Letter from the Editor I miss Paul Harvey. For those of you young enough to have no idea to whom I am referring, Mr. Harvey was a legendary radio broadcaster who was renowned for his programs that aired from 1952 to 2008, including his popular The Rest of The Story segments that aired to millions of listeners. He died on Feb. 28, 2009, but avid fans like me still think of him from time to time when we hear or tell the rest of a story – like this one. The Voice team was fortunate pilots Valerie Allen and her husband, Dr. Jeff Allen, so willingly accommodated our request to use their Mooney M20C and Twin Cessna 340 turbo at Bowman Field for this issue’s travel-themed fashion shoot. The gorgeous photos shot by The Voice photographer Andrea Hutchinson tell a tale of extravagance, elegance and jet-setting in this season of exploration. But there is, as always, more to the story, at least – this time – of the planes featured in these pages and the people who own them. The Allens often invite others to join them up in the air simply to share their passion for flying. I’ve been on the receiving end of such generosity and also have an open invitation to partake with my daughter, Olive, who is obsessed with all things flight-related. But, Jeff and Valerie also have quietly become known for offering up their airborne vessels to animal rescue groups in need. Together, the duo have flown furry ones from dire situations and in desperate need of medical attention without asking for anything in return. This has resulted in numerous lives saved. Years ago, I tried to ask them why. It’s been so long, neither Jeff nor Valerie may even remember, but they both humbly skirted the question. I understand why and want you to, too. Sometimes, if you’re lucky, you’ll meet people who are like angels on earth. They don’t desire accolades. They just do what they do because they can. A quote sits front and center on Valerie’s Facebook page, and I think it captures what’s in the hearts of her and her husband: “Love can hope where reason can despair.” They have seen unimaginable atrocities perpetrated on innocent animals by humans and welcomed dogs and cats, kittens and puppies, who have endured the worst into their cockpits, without knowing the outcome and unsure of whether the time, cost and effort would result in a happy ending. Yet, they answer the call. Jeff and Valerie Allen aren’t just the owners of beautiful planes. They are what happens when love and hope refuse to give in to despair. And now, you know the rest of the story – or at least an important part of the tale. Truly, Angie Fenton angie@angiefenton.com M AY 2 0 1 9

he privilege of eating a good lunch every day is lost on many. Most of us consistently take for granted how fortunate we are to have access to nutritious foods. For many in our community, having a quality meal is only an intermittent occurrence. An average of 65,000 hungry and homeless individuals step through the doors of Sandefur Dining Room each year. Located inside the Cathedral of the Assumption on South Fifth Street, the facility serves free lunches every day from 12:15 to 1 p.m. 365 days a year. While many who come to Sandefur are homeless, others are working poor or those who simply need short-term help. “There are a lot of people living paycheck to paycheck,” said Paul Tadatada, director of Sandefur Dining Room. “Some people may have housing but not much money leftover. It could be the end of the month and they’re just trying to get

through the last couple of lunches before their next paycheck. This is for people who need a hand up to make sure they have a good meal.” The Cathedral of the Assumption first began serving food to those in need during the Great Depression. The area where the dining room’s entrance is located was previously known as “Bologna Alley,” since bologna sandwiches were served through a folding hatch in the back of the building. Today, the kitchen has expanded, and the space includes a full dining area. The day’s menu often includes fresh fruits, salads and desserts, as well as soup and sandwiches. Thanks to the generosity of local donors such as Fourth Street Live! restaurants and Churchill Downs, Tadatada says his freezers are full of food that is ready to be served whenever necessary. In 2013, Let’s Dance Louisville became the primary fundraiser for

Feed My Neighbor, the marketing arm of Sandefur Dining Room. The annual event has made an impact on the downtown community and, thanks to organizers and participants, allows the program’s great work to continue and thrive. David Grantz, owner and founder of Buzz Advertising, regularly volunteers at the dining room and has been involved since the fundraiser’s inception. “Prior to Feed My Neighbor and Let’s Dance Louisville, the Cathedral was funding this themselves,” he said. “Each year, our small committee made up of an eclectic group of Louisville professionals rolls up our sleeves and gets to work. We all know that we live very blessed lives. …I named the charity event Feed My Neighbor because fundamentally, we all know – or we all should know – that we’re supposed to look out for each other. It doesn’t matter who you are. Everyone deserves respect and dignity.”

Tadatada affirmed that each person who walks through the doors of Sandefur Dining Room receives a meal and a comforting welcome. The volunteers who serve there, many of whom have danced in the competition before, understand that this an essential part of their mission. Other services offered in the dining room include a weekly “Ask a Lawyer” day and referrals to social services and medical

care facilities. In the coming years, the organization hopes to offer laundry facilities and showers for visitors to use, as well as counseling services to assist with rehabilitation and job finding. Tadatada’s career has mostly revolved around the restaurant business, having worked for O’Charley’s, Wendy’s and Godfather’s Pizza. He also is a member of the Knights of Columbus and first got involved with the dining room as a volunteer with his Bible study group. He took on the role of director six months ago following the retirement of former director Steve Lee. Tadatada’s background in restaurants and Grantz’s experience in marketing have made them ideal facilitators for the organization and the event. “Let’s Dance Louisville has been fantastic,” said Grantz. “Those 12 dancers bring in the support of their friends, family, colleagues and clients, and through our media sponsors, we’re able to put the spotlight on Sandefur Dining Room. This helps

raise awareness and much-needed funds to make sure this good work continues.” The dancers come from a variety of backgrounds but each shares a passion for the cause and a willingness to push themselves. “It is amazing to me to watch as each dancer puts it all on the floor for those who are less fortunate than they are,” said Event Chair Maggie Cyphers. Many familiar faces will be hitting the floor this year, including Jeff Howard, fitness instructor at Baptist Health/ Milestone Wellness Center and The Voice of Louisville columnist. “I truly feel honored just being asked to participate,” said Howard. “I’m relatively new to Louisville, but this town has been so welcoming to me. How could I not help out where I can?” Though performing is a privilege for the dancers, it’s also an extreme time commitment, taking anywhere from one to three months to prepare. This year’s theme is Movie Night, so attendees can

look forward to seeing slices of “The Great Gatsby,” “Bohemian Rhapsody,” “Footloose” and more. “My experience so far has been a challenge but also exciting,” said Mark Eliason, who is participating for the first time. “I didn’t realize it was going to take so much work to learn one dance.” “I’m looking forward to seeing how much total money is raised,” added local blogger and dancer Grace White. “The dances are good, but the cause is even better. This experience has definitely taken me outside of my comfort zone, but that’s the only way to grow.” An immeasurable amount of work goes into preparing for such an event, but the organizers and stars of the show do it all at no charge. “No one on the committee and none of our 12 dancers make a dime,” said Grantz. “Everyone involved has the same focus: what is it that we can do to better our community?”

“It not only provides the funds to continue serving food and paying utilities for the dining room, but it also creates a connection between the dancers and the dining room guests,” said Dance Liaison Chair Peggy Hagerty Duffy. “Former dancers serve food in there several days each month and these same volunteers advocate for the hungry and homeless in other ways as well. The firsthand contact gives participants a meaningful way of understanding the blessings that their hard work on the dance floor produces.” Now in its sixth year, Let’s Dance Louisville is setting the bar for entertaining and meaningful fundraisers in the area. Last year’s iteration raised more than $300,000, and the committee looks forward to exceeding that amount this year. While donations are greatly appreciated, Tadatada and company can also utilize more assistance in the kitchen. More than 380 volunteers work at Sandefur each month to serve and prepare lunches for

those in need, but they are always seeking more individuals and families who want to donate their time. He hopes those who join him in serving find as much fulfillment as he has. “When the opportunity came up to work here and get paid to do charitable works every day, it was a great feeling,” he said. “You have a whole different mindset going home at the end of the day. You get to see the men and women who come through here and hear them say, ‘Thank you’ and ‘God bless you.’ It’s great going home from the job knowing you’ve contributed something.” V To learn more about Sandefur Dining Room, visit cathedraloftheassumption. org.

The picturesque old New England house, accented with dormer windows and wide-planked floors, has an easy, polished and unfussy style. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a place where family members and close friends gather in a relaxed atmosphere throughout the year, enjoying Cape Codâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s scenery and local events. The living room feels cozy and comfortable with a sofa and pillows encased in fabrics from Highland Court and Beacon Hill. The matching club chairs in custom

The eating area is home to a Noir table, chairs in white and red linen, acrylic barstools and Visual Comfort lighting. A Currey and Company shell mirror is mounted above the bar cart, which is always filled with local brews and wines. Pops of color are added with artwork from Soicher Marin and a zebra hide rug. The couple opted for simple shutters throughout the home, which diffuse the light and provide privacy without detracting from the design or the view.

Multiple windows encase a master suite that glows in the daylight. The hand-knotted jute rug anchors the room while the metal king bed â&#x20AC;&#x201C; covered in grey velvet and trimmed with ribbon and nailheads â&#x20AC;&#x201C; is draped in linen, creating a vision of luxury and relaxation. The nightstands are clad in cream grasscloth. One of the guest rooms is home to twin beds that were locally built and upholstered in traditional Mexican blankets the clients brought home from one of their favorite vacation spots. The nightstand is Bungalow 5, the art was found in Florida and the rug is custom-made. The basement is a retreat for fun movie nights or just a quiet place to relax after biking around the island. The sectional and tufted ottoman are Bernhardt with custom-designed pillows. The accessories are from One Kings Lane and locally collected. The decorative shells were found on the beaches around Nantucket. The home also includes another guest suite and laundry in basement. Designing on this magnificent yet tiny island has its challenges. Shipping to the East coast, loading onto a ferry, scheduling warehouse pickup and then delivering and installing at the home itself took a lot of work. The family has been on the island for years, so they knew what to expect and were ready for it all. Details is proud to have been a part of making this beautiful house into a vacation home to be enjoyed for years to come. V

he process of redecorating a home can be enjoyable or agonizing depending on your attitude and level of know-how. If you’re a newbie or someone who simply doesn’t have time to pursue all of the necessary details, hiring an interior designer can ensure satisfaction. Amy Wagner, owner of Reflections of You, by Amy, and her team specialize in design, staging and renovations, and emphasize the importance of hiring a professional when it’s time to update a home. “The benefit of hiring a professional is to ensure a room, home or office has cohesive decor with quality items,” Wagner explains. “Projects run more smoothly and efficiently when working with an interior designer.” For those who aren’t sure where to begin with updating a space, Wagner recommends starting with an anchor piece. “This ... may be an area rug, a certain fabric for window treatments or upholstered pieces,” she says. “I can tell you, one of the last steps for me is the paint color, since there are so many amazing paint colors to choose from. Securing

“

these anchor pieces first will help guide the way for the rest of the room. “When embarking on a design project, I recommend clients invest some time in researching Pinterest, Houzz, etc. for inspiration spaces,” Wagner says. “The next step is to narrow down exactly what they like in each space. These specifics help us guide them in a direction that meets their goals and incorporates design elements they prefer.” Reflections of You, by Amy carries furniture and decor in varying styles and bed sheets, too. “I discovered and purchased sets of these sheets for my family while shopping the Dallas market seven years ago,” she recalls. “They are still as soft as the day I purchased them. I always said, ‘When I have a storefront, I am including these sheets so everyone else can enjoy them.’” The material is a bamboo/microfiber blend. They are hypoallergenic, super soft (like sleeping on a cloud, according to Wagner), durable and breathable. Wagner carries the sheets in many colors and sizes, including twin (with deep pockets to fit on Twin XL mattresses commonly found in dorm rooms),

For every set sold at her store, one set is donated to the Healing Place, the local program that aids men and women recovering from addiction. “When I heard about The Healing Place building their new facility, I wanted to help in whatever way I could,” says Wagner. “I was inspired by the Toms Shoes campaign – for every pair of shoes they sell, they donate a pair to those in need.

Comes to Louisville Acclaimed restaurateur Kevin Grangier has created an experiential eatery like no other By MANDY WOLF DETWILER Photos by ANDREA HUTCHINSON

ew Louisvillians have actually strolled the streets of Italy, sipped a marocchino at an al fresco café or checked out the latest fashions at Borgo Stretto. But thanks to Kevin Grangier of Louisville-based Belle Noble Entertainment, Italy is coming to us. Grangier – who launched the highly successful Le Moo Steakhouse, Village Anchor, the Sea Hag and Kevin’s Picnic – set his sights on the Brownsboro Road area years ago and he finally found the right real estate with Grassa Gramma. The 8,500-square-foot two-story Italian restaurant was modeled after a stone pavilion in Italy – often the hub of towns and neighborhoods. And, yes, it has the breathtaking outdoor view you may dream about when fantasizing about Italy. A former Chinese restaurant – and before that a movie theater – the large space lent itself well to Grangier’s vision. “All my restaurants – let’s face it – are over the top,” says Grangier. “Italian is something most people can conceptualize – the flavor of the food and the flavor of the interior. I didn’t have in mind Northern or Southern (Italy) per se. I just had in mind the Italian experience.” Taking center stage in the main dining room is a multi-level fountain with cherubs pouring water into the pool below. The fountain is surrounded by flowers all designed and hung by Grangier’s mother and tables built to resemble bicycles. The kitchen is also open with seating for guests to witness the goings on. The idea is two-fold: there’s extra Italian is seating, which is good for something most parties of one, and guests and cooks get a sense people can of accountability. Plus, conceptualize – the everyone loves to watch flavor of the food food being prepared. Grangier, a former marand the flavor keting executive, admits of the interior. he can’t cook and says, “They don’t want me in I didn’t have in the kitchen. My talent is mind Northern or outside of the kitchen and Southern (Italy) creating the experience (for) the guest … It was per se. I just had in just on my list of things I mind the Italian wanted to do. I’m a huge Italy fan. I’ve been there experience.” many, many times all over — Kevin Grangier the place.”

This culmination of experiences and travels resulted in the piazza (open space) of the restaurant. “When I think of Italy, I think of more Sicily and ‘The Godfather,’” he says. “I wasn’t going for your traditional red and green. I was going for the very severe and Catholic church and mafia, which is very dark with low lighting. That’s what I wanted to do except for the piazza, which I wanted to have a very different feel. “What I tried to do was make every single seat experiential,” he continues, “and I think we did a great job doing that. I don’t think there’s a bad seat in the restaurant, and it’s filled with a significant amount of ‘eye candy’ if you will. I want that to be part of your experience.” Most all of that eye candy comes from Grangier’s travels. He doesn’t purchase something with a specific usage in mind. Instead, he’ll work around it. And yes, all the artwork in the building is original. “Every light fixture in the place is vintage or antique,” he says as he points to

quickly as possible so that you can (visually) move on from 12 acres of asphalt in the parking lot.” We can talk about how stunning the restaurant for days, but if the menu wasn’t comparable, Grangier might as well shutter those Egyptian doors for good. Taking the reigns as Grassa Gramma’s executive chef is Robert Rice, who cut his teeth in the industry working for Wolfgang Puck.

Grangier says he relied on Rice to create an authentic menu, which requires many items to be made in-house. “I worked closely with Kevin to see what he wanted to do,” Rice says, adding that road trips together gave them oneon-one time to build a successful, classic Italian menu.

Louisville needs more air conditioners. Plant a tree. Trees help clean Louisville’s air of pollutants and keep it cooler during sweltering summers. Trees also reduce noise and erosion, absorb stormwater and save energy for homeowners— not to mention making our city more beautiful. But Louisville’s tree canopy is in decline — due to a number of factors — and you can help restore it. Trees Louisville makes trees available for planting and actually coordinates planting throughout Louisville. To learn more about how you can help, visit TreesLouisville.org.

Shelby Notess, whose team starts hours before the restaurant opens to prepare that day’s offerings as well as the handmade focaccia that is passed around to guests before and during service. “One of the unique things about our bread program is that we use a starter that I actually had imported from Italy,” Notess says. “We feed it every day and it will last forever until we stop feeding it.” Even the cannoli shells – which most restaurants buy already prepared before making the filling – are made in-house with a touch of white wine. On the menu, of course, there’s pasta. Grangier says the “must-have” is the Bolognese, featuring slow stewed veal, lamb, heritage pork, tomato, herbs and white wine served over ricotta salata and finished with Reggiano cheese ($22). You’ll also find breaded veal chops – a 14-ounce milk-fed, bone-in chop – and on the appetizer menu, wood baked oysters – Chesapeake oysters with salmoriglio sauce, pangrattato and Parmesan (4 for $12). Don’t worry if you don’t understand those heavy Italian words. Ask your server or just trust me. Everything is fabulous. “If we could bring this early menu with traditional items like Bolognese and not try to reinvent them, without a description they should be able to picture it in their head,” said Rice. For their small menu of pizzas, he says, “We have this local tree cutter who will hand pick cherry, walnut and oak for us,” Rice says. The oven burns anywhere from 650 to 850 degrees Fahrenheit. Aside from pizza, the oven is used to make bread and oysters for service. So, what’s in the future for Grassa Gramma? Grangier said they hope to begin serving lunch in May. Sunday brunch, which started in April, includes traditional Italian brunch and breakfast dishes as well as pastries. And while Le Moo’s Sunday brunch featuring drag queens has become somewhat legendary in town, Grassa Gramma’s brunch features opera singers. It’s all a part of the Grassa Gramma experience, one Grangier hopes to encourage repeat diners and not just visitors on special occasions. “My first priority was to get you out of the parking lot and be overwhelmed once you get here,” Grangier says. “And I think we did that.” V Grassa Gramma is located at 2210 Holiday Manor Center.

Happy Trails Making healthy choices on road trips and vacations By JEFF HOWARD Photos by ERIN TRIMBLE Location: 21C MUSEUM HOTEL

ummer is here and that means it’s time for vacations. Whether you’re headed to the beach, the mountains or just going to see loving relatives, most of us will be loading up the car in search of a little R&R this season. But along our journey, we need to stop and eat or get gas, and this is where we begin to make bad food choices and the trouble begins. We have all been there. We throw caution to the wind and choose snacks that we would normally refrain from. I would like to give you a little gentle advice of some better choices for you to make while on the road. You want to seek out snacks with more protein and fiber and less sugar. This will provide more energy and satisfy your hunger. Just be sure to include water with your snack choice so you stay hydrated.

John Walczak TURNING THE LOUISVILLE ZOO INSIDE OUT By MARIAH KLINE Photo by ANDREA HUTCHINSON

n his 34 years at the Louisville Zoo, Executive Director John Walczak has prioritized transparency, education and innovation. The lifelong animal lover and Penn State University graduate has accomplished a great deal in his career but is most proud of the staff members he’s worked with and what they’ve achieved together. “In my tenure as director, the mantra has always been, ‘Let’s take the zoo and turn it inside out,’” he said. “The keepers do such incredible work with the animals and historically, that’s been behind the scenes. Let’s take what we do and show it up front.” The latest additions Walczak and company get to share are Snow Leopard Pass and Colobus Crossing, both of which opened in March. In his time at the zoo, Walczak has been a part of three award-winning exhibits – Glacier Run, Gorilla Forest and Islands – recognized by the Association of Zoos & Aquariums. “We’re not a zoo that would say, ‘Let’s re-do the best someone else has done,’” he affirmed. “We start our projects thinking about what the best out there is and how we can carry that forward… The two new exhibits we’ve just created are the manifestation of all of our experiences in a positive way. Our Islands exhibit was the first multi-species rotational exhibit in the world. We take siamangs, Sumatran tigers, orangutans, tapirs and babirusa and they get to go to different exhibits throughout the day. They’re enriched by that and it’s always something new.” More than 1,200 animals currently call the Louisville Zoo home, and during the busiest part of the year, Walczak oversees around 275 employees and seasonal staff members who share his enthusiasm for the work. “There are incredibly dedicated people here who chose this career because of their passion,” he said. “It’s a marathon – trying to work on the culture and make sure the people who work here know

they’re appreciated. We can’t control external factors like a recession or budget cuts that are now facing us, but we do our best to help everybody through the good times and bad.” The zoo’s staff strives to provide a place where people of all ages can make memories together while also emphasizing the educational opportunities that are presented with each visit. “Part of our mission is bettering the bond between people and the planet,” he explained. “We let people know how their actions impact planetary health... We want to show how we build trust and a relationship with the animals using operant conditioning, just like you’d do with another human being. This takes that moment where (guests) come out here to have fun and we turn that fun experience into a learning experience.” As the zoo celebrates 50 years in 2019, Walczak commends his team for what has been accomplished so far and looks ahead at what the institution could achieve in its next 50 years. Their master plan, which was put into effect starting in 2016, includes the implementation of a new educational campus, an animal ambassador center and even a shark conservation institution. “In the next 50 years, I’d like for people to look at us as a type of resource,” he said. “We’re a great place to have fun and learn about the animals, but we’re also a great resource to help drive the economy, help educate children and help build young minds that are in a job-ready workforce. We help make Louisville healthier in a number of ways – environmentally, economically and socially. “A big part of our mission here is sustainability,” Walczak added. “It’s been a part of our DNA, even before ‘sustainability’ was a buzzword. We’ve been working on energy efficient buildings and exhibits for more than 30 years, and I think in the next 50 years, we can help this facility, this asset grow to serve the community in so many ways.”

Authentically Ashbourne A farm and event space that is representing the best of Kentucky By MARIAH KLINE Photos by ANDREA HUTCHINSON

It all started with a handful of cows.

hen W.L. Lyons Brown and Sally (Shallenberger) Brown were married in 1937, the bride’s grandfather gifted them a shorthorn cow, a bull and two heifers, which he shipped to Kentucky from his home in Nebraska. Since the young couple didn’t own a farm at the time, they briefly stowed the animals on a friend’s property before leasing and eventually purchasing 100 acres of land in La Grange. They named the estate Ashbourne Farms. Today, it’s made up of 2,300 acres and owned and run by their grandson, W. Austin Musselman Jr. “My grandmother was a natural. She was always into painting and bird watching. My grandfather slowly developed a love of agriculture. This became an escape for both of them, and they both fell in love with it.” Musselman serves as vice chair of the Bluegrass Land Conservancy, following his grandparents’ lead and sharing his knowledge of land use. The Browns’ original Ashbourne included orchards, a poultry operation, an inn and a restaurant on Highway 42 that served farm-to-table food. In the 1940s, a guest could order filet mignon for $3.85. The main function of the farm was raising and breeding short-horned cattle for showing and auctioning off. Today, the show barn has been revitalized and repurposed as an event space for weddings, corporate gatherings and nonprofit fundraisers. “We always treated the farm like our personal space where we’d come for enjoyment with our family and host events and parties for people,” Musselman explained. “We initially kind of resisted the idea of anything commercial, but people have always loved this space, even when there was no AC and it had a dirt floor.” Over the course of several years, the family warmed up to the idea of hosting formal events and began developing and beautifying the outdoor grounds. With Musselman’s passion for farming and collection of capable staff members, Ashbourne Farms is quickly becoming known as an ideal setting for events that are quintessentially Kentucky. Overseeing the show barn’s affairs is Sales and Events Director Annie Cobetto, who takes pride in Ashbourne’s mission.

“What people are used to having access to in the event world is things that are a bit more commercial,” she said. “It’s hard to take great detail and use it for 250 people at the same time. What’s exciting for us is that because of the long-range planning, we work hand in hand with each client and look through a fresh lens so that the event speaks to what their goals are and who they really are. Because of the land, we’re growing all of these beautiful, organic products and we get to work with our gardening team to plant, specifically for an event, a row or more of produce.” Outside, greenhouses with organic fruits and vegetables are maintained by Musselman and his team. They’ve even established a system of community supported agriculture so that anyone can buy a share of the crops and receive fresh goods each week. Also taking advantage of the plethora of produce is Chef Patrick Roney, who is more than familiar with the farm-to-table scene and its relevance. He relishes his new position in the show barn’s kitchen alongside pastry chef and bread maker Nokee Bucayu. While he thrived as the head chef at NuLu favorite Harvest, Roney now enjoys being able to thoughtfully plan for each meal experience. “Harvest was awesome and I really enjoyed the fast-paced kitchen,” he said, “but when we know exactly how many people are coming, we can really dial in the food. We get to utilize what we have coming from the farm and make every event extraordinary. “I love it here,” he added, grinning from ear to ear. “It’s my dream job.” “Chef Patrick is so well-trained, well-traveled and so open to the creativity, we’re really striving here with our culinary endeavors,” said Musselman. “He’s not only using what we produce on the farm but sourcing food locally from other farmers in the area and the region. We’ve even been out in the woods gathering wild onions and mushrooms and persimmons and incorporating that into our cuisine.” Musselman and Roney aren’t savoring the flavors by themselves, however. Following the James Beard Taste America Dinner Ashbourne hosted in October 2018, the team realized that they should open the gates to more visiting chefs to present the best of the Bluegrass’s culture, food and hospitality. “When we hosted the event for the James Beard Foundation, it sort of defined the types of events we want to be doing,” said Cabetto. “We’re now looking at partnerships with some fantastic chefs

and culinary teams and well-known restaurants from around the country. We plan to bring them into Kentucky and show the best of what we have to offer here.” With its food and its natural beauty, Ashbourne is an appropriate place to introduce people to the farm life in an elevated way. For curious locals, there are ticketed events and activities such as the upcoming dinner and concert experience on May 2, and more are in the works. For out-of-towners seeking a glimpse of life in the country, Musselman plans to add lodging in the future. “A lot of people are curious about what it’s like to live on a farm,” he said. “Here, they can come and fully experience it. There are so many points of entry where they can get involved with whatever their interest is, and we want to offer that to people in a very sophisticated way.” Adding entertainment value is the farm’s 12-station sporting clays course, equipped with clay pigeons and targets. “It’s kind of like playing golf with a shotgun,” Musselman laughed. “Even people who aren’t into hunting find it fun to learn how to shoot.” The course winds through the woods, where hiking trails and multiple fishing ponds can also be explored. Soon, the team plans to offer shooting clinics and fishing and fly-casting classes as well as agricultural and cooking courses. The show barn is open now, though it’s not officially finished. Two silos that sit adjacent to the structure are currently being transformed into functioning rooms that connect to the first and second floors of the barn. Atop one silo is an observation deck where visitors can take in the rolling hills and greenery around them. Following W.L. Lyons Brown’s death 1973, Sally Brown sold several acres of the land but placed a conservation easement on the farm, preserving and protecting it from development. Musselman says the move was the first of its kind in the area and the largest agricultural easement put in place in Kentucky at the time. Thanks to the wisdom of his grandmother, Ashbourne can maintain its authenticity and purity for generations to come. “People are really craving unique and authentic experiences,” he said. “And they’re looking to escape this busy world of technology. People want to unplug and escape, and it’s becoming more and more important for them to know they can come to a place like this and unwind.” V

t’s been six years – six long years for some – since the world’s greatest horse race ended with a result that was even a mild surprise. The Derby is always dramatic, but when the expected happens over and over, it takes a little edge off the thing. Not that it’s bad for everyone. The favorite winning the Kentucky Derby is ideal for many. A “favorite,” after all, is the horse with the most money bet on it, hence the lowest odds. And

They went 20 straight years without a favorite winning, and to me that was a lot of fun.”

usually that’s the horse more people have bet on and more are rooting for than any other. Lots of winners if it wins. And that’s fine. But after a while, it gets a little old. Back in the day, they’d say it’s like rooting for General Motors. Today, it would be cheering for the rich to get richer. C’mon, Apple! Let’s go, Amazon! So many people bet on Justify last year, the track asked those who hadn’t bet on him to remain in their seats while the winners cashed out. No, just kidding. But it’s been almost like that. In a race with 20 participants, there should be all variety of winning horses. But no. Six favorites in a row. Handicappers no longer needed. Crystal ball gazers, out of business. Anybody can pick the Derby winner. But not this year. Finally, the stars may have realigned to produce a result with some mystery to it when the expected field of 20 three-year-old Thoroughbreds goes postward

May 4 at Churchill Downs for the 145th Run for the Roses. This year there is no “one horse.” No sure thing. Fans will recall that people started talking about Justify in January of 2018, before he’d ever run in a race, and never stopped chanting his name through the Triple Crown. There’s nobody like that this time. No American Pharoah. No California Chrome. Instead, this spring, the 2019 Road to the Kentucky Derby has been laced with upsets and oddly run races. It’s like there’s a new horse every week and never the same one twice in a row. Not wild long shots, per se, but surprises. Right now, they’re saying the favorite might be a horse called Roadster. He’s a nice horse. But just the latest flavor of the week for a barn that has won five Kentucky Derbys – a Bob Baffert-trained horse that beat another Bob Baffert-trained horse in the Santa Anita Derby. Yet at this writing, there’s still the Arkansas Derby to run. Then, they all come to Louisville and train

over the track at Churchill Downs. Things might change. Stay tuned.

YEARNING FOR THE PAYDAYS OF YESTERYEAR Of course, the racing gods could amuse themselves to no end by sending a seventh-straight Derby favorite to the Winner’s Circle. But that’s not the scenario that’s been building. The 2019 Kentucky Derby looks wide open, and the rulers of chance might even let all 20 horses run for it. “They’d better,” says “Daily Racing Form” columnist and Louisville native Marty McGee. “I know whoever the favorite is, I’m going to be against him.” He means at the betting window. McGee points to the decades of the 1980s and 90s in which not one favorite won. Some victories were scored by second betting choices, like Winning Colors topping favored Forty Niner in 1988, and Sunday

Silence defeating rival Easy Goer in ’89. But there were plenty of surprises, too. And a lot of those were excellent horses that not everyone foresaw flowering at the Derby distance of one-and-one-quarter miles. Thinking of Ferdinand ($37), Alysheba ($18.80) and Unbridled ($23.60). Top horses at sweet prices. “They went 20 straight years without a favorite winning, and to me that was a lot of fun,” says McGee. “Even though you hardly ever won, that still added to the intrigue of the whole endeavor.” Especially for fans who follow the Derby preps and try to get an eye on the contenders when they arrive at Churchill Downs. But now, who needs to study? “So any Tom, Dick or Harry can find the favorite, and we, as everyday horseplayers, try to get away from that,” says McGee. The good news – maybe – is that in recent seasons, coming comets like Justify, American Pharoah and California Chrome were being raved about over the winter. Winter’s gone

for 2019, and we have heard a minimum of raving. It’s all up in the air. Heck, maybe it’s a year to be on the lookout for a sign. Like when Derby fan Nancy Shinneman bet on the two horses with “bird” in their name in 2009 because she owned parakeets named Sara and Toga. Mine That Bird won and paid $103 on a $2 ticket. Don’t get us wrong, favorites aren’t always a bad thing. People look back fondly on the 1970s when favorites rolled in like clockwork, including Secretariat, Seattle Slew, Spectacular Bid – and second choice Affirmed that beat Alydar on a sun-splashed Derby Day. (Hey, and while we’re beseeching the racing gods, we might as well ask for a little sunshine on this year’s Kentucky Derby, don’t you think?)

FINDING YOUR DERBY HORSE McGee’s job with the “Form” is writing feature stories about racing’s horses and people. He’s not a public handicapper looking to maintain a

M AY 2 0 1 9

high percentage of winners. “I’ve been around 45 Derbys, and I think I’ve had maybe seven or eight really good years betting the race,” he says. “But if you add up what I’ve won in the good years, it’s probably close to even because I hit ‘em pretty nice. “That’s the way horse playing is,” he adds. “It only takes one. But if the favorites keep winning, it’s going to take more than one. That’s the reason to go against them. I want Gato Del Sol (a McGee pick at $44.40).” And I’ll have another I’ll Have Another ($32.60). This writer’s first advice is always to bet the horse you like in the Kentucky Derby – no matter what the odds. Best to bet lightly on the favorites; you can’t get rich on them. But pour it in, the longer the odds get on the horse you like. “I tell you what,” says McGee. “How about a good-old $27 horse this year? A horse that’s 12-1 in the Derby is a good horse.” Nobody should have a problem with that, and this might be the year for it.

Here is this scribe’s list of 10 names to consider for Kentucky Derby 145:

1. Code of Honor 2. Game Winner 3. Roadster 4. Omaha Beach 5. Improbable 6. Vekoma 7. Win Win Win 8. Tacitus 9. Maximum Security 10. Bourbon War I believe one of these will win it. I kind of like the first four best. McGee isn’t telling. Good luck! V

Three photographers discuss the magic and mess of capturing family photos By LAURA ROSS

THE VOICE OF LOUISVILLE

| VO I C E -T R I B U N E . C O M

he gaze of a weary yet blissful new mom as she looks at the miracle that is her newborn baby – it’s that instant that a photographer dreams of capturing for a lifetime. Photographer Irene Bibee knows that longing a little too well. “To see a mom with a baby just takes my breath away,” Bibee said. “I remember how their fingers are, how their smiles twitch, how they squeak. I love seeing the moms overjoyed and seeing in their eyes as they ask, ‘Is that me? Is that my baby?’ Their reactions are wonderful. We cry, we laugh. It’s so much fun to see that in a photo.” Bibee focuses on newborn and children’s photography in Louisville, but her journey started a world away in Uganda. She fled unrest in the East African country 20 years ago for a new start in the United States, but in the turmoil, she had to leave behind her most precious gift – her two young daughters. “It’s complicated in Africa,” she explained quietly, her eyes flicking away to a photograph of her daughters, now in their early 20s. “I couldn’t see them, and they couldn’t come here. It is so hard, but it built a passion in me for helping others deal with their hardships.” Once in the United States, she became a nurse and focused on caring for families. Her partner at the time was a budding photographer, and as he built his craft, Bibee acted as a model and muse and tinkered with photography herself for fun. She later moved to Louisville and met and married her husband Bart in 2012. Shortly after, they welcomed their first child together, Emery. Another daughter, Elyse, followed in 2018.

M AY 2 0 1 9

“I have a wonderful husband now and two children here, but I lost that time with my first loves – my babies in Africa,” she said. “I taught myself photography so I could be sure I had images of my new family forever.” When Emery was born, Bibee purchased a quality camera and started shooting. She took classes and learned her craft. A few years later, she took a leap, quit her nursing job and turned to children’s photography full time. She offered to photograph new mothers in the hospital and then began gaining clients through word of mouth advertising. Today, she operates a cozy studio in Jeffersontown called Vine & Branch, and she often shoots on location at a family’s home or favorite outdoor spot. Bibee has a calm, nurturing approach to photographing mothers and infants. She uses her experience from nursing and her mother’s intuition to bond with subjects. The

trust she builds comes through in her stunning personal images. “It’s such an emotional time for women,” she explained. “Postpartum moms have such unstable emotions and have so much going on in their world with this precious new baby. I try to help them build a sense of confidence. I help them see how beautiful they are, I offer advice. I even can help with nursing advice as I’m a trained lactation consultant.” She laughed, “It’s the African way of mothers supporting mothers. We have all been there and we need to lift each other up and show how lovely we are.” “My photography drew me to mothers and babies,” she continued. “I live vicariously through their experiences in parts that I missed with my first two children. Documenting moms and babies heals that part of me, just to see that bond. I fall in love with that every time.”

It’s the moment when a mother’s love shines through most beautifully.

A Moment In Time Children’s photography is a big business. Gone are the days of packing up the station wagon and heading to a dark portrait studio for a stilted, posed family photograph. Today’s parents want a story behind a photo, a frozen image of life in the hectic modern world. The explosion of social media only strengthens the desire for unique settings, candid, movie-set quality photos and lifestyle vignettes. Christina Bueno brings a mother’s eye to helping create those memorable scenes for families. Like Bibee, Bueno landed in Louisville from another country. A former human resource professional in Brazil, Bueno and her husband moved to Kentucky in 2011. Her passion for photography began a year later with the birth of her daughter Laura (a second daughter, Julia, was born in 2014.) “My visa didn’t allow me to work, so I filled my time doing courses in photography that I never had time to do in Brazil,” Bueno explained. She practiced her new passion on her children and friends’

children and built a following. She created her business, Click My Kids, in 2016. Bueno likes the flexible schedule of photography, which allows her time to be with her own small children. She enjoys family lifestyle photography and has settled her niche on photographing children from toddlers on up. “I like documentary pictures where I’m at a house and I just want the family to have fun,” she said. “Play, be comfortable. I’ll be there clicking and shooting angles and capturing the family bond. I don’t like props and a lot of makeup. I want families to look at the pictures and remember who they were at that moment in time. “I like to show the beauty of who you are,” she added. “I want them to say, ‘Wow, that was my life.’ Even a child brushing their teeth is beautiful if you capture that angle, that moment, that comfortable spot in time. That’s what you’re going to remember, not that you were posing at some farm you’ve never seen again.” While children can be fussy, Bueno knows patience is key. She encourages

kid-level conversation and is always the first to roll on the floor with a child or chase them happily through a yard, shooting images the entire time. “I prefer kids to babies,” she said. “They are so innocent and it’s a challenge for me to capture that gorgeous, natural expression. I like when they are playing or reading or just being kids. You get something so beautiful in their expressions and it just works.” Bueno has expanded her business to work with area schools in a program she calls Fine Art Portrait. Instead of relying on traditional school portraits, she partners with a school or preschool and spends time there, taking candid shots in the classroom and on the playground. She also photographs students individually or in small groups. “I interact, ask questions and look for that beautiful relaxed smile,” she said. “When the parents see the expression in their child’s eyes, they see their real child, and that image is so much better framed on a wall than a regular school portrait.”

Born Storytellers Katie Neace Uttich of Katie Marie Photographie, agrees with her peers. “Everyone has a story,” she said. “We all have hardships and joys, and life is just something to be told. I give them that story. I’m proud of my work, but I like to see the families share their joy in the gift of the photo.” Like Bueno and Bibee, Uttich became serious about photography when her first child, Bennett, was born. She had a marketing background and had dabbled in photography in college but found her calling while taking images of her baby. She went back to school to study photography and began shooting families and children in their homes and in outdoor settings. She quickly learned the quirks of outdoor photography in Kentucky. “We have a beautiful landscape, but the weather can turn on a dime,” she said. “We don’t have the luxury of beaches and mountains. I love shooting during the golden hour, but you can’t always guarantee that. I communicate with the family and make the 86

location as personal as possible because you want it to be authentic and genuine. This is capturing how people live.” She opened her studio next to the new Falls City Brewery just east of downtown Louisville in August 2018, where she focuses on family portraits and photographing infants. “Whether it’s a newborn in the studio in a basket or a 2-year-old who doesn’t want to look at me, I am happy to photograph them,” she said. “That phase of childhood is so short, and you get people who say, ‘Oh, they’re being terrible,’ but they’re really not. They’re being themselves in that moment and that moment is fleeting. I always say, ‘Find the beauty in being little.’” Like Bibee, Uttich revels in the emotional moments between mothers and babies. “Your emotions are so dazed and confused just after birth that you can’t recognize yourself,” she said. “But then that baby grabs your finger or pulls your necklace and there’s that tiny moment you’ll always cherish. I love capturing that because at the time, most moms are so overwhelmed, they don’t see the beauty in that moment, but they will treasure it later.” Uttich notes how social media has changed children’s photography. “It’s instant storytelling through imagery,” she explained. “Tell your own story how you want. Bring your favorite book or teddy bear. Have your paci in your mouth. The old sneakers are OK… wear them. Focus on the tiny hands and dimples. One day, you’ll wake up and they’ll be gone. Tell that story now. “We all have our own beauty and style,” added Bueno. “It’s what speaks to you. Photos transport you to that perfect moment, often when we need it the most.” “I was a hospice nurse for nine years and was heavily involved in a family’s grief process,” pondered Bibee. “But now I’m on the opposite end and dealing with the joy and promise a newborn brings. I try to give families a masterpiece they won’t get anywhere else. I struggled to get where I am. A lot of families helped me, and I need to give back to others in thanks for those who supported me. I wouldn’t trade it for the world right now. I can spend time with my children, I bring joy to other mothers and babies and I’m happy. I fall in love with my work every day.” V

benefits definitely outweigh the challenges.

What motivates you?

What are the benefits and challenges of working with your mother/daughter? LAUREN BROADUS: The benefit of working with my mother is that I get to gain her wealth of knowledge every day. She spent 30 years working in corporate America, so I get to learn the best way to run a business from her. She teaches me every day how to conduct myself with different clients. We balance each other out really well. Most people tell me, “I could not work with my mom.” I laugh and tell them we are like best friends. Do we have our disagreements? Yes, but we know how to overcome obstacles and move on pretty quickly. I add that Millennial flair, she brings the old-school flavor and we mix them together. Most of

all, we respect each other in our roles. I went from being her shadow in business to being her equal partner on our various projects. PAMELA FULTON BROADUS: Working with my daughter is one of the greatest joys of my life. We have so much fun working together! Lauren and I balance each other very well. We have our moments where the “I’m your mother” creeps in but those are rare. I’m a Baby Boomer and she’s a Millennial, so we have different perspectives on how things should be handled. That’s actually been a positive part of our growth. We’re more alike than different, and we have a great respect for what each brings to the table. My oldest daughter, Candice, often works with us also. Then, it’s really exciting! The

LAUREN: My spiritual life and the people around me motivate me. My family, friends, fellow board members, church members and colleagues – I am surrounded by so many genuine people and I try to learn something from each one of them. In life, we are lifelong learners, so I gain from who I surround myself with. There are so many influential leaders around me and they motivate me to be a better leader. My number one motivator is my mom. She pushes me to my fullest potential, even on those days I do not feel like it. PAMELA: My family and seeing the joy on the faces of clients when we exceed their expectations, which we strive to do every time. I love photos and reliving events. There’s so much joy in making memories. No matter how big or how small, we strive to create experiences – not just events.

Producing events is serious business. Can you offer one piece of advice as to what makes an event successful? LAUREN: Make the event personal. For us, we go into an event and put ourselves in our client’s shoes. Be on time, lay out a good framework, make sure that you and the client are on the same page about roles and tasks, create a good flow the day of the event, do what you say you are going to do and build and maintain good vendor relationships. We are only as good as the people we

surround ourselves with. Be your client’s biggest advocate. We do a lot of non-profit fundraising events and those events are mission driven. We want to bring that mission to life by carrying it out throughout the event. PAMELA: Always listen to the client and pay attention to the details.

What is most rewarding about what you do for a living? LAUREN: The most rewarding thing about what I do for a living is I get to do it every day with my mom and it is ours. No one can take it away from us. We get to work with each other every day to make someone else’s dream or vision come to life and put a smile on their face. Through this, we get to meet so many incredible people who have become lifelong friends and family. We work 24/7, but it is all worth it because we are building a legacy for future generations in our family. PAMELA: I get to do what I love every single day. I have a home-based business. I get up, walk down the hall and thank God for allowing us to make dreams come true. I get to work with my family and friends. We get to work with organizations such as the Louisville Urban League, the Brain Injury Alliance, Parkinson’s Support Center and many others that make a difference in the lives of others. We get to coordinate amazing weddings and milestone events. It’s the awesome feeling I get from bringing visions to life and making a difference in the lives of so many. V

et me tell you about a flavorful evening I recently experienced, thanks to my dear friend Kathy Oyler, who introduced me to the Cookbook Club she’s been a part of with eight other women for a few years. The idea for the club started about six years ago when Elizabeth Ragsdale wanted to get together with friends who are gastronomically like-minded and willing to try new recipes. The women experimented with mouthwatering menus, all inspired by their own palates, that definitely required a complex modus operandi (a fancy Latin phrase for “mode of operation” or for us simple folks, “a game plan”). Jodi Nobel hosted the most recent dinner at her French-inspired home, a perfect choice seeing as the menu was from none other than Julia Child’s “Mastering the Art of French Cooking.” Armed with bottles of champagne and a few other ingredients, I immediately got to my station at the bar to prepare mint julep champagne cocktails for the group

as a nod to the Kentucky Derby. I had to contribute something, and my effervescent thoughts always direct me to tiny bubbles. The star of the evening was a French classic, duck a l’orange. Following one of Child’s cardinal rules, “No matter what happens in the kitchen, never apologize,” we laughed off the fact that the reduction sauce had splattered all over the stove and cabinets when the duck fat was combined with the red wine. Every dish was a gourmand’s treasure and devoured by the group as we discussed which cookbook to choose for our next gathering. I will be there with a spatula in hand to assist and partake in more culinary escapades. Speaking of escapades, I made my way over to Castle & Key Distillery for the exclusive preview of the restored Taylorton Station tasting room, which is now a walk-up window bar called Counter 17. Always first class, this place continues to amaze me with its expertise and careful renovation of the Old Taylor Distillery. The Curated Cocktail

A family-owned funeral home with deep roots in the community. We’ve been chosen by families who have lived here for generations - folks who have come to know and trust us over the years. You see, unlike funeral homes owned by faraway corporations, we have a committment to this community. After all, our roots are here.

Castle & Key Master Distiller Marianne Eaves.

Experience at Counter 17 offers guests two cocktails of their choice prepared by expert mixologists with the main ingredient being the Restoration Release Gin. The fun is in choosing which unique herb or botanical to add to the gin. I sampled the angelica root cocktail with lavender and butterfly pea flower. As could be expected, it was fragrant, floral and delicious. The Taylorton Station train depot, built in 1910 by Colonel E. H. Taylor, was used to greet and entertain his guests as they arrived at the distillery. While sitting at the bar, you can’t help but feel nostalgic and imagine what it must have been like to arrive by train to such a beautiful destination all those years ago. After our tasting and a few delectable appetizers, I meandered through the Botanical Trail to get a feel for the immeasurable effort that is put into making the Restoration Release Gin so delicious (and I’m not usually a gin fan, but this one knocks my socks off each time I try it). If you get a chance to experience this European-inspired setting, take it. You will be glad you did. Now, it must be five o’clock somewhere. Time to hear the ice cubes make that tinkling noise as they are dropped into a glass somewhere – hopefully near. Cheers! V

A Tymna Oberhausen

Above and Beyond Class Act Federal Credit Union brings community members together Story by

“ “

s Tymna Oberhausen sat in a tiny chair in her kindergarten classroom at Lowe Elementary, her face was glowing. She looked around her classroom and said, “It’s my happy place.” Having been an educator for more than 30 years, Tymna joked that her friends often ask why she hasn’t retired yet. “I don’t want to retire. I’m still having fun!” Tymna’s mother, who was also an educator, inspired her to become a teacher. She also inspired her to join Class Act Federal Credit Union. “Growing up with her and seeing her go to Class Act Federal Credit Union – I thought it was a natural part of being a teacher,” said Tymna. As she began to talk more about Class Act Federal Credit Union, her passion was unmistakable. Tymna knew all of the staff at her local branch by name. The way she spoke about them made it sound like they were longtime friends, “I love the branches. The people there are just so nice... they’re just so friendly and helpful.”

When I came in with my hand hurt, they asked how long I’d be out of work. They reminded me I had purchased disability insurance a while back, and I was able to recover some of the money I lost due to being out of work. I don’t know many who would save you money like that.” — James, Class Act Federal Credit Union member for 3 Years

My favorite thing about working at Class Act is the atmosphere and the people I work with. Who you work with defines your day… We take pride in knowing what our members are doing and will do anything to make our members feel like family.” — Jamie, Member Relations Officer, Class Act Federal Credit Union employee for 7 Years

Tymna’s list of reasons why she’s continued to be a member of Class Act Federal Credit Union for more than 30 years includes convenience, supporting local business, the staff and the unique layout of the branches. If you’ve ever seen any of Class Act’s branches, you know why they are so special to Tymna. Rather than using traditional counters that create a barrier between the member and the teller, Class Act uses “pods” that allow their members to stand next to the tellers to collaborate more closely. “It’s just more personal. It doesn’t feel like you have a wall between you. I feel a little more comfortable than I did before at a bank.” After listening to Tymna, it’s clear that Class Act Federal Credit Union is more than just a financial institution – it’s a community. Rather than just being a number, members know that they matter. To find out how you can become a member of Class Act Federal Credit Union, call 502.964.7575 or visit classact.org today!

“ “

I love the relationships I build with members. You really get to know them in depth. We know their aspirations, their latest vacation, when they will retire and see photos of their kids… Also, I love helping members build their credit, watching them buy their first car or their first home and then celebrating with them.” — Vawanna, Branch Manager, Class Act Federal Credit Union employee for 5 Years

My mom was a bus driver for JCPS and recommended I become a member. I’m now a student at UofL, so I like the proximity. I also like the youth account as it taught me how to use a checking account, and communication with Class Act has been easy.” — Quintez, Class Act Federal Credit Union member for 3 Years

Stephen Rolfe Powell

1951-2019

n March 16, 2019, Stephen Rolfe Powell left this world. A native of Birmingham, Alabama, Steve’s Southern drawl will forever be heard delivering silliness and encouragement in the ears of all who knew him. Steve was the loving husband of Shelly, the indefatigable father of Piper and Oliver and the devoted brother of Pam. He was a family member, too, to his many friends. Steve’s beloved friends are necessarily energetic because being Steve’s friend kept one on the move. His weekly tennis matches, physical sculpting of hot molten glass and insatiable drive to grow and build on his farm were all activities engaged in with people he cared for deeply. While there is no award for growing okra, Steve has a long list of awards and accomplishments reflecting his other passions and activities. Steve was a truly inspirational professor and leader among artists from Centre College, where he founded the glass program, built two amazing hot working studios, worked with commercial funders and international glass experts and created beauty every day since 1983. He was the mentor and teacher of dozens of artists around the world, who carry on teaching, sculpting, blowing glass and bringing various objects and ideas to life through dynamic and dedicated craft. Steve was officially recognized as an amazing teacher many times and unofficially thousands of times. He was named Kentucky Teacher of the Year in 1999 and 2000 and given the Acorn Award by the Kentucky Council on Postsecondary Education in 2004 and the Distinguished Educator Award from the James Renwick Alliance in Washington, D.C. Steve’s artwork was regularly awarded accolades and was exhibited around the globe.

Some of his more notable awards included: The Artist Award by the Governor’s Award in Arts in 2010 and the Sixth Annual Rude Osolnik Award for Kentucky’s Most Accomplished Community Craftsperson in 2001. He was part of the 2002 Winter Olympics, where he exhibited his world-class glass sculpting methods, and in 1998, he was featured at the Venezia Aperto Vetro in the city of glass, Venice, Italy. Steve didn’t stop at making gorgeous glass sculptures with fantastic names, though. He went on to co-produce a film, “Lino Tagliapietra: Glass Maestro,” and maintained a rich and nurturing friendship with Lino between Danville and Murano, Italy. In 2005, he authored a book, “Stephen Rolfe Powell: Glassmaker,” and it was granted the Award for Overall Excellence by The Southeastern Library Association in 2007. Steve accomplished all of these things while maintaining his own humanity and showing kindness and joy. From working in a school and prison art program as a young graduate of Centre College to launching his glass-focused career after completing his masters in fine arts at Louisiana State University, he did it all with a smile, easy manner and charm. Centre awarded him the Distinguished Alumnus Award in 2003 and named him to the Sports Hall of Fame in 2011. Indian Springs School named him the Outstanding Alumnus in 2002. While the world has lost a great light, his spirit and glow bless us still. Close family and friends gathered for a private ceremony in March. In lieu of flowers, gifts may be made to the Stephen Rolfe Powell Memorial Fund at Centre College at 600 West Walnut St., Danville, KY 40422. A Centre celebration of Stephen’s life will be held in Danville in the coming months.
