from the

Steve Humphrey, The Voice-Tribune Publisher Janice Carter Levitch, The Voice-Tribune Editor in Chief Angie Fenton and Jason Applegate at Supper Under the Spires, benefiting the Churchill Downs Foundation. The Voice-Tribune served as the exclusive media sponsor of the fabulous fête. Photo taken with an iPhone by Andrea Hutchinson.

Editor The first time I met Janice Carter Levitch, she lived near Cherokee Park and had a steep driveway that was a perfect place to run grueling sprints and turn your legs into mush as you worked your quads and glutes on the ascent and descent. My then-trainer had asked Janice if she and her crew of wannabe bodybuilders, including me, could borrow her drive, and – as is emblematic of Janice’s perpetually-giving nature – she said yes. Years later, when I was hired as managing editor of The Voice-Tribune by the previous owners, my team featured Janice and her artistic endeavors. I was impressed with her quiet strength and fearless determination. I also enjoyed the chance to spend a few moments with her at society events I covered. Ever graceful, kind and humble, Janice embodied the best of what The Voice aimed to present in our pages. The Voice-Tribune – which has been owned by Red Pin Media since 2016 – is wrapping up its 70th year and has existed in many iterations. But as we look forward to what comes next, we will do so with a new leader at the helm: Janice will guide us as the new publisher of The Voice-Tribune. Janice first joined the team two years ago as our featured columnist but has served as a champion of The Voice for years. Janice is poised to oversee, influence and lead this Louisville institution that has always been YOUR Voice. Laura Snyder, our former publisher, will assume the role of Red Pin Media’s chief operations officer. We are proud to have great leadership in place and are excited about what the future holds. Speaking of which, Kroger recently announced that it was removing all free publications from its stores across the country. Our relatively recent foray into being distributed at Kroger locations was beneficial. However, we are continuing to add more racks and fulfill requests for more distribution points around the community, making it even easier to pick up your monthly copy. You can always find an updated list of where to find us up by visiting voice-tribune.com/ about-us/where-to-find. As always, thank you for supporting The Voice. Truly,

OCTOBER 2019

“

It is important to take control of your life by staying healthy and active.” — Judy Marcus

By JEFF HOWARD Photos by ERIN TRIMBLE Location: THE GEORGE

hat I love most about my job is meeting strong women. By strong, I don’t mean physically strong but women with strong minds, attitudes, work ethics, passion and, of course, strong in their belief in health and fitness. Can you imagine if you found all of these qualities in the same family? It was truly an honor to spend the afternoon with three generations of strong, inspiring women, ages spanning from 24 to 80. Health truly can be achieved through learning by example. While speaking to them about their healthy habits, each had a sparkle in their eyes that lets you know they are strong-minded and determined.

JUDY “GRAMSIE” MARCUS Age: 80 years young 1. When did you start working out and why? “I have always done some kind of exercise. I was the second oldest of 11 siblings, so there was always something to be done. I always knew that continuing to move was important through five pregnancies and raising my children.”

2. What does the word “fit” mean to you? “Fit to me means being healthy, happy and outgoing and looking your best.”

3. What type of movement/ class do you like? How has it changed over the years? “I have always loved walking ever since my children were babies. I began formal aerobics classes while pregnant with my first child at 21 years old. I was an original member of Baptist Health/Milestone Wellness Center and have continued through the years with a personal trainer.

OCTOBER 2019

My favorite class now is Sue’s aerobics and weight classes along with Blakey’s pyramid class at Milestone. I continue to walk in my neighborhood throughout the week with my daughter and granddaughters.”

4. What has been a major influence in your fitness journey? “The biggest influence on my fitness journey has been wanting to stay healthy and strong in order to take care of first my mother and father and then my late husband. My daughters and granddaughters have always provided me with great support and encouragement to continue to take care of myself.”

5. How do you stay motivated to work out? “I stay motivated knowing that at age 80, I continue to feel good about my appearance and my ability to stay healthy and strong. I hope to continue to inspire my family (so they know) that it is important to take control of your life by staying healthy and active.”

involves movement and weights.”

4. What has been a major influence in your fitness journey?

1. When did you start working out and why? “I started my fitness journey in my early teens. It was when Jazzercise and other group fitness classes were big. My mom, sister and I did a local group fitness class called Bodyworks. I also did Jane Fonda’s workout with my girlfriends.”

2. What does the word “fit” mean to you? “To me, fitness has had several meanings through the years. In my younger years, it meant being thin. If you were thin then you were healthy and fit. Now, my definition of fitness is feeling healthy and strong.”

3. What type of movement/class do you like? How has it changed over the years? “I am a group fitness person. I love a class that

“My major influence in my fitness journey has been my mom. I mean, look at her! She’s beautiful! She has always been active as long as I can remember. From yoga classes to brisk walks around the neighborhood, she made some kind of movement a priority. She was always cutting out articles and healthy recipes for us to try.”

“Staying motivated actually gets easier the older I get. I don’t always love coming to the gym. It can be easy to find a reason to skip, but I love the way I feel after a good workout. It helps clear my mind and relieves any stress or anxiety. I love coming to class and checking in with all my friends there. My daughters and my mom all go to Milestone, so they help to keep me accountable as well.”

CAROLINE JOHNSON Age: 26 1. When did you start working out and why?

“

I am a physician assistant and being in the medical field, I have realized what an absolute privilege it is to be able to move my body the way that I can.” — Caroline Johnson

THE VOICE OF LOUISVILLE

“I can’t pinpoint a time when I started exercising. My parents always encouraged me to try new sports as a child. I do have a vivid memory of my mom and dad taking me to a breast cancer 5K when I was in third grade. They have always been and continue to be great examples of the importance of taking care of your body and staying active. I formally started taking exercise classes at Milestone with my mom as a young teenager. I remember her taking me to Annie Locke’s aerobics classes and thinking how amazingly fit the class full of women were! I still to this day love group exercise classes.”

2. What does the word “fit” mean to you? “To me, the word fit means feeling strong, healthy and confident in what your body is capable of through movement.”

3. What type of movement/class do you like? How has it changed over the years? “My fitness journey has changed a lot over the last 10 years. In high school and college, I focused a lot on cardio and never changed my fitness routine which became very boring. After moving back

home, I started group fitness classes at Milestone with my mom and found the perfect fit for me. It is so motivating to be in a class with a room full of people, and every single time I push myself to do something different. I have added weight training into my weekly routine. I still love the Peloton for cardio and a run at Seneca Park, but have found how important it is to change up what I am doing.”

4. What has been a major influence in your fitness journey? “The biggest influence for me in my fitness journey has changed over the years. In the beginning, I exercised because I thought it was just something you were supposed to do. As I have gotten older, I have realized the importance of consistent exercise. It helps me to sleep better, allows an outlet for stress and lets me feel my healthiest and most confident.”

5. How do you stay motivated to work out? “I am a physician assistant and being in the medical field, I have realized what an absolute privilege it is to be able to move my body the way that I can. So many others do not have that privilege, and when I think about those people who would give anything to have their health and to be able to go to the gym, that is all the motivation I need to continue. Also having the motivation from my beautiful sister, mother and grandmother always helps. It is an honor to be surrounded by such strong women.” OCTOBER 2019

KRISTEN JOHNSON Age: 24

“

I think it is more about staying consistent rather than motivated.”

— Kristen Johnson

1. When did you start working out and why? “I feel like I have been active my whole life. My parents were always very active and encouraged us to be active as well. As a child, I played a lot of sports and that was my movement for a long time. As I started getting older and wasn’t playing a sport every season, I took a new approach to fitness. My mom occasionally brought me to group fitness classes with her and it was around eighth grade I decided to join a gym.”

2. What does the word “fit” mean to you? “To me, fitness means so much more than just the physical aspect. Fitness also encompasses my mental and emotional state. I used to work out purely to look a certain way, but now I work out more to feel better, have more energy, feel strong and manage stress. There are so many benefits to staying active, and the physical results are just a bonus.”

3. What type of movement/class do you like? How has it changed over the years? “My exercise routine has changed a lot over the years. When I was no longer playing sports and first started working out on my own, I did pretty much all cardio. I would do some form of cardio for 60 minutes and then call it a day. Now, I focus much more on strength training. That is why I love group fitness classes – there is strength and cardio involved, and I don’t have to plan my own workout.”

4. What has been a major influence in your fitness journey? “My parents have been a major influence in my fitness journey. Seeing them stay active motivates me to stay active. Also, Milestone has had a major impact. I have met so many great people at the gym, and they hold me accountable and also motivate and push me to be my best.”

5. How do you stay motivated to work out? “I think it is more about staying consistent rather than motivated. There are plenty of days I don’t want to work out, but it’s all about holding yourself accountable. I also remind myself how good I feel after I workout and how much better of a mood it puts me in.”

ARTISTRY MEETS COMPASSION AT PERMANENT MAKEUP BY HOTARU

By MARIAH KLINE Photo by JORDAN PANTOJA

housands of people have gone under the needle with permanent makeup artist Hotaru. In her 10 years of practice, she has mastered the craft and shared her knowledge with countless students. Her tattooing talents have helped clients achieve the long-lasting results they desire and often provide a significant amount of healing. Hotaru’s journey into the world of permanent makeup came from personal experiences that had a profound effect on her. She suffered from severe allergies and asthma as a child and was required to take steroid medications that thinned her hair and made her eyebrows sparse. “It was always one of my biggest insecurities,” she says. “I had a middle school teacher who made fun of my eyebrows and the way I did my makeup. It stuck with me for a long time.” Apart from her own struggles, Hotaru learned about the profound effect eyebrows can have when her aunt underwent treatment for cancer. She lost all of her hair, including her brows, which her niece would draw on for her. “This is one of the reasons that this is my passion,” she explains. “For my aunt, this was very important. She didn’t care how bad she felt. As long as she had her eyebrows, she was comfortable. It’s not important for some people, but it was huge for me and my aunt.” While working as a beautician in Orlando, Florida, Hotaru learned about a permanent makeup artist who tattooed eyebrows in nano-strokes, creating a natural-looking appearance. The week after having her own brows tattooed, she enrolled in classes to become a certified permanent makeup artist herself. Since 2009, she has received her master’s

certification and license to instruct others. Her skills have taken her all over the world – from teaching in the Netherlands to judging competitions in New York. She teaches both basic fundamentals and advanced courses, setting high expectations for her students and herself. She has received dozens of awards and won competitions for her work. She recently took home first prize for her areola tattooing as well as first and third place in lip tattooing at a competition in Miami. Hotaru attributes her successful practice and thousands of satisfied clients to the education she has received. She consistently takes new courses in tattooing to learn more about the craft as the industry evolves. “Even though I’ve been doing this for a while, I still learn something every time,” she says. “I still consider myself a student. I’m always following what’s new – new pigments, tools, numbing creams – and what’s going to help people heal.” She also focuses on authenticity, making sure each client walks away with an individualized look. “I don’t want anyone’s eyebrows to look uniform or stamped on,” she says. “Everyone should have their own style. I just follow everyone’s (natural) brow but enhance it a bit.” In addition to permanent makeup, Hotaru has specialized in paramedical tattooing, including scar camouflaging and areola artistry. For breast cancer survivors and other individuals who have sustained traumatic injuries, her work has made a massive difference in the way they view their appearance. “If someone doesn’t feel good about themselves because they have scars,” she says, “at least you can give them a nice, realistic areola so they can feel like themselves again. It helps them move on to their next stage of healing.”

Rev. DANIEL CORRIE SHULL Senior Pastor, Burnett Avenue Baptist Church; District 6 Representative for Jefferson County Board of Education I am “Man Enough to be a Girl Scout” because I believe in the importance of cultivating a world in which the native gifts of girls are generously encouraged, supported and invested in. The Girl Scouts of America has a long track record of inspiring girls to be their absolute best selves and provides opportunities for girls to maximize their potential. It is because of this history that I support the Girl Scouts of Kentuckiana.

Lt. Colonel JOSH JUDAH Assistant Chief/Louisville Metro Police Department I am man enough to be a Girl Scout because I believe strongly in the opportunities the organization provides for young women. I am a proud parent of a Girl Scout, and I get to see the wonderful changes it makes in her life. Girl Scouts champion friendship, creativity, positive self-image and leadership. Through participating in Girl Scout activities, my daughter has become a better friend and teammate. She has led classes teaching skills to other Girl Scouts, she has explored the outdoors and she has learned how to run a business through her cookie sales. All of these experiences are shaping her into a future leader, and I am proud to see her progress and know that she’s having a great time as well.

Story by

f you’re from Louisville, Kentucky, you’ve most likely heard of Denny Crum. He’s the Basketball Hall of Fame legend who coached men’s basketball at the University of Louisville for 30 years. Under his leadership, the Cardinals won two national championships and made it to six Final Fours. After an epic, victorious career, Denny continues to give back to the community through the Denny Crum Scholarship Foundation at UofL. The scholarship foundation began in 2001 with a generous gift of $53,000. Now, the Denny Crum Scholarship Foundation has awarded over $1 million to more than 425 UofL students. “I know how important that money is when you go to college. You have kids that really want to be there but can’t afford to be there,” said Coach Crum. Denny acknowledges that it wasn’t easy getting the foundation where it is today. The foundation needed support, and Class Act Federal Credit Union was there to help. Class Act, who has served University of Louisville students, alumni, and their families for over 20 years, has been a sponsor of the Denny Crum fall events, and a major contributor to the foundation since 2015. Coach Crum’s hope is to continue his scholarship foundation in perpetuity. “We’re continuing to raise money, and hopefully as we go along we will be able to increase the amount that we give to each and every student,” he said. “We make our own history now.” The Annual Scholarship Reception, sponsored by Class Act, will be held at 6 p.m. on Oct. 7 in Cardinal Stadium’s PNC Club. Community members will have the opportunity to honor Coach Crum while supporting the leaders of tomorrow. Those who are interested in attending may register at coachcrum.givesmart.com.

Renowned artist Gaela Erwin on inspiration, the male gaze and what’s next By LAURA ROSS Photos by ANDREA HUTCHINSON

fiercely beautiful African woman stares intently at you, her eyes full of a story that begs to be told. The oil portrait on wood panel is large and stunning in its raw intimacy. “Portrait of Neema Tambo” is at once powerful and breathtaking. Louisville-based artist Gaela Erwin is proud to have Neema’s portrait “home” again following an impressive tour throughout English and Scottish museums in 2018. The oil painting didn’t just visit any museum – it was on display in both England and Scotland’s National Portrait Galleries as a part of the exclusive BP Portrait Award competition. “I was beyond thrilled to be included,” she said. “The BP Portrait Award from the National Portrait Gallery in London is one of the most prestigious world competitions for portraiture.” Erwin, a sought-after figurative artist, worked with her muse for over a year to paint the image. “I had to change from using pastels to oil for this, and it was like changing musical instruments.” Together, the artist and model worked on the image. Was the vintage cocktail dress right? Should the sleeves be long or short? How should she stand and where should she place her arms and hands? “If only you could see the beginnings,” said Erwin. “We changed so much, photographed the ideas constantly and by the fourth outfit, we had it.” The portrait is back in Louisville briefly before it is sent to its permanent home with a top female financier New York City. “She’ll be right there in Manhattan and will be seen and taken care of,” said Erwin. “I’m so happy about that.” Erwin reflected on her recent success while resting on a decorative couch in her eclectic studio. Skulls clutter a desktop.

Period costumes and antique dolls dot the hallway. Light pours in through large windows, and tarps, paint and canvases circle the room on the second floor of a historical home. The studio is infused with imagination. Erwin’s emotional portraits are inspired by realism and Old Master paintings. Her work is included in the Speed Art Museum’s collection, as well as in the collections of 21c Museum Hotels, the Columbus College of Art and Design, the Huntsville Museum of Art and the Evansville Museum of Arts and Science. She always had a knack for portraiture and studied at the Columbus College of Art and Design and the University of Louisville. With an undergraduate degree in expressive therapy in psychology, Erwin studied artmaking as a form of therapy. “I thought it was a brilliant idea,” she said. “I could make money as a therapist and enjoy the art aspect of it, but as an artist, you have to give your all to the art.” She decided to work in the art realm full time and spent several years as a photo stylist for a catalogue company and as a retail window designer. It was a demanding but creative endeavor, and working with the fashion, models and creative teams taught her crucial elements of capturing detail and filling a scene with emotion. Simultaneously, she built her reputation as a fine artist and began teaching visual arts at Bellarmine University, the University of Louisville and other area schools. “When I started, it was the heyday of abstract expressionism, but as a figurative artist, it was tough. Everyone just wanted to splash paint around, but I wanted to create portraits,” she said. As she developed her craft, she painted many self-portraits by self-reflection in a mirror, even exploring herself as a man. She applied for and received many grants that allowed her to travel internationally and study the Old Masters. “I basically created my own MFA degree,” she laughed. A grant from the Kentucky Foundation for Women in 1986 sent Erwin to the Virginia Center for the Creative Arts and was followed by a prestigious residency in studio art in Greece and additional residencies in the south of France, Germany and Ireland. “It was the turning point in my life,” she said. “I was aghast. They all treated me as an artist.” 60

“Gaela Erwin has a remarkable gift for creating portraits with a striking level of emotional and psychological depth,” said Miranda Lash, curator of contemporary art at the Speed Art Museum. “Her self-portraits reveal different sides of who she is and the artists she admires. I admire her ability to be so versatile, introspective and even vulnerable.” “Starting a painting is always the hardest part,” Erwin said. “My subject will sit for two hours, and then I photograph them.” The most important part is that two-hour process, where Erwin draws out her subjects, both literally and figuratively. “I have that give and take, that dialogue, between artist and sitter, and you really glean an intimacy that is so important,” she added. “To paint a person is one thing, but to capture a personality is a gift,” Erwin said. “That’s what draws me in the most.” Perhaps the most emotive paintings she has done include a series featuring her mother in later years. As her mother’s health declined, Erwin found herself traveling frequently to North Carolina to be a caregiver. To soften the ravages of her mother’s illness, Erwin involved her mother in her art. They took photographs, OCTOBER 2019

dressed in period costumes and connected on a deep level as Erwin painted a series of poignant, deeply realistic images of her mother and herself. “It was very cathartic for both of us,” she said. “She supported me as an artist, and it was the unifying thing that brought us together through the decline and degradation of her mind.” Caring for her mother and the emotions that came with it forced Erwin to put her portrait work on hold. But when she began painting her mother, something changed. “That body of work saved me,” she said. “My mother and I were very similar, and I grieved so much watching her go through her illness.” Her mother passed away in 2014, a month shy of her 89th birthday. At the same time, Erwin was in talks with the Speed Art Museum to develop an exhibition, which would later be born as “Gaela Erwin: Reframing The Past” in 2016. The Speed commissioned her to create a series of pastel pieces inspired by works on paper from the museum’s collection of 18th and 20th century pastels. “I said, ‘Yes, bring it on!’” Erwin exclaimed. She worked for two years to bring the collection to life, pouring over

the Speed’s inspiration pieces and working with the director of costumes at Actors Theatre to support her work. “I tried to translate the images I selected and make it my own,” she said. “It was a fantastic dream because my orientation is around the Georgian period and French painting around 1780, which is the golden age of masters of portraiture.” “Her handling of pastels is exquisite, executed on a level that is rarely seen,” said the Speed’s Lash. “Gaela’s work draws on Old Master techniques but still feels contemporary. Her capacity as an observer is uncanny. “I also admired the attention she pays to her sitters’ costumes,” Lash added. “No one can handle recreating lace like Gaela does.” More recently, Erwin continues to work on commissions and a new series of paintings. In her light-filled studio in her Highlands home, 12 portraits line a wall. The brooding and sometimes delighted or thoughtful stares of a dozen individual men gaze at the viewer. They are young, old, sexy, scruffy, dignified and curious. “I’m calling it ‘Looking at Men: Objects of Desire,’” she said. As always, inspiration can strike out of the blue. Erwin received a grant from

the Rev. Al Shands’ Great Meadows Foundation to attend the Venice Biennale. She found her latest exhibition inspiration on a meandering walk through the twisting and mysterious, narrow roads of Venice, Italy. “I was stumbling around Venice and came across a small industrial part near the water, and I saw this concrete dock and there was a pile of old boats stacked about eight high,” Erwin said. “I asked a young man if it was an art installation and he said, ‘No, it was just boats.’” The boats were outside an old shop that restored Venice’s famous gondolas. The young man invited her inside and hours later, she’d enjoyed learning about the ancient art of gondolas, had lunch with her new friends, taken a gondola ride and sketched an impromptu portrait of her new friend, Giovanni. That was the inspiration she needed. “I took lots of photos and painted him as soon as I got back,” she said. She began looking for additional inspiration for the series in men who she “stumbled” across in her daily life. She has now painted

The images are varied, the stories wide. “I wanted to turn the male gaze on its head and have us look at them.” Erwin hopes people will look at the portraits and form an instant story in their mind about how they feel about the person – judging their appearance and the exquisite detail she paints into every wrinkle, gaze and smile. As she puts the final touches on the portraits, she will have them professionally photographed and will then shop them for a solo exhibition outside of Louisville. So, what’s next? “That’s the question I ask myself,” she laughed. “Inspiration is all part of an experience, a moment. There’s always an incubation process that can be a year or more. I look for perfect days, which are not having to deal with business issues or emails. I’ll walk the dog, come to the studio and work through the afternoon. Maybe go horseback riding.

Erica Fields, 65, and Patience Fields, 49, are two such individuals who are happy, ambitious and By MARIAH KLINE eager to share why they love their ages.

Together, they’ve taken aging in stride and reflect on what it has taught them.

On the wisdom that comes with aging... “You never learn from your successes, you learn from your mistakes. Having made a lot of mistakes in my life, I’ve got a lot of knowledge,” Erica laughs. “Even at 49, I’m a little forgetful,” says Patience. “But I feel in a lot of ways like my brain has grown because of experience. I’ve dealt with so many different situations and successfully solved them. When certain times of drama come up, I know how to handle them.”

“The older you get, the more you want to reconnect with people.” – Erica Fields

“It’s that familiarity and it brings you joy.” – Patience Fields

“I find that the older I get, the more I kind of reminisce about people and things from the past,” says Erica. “The older you get the more you want to reconnect with people. I think Facebook has done an incredible job for my generation to give us the opportunity to have that reconnection.”

On life in Louisville... Erica frequently traveled to Louisville for work during her time in Minneapolis, and Patience began joining her around 2011. “I knew Louisville was a lot more liberal than the rest of Kentucky, but I still had no idea what to expect,” says Erica. “We were both nervous, but within a few months we met some amazing people.” Patience and Erica are two of the founding members of Civitas, the regional chamber of commerce for LGBTQ businesses that launched earlier this year. They

are also active in community theater with Pandora Productions. “Because the LGBTQIA (lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, intersex and asexual) community often feels disenfranchised, I don’t feel like they usually separate people because of their age,” says Patience. In fact, on a trip to Amsterdam in recent years, the wives happened upon a Pride celebration specifically for seniors. “There were 5,000 to 10,000 LGBT people from 45 to 90 years old,” Erica recalls. “It was just amazing, and we fit right in.”

On the advantages of being an older adult... “It’s loving your body,” Patience explains. “It’s loving your little curves and just feeling so comfortable in how your body looks. I don’t think I felt that in my 20s or 30s or even early 40s. This is a kind

of recent comfort. It’s that familiarity and it brings you joy.” “I’ve been really comfortable in my body since I completed my transition in 2010,” says Erica. “It’s been a relatively short period of time but it’s been marvelous. I feel comfortable. I’ve got more aches and pains but nothing insurmountable” “Sometimes when Erica walks slowly, I tease her and call it the ‘Erica shuffle,’” Patience laughs. “But recently I’ve noticed that I’ve been doing it myself a little bit.” So, does the couple have plans to shuffle into retirement anytime soon? Not a chance. Within the next year, Erica intends to gradually step back in her duties at Brooks Grain and embark on a new project with Patience. While they remain tight-lipped on what it is they’ll be working on, they are excited to be doing it together. “It’s something very special,” says Patience. Erica says, “It’s a new adventure.” V

Janelle Willoughby A GROUNDBREAKING SKINCARE METHOD ARRIVES AT THE SKIN GROUP

By MARIAH KLINE Photo by KATHRYN HARRINGTON

esthetician Janelle Willoughby is excited to introduce patients to the TempSure Envi, the newest tool in the Skin Group’s arsenal. The device is the first of its kind available in Louisville. As a trainer for Cynosure, the creator of TempSure, Willoughby has had first-hand access to see the power the instrument can deliver. Now, she is looking forward to helping local patients who are ready to turn back the clock on their skin. “I always tell patients that I can turn back time, but I can’t freeze it,” she says. While this is true, the TempSure Envi has shown magnificent results that can make the skin look significantly younger and smoother. The device works by heating the skin’s underlying layers of tissue, stimulating the body’s own ability to grow new collagen and elastin. This in turn tightens and plumps up the skin to give it a more youthful appearance. TempSure can be applied to the face as well as other parts of the body where sagging skin and cellulite can form. While the technology used isn’t new, the process and results have drastically improved since the method was first introduced. “Radiofrequency has been around a long time, but it has slowly evolved into being a really comfortable treatment,” says Willoughby. “Its predecessors were painful or required a lot of downtime, but this has none of that and doesn’t cause sensitivity.” For those in their 20s and 30s, Willoughby says the TempSure Envi is perfect for preventing fine lines and wrinkles before they become severe. For those closer to their 60s, it can provide correction and a noticeable tightening of the skin. The device

can even access the eyelid and under-eye areas that fillers and other products often cannot get to without causing damage. The treatments are typically done in four visits with one treatment per year recommended after to maintain the appearance. Following each treatment, patients do not experience any irritation and instead have a brighter appearance. “You get an instant glow from the heat of the device for about a day or so,” she explains. “It’s great to do before a big event.” To officially introduce the TempSure Envi, the Skin Group is hosting an open house on Oct. 3 from 5 to 7 p.m., and on Nov. 14, the company will host its big fall open house. With the cooler weather arriving soon, Willoughby says now is the time for patients to consider some more aggressive treatments that they might avoid in the summer. “It’s a great time of year to do our IPL Photofacial, which treats brown spots, since you’re less likely to get too much sun exposure,” she says. “Another great one to consider is sclerotherapy, which is injections for leg veins. Although we all think about that come spring and summer, you need to wear support stockings (after) and that can be hot, and your legs can bruise.” Willoughby also recommends adjusting daily skincare routines since changes in weather affect the surface of our skin. “I recommend a little bit more hydration and maybe more exfoliation,” she says. “That can be done at home with medical-grade skincare or in-office with chemical peels. Everyone needs to be mindful of exfoliation – from youth to aged skin. You need to keep those cells turning over to have youthful, dewy skin at any age.”

n Eastpoint Parkway, surrounded by dozens of office buildings, stands the large and fortress-like Limestone Bank. The massive structure appears intimidating but inside it, a group of warm and compassionate individuals are hard at work for their customers and their community. Formerly known as PBI Bank, the company rebranded to Limestone Bank in early 2018. In addition to traditional personal and commercial services, the bank specializes in agriculture and equine banking, two specialties that benefit many Kentuckians. “Our staff has been working in the equine industry for decades, and it’s a very specialized process,” says Morgan Tiemann, director of marketing and communications. “If you want someone who truly understands that industry in the way that we do, it makes for a better experience.” Throughout the state, Limestone has 15 branches and is set to open five more by the end of 2019. From metropolitan areas to rural towns, each branch abides by the same set of core values that include honesty, professionalism and other essential business standards. “Whether or not we’re following our values and living out that culture flows into the people we serve,” says Senior Vice President and General Counsel Stephanie Renner. “It’s something we try to emulate every day,” adds Tiemann. “Even though we

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

have different day-to-day experiences, locations and customer bases, our priorities should always be the same.” Limestone has a particularly strong commitment to entrepreneurs and small business owners. The lenders and bankers pride themselves on thoroughly understanding a customer’s business, what they do and what their needs are. “I think we have a connection and a specialty in dealing with people who may have grown weary of big banking and just being a number,” says Renner. “If you’re a small business person or entrepreneur, bankers are a key part of your team and your success.” Renner, a graduate of Notre Dame Law School and a mother of two boys, has been with the company for seven years, and she has been involved with the March of Dimes Signature Chefs Auction for six years. In this time, she has helped establish

a trusted partnership between March of Dimes and Limestone Bank, a gold sponsor of this year’s auction. As she has worked with the nonprofit, Renner has discovered more and more about how many lives the organization impacts. “What people don’t realize sometimes is that those of us who have had healthy babies and relatively uneventful pregnancies have the March of Dimes to thank for that,” says Renner. Part of why the partnership with Limestone works so well is because the bank’s staff understands the issue of premature birth from both an emotional and a practical standpoint. “Honestly, premature birth is an incredibly expensive event,” says Renner. “It has a significant impact on business, insurance costs and the health of your workforce. Pregnancy takes up enough time, but if you have a mother who has to be on bed rest for months or a parent who has to spend every day in the NICU, that’s a significant drain on a business.”

Thanks to Renner’s involvement, Limestone Bank President and CEO John Taylor has served as a past chair for the Signature Chefs Auction and become passionate about the cause. He and his team members look forward to the annual event that showcases Louisville’s culinary scene and further educates the public about the March of Dimes. “For years, Limestone Bank has supported the March of Dimes in their meaningful work to improve the health of babies and moms,” says Taylor. “We are particularly proud of this partnership because of the significant impact it has on the health and wellbeing of all the people we serve both in this community and in our other markets.” “(This event) bridges the gap between a large-scale worldwide issue and our immediate community,” says Tiemann. “This is a channel to show our support in a way that touches so many people. It (shares) not just the things we care about as an organization but as members of the community.” V

Collaborative Care at The Altenheim

ur mission at The Altenheim is to offer quality compassionate care to residents who, along with their families, have entrusted us to care for them. We partner with families in planning the care individual residents need while striving to maintain their independence. As the director of nursing, I have many different roles in our small facility. I am responsible for staffing/scheduling; interviewing, hiring and counseling employees; infection control; quality assurance; policy and procedure monitoring; and updating, just to mention a few. During my rounds several times a day, I collaborate with the nurses and nursing assistants to ensure that our residents are being cared for as if they were our own family. My favorite part of the day is sitting and visiting with or feeding one of the residents with my team members. The team of staff members at The Altenheim share the same philosophy I do when caring for our senior residents. Each department head takes the time to meet each new resident and make them feel welcome in their new home. We are fortunate to have such close relationships with each resident – whether they are in independent living, personal care or nursing facility care. We also offer respite stays where a resident could come

THE VOICE OF LOUISVILLE

for as few as seven days or up to 30 days while giving the family a break from the 24-hour care at home. We encourage families to decorate the resident’s room with personal items so they feel comfortable in their surroundings. Our activity director varies her programming based on the needs of the residents. We have many volunteers who add joy to the lives of residents, including taking them on long walks, reading to them, painting with them or going on park rides in our facility van. We even have a garden club. One of our residents recently told us that he absolutely loves it here, and he takes pride in the fact that residents can assist others who have more needs. We all take care of each other, and that makes our facility a wonderful home! We value the family members and strive to keep them informed on how their loved one is adjusting or changing within our community living. Communication is key to supporting the resident and family. A family member may visit when the resident is having a bad day and feel terrible when they leave. The next day may be great, and our nurses will call the family to say, “Stop in – she is having a wonderful day!” Our nurses greet the family members and let them know what to expect when they go to see their loved one. We learn so much from many of our residents who have lived longer than we

have. Three of our residents just returned from the Honor Flight Bluegrass, where they spent a day in Washington D.C. touring all of the monuments and visiting Arlington National Cemetery. I was personally involved in getting their paperwork together along with assuring their medical and dietary needs would be met. We have a close relationship with our medical director and our nurse practitioner, who is in our facility every week to address the needs of the residents. We also have a psychiatric nurse practitioner who addresses needs of residents. The medical team collaborates daily to meet the needs of each resident, which is something I am proud to be a part of. With only 50 residents in our entire building, it allows me time to ensure every need is met. I have been a nurse for over 25 years and have had many roles as a nurse, but I always found myself wanting to care for this generation the most. My four years at The Altenheim have refreshed my nursing spirit, and I plan to be here for many years to come! Since 1906, we’ve been providing a welcoming home. Come experience the exceptional care for yourself at The Altenheim. — Laura Stephens, Director of Nursing

very day, family caregivers are on the front line providing compassionate care to older loved ones in the Louisville area. Research confirms most family caregivers are women. Caregiving is beautiful, but it can be equally challenging and isolating. To maintain a good attitude and find balance throughout the caregiving journey, following is a list of helpful tips and encouragement from Home Instead Senior Care. 1. Find a place, person or activity you can go to for motivation and inspiration. Many caregivers find solace in their spirituality while others lean into a spouse or close friend to keep them motivated and inspired. They also find journaling or other expressive activities helpful to release emotion. 2. Practice self-care to avoid burnout. You can’t care for someone if you have an empty tank. If a vacation or getaway isn’t in the cards, taking small breaks can help. Even a few minutes at a time to walk outside for a breath of fresh air or to listen to your favorite song can re-energize your mind and provide mental clarity. If you only have a few minutes, practice breathing in for four counts and out for four counts, this is both calming and centering. 3. Take time to reflect along the journey. The days can be long, but the time can be short. It’s important to reflect and remember throughout the caregiving journey that it is just that – a journey. Each day you may learn something new about yourself or your loved one. 4. Get help when and where you can. If respite care is an option, many caregivers find relief from the help of a professional caregiver. Consider in-home care services such as Home Instead Senior Care. Services can be utilized for as much or as little as needed. The care will be personalized to your situation and may provide just the help you need. Visit louisvillehomecare.com or simply call 502-515-9515. It is OK to be human, cry when you need to cry, laugh and enjoy the sentimental moments when you can. Try to remember that life changes very quickly and nothing lasts forever. When you feel like you are failing, repeat this phrase: “I did the best I could at the time.” That is really all any of us can ever do.

How To Spend Quality Time with a Parent who has Memory Loss

“

Just your physical presence in the room can be rewarding and enjoyable for your loved one, and leave you with a good feeling.”

THE VOICE OF LOUISVILLE

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

amily members of seniors with moderate to severe memory loss often struggle to define “meaningful, quality time” with their older loved ones. How do you communicate with an elder whose mind is being ravaged by Alzheimer’s or dementia? Do they even know that you’re there, let alone know how you feel about them? What do you do if your dad exhibits a behavioral outburst during your visit? What if your mom has difficulty remembering names, and family members are upset by it? How can you make the time you spend together enjoyable for your parent with dementia? How do you help soothe his or her anxiety and help him or her to feel more positive? Lastly, how can you cope with your own fears and sadness about your older loved one’s decline? Here are three ways: KEEP EVENTS LOWKEY AND ROUTINE Let’s say that your dad’s 90th birthday is coming up, and you and the family want to throw him a special celebration. You might spend hours planning the party, sending invitations to friends and family, arranging for a caterer, etc. Before his diagnosis, your dad might have loved and appreciated all the effort you went through to make his day special. Now, he might not be able to show it, and he might not be able to handle the party atmosphere either. Instead of throwing a big party on the evening of his birthday, bring the

grandkids and a special cake over to his retirement home in the middle of the day, during your regularly scheduled visit. AVOID BURNOUT AND ASK FOR HELP WHEN YOU NEED IT You can’t be all things to all people. If you’re exhausted and frazzled, you won’t be able to provide effective care. Make sure you’re looking after your own needs, too. Ask your partner or spouse to cook or plan dinner out. Enlist your siblings to take your parent for the weekend or arrange for your parent to be admitted for short-term respite care so that you can take a breather. Attend a caregiver support group at The Episcopal Church Home here in Louisville, or visit online caregiving forums for caregiving tips and emotional support from others who are in the same situation you are. PRIORITIZE PRESENCE OVER SUBSTANCE Older loved ones with advanced dementia may no longer be able to communicate verbally. But the sound of your voice or the touch of your hand might be soothing and enjoyable for them. A quality visit doesn’t have to involve conversation. It might just be sitting, holding hands and listening to your mother’s favorite music. It might be a hug. It might involve combing and styling your mother’s hair for her. Just your physical presence in the room can be rewarding and enjoyable for your loved one, and leave you with a good feeling, too. OCTOBER 2019

I had the chance to speak with her at the event, and she told me about how she became involved with the foundation. “As the wife of a fallen officer, I have been privileged to be a guest in years past and have always loved the party in support of our brave LMPD,” she said. “Getting to see behind the scenes to witness the huge effort people are making to benefit the foundation is heartwarming.

party with a purpose. Texas Roadhouse is also a generous partner of the LMPF and has always provided the best food.” Whew. Well, I was onto the next rodeo that got rollin’ in Louisville on a Mint Julep Tours bus. It all started when I received an invitation from Rob Samuels. In case you don’t recognize his name, I will offer a small

hint: Maker’s Mark. Rob is the eighth generation of the Samuels family to steer the distillery into yet another new era of success. He told me about the evening planned to honor Stephen Rolfe Powell, a glass artist from Kentucky. Of course, I just had to be a part of such a special evening unveiling the exhibit at Maker’s Mark Distillery.

Once we arrived, libations were served, and we began touring the exhibit that is arranged throughout the distillery grounds. A part of the display is situated in the warehouse between the racks of barrels, exuding the delectable scent of bourbon (which I found to be a delightful way to experience the colorful glass art).

GLOWING FOR GOOD

Inside Hosparus Health’s Nov. 16 Candle Glow Gala By MARIAH KLINE Photos by ANDREA HUTCHINSON

ounded by a group of dedicated volunteers, Hosparus Health has served thousands of local families during one of life’s most trying times. For more than 40 years, the nonprofit has provided hospice and palliative care, grief counseling and other support services to those in need. Funds from the organization’s annual Candle Glow Gala allow their team to continue this amazing work and serve more people in our community. To learn more about this year’s event and how more of us can get involved, we spoke with gala committee chair Denise Roby.

What to Expect “The Candle Glow Gala is about celebrating life,” says Roby. “Guests can expect a black-tie celebration with more than 700 guests. The night will be complete with cocktails, silent auction, dinner

and dancing, as well as a raffle for an extremely rare bottle of bourbon. Only 100 chances to win will be sold.”

The Lounge Following dinner and awards presentations, even more guests will join the party when the Candle Glow Lounge experience begins. “The lounge includes premium open bar, delicious hors d’oeuvres, dancing, a silent auction and a bourbon pull,” she explains. “The ultra lounge setting is very popular with young professionals.”

The Planning “This is my fifth year as the gala chair,” says Roby. “We have a fabulous committee for both gala and the lounge, and I really enjoy working with all of them. It is an honor to plan a party for Hosparus Health. My favorite part is talking with OCTOBER 2019

The dessert before dinner. Some dreams don’t need interpreting.

Striking design. Pinpoint Porsche handling. The unforgettable feel of a sports car. One serving of the new Macan is all you’ll need. But surely, you’ll want more. Porsche. There is no substitute.

donors, vendors and people in the community, many of whom have Hosparus stories which they share, and it reminds me of why we do what we do as a committee.”

The Mission “Having a loved one who is living with a serious illness or facing the end of life is difficult,” Roby says. “Whether it is palliative care or hospice care, Hosparus is there for both the patient and the family. Using Hosparus can ease the stress and help create meaningful moments during that most difficult time.”

How to Get Involved “Hosparus serves over 1,000 patients in our community everyday, with special programs for children and vets needing palliative and hospice care,” she says. “Private insurance and government reimbursement only cover a portion of the cost, which is why community financial support, both from businesses and individuals, is essential. “If you cannot join on Nov. 16, there are other ways to get involved,” Roby adds. “You can donate auction items, buy a raffle ticket, bid on silent auction items that evening or just make a donation.” V

The Candle Glow Gala will take place at the Louisville Marriott Downtown on Nov. 16 beginning at 6 p.m. To learn more or purchase tickets, visit hosparushealth.org/events/14th-annualcandle-glow-gala or contact Event and Donor Development Coordinator Kelsi Dempster at 502.719.4211 or kdempster@hosparus.org.
