EDITOR’S NOTE

Letter Editor

Before you dive into this week’s edition of The Voice-Tribune, I want to address the giant elephant (or is that a Cardinal?) in the room: There’s an awful lot of University of Louisville love in this issue. One of our primary goals was to highlight the good work the Petrino Family FROM THE Foundation continues to do for our Louisville community, so it only made sense that we maintained a focus on UofL. And, despite putting out a social media call for amazing Louisville-based tailgates (another feature in this issue), I received zero responses from fans of other colleges and universities calling me out, though I’d have deserved it if they did. That being said, we do feature previews of the upcoming football seasons for Indiana, Kentucky and (go figure) Louisville. And at least one of the UofL tailgaters we interviewed wanted us to mention that all are welcome, regardless of their school affiliation. But still...there’s an awful lot of Louisville love. So, if you support a college team you’d like to see receive some space in these pages – or you’d just like to give me the business for neglecting your team – you can contact me at 502.897.8900 or angie@voice-tribune.com. For the record, I’m a Central Michigan alum who also cheers on the Cards and have been since I moved to Louisville in 2002. I married a UK fan, whose blood runs blue through and through thanks to his mother and late father. In fact, when we learned I was pregnant with our now 2 and 1/2-year-old, we had a super-serious conversation about possible names, godparents and what school she would be raised to support before talking about pretty much everything else in our child’s upbringing. I’m not kidding. We easily came up with a name and the godparents but arrived at an impasse regarding schools. Until, that is, I presented probably the best negotiation offer of my life: Olive, our now-toddler, could be raised a UK fan, but in turn, I was allowed to choose how many and what types of animals we adopted. The offer was accepted and my husband and I now have a UK-loving daughter...along with Jake, a St. Bernard we adopted from Southern Indiana Animal Rescue; Major, a collie, and Haven, a boxer, both from The Arrow Fund; a chiweenie (that’s a chihuahua-weiner dog) named Yoda from Animal Care Society; Ellie, a senior Great Pyrenees we welcomed with open arms when her previous owner had to make the difficult decision to give her up; a former street cat named Wally; and a feline named Dash, who was one of nine kittens my husband found in a field in Henryville (all of the kitties were adopted, by the way). So, every time my husband and daughter don their Cats garb, I don’t cheer along with them – but I smile because their enthusiasm for UK is often punctuated by barks and meows. We Angie Fenton all won with that deal, and we have a lot of fun – and fur. So much fur. Here’s to a great kickoff to football season regardless of which team you support. Editor in Chief

Feeding the Soul

Created in the wake of tragedy, Carole’s Kitchen is feeding the hungry and changing lives By Holly Gregor Photos by Kathryn Harrington

Judy Watson Gordon.

t all fell into place. “Carole sent you to me,” said Judy Watson Gordon to Robert Holmes sitting next to her. That was the beginning of putting the pieces together. The story begins when Carole Crawford died in 2009 at age 45 in a horrific car wreck after being hit by a lifelong drug addict who was high at the time. Carole and Judy were sisters and best friends. They talked on the phone every night. Carole, the third of seven siblings, lived in Huntington, West Virginia, and Judy, the oldest, lived in their hometown in Louisville. Carole called Judy, who was geting a divorce, to check in on her, but they also talked about Carole starting a Thursday night dinner for the students at Marshall University, where she worked, that weren’t getting enough food. She called it Dinner for A Dollar, although if you didn’t have a dollar you could still eat. “Carole was recreating our childhood tradition of eating Sunday dinner after church at our grandmothers house near Churchill Downs,” says Judy. Carole believed those family dinners at her grandmother’s were the foundation for her life.

“It all started around the table,” explains Judy. “It’s about feeding the soul.” Carole’s mission was to not only nourish the young adults with food but connect them to fellow students, to bring their challenges out in the open and to build a community. It had been a couple of years that Dinner for a Dollar was in full swing when Carole abruptly died. Judy was the first to get a call from Carole’s husband. “Pull over and take the keys out. I have to tell you something,” Judy’s brother-in-law instructed her. “Carole and Meaghan died today.” After that, Judy doesn’t remember what happened. There were three people in the car that day. Carole was driving, her 16-year-old daughter Meaghan was in the front seat and 14-year-old Kelsey Kuhn, Meaghan’s best friend’s little sister, was in the back. They all perished. It was a weekday so Carole was taking the kids to school that morning. The usual carpool also included her son Christopher, 17, and Meaghan’s best friend Kendall Kuhn, 16. Just as Chris was about to get in the car, a friend drove up and reminded him they had work after school. Carole told Chris to go get his uniform and ride to school with his friend.

It all started around the table. It’s about feeding the soul. —Judy Watson Gordon

It saved his life. Just as eerily remarkable, Kendall had an eye doctor appointment that morning, so she stayed behind. It turned out they had written the wrong date on her appointment card. It was two days later. As fast as the lives of Judy and her family changed, the healing did not come as fast. They spent seven-and-a-half years in court seeking justice from the addicted woman who caused the accident, the doctor who prescribed the pills to the woman and a handful of pharmacies who filled the prescriptions. The woman was able to obtain so many drugs by visiting a “pill mill” and getting a prescription from a doctor, making copies of the prescription and then taking them to pharmacies in town to be filled. The checks and balances in place at pharmacies at that time did not work. The law has since been changed in the state of West Virginia because of their lawsuit. The last lawsuit was with Subaru, which involved horrific details of mechanical failure and the vehicle’s fuel line catching on fire. It ended in 2017 and was the only suit they lost. During the trial years, Judy and her family showed up as strong as soldiers. Judy, sat next to her mother and each sibling, oldest to youngest, followed suit – stoic, game faces on. “The trials were like duty. We felt the only way we could help them was to seek as much justice as we could get. I feel like as much is humanly possible, we did get justice for them,” exclaims Judy. The woman received three 10-year sentences for every life she took. The trials did take their toll. Judy’s brother-in-law, Carole’s husband, died of cancer before they were over, and her mother died a month after the last trial, also of cancer. For many years, Judy kept asking, “Why, why, why?” As time has passed, she has found more peace. “I do believe everyone’s life has a plan.” As for knowing why, Judy refers to the old country hymn, “We will understand it better by and by.” Looking back on it, Judy isn’t sure how she kept going. “I’m not going to say I didn’t at times feel sorry for myself,” she says. “The fact (that) I was going through a divorce, I was new to real estate and the housing market had just plummeted nationwide and the countless trips to Huntington, West Virginia, to attend the trials began wearing me down.” Judy had been with Kentucky Select for only three years, but in that time she befriended Barbara Osbourne, the head administrator. Barbara would call Judy and say, “Get up, get dressed and get in here. I don’t care how long it takes you.”

The planning committee for Summer Bash Luau, benefitting Blessings in a Backback: Lizzie Watson, Jay Watson, Laurie Gatchell, Steph Horne, Leslie Davis, Judy Watson Gordon, Brooke Feather, Linda Applegate, Karen Brown and Shannon Edwards.

“It was just what I needed,” says Judy, reflecting on how grateful she is to Barbara. The other thing that kept Judy moving forward was continuing the Thursday night dinners her sister started at Marshall University. And within a year of Carole dying, Judy got involved with Blessings In A Backpack, a non-profit program that fills up backpacks with food to take home on the weekends for elementary kids who need it. Both programs were exceedingly helpful because even on her worst day, Judy could say, “I’m not a homeless, hungry child.” Another gift came early on when Judy received a letter from Meaghan, also her god-daughter, in the mail two days after she died. “It said, ‘To my fairy Godmother,’ and ended with, ‘See you at Easter.’ It was like getting a letter from heaven.” “I feel like I fought the good fight and I won the race. But you have to know when to say when. I’m done.” Now, Judy’s therapy to start healing is called Carole’s Kitchen, the non-profit she and her family members – Christopher Crawford, Jay Watson, Susan Graf and Tim Watson –started to honor their sister, continuing what she created at Marshall University in Huntington, West Virginia. With plans to bring Carole’s Kitchen to Louisville, yet not finding a natural path, all that changed when Robert Holmes with Jefferson County Public Schools coincidentally sat next to Judy at a Blessings In A Backpack board meeting. He told Judy about the homeless high school students who don’t have enough to eat. That was in 2016 and

Carole’s Kitchen was soon thereafter created to eliminate barriers that keep children from going to school. “It really does start from food,” she says. “If kids are not getting their basic needs met, that leads to not finishing school, getting into gangs and then drugs. The only thing to do is try to change their lives so they have a chance.” Along with the original Thursday night dinners at Marshall University, Carole’s Kitchen has two food pantries in Louisville high schools – Seneca and Western – and four back-up (to Blessings in a Backpack) food pantries at elementary schools – Wheatley, Engelhard, Frayser and Goldsmith, and more are on the way. Food isn’t the only help they give, but it is their foundation. There’s also a Carole’s Kitchen in Hilton Head, South Carolina where Tim, Judy’s brother, lives. Not long ago, Judy got an email late at night reading, “Do I have to have an ID to get food?” Judy replied, “No, you just have to be hungry.” The woman told Judy she had been praying all night, “How am I going to feed my children?” Judy told the woman, “My sister sent you to me.” That fateful day, Mr. Holmes brought it to Judy’s attention that some kids at Seneca High School were not coming to school because they were hungry. Judy knew exactly what to do: call Patty Frank Kantlehner. Patty and Judy were good friends in high school, but even closer in college when they spent the summer of their freshman year at the University of Kentucky. “In one of our classes, Patty and I watched a show on 0 8 . 2 3 . 2 0 1 8 V O I C E -T R I B U N E .

PBS about the Trojan Horse (a 12th century tale about the Greeks invading the city of Troy inside a wooden horse they built) and that it was still missing somewhere in the desert. Patty said, ‘Wow, we have to go find it.’” Judy continues reminiscing, “We had the best summer. We went to the pool, took dance lessons and planned our Trojan Horse search.” When Judy called Patty to tell her that her alma mater was in trouble, Patty, class of 1976, jumped all in. According to Jefferson County Public Schools, statistics show that Seneca had the second largest homeless population of any high school in Louisville last year. Patty recalls, “When I went to Seneca, it was a really strong academic school. Several famous people graduated from there: Diane Sawyer, Wes Unseld (basketball player) and Mayor Jerry Abramson.” In talking about her alma mater, Patty speaks with a smile on her face and a sense of pride. “We had a real community spirit. It was diverse and we had a good time.” All that came through when Patty and Judy started a food pantry under the umbrella of Carole’s Kitchen, the already existing nonprofit, making the job much easier and faster. Next came reaching out to the alumni. Patty got an amazing response for volunteers, and they even raised $3,500 in a short amount of time. A Seneca graduate, Susie Spurlock Rhode, says, “We need to feed these kids that are walking the same halls that we did.” The alumni have played a large part in the success of the food pantry, but it goes beyond just handing out food. “It’s almost like the stigma of being homeless or hungry goes away,” says Patty. Oftentimes, the connection between the alumni and the students start up conversations along the lines of, “When I went to school here...” “I think you break down the walls of embarrassment,” says Judy. It was just like when Carole started the Thursday night dinners at Marshall University; it was the food that brought them to the table, but it was the conversation that made them stay. “There’s something spiritual about sharing food and sharing a meal. When you’re feeding somebody you’re not just feeding their body – you’re feeding their soul,” says Judy. According to Blessings In A Backpack, 64,000 children in Jefferson County struggle with food insecurity. “It’s really hard for people to believe and they don’t want to think there are homeless, hungry children in their city,” making this problem one of the hardest to raise money for. “I want to shout it from the rooftops!” says Judy. Although not hard to believe, the fact remains that hunger leads to poor school performance, behavioral issues and even psychological problems. So when Patty, Judy and all of the volunteers pass out food for the students, it’s not just about the food. Another case in point is when the volunteers pass out the food, they ask, “What else do you need?” Because of that willingness to help, hygiene products are also given away and a washer and dryer was donated to the school along with other household items that went directly to the families that needed them. Remarkably, Carole’s Kitchen doesn’t have any overhead. All of the money goes directly to the students. Judy and her family do all of the work on their own time. Carole’s Kitchen started out of love and continues because of the love given and received. Patty recounts a student she gave food to recently. “She had four brothers and sisters and two grannies. She asked me, ‘What can I take?’ I told her, ‘Whatever you need.’ She walked away with the biggest smile on her face and said, ‘We’re going to have a party tonight.’” Patty is still amazed by the happiness the students show for something many of us take for granted. “It just feels so good.” Patty’s parting words, “We may not have found the Trojan Horse yet, but by God we can start a food pantry.” VT

hile Apple Patch started as a grassroots effort, it has since evolved into a far-reaching, all-inclusive organization for individuals with disabilities. To learn more about what the nonprofit has in the works, we spoke with Director of Development Linda Romine.

APPLE PATCH 7408 Hwy. 329, Crestwood applepatch.org 502.657.0103

HOW THEY HAVE GROWN Apple Patch was started 30 years ago by a small group of concerned parents. “A generation ago, (these) parents had a vision for a better path forward for their children with disabilities centered around independent living and learning,” said Romine. “This vision became Apple Patch. Thirty years later, the organization’s services have expanded from a few group homes to include wait-listed residential, employment and community support programs.”

WHO THEY ARE HELPING

More than 200 Apple Patch participants, family members and staff boogied to music from the 1990s at an annual summer dance earlier this month at CityPlace in downtown LaGrange.

Since 1988, Apple Patch has grown into a system of services including 23 residences, four community engagement centers (day programs), a supported employment program and one-on-one support and case management. “We help people with intellectual and developmental disabilities lead fulfilling lives of inclusion in our community,” explained Romine. “We’re not just a place but a support system to help individuals live their best lives.” Apple Patch supports more than 300

THE GIVE FOR GOOD GOAL While taking part in Give For Good Louisville on Sept. 13, Apple Patch is preparing for a big day. “We have a celebration planned for our direct support professionals to thank them for their dedication to the people we support,” said Jennifer O’Bryan, the organization’s executive assistant, who took the lead on the nonprofit’s Give For Good participation in 2017. “There will be food, games, raffle prizes and plenty of fun for everyone on this giving day. We’ll be live streaming our event in conjunction with Give For Good Louisville to show our donors the support it takes to keep our organization going for another 30 years. In 2017, we raised close to $18,000, which is up from the $1,100 raised in 2016.”

PREPARING FOR THE 30TH ANNIVERSARY PICNIC The 30th Anniversary Picnic, which is 1 to 5 p.m. Sept. 9 at Foxhollow Farm, will act as a fundraiser, with all proceeds going to Apple Patch and its efforts to provide support to people with disabilities. The picnic, which is open to the public, will also be a community celebration for Apple Patch’s 30-year history and offer a peek into its exciting future. Community members are invited to join in the festivities, including delicious food from Duck Duck Beet, live music by Danny Flanigan and Delafaye, hayrides, face paint0 8 . 2 3 . 2 0 1 8 V O I C E -T R I B U N E .

ing, inflatables, family musical activities, kids’ games and more. The $20 per vehicle parking pass includes a picnic meal of barbecue (beef, chicken or vegetarian), sweet-potato salad and mac & cheese; and $5 wristbands provide access to all activities. Passes may be purchased in advance at LouisvilleTickets.com. “This picnic celebrates several exciting changes for Apple Patch, including new additions to the board of directors and the opening of an 8,000-square-foot, state-of-the-art community engagement center in Crestwood this fall,” affirmed Romine.

HOW WE CAN HELP Romine advises that the community can help in three primary ways: giving, learning and engaging. Give because every contribution makes a difference. Visit applepatch.org to donate. Learn by attending one of the free, hour-long Lunch & Learn sessions at 11:30 a.m. Oct. 3, Nov. 7 or Dec. 5. (Please RSVP to info@ applepatch.org.)

Nonprofit News WATERFRONT BOTANICAL GARDENS ANNOUNCES $500,000 MATCH GRANT FROM GEORGE DUTHIE IN MEMORY OF HIS LATE WIFE, MARY LEE DUTHIE. To date, George Duthie has donated $1.2 million to the Waterfront Botanical Gardens in memory of his late wife, Mary Lee Duthie, an avid gardener. Recently, Mr. Duthie announced an additional $500,000 match grant to help the progression of Phase One of the project. The match grant is open for the remainder of 2018 and will close on Dec. 31. The 1:1 match includes new donations and (signed) pledges to the non-profit organization. It does not include government funds. In exchange for the family’s commitment to the project, the plaza and gardens surrounding the Graeser Family Education Center will be named the Mary Lee Duthie Gardens. This will include various gardens, water features, seating, a tree allée and an overlook to Beargrass Creek. The Duthie family stated that their hope is that their father’s commitment will incentivise new donors to get “off the fence” and step up to support this project. This grant and the matching funding will help Waterfront Botanical Gardens in their efforts to raise the additional $7 million needed to complete the entirety of Phase One, which includes the Graeser Family Education Center, the Mary Lee Duthie Gardens (pollinator, Kentucky native, edible and display gardens), the Beargrass Creek Overlook, tree allée, greenhouse, workshop and classroom. Executive director Kasey Maier stated, “We are honored to name these first gardens for Mary Lee Duthie. This is an amazing legacy for her and the entire Duthie family.” Construction on the site has been underway since November of 2017.

The family already has put in 400 hours of sweat equity to assist with other home builds. The property (13504 Park Springs Lane, Louisville, KY, 40245) is located in Park Springs, a mixed-income development in eastern Jefferson County that features walking trails and green space. Habitat will build at least 27 of the planned 96 energy star-certified homes, and at least 52 percent of them will serve low-to-moderate income homebuyers. “Our agents and staff understand that – as Dorothy said in The Wizard of Oz – ‘There’s

no place like home,’” said Semonin sales manager and project coordinator Stacy Durbin. “Semonin has worked to make ‘home’ a reality for people for more than 100 years, and we feel a great sense of pride in helping this deserving family achieve their dream.”

BREEDERS’ CUP AND MAKER’S MARK® RENEW PARTNERSHIP AND CHAMPIONS FOR CHARITY COMMEMORATIVE BOTTLE PROGRAM

rd Forwa ng n o i h s i Fa t spend u o h t i . w ne a Fortu

Breeders’ Cup, one of Thoroughbred horse racing’s most prestigious international events, and Maker’s Mark®, the original premium bourbon, recently announced the renewal of the brands’ multi-year partnership and Champions for Charity program, which began in 2015 with the goal of raising money for local and Thoroughbred-industry charities. The new three-year partnership will continue the tradition of creating limited-edition collections of Maker’s Mark bottles that will be released in conjunction with the 2018, 2019 and 2020 Breeders’ Cup World Championships and will be auctioned surrounding each event. In addition to the creation of the special bottles, Maker’s Mark also will be the Exclusive Bourbon of the Breeders’ Cup and a first-time title sponsor of the Maker’s Mark Breeders’ Cup Filly & Mare Turf for the 2018 event.

Hours Mon–Sat 10–5 pm Thurs 10–8 pm

The second collection of limited-edition Maker’s Mark bottles will kick off in 2018, featuring Breeders’ Cup’s most legendary champions. The 2018 bottle will feature D. Wayne Lukas, the all-time leading trainer in Breeders’ Cup history. The design of the 2019 and 2020 bottles will be announced during their respective years.

Public Notice

Fans can begin securing bottles now through the Champions for Charity website: breederscup.com/champions-for-charity. Bottle fulfillment and pick up information will be announced in the coming weeks. Proceeds from the 2018 auction will support Old Friends Thoroughbred Retirement Farms and the Kentucky Derby Museum. Past bottles have featured Zenyatta, one of the most beloved Breeders’ Cup winners of all time and the first horse to win two different Breeders’ Cup races, and Cigar, the first American racehorse to win 16 consecutive races against top-class competition since 1950. “The inaugural Champions for Charity program proved successful with our loyal fans and industry supporters, so we were eager to renew our partnership with Maker’s Mark,” said Craig Fravel, president and CEO of the Breeders’ Cup. “With the 2018 event taking place in Kentucky, the birthplace of bourbon, this is a perfect moment to kick off a new chapter of the Champions for Charity program. We also thank Maker’s Mark for its expanded partnership with the 0 8 . 2 3 . 2 0 1 8 V O I C E -T R I B U N E . C O M

School Means Back to Fitness By Jeff Howard

18

id you indulge in too many cookouts, pool parties and lazy days this summer? Unfortunately, it’s that time of year when kids go back to school and you go back to rigorous routines. Although it’s great to get the kids out of the house and back into the classroom, it’s also the time for schedule overload and countless after-school obligations. In preparation for a brand new school year, take some time to reset and make sure you are getting back to fitness and exercise. This may sound overwhelming at first when you consider adding a workout to an already crazy schedule, but with some planning and a positive mindset you will be off to a happy, healthy and less stressful school year. Preparation and planning can be the difference between organization and chaos. When it comes to exercising, that strategy shouldn’t be any different. Making a weekly or monthly calendar of your work schedule, school functions, appointments and other responsibilities is a great way to get your school year in order. By doing this, you can identify the best time each day to fit in exercise. Even if you only have three 10-minute breaks throughout the day to squeeze in a workout, it’s better than doing nothing or making up an excuse. After all, coming up with excuses burns zero calories. Plus, if you add up those short workout periods, then

you will find yourself getting in 30 minutes of exercise that day – it all adds up. By planning, organizing and mixing in a quick workout here and there, you can be well on your way to a new way of life. Let this school year be the year that you make the changes to be more active and make exercising a priority. There’s no magic formula. Just discover what you enjoy and what works for you and your family. Here are some tips to get you started:

1. MEAL PLAN Meal planning can mean different things to different people, but doing some form of it will help you meet your goals. Planning out your meals will save time and stress and ensure that you eat healthy. The weeks I don’t meal plan are the weeks we eat out more and eat fewer vegetables. Here are some ideas you can try: • Plan out 6-8 weeks worth of meal plans, make grocery lists and rotate these plans throughout the school year. • Pick a day and spend an hour or so prepping things like lunches, snacks or dinners for the week. If your kids are old enough, teach them to help you. • Shop online. If you have a grocery store that offers this, order your food 0 8 . 2 3 . 2 0 1 8 V O I C E -T R I B U N E . C O M


LIFE

online and pick it up. I save way more than that by avoiding impulse buys. You know exactly what you’re getting and how much you will spend. Make freezer meals in advance to use on those busy nights.

2. FIND AN EXERCISE THAT YOU ENJOY If you hate what you’re doing, you will find every excuse in the world to avoid it. Find a way to exercise that you’ll actually enjoy, and make sure it’s effective for your body, works for your lifestyle and fits your schedule. If groups energize you, join a running club or a fitness class. If you still have problems getting in a workout most days of the week, then consider hiring a personal trainer. Personal trainers motivate their clients and teach them the proper mechanics of exercises to ensure safety. You can also find a workout buddy. See if you can find someone who has a similar schedule as you and sign up for a small group training together – it’s less expensive and more fun. This holds you accountable, makes workouts more enjoyable and can even create a little fun competition to keep you going. If a workout buddy isn’t an option, find someone to check in with you about your exercising and eating habits. Knowing someone will ask is often a good enough motivator. Back to school can be a busy time, and some may only have time for early morning, late at night or as-fast-as-possible workouts. If you fit that description, I recommend you try an exercise at home – simply get moving!

3. SCHEDULE YOUR WORKOUTS Whether or not you get an adrenaline rush from crossing things off a list, most parents need a to-do list and schedule to stay sane. Plan your workout times in advance and put it on a calendar or list. Then, use the power of technology to remind you that it’s time to exercise. Another great way to stick to your workouts during the back-to-school madness is to get your workout clothing and shoes laid out and ready to go the night before. This saves you time and is an awesome reminder before you leave the house. You can also keep a gym bag in the front seat of your vehicle as a constant reminder.

Even if you only have three 10-minute breaks throughout the day to squeeze in a workout, it’s better than doing nothing not practice that sport with them? Even if you aren’t a pro athlete, tossing your child’s basketball can mean great quality time and a chance for you to get moving. Bike rides and walks are also good options. And finally, do what you can and don’t put pressure on yourself to be perfect. No one is perfect. Remember that your kids need a healthy parent if possible, so exercise and healthy eating are great places to start. Making these habits a priority will show them a great example. It will also remind them that although you love them to pieces, you’re not their employee and deserve some you time. VT

4. PLAY WITH YOUR KIDS Play with and enjoy time with your kids. If you’re tired and need extra motivation, even just walking by them while they play on the playground will improve your health. Push them on the swings or play with them in a sandbox. If your kids play sports, why 0 8 . 2 3 . 2 0 1 8 V O I C E -T R I B U N E . C O M

Mellwood Interactive Art Show

he Mellwood Art and Entertainment Center is ready to make a splash – literally – with its 10th annual September Art Show from 11 a.m. until 5 p.m. on Sept. 8 and 9 at the sprawling arts complex. The free, family-friendly art show will also see the launch of the Mellwood Interactive Art Show. The show will feature more than 50 local artists who have created a combination of paintings, sculptures, jewelry, digital art, industrial art, wood pieces and more. Live interactive art will be performed throughout the day, including creative children’s activities, face painting, sand and tie-dye art stations, a photo station and live mural art designed by noted artist Braylyn Resko Stewart. The event will also feature yoga, Zumba and performances by CirqueLouis, Fierce Dance Academy and MM Voice Studio. New to this year’s event is the balloon-fueled “Splash into History.” Participants will purchase two balloons filled with paint for $1 and throw the balloons onto the metal layout of the Mellwood building directly facing Mellwood Avenue. “Not only is this a fun way to create art and support a local charity, but after the show, the metal pieces will be taken from the

building and crafted into sculptures by local artists,” said Bridget Clark, creative director of Mellwood Art and Entertainment Center. “The sculptures will remain on site at Mellwood, making participants a part of history.” Mellwood is donating all proceeds from the balloon splash to Gilda’s Club Louisville, which provides support for men, women and children living with cancer. Since opening in 2007, Gilda’s Club Louisville has served 7,500 people living with 55 different types of cancer. One quarter of those served are children. “Through free programs that include more than 100 monthly support groups, lectures, workshops, healthy lifestyles offerings and social activities, Gilda’s Club brings education, camaraderie and laughter to its members so that no one faces cancer alone,” said Suzanne Goldring, marketing and communications director for Gilda’s Club Louisville. “We are ecstatic that this year’s Interactive Art Show is supporting the mission of Gilda’s Club Louisville. Their mission ensuring no one is alone when facing cancer is a mirror of the community of artists we are building here at Mellwood Art Center,” said Clark. 0 8 . 2 3 . 2 0 1 8 V O I C E -T R I B U N E .

“We are fortunate to have such an abundance of talented, philanthropic artists in our community,” added Goldring. “Art offers an opportunity to express feelings in ways that no other outlet can. Art is healing, and we are grateful that the families living with cancer in our community will benefit from this innovative event.” Clark is eager for this year’s show at Mellwood Art and Entertainment Center, which has come a long way from its decades as the Fischer Meat Packing Company. The former plant was renovated into a 360,000-squarefoot home to more than 200 artist studios, four event rooms, specialty stores, galleries, teaching studios, office spaces, rehearsal spaces, dance studios, gyms and more. “We are constantly renovating new areas to expand our community and retail areas,” said Clark. “We will start construction on our largest room yet in 2018. We constantly strive to promote local businesses and artisans.” It’s business as usual – or unusual – which is what Clark enjoys. She took over the reigns as creative director of the Mellwood Art and Entertainment Center in 2016. She arrived in Louisville from New York City, where she worked in the fashion industry and created her own ceramic company. “Mellwood is significantly intertwined in the already thriving artists community that surrounds Louisville,” said Clark. “Creating an artistic synergy between Mellwood and the community ensures that the facility and its patrons will continue to flourish with the evolving artists that envelop Louisville. “In today’s world, I feel it is more important than ever to hold artistic and creative outlets at a higher regard,” added Clark. “Expressing yourself through art creates a continual conversation between people that no social barrier can stop.” VT

Locals who love football season share their enthusiasm

A utumn means the return of football season and the countless fans who are eager to support their favorite teams. The tradition of tailgating adds even more excitement to the season, and for some people, the ritual plays a massive role. To get a closer look at the experience, we spoke with a group of veteran tailgaters to talk about the food, fun and friendship of it all. Joe Kelly, who works for ESPN Radio, is a former University of Louisville student and a passionate Cards fan who has been tailgating for 14 years. This season, he and his friends are collaborating with FDKY BBQ, 93.9 The Ville, TheCrunchZone.com and Red Rage Tailgate to host five epic pregame parties at the Tailgating Caboose. The food is free from FDKY and beer is too, thanks to Great Flood Brewing. Kelly and the team just ask that anyone who stops by to consider dropping some money into the bucket for the Make-AWish Foundation. “If you don’t have anything to eat or a grill to use, come by and we’ll feed you,” he affirmed. Kelly revels in the fun with his wife of nine years, Melissa Kelly, who also loves the experience. “I love sports, so any time there’s anything sports-related going on where we can get together with people, it’s an awesome experience,” she said. “We’ve even been to hockey games and tailgated for those as well.” But, the Kellys maintain, tailgating is about much more than sports. “It’s a real family atmosphere,” Melissa explained. “A lot of times there’s anxiety around the game, and you need to chill out, have some barbecue and meet some people. We’ve made a lot of friends, we see old friends and we enjoy good food.” Joe and Melissa’s friends Tom and Elisa Farmer are also avid tailgaters and UofL fans. Additionally, Tom is president of the Louisville Coopers, the independent supporter organization for Louisville City FC, which makes him a pro at organizing fan events. “It’s not about one sport versus another,” said Tom. “It’s really about getting a lot of

people together and enjoying it as much as possible. Joe and I are looking forward to bringing all of the various tailgating elements together, and we should have a lot of fun this year.” Dave Scull has tailgated since the age of eight and played as a walk-on for UofL’s football team in 2002. He especially enjoys the sense of camaraderie and unity. “I love the culture of it,” he said. “There’s nothing like it. We wait for this all year, and we’ve been going stir crazy all summer just waiting for the first football game.” For those who have little to no tailgating experience, everyone we spoke with agreed that self awareness and hydration are key to having a good time. Drinking plenty of water, wearing sunscreen and pacing yourself can mean the difference between a great day and a complete disaster. With the right food (particularly barbecue) and friends (old or new), it’s undeniable that tailgating is an activity any fan can enjoy. “Come one, come all,” Scull said. “Everybody’s welcome. It’s an egalitarian society out there. Come out and have a beer with us.” VT

t is hard to think of football without the time-honored tradition of tailgating. Food. Fans. Drinks. All celebrated from the back of a pick-up truck outside of a stadium. For friends Bill Jones, Kevin Weatherholt, Bryan Byars, Craig Pennington, Justice Jones and Garrett Hoover, tailgating has become a whole new ball game. When Collision Course Crew started two years ago, the guys had set out to change the face of tailgating for not just their friends and family but for the entire football community in the Louisville area. “We started tailgating out of the back of our pick-up truck,” says Bill, “and we thought, ‘Hey, let’s do something bigger. Let’s get our own trailer.’” Collision Course Crew’s 20 feet by 8 feet, totally renovated trailer proves that tailgating is not just hanging out in trucks and passing time before the start of a game. Oh no. For these guys and girls, tailgating is where the fun truly happens. And it has become a way of life. “The Red Rage Tailgate (which has been featured on ESPN’s ‘SportsCenter’ three times) really started it all and is known for the cool University of Louisville memorabilia they have. We are more of a mobile sports bar. That’s our niche,” explains Bryan. 0 8 . 2 3 . 2 0 1 8 V O I C E -T R I B U N E . C O M

“But we aren’t Red Rage,” inserts Bill. “We are Collision Course Crew. We want to be the next big thing.” Heading into their second season, Collision Course is ready to debut on Sept. 8 with a number of upgrades. With a state-of-the-art sound system, deejay software, fully-equipped bar and bowling alley bar top, multiple big screen television sets and more, the crew is excited and prepped to cheer on their University of Louisville Cards on the corner of Crittenden Drive by Cardinal Café. “Most of our gear has been donated,” says Craig. “It’s been great and we are really thankful.” Last year, Collision Course’s trip to Indianapolis brought out a record high of 250 fans. “This year, we don’t want to do only home games,” explains Craig. “We are planning to travel to a number of away games, too. Indy was awesome! We want to see more of that.” Kevin expresses his hopes to really put Louisville and Collision Course Crew on the map as one of the “tailgating musts.” “If you go to a place like (Utah State University) or Alabama, tailgating parties like this are a normal thing. I want UofL football to be ‘big boy football.’ I want people to drive hundreds of miles to come tailgating.” So, what if red and black aren’t exactly your team’s colors? No worries. There is room for you, too, at Collision Course Crew. “We have Kentucky fans that come hang out with us too,” says Garrett. “We don’t care who you cheer for. If you come, you are going to be welcome no matter what. You are part of the family.” Young, old, male or female, all are welcome and encouraged to experience what tailgating is all about at Collision Course Crew. You don’t even need tickets to the game. In fact, the crew prides themselves on creating a truely fun football environment without any of the negative stereotypes of tailgating. “We don’t discriminate at all and I really love that,” says Sallie, Craig’s fiancé. “We aren’t just a bunch of drunk frat boys either. We really have a range of ages that come. It’s a real family environment. “You can get the whole atmosphere and not have to go to the game,” she adds. Once an idea among six friends, now a staple in the University of Louisville tailgating scene, Collision Course Crew hopes to blaze the trail for other tailgaters. “This is just the start for us,” explains Bill. “We want to inspire people to start their own things, too. Hopefully, this turns into a parking lot full of other trailers, all of us together having a good time, making new friends and enjoying the fact that we all have at least one thing in common – we love football.” VT

The Petrino Family Foundation’s profound fundraising efforts continue

The Petrino Family Foundation gives back to the community in dozens of ways, many of which involve partnership with Uof L. The foundation’s Cardinal Covenant Scholarship ensures a full college education to a financially disadvantaged Kentucky student whose family lives at or below 150 percent of the poverty level. The scholarship’s inaugural recipient, Ra’vonte Harbin, is set to graduate this coming spring. The foundation also facilitates a Courage Camp for patients at Norton Children’s Hospital. Each year, 100 children from the hospital are invited – along with their siblings – to participate in a half-day football camp with the universiBy Baylee Pendleton ty’s football team. This spring, the foundation partnered Photos by Kathryn Harrington with the City of Louisville to donate $100,000 to set up the Louisville Flood Relief Fund as part of its #LoveLouisville campaign. Families displaced or affected by the devastating flooding this year were able to apply for up to $1,000 to assist with emergency expenses and recovery. Petrino Scott described her role of executive director as multifaceted: “A lot of what I do is event planning. I also get to go out and visit different charities and organizations around Louisville. I do a lot of community building work and projects, graphic design-type stuff, social media marketing and PR and office management The Petrino family loves type stuff.

Members of the foundation also look forward to their 2019 fundraising events, the Evening of X’s and O’s Dinner at Churchill Downs and the Spring Golf Classic & Cocktail Party. “The Petrino family loves this community so much,” Wagner affirmed, “and I love seeing how much the foundation has given back to the city.” VT

s summer draws to a close and cooler weather approaches, so does college football season. Our city shines in the fall, and the Petrino Family Foundation uses this time to facilitate its charitable work in a special way. We caught up with executive director Kelsey Petrino Scott and board member Joey Wagner of the Petrino Family Foundation to discuss the organization’s history, how it has evolved over time and its exciting new initiatives. The foundation was created in 2014 by University of Louisville head football coach Bobby Petrino and his family. The organization began its charitable work with a commitment to Norton Children’s Hospital to fund a new trauma room, now named the Petrino Family Foundation Trauma Room. By the end of 2018, the foundation will have donated $850,000 to the children’s hospital. Since its inception, the foundation has added several new initiatives, including a popular and festive fundraising event, the Petrino Family Foundation Tailgate Party. Celebrating five years this season, the tailgate parties open three hours before every Uof L home game and are held inside the Trager Center (the Cardinal football team’s indoor practice facility). Petrino Scott loves the atmosphere created at the events. “Our tailgaters get to tailgate on an exact replica of the Cardinal Football playing field,” she said. “We have a rotating menu of locally-catered food, and each guest gets two drinks on the house (in addition to water and sodas being free). We have exclusive performances by the marching band and national championship-winning (Ladybirds), pregame on-field access opportunities, bouncy houses and new this year, a corn-hole tournament.” Tailgaters can choose from several sponsorship levels ranging from $100 to $30,000. Wagner commented on the 2017 event: “Last year was the most successful year of our tailgates. Proceeds from the tailgate helped benefit Norton Children’s Hospital, the Petrino Family Foundation Scholarship, the Student Marching Band, the Uof L Spirit Team, Family Scholar House, Blessings in a Backpack, 2018 Louisville Flood Relief, Jamon Brown Foundation, the Coalition for the Homeless, Fund for the Arts, Kids Cancer Alliance and the Parklands.” By the end of 2018, the foundation will have donated $222,250 to these organizations and others.

O Ready to Roll Predictions for UofL Football this season

By Jeff Nunn Photos courtesy of University of Louisville Athletics

34

n Sept. 1 in Orlando, Florida, the Louisville Cardinals will begin their 100th football season as they take on the Alabama Crimson Tide. It’s never ideal to start your season off playing the defending national champions. To make matters worse, Louisville will attempt to pull off the upset while trying to replace Heisman trophy-winning quarterback Lamar Jackson, replacing seven starters on defense – including two of their top tacklers from last season – and implementing a new defense, as they have their third defensive coordinator in three years. This team definitely has challenges in front of them, yet they look at them as opportunities. There is absolutely no question this year’s version of the Cardinals are ready to get out on the field and prove to everyone that their youth and inexperience will not prevent them from having a great season. Their attitude is positive and it’s contagious. Louisville is coming off one of the most prolific offensive seasons ever, so naturally you should expect a drop-off. Well, maybe not as much as you would think. The scoring may not decrease but you won’t see as many flashy highlight plays. Led by redshirt sophomore quarterback Jawon Pass, Louisville should continue to be one of the top offenses in the country. Jawon is a dual-threat quarterback who is best described as a player who isn’t necessarily a running quarterback but can easily get you 10 yards if needed.

Jawon will have an embarrassment of riches to throw the ball to. Louisville has one of the deepest and most talented groups of receivers in the country. The “Big Three” receivers include Jaylen Smith, who flirted with entering the NFL draft before deciding to return for his senior year; sophomore Dez Fitzpatrick, who is primed for a monster year after setting the Louisville freshman touchdown record with nine last season; and junior Seth Dawkins, who is as steady as they come and a big play threat on every snap. Since about 2010, Louisville consistently ranked in the top 25 in total defense, but last season they finished a disappointing 62nd, giving up a whopping 388.1 yards per game. The defense is again the biggest question and the key to the season. New defensive coordinator Brian VanGorder – who coached in the NFL as well as at Notre Dame, Georgia, Auburn and other schools – looks to get the Cards defense back to a reputable level. The wise-guys in Las Vegas have set the win total for Louisville at 6.5. My opinion is that they are weighing the loss of Lamar Jackson a bit too heavily. The Cards will most likely lose to Alabama and Clemson and beat Indiana State and Western Kentucky. The remaining eight games are all going to be close battles. Louisville is somewhere between a six-win team and a 10-win team. It all comes down to the defense. I feel confident that Louisville wins eight games but wouldn’t be shocked if they finish at 9-3.

S Who Will Hand Off to Benny Snell? Another SEC football season, another huddle full of questions for Big Blue Nation.

By Steve Kaufman Photos courtesy of University of Kentucky Athletics

36

Tavin Richardson.

o here we go again. University of Kentucky football, the Rodney Dangerfield of the SEC, don’t get no respect. It’s true that Alabama would laugh at the Wildcats’ recent “accomplishments” – two straight seven-win seasons and two straight bowl appearances. For long-suffering Kentucky football, it’s all part of longer-range expectations. But leading where? In the sixth season of the Mark Stoops Era, should Big Blue Nation expect one small step? Or a giant leap? Or a step backwards? On the one hand, the Cats are loaded with experience – on the big offensive line and in the defensive backfield. They have the SEC’s leading rusher returning. They have some enticing returnees, like the triple-threat Lynn Bowden; the All-American candidate Josh Allen; and the torpedo of energy Kash Daniel, who looks like he’ll play a big role on the linebacking crew. Also back is senior safety Mike Edwards, who received so many accolades after his junior year. Wideout Dorian Baker is back after missing last year with an injury. He’s a senior now and should be more focused and reliable than the promising young colt of a couple of years ago. The dream corner team of Derek Baity and Chris Westry is back, too. They didn’t miss last season – not with injuries, anyhow – but neither did they live up to the hype they were seemingly poised to earn. In fact, with free safety Darius West, it’s a full package of seniors back there. Tight end C.J. Conrad is being talked about in the all-SEC – even All-American – conversation. And his replacement last year, Justin Rigg, looks like he could start for a lot of the conference’s teams. But both have a history of injuries. Healthy? We all know what a good tight end brings to the offense. Not healthy? A great big question mark in UK’s game plan. There’s also a promising crew of wide receivers coming back – Tavin Richardson,

Terry Wilson.

Josh Ali, Isaiah Epps and Clevan Thomas, as well as Bowden. And a ton of good-looking freshmen receivers. But freshmen, as we know, equal questions. There are other questions, as well. Kentucky will have to replace Austin MacGinnis, perhaps the greatest placekicker in UK history. Freshman Chance Poore and senior Miles Butler are competing for the kicking tee. Also a whole new Australian rugby-style punter. Matt Panten didn’t hurt the team at all last year, but he’s gone. Say “g’day, mate” to Max Duffy. Senior linebacker Jordan Jones – the breakout star of 2016 turned problem child of 2017 – is back. But which Jones will show up? Hopefully not the one who imploded against Louisville last November. Plus, speaking of the LBs, they’re unexpectedly going to have to find replacements for Denzil Ware (transferred) and Josh Paschal (ill). More questions? Oh, yeah, the one everyone in BBN is talking about except the coaches: Who will hand the ball off to Benny Snell? The QB job has to be much more than that, of course, and three completely inexperienced candidates are vying for the job. The winner will carve out the offense on his own terms. In one corner, JC-transfer Terry Wilson, a Stephen Johnson-like dual threat but a stronger passer – and perhaps a better runner, as well. In the other corner, Gunnar Hoak, a classic drop-back pocket QB. (In the third corner is Danny Clark, the Massillon, Ohio, lefty whose recruitment sent tremors through BBN just two years ago.) However any of them can or cannot run, taking the next step up will depend on which of the three throws the best, the deepest, the most accurately and the most dependably, something that was sorely missed the last two seasons. Still, those were bowl-game seasons. Parting the Red Sea and reaching the Promised Land might well depend on which quarterback is handed the scrolls. VT 0 8 . 2 3 . 2 0 1 8 V O I C E -T R I B U N E .

W Culture Shock

How Indiana University Football can achieve more By Jim Biery Photos courtesy of Indiana University Athletics

38

hat is culture shock? By definition, it is the feeling of disorientation experienced by someone who is suddenly subjected to an unfamiliar culture, way of life or set of attitudes. I would say this applies to Indiana football, especially the part about an unfamiliar culture and set of attitudes. You see, the culture and attitude of the team desperately need to change. For far too long, the way of life for this team is to play sub-500 win/loss football. In the last five seasons, the Hoosiers have a combined record of 26-35. They haven’t had a winning season since 2007. It also doesn’t help that they lost to That Team Up North (Purdue) to fail and qualify for a bowl game. Yes, I believe a culture shock would be a really, really good thing for the program and for its loyal fan base. In order to create a change of culture, you need to start at the very core of the team. Each and every player must improve individually so the whole team becomes better. This is possible. Actually, the blueprint has already been shown to be effective; Purdue proved that last year. With basically the same returning players, they were able to not only make a bowl, but they won it. The key is to make each player believe they are better than they are each and every day. The person in charge of this is Head Football Coach Tom Allen. He will start his second full season this year and understands that in order to complete his contractual obligations until 2022, the winning must start now.

But it won’t be easy. This year’s schedule will be difficult to say the least. Then again, any time you play in the Big 10, it will always be hard. The Hoosiers play Ohio State and Michigan on the road. They last beat the Buckeyes in 1988. Home games include games against Michigan State, Penn State and the season ending annual battle for the Old Oaken Bucket. The Spartans are perennial contenders for the Big 10 title, and Penn State is 20-1 all time against IU. The rest of the schedule offers hope, however. Virginia, Ball State, Iowa, Maryland, Florida International University and Rutgers are all winnable games. Three of last year’s games came down to a touchdown or less of winning, including an overtime loss to the Wolverines. The change of culture may have already begun. Wide receiver Nick Westbrook returns from a torn ACL last year and hopes to return to the form that made him an All-Big 10 Honorable Mention in 2016. He recently was added to the Fred Biletnikoff Watch List for the best WR in the nation. IU also will have the services of Arizona transfer Brandon Dawkins to compete for the quarterback position. Recruiting got a big boost by landing QB Michael Penix Jr., who chose Indiana over schools such as Tennessee, Arizona, Oregon and even Florida State. My prediction for this year’s team and what might kickstart the culture change would be a six-win season and possibly seven, that is if they can reclaim the Old Oaken Bucket from That Team Up North.

hen I heard Susan Seiler, former owner of Jack Fry’s restaurant, was working her magic at Shaker Village, I knew it was time to hop in the car and see what all the hype was about. Susan (and everyone else I met there) welcomed me with open arms as I walked into The Trustees Table restaurant, her domain at Shaker Village. The menu is a delight, offering seed-to-table options and everything is from their garden located just beyond the dining room windows. Best of luck deciding where to begin should you decide to pay a visit. Don’t worry about overeating; the property is designed so that you are inspired to walk about. “It has been so rewarding to create, with chef Amber Hokams, a vision for our restaurant, which incorporates our beautiful, organic, one-and-a-half acre garden from which we create seasonal menus,” Susan commented. “Although we serve many Southern dishes, we have introduced other culinary elements to create new signature dishes. We are committed to locally-sourced meats and

produce. Our guests can trust the integrity of what we serve as we continue to provide the hospitality for which the Shakers were known.” Chef Amber Hokams is a force to be reckoned with as she makes daily selections from the garden for the menu. I was lucky enough to get an invite to step into the kitchen for a minute, snap a few pictures and take a walk in the garden with her. Amber said, “It’s a privilege to be the chef at a place that truly encompasses the concept of seed to table. It’s my desire to incorporate fresh ingredients into a menu which truly exemplifies the lifestyle Shakers lived by.” Chief Marketing Officer Amy Bugg believes there is a peaceful yet transformative feeling about Shaker Village that’s impossible to put into words or translate through marketing images. “The best way to experience it is to spend the night here, walk the turnpike (the main gravel path that runs through the village) at dawn or dusk and soak in the sights and sounds of central Kentucky alongside the fireflies,” Amy said. “I promise you won’t be disappointed.” She was right.

formative for me, and for a while, the stress of life drifted away – especially after dinner. I strolled out onto the lawn, nestled into one of the Adirondack chairs surrounding the fire pit and listened to the music being played by local musician Nicholas Penn. I could’ve fallen asleep right there listening to the sounds of the night, but I was off to the comfy bed waiting for me in one of the cottages, located just a short walk down the turnpike. The next morning, leaving Shaker Village was no easy task, as it offers such a reprieve from the busy life we all lead. But, I was off to the next adventure just down the road to the Woodlands Art Fair in Lexington. Artists from all over the country set up exhibits, and the people were from all walks of life. One exhibit caught my eye: jewelry by Stacey Chinn that incorporates elements found in nature. It was absolutely stunning, but I managed to escape without buying a thing, except a parking ticket in the nearby lot. Whether you’re ready for summer to end or not, cooler temperatures are on the way. I for one am looking forward to wearing my sweaters and hopefully spending more time around the firepit at Shaker Village while I tap my toe to the live music and find a little tranquility in central Kentucky.

Business Briefs BAPTIST HEALTH LOUISVILLE RANKS NO. 1 IN METRO AREA AND NO. 3 IN KENTUCKY IN 2018-19 U.S. NEWS & WORLD REPORT LISTING Baptist Health has two of Kentucky’s top three hospitals – Baptist Health Lexington, ranked second, and Baptist Health Louisville, ranked third – in the 2018-19 U.S. News & World Report Best Hospitals rankings. Baptist Health Louisville was also named No. 1 in Metro Louisville – the sixth time in seven years that it has been either No. 1 or tied for No. 1. Both hospitals are listed as being “Recognized in the Bluegrass Region” which encompasses Louisville and Lexington. The rankings, now in their 29th year, recognize hospitals that excel in caring for patients and are designed to assist patients and their doctors in identifying a hospital that best meets their needs. “This national recognition confirms what our patients tell us – that Baptist Health hospitals provide the very best of care,” said Baptist Health CEO Gerard Colman. “These rankings also illustrate the daily commitment of our physicians, nurses and staff to live out our mission of leading in clinical excellence, compassionate care and growth to meet the needs of our patients.” Baptist Health Lexington was judged as “high performing” in eight of nine adult procedures and conditions rated in the U.S. News report: abdominal aortic aneurysm repair, aortic valve surgery, heart bypass surgery, heart failure, colon cancer surgery, hip replacement, knee replacement and lung cancer surgery. Baptist Health Louisville earned high performing ratings in seven areas: abdominal aortic aneurysm repair, aortic valve surgery, heart bypass surgery, heart failure, colon cancer surgery, hip replacement and knee replacement. Baptist Health Floyd was rated as high performing in

chronic obstructive pulmonary disorder (COPD). For the 2018-19 rankings, U.S. News evaluated more than 4,500 medical centers nationwide. About 1,100 hospitals received a high performing rating in one or more procedures and conditions, and 29 hospitals received a high performing rating in all nine procedures and conditions. “For nearly 30 years, U.S. News has strived to make hospital quality more transparent to healthcare consumers nationwide,” said Ben Harder, managing editor and chief of health analysis at U.S. News. “By providing the most comprehensive data available, we give patients and their physicians’ information to support their search for the best care across a range of specialties.” Objective measures such as risk-adjusted patient survival and readmission rates, volume, patient experience, patient safety and quality of nursing and other care-related data largely or entirely determine the rankings in most areas of care. Best Hospitals was produced by U.S. News with RTI International, a leading research organization based in Research Triangle Park in North Carolina.

Norton Commons, the growing new urbanist development in Prospect, Kentucky, was joined by Louisville Forward, Greater Louisville Inc. and the Louisville Small Business Development Center as they cut the ribbon on the community’s new North Village Market, a project aimed at incubating local food and retailers. The open-air market is located at 6301 Moonseed Street, just a stone’s throw from the lakefront amphitheater, and includes six retail cottages. In addition, the space will serve as a staging ground for food trucks, farmers markets and a stage for performances by local artists. “We’re really pleased with how things turned out with the North Village, and we’re happy to continue our focus on local businesses and vendors,” said Marilyn Osborn Patterson, marketing director and general counsel for Norton Commons. “Each Friday through Labor Day is our ‘Food Trucks & Farmer Fridays’, where from 4:30 to 8 p.m., we have local growers selling farm fresh products, great local microbrews, as well as local musicians hitting our new North Village Stage from 6 to 8 p.m. We are planning more events throughout the year.” Three businesses have opened in the North Village Market, including BLU Boutique as well as children’s boutique, Rabbit in the Moon, and Spark Boutique, a women’s apparel and accessories store. The boutiques are open 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. Tuesday through Sunday. Three spaces are available, with options to lease for as few as 90 days. Photos courtesy of Norton Commons.

BOBSIN ANDREW “ANDY” BOOKER Andrew “Andy” Booker Bobsin, 52, passed away with family and friends around him on Aug. 15. After years of personal struggles, he can finally stop fighting and rest in peace in the arms of his Heavenly Father. Andy held many jobs during his life – construction foreman, RN (Galen graduate) – but his most rewarding job was working at the airport in passenger assistance. Andy touched the lives of many. He was kind, compassionate, intelligent and quick-witted. His willingness to sacrifice his time to help others was a hallmark of his life. He loved spending time with family, being outdoors, fixing anything broken, traveling

and going to Disney World with his wife. Although Andy’s personal struggles never fully ceased, he put his faith in Jesus Christ in 2014 and always ran back to Jesus in faith when things reached their worst point. Andy was confident that Jesus was enough for him to be made right with God and held onto that hope always. His life was enriched by the love of his wife, Kim; mother and stepfather, Julia and Stanley Spaulding; sisters, Frances Asbury and Christine Hyatt (Richard); brother, Curtis Bobsin (Tory); step-brother, Danny Spaulding; nieces, Cheyenne, Summer and Shelby; and nephews Tyler, Christopher, Jonah and Henry. He was preceded in death by his father, Harry Bobsin. Andy’s imprint on our lives

ELLIOTT, MARY AGNES Mary Agnes Ruzanka Elliott, 89, passed away on the Feast of the Assumption, Aug. 15, 2018. She was the former Mary Agnes Ruzanka – a Catholic, an Ursuline Academy alumni, a secretary at the Brown Hotel in the late ’40s and early ’50s, a founding member with her husband Ed of St. Athanasius Catholic Church, a member of St. Ignatius Martyr Catholic Church and currently a member of St. Patrick Catholic Church in Louisville, Kentucky. Mary was a graduate of Jefferson

Community College, a polio survivor, a wife, a mother, a grandmother and a great-grandmother. She was preceded in death by her parents, Romuald and Agnes Ruzanka, and her brothers, Stanley, Edward and Frank Ruzanka. While other children were preparing for first grade, Mary found herself confined in a hospital, a child polio victim. Here she would spend the next two years of her life. But Mary was a fighter, and emerged from the hospital to attend Our Mother of Sorrows parochial school, where she graduated in 1944, and Ursuline Academy, where she was a 1948 graduate. Mary began her working career as a secretary at the Brown Hotel, where she worked until becoming a stay-at-home mom, nursing and directing the activities of her new and growing family. This she blended with her varied interests in travel and the arts in the form of music, dancing and theater while always finding time to enjoy the company and accomplishments of her children and grandchildren. In life, Mary was a role model, a people person who never met a stranger. Her warmth and engaging personality made her a welcome addition to any gathering. Her life and contributions touched many people and made our world a better place. She will be missed in this lifetime, but she leaves behind memories for her family and friends that will be cherished for generations to come. Mary is survived by Edwin, her loving husband of 65 years; her children, Stephanie Godsell (Britt), Elaine Wright (John), Suzanne Bracksieck (Albert) and Edwin Jr. (Laurie); her sister, Anne; her grandchildren, Elliott, Gretchen (Alex), Alexander (Danae), Clara, Madeline (Will), Alexa (Nic), Evan (Caroline), Mackenzie and Emerson; her great-grandson, Owen; and by her many nieces and nephews in her extended family. 0 8 . 2 3 . 2 0 1 8 V O I C E -T R I B U N E .

both little and big. He was always his own person. Genuine, sincere and generous to a fault, his life was lived with a heart wide open. He shared his caring nature with the world every day. A student of the culinary arts at the University of North Alabama, Robert loved to cook for people and would regularly entertain a kitchen full at his family home. He was the best hide-and-go-seek player of all of us, and his mother’s right hand man at the family florist business. As a born athlete, he played rugby, lacrosse and football at both college and his alma mater, Trinity High School. Robert was beloved by every soul he ever met, and his love for us was the most precious of gifts. He was killed by a car while crossing the street. We will miss him for the rest of our lives. Robert is survived by his parents, Amy and JR Streeter; siblings, Stuart, Edward and Margaret Streeter; grandparents, Anne Streeter and Robert and Peggy Schoenhoff; aunts and uncles, Debbie Kaufmann (Alan), Paula Schoenhoff, Molly Schoenhoff (Jason Weber), Nancy Schoenhoff (Jessica George) and Emily Schoenhoff Iliff (Nick); cousins, Hannah and Joseph Steere, Noah Weber, Eloise, Everett and Beckham Iliff, Daniel Kaufmann (Tatum), David Kaufmann (Rebekah) and Amy Madison (Doug); significant other, Rachel Nutt; and a wealth of extended family and friends. Visitation was held at 27 Eastover Court on Aug. 21. Funeral mass at Church of the Holy Spirit was held Aug. 22. In lieu of flowers, spend some time with the people you care about. Raise a glass to Robert. And speak your love. 53
