Clarification on Karem’s In last month’s Highlander (July 2013), we featured a story by Eric George that centered around Karem’s Bait & Beverage and included some regional fishing history. The story, “Casting a Line to the Past,” stated that the former owner of the business, Karem Deeb, tore down his ice house, built the present building and began selling bait and beer. In fact, his business partner, Phil Karem, had been operating the ice house when Deeb allowed him to replace it with the present-day structure and to expand the

ice business to include bait and beer. In the early 1960s, Karem bought Deeb’s interest in the business and, later, the underlying property from Arctic Ice. With the help of his wife – and a small army of children and grandchildren who sorted worms from bins into plastic tubs – Karem established the business as a Jeffersontown mainstay. He sold the business in 1977, but remained as a part-time clerk for several years. We regret omitting the role of the Philip Karem family in the story. – The Editor

FEATURE STORY

Director of Education Dane Waters calls a group of girls to order as they begin a game during a summer camp at Kentucky Museum of Art and Craft. Waters has helped develop camps, workshops and other hands-on resources through her work at the museum.

Juggling to a New Beat By Jackie Hollenkamp Bentley Photos by Brian Bohannon

n recent years, Dane Waters could typically be found during the day serving as director of education for the Kentucky Museum of Art and Craft, sharing her love of art and music with patrons and fellow workers. By night, it wouldn’t have been unusual to find Waters on stage somewhere in Louisville, sharing that same artistic devotion while performing with various musical groups. Things changed in March 2013 with the birth of Waters’ daughter, Solveig. “Before she was born, it was 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. at KMAC, then 5 p.m. to whenever, it was music,” says Waters. “Now, with [Solveig] in the equation, things are a little bit different. It’s been a big learning curve, and that’s okay.” But even though the well-known Louisville artist has a new, significant responsibility in her life, the local art and music scene has hardly suffered a loss.

FEATURE STORY

Fellow musicians look to Waters when they need adaptive vocals, be it lilting and smooth, operatic or even robotic. Before Solveig was three months old, Waters began laying vocal tracks for an album by Another7Astronauts, one of four bands to which she belongs. Waters also started recording a solo album and released a single with Sapat, a local band she helped develop with friend Kris Abplanalp. Abplanalp says he has seen other people settle down once they have children, but admits the concept never crossed his mind when it came to Waters. “I think becoming a mother will change your identity, but I think it will add to hers,” Abplanalp says. “It will bring about more focus. What will be created will be more substantial and it’ll just enhance the outcome of whatever she’s creating, whether it’s art or music.” Another7Astronauts founder JC Denison describes Waters as one of the hardest working and most focused musicians he’s ever worked with, calling her “creative as hell” and not afraid of challenges. “A7A covered Laurie Anderson’s ‘Oh Superman,’ and Dane instantly figured out how to modify her voice so that she could simulate the robotic tone of Anderson’s voice for the recording,” Denison says. “She just knows how to attack obstacles in creative and beautiful ways.” Denison has no fear that Waters will step back from the music scene. In fact, he says her new role as mother can only help. “It was a wonder to watch as the little one [Solveig] mostly kept still and observed and absorbed the music and held on as her mother did what she does best,” Denison says. “I’m sure her new little darling daughter will have an impact on her, whether it’s on her lyrics – which can very often get into some tantalizing supernatural territory – or work schedule, or zest for creating art and music in a world in which she now can watch her daughter grow up.” Waters’ work at KMAC may also adapt to a world now seen through the eyes of a parent. “It’ll be interesting Photos: brianbohannon.com Waters performs on stage with guitarist Joey Conroy (not picto hear her ideas tured) at the Haymarket Whiskey Bar during an experimental coming out of having music festival held there in June. a child,” says Julie Gross, KMAC’s communications director. “She’s always open to new ideas. That’s always exciting because [being a new mom] would be a way to come up with new ways of reaching audiences.” Gross says most of the staff at KMAC rely on Waters’ ingenuity and experience in helping educate the 3,000 students that walk through KMAC’s doors each year.

in spreading art education and appreciation throughout Kentucky’s schools is also valued. Waters’ own appreciation of art was discovered at an early age. Born and raised in Louisville, Waters left home after high school to earn a bachelor’s degree in studio art from Bryn Mawr College in Pennsylvania. She also studied at the École Nationale Supérieure des Beaux-Arts in Paris. While in school, her formal studies focused on oil painting and bronze casting. She later developed an interest in encaustic painting, a type of wax painting.

DryDen, Ink. By MACk DryDen

Tim Webb, Owner

High Levels of Uncouthaphin

ILLUSTRATION: MACK DRYDEN

fter an extensive walking survey of The Highlands, I’ve made a startling scientific discovery: Bud Light “beer” and Marlboro cigarettes both contain a chemical that forces their consumers to throw their empty containers directly into the street. Numerous studies reveal that bad behavior is caused by syndromes, disorders and diseases, so these prolific litterers obviously have an as-yet-identified medical condition. I’m confident that researchers will soon discover a new brain chemical – uncouthaphin, or ignoramazone – that will absolve them of any personal responsibility. A support group will no doubt form, and the Association for Society’s Sadly Hardheaded Oafs and Louts of Epic Slovenliness – whose acronym is already in common use – will decry the way the “neat freaks” of the world castigate them for their genetically determined trashiness. Some would argue that Bud Light’s sole redeeming quality – that it gets you drunk – is the reason the consumer loses any sense of social responsibility when he or she drinks the alcohol-laced fizzy water. But other brands have the same effect, and I rarely see them flattened beside the curb. (Ironically, I see over-served fans of Bud Light flattened beside the curb in the Baxter Avenue bar district fairly often). So what’s the explanation? Could it be that only one member of the Association is driving around The Highlands tossing his cans out the window? I doubt it. I think researchers will someday discover that habitual drinkers of cricket-urine-based beverages like BL obviously have a number of brain conditions predisposing them to boorishness. Smoking cigarettes exacerbates the condition, of course, since nicotine obviously deteriorates community consciousness as fast as it does lungs: “The world is my ashtray, and if you don’t like to breathe my smoke, Nature Boy, then go somewheres I ain’t, like a liberry.” And speaking of health obsessions, my wife and I try to power-walk every morning, which means we do it about twice a week, and it’s fascinating what you can learn about 21st century civilization just by gliding through it at street level. In addition to the discovery of uncouthaphin, for example, I’ve found that the contents of recycling bins reveal an astonishing diversity of lifestyles in our neck o’ the woods. Some people, e.g., apparently couldn’t care less about the sweatshop policies of a certain billionaire and manage to survive exclusively on Papa John’s pizza. Others consume enough generic canned soft drinks from Costco every week to float a double-wide. After we’ve had a party, I stack the beverage bottles in the garage and bring them out a few at a time (okay, so I might sneak a few into the neighbors’ bins as well). Otherwise, our neighbors might think we’re stumbling drunks who do our impression of sober people when we greet them in the ‘hood. Stacks of bottles might also be an indicator to burglars that the residents are so wasted every Sunday morning that they can waltz in anytime before 9 a.m., step over our catatonic carcasses, go on a leisurely shopping spree, and even grab a few Bud Lights from the fridge. Oh, sure. I keep a six-pack in there for burglars. That way, they’re not tempted to grab something with a label they can’t read.

The Legal Aid Society’s tool guides veterans through the benefits application process. Legal Aid encourages users to have their applications and exhibits reviewed by an accredited representative before submission. By doing so, more complete applications may be submitted, reducing the need for supplemental submissions or appeals if claims are denied. Two versions of the online tool are available; one may be used by any veteran; the other helps veterans living in Kentucky find state-specific resources to assist them in completing the application. The tool can

he Metro Department of Public Health and Wellness is conducting a phone survey to gather information about the health of Louisville Metro residents. The questions have been approved by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and are used throughout the United States under the CDC’s Behavior Factor Risk Surveillance System. The Department of Public Health and Wellness has contracted with Clearwater Research of Boise, Idaho, who has conducted similar surveys in cities throughout the country. The information gathered will be used to prioritize the overall health needs of the community and inform the design and location of fitness campaigns, smoking cessation classes, and other such initiatives. For the first time in Louisville, the survey will include cell phone numbers in addition to land lines. A total of 1,800 households will be surveyed. Survey takers will clearly identify themselves as working on behalf of the Louisville Metro Department of Public Health and Wellness. People are being selected for interviews at random, and their identities will remain confidential. Survey questions will cover such topics as tobacco use, chronic disease, access to health care, exercise and nutrition. The data collection will take approximately six months to complete. Once data is compiled and analyzed, results will be published on the Public Health and Wellness website. Follow-up surveys are planned in subsequent years.

“YOUR” HigHlands familY dentistRY

ou’re out with friends. The weather’s warm, the drinks are cold and the company is perfect. As the evening winds down, it’s a bit hard to leave, each person wondering when such magic will happen again. Perhaps one even offhandedly suggests opening a place, just for the gang, and eventually for anyone else who wishes to join the fold. For a group of friends in the Highlands, that idea became a reality back in April – a big reality, complete with wood paneling, chandeliers, live piano music and a happy crowd with which to sing along. To reflect those ingredients and the inclusiveness of the neighborhood, they named their place Mixer. “A bunch of us in the group bought the building and then completely gutted and renovated the place,” says Curtis Hawkes, who co-owns the Bardstown Road piano and video bar along with David Bartley, Trey Heil and other investors. Although the group enlisted professional architectural help to design the structure – which in the last decade was home to a consignment store and a long-

time antique shop – the spirit of Mixer is the brainchild of its owners. “We came up with the look,” says Hawkes, who helped give the old building a bit of TLC with his do-it-yourself efforts. “I built the bar and the drink bar that goes along the window.” Hawkes, Bartley and Heil have all run their own business enterprises; In fact, two original investors, Jim Pfeiffer and Larry Mitchell, owned and operated a downtown club, The Annex, back in the early ‘90s. With their combined savvy, Mixer’s partners have seen their corner bar become more or less an instant success, with crowds spilling out to the sidewalk on warm evenings. And while there is seating outside, there’s plenty to do inside. “Friday and Saturday, we have live entertainment,” says Hawkes, a Seattle native who lives in the Cherokee Triangle with Bartley, his partner in life and in business. “Sunday, we have Warren Brown, who’s been playing piano since the ‘70s. He plays whatever you want him to play and people sing along and have a lot of fun with it. There’s live entertainment on Tuesday and Wednesday, and then a video veejay – lots of videos from movies and

Co-owners Curtis Hawkes, David Bartley and Trey Heil opened Mixer along with several other investors. The group bought the building from antiques dealer Kendall Scally, who lived upstairs and had a longtime shop on the first floor. The new owners gutted the century-old building and recreated the first-floor space to include a full bar with custom woodwork and lighting.
