FROM THE

March 31 - April 30

Anyone who has ever bought or sold a home understands how stressful the process can be, which is why real estate professionals are so important. In this issue, we celebrate a handful of women who enhance people’s lives through their professions in the industry and their commitment to animal rescue and other philanthropic endeavors, too. Most of the women featured are members of Greater Louisville Women’s Council of REALTORS, which is hosting Hats Off for Derby 9:30 a.m. to 2 p.m. April 12 at Churchill Downs. The event – which includes plenty of shopping and a fashion show produced by Andre Wilson of Style Icon – will benefit Animal Care Society, a no-kill animal adoption agency founded in 1984. Thus far, the Louisville organization has placed more than 8,000 dogs, cats, puppies and kittens in new homes. Tickets to Hats Off for Derby are $75 or $500 for a table of eight. For more information, contact Barb Jeffries at bjeffries@republicbank.com or 502.817.6139. You can learn more about Animal Care Society, the benefiting charity, at animalcaresociety.org. By now, I hope you’ve had the opportunity to peruse this year’s Derby Preview Issue, which debuted last week at a wonderful launch party hosted at John Varanese’s Levee at the River House. I am incredibly proud of The Voice-Tribune team of freelancers and full-timers who produced the glossy publication. My only regret was my unintentional omission of naming the Helen Wells Agency in the credits as the agency of record for the models in the fashion shoots. Mea culpa. Despite what Mother Nature throws our way, Spring has officially sprung and the Kentucky Derby Festival has started, too. Hats off to the next several exciting weeks of Derby Season!

SPOTLIGHT

StageOne’s Playmakers Gala As told by StageOne Marketing Director Whitney Adkins

Jason and Libby Milligan, Debbie and Steve Hudson, Laura and Nick Chitwood and Leslie and Travis Wood.

WHAT TO EXPECT StageOne’s Playmakers Gala is unique in that it is truly a family-friendly event. Guests will be among the first to experience the world premiere of “American Tales: John Henry, Pecos Bill, & Brer Rabbit,” as a family with a special performance. We’ll also be introducing our new producing artistic director at 5 p.m. in the Bomhard Theatre at The Kentucky Center. Guests will then head over to the Muhammad Ali Center for dinner, drinks, a silent auction and raffle drawing for our Ultimate Broadway Getaway. Our young guests will be treated to a special kids-only pizza dinner and an evening of theater games led by StageOne’s education team. As for the Ultimate Broadway Getaway raffle, the lucky winner and three guests will receive round-trip airfare to New York City, hotel accommodations, Broadway tickets to a show of their choice (choose from “Aladdin,” “Anastasia,” “School of Rock,” “The Lion King,” or “Frozen” or “Hamilton” for an additional fee), dinner with cast members and a special meet-and-greet after the show. Tickets are still available but going fast – only 1,000 chances will be sold. Tickets can be purchased at stageone.org. You don’t have to be present for the drawing to win, but why would you want to miss out on all the fun?

WHO IT BENEFITS At StageOne, our mission is to inspire 8

and educate children and families by opening the doors to imagination, opportunity and empathy. All gifts made in support of this event directly benefit StageOne’s Play it Forward program, which allows tens of thousands of children to see a StageOne show at no ticket cost. Support from our Gala and Gala guests gives these children the benefit of live theatre, an experience they might never have without Play It Forward. Since 2010, StageOne’s Play it Forward ticket underwriting program has provided access to StageOne student matinees at no ticket cost to students from Louisville and the surrounding area. As the program continues, we welcome more students from more grades than ever before, and the support of our patrons and members of the community is crucial to the program’s success.

ABOUT THE SHOW We close out our 71st season with the world premiere of “American Tales,” by Idris Goodwin (also author of “And In This Corner…Cassius Clay.”) Join in the adventures of John Henry and his steel-driving hammer, twister-lassoing Pecos Bill and the mischievous trickster Brer Rabbit. “American Tales” will resonate with the adventurous spirit within every child when it premieres on March 24 at the Playmakers Gala. Performances will continue through April 14. Tickets and more information can be found at www.stageone.org. VT

Top 9 Killer Core Exercises with Annie Locke

ummer’s coming and you’re determined to have stronger, leaner abs. Pretty much every woman and man on the planet is more than a little obsessed with flattening out the region between their chest and pelvis — and it ain’t easy! I took a poll in my fitness classes asking which area of the body people struggled with most; the number one answer was abs. First things first: you can’t spot-reduce fat. You can’t grab a part of your abs or your love handles and just get rid of one problem area. You must burn calories to burn fat while you condition your abs. I reached out to my dear friend Annie Locke, manger of Pure Barre. Annie has been a fitness expert over 30 years and truly has the best abs I have ever seen. I asked Annie to share the top nine ab and core exercises she loves the most. I showed up at Pure Barre, where she took me through two hours of her favorite exercises. My abs and core are still sore from this experience!

Her knowledge of the body and the core is mesmerizing – as is as her wit and her fitness endurance – so it was hard to narrow down her top nine. The list of exercises below are just some of her favorites core exercises to do at home. Note, these are meant to complement your existing workout. The combination targets every muscle in your abdominal wall. Do all nine moves, but remember that some are side specific, so you’ll need to repeat them on the other side. Try to do each move for 20 reps three times, then repeat the entire sequence one more time. Also, eating properly and doing your other training three or four times a week is key. We all have that tight core; we just need to strip it away with diet and exercise. As the saying goes, “Your abs are made in the kitchen.” If you’re not eating right, your abs will (or won’t, rather) show it. All you will need is a mat or towel to lay on, a smaller towel and a hand weight if you have one available.

1 2. Walk Ups: Lying supine, keep your head on the floor with your legs up towards the ceiling. With arms by your side, start to take one step and then another, reaching towards the sky. Repeat. Your glutes should be coming off of the floor with each reach upward.

1. Classic 100s: Lying supine, move both of your feet towards the ceiling. Lift your head and shoulders off of the floor, forming a C curve. With arms by your side, lift off of the floor and start to move your arms up and down. As your arms are moving up and down, keep an eye on your core – try not to let anything move. (Jeff is in the starting position; Annie is in a more advanced position, lowering her legs to where she feels comfortable.) If you have lower back issues leave your head on the floor.

3. Plank Knee Drop: Start prone on the floor. Place your elbows under your shoulders. Lift your body off the floor into a plank. Drop one knee and then the other towards the floor, repeating one after the other.

8. V-Sit Twist: Grab your towel and sit on the floor with your knees bent. Facing forward with your arms extended, lean back, twist your side and lower your arm. Then, twist forward in the same direction again. To progress this, engage your core and lift your legs.

4. Four Count Roll-up: Start in a seated position with your legs extended in front of you. Reach your arms toward your feet, then slowly lower your torso to the floor. Counting slowly to four with your hands reaching forward. Once you touch the floor, repeat on the way up. Regression assist yourself on the way up.

6. Standing Oblique Crunch: Stand with your legs wide and your feet pointing out, taking one hand to your head while the opposite hand goes behind your leg. Take the hand by your leg and reach slowly towards the floor. Go as low as you feel comfortable. To make it more challenging, add a small weight to the hand that is reaching for the floor.

5. Side Lying V-Up: Lie on your side with your elbow directly underneath your shoulder. Place your opposite arm in the opposite direction. Integrate your core by bringing your feet up towards the ceiling. Lift your arm and touch your feet, then lower your legs back to the floor.

9. Wall Sit-ups: Start lying down with your feet on the wall, your knees at a 90Â° angle and your hands overhead. Do a classic sit-up, lifting your torso off of the floor and touching the wall. To progress this, keep your feet at the base of the wall. VT

oused in a renovated historical building dating back to 1875 in the burgeoning neighborhood of NuLu, you’ll find Decca. A unique, multifaceted three-story space, Decca offers two intimate dining rooms; an upstairs vintage record and book shop that doubles as a private dining room; and underground bar tucked in the basement called “The Cellar Lounge,” which features weekly live music, bar bites and craft cocktails. Decca’s large outdoor courtyard and stage – complete with a fire pit and beautiful meandering water installation – serves as another warm and curated space to enjoy live performances, food and gatherings. Drawing on her North Carolina roots, experiences cooking on the west coast and love for Kentucky, chef and owner Annie Pettry offers soulful American cuisine that infuses Southern and Appalachian ingredients. Executive Chef Cody Stone works closely with Pettry to create seasonal menus with local and sustainable products that define Decca’s cuisine. A “Top Chef” Season 14 contestant, Pettry was also named one of “Restaurant Hospitality’s” 15 To Watch in 2015, a 2014 & 2015 “Food & Wine” People’s Best New Chef nominee and a 2014 “Star Chefs” Rising Star.

Truly Magnificent Mona Bismarck exhibit arrives at the Frazier History Museum Story by Janice Carter Levitch Photos by Tim Valentino MAGNIFICENT MONA BISMARCK The Frazier History Museum Now through July 29 fraziermuseum.org/monabismarck

he legendary Mona Bismarck was born in Louisville in 1897, and was known for her beauty, elegance and style. She bequeathed her fortune, including her Parisian townhouse, to support the unique friendship between the French and American people through the arts, fashion and culture. If you’re ever in Paris, stroll on over to 34, avenue de New York, located in the 16th arrondissement (administrative district) and say “bonjour” to Bianca Roberts, executive director of the Mona Bismarck American Center. It is poised to be the premier venue for American art and artists in the Parisian cultural capital of Europe. The elite 16th arrondissement is home to renowned museums, foreign embassies and wealthy residents. Overlooking the Seine River with a clear view of the Eiffel Tower, the home where Bismarck lived is nothing short of spectacular. As swanky as the 16th arrondissement may be, I felt welcomed when I met Roberts. I had the opportunity to sit down with her recently over a cup of un café noisette, or as

we say in America, “a cup of joe.” She flew in from Paris to attend the VIP reception for “Magnificent Mona Bismarck,” held on March 14 at the Frazier History Museum. We discussed what a remarkable woman Bismarck was. Through her father’s connections in the Thoroughbred industry, she married well – a total of five times – and each marriage elevated her social status and wealth. The first American to be voted “The Best Dressed Woman in the World” by top couturiers, Bismarck became a fashion icon and philanthropist. Roberts told me, “We build bridges between the professional arts communities in France and in the United States. Mona is always there as our patron and inspiration.” The opening reception was enchanting from the moment I entered the museum. Enveloped in shades of champagne pink selected by Bittners, I was compelled to stay on point with the color theme and enjoyed a glass of pink champagne. As I sipped, I had a conversation with Jon Carloftis and his partner Dale Fisher regarding a forthcoming project for the Frazier. Carloftis said, “I feel 0 3 . 2 2 . 2 0 1 8 V O I C E -T R I B U N E . C O M

honored Penny (Peavler, president and CEO of the Frazier History Museum) asked me to help consult with architect Nick Holmes of the Weber Group, with design and plant information for the new entrance of the Frazier History Museum. We are using all native plants to Kentucky to help tell the story.” Jon is a gifted American gardener based in Lexington (look for Jon Carloftis Fine Gardens) and became fascinated with Bismarck when his famous photographer friend, Bruce Weber, asked for help researching her life. Peavler later gathered the crowd for a few words of thanks to all of the sponsors and supporters, “I’d like to recognize our staff at this time and guest curator, Scott Rogers, who for the last two years have been working together to bring this exhibition to fruition,” she said. Peavler also introduced Tonya Abeln, community relations director for Churchill Downs. Abeln graciously noted, “Churchill Downs is so proud to be the presenting sponsor of ‘Magnificent Mona Bismarck.’ But beyond that, we’re very delighted to partner with the Frazier Museum, another organization that brings the best of Kentucky to the world.” You could feel the excitement in the air as guests mingled and made their way down the pink corridor leading to the exhibit – showcasing photos, correspondence and over 50 garments and numerous vignettes of jewels that are exquisite works of art. Everyone stood a little taller, walked a little slower and savored the evening as they admired this remarkable exhibition. Magnificent, indeed, Mona. I know you’ve inspired me to take the time to dress a little finer, even if I’m in the garden. VT

There’s much to love about real estate – and rescue animals, too. Compiled by Angie Fenton Photos by Frankie Steele

t should come as no surprise that real estate professionals are among the biggest contributors to charitable causes. After all, they make their living helping people achieve their dreams. Unsurprisingly, many of them are passionate about nonprofits of all manner, including ones that advocate for animals. We asked a handful of members – and one supporter – of Greater Louisville Women’s Council of REALTORS (WCR) to share a bit of insight into the motivation behind their professional lives and the role rescue animals play in their lives, too. You can join WCR April 12 at Churchill Downs when they host Hats Off for Derby benefiting Louisville’s Animal Care Society.

“If we want Louisville to continue to be a great place to live, it is important that we all give back to the community in some way.” Why is animal rescue important to you? I have six cats. Three are rescues. One was part of a feral colony born in my neighborhood. I trapped the litter and was able to socialize them and get them adopted out, but I kept one. Last May, I became aware of a litter of kittens living in a burnt-out liquor store in Smoketown. One had been attacked by another animal and was ultimately euthanized due to its extensive injuries. I trapped the remaining two kittens, socialized them, got attached and kept both. Years in real estate: 4.5 Role with the Greater Louisville Women’s Council of REALTORS: Currently, I am a member. I have previously served on the board as the recording secretary and membership director. What does a “typical” day look like for you? Wake up early. Go to the gym and get my workout done before the phone starts ringing. Work from the office I share with my husband in Shelby Park. Show houses in the evening. 0 3 . 2 2 . 2 0 1 8 V O I C E -T R I B U N E . C O M

Attend board meetings for the nonprofits I love. Go home and love on my fur babies. Go to bed early because I get up early. Repeat. What attracted you to real estate? I am extroverted, and I love to help people. My previous career as an attorney prepared me well because I’m a great negotiator and problem solver. I excel at complex transactions, such as estate sales and foreclosure, due to my knowledge of the law. What does the Women’s Council of REALTORS mean to you? WCR means training that allows me to be the best at my profession. It also means networking and camaraderie with people who help me provide great service. WCR is known for – among other things – giving back to the community. Why is this important to you, and what are some of your favorite charitable organizations? If we want Louisville to continue to be a great place to live, it is important that we all give back to the community in some way. Everyone has time, talent or money to contribute. My favorite local organizations to support

include Hildegard House, Alley Cat Advocates, Safe Place Services, CASA and St. John’s Center for Homeless Men. What can you share about the local market and what advice do you have for buyers and sellers? Inventory of available homes for sale is low and demand is high, so now is a great time to sell. I’ve received eight to nine offers on the last two homes I listed for clients, and most offers were well above the list price. It is a tougher market for buyers due to high demand and reduced supply of homes. However, there are some tricks that can get buyers to the top of the pile of offers – even in a competitive market. The Louisville market is a stable market. We do not see the large swings that some other markets experience. My advice for sellers: Hire a home stager. It makes a huge difference in how fast your home sells and how much you get for it. My advice for buyers: Don’t overlook homes that might work for you because they aren’t perfect. Find out what it would take to make you happy and if that is within your budget. 17

“Where we live and how it nurtures us is so important.”

LYN MABRY

PICTURED WITH GALEN Owner/Lead Designer Living Spaces by Lyn Why is animal rescue important to you? I found Galen through the local chapter of GRRAND, a wonderful Golden Retriever rescue group. I have been very involved in animal rescue since my days of owning a pet boarding facility in the Nashville area. I saw firsthand how devastating it was for these wonderful creatures to be abandoned, abused or just uncared for in the worst ways. So, I decided I would try to save as many as I could, one or two dogs at a time. They save me everyday. Galen was found wandering around the interstate somewhere in southern Indiana and taken to a local shelter. The shelter is called GRRAND, which was able to pick him up and bring him to Louisville. I had recently lost my rescued yellow lab Simon and had signed up to foster a rescued golden. The rest is history. we fell in love at first sight with Galen. Years in real estate: 18

I am not a realtor but have been working alongside my realtor friends as a stager and home re-designer for over 10 years. Role with the Greater Louisville Women’s Council of REALTORS: I am a proud affiliate member of WCR; my company, Living Spaces, is a major sponsor (Strategic Partner is what we are called) and I am currently on the Spring Fashion Show committee in charge of how the room will look when decorated for the event. What does a “typical” day look like for you? I am an early riser, so my day starts at 5 a.m. every morning, and from 5 a.m. until 7 a.m. I work on my schedule as well as the day’s appointments for my small team of design divas. (My team loves getting texts from me at 5 a.m. They all turn off their phones). From 7 a.m. to 9 a.m. I walk Galen, do a yoga/med-

itation routine, eat, dress and then I’m off for the day. I am out in the field most everyday until 6 p.m. – on site for renovation projects, staging properties or meeting clients for design consultations. When I come home, Galen is waiting for me with his tail wagging, and we go for another walk usually with a friend and her dog. I’ll have dinner with my partner or a friend and then head to bed by 9 p.m., usually to read until I fall asleep. What attracted you to real estate? I am attracted to the industry because I love homes and the process of buying and selling. (It’s) such an important transaction. Folks are either leaving a beloved space or acquiring one. Where we live and how it nurtures us is so important. What does the Women’s Council of REALTORS mean to you? WCR is a community of the coolest women I know. As a female professional, I am so grateful to be able to hang around such smart, caring women. WCR is known for – among other things – giving back to the community. Why is this important to you and what are some of your favorite charitable organizations? WCR does a great job. This organization has the mindset of always giving back, and that is one of the reasons I decided to join. My volunteer time and resources are focused in a couple of directions: Volunteers of America (I’m currently involved in the finishing touches of their new facility, Freedom House); Shamrock Animal Rescue; GRRAND animal rescue; and Hearts in Motion, which funds service trips to Guatemala and other areas of extreme poverty in South America. What can you share about the local market and what advice do you have for buyers and sellers? It is a great time to sell. The market is so crazy busy! There is currently lots of demand in my part of the business for remodeling – either baby boomers who want to update their homes to be able to age in place or young couples looking for that first real home, perhaps a cute shotgun that needs renovating. My advice to sellers is to start preparing your home to sell three to six months before you plan to put it on the market. It is a big undertaking, so even in this crazy market, do it right. Find a good realtor; they are worth their weight in gold. And then call us at Living Spaces. We can guide sellers through the process of decluttering, updating their beloved spaces with current color schemes, lighting, etc. We stage the space to show the best features of the home and to showcase the bones to the sellers. We are experts in staging for the best advantage for MLS photos. Our goal is to work closely with your realtor and sell your home very quickly and for at least the asking price if not higher. 0 3 . 2 2 . 2 0 1 8 V O I C E -T R I B U N E . C O M

LEESA HILL PICTURED WITH HANNAH

Broker Associate United Real Estate Louisville Why is animal rescue important to you? Hannah is my 10-year-old rescue yellow lab, and I also have Sammy, a two-year-old rescue cat and two semi-feral kitties that live on my front porch. Hannah belonged to a neighbor who would leave her alone for days at a time. He would leave the garage door up about a foot and a half with a huge bag of cheap dog food cut open and laying on the floor. (There’s) no telling how many critters she had to share with. She still goes crazy when she sees possums. On the third of July in 2016, I came home from Kroger in the rain, and she was walking in front of our house. The battery had died in her collar and she made her break. I took her in the garage, dried her off and gave her some food and water. She fell sound asleep on the garage floor. About 10 that night, we took her to Blue Pearl and she was chipped. They 0 3 . 2 2 . 2 0 1 8 V O I C E -T R I B U N E . C O M

called the owner who said, “Oh, she’s really old – 13 or 14 (she was only 8) – so just euthanize her. Blue Pearl said we can’t do that so he said, “Fine. Just open the front door and let her out.” We took her home, and she has been with us ever since. Rescue is so important because all of these sweet fur babies deserve loving homes. If I had the space, I would have many more. Most of my friends feel the same way and have as many rescue pets as they have room for. It makes my heart happy to give these babies love. Years in real estate: I have been a Realtor for 25 years. Role with the Greater Louisville Women’s Council of REALTORS: Since I have been a member for so long, I have held just about every position. Right now, I consider myself the old guard – spreading the message of WCR and encouraging

new real estate agents to get involved. What does a “typical” day look like for you? For me, there is no such thing, although when I get up I check email, texts, look at the hot sheet from our board and check my calendar. I might be with clients, I might be teaching or I might be training in our office. Literally every day is different. Unless I’m showing property or writing an offer, I am usually finished by 6 p.m. or so. Then, I head home for dinner with my hubby or off to a University of Louisville basketball game. What attracted you to real estate? What attracted me to real estate was the opportunity to help families realize the accomplishment of home ownership. The flexible hours worked great for me while my son was in school. Then I began teaching real estate classes, and I’ve been doing that for over 15 years. But my greatest joy is teaching and training brand new agents at my company. What does the Women’s Council of REALTORS mean to you? When I joined WCR in 1997, it was a wonderful way to meet other agents and network. I have served in many capacities through the years, including local chapter president and state president. I have made many lasting friendships with other members and have learned so much through the WCR educational opportunities. WCR is known for – among other things – giving back to the community. Why is this important to you and what are some of your favorite charitable organizations? As a founding member of Child’s Spirit, a charity created with other real estate agents to help raise the spirits of very ill children, I truly appreciate the charitable contributions WCR has made in our community, both monetarily and with volunteers. What can you share about the local market and what advice do you have for buyers and sellers? Market-wise, right now it is weird to say the least. Our inventory is extremely low and sellers are concerned that if they sell, they will have no place to go. My advice to buyers is to get their financing in place, be prepared to act quickly and always use a Realtor. Sellers: this market is for you. With the help of a Realtor, make sure your home is priced correctly and line up options if your house sells quickly. If we all work together and abide by the code of ethics, it will be win-win. 19

LOUISE MILLER PICTURED WITH SHARLEE AND MAX

“I love my profession because it allows me to help and educate buyers as they achieve the goal of owning a home.”

Broker Associate Berkshire Hathaway Parks and Weisberg Realtors

Why is animal rescue important to you? Sharlee was born in a puppy mill in Virginia. We obtained her through Col. Potter Cairn Rescue Network, a national nonprofit rescue organization, when she was four months old. She is now 14 and a great part of our family. Max was born into rescue from parents who were breeders in a puppy mill. His litter was premature, with him weighing in at 2.5 ounces. He is now 12 years old and one of our “kids.” Years in real estate: I have been in real estate for 33 years, am also very involved in the local REALTOR association and am a past president of the Greater Louisville Association of REALTORS. Role with the Greater Louisville Women’s Council of REALTORS: I have served or chaired in numerous capacities with Women’s Council of REALTORS, including as the 2016 president. 20

What does a “typical” day look like for you? I start my day early. I search for my clients’ needs, catch up with emails, make business calls and head to the office if I do not have outside appointments. Typically, no two days look alike, as things can change at a moment’s notice. The day usually ends in appointments or a quiet evening with my laptop or time with my husband. What attracted you to real estate? I moved to Louisville as a teacher with very small children, and I thought this profession would allow me to have more flexibility. What does the Women’s Council of REALTORS mean to you? Of all of the organizations I have been a part of, I have found WCR to be one of the most cohesive, professional groups of women I have ever been involved with. WCR is known for – among other things – giving back to the community.

You can learn more about Animal Care Society, the benefiting charity, at www.animalcaresociety.org.

Why is this important to you and what are some of your favorite charitable organizations? I am a founding member of Child’s Spirit, Inc., which help families that have children with challenges. This encompasses many types of challenges, but mostly medical challenges. WCR is also committed to helping others, and that is why our fashion show commits a portion of the proceeds to a different charity each year. This is an organization I am proud to be a member of. What can you share about the local market, and what advice do you have for

buyers and sellers? We have an unusual market at the present time with great interest rates and little inventory of available homes. My advice would be if you are a buyer, get approved for a loan before even looking at the first home, and if you are a seller, do what is necessary long before your home is on the market to have it in prime showing condition.

F E AT U R E

Why is animal rescue important to you? We had just lost a dog and I was looking at the Kentucky Humane Society’s website and came across Bella’s photo. There was something about her eyes. The next day, our family went to go see her at the Springhurst Feeders Supply, and the rest is history. We fell in love with her and took her home. We don’t know how she survived that brutal January a few years ago being as tiny as she was (she was 8 pounds when we got her). Apparently, she was found on the side of a road in Ashland, Kentucky. We aren’t sure how she made her way to Louisville, but we are so glad that she did. She is the best, sweetest and most loving dog we have ever had. I think we are all glad that we found each other and are grateful for each other every day. Adopting and rescuing is important to me because there are so many wonderful animals in shelters waiting for a family to bring them home and love them. When you give them a second chance, what you get back in return is beyond anything that you can imagine. Years in real estate: 2 years What does a “typical” day look like for you? There is no such thing as a typical day in real estate. Every day brings something different, and some days, every hour brings something different. What attracted you to the real estate industry? I have always loved architecture and design and, in fact, worked for an architecture firm for a number of years in Michigan and for several nonprofit architectural organizations in other cities. I also have a master’s degree in urban planning with a focus on historic preservation planning, so jumping into the real estate industry was a natural progression for me. Greater Louisville Women’s Council of REALTORS is known – among other things – for giving back to the community. Why is this important to you and what are some of your favorite charitable organizations? Even though I am not yet a member of the WCR, I feel that it is incredibly important to give back to the community that I live in, which has given so much to me. Some, but certainly not all, of my favorite charitable organizations are Blessings in a Backpack, Home of the Innocents, CASA, Ronald McDonald House, Center for Women and Families, Elderserve and the Kentucky Humane Society What can you share about the local market and what advice do you have for buyers and sellers? The local market is ramping up for spring but is still very tight with not a lot of inventory out there. Now is a great time to sell, but if you are trying to buy there is not a lot to choose from, and you will likely face a situation in which you are not the only one making an offer on a property, especially if it is move-in ready in certain areas of town. More and more, we are finding that there isn’t necessarily a good time to buy or sell. It used to be the spring and summer markets were it, but now it’s year-round. In fact, we had one of our busiest winters ever this past year with buyers and sellers alike. My advice to buyers is that if you find a house that you fall in love with that meets all of your criteria, you need to act quickly as many homes are going under contract in a day and often with multiple offers. Also, you need to be prepared to pay the asking price or, in some cases, above it to get the house. My advice to sellers is that curb appeal and good design always sells houses. Buyers often have a hard time looking beyond your taste, personal effects and clutter, so a few easy and inexpensive things you can do is put photos and knick-knacks away, clean off counter tops in your kitchen and baths, clean the carpets, clean the windows and paint any rooms that are taste-specific in a nice neutral color.

Good Times in Dunedin and Akaroa By Carla Sue Broecker

Adult and chick at the Royal Albatross Center in Dunedin, New Zealand.

Green lip mussels lunch at Auckland Cafe.

ew Zealand is a gorgeous country; fresh, green, friendly. There are no negative adjectives. We had a marvelous stay in Dunedin on our cruise on the Seven Seas Voyager, and the city was just lovely. On the second day in Dunedin, everyone started off in a wonderful mood. We were headed off to go drink (or at least sip) and tour Speight’s Brewery, which is a sort of large, designer brewery. They enjoy having visitors and gave us the full walkabout. We learned about hops and all the stuff that goes into making beer from a great tour guide. He loves his job and the company, and even loves explaining every last detail that you would want to know. But the tour lasted over an hour, and we were getting thirsty. When the tour was finished, we were invited into their tasting room. The beer was full-bodied and delicious, especially after having missed breakfast on the ship. Husband Brad, who isn’t a beer fan, loved the cider that they also make. He even found out that it has as much alcohol as the beer, and his morning buzz was as good as the rest. Not only did we have beer before lunch, we did the “mandatory” shopping in their souvenir shop. Hillerich & Bradsby has nothing on them! Loaded with t-shirts, caps, “cosies” and jackets, it was a souvenir hunter’s paradise and we did our part to support the establishment. We then walked down the block to the neighborhood bar/restaurant that is owned by the brewery. Before leaving the ship, we had been given the menu for the restaurant, so we wasted no time ordering Southern blue cod ‘n chips and burgers. The portions were enormous, and then came dessert served in an old fashioned soda glass with a whole bunch of berries on the bottom and ice cream and whipped cream on the top. Others had a slice of lemon meringue pie. All of this was freshly produced just for us. Upon arriving back at the ship, we set sail for Akaroa, New Zealand. That evening was extra fun since we had dinner with the staff captain, who is an Italian charmer. He speaks great English and had selected some other guests to dine with us, all of whom were fun. You never know when you get these invites if it is going to be with a bunch of stiffs or not, but this time it wasn’t. Since boarding the ship on Dec. 29, we have had dinner with two captains (one got off and one got on), the general manager, the

staff captain mentioned above, two different social hostesses and the cruise director – all at different times. I am saving up an interview with the cruise director for another column. He is going to be a friend for life. I think you will enjoy my conversation with the executive chef when he has time to talk to me. Now, back to Akaroa. It is the oldest colonial town on the South Island and is part of the Southern Alps. It has a shallow port, so we anchored off the island and tendered ashore. There are lots of small farms, and as far as I could tell the main activities included going to church, punting and drinking. They do have a wonderful museum housed in a former cheese factory that features over 3,000 artifacts. Wellington was next on the trip “down under.” We didn’t spend a lot of time there, but what time we did have was not wasted. Wellington’s famous Old Saint Paul’s, constructed entirely of native timbers, is one of the finest examples of timber Gothic Revival architecture in the world. They had a wonderful gift shop with a Christmas section full of unusual items. The most glorious highlight of the Wellington shore excursion was Wellington Botanic Garden, which is known for its floral bedding displays. We saw the award-winning Lady Norwood Rose Garden (in full scent), plant collections and stunning seasonal floral bedding displays. We missed the 25,000 tulips from spring, but we did enjoy the begonia house and the succulent, fragrant and herb gardens. The next time we are here, we have the cable cars, the Beehive building, the Parliament buildings and the Great War Exhibition on our “to-see” list. During World War II, over 20,000 U.S. Marines were stationed in the Wellington region. Old St. Paul’s was their place of worship where lifelong friendships with families in Wellington were made. Next on our itinerary was Napier. We have been to Napier before and love it. A major earthquake destroyed the city back in the 1930s. The city fathers that set about its reconstruction had the vision not do it by committee; just one local architect took over the complete planning of the city. They incorporated wider streets and marvelous art deco reconstruction of all the buildings, and they wisely buried all utilities underground, adding to the charm and beauty of the place. At most of the intersections in the center of the town, they cut off the buildings at an angle to make 0 3 . 2 2 . 2 0 1 8 V O I C E -T R I B U N E . C O M

traffic movement easier. On top of all of this, many of the residents dress in 30s-style clothing and drive vintage cars. Some are available for hire to take you on tours of the city, which has a population of about 62,000. To see the city, our shore excursion consisted of a ride on the Hawkes Bay Express, a “train” that had an engine and three cars and pulled us around the city streets. It is a charming tour operated by a husband and wife team who physically built the train. We took the time to go back to an antique shop we visited on a previous trip, but did not find any treasures that we had to have. This was the end of a cruise segment where many guests got off and others arrived, so we spent a day at Bay of Islands, New Zealand. It is a tiny resort town, and it was necessary to venture into town since Husband Brad had several missions to accomplish. He found a jeweler who repaired his watchband and then 0 3 . 2 2 . 2 0 1 8 V O I C E -T R I B U N E . C O M

a great drug store to stock up on supplies for tummy disorders. While there, he found a local art fair where they were selling possum gloves and other knitted items. No, they are not gloves for possums; they are gloves made from a blend of Merino wool and possum fur. Possums are considered pests in New Zealand, but they have found a good use for the little critters. We sailed into Auckland on a warm, bright sunny day. The dock is right downtown in the midst of everything, and if shopping is on your agenda, you can walk to nearly every famous brand-name store within five minutes of leaving the ship. For the first part of the day, we chose a shore excursion that would take us to some of the best sights – including the Auckland War Memorial Museum, which we really wanted to see. It was built in 1929 and is a beautiful, classical, monumental structure

that would make any city proud. The place is more of a historical museum than a war memorial, but we had a great guide and loved every minute of the tour. The exhibits were presented and explained well. The interior of the building, like the exterior, was gloriously clean and well laid out. In the afternoon, Brad had his eyes set on a saloon-type bar and restaurant that serves green lip mussels by the kilo. He had been there before with friends, and there was no slowing him down. After a bowl of chowder and a half kilo of mussels with lobster and brandy sauce, he was a happy and very full camper. The next day we were retracing our steps back toward Sydney across the Tasman Sea and the forecast for rough weather looked like it was going to become a reality. More about the bouncy Tasman next week. VT

Celebrating, Honoring, Remembering Story by Janice Carter Levitch Photos by Ed Brown

he International Women’s Day Luncheon was held March 8 at the Speed Art Museum. The luncheon was catered by Wiltshire Pantry and celebrated Hattie Bishop Speed, Alice Speed Stoll and Christina Lee Brown for their inspiration as community leaders. Director of the Speed Art Museum Stephen Reily eloquently introduced the luncheon by saying, “We are here today to celebrate and honor these women along with numerous others. You will see their names on our wall plaques downstairs and upstairs. We’re also using (this time) to celebrate passionate and visionary women leaders in our community and bring these groups together.” He added, “I wanted a performer here, so I reached out to a friend of mine, a wonderful civic leader named Dave Christopher, who’s here. Dave runs a great organization in West Louisville called AMPED, a recording studio and educational facility. Dave found singer Erica Denise Bledsaw, manager of youth education and fine arts at Louisville Central Community Center and asked her to perform today.” Erica sang several songs that made most all of us tear up, including one of my personal favorites – “Somewhere Over the Rainbow.” The luncheon was made possible by LG&E and KU. Angie Evans, the company’s director of corporate responsibility, noted, “This day is about celebrating all women, and we’ve had some amazing women honored here today. Now, we’re going to honor some women in person. These are the first women who had been chosen or appointed to serve in top positions of leadership.” Honors were then presented to several local community members who are the first women to serve in their current leadership positions. Switching gears...I had the privilege of attending another special event this month at the

Louisville Country Club. The Kilgore Luncheon and Style Show was a sold-out fundraiser held on March 7 to benefit the Kilgore Samaritan Counseling Center. The clothing was provided by Rodes for Him For Her, which is always sophisticated and elegant. Renowned fashion designer Lourdes Chavez provided an extensive lineup of her spring/summer collection for 2018 along with several other-worldly outfits from Rodes, which helped all of us get in the spirit of shopping to prepare for Derby and Oaks. Woo Speed McNaughton opened the style show by modeling a colorful, sumptuous piece from the collection. She was followed by several other recognizable local women who volunteered their time to take a stroll down the runway. But the children really stole the show by wearing adorable clothing by Animal Crackers. Backstage, committee member and active community leader Ann Fleming was on hand to draw the winning raffle ticket for a Christine Moore designer hat. Ann said afterward, “We are thrilled with the success of the event. Due to the flooding, we had to change the venue quickly, but the sold-out crowd seemed to have a wonderful time supporting a great cause. We couldn’t have had the event without the leadership of Sue Vogt with Rodes For Him For Her, Fiona Starks with Animal Crackers, emcee Kay Matton and Nanz & Kraft Florist, as well as the fabulous, fun community models!” Nick Carter, Karen Stout and several other stylists from Joseph’s Salon and Spa worked their magic when preparing the models for the show. Susan Vogt of Rodes held everyone’s attention when she cued the music for the show to begin; all of us snapped to attention and nervously giggled. However, our nerves were soothed following her instructions for each of us to “just have fun,” which she said numerous times. 0 3 . 2 2 . 2 0 1 8 V O I C E -T R I B U N E . C O M

LOUISVILLE METRO AND AIRBNB ANNOUNCE TAX AGREEMENT

Louisville Metro and Airbnb recently announced the finalization of an agreement that will allow the company to collect and remit taxes on behalf of its hosts in Louisville and Jefferson County. Effective April 1, Airbnb will automatically collect and remit the Louisville Transient Room Tax (8.5%) for taxable bookings. The agreement allows Louisville to fully benefit from people visiting and staying longer through home sharing. Collecting and remitting hotel taxes can be complicated as the rules were designed for traditional hospitality providers and large hotel corporations with teams of lawyers and accountants. That’s why Airbnb has begun partnering with governments throughout the world to collect and remit taxes, making the process seamless and easy for hosts to pay their fair share while contributing new revenue for local governments. These agreements are particularly impactful for a city like Louisville, where some homeowners may only be hosting visitors during a handful of large events such as the Kentucky Derby and, therefore, are less likely to be aware of the applicable taxes associated with short-term rentals. “I am delighted to see that the city has settled on an agreement with Airbnb. We have leisure and convention travelers requesting the option of an Airbnb. We have a growing number of Airbnb hosts in Louisville – this will put them on the same playing field as our other accommodations in paying the transient room tax,” said Karen Williams, President & CEO of the Louisville Convention Bureau. “We are always looking for opportunities to better serve taxpayers,” said Louisville Metro Revenue Commission Director Angela Dunn. “This agreement advances that goal by streamlining the local tax process for hosts.” This marks Airbnb’s third tax agreement in Kentucky. In September 2017, the company announced a statewide tax agreement with the Kentucky Department of Revenue that authorized the company to collect and remit the state sales tax on all Kentucky Airbnb bookings (including in Louisville Metro). And earlier this year, Airbnb and Lexington announced an agreement authorizing Airbnb to collect and remit Lexington’s local room tax. “We believe this agreement will unlock significant new revenue for Louisville Convention Bureau moving forward, and we’re so thrilled to have finalized it well prior to the Derby,” said Laura Spanjian, policy director for Airbnb. “With clear, fair rules to regulate home sharing and now a tax agreement to bring in new revenue, Louisville has emerged as a national model for how cities can capitalize from the sharing economy.” The agreement comes at a time of dynamic home sharing growth in the Greater Louisville area. In 2017, Louisville-area Airbnb hosts earned $10 million in supplemental income while welcoming over 78,000 guest arrivals to the city.

VisionFirst recently celebrated the grand opening of their newest office in St. Matthews, making their business the fastest growing locally-owned eye care practice in Louisville. They’re excited to now boast 15 different locations in Kentucky and Southern Indiana. This new office is located at 285 N. Hubbards Lane in Louisville. VisionFirst has overseen the renovation of this building over the last few months. They are especially proud of the stone mosaic wall that patients will see upon entry to the office. Many patients will find the location familiar as it’s in the same shopping center as the neighborhood Kroger and just across the street from Target on Westport Road.

Dr. Koopman and Dr. Lannon, two of VisionFirst’s beloved doctors, are excited to begin serving the people of St. Matthews from this office. When asked about the new opportunity, Dr. Lannon said, “I am truly looking forward to bringing the VisionFirst family to the St. Matthew’s area. I cannot tell you how many people I have talked to who are excited to have our high-quality eye care and customer service so much more accessible. These are frequently people who, up until now, have been willing to travel all the way across town to another VisionFirst office and will now have an office conveniently located to meet their needs. What an opportunity!” VisionFirst – St. Matthews is already receiving appointment requests and in its initial weeks, their team hopes to fill the St. Matthews office with new patients along with many current ones who may find this location more convenient for them. The office hours for the St. Matthews location are 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday through Friday. Office hours on Saturdays are 8 a.m. to 2 p.m.

NORTON COMMONS HITS MILESTONE IN EFFORT TO BUILD NATION’S LARGEST 100 PERCENT GEOTHERMAL COMMUNITY

It’s full steam ahead (quite literally) for Norton Commons, the growing New Urbanist development in northeast Louisville, as the community charges forward with its mission to create one of the largest all geothermal communities in the nation. 200 homes in the community’s North Village are now heated and cooled using state-of-the-art technology, which harnesses energy produced beneath the earth’s surface.

Another 50 geothermal homes are currently under construction and 50 are in planning stages. When completed, Norton Commons’ North Village will have more than 1,500 homes, and will be one of the largest residential all-geothermal communities in the nation, alongside innovative developments like Whisper Valley in Austin, Texas and Pinewood Forest in Fayetteville, Georgia. Norton Commons completed the first geothermal home in December of 2015. Geothermal technology takes advantage of moderate ground temperatures to create an efficient system that lowers monthly utility bills while emitting less carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide or other greenhouse gases into the atmosphere. Geothermal heating and cooling eliminates the need for outdoor air conditioning units and reduces noise while allowing for more space for residents to enjoy the outdoors. A network of underground geothermal loops and efficiently-sized heat pump units inside each home provide homeowners with the most comfortable heating and cooling systems available on the market today. “Geothermal has been a huge hit. It offers energy savings and brings additional home comfort to residents,” said Norton Commons Managing Director Charles A. Osborn III. “It’s all part of our purposeful design, which includes 160 acres of planned green and civic spaces, miles of nature trails, a rose garden as well as our community vegetable garden and wildflower meadow.” The federal budget deal that passed last month brought good news for geothermal homeowners and homebuyers. The Residential Renewable Energy Tax Credit, which expired at the end of 2016, was reinstated and extended by the new deal after it was signed into law by the President. A tax credit means a dollar-for-dollar reduction of tax liability for units put into service after Jan. 1, 2017 through 2021. Norton Commons Elementary in the North Village, the first new-build school for Jefferson County Public Schools since 2008, incorporates eco-friendly geothermal heating and cooling as well as other eco-friendly features like solar-heated water, a reflective white roof and LED lights with motion sensors.

KNOP, OTTO CRAIG Otto Craig Knop, 60, commended his soul to his Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, on March 16, 2018. Otto was a true soldier for Christ and displayed this in his everyday life. He never met a stranger, and an encounter with Otto was not soon to be forgotten. Otto met the love of his life, Karen Jaggers, in 1983 and was married 1984. Their 33rd anniversary was celebrated in November 2017. He is survived by his wife, Karen, and his two daughters, Erika Minielly (Kenny) and Kristi Stewart (Andrew). Otto was the son of the late Otto F. Knop. He is also survived by his mother, Carolyn Hubbuch Knop, and seven siblings: Cara Boone (Richard), Brian Knop (Ellen), Kurt Knop (Crae), Donna Long (David), Caroline Knop (Michael), Tamara Demuth (Tommy) and Eric Knop (Marlene) and his many beloved nieces and nephews and other family members. Athletics were a constant throughout Otto’s life, and he was an accomplished athlete in several sports. He set several state swim records in his youth while swimming at Plantation Country Club, and teaching young children to swim was one of his passions. Otto was an all-state linebacker at Ballard High School and was the Kentucky state shot put champion his senior year. He continued his playing career at the University of Louisville, where his father was an All-American performer, and he had the chance to play college football with two of his brothers. Otto coached numerous sports teams at various Catholic schools, including ones that often included his daughters. In his professional life, he was the consummate salesman and was a co-owner of Innovative Labeling

Solutions of Cincinnati. Otto kept his priorities straight – his Catholic faith, his family, his country and having fun. Of all his achievements, Otto would be most proud of his success as a father and as a husband. He was a member of the Knights of Columbus at St. Margaret Mary, where he was a mainstay in the kitchen for church picnics and gatherings. His UofL tailgates were legendary, often serving as many as 300 people. He especially enjoyed frying fish that he had caught on family vacations. Otto could turn any event into a party. A dull father-daughter dance would instantly be transformed into a raucous event, with everyone dancing to Otto belting out his own special rendition of “Baba O’Riley” from The Who. Otto was stricken with cancer just six weeks ago and fought the brave fight. His final wish was to see his second daughter get married. He achieved that goal on Wednesday March 14, 2018, when his daughter Kristi was married on the Hosparus unit of Norton Healthcare Pavilion. He kept his promise to his daughter and was able to sing with the family one last time. Otto, who was frequently described as being larger than life, will continue to be just that as his spirit will live on in his family and friends forever. He lived life to the fullest and had no regrets. Thanks to Norton Hospital and Hosparus for their support during Otto’s journey. A mass of Christian Burial was held at 1 p.m. Wednesday at St. Margaret Mary Catholic Church, 7813 Shelbyville Road with burial following at Cave Hill Cemetery. Visitation was held Monday 4 to 8 p.m. and Tuesday 12 to 7 p.m. with a prayer service at 7 p.m. at Arch L. Heady & Son Westport Village, 7410 Westport Road. In lieu of flowers, expressions of sympathy are requested to Hosparus of Louisville or to The Catholic Education Foundation. Please leave a condolence for the family at www.archlheadywestport. com

WHAT SEPARATES US FROM THE OTHER REAL ESTATE AGENCIES IN LOUISVILLE? Our affiliation with Sotheby’s International Realty, the world’s premiere luxury real estate brand, is just one key factor. This allows us to feature your home globally on nytimes.com, wsj.com, jamesedition.com, sir.com and other international websites. We also actively market your home, both in local print publications and online. No other agency or individual agent in Louisville puts the effort that we do into getting your home sold. Other key factors include HDR photography, cinematic HD video property tours, aerial photography and video, as well as our innovative 3D walkthroughs. Call one of our full-time professional agents to learn more about the Lenihan Sotheby’s International Realty advantages: 502.899.2129.
