from the

PUBLISHER New York, New York “Start spreading the news, I’m leaving today. I want to be a part of it: New York, New York. These vagabond shoes are longing to stray right through the very heart of it: New York, New York.”

—Fred Ebb

N

ew York, a unique city that is both chaotic and eloquent at the same time. On a recent visit to the big apple, I collaborated with Lane Levitch for a photoshoot in the heart of Soho. Armed with a small point and shoot film camera, we began the search for locations. As you can see from the images shown here, we had a terrific afternoon scouting around the side streets for the perfect spot. Of course, we found our way to a street made of cobblestone, with traffic moving at a snail’s pace. So naturally, I signaled to Lane to get poised with the camera because I was going to take a minute to get a few images snapped while I stood in the middle of the street. The experience reminded me somewhat of my first trip to New York a few years ago and how the energy of the city is an overflow of feeling magnetic, inspiring and daunting.

Traveling during this time in the world is very different now. Masks along with proof of vaccination are required most of the time upon entering the various businesses. There is also a limit on the number of guests allowed into the smaller boutiques. Despite the changes, the chance to travel supersedes any of the minor inconveniences.

After all, it’s New York, the city that truly never sleeps.

Come along with us as we give you yet another invigorating issue of our publication. Producing a monthly glossy magazine is tremendously rewarding and it truly takes every single member of our team to make it happen. Deadlines seem so far away for us as we venture into the editorial content of each new issue that waits for us on the horizon. However, it’s as though there is some kind of time warp and suddenly, our deadlines are closer than we anticipated. A favorite description of this process is this, it’s like a quiet panic that we are passionate about and seem to operate at our best when we hit this phase of production. Thank you to all of our loyal readers and advertisers that support us through each whirlwind we encounter.

Without all of you, we could not do what we do so well. Deliver VOICE Louisville to your doorstep month after month.

Cheers,

Letter from the

I

EDITOR

n my previous letter, I mentioned that as I step into the role of editor in chief, I strive to push the boundaries while keeping the publication’s legacy intact. That day came earlier than I anticipated! For the first time in nearly four years, a still-life image graces the cover of VOICE Louisville magazine. To say that I am proud of our team is a vast understatement. During the cover shoot, I found myself standing on the outskirts of the set with a soft smirk absorbing the melting of creative minds we have on the VOICE team. Massive shout out to our Publisher Janice for not only listening to our crazy ideas but trusting us to execute them. My cup of gratitude runneth over!

Without further ado, I present the November Giving and Holiday Shop Local issue with a special nonprofit section. To honor organizations in the Louisville community that dedicate their efforts to finding a cure despite the layer of challenges brought on by the pandemic - we featured a story, written by Melissa Chipman, on Gilda’s Club reminding us “that no one faces cancer alone.” Kosair Charities walked us through their rich history and how it all began with six acres of land in our Bluegrass state. We spoke with Norton Children’s Hospital Foundation to discuss the hybrid experience available for this year’s Snow Ball Gala. Contributing writer Ella Treinen connected with Executive Director of American Cancer Society Kentuckiana, Brad Burk, who shared that Louisville is a “gala kind of town” and the organization’s plans for Hope Gala 2022. In our monthly Passport column, we learned that Crew Aviation is more than just stellar service, but stellar hearts when it comes to their dedication to giving back to the community.

Life-altering diseases don’t discriminate against age. Contributing writer Rachel Porter wrote a heartwarming piece on Robert, a six-year-old warrior, and his family’s battle against a rare disease. The city’s most delicious fundraising event, supporting strong moms and healthy babies, March of Dimes Signature Chefs, will be held

Irving Penn was an American photographer who also focused on still-life artworks, but Mr. Penn’s creations were rooted in high fashion. Penn successfully merged high fashion and still-life, elevating his subjects in ways that truly speak to the American spirit.

These American artists genuinely represent the idea of “Americana,” idolizing and venerating life in cities and towns across the United States at the turn of the 20th century. Americana is also represented in the merging of competing ideas, the blending into a unity that truly encapsulates the American spirit.

We wanted to reference these styles on this cover of Louisville’s favorite fashion and lifestyle magazine as we juxtaposed

commonplace objects like pastries and sweets with luxurious jewelry and fashion. The result was simply unique and remarkable, merging and blending styles to come out the other side with art that “feeds” the American soul. As always, thank you again for choosing to read VOICE Louisville. We hope that you enjoy our feature as much as we enjoyed eating the leftovers! v Ciao,

A Look at Kosair Charities Past, Present and Future Kentucky’s largest children’s charity in history has allowed children to live their lives to the fullest for almost 100 years and doesn’t plan on stopping any time soon

By RACHEL PORTER | Photos provided by KOSAIR

n 1923, no one could have imagined purchasing six acres of land on Eastern Parkway in Louisville, Kentucky, would become the spark that ignited change and support to over 80 organizations, including countless children across Kentucky and Southern Indiana today. As Kosair Charities is approaching its one-hundredth year, there is no better time to explore the history and impacts on the community. We spoke with Senior Vice President of Strategy and Outreach, Lindsay Wehr to discuss the past, present and future of Kosair Charities.

In the early 1920s, several doctors, lawyers and community members saw a need for disabled children that other hospitals were not meeting.

Dr. W. Barnett Owen, a nationally known orthopedic surgeon at the time, decided to pursue building the Kosair Crippled Children Hospital.

an average of $10 million to over 80 organizations that benefit children. Kosair Charities has five focuses: medicine, research, education, social services and child advocacy. The focuses do not change; however, a specific direction may be more prevalent than others one year. In this instance, Kosair’s main priorities fall under social services and child advocacy.

“We realized that consistently Kentucky is number one, so the worst, in regards to child abuse and neglect. The Face It Movement was founded in 2013 to help fix this issue through a three-pronged approach,” mentioned Wehr. The approaches include public awareness, getting the word out, best practices, what people can do, policies and laws to prevent or punish. The movement that began with five organizations is now up to 115 across the state, attempting to fulfill one of the three-pronged approaches.

Kosair Charities continues to ensure children a happy life through generous donations and support from the community. Through this, Kosair can help numerous nonprofits and currently work with 150 families. “Families can apply directly for assistance for things like medical bills, therapy, etc., to help fill the gaps,” said Wehr.

Kosair strives to continue making the next 100 years as impactful as the first 100 have been, even if they don’t know what is next. “What we do know is that 100% of children have a need, and we have always tried and will continue to try and anticipate the needs of children to most effectively help. v With the aid of local Shriners, they could secure the land to make the beautiful Tudor-style building possible. In just three years, the hospital admitted the first ten patients. “It became the first and original children’s hospital not only in Louisville but the region,” said Wehr. What truly distinguished the hospital from others was that it supported children aside from a family’s ability to pay and utilized forward-thinking medical approaches at the time, such as new braces, different therapies, the original iron lung and even school for long-term patients.

During the high times of the polio epidemic in the 1940s, the hospital reached up to 100 beds. Kosair continued growing and began collaborating with other hospitals such as Norton Infirmary. “Our ability to serve children in a greater way expanded in the 1980s,” said Wehr. “All of the beds were moved downtown to a children’s hospital to become the granting foundation we are today.” Therefore, Kosair Charities was no longer a medical provider but a resource that met the needs of children that were more than just physical while still upholding the mission of ensuring children live their lives to the fullest.

“Kosair Charities, as a grant-making organization, can fund organizations that help children and is also able to grant money to families and children directly,” said Wehr.

The grant program is the most prominent, annually granting NOVEMBER 2021

this December. Guests can attend in person or virtually live stream to support Norton Children’s Cancer Institute. This year the Snow Ball Gala highlights the effects pediatric cancer has on children in our community. Proceeds will contribute to supporting the institute’s workforce and research for innovative trial treatments.

“We want new innovative treatments to bring to our patients so that they don’t

have to leave and go somewhere else,” said Norton Healthcare’s System Director of Events and Community Outreach, Heather Singleton.

The black-tie gala will take place on Dec. 4 at the Omni Louisville Hotel from 6 to 12 a.m. “It is a fashionable event, so we are always looking for the hotspot. It meets the crowd’s expectations of being sleek and trendy,” said Singleton.

NOVEMBER 2021

Lynnie Meyer & Shannon Cogan.

The Snow Ball Gala committee works hard to ensure attendees have a memorable evening, from the details in decor to the convenience of valet parking. “We focus a lot on the guest experience to make sure people keep coming back. That’s why we put a lot into the decor, food and music, and it sets us apart besides the mission,” said Singleton. For those attending in person, the evening will kick off with a cocktail hour and an auction, followed by a 5-course meal prepared by Omni and live music. Guests will end their evening by taking a stroll through the art gallery of the hotel lobby.

A full belly paired with a few cocktails will be sure to give guests enough energy to dance the night away to one of Nashville’s hottest performing bands, The Number One Party Band. “It is their first time in Louisville, some of the committee members highly recommended them to perform,” said Singleton. The band’s setlist covers multiple genres, guaranteeing there will be songs everyone knows and can show off their best moves!

As the evening winds down, guests are encouraged to enjoy the art gallery featuring a quartet. “We will offer coffee and hot chocolate with a treat for the end of the night. There will be take-home gifts down there as well. They will be ending their evening on a great note,” added Singleton.

One of the intriguing features of the gala is the raffle drawing. The Grand Prize is a brand-new Norton Commons built by Rampage Homes, and the first prize is a NOVEMBER 2021

2022 BMW X3 from BMW of Louisville plus $10,000 cash in the trunk. Tickets are $100 each, and only 15,000 will be sold, according to Singleton.

Raffle tickets are purchased online at HomeAndBMWRaffle.com or by contacting 502.629.8060. Online ticket sales will close at noon on Dec. 2, and telephone sales will end on Dec. 3. People have the opportunity to tour the home for free during open houses held every Friday, Saturday and Sunday from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. through Dec. 4. Those who are attending the open house have until the last day of open houses to buy one. If you are joining the virtual Snow Ball Gala, you can purchase one during the live stream.

Virtual attendees will have just as fun as in-person ones. Singleton said they are trying to accommodate people with the hybrid option. Virtual guests can purchase and indulge in a meal package from the infamous Italian restaurant Volare.

The package includes a three-course meal for two people and a bottle of wine. “They

purchase the meals through us and then pick it up from Volare to take home,” said Singleton. Virtual attendees can live stream a portion of the event from the comfort of their homes while their taste buds run wild!

The Omni is offering a Snow Ball Gala rate of $189 per night. For those who have not purchased their tickets yet and still want to attend, you have until Nov. 19 to buy them. It’s time to step back out into the city to show support for pediatric cancer patients in the community and enjoy the excitement and feeling of eagerness we have kept in for so long! v Snow Ball Gala Saturday, Dec. 4, 2021 6 p.m. to midnight Omni Louisville Hotel 400 S.

Mission critical: Crew Aviation shares their passion for supporting nonprofits

By AMY BARNES Photos by ANDREA HUTCHINSON

V

OICE Louisville recently spoke with the Crew Aviation team regarding their contributions to nonprofits in Louisville and beyond.

What is your philosophy on giving back to our community?

We believe in servant leadership and helping other individuals, businesses and organizations develop and perform at their best.

We want to be active members of the communities in which we operate, not just another company. It has been said that we are “different,” and we hope to reflect that through the connections and contributions we make as a company and as individuals.

How would you describe your community engagment in Louisville?

We participate in local, national and international organizations that benefit Louisville, the Commonwealth of Kentucky, Southern Indiana and surrounding areas. Our industry is driven by those who have studied and achieved success based on STEAM education. STEAM is an educational approach that uses science, technology, engineering, the arts and mathematics as access points for guiding student inquiry, dialogue and critical thinking. We align ourselves with nonprofits that support those disciplines as well.

Our COO and Director of Operations, Tim Peace, has served on the Louisville Orchestra board of directors of Louisville Orchestra for four years. He is the secretary of the board and concurrently serves on several subcommittees. The Arts have been long tied to innovation, mathematics and creativity. By 32

supporting all forms of art, including performing arts, design, literary, visual, philosophy and others, we can incorporate the value art had in the beginnings of aviation, as Leonardo da Vinci himself was one of the first to contemplate the concept of flight.

In July, we hosted our First Annual Golf Scramble to support the Rally Foundation for Childhood Cancer Research, an international foundation that raises awareness and funding.

The Foundation offers grants for significant research and smaller researchers looking for alternative treatments which may not have acquired financing. Its goal is to discover leading-edge technologies that result in fewer long-term side effects and, ultimately, cures. The scramble was a tremendous success that raised over $10,000.

While this was our first year supporting the Rally Foundation in Louisville, we have been the title sponsor for Rally on The Runway in Nashville for the past three years.

In 2015, Creative Director of Crew Aviation, Annabelle Klein, founded Flight Club 502, a nonprofit organization with the help of her father and Crew Aviation CEO and Founder, Clyde Ensor. It began with eight kids, three of whom were Annabelle’s younger sisters. They gathered because they wanted to be pilots, but no one knew where to begin. With Clyde’s direction, encouragement and others in the Louisville aviation community, Flight Club 502 became an organization with a mission to instruct young students about leadership and success through realistic goal-setting in aviation through NextGen/ STEM education. While the initial group was all female, the organization grew to include males as well. There are over 230 members to date. One hundred three members have achieved their first solo flights, forty-two members have earned private pilot licenses, and four have completed their commercial certificates.

Daily Libations Joe mixes up fall cocktail recipes with Maker’s Mark Straight Bourbon Whisky

By JOE DAILY Photos by KATHRYN HARRINGTON

elcome and thanks for joining us here at Daily Libations, featuring Maker’s Mark Straight Bourbon Whisky! This month we are coming into the fall, with the weather beginning to cool. I stopped by to see some industry friends to get the creative juices flowing over at Grassa Gramma. This time of year, I start thinking about beverages that are most enjoyable when shared. In your own cup, of course, but made in batches. Thank the stars for coming out of the pandemic. More like, thank the Greeks and Romans.

We will discuss a couple of beverages that have stood the test of time back to the 2nd century. Pretty wild, right? There is no exact recipe for either beverage we will be discussing, just loose ingredients. That’s the fun part! It allows you to put your spin on

it creating your variation or family recipe. I enjoy that aspect! I will also include a couple of variations at the end to get you started on your journey.

Without further ado, let’s discuss our first beverage featuring Maker’s Mark Straight Bourbon Whisky, mulled wine.

Bourbon mulled wine includes such ingredients as cinnamon, mace, anise, close, citrus, honey and galangal (in the ginger family). These common ingredients can be added to bourbon mulled wine to spruce up the flair. To this day, I would accept every one of these ingredients into my bourbon mulled wine. Sounds pretty fantastic, right? With so many flavors, we start to think about the base varietal of wine and what blend of spices and sweeteners we decide to use. That is where it starts to get enjoyable with bourbon mulled wine. We have so many great wine grapes out there that it’s tough to figure out where to start sometimes! Again, that’s part of the fun, figuring out what you like.

Next on my list of favorite fall and winter drinks is cider.

Cider is an excellent beverage with a lot of range due to the variety of apples we have to choose from if you would like to start from scratch. For ease of creating at home, I will be starting from a Gala apple non-alcoholic cider base. It’s pretty standard and easy to find if you would like to spice it up with your ingredients later on down the line. Like mulled wine, cider (non-alcoholic/alcoholic) has an ancient past with roots believed to be from the British Isles around 55 B.C. When the Romans discovered the beverage upon entry of the Isles, news traveled fast and NOVEMBER 2021

Joni Latifi, Kevin Grangier and Joe Daily.

made its way back to the Roman empire. Again, a drink that has stood the test of time. You would be hard-pressed like cider apples this time of year not to find these two beverages in my house. I stock them until spring, ha!

Now I must state that we will be discussing spiked cider and not the traditional fermented cider that some of you may be familiar with. Those apples are pretty different, and you typically would not want to eat one of them like you would a Gala or HoneyCrisp.

Please take my word for it!

The beauty of apples throughout history, which we take for granted and probably never think about, is their ability to last. In proper storage, specific varieties of apples may remain edible for months, making them a viable source to make alcohol out of. Much easier to control the timeline vs. grapes and, let’s say, pears or fruits that tend to spoil quickly.

So, what makes apple cider, cider? The spices might sound very familiar! Cider spices and mulled wine spices are the same, making it easy to have a little crossover in your household. It is a great way to have a beverage for the kids and the option of an alcoholic version for the adults along with mulled wine. You can make all three with minimal effort and look like a beverage pro. This month we will be using Maker’s Mark Straight Kentucky Bourbon Whisky to add our traditional Kentucky flair to our beverages. We are going to start with our mulled wine. Are you guys and gals ready to make some shareables?

Then we are off to the races! v

March of Dimes Signature Chefs Auction Chef Josh Moore of Volare returns as lead chef for one of Louisville’s most delicious nights of fundraising

By SARAH CARTER LEVITCH Photo by ANDREA HUTCHINSON

S

ince 2008, Executive Chef and Managing Partner at Volare Italian Ristorante Josh Moore has served as lead chef for the Annual March of Dimes Signature Chefs Auction, a fundraising event featuring 30-35 local restaurants which provide a sampling of their cuisine. March of Dimes, a nonprofit supporting the health of mothers and babies, encompasses all stages of motherhood, from prenatal to postpartum, to ensure all mothers have access to the care they need. Moore reflected on his connection to the organization, “I was a couple of months

premature myself. I think I was born four pounds. I always joke and say I made up for it. On a personal level, it means a lot to me to help these families. Over the years, I’ve had the opportunity to meet parents and watch the kids grow up that March of Dimes has helped, so it’s a very close, heartfelt thing for me.”

As the lead, Josh works closely with March of Dimes to help coordinate the other chefs involved in the event, including Jereme McFarland of Bourbons Bistro, Allan Rosenberg of Louisville Thoroughbred Society and John Varanese of Riverhouse.

Each chef prepares a dish to serve,

as Josh noted, “Normally I pick something from the Volare menu or a special, and I always want to highlight or showcase something that guests would enjoy at the restaurant. From the chef ’s side of it, it’s great seeing everyone, getting together and helping such a good cause.”

Though participating in the event for many years already, Moore does not plan to stop any time soon. Moore shared, “Being involved for so many years has been a very fulfilling experience, and I love being able to help such a wonderful charity that is close to my heart. I am looking forward to many more years.” v

millions of mothers across the country.

The U.S. is one of the most dangerous developed nations for childbirth, especially for women and babies of color.

For over 80 years, March of Dimes, a national nonprofit organization, has led the fight for the health of all moms and babies. “We are leading the cause for not only research and data but are figuring

out why the U.S. is still one of the worst for birth,” said Emily Wellis, the donor development manager of March of Dimes Kentuckiana.

Before the March of Dimes mission was prioritizing the health of mothers and infants across the country, it was one of the original leaders of research for polio vaccination. “Originally, when

NOVEMBER 2021

FDR (Franklin D. Roosevelt) was president and polio was a huge illness taking the nation, he started the foundation called the National Foundation for Infantile Paralysis. It was founded to create the polio vaccination,” said Wellis. The foundation was better known as the March of Dimes. After the vaccine, the organization moved away and became its entity to focus solely on mothers and babies.

Over the years, the nonprofit has had enormous research breakthroughs that have saved millions of lives. “The medical research and strides of things have been huge for March of Dimes since day one,” said Wellis. According to the website, the research has aided victories such as discovering the genes for Marfan and Fragile X syndromes and developing pulmonary surfactant therapy to treat respiratory distress syndrome.

There are five Prematurity Research Centers, including one in London, to ultimately end preterm birth.

The organization and families are still asking why two babies die from preterm complications and pregnancy complications every hour, and every 12 hours, one mom dies from pregnancy complications. March of Dimes research has also concluded that black women are three times more likely to die from pregnancy-related causes than white women and black babies are twice as likely to die before their first birthday. Unfortunately, Kentucky reflects many of these numbers. March of Dimes offers a report card each year that evaluates the overview of the health of moms and babies across the U.S. In 2020, Kentucky scored a ‘D.’ Through statistics provided by March of Dimes, Kentucky’s infant mortality rate is currently 6:1, and 30% of black mothers in the state will have a premature baby. There are multiple reasons for these numbers, but Wellis said health equity is the main one. “There is a huge health equity gap in Louisville; we now have a task force funded by Humana to understand this more,” said Wellis. However, even for cities outside of Louisville, health disparities are still a problem. “You will find health deserts in rural communities where the closest hospital could be 30 minutes away. There may not be enough ambulances to get there in time, especially for a preterm baby with complications.”

NOVEMBER 2021

March of Dimes hosts the Signature Chefs Auction Event throughout the country to continue the fight every year.

Louisville has the honor of hosting one at the Marriott in downtown Louisville on Nov. 11. It features over 15 of Louisville’s best chefs like Josh Moore from Volare. Guests will also have a chance to hear the stories of an ambassador family who share their NICU journey. “With more funding comes more opportunity for growth,” exclaimed Wellis. March of Dimes would be thrilled to develop more roles to place people in NICUS with families. To learn more, visit signaturechefs.marchofdimes.org. v Signature Chefs Auction Nov. 11 at 6 p.m.

Hopeful Horizons American Cancer Society is attacking cancer from all angles and giving us a chance to join the fight

By ELLA TREINEN | Photos courtesy of ACS

I

n the words of Brad Burk, senior executive director of the Indiana and Kentucky branches of American Cancer Society (ACS), Louisville is a gala kind of town.

Here’s one to mark on your calendar with a cause that’s difficult not to rally around!

On Nov. 19 of next year, the American Cancer Society will host the Hope Gala at the Omni hotel. While the Hope Gala

80

VOICE LOUISVILLE

| VO I C E -T R I B U N E . C O M

has been around for decades, COVID-19 forced the organization to turn to virtual means of fundraising for the past two years. ACS is eager to come back better than ever with the 2022 Hope Gala.

The Hope Gala is an opportunity to dust off your tuxes and sequins, indulge in fine dining, entertainment and gather together in the beautiful Omni Hotel.

Still, beyond that, attendance means

coming together in the battle against cancer.

“It lifts everybody to know there are several people in this fight because, at the end of the day, it takes everybody,” said Burk. “When you see that so many other people are just as passionate as you and just as willing to help fight this disease, it encourages you to know that we can end this disease in our lifetime.”

NOVEMBER 2021

For 108 years, the American Cancer Society has been diligently fighting at the forefront of this battle. ASC is a national, community-based voluntary health organization dedicated to eliminating cancer as a significant health problem. According to Burk, 78% of ACS resources fund cancer research, patient support, prevention information, detection and treatment. A dedicated community of ACS volunteers serves as advocates, engaging in public policy and contacting legislators.

Kentucky, especially, requires an American Cancer Society presence. “Kentucky has some of the highest cancer rates per capita in the entire country,” said Burk. “A lot of that has to do with lifestyle, smoking rates, obesity rates, screening rates and access to healthcare.”

The Hope Gala is an opportunity to become a genuine part of the mission at ACS. As part of the evening’s festivities, there will be a silent and live auction with restricted dollars that go towards a specific mission plan directed toward cancer in Louisville or Kentucky.

Chair of the Board of Ambassadors for the event, Jennifer Hinkebein Culotta, dedicates time to ACS not only to ease the devastating shadow the disease casts on many of our lives but to find a cure. She needs all hands on deck as she strives to make 2022 the gala’s biggest year yet. You can get involved by volunteering on the board of ambassadors to help with the event’s silent or live auctions or help on the day of the event.

Culotta’s “cancer story” revolves around her mother, but she believes most everyone has one, from her friends and colleagues to the people she talks to at the grocery store. Burk said that while many of these people have been touched negatively, they are filled with a drive to do something positive.

For Culotta, this means exceeding the $400,000 raised at the 2019 gala when her brother served as Chair. “I hope that through the money I can help raise for ACS, that ‘cancer story’ will end like a fairytale,” said Jennifer Culotta. v

KMAC Couture 2022 Celebrating ten years of art walking the runway

T

By SARAH CARTER LEVITCH | Photos by ANDREA HUTCHINSON

en years ago, an orange runway lined the second floor of KMAC Museum, and everyone dressed in white eagerly awaited the debut of KMAC Couture: Art Walks the Runway. With the help of local creatives Janice Carter Levitch Humphrey, Charity Ghali, Elizabeth Lococo, Guy Tedesco and Kris Thompson, or “The Fab Five,” KMAC Couture runway show hit the ground running. Janice noted, “The fab five and many others came together, and the first show was a tremendous success. KMAC Couture was well on its way to becoming an annual show, and it continues to grow and offer a platform for artists to showcase their talents. To all the artists out there, keep creating! What you do is remarkable and important.

VOICE Louisville is once again proud to be the exclusive media sponsor for KMAC Couture.”

Co-Chair for KMAC Couture 2022 Lee Middendorf remembered how she “was awestruck by the amazing creativity of the artists and the incredible vision it took to put on an event like that in Louisville. I’d never seen anything quite like it, and it still stands alone on the Louisville charitable landscape.”

Seeing the overwhelming response from the community prompted KMAC Museum to move the runway show out onto Main Street in 2014 to seat more people and pay homage to the traditional fashion week runway shows held in tents. Christopher Welsh, a co-chair for the upcoming KMAC Couture 2022 10th Anniversary Show, reflected on the show’s growth: 84

VOICE LOUISVILLE

| VO I C E -T R I B U N E . C O M

NOVEMBER 2021

“We’re seating 850 people now, and by the time we add the artists, models, hairdressers, photographers, etc., we easily have 1,000 people on that night. It’s been amazing to watch it grow. We have people submitting from other parts of the country, and we’re sending out submission packets to universities across the country. We even had an artist from overseas.”

As the biggest fundraising event for KMAC Museum, KMAC Couture brings together a unique community.

Kris Thompson, a committee member and artist of KMAC Couture, noted that “we rely on our generous sponsors each year to put on the event, including Blue Grass MOTORSPORT, Audi Louisville, Churchill Downs, Hermitage Farm and Brown Forman. Being involved with KMAC Museum is like being a part of a big family. The proceeds from KMAC Couture help to fund our exciting exhibitions and education programs. We couldn’t put on this event without our community of Louisville artists, sponsors, museum-goers and supporters. KMAC Couture brings folks together in a celebration of artistry, diversity and community.”

Curator and Curatorial Director at KMAC Museum Joey Yates added that “over the years, we’ve been able to add more and more pedigree and fanfare. We’ve turned it into something that people of all generations can enjoy, from high school students to retirees. It’s rare for one fundraising art program to get that many people to participate.”

After two years of doing KMAC Couture as a movie, the fundraising event will return as a live runway show in 2022 (fingers-crossed), celebrating their 10th year with an anniversary theme. Yates selected the theme, commenting how “there are so many things people celebrate every year, whether that’s personal or universal. It can be anything from a religious holiday to a wedding anniversary. I thought the anniversary theme was a nice way to remind people that we are here on a significant anniversary for the event while also having them participate in that in a more personal way.” v

Jas Graham and Jessica Sharp.

KMAC Couture 2022 will be held on April 16 with a pre-show cocktail hour at 7 p.m., the runway show at 8:30 p.m., and an afterparty immediately following. Artist’s submissions are open until Dec. 4, 2021. For more information, visit kmacmuseum.org/ kmac-couture-submissions

Supernatural American: Part II Speed Art Museum lifts the spiritual veil through their exhibition that is guaranteed to send chills down your spine

By MELISSA CHIPMAN Anniversary by Marvin Cone.

F

rom visions of spirits to visits by aliens, the current exhibit at the Speed Art Museum, Supernatural America: The Paranormal in American Art, explores the ways that Americans have sought out and encountered the otherworldly. The study of the supernatural is necessarily a study of death and ephemera and of the limited time we have on this earth.

The post-Civil War artists embraced spiritualism in the wake of war. As they grappled with ghosts, the Afrofuturists grappled with outer space.

Each of the diverse artists featured in the exhibit professes to have had a paranormal or spiritual experience.

Some of these experiences resulted in the creation of the art itself. The exhibit features spirit writing books, usually in an unknown language, dictated by spirit guiding the writer’s hand. There are several drawings

by Frances McVey from the 1950s; the English Romantic poet William Blake was said to have moved her pencil around as he described paths that souls could take. Other artists painted or drew while in trance-like states. Chicago’s the Bang Sisters, repeatedly arrested for being charlatans in the late 1800s, are represented with their spirit portrait of a deceased wife and two daughters “dictated” by spirits. Many works feature “and Spirit” as co-artists.

One of the many notable works evokes palpable dread of imminent death. Most famous for the portrait American Gothic, Grant Wood’s Death on Ridge Road features two cars on a hill and the anticipation of a collision with a red truck climbing the mountain on the other side, unseen. A telephone pole that looks like a crucifix looms in the foreground. Remarkably, the artist’s study for that painting—a pencil drawing that is the exact likeness—resided in a private collection here in Louisville and was loaned to the museum for display.

One of the final works in the exhibit is The Thanaton III, a colorful schematic that combines mysticism and alien influences and features The Eye of Providence and two hands, with each being drawn from extraterrestrial being’s hands. Those who encounter the work correctly, according to artist and mystic Paul Laffoley, “by stretching out [their] arms, touching the upright hands, and staring into the eye – would be able to communicate with extraterrestrial beings.” Again, some of the most outstanding works in the exhibit invite you in.

Dust, from Thought Forms by Tony Oursler.

Some of the most expressive pieces in the exhibit invite you to have a spiritual or paranormal revelation. The Common Denominator of Existence is Loss by Dario Robleto joined Speed’s collection right before the pandemic. The sculpture is a wooden and glass display table that features a circle of 50,000-year-old extinct cave bear paws and human hand bones grasping a 19th-century mourning ribbon braided with the pulled audiotape of the earliest audio recording of an experimental clock.

“Robleto’s sculpture invites viewers to meditate on absence and presence, the ghosts of people and species that have gone before us, and the ways we try to conjure them in the present,” the label reads. “The artist brings together objects that evoke spirits both connected to the remains of bodies and the ephemeral traces of sound, arranged as though present in a séance circle.”

Dust by Tony Oursler is an immersive piece of art that features a suspended, magnified particle of dust as a fiberglass sculpture upon which is projected a roiling cacophony of eyes, mouths, hands and feet.

Raspy voices articulate seemingly unrelated words and phrases.

In his artist’s statement, Oursler writes, “Dust, as the Bible reminds us, is what we are made of as well as our physical inevitability. Surrounded by invisible particles, we actually breathe and shed minute bits of every human endeavor. Particles from Egyptian pyramids, DDT, the World Trade Center, pollen, CO2, spittle, viruses, springtime, Marilyn Monroe’s perfume, automobile exhaust, and wildflowers mixed with Chernobyl could all be floating around at any given moment. Dust struck me as a physical interconnector in a world increasingly dominated by virtual isolation.”

Maker’s Mark Lakeside Tasting Room Immersing in the agriculture and natural elements of Maker’s Mark

By SARAH CARTER LEVITCH Photos courtesy of DOE-ANDERSON

N

estled near a hillside on the lake at Star Hill Farm, the water source for Maker’s Mark whisky is a new tasting room, intended primarily for the custom barrel program, aka Maker’s Mark Private Selection.

Jane Bowie, director of innovation at Maker’s Mark, mentioned, “the reason Bill and Margie Samuels purchased this particular piece of property was for the water source.

Everything starts with the water.”

The building’s architecture reflects the natural elements of Maker’s Mark.

Architect Keith Summerour pointed out, “the stone is limestone from Star Hill Farm. The oak, the siding and the beams are reclaimed from rickhouses at Maker’s Mark. The Maker’s almost black signature brown is the color of the steel. We used a lot of glass because the room is looking out onto the lake, the water source for the distillery. The bar is pewter, which is the metal of the Samuels family. The arches are reminiscent of how things used to be built before modern construction and the shape of a bourbon barrel. We tried to make you feel, even if it was intuitive, part of the geometry and materiality of a place.”

To construct the land, Summerour added, “we used sustainable thought processes and materials in the construction and design of the building.

94

VOICE LOUISVILLE

| VO I C E -T R I B U N E . C O M

The building is partially submerged in the ground so that it doesn’t have a lot of visual footprint from the hilltop above it, where there are two large rickhouses. As you come down the drive and start to see the lake and the building, it has a green roof. That green roof is populated with a grass called little bluestem, which is indigenous to the Kentucky region.”

The limestone cellar tasting room complements the exit, and the lakeside tasting room provides an experience more immersed in agriculture than the distilling process itself.

Summerour noted that visitors are “pulled away from the mechanics of the distillery, put into this natural environment surrounded by white oak, and made to feel as though the outside and inside are merging with the large, opening doors. Everything you see has some aspect of bourbon

making, from the beginning to the end, which you are participating in by creating your own special bourbon flavor. I think that reinforcement on a basic level makes one feel almost like when you hear words used in a wine tasting to describe the flavor’s earthiness or origins. The architecture is attempting to do that.”

The lakeside tasting room serves as the womb of whisky flavor for the Maker’s Mark Private Select program.

Bowie explained: “Customers come to the distillery, they spend a morning or afternoon learning about where all the flavor comes from to make Maker’s taste like Maker’s, and in the tasting room they create a taste vision for their own expression of Maker’s Mark. We have created five different wood staves, making 1,001 combinations, and each stave is designed to change the taste profile of the whisky.

For example, our Baked American Pure stave is virgin American oak baked in a convection oven for 22 hours. When you finish Maker’s Mark with it, it pushes the whiskey into this bright, sweet, vanilla taste camp.”

Bowie continued, “It’s a blending exercise, and we dive into each of the staves and put a profile together with the customer. For people that love whisky and Maker’s Mark, it’s the ultimate experience because you’re getting to craft your own taste vision. It gives people a lot of freedom of expression in the whisky.”

Throughout the tasting room are subtle features accentuating this freedom of expression, the first being the bar. Bowie noted, “one of the things we were missing from the first tasting room was a bar, so we purposefully built a bar into this one.

We found that a lot of bartenders that come down to make their own barrel want to see how the whisky tastes when they make a signature cocktail.” Summerhour added, “If you look at the bar shape, the light above it looks like a racetrack, which is a tribute to The Maker’s Mile, a race that’s run at Keeneland.” Keeneland was the first customer for Maker’s Mark.

Tucked away in the lounge area is a library of Maker’s Mark Private Selection Bottles. Summerhour explained, “Those bottles represent a library of bottles that various partners have created in the food and beverage world. You can look at a bottle, and it might say The Astor Hotel in New York, or it might say The University Club Chicago. It gives the purchasers a piece of real estate on the Maker’s campus. I think it’s really special for someone to think that a bottle from their barrel is sitting there, waiting for the next year.”

Then there is the lake, a serene backdrop for the creative experience of the Private Select program, where all the pieces of Maker’s come together, from the agriculture to the finishing flavors. Bowie concluded, “The lakeside tasting room is magical, and it is a way to let people connect with the land, which is what gives us the whiskey.” v Maker’s Mark Distillery 3350 Burks Spring Rd.

Home Trends: Digs Home and Garden Decking your halls for the holidays

s we move into November, the holidays grow near, promising cozy fires and peppermint-flavored hot cocoa. The early winter months carry great tradition, from time spent with family around the dinner table to decorating our homes with wreaths, holly, or jingle bells to invoke the holiday spirit. Some of my most incredible memories of the holidays growing up are decorating the tree with my mom and brother and finding places to put nutcrackers and mini gold, sparkly deer throughout our home. These simple decorations create a space and time for loved ones to come together, for the most significant tradition may not lay in physical things themselves but in the moments they make. This holiday season, we spoke with Ben Palmer-Ball at Digs Home and Garden to see the assortment of decor they will be offering.

What can customers expect from Digs this holiday season?

We’ve always focused on realistic-looking, natural options for ornaments, décor and tabletop. That tradition continues for this season, but we’ve kicked it up a notch by adding some glittered, shiny textures to contrast with the natural themes. In addition to the traditional red and green decorations, we’re also featuring orange, bronze and teal colorways for ornaments and ribbon garlands.

What is your advice for someone who is looking to decorate their home for the holidays?

We’ve taken pains to source realistic-looking greens for wreaths, garlands and sprays – which might cost a bit more than you might find at a big box store

Will you be offering any sales or specials this holiday season?

Pre-COVID, we always participated in the Chenoweth Square Holiday walk around the first weekend in November, offering discounts and signature food and beverage items each evening.

Last year, the merchants in the center participated in a three-day event during regular business hours. We haven’t settled on a firm direction yet for this season – so our customers should check our website, Facebook and Instagram accounts for the final dates and times. We will be featuring daily specials on different merchandise categories: scents, linens, books, ornaments, etc., throughout the event.

What do you hope customers will be most excited to see this season?

I’m hoping our customers will be excited to see that we are still ‘all-in/all-out’ for this year’s holidays. It’s been a challenge ordering, tracking and receiving products, but we’ve stayed nimble and creative to ensure that our store will be as fully stocked as ever – despite the obstacles that the pandemic has posed. It’s like the Grinch tried to stop our holiday from coming – but we’ve persevered in style and spirit! v Digs Home and Garden 3905 Chenoweth Square Louisville, KY 40207 digshomeandgarden.com 502.893.3447

Rooting for Robert Louisville family fights the good fight for their six-year old son who suffers from a rare genetic disorder

By RACHEL PORTER | Photos courtesy of THE VICE FAMILY

L

ouisville mother Helen Vice gave her son and daughter a bath almost every night.

It was a time for the kids to wind down from the day and play together while she quietly watched her babies grow up. She never anticipated one of these nights would change her family’s life forever. On an evening during their bedtime routine, Helen noticed something that looked abnormal on her 2-year-old son Robert’s spine while sitting in the tub.

It was a small bump. Helen became concerned and knew something was not okay.

“I googled it, and of course, you see the worst scenarios. It was a couple of weeks of obsessing over it until we took him to the pediatrician for peace of mind,” said Helen. “When we first walked into Dr. Jones’s office at East Louisville Pediatrics, 104

he noticed something was not right with Robert’s head proportion to his body.

When coupled with the curve in his back, we were sent to get an X-ray and then blood work immediately.”

In 2018, Robert was diagnosed with Morquio A Syndrome, a degenerative disease that affects approximately one in 200,000 to 300,000 children. With this disease, the body cannot produce enough enzymes to break down mucopolysaccharides, chains of sugar molecules used to build connective tissues. It creates dysostosis multiplexes when they don’t dissolve, leading to severe problems with bones, joints and other organs. Multiple health defects will worsen as time goes on, including shortened life expectancy with little to no growth. “Robert has grown less than six inches in three years, and he may not grow

much more,” said Bobby Vice, Robert’s father.

With enzyme replacement therapy, the symptoms can be managed but not cured.

Enzymes only last 24 hours in the body and often are destroyed 90% of the time by antibodies. Robert completes his four to six-hour infusion treatment that reduces sugar build-up once a week from home with a nurse. The Vice family often travels to Nemours Children’s Hospital in Delaware, a medical center known for its world-renowned experts. They have the experience to diagnose and treat Morquio Syndrome.

So far, Robert has had three surgeries, with a fourth on the horizon. The three surgeries included the surgically placed port in his chest for weekly infusions, ear surgery and spinal surgery to fuse vertebrae C-1 to C-4.

This kept Robert from further damaging N OA VU EM GU BE SR T 2021

his spinal cord that most likely would have led to paralysis. His upcoming surgery at Nemours Children’s Hospital is reconstructing his hips, knees and ankles to avoid a wheelchair.

No matter how many surgeries and treatments Robert has to experience, it still does not change who he is as a person. He is a typical six-year-old that attends school, hangs out with his sister Anna and loves to talk to other people. “Robert is the mayor of the pool! Even the Kindergarten teacher said he was the mayor of the school. He has a smaller body with a big personality,” said Helen and Bobby. Although he may not grow much taller or stronger and wears hearing aids that he calls his superpower ears, Robert always pushes beyond things that might be challenging for him.

“We want to protect him, but also not mislead him and make sure he understands what his challenges are,” said Bobby. “We want him to know he can do whatever he wants in life.”

With the Vice’s eagerness to fight, they are determined to make sure Robert can do whatever he dreams of doing. Over the past three years, they knew they had to take action to support families affected by Morquio Syndrome everywhere. Their current goal is to raise one million dollars to connect with scientists and doctors to help them unfold new treatments and explore clinical trials that can potentially transform people’s lives. “We formed the nonprofit ‘A Cure for Robert, Inc.’ last year. We wanted to understand the market and how do you get things moving,” said Bobby. In September, the nonprofit held its first fundraising event at the Gheens Foundation Lodge located out of Floyds Fork. Two hundred thirty people attended and raised around $450,000 at the event. Then another $70,000 was raised afterward. “It is a testament to Louisville and to Robert to raise that amount of money and to how Robert has touched so many lives,” exclaimed Bobby.

With this current and future financial support, the Vice family can find more answers for not only their son’s sake but so many other families around the world. The next steps for A Cure for Robert, Inc. are to provide additional funds for world-leading scientists that will accelerate and further advance Morquio treatment research currently underway and to attract new researchers to finding a cure for Morquio. Most importantly, they will continue to be Rooting for Robert with the community of Louisville by their side. v

Giving with the Garden Passion for our community has created a place like no other, and it exists right outside the Louisville Metro Area: Yew Dell Botanical Gardens.

It started as the family home and nursery of legendary plantsman Theodore Klein, but the local community’s passion led to it becoming something more. That passion fuels projects like renovating our historic buildings, hosting educational programs, creating tests for sustainable gardening, and of course, planting one-of-a-kind garden displays. The natural beauty of the land soothes the mind and cures the soul.

At Yew Dell Botanical Gardens, our mission is to spark a passion for plants and gardening through accessible science and inspiring beauty.

After 19 years of growth, we have no plans to slow down.

We are pushing toward new projects to benefit our community because we believe investing in Yew Dell means investing in the soul of our area.

WaterStep

The WHY and the HOW

ounded in 1995 in Louisville, Kentucky, the mission of WaterStep is to respond to critical needs for safe water and health in the developing world and disasters by working with people on the ground to evaluate and implement strategies for success. These strategies include empowering communities with simple, durable tools and practical training, arming first responders with the equipment and knowledge to support those in need, and applying up-todate feedback from the field to develop other sustainable solutions. These efforts can mean the difference between life and death.

Living stories together is what defines community. It’s not just happenstance WaterStep thrives from the city once known as the “graveyard of the West” for deadly water quality and cholera in the 1800s. Our solutions presented today directly reflect the transformational solutions from those years that eventually made Louisville a global influence for safe water in the world.

Today, with a focus on four key pillars – safe water, education, disaster relief and health – WaterStep has continued to expand, develop and manufacture its product lines, a network of international partners, educational resources and geographic footprint.

By the end of 2021, WaterStep will have impacted over 5,000,000 people worldwide.

The muscle behind WaterStep’s local, national and global success is similar to the principle expressed in Brafman’s and Beckstrom’s book, The Unstoppable Power of Leaderless Organizations. “If you cut off a spider’s leg, it’s crippled; if you cut off its head, it dies. But if you cut off a starfish’s leg, it grows a new one, and the old leg can grow into an entirely new starfish.”

Locally, some people say, “I’ve heard of WaterStep. You’re the shoe people.” Yes, we are! At any given moment, shoes are donated at 150 drop sites and shoe drives, collecting and repurposing 25,000 shoes each month.

They’re then sold to exporters, eventually providing affordable footwear in developing countries. Any shoe can be donated, 114

but athletics bring a wider profit margin.

WaterStep makes about 18% of its budget from this business, “mom and pop shops” overseas have products for their markets, and people are healthier when their feet are protected. Many starfish in this story are young people. Their passion for making the world better and saving the planet creates the perfect scenario to gather shoes. The work has been passed down from year to year to their friends in schools, businesses, and neighborhoods. Shoes provide a tremendous number of leaders to spring up, and all of us impact lives together.

WaterStep expands its international footprint in similar starfish fashion by training and empowering an impressive worldwide network of partners and volunteers in over 60 countries. These Field Consultants pass on experiences so others can install water purification systems, repair local wells, build rain catchment systems, educate children and mothers on health, hygiene, and sanitation procedures and provide equipment for safe water, disaster relief and water transportation.

In August 2021, WaterStep launched an unprecedented attempt to begin a dream to impact the lives of people living at the second-largest freshwater lake in the world, Lake Victoria in East Africa. We partnered with

UPS to bring 630 pieces of life-saving water equipment to Lake Victoria to impact 1.7 million people. The long-term goal? We want to continue building momentum until the 30 million people living there will have access to safe water and sanitation in their communities, clinics, orphanages, schools, etc.

WaterStep Field Consultant Paul is pictured here working on the initiative we now call Victoria’s Hope. Imagine 37 beaches over a 300-mile strip of shoreline, each with a network of fishermen working in the business to provide for their families. Christopher, on the right, is sharing how fishermen get hot and thirsty while working on the lake. With no other option, they drink the water from the lake and get sick. There are days when they can’t fish, and income suffers. It’s a vicious cycle with no end. However, hope is coming, and Christopher will be part of the solution.

Now, imagine 37 beaches where businesses can provide safe water and sanitation for fishermen and their families.

Those of us in this movement call ourselves WaterStep Nation. Join us.

Hildegard House

Kentucky’s First and Only Comfort Care Home

Can you imagine being at the end of your life without a home?

It isn’t easy to access hospice services without a home. Can you imagine if you didn’t have a family that could care for you? Or if you didn’t have the resources to afford caregivers? Or had no insurance?

Individuals at the end of life without a home or loved ones to care for them are served with compassionate care at Hildegard House so that they may die with dignity. No one should have to die alone, and no one should have to die without medication if needed or compassionate caregivers.

Jack, an 80-year-old Korean War veteran with a stroke and cancer, said he didn’t want to burden his grandchildren and was afraid to die alone. Jack died peacefully at Hildegard House while his grandchildren were not caregivers to Jack while caring for their own families and jobs.

Louise, who had end-stage kidney disease, was admitted to the hospice inpatient unit. She told a Hildegard House volunteer, “I used to cry all the time and wonder what was going to happen to me, but I don’t cry anymore. This place is full of angels.”

The heart of Hildegard House is 80 Compassionate Companions, a particular volunteer group, who commits to a 5-hour shift a week, providing tender, personal care. When a homeless Vietnam veteran died, a volunteer wrote, “Recently, a resident died, surrounded by love, compassion and kindness. As his body was removed from the House, we stood like an honor guard and all laid hands on his bodywe said goodbye and thanked him for trusting us with his care. I guess what Hildegard House does is provide a way to create memories of people who are all but invisible, who might be otherwise forgotten. We remember them, and that’s what matters.”

It takes 42 Compassionate Companions a week to staff Hildegard House. They do anything a family member would do, from preparing meals, doing laundry, providing medicine and being present at the bedside. They are individuals of all ages and professions. They receive specialized training in end-of-life care, body mechanics, universal precautions and bereavement. This group of volunteers has become a community of compassionate friends who serve the residents and each other.

We are a home, not a licensed medical facility. A team from Hosparus Health visits our residents just as if they would come to their own home, for Hildegard House is their home. In addition to Compassionate Companions, we have a part-time nurse and nursing assistants at night.

The average length of stay for a resident is 3-4 weeks. The shortest stay has been one day, and the longest day has been nine months.

“To say that Hildegard House has been “an amazing blessing” is a vast understatement,” a relative wrote. “...the staff and volunteers welcomed Jeanne, with open arms. They embraced us with kindness and compassion during the final weeks of her journey and continue to share their kindness. She was constantly surrounded by love, had 24/7 access to listening ears, kind support and compassionate care.”

And a friend shared this about his homeless friend, “You took my best friend on his journey to rest and relaxation. Geoffrey so often told me how he loved being there.”

Know what is amazing? We don’t charge our residents a fee. We rely totally on the generosity of our community, for we are caring for our neighbors in need. This community is so generous! Thanks to all who support Hildegard House in so many ways!

ndoor-outdoor living unites in this year’s stunning farmhouse-style home in Norton Commons. This gorgeous, brand new $750,000 home can be yours through the Norton Children’s Hospital Home and BMW Raffle to support kids facing cancer in our region.

Each ticket purchased will directly assist children receiving treatment for pediatric cancer and blood disorders at Norton Children’s Cancer Institute, which includes Norton Children’s Hospital as well as the outpatient clinic and infusion center at the Novak Center for Children’s Health.

This marks the 11th year running that someone will win a stunning new home in Norton Commons. Each ticket holder also has a chance to win the first prize, which is a 2022 BMW X3 Sport Activity Vehicle from BMW of Louisville plus $10,000 cash.

The first prize winner will go back in the drawing hopper for the grand prize drawing so each ticket holder has an opportunity to win both prizes! The drawing will take place on Saturday, Dec. 4, 2021, as part of the Snow Ball gala, but you need not be present to win.

This year’s home features approximately 2,300 square feet of living space in 1 ½ stories including three bedrooms, two full bathrooms and a powder room.

With a focus on uniting indoor and outdoor living, the home features an indoor-outdoor see-through fireplace between the living room and side porch.

“I want the house to be comfortable and approachable, which is important given the pandemic our society has experienced for the past year,” said David Ramage, founder and president of Ramage Company, who developed the house plans along with C3 Studio and built the home. “This home has multiple access points to the front porch, wraparound porch and side porch, plus a nice yard space.”

Other features include a first-floor primary suite with vaulted ceiling, large walk-in closet and a free-standing tub.

The home features an open floor plan with 10-foot ceilings and wood floors.

It has a custom kitchen with floor to ceiling cabinets, stainless steel appliances and marble countertops. It also has a full, unfinished basement, 2 ½ car attached garage and a geothermal heating and cooling system.

Interior design services are by Leslie Cotter Interiors, in conjunction with support from suppliers and trade partners who have donated time and materials to the project. The winner of the home will also enjoy all the amenities of Norton commons including parks, green spaces, restaurants, retail, concerts and events in Norton Commons.

The community lends itself to social gatherings and getting to know your neighbors, said Charles Osborn III, managing director of Norton Commons. According to Charles, the raffle homes are some of the most recognized in the neighborhood and bring a lot of pride to Norton Commons.

“Everyone recognizes that even if they are not the winner, their money is going to be put to good use helping families when they need it most,” he said.

For your chance to win: Visit HomeAndBMWRaffle.com for all the details and to purchase your raffle tickets today or call (502) 629-8060.

Tickets are $100 each and only 15,000 will be sold.

For others ways to get involved: Norton Healthcare and Norton Children’s are not-for-profit and rely on the generosity of the community to support programs and services, hospital improvements, education and technology. Reimbursement from insurance companies may cover the cost of providing care, but it doesn’t cover expenses such as purchasing new equipment, support services for families in times of emergencies and illness, and facility upgrades, such as providing comfortable waiting areas for patients and visitors. With your support, we can continue to give patients the lifesaving care they need and help make all members of our community healthier.

There are many ways to get involved with our foundations, including: • Annual and community events • Volunteer opportunities • Sponsorships • Youth and teen involvement • Monthly giving • Subscribing to our e-newsletters and more!

Make-A-Wish® is in Louisville!

D

id you know that Make-A-Wish is right here in our community? For nearly 40 years, Make-A-Wish Ohio, Kentucky and Indiana (Make-A-Wish OKI) has been creating life-changing wishes for children with critical illnesses across the state for kids like Michele.

When Michele imagines herself as a princess, her challenges battling a nervous system disorder seem to fade away. Her wish helped her transform into a real-life princess and hold a royal ball for her friends and family at The Kentucky Castle. The day her wish came true, Michele went to the salon for hair and makeup, wore a beautiful gown, had a professional photoshoot on the castle terrace and was escorted by horse and carriage to a wish ball in her honor in the castle’s grand ballroom.

“I relish in that smile, and that’s all she has done all day,” reflected Michele’s grandmother, Judy. “I can’t put into words the joy and the happiness that I felt for her. This is her special day. Her eyes lit up when she walked into the room, and it was beyond anything I could have done for her. We are just so grateful and excited.”

So far, we’ve granted more than 2,000 wishes in Kentucky for children like Michele, but more than 400 other Kentucky kids are patiently waiting for their wishes to come true. We need YOUR help to ensure these life-changing wishes are granted as soon as possible.

Make-A-Wish is more than wish-granting. It’s a global movement of transforming lives through hope. When a wish comes true, it sparks joy which creates hope in a child, family and community. A wish experience can be a game-changer. For wish kids, just the act of making their wish come true can give them the courage to comply with their medical treatments, and research shows a granted wish can provide kids with the strength to fight against and even overcome a critical illness. Parents often finally feel like they can be optimistic.

And still, others might realize all they have to offer the world through volunteer work or philanthropy. Now more than ever, the world needs the hope of a wish. At Make-A-Wish, we believe in the power of a wish to come true. Every child deserves a childhood, and our mission gives a piece of it back.

During these challenging times, we all learned what it feels like to wait for hope, and we also learned that with hope, anything is possible. This holiday season, you can support kids with critical illnesses in our community by sparking joy with a wish – and creating hope for brighter days ahead. These wishes, and these children, need you.

STRONGER LIBRARY STRONGER LOUISVILLE

T

he Louisville Free Public Library Foundation exists to benefit, promote, support, and enhance the programs and services of the Louisville Free Public Library (LFPL). Since 1980, the Foundation has granted over $42 million in private support to LFPL and advocated on its behalf for public funding at the local and state level.

THE LIBRARY FOUNDATION PROVIDES SUPPORT BY: • Promoting community engagement with library programs.

• Advocating for increased public dollars.

• Fostering a spirit of philanthropy to meet emergent needs, secure additional resources, and expand library services through capital projects.

WHERE ARE WE NOW? Despite a year of challenges, LFPL has provided consistent services to the community.

Libraries are fully open, and LFPL is newly fine-free, eliminating a significant barrier to those who need educational access the most. Additionally, a renovated Middletown Branch Library will open to the public in November, providing even more critical services to the community.

Through the generosity of donors, the Library Foundation has supported LFPL during this time by making possible a re-imagined Summer Reading program, a successful bookmobile campaign, and increased funding for books and materials.

WHAT DO WE NEED?

WHAT YOU CAN DO

LFPL is the largest library system in the state of Kentucky. It serves more Kentuckians via a network of 17 branches than any other system in the state. Our libraries have the expertise, infrastructure, and materials to impact many of our neighborhoods’ most pressing issues – early childhood literacy, outof-school time, college readiness, workforce development, the digital divide, etc. LFPL’s experienced and credentialed staff have been working in these spaces for decades.

However, our Library is funded at 2/3 of the national average for cities our size, impacting the system’s ability to scale services and fully address community challenges. LFPL needs increased public funding to appropriately staff, stock, and maintain each library branch — an annual investment of operating dollars.

We must work together to ensure equitable access to library resources for every citizen. This means removing barriers to services – such as limited hours - and ensuring every one of our 17 library buildings receives needed repairs and renovations. It means equipping each branch with the materials and technology required to support our community at a level that facilitates measurable impact. Most importantly, it means ensuring each location has the staff needed to provide services to citizens who come to the branch and those who access LFPL through outreach, such as daycares and senior living facilities.

Community patronage helps libraries and citizens by encouraging engagement with library services, sharing information and resources, and helping secure much-needed funding. To assist, you can: • Participate by visiting a library, using services, and sharing with your friends and family all LFPL has to offer.

• Advocate to your Louisville Metro Councilperson and tell them why public libraries matter to you and our community and asking them to support this year’s public funding priorities.

• Donate to the Library Foundation.

2021-22 PUBLIC FUNDING PRIORITIES $1,000,000 to invest in books and materials.

LFPL must provide resources that meet the demands of our diverse community, particularly as more residents gain access to library resources through the elimination of fines and fees. LFPL can offer a current, balanced, relevant collection that effectively supports our residents with additional investment. $1,800,000 to invest in 22 additional LFPL staff.

This investment would expand hours at branches with limited hours and open the third floor at the Main branch (currently closed to the public).

New Trager Family JCC is Set to Open in Louisville in Spring 2022!

A

gift to the Louisville community, the new Trager Family JCC will inspire all as they walk through the doors of the modern and inviting facility on Dutchmans Lane.

The Trager Family JCC will be a place that brings our community together for exceptional experiences that will touch each and every person in a meaningful way.

Opening in the Spring of 2022, the 107,000 sq. ft. facility will welcome everyone in Louisville to a premiere health and wellness center, a state-of-the-art indoor aquatics space and an Early Learning Center (ELC) for preschoolers. Many activities for seniors, active adults and families will take place in the new Trager Family JCC including fitness, cultural, educational as well as comprehensive wellness programs and the Senior Nutrition Program, providing kosher lunches to seniors in a group setting.

All are invited and all are welcome. “The JCC is a unique place in Louisville with a rich history of inclusiveness that is more important today than ever before,” says Bud Schardein, 40+ year member of the JCC. A unique feature of the Trager Family JCC is a contemporary fitness center with three group fitness studios, cycle studio, full- and half-basketball courts and an elevated running track.

Another highly anticipated feature is an indoor aquatics center that will include a lap pool with six 25-foot lanes, a recreation pool with water slide, a zero-depth entry pool and a hot tub. The existing outdoor pool complex, often voted as one of Louisville’s favorite family-friendly summer pools, will remain in its existing location.

The Jewish Education Wing will house the Early Learning Center (ELC) and has many new elements that preschool parents are looking forward to. The space includes a secure, private entrance for families and an indoor “natural play” courtyard surrounded by 12 classrooms.

The Trager Family JCC will also have a large auditorium space that will house the JCC’s Arts & Ideas programming, including CenterStage, and will also serve as a multipurpose space for community events. A kitchen, co-working spaces and a café will be nearby.

The Rajon Rondo Foundation focuses on supporting strong programming and layering them with incentives for youth who strive to improve their grades, attendance and behavior.

Our Community Locker Room Project addresses systemic poverty issues by connecting a child’s effort to their ability to have nice, new things that hard work can deliver. Many youth between 8 to 16 have lost their motivation to work hard because they do not see the connection between effort and resources.

Our foundation has several locker rooms across the city: Neighborhood House, community centers and several schools, including Kenwood Elementary, which have many kids with poor school attendance.

This project presents an opportunity for the kids to earn points for perfect attendance each week, points for each passing grade and points if they demonstrate good behavior and citizenship. A student can earn up to 800 points per year to

NOVEMBER 2021

redeem new clothing, shoes, toys and other items. We have equipped our locker rooms with hygiene items that kids can get at any time without using points and washers and dryers for them to wash their clothes.

After our first year of implementation in 2019, we saw increases in attendance and GPA between 46-73% across our network. We know this works! The next phase of our initiative is to expand our reach across the city, and you can be a part of this. Please consider visiting our website and making a donation today. 100% of your contribution to the locker room goes back into the community to support the kids of our community.

No One Faces Cancer Alone

Through the pandemic and great flood Gilda’s Club is steadfast in their community

By MELISSA CHIPMAN Photos provided by GILDA’S CLUB

L

ike many nonprofits, Gilda’s Club on Grinstead Drive had to find a way forward to serve their community through the COVID pandemic. The major challenge is that their community includes many people early in their cancer journeys that are potentially immunosuppressed. While navigating the pandemic, mother nature had plans of her own. A series of catastrophic sewerage floods swamped the first floor of their building.

In 1995, the concept of Gilda’s Club began in honor of the original Saturday Night Live cast member, Gilda Radner, who died in 1989 of ovarian cancer. This community organization focuses on supporting people living with cancer and 126

their loved ones. The Kentuckiana location opened its doors on Baxter Avenue in 2008. The Louisville chapter has an additional facility in the West End that provides all services for free.

President and CEO of the Louisville chapter, Karen Morrison, walked VOICE Louisville through the building and timeline of the floods.

The first flood came and receded on Jan. 1, leaving the floors and carpets saturated. Later that month, on Jan. 27, another wave of flooding returned with the same impact. But the flood that hit on Feb. 28 was “a catastrophe,” according to Morrison.

Anticipating the heavy rains that were forecasted, Morrison and her crew bought sandbags, but “it was like having

your arm cut off and someone handing you a Band-Aid.” The last flood left the first floor deep in muck. “Luckily,” they were already closed at the time. Gilda’s Club had gone entirely virtual on Mar. 8, 2020, because of COVID. “We erred on the side of caution because of the population,” said Morrison. “We all said, ‘it’s just for a month or two, right?”

The flooded sewerage hit Noogieland the hardest. Noogieland is the playroom of dreams, anchored by a treehouse and supported by a costume closet, a craft area, a puppet theater and more. The top floor of the building reopened on Sept.

1, and the downstairs will reopen in mid-October. It’s still a work zone since the flood destroyed many youth support rooms and the exercise room.

NOVEMBER 2021

New hybrid groups and classes allow people to attend even if they are far away, even as far as New England and Florida or if they are sick or have no means of transportation. Anthem funded much of the new virtual programming for Gilda’s Club, including video conferencing tech in nearly every building room. Loneliness, fear and isolation are all a part of living with cancer which COVID amplifies.

To help combat this, volunteers and staff members have made more than 6,000 home deliveries of care packages all over the region. Gilda’s Club has provided tech hot spots, tablets and tech support staff to attendees who didn’t have the means to provide their own.

Morrison and her partner made a fifty-mile drive to drop off a care package for a woman with cancer. The journey led to a road with two mobile homes on it. When they reached their destination, Morrison repeatedly knocked, but no one appeared to be home.

Next door, a woman in the home opened her door, “Are you from Gilda’s Club?” she asked. She shared that she was the woman’s mother of the empty mobile home and her daughter was currently at treatment. She offered for them to leave the care package with her. When Morrison handed her the bag, she peeked inside and began to sob softly.

At first, Morrison didn’t understand why a bag of cookie mix, cocoa and a small art kit made the woman emotional.

Morrison quickly realized that the items in the care package were not the reason for her tears, but they reminded her that she and her daughter were not alone while living with cancer.

A famous saying at Gilda’s Club is “no one faces cancer alone.” But Morrison noted that pre-COVID and flood meant “no one faces cancer alone…within a 20-mile radius.” COVID and the floods have opened the virtual doors to the Club’s 189 events a month, services and resources to people in far-flung places and all around the country right here from a building on Grinstead Drive. v

w orkplace environment is just as important as the work itself. Berkshire Hathaway Homeservices Parks & Weisberg Realtors, one of Louisville’s largest real estate brokers, made sure to uphold this concept in their new 12,000 square feet facility on Herr Lane. We spoke with siblings and owners, Dave and Judie Parks to celebrate and hear more about the new space.

The building features 30 private offices and multi-use spaces for the team of 85 agents, 23 staff, clients and even people around the community. “Our primary motivation was to create an environment to help agents and staff work better together,” said Dave. The building includes extra insulation and soundproofing spaces for privacy. The large conference rooms unite everyone together, creating a space 130

for collaboration and peace in the office.

The Parks siblings realized how important both were during the pandemic.

“All of these private spaces are enclosed in high-end glass, so nobody feels like they are in a cave. There is bright natural light, and you are still a part of what is going on and can wave people down,” described Judie.

But when moments can be stressful, there is still the opportunity to escape to rooms like the quiet room for mediation or just a chance to breathe. “We try to keep people’s health in mind through things like our sitto-stand desk and even sit-and-stand conference room tables,” Dave added. “We are also hoping to be able to create a small fence area so people can bring their dogs or kids to work if they need to.”

The company strives to keep the environment in mind, with features such as the water bottle filling station, motion-sensing lights and front porch where employees can work or eat lunch. There are aspects amongst the building that are environmentally friendly, including potential room for electric car spaces if needed.

NOVEMBER 2021

As for the location, the Park siblings felt it was the perfect place to relocate. They have always had a strong presence in northeastern Louisville and Oldham County. “It was a piece of land that fit our blueprint and could keep the continuity of our team since it is close to the old office,” said Dave. The new office is in the Graymoor-Devondale neighborhood. “We built the building in a way that blends into the neighborhood,” said Judie. “Everyone understands we just don’t sell houses, but that we are a part of the community and want to be a good neighbor; it’s there for the neighborhood to use.” Graymoor-Devondale even has the opportunity to host their HOA meetings at the space.

Parks & Weisberg celebrated their grand opening on Oct. 1. “It is a testament that our staff truly appreciates everything we went through during the pandemic to get this renovation and construction done.

Our staff bent over backward for the opening and were so proud to be a part of that,” said Judie. Not only are they proud, but they are much more eager to work. “We

have already seen over 200% more people coming into the office daily,” said Dave.

With the help of Miranda Construction, Parks & Weisberg has made this investment goal come alive in a short time. “We feel like this is a solid company and want to continue the legacy,” said Dave.

Berkshire Hathaway Homeservices Parks & Weisberg Realtors work with three divisions: residential, commercial and property management. They are present in Louisville, Bowling Green, Glasgow and Southern Indiana. With over 70 years of experience as a family-owned business, they understand the importance of finding a place that feels like home. v Berkshire Hathaway Homeservices Parks & Weisberg Realtors 1701 Herr Ln., Suite 100 Louisville, KY 40222 bhhsparksweisberg.com 502.897.3321

Electromagnetic Induction Scary title, huh? But it’s something that you use and experience every single day of your life

By STEVE HUMPHREY

I

t was first discovered by Michael Faraday in the 1830’s while doing experiments with electricity and magnetism, both of which were familiar to physicists, but regarded as separate phenomena. What Faraday showed was that they are closely related. If you wrap a coil of conducting wire around a magnet and then move the magnet, an electrical current is generated in the wire. The effect is particularly strong when the magnet is spinning. And this is how most of the electricity in the world is generated.

Examples: hydroelectric power, wind power, steam power, atomic energy, etc.

causes a turbine to rotate. A turbine consists of a magnet which is wrapped in a coil of wire. Through electromagnetic induction, this generates an electrical current (a stream of electrons) moving through the wire, which we use to power our homes.

And this process is symmetrical. That is, if you run a current through the coil of wire, the magnet will rotate, and you have an electric motor. All electric motors operate on this principle. The challenge is to find a way to translate the spinning motion into useful motion.

Faraday was a brilliant experimentalist, with amazing physical insights, but he was untrained, and not mathematically sophisticated. His work was largely ignored by

the Physics community because he could not provide a firm mathematical basis for his theories. It wasn’t until some 30 years later that James Clerk Maxwell, a Scottish physicist, was able to show rigorously that electricity and magnetism were different sides of the same basic phenomenon. The Maxwell Equations constituted the Second Great Unification in Physics, whereby two formerly distinct phenomena were proven to be different aspects of the same thing.

His equations, however, were difficult to interpret. In fact, in order to provide a physical interpretation, he had to reintroduce that old chestnut, due to Aristotle, of the luminiferous aether, an invisible

substance which pervades all of space and allows the propagation of waves and the transmission of forces. At that point in the history of Physics, mathematical rigor and empirical success were ascendent, but one still had to explain how the phenomena worked, and this explanation had to be given in terms of familiar concepts. For example, at that point, it was believed that forces could only be transmitted through some sort of direct contact. The bat hits the ball and causes it to fly off. The ball hits the window and causes it to break.

The homeowner chases the miscreant and gives him a stern talking-to, causing him to reform his ways. “Spooky action-at-adistance” was deeply distrusted. But one

NOVEMBER 2021

of the greatest contributions made by Faraday and Maxwell was the concept of a “field of force”, wherein one thing can affect another even though they are not in direct contact.

The concept of a field was revolutionary. An invisible force can be transmitted through space over large distances.

How odd. In the late 1600’s, Isaac Newton developed his theory of Universal Gravitation. One of his most significant insights inspired the proverbial story of the apple. In the First Great Unification in Physics, he realized that the same force that caused the apple to fall from the tree also was responsible for keeping the planets in orbit around the Sun and keeping the Moon in orbit around the Earth. His physical reasoning was straightforward.

Suppose you could jump off a mountaintop. Where would you land? It would depend upon how fast you could jump.

The greater your velocity, the farther you would go. And as the Earth curved away below you, you would fall farther and farther away from the mountain. Now, if you could jump fast enough, falling toward the ground but never hitting it, you would go around and around, and become an orbiting body. Thus, the Moon is falling toward the Earth, but because of its velocity, it keeps missing, and just stays in its orbit around the Earth.

But why does it fall? Why does the apple fall from the tree? Why doesn’t the Moon

just sail off into space? There must be a force holding it in orbit, but what kind of force is it? Contemporaries of Newton, such as Descartes and Leibniz, tried to explain it in terms they understood, direct contact, and some quite imaginative theories were proposed. But Newton’s was the only one on firm mathematical footing that allowed precise predictions. He invented the Calculus for just this reason.

But he had no mechanical explanation for gravity. This generated a tension in the Physics community. Good math, bad explanation vs. bad math, good explanation. Eventually, the strength of his mathematical theory outweighed the lack of an intuitive mechanical explanation.

It wasn’t until the work of Faraday and Maxwell that the idea of fields was finally accepted, and Newton’s Gravitational Field was accepted. v Steve Humphrey has a Ph.D. in the history and philosophy of science, with a specialty in the philosophy of physics. Questions?

Jewish Community Center’s Arts Education Programs A glimpse into the artistic offerings at the JCC

ith an expansive tenure and notability in the Louisville community, the Jewish Community Center’s Arts Education Programs continue to offer dynamic opportunities for children to engage in theatre, both on and off the stage. First is their after-school program, ‘Academy,’ that serves kindergarten to eighth-grade students.

Program Director of Arts and Ideas Erin Jump noted, “we explore drama and all of its elements from acting, singing and dancing to the text side. In the end, it culminates in a final production that is quite spectacular.”

This year, the kids are doing Aladdin Jr., performing on Dec. 9, 11 and 12.

Second is ‘Acting Out,’ a touring theatre company that takes children’s shows to local schools in the Kentuckiana area. Within this, Jump is commissioning original plays based on PJ Library books, which are “stories that focus on Jewish faith or culture.”

Third, a new component Jump has implemented is workshops: “I wanted to bring NOVEMBER 2021

in artists from local arts organizations like Actors Theatre or Commonwealth to give the kids a different spoonful of arts education.”

Another program of the JCC, and perhaps the most notable, is CenterStage, one of Louisville’s longest-running theatre companies, with over 100 years of history. Every year, CenterStage puts on six or seven mainstage shows. Jump reflected, “I think something that sets us apart is both our tenure and our dedication to high-quality performances for an affordable price.”

The JCC’s Arts Education and CenterStage programs are open to the entire community and welcome all participants.
