EDITOR’S NOTE

Letter Editor

FROM THE

Gunnar Deatherage is magical. That’s the most apt way I know how to describe the designer who is leaving Louisville for L.A. to make his mark in Hollywood as a costumer. There’s almost something otherworldly about the talented creative, who is simultaneously inspiring and calming to be around. I first began to get to know Gunnar years ago when I was featured on the cover of the now-shuttered NFocus magazine with my dog Zeke. As someone who tells others stories for a living, the turned tables were unnerving. I felt incredibly vulnerable and anxious about how I would be perceived and received by readers. I never should have wasted the energy, though, because in Gunnar’s hands, everyone is beautiful and he makes sure you know it, beginning with how you feel from within. We stayed in touch over the years and I hired him as my hair stylist on my wedding day (yes, Gunnar does it all). He did a fabulous job with my ’do, but what I recall the most is how he filled the space with his signature positivity and zenness. I needed that – and him. Most recently, I’ve had the opportunity to work with Gunnar at The Voice-Tribune on various fashion editorials where he served as the stylist. As one of those people who makes everyone around him better, Gunnar made it easy to hand him a project because you knew you could trust him to meet and exceed your expectations. And he did every single time. I am sad to see Gunnar move but extremely excited to join his throng of fans and friends as we watch his journey unfold. Good luck to you, my friend. Just don’t forget to throw a little Louisville love our way when you win your first Oscar. Your future successes are limitless. The Voice-Tribune team – at least the majority of us – collaborated on this week’s Tastes feature and shared our current go-to spots. Our picks are as varied as our personalities, which means there’s a suggestion that’s sure to please almost everyone. Do you have a go-to eatery that you want to share with your fellow readers?

Nonprofit News During the month of June, meadows MEADOWS IN BLOOM are in full bloom throughout The AT THE PARKLANDS Parklands, displaying a sea of native wildflowers for visitors to enjoy without leaving Jefferson County. Guests of each park are treated to a diverse mix of specially chosen plants that not only provide an attractive sight but also support Kentucky’s natural ecosystems. This summertime showcase is the culmination of three years of hard work and intentional planning under the Excellence in Urban Conservation Initiative, made possible thanks to a $3 million grant from the Leona M. & Harry B. Helmsley Charitable Trust. The grant, gifted to The Parklands in 2015, was used over the past three years to establish systemic landscape-scale conservation and restoration of native ecosystems, including native meadows, riparian forests and tree plantings throughout all four parks. The three-year initiative was completed in 2017 and resulted in tens of thousands of trees being planted, conservation of special areas — including protecting the endangered Kentucky Glade Cress plant native only to Jefferson County — and managing invasive species across nearly 4,000 acres of parkland. This work, to be carried on by The Parklands garden and natural areas teams, has created sustainable ecosystems to enhance the landscape and provide habitat for wildlife to thrive, including supporting the return of bird species such as the American bald eagle, bobwhite quail, Virginia Rail and sora. A portion of the grant also helped kick-off construction of the 15-acre Woodland Garden in Broad Run Park, which began in 2017. Continued support from the community will see the Woodland Garden through future phases to completion. Once open, the world-class garden experience will be part of the public park, making it a remarkable and accessible experience for all to enjoy. Blooms are brightest in the Broad Run Park section of The Parklands, located off Bardstown Road. The meadows will only be in bloom for a short time, so visitors are encouraged to stop by soon to enjoy this seasonal treat. For more information, please contact Anna Rosales-Crone at 502.815.0267 or acrone@21cparks.org.

SPOTLIGHT

The Show Must Go On By Laura Ross Photo by Alix Mattingly

he community watched in horror on June 13 as a three-alarm fire consumed the roof and some of the interior of the Kentucky Center for the Performing Arts (KCA). As clean up and damage assessment begins, the KCA is scrambling to move shows to other venues and reopen as soon as possible.

What happened? The cause of the fire is still under investigation, but officials believe it was sparked by contracting work on the roof. The fire was contained to the roof, which suffered extensive damage, but many areas of the KCA also had heavy smoke and water damage, including the lobbies, the Bomhard Theater, Whitney Hall, dressing rooms, offices and restrooms. The center’s mechanical and control rooms were also affected, as was the HVAC system and all duct work throughout the center. No one was injured.

When does the cleanup and renovation begin? Christian Adelberg, senior marketing manager of the KCA, notes that the KCA’s building is owned by the Commonwealth. The Kentucky Finance and Administration Cabinet is responsible for all remediation, restoration efforts and the schedule for completion. The cabinet is working in coordination with the City of Louisville; the KCA; the Tourism, Arts and Heritage Cabinet; and others to work through the process as quickly and efficiently as possible. Finance staff, contractors, insurance adjusters and others have been onsite since the fire occurred to make initial assessments. A major restoration project will be required. “It’s about safety first,” said Adelberg. “Until the inspectors can say with 100 percent certainty that the entire building is safe, we can’t open it. The Commonwealth wants the building open quickly, and everyone is work0 6 . 2 8 . 2 0 1 8 V O I C E -T R I B U N E . C O M

ing as hard and as fast as they can to make that happen.” Staff and contractors are working on removing damaged drywall so that more in-depth inspections can be done. The Finance Cabinet’s goal is to put together a tentative timeline for the future by June 29.

How can the community help? “The best recourse is to continue purchasing tickets to the shows you’re interested in,” said Adelberg. “The building may be closed right now, but the business of the center is ongoing. We are pressing forward.” Adelberg added that if a show needs to be moved, postponed or canceled, all ticket buyers will be notified quickly and refunds issued as needed. “Until we have a timeline in place, we don’t want to shut down the business,” he continued. “We are doing everything we can to make sure our schedule continues.” As a non-profit, the center relies on memberships and donations. “Membership at any level helps us sustain our long-term goals, mission and the work the center does outside of our halls,” Adelberg said. “Our statewide arts outreach in programs like the Kentucky Governor’s School for the Arts, the teacher academies and other efforts bring arts to the entire state of Kentucky.”

How are the staff members holding up? “Hundreds of businesses, friends and corporations have offered everything from asking, ‘Do you need water, do you need a place with air conditioning, do you need offsite offices, do you need a hug?’” said Adelberg. “This is a tough time, but the center has come through calamities before and bounced back better than ever.” Adelberg adds that their thank-you list is 0 6 . 2 8 . 2 0 1 8 V O I C E -T R I B U N E .

growing. “Louisville’s emergency services are incredible. From the moment they arrived on scene, in 100-plus degree heat, to remaining through the night and beyond was amazing. We are also thankful for the support from the Mayor’s Office and Metro Government; the Commonwealth; the Tourism, Arts and Heritage Cabinet; our incredible staff; and the community. We are deeply touched by the support we’ve seen.” He added, “The outpouring of support, in both kind words and actions, has been overwhelming. As Mayor Fischer once said, the KCA is the community’s living room. It’s a place where everyone can gather and enjoy a wonderful show, event or just come together to meet. These are the challenging times that show a community’s mettle and it’s very apparent that we are all stronger together. When disaster strikes, we pick ourselves up and get back to work.”

What comes next? Once initial assessments are complete, the Finance Cabinet and KCA will update the community on renovation plans. In the meantime, the show must go on. KCA staff members are working to move as many productions as possible to alternate venues. Some shows, such as the Louisville Orchestra’s “Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban” concert, may be rescheduled. The PNC Broadway in Louisville’s production of “Waitress” was canceled and will not be rescheduled.

eidi Fuller had no intention of opening a boutique. For 10 years, she climbed the corporate ladder working for Starbucks. But shortly after turning 37, she was diagnosed with uterine cancer and underwent a hysterectomy. That surgery led to a far scarier diagnosis after an eight-centimeter tumor was found in her ovary. One surgery turned into several months of chemotherapy and radiation and a drastic physical and emotional change. While weathering this storm, the idea of opening a wig store was planted. “I was devastated about losing my hair,” she says. “But my wig was everything to me, and it is for a lot of women.” Fuller launched the online version of Awakenings Boutique in July 2016 while continuing to work for Starbucks. Shortly thereafter, she realized her calling was no longer in the corporate realm but with women who were going through the same battle she had already faced. She opened the boutique’s storefront in May 2017 and hasn’t looked back. The atmosphere of Awakenings is intentionally curated to feel comfortable and pleas-

ant, a great departure from the sterile hospital environment so many of Fuller’s customers are forced into. Curtained off dressing rooms with vanities allow women to try on wigs in privacy while a table setting outside of the rooms allows loved ones to be a part of the experience without hovering. Inspirational quotes and phrases cover the walls in nearly every part of the store. Most importantly, Fuller’s enthusiastic yet understanding personality makes it impossible not to derive comfort from her presence. She even keeps her own head shaved in order to better relate to her customers. Buyers are set up for success because each wig comes with essential hair care products, and women are taught how to style and care for each piece. Doing demos, fittings and even shaving heads sets the Awakenings experience apart, which Fuller has strived to do since the very beginning. “Women are coming in here, they are broken and cancer has invaded their body,” she says. “Then, they’re gearing up for either surgery or chemo, or maybe they’ve already had surgery. Cancer has already taken so much from them – mentally, physically and even taking body parts – and then they have

to come in and look for a wig. Not a lot of women look forward to it.” Fuller does her best to make the experience as easy as possible for women who aren’t sure where to begin. Awakenings offers both synthetic and human hair wigs as well as hair pieces and toppers for those with thinning hair or alopecia. Human hair wigs require more work but offer the most natural look and feel. Fuller prefers synthetic wigs, however, and typically fits customers into synthetics first due to the minimal maintenance they require. “After people start treatment and they’re going through chemo and everything, they don’t want to do their hair,” she says. “With these, you just put it on and go and you can style them with your hands. You don’t have to curl it or braid it.” In addition to wigs, Awakenings sells other products to assist with recovery, including a skin care line specifically formulated for radiation burns; tea tree oil, which helps restore nails that chemo so often damages; and items for lymphedema – swelling of the lymph nodes – since the problem frequently persists even when someone has entered remission. Specialty clothing, gifts and accessories (and some surprisingly humorous greeting cards for the recently diagnosed) make up the rest of the store. In April, Fuller celebrated her two-year anniversary of being in remission. Following her surgery, she accepted that she would not be able to have children of her own and was fulfilled with her role as stepmother to her husband’s two children. and a There’s so much Ahalfyear after she cancer can’t take from finished treatment, however, us, and when you start thinking she and her husband temthat way, it’s a game changer. porarily took in a relative’s — Heidi Fuller baby girl so she wouldn’t have to enter the foster care system. After a few months, the couple ended up adopting the baby, Maya, who is now three years old. “She’s the light of my life,” she says. “I know for a fact that before cancer, I wouldn’t have taken in a baby. I wouldn’t have had the time; I

was traveling and always climbing that (corporate) ladder. God put a plan in place and it’s led me to here with a three-year-old daughter and my health and being this person to really help lead the fight against cancer and help every person that I possibly can.” She won’t settle for only helping those who walk in her store, though. Since opening last year, Fuller has donated thousands of dollars to local cancer institutions and donated more than 90 wigs to women who can’t afford them. Her next philanthropic effort is a photo shoot and campaign that she’s launching in the coming months. The photos taken will highlight 15 to 20 women who are currently going through or have recently completed treatment for cancer. “The mission is to showcase real women,” she says. “When women go online to search for wigs, they’re already broken and feeling the diagnosis. What I’ve found with customers is that it’s already traumatic and then they have to see manufacturers using professional models who are young and beautiful to showcase their wigs. That just adds to the anxiety of wearing a wig because you don’t think you can pull that off.” The purpose of Fuller’s campaign is to both support women fighting cancer and show the beauty that still exists even after a diagnosis. “These women are so beautiful without hair,” she says. “They come in here and 99 percent of the time, they’re crying and then by the time they leave, they’ve had fun. If we can kind of ease that anxiety prior to them picking out their new hair, it would help them a lot.” Awakenings may be a young institution but Fuller’s passion for the business, first-hand experience and love for others will most certainly result in future success in our community and beyond. “If you let it, cancer will take a lot from you,” she says. “But picking out your new hair or shaving your head is a win against it because cancer can’t take your wig. Cancer cannot touch your soul. There’s so much cancer can’t take from us, and when you start thinking that way, it’s a game changer. It can’t take laughter, it can’t take love, it can’t take your family or your memories. When you continue to live your life, continue to love and to fight, all of those are wins.” VT

Celebrating Fathers at Lululemon By Jeff Howard Photos by Jordan Wilson

Hannah Hollenbach, Jeff Howard and Heather Hollenbach.

ecently, I had the honor of teaching at an in-house event at the Lululemon store in Oxmoor Mall. This was an opportunity to sweat and get last-minute Father’s Day shopping taken care of, but it was also an opportunity to honor fathers. Lululemon celebrated men who live authentically, share their passions and live by their truth daily. The event’s theme was “Give what’s yours.” I really applaud Lululemon for acknowledging all versions of fathers and showing appreciation for them. I led 45 attendees through a workout, which left them sweating. Lululemon was generous enough to have giveaway prizes for trivia questions regarding Father’s Day and the history of the store. At the end of the workout, people had a great shopping experience. Also, every attendee received a can of the Louisville-based energy drink Phocus. And at the end of the day, everyone certainly “gave what was theirs.” VT

Anchors Aweigh! It’s Forecastle Season

By Baylee Pendleton

ince its founding in 2002, Forecastle Festival has grown from a Louisville gem to a national celebration. Every summer, folks from all over the country pour into Waterfront Park for three days of music, bourbon and nautical-themed fun. You’ll find everything you’d expect from a music festival (food trucks, promising new artists and bohemian fashion), but what sets Forecastle apart is its tri-fold mission: Music. Art. Activism. Installations and staging throughout the venue feature work by local and regional artists and usually contribute to a central sustainability theme. The festival’s founder, JK McKnight, started the Forecastle Foundation in 2010 as the activism wing of the event. Since its inception, the foundation has donated more than $400,000 to conservation projects around the world. And, we can’t forget the music. Over the years, Forecastle’s aquatic stages have been graced by the likes of The Avett Brothers, Sam Smith, Jack White and The Black Keys. This summer’s headliners include Chris Stapleton, Arcade Fire, Jason Isbell and the 400 Unit, Vance Joy and more. Stay fueled up for the festivities at Kentucky Landing, the food and beverage hotspot with local food trucks, breweries and craft vendors. The Bourbon Lodge has become a central attraction, with bourbon-themed food, activities and brews upon entry. Louisvillians can jump in early with the Forecastle Kick-Off Party at Against the Grain Brewery on July 12. Grab tickets for this year’s lineup at forecastlefest.com.

Members of The Voice-Tribune team share their must-try dining locales

here’s no shortage of restaurants to try in the Metro Louisville community, but everyone has their go-tos. This week, we highlight a few of our favorites.

ermantown’s Monnik offers more than your average brewery. They have an unparalleled selection of brews available to order in three sizes – sample, full pour and growler – but the food is what makes it a true staple. For the ultimate comfort feast, order one of their burgers with a side of curry fries and two sample-size beers. For a lighter meal, try the beer cheese appetizer or the Thuis salad with wine or a cocktail (I recommend the Debronze – their take on a classic mule). Every Tuesday, they host trivia starting at 7 p.m. Occasionally, they’ll have live musicians perform or hold special events along with their Germantown neighbors. As for the atmosphere, it can become fairly loud and boomy at peak times, but the disruption is minimal if you’re sitting at a table instead of the bar. Monnik’s intimate beer garden would make for a perfect first-date spot and it’s dog-friendly.

HEART & SOY 1216 Bardstown Road 502.452.6678 heartandsoy.net

ver the past 10 years Huong “CoCo” Tran has donated more than $35,000 to nonprofits in our community with money raised through her beloved Louisville restaurants: Egg Roll Machine, Café Mimosa, Zen Garden, Roots and my personal favorite, Heart & Soy. I’ve tried nearly everything on the all-vegetarian menu and you can’t go wrong. They have Asian street-food-style options from Korea, Thailand, Vietnam and China. Their tofu is slightly crispy on the outside, firm but not dry on the inside. Most of their dishes contain more fresh vegetables than I’ve seen in other local restaurants so the color of everything is very appealing. Plus, the price is right with most entrees around $9. They have a soy manufacturing machine in a glass room so you can watch them make it. You can also get bubble tea and vegan desserts that are already packaged to go. Favorite things: Jicama Rolls, Yellow Curry Soup and Singapore Noodles.

ining out has become a rarity for me now that my daughter is nearly 2 ½ years old. It’s easier to prepare meals at home for myriad reasons, including my desire not to infringe on my fellow diners’ experience. So, restaurants that are truly kid-friendly are appreciated. Hull & High Water welcomes patrons of all ages and the lively environment offers a reprieve when my toddler needs a bit of redirecting (read: no one seems to notice). I have a healthy little eater who loves the grilled fish tacos with a side of veggies ($7) from the Fish and Ships Menu for kids 12 and under. When it comes to my order, I love to start with the Bloody Mary Shrimp Gazpacho ($8) or a dozen raw oysters ($20) to share with my adult companions. Then, I usually mull over ordering one of the delicious Po’ Boys (prices vary), a selection of tacos ($5 each or three for $12) – try the Baja – or a Low Country Boil (shrimp, crab legs or a combo of both, all at market prices). But I almost always opt for the peel and eat shrimp (¼ pound, ½ pound and a pound for $8, $12 and $20) served with drawn butter. If you go, try the Smoked Tuna Dip ($10) or the Seafood Tower (market price). Even though the nearest body of water is the Ohio, the seafood tastes like it was freshly caught from the ocean moments before. Hull & High Water has indoor and outdoor seating, which includes a newly-finished rooftop bar.

DEL FRISCO’S 4107 Oechsli Ave. 502.897.7077 delfriscoslou.com

his is my favorite steak and seafood restaurant in Louisville. Del Frisco’s is not new or exciting, but the food is wonderful. I always get the filet mignon and often crab legs or a lobster tail. You can cut your steak with a butter knife or even a spoon, and their sides are just as good. I always get the green phunque casserole and the potatoes au gratin. The appetizers and soups are fantastic and you can’t go wrong with any of them. Lastly, the desserts are to die for and if you have room left, I would recommend the tiramisu or crème brûlée to finish off your feast. This nice, quiet, neighborhood eatery sits in a nondescript strip mall in St. Matthews and has fed Louisvillians for more than 30 years. I strongly encourage you to stop if you’ve never been or if it’s been a while. You will not regret it.

hik’n & Mi piqued my interest when it joined the Clifton neighborhood last year, setting up shop in what’s commonly thought of as Brownsboro Road’s restaurant graveyard. The one-of-a-kind fusion menu has challenged the street’s history, however, focusing on Asian-inspired fried chicken and ramen dishes. The menu’s comfort food offerings and rustic interior are the perfect destination for a casual Friday night. If you’re looking for shareable options, try the starters and sides (like the kimchi mac and cheese!), but the real attraction is the ramen. Choose from a rotating list of generously-sized bowls, including garlic miso, chicken and vegetarian. If you’re in the mood for a sandwich, try the fried chicken sandwich, which comes topped with kimchi slaw. The kid-friendly atmosphere extends onto the patio, which we love for summer nights. The spot also has a thriving happy hour from 4 to 6 p.m., with bites like the pork belly steam bun, street corn and bonito fries served for pocket change, along with an extensive sake list.

love anything to do with Southern Louisiana culture, particularly the culinary culture. So I was very excited for the opening of Couvillion (pronounced coo-vee-ohn) in Germantown, located in the historic building behind the Germantown Mill Lofts. I am always hopeful when a new Cajun- or Creole-inspired restaurant opens, but I am usually disappointed by a bland and weak attempt. That’s not the case here. Couvillion’s Cajun-inspired Southern menu is rich in flavor and deeply satisfying. The charming atmosphere complements the vivacious food with its pleasant open dining area, great patio and inviting bar. Friendly staff and tasty cocktails also bring smiles. I recommend the Catfish Couvillion, the Red Beans and Rice and the Duck Creole entrees.

Home S Away from Home HOMES

By Janice Carter Levitch Photos by Kathryn Harrington

earching for solitude and a reprise from a busy professional life, Dr. Britt Brockman found the perfect solution: a house overlooking Nolin Lake, one of the most beautiful bodies of water in Kentucky. “I’m from Hodgenville in Central Kentucky,” Brockman said. “I grew up going to the lakes, skiing and doing all those fun things. Although my family was never positioned to have a home on a lake or large ski boats, my friends who had these things always invited us to share the weekends together. “Fast forward and now I’m an opthamologist with numerous satellite clinics throughout Kentucky and Indiana,” he continued. “Many of them are in Central Kentucky, so it turns out that the majority of my travels for work are orbiting around this area. Having the lake house saves me travel time because I live in Louisville, and it also offers me a way to decompress during a busy work week.” Positioned on a quiet gravel road as close to the waters edge as the Corps of Engineers will allow, the home is comprised of timber the color of tobacco and caramel. The hues blended together reminds you of a rare bourbon. This special timber was actually gathered from the property the house is built on. Brockman stumbled upon the site by chance when a friend who lives next door invited him to visit his cabin. “It hit me about five years ago,” he recalls. “My family loves the lake experience, and I thought it would make sense to build a cabin on the lake where we could gather and spend quality time together.” Upon entering the front door, you are greeted by a mammoth-sized stone fireplace

that seems to anchor the expansive open-floor plan, giving the space a sense of rustic nuance and a touch of luxury. Above the mantel is a taxidermied bobcat that Brockman received from a friend (with reassurance that it was prepared after the animal died of natural causes). The piece serves as a nod to Brockman’s love for the University of Kentucky, where he serves as chairman of the Board of Trustees. Throughout the open floor plan, there are sentimental family quilts and bedcovers sprinkled about that were designed and constructed by his mother, great-grandmother and greatgreat-grandmother. The master bedroom is tranquil and has a sitting area for reading at one end. Quiet with a meditative mood, the master bath has a window positioned over the tub that Brockman discovered at a local art fair. It provides privacy while allowing the sunlight to flow through the colorful, wildflower-shaped glass. The kitchen is of Provençal design and reminds Brockman of the time he spent in the region while traveling throughout Europe. The stone floor is also reminiscent of European flair yet meets the lake house décor with ease. A petite wine bar nearby is stocked with notable vintages. Outside of the dining area is an open balcony lined with rocking chairs that overlooks the lake. A daunting 102 stairs lead you down to the dock where the boat is anchored. Taking the boat out for fishing, skiing or just relaxing is something the entire family enjoys. Brockman and his brood look forward to spending time at the lake house this summer and creating lifelong memories with one another. VT 0 6 . 2 8 . 2 0 1 8 V O I C E -T R I B U N E . C O M

A LIMITLESS Designer Gunnar Deatherage remembers his time in Louisville and looks forward to the adventures ahead By Remy Sisk Photos by Andrea Hutchinson

unnar Deatherage. The name alone invokes the image of the very person it stands for: modern, cutting edge, ceaselessly creative and eminently imaginative. For the last seven years, the costume and fashion designer and entrepreneur has called Louisville home. Now, after multiple stints on the television series “Project Runway” as well as a host of other endeavors in Louisville – including having his own storefront to sell his original clothing – Deatherage is packing up and moving to Los Angeles. But it’s not because he doesn’t love Louisville; rather, he is emphatically grateful for the opportunities he’s enjoyed here while also relishing a future where his limitless potential is fully unleashed. Deatherage is originally from Madison, Indiana, but moved to Louisville in 2011. As a creative director on the sets of photo shoots, he began to develop an interest in fashion around the time he moved to Louisville. “I think I started to get interested in fashion when I was interested in photo shoots,” he recounts. “I started to make clothing to go in the photo shoots, and that was sort of my segue into making clothing – just so that we had stuff to shoot.” As soon as he recognized this interest in fashion, he decided to make the absolute most out of it as soon as he could; he applied to “Project Runway” and was accepted. There were 30,000 applicants his first year on the show, and although the then 21-year-old Deatherage was new to the industry, he felt

like this was how we wanted to launch his career. “I think the millennial in me wanted the attention if I’m being honest,” he laughs. Though he didn’t win, he did realize that fashion was where he wanted to be. “It’s kind of like my consolation prize was a love for sewing rather than the money,” he says. Deatherage went back on the show the next season and thus began to establish extraordinarily strong roots locally and beyond. When he returned home again at only 22, he suddenly realized that he had achieved something many spend years working toward. Consequently, he had to discern what his next goals would be. “It felt like this weird pinnacle that would never happen and then it did,” he remembers, “so then it sort of became, ‘Well, what do I want to do now?’” As he had a history of working on photo shoots and doing creative direction, The Voice-Tribune’s publisher Laura Snyder, who was editor in chief of NFocus magazine at the time, brought Deatherage on as a regular creative director, which he credits with being extremely formative to his career going forward. “I knew how to sew and make clothing and I knew getting on the show I could make clothing, but as far as fashion and developing it for people, that was kind of the first time

that I really stepped into that,” he says of his work with the now-shuttered publication. Deatherage would go on to work for NFocus for almost four years. During that time, he also decided to go back to the world of reality TV by appearing on season four of “Project Runway All Stars.” “I think I went back on because I felt like I didn’t really get to be myself on my original season,” he explains. “I felt like I was portrayed very much like this total bitch – no other way around it. And I felt like that was me overcompensating for the fact that I wasn’t comfortable sewing at 21 yet. So this was almost four years later when I did ‘All Stars,’ and I just felt like it was the right time to go back and be myself.” Upon returning home, NFocus soon shut its doors, but Deatherage began working as a creative director for other publications, including The Voice-Tribune, Churchill Downs Magazine and Modern Louisville. Simultaneously, he expanded his own fashion collections, getting to the point of having his own storefront in Old Louisville. His name became more and more well-known, if not from the media or his storefront then from the iconic looks of his that people were wearing to the Speed Ball and during Kentucky Derby week. Though his creativity and imagination are, of course, inherent in who he is, Deatherage does credit Louisville with helping him define how he wanted to express his ideas. “I like to tell everyone I grew up here even though I didn’t, but I feel like as a human, I evolved very fast here,” he says. “The me then would not even recognize the me now. Coming to a city like Louisville, it is small, but at the same time it’s so artsy and very liberal. It’s this weird conglomerate of people who allow you to develop yourself. I think it just allowed me to try new things and push boundaries.”

Now, Deatherage is ready to push the next boundary: He is moving to Los Angeles to work in costuming. The film production company Stargazer Films recently came to town and hired Deatherage as the costume designer on two local films and then a larger one shot in New York. For that project, Deatherage was actually up against April Napier – who costumed last year’s “Lady Bird” – for the job and got it, which he took as a sign that he was on the right path. “That to me is life telling me that this is what I’m supposed to be doing,” he affirms. “Life works for me sometimes. I don’t know how else to describe it. I’m super grateful. Doors tend to open – I don’t know why.” As he looks ahead at a future in costuming, he recognizes that it will mean taking a

0 6 . 2 8 . 2 0 1 8 V O I C E -T R I B U N E . C O M

F E AT U R E

step away from creating his own fashion lines, which is a truth he is happy to embrace at this stage of his life. Whereas fashion dies at the end of every season, as he puts it, costumes can live on, and moreover, carry on a story. Deatherage has always looked at his own collections as having a central story, so he is eager to lean into that aspect of the work. From the first season of “Project Runway” to styling for magazines and operating a storefront, it has all led here, where Deatherage is exploring a new, unparalleled passion. “Something like ‘A Series of Unfortunate Events’ on Netflix, which is so costume-driven and the costumes are a very vital and intricate part of the story and the character – that’s where I need to be,” he emphasizes. “Or on a ‘Downton Abbey’ (type series). I want to love the costuming so much that I’m devastated when the show ends. That’s all I want. It’s not about money for me. I want to be so enveloped in something that I’m just devastated when it’s over. And I can only hope that I continue to get jobs like that.”

If this is subdued, I just can’t imagine what me without limits is going to feel like. — Gunnar Deatherage

Without question, Deatherage is moving beyond Louisville and running toward the chance to delve deeply into the world of costuming and unfetter his wildest visions. He is proud to leave Louisville a better place than he found it with new designers popping up across the city blazing their own trails and elevating Louisville to a new position on the fashion and design landscape. His journey is forward, and soon that limitless potential will be illustriously liberated. “In all honesty, I’m excited to see not who I become but what I look like as I evolve there because I think I’m subdued here,” he smiles. “And if this is subdued, I just can’t imagine what me without limits is going to feel like.” VT

Navigating T Caregiving Local resources for those with aging parents

he growth of the U.S. population aged 65 and older has skyrocketed since 2016 when the U.S. surpassed 50 million seniors for the first time in United States history. As the post-World War II baby boomers begin reaching senior age combined with an increasing life expectancy thanks to modern medicine, better overall living conditions and scientific developments, the current and growing size of senior citizens in the U.S. makes up more than the population of 25 states combined. In other terms, statistics have shown that if all U.S. seniors held hands, their chain would wrap around the whole world twice. If the senior citizen population continues to rise as it is expected to as the aforementioned factors also improve, the current 50-million-plus population is expected to rise to 83 million by 2050. In the city of Louisville, senior citizens make up 13 percent of the population with 31 percent of those seniors living alone with an average Social Security income of $16,208 a year. This means that as the senior citizen population size is rising, so is the demand for in-home senior aid and assisted living communities. Finding the right fit for your elderly loved one can be an overwhelming challenge. Fortunately, the Louisville community has an array of care options to choose from. Fear not because getting older does not have to be a burden; it too can be an enjoyable phase of life.

How can you alleviate your parent’s fears and make sure that your mom or dad has the care and support he or she needs?

My Parent Was Just Diagnosed with Dementia. Now What? By Kristin Davenport

hen your older parent is diagnosed with Alzheimer’s, what steps should you take? Suddenly, you find yourself thrust into the role of dementia caregiver, which has to be scary for you. And it’s probably equally frightening for your loved one to face the prospect of developing what unfortunately remains a difficult-to-treat, incurable disease. How can you alleviate your parent’s fears and make sure that your mom or dad has the care and support he or she needs? First, it’s important for you both to realize that you’re not alone. According to the Alzheimer’s Association, a third of American seniors will be diagnosed with dementia at some point. That means there are millions of older people like your parent — many right here in Louisville — and even more millions of caregivers like you. Here are some good first steps our memory care team recommends your family take after an Alzheimer’s or dementia diagnosis is made. Work with your parent to develop a care continuity plan No matter how much care you may be able to provide at home at first, it’s highly likely that your mom or dad’s needs will at some point exceed your ability to safely provide for

0 6 . 2 8 . 2 0 1 8 V O I C E -T R I B U N E . C O M

him or her. At that point, he or she will need residential memory care. It’s best to know what provider your parent prefers for his or her care and to have a transition plan in place, if you can, before that move becomes necessary. You and your parent should tour different memory care centers in your area and decide — together — which one best meets your parent’s preferences. Make sure that your mom or dad has legally designated powers-of-attorney As Alzheimer’s and dementia progress, they often rob someone of the ability to communicate his or her medical and financial wishes. If your parent is still in the early stages of dementia, he or she should ask an attorney to draw up documents that designate someone (for example, his or her spouse, you, or someone else in the family) to make such decisions on his or her behalf when such a time comes. Remember, too, that financial power-of-attorney and medical power-of-attorney are separate roles. One person could conceivably serve as both, but the documentation needs to be there to make it so; it’s a lot easier (and cheaper) to iron these details out on the front end, rather than going through a court process later. Your parent should also update his or her financial will and compose a living will,

which is written documentation of his or her care preferences (what lifesaving measures he or she would accept, what facilities he or she will accept care from, etc.). Consider joining a dementia support group There are many groups here in Louisville — and online — that can help your loved one cope with the negative feelings that are often associated with dementia, and help you with bearing the burden of care. Episcopal Church Home’s caregiver support group meets every third Wednesday at 7:30 p.m. It’s free and open to any dementia caregiver in the community, even if their loved ones are not receiving care here. If that’s not convenient for you, the Alzheimer’s Association of Greater Kentucky and Southern Indiana publishes a list of other dementia and dementia caregiving support groups in the region and ALZConnected is another online option for you and your loved one. Have questions? We’re here to help! Download our free Making Sense of Dementia guidebook at www.episcopalchurchhome.org In it, our Episcopal Retirement Services and Episcopal Church Home memory care experts discuss all the ins and outs of dementia and dementia caregiving.

Some of the reasons include the changes in American society: 45 percent of folks over 65 are divorced, separated, or widowed; 42 percent have some type of disability; and, people who reach 65 are living much longer than previous generations. A recent study in England found that one-fifth of adults over 75 had contact with another person less than once a week, and one in ten said less than once a month. In 2009, a Pew Research report found that one in six Americans described their lives as lonely. Fear of things like driving can also contribute to isolation and loneliness. There are also health issues. Loneliness harms your brain. In a Dutch study of dementia-free people, it was found that at the end of three years, twice as many developed dementia who had previously described their lives as lonely, compared with the others who

0 6 . 2 8 . 2 0 1 8 V O I C E -T R I B U N E . C O M

were social. Loneliness causes heart trouble. A Swedish study found that lonely people had 2.5 times more coronary artery disease. Finally, a study by the University of California found that seniors who said they were happy and had a good social life experienced half the rate of health problems as the ones who were isolated. So, what’s a guy (or gal) to do? Stop “hibernating” and start living! • Become more social media savvy! A survey of seniors in October 2017 revealed that 77 percent use email to stay in touch with friends and family and 53 percent use social media sites like Facebook. Facebook offers plenty of opportunities to participate in “watercooler” discussions of current goings-on, such as movies. Don’t you feel more motivated to get out and see a movie if your friends are talking about it? • Have transportation options. If your car has become an albatross, maybe it’s time to take advantage of the transportation available

to residents at retirement communities like The Forum. You’ll get door-to-door service, and think of how much you’ll save on car expenses! • Sign up for a class or activity. Most retirement communities like The Forum offer educational opportunities and programs. This is an outstanding way to learn new things and meet new friends. Want to bowl but afraid you can’t lift the ball? No problem. Try our video bowling! • Finally, if you are living alone, you could be loving life in our little village! The AARP article says that seniors who move into retirement communities where conversation and social activities are easy to access most often say they wish they had moved sooner! Ask most any Forum resident and you will hear the same thing. Do it today!

Right-sizing By Terri Bass

Guiding my clients through the process of deciding whether to sell their current home or not involves determining why they are considering selling.

ne of the favorite roles I am asked to serve as a real estate professional, is that of an advisor to homeowners considering “downsizing,” or as I refer to it, “rightsizing.” I find rightsizing to be a better description of what my clients want to accomplish. They may end up with more or less square footage, but if we take our time to determine what their ultimate goal is, they will be living in a home that is just “right” for them. Many of my clients wanting to right-size belong to the baby boomer generation; the fastest growing segment of the population that is 65-74 years old and leads the country in new household formation. Today’s boomers are more growth-minded than seniors were a generation ago. They are healthier, more active and expect to live many more years. Most also want to enjoy their home for the rest of their lives and are planning for their next home to accommodate them well now and throughout their future. Boomers will have a big impact on real estate sales for the next two decades. Guiding my clients through the process of deciding whether to sell their current home or not involves determining why they are considering selling and if what they want to accomplish is obtainable. I find

that most seniors, have one of the following replies when I ask why they are considering a change: 1. They want less home and property to maintain, to simplify their lives so they can travel more. They’re looking for a home that is easy to “lock and leave.” 2. They want to find or build a home that is more conducive to “aging in place,” offering first floor living with little to no maintenance. Sometimes, there is a health issue for one or both, making the transition more of an immediate need. 3. They plan to pull out the equity they have in their current home, invest it and purchase a less expensive home. While some clients want to reallocate their housing dollars, ending up with a less expensive home in Louisville and a second home in another state or country. 4. They want to sell their home to move closer to their children, grandchildren or other family members. All of these scenarios require different analysis and planning, because everyone’s situation is different, but for most, my experience and expertise allows me to successfully guide them through the process and in the end, attain their goal of making that “just right” transition.

If I realize that a client’s goals are not realistic, we discuss other options they may want to explore. It may be that making a few changes in their current home would give them the ability to “age in place” and not have to move. If we determine they can make these changes and not overbuild for their neighborhood, that may be the best option. Not all “baby boomers” end up downsizing. I’ve assisted several couples in the sale of their homes with the plan to downsize. Ultimately, they’ve ended up either building or purchasing a home similar in size to the home they sold, but with the floor plan that better accommodates their lifestyle. Most have first floor masters or elevators and all have had larger kitchens that open to a family room, since that’s where we all spend most of our time. Many also feature outdoor kitchens and living areas as well. Basically, they just reallocate the square footage to suit a more casual way of living and entertaining. Making the right move at the right time; whether it is because you have decided to buy that beach house you’ve always dreamed of, it’s part of your financial plan or you are needing a home that is easier to maintain, you’ll want carefully consider all your options. Your home is the social fabric you enter and becomes the hub of all other aspects of your life.

Butterflies Backstory By Carla Sue Broecker

ty-minded people in Louisville: Libby Parkinson. She never stops thinking about what might be good for needy folks and how she might adopt a successful idea from another community for our own. She never says no or it can’t be done when it comes to charities she cares about. And her friends can rarely say no to her when she has her recruiting hat on. The previously-mentioned stroke of luck came when Libby returned home from a West Coast jaunt so excited she almost couldn’t sit still. She took an idea to Heuser’s Butterfly Society, a group of volunteers founded by the late Sug Schusterman. The school’s symbol is a butterfly because the cochlea of the inner ear looks like a butterfly. These volunteers provide all sorts of services to enrich the Heuser students’ educational and social experience. The idea was simple: Give a luncheon at a lovely hotel with 25 tables for guests. Get each table sponsored and decorated with a favorite movie theme. Have the tables judged and select the top three designs. Offer a small live auction with some interesting, high-end items. And give the activity a unique name. Libby and her committee suggested the title “Butterflies in Motion” to the sponsoring organization. It worked and has been presented for the past three years, with each year’s revenue surpassing the previous year. Expenses to stage the event total less than 10 percent of the profits. Last year, in about two hours, approximately $145,000 was raised for the school! This year, Libby and her committee – which includes Kassi Cawood, Deborah Greenwald, Kelly Hannah Carroll, Jeannie Livesay, Will Buschman, Suzanne Moeller and Lindy Street – are off and running on Butterflies in Motion No. 4 to be presented at the Brown Hotel’s iconic Crystal Ballroom on Oct. 18. To kick things off for this year, Karen and Paul Casi held a splendid cocktail party at the Marcus Lindsey office and entertainment facility on East Market Street to recruit table sponsors. It was a success and several tables were booked. Anyone interested in sponsoring a table at the event – which was named “Best Daytime Event” two years in a row – should contact Libby at 502.893.3927 before they are all gone. VT

or the past 10 years, members of the board of directors of Heuser Hearing & Language Academy have struggled to find successful fundraising activities that would help offset the costs of supporting the mission of the academy. Previously, there were successful antique shows that brought in the support of large crowds in several downtown arenas. These events were socially successful and offered an opportunity to put the school’s story before the public. When it was first established, the school was known as the Louisville Deaf Oral School. It was founded by the Woman’s Club of Louisville with the help of the Kiwanis Club of Louisville. Both organizations directed much of their fundraising efforts to support the school. The fundamental reason for the ongoing financial shortfall was that no child is ever turned down for services if they have a need. Jefferson County Public Schools (JCPS) refers all of its hearing-impaired children to Heuser. The way that Heuser is compensated for educating these youngsters is that in lieu of cash, JCPS provides teachers and teaching assistants for every six children that are referred. Of course, what isn’t covered is the cost of running the building and providing all sorts of ancillary services necessary to make the Heuser curriculum and experience what it is: an institution that is nationally recognized as one of the best in the country. A few years ago, previous traditional resources found it harder than ever to provide the needed funds. The once successful novel activities like antique shows and golf tournaments struggled to succeed. Fortunately, a stroke of luck came about at just at the right time. One of the Heuser board members just happened to have children and grandchildren living on the West Coast. The grandparent had an abundance of airline mileage points that she used frequently to go west and catch up with that part of their tribe. The grandparent I am speaking of is one of the most delightful, hardworking, communi-

Evocative & Effervescent Adventures Authors, preservations and bubbles By Janice Carter Levitch

Botherum guesthouse.

ell versed in the art of interior design and architecture, Ray Booth recently sat down with me to chat about his illustrious career and the release of his book, “Evocative Interiors.” The book signing was held at Botherum in Lexington. The book is published by Rizzoli, a well-known publishing house in New York. “Home is more than a beautiful place,” he said. “It means so much more and should be something that is more emotionally evocative when you walk in. We really want people to be taken with our spaces and that it’s really felt rather than just understood as visual beauty.” As a partner at the prestigious McALPINE studios, he divides his time between New York and Nashville (and hopefully Louisville very soon). “At a young age, I learned to appreciate homes as more than just beauty,” he reflected. “I knew we were looking at emotional vessels. So when we started researching titles, (we realized) to evoke is something that a home does. As a book, the meaning is a reflection of the people who live in it.” The evening benefited the Blue Grass Trust for Historic Preservation and had drawn many supporters from different areas of Kentucky. Sheila Omer Ferrell is the executive director and was brimming with pride over the success of the evening. “Tonight is a wonderful celebration of Ray Booth’s new book, and we are so excited to partner with Jon Carloftis Fine Gardens to bring Ray to town,” Ferrell said.

Booth will also be the keynote speaker at the Bluegrass Trust Antique and Garden Show in 2019. “I think you are known by the company you keep,” she continued. “(It’s perfect) to have Ray Booth along with the owners of Botherum, John Carloftis and Dale Fisher, show us through example that old buildings should be lived in. All the book sales for this evening will benefit the Blue Grass Trust and for that we are grateful.” On an effervescent note, let it be known that if anyone reports me gone missing, look no further than The Champagnery. This spot recently opened to the delight of our bubbly community, including Mayor Fischer, who was one of the many guests attending and ceremonially helped with the ribbon cutting. If you haven’t figured it out by now, this establishment serves champagne and is situated on what I believe resembles a street corner in Champagne, France. As soon as you step into this lively atmosphere in the Clifton neighborhood, you get a sense of home. Well, at least I do. Comfortable seating and wellplaced original art is on display in gallery fashion, which helps you to settle in for good times when you just need a place to land with friends. Whether you’re a champagne aficionado or newbie, there is a flute and comfortable chair waiting for you to enjoy. Don’t let the cacaphony of popping noises startle you; it’s just the sound of good times beginning as each bottle is opened and delicately poured into the perfect glass.

STAGEONE FAMILY THEATRE NAMES IDRIS GOODWIN AS NEW PRODUCING ARTISTIC DIRECTOR StageOne Family Theatre has announced Idris Goodwin as its new producing artistic director. Goodwin will succeed current producing artistic director Peter Holloway, who is stepping down after 11 years with the theater. Goodwin will join StageOne this summer at the start of the award-winning theatre’s 72nd season. The appointment was announced by Holloway and Michael Merrick, president of the Board of Directors.

CHRISTINE MILLER HAS BEEN NOMINATED AND ACCEPTED AS 2018 AIOFLA’S 10 BEST IN KENTUCKY FOR CLIENT SATISFACTION The American Institute of Family Law Attorneys (AIOFLA) has recognized the exceptional performance of Kentucky’s family law attorney Christine Miller as one of the 2018 10 Best Family Law Attorney for Client Satisfaction.

Idris Goodwin.

Goodwin brings more than 16 years of experience in theater and the performing arts to StageOne, where he joins a long history of prestigious leaders who have led StageOne Family Theatre from its beginnings as the Louisville Children’s Theatre to its current status as one of the nation’s leading professional theaters for young audiences. “In these times, it’s more important than ever to remember that theater teaches empathy, fires imaginations and inspires young people,” said Holloway. “StageOne is the Louisville arts organization that is most connected to education and young people, and to be led into the future by an artist and educator like Idris is tremendous for our community.”

The American Institute of Family Law Attorneys is a third-party attorney rating organization that publishes an annual list of the top 10 family law attorneys in each state. Attorneys who are selected to the “10 Best” list must pass AIOFLA’s rigorous selection process, which is based on client and/or peer nominations, thorough research and AIOFLA’s independent evaluation. AIOFLA’s annual list was created to be used as a resource for clients during the attorney selection process. One of the most significant aspects of the selection process involves an attorney’s relationships and reputation among his or her clients. As clients should be an attorney’s top priority, AIOFLA places the utmost emphasis on selecting lawyers who have achieved significant success in the field of family law without sacrificing the service and support they provide. Selection criteria therefore focuses on attorneys who demonstrate the highest standards of client satisfaction.

“Stage One has enriched the lives of young audiences and the communities that surround them for longer than I have been alive. What an incredible honor to be able to further weave myself into its indelible legacy. I look forward to building on all of the great work,” said Goodwin. Goodwin will officially transition to the producing artistic director position on July 1. 0 6 . 2 8 . 2 0 1 8 V O I C E -T R I B U N E . C O M

PROFILE

King of the Slay Slay Coach Jamie King mentors and empowers local women By Graham Pilotte

Photo by Emma Jaimes Photography.

ven the most established companies once started as a tiny idea, but the growth process can be messy and nonlinear. Jamie King, known through her business as “The Slay Coach,” has experienced this firsthand. Pairing that knowledge with her passion for supporting women entrepreneurs, she founded Chardonnay and Slay, a recurring event that provides community to women entrepreneurs across Louisville. “It’s an inclusive networking event for all women at all stages of business,” King says of Chardonnay and Slay. “My passion is making sure that women have a good support system. When you have a tribe of boss babes behind you, it just gets easier.” King’s experience leading the way for other women entrepreneurs was hard-earned. “I never wanted to work for anyone else,” she explains. “But I kind of fell into the corporate world. I had a job that was heavy on traveling, but when I had a new baby I didn’t want to travel all the time.” She finally took a step out on her own and into the world of network marketing, but that still wasn’t enough. “I refused to stay small,” she says. Building off of her corporate skills and network marketing talent, King launched her

own company: The Slay Coach. “I knew I was going to do what I was called to do; I just had the mindset,” she recalls. After tremendous success (namely, earning six figures in six months), she’s delighted to help other female entrepreneurs do the same through her coaching and podcast. “If they go all in, fearlessly knowing that they are good enough, they’ll make it work,” she says confidently. This confidence also launched Chardonnay and Slay. King noticed an empty space in the support systems that are usually offered for small business owners and set out to fill that space for women who are still growing their ideas. “Chardonnay and Slay is for introverts or the women with a craft hobby or a small baking business who (tend to) think, ‘I don’t have a real business, so I can’t go to a networking event,’” King says. “I want them to come be inspired.” “We meet the last Thursday of every month at a business that is, at least partially, female-owned or female-run,” King explains. She uses a broad definition so that women taking part in franchises and partnerships are included. “When women come to Chardonnay and Slay, they pick up a name tag based on four stages of business and where they identify – baby grape, fermenting, full bottle 0 6 . 2 8 . 2 0 1 8 V O I C E -T R I B U N E .

of wine and a fine, aged, Boss Babe Bordeaux,” she says with a laugh. “That last one is to mentor and to help others along the way.” “Every month we have a guest speaker,” she says, “and it’s always a strong, female entrepreneur who talks about the hardships of business. We also let women practice pitching themselves in a safe environment. And if anyone’s graduated to a full bottle of wine, we invite them to come up so we can celebrate them.” In Louisville, the response has been significant. “We’ve created a really tight-knit, really supportive group,” King says. “It’s an opportunity for women to come network with other women who can help them grow. It’s boss babes who are supporting other boss babes.” After seeing Chardonnay and Slay’s initial success in Louisville, she’s planning to expand. “We’re opening up new chapters – Nashville in August, Portland in September and Indianapolis after that,” King says. “We’re really capitalizing on the energy we have right now for women – it’s our turn,” King says. “Women are starting to realize that they can have other women be their best friends and supporters. When you come from a place of abundance, you can be someone’s competition and still be their biggest cheerleader. “This is my heart project,” she continues. “I’m a beauty school dropout and a college 0 6 . 2 8 . 2 0 1 8 V O I C E -T R I B U N E . C O M

dropout, and I’m making more money than my husband with an MBA.” In fact, her business is going to fully support her family soon. “My husband is leaving his six-figure salary to come work for me,” King says. “I knew that my income would reflect my impact on people, so I needed to go out there and have a bigger impact on the lives of others, (specifically) the women around me. I’m here to give other women permission to go all in with what they’re passionate about.” For local business owners – from baby grapes to Boss Babe Bordeaux – King’s events can be game-changing. “When you get into the environment of Chardonnay and Slay, you want to support others,” King says. “It’s inclusive, it’s networking for women at all stages of their business and it’s all about cheering each other on. We’re ready to spread the way of the slay.” VT
