Louisville holds the bragging rights in a lot of areas, but there is almost nothing we do better than give back to the community around us. This is never more evident than in the weekly pages of The Voice-Tribune where we follow, document and highlight the incredible nonprofit community and the meaningful events they organize to subsidize a need. None of the galas, soirees, cocktails parties or 5Ks could be a success without the participation and contributions of our generous public. I think that is why something like Give for Good Louisville, a giving effort coordinated and hosted by Community Foundation of Louisville is such a massive victory here—our city knows how to respond to a call of action with singular focus and purpose. What was meant to be only a one-time event this week will celebrate its fourth year of helping area nonprofits mobilize and raise much-needed funding. In this week’s feature we were able to chat with some of the smaller nonprofits who have benefited immensely from these 24 hours of giving. Most of them don’t have the staff or infrastructure to plan an event of this magnitude on their own, and their gratitude for the opportunity is apparent. I love the idea of being able to donate to many different worthy causes at one time with ease, even if the monetary contribution is small for each. With the needs in our community so vast, it can be difficult to decide how you should direct your charitable dollars or your volunteer time. Like many, I was so excited about the opportunity to become involved with the nonprofit community when I first moved to Louisville that I joined every planning committee I could find. Hosting breakfast tables, chairing auction committees and volunteering my writing services was a lot of fun and a great way to meet people, but I soon realized that I was getting spread pretty thin and I wasn’t able to live fully up to my commitment to these important organizations. A mentor of mine once advised me by saying, “There is no room for guilt in the world of volunteerism,” meaning, volunteering should be a positive and fulfilling experience, and you should be honest with yourself upfront about what you are and are not able to do, even when your heart is in the right place. I am trying a new approach to philanthropy that requires me to narrow my commitments to only three organizations a year and “give my best yes” to those so I may contribute in a meaningful way. I still make an effort to give to the others when I can. Give for Good Louisville seems like the perfect time to do that!

READY TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE IN OUR COMMUNITY? From midnight to midnight on Thursday, September 14, Give For Good Louisville 2017 lets you donate to your favorite local charities — and discover new ones — at giveforgoodlouisville.org. Hosted by the Community Foundation of Louisville, the event is “a great day to come together as a community and support all nonprofits,” said Nancy Parker, Director of Partner Relations at the Lighthouse Academy at Newburg, an organization that gives young people a safe place to learn through educational, spiritual and economic programs. “There isn’t an easier or faster way to donate than on this one day — and to donate to a variety of organizations all in one place and at one time,” Parker said. “It makes everyone a philanthropist, including my own kids and their friends who are college students and wouldn’t normally be a donor. Basically, giving is in the air and spreads throughout the city. And the minimum $10 gift doesn’t hurt either, [especially] for the younger donors.”

Known for the past three years as Give Local Louisville, the event has raised significantly more money every time it’s been held. Last year, about 600 organizations raised $4.3 million in 24 hours. This year, there are several enhancements to Give For Good Louisville beyond just a name change, including new behind-thescenes technology that offers many benefits to both nonprofits and donors. But one thing hasn’t changed: It’s one of the best opportunities I think Louisville pauses on for our Compassionate City to demonstrate this day and thinks about all citywide compassion. It’s a day for not only supporting the ways these nonprofits charities but also “recognizing the important work that people do as help enrich our community.” volunteers and staff to help nonprofit — Cara Baribeau organizations fulfill their missions,” said Community Foundation of Cara Baribeau, the Community FounLouisville’s Vice President of dation of Louisville’s Vice President of Marketing and Communications Marketing and Communications. “I think Louisville pauses on this day and thinks about all the ways these nonprofits help enrich our community.”

A UNIQUE OPPORTUNITY FOR LOCAL ORGANIZATIONS

In 2016, about 600 organizations raised $4.3 million in 24 hours.

“Give For Good Louisville allows a very small nonprofit such as ours a unique opportunity to raise needed donations alongside much larger nonprofits,” said Belinda Jacobi, President of the Moving Forward Limb Loss Support Group, which has been involved with Louisville’s day of online giving since 2015. Jacobi pointed out that the Community Foundation of Louisville provides “advertisement, training, promotional tools and the means for collecting these donations. A small organization such as ours would never have the capability to raise funds this way on our own. Give For Good Louisville allows us to receive more donations in a 24-hour period than we would be able to raise all year. Without the pressure of the need for constant fundraising, we can dedicate more time to our mission, which is to reach out to those with limb loss in our community, providing them with emotional support, information and the resources they need.” “Another benefit,” she added, “is the opportunities Give For Good Louisville gives us to connect with other nonprofits. Many times we find that we can work together on projects to better serve our community.” Baribeau said the Community Foundation of Louisville decided to host the first day of online giving in 2014 when the 30th anniversary of the organization coincided with the 100th anniversary of the formation of community foundations nationally. “We thought we would do it as a one-time thing as a way to celebrate community foundations,” she said, “but in that first year, 180 organizations participated and we raised $1.9 million. So we were like, ‘Huh — there must be something to this.’” The first Give Local Louisville was a success despite being held during the first week of May, which was a good week for the rest of the country but, of course, not an ideal time to hold the event in Derby-obsessed Louisville. So the second Give Local Louisville was held October 1, 2015. About 300 hundred organizations participated and raised $3 million, which proved the event was something that “our community and our community’s compassionate spirit really rallies behind,” Baribeau said. “I think people look at it as a way to show their love, to say thank you to the nonprofits that do so much for our community.” You can show your love to more than 500 organizations this year, and, of course, the foundation hopes to raise more money than ever, but Baribeau said they don’t set a specific fundraising target. “We always want to do better than the year before,” she said, “beyond that we don’t 0 9 . 1 4 . 2 0 1 7 V O I C E -T R I B U N E . C O M

F E AT U R E

really set a goal, we just like to challenge the community to dig deep, be generous and recognize the work of the nonprofits.” She explained that the foundation changed the name of the event this year because “we spent some time thinking about why the first three years were so successful — what was behind it — and we realized it’s really the spirit of people wanting to be a part of this force for good. Whether you’re giving ten dollars, a hundred dollars or ten thousand dollars, anybody can be that force, so that’s the spirit behind the name Give For Good Louisville.”

MAKING A SIGNIFICANT DIFFERENCE Jacobi said the Moving Forward Limb Loss Support Group used the money it received last year to provide 15 scholarships for amputees to attend the 2017 Amputee Coalition National Conference that was held in Louisville recently. “While there, they received gait and mobility training, attended informational sessions, met other amputees from around the world and danced the night away at the Grand Gala,” Jacobi said. The Lighthouse Academy at Newburg used last year’s donations to fund Out of School Time Programs for kindergarten through eighth grade students, according to Parker. This year the organization “has the opportunity from funders who like to participate with us as matches for the one day of giving. We have two matches, both of them from anonymous donors — one for $10,000 [from someone] who has supported Lighthouse each year of participation, and a new match this year for $5,000. These are side-by-side matches, so for every $1 donated, we will raise $3. Clearly, this day means the opportunity to raise at least $30,000 for our center — in one day! How crazy is that?” In one day last year, Twisted Pink, an organization that that funds metastatic breast cancer research, raised more than $11,500. This year, they hope to raise $50,000. “We hope we can hire our first paid staff this year, allowing us to grow our fundraising efforts and increase the amount of funding to research,” said Twisted Pink founder Caroline Johnson. “One hundred percent of our net profits are directed to metastatic breast cancer research locally, and this year we funded our first National Research Grant.” Johnson added that Give For Good Louisville “helps us showcase our mission and tell the stories of stage IV breast cancer patients. These are the stories that are often forgotten because everyone wants to see a survivor. The reality is that breast cancer takes 40,000 vibrant lives each year in the U.S. 155,000 people live with metastatic breast cancer and the median survival rate for a stage IV patient 0 9 . 1 4 . 2 0 1 7 V O I C E -T R I B U N E .

Give For Good Louisville allows us to receive more donations in a 24-hour period than we would be able to raise all year.” — Belinda Jacobi President, Moving Forward Limb Loss Support Group

This year, Anchal hopes to use funding from Give for Give Louisville to purchase supplies and sponsor part-time employment for women participating in their dyeScape program, a network of small gardens that support the cultivation of dye plants for natural textile production.

This year we hope to double the funds raised in order to purchase supplies for and sponsor the part-time employment of women participating in our dyeScape program in Louisville.” — Natalie Hugon Marketing and PublicRelations Director of Anchal

is two to three years. It is estimated that 10 percent of research funding is directed to metastatic breast cancer, and this is not enough.” Another local nonprofit, Anchal Project, which fights the exploitation of women worldwide by creating employment op-portunities, services and products that support empowerment, used the funds it raised last year to sponsor an artisan in the organization’s holistic program for three months. “This year we hope to double the funds raised in order to purchase supplies for and sponsor the part-time employment of women participating in our dyeScape program in Louisville,” said Natalie Hugon, Anchal’s Marketing and Public Relations Director. DyeScape is a network of small gardens supporting the cultivation of dye plants for natural textile production. “There is something special about knowing that your donation is making visible and significant difference in your community,” Hugon said. “We feel very fortunate to live in such a compassionate city as Louisville and be able to participate in this incredible day of giving. Not only does Give For Good Louisville help raise awareness of important issues and organizations in our city, but it helps build long-term support from local people and businesses that want to impact social change.”

WHAT’S NEW THIS YEAR? All participating nonprofits will get a boost this year from a new technology platform called GiveGab. “We needed to build for the future of this program,” Baribeau said. “With the volume of nonprofits and the volume of donations, we really wanted to have a best-in-class platform to support our community’s generosity. With GiveGab there are lots of new features and benefits we’re able to offer to nonprofits and donors alike, including peer-to-peer fundraising. If you are an avid supporter of a particular organization on the giving day, you can run your own little campaign and say, ‘I’m trying to raise a certain amount of money for this particular organization.’ There are tools and functionality that let you publish on your own social media, and people who donate through you will help you reach your goal. “We also have a new feature for organizations that secure their own match dollars. The organizations have the ability to promote those matches on the page and give recognition to generous donors who make the match possible. There are several other enhancements too, including really quick turnaround for online donations so they’re sent right to the bank accounts of participating nonprofits, and the overall user experience is just better this year.” 0 9 . 1 4 . 2 0 1 7 V O I C E -T R I B U N E .

Baribeau noted that Give For Good Louisville is an all-hands-on-deck event for the Community Foundation. “We work for months to prepare to host this giving day,” she said. “We have a war room set up, and we’ve got staff working on social media throughout the day, both here on location and out and around the community. There are more than 20 different events that nonprofits are hosting in the community, and we’ve got a nonprofit rally at Fourth Street Live from 11:30 to 1:00, where we have more than 200 organizations with tables as well as on-stage performances from the performance-oriented nonprofits — so it really is a day full of energy and excitement.” The foundation also helps energize the event by using a Bonus and Prize Pool to provide extra awards to the nonprofits throughout the day. “This year we have a Bonus and Prize Pool of more than $290,000 worth of cash prizes that they can strive for,” Baribeau said. “Some of the awards are based on reaching certain numbers of donors, and we also have 30 Golden Tickets courtesy of Delta Dental, which means that once an hour for 24 hours — and then six additional times during the nonprofit rally — random donations will be selected to get a $1,000 boost, so somebody could make a $10 donation that all of a sudden becomes $1,010. “This year we also are able to double the amount of strategic prizes we award. They’re based on defined criteria for certain challenges throughout the day, whether it’s a donation above a certain amount or having the most donors during a particular period. We have ten different criteria for the nonprofits, and they have fun strategizing. Maybe they’ll plan something like, ‘We’re going to have all of our donors give between two and four in the morning to try to win a particular prize.’ We also offer grand prizes for first through fifth places for Most Dollars Raised and Most Unique Donations, and we do those for small, medium and large nonprofits so the little guys aren’t competing against the big guys.” Parker at the Lighthouse Academy said the prizes add to the excitement “as funding grows higher and higher. We are blessed by all the publicity the Community Foundation of Louisville is able to generate for this day and also blessed by the sponsors. I can’t explain the level of amazement as I look at the donor Excel sheet and watch the gifts come in as the day progresses.” You can follow the progress by following the Community Foundation of Louisville on social media (@cflouisville on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and Snapchat), and you can check out the leaderboard at giveforgoodlouisville.org.

Through their Making Smiles Happen campaign, Delta Dental sponsors 30 Golden Tickets, which means that random donations will be selected to get a $1,000 boost.

I can’t explain the level of amazement as I look at the donor Excel sheet and watch the gifts come in as the day progresses.” — Nancy Parker Director of Partner Relations at the Lighthouse Academy

The Lighthouse Academy at Newburg is an organization that gives young people a safe place to learn through educational, spiritual and economic programs.

Signature Chefs

Chef Harold Baker with Gary’s on Spring.

ots of Louisvillians look forward to this annual fundraiser for the March of Dimes because it features over 20 amazing local restaurants. This year’s event co-chairs, Lee Guillaume and André Wilson, offered us their insight on this incredible event and the impact it has on the community.

What is the Signature Chefs Auction? Signature Chefs Auction is an annual gala benefitting the March of Dimes. Guests attend this culinary extravaganza in support of an invaluable cause – to give every baby a fighting chance against prematurity, birth defects and infant mortality. Funds raised at the Signature Chefs Auction help support prenatal wellness programs, research grants, neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) family support programs and advocacy efforts for moms and babies. This event is held across the country, but we are proud to say that the Greater Louisville Signature Chefs Auction is consistently ranked in the top 20!

What can guests expect at the event?

SIGNATURE CHEFS AUCTION Louisville Marriott Downtown Thursday, November 2 Tickets: Contact Erika Rohrer, erohrer@marchofdimes.org signaturechefs.org/louisville

The event brings together an audience of more than 600 business industry leaders, community philanthropists and many socially responsible corporations and hospitals in the community. We begin the evening with a cocktail reception and a silent auction, followed by a dinner of tastings from over 30 of Louisville’s top local chefs. A live auction includes one-of-a-kind dining packages, unique experiences and fine wine and bourbons, so get ready to raise your paddle! The highlight of the evening surrounds our guests and their generous hearts as we give the room an opportunity to support the work and research of the March of Dimes.

Why is this auction important for March of Dimes and the community at large? Locally, the funds raised at Signature Chefs Auction support grants to educate physicians and hospitals on best prenatal practices. The March of Dimes also has a strong focus on comforting parents while in the NICU and educating expectant mothers on preventable measures such as taking folic acid, avoiding smoking and waiting at least 39 weeks before choosing an elective delivery. On a much larger level, they invested nearly $20 million in 2016 in research to understand, treat and prevent serious health problems that threaten infants.

Why is March of Dimes such an important institution in our community? Every year in Kentucky, 6,024 babies are born preterm (1 in 9) and premature birth remains the leading cause of infant mortality. We want fewer babies and families to spend weeks and months in the NICU, and the funds raised at this event go toward eliminating this huge problem. The March of Dimes touches every baby in our community, whether they are born healthy, prematurely, with a birth defect or other health complication.

Are tickets still available? This event is a little different as we typically don’t sell individual tickets, but we can if someone inquires. Tables of 10 are still available and we have many unique opportunities for companies to sponsor which include marketing benefits and night-of exposure. With Signature Chefs Auction being less than 2 months away, it’s important to contact the March of Dimes soon if you are interested in attending and/or sponsoring. VT

Dantzler Building a New Culture at Central By Randy Whetstone Jr. Photo by Cory Young

entral has started the 2017 football season in traditional winning fashion. The only thing new is their coach. Coach Marvin Dantzler is the new sheriff in town and so far, he’s had a great start as the Yellowjackets’ coach, leading Central to victories in their first three games of the season. It’s always intriguing to see how kids respond to a new coach – especially seniors – after they have been emotionally invested in previous coaches. Central’s upperclassmen came up short last season in the Class 3-A championship game to Belfry, but perhaps their greatest challenge will be adjusting to a new coach after playing under Ty Scroggins who coached Central the last decade. reaching seven state championships during that span. But that’s what makes coaching so special: having the innate ability to take any group of players, get them to buy in and then lead them to their destiny. Time will tell if he’ll be able to get his team through the season and playoffs, all the way to hoisting a state title come December. History is on his side. Dantzler has shown an ability to lead kids down a successful road. Before coming to Kentucky, he coached in Louisiana at Patterson High School. Prior to that, he led Booker T. Washington in Tulsa, Oklahoma to the playoffs in four straight seasons and posted a 33-12 record. 0 9 . 1 4 . 2 0 1 7 V O I C E -T R I B U N E . C O M

I had the chance to speak with Dantzler to see how his experience has been at Central up to this point. So far, he’s handled the adjustment quite well.

Describe your transition to Central. The transition to Central has been very smooth, great administration, students and community support. I am very impressed with the people of Central. It’s a good place to work.

What excites you the most about this program? I am excited about the possibility of where we can be in two to three years as a program, the winning tradition that has been established before I got here and now with my staff, we want to continue to build on it.

Describe any obstacles you’ve endured in this first year. “There are always obstacles whenever there’s change, but for the most part the transition has been smooth. The hardest thing for me honestly was probably finding a school for my son.

What is your coaching philosophy and how do you go about implementing that on a daily basis? I am still old school in my approach that you have to be able to run the ball and stop the run to win anything important. With

that said, when we have good athletes in space on offense like some of the guys we have this year it is important to find ways to get those guys the ball. I believe in having an identity and hopefully we can execute what we do at a higher level than the opponent.

What culture are you seeking to establish? I want a culture of accountability and high expectations. We don’t just want to win on the field, but we want to be winners in life. The way you do one thing should be the way you do everything.

How will you continue the success that this program has had in the last decade? I think my approach is to not get caught up in the past decade but embrace the history and do things that I believe in. I am a competitor and a winner and I expect to win. So, if I just keep that approach I think the end results will be okay.

What do you envision in the future of Central football? My vision is to be at Central for years to come, first of all, and to build a football program that is a premier 3A program into a premier national program. That vision will be to not only change the culture on the field, but change the culture in the classroom as well. I have always stood behind high academics and the student-athlete approach.” VT 17

An Artistic Remembrance By Mariah Kline

THE AIDS QUILT AT ACTORS THEATRE Now through November 2 aidsquilt.org

ctors Theatre recently launched their 2017-18 season with the opening of “Angels in America,” the epic, twopart play that takes place during the onset of the AIDS epidemic. To further the show’s impactful message, Actors is showing two panels from the world-renowned AIDS Quilt. The 12 by 12 feet display is now hanging in the theater’s lobby and free for the public to view. The creation of the AIDS Quilt started in 1985, and it was shown publicly for the first time in 1987. The inspiration for the Quilt came from a group of San Francisco activists who wrote the names of people they knew who died of AIDS on placards. Once these placards were placed side by side on a wall, activist Cleve Jones noticed that the display resembled that of a patchwork quilt and the idea stuck. The creation of the Quilt and the NAMES Project Foundation, who is responsible for its care, followed shortly thereafter. Each panel of the Quilt measures three feet wide and six feet long, roughly the same size as a grave. Friends, family members and significant others have created the panels to remember their lost loved ones and ensure that history remembers them as well. While there was a great deal of backlash over its

unveiling in the 1980s, the Quilt called the public’s attention to HIV and AIDS and made many realize what a devastating impact these diseases were having on the nation. Over the years, the Quilt has been added onto and become far larger than anyone could have ever imagined. The piece in its entirety is now made up of more than 48,000 panels, weighs 54 tons and stretches over 50 miles long. Due to its massive size, Actors Theatre is currently hosting just two panels. The idea to host it there began in a production meeting for “Angels in America.” Artistic Director Meredith McDonough, who is also directing the play, mentioned that she viewed the quilt in Chicago and was very intrigued by it. The informal idea became a reality once Laura Humble, the theater’s marketing and communications director, contacted the NAMES Project and requested to host the Quilt. When the theater initially applied, Humble says they had no preference about which panels the NAMES Project sent and they would be happy with whatever pieces they were given. However, once they learned Actors was presenting “Angels in America,” the Project sent the panel that includes the name of Roy Cohn, the controversial attorney who died of AIDS and has a fictionalized 0 9 . 1 4 . 2 0 1 7 V O I C E -T R I B U N E .

role in “Angels.” The other panel on display includes the names of six Kentuckians, including father and daughter Keith Gordon and Courtney Gordon. Today, the AIDS Quilt has become the largest community art project in history. Seeing this poignant and unique piece of art in person is a profoundly emotional experience that everyone should experience firsthand. “If you take the time to read each name and read about the Quilt as a whole, it’s a very moving thing,” says Humble. “Everyone should come see it, especially because it has such an important connection to both our state and our community.” VT

The Designer Experience Fashion Show By Nancy Miller

ou may have been to fashion shows before but you’ve never been to one like this. Barry Wooley Designs and Louisville Bespoke will be turning style upside down, inside out and over the top. The Designer Experience Fashion Show will feature Louisville’s trend-setting fashion designers and their latest creations. Fashions will be curated by Louisville Bespoke, a community atelier for emerging and established Louisville fashion designers. “At the show, we will bring together designers to highlight the incredible talent we have in this city,” says Yamilka Rodriguez, founder of Louisville Bespoke. “Several local designers have garnered national attention while others are beginning to have a presence in the world of fashion. Louisville Bespoke is an incubator for them to share ideas, resources and a support system. The Designer Experience Fashion Show will be a one of a kind night at which guests can see their work and meet the designers.” An experiential fashion environment will

also showcase interior design that’s making headline news. Wooley’s homescape of interior design will spark guests’ imagination for turning a home into a haven of personality and pizazz. “Fashion and interior design go hand in hand. Very often interior design reflects what’s happening on the runways of New York, Paris and Milan. The show will marry fashion and interior design at one of fall’s most exciting events,” Wooley says. Throughout the store you’ll see what’s trending for the home in color, furniture, area rugs, lighting and accessories. You might even be able to pick up some design tips from Wooley, an interior designer who’s a frequent guest on television talk shows and who’s extensively covered in print media. The event will benefit The Anchal Project, a Louisville organization that supports women artisans in the developing world. Fashion designers to be featured are Ian Schuler of SLW Atelier; Lisa Kahl-Hillerich of RoxyNell; Christine Robey of Barenaked Leather; Sarah Havens of Sarah Havens Millinery; Steve and Melissa Steurer of Steurer

Chef Anoosh Shariat Shares a Few Secrets for Cooking with Bourbon By Nancy Miller Photos by Jolea Brown

LIFE

noosh Shariat had never cooked with bourbon before he moved from Texas to Louisville in 1988. He was a quick learner, immediately embracing Kentucky’s bourbon culture and creating dishes in which the spirit enlivens other ingredients and imparts a distinctive character. He doesn’t shy away from using bourbon in his cooking all year at his restaurants, Anoosh Bistro, characterized by its Mediterranean and Southern-influenced menu, and the New American Noosh Nosh. He especially likes to recognize the spirit in September, Bourbon Heritage Month. “I had always cooked with brandy, but once in Kentucky, I discovered that, although bourbon is a little bolder, it is a wonderful substitute for brandy. When you use bourbon the right way, it’s an easy transition,” he says. One of the first dishes in which he used bourbon was his Bibb salad with bourbon vinaigrette. The salad, with Kentucky Bibb, Capriole goat cheese, apples and black walnuts, will soon be making a reappearance on the Anoosh Bistro menu.

0 9 . 1 4 . 2 0 1 7 V O I C E -T R I B U N E . C O M

That “right way” to use bourbon shines through in Noosh Nosh’s baked Brie with bourbon maple syrup and red wine pear jam and French toast with Pappy Van Winkle syrup. At Anoosh Bistro, bourbon plays a key role in a few dishes— the bourbon-smoked prime rib and the white chocolate bread pudding. Throughout September, Anoosh Bistro will run specials of dishes prepared with bourbon. You might want to accompany one of those with a bourbon craft cocktail. If you have trouble deciding which one, try the Kentucky Buck, which has bourbon, strawberries, ginger syrup and mint. Bourbon profiles run the gamut of tastes and aromas, which invites pairing with many foods. “Bourbons that have a maple sugar flavor are delicious in Bananas Foster. Early on, I switched out bourbon for the brandy and some of the rum. I used the high alcohol content rum just for flaming. The bourbon with the sugar and banana made great caramel,” says Shariat. When you’re cooking with bourbon, can you get by with using the cheap stuff? Not if the chef is looking over your shoulder. He reaches for bourbon that has been

aged four or more years. Follow his lead and you’ll have a dish full of flavor and you will have poured less bourbon. As long as you cook with a quality bourbon, the brand is up to you. When cooking, use the same bourbon you drink (as long as it’s not Pappy!). The base of Old Forester, Maker’s Mark and Heaven Hill are three of his favorites. You don’t need to use a lot of it to enrich a dish. If you’re making a sauce, use bourbon at the beginning, then add a few drops to wake up the flavors since the alcohol will have cooked off. Here’s an idea to jump start your foray into cooking with bourbon: butternut squash ravioli with pecan butter finished with bourbon. He guarantees the nuttiness and the sweet will match well with the smokiness of bourbon. Another vegetarian dish that’s accentuated with bourbon is Shariat’s mushroom stew. And if you want quick and easy, brush a little bourbon soy sauce on tofu. Julia Child was fond of taking a few sips of wine in between chopping and sautéing. You might find you can get head over heels into cooking with bourbon if you allow yourself the occasional sip. Not that Shariat does. “I don’t participate in sipping while I cook because I would forget what I’ve done,” he laughs. VT 23

Your Last Chance ‘Circle of Animals/ Zodiac Heads’ Prepares to Leave Louisville By Remy Sisk

f you’ve driven past the Speed Art Museum in the last year, you have likely seen the striking – and when illuminated at night, somewhat haunting – bronze animal heads along the museum’s exterior. What you may not know, however, is that those animal heads are in fact a masterful and renowned public sculpture called “Circle of Animals/Zodiac Heads” created by Chinese contemporary artist Ai Weiwei. The Weiwei is indeed one of installation arrived China’s most renowned in the Elizabeth Frederick and controversial artists. P.K.and Cressman Art Park at the Speed last October and will leave Louisville next month on October 15. If you have not yet been to the museum to take a closer look, now is your chance. “Circle of Animals/Zodiac Heads” is made up of 12 bronze animal heads that measure over 10-feet-tall each, and each animal is derived from the Chinese astrological calendar. The piece as a whole is evocative of China’s complex past of cultural exchange, war, looting and commerce, according to Speed Art Museum Curator of Contemporary Art Miranda Lash. “It marries so many different cultural influences,” Lash says. “The original inspiration for the heads was a water clock fountain designed in the 17th century by European Jesuits for the Qianlong Emperor for his Old Summer Palace. These sculptures were looted in 1860 by French and British soldiers during the sacking of the Palace. The Chinese government has endeavored to repatriate all the heads as a matter of nationalist pride, though the whereabouts of five of the heads remains unknown.” In bringing Weiwei’s piece to Louisville, which was made possible by former CEO Ghislain d’Humières negotiating with a private collector, Lash emphasizes that they did not only know the sheer size would be striking to the public but also that it would be a wonderful 24

entrée into the work of Ai Weiwei: “The Speed was inspired by the scale, ambition and beauty of the sculptures. We thought it would be a great way to introduce Louisville to the work of Ai Weiwei and to encourage visitors to interact with our Art Park.” Though perhaps not as familiar a name to some in the U.S., Weiwei is indeed one of China’s most renowned and controversial artists. As Lash describes, he, “is one of the most well known artists in the world to be associated with activism and dissidence. I think of him as a figure who was pivotal to bringing recognition to the contemporary art scene of Beijing, and as an artist who has been unafraid to challenge China’s Communist Party.” The fact that this artist’s work has been brought to Louisville is certainly exciting, and the last year has seen visitors flock to the installation, often taking photos with the animal associated with their birth year. However, the greater significance of the piece and the ease with which viewers may engage with it is something Lash is quite proud of. “It is great that Louisville is participating in an international discourse,” she says. “‘Circle of Animals/Zodiac Heads’ presents the complicated issues of tradition, belief and nationalism in a way that is engaging and approachable.” For those interested in learning more about these striking sculptures, there will be a lecture at the Speed on Sunday, September 17 at 3 p.m. by the University of Kentucky’s Professor Jeffrey Johnson, a specialist on Chinese art and architecture. Johnson will speak on Weiwei’s impact as an activist, artist and architect, and will specifically share some of Weiwei’s thoughts on the future of the museum in China. Regardless of if you’re interested in understanding more about the context of “Circle of Animals/Zodiac Heads,” there’s no downside to seeing it for yourself. As the installation’s days in Louisville are numbered, this may be your last chance to see one of contemporary art’s most astounding pieces of this kind.

Richard Prioleau and Mark Junek in “Angels in America, Part One, Millennium Approaches.”

ising from our seats and making our way out of the theater, my sister asked me if the script for Actors Theatre’s production of “Angels in America, Part One: Millennium Approaches” had been updated. “No,” I told her. The play simply holds up—both a sign of Tony Kushner’s exceptionalism as a playwright and our troubling times. Part One premiered in 1991 and Part Two followed a few years later. I first encountered the play more than a decade later in my early twenties as an undergrad at the University of Louisville. We watched the HBO special in one of my Humanities classes as a look at the AIDS epidemic. It left a mark on me. “Angels in America” is a play that asks the hard questions, reveals the hard truths, but also shows us that there are answers to be found in all of us. Another decade and a handful of years has passed and “Angels in America” has moved me yet again. Actors Theatre Artistic Director, Les Waters, took the mic after the champagne toast on opening night and spoke about this play and its importance to his life experience in a way I’ve never seen him speak about any other play. Associate Artistic Director Meredith McDonough has said this play saved her life and every member of the cast has a deep connection to the play and their roles. Unlike the HBO special, you will laugh out loud throughout the entire play, which may come as a surprise to audiences given the subject matter. The first part of Kushner’s two-part masterpiece takes place in 1985 in New York City. Audiences will follow the parallel and sometimes overlapping lives of Prior Walter (Mark Junek) who’s just revealed to his partner Louis Ironson (Richard Gallagher) that he has AIDS. Louis, who is Jewish, meets Joe Pitt (Brian Slaten) at work. Joe is Mormon and having marital problems with his wife Harper (Therese Barbato); 0 9 . 1 4 . 2 0 1 7 V O I C E -T R I B U N E . C O M

“Angels in America” More Timely Than Ever

S E R I ES

By Minda Honey Photo by Bill Brymer

the two seem to disagree about what is at the root of those problems...the fact that they refer to each other as “buddy” is definitely a clue. Harper is given to escapism fantasies with Mr. Lies (Richard Prioleau), who also doubles as Belize, close friend to Prior. Joe is offered a position in Washington, D.C. by the infamous lawyer Roy Cohn (Lou Liberatore), who served as a real-life mentor to a young Donald Trump. In typical Cohn fashion, the position comes with several strings attached. Cohn is also diagnosed with AIDS. As the first part nears its close, we meet Joe’s mother, Hannah Pitt (Barbara Walsh), who travels from Salt Lake City, Utah to be with her son in New York City. Rami Margron shows her range appearing in several different roles including Prior’s nurse, Hannah’s Salt Lake City realtor friend and smoke buddy, a homeless person warming their hands over a barrel fire and ascends to celestial heights by the end of the play. That may seem like a lot of people to keep straight, but I did mention that Kushner is a master of his craft, right? You’ll have no problem at all keeping the characters straight thanks to the strength of Kushner’s writing and the dedication and artistry of the cast who credits their all-star acting to McDonough’s ability to make the rehearsal room feel like a safe space. The work of William Boles, scenic designer, aided by lighting design by Isabella Byrd and Paul Toben also shines. There are beds gliding forward and retreating into recesses, park benches rising from beneath the stage, partitions sliding together and apart. Shifting lighting made it possible for dueling scenes to unfurl at the same time. And I must share my appreciation for the color palette of Alison Siple, costume designer; rich cranberries and reds and soft grays and deep navy. “Part One: Millennium Approaches” will run through October 10 and “Part Two: Perestroika” opens September 19 and closes October 14.

HOMES

Accessories of All Kinds By Nancy Miller

If walls are neutral, accessories are an easy fix for introducing color.

hat’s the deal with accessories? They deliver a whopper of sizzling style or they turn your house into a disaster zone that screams, “What went wrong here?” An overload of them diminishes the impact of each one. They are meant to enhance, not stifle a space. “There’s no doubt people overdo and clutter. I have gone into houses and thought, ‘There’s way too much going on. We have to get rid of half of this stuff.’ There’s a big difference between accessorizing and clutter,” says Lisa Knight, owner of Lisa Lynn Designs. Accessorizing reminds her of jazzing up a dress with jewelry. She believes selecting colors and fabrics, and placing furniture in a room is much the same as choosing a dress, applying makeup and fixing one’s hair. The finishing touches are missing.

Some of the accessories in this room look old, but really they are reproductions. Knight mixes sizes for the rustic room that has a modern twist.

She uses window treatments, decorative pillows, floral arrangements, art and lamps to imbue a room with many levels of sensation. Don’t underestimate lighting itself as an accessory, particularly when it reflects a mirror or candle. If walls are neutral, accessories are an easy fix for introducing color. “In a house that has an open floor plan, such as when the family room, dining area and kitchen flow into each other, I like to pull in and intermingle accessory colors from the rooms around that expansive, open space. That’s easy to do using artwork, a vase, rug, pillow or even a floral arrangement,” she says. The designer divides accessories into two categories: functional and nonfunctional. They’re equally important and you need some of both. Clocks and lamps are functional, but so is a throw blanket you want to snuggle under. Flowers and art? They’re theoretically nonfunctional unless making you happy is considered a function. That’s one of the tenets of good design, after all. Knowing a large wall needs to be accessorized is vastly different from knowing how to do it. “People are afraid of big walls. While the instinct may be to go for something big on the wall, first consider the design of the home. If it’s contemporary, one large, simplistic piece may be right, but a grouping might be better for a traditional setting,” suggests Knight. When hanging a painting or other accent piece, be sure its width doesn’t extend beyond the width of the sofa, mantel or table it hangs above. How high to hang it? Knight has an easy answer: six inches above whatever is placed under it. If the ceiling is very high, bump the art up nine inches. When grouping, you’ll need to decide if you want everything the same scale and size, all fairly symmetrical, or want a cluster of multiple items like a sconce, a clock, a couple of pictures or a wooden shelf. Each piece doesn’t have to be of the same medium, such as wood or metal. The same is true for picture frames on bookshelves or flat surfaces. Vary rustic with

glamour, wood with shiny. If you like a simple look, you may want to stay with bronze and silver tone frames, but if your goal is added interest and depth, bring in other finishes. Clusters of three, but in different sizes, is most appealing to the eye. When Knight accessorizes she takes into consideration the personalities and interests of her clients. A figurine of a dog is perfect for a canine lover. For someone who enjoys communing with nature, a painting of trees and pathways would be a natural fit, both literally and figuratively. Having a plan for accessorizing instead of hanging and placing haphazardly will yield a better result. That doesn’t mean you have to stick to the plan 100 percent. “I always start with a plan but in 16 and a half years I have never put everything exactly where I planned. Once you begin working in a space, you change your mind and look at it all in a different way. You may decide you want something higher or lower or on the coffee table rather than the bookcase. If you keep yourself regimented you’re cutting off the possibility for something greater to happen. I know that sometimes bugs or throws clients off, but I tell them to wait until I finish and I promise they will like my revised plan,” she says. What if you take her advice and have a plan that seems to be working until you’re

0 9 . 1 4 . 2 0 1 7 V O I C E -T R I B U N E . C O M

casually browsing through a store and find something that you love, love, love? Do you grit your teeth and walk away because it wasn’t in your master plan? No! Buy it. Take it home and work it into the plan. Don’t take it out of the box or bag and hope for the best. That’s how your house will become one of those “What happened here?” homes and you’ll have yet another contribution to the neighborhood yard sale. Thanksgiving and Christmas aren’t the only times of the year that call for accessory changes. Spring and summer speak to brighter and lighter but turning leaves and crisp air call for warmer and richer colors. As fall arrives, remove a bright yellow vase from the counter and replace it with one that is deep green or warm gold. Switch the tulips to sunflowers, and voila— you have seasonally appropriate accessories for the kitchen. Accessorizing isn’t confined to objects. Wallpapering the back wall of a bookcase is accessorizing for texture. Even a ceiling becomes an accessory when painted a color other than the walls.

There’s a big difference between accessorizing and clutter for introducing color. — Lisa Knight

LIFE

The focal point in this Homearama house’s study is a functional bookcase that sits below large art.

“There’s nothing more fun than walking into a home and seeing something unexpected or eclectic. Accessories are a great way to add those edges. But, funky or eclectic shouldn’t be in one room only. Show that innovative style in multiple areas for it to come across as interesting and making sense,” says Knight.

She’s currently designing a house for two clients who have very different tastes – traditional versus contemporary. “It has been a blast mixing their styles to design what is an eclectic home. What is cool is that we’re mixing the styles throughout the entire house, not just in one room.” VT

Instead of typical built-in bookcases, Knight used furniture pieces accented with tape lighting around the glass. A bottom drawer stores electronics. 30

Birthdays and Bids By Carla Sue Broecker

BOOTS AND MORE Jessica and Neville Blakemore hosted the annual Boots, Badges and Bids get-together to raise funds for the Louisville Metro Police Foundation on the grounds of their beautiful home in the shadow of the Louisville Country Club. In attendance was Louisville Police Chief Steve Conrad, his boss the honorable Greg Fischer, Jim Ellis and Tracie Texas Shugart representing the Foundation, event emcee Jennifer Baileys and at least 500 of their closest friends, all of whom had a wonderful time. The event was catered by Texas Roadhouse with all sorts of Roadhouse goodies. Once quite a few drinks were consumed the auction began, and it was wildly successful. The highest bid was for a replica of an 1850s Samuel Hawken rifle made and donated by master craftsman Michael Whitehouse, who is nationally known for his work. The bid was $50,000. Steve Bass’ donation of some Pappy Van Winkle to the auction also caused lots of bidding excitement.

SURPRISE! SURPRISE! Carol Osborne loves to work with her friend Peggy Karem English at her ladies’ consignment shop Bloomin’ Deals in the Rudy Lane shopping center. They have known each other since

high school, and that was a long time ago. Peggy and some of her other friends realized that this year Carol was going to have a special birthday that ends in 0 and starts with something other than 1 or 7. A “bring a dish” surprise party was organized and celebrated at the shop. At least 20 people showed up with everything from deviled eggs to extravagant cupcakes. Did Peggy close the shop for the party? Heck no. Customers wandered in and out amongst the food and clothes and helped themselves to both. Carol loved it. A week later it was time for Steve Bass to surprise his wife Terri on her birthday with a luncheon for 40 plus ladies at Mesh. It was a lot of fun. Three generations of “the girls,” including her mother, Millie Hayes, and mother-in-law, Gladys, showed up to celebrate. In attendance was her daughter Anna and Cara Bass-Wilson, Carol Lomicka, Susan and Cathy Yarmuth, Nancy Laird, Pat Gabriele, Sarah Steinbock, Shelly Zegart and Helen Overfield, Sue Grafton, Viki Diaz, Madeline Abramson, Kathy Oyler, Karen Salo, Jenny Garst, Helen Cohen, Heather Bass and Debra Nicholson.

Boys & Girls Haven IMAGINE... You are 14 years old and a sheriff arrives at your house with a social worker. They quickly explain that you are going to be living with a new family for the time being. Armed with a black trash bag, you have five minutes to collect your belongings. This is the scenario many young people face when entering the foster care system. Boys & Girls Haven exists to help these vulnerable kids create a new story. We seek to replace their tattered bags with confidence and hope and to provide a home and a future on their healing journey. Since welcoming the first young people on our campus in 1950, the mission of Boys & Girls Haven has never changed: we are here to serve kids who have nowhere else to turn. On average, our residents have experienced 12 - 16 placements before they come to us and they are often 2 - 3 years behind in school. Most have also experienced extreme abuse and neglect and, as a result, face behavioral and social challenges. As a result, we have five core services to meet the unique needs of our kids: • In-Home Foster Care – A supportive network of foster homes offering kids, from birth to age 21, the love and stability of a family. • Residential Foster Care – Home-style cottage housing for both girls and boys, age 11 – 18, who are in need of more intensive stabilization services. • Pre-Independent Living – Staffed and 0 9 . 1 4 . 2 0 1 7 V O I C E -T R I B U N E . C O M

supervised dorm-style living provides young adults, aged 17 – 21, with the accountability and support needed to successfully transition into independence. • Independent Living – Scattered-site apartments allow young adults, aged 17 – 21, the freedom to learn and the support to succeed in the pursuit of education and a career path. • Haven Family Service – Preventative, community-based therapy, case management, and medication management designed to keep at-risk families together. Individual and group therapy available. Due in part to the opioid crisis escalating across our region, the number of kids in foster care is projected to climb from 8,500 in 2017 to more than 10,000 in 2019. Boys & Girls Haven relies on our community to help us meet the ever-increasing need. Here are a few ways you can help: •

therapeutic foster parents, and matches them with children in need of nurturing, supportive homes. If you would like more information, or to meet with one of our staff, please call 502-458-1171 or e-mail TFCstaff@boyshaven.org. •

VOLUNTEER: Volunteers are a strategic part of the team. They serve as advocates, ambassadors, mentors, tutors, and friends in the advancement of our mission. For more information about volunteer opportunities, please visit www.HomeAndAFuture.org or e-mail volunteer@ boyshaven.org.

•

DONATE: Even after state funding, it costs $21 per child every day in order to provide even the basic needs of our kids. Not in a place to donate money? Consider hosting a supply drive for us! Please visit www.HomeAndAFuture.org for more information about either option.

FOSTER: Do you have an extra bed and a whole lot of love to offer? Becoming a foster parent is one of the most important things you can do to change the life of a young person. Boys & Girls Haven provides training and certification for 57

Meanwhile, relationships with employers throughout the state allow us to place thousands of job seekers into work outside of Goodwill, and our unique Cars to Work program connects working Kentuckians with affordable transportation so they can maintain or improve their employment to support their families (yes, we accept vehicle donations!). If you’ve ever donated previously-loved items to us, shopped in our stores, or written Goodwill a check, please accept my sincere thanks.

Like many people, you might think Goodwill exists to provide inexpensive items for people of low income. While it’s a nice benefit for our (socioeconomically diverse) shoppers, the impact of our 64 stores reaches far beyond repurposing donated items. Everything we do revolves around the belief that employment is the only reliable way out of poverty. Since 1923, Kentucky’s Goodwill has helped tens of thousands of people achieve and maintain employment to improve their quality of life. Goodwill serves Kentuckians who have the most difficulty finding and keeping a job, whether they have a disability, criminal background, limited education, or are chronically unemployed. We believe that giving someone a hand up – not a handout – in the form of earning a paycheck brings invaluable dignity and independence.

Business Briefs To submit your business brief email circulation@redpinmedia.com THE KENTUCKY OIL AND GAS ASSOCIATION NAMES RYAN WATTS AS EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR The Kentucky Oil and Gas Association (KOGA) announced today that Ryan Watts, of Frankfort, will serve as executive director. Watts joins the association after spending nearly 14 years in Kentucky state government where he worked in various communication roles. “For nearly a century, Kentucky’s oil and gas industry has left an indelible mark on the state’s economy by providing low fuel costs, shaping a highly-skilled workforce and generating tens of millions of dollars in landowner royalties and severance revenue for local communities,” said Ryan Watts, KOGA’s executive director. “I look forward to preserving the industry’s storied history by expanding KOGA’s public outreach through effective communications and advocacy efforts.” Watts began his career as the press secretary for Lt. Governor Steve Pence. Recently, Watts served as executive director of the Office of Public Affairs for the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet (KYTC). In that capacity, Watts directed all communications and served as chief spokesman for the 4,400 employee agency, which is responsible for maintaining and preserving a vast infrastructure network across Kentucky. “Ryan’s extensive career in government and communications will be an asset to the industry,” said Maurice Royster, president of the Kentucky Oil and Gas Association. “As we continue the dialogue on energy issues in Kentucky, KOGA is excited to welcome Ryan to his new role.” LOUISVILLE AREA PLANET FITNESS CLUBS TO CONTINUE AS PRESENTING SPONSOR FOR 2018 LOUISVILLE TRIPLE CROWN OF RUNNING The Louisville Triple Crown of Running (LTCOR) is pleased to announce the continuing support of their Presenting Sponsor – Planet Fitness. 2018 marks the second year that Planet Fitness will sponsor the popular road race series.

TEDDY ABRAMS LEADS THE LOUISVILLE ORCHESTRA IN A NEW ALBUM SET FOR RELEASE ON DECCA GOLD ON SEPTEMBER 22 Charismatic conductor Teddy Abrams leads the Louisville Orchestra in a new recording – the first from this orchestra in nearly thirty years – All In. Set for release on Decca Gold, All In features a new work composed by Teddy, Unified Field, as well as Copland’s Clarinet Concerto with Teddy as soloist. Chanteuse Storm Large joins Teddy and the orchestra for three songs: a Cole Porter classic, one of her own original works, and a song by Teddy himself. The Louisville Orchestra has been reinvigorated by the young Abrams, who has been compared to Leonard Bernstein for his commitment to championing new works, education, and community engagement. Since his tenure as music director began, the orchestra has seen an exceptional growth in concert attendance and general reaffirmation of the orchestra as a gem of the Louisville community. All In is the perfect first recording from this American orchestra on New York-based Decca Gold. It’s an eclectic collection of American works, from Aaron Copland’s Clarinet Concerto to Cole Porter’s “It’s Alright With Me,” to an original song by Storm Large, “A Woman’s Worth.” What brings the album together is Teddy’s own composition “Unified Field,” itself a mélange of various American musical styles from blues, jazz, Americana, and more, in four movements.

HOUSTON, JOHN HARRIS JR. John Harris Houston Jr. died August 30, 2017 in his home. Known to his wife and family as “Duck” and his friends as “Rocket,” he played his final round and donated his clubs to science to determine how he managed to find himself continually over par. He grew up in Louisville and lived happily in Lexington until his death. He will rest at Cave Hill Cemetery. A life insurance agent and broker, he was the ultimate connector and lived his life exactly the way he wanted to live it. Due to the steadfast commitment of his wife and the loving care of his son, daughter and his caregivers, he was able to go peacefully into the dawn. He is survived by his wife Charlotte B. Houston, his son John H. Houston III, his daughter A. Holland Houston, Sally Houston Tracy (Don), Laura Allen and Katie Allen, Ami Hart (Brad) and Houston and Hayden Hart. A memorial service was held on Sunday September 3 at 3 p.m. preceded by visitation from 1 to 3 p.m. at Milward-Southland. In lieu of flowers, please make donations to the Kentucky Humane Society and First Presbyterian Church of Lawrenceburg, Kentucky.

STORR, ROBYN LEA FRANCK Robyn Lea Franck Storr, 46, of Louisville entered this life on May 11, 1971 and went to be an Angel on August 21, 2017. Robyn is the only child to Jeannette Hubbard Franck and the late Thomas Lee Franck. Robyn was the world to her mother who survives her. She was an avid and well experienced boater. She was killed in a tragic boating accident on the Ohio River. Boating was Robyn’s love second only to the love for her children. Robyn devoted herself to her daughter, Kaitlyn Taylor Storr, and son, Anthony Dale Storr, from her marriage to Todd Anthony Storr. They came first in every way. Robyn did many charity events, raising funds for fellow Harley Davidson riders, those with Down syndrome or anyone in need. She organized and helped with many benefits. Robyn loved life to the fullest, every moment of every day. In addition to her endless outpouring of love and support of her family and treasured friends, she loved all animals, especially her beloved mastiff Maye and her cat Pumpkin. She loved horses and Churchill Downs. She loved to travel and be on any beach. She also loved the Kentucky Wildcats. A friend once described her as a physical beauty. The true radiant beauty was the content of her heart. Robyn is the owner of Triple Crown Realtors where her mother is the principle broker. She is also the owner of Rain Tree Stables, a horse boarding facility located on Bardstown Road in Fern Creek. She attended Highview Baptist School. Robyn is survived by her treasured children, her heartbroken mother, members of the boating community and Harley riders. Her friends are too numerous to list. She will be greatly missed. A funeral service to celebrate Robyn’s life was conducted at 6 p.m. on Sunday, August 27 in the chapel of Arch L. Heady at Resthaven, 4400 Bardstown Rd. 0 9 . 1 4 . 2 0 1 7 V O I C E -T R I B U N E .
