FROM THE

CAN YOU PICTURE YOURSELF MORE CONFIDENT, MORE ACTIVE, HEALTHIER? IF SO, WEIGHT-LOSS SURGERY COULD BE THE ANSWER. AND WE CAN HELP. Baptist Health invites you to attend a free seminar that will answer many of your questions about weight-loss surgery. We will help you learn about surgical options, see if you’re a good candidate for surgery and show how we’ll help throughout your weight-loss journey. For information or to register for a free seminar, visit BaptistHealth.com/WeightLoss.

With this issue, The Voice-Tribune officially says goodbye to Derby – but not until a last look at our favorite fashion moments of 2018 – and turns our attention from horses to houses. Each year at this time, we select five properties valued at $1,000,000+ that are currently on the market and represented by top real estate agents in our community. This week’s homes are gorgeous and full of grandeur. Next week, we’ll present two more properties, including the estate of a local icon who changed the world. Then, at the end of the month, we’ll host our annual invitation-only Prestigious Properties celebration in the home featured in the May 31 issue. We’re always thrilled to sponsor local events, particularly those of a philanthropic nature. That’s why, once again, we’ve partnered with Visually Impaired Preschool Services (VIPS) for this year’s Tennis Ball and Tournament. Writer Lisa Hornung details the importance of the nonprofit in our cover story and how donations affect young lives. Photographer Tim Girton will photograph the ball for The Voice-Tribune and our columnist Janice Carter Levitch has filled our table with a number of movers ‘n’ shakers, including Mo Mcknight Howe, Scott Howe, Jeaneen Barnhart, Erika Chavez-Graziano, Kristi Martin, David Fenley, Kelly Morgan Gerrard, Haley Harris and George Gatewood. If you attend, stop by and say hello. While the tournament is no longer signing up competitors, everyone is welcome to come cheer on the tennis teams.

hether your talents lie in oil painting or in stick-figure-sketching, everyone can appreciate a beautiful piece of visual art. Louisville’s own B. Deemer Gallery, owned by Brenda Deemer, can fulfill just such a need. Praising art has always been a passion for Deemer. “It’s been something that’s mattered B. Deemer Gallery to me for as long as I can remember,” she says. “It’s food for people’s spirits. Having beautiful welcomes artists and surroundings is nurturing. We go to great art enthusiasts alike extremes to make beautiful gardens and homes because Story by Graham Pilotte that’s just a part Photos by Kathryn Harrington of what makes us whole. It’s important to our lives.” B. Deemer Gallery takes a somewhat unusual approach to its rapport with creators. “These artists and I have very longterm relationships,” Deemer explains. “It’s not a one-show deal. A lot of galleries have shows for artists, but I keep their art here all the time and represent them B. DEEMER GALLERY for years.” In choosing her 2650 Frankfort Ave. artists, Deemer develops relationships that last a lifetime. “I bdeemer.com represent a group of artists who 502.896.6687 are very accomplished and do good, solid work and also keep in mind what my clients might desire to have in their homes,” she says. “That’s a balance of what people want and where I can help them find it.” The aforementioned artists cover an impressive range of work, from delicate A R T & E N T E R TA I N M E N T

landscapes to brightly colored abstracts. One such artist, Madison Cawein, recently was on exhibit for his ethereal paintings that capture the delicate movement of hummingbirds. “He’s also looking at focus, and he’s really big on the plays between movement and light,” explains young artist and gallery associate Jake Ford. “He’s a Louisville guy. He taught at St. Francis High School for a little while and then graduated from Yale. He’s a big name around here.” Cawein’s exhibit was featured in B. Deemer Gallery until April 30 and continues to be represented. Not all artists in the gallery are from Louisville, however. “Kit-Keung Kan was a physicist and a scientist, before he started doing paintings,” Ford says of a collection of stunningly detailed waterfalls. “I’m sure he still does research, but he also paints. He does these waterfall scenes; a few are more landscape-oriented. They’re all in traditional Chinese ink and pen on rice paper.” “There’s a good mix of artists from regional to international,” Ford affirms, noting that B. Deemer Gallery represents artists from as far away as Croatia and as close as Bardstown. Additionally, the gallery offers custom framing services, including more handcrafted moldings than most frame shops carry. B. Deemer has always resided in its original Crescent Hill location, a spot that is much beloved by the community. “It’s just got that historical, neighborhood feel with a lot of 0 5 . 1 7 . 2 0 1 8 V O I C E -T R I B U N E .

character and personality,” Gallery Associate Gretchen Andres explains. “The location is really nice because people can just stop in. We get a lot of people who walk in to see what art we have up right now. We get to chat with our neighbors and quite a few regular clients because it’s such a walkable neighborhood.” “Getting to be part of the community is pretty cool,” Ford says. “You feel like you’re contributing to something. It’s cool to see everything keep moving forward.” Deemer takes pride in her gallery, but also in her city. “I think Louisville is quite an oasis of art,” she says. “We have exceptional art in Actors Theatre, the wonderful orchestra 0 5 . 1 7 . 2 0 1 8 V O I C E -T R I B U N E .

and ballet – the city is rich in the arts scene.” Additionally, she sees a love of art in many Louisvillians. “I have some wonderful clients who keep coming back, clients to whom art is very important,” she says. “And there are wonderful artists here as well. Usually the artists I represent have a connection to Louisville in some way even if they’re not from here.” Everyone is welcome into Deemer’s gallery space. “I do pay attention to trying to make my store comfortable to come into, and not intimidating in any way,” Deemer says. “I hope that people come in and enjoy. I’ve had customers say that it’s very peaceful; that they were harried and frantic, but when they came in, they could take a deep breath.” Covering a wide range of work, subjects and focuses, Deemer’s artists are always creating something new – and Louisvillians are invited in to see it all. B. Deemer Gallery is a local treasure chest filled with beautiful art that’s meant to be enjoyed throughout the years. “People are hoping for continuation, and our artists keep updating and creating new twists to their work,” Deemer says. “It’s always exciting to see what they’re doing.” VT 11

A Dynamic Duo The Skin Group’s new practitioners talk melanoma

ay is Skin Cancer Awareness Month, and the first Monday of the month is known as Melanoma Awareness Day. According to the practitioners at the Skin Group – one of Louisville’s premier dermatology clinics – more than five million Americans annually are diagnosed with skin cancer and one million of those people are living with melanoma. To provide awareness and education about how preventable melanoma, basal cell and squamous cell cancers are, the Skin Group is offering free skin cancer screenings throughout the month of May. And to aid in the

efforts of their expanding practice, the group has added two new professionals to their roster – nurse practitioner Shannon England and medical aesthetician Janelle Willoughby. England received her undergraduate degree from the University of Kentucky and her nurse practitioner degree through Frontier School of Midwifery and Family Nursing, which is now Frontier Nursing University. She has worked in dermatology for six years, and while her focus is primarily on medical cases, she also handles cosmetics. “I’ve been committed to healthcare since 1999,” England says. “I do this to help others, 0 5 . 1 7 . 2 0 1 8 V O I C E -T R I B U N E .

We really work seamlessly together, and it happened organically that she would refer a lot of patients to me and I would reference medical concerns to her. We just have the (right) rapport with one another. — Janelle Willoughby

and I have a passion to make a difference in someone’s life. I also have a background in women’s healthcare, so I see all ages, from birth to geriatrics.” Willoughby has worked in the industry for more than 20 years and in aesthetic dermatology for nearly 10. She received a business and communications degree from Texas State University before studying aesthetics at the Christine Valmy School in New York, which was the country’s first learning institution for aesthetics. “It’s so wonderful and rewarding for me, even though it might be cosmetic,” says Willoughby, “I love the way (aesthetics) can instill confidence and help someone’s self-esteem, whether it’s a young acne patient or it’s a busy mom who doesn’t want to look exhausted.” The Skin Group takes both the medical and the cosmetic side of dermatology seriously. Since most people don’t want to wear sunscreen every day – though it’s crucial to apply and reapply it as often as possible – England and Willoughby work with patients to develop different formulas of sunscreen for every skin type. “No one’s saying you cannot be in the sun,” says Willoughby. “We’re not telling anyone they can’t have a tan. (The key) is to do it smart. Wear sunscreen and you can still develop color under the protection. The aging and burning rate is what will cause skin cancer.” “For young people under 30, the rate of developing melanoma is almost 50 percent higher than it was in 1980,” says England. “We can attribute it to a myriad of factors and it’s a startling statistic. One factor is tanning bed abuse. If you use a tanning bed before the age of 30, that increases your risk for melanoma approximately 80 percent.” While they’re both new to the Skin Group, England and Willoughby previously worked together for more than six years. As they begin meeting their new patients at the Skin Group’s three locations (the group recently opened a new office off of Old Henry Road), the two look forward to providing excellent care and furthering their bond as practitioners. “We really work seamlessly together,” says Willoughby, “and it happened organically that she would refer a lot of patients to me and I would reference medical concerns to her. We just have the (right) rapport with one another I think with our personalities and the way we approach things. We’re very excited to be a part of the group.” VT

uring the month of May in the weeks following the Kentucky Derby, The Voice-Tribune switches gears from horses to houses by selecting five properties valued at $1,000,000 plus that are currently on the market from the top real estate agents in the greater Louisville area. We begin this week with two homes, each showcasing their own glittery grandeur from a swimming pool with fountains to a double decker wrap-around porch. Next week, we’ll bring you two more prestigious properties — a local legend’s home and an exquisite 9,471 square foot estate in our May 24 issue. Then, in our May 31 issue, an exclusively featured home with a stunning view of Cherokee Park. The Voice will also host its annual Prestigious Properties event in the home featured in the May 31 issue, which is an upscale, invitation-only cocktail party for real estate, building and design professionals to view the property and network with other professionals in the industry.

WATERSTEP INSTALLS MORE SAFE WATER SYSTEMS IN PUERTO RICO, THANKS TO FUNDING FROM MIAMI DOLPHINS PLAYER KIKO ALONSO

A team with Louisville-based WaterStep has just returned from Puerto Rico, where they worked with Global Empowerment Mission and Kiko Alonso of the Miami Dolphins to provide aid to remote areas of Puerto Rico that have been without electricity and safe water since Hurricane Maria hit the island last fall. The organizations worked together to provide safe water, soup and solar lights to communities in the areas of Lares, Manatí, Río Grande, Yabucoa, Manaubo and Orocovis. During the trip, the WaterStep team installed four safe water systems and trained locals on how to use the water systems so that they are now prepared to have safe water in the event of another natural disaster in the future. The mission trip was coordinated by Third Wave Volunteers and funded by the Miami Dolphins Foundation and the Dolphins linebacker Kiko Alonso. Alonso’s father is Puerto Rican, and after the hurricanes hit last fall, Kiko started a You-

ARTS-BASED COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT INVESTMENT FOR JACKSON, KENTUCKY

National Endowment for the Arts (NEA) Chairman Jane Chu announced 60 awards totaling $4.1 million supporting projects across the nation through the NEA’s Our Town program. Creative Agents of Change Foundation, Inc. (a/k/a IDEAS xLab) is one of the recommended organizations for a grant of $150,000 to support Project HEAL Jackson in Breathitt County, Kentucky. “The variety and quality of these Our Town projects speaks to the wealth of creativity and diversity in our country,” said NEA Chairman Jane Chu. “Through the work of organizations such as IDEAS xLab in Jackson, Kentucky, NEA funding invests in local communities, helping people celebrate the arts wherever they are.”

“We are honored to be recommended for NEA funding to support Project HEAL Jackson, which will explore new ways for artists and cultural producers to partner with businesses, entrepreneurs and healthcare providers here in Jackson,

Over 100 of WaterStep’s disaster relief kits – which include water chlorination systems and bleach makers – have already been installed in Puerto Rico since October 2017. GE Appliance Park made the initial investment to get WaterStep on the ground where the organization worked with the National Puerto Rican Leadership Council Education Fund. The Fund received a $233,000 grant from United for Puerto Rico – a non-profit formed by the First Lady of Puerto Rico Beatriz Rosselló to aid those hit by Hurricane Irma and Hurricane María. Each water system also contains a portable bleach maker,

Health Department. “We believe arts and culture are an integral part of our community’s drive to better health outcomes, building on Jackson’s rich cultural history.” “This has been my family’s home for many generations. I am grateful for Breathitt County,” said IDEAS xLab co-founder Theo Edmonds. “We know too well that our people’s stories were stolen and our mountains robbed. Today, many of our people feel invisible. This grant will help our young people understand that they are worthy of everything! Together with our many partners, we will explore ways to use the opportunity provided by the NEA to lift up Breathitt County heritage as part of the solution for cultivating a more just, creative and healthy future for our people and to establish the care and celebration of one another as the highest priority of the arts in Kentucky.” Project HEAL Jackson is a program organized by IDEAS xLab in partnership with a number of Jackson-based community partners including Breathitt County Health Department, Academic

which creates medical-strength disinfectant that can be used for sanitizing clothing, cooking areas, and household surfaces. Last week while in Orocovis, the team from WaterStep celebrated a very significant milestone by installing the organization’s 1,000th M-100 chlorinator generator in the field. It was dedicated to Bill Parker, a longtime friend and ambassador of WaterStep who recently passed away. Having roamed the world with WaterStep and been on many water disaster missions, Bill was part of the WaterStep team who traveled to Puerto Rico last fall to provide the first distribution of disaster relief kits to the hurricane survivors. The devastation from Hurricane Maria caused massive damage to the island’s electricity systems and water infrastructure, which will take months, if not years, to repair. WaterStep’s safe water systems have been used in many countries, and they are lightweight, solar powered, and easy to install and operate. Bottled water is heavy and difficult to distribute and is no longer a viable long-term solution to the dire situation facing Puerto Rico. To donate to WaterStep’s disaster relief fund, visit waterstep.org.

Boosters, Juniper Health, Kentucky River Medical Center, City of Jackson elected officials, artist Rae Goodwin from the University of Kentucky School of Art & Visual Studies and special support will be provided by former Kentucky Poet Laureate George Ella Lyon. The project will engage many Jackson-based historians, artists, musicians, writers and cultural producers to increase public engagement in local health issues through arts and culture. Project HEAL Jackson will have a specific focus on reducing the negative impact of opioids and cancer. These two areas account for a large percentage of the total preventable health costs in Breathitt County. Jackson, Kentucky, now joins a network of other Project HEAL (Health. Equity. Art.

ouisville Collegiate School hosted the 57th running of its Kindergarten Derby on May 3. Families, friends and community members gathered to watch as the school’s five- and sixyear-old “jockeys” competed with their self-decorated hobby horses, clad in matching silks, of course. Kids bearing the name of actual Derby contenders raced around a makeshift track in hopes of winning the blanket of roses created by their fellow students.

VIPS Annual Tennis Ball and Tournament helps blind and visually impaired children Story by Lisa Hornung Photos by Andrea Hutchinson

VIPS TENNIS BALL 6:30 p.m. May 19 VIPS TENNIS TOURNAMENT 1 p.m. May 20 Ball and Tournament held at Louisville Boat Club 4200 River Road 888.636.8477 vips.org 34

his weekend, tennis players and fans will have a chance to serve a little extra money to a good cause at the seventh annual VIPS Tennis Ball and Tennis Tournament. The weekend-long event is the main fundraiser for Visually Impaired Preschool Services for Kentucky and Indiana. The Tennis Ball, which takes place Saturday evening at the Louisville Boat Club, is the main party, where guests dress in cocktail attire and enjoy an evening with dinner, dancing, drinks and a silent and live auction. On Saturday and Sunday, doubles teams will compete in two divisions, round-robin style, and the winners will be announced Sunday afternoon. There will also be an auction and cocktail party at the end of the tournament. The tournament was awarded “Special Tennis Event of the Year” by the United States Tennis Association (USTA) Southern in 2016. VIPS previously held other fundraisers in years past, but none endured like the tennis competition, said Dani Harper, VIPS development coordinator. There had been a tennis tournament for many years, but former board President Jay Hatcher, a tennis player and Louisville Boat Club member, took it to the next level. He invited his friends to play and obtained some corporate sponsorships to help make it the premier fundraiser for the organization. The ball was added as a way to allow families and players to cut loose while encouraging further donations to the organization. During the day, the players take the game seriously but still enjoy themselves. “It’s a really fun day,” Harper said. “Players come out and get lunch provided, cocktails, mimo-

sas and Bloody Marys.” Most of the funds raised by the event will pay teachers for the visually impaired who go to the homes of children who have been diagnosed with a visual impairment. VIPS sends these interventionists out as soon as possible after diagnosis to help the parents understand how to help their children meet all of their important milestones. “For a lot of our families, the first blind person they’ve ever met is their own child,” Harper said. “Their child is born blind, and they are at a loss for what to do.” Studies have shown that 85 percent of the foundation of early learning happens in the first five years of life, and 90 percent of what a child learns is through their vision, Harper said. Therefore, knowing how to help a blind or visually impaired child learn is critical to their ability to function. To illustrate how visually impaired kids learn, Executive Director Diane Nelson gave an example: “If you point to a tree, and say ‘tree,’ a child sees a tree, that it grows out of the ground, it has grass around it and it has roots. Big or small, leaves are on the branches and leaves fall off and change colors, or maybe it’s evergreen. Your kids get all of that about the world because you said one word to them. So when our parents say the word tree, it means nothing because there’s no perspective of that. We teach our parents how to take something in the environment and how to teach (their kids) to learn audibly, tactually and with smell, like in our sensory garden. That’s kind of the challenge for our parents.” VIPS also has a preschool in Louisville where visually impaired students can learn 0 5 . 1 7 . 2 0 1 8 V O I C E -T R I B U N E . C O M

in a safe and optimal environment for them. Harper said only about 40 children use the daily preschool, but about 650 kids throughout the two states use the visiting teachers. Many students graduate from the preschool and attend typical schools, but some go on to the Kentucky School for the Blind to receive a little more help. Maddie Horlander, age five, is about to graduate from VIPS and begin kindergarten at St. Francis of Assisi with her older sister, Ava, age seven. Her mom, Kristin, said Maddie has ocular motor apraxia, which means her eyes don’t move from side to side as quickly as the rest of ours do. Horlander noticed that her daughter was shaking her head in a figure-eight motion when Maddie was only a few months old. Doctors told her it was a habit or a self-soothing action, but Horlander wasn’t convinced. She eventually took Maddie to see a neurologist and then an opthamologist, who diagnosed her at age two. Soon after while looking for guidance, she called Maddie’s physical therapist, who immediately said, “Oh, VIPS!” Maddie began preschool at VIPS at age three, and now her mom is the assistant preschool director. “VIPS has been beyond a blessing for our family,” Horlander said. “They made Maddie feel at home, and they have helped Maddie become the strong, loving and independent little girl that she is today. VIPS gave her strength by teaching her how to scan her environment and how to get around by herself. They taught her how to be independent by advocating for herself and teaching her what her visual impairment is. She can now tell people ‘I have ocular motor apraxia,’ and she can vocalize what she needs help with in order to see better.” But the journey hasn’t been easy. They’ve recently encountered children – and even adults – who mocked Maddie for shaking her head. “It has been extremely hard for us, especially myself,” she said, “because we’ve always taught our kiddos åß... that’s not what you do. And no mom wants their child to be made fun of.” Horlander turned to VIPS for advice about what to do when Maddie is mocked. “We decided that if this happens again, we’re going to say, ‘Oh, we see that you’re shaking your head like Maddie. It’s because she has a vision impairment, and Maddie, can you please tell them what your visual impairment is?’ I mean, it’s a hard situation. You don’t want to sound mean about it, but you want them to know that she’s shaking her head for a reason. She’s not shaking her head because she wants to. This is something that’s not voluntary.” VIPS is a unique agency, one that other states and even countries around the world are looking to for guidance, Nelson said. Teachers have traveled from around the world to Louisville to see what VIPS does for the families of visually impaired kids. “In the industry, we’re well-known, but we’re not well-known in Louisville,” Nelson said. “But Louisville is such a philanthropic city that I don’t think we could have started anywhere else.” She said families have moved to Louisville from all over the country so that their children can receive the services they need.

In fact, the Indiana branch began because one mother was driving her child to the VIPS preschool daily from Bloomington, and eventually decided to open an office in Indiana. The Tennis Ball fundraiser will help those children receive much-needed aid, Nelson said. “We don’t need things,” Nelson said. “We need a teacher going to a home soon after a mother and father are told by their doctor that their child is blind, and help them work through the process of grief, to get through that, to the understanding that their child is going to be just fine. They are just going to learn in a different way.” Last year, VIPS teachers traveled more than 150,000 miles around Kentucky and Indiana. Nelson said they had a parent recently say, sadly, “I had a dream of my child playing golf with me.” “(To this) we were able to say, ‘Well come on out to our golf tournament and you can meet our blind golfer’,” Nelson said. “It’s not a broken dream; it’s just that your child will play golf in a different way. That’s what (Tennis Ball attendees and donors) are funding. They’re funding hope for families and understanding for families that their child has a different ability and not just a disability. That’s what most of the money goes for in the operation.” Nelson said the Hadley School for the Blind even has blind tennis players. The ball makes a sound, and the players learn to hit it. Tennis player Ellen Stubbs looks forward to the event this weekend. She became involved because her fiance, Steve Huey, is a supporter of VIPS, and she plays tennis in several tournaments. This is her fifth year playing in the VIPS tournament. “Every year, I try and get at least four teams to join the tournament,” Stubbs said. “I recruit ladies that I play USTA with, getting them to join the cause and donate for a great charity.” She and Huey go to the ball, too. 36

“We have a table and fill the table with people who will help, bid on items and donate. Then the following day, Sunday, I’ll actually try and get people to come out and support, and maybe even donate a little bit more.” The VIPS preschool is also open to some typically sighted children, which helps the visually impaired children learn to navigate the world around them in which they will be the minority and will have to advocate for themselves. “The sighted children learn empathy and that not all people are just like them,” Harper said. “I think it’s really elevated the program that we have here,” she continued, “because some of the kids are blind and need a cane to walk with and they read Braille, but some of our kids (have) multiple challenges, and there are children who might be in a wheelchair. So, a child who is typically sighted, they come in here and they learn that a friend in a wheelchair isn’t a different thing. When they encounter someone out in the real world who is in a wheelchair, it’s like, ‘Oh, my friend in school is also in a wheelchair.’ It’s teaching them that acceptance. It’s a very inclusive program we have here.” Kristin Horlander can’t say enough good things about what VIPS has done for her family. She will be speaking at the Tennis Ball and telling her family’s story. Though they are excited to see Maddie going to St. Francis next year, Horlander will still work at VIPS. Leaving her management job after 18 years was difficult, but she said it’s the best decision she ever made. “VIPS is always going to have a special place in our hearts,” she said. “I’m never going to be able to give them the thanks that they absolutely deserve because they have done so much for us. And not only my immediate family, but from the grandparents to my brothers and sisters. I mean, they just see how far Maddie has come.” VT

Despite some heavy damage from this February’s floods, the Louisville Boat Club will host the Tennis Ball and Tournament this weekend, and the club expects the facilities will be completely ready. Andrew Tkach, club manager, said fresh clay is going down on the courts, and the ball is going to take place on the second floor, which didn’t see any flood damage. “I’m proud of how our staff has responded to this,” Tkach said. “They’ve done a fantastic job.” The Louisville Boat Club has now hosted the event for seven years. “The boat club is an excellent host,” said Ellen Stubbs, who attends every year. “They always provide just a great atmosphere, and it’s a lot of fun, with beautiful courts and a great location.”

Then, we were off to drive by Raffles Hotel, which is completely closed for renovation and will open at the end of the year. After a brief visit to yet another temple (we have seen a lot of them on this trip) we were off to see the highlight of the day, the Singapore Botanic Gardens. The SBG, as it is known, is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. There is no way to tell about all of it, and in truth, we didn’t see it all because we were so stunned by the National Orchid Garden within the SBG. We arrived at just the right time. Not only do they have 3,000 different kinds of orchids on display, they were also having a competitive orchid display competition at the time; just like our state fair only better. Anyone who likes orchids would have assumed they had died and gone to heaven. After this sensory overload, we returned to the ship in time for Brad to search out a “chili crab.” That is a local delicacy featuring an enormous whole crab cooked in a spicy sauce and served with a shell cracker to get at the meat inside. Eaten more or less with your hands, you wind up with spicy sauce up to your elbows and all over your face. He loved it. Next week, we’ll be in Port Klang, Kuala Lumpur and some of the world’s tallest buildings. VT 1.

pats them ever so gently. At the camp, we also saw how small monkeys have been trained to climb coconut trees, sense which coconuts are ripe, spin them on their stem until they break and let the coconuts fall to the ground. In another area, there was a cooking demonstration where a typical Thai “side dish,” green papaya salad, was prepared and samples were served. Our version of the salad was the “three Thai chili” version. Before you knew it, you had a two-alarm fire going off in your mouth. A local rubber plantation was our next stop and the whole process was demonstrated in about ten minutes. Then, we were off to see Big Buddha at an enormous Buddha Temple where with your shoes removed you could climb up 100 steps to be up close and personal with Big Buddha. Having been there before, the busy souvenir area surrounding the “religious” part of the stop got our attention. The final stop was at a seaside restaurant overlooking a beautiful beach. We were served a delicious, family-style meal with coconut milk, chicken and lemongrass soup to start. Then it was a whole grilled fish with vegetables, sweet and sour chicken, curried vegetables and rice along with the ever-present dessert of watermelon, pineapple and honeydew. Husband Brad, who is a soup-freak, finished three bowls before any of the other offerings arrived. Then, it was back to the ship to test its capacity for delivering long, hot water showers. You won’t believe this, but the next day we sailed back through the Gulf of Thailand to Singapore. It was the end of a cruise segment for many of the passengers including a group of 160 Nissan employees from Mexico. Brad always greeted them with “Buenos Lunchos,” which they understood and thought was funny. While they and others disembarked, it was an opportunity to indulge in more of what Singapore had to offer. It is such a beautiful place, and the contrast of the traditional colonial architecture with the smart, contemporary architecture is striking. And the whole place is so clean! We took the cable car to Sentosa Island, much of which is an amusement park, earlier this year. How could I forget the street busker who offered an enormous banana yellow python to go around your neck for picture taking? Never again. The excursion titled “Spirit of Singapore” was selected. After first driving through the Colonial District, we stopped at Merlion Park for a photo opportunity. The Merlion, which is half lion and half fish, is the symbol of the city and functions as a fountain with water spraying from its mouth into the river.

Derby Legends Wine, Mansions, Bourbon and a First Lady By Janice Carter Levitch

Black Bourbon Society Makers Mark Brunch at La Chasse.

hen you receive a coveted invitation to the 2018 Kentucky Bluegrass Wine Auction and Derby Gala, you do everything humanly possible to clear your schedule and go. That’s exactly what happened when my dear friends Dale Fisher and Jon Carloftis invited little ole me to one of the biggest shindigs of the year held in Lexington at the Donamire Farm. The word spectacular can’t even begin to reach the pinnacle of what you experience from the moment you see (what seems like the yellow brick road going on for miles) the driveway entrance. As you meander along the winding drive, the rolling hills along with the perimetrically-placed horse fencing immediately capture your sense of nostalgia. You feel you’re on the way to Oz. Once inside the castle-sized tent, you are greeted by sommeliers and wine connoisseurs from all over the world. Surrounded by tasting tables, you are offered a sampling of some of the best wines that will ever land on your palate. From this moment on, you will never be the same. Grapes are a gift of nature after all; they just happen to grow up to be fantastical wines, and my strong sense of responsibility is to do our due diligence and enjoy as many as possible. Transformative and spiritual in a sense, there were moments throughout the evening, I do declare, I was moved to tears. And rightfully so, especially after learning about the

two ladies who are responsible for founding this event that benefits the Lexington Cancer Foundation. Let me introduce you to Mrs. Brenda Rice, president and founder, who had this to say: “It’s hard to believe 2018 was our 14th auction. In October of 2004, five women passionate about the fight against cancer started this foundation along with me around a dining room table. Since that time, we have grown in so many ways. I’m incredibly grateful for all of the continued dedicated support we receive from our board members, staff, donors, sponsors and volunteers within our community and beyond.” Cornelia “Neal” Vaughn, founding executive board member and vice president, has been involved since the inception of the foundation as well and has contributed countless hours to making this event a tremendous success. These two ladies are powerhouses indeed, and let’s not forget Kristi Martin, executive director. “Our dedicated relationships locally, nationally and internationally through this auction have helped us raise millions of dollars in support of our mission,” Martin told me. “It’s wonderful to see how our guests who attend the auction week fall in love with this beautiful place Kentuckians call home.” Like Dorothy, click your heels together and say, “There’s no place like home,”’ and boom, the entertainment for the evening brings down the house with their rendition of, wait for it, “My Old Kentucky Home” presented by our very own Linkin’ Bridge. 0 5 . 1 7 . 2 0 1 8 V O I C E -T R I B U N E .

Auction paddles flew up in the air as the auctioneer introduced each lot listed. The luxury experience (auction lot) Jon Carloftis Fine Gardens donated received the highest winning bid, bringing in $85,000. Impressive fundraising indeed. The next evening, as I wondered if anything could top the wine auction experience, something different actually hit the mark: the Derby Eve Gala at the Governor’s Mansion in Frankfort. Walking up the long stairs and through the gardens, you feel as if you’ve been magically transported to somewhere in France. Rightfully so; the exterior was modeled after the Petit Trianon, Queen Marie Antoinette’s villa on the grounds of the Palace of Versailles. I’ve been to Versailles, France and Versailles (Vur-sales), Kentucky, and adore both. I was stopped in the middle apex of the garden for a photo near the gorgeous mammoth-sized urn spilling over with a glorious abundance of colorful local flowers that made me swoon. As soon as I passed through the front door, First Lady Glenna Bevin greeted me with a smile and we chatted about one of her greatest interests, foster care. Soon, she was swept away to greet the hundreds of other guests who flowed through the door. The next morning while attending the 0 5 . 1 7 . 2 0 1 8 V O I C E -T R I B U N E . C O M

Black Bourbon Society (BBS) brunch at La Chasse, in walked Bill Samuels Jr., chairman emeritus of Maker’s Mark, who I believe is one of the happiest people I’ve ever met. Mr. Samuels was attending as a special guest of Samara Rivers, founder of BBS. “I created BBS when I realized that there was very little direct consumer marketing being spent on cultivating the African American consumers outside of the urban demographic,” she said. “Our audience is a mature, professional, conscious consumer with a sophisticated palate, an eagerness to collect and learn more about premium whiskies. The numbers are there. African Americans spend over $3.3 billion a year on wine, spirits and tobacco. It is my hope that there will be more inclusion to engage with this untapped demographic.” One last stop I made – and such an adorable one at that – was the Cinco de Mayo celebration held the Sunday after Derby. As I watched the young girls that were part of the performance swirl their colorful dresses around so effortlessly, they became much like a moving rainbow. Talented and confident, these young folks held strong to their cultural traditions, and I admired it so. The music was festive and everyone had such an enjoyable afternoon. Reflecting back on my own Derby experience this year, it very much resembled a rainbow within itself – constantly changing and moving around different cultural experiences. VT

Hardin Memorial Hospital (HMH) and Baptist Health recently announced they are entering into a $361.4 million asset purchase agreement through which Baptist Health would acquire HMH, subject to a vote of the HMH Board of Trustees and appropriate regulatory approvals.

The preliminaries were held at the Seneca Golf Course Driving Range. The contest started April 19 and ran through April 29. Each shot was only $1, with special prices available for more than one shot. Stock Yards Bank was the title sponsor of the event. Contributing sponsor was Louisville Parks & Recreation, joining media sponsors WLKY TV, 840WHAS and Insider Louisville.

HARDIN MEMORIAL HEALTH AND BAPTIST HEALTH ARE ENTERING INTO $361.4 MILLION ASSET PURCHASE AGREEMENT
