FROM THE

I never tire of watching talent on the rise, like that of 20-year-old artist Rashard Smith, this week’s focus of our Arts & Entertainment feature. The Spalding University student’s first solo gallery show begins June 1 at Avenue E, 536 S. Fourth St., at a 6 to 9 p.m. reception. If you want to see firsthand why Rashard is already making waves in the creative community, I encourage you to attend the event and read Brent Owen’s profile about the artist.

I can’t imagine a summer without swimming, but now that I have a little one, time in the water isn’t as carefree as it used to be. So, I was stopped cold when I read the following in this week’s Business Profile, which highlights Aqua-Tots Swim School: “According to the Centers for Disease Control, every day 10 people in the United States die from accidental drowning. It’s the fifth leading cause of unintentional injury death in the U.S. For every child who dies from drowning, another five receive emergency department care for nonfatal submersion injuries.

The CDC says drowning is the leading cause of unintentional death in children ages one to four.” If you have a toddler in your life, I implore you to consider swimming lessons for him or her sooner rather than later. Writer Lisa Hornung details even more ways why this is imperative in her article about Aqua-Tots, which is a must read.

Do you have a father – or father figure – you’d like to publicly acknowledge in our June 14 issue? Is there a dad 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 we’ll help you highlight him in an upcoming issue of The Voice-Tribune.

ACTING AGAINST CANCER PRESENTS “CARRIE THE MUSICAL” AT ART SANCTUARY Acting Against Cancer, a nonprofit semi-professional theater company that performs theatrical productions to raise money to help children touched by cancer, will be performing the shocking and striking “Carrie the Musical” June 8-17 at Art Sanctuary, 1433 S. Shelby St. All her life, Carrie White has been subjected to merciless ridicule by her classmates. Despite her truest efforts to fit in, no one at school shows any sympathy toward “Scary White.” At home, it’s no better, as her religious fanatic of a mother regularly forces Carrie into a prayer closet to beg for God’s forgiveness. As senior prom approaches, Sue Snell, one of Carrie’s classmates, is suddenly moved to be kind to Carrie and thus convinces her popular boyfriend, Tommy Ross, to take Carrie to the prom. But as the rest of the students continue to harbor contempt toward Carrie, including the vindictive Chris Hargensen and Billy Nolan, Carrie’s night becomes sure to take a turn for the worse.

But once the prank is pulled, Carrie exacts her ultimate revenge, giving everyone a night they’ll never forget.

There will be seven shows over the run period.

Specific dates and times can be found at actingagaisntcancer.com. Tickets are $20 in advance and $22 at the door. Tickets can be purchased in advance at actingagainstcancer.com. The show runs two hours with one 15-minute intermission.

The show is directed by Charlie Meredith and features Olivia Duff, Julie McGuffey, Clara Wilson, Justin White, Sean Donaldson and more.

“Carrie the Musical” is the final show of Acting Against Cancer’s 2017-18 season.

About Acting Against Cancer: Acting Against Cancer is a nonprofit theatre company that strives to encourage the arts as an approach to pediatric cancer treatment by producing dynamic theater in the Louisville community.

In the past, Acting Against Cancer has donated to Gilda’s Club Louisville, the hematology/oncology clinic and art therapy program of Norton Children’s Hospital, Ellie Cat’s Crew and others.

Bourbon & Bowties Benefiting Norton Children’s Hospital

As told by Lynnie Meyer, Senior Vice President & Chief Development Officer of Norton Healthcare

NINTH ANNUAL BOURBON & BOWTIES 6:30 to 10:30 p.m. June 7 Fleur de Lis Farm 8316 Wolf Pen Branch Road in Prospect nortonchildrens.com/bourbon andbowties 12

HOW IT STARTED

THIS YEAR’S HONOREE

he inaugural Bourbon & Bowties event was held June 23, 2010, in memory of Charles W. Gant, a loving and energetic eight-year-old boy who passed away from viral encephalitis on June 3, 2009. Family and friends established the event to give back to Norton Children’s Hospital for the wonderful care Charles received during his illness, as well as to ensure other children have access to top-notch medical care. The group teamed up with Chef Dean Corbett to host it at the former Corbett’s: An American Place. With eight chefs, music and a silent auction, the event was enjoyed by more than 600 people and raised more than $105,000.

Eight years later, the event has grown to include 43 chefs and has moved to the Bridgeman residence, Fleur de Lis Farm in Prospect. Five of the original chefs are still participating: Kathy Cary, Lilly’s Bistro; Dean Corbett, Equus & Jack’s Lounge; James Gerhardt, Pendennis Club; Peng S. Looi, August Moon Chinese Bistro; and Daniel Stage, Louisville Country Club.

The event sells out within a matter of minutes as 1,200 tickets are made available. The event now also offers a raffle to win $100 in gift cards to 26 Bourbon & Bowties restaurants – a $2,600 value.

Six-year-old Mya White was born in China and found abandoned in a park as an infant. When doctors discovered a tumor in her pelvis, she was taken to an orphanage. As her tumor grew rapidly, the orphanage sought help from a special care unit. Upon seeing Mya’s story on the website of an international organization that sponsored the special care unit, Shelly and Hal White of Louisville, along with their four children, decided to adopt her, undeterred by her diagnosis of stage four cancer. Norton Children’s Hospital and local pediatric physicians agreed to assume Mya’s medical care, making it possible for her to get a medical visa to come to the United States.

In May 2013, Mya arrived in Louisville and underwent 10 months of intense treatment, including chemotherapy, radiation and two 10-hour surgeries that ultimately removed all the cancer. The Addison Jo Blair Cancer Care Center at Norton Children’s Hospital became a “home away from home” for Mya’s family. Now, four years since the end of her treatment, Mya remains cancer free and is enjoying the life of a typical kindergartner.

When the Bourbon & Bowties committee learned of Mya’s story and the team at Norton Children’s Hospital that worked to save her, she was chosen as this year’s Bourbon & Bowties honoree.

THIS YEAR’S HOSTS Ryan Bridgeman, president and CEO of Manna Inc., is a member of the Children’s Hospital Foundation Board of Directors. His company has sponsored Chili’s Clips for Kids, an event that benefits Norton Children’s Cancer Institute since 2013. When it became known that the foundation was looking for a new venue for Bourbon & Bowties, he volunteered Fleur de Lis Farm. We are grateful to the Bridgeman family for their generosity in opening their beautiful home and grounds to create a spectacular new backdrop for this year’s event.

WHAT TO EXPECT This year’s event is presented by Northwestern Mutual, which greatly enhances its success. The highlight of the event is definitely the food. A record 43 chefs will create specialty hors d’oeuvres and desserts for guests while Brown-Forman, Four Roses, Heaven Hill and Maker’s Mark will create specialty bourbon drinks. Jeptha Creed and Korbel will also be offering tastings. Each year, Bourbon & Bowties creates a custom-designed bow tie, tie and bangle that is created with the honoree’s passion in mind and sold at the event. This year’s bow tie and tie have a dog theme in keeping with Mya’s love of animals. The items are sponsored by River Road Asset Management.

BY THE NUMBERS Since inception, this event has raised more than $1.5 million to support all areas of Norton Children’s Hospital including the Norton Children’s Heart Institute, the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit, Child Life and Expressive Therapy and the Norton Children’s Cancer Institute. We hope to raise more than $200,000 this year to continue to support the great work of Norton Children’s Hospital. VT 0 5 . 3 1 . 2 0 1 8 V O I C E -T R I B U N E . C O M

BOUTIQUE Summer Classics Louisville Celebrates 10Year Anniversary with Patio Party

O

S

ummer Classics Louisville opened its doors for the first time in the Westport Village Shopping Center 10 years ago this June, a milestone certainly deserving of a celebration. To recognize its first decade of business, Summer Classics is inviting the community to a Patio Party from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. June 16.

Offering both indoor (Gabby) and outdoor (Summer Classics) furnishings, lighting and accessories, the shop has become one of the premier retail locations for home décor. Owner Allison Allison Carothers.

Carothers and her team of talented designers have helped furnish homes and businesses in the Louisville area and beyond.

“It feels like we (just) opened our doors yesterday, yet here we are ten years later,” said Carothers. “We are honored to have the opportunity to partner with our clients to design and furnish their homes and businesses. Our goal will always be to create beautiful spaces where memories can be made with family and friends. The Summer Classics and Gabby product lines are as durable as they are beautiful and we are excited for the future.”

The event will be held at Summer Classics, 1321 Herr Lane #160, in Westport Village and include promotions, hors d’oeuvres, refreshments and opportunities to win special prizes.

Shop for a Cause at Sassy Fox Raises Money for the SAA

n May 24, Sassy Fox Upscale Consignment on Chenoweth Lane hosted a Shop for a Cause day to raise money for the Spondylitis Association of America. The SAA helps to raise awareness and fund research for Ankylosing Spondylitis and other forms of Spondyloarthritis. Spondyloarthritis (pronounced spon-dyl-oh-arthritis) is the name given to a group of closely related rheumatic diseases that primarily affect the spine (spondylo) and other joints.

The SAA receives no government funding and relies on the generous donations of individuals to create and maintain the programs and services aimed at improving the futures of the 2.7 million Americans affected by spondylitis.

Sassy Fox owner Jessica Moreland was diagnosed with Ankylosing Spondylitis in June of last year. The SAA was a great source of information and support for her.

The store had a wonderful turnout of customers, consignors and friends who came out to donate and support the fundraiser. In total, Moreland and her team were able to raise $1,000 for the SAA.

Destined for Greatness 20-year-old artist Rashard Smith is making waves in the creative community Story by Brent Owen Photos by Kathryn Harrington

I

t’s a warm, late spring morning and artist Rashard Smith is walking the second floor of Morrison Hall. The South Fourth Street building sits on the Spalding University campus where Rashard is a sophomore. The hall was once a student dormitory but is now a designated studio space for the university’s art students. Through open doors along the hallway, you can peek into each studio and see young artists hard at work. In one room, photo proofs are taped to a wall. In others, a sheet covers an eerie kind of sculpture that appears to have outstretched arms or an easel holding a blank canvas, calmly waiting on an artist’s hand to bring it to life.

Toward the end of the hallway, the 20-year-old turns in to his studio to compile the pieces that will comprise his first solo gallery show. Rashard’s work will be on display at Avenue E, 536 S. Fourth St., during the month of June. He will kick the month-long show off with an artist reception 6 to 9 p.m. June 1. There

RASHARD SMITH SHOWCASE June 1-30 Avenue E 536 S. Fourth St. Reception: 6 to 9 p.m. June 1 Food and drinks provided

will be appetizers and beverages provided at the reception, and Rashard will be on hand to discuss his work.

Inside, his studio is packed. The walls are covered and piles of finished and unfinished work lay everywhere. The sheer number of pieces in his studio would be impressive for an artist twice his age. His subject matter ranges from traditional (nude portraits or still life) to kitchy (several brightly colored variations on an ape that seemingly ponders life) to abstracts (in which he uses “lots of color to trick viewers’ eyes”) and even some original cartoon characters with bright neon skin (none of which he has names for yet).

Rashard’s choice in medium is as erratic as his choices in subject matter. He says he has been utilizing more traditional techniques – like charcoal, pencils and acrylics – lately.

But he’s using them on any surface he can get his hands on: canvas, paper, cardboard, scrap wood, an old door, garden lattice or skateboard decks. It doesn’t matter to Rashard; he will make art with whatever you put in front 0 5 . 3 1 . 2 0 1 8 V O I C E -T R I B U N E . C O M

of him. There’s even a black and white nude portrait that hangs on the wall. He fashioned it in the style of a mosaic by haphazardly tearing up scraps of paper, each painted a slightly different shade of gray. There is no other way to describe his versatile work than breathtakingly original.

Rashard was born in Cincinnati, Ohio.

His father’s work moved the family around quite a bit – from Ohio to Atlanta to Alabama – before they settled in Louisville about five years ago. He attended and graduated from South Oldham High School.

Growing up, Rashard doesn’t recall his parents being overly artistic, with the exception of his mother dabbling in ceramics. “There was always a sketchbook in my hand,” he said. “I was always drawing just to draw.” By the time he was six years old, his art became less a hobby and more a form of therapy when he was diagnosed with dyslexia.

Professionals encouraged him to continue with his artwork because drawing has been known to help kids overcome the challeng-

ing disorder. Learning this only increased Rashard’s enthusiasm for art, and he began drawing more than ever.

He would often stay home with his sketch pad, recreating his favorite superheroes like Green Lantern, Spiderman or Luke Cage. He even tried to create a few superheroes of his own.

“Dyslexia made it hard to express myself with words the same way other kids could,” said Rashard. “Art really allowed me express myself in a way that I hadn’t been able to before.” The professionals were correct. Over time, he developed good hand-eye coordination, which helped him to better focus – even when he wasn’t drawing – and this helped him overcome his dyslexia.

It’s a struggle he hasn’t forgotten. He’s not even old enough to drink and Rashard already aims to be an example to the next generation of young artists.

“I’m dyslexic,” he said. “I would love to give my art to children who also struggle with it to show them that they can be some19

LIFE

thing. Hopefully they can look up to me and know that they can overcome it.”

The inclination to help the next generation was planted by other artists who have supported his budding career, including Lynn Dunbar, with whom he completed an internship, and Charles Rice, the artist-in-residence at Avenue E. “He is a really talented artist,” Rashard said of Rice. “I would be lying if I said I wasn’t a little intimidated but also very honored to be able to put my work in the same place he is showing his.”

Rice speaks of Rashard with equal admiration: “(Rashard’s) work is refreshing! (I’m) excited about watching his body of work expand.”

Rice isn’t the only established artist to have mutual respect for the young talent. Rashard cites the influence of artists like David Choe, Jean-Michel Basquiat and Synthia Saint James. He’s even developed a personal connection with Saint James since he showed her his work when she visited Kentucky State University in 2016. Saint James is a world-renowned artist based out of California. She designed the first Kwanzaa stamp the United States Postal Service ever issued. Her work has been published in countless books and shown in galleries all over the world. She even did the original cover art for Terry McMillan’s bestselling novel “How Stella Got Her Groove Back.”

Rashard and Saint James kept in touch after that first meeting. She returned to Kentucky State University last year as artist-in-residence, and Rashard participated in her master’s class. “It’s almost like she mentored me,” said Rashard. “She taught me so many

“Honors Mindset” by Synthia Saint James featuring a likeness of Rashard Smith.

things when it comes to not just my art but art in general.”

The admiration was mutual. Saint James said of her former student via email: “Rashard Smith is an innately gifted visual artist destined to make his mark in the world of art.” He also inspired her own work. Using a picture she had taken of Rashard (with his permission, of course), she incorporated his image into a commissioned painting for the National Association of African American Honors Programs (NAAAHP.org). The painting is called “Honors Mindset.”

At 20 years old, Rashard has talent, ambition and the admiration of peers and elders alike. One has to wonder what comes next for such an individual.

He says one of his goals is to shine a light on other African-American artists. “Growing up, you hear so much about European artists and so little about African-American ones,” he said. “Those European artists have great work, don’t get me wrong. But there is so much beauty in the African-American experience, as well. I want people to see that, too.”

Beyond that, he’s a little uncertain as to what will happen after graduation (he’s majoring in studio art and sculpture). “I get that it’s a tough industry and I might have to work side jobs,” said Rashard. Regardless, he’s certain his path won’t stray too far from the art world.

“I just love being around art,” he said. “I don’t know anything but art. I’ve been doing it so long it’s a part of who I am.” VT 0 5 . 3 1 . 2 0 1 8 V O I C E -T R I B U N E . C O M

A Game with Heart Pink & White Game raises highest single game proceeds ever Story by Randy Whetstone Jr. Photos courtesy of Tim Porco

he 11th annual Pink and White game between Assumption High School and Sacred Heart Academy raised the most proceeds in the event’s history, which recently resulted in a five-digit donation to Norton Cancer Institute Breast Health Program on May 24.

The April 27 game featured a number of talented seniors, some of whom will go on to play Division I athletics in their respective sports. The athletes traded in their normal uniforms and played their hearts out for a purpose.

“It’s one of the greatest experiences I’ve had in high school, and although it’s a short two month season, the practices and the game are something that is truly special,” says Sacred Heart player Kiley Polk.

“Being able to come together with other athletes from different sports and become as close if not closer than any other team at Sacred Heart Academy was incredible. The time commitment is tough, but everything revolves around who and what we’re playing for.”

After the latest installment of the rivalry,

Sacred Heart has the right to do a bit of trash talking after a 27-12 win over Assumption.

But regardless of the score, everyone comes out a winner in this game.

Around 5,000 tickets sold out in less than 24 hours. Sacred Heart, Assumption, Trinity and St. X all filled the stands of Trinity’s Marshall Stadium in a momentous Friday night game. The proceeds from the evening support the Norton Cancer Institute Breast Health Program and this year, the game raised $50,000, its highest amount ever. The total donation amount over the course of 11 years is $273,000.

“The players for Assumption and Sacred Heart are very aware of the underlying cause that exists with the Pink & White Game – the widespread battle against breast cancer,” says Sacred Heart head coach Marc Breit.

“The game has evolved with the combined efforts and support of Assumption, Sacred Heart, Trinity and St. X. That has created a ‘Four Schools, Two Rivalries, One Cause, Everyone Wins’ mantra. So a big community pull exists, but there is an even bigger picture – raising money for the local Norton Cancer Institute Breast Health Program and awareness to the real heroes that have either defeated it or are battling it.”

“In six years that I have coached, multiple girls have played Division I athletics and have been part of state champion teams, and all of them say this is the most fun sporting event they have ever participated in,” says Assumption head coach Wayne West. “The fact that the money is raised and goes toward breast cancer is the true cause, and the bonus is that the girls have an absolute blast.

thing they really, really enjoy.”

The Pink & White game gets bigger and bigger each year. Athletic directors, coaches and players all work for a cause they realize is bigger than football.

The event wouldn’t be complete without halftime entertainment from the boys of St. X and Trinity. After learning choreography taught by Assumption and Sacred Heart dance coaches, a host of Shamrock and Tiger boys dressed in pink delighted the crowd with an array of dance moves that were hilarious yet impressive.

“It becomes such a big event,” West adds.

“The number of boys that participate on the dance team has increased. Typically during halftime in football, you make adjustments 0 5 . 3 1 . 2 0 1 8 V O I C E -T R I B U N E . C O M

and you’re working on things. Not in this game. The girls want to watch the boys dance and I’ll be honest, as a coach, I kind of want to watch them, too.”

As these four schools continue to work collectively for a cause, the city can look forward to seeing the Pink & White game grow. Sacred Heart player Kia Sivils certainly believes in its potential.

“It’s an amazing event that is ready for the next level,” she says. “I can see this growing with the main event being the SHA versus Assumption game. This could bring in additional money for such a worthy cause and gain local or national attention. I can see it growing big enough to fill Papa John Stadium.” VT

A Q&A WITH LENIHAN SOTHEBY’S AGENT

CARA KING Are you a Louisville native?

I was born and raised in Jeffersonville, Indiana, attended University of Louisville and have lived my entire life in Kentuckiana.

What do you enjoy doing in your free time?

I love to travel, meet new people and see new places.

There is always something to be learned from others. I also love spending time with my family. I’ve been married almost 20 years and am a mother of two. My daughter, Kailey, will be a sophomore at University of Kentucky and my son, Jimmy, will be a senior at St. Xavier.

Which local causes are closest to your heart?

Giveback Homes and Make a Wish are two of my favorite charities. I donate a portion of every home I sell to both.

Have you always worked in real estate?

Previously, I owned Blink Boutique in St. Matthews for 11 years, which gave me a great opportunity to interact intimately with many people in our community. Prior to Blink, I worked in corporate sales. I’ve been selling one thing or another my entire life. I currently work for Lenihan Sotheby’s International Realty and have since 2011.

What values do you abide by in your work?

Honesty is paramount to me and guides all my decision making. I have worked my entire life and know the value of a dollar. My clients spend large sums of money, and I treat every one of their dollars as if it were my own.

Why do you enjoy working in real estate?

I think I most enjoy putting a family into the perfect home for them. A lot of times that means helping them identify the potential that older homes in some more established neighborhoods offer. One of my favorite things is to come back and see the changes people have made to an older home to make it their own.

What do you think makes a home a Prestigious Property?

Prestigious Properties aren’t always the most expensive or largest homes. In my opinion, prestigious properties are located in desirable areas with great neighbors and are located close to great restaurants, parks and schools. These are all of the things I look for in a prestigious property.

Partyline Captains, Cochin and Crops

By Carla Sue Broecker

W

e have been aboard the Seven Seas Voyager since before the beginning of the year. Last week, I briefly mentioned the ship’s delightful captain, Felice Patruno, who left for a vacation back in Southern Italy. We hated to see him leave the ship.

His family has vineyards in the Puglia region of the country. At the age of 16, he saw a billboard of a sailor dressed in his formal white uniform looking through binoculars toward the horizon. The caption read, “Come to sea, and you will visit the world.” His family disagreed but he persisted, and at age 16 he went to the Nautical Academy. His first opportunity to set sail came about when he was offered a job as a deckhand on a small cargo vessel.

His duties included swabbing the decks, washing the pots and pans in the galley and cleaning the captain’s quarters. His first night at sea was a “baptism by fire” in the notoriously stormy Gulf of Lion in the Mediterranean Sea. After a severe bout of seasickness, Felice found his “sea legs” and never looked back.

After a stint at Carnival where he learned the passenger cruise industry, he oversaw the construction for the Costa Atlantica, the Carnival Spirit and the Carnival Pride in Helsinki. With a desire to transition to the luxury cruise market, Capt. Patruno joined Regent Seven Seas in 2009. The rest is history.

Capt. Daniel Green, whom we have known for a long time, was the ship’s master when we boarded in December. When he went on vacation, Capt. Patruno came aboard. Now, Capt. Green is back and was heartily welcomed when he came aboard.

He is from Sweden and went to sea like Capt. Patruno at the tender age of 16 on cargo ships as an O/S (ordinary seaman). He moved up to the rank of able bodied seaman working on ferries between

Sweden and Finland. He attended the Maritime Academy in Kalmar.

After years of working on ships as a third and second officer, he finally graduated. From there, with a captain’s degree and watch-keeping license under his belt, it was time to see the world.

His first cruise ship was the Radisson Diamond, a catamaran we loved when we took it through the Panama Canal to Costa Rica and again in the Baltic.

Since then, he has mastered all the ships in the Regent fleet but the new Explorer. He has a beautiful wife and young son, both of whom were on board with us in January.

Now, back to sailing. When we left Phuket, our last stop in Thailand, we had two days at sea. The first was the Andaman Sea and the second was the Bay of Bengal, not that you could tell one from the other.

Our next stop was to be Galle in Sri Lanka. However, weather gave us a sea that was too rough to be able to anchor and tender ashore. Capt. Green made the wise call that it was too dangerous to transfer guests to the ship’s tenders safely. So, we moved on to Colombo, Sri Lanka and got there early. It is a place we have visited several times and like very much.

One of the highlights of Colombo is the Pinnawala Elephant Orphanage. It was first established in 1975 with seven orphan elephants. Today, some of the original orphans have grandchildren born in the same location where there are now more than 80 elephants.

Working as a conservation and educational center rather than as a strictly tourist attraction, the orphanage has a captive breeding program and believes that the free movement of the herd provides a healthier environment. There is a nearby river and we got to see a lot of the herd bathing and playing in the water.

When we said goodbye to Sri Lanka, we began an extended visit to India starting with Cochin a.k.a. Kochi. Our literature said the name came from the Chinese, who have a heavy presence there. Evidence of the Chinese influence came from the fact that Cochin is the only place outside of China where the peculiar Chinese fishing nets are found. We got to see them in action on our shore excursion, which began at St. Francis Church.

The church was built in 1503 and is believed to be the oldest European church in

India. Its simple, plain white interior is striking and peaceful.

Next, we took a long walk along the shore to see the fishing nets. We had seen them on our sail into Cochin, but this was an opportunity to get up close and really understand how they work. The nets function as enormous scoops located on the beach, which are on a lever system that lowers them to the bottom of the water. Then, when the fishermen know that the tides are bringing in the fish, they are raised and catch many different kinds of fish at one time.

The fish are then sorted right there on the shore, and an informal fish market goes into business for willing customers. No fish could be any fresher.

Our coach then took us to visit the Mattancherry Palace, built by the Portuguese in 1555 and later renovated by the Dutch. Many of its walls are covered by beautiful but faded murals. The word “palace” may be an overstatement in our parlance, but it was interesting. From there, we walked to Jew Street (that is really the name) to do some souvenir shopping and have a photo stop visit to the Paradesi Synagogue, which was closed.

Back at the ship, it was great to recover from the high heat and humidity with a gin and tonic and a sail-away.

Bright and early the next morning, we sailed into Mangalore, India. It is a busy, slightly chaotic town but charming. The shore excursion choice of the day took us to 0 5 . 3 1 . 2 0 1 8 V O I C E -T R I B U N E . C O M

Karkala town, which is over an hour away.

The purpose was to start off the day with a visit to the Monolith Rock Statue of Lord Gomateshwara. This trip definitely tested our endurance. The 57-foot-tall statue is located on a hill and to really see it, you need to climb up 212 uneven steps. The view of the statue and the breathtaking scenery surrounding the hill was worth it. And the climb down all 212 uneven steps wasn’t so bad if you held on to the rickety railing.

Back on the coach, we headed off to Soans Farm, and what a charming delight that turned out to be. Our host at the farm was none other than Dr. L. C. Soans and various members of his family. Dr. Soans is Indian but is from Montana of all places.

The farm was initially started in 1926 by Swiss and German missionaries to develop the hilly area into a place for useful cultivation.

Now that it is owned and managed by Dr. Soans and his family, it has developed into a large center of innovative horticulture, growing over 30 different fruit crops.

Upon arrival, we were treated to a generous glass of the best pineapple juice I’ve ever had. Dr. Soans proudly announced to anyone listening that there were “no preservatives, sugar, artificial sweeteners or colors. Just pineapple juice.” It was icy cold and we loved it.

Other crops grown include coconuts, cashew nuts, mangoes, breadfruit, jackfruit, pepper, nutmeg, cloves and allspice.

Our visit to the farm included a walk

through part of the cultivated area and interesting explanations of the peculiar growing habits of each crop.

The day ended with a drive to the Moodbidri community and a visit to the Thousand Pillared Temple. It was really an interesting and lovely place. However, I am not sure there are really a thousand pillars because I lost count, so I took their word for it The next day, we docked at Goa in India.

We drove for 90 minutes to visit a basilica and a cathedral. Then, we visited a gigantic flower and fruit market. Finally, we went to a private home to meet the family and have refreshments.

We’re off to Bombay and Mumbai next week. VT

Gatsby Revival Lincliffe, Mentorship and Pairings

By Janice Carter Levitch

What made this afternoon so special was listening to Vince Dooley talk about his experience as a football coach turned avid gardener.

THE HORTICULTURAL JOURNEY OF A FOOTBALL COACH

“T

he Great Gatsby” has always been a favorite novel of mine, and the afternoon I spent at the Lincliffe Estate felt like an immersive experience of Fitzgerald’s story. The garden party was hosted by Steve Humphrey, the estate’s owner, to benefit the Waterfront Botanical Gardens.

The day included lunch and a Q&A with former University of Georgia football coach Vince Dooley. Our delightful host had us in wonderful straw gardening hats and boots rather than fancy garden party get-ups so we could tromp around comfortably.

What made this afternoon so special was listening to Vince Dooley talk about his experience as a football coach turned avid gardener. Emcees Bob Hill and Terry Meiners led an informative and entertaining discussion, and listening to Dooley speak was a treat indeed.

“A football coach who talks gardening, you don’t run into this very often – it’s an interesting combination of elements,” said Meiners. “He spent a lot of years recruiting some of the most stunning athletes to play football at that incredible institution but then discovered his love of gardening.”

“The atmosphere, the food, everything is set up beautifully here under this tent on the front lawn of Lincliffe,” said Dooley.

“My experience as a football coach has been thrilling, and gardening has really been a joy for me.”

After the Q&A, I wanted to jump out of my seat and run for a pass through the boxwood garden nearby (I’m not that athletic, but a girl can dream).

Lincliffe is a magical place, and I had the opportunity to chat with Humphrey about his own love for gardening and the property he maintains so methodically. When I asked him where he derives inspiration for garden designs, he mentioned traveling to great destinations. “When I traveled around the world, I would always carve out some time to spend a day looking at gardens,” he said. “I remember going to Owensboro and visiting their botanical garden, which made me think about creating a world-class botanical garden here in Louisville. Part of the lure for me to visit different locations is what kind of gardens they have. I needed lots of ideas to begin transforming the gardens surrounding the property here.

“The most important element – every gardener will tell you – is to plant whatever you fall in love with; just plant it and try it,” Humphrey continued. “(You should) especially use fountains so that you can hear the calming sound of running water. It creates a tranquil feeling,” he said. “Pockets of surprises intricately placed throughout any garden also offer unique experiences for anyone looking for inspiration.”

It was an honor to experience the fruits of another kind of brilliance at Jeptha Creed Distillery’s recent Farm to Table Dinner. The menu, created by Chef Josh Moore of Volare Ristorante, was a power-packed delight of fresh ingredients selected from the Moore farm. The four-course meal (with each course better than the last) paired with Jeptha Creed spirits was a culinary journey that pleased the palate. My personal favorite was the duck egg pappardelle pasta with lamb ragout. It was beyond delicious.

With a down-home flair, the mood was relaxed as Moore explained each course in great detail. “Enjoy your meal tonight – all the ingredients are fresh and carefully selected to pair with the different spirits here at Jeptha Creed,” he said. The pairings were amazing, and as I experienced each course, it inspired me to try cooking something new in my own kitchen sometime soon.

CULINARY BRILLIANCE Speaking of brilliant pairings, Vincenzo and Agostino Gabriele were honored recently by the Italian Cultural Institute for their years of mentorship and innovation. Several Louisville restaurateurs who were personally shaped by the Gabriele brothers gathered in the kitchen at Sullivan University to prepare a five-course meal in their honor.

Just Keep Swimming Aqua-Tots Swim Schools provides fun for kids and peace of mind for parents Story by Lisa Hornung Photos by Kathryn Harrington

R

yleigh Gillum will turn two in July, and she loves her swim classes. “As soon as we leave, she’s like, ‘Mama, (can we) go swimming?’”

Ryleigh, like other American kids, is learning to swim for fun, but also to save her life. According to the Centers for Disease Control, every day 10 people in the United States die from accidental drowning. It’s the fifth leading cause of unintentional injury death in the U.S. For every child who dies from drowning, another five receive emergency department care for nonfatal submersion injuries. The CDC says drowning is the leading cause of unintentional death in children ages one to four.

Jake and Lindsay Thayer opened the Louisville branch of Aqua-Tots, where Ryleigh takes her lessons, two months ago. They also own franchises in Lexington and Indianapolis.

“Growing up 20 minutes from Lake Michigan, that’s how I learned to swim,” Jake Thayer said. “It was, ‘walk in and let’s figure it out.’ So, it’s super important to teach your kids to swim.” He added that statistics show that taking swim lessons between ages one and four can reduce a child’s risk of drowning by 88 percent.

54

“That’s significant. I would do anything that’s going to reduce my risk of injury or death for my kids.”

Christy Gillum, Ryleigh’s mom, said she decided to try Aqua-Tots because she’d heard positive reviews. After the initial lesson, Ryleigh loved it. “She was a little scared when we first went, but now she loves the songs,” Gillum said. “They do songs and are very interactive with the little kids, and she asks to go every week.”

Thayer explained that Aqua-Tots is a premium service. You can find swim lessons that cost less elsewhere; however, their business provides a more comfortable, quality experience, he said. The indoor pool is heated to 90 degrees, and the air in the pool area is about 92. Parents sit outside the pool area in 70 degree air conditioning, watching through a glass wall while sitting in comfy chairs.

“If you’re in (another public) pool in the lap pool, it has to be 70 or 72 degrees, or (lap swimmers) will pass out,” Thayer said. “But then you’ve got little kids in there shivering with blue lips. We take that away.”

“I joke that the only thing they’re missing is a cocktail,” said Christy Ott, mom of Cal, age three, and Jo Jo, age four months. She came to Aqua-Tots because she grew up with Lindsay Thayer and knew the family well.

“They are outstanding people,” she said.

about six weeks and she will get Jo Jo in a class soon. Four months is the starting age for classes at Aqua-Tots, and the parents get in the water with their children until they are two and a half years old.

Thayer said parents of young children are learning as much as the children. “We’re teaching the parents just as much as the kids about safety around the water,” he explained about the level one and two classes. The youngest children are adapting to the sounds and smells of a pool and getting used to their surroundings. As they grow and learn about water safety, they will learn to roll over, float and breathe and to safely get to the side of the pool should they ever fall into the water.

Christy Ott and her husband Lou have a pool in their backyard, so Cal takes lessons at Aqua-Tots as well as private lessons. Ott wanted to make sure her son is safe, but he’s “a pistol,” she said. “During the first class, he said, ‘My mommy lets me do cannonballs,’ ‘My mommy lets me swim,’ and the teacher finally said, ‘OK, you know what, try it.’ And he did. And he sunk. But she got him, and right away said, ‘Now see, this is why you have to listen and stay against the wall.’ She’s a great instructor.”

Gillum said having Ryleigh in swimming lessons makes her rest a little easier. Knowing her daughter knows what to do makes her feel better around water.

Anytime you can find an activity where the child’s needs are being met and they’re having fun, you can’t really put a price tag on it.

“It’s giving you a little peace of mind that if your child would happen to fall in water or be around water, you don’t have to worry as much,” Gillum said. “The place we’re going (on vacation) has five different pools, so we’re getting her used to being in and around a pool. She likes to take off running, and this way I’m not so frantic about her running around.”

Aqua-Tots requires a membership and then members can purchase lessons. The cost depends on the number of children and the number of times per week they want to attend, Thayer said. There are also open swim times for members to take a dip and practice their skills, and they host swim parties.

Thayer said the instructors receive more than 50 hours of classroom and in-water training, are CPR certified and American Red Cross Shallow Water Rescue certified. The maximum class size is four children. Parents get to see a weekly Aqua Card, which tells them how well their child is progressing and what they will learn in each class. Those 12 and older can take private swim lessons.

“It’s great for the child and gives them exactly what they need to swim to the best of their ability,” Ott said. “It also gives the parents the assurance that the environment is relaxing and fun and the child looks forward to it. Anytime you can find an activity where the child’s needs are being met and they’re having fun, you can’t really put a price tag on it.” VT
