EDITOR’S NOTE

Letter Editor

Reading the absolutely fabulous feature with Carla Sue Broecker had me in fits of irrepressible laughter. The Voice-Tribune’s longtime columnist didn’t hold back during her interview with writer Laura Ross, and I’m so grateful for that. Not only does Carla Sue share the skinny on what it was really like to write for The Voice (in all its incarnations), but she dishes about the best and worst events and even shares her acerbic, pragmatic perspective (“We’ll all drop dead, and someone else will pick up the party”) in the way only she can. Trust me, this is one Q&A you won’t want to miss.

Last Thursday, March of Dimes hosted its annual Signature Chefs Auction, which raised a record-breaking amount that totaled more than $300,000. The Voice was proud to sponsor, and pleased to take part in, the delicious affair for such an incredible cause. Look for four pages of photos from the fête, which was held at the Omni Louisville Hotel, in this week’s Society section.

Next week’s Nov. 22 issue will be the final weekly version of The Voice-Tribune. Beginning Nov. 29, we will publish as a monthly magazine, which will remain free on stands thanks to our advertising partners.

I’ll share more details in next week’s issue. In the meantime, save the date: We’re celebrating with a launch party from 5 to 7 p.m. Nov. 29 at Copper & Kings, 1121 E. Washington St. As always, thank you for taking the time to read The Voice. Your support is so appreciated.

STORY BY WILSON & MUIR BANK & TRUST CO.

All “Rodes” Point To Wilson & Muir Bank

odes For Him, For Her, opened in Louisville in 1914. Wilson & Muir Bank (WMB) opened its first office in Kentucky in 1865. Rodes was one of WMB’s first commercial clients in Louisville, years before WMB opened their St Matthews office. “It was a great match from the beginning,” said Frank Wilson, President & CEO of Wilson & Muir Bank. “Two of Kentucky’s oldest businesses partnering and growing together,” added Wilson.

Although Rodes experienced many changes as their business grew, WMB was there to guide them. “Given their business expertise, WMB has helped us refine and define our plans for true success… and that is what sets WMB apart,” said Howard Vogt, President and co-owner of Rodes.

Wilson attributes his career path a direct result of his relationship with Rodes. After graduating from college his father took him to Rodes to get a couple of suits for job interviews.

The next stop was Wilson & Muir Bank where his father cosigned a loan to repay him for the suits. It was at that time he was offered a bank teller job from CEO Robert E. Sutherland. It was Sutherland and Lawrence Smith, the patriarch of the family business, who first

established the relationship between WMB and Rodes and 35 years later it carries on.

“WMB listened and truly partnered with Rodes during our growth,” said Howard.

“They not only looked at our business, but took the time to get to know us,” added Howard.

Susan Vogt, co-owner of Rodes, is the daughter of Lawrence Smith. “Lawrence was one of the finest and most honorable individuals we ever had the privilege of working with,” said Wilson. Wilson noted that Smith set very high standards as a business operator and was a great mentor to Howard and Susan. “They have carried on a great tradition of excellence, as Rodes is the premiere clothing store in the city, and have been very generous with their philanthropic efforts, supporting many great causes including Derby Divas and Gilda’s Club.

Rodes and the Vogts are true assets to Louisville,” said Wilson.

“We use WMB for everything and tell everyone who will listen what a true partner they are,” said Howard. “I could not be more proud to be associated with such an exceptional organization, Howard added.

“At Rodes they say, ‘Relationships are priceless’ and at WMB, we couldn’t agree more,” concluded Wilson.

t first glance, it’s an eclectic group that includes Bono, President Jimmy Carter, the Dalai Lama and Wendell Berry. The common thread for all is poetry. A new exhibit opening Nov. 17, at the Louisville Main Library, “Poets, Rock Stars, and Holy Men: A Literary Renaissance,” features more than 25 original poetry broadsides – many signed by the artists – from the University of Louisville’s White Fields Press Collection.

First published in the 1990s as part of White Fields Press’s Published in Heaven poster series, the exhibit includes work by some of the world’s most influential poets, writers, musicians, journalists, artists and cultural leaders along with correspondence between White Fields Press co-founder Ron Whitehead and the artists.

The collection serves as an introduction to modern and contemporary poetry for younger readers.

For those familiar with the poetry landscape, it serves as a refresher course covering some of the world’s most influential poets.

“Hundreds of children, teens and adults walk through the Bernheim Gallery daily, so even people who did not specifically come to see an art exhibit at the library can’t help but engage and interact with it in some way,” said Paul Burns, gallery director for the Louisville Free Public Library. “Providing access to knowledge and information at all stages of learning is what the library is all about. Accomplishing that goal in ways that engage youth in different and dynamic ways is why exhibits like this are vital.”

For poet and writer Ron Whitehead, the return of some of the Published in Heaven series is both enlightening and exciting. “I hope folks are uplifted and inspired to create their own original work,” he said, emphasizing the underlying need in many to listen closely to the creative forces within. “By living and being my dream, each and every moment is filled with inspired synchronicity,” he added. “I listen to my intuition. When I am gifted an image, a dream, a vision via the holy unholy realms of the creative imagination, I do all I can to help

it reach fruition, whether it be a new book or album or adventure.”

White Fields Press was established in 1992 by Whitehead and Kent Fielding, who also founded the movement Rant for the Literary Renaissance. White Fields Press produced several books, chapbooks and audio recordings that included poets such as Allen Ginsberg, Diane di Prima, Seamus Heaney, Lawrence Ferlinghetti, Amiri Baraka and Eithne Strong. Whitehead and Fielding gifted much of the work to the University of Louisville archives and special collections.

The opening of the exhibit will also serve as the launch of Whitehead’s new book and CD, “Kentucky Bound.”

“Poets, Rock Stars and Holy Men,” said Burns, showcases some of the best poetic minds of the past 50 years. “While poetry may not be the first thing that people think of when they think of Louisville, the work that came out of the White Fields Press is proof that that our city cultivates great art, and all Louisvillians can be proud of this unique collection,” said Burns. “It captures a highly creative and specific time that should be inspiring for people who have creative vision.” VT “Poets, Rock Stars, and Holy Men: A Literary Renaissance” will be on display at the Main Library (301 York St.) from Nov. 17, through Jan. 13. A free opening reception and poetry reading featuring Ron Whitehead will be held at the Main Library at 2 p.m. on Nov. 17. For more information, visit LFPL.org or call 502.574.1611.

Sadie Makes 4 Celebrates Grand Opening

O

n Nov. 10, a truly different kind of kids’ store opened its doors on Frankfort Avenue. At Sadie Makes 4, shoppers can find an eclectic mix of dÊcor, books, gifts, toys etc., all with an eye for quality, an element of art and design and fun. Items come from small, independent makers and are great for special gifts. While there, you can enjoy some espresso, have a snack and watch the kids play in a dedicated play area.

The idea for the store was born five years ago, around the same time that Lori Pritche had her fourth child (a surprise!) at the age of 46. That child was Sadie, and Sadie Makes 4. After Sadie was ready for kindergarten, the store was ready to be made real.

Follow the store on Facebook and Instagram @sadiemakes4. Store hours are 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. Monday through Saturday and 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Sunday.

What’s Cooking The latest in local food news

Local Chefs S Featured at Prestigious Beard House Dinner

ome of Louisville’s top culinary talent are headed to New York to show Kentucky has more to offer than just fried chicken and bourbon. Chef Ming Pu (The 502 Bar & Bistro) has assembled an all-star squad to cook at the Beard House on Jan. 23.

The dinner, called “Modern Kentucky,” will showcase proteins, produce and products from across the state like Shuckman’s Fish Company spoonfish caviar and Bourbon Barrel Foods.

“We’re taking traditional dishes and showing what Kentucky is really about,” Pu said. Guests often find Pu mixing traditional Taiwanese flavors from his childhood with the bounty of the Bluegrass state at The 502 Bar & Bistro – and he hopes to showcase that diversity at the Beard House.

Pu’s dishes include a riff on the aforementioned fried chicken in the form of Kentucky Fried Quail with Bourbon Barrel Foods smoked paprika and a nod to his heritage with Hokkaido scallops, brussels sprouts confit, Bourbon Barrel Foods smoked salt, Broadbent Country Ham and parmesan foam and black truffle vinaigrette.

In addition to Pu, other chefs participating in the dinner include Andrew McCabe (Bar Vetti), Mark Ford (Anoosh Bistro), James Moran (8UP Elevated Kitchen & Drinkery), Brad Menear (Fat Lamb) and Nokee Bucayu (Ashbourne Farms).

Located in New York City, the Beard House is part of the James Beard Foundation. Tickets are $180 and available at jamesbeard.org. This is Pu’s third time to cook at the Beard House, where he most recently spearheaded a Young Guns of Louisville dinner in 2017.

ome people need no introduction.

Some, like Carla Sue, can even get by on just their first name alone.

The longtime columnist penned her first story for The Voice of St. Matthews when she was just 10 years old. By her account, it was a “riveting” piece about a Sunday bridge party and dinner held by the ladies of Springdale Presbyterian Church. She wrote regular social columns from that point on and throughout her high school years, focusing on her neighborhood of Springdale/Worthington (located off of Hwy. 22.) Carla Sue took a short hiatus from writing when she married the love of her life, Brad Broecker, in 1961, and raised two daughters, Leslie and Amy. She returned to what became known as The Voice-Tribune in the late 1960s with a weekly column, Partyline, and turned in her last column earlier this year.

The active octogenarian has been around the world (literally) and around the block many times. She knows the secrets and she knows the scoop. Her columns took her into many of the most exclusive homes, the best parties and the most successful fundraisers. She never suffered a bore but was always gracious and held an enviable Rolodex.

Carla Sue and her husband are also successful fundraisers, giving and raising hundreds of thousands of dollars for charities across Louisville. They have a soft spot for the Louisville Deaf Oral School, now Heuser Hearing and Language Academy, and put their hearts into many fundraisers, including operating and running a resale shop called Fabulous Finds for more than 20

The Voice-Tribune’s longtime columnist discusses society, philanthropy and her legacy

years, all to benefit the school. When the shop closed, the Broeckers opened their expansive farm, Running Water, to brides and grooms looking for a memorable nuptial spot. The wedding rentals also benefited the school.

Their charitable endeavors garnered the couple the 2018 Philanthropists of the Year award by the Association of Fundraising Professionals of Greater Louisville.

Carla Sue’s deep-throated laugh is legendary, her wit acerbic and salty. She doesn’t mince words about her experiences over the years.

She took a few minutes out of her still-hectic schedule recently to be on the other side of the story with The Voice-Tribune.

Did you really write your first Voice column when you were 10 years old?

“

Yes, I did. I talk a lot, and everyone knew that,” Carla Sue stated. “At the time, every neighborhood cluster had its own column in The Voice of St. Matthews, saying things like ‘Springdale ladies entertained 16 for dinner after church. It was delicious.’ It was not interesting at all, but if you lived in the country, there wasn’t that much to do. I was at a party with my mother and The Voice’s publisher asked me if I read his paper.

I said, ‘No, there’s nothing interesting in it!’ He looked at me and said, ‘Well, then write something interesting.’

So, I did. I started writing what went on in Springdale and Worthington.

There were so few people out here that you knew everything that went on.

I can remember needing my mother for something, and I knew she was playing cards but not where she was. I called the Harrods Creek operator and said ‘Hi, I can’t find my mother. She is playing bridge somewhere in your area.’ The operator said, ‘Certainly!’

and found the number just on that information. The phone operators knew everything – who was sleeping with who, who was where and when.

So, I learned all the ways to get the news and make connections quickly.

In those days, no one cared what went on in other neighborhoods. We cared about what went on in our own neighborhood.”

She penned her first story for The Voice of St. Matthews when she was just 10 years old.

You left to raise a family, but you eventually returned to The Voice, correct?

“ “ “

There was a lapse of several years where I was raising the kids, but then one of The Voice’s owners approached me in the late 1960s and said, ‘Why don’t you write about your travels?’” she explained. “It then moved into entertaining and parties.

I’ve gone through several Voice owners, but the Partyline stayed through all.”

You are legendary in this town.

Oh, no, not legendary,” she responded. “I’m just old.”

Were you feared or revered by hostesses and event planners?

Oh, I’ll take revered,” she said with a belly laugh. “I tried to be really positive with charitable events.

You had the good events and then, you had to take the boring – church, school, club meetings and events – and treat them the same. I had to paint its face and make it look good, and I was good at that. I enjoyed going to most events because Brad and I like people.

Some events were worse than you could discuss or maybe you walked in on someone doing the dirty deed.

But, what about those bad events?

“

Some of the Derby parties were just awful, but you couldn’t hurt someone’s feelings,” she admitted. “I’d look at Brad and say, ‘Can we leave now?’ But I always wrote positive things about it. Sometimes, some events were worse than you could discuss or maybe you walked in on someone doing the dirty deed. You couldn’t put that in the story, of course, but you could allude to the fact that certain people had disappeared from the party. It was fun to do. As a kid, I kept a diary. As I got older and did this, I realized I didn’t need to keep a diary. I just needed to clip it out of the paper.”

What were your favorite events to cover?

“

By far, the best parties and events were ones that raised money for children’s charities,” she said. “You always felt good about it. You’d raise a lot of money then see the results later. In the best parties, the mix of people is the most important thing. It can be a hog-calling contest and if you have the right people there who are fun, delightful people, it will work. They don’t have to be elite society and come in their Jaguars, but whoever they are, they should always bring their checkbooks.”

Why did you and Brad choose to be so involved with the Louisville Deaf Oral School (now Heuser Hearing and Language Academy)?

“

When I was a member of the Women’s Club, someone asked me to serve on the Louisville Deaf Oral School’s board,” she recalled. “You know, my grandmother and all my aunts were probably deaf as posts, and I always thought everyone in my family just TALKED REALLY LOUD! So, I said yes. I realized then that there just was never enough money given to help these children, so we started raising money.

“I visited my friend Eleanor Goldberg in Florida for the winter, and she took me to this thrift shop and I had the best time,” she continued. “We talked all night about how we could do that to raise money for charity. We rented a building on Frankfort Avenue that actually once was my family’s dairy business, and we created Fabulous Finds. We called everyone we knew and said, ‘Here’s what we’re doing, either send us stuff, send a check or come and volunteer.’ And, amazingly, it worked. We were in business for more than 20 years, raising money for the school.

“My friends all helped in different ways,” she said. “Since I like poking around in people’s garages and yard sales, I became the caller. I’d pick up the phone and say, ‘Hey, I heard you’re getting a divorce and if there’s anything you don’t want, I’ll take it.’ Or, ‘If your poor Aunt Maude dies, give us a call and we’ll pick up her furniture.’” That was my job. I’m nosy, I’m curious and I love seeing what’s in people’s houses.

We were always the first ones at the funeral home visitations.

We were shameless, but we raised a lot of money.”

A MINUTE WITH

CARLA SUE BROECKER

I

n the tradition of James Lipton’s popular questionnaire at the end of his “Inside the Actors’ Studio” television show, we prompted Carla Sue with the list of rapid-fire, stream-of-consciousness questions used on that show:

We’ll all drop dead, and someone else will pick up the party.

What is your favorite word?

“Love.”

What is your favorite curse word?

“Shit.”

What turns you on creatively, spiritually or emotionally?

“Love.”

What angers you?

“Can I name names?” (Laughs) “People who are not generous or giving.”

What sound do you love?

“I love the peace and quiet, but I’d say I also love classical piano.”

What profession other than your own would you have attempted?

“I don’t know – I had no ambition.

I was just a kid from the country and I fell into this because the paper’s owner engaged me in conversation one day and told me to write something I’d read. I never looked back.”

What is your idea of perfect happiness?

“Knowing I could live another 30 years with my husband, Brad. I’d like to say 50 years, but we’re too damn old for that.”

Which historical figure do you identify with?

“Queen Victoria because she always had her way. She had the doo-das to do her work, she married the man she loved and she ruled the world, or most of it.”

If heaven exists, what would you like God to say when you arrive at the pearly gates?

“Actually, I’d rather be the one to ask him a question. I’d say, ‘Where is everyone? Where’s the party?!’”

26

“

You know, if I liked you, I kept your secrets,” she said. “I’ve seen a lot of the good, bad and ugly, but honestly, most things turn out OK around Louisville. There are always going to be shitty people in the world, but the trick is to never listen to them. Just smile and move on. There’s always a better person somewhere. Louisville is a nice place to live and raise children. People are friendly. The weather is iffy, but what can you do? But I think in Podunk, Iowa, it must be nice, too. It’s always about the people you meet. Nice people make nice places.”

F E AT U R E

Did you see yourself as the keeper of Louisville society’s deepest secrets?

How is Louisville society changing with the times?

“

When I look back, there would be the rich women having lunches or playing bridge or the quilting parties at churches,” she commented. “No one has quilting parties anymore. It’s different things now, and people move on. There’s always a generation coming along who is in the spot where you were when you were their age. We’ll all drop dead, and someone else will pick up the party.

“Social media is a foreign object to me, but it’s everywhere now,” she said. “But something else will always come along that will put that in the shade. It will be some new way to raise money for charity. I think life goes on, and supposedly it gets better. People will always give to help others.”

Nice people make nice places.

What is your legacy in the society annals of Louisville?

“

I told good stories,” she maintained. “It’s simple.

People like to be liked. They like to be wanted. They like to be needed. It builds their self-esteem, and they go out and they do wonderful things because it makes them feel great, and that’s fine by me. I’ll write about how wonderful you are because you’ve done something, even if you’re an ass the rest of the time, you still did that one good thing. It’s just our world. I was reading a history of 15th century France and England recently, and so much of it is like now. Everyone wants to be the top of the hill, the best. Today, there are just different hills and ways to get there.”

How do you sum up your long run as The Voice’s society columnist?

“

I met everyone,” she said. “I always loved talking with old people. Old people do it their way. They don’t care about being in the paper, and they were the most fun to interview. I loved writing for The Voice. It was a pain in the ass sometimes, but I honestly loved doing it. I met wonderful, fun people, and of course, the eccentric ones, too.

“Life is good most of the time,” she expressed. “I enjoy laughing and I enjoy life. It’s had its shitty moments, but I have friends who never see the blue sky. It’s always cloudy for them, and I couldn’t live like that. I don’t know how I’d cure that other than maybe having a bourbon.” VT

5 Questions to Ask When Choosing a Memory Care Community

W

by Kristin Davenport

hen a senior in your family is diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease or another form of cognitive loss, choosing the right memory care can be a challenging process.

Opting for placement in a senior living community like Episcopal Church Home (ECH) in Louisville might be the best course of action, but you’ll naturally have many questions about which care center might be the right fit.

Your family should ask these five questions when choosing a retirement community or memory care provider for the senior you care about.

1. Is the memory care center designed for “safe wandering”?

Wandering is a typical symptom in people with dementia — 60 percent of those with advanced dementia exhibit the behavior.

Today’s standards of care encourage walking in safe spaces, as it may help to preserve and extend cognitive function.

2. What’s the resident-to-staff ratio?

When you’re choosing a residential memory care community for your loved one, look for one that has fewer residents per staff member.

When you visit, watch to see if staff members know each person in their care, including their likes, dislikes, and regular behaviors.

The lower the ratio, the more individualized time and attention is given to each person receiving care.

3. What memory care therapies or social engagement do you provide?

Does the memory care home provide therapeutic movement sessions like yoga, or

30

music or art therapy? Each is associated with improvements in recall, reductions in outbursts, and more reported contentment and happiness. They may even slow the inevitable decline.

It is ideal for all residents to be encouraged to participate fully in activities around the campus. Ask if there is a calendar available and if events are open to families joining in.

Engaging in life, not simply being busy, can help your loved one maintain a sense of connection to you and to their new community.

4. Have you designed the best possible spaces for memory care?

Memory care apartments should be bright, warm, and welcoming for residents and their families. Look for fresh and vibrant spaces with bursts of energizing colors throughout the decor. Take notice of the kitchen and dining areas. Which features catch your eye?

Does it look like a place you would want to call home? When you tour a resident’s room, what features do you notice? Are the furnishings attractive? Would the walls accommodate family photos and other individual preferences?

At ECH, each bedroom doorway features a beautiful curio display for personal mementos that are precious to the resident and their family members. This personalization is welcoming and provides a fitting transition from private space to community space while giving clues to the resident about which door is theirs.

Pay close attention to safety features.

Are they included in the design of the resident bathrooms? The flooring should be a slip-resistant surface with a texture

that helps residents maintain stability as they navigate throughout the room.

5. Does the community fit your family’s budget?

Will your loved one’s retirement income and/or nest egg support the monthly cost of his or her residential memory care at your first-choice community? Will it accept your relative’s long-term care insurance or Medicare supplement plan? What happens if your parent or grandparent outlives his or her resources?

At Episcopal Church Home we promise families — as part of our not-for-profit, person-centered care mission — that their loved ones will never be asked to leave due to financial hardship. Care for elders who outlive their resources is subsidized by generous community donations to our Promise Fund.

Ask the right questions when choosing a memory care facility for your loved one.

The older adult care advocates at Episcopal Church Home (ECH) want to help your loved ones when a transition to memory care is the best choice.

We’d love to show you around and let you see the difference that person-centered, dignified care makes in our residents’ lives.

ccording to recent articles, isolation among adults 50 and over has reached epidemic levels. Some of the reasons include the changes in American society: 45 percent of folks over 65 are divorced, separated, or widowed; 42 percent have some type of disability; and, people who reach 65 are living much longer than previous generations.

A recent study in England found that one-fifth of adults over 75 had contact with another person less than once a week, and one in ten said less than once a month. In 2009, a Pew Research report found that one in six Americans described their lives as lonely. Fear of things like driving can also contribute to isolation and loneliness.

There are also health issues. Loneliness harms your brain. In a Dutch study of dementia-free people, it was found that at the end of three years, twice as many developed dementia who had previously described their lives as lonely, compared with the others who

1 1 . 1 5 . 2 0 1 8 V O I C E -T R I B U N E . C O M

were social. Loneliness causes heart trouble.

A Swedish study found that lonely people had 2.5 times more coronary artery disease.

Finally, a study by the University of California found that seniors who said they were happy and had a good social life experienced half the rate of health problems as the ones who were isolated.

So, what’s a guy (or gal) to do? Stop “hibernating” and start living!

• Become more social media savvy! A survey of seniors in October 2017 revealed that 77 percent use email to stay in touch with friends and family and 53 percent use social media sites like Facebook. Facebook offers plenty of opportunities to participate in “watercooler” discussions of current goings-on, such as movies. Don’t you feel more motivated to get out and see a movie if your friends are talking about it?

• Have transportation options. If your car has become an albatross, maybe it’s time to

take advantage of the transportation available to residents at retirement communities like The Forum. You’ll get door-to-door service, and think of how much you’ll save on car expenses!

• Sign up for a class or activity. Most retirement communities like The Forum offer educational opportunities and programs. This is an outstanding way to learn new things and meet new friends. Want to bowl but afraid you can’t lift the ball? No problem. Try our video bowling!

S P E C I A L A DV E RT I S I N G S E C T I O N

Prescriptions for Loneliness!

• Finally, if you are living alone, you could be loving life in our little village! The AARP article says that seniors who move into retirement communities where conversation and social activities are easy to access most often say they wish they had moved sooner! Ask most any Forum resident and you will hear the same thing. Do it today!

How do you customize activity?

Our activity programming schedules interactions with residents that meet their oneon-one needs. For example, we have a volunteer who does visits with individual residents who don’t like group events. Other volunteers offer a genealogy class and entertain on weekends playing the flute. As our residents’ interests change, our programming changes.

What about specific care?

Our nursing care is individualized. We can take care of a resident with a feeding tube or a patient who requires wound care as well as offer memory care activities.

he Kentucky Humane Society has launched a “Seniors for Seniors” program to encourage people age 65 or older to adopt a senior dog or cat. Dogs age seven or older can be adopted for $30, and cats age seven or older can be adopted for $10.

There are many benefits to having a senior pet: • Companion animals can help improve our physical and mental health, leading to lowered stress levels and blood pressure, and lower incidence of depression.

• Loneliness has been associated with heart disease, Alzheimer’s disease, and other negative outcomes, but older adults who owned pets were 36 percent less likely to say they were lonely than those who didn’t have a furry friend, according to a study by Aging & Mental Health.

• The quiet and doting home of a senior citizen is the perfect match for an older animal looking for a new home.

• Senior animals have typically lived in a home before, and they are often calmer and are already trained.

View adoptable pets at www.kyhumane.org or call 502-272-1070 for information.

Gilda’s Night at Louisville Collegiate School.

All About F Gilda

By Janice Carter Levitch

Aidita Bartolomei and Ingrid Hernandez.

ourteen years ago, the first ever Gilda’s Night was held and what a difference it has made in the lives of so many people in our community. Rodes For Him For Her along with Bittners has partnered annually to bring this amazing evening to life.

I can remember the first Gilda’s Night I attended was held at Bittners.

A tent was set up on Washington Street directly behind their building.

And of course, walking through that spectacular showroom without wanting to buy all of the gorgeous furnishings is no easy task (I need blinders on to keep my focus so I won’t immediately have everything in sight shipped to my home).

One of the live auction items up for bid that night was a ski trip to Colorado. Being an avid snow skier, I raised my paddle as the auctioneer began the bidding and before I knew it, the trip was mine. That was the first time I realized I should sit on my hands when any live auction begins. The slightest movement could attract the auctioneer my way.

This year, Gilda’s Night was held at Louisville Collegiate School. I’ve been visiting

Collegiate for more than 12 years (both of my kiddos graduated from LCS), and I was curious how the gymnasium could possibly be transformed into an elegant venue for several hundred guests. All my doubts washed away as soon as I stepped foot inside. Large panels of drapery and a stage area with video screens on each side of the emcee’s podium had been added. In Gilda’s red fashion, the lighting was the perfect hue of rouge.

A special treat was the exquisite introductory film of the evening presented

by Bittners. It was a visual fairytale without any commentary necessary.

The event’s honorary chairs, Bill and Susan Yarmuth, have to be the most lovable couple around. I rarely saw them without a smile through most of the evening. Annette Grisanti, founding chair, buzzed around welcoming guests while tending to every last detail possible to make the evening perfect (her theme song, at least in my head, is “Flight of the Bumblebee”). Lindy Street looked absolutely stylish in a fashionable ensemble that made me want to help her check her coat so I could “accidentally” take it

home with me.

A few remarks were made about Dean “Deano” Corbett, who was a dear friend of Gilda’s Club.

“It was always about the love. When Dean asked you for support, you gave it.

When he asked you to attend, you went,” said Kathy Cary, owner of Lilly’s restaurant.

Deano would often say to Gilda’s Club Chief Development Officer Tonya Cook, “What do you need, honey?” His is an example we can all follow – asking how we can help.

President of Bittners Douglas Riddle took the time to speak with as many of the guests as possible. You would never know by his calm demeanor how crazy busy he is behind the scenes. Laura Frazier, chairman of Bittners, received the prestigious Emily Award for her support and giving of $1,000,000 (no, that’s not a typo).

The evening was a tremendous success with several anonymous donors pledging every amount from $100 to $50,000.

Organizations like Gilda’s Club make our community unique and the amount of people giving seems to never end. VT 1 1 . 1 5 . 2 0 1 8 V O I C E -T R I B U N E . C O M

Seiller Waterman LLC attorney Joseph H. Cohen receives Justice Martin E. Johnstone Special Recognition Award, while the Probate & Estate Section, chaired by colleague C. Shawn Fox, is being recognized as LBA Co-Section of the Year.

Cohen, who focuses on commercial real estate at Seiller Waterman LLC, received the award from the Louisville Bar Association (LBA) in acknowledgement for his service as general bar counsel of the LBA and the Louisville Bar Center, Inc. for the past 25 years.

It is the highest recognition bestowed upon an LBA member for their outstanding level of participation and partnership with the legal community.

Each year, LBA members are asked to nominate fellow members for LBA awards. The LBA Executive Committee makes the final decision on all LBA awards.

“I was first invited to be a member of the LBA in 1970, selected in 1980 to become a board member and served for a few years as director. At that time,

the Bar Association had its facility in the basement of a trust company. It was quite dusty and sparse,” said Cohen. “I was able to assist the association in securing its own property, which are quite nice facilities for seminars and programming and operations.”

involved with the Bar Association and coordinated with the judiciary to address an issue involving powers of attorney and the recent change in the law in that area. With the amazing lawyers in our section, this was a great year,” stated Fox.

He also focuses on prosecuting trademark and copyright registration applications and litigating trademark and copyright infringement.

During the course of his career, Cohen has achieved the Martindale-Hubbell distinguished rating of AV Preeminent. He has also been named in Louisville Magazine in the practice of commercial law, construction law and real estate law as one of the best lawyers in Louisville for several years. Cohen, with the assistance of his son Ross, a Louisville-based tax attorney, on behalf of the LBA as a sponsor, helped organize the charitable entity Doctors and Lawyers for Kids, which has become an important community resource.

In addition to Cohen, fellow Seiller Waterman LLC attorney Fox, who chairs the LBA Probate & Estate Section, will accept the award for Co-Section of the Year. “I enjoy serving our community and bringing groups together to make things happen. This year proved to be a real opportunity for that. We coordinated with local schools to get students (our future lawyers) more

PETS OF THE WEEK Scarlett is a 1-year-old Boxer mix who came to the Kentucky Humane Society from an overcrowded shelter. She was enrolled in our Behavior Modification program to gain confidence in new situations. Scarlett has shown that once she is comfortable, she shows her true spunky and goofy personality, but she does take time to warm up to new people. Scarlett can still be a little nervous when receiving pets from unknown people so she is still working on that. By pairing light brief touches to her head and body with yummy treats she is learning that physical attention is a good thing and something to look forward to. We are unsure if she would enjoy the company of other dogs, but she does love to lounge around with her special person and cuddle on the couch.

Scarlett likes chasing toys, giving kisses and nuzzling her face into you like a cat. She is spayed, micro-chipped and up-todate on vaccinations. Come meet Scarlett today at the St. Matthews Feeders Supply, 4600 Shelbyville Road.

For more on Scarlett or any of our adoptable pets, please call 502-366-3355 or visit kyhumane.org Meet the gorgeous and lovely Zoey. Zoey is a threeyear-old calico kitty with a beautiful medium-length coat. This sweetheart came to the Kentucky Humane Society when her owner could no longer care for her. Now she’s ready to settle down in a true forever home! Zoey has a very sweet personality and seems to love everyone she meets. She’s a smaller girl weighing only 6 lbs but had so much love to give. Could you be the one for Zoey? Zoey is spayed, micro-chipped and up-to-date on all vaccinations. Come meet Zoey today at the Fern Creek Feeders Supply, 6820 Bardstown Rd.
