WAGGENER ATHLETIC DIRECTOR BRINGS ENERGY, ENTHUSIASM TO HIS ROLE Writer / Angela Boggs Photography / Provided

Jamie Dumstorf ’s enthusiasm for his work as Waggener High School’s athletic director is obvious when you speak with him.

“Setting up the semi-state event was a little tricky,” because of the pandemic he says of hosting the regional event. “Unfortunately, none of Waggener’s students qualified for state finals.”

Now in his ninth year as Waggener’s athletic director, he explains how he got to his part two, as he calls it. He taught history and psychology and coached soccer, basketball, and track at the school from 2001 to 2005, then spent four years at Oldham County High School teaching history and coaching.

He also spent three years at Fern Creek High School teaching history and psychology and coaching soccer and served as assistant athletic director.

“I also taught for the Archdiocese, middle school social studies, and coached for three years at Sacred Heart School, and three years at Bullitt East High School,” Dumstorf says.

He returned to Waggener in 2012, and his focus is now on athletics, but he adds that he still substitute teaches occasionally as needed, although he is rarely in the 6 / ST. MATTHEWS MAGAZINE / JULY 2021 / TownePost.com

classroom now — only a few times each year, as the school system has a “good core group of subs.”

“Being an athletic director at Jefferson County Public Schools, there are no longer teaching responsibilities, but the workload increases the days in the teacher contract, the athletic director has 220 days, you’re still a contracted teacher but with an extra 33 days,” Dumstorf says. “Part of that is simply the main job that you become facilities director for all the fields, the same field in the stadium for football and soccer, and the main field for baseball and soccer. “ “It’s a lot of mowing, but it’s a great escape, to put on the headphones (on the riding lawn mower), It’s also striping and painting, and weed control. When preparing a football field, it’s about a 12-hour job, all the lines and numbers, so there’s not much time in that (the upkeep) for a teaching schedule,” he says. “My hourly workload increased significantly.”

He also says that “if everything goes right no one notices, if something goes wrong, the whole community notices, if there’s no toilet paper in restrooms, or the concession stand is out of nachos. It’s management director and event planner for practices, and equipment and game uniforms, managing officials and coordinating buses for road

games for players and cheerleaders. If away games, there’s getting tickets from other athletic directors.”

“There’s never a dull moment. But it’s easier than some, there’s a smaller number of students in athletics at Waggener, and twice as many at Eastern High School or Ballard High School. Waggener has varsity and a small junior varsity, and soccer has only varsity, some schools have more and other sports like lacrosse,” Dumstorf says. “But there are more staff too, like Ballard or Male High School. It’s not unusual to have 80hour weeks in the Fall.”

“The work calendar ends first week in June and starts again Monday after July 4, so that’s about four weeks off in summer but the grass is still growing, and has to be done,” he says.

“Accountability for teachers, professional development has increased exponentially. It’s work I love, but it’s less direct contact with students,” he says. “I miss that, not being in the classroom, I may see students at lunch or in the hallway until after school, then in practice and talking with coaches at games.”

“In 26 years as an educator, to see students successful in the classroom or in athletics, it would be hard to leave that behind. But also, it’s a big opportunity to impact lives in a different way,” Dumstorf says of his commitment to his work.

Although he did not attend Waggener, he was born and raised near Seneca Park, went to Holy Spirit School and Trinity High School, and had neighborhood friends who went to Waggener. Dumstorf attended

Xavier University in Cincinnati for his bachelor’s degree, earned his first master’s degree from University of Louisville, and the equivalent of a second master’s degree — an administrative license — from Indiana University Southeast.

“It’s like being an assistant principal. Being athletic director requires a master’s in education and three years in coaching,” he says. “I was on the path to be an assistant principal at Fern Creek when the position at Waggener opened up. I knew I would enjoy the opportunity here.”

In addition to groundskeeping work for the fields, Dumstorf also runs the bookstore and is liaison to booster and alumni associations and helps organize reunions.

Dumstorf is particularly proud of the

Alumni Association’s work in addressing the challenge of kids who may have food insecurity issues. Organized by President Lori Brown, the Association sponsors game day meals and a food pantry every Tuesday and Friday, with food provided by alumni, the community, and area restaurants including Panera and Plehn’s Bakery, as well as Dare to Care Food Bank. “Students can take what they need, no questions asked,” he says. There are also personal care items like toiletries available, and a winter coat drive.

Schools, St. Matthews Elementary, and Barret Traditional Middle School.

The City of St. Matthews partnered with Waggener and former city councilman Pat Wissing to help match funds to renovate the walking/running track at the stadium in Summer 2017. “Our biggest project,” Dumstorf says. The 400-meter, eight-lane track with new rubberized surface was gifted to JCPS by the city of St. Matthews. The gates are open for the community to use for exercise when there are no Waggener sports events. The track also used by Our Lady of Lourdes, Holy Spirit, and Holy Trinity

“Growing up in the Seneca Park area, I’m a St. Matthews guy,” Dumstorf says. “It felt like things were left undone. It was the first school where I was head coach, so it was an easy sell going back to the opportunity.

Former principal Katy Zeitz took that and ran with it. And Principal Sarah Hitchings is great, she’s a collegiate also, a Bellarmine graduate, she gets that sports impact kids lives. We hope to grow the program and bring in more students.”

“I know that the community is thankful and appreciative for the track access and we couldn’t do it without Mayor Richard Tonini,” he says.

The Alumni Association also sponsored a memorial that honors veterans, including eight alumni killed or missing in Vietnam. It was dedicated on Memorial Day in 2018.

KENTUCKY SHAKESPEARE ORGANIZATION KEEPS PLAYWRIGHT’S SPIRIT ALIVE

away in 1979, yet his memory lives on as the theater in Central Park has been dedicated to him and is known as the C. Douglas Ramey Amphitheater.

According to Matt Wallace, Kentucky Shakespeare’s producing artistic director, the idea to present the Shakespearian plays began in 1960 when the St. James Court Art Show invited the company to perform scenes from the comedy “Much Ado About Nothing.”

Shakespeare Festival in Central Park - 1960s Writer / Julie Engelhardt Photography / Provided

Shakespeare organization that makes its home in Old Louisville’s Central Park.

William Shakespeare is likely familiar to all of us as we may have studied his work in school, recited a monologue from or performed in one of his plays, or had the opportunity to see a stage performance of his work.

Kentucky Shakespeare began as the Carriage House Players back in 1949 as a scene study group founded by C. Douglas Ramey. Ramey hailed from Johnson County, Kentucky, moving to Louisville as a government worker during the Depression.

He became a well-respected actor, director Our state is fortunate to have a company of and producer, bringing theater to life for actors, costumers, technicians, directors and three decades in our area. Besides founding producers who bring the works of the Bard the Carriage House Players, Ramey to life every year, free to the public. They organized the Paintsville Little Theater and are members of the long-running Kentucky the Clarksville Little Theater. He passed 10 / JULY 2021

“That was the seed for free Shakespeare in the Park,” Wallace says. “Then in the following year, Ramey produced a threeshow season and called it a festival, which was the beginning of what patrons can see today. This is our 61st year. We believe Shakespeare belongs to everyone, not just those who can afford a ticket. For us it’s all about removing barriers between people and art, in many different ways.”

There are “three buckets” to what the company presents. This includes their educational programs for students ages three and older, their community outreach, and their free Shakespeare in the Park presentations.

Complex in La Grange. I’m in my 13th year of being the volunteer facilitator of that program,” he says. “We have an inmate ensemble there and we produce a Shakespeare play over the course of an entire year.”

restrictions placed upon large gatherings, Kentucky Shakespeare served 71,000 students in 97 counties across the region, bringing their actors to schools for inperson performances. “We’re the most comprehensive in-school arts education provider in Kentucky,” Wallace says.

Once the pandemic hit, the company switched their educational programs to virtual and digital formats. Although they didn’t have the opportunity to do live performances, they were still able to serve 40,000 students in 42 counties in 2020.

The company’s community outreach programs are quite inspiring. They have their nationally recognized Shakespeare with Veterans program, their Shakespeare Behind Bars program, Survivorship

Shakespeare, and their Touring Arts for Immigrants and Refugees.

The Shakespeare with Veterans program is in its fifth year, with Kentucky Shakespeare partnering with the Louisville Veterans Center. “Amy Attaway, our Associate Artistic Director, is the facilitator of that program,” Wallace says. “They meet weekly, and after a year, they present their work on our stage in the park. It’s a band of brothers and sisters that meet as a support group, a group where they learn about themselves and connect with others.” The program received national and international attention as it was featured on BBC Worldwide and in the Huffington Post.

“Shakespeare Behind Bars is actually a very unique program celebrating twenty-five years at the Luther Luckett Correctional

The program not about the inmates being actors, Wallace says. It’s more of a therapeutic program taking in accountability and ultimately reducing recidivism.

Survivorship Shakespeare is a program the company started a few years ago to work with those impacted by cancer. They began by partnering with Norton Cancer Institute and now it’s a summer program they offer through Gilda’s Club.

Their Touring Arts for Immigrants and Refugees program began as a non-verbal clown show based on a Shakespeare play.

“This year we actually pivoted and took two of our popular programs for young students, Bard Buddies and Fairy Tales from Around the World, and we adapted them to Spanish. We provide them for places such as

the Backside Learning Center at Churchill Downs,” Wallace says.

In the spirit of reaching out to a wide number of communities, Kentucky Shakespeare presents a springtime tour each year of one of their plays in an abridged format. This past spring, from April 17 to May 28, the company performed a ninetyminute version of ‘Romeo and Juliet.’ These free performances ‘pop up’ at 25 parks in the Kentuckiana area, and beyond. Some of the parks they visited were The Maples Park in Crestwood, Big Four Station Park in Jeffersonville, Indiana, Norton Commons in Prospect, and at the Abraham Lincoln Birthplace National Historical Park in

Hodgenville.

Once summer rolls around, the company heads ‘home’ to begin their summer festival season at Central Park.

The free Festival began on June 16, presenting a live stage adaptation of the Oscar-winning film ‘Shakespeare in Love’ running through July 31. The company will also perform ‘Henry V’ from July 8 through August 1, and their Globe Players, a professional training program for high school students, will perform ‘A Midsummer Night’s Dream,’ August 4-8.

Other summer performances include ‘Late Night Shakes,’ on select Saturday evenings,

presented by the Louisville Improvisers, and from August 11-15, patrons will be treated to ‘Shakespeare in Dance,’ presented by the Louisville Ballet.

Although last year was different for the organization, they came up with creative ways to continue to perform. During the fall the company holds ticketed events as part of their fundraising efforts, and last year they presented what they called ‘Shakespeare in the Parking Lot.” “It was absolutely incredible,” Kentucky Shakespeare Board of Directors Chairwoman Elizabeth Cherry Siebert says. “It was probably one of my favorite

theater experiences in my life. Matt Wallace and his team came up with this concept to do a drive-in performance, but have it also be a radio program. You were able to tune in through your radio to the actors’ microphones, and they built an elevated stage in the parking lot across from the zoo, and cars were able to park in a circle. You were able to hear the actors, sound effects and music through your car radio. People in their cars were socially distanced in their vehicles. It was immersive and fabulous. It was a way to feel alive again. It was just a wonderful experience.”

Siebert is excited for what’s on the horizon for Kentucky Shakespeare’s future. One of their current projects is to open their new headquarters, located on Myrtle Street, just a few houses away from Central Park.

“Prior to this new location we were housed in ArtSpace, a Fund for the Arts- owned building, next to Brown Theater, and we were there for years,” she says. “We’d been

looking for a new home for quite a while, and then this property came available. We’re renting the facility but we’re renovating the interior for our purposes. It will have our offices, and directly adjacent to that is a storage house where we have our props and costumes. It’s the first time in years that our headquarters, since the Carriage House Players days, will be so close to where we do our summer performances.”

Siebert refers to this period as the organization’s ‘Golden Age.”

“We’re building a new headquarters, we’ve seen a lot of growth in the community, and we’re forming more community partnerships,” she says. “It’s the best time to be involved with this organization.”

SCOUT’S HONOR LUKE MCARTHUR UNDERTAKES COMMUNITY PROJECT FOR EAGLE SCOUT RANK

Writer / Carrie Vittitoe Photography Provided

Sometimes teenagers and young adults get grief from older generations for being reckless, whiny or irresponsible. The reality, however, is that there are plenty of young people well on their way to making the world a better place. One of those young people is Luke McArthur, a Trinity High School student who created and completed a community donation project in the spring of 2021 in order to earn his Eagle Scout rank.

The Eagle Scout rank has been a significant milestone for Boy Scouts since 1912 and involves several steps. Young people seeking this rank have to be actively involved in scouting and have earned 21 merit badges, including first aid, emergency preparedness, camping, personal management and citizenship in the nation. The approximately

50,000 young people who achieve this rank every year go through the same steps and workbook, ensuring that they have a strong and achievable proposal, collect data on their project, and then evaluate the project after it is completed. Their final step is to go before a board of review to defend or explain their project.

Luke has long been involved with scouting, and is affiliated with St. Edward Church Troop 175.

“I was in Cub Scouts since first grade, and I just kept staying with it,” he says. “In sixth grade we switched to Boy Scouts.”

For young people who stay in scouting, they often find that they have a unique group of friends they don’t see every day at school or in their neighborhoods. Luke has two friends through Scouts that he has known since he first became involved as a young boy.

In addition to friendships, the experiences a person can have through scouting can be fun.

14 / JULY 2021

Some of these are typical camping or hiking adventures, but others are more extensive.

One of Luke’s experiences was Sea Base, an aquatics program in the Florida Keys.

“We went on that freshman year going into sophomore year, in the summer,” he says.

“We stayed on an island for five days and had to bring all the food and water that we had.”

He slept in a hammock due to the heat and didn’t shower, which he says was one of the worst parts.

Being in scouting for such a long time made Luke think he should pursue an Eagle Scout rank. It was a goal he set for himself.

Along with his parents, Holly and David, he brainstormed some ideas for his project.

“We started reaching out to some people,” he says. “A friend’s dad works on the volunteer board at Home of the Innocents, and he helped us get contact with Brendon’s Duffels.”

Brendon’s Duffels of Hope is an

organization associated with the Brendon P. Bachelor Foundation that provides duffel bags to children removed from their homes who enter into foster care.

The bags are stuffed with items that children may need, including toiletries, clothing and toys. The organization provides the duffels, and Luke’s project involved collecting items to fill them.

Often when people think of Eagle Scout projects, they might think of construction-type endeavors such as playgrounds or landscaping, but there are a wide range of possibilities.

There was a long list of items that people could donate to Luke’s Eagle Scout project, including lotion, body wash, chapstick, earbuds, shower caps, underwear, socks, towels, blankets and journals.

“The goal was 100 to 125 bags,” Luke says.

“We ended up doing 156.”

Plus, he had surplus items, especially toothpaste, that were donated as well.

Lots of parishioners donated items and left them at the churches, but Luke also

Once Luke decided on collecting items to fill the duffel bags, he completed his proposal paperwork and got it approved.

After that, he spent a lot of time emailing people. He had to get information into the church bulletin to ask St. Edward parishioners if they would like to participate. Our Lady of Mount Carmel and Saint Thomas More parishioners were also involved because of the McArthur family’s relationship with Father Troy Overton, who used to be the priest at St. Edward.

The family was receiving up to 10 Amazon boxes per day for a while on their porch.

“It just kept coming for several weeks,” David says. “It was piling up. It was exciting to see that people cared.”

In addition to collecting donations, Luke was also doing administrative work. created an Amazon Wish List. In light of the COVID-19 pandemic, he knew some people might not want to go out and shop at stores.

The Wish List allowed people to support his project without leaving their homes.

As items came in, Luke put them all in the family’s basement.

“Luke did a good job of keeping in touch with his contact at Home of the Innocents,” David says. “She was able to direct us to what their needs were.”

David picked up the duffel bags for Luke and brought them home, and Luke, with support from his family and friends, moved everything to the St. Edward cafeteria.

“That’s where we ended up packing them,” Luke says. “We had people from my troop help pack the bags.”

It took several hours to pack everything before the duffels were delivered to Home of the Innocents.

He also had to learn about delegating roles and responsibilities to other people, which is an essential part of any leadership position.

David says he saw changes take place in his son.

“I think he realized, with the number of things coming in, he could only do so much with his own hands,” David says. “It’s through that leadership that you can inspire others. With more help, you can do more things. I think he grasped that over the months, which was great to see.”

SEEKING MASTERY

HOW YOUR DEFINITION OF SUCCESS IMPACTS PERFORMANCE

PERFORMANCE VERSUS MASTERY

Writer / Dr. Dave Schroerlucke Photography Provided

I hope I’m not being too personal here, but what’s your orientation?

Your achievement orientation, also called goal orientation or motivational style, refers to the way you conceptualize success and failure.

How do you define success? Winning a championship? Setting a personal best? Learning something new? Do you think of achievement in terms of acquiring new skills, or in terms of doing better than others and gaining approval?

Your response to this question says a lot about your source of motivation and tolerance for risk.

In this article I distinguish between performance orientation and mastery orientation, and investigate how each of these orientations impacts performance.

Achievement orientation is most commonly divided into two main types - performance orientation and mastery orientation.

Individuals with a performance orientation (also called competitive orientation or ego orientation) view achievement in interpersonal terms and strive to demonstrate superiority over others who are viewed as the opposition. Success is measured in terms of outperforming peers, and failures are seen as signs of incompetence that convey an undesirable loss of social status.

In contrast, those with a mastery orientation (also called learning orientation or task orientation) view achievement in intrapersonal terms and strive to develop task mastery over time as evidenced by improvement relative to one’s own past performance. Success is measured in terms of meeting or exceeding personal goals. Failures are regarded as a normal part of the learning process, and important sources of information on how to improve.

The table here offers a side-by-side comparison of the key distinguishing features:

20 / JULY 2021

PERFORMANCE ORIENTATION

MASTERY ORIENTATION

Interpersonal view of achievement

Intrapersonal view of achievement

Comparison to others’ performance

Comparison to own past performance

Goal is to demonstrate superiority

Goal is to learn or improve skills

Success is outperforming others

Success is meeting personal goals

Failure is a sign of incompetence

Failure provides helpful feedback

Challenges are threats to be avoided

Challenges are actively sought out

The simplest, most concise way of explaining the difference is as follows: Those with a mastery orientation seek to improve their competence, while those with a performance orientation seek to prove their competence.

WEIGHING THE PROS AND CONS Research in both sport and educational psychology has repeatedly demonstrated that the performance-mastery dichotomy helps

predict important differences with respect to how individuals experience training and competition, as well as how they respond to performance challenges and competitive stress.

Individuals with a mastery orientation tend to display greater intrinsic motivation and task interest, positive mood and affective states, increased effort and persistence in the face of difficulty, higher frequency and intensity of flow experiences (being in the zone), and better overall performance.

Those with a performance orientation, on the other hand, tend to

be more vulnerable to negative affective states, competitive anxiety, thoughts of escape or withdrawal, and self-handicapping behaviors, particularly when faced with the prospect of loss or failure.

These stark differences have been attributed to the fact that performance-oriented individuals are more interested in appearing competent than actually being competent. Because they perceive losing as a threat to their sense of self-worth, they are highly sensitive to social cues and are more likely to look for ways to avoid situations in which the level of challenge might exceed their ability.

In the case of mastery orientation, motivation and engagement are driven more by intrinsic interest in the task itself than ego-centered needs for approval and social status. Thus, mastery-oriented individuals are generally considered to be better equipped to handle pressure and other competitive stressors than their performanceoriented counterparts.

WIN SOME AND LEARN SOME The comparison offered thus far makes it seem like a no-brainer, with mastery orientation unequivocally being the better of the two options. However, before we jump to the conclusion that focusing exclusively on developing task mastery is best for all individuals at all times, let us not forget the fact that many performers appear to

thrive on competition and the pursuit of egocentric goals.

For those with a strong drive to achieve and the confidence to pit their skills against others, competition and outcomerelated performance goals can function as great motivators and facilitators of high achievement. But even in such cases, an egoinvolved performance orientation tends to be fragile and can lead to maladaptive processing in response to any sudden drop in performance or increased risk of failure (with emphasis on tends to be, which does not mean always in every case).

Let us also not forget that achievement orientation is a dynamic psychological construct that is subject to change across time and context. A performer might adopt different orientations in different contexts - for example, being highly task-involved and focused on mastery during training, but becoming more performance-oriented or ego-involved when competing. Similarly, an athlete might be focused primarily on mastery and learning throughout the early stages of a competition, but shift to a more competitive, resultsoriented focus in the later rounds when the stakes become higher and the outcome matters more.

Ultimately, individuals are capable of entertaining multiple competing goal orientations simultaneously, striving to both

improve their own performance and outperform other competitors.

Accordingly, some researchers have proposed the idea that, rather than representing opposite poles on a single continuum, these two orientations are actually orthogonal constructs – meaning that individuals can be high in both mastery and performance orientation, low in both, or high in one and low in the other.

Being high in both performance and mastery orientations might very well be the most optimal scenario of all, because the individual would then stand to benefit from multiple streams of performance feedback. Moreover, given that they have multiple ways of conceptualizing success, individuals with both types of achievement orientation are less likely to end up unsatisfied and therefore more likely to maintain a high level of effort and engagement.

SUMMARY What conclusions, if any, can we draw from the findings presented here?

supplement to help protect against the potentially negative effects of an emphasis on ego-related performance goals.

Rather than suppressing performance goals and replacing them with mastery goals, we should simply concentrate on cultivating an attitude that is summed up by the philosophy of “win some or learn some.”

By focusing on getting a little bit better every day rather than constantly comparing yourself to others or some external standard, the threat of failure begins to lose its foothold, and performance anxiety has no way to gain traction.

In the end, it is not about deciding whether you should universally adopt a mastery or performance orientation, but rather understanding the particular circumstances under which each of these two orientations is optimal. Per usual, the trick is figuring out the strategy that is optimal for you.

LET THE MUSIC MOVE YOU

LIVE ON THE LAWN CONCERT SERIES COMES TO WATERFRONT PARK Writer / Christy Heitger-Ewing Photography Provided

There’s something special about live music.

Outdoor venues in particular are fun because in the Midwest they mark the start of temperate weather, and after a long winter nothing feels better to many people than listening to a favorite artist in a live, outdoor setting.

This is precisely why, in 2019, the folks at Danny Wimmer Presents (DWP) approached representatives from the Waterfront Development Corporation to discuss the idea of putting on a summer concert series at Waterfront Park. Plans were in the works during the first quarter of 2020 when COVID-19 brought concerts to an abrupt halt.

“It was like this slow torture because when the virus first hit in March, we thought it was going to be two weeks of a pause,” says Deborah Bilitski, executive director of Waterfront Development Corporation.

“That turned into four weeks, then six weeks. We were optimistic, thinking that

certainly by summer things would be back to normal, then by fall. Events kept getting pushed back, and reality finally set in.”

Partnering with DWP has helped build a newly created membership program for Waterfront Park.

Thankfully, however, in recent months things have turned around. Now, more than ever, the public has a voracious appetite for live music.

“They have allowed us to create a pre-sale code for people who are members or join as members of Waterfront Park, which entitles them to a pre-sale code to purchase tickets before they go on sale to the general public,” Bilitski says.

“There’s almost been a mad rush of people asking us to start scheduling activities again,” Bilitski says.

They created pod seating so people can It makes perfect sense. After a year of having safely gather for live events. The idea is to next to nothing penciled onto our calendars, purchase pods that include people with whom attendees regularly associate, in order society is eager to have fun. to minimize interaction with people outside DWP has had a strong presence in Louisville of their “bubble.” According to McCurry, pods are similar to traditional amphitheater for quite some time, but this marks the first season of the Live on the Lawn at Waterfront seating, with boxed seats behind the first Park concert series, which kicked off in June. reserved section before the lawn.

They plan to put on 10 nights of concerts in “I personally love them because you have the inaugural season. your own space,” McCurry says.

“We’ve been wanting to do this for years at Waterfront Park,” says Chamie McCurry, Premium reserved pod seating, which chief marketing officer at DWP. “It’s an area includes chairs and is closest to the stage, we love.” is available in Section 1. Pods in Sections 2 and 3 are general admission seating and are 24 / JULY 2021

available on a first-come, first-served basis.

Each pod contains a minimum of four and a maximum of six tickets. A limited number of general admission lawn seating tickets may also be sold, with plenty of room for physical distancing. Lawn tickets may be purchased in any quantity including singleticket purchases.

The buzz surrounding this concert series is ever-growing as folks embrace the return of live music.

“People are incredibly enthusiastic to get out and start rejoining the community,” says Bilitski, who notes how sad it is that

the Waterfront Park events calendar was empty last year. “That felt so strange since we typically host up to 150 events in Waterfront Park every year.”

These events are the lifeblood of the park, as the resulting revenue is how the park is operated and maintained.

Because Waterfront Park is not part of the metro park system, it does not receive state funding. In fact, less than 30% of its operating funding comes from metro government, which means park leaders have to earn the remaining 70% of revenue to support the park.

“We try to do everything we can to partner with the community and local businesses in order to keep this amazing asset we have here in our city welcoming, free and accessible to everyone,” Bilitski says.

The community’s response to these concerts is a positive sign, not just for Waterfront Park but for the community as a whole. The first three shows, featuring Billy Strings, sold out almost immediately. They added a third show, and those tickets were snatched up within hours. Shinedown was announced the following day and sold out quickly, too.

If current ticket sales are any indication of what’s to come, Bilitski is anticipating a busy

“These sales demonstrate that there’s a real hunger out there for people to reconvene as a community in this park and around music,” Bilitski says.

McCurry is not surprised that folks are champing at the bit to get out and have fun, given what we’ve all endured throughout the past year.

“The world went from 100 to 0 in a blink of an eye, and people miss what live music provides,” she says. “Live music and that communal experience you have of celebrating your favorite song or artist with neighbors or friends is so special and one of the things people missed the most this year.”

faces in a long time,” McCurry says. “It was almost like this huge sigh of relief to feel normal, to be back at a show, and to feel that connection again. I’ve never seen more smiles in my life than I did that weekend.”

This concert series will likely help to reenergize the downtown area.

“Don’t ever underestimate the power of Waterfront Park to bring people from every part of this community to our downtown area,” says Bilitski.

The park draws visitors from every metro council district and every county in the surrounding region. One in four visitors comes from outside the region just to visit the park, walk the bridge or attend an event.

When the gates opened for the first Live on the Lawn show, McCurry was blown away by what she witnessed.

“Everyone who comes to this park feels like they belong,” Bilitski says. “They all see this as their park.”

as people partake in all of the downtown attractions, including hotels, restaurants and shops. The first concert of the series attracted people from 28 different states, including California and New York. That proves not only society’s excitement to travel again, but also fans’ devotion to going long distances in order to experience their favorite band live.

“That also goes to show that Louisville is a true tourist destination,” McCurry says.

Though this is the inaugural season, event leaders plan to put on the Live on the Lawn series for many years to come.

“We’re incredibly excited about this longterm partnership that will bring live events to the lawn,” McCurry says.

Lock well and shake for 7-10 minutes until the ingredients have hardened. Once it’s done, you can let it set a little more in the freezer while you make homemade chocolate chip cookies to create your own homemade ice cream sandwiches!

There are lots of fun ways to celebrate this month, but, if in the end, you’d rather just try a different kind of ice cream each day of the month of July, we get it. Because remember, we all scream for ice cream!

to dentists looking to provide anxiety-free experiences.

Today, more than 50 million Americans refuse to see a dentist due to dental fear and anxiety. Dentists trained by the A.M.I.I. East (Academy of Minimally Invasive Implantology East) are looking to ease those fears by learning the latest in advanced protocols, minimizing surgeries, shortening recovery times and for patient comfort dentistry.

“Patients say they healed faster and had no side effects like severe swelling or infection,” Crawford says. “Now many of our certified clinicians are finding that their patients who have previously been reluctant to accept treatments due to fear are now saying ‘yes’ because of the [positive] testimonials they have heard.”

Dental patients always want to seek out the best possible care, they also want to avoid invasive procedures. Now more than ever, dental professionals are providing new treatment options that support minimal bone resorption or reduced chance of infections. This results in patients experiencing less extensive surgeries and makes the treatments less painful and more affordable.

“After earning years of trust from the great clinicians we served, we have become the resource for people in the dental industry,” says Beam True, Co-Founder of the A.M.I.I. East. Beam together with Jim Crawford, Executive Director, provide extensive training TownePost.com / JULY 2021 / ST. MATTHEWS MAGAZINE / 35

True, Crawford, and the clinical faculty team at A.M.I.I. East continue to seek the latest, patient-focused solutions for providers all over the Midwest and East Coast, and they are committed to supporting the clinical team at the forefront of patient-centered practices.

“We’ve been helping experienced clinicians during the certification process after their intensive clinical training,” Beam says. “These clinicians are highly recognized by other peers and become top-rated within their communities.”

Ask your dentist if they have been certified by A.M.I.I. East for surgical procedures such as extraction and dental implants or contact the featured local dentist on this page.

GET YOUR ANNUAL CREDIT CARD FEE WAIVED WITH THIS SIMPLE SCRIPT Writer / Rachel Richards Photography Provided

Credit cards. They can be our best friend or our worst enemy. While the sign-up bonuses and reward points are fantastic, there is also a downside. Exorbitant interest rates and annual fees can easily cancel out those benefits.

The good news is that it might be possible to talk your way out of paying your annual credit card fee. Don’t get me wrong, this script isn’t foolproof, but it doesn’t hurt to ask, right? With these tips and script, you have a decent chance of getting your fee waived or reduced.

Tip #1: Call your credit card company before your card even gets charged for the fee. They can make a note on your account that you have been proactively calling in asking for the fee to be waived.

Tip #2: Be nice. These representatives deal with angry people calling all day, so it’s refreshing for them to hear someone pleasant and kind, which in turn makes them more willing to help.

Tip #3: Remember, the worst they can do is say no. This method has not worked for me personally every time, but it has worked sometimes, and I call that a win.

Why not try?

The conversation will go like this:

to help me?”

You: “Good afternoon! I remembered my annual fee is coming up soon and I’d like to ask to have it waived.”

Rep: “One second, I’ll check with my supervisor…ma’am, you are welcome to call in again after the fee has been charged.

I’ll put a note on the account that you have called to request this.”

Rep: “I see that upcoming fee.

Unfortunately, we’re not able to waive that.”

You: “I understand. I’ve been a good customer with [name of company] for [number of years with company] now.

I have great credit. I would like to get it waived because I really appreciate this company, I love this card and I’d love to keep using it.”

Rep: “Hmm, one second. We do appreciate having you as a customer. Unfortunately, there’s nothing I can do.”

You: “Oh gosh, I was hoping I could get it waived. To be honest, this would really help me out financially. I would really hate to have to close the account just because of this fee. What else can you do

TownePost.com / JULY 2021 / ST. MATTHEWS MAGAZINE / 37

You: “Thank you so much. I’ll call back then.”

When you call back after the fee has been charged, you will have the exact same conversation once more. Be firm and confident but as polite as possible. With luck, you’re well on your way to getting those fees waived.
