King has a wife, Brittany, an attorney for the court of appeals, and a two-year-old son named Asher. She’s also an officer and sniper for the Jeffersontown Police Department’s Special Operations Group (SPO, commonly referred to as SWAT) and the only female sniper in the state of Kentucky.

Writer / Beth Wilder, Director Jeffersontown Historical Museum
The population of Jeffersontown was about 350 in 1910. Local residents had a variety of jobs, and farming kept most of them busy – in addition to their normal occupations. They did not have the conveniences we now take for granted — electricity did not even come to Jeffersontown until 1912 — so a great deal of time and energy went into earning a living,
growing food for the family and making sure that time-consuming but mundane tasks such as doing the laundry and other household chores were completed. Once the tasks of daily living were accomplished, people had a bit of time for relaxation. Since radio and television had not yet been invented, people had to find some way to keep themselves entertained, and for early Jeffersontown residents, one
way that goal was achieved was by enjoying baseball games. Baseball had been played – officially – in Jefferson County since July 19, 1865, when the Louisville Grays hosted the first baseball game played under standard rules west of the Alleghenies. Several Major League teams were established, but local residents wanted to be able to attend games closer to home and to take part in those games.

So, practically every small town in Jefferson County organized its own ball team, and they played each other. Nothing is recorded about Jeffersontown’s baseball team until a May 26, 1910 Jeffersonian newspaper article mentions what appears to be the first actual game played by an organized Jeffersontown team. Here are some excerpts from that article: “Sunday, May 22, Jeffersontown played its initial game, having for an opponent the Evergreens. The game was played on a muddy field and it was impossible for the boys to make a good showing, although they put up a good fight, regardless of their never having played together before. The final score was 12 to 6 in favor of the Evergreens. We should all be justly proud of our team and give it support, and the way fans turned out to see Sunday’s game it looks like we are going to do this, as there was at least 30 who drove from Jeffersontown to see the game.”

After that, ballgames were played weekly throughout the summer. Realtor E.R. Sprowl promised the team could play on the recently-opened ball field of what was soon to become the new Jeffersontown School in the Jefferson Heights subdivision, to the left of where Tully Elementary now stands. There was “plenty of shade and soft drinks of all kinds,” and everyone was encouraged to come out and root for the home team. The Jeffersontown Nine played a variety of other teams, including the Evergreens, Hikes Point, Louisville Southeastern, Bauer’s, the Grommers, City Limits Stars, Bartman Athletes, Modern Woodmen, Tucker’s, Swamp College Lads and Louisville Manual, to name just a few. They even played the Married Men of the town on several very entertaining occasions. In 1911, the “Trolley League,”
composed of Shelbyville, La Grange, Jeffersontown, Simpsonville, Lakeland, Ochsners, and Louisville Athletics, was a huge success with fans. Although the editors of the Jeffersonian newspaper were obviously biased, they noted that Jeffersontown was made up of some of the best players in the league, and that nothing “advertises the town like a good ball team.” The results of “the famous Trolley League” were published in all the city papers and watched with interest by a large number of people. Businesses chipped in to pay the travel expenses of visiting teams, and enough seats were erected at the ball field to accommodate about two hundred people – not a small number, given the actual population of the town at the time. In 1912, the Jeffersontown Baseball Club became known officially as “Fanelli

Brothers” after Frank Fanelli, owner of one of Jeffersontown’s leading stores, paid “something like $50” to have uniforms made for the entire team. At the time, Barto Roemele was manager of the team, which also consisted of Walter Jones, Walter Harris, Edwin Davis, Ben Stivers, John Finn and John Baker, among others. The team closed its season in October that year with 11 wins out of 18 games. Jeffersontown was obviously very enthusiastic about its ball team and continued to have a men’s baseball league under different sponsorships for the next several decades. For quite some time, the men’s league played on the old Jeffersontown School Grounds at College Drive and Maple Road (where Tully Elementary School now stands), sharing the field with students of the school. Eventually the men’s league gave way to Little League,
with dedicated ball fields established along Ruckriegel Drive (behind the Jeffersontown Community Center) and at Skyview Park, which had originally been founded by James Wilson in the 1940s as a place for black people to play. In 1996, construction was completed on a $1.8 million baseball field at Skyview Park to support the Jeffersontown Little League. The City of Jeffersontown maintains its interest in local sports, with Skyview Park serving as home to Jeffersontown youth baseball and softball leagues. It has served as host to the Little League World Series for senior league girls’ softball, Kentucky High School Athletic Association Fast Pitch Softball State Tournament, and various little league district and regional tournaments. Jeffersontown invites everyone to “get in the game” and play ball!

WHERE ________________ HAPPEN
JPD OFFICER SARAH KING TALKS ABOUT BEING THE ONLY FEMALE SNIPER IN KENTUCKY
Writer / Tyrel Kessinger
Looking at Sarah King’s life on paper makes her seem as normal as any member of the general population. She’s a police officer who was born and raised in Louisville, attended NKU on a softball scholarship and graduated 2004 with a degree in criminal psychology. King has a wife, Brittany, an attorney for the court of appeals, and a two-year-old son named Asher. She’s also an officer and sniper for the Jeffersontown Police Department’s Special Operations Group (SPO, commonly referred to as SWAT) and the only female sniper in the state of Kentucky.
“As of right now, there’s only a certain amount of schools here in Kentucky that host basic sniper courses and talking to them and people in the NTOA (National Tactical Officer Association) and KTOA (Kentucky Tactical Officers Association), I am the only one,” King says.
“I always thought this field is really interesting,” she says. “In college, with my criminal justice classes, I did some ride alongs with the police that I thought this was a career path that I wanted to go in. The reason I went into this kind of work is because I’ve always really enjoyed helping people.”
When talking to King it seems as if course of her life — from her time as a softball player to her decision to pursue law enforcement to her role on SWAT — has been fulfilled quite organically — as if everything that has happened to her was something she planned.
Beyond that, King loves to be challenged, something her role as a police officer provides her in abundance.
MAY 2019
“I look forward to doing investigations I am given,” she says. “I enjoy working the puzzles and putting the pieces back together and finding that missing piece.”
To top it off, King is a sports and fitness enthusiast. “And I’ve also been an athlete most of my life,” she adds. “I enjoy the athletic parts of this job whether it’s being on SWAT where you have to be in shape and go to the gym and things like that but you’re always out in the elements and doing things when it comes to SWAT. When you’re setting up and getting deployed, who knows what you’ll be doing. Are we going to be running through the woods or hunkering down beneath cars. I’m kind of an adrenaline junky a little bit, too.” With Our Weight Loss Programs

Many people fall into positions at the jobs or find themselves there with no idea how they got there. Not so with King. She says she has “always been interested in the idea of being a precision marksman.”

After practicing shooting with a recently retired officer, King was told she “definitely” had the capabilities, the “drive and skill and the attitude and demeanor” to become a sniper for the JPD. After conferring with other officers she knew, King decided she would look into taking the plunge into becoming an SPO officer. From there, after a place opened up, King found herself a member of the SPO as of October 2018. “I had to go through the basic sniper course through the Louisville Metro Police Department,” she says. “I really enjoyed that. It starts you out at the very basic, you learn about your rifle, learn how it works.”

And if you’ve ever seen Hollywood portrayals of snipers, such as Mark Wahlberg’s in “Shooter”, King admits that some parts of it aren’t all that different in real life. “We also learn different math formulas to help for windage and elevation,” she says. “At different distances you’re going to have to make adjustments in order to be on the target.” More than simply a sniper, King has also learned many other elements of what it takes to be a good SWAT team member. She prides herself on being able to carry out any duties she might be called upon to perform. “I’m still new,” she says. “But we have training once a month. A full day. It varies each time what we do, what task. I still work on entry stuff. I’m also an entry guy. We’re not always going to be able to deploy snipers so with that I still have to keep my skills honed when it comes to entry.”
Officer Sarah King
This desire for King to understand every aspect of her job, to be a successful leader, she says, comes from an unlikely source: softball. “From back in my days of being a catcher in college when I was playing softball, I liked to be a team leader, I like to lead the field,” she says. “As a catcher, you’re running the field. You’re making sure everyone’s good, the team knows what’s going on and has control of the situation. When it comes to snipers, it’s kind of the same thing. You are the overwatch. So when they’re making entrance into a house you always have eyes on the house to make sure they’re going in safe. I think of it like a manager. You want to know how to do everyone’s job. I really like that aspect.” A great feature of being on SWAT is that King gets to put her SWAT-learned tactics and knowledge to use on the beat in Jeffersontown. Another good thing is, we can expect police officers like King, ones who hold the responsibility of their job in serious regard and labor to be the best they can be both for themselves and the people they protect, to be on the streets protecting us for quite some time. “I don’t like sitting behind a desk,” she says. ‘I like being out here doing things.” MAY 2019

THE ROAD TO SUCCESS Meineke of Louisville Owner Bryan Brown Talks Family & Passion For the Automotive Industry Writer / Shannon Siders . Photography by Patricia Longmire Photography
If you had told Bryan Brown when he graduated from high school a little over 30 years ago that by 2019 he would own and operate one of the most successful chains of Meineke stores in the entire country, he would not have believed you. Brown always had the energy and enthusiasm necessary for an entrepreneurial lifestyle but did not take a particular interest in school. Growing up in Indianapolis, Brown always had a passion for working on things and was often found tinkering with bicycles and go-karts. By his teenage years, that interest migrated over to cars, and Brown decided to forego college and enter the workforce. By 1994, he had landed a role in Meineke’s corporate office, helping franchisees launch stores around the region. Brown’s client load had increased to 38 stores across three states when opportunity struck.
“I saw how I was helping other franchisees make money, and I thought why don’t I do it myself,” he says. Brown found the perfect opportunity to go into business for himself in Louisville, which at the time was a wideopen market. He and his wife Carla moved to Middletown in 1997 and have called the area home ever since. Their success and growth in the Louisville market can be described as nothing less than explosive. The Browns now own and operate 14 stores in the Greater Louisville area, including locations in Elizabethtown, Radcliff, New Albany and Charlestown. They have opened two new stores in the last calendar year alone, with another opening this spring.
EXPERIENCE THE MAGIC OF THE FILM WITH A LIVE ORCHESTRA
“I’m always looking for good opportunities for growth,” Brown says. “If we find good locations, we’re going to jump in there and open stores.” The Browns chain of stores generate the second-most revenue out of more than 900 Meineke locations across the United States. They trail only slightly behind one other organization under the Meineke umbrella, an operation with 25 stores. Along with the 14 Meineke locations, the Browns also own Mighty Auto Parts (located at 4172 Bardstown Road in Buechel), a wholesale company that provides many of his franchises with parts and supplies. An employee who has been with Brown for sixteen years runs Mighty Auto Parts, and the Browns have been lucky to experience excellent staff retention rates across all areas of their business over the years. One of their technicians, Mike, started with the Browns when he was 23 years old and is celebrating his 22nd year with the company.

“Our staff means the world to us,” says Brown, noting that his locations employ around 75 people. “We are the biggest family-owned multi-unit automotive group in the city, and we look at our staff as family. We do whatever we can for them.” The Browns make it a point to get to know every employee in the company, and birthdays are celebrated with homemade treats from Carla. The pair hosts regular company outings and celebrations that include their staff ’s family members, fostering a sense of family across their large network of stores. One of the Brown’s three children is even involved in the operations and serves as the store manager for their new location in La Grange. While Brown was happy that Stephan, his son, wanted to join the family business after college, the role was not simply handed to him. “I told him to go out and get a job in this business, get some experience and then I
would interview him and see what happens,” ensure all staff — from technicians to sales — are armed with the training and tools Brown says. necessary to excel in their jobs and provide the best overall experience for customers. His other employees were shocked, but he said, “I respect them too much to bring in someone just because of their last name.” “Anytime we have a new initiative, we look at it through the customer’s eyes first,” Brown Stephan gained experience with a says. “Everything has to be about the customer competitor before he earned a spot in one of — customer first, company second.” Brown’s Meineke stores.

Their organization is also making an impact outside of their stores. The Browns were just awarded the Meineke Philanthropy Award for the second year in a row and makes giving back a priority.
“We go down to Wayside every other month to contribute toiletries and clothes or to grill dinner for them,” Brown says. “We are getting something similar started in Shelby County now that we have a new store there.”
“The community supports us in such a big way, it feels good to give back,” he says. The Browns and their staff support a number of local charities and organizations, as well as Operation Homefront on a national level. Meineke places a big emphasis on supporting veterans, and Brown’s stores offer free oil changes to veterans on Veterans Day. “We run hundreds of cars through our stores on Veterans Day to make sure all of our veterans are taken care of,” he says.

While he wishes he could spend more time in his stores, most of Brown’s time is spent in the office working on the overall management of his franchises and looking into opportunities for new development. In the shop working on cars, Brown has found a new way to keep his passion alive. Within the last few years, the car enthusiast began to collect muscle cars from the late 1960s to early 1970s and has already grown his collection to 10. “I love going to car shows and chatting with people who have the same interests,” he says.
And yes, he does have a life outside of the automotive industry. The Browns love spending time with their four grandkids, who, at ages four and under, keep their hands full. As for the future? “This is my 25th year with Meineke, and I still look forward to getting up and going to work every day,” Brown says. “I love it, and there’s a lot left in me.”

Mother’s Day Gift Ideas For Every Mom Mother’s Day is coming up May 12th. Do you have plans yet? Have you gotten a gift for your mom? Moms are way too important not to plan for. So, aside from peace and quiet, here are a few ideas on ways to make her smile and remember this Mother’s Day. Writer / Abigail Hake
For the New Moms
The best gifts for new moms are things that save time and small comforts for sleepdeprived parents like super-soft mix and match pajamas you can find at Soma or a subscription to Shipt or Instacart! They’ll 100 percent appreciate the thoughtfulness of not having to run to the grocery store when they need things for dinner, but the baby is napping. For the Mom Who Needs Quiet The one thing moms can never get enough Does your momma like flowers? Most do, of is alone time, and there are many ways but there are a couple of different options here. For those who like to get their hands to give her that. She might have a preferred massage location or yoga spot that you can dirty in the garden, pop over to your local nursery or gardening and landscaping store grab her a gift card at. Or even better, book and grab a few of their favorite florals. You her an appointment and prepay! She’s sure to love this alone time especially when can purchase pre-potted arrangements or everything is taken care of. pick out a few flats for your mom to make their own combination. There are also For the Active Mom options for those who are less inclined to The best gifts for active mom are obviously garden but prefer fresh cut. If that’s the activities! If your mom is a gal who likes to case, check out thebouqs.com who offers really unique florals that she’s sure to want work out, then maybe buy her a few sessions to try out a new studio in your area. If they to show off.
For the Floral Loving Mom
are someone who likes to be outdoors, think about gifting her a season pass to your state park. With a pass, they can explore some really great land throughout the state.
For the Artistic or Crafty Mom
If your mom is one who loves to get crafty and make things, why not sign her up for a local workshop? Find one for decorating florals, creating candles, or hand lettering. Pouring candles is also very fun and maybe more her style. If so, sign her up for a candle pouring workshop in your area.
For the Foodie Mom
Treat your mom to a nice Mother’s Day brunch and no dishes afterward. No one wants to do the dishes on Mother’s Day. No. One. So make reservations at her favorite, local restaurant. Enjoy each other’s company while enjoying some great eats too I don’t think many would say no to brunch. And if you can’t make brunch happen, then grab her a gift card to one of her favorite spots to eat around town.
MAY 2019
For Any Mom
Maybe she wears jewelry but likes finer pieces. If that’s your mom, find a local jewelry craft store where the ladies there will be able to create something custom or help find you something perfect that’s readily available from their beautiful collection. If you think something a little simpler might work, pick up a monogram necklace. There’s also amazing silhouette necklaces on Etsy if you have time to order. Check out LEILAjewelryshop or GracefullyMadeStudio for unique and heartfelt necklaces. And if you aren’t able to figure anything out and all else fails, chocolate. Chocolates are quick and much loved. Pick out her favorites. Truffles, along with a handwritten card, and love are sure to please. As long as you make sure you give mom a day to relax and let her know how much you appreciate her and love her, you will win her heart over. Moms don’t hear these affirmations often enough, and usually, they are the icing on the cake to make for a perfect Mother’s Day — along with chocolate.

By the time he left, he had gradually whittled more than $4,000 off the original price. I remember thinking, ‘this is Starting a window business was a big change for Sabra Mutters, a former Realtor, ridiculous, there has to be a better way.’” who had a negative experience getting a window estimate years before starting Tru That bad experience years before shaped the Fit Windows. concept that has separated Tru Fit Windows from other window companies. “At the time, I was unsure if I was going to keep my house or sell, but either way I knew Mutters launched Tru Fit Windows in I really needed new windows,” Mutters 2008 with a mission to provide customsays. “The salesman was in my house for made Quality Replacement Windows that More than a decade ago, in the midst of the recession that had many businesses struggling to survive, Tru Fit Windows was founded.

included energy saving technology starting at $188. “Many people were really struggling financially,” Mutters adds. “I wanted to make sure that even someone on the tightest budget was getting a quality window with the technology of Low-e & Argon Gas to make an impact on their energy bills. Other companies were charging $50 to $80 per window for Low-e that I felt was too important to make optional. There are very few 100 percent female-owned exterior remodeling businesses. Thankfully I’m creative, have a thick skin, and I enjoy a challenge.”
Tru Fit Windows offers many window styles and options, including a Triple Pane Window with Advanced Energy Saving Technology that gets down to a U Value rating of .19 and an R-Value of 5. Tru Fit Windows offers advanced window technology solutions for windows that address UV color fading rays that can ruin floors and upholstery, as well as reflecting extreme direct solar heat away from the home, eliminating the need to close curtains and blinds to reduce summer cooling bills. The same technology works to retain interior heat during cold winter months. “If you’re a homeowner looking for aggressive energy saving windows that are guaranteed to last a lifetime and add value and beauty to your home, you owe it to yourself to call Tru Fit Windows,” Mutters says. “Little changes add up to big changes. Saving energy helps us save money by lowering heating and cooling bills, reduces strain on HVAC systems and, ultimately, makes a global impact through reducing Greenhouse gases. Whether or not you believe in climate change, everybody believes in saving money. “We work with homeowners to provide the highest quality product with the most energy savings, within their budget, and I’m really proud of that,” Mutters adds. “I’ve worked with elderly people who had windows held in by duct tape that could only do one window at a time. I literally came up with the company tagline: ‘Go Green Without Going Broke’ at the counter of the printer who was doing the first business card — it really sums up what it’s all about for me.” Tru Fit Windows offers Glass Replacement service as well as Window Replacement. “I’ve had customers who had been told they needed to replace all of the windows in a home, only to find that they really just needed new glass because the windows had seal failure (Foggy Glass) or some panes were cracked,” Mutters adds. “I love to see
the look on someone’s face when we can save them thousands of dollars and improve the look and feel of their home.” Whether you are needing to repair a broken or foggy window, replace just a few or are planning the renovation of your dream home, Tru Fit Windows can help. Many exterior color options are available including Architectural Colors and custom colors that can be matched from a paint sample you provide. “We can literally sit down with you and design your windows from thousands of possible aesthetic and energy feature combinations to really customize a product for your individual style and needs,” Mutters says.

This year marks the 20th Anniversary of the Annual Arts on the Green, a Fine Arts and Crafts Show hosted by the Arts Association of Oldham County (AAOC). What started as a small outdoor art show with 15 artist’s booths back in 1999, has grown into an award-winning two-day Festival that includes more than 125 artist’s booths, live music, food, Wine & Beer vendors and children’s activities. It is estimated to bring more than 10,000 visitors to downtown LaGrange, Kentucky on a beautiful, picturesque weekend in early June.

Eventually moved to the first weekend in June, the Arts on the Green show was also moved to its current location at the Oldham Courthouse Lawn. Surrounded by large, old trees, luscious thick grass and that beautiful stately-looking brick building, the existing sidewalks seemed to be a perfect fit for the walkways leading visitors past amazingly talented artists and craftspeople showcasing their work.

Gibson ambitiously brought on food vendors and onsite sponsors were added to 2nd Street. Arts on the Green has always been a fine arts juried show with AAOC Board Vice President Jim Cheski leading the charge to select and coordinate talented and artistic judges each year. “We feel strongly about maintaining the quality of the show and our careful selection of judges makes the caliber of it a valuable asset to the creative community,” Cheski says. The show continued to grow, with artist numbers rising and the front lawn almost at capacity. In 2010, current Director Mary

Under the direction of Nancy Theiss, the Colonial Trade Faire came into being. The history center grounds became a 1700’s Trade Faire. Vendors dressed in period costumes with trinkets and crafts appropriate for the era, adding yet another interesting and fun element to the festival setting.
Klausing was challenged by the AAOC Board to take the show to the next level as more of a Fine Arts and Crafts Festival.

This year, Arts on the Green will host more than 125 artist booths with works in 10 artist mediums from paintings, pottery, jewelry, metal and wood, to consumables, craft art, fiber, photography and sculpture. In addition to corporate and business sponsors, there will be five retail sponsors, 10 food vendors, musicians and children’s activities at the Festival.

spectacular growth of the Festival. She also points out that surrounding businesses show a great deal of support, and that even the local firefighters who join in the Festival each year on Saturday to collect for the Crusade for Children (with fire trucks and sirens blaring) just add to the festivity of the weekend. So, while you’re taking a walk through the beautiful, quaint setting of the Oldham County Courthouse Lawn, viewing incredible works of art and crafts, enjoying great music and refreshments, traveling back in time a bit as you view artifacts and folks in 1700-period costumes at the Trade Faire portion of the Festival or encouraging your children to participate in kid’s activities, you might just feel the rich, deep history of beautiful downtown LaGrange. If you hear that unmistakable roaring sound of a train running right through the middle of downtown, just a block away, it may just be yet another reason to fall in love with the Arts on the Green Festival.

Within this learning lesson, Holthouse found inspiration for a much larger project. In 2008, he decided to take this concept to a much broader scale in Houston, Texas. Since that time, 10 years have passed and each year brings in more cities and more participants. In 2017, Lauren Coulter, now our City Director of Lemonade Day, and her husband got wind of the project and reached out to sponsor the event in Louisville. “Ten years have passed since the project was started and each year it seems to get bigger and bigger,” Coulter says. “Lemonade Day currently spans across 60 cities throughout the nation with a range of 40,000 kids in Houston participating to 15,000 in Indiana. “This is Louisville’s second year and roughly 660 kids did it. Last year, we had about 300-350 kids join in. The rate has doubled in just one year and we expect it to grow more over time.” Lemonade Day this year will be Saturday, May 18.
technology company. This sale set him up for a lucrative future, but he felt inclined to teach his children the importance of responsibility and hard work. He wanted to teach them to appreciate the benefits of discipline and self-motivation in the way that he had come to understand these traits over time.
As Louisville’s City Director of Lemonade Day, Coulter has many responsibilities she must adhere to in order for each project to be a success. The project relies heavily on like-minded volunteers looking to improve youth education in their communities. Coulter works year-round to acquire more volunteers, sponsors and media attention in order to keep the project growing strong. While it takes a lot of hard work and effort to keep this program alive, the results are well worth the time invested. Lemonade Day teaches the importance of monetary value, community vigilance and responsibility.
Lemonade Day started with a dream that was sparked by Holthouse’s daughter. She wanted to get a pet turtle and Holthouse saw, through this, the opportunity to teach his daughter a valuable lesson. He told her that, in order to acquire the pet, she would have to earn money to pay for it. Her initial response was to put up a lemonade stand which inevitably was so successful that she was able to purchase her turtle with money left over.
While Holthouse gains credit for starting this organization, each city involved depends on the sponsorship of community-oriented individuals looking to bring new opportunities to children in their hometown. The Coulters set their legacy in place long before Lemonade Day by launching multiple successful businesses. However, Lemonade Day may be their biggest achievement in terms of self-determined civic duty.
POPULAR YOUTH EVENT RETURNS MAY 18, EMPOWERS TOMORROW’S BUSINESS LEADERS Writer / Beth Beckwith
The saying goes that, when life hands you lemons, you make lemonade, and with a little bit of help, more than 650 kids in Louisville did just that this year. The Coulters, a local entrepreneurial couple, joined a group in 2017 called “Lemonade Day” and sponsored the project in order to bring it to children in the local community. The goal of Lemonade Day is to inspire today’s youth to gain a more intricate understanding of modern business in terms of finance, cooperation and innovation. Lemonade Day was started in 2008 by businessman Michael Holthouse. Holthouse was successful in his initial business endeavors and was, in turn, able to sell his first business to a major

“My life revolves around my family and my work with my husband,” Coulter says. “We both are trained pharmacists who found a different calling in life than we had anticipated. I have been involved with junior league, volunteer organizations and other local community efforts that have exposed our family to a variety of programs in our city. These learning experiences inspired us to start our own local business. “We were the first ones in Louisville to start an interactive restaurant called Uptown Art on Bardstown Road. It later morphed into LouVino, a place where people could gather together to create, buy and learn about art over snacks and a glass or two of wine. After acquiring a knack for this type of entrepreneurship, we just kind of thought Lemonade Day married that notion with our desire to be engaged in the local philanthropic community.”
”I think it’s important to teach these values early on, while kids are beginning to shape their expectations of the world around them,” Coulter says. “It’s easy for parents, grandparents and other caregivers to simply purchase things for their kids or reward them with things but I think that, because Lemonade Day provides them Lemonade Day is targeted towards with the ability to make their own money, elementary and middle school learning levels. it gives them a stake in the process of
understanding it’s value.” Each participant submits their business results through the Lemonade Day website. Once each entry is accounted for, board members read through them and select a child to receive rewards based on their efforts. There is a cash reward as well as a grand prize. This year the grand prize was a bike giveaway in each city. The

selected individuals are then entered into a national competition where one child is chosen to receive the Entrepreneur of the Year Award. Last year two Louisville participants were chosen and went on to win the national award, later serving as advocates for the program. Every child registered in the program is given a backpack and workbook with lessons and plans for their project. They use the workbook as a guide to determine goals, develop budgets, advertise, provide good customer service and repay investors. This teaches the value of giving back to the community as a proactive citizen. Each person keeps the profits earned from their efforts and are encouraged to use the money towards the goals they set for themselves in their workbooks.

The ultimate end game is to teach them about financial literacy. Through this, they develop a foundation for good citizenship and future community activism.
networking in hopes of raising money to keep it free to participants and continuing to spread the news,” she says. For more information, please visit lemonadeday.org/louisville.
“General awareness is key in terms of a call to action at this point,” Coulter says. “Folks engaged in getting involved in local community efforts aligned with our goals are needed. Volunteers help us make this event happen each year and we will need many more if we want this project to expand in Louisville.”

Owner Heidi Fuller
CANCER SURVIVOR OPENS UPSCALE WIGS BOUTIQUE TO SUPPORT OTHER PATIENTS & SURVIVORS Writer / Tyrel Kessinger . Photographers / Christine Mueller & Hollie Colwick
Heidi Fuller is a positive person. So much so so that she’s even found a way to put an uplifting spin on cancer. Because, well, that’s just who she is. In 2015, Fuller was diagnosed with Stage 3 uterine cancer. She did her best to brace herself against the “storm,” as she calls her war with cancer, but she found she had no idea what to truly expect. After making it out on the other side, having learned what she learned through the school of hard knocks, she knew she wanted to help others through their own storms, those that, like her, were initially unprepared as to what to expect.
So, in 2016, Fuller opened Awakenings Boutique, an online store selling wigs (as well as other cancer-treatment related items such as lotions and nausea candies) to help meet the same needs that had plagued her during her own bouts of chemotherapy and radiation treatments. She recalls that she herself did not have the most pleasant experience when she went to get her own wig — a time that is already rife with unpleasantries. The less than desirable interaction left Fuller wanting to make the experience of others going through the hell of cancer as fun and enjoyable as possible. Her plan was a success. Fuller, soon after, opened a physical store in August of 2018 (also called Awakenings) which is located in Middletown.

“For myself, losing my hair was more traumatic for me than the cancer diagnosis,” Fuller says. “And this is common for probably 95 percent of women who are diagnosed with cancer. It’s the ultimate insult of cancer, you know, taking your hair. It was just very traumatic to lose my hair and have to wear a wig. But I truly found my strength when I decided to take my own hair. I cut it short, I shaved it. In that moment of shaving my head, I just became very fierce, determined. I promised cancer that I would be its forever worst nightmare.” Fuller was born in Troy, Ohio but has lived in Louisville since 2000. She’s been married for 15 years, has two-stepdaughters (ages 18 and 21) and an adopted four-year-old daughter. She had been working with Starbucks’ business development department for 10 years negotiating franchise contracts. Needless to say, she had (and still has) a lot on her plate when cancer came calling. She realizes that many people aren’t as fortunate as she was, that many don’t have the same level of support that she did. “Life still goes on even though you’re sick and it has to for a lot of people,” she says. “But there’s no reason anyone should have to do it alone, especially something that can be as disheartening as losing your hair and having to wear a wig. “By the time they get to me they’ve usually gone through so much,”
she adds. “And now they have to come in and pick out a wig and no one is looking forward to that. So I make that experience the most comfortable and fun as possible. As far as comfort goes, I shave my own head now which is kind of ironic because it was so traumatic for me to lose my hair, so I shave my head and wear the wigs myself so they come in here and they see that I don’t have any hair and that I wear the wigs. Immediately it just provides a level of comfort for them. It gives them confidence. They see me with no hair and they think ‘Okay, I can do this, she doesn’t have hair, maybe it’s not so bad.’ Or ‘Oh my gosh, she’s wearing a wig, I had no idea it was a wig.’ That’s probably one of the biggest things I do to support these people.”

Through her fight against cancer, one thing made itself apparent to Fuller — most people don’t know what to say or do for people who have been diagnosed with it. Particularly those who have never had any close friends or family to face down their own “storm.” So Fuller offers some advice to those who are wondering the best and most appropriate way to talk to people with cancer or facing chemo treatments and things you can do and get for them that serve a more practical and useful purpose. “When you’re going through this you get all kinds of things,” she says. “People are sending you all kinds of stuff and really wanting to support you, but what you find is you get a lot of items you can’t use. Flowers is a big one. Everyone wants to send flowers. You can’t even really have flowers around you, you can’t take them to the hospital, you can’t take them to chemo. They just sit there. There’s no use for them. Sympathy cards, like ‘I’m so sorry you’re sick.’ You just want to laugh. You kind of want to forget that you’re sick for a while. So you should really find out what they’re basic needs are. If they have children, maybe providing transportation to soccer practice or go to school or proving meals so the caregivers don’t have to cook. Forming a group of people that can just jump in and help out. If you’re out of town just find items that will help them, like the skin care or nausea candy or the snarky cards. Blankets, sockets, hats, beanies, scarves, you know, comfort products.” Fuller also stresses that the caregivers shouldn’t be overlooked. The obvious focus is on the individual fighting cancer, but the people taking care of them need help and support, too. “My mom and my husband were my caregivers, and they just struggled to keep up with my medicines and my surgeries and they kind of got overlooked through the cancer storm,” Fuller says. “They needed people to talk to and items as well to help me, like a cancer planner or books or something to help them be caregivers to me.” Fuller may be in a better, happier place today but there will always be those whose dark times have yet to come or whose silver linings might not be so silvery. She’s prepared though, and Fuller and her store are ready to offer respite from any gathering storm, no matter its severity. “When they’re in here, at Awakenings, I feel there’s light through the darkness,” she says. Awakenings Boutique is located at 12121 Shelbyville Road in Louisville. You can visit them online at awakenshop.com or give them a call at 502-382-4400 for more information. 42 / JEFFERSONTOWN MAGAZINE / MAY 2019 / JeffersontownMag.com
