FROM THE

A MUCH LATER CUTOFF TIME TO FIT YOUR BUSY LIFE. • DEPOSIT FUNDS AT THE ITM • • USE YOUR APP FOR MOBILE DEPOSIT † •

Watching the evolution of the future site of the Waterfront Botanical Gardens has been breathtaking already, especially for those of us who recall the space being utilized as a landfill. Now, plans for the 23-acre area are in place but there is much work to be done and many hands needed to do it. Interested in volunteering or donating? You can find out how to contribute to what will surely be one of Louisville’s gems in this week’s cover story, which was written by Graham Pilotte and photographed by Kathryn Harrington.

The Voice-Tribune is incredibly fortunate this summer to have a quartet of talented interns. Forget coffee runs and picking up dry cleaning (a la “The Devil Wears Prada”) – Emilie Haupt, Abigail Hillerich, Hayden Mitzlaff and Baylee Pendleton are welcome additions to the team and will contribute in myriad valuable ways, though most have already. We’re excited to have these bright individuals on board and look forward to them representing us in the community.

Do you have a father – or father figure – you’d like to publicly acknowledge? Is there a daddy in your life who deserves kudos? Send a photograph and email to angie@ voice-tribune.com explaining why said papa makes you proud (even if he’s not yours), and I’ll help you highlight him in an upcoming issue of The Voice-Tribune.

uring the month of May in the weeks following the Kentucky Derby, The Voice-Tribune switches gears from horses to houses by selecting five properties valued at $1,000,000 plus that are currently on the market from the top real estate agents in the greater Louisville area.

Last week, we showcased an immaculate home in the Elmcroft Neighborhood and a gorgeous Prospect estate from local home builder Penny Love. We continue this week with two can’t-miss estates: the last home of icon Muhammad Ali and a classically elegant yet modern home that truly has it all. Next week, in our May 31 issue, we’ll show you an exclusively featured home with a stunning view of Cherokee Park. The Voice will also host its annual Prestigious Properties event in the home featured in the May 31 issue, which is an upscale, invitation-only cocktail party for real estate, building and design professionals to view the property and network with other professionals in the industry.

f you’re looking for a home that has it all, look no further. Built in 2014 but with the classic elegance of a historic home, this Prospect property has all of the modern amenities while maintaining an element of country estate charm. The inside is open with vaulted ceilings, detailed millwork, arched doorways, beamed ceilings and hand-scraped hardwood floors. The house also features five hearths that were designed and created by the owners and a master carpenter, making each a

The kitchen, family room and outdoor room are built to entertain. No expense was spared, offering an abundance of custom cabinetry, Thermador appliances, double islands and marble countertops. Even the light fixtures were hand-selected to perfectly compliment the simplistic yet elegant decor, leaving plenty of room for integration of the new owners’ unique tastes. The butler’s

pantry is a separate room from the expansive cooking space that would put most kitchens to shame.

You’ll never tire of the views from this classic home, sitting on just over two private and partially wooded acres. The soothing colors throughout continue into the first floor master suite, making it a beautiful retreat after a long day. The master also includes spacious his and her closets suitable for any size wardrobe. All bedrooms and baths upstairs are ensuite with outstanding finishes as well – from clawfoot bathtubs to crystal chandeliers.

Family time or entertaining guests around the tranquil, saltwater pool is effortless, as there is a handsome bar and wine cellar just inside the walkout lower level. On cold nights, you can enjoy the fireplace and home theater on the lower level.

If you have discerning taste and have been searching for the perfect place to call home, this is surely a home you won’t want to overlook.

The home of “The Greatest of All Time” is situated on nearly two acres of lushly landscaped grounds. This distinctive residence has been beautifully enriched by renowned designer Andrew Hirschman of McNamara and Hirschman in Scottsdale, Arizona.

Blooming and Thriving Orchid House brings autism services to West Louisville Story by Mariah Kline Photo by Kathryn Harrington

Kaitlin Blessitt, founder of Orchid House.

ORCHID HOUSE THERAPEUTIC DAY CENTER FOR KIDS Friend-Raiser 6 to 10 p.m. June 29 Odeon, 1335 Story Ave. orchidhouse.org 502.744.9111

A

number of excellent organizations that serve students with autism call Louisville home, and our city is incredibly fortunate to have these institutions in place. However, West Louisville has far fewer resources to meet the needs of these children than other parts of the city. One nonprofit is addressing this need and preparing to open a daycare center that could have an overwhelming impact on young lives.

Executive Director Kaitlin Blessitt founded Orchid House Therapeutic Day Center for Kids in 2017. She graduated from University of Louisville’s School of Nursing in 2008 and finished her master’s in nurse administration from Ball State University in December 2017. Prior to founding the center, she worked for The Kidz Club, a pediatric daycare for medically fragile children. She served as the director of the organization’s Portland neighborhood location and eventually became a regional director – overseeing five medical daycares in Kentucky, three of which she helped open.

In her experience in pediatric daycare, Blessitt found that children with autism were often receiving assistance from Medicaid but weren’t having their specific needs met.

According to her, these students often need adapted classrooms, lower student-to-teacher ratios and even adjusted lights and sounds in order to thrive.

Orchid House is a pediatric prescribed extended care (PPEC) program that will specifically focus on behavior and emotional sensory processing disorders and the autism spectrum. Their adapted classrooms will have no more than six students at a three-to-one ratio, and they will have a more traditional classroom designed for up to 12 students.

“The idea is that if children start in adapted classrooms, we are kind of weaning them up to the traditional classroom so that they are kindergarten ready,” explains Blessitt. “Kids are getting diagnosed as early as 12 months old and two years old now, so then what do they do? If they don’t have interventions to work with their diagnosis, then they are really behind by the time they get to kindergarten.”

Orchid House already has 15 children on their waitlist and their space will be able to accommodate up to 30. In addition to meeting educational needs, they will also have skilled nursing care since a number of their children have overlapping seizure issues, gastrointestinal issues and other medical needs.

With the plan they’ve developed, Orchid House will have the ability to aid children who have been turned away or dismissed from

It’s really about equitable access (and providing) high quality services. Socioeconomic barriers shouldn’t prevent children from getting what they need.

— Kaitlin Blessitt, founder

other traditional childcare settings.

“What we’re doing is kind of taking the place of daycare,” Blessitt says. “These parents cannot work or they’re leaving their kids at home with a caregiver who may be unqualified. They’re also not getting that social benefit and early interactions that they need.”

While Blessitt says she’s been astounded by the lack of resources available to children with autism in West Louisville, she’s also been overwhelmed by the dedication of the parents she has met.

“A lot of these parents are really young and they have to step up to these challenges,” she reveals. “They have to adapt to become this organized supermom or superdad. A lot of our parents are single moms, and I’m just really impressed by the amount of work that they have to do to advocate for their child because their child doesn’t have a voice.”

Currently, Orchid House is close to signing a lease on a building in the Parkland neighborhood, and Blessitt anticipates opening their doors in October 2018. Most of their students are on Medicaid or Passport, so these entities will pay for services provided. However, since the center will begin their operations on a provisional license, the organization may not be reimbursed for up to six months.

In order to properly develop their space and open their doors to the community’s children, Orchid House is paying for their programming through grants, lines of credit and donations. Blessitt and her board of directors are holding a “Friend-Raiser” at Odeon in Butchertown on the evening of June 29. The night will include live music, food and auction items. Most importantly, guests will have the opportunity to learn more about the amazing work Orchid House will be doing for children who desperately need expert care.

“The kids in West Louisville, they don’t have access to those services,” she affirms.

“So it’s really about equitable access (and providing) high quality services. Socioeconomic barriers shouldn’t prevent children from getting what they need.” VT 0 5 . 2 4 . 2 0 1 8 V O I C E -T R I B U N E . C O M

The new offerings brought the total number of shops to 94, adding to the wealth of exclusive retailers within the center.

“The Outlet Shoppes of the Bluegrass has become the destination for fashion-minded shop-

Book Warehouse provides engaging options for readers of every age and interest. And PUMA builds on our impressive array of athleisure and athletic options for families.”

Book Warehouse offers a broad range of books for all tastes, interests and ages, with everything from cookbooks to children’s books, romance, science, history and more. The 3,402-square-foot store is located next door to the new PUMA location, adjacent to American Eagle.

PUMA is one of the world’s leading sport lifestyle companies developing fashionable footwear, apparel and accessories. The 3,960-square-foot store offers the brand’s sports performance and lifestyle labels with products in categories such as football, running, motorsports, golf and sailing. Its family of brands include PUMA, Cobra Golf and Tretorn.

These two new stores – open for Memorial Day weekend – build on The Outlet Shoppes’ commitment to providing shoppers with a one-of-a-kind experience. In the last year, Tory Burch, True Religion, Le Creuset, Calvin Klein and Bath & Body Works have all opened their doors.

An uncommon venue, an extraordinary collection and an organic inspiration

1. AC Hotel NULU, 725 E. Market St., is exhibiting art pieces from Kate Mattingly, Ewa Perz along with a permanent installation done by Steve Heine through Nov. 1. Kate Mattingly presented the sculptural artwork that is located near the elevators on the first floor of the hotel. Ewa Perz riddled eight paintings throughout the first and second floors of the building, and Steve Heine crafted the artwork composed of four lighted panels that resides in the corridor.

2. Joey Yates’ show of artist-made records and record covers, “Spin: Turning Records into Art,” is being displayed at the KMAC Museum, 715 W. Main St., until Aug. 5. This is accompanied by recent projects from contemporary artists who make use of the record in their sculptures and installations, including Rutherford Chang, Ajit Chauhan, Jamal Cyrus, David Ellis, Terrence Hammonds, Jennie C. Jones and Cynthia Norton. A substantial portion of the show features records from the collection of Michael Lowe, a Cincinnati-based art collector, with over 2,000 records that are international in scope and reflect the myriad historical relationships between the artist and the record.

3. “Botanicals,” the 13-piece installation by American photographer Laurie Tennent, is being presented at Yew Dell Botanical Gardens through Oct. 14. This series was created from a passion for beauty and a longing for a more meditative presence. Tennent works with botanists in the garden and discovers specimens in nature before capturing their portraits. She creates the images in her Birmingham studio and prints them on durable aluminum with a technique that fuses the pigments into the metal panels. These panels can be installed indoors and outdoors, often planted right back into the garden.

SPOTLIGHT

Fest T of Ale

he highly-anticipated Fest-of-Ale will once again benefit the Crusade for Children. We spoke with Todd Antz about what’s on tap (get it?) for this year’s sudsy celebration.

HOW HAS FEST OF ALE EVOLVED IN THE LAST 13 YEARS?

The 13th annual event from Keg Liquors will take over the New Albany Riverfront Amphitheater June 2.

Photos by Tony Benett

We have over 250 different beers and ciders for sampling, as well as over 30 different wines too.

— Todd Antz 26

In 2005, The Keg Liquors Fest of Ale started out as a very small event that we held in the parking lot of the Clarksville location of the original Keg Liquors. I saw that there was a definite need to promote craft beer and educate consumers in the Louisville area at the time.

As I love to throw a great party, this seemed like the perfect thing to do. With a shoe string budget and a lot of phone calls to local and regional breweries, plus the help of my distributors, we hosted the first Fest of Ale. I believe we had 10 to 15 breweries represented, 30 to 40 beers available and around 100 attendees.

Once the first fest was finished, I did the math and discovered that we took a loss. We wrote a check to our charity for $500, which increased our losses. I really wondered why I thought this was a good idea. It took a lot of praise from the attendees and breweries to realize that maybe we were on to something, and we decided to do it again. At the time, “beer festivals” were rarely in existence in the area. Over the years, we’ve grown considerably. We’ve changed locations and now hold the event at the New Albany Amphitheater. We’ve added wines, meads and ciders to the lineup and brought in food trucks, live music and much more.

HOW DOES IT HELP THE CRUSADE FOR CHILDREN? Since the first year of The Keg Liquors Fest of Ale, I made the decision that this was not going to be a for-profit venture. My father was a firefighter and the WHAS Crusade for Children was a charity that has always been a part of my life and upbringing. We have always paid our bills for the event, then donated every dime after that to the WHAS Crusade for Children. We raise money through ticket sales and an on-site silent auction, where attendees can bid on beer related items like shirts, hats, signs and other products donated by our various distributors.

We also have New Albany firefighters collecting donations throughout the event, too. One new and fun element we’ve added this year is a dunking booth, where for a donation you’ll get a chance to throw a baseball at a target and drop firefighters and some brave volunteers into a giant tank of water. After that initial $500, we’ve grown our donations each year. Last year ,we donated $16,000 to the Crusade for Children.

ARE DESIGNATED DRIVERS AVAILABLE AND HOW DOES THAT WORK? With an event like this, responsibility is a key component. To help encourage the safety of festival guests, designated drivers are allowed into the event for free. This has been the case since the very first fest. Designated drivers obviously do not get to drink, but there is enough going on at the event to keep them entertained. Also new for this year, arc Construction Management is bringing 1,000 water bottles to the festival 0 5 . 2 4 . 2 0 1 8 V O I C E -T R I B U N E . C O M

SPONSORS WE SHOULD THANK? We could not host an event of this size without help from our sponsors. The first few years of the event, Keg Liquors was the sole sponsor and handled the financial burden of keeping the event going. As we grew, we started getting approached by other companies in the community that wanted to give us a hand. This year, we would like to thank our ticket pre-sale host, The Exchange Pub + kitchen, as well as our official Fest of Ale After-Party host, Gospel Bird. Our community sponsors include: Logan Lavelle Hunt and arc Construction Management; our music sponsor, North Coast Brewing Company, our featured breweries and mead/ cider producers, Sun King Brewery, Firestone Walker Brewing Company, Alltech Brewing & Distilling Company and New Day Craft Mead & Cider. Our distributors are a huge part of the event as well. These include Monarch Beverage/World Class Beverages, LC Nadorff and Son, Cavalier Distributing, North Vernon Beverage, Craftroads Beverage, Rhoades Beverage, Starlight Distributing, Southern Glazer Wine & Spirits and Carroll Wine and Spirits.

How many glasses/cups are required?

Just one! Each attendee will receive a Keg Liquors Fest of Ale sampling glass when they enter the event.

We have plenty of rinsing stations throughout the venue to keep that glass clean and ready for the next sample.

How many people attend?

Last year we had over 2,200 people at the event and we estimate around 2,500 this year. We purposely keep our numbers low to make for a better experience for the attendees. This keeps lines shorter and allows for more time with the people pouring.

How much is raised annually?

Last year we donated $16,000 to the WHAS Crusade for Children.

How much has been raised in total?

We have raised over $100,000 over the life of the event and should get our total over $125,000 this year.

From an initial $500 donation and being a local family owned independent liquor store, we are very proud of how much we’ve been able to donate to such a worthy cause.

A LANDSCAPE OF

Louisville’s Waterfront Botanical Gardens to transform trash into treasure Story by Graham Pilotte Photos by Kathryn Harrington

I

t takes imagination, courage and creativity to create a place of beauty in a spot that has been abused and abandoned, but that is the mission of Louisville’s new Waterfront Botanical Gardens. Twenty-three acres, nestled downtown by the river, are being transformed from a former landfill into a space that combines nature and art. For the land by the waterfront, it’s a beautiful type of second chance.

“We’re re-greening a landfill, which has its own challenges,” explains Kasey Maier, executive director of the project. “But I’m amazed at the growth and change we’ve seen throughout the years.”

The new botanical gardens have a long history. “Originally, our site was a residential neighborhood,” Maier explains, pointing out the famous facade at Frankfort Avenue and River Road. However, the floods in the 1930s and 1940s damaged the neighborhood beyond repair. “The city decided to turn it 0 5 . 2 4 . 2 0 1 8 V O I C E -T R I B U N E . C O M

Plants are part of Mother Earth, and if we don’t take care of that organ, we won’t be here.

into a landfill,” Maier says. “But this house and the facade was still standing. The mayor at the time saved it.” The facade has become a symbol of strength and revitalization for the city. “Ten or 12 years ago, they moved it to its current location to serve as the icon for the future gardens,” Maier says.

The development of the gardens finally took off around 2013, and all the plans are now in place. “You’ll be coming into a beautiful botanical space. We’ll have three buildings: an education center, a visitors’ center and a conservatory,” Maier asserts.

Small classroom buildings, various gardens and a greenhouse will also be featured on the property, as will two-and-a-half miles of trails and meadows for visitors to enjoy.

“Our main mission is environmental education,” Maier says. “You can go to a park, but this is more structured, planned and deliberate, with educators right there. We want to use our native plants, but also bring in non-native plants – not everyone gets to travel, and we want them to be accessible.” Maier knows the importance of raising awareness, too: “Plants are part of Mother Earth, and if we don’t take care of that organ, we won’t be here,” she says.

Additionally, the gardens will be a beautiful venue. “When you start layering in music and visual arts and performing arts, it becomes an experience you can’t replicate,” Maier says. As part of this collaborative mission, Maier and her team are hosting a June fundraiser called Prelude, where they’ll be joined by various artists from around Louisville.

One featured performance joins professional Louisville Ballet dancers with internationally-acclaimed cellist Ben Sollee. Louisville Ballet dancer Leigh Anne Albrechta will be one of the performers that evening. “We’re the opening entertainment for the night,” Albrechta explains. “The performance will be about 10 minutes, and Ben has created brand-new music for our choreographer.”

This year will mark Albrechta’s fourth summer collaboration to raise awareness for the Waterfront Botanical Gardens.

“We’ve done it in grass, barefoot. Sometimes we’ve done it raised on a real stage. And this year we’ll actually be on the facade, dancing,” she says. “Choreographically, it will be really nice to use the levels and have both the facade and nature as a backdrop.” She’s happy to have been involved for so long. “We really believe in what Kasey is doing, and we really wanted to support her and bring awareness from the ballet WATERFRONT BOTANICAL GARDENS world,” Albrechta says.

THE PRELUDE: URBAN GARDEN PARTY Cellist Ben Sollee is also passionate 6 to 9 p.m. June 10 about the collaboration. “I’ve been a longHeigold Facade, Frankfort Avenue time collaborator with the ballet – writing pieces here and there – and I have a lot of good and River Road friends who dance with the company,” he says. waterfrontgardens.org “Until we have the gardens built, the best thing we 502.276.5404 can do is present the arts and programming that we hope to see there.”

This year we’ll actually be on the facade, dancing.

I love the story of this place. I love the idea of building this amazing, intentional, curated garden on top of an old landfill.

— Ben Sollee

Like Albrechta, Sollee has been involved in the project for years. “I was lucky enough to get involved in the very first year of fundraising,” he says. “I’m excited about it. When I travel around the country or to major cities all over the world, they almost always have a botanical garden.

Louisville has some wonderful gardens and lots of amazing private gardens, but not everyone can access them. This will be a botanical garden featuring the plants and flora of Kentucky in a pristine way but in a public way, too.”

The gardens will be uniquely suited to Louisville.

“I believe that this city has a very special culture: loving, friendly, a little bit quirky,” Maier says. “I work a lot with younger people, and I love the thought of making our city better for future generations; more interesting, with better education, more health options and opportunities.” It inspires her to keep going despite the immense scale of the project. “The personal impact on Louisville is pretty amazing and overwhelming; almost more overwhelming than the size of the project,” she says with a laugh. “‘You can’t do this alone,” she adds.

“There’s our board, our donors and about 200 active volunteers. I’m just trying to help keep structure to it and keep some vision on it, push the conversation forward and fundraise in the meantime, as well.”

Albrechta, too, sees the new gardens as a sign of hope for both nature and the arts. “Being in a city, sometimes you can lose respect or awareness of greenery and of nature,” she says. “To bring people out of their busy lives, so that they’re able to just sit or walk around the gardens and just be in nature, that’s really important for a city. That’s really a special thing.”

Sollee concurs with the dancer. “I love the story of this place,” he explains. “I love the idea of building this amazing, intentional, curated garden on top of an old landfill.” The location that once gathered trash and debris has changed slowly, over a century, to become a place for Louisville’s most beautiful collaborations of nature and art.

“There’s a story in that,” Sollee says, “and it needs to be told.” VT 0 5 . 2 4 . 2 0 1 8 V O I C E -T R I B U N E . C O M

Temples, Crafts and Goodbyes

ith Singapore in the Seven Seas Voyager’s “rearview mirror,” so to speak, we sailed toward Port Klang, Malaysia. It is the port for Kuala Lumpur some 44 miles away from the cruise terminal. Klang town itself is a very busy port and can be reached in about 20 minutes from the ship. The shore excursion of choice for this one-day stop was a traditional six-hour tour of the “Highlights of Kuala Lumpur” by coach.

We had been to KL, as it is known, several years ago. Back then, we were impressed by the city’s modern infrastructure, and this time we wanted to see what new changes had come about. The city’s name translates to “muddy confluence” or “muddy city.” It is the capital of Malaysia and the country’s largest city, with a greater metropolitan population of more than 7 million people.

Forty minutes into our excursion before reaching the city limits of KL, we had a photo stop at the Blue Dome Mosque. Officially known as the Sultan Salahuddin Abdul Aziz Mosque, it is the country’s largest mosque. It has a stunning blue and silver dome and four 467 foot tall minarets on the four corners of the structure. There wasn’t enough time on our packed schedule to go inside, but we enjoyed a beautiful view from the entrance gates.

Then, we were off to Thean Hou Temple. It is a Buddhist Temple that was constructed in the 19th century and finished in 1894. We were able to go inside and see the entire place. It has an open courtyard with hundreds of bright, red lanterns overhead. Its red pillared entrance and golden swooping roofs are nothing short of spectacular.

Our next stop was the Sri Kandaswamy Temple. A Hindu temple, it was completely different from our previous two stops. Completed in 1902, its architectural style came from Southern India and is known as Dravidian. It is character-

ized by pyramidal shapes and is highly ornamented with very colorful ceramic figures.

Now, if you want to see a doozy of an official residence, you need travel no further than our next stop: the Istana Negara, home of the Yang di-Pertuan Agong, Monarch of Malaysia. Construction began in 2007 and was completed in 2011. This was only a photo stop from the entrance gate, but what an entrance it is. Included are enclosed arches where soldiers stand at attention. At certain hours, they are mounted on horseback. The whole view in glorious sunshine with bright blue skies is absolutely stunning.

Having seen a number of overwhelming structures on this excursion, it was interesting to next visit Independence Square in the downtown area. It is a lovely, grassy area and was formerly a cricket green. It is the actual site where in 1957, the Malaysian flag was hoisted for the first time – signaling the country’s independence.

Our final stop was the one that most of the crowd was looking forward to: a visit to the iconic Petronas Twin Towers. These César Pelli-designed twin towers were the tallest buildings in the world until 2004 and are still the tallest twin towers. This is what we wanted to take time to fully appreciate. That said, within view from the Petronas Towers is the Signature Tower that is under construction and will top out taller than its twin-tower neighbor.

The Petronas Towers are 88 stories tall, constructed of concrete and clad in shiny steel and glass. Its design has many curved lines and is not simply tall and rectangular. The more you look, the more you see the beauty and thought that Pelli, an Argentine-born architect, put into what many think is his most significant work.

Back on the bus, we headed for “home” or ship, looking forward to a late afternoon libation and dinner with the “Social Travelers.” This is a group of people who are sailing by themselves. The ship has a social hostess, Marla Sanders, from Nashville. She is our friend and she looks after this group to make sure they are having a good time and meet others on the cruise. At times, we pitch in and help Marla, who also is an entertainer and once in a while appears as part of the evening entertainment in the ship’s Constellation

We awoke the next morning in Penang, Malaysia. We were sort of “templed out” and needed a rest from overwhelming religious structures. So, we scheduled a revisit to a place we visited two years ago. It was a “Batik Creation Experience,” and it is exactly what the title implies. After a pleasant breakfast on the top deck overlooking the really lovely Penang Port, we headed off to a batik factory.

The factory has a shop where there are all sorts of wonderful dresses, shirts, scarves and other things with batik designs for sale.

But the main objective was to create our own batik piece. In this case, it was a four-by-four foot creation that could serve as a scarf or wall hanging.

Having done this before, we knew what to expect. In advance of our arrival, the shop prepared a piece for each of us and had it mounted on a frame ready to be painted. The fabric is cotton and the design is “printed” on the fabric in paraffin wax.

Each of us selected small bottles of water-soluble paint in concentrated colors.

Armed with the colors we liked and a bottle of clear water, we set out to create. The purpose of the water was to dilute the concentrated color that is dabbed on the flowers and leaves. It allows for the dilution of the color while the wax design keeps the colors separated.

When the design is complete, the shop allows them to dry. They are then boiled in water to remove the wax and then ironed.

With the wax gone, there are white lines remaining to create the typical batik look.

Our creations were delivered to the ship before we sailed away that evening.

That night’s entertainment was an Australian vocalist named Beven Addinsall, who was once a child star on an Australian variety show. He has been entertaining on cruise ships for quite a few years. We not only enjoyed his performance on stage, we had dinner with him and his fiance the night before, where he was so very charming. We were surprised to hear them say that they were getting ready to move in two weeks from Australia to Penang to live permanently.

We closed the evening with a trip to the casino and my favorite penny slot machine.

I am still down $14! I don’t think they are interested in giving money away.

Phuket was our next stop and last stop in Thailand. When we arrived, the dock was filled with souvenir vendors and my mouth began to water. Brad’s did as well because they were cooking local Thai foods on the dock, and there is nothing he likes better than sampling local food. So, we went off on a relatively short excursion.

The first stop was a cashew nut factory.

The process is interesting and the oppor-

tunity to purchase cashews with all sorts of flavors was fun. We next drove to Chalong Temple, which is practically a whole campus with all sorts of beautiful buildings. The most interesting though was not beautiful at all. It is best described as a brick chimney approximately 10 feet tall. In it, the faithful can place huge quantities of firecrackers, which are set off in grateful appreciation for prayers answered. The sound can be deafening.

We got back to the ship in time to say goodbye to the ship’s captain, Felice Patruno.

He was off on vacation and we were going to miss him. We have had dinner with him several times, all of which were punctuated with much laughter and storytelling.

He first headed toward the sea at the age of 16 despite objections from his family. He accepted his first post as a cadet on a cargo ship on his birthday in 1980. He subsequently served on 23 Carnival ships. He has authored three books on shipboard safety and created numerous safety-training programs.

He joined Regent in 2009 and soon became master of the Seven Seas Mariner, a ship similar to the Voyager where we are today.

We are sincerely going to miss him and look forward to sailing together again in the near future.

Next week, we will get to Sri Lanka and India. VT 55

Summertime Society Royal Tennis, Garden Clubs, Polo Ponies and Copper Stills

t just so happens that the royal wedding took place on the same day as the annual Tennis Ball held at the Louisville Boat Club benefiting Visually Impaired Preschool Services (VIPS). You can imagine my excitement when I learned that attendees were requested to wear proper wedding attire, which meant a fascinator for the ladies. Sadly, in my overflowing hat inventory, I do not own a fascinator. I know, please don’t judge.

Taking the drive down River Road and arriving at the boat club is always tranquil, especially when you have champagne offered to you upon entering. Diane Nelson is the Executive Director of VIPS, and she had this to say about the fundraising evening: “This year, we set a record for what we raised and will be able to help more families that are in need.” The live auction was energizing and everyone was eager to give, raising their auction paddles to bid on their favorite lot.

The guest of honor, a graduate of VIPS, was dressed like a little princess. Her mother gave a tearful speech as she spoke about the experience at VIPS and how it has changed their lives for the better. The evening left me speechless. It was marvelous to see everyone support such a fantastic cause and to truly make a difference in the lives of so many preschoolers and their families.

The American Printing House for the Blind is another fantastic organization that

paves the way for individuals who are visually impaired. They too have an annual event that culminates in October – APH InSights Art Competition. It is a juried competition and exhibition for artists who are visually impaired or blind. Impressive and inspiring, these submissions moved me beyond words when I had the opportunity to get a peek while talking with Leslie Knox, the director of marketing and communications. “We have anywhere from 300 to 500 artists who participate every year,” she said. “All of the artists are legally blind. Three jurors are selected, and they will decide the finalists and winners in their various categories. It’s always been a very moving experience, not just for the artists but for their families and the staff here at APH.” Photographer Kurt Weston is one of the artists who submits annually. His work is spiritual, and as an amateur photographer, it immediately caught my eye. Legally blind, Weston’s self portraits show us what it’s like “Peering Through the Darkness,” which is the title of one of his well-known black and white photos. The image continues to speak to my spirit and echo through my mind each time I look at it.

Speaking of echoes, Rabbit Hole Distillery has been making a lot of noise in the distilling industry. I recently caught up with Kaveh Zamanian, founder of the brand, and he graciously took me on a tour of Rabbit Hole.

“Usually the equipment is walled off in separate rooms from hospitality,” he said. “But we want the visitor to be immersed in viewing 0 5 . 2 4 . 2 0 1 8 V O I C E -T R I B U N E . C O M

the process through multiple stages along the tour. From the silos, the grain, the loading dock, to the bottling, you will see it. But we want the Vendome copper still to be the hero here. Everything was designed in a way to ensure that the still remains the centerpiece.

There is no distillery in the U.S. that has done this.”

Much like a cathedral in its charm, approach and placement, you get a sense of religious passage as you walk up the stairs to the still that towers over everything in sight.

After sampling the bourbon, I see why Zamanian fell in love with the idea of distilling.

The only thing I adore more than bourbon is the sport of polo. Fortunately, Tiffany Meredith, marketing and development director for the Louisville Polo Club, invited me to attend Twilight Polo for a Purpose. The match was held at Oxmoor Farm and benefited Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s research at the UofL School of Medicine.

You always feel special making the drive down the fence-lined street and entering the open field to see the polo ponies galloping back and forth, preparing for the match.

Chairs were set up under a tent with music, food and libations that set the tone for a perfect evening. Attendees included doctors that are world-renowned and families that have fine-tuned the art of tailgating. I made my way over to the horse trailers, daydreaming for a moment about being a polo player, and realized that is best left to the professionals.

The Glenview Garden Club held their annual tour recently and it knocked my gardening socks off with several luxurious properties. Benefiting Waterfront Botanical Gardens, this year it certainly made an impression on everyone attending. It brings a deeper appreciation for gardening (something I love) along with the tranquility it delivers to our soul and spirit. In fact, I recently took the time to have a photo taken at the façade marking the entrance to the Waterfront Botanical Gardens in honor of Mother’s Day. It seemed like a perfect location as I compare gardening to motherhood: plant the seeds and watch them grow.

Every garden was spectacular, and the tour was punctuated by the last property, Woodland Farms in Goshen. Laura Lee Brown, who owns the property, greeted me with a warm smile as we chatted about its historical significance. She truly embodies Southern charm and encouraged me to walk the property. As I strolled around, admiring the many vignettes of art and botanical wonders, I found my final vista before leaving. It was on the back lawn, cliffside, overlooking the mighty Ohio River. How fortunate we are to live in such a wonderful community that is rich in historical history and value. As they say, “You reap what you sow.” VT

PEDIATRIC CARDIOLOGY CHIEF NAMED

BY UOFL

A United States Army Medical Corps veteran with eight years of experience at the University of Louisville Department of Pediatrics has been named division chief of pediatric cardiology.

Brian Holland, M.D., has been serving as interim chief since 2017 and practices with UofL Physicians-Pediatric Cardiology.

The UofL Board of Trustees approved his appointment in March.

“Dr. Holland relentlessly pursues quality improvement initiatives, research projects and growth opportunities to enhance and improve pediatric cardiovascular services, both in UofL pediatric clinics and at Norton Children’s Hospital,” said UofL Department of Pediatrics Chair Charles Woods, M.D. Holland is board-certified by the American Academy of Pediatrics, American College of Cardiology and American Society of Echocardiography.

He joined UofL as a pediatric cardiologist in 2010. In 2015, he became the medical director for echocardiography, which is the use of ultrasound to obtain images of the structure and function of the heart. He also is chief of cardiology at Norton Children’s Hospital.

Holland specializes in fetal, transthoracic and transesophageal echocardiography. Fetal echocardiography uses ultrasound to find details of heart defects before birth. Transthoracic echocardiography looks through the patient’s chest wall to see the heart, while transesophageal echocardiography uses a device that passes through the mouth into the esophagus to obtain images.

Holland attended the University of Pennsylvania, where he graduated summa cum laude with a degree in bioengineering. He then received his M.D. degree from the Medical College of Georgia in Augusta, where he was awarded membership in Alpha Omega Alpha Honor Medical Society.

Following his graduation from medical school, Holland served seven years with the U.S. Army Medical Corps. While in the Medical Corps, he completed an internship and residency in pediatrics at Tripler Army Medical Center in Honolulu and served as a pediatrician in Germany. He also earned the Bronze Star for exceptional service while deployed as a U.S. Army physician during Operation Enduring Freedom in Afghanistan.

After finishing his military service, Holland completed a three-year fellowship in pediatric cardiology at New York-Presbyterian, the training hospitals of Columbia University and Cornell University, before coming to UofL.

PASSAFIUME FAMILY TO CREATE FAITH FORMATION FUND AT THE CATHOLIC EDUCATION FOUNDATION

The Catholic Education Foundation of Louisville (the “Foundation”) recently announced that the Paul and Jean Passafiume family has agreed to create a new fund at the Foundation that will promote the continuing religious formation of Catholic school teachers, coaches and staff, and provide funds for faith-based classroom materials throughout the Archdiocese of Louisville. While the aggregate amount of the gift was not disclosed, Foundation President Richard A. Lechleiter noted that it represents one of the largest family gifts in the Foundation’s history.

Paul is the founder and president of SportsLeader, Inc., a not-for-profit Catholic organization that provides virtue-based programs for coaches and sports ministries across the country. Understanding the significant role that coaches play in the lives of students and school environments, the Passafiume family wanted to create a fund that could reach all school influencers who work with children and students.

The fund will be entitled, “The Saint Thomas Aquinas Fund,” named for the patron saint of Catholic education and will be administered by the Foundation. The Passafiume family will select and offer program-specific formation opportunities that will be approved by both the Foundation and the Superintendent of Catholic Schools.

The fund will be launched this summer and, for the initial year, it is expected that a select number of leading teachers, coaches and staff from across the Archdiocese will be able to receive grants to participate in the program.

Mr. Lechleiter remarked, “How lucky are we to have the Passafiume family offer such an innovative and inspired opportunity to our school leaders and students! This represents a giant step forward in the funding of religious education through the Catholic Education Foundation, and we are so God-blessed to be a part of this new venture. To Paul and Jean, we are truly thankful for your enormous generosity.”

The Most Reverend Joseph E. Kurtz, D. D., Archbishop of Louisville, also expressed his thanks.

“Along with the great strides we’ve all made over the past few years in tuition assistance funding for our Catholic school families, we now have this great gift from the Passafiume family to accelerate our religious formation efforts across the Archdiocese. This is a huge lift for all of us who want to spread the Gospel message throughout our schools and parishes, and I am so grateful for this blessing!”
