EDITOR’S LETTER

Get Educated in Arts & Philanthropy!

I

have been excited about this Education Issue since early June when Gunnar told me his concept for Ashley Butler’s cover: “I’m going to paint her dress into a blackboard wall, write the Lead2Feed curriculum on it in chalk and make her look like she’s emerging from it!” From anyone else I might have doubted the execution, but, being that he’s Gunnar, I had full faith, and I was over the moon when I saw the photo proofs. Like her father, Yum! CEO David Novak, author of the bestselling Taking People with You, Ashley is taking students across the country with her as she addresses world hunger in her Lead2Feed national service learning curriculum.

Each month, our goal at Nfocus is to get educated in arts & philanthropy and to share what we’ve

Achieve financial security with a plan that addresses risk first. learned with you. This month is a special focus on that goal. In addition to our cover story on philanthropic education, we bring you a feature on the value of arts education via Louisville’s outstanding Walden Theatre and their curriculum for children ages 8 to 18.

Our upcoming issues follow suit: September’s annual Arts Issue will raise the curtain on the city’s many theatre companies; October will feature five leaders who are empowering women in health, education, and finance; and November will unveil the next New Faces of Philanthropy, who are ensuring that Louisville continues to lead the way as the country’s “Compassionate City” exemplar. If you know someone under 40 who deserves to be on our November cover, please submit a nomination at nfocuslouisville.com. We couldn’t do it without you!

Evening in the South of France Boys and Girls Club Big Event

Derika and Tom Mercer

W

elcome to Club Riviera, an Evening in the South of France (via Louisville’s own Marriott Downtown). The Boys and Girls Club Big Event on June 1 commemorated the advances in the past year: the opening of a fifth club in Parkland, the exponential growth in staff, even the creation of a volunteer department, and most importantly, 3,000 club members who were given a safe haven. The Boys and Girls Club helps foster the essential youth outcomes of character and leadership, academic success and healthy lifestyles in the children of Kentuckiana. Clubs are open to kids ages 6-18 and provide a safe, positive environment after school and during school breaks at five locations. To maintain the program, each year the Boys and Girls Club Big Event brings together supporters of the club for a night of cocktails, fine dining and a silent auction.

Guests of the Big Event gathered not only to raise more funding for the program, but to celebrate all that it has achieved in the past year. Business First named the Club the 2012 Not-for-Profit Organization of the Year based on their growth and the positive impact the program has had on the community. Through volunteers and donations, the Boys and Girls Club expanded their summer hours and their avenues to enhance children’s lives by providing students with more classes, guest speakers, college visits and even mentorships with local entrepreneurs.

Jennifer Helgeson, President & CEO of Boys & Girls Clubs of Kentuckiana said, “I look forward to the Big Event each year! It is a perfect way to showcase the great work of our Club staff and the accomplishments of our Club members and revenue generated from this fun and lively evening directly supports our five Clubs. We are so appreciative of our sponsors and volunteers for all that they do to make this event such a success year after year.”

“There seem to be numerous non-invasive body contouring options being offered lately...which is the best? What is the Gummi bear implant, and is it better than other implants already on the market?” -- MLB

go online to sumbit at nfocuslouisville.com

Thanks for your questions MLB! We have indeed seen a recent influx of of non-surgical options for body contouring. Not all of these new technologies are created equal, and to answer this question, we must look at the individual technologies to evaluate which works best.

See the Light Feel the Breeze Come to the Source!

Tissues such as fat and skin can be affected by freezing, heating, or mechanical alteration of the cells. We now know that cells affected by these methods CAN be eliminated by the body’s lymphatic system and by the liver. The desired clinical effect for non-surgical body contouring is fat reduction and skin tightening. Most patients I see would like to achieve a bit of both of these effects, and preferably without the pain, anesthesia or recovery time of traditional surgical methods. The biggest differences in available treatment modalities is whether the technology can be used on all parts of the body, whether both skin and fat are affected, how deep does the treatment energy penetrate (does it work on thin and thick fat), and how quickly are results seen? Let’s look at each of these effects separately...

Freezing tissues (cryolipolysis) Limited time offer CAN reduce the number of fat cells VASER Shape package in a treated area, however there is no secondary benefit of chilling the skin in of 4 treatments terms of skin tightening. It remains just for $2150 as loose, and in some cases is actually stretched in order to fit between the cooling plates of the current device. Additionally, results of cryolipolysis are not immediately seen and require 4 to 6 weeks to become evident.

In general, heat or some kind of mechanical alteration of cells is required to cause collagen fibers in skin to contract and shrink, and thereby to provide a skin tightening effect to be seen. Heat and mechanical trauma can melt fat or cause fat cells to become “leaky”, thereby releasing their contents to be eliminated by the liver and lymphatic system. Laser, radiofrequency and ultrasound all heat tissues. Ultrasound heats tissues as well as induces a mechanical trauma that hastens elimination of treated cells. Laser and radiofrequency heat a more limited area of tissue as the energy beam is very focused and narrow in the case of laser, and very superficial in the case of radiofrequency. Only ultrasound (VASER Shape) allows both heating and mechanical alteration of tissues, and does so in a very broad treatment area of both superficial and deep tissue effect, thereby affecting all layers equally well...skin, as well as superficial and deep fat. The two ultrasound methods on the market differ in terms of how the energy is delivered, in that it is either focused or non-focused. Focusing the ultrasound energy limits the depth of treatment effect to a fixed layer of tissue and similar to cryolipolysis, requires weeks to see results. Additionally, laser, focused ultrasound, and radiofrequency are much more uncomfortable than VASER Shape (nonfocused ultrasound). And we love the fact that patients see VASER Shape results immediately!

Answer to 2nd question: I participated in the clinical trials leading to the eventual FDA approval of the Gummi bear breast implant, and I am really pleased that more women may now choose to undergo breast augmentation with this newly approved, fully cohesive and anatomically shaped device. For many women, a more cohesive silicone gel filler provides a more natural shape as well as a device that may enjoy a lower rupture and capsular contracture rate (implant hardening).

Face Value Kentucky School of Art Gala Heather Kleisner, Summer Auerbach, Meghan Greenwell

T

homas Merton once said, “Art enables us to find ourselves and lose ourselves at the same time.” The Kentucky School of Art Gala brought this idea to life by uniting those who create and those who devour art for a night that would forever tighten the threads of Louisville’s vivid

art scene.

In the space where the students at Kentucky School of Art create their future masterpieces, Owsley Brown III, KSA Board Member, and Churchill Davenport, KSA President, hosted over 250 local and regional arterratis to fund over $50,000 in student scholarships to KSA, now in its third year on Spalding University’s campus.

Amid cocktails in the gallery, Jay Jordan, a contemporary curator in Louisville for the gala via Canada, unveiled a portrait show called “Face Value” with different interpretations of what a portrait would be, including, a Serrano on loan from Lexington Mayor Jim Gray and a Jackie O series by Aaron Skolnick that includes mirrors upon which he drew her image.

Warm lights strung from the dining room ceiling created the kind of ambiance that could, and would, make you fall in love. Paintings hung around the room, kindling the conversations of guests and reminding everyone why the KSA is so vital to our city. After a lap or two around the gallery-styled dining room, candlelit tables guided guests to their seats, where the early summer night air grew full of laughter, clinks of chilled beverages and the unspoken passion for the arts.

Meghan Greenwell, KSA Director of Development, said the past year was full of exciting changes at the school. KSA added new professors, expanded the facilities and increased programming for the city. She said next year is on track to be even better with an exciting lineup of artists in residence KSA will announce this fall.

Corbett’s all Tied Up Bourbon & Bowties for Kosair

Tassie Parker, Andy and Emily Mayer

T

he 4th annual Bourbon & Bowties: A Taste of Corbett’s, presented by Northwestern Mutual, was a sold-out affair where Louisville’s hottest chefs were all tied up with supporters of Kosair Children’s Hospital. The crowd filled the patio at Corbett’s: An American Place and spilled over into a large tent, where everyone was sampling small plates, bidding on favorite silent auction items, noshing appetizers, and sipping bourbon drinks while listening to live music.

The list of participating chefs is a who’s who of Louisville’s foodie scene: Jason Brumm, Kathy Cary (Lilly’s), Agostino Gabriele (Vincenzo’s), Jim Gerhardt (Limestone), Geoffrey Heyde (The Village Anchor), Josh Hillyard (Quattro), Jeff Jarfi (Jarfi’s Catering), Edward Lee (MilkWood), Peng Looi (Asiatique), Fernando Martinez (Guaca Mole), Dallas McGarity (Marketplace), Josh Moore (Volare), John Plymale (Porcini), Patrick Roney (The Oakroom), Anoosh Shariat, Daniel Stage (Louisville Country Club), Levon Wallace (Proof on Main), Shawn Ward (Jack Fry’s) and, of course, host Dean Corbett. Clearly, the country’s hottest foodie scene is also the most giving.

This year’s event was in honor of 13-year-old Owen McMasters, diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukemia in November 2011. Many guests, like Ida Turner and Ryan Moorman, wore an exclusive Bird Dog Bay bow tie, tie or scarf designed in honor of Owen. For sale at the event, the unique anchor and crab-patterned accessories are also available at Fashion Post on Lime Kiln Lane, Cartwheels on Chenoweth Square or cale & cole in Norton Commons.

Like all of Kosair’s fundraising events, Bourbon & Bowties was enjoyed by a generous crowd happy to celebrate and raise funds for Kentucky’s only full-service, free-standing pediatric care facility, which cares for the children of Kentucky and Southern Indiana without regard to their families’ ability to pay. Many thanks to the chefs and their crews who took time from their packed schedules to donate their incredible talents side by side for the benefit of the Kosair Children’s Hospital Foundation!

Rite of Summer Yew Dell’s Farm to Table Dinner

Ann Mattingly, Paul Cappiello, Karla Drover

Dozens of Dollars

Y

ew Dell Botanical Gardens Farm to Table dinner has established itself as a rite of summer in the foodie landscape around Louisville. With Brown-Forman as its main sponsor this year, the dinner, nestled among the perennials – some vulgaris and some you’ve never seen before – is both a sight to behold and a taste to savor. Celebrated as a “special event very near and dear to our hearts,” by Yew Dell, white table cloths bedeck infinitely long tables set with local mini honey bears and wild bouquets donated by Yew Dell volunteers from their individual gardens. Slow Food Bluegrass partnered with Yew Dell to bring together quite the mix of youthful new supporters and the older guard who have helped grow Yew Dell for a long time.

And growing it is. Yew Dell’s Executive Director, Paul Capiello (who wrote the foreword in the new Junior League of Louisville cookbook lauding Kentucky as a place that “grows on a soul quickly and irreversibly”) said this fall Yew Dell will add state-of-the-art facilities to enable it to conduct horticulture research on sustainable produce all year round. “The whole research center is built around multi use teaching programs from kids to certification and lectures for landscape architects. We’re already getting calls from around the country about solar and geothermal energy.”

The $1.2 million research facility, for which Yew Dell is still fundraising, will include a green roof and solar powered lights that store energy for Yew Dell.

Capiello also noted one of founder Theodore Klein’s historic buildings will be a “nerve center spaced for staff work to support greenhouse activity.” Beyond the greenhouse and horticulture production, Capiello said the nurseries will produce plants to sell for research projects. When I asked him about genetically modified food, Capiello said, “What we promote is to give people information and get them to make decisions and back away from knee jerk reactions” about how food is grown.

Bend & Snap!

Legally Blonde: The Musical Launch Party at JCC’s CenterStage

C

enterStage at the Jewish Community Center kicked off its 2013-14 season on July 10 with a Legally Blonde: The Musical launch party. Guests bent and snapped their way through the evening, enjoying pink balloon tiaras and purses, drinks by Heaven Hill and “Elle-egant” treats by Simply Good catering. Kate E. Reedy, perkily portraying Elle Woods, posed for pictures with guests before primping for the final dress rehearsal.

The first annual launch party was sponsored by J. Michael’s Spa & Salon and Physician’s Center for Beauty. Jill Higginbotham, owner of J. Michael’s Spa & Salon and CenterStage Board Member, said that doing hair and makeup for CenterStage and sponsoring the launch party is a way that she keeps her love of theatre alive while supporting an important community asset. “I love it. I get so much out of being a part of the CenterStage community,” she shared.

Jason Tumulty, Physician’s Center for Beauty manager, explained, “We believe in CenterStage. It brings in incredible talent and [artistic director] John Leffert does amazing work.” Leffert has been with CenterStage for 14 years and has worked professionally in Louisville as a director, designer and actor for the past 20 years.

About the upcoming season, Leffert said, “CenterStage is excited to embark on my 14th season and its 99th season. We look forward to being ‘Your Ticket to Broadway.’

Once an audience member sees our shows, they are sure to come back.”

Following the final dress rehearsal and preview of Legally Blonde: The Musical, partygoers judged an Elle look-a-like costume contest and participated in a “bend and snap” competition while Suzanne the Chihuahua, better known to audiences as Bruiser Woods, watched attentively. Winners went home with generous gifts from Physician’s Center for Beauty and the satisfaction of being “a true Delta Nu.” Legally Blonde: The Musical precedes six other shows at CenterStage this season including A New Brain, Les Misérables, The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas, Wit, The Color Purple, and The Sound of Music. Ticket information can be found at jewishlouisville.org or by calling 502.459.0660.

She may be following in the footsteps of her father, Yum! CEO David Novak when it comes to philanthropy, but Ashley Butler is forging a new way to develop leaders in our schools and our community.

Lift a Life When Ashley Butler presented Lift a Life Foundation’s $5 million gift to the Children’s Hospital Foundation in March, it was a significant moment. As the 30-year-old Director of Lift a Life, she described at a press conference how this endowment, the largest in her foundation’s 14 year history, would help to establish the Wendy L. Novak Diabetes Care Center at Kosair Children’s Hospital. She spoke of how the state-of-the-art facility would ultimately provide much needed education and diabetes care to children and families currently without access and about how diabetes had personally affected her family. Ashley addressed the media-filled room to announce this breakthrough opportunity while balancing her sleeping 2-year-old daughter, Audrey, on her hip.

The scene is an appropriately descriptive one of Ashley. As a busy working mother to two young daughters (1-year-old Claire was waiting in the wings nearby with her dad), she often finds life to be a balancing act but one in which she takes great pleasure. Her stance was also quite suitable to her fresh-faced and delightfully unassuming personality - a disposition described by those who know her as “as real and down-to-earth as they come” - to roll with the punches and remain completely untethered in front of the live cameras. That’s not to suggest the hands-on mom always has the toddlers in tow for a work outing; but this event was, after all, a family affair. Ashley’s mother, Wendy Novak, is the namesake of what is to be the world-class Diabetes Care Center, and her father is the internationally celebrated CEO of YUM! Brands, David Novak – both present for the memorable occasion.

Together, Ashley’s abundantly charitable parents established a family trust in 1999 with an initial mission to provide scholarships for the advancement of Christian education programs. Their immense desire to give back to the community, fueled by gratitude for their success in life, served as a tribute to their family and individuals for whom they credit with inspiring them to reach their potential. Following years of significant funding to a variety of hunger relief programs as the David C. and Wendy L. Novak Foundation, the couple moved to officially change the name in 2011 to the Lift a Life Foundation, in accordance with their mission: “to lead the way with innovative programs that help people in need and develop leaders.”

That was also the year that Ashley, their only child, became Foundation Director, and the force with which she has thrown herself into the role is impressive. She affirms, “It is incredibly meaningful to me to be able to be involved with my family’s foundation after living away from Louisville for so many years.” Now divided into four areas of focus – hunger, education, juvenile diabetes research and family support, and youth and family issues – her objective as Director of Lift a Life Foundation is to identify Kentucky-based nonprofit organizations whose leadership and work impact those areas. Ashley explains, “We also have large investments with our strategic partners or what we call our blue chip partners

within each category. For example, Metro United Way is our Education partner; we recently provided funding to help support the No More Red Dots Campaign, a violence prevention and conflict mediation program; and we have partnered with the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation (JDRF) since 2001.”

Even while managing those established and successful endeavors, Ashley shares the importance of spreading the word about the Lift a Life Foundation to our community: “I don’t think most local nonprofits realize that we can be a resource for grant funding if their work and leadership impact individuals and families within our four areas of focus.” The grant application is easily accessible through liftalifefoundation.org and partnerships can range anywhere from $5,000 to $50,000. Since 2011 an average of 12 grants per year have been awarded to qualified public charities serving the Commonwealth with preferences typically shown for collaborative efforts among organizations and multiple year commitments. Always the goal is focused on helping families and individuals achieve stability in order to reach their true potential. “Life can be challenging sometimes and our desire is to alleviate whatever burdens are holding people back from being what they were meant to be.”

It is clear that Ashley Butler is where she was meant to be. Despite an upbringing that appears idyllic, perhaps privileged to some, her most apparent trait is sincerity. An effortless beauty, she has a generous and comforting smile and radiant skin that somehow always seems slightly and perfectly sun kissed. Of her photo shoot with NFocus she exclaimed, “This is fun! I never get pampered like this!”

The truth is? She doesn’t need to. She has a countenance that does not require the camouflage of cosmetics.

Her childhood memories are peppered throughout the country as the family relocated to several cities at the necessity of her father’s successful and storied business career, which includes the creation of Cool Ranch Doritos during his time with Frito-Lay and the now iconic Crystal Pepsi under his leadership as Chief Operating Officer of Pepsi-Cola North America and Executive Vice President of Marketing and National Sales for Pepsi-Cola Company. Born in Dallas, Ashley moved with her family to Wichita when she was four and then to Wilton, Connecticut, before settling in Louisville, KY, when she was in the sixth grade.

Ashley laughs completely unselfconsciously when I ask if she recalls the moment she became aware of her father’s influence. “It’s funny because I’ve never been asked that before but I actually do remember the moment very well.” She goes on to tell an almost enchanting story of when she was six years old and her dad was the head of marketing for Pizza Hut. She continues, “They were doing a launch for that animated movie The Land Before Time and I got to go to the premiere of the movie in a limousine with my mom and dad and Littlefoot the dinosaur was in the limo with us!” Imagine her ineffable confusion as to what to owe this unprecedented access to an adorable life-sized brontosaurus. “I didn’t

know what my dad really did,” she admits, “but at that moment, I thought he must be a rock star.”

“I didn’t realize his leadership capability until we moved to Louisville,” Ashley shares. “Yum! was a spin-out of PepsiCo which at the time, in 1997, was called Tricon Global Restaurants. My dad was invited to ring the bell for the first time at the New York Stock Exchange and I got to go with him. That was very exciting but we flew back to Louisville the same day and when we got back to the headquarters, all of the employees were celebrating and there was such a feeling of jubilation and reward that I could just tell that my dad empowered people and made them feel ownership and yet accountable for the business.”

Ashley exhibits an immense amount of grace when talking about her family’s achievements, but there is an understandable and apparent respect and gratitude when she mentions both her parents. “My mom is a very strong woman and the powerhouse behind everything,” she shares. “She’s my best friend.” Wendy Novak has a strong philanthropic resume and a history of volunteerism. She currently serves on the Board of Directors for the Kentucky Chapter of the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation having battled Type 1 diabetes since the age of seven. Of course the myriad honors and achievements earned by David Novak are well known. As CEO of the world’s largest restaurant company spanning over 130 countries, he was recognized as “CEO of the Year” in 2012 by Chief Executive magazine and one of the “Top People in Business” by FORTUNE. It was while at Christian Academy of Louisville that Ashley met John Butler, her current husband, and the two have been together ever since. The high school sweethearts were only separated by 64 miles of I65 during college while John studied at Western Kentucky University and Ashley at Vanderbilt University where she earned dual degrees in Human and Organizational Development and Political Science. Upon graduation she was hired as Marketing Manager for Southwest Airlines and shortly following the couples’ move to Chicago, was promoted to Corporate Relations Manager. A career opportunity for John as Director of Ticket Sales at the University of Louisville brought them back to the city where they met, and placed Ashley in a position to take a leadership role in her family’s foundation – Lift a Life.

Walden Theatre Stages Success Artistic Director Charlie Sexton and the Value of Arts Education

“I

was really thinking I would walk in and hand her the magical glasses like this,” a young student confidently offered her director of how she preferred to enter the stage. That scene of creative collaboration was one of many observed when I peeked into the Summer Academy at Walden Theatre.

Students were in the midst of rehearsing 1,001 Nights, and with lines fully memorized and sets constructed, anticipation was high amongst participants for the final performance that concludes each camp. This cast is just one of six that will star in the comedic play by Diana Grisanti this summer as the academy wraps each session consisting of rehearsals from 9am to 3pm daily for three weeks. In other areas of the building, students were attending Art/Imagination Camp and SkillBuilding Workshops like Playwriting, Audition Skills and Shakespeare Intensive.

“Many of the full-time students in our Conservatory Program started their experience through a summer camp,” shared Charlie Sexton, Artistic Director at Walden since 1999. Charlie has a storied history with the Theatre, having appeared in its very first production in 1976 under the direction of his mother and founder of Walden Theatre, Nancy Niles Sexton. The play was A Midsummer Night’s Dream and the production launched the creation of the first Shakespeare Festival by and for young people in the United States. Today, the main stage within the building on Payne Street proudly boasts her name as an honor to her legacy as a visionary in the field of arts education. Prior to the appointment to fill his mother’s roll at Walden, Charlie, who has numerous stage, TV and film credits as a professional actor, directed at The Wheelock Theatre in Boston and The Dallas Teen/Children Theatre Company. An opportunity for his wife, costume designer Laura Patterson,

26 >> AUGUST 2013 | nfocuslouisville.com

at Actors Theater coincided with an offer with Stage One for Charlie, bringing them back to his hometown of Louisville and ultimately, back to his home at Walden Theatre.

Of the Theatre’s infancy, Charlie recalled, “For a long time when we rented space at St. Francis High School our enrollment was very small and focused primarily on the professional track and getting kids into the best school to become working actors.” He credits their relationship with Fund for the Arts for bringing awareness and helping the school to grow. “We became cultural partners with the Fund in 1985 and in 1997 they helped us purchase this building on Payne Street which helped us appeal to a broader constituency and increased interest in enrollment.”

The Conservatory Program, with nine productions per season, has averaged over 200 students over the last 3 years. The Outreach Education program, which introduces theatre arts to students not exposed to arts education, has reached over 60,000 students in 500 schools over the past 10 years.

There are so many proven benefits to having children involved in drama.

Studies have shown that participation in the arts improves academic performance and test scores and it increases the capacity for creative thinking and problem solving. “More than anything,” Charlie continued, “I’ve seen that it helps our students develop empathy when they ‘walk a mile in someone else’s shoes’ and that will help them in any career path they choose. It helps them build social bonds and improves their self-esteem. No longer is the ultimate goal to develop professional actors, but extended exposure to arts education also develops arts professionals and patrons of the arts into adulthood.”

“Our students develop empathy when they ‘walk a mile in someone else’s shoes’” ­— Charlie Sexton

Walden Theatre’s alumni roster lists an impressive number of recognizable names in show business, including Jennifer Lawrence. Just recently, class of ’08 alumnus Adam Brown was cast in the Tony-winning Best Musical Once, where he will perform the role of Eamon in the Broadway production. Jennifer Carpenter, of the hit Showtime series Dexter, also trained at the Conservatory Program before attending Julliard School and performing in the Broadway revival of The Crucible alongside Liam Neeson and Laura Linney. But Charlie emphasizes that the real success stories are the students whose participation changes the trajectory of their lives in a different way. He revealed, “We have students on the Asperger’s Scale, we see children with major self-esteem issues and learning disabilities. They are all co-mingling here at Walden and to us it is just as rewarding to see them start to develop social skills and confidence through performance as it is to see one of our students on television.”

Walden also strives to break down cultural barriers through a program called Connecting Cultures. This moving collaboration between The Academy at Shawnee and the Newcomer Academy for students who’ve immigrated to the United States consists of months of writing, theatre exercises and discussions, culminating in a performance that explores stereotypes. The program went abroad this year too as Artistic Associate Julane Havens accompanied two Walden students on an Arts Immersion trip to Managua, Nicaragua. “Arts transcend cultural divides and provide a common language for expression and understanding,” Julane shared. “We conducted drama exercises with students who had never seen a play before. It gave our Walden students a sense of world-

liness and humbleness to participate.” Julane will return with more students this November.

Recent Conservatory graduate Cherish Curry said that her time at Walden has prepared her for a career in Production Design with an emphasis on lighting, which she will further pursue at New York University this fall. “I did my first stage production at Walden in the eighth grade and it has been such a unique and wonderful opportunity for me. The instructors always manage to make time for the students and answer questions about their specific areas of interest.” Fellow classmate and graduate Maggie Eskridge, who will soon begin studies at Santa Fe University of Art and Design, concurred: “At Walden, you can pursue whatever you want. I’ve written three plays that were performed here.” Maggie, now an intern at the Theatre, endured a one hour commute from Spencer County to attend the prestigious program. “More than anything,” she added, “students here learn respect. For example, if a student leaves a costume on the floor, we won’t let them use it for the rest of the day.”

Because every student deserves the opportunity to experience art education and the lessons of respect, cultural awareness, and self-confidence that often accompany the study, each semester Walden Theatre awards thousands of dollars in need-based tuition assistance.

L

aVonne Cottrell is planning a very important birthday party, but it’s not for her. Along with the American Cancer Society, she hopes this party saves lives and creates a world with more birthdays. At this year’s Evening of Hope Gala, the American Cancer Society will celebrate a century of decreasing deaths due to cancer. Over 11 million cancer survivors in America will celebrate a birthday this year.

LaVonne hopes you will join her in celebrating them all!

How did you get involved with The American Cancer Society?

Six years ago my mother heard the dreaded words “you have cancer” and soon after she passed away. After the shock and pain she and my family endured, I became passionate about joining the fight for a cure. I decided then that I wanted to get involved with a group where I could hopefully contribute to this effort so that other families did not have to share my experience. After learning more about The American Cancer Society and all the great work they have done to contribute to helping in the effort to end this global problem, I knew this was an organization that I wanted to get involved with. For your readers, please take a few minutes and visit cancer.org

You mentioned that this was the 100 year birthday bash for The American Cancer Society. What is planned for the evening to commemorate this centennial celebration?

The Evening of Hope Gala will be an exciting evening including an auction filled with truly exceptional items, an elegant dinner and live entertainment provided by The Crashers.

And to celebrate the Centennial of our organization and the many wonderful people

involved you can be sure that we have a few surprises to make this a unique experience.

I noticed a ticket option for the Birthday After Party. What is that all about?

Following the dinner program and live auction, The Louisville Crashers will close out the evening kickin’ out the jams, while specialty bars will also be available and, this year, dancing is not only encouraged but is required so, for this special “birthday bash” we decided to offer an After Dinner ticket for those late night warriors that wish to join the rest of our guests in the wilder part of the evening.

What auction items are most popular that everyone will be trying to win?

Vacation packages, sporting event tickets and derby packages always get a lot of attention. However, just to give you a little teaser, this year we have several very special auction items, one of which is the bridle and shoes from Orb the 2013 Kentucky Derby Winner.

I foresee some commotion over this year’s exciting auction!

I know that you have some very important awards to give on the night of the event including Physician of the Year. Can you share with us the significance of that award?

This prestigious award is presented to a physician with exceptional dedication and exemplary service to cancer patients in our community, while continuing The American Cancer Society’s mission of finding a cure and improving the lives of those affected by cancer. The Physician of the Year Award has been presented all 18 years at The Evening of Hope Gala. This year, we are pleased to announce the 2013 recipient is Dr. Subhash Sheth, Jewish Cancer Care, a part of KentuckyOne Health.

et’s face it, Louisvillage, although we are haute all the time, we’re mui caliente in August, and what better time to for an escape? Alaska seems appropriate to those of us who have to stay out of the kitchen because we can’t stand the heat, but nonetheless seek excitement in summer.

If you can turn a trip into a volunteer adventure, then, all the better.

The key is to stay “oh, the places you’ll go” at least a few months to get a real sense of the community and for the organization to get its best use of your presence, according to Emily Cottingham, founder of Foundation for Tomorrow, which she launched with a friend in 2006.

Cottingham, now 30, was heartbroken after touring an orphanage in Tanzania she visited after college that was home to 27 kids run by a single woman. She partnered with eight different orphanages and children’s homes and obtained funding to put the orphans in private school through a bike tour she organized from Mount Kilimanjaro to the coast of the Indian Ocean. Twenty American donors paid $8,000 each for the bike tour with one half of the expense to the Foundation for Tomorrow.

Sounds delightful, right? But what if you don’t have $8k handy, and still have an adventure void you long to fill? Cottingham, who now runs Lang Adventures + Travel and designs custom trips to Africa, said there are a lot of ways people can volunteer internationally at not so hefty a price tag. Internships that cover basic costs of the trip are a great idea she said, but require a time commitment ( from ten months to one year) that

many who aren’t fresh out of college don’t have to give. “Short term tours are a lot more difficult,” Cottingham said, but worth it overall to the individual and organization as a mutually beneficial awareness builder.

There are those, too, whose lust for far away lands may border on a bit of a disorder, according to Dr. Phil Fitzgerald who sees patients in his general practice who suffer from ennui, particularly successful physicians who just can’t seem to get or do enough. Dr. Fitzgerald said a particular doctor he recalled ran a triathlon with an injury, then decided to join friends on trek to Kilimanjaro with the same injury. “It’s almost like they can’t be satiated,” he said. Another doctor trekked to the Himalayas each year, but would worry about who would pay for the pizza stateside when he went out with pals so that he could hoard money for his trips, according to Dr. Fitzgerald.

When faced with patients who may use an adventure getaway as a quick fix for what may be more of a spiritual malady, Dr. Fitzgerald says his best approach is to ask, “Is this trip (going to fill you up)...are you really going to find anything there?”

Regardless he thinks eco-volunteerism is a good cure for self absorption. “Hand in Hand (Ministries) used to go to Managua, Nicaragua.

Children actually lived in the city dump. Missionaries would bring water to the kids sifting through the dump. Contrast that experience with a life lived so that your entire job is to try to make as much money as you can.” Most people who went came back completely changed, he said.

hef Mark Ford leans towards me as he enthusiastically answers my questions and shares his visions and values. Having very recently taken the reins at St. Charles Exchange, Chef Ford’s energy and optimism are infectious and I can imagine what fun it would be like to work for this young chef.

Good Morning, Chef, let’s start with your telling us a little about yourself and how you got started in this industry.

I’m from Springboro, Ohio, and started working fast food when I was 14.

Obviously I moved on from there, but I’ve always enjoyed the fast pace adrenaline rush of the business.

So you moved down here to go to Sullivan. What influenced your decision?

By the time I finished high school, I knew that more than anything else I wanted to be a good chef, so I looked at several schools including Johnston and Wales and the CIA and decided that Sullivan would be the best bet.

They have a great program and they were not too far from home.

Was culinary school what you expected?

You get out of it what you put into it. I knew what to expect going in. I remember my first day, the instruc-

tor asked the entire class why we wanted to be chefs. I was the only one who correctly said, “I’m a glutton for punishment.” I like to work hard and I like to create unique dining experiences.

Who is your greatest culinary inspiration?

Marco Pierre White, he was the youngest chef to be awarded 3 Michelin stars. I admire his motivation and work ethic, how he dove in headfirst and achieved what he wanted. Then when he was done, he gave back his stars!

What is your favorite philanthropy or charity?

I like Bourbon and Bowties and I love Chefs for Hope. Of course Apron is a cause near to my heart. I have a good friend who went through a very difficult medical situation and Apron was able to keep the lights on for him while he recovered.

Tell me about the menu here at St. Charles Exchange. Are you planning on modifying it?

I kept the signature Elvis on Horseback and the deviled eggs but everything else has changed. I’m into classic French, so I’ve introduced quite a bit to the menu. I also wanted to highlight what I can get locally and slow cuisine of the American south.

Animal Lovers Marry at the Louisville Zoo

P

atti Swope, manager of the Sam Swope Auto Group, and James Richard “Rich” Van Camp, Jr., President of V3 Aesthetics, Inc., and V3 Jeep Shop, were married Saturday, May 11, 2013. The Louisville Zoo was the obvious choice for their wedding venue since both the bride and groom are animal lovers and Patti devotes much of her free time to animal welfare causes. Their nuptial “bear necessities” were arranged with the help of wedding planner Maria Ladd who transformed the zoo into a love nest for two.

Patti and Rich exchanged vows at the Piniped Exhibit as family and friends joined an unusual

piniped posse who served as their wedding party and watchful witnesses including resident sea lions Patches and Triton, Tony the seal and attentive grizzly bears from Glacier Run. The bride wore an elegant dress by Theia from Rodeo Drive and her hair was styled by the couple’s mutual hairdresser and matchmaker, Trudy Hunt of Joseph’s Salon, who suggested their introduction.

After the ceremony, the newlyweds and their guests ventured to the Zoo’s African Outpost for dinner and a reception. The Safari Catering Company provided a delectable dinner while the Aaron Crane Duo had guests dancing and Mert’s Cakes topped off the celebration with a confec-

tionary feast. Patti and Rich honeymooned in Paris and the south of France in June.

Back home in Louisville, the couple relaxes by walking their dogs together, playing golf and dining out. Their favorite charity is the Kentucky Humane Society and their favorite charity events are Zoofari! benefiting the Louisville Zoo and Tuxes & Tails, benefiting the Kentucky Humane Society. Reflecting on love and marriage, Patti commented, “I’ve learned the hard way that love and marriage require a level of maturity, consideration for your partner’s feelings above all else and lots of communication. All the effort is definitely worth it.”

hen Maggie Harlow and her husband Brian Harlow opened SIGNARAMA on East Market Street ten years ago, they were guided by two main goals—they wanted to work with people they like and they wanted to be active in the community. Both goals were easily attained. Opportunities to be active in the community came to them almost daily in the form of customers from nonprofit organizations who asked for discounts or donations. While they wanted to grant each request, the Harlows quickly realized that they needed a process that helped them evaluate all of the requests and ensure that their contributions matched their

One of the 2013 projects SIGNARAMA funded is the Cane Run Elementary Giving Tree project, which expresses gratitude to the industrial community of Rubbertown for the many ways it has supported the school, including a food pantry, clothing, computers, a handicapped accessible playground and even an outdoor classroom for the school’s new environmental magnet school designation.

In the ensuring seven years, SIGNARAMA has awarded more than $100,000 of signage throughout the community. In 2013, nineteen Louisville-area nonprofits received $10,000 in free or discounted signage or services. “It is evident to us that these organizations work hard for the betterment of our community, and we love that. It’s very important for us and the community to support their efforts and help them succeed,” Maggie shared.

Displayed prominently in Cane Run’s entryway, the sign represents the vital relationship between the school and the industrial community that has allowed students to flourish.

Harlow’s Signs of Support program has been adopted by SIGNARAMAs across the US and Canada. “I’ve shared everything with our corporate office, so that they can teach new owners how to make giving back to the community work,” Maggie said. “When I get notices of other SIGNARAMAs launching Signs of Support, it’s really rewarding. It feels great.” signaramadowntown.com

here’s a new charity and new cause to the city of Louisville. The Fred and Mary Taulbee Charitable Foundation, a 501c3 private operating foundation, will benefit the orphaned and abandoned children of Appalachia, helping them to make the transition from orphanages into college and onto rewarding careers.

Having survived their own difficult childhoods, Fred and Mary Taulbee wanted to do something to improve the lives of orphaned and abandoned children in the Appalachian region.

When she was taken by cancer in 2012, Mary established the Founda-

should be cause for celebration of the future, not fear of the unknown.

Although the Commonwealth of Kentucky will fund college for orphaned children, less than 2% pursue secondary education after graduating high school. Without parents or mentors, many of these children are unable to successfully navigate higher education and the route to rewarding careers. By partnering with other local charitable organizations,

“Although the Commonwealth of Kentucky will fund college for orphaned children, less than 2% pursue secondary education” tion as a part of her Trust thus ensuring her philanthropic desires would live on. According to Nick Taulbee, Program Director and the adopted son of Fred and Mary Taulbee, “There are no other charities that focus specifically on college attendance and success levels for kids aging out of children’s homes and orphanages from Appalachia.”

For many orphaned and abandoned children, their eighteenth birthday is a source of anxiety, as it marks the time that they age out of the critical support systems they have come to depend upon. FMTCF believes these young people’s eighteenth birthday

like Boys Haven and Family Scholar House, placing students with mentors, providing financial support and life skills training, FMTCF seeks to increase college attendance numbers among Appalachian students to 50%.

FMTCF is also partnering with the Healing Futures Fellowship, a program led by Public Health Director Dr. Nesbitt that engages high school students in exploring the underlying causes and solutions to violence and inequity.

“Our true focus is on the kids and getting the support where it needs to be,” Taulbee said. The Foundation is currently seeking support through volunteers, financial donors and candidates for the soon-to-be-established Board of Directors.

or 170 years, Maryhurst has helped children heal and succeed through the power of education. Teaching tools have changed dramatically over the decades, but whether it was working with a typewriter back then or using an iPad now, education has helped our teenage girls learn the skills they need to take control of their futures as they move on to college and the work world.

We are proud to honor two of our most faithful education supporters by naming our on-campus school the Mary Jo and William MacDonald Maryhurst Academy.
