FROM THE
Kentucky to the World continues to gain momentum and interest from far and wide. The organization, which has a mission of enhancing “Kentucky’s image by showcasing the talent, ingenuity and excellence of men and women with strong Kentucky ties,” recently hosted another Speaker Series event, this time featuring Olympic gold medalists Mary T. Meagher and Kelsi Worrell Dahlia in a program that was moderated by WHAS11’s Whitney Harding. You’ll find coverage in these pages, and you can learn more about Kentucky to the World’s powerful initiative – as well as how you can help – by visiting kentuckytotheworld.org. Speaking of talented people with ties to the Commonwealth… It was thrilling to learn Food Network executive chef and vice president of culinary Robert Bleifer is a resident, at least part of every week. In this issue, you’ll discover a feature penned by Janice Carter Levitch of how and why Robert, his wife Nedra and their children have made Kentucky their home. On Aug. 1, we’ll publish our annual Arts Issue, featuring previews of the upcoming arts season, a comprehensive list of arts listings and a number of features celebrating some of the faces behind our city’s major arts organizations. If you’re interested in being a part of the issue as an advertising partner, you should know we are donating 10 percent of ad sales to Kentucky Center for the Performing Arts to assist the nonprofit in reopening stronger than ever after the June 13 fire that caused significant damage. To reserve your ad space and help us help The Kentucky Center, call 502.897.8900 or email advertising@voice-tribune.com.

SPOTLIGHT
The Food Literacy Project With Executive Director Carol Gundersen
S
ince 2006, more than 40,000 people have participated in planting, harvesting and preparing fresh food through Food Literacy Project’s hands-on Field-to-Fork program. The organization grew out of a demand recognized by farmer Ivor Chodkowski for access to a working farm where children and families could explore the story behind their food. We spoke with Food Literacy Project Executive Director Carol Gundersen about the nonprofit’s mission and more.
ABOUT FOOD LITERACY PROJECT “The Food Literacy Project transforms youth and their communities through food, farming and the land,” said Gundersen. “Utilizing a working vegetable farm as an outdoor classroom, school and community gardens, cafeterias and kitchens – and ‘Truck Farm,’ a mobile learning garden – we engage youth and families in the joy and power of discovering real food.”
WHO IS SERVED BY THE ORGANIZATION Many of the youth and families Food Literacy Project works with are underserved and face obstacles to health and wellness. “We offer farm-based education, after-school clubs, family engagement programs and outreach programming via Truck Farm,” Gundersen 10
said. “We also offer community-wide events at our expansion site, Iroquois Farm, in south Louisville on the site of the former Iroquois Homes housing complex.”
COMMUNITY IMPACT “We know that all people, especially young people, need more positive experiences with growing and preparing vegetables, the natural world and the community at large,” said Gundersen. “These experiences – planting a seed, tasting a new food, cooking a recipe from scratch – can be powerful motivators for people to seek out fresh, healthful food.”
HOW WE CAN HELP “The demand for our programs currently exceeds the resources we have, especially as we build on our success at Oxmoor Farm by expanding to Iroquois Farm,” explained Gundersen. “We rely on individual donations, foundation and government grants, volunteers and in-kind support to fulfill our mission. We invite those who share our vision – a healthy and equitable community where people and places thrive – to invest in this work by contacting us by phone, email, social media or (our website). Our annual fundraiser, the Field-to-Fork Dinner, is on Aug. 23, and tickets can be purchased through the link (on our website).” 0 7 . 1 9 . 2 0 1 8 V O I C E -T R I B U N E . C O M
LIFE
Every day, Food Literacy Project engages young people in hands-on discovery through planting, harvesting, exploring and cooking together. “But our efforts are not just about FOOD LITERACY PROJECT getting kids to eat 502.491.0072 their vegetables; they foodliteracyproject.org represent steadfast dedication to quality, info@foodliteracyproject.org life-changing experiences that instill youth with the character, confidence and compassion to contribute meaningfully to their community,” Gundersen said. “It’s the same way we think about the food grown here on the farm: Quantity is not the benchmark – quality is. And while the youth learn important skills associated with farming, cooking and civic engagement, the real harvest is a crop of young people who, having tapped into their connection with the natural world, return to their neighborhoods with a spirit of empowerment, knowing they can grow into stewards of the land and their community.” VT

History
A glimpse at the Frazier Museum’s new garden space and bourbon exhibition By Simon Meiners Photos provided by the Frazier History Museum
Simon Meiners is the public relations writer for the Frazier History Museum. 16
n June 22, the Frazier History Museum unveiled a modern new entrance and public park. The renovated area is located on the east side of the building in the space between the Frazier and the neighboring brick structure at 823 W. Main St. Among the new features are a large glass vestibule – “the Cube” – on Main Street, a rooftop garden with a balcony and, to the north, a linear outdoor park populated with native Kentucky plants and furnished with benches, tables and chairs. The Weber Group served as both designer and builder of the project, working intimately with the museum’s staff to help the Frazier highlight a new brand identity. Lead designer Nick Holmes worked in close collaboration with Jon Carloftis Fine Gardens on the renovations. Carloftis is a world-renowned landscape artist from Lexington who is famous for the rooftop gardens he designs. “It is such an honor to be a part of this team,” Carloftis said. “Nick and (Frazier
President and CEO) Penny Peavler were both such a treat to work with.” The park consists of troughs and garden beds sown with ghost ferns, serviceberry shrubs and other plant species that grow wild in Kentucky, as well as Kentucky coffee, black locust and American yellowwood trees. Over the treetops, lights crisscross between the two buildings, enabling the Frazier to host events in the park after dark. “The Frazier is where the world meets Kentucky,” Peavler said. “With this new park and rooftop garden, we want to provide a space where folks can relax outdoors, whether you work downtown or you’re just visiting. It’s the perfect spot to come and sip your coffee, eat lunch with your friends or just take a break from the hustle and bustle of downtown.” Stairs lead from the park to a second-story rooftop garden, a space that is situated on top of the Cube. Lining the rooftop are paw-paw trees and several trellis-walled boxes of a species called short-toothed mountain mint. A 0 7 . 1 9 . 2 0 1 8 V O I C E -T R I B U N E . C O M
LIFE
beautiful and fragrant plant, the short-toothed mountain mint is known to attract wildlife: its many pollinators include hummingbirds and butterflies. “It is always a real challenge taking a long, narrow space without much sunlight and turning it into a welcoming space,” Carloftis said. “But I feel like my 25 years of experience designing and building rooftop gardens and courtyards in New York City has been a tremendous help.” The south side of the rooftop juts out to form a balcony, providing a stunning and one-of-a-kind view of the Bourbon District and its historic architecture. (Louisville’s West Main Street is notably the site of the second largest cluster of cast-iron façades in the nation, number one being SoHo in Manhattan). Mounted above the balcony is a large vertical monument sign bearing the name of the museum. All the wood furniture in the park and garden is designed by Old World Timber, a firm that specializes in deconstructing old wooden barns and structures and “reclaiming” their timber.

“Having our go-to furniture designer Lesley Thomas create one-of-a-kind furniture pieces made the project extra special,” Carloftis said. The tables and benches are made from 100-year-old beams of ipe wood, or “Brazilian walnut,” that once belonged to a pier in New Jersey. The pier was built in 1928 but destroyed in 2012 by Hurricane Sandy. During museum hours, both the park and the garden remain open to the public – not just to visitors of the Frazier. “The park is free and open to the public anytime the museum is open,” Peavler said, adding, “It is also available for rent for special events.” New programming will be offered in the park several times per week, including tours led by staff to share stories of the native plants that are featured throughout. After hours, the park We at the Frazier want to spotlight and garden are closed, a rolling steel gate on Kentucky as the one, true home and the north end of the park of bourbon whiskey – America’s seals off entry from the rear. The rear entryway only native spirit. guarded by this gate will soon enable access to the — Penny Peavler museum from Washington Street for the first time since the Frazier opened back in 2004. As for the front entrance, the Cube will not officially take over for the museum’s current entrance until construction on the room

adjacent to it is completed later this summer. That room will house both the Frazier’s new admissions desk and the Kentucky Bourbon Trail (KBT) Welcome Center, a tourist attraction and concierge service staffed by the Kentucky Distillers’ Association (KDA). The KBT Welcome Center will mark the official starting point of the Kentucky Bourbon Trail experience, a tourist attraction launched by the KDA in 1999 to help promote bourbon-related tourism around the state. It is scheduled to open at the Frazier in tandem with The Spirit of Kentucky, a permanent exhibition about the history of bourbon in Kentucky, on Aug. 25. Some of the materials used in the ongoing renovations at the museum are a deliberate nod to bourbon whiskey. Visitors entering the Cube from Main Street, for example, will find white oak panels on the ceiling above them and limestone pavement on the ground below them. (Bourbon is made with Kentucky’s limestone-filtered water and aged in charred, white oak barrels.) “Ninety-five percent of the world’s bourbon comes from right here in the state of Kentucky,” Peavler said. “With the launch of the Kentucky Bourbon Trail Welcome Center and Spirit of Kentucky exhibition this August, we at the Frazier want to spotlight Kentucky as the one, true home of bourbon whiskey – America’s only native spirit.” VT 0 7 . 1 9 . 2 0 1 8 V O I C E -T R I B U N E .

Pizza LUPO Owners Headlining Lebowski Fest
A
chievers can grab a ceremonial beverage at Butchertown’s Pizza LUPO during Lebowski Fest, featuring White Russians for $6 July 20-21. Why is an Italian joint serving the Dude’s drink? Because co-owners Sarah Balliet and Adam Turla are headlining this year’s festival with their band, Murder by Death. Sarah and Adam met in 2000 as students at Indiana University in Bloomington, where Adam performed as the vocalist and guitarist for what would eventually become Murder by Death. Sarah joined soon after they met as the band’s cellist. Since then, they’ve played thousands of shows, released eight studio albums and saved up money to become restaurateurs. This year, the band plays Lebowski Fest ahead of releasing their new album, “The Other Shore,” and heading out on tour. Serving Louisville’s first and only true Neapolitan pizza, Pizza LUPO, 1540 Frankfort Ave., crafts pies and pastas inspired by Mediterranean traditions. Chef Max utilizes local ingredients atop Old World-style pizza dough cooked in a 900-degree wood-fired oven. The menu also features handmade pastas, lunch sandwiches and fresh salads. An Italian-inspired bar program features a wide selection of amari, house-made limoncello, seasonal craft cocktails, negronis by the pitcher and classic cocktails, wine and beer.

The cost is $45 per person. For reservations or more information, visit bourbonsbistro.com or call 502.894.8838. The restaurant is also now featuring new menu items, including Heirloom Tomato Salad (basil pesto, Bibb lettuce, red onion, crumbled goat cheese, aged balsamic dressing, lava salt, pine nuts); Sam’s Southern Salmon Cakes (cucumber salad, lemon poppy seed vinaigrette); Quinoa And Fresh Berries (fresh berries tossed with arugula, quinoa, cider vinaigrette); Tuna Poke Tacos (three crispy wonton shells with Asian slaw, marinated No. 1 tuna, black and white sesame, chives); Willie’s Tomato Toast (brioche toast, herb infused ricotta cheese, sliced heirloom tomatoes, balsamic glaze, basil and micro greens); Scottish Salmon (parmesan grits, sautéed peppers and onions, lemon truffle vinaigrette); and Strawberry Shortcake (white chiffon cake, macerated strawberries, whipped cream.

CENTER FOR NONPROFIT EXCELLENCE LEADERSHIP TRANSITION
Greg Nielsen is stepping down as chief executive officer of Louisville’s Center for Nonprofit Excellence (CNPE) to pursue new opportunities. Ann Coffey, with more than 25 years’ experience in organizational consulting and leadership, will serve as interim CEO.
CEDAR LAKE CLOSES ITS PICK-UP SERVICE
“We are grateful to Greg for his three years of leadership that helped grow our organization and expand our reach,” said Tess McNair, board vice chair for CNPE, which today helps more than 500 nonprofit organizations across the Louisville region grow and thrive through consulting, professional development and other programs. Coffey will work with staff to continue CNPE services and programming and with the CNPE board to prepare for an executive search.
Savers, is also the for-profit entity that owned and operated the Unique Thrift Store on Preston Highway. After the abrupt closing of the store and surprise announcement that they will be leaving the Kentucky market entirely, Cedar Lake was left with little to no option but to close its Pick-Up Service operations.
Under Nielsen, CNPE launched new programs including Destination Excellence, an intensive six-month curriculum designed to elevate the leadership capabilities of nonprofit executive directors or other senior leaders. Nielsen also introduced CNPE’s Circles of Excellence program which provides peer-to-peer learning opportunities for those working in nonprofit leadership, grant-writing and finance roles, and led the expansion of CNPE’s annual conference to a must-attend event for the region’s nonprofit community. Prior to his career leading nonprofits, Nielsen was an attorney with Bank of America and judge advocate general with the U.S. Army. Coffey is founder and co-creator of Forte LLC, a leadership coaching and consulting practice and has helped create and grow a variety of organizations for more than 25 years. She previously was chief of staff for the University of Louisville’s Office of Advancement, president and CEO of Louisville nonprofit Women 4 Women and served in Gov. Martha Layne Collins’ administration as special assistant.

Cedar Lake was in a transitional period to become fully independent from Savers to create additional net proceeds for their nonprofit by the end of 2018. Savers denied Cedar Lake’s attempt to become independent and fully operational by January 2019. Because of Saver’s own business challenges, they decided to not execute a contract that would have allowed for a smooth transition with no interruption to the Pick-Up Service. “While the news of the Pick-Up Service closing is unfortunate, we are currently exploring new strategies for the future to restructure and reorganize our Pick-Up Service operations, with plans to include a new, exciting thrift store concept,” states Chris Stevenson, president and CEO of Cedar Lake.
Ann Coffey.
“I look forward to working with the board and staff over the next several months to build upon Greg’s work toward the CNPE’s vision to become one of the preeminent nonprofit centers in the country,” Coffey said.
RADCLIFF VETERAN RECEIVES NEW ROOF FROM BONE DRY ROOFING
Cedar Lake, Kentucky’s largest, private nonprofit organization serving individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities, announced they will be closing their Pick-Up Service operation on July 27 due to the departure of their solicitation and buying partner, Savers.

an Owens Corning Roofing Platinum Contractor. This nationwide effort is a way to show gratitude and honor the veterans who served our country and the families who support them. “We pride ourselves on being heavily involved in our community – you’ve probably seen our trucks and apparel around town,” said Louie Leger, owner and general manager of Bone Dry Roofing, Inc. “This was just another way, a big way, for us to become more involved and give back.” Owens Corning Roofing and its network of independent Platinum Contractors, along with support from the Owens Corning Foundation, are donating roofing materials and labor to replace
roofing shingles on the homes of military veterans and their families throughout the country. Through a partnership with Purple Heart Homes, Roger Young was selected and approved as the recipient for the roof replacement. “We consider Bone Dry Roofing a true partner in making this happen,” said executive director John Gallina at Purple Heart Homes. “We’re excited to see this project come to fruition. Mr. Young gave so much and to this day, still serves as a civil servant for the Army.” For more information on the Roof Deployment Project, or to learn more about how you can get involved, visit www.RoofDeploymentProject. com.

A Harbor for the Downtown Crowd at Atlantic No. 5 By Baylee Pendleton Photos by Kathryn Harrington

I
f you walk into Atlantic No. 5 on any given day, you’ll hear the quiet hum of espresso machines, bubbling conversation and background music of the acoustic variety. The bell will chime as you walk in, and you’ll be greeted warmly as you’d expect in any such establishment. In my experience, though, there’s much more behind this eatery than just these normal, cafe rhythms. On my first day with The Voice-Tribune team, I popped into Atlantic No. 5 for what I thought would be a routine lunch jaunt, rushing because I wanted to get back to my desk. Walking briskly and a bit distracted, I was several steps into the cafe before it hit me: this place is anything but routine. Large windows facing Main Street light the shop’s interior, and exposed brick contrasts with crisp, white walls and cheery lighting. The large display case holds the day’s breakfast and lunch specials, and the pastry stands on the counter tempt you with a revolving selection of desserts. On both ends of the cafe, co-owners and operating partners Rebecca Johnson and Mary Wheatley have installed retail shelves, selling a variety of local food items like salsa, chutney, dressings and the like.
Johnson and Wheatley bought Atlantic No. 5 three and a half years ago, intending to attract the downtown business crowd with fresh and healthy options for breakfast and lunch. Omnivores, gluten-free patrons and vegetarians alike can find something on this menu, which combines standing items with daily specials. Breakfast focuses on items like egg sandwiches, a daily frittata and their famous biscuits. The biscuits – doughy on the inside with a well-preserved crust on the outside – are a standout served with jam and butter. The David ($6) is a delicious, open-faced sandwich on Blue Dog Bakery levain bread topped with tomato smear, olive oil, mashed avocado, scrambled egg, bacon and arugula. The soup-salad-sandwich lunch menu includes the A5 Grilled Cheese ($9), which pairs well with their Creamy Tomato Soup ($3.50). Any panini they have on special will be delicious – and I do mean any. The Powerhouse Salad ($9) is a great working lunch option with fresh greens, dried cranberries, edamame, toasted chickpeas, sliced cucumber, pickled red onion and caramelized sunflower seeds. 0 7 . 1 9 . 2 0 1 8 V O I C E -T R I B U N E .

And of course, there’s the coffee. Atlantic No. 5 serves Sunergos coffee, a Louisville favorite, whether you opt for a black drip or a sweet cappuccino. Don’t leave without a coffee and oatmeal cream pie in hand. If you were looking for more reasons to stop in, the shop now serves gelato. In the weeks following my initial visit, I’ve found myself returning to Atlantic No. 5, perhaps more often than I really need to. Walks away from my computer during break time always seem to end back at their door, where I’ve created some excuse to pick out a sweet afternoon treat or yet another cup of coffee. But ultimately, it’s not the food or drinks that keep calling me back. From day one, I was treated like a member of some informal klatch and was always asked about how my day was and how my work was going. That’s what kept calling me back. Two weeks later, I had favorite menu items. By week three, everyone behind the counter knew my name. Atlantic No. 5 goes beyond the basic norms of a routine eatery, welcoming you into a community of hospitality, warmth and beauty. Visit expecting delicious eats, but leave with something more.

Golf: Technique or Strength? By Jeffrey Howard
It’s your overall strength and flexibility that will improve your swing and decrease strokes off of your game.
24
I
arrived in Lexington almost six years ago and was greeted by my oldest brother at the airport with a birthday gift of a brand new set of golf clubs. I had never really played golf before – tennis was my sport of choice – but that’s how my golf journey began. My brother Rick, who’s exceptional at the sport, patiently taught me the game, and we played every weekend. This eventually turned into three times a week, and though I’m not sure I ever really improved, I tried my best and loved the game. Over time, I came to learn that the perfect swing is the ultimate goal of golf. Many golfers will purchase state-of-the-art clubs, hoping this will increase the distance of their drive and decrease their handicap. What these golfers don’t realize is that the quality of their clubs will not ultimately lower their handicap. Instead, it’s your overall strength and flexibility that will improve your swing and decrease strokes off of your game. To increase this strength, a tailored training regimen that focuses on the muscles most used by the player is best. In golf, attention should be given to core strength and flexibility to reduce overuse of your arms and wrists and to prevent strain on the lower back. Golfers should try yoga, pilates and Barre workouts. In addition to strengthening your core, you should strive to improve flexibility in your feet, ankles, hips and lower spine to increase your rotational range of motion. The further you can bend your body while maintaining good alignment, the more powerful your swing will be and the further the ball will go. Golf is a good way to stay fit through moderate aerobic exercise and strengthening of your muscular and skeletal systems. Here are a few fitness facts regarding golf and your health: 0 7 . 1 9 . 2 0 1 8 V O I C E -T R I B U N E . C O M
LIFE
IT BURNS CALORIES TO LOSE WEIGHT. Golf is a surprisingly effective way to burn lots of calories. Losing weight is simple: eat fewer calories than your body uses. When you take in more calories than your body needs, that energy gets stored as fat. When your body can’t get enough calories from food, it pulls the energy from fat instead, resulting in weight loss. So how many calories can you burn playing golf? Playing an 18-hole round burns 721 to 2,000 calories if you carry clubs. Riding in a cart, you’d burn around 411 to 1,300 calories. The exact amount will vary based on the course and the golfer, but it’s a significant loss no matter what. If you are new to golf or too busy for a full round of golf, try heading to the driving range. An hour spent hitting a bucket of balls will burn off around 200 calories. In comparison, you’d have to run for 30 minutes to burn the same amount.
IT INCREASES YOUR MUSCLE MASS TO GET FIT. During a round of golf you engage several large muscle groups including your back, arms, core and legs. Over time, this repeated exercise increases your lean muscle mass. The more lean muscles you have, the more calories your body burns. Beyond the caloric burn, strong healthy muscles are necessary to support joint health and maintain strong bones. It can even help your body metabolize insulin and become more resistant to diabetes. The fitness benefits of golf reach beyond fat lost and muscles gained, too. In a research study, a group of mostly sedentary men played golf two to three times a week. Over the course of 20 weeks, the new golfers lost weight, reduced their waist size and decreased the fat around their abdomen. Their stamina increased, their blood pressure lowered and their levels of good HDL cholesterol increased.
IT IMPROVES YOUR MENTAL HEALTH. Golf has been shown to decrease stress and anxiety and improve overall mental health. Programs have even been designed around golf to treat PTSD in veterans. This mental boost is attributed to a combination of exercise and the following: • A deficiency of vitamin D has often been linked with depression, and more than 40 percent of Americans are vitamin D deficient. Vitamin D is best absorbed through sunlight. Because most people don’t spend enough time outside, they aren’t getting sufficient vitamin D. Golfing a few times a week can provide you with the vitamin D you need to stay healthy and decreases the risk of depression, certain cancers, osteoporosis, diabetes, hypertension and autoimmune diseases. • Outdoor activities can help alleviate symptoms of Alzheimer’s, dementia, stress, depression and improve cognitive function. A recent study showed that just 90 minutes of walking in a natural setting, such as a wooded trail or golf course, increased positive thoughts and decreased negative self-talk in most people.

T
he Imagineers at Walt Disney World have been working overtime to deliver new and exciting attractions to the famed amusement park. Summer 2018 has been an exciting year for Disney fans, with the opening of Toy Story Land in Disney’s Hollywood Studios. I was lucky enough to attend the media preview of the land two days before the opening. The fact of the matter is, with any new addition to any of Disney’s four parks, people will be lining up (literally) to be one of the first to experience the latest and greatest attraction. Navigating Disney can take the planning of someone with a doctorate in Disney (which I happen to possess). A trip certainly isn’t as simple as the days of showing up, meeting characters along Main Street USA and hopping on rides. To make matters easier, here are my tips for maximizing your time at Toy Story Land and Walt Disney World in general: Believe it or not, your hotel choice can make a difference in having the best chance at getting on your favorite rides quickly. Staying on Disney property means that you can book FastPasses as soon as 60 days prior to your stay while guests of non-Disney properties have to wait until 30 days prior. Be strategic in booking your FastPasses. If possible, book them as close together as
possible. Each guest gets three FastPasses per day that can be pre-scheduled. Once you’ve used all three of your FastPasses, you can then schedule one at a time for any rides you may want to bypass the regular line. Toy Story Land was tons of fun in the daytime, but when the sun set and the lights came on, it was downright magical. If you can only visit once, I urge you to visit during the evening hours. It is really something to see. There are three rides located in Toy Story Land. Two are brand new and one is an old favorite that has gotten a new entrance. The two new rides are Slinky Dog Dash (the roller coaster) and Alien Swirling Saucers. Slinky Dog Dash is the ride with the longest wait time and for good reason: It is a ton of fun. I loved it so much that I rode it seven times in a row during the media preview I attended. This is the ride that I would definitely use a FastPass on. Don’t let the name or the photos fool you; this is not a classic kiddie ride like the Barnstormer found in Magic Kingdom. Slinky Dog Dash provides enough thrills that parents will enjoy it just as much as the kiddos. Just a note: if you are the first rider in the car, to the far left you can see more of the steep drops. So, those riders in your party who have a tendency to get a bit nervous should probably sit on the right-hand side. If you are looking for a more thrilling ride, the 0 7 . 1 9 . 2 0 1 8 V O I C E -T R I B U N E . C O M

very back is where you will want to be. I did the dirty work for you and have ridden in the front, middle and back. The back was handsdown my favorite spot to ride Slinky Dog. Since opening, Alien Swirling Saucers has had pretty manageable wait times, so if you can manage a reasonable wait, I would ride it without the FastPass. This ride is not a spinning ride like the tea cups, but rather reminded me of the scrambler that you find in pop-up carnivals. Like everything that Disney does, there was extreme attention to detail given to this new area. The intention was that upon entering, guests would feel as if they had shrunk down to the size of a toy. There are so many details that are just waiting to be discovered. Keep your eyes peeled! VT

At Home with Joe Goodwin HOMES
A few of Joe Goodwin’s favorite things By Janice Carter Levitch Photos by Kathryn Harrington
J
oe Goodwin is a photographer, Air Force veteran and African art collector. “My parents gave me my first camera for Christmas when I was six years old. I’ve been into photography since then,” he recalled. “I started taking pictures with my first camera and couldn’t afford to have the pictures developed. So, I would send off the film and never go to pick it up,” Goodwin said. “That’s a funny memory. But, I was always the guy who enjoyed taking pictures of people. … Fast forward to today, I shoot a lot of events and portraits. The personal stuff is fun. That’s what my passion is, the freedom to create beautiful images.” Goodwin recently welcomed The Voice-Tribune into his home to share a few of his favorite things.
1. BRONZE SCULPTURE The bronze sculpture is a piece Goodwin has had since 2004. “It was from an African 30
art dealer in Columbus, Ohio. I saw it and knew I wanted it for my collection. One thing is for sure, I never get tired of looking at it because it’s just extraordinary.”
2. ROLLER SKATES “I bought my skates in 1980 after joining the Air Force in 1979 right out of high school,” Goodwin explained. “When I arrived at my first assignment at Columbus Air Force Base in Columbus, Mississippi, they had just built a skating rink on base, and I got a parttime job working there. So, I thought if I’m going to work at a skating rink, I better learn how to skate. They’ve been all over the world with me, including the Philippines, Vietnam and Saudi Arabia, too.”
3. WALKING STICKS “I got my first walking stick about 15 years ago from a friend who sold African Art,” Goodwin said. “It has to be really unique and stand out for me to add it to my collection. The only thing in this collection that isn’t a 0 7 . 1 9 . 2 0 1 8 V O I C E -T R I B U N E . C O M

walking stick is an old military sword that has been in my family for years. I even remember admiring it when I was a young boy.”
4. CRYSTAL GORILLA Goodwin saw the crystal gorilla in a local shop and was drawn to it. “I noticed it’s numbered on the bottom, which meant it was part of a special collection,” he said. “A few people have wanted it, but I’m going to hang on to it. It’s absolutely a favorite thing in my home.”
5. ORNAMENTAL WEAPONRY Goodwin’s collection of ornamental weaponry, he explains, “was created by Negritos in the Philippines. When I was leaving there, they presented it to me as a thank you for being so kind to them, and everything was created out of old materials they collected.” VT 0 7 . 1 9 . 2 0 1 8 V O I C E -T R I B U N E .

eet Robert and Nedra Bleifer, a national love story with downhome connections. As executive chef and vice president of culinary for the Food Network, Robert oversees an array of chefs and is constantly on the sets for talk shows and photo shoots, creating menus and traveling the country. What changed his path about 20 years ago and led him to a family farm in Kentucky was meeting his wife, Nedra (Morgan) Bleifer. Robert fondly recalls how it all began in the summer of 2000: “Nedra had come to New York to study at the American Academy of Dramatic Arts. Her good friend and manager when she was out in Los Angeles touching base with the acting world, was the younger sister of one of my closest friends,” he recalled. “We met at a party that this close friend put together on the Upper West Side in New York. The chemistry was good that night, but at the time it was like, ‘Well, you’re an actress out in Los Angeles; I’m in New York, and how could this work?’ ” 0 7 . 1 9 . 2 0 1 8 V O I C E -T R I B U N E . C O M
The chemistry was there, though, and the two went on a first date to Bobby Flay’s Mesa Grill to get to know each other over margaritas. “After our margarita date, we had our first dinner date at our now favorite Indian place, Haveli, in the East Village of New York,” Nedra said. “Most of our dates centered around where to go for interesting food and drink. Rob took me to my first sushi dinner, where I ate way too much wasabi and choked. From then on, I’ve loved sushi.” Now, 18 years later, they have two kids, 16 years of marriage and a home built on their family farm in La Grange, Kentucky, living a dream they’ve brought to life. Navigating the hustle and bustle of life in New York City is no easy task. Add a weekly commute to that already busy schedule and you begin to understand the devotion Robert has for his family and the importance of life on the farm. “My weekly schedule requires I’m in New York at the Food Network Monday through Thursday for filming and other responsibilities.

back to the farm here in Kentucky Friday through Sunday,” Robert said. Nedra exudes a calmness that is exactly what living in such an idyllic setting can create. It’s one of the rewards for Robert that makes the commute all worth it. Poised on an enchanting hillside, overlooking rolling fields lined with trees that tower over fence lines perched on the horizon, the Bleifer family farm has a playful charm that would melt away any stress of city life. Nedra is a Kentucky gal at heart and that has brought the family back home to raise their children the way she remembers growing up. The Morgan family emigrated from England and Wales to La Grange, Kentucky, about 200 years ago settling on over 500 acres. Nedra’s family tree is in the land and knowing how to farm that land has been passed down While I certainly wasn’t happy through the generations. and Robert place about becoming a commuter, Nedra great value on establishing it was best for our family. It’s all worth a family legacy, especially when it comes to the expeit when the kids can pick a tomato riences they want their to have growing or cucumber right off the vine and children up surrounded by scenic experience food that fresh. hillsides and learning from such an early age the — Robert Bleifer importance of farm-fresh food. The Bleifers have incredible plans for the farm that they are currently exploring, which could include outdoor yoga, cooking classes and a venue for special events. As this writer walked the property to get a sense of the land, it was easy to see that the possibilities are endless. “My relatives came from England and that dates back to the 1700s,” Nedra explained. “I’m the seventh generation of the Morgan family. My dad, Garnett Morgan Jr., sold about 250 acres several years ago to the county so they could create the Morgan Conservation Park, and we knew at least that big chunk would always be preserved.” The Morgans farmed tobacco, raised cattle, horses, pigs, sheep, chickens and a massive garden. “Growing up here was pretty awesome – watching everybody do the canning and learning how to pick beans and break them, too,” Nedra said. “We lived just down the road when I was growing up, and it was remarkable that we could walk across the creek, through the field and over the hill to get to my grandparents’ place, which isn’t something a lot of kids can do these days.” Now that Robert and Nedra are building their home up the road from where she grew up, “Our two little girls can now walk through
the field and take the dogs with them if they want to while they are on the way to their grandparents’ house,” Nedra said. What’s also important, she added, is knowing where your food comes from. While living in New York, Nedra was involved with a school food program that would deliver fresh produce, cheeses and different foods from local farms to schools weekly. The program also provided information about each farmer involved to help students learn more about farm-to-table freshness. “People now more than ever want to know where their food is coming from,” Nedra said. Meanwhile, Robert fondly remembers the small hamlet of Woodmere, New York, where he grew up. His mother had a little garden that provided fresh raspberries, melons, cucumbers and tomatoes. “Food was always a big focus for our family. Our house was situated in a new suburb, which was perfect to grow up in,” Robert recalled. Looking back at the influence his mother’s little garden had on his interest in fresh foods, he remembers California cuisine being all the rage almost 30 years ago. “They weren’t calling it ‘farm to table.’ It was called ‘California cuisine,’ and it was literally daily farmers markets. The food was picked that morning, and it got to the restaurants by the next day. Everybody raved about California cuisine. At first it was all about the talented chefs – yes, all the chefs were talented – but everybody finally realized when the food is that fresh and hasn’t traveled across the country or halfway across the globe, it elevates the cuisine. “So, now we are realizing there are all these local farms, and if one farm can’t provide for the entire area, those 20 small farms can provide for the area,” Robert affirmed. “It’s amazing and very exciting to see the rise of all the green markets.” Eventually, Robert decided that after culinary school he wanted to experience New York City-style chef training. But a year into trying to decide who would be the next big city chef to push his talents to the limits, he was given an opportunity to freelance at the Food Network, which – at the time – was in its second year of operation. He began working six to seven days a week on contract until the network eventually offered him a full-time job. Robert wanted to stay in the restaurant world, but the allure of numerous paid vacation days and instant health benefits piqued his interest and strengthened his passion for cooking. “Two years into the job at the Food Network, I was still learning so much and loving it,” he explained. “Two years became three, then four, and then my five-year review happened. I finally thought, ‘My time here is 0 7 . 1 9 . 2 0 1 8 V O I C E -T R I B U N E . C O M

up and I need to move on.’ But, they propositioned me with the job of running the kitchen, which shocked me. I didn’t expect that at all. There were two sous chefs ahead of me, and that’s why I thought there was no room for advancement.” Running the kitchen also gave him the opportunity to meet every chef and restaurateur in the tri-state area of New York because they all came through the Food Network kitchen. That 5-year review was more than 17 years ago, and Robert’s job keeps morphing and reinventing itself every four to five years because of the ever-changing dynamic of the food industry and the network. It took Robert five years of working for the Food Network to realize it’s right where he’s supposed to be, and that’s what made it easy to stay. “It’s unfathomable to think this fall will be 23 years since I began there. (But) Nedra had commented to me at one point that New York City was an experience rather than a way of life. Once our first child was born, we knew we would get out of the city and back to the suburbs where we could have a garden. While I certainly wasn’t happy about becoming a commuter, it was best for our family. It’s all worth it when the kids can pick a tomato or cucumber right off the vine and experience food that fresh,” Robert admitted. When he was 8 years old, Robert remembers curiously watching as his grandfather picked a tomato right off the vine and ate it like an apple. He thought to himself that that wasn’t the right way to eat a tomato, but all these years later, he understands that eating a tomato straight off the vine is the proper way after all. Even if you don’t have access to your own garden, Robert suggests using window boxes for herbs and shopping at farmers markets as often as you can. Roof-top gardens and vertical gardens are options as well. Another suggestion he offered is to buy large quantities of what’s in season and then freeze it to cook with at a later date. If you’re pressed for time, you can also have your protein ready to go at home in the freezer and make a quick stop for fresher produce at the grocery on the way home. “We have hunters in the family, and that provides us with fresh venison, which is our main source of protein. That makes great stews or soups and is a favorite meal for us. Especially for the kids, you can put a lot of ingredients in a stew or soup that they usually don’t care for and cooked as a stew they eat it up,” Robert said. “In the colder months, we get the kids in the kitchen and they can help, too. We are working on our garden now and feel a little lost without it, but next year we’ll get it established.
One of the first things we did before we started building the house about a year ago was to buy some fruit trees. We have apple trees, cherry trees, tangerine trees, along with blackberries and raspberries that are already planted and ready to go,” Robert continued. “I need some fig trees and especially chestnut trees because of the connection to old America. One of my favorite features in our kitchen is the wood-burning pizza oven we are looking forward to finishing. And, of course, my razor-sharp chef’s knives are another favorite,” he said. Added Nedra: “Coming back home to Kentucky was the best decision Robert and I could make to create a lifestyle that we want for our children. I need to feel my toes in the earth.” VT 35

Janice trap shooting with Jason Seitz at Indian Creek Shooting Range.
T
he barrel of the gun I was staring down was a different kind of barrel than the one gin gets aged in. During my first experience trap target shooting at the Indian Creek Shooting Center, it was exhilarating to learn gun safety and what it was like to pull the trigger on a 20 gauge, Tristar shotgun. Wanda Seitz, co-owner of the business, has to be one of the most confident women I’ve ever met. She talked to me about the business while her son and co-owner Jason Seitz guided me through the shooting process. “We began our shooting center by focusing on trap shooting and have expanded to sporting clay, skeet and group sessions,” Wanda said. Jason quickly put me at ease as we walked to the shooting range. A modern-day cowboy, Jason nestled the shotgun across his forearm and carried it as carefully (with the safety on, of course) as if it were a newborn baby. Once I was ready, he handed me the shotgun. He loaded a shell into the chamber and told me to lock it in place and get in position. The first target went flying into the air. Determined to hit the mark, I carefully aimed. Several attempts later, with more guidance from Jason, I finally hit the trap. A different kind of barrel can be found at Castle & Key Distillery in Frankfort, Kentucky, which is home to some mighty fine gin that was just released. Their recent cocktail competition at the distillery with 10 bartenders competing for the award for best gin cocktail was certainly a refined shindig. Guests had the chance to taste 10 different cocktail samples as they wandered through the dreamy, outdoor garden areas designed by Jon Carloftis. Marianne Eaves (formerly known as Marianne Barnes), in case you’ve been living under a rock, is Kentucky bourbon’s first female master distiller. Along with founding partners Will Arvin, Wesley Murry

and Brook Smith, this distilling quartet has made their collective voice heard loud and clear in the spirit industry. “This cocktail competition gives us the opportunity to showcase a spirit, gin, that we – I mean Marianne – worked on for a long time,” Wesley noted. “It illustrates the symbiotic relationship between us and bartenders, which is something we place a lot of value in because the bartenders have an understanding of the product they are serving.” The participating bartenders were an array of creative individuals who have a passion for ingredients along with the awareness for getting it right. “The inspiration for tonight’s cocktails has been a collective focus on our gin and how it mixes with certain ingredients,” Will said. “To see it come together for our first (gin) product we’ve made here at the distillery totally from scratch is very rewarding.” The judges were Marianne, Molly Wellmann, Julie Jaksic. The winning cocktail was “Falling Through a Field” created by Natalie Newberry representing Henley Brasserie located in Nashville, Tennessee. The recipe included green beans and absinthe, making it unique indeed. As the winner, Natalie will receive an all-expenses paid trip to the Spirit Festival in San Diego, California, in August. It’s an amazing prize that includes VIP access to the festival accompanied by the Castle & Key Distillery team. “It’s been an incredible journey to get from a distillery in ruins to an operational distillery, and now having our first spirit-focused event utilizing our product is a momentous day,” Marianne said. “Garnering interest from such high-caliber industry partners and to have sold out the event to our fans is just so special.” You can book an experience at Castle & Key Distillery by calling 859.873.2481 or visiting castleandkey.com.

PROFILE
The Final Piece of the Puzzle After two years of renovation, the Kentucky International Convention Center takes its place – bigger and better – in Louisville’s gleaming and growing downtown By Steve Kaufman Courtesy renderings
50
O
n Aug. 10, roughly two years from the day the Kentucky International Convention Center (KICC) closed for a $207 million renovation, it will officially reopen. The cranes, barricades and construction equipment will be gone, and Third Street will be reopened. The massive building, which runs from Second to Fourth streets and Market to Jefferson streets, will convert from a hindrance clogging up the middle of the city into one of Louisville’s most sparkling assets. Stacey Church, general manager of KICC, said the renovation will come in on schedule and on budget, which is in and of itself a pair of remarkable achievements. And not a moment too soon, because the day after the official opening, the first group to use the new facility – the University Bible Fellowship – will load in for a week-long program that runs Aug. 8-15, with 4,000 attendees. (On average, Church said, meetings ranging from 550 attendees to 8,000 are already booked for 2018-19. And, in fact, groups are talking to KICC for meetings as far ahead as 2024.) According to Stacey Yates, vice president of marketing for Louisville Tourism (the new
name of the Louisville Convention & Visitors Bureau), the economic impact of this group on the city – hotel rooms, meals, events, tourism and transportation, plus the cost of renting the center – will be $6.03 million. While the city has missed a thriving convention center in its midst, and all that economic impact it produces, it hasn’t been sleeping. There has been a 54-percent growth in downtown hotel sleeping rooms since 2010, and Yates said it will reach 6,193 rooms next year with the opening of Hotel Distil/Moxy Hotel at First and Main. City-wide, there has been a 20-percent growth in that same time period, soon to be 22,000 rooms by next year. “Hotel growth is in a symbiotic relationship with the convention center’s expansion,” said Yates. “We needed an expanded, modern convention space, but we also needed the added support of plenty of hotel rooms.” Omni Hotels & Resorts made it clear early this year with the opening of its massive Omni Hotel Louisville – located just a couple of blocks down from the new convention center – that the renovation of the convention facility was a major motivator in its decision 0 7 . 1 9 . 2 0 1 8 V O I C E -T R I B U N E . C O M
BUSINESS
to build in Louisville. As for what KICC offers to the city’s conventioneers, the numbers speak for themselves: • A 34-percent increase in contiguous meeting space to 200,000 square feet (from 140,000). Much of that comes from a new cantilevered overhang on the Market Street side of the building. “We have already booked groups as large as 10,000 people,” said Church. • 52 separate meeting rooms. • A 25 percent increase in the number of convention groups the Louisville Tourism sales team can go after, according to its own estimates. • A significant addition of natural light through walls of glass and skylights. “That’s important to addressing customers’ needs,” said Yates. “Today’s attendees don’t like to meet in a windowless, concrete box. Everyone knows natural light improves people’s mood and alertness.” • A 4,000-square-foot, column-free ballroom on the ground level, 33 percent larger than the former ballroom, and with what Yates called “an entire high-tech, color-changing LED wall, so the conventions can theme out the venue in any way they choose in a very cost-efficient way.” And, she added, “the beauty of that space is how multifunctional it can be. It can be used for proms and local groups and dinners, as well as formal ballroom space for conventions. Plus, because of its size and lack of columns, it could accommodate a trade show inside its four walls, as well.” But the large exhibit floor on the uppermost level can also accommodate 14,000 persons for a large meal function. “These two meal options are a business attraction in several ways,” said Yates. “KICC can handle larger meal events than it could before, which keeps an on-site dining-in option. That’s especially important with trade shows, where exhibitors want 0 7 . 1 9 . 2 0 1 8 V O I C E -T R I B U N E . C O M
to keep attendees in the building as much as possible. If they’re going elsewhere in the city for their major show dinners, they’re not mixing with exhibitors’ booths.” One of the buzzwords of the convention-planning industry is “sightlines.” Ideally, every trade show booth ought to be visible from every corner of the room. If not, no exhibitor wants a far corner in the back, which cuts down on the number of exhibitors a convention can attract. And then they begin looking to other cities for their meetings. To that last point, Louisville still trails some other nearby cities – at least in the number of hotel rooms. “Columbus has 28,000 sleeping rooms; Indianapolis has 32,000; Nashville, 42,000,” said Yates. “These are the things meeting planners look at. They prefer to put their attendees in fewer hotels. Otherwise, it can become a hassle to move attendees to and from the main convention facility.” She said the industry refers to that as a “tight package. … How close is the convention center to your main hotel blocks? How close is it to dining, attractions, other amenities?” As for transportation, she said, Uber and Lyft have filled the gap in getting around town. Louisville is not, like Chicago and New York, a city where you can step out on the curb and hail a cab. But here, today, you can easily order a ride with your phone. Convention attendees will always want to get out into the city, and fortunately, said Yates, “In downtown, we now have dining districts we didn’t have before. And we have attractions – a dozen within four walkable blocks, many of those bourbon-related.” All of this makes Louisville a morethan-vanilla experience for the city’s visiting conventioneers. “That’s right,” affirmed Yates. “It’s now a vanilla-and-caramel experience.” VT
Hotel growth is in a symbiotic relationship with the convention center’s expansion. — Stacey Yates

SPANISH FLY OPENS ON EAST MARKET STREET
Steeped in more than 50 years of family tradition, California artist and musician Adalberto Castellon Jr. is reviving the lost art of the barbershop with the opening of Spanish Fly, a community center, performance venue and art gallery located at 626 E. Market St. Castellon, 35, recently moved to Louisville from the Bay Area and immediately became enamored with the city’s independent spirit and family-friendly atmosphere. “It’s like Oakland in 2005,” said Castellon. Spanish Fly is an homage to his great grandfather’s barbershop, Barberia Teran, which opened more than 50 years ago in Casas Grandes, Mexico. Castellon traveled there annually as a young child and was highly influenced by the town’s highly decorated arts and craft culture as well as his grandfather’s role as a visionary and connector of the small, rural community. Castellon recently traveled back to pick up his great grandfather’s original barber chairs, photographs and artifacts that create the authentic and experiential design that defines Spanish Fly. “I want to give this community a unique portal into traditional Mexican culture (with) ... Southwest vibes (and) my West Coast personality and sensibilities. I hope this becomes a cornerstone for the community to connect, relax and unwind, just like Barberia Teran was in Casas Grandes,” said Castellon, who trained at Los Angeles’ prestigious Fashion Institute of Design and Merchandise (FIDM) and is double-licensed in California and Kentucky as a cosmetologist and barber. Spanish Fly is backed by entrepreneur and philanthropist Brook Smith, whose investments in the community have helped attract a new creative class to the city, and whose future plans dive even deeper into the city’s business and non-profit bedrock. “The opportunity to elevate and support our community through creativity and talent attraction is a privileged obligation, bringing us back to what is truly important,” Smith said. “Adal is the real deal. Authentic and amazing.” Spanish Fly is a full-service barbershop open seven days a week at 626 E. Market St. Traditional haircuts are $25 with other service offerings including a botanical wash and conditioning, beard trim and shape up, full head shaves and more. Keeping in family tradition, Spanish Fly exclusively uses authentic, handmade, plant-based custom products such as raw aloe vera (mixed in-house), peppermint shampoo, cilantro conditioner and more. 52
“We are pleased to provide exceptional customer service by bringing transparency, flexibility and fair pricing to our patients and the dental care industry” says Dr. Denny Brummett of YourToothFairy. YourToothFairy was launched in Kentucky in 2017 and is planning to expand nationwide within the next few months. For more information, go to yourtoothfairy.com.

GROVES, AMELIA “MILLIE” Amelia “Millie” Groves, 103, of Louisville, passed away July 13, 2018. She was the third child of 11 children and was born in Louisville, Kentucky on Aug. 28, 1914, to the late Rose and Henry Kaelin Sr. She was preceded in death by her husband, Ernest Groves Sr.; her parents; five brothers, Fred, Carl, Louis, Albert and Martin; and two sisters, France Garrity and Barbara Ann Kaelin. She was also preceded in death by her daughter-in-law, Gay Hammond Groves; son-in-law, Michael Schaffer, M.D.; and a granddaughter, Gwynne Groves. She is survived by her children, Ernie Groves and Kathy Schaffer Palk (Roy); her grandchildren, Gabriella Mendoza, Lyndi Barnhill (Kevin) and Jason Schaffer (Tina). Great-grandchildren who survive her are Julia Mendoza, Aaron Moyers, Alyssa Barnhill, Jason Barnhill, Alex Barnhill and Tatum and Ashlyn Schaffer. She is also survived by one great great-grandson, Avery Cooper, and siblings, Henry Kaelin Jr., Joe
Kaelin and Carolyn Nolan. Millie, a very devout Catholic, was a life-long member of Holy Trinity Church. She attended Ursuline High School for a period of time, and in 1968, she proudly earned her GED at age 54. As a teenager, she worked at Plehn’s Bakery in St. Matthews and then at the Brown Hotel in Louisville, where she met her future husband, Ernie Groves. She was later employed at Artmaster when she was in her early 40s and retired from there in her early 70s. At age 90, she was asked what three things were the most important in her life.

pets of the week Who’s that kitty with a “come hither” look? It’s Grace! Grace is a one-year-old grey Domestic Shorthair cat with a low, rumbling voice and a love of pets. Grace may not be the biggest fan of being held, but she does love to cuddle up and get some snuggles. She’s a great girl looking for a forever friend to keep her happy the rest of her days. Could that someone be you? She’s spayed, microchipped and up-to-date on her vaccinations. Come, gaze into those gorgeous eyes and fall in love! Come meet Grace today at the Preston Feeders Supply, 5763 Preston Highway. For more on Grace or any of our adoptable pets, please call 502-366-3355 or visit kyhumane.org. Meet River, a playful Pit Bull Terrier mix on a journey to find her forever home. Little River came to the Kentucky Humane Society when her owner determined they did not have enough time for her. Even though she’s moved around a bit, River is still a cheerful, energetic pup and is eager to learn. When she first arrived at the shelter, River needed some help with her manners. We sent her into our Behavior Modification program where she has learned a lot and we have learned just how smart River is! River now knows that if she wants anything, she must sit for it. Along with knowing sit, down, place, and hand target, River also knows rollover and is learning both army crawl and play dead! This brown-eyed beauty has also done very well with dogs during her time at KHS and would love an active dog to be her best friend. Could you be the one River has been looking for? Come visit her today! She is spayed, microchipped and up-to-date on her shots. Come meet River today at the Pewee Valley Feeders Supply, 12406 La Grange Road. For more on River or any of our adoptable pets, please call 502-366-3355 or visit kyhumane.org. For more on any of our adoptable pets, please call 502.366.3355 or visit kyhumane.org 55
