It’s been almost a year since the legendary Valhalla Golf Course played host to the PGA Championship, as the world watched Rory McIlroy claim the title in dramatic style. This year, golf makes a welcome return as the Senior PGA Championship will take place in Kentuckiana, and this time, French Lick will be the stage.

From May 19-24, the sporting jewel will kick off the summer. So The Voice-Tribune gets into the swing of things with this week’s cover story.

For this week’s business profile, we sit down with the folks who run a gym that’s taking the city’s health scene by storm – and still making time to give back to the community. Over the next few days, Orangetheory Fitness will be breaking a sweat for a good cause as they host a workout marathon to raise funds for a variety of meaningful charities. We also caught up with the winners of this year’s MOSAIC awards, acknowledging those individuals who are changing the political, social and corporate landscapes in our city for the greater good.

With baseball season firmly underway, we check in with the Cardinals, who are having a blistering season so far, coming out on top of a nail-biting series with Florida State.

And our own Card Chronicler, Mike Rutherford, reminds us just how lucky we’ve been with former athletes who are proving themselves on and off their respective playing venues. From Terry Rozier making a guest appearance at a young toddler’s birthday to Teddy Bridgewater escorting a Christian Academy of Louisville stu-

dent to her senior prom, we continue to be impressed by the character of these former Cardinals.

Mothers all over the River City were well celebrated over the weekend, as Cake Flour held a special brunch in honor of the special ladies in our lives, while the March of Dimes broke a sweat on the Waterfront, where they hosted the annual March for Babies in aid of lifesaving research and programs that work to end premature birth. The art scene was in full bloom as well, as the Mayor’s Music and Arts Series gathered a diverse mix of performers at Louisville Metro Hall to showcase their talents, and the Louisville Art Fair filled Mellwood Art & Entertainment Center with fabulous and local artisan flare. And of course, Steve Van Hooser celebrated his birthday with close friends at an intimate affair put on by the always gracious hosts Davis Edwards and Steve Bass.

In Life, Bennett Duckworth ventured to Outer Loop to play everyone’s favorite lazy pastime – bingo – while Wesley Kerrick sampled some of the delicious Italian foods provided by the hidden gem that is Come Back Inn. And if someone you know is about to put on the cap and gown and walk across the big stage, Lori Kommor makes some fabulous suggestions for graduation gifts, so you can truly commemorate such a milestone achievement.

If someone you know is getting older, it may start to become harder and harder to relate, so we’ve tried to make it easier by providing you with the Golden Years special section. Whether you’re a caretaker for a loved one, or simply a snow bird looking to unwind and pursue goals in your next stage of life – take a peak. A wellearned reward for a lifetime of hard work.

And finally, I’d just like to take a second to announce that my executive assistant, friend and confidante Lauren DePaso is leaving us after many years of dedication. This is her last issue, and while we’re sad, we’re also delighted for her as she starts an exciting new chapter in her life.

We will miss her dearly, but we wish her all the best. Please turn to page 6 to see my full tribute to Lauren.

Relax and Enjoy!

PUB NOTE

From The Publisher...

Finding out Lauren DePaso is moving across the country was a complete shock, and I honestly still haven’t been able to fully comprehend that it’s actually happening. The possibility that she would have to leave me and our family has always been there, but none of us ever thought it would actually happen.

Sitting here trying to write this is difficult for a few reasons. For one, I can barely see from the tears forming in my eyes. Secondly, I feel like I can’t do justice in describing this girl, who has been in my life for so long. No number of adjectives in the dictionary could truly show what she means to me. I trust her with everything in my life, and sometimes I feel as if she knows me better than I know myself. No matter where she is or what she’s doing, I know she will always drop everything and put me at first priority – even if what I need isn’t important.

Lauren is and always will be: my partner in crime, driver, mentor, best friend and, most of all, my sister. I’m especially going to miss her hilarious ex-boyfriend stories, listening to her belt out the lyrics to every Taylor Swift song, constantly laughing no matter where we are or what we’re doing, and of course, our worldfamous family meetings. Our last family meeting was actually about the move, and there were a lot of tears, to say the least. Although we all would love for Lauren to stay, for our own selfish reasons, it’s easy to see that she can and will be successful wherever she ends up in life.

Lauren Depaso has been one of the most amazing people I have ever had the joy to be around. She has not only been there for me when I need something for school or for sports, but she has also been there for me when I needed someone to talk to.

I first met “LD” when she became my mom’s personal assistant. I was really shy toward her at first, because honestly, she intimidated me. Now, I know her as a fun-loving woman, when I was younger, it was scary to meet this person who was exuding confidence. But over the years, I started to warm up to her when she took me places I needed to go. Our small talk turned into life conversations, and soon I saw Lauren as more than someone who works for my mom.

She and I have had lots of good times. We bonded over our mutual love for the Cards; we even went to many of the tournaments together.

A few years ago, Lauren and I hit a bump in the road, but typical Lauren knew how to make things better – even if it was my fault to begin with. She went to the extremes just to apologize, but I realize now that I should have been doing the same.

Lauren is also one of the hardest workers I know, and she has taught me a lot about that. She singlehandedly planned and executed my Bat Mitzvah perfectly. She has an eye for a color scheme, but most of all, she has a heart of gold. My Bat Mitzvah was a party to remember, and I owe that all to her. She made sure the UofL marching band was there, that the Ladybirds would perform with me, and to top it all off, she brought in the NCAA championship trophy. If this doesn’t imply hard work, then I don’t know what does.

Lauren, looking back on the impact you have had on me and my family, I know that you will do great things wherever you are.

I will always love and support you. California doesn’t know what’s coming, and as for whomever has to follow in your footsteps, neither does he or she. I honestly feel bad for that person, because you’re irreplaceable, and you’ve left a huge legacy to fill. I don’t know how I’m going to go every day without seeing you. It’s going to be a huge challenge for me, but I do know how much I love you, and it’s a lot. Good luck not being able to wear leggings and a sweatshirt to work every day; I know that’s probably going to be one of the hardest things you have to do, as everything else will be easy for you.

My hardest goodbye will be to this amazing person, whom I consider my sister. She will forever be one of the most special people in my life, even if she is miles away.

Through this dedication, I’d like to thank her for all the hard work she has done, and for how she has really been with me through all the moments in my life. She is truly the pizza to my pasta.

I love you, Talia

I love you Laureeen!

Tamar

“ Don’t cry because it’s over. Smile because it happened.”

It is with heartfelt emotion that I will be saying farewell to Lauren DePaso, my personal assistant.

We have been together for over seven years. She has become part of my family. She is my daughter, the sister to my children, my dear friend, a travel companion many times, a shoulder to cry on and much more. We have been through a lot of ups and some downs, but we are always together.

I keep pictures of my family on my work desk as a reminder of why I do what I do every day, and of course, Lauren is in that collection, as she is my family. When you are with someone almost every day for seven years,especially someone as passionate as Lauren, you can’t help but hold a special place in your heart for that person. Just one conversation with Lauren, and your day can completely turn around for the better. A few people whom I know she has especially impacted have been my daughters, Talia and Tamar. As I said earlier, Lauren is the sister to my children. They always want her to go to concerts with them, whether they’re going to the Yum! Center or videotaping Lauren singing in the car. Shopping for hours with Lauren is always a must, and I am especially thankful to Lauren for keeping an eye on the girls’ budget (most of the time, at least). Not only has Lauren been a sister; she has also been a best friend – one they can always turn to for advice, or even just a good laugh. In a way, Lauren taking her new job in San Francisco is kind of like sending my first daughter off to college: bittersweet.

Lauren and I share an office together, where our desks face each other. We work tirelessly and always make sure we get the job done. Lauren is organized and always makes sure that everything is perfect for me. When I get stressed, she knows exactly how to calm me down. She knows what I am thinking and literally reads my mind. She also knows exactly what I eat for lunch from every restaurant in Louisville and many times, if not all the time, shares my order with me. Being the organized person she is, Lauren has left instructions on everything for whomever is brave enough to fill her footsteps. The instructions, of course, include my favorite lunch orders, which, I might add, were quite a task to get right.

If anyone knows me, I am quite particular when it comes to what I eat. Once Lauren and I leave the office exhausted at the end of the day, there is always the “Love you; see you tomorrow.” Not saying or hearing that every day will be extremely difficult, and life both inside and outside the office will never be the same.

I have watched Lauren grow into such a beautiful, successful women. She started as a writer, then receptionist, to my PA. She has taken her positions and risen on her own to help me run the entire company. Lauren has never said “no” and has always made sure that we are the best we can be as a company, and that she is the best she can be as a person.

Now, Lauren has the opportunity to grow into the next steps of her career and life. She has taken a job with the San Francisco 49ers. I am so proud of Lauren for her accomplishments.

I am happy she is able to take this opportunity that has presented itself, to advance into the next path of her career and the next stage of her life. Lauren is not intimated, and she is ready to take it on. That is the woman Lauren has become, and I wouldn’t settle for anything less from her.

Lauren: Through the many tears we have shed this past week, I hope you can tell how much you mean to me and to my family. We are extremely grateful for the times that we have had together. It was a privilege having you by my side all these years.

It has been said: “A good friend knows all your stories; a best friend helped you write them.”

I will miss you dearly. You will always be my best friend and my daughter. My home will always be your home.

I love you dearly, Tracy

I’m going to miss Lauren. There is no one you will ever meet like Lauren DePaso. I’ve worked with her for the last five years, and there’s never been a dull moment. She is the entity of the word ‘fun.’ She has kept the office lively and full of laughter. She has such an infectious spirit about her; you always know when she enters a room. She has definitely left her mark on this paper, on this town, and on me (and every other person she’s met along the way). I am going to miss all of her crazy stories and adventures (and battle wounds that go along with them). I’m sure we will all be talking about them for years to come... which brings me to my next point. Legendary. Lauren is a legend here. I will never forget the time I learned that she won the “My Fantasy VMA” contest, which took her to the 2007 VMAs (just Google it...Teen Vogue did a nice piece on it). She ran into the 2004 teen heartthrob Ryan Cabrera just this year in Las Vegas. Her life is incredible. She is incredible. And that’s why I know she’s going to do incredible things in San Francisco. The 49ers aren’t even ready for her! I’m sure she will tackle this next adventure wholeheartedly. Wishing her all the best. YOLO!

-Bridgette Lauren, it was a pleasure to work with you. Really. You always had time to listen, had a unique ability to make me do things I didn’t want to do and always liked my writing – so naturally I’m a fan. Jokes aside, you’re unquestionably one of the most driven, ambitious and talented people I have met or worked with.

There’s no doubt you will be a huge success in your new career with the San Francisco 49ers. I think you will blitz them and will be their new MVP. Lauren, good luck and see you around.

-Igor I only had a chance to work with you for a few months, but it doesn’t take long to recognize a superstar. Best of luck to you on your new journey.

You deserve all the success in the world.

-Steph Congratulations and good luck! You will be greatly missed. Thank you for everything that you have done to hold this office together and to make The VoiceTribune what it is today.

-David

Half a decade soars by when you aren’t paying attention. Shortly after starting at The Voice-Tribune five years ago, I was introduced to our new columnist, Lauren DePaso. Little did I know she had already been with the company for a couple years prior, or that she had already worked with one professional sports organization. Here we are in 2015, and after working by her side on over 200 issues, and watching her transformation into the kick-ass woman she is today, it’s another professional team that’s pulling her away. While it’s not my San Francisco Giants that are taking her from us, at least they’re from the same great city.

Lauren, best wishes to you in the next chapter of “The Legendary Tales of L.D.” I can’t wait to see where it leads.

-Chris P.S. If you want to learn an interesting fact about Lauren, Google “Lauren DePaso MTV.”

Congratulations L.D.! It has been a true pleasure to watch you work your magic in the V-T office and community for the past six years! Good luck in San Fran. We will miss you much, and they are so lucky to have you!

Love you long time!

Lauren, my “go to” girl, you will be greatly missed. How will we function without you?

I’m sure you will keep The Niners in shape.

I hope all good things come your way for this new adventure.

Shari B.

Lauren has been a joy to work with for nearly four years at The Voice. She has the most amazing stories– I’ve laughed harder than I ever have during all of her childhood tales. She has a special way of doing things that makes you want to do anything for her (and you will). She would occasionally bring me an Uncrustable sandwich for no reason, send me cute pictures when I’d had a bad day, and even braided my hair a few times. Whether it’s planning her boyfriend’s birthday or making a special koozie for her girls’ weekend, she always makes everything memorable and one-of-a-kind. Lauren, The Voice will certainly not be the same without you, but I can’t think of a better reason to leave than California – and yes, we can still GChat.

Love,

It’s hard to believe that next week you won’t be perched at your office desk waiting to greet me each morning.

It’s hard to believe we won’t discuss our plans for the week or weekend. It’s hard to believe when I go to grab a water out of the fridge, you won’t be there for me to ask if you would like one. It’s hard to believe we won’t discuss the wins/losses of the UofL Cardinals. The list goes on and on, but I was told to keep it short. I want to wish you the very best as you move toward the next chapter in your life. You will be missed, my dear!

-L.K.

Most people go to their grandparents for some good storytelling. Here at the V-T, we go to Lauren. I’ve cried numerous times from laughing so hard, whether it was a story about a past relationship or a socially awkward situation Lauren told us about.

I’ve never met a more outgoing, optimistic person in my life. Lauren can brighten up any room, strike up a conversation with anyone, and can take anything life throws at her... all while doing the splits.

Lauren, set your Spotify to Ryan Cabrera for the plane ride. And remember: When in doubt, YOLO! Love and best of luck!

Thank you so much for all you have done for every member of our entire team at The VoiceTribune. You have always been so helpful, and a true backbone to this company. You are so wellrounded, and any company is lucky to have you as part of the team! I would say ‘good luck,’ but I don’t think you need it... I will say, have fun; I know you’ll kill it; and congratulations!!! We will miss you very much!

Be sure to wear flowers in your hair,

-Malissa

-Ashley : )

When I walked in to the office on my first day, you were the first one to welcome me enthusiastically by name. We talked about Taylor Swift and Ed Sheeran within the first five minutes, and you made me feel at home. Only a few short months and a couple crazy stories later, you’re off to California on your next adventure. Lauren, good luck with everything. The 49ers are so lucky to have you.

-Hannah Lauren – I will miss your sweet smile. You truly are a ray of sunshine. In the middle of chaos, you have the ability to remain cool-headed and efficient. I am sure this attribute will be greatly appreciated by those who have the pleasure of working with you in the future. Best of luck to you on your new adventure!

Golf is one of the most exciting sports on planet earth.

STORY BY IGOR GURYASHKIN | PHOTOS COURTESY OF PGA OF AMERICA

W

hen two players are fighting it out on championship Sunday, the drama and tension can be palpable, with spectators knowing that everything can all come down to one final excruciatingly exciting putt on the 18th hole.

Well, from May 19-24, elite golf is returning once more to Kentuckiana. The Senior PGA Championship will be held at the Pete Dye Course in French Lick, Indiana. For championship director Bryan Karns, the championship promises to be one of the most exciting yet, as 2014 champion Colin Montgomerie returns to defend his title in French Lick. And just like Montgomerie, many of the stars playing this year are golfers who have already spent decades tasting glory, living the highs and lows of the tour and having the development of their career watched by millions around the world. And those same millions now get to see the stars they

grew up watching close up in French Lick.

“When you come to our event, you recognize almost all of the names on the leaderboard. And certainly our demographic know a lot of the players that come out,” Karns says. “They are in that age group where they’re starting to see guys that they grew up watching.

“I think it’s just a different mindset when they’re (the players) at that point in their career,” he continues. “Monty’s (Montgomerie) a great example of a guy like that. Certainly for American golf fans over the years, there was sort of a contentious relationship there.”

But that’s changed.

“He was in French Lick three weeks ago, and he was just so gracious and had such a great attitude,” Karns says. “I think it was the attitude you wouldn’t expect coming from Montgomerie.

And seeing him win last year in Benton Harbor with the same kind of attitude, he just kind of seems to be having a lot more fun. And that’s reflecting, I think, in his interactions with the fans and the media.”

FROM PAGE 12

As Karns sees it, the reason for such a relaxed attitude might be the fact that the players – now at the tail ends of their careers – can just compete for competition’s sake, rather than fight for money.

There’s more purity to the game.

“You definitely see a lot of them (the players) spend a lot more time with their families,” adds Karns. “A lot of their spouses and kids will come with them.”

Take Jay Haas, for example.

“Jay Haas, last year, had his spouse and kids come in,” Karns says.

“It’s one of those situations where these kids are now to the age where they see how good dad is.”

You don’t get moments like that at the Masters.

“I mean, everybody saw Tiger at the Masters at the par- three competition,” Karns says. “His kids are really young, and they may have some pictures and vivid memories of it. But these kids are 20, 30 years old, and they can actually walk with their dad. They can see the fact that he is one of the top golfers over the last 30 years. They actually start getting it, experiencing all the stories that he’s talked about, so it really opens them up to that. It’s more of a family environment.”

Not that the experience dampens the competitive instincts in any way.

“They’re very focused in winning,” says Karns. “But it’s now more open up to, ‘I want to enjoy the experience, and I hope I win.’”

One thing that’s endured over the last few years in regard to the Senior PGA Championship is the partnership with KitchenAid. That’s something that has led to much more fan engagement, according to Drew Spuller, marketing and promotions specialist at the Senior PGA Championship.

KitchenAid is running a social media campaign around Louisville, inviting residents to take selfies with a food mixer based near Louisville’s most memorable landmarks. That opportunity is still available.

Karns and Spuller want to highlight to golf fans that the chance to watch legends play up-close at French Lick comes at a very low and accessible price, with tickets still widely available for both the tournament and practice round, at www.srpga.com.

“That’s another great thing about a senior event – the affordability,” adds Karns. “So you get tickets that start as low as $15 for the Wednesday practice round. Kids 17 and under get in free; military personnel and their immediate family get in free. So I think when you’re looking at Memorial Day weekend, you can take the family out for $30 or less.

“I think that’s a huge selling point for us in addition to everything else we’ve talked about,” Karns adds. He’s also quick to add that there are some corporate packages available as well for the event, in case local business are interested.

“There are also some packages through the hotel, that you can buy tickets to the hospitality and then also stay at the hotel – so kind of a neat, all-in-one sort of stay-and-play package.”

For guys like Karns and Spuller, the Senior PGA has been a journey. Like many PGA staff, they are assigned locations at which to organize a championship over a couple of years before moving onto the next site, eventually graduating to dream events such as the PGA Championship or Ryder Cup. The constant change of locations can prove both exciting and taxing.

“It’s a different mindset, I think, and it’s hard at times,” explains Karns. “I mean, I don’t have any kids, but I’m married, and so it’s taxing on your spouse to do that.

“And some communities are easier to acclimate to than others,” he adds. “We lived in Chicago for two years, and that was great. We had some friends up there, and just the culture – so many more people there. When you go to a town and community of 2,500 like French Lick, and it’s harder to meet people, it’s harder to kind of settle in and feel like you’re really building a life there...

“But I think it’s also exciting,” he goes on. “But then when the event’s over, you get a new place to go and experience. Living in French Lick for a year and a half, you really get acclimated and sort of ingrained in the culture. You pretty much know everybody; they know who you are. So it’s different in a big market, when they don’t know who you are.”

Indeed, French Like is much different even from Louisville.

“When you come to Louisville, you have the Derby and you have Louisville basketball and football and everything that comes along with what the city does. And so a PGA championship certainly is big, but it’s not, ‘Oh my gosh, this is the end-all, be-all.’ Whereas, I think in that community [French Lick], that’s the biggest event they’ll probably ever have, from a spectator’s standpoint – and they’ve done some other big things there. They’re hosting the Porsche convention this summer, and they are doing some really great things at French Lick Resort, but I think in terms of bringing 35-40,000 people over the course of six days on a property, they’ve never done anything like that.” VT

business briefs THE FILSON HISTORICAL SOCIETY HOLDS “TOPPING OUT” CEREMONY FOR NEW OWSLEY BROWN II HISTORY CENTER The Filson Historical Society forged ahead with its transformational $11.7 million Campus Expansion Project in Old Louisville as it hosted a “Topping Out” ceremony for the centerpiece of the project, the Owsley Brown II History Center. At the “Topping Out,” supporters of the Cornerstone Campaign for the project signed a steel beam that was then hoisted to the top of the building to become a permanent part of the new structure. In recognition of significant gifts from community leaders Bill and Lindy Street, The Filson announced at the ceremony that the center’s beautiful new event hall will be named the Dan and Frances Street Hall, in honor of Bill’s parents.

The Filson’s Cornerstone Campaign, launched in 2011 and led by campaign chairman Orme Wilson and Filson president Mac Brown, has raised $10.5 million to date. The campaign has entered its final public phase and will seek donations during this phase from the entire community, with individuals encouraged to make campaign pledges in any amount.

Designed by award ­winning De Leon & Primmer Architecture Workshop, the project is scheduled for completion in early 2016.

It includes construction of the new Owsley Brown II History Center, a 20,000 square foot building with new collection storage facilities, a modern digitization and conservation center, museum ­quality exhibit space, and the Dan and Frances Street Hall, a

The results will be available to Principal Dan Zoeller in about seven days; test results will never become a part of the student’s record at Trinity.

The test screens for a variety of drugs as well as binge drinking during the past 90 days.

When a test is negative, Principal Zoeller will inform the student and his parents, and his name will go back in the pool for future testing. If it’s positive, Mr. Zoeller will meet and share with the student and his parents a

list of local resources the family will want to pursue. The student will be tested every 100 days thereafter.

If the student and his family are actively working to resolve the issue, a second positive test will not trigger automatic dismissal; rather, the student will undergo a drug and alcohol assessment by a school-approved professional. Again, with a goal of helping the student, he and his parents must agree to follow the plan created by the professional, and the student will continue to be tested every 100 days. He will be ineligible to participate in extra-curricular activities for 60 school days. A third positive test can trigger dismissal unless the student is working closely with a professional and making progress.

We expect our experience with this new program will mirror that of a growing number of Catholic schools across the country that have found a low number of positive tests and rarely see a second positive. Our students have a strong history and tradition of rising to meet the high expectations we set at Trinity High School. VT

The project also includes renovation of The Filson’s historic 1905 Ferguson Mansion and Carriage House, The Filson’s home since 1986, and creation of a public, park­like, green space surrounding it all.

The renovated facilities will include updated exhibit gallery space, and beautiful, technologically­advanced library, reading rooms, and research facilities. All of the buildings on the new campus will be connected by elevated, glass­enclosed pedways, integrating all The Filson’s facilities.

The Campus Expansion Project, the largest civic­type building project in Old Louisville in a generation, and the resulting “New Filson,” will serve as a catalyst for further revitalization and redevelopment in the historic, urban Old Louisville neighborhood, and become a destination for tourists and scholars alike.

once again available for guided tours and special events. Neighbors, businesses, area walkers and runners, historians and preservationists gathered for the celebratory event.

The re-opening of the gatehouse, which serves as an anchor point of the Crescent Hill Reservoir, also signals the return of the highly popular “Walking Wednesdays” tours. Louisville Water staff offers guided tours the second Wednesday of each month from 11 a.m. – 7 p.m., providing information about the history of Louisville Water’s architecture and operations. Walking Wednesdays are scheduled from June – October.

Work on the gatehouse began in 2013 and includes both interior and exterior work. Except for repair work after the 1974 tornado, this is the first large-scale restoration of the gatehouse, which was designated a Kentucky Historic Site in 2010.

The building’s slate roof was completely replaced and the 3,000 tiles in the terra cotta ceiling were cleaned and restored. Part of the interior work included removing a ceiling that was added in the 1940s. Visitors now have a clear view of entire the structure.

Twin wrought iron circular stairways have been restored and the original valves are still present.

For more information about the restoration project, the Open House, and the schedule of “Walking Wednesdays” tours, please visit www.louisvillewater.com.

all share the two traits necessary to be a MOSAIC honoree: they are all international Americans, and they all have made significant contributions to their profession and community.

Beverly Bromley, Director of Development and Marketing for Jewish Family and Career Services had a hand in the titling and formulation of the event 10 years ago. JFCS is

a human services organization that works to help acclimate people who are new to Louisville or the country. She recalls that her Executive Director at the time was looking to hold a major fundraiser to benefit JFCS but hadn’t quite found the right event in line with the work of the organization and its mission statement. “Because we deal with so many human service issues that are generally not fun, having a charity ball just didn’t feel comfortable to me,” Bromley remembers.

To create the perfect event, she pulled together a team of volunteers with event planning experience who were willing to be creative and consider the mission of the company in the creation of the event. After a few different ideas, “it morphed into this event where we recognize immigrants and refugees who have made a significant contribution in their profession and have given back to our community,” Bromley states proudly. Thus, the MOSAIC – or Multicultural Opportunities for Success and Achievement In our Community – Awards were born.

This year’s event is expected to draw over 500 people to the downtown Marriott on May 21. The evening will begin with a 5:00 p.m. cocktail reception, which will also feature a showcase of business that have been trained and financially aided by the JFCS Navigate Enterprise Center. “Many new businesses only have a small budget for marketing,” asserts Dan Heffernam, Navigate Director. “By introducing our businesses to the people attending the MOSAIC Awards, we hope to generate interest in the products and services they provide and create new clients for them.”

Rosenberg then became the Director of AppalReD in eastern Kentucky, where he helped underprivileged clients acquire basic needs and protect themselves from exploitation. “So many people use the term good-doer, but this is a lot bigger than good-doer, ”Bromley declares. “He has a commitment within his soul that compels him to help these people and to do the right thing. Civil Rights is his banner, and everything he’s done to progress that issue is just astounding.”

The tenth annual MOSAIC Awards will take place Thursday, May 21 at 5:00 p.m. in the Louisville Marriott Downtown. Tickets are $125 per person, and table sponsorships begin at $1,500. For reservations, contact Beverly Bromley, JFCS Director of Development, at 502.452.6341, ext. 223 or bbromley@jfcslouisville.org

Next week, Rosenberg will be in the powerful company of Dr. George Digenis, Luis David Fuentes, Lalit Sarin and Van Tran to accept a MOSAIC Award. Although all parties are looking forward to the event itself, Bromley is sure to always keep in mind the reason the event exists.

“It puts a positive spotlight on international Americans that are here in our community, and it makes the community more aware of who these people are and what types of work they’re doing,” she contends. The event is, at its truest sense, is a celebration of diversity and those who have helped enrich the community, and with more than 20,000 international Americans living in Louisville, it is an event that positively represents such an important sector of the population.

“What’s really different about Orangetheory is that it’s heart -based interval training , and it’s really effective for the amount of time that you put in, and the amount that you gain from it,” explains Billy Davis. “This workout gets results.”

“The best thing about this is that we’ve been trying hard to create a great workplace for our people. And it’s great to work at a place where people care for you and love you – and a lot of folks have never had that. So when

“People value time,” continues Davis, who explains that all workouts at the gym last one hour. “You get an endorphin rush, and you want to come back again and again. It’s a one-hour workout. Half is heart rate-based intervals, and half strength and power training, with intensity. Everyone wears a heart rate monitor, so you see your output on the big screen as well.”

For Davis and Stiebling-Davis, Orangetheory has proven to be a new lease on

“We have 700 people who come here, and we know everyone by name,” he says.

And in time for their first anniversary, Orangetheory will be hosting a charity event that they have dubbed “Endure to End” – a chance for staff to raise money for their chosen causes, all while proving their insane fitness levels. Trainer Patrick Sims will spend 12 hours on a treadmill to raise money for HIV/AIDS, trainer Casandre Medel and Stiebling-Davis will spend six hours doing Orangetheory’s signature workout to raise awareness for deforestation, while Davis will spend 12 hours on a bike for another cause close to his heart.

“I am doing it to end the status quo,” he explains. “In Louisville, a lot of people talk about how many green spaces we have, and how many parks we have, but we really need to challenge the status quo. As a city we have been great at protecting those green spaces, but what we don’t have right now is enough facilities in the green spaces to be active.

So we’re giving our money to 21st Century Park, who are doing the Parklands at Floyd’s Fork. So it’s all about sustainable trails, and things you can be active on.”

People who are interested in donating can visit a website where they can donate directly to the cause. Then, they can attend the event on May 22 – and then celebrate Orangetheory’s first birthday that same day with a party at the gym.

And the secret to Orangetheory’s success might be the fact that anyone, regardless of fitness level, can start.

“All we’re asking is everyone to work out at a certain intensity to get the best results,” Davis says. “So it doesn’t matter what your fitness level is; we’re trying to go for the same intensity level. That way we level the playing field, and it’s competitive. But it’s competitive based on effort, and the result is a positive one.”

We are all ‘enduring to end’ for different charities.” VT For more information on Endure to End, visit www. enduretoend.org.

In Memoriam

Lawrence Nuetzel LaMaster Lawrence Nuetzel LaMaster, 61, died Tuesday, April 28, 2015.

Lawrence was preceded in death by his mother, Elaine Nuetzel LaMaster.

He is survived by his father, William Herndon LaMaster; his brother, William Herndon LaMaster Jr.; and his sister, Kelley Celeste LaMaster.

Lawrence grew up in St. Matthews, Ky., where he started his education at Holy Spirit Grade School and played quarterback for The Little League Colts, making lifelong friends. Attending St. Xavier High School, Lawrence honed his leadership skills and comedic personality with quick quips, many times at the expense of his teachers. He was a football player and excellent swimmer for the Tigers.

The University of Kentucky was his next educational experience, enrolling in 1971. There he joined his fun sister, Kelley, and brother (“Lipster”), as well as many cousins from Louisville and Lexington. The LaMaster clan cut a wide swatch of partying and merriment! Oh, what fun was had…

on a UK- sponsored trip to France and backpacked with a Eurorail pass throughout Europe. No problem; Lawrence was never alone, as people always gravitated to his jocular personality. He and a friend then bought a one- way, around-the-world, yearlong airline ticket heading west. Tahiti, Australia, Hong Kong, Burma (Yes, they slipped in despite the state department advice… Somehow they became Austrian citizens.), Thailand, Switzerland and Paris. Living at the foot of Little Nell in Aspen, he and a friend were “ski bums” and passed themselves off as ski instructors…

Right! They adventured through South America, hopping rides on military transport planes. While in Ecuador, there was a military coup d’etat. The blond Americans were held at gunpoint until a colonel rescued them, putting the boys on a plane to safety.

Lawrence was a loving son, fabulous brother and champion of the underdog. “The Ambassador of Laughter” was always in command of the room, never failing to elicit guffaws, horse laughs and, upon his exit, smiles all around the table. His ability to relate to the best of the best and those coming into full stride was like no one else. “I had fun” were his favorite words. He always did!

A member of the Pendennis Club, he was a beloved president, the celebrity squash ambassador. He started, with friends, the bachelors’ boxing night, the Kentucky Derby Dinner and Party, and other outstanding events, bringing friends together for wonderful camaraderie. Truly, only second to his love of family and friends, the Pendennis was his love, and he was devoted to her. Lawrence was also a member of the Thorough-

Lawrence graduated from UK with a BBA in the spring of 1974 and was always proud to display his sheepskin as proof that one can multi-task on the university level.

Shortly thereafter, Lawrence began a lifelong passion with traveling and adventure, taking the road less traveled. Some of the highlights: lived in Hawaii, forgot to get back M A Y 1 4 , 2 0 1 5 • W W W . V O I C E -T R I B U N E . C O M

bred Club of America where he held court before jaunting over to Keeneland for the beautiful horses and of course, ladies.

Lawrence was a man of dignity, and it was an honor to be among his family and friends. Lawrence LaMaster was a leader of extraordinary ability.

We, as a family, will miss him.

The second stop of the Triple Crown will stop by Pimlico’s racetrack. Will Bob Baffert claim another win?

Perhaps. But will it be American Pharoah or his stablemate Dortmund, that’s the real question.

If anyone had an excuse to take a breather during the day after the greatest two minutes in sports, it was Rozier. Instead, he was making an appearance at a 3-year-old's birthday party, posing for pictures, playing basketball with the party-goers, and enjoying some birthday cake for more than an hour. Why? Someone asked him to.

At the Hermitage Grand Gala on the night before Derby, Rozier had struck up a conversation with Louisville fan Meredith Haney. Haney let Rozier know that her 3-yearold son, Miles, was obsessed with him, that he always had to be Terry when he played basketball, and that his birthday party two days later would be centered around Rozier, complete with a number zero Louisville basketball jersey cake.

ment in March, she was proven wrong in the most delightful manner imaginable.

Teddy Bridgewater doesn't have much more free time than Rozier does. The 2015 NFL season is right around the corner, and the former Cardinal signal-caller is focused on proving that the 91 rookie records he set for the Minnesota Vikings last fall were not a fluke.

There as a time, however, when Bridgewater's status as a millionaire quarterback was far from a sure-thing, but Ashley Davis still felt the same way about him then as she does now. The Cardinal super fan fell in love with Bridgewater during his relatively pedestrian season, and spent 2 hours in the lobby of the team's hotel in Charlotte hoping to meet him during the week of the 2011 Belk Bowl. When she finally got the chance, she broke down in tears.

Bridgewater was far from a superstar at the time, and there was no guarantee that he would have extreme success at Louisville, let alone with the Minnesota Vikings. That didn't matter to Davis, who had already decided that Bridgewater was her favorite player, one she wouldn't forget regardless of how his career turned out.

Apparently Bridgewater committed himself to not forgetting either. That's why when he was alerted to the fact that Davis needed a date for her prom at Christian Academy, he agreed to step up to the task. He flew in from Las Vegas specifically for the event, and surprised Davis at her home.

Bridgewater then spent the rest of the evening doing whatever Davis wanted, including posing for every picture her envious classmates requested.

The big wins have all been worth celebrating, the championships have all been invigorating, but the character of the kids doing all the work ... that's what has been the most special part of this recent run of success for UofL athletics.

ittsburgh rolled out the red carpet for Bud Dupree last week, a sightseeing, food-feasting, meet-and-greet extravaganza. The city clearly knows how to treat its first-round Steeler draft picks.

What saved Blanda was his place-kicking. He was one of the best, and likely the last, of the traditional straight-ahead kickers, and it earned him a roster spot.

Sid Luckman, Johnny Lujack and Bobby Blanda was one of a group of failed NFL QBs to grab the AFL lifeline, along with Jack Kemp, Len Dawson, Al Dorow, Frank Tripucka, Tommy O’Connell and fellow ex-Wildcat Babe Parilli.

But Blanda was the best. In Houston, he guided the Oilers to the new league’s first two championships and was named first-team all-pro.

In seven seasons in Houston, Blanda led the AFL in all kinds of passing categories, most impressive perhaps his 36 TD passes in 1961 (seven in a single game), when he was named the AFL’s Player of the Year.

By 1967, Blanda was 40 years old. The Oilers cut him loose and Al Davis grabbed him for the Oakland Raiders. Daryle Lamonica, the original Mad Bomber, was the QB, so Blanda went back to just kicking. But it got him into the Super Bowl that season.

Defensive end Bud Dupree had 15 tackles versus the Vols last November.

It was on five Sunday afternoons in 1970, though, when 43-year-old Blanda won his keys to Canton. It began on October 25, against the hated Steelers. Blanda stepped in for an injured Lamonica and threw three touchdown passes in the second and third quarters to spark a 31-14 win.

The next week, he kicked a 48-yard field goal in the final minutes to tie Kansas City. Then John Madden again summoned him from the bullpen, against Cleveland. He tied the game with a fourth-quarter TD pass and won it with a 52-yard field goal.

On November 15, with the Raiders trailing Denver 19-17, Blanda relieved again, with a game-winning TD toss to Fred Biletnikoff. And on November 22, he kicked two fourth-quarter field goals, the last with eight seconds left, to top San Diego 20-17.

It was his age, sure, but it was also the drama of all the last-second, come-from-behind accomplishments, whether he was passing or kicking or just taking over the huddle. Those five autumn Sundays earned him AFC Player of the Year from The Sporting News and 1970 Male Athlete of the Year from The Associated Press.

Incredibly, he played another five seasons. In 1975, at 48, he finished off his career by kicking 13 field goals and completing one of three passing attempts for 11 yards – 26 years after leaving Kentucky for the NFL. He played longer than anyone ever had and, at the time, scored the most points. Not many pro football players got to live three lives, and for so many strong bosses: the curmudgeonly Halas, the combative Bud Adams, the take-no-prisoners Davis.

When Davis gave the Hall of Fame induction speech for Blanda in 1981, he said, “Blanda had the will to win – a fierce competitor with a God-given killer instinct to make it happen when the game was on the line. I really believe he’s the greatest clutch player I have ever seen in the history of pro football.” Wow! Not every boss Blanda had was such a big fan, though. One afternoon in the 1950s, as the Bears struggled and the Wrigley Field crowd chanted “We want Blanda!” Halas barked for his benchwarmer. When Blanda rushed over, buckling his helmet, Halas jerked his thumb toward the stands and said, “Get up there.

They’re calling for you.” VT W W W . V O I C E -T R I B U N E . C O M • M A Y 1 4 , 2 0 1 5

“I have great staff at Louisville city, who do their best to keep the load light on me,” said Estopinal.

A continuing workload of business ventures and companies, Estopinal finds enjoyment in watching the youth grow and develop their soccer skills through Mockingbird Valley Soccer and Kentucky Fire juniors, both developmental leagues in Louisville.

Being most proud of his local endeavors, such as the Louisville soccer complex and the big four park, TEG Architects continues to create catalytic work such as the New Albany Scribner YMCA to help revitalize the downtown area.

An owner with many talents, Wayne most enjoys creating things, that’s why he excels at architecture.

When he’s not juggling between hard hats and soccer balls, one of his favorite past times is running, as he has completed 30 marathons.

Look for the success of Louisville City FC to blossom and develop within their inaugural year and join in the exciting atmosphere of their games.

“I think Louisville City is going great, with 6 games in; we’re doing really well. We will be successful and it will not be for lack of effort, I can guarantee that. Everyone’s committed to it,” mentioned Estopinal. VT

But a 13-year for anothhis fourth Kentucky Derby win. er Derby triumph followed, and finally ended when American Pharoah provided him win number four.

With the scent of roses and memories of American Pharoah’s special day still fresh in mind, Baffert has turned his attention to a journey to Baltimore and Pimlico Race Course, where both American Pharoah and Kaleem Shah’s Dortmund, the Baffert-trained third-place finisher in Derby 141, will run in Saturday’s mile-and-three-sixteenths Preakness, the second jewel in racing’s Triple Crown.

“I know what it is to go through it (the Triple Crown),” Baffert said. “In the other my other races in which we went for the Triple Crown, I wasn’t thinking Triple Crown. I was thinking Preakness and then all the sudden afterwards, you go ‘Oh, boy, here we go.’ And then it’s not fun anymore and you’ve got to be thinking about that. But right now it’s fun.

“Let’s just get this one (the Preakness). Let’s get him (American Pharoah) ready for this, and then after that we’ll all know if he’s that kind of horse and if he can handle it. That’s what it’s all about.”

Regardless of what happens on Saturday, or three weeks further down the road at Belmont Park, Baffert seems to be a man with a satisfied mind. During that span of 13 years without a victory in the Kentucky Derby, he became a father again, and 10-year-old Bode Baffert was a near-constant companion during Derby Week at Churchill Downs. Three years ago, he endured a brush with mortality when he suffered a heart attack during a plane flight to Dubai.

But just days before his bid for a another win in the Triple Crown classic in Baltimore, Baffert remained gregarious, quick with a quip and ready with an easy laugh. That is, until he talked about his Kentucky Derby experience with owner-breeder Ahmed Zayat, who won his first Derby after three runner-up finishes, and all who are close to Baffert, his family and his stable.

Baffert insists his trip to Maryland is more about smiles than any shot at racing history.

Following his long gap between Derby wins, he finally made another walk across the Churchill Downs track to the winner’s circle that is used once each year. That real estate is reserved for the winner of the Kentucky Derby.

The words in that part of his conversation clearly traveled directly from his heart.

“I’ve been through all of that (with the Triple Crown), but the Derby, to me, matters most,” Baffert said. “There’s just something about it. It’s a different animal. It’s got its history, and it’s emotional.

“It’s just so hard to get across the track to that winner’s circle,” Baffert said Monday after watching American Pharoah and Dortmund gallop at Churchill Downs. “It was totally a different vibe for me this year. It was more an appreciation.

“I wish every trainer in the business could enjoy this moment that we go through. We work so hard and, to me, when you win the Derby it’s almost like a report card. You must have done something nice in your life to deserve something like this.” VT

“I’ve been here so many times. Before I

winners won the Derby and the Preakness, but could not take the Belmont. But despite those historic near-misses, Baffert insisted that the winning the Preakness, a race he also won with beaten Kentucky Derby favorites Point Given in 2001 and Lookin At Lucky in 2010, is his only objective at this point. With the pressure to win the Kentucky Derby with the favored American Pharoah now lifted, Baffert likened his Preakness journey to a trip to summer camp.

Cards Beat Out Seminoles The University of Louisville (40-12, 23-4) won a nailbiter against FSU at Jim Patterson Stadium 6-5 last Sunday, despite trailing 5-0 one point in the game.

The Seminoles ran out to 5-0 lead after five and a half innings only to see the Cardinals score six unanswered runs to clinch the series, with help from a Will Smith solo home run that broke the deadlock in the eighth to cap Louisville’s come-from-behind victory.

UofL 3B Zach Lucas (11) took a turn at the plate but was not able to get on base.

The bench greeted Will Smith (30) after his solo homer in the bottom of the eighth gave the Cards the go-ahead run.

UofL Head Coach Dan McDonald (3) made the decision to replace P Robert Strader (25) with Jake Sparger.

Zach Lucas (11) crossed the plate, cutting the Cards’ deficit to three.

FSU’s Ben DeLuzio (21) wanted to bunt but stepped back.

Head Coach Alan Jones gives all coached him in baseball. And in Alan’s words, they “lived” at the ballpark. His dad played a the credit to his players.

At age 20, Alan Jones married, and he and his wife had their first child when he was 21. It was a struggle for him, balancing being a young husband, father, and college student along with striving toward dreams and career aspirations.

But in his diligence, he developed character traits that have helped him in coaching.

“We’ve had some outstanding young ladies, a great group of players and girls who are community leaders now,” Jones said. “I’m not going to take credit for that; we’ve had great players to come in who have set and met their goals.

The program is where it is because of the players we’ve had.”

“I don’t know the word ‘no’ ever. I don’t ever accept, you ‘can’t do’ something, because you can do anything you want to do in life. I’m a big believer in that, and will always be a big believer in that. I preach to our players, that if you want something out of life, nothing can stand in front of you. Anything is possible, and if you work at it and stay working at it, you can do it.

Life is not fair, but if you work hard, set your mind to it, you can accomplish anything.”

Jones has been coaching softball for 23 years.

He joined the Ballard program in 1999, and has experienced new heights in coaching. His greatest joy in coaching is “watching a player set dreams, and watching them reach their dreams.”

“Most of our players want to play in college, and we’ve been successful in helping them do that,” he said. “The biggest joy in coach-

Specifically, Jones contributes his love of softball to the work he saw his dad put into the sport. “I really liked it so much that I continued doing (it) from 19 years old to now. If I didn’t have that in my life, I probably wouldn’t be coaching right now.”

After years of recent success, the school decided to name a tournament after Jones, called the Alan Jones Super Prep Round Robin Series, held annually at Ballard. Jones wanted the tournament to be named after his father, because of the mark the elder Jones made on the program throughout its history.

“I could have just quit and (gotten) a job, but I didn’t do that. I kept going. I worked three jobs and did what I had to do to be able to provide for my family, until I was able to get out of college and get the career path I wanted. I would say that’s helped me a lot in coaching.”

Now, because of Jones’ experience and ability to overcome and achieve goals, players who come through his program have eradicated the words “no” and “can’t” from their vocabularies.

Bruin softball players have held on to this message, and as a result, the program has become one of Kentucky’s elite programs. The basketball program may soon have to scoot over and share its spot as the top athletic program at Ballard High School. VT W W W . V O I C E -T R I B U N E . C O M • M A Y 1 4 , 2 0 1 5

It was not became a reality that much wider than the door to get in. all good things really do come With the 107 degree heat, our walkto an end. Our 115 day World ing tour changed into a ride on the free circle city tram. We took the Cruise on the Silversea Silver Partyline tram to the old San Felipe del Morro Whisper, which had begun on fortress, which was built in the 1500s.

The scheduled restaurant ports, and had our passports stamped was a welcome sight when we in 40 countries.

San Juan was fun. The cruise terminal is right in downtown Old San Juan, the most colorful part of this capital city. Since we had two sea days in which to pack after leaving Puerto Rico, we scheduled a shore excursion that included a lot of walking and a visit to a restaurant, where we participated in preparing mojitos and the main course of a lunch, which we then enjoyed.

The walking part of the tour focused on Old San Juan. The buildings are all in wonderful condition, as are the gardens, with trees

Since we were only a few blocks from our ship, we slowly returned to our floating home past a number of souvenir shops and street vendors hawking fake but well-made purses with familiar high end brand names. They looked pretty good to me.

Dinner with friends that evening was great fun. We laughed so much that there was great danger of being thrown out of the restaurant.

Not really. That evening’s entertainment was the much-looked-forward-to crew show, an entertainment not to be missed.

EAR ABBY: What do you say when someone has been raped?

I have a friend whose granddaughter was brutally raped and left for dead. I have asked a few questions about how she is doing and receive only cursory answers in response.

"welcomed."

Dear Abby JEANNE PHILLIPS

I know this incident has caused great sadness within this family. What do I say? What do I do?

I am at a loss for words, and don't know how to help. Any advice you can offer would be greatly appreciated. -- STYMIED IN ARIZONA DEAR STYMIED: You have shown your concern by asking. It should be clear to you that your friend is not comfortable discussing the family tragedy in detail. Now drop the subject, because sometimes being at a loss for words is a GOOD thing. When your friend is comfortable talking about it, he/she will do it without prompting.

••• DEAR ABBY: This past week I read to the students at a local grammar school. I read to kindergarteners, second- and fourth-graders. The children were great, quiet and attentive. They asked insightful questions about the stories.

The teachers, on the other hand, were a disappointment. They dressed the way I dress when I work in the yard -- jeans and T-shirts. What an unprofessional image they presented to these youngsters! They missed a wonderful opportunity to be a positive example of women in the workforce by displaying a total disregard for their appearance or the impact they have on young minds. -- SAD TO SEE IN NEVADA DEAR SAD: I, too, remember when teachers dressed more formally in the classroom. But that was then and this is now. On the bright side, one would hope that teachers gain the respect and affection of their students less on how they look and more on the love of learning they are able to instill.

••• DEAR ABBY: I recently took two days off from work to stay home with a cold. When I returned to work, a co-worker started commenting on how I might be contagious. Then during our lunch break, she commented that she didn't want me to sit next to her "because she didn't want to get sick." I told her there were plenty of other seats if she preferred to sit elsewhere, and sarcastically thanked her for making me feel

She continues to bring it up and is now pushing everyone to use hand sanitizer and sanitize their work areas.

I'm offended. I think it's rude. A couple of co-workers are now sick with similar symptoms. Is she being rude, or am I oversensitive? And how should I respond? -- OFFENDED IN THE MIDWEST

DEAR OFFENDED: Your co-worker isn't rude; she's a germaphobe and with good reason. If everyone was careful to use hand sanitizer and sanitize their workstations and shared surfaces -- door knobs, light switches, lunchroom equipment -- there would be fewer individuals taking sick days. In a case like this, you should stop being defensive. The best way to respond to the woman is not to respond at all.

••• DEAR ABBY: We have enjoyed an international dinner club with three other couples for many years. Besides an international theme, we occasionally have other theme dinners. The host couple chooses the country and is responsible for the main course. Another couple brings an associated entree, the third couple brings dessert and the fourth couple provides the wine. We rotate responsibilities so we host only once every four months.

We have become close friends over many memorable meals together, sharing pregnancy announcements, child rearing, graduations, weddings and anniversaries.

I think a “Dear Abby” dinner would be fun to host, and I’d love to plan a meal around your cookbooks. Would you please advise how this avid reader might get copies? -- CHEF MIKE IN CANADA DEAR CHEF MIKE: I know a Dear Abby dinner party would be enjoyable, because readers have written to tell me they’ve hosted one, and it made for an interesting and fun evening. The recipes are traditional, easy to read, simple to prepare and delicious.

As I mentioned to a reader from Little Rock who inquired about the booklet, one hostess described decorating her place cards with appliqued hearts and tiny flowers. She created a centerpiece by making a “bouquet” of envelopes addressed to Dear Abby.

Another woman copied questions from past columns, printed them out and made them into a party game, instructing her guests to supply the answers. She said that after a few glasses of wine, some of the answers they came up with were

hilarious, but not suitable for printing in a family newspaper.

My cookbooklet set contains more than 100 tasty recipes ranging from soups to salads, appetizers, main courses and desserts. The recipes can also be used for holiday celebrations and other special occasions. To order, send your name and mailing address, plus check or money order for $14 (U.S. funds) to: Dear Abby -- Cookbooklet Set, P.O. Box 447, Mount Morris, IL 610540447. My mother used many of these recipes for dinner parties, and so have I. I particularly recommend the Pecan Pie recipe -- which has been printed in this column before because it has taken prizes at county fairs. It was given to Mama by the chef at the now-demolished Phoenix Hotel in Lexington, Kentucky, and people rave about it.

••• DEAR ABBY: Folks always tell me that gals like to be wooed, but when I holler “woo” at them, they give me dirty looks. What’s up with that? -ABBY FAN FROM TWITTER DEAR FAN: Decades ago, “gals” would have been flattered. But since the women’s movement, many females would regard your attempt to be friendly as a form of sexual harassment rather than a compliment. Instead of “hollering,” try saying hello and you may get better results.

••• DEAR ABBY: I live in my parents’ home. They are long-haul truck drivers and come home every eight weeks or so for a few days. I’m disabled and have a caregiver who comes four days a week.

When my parents stop in and the caregiver is here, they expect her to do for them. They keep four dogs on the truck they take with them and leave four dogs at home with me -- so that’s eight dogs when they are here. I am extremely grateful for this home and I love them very much, but right now I feel like a house/dog-sitter.

My son has invited me to go on vacation with his family. Is it my responsibility to make arrangements for the dogs they have left here? I feel like a prisoner in my own home. -- HOUSE-SITTER IN THE SOUTH DEAR HOUSE-SITTER: Because the dogs have been left in your keeping, the responsibility for assuring their safety and well-being in your parents’ absence belongs to you. Ask your parents if they would mind a pet-sitter staying in the house when you vacation with your son, or if they would prefer the dogs be placed in a kennel.

••• Dear Abby is written by Abigail Van Buren, also known as Jeanne Phillips, and was founded by her mother, Pauline Phillips. Contact Dear Abby at www.DearAbby.com or P.O. Box 69440, Los Angeles, CA 90069.

Fitz Fitzgerald I love fashion because it’s an expression of self. It doesn’t matter what you do, or what you wear – it’s all about how you put it together.My style is a mix of classic and urban, so I’ll wear a lot of timeless pieces but I’ll pair them with trendy pieces. So I mix and match the two worlds – old and new. Ever since I was a kid my parents always gave me freedom, so that allowed me to express myself throughout the years and I fell into a career with it. Right now, I shop everywhere but online and thrifting is my favorite way of finding strange pieces and when I’m not working I’ll come up with some of the best jewels in my closet.

I love a good sports coat and loafers. You can’t go wrong with that.

I’ll put them with a pair of jeans, and it’s hard to mess that up. I think Louisville’s fashion scene is budding and steadily growing, and while we’re a little bit behind, I think with people, influences and events it forces us to develop into a fashion city. The way you improve that is when people dress to please themselves and not to impress the person they are sitting next to. People need to learn their size too. They need to understand that just because it zips, doesn’t mean it fits.

EAT of Louisville, Inc. has collaborated with Hwang’s Martial Arts and their Warrior Program, a martial arts program for children with autism, which meets at the Preston location. The program currently has 20 students and more on their wait list. Kids will learn to focus, get exercise, and learn the discipline of martial arts while increasing their own self-confidence. The Get Your FEAT Wet Swim program at Home of the Innocents and All About Kids continues to have a full schedule of children with autism learning to swim in a safe environment. The program remains a cornerstone of FEAT sponsored programs for kids. The Southwest YMCA is hoping to offer lessons in the late summer to children in South Louisville on the autism spectrum with FEAT’s collaborative efforts. The Dreams in Motion Summer Camp is offering 44 children, the highest number ever, an 8-week summer camp program for children on the spectrum. The camp is a coveted program because of the need to place children in a meaningful class for the summer, one that will not only be fun, but will be beneficial to them as well.

FEAT of Louisville

About Autism (Sept 25th). We offer events that are of interest to the community but also as a way to raise money for the programs we support and create.”

But sometimes, the fundraiser comes to them, a it did with the recent, “Brackets for Good” that pitted 64 local NPOs against one another in an NCAA type bracket in an effort to see who could raise the most money. And along the way, sponsors of the event, Bingham, Greenbaum & Doll, America’s Window, Sam Swope, Harding, Shymanski & Company PSC, and Valeo, donated additional funds to the winner of each round. In the final round, FEAT of Louisville brought home a Cinderella story being one of the smaller organizations, yet winning the entire “game”.

And the same can be said fo third year event “Rev ‘N Roll for Autism” – a motorcycle event that benefits FEAT of Louisville. Rick Tallhamer and Debra Paulin approached FEAT 3 years ago asking if they would be the benefactor of an event that they were already very good at promoting. The event, held on June 6, is a motorcycle run that starts at AMVETS Post 61, travels to Bluegrass Harley Davidson (Louisville), then to Loyal Order of Moose Lodge 1715 (Shelbyville), onto HalfTime’s Sports Grill (Mt Washington) and finally back to the

AMVETS Post 61. Along the way, participants can experience a dice run, 50/50s, door prizes and back at the AMVETS, a silent auction and pig roast. Rick says, “Our grandson has autism and we want to do whatever we can to help. We approached FEAT because we found that with a motorcycle run, it’s really a great way to raise awareness and funds for the charity. Through our years of motorcycling we have found that the biker community has a giving heart. Many already have a connection to autism, which brings it closer to home.” Rev ‘N Roll benefiting FEAT insures those giving out of their pockets that the funds raised local, stay in Louisville and the surrounding communities. “In addition to raising funds for this nonprofit organization we hope to raise awareness to families and individuals that may not know where to reach out for help. FEAT of Louisville can provide information for resources.”

“I’ve always heard it said, ‘it takes a village to raise a child,’” concludes Morton. “And with the support of those in our community who continually help us to raise the much needed funds, I believe we can help each child with autism in one way or another,” said Morton.

NPOs exist through the unselfish giving from others, a stream of volunteers and a vision…a vision to see something better for children on the autism spectrum. VT

And the list goes on and on. Families for Effective Autism Treatment of Louisville has a multitude of collaborations around Kentuckiana where they partner with preexisting providers and programs or create new ones. Each one is well thought out in its planning, delivery, and expected outcome. These are just some of the day-to-day planning’s of a non-profit organization in Louisville. But how does an NPO support the day-to-day?

“Through community, individuals, foundations, sponsors, grants, and fundraisers we carefully make sure that every dime donated is accounted for and spent wisely,” says Executive Dirtector, Deborah Morton. “It takes daily efforts presenting your cause to the community, selling in essence, the strategic plan of the organization.” Every program is funded through the money collected. “We have two major fundraisers each year, the Outrunning Autism 5K (May 30th) and our annual fall gala, Create a Stir COURTESY PHOTO

insanely good,” she said as I dove in.

Tastes

The ample serving of linguine with pancetta owes its great smells to a creative blend of red pepper flakes, Chianti red wine, and olive oil, all excellently jiving with delicious tomatoes and onions.

The special that day was the Florentine, a hearty bowl of linguine tossed with grilled chicken, mushrooms, sweet red peppers and baby spinach in a white wine cream sauce.

The entree had the signature qualities of a glass of Pinot Grigio – the wine cooked into the sauce – spirited, yet wonderfully calming.

WES KERRICK

The little Italian-American pub sits on the lackluster corner of Breckinridge and Swan streets, where residential and industrial buildings bestrew the northwest end of Germantown. It’s the perfect place for an eatery that, in both atmosphere and fare, doesn’t quite fit any of the trite categories where restaurants tend to settle.

“It’s homestyle Italian,” said owner Cathy Able-Zachari. “It’s big bowls of pasta like you would get on a Sunday afternoon if you’re at mom’s house.”

By 2011, Able-Zachari had already been working at Come Back Inn for 10 years. And she loved it. So when the owners retired, she bought the restaurant and took charge of its day-to-day operations.

You’ll find her tending the bar every night.

So when I sat at the bar to try some dishes, Able-Zachari was in her element.

First I sampled a pasta entree called the Amatraciana ($8.75). Able-Zachari had already been talking up its delectable aroma.

“Now this was the one that I said just smells

Both entrees were topped with grated parmesan and served with a breadstick.

“I’m surprised how many people that are on airplanes that are flying here that tell me they’ve sat next to somebody, and this is where they told them to come and eat,” Able-Zachari said.

In my hurry to try the pasta dishes, I had skipped over the house salad ($5.25). But circling back to it, I found a perfectly fresh bed of mesclun and romaine lettuce topped with slivered red onions, black olives and grated parmesan. It was served with a pleasingly piquant sundried tomato vinaigrette.

“We also do a gorgonzola dressing that is to-die-for,” Able-Zachari said.

The menu at Come Back Inn also features gyros, antipasto wontons, clams, pizza and a wide array of sandwiches.

Sitting there enjoying the cuisine, I was impressed with its seemingly contradictory qualities: light and delicate – not heavy or overly rich – yet abundantly filling. It was like eating white tablecloth food at a rugged, straight-shooting pizza joint; the portions you’d expect at a country cookin’ diner, yet the delicacy and subtlety of flavor you’d expect at a fine bistro.

Come Back Inn’s full bar offers four beers on tap: Sierra Nevada Pale Ale, Peroni (an Italian beer) and a couple of Kentucky-produced selections from Cumberland and West Sixth breweries.

And Able-Zachari always keeps some Lazzaroni Sambuca on hand. After your meal, she’ll be happy to offer you a complimentary sample of the authentic Italian liqueur.

Able-Zachari isn’t the only one who seems to have fallen in love with the little pub.

Five out of the six cooks have been working there more than 15 years.

“They’re all very creative,” she said. “We all make up specials.”

And most of the servers have been there more than 10 years.

“We’ve just always been known for huge quantity of food, great quality of food, at a really fair price,” Able-Zachari said.

That’s why a steady following of regulars stop in at least once a week. And when you try Come Back Inn, chances are, you’ll be coming back too. VT Come Back Inn is located at 909 Swan St. For more information, call 502.627.1777 or visit www.comebackinn.net.

Pitt Academy Bingo at the Sunshine

L

ast Saturday night the Sunshine Bingo Center was filled with people of different ages, all gathered for a $10 investment in a long night playing that classic game of chance.

Out & About

each had a long busy day and this was a very calm and stress-free environment.

emy hosts Bingo at the Sunshine at 7:30pm on Thursdays and Saturdays. They bring in players from all over.

The night is arranged with separate rounds where the game is played differently. It starts with Early Birds, Regular Bingo, Round Robin, followed by a fifteen-minute intermission and then a series of late games.

“Some people come from Indiana,” says Willa Walls. “A lot of people come from Spencer County, Bullitt County, Oldham County – they do come from all over. But we also have regulars who have been coming to our Bingo for twenty years.” Turnouts vary, depending on the season, according to Mike and Willa. Summer can be slow due to all the sporting events and activities in people’s schedules.

There’s always the help of that Walking in, we could smell the popcorn, nachos and soft pretzels in the air while those rattling numbered balls dominated the room’s white noise broken every minute by the calling of a new number through a man’s deep voice.

A little over two hundred people attentively marked numbers, while carrying on soft-spoken conversations.

Once we were seated with large sheets and daubers in hand, we found ourselves involved in the prospect of achieving an arrangement of dots on a page, which can win you anything between $75 to over a $1,000. Payouts depend on the type of game and the number of gamers in the hall. This is what we were doing on a Saturday night – and yet, it’s what we needed. We’d

old light-up board and TV monitors showing the pending number. It’s a game of paperwork.

From what I learned, there’s a lot of paperwork involved in simply setting up a bingo game, with the laws in place regarding games with cash prizes. Among other rules, no one under the age of eighteen can participate in playing, but kids are welcome to be present in the hall under supervision.

“Each hall has different sponsors for different nights. So the hall doesn’t run the Bingo.

The hall runs the concession,” says Mike Walls, who with his wife Willa, chair the Bingo for Pitt Academy – a school for kids with learning and communication disabilities. By law, each charity group gets up to two nights a week. Pitt Acad-

Mike Hoffman, the guy who calls out the numbers, has been dedicated to the event for fifteen years. “My son went to Pitt Academy,” says Hoffman. “So that’s what got me started and … the guy that chaired it for over twenty-five years – he came here every Friday. It’s unbelievable the time he gave up. Of course his son was also there (the school).”

Bingo nights are a tremendous contribution to the school to help keep tuition rates at a reasonable level. The Pitt Academy is also preparing for a move to a new location on Westport Road. They also take donations at the events.

Like I say, this is not a bad way to spend an evening night, when you want an easy-going atmosphere. Knowing that our cash is going to a noble charity is comforting. Plus, the hall’s concession is cheap with many food items to choose from. Even with late dinner plans ahead, we can never resist a corndog.

So check, check, check, check and, yes, even check.

She wanted the convenience of being near shopping but still secluded within a private enclave.

She wanted a first-floor master bedroom suite. (“It seems everybody’s doing that these days,” she said, “certainly people of my generation.”)

Her townhome in Smithfield Greene Condominiums is a 7-minute drive to Hunting Creek Country Club. She plays there every week, and is also a member of two ladies golf associations, so she plays regularly at various courses around Jefferson County.

A cabinet on one living room wall contains the trophies she has accumulated, a testament to a life of playing pretty good golf. “I’ve gotten older, so I don’t play as well as I used to,” she said. The day we were there, she had shot an 89 in the morning – but a 39 on the back nine.

So age apparently hasn’t destroyed her game entirely.

“There are certain challenges to all that, if you’ve never done it before,” she said. “You have to anticipate where you want to put your electrical outlets. That determines where you can put your lamps, which determines where you can put your furniture.”

“We’ve had tickets since the ’60s,” she said. “They were in my husband’s name, but I wrote, signed and sent in the checks. After a while, they contacted me. ‘If the tickets are in your husband’s name, he’ll have to sign the checks.’ So I said, ‘Well, he’s deceased.’ ” Wrong answer!

“We had to transfer ownership, in the process losing all our seniority points, which cost us any leverage when we signed up for the new seating plan. We’ve been moved from the 20-yard-line to the 10, and instead of four seats together, we now have two and two. We’ll see what happens. If I don’t like them, I’ll cancel and watch the games on TV.” But generally, she’s found she can get what she wants now.

Movie Diary: May 2015 Film BENNETT DUCKWORTH

I

bennettduckworth.blogspot.com

Bennett Duckworth is a film fanatic who lives in Louisville and goes to see a movie in the theater at least once a week. He has kept a movie review blog since September of 2011 with the mission of writing about every new release he sees, as well as new trends in film making and classic films he loves. Read more of his reviews at his website.

t’s not summer yet, but those big loud movies are making their entrances in a lineup of mega-budget sound and light shows. You or someone you love will be the reason for seeing one of these –like the new “Avengers” movie. I wish I could be part of the complacent fanboy attitude, which regards “Avengers: Age of Ultron” as fun. Sadly, I watched this movie twice and felt very little both times. It certainly isn’t bad, but it’s a more-of-the-same sequel

that’s unwilling to take any interesting steps in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

I am happy to realize that the somber dark science-fiction film that is “Ex Machina” has been slowly gathering an audience since it made its way to theaters in our region late last month.

This critically acclaimed directorial debut by writer Alex Garland (“28 Days Later,” “Sunshine” and “Dredd”) is an involving yet slow film, thematically similar to “Blade Runner” and “A.I.: Artificial Intelligence,” but tonally similar to Steven Soderbergh’s underrated 2002 film, “Solaris.” It’s a film that does aesthetic wonders with a claustrophobic atmosphere (through perfect special effects) while exploring the definition consciousness.

Coming out this month are two films, for which I am cautiously optimistic. “Mad Max: Fury Road” has no reason to be good, for the

64

simple reason that it is from an old director, attempting a comeback to his former glory after a long hiatus. This often hasn’t worked. George Lucas, George Romero, and now George Miller. However, every second of footage seen in the trailers shows off a visual accomplishment Miller only dreamed of, during the making of his original Mad Max Trilogy (1979 – 1985). I’m crossing my fingers that this is the over-the-top post-apocalyptic joy ride I want it to be.

Then there’s “Tomorrowland,” a Disney movie helmed by Brad Bird, who went from being one of the greatest animation directors living today, with films like “The Iron Giant” and “Ratatouille,” to proving his talents as an ambitious live-action director with “Mission: Impossible – Ghost Protocol” a few years ago. This film is his second live-action feature, starring George Clooney and Brit Robertson, inspired by the World’s Fair style areas of Disney theme parks. Bird’s imagination and knack for excitement is absolutely dependable. However, Damon Lindelof screenplays are full mystery and wonder matched with contradictions and no sense of payoff. Again, I pray it’s a great as it looks. VT

Maybe you haven’t eaten at the Twig & Leaf recently, but Ashlee Clark Thompson has. Her blog, Ashlee Eats (summarized by its motto, “Filet mignon appetite. Dollar menu budget.”) led to her first book, “Louisville Diners.” The book records her travels across the city to explore the fading art of affordable diners.

Thompson will sign copies at Crescent Hill’s Carmichael’s Bookstore on May 14, at 7 p.m.

But access to good food should not be a privilege.

and “fancier” restaurants without also having to think about race or class issues?

ACT: Often, the folks who put together these top 10 lists or hand out awards are looking for the next big thing in culinary innovation. These lists profile new and notable restaurants with big-name chefs at the helm. However, I have as much respect for a line cook at the Frontier Diner, who can keep all his orders straight, as I do for Chef Edward Lee. Diners and “fancier” restaurants are indeed apples and oranges, but you can’t dismiss either of them in terms of their importance to the diner scene.

Sure, they’re very different than one another, but to go with the apples/oranges comparison, they’re both still fruits. And sometimes, you might want an orange instead of an apple, or the apples out of season. We have to look at all of these restaurants to tell the full story of restaurant dining in Louisville. VT

When newer places make simple staples (tacos, barbecue, etc.) by hand and with better ingredients, some people complain about the increased cost to consumers.

Where do topics like expense or health – most diners being less than healthy – enter this discussion?

ACT: It’s hard to eat a healthy meal at a diner, especially when you see plates of biscuits and gravy and chili cheese fries pass you by. But it’s not impossible. You just have to be strategic – maybe choosing an egg white omelet loaded with vegetables instead of a regular omelet loaded with ham and cheese, for example. Eating healthfully while on a budget, both in restaurants and at home, is challenging and takes a lot of planning.

Louisville is becoming known for its new, progressive restaurants. Is this book a work of preservation of a dying culture, or a reminder of a vital scene that is often taken for granted?

ACT: The book is definitely a reminder of a vital scene often taken for granted. There are plenty of places in the city that keep churning out good food at good prices. It’s just that they don’t get as much attention as the newer, trendier restaurants in Louisville. Diners will always have an important part in the city’s dining culture, because these businesses provide food made for everyday life.

She wants to be an opera diva, or was it a SCUBA diver, or a teacher? She loves school, she loves her boots; she is a movie star. But when everyone is too busy to admire her new purple plastic purse, Lilly learns some hard lessons in patience, and the downside of being selfish. Join Lilly and her friends, Wilson and Chester, as they learn about fear, love, CHEESE, and the little joys in life.

Recommended for ages 4 and up.

Performances are May 16 at 11am & 2pm at the Kentucky Center. Tickets are $20 for adults; $15 for children 12 and under. To purchase tickets, go to the Kentucky Center Box Office at 501 W. Main Street, Louisville, call 502-584-7777, or go to www.kentuckycenter.org.

you, keep these important tips in mind: --Plan for privacy. If you're not used to sharing a hotel room with anyone other than your partner, now is not the time to experiment with "you take that double bed, and we'll take the other."

Your friends, too, will have their own comfort levels with sharing a room, even a two-bedroom suite, and especially with sharing a bathroom.

Separate rooms might be the way to go.

--Decide on a trip style. Do you want to go to a tropical island, or is a cruise more your style?

Cruises come in different shapes and sizes, from expedition cruises with adventure on the agenda to theme cruises, international cruises and luxury yacht cruises with a private staff and your own staterooms.

--Decide on your independence level. A guid-

--Decide on the right weather. You may feel achy in the cold, which could eliminate wintry vacation destinations, or you may hate humidity.

--Decide on a budget that works for all couples. Discussing money with friends is never comfortable, especially if one couple in your group is more monied than others. But if everyone searches for some budget-friendly options, you can agree as a group on an acceptable spending amount. Consider all-inclusive resorts that may not seem budget-best at first, but if you're not paying for every meal, snack and drink, this option could work for everyone.

--Start with a short trip. If you haven't traveled with another couple before, you don't know whether it's something you'll enjoy. Better to enjoy three quick days together than to be stuck on a two-week tour with friends whose traveling style doesn't mesh with yours. If you love it, you can always plan a longer trip next time.

--Think about accessibility for all members of your group. If a resort is hilly, your less mobile

friends may struggle getting around on foot and may not like having to be shuttled while everyone else strolls in the tropical moonlight.

by a shared dessert and fine wine or bubbly creates an unforgettable evening -- especially if the meal comes with a great view.

--Agree on time spent together versus time spent apart. Making a plan to "spend most of the trip together, but some time doing our own thing" gets everyone's expectations in line.

--Shopping. Duty-free shopping opens up opportunities to indulge. For many senior couples, the athletes may play golf or tennis on award-winning courses or courts, while the non-athletic may take the afternoon to visit the shops.

Some of the most popular adventures and activities include: --Cruises. It may be a four-hour sunset ferry ride around the island, or it may be an all-day sail aboard a private yacht with a short excursion for a gourmet lunch. MaryAnne DeMatteo Diamante, sales director for Jumby Bay Resort on an island off Antigua, says, "A yacht outing provides VIP service with your own staff, which can be a very special surprise for a group member having a milestone birthday or a couple having a special anniversary."

--Snorkeling. Being in the water may be comfortable for those with knee or back issues, and snorkeling in a great location provides activity and great scenery.

--Fine dining. Many resorts have spectacular chefs in residence, and a delectable meal followed

71

--Nature tours. Check with the concierge about the ease of guided hikes or bike tours, or explore your resort grounds on your own to photograph flowers, trees, ocean jetties and other sights.

--Private dinners on the beach. Again, this may be a surprise, but many resorts will set up a private candlelit table and serve dinner to you as the sun sets.

Before booking any vacation, always check with your doctor about any advice you should follow in the region of your vacation (such as taking extra cautions against mosquitoes), and be sure you have enough medication to allow for any delays in your return home. With your safety as a focus, you can enjoy your couples getaway. VT

or many, retirement is a time to relax and catch up on all of the books that you didn't have time to read between your job and raising kids. Retirement is for cruises and beach vacations, time spent with friends and cribbage. But your golden years can also be a great time for volunteering, especially if you haven't done so before.

"Senior volunteers make a significant impact in volunteering because they are able to impart their lifetime of skills and experiences to benefit our communities' pressing needs," says Ursula Walsh, OneOC's director of volunteer services.

OneOC, a full-service nonprofit resource center located in Orange County, California, is one of many organizations around the country that works alongside the Retired and Senior Volunteer Program, or RSVP. This program is one of the largest volunteer networks for people 55 or older, according to the Corporation for National and Community Service, its parent organization. RSVP helps seniors become active in their community, connecting them with others and developing their skills.

OneOC was on board with RSVP because of the area's growing population of seniors. Walsh says there are currently 387,600 seniors living in Orange County. This number will increase to 800,000 by 2025. And Orange County is not alone in an aging population. According to the Administration on Aging, those 65 or older were 13 percent of the overall population in 2010. That number will jump to 16.1 percent in 2020 and will hit almost 20 percent by 2030.

With more people in this demographic, there are so many opportunities for them to retain a sense of purpose and give back to their communities through volunteering. "Research shows that individuals giving time and talent are protecting their overall health twice as much as aspirin protects against heart disease," says Walsh. "In older adults, volunteering has been shown to reduce their mortality rate by 44 percent."

But if you have never volunteered before (and want the health benefits and the glow that come with giving your time and talent), how do you find the right spot for you? Walsh suggests looking to see whether there is a local RSVP chapter that can help you find a good match.

If you're out of range of RSVP, decide what you are passionate about and seek out organizations that are aligned with the causes you support.

If you like four-legged friends, check in with your local animal shelter and see if they need dog walkers (remember to choose tasks that are physically comfortable for you). If you would rather work with kids, see whether your area elementary school needs someone to tidy up the library or read to students.

Churches, parks and police stations typically have structured volunteer opportunities for seniors.

If you have access to the Internet, VolunteerMatch. com is a great database of volunteer activities in your area. Simply type in your location and the types of causes you care about, and the website will pull up all of the relevant opportunities. It even lets you search by date, if you have a specific timeframe that you are available to volunteer.

In 2013, RSVP volunteers in Orange County gave 191,000 hours in community service, totally over $4.7 million to their local community, according to Walsh. Volunteering is the gift that keeps on giving, no matter your age. VT

Programmable electronic medicine dispensers ensure that pills are taken on time, which is especially useful when multiple pills are required on a daily basis.

t was a very different world when many older adults were growing up. Televisions (for those who had one) were black-and-white with a limited number of channels, books had pages to turn, phones had rotary dials and were connected with actual wires, no man had yet walked on the moon, and "on line" actually meant standing with others and waiting your turn.

Over the decades, there have been numerous inventions and advancements. Seniors have been forced to learn to use "new-fangled machines" and technologies. Today's employers require computer and technological skills.

At home, televisions, washer/dryer combinations, stoves and even vacuum cleaners work off of programmable electronic controls. Facetime on phone and computer screens makes staying in touch with family members easier when miles separate them. Email and digital photos allow for instant sharing and interactions that can help to alleviate the loneliness and exclusion felt by less mobile seniors whose families live far away.

A Pew Research Center 2013 tracking survey regarding use of the Internet by seniors disclosed, "Two different groups of older Americans emerge. The first group (which leans toward younger, more highly educated, or more affluent seniors) has relatively substan-

tial technology assets, and also has a positive view toward the benefits of online platforms.

The other (which tends to be older and less affluent, often with significant challenges with health or disability) is largely disconnected from the world of digital tools and services, both physically and psychologically." Some older adults are limited when it comes to embracing new technology because of physical and visual impairments, financial hardship, limited incomes, difficulty learning to use new technologies, and an unwillingness to accept something they got along without for so many years.

There are several devices that make life easier and safer for seniors. Some help the elderly age in place and continue to live independently. Such devices monitor their well-being, keep them in close contact with emergency and medical response teams, and track their fitness and activity levels. Wireless sensors, worn as a pendant, feature an emergency push-button that allows someone to call for assistance even when they can't reach a phone. Many models also work in conjunction with sensors that can detect unusual events such as a fall or a lack of motion. Activity trackers worn by the

Rejuvenate Youth

The right technology can help enhance a senior's experience while accommodating visual, auditory or dexterity needs. E-readers allow the convenience of 24-hour shopping for new reading material from the user's location, On these devices, one can store hundreds of books, making them ideal for traveling, and users can download newspapers to easily switch between popular books and current events. Most dedicated e-readers offer multiple font sizes, making it convenient for the visually impaired. At least one, the Amazon Kindle, has a text-to-speech feature that allows readers to listen to a book.

There are no complicated connects; the e-reader downloads new material through Wi-Fi or 4G technology.

The telyHD TV adapter (which requires an HDMI connection) allows seniors to Skype with family. Computers such as the HP TouchSmart enable seniors to use social media sites, exchange emails, play games and do online research with touch screen, keyboard or voice activation. The Samsung Touch3 cellphone offers a simplified app menu, large "buttons" and a usage plan that caters more to the individual's needs.

Baby Boomers And Boomerangs

W

hen I turned 19, I started my first "real-world" job with the state of California. Even though I only held a student position, every paycheck I received took out a little bit extra that went to my retirement. I often complained that I was too young to even begin thinking about my retirement. However, my older (and wiser) co-workers urged me to continue saving for my retirement and recommended that I open up an individual retirement account or 401(k) plan. Although I left this job years ago, the advice I received about securing my future by saving up now resonates with me, especially as I get older.

My grandparents have been an unfortunate example of what many baby boomers are faced with today: working well past the "normal" retirement age. Furthermore, I know that my Generation Xer parents will suffer the same fate and will need to work beyond what many consider to be the normal retirement age. According to the Social Security Administration, those born between the 1940s and 1960s usually do not retire until they are about 66 years old. Moreover, those older adults who continue to work past the retirement age are normally not working for a company that offers a pension or payout. In addition, many have been laid off from companies that went under during the Great Recession. As a result, baby boomers have been forced to start over, competing for minimum-wage jobs alongside young adults and earning well below what they need to pay off their heavier debts of a mortgage, a car or even student loan payments.

Another disadvantage facing baby boomers hoping to retire early is that more and more young adults are choosing to move back home because of their own difficulties finding a job, despite spending years at a university to receive a degree. In 2012, Richard Fry from the Pew Research Center reported that "36 percent of the nation's young adults ages 18 to 31-- the so-called millennial generation -- were living in their parents' home." These young adults have been referred to as the "boomerang kids" for leaving home and then eventually returning back to Mom and Dad's (normally baby boomers or Gen Xers). Therefore, the issue of retirement is prevalent not only for baby boomers but also for millennials. In addition, the millennial generation is considered to be in even worse shape than their parents because it is more difficult for them to secure a well-paying job, purchase a car or begin saving up for a home in the future.

So, what can baby boomers do right now if they do not have the luxuries of a pension or payout? Jonathan Clements of MarketWatch illustrates the hypothetical but very realistic predicament that most baby boomers find themselves in: "Let's say your full Social Security retirement age is 66, at which point you could get $1,400 a month, equal to $16,800 a year. This is roughly the average amount that Social Security recipients are entitled to." Additionally, those retiring earlier than the average age of 66 will receive a smaller amount monthly. On the other hand, delaying retirement can help increase the amount. Clements claims that delaying benefits between the ages of 66 and 70 could increase

the amount to about $22,176 a year. However, this amount still proves to be a bleak and unlivable income, especially for older adults who are still paying off their debt, their children's debt and possibly even high medical bills resulting from simply getting older in age.

Therefore, the best advice for baby boomers and millennials is simply to save what you can while you can. Particularly for those a part of the baby boomer generation, it is crucial that whatever job you may have, at least some of your paycheck is going to your savings account. Unfortunately, the data above demonstrate that once older adults reach their 60s, there is usually only about a decade for them to save up enough money to secure their future because the retirement benefits simply won't cut it.

Millennials should follow the same advice. Although they are young and still starting out, the time to act is now. Saving a little bit each paycheck is crucial to securing a stable future.

Although the baby boomer and milliennial generations are on opposite sides of the age spectrum, they share common struggles in these hard economic times.

Retirement is no longer what is advertised on television and magazines. It's not about taking tropical vacations, spending time with loved ones and enjoying yourself after many years of hard work.

Retirement has become a daunting topic for both young and old. Therefore, it is never too early to think about your retirement or change the circumstances (if you are getting close to retirement) so that you may feel peaceful and happy when you finally make the decision to retire. VT

PUZZLES

pets of the week Lucy is a one-year-old Labrador retriever/ Australian cattle dog mix. As you can probably guess, she still has a lot of puppy play in her. Lucy loves to chase after balls and would love to play tug with you. Lucy will need someone who has time to take long walks with her and spend time playing. She loves to play.

She will need some work on her commands, but Lucy is up to the challenge. Lucy’s size and energy level make her ideal for a family with children older than 12. She’s spayed, micro-chipped and up-to-date on vaccinations. Come meet Lucy today at the Kentucky Humane Society’s Main Campus, 241 Steedly Drive.

Max is a six-year-old domestic shorthair mix with lovely buff fur and a mellow personality. He enjoys toys. Feathered ones are especially appreciated. Max’s former owner says that he was always a good cat and didn’t jump on counters.

When he isn’t playing, he likes to sit by a sunny window and sleep. Max is currently in a cat colony and appears to get along with the other cats. Would you be able to give him a happy home? He’s neutered, micro-chipped and up-to-date on his vaccinations. Come meet him today at the Kentucky Humane Society’s East Campus, 1000 Lyndon Lane.
