to our next port-of-call, Ha Long Bay, the port for Hanoi, Vietnam. It is a busy but shallow port, so we docked at sea and tendered in for tours. We spent two days there. Many people focused on the monoliths poking up from the sea, taking tours on the native fishing boats. We have seen these mammoth limestone monsters on previous visits and thought a simple shuttle bus ride into Ha Long town might prove interesting.

Da Nang includes a typical downtown area, the famous China Beach and Marble Mountain filled with grottoes, caves and pagodas.

On the way, we passed by the Sun Wheel Ferris Wheel that overlooks the bay and is beautifully lit at night. Our shuttle bus stop was at a department store that offers many modern items that we already have at home. However, the whole area surrounding the modernity features a traditional Vietnamese market that we love.

It has lots of little booths with fish, meats and vegetables and lots of locals milling about. There are also fast food booths that cook to order some amazing Vietnamese foods that I can’t even begin to describe. Everywhere, vendors and customers were carrying trays with delightful smelling foods.

Back at the ship, we had an early dinner and went to see the old Robin Williams movie “Good Morning, Vietnam” in the theater.

The next day, we docked at Da Nang, Vietnam just after breakfast. This port city presented interesting shore excursion choices. Da Nang includes a typical downtown area, the famous China Beach and Marble Mountain filled with grottoes, caves and pagodas.

Then, there was Hue 90 minutes from the pier.

We chose a visit to Hoi An, which dates back to the 15th century as an important trading port located on the Thu Bon River.

The Hoi An Central Village is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and has no auto traffic, just lots of motorbikes flying around.

Admission to attractions in the Central Village is purchased via a coupon system and includes an ancient house, a Japanese covered bridge and a temple.

Under a hot, clear and sunny sky, our guide led us around by foot to all the major highlights. We were free for 90 minutes to wander on our own and collect souvenirs that we had not seen other places.

Then, we were back on the coach and off for a short ride to a fantastic buffet lunch. Most of the food was typical Vietnamese cooking, and the spicy noodle soup was the biggest hit.

Next was a photo stop at China Beach at the end of the day – a real treat before cocktails and a sail away towards Nha Trang, Vietnam. VT

The Power of Style: Jewels, Art and Real Estate

By Janice Carter Levitch

t’s challenging to recall the exact moment when I first became aware of Verdura and his unique jewelry designs that are provocative in style. I would like to say it was an innate sense of quality and art that first drew me in. Once I began researching the history, well, then it became a full on infatuation. However, I can’t think of a grander object or idea to be hopelessly infatuated with.

In September 1937, Harper’s Bazaar raved about the radical new style: “Not a stone, not a setting, not a color match. So the effect is that of gypsies’ tinsels, wild, profligate, unrestrained. No color combination is too fantastic. There is a group of smart women in Paris who are encrusted like Byzantine saints.”

Scott Rogers, curator of the Mona Bismarck exhibit currently showing at the Frazier History Museum, invited me to the lecture recently presented by Ward Landrigan, chairman of Verdura Fine Jewelry. What a lecture it was!

Landrigan eloquently discussed the history of Verdura, which was established in 1939. He mixed in a chuckle or two as he mentioned the conclave of great names that make up the client list of Verdura

and its sister company, Belperron.

Celebrities and socialites such as Elizabeth Taylor and Princess Diana were both on that list.

Landrigan (whom I have nicknamed Lord Landrigan, befitting his humble presence and regal stance) had this to say about his rise within the fine jewelry world: “Through osmosis, I became knowledgeable. It was fortuitous. This wasn’t my game plan after completing graduate school in London at the Courtauld Institute in fine arts. I was going to teach, but I needed a job and was hired at Parke Bernet auction house as a clerk to sit next to the auctioneer and type out all the details of each sale as it happened. Then, all of the sudden, I had this fantastic job when Sotheby’s of London bought the auction house. I fit right in because of my education in London.

“My first auction was a collection of jewelry that came from a woman in Versailles, Kentucky,” he continued. “She had married a wealthy Turk. My first estate auction was in 1965 for Helena Rubinstein. She was more interested in size, not so much about quality.”

I was curious if Landrigan agreed with the fashion rule that a woman should have five significant pieces of jewelry in her collection, so I asked for his thoughts on this attitude. “Yes, the five essential pieces 0 4 . 2 6 . 2 0 1 8 V O I C E -T R I B U N E . C O M

are important and the order of importance is this: earclips, rings, bracelets – and I consider a watch a bracelet, too – necklaces, brooches,” he said.

I particularly enjoyed the private showing that followed the lecture. “The earrings are the single most important piece,” Landrigan affirmed. “It reinforces a woman’s eyes and facial features.” It was an extraordinary experience to have the opportunity to try on a pair of earclips (formerly known as earrings) that were perfectly selected according to my eyes, face shape and coloring. I’ve told the jewelry fairy (kind of like the tooth fairy, but I’m really hoping leaving teeth under my pillow isn’t a requirement) to leave those exquisite earclips under my pillow while I’m dreaming of wearing them to a fancy garden party someday soon.

Landrigan began his career with Sotheby’s of London, so it was only fitting that my next stop was the preview party for glassmaker artist Stephen Rolfe Powell held at a Lenihan Sotheby’s Internation Realty property. The gathering was hosted by Terri Bass of Lenihan, who is good friends with Powell. Terri and her husband Steve own several pieces of Powell’s work. “We have appreciated Stephen’s work for many years. He helped us with the display and lighting of an amazing piece for our new home. It appears to float. Stephen and his work are joyful,” Terri said.

ABOVE: Terri Bass and artist Stephen Rolfe Powell. BELOW: Glass art by Stephen Rolfe Powell.

Powell is a refined glassmaker, and I had the chance to meet him while getting a tour of some of the pieces on display. Each piece is a montage of color, form and balance. They mentally transported me to a Moroccan village that echos evocative textiles and zellige tile design. Some of his work also retains the familiar millefiori mosaic look of ancient Roman bowls and countless Venetian objects. Powell’s work is harmonious and adventurous to say the least.

We concluded the evening with champagne, and the sunset caught my eye as it streamed through the rainbow of colors encased within the glass art. It was simply magical. Art has the power of style and the ability to transport us to places we can sometimes only dream of. While dreaming, we can always wait for that jewelry fairy to leave us a little something under our pillow. VT 47

HOSPARUS HEALTH UNVEILS $1.3 MILLION EXPANSION OF INPATIENT CARE CENTER

Hosparus Health recently unveiled the results of a $1.3 million expansion at its Hosparus Inpatient Care Center (HICC), a specialized hospice unit that serves terminally ill patients and their families, often in the last weeks or days of life. The renovations added a third wing to the unit, located on the sixth floor of Norton Healthcare Pavilion, 315 E. Broadway, and increased square footage to 18,390 from 13,582. The expansion is part of Hosparus Health’s continued overall growth to meet the growing needs for 24-hour, compassionate care of seriously ill patients and families in Kentucky and Indiana.

The renovations focused on expanding and reconfiguring space for the enhanced comfort and privacy of patients and families. Additions include new patient rooms, bringing total capacity to 27 beds, up from 25; a family lounge with kitchenette; two private consultation rooms to allow doctors to meet with families near their loved ones; and additional space designed for enhanced outpatient hospice and palliative care services.

New classroom and event space allows Hosparus Health to offer hospice and palliative care education to its own staff, nursing and other healthcare students and the community. A new meditation room gives families of all religions or spiritual traditions a place to seek comfort or hold memorial services for their loved ones. Existing waiting areas were enhanced to allow families to gather in privacy and comfort, and the unit’s nurses’ station was reconfigured to enable better customer service, more privacy and increased workflow efficiencies.

A Louisville-based nonprofit organization, Hosparus Health funded the expansion through private donations from estates, corporations, organizations and individuals. The new wing is named for Al & Pat Fiorini, who contributed $100,000. Other major gifts came from the James Graham Brown Foundation, the Gheens Foundation, the Grainger Foundation, the Etscorn Foundation, The Midland Trail Golf Family and the River Cities Corvette Club.

Hosparus Health cares for over 1,200 seriously ill patients a day, wherever they call home in its 37-county service area in Kentucky and Southern Indiana. The HICC provides short-term, inpatient hospice care to address symptoms associated with terminal illnesses that cannot be managed in other settings, or require special treatments such as frequent medication adjustments or monitoring of open wounds.

NORTON COMMONS ANNOUNCES PLANS FOR NORTH VILLAGE AMENITIES

Norton Commons, the growing new urbanist development in Prospect recently announced plans to construct unique new amenities in the community’s North Village.

Developers released preliminary drawings for “The Grove,” a 2.5-acre ridgetop recreational area, complete with a zero-entry, lagoon-style pool and splash park, playground, walking trails and a lush sunset viewing green.

Developers plan to break ground on the Grove in fall 2018 with an estimated completion date before the 2019 pool season. The Grove will also include significant woodland and watershed protection areas.

In addition, Norton Commons unveiled renderings for an almost football field-sized civic space dubbed “Peppermint Green,” to be situated between Passionflower Drive and Saint Bernadette Avenue, just north of Emerald Park. The extensive green will be surrounded by a walking path and encircled by large, native species trees. The design is a nod to Old Louisville, complete with a walk punctuated with spaces for benches and urns filled with flowers. The southern edge will be abutted by a covered breezeway replete with columns in the classical vernacular style.

In keeping with Norton Commons’ record of adding more than 2,700 native trees to the environment to date, the community will be adding approximately 100 new trees between the two new amenity areas.

“Norton Commons is thrilled to continue to engage in one-of-a-kind placemaking,” said Managing Director Charles Osborn III. “We’re all about walkable, mixed-usage, with an eye

toward the future but never forgetting Louisville’s unique roots and history.”

The new amenities will be unveiled to the public during the “Welcome Home Tour & Design Show” to be held May 25 to June 9, 2019. The home show will include a dozen unique geothermal houses furnished in luxurious styles.

The Grove and Peppermint Green will be part of nearly 160 acres of planned green and civic spaces across the North and South Villages, and which already include miles of nature trails, a rose garden, a lakefront amphitheater, three dog parks, a community vegetable garden, wildflower meadow and two pool facilities.

Norton Commons broke ground on its new North Village in 2015 and recently completed

THE KENTUCKY CENTER FOUNDATION PURCHASES BROWN THEATRE FROM FUND FOR THE ARTS The Kentucky Center is thrilled to announce its Foundation’s purchase of the historic Brown Theatre from the Fund for the Arts. Although the Fund for the Arts has owned the building since 1997, The Kentucky Center has managed the operations and programming for the last 21 years. The new acquisition will enhance The Kentucky Center’s portfolio of programming offerings, in addition to increased community engagement activities and events. The acquisition also resolves a seating capacity gap within the Center’s growing family of venues, offering up a new option for shows that require a mid-level venue with more than 1,400 seats.

The Brown Theatre is an integral piece of The Kentucky Center’s strategic vision for growth, which also includes the development of the new Paristown venue, expected to open in 2019.

its 200th home in that section. When completed, Norton Commons’ North Village will stand at over 1,500 residences, and will be one of the largest residential all-geothermal communities in the nation.

Geothermal technology takes advantage of moderate ground temperatures to create an efficient system that lowers monthly utility bills while emitting less carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide and other greenhouse gases into the atmosphere. Geothermal heating and cooling eliminates the need for outdoor air conditioning units and reduces noise, while allowing for more space for residents to enjoy the outdoors. A network of underground geothermal loops and efficiently-sized heat pump units inside each home provide homeowners with the most comfortable heating and cooling systems available on the market today. to continue to utilize the venue for its original intended purpose – to provide a variety of live stage performances and shows to continue to enrich the robust and ever-evolving arts scene in Louisville.

“The acquisition of the iconic and beloved Brown Theatre enhances our growing ‘campus of venues’ across the community,” said Kim Baker, president and CEO of The Kentucky Center.

“The Kentucky Center is honored to carry on the rich tradition of this classic venue, as it has long served as a hub for performing arts in Louisville.”

The Brown Theatre is currently home to Kentucky Opera and provides live performances that range from rock concerts to classic ballet performances, community arts education programs and more. The Kentucky Center anticipates no changes to the current lineup of shows and plans

“Fund for the Arts is excited for this new chapter of the historic Brown Theatre where the community will continue to experience world-class, inspiring performances,” said Christen Boone, Fund for the Arts president & CEO. The Brown Theatre originally opened in 1925.

During the Great Depression the venue served as a movie theatre after live act bookings could no longer afford to perform during those challenging economic times. In 1962, live performances returned to the Brown’s stage, offering performances in every imaginable genre, including musical performances, dance, theater and more.

After a series of ownership changes in the 1970s and 1980s, the Theatre was donated to the Fund for the Arts in 1997, with The Kentucky Center contracted to operate and program the venue.

BAYENS, MARK JOSEPH Mark Joseph Bayens, 62, of Louisville, died peacefully at his home Sunday, April 1, one month to the day after being diagnosed with pancreatic cancer.

Born February 28, 1956, Mark was the oldest of six children and the only male. Mischievous and full of life, he was a boy in every sense of the word.

On June 28, 1975, he married the love of his life, Linda Marie Kunz, with whom he had three children.

Mark grew up in St. Martha Parish, graduated from Trinity High School and attended the University of Louisville. An IBEW Local 369 journeyman electrician, E & I designer and supervisor, he was also the co-owner of Cooking at the Cottage, a retail store and cooking school, where he was a familiar figure on date nights. He loved preparing and eating good food, fishing, art, travel and NASCAR. Music was part of his soul, and for a time, he played guitar and sang in the rock band Disoriented Pedestrians.

At six-feet-four inches, he was a gentle giant, and was once described as a geode with a beautiful center beneath a hard exterior. Many things made Mark special – his love and pride of family, his knack of never meeting a stranger, his raucous laugh, his childlike sense of fun (he staged elaborate haunted houses at Halloween complete with intricate costumes) and his oftenwarped sense of humor. (He would have appreciated leaving on April Fool’s Day.) He was preceded in death by his infant son, Mark J. Bayens Jr., his father, Paul R. Bayens, and his beloved golden retriever, Holley – the best present he ever received. He is survived by his mother, Betty Jean Elder Bayens; wife, Linda Kunz Bay-

ens; daughter, Christina Bayens Faust; son, Craig R. Bayens; and son-in-law, Jeffrey C. Faust, all of Louisville. He is also survived by sisters, Paula Cates (Riley) of Mt. Pleasant, South Carolina, Sally Barman (Ken), Jenny Warren (Bill), Martha Clark (Greg), Beth Tetley (Dan) of Henryville, Indiana; brothers-in-law, Fred J. Kunz III (Sandy), John B. Kunz (Tina), James R. Kunz (Michelle) of LaGrange, Kentucky, all of the Louisville area; 10 nieces and nephews and 11 great nieces and nephews.

“What a long strange trip it’s been,” Mark often said, quoting the Grateful Dead, and in that spirit, on April 29, beginning at noon, the Bayenses will open their home for “Markapaloosa,” a joyful celebration of his life. In lieu of flowers, the family encourages contributions to Trust for Life for Organ Donor Awareness, Apron Inc. and the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation.

BROWN, MILDRED LEE Mildred Lee Brown, 94, of Mt. Washington, returned to the Lord on Friday, April 20, 2018.

Mildred and her husband, Amos, owned the Brown’s IGA Food Mart, and sponsored many girls and boys sports teams while serving the community. She was a member of First Baptist Church of Mt. Washington, where she served as a Sunday school teacher for toddlers to teenagers for many years and served as the church librarian for ten years as well as on numerous committees.

She was preceded in death by her husband, Amos Brown, and her son, David Gilmore Brown.

Mildred is survived by her sister, Dorothy Dean Porter; her niece and nephew, Bonnie Roof and Murrell Porter (Judy); as well as a host of great nieces, great nephews and cousins.

GOODFLEISCH, ROBERT BRUCE Robert Bruce Goodfleisch, 78, known to friends as “Bob,” passed away on April 11, 2018 following a courageous battle against cancer. He was residing in Niceville, Florida at the time of his death.

Born in Erie, Pennsylvania to Wilbur and Doris Goodfleisch, he grew up in Louisville, Kentucky. Bob graduated from Eastern High School and attended Western Kentucky University before leaving for service in the United States Army. After completing his military service with an honorable discharge, he began working for RCA, and then later General Electric, as an appliance serviceman. Bob retired from General Electric and moved to Niceville, Florida to pursue his passion for the sea. He earned his captain’s boating license (“Captain Bobby G”) and operated charter and private fishing boats.

Bob was an avid outdoorsman who loved both hunting and fishing. He enjoyed competitive pursuits including fishing tournaments throughout Florida and the Caribbean and race car driving. He was a Master Mason, member of AMVETS and a US Army veteran.

EVERY STUDENT HAS A STORY...

At KCD, our college counselors get to know every student’s story: where they’ve been and where they hope to go.

Through individualized guidance and support, our counselors help students find the college that’s right for them.

SHANZEH, BROWN UNIVERSITY Shanzeh is a member of Science Olympiad, the Math Team, Governor’s Cup, and KCD’s KUNA delegation.

Since freshman year, she’s been doing research on cataracts for the Kentucky Lions Eye Center. She plans to study biology next year.

“I really appreciate all the teachers who have supported me. It was through my teachers and Science Olympiad that I discovered my passion for biology. My teachers at KCD really care about how I’m doing—even outside of class. Every senior has at least one teacher that they’ve gotten to know really well.”

GIANNI, WABASH COLLEGE

KYLE, UNIVERSITY OF KENTUCKY Kyle runs a business where he buys broken dirt bikes and jet skis, repairs them, and re-sells them. He’s even used the KCD FabLab to 3D print specialized tools he’s needed. He’s on the KCD track team and also races dirt bikes. He plans to study mechanical engineering.

“My college counselor helped me a lot. If I had a question about anything, I could always ask. I’ve really enjoyed my math and science classes at KCD, especially Engineering Lab, where I designed and built an RC rock crawler. The teachers make the classes challenging and really push you to learn.”

JULIA, VASSAR COLLEGE

Gianni plays football, runs track, plays in the KCD Orchestra, and is a member of FCA and the Black Student Union. He will play football next year at Wabash.

“My college counselor pushed me to find a school that fit me best—not just for football, but also for academics. KCD is a blessing. In good times and bad, everyone gives you so much support. I might have thought in the past that I didn’t want a school this small, but now I realize how much I love it. Everyone here does more for us as students than we could ever have imagined.”

Julia is the president of GSA and has been active in the KCD drama program. She’s currently the stage manager for the student-run production of the Monty Python musical Spamalot.

“My college counselors have been really helpful. They’ve always been available to answer all my questions about applications and scholarships. I really love being in the Honors Program at KCD. I feel like I’ve learned a lot, and the experience of writing a major thesis paper in high school will definitely help me in college.”
