EDITOR’S NOTE

Letter Editor

FROM THE

ST. AGNES CARNIVAL 2018 July 20 & 21

Earlier this week, I sat at a table inside Atlantic No. 5 downtown waiting on my salad to arrive while proofing pages for this issue and couldn’t help but smile as I read these words from photographer-writer Jessa Mayhew about her family’s recent trip to Vietnam: “Life doesn’t stop when you have children; it expands. … Through the eyes of our children, we cultivated a deeper love for our global community, and in that unfamiliar air our children learned that we are all far more alike than we are different.”

Taking the time to travel means reaping benefits of all manner. Those who vacation are healthier, less stressed, more creative and happier, according to numerous studies. But travel also provides something so many of us could use more of in our lives: proof that we are indeed far more alike than we often realize.

In this issue of The Voice-Tribune, we feature a variety of stories, photographs and tips for travel around the world and right here in our community. (Yes, a “staycation” counts as travel when you commit to finding and immersing yourself in something you never experienced.) I hope you find inspiration to explore this summer or, at the very least, use our guide to help you to begin preparation for your next trip, whether that’s sooner or later.

DONATE LIFE 2018 ECHO OBSERVANCE HIGHLIGHTS THE IMPORTANCE OF ORGAN/ EYE/TISSUE DONATION & TRANSPLANTATION IN MUTICULTURAL COMMUNITIES

Donate Life’s Every Community Has Opportunity (ECHO) is a national observance that encourages social media and community storytelling centered around donation education in multicultural communities throughout the U.S. Donate Life America (DLA) and the Association for Multicultural Affairs in Transplantation (AMAT) created Donate Life ECHO to focus on the importance of donation and transplantation in multicultural communities.

Multicultural communities nationwide are disproportionately in need of lifesaving organ transplants, especially kidneys. Currently 58 percent of the U.S. transplant waiting list is comprised of multicultural patients. ECHO highlights the importance of registering to be an organ/eye/tissue donor, honors donors and donor families and celebrates what transplantation has made possible in multicultural communities. This year’s two-week observance is July 8-21.

Increasing educational efforts, outreach and registration opportunities are vital steps towards expanding the number of registered donors and lives saved in multicultural communities. This year, Donate Life ECHO storytelling and outreach will include: · Boomerang #DonateLifeECHOChallenge – DLA and AMAT are inviting the public to share a Boomerang video on Instagram about why donation is important to them and/or their community. Donate Life ECHO Challenge participants will tag @donatelifeamerica, use the hashtag #DonateLifeECHOChallenge and encourage everyone to register their decision to be a donor at RegisterMe.org. · Walgreens Consumer Awareness Campaign – Throughout July, information about Donate Life ECHO will be featured on Walgreens health resource panels included with prescriptions filled at its retail and local specialty pharmacies nationwide. · Donate Life Caregiving – This year, the Donate Life ECHO observance will center on the theme of Donate Life Caregiving. DLA and AMAT are paying homage to the caregivers within, and for, our communities.

Caregivers are vital to the health and wellbeing of patients, families and our societal fabric.

“We created Donate Life ECHO to give a national voice to the experience of multicultural communities with donation and transplantation.

The voices and experiences from these communities need to be heard,” says Maria Veve, president of the Association for Multicultural Affairs in Transplantation (AMAT). “This year join us to include Donate Life Caregiving in the Donate Life ECHO message. Caregivers lift us up, walk with us and catch us when we fall. We are grateful for the opportunity to recognize all they do to make life possible in this year’s observance.”

Donate Life ECHO resources are available in English, Spanish and additional languages. Resources and more information about how to be a part of Donate Life ECHO are available at: DonateLife.net/ECHO and amat1.org/programs/ECHO. You can register your decision to be an organ, eye and tissue donor in the National Donate Life Registry at RegisterMe.orgor the Medical ID Tab of your iPhone Health app or in Spanish at DoneVida.org.

Nonprofit News In recognition of COMMUNITY FOUNDATION OF her contributions LOUISVILLE EXECUTIVE RECOGNIZED and leadership, FOR HER PHILANTHROPIC LEADERSHIP the Community WITH APPOINTMENT TO COMMUNITY Foundation of FOUNDATIONS OF CANADA Louisville’s (CFL) Vice President of Mission and Impact Trisha Finnegan has been selected to serve as the only international representative on the board of directors for the Community Foundations of Canada (CFC). CFC represents nearly 200 community foundations that strive to make Canadian communities better places to live, work and play. CFC’s 17-member board holds one seat for a non-Canadian, chosen for his or her ability to add diversity of experience, perspective and capabilities to its progressive work already underway.

“Trisha is a thoughtful, focused leader in the global community philanthropy movement and we are excited to welcome her to our board of directors,” said Andrew Chunilall, CEO of CFC. “We believe her experience in the sector in the U.S., combined with her knowledge of the corporate sector – among many of her other qualifications – will be extremely valuable as CFC continues to grow and evolve on local and global initiatives.”

CFC first became aware of Finnegan’s work in Mexico City in Feb. 2018 at the Council on Foundations North AmeriTrisha Finnegan. can Community Foundations Summit, where she presented on impact investing. The summit brought together Community Foundation leaders from the United States, Mexico and Canada to discuss shared challenges and opportunities for building more resilient and sustainable communities across North America.

“It’s no surprise to me that Trisha has been selected for the council; she is an innovative and progressive leader who stands out among her peers and colleagues in the field,” said Susan Barry, CFL’s President and CEO. “We are thrilled for Trisha and cannot wait for her to bring a bit of Canada back to Louisville.”

With the support of the CFL’s board of directors and executive leadership, Finnegan began her three-year term of service with a board meeting in Ottawa June 26-27.

“Trisha’s election as the international member of the Community Foundations of Canada Board of Directors demonstrates the power of connection between our countries and the importance of community philanthropy,” said Natalie Ross, Council on Foundations’ vice president of external relations and Brad Ward, the council’s director of community philanthropy. “As we increase opportunities to work and engage across borders, we move closer to finding solutions to the problems that plague communities across the globe.”

“I am eager to contribute to the work underway in Canada and look forward to deep learning around our neighbor’s most successful approaches to positive community change, which offer great promise to advance our local community,” Finnegan said.

his is the fourth year for Norton Children’s Hospital Splash ’n‘ Dash Walk/Run. This event has seen incredible growth since its inception, most notably with last year’s transition to the new Waterfront Park location.

Organizers expect a great turnout this year.

Norton Healthcare Senior Vice President and Chief Development Officer Lynnie Meyer took time to share the details about the upcoming event.

WHAT TO EXPECT Participants have the option of walking or running the 5K and 1K courses. The courses take participants through a waterfilled obstacle in which they go through a slip ’n‘ slide, over a 3-foot or 5-foot wall and maneuver the rest of the course as volunteers and physicians spray them with water. Participants will also encounter bubbles and foam

on the courses, and fire departments will be on-hand to help spray participants.

WHO IS HELPING This year, we estimate more than 1,000 participants with a goal of 1,500 participants.

More than 300 volunteers help make this race possible. Our 5K sponsor is Pine Tree Mechanical, and our 1K sponsors are Akins Co. and Sam Aguiar Injury Lawyers.

THE IMPACT IT MAKES Splash ‘n’ Dash is one of the most fun family events the Children’s Hospital Foundation hosts. It offers families an opportunity to make some great memories, all while supporting the patients of Norton Children’s Hospital and honoring the memory of former patient, Max Gilpin.

In three years, we have raised $80,000 benefiting nearly every department and service

Five Positive Habits to Add This Summer

By Jess Malloy

M

aking life-long changes doesn’t have to feel like flipping your entire life upside down. Introducing new positive habits can have the effect of eliminating negative ones without much effort. By making room for the good, there is simply less room for the bad. With cooling rains and extra doses of sun, summer is one of the best times to pick up new healthy habits that can last. Since these tips might not be one size fits all, feel free to take these ideas and work with them until they feel tailor-made for you.

RE-ESTABLISH AN EVENING ROUTINE. Use your awake time as a way to unwind and prepare for the next day. Try turning off the TV or getting off of your phone an hour earlier than usual and bust out a game of Jenga with the family. Get out a coloring book for grown ups and feed your creativity. Make getting ready for bed a ritual that gives you the opportunity to relax instead of treating it like a chore. Try lighting a candle, putting on soothing music or wearing a face mask while you brush your teeth. Use your new evening ritual as a way to make your mornings easier by laying out clothes, prepping breakfast or lunch and setting essential items by the door.

TRY A NEW FITNESS CLASS. Fitness centers and studios love offering summer deals. Get a friend to sign up with you for a trial and then meet up together right after work. Break a sweat and then 10

enjoy getting home before dark. Or, venture off on your own so you can finally take that dance class you’ve been secretly dying to try.

TAKE A MIDDAY BREAK. Think about how you reboot. Step away from your desk and take a walk. You can even bring your headphones to listen to your favorite tunes, catch up on a podcast or call someone you’ve been missing. There’s also the option to leave the phone behind altogether and find somewhere quiet to sit, even if it’s in your car. You can read a book or rest your eyes. Think about taking deep, rhythmic breaths.

ADD FRESH, SEASONAL FOODS TO YOUR DIET. A healthy diet is all about eating foods that are wholesome, nourishing and tasty.

Make a visit to one of Louisville’s farmers markets on the weekend and see what you can pick up. Bring home local honey for your morning tea, fresh baked bread or locally grown veggies for a stir fry.

BUY YOURSELF GIFTS. Treating yourself doesn’t have to cost a small fortune. Go out to your favorite coffee shop, buy a bouquet of flowers for your bedroom, go back for that cute shirt at the boutique, download an audiobook or get that double scoop of ice cream or the blackberries from the grocery. It’s not about how much you spend, it’s about how much value it adds to your week. VT 0 7 . 0 5 . 2 0 1 8 V O I C E -T R I B U N E . C O M

At Home with… David Fenley HOMES

A few of David Fenley’s favorite things

By Janice Carter Levitch Photos by Andrea Hutchinson

T

he architecture of certain homes can hold us spellbound at times with gracious silhouettes and striking entryways. At first approach, the entryway to David Fenley’s home may present itself as imposing, but you soon discover it’s brimming with a Southern charm that could melt away the slightest inclination of anything but hospitable. Step inside this historic home and you are immediately transported to the pages of “The Great Gatsby.” It’s a property he long dreamed about owning ever since he was a youngster in high school.

“I still pinch myself that I actually live here,” Fenley says.

Every house has a few items that make it

a true home to its owner. Fenley’s house is just that: a place that shows his panoply of soulfulness.

1. STAINED GLASS ART “The stained glass is taken from a picture I took of my dogs,” Fenley says. “Thistle is a yorkie and Lucky is a mixed breed rescue. A friend saw the picture and took it to a person who makes stained glass art and had it made for me.”

2. COUNTRY BOY ROOM The room was a screened-in porch until Fenley had it converted into an enclosed room. “I’m half country boy and half city, so 0 7 . 0 5 . 2 0 1 8 V O I C E -T R I B U N E . C O M

LIFE

this is the country room. (My) family history is all about farming. My grandfather invented eggnog and the drumstick ice cream. Fenley Model Dairy started in the 1870s and was first to put milk in cartons from bottles. On the walls are the Fenley Model Dairy vintage calendars, and it’s all about the land.”

3. BEEHIVES “The bees go with the wildflowers as a part of the ecology to take care the property,” explains Fenley. “I have two hives now and will probably add two more next year. They are situated near the wildflowers so they can continue to help produce new flowers.”

4. TULIP POPLAR TREE The tulip poplar also will help attract the bees. “I feel as though I’m the steward of the trees,” admits Fenley. “I work with an arborist and have plans for each of them on the property as far as the nutrients and a hydration system goes. There are about five ash trees and other varietals that we watch over. I’ve planted a lot of new trees and that’s what makes a big part of this house and property a home to me – it’s the trees.”

5. FIELD OF WILDFLOWERS “It’s all about farming the land; that’s why it’s in me with the wildflowers. It’s a mix of perennials that’ll be early blooming to late fall. Rather than just one that the bees would pollinate, it offers a variety. The poppies are blooming now, and then the Black-Eyed Susans you see more in the summertime followed by the sunflowers, too.” VT

I still pinch myself that I actually live here.

he creative, whimsical artwork of Mary Alice Hadley inspires an unusual loyalty. Whether you’ve seen it locally, remember it from someone’s kitchen growing up or own a piece (or five) yourself, chances are you recognize the trademark blue-and-white design. But after four generations of tradition, the company came close to closing its doors – until new owner Jerry Day stepped in.

“There was a chance it was going to close, and I didn’t want that,” Day explains. “It’s always been a Louisville business. (It’s) been in the same building the whole time. Since my family had been there from the beginning, I didn’t want to be there when it closed. The only true Hadley Pottery has always been right there on Story Avenue, and we bought it back and made it local again.”

From the start, Hadley Pottery has been a family business. “When Ms. Hadley started her own pottery company,” Day says, “she was the artistic side, and she took my grandfather (on) to be the mold maker. She did the designs and she painted on the walls and doors of the building. She was known for her other artwork as much as the pottery.

“I’ve worked at Hadley Pottery my whole life,” Day continues. “My grandfather started it with Ms. Hadley in 1940. My dad took over for him, and I took over for my dad.”

Day’s son, Josh Day, is currently also working at the company as well and intends to keep it in the family.

Hadley Pottery’s traditionally blue-andwhite designs have captured the imaginations of generations of people. “Blue and white are two of the primary colors,” Day says, “but we also have green and something we call rust, which comes out pink. We have touches of yellow and black and then the glaze is white to complete it.

“I think the unique part is all of her designs – her whimsical scenes,” Day explains.

“Our farm set is probably our most popular.

It’s got a farmer and his wife, a house and barn and all the farm animals. There’s around 16 scenes.” However, collectors are in luck.

“We don’t stock them all, but we can paint any of them,” Day explains. “If you had a pitcher or a piece from 50 years ago and you’re missing part of the collection, we can still redo that for you.” He and his son are happy to make sure that no family has to search endlessly to replace a few broken or lost items from a beloved set.

While some Hadley Pottery items come in sets, others are completely one-of-a-kind. “We do a lot of personalized pieces for birthdays and weddings,” Day says. “People get wedding plates, anniversary plates and baby sets when children are born. You can get it all personalized with your name or their name on it.”

Customers love the hand-painted aspect of Hadley Pottery. “People will bring a picture of their house when they’re moving in or moving out, and we’ll paint it for them,” Day asserts.

“Personalized and more special pieces are a lot of our business.

“It’s not like we buy a stamp,” Day continues. “Each piece takes just as long as the piece before it. They do it freehand, and there’s a lot of labor involved. Usually, a piece goes through 13 or 14 sets of hands before it’s finished.”

Of course, the pieces last a long time.

“We’ve uncovered a lot of old pottery that had been stored away,” Day says. “It’s historic, and a lot of it is original with (Ms. Hadley’s) signature. People love that.”

For Day, his family and fans of Mary Alice Hadley’s original art, the tradition lives on.

“It means a lot to be here in Louisville,” Day says. “To me, it’s the only thing I know.

I’ve spent more time in that building with the pottery – 44 years now – than anywhere else. It’s like walking into the front door of my house.” That familiar feeling is one that a number of Louisvillians share. “I’m the third generation to work here, and my son is the fourth. But there are a lot of families who have worked here, not just mine,” Day says.

“People will also send letters or call saying that they’re third-generation and fourth-generation buyers of Hadley Pottery.”

After generations of support, the company is finally back in Louisville with doors wide open. And both Day and his family hope to keep it that way. “...The people who have worked here are family, (and) people who buy the pottery are like family, too,” Day explains.

“We don’t plan on it ever being sold again.

We have all intentions of keeping it open and keeping it in our family. It’s been home my whole life.” VT

It will be our largest taqueria yet at 2,300 square feet. We’re going to be walkable from the Bourbon District, the Yum! Center and, of course, the new renovated convention center that is set to open soon. There’s so much great momentum.”

The group is still working on an expansion of its original location at 938 Baxter Ave. and the opening of a new El Taco Luchador at Stonybrook Village Center at 9204 Taylorsville Road in Jeffersontown.

COPPER & KINGS AMERICAN BRANDY CO. LAUNCHES AMERICAN BRANDY COOKBOOK

L

ouisville-based Copper & Kings American Brandy Co. announces its latest innovation – a full cookbook detailing 20 coursed recipes prepared with American Brandy and an additional three superlative brandy pairings with country ham, cheese and artisanal chocolate. For more information, visit shop. copperandkings.com/products/take-me-to-the-rivercookbook.

The book illustrates the use of Copper & Kings’ aged American brandies – American Craft Brandy, Floodwall Apple Brandy and Butchertown Reserve Casks Brandy – in recipes ranging from amuses, soups and salads through appetizers and entrées. All dishes were developed and prepared by executive chef Dallas McGarity.

“Brandy has been used as an ingredient in fine cooking for centuries,” says Copper & Kings founder Joe Heron. “We want to showcase a modern American interpretation of imaginative cuisine prepared with our brandy. Adventurous, fresh, surprising. A showcase of versatility alongside creativity. We are also excited to see a deeper crossover between the culinary and the spirits worlds in terms of delicious libations – the combined talents of a great chef and an excellent bartender can be dynamic and inventive – and through that an elevated guest experience.”

“We have spent a lot of time illustrating American brandy’s role within the cocktail canon, and we have a close relationship with the bartending community. We wanted to open up that dialogue to chefs,” says Copper & Kings creative director Ron Jasin. “Chefs have tremendous palates by definition, and for the adventurous chef, they see the opportunities for the interesting layering of novel flavors, richness and aroma. From a creative side, it is exciting to see the chef’s art up close and intimate to understand the build and the thought process and to try to capture that in a fun, usable format.”

“We wanted to provide recipes that would excite chefs but would not intimidate the home enthusiast with overbearing complexity. This is just great food.

We want you to feel hungry most of all,” added chef McGarity.

All pairings were coordinated by renowned food and spirits writer, Steve Coomes. “I love my job,” said Coomes. “This was a lovely adventure – moving outside of the fantastic, coursed recipes and drilling it down to the simpler pleasures of pairing American brandy with American country ham and artisanal cheeses and chocolates. One could live on this diet.

The pairing process is always quite individual and personal; the joy is in the exploration – and the joining of the mutual expressiveness of the spirits with the artisanal foodstuffs is extraordinary. And what a highlight to work with the outstanding chocolatier – Erika Chavez-Graziano.”

“I

f you could go to any one city in the world, where would you go?” my soon-to-be husband asked. I quickly flipped through one of my art history books and informed him: “Amsterdam.” The Netherlands turned out to be a great place to honeymoon. We were in our own little bubble together with the outside world full of calm, healthy, movie-set-beautiful inhabitants whizzing by on their bicycles and speaking their incomprehensible languages.

It was just us and some of the best paintings humans had ever made. I never expected that 15 years later I’d be back, only this time I was there to intentionally make connections with other people in the art world.

In January of this year, my talented artist friend Sabra Crockett stood in my studio and told me about the Great Meadows grant she received to attend Salon, a decorative painting conference in Leeuwarden in the Spring. “It’s made up of some of the best painters in the world – painters from London and Versailles, painters who work for the Vatican, painters trained by the masters, this guy,” she said, pointing to my copy of “The Art of Faux”

by Pierre Finkelstein, widely accepted as the sourcebook for learning decorative painting.

Well, now I had to go with her.

We flew together to Amsterdam, where we stayed for a couple of days recovering from jetlag and touring museums. We then took a train to Leeuwarden, the 2018 European

cultural capital, where we stayed in a charming Airbnb run by a very young, helpful host named Wilke. His apartment had a ladder in the center that led out to a little roof patio from which you could see a great deal of this charming city.

THE CONFERENCES Salon is a non-profit organization that got its start in 1992 when a group of professional decorative painters in Brussels decided to establish a global structure for keeping the traditions of decorative painting alive and well. Once a year, for 23 years, a growing number of artists, teachers, craftspeople, professional painters and art preservationists convene to share their incredible wealth of knowledge with one another and with the general public.

Each year the conference is held in a different country, returning to the U.S. approximately every third year. It consists of opening and closing celebrations, demonstrations, lectures and an exhibition of new work made for that year’s theme.

It also features each of the participating artists working over the course of four days on pieces specifically designed to demonstrate some aspect of their experience as painters.

Imagine having access to the best in your craft, in the world, all in one room, doing what they do right there in front of you. You can walk right up and watch them – masters at 0 7 . 0 5 . 2 0 1 8 V O I C E -T R I B U N E . C O M

work – and see what tools they use, how they hold them, the brand of paint and the cup for their medium. You can ask them anything you want. They are there because they believe that sharing what they know not only makes them better at what they do, but because when they’re gone, someone needs to know how to patch the marble on the columns at the Vatican or the ancient processes for egg tempera.

I remember when I first started learning scenic art – the application of decorative painting for the purpose of theater or film – I felt as if I’d finally landed on my home planet and found my people. I definitely felt that again with this group. Humble, welcoming and supportive, these artists make you feel like you belong. As Dru Blair, one of the participating members put it, “If I can do this, anyone can.”

I’m pretty sure that’s not true – he’s amazing – but that spirit is pervasive.

This was Sabra’s third year in attendance at Salon and her second year participating. In order to join this group, you need to be invited by a member and pass the application process 0 7 . 0 5 . 2 0 1 8 V O I C E -T R I B U N E . C O M

and it’s recommended that one first attends as a guest before attempting to join in. I was there in Leeuwarden as Sabra’s guest but was welcomed by the group as if I had always been part of their community.

In contrast to Salon, TRAC2018 or The Representational Art Conference, was much headier. It was a gathering of more than just artists and educators; there were also philosophers, psychologists, cognitive scientists, critics, museum and gallery professionals and art historians. There were lectures and panel discussions pertaining to myriad aspects of representational art. Perhaps the most interesting of the speakers was the infamous Odd Nerdrum, the eccentric Norwegian self-proclaimed “kitsch” painter and renowned teacher with a cult-like following. He wore his typical

Renaissance-style artist tunic, as did his wife and son, who joined him as a sort of entourage.

In his lecture on the evils of Kant and the philosophical “invention” of modern art, he equated the modern-day contemporary art establishment with Nazis – I kid you not.

At one point during the panel discussion on establishing worldwide standards for art education, one of the panelists asked for Odd’s opinion, and we all turned around to find him in the back row flossing his teeth. I should point out that Nerdrum’s paintings are ethereal in a way that seems from another time and his lecture was both thought-provoking and a conversation starter, to say the least.

GETTING AROUND

The Schiphol Airport in Amsterdam is recognized as having such effective signage, including its use of color, placement and pictograms, that it’s referred to as “The Schiphol Standard.” I found that signage all over the Netherlands was clear and easily understandable regardless of your native language, particularly with respect to transportation. The train stations there felt low-stress, in part due to the ease with which you could buy a ticket and find your train. There is a shift in materials and color in the roadways indicating where pedestrians should be versus bicyclists. They use what’s known as a “Dutch junction,” which provides a safer way for bicyclists to turn across motorized traffic. The Dutch have the safest bicyclists in the world, and yet the use of bike helmets is almost non-existent. Traveling in the Netherlands, you get the sense that the Dutch are more civilized, maybe even more evolved.

Then, of course, there are the canals. Less of a means of daily transportation and more of a means of sightseeing, the canals in Amsterdam add not only charm to this Venice of the north, but they make the trees and buildings sparkle with the twinkling of reflected uplighting.

The Salon group took a tour via the canals in Leeuwarden and got a leisurely history lesson from one of the many retired citizens who now volunteer as ambassadors for the city.

ACCESS TO ARTWORK Along with the conferences and socializing with the artists, Sabra and I also visited a number of museums including the Fries Museum and its exhibit of Leeuwarden native, M.C. Escher; the Rijksmuseum, home to Dutch masters like Rembrandt, Vermeer, van Gogh, etc.; the contemporary museums Stedelijk and Groninger; and Amsterdam’s permanent Body Worlds exhibit, “The Happiness Project,” which contains anatomical specimens of real human bodies judiciously deconstructed using the Austrian method of plastination.

For painters, visiting art in person is a must.

Of course, you can see a lot of this art in a book or online, but you can’t see how thick Rembrandt’s highlight was until you’re standing in front of the painting.

THE ART OF DUTCH EATING Given that they’re known for things like patatje oorlog, a Dutch favorite made of French fries (chips) with mayonnaise, onions, peanut sauce and curried ketchup, I was a little surprised that most of the food I was served in the Netherlands was quite healthy. The salads were interesting without being sweet.

The wheat bread was some of the best I’ve had anywhere. Apparently, asparagus was in season while we were there – it seemed to always be on the menu – and not just the green, big-as-myfinger kind either. They have a white variety that’s larger and milder than the green and is considered a delicacy. At the closing Salon dinner, we had a dish of raw herring that was grayish in color and strange looking (one of the artists said it looked like “chicken brains”) but was excellent in flavor and texture.

served a lot of meat dishes during the formal Salon dinners, but they were accompanied by fresh vegetables, fantastic Dutch cheeses and, of course, plenty of wine.

The food in the Netherlands was delightful, but it was almost secondary to the socializing we did during our meals, including dinner with one of the founders of Salon, Jan Berghuis. We dined in a converted prison, where we talked about art, music and how adorable the Netherlands is.

The variety of restaurants, especially in Amsterdam, was at least as extensive as anywhere I’ve been in the U.S. On our last night in the Netherlands, we met up with some friends of Cynthia Norton, an artist here in Louisville who performs under the name “Ninny.” Tom Ritchford, an electronic musician and computer programmer/software engineer originally from London; his wife, contemporary painter Rachel Eckstein Ritchford; and their friend, Jon Giles, a video artist visiting them from New York City, had dinner with us at an Indonesian restaurant just a few blocks from our home base in the city center. Indonesia was a Dutch colony for almost 150 years and they still have a large presence in the Netherlands today. A Google search for Indonesian restaurants in Amsterdam turns up 77 results. We ate at one called Aneka Rasa, where we ordered the Vegetarian Rice Table consisting of 14 dishes each better than the next.

After dinner, we walked to a bar called Café t Genootschap der Geneugten or “The Fellowship of Pleasure Café” and ordered a Hopus, a Belgian beer known for the sediment, that our hosts ritualistically poured into shot glasses and drank separately. We also ordered a flight of flavored jenevers, a Dutch gin dating back as far as the 16th century. When served with beer, the combination is called a “kopstoot” or “headbutt.” Served in tulip glasses, these colorful liquors were not my cup of tea except 0 7 . 0 5 . 2 0 1 8 V O I C E -T R I B U N E .

for the liquorice one, which luckily, no one else cared for. In general, however, liquorice is very popular in the Netherlands with the Dutch consuming more liquorice per capita than anywhere else in the world, according to stuffdutchpeoplelike.com. Their version of the candy, called “drop,” is generally saltier than ours and can be bought almost anywhere.

That last night, as Sabra and I walked home, I realized I had just made somewhere in the neighborhood of 30 new friends. I was struck once again by the sense of community I felt with the artists I had met from all over the world and the feeling of belonging, not just with a global arts community but in the Netherlands in general. The weather was perfect from the time we arrived in Leeuwarden until our last morning in Amsterdam. Several locals pointed out to us that it’s usually much colder and rainier than it was during our time there and that our trip appeared to be charmed. I admit I felt a bit as though I was being wooed and could imagine myself living out my days in the most charming country I’ve ever been to. As the Dutch would say when they find something they love, “It koe minder.” VT

THE GRANT THAT GOT ME THERE As their website states, “Great Meadows Foundation is a grant giving foundation launched in 2016 by contemporary art collector and philanthropist Al Shands. Named for the home that Al and his late wife Mary created, the mission of Great Meadows Foundation is to critically strengthen and support visual art in Kentucky by empowering our community’s artists and other visual arts professionals to research, connect and participate more actively in the broader contemporary art world.”

Sabra and I both took this trip with the help of Great Meadows’ artist professional development grants, which seek to “develop artists’ awareness of and participation in the national and international art world in order to strengthen the level of discourse and practice among artists in the state.”

Falling in Love in the City of Lights Story and photos by Randy Whetstone Jr.

aris has long been known as the City of Lights as well as the City of Love.

In May, I had the chance to take it all in myself on a European excursion. From seeing the Eiffel Tower sparkle at night to falling in love with French baguettes, I can truly say Paris was an experience like no other.

The first stop was a tour of Notre-Dame located in the fourth arrondissement of Paris.

The cathedral is one of the largest and most recognizable Catholic Churches in France.

After, I went on a River Seine cruise coupled with a visit to the Eiffel Tower. A trip to Paris just wouldn’t be complete without a taking a few selfies with arguably one of the most famous structures in the world as your background, right?

The river cruise and vantage point from the second level of the tower was a wonderful place to see the eye-popping and jaw-dropping beauties of the city. I’ve been in world-famous towers before, including

the tallest building in the world – the Burj Khalifa in Dubai. However, the breathtaking view from the Eiffel Tower is in a class all by itself.

Day one of the trip ended with a performance at the famous Moulin Rouge. The show included dancing, singing and acrobatics that give a fresh perspective to entertainment. It’s definitely a must-see if you ever visit the city.

Throughout this French experience, I learned so much about the country’s history and culture through the Hop On Hop Off bus that stops at all of the major tourist attractions in Paris. One included The Louvre, the world’s largest art museum and home of Leonardo da Vinci’s Mona Lisa.

Not far from the Louvre was the Champs-Élysées. If you’re an avid shopper, this is the place to be. Described as the world’s most beautiful avenue, you can find pedestrians and tourists crowding the sidewalks to reach their favorite stores.

I had but one mission: finding the Louis Vuitton store. I would be remiss if I was in the country of one of the world’s most beloved fashion designers and not stop by the store he founded. Similar to the Eiffel Tower, the Louis Vuitton store also has eye-popping views, like price tags that will make you want to hide your wallet.

The trip was capped off with a day spent in London, UK via the Eurostar train.

While there, I had the chance to see the Tower of London, the Shard, the London Eye and the London Bridge. I also took a River Thames cruise to see Westminster Abbey and Big Ben. The iconic clock was under construction at the time, however. It will soon be renamed Elizabeth Tower in honor of the Queen.

The day in London was pretty remarkable. I was there one week before the Royal Wedding of the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, Prince Harry and Princess Meghan, and I can say I relished in the excitement.

My trips to Paris and London were filled with moments I will remember for the rest of my life. I truly fell in love with these cities during my time there and am incredibly grateful for the experience. VT 0 7 . 0 5 . 2 0 1 8 V O I C E -T R I B U N E . C O M

International Admiration A family vacation through Vietnam Story and photos

t was 94 degrees with 88 percent humidity and scattered showers in the forecast. We’d been walking for three hours over rocky hills and still had several miles to go. I have never seen my boys happier.

My family functions best when breathing unfamiliar air. Vietnam is 11 hours ahead of Eastern time and about 20 hours flight time from the central United States. The cultures of the Indochina Peninsula are metaphorically that far removed from American culture.

We did not have lofty goals for this trip. We wanted to disconnect from our daily stress, reconnect with each other and open our boys’ hearts and minds to the human experience of another culture. In this moment – with tiered rice paddies to our left and right, bamboo forests rising above and a generous Hmong woman leading our crew through the trails – it felt like we had more than exceeded those expectations.

International travel with children is not an inevitable disaster, but it does take some meticulous preparation, a willingness to slow down and flexibility. I put my family of four into three carry-on packs for this two-week adventure, making us a nimble crew. My husband and I recognized that this wouldn’t be the trip to take a shot spiked with snake venom (which is a real thing). But we could embrace the chaos in Hanoi, the country’s capital, and still find peace in the hills of Tavan.

Life doesn’t stop when you have children; it expands.

Watching my 2-year-old light up over herds of water buffalo and the chance to ride an overnight train was a gift.

Witnessing my teenager’s ability to share himself through impromptu language exchange and listening to his evolving understanding of foreign economies and human connection was inspiring. This is what it’s all about. Through the eyes of our children we cultivated a deeper love for our global community, and in that unfamiliar air our children learned that we are all far more alike than we are different. VT

hether your schedule or your wallet is holding you back from traveling this summer, consider embracing the staycation concept.

Gotolouisville.com/myexperience is a great resource for 24-, 48- and 72-hour itineraries filled with things to do and see right in our own backyard. You can also peruse the website for reminders of what makes Louisville such an incredible place to live and play.

Use your social media accounts to ask friends and followers for recommendations.

And, keep your eyes open for referrals. For example, WAVE 3 News Chief Photographer Doug Druschke – one of my pals – recently posted about his first visit to Ollie’s Trolley (978 S. Third St.) after living in Louisville for nearly two decades, which prompted a conversation about other Possibility City institutions

locals should consider supporting and enjoying.

Want to give back to the community while exploring? Think of it as a mission trip that doesn’t require travel. Give Metro United Way a call (502.583.2821) or find volunteer opportunities at MetroUnitedWay.org.

Immerse yourself – and your fellow staycationers – in the arts. Go see a free production

by Kentucky Shakespeare (kyshakespeare. com) or one of the various concerts happening around town. While you’re at it, put KMAC, the Ali Center and the Speed Art Museum on your must-visit list.

Lastly, Cincinnati, Indianapolis and Nashville are all easy trips that don’t take a lot of travel time. Each city has its own culture and vibe that are worth experiencing.

Whatever you do, take the time to get out and explore. VT

A CrossCountry Tour What to do in NOLA, San Fran, D.C. and the Ville Story and photos by JD Dotson

here are few things I like more than traveling. I am the quintessential tourist (minus the Hawaiian shirt and socks with sandals) with a giant camera around my neck, and I want nothing more than to explore. Summers are meant for sightseeing, whether by plane, via car or in our own backyard. Some of my favorite tourist destinations across the country are places where I have friends with a couch or a spare room.

This provides a less expensive trip along with the added benefit of hanging like a local while mixing in the touristy bits.

Since the first time I set foot in New Orleans as a college student, the city captured my heart. Going on a nearly 30-year love affair, I never have a lack of something new to see and do in the Big Easy. Senses are in overload in the French Quarter with music coming at me from every direction – the street vendors, buskers, the crowds adding to the din. The French- and Spanish-influenced architecture immediately sends me back in time. The smells of the streets, the spicy food, buckets of alcohol and the sometimes unpleasant smells that accompany summer days in the French Quarter mingle in the air. The heat can be oppressive, but wait 10 minutes and a summer rain will fall just long enough to cool things off and make the streets steamy.

It’s hard to quantify the draw of the city for me; it’s a combination of factors. I love the diversity of the neighborhoods from the Garden District through the quarter to the Marigny and Bywater. The people of New Orleans are colorful and creative. They love their town for good reason and it shows, whether they are a native or a transplant. There are foods I typically don’t eat at home. Only in New Orleans do chargrilled oysters and crawfish make their way onto my plate, and I will take my coffee with chicory any day.

My advice for visiting is this: Start your day out at the French Market with an organic banana daiquiri. You will be tempted by all the swirling boozy slushie machines in the Quarter, but nothing will compare to the boozy organic fruit smoothies of this place.

Second, pace yourself. The bars close in the wee hours, just long enough for the owners to hose everything down before reopening. On that note, get your drinks in a to-go cup since you can walk in and out of most bars with drinks in hand. The third tip: Be a tourist!

This town is the best for doing touristy stuff – graveyard or swamp tours, French Quarter haunted tours, Garden District mansion tours.

Do it all, then spend some time away from the fray and find some local restaurants, dives and outdoor sights to check out. One of my favorite places to explore is Crescent Park – the quiet riverfront park with a view of New Orleans is a sharp contrast to the bustle. Also, the city is chock full of street art – some sanctioned, some rogue – so keep your eyes peeled for it.

Washington D.C. is another perfect town to get your tourist game going. The 17 Smithsonian Museums and the zoo all have free admission year-round with changing exhibitions, and they’re located in close proximity to each other. D.C.’s public transportation is easy to navigate and safe, and the addition of the City Bikes makes getting around a breeze.

My number one bit of advice is to inquire early about admission to a couple of the more popular museums. The brand new National Museum of African American History and Culture and the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum are two of the must-see sights and both are difficult to get tickets to.

The other must-see, in my opinion, is the National Portrait Gallery for the hall of presidential portraits and some rotating exhibits.

Outside of taking full advantage of the nearly 140 million objects, artworks and specimens for free, my favorite must-visit neighborhood of Capitol Hill is home to the Eastern Market. This spot is an indoor market and café with every type of food and drink imaginable.

In addition, it’s surrounded daily by vendors selling all manner of handmade arts and crafts and flea market finds. All that bargain hunting and sightseeing works up quite an appetite and we always end an Eastern Market morning with brunch at Le Pain Quotidien. I can’t resist a good French bakery and feel like all the steps 0 7 . 0 5 . 2 0 1 8 V O I C E -T R I B U N E . C O M

accumulated walking this vast city should be rewarded with a Pain au chocolat (or two).

Another of my favorite cities to explore, and one with public art every few feet, is San Francisco. The weather can be wonderfully mild in the summer, which makes for enjoyable exploring. Golden Gate Bridge, Alcatraz, Lombard Street, Fisherman’s Wharf and Pier 39 are all popular tourist sights.

The birthplace of the Summer of Love in Haight Ashbury and the epicenter of the gay rights movement in the Castro make these neighborhoods popular destinations and worthy of exploration. San Francisco is a city built into hills, which offers multiple opportunities for spectacular views from the top of Bernal Heights neighborhood, Dolores Park and Buena Vista Park. The city is home to more than 220 parks with the largest and most popular one being Golden Gate Park.

I start my days at a new favorite coffee shop, Blue Bottle, with a cup of their iced NOLA cold brew. The chicory flavor in the bold coffee reminds me of another favorite town.

I’ve spent a good long time and taken a great run while exploring Golden Gate Park from one end to the ocean. The park reminds me of a choose-your-own-adventure book – paths and roadways leading in different directions, adventures and sights ever-changing depending on whether I take the left path, or the right one or the road less traveled. Working my way through multiple scenarios eventually leads to the beach, and that’s a good place to end. After all of the hiking and running around the hills, I treat myself to a spa day in Japantown. Kabuki is a traditional Japanese communal bath with hot pool, cold plunge and wet and dry saunas. Definitely relaxed and restored, Kabuki is a perfect, quiet ending to my busy explorer schedule.

My wanderlust is usually kicked into high gear at any given moment, but some days it’s just too hard to get away. A couple of places in my own hometown offer a mini staycation and luckily transport me away, even for a brief period. The Parklands at Floyds Fork 0 7 . 0 5 . 2 0 1 8 V O I C E -T R I B U N E . C O M

is a rich, diverse network of trails and paths, parks, waterways, woodlands and fields. I see something new every time I visit, branching off into different directions and getting away from the city for the peaceful quiet of nature.

The park is nearly 4,000 acres of land and 60 miles of paths just outside of downtown Louisville. It’s begging to be explored, and I am more than happy to oblige. Post-hike and exploration, a trip south of the border is in order. El Mundo’s back patio on a summer day is such an excellent spot. The authentic and delicious menu fits perfectly with the vibe of the place and both are always spot on.

El Mundo takes me out of town in my mind; I know there is a busy Louisville avenue just beyond the wall, but I am too in love with this bison-stuffed chile relleno in front of me to care.

Whether you’re jetting or road tripping or just out of for the day, get that camera out and be a tourist. Stay hydrated and revel in all that this crazy world has to offer.

f you travel much with your children or even grandchildren, you’ve likely heard the adage that getting away with your kids is just a trip and getting away with just adults is actually a vacation. As a mom of two boys, I have been on many a “trip,” and to be fully transparent, some trips have gone better than others.

So, as you load up and head out this summer, I have a few tips that have helped my family to upgrade our trips to at the very least “semi-vacations.”

Allison Taylor loves to write and travel. She often wears her family out by over-researching just about anything that they are going to do. Allison has two boys ages 7 and 9 whose antics keep her very busy, and being married to a firefighter adds a whole other element to the chaos. You can check out her travel blog, Family Vacations U.S., at familyvacationsus.com.

TIP #1: LET THE KIDS HELP PLAN. While the destination may already be set, involving the kids in the specifics of your exploration can help everyone take an interest in the vacation as well as build excitement in the days leading up to your adventure.

TIP #2: FIND THE LOCAL PLAYGROUND. I know, I know, you’ve traveled hundreds or maybe even thousands of miles and I’m suggesting a playground? If your little ones are anything like mine, they are awake before many of the attractions have even thought about opening. Google Maps has been my best friend on vacations and as a result, we have found some pretty amazing playgrounds. There is one in Huntsville, Alabama that my kids are still talking about two years later.

TIP #3: INEXPENSIVE TOYS ARE A MUST. Before we head out on a long road trip, I stop at the Dollar Store or the dollar spot at Target and load up on coloring books and small toys that my kids have never seen before. I’ve been known to divide them up into packages that they can open at certain points along the way. This way, the kids don’t tear through their new treasures too quickly.

TIP #4: AVOID AN OVERLOAD. A mistake I’ve made as a parent far too many times is packing every moment with fun and excitement, leaving no room for breaks. This is a sure fire way to bring on meltdowns from both parents and kids. When there is no time left for a breather or to watch a favorite show, the activities everyone was excited to help plan suddenly aren’t even appealing because everyone is too exhausted to enjoy it.

TIP #5: LET THE KIDS HELP YOU DOCUMENT THE TRIP. Some of my favorite photos from our journeys have been taken by my children. I’m always amazed at some of the shots they’ve captured, and it’s fun to see the vacation from their perspective. Give them a camera and see what you end up with.

A family vacation can create some of the most wonderful memories you and your family will ever share.

Even, some of the disastrous vacations I’ve taken have created many memories that my family can look back on and laugh about all these years later. No matter the destination, the memories with your family that you make along the way will be some of your most treasured souvenirs. VT 0 7 . 0 5 . 2 0 1 8 V O I C E -T R I B U N E . C O M

More Than Point and Shoot Tips for Taking Memorable Photos While Traveling

By Baylee Pendleton Photos by Andrea Hutchinson

S

ummer is in full swing, and it’s most people’s favorite time of year to travel.

To learn how to capture those special moments away from home and enjoy them for years to come, we sat down with talented photographer Andrea Hutchinson, who also is a new addition to The Voice-Tribune’s staff.

1. TIMING IS EVERYTHING Time of day is key to getting a good shot, she explains. “The best lighting for pictures is early in the morning or later in the evening.

These times of day also help you avoid mass tourist flows or crowds at attractions. A lot of people think they’re going to get that beautiful postcard shot, but when they get there, they’re surprised to find massive crowds wearing ponchos, inhibiting their shot.” Timing your photos for slower moments will help you avoid these less-than-picturesque settings.

2. FOCUS ON THE BIGGER PICTURE Taking a step back and observing the bigger components of your shot can serve to improve your end result. Hutchinson explains, “I like to turn my photo grid on.

It looks like a tic-tac-toe box and it helps me keep the ‘Rule of Thirds’ that most photographers swear by.” The idea here is that dividing your shot into thirds, both horizontally and vertically, improves the overall composition of the photograph. You can easily turn this on in your smartphone’s camera settings.

She also encourages travelers to think outside the box when you’re out-and-about.

“Try and get different vantage points,” she says. “If you can get 20 feet in the air using a nearby parking garage, then you can have a bird’s-eye view on life below you. Or, you set your camera down on the ground and get a worm’s-eye-view.”

Trying to catch that perfect sunset at the beach or capture the treeline on your hiking adventure? Tap your focus onto the sky so your exposure adjusts. Hutchinson says, “I like to shoot landscapes dark. In other words, I like to underexpose them. Most people, when they go to shoot a landscape or the horizon, the sky is blown out. Make sure you focus on the sky, tapping it to adjust your camera’s exposure, helping you get the most detail of the actual landscape.”

3. SELFIE ALTERNATIVES We’ve all been guilty of capturing the dreaded “selfie,” but Hutchinson explains that getting shots of yourself is still a crucial part of your travel experience. “It’s important that people exist in their travel pictures. A lot of times, people don’t want to take selfies.”

But she highlighted other ways you can be in your own photos. “Your shoe is the easiest tripod. Take it off and balance your phone in it. Sometimes I even carry an extra shoe in my bag instead of a tripod. And don’t be afraid to approach other people to take that portrait.

Just be picky with who you choose.”

4. BACK TO BASICS Sometimes we have to go back to the basics: “Realize that your phone is more interactive than just the shutter button. Before you approach a shot, wipe off your phone’s camera lens. Make sure you tap to focus on your subject and make sure your camera is straight. Often, I’ll think I have everything in focus and the exposure is perfect, but when I go back and look at it, the shot isn’t straight.

Keep in mind if you’re tilting your phone forward or backward. Lenses are concave pieces of glass, so if you tilt it back towards your face, it will make things appear taller and larger. When you tilt it forward, you diminish the size of your subject.”

5. APPS FOR EDITING “People are into moving pictures now, so I love to use an app called ‘8mm,’ which lets me take vintage-looking reels,” she says. “They give a more romantic feel to videos – it helps put the nostalgia back into your shots. I also use VSCO a lot for editing pictures. An app called ‘Slow Shutter Cam’ allows you to do long-term exposure shots.” Even if the apps aren’t free, Hutchinson says, they generally make up for their own cost in the value they add to your travel shots.

Partyline

Kentucky Proud

By Carla Sue Broecker

LES DAMES MEET AGAIN A little more than three years ago, Jamie Estes – a nationally known public relations guru for the food and restaurant industry – along with a number of other friends and colleagues set out to organize a local chapter of an organization called Les Dames d’Escoffier International.

The group is made up of women who have careers that focus on all aspects of food and hospitality. Their efforts were so successful in the Louisville region that the group has now expanded to become the Kentucky chapter for Les Dames, and it includes members representing the Kentucky spirits and distilling businesses.

For the most part, the group meets monthly for various occasions. The August meeting will be a dinner to celebrate the birthday of celebrated chef Julia Child. The December gathering will be to conduct a cookie bake sale in Louisville to help fund the organization’s scholarship program, which helps appropriate candidates in the study of culinary arts.

Earlier this week, the group gathered at Holly Hill Inn in Midway, Kentucky. It is the home and business of celebrated chef and restaurateur Ouita Michel and her farmer husband Chris. The meeting served as a mixer for members to introduce potential new members, exchange stories and enjoy the culinary delights of the inn.

Holly Hill Inn sits on spacious and well-treed farmland on the state road into Midway. The Antebellum estate sits back from the rural road in a bucolic setting.

The “dames” settled in on the spacious veranda and caught up on what was going on and with whom.

Some interesting conversations took place about the industry expanding its base as Kentucky becomes better known for its culinary stars, the beautiful countryside and the gracious hospitality that goes along with it. And of course, there is the lure of our fabulous bourbons, the distillery tours and the most sophisticated country cooking south of the Mason-Dixon Line.

The meeting was led by Judy Hollis, the current “head dame,” who was once a major executive for Wendy’s in Columbus, Ohio. If you run into her, ask her to tell you a story about

a snake and lettuce and prepare for a laugh. Some of the other members and potential members included Joyce Nethery, Marianne Eaves, Katie Payne, Stacy Duncan, Anne West Butler, Valerie Samutin and Susan Riegler.

KENTUCKY TO THE WORLD In 2014, a truly interesting local organization was launched. Called Kentucky to the World (KTW) and led by its president and founder Shelly Zegart, it has the simple and direct objective of enhancing Kentucky’s reputation along with its people and its assets.

Recently, Terri Bass, one of the organization’s board members, along with her husband Steve hosted a get together of some of their friends to spread the word and enhance KTW membership. Terri and Steve are always such genial hosts and literally weathered through their reception during one of the heaviest rainstorms in the last month.

Literature about the organization describes the mission in easy to understand terms. They seek to identify extraordinary work people are accomplishing here and around the world that is rooted in their Kentucky experience. Then, they produce audience events and videos about their lives and successes. KET is a KTW community partner and is involved in distributing these stories via its Republic Bank Foundation Speaker Series.

Upcoming on July 10 is a presentation called “Life of an Olympic Champion,” featuring Louisvillian and gold medalist for swimming Mary T. Meagher. Joining her on the Brown Theatre stage will be Kelsi Worrell Dahlia, Louisville’s newest Olympian, who also won gold in swimming. These two are 30 years apart in age but both won for the butterfly stroke. They will be interviewed by WHAS11’s Whitney Harding and will discuss how they feel about life when their perceived greatest accomplishments may be behind them. Tickets are available through the Kentucky Center Box Office at 502.584.7777. For more information, visit kentuckytotheworld.org Individuals highlighted in previous programs include Kentucky Nobel Laureate Philip Sharp, one of the world’s most honored scientists; Elizabeth Mayhew, a popular columnist and contributor to NBC’s Today Show; and Tracy Drain, flight systems engineer at NASA.

Foxhollow Farm.

I

t’s no secret that I have a passion for cooking, particularly with fresh ingredients that have been picked just moments before preparing them for an outstanding farm-fresh meal. Fresh picking is exactly what I experienced during a cooking class at Foxhollow Farm with owner and fourth-generation farmer Maggie Barrett Keith and her sidekick Lindsey McClave, a food and travel writer. They have begun producing their own television program, Farmer and Foodie, to be released on a local network soon (stay tuned for those details).

As an eager participant in this cooking class, I dressed in my most farm-friendly attire and walking shoes (OK, the shoes are Burberry, but they look good out in the field).

The farm is breathtakingly beautiful, and it always amazes me that we have access to this type of experience in our own backyard.

We were instructed to venture out onto the property to select the fresh vegetables we would prepare in the cooking class. One dish we made was squash blossoms (yes, some flowers are edible) stuffed with a mixture of ricotta and Parmigiano Reggiano cheeses.

After carefully filling each squash blossom, they were baptized in rice flour before being plunged into hot grapeseed oil, immediately sealing in the cheeses by perfectly crisping the outside. We also prepared fresh chard stuffed with the organic grass-fed beef that is raised on the property. Think of the Greek recipe using grape leaves (Dolmades), but this is the Kentucky version.

The only thing missing from this divine meal was a little Kentucky rye to tag along.

Which scoots us onto to the next local adventure – meeting the proprietors of Old Carter Whiskey Co. I’m still searching that family tree to find out if we are related.

Sitting down with Mark and Sherri Carter, the husband-and-wife team behind Old Carter Whiskey Co., was a real treat. Justins’ House of Bourbon was the perfect watering hole to meet with this wonderful couple and discuss their road to developing whiskey and their affinity for Kentucky.

“The label of our rye is actually original artwork that I created over 20 years ago and it became the first piece of artwork Mark purchased from me,” Sherri said.

“My family roots are in Somerset, Kentucky, and on the back of our label it is noted, ‘Born from the soul of Somerset,’” Mark commented. Their road to making whiskey has blossomed from a friendship into a romance that has since become a true partnership.

They have also developed Carter Cellars Wine, which is described as swoon-inducing by noted wine critics. Situated in Napa Valley, California, I can hear the vines calling my name for a West Coast adventure for a tasting. But for now, my roots are deeply planted in our beautiful community with the people who lend such brilliant support to keep it farm fresh. VT

MASONIC HOMES IS NOW MASONIC COMMUNITIES KENTUCKY

While 2017 was a year to celebrate the legacy and history of Masonic Homes with its 150th anniversary, the nonprofit is now solidly focused on the future. With more than $95 million in new residential buildings and amenities nearing completion, the organization has introduced a new name and fresh branding.

“Masonic Homes of Kentucky is now Masonic Communities Kentucky,” said CEO and President Gary Marsh. “We wanted our brand to reflect the progressive, modern organization that we are today and still honor the Masonic tradition that has served our residents so well for so long. We continue to grow and expand and lead the way in aging care services and communities.”

The ownership, operations and legacy of care will remain the same for Masonic Communities, yet the new name and logo better reflect how the organization has evolved from its start as a home for widows and orphans of the Civil War, to a true community of daily living and specialized services that is open to all, regardless of affiliation.

“Several months ago, we began an extensive undertaking to talk with many of our residents, our employees and our community partners to hear from them what Masonic Homes really means to them,” said Marsh. “One word that we kept hearing over and over is the word ‘community.’

It’s certainly fitting for us since communities bring people and resources together. We are stronger together than on our own.”

Communities and campuses in Louisville, Shelbyville and Northern Kentucky provide the opportunity for individuals and families across the state to take advantage of the organization’s extensive continuum of care so that residents have the benefit of not changing their address as their needs change with age.

Masonic Homes partnered with Louisville-based advertising and public relations agency Bandy Carroll Hellige (BCH) to develop the new brand.

A modern, warm new look was created to reflect an organization that is innovative, welcoming and dedicated to the health and well-being of the individuals and families it serves. The new Masonic Communities logo is of a tree made up of many leaves of various colors – the leaves symbolizing the organization’s many communities, from Sproutlings Pediatric Day Care & Preschool to Miralea Active Lifestyle Community coming together to form one unit.

The new brand launches during a landmark year for Masonic Communities as the nonprofit readies new communities and expands existing communities and services.

Seven individuals who have made outstanding contributions to sports during the past several decades have been selected as the 2018 class of the Kentucky Athletic Hall of Fame powered by the Kentucky Lottery (KAHOF).

SEVEN INDIVIDUALS SELECTED TO KENTUCKY ATHLETIC HALL OF FAME CLASS OF 2018

A selection committee comprised of 15 sports media members from throughout the Commonwealth selected this year’s class. All votes were independently tabulated by regional accounting firm Dean Dorton, one of the largest accounting and advisory firms in Kentucky, with offices in Louisville and Lexington.

The 2018 KAHOF class members and their families will be honored on August 22 at the Muhammad Ali Center in downtown Louisville. For ticket information or sponsorship opportunities, please contact Julie Howell at jhowell@louisvillesports.org or call 502.587.6742.

In 1966, Ball was drafted in the first round by the Colts and the second round by the Jets in the final year before the AFL and NFL merged. He played five years in the NFL with the Baltimore Colts, appeared in two Super Bowls and earned a Super Bowl ring with the Colts’ 16-13 win over the Dallas Cowboys in Super Bowl V. Ball was on the losing side in Super Bowl III when Joe Namath led the New York Jets’ historic, 16-7 upset of the Colts.

Ball was a four-year starter at Henderson County High School when the Fighting Colonels posted a 32-2-2 record.

Bob Baffert: An Arizona native raised on a ranch in Nogales, Bob Baffert became a fixture at the Kentucky Derby with winners Silver Charm (1997), Real Quiet (1998), War Emblem (2002), American Pharoah (2015) and Justify (2018). The first three of these won the Preakness and lost the Belmont; Baffert then successfully conditioned American Pharoah to the first Triple Crown win in 37 years, followed by Justify in 2018. Baffert’s Derby winners all trained at Churchill Downs during their respective Triple Crown campaigns, drawing national and international attention to the Commonwealth. Baffert is a three-time winner of the Kentucky Oaks; won Eclipse Awards as top trainer in 1997, 1998, 1999 and 2015; has the most Triple Crown wins with 14 and second-most Breeders Cup wins with 14.

Bob Beatty: A Missouri native, Bob Beatty has spent 40 years coaching football, including 19 as head coach at Louisville Trinity High School. He was named national high school coach of the year in 2018 after the Shamrocks captured their 13th state title under his direction. His overall record at Trinity currently is 224-35 (.87 win percentage) with multiple games annually against the top prep schools in Kentucky, Nashville, Cincinnati, Indianapolis, Dayton and Florida. Coming straight out of college, Beatty spent two seasons coaching in prep ranks before being named offensive coordinator at William Jewell College (1980-86) where the Cardinals won several conference titles and finished runner-up in the NAIA National Championship.

Bernie Bickerstaff: A native of Benham in Harlan County, Bernie Bickerstaff is a 33-year veteran of the NBA as head coach, assistant coach, front office executive and scout. He was starting point guard and honorable mention all-state for the all-black East Benham High School, then played college basketball at San Diego State.

Nicknamed “The Kentucky Kid,” he began riding professionally in the American Motorcycle Association circuit in 1999 and won his first championship race and AMA Rookie of the year honors. In 2002, Hayden became the youngest ever AMA Superbike Champion at age 21.

As the Louisville Convention & Visitors Bureau celebrates a 50-year milestone of marketing the city, the organization is also looking towards the future with a name change to Louisville Tourism.

LOUISVILLE CVB CELEBRATES NAME CHANGE DURING MILESTONE

The new name coincides with unprecedented tourism development and reflects the economic growth the hospitality industry generates for the city. An expanded downtown convention center, ongoing hotel development and renovations, a growing bourbon district and new attractions are meeting the demands of the more than 16.4 million visitors coming to Louisville.

On July 8, 1968, the current iteration of Louisville’s tourism marketing agency was formed as “commission” with a dedicated funding source by the Kentucky General Assembly. Though previous organizations and booster groups from as early as 1910 can be traced to promoting visitation to the city in various forms, the “Louisville and Jefferson County Convention and Visitors Bureau” legally began operation on this date under a seven-member board funded by a “hotel and motel room tax to promote convention and tourism business.”

Ken and Sarah Ramsey: Natives of Artemus in Eastern Kentucky, the husband and wife team of Ken (University of Kentucky graduate) and Sarah Ramsey are among the Commonwealth’s most prolific Thoroughbred owners and breeders of all time. They have captured 28 titles as the leading owner at Churchill Downs and 20 titles at Keeneland and have earned leading owner titles at Kentucky Downs, Turfway Park, Gulfstream Park and Saratoga. The Ramseys have won four Eclipse Awards as owners; two Eclipse Awards as breeders; four Breeders’ Cup World Championship races with Bobby’s Kitten (Turf Sprint, 2014), Furthest Land (Dirt Mile, 2009), Stephanie’s Kitten (Juvenile Fillies Turf, 2011) and Stephanie’s Kitten (Filly and Mark Turf, 2015) and the Dubai World Cup with Roses in May 2005. They own and operate Ramsey Farm in Nicholasville, Kentucky.

Said Louisville Tourism President & CEO Karen Williams, “Though the operating name of our organization has changed several times since 1968, our mission has not. We exist to grow Louisville’s economy through tourism in its many forms from conventions and meetings to group and leisure travel.”

Louisville Tourism offers several resources for the community to stay engaged and tools for hosting their own guests. In addition to a full-time Louisville Visitor Center open daily at Fourth and Jefferson Streets, Louisville Tourism is launching two new website features to enhance local tourism efforts. A new jobs portal will curate hospitality industry openings and career path information for the tourism professional. Another portal will offer complimentary speakers to groups on topics from hosting a family reunion to how to utilize visitor resources. Both are available at www.gotolouisville.com.
