EDITOR’S NOTE

Kudos to our community for making the fifth annual Give For Good Louisville 24-hour fundraising event such a success. The endeavor hosted by Community Foundation of Louisville, set a record by raising a total of $5,475,153.72 for more than 500 local nonprofits – thanks to the 16,970 FROM THE donors who stepped up to give to their most cherished charities. By the way, that’s a gain of more than 3,000 givers from 2017. To see a breakdown of the leaderboards or to learn more about the initiative, go to giveforgoodlouisville. org. The Voice team had so much fun compiling the Q&As of this year’s What Men Want subjects. The quartet of fellas represent various industries and are professionals in the community – but they’re so much more. I’ll let you discover which of our fellas is an Amy Winehouse fan who has a past filled with a few poor hairstyle choices, what gent hates roller coasters but would love to design suits for NBA players, which of our interesting men is a jalapeno eating contest champ and what guy dreams of being a rock star. Many thanks to Brian Merkley, Chris Burns, Brian Bates and Ryan Olexa for participating. The Voice-Tribune has been a fixture in this community for nearly 70 years. We’ve evolved and grown – thanks to your support – and have remained steadfast to our commitment to being your voice and sharing the voices in our community. That’s why I am eager to share with you our plans to shift from a weekly publication into a monthly, glossy, high-quality magazine beginning in December. We’re almost quadrupling the number of copies we print, will present the community’s stories in a beautiful magazine format and, best of all, it will remain free on stands, thanks to our advertising partners. I’ll provide more details in the coming weeks, although if you have any questions or comments, you can always reach Angie Fenton me at angie@voice-tribune.com or 502.897.8900 ext. 208.

SPOTLIGHT

Bowman Field Aviation & Military Heritage Festival AVIATION & MILITARY HERITAGE FESTIVAL Bowman Field Oct. 6-7 bowmanaviationfest.com 10

ouisville’s aviation history will be celebrated in spectacular fashion for the third year in a row. The Aviation & Military Heritage Festival, which occurs Oct. 6 and 7, allows people to get up close and personal with some of the most magnificent planes ever flown, but the festival has other exciting activities to offer, too. To learn more about this year’s event, we spoke with Pat MacDonald from the Louisville Regional Airport Authority (LRAA) board of directors and festival planning committee.

BIGGER AND BETTER In many ways, the festival is very similar to the original one held in 2015. “The mission remains the same: protect, preserve and promote the rich military and aviation history of Bowman Field while also introducing today’s youth to aviation,” said MacDonald. “As we grow the festival, we work tirelessly to improve on the previous year’s event and incrementally add more excitement towards the entire guest experience. Unlike an airshow, the festival is a full immersion experience for our guests. They can walk, talk and interact with living history all the while enjoying a fun filled day inside the fences at historic Bowman Field. The planning team is

laser-focused on making each year better and bigger than the past.”

AIRCRAFTS ON DISPLAY “We are planning on having 40 to 50 planes on both static display and flying,” MacDonald revealed. “Like any aviation event, weather always remains the great unknown, so with good weather, we should have a wonderful range of planes to experience. Rides will be available on the Ford Trimotor, a B-25, a biplane and possibly one or two more aircrafts.”

WHAT TO LOOK FORWARD TO The weekend-long gathering is definitely a family fun event, and there are so many ways to enjoy it in addition to the period planes. “We start the day at 8:30 a.m. with a run, walk or stroll around the field, the Bowman Field 4 Miler presented by (the Independent Pilots Association),” MacDonald explained. “The festival opens at 10 a.m. with many display booths, period singers, reenactors, play tent for the kids, food trucks, beer garden, vendor village, health screening, discovery flights, vintage automobiles and military exhibits. Also, Four Roses will be on hand sharing history which relates to the Golden Age and, of course, serving bourbon. There are so many things to come and experience.” 0 9 . 2 0 . 2 0 1 8 V O I C E -T R I B U N E . C O M

GET MOVIN’ The Bowman Field 4 Miler benefiting Reach for Kids is a great kick-off to the weekend. “It’s a unique course around Bowman Field and the Seneca Park Loop,” said MacDonald. “It all starts in front of the historic Bowman Field terminal building and finishes in a dramatic stretch on the airfield! The race concludes with a pancake breakfast and a beverage on the airfield, and runners can stick around and enjoy the event with their race registration. There is also a free kid’s dash right after the 4 Miler, so the kids can get involved and earn their wings.”

tion, Honor Flight Bluegrass and Vintage Warbirds. “Through the wonderful financial support provided by Humana Military, the festival will be able to provide rides in a B-25 Mitchell and TBM Avenger to some of our military veterans,” affirmed MacDonald. “Honor Flight Bluegrass does an exceptional job of organizing these flights for the veterans of Kentucky. Memories are shared, and stories are told. They can be contacted directly to arrange a flight.” Being able to come inside the fences and experience Bowman Field is an exceptional opportunity. “Don’t miss the chance to spend a day mingling with history, family and friends,” MacDonald said. “The goal of the festival is to see history come to life, as well as to experience the vibrant world of aviation and honor our veterans.” VT

Leonard Bernstein (1918-1990) is a legend of American music. Composer, conductor, pianist and educator, Bernstein captivated and energized a generation of music lovers. Teddy Abrams leads the LO in a survey of Bernstein’s music from his first symphony, “Jeremiah” to his Broadway musicals like On the Town and West Side Story.

Tailgating Eats Content provided by Estes Public Relations

ailgating season is here and we all know it’s about more than football. Food is the star of the show. Here, you will find some game-winning recipes from local restaurants and a fun “Tail-8-ing” recipe for Ale-8 fans. Whether you’re enjoying the game at home or in the heart of the action, these recipes are sure to capture the spirit of the season.

DRY RUB WINGS 8UP ELEVATED DRINKERY & KITCHEN

Servings: 4 2 quarts water 2 tablespoons black pepper ½ cup salt ¼ cup light brown sugar 3 bay leaves 1 cup ice 1 yellow onion 2 pounds chicken wings In a medium sauce pot, add the water, pepper, salt, brown sugar and bay leaves and bring to a boil. Place the ice in a bowl and strain the sauce liquid into the ice. Cut the onion in half and broil on high for three minutes. Dice the broiled onion, then add to the chilled brine. Marinate the wings in the chilled brine in the refrigerator for a minimum of six hours. Drain the wings and pat dry with paper towels - you want them as dry as possible.

Seasoning blend 2 tablespoons light brown sugar 1 tablespoon garlic salt 1 tablespoon onion salt ¼ teaspoon celery salt ¼ teaspoon ground cumin ¼ teaspoon chipotle powder 1 cup canola oil Chives for garnish Combine all ingredients except chives and canola oil. Season the wings with ½ tablespoon of the spice blend and set the rest aside. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees and roast the wings for eight minutes. In a deep pan, preheat canola oil on high heat for about two minutes, then pan fry wings for three minutes to crisp them up. Once the wings are crispy, pull them out and season with the rest of your spice blend. Serve with ranch dressing and fresh celery. Garnish with chives. TAILGATING MUFFALETTA PIZZA LUPO

Start to finish: 30 minutes (24 hours in advance) Servings: 6-8 1 loaf fresh focaccia 4 ounces porchetta, thinly sliced 2 ounces sopressata (Italian dry salami), thinly sliced 4 ounces provolone, sliced 2 cups giardiniera, house-made or store bought 2 cups of fresh baby arugula Harissa mayo 12

On a cutting board, slice entire loaf of focaccia lengthwise to make two thin halves. Layer all ingredients, making sure to keep giardiniera away from the bread so it does not get soggy. Spread mayo on bread and top. Wrap entire sandwich in plastic wrap as tightly as you can then press the sandwich under something heavy (iron skillet, foil-wrapped bricks, etc.) while refrigerating overnight. Store the pressed sandwich in the top of your cooler. Unwrap, slice in six or eight pieces and serve. 0 9 . 2 0 . 2 0 1 8 V O I C E -T R I B U N E . C O M

Nonprofit News 2018 BARNSTABLE BROWN KENTUCKY DERBY GALA DONATES OVER $1 MILLION TO THE UNIVERSITY OF KENTUCKY BARNSTABLE BROWN DIABETES CENTER The Barnstable Brown Gala, the premier Kentucky Derby Gala, recently donated over $1 million from proceeds from its 2018 gala to the University of Kentucky Barnstable Brown Diabetes Center. Since 2008, the Barnstable Brown family has donated more than $15 million to the center from proceeds from the annual Barnstable Brown Derby Eve Gala held in Louisville, Kentucky, including this year’s 30th Gala. The 2018 U.S. News & World Report ranked diabetes care at the Barnstable Brown Diabetes Center 33rd in the nation. The center, which expanded and moved to its current Turfland location in 2017, treats more than 7,500 adult patients and 2,500 pediatric patients each year in the management and treatment of diabetes and related diseases. “Thanks to the generosity of the Barnstable Brown family, patients with diabetes in Kentucky can receive the highest level of patient care and benefit from innovative research that impacts treatment and understanding of diabetes,” said Dr. Mark F. Newman, UK vice president for health affairs. “Due to the vision and amazing work of this family, those with diabetes, no matter what age, have access to the best in diabetes medical care, complemented with outstanding educational support.” “The generous donations provided through the Barnstable Brown Derby Gala enabled us to open the expansion of the Barnstable Brown Diabetes Center in late 2017 and now, with their continued support from this year’s gala, they continue to fund our efforts in both the research and treatment of diabetes,” said Dr. John Fowlkes, director of the Barnstable Brown Center. The Center was first established when twins Patricia Barnstable Brown and Priscilla Barnstable, along with their mother, Wilma, pledged the initial funding to support the center in memory of All are welcome to attend a GILDA’S CLUB OFFERS free Biden Cancer Community BIDEN CANCER Summit from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. COMMUNITY SUMMIT on Sept. 21, as well as a free ON SEPT. 21 AND “Frankly Speaking: Metastatic LATEST DETAILS AND Breast Cancer” workshop from 6 to 7:30 p.m. on Oct. 10.

hefs Anoosh Shariat and Mark Ford will welcome James Beard award-winning cookbook author Ronni Lundy to their Anoosh Bistro kitchen on Sept. 27 to present an Appalachian-inspired farm-to-fork five-course dinner. In addition to sharing a love of cooking and produce, Shariat, Ford and Lundy share a passion for helping those with cancer and will be donating $25 from each ticket sold to Gilda’s Club Louisville. The dinner will begin at 6 p.m., and cost for the five-course meal is $125 per person, plus tax and gratuity. Optional wine pairings are available for an additional $25 per person. For reservations, call 502.690.6585. Capriole goat cheese will be a featured ingredient with a course prepared by founder Judy Schad’s granddaughter, Piper Schad. The other courses prepared by Shariat and Ford will be inspired by Lundy’s “Victuals” cookbook and highlight the best flavors of the season. “Victuals” is an exploration of the foodways, people and places of Appalachia, and in 2017 received James Beard Foundation book awards for both American Cooking and Cookbook of the Year. Lundy, a native of Corbin, will have her cookbook available for purchase and signing that evening. This is the second benefit that Anoosh Bistro has hosted for Gilda’s Club Louisville, which offers free programs and priceless support to families and individuals touched by cancer.

Off to the Races with the Breeders’ Cup Festival By Laura Ross Photos courtesy of Breeders’ Cup Festival

he Breeders’ Cup World Championship arrives in Louisville the first week in November at Churchill Downs and will bring multiple events along with it. While Louisville is used to the celebrations before Derby, organizers of the Breeders’ Cup Festival hope people will race to participate in the autumn festival as well. The Louisville festival will kick off a week-long community celebration before the horses hit the track on Nov. 2-3. In addition, Equestricon will offer a fan fest experience geared toward promoting everything equestrian. Festivities begin Oct. 28 and continue through Nov. 10. Since 2015, the Breeders’ Cup Festival has provided activities for locals and international horse racing fans to enjoy the special nature of each host city. Organized by the Breeders’ Cup Louisville Host Committee, the Festival helps raise part of the $95 million in local economic impact that is generated by the Breeders’ Cup. Festival and tourism officials call it rolling out the “purple carpet” for the city. “Louisville is thrilled to welcome the

Breeders’ Cup and all the fans enjoying the community-wide festival accompanying it,” said Mayor Greg Fischer. “We’re excited to showcase our city’s transformation, including all the new hotels, restaurants and bourbon tourism destinations since we last hosted the Breeders’ Cup in 2011.” Equestricon, which kicks off the Festival on Oct. 29, at the newly-renovated Kentucky International Convention Center, is one of the signature events for the Breeders’ Cup Festival. The two-day event combines an international horse racing convention, fan festival and trade show all rolled into one. Equestricon includes conference discussions on equestrian topics; meet-andgreets with legendary trainers, jockeys and industry experts; tours of area horse farms – and much more. “It’s totally geared toward the fan,” said Dan Tordjman, co-founder of Equestricon. “We have over 50 sessions on everything from horse betting and handicapping, ownership and people in racing to in-person stories, photos and autograph sessions with the trainers, jockeys, owners and major personalities in racing. If you geek out on

the personalities, you’ll have a great time meeting them.” Fans and guests can attend multiple events or choose their favorites for as little as $10. Signature events include the Fashion at the Races brunch Oct. 28 at the Louisville Marriott Downtown, the Breeders’ Cup post-position draw and an Oct. 30 concert by Jukebox The Ghost at the Mercury Ballroom. “People come in from all over the world to attend the event, and where else, other than Louisville, can you gather the best of the industry in one place?” added Tordjman. “It’s our goal to prop up racing and give fans a destination to visit, meet their heroes and have a unique insider experience for one of the best sporting events in the nation.” The Breeders’ Cup Festival also features several family-friendly events throughout the week, from trick or treating at Churchill Downs on Oct. 28 during Family Adventure Day, special displays at the popular Jack-Olantern Spectacular event, to horse farm and bourbon distillery tours and concerts. “The Festival gives the community and visitors the ability to celebrate that Breeders’ 0 9 . 2 0 . 2 0 1 8 V O I C E -T R I B U N E .

Cup can be just as fun as Derby week,” said Tara Guenthner, executive director of the Breeders’ Cup Festival. And golf fans will have a unique opportunity to take a swing at Cardinal Stadium. The Festival, in partnership with Topgolf, will present Topgolf Crush Oct. 31 through Nov. 10. The event will feature food, music and golf, and will light up the night with massive glowing targets on the field at Cardinal Stadium. Toptracer technology will track and score every shot. The Festival will also feature concerts at Fourth Street Live! Thursday through Saturday of Breeders’ Cup week, featuring the Spazmatics and Burning Las Vegas. Other activities include a photo contest for area middle school and high school students, called Hoof Prints, and a Breeders’ Cup Pastry Challenge for the baking, pastry and culinary students at Sullivan University. Legendary trainer D. Wayne Lukas will be presented with the Breeders’ Cup Sports & Racing Excellence Award, and the Kentucky Derby Museum will unveil its renovations at a grand-reopening party on Oct. 31.

An event highlighting the art created around 2018 Triple Crown winner Justify is a highlight of the Festival week. It will feature a pop-up art gallery and autograph session with Team Justify, with Mike Smith, Bob Baffert and others scheduled to appear at the Louisville Marriott Downtown. All proceeds from the Justify event will benefit the Permanently Disabled Jockeys Fund. With a nod to a Derby week favorite, Dawn at the Downs at Churchill Downs will also return for the Breeders’ Cup on Nov. 1. “Like Derby, The Breeders’ Cup Festival gives us another opportunity to enjoy an industry that is so important to our state,” said Guenthner. “It’s also a world championship that brings so much attention to our city, and frankly, it’s going to be just plain fun.” VT Fans can view the Breeders’ Cup Festival events, many of which are free, at breederscupfestival.com and equestricon.com. Some events are ticketed. Organizers suggest visiting the sites often as additional events will be added as Breeders’ Cup week approaches. 21

CBD Oil: What’s the Story? By Jeff Howard Photo by Jillian Clark

ately, I’ve been hearing a lot about CBD oil, but I wasn’t clear on what it was, where it came from or anything about it. Being in the healthcare industry, I wanted to find out more, so I started asking questions of our members at Baptist Health/Milestone Wellness Center. I was surprised to learn that a number of them are using it to help with different medical conditions. First, let me explain what CBD oil is: It’s a cannabinoid derived from the cannabis plant. Until recently, the best-known compound in cannabis was THC, which is the most active ingredient in marijuana. But unlike THC, CBD is not psychoactive (I hope this puts your mind at rest). There are tons of different products available with CBD oil in them, but what I was most interested in is the CBD oil topical creams that help with pain and soreness. To learn more, a good friend of mine put me in contact with Stephanie Curran, the founder of Biolief, a company that produces CBD oil products.

What’s the history of CBD and Biolief?

Jeff Howard is a world-renowned fitness presenter who resides in Louisville. He has starred in numerous fitness videos, educated fitness professionals at conventions worldwide for more than a decade, trained countless celebrities as the pioneer instructor at the Golden Door Spa and has appeared on several national TV shows. Along his journey, he has managed award-winning fitness programs from Equinox in Chicago to Virgin Active in South Africa. Jeff is currently the promotional director of fitness for Baptist Health/Milestone Wellness Center.

“Through our travels and meetings with some of the top CBD companies and attorneys in the country, we noticed one thing – everyone was using the same extraction method,” Stephanie said. “Because of our network, we were blessed to have been put in contact with the gentleman who owns the patent on the cold-pressed extraction method as it pertains to hemp and cannabinoids. He had been doing biological extraction in some capacity for over 10 years and was backed by some of the top physicians in the country. We knew this was the way to go. The clinical research done by the father of CBD – Dr. Raphael Mechoulam, a Hebrew University professor and organic chemist with six decades of research on cannabis – has laid the foundation for us to all be able to say with confidence that this is exactly what the world needs. “Hemp has been used as a dietary supplement and as an agricultural commodity for thousands of years. Mechoulam’s research – an

extensive collection that includes roughly 400 scientific articles cited nearly 100,000 times – is credited for the discovery of the endocannabinoid system and the isolation, determination of chemical composition and structure and synthesis of the major cannabinoids – notably cannabidiol (CBD), delta-9 tetrahydrocannabinol and cannabigerol (CBG). We are barely scratching the tip of the iceberg when it comes to what we can use this plant to help heal.”

How is it used? “One of the easiest and safest ways to utilize CBD is through topical application – topical creams and oils that have been infused with the essence of the CBD flower – much like using various essential oils,” Stephanie said. “The topicals are applied to the skin and are not absorbed into the bloodstream, but are (among) one of the most effective ways to use CBD.” According to a 2013 review published in the British Journal of Clinical Pharmacology, studies have found CBD to reduce nausea and vomiting, suppress seizure activity, combat inflammatory disorder, reduce skin irritation, improve mood and more. “The testimonials of how many we have helped is our greatest accomplishment,” Stephanie said. “On the business front, we have collaborative partnerships with hundreds of doctors offices, wellness clinics and spas. Securing the relationship with Oasis Spa located in (Baptist Health) Milestone Wellness Center is yet another great accomplishment. We are also working with a franchise of 250 spas and some national retailers. Continuing to grow and help many more is our main goal.” To see for myself, I reached out to Jennifer Romero, director of the Oasis Spa located inside Milestone. With the help of our massage therapist, we then tried the CBD oil topical cream on members. The results were amazing and the relief immediate. We have now included it in our spa menu, ranging from massage to targeted relief, and have it available for clients to purchase. For more information, visit biolief.com and baptistmilestone.com.

Constructing A Dream Lake House, Wilson & Muir Bank Nails It When Bob Whitlow and his wife, Jodeen, decided to build a lake house at Nolin Lake they wanted a bank familiar with the issues associated with a project located miles from their home in Louisville. “Wilson and Muir had a branch in Leitchfield, very near where we were building, and a branch in Louisville, which made it very easy for us to sign paperwork, discuss issues, and have the closing,” said Bob Whitlow. Lauri Martin, a local developer in the area with Nooonway, referred the Whitlows to Ryan Bratcher, Vice President at Wilson & Muir Bank’s Leitchfield office, and this is where the Whitlow’s longstanding history with Wilson & Muir Bank began. Bratcher introduced the Whitlows to a local builder and helped throughout the construction process, handling inspections of the property and ensuring that all of the paperwork was done correctly. Before long, the Whitlow’s first lake house was built and the entire team at Wilson & Muir Bank assisted in the process. Jenean Anderson, from Wilson & Muir Bank’s Big

Story from

Clifty office, completed the permanent financing on the Whitlow’s first lake house. “But I attended the closing because they were living in Louisville,” said Allen Ilano, Mortgage Loan Officer at Wilson & Muir Bank’s Louisville office. “This is how I was introduced to the Whitlows,” added Ilano. Building a house is no small task, but the Whitlows quickly became extremely confident in the Wilson & Muir team. “Wilson & Muir Bank, specifically Allen Ilano and Ryan Bratcher, were familiar with the needs of someone building remotely,” said Bob Whitlow. Additionally, when new questions or needs arose, Wilson & Muir Bank was ready and able to help. “After the first year, the Whitlows inquired about a lower payment, so I put them in an ARM product that made them very happy,” said Ilano. During the Whitlow’s second year of ownership, they decided they wanted a better location on the lake, so they sold their first lakefront house and went back to Ryan Bratcher for another construction loan on the

Ryan Bratcher & A llen Ilano

second. Ilano did the financing for the buyer on the Whitlow’s original lake house, Bratcher secured the construction loan, and Amy Ballard, from Wilson & Muir Bank’s Louisville office, locked in the permanent financing for the new one. “Ryan and Allen were very helpful in ensuring the builder’s draws were justified, that progress on the house was meeting expectations, and all documentation was correctly filed,” said Bob Whitlow, adding “We highly recommend Wilson & Muir Bank for anyone interested in building a home.” When you need a team to make your dreams come true, contact Wilson & Muir Bank with locations in St. Matthews and throughout Nelson, Grayson and Hardin Counties.

MEN WANT

or the second year in a row, we present to you What Men Want, a Q&A with four local fellas who share what matters to them. Our subjects come from different professional backgrounds and have varying interests, but all of them care deeply about family and community. Here, they share what they hope to accomplish in life, how they’d like to see Louisville transform and a few of their favorite things.

Profession: Mortgage Banker Business: Wilson & Muir Bank & Trust Company Degree(s): Business-Real Estate & Finance Alma mater: The University of Texas

What do you want out of life? To live an honest life with no regrets, using each day to be kind, helpful and enriching the lives of those with whom I interact. What would your ideal Louisville look like? I would love to see Louisville as a hub for rail travel to Nashville, Cincinnati, Indy and Chicago. What most people may not know about me: I come from a family of aviators and have made many flights in hot air balloons and sailplanes. I was at Dallas Love Field waving to Jackie and JFK moments before his assassination. In college, I won jalapeno eating contests. Achievement I’m most proud of: I’m fortunate to be married to my best friend and wife, Anna, for almost 33 years. We’ve raised a son and daughter who both have smart, loving spouses. Dream I haven’t achieved yet: Waiting to hold my first grandchild! Favorite milestone: Every wedding anniversary is an opportunity to thank God for blessing me with another year with my wife. 10-year prediction: I’ll still be awaiting the (annual) September iPhone event. FAVORITE THINGS

Sports team: Texas Longhorns and Dallas Cowboys. Vacation: I love the mountains in the summer, beach in the fall and any time in Italy! Watering hole: Casa Bates, where there’s always a generous pour. Cocktail: Bourbon neat, a Cabernet Sauvignon or Super Tuscan. Local restaurant: Growing up in Texas, my go-to was BBQ or Tex Mex. Louisville is blessed to have so many creative chefs and local restaurants. Feast BBQ and bourbon slushies – enough said. El Mundo and Con Huevos for Mexican. Dream car: Not yet available but coming soon. It is electric, autonomous, self-parking and will arrive when I summon it from my app. Clothing brand: Patagonia and Hickey Freeman. TV binge: Most recently, “Jack Ryan” and “Billions.” Awaiting the final “Game of Thrones” and “Top Chef Kentucky.” Special heirloom piece or accessory: A vintage Steuben bowl that’s beauty is in its clarity and clean simple lines, making it a timeless classic. Music taste: Willie Nelson’s “Healing Hands of Time.” It’s Willie at his best. I also enjoy Fleetwood Mac, Steely Dan, Boz Scaggs, Tears for Fears and Tony Bennett. 0 9 . 2 0 . 2 0 1 8 V O I C E -T R I B U N E . C O M

Profession: Personal Stylist Business: Rodes for Him Degree(s): B.A. – History/Political Science Alma mater: University of Louisville Boards, volunteer or community work: Rodes works closely with Gilda’s Club to raise money and awareness for cancer survivors, victims and their families. We are proud to partner with them for a number of events, including Wigs on Tap & Gilda’s Night. What do you want out of life? Wealth, health and happiness for myself, my friends and family. What would your ideal Louisville look like? The Highlands! Just with more parking. In all seriousness, I would like to see the city continue to grow, particularly west of downtown. There has been so much development in areas like NuLu, Germantown, Butchertown, etc. that it would be great to see similar development occur in areas like Parkland that have so much historical and cultural significance to the city. Having lived and worked here my whole life, it’s been exciting to see all the changes going on throughout the city. I hope we can continue to build upon those and strive to be even better, and more cosmopolitan, than ever before. What did you want to be when you were growing up? A professional basketball player. I played at Ballard High School for three years, and it wasn’t until I played alongside guys like Quentin Snider, Devante Parker, Kelan Martin and Keisten Jones that I realized I probably wasn’t cut out for the league. From then on, I’ve focused on my education and then developing a career in men’s fashion and retail. What most people may not know about me: I have a deathly fear of heights. It causes me to truly hate getting on planes even though I love to travel. And roller coasters? You can forget all that. I like my feet planted firmly on solid ground, thank you very much. Achievement I’m most proud of: My senior year of college, I completed a senior honors thesis for the University of Louisville Honor College centered on the anti-apartheid movement at UofL in the 1980s. Dr. Tyler Fleming of the Pan-African Studies Department and I looked at the student-led sit-in that occurred on the Belknap Campus in April 1985. It was the first historical examination of the event and helped put the University of Louisville squarely within the narrative of the nationwide anti-apartheid movement in the late ’80s and ’90s. Dream I haven’t achieved yet: One of these days, I will design suits for players participating in the NBA draft. It’s my absolute favorite night in sports fashion. Guys truly go all out, and you can see each stylist’s personal touch and expression in every outfit. It’s like a fashion show for tall, lanky dudes who are 6’6” and over. I’d love to one day be a part of the spectacle.

Favorite milestone: Starting my work at Rodes on Aug. 1, 2017. Rodes is a company that is so esteemed, so renowned in the community, and with a reputation that stretches back over 100 years. There really is no company like it in the city of Louisville. I consider it a true privilege to work for such a well-respected and wellknown business that’s family-owned and customer-driven. I’m hoping it’s the start of a long, successful career here. 10-year prediction: In 10 years’ time, I hope to have traveled the world more, spent more time learning and perfecting my craft and hopefully have started to give back to the Louisville community that has provided me with so much. FAVORITE THINGS

Sports team: University of Louisville Cardinals and Cleveland Cavaliers. Pastime (what you do in your free time): I enjoy playing basketball on my off days or whenever I have the opportunity. Also, any time that I get to spend being active, outside, running around with my little corgi-mix – coincidentally named Rhodes – and my beautiful girlfriend Leah is time well-spent. Vacation: Estes Park, Colorado. We’ve been going there since I was young to visit my grandparents, and I’ve just fallen in love with it. It has awesome hiking spots, great places to relax and unwind and the weather is always perfect. Watering hole: Anywhere with good bourbon. Cocktail: Woodford Reserve on the rocks with a lemon. Local restaurant: Anoosh Bistro. Dream car: Red 1985 Lamborghini Countach with tan interior and butterfly doors. Clothing brand: Isaia. They are the epitome of Italian style and luxury. TV binge: “The Office” or “The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air” if I’m feeling extra nostalgic. Special heirloom piece or accessory: I have a wool, gingham plaid tie that is made with the traditional Burns family pattern from Scotland. Every member of my dad’s side of the family has an article of clothing with that same print; the guys all have ties and the ladies have scarves. It’s a reminder of our roots and also ties – pun intended – us together even though we all live in separate states. What you splurge on: Clothes, accessories and shoes especially. Music taste: Hip-hop/rap of all kinds, old R&B/soul and jazz. I enjoy lyricism and songs with meaning to them. Some of my favorite recent artists include Kanye West, Kendrick Lamar, J. Cole and Louisville’s own Bryson Tiller. However, when it comes to throwback jams, I love listening to old school R&B/soul artists like Boyz II Men; Marvin Gaye; Earth, Wind, and Fire; and the Isley Bros. I enjoy all kinds of music, but those are definitely some of my favorites. 0 9 . 2 0 . 2 0 1 8 V O I C E -T R I B U N E . C O M

What do you want out of life? I believe like most people, I simply want to make a difference. I hope to make the world a little better place. Starting with my children, I want to be an example and show others that our mental state is a conscious choice; to demonstrate the fortitude and faith it takes to navigate through life’s inevitable circumstances with a perpetual focus on being grateful, kind and understanding. What would your ideal Louisville look like? It’s an exciting time to be in Louisville. With the growth and development going on around our city and the excitement the bourbon industry has ignited, Louisville is on the map as a destination for visitors and those considering relocating. While this growth is exciting, my ideal Louisville holds true to its history of being a warm place to live, priding ourselves with southern hospitality and considered a top-notch town to raise a family. I am proud to call Louisville my hometown. What did you want to be when you were growing up? I’ve always been into music. And after a quick – failed – jaunt with a saxophone and discovering I had absolutely no ability to sing, I set out in college to be a disc jockey at a radio station. What most people may not know about me: I’ve made a few poor hairstyle choices through the years, including a pretty stellar high school mullet that would have made any NHL player envious. And I attempted dreadlocks during my “dance” phase in college… eyeroll. Achievement I’m most proud of: Personally, my greatest achievement is my children. They are such a blessing, and I’m more proud of the people they are becoming with every passing day. Professionally, I think my greatest achievement is earning the trust of our clients.

We have the distinguished honor to play a role in so many of our client’s milestones, whether it be an engagement or anniversary, a professional achievement or a “just because” gift for the one they love. These special moments are ones we hold close to our heart, and we are forever grateful to be involved. Dream I haven’t achieved yet: One day I hope to have the patience to learn how to fish and to have the time and calmness to sit for hours on the water. Favorite milestone: I understand life is full of milestones. We celebrate those with our clients every day, but the first one to come to mind is my father’s retirement. It may seem like an odd choice, but his retirement is when the importance of my family’s legacy dawned on me. As I prepared my speech, I started to realize the importance of generational efforts. I came to know the path to my success and the platform from which I now work was laid by others before me. I’ve since understood the responsibility of ensuring the future success of my loved ones. 10-year prediction: The movement away from big box stores continues as consumers discern the need for service-oriented – not product price-oriented – shopping outlets. Also, mad advances in cryogenics, resulting in my passionate love affair with Amy Winehouse. We would probably meet at the Kentucky Derby and upon getting to know me, she would ultimately remove her emergency protective order and we will live happily ever after.

Cocktail: Old Forester. Local restaurant: Cafe Classico. Dream car: Reconditioning my 1989 Ford Escort – Yeah, you see me! Clothing brand: Bespoke. TV binge: “Ozark.” Special heirloom piece or accessory: While it may not be mine, my father’s yellow gold Day-Date Rolex President. It was a gift to him upon his retirement from Merkley Kendrick Jewelers, where he served for 50 years. That timepiece signifies the jewelry tradition of our family. What you splurge on: My loved ones. I enjoy gift giving and taking care of those in my life. Music taste: Hip hop and country – they can coexist! 31

What do you want out of life? I don’t want to waste it on things that don’t matter. I want to care more about the people around me than I do about myself. What would your ideal Louisville look like? It would look like people helping other people – even those they don’t know. Even little things like getting the door for someone or not cutting off the car next to you (in traffic). And people would stop shooting other people, but moreover, people would care for those that are lost enough to want to. What did you want to be when you were growing up? A rock star. What most people may not know about me: I got attacked by bees when I was a kid. We’ve since come to an understanding. Achievement I’m most proud of: I made the Indiana All-State band on saxophone my freshman year of high school, and it’s given me confidence in all areas of my life ever since. I guess reaching a goal that seemed almost unattainable makes everything seem possible. Dream I haven’t achieved yet: Being a rock star. Favorite milestone: Turning 16 was pretty great. It’s all been downhill from there! No, but I always wanted to drive and I still kind of love it. 10-year prediction: I’ll have a family of my own. FAVORITE THINGS

Pastime (what you do in your free time): I like to write music or even just to play music. Vacation: The lake with family and/or friends. Watering hole: Does church count? That’s probably the place that I most consistently hang out at with other people. Otherwise, it’s whatever house, bar or coffee shop people are feeling that day or whatever venue my friends are playing at that weekend. Lately, I’ve been pretty into the Butchertown Social.

astle & Key Distillery recently held their official opening, and I had the privilege of being on the guest list. The place was overflowing with magical, jaw-dropping attention to detail – from the outdoor space revitalized by Jon Carloftis Fine Gardens to the rustic barn interior, where the tour concluded with an enchanting dinner catered by The Apiary. Midday, a tasting was held in the sunken garden that is reminiscent of Jardin du Luxembourg in Paris, France. The tables were set with specific glassware filled with spirits on mats, each designed to guide you through the different levels of the tasting. What I walked away with was a true revelation: I love gin, especially the

London Dry gin referred to as a Restoration Release that Marianne Eaves (Kentucky’s first female master distiller) has created. I can’t wait to saunter up to a high-class gin joint soon so I can order a martini, shaken not stirred. Speaking of sauntering, that’s what folks did while attending the inaugural Supper Under the Spires, a Churchill Downs Foundation Fête. Everyone enjoyed cocktails in the paddock and dinner on the racetrack. Tonya Ramsey Abeln, community relations director at Churchill Downs, kicked off the evening with a warm welcome and an eloquent homage to our beloved John Asher.

His work is a series of paintings created by mixing his own paint from different organic materials (eggs and limestone) to form abstract images of atmospheric landscape. The exhibit also includes figurative sculptures that are meant to be considered in relation to the paintings.

Their tailgating tent is rockin’ to say the least.

John Taylor, president and CEO of Limestone Bank

PROFILE

A Billion-Dollar Bank with a Focus on Community Limestone Bank tailors its services to local communities and prioritizes charitable endeavors. By Steve Kaufman Photos by Kathryn Harrington

here are more than 130 state-chartered banks in Kentucky, an above-average number given the Commonwealth’s density of population. Limestone Bancorp is one of the larger ones with about $1 billion in assets. (By comparison, the average-sized state bank has assets between $300 and $350 million.) “It positions us well to serve our communities,” said President and CEO John Taylor. “We have the scale and size to meet our customers’ needs. But our value proposition is a more intimate, more personalized experience than the larger national and super-regional banks offer.” The Limestone approach to banking is unusual in a paperless, digital age. “Think about how the financial services industry has changed,” Taylor pointed out. “Larger banks are going to more commoditized approaches to deliver products and services. If you want to get a home mortgage from a large financial institution, you’ll probably have to do it online. Of course, we also have online and mobile banking, but we use them as complements to one-on-one personal relationships.” 0 9 . 2 0 . 2 0 1 8 V O I C E -T R I B U N E . C O M

0 9 . 2 0 . 2 0 1 8 V O I C E -T R I B U N E . C O M

BUSINESS

That’s available to customers entering the bank, but it’s also available when the bank enters the community. “We go out and call on customers and we listen,” said Taylor. “When we call on entrepreneurs in need of financing to build their businesses, we don’t deliver a standard product and require the customers to work with that. We listen to their goals, objectives and needs, and then we come up with solutions for their particular situations.” Limestone Bancorp was founded in the early 1980s, and its first acquisition was a bank in Bullitt County. It now operates 15 different locations in 12 counties. The Limestone name is new as of February – it formerly was PBI Bank – and Taylor said the new name “allows us to do a better job of identifying who we are and where we’re going.” Why Limestone? “It’s a material found in over 80 percent of Kentucky’s surface,” he explained. “Everyone here knows that it’s solid and firm, so it’s a good way for us to tell the story of how we’re working to help our customers prepare for a firm financial future. It’s not just a name-change; it’s a whole brand re-identification.” The Louisville branch at the bank’s Eastpoint headquarters has been undergoing a renovation as well. The centerpiece of the physical space is – what else? – a limestone fireplace. But Limestone’s connection to its communities goes further than that. Its website lists a number of charitable endeavors that the bank participates in: Habitat for Humanity in Bowling Green/Warren County; the Super Student Athletes Life Center in Louisville; Next Step, a 10-week financial literacy program for low-income persons in Glasgow, Kentucky; and the Christmas for Kids event in Henry County, supported by its Pleasureville and Eminence banking centers. In Brownsville, Kentucky, the bank covers the costs of the GED exam for Adult Education Center participants. In Jefferson County, perhaps its biggest corporate involvement is with the March of Dimes, known to millions of Depression-era and post-war Americans as the cause that fought the infantile paralysis epidemic. After vaccines reduced polio to less-than-epidemic proportions, March of Dimes turned its efforts elsewhere. It now works to improve the health of mothers and babies by funding research to prevent birth defects, premature birth and infant mortality. As Stephanie Renner, Limestone’s general counsel, said, “Every American baby is a March of Dimes baby.”

The name Limestone is a good way for us to tell the story of how we’re working to help our customers prepare for a firm financial future. — John Taylor

Limestone is a sponsor of Signature Chefs, March of Dimes’ major annual formal event, and it participates with more than money. Renner has been active on the local March of Dimes’ board of directors, serving as vicechair for three years. She co-chaired Signature Chefs with Taylor in 2015 and chaired it by herself the following year. This year, it will be held on Nov. 8 at the Omni Hotel Louisville, 400 S. Second St., starting at 5:30 p.m. with cocktails. “As many as 30 local chefs, this year coordinated by Josh Moore of Volare, will come in and prepare dishes in a tasting set-up,” Renner explained. “There are also silent and live auctions.” Currently, the still-expanding list of participating restaurants includes 8Up; 502 Bar & Bistro; Roc; Asiatique; The Brown Hotel; Brasserie Provence; Bourbons Bistro; Fat Lamb; Brooklyn and the Butcher; Joy Luck; Flavaville; The Porch; Fork and Barrel; Varanese/River House; Gospel Bird; Volare; Jack Fry’s; Ward 426; Levy; Bob’s Chophouse; Old Stone Inn; Sarino; Martini’s;

Equus; and Cellar Door Chocolates. Renner said the event raises between $300,000 and $350,000 annually. Tables start at $3,000, but it sells out every year - a fact Renner attributes to the powerful food community that is Louisville. “Louisville prides itself on its local chefs and restaurants, and everyone here wants to be a part of it,” she affirms. When Renner tells other March of Dimes locals about the number of chefs who get involved here, they’re always amazed at the participation. “The truth is, we turn chefs away,” Renner said. “There’s always a waiting list.” Nor is it your usual tasting event of cramped quarters, long lines and tiny portions. “It’s very roomy and comfortable, and everyone gets plenty to eat.”VT For more information on Limestone Bank, visit limestonebank.com.

LOOK!

PETS OF THE WEEK Hello there, meet Nemo! Nemo came to the Kentucky Humane Society because his owner could no longer take care of him. We don’t know why, Nemo is an awesome friend! He’s an affectionate guy that loves everyone he meets, and despite his age (Nemo is 12 years young!) he’s pretty playful! One thing you should know about Nemo is that he isn’t the biggest fan of dogs and cats and he would prefer to go to a home without any other companions. That’s okay though! Nemo is the only friend you could ever need! Nemo is neutered, micro-chipped, up-to-date on vaccinations and ready for a new loving home. Could it be yours? Meet Nemo today at the Hikes Point Feeders Supply, 3079 Breckenridge Lane. For more on Nemo or any of our adoptable pets, please call 502-3663355 or visit kyhumane.org. Meet the handsome pup known as Marley! Marley is a five-year-old Chow Chow who came to the Kentucky Humane Society from an overcrowded shelter. Now he’s ready to settle down with a family to love. Marley is a gorgeous boy with flowing red fur and a smile that never leaves his face. He’s a gentle guy who loves being pet and shown attention from his human friends. Because Marley came from an overcrowded shelter, we have not seen how he does with other pets. If you have a canine at home, you’re more than welcome to bring them in for a meet and greet to make sure everyone can be friends! Does Marley sound like the perfect fit for your family? If so, come meet him! Marley is neutered, micro-chipped and up-to-date on all vaccinations. Come meet Marley today at the Fern Creek Feeders Supply, 6820 Bardstown Rd. For more on Marley or any of our adoptable pets, please call 502-366-3355 or visitkyhumane.org.
