EDITOR’S NOTE

Letter Editor

FROM THE

Nearly seven decades ago, The Voice-Tribune debuted as a weekly, neighborhood tell-all newspaper that focused on the St. Matthews area. During its 69 years and multiple iterations, it evolved into a weekly publication that covers philanthropy, society, the arts, nonprofits, businesses, food, fashion and the people and places that make up the tapestry of our community. But this is it.

This is the last weekly issue of The Voice-Tribune. Beginning next week, The Voice will emerge as a glossy, beautiful monthly publication – free on stands thanks to our advertising partners – that will continue to cover what our readers have made clear they deem important. This means we will no longer publish on a weekly basis. Instead, we are focusing our efforts on providing a once-a-month edition while continuing our weekly newsletter, event coverage, online presence at voice-tribune.com and curating our social media content daily.

The Voice of Louisville is here to stay as we head into our 70th year. Angie Fenton Editor in Chief

St. Matthews Middletown Lexington 8

We’re just going to give it a bit of a makeover. As always, and especially now, thank you for your continued support. Truly,

Show Time! By Laura Ross

t’s almost ho-ho-ho-holiday time and our local arts organizations are gearing up to celebrate the season. From traditional favorites to new entries, Louisville has something for everyone. Check websites for ticket information and show times as the dates draw near. Remember, if you’re attending an event or performance at the Kentucky Center for the Arts, allow extra time to navigate construction on Main Street and the ongoing renovation at the KCA following the fire there earlier this year. Grab the family and celebrate the holidays with the arts. Here’s a sampling of some of the treats decking the halls and stages in Louisville this season.

VOICES OF KENTUCKIANA – RED AND GREEN - AN ELECTRIC HOLIDAY CELEBRATION VOICES of Kentuckiana will present “RED and GREEN – An Electric Holiday Celebration” at the Kentucky Center’s Bomhard Theater at 5 p.m. on Dec. 9. Founded in 1994, VOICES of Kentuckiana provides the opportunity for LGBT community members and allies to sing together and celebrate diversity through artistic excellence. “RED and GREEN – An Electric Holiday Celebration” will be a joyful, fun show full of traditional holiday fare and songs that will make a statement during this holiday season. The concert will be “electrified” with keyboards, guitar and percussion for a lively and memorable show. Tickets are $20 for adults and $15 for students and seniors and are available at kentuckycenter.org/presents or by phone at 502.584.7777 or 800.775.7777.

THE BROWN-FORMAN NUTCRACKER WITH THE LOUISVILLE BALLET

‘Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer: The Musical.’

The Louisville Ballet returns with perennial audience favorite, “The Brown-Forman Nutcracker,” for several performances from Dec. 8-23, with sparkling sets and costumes and all the magic of the Sugar Plum Fairy. Additionally, the Louisville Ballet will also host a separate event, the Sugar Plum Party, during the run of the Nutcracker. Children will enjoy a pre-show party with the children’s casts from the production. Tickets are $25 per person and include food, drinks, photos with cast members, special art projects and live entertainment. Tickets to the Nutcracker performance are not included in the Sugar Plum Party. Tickets are available at louisvilleballet.org for both “The Brown-Forman Nutcracker” and the Sugar Plum Party.

NUTCRACKER FAMILY STORY TIME WITH THE LOUISVILLE BALLET If you can’t make the Nutcracker performances at the Kentucky Center (or have little ones who might squirm too much in a long performance) head over to the Louisville Free Public Library for special story times featuring dancers from “The Brown-Forman Nutcracker.” The Library will host free, all-ages story times featuring a Louisville Ballet dancer reading the classic holiday story “The Nutcracker,” followed by crafts and activities. One family will also receive four tickets to see the Louisville Ballet’s production of “The Brown-Forman Nutcracker.” Learn more at lfpl.org/ events. All story times start at 6:30 p.m. at the following library locations: Nov. 28 – South Central Regional Library Dec. 11 – Southwest Regional Library Dec. 12 – Fern Creek Library

RUDOLPH THE RED-NOSED REINDEER: THE MUSICAL Guide your family’s sleigh over to the Brown Theatre for one of the most treasured Christmas stories around, when Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer comes out of the TV screen and onto the stage with a musical treat for the entire family. All the characters will be on stage for the classic tale, including Santa and Mrs. Claus, Hermey the Elf, the Abominable Snow Monster, Clarice, Yukon Cornelius and, of course, Rudolph. “Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer” takes flight Dec. 16, with performances at 2 p.m. and 7 p.m. at the Brown Theatre, 315 W.

SPOTLIGHT

Martinis & Mistletoe Photos by Tim Valentino

Kat Lewis and Nita Duechle.

MAC Museum is well known for its annual KMAC Couture fashion show each spring, but throughout the year, the museum is known for carrying extraordinary items in the shop. On. Dec. 6, the museum will host Martinis & Mistletoe, a lively experience that includes cocktails, music and shopping. To learn more, we spoke with KMAC Museum’s Communications Manager Maddie Tong.

WHAT TO EXPECT “Martinis & Mistletoe is our kickoff to the holiday shopping season,” Tong said. “Each year in early December, we deck the halls, stay open late, turn up the music and mix up some special-recipe martinis. We also offer an extra discount in the shop to all of our wonderful KMAC Museum members.” At the shopping extravaganza, guests will

get to browse through new merchandise, with pieces such as hand-carved Santas from Joe Offerman of Owensboro, quilted pieces from the local nonprofit Anchal Project and more. “The pieces in our shop are unique and exclusive,” said Tong. “Other local vendors will be in attendance as well, so expect to check off a lot of names on your holiday shopping list in one evening. We’ll also be featuring some gorgeous balloon art displays from contemporary artist Janice Lee Kelly and, of course, (serving) those martinis. “One of the most special things about the KMAC Shop is that every single item we carry is thoughtfully selected by our wonderful shop manager Julia Comer,” Tong continued. “As an artist and designer herself, Julia has great taste and recognizes the value of carrying local artists and handmade items. 1 1 . 2 2 . 2 0 1 8 V O I C E -T R I B U N E .

There’s nothing quite like a handmade gift, and Louisville is such a great town for the arts and small businesses.”

HOW IT HELPS Proceeds from every shop purchase support KMAC exhibitions and education, meaning everything from helping put on exhibitions to buying art supplies for field trips. “As a free museum, we really rely on our shop proceeds to help us fulfill our mission of connecting people to art and creative practice,” she explained.

LOOKING AHEAD There’s always something going on at KMAC, and locals of all ages are encouraged to learn how they can get involved. “Check out our adult workshops in screen

printing from 6 to 8 p.m. on Dec. 7 or Dec. 11,” Tong said. “On Dec. 15, we’ll be opening a new exhibition on our second floor: ‘Clay Bodies: Moving Through Ceramics,’ by contemporary artist Sarah Crowner. We’re also offering winter art camps in December and January.” You can keep up with all of the museum’s events by following @KMACMuseum on Facebook, Twitter or Instagram, or by visiting KMACMuseum.org. “I’m looking forward to seeing everyone gathered in support of shopping locally this season,” Tong continued. “It’s so easy to order gifts through big online retailers, but shopping small makes such a big difference to our community. I’m also very much looking forward to seeing the shop and museum decked out to the max.” VT

You Can Still I Hear The Voice, 69 Years Later As The Voice celebrates a major milestone and transition, we take a look back at how the publication has evolved. By Steve Kaufman

t was July 1949, hot and humid in mid-summer Louisville. It was even hotter in Siberia, where the Soviet Union had just detonated its first-ever atomic bomb. Harry Truman was in the fourth year of his presidency, eight months after defeating Thomas Dewey in the 1948 election, despite the famously premature “DEWEY DEFEATS TRUMAN” headline in the Chicago Tribune. That summer, Bear Bryant was beginning to assemble his 1949 Wildcat football squad around another sophomore hopeful, quarterback Vito Parilli, who ran the newfangled T-formation. At Louisville, football was more or less an afterthought. The Cards were still playing the likes of Catawba and Evansville. In 1949, Johnny Unitas was a 16-year-old quarterback and halfback at St. Justin’s High School in Pittsburgh. Very few Americans knew where Korea was, yet.

1952: Al Schansberg acquires The Voice, merges it with the Jeffersontownbased Jeffersonian and creates The Voice-Jeffersonian.

1949: St. Matthews: Your Community Newspaper is founded. One month later, 4-year-old Martha “Cissy” May is awarded $100 for winning a contest to name the publication, which becomes The Voice of St. Matthews. 20

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

On July 14, about 5,000 St. Matthews mailboxes contained the very first copy of St. Matthews: Your Community Newspaper. “It is your newspaper,” said a front-page editorial. “Greetings, St. Matthews. We are merely servants of the people of St. Matthews. It is up to you to determine the editorial policy of the paper. The publication will be non-political and non-religious.” And, addressing an issue very much on the minds of independent, suburban St. Matthews at the time, “We are neither for nor against annexation.” The big news on the front page was the opening of the third annual Potato Festival. Pee Wee King and the Golden West Cowboys were going to entertain. Also Uncle Hiram, “The Juggling Clown.” Daredevil Don Woods was going to parachute out of a balloon at 1,000 feet.

Truckloads of Gordon’s Potato Chips were going to be given away each evening. A 1949 Buick was going to be raffled off. A $500,000 shopping center was announced at Brownsboro Road and Rudy Lane. And a contest, with a $100 prize, was launched to name the new newspaper.

THE VOICE A month later, St. Matthews got its Voice. The response came from the contest winner, four-year-old Martha ”Cissy” May. She was to get only $25 of the $100 – splitting the rest with her family – and intended to buy a tricycle with it. (A few years ago, Dr. Martha May McCarthy, now a professor at Indiana University, told The Voice that, actually, she doesn’t remember ever getting the money from her parents.) Like so many long-term ventures, the

original owner’s paper thrived for a while, then encountered the ebbing and flowing tides of shifting populations, economic changes and consumers’ tastes and habits. In 1952, the paper was acquired by Al Schansberg, who later bought the Jeffersontown-based Jeffersonian and eventually merged the two papers into The Voice-Jeffersonian. Ownership then passed to Bruce Van Dusen (1971); the Scripps-Howard newspaper chain (1979); Bill Matthews (1981); and John Waits (1982). On Sept. 3, 1986, Waits published the final edition, seemingly putting an end to a gallant 1,930-week run.

OUT OF THE ASHES But seven months later, April 3, 1987, under a banner declaring The New Voice, the paper was back in business under

the aegis of the Southern Publishing Co. and chairman John Harralson. “I’d been the editor of employee publications for the telephone company,” Harralson says. “My mother had worked for the weekly newspaper in Central City, and I always thought it would be fun to have a weekly newspaper like that one. I modeled the paper after her paper – weddings, obituaries but also other local news. And lots of pictures!” In fact, he says, some of the reporters used to complain, “Harralson’s trying to make Life magazine out of it.” “But then, when they saw our circulation numbers go up and up because of all that local coverage, they changed their tune.” Among the new innovations were the additions to the staff of well-known and respected sports journalist Earl Cox and social columnist Carla Sue Broecker. Lucie Blodgett returned to The Voice’s pages the following week. It was a homecoming for Carla Sue, who wrote a weekly column for The Voice in the

early days when she was in high school. “I wrote a column about the Springdale and Worthington communities where I lived,” she recalls. What did she write about? Everything from Sunday dinners and quilting parties to more significant efforts. At one point, Carla Sue’s mother and a few other neighborhood women worked to get a school bus and cafeteria facilities at Worthington Grade School for the children of tenant farmers in the area who otherwise had to walk three miles to school every day. Early sports coverage favored the University of Kentucky Wildcats since Harralson was an alumnus. UK-inclined Cox, who passed away in December 2016, regaled readers with his clear-eyed recollections of people he’d known and games he’d covered around the Commonwealth over the decades. Though many things changed in those early years, Harralson chose to keep The

Voice’s distinctive logo. The cursive V in the Belwe (rhymes with “twelve”) Roman Old Style type font remained the paper’s signature for another 20 years. Along the way, The New Voice name was dropped “because some people thought we were a religious newspaper or part of the New Age movement,” said Harralson, and in 1994, the paper was renamed The Voice-Tribune because “one of the meanings of the word ‘tribune’ is champion of the people and that’s what we’d like The Voice-Tribune to be.” Harralson bulked up the paid subscriptions and total readership came close to 60,000. The Voice was also the first newspaper in Kentucky to use a computer for typesetting. “In 1987, we paid about $3,000 for a few little square Apple computers,” he said. “The writers would use them to write, then we’d remove a wire and take it to the back room, and the production people would

on his MasterCard. But he enjoyed it too much to let it go.

STAYING IN THE PICTURE An inveterate camera bug, Harralson was a constant presence on the society scene, taking pictures of people gathering and enjoying themselves, and publishing those pictures in the paper. He established a regular full page of photos that, along with Broecker’s Partyline and Blodgett’s Social Side, offered a fun, cultural review of the citizenry that Louisvillians weren’t getting anywhere else. “I was out almost seven nights a week, attending functions, taking pictures,” he recalls. “Derby parties, formal events. I wore out about three tuxedos.” “He never looked happier than when he was out with people, taking pictures,” Broecker says. “He’d stay out all night.” “It got me into places I might not otherwise have had access to,” Harralson agrees. “Most people love to have their

pictures taken, especially when they’re all dressed up and happy.” The photo page grew to several pages, of galleries now shot by staff photographers as well as freelance contributors, including the much-loved Harralson. The 91-year-old still attends parties, football games, galas, meetings and Derby events. The former news editor, Jacob Glassner, explained to me once how local coverage was the exclusive province of the community newspapers and why community newspapers were continuing to thrive. “People love to see pictures in print of their friends,” he said, outlining The Voice’s secret sauce, “and they especially love to see pictures in print of themselves.” “Yes,” says Broecker, an observer of the Louisville cultural scene for lo these past 35 years, “and they also like to see when their neighbors have had big parties, and they weren’t invited.” Eventually, Harralson sold the paper in

take the copy off the wire and print the paper from it.” However, newspapers in general were undergoing a societal change. The “champions of the people” were having to share the crown with cable television’s 24-hour news programming and, later, with the real-time news of the Internet. And that medium continued to evolve, from mainframe monitors on workers’ desks to streamlined, transportable computers on people’s laps to smartphones under everyone’s thumb. Big city afternoon newspapers were the first to go because most people headed home to get the latest news on television. Then, even the mainstay morning dailies suffered because people began to prefer logging onto the Internet instead. Some major U.S. cities have found themselves without a daily newspaper where once they had several. The Voice struggled, too. Harralson remembers putting a lot of his own money into keeping it going and putting the payroll

The Voice of Louisville – a glossy publication and quarterly supplement to The Voice-Tribune – made its debut in 2012. As for looks, the iconic “V” has graced the cover since 2006 thanks to former art director Josh Keown, who is now the art director of Pizza Today, a national, award-winning industry publication headquartered in Louisville. And on Jan. 1, 2015, The Voice-Tribune transitioned from the traditional broadsheet newspaper format and premiered its first issue as a modern tabloid-style magazine.

In 2019, however, The Voice will celebrate 70 years and kick off its platinum anniversary with a major change: going monthly. The Voice will be published as a high-quality, glossy, monthly magazine. Thanks to advertising partners, the publication will remain free on stands around town, and the amount of distributed copies will nearly triple. And, subscribers can still have the publication delivered to their homes. The Voice’s website will receive a fresh face and will have new content uploaded daily, as will the Facebook, Instagram and Twitter pages.

Iconic “T Moments By Janice Carter Levitch

here’s only one thing in life, and that’s the continual renewal of inspiration.” –Diana Vreeland When Laura Snyder (our stylish and smart-to-boot publisher) and Angie Fenton (our editor in chief, who, I for one, am convinced is a reincarnated movie star from the golden screen era) announced in our weekly editorial meeting that The Voice-Tribune would be going monthly, I threw my hands in the air like a fiveyear-old who had just been handed the keys to the candy shop. How utterly exciting – going monthly – and a tremendous decision that I’m sure didn’t happen over just one cup of coffee or a few jiggers of some lovely libation. I could

only imagine it like a scene from a movie with Angie as an Eva Perón type and Laura as Meryl Streep – somewhere between “The Devil Wears Prada” and “The Post” (when she played Katharine Graham, the first female publisher of a major American newspaper). Lots of things are accomplished in the conference room at our office, and I can’t imagine how they make decisions without me there for every single one. But I am known to be out seeking entertainment and amusement, and can’t hold still for long. Cut to the next scene of this movie in which I am reflecting on the nostalgia I have for The Voice-Tribune. The earliest memory I can recall was my mother reading through the weekly newsletter that was sprinkled around the St. Matthews area. It seemed

fascinating to me that it generated so much interest and from then on, I was a fan. There was a time when if you saw your photograph appear in the society section, you could walk into the office, speak to Sir John Harralson and request a copy of that photograph. There was a dark room in the back of the office where each order was hand printed. I still have several of mine that I ordered, and included one of those special photographs in this issue (I know, sentimental). With only past images to grace the pages of my last weekly column, may they inspire you to reminisce about your own memories of what the weekly has meant to you as we move forward and welcome in the monthly. A wise decision was made to open the gateway to a new era for this iconic publication. Keep an eye out for my column, Let Me Tell You, now expanding into four pages of entertainment and amusement.

BUSINESS

Guaranteed Rate just rolled out a 40-year mortgage with a 10-year interest only plan. According to Oyler, another unique aspect of Guaranteed Rate’s business is the variety of loan products they offer. Traditional banks have just a few options for their customers to choose from. But Guaranteed Rate has a variety of products that can help meet the needs of almost any customer. First-time homebuyers, for example, might need help with their down payment, and Guaranteed Rate has options to assist them. There are products for those who are self-employed and write off most of their expenses, leaving them with a low taxable income. The company offers jumbo transactions for those buying more expensive homes and might need a lower payment at first but plan to pay the home off within a few years. Oyler said Guaranteed Rate just rolled out a 40-year mortgage with a 10-year interest-only payment. The Louisville office has seven loan originators and does all of its processing locally. There is even a loan specialist who focuses solely on renovation mortgages. “Other lenders have renovation products, but this individual is dedicated only to renovation,” Oyler said. “Right now, the housing market is very hot. A seller is likely to have several offers, and the home might sell for well over the list price. A seller might have a nice house, but they would like to do some upgrades to the home before putting it on the market. We could do a renovation and include the cost of upgrading bathrooms, kitchens and whatever. That’s become a really good part of our business here.” Oyler said customers shopping for a mortgage should consider choosing Guaranteed Rate because of the variety of loans offered but also the extensive experience in the office. “We have a very seasoned group,” she said. “I’m talking about people who have been in the business 20, 25, 30 years. I think that you can’t replace the experience and the knowledge that our people have.” Oyler, who worked at a bank for the past 17 years before joining Guaranteed Rate, said what values most about the company over a traditional bank is its willingness to give back. Prioritizing the needs of customers is part of their core value system but so 1 1 . 2 2 . 2 0 1 8 V O I C E -T R I B U N E . C O M

The Guaranteed Rate Foundation has given back more than $300,000 to domestic violence survivors in 2018, and the office recently gave more than 1,000 items to a local school supply drive. “It’s not just about the money we make; it’s about our ability to give back,” Oyler said. “We do great things when we give people money, but it’s the other great things that Guaranteed Rate stands for that I feel are really important.” VT

Business Briefs INDEPENDENCE CELEBRATES GRAND OPENING OF ST. MATTHEWS SQUARE

Independence Bank celebrated the grand opening of their new signature location on Nov. 13, with a ribbon-cutting ceremony and grand opening event. The location is named St. Matthews Square in honor of the St. Matthews community and Saint Matthew, the Patron Saint of Bankers, and stands at 3901 Shelbyville Road. This location will replace the temporary location at 2120 High Wickham Pl. Construction of the 8,220-square-foot building began shortly after the groundbreaking ceremony on Nov. 28, 2017. Calhoun Construction Services of Louisville, headed by John Hinshaw, served as the general contractor, and local subcontractors were used for various portions of the construction. The design of St. Matthews Square was inspired by Independence Hall in Philadelphia and is modeled after Independence Bankâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first three-story signature building in Owensboro, Kentucky. While historic on the outside, the two-story building features a modern workplace on the inside. Various features of the structure pay tribute to the rich heritage of the St. Matthews community and the city of Louisville, including a custom stained glass skylight in the lobby. Created by Lynchburg Stained Glass, the panels depict 25 iconic images that are significant to the community. Among the panels are scenes honoring businesses that were once located on the site Independence Bank now occupies and pays tribute to their importance to the St. Matthews community. Those scenes include the Gilmanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Pointe Tavern, the original namesake of the area when it was first settled, and Bank of St. Matthews, circa 1921. As an additional tribute to the community, the plans for the construction of the building were drawn to include an area in front of the building dedicated to preserving a time capsule. This time capsule will be filled by local organizations and schools in St. Matthews with staple items that celebrate the past and present age of the community of St. Matthews. It will be opened 100 years later and the items encased auctioned off to benefit local non-profits. In addition to the facility itself, Independence Bank has also adopted the adjacent bus shelter located on Shelbyville Road. The structure is being redesigned to provide more shelter to patrons from the elements and to mimic the look and feel of the site, with particular attention paid to the beautification efforts of the area. Independence Bank, in partnership with the city, will provide maintenance and service to the shelter. Independence Bank has experienced tremendous growth and currently has 25 locations in 14 cities throughout Kentucky. The bank recently reached the $2.3 billion asset threshold and was named a top performer by the American Bankers Association and a best bank to work for. Additionally, it has been named a best place to work in Kentucky for 10 consecutive years. Independence Bank is a community-driven bank that believes that as the bank grows, so should the quality of life in the towns it serves. In 2017 alone, the bank invested over $2.4 million back into those communities and employees devoted countless hours to making a difference through their service. Tours of the St. Matthews Square are encouraged and welcomed. Independence Bank staff will be on hand to guide visitors through the building and show its unique features that make it a true landmark for the community and its history. The location is now open to the public, and the hours of operation are 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Thursday, 8:30 a.m. to 6 p.m. Friday and 9 a.m. to 12 p.m. Saturday.

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.
