Louisville Life meets “encourager,” top chef, green thumb

For Release: 2010-04-23 14:19:00

The next edition of Louisville Life meets a popular public speaker, a local chef helping people find work and the family that operates Louisville’s oldest garden center, among other topics. The program, hosted by Candyce Clifft, airs Thursday, May 13 at 7:30/6:30 pm CT on KET2; Saturday, May 15 at 7/6 pm CT on KET; and Sunday, May 16 at noon/11 am CT on KET2.

First, Liz Curtis Higgs came up through the ranks of Louisville radio before pursuing a career as an author and public speaker. A self-identified “encourager,” Higgs has found success with her Bad Girls of the Bible book series, as well as being in-demand on the public speaking circuit. Louisville Life talks to Higgs about her latest book and the Louisville speaking engagement with former vice-presidential candidate Sarah Palin.

Then, viewers meet Chef Timothy Tucker and visit the Salvation Army’s Culinary Training Program, which has received national recognition. Chef Tucker teaches people the skills they need to re-enter the workforce through the kitchen. His unique program has earned him the honor of being named Manager of the Year by the Kentucky Restaurant Association.

Also, as Memorial Day approaches, Et Cetera spotlights the Louisville Memorial Auditorium. For 80 years, the auditorium has helped to entertain Louisvillians, hosting an impressive list of famous faces. The facility also houses some hidden gems, among them a rare, historic pipe organ.

Next, Candyce interviews Craig Buthod, director of the Louisville Free Public Library. The Library Journal recently awarded Buthod the 2010 Librarian of the Year Award.

Finally, Louisville Life catches up with Matt Gardiner and learns about his family owned and operated business, Boone Gardiner Garden Center. Louisville’s oldest garden center and landscaping company, the Gardiner family opened the business in 1899.

Louisville Life is a KET production, produced and directed by Gary Pahler. Jayne McClew is producer/writer; associate producer is Kelli Brodersen.
