EDGE It’s no secret that Dr. Brad Calobrace – along with the entire team at Calobrace & Mizuguchi Plastic Surgery Center and CaloSpa Rejuvenation Center – has been a leader in plastic surgery in Louisville. His lush East End office is absolutely singular and indeed highly respected throughout the community. The work Calobrace and his team are doing is without question of superior quality, but what so many do not know is how paramount the practice is on a national level – how truly significant it is for the frontier of plastic surgery. Calobrace isn’t only a world-class surgeon but also a man dedicated to education, expansion and wondrous innovation.

“I spend a lot of time in leadership in plastic surgery, and I think that adds to the credentials of this practice,” he affirms. “It’s something we don’t talk about a lot, but I think it comes back to the fact that what we do here is authentic and real. We want to be leaders in plastic surgery nationally and locally.”

describes, “Even if you don’t see Dr. Calobrace himself and you see one of the other physicians, you know they’re going to be great because he demands quality and he’s so meticulous. No matter who you’re going to run into there, they’re topnotch in their field.” Additionally, Calobrace’s eagerness to work non-surgical services into his practice has proven to be exceedingly wise from the very beginning. “One of the things I did right in building this practice was embracing non-surgical ways of rejuvenation,” he insists. “It was in the time of the economic downturn. Plastic surgery surgical services went down 10 percent in that period of time, but what did grow was plastic surgery non-surgical services. I just had this big building – this big investment, and plastic surgery was down. But we got busy here because

we had embraced the non-surgical. People couldn’t afford or didn’t want to ask off time for work to have a face-lift, but they could afford a little Botox, a little filler, a little CoolSculpting. So we continued to grow even in the midst of that time.” But the practice’s national status is also due to Calobrace’s unwavering dedication to new technology. “I think that’s what the practice is about in a lot of ways – being big enough that we can bring in new technologies and really provide Louisville the latest in technology,” he asserts. “In my physician statement from years ago, one of the ideas in it – because I trained in Los Angeles and was going to Louisville – was to bring the West and East Coasts into the Midwest and to bring the latest technologies here.”

Part of how Calobrace achieves that goal is by bringing in other associates who live up to his superbly high standards. Dr. Nana Mizuguchi came on as Dr. Calobrace’s first associate in 2006, and the practice is about to welcome a new addition: Dr. Chet Mays. Similarly ambitious to Calobrace, Mays has high aspirations that include operating on a national level with writing, publishing and educating. Calobrace is particularly excited that Mays, who arrives August 1, will be able to offer some insurance-covered services at the practice. As Lee Ann Tejeda, a patient from Lexington,

The office space at Calobrace & Mizuguchi Plastic Surgery Center and CaloSpa Rejuvenation Center is modern, warm and welcoming where guests can relax upon entering.

Calobrace graduated from Indiana University School of Medicine and completed general surgery and plastic surgery residencies at the University of Southern California. He then completed a cosmetic and breast surgery fellowship at the Institute of Aesthetic and Reconstructive Surgery with Dr. G. Patrick Maxwell. He has been in private practice since 1997 and is now a key opinion leader in breast surgery. He is involved at any major meeting about breast or plastic surgery, usually serving as a speaker or lecturer or performing live surgery.

Something that is working and is just an example of what sorts of things Calobrace is able to accomplish thanks to his drive and work ethic is Cellfina, a new service targeted at treating cellulite. “I used to say all the time that if I could find the cure for stretch marks and cellulite, I could retire because every woman has some level of one of those things,” he maintains. “And we’ve never really had great ways of treating them, so what’s nice about Cellfina is that it’s a technique to go through and obliterate some of those dimples that are cellulite. And it’s done under local, so no anesthesia – it’s really a procedure not a surgery. And it can complement liposuction and some of those other things that we do. But it’s really hitting an area we haven’t had good treatments for in the past, which is really exciting.” In addition to Calobrace’s pure dedication, the practice’s ability to be on the forefront of offering services like Cellfina speaks greatly to the com-

pany’s national importance and what it is bringing to Louisville and, more broadly, the Midwest. “When I go to national meetings, we absolutely are doing more than most of our colleagues in California and New York,” Calobrace contends. “There’s nothing that they know that we don’t know because we are leading the way. So the concept that you have to go to New York or the West Coast to really get the newest technologies is from the past – it’s not true at all.” And Calobrace has been able to achieve this magnitude of national importance because, on his deepest personal level, he is a man committed to growth. He never settles and always looks ahead to how he can make something better. “I think just me and my personality – once I’ve accomplished something, I’m looking for something else in front of me that I’m not sure I can do,” he explains. “It’s the doubt of knowing whether I can actually accomplish it mixed with trying to prove to myself that I can. But I must say, when I look at my career now, I sometimes see myself at meetings where everyone sees me as the opinion leader on breast surgery and I think, ‘I wonder how I got here.’” This undeniable dedication and commitment is evident in every area of his practice. For example, in the last three years, he has taken only one week

of vacation. And that relentless drive is absolutely evident to his patients. Lee Ann Tejeda first had a breast augmentation by Calobrace in 2005, and for the last 11 years has had nothing but positive experiences. “I go to them for other services such as Botox, fillers, those types of things – they’re very professional but yet understanding,” she exudes. “And their bedside manner is great. I can’t say enough good things about them.” Another patient, asked to remain anonymous, has similarly stellar things to say about her experience with Calobrace and his team. “I had a very bad experience with someone else in my very first venture into plastic surgery in 2011 – one of the worst experiences of my life,” she recounts. “So I went to Dr. Calobrace to ask him what he could do, and he told me he thought he could help. And I explained my situation, what I had gone through. So he knew that I was gun-shy and petrified of someone cutting into me again. But he helped me get through that. I came to a point where I had confidence in him and trusted him. And his staff is extremely on top of things. A doctor can be very, very good, but they also have to have very, very good staff. And everyone I’ve encountered there has been extremely professional, very personable and knowledgeable.”

And part of that is sorting out which new technologies the practice can implement permanently and which are extraneous. “We like to be early-adopters,” Calobrace describes, “which means we try to understand if new technology has real merit and then continue to use it – or get rid of it. Because not everything works.”


F e at u r e

What’s fortunate for the future of plastic surgery too is Calobrace’s passion for education – he will hopefully be able to impart his masterful ways onto the next generation. He is a faculty member at both UofL and UK and hosts fellows and residents with significant frequency. Furthermore, his practice often welcomes visitors from out of the country to observe the team in action and witness what goes into the making of a world-renowned plastic surgeon. Without question, Dr. Brad Calobrace is on the cutting edge of plastic surgery. He is not only incredibly intelligent but also charming and charismatic, the kind of guy you want to sit and talk with. A true passion for his work shines through in every conversation, as does his friendly and amiable spirit. The specific work does not drive Calobrace but rather the ambition – the ambition to be a leader, to be a pioneer, to be the absolute best. And with his practice having situated itself so prominently in the national plastic surgery landscape, Louisville is fortunate to have not only such a remarkable and renowned surgeon in town but also a practice that speaks simultaneously to the knowledge of the present and the splendor of the future.

Profile

I’ve always struggled with body image, and getting my breast augmentation was one way to boost my confidence. After my last procedure, I almost cried when I looked in the mirror for the first time, even being swollen and everything. As far as my confidence – my husband notices a difference, my family notices a difference. I just have that little extra funk about me! Lee Ann Tejeda

Dr. Calobrace makes you look natural. And what that does is it makes me look on the outside a little more how I feel in my head. My mind doesn’t register that I’m 65. We look in the mirror and we see what the aging process is doing, but in our heads, we’re never quite there. Anonymous

A THERAPEUTIC TOUCH

CALOSPA

Some procedures result in benefits to your body that are felt but not necessarily seen. At A Therapeutic Touch, located on Brownsboro Road, certified therapists perform a variety of specialized massage procedures. One popular choice is the lymph massage, which is designed to promote the healthy flow of lymph, the clear fluid which supports immune system function by flowing through the body and sequestering foreign material like viruses. Proponents believe that the massage eliminates blockages in the lymphatic system while also helping to pull out toxins. This type of massage is generally very gentle. According to practitioners, lymph massage reduces swelling and clears the lymphatic system so that lymph can move freely through the body. The massage also stimulates the flow of other interstitial fluids in the body, theoretically encouraging the fluid to pull out toxins so that they can be sequestered by the lymph system. Lymph massage can be used as a tool for general wellbeing, so it is the perfect procedure to add to your regimen of clearing your body of toxins and getting yourself ready to take on spring and Derby.

From individual consultations to state-of-the-art surgical facilities to a world-class medical and day spa, Calobrace & Mizuguchi Plastic Surgery Center and CaloSpa Rejuvenation Center provides the perfect complement of care with innovative, soothing and luxurious spa treatments. Body contouring procedures have been a growing focus for the practice with the newest procedure Cellfina™, which treats the primary structural cause of cellulite – the connective bands woven throughout fat in the thighs and buttocks causing the puckering you see on the surface of the skin. Cellfina is an effective treatment that produces precise, long-lasting results with minimal downtime. Fat reduction treatments like CoolSculpt use a non-invasive applicator to deliver precise controlled cooling to the treatment area. Treatments last between one to two hours. Patients can have additional procedures for more pronounced effects if they desire. TruSculpt is a breakthrough Radio Frequency treatment device that delivers deep-heat to targeted body areas for sculpting, tightening and fat-reduction. Each treatment maintains a high patient satisfaction rate and is non-surgical. If you are interested in learning more, call a CaloSpa specialist today at 502.814.3000 or visit calospa.com.

Peet, the woman who would become his life’s partner of nearly 63 years. He was committed to the future of his family and made that future possible through 36 years of employment with General Electric as a designer for home appliances. With his wife’s and family’s support, he was able to pursue evening and weekend study in order to complete a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree from the University of Louisville by the time he turned 40. This launched a passion to engage in the creation of art, which embraced many mediums but finally found a comfortable niche in watercolor. Bruce’s accomplishments in this media were prolific. He was immensely talented, capturing subjects and scenes with graceful gestures of line, brush and color. Bruce was most fond of painting Bay area landscapes on site while in the company of his fellow painting friends. His paintings were often exhibited and recognized. Bruce was dedicated to his family, not just his wife and children, but the greater family as a whole. The family meant the world to him. He was happiest in the presence of any and every family member. His efforts behind the camera to document the lives of his friends and family are legendary. He leaves us with a priceless record that spans decades. Bruce now joins the company of his loving mother, Esther Presley, and stepmother, Marie Ruark, as well as his father, Lewis Henry Ruark. He will also re-join his brothers, Rodger Ruark and Lewis Edward Ruark, as well as his grandson, Adam Ruark. Bruce bids farewell to his loving wife, Moselle Peet Ruark of Pleasanton; daughter,Janet Ruark and spouse Mohamed Nada of Dublin; son, Daniel Ruark; and spouse, Cristina Naces Ruark; his grandchildren, Cassandra and Lucas of Sausalito, California; daughter, Ruth Ruark; and spouse, Tom Ramsey of Piedmont; his grandchildren, Olivia and Abigail; brother; Robert Ruark of Alameda; and sister, Chlo Ann Kris of Loudon, Tennessee. He will be missed by all who knew him and shared even a moment of the arc

of his lifetime. Services were held March 20, 2016 at Graham-Hitch Funeral Home, 4167 First Street, in Pleasanton, California, with private burial at Mountain View Cemetery in Oakland, California.

Lois Louise (Schoenbachler) Theiler Lois Louise (Schoenbachler) Theiler, 98, passed away on March 16, 2016. She was a member of St. Peter the Apostle Catholic Church. She was preceded in death by her husband, Elmer W. Theiler. Survivors include her daughters, Sharon Stevens, Denise Howard, Donna Russell (Dale) and Phyllis Howard; sons, Steve (Gail) and Gary Theiler; 11 grandchildren and several great and great-greatgrandchildren. Her service will be on Tuesday, 10 a.m. at St. Peter the Apostle Catholic Church with burial in Evergreen Cemetery. Visitation will be on Monday from 2-8 p.m. at the W. G.

John L. “Jack” Zehnder Jr. John L. "Jack" Zehnder Jr., 98, of Louisville passed away Saturday March 12th, 2016 surrounded by his family. Jack was born July 17, 1917 in Louisville. He served as a Lieutenant in the US Army Air Corps and flew as navigator in the B-25 during World War II. Jack was the owner of John L. Zehnder Co. Mechanical Contractors founded by his father in 1906, and a licensed Kentucky master plumber. Jack served as Trustee of Plumbers Local 107 Pension Health and Welfare Trust Fund for 33 years. He was two-time past

Jack was a lifetime horse racing enthusiast, owner and breeder of Thoroughbreds under Lucky Trio Stable for over 50 years and member of KY Thoroughbred Owners and Trainers Assn., KY Derby Museum and Churchill Downs Turf Club. Jack loved flying his private airplane, fishing off the dock, playing tennis, gardening, dancing and he was an avid reader of murder mystery novels until his final days. Jack was a tenacious seeker of knowledge. He was quick to listen and slow to speak. Unselfishly, he shared his wisdom to all of those whom he touched. Jack willingly extended his loyalty and dedication for his family to the many who were blessed to cross his path. Fittingly, many knew him and affectionately called him Daddy. Jack will be remembered for his kind and generous acts of philanthropy and his many contributions to local organizations of Louisville and vast number of charities.

REALLY GOOD. remembered in that same light. Everything might hurt right now, but fear not, there are plenty of reasons to be excited about the months ahead that represent that dark, vast void between the end of basketball season and the start of football season. Here are seven reasons not to jump:

The Cards are ranked in the nation’s top 10, have four legitimate first-round MLB prospects on their roster and are playing with the brutal, recent memory of falling one run short of the College World Series a year ago. Even if baseball isn’t your thing, UofL is going to be a major player in the pursuit of one of the highest-profile amateur championships in American sports. That should demand your attention during the first part of the summer.

KENTUCKY LOST IN THE FIRST WEEKEND On the surface, this seems petty. I’m of the belief that fans should never derive more joy from their rivals losing than they get from their own team having success, and the Lou-

spring practice this week. Afternoon practices on March 29-30 and April 5-6 will be open to the public, and then, the team will play its annual spring game on Saturday, April 16 at 1 p.m. Football in April is always beautiful, but it’s even more aesthetically pleasing when it forces you to dream big thoughts about football in September-December. LOUISVILLE BASKETBALL OFFSEASON HYPE In stark contrast to last offseason, the months ahead are likely to include many national college basketball writers who believe Rick Pitino’s Louisville Cardinals are going to be one of the best teams in the country for the 2016-17 season. The hype train actually got rolling last week when advanced statistical guru Ken Pomeroy revealed that he currently has UofL as his No. 1 team for next season. He also has Kentucky at No. 2, which would certainly make for some interesting summer discussion around these parts. DRINKING BEER OUTSIDE This has nothing to do with University of Louisville athletics, it’s just a fun thing to do. After the last few months of Cardinal sports, you deserve to drink beer outside a lot this spring and summer. Don’t let anyone tell you differently. VJ KING One of the biggest reasons for Louisville fans to be excited about next basketball season is incoming freshman VJ King, who last month was named as the program’s first McDonald’s All-American since 2011. Fans will have an opportunity to watch King compete in both that All-American game as well as the prestigious Jordan Brand Classic Game in the months ahead. 2016-17 IS GOING TO BE BETTER Yes, there are almost certainly still a few negative headlines on the horizon for the men’s basketball program, but it’s more likely than not that the worst (a March void of any postseason basketball) is now behind us. UofL has one of the most exciting college football players in the country in Lamar Jackson, as well as a loaded schedule that will keep the fan base thoroughly entertained for 12 weeks. The basketball side of things appears to be equally promising, and the schedule just as challenging and entertaining.

Soon, however, DePaul found a rhythm and commanded the game after a three-pointer from Megan Podkowa. The Cards attempted a comeback, but Hines-Allen’s potential game-winning point was dashed after a charge call, ending UofL’s dreams of a Sweet 16 appearance.

Though free-throw shooting was not the culprit (who wouldn’t take 15 of 19 from this team?), Willis, Jamal Murray, Tyler Ulis and DomCatnip inique Hawkins each left a point bonking off the rim. Those were STEVE supposed to have been Kentucky’s KAUFMAN reliable free-throw shooters.

game, of course, was Murray’s shooting woes.

22

A team relying on outside shooting had concerned me. It can go south, and it did. Murray shot seven-for-18, which isn’t horrible, but onefor-9 from beyond the arc was devastating. Even when a shooter like Murray is missing, the instructions from his coach are usually to keep shooting; the shots will fall. And I’m sure that’s what John Calipari advised. The problem was they didn’t fall. The other problem was it closed out any offensive balance. Murray and Ulis took 38 of the team’s 57 field goal attempts for 43 of its 67 points.

been expected to create match-up problems for slow and clumsy big men, took only five. Skal Labissiere, who seemed to have found his role as a medium-range shooter of sweet jump shots and soft hooks, took six. They made a combined five. Too often, Kentucky drives to the basket resulted in charging calls. Suddenly, for the first time all season that I can remember, the officials became protective of defenders getting a shoulder or forearm into their chests, less-concerned with the dreaded chicken wing. To be fair, they called it the other way too. I won’t make a claim that the officials took the game away because there were so many other things that went wrong. But players have to know how a game is going to be called. Everyday parts of the game suddenly become violations. I don’t want this to sound like crybaby talk, but Tyler Ulis simply does not foul out of games. Not because he gets superstar calls and Marcus Lee tries to stop and IU score by Yogi Ferrell. non-calls as Ben Simmons once complained, but because he’s too good, too careful and too smart a defensive player. Yogi Ferrell did not outplay him and did not foul him out. The referees did. Okay, forgive me one complaint about the officiating. The game had a surreal feel to it right from the beginning. It almost seemed that Kentucky was trying to figure out winning basketball instead of just playing its game. The substitutions and combinations on the court often felt unbalanced and unproductive to me. You’d think that by the 36th game of the season, a team would have its rhythm in place, but that wasn’t the sense on Saturday. It all seemed kind of frantic, as if Cal kept reconsidering what might work. But when you have Dominique Hawkins getting as many minutes as Derek Willis, you’re giving up some offense – especially when Marcus Lee and Skal and other non-contributors are on the court at the same time. And, yes, all this would be moot if the normal Jamal Murray had shown up. He kept running and circling, driving and pulling up, rushing off-balance shots, just to get something going – but we’d seen him do that all season. Bad Murray shots are not necessarily bad shots. They often do go in. And good or bad, that’s the Kentucky offense Calipari brought to this year’s dance. It was a patchwork affair from the start, when Skal was found wanting as the anchor of both offense and defense. In retrospect, maybe Calipari should have worked harder to convince Dakari Johnson to come back. That decision worked out for neither one of them. So the 2015-16 Kentucky team bowed out of the NCAA tournament earlier than any other Calipari tourney team. And it feels empty this week for Big Blue Nation. Only the hopes of a really great recruiting team for next year will get the Nation through another summer. But this season was also an opportunity to watch Tyler Ulis play. And despite ups and downs and a disappointing finish, that will remain a memorable privilege. VT PHOTOS BY VICTORIA GRAFF

Indiana beat Kentucky 73-67 on Saturday night in the second round of the NCAA Tournament in Des Moines, Iowa. It was the earliest NCAA exit by a John Calipari-coached UK team. In five previous NCAA appearances as the Cats coach, his teams had never failed to make it to the Elite Eight. The win was Indiana’s first over Kentucky in the NCAA Tournament since 1973. Freshman Thomas Bryant led Indiana with 19 points. Tyler Ulis had a game-high 27 for Kentucky. The Hoosiers play North Carolina on Friday night in Philadelphia in the Sweet 16. Here is a sampling of some of the post game-reaction from the Hoosiers and the Cats. At the under-eight timeout, the game was tied at 50, and you scored six straight, even with Yogi Ferrell on the bench. What was the key to that run?

When you fell behind by seven with a couple of minutes left, was there a sense of pressure to get back in it?

Ulis: It wasn’t pressure, but it was a little more urgency. You had to Taylor’s 10 make things happen no matter how Tom Crean: Is that when Thomyou do it.

How important was it for you to get a chance? Willis: Even this year, Coach Cal, said “Derek, do you want to give up your minutes?” I said, “Honestly, I don’t care. I want to win.” I want to win and do whatever I need to do to get a championship because that’s all that matters to me. Once we hit that, then it’ll be more personal for me, but I want to do that for the people of Kentucky and all the UK fans. VT

Stars and Sleepers on the Road to Derby 142

could have been hampered by an outside post position.

Nyquist’s connections insist the fiveweek gap between the Florida Derby and the big race on May 7 at Churchill Downs makes the former an ideal prep for the latter. But a $1 million bonus offered to a graduate of Fasig-Tipton’s 2-year-old sales who also wins the Florida Derby – and Nyquist is eligible for that check – does nothing to diminish the allure of the cross-country trip. While looking ahead to the prospect of Mohaymen and Nyquist looking each other in the eye somewhere in the Gulfstream Park homestretch, there’s still plenty of time and opportunity for developing 3-year-olds to earn spots in the Kentucky Derby starting gate. So take a look at the “Road to the Kentucky Derby” point standings at KentuckyDerby.com for the status of the current major Derby 142 players.

stakes races in his most-recent outings. He’s a son of the sizzling sire, Uncle Mo, and there could be a handful of those in the Derby 142 starting gate. Remember that running a winless horse in the Kentucky Derby is not usually a good thing. The last maiden to win the Derby was Brokers Tip in 1933, and Laoban’s last to get a win before Derby Day will likely remain Aqueduct’s Wood Memorial. Matt King Coal (0) – The Linda Rice-trained son of Cool Coal Man has yet to start in a stakes race or compete outside of New York but won his last two races over promising rivals. He figures to attract considerable attention in his expected stakes debut at the Wood Memorial. Outwork (20) – Narrowly beaten by his Todd Pletcher-trained stablemate Destin in the Tampa Bay Derby (GIII), this homebred son of Uncle Mo runs for Mike Repole, who also owned, bred and raced his white-hot sire. The colt has been strong in all three career starts, and his dam is by Empire Maker, an unlucky runner-up to Funny Cide in the 2004 Kentucky Derby. Star Hill (10) – This son of Elusive Quality was a distant, but promising, third to Team Pletcher in the Tampa Bay Derby. He could show significant improvement off that outing for veteran Kentucky trainer Rusty Arnold. Tom’s Ready (4) – His seventh-place run in the Risen Star (GII) came with a big excuse as he was forced to run wide over a Fair Grounds track strongly-biased toward horses racing near the rail. He’s a 15-1 morning line risk in Saturday’s Louisiana Derby for trainer Dallas Stewart, who saddled longshots Golden Soul (34-1 in 2013) and Commanding Curve (37-1 in 2014) for runner-up finishes in the Kentucky Derby. Suddenbreakingnews (10) – He finished fifth as the favorite behind Cupid in the Rebel, but his earlier stretch-running win in Oaklawn’s Southwest (GIII) should be his race to remember. He broke from the 14-hole, and the list of Oaklawn winners over the years who have started from that, or a similar outside gate, is a very quick read. Unbridled Outlaw (2) – His troubled third in last fall’s Iroquois (GIII) remains, in my view, one of the more impressive runs by a 2-year-old at Churchill Downs in 2016. The Romans trainee returned from winter break with a very good runner-up finish against older horses at Oaklawn Park. I love it when young 3-year-olds compete against older rivals, and this resurgent colt should be a presence at strong odds in either the Arkansas Derby or Keeneland’s Toyota Blue Grass (GI).

“I think you can accomplish a lot of things if you have the gift and the ability to swim well, but it is more important to represent your school, more important to have character and to be show good sportsmanship,” Luebbe adds. But when it comes to establishing the program’s overall mission, he says: “We are more interested in giving them skills that will lead to life, and swimming is a good dress rehearsal for the challenges that you will meet. But we just want them to have a closeknit bond with fellow athletes and to be good representatives of our school. If they do that, then everything else will fall into place. I always challenge them to do that, and they always seem to rise to the occasion.” There are many months until the 2016 winter season begins, but Sacred Heart will surely be anticipating next year as they look foward to defending their crown and trying to extend their championship streak to five straight years. VT

For a team that had swimmers return for their senior year, the only challenge this season was finding that go-to leader to unify the troops. Last season, Leah Stevens, a sensational swimmer, was their catalyst. After she graduated and went on to Stanford, someone needed to step up and carry the leadership torch. It’s a good problem to have when there’s a team full of experienced swimmers. Instead of one primary leader for the team, Luebbe says the seniors came together collectively to give the team that spark they needed to become state champions once more. “We knew we had a special group. We returned much of the team that was dominant for the PHOTO BY RANDY WHETSTONE JR.

DEAR ABBY: I find myself sometimes wanting to commit the most heinous of crimes. The desire to do this has been with me my entire life. I was sexually abused by my mother and oldest brother. While that’s no excuse, I understand why I may be the way I am.

When the national anthem is being sung live, Dear Abby is it disrespectful to the performer to At 51, I have never committed any sing along? Some people who sing JEANNE act against a young girl, but the desire along are off-key or sing so loud they is clearly there for me. The issue drown out the performance for the PHILLIPS before me is that if I seek help for this unfortunate attendees seated near problem, those who can provide it are required them. – AUDREY IN ARIZONA by law in this state to report me. DEAR AUDREY: Our national anthem is How am I to overcome these urges when no matter what I do, I am considered guilty? – ANONYMOUS IN AMERICA

DEAR ANONYMOUS: You should be discussing these feelings with a licensed mental health professional. If fear that you will be arrested is what is holding you back, please be aware that if the urge or feeling is not directed at anyone in particular, a therapist is not required to report what you are confiding. However, if there is a direct threat toward a specific individual, it must be reported, even if it has not yet occurred.

notoriously difficult to sing, as many professionals have discovered to their embarrassment when they tried to perform it publicly. At large events during which the anthem is played, it is not uncommon for many of the audience members to be so filled with patriotic fervor that they join in. If memory serves me, the volume is usually so loud that no one can hear what’s coming out of their mouths.

To the best of my knowledge, no rule of etiquette forbids anyone from singing along with Beyoncé, Lady Gaga, Garth Brooks or Renee

I would like to thank the many people who take the extra time to open a door for me or hold it open longer so I can get through. I am grateful for their help, and being offered a place ahead of them in the checkout line is beyond appreciated. Thank you, thank you. However, may I offer a suggestion to those helpful folks, often robust men, who want to do more? If I look unsteady, please DO NOT grab me by the arm and try to steer me like an empty bicycle! Instead, hold your arm out for me to lean on and allow me to do the navigating. It may be slow, but with your help, it will be safe. – CARYL IN NEW MEXICO DEAR CARYL: That’s an excellent suggestion, and one I hope helpful readers of both sexes will pay attention to. ••• Dear Abby is written by Abigail Van Buren, also known as Jeanne Phillips, and was founded by her mother, Pauline Phillips.

Art [Squared]

The Louisville Visual Art Association upholds a century-long commitment to the community to improve quality of life through arts education, community outreach and direct support to artists. Their work spans beyond the walls of their home in the Portland neighborhood through outreach programs in schools and community centers as well as fine arts education classes for children. In order to support these philanthropic efforts, the LVA brings to us Art [Squared] Anonymous Art Show, taking place Saturday, April 9 through Sunday, April 10 at the Louisville Visual Art Association located at 1538 Lytle St. To learn more about this event, we sat down with Meredith Cunningham, LVA board member and chair for the Art [Squared] committee. Tell us about Art [Squared] Anonymous Art Sale and how it came to fruition? The Art [Sqaured] Anonymous Art Sale began as a unique fundraising opportunity for Louisville Visual Art’s leading education program, Children’s Fine Art Classes (CFAC). What makes this event special is how it brings artists from all over the city and showcases their work together in a collective effort to give back to CFAC. Every piece is displayed anonymously, without any signatures or labels to acknowledge the creator of the piece, and they are all priced the same at $100 each. This allows people to appreciate a work based purely on the work’s merit alone. So in theory, a young CFAC student could be hanging next to a renowned and accomplished professional and no one would could tell the difference! People are able to find one they intrinsically value, buy it for themselves and support CFAC at the same time. M A R C H 2 4 , 2 0 1 6 • V O I C E -T R I B U N E . C O M

What was the selection process for the art that will be sold? We are not exclusive when it comes to who can submit a piece for Art [Squared]. We welcome any and all artists willing to contribute their time and efforts to raise money for CFAC. We also welcome all forms and mediums too.

port the CFAC program, which in turn, helps to further art education and provide artist opportunities for students. Art [Squared] also gives artists the chance to showcase their work and in turn, allows the community the chance to see just how amazingly talented and vast this city’s art community truly is. In what way can the community support this event? The best way the community can support Art [Squared] is simply coming to the sale, finding a piece that speaks to them and donating $100 to CFAC so they can take it home! Any big plans for the future of Art [Squared]? This past year has brought a lot of positive change for Louisville Visual Art. We have re-branded, relocated to an awesome facility in the Portland neighborhood and have seen consistent growth while expanding our outreach further into the city.

Spicy and expertly nuanced, it’s no wonder customers are flocking to this outstanding dish. “We’re trying to be a classy breakfast place,” Johnson details. “So we took the classic breakfast and escalated that ... I call it a traditional menu with a flair.” For example, yes, Zeggz has the traditional French toast, waffles and pancakes, but they all have a unique – and sensational – spin on them. The French toast is actually a delightfully indulgent créme brulee French toast with seared brown sugar on one side. A waffle can be served banana nut style with bananas and pecans sauteed in a bourbon caramel sauce. And what’s more, all these breadbased items can be made gluten-free, a remarkable feat that is sure to please even the most restricted of diets. On the horizon for Zeggz are some significant technological advancements that will only make the eatery stand out even more. Apps for both iOS and Android are currently in development, and online ordering is about to launch. For Mothers’ Day, Zeggz will offer Breakfast in Bed for mom – stay tuned for details. Beyond that, massive expansion is the true aspiration. Johnson explains that the company is looking primarily at areas within an hour

ual issues someone may be facing when they walk into a store are.” As Jen sat me in my first product – the aptly named Perfect Chair by Human Touch – I could not only see but also feel that she definitely knew what she was talking about. The Perfect Chair is derived from a concept developed by NASA called zero-gravity seating. No, you won’t be launched into space, but the chair does employ scientific principles to adjust your position so that your center of gravity is such that there is no tension or pressure on your back. “The most obvious health benefits of the chair are that it minimizes gravity’s strain on your back and elevates your feet above the heart, improving your circulation. The chair also helps extend your lung capacity, allowing for deeper and more relaxed breathing,” she says. The chair was already working wonders, relaxing me and making me eager to hear more, so Jen and I engaged in a curtailed version of a common customer assessment. Jen learned that, like most Americans, I spend a lot of time at a desk, so she made it her next priority to show me a model of their office cockpit concept. When at work, I notice that, despite hearing my mother’s voice in my head shouting, “Stand up straight,” I still succumb from time to time and lean forward, which, over time, is not so great for my neck, back and pelvis. One solution presented to me was the Breeza, a stylish office-type chair with ergonomic support. The Core-Flex™ seat option was recommended to me as it is split so that a variety of balanced, natural movement is possible for your legs, pelvis and core. I only sat in it for a moment or two, but I could definitely tell a difference. Similar to a medicine ball, you can even use this chair to work your core muscles while sitting. That’s a

workout I can get behind! Whether it’s at home, the office, your bed or even in your car, Relax the Back has something to improve the strain on your back while sitting or sleeping. They even sell inversion tables, apparatuses popularly used by athletes and the military to eliminate the tremendous strains on their bodies by inverting and using gravity to unwind the tension on the spinal column. I’m normally not a fan of being held upside-down, but I have to admit that I could literally feel my spine uncoiling like a spring that has been taut for too long. My favorite – and I’m sure the favorite of many – was the DreamWave by Inada. “Inada is a Japanese company, whose culture has a long tradition with massage,” says Jen. “The chair has sophisticated sensors that scan your body and customize each massage session to your

individual back profile by locating Shiatsu points.” It took every ounce of willpower I possessed to not be lulled to sleep after just 15 minutes in the chair. “Masseurs and masseuses have said that this chair could replace them,” says Jen. It’s not something we often think about, but those seconds, minutes and hours of improper sitting do add up, and the long-term, cumulative effect on our bodies is potent. People owe it to themselves to head on over to Relax the Back and at least educate themselves. Who knows? You may even unwind, enjoy yourself and purchase the tools necessary to living a spine-pain-free life. Whatever back issues you currently or will someday face, Relax the Back has the knowledge, expertise, tools and connections with professional chiropractors to assuage them. VT

Originally, all the trim work in this part of the house was gray, and the overall effect was a dark and dingy atmosphere. To give the

“The house belonged to my grandfather and grandmother, and they both passed in the last two years,” says Hobbs, “It was built in the ’50s, but they had lived here since 1968.” According to Hobbs, who is an interior designer, the home has had extensive renovations and additions in the past, but it all started with a beautiful-but-basic, ranch-style residence. As I walk in and almost immediately see a well-maintained grandfather clock, I can tell that there is a quaint charm to the place. “I came in here, and I wanted to pay homage to my grandmother because she had impeccable taste.

I also decided to play with the reclaimed barn wood in the beams since it’s back in style.” The family room also features a handsome stone fireplace with a fully operational Buck Stove that can heat the entire home. “It’s shabby, but it’s gotten a lot of use over the years,” relates Hobbs proudly. “It’s wood-burning and has a blower. I did have to put a new HVAC unit in. They don’t get gas out here, so it was on oil and I had two separate systems for the two parts of the house. I converted them to electric heat pumps this summer.”

Hobbs had a hand in remodeling or redesigning each of the five bedrooms and four and a half baths with help from her aunt, Kristin Guy, keeping original materials in place when possible and completely updating when absolutely necessary. This is all without nary a peep about the equally impressive exterior of the home. “There is a historic mill in the area, so all the homes are required to maintain at least

In late fall, we started planting again.” These efforts have afforded the home relaxing front and back porches, a fire pit, a picturesque gazebo and even a pool. The work was surely back-breaking, but its fruits are breathtaking. Clearly this project has been a labor of love near and dear to Hobbs’ heart, and she can rest assured that her grandmother’s legacy and impeccable taste shall remain intact for people to enjoy for generations to come.

‘10 Cloverfield Lane’ Is Sheer Suspense

W

hile the 2008 film “Cloverfield” was only so appreciated, I was in awe of its then unconventional existence as a disaster movie that managed to be filmed in secrecy, thanks to a cast of relative no-names who didn’t draw attention and a production style that hid the scale of its special effects budget. Its “Blair Witch”-approach to a monster attack movie felt like a reinvention of the genre. Sadly, many movies attempting to take on the found-footage approach didn’t manage to improve on the believability of a protagonist in peril who insists on filming everything.

chained to a pipe. She then meets her supposed captor, played by the great John Goodman, who reveals to her that she is in a large fallout shelter of his design and that he saved her from the accident shortly before world-ending events took place. After being unchained, she meets one other guest in the shelter – played with the subtle versatility of John Gal-

Reasonably, the two young guests of this scary old guy share some doubt that he is telling the truth about the horrors outside, and the movie that follows is a wonderful suspense machine starring a heroine trying to find clarity as to which source of danger is more threatening: above or below? Like many artists working under Abrams’ guidance, Dan Trachtenberg’s first feature film has a loosely structured story that acts heavier than it really is, but the characters and atmosphere are wonderfully bold from its seductive beginning to its somewhat hackneyed climax. Nonetheless, “10 Cloverfield Lane” is still very effective entertainment with well-written dialogue from first-time feature screenwriters Josh Campbell and Matthew Stuecken – with the help of “Whiplash” writer/director Damien Chazelle. The performances are also potent – particularly from Goodman who may be doing his creepiest work since “Barton Fink.”

None of this applies to “10 Cloverfield Lane,” which is not a found-footage film, nor is it a sequel. Producer J.J. Abrams insists that when you see the name “Cloverfield,” you need to think of it as part of an anthology of films as opposed to a series. Like the last movie, it was made in secrecy, but this time, the cast is more reputable, the setting is rural, the atmosphere is claustrophobic and the filmmaking style is skillfully traditional. The lovely Mary Elizabeth Winstead takes the lead as a young woman who – after a car accident while traveling down a country road – wakes up in a subterranean room M A R C H 2 4 , 2 0 1 6 • V O I C E -T R I B U N E .

This isn’t a major accomplishment, but it follows in the tradition of thoughtful B-movie thrillers from another era. And its slow pace is justified throughout its relatively short runtime. Considering how much garbage studios normally dump at the beginning of the year, this is yet another decent movie for the start of 2016. I wouldn’t mind if Abrams has another “Cloverfield” entry planned for the near future. VT

Writing was my first passion. My dad had a typewriter when I was growing up, and I used to beg to type stories on it. I even used to sneak around and use it when he was asleep. I never wrote plays though. Around third or fourth grade, the drama bug bit me, and I became obsessed with acting. I forgot about writing for a long time. It was always something I enjoyed, but it wasn’t until a few years ago, when I started going to 10-minute play festivals around town, that I thought, “Hey, I can do this.” I merged my two passions, and it sort of took off from there. How did you know this script was potentially an award-winning script? Ha. I didn’t. My whole playwriting career – I guess I can call it that now – has almost not happened at a few different points.

icism, and I never would have taken this chance without the opportunities they have given me. I know you have more of an acting background – how does it feel to receive a national honor for writing? It’s really exciting! It’s a validation to be sure, but it’s also a call to write more and work harder. Being at the conference was exhilarating because I got to meet professionals and academics who were at all sorts of different places in their careers, and they were legitimately excited about my work. I want to accept the challenge and write the plays that I want to see or perform in. I don’t want to stop acting either. I don’t want to say that I have the same ability at all, because the comparison seems ridiculous to me at this point, but I really see myself as a sort of Sam Shepard, someone who is known for captivating performances on stage as well as a creator of those opportunities for others. What’s the next step with this script and your playwriting career in general? I received so many positive comments at the conference and the staged reading I had in town. Craig Pospisil, the playwright who gave me my critique, had a lot of good things to say as well, but he also had some really useful criticism. I’m actually glad I didn’t look him up before my critique because his Wikipedia page is intimidating. Things can always be better, so I definitely want to rework or add some things to my play. After that, I already have an arrangement with Acting Against Cancer to produce the play as a special event in spring 2017 with Michael Drury from Pandora Productions directing. I’ll also be writing a new play for Pandora that will be part of a new series they’re offering. Details soon! It’s an exciting time, and I have a lot of ideas. I want to keep the ball rolling.

PUZZLES

pets of the week Thelma and Louise are a pair of bonded 3-year-old beagle mixes. They came to us through a transfer from another shelter. Thelma and Louise are little snuggle bugs who much prefer cuddling on the couch to walks and play. They can be enticed with squeaker toys though – they follow the squeaky sound intently and care for their toys like babies. Do you have room in your heart and home for two dogs like Thelma and Louise? They are spayed, micro-chipped and up-to-date on their vaccinations. Come meet them at the Kentucky Humane Society’s East Campus, 1000 Lyndon Lane in Louisville. Beautiful Callie is a 5-year-old European shorthair mix with a gorgeous calico coat. Callie absolutely loves strokes on her cheeks and will close her eyes and purr for such attention. This sweet girl came to the Kentucky Humane Society when her owner could no longer care for her, and she can start out just a little shy. However, softly calling her and stroking her cheeks will bring her around. Callie is spayed, micro-chipped, up-to-date on her vaccinations and hoping to find a forever home. Could it be with you? Callie is waiting for you at our adoption center in the St. Matthews Feeders Supply, 4600 Shelbyville Road in Louisville.
