Beautiful Vista Views in a Premier Location 5631 Wolf Ridge Road $1,550,000 Gracefully situated on 5 acres of lushly landscaped property off Wolf Pen Branch Rd. The architect designed this full stone home to capture the beauty of the woodlands and beautiful vista views across the river. From the back you’ll find floor to ceiling windows offering expansive, light-filled rooms, all offering uninterrupted scenes of nature all the way to Indiana!

The result is a home that boasts remarkable masonry work from locally milled stone, 10’ ceilings, quality workmanship, gleaming hardwood floors and covered Blue Stone terraces. Equipped with a newly installed wood paneled elevator, this impressive 7,300+ sq ft home offers 5 bedrooms, 4 ½ bathrooms. Wolf Ridge sits on a bluff, with the property running down to Harrods Creek.

elcome to the June issue, which delivers an abundance of luminous talent that includes one very special Louisvillian gracing the cover. We constantly strive for an innovative approach bringing you only the most effervescent personalities that are homegrown. Meet our cover star, Founder and President of Bourbon Barrel Foods, Matt Jamie. With the good looks of Robert Redford and Leonardo DiCaprio smashed together, we discovered he is as humble as he is handsome. Jamie established BBF in 2006 as the only soy microbrewery in the United States. Skip ahead to 2012 when BBF partnered with Woodford Reserve to create a cocktail and culinary line. Entrepreneurship at its finest continued to 2022. Jamie has swiftly built his business on the simple concept only the best will do. Using bourbon barrels as an aging vessel for the soy sauce crafted with care in small batches, the company has expanded to other products as well. Everything is a delight to the senses and palate, from serving trays made from bourbon barrels to a variety of gift boxes to bourbon smoked spices in a horseshoe-shaped basket. Make your way over to his Frankfort Avenue location and check it out for yourself. #eatyourbourbon I have to admit, until a couple of months ago, I had no idea who Jack Harlow was. Neither did most of the music industry 16

until he released several EPs and mixtapes back in 2015. Known as a rapper, Harlow is included in our Derby Wrapup society pages for this issue that is being distributed around our fine community. What I admire most about Harlow is his tenacity. Well, also his wardrobe, I want to meet the person who selects what he wears. I’d like to think I’m a bit of a fashion snob, you know, never following trends and only choosing to wear what works best for me. I’ve noticed that Harlow presents himself in a sophisticated manner, seemingly polite and outfitted in what looks like a suit freshly cut and shipped directly from Savile Row in London, England. Sorta like freedom of speech, except it’s all about fabric and color plus an exceptional tailoring detail that borders on couture elegance. Thank you, Jack Harlow, for inspiring the myriad of singer-songwriters and showing them that the impossible is possible. Check out his new release, Come Home the Kids Miss You. Cheers,

Letter from the

Editor

s it turns out, the sun doesn’t always shine bright on our old Kentucky home, but a few scattered showers and a cooling breeze didn’t stop us from celebrating the most exciting two minutes in sports. However, when the spray tans slowly dissolve, the perfectly polished manicures begin to chip away, and the blisters begin to set in is when my team lines up at the starting gate. I’m delighted to present to you our wrap-up for Derby 148, containing the most significant events over the past few weeks, along with coverage from Thurby, Kentucky Oaks and the Kentucky Derby. Be sure to check out voice-tribune.com for hundreds of additional photos from the past month. I must applaud the tenacity and grit of our photographers who worked from dusk to dawn and around the clock in some cases. Showing up with a camera in hand in every corner of the city to capture all the exciting happenings of the season without skipping a beat to meet the deadline. Even though we could easily fill the pages of our June issue with all things Derby, this issue highlights Outdoor Living, Food & Drink and our Summer Wedding Fashion Editorial. Throughout this issue, you will find the breathtaking feature of the Hartley Botanic Greenhouse at Ashbourne Farms. As we dip our toe into Lexington, Elizabeth Scinta spoke with Cooper Vaughn of The Apiary and their themed dinner series. Sarah Carter Levitch shares the story behind the

In Kentucky, not many things go together better than bourbon and food. We had a chance to hang out with Matt Jamie of Bourbon Barrel Foods for this month’s cover to play around with their food and drink offerings…literally. Have you ever considered the technique of throwing a glass to make a picturesque bourbon splash? It’s more of a method than I think it looks like. So much so, in fact, that we subbed in soda to get the correct color and viscosity that shows up best for a photo. That begs the question, how many swirls does it take to get the perfect throw? I can’t be sure, but at least a minimum of 50 and maybe just because it’s fun. The entire team had to get involved when we started to shoot the soybeans. It takes at least two people, as we found, a couple pounds of beans and a few step ladders to perfectly rain down soy for the best shot. Did you know Bourbon Barrel Foods has a line of specialty soy sauce right here in Louisville? So delicious, and we were lucky that Matt and Emily brought so many for us to try.

JUNE 2022

I love our team, and we love our community. It’s what makes writing behind the cover awesome. Each month is a new story, a new person we all get to know a little bit better and some quality time with some of the best creatives in town. We even had our graphic designer out helping throw soy. So, if you are ever finding yourself curious about what goes into the covers, you can always find a line or two on it here, but you can be sure it’s always a recipe of creativity, mutual respect and a lot of silliness. Summer is here, and Kentucky is booming. What an amazing time for new growth and the changing of another season. We hope you find all the food and drink your heart and belly could desire in this issue. We are forever grateful to all the fantastic partners we get to call friends, those we just met and the good times we have collaborating with them. Another month, another chapter. Cheers to the journey! Craft it well, Dana Darley Daily

commit to developing the space. Once the doors opened and I started meeting the neighbors (which was one-third of the business), I felt the area’s warmth. Every new person I met became a part of the bar. It was and still is like family.

What makes Mary such an integral part of the business? I had known Mary since she worked at Jeff Ruby’s years ago and followed her to other establishments as a regular. I was immediately impressed with her ability to always Mary Ragsdale and Joe Daily. carry a smile and make me feel like I was her number one customer. The thing was, she made everyone feel elcome everyone, and thanks for joining us this month for Daily Libations! This that way. When the opportunity came available at Taj, I pracmonth, I chatted with the owner Todd tically begged her to take the position. One night after she had Moore and operator Mary Ragsdale of Taj. given notice at her old job, a group of us offered her $2,000 Not only one of my best buds but also a to leave. You could say that she was not given a very pleasant long-time bar operator in Louisville, Kentucky. Mary is one of sendoff, and it’s the first time I saw her not smile. Mary being the hardest working people I know and one of the best operators the loyal person that she is, said no. She gave her word she hospitality-wise in the city. She is one of the fastest bartend- would stay until her exit date. Mary has brought the bar to ers in the city by far. It’s enjoyable to sit back and watch her a spot where people feel comfortable and part of the family. I work. It is impressive! It takes years of high-volume experience don’t know what I would do if I came to the Taj and didn’t hear to reach that level of speed and eﬃciency. So let’s put Todd and “Where’s Mary?” Mary in the hot seat and get to know them and the Taj crew a Mary, what makes Taj such a staple in the community? little more! Taj is a staple in the neighborhood for our unique decor, our Todd, what do you love about being part of famous $8 Old Fashioned, a massive bourbon list and our specthe NuLu community and owning Taj? tacular, one-of-a-kind staff. From the outside of our building, Initially, I was skeptical of the NuLu area before opening the it is hard to tell that we are a bar. People are drawn to our alleybar. I had frequented the area in the past to drop off food at way by playing New Orleans-style jazz music. Once people are the Wayside Mission across the street.

decor, which is a mix of scenery from the building before it was Taj, mixed with some cool industrial metal work done by our owner, Todd Moore. Our bar stools are definitely everyone’s favorite part of Taj. People go crazy over them! We feature our famous $8 Old Fashioned every day. Mixed with bourbon, house-made bitters and demerara syrup, finished off with an orange peel. Some of our staff have been with Taj since day one, and that says a lot about the bar and the regulars that visit. Our bartenders genuinely have a passion for what they do. They love making cocktails and continuing their education to learn about spirits and bourbon. Taj is very blessed to have a staff that truly cares about the bar and our guests. I have a lot of talent behind our bar.

Mary, you’re a known face in the business. What have you most enjoyed about being a part of the growing NuLu and Louisville community? I’ve enjoyed watching the neighborhood grow. We have a new hotel, restaurant, shop, or bar popping up every few months. It’s great seeing the community thrive with all of the out-of-town visitors and locals coming down to check NuLu out. It’s nice to see the street so busy after the pandemic. We are busier than ever, and I see those numbers improving as time goes on.

So Taj is known for its “concerts” any fun story about how a neighborhood bar became known for having the best karaoke in town? Our karaoke night has become one of our best and most fun nights of the week. We have a few regulars that help make that possible. Mark Palmer is one of them. I jokingly call it his concert night. He always gets the crowd going, wearing a one-of-akind suit, fancy shoes and singing while holding a cigar at the same time. Right now, every male on our staff also sings. You may see Kevin or Chris slinging drinks while holding the microphone. And I must say, they all have some talent. It’s a little off-putting when you think about karaoke at a bar. But at Taj, most people who sign up to sing are good. We’ve even had some people from the TV show THE VOICE pop in. You definitely won’t catch me up there, though. Karaoke is every Thursday from 10 p.m. to 2 a.m. on our back patio.

CoCo has become quite the bar dog! You can usually catch her in her dog bed at the end of the bar. However, she now knows every regular and will usually give them a light bark to say hello to her before they can order their drink ha-ha!

enjoyed getting to know all the neighborhood dogs, like Bingo, Dali and Brewster. And you can’t forget about Mike Maloney’s yellow labs, Jager and Meister. You can usually catch them with their noses sticking out of our front gate before we open for business.

Taj is a must-see for tourists if they want a truly local experience. What fun fact should a tourist know about Taj that might not be obvious just by visiting? Some fun facts about Taj… • The inside bar used to be our property owner’s (Mike Maloney) living room • Taj’s chandelier was created from the old front door of his house • The urinals were created from old beer kegs • We are part of the Urban Bourbon Trail • Our draft tap handles are of the Louisville skyline • We are Dog friendly (inside and out) all year long • We don’t serve food, but you can bring your own or have it delivered

Mary Ragsdale and Joe Daily.

• We love baby goats; we have many events where you can even hold one • We love Jägermeister • You’ll catch our bartender Kevin lighting some drinks on fire and if Lizzie is working, she always plays the best music

My favorite Taj drink is the oh-so-fancy champagne of beers and a shot with the team there. What would you tell the readers is your favorite drink for the summer? My go-to drink is a shot of Ketel One Peach & Orange Botanicals or Titos and water with two lemons.

How about the Taj Old Fashioned Recipe? $8 Old Fashioned recipe • 2oz Bourbon • Bar spoon full of our house-made bitters • Bar spoon full of our Demerara Syrup • Served in a glass over ice, stirred to perfection and finished off with a fresh orange peel around the rim of the glass Guys, thank you both for your time and for giving us a little insight into the world of Taj. I will probably see you both a little later in the week, I’m sure. Until next time, Cheers! Joe

he sound of ocean waves, tree frogs croaking in the distance, the smell of a campfire, fireflies dancing along a mountain meadow to the music of an outdoor concert, and the satisfaction of marking off another world-ranked golf course from your list. The memories of summer are waiting to be created! In days gone by, a stop at Stuckey’s or a trip to any domestic or international destination was not complete without spinning the postcard display. The beautiful scenery not captured by a Kodachrome camera and overly campy subjects frolicking on the beach were must-haves for a scrapbook or send to family and friends to let them know of your spectacular travel adventures. Today, the options for spectacular outdoor adventures begin with Crew Aviation. Time is a precious commodity in today’s world. Very few busy families and business executives have days to spend driving to the beach or a mountain getaway. School breaks are shorter, TSA lines and commercial airline flight delays are more prolonged, yet the search for adventure and quest for a lifelong memory is still desired by many. Flying privately with Crew Aviation allows you JUNE 2022

to skip the TSA lines and most flight delays. If the weather conditions are not favorable or a situation is unsafe, we may also have delays, but our passengers are more in control of their vacations and outdoor adventures. Headed to surf in the Outer Banks? Bring your surfboard along and know that it will not be damaged along the way. Maybe water skiing is more your speed on Lake Michigan. Our aircraft have plenty of room for your equipment without the hassle of checking or shipping your needed supplies ahead. Of course, there is always room for the pool noodles, sand toys and buckets, and a giant floating flamingo or rainbow unicorn to come along. Outdoor movies become a memorable experience when you pack an old-fashioned English picnic basket filled with beautiful crystal and china, along with a bottle of bubbly. Just do not pack that luxury picnic basket on a commercial flight, or you may end up with pieces of memories and a takeaway box from the nearest fast-food restaurant.

Hollywood Forever Cemetery Movie Screenings. Perhaps outdoor concerts are more to your liking, and you are seeking a truly memorable experience. Crew Aviation can take you to Dalhalla, Sweden, to experience a live show near Rattvik. The natural amphitheater was formed 360 million years ago by the same meteorite that formed Lake Siljan. With vertical rock walls, echo-free sounds, and near-perfect acoustics, it has hosted some of the greatest legends in music. However, traveling to this one-of-a-kind concert venue is not possible on commercial airlines. Crew’s aircraft can take you directly to Mora–Siljan Airport, 21 miles from the venue, saving the four-hour car ride taken by other concertgoers. Théâtre Antique D’Orange in Provence, France, is another venue worth the trip. Augustus, the First Roman Emperor, built a 2,000-year-old UNESCO World Heritage Site. Today, the Roman Theatre of Orange hosts concerts, theatrical performances, and the yearly summer opera festival, Les Chorégies. While taking in a concert at Slane Castle, Ireland, you can pick up a bottle or two of Slane Castle’s signature triple-casked Irish Whisky. This 18th-century castle overlooking the River Boyne has hosted rock and roll greats David Bowie, Bruce Springsteen, Bob Dylan, The Rolling Stones, Neil Young, Guns N’ Roses, Red Hot Chili Peppers, and of course, U2. The Irish Rock legends assumed residence at Slane Castle to write and record their

album, The Unforgettable Fire. If you want to bring back a case of Irish Whisky to go with your stock of Kentucky Bourbon, you will want to fly with Crew to make sure your cargo arrives safe and sound. And since you are traveling on a private jet while in Ireland, you must book a few tee times for golf on some of the most beautiful emerald green courses in the world. Founded in 1893, Ballybunion Golf Club in County Kerry is one of the finest seaside courses ever played by professional and amateur players. However, if you are as close as Ireland and love the game, you cannot go home without a stop at the birthplace of golf—the Old Course at St. Andrews in Scotland. When you travel with Crew Aviation, we help you plan your journey to maximize your time and create lasting memories all along the way.

The Galt House Hotel

Offering travelers the best of the city’s vibrance and the unique spirit of the Kentucky Derby By SKIP JAMES

Photos provided by THE GALT HOUSE HOTEL

ouisville’s landmark waterfront property, The Galt House Hotel, welcomed thousands of locals and visitors alike this year for an unforgettable Derby experience. At the center of the liveliness of Downtown Louisville, the hotel provided special activations and programming for this year’s 148th Annual Kentucky Derby. Primely positioned in the central hub of Louisville; the Galt House allowed travelers to revel in the best of the city’s vibrance and the unique spirit of the Kentucky Derby. As the official kickoff to the weekend, the No. 6 NASCAR Series Ford Mustang made its grand arrival in Louisville, where it was on display at The Galt House Hotel throughout Derby Weekend. On Thursday, May 5, the car coasted from River Road to Fourth Street to arrive at the East Tower of The Galt House entrance. As a part of the Trademark Collection by Wyndham, and was among the first to display the car’s fresh new Wyndham Rewards paint scheme for 2022. The car’s arrival was the official kickoff to the hotel’s exciting slate of programming lined up for the weekend, beginning with the Call to Post Welcome Reception. The reception was a jubilant celebration complete with complimentary hors d’oeuvres, beer, wine, plus custom keepsakes and memories to last a lifetime. The cocktail hour was complemented by unique derby activities such as bowtie and cigar station, Jockey meet & greet, live entertainment and more. The quintessentially Southern fashion brand Draper James also hosted a pop-up shop on property for guests to take home their very own piece of iconic derby style. From floral spring dresses and sun hats to colorful accessories, Draper James offers a contemporary yet timeless Southern style perfect for the festivities. Paying homage to Louisville’s culinary excellence, The Galt House also offered distinct dining and tasting experiences in their celebrated bar and restaurant concepts.

In addition, derby guests got to enjoy the newly debuted Veranda lobby bar for cocktails and hand-selected wines. The beautiful Veranda lobby bar is now open just in time for summer to enjoy a fine selection of bourbon, wine, hand-crafted cocktails accompanied by cheese and charcuterie boards and a myriad of delicious bites. The Veranda is open Thursday through Saturday from 3 p.m. to 11 p.m. With a vibrant atmosphere complemented by an impressive selection of refreshing libations, the Veranda bar joins the impressive on-property bars to serve as Louisville’s newest social hub and buzzy gathering space.

Sip Your Bourbon & Eat It Too Featuring the brains behind Bourbon Barrel Foods, Matt Jamie

By EMILY KANIASTY | Photos by CHRIS WITZKE

hree and a half years ago, Matt Jamie, the entrepreneur behind the brand Bourbon Barrel Foods, made a life change that has allowed him to grow as much as his business has. His company, which he founded in 2006, has seen nothing but growth since the very beginning. His idea for Bourbon Barrel Foods began in the early 2000s when Jamie was in his early 30s. “I wanted to do something interesting,” he says. Jamie admittedly had trouble finding his career path. He worked in restaurants, had a series of part-time jobs and attempted grad school, studying exercise physiology before discovering a passion for developing food and flavors. He fixated on aging soy sauce in repurposed bourbon barrels, drawing parallels between the distilling and aging of bourbon in Kentucky and the brewing and aging of soy sauce in Japan. Publicity for the Kentucky-based soy sauce brewery was in no short order. The New York Times, The Today Show, Food & Wine and countless other media outlets (domestic and international) have featured Bourbon Barrel Foods. The buzz was always there, as was the quality of the products. From the beginning,

VOICE LOUISVILLE

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

Bourbon Barrel Foods was on its way to becoming the gourmet-foods component of our modern-day Bourbon Country. After nearly 17 years in business, Bourbon Barrel Foods has evolved into a lifestyle brand that exemplifies the culture and easy living of Kentucky’s Bourbon Country. Growth seemed easy and came naturally. Almost too easy and, at times, seemingly outpacing Jamie’s personal development. “Our growth trajectory has not been a steep climb over a few years. Rather, it was a slow and steady progression over the last 17 years. Bourbon Barrel Foods is strong, always growing,” Jamie says. “I wanted the same for me.” In 2018, Jamie quit drinking. At the time of this story, he has been sober for 41 months, and in that time, he has grown. “These two things are not mutually exclusive: 1.) The success of my company, and 2.) My personal growth –– one doesn’t happen without the other,” he says. Over the past several years, Jamie says, “I’ve been learning how to live a life with principle, learning how to deal with life on life’s terms. I’ve decluttered and simplified my life. I’m learning how to live a life with purpose.”

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

VOICE LOUISVILLE

Jamie’s life now revolves around a few ideas: gratitude, selfcare, accountability and balance. He leads a simplified life and understands the difference between needs and wants. He says, “I used to focus on what I didn’t have rather than what I had. I had to understand gratitude to know how grateful I was. It’s the simple things in life that I didn’t acknowledge because I was so used to having them.” He applied these fundamentals to his work and personal life. “These practices have made me better. They’ve made Bourbon Barrel Foods better,” he says. “I have a routine in the morning that helps set me up for the day to be the best version of me. My routine involves reading and writing, exercising and eating properly, meditation and prayer. I have two teenagers at home, my son leaves for college 46

VOICE LOUISVILLE

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

this summer, and my daughter will enter her senior year of high school this fall. These years are important, and my routine allows me to show up with a sound mind and be present for my family.” At work, Jamie oversees about 40 employees who depend on him to make decisions, solve problems and grow the company. “My job every day is to lead my team at Bourbon Barrel Foods and make it a place where they, too, can grow and flourish. My daily practices have given me the ability to have an understanding of gratitude, accountability and tolerance. People look to me for leadership, but I had to learn how to lead first. “I gave up control to get some control back if that makes sense,” he says. “My team knows when to involve me, and I trust them. I know my limitations and where I am valuable, which comes JUNE 2022

with knowing myself better. Understanding and knowing who I am and my strengths and weaknesses is freeing.” Over the past couple of years, Jamie oversaw a complete renovation of Bourbon Barrel Foods’ Butchertown warehouse, increasing it from 8,000 square feet to 21,000. The section for brewing soy sauce expanded to house 20 300-gallon tanks, which will increase production by more than 500 percent. He added a smokehouse with six smokers, each one the size of a Ford F-150, with room for six more. “We couldn’t meet the demand for our soy sauce and smoked spices with the existing production capabilities. We needed to be able to grow our core product line,” Jamie says. “When the space became available, I intuitively knew that this is what we needed to do — it was a no-brainer. I’ve never turned down the opportunity to grow the business.” Jamie keeps big notepads in his office with goals and product launches each year. He crosses off what he has accomplished and circles what he hasn’t. “I’m still moving projects I didn’t accomplish from 2019 to 2022. I don’t stress about deadlines so much, which drives my team crazy. I firmly believe that things, and projects, will happen in their own time when they are ready to happen. It’s been a great practice in my life, and it has minimized the stress that work can cause. I realize this may not work for everyone, but if you don’t need a deadline, then why have one? It’s a luxury, but it’s one I’ve worked for.” “Every year feels like I’m starting over, and I love it. It’s what drives me,” he continues. “Putting new products on the market every year keeps us interesting. One of the more exciting projects I have circled is the acquisition of a brand tied to Louisville’s food history. People will definitely recognize it when we launch.” What satisfies Jamie outside of his business is making a home, spending time with

JUNE 2022

his kids, cooking, finding new restaurants, meeting new people, traveling and mentoring. “Life used to be complicated because I wanted more all the time,” he says, “and now I focus on what actually matters: my kids, parents, my employees, my house, my friends and my spirituality. All of this grounds me outside the office, which makes me a better leader when I’m in the office.” And looking forward, Jamie continues to see nothing but growth. “For the company and for me,” he says. “I don’t have an exit strategy and don’t feel like I need one. This company feeds my soul way too much. From all the work I’ve done outside of the business, I realize that now more than anything.”

Adorn Louisville Bridal Shop

Getting to know the NuLu based bridal boutique that specializes in customization and self-expression By SARAH CARTER LEVITCH | Photos by MADISON ARNOLD

stablished in 2015 in Nashville, Tennessee, Adorn Bridal recently opened its doors to the Louisville community in January 2022. We spoke with the owner Jennie Dickens and the Louisville store manager Bethany Hogsett to get to know Adorn and learn about some recent wedding dress trends.

VOICE LOUISVILLE

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

Tell me about Adorn and how you all ended up in Louisville.

because we felt we could better service a Louisville bride.

Jennie: We were getting a lot of Louisville brides in our Nashville store, which is fabulous, but we realized that what we do is unique. Our stylists are true stylists. They work with a bride to customize a dress in conjunction with a seamstress. We decided to go to Louisville

What is the experience like at Adorn Louisville? Bethany: Overall, the experience is exactly what you’d get in Nashville. The team is trained the same way, but the NuLu store in Louisville has its own heart JUNE 2022

and voice. As we opened, we figured out who our Louisville bride was. I joke about the saying, “keep Louisville weird.” We know that the Louisville bride is a little bit funky. We found that the brides here still love timeless looks, but they make it personal with accessories. Jennie: The building we’re at in NuLu is 150 years old. It has an urban industrial vibe, so it doesn’t feel stuffy or old school. It’s very fresh and fun.

What dress styles have you all seen trending recently? Jennie: We’ve seen a lot of sleeves. Bethany: That is true! They’re back and better than ever. Jennie: Another thing we’re finding is that not every sleeve on a dress will enable you to have as much fun at your reception as you want. A dress that is off the shoulder doesn’t allow you to get down and party because they keep you tight. We have a seamstress make the sleeves detachable or attached with an elastic so that when the bride wants to dance, she can move better. When we get to know our brides and what they really want from their whole wedding, we can take the customization a step further.

What distinguishes Adorn from other bridal boutiques? Bethany: The customization and the experience. Before our brides come in, we get to know who they are, not just their style. We want to know about their relationship, their love story and how

JUNE 2022

they want to feel when they get married. Through COVID, more brides have been saying they want their wedding to be fun and express who they are. The root reason we offer customization is both for stylization and creativity and so that every bride can fully lean into who they are. That’s why what we do doesn’t get old. It’s different every time. It’s like when you’re meeting a new friend and getting to know them. Jennie: Every bride is unique, and what we do is so natural. We don’t train salespeople; we have stylists who guide the bride to her dress. This is all about finding the right dress for the bride. We don’t have a set process or program. I chose the name Adorn because it means to enhance beauty. We believe every bride is beautiful, and her dress should enhance her innate beauty. v Adorn Louisville Bridal Shop 629 E Market St. Louisville, KY 40202 502.805.1533 adornbridal.com/adornlouisville

isa Meredith, a Certified Surgical First Assistant (CSFA) and Dr. M. Bradley Calobrace, MD, make sure their patients leave CaloAesthetics® Plastic Surgery Center with confidence and a smile. In celebration of their 25 years of practice, I spoke with Meredith to learn more about her role and time at CaloAesthetics®.

How has your journey led you to where you are now? I used to watch a TV program called “M*A*S*H.” The camaraderie I saw in the operating room initially led me to become a surgical technologist. After that, I became a surgical assistant and worked for a hospital in downtown Louisville for ten years. I began helping Dr. Calobrace with his cases when he started working at the facility. When he opened CaloAesthetics®, I worked part-time there and at the hospital. Then in September 1997, I started full-time at CaloAesthetics®. Dr. Calobrace is JUNE 2022

kind, compassionate, understanding and easy to work for. In addition, he performs excellent plastic cosmetic surgery, so it was easy to switch from the hospital to CaloAesthetics®.

What does a day in the life of a CSFA look like? I start early, around 6 a.m. I work on paperwork, order implants and garments and assess inventory; I’m also the coordinator for assignments for Dr. Calobrace and Dr. Mays. After that, we usually start surgery at 8 a.m. Procedures can take an hour or five hours, depending on the day. On Tuesdays and Thursdays, I work a 12-hour day, and on Mondays and Fridays, they’re eight-hour days.

What is your favorite part of being a CSFA? The uniqueness of each patient. I do the same procedures every day, but each patient has a unique story, and that’s what makes it diﬀerent. The outcome is almost immediately gratifying for VO I C E -T R I B U N E . C O M |

me because you can see the results the patient is going to get. “Mommy Makeovers,” which includes breast and body contouring procedures, are my favorite. Every patient is unique in plastic surgery, and this procedure is a vital aspect of creating breasts and bodies that help women feel more confident. That is what it is all about!

How have you grown since working at CaloAesthetics®? First to understand, then to be understood. As time has gone by, I have become a resource for co-workers, residents and fellows. And in saying that, I have a responsibility to share what I have learned in 25 years.

What do the next 25 years of your career look like? I hope I’m not going to be here for 25 more years! Since Dr. Calobrace is often out educating and teaching, I find myself working fewer hours which is okay because I’ve come to that point in my career. I will continue to help Dr. Mays when his assistant is out, and I will help any other doctor who might come to the practice.

CaloAesthetics® Plastic Surgery Center 2341 Lime Kiln Lane 502.899.9979 caloaesthetics.com

Dr. Calobrace, how would you describe your partnership with Lisa? Lisa has become part of the fabric of what CaloAesthetics® plastic surgery is. She walks the delicate tightrope exceptionally well as she balances her relationships with others as a fellow employee and a direct connection to myself and the executive team. As you can imagine, Lisa is like family, and she is the glue that keeps our vast 85-employee organization still seem like a family.v 58

Sophia’s Bridal and Tux Owner Jessica Limeberry gives us a peek into her bridal boutique By SARAH CARTER LEVITCH Photos by ANDREA HUTCHINSON

ombining her love for people and the upbeat, celebratory world of bridal, Jessica Limeberry became the owner of Sophia’s Bridal and Tux in 2014. Starting as a small boutique, Sophia’s Bridal and Tux has grown to four locations in Indiana and Kentucky without compromising its customer-focused feel or pride in serving couples in the most exciting moments of their lives. We spoke with Jessica to learn more about her boutique and her passion for the bridal business.

in the industry. After about eight years of shooting weddings, I had the opportunity to purchase Sophia’s Bridal and Tux. I was so excited to reach even more brides, couples and families.

What distinguishes Sophia’s Bridal and Tux from other bridal boutiques? Sophia’s Bridal and Tux has always been focused on serving our customers with the best possible experience and the perfect variety of styles from amazing designers that we trust and several exclusive designers that you can’t find anywhere else. Our stylists are great at walking people through the process and making sure they walk down the aisle in their perfect wedding dress! We want everyone who walks in the door to have the best time, feel confident and unique and enjoy the whole process.

Do you outfit the mother of the bride and bridesmaids as well? A big part of our store is our formal wear section. It depends on what style a mother of the bride is looking for, but we love to help them find something to feel confident in. Our Columbus and Indianapolis stores have our bridesmaids’ selection and suite. It is the perfect place to have a fun little getaway and look at all the styles.

Do you refer your clients to florists and other wedding vendors? Yes, we love working with and promoting other local vendors. Being one of the first things most brides shop for, we become a trusted ally for them as they do all their wedding planning. It is so fun to see their whole wedding come to life!

JUNE 2022

What is the average range for the cost of a bridal gown?

Is there anything special you do for the bride while shopping for a gown?

Most brides at Sophia’s Bridal and Tux spend around $1,500-2,000 on their wedding dresses, and we have gowns from about $1,000-5,000. We work hard to have a fantastic selection of dresses at every price, style, size and vibe. The key is making sure you know what you’re comfortable spending before you start shopping, so we can help you find that perfect dress.

We love surprising and delighting our brides and their families. When you find your dress at Sophia’s, you’ll work oneon-one with a stylist to take you through every step. We love to celebrate with a champagne toast and lots of little surprises along the way! v

has expanded her brand into other cities like Indianapolis and Lexington. “The Louisville market has been amazing, and I love everyone here,” she said. “There are so many weddings happening this year.” With the high demand for weddings this season, it’s vital that Christina is always prepared for the bride and groom. We got to take a sneak peek inside her bag to see what exactly a wedding planner’s essentials are daily. JUNE 2022

To start off, what is your go-to bag? Wedding planners are expected to have an oversized tote, which makes sense, but it can be too much and heavy. I now just have a standard crossbody I love. On event days, I take a different purse. My everyday carry is from Portland Leather, a smaller business based in Portland, Oregon. My wallet and business card holder match. SAFETY WEDDING KIT 1. LASER MEASURER Any time we walk a venue, we need to take measurements of the space. It’s a quick and easy tool that I use a lot. It goes with me every day, and you can find it at the home improvement store. 2. GERBER MULTI-TOOL KNIFE My husband got me this. There’s a wine opener on it because I’ve had a few trips with friends where we couldn’t open our wine. There’s also a knife and a screwdriver that always comes in handy. The Gerber multi-tool from gerber.com, and I think Quest Outdoors sells them knives too.

4. LIQUID IV I always have Liquid IV packets in every flavor. I carry them around as something a little more aimed toward a wedding day, but I also use them daily. 5. SNACKS When I carry snacks, I eat like a five-year-old and carry around Goldfish packets from Costco or a Power Up trail mix packet. Other typical items include lighters, tide to-go pens, fashion tape, Tylenol, tissues, feminine products, gorilla glue and business cards pressed locally by Hound Dog Press.

What do you recommend future brides to have on hand? I don’t want them to carry a lot, so they should focus on personal items. I will not have your shade of lipstick in my emergency kit or have blonde bobby pins or anything specific to that person. I want them to feel like they can go without. Many of my clients will have a small clutch that can go with them all day, but they really don’t need anything else because they have us. v Christina Burton Events 859.948.2124 christinaburtonevents.com

3. SCISSORS AND SAFETY PINS I often use safety pins and scissors. If someone is looking for me, it’s usually for those two items. I have this one pair of scissors that I have held onto for three years. I think it’s from Lowe’s, so it’s a very heavy-duty pair of scissors. I never lose track of those on wedding days.

What’s the Buzz with the Hive?

Apiary Fine Catering & Event’s creativity sparked during the pandemic with the introduction of a culinary club By ELIZABETH SCINTA | Photos provided by APIARY

hen unprecedented times arise, people and businesses alike must adapt to the circumstances to survive. Cooper Vaughan, the Proprietor at Apiary Fine Catering & Events, had to adapt quickly as corporate events, weddings and private events were canceled almost immediately due to the ever-looming pandemic. But, first, let’s rewind to the beginning. According to Vaughan, Apiary Fine Catering & Events has catered events in Lexington and neighboring areas for about 12 years. In 2015, they opened the

JUNE 2022

doors to the Apiary. Suddenly, in the heart of downtown Lexington, behind a historic brick wall crawling with ivy, sat a dazzling event venue surrounded by enchanted gardens designed by Jon Carloftis. The Apiary went from celebrating momentous occasions with hundreds of guests to sitting empty as events were canceled left and right due to the pandemic. “We saw our world changing very quickly, and we figured we had to quickly find a pivot,” explained Vaughan. “So, our pivot was to create a culinary club called the Hive.” At the beginning of the pandemic, they utilized the kitchen within the Apiary to craft to-go meals that members of the Hive could purchase weekly; they continued to serve to-go meals for about a year and a half. Being able to work and help out the community during the pandemic with to-go meals was a big deal for Vaughan and his team, but they had a charming, luxurious event space that wasn’t being used to its full potential. When restaurants began opening under strict guidelines, Vaughan realized they could turn the Apiary into a non-traditional restaurant; thus, OMAGE was born. “OMAGE was our restaurant concept that came during COVID-19 as the next reincarnation before catering returned,” said Vaughan. “OMAGE is a play on the word homage, and it started as a way to pay homage to something. It could be a chef, a book or a region.”

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

VOICE LOUISVILLE

OMAGE is a pop-up restaurant experience that happens throughout the year with different themes, all aimed at paying homage to something. Behind the brick wall, the gardens and Apiary are transformed with extraordinary decor. The culinary and beverage team crafts a seven-course tasting menu with paired wines and cocktails inspired by the evening’s theme. But wait, there’s more! The Apiary also hosts pop-up OMAGE cocktail events throughout the year. “The cocktail concepts have live music and food stations. The space is still transformed, but it’s a multi-sensory food carnival vibe, where the other OMAGES are elegant sit-down dinners,” said Vaughan. OMAGE events are 84

VOICE LOUISVILLE

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

ticketed for members and non-members with a two-week presale for members. Regardless of membership, one can attend the monthly Apiary Tearoom, where a classic English tea service is served on heirloom china and silver, and you can finally experience a proper English tea time. Members of the Hive can also attend twicemonthly supper clubs, which feature a tasting menu from a seasonally inspired driven menu by Apiary’s talented culinary team. Louisvillians, it’s time to step out of our comfort zone and get familiar with Lexington. Consider stopping by the Apiary before or after a day at Keeneland, or craft a weekend filled with JUNE 2022

sightseeing and exquisite eats. The Apiary team created fantastic new opportunities for Lexingtonians, but now that events are back on (yippee!), their weekends are filled with catering delectable menus for private events, both on- and off-property. Through innovation, Vaughan was able to keep his team together throughout the pandemic, which allowed them to grow immensely with their creative processing and content production. “Even though we have these beautiful institutions and restaurants that have been a part of our community for a long time, once you let the people go, you kind of let the spirit go, and it just becomes a building with an old story,” explained Vaughan. That’s the real jewel of the story, keeping this team together. That’s what sets us apart moving forward because so many people didn’t have the opportunity to keep their team together.” v Apiary Fine Catering & Events 218 Jefferson Street Lexington, KY 859.254.2225 the-apiary.com

English Charm in Horse Country Ashbourne Farms designed a custom Hartley Botanic greenhouse to accompany the Show Barn By ELIZABETH SCINTA | Photos by ANDY HYSLOP

he summer months elicit a breath of fresh air where the grass is greener, the flowers are blossoming, and the sun sets later in the evening, painting the sky a vivid array of oranges, pinks and reds. The summer sun casts a warm glow on the green pastures and seven greenhouses dotting the land out on Ashbourne Farms. Vegetables fill Ashbourne Farm’s six production greenhouses, while basil, thyme, olive trees and key lime trees (to name a few) fill the Hartley Botanic Greenhouse next to the stunning Show Barn. Austin Musselman, the third generation Family Manager of Ashbourne Farms, grew up helping his grandmother, Sally Brown, in her greenhouse JUNE 2022

at her property off River Road. “She was kind of a famous Kentuckian. She was involved in the Garden Club of America and eventually was a founder of The Nature Conservancy. My grandmother had a lot of native plants in her extensive gardens, and in the winter, she’d move her flowers into the greenhouse. When I was a little boy, I remember going in there and it being almost tropical, even in the cold winter of Kentucky,” explained Musselman. “You know how smells bring back memories? To this day, every time I go into a greenhouse, it takes me back to working with my grandmother.” In 2021, The Hartley Botanic Greenhouse made its debut on Ashbourne Farms to house fine herbs, fruits and other culinary items. These items, along with the VO I C E -T R I B U N E . C O M |

VOICE LOUISVILLE

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

JUNE 2022

vegetables from the production greenhouses and other locally sourced ingredients, adorn the menus utilized for events in the Show Barn. After seeing ads for Hartley Botanic greenhouses in The VoiceTribune and other publications, Musselman knew it was the perfect addition to Ashbourne Farms. “I felt like they had that classic, old-world European look to greenhouses that you would see in the Royal Gardens in London. It has that classic look, but a modern fit and finish to it,” explained Musselman. Based in Lancashire, England, Hartley Botanic has a rich history of manufacturing handmade Victorian greenhouses dating back to its founding in 1938. Just last year, they were recognized with a Queen’s Award for Enterprise: International Trade for their growth overseas, according to a press release. The magnificent glass greenhouse is actually two separate custom greenhouses connected by a walkway that sits atop an old stone springhouse, an idea from Ben Page, a Principal Landscape Architect at PAGE|DUKE. Another reason Musselman chose Hartley Botanic was for its innovative design features, such as the crystal clear windows at the top of the greenhouses that open and close without power to adjust the temperature within. The gorgeous flowers around the greenhouse were chosen and planted by Jon Carloftis, an award-winning Lexington based landscape designer, whereas Monica Boone has the role of greenhouse caretaker. “She envisioned Lowcountry, Charleston plantings in the first phase. She really wanted it to feel like a courtyard that you would see in Savannah or Charleston with JUNE 2022

branches from young live oak trees and bougainvillea flowers to provide shade,” explained Musselman. On the outside wall of the greenhouse, find “jasmine vines that give off a nice smell, passion flowers, lavender and a few gardenias.” Finally, various herbs and edible plantings line tables in the middle aisles. “It was a fun project and collaboration between Hartley, Ashbourne’s culinary team, the gardeners, the landscape architect Ben Page and Jon Carloftis. We were looking for something that would be both functional, decorative and utilitarian all at the same time,” explained Musselman. “We’re really proud of it, and we hope that everybody has a chance to come out and see it.” Although most events transpire in the show barn, Musselman mentioned quaint events, like a small dinner party or cocktail hour, can occur in the Hartley Botanic greenhouse. So, when planning your next event, don’t forget about the Hartley Botanic greenhouse that will bring a little old-English charm to the lush, rolling hills of Kentucky’s horse farms. v Ashbourne Farms 3810 Old Westport Rd.

JUNE 2022

iding off the success of Kendall-Jackson Wines, Jess Stonestreet Jackson pursued his passion for Thoroughbred racing by establishing Stonestreet Farm in Lexington, Kentucky, in the early 2000s. After laying a foundation for the stables with horses such as Curlin and Rachel Alexandra, Jackson passed away in 2011, leaving the leadership of Stonestreet Farms to his wife, Barbara Banke. She also continues to lead Jackson Family Wines, the company she co-founded with Jackson. Through the Stonestreet Farm website, we were able to discover some achievements of Stonestreet since 2011, hopefully helping to illuminate the steadfast leadership of Banke and the magic of horse racing in Kentucky. Building on the legacy left by her husband and drawing from her experience as the head of a global winemaking empire, Banke remains committed to breeding, raising and racing Thoroughbreds of the highest caliber at Stonestreet. Under Banke’s leadership, Stonestreet has increased the size of its racing stable and broodmare band and established the Stonestreet Training and Rehabilitation Center near Ocala, Florida. The center allows Stonestreet to apply the same principles to the early training of its racehorses as it does to its young horses in Kentucky. An expanded international presence for the Racing Stable has brought graded stakes victories in eight countries, most recently Australia, France and the United Kingdom. The guiding focus of Stonestreet’s breeding program is to produce Thoroughbreds with strength, stamina and class. Since its inception, the program has produced the winners of over 170 graded and listed stakes races. Stonestreet’s long-term business model includes welcoming its retired fillies into its broodmare band and supporting its colts at stud. Stonestreet is also committed to providing the horses that do not enter the breeding operation every opportunity to succeed in a second career. Banke is committed to pursuing a bright future in industry and sport, providing her with many thrills and memories. At the dawn of its second decade in operation and with a talented team in place, there is every reason to believe that Stonestreet’s best days are yet to come. v

Atomic Spectra and the Structure of the Atom By STEVE HUMPHREY

When last we checked in, I was saying that Rutherford’s planetary model of the atom was mistaken. Remember, this was the view that negatively charged electrons revolve around a positively charged nucleus. Well, traveling in a circle is a form of acceleration (i.e., deviation from constant straight line motion) and it was known by then (1910’s) that charged 96

VOICE LOUISVILLE

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

particles give up energy in the form of radiation when they are accelerated. An electron revolving around a nucleus would lose energy and spiral into the nucleus in a very short period of time. The planetary model thus implies that matter would be unstable. Atoms couldn’t exist for more than a fraction of a second. The presence of a stable Universe tells us that this view

is incorrect. Also, remember from our discussion of the double slit experiment, it doesn’t seem as though electrons travel along determinate trajectories, so there couldn’t be orbital paths at all. Since we can’t directly observe an atom, we have to infer its structure from certain experiments, and one of the most important is spectrographic. As we all know, JUNE 2022

when an object is heated sufficiently, it will begin to glow. An iron poker, for example, will go from black to red to white as it gets hotter and hotter. This glow is electromagnetic radiation (i.e., light) which can be run through a prism. If we look at something like the Sun, which radiates at all wavelengths, the spectrum is a continuous band of color, ranging from red to violet. But if we heat a gas of a single element, such as hydrogen, the spectrum is completely different, and consists of a black background with a few bright lines crossing it. And each element, such as oxygen, nitrogen, etc., has a different spectrum. These lines represent photons of different frequencies. (For radiation, frequency is the same as energy.) The puzzle then is what is it about the atom that can explain the presence of these spectral lines? In 1913, the Danish physicist Niels Bohr made a radical proposal. The electrons surrounding the nucleus don’t revolve around it; they reside in different “shells” at different distances from the nucleus, each shell corresponding to a particular energy. And this energy is discrete, as Max Planck and Albert Einstein had suggested earlier. That means that the energy of an electron is some integral multiple of a constant, h. So, an electron

could have energy equal to 1h, or 2h, or 3h, but nothing in between. If this were true of macroscopic objects, it would be as if your car could travel at 20 mph, or 25 mph, but at no speeds in between. This is weird! When atoms of hydrogen gas, say, are heated, or energized in some way, the electrons absorb that energy and jump to higher energy shells. Then, after an unpredictable period of time, each electron spontaneously drops back to a lower shell, giving off a photon with energy equal to the difference between the two shells. Each line in the spectrum represents photons with a particular frequency. So, if the electron in one atom jumps from the ground state, i.e., the lowest energy shell, to the next shell, and then decays back to the ground state, it will give off a photon with energy equal to the difference between those two shells. And if the electron in another atom jumps to a higher shell, and then decays back to the ground state, it will give off a photon will a larger energy. And it happens that an electron might jump to a still higher energy level, and then decay in stages, gradually going from one level to a lower one until reaching the ground state, and each of those transitions produce a photon with a particular frequency, which result in a

particular line in the spectrogram. What makes this really counter-intuitive is that the electron cannot occupy any energy level between the various discrete shells. It is as though it disappears from one shell and reappears at another without visiting any points in between. If it could occupy intermediate points, it would radiate at intermediate frequencies, and all elements would have spectra consisting of identical continuous gray smudges, and spectrography would warrant barely a page in any physics text. One further oddity. There appears to be no rhyme nor reason to the timing or extent of the “quantum leaps” from one orbital shell to another. They are totally random, allowing only probabilistic predictions, which bothered many at the time. Coming out of the Newtonian zeitgeist, with its deterministic, “clockwork” Universe, this was a hard pill to swallow, causing Einstein to utter his famous rebuttal “God does not play dice with the universe.” Steve Humphrey has a Ph.D. in the history and philosophy of science, with a specialty in the philosophy of physics.

The Rise of Outdoor Living Judie Parks of Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices Parks & Weisberg, REALTORS® discusses the rising popularity of pools and outdoor living

By SARAH CARTER LEVITCH | Photos by ADAM HANCOCK

s life begins to open up more than ever since the COVID lockdown, our lifestyles and living habits haven’t necessarily reverted to “normal.” It’s fair to say we’ve evolved, and we’ve come to know ourselves and our families on a deeper level. Out of everything we’ve learned, one thing stands out: the value of outdoor spaces. Our collective appreciation of the outdoors has undoubtedly increased, whether for restaurants, parks,

VOICE LOUISVILLE

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

or patios. We spoke with Judie Parks at Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices Parks & Weisberg, REALTORS®, to learn more about the increasing value of outdoor living.

What trends are you seeing in outdoor living? The one thing that has become popular and valuable is a pool. Because of COVID, pools have become a hot commodity. If you want to add a pool, it will

take you about 1 ½ to 2 years to get that pool and probably cost double. The most significant mind shift is that now people are willing to pay what the pool is worth. If people have to pay an extra $50,000 for a house with a pool, it’s a win-win.

What are the most popular features in outdoor kitchens? Most people try to make it look like a fixture. They’ll be surrounded by stone, truly built-in, with maybe a gas cooktop, JUNE 2022

a fridge and a sink. It’s meant to look permanent and blend into the environment. If their outdoor space is open, they’ll have lots of landscaping around it, like grasses and taller bushes, to give some privacy. They go the extra mile to get nice patio furniture, not just the table and chairs, but some club chairs and a coffee table. For the porch, many people have curtains. It makes it look like another room. People are using their outdoor spaces as an extension of their homes.

How do you think an outdoor space elevates a home? It gives you a whole other space to use that you don’t use all the time. More people are embracing that outdoor living is its own unique space. I know Spring is officially here when I clean out the porch, get potted plants, and start sitting outside. I call it the “Great Migration.” It becomes something to look forward to.

What advice can you give to homeowners or buyers about outdoor living? When you’re making improvements, you have to think about what will bring you joy. You shouldn’t think about if you’re going to get 100% of your money back because the odds are you’re not. You’re doing it because it’s how you want to live, but keep in mind that this is how more people want to live now than ever before. v Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices Parks & Weisberg, REALTORS® 1701 Herr Lane, Suite 100 Louisville, KY 40222 502.897.3321 bhhsparksweisberg.com

Multiple Option Mortgage Services MOMS strives to give Louisville consumers a better home buying experience By RACHEL PORTER | Photos by EMILY PETERS One of the first steps many newlyweds make is buying their first home together. But as the Kentucky real estate market remains strong, home-buyers need to be knowledgeable about loans that fit their needs and lifestyle. To fully understand the process of home loans and the importance of having a realtor and mortgage broker, we sat down with MOMS, one of Louisville’s most trustworthy mortgage brokers.

VOICE LOUISVILLE

What is the story behind MOMS?

What services does MOMS provide?

Multiple Option Mortgage Services was started in 1988 in Louisville, KY and has been locally owned and operated ever since. MOMS was created to give consumers a better home buying experience. Since the beginning, we have always made ourselves available to clients on evenings and weekends as well as what many consider “normal” working hours. We work closely with local realtors and their clients.

We are mortgage brokers – we shop for home loans for our clients and take them from preapproval to the closing table. True to our name, we maintain relationships with a handful of lenders to provide our clients with competitive options to meet their needs. We work around the clock to ensure all our clients are happy and confident in their home-buying decisions.

JUNE 2022

Why should people choose MOMS? As a company, our mission is to be here for our clients from their first home to their last home. We want our clients to trust that they made the right decision when choosing MOMS. We are focused on customer service and the education of our clients. We work as a team which allows us to build relationships with our clients—they are never just a transaction. We also offer additional services at no added cost to help our clients reach their short- and long-term goals.

What are some of the benefits of homeownership? I think the easiest thing to recognize is the pride in homeownership. Financially, owning a home is usually a person’s most significant way of building wealth. Many homeowners will improve their property over time, increasing their values. Your real estate appreciates over time, but you are also paying down the principal on your loan, building wealth.

JUNE 2022

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

VOICE LOUISVILLE

105

What are the three most essential steps in the loan process? 1. An essential step in the loan process is getting preapproved early! We cannot stress enough – planning early is key to getting the right loan at the right time with the best terms available. One little collection on a person’s credit report can dramatically diminish their credit score, which means either higher fees to the borrowers or higher interest rates due to a lower credit score. 2. Understanding the steps from pre approval to closing makes you a more informed consumer. Stay in touch with your REALTOR® and Mortgage Broker to ensure everyone is on the same page throughout the shopping period and entire transaction. 3. Practicing the payment you expect to be making. With early planning, consumers can start practicing the monthly payment they expect. By doing this for several months, you not only have saved money for a down payment and closing costs, but you can tell from your budget if the payment you have forecasted is affordable for yourself and make adjustments where needed.

How does MOMS simplify the process for so many buyers? We make lending as understandable as we can for our clients. As much as possible, we avoid using industry terms and will explain to them when they need clarification. We make ourselves accessible on evenings and weekends to answer questions or meet around clients’ schedules, which is especially helpful in today’s hectic market. v Multiple Option Mortgage Services 1701 Herr Lane, Suite 200 Louisville, KY 40222 502.473.1817 momsoptions.com

Pictures from Pieces: Quilts from the Eleanor Bingham Miller Collection A deep dive into the historic quilt exhibition at the Speed By SARAH CARTER LEVITCH | Photo provided by SPEED ART MUSEUM

amilial and nostalgic, quilts serve as versatile objects, simultaneously a blanket and a piece of art. Quilts provide more than just warmth, as evident from the quilts on display at the Speed Art Museum. Wrapped up in geographic, economic and social history, quilts can also teach us about the times of their origin, perhaps providing a fresh perspective and making us think in new ways. We spoke with Scott Erbes, Curator of Decorative Arts and Design, to learn more about some of the quilts on display until July 10.

110

Tell me a little bit about the Pictures from Pieces exhibit.

What do quilts remind you of?

This exhibition was built using ten recent gifts of nine American quilts and one England quilt from Eleanor Bingham Miller. Eleanor’s collection is primarily American, with a good number from Kentucky dating from the 1850s to 1965. She began collecting quilts, particularly Kentucky quilts, in the 1980s. That was inspired by the work she was doing with Shelly Zegart and others to establish what was called the Kentucky Quilt Project. This was a fieldwork program that sought to document Kentucky quilts. It was one of the first projects of its kind in the United States that became a model for other states to document textile histories.

My mother made quilts, and from a curatorial perspective, quilts are a powerful memory object, particularly if you had a family member who made them, if you had them as a child, or if they were gifts as an adult. Quilts are approachable objects; everyone recognizes what a quilt is. Their association is tied up in memory and nostalgia. They’re also intimate objects in the sense that we climb underneath them when it gets cold.

JUNE 2022

Can you tell me more details about some of the quilts? One non-Kentucky quilt was made in 1832 by a quilter named Hannah Huxley, who lived in Wilmington, Delaware. It’s a big VO I C E -T R I B U N E . C O M |

quilt with the star of Bethlehem pattern. A beautiful object, but I’m always interested in how things connect to the broader social and economic histories. In the context of the 1830s, the case of a grand American quilt made with expensive cotton is that raw cotton was being grown, cultivated and harvested by enslaved Americans in the South. That cotton was being shipped to England, where it was made into a fabric imported back to the United States. There’s a hidden history of slavery and the international economies built around that when you see the object. There’s a beautiful Kentucky-made quilt that we can connect with Virginia Mason Ivey. She lived in Logan County, Kentucky and never married, came from a reasonably well-to-do family and lived with at least one brother. She had the privilege of time and incredible artistic talent. The quilt we have on view was connected to a marriage near Henderson. From what I know, there was no connection between the bride and groom and Virginia Ivey, the quilter, so I wonder if she was doing this professionally and for her family. That wasn’t unusual in the early 19th century. The third one is the latest from the exhibition, made in 1965 by Beatrice Pettway in Gee’s Bend, Alabama. The Gee’s Bend quilting tradition is a remarkable one. This Black community emerged out of enslavement. There’s a history of quilt making that’s continued for generations up to the present. The community was intentionally economically isolated along the Alabama River. When you have a community practicing an artistic tradition in isolation, they develop a unique and distinctive aesthetic. One side of the quilt is made from recycled work clothes, which is practical, but there’s also an aspect of memory. The fabrics being used and memorialized connect to the people who wore those clothes. The other side of the quilt is this colorful, vibrant stripe pattern made from the mid-1960s corduroy with a red, orange and olive green palette. So you have this visually joyful face on one side, and then on the other with the work clothes, something that reads more introspective and pensive.v Speed Art Museum 2035 South Third St. Louisville, KY 40208 502.634.2700 speedmuseum.org 112

How Bad Does a Knee Have to Be Before Considering Replacement? For the majority of patients with knee pain that interferes with their ability to go on walks and enjoy other recreational activities, most doctors will try more conservative treatments before recommending surgery.

Thomas Schlierf, MD Orthopedic Surgeon

“I treat my patients like I would want to be treated and explain all the options to them,” said Thomas Schlierf, MD, Orthopedic Surgeon with Baptist Health Medical Group in Louisville and New Albany, Indiana. “We try conservative therapies first, but if those aren’t working, then we talk about total joint replacement.”

When You Should Consider Knee Replacement • Your long-lasting pain isn’t improving. • Your arthritis is interfering with your life. Simple, necessary activities such as walking, sleeping, and working are becoming difficult due to knee pain. • Your knee hurts when you’re at rest. You want to remain active. • You want lasting relief. The average knee replacement lasts for 20-25 years and a little less for those who are more physically active.

“Our goal is to get you back to your daily activities and doing the things you enjoy doing,” explains Dr. Schlierf.

115570_BHLU_JulyAdvertorial_7_4x4_8c.indd 1

Benefits of Knee Replacement Surgery • Pain relief. Probably the biggest benefit you’ll notice after surgery is not experiencing pain during your daily activities and when you’re at rest. • High success and satisfaction rates. More than 90% of those who undergo knee replacement surgery, most of whom have osteoarthritis, say that it improves their pain and that they’re satisfied with the results one year after the procedure.

Dr. Schlierf can be contacted at 502.897.6579.
