from the

PUBLISHER “Delicious autumn! My very soul is wedded to it, and if I were a bird I would fly about the earth seeking the successive autumns.” —George Eliot

ere we are in October. Where has the summer gone? It seems like I live within the eye of a hurricane at certain moments, especially press week when everything around me is in a whirlwind of activity. Life rushes along with appointments and fun engagements that fill our lives with things to do. October provokes a sense of nostalgia for me or a longing of sorts for sweater weather to hurry up and arrive. Everything from fashionable boots to trendy overcoats, I adore the chilly days of October. They welcome the crispness of autumn along with the evocative scent of fallen leaves. October also has a sensibility about it, like it’s rolling out the welcome mat for the change in seasons. As we have all heard change is inevitable, it’s also challenging and stimulating all at the same time. Here at The VOICE, we have had our changes happening and they are exhilarating, to say the least. Welcome our newly appointed Editor in Chief, Alexandra Hepfinger, introduced in our September issue as managing editor. She is dynamic, hard-working and a true joy that will blaze a trail for our publication. I would also like to take a moment to recognize our team and thank them for their inspirational work ethic. Each one of them ‘keeps the train moving’ so to say. Working all hours of the day and night to meet our deadlines that always seem to be sooner than later. For this issue, we are introducing our PASSPORT column with Crew Aviation. Focusing on Private Air Charter, Jet Management, Aircraft Acquisitions and Stellar Service that will encourage you to consider a luxury flight experience of your own. To all of our loyal advertisers and subscribers, without your invaluable support, we could not do what we do so well, deliver The VOICE Louisville to your doorstep every month.

Letter from the

EDITOR

t seems serendipitous to have my first issue mark the change of season. As I step into the role of Editor in Chief of VOICE Louisville, I strive to add a bit of personal flair while keeping the publication’s legacy intact. For starters, that’s why we decided to evolve the theme of this issue to Wellness, in part to highlight that Wellness isn’t limited to your physical health. Wellness encompasses your mental wellbeing and sense of feeling whole and safe in your surrounding environment. Without further ado, I welcome you to our October issue. We spoke with the owner of LifeBar, who is delivering superfood smoothies to your doorstep. We sat down with the fabulous team at Vivify Wellness Club to learn how to tailor your wellness journey. Joe Daily reveals his vast knowledge of specialty teas and the art of brewing them properly. Steve Humphrey explores the conundrum of the Mind-Body connection. Our Industry Showcase, written by Rachel Porter, highlights several medical professionals in our community that focus on mental and physical health. Contributing writer, Ella Treinen, wrote a thoughtful piece on the Louisville Metro Police Foundation, on how they support the mental and physical strength of those who protect our city. We feature two Home Trends columns for the first time and focus on Home Trends Construction with Mark Clore and the renovation he recently completed. Home Trends Real Estate with Terri Bass discussing the trend for second home purchases and how to navigate the process. In our Tastes feature, Vincenzo and Agostino Gabriele discuss their history and the making of their partnership that created Vincenzo’s restaurant.

Louisville’s Smoothie Superheroes Lifebar, one of Louisville’s original smoothie bars, transitioned online to bring their clean and healthy blends to your doorstep By RACHEL PORTER Photos provided by LIFEBAR

Chase and Jamie Barmore.

he founder of LifeBar in Louisville, Chase Barmore, knew that he wanted to expand Louisville’s healthfood options. In 2010, Chase and his wife Jamie decided to share the city’s most transparent and cleanest superfoods. They created one of

VOICE LOUISVILLE

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

the original smoothie bars in Louisville, located at Rainbow Blossom Natural Food Markets for a decade. “Since day one, we were all about health, and we crafted the perfect smoothie with no fillers, sugars, or gums,” said Jamie. At LifeBar, customers can count the ingredients on one hand.

OCTOBER 2021

As 2020 approached, Chase and Jamie dreamed of LifeBar becoming a functional smoothie brand. “We were really busy at the bars and wanted to make the perfect smoothie every time. So what we did was pre-pack all of the ingredients to guarantee consistency,” they said. They thought, “Wow, everyone can make these at home.” The pandemic gave them the push they needed to fulfill this idea and offer products online. Now loyal customers and new ones can order and choose from four plantbased ready-to-blend smoothie packs as well as the protein blends and adaptogen boosters on LifeBar’s website. “Instead of having to house all of the superfoods in your own home, they are in one pack,” Jamie said. “All you need to do is add water.” LifeBar delivers to Louisville residents five days a week. They also recently launched their protein blends of ChocoMaca and BanillaMaca on Amazon.

OCTOBER 2021

Chase and Jamie are still striving to uphold the idea of food being our medicine by including clean and local ingredients such as hemp, a beneficial superfood, to provide healthy options. LifeBar “simply wants to make healthy food taste good.” Their goal is to put clean and yummy superfoods on the map. v

The Infrared Sauna available at Vivify is unlike any other traditional steam sauna because it uses infrared heaters to emit infrared light experienced as radiant heat absorbed by the skin’s surface. Scientists have established that infrared waves are beneficial to the human body as they increase the thermal energy in the body. The Infrared Sauna does this without any of the harmful rays of sunlight. Benefits include: increased metabolism, rejuvenated skin, improves circulation and more. Another service is Whole-body Cryotherapy (WBC), the process of exposing the body to hyper-cooled air from -200 degrees Fahrenheit to -300 degrees Fahrenheit. The body’s natural healing mechanisms are triggered as though it were freezing. The blood accumulates in the body’s core to warm, expanding the capillaries to approximately four times the average diameter. Your white blood cells flow throughout your body faster, accelerating the healing process by up to 50%. The brain triggers a release of endorphins, adrenaline and other hormones into your body. During this 2-3 minute process, the brain stimulates the body’s organ regulatory function resulting in energy increase, cell rejuvenation, immune system boost and overall self-healing. Benefits include: stimulates the lymphatic system, removes toxins, increases circulation, rejuvenates cells, enhances mood and more. President Alane Paulley of Vivify Wellness Club believes that wellness is achieved more efficiently with everything you need under one roof. “The ability to combine innovation, technology and affordability with helping more people will be a major biohacking secret in Louisville,” Paulley explained. v Vivify Wellness Club 106 Watterson Trail Louisville, KY 40243 vivifyclub.com 502.289.1045

Libations

Daily Libations Joe spills the tea on all things tea By JOE DAILY | Photos by ANDREA HUTCHINSON

ere we are. It is almost my favorite time of year. The leaves are changing, the temperature is relaxing, and sweater weather is almost upon us. This month in Daily Libations, we are going to discuss tea. Being from Kentucky, sweet/unsweet black tea was a staple growing up with my family, as I am sure it was for many. Most of us are familiar with this standard black tea blend. We are going to open up the world of the most consumed beverage in the world. For thousands of years, tea has been cultivated and consumed for its health and wellness benefits. Hot or cold, it is a beverage everyone can typically agree on in some form or fashion. Tea is generalized quite often but is much deeper than just green or black. Those are ultimately two categories of many, with many sub-categories falling underneath their leaves. This month we will talk about the origins of the tea plant itself, Camellia Sinensis and cover black teas production methods. Due to the wide varieties of tea there are in the world today, we will merely scratch the surface, but hopefully, you will leave with a little more understanding than you previously had before—a few words to fill your cup. Tea can ultimately be very confusing, so I wanted to add a footnote now. The teas we mainly discuss derive from Camellia Sinensis; I am not referring to tisanes, hibiscus tea or fruit and herb/root-based teas are considered tisane teas. Tisanes are, however, a trendy alternative to traditional teas and often beautiful as pictured in this month’s spread, but they are not the focus of our discussion at this time.

VOICE LOUISVILLE

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

If you’re curious about black tea, stick around, we will cover it in this column. We will dive into other categories of tea later in the year as well. Camellia Sinensis was initially discovered in China by Buddhist monks thousands of years ago. We have also established signs of cultivation dating back to 7000 BCE. It was not until the 1600s before western society began to cultivate their tea. Today we stand with over 35 major tea-producing countries around the world. If you would ever like to visit one, look no further than Charleston, South Carolina, The Charleston Tea Garden. Now let’s break into black tea and its method of production. Black tea accounts for 90% of the tea consumed in the western world. It is served and prepared in a multitude of ways. Often with milk or cream if served hot or in iced tea chilled sweet or unsweet. It’s versatile by nature. Black tea is fast-growing tea that is easy to produce and harvest every ten or so days. One with origins in the lowlands of northern India, varietal, Camellia Sinensis, Assamica is typical black tea. Now we will discuss how this tea is processed post-harvest: Step 1: Our first stage of preparing tea is withering. The freshly picked tea leaves are laid on large, perforated metal racks to remove excess moisture. A fan above pumps air from the top through the shelves of leaves at a controlled temperature and speed to ensure withering is an exact process. Occasionally the leaves are flipped to further even the process. Step 2: We are now on the stage of rolling the tea. For many years, workers would knead tea leaves by hand to break down the leaves’ cellular structure and relieve even more excess moisture. Today we use specialized equipment known as a roller to press tea leaves in a more expedited process. There are still higher-end teas hand-rolled into tiny pearls, Oolong occasionally being one of them. Step 3: We place our newly rolled tea leaves onto a table or the ground for the process known as oxidation. (For my wine drinkers out there, we typically avoid too much of this, ha!) This vital step allows oxygen to integrate with the tea leaves fully. The enzymatic reaction is due to the exposure of oxygen to produce the desired aromas, taste and color for black tea. Black teas are typically fully oxidized, but in some cases, particular styles of tea halt oxidation. OCTOBER 2021

Step 4: The drying process of our tea is one step closer to tea. If you ever see me out enjoying a cup, feel free to stop and having a cup. Through drying, we halt the oxidation process to have a chat! v remove nearly all moisture content. We leave 3-4% moisture in our leaves, resulting in a shelf-stable product to enjoy for quite As always, a long time. If you drink it. I study it. Step 5: It is time for the cleaning process to remove access Cheers, veins, stems and particulates from our newly dried leaves. Joe Step 6: The most crucial step is grading. A grading apparatus is a machine that consists of a rotating drum with multiple layers of mesh with different size holes to allow the separation of different-sized leaves. Step 7: The final step in our adventure is packing our newly finished tea into tea sachets or bagged loose-leaf tea. The package includes a label with its grade, weight, origin and package date. So, what are your thoughts so far? Did you ever think you would find yourself reading about the wonders of tea? The history of tea as a commodity is rich with history—tales of corporate espionage to taxation to all-out war. The production of tea was a highly regarded secret for generations. For me, to have the ability to talk about this to this day openly is a feat in itself. I find myself sitting back and thinking about it quite often. I hope you’ve enjoyed this month’s read on the introduction to black

I advanced to the lawn boy for the offices, pulling charts and working as an assistant to the practicing orthodontist and carried on the torch from my father.

What sets Ahrens Orthodontics apart from other orthodontics offices? At Ahrens Orthodontics, we are a private practice with no intention to become a large, corporate orthodontic group. We take pride in having personal relationships with our patients and community. Our practice has had a banner year, being voted the Best Orthodontic Practice in Louisville by VOICE Louisville, Courier-Journal and USA Today! These accolades are a direct reflection of hard work, an amazing staff and being very blessed. Multiple team members have been with our practice for over 20 years, which has been pivotal in treating three to four generations of some families.

What makes orthodontics at Ahrens best suited to give patients a smile they love? The combination of experience, technology, and caring people results in a practice that loves and enjoys what we do. I am so very lucky to be an orthodontist and to be a part of our patient’s lives. There is no greater joy than seeing the smile on a patient’s face the day you finish and knowing the lifelong confidence you helped to create.

What are some unique services offered at Ahrens Orthodontics? The technology of IntraOral Scanners, 3D printers, digital models, bone stimulation appliances and the use of Dental Monitoring allows us to treat smarter, quicker, less painfully, more accurately even from farther distances.

The Builder’s Blueprint Jason Black discusses his vision behind the forever home

By RACHEL PORTER | Photos provided by SOUTHERN LIVING IDEA HOUSE

outhern Living has been producing signature homes that represent and celebrate the South for over 30 years. Artisan Signature Homes, Louisville’s premiere Southern Living Custom Home Builder, had the honor of constructing Southern Living’s 2021 Idea House in the Breakers at Prospect, a new development on the Ohio River. We spoke with Jason Black, founder of Artisan Signature Homes and Southern Living Custom Building Program board director, to meet the builder and vision behind the “forever home.”

What was your inspiration for building this home? We wanted a home that captured the bluff views of the Ohio River. Every room connects or has long views that are so special and hard to find in new construction. We wanted a new home but wanted it to have an old soul.

How did you discover the lot on the Ohio River?

What makes this home different from the other ones you have built?

My wife Gretchen insisted we buy it but had no idea what we would do with it. We just knew we could create something special here.

The collaboration with everyone involved works towards a common goal of a home that inspires others when they visit it.

What makes this house a “forever home?” A family can raise young children here, and they can also grow old here. There are many versatile spaces for a combination of family members, including a second bedroom on the first floor that could be for a nanny, in-laws, or college-age students.

How did you add a taste of Kentucky to the home? Local artisans did most of the work using classic architecture to create a tailored, sophisticated look on the front and a laid-back face and feel from the backside. A local slugger bat was hand-carved into the bedpost of the fourposter bed in the primary bedroom.

What were the most significant challenges building this home? Jimmy King and Jason Black. Photo courtesy of Southern Living/Marta Xochilt Perez.

The shortage of materials and tight workforce labor. We built the house with no road and temporary utilities until the show opened on July 31.

What is your favorite room in the home and why? The kitchen connects to the outside and links to the hub of the house, the studio space. It also has a unique back pantry for prep and other cooking.

How will this project inspire your future work? We will continue to take on unique projects that will enhance the local landscape for the better.

Safe in the skies: Crew Aviation goes beyond regulations to keep passengers safe By AMY BARNES Photos by KATHRYN HARRINGTON

tellar Service (™) with Safety Standards. Louisville private aviation company Crew Aviation, LLC prides itself in being at the leading edge in ensuring the highest levels of safety, certification and training available in the industry. VOICE Louisville spoke with the Director of Training and Director of Safety regarding the extra steps Crew Aviation takes to ensure every flight meets and exceeds federal, international and internal regulations and expectations.

What are the different levels of safety compliance?

Kelly Friel.

VOICE LOUISVILLE

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

Service hinges on safety and a lot of accountability, Federal, State, Local Rule, International Rule, covering agriculture, garbage, OSHA and EPA. First, there’s Part 91: These are Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) regulations for people who own their aircraft. Typically, these are less regulated. The second level is Part 135: The rules become more strict when an owner wishes to allow the plane to fly for hire. The third is Part 121: Used by significant airlines and requiring adherence to financial reporting and enplanement reporting and using a functional Safety Management System and validating Emergency Response Plans. At Crew, we comply with those regulations mentioned and follow IS-BAO (International Standard for Business Aircraft Operations) Stage 3 Progressive. The top certification offered by that organization and WYVERN LTD is the oldest third-party safety management group in the U.S. complying with all aspects of ICAO Annex 2 - beyond what IS-BAO does. We’ve invested time and money to ensure safety, and the more external oversight you have, the more likely you are to ensure safety compliance.

OCTOBER 2021

Can you elaborate on what IS-BAO Stage 3 certification is? It takes years of experience to achieve these levels of certification/registration; you have to prove your system. The overall process moves from reactive to proactive to predictive. As a Part 135 operator, we voluntarily subject ourselves to additional oversight by third-party entities and higher best practices and safety standards. To adhere to these standards, we are evaluated every 90 days for compliance. We look at flight quality analysis, boutique management systems, assessing equipment for failure and predict problems using analytics from an operational standpoint. If an issue arises, from donuts to airframes, we evaluate it for the root cause and ensure correction without recurrence.

What additional training do you require of your flight crew? We spend a lot of time preparing for situations that we hope never happen. We use two prominent

vendors to train our team: Flight Safety and Aircare International. Flight Safety provides bi-annual aircraft flight training to ensure ongoing pilot proficiency. Our crew members attend three to six weeks sessions to learn how to fly a particular aircraft to receive a type rating. All of our pilots hold ATP (Airline Transport Pilot) certifications. Aircare International provides aircraft cabin simulation for emergency evacuation, ditching, onboard fires, healthcare and emergency response training, including food safety training and the use of devices like EpiPens and other medical training. They offer medical briefings regarding situations on the ground. Aircare provides services that are helpful to international travelers, such as replacing a prescription or eyeglasses if a passenger forgets or loses them. We also require annual classroom training. The minimum training required is 40 hours - we do 56. The minimum requirement for continuing training is 8 hours and we do a minimum of 30, and some years we do more.

VOICE LOUISVILLE

What are your educational targets to ensure an extra level of safety is in place? We review all organizational changes and identify potential risks associated with each and the limits regarding compliance. Operational readiness spans all departments. No matter what the difference is, it goes across every department and how it could impact safety. We assign a numerical risk factor from a variety of algorithms and look at ways we can make that number lower. We are shooting for zero. The change could be major or minor: Whether we add an aircraft, a new pilot, move someone from one role to another, change a provider for fuel or even a food vendor. No matter who we’re doing

business with, we have an entire vendor evaluation process. Our team reviews all regulations weekly, ranging from flight, maintenance, OSHA regulations, environment and security. Our team receives a weekly safety newsletter, which we reincorporate into the testing of employees. Finally, everyone on our leadership team must complete the Energy Leadership Index Assessment. The ELI provides our senior leadership team with the insights on internal strengths allowing us to operate efficiently within our organization. v Crew Aviation 1176 Standiford Ave. Louisville, KY 40213 crewaviation.com 502.368.7200

Adrienne and Kris Cole.

Tell me a bit about you and your husband’s experience in the culinary industry and how that inspired Marigold Catering Co.? Chris and I have 20 plus years combined in the industry. He is a classically trained chef and has worked in some of the most prestigious restaurants in Louisville, and I have had front-of-the-house experience running restaurants like Mesh. That inspired us to establish Marigold Catering Co. in 2019. We provide restaurant-style food at the comfort of your home or your special event.

How did the pandemic affect your involvement in the community? We were able to relaunch our business in March of 2021. Fortunately, NBC Sports reached out to us because they were partnering with Ford Motor Company for a Kentucky Derby commercial. Ford wanted to support Louisville’s small businesses and discovered us. They partnered with us to help donate and deliver over 3,000 meals to the first responders at Baptist East Hospital.

What has this opportunity done for Marigold Catering Co.? We are blessed and fortunate to come out of the pandemic. Ford gave us a platform to be recognized but to also say thank you to the community. It was fitting because Ford has helped us get back on our feet and they have helped so many others get back on theirs. The day the commercial aired, we launched our mobile bar business. Marigold Catering Co. is a family business that loves to share its passion for food and drinks from a family-style buffet to a multi-course plated dinner. Enjoy their meaningful meals at any celebration. v Marigold Catering Co. 888 W Market Street Louisville, KY 40202 marigoldcateringco.com 502.439.8979 OCTOBER 2021

Science

The Mind-Body Problem By STEVE HUMPHREY

he relationship between the mind and body has been recognized as a philosophical puzzle since Rene Descartes, a 17th Century French Rationalist whose most famous contribution to Philosophy is the quote “I think, therefore I am.” The mystery can be stated thusly. We as humans are constituted out of two distinct elements. We have a physical body, made of oh too solid esh, and we have a non-physical mind, the “Ghost in the Machine,” as it were. The two are essentially related. When we prick our skin, we feel pain. When we walk through a garden, we smell flowers. When we exert our will, we can make our bodies do things, like picking flowers. But how does this happen? The body and the mind are entirely different entities. The body is physical and corporeal, and the reason is insubstantial and non-corporeal. How do my delicate and ephemeral thoughts cause my fleshy fingers to type the words you are now reading? It was discovered later that the seat of the conscious mind lies within the brain. At one time, we thought that the brain served to cool the blood, which would explain fevers. Only in the modern era did we realize that our brains consist of nerve cells, axons and neurons among them, along which electrochemical signals pass, connecting different parts of the brain in very complex ways. However, these are purely physical processes. Neurons and axons are not conscious, nor do they contain images and feelings. We call this the “The Hard Problem” in Philosophy of Mind and Neuroscience. No matter how well we think we understand the brain, we have no way of explaining our conscious experiences, our “inner life.” No form of accounting for the experience of 62

VOICE LOUISVILLE

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

smelling a rose, the glory of a sunset, the thrill of a tender caress, the taste of a pineapple, or the sound of Janis Joplin singing “Me and Bobby McGee.” Nothing in our brains smells like a rose or feels like a kiss. Even if we had a complete dictionary connecting every mental event with some neurological processes, we still could not say we understood how our mental life came to be. Philosophers have tried two different tacks. “Reductionism” is the view that mental events can be “reduced” to or defined in terms of brain events. The anti-reductionists are appalled and insulted by the idea that complex psychological states can reduce to brain states. An alternative view is called “Supervenience,” a made-up word that means that mental properties cannot exist without physical properties. It is associated with the concept of “emergentism.” Specific higher-level properties emerge out of more fundamental properties as a result of size and complexity. The atoms in our bodies are not alive, but we are, and it is hard to say just where in the scaling up life begins. Consciousness is not like pregnancy; things can be more or less conscious. My cat Olivia is certainly more aware than an earthworm, but a bit less than me (presumably, but with cats, you never know). Some, including Descartes, think that the mind is a spiritual substance, a soul, made up of the same stuff as God. But this doesn’t solve the problem. How does the soul affect the physical body? Descartes thought the causal process occurred in the pineal gland, but locating it doesn’t explain it. Another view is Pre-Established Harmony. God has created body and mind, and they work in harmony, without any causal interaction. God just set it up that way. OCTOBER 2021

Neurophysiological work in the last few decades has only deepened the mystery. By studying people who have suffered lesions or injuries to their brains, we teased apart some of the details of the process. There is a phenomenon known as “blindsight,” in which people who have suffered a particular brain trauma become blind. They can’t see a thing. But when asked to point to some object in front of them, a task they regard as ridiculous, they most often point correctly. It turns out that the optic nerves connect to several different parts of the brain. Presumably, the information captured by the retina bypasses the conscious part but is transmitted to some regions involved in pointing. This sort of thing is not limited to the blind. Our sensory apparati are constantly bombarded by stimuli. If we were conscious of all of it, we would be overwhelmed. The brain filters out most sensory stimuli, and only salient features are transmitted to consciousness. It isn’t magic or ESP if you have ever experienced déjà vu or the sudden realization that someone is watching you. It is just your brain alerting your consciousness to some piece of information that you had but of which you were not consciously aware. (Google “selective attention test” and watch the video.) A further mystery. Since the 1990s, neuroscientists have had access to fMRI (functional MRI) machines, which can see which areas of the brain are active in real-time. The fMRI allows researchers to observe what parts of the brain work when specific actions are performed. When instructed by the experimenter to lift an arm, the brain responsible for moving the arm becomes active a fraction of a second before that part of the brain which is involved in the conscious will. That is, it would seem as if moving the arm comes before willing the arm to move. So, what role is your conscious will playing? Due to Sir Roger Penrose, one theory proposes that consciousness at its root is a quantum phenomenon. I call this the “Multiplication of Mysteries.” We don’t understand consciousness, and we don’t understand quantum mechanics; maybe they are related. (Eventually, I will write a column or two on quantum mechanics. See if I don’t!) One scary conclusion from all this, which I am sympathetic to, is that we are simply meat machines, and consciousness evolved only to allow us to passively watch what is going on. Consciousness is a bystander to what is an enormously complex physical process. Consider zombies. In Philosophy, as opposed to on TV, a zombie behaves just like the rest of us but has no inner life. If the brain is doing all the work, perhaps consciousness is unnecessary, a lagniappe. And if you think about it, how do you know that anyone other than yourself experiences consciousness? You might be the only sentient creature in a world of zombies. v Steve Humphrey has a Ph.D. in the history and philosophy of science, with a specialty in the philosophy of physics. Questions?

A celebration in memory of Nicholas X. Simon Boys & Girls Haven Advocate and Board Member By JANICE CARTER LEVITCH HUMPHREY Photos provided by the organization

oys & Girls Haven is a nonprofit foster care agency that exists to shelter, heal and teach. For 70 years, they have provided a home and a future for some of Kentucky’s most vulnerable children, young adults and families. Many of them have been abandoned and abused through no fault of their own and placed in their care. The organization provides them with a home and a future to become resilient members of our community. Sue Perram.

On October 23, a celebration will be held at Rabbit Hole Distillery honoring Nicholas X. Simon, an advocate of Boys & Girls Haven and a long-time board member. VOICE Louisville spoke with his daughter, Anna Simon about the legacy of service her late father devoted to thie organization. She expressed, “My father was a very generous, intelligent and kind man. He was the best businessman, but he was always a great father and humanitarian. He loved to give back and instilled that in each of his three children, myself, Nicholas and Alex. My father was on the board of countless Louisville charities and volunteered whenever needed. He was always there for you, even if you were a stranger. Of all the charities and organizations he was involved in, I always heard him speak highly of Boys & Girls Haven. He loved the mission and all of the work father Maloney did. He was on the board for many years, and I am excited to be joining an advisory board and helping co-host our event in memory of him this month. My fiancé, Ivy Stevens and my brothers, Nicholas Simon and Alex Simon.”

Chairman of the Board, Sue Perram, shared “Every day is a success story for the children and young adults in our care. Each day is a new day of healing, learning and growing. When children arrive at Boys & Girls Haven, they are averaging 2-3 years behind school and graduation from high school is a significant challenge. In the 2020-21 school year, which was especially challenging due to the pandemic and virtual learning, Boys & Girls Haven had six young men and women graduate high school. Graduation provides benefits to the child, such as the opportunity to earn higher income and gain access to better living conditions, healthier foods and health care services. Graduation also provides benefits to the community, as it reduces the chances of homelessness and incarceration, which are significant costs to society.” v Boys & Girls Haven 2301 Goldsmith Ln.

ouisville native, Dr. Henry Sadlo, has been a prominent cardiologist in the area for over 30 years. He understands the symptoms, underlying causes and most importantly, the preventive tools of heart disease. Heart disease is the number one killer of men and women that mainly affects ages 40 to 70. Contributing problems include smoking, poor diet, diabetes and genetics. Dr. Sadlo aims to prevent these high numbers of deaths by guiding people into a healthier lifestyle by coronary calcium imaging or CAC scanning, a new concept in the Louisville area. “I spent the beginning of my career fixing hearts that had already been damaged, but I knew I wanted to end my career by preventing that,” shared Dr. Sadlo. CAC scanning is an inexpensive yet efficient way to screen for

coronary heart disease in patients. The scan detects calcified coronary artery plaque. This plaque stems from too many cholesterol particles, which build up in the walls of the arteries. The screening scores the patients between 0 to anywhere in the thousands depending on how much plaque there is. Besides the screening, Dr. Sadlo highly suggests maintaining the healthy heart diet provided by the American Heart Association while performing at least 150 minutes of aerobic activity per week. Patients can also pair this with statin therapy, the number one medication for cholesterol in the U.S. Dr. Sadlo said, “Knowing your coronary artery health early on, for most patients, will be a strong motivator for preventative cardiology.” He offers a $99 CAC screening at UofL Health to encourage our community to take this preventative step.

Dr. Kevin Chapman, Sports Psychologist in private practice

he world is starting to see more female athletes take the lead and participate in sports they never thought they’d be able to. As more opportunities have grown for women in sports, the more pressure there has been. We spoke to Dr. Kevin Chapman, Founder of the Kentucky Center for Anxiety and Related Disorders and the official sports psychologist for Louisville City FC, Racing Louisville FC, to learn more about the pressures females athletes face and how to cope with them. In general, “40 million people in the U.S. have an anxiety disorder, but only a third try treatment,” Dr. Chapman shared. He works with athletes for four to five weekly sessions by providing

each athlete with a mental routine to enhance the athlete’s performance during competition. When working with female athletes, the side pressure triggers are significantly different from male athletes; it is not just about winning. “Emotional behaviors can come from eating disorders, binging, the way they look and social media,” said Dr. Chapman. “There is more internal pressure by having to look a certain way that is not always present with men.” Dr. Chapman believes that improving your internal conflict is about being non-judgemental about your emotional experience. He also suggests creating and resighting five positive affirmation statements to say each day. “If we learn how to think flexibly as opposed to just positively, it is a great way to navigate anxiety,” he shared. drkevinchapman.com 502.618.2060

Dr. Laila Agrawal, Oncologist at Norton Cancer Institute

n honor of Breast Cancer Awareness Month, we wanted to highlight Norton Cancer Institute’s research to provide hope for people, especially women who may struggle with breast cancer now or in the future. We spoke with Dr. Laila Agrawal, a medical oncologist specializing in breast cancer at Norton, to understand why breast cancer research is essential. Common treatments for breast cancer include surgery, radiation, chemotherapy and hormonal therapy. However, Dr. Agrawal said an “enormous amount of research and new treatments are being used to help cancer patients.” Norton Cancer Institute offers clinical trials to help patients in the community. “Some are for early stages and some for people who have metastatic breast cancer, which is classified as stage four,” said Dr. Agrawal.

OCTOBER 2021

The purpose of clinical trials is to evaluate how a treatment works compared to a standard practice, which hopefully leads to new approvals of some of the treatment patients go through today. “I consider treating my patients on clinical trials because they are the best treatment and we have access to more cutting edge treatment,” said Dr. Agrawal. Recent advances in breast cancer treatment include immunotherapy and biologic therapy. Immunotherapy utilizes the body’s natural immune system to help fight cancer, implemented in early and metastatic settings. Other advances include treating people with BRCA mutations, a gene that blocks people from DNA repairs. If you or someone you know is battling cancer, Dr. Agrawal highly suggests participating in clinical trials for the sake of research and hope. “People who volunteer can help not only themselves but other people in the future who can benefit from that research,” said Dr. Agrawal. nortonhealthcare.com 502.629.4673

Find your Milestone Moment Long-term Baptist Health/ Milestone Wellness Center member expresses her gratitude for a place that, in her eyes, is more than just a gym By RACHEL PORTER | By KATHRYN HARRINGTON

erry Ely has been a member of Baptist Health / Milestone Wellness Center for over 20 years. From the Oasis Spa to the intriguing group classes, she feels there is something for everyone. We spoke with Ely to hear how the facility has impacted her own personal wellness “milestone.”

How did your journey start at Milestone? I needed to be the best version of myself. I have since retired; however, at that time, I was a critical care nurse and didn’t always have time to exercise, but I wanted to be healthy for my job. Through word of mouth, I found Milestone. Once I stepped in the door, I saw that it was not just a gym. It’s a huge facility, but manageable with an incredible staff.

What does Milestone offer that keeps you going there? Everything they offer! It’s the classes, the expertise and the friendly faces. Even the little things, too, like parking and the cafe, are easily accessible to grab a quick smoothie. Right now, I love the aquatics class. We do 72

stretching, use weights in the water and I feel so much more fluid. The music and instructors are excellent, too.

What is personal wellness to you? How has Milestone helped you to accomplish that? I think personal wellness is being your own best friend. It involves movement, good nutrition, but also not being so hard on yourself. Surrounding yourself with positive people is important, too. Milestone makes obtaining personal wellness easier, which has taught me consistency. I have been more consistent with my overall goals of staying as healthy as possible and feeling connected to like-minded people. I love the feeling I get when I leave! Everyone has their own wellness journey. Milestone helps you try new things to improve on who you are. v Baptist Health/Milestone Wellness Center 750 Cypress Station Dr. Louisville, KY 40207 baptistmilestone.com 502.896.3900

Home Trends Construction Making room for more: A home remodel built for aging in place By AMY BARNES Photos by KATHRYN HARRINGTON

hen Missy Stober and Jeff Lasell decided to renovate their cozy Copperfield home, they envisioned quality, craftsmanship and customization. They trusted Clore Construction, a local business they knew could seamlessly pull off the large-scale project. For 28 years, Owner Mark Clore has worked on full-service custom residential, light commercial construction and remodeling. Mark’s son, Geoff Clore, decided to follow in his father’s footsteps seven years ago, creating the construction powerhouse they are today. VOICE Louisville had the opportunity to interview the homeowner’s about their recent renovation.

What inspired you to renovate your current home? Missy: I wanted to create a space where we could age in one place. Our Copperfield house is the only home my kids have ever known, and my doctorate is in-home health and palliative care. I wanted to create the ability to live entirely on the first floor if we ever needed to. We have a large family with eight children, nine grandchildren and another grandchild on the way. We love to entertain! We needed to create a space that could grow with our family. Plus, we wanted to create a first-floor living space for my elderly mother. 74

OCTOBER 2021

What renovations were completed during the four-month project? Mark: We removed the existing wall, added two new 21’ structural beams to the attic to support all of the weight and doubled the size of the kitchen and dining area, the great room and the garage. The bricks were repurposed to blend the garage addition to the home. A mini-split HVAC system was added to the newly built space, along with recessed and accent lighting controlled from one convenient spot on the wall. We also re-roofed the entire home to blend the existing structures.

How did Clore Construction help bring your remodeling vision to life? Missy: Mark helped us to adjust the space to our needs. Jeff and I kept trying to design the kitchen in a U-Shape similar to its past arrangement and constrictions. Mark took a piece of paper and drew a box. He said, “there you go, now tell me what you want.” He took the time to listen to what we needed and helped us explore the room’s functionality. Mark suggested we move the pantry and expand the original doorway. He left space for coat hooks with a shoe rack by the garage door. He made room for a long kitchen island and a more spacious area for our dining room table. Jeff likes woodworking, so we needed to build a space for his workshop. Mark doubled the size of the garage then used the existing brick from the side of the house to make the addition appear seamless.

How was your overall experience with Clore Construction? Missy: I have been here a lot with the team. They’re an excellent company to work with! Everyone is friendly, responsive and they do great work.

Geoff Clore, Mark Clore, Jeff Lasell and Missy Stober.

How do you measure you professional success?

What is the working dynamic as a father and son duo?

Mark: It’s rewarding to complete these projects for our clients. I like meeting people, and I enjoy the challenge of the layout while bringing my experience together with their ideas. I find success when I can satisfy a customer because it’s inspiring to me. We get a lot of repeat business and referrals. One of the keys to success is that we use the same workforce we’ve had for years. It’s all about developing relationships. Quality is number one, and I still use the same subcontractors and teams on all of my jobs. We stay loyal to them, and they remain loyal to us. That’s what makes this thing go!

Mark: Geoff works the same with his clients as I do mine and we talk about jobs all the time. There are customers of Clore Construction I’ve never met who call him directly for more work. Geoff: I’ve always been very proud of my father. These are big shoes to fill, watching him do what he does. It’s not as much about building a business as building relationships with people. v

Kennedy Cochran, Louisville local and Assistant Cameraman on Going Nowhere.

ast year this tiny virus became a sinkhole for hope. Its gravitational pull was unparalleled in any of our lifetimes. I am lucky enough to be a member of a vibrant community of artists: painters, musicians, photographers, filmmakers. As I connected with my long-lost friends, I realized that we all were suffering from the same paralysis. What on earth should we create? And for my writer friends, what story could we possibly tell that is more dramatic than this worldwide socio-political, health and climate calamity? OCTOBER 2021

Many leaned into despair and have created beautiful pieces reflecting on isolation and stillness. I, however, felt that satire was the only way to cope. My poor penmanship and I took to the page. I decided to write a film in which all of my dearest people were parodies of themselves such as my darling friend Diana whose attention to detail is astonishing, but in the farce version, is obsessive and panicked. Or Devon, whose asexuality consistently confounds her many (many) suitors. The people I love most in the world all have vibrant personalities. What if I placed them all in a high-pressure situation? And

what is the most high-pressure situation I know personally? A film set! Going Nowhere is the product of a search for direction in 2020. It is a mockumentary in which a group of friends attempts to shoot a film during a pandemic. Every character plays a heightened version of themselves while using our real names. The team gathers to shoot a neonoir oeuvre entitled The Seed, in which the world will be saved from an apocalypse by a plant. The film is told from the perspective of Izzy’s pervy little brother who is there to take behind-the-scenes footage of Izzy’s first feature film. His ability to VO I C E -T R I B U N E . C O M |

capture the most damning and revealing moments makes the comedy zing and the audience cringe. Inspiration for the project were films such as This is Spinal Tap or television shows like The Office. Eight actors flew to Louisville, KY in early August and began work on the project. In collaboration with an astoundingly hard working local crew we filmed for seven days on a farm in Crestwood, and then moved to Old Louisville to film in my producer’s home. We made a quick pit stop at the Village 8 movie theater, for you movie lovers out there. After multiple visits to Louisville, we had heard about all of the challenges the local film community has been maneuvering since the tax incentive was eliminated several years ago. Highly skilled production designers, electricians, sound mixers, grips, and assistant camera operators all live amongst you. It was our pleasure to connect with this intimate community and have the luck to have their talent elevate my material. With the tax incentive coming

back in full swing next year, hopefully, the industry will be back to its usual capacity and these artisans will have more consistent employment opportunities. It is our goal to act as ambassadors for the city of Louisville. We have been, and intend to continue, shouting from the rooftops how wonderful our experience was in Louisville. We felt welcome and supported at every turn. Right now, we are in the post-production stage of the film where we edit, color grade, sound design and much more. The team is on track to make top festival submission deadlines. Previous films of mine have played at Sundance and South by Southwest (SXSW) and both festivals are eagerly awaiting a cut of the film. While time-wise, we are on schedule, we have yet to raise all of the funds needed to complete the film. Our post-production budget is $50,000. We have been supported by several investors local to Louisville. Others offered their farms to us, covered meals for the crew, allowed us to borrow cars. Especially generous supporters allowed actors to stay in their residence and also provided a horse for a character’s dramatic entrance. There are so many people in our community who have made this film a reality. v With gratitude, Izzy Shill Writer/ Director/ Producer/ Actor of Going Nowhere If you are interested in getting involved, reach out!

A Touch of Tranquility

Summer Eliason adds a tasteful twist to traditional home off Brownsboro Road By ELLA TREINEN Photos by KATHRYN HARRINGTON

ith modern design styles on the rise, Interior Designer Summer Eliason crossed modern and traditional elements to create a transitional atmosphere within a home off Brownsboro Road. Balancing beauty with comfort and practicality, Eliason creates a space just right for the homeowners, their two kids and their dog. The home showcases eclectic art, a pale aqua color palette and an open floor plan. “I think we especially can use a little happy right now in our color palettes. Keeping that consistent flow of colors is nice. You’re just kind of in a cocoon with this pale aqua and neutral palette,” said Eliason. This tranquil color palette first came to fruition in the dining room. The dining room serves as a perfect example of the home’s transitional style, as the homeowner’s initial dining room table and antique Murano glass Italian lamps merge with a modern turquoise glass shelf and bamboo chairs. An art lover like Eliason the homeowner, also brought some of her finds into the home. The art glass situated on top of the sideboard is a piece she purchased in Vail, which served as a source of inspiration for the room. Inspiration for many of the house’s other rooms on the first floor came from the original architecture, with high ceilings and an open floor layout. From the cozy living room sectional, you can see the dining room or look up at the second-floor overlook. A giant art piece hangs over the mantel creating a comfortable space, with colorful pillows, swivel chairs and a durable leather ottoman.

The pops of art and bright colors don’t stop on the first floor. Their daughter’s room is full of funky patterns and pieces. For an eight-year-old, this “big girl room” is a dream space. It showcases her mom’s reused headboard and nightstands, an elegant floral light fixture from Eliason’s showroom and a reupholstered glider chair from the daughter’s childhood. Some of the art on the walls Eliason created herself. “It was fun because we sort of did an HGTV thing while they were out of town and did the daughter’s room,” said Eliason. “She loved it! She said her room got ‘Summerized.’” Eliason has been working on this family’s home for a few years now and a few more things are on the agenda. Eliason is looking forward to designing the master bedroom and an outdoor pool house. The homeowner joked that Eliason might never be rid of her, as there are a few more spaces for Eliason to “Summerize” before the home is complete. v Summer Eliason Design 2846 Frankfort Ave. Louisville, KY 40206 summereliasondesign.com 502.387.9901

current-day celebrities includes rapper Jack Harlow, who even had a line about Vincenzo’s in the hit song, “What’s Poppin.” “…In the ‘Ville and I move like a don eating fettuccine at Vincenzo’s…” is the lyric in Harlow’s track. Vincenzo Gabriele says that he was both flattered and surprised to have the restaurant mentioned in the song, but he talks more about how Harlow and his parents and grandparents have been longtime guests of the restaurant. “We love when they come in, but we love when everyone comes in,” says Gabriele. “We treat everyone as if they are a guest at our family’s table.”

ow many restaurants can say they have hosted cultural icons, including Billy Joel, the late Frank Sinatra, Al Pacino, Yo-Yo Ma, Tom Brady, Sylvester Stallone, Steven Spielberg and the late Jerry Lewis? Vincenzo’s Italian Restaurant in downtown Louisville is one of the few that can declare this honor. Celebrating its 35th year as a stalwart of Louisville’s restaurant scene, Vincenzo’s continues to welcome guests, including today’s well-known celebrities, to share an authentic Italian meal. One of those

OCTOBER 2021

A native of Palermo, Italy, Vincenzo Gabriele opened Vincenzo’s in downtown Louisville in 1986. His brother, Agostino Gabriele, joined him soon after as the Executive Chef and co-owner. The brothers (who are married to sisters Pat and Joan) are very family-oriented. Almost all their respective children have worked in their restaurant at one time or another. Similarly, both Agostino and Vincenzo consider their team family. “Many of our staff have been with us for over 25 years,” says Vincenzo. Growing up in Italy, Vincenzo had his eyes set on working in the Merchant Marine in Italy, following in his father’s footsteps. Having the opportunity to move to the United States, both Vincenzo and his brother immigrated to St. Louis to begin working in the restaurant industry – at a time when neither of them spoke English. Vincenzo started his career at Tony’s, a top 10 fine-dining Italian restaurant, and Agostino opened his own restaurant in 1975 called ‘Agostino’s Little Place.’ “We knew that the U.S. was the land of opportunity, and I still say now that America is the land of opportunity,” exclaims Vincenzo. Agostino learned his passion for cooking from his mother at an impressionable age. He remembers being in the kitchen watching his mother cook and asking her lots of questions. At the age of 14, Agostino was hired as kitchen help at Rosticceria Domore in Palermo. His intense desire to learn took him to train at five restaurants over the next four years, including the internationally renowned Le Caprice in Palermo under Chef Cascino – a chef to this day he credits as his idol. OCTOBER 2021

Vincenzo says one of his father’s favorite sayings was, “the most important thing about hospitality is sincerity.” And it is this sincerity that has also extended into Vincenzo and Agostino’s love of their Louisville community. They both have supported numerous organizations over the years. A passion that is very close to their hearts is helping to feed the homeless. Each Thanksgiving, Vincenzo and Agostino make and serve over 500 meals for those who may not have access to hot meals in the cafeteria just down the street from the restaurant at the Cathedral of the Assumption. This giving back doesn’t just happen once a year. As we started this interview, Vincenzo had just packaged up a to-go box of entrees left over from the day’s lunch and took them across the street

offering them to two individuals in sleeping bags. He says that it’s something he does almost every day. Vincenzo says that he will be at the restaurant welcoming guests for as long as possible, which he hopes for many, many more years. He explains that it is his brother Agostino’s joy to cook the freshest, most authentic, gourmet Italian dishes for the restaurant’s guests. It’s his joy to ensure that everyone who walks through the restaurant’s doors feels welcome, accepted and respected. He says, “It’s our honor.” v Vincenzo’s 150 S 5th St. Louisville, KY 40202 vincenzositalianrestaurant.com 502.580.1350

Dr. Takimoto is board-certified in Obstetrics and Gynecology and in Gynecologic Oncology by the American Board of Obstetrics & Gynecology, and will provide services to women with gynecologic malignancies, along with surgical preventive services. “A gynecologic oncologist is a physician who takes care of women who have been diagnosed with cancer of the female reproductive tract. It includes cancers of the ovaries, fallopian tube, the peritoneum, uterus, cervix, vulva and vagina. Endometrial cancer is the most common gynecologic malignancy,” Dr. Takimoto explains.

Her treatment philosophy “It’s an honor to take care of patients who have cancer. I believe that knowledge is empowering, so we go over all the questions that they have regarding their particular situation. We talk about all the treatment options in detail,” she said. Because cancer can be scary, having a specialist with advanced knowledge and compassion is important.

Dr. Takimoto is accepting new patients and offers same-day/next-day appointments for urgent situations.

Home Trends Real Estate Featuring property guru Terri Bass and her take on second homes By JANICE CARTER LEVITCH HUMPHREY | Photos by TOM JENKINS

ave you noticed more of a trend for second home purchases? There is a much higher interest in second homes now. COVID forced us to live differently. We realized we could work remotely, so why not mix it up? Second-home sales rose 16% in 2020 and are up 33% through April of this year. The median price for second homes has increased from $416,100 in 2020 to $467,100. Buying second homes has become one of the fastest-growing trends in the US. More than 30 million Americans will enter the second home market within the next decade.

Who are the buyers of second homes? Many people believe second homes are just for high-net-worth or retired individuals, but that is not the case. Second-home sales are soaring, and inventory has shrunk in every price category. Buyers purchase properties in areas of the country that were not previously second home destinations but offer lifestyles different from their home base. Often, the location is within a oneday drive from their primary home. Many buyers are purchasing something

smaller now in an area they love to get a toehold in the market. This strategy leaves the buyer well-positioned to upgrade within a very competitive market eventually. “We also see folks purchasing smaller homes that can be rented short term in order to get a toehold in the community, giving them an opportunity to be in the market now without carrying the full cost of second homeownership,” Thomas Maybank, Realtor with the Ussery Group in Palmetto Bluff, SC.

What advice do you have for buyers that are interested in purchasing a second home? Speaking from personal experience, I strongly suggest working with a Realtor with success and experience in the market. Earlier this year, we decided to begin a search for a second home in South Carolina. I arranged for a knowledgeable Realtor to work with at each destination. They sent us information and properties ahead of our visit and then spent a day showing us the area and prospective

homes. Having someone who knows the area well, your requirements, “must-haves,” and budget gives you the knowledge to make the right decision. We ended up finding our retreat in Palmetto Bluff, a community built within a 20,000-acre residential and recreational preserve. Our Realtor, Thomas Maybank, has been involved in 65% of the transactions there this year. His knowledge of the current inventory, sales history and what was coming on the market gave us the advantage needed to locate and purchase our second home in a very tight market. Since then, I’ve referred two Louisville clients to him, and one has already found their perfect getaway. We have connections with top Realtors in most cities across the US and worldwide because of Sotheby’s network and through our clients who have moved to Louisville from other towns. This year alone, we have assisted four Louisville clients with second home referrals. We are always happy to find the best-qualified Realtor in any city and make that referral for our clients.

What interior design trends are you seeing in second homes? Second homes should give you a feeling of being removed from everyday life, a welcomed retreat. Décor plays a significant role in creating that feeling. The location invites homeowners to take advantage of different design styles than they’ve used in their primary home; mountainous areas do well with rustic looks, beaches and a low country trend toward coastal styles. Homeowners have fun using design and color that is harmonious with the surrounding area while adding in some of their personal preferences or furnishings that they can’t do without. We are undoubtedly enjoying furnishing our vacation home, inspired by the beautiful nature preserve that surrounds us. Still, we’re also integrating a few well-loved antiques and rugs that make it feel like a home away from home. v Lenihan Sotheby’s International Reality Terri Bass + Shelly & Bradley Brindardner 3803 Brownsboro Road Louisville, KY 40207 tbass@lsir.com 502.424.8463

Support in the Line of Duty Providing back up to the men and women in blue

Rebecca Grignon-Reker, knows and cares for Louisville’s police family from the inside out. Rebecca was formerly married to LMPD Officer Peter Grignon, who died in the line of duty in 2005, the same year LMPF was born. She couldn’t have anticipated the large family of police Peter would leave behind. Just as they’ve supported her, she gives back to them daily at the Foundation. LMPF has an Officer in Distress Fund, which provides direct financial support

when disaster strikes either inside or outside the line of duty. LMPF also provides assistance to fund additional training that officers would otherwise pay for out of pocket. Disaster or not, LMPF is ready with unwavering support. LMPF is currently working with the LMPD to develop a comprehensive wellness program. The program will address officers’ mental, physical and spiritual health, ensuring that they can be their best. The Foundation also has a mental health grant, allowing funds that assist

officers with counseling when the job strain starts to creep in. “When an officer shows up, it’s not your best day,” said Grignon-Reker. “They have to come and break bad news and mediate domestics, or they’re pulling you over to give you a ticket. They are constantly dealing with negativity.” LMPF also gives officers opportunities to help people in the community and grow a positive relationship with those they protect. Each year, the Foundation holds

its Boots, Badges and Bids event. Leading citizens of Louisville gather to raise funds for the LMPD. Some of the funds go towards LMPF’s Shop With A Cop program. Officers go out and shop for a family in need and even play Santa’s close friends from time to time. LMPF helps officers help us, and if you’re wondering how you can show your gratitude, Grignon-Reker has a couple of suggestions. While donations to the LMPD do the work LMPF does possible, Grignon-Reker

reminds us never to underestimate the power of a simple thank you or a smile. For more information about LMPF’s many fundraising events and programs, visit their website. v Louisville Metro Police Foundation 982 Eastern Parkway Louisville, KY 40217 saferlouisville.org 502.409.9LMF (563)

Supernatural America: The Paranormal in American Art

Speed Art Museum lifts the spiritual veil through their upcoming exhibition that is guaranted to send chills down your spine By MELISSA CHIPMAN | Photos provided by SPEED ART MUSEUM

ld Louisville is known as one of the most haunted neighborhoods in America, a fact that helped the Speed Art Museum win the chance to host the Minneapolis Institute of Art’s exhibit, Supernatural America: The Paranormal in American Art, starting just before Halloween. This major 104

exhibition will travel to only two other venues, including the Speed. “Several American cities were interested in the exhibition, and being able to promote Louisville’s long history with, and attraction to, supernatural activities helped us secure the show,” Erika HolmquistWall, The Speed’s Curator of Painting and Sculpture, told VOICE Louisville. “I knew we had an audience who would welcome

the subject matter and engage with the questions that the show raises.” The exhibit spans the early 19th century through the present. Supernatural America includes over 220 objects from paintings, drawings, photographs to videos, scientific instruments and occult paraphernalia, including a “Mystic Answer Board,” a sort of Ouija board from the 1940s. Works include artifacts of Native American OCTOBER 2021

“I noticed the community’s interest in the supernatural and paranormal during my first Halloween season here, about six years ago,” explained Holmquist-Wall. “It was a happy surprise to find out that Louisvillians are open to the weird and unexplained. There is a cultural preoccupation in the region that you most definitely do not necessarily find in other parts of the US.” “There is an entire section of the exhibition devoted to the concept of ‘America as a Haunted Place,’ and with our deep, long, often-difficult state history, there are lots of stories to unearth. I was also thrilled to discover that Kentucky is one of the most active places in the US for UFO reportage.” The exhibit includes Untitled (Flying Saucers with Snakes) (1933) by the late painter Macena Barton (1901-1986), a landscape of mountains and volcanoes of people’s faces in repose rising from a firelit sea under a sky filled with iconic flying saucers and snakes.

John Jota Leaños’s (1969-) Destinies Manifest (2017) is an installation that animates John Gast’s iconic painting American Progress. Considered the “Manifest Destiny” painting, American Progress features White American Settler ideology and the common belief of the inevitability of westward expansion. Leaños’s work reimagines Manifest Destiny from Indigenous and Mestizx perspectives and challenges Settlers’ beliefs that the land, being occupied and civilized, was “unoccupied land.” Leaños crowds his western landscape with indigenous people, native spiritual iconography, flora and fauna of the American West, angels, cartoonish UFOs and more until it blooms into modern America encased in concrete and bounded by interstates and Trump’s wall. According to the artist, “The animation also pays homage to nonhuman ancestors who have kept the land for generations as well as to the network of Native communities who continue to inspire decolonial movements globally, such as Idle No More, The Defenders of the Land and the Zapatistas.” Holmquist-Wall said that the exhibit helps to expand the canon of American artists to include those that were previously historically excluded. “While our belief systems and experiences are different, the fascination with the otherworldly

and a curiosity about the supernatural bind us in ways we’re still discovering.” This exhibition will open to the public on October 8, with a preview opening for Speed membersand supporters on October 7.

There’s really no reason to keep living with pain when modern methods make recovery so fast and so much less painful. We have seniors who get partial or complete hip replacements and are up and walking just hours after their surgery.” - Dr. Clegg

“I GOT WORLD-CLASS CARE EVERY DAY, AND GOT TO COME HOME EVERY NIGHT.” – Kim Pinnick, Cancer Success Story

When Kim Pinnick was diagnosed with cancer, she wanted the best possible care. Fortunately, she found it close to home – at Baptist Health Floyd and Baptist Health Louisville. Her team developed a treatment plan that allowed Kim to keep a regular routine. “I was able to come home after treatment,” she says, “sleep in my own bed and still get amazing care.” Today, Kim is in remission and enjoying life. But she will always be grateful for the care she received. “My journey showed me that I can be strong,” Kim says. “With Baptist, I didn’t have to be by myself on that journey.” Visit BaptistHealth.com/CancerRisk to learn more about your risk for cancer and see which screenings may be right for you.

The Top 4 Reasons to Choose Independent Living Our experts at The Grand Senior Living will put you on the path to carefree independence

ot all senior living is created equal, and not all aging adults require health care services. Sometimes, you simply need a new lifestyle built around services and amenities designed to keep you as independent as possible, making life easier and more convenient. That’s independent living. Here are the reasons why this carefree lifestyle option may be perfect for you. 1. No Home Maintenance, More Time for Fun Owning a house is not only a hassle but also expensive. Independent Living frees you from the burden of private homeownership, providing a beautiful, spacious new home where everything is maintained by the senior living community: housekeeping and laundry services, all-inclusive utilities, residences

with modern kitchens and designer finishes, and more. No worries here! 2. Daily Social Activities for an Engaged Life Now that you have all this free time, let’s have some fun! Independent Living communities should have an activity calendar full of interesting daily opportunities. Social clubs, arts and culture, day trips, fitness programs, and outdoor activities are just a few of the numerous ways a resident can stay active and make new friends. 3. Convenience at Your Doorstep with On-site Amenities A truly special community provides on-site services and amenities, creating a resort-like lifestyle for its residents: Full-service salon; a fitness center and indoor pool; beautifully landscaped outdoor spaces featuring gardens,

putting greens, walking trails, and more. And don’t forget about the food. Look for a community such as The Grand Senior Living with a chef-prepared dining program featuring deliciously fresh, daily meals. You will be able to join your friends in the community’s restaurant-style dining room, casual bistro, or pub and wine bar, toasting your newfound carefree lifestyle. 4. Additional Help and Service When You Need It An independent living lifestyle is one of convenience and freedom. However, sometimes you may find yourself needing a little extra help. By choosing a community, such as The Grand Senior Living, that provides additional lifestyle options like personal care, you will be ready for extra care services if you should one day need them.
