Tom Jurich and what an amazing job he’s done for UofL athletics – turning it into one of the nation’s elite programs. Elsewhere, Steve Kaufman caters to the blue half of the city by looking back on the Wildcats’ terrific and victorious weekend of football. Finally, John Asher looks back on the resounding success of the September meet at Churchill Downs, while also looking forward to the Breeder’s Cup in November at Keeneland – a true highlight of the horse racing calendar.

We are all very aware of the heavy amount of construction happening in the Louisville area right now, and yes, at times, it can be a real headache. But here shortly, we will be praising the company that is building the bridge: Walsh Construction Company. We had the privilege of working very closely with Walsh for the fall issue of The Voice of Louisville Magazine, and we are excited to share with you the progress of the bridge in this week’s feature story. Soon enough, the construction will be finished and traffic will move along better than ever before.

Oh, and we have a very special engagement story in this week’s issue. My dear friends Meagan Thomas and David Etscorn have so kindly shared their love story with us, and I am so excited to now share it with our readers. Lucky for me, I, too, have found my soul-mate and can attest to the wonder and fulfillment of marriage. I wish this amazing couple nothing but the best.

Since our cover story talks about the new bridge, we figured what better to profile than Jeffersonville, In.? Our own Hoosier, Remy Sisk, spent an afternoon in Jeffersonville to explore the city and see what there is to do in the nearby community. There was so much to see that this issue turned out to be a mini guide to Jeffersonville! From our Out & About to our Tastes, we discuss some of the staples of Jeffersonville and discover a new appreciation for the city that’s less than five minutes from downtown Louisville.

But we can’t let sweet stories slow us down – it was another busy week around town. The 11th annual Pink Tie Ball took place over the weekend with proceeds benefiting Susan G. Komen Louisville. October is breast cancer awareness month, and I am very supportive of events for a good cause, such as The Pink Tie Ball. Another event benefiting breast cancer research and treatment was Hope Scarves. This organization relays stories of hope to women who have recently been diagnosed with breast cancer, and they receive a head scarf from someone who is a previous breast cancer survivor. These events aren’t the only events doing great things for this community; take a look at the rest of this week’s galleries to see more.

Meanwhile, in Sports, Kent Taylor catches up with University of Louisville defensive tackle DeAngelo Brown to talk about how the Cardinals need to step it up to turn their season around. Mike Rutherford ruminates on

Be sure to pick up the newest edition of The Voice of Louisville. We have covered some amazing people, local stores and organizations. Please come celebrate this fall edition with me on Thursday, October 1 at 6 p.m. at Mesh! I promise this issue is worth celebrating. Until next week.

By STEVEN SCHAUER Project Manager, Ohio River Bridges Project, Downtown Crossing

told that over the past 40-some years, many area residents came to believe that construction of another bridge connecting Louisville and Southern Indiana probably would never happen. Yet, by January 2016 – less than three months from now – vehicles will begin crossing the Ohio River on the brand new downtown bridge. Actual construction of the new bridge and the I-65, I-64 and I-71 approaches to it from Kentucky and Indiana – from drilling deep into the bedrock below the river to connecting cable-stays at the top of the tallest tower 280 feet above the surface – has taken about two and a half years so far. That’s extremely fast for a project of this magnitude.

SIGNIFICANT TRAFFIC RELIEF COMING SOON When the new bridge opens to two-way traffic this winter, the majority of work on surface streets along the I-65 corridor in Louisville will be complete. Main, Market, Jefferson, Liberty, Floyd, and Jackson will reopen all lanes, eliminating construction-related congestion on those streets. Most of the remaining work on Louisville surface streets inside the project footprint will be along Witherspoon Street, River Road, Frankfort Avenue and Hancock Street. The ramp from I-64 East to I-65 South, closed since July 2013, will reopen to traffic late this year. (At the same time, however, the ramp from I-64 East to I-65 North will close and remain closed until late 2016.)

Louisville Mayor Greg Fischer speaks at a September 2015 news conference marking the bridge's progress since the June 2013 groundbreaking.

In Indiana, the old lanes of I-65 South from Brown’s Station Way to the Kennedy Bridge are being demolished, with new lanes to be built during the remainder of this year and in 2016. The ramp from US 31 South to Court Avenue – providing direct access to the Clark Memorial Bridge – opens in late September. In addition, the new flyover ramp from US 31 North to I-65 North is scheduled to open late this year, allowing drivers crossing the Clark Memorial Bridge direct access to I-65 North, rather than having to weave through Jeffersonville.

WHAT’S LEFT TO DO? Approximately 14 more months worth of work remain on the overall $1.3 billion down-

town crossing project, including $22 million in improvements to the existing Kennedy Bridge, which will enable this 52-year-old structure to continue serving the area for decades to come. The Kennedy will have to close in order for this work to be done. Initially, when two-way I-65 traffic moves to the new bridge, all but one lane of the Kennedy Bridge will close. That lane will allow temporary access from the Kennedy to I-64 and I-71. Full closure of the Kennedy is expected to follow about a month later, and last about six months. One lane of the Kennedy Bridge is expected to reopen by August 2016, restoring access from I-65 South to I-64 East and I-71 North. Access to I-64 West is expected to soon follow. The remaining lanes of the Kennedy Bridge will be closed until late 2016.

FINISHED PROJECT ALSO TO ENHANCE SAFETY The reconfiguration of Louisville’s “spaghetti junction” included in the project will eliminate many of the cross-traffic weaves and risky merges that area drivers have dealt with for years. When all construction is complete in December 2016, the I-65 cross-river roadway will increase from six lanes to 12, with six southbound lanes on the Kennedy Bridge and six northbound lanes on the new bridge. VT It is a pleasure for Walsh to be living and working in your communities. Thank you for your continued patience and understanding as we finish our work on the downtown bridge project.

facts

Since construction began in earnest in July 2013, the downtown crossing has employed more than 800 workers, a great number of whom are local. It includes the building of more than 60 overpasses and bridges and more than 60 retaining walls. Materials include nearly 540,000 feet of piling, more than 440,000 tons of asphalt, 50,000 cubic yards of concrete and 15.8 million pounds of steel. Depending on your point of view, it’s a project 40 long years – or just 30 short months – in the making.

anchor cities of the Big Four Railroad. A fountain modeled in the style of the Falls of the Ohio also decorates the space. The first business to get your attention outside Big Four Station, as the plaza is called, is the lovely Pearl Street Treats, a frozen yogurt shop. Lynn Rhodea opened her business during Thunder over Louisville 2014 and has seen a steady increase ever since. “On the weekends, it’s very busy – and during the summer,” Rhodea describes. “Sometimes it’s just wall-to-wall people with a line at the door. It’s fun!” As a testament to how many new visitors Jeffersonville has been getting over the last year or two, Rhodea displays a map of the world in her shop and asks visitors to put a pin in where they’re from. She just installed her second map due to the first one nearly overflowing with pins across the world. Right across the street from the sweets shop is at once one of the older businesses of the community and one of the newer ones. The Old Bridge Inn Bed & Breakfast has been open for 17 years, but Chestnuts and Pearls, a gallery and antiques shop located in the same building, just opened recently due to the completion of the pedestrian bridge. “People need to come in. People need a break from the weather,” contends Linda Williams, owner of both businesses. “It’s a service to the public, and while they’re here, there’s something for them to look at, which at the same time helps the artist.” She refers to any of the 15 local artists whose work is on display and for sale to passersby at Chestnuts and Pearls. Williams wanted to open some sort of business to accommodate the wealth of visitors but didn’t want to detract from other local establishments. “I didn’t want to compete … I saw a niche I could fill,” she explains. Williams’ space is unique indeed and stands as a wonderful exhibition for so many artists from Louisville and Southern Indiana. The gallery is only open Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays but often has special events, such as the upcoming Antiques at the Inn, taking place November 14 and 15. Another gallery in town also opened right after the bridge was completed. Gadabout Gallery is a little bit more of a walk from the bridge but nonetheless delightfully interesting and unique in its own way. Mary Lee Burnside, an employee at the gallery, remarks that at least 60 percent of the gallery’s visitors are first-timers who have crossed the bridge into town. What’s more is a lot of those people aren’t just new to Gadabout but new to Jeffersonville as a whole. And thanks to such quaint businesses as Gadabout, they are almost always immeP H O T O S B Y C H R I S H U M P H R E Y S | T H E V O I C E -T R I B U N E

diately charmed. “What’s overwhelmingly wonderful to hear is the positive comments. ‘How lovely your city is.’ ‘The art is so beautiful,’” Burnside relates. Although Gadabout is relatively new, there are multiple older business in town that have watched the city grow over the years. One of the most famous ones is Horner Novelty, which has been selling party supplies and costumes for nearly 30 years. Sales Floor Manager Jenny McAlpine says that over the last year or so, “We definitely have a lot more ‘lookers.’ On Fridays and Saturdays, they come in, they see us and say, ‘We never knew you were here!’ Then they come back another time.” The business has always been successful, but McAlpine is glad to see Jeffersonville becoming more often visited by its Louisville neighbors – especially during the Halloween season, Horner’s busiest time of year. With a whole second floor dedicated to Halloween, there’s nothing for the holiday you won’t find here.

Gadabout Gallery.

“We’re a specialty shop and we’re a one-of-a-kind,” McAlpine describes. “We don’t just have Halloween, but we do have Halloween year-round. We’re a party supply store too. I think it’s an interesting place and people enjoy coming in and looking – they see things in here they haven’t seen in 50 years.” There is no doubt that there is genuinely something in downtown Jeffersonville for everyone. And there’s still so many other businesses that populate the several blocks surrounding Big Four Station; plenty more restaurants, boutiques and art spaces that are ready to delight visitors and locals alike. And with Too Tired Bike & Bean – a bike repair shop and coffee shop – on the brink of opening the former part of its identity, it seems the city will only continue to grow in its rich and diverse offerings. Jeffersonville is a true community that works together to create a city where people are not only happy to live but also happy to visit. As Carolyn Minutillo, owner of Lavendar Hill – a floral and lifestyle shop – puts it, “I think people are pleasantly surprised when they cross the bridge. They’re discovering a neighborhood, and it’s not the same experience as when they’re on the Louisville side.” VT O C T O B E R 1 , 2 0 1 5 • W W W . V O I C E -T R I B U N E . C O M

business briefs CIVIL RIGHTS MARKER TRAIL DEDICATED DOWNTOWN A trail of 11 markers noting downtown Louisville civil rights demonstration spots was dedicated in a September 21 ceremony. The University of Louisville’s College of Arts and Sciences, Louisville Metro Council, Louisville Downtown Partnership and Office of Mayor Greg Fischer are project partners. Fischer, Louisville Metro Council President David Tandy and Arts and Sciences Dean Kimberly Kempf-Leonard spoke at the event, along with Rebecca Matheny, Louisville Downtown Partnership executive director; NAACP President Raoul Cunningham, who participated in the demonstrations; and student activist Ashley Belcher. The markers describe local demonstrations, when black students and adults marched and participated in sit-ins at downtown businesses that refused to serve African Americans. Activists organized a voter registration campaign that led to election of people responsive to their cause and, after more demonstrations, passage of the 1963 public accommodations ordinance to end that practice. The ordinance was considered the first for a southern city, and Louisville received national recognition for peaceful desegregation at that time. HOMELESS VETERAN OPENS FIRST “STYLE OFFICE” IN LOUISVILLE RaeShanda E.

HEAVEN HILL CAPS 2015 BOURBON FESTIVAL WEEKEND WITH DISTILLER OF THE YEAR AWARD FROM WHISKY MAGAZINE Heaven Hill Brands, the nation’s largest, independent family-owned and operated distilled spirits supplier, was recognized recently as Distiller of the Year in the Whisky Magazine “Icons of Whiskey – Americas” awards. Additionally, the Evan Williams Bourbon Experience was recognized as Visitors Attraction of the Year and Heaven Hill Whiskey Ambassador Bernie Lubbers was named American Whiskey Brand Ambassador of the Year. The awards happen to coincide with the company’s 80-year anniversary. “We are excited to receive these prestigious awards from Whisky Magazine,” said Max L. Shapira, Heaven Hill president. “As we celebrate our 80th anniversary, it is immensely gratifying to be recognized for the products which represent the heart and soul of our company. It is testimony to our commitment to quality and our team of Distillers led by Denny Potter and Craig Beam.” The Icons of Whiskey – Americas awards were presented at The Great Kentucky Bourbon Tasting & Gala during the Kentucky Bourbon Festival in Bardstown, Ky. UOFL SCHOLAR EARNS FULBRIGHT AWARD A Fort Thomas, Ky., native and May 2015 University of Louisville graduate recently learned that she has won a prestigious Fulbright award to teach in Brazil. Lora Danielle Robinette, who earned degrees in Spanish and political science from the College of Art and Sciences, is UofL’s 10th Fulbright scholar this year. She is currently teaching at Jefferson County Public Schools’ Thomas Jefferson Middle School as part of the Teach Kentucky program and taking graduate-level classes in UofL’s College of Education and Human Development to earn a master’s degree in teaching. “We offer our congratulations and are proud of Lora Danielle Robinette, our 10th Fulbright winner for 2015,” said university President James Ramsey. “UofL is committed to recruiting the very best students and then providing them every opportunity to be successful – preparing them for work, prestigious post-graduate scholarships and fellowships like the Fulbright and/or professional graduate school. We continue to attract the very best students and to produce as many Fulbright scholars as some of the nation’s most elite universities.” Most Fulbrights learn of their prize in May or June. However, Robinette – who was selected as an alternate for Ecuador – received a letter from the Fulbright Commission over the summer inviting her to apply for an award to Brazil because 42 additional positions had opened in that country. She only recently learned that she was one of the successful applicants. “I’m thrilled to receive a Fulbright English Teaching Assistant grant to Brazil,” Robinette said. “As a teacher in Jefferson County Public Schools, I hope to use my experiences to teach in Brazil while also continuing to grow as an educator.” Robinette will depart for her teaching assignment in February.

uation she lived and worked in New York City before returning to Louisville in 1960 where she spent the remainder of her life. Upon her return home, she married the love of her life, raised two children and began what would become a lifelong commitment to serving those in need. Early on she focused on resettling refugees from Southeast Asia through Catholic Charities. Later, she organized support for impoverished families in southeastern Kentucky through the Cranks Creek Survival Center. She personally participated in and supported a wide variety of animal rescue organizations. Her tireless efforts during the founding and early years of The Healing Place were instrumental to its growth and development as a Louisville and national treasure. Having suffered through a number of painful and debilitating illnesses in her later years, she found peace and solace through her work with village schools and orphanages in rural Poland. This would become the joy of her life. For her devotion and commitment to improving the lives of these children the Polish Minister of Education presented her with the National Education Committee Medal in December 2011at the Polish Embassy in Washington, DC. She would continue her cherished commitment to these children until her death.

It’s prototype, but he appears to have become the confidence of a guy comfortable with the UK’s most reliable middle-of-the-field, get- knowledge he can compete in the toughest conference in the country. 11-when-you-need-them receiver. Found: The tight end they thought they had, freshman C.J. Conrad, a big, mobile, sure-handed target who can roam the gaps and get into the end zone.

Catnip

Found: Sihiem King’s breakaway kick return potential. No, he didn’t break any against Missouri – but almost. A 48-yard kickoff return to start the second half might show what the freshman has in store for his career here. Found: Another defensive stopper. C.J. Johnson is 6-foot-3 and 300 pounds. He was in on 11 tackles and a sack against Missouri. He’s listed as a senior, but I don’t think I’d heard of him before the Florida game, when he had part of six tackles and a sack and broke up a pass with his long arms, big hands and imposing presence. Which is not unusual, with the way Mark Stoops and D.J. Eliot have run guys in and out of the front three or four, trying to find the right combinations. There’s a lot of talent in this group. Here’s another important element. This is an excellent defensive team.

Do they need a Dak Prescott? Not necessarily. They need steady and controlling, not making a lot of mistakes. Not scampering all over the backfield, like Tennessee’s Joshua Dobbs but running assertively when he has to, side-stepping the rush, freeing himself to buy time when his protection breaks down. And,

most of all, poise and patience.

And, by the way, this wasn’t the Louisiana-Monroe defense or UT-Martin; this was big, bad Missouri, which, we were told time and time again, recruits true brutes for its front sevens year after year. Maybe Kentucky found some offensive line combinations, too. Now if they could only lose those holdings and false starts and a tendency toward other destructive penalties that almost scuttled this otherwise outstanding effort. But you know what? They overcame those, time and again. Which is what good teams do. HATE AND OUT Do you hate as much as I do: • Saturday night games? College football is meant to be played on crisp, cool Saturday afternoons in the fall, not under the lights – and ending at 11 at night, when I’m trying hard to remain awake. • Brent Musberger? One of the disadvantages of night games on the SEC Network is this bombastic, over-the-top loudmouth who does most of his “analysis” by reading the notes in front of him. • The gray Kentucky uniforms? I’ve never heard Kentucky fans shout “Go, Gray!” It’s not a UK color. It looks like a road uniform. VT Kentucky’s Jojo Kemp fought for yards versus the Missouri defense. He rushed for a total of 66 yards.

Found: Jojo Kemp. Every time, it seems, just as BBN has fallen in love with Boom Williams, Kemp reminds us there’s another force to be reckoned with back there. There was that memorable South Carolina game last year, which he repeated against Carolina a couple of weeks ago. In the Mizzou game, he took over the ball-carrying duties in the third quarter, running for three long first downs on the way to the touchdown that put Kentucky ahead for the first time, 14-10. Then he carried the ball four straight times for important yardage on the final drive of the game, when

“I’m not interested in moving, and I don’t want to move. I’ve always said that the grass is extremely green in Louisville, and I feel comfortable saying this is the best job in college athletics.” – Louisville Athletic Director Tom Jurich

University of Louisville freshman quarterback Lamar Jackson was named ACC Rookie of the Week following Louisville’s 45-3 victory over Samford last Friday. Jackson broke the school record for rushing yards in a game by a quarterback with 184 yards – beating the previous mark of 162 set by Jim Wagoner in 1974. Jackson also set the record for total offense in a game by a freshman with 396 total yards, completing 15-for-22 passes for 212 passing yards and three touchdowns overall. name is out there,” Jurich said on 93.9 The Ville last week. “I don’t look for other jobs. I don’t want to be a candidate. I don’t know how my name got in there. I’m not interested in moving, and I don’t want to move. I’ve always said that the grass is extremely green in Louisville, and I feel comfortable saying this is the best job in college athletics. What is there not to like about my job?” This isn’t the first time that Jurich has referenced the “grass is greener” idiom when talking about his job or the University of Louisville in general. Though he would never make mention of it publicly, it’s been impossible for Jurich to not take notice of what has happened to those former UofL employees

who have let curiosity get the better of them and ventured over the fence to see how life suited them on the other side. First there was John L. Smith, who infamously remarked on his way out the door that Louisville fans needed to understand their place on the food chain and then promptly fell flat on his face at Michigan State and Arkansas. He’s now in his third season at Division II Fort Lewis College, where he’s compiled a 7-15 record so far. After turning down Tennessee in 2012, Charlie Strong stated that it was Howard Schnellenberger – who left Louisville for Oklahoma in 1995 and was promptly fired after one 5-5-1 season – telling him that he’d

never have a better job than the one at UofL that played a large part in convincing him to stay – at least for one more season. While the jury is still out on the Strong era at Texas, he has currently lost three more games than he’s won at a program that doesn’t have a whole lot of patience. The phenomenon makes the jump from the gridiron to the diamond in the form of Lelo Prado, who left Louisville baseball for South Florida following the 2006 season. While Dan McDonnell was busy taking the Cardinals to three College World Series appearances, Prado was unable to get the Bulls into the NCAA Tournament before stepping down in 2014. None of this is to say that Jurich wouldn’t have more success after jumping the fence than his past coaches – because every indication is that he would. It’s just to say that sometimes recognizing what you already have is the biggest key for having success in the future. Jurich has consistently made it apparent that he knows what he’s done, he knows what he has, and he has a pretty good idea of what he could potentially have down the road. Louisville isn’t just Tom Jurich’s home, it’s the home of the Jurich family. Don’t expect that to change anytime soon. VT W W W . V O I C E -T R I B U N E . C O M • O C T O B E R 1 , 2 0 1 5

DeAngelo Brown is the man in the middle of the UofL defense. Listed at 6 feet and 308 pounds, he can stuff the run and rush the passer. His sack on Notre Dame’s final drive last November helped push back a Fighting Irish field goal, which was eventually missed, sealing a 31-28 Cards win. A native of Savannah, Georgia, Brown has battled back from an Achilles injury early in his career to become a constant on the defensive front. How would you describe the feeling when you get to a quarterback and you know you have a sack? It’s a great feeling. It’s just a relief to know that you put so much work into it in the preseason and camp and all that stuff and all those practice reps. When you get there and hit him, it’s a blessing. It’s a great feeling.

before he wants to, you’re going to have a great play. We’ve got great guys in the backfield that can make plays.

When you put pressure on a passer, even if you don’t get the sack, how quickly do you know if you’ve forced a turnover, like the interception you forced against Clemson? Any time you can hit the quarterback or make him uneasy, make him throw the ball

How did you end up at Louisville from Savannah? Louisville was the first school to offer me out of high school. I really didn’t know too much about Louisville when they first called me. I just took a visit up here and I fell in love with it.

Being from Georgia, does it mean something to you now, that you’re playing for the guy who was the defensive coordinator at the University of Georgia? Yeah it’s great. Coach [Todd] Grantham is a great coach. He’s a great guy. He’s very smart, and I just love the scheme. Did he recruit you at all at Georgia? No, they didn’t recruit me. What did your sack on that final drive of the Notre Dame game mean for your confidence?

Just being able to make that play in a critical situation for my team, it was just a blessing. Those are plays that you dream of as a kid, on those types of stages and to just be able to make it – it was a big blessing. What are the keys you look for in any given play? What are the main things you focus on? Just studying film. I try to look at snap count indicators from the center to the quarterback. I try to look at how guys come off the ball and stuff like that. Just paying attention to detail and really focusing in on what the other team is doing. How do you get away from football? Just going to church, you know, worshiping God and just listening to the music. I just love listening to the music. You have a church here that you go to? Yes, I go to St. Stephen Baptist Church. Are there a lot of players that go to church together? Yeah, we have a lot of guys. Guys like Jermaine Reve, Corvin Lamb – a lot of those guys, we’ll get up on Sunday morning and go to church and just praise God. It’s great to get away a little bit. I love the game; I’m always around it; I’m always studying, always doing something, but you also need that time away from it. Just to do something else, and I feel like going to church really helps me out. VT

Brown Is Counting His Blessings

September Meet Wraps, Fall Frenzy Looms

f we have learned anything about the relatively new experience of September racing at Churchill Downs, it sounds something like this adage: “Don’t blink, you’ll miss something.”

The new meet would be offered as long as purses for the track’s spring and fall session were not harmed.

Horse Sense JOHN ASHER

There were some schedule changes in the third year of September racing beneath the Twin Spires. The 12-date schedule of the first two years was reduced by one, and the overall meet footprint was reduced to three weeks rather than four. Both changes were made to accommodate adjustments required in the Keeneland schedule for the Lexington track’s first job of hosting the Breeders’ Cup Championships October 30-31. But both on-track and off-track, business was solid, and strong performances by equine and human stars on the track pointed to ongoing interest in the meet. That is especially true for horsemen who want a presence for their stables in Kentucky throughout the year. Although Churchill Downs offered 109 races compared to 122 offered with an additional September date a year ago, daily purses rose by nearly two percent, and the average purse for a race during the 11-day 2015 session climbed nearly 4.5 percent to $33,082. The average purse remains a good bit lower than what is offered during Churchill Downs’ Spring Meet and the upcoming Fall session, but that was part of the deal when the track answered a call by owners and trainers to seek September dates.

That pledge held true in 2015, and slow growth for the September session continued. As a bonus, the size of the average race field weathered local and out-of-state competition for horses to finish at 7.96 horses, a slight increase from the 7.70 average from a year earlier.

Eight wins and a tie for third in the race for "leading jockey" made Marcelino Pedroza the pick as top jockey of the September Meet.

Inside the just-completed 11-day meet were plenty of interesting performances, for which we’ll offer accolades now: Jockey of the Meet: Corey Lanerie shook off an 0-for-Saratoga summer by earning “leading rider” honors in September and his ninth Churchill Downs riding crown. But my salute for rider of the meet goes to Marcelino Pedroza. He collected eight wins to finish in a threeway tie for third with Jon Court and Julien Leparoux. He finished 1-2-3 in 49 percent of his races, a tick higher than Lanerie’s in-the-money percentage with 22 additional mounts. Trainer of the Meet: Steve Asmussen and Dale Romans, 2-3 behind Bill Mott in all-time wins at Churchill Downs, tied for the September crown with six wins apiece, but my trainer of the meet honor goes to rising star Brendan Walsh. He finished with a 3-2-0 record from only nine starters that included a closing weekend stakes triumph by Saham in the $100,000, Grade III Jefferson Cup. Owner of the Meet: Texan Tom Durant won his first Churchill Downs “leading owner” crown from afar with a 3-1-0 record in four starts. He turned back all-time local win leaders and 24-time leading owners Ken and Sarah The runaway victory by Frivolous and jockey Jon Court in the Locust Grove earns John Asher's pick for best Horse of the September meet.

Ramsey, who snagged two wins while starting 13 more horses than Durant. Horse of the Meet: The vote here goes to G. Watts Humphrey’s homebred Frivolous, who romped over a solid fiend in the listed Locust Grove under jockey Jon Court for trainer Victoria Oliver, the owner’s daughter. The old gray mare keeps getting better and better, and Frivolous added the Locust Grove to Grade II stakes wins in the Falls City and Fleur De Lis at Churchill Downs since the end of November. Frivolous is in career-best form, and the odds will be enticing when the late-developing daughter of Empire Maker takes on fillies and mares in her next start in Keeneland’s Grade I Spinster and, if all goes well, the Breeders’ Cup Distaff over the same track. Best Story: Former claiming horse Geothermal scored the first stakes win of his career in taking the closing weekend $175,000 Lukas Classic, a race now named in honor of legendary four-time Kentucky Derby-winning trainer D. Wayne Lukas. An illness prevented the 80-year-old Hall of Fame trainer from presenting the winner’s trophy for his race, but the bet here is that Lukas will have to present that trophy to himself in a future running. With that, the torch is passed to Keeneland, and the wish here is for good luck and great weather for our friends in Lexington for the Fall Meet and first Breeders’ Cup host experience. It’s just over 30 days until we see you again at Churchill Downs and, of course, as of Thursday, only 218 days remain until Kentucky Derby 142. VT

There is something powerful about thousands of people all gathered for a common cause, the support of their respective team. When done right, it is a profound experience that can be intoxicating and addicting because it provides a sense of belonging like no other. That, in a nutshell, is what I believe is the most amazing aspect of Louisville City FC’s season so far. In terms of soccer and Louisville City, that sense of belonging and community is most often found in the supporters groups. No matter where you turn on City game day, and no matter what type of experience you are looking for, you can find it at Louisville Slugger Field. If you want a more structured and centralized group with the most members, you can visit the Coopers. Do you want more of a free-form, organic section that cheers whatever comes to mind? Well you can see our friends at the Black Sheep, or the Derby City Ultras. Or are you a family looking for a friendly experience with a supporters group? Scouse’s House in right field

The Derby City Ultras are going to be “hardcore and unpredictable” as told to me by Jay Kirkman. They are going to gravitate organically toward things that stir the passions of the supporters. Daniel Krebs with the Black Sheep brought a more light-hearted and cheeky tone to proceedings. When I asked him what the sheep bring to the game day experience, he said “We sing badly; we make ourselves laugh with our chants; and we love some cold ones.” Krebs focused on the laid-back nature of the group that does not worry about membership or organization.

porters share.” The Heretics, those who created the infamous “halftime, hug time” experience at Slugger, aim to provide an outside-the-box fan experience with a the-weirder-the-better mentality. Diverse interests and group characteristics aside, there are commonalities among the different groups. When I talked to representatives from each group, it was easy to see that they all just loved soccer. If you have not yet experienced a game with any of these groups, do yourself a favor and create a lasting experience. Come bang a drum with the Coopers. Come chant whatever comes to mind with the Ultras. Share a cold one and cheeky chant with the Black Sheep. Bring your family and wave some flags with Scouse’s House. Make sure to save your halftime for hug time with the Heretics. Above all, just follow the common advice of the supporters groups and be there. Come out October 3 for the team’s first ever playoff game and witness some great competition on the field – but not in the stands. VT

Scouse’s House provided a different perspective on game day experience. Michael Bromilow told me they focus on offering a family-oriented football experience. With that, Bromilow emphasized that their right field viewing spot is open to all who are new to the sport and wanting to learn. The best description came from his quote, “We offer a less boisterous alternative but with all the passion that true sup-

t. Xavier got past a tough host in Pleasure Ridge Park with a 21-13 win to extend their season record to 5-1. Tigers quaterback Desmond Ridder rushed for 93 yards and a touchdown while also throwing for 139 yards. PRP running back Montae Robinson pitched in with 160 yards rushing on 18 carries and a single touchdown, but it was not enough, as the Panthers fell to 4-2 for the season. St. Xavier’s win sets them up nicely for next week’s encounter with bitter rival Trinity, while PRP visits Male in their next encounter. LOOKING AHEAD Arguably the greatest Catholic rivalry in Kentucky high school football will be renewed October 2 at 8 p.m. when St. X and Trinity take the field of Papa Johns Cardinal Stadium. Last season, St. X ended a four game losing streak to the Shamrocks after defeating them 35-21. It was their first victory since 2009. Trinity will look to regain control of the series as it’s led by explosive wide receiver and UofL commit, Rodjay Burns. VT

the resources and support to take the program to the next level.”

High School

Pinkston’s experience in softball as a player, coach and administrator will be the driving force to take the Rockets program to the next level. She started as catcher and was the captain at UofL for four years. She then coached at Sacred Heart Academy for three years.

“I always looked at Assumption, Sports Report and admired the camaraderie and the sisterhood that Assumption RANDY had,” she says. “I always looked at What stood out to Pinkston the WHETSTONE JR. the high school and liked the enermost was that Assumption cargy. I carried that with me throughried its program much like a Diviout the years, and, as I was looking for job sion I program. “I’ve seen many college camopportunities in softball, I kept being led puses across the country, and when I toured back to Assumption. It felt right to join the Assumption’s facility, it is comparable to team there.” Division I schools,” she notes. “The leaders Pinkston transitioned from the University there understand what it takes to be successof Louisville director of softball operations to ful and are willing to raise the money to give the Rockets head softball coach. She began the girls the best opportunities they can.” her duties on September 1. She believes her experience with the game will be able to bring out the best in her play“I knew the program was already in a good ers. “I have seen where softball has come and spot,” she recounts. “I wanted to take over a have helped carve that path. I will draw a lot program and continue to build the momentum forward. I knew that with the leadership, on my experiences playing in the ACC and athletic director and principal, I would have the top SEC teams in the country to help

these young student athletes reach their full potential in whatever they want to do – if they want to play NAIA, Division I, II or III. It is giving them the tools they need to reach their goals in softball.” Pinkston says the major difference between working with college student athletes and high school student athletes is primarily age. “Being around college kids from a certain skill set, there is a difference between 14-year-olds and 21-year-olds. The skill set coming from a major Division I program to a major high school program is certainly going to be a change, but the passion and the joy and the love of the sport doesn’t change.” Now that she is working with teenagers versus young adults, her objective is to ready her kids for whatever will come after they graduate from Assumption. “My main goal is to prepare them for college, and my job is to make sure they are prepared for life after high school. That means making sure they get the best education they can possibly get. Assumption High School is academically a fabulous institution. So there has to be balance in training regiment and their studies. They are students first and then athletes. I want to make sure they have a well-balanced high school experience.” Pinkston is also the founder of Softball Preps, which focuses on developing young players who aspire to play softball at a higher level through private instruction, camps and clinics. She says her aim is to truly express her passion for the game of softball. “It is a tool for me to help young girls. Softball is something these girls enjoy to play. It is not something that is going to last a lifetime. I use it as a tool to help these kids gain confidence. So the time they are with me, they can forget about everything else, and when they leave they feel more confident and their skills are improving.” As she strives to send the Rockets higher and higher, she also believes Softball Preps will help the Assumption program. “I think it will help Assumption as far as me being out there with the youth and continuing to share my passion and knowledge for the game. It is awesome because there weren’t a whole lot of role models for young females coming up. So to be able to provide this for young players to better themselves is the goal. Assumption will benefit from that, but my passion is to be able to share my knowledge no matter what school they go to and no matter where they are headed.” VT

Return to the States...and Parties! BOURBON KINGS AUTHOR HONORED The other evening Babs and Lee Robinson held an intimate dinner party. The No. 1 New York Times best-selling author of the “Black Dagger Brotherhood” series and, most recently, “The Bourbon Kings” – J. R. Ward – was the guest of honor. Tall, slim, beautiful and gracious, she is the epitome of grace and courtesy.

Lee and Babs’ spectacularly gorgeous home on the bluffs above River Road was the perfect luxurious setting to entertain the author of what Amazon describes as, “The first novel in an enthralling new series set amid the shifting dynamics of a Southern family defined by wealth and privilege and compromised by secrets, deceit, and scandal...” Among the guests was David Rambo, who authored the first sixteen episodes of the hit TV series “CSI: Las Vegas.” Hmm. Might “The Bourbon Kings” be coming to television? Ward’s mother, Maxine Bird; Speed Museum CEO, Ghislain d’Humières; Sandra Frazier; Beaver McMahon; and Ward’s husband, Neville Blakemore filled out the guest list.

The Louisville Theatrical Association (LTA) is the community organization that presents PNC Broadway Across America at The Kentucky Center for the Performing Arts. Founded in 1938 as the Louisville Park Theatrical, it produced and presented summer stock musicals at the Iroquois Amphitheater using major stars in the principle roles and local talent in the chorus. Facing difficult financial times in the mid-1960s, it changed its role to presenting nationally produced touring shows. It’s mission is “to sustain the Broadway Series as a dynamic and primary source of performing arts entertainment; to maintain the series as a resource to enhance the quality of other arts activities in the Louisville area; to assist in the preservation of historic theatre properties; and to extend community participation in the arts through programs of education.”

RECORD-BREAKING HORSESHOES Last Sunday the Derby Museum, now under the presidential leadership of Pat Morgan held the unveiling of the World’s Largest Horseshoe, which has officially been recognized as a Guinness world record. At 6 feet 11 inches high and 6 feet 9 inches wide, it is a replica of a shoe worn by Secretariat, winner of the 1973 Kentucky Derby and ultimately the Triple Crown that year. The shoe was created in honor of the Derby Museum’s 30th Anniversary. Secretariat’s owner, Penny Chenery, was in attendance for the presentation.

LTA, as a civic not for profit organization, has a board of directors. Its chairman is David Roth and its president is Brad Broecker. The board has a contract with Broadway Across America to bring Louisville some of the best touring Broadway shows.

A poster at the museum said “We did the math. If Secretariat had been large enough to wear the horseshoe, he would have had to have been 94 feet 10 inches tall; his stride would have to have been 455 feet long; the Garland of Roses would have approximately 8,250 roses; his jockey, Ron Turcotte, would be 92 feet 3 inches tall; wearing all four horse shoes, he would weigh 23,696 pounds – roughly the same as a F/A Hornet jet fighter.”

At the September board meeting, held during the season opening production of “Cinderella,” it was announced that the organization had reached nearly 12,000 season ticket-holders, an all-time record.

The Derby Cafe, under the management of Philip Koenig and Kathy Hensley, served an amazing lunch buffet including a Bloody Mary bar, Hot Brown casserole, Paula Deen banana bread pudding and more. VT

Man Can’t Cope With Pregnant Girlfriend And Ailing Ex-Wife

EAR ABBY: My situation is upsetting, and I don’t know what to do anymore. My girlfriend, “Dana,” is pregnant. My ex-wife showed up at our door with terminal cancer and nowhere to go. When I told her she could stay with us, Dana moved out.

Dear Abby

and overall am happy. I have siblings and a mom who love me. The thing is – I don’t love her. It’s not because of “teenage angst”; I just don’t like her as a person. I’m polite to her, and she doesn’t know how I feel. How should I handle this? – CONCERNED DAUGHTER IN SAN FRANCISCO

JEANNE PHILLIPS

There is no one that my ex can rely on except me. I am torn. I love Dana and don’t want to lose her, but I can’t turn my back on someone who has no one in her life who cares. I wish Dana could understand what I’m going through. Please help. – IN TURMOIL IN WISCONSIN DEAR IN TURMOIL: Are you absolutely certain about your ex-wife’s prognosis? Have you verified it? Why is she your ex-wife? Why are you the only one in her life who cares? Has she burned all her other bridges? Without more information, your question is a tough one to answer. But if you love Dana, then the wrong woman is living with you. While you don’t have to turn your back on your ex if she truly is terminal, you should absolutely find her other living arrangements. ••• DEAR ABBY: I am five years older than my fiance. He has never been married and has a daughter. We have been together for a few years, and something has happened to make me wonder about him. I thought it was funny that he bought Cosmopolitan magazine every month and talked about his flat belly. But I recently found my Victoria’s Secret catalog hidden in his toolbox. I have also seen him look at other much younger women. Am I making something out of nothing? – SUSPICIOUS IN MAINE DEAR SUSPICIOUS: Yes. All men “look.” It goes along with being male. As to his having stashed your lingerie catalog in his toolbox, that’s rather chaste considering the number of men who buy Playboy and Hustler and watch online videos. I don’t know what conclusions you’re jumping to, but you’ll be better off clearing the air with your boyfriend rather than stewing about it. If you do it good-naturedly, it shouldn’t make him defensive, and you’ll get the answers you’re looking for. ••• DEAR ABBY: I’m 16 and lead a pretty good life. I attend a fantastic school, do well, have lots of friends

DEAR CONCERNED DAUGHTER: I think you should “handle it” by keeping your trap shut. Not every mother likes/loves her daughter all the time either, but the feeling usually passes. Consider this: Because you have so many positive things going on in your life, your mother may have had something to do with it, so try to be a little less judgmental. ••• DEAR ABBY: I have been married to “Neil” for seven years. I find him attractive, but when we’re intimate, my mind often wanders and Neil becomes “someone else.” There is always a provocative scenario, and he becomes a character. I feel guilty and ashamed. I have tried to visualize only my husband, but it doesn’t have the same effect. I have prayed about it, but I can’t stop. Because of my shame I have begun to reject him. Is there any hope? – HIDING SOMETHING IN FLORIDA

DEAR HIDING SOMETHING: Please stop punishing yourself. Sexual fantasies are nothing to be ashamed of – they are normal. Whether in your imagination you’re being made passionate love to by Brad Pitt, Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson or George Clooney, as long as it happens in your husband’s arms and you’re both enjoying it, you’re fine. ••• DEAR ABBY: What is proper protocol on who should greet whom first? I work in an office at the front desk and I’m in the office before other employees arrive. When they arrive, who should say good morning first, I or they? – EARLY BIRD IN THE EAST DEAR EARLY: If you are at the front desk, you are the “official greeter,” so rather than stand on ceremony, present a friendly demeanor and say hello first. A warm hello makes everyone’s day brighter, don’t you think? ••• 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 DearAbby.com or P.O. Box 69440, Los Angeles, CA 90069.

It’s easy to think that this sort of thing doesn’t happen in Louisville, but as recently as 2007, two parents challenged the reading of Toni Morrison’s “Beloved” in Eastern High School’s AP English class, claiming that the Pulitzer Prize-winning, antebellum-set novel was inappropriate for containing bestiality, racism and sex. The principal responded by mandating teachers instruct Nathaniel Hawthorne’s “The Scarlet Letter” instead. In 1994, William Faulkner’s “As I Lay Dying” was temporarily banned at Central High School because the book uses profanity and questions the existence of God. The same work was challenged for similar reasons in two other communities elsewhere in the state as were John Steinbeck’s “Of Mice and Men” and Kurt Vonnegut’s “Slaugh-

terhouse-Five.” In 2003, an official of the Pontifical Council for Culture, a department founded by Pope John Paul II as an instrument to interact with the followers of the Catholic faith, deemed the Harry Potter series to contain and foster Christian values, which did nothing to stop the books from being challenged, sometimes vehemently, in virtually every state in the nation. The Banned Books Week movement does have its detractors. Many believe that true banning does not occur in the United States because the selling of the book is never prohibited; merely its availability in schools and libraries is limited. Camila Alire, a former president of the American Library Association, states, however, that “when the library is asked to restrict access for others, that does indeed reflect an attempt at censorship.” Chris Johnson, a 19-year employee of the Louisville Free Public Library system, claims that urban fiction and graphic novels, despite the attempts of their authors to communicate with youth, are some of the more hotly contested items due to their depictions of violence and sexuality. When a classic is challenged, Johnson states that, while there is no official training to deal with the situation, librarians are advised to politely remind patrons of the book’s history and reasons for its placement in the library system. And that is perhaps the most significant effect of the censorship of literature: the silencing of history. As for myself, I will be taking the time this week to read noted Native American author Sherman Alexie’s National Book Award-winning “The Absolutely True Diary of a Part-Time Indian,” this year’s No. 1 banned book. I urge you to do the same. Pick a book from the list and stretch your mind. Need some help? Chris Johnson, or any librarian or bookseller, will be happy to assist. VT

HopeLine from Verizon collects no-longer-used wireless phones and accessories and turns them into support for domestic violence awareness and prevention. Donated devices are refurbished and recycled in an environmentally safe way. Verizon also donates new wireless phones through the HopeLine program, complete with service and data, to domestic violence shelters and non-profit organizations for use by survivors. We caught up with Trevor Thomas, Verizon public relations manager for Kentucky, Indiana and Michigan, to find out more. Why is this such an important cause? HopeLine phones serve as a vital link to support services in times of crisis and help survivors keep a private line of communication to family, friends and employers. Domestic violence is a national problem, and Verizon believes its network and technologies, as well as its employees, can be a part of the solution. In 2014, in Kentucky, 4,008 women, men and children received emergency and transitional shelter at one of the 15 member programs of the Kentucky Coalition Against Domestic Violence (KCADV), which is joining Verizon in the 2015 Kentucky HopeLine

Drive. KCADV provided nonresidential services to another 22,502 domestic violence survivors in Kentucky and answered 23,620 domestic violence-related calls.

How can people get involved with HopeLine? The 2015 Kentucky HopeLine Drive began September 9 and goes through until October 16. You can drop off devices and accessories in one of 350 locations throughout the Commonwealth, including in all Verizon corporate stores. More than 150 agencies are collecting devices – for a full list of locations, visit vzwmidwestarea.com/ kentucky-hopeline-drive-will-support-domestic-violence-survivors-transitioning-to-new-lives. In Kentucky, Verizon has donated $329,000 to domestic violence programs since 2012, including this year’s grants to help survivors transition to new lives free of violence. Which Kentucky organizations will be receiving HopeLine grants this year, and what projects will the grants fund? Verizon will present grants totaling $50,000 to KCADV for its Economic Empowerment Proj-

ect, which helps domestic violence survivors create an Individual Development Account (IDA), a restricted savings account for which KCADV matches their savings at a 4:1 ratio. Also to benefit is the Legal Aid Society of Louisville for its Collaboration and Advocacy to provide Safety and Empowerment (CASE) Project, Finally, the UK Office for Policy Studies on Violence Against Women [will benefit] for a pilot program to place UK students as interns at the GreenHouse17 and the Bluegrass Rape Crisis Center. Is there anything else you would like to add?

Verizon customers who are being abused or who are concerned about signs of potential abuse in a friend or loved one can dial #HOPE from any Verizon Wireless phone to reach the National Domestic Violence Hotline (1.800.799.7233 [SAFE] and TTY 1.800.787.3224. In Louisville, anyone can reach the Center for Women and Families at 581.7222 (Toll-free 844.237.2331). Don’t wait to get help. Please call. VT

The sandwich was the perfect Italian lunch: zesty and bursting with flavor but not too heavy as to make you regret it when you get back to your desk. Since Pasquantino informed us that Adrienne and Co. is slightly more bakery than cafe, we couldn’t let our visit be complete without sampling some of the desserts. Based on the owner’s recommendation, we ordered the cannoli – homemade sweet ricotta and mascarpone cheese in a pastry shell with chocolate chips – which was an absolute masterpiece.

Pasquantino and his sister currently have their eyes on two building next to their current site in hopes of expanding. For now though, they’re happy being the neighborhood meeting place. “You see so many people meeting here,” Pasquantino presents. “From politicians to judges to lawyers to professionals – it’s a neat place for people to come, sit down and get whatever they want.” And regardless of what they want, Adrienne and Co. is sure to serve up something quick, fresh and absolutely delicious.

Oh, and then we finished that off with ice cream. Because, why not? Jerry Alford and Ben Fraley are co-owners of the Widow’s Walk Ice Creamery in Clarksville – a small stand that sits alongside a building that in darker times would not look out of place in a horror film, with it’s tall conical spire. But instead, on a bright and sunny day, it’s a practical haven. Small tables sit outside the building and sparrows frolic in the shade. It’s frankly idyllic and would be a perfect place to unwind even without the bike ride and ice cream. Open since 1998 but owned by Alford and Fraley since 2006, the ice cream shop has also had bike rentals available for the last three years – something that Alford admits has kept the pair busy.

And so it was our turn to try and ride a bike. Foolishly, we attempted a tandem. Foolishly, not because it’s dangerous in any way but because if you want to go anywhere other than along a nice flat path, you are going to be pushing your tandem around. It’s heavy. But that’s probably more our fault than anyone else’s. But let it be said, the tandem is also really fun. It’s a delight from the moment you get on and realize teamwork is paramount (you really, really have to start pedaling at the same time) to the time it takes to get used to the turns, which are admittedly a little submarine-like. It’s also strange to pedal and not have to worry about steering – if you’re in the back that it is – it’s still one of the most important things if you’re at the front! But after a brief and albeit slightly sweaty experiment involving the tandem, we decided

to swap it out for some nice steady city bikes. Heck, they even had lovely bells on them which you could ring while you swanned around. The path we chose stretched along the water in the direction of New Albany and was part of the Falls of the Ohio State Park – another great place to visit for epic scenery. The bike path as it is right now only extends for two miles, but that was more than enough. In those two miles, we saw wonders. We saw a snake cross the path as we were cycling; there was a dog that threatened to chase us but ultimately decided not to; and there was the ever-present view of Louisville across the river In an ideal world, where money is no object, the old railway bridge connecting Kentucky and Indiana will one day be a walking bridge that connects to the mooted plans to extend Louisville’s Waterfront Park all the way to Portland. So imagine a loop that would take you all the way around the two states on a continuous path. When we got back to the shop, we had ice cream. Chris had sherbert while I plumbed for cookies and cream. Mine was the tastier choice, because cookies and cream – an unquestionably refreshing way to end a couple of hours of cycling around a thin strip of land in Indiana. The business closes for the season at the end of October, so be sure to check out the bikes and ice cream while you still can. VT Widows Walk is located at 415 E.

Courtesy of Altobellis, Underhill and Campbell were given carte blanche in terms

of the changes they could introduce into the new home. But like all great designers, they knew that they needed to fulfill two important tasks – make the home comfortable and adhere to the tastes of their client. No room fits this bill more so than the kitchen.

“Dr. Altobellis really wanted this overall image of Hamptons in her kitchen with a little bit of French kitchen,” explains Underhill. It meant that the kitchen received brand

new appliances, new backsplashes with graphic tiles and soft colors throughout. Wooden floors that extend throughout the house, courtesy of Underhill and Campbell, only accentuate that further. The kitchen also segues effortlessly into the breakfast room – a couch opposite a stunning three-piece custom coffee table. The goal was to make the kitchen and the breakfast area seamlessly one room because, as in most homes, the place you eat is the heart of the house. “This is the life of the house,” affirms Underhill. “This is where they live.” The table is the real highlight, a custom piece obtained by Underhill and Campbell, the acquiring of

which is something they pride themselves on being able to do as a design company. The room is wholesome, cozy and a place you would want to spend all your time, exactly what Altobellis wanted Underhill and Campbell to achieve – a space that is both aesthetically pleasing and inviting. “In the design world, we say that we like it to be beautiful,” explains Campbell “But we like it to be functional. Stephanie also loved the idea that she would have furniture that would not be available here in Louisville.” While the home contains a large swathe of Altobellis’ own furniture, Underhill and Campbell were keen to add flourishes to the home that would be statement pieces as well. This is most evidenced throughout the house in the light fixtures. Underhill and Campbell are exceptionally proud of the chandeliers that are dotted throughout the home – all successful executions of elegance, an undoubted challenge when it comes to chandeliers and their resplendence. From the antler chandelier in the foyer to the glistening classic example that’s the centerpiece of Altobellis’ bedroom, the fixtures speak of taste and timelessness.

In Dr. Altobellis’ home, that philosophy has been distilled perfectly. Altobellis’ own personal art, mementos and favorite furniture is combined effortlessly with Underhill and Campbell’s own design brilliance. “We like to show people how to make exceptional living a way of life and show people how their homes can be both beautiful and functional. When people think of design, they think they can’t afford it, but it turns out that we can do it for them and do it affordably.” VT For more information visit underhillsmithdesigns.com

“While there are plenty of crystals it’s still very light,” says Underhill of the bedroom chandelier, the glitz of which is matched by a nearby mirrored table.

Other undoubted highlights in the home include a music room. Formerly a home office, the wood paneling serves as a beautiful backdrop to a Yamaha baby grand piano, an instrument one of Dr. Altobellis’ two sons plays. An antique cabinet in the corner complements the wooden interior nicely, while the bountiful natural light makes the space chamber of calm: a haven away from the bustle of having two sons.

THOMAS-ETSCORN ENGAGEMENT ANNOUNCEMENT

avid Etscorn and Megan Thomas had both unsuccessfully given marriage a shot. But then they met each other and saw unexpected sparks fly. “I had always said that I would never ever get married again,” Thomas recalls. “Now I think you should never say never because if you meet the right person, then it doesn’t matter.”

mountains near Asheville, North Carolina. The gentleman he is, Etscorn wanted to send his beloved flowers on this special day. But due to the isolation of the vacation home, the flowers couldn’t be delivered all the way to the house itself. Consequently, Etscorn bit the bullet and phoned Thomas’ friends, asking them to pick up the flowers.

a proposal.

Etscorn and Thomas began their relationship privately so as to limit the gossip that would inevitably surround the high-profile pair. “I wanted her to get to know me before she got to know of me!” Etscorn humorously recounts.

Thomas returned from the vacation more in love with Etscorn than ever, and the pair soon found themselves ready for marriage despite both previously having thought they were finished with that part of their lives. And so, on a weekend trip to a UofL game in Atlanta, Etscorn planned his proposal to Thomas.

With that, the ring was presented, and Thomas, euphoric and astounded, exclaimed, “You’re not doing this right now!” But he was, and he did. The couple is now engaged to be married next year.

The pair hit it off famously during the early stages of the relationship, so when their romance became public knowledge, it was of little concern to either of them. It didn’t hurt, either, that everyone found out due to Etscorn committing an act of true Hollywood romance. During a certain Valentine’s Day, Thomas was vacationing with girlfriends in remote

He kept his plan a secret; only his jeweler knew. He rented a room in the back of an Atlanta bar the pair was to visit and, upon leaving the bar together, Etscorn told Thomas he had left his phone in the back. She followed him to retrieve it, and when they arrived at the room, she was surprised with

“You know I can’t live without you,” Etscorn told her. “I know you can’t,” she replied. And then came his big moment: “I can only live the rest of my journey if it’s with you. I never thought that in a million years I would find someone who would challenge me, and I can’t live the rest of my life without you.”

Though she was shocked, there is nothing Thomas would have changed about the proposal. It was classy, fun and entirely romantic, which is essentially just like Etscorn and Thomas themselves. They’re reminiscent of a timeless romance but relish spontaneity and having fun together. It’s a true Hollywood love story for two people who so deserve the love they have found with each other.

PUZZLES

pets of the week Four-year-old Shadow came to KHS when the person she loved went away to college. Now she’s alone and hoping to find a person who can love her forever. She is shy around visitors and takes a little time to warm up, but when she does, she is the most affectionate little Tortoiseshell cat you have ever met. She loves to sit in your lap and rub her head against your chin while you pet her. Would you take the time to bring this adorable Tortie out of her shell? She’s spayed, micro-chipped and up-to-date on her vaccinations. Come meet her today at the Kentucky Humane Society, 241 Steedly Drive. Seven-year-old Sadie is a mix between an Australian Shepherd and an Australian Cattle Dog. Sadie is a gentle soul who knows basic commands. She appears to have spent much of her life outdoors but really wants to give living indoors a chance. Sadie would love long walks and time playing fetch. Sadie is also happy to spend time at your feet, getting the occasional rub, knowing that her people are there. Could you be the one who takes her away from the shelter and make her dreams come true? She’s spayed, microchipped and up-to-date on her vaccinations. Come meet her today at the Kentucky Humane Society’s East Campus, 1000 Lyndon Lane.
