With spring officially in season, you can expect to see more and more bikes around town. In fact, whether you realize it or not, you may see bikes collected by Kentucky Refugee Ministries and provided to any of its hundreds of refugee families. Louisville has a wonderful public transportation system, but it can, understandably, be confusing to newcomers. The KRM bikes provide a quick, environmentally friendly, and inexpensive way to ensure that its clients can get to doctor’s appointments, jobs, the grocery, and beyond, aided by 28 miles of dedicated or shared bike lanes that connect downtown to the University of Louisville, Crescent Hill, Germantown, the Highlands and Portland. The KRM is doing the good work not only of helping new refugees adapt, but of helping them succeed in life, and enjoy this wonderful city we share.

who must find his way to safety after being accidentally deserted by his unit during The Troubles in Northern Ireland. A must-see, according to him.

As you may have already noticed, this week is our Health and Fitness special themed issue. We introduce you to several professionals who can help you achieve greater physical, and perhaps mental, confidence and wellness.

Farrah Wigand, registered dietitian at Norton Weight Management; Chris Thompson, director of fitness and health at Heuser Health; Laura Spaulding, president of Yoga East; and Dr. Andrew Baer of Baer Chiropractic & Active Release Technique have all taken time to share their insights into how you can create a culture of health and wellness while also helping you discover the causes of physical issues, strengthen your overall physique and implement programs and routines to achieve your goals.

With the wider world in mind, Carla Sue takes us with her from Phuket, Thailand through the Bay of Bengal to beautiful and complex Sri Lanka. Despite a 30-year civil war that ended just five years ago, Sri Lanka offers gorgeous natural features, and stunning wildlife, along with a rich historical culture. Read all about her adventures in this week’s Party Line. This week’s film review takes a look overseas as well, as our resident film buff, Bennett, examines “71,” the highly-acclaimed debut film of director Yann Demange.

This cinematic journey is about a young British soldier

In sports, Mike Rutherford takes a look at UofL’s phenomenal win over Northern Iowa, in which the Cards played perhaps their best game of the season. In CatNip, Steve Kaufman debunks the criticism of the Cats physically challenging game against Cincinnati and the potential secret to ending UK’s bid for perfection. Still, the Cats are already the first men’s team to start a season 36-0 and we look forward to seeing them play tonight against West Virginia in the Sweet 16. Kent Taylor shares with us a special sit-down with several of the Cats, including Coach Calipari, Karl-Anthony Towns, Dakari Johnson, Willie Cauley-Stein and Andrew Harrison as they illuminate us on how they’ve improved in recent weeks. As this week’s Northwestern Mutual Athlete of the Week, Dujuanta Weaver, a star of Doss High School’s state tournament basketball team shares with us his future goals of one day making it to the Sweet Sixteen himself. High School sports reporter, Randy Whetstone introduces us to this academically and athletically gifted young man. And, of course, Matt Jones and Tony Vanetti will provide you with sharp and insightful commentary on the performances of the Cats and Cards, and all that is March Madness in this week’s Verbal Scrimmage.

Around town, The Voice-Tribune celebrated the reveal of our 2015 annual Voice of Louisville Derby Magazine at a launch party sponsored by Old Forester and hosted by one of Louisville’s newest dining experiences, 8UP Elevated Kitchen & Drinkery. Thanks so much to all of you who made it out to help us celebrate. Not far from downtown, The Prince of Wales, Prince Charles, and the Duchess of Cornwall, Camilla Parker Bowles, visited The Neighborhood House in Portland, to meet at-risk youth, and support the good work of this institution that supports some of our city’s poorest citizens. Meanwhile, the fifth annual Wrapped in Red Gala was held at the Louisville Marriott Downtown to celebrate the American Red Cross and one of my dearest friends, Martha Johnston, celebrated her birthday at the Village Anchor, surrounded by beloved friends, good times and fabulous memories.

If you haven’t already grabbed your copy of the 2015 Voice of Louisville Derby Magazine – what are you waiting for? Be sure to read our exclusive sit down with 21c Museum Hotels founder, Steve Wilson and take a peek behind this creative mind.

Relax and enjoy!

A Local Organization Gives Refugees Their Own Set of Wheels STORY Ashlie Stevens, PHOTOS Chris Humphreys

right, almost neon-colored, lines on the TARC map waver and blur among small text. Preston, Cherokee, Route 54X; the terms are unfamiliar, unintelligible. Especially when all you want to do is get back home.

For many refugees, this is their initial experience with the Louisville public transportation system.

Allison Smithkier is the Family Center and Early Childhood Coordinator at Kentucky Refugee Ministries, a nonprofit organization dedicated to resettling refugees and providing them tools for self-sufficiency within their new lives.

“Almost all of our clients use Louisville’s public transportation system when they first arrive. This is very difficult for many reasons,” Smithkier said. “They must learn to navigate the city, read bus numbers and street signs, and wait for long periods of time at bus stops in inclement weather. Often, our clients only learn how to take the bus to offices they visit frequently, work and school, leaving them with few opportunities to explore the Louisville community and access nonessential, though useful, community resources.”

Sometimes, this leads to a refugee getting lost within their new city.

“This week, one of our clients was lost on the bus and ended up on the opposite side of town. Not only was this scary for her, but also for her son, as she was supposed to be home waiting for him at his bus stop

isville spent $300,000 approved by the Metro Council to create 28 miles of dedicated or shared bike lanes to connect downtown to the University of Louisville, with links to surrounding neighborhoods including Crescent Hill, Germantown, the Highlands and Portland.

In January of 2013, the Kentucky Refugee Ministries staff reached out to a variety of churches in the area to see if they could begin collecting bike donations for refugee families in need.

Bob Callender is a member at Beargrass Christian Church in St. Matthews, and the chairman of the Pedal Power Project, the collaboration between KRM and Beargrass Christian. Every Wednesday night he points volunteers to a small, tan twocar garage in the church parking lot.

Over one of the doors a banner is strung: “Bike Donations.” Callender remembers well that year when they first started collecting bikes.

“They started coming in slowly at first, but then WDRB contacted us in the fall about their Hidden Hero award -- we were on the news, they gave us a $500 check. That was when the bikes really started flowing in.”

Inside the garage, rows of bikes line the walls; some hung, some standing propped against their kickstands – a turquoise Schwinn, a black Electra, a rusted white Huffy, many clean no-names.

Callender said that after they appeared on the news, the phones at Beargrass Christian rang for two days straight. “So many people have an old bike that they don’t use sitting in their basement or garage, and these families will get much more out of them than we do.”

But the Pedal Power Project doesn’t just collect and store bikes for Kentucky Refugee Ministries.

They also fix bicycles that need a little work. On the other side of the garage, wheels hang from the walls

after school. Fortunately, she ended up at the home of one of our KRM interpreters and he helped her return to KRM,” Smithkier said.

For many of the families Smithkier works with, the cost of public transportation is a burden -- and while many of the clients receive transportation assistance as part of their benefit programs, if one family member goes to work, the entire family may become ineligible for this type of assistance.

“I have also discovered that many of our clients miss follow-up WIC appointments, and I would guess this is true of other important appointments, because they don’t remember how to return by bus,” Smithkier said. “Seemingly small things like this can have a great impact on financially fragile families.”

This is especially true if the public transportation impedes refugees in finding work accessible to them.

“If a job is not accessible by bus, then it is typically not a viable option for most of our clients.”

According to KRM’s Match Grant Coordinator, Regan Layman, refugees are only able to find housing in specific parts of town--generally the South End--because there are only a number of apartment complexes that work with the clients while they are getting their social security.

“Many of our clients face an hour commute when using the bus system,” Layman said. “That’s hard having to navigate an hour there and back every single day.”

The staff at Kentucky Refugee Ministries soon realized that they needed another way to ensure that their clients could get where they needed to go safely and efficiently.

It turned out that the solution was simple; they would begin collecting bikes for their clients.

It makes sense. Biking is cheap, environmentally friendly and Louisville is working hard to become a more bike-friendly city. In 2013, Lou-

and plastic bins are filled to the top with shiny metal parts. The icy air smells like grease and rubber. “In the summer, we open up the garage doors and spread our equipment out into the parking lot,” Callendar explained. “It’s actually quite nice.”

Though during the winter, only a core group of three or four volunteers make it out to help tune up the bikes, during the warmer months, the Pedal Power Project has up to 20 volunteers – which is necessary considering that, according to Layman from Kentucky Refugee Ministries, the waiting list for a bike is currently holding at 77 requests.

And while precedence is given to refu-

M A R C H 2 6 , 2 0 1 5 • W W W . V O I C E -T R I B U N E . C O M

gees who are looking for work or who have found a job, full families often sign up to be on the bike list.

“Right now, there is a man named Achmed who has put down a request for five bikes-- one for a 12-year old, one for a nine-year-old, two for twin five year-olds and one for a three-year-old,” Layman said.

Callender has many stories like this, most of which he has documented with a digital camera. After a few minutes of rifling between bike parts, he pulls out an envelope stuffed thick with glossy photos. He flips through one by one, and while each comes with a distinct narrative, there are certain similarities: the smile, the pose –

standing by the bike, gripping the handlebar--the quality of workmanship that has gone into making this moment possible.

Another banner hangs in the garage, slung just over Callender’s head. This one is handmade, and on it the words “500 bikes” are scrawled in slightly messy block letters.

“We reached that goal in October,” Callender said. “When that happened we had a little party here in the garage to celebrate everything.” He began stuffing photos back into the envelope, but then stopped and pulled one from the pile. It was a Cuban family with four bikes between them.

“You know, it’s interesting – everyone who I have met through this program, regardless of whether they are from Cuba or Iraq or Pakistan, wherever, they all know how to ride a bike. They have obviously had someone at home teach them to ride, and most of the men know how to fix bikes,” Callender said.

Again, he held out the photo of the Cuban family, in which all of the members of the family were beaming, seemingly taken by the freedom that a simple luxury – such as having a bike of one’s own – can bring. VT

Straightening Out America’s Trade Deficit

By MARC MUNROE DION, Creators.com

Republican senators are trying to strengthen America’s economy by exporting the ignorance that got them elected.

I grew up in the America that exported cars, clothes, steel, food and various other consumables.

Now, all that stuff comes from somewhere else. So we tried exporting democracy but no one wanted it, mostly because the salesmen kept killing the potential customers. We exported our soldiers, then we took ‘em back, then we exported ‘em, then we took ‘em back. Iran. Somalia. Afghanistan. But the army’s worn pretty thin right now, so there’s not much more money in that business.

Ah, but Republicans, the party of wages down/ profits up, have now taken to scrawling letters to other governments, exporting the blind dumbassery that gets them elected down home.

Unfortunately, there’s no market for Republican principles in the Mideast. Know why? Because much of the Mideast, including all turf held by ISIS, is ALREADY run on Republican principles.

Like Republicans, hardline Jihadists believe that

the answer to every question is found in one book.

They believe all other religions are wrong and should be banned.

country.

Fundamental Islam seeks to turn back time, to reset the whole world to more primitive days when women didn’t get educated, when rape wasn’t a crime, when you stoned people to death for minor infractions of religious law, when there was no difference between the leader on earth and God.

Prayer in the schools? ISIS LOVES prayer in the schools. You pray in their schools, you pray in their mosques, you pray just before you pull the pin on your suicide vest. Republicans also like the “pray until you’re 18, and then go get killed in a holy war” doctrine.

nsurance agent Chris Payne can’t stand it when people talk about insurance like it’s a one-size-fits-all commodity.

Payne, who focuses on commercial insurance, works for Stoess, Nethery & Associates, in Crestwood, Ky.

Business Profile

Like the seven other agents in the office, Payne believes personal service is the key ingredient in a good insurance plan.

WES KERRICK

“When you have a problem – even if it’s a simple one – you know that you’re going to be able to call our office and almost instantly get to me, or get to your agent,” he said.

Better known simply as SNA Insurance, the agency moved recently into a new office at 6317 W. Highway 146.

“People aren’t going to refer people necessarily just to SNA Insurance; they’re going to refer them to Chris Payne at SNA Insurance, because they’ve dealt with me,” Payne said.

For him, it’s vital to build a relationship of mutual respect with clients, and to let them know how important they are.

“Maybe at another agency they were just another number,” he said.

About 40 percent of SNA’s business is in commercial insurance, while personal plans, like home, auto and life insurance, account for the remaining 60 percent.

The agency works with a variety of carriers, including Travelers, Progressive and Safeco Insurance.

“We have solutions for just about everything,” said Payne, who joined SNA in 2012. He began on the personal insurance side, switching to a commercial focus at the beginning of this year.

business briefs STEVE WILSON EARNS PAIR HORSE DRIVING TITLE Last weekend, Steve Wilson, Philanthropist and Founder of 21C Museum Hotels earned the title of United States Equestrian Federation (USEF) Champion in the Pair Horse Driving Competition. Wilson competed in The Live Oak International held in Ocala, Florida on March 18-22, 2015. For decades, The Live Oak International has been the industry standard for Combined Driving competition and involves the world’s leading drivers, trainers, coaches and owners from all over Europe and North America.

Wilson competed in the three phases of the Pair Horse Competition that include Dressage, Marathon, and Cones. He actively P H O T O B Y C H R I S H U M P H R E Y S | T H E V O I C E -T R I B U N E

“Being on the commercial side, it’s pretty neat to watch your clients’ businesses grow,” he said.

insurance work ties directly to that, because he’s helping local businesses, and those businesses drive the local economy.

The potential for growth is one reason Payne feels it’s so important to treat even the smallest clients with respect.

“The smallest client may end up being the biggest one,” he said.

“You always want to see these businesses succeed, so (you’re) always kind of cheering for them,” he said.

Commercial insurance is a great fit for Payne, who enjoys stopping in at area companies, large and small, to talk with business leaders.

Payne, who lives in St. Matthews, is the only SNA agent who commutes to Crestwood from Louisville. But he doesn’t mind the drive.

“It’s a really good, fun dynamic we have out there,” he said.

He listens as business leaders describe the concerns they lose sleep over.

He always seeks to understand businesses as thoroughly as possible, so he can identify risks the leaders may have overlooked. His task, he said, is to help them realize possible situations that could put them out of business.

Then, he puts together a policy that will help them weather whatever comes their way.

“That’s kind of the driving passion behind it,” he said.

The Unbeatables

They have already made history, becoming the first men’s team to start a season 36-0, but their ultimate goal remains. Kentucky, the top seed in the NCAA Midwest Region, takes on fifth seed West Virginia on Thursday night in the Sweet 16. The Cats are four wins away from a perfect 40-0, capped off by a National Championship. I spent the last week covering UK at the KFC Yum! Center, and will join them in Cleveland, Ohio, this week. They beat Cincinnati 64-51, on Saturday, to move on. It was a win fueled by 10-0 run to close the first half. The run was highlighted by a Willie Cauley-Stein emphatic slam.

You see Andrew everyday in practice, is there something that jumps out to you that he is doing better?

Karl-Anthony Towns: Confidence, he's hitting a lot of shots. Mid-range, pullups, threes, it's all going in for him. I guess, just better playmaking decisions. He's a defensive playmaker a lot more now, he's making great defensive plays, and also he's just leading the team. He has the whole package.

What has been the focus for you in practice, to lead to the improved play in the last month or two?

Towns: I guess I'm just getting better position on the block and I'm able to be closer to the basket. It makes the shots more high percentage and I'm just making them.

Was there any different kind of nervousness for the start of NCAA tournament play?

In four years, he mentioned that Doss has March.

“It means a lot. It’s showing me how much my work ethic is paying off, because I’ve been putting in a lot of work. It lets me know that my work is being recognized. It’s a step above of what I want to happen later on.”

The Northwestern Mutual Athlete of the Month award honors student athletes who have shown athletic prowess and academic achievement. Beyond athletics and academics, Northwestern Mutual focuses on character, courage, and commitment to teammates.

In athletics, the 5-foot, 10-inch guard who averaged 16.9 points per game has a well rounded game. His ability to shoot, pass, dribble, and his court awareness led to Weaver being named the sixth region player of the year.

always been doubted as a program, but now they are finally getting the credit they’ve been working so hard to deserve. He admits that in overcoming adversity such as this, mental toughness was essential.

“People doubted us throughout all my years here. So we put in a lot of work. I really wasn’t shocked [by being] successful this year, because this is what we wanted. This is what we envisioned. The work that was put in paid off.”

Hard work has paid off as well for Weaver in the classroom; he has a 3.0 GPA and understands that players and classmates try to model his leadership. In leading people in the right way, he tries to, “Keep a strong mind in the classroom and on the court.”

And in cultivating relationships outside of school with his teammates, like any great point guard he ensures his teammates are in the right place at the right time, not just on the court, but off the court, as well.

“We hang out with each other and go places. So I try to keep players’ heads straight, and make sure that everybody is in the right place at the right time. We go to the YMCA and play 5-on-5. We stick together so that the chemistry can be strong.”

Weaver models his game after two players, both in college and in the NBA; Quinn Cook of the Duke Blue Devils and Derrick Rose of the Chicago Bulls. His goal is to display his talents for a Division I program, while studying physical therapy. With offers from IUPUI, Wright State, and Ball State, his biggest interest is between Wright State and Ball State. Wherever the young man chooses to go, he will continue to be that spark that leads to success. VT

Weaver has grown tremendously as a basketball player. He mentioned that Doss was not his first option to play high school basketball, but guaranteed playing time was the key in landing him in a Doss jersey. He has enjoyed his four years at Doss, seeing the tangible growth of his teammates and himself.

Weaver has led Doss to a historic season, becoming the sixth region champions and reaching the state championship for the first time since the 1980’s. Much credit goes to head Coach Tony Williams, Doss and University of Louisville alum, as

Senior Wayne Blackshear bagged 19 points and 7 rebounds, but it was freshman point guard Quentin Snider who got the winning points via two free-throws as the University of Louisville scraped past UC Irvine to reach the third round of the NCAA tournament with a narrow 57-55 victory in Seattle.

Louisville struggled with Irvine’s size in a close encounter, but it was Blackshear who steered them home to book a game with the University of Northern Iowa Panthers in the next round.

Dreaming Big After Potential Nightmare

I

n 2012, Saint Mary's basketball coach Randy Bennett served up the following quote after his team had been eliminated from the NCAA Tournament:

last one. UofL's East Region is the first since 2004 to lose its No. 1 and No. 2 seeds before the tournament's second weekend. Villanova and Virginia both losing hasn't made the Cards an overwhelming favorite to represent the region at the Final Four in Indianapolis, but there certainly appears to be a more traversable path than there was a week ago.

ly possible.

Northern Iowa isn't out of the tournament right now because it played in a conference that didn't test it enough or because it was over-seeded by the selection committee. Northern Iowa is out of the tournament right now because it ran into a Louisville team that played, at the very least, as well as it has all season. It ran into a Louisville team that suddenly looks like one capable of playing into the tournament's final weekend.

It's an occurrence which UofL fans are able to dream even bigger. it's over, it's gone." appeared to be on full display in the team's The new dream will last until Friday, when It's a quote which can be applied to virround of 32 win over Northern Iowa, which it either gets crushed, or makes way for an tually all walks of life, but feels especially may have very well been the most impressive even more and even greater reverie.

Instead, most Louisville lege career going. Suddenly, Terry Rozier has morphed back into the guy who led the ACC in scoring for the first five weeks of the season and seemed destined to hear his name called in the first round of this June's NBA Draft. Suddenly, Quentin Snider is playing like a starting point guard who deserved to play the part for the entire season.

Suddenly, Louisville's centers and bench are showcasing signs of life.

"If it didn't sting, it wouldn't be any fun.

That's why it stings, because you care so much. There aren't many things you can pour your heart into with a bunch of guys your age and invest so much time and care so much, and that's why it hurts, because when it's over it's gone."

fans chose to accept the sting of defeat with the hope that they would be rewarded with an equally strong level of joy at some point, and now those people are being rewarded.

Louisville's trip to the Sweet 16 is an earned reward for Cardinals fans who never wavered despite the team's struggles both on and off the court, and it might not be the M A R C H 2 6 , 2 0 1 5 • W W W . V O I C E -T R I B U N E . C O M

overage of the NCAA basketball tournament has begun to take on some of the same aspects of the two-week lead-up to the Super Bowl. When you have space to fill and nothing new to say, extemporize.

dropped into UK-land for the first time this weekend, many of the patterns of the Hampton and Cincinnati games have been repeating themselves all year.

Legs may be giving out, or lungs. But I think it’s the effect of UK’s incredible defense taking over as the game goes on. There’s a reason other teams’ shooting percentages fall into the 20s in the second half.

Teams give Kentucky all kinds of trouble to start the game, keeping it Catnip close, even getting out in front. Kentucky can’t seem to find its rhythm.

STEVE Karl-Anthony Towns takes it to the KAUFMAN hole early, then vanishes. Andrew After Kentucky’s back-alley win Harrison drives the lane, then he over Cincinnati on Saturday, the silly stuff doesn’t. Aaron misses, Booker misses, the lid blossomed like a spring garden. Much of it, seems on the basket. though, was the same old weeds.

It’s close. The other team is tasting upset.

Armour and everyone else are right that Kentucky can be beat. We know that, otherwise it wouldn’t be 40 years since we’ve had an undefeated national champion.

For probably the 36th straight time, writers said there is a way to beat Kentucky. The “new way” is to muscle them, get in their heads with a little rough stuff and take them out of their game.

Sports columnist Nancy Armour in USA Today nailed it: “Push the Wildcats around.

Beat them up. Make it ugly. Never back down.”

Now why didn’t Arkansas, Georgia, UCLA, North Carolina, Louisville, Kansas, LSU or Buffalo think of that?

Armour acknowledged that Kentucky met the challenge, but only because Cincinnati was “an undersized and lesser-skilled team that hurt itself far more than the Wildcats did.”

And then it begins to swing. Sometimes even before the half, often soon after the half, sometimes not until midway into the second half.

Maybe it’s fatigue. Maybe it’s foul trouble.

Maybe it’s UK’s best combinations emerging.

Maybe it’s the intense veteran competitiveness of the Harrisons and Willie, the will not to lose that pulls the freshmen along with them.

But at some point around the 33-minute mark, you notice that Kentucky has allowed only about 40 points. Maybe the Cats are up by 12 at that point, or maybe just by four. But the point is, the other team has stopped scoring.

The opponents will get better with each climb up the bracket, and somebody might keep it close enough for a three-point shot from the corner or an awful whistle or a disastrous turnover to end Kentucky’s season. Somebody might even run away from the Cats and win by double figures.

But dismissing Kentucky as just freakishly tall, or unusually deep, or benefiting from a room full of noisy UK fans is missing an important ingredient of this team. It plays 40 minutes of defense, sideline to sideline, baseline to NCAA logo, every single man, and has shown the ability to lock down the other team and take away its strengths.

By the way, one other comment: When a coach is forced to say, “That’s how we play – rough, physical, not giving an inch – but we don’t play dirty,” they usually play dirty. VT Devin Booker attempted to score against the physical Bearcats.

“Put this same game plan in the hands of an Arizona or Wisconsin or Villanova, especially in an arena that isn’t Rupp West, and Kentucky is no longer guaranteed of becoming the first team to go unbeaten since Indiana in 1976.”

Okay, so many things, where to start? Maybe start by dismissing this “guaranteed” stuff.

Who’s ever guaranteed anything? Apparently not Villanova, one of Armour’s candidates for having the talent to knock off Kentucky, except that it didn’t have the talent to knock off North Carolina State.

Then let’s address the fact that Arizona or Wisconsin or someone else might not have the mind-set or muscle to play that kind of game, or might not want to. Cincinnati risked all kinds of foul trouble by brawling with Kentucky. The Cats went to the line 28 times, twice as often as Cincinnati.

Does Wisconsin want Frank the Tank sitting on the bench with two first-half fouls?

Armour goes on to say that “the Bearcats lost as much as Kentucky won, shooting 24 percent in the second half.”

36 Wins, 36 Ways to Beat Kentucky

MATT JONES Tune into Kentucky Sports Radio with Matt Jones on Talk 1080 from 10 a.m. to 12 p.m. Monday - Friday.

TONY VANETTI Tune into the Afternoon Underdogs with Tony Vanetti on Talk 790 from 3 to 5.30 p.m. Monday - Friday.

versus

Time for the Sweet and Elite TONY VANETTI: Okay, both teams are in the Sweet Sixteen and now I cannot believe I’m going to say this, but some people are talking about a possible Louisville and Kentucky final game.

MATT JONES: First of all, it’s not that much of a surprise for me because you’ll remember it was in these pages last week that I picked Louisville to go to the Final Four. Will you acknowledge that?

VANETTI: Yes, you did pick them.

JONES: Secondly, it’s not a surprise when they were the higher seeded team.

I like the way that some in the media are acting like Rick Pitino has done some miracle job getting this plucky group of youngsters to the Final Four even though there are two first round picks on their roster, and they were the higher seed in both games and beat UC Irvine and Northern Iowa. What happened to your standards Tony Vanetti? Louisville should be beating UC Irvine and Northern Iowa!

VANETTI: You can never fault a team for beating who’s in front of them, and UNI were a great team, and everyone was picking them. Louisville made them look stupid, and they’re a great team.

JONES: And who was the best team they beat this year?

VANETTI: Wichita State.

JONES: Exactly. So it’s a good team, but other than that they have not one victory against a team that mattered, and this is why I picked Louisville. If UNI wins that game, it’s a pretty big upset because they M A R C H 2 6 , 2 0 1 5 • W W W . V O I C E -T R I B U N E . C O M

have not beaten anybody. But as I said last week, Louisville were in the bracket in which I thought they could make noise.

There is no reason why they can’t beat NC State who they play the next game. They will have a hard time against Duke. But if somehow Duke got knocked off, who knows. Louisville is, at that point where they can beat anyone in the tournament, except maybe Kentucky and Arizona. But they can lose to anyone in the field, just as they almost lost to UC Irvine.

VANETTI: Okay, so let’s start over and re-bracket the Sweet Sixteen. Have you changed your Final Four?

JONES: I have Kentucky, Wisconsin, Duke and Louisville. I’ll stick with that as I think it’s the most likely scenario. Probably the one I feel least confident about is actually Wisconsin as I actually think Arizona are playing really well. But that will be a great game if they play each other in the Elite Eight. Who would yours be?

VANETTI: You know what, I think I am now going to put Louisville in the Final Four. I thought they would go to the Elite Eight but at this point I think it’s so weird how they see this thing. Virginia had to beat Michigan State to go to the Sweet Sixteen, Louisville would have to beat the same team to go to the Final Four. It just depends on the matchups and who gets who, and so at this point I am going to go for Louisville, Duke, Arizona and Kentucky. So I am going to change it slightly.

JONES: I think that’s a smart one as well.

Talking about Kentucky, it also makes me laugh how everyone now acts like Ken-

28

tucky is so vulnerable because Cincinnati was 20-points down with a minute to go.

The Cats played well enough to win. It’s like people are just begging to find a reason to call Kentucky beatable.

VANETTI: Look, there is no story that surrounds this story except that they are on this collision course with history. I thought the biggest story out of the KFC Yum! Center games was Ashley Judd and her service dog. She has a service dog to keep her calm. What did you think of that?

David Levitch,, Anas Mahmoud and Dillion Avare cheered on as their teammates advanced them one step further, to the Sweet Sixteen, after defeating UNI.

JONES: I love Ashley Judd. Don’t trash talk about Ashley Judd. I don’t say anything about Jennifer Lawrence and you need to be nice. I agree, though, there weren’t a whole lot of stories other than the Cincinnati player who tried to rile a few players up and got some emotion out of them. Now West Virginia is good enough to beat Kentucky, but not if Kentucky plays well. If they play well they win again and that’s probably true for all of the games in the regional. If Kentucky plays well, they win both games. If they don’t play well and the other team is really, really hot then they have a chance to lose.

VANETTI: I thought that Kentucky fans would pucker by now. At this point, going into the Sweet Sixteen and the Elite Eight I see the opposite. I am going around town and Kentucky fans are getting not just confident but obnoxious, when it comes to calling their shot and saying that they are going to win this thing.

JONES: I’m not. I’m unbelievably nervous about it. If they lose, it will stink but they will still have had an amazing year and they would still have deserved to win.

But, Tony, just the notion that a 40-0 season could hinge on a final game against Louisville makes my head explode. You realize that right? That would arguably be the worst moment, or the best, but possibly the worst of all time.

VANETTI: On the 30th anniversary of the Villanova-Georgetown game, I can see why you would not want to see that as a fan, because you would not want the 40-0 to get ruined. Alright, if Rick gets Louisville to the Final Four and Cal gets to the Final Four undefeated, you could make a case for both of them to be Coach of the Year.

JONES: No, you can’t. Look, people are too simplistic about the NCAA tournament. You’ve heard me say this for years that the NCAA tournament is random, that’s why I like Coach of the Year being a regular season award, because that’s a much better notion of what a team is. If Rick Pitino gets to the Final Four, you go, “That’s a great accomplishment.” But let me ask you this. If he gets there by beating UC Irvine, Northern Iowa, Michigan State and Oklahoma, is that really a great accomplishment? It’s a great set of wins, it’s good that they did it, but those are teams that Louisville is better than already. No, I do not agree that Rick Pitino would be Coach of the Year. The Coach of the Year is Cal, and if not Cal then Tony Bennett and nobody else is close.

VANETTI: Right, but look back at last year. Kentucky’s regular season was as bad as I have seen it in a long time.

JONES: But Cal did a great job for those three weeks, but even he would tell you it wasn’t his best coaching job. But last year’s

Kentucky run was impressive, they beat teams that were better than them. Wichita was better than them, Louisville, and you could argue even Michigan, and Wisconsin too. Kentucky won all of those games.

This Louisville thing is different. They’re taking advantage of a fortunate bracket, but spare me the notion that this is some kind of crazy great coaching job. It’s taking advantage of a great bracket.

VANETTI: Well they certainly look better than they did a couple of weeks ago, so I’ll give coach Pitino credit for that.

JONES: Well, they did in the Northern Iowa game, but they looked terrible in the UC Irvine game.

VANETTI: UC Irvine had the 17 foot aircraft carrier at center and they are a talented team. Do not diminish their accomplishments my friend!

JONES: And how great was that player?

VANETTI: No, there’s no question. Everytime he caught the ball it looked like a tennis ball.

JONES: So you think both teams are in next week?

VANETTI: I want to say yes. Yes! JONES: I think they are too, and then I think Duke beats Louisville, Kentucky beats Wisconsin and the NCAA gets Kentucky-Duke in a final game that will be the highest rated thing in 30 years.

Many families have made the Rodes City Run 10K a tradition and return to Louisville every spring to participate in this community event with 2015 representing the 35th staging of the Rodes City Run 10K, which began in 1981. The Rodes City Run 10K is the second leg of the Louisville Triple Crown of Running. During its 34-year history, the Rodes City Run 10K has contributed over $500,000 to local charities.

DEAR ABBY: My twin brother is an alcoholic and homeless. He has never held a job. Although we have drifted apart, he still contacts me when he needs money, guilt trips me about not having a place to go, and once even faked a drug overdose to get my attention. I have helped him many times, but he always goes back to his old ways.

Dear Abby

DEAR THINKING: The only person who can divert your brother from his self-destructive path is himself.

Because your helpful attempts have failed, recognize that although he refuses getting professional help, it doesn’t mean you shouldn’t avail yourself of it.

You appear to be a kind, loving and generous sister who has been taken advantage of for a long time, and it may very well take the help of a mental health professional to help you separate from your twin. Please consider it. The sooner you do, the sooner you will begin to feel better.

JEANNE PHILLIPS

My heart breaks for him, and the thought of him not having a place to go worries me. I have a family of my own to support and care for. He has shown no gratitude for what I have done to help him, and he insists nobody cares about him. He threatens suicide and won’t get help for his alcohol abuse.

My fiance refuses to allow me to help him anymore. I feel helpless and exhausted. I’m tired of constantly worrying about him and letting him make me feel guilty for the life he has chosen.

Other relatives will have nothing to do with him.

He refuses getting professional help. Please tell me what to do. -- THINKING ABOUT MY WOMB MATE

John Wilson Fashion is like being a chameleon, you’re able to take a little bit of your personality and show the world, because that’s the only way you can really express yourself – through fashion. I think my style is very eclectic. A lot of people know I can wear Burberry one day and then the next day I can come in wearing jeans and a t-shirt, and still feel just as comfortable. It’s all about what’s going on that day. I like to shop at Nitty Gritty, and I go to Evolve, but then again you’ll find me doing a lot of online shopping because I don’t like to wear the same things as other people. That’s why I like to go into Nitty Gritty and Evolve, because the clothes from the ’70’s fit me better. So I’m always trying to find something that’s different and unique. At my job at Jeff Ruby’s our designer is Dave Stevens from Las Vegas, so there are chandeliers, and everything is very colorful, and sometimes I have to play to that role. The Art Deco style of the restaurant, the eclectic nature of it, you’re able to kind of wear almost anything and fit in.

Why is the Oldham County Historical Society such an important cause?

NANCY THEISS, OCHS MEMBER: The Oldham County History Center is a small community museum that is important because it connects people to the place where they live, giving them depth and understanding about the events and people in the past. Understanding your community enhances your ability to interact with places where you live, deepening both your sense of place and self worth in society.

It is must be heartening to know how much support there is in the community for such a cause, correct?

THEISS: We are gratified with our work and the support we receive. We have completed cemetery listings for the entire county, which is unusual for most places so people often come here looking for their "beginning," when their ancestors first arrived here. We conduct oral histories of our elders and veterans of wars and publish them, making them available on the internet through our partnership with the Louie B. Nunn Oral

Kentucky Gents

History Library at the University of Kentucky. We appreciate the fact that the community "gets" what we do and is willing to support our efforts to continue that service.

What can participants expect at this year's event?

THEISS: This event launched the Dandy Duds for Derby Studs Contest which is an incredible display of art and humor.

We invited local businessmen to create their own "Dandy Duds" with donated dinner jackets from Sam Meyers Formal Wear. With our supporter and friend Jo Ross who created the idea, and the support provided by Ellie and Randy Troutman, this contest is sure to become an annual event! The exhibit has been on display at Oxmoor Mall, and invites the public to vote for their own favorite jacket, so there is a People's Choice Award. The Kentucky Gents Derby

Extravaganza Party is by invitation only, and launched by the Troutmans to be located at their private estate. Ellie Troutman, who is on our Board of Directors, and her husband Randy, are preservationists and have spent a great deal of effort on renovation projects in historic downtown LaGrange.

How much personal satisfaction is there in helping to stage this event?

THEISS: I really have made a minimal effort to help stage this event; the satisfaction of being a part of it comes from the support of volunteers, such as Ross and the Troutmans, who support our mission to "create a sense of place, a community where people can connect to each other and to where they live" and that mission in turn enhances our self worth. VT

The Third Annual Gravy Cup For those who don't know, what is The Gravy Cup? ZACH FRY, EVENT ORGANIZER: The Gravy Cup is the largest biscuit and gravy competition in the world. I had the idea while vacationing in New Orleans for my one of my best friend’s birthday, during New Years week in 2012. I posted the idea as question on Facebook and the response was overwhelming. I had the first event within 3 weeks of that date and over 500 people showed up.

Why is the Boys and Girls Haven such an important cause?

FRY: BAGH shelters, heals and teaches struggling young people to become productive and healthy members of our community. Boys & Girls Haven has transformed the lives of more than 5,000 abandoned, abused and neglected children.

They provide stability, education, and productive skills that lead to success in adulthood. In a time when more and more children find themselves growing up without the support of a loving family, Boys & Girls Haven is there to provide a home and a future filled with promise.

Boys and Girls Haven heals the scars left by

abuse and neglect and teaches struggling youth to be successful. Too many children aging out of foster care find themselves adrift in adulthood, with limited resources and nowhere to turn for help. The number of homeless youth between the ages of 18 and 24 is on the rise. At Boys and Girls Haven, our mission has always been to provide struggling youth with both a home and a future.

Through a variety of programs, we provide therapy, stability, education, and vocational training for our community’s most vulnerable children and young adults.

This is not the first year that the event has been staged; is must be heartening to know how much support there is in the community for it, correct?

FRY: Absolutely! We have been so fortunate to outgrow each venue in which we’ve held the Gravy Cup every year. We are very gracious for the partnerships we’ve had in the past with Dennie Humphrey of the Monkey Wrench and Dale McCall at the Vernon Club. This year we’ve found a great partner in Diamond Pub and Billiard on Barret Avenue, in the Highlands, which has a great location and logistical layout for us.

53

What can participants expect this year, and is there anything they may not have seen last year?

FRY: Yes! Obviously we are in a new location, and that will be wonderful, but we want to keep the focus on the actual event. We will be featuring a “Golden Ladle” award, which will go to whomever raises the most money for Boys and Girls Haven, via a pay per vote system. Also this year, entry into the Gravy Cup will get you free admission to GonzoFest (a $10 value), on the riverfront, which starts at 2 p.m., which is when our event ends. The silent auction will be back. The rest….

Will be a surprise!

Are tickets still available? And can people still register to take part? Also, how else can people get involved?

FRY: Tickets are still available and can be purchased online at www.TheGravyCup.com. We are about half full on entries, so people can still register to participate/compete, but time is of the essence. We’ve filled up every year. Anyone can get involved by way of sponsorship, or volunteering the day of the event. VT W W W . V O I C E -T R I B U N E . C O M • M A R C H 2 6 , 2 0 1 5

Loving History in Old Louisville

t’s said there’s a right home for every person, a person for every home, it just takes patience. Faith.

And a little serendipity.

In 2006, long-time Prospect residents Kim and John Crum were in Old Louisville, attending a concert in Central Park. It was a nice evening, so they strolled the neighborhood.

Homes STEVE KAUFMAN

They paused in front of a home on St. James Court. It wasn’t the most lavish home on the block, an Arts and Crafts cottage in the midst of all those Victorian and Richardson Romanesque mansions. But they were intrigued by its interesting design features.

“Six weeks later, a friend in the neighborhood told us a home on the block was going to become available,” John said. “So we came into town, and it was this house.

It hadn’t even been listed yet. What are the chances of that?”

“We walked in and we were hooked,” said Kim, picking up the story. “That fireplace sold us.”

M A R C H 2 6 , 2 0 1 5 • W W W . V O I C E -T R I B U N E . C O M

“That fireplace” is an ornate piece of design in the living room, inlaid with intricate glass mosaics and marble and fronted by two twisted, inlaid Solomonic columns. Truly, as Kim said, “one of a kind.”

ly drawn to the bank of front windows, called “light screens” by Frank Lloyd Wright because they bring the natural light inside and the interior space outside. The small windows, framed by lead, are like individual pictures.

But still a 100-year-old house.

Many an Old Louisville buyer gets drawn in by the history only to end up with a money-pit. Not the Crums.

Dodd had built the home for himself, then moved to Los Angeles two years later and it

It felt like a warm and cozy step back into another time and place.

It was in move-in condition, says John.

“All we really had to do was paint the walls and replace the furnace.”

Otherwise, details from the original 1911 plan of architect William J. Dodd had been painstakingly preserved over the years, from the geometric planes of the leaded glass windows to the medallion-patterned plaster work on the ceiling.

Kim was especial-

became the home of one of the Culbertson descendants of the New Albany, Ind., industrialist.

“I think the secret to its condition is, even as some of the house was broken up into apartments, the owners occupied the main part of the house the entire time, so it was always well-maintained,” said John. “From the time Dodd left until we moved in, there were only five owners in 93 years.”

Not everything in the house has been lovingly preserved from the Taft Administration.

The kitchen had been expanded and modernized by the previous owners – “serious cooks” in Kim’s description, who furnished the room with a six-burner Viking stove and a large granite-topped island.

“I’m not that kind of cook, so it was a little intimidating,” she said.

P H O T O S B Y C H R I S H U M P H R E Y S | T H E V O I C E -T R I B U N E

“But when you live in a kitchen like this, you start to like to cook.”

However, the kitchen notwithstanding, the Crums have largely refused to stray from the home’s historic look and feel. “When we make changes, like putting in a light fixture or a new bathroom sink, we try to use appropriate materials and designs,” said John, “even down to the faucet hardware on the sinks and tubs.”

The best example was a small and modern vanity in an upstairs bathroom that cried to be replaced. “We found a large marble sink in the cellar and had a vanity made in the mission style consistent with the rest of the house,” John said.

That and other cabinetry jobs were done by local cabinetmaker Jim DiBlasi, described by Kim simply as “amazing!” see page 56 W W W . V O I C E -T R I B U N E . C O M • M A R C H 2 6 , 2 0 1 5

The house is not a museum. The couple brought plenty of their own lifestyle in with them, particularly walls and walls of the artwork they love and have collected. In the formal dining room, the table is actually their own pool table from Prospect, but with a custom cover that makes it usable for sit-down dining or for buffet service when a crowd is in the house, such as at Thanksgiving.

They also modernized the master bathroom with a Jacuzzi tub and glass shower stall.

And they built a new garage in the back. Though it has a period-appropriate flat roof tilted for drainage, the way many commercial roofs were built in 1911, it also has a hydraulic lift so John can stack four cars in there, including two old cars he’s currently restoring – a 1973 Jaguar XKE and a '73 Citroen SM.

FISH St. Bernadette's dinner includes your choice of fried or baked fish on white or rye, or an order of fried jumbo shrimp, or an order of fried oysters, and comes with two sides.

“

Welcome to “The Troubles”

is a film of historical fiction about a young British soldier, played by rising star, Jack O’Connell (“Unbroken” and “Starred Up”), who is trapped in the streets of Belfast following an upheaval against British troops during the worst year of the conflict in Northern Ireland.

What’s remarkable about its look, is the use of Super 16 millimeter and digital cinematography, timed to capture a washed-out aesthetic; similar to English cinema of the ’70s.

angry townsfolk rise up against the unit.

The movie is engaging and nerve-racking, but it is not fun. Like the best films portraying real-world conflicts, it is immersed in the confusion and messiness of human beings clashing. The film captures a place where people look alike and speak the same language, but distinguish their differences with hateful determination. There are young I.R.A. extremists committing murders without the approval of their disciplined older leaders; loyalist bomb-makers working with undercover agents; and even double agents in the mix of this chaos. In all the confusion, there is no knowing whom this lone soldier can trust, in order to get out alive.

Post Traumatic Stress Disorder emerged in the late 1970s and ‘80s, a decade or more after my father was earning a crippling case of it in the Central Highlands of Vietnam in 1969.

In addition, I have to acknowledge that my father and mother met when he was in Special Forces training. He wouldn’t have gone into the Army without a war to fight. That’s just how he was. What that means is that if America hadn’t entered the war in Vietnam, I wouldn’t exist. I’m not sure how to feel about that, but it’s undeniably true.

Did your father talk to you about it? If so, how old were you?

10 years. I include myself among them.

Graham Shelby performing at the Norton Center for the Arts in Danville.

We agreed that we wanted these stories to be useful to other people.

What are some of your favorite other depictions of the Vietnam War, in any media?

I think the most important and beautiful depiction of that war - and maybe any war - is Tim O’ Brien’s book “The Things They Carried.” It’s an amazing work of art that tells stories about the war, but it’s really about people and also, to some degree, it’s about stories themselves, which are a big part of war.

In fact, that’s one of the things my research has led me to conclude about war – that it’s just as much a battle between competing narratives as nations. If you want people to volunteer to risk their own lives and kill strangers, you have to present them with an incredibly compelling story; otherwise, why would they do it?

The project is a children’s book inspired by a poem written by Hater’s father, Lexington Pastor and evangelist, the late Bob Nelson. The book, titled “The Everywhere God” started as a poem written in 1994 for Nelson’s granddaughter who was 4 at the time. She was going through a difficult time and he wanted her to have something she could remember and be encouraged by. The message of the poem is a reminder of God’s presence in our lives no matter what else is going on. The language of the book is whimsical and fun while the message of the book is comforting and profound.

Their boulder-climbing establishment does not require helmets or rappelling ropes. It is a large room, made up of angled walls covered with holds and large safety crash pads below.

You simply need to arrive in casual clothes and rent their climbing shoes.

The atmosphere is very communal, welcoming people to spend time climbing with an all-day pass that allows guests the freedom to leave and return. They allow all ages and are open all week.

In design, the place has a lot of people in mind. It’s a short trip for the vast amount of people who live (or work) in close proximity to the downtown area and it is simultaneously for experienced professionals looking for practice,

ClimbNulu charges $15 for the first visit and $12 for return-visits. For membership, there is a $25 startup fee, with payments of $55 per month. Right now, you can just pay the startup fee and will not be charged anything else until April 15, should you choose to commit. VT For

Most people don’t breathe properly or use their diaphragm, and that’s something I find universal for people who have back pain and neck pain. The diaphragm is one of the major stabilizers of their spine and a lot of people breathe with their chest and with their neck.

You breathe 12,000 times a day, and it’s amazing to me how many people have started to breathe dysfunctionally. VT For more information visit www.baerchiropractic.com/

And the aspect that is mostly taught in classes are the postures; these are the poses. They are very old and have been practiced a very long time, so we know that they work. They build strength and flexibility, but they [the poses] also bring your body into a state of balance. So if you have chronic injuries, or back pain or knee pain, or if you have had a knee or hip replacement, yoga can help to restore you to a sense of balance. So the exercises are combined with the teachers watching the class and trained to deal with all kinds of different people, so that everyone gets the maximum benefit, and it’s all very safe.

Why should someone go out and try yoga today?

Yoga is a great form of exercise for all kinds of people. It doesn’t matter what kind of physical condition you are in. There are yoga classes for all kinds of people. It’s known for building flexibility, but a lot of people don’t realize that it also builds strength and endurance, which is, of course, very important. Yoga classes are very relaxing, non-competitive and safe for all kinds of people, including people who might be recovering from chronic injury, or who have had surgery, or illness. Yoga can be modified for all kinds of people.

What’s the biggest success story you have seen in your time teaching yoga?

I’ve seen so many cases. When people are older they say that they are now able to get lower down, and activities become more manageable. People who have had headaches have said they have gone away, people who have had to take medication for asthma have said they have been able to come off their medication, people with back pain no longer have that, so it really helps all kinds of people.

aura Spaulding has been doing yoga for 48 years. Originally introduced to yoga by her mother, who had heard about it from a friend, and was given a book about it, she would pass on what she learned to her daughter. Now teaching yoga for 21 years, Spaulding is the President of Yoga East, a non-profit set up in 1978 with the goal of making yoga and its benefits accessible to as many people as possible in the M A R C H 2 6 , 2 0 1 5 • W W W . V O I C E -T R I B U N E . C O M

Louisville community through affordable classes and scholarships.

“It’s all so much fun,” explains Spaulding. “I love every part of it. Dealing with the students, teaching itself, I like running the studios and there is no part of the job I dislike. I feel really blessed to be able to do this.”

How does yoga work?

It’s really the oldest form of wellness.

What’s the one thing that someone can do today to change their life involving yoga?

The most important thing is to come regularly to class. Yoga doesn’t require any knowledge of yoga, or particular skill; all it requires is just making it a regular practice and then you see the benefits of it. VT For more information visit www.yogaeast.org

people making changes that impact their lives. People can now walk, not use seat belt extenders, they can ride roller coasters and can drive a car. It’s hard work but attainable.”

Why should someone come and see you today?

We are the experts in nutrition and in helping people make the right food choices. There is a lot of information out there, and in particular a lot of misinformation, and I think if you are meeting with a dietitian you are going to get what you need to follow. When you come to see us, our plan is going to be safe and responsible. We are going to have the clinical knowledge to be able to take into account any medical conditions that you may have as well.

How do you do what you do?

Initially I’m going to talk to the patient and see what their goal is. There is no sense in talking to someone unless they have some vision or goal. So my job is helping them meet that goal. So it may be assisting them in what foods to choose or in making behavioral changes, as well.

What’s the biggest success that you have seen?

We work with patients who have had surgery and we work with ones who have not. This particular person came in and had a boot on her leg and was practically immobile. She followed our weight loss program and was a client of mine for two years and losing a total of 80 pounds and completing her first half marathon last year. She is doing excellent, in terms of maintenance.

What’s the one thing that someone can do to make a positive change in their life, in regards to nutrition and diet?

Get up and move. In America we want everything fast, but we do a lot of sitting.

So get up and move, whether it’s taking the stairs, or parking farther away from the grocery store, or walking 10 minutes on your lunchbreak. One other thing I would say is resist society and completely resist the fast food industry. You have to do that in order to succeed.

cardiovascular endurance, your flexibility and we even do a blood test to look at your cholesterol and blood sugars. So we get a very thorough baseline. Then we talk to our clients and find out their goals so we can really make a well thought out plan towards getting them those improvements.

What’s the biggest success that you have seen?

There’s been so many, but one that stands out is one young guy who was actually looking to gain weight rather than lose it, and he weighed 140 pounds. We were able to change his nutrition so that his calorie intake was where it should be, so he was gaining weight. But then we combined that with a really overall body workout with weights, so we were able to add a lot of lean weight to him and push up to 160 pounds and actually decrease his body fat. His strength numbers went through the roof. Strength is obviously what a lot of people come in for, but we can just as easily tweak their performance and weight. We also work with seniors, and I work with a lot of 70, 80 and 90 year olds and we’re able to see them be 100% stronger after six weeks. That’s a pretty amazing thing, and very gratifying to work with the senior population.

“I was always active when I was younger, and I became really interested in how and why the body responds to exercise. Ultimately most of us get into this business because we want to help others, and this is a really immediate way in which we can make an impact in people’s lives.”

Why should someone come see you today?

The main reason someone should M A R C H 2 6 , 2 0 1 5 • W W W . V O I C E -T R I B U N E . C O M

come is because we can really pinpoint what it is you need to get you to your goal.

Whether that is losing weight, gaining muscle, helping with your nutrition. We can pinpoint exactly how you can reach your goal, and how you are going to get there.

How do you do what you do?

First off we do a thorough baseline test. So all the basic measurements, like body fat percentage, body mass index. We get a good baseline there, and then we do an active assessment by seeing your muscular strength, muscular endurance, your

What’s the one thing that someone can do to make a positive change in their life in regards to training?

I’m a big proponent of adding resistance training. A lot of people, when they think of exercise think of cardio or changing their nutrition, but they forget or don’t know how essential resistance training can be.

Your metabolism is largely made of muscle. So if you want to win the “Battle of the Bulge” in the long run, the only way to do that is to increase your metabolism, and the only way you can do that is add on muscle.

So I’m very much keen on getting people working with weights. And for women, they don’t need to fear becoming bulky, because one pound of muscle is half the size of one pound of fat. A lot of people don’t lose any weight at all, but lose four inches of waistline. VT For more information visit www.heuserhealth.com/

LIFE

pets of the week Nine-year-old Abby is a lovely orange domestic shorthair mix. Forgive her shyness, but she lived her whole life with one person and has found herself in unfamiliar surroundings. Abby likes to drink from a coffee cup and enjoys company.

She is fine around smaller well-mannered dogs.

Abby is spayed, micro-chipped, up-to-date on vaccinations and declawed in the front. Come meet her at the Kentucky Humane Society’s Main Campus, 241 Steedly Drive.

Three-year-old Kenya is a happy girl. She’s friendly, attentive and great on walks. Kenya is looking for that special family who can give her the love she craves. Kenya prefers to eat in her crate. She really likes food and doesn’t want to share. Kenya will need plenty of exercise and would like a chance to curl up next to you and watch a little TV. Could you give Kenya the love and affection she craves? She’s spayed, micro-chipped and up-to-date on her vaccinations. Come meet her today at the Kentucky Humane Society’s Main Campus, 241 Steedly Drive.

“The Healthy Lifestyle Center met all of my needs. I’m in better shape today than I was when I was 20.”

Jim Smith, 53

Heart Attack Survivor Healthy Lifestyle Center Member Losing 31 pounds is a big deal. Changing your life is bigger.

Jim Smith, 53, had a heart attack in July 2014 and entered the Healthy Lifestyle Center one month later.

Jim’s weight fell from 238 pounds before the heart attack to 207 after completing the program, but he says the weight loss is just a sign of much bigger changes.

“The program provides an overall package,” he says.

“It helps heart patients with changes in their diet, lifestyle, pain management, stress and exercise. The staff is very encouraging. They show great concern and make you feel comfortable and relaxed.”

“They become your friends. They are very compassionate when discussing how to change your habits in order to live a healthier life. They gave me hope.”

The life-changing success Jim found is available at all three KentuckyOne Health Healthy Lifestyle Center locations.
