EDITOR’S NOTE

Letter Editor

If you’re in need of a philanthropic way to find stress relief and you’re a fan of felines, Louisville’s new Purrfect Day Cat Café is the answer. Sure, watching cat videos online provides instant satisfaction, but now Chuck Patton has brought the experience offline. In this week’s cover story, writer Kris Ritcher’s feature explores the already-popular place and proves why Purrfect Day is the cat’s meow (had to say it). We love seeing longtime friends of The Voice-Tribune in our pages, so it was our pleasure and privilege to send photographer Tim Valentino to Dan Schusterman’s 90th birthday party hosted at the home of Laura Frazier. Added bonus: Carla Sue Broecker, who had since retired her longtime column, Partyline, was there, too. Other highlights you’ll want to see in this issue: Bike to Beat Cancer is gearing up for the 10th anniversary event, Kentucky Opera hits a high note at Locust Grove, a new app – created by a local – helps tennis lovers find matches (for play not love, mind you), Bardstown is home to a new concept that’s worth the trip and we covered Tuxes and Tails, LEO Weekly’s Margaritas in the ’Ville and the Big Wish Gala. And celebrated photographer John Harralson Jr. was there to snap pictures at the Brown-Forman Luncheon. As always, thank you for taking the time to pick up The Voice.

What’s Cooking The latest in local food news

OSTRA: A SUSTAINABLE, PACIFIC EQUATORIAL CONCEPT OPENS

hef Adam Burress and partners are pleased to announce the opening of Ostra, a restaurant focused on sustainable cuisine inspired by the Pacific Equatorial region of the world. Louisville chef Adam Burress, recently featured on Food Network’s “Chopped,” is the man behind Game (gourmet burgers made with exotic game), Hammerheads (contemporary pub grub) and Migo (small plates, tacos). Ostra follows Burress’ classically-trained style and quest to innovate in the kitchen. Spanish for oysters, “Ostra” features a superb Pacific-inspired seafood program with oysters, poke and ceviche coupled with South American-inspired petites and handhelds. Food is responsibly sourced from small producers and local farms. You’ll find rabbit empanadas, a Nashville hot-style soft shell crab slider and a duck stroganoff. Along with interesting, sustainable proteins, Ostra offers different vegetarian

options like the potato pambazo and a crispy avocado banh mi. Unique daily specials are also offered. The dessert menu is particularly intriguing with pistachio goat cheese phyllo rolls, a cricket flour brownie with ripe banana coconut smear and red velvet churros served in a mint julep cup. “Ostra’s menu was designed with purpose,” said Burress. “We respect the process it takes to create the proteins we use and the produce we source locally. It is time for the restaurant industry as a whole to find sustainable ways to deliver creative, palate-pleasing meals. We’re here to give diners a completely new experience involving unique foods prepared using tried and tested methods.” Guests can also grab a drink from Ostra’s creative cocktail program designed by Chris Derome. The boozy drinks are named after different Nickelodeon shows – Kablam, Pinwheel, All That and Double Dare – but you

can also opt for a non-alcoholic Ducktail. Derome spent his early restaurant years at F.I.G. in Charleston, South Carolina, and at Savoy in New York City before running a boutique wine store in Brooklyn. Most recently, he ran the bar program at Seviche (Louisville, Kentucky) for 10 years. Ostra’s dining room is filled with irregularly shaped, live-edge marble and granite tabletops. The restaurant’s Jungle Room Lounge is ideal for cocktails after work. During warmer months, the patio space is open for patrons. Ostra is open 5 to 10 p.m. Tuesday through Saturday. Reservations available by phone at 502.915.0160. The restaurant is located at 1758 Frankfort Ave.

VARANESE RESTAURANT CELEBRATING 11 YEARS ON THE AVENUE

n Aug. 20, Varanese will serve-all-you-can eat ribs for dinner along with their regular dinner menu and complimentary flambé made special by chef John Varanese himself. They will have wine specials and jazz music plus plenty of great stories reliving the 11 years Varanese Restaurant has been a fixture on Frankfort Avenue. Come out and celebrate with them!

A Bourbon Evolution

Bardstown Bourbon Company’s spirit experience is like no other Story and photos by Rick Redding

Rick Redding is the host of two weekly podcasts, the Rusty Satellite Show and EatDrinkTalk. His written work has been featured in Business First, LEO Weekly, Insider Louisville, Louisville Magazine and The Voice-Tribune. In 2006, he became the city’s first independent news blogger. Today he also owns and operates LouisvilleKY.com, an independent news site.

f you were going to create the Disney World of bourbon and build an all-encompassing bourbon-based experience, you’d start, of course, in Bardstown. That’s what the founders of the Bardstown Bourbon Company did – buying 100 acres of land smack-dab in the middle of the Kentucky Bourbon Trail, investing $25 million in a state-of-the-art, technologically unmatched brand-new distillery and hiring craftspeople with years of experience in distilling brown liquor. When it opened two years ago, the community around it may not have known what to make of the upstart company. In a business rich with tradition and established players, the new guys in town announced plans to do business differently as a contract distiller partnering with established brands to produce large quantities of product. It turns out, there was an unmet demand, and the company quickly signed up more than 20 clients – all established brands who were required to commit to 600 barrels of product. Just as quickly, it began to expand its capabilities, investing another $12 million in equipment so that it is now producing 6.8 million proof gallons (about 3.6 million cases). “That part of our business was the engine that allowed us to do everything else,” said

David Mandell, president and CEO, sitting in the newly-opened, on-site restaurant Bottle & Bond Kitchen and Bar. “One, it gave us the expertise, it allowed us to create the distillery and expand it. It has given us the revenue to do all these other things. We don’t have any constraints.” Those other things start with a restaurant unlike anything else in Bardstown or on the Kentucky Bourbon Trail. On the site, work gets underway this fall to build a fifth warehouse to store and age all the bourbon being produced. Looking south, past fields of crops that are used in the distilling process, is the site of what will be a boutique hotel that Mandell says is just a year or two down the road. “It’s fun, evolving and there’s a lot more to come,” he said. “We have the Visitor’s Experience that we’re going to be building on top of this. You’ll see the warehouses out there, and we’re building a whole bar, which will be all glass looking into the warehouse.” For now though, there’s the new restaurant. Bright and spacious, it’s obvious no expense was spared in its creation. Mandell said that on a recent Saturday night, just seven weeks after opening, the restaurant had 700 covers. The menu features a wide variety of appetizers, sandwiches and main courses, all 0 8 . 1 6 . 2 0 1 8 V O I C E -T R I B U N E . C O M

made from scratch and created by an all-star culinary team. That team is led by John Donnelly, who opened 15 restaurants during his tenure at Matchbox Food Group. Chef Felix Masso, previously at the Greenbrier Resort in West Virginia, is the executive chef. And the restaurant’s director of beverage operations and bourbon education is Dan Callaway, who left his job as general manager of Decca Restaurant in NuLu in April to commute to Bardstown. “We wanted the food to be about quality ingredients, using the relationships we have with local vendors,” said Donnelly. “We use a term called ‘refined simplicity,’ which is really about food being fun if you have great ingredients and you just prepare them well.” Guests will see a variety of nationalities represented in the restaurant staff, thanks to a program BBC has with the U.S. State Department. It brings hospitality and culinary students from around the world to work at Bottle & Bond. The company provides housing and transportation and offers the students a year-long curriculum designed to teach them about local culinary arts, bourbon culture and Kentucky. The first students are from the Phillipines, South Africa and India. 0 8 . 1 6 . 2 0 1 8 V O I C E -T R I B U N E . C O M

Kendra Scott Launches 2018 Fall Collection

KENDRA SCOTT 7900 Shelbyville Road, Suite B-10 kendrascott.com @kendrascott on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram

n Aug. 8, the Kendra Scott 2018 Fall Collection launched, bringing a bold and striking impact of colors and textures to the newest collection from the Austin-based fashion and lifestyle brand. Kendra Scott Louisville donated 20 percent of all proceeds from the launch event from 5 to 8 p.m. to Young Professionals Association of Louisville (YPAL). YPAL offers events, networking opportunities and professional development for young professionals in the Louisville community. The event included catered food, sips and a potted succulent for the first 20 customers who spent $100. Calligrapher Sarah Cutsinger was also onsite offering complimentary calligraphy. Including an assortment of earrings, necklaces, rings and bracelets, the collection highlights the distinct colors of the season through an array of unique materials, including: Pink Rhodonite, African Turquoise and Brown Tiger’s Eye. “I love our fall collection for its stunning contrast of art and nature,” says founder, designer and philanthropist Kendra Scott.

“It is a thoughtful balance of bold and exotic pieces that are effortlessly beautiful. From the playful impact of colorful feathers to the thoughtful use of genuine stone and acrylic, every piece in this collection is crafted to make a woman feel like her strongest, most beautiful self.” With the launch of the fall collection comes several new techniques and design motifs for the brand, such as feathers and intarsia, or the bookending of stones. Each feather is individually cut, dyed and shaped by hand. By intricately grouping and layering the feathers, this technique showcases a beautiful mix of color and texture. Intarsia, a technique traditionally used in furniture design, brings a dynamic look to this season’s designs by fusing two mirrored halves of a stone together to create a beautiful two-directional pattern. Alongside the fall collection jewelry launch, two new candle fragrances were released: Berry Agate and Tiger’s Eye. Both scents are inspired by the season – from mixed berries and ripe plum to amber resin and firewood – and will undoubtedly become a home favorite as the days turn cooler. VT

Walkers and runners prepare for the 5K Run Woof Walk at the 2017 Bark in the Park.

SPOTLIGHT

Animal Care Society

or more than 20 years, Animal Care Society (ACS) has helped care for and re-home thousands of cats and dogs in our community and beyond. We spoke with ACS executive director Bunny Zeller as she and her team prepare for Give for Good Louisville on Sept. 13 and Bark in the Park on Sept. 22.

THE MISSION Founded in 1984, ACS is a 501(c)(3) non-profit no-kill adoption agency for dogs and cats. “We’re a privately funded, volunteer-driven organization whose financial support comes solely through annual subscription memberships, donations and adoption fees,” Zeller said. “We receive no federal, state or local government funding.” “We speak for the voiceless and lead by example in our ongoing work,” she continued. “We provide responsible and humane treatment to our dog and cat guests until we can find them appropriate homes.” Over the last 10 years, ACS has placed more than 8,000 pets into devoted and responsible homes. “We are proud of our success and our sustained positive impact on our community,” she affirmed.

THE GIVE FOR GOOD GOAL ACS participated in Give for Good last year, but this year they plan to attend the rally at 4th Street Live! as well. “We used social media and mass emails to get the word out about Animal Care Society’s involvement with Give for Good Louisville, and I believe we raised $4,492.41,” Zeller said. 16

BY THE NUMBERS ACS has limited housing of animals but they consistently try to pull in animals in need. “We take in owner surrenders and pull from surrounding counties,” Zeller explained. “We usually have about 500 adoptions per year. We normally have about 60 animals for adoption but at the moment, we are low due to many adoptions in the last two weeks. I have some animals I’m pulling in from another rural county. We have had 1,000 volunteers over the years, and we are lucky to have a core of 25 loyal volunteers who help with most things including fundraising. We are 100-percent adoption-based and rarely have we had to euthanize an animal unless it was due to a deadly illness and a vet recommended it.”

PREPARING FOR BARK IN THE PARK This is the 15th year ACS is putting on Bark in the Park. “Registration is going on now at our website or on active.com,” Zeller said. “It is still $25 and the day of is $30. We just finished our t-shirt contest and have a winner, Jamie Watters, whose picture will be on the runner/walker shirt.” At the event, the organization puts on a Dog-of-the-Year Contest, and the dog that raises the most money wins a prize. “We are so excited to have Lily and Daisy The Dogs performing this year,” she said. “We also have Lucky Dog Adventure to run a lure course and LMPD will do a demonstration. As always, we will have our dog contests including the Halloween Costume Contest (our 0 8 . 1 6 . 2 0 1 8 V O I C E -T R I B U N E . C O M

favorite), the Look Alike and Kissing Contests.” Tasty eats including hot dogs and pizza are sold throughout the day. Money is raised through the morning’s run/walk. All the proceeds from their fundraisers help with the care and medical costs of their animals.

HOW WE CAN HELP “Since we receive no state or federal funding, we rely on the generosity of the community,” Zeller explained. “We can always use volunteers, too. We also would love for people to join as a member, which costs as little as $25 a year. We are always grateful for monetary donations or donations of needed supplies. We especially love when kids donate to us for their birthday or Christmas. We love that parents are teaching the importance of giving back and being generous to those who have less. Every little bit helps. “We know that there are many nonprofits out there to choose from and not everyone can give money, so volunteering is a great way to help,” Zeller continued. “Also, you can support us by coming to our entertaining events. Our three main fundraisers are Bark in the Park on Sept. 22, Bow Wow Meow Boutique on Nov. 30 and Dec. 1-2 and Benefit Bash on March 16, 2019. We hope everyone will join us.

Riding C Toward Recovery

elebrating its 10-year anniversary next month, Bike to Beat Cancer has been raising awareness and support for those in our community whose lives have been touched by cancer. The annual bike ride began under a different name, “Ride to Conquer Cancer,” with cyclists riding to Lexington and back. Since its inception, the event has transformed into a family-friendly day where participants of all ages can ride for those they love, right here in Louisville. Bike to Beat Cancer attracts riders from diverse backgrounds and experiences but whose lives have all been touched by cancer. Bike to Beat Cancer Benefiting Some are cancer survivors themselves while others ride for their children, their coworkers Norton Cancer Institute or for those who can’t ride themselves. To participate in the event, riders must raise a By Baylee Pendleton minimum amount in donations according to Photos by Jamie Rhodes, their chosen length – a minimum of $400 to Norton Healthcare Photographer participate in the 35, 65, 100 mile rides ($100 as a survivor) or $200 to participate in the 15 mile or spin rides ($50 as a survivor).

Riders can choose to direct their donations to various areas within Norton Cancer Institute: the Brain Tumor Center/Norton Neuroscience Institute, the Breast Health Program, education and certification, prevention and screening, patient PROFILE

financial assistance or the institute’s area of greatest need. Norton Cancer Institute has set itself apart in the Greater Louisville area and beyond by focusing on a multi-specialty physician approach, continuity of care for patients and support for their families and more than 180 innovative cancer-related clinical research trials for qualifying patients. The Institute’s impact cannot be understated – its Prevention and Wellness Mobile Prevention Center has screened more than 27,000 people since 2007, leading to 171 individuals being diagnosed and treated for cancer. As Kentucky’s only integrated network cancer program accredited by the Commission on Cancer, Norton Cancer Institute is widely recognized as a leader in its field and continues to see above-average survival rates. Proceeds from Bike to Beat Cancer events over the past decade have helped fund clinical research programs, advanced education for nursing staff, prevention and early detection initiatives and more at Norton Cancer Institute. For the 2017 event alone, over $480,000 was raised and over $3.24 million has been raised since Bike to Beat Cancer started. This year’s event location is a testament to the difference Bike to Beat Cancer makes in our community – the ride will begin outside of the new Norton Cancer Institute-Brownsboro ahead of the facility’s completion. “This year’s event is going to be really special as we celebrate the 10th year of the Bike to Beat Cancer with the ride kicking off at the new Norton Cancer Institute-Brownsboro, just about a month ahead of its construction completion date,” said Lynnie Meyer, senior vice president and chief development officer for Norton Healthcare. “With more than 4,000 people diagnosed with cancer in Louis0 8 . 1 6 . 2 0 1 8 V O I C E -T R I B U N E .

ville each year, it is so important for us to have a building dedicated to cancer care. With an innovative design and advanced technology, Norton Cancer Institute-Brownsboro will allow us to take even better care of those battling cancer. If cancer has touched your life – and for many of us, it has – I challenge you to open your heart and consider participating in the Bike to Beat Cancer.” The event now includes 35, 65 or 100 mile rides, with a new addition this year of a 15-mile ride. Other offerings make the event ultra-inclusive, like a 5-mile Family Ride, an hour-long Spin Ride or a Virtual Ride option for those who are unavailable on the day of the event. If you can’t ride, you can get involved by volunteering. A “Just for Kids” zone provides activities for children, and a “Celebration of Courage” event the night before the race honors cancer patients and survivors in the presence of their families. Year after year, Bike to Beat Cancer welcomes us all in to celebrate and remember cancer patients and survivors and to do our part in beating cancer once and for all.

Local tennis lover launches new app to promote the game and find fellow players By Lisa Hornung Photos by Chelsea Grider Ellen Stubbs.

ennis players can’t exactly play solo. They need someone to return the ball in order to have a proper game, and finding an opponent or doubles partner can be a challenge. Luckily, a local tennis lover has created an app to solve that problem. Rally78, created by Ellen Stubbs, has been described as a kind of Tinder for tennis – minus the romantic component. “You do swipe, but I’m not going to say you swipe right or left,” Stubbs said with a laugh. Rally78 gets its name from the length of a tennis court, 78 feet. Tennis players of all levels can create a profile and find a partner based on their skill level, age and location. Stubbs got the idea while traveling for her former job at Capture Higher Ed. “I’d find myself in some really great tennis towns in Southern California or Texas, and I’d be on the road traveling visiting college campuses, but I needed people to play tennis with.” She liked to travel with her racket, but not having someone to play with was frustrtaing. “For tennis players, (with Rally78) no matter where they’re at, whether they’re traveling or they’ve moved to a new city or they’re just in their hometown, they can hop onto one platform and find more people to play with,” Stubbs said. Stubbs knew that Louisville has a thriving entrepreneurial scene, and she had connections at Forest Giant, which developed the app. She quit her job last year at Capture Higher Ed, and now she’s full-time with Rally78, which is available on Apple and Android platforms. The official launch was in July, and she’s been traveling all over to promote the app among tennis players. It now has almost 1,000 0 8 . 1 6 . 2 0 1 8 V O I C E -T R I B U N E . C O M

members, and her goal is to hit 10,000 by the end of the year. She and her business partner, Jan Barrett, recently traveled to the Atlanta Open tournament to promote the app in the largest tennis community in the world. “We’re excited to try and build a platform that is easy to use, fun and engaging for tennis players everywhere,” Stubbs said. “We just really want to grow the game, and there are a lot of people who want to take their rackets with them when they travel.” Jason Miller, executive director of the U.S. Tennis I’d find myself in some really Association of Kentucky, great tennis towns in Southern said the app will help promote the sport. “It’s California or Texas, and I’d be on the road just been very apparent that (Stubbs and Barrett) traveling visiting college campuses, but I get the big picture as far as growing tennis goes,” he needed people to play tennis with. said. “It takes everybody — Ellen Stubbs working together to grow tennis as a sport and they really get that.” He said the app is quite easy to use, which Stubbs said has always been the goal, and it’s free for users. The find-a-partner portion of the app will always be free, but advertising will help support it. Later, she’d like to integrate the ability to pay court fees through the app, which would generate a small service fee. “Tennis can be seen as exclusive or expensive,” Stubbs said, “but it really doesn’t have to be that way.” VT RALLY78 Available on the App Store and Google Play rally78.com 21

COMMUNITY’S FIRST WOMEN’S ONLY DAY SHELTER OPENS IN DOWNTOWN LOUISVILLE

homeless mothers have experienced at least one trauma and 81 percent have experienced multiple traumatic events – with 91 percent experiencing trauma in both adulthood and childhood.”

The Coalition for the Homeless is pleased to announce the opening of its newest member agency, Uniting Partners (UP) for Women and Children, located at 425 S. Second St. at Christ Church Cathedral. Community leaders, including Mayor Greg Fischer and Councilwoman Barbara Sexton Smith, celebrated the opening with a ribbon cutting ceremony at the day shelter’s location in downtown Louisville.

UP’s day shelter will give homeless women and their children a place to rest, build community and find resources needed to reclaim their lives. It will provide showers, laundry, a phone and a mailing address, as well as life skills classes and case management services to help participants navigate the system to access housing, employment, financial benefits, IDs, health insurance, basic healthcare and many other resources.

“Our vision is to ensure safety for women and children who are experiencing or nearing homelessness by providing a safe, reliable and supportive space that offers comprehensive services,” said UP for Women and Children co-founder Amy Schutz. “By working with additional service providers, we adequately link women, children and families to vital support and resources that they need to be empowered.”

“UP fills a great need in Louisville for a safe and welcoming place for homeless women,” said Natalie Harris, executive director of the Coalition for the Homeless. “Women can meet immediate needs including food, showers and laundry while working with a case manager on long-term goals like housing, education and employment. We are so happy to see this new center open its doors!”

UP for Women and Children also addresses a gap in the community by serving as Louisville’s first women’s-only day shelter.

The center is open Monday, Wednesday and Friday from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. The opening of UP for Women and Children was made possible by support from Women4Women, the Coalition for the Homeless, Louisville Metro Government, the Ignite Louisville leadership development program and many other individuals and organizations.

“In order for these women to feel safe, they need a space specifically designed for women only,” said UP for Women and Children co-founder Andrea Scott. “Research shows that 93 percent of

announced last week that the board of directors unanimously elected Susanna M. Westerfield as executive director to spearhead fundraising efforts in support of Louisville Metro Animal Services and the much-anticipated completion of a new, state-of-the-art shelter in 2019. “The board of directors and LMAS are truly excited to bring Westerfield on board. Her experience, commitment to caring for homeless animals and progressive vision made her the ideal choice for FOMAS and our community,” said Amy Wisotsky, chairman. In addition to an extensive background in business development and organizational learning, Westerfield brings to the board her expertise in non-profit administration, organizational leadership and program development. Westerfield’s new role will also include working with the dedicated, compassionate staff at LMAS to expand community outreach in support of programs critical to caring for the thousands of animals that enter the shelter each year. “I will help advance LMAS’ progress as the county’s largest and only open-admission animal shelter that provides a temporary home for more than 7,500 animals last year and reached No-Kill Status for the first time ever,” said Westerfield, executive director of FOMAS. “We can make a difference in the lives of those living in our community by providing a state-ofthe-art location where healthy, adoptable pets reside waiting for adoption. There is nothing more fulfilling than helping people in our community experience the steadfast love and companionship of a pet.” Westerfield assumed her role as executive director of the board in April 2018. Westerfield holds an MS degree in instructional systems technology from Indiana University, has served in several leadership roles as pastoral council secretary, board of director of the Catholic Athletic Ministry, Handin-Hand Ministries and various time and talent activities within her children’s school and church, bringing to FOMAS a wealth of knowledge about boards, volunteerism and stewardship.

ounging on a picnic blanket on a verdant lawn while listening to opera sounds like a scene from a romantic movie. But thanks to Kentucky Opera, it’s actually a fun way to listen and learn at Locust Grove this summer. The Summer Thursday Concert Series at Locust Grove has provided a unique venue for light opera at one of Louisville’s most important historical sites. The latest installment of the concert series is slated for 6:30 p.m. on Aug. 30, when Kentucky Opera will explore the history of Kentucky from its beginnings to modern times through song. “There is something for everyone, and the setting is perfect to sit and listen or roam at will,” said Brian Cushing, program director at Locust Grove. “When guests arrive in the Kentucky Opera brings evening, they get to physically step away from hectic rush of their day-to-day lives and exciting concert series the onto 55 acres of woods, fields and historic to the historic venue structures.

favorites. Performers match the timeline and history of Locust Grove with opera greats from the same period. “We have wanted to do some kind of series at Locust Grove for a couple of years now,” said Sandra Wu, manager of artistic services at Kentucky Opera. “The Summer Thursday Concert Series was conceived by the Opera’s manager of education and engagement, Aubrey Baker, and the Locust Grove staff to bring three different themes to the property. We will be featuring music from Rossini, Gilbert & Sullivan, Mozart and more, including selections from our upcoming production of ‘The Magic Flute.’” The Aug. 30 performance will match the music with the historical timeline of Kentucky. Settler William Croghan called Louisville home by 1784. That same year, Mozart became a Freemason in Austria, personally adapting ideals that not only influenced the American Founding Fathers but would later embed themselves in his acclaimed opera, “The Magic Flute.” When “The Magic Flute” premiered a few years later in 1792, Italian opera legend Gioacchino Rossini was born in Italy, and back in Kentucky, William and Lucy Clark Croghan were building their home, Locust Grove. The Croghan family sold the land to riverboat captain James Paul in 1878, when productions of Gilbert and Sullivan’s H.M.S Pinafore premiered, inspiring great interest in light opera throughout the United States. When Locust Grove was restored and opened to the public in 1964, Kentucky Opera was 0 8 . 1 6 . 2 0 1 8 V O I C E -T R I B U N E . C O M

It also uses the events throughout the city to help build younger and less traditional audiences. “It showcases how fun and easy it is to attend and enjoy live opera performances,” said Wu. “We try to feature our enormous talent, many of whom are also young and who look like the audiences we are trying to attract. You can follow our social channels to learn how to connect with these amazing performers.” Guests for the Summer Thursday Concert Series at Locust Grove are encouraged to bring their own blankets and chairs.

HOMES

At Home with SCOTT REED By Janice Carter Levitch Photos by Kathryn Harrington

walk through history is the best way to describe Scott Reed’s home, which was built in the 1970s and reflects the architectural designs of that time. However, the history that interests Reed most is from World War II and the Civil War, as well as the time when our nation was founded. Reed is the fourth generation of a family-owned business, a passionate drummer and a father of two children. Reed is diverse in his interests and that is reflected throughout his home. As vice president of National Sales with V.G. Reed & Sons, Inc., Reed explained that the company was founded in 1938 by his great grandfather, V.G. Reed, and is in its fourth generation of family ownership. Scott Reed is also the metro councilman for the 16th District – the largest district in the

area – and fulfilling these duties requires a lot of time. The balance between his full-time career and being part of the Metro Council keeps his life energized, as does his family. Reed recently welcomed The Voice-Tribune into his home to share five of his favorite things.

1. LUDWIG ROCKERS DRUM SET Reed has been playing drums since he was 14 years old and is part of the band Melody Resurrection that performs on a regular basis at Northeast Christian Church’s Clifton Campus. The band also plays at venues around town and private events. “I’m self taught and my drumming hero is Ringo Starr. If you’re a musician, you have to play. To me, it’s just part of something that you’re born with,” Reed commented.

2. CHARCOAL DRAWING Another favorite item is an autographed charcoal drawing of Bill Guarnere, who a character in the miniseries “Band of Brothers” that aired in 2000 and is based on a true story. Guarnere served in the United States Army 101st Airborne; the mini-series was written and based on the different battles they went through. “I was interested in the mini-series, which was produced by Tom Hanks and Steven Spielberg. They called him ‘Wild’ Bill Guarnere, and I got the drawing through his son as a result of my interest in World War II,” Reed said.

3. BROWNIE HAWKEYE VINTAGE CAMERA “I’ve always been fascinated with blackand-white photography. It’s very three-dimensional, and it leaves more to the imagination by not giving you all the different colors of the image,” Reed explained. The camera belonged to Reed’s great grandmother, Roberta Reed, who was married to V.G. Reed. Roberta took many photographs of the family with the camera and because of Scott Reed’s interest in black-and-white photography, it was passed along to him.

4. BURIAL FLAG Reed’s paternal grandfather, Howard Reed, was killed during the battle of Saint-Lo in France. The military honored his bravery by presenting the family with a burial flag. “The letter in the frame is from my great grandmother (Howard’s mother) explaining the details of the flag and its significance. My father passed the sacred burial flag on to me. The dog tags are from my maternal grandfather, who served in General Patton’s Army stationed in North Africa,” Reed remembered.

5. BEATLES MEMORABILIA “I’ve been obsessed with the Beatles since I was a young child. To me, they are to popular music what Mozart and Beethoven are to classical music. What they did and accomplished musically will endure forever. In addition to writing fantastic songs, they were also very interesting people,” Reed said. As the drummer for Melody Resurrection, Reed performs with the band at Abbey Road on the River as one of the cover bands chosen to appear at the annual event. Reed also has a collection of approximately 50 Beatles books that he reads over and over again. VT 0 8 . 1 6 . 2 0 1 8 V O I C E -T R I B U N E . C O M

“Purrprietor” Chuck Patton.

hings were already bustling at Purrfect Day Café, Louisville’s first cat café and adoption lounge, early on the morning of the grand opening last week. Owner Chuck Patton was all smiles – and why wouldn’t he be? He shares his workspace with 18 to 20 kittens, all of whom are full of boundless energy to play and explore or just as happy to curl up on a lap to nap the day away. As a cat enthusiast myself, I was thrilled to catch up with Patton to learn about his vision for the café and spend some time in his room full of fur-babies. The kittens who reside at Purrfect Day Café all come from the Kentucky Humane Society (KHS). All are “fixed” and microchipped and up to date on shots before they 0 8 . 1 6 . 2 0 1 8 V O I C E -T R I B U N E . C O M

arrive to Patton and his team. His partnership with KHS not only helps streamline the adoption process but allows for consistent, continued care of the kittens and an additional donation source for KHS. Representatives from the nonprofit visit the café every day to bring food and supplies, oversee care and health needs and backfill any vacancies left by recent adoptions. All adoption fees go to KHS, and on the first Monday of each month, the café donates visitation fees to KHS as well. As of the grand opening, Patton says the café has already raised $2,800 for KHS. These days, Patton is proud to call himself the “purrprietor” of the most cuddly café on the block, but this kind of business wasn’t always on his radar. Three years ago, Patton 35

sold his Louisville-based digital media agency, Traffic Builders, in search of work that might provide more passion and purpose for him. While on vacation, he stumbled across a cat café in Charleston, South Carolina, called Pounce. Upon investigation, Patton learned that the shop was consistently booking 20 people every hour to sip and play. Pounce was assisting with so many adoptions that nearby counties were being sourced to keep the place full of felines in need of homes. The model was so successful, Charleston was actually running out of homeless cats. Patton thought, “This is the kind of industry disrupter that could change the adoption concept from cages to cuddles.” Typically, cats in need of adoption are housed in cages, which prevents a prospective owner from being able to really interact and get a feel for the animal’s personality, energy level and demeanor. The “cages to cuddles” model hinges on the idea that adopters can meet and mingle with potential pets in advance to determine if they’ll be a good fit for one another before bringing them home. Purrfect Day is, of course, cat-themed but also has a distinct Kentucky flair. Local beers are on the menu as well as wine, coffee and tea, all served from a bourbon-barrel bar. There is an outdoor “catio” area, snacks and light bites, which are procured locally from Lotsa Pasta and a selection of sweets and “paw-stries” baked by Louisville’s own Najla’s Cookies. Gourmet “paw-pcorn” made by The Popcorn Station, a local Kentucky Proud business, rounds out the menu. A slew 36

of tees, stickers, hats and other merchandise is available for purchase. Patton’s team of three “top cats” (managers), 10 “house cats” (staff) and another 10 “key matchmakers” (volunteers) are on deck to help patrons with everything from adoption paperwork to a great cup of coffee. So how does it work? Customers make an online reservation and visit the cat lounge within the café in 50-minute blocks of time for a visitation fee of $10 on weekdays and $12 on weekends. Before coming to cuddle the hour away, the easy-to-navigate website walks users through a quick waiver process (covering the occasional kitty-accident and potentially appearing in the background of another patron’s photo) and answers any pre-adoption questions surrounding cost and care. For those who simply want to window-watch the kittens, no reservation in needed. Just pop in for a beverage or a specialty dessert or snack anytime during business hours. Patton also has plans to host specific events, like “Caturday” morning cartoons for kids and a few yoga-with-cats sessions as early as this fall. Purrfect Day Café absolutely welcomes families, date nights, girls’ nights out and group get-togethers. Patton says one of his personal missions is to “bring some cat awareness to the non-cat people out there.” He told me he’d recently received a call from a gentleman who claimed he “was not a cat person” but that his girlfriend was, so he booked a date night for them to spend with the kittens. Patton and I agreed 0 8 . 1 6 . 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

that guy is a keeper and will probably leave the experience as a feline fan. (If you are so inclined to surprise someone, Purrfect Day does have gift cards available for the cat lovers in your life.) With a goal of adopting out 300 cats in the first year, Patton is off to a great start. Opening day alone yielded 10 adoptions and new kittens have already backfilled those spots. While the current residents are all around four months old, Patton does intend to have some older cats after the summer (which he refers to as, â&#x20AC;&#x153;kitten seasonâ&#x20AC;?) is over.

SOCIETY

hat could be more exciting than a birthday party, especially when the birthday boy is turning 90? Laura Frazier, along with Cindy and Ray Carcione, recently hosted just that, a 90th birthday party for none other than Dan Schusterman. The happy gathering was held at Rostrevor, the home of Laura Frazier, which is the perfect place for a celebration. Built in 1908 and designed by Carrere & Hastings/Loomis & Hastings, its classic yet grand architectural style has the ability to transport guests to another time and place. Dan was all smiles as he watched guests arrive, some of whom he hadn’t seen in quite a while (including me). Everyone shared stories about time they’ve spent with Dan over the years as they enjoyed the delicious dinner catered by Wiltshire Pantry. Cindy surprised Dan with one of her award-winning cakes (she’s an avid baker and a good one at that), which happened to be his favorite, Italian crème. The look on Dan’s face as everyone sang “Happy Birthday” and then the crowning moment when he took a bite of cake was priceless. And I think it was the first time I’ve ever seen him speechless. But, that didn’t last long as the conversations resumed and numerous toasts were made. One toast was made by Mac Brown, who recounted wonderful memories. Cindy also reminisced about Dan’s illustrious contributions to our community and his family and friends. One very special moment of the evening was when Carla Sue and Brad Broecker sat with me and discussed her tenure as the weekly columnist for The Voice. As I spoke with her, she offered sage advice and explained to me how effortless, yet challenging at times, it was to create her column for so many decades. She took my hand and reassured me it would be as amazing for me as it had been for her. What an icon in our community. Wish me luck as I jump into adventurous waters and continue to create a weekly column that I hope you’ll enjoy being part of. Onto another culinary moment. Let me be the one to inform you about something truly delicious happening in our city that you can participate in. “Secrets of Bluegrass Chefs” is filmed weekly at their studio location on Story Avenue. It’s an absolute barrel of fun with Bourbon Barrel Foods (yes, I know that’s corny) offering a collection of all-natural, award-winning gourmet foods. All of these are available to purchase in the green room (the reception area where the guests wait) and embrace the history and mystique of Kentucky’s bourbon country. Once inside the studio where the cameras surround the staged kitchen, the hosts – Tim Laird, Chief Entertaining Officer for Brown-Forman, and Kevin Harned, chief

meteorologist at WAVE 3 News – began bantering as they welcomed the audience. These guys are hilarious together, grabbing every opportunity to take comical jabs at each other, all the while keeping the show on track with the guest chefs of the week. Tim’s wife, Lori Laird, is always nearby and helps run the show while adding a touch of elegance. Kentucky Proud and the Kentucky Department of Agriculture are sponsors of the show. As the chefs began explaining their menus to the audience and the hosts, Tim and Kevin continued bouncing their jokes around. I was committed to meandering over to the bar area to indulge in a silky red number, 1000 Stories Gold Rush Red, a red wine aged in bourbon barrels. Chef Rob Rice from Grassa Gramma, an Italian-style restaurant opening soon in Holiday Manor, prepared a carbonara pasta dish that would make you slap your best friend (not really, but it was that good). Also included was a cooking presentation by chef Zack Wolf from Artesano, a Spanish restaurant located in Westport Village. Wolf introduced my palate to the most delectable brussels sprouts coated in brown butter. They tasted as if they were made in heaven. Every dish was so perfectly paired with the bourbon barrel-aged red wine, I could’ve cried. Executive producer Michael Lattin and associate producer Dan Davidsaver work their magic week after week, making each show as unique as the last. “It’s always rewarding to be able to tell good news about our city and state. What better way to connect our local community than through food. We’re always amazed at the creativity and passion our local chefs have for their cuisines. We try to have as much fun making the show as the audience does watching it,” Michael commented. Fun, food, good times. What a vivacious community we live in. VT

KENTUCKY ORGAN DONOR AFFILIATES ADDS FOUR NEW BOARD MEMBERS

Kentucky Organ Donor Affiliates (KODA) recently welcomed four new members to its board of directors. KODA is one of the 58 organ procurement organizations in the U.S. working to save lives through organ donation and enhance lives through tissue donation. The board of directors is KODA’s governing body and meets periodically to discuss and vote on KODA affairs. Julie Bergin, BSN, MHA, KODA’s president and CEO, said three of the new board members – Denisha Henry, Eduardo Pino, M.D. and Mike Lutz – have already started their three-year terms, while Robert “Bo” Cofield Jr. will join in September. The current board chair is Hoyt Burdick, M.D., FACHE, who serves as chief medical officer at Cabell Huntington Hospital in Huntington, West Virginia. Bergin said the board of directors is essential to KODA’s continued success with its mission. “We truly appreciate the input of our board members and value the wisdom they can contribute from their various perspectives in business and in the community. We are very fortunate that these leaders have committed to assisting KODA in honoring the gift of donation throughout our service area.”

Robert “Bo” Cofield Jr.

Dr. Eduardo Pino.

Originally from Louisville, Denisha Henry works as a clinical research coordinator with Associates in Neurology PSC in Lexington, Kentucky. She is also a donor mom. She first became associated with KODA after her daughter T’Neil Martin died in 2010 and was able to save lives as an organ donor. She has been an active volunteer, served on KODA’s donor family council and will become a member of the board’s quality committee. “I am excited to serve on KODA’s board and make a difference in a new way,” Henry said. “I am honored to do this in memory of my daughter T’Neil and to make my service on the board a part of her legacy.” Dr. Pino has served many roles at Cabell Huntington Hospital, including being the long-time chair of the donation committee. He currently serves as medical director of Hoops Family Children’s Hospital. Also, the Team for West Virginia Children recently honored him with its Service to Children Award. He will serve on the board’s quality committee, lending insight into the care of pediatric organ and tissue donors and their families. “I am honored to be asked to serve with an organization that has such a noble purpose,” said Dr. Pino. “I hope that I can work to fulfill its mission and thereby help so many others.” Mike Lutz is the human resources general manager at Toyota Motor Manufacturing in Lexington. Lutz, who will serve on the strategic planning committee, is a transplant recipient and is grateful for his own second chance. “I am very humbled by the opportunity to support and serve on KODA’s board,” he said. “I want to help others learn more about the life-saving experience I have been through. I can help others to understand the gifts that occur because of generous donors and their families.” Robert “Bo” Cofield is the vice president and chief clinical operations manager at UK HealthCare in Lexington. He will fill one of the two seats on the board held by the UK Healthcare Transplant Center. Cofield will begin his term in September and will initially serve on the finance committee.

I am honored to be asked to serve with an organization that has such a noble purpose. I hope that I can work to fulfill its mission and thereby help so many others. — Dr. Eduardo Pino

“I think serving on the KODA board will be an important opportunity to serve the community,” he said. “Since my organization is a health care provider, I hope to help translate some of the great successes we’ve had to help other providers.” KODA is based in Louisville and has offices in Lexington, Paducah, Bowling Green, Owensboro and Pikeville, Kentucky, and in Huntington, West Virginia. KODA’s service area includes most of Kentucky, two counties in West Virginia, one county in Ohio and four counties in Indiana. 0 8 . 1 6 . 2 0 1 8 V O I C E -T R I B U N E . C O M

BAUMAN, EDITH JUNE HOUCHIN “HOUCH” Edith June Houchin “Houch” Bauman, 89, passed away peacefully at home with her family by her side. She was born in Louisville on Dec. 1, 1928 to Carl M. Houchin and Gertrude Jaggers Houchin. Edith graduated from Shawnee High School and worked at the Board of Health and General Electric. As a mature and sassy 16-year-old, she met a strapping older man 12 years her senior, Francis E. Bauman “Sam,” to whom she was later married. They enjoyed 64 years of marriage together. A beloved wife, mother, daughter and friend, Edith had a special way of making all those around her feel loved and welcomed. Her heart was always wide open. Her family always came first and she dedicated her life to them. Edith loved life and participated in it fully despite decades of suffering in chronic pain. She loved opera and classical music and played it on high volume. She was an incredible duplicate bridge player and held in the highest esteem by her bridge-playing friends. Her flower gardens exuded her gardening expertise and love for the beauty of nature. You could find her most summers working in her garden with the Cincinnati Reds baseball game blaring on her transistor radio. Edith was the best of cooks, providing healthy meals for her family and anyone else who might wander into her house. Known as the neighborhood mom, she was always feeding and caring for someone. She loved travel and was lucky enough to have traveled the world. Edith’s bright smile and welcoming manner will be forever missed by her family: daughter, Dr. Lisa A. Bauman (Dr. Greg

Nunnally); son, Dr. C. Nicholas Bauman (Dr. Jan Rohn Bauman); son-in-law, Stephen J. Wilson; and grandchildren, Greta M. Pittenger (J. Ben Pittenger), Eva C. Nunnally, Miles F. Wilson, Chase R. Bauman, Chad L. Bauman and Schuyler J. Wilson. Her husband, Francis E. Bauman, and daughter, Laura E. Bauman, predeceased her. The family would like to thank Hosparus of Louisville and all of her wonderful caregivers who expertly cared for and loved her: Mary, Dana, Angela, Angie, Sabeen, Sydney, Frances and Brenda. This journey would have been impossible without them. Edith’s celebration of life ceremony will be held at Highlands Funeral Home, 3331 Taylorsville Road, Louisville, KY 40205 on Aug. 16, 2018. The visitation will be from 4 to 6 p.m. followed by a memorial service from 6 to 7 p.m. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the Eastern Star Nursing Home (easternstarhomeky.com), 923 Eastern Star Ct., Louisville, KY 40204 or the Smiths Grove Cemetery (smithsgrove.org), Smiths Grove, KY 42171.

He is survived by a son, Micah (Nicole), and three special grandchildren, Isaiah, Finley and Briggs; a daughter; a brother, Steve (Beth Ann) and two nephews. He is also survived by a partner, Brenda Major, that will miss him for the rest of her life. Bob was an artist, a poet, a chef, a photographer and a

lover of travel, art and music. He made this world and those he touched better because of his positive outlook and sense of humor. A celebration of his life will be held at Flame Run, 815 West Market St., on Saturday, August 18, from 5 p.m. on. Anyone who knew Bob and would like to help celebrate his life is welcome to attend.

On his second day home from military service, he met a young woman on the recommendation of his father. Within five months, they were married, which has lasted nearly 72 years. Floyd owned Davis Audubon Drugs for 35 years and was a caring and respected member of the community. He was the local walk-in clinic before the concept was created. He was the consummate peace maker. At Walnut Street Baptist Church, Floyd was a deacon for many years and served on numerous committees, including the board of Baptist Towers. He was invited to join the Veteran’s Drug Club where he served a term as president. He was a member of Lewis-Parkland Masonic Lodge # 638, Scottish Rite and Kosair Shrine. Floyd was a loving patriarch and frequently told his family to, “Love one another!” and he lived by that mantra. He is survived by his wife, Marjorie Bishop Davis; his daughter, Deborah L. Davis; sons, Floyd R. Davis II (Mely)

and Keith E. Davis (Mary Jane); and grandchildren and great grandchildren. Visitation was held on Aug. 14 at Highlands Funeral Home, 3331 Taylorsville Road.

TILESTON III, HARRY BRYANT A bright light has faded into oblivion. Always cheerful and gregarious, Harry Tileston lived 90 years and was active right to the end. “I’m going to wear out, not rust out!” was his motto. Orphaned at the age of 10, Harry lived in the Louisville foster care system until the age of 18 when, after graduating at the top of his class from Anchorage High School, he joined the Army, where he served in the Medical Corps in Osaka, Japan, from 1946-48. Upon his return to Louisville, he married his high school sweetheart, Susie Crask of Middletown, who survives him. They had two sons: Keith (Rose Duvall), who preceded him in death, and David (Marysue), who survives him. He earned a degree from the University of Louisville and was employed by General Electric, retiring as manager of information systems. Harry’s lifelong passion was numismatics and he was widely respected in that world, serving as past

president of both the Louisville Coin Club and Central States, a regional numismatic organization. Harry is survived by three grandchildren, Ashley Kay Tileston, Katie Means (Jonathan) and James Richard Tileston (Cheltzy); two great grandchildren; and many nieces and nephews. He will be missed by everyone who knew him. Funeral Services for Mr. Tileston were held on Aug. 13, 2018 at Ratterman Funeral Home, 12900 Shelbyville Road, East Louisville.

pets of the week Sparky is a one-year-old Jack Russell Terrier mix who came to the Kentucky Humane Society from another shelter. Sparky just loves people and play. He has the energy and the drive of a typical Jack Russell, so he’s looking for a family who can give him plenty to do to keep him out of mischief. He’ll be a great buddy, wanting to learn new things and hang out with any person on the go. Could you give Sparky the love and time he needs? He’s neutered, micro-chipped and up-to-date on his vaccinations. Come meet him today at our adoption center in the Dixie Feeders Supply, 10948 Dixie Highway. For more on Sparky or any of our adoptable animals, please call 502-3663355 or visit kyhumane.org. Meet Moon! Moon is a beautiful, two-year-old cat with gorgeous medium-length fur. She came to the Kentucky Humane Society when her family could no longer care for her and now she’s on the hunt for her true forever home. Moon’s former family describe her as a loyal and cuddly cat who would love a quiet and calm household. Moon is a bit timid when you first meet her but she warms up with time and patience. In her former home, she lived with another female cat and loved playing with her. Moon has also lived with young children but was quiet nervous of them and preferred hanging out with the adults in the home. For this reason, we think she would do best with older children who are calmer. Could you be the one to give this gorgeous girl the forever home she deserves? Moon is spayed, micro-chipped and up-to-date on all vaccinations. She’s waiting at the Kentucky Humane Society adoption center in the Dixie Feeders Supply, 10948 Dixie Highway. For more on Moon or any of our adoptable animals, please visit kyhumane.org or call 502-366-3355. For more on any of our adoptable pets, please call 502.366.3355 or visit kyhumane.org 0 8 . 1 6 . 2 0 1 8 V O I C E -T R I B U N E . C O M
