EDITOR’S NOTE

Letter Editor

This week’s cover story was a special one that our editorial intern and University of Louisville senior Kelly Vetter brought to the table. We knocked it around for a moment and saw a beautiful piece take shape. There’s a lot of heart in this week’s cover story and a reminder for us all: Those who serve need and deserve our support. I hope you’ll take the time to read Kelly’s feature and if you feel compelled, help the Ice Warriors in their healing.

We devoted quite a few pages to Breeders’ Cup coverage, particularly by our photographers Andrea Hutchinson and Amber Chalfin.

From start to finish, the weekend we had at Churchill Downs was one we won’t soon forget. Also shot this weekend was the Bacchanal at the Speed Art Museum, where guests brought their angelic A-game for the theme of “Fortune.” If you don’t see your photo in print, check us out online at voice-tribune.com to see what else we captured.

I am so grateful for the amount of engagement and number of responses my last editor letter received on our website and Facebook page. So many of you – us – are ready to see the violence and division come to an end. The ongoing conversation gives me hope.

As always, thank you for taking the time to read The Voice. Your support is so appreciated.

Nonprofit News PREMIER CAREGIVER SERVICES SPONSORS KENTUCKY STATE SQUASH TOURNAMENT

CHRISTIAN ACADEMY STUDENTS VOLUNTEER AT BARREN HEIGHTS FALL RETREAT

Five high school students from Christian Academy of Louisville (two seniors, one junior and two freshman) recently participated in a service project at Barren Heights Retreat Center in Scottsville, Kentucky. Barren Heights provides free weekend retreats and outreach events for families who have children with physical or developmental disabilities. The Christian Academy students helped to make the weekend retreat run smoothly by doing things like meal prep, cleaning and organizing games and crafts. However, their main job was to simply love and encourage the guest families.

This is the sixth year that Christian Academy students have organized a fall mission trip to Barren Heights, which was actually founded by a Christian Academy family. CAL students also volunteer at weekend retreats over the summer and at the Barren Heights Community Center in Louisville throughout the year.

Christian Academy School System provides learning for pre-K through 12th grade, serving 3,000 students on four campuses in Louisville and southern Indiana. Campuses are located in Middletown, St. Matthews, Shively and New Albany, Indiana. For more information, visit caschools.us.

Premier Caregiver Services is a proud sponsor of the 61st Annual Kentucky Squash State Tournament. The 2018 Kentucky State Tournament will be held from Nov. 9-11 at the Louisville Boat Club. The tournament is for all ages – including seniors – and is a family activity open to the public.

The first Kentucky State Squash Racquets Championships were held in 1932, and the second one in 1960. In 1986, the Kentucky Squash Racquets Association (KSRA) was formed as a non-profit to promote the sport of squash in Kentucky, encouraging a healthy lifestyle and camaraderie. The organization has 150 current active adult players and 50 juniors in the state, centered mostly around Louisville but also in Lexington, Owensboro and Northern Kentucky.

In addition, the KSRA hosts about 200 players each year who come from Indianapolis, Cincinnati, Atlanta, St. Louis, Charleston, Chicago and other cities and countries to participate in tournaments, exhibitions and invitational matches.

KSRA invites all ages to compete, relaying the message that you are never too old to participate in sporting events like squash. For further info, visit kysra.org and ussquash.com, or call Lee Scott, tournament director, at 502.780.8622.

HEALTH & HOPE BREAKFAST HOSTED BY SUPPLIES OVER SEAS

Supplies Over Seas (SOS) held its third annual Health & Hope Breakfast on Oct. 19, at The Olmsted. Patrons and community partners gathered to hear of SOS’s important impact in our local community and in medically underserved regions all over the world.

A panel discussion titled “Voices from the Field” shared personal experiences of working with medical mission trips, the positive environmental impact of recycling surplus medical supplies and partnering with local medical and nursing schools.

The breakfast raises support and awareness of SOS’s mission of saving surplus medical supplies and equipment from our local landfills and sending them to hospitals and clinics in medically underserved communities worldwide.

F Pride SPOTLIGHT

at the Museum PRIDE AT THE MUSEUM Speed Art Museum 7 p.m. Nov. 9 prideatthemuseum.org

12

or more than 10 years, the LGBT Center at the University of Louisville has provided support, educational resources and advocacy to UofL students and the community at large. Each day, the staff works to strengthen and sustain an inclusive campus community and welcome people of all sexual orientations, gender identities and gender expressions.

On Nov. 9, Pride at the Museum, the inaugural signature fundraiser for the LGBT Center, will take place at the Speed Art Museum. To learn more, we spoke with the center’s Executive Director Brian Buford.

WHAT TO EXPECT “This will be a night full of entertainment from some of our city’s best talent in the most beautiful space,” said Buford. Performers will include the Louisville Ballet, Karan Chavis, Louisville Orchestra Conductor Teddy Abrams, All is Fair in Love and Fashion, Keith McGill and drag performers from PLAY Louisville. An open bar and food and drink stations will be provided courtesy of Wiltshire Pantry, Heaven Hill, Against the Grain, Goodwood Brewing and the Mocktail Project.

While creating a delightful event, the LGBT Center’s team isn’t losing sight of the big picture. “Although we are creating a space for fun and socializing, it’s really about something

greater,” affirmed Buford. “(We’re) making sure that LGBTQ young people overcome the obstacles and succeed. The night will benefit the LGBT Center at UofL and make sure that we can continue supporting students and helping them reach their goal of graduating and realizing their full potential. We, of course, want to say thanks to Terri Bass and the Bass Family Foundation as title sponsors of the event and as allies to our students.”

THE IMPACT “Our hope is that during the night, we can raise the funds to continue offering all the programs, scholarships, services and support that our students desperately need,” explained Buford. “The LGBT Center meets a critical need by buffering against all the risk factors facing LGBTQ youth. They are at high risk for dropping out, attempting suicide, becoming homeless and being the most bullied in their high schools. And sadly, they are sometimes rejected from their families and lose the parental support that they need. So we need to fill that gap and make sure they are successful. We hope our guests will become collaborators by supporting the center’s work.”

MAKING STRIDES “UofL has come so far since we opened the center in 2007, with me in a part-time position 1 1 . 0 8 . 2 0 1 8 V O I C E -T R I B U N E . C O M

and nothing but a small janitor’s closet for an office,” Buford said. “Now, we have a team of six and vibrant centers on both the Belknap and Health Sciences campuses, and we are doing work that is gaining national attention.”

One example of this groundbreaking work is the center’s partnership with UofL’s School of Medicine to develop a nationally-recognized LGBTQ curriculum called eQuality, which “is teaching doctors how to compassionately and competently care for LGBTQ patients,” Buford said. “(They’re) also improving patient care nationally by teaching other medical schools best clinical practices. We have also developed the eQuality Toolkit: a brief, concise clinical skills manual that will be published this upcoming year and available to health professional schools and clinicians all over the world to use to improve clinical care.”

Since its start in 2007, the LGBT Center has worked with community partners to establish six LGBT-themed scholarships, a themed housing community where LGBTQ residents and allies can live together and study social justice, a campus visit day designed for LGBTQ high school students and a pride week celebration that brings national speakers to campus such as Janet Mock, Jose Antonio Vargas and this year, Nyle Dimarco.

LEADERS IN INCLUSION In recent years, UofL has earned accolades for being one of the most LGBTQ inclusive campuses in the nation. The LGBT Center intends to continue this legacy and make further progress.

“We have a pretty ambitious five-year plan for 2020 that takes us to the next level in terms of inclusion,” Buford said. “As our president wisely says, we appreciate these accolades and love seeing UofL make the news as one of the most inclusive campuses in the country, but (we) aren’t stopping there. Some of the areas where we want to grow include creating a more robust program that recognizes the unique needs of LGBTQ students of color, realizing our vision of an LGBTQ medical clinic – where our students can practice and where community members can receive competent care – and continuing to build a network among the LGBT Centers in the region so that we are supporting and sharing with one another.

“Doing this work in the South is different than in other parts of the country, so we have to rally together as allies,” he concluded. “We do that well with the University of Kentucky and Northern Kentucky University, and we want to be leaders in bringing the region together.” VT

TERRI BASS

ride at the Museum is presented by Terri Bass, Lenihan Sotheby’s International Realty & the Bass Family Foundation. Terri Bass has witnessed firsthand the effects the LGBT Center’s work can have on an individual.

“I had a daughter who came back from college and then went to UofL for a couple semesters,” she said. “She was really unsure about what was going on in her life at the time. I attribute the inclusive community for the LGBT for inspiring her to be who she is. She had not come out before that.”

The Bass Family Foundation, started

by Sonny and Gladys Bass, has long supported the university and made major donations. Now, the family is proud to contribute and help further the work of the LGBT Center.

“The Bass Family Foundation was started by my husband Steven’s parents,” Terri explained. “They have always been very generous and have had a compassionate spirit.”

In addition to working with UofL, Terri began the Kentucky Chapter of The National Association of Gay and Lesbian Real Estate Professionals (NAGLREP).

Through her work with Lenihan Sotheby’s International Realty, she consistently works to build NAGLREP’s referral network of realtors, title companies, lenders, designers and other professionals.

Looking forward, Terri hopes to see the center grow and watch more students experience the profound impact it can have.

“I think it’s timely for this to be occurring and hopefully it will inspire other people,” she said. “I’ve seen the benefit through both of my daughters, who are both gay. I still see children and young adults who still don’t have that support from their family or anyone in their community. There has to be someplace where they can know that they’re supported and loved.”

To share in the excitement and raise funds for continuing their work, the organization will hold its 13th annual Candle Glow Gala on Dec. 1.

SERVING VETERANS “Our We Honor Veterans program cares for those who have served our country and is top priority for Hosparus Health,” Coleman affirmed. “In 2017, almost 20 percent of our patients served were veterans, and that number continues to grow. Through We Honor Veterans, we pair veteran volunteers with our veteran patients.”

AGING INNOVATION “Hosparus Health is, and has always been, a leader in innovation,” said Coleman.

“Our CEO, Phil Marshall, is one of the founders of the Louisville Healthcare CEO

We are proud to play an integral part in the innovation that will change the way we care for our aging population across the nation and right here at home.”

her’s Bridal, owned by Sharon “Sher” Stumler, is celebrating 46 years in business this year in Louisville. The bridal store owner and her daughter, Heather Stumler, recently held an event at the storefront, 309 N. Evergreen Road, to celebrate the many brides that the two have worked with over the last 46 years.

“When this business started, I had no idea that we’d be (here) this long,” said Sher. “I have been able to dress generations of brides and am so thankful for all of the wonderful families that have continued to allow us to be

In 1973, there were around — Sher Stumler 10 to 12 bridal lines to choose from, and no one even thought of buying a wedding dress locally. But when Sher’s opened, it inspired a boom in the bridal industry at the local level.

The industry took off in the 1950s after men started coming home from the war and couples had the time to thoroughly plan their big days. There were no coordinators at the time, so the bride’s mother typically took on the role of wedding planner. Mothers were in charge of going to the bridal fittings, booking the venue, hiring caterers and everything that goes into the execution of the wedding.

Although this sounds like a big job, wed-

dings were smaller than they are today. There was no such thing as a sit-down dinner, but instead, there were hors d’oeuvres. The attendants of the wedding were not required to dress for a black-tie affair because most weddings took place at churches. Weddings were known to be simple and small up until the 1980s.

When the ’80s rolled around, women had several more options when it came to bridal gowns. At the beginning, there were two top competitors of the 10 to 12 bridal lines: Priscilla of Boston and Bianchi of Boston. Brides flocked to these lines for one reason: the style.

Most gowns were covered or trimmed in a synthetic Chantilly lace. The lace would continue onto the sleeve, which usually ended in what is called a bridal “pointe,” which was meant to point to the hand showing off a bride’s ring.

High, sheer inset necks trimmed with lace were all the rage. With higher necklines came higher waist lines hitting below the bust, commonly known as the empire waist. To top it all off (no pun intended), the veils were usually attached to a hat that sat over the crown of the head. All of these small details amounted to a regal look, for a very stylish wedding.

A wedding day is a day to be remembered by everyone, but mostly the bride and groom.

It is a day to be taken slowly. Sher knew when she started her business, in order to make a bride’s big day memorable, the experience leading up to it needed to be joyous. Sher sold her first gown to a woman who knocked on her door Christmas Eve night, one week before opening her doors. Sher’s mother told her that this was a good sign for her business.

Walking into Sher’s, shoppers share smiles, a journey and at the end, a dress. A new era began when Sher opened her shop – an era of new style with brides who wore gowns that made them feel their best. VT 1 1 . 0 8 . 2 0 1 8 V O I C E -T R I B U N E . C O M

Summer 2018 Governor’s School for the Arts students.

Creative I Sparks A R T S & E N T E R TA I N M E N T

Inside the Governor’s School for the Arts experience

By Laura Ross

t’s undeniable that a foundation in the arts builds leaders who guide with integrity, creativity and enthusiasm. In a world with troubling funding cuts in arts education, more than ever, it’s imperative to offer young people the chance to shine in the arts.

The Kentucky Center Governor’s School for the Arts (GSA) does just that.

An annual three-week intensive summer arts residency program for high school sophomores and juniors, GSA builds a creative voice through many disciplines for more than 200 of Kentucky’s most talented teens. Students focus on nine different disciplines: architecture and design, creative writing, dance, drama, film and photography, instrumental music, musical theatre, visual art and vocal music.

For Elizabethtown High School senior Lily Addington, 17, it was an opportunity to explore her love of writing this summer as she attended GSA in the creative writing discipline. “I’ve always had a passion for telling stories, and I gained so many valuable lessons from my mentors about going deeper in my stories and how to strengthen my diction with conviction,” she said. “However, some

of the most important lessons I learned from my mentors were about being vulnerable and present to the world around me.”

Begun as a public-private partnership between the Kentucky Center for the Arts, the Governor’s office and others in 1987, GSA has seen more than 6,100 high school students benefit from the intensive arts-focused experience. GSA students attend the summer program for free, with the program covering all expenses for tuition, room, 1 1 . 0 8 . 2 0 1 8 V O I C E -T R I B U N E . C O M

The instructors act as positive role models for the young artists and provide insights into the professional world of the arts, art careers and arts education.

For the past five years, GSA was housed at Centre College. The University of Kentucky recently announced that the UK College of Fine Arts will host the GSA for the coming four years. The 2019 GSA summer program will take place June 23-July 13.

“I am thrilled to have the University of Kentucky join GSA in our vital efforts to empower the Commonwealth’s next generation of creative leaders,” said GSA Director Nick Covault, who is also an alumnus of GSA’s Vocal Music program. “I look forward to the collaboration as we remind young artists that they are valued and crucially important to society.”

“GSA is a strenuous program,” said Addington. “You never truly stop working and it will test your fervor for your art form, but it was also the most exciting time of my life. It is 1 1 . 0 8 . 2 0 1 8 V O I C E -T R I B U N E . C O M

According to GSA leaders, its young alumni are highly competitive prospective college students, who routinely score higher GPAs and ACT scores than both the state and national averages. Ninety-eight percent of GSA alumni attend college and/or receive scholarships to a higher education institution.

Additionally, 29 colleges and universities offer scholarships to alumni of GSA. “The world we live in today is so clouded by division and hate, and the arts have the power to exemplify positivity and open the door for raw emotion,” said Addington.

“When youth are inspired to be honest in their beliefs and display them through their talents, the future has no boundaries. There was such a diverse group of young adults at GSA that I gained unique perspectives from, and I am unbelievably thankful for those relationships.” VT

‘Tis the Season

Three families share their holiday traditions

By Laura Ross

Even though you’re busy and running around, you’re still happy and together in so many moments of love and appreciation for your family.

— Danielle Loewy

Adam and Danielle Loewy and their children – Charlie, 14, Elliott, 12, and Maren, 9.

t’s almost time to make a list and check it twice….or three or four or more times. Planning for the holidays is stressful enough, but the game is amped up a bit for some families when differing faiths, blended families or long-distance loved ones are involved. The pace of modern life can become overwhelming, and those family traditions may teeter in the whirl of schedules, travel and family dynamics. Over the river and through the woods to grandmother’s house might transition to Skype time on the laptop.

How do busy families balance this? For a few local families, the holidays mean embracing change, enjoying traditions and building new memories unique to their family.

THE BEST OF BOTH WORLDS Adam and Danielle Loewy and their children – Charlie, 14, Elliott, 12, and Maren, 9 – spend a busy holiday season celebrating both Hanukkah and Christmas.

“We see it as the best of both worlds,” said Danielle. “It’s important to us to have family traditions from both faiths. When we became parents, people warned us that we needed to ‘choose’ a faith tradition and said the children would be confused, but they’re not. They have always understood that the holidays are about respecting everyone. We’ve raised them to be very open minded, and our kids appreciate all religions and cultures.”

Danielle, who admits she is a “diehard Christmas fan,” starts playing and singing Christmas music in the early fall and revels in decorating their home, baking cookies and wrapping gifts. “The whole month of December has that feeling of a warm glow.

Even though you’re busy and running around, you’re still happy and together in so many moments of love and appreciation for your family,” she said. “It’s even more noticeable for me as we celebrate both Hanukkah and Christmas.”

“For Hanukkah, we celebrate eight nights where we share a dinner, light the menorah, sing a prayer and end with small gifts for the kids, like a book, puzzle or game,” said Adam. “Each night we invite different family members, my parents, Danielle’s family – who are not Jewish – and others, just to have everyone together.”

The Loewy’s share special meals throughout Hanukkah, including one night where Adam’s father makes potato latkes, which the Loewy children love. When Christmas

arrives, Danielle and her mother focus on a long-time family ritual of cooking a large, Italian dinner – usually seafood pasta – on Christmas Eve. “We’ve done that for years,” Danielle laughed. “I think we all actually look more forward to that meal than the traditional turkey and ham the next day.”

The Loewy family loves music, and a special new activity they enjoy is playing music together – with Charlie on the baritone, Elliott on drums and the piano and Maren singing and playing piano. “We’ve recorded music as a family during the holidays,” said Adam.

“The kids look forward to these traditions and as they grow older, they’re holding on to the togetherness, which is what it’s all about.”

‘MERRY CHRISTMAS ADAM!’ When Beth Milford Orberson was growing up, she and her three brothers were playing on Dec. 23 and looking forward to the imminent arrival of Christmas. Her brother said, “Hey, it’s Christmas Adam, get it?” – as in Adam 1 1 . 0 8 . 2 0 1 8 V O I C E -T R I B U N E . C O M

of their children – Harper, 2, and baby Sage, 2 months. “We get to experience the holidays now through the eyes of our children,” said Kim. Not only are the Elders growing their family, they’re growing new holiday traditions. Like the Loewys, the Elder family celebrates both Hanukkah and Christmas. “We give our daughters Christmas ornaments every year like our parents did for us,” said Kim. “Additionally, I look for Hanukkah-themed ornaments each Kim and Josh Elderwith their children – year. Hanukkah isn’t a holiday that is Harper, 2, and baby Sage, 2 months. celebrated with ornaments, but growing up, my family had a Hanukkah bush, so I have continued this tradition and look for I think having ornaments to put on it each year.”

and (Christmas) Eve. A Milford family tradition began and, henceforth, Dec. 23 was called Christmas Adam.

The quirky name stuck, and when Beth married David Orberson in 2004 and gained a young stepdaughter, Olivia, Christmas Adam became integral to their new lives together. The young family needed to balance hectic corporate jobs, a blended family and holiday travel to see family out of town.

Since Olivia would share Christmas with David and Beth and her mom and stepfather, as well as grandparents and family in different cities, the holidays became a whirlwind. The Orbersons decided that Christmas Adam would become their own special holiday.

“Christmas Adam on Dec. 23 is treasured time for just David, Olivia and me,” said Beth. “We received a fondue pot for a wedding gift and hadn’t used it yet. So, I found some fondue recipes and we had a selection of chicken and steak, crusty bread, green apples, and broccoli and a Gruyere-based cheese fondue. After dinner, we all settled on the family room sofa for what would become our annual viewing of ‘National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation.’

Midway through the movie, I brought out dessert, which was chocolate fondue with various fruits, pound cake, marshmallows and pretzels. Our Christmas Adam tradition was born.”

Today, Olivia is a 22-year old senior at the University of Louisville. “I think Christmas Adam is extra special,

WARRIORS ON ICE Local hockey team is helping veterans heal

t was just like any other hockey game at Iceland Sports Complex. It was cold, there were bodies being slammed up against the glass barriers and the crowd was small – made up mostly of friends and family members of the players. But one thing made this game unique: the players.

The Ice Warriors are a hockey team made up entirely of veterans and active-duty military men, and when this writer observed a recent game against Great Flood Brewing Company’s team, they won 7-0. They play on Sunday nights in the C-Lager League of the Louisville Adult Hockey Players Association, where all the tournaments and trophies are named after beers.

The Warriors’ first game took place on Sept. 16. They now have a 5-1-1 record so far, which is impressive considering this is their inaugural season. With 17 men ranging from ages 27 to 55, the Warriors are the first all-veteran hockey team in Louisville. They only practice twice during the season, once at the beginning and once before the playoffs, but their record proves that they are thriving.

Jon Atchison, the fearless leader, started the team – which is now a certified nonprofit – after watching the Stanley Cup last year with his children and seeing an all-veteran team from Michigan. He immediately knew he wanted to bring something like that to Louisville, so he became certified as a coach and referee and began coaching at different children’s programs in the city. Atchinson also started asking veterans he knew if they would be interested and received positive feedback, so he quickly set off to make his dream a reality.

With the team motto of “No one left behind,” it’s obvious that the organization isn’t just about hockey; it’s about giving veterans an outlet. Atchison, who suffers from PTSD from his time in law enforcement and as a Marine, feels comfortable when he’s at

Iceland coaching the Ice Warriors. It’s even one of the few places he can go without bringing his service dog.

Originally from Akron, Ohio, Atchinson served in the Marine Corps for advanced infantry, teaching new soldiers after boot camp how to handle and fire weapons they would use in combat. He moved to Louisville in 2003 to play for the Louisville Fire arena football team. After meeting the woman who would become his wife, he decided to stay.

During the first few games of the hockey season, Atchison played goalie. But the former football player had already experienced a few concussions, and after suffering one too many while playing for the Ice Warriors, he’s now restricted from playing on the ice. But he is still able to act as the head coach. He handles the team’s business matters by himself but always takes his men into account when making decisions. “If I’m doing something, I always take their input,” Atchison said. “Even though it’s kind of my decision, I like getting their input because it involves them, and they were involved in the groundwork of it.”

Atchison must also handle the finances for the team and navigating the new nonprofit status, which means he can start working on obtaining sponsorships and begin fundraising efforts. Currently, the players and Atchison pay for everything out of their own pockets.

When asked about future plans for the team, Atchison laid out his intention. He hopes to start a team of new veterans called Fully Fatigued to play in the Louisville Adult Hockey Players Association Never-Ever league, which is for teams of adults who have never played hockey. Atchison is hopeful that they can eventually play against other veteran teams throughout the nation.

“We’re going to end up joining the National Veterans Hockey League, which is 15 other veteran teams across the country,” he explained. “My ultimate goal is to get as many veteran teams as I can in different leagues and also start a sled hockey team, but that’s going to come with more sponsorship.”

The Louisville Ice Warriors play Sundays at Iceland Sports Complex. The games are free to attend. The regular season runs until Nov. 16, which is followed by playoffs and, potentially, the championship. VT

MATT PUCKETT Matt Puckett, who plays center for the Ice Warriors, was one of the first people Jon Atchison reached out to about starting the team, and Puckett was immediately interested.

Puckett is originally from Brooklyn, New York, but came to Louisville for a family visit and enjoyed the city so much, he decided to move here. He began playing hockey through the Never-Ever program at Iceland. He served in the Marine Corps for more than six years as a military police officer based in Lexington, with a few deployments during his time with the Marines. Puckett loved playing hockey in the first place, and when he heard he could represent the military through the sport, he was excited to join the Ice Warriors.

“I love being around other vets,” he said. “The main thing I love is the camaraderie. It’s really close to kind of being in the military. Hockey is an aggressive sport and you have that drive to be the best and wanting to win, so it’s a lot of the same feelings in a sense.”

KYLE VANYO Kyle Vanyo, a center for the Warriors, grew up in New Jersey, playing roller and street hockey, but he couldn’t afford the expensive costs of equipment for playing on the ice. He eventually earned enough money to buy what he needed and has been playing hockey for about five years. Vanyo discovered the Ice Warriors in a unique way. He played on a hockey team where he was stationed at Aviano Air Base in Italy for two years. While ordering jerseys for his Italian team through a Canadian company, he stumbled upon a photo on the company’s Instagram and saw a photo of a Louisville Ice Warriors jersey. Knowing he was preparing to move to Louisville, he reached out to Atchison, and when he found out it was an all-veteran team, he was eager to join. Meanwhile, Atchison was enthusiastic about having recruited all the way from Italy.

Vanyo just recently left active-duty status in the Air Force, where he served as a weather flight commander – issuing weather alerts for army bases and military pilots – and is settling in as a Louisvillian and an Ice Warrior.

“I think it’s a really cool thing to be a part of,” he said. “I’m glad I found it because I think it gives a lot of the guys, including myself, a nice outlet to have and a nice bonding experience.

This is the first group that I knew (in Louisville). I wasn’t even working when I got here so this was my first team activity.”

Morning feeding time for the Thoroughbreds backside in the barns at Churchill Downs.

Trotting Around Breeders’ Cup

By Janice Carter Levitch

A

large international crowd gathered at Churchill Downs for Breeders’ Cup this weekend, and let me tell you, it was a privilege to sit in on the action.

Whether you had the chance to visit the backside of the track or sit on Millionaires Row to watch the feature races, Breeders’ Cup was a magical experience. My Valentinos felt tighter and tighter as I trotted through parts of the massive complex of Churchill Downs in search of charismatic goings-on and interesting characters (mostly people with big hats).

Monday jumpstarted the week as I grabbed my best barn boots and knocked the dust off to go explore the backside. Eerily quiet in the pre-dawn, there is a peacefulness walking around the barns, watching the horses as each entourage bathes these beautiful creatures. One endearing sight was watching Elliott Walden, CEO of Winstar Farm, snap photos of his family as they watched the early morning training sessions.

Wednesday rolled around and it was time to visit Janna Flowers (my new bestie) at

Clique Boutique. The skin care specialist began the daunting task of creating the effect that I get enough sleep and never drink wine (best of luck to her). Two hours and several vials of moisturizing serum later, I had glowing, revitalized skin. “My recommended treatments before a special occasion would be a facial a week prior to an event or dermaplaning a couple of days prior,” Janna commented. “I love seeing clients walk out the door with a boost of confidence from the services we provide.”

Back at the track, I jumped in and out of the media center, where credentialed media from all over the world gathered to broadcast their podcasts – from Parisian journalists to the Los Angeles Turf Club director.

Saturday arrived in grand style as the rain finally stopped, which allowed the sun to shine in all her glory. The ladies’ fashions ranged from gorgeous fascinators to vintage fedoras (mine was Yves Saint Laurent) and hemlines had their own temperature (appropriate to the knee). Meanwhile, the gentlemen

wore classic suits and looked dashing while sipping on their favorite bourbon. Overall, Breeders’ Cup had an air of sophistication.

The Jockey Club Suites were calling my name, so I ventured up to the fourth floor.

My longtime friend Merry-Kay Poe was busy entertaining in one of the suites and was perfectly dressed for the day in an elegant Alexander McQueen suit topped off with a pillbox style chapeau designed by Sylvia Fletcher for Lock Couture, a British hatter company.

The suite was hopping, from Jennifer Lawrence’s parents to a Bengals football player (a VBP – very big person), the group was diverse and a blast to chat with. After enjoying the pit stop, I knew it was time to scurry on to the next adventure and pray to the lords of energy, better known as Red Bull, that I could make it to the Bacchanal held at the Speed Art Museum later in the evening. I made it and what a fantastical evening it was.

The week was finally over, and I knew my job was to fit all this into a condensed version (kind of like a bouillon cube) for this column.

I set my alarm for an early morning call, but when the sound went off at 2 a.m., it was a different tone than I remembered, and it was coming from under the nightstand on the other side of the bed. Then, it made a fluttering noise. I grabbed my flashlight, startling the noisemaker, which then flew – yes flew – up in the air. Eek, a bat was in my bedroom.

There must’ve been something in my closet the bat liked because that’s where it landed. It’s still there. It was a rather funny (and unnerving) ending for such an amazing week. The bat must have gotten in when I opened the window on Saturday morning to greet the long-awaited sunshine. While a little shook up, I feel pretty lucky. Who else has a bat in her closet that doesn’t have Louisville Slugger engraved on it? I think I’ll name the creature Accelerate. VT 1 1 . 0 8 . 2 0 1 8 V O I C E -T R I B U N E . C O M

HILLIARD LYONS ENDS FISCAL YEAR 2018 WITH RECORD-SETTING GROWTH Hilliard Lyons is celebrating record-setting growth this month after the close of its fiscal year on Sept. 30. As of that date, the regional wealth advisory firm based in Louisville reports $51 billion in total assets, up six percent from fiscal year 2017. That number includes $10 billion in advisory assets – up 22 percent year over year – and $10.8 billion in Hilliard Lyons Trust Company assets, a 15 percent increase from fiscal 2017.

“This past fiscal year has been very gratifying for Hilliard Lyons,” said Jim Allen, CEO of Hilliard Lyons. “Of course, we benefited from a rising market. But we would not be where we are without the hard work of our wealth advisors, their client service associates and the home office staff that supports them. We are also grateful for the many thousands of clients who entrust us with helping to realize their financial vision.”

In addition to record asset growth, Hilliard Lyons saw significant growth in recruiting in fiscal 2018. During the 12 months ended Sept.

30, Hilliard Lyons added 27 new wealth advisors, bringing the total of wealth advisors across the firm’s 12-state footprint to 383. Threefourths of that activity was in the last six months of the fiscal year when 20 new advisors joined Hilliard Lyons’ roster.

Allen attributes this successful recruiting year to decisions designed to foster loyalty among advisors, including joining the Broker Proto48

col, an industry agreement in place since 2004 that prevents employers from taking legal action against wealth advisors who take their book of business with them to a new firm. In addition, a new management structure introduced in fiscal 2018 includes the promotion of Randy Morris, SVP, to the position of director of wealth advisor recruiting and a network of regional directors charged directly with encouraging growth at the branches within their regions.

“One thing all of our wealth advisors have in common – whether they are new recruits or seasoned industry veterans – is the desire to produce the best possible results for clients,” said Allen. “Giving our wealth advisors the support they need to best serve their clients makes Hilliard Lyons a destination of choice for advisors seeking the flexibility that a regional firm can offer.”

Hilliard Lyons also opened three new branches this year – in Akron, Ohio, and Cranberry Township and Washington, Pennsylvania (both near Pittsburgh) – with client assets of over $600 million. In addition, both the Nashville, Tennessee, and Asheville, North Carolina, branches expanded significantly. Both expansions made it necessary to move those branches to larger quarters. Asheville’s expansion included the onboarding of two wealth advisor teams managing approximately $390 million in client assets. The Nashville expansion included the liftout of six advisors and seven investment bankers and analysts from Avondale Partners, LLC.

BAPTIST HEALTH ACHIEVES GOAL WITH ‘MOST WIRED’ RECOGNITION

Baptist Health has achieved a longheld goal with its recognition as one of the nation’s “Most Wired” hospital systems, according to the College of Healthcare Information Management Executives (CHIME) Healthcare’s Most Wired survey.

The award announcement will appear in the November issue of Hospitals & Health Networks magazine. Only 254 hospital systems earned the recognition this year, including two in Kentucky and five in Indiana.

This is the third year that the eight-hospital system has been honored for its use of technology to improve communication with and service to patients – from scheduling appointments to sending secure messages to patients about their results and protecting against threats such as ransomware.

“I am thrilled for this recognition for Baptist Health because of the testament it gives to the commitment, teamwork and dedication of all involved to adopt new technology ever mindful of our purpose of taking excellent care of our patients,” said Tricia Julian, Baptist Health’s chief information officer.

In October 2015, Baptist Health began rolling out its electronic health records system to its physician offices and hospitals. Baptist Health

worked with Epic Systems, used by some of the nation’s largest health systems for electronic health records. All Baptist Health hospitals, outpatient centers in Kentucky are now using Epic, plus all Baptist Health Medical Group offices. Rollout of the electronic health record to Baptist Health Floyd will begin next year.

“Healthcare IT has the potential to revolutionize care around the world, but to meet that potential it must be used strategically,” said Russell Branzell, president and CEO of CHIME. “The technology is important, but leadership and a strategic vision are equally important. The diversity of the organizations that earned Most Wired status this year shows quality care can be achieved almost anywhere under the right leadership. By sharing the best practices in Most Wired, we hope quality care will one day be available everywhere.”

HealthCare’s Most Wired, now in its 20th year, traditionally tracked the adoption of healthcare IT in hospitals and health systems.

CHIME took over the Most Wired program and revised the survey questions and methodology this year to highlight strengths and gaps in the industry. The goal is to identify best practices and promote the strategic use of healthcare IT to elevate the health and care of communities around the world.

Plenty to W Live On PROFILE

Miller Company takes generosity to the next level

By Lisa Hornung Photos by Kathryn Harrington

MILLER COMPANY, INC. 11470 Bluegrass Pkwy. millermakesitwork.com 502.254.5200

50

hen Scott Miller bought Miller Company from his parents in 2014, he knew he wanted to take it in a different direction.

Miller Company had focused on copier sales and services since 1978, but Scott wanted to rebuild it and create a full business services organization, including IT, phone operations, security and more. It paid off, and now a $5 million-a-year company has become a $10 million-a-year company in just four years.

But that’s not the only way the company has evolved. Going from a business that keeps its money to a philanthropic one has been a significant change. Scott explained that his father didn’t believe in giving money away.

Not that he wasn’t a good person, Scott said, but he was raised in the 1930s when money was scarce.

Miller’s most recent gift is as a Platinum Sponsor of the March of Dimes Signature Chefs Auction, which begins ar 5:30 p.m. on Nov. 8 at the Omni Louisville Hotel. The event is an evening of delicious food, gourmet cocktails and culinary auction packages.

The tasting features 30 of Louisville’s best chefs and restaurants, led by Volare Chef Josh Moore.

Scott said he and his wife Kimberly went the first year at the invitation of Scott’s best man, Lee Guillaume, who had been involved

with March of Dimes for many years. They had such a great time, they bought a table the following year. This year, Scott was working on the planning committee when he learned that a couple of big sponsors had backed out.

Out of the blue, he said, “I’ll be your platinum sponsor for $15,000.” The gift came on the heels of another very large gift his company had given to St. Patrick’s Cathedral and School. “My accounting department said, ‘Are you nuts?’” he joked.

Scott loves his job but he particularly enjoys how his job allows him to give back.

“We’ve always been a great service provider,” he said. “We treat our people like family, we treat our customers like family, we go above and beyond to keep everybody happy. Sometimes we shouldn’t, but it’s our philosophy.

We operate under a religious belief system – that we should treat everyone as we would ourselves, and that’s what I try to do. I told Dad, ‘I don’t want to just be known as a great copier dealer. I don’t want to be known as the great office technology company.

There’s gotta be something else that we can do in business.’”

Miller’s first beneficiary was Simmons College of Kentucky. The school had one very old copier from Miller that had fallen into disrepair, and the college had trouble paying its bills to the company. So, Scott went to meet with the leadership.

“I said, ‘I’ll give you guys $75,000 of free copiers.’” Scott explained. “They kind of looked at each other and one of them started crying. I said, ‘All I ask is that you pay me the cost of the toner.’ That’s all I ask going forward, and it kind of blossomed from there.”

The company has given donations to the University of Louisville, St. Patrick’s, Dismas Charities and more. But giving to March of Dimes is extra special, Scott said.

“We got to see the NICU at Norton Children’s Hospital and that is something really special,” he said. “It’s amazing that since the March of Dimes has been sponsoring, the improvements have been phenomenal.”

On Nov. 1, March of Dimes released the 2018 Premature Birth Report Card, which stated that for the third year in a row, the amount of pre-term babies has increased in the United States. Premature birth and its complications are the largest contributor to death in the first year of life in the United States and the leading cause of death of children under age five worldwide. The report said that while there are many reasons for preterm birth, unequal access to quality health care is a leading factor. The U.S. received a C grade from the nonprofit; Kentucky got a D. Scott and Kimberly said that helping further the mission of March of Dimes brings them joy. “We have plenty of money to live on,” Scott said. “I’ve got a nice house. I don’t need a $40 million house or a $4 million house. I don’t need cars, boats, toys. I’ve been through all that crap in my life, and it doesn’t make you happy.”

Kimberly agreed, stating, “It’s nice to give back if we have the opportunity. It makes your heart happy.” VT 1 1 . 0 8 . 2 0 1 8 V O I C E -T R I B U N E . C O M
