I have often joked that when I lived in Chicago, on weekends I would throw on a pair of jeans and go to watch sports somewhere. When I lived in Los Angeles, I would put on a pair of shorts and head to the theater to enjoy a movie. When I moved to Louisville, my Saturday nights were spent donning an evening gown and attending a charity gala. While it’s true that Louisville is a model Compassionate City (thanks Mayor Fischer!)—officially since 11-1111—I don’t think there is a better representation of the depths of that compassion than WLKY’s Bell Awards. However, you likely won’t find the fine folks recognized with a prestigious Bell Award at a black-tie gala or even photographed within the pages of The VoiceTribune’s society galleries. That’s because the people honored each year are typically the individuals who are behind-the-scenes, putting in the manpower to jumpstart what are often small and littleknown, but no less incredibly worthy causes. Read more about the history of The Bell Awards as it celebrates 40 years in our feature story by Thomas Pack, and stay tuned as we uncover some of the powerful stories of this year’s winners prior to the awards ceremony on October 20 at The Galt House. We climbed aboard The Belle of Louisville on an early sweltering weekday morning to recreate the image of the founding board members of The Bell Awards from 40 years ago. Getting access to the famous “bell atop the Belle” looked a little bit like a scene from “Mission Impossible,” involving some feats of strength, flexibility and nimble prowess—those with a fear of heights need not apply. But, Tonya Abeln the notable and accomplished board members of this year’s awards navigated it expertly in dress shoes and business suits. From the charitable and sincere Bell Awards, to the opulent and glamorous prize package created by Kentucky Opera! I’m just giddy with excitement reading Minda Honey’s feature on the MVP (Most Valuable Patron) contest under way currently for Kentucky Opera: A $1000 shopping spree at Outlet Shoppes of the Bluegrass, Raymond Weil’s timepieces from Davis Jewelers, a Porsche to drive on opening night of the season’s three shows, hair and makeup services, fine dining preceding the shows—the astonishing list goes on and on. Read on to find out how you can be the lucky winner! (Here’s a hint: go to kyopera.org). Who will become Kentucky Opera’s Most Valuable Patron?

Forty years of honoring local volunteers

eJrry Stith of Shepherdsville founded the Opal’s Dream Foundation, a nonprofit organization that serves nursing home residents who depend on Medicaid as their only means of support. The organization has provided motorized wheelchairs, dentures and even popcorn makers and jukeboxes. Prospect resident Surekha Kulkarni has launched entrepreneurial ventures that teach refugees how to make their own jewelry and reach financial independence. The nonprofit Beaded Treasures Project has helped more than 100 refugee women. Louisvillian Helen Schmitt has been head seamstress for St. Joseph Children’s Home for more than five decades. She led the Sewing Society to create crib linens, bibs, pillowcases, quilts and clothing for the children. Schmitt, Kulkarni and Stith are just three of several people recognized during last year’s WLKY Bell Awards, the annual celebration of Louisville-area residents who donate their time and talents to enhance our community. WLKY is now gearing up for this year’s awards, which will be the 40th anniversary of the honors. The founding board members: Leonard B. Marshall, Chairman/ Louisville Trust Bank, Dr. Eugene Petrik, President/ Bellarmine, Clyde Glass, President/Merchants Ice and Cold Storage Company and Paul Blue, President & General Manager/ WLKY-TV. A press conference was held on Belle of Louisville on July 11, 1978.

Kentuckiana area can be nominated. It doesn’t matter how the individual has given their time and talent or whom the nominee serves. It could be a charity, school, community agency or faith-based organization. The program gets about 60 to 85 nominations every year. This year there are nearly 70, and ten Bell Award winners will be chosen. The WLKY Spirit of Louisville Foundation Board of Trustees selects the honorees based on the following: • The average number of hours volunteered • The diversity of the nominee’s volunteer activities • What defines the nominee as an “outstanding” volunteer Winners of the award receive a trophy, and Jill Bell emphasizes, “this year, for the first time, Republic Bank is an overall sponsor of the program. That’s going to allow us to also give every person who receives a Bell Award a $500 gift that they can make to the charity of their choice.” Republic Bank is also sponsoring 10-person tables for the award recipients so they can bring their family members and friends to the ceremony. WLKY-TV General Manager Glenn Haygood.

IT’S LIKE THE “LOCAL OSCARS”

Nominations were accepted through June 30, the winners will be announced by the end of August and the 2017 Bell Awards will be presented during a gala on October 20. The ceremony will again be our community’s premier recognition of outstanding local citizens who never seek a spotlight for themselves — Kentuckiana residents who might otherwise remain unsung heroes even though they form the backbone of our community. “I’m thrilled to live in a community that truly realizes the importance and the impact of volunteerism. I do think we are a compassionate city,” said Jill Bell, Vice President and Chief Marketing and Communications Officer for Passport Health Plan — as well as the chair of this year’s Bell Awards. “I think it’s wonderful that a TV station recognizes these heroes,” she said. “Most of them go about their work and volunteer time not for any recognition at all but just to make our community a special place. I cry every year because some of the stories these people tell and the differences they’ve made in other people’s lives are just phenomenal.” WHO’S ELIGIBLE FOR A BELL AWARD? The awards were established in 1978 when WLKY founded the Spirit of Louisville Foundation, which is comprised of a range of community and business leaders who donate their time. During the past four decades, the award has been presented to more than 390 citizens. Any unpaid individual volunteer living in the

Jill Bell is an outstanding volunteer herself. She has contributed her time to the award program for more than 20 years, and she previously served as chair in the 1990s. But she’s quick to give credit for the program’s success to WLKY Program & Community Affairs Coordinator Debbie Roberson, who has been with the program since its inception. “Debbie really is the person who makes the foundation and the award program what it is,” Bell said. “She’s amazing.” Roberson, in turn, said the credit goes to the foundation and to the WLKY team for a station-wide commitment and effort. “We have anchors Rick Van Hoose and Vicki Dortch emcee the ceremony every year, and then we have 12 other news personalities who volunteer their time to be there. They are designated to sit at each winner’s table. We feel like this provides a little extra celebrity power for the event. A winner goes to a table and there’s, say, Chief Meteorologist Jay Cardosi sitting there, eating dinner with them, and talking about their volunteer efforts. “From the engineering and the production side, just to set up and get the room ready for the ceremony is a significant effort. We basically are doing two events in one because we have the celebration where we honor the volunteers, but then WLKY is videoing all of this so we can come back and edit it down to a one-hour special that airs in prime time the following week. From a technical standpoint, it’s an all-hands-on-deck event.” The winners are “very humble people who help the community without expecting any recognition and

A SPECIAL HONOR Muhammad Ali said, “Service to others is the rent you pay for your room here on Earth.” During last year’s awards ceremony, the WLKY Spirit of Louisville Foundation and Louisville Mayor Greg Fischer presented a special posthumous award to Ali. This Mayor’s Spirit of Louisville Award recognized the Louisville legend’s lifetime of humanitarian efforts. “It’s a huge award for Muhammad and the family to be recognized by his hometown in this way,” Lonnie Ali said, “and it represents everything he stood for. Without Louisville, Muhammad never would have gotten his start. This was his home. This was his foundation. These were the people who supported him before he had anything. …. They were his first fans.” She added praise for all of the Bell Award recipients: “I applaud each and every one of them because they’re living their lives in service to other people, and they set the example. They are the living example of what we should be doing.” The foundation also surprised Lonnie Ali with her own award for all the work she’s done in the community.

“I have served on the WLKY Spirit of Louisville Board for many years and it is an honor to be involved with this great organization. While I was president of Baptist Hospital, it gave me an opportunity to reward and acknowledge the great volunteers we had within our healthcare system.” - Sue Tamme, board member since 1999.

they are always highly appreciative of the tremendous effort that goes into the ceremony,” Roberson added. “A few years ago, one recipient said to me, ‘I remember these awards from when I was a young child. Our family always gathered around the TV and watched it every year. And then to think that I got a letter that said I was a winner — to me this is like getting a local Oscar award.’” YOUTH SERVICE HONORS In addition to the adult volunteers, the Bell Awards recognize two young people every year. The Youth Service Honor was established in 1994 because the foundation often would get nominations for high school students “who display a passion for community service,” but “there wasn’t a fair way to judge them against somebody who was in their 40s or 50s and had been involved in volunteer efforts for two or three decades,” Roberson said. One of the Youth Service Honor recipients last year was Simpsonville resident Noelle Thompson, who founded a community initiative called Break Through 4 a Buddy. It fosters friendships and group social activities for students and adults with intellectual and physical disabilities. The other recipient was Louisvillian Holly Zoeller, who founded a chapter of Operation Smile at Assumption High School. An international nonprofit organization, Operation Smile raises funds for medical volunteers to perform surgeries that correct cleft palates on children in developing countries. Each Youth Service Award winner receives a plaque and a $3,000 scholarship provided by SealMaster of Kentucky.

THE CORPORATE HONORED VOLUNTEER PROGRAM Louisville has so many outstanding citizens that it would be impossible to honor them all. That’s why the foundation established the Corporate Honored Volunteer Program in 1986. This program gives companies and other organizations a way to recognize their own employees for volunteer activities. Metro United Way is sponsoring the program this year in commemoration of its 100th anniversary. The foundation lets companies use their own criteria and selection method for the honorees, who receive a certificate and lapel pin. There is no cost to organizations for participating in the program other than the purchase of tables or seats for the awards banquet. The ticket price for a Corporate Table (10 seats) is $1,000. For $1,250, an organization can purchase a Contributing Sponsor table, which includes 10 seats and special recognition in the printed program, a video presentation, and on the WLKY website. An individual seat is $100. About 20 companies participate in the Corporate Honored Volunteer Program every year. For more information on how your organization can get involved, contact Roberson at droberson@hearst.com or 891-4811. The 40th Annual Bell Awards will be presented in the Galt House East Grand Ballroom on October 20. To buy tickets, get more information or make a donation to the Bell Awards program and help the foundation continue to recognize volunteers throughout our community, visit www.wlkybellawards.com.

Derrer says, “This is the first time we’ve done anything like this. It’s a great opportunity to bring many of our partners and sponsors together. It’s an exciting time.

Ginny Washbish, marketing coordinator at Davis Jewelers, says the family-owned business is thrilled to have the opportunity to support the Kentucky Opera and young professionals who may be experiencing the opera for the first time. “It’s nice to be able to get young people involved with the arts and Davis Jewelers is the perfect match with Raymond Weil – It’s like the stars aligned!” She explained, “Raymond Weil has this really awesome connection to art and music, that’s what inspires them. That’s how they make their timepieces, by looking at all of these musical inspirations from orchestras to different singers

and songwriters to different dances.” As a part of the contest, Davis Jewelers is giving away his and hers Raymond Weil luxury Swiss timepieces. Raymond Weil’s watches are 100 percent Swiss-made and the set is from the watchmaker’s “Tango” line featuring a Mother of Pearl dial with diamonds for the ladies and a decorative dial for the gentlemen. Washbish says his and hers timepieces are special because they “complement both your styles and personalities but at the same time when you put them together it’s a perfect match. It’s a great way of looking at a couple and seeing what they both bring to the relationship.” What better to go with luxury watches than designer outfits? Winners will also receive $1,000 to spend at the Outlet Shoppes of the Bluegrass. Marketing director Amy Duke says the outlet is excited to “showcase what we have out here and to be a part of such an elevated experience is something we’re very proud of.” They are even offering to pair the winner with a retailer to style them for the evening. “We want to help them find exactly what they’re looking for, so when they’re making their red carpet entrance they feel confident in what they’re wearing.” No matter your taste, the Outlet Shoppes is sure to have a shop in your fashion flavor from Saks OFF 5th to Ann Taylor, from Kate Spade to Coach. A Tory Burch store is scheduled to open in August and two yet-to-be-announced shops will be making their debut later into the fall. Blue Grass Motorsport has supported the Kentucky Opera for more than two decades with car raffles, the first being a Porsche Boxster in the mid-90s, so president, co-owner and opera lover Jim Haynes is thrilled to let the winner of the KY Opera’s MVP contest take the best Porsche on their lot out for a spin on each of the season’s opening nights, “So they can show off the car and have a complete experience of the true-precision engineering driving that Porsche offers. It’s basically a race car that can go comfortably and dependably on the road every day.” For not just one, but three nights, the lucky MVP winner will go from someone who’s looking longingly at the Porsche that’s just glided up beside them at the light to the

The Education of a Lifetime By Mariah Kline | Profile

n the last few decades, educators have made great strides in adapting how they mold young minds, regardless of how they learn or what skill set they may have. In our modern world it’s easy to forget the days before individualized learning plans and other helpful tools were available to so many children. However, Sister Anne Rita Mauck remembers those days quite well because she was there in the classroom, seeing a need where others did not. Sister Anne Rita founded The de Paul School for children with learning differences in 1970. A true pioneer of education, she spent her career developing curriculum and overseeing the education of students who would have fallen far behind in a traditional school setting. On July 29 the institution she started is celebrating her ninetieth birthday which falls on the following day. Sister Anne Rita, who originally wanted to be a nurse, joined the Sisters of Charity of Nazareth in September 1945. After two and a half years of training, she began teaching elementary school and in 1965 she came to Louisville to teach at St. Gabriel Elementary. Throughout her early years, she encountered a number of children who she knew were intelligent, but had a great amount of difficulty absorbing her lessons. “We saw a lot of kids in those days who were intelligent, but just weren’t learning,” she explains. In the late 1960s, Sister Anne Rita was introduced to the work of Dr. Charles Shedd, who studied children with dyslexia. Mauck and her colleagues met with the psychiatrist, who taught them how to test their students for learning differences and helped set Mauck’s work into motion. After gaining this insight, she started a program for these students at St. Gabriel’s and soon people from all over the city wanted their children to be a part of it. Shortly thereafter, they outgrew this program and The de Paul School was born. Since its inception, de Paul has graduated almost 3,500 students. As of now, statistics show that only 68 percent of students with learning differences graduate from high school versus 98 percent of dePaul students who finish high school. The de Paul model has been adopted by many other schools around the nation. All 3,500 of these graduates and countless other people who have been affected by Sister Anne Rita’s groundbreaking work have her to thank for providing an alternative to traditional learning. When she wasn’t changing lives and transforming the educational system, Sister Anne Rita did a great deal of traveling. While she now resides at Nazareth Home and doesn’t have adventures like she used to, she does feel fortunate for the experiences she was able to have. She’s seen Europe, Asia, Central America, Mexico and more, but the adventure that holds the most significance to her is a trip she took to Donegal, Ireland. “I’ve had a lot of advantages being able to travel as much as I have,” she says. “My dad’s mother was Irish so I always wanted to go there. Getting to do that and see where my family came from meant so much to me.” All alumni, friends and supporters of Sister Anne Rita’s work are invited to celebrate with her at de Paul on July 29. While she may

Immediately following the end of UofL’s 2016 home season, work began on a $63 million project that will fully enclose the stadium and make it a true bowl. The upgrade will add 10,000 seats to the facility, and will also introduce field level suites and additional club level suites. The stadium expansion was originally set to be completed by the start of the 2019 season, but an overwhelming amount of fundraising support has allowed UofL to bump that projected finish date by an entire year. Before last football season had even wrapped up, UofL’s “Coming Full Circle” campaign had raised about $47 million in donations and sold all 12 of the field level suites and premium boxes in the new end zone structure. “The incredible amount of support we received right out of the gate for this project allowed us to bump the timeline up by a full year,” said UofL senior associate athletic director Mark Jurich. “Everything is on time and under budget right now. The new goal has been to have this thing all done and ready by the start of the season in 2018. We’re still on that timeline and

J U LY 2 7 , 2 0 1 7 • V O I C E -T R I B U N E . C O M

before the 2017 season begins. In the coming weeks, structural steel and pre-cast concrete will begin to connect all of the towers together to give the “new” Papa John’s Cardinal Stadium its new skeleton. In addition to the work being done to the stadium, UofL is also giving a facelift to the Howard Schnellenberger Complex. The building, which includes an indoor practice facility, weight room and the meeting rooms and offices for the Cardinal coaching staff, has existed behind the north

end zone since the opening of PJCS. Once the project is complete, the team’s weight room and conditioning center will double in size, creating a total of 20,000 square feet of work space for Louisville football to operate within. A project this massive doesn’t come without its fair share of headaches. For example, Petrino and his staff will be forced to relocate from their offices until the new Schnellenberger Complex is completed. Additionally, fans whose pregame and postgame activities typically take place around the north end of the stadium may be forced to deal with a bit more clutter this season than they have in years past. “Like we shared with Coach Petrino, as with anything else, there are going to be some growing pains here,” Jurich said. “Luckily there aren’t many fans who tailgate in that north end zone area. Fans in the platinum lots or the green lots or the bronze lots won’t be affected at all. It’s definitely going to be more of a nuisance to the players and coaches than

the fans.” In the end, it’s a temporary nuisance that everyone associated with the upgrade believes will be more than made up for by the finished project. That finished project will come at a time when the hype and excitement surrounding Louisville football figure to be near an alltime high. “The appetite for football around Louisville, especially with the rise of the ACC, has never been greater,” Jurich said. “We’ve had a waiting list for season tickets for three or four years now. You put those things together and it was clear that this was the right time to expand. With everything we do, we want to provide our student athletes with the best facilities possible so that they can compete for championships. We want all of our facilities to exceed our original expectations when they’re finished, and I think this one is going to do just that. It’s going to completely transform our stadium and elevate it to a whole different level.” VT

While he maintains a positive outlook on 7-on-7 – as the ‘AAU’ of football - there still remains speculation towards travel teams, as some skeptics have become reserved as to whether to throw all their eggs in one basket of such organizations. Durant has been aware of that, even naming a couple of well known coaches in the college ranks. “You have David Shaw out of Stanford and Urban Meyer out of Ohio State that have both said they would never offer a kid a scholarship out of a 7-on7,” he says. And while Durant is an assistant coach with his travel team Go Hard Elite, he’s still confident that the league will spark interest for many college coaches. “Coaches may not offer a scholarship solely on 7-on-7, but what does happen is that they gain interest. You see a guy

J U LY 2 7 , 2 0 1 7 • V O I C E -T R I B U N E . C O M

“The season cranks up in January and it ends in the second week in June,” Durant adds. “We have our tryout the first week in January and we try to travel in the last week in January. We then fund raise and just practice the entire month of February to help the kids out because its travel ball. We practice and fund raise for the entire month of February, and then participate in maybe one or two tournaments a month which leads to the National Tournament, which is held in Dallas, Texas at The Cowboy’s stadium.” He says 7-on-7 ball has been on the rise since 2011, and companies like Nike and Adidas are starting to “pour their money” into it, but there is a definite need community wise to help support teams. The league creates a unique opportunity for players to showcase their skills around the nation, as teams in the Southeastern conference within Top Gun are able to travel to states

such as Tennessee, Georgia, Florida, Alabama and South Carolina to compete. At this point, recruiting sites like 247Sports and MaxPreps are heavily involved to provide information to the public and high school coaches. But while the NCAA maintains regulations on college coaches to attend specific NCAA events, Durant is still confident Division I coaches are gaining inside information about players who participate in travel ball. Who does he point to as evidence? U of L wide receiver Justin Marshall. The 6-foot-2, 189-pound wide out, played for Go Hard Elite, and as a sophomore “didn’t have a single college offer,” Durant says. But by the time he was a senior, he had 36. He says it all started when the team participated in a showcase in Alabama, and a senior sports writer for the Alabama Crimson Tide noticed Marshall and his talent. He began to inquire about who he was, and vowed to post information about him via social

media since Alabama was not actively recruiting him. Well, when you have the senior sports writer for Alabama - which is arguably the most dominant college football program in the last decade – interested and providing interest to the public, somebody is going to pay attention. So Durant says, with so much upside and promise Marshall’s mailbox overflowed during his senior year of high school. Durant remains a firm believer that people are definitely watching, and even challenges other states to become believers in the rise of 7-on-7 football. “Florida has a 7-on-7 state tournament. All the teams in north, Central and South Florida play, and then they meet in Orlando in the Citrus Bowl and they have a state championship tournament. So you can call it what you want to, but if the best states for high school football in America are actively and aggressively pursuing this avenue, then everybody else needs to get on board too.” VT

SPOTLIGHT

Lemonade Day

To educate children on the operation of a small business and help teach important life skills, Lemonade Day will be coming back for year two in Louisville next spring. To learn more about this wonderful endeavor and how it’s changing the community, we spoke with Lemonade Day Louisville City Director Lauren Coulter. What is Lemonade Day? Lemonade day is a fun and interactive way for kids to learn how to start their own business using a lemonade stand. The program has 15 lessons that teach the basic principles of creating a product, buying materials, paying back investors, then deciding what to do with the profit. The kids are encouraged to “spend” some on themselves, “save” some for the future and “share” with a person or organization in their community. These lessons are taught through a workbook and are then put into action through an experiential event – the creation of their actual lemonade stand. All participants receive a backpack that contains the training materials, a “mentor guide” for mentor participation, and fun rewards, such as a piggy bank for their savings, from our partners. The program is entirely free to participants. What is its history in Louisville? Lemonade Day national has been around for 10 years now, but we just had our first Lemonade Day here in Louisville. We will be having our second Lemonade Day in Spring 2018! Why is it important for the greater community? The foremost objective of Lemonade Day is to empower youth to take ownership of their lives and become productive members of society – the business leaders, social advocates, volunteers and forward-thinking citizens of tomorrow. Financial literacy is acquired through skills that are often learned outside of the traditional classroom. Many children in Louisville have no one to teach these much needed skills. Lemonade Day participants acquire 21st-century skills in the specific areas of goal-setting and problem solving, and they gain self-esteem – all of which are critical skills for future success.

J U LY 2 7 , 2 0 1 7 • V O I C E -T R I B U N E . C O M

How do you hope it affects change in Louisville’s youth? The Lemonade Day program builds healthy communities through targeting six of the 40 Developmental Assets to include Social Competencies (Planning and Decision Making), Positive Identity (Personal Power, Self-Esteem, Sense of Purpose, Positive View of Personal Future) and Empowerment (Community Values Youth). The Louisville community benefited from the Lemonade Day program this year as evidenced by participants who reported in their lemonade stand business results. Participants saw average revenues of $247, with the highest revenue stand selling $572 of lemonade and goodies. The average profit was $202; 90 percent of participants paid back their investor. Additionally, 90 percent of participants “shared” a portion of their profits with the community, with an average share amount of $80. These “shared” donations were given to local organizations like Cedar Lake Lodge, WHAS Crusade for Children and Blessings in a Backpack. We hope that year two will bring increased program participation. We would expect to see these results expand throughout the Louisville community, propelling a wide variety of youth to success they likely would not have pursued otherwise. Any big developments on the horizon? In year one, we piloted Lemonade Day in six of the YMCA CEP sites, reaching 180 kids through this avenue alone. An additional 200 kids participated “one on one,” working through program materials with a mentor. Our goal is build on each of our recruitment channels, increasing our involvement

with YMCA CEP sites and “one on one” child-parent/ mentor participation throughout the Louisville community. Our goal for the next two years is to grow participation in this project in areas of Louisville where increases in education, and specifically in financial literacy, would have the greatest impact. The Greater Louisville Project’s (GLP) 2015 Competitive City Report showed that four neighborhoods (Russell, Portland, Phoenix Hill/Smoketown/Shelby Park and South Central Louisville) have the greatest challenges and barriers in the areas of health, education, employment, earning potential and even life expectancy, and therefore have the most potential to benefit from this program. Our goal would be to employ targeted recruitment strategies in these neighborhoods, working closely with trusted organizations in these neighborhoods (churches, community centers, etc.) to help increase awareness and participation. How can readers get involved? We would love to engage more kids in Lemonade Day! Whether it be through social organizations, youth clubs, Big Brothers Big Sisters, Girl and Boy Scouts – we would love to engage more kids. If readers would like to bring Lemonade Day to their group, they can reach out to me at lauren@lemonadeday.org. Additionally, we are raising funds for year two of this endeavor. They can give online at louisville.lemonadeday.org. VT Lemonade Day Spring 2018 louisville.lemonadeday.org

Raising the Barre By Mariah Kline | Health & Wellness

he Barre Code is not your average group fitness program. I recently spent a morning at the Middletown location, where instructor Heather Thomas led me through an intense hour in a Total Body Conditioning class. Barre Code opened a little over two years ago and has a variety of classes that anyone at any age can participate in. Traditional Barre Code, Burn (which takes place in their hot studio), BarRestore and others are offered to provide a one-stop shop no matter what you ‘re interested in trying. And if you already have a running or cycling routine in place, barre can be a great addition to your regimen if you want to increase your flexibility or strengthen your muscles. Heather, who has taught group fitness since 2005, was led to barre after tearing her ACL. While they provide a full body workout, the exercises in barre classes don’t have the heavy impact that other forms of exercise can have. Since many bodily injuries are caused by lifting a heavy object or while doing a household task, the instructors at Barre Code teach a core workout that will help anyone leading an active lifestyle.

“When we talk about the core, we don’t really mean your abs,” she says. “It’s your powerhouse that teaches you full body awareness so you don’t injure yourself. Barre sets you up to have good alignment and a good connection with your body even when you’re outside of class doing day-to-day activities.” In the Total Body Conditioning class I attended, we did a number of strength training and cardio exercises. To get our heart rates up, we repeatedly stepped on and off an exercise disk. We also did lunges Photo Courtesy of Barre Code. and planks while holding either the disk or a medicine ball. Throughout the exercises, Heather gave us alternative options or ways to modify an exercise if it felt too challenging. We finished with some restorative stretches as we held onto the barre and eased our tired muscles. After the fifty minute workout was over, I felt tired but also refreshed and accomplished (I also felt hungry so I stopped at the nearby Taco Bell for a balanced meal that supplied

me with both protein and carbohydrates). The atmosphere at Barre Code was welcoming and positive, and I never felt pressured to go beyond my limits. “We really encourage people to set the pace that is right for them each time,” says Heather. “Safety is also important to us so we try to coach people throughout and urge them to ask questions if they’re not sure how to do something.” The positive atmosphere at Barre Code is fueled in part by the company’s set of core values, called the Actionable 8. These eight principles can apply not only to physical fitness but also to life. They include “Look inward before projecting outward” and “Be the bright spot of someone’s day.” Whether you’re looking for an intense workout or just a way to connect with others, I recommend you try living by the Barre Code.

The La Chasse menu for aperitif and sparkling cocktails is as inventive and original as the ever-evolving food menu.

Chef Andrew Welenken, Connecting with Palates and Hearts

ndrew Welenken is a risk-taking chef who’s invigorated by having no boundaries as he redefines the concept of fine dining.

“Fine dining is changing. I think of this restaurant as fine dining with open arms, no stuffiness and no white tablecloths,” says Welenken, the new executive chef at La Chasse. He’s having fun setting free his passion for food and cooking. Far from abandoning the restaurant’s original character of rustic European, and Southern French and Spanish fusion, he’s using it as a backdrop to explore and innovate. “People had

J U LY 2 7 , 2 0 1 7 • V O I C E -T R I B U N E . C O M

begun to think of La Chasse as another French restaurant. It was never intended to be that and I’m excited about expanding beyond that perception,” he says. La Chasse, which means “the hunt,” features a variety of game, but Welenken is also crafting classic fish and seafood dishes as well as his own interpretations of traditional. “I cook what’s on my mind or with what farmers and special suppliers present to me. I want to give our customers a creative dining experience with a bit of the exotic and a lot of the unexpected,” says the chef. He’s taking diners on an excursion through the wild and in the water. A riff on fried chicken, the Kentucky fried rabbit in a mushroom truffle gravy (à la financière) is paired with smoked Gouda

Weisenberger grits and bacon-braised chard. Another game selection is wild boar meatballs stuffed with Benton’s bacon, a dish that has been deemed a 12 on a rating scale of 1 to 10. A wood-grilled whole branzino on charred lemon-caper aioli, served over summer squash and roasted parsnips, is topped with caramelized lemon leek brown butter and fresh herbs. It’s vying for first place among La Chasse entrées. Welenken was brimming with menu ideas for La Chasse even before his first day on the job. “I hadn’t set foot in the kitchen but I had put what was in my heart on a piece of paper. Once I got here and realized how talented the staff was, I sat down with them to see how we could take it to another level. My chef de

cuisine, Christina Dyer, is very talented and I wanted her input. I’m ready to put our heads together so we can change the menu for the fall. I think we have the best menu in the city now, but it’s going to be 20 times better.” He’s having fun with some of the risks he’s taking with diners who he initially thought might balk at sweetbreads or octopus, the rabbit or a fish full of bones. Cooking outside the parameters of what “everybody else” is doing is paying off. “People are going crazy over those dishes,” he says. Unlike the practice of some chefs, his specials aren’t last-minute, or even day-of, inspirations. He relaxes with a bourbon the night before and unleashes his imagination. La Chasse’s open kitchen design enables guests to view the action that Welenken finely orchestrates. He thrives on the close proximity with diners, often talking to them as he’s working. “They have so much more knowledge about ingredients and technique today than they did a few years ago. They’re also curious. The other night a guy asked me how I make the octopus so tender. I love questions like that. And I love the way my food connects with people’s palates and their hearts.” VT La Chasse 1359 Bardstown Road 502-822-3963 lachasselouisville.com La Chasse Chef Andrew Welenken.

Little Blak Dress HOW A LOCAL BOUTIQUE PRODUCES SUSTAINABLE FASHIONS FROM START TO FINISH By Kellie Doligale | Fashion & Beauty

he American fashion industry is the most lucrative in the world, valued at approximately $359 billion in 2015. While the majority of designers and retailers focus on carving out the biggest slice possible of the profit pie, a select few are instead turning their attention to ethical, sustainable practices that buyers can feel good about as well. One such wunderkind is Amanda Dare Dougherty, owner and operator of The New Blak. Beyond selling conscientious styles, Dougherty also designs the garments available at her storefront in the Oxmoor Mall. Together with a small team of seamstresses, she carefully assembles little black dresses and figure-flattering separates in the store’s back room, thereby removing the sequence of middlemen all too prevalent and often unfair in the fashion industry. “We embrace slow fashion, which is about higher quality pieces that you keep in your wardrobe for a long time,” says Dougherty. “It’s all hand-cut in the creative studio in the back of our store. I have no back stock. After the seamstresses make a garment, it goes straight out onto the floor after it’s been cleaned and ironed. We’re part of every process. We have a massive connection to the clothing, and we want that for our customer.” As a former retail manager at a fast-fashion store, Dougherty says she received 30 to 50 boxes of inventory a day. With no idea who designed or produced the garments and therefore no personal connection to them, she found herself quickly running through paychecks just to keep up with trends. The result was a closet full of inexpensive, poorly-made and likely wasteful clothes. “When I came out of those jobs, I didn’t have a lot of extra cash,” she explains. “I had just worked two years of my life and so much of my income was gone. When I started this business, I was my own target customer. None of our garments are over $112, and we have stuff in our store that’s as little as $2.50. We want to be open to every price point and age.”

J U LY 2 7 , 2 0 1 7 • V O I C E -T R I B U N E . C O M

Dougherty’s hands-on business began as a blog three years ago with a mission to “support, empower and encourage women through a sustainable and ethical wardrobe.” In early 2015, Dougherty and her then-partners launched a Kickstarter to raise a launch budget of $5,000 for their first sample styles and start-up costs. A year after they first went into production, she bought out her partners and embarked on a “mobile boutique.” Working out of a 1991 Ford E350 shuttle bus affectionately named “Betty,” Dougherty brought her fashions to events such as festivals and private parties starting in April 2016. A year later, she transitioned to the current storefront in Oxmoor while Betty rested on the sideline. “I’m not sure if I’ll go back to the bus or not, but I loved the experience and feel like it was the best way for me to get my name out there. Driving a massive billboard is really useful for marketing.” Clever advertising aside, garments from The New Blak need little explanation. Dougherty’s smart, breezy designs prove that modern fashion can still be timeless. Because the dresses, tops, jumpsuits and skirts mostly stick to a solid grayscale pallet, they’re easy to style countless ways. Made from 95% bamboo, they’re also intensely comfortable. Further, each piece is made thoughtfully right there in the store, eschewing the unfair labor practices often adopted by overseas manufacturers.

“The entire store look and the clothing line is from my imagination. Once the design is sketched out, we’ll draft a paper pattern as a guide to cut the fabric and grade them in each size. We work on the pattern-making process while we wait for the fabric to arrive, so we spend probably 20 or 30 hours on a piece before the fabric is even cut.” Dougherty points out that with social media driving the pressure to not only look good but also look unique in photos, consumers have an opportunity to reconcile their budgets with their appearance by purchasing investment pieces like her versatile styles. “Clothing has a life cycle of two to five wears when you buy it from a fast fashion company,” she explains. “You can wear a dress like mine 365 times, and that saves so much money per wear. If you buy quality pieces that you can mix and match, you won’t need as much and don’t spend as much.” To extend the life of such pieces, she stresses the importance of washing instructions: “People over-wash their clothes, and the washing and drying process really puts the fabric to the test. We do really stress this at The New Blak. We always want you to wash it in cold and then hang it dry. Read the care instructions, pay attention to them, and follow them. Whoever made your clothing has thought about it.” It seems there is no facet of her business Dougherty hasn’t given due consideration, which would be impressive on its own not accounting that she’s self-taught. Having found such success with no formal fashion or business education, she now hopes to empower other women with useful skills and a supportive network. The New Blak recently began hosting sewing classes and private tutorials or parties, which Dougherty plans to build upon as she simultaneously develops the Fall 2017 line called “Go Getter.” The New Blak’s mission of empowerment runs deep and far beyond a great LBD. The store represents the idea that doing the right thing can lead to a creative and fulfilling career. “We have so many facets to our business,” Dougherty says, “but I really just want our girl gang to feel the same amazing feelings I have when I’m around the seamstresses and stylists here. We can make a big impact.” VT The New Blak thenewblak.com shopthenewblak@gmail.com 7900 Shelbyville Rd.

The Music Man In Our River City By Graham Pillote | Arts & Entertainment

our summer may be filled with pool noodles, sunshine, and even patriotic parades, but there’s still something you’re definitely missing. Yes, you’ve got trouble, right here in River City – that is, unless you head to Derby Dinner Playhouse right now to catch their summer production of The Music Man. Lee Buckholz, artistic director and associate producer at Derby Dinner Playhouse, is excited to welcome audiences. “It’s a fun way to spend an evening with the family, a full evening of entertainment, dinner and a show,” he explains. Derby Dinner produces shows year-round, but for this summer’s performance, the company has chosen classic Broadway hit The Music Man. Set in the early 1900s, the musical has become famous for songs like “Seventy-Six Trombones,” “Goodnight, My Someone,” and “Till There Was You.” In the show, charming con man Harold Hill tricks the people of River City into creating a boys’ band for the summer. He’s planning to skip town with their money, but finds himself falling in love, with both local Marian the librarian and the charisma of small-town America. The Music Man has been produced many times since it was written in the late 1950s, but new set, lighting and costume designs all add to Derby Dinner’s unique production. “Visually, there’s a dull color palette at the beginning. Act One is mostly sepia tones,” Buckholz explains. “To me, the opening is beautiful in its monochromatic look – but then there’s this whole new breath of life in the second act, after Harold Hill mesmerizes the town.” The costumes gradually change into brighter tones, bringing a new energy to the stage. “It’s a great concept and a great design,” Buckholz says. Notably, Derby Dinner has expanded its cast for this summer. “The other thing that’s unique to this production is it’s a much larger cast than we’re used to dealing with,” Buckholz says. “It’s a big show, but you sort of have to do that to create that feeling of a real town.” While you’re watching the huge cast, be sure to keep an eye out for The Music Man’s ensemble characters – Buckholz and his team choreographed them with extra care. “You’ll see the same family units

throughout the entire production,” Buckholz explains. “And there are a few characters who are kind of outsiders – by the end, you can see how those single units start to integrate into River City.” For the audience member with a keen eye, there’s a lot to watch. “It gives our production a lot of texture and depth,” Buckholz asserts. But family, more than anything, is at the heart of this show. “The most important

moment in the show is the way the town rallies behind Harold at the end,” Buckholz says. “Not only individually, but collectively, people step forward. Despite being a flimflam man, Harold Hill brings the town together as a whole.” Buckholz says the real world can learn from The Music Man. “There’s still a really simple way to reconnect your family – even if it’s just over the dinner table or one night a week you’re spending together,” Buckholz says. “It really does have an effect.” Derby Dinner’s production of The Music Man is selling out quickly, so make your reservations soon. The show’s classic appeal, summer setting and family-oriented message are a perfect fit for anyone looking to spend an evening with their loved ones. After all, the show has endured for decades because of how it makes small moments big, and puts family in the spotlight – even with just a simple melody. “The thing I love most about this show is that at the end, the boys are honking out a terrible sound, but it’s still music to the parents’ ears. They’re still thrilled,” Buckholz says honestly. “Harold Hill does bring the town together and it’s absolutely wonderful.” VT The Music Man at Derby Dinner Playhouse Now until August 20 Tickets: $39 and up 812.288.8281 derbydinner.com

lthough Bend and Zen Hot Yoga owner Meredith Conroy ordinarily had rules to not date students, when Eric DeWitt walked into her yoga class three years ago, he became the only exception. A year and a half later, they were engaged, and on June 17, earlier this summer, they were married in a casual and laid-back affair indicative of their reflective personalities. “We met at yoga,” Conroy affirms. “He had recently moved to Louisville and was checking out a bunch of studios and found his way into my yoga class.” The couple hit it off wonderfully, and a year and a half later, DeWitt surprised Conroy with a beautifully romantic and meaningful proposal: “He surprised me on my birthday last year. He designed a really special beautiful ring and asked me at our home, which was lovely.” DeWitt had also flown in his parents, and they, along with Conroy’s parents and other close family members all enjoyed a dinner that celebrated not only the couple’s engagement but also Conroy’s birthday. As for the wedding – another year and a half later – “It was a very casual affair – I didn’t even wear shoes with my dress – it was super casual, just very close friends and family,” Conroy recounts. “We did it at The Lodge at Owl Creek – it was just a party. It was a lovely celebration, but the celebration is really getting to spend your life hanging out with your ride-or-die, your partner.” Slightly untraditionally, the event kicked off with everyone – wedding party and all – enjoying drinks and hors d’oeuvres before pausing in the middle of the celebration for the wedding itself. Following the exchange of vows, in a ceremony officiated by DeWitt’s brother-in-law Pete Wilson, everyone resumed the celebration. Conroy’s attire was BHLDN, the bridal

line of the Anthropologie franchise, with hair and makeup by Looblu Artisan Boutique and Studio owner Shawn Green, and the rings came from Koerber’s Fine Jewelry. Gorgeous flowers from Oberer’s set the scene, and guests feasted on catering from Masterson’s and a sumptuous cake by Cake Flour. Perhaps one of the most significant aspects of the wedding was a special choral surprise Conroy pulled together. “Our song is a John Prine song, ‘In Spite of Ourselves,’ so I had everyone kick off our vow exchange by singing that song,” she says. “Everyone who was there sang the girl, then the boy then we all sang the chorus.” Now, after more than a month as a married couple, Conroy and DeWitt look forward to living their happy-ever-after, which will be influenced in no small part by their shared love of yoga, the very thing that brought them together. “It’s not just the physical practice of yoga but the lifestyle components and the philosophy and what it teaches you on your mat and off – he and I are both really aligned with regard to all of that,” Conroy maintains. Indeed, it was yoga that brought them together and certainly something that will play a major role in their future as they enjoy the true peace that comes with finding your true love. As Conroy recounts of DeWitt’s vows, “He said I had him at ‘namaste.’” VT

However, I encourage you to add a touch of edgy accents to your classic, evening look. Because the opera can be cool and modern too, right?

There is no greater investment From early childhood all the way through advanced secondary degrees, there is no greater investment than education. Education in today’s world is a lifelong pursuit, with average salaries increasing with each degree earned. Average Salary by Degree $35,256 High School Diploma $41,496 Associate’s Degree $59,124 Bachelor’s Degree $69,732 Master’s Degree (Bureau of Labor Statistics, 2017) While STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Math) has received a lot of well deserved attention, STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Math, plus ARTS) deepens learning in both areas. For example, theater participation leads

to memory improvement and helps social tolerance. Music training correlates with higher reading levels and better math skills. Students who study art have a higher level of selfworth and confidence and are four times more likely to be recognized for academic achievement. At the same time that educational options have exploded with online, offline, private, charter, public and extracurricular offerings, so too has the cost of education. With so many options and so much at stake, identifying and achieving valuable educational goals requires that you are well informed, that you choose wisely, and that you make sure you have access to trusted and proven financing and support systems.

DID YOU KNOW??? Poor eyesight can lead to BAD GRADES?? One in four children in the United States will go back to school this fall with an undetected vision problem that can interfere with learning. Nearly 80% of what a child learns is obtained visually and research indicates that 70% of school-age children who have difficulty in reading have some form of visual impairment. While there are several reasons why a child may not perform well academically, it’s clear that vision has a great impact on how much and/or how quickly a child learns. Children should not be sent to school without having all the proper tools… paper, pencils, books and most importantly good vision. Despite the compelling statistics, less than half of the parents surveyed had taken their child for a comprehensive eye exam in the past year, with over 41% believing that a simple vision screening was sufficient in detecting vision problems. Research shows, however, that the simple vision screening, commonly used by a pediatrician or a school nurse, detects only 5% of all vision problems and often these screenings miss other critical vision deficiencies that can impact eye health and a child’s performance in the classroom.

Here are 10 signs to look for regarding your child’s vision difficulties: • Squinting, closing or covering one eye • Holding a book close to the face • Losing his/her place while reading • Headache, nausea or dizziness • Excessive clumsiness • Tilting the head to one side • Frequent daydreaming • Using a finger as a place mark while reading • Performing below potential • Rubbing eyes repeatedly Schedule an appointment with the eye care professionals at any of the 14 convenient VisionFirst offices to make sure your child can SEE their best in the classroom this year.

Her degrees are from New York University and Brooklyn College and her teaching experience started in the Brooklyn Public School system where she was confronted with many challenges forcing her to find effective solutions quickly that addressed academic needs.

MANAGER, LEAD TEACHER, TRAINER KATIE MORGAN has been the manager of The Academy Tutoring and Day Program for almost a decade. She knows every aspect of the business and works with Jenny and Marcus tirelessly to provide quality and effective lessons for your child.

I been unemployed have the impression that they see for almost two years. My her family members frequently. wife has been working My son works two jobs and drives 70-plus miles to work four during that time. We have Dear Abby days a week. The only time they two girls I take care of as a really have together is on Sunstay-at-home dad. Although JEANNE day. I realize my son is very busy, I have consistently but I would like to see them more PHILLIPS searched for work, I haven’t often. Do you have any suggestions about found anything, and it’s driving me crazy. I have edited and re-edited my approaching him about more contact? In the past when I’ve mentioned it he became resume, but nothing has happened.

My question is, do women (and men) think stay-at-home dads are lazy people who leech off their wives? I have to admit negative thoughts have crossed my mind, and I sometimes worry that people — relatives — think I’m a low life or incompetent. Is this true? — STAY-AT-HOME DAD DEAR DAD: I know you are frustrated, but you are being needlessly hard on yourself. While some people still think that way, an increasing number no longer do. The traditional roles of the woman staying home and the man being the breadwinner have, of necessity as well as choice, become increasingly reversed since the beginning of the new millennium. The realities of today are far different than they were 10, 20, 30 years ago. I don’t know if your relatives feel the way you suspect they do, but if you think that’s what’s happening, talk to them and straighten them out. This truism isn’t original, but it applies to much that’s happening in the world today: The only thing that’s constant is change. ••• DEAR ABBY: My son and his wife live 6 miles from me. They have a 4-year-old daughter and a 2-year-old son. The only time I am guaranteed to see my son and his family is on my birthday. The most I have ever seen my grandkids is four or five times a year. Last year, I saw them on my birthday and on my grandson’s birthday. They never initiate any other interactions. I

defensive, as if I were trying to put a guilt trip on him. — HOPING FOR MORE DEAR HOPING: Your mistake may be in waiting for your son and daughter-in-law to do the inviting. You might have better luck if you offered to stop by for a visit, or to watch the grandkids so their mother can have a little time for herself. Clearly, your son is on a tight schedule, and he does need to have time alone with his wife and kids. Granted, you would not be seeing your son, but half a loaf is better than none. ••• DEAR ABBY: My boyfriend cheated on me the whole time I was pregnant last year. He lived in Florida, and I lived in Missouri. He didn’t make it back for our son’s birth like he promised. Now that he’s back, he stays out all night. He won’t get a job to help support our family. He lies in bed all day, gets so drunk he can’t drive and doesn’t help out around the house, either. It’s obvious that I should let him go. I’m 11 years older than he is, and he obviously isn’t ready to grow up, even though he’s 30. I love him, but I’m tired of being treated this way. How can I get over this? — CAN’T LET GO IN KANSAS CITY DEAR CAN’T LET GO: You say you are tired of being treated that way? Congratulations on your burst of clarity. It has finally dawned on you that you have been enabling a lazy, ungrateful, irresponsible freeloader who has no respect for you or his child. This isn’t “love.” You should have realized you would be raising two children

when he didn’t care enough to show up for the birth of the baby. Do what you know you must: Kick him out and move on. ••• DEAR ABBY: Last year was my son’s first year in kindergarten. A child who was allergic to peanuts and soy, among other things, was in his class. Therefore, as a working mom, quick-fix peanut butter sandwiches were out of the question. The school is very cautious. They actually had a separate table in the cafeteria for children with allergies. What started to bother me was the fact that because one child had allergies, treats for the other 20 kids were prohibited — birthday cakes, candies, cookies, anything with eggs, etc. This has continued into Boy Scouts. Again, all the children have to go without because of this one child. What is appropriate? Must all 20 kids accommodate one so he doesn’t feel left out, or does his mom start teaching her child that he has allergies and there are foods he can’t have? They aren’t going to make a college dorm free of peanut butter. Shouldn’t he start to understand that now, or must everyone adapt to his strict diet to make him comfortable? I want to be able to make gingerbread houses during the holiday season and have eggnog with the kids. I understand I should be grateful my child doesn’t suffer from these allergies, but what are the boundaries? — JUST NEED TO KNOW IN CONNECTICUT DEAR JUST: This precaution is not meant to be an inconvenience for you. It is meant to save lives. If you wish to create gingerbread houses and make special treats for your children and their playmates, nothing is stopping you. But they should not be taken to school if there is any chance the classmate with allergies could somehow get ahold of one of them. It’s common for children to trade lunches or share the components with a friend, and one mistake could result in a trip to the hospital or worse. •••
