I would give anything if we had missed the mark this week. I wish our feature story was so irrelevant and unnecessary it didn’t need to be written. Unfortunately, the distinction of October as (the much less popular) Domestic Violence Awareness Month indicates the topic is quite germane to this platform of attention. Our coverage aims to empower women to become #FreeToWalk from a dangerous situation that has left them feeling paralyzed and helpless. You may ask what the images on our cover of an adorable dog and a purple purse have to do with a topic as serious as domestic violence. According to The Center for Women and Families, 68 percent of women who have reported domestic violence also report abuse to their animals. The thought of abandoning a pet in an abusive environment often leads to a victim’s delay from leaving. Luckily, The Center can facilitate the temporary lodging of beloved pets through the Safe Haven program, generously expanded by a gift from the Sam Swope Family Foundation. The Allstate Foundation Purple Purse Challenge is a relatively new effort gaining momentum to spread awareness of domestic and economic abuse. A lack of credit history, financial independence or basic financially literacy are also circumstances that lead women in abusive relationships to stay where they are unsafe. The purple purse serves as a symbol for women to take control of their personal finances and the money donated this Tonya Abeln month through the Purple Purse Challenge is matched by The Allstate Foundation and funneled to nonprofits like The Center for Women and Families, offering a fresh start and resources for victims and survivors to heal. John Rugel, senior vice president of life, underwriting and claims at Allstate Insurance Company makes a compelling point, when he says, “This is not a problem that women can solve alone.” He’s right. Empathy is a human quality that allows someone to imagine the suffering of another and seek to minimize it when possible. Lack of empathy denotes a character that is badly damaged, and it is essential to determine how and why this happened. “In order to have healthy relationships,” Rugel explains, “men have to be open to talking about difficult topics like domestic violence.” It is my hope that this week’s issue will help to facilitate those necessary yet uncomfortable conversations.

What The Center for Women and Families is doing to help victims (both human and animal) of domestic violence Story by Jenna Esarey

Victims of domestic violence often feel they cannot escape their situation. Sometimes it is the fear of retribution from their abuser. Often it is a matter of financial dependency on the abuser. But it can be done. October is Domestic Violence Awareness Month, and The Center for Women and Families is working hard to spread the word on the services they offer to protect and educate victims to help them permanently flee abusive situations.

SAFE HAVEN While some victims are afraid to speak out, some literally can’t—like Bear, a Pomeranian that suffered severe trauma while living in a home with domestic abuse. Bear’s owner sought shelter at The Center, bringing her pet with her through the Safe Haven program. “Sixty-eight percent of women who have reported domestic violence also reported abuse to their pets,” explains Jeanine Triplett, vice-president of development and communications for The Center. “There is a strong correlation.” In partnership with the Kentucky Humane Society, The Center opened Safe Haven in 2001, providing safe, temporary housing for pets whose owners might otherwise not have left for fear of abandoning them. Animals can stay at The Center for 48 hours. “If they can’t resolve their issues or they need more time, the Humane Society takes them and finds a foster home for them,” Triplett says. The secure, anonymous foster homes keep the animals for up to 90 days, giving the original family time to find secure housing. To prevent abusers from possibly tracking down the families, animal fosters are not allowed to post photos of the animals to social media sites.

On October 4, The Center and KHS held a joint press conference announcing the complete renovation of the Safe Haven spaces at The Center.

“Animals are like people, they have trauma if they’re not in the right spaces.” - JEANINE TRIPLETT

Since they started keeping track in 2011, 48 animals have been helped through Safe Haven. About 50 percent of the animals were reunited with their owners. The rest were adopted to new, loving homes. “Safe Haven is a real benefit because animals can’t come to us until we’re actually open,” said Beth Haendiges, public relations marketing manager for KHS. “Sometimes they come in the middle of the night.” She continues, “Almost any of them that come in are traumatized. Generally, the animals that have come in have, at a minimum, witnessed violence. Some have been hurt themselves. Some have been beaten and abused as a way to keep the person in line.” O C T O B E R 2 0 , 2 0 1 6 • V O I C E -T R I B U N E . C O M

“We completely renovated the whole building a year ago,” Triplett explains. “The space we ended up designating ended up being more of a pet closet than a pet room. It was on the map, but just wasn’t a priority. The space worked, but wasn’t ideal.” Enter the Sam Swope Family Foundation and its $100,000 gift to The Center to fund two new pet spaces. “Patti Swope has a real passion for animals and is also real supportive of what we do,” says Triplett. The original room is now the cat room, complete with a climbing space and cat condo. The new dog room is about twice the size and features professional kennels and food and toy storage.

“It’s very nice,” Triplett exclaims. “It’s a nice, big space for the animals. Animals are like people, they have trauma if they’re not in the right spaces.” Angie Durgasingh, customer care manager with KHS, fostered Bear in 2012. She and others at KHS saw signs of his trauma. “Bear would tremble and hide anytime somebody new came along,” Haendiges recalls. “If voices were raised he would hide or snuggle close to Angie.” When the original owner was unable to resume caring for Bear, Angie adopted him. “He does great now,” Haendiges reports. “He still takes a little time to warm up to new people, but he is very responsive. He’s a very happy dog now.” PURPLE PURSE CAMPAIGN Lack of financial skills and resources is the main reason survivors of domestic violence stay in an abusive relationship. Often, the abuser holds complete control over the household finances. The Center provides education and financial counseling to survivors to give them the skills they need to take over their own finances and establish credit in their own name. To raise more money for their efforts, The Center has partnered with the Allstate Foundation’s Purple Purse Challenge, a monthlong online fundraising competition held every October. PHOTOS BY TIM VALENTINO

Last year they raised about $41,000. The Center’s 2016 goal is $50,000. The campaign ends October 25. Established in 2014, the first Purple Purse Challenge raised nearly $2.5 million. Last year’s event raised nearly $3.1 million for more than 160 community partners. This year, up to 250 organizations, including The Center, are taking part.

“A lot of individuals won’t leave because of financial dependency,” says Triplett. “We helped a woman who was married for 15 years. He had control of everything. She had no credit – he wouldn’t allow her to have any. “It’s about power and control. With domestic violence and sexual assault situations it’s not

about sex. It’s about control.” The Challenge supports Allstate Foundation’s Purple Purse, financial education and empowerment services that help domestic abuse survivors build better lives for themselves and their families. Since 2005 Purple Purse has spent over $50 million and assisted over 800,000 survivors. “They have grants and programs for women,” Triplett says. “When someone comes in, we have an individual on board who can help them write a resume, choose appropriate clothing for an interview, anything they need to get on their feet financially.”

“The Allstate Foundation matches our donations on a sliding scale,” Triplett explains. “It’s a good way to give to The Center and have your money matched.”

WHAT DOES THE CENTER DO? The Center for Women and Families is more than 100 years old. In 2015 it provided services to 7,000 people in nine counties in the Kentuckiana area.

The Center for Women and Families 24-hour toll-free Crisis Line 1.844.BE.SAFE.1 1.844.237.2331 24-hour regional locations:

Southern Indiana Campus 4919 Charlestown Rd, New Albany 812.944.6743

While men are also victims of domestic violence, statistics vary widely on the numbers. “We do sometimes see men, but what we deal with is predominantly women,” says Triplett. The Center is open 365 days a year, 24 hours a day, seven days a week. “We have our own call center,” says Triplett. “Between the calls, the counseling and the shelter, we provide a lot of services for someone involved in a sexual assault or domestic violence situation.” Services and programs include crisis intervention, emergency shelter, 24-hour tele-

phone and walk-in support, 24-hour on-site advocacy at all area hospitals, sexual assault forensic exams, legal advocacy for emergency orders of protection, advocacy and support, case management, counseling and therapy, economic success/empowerment classes, transitional housing, and children’s services. All of these services are free. “We don’t have a sliding scale,” says Triplett. “People can seek us out and they don’t have to pay a dime. They just have to know we’re here. A lot of people assume domestic violence is a lower economic group problem. That’s just not true.” The Center serves Bullitt, Henry, Jefferson, Oldham, Shelby, Spencer, and Trimble counties in Kentucky and Clark and Floyd in Southern Indiana.

PRICEWEBER DESIGNING NEW WEBSITE FOR NORTON CHILDREN’S HOSPITAL

Offered in only six locations in the U.S. for the remainder of 2016, the Search Inside Yourself Leadership Institute, developed and tested at Google, will partner with the Leadership Louisville Center to host a two-day workshop in Louisville on November 3-4, 2016. Louisville is one of its first public programs in a city of this size, with other workshops to be held in San Francisco, San Diego, Los Angeles, Denver and New York City.

PriceWeber, a full-service digital advertising agency headquartered in Louisville, has been chosen by Norton Healthcare to design the new pediatric website for Norton Children’s Hospital, the region’s only freestanding children’s hospital, formerly known as Kosair Children’s Hospital. The new mobile-first site will provide critical information that parents, children, family and friends need to get the best-quality healthcare for children.

The Search Inside Yourself (SIY) training is part of the Center’s Leadership Green Room, supported by presenting sponsor Fifth Third Bank, providing leadership development for individuals at all levels. Specific goals of SIY are to provide area leaders with professional and personal development focused on building healthy mental habits for sustained high performance and well-being. Based on neuroscience, the SIY program teaches tools needed to be a self-aware leader without the stress. Specifically, SIY will cover mindfulness, self-awareness, self-management, motivation, empathy and compassionate leadership. Learning outcomes include how to better function in a fast-paced environment, how to think under pressure and the best way to work in harmony with others. Backed by some of the world’s leading experts in neuroscience and mindfulness, Search Inside Yourself is changing thousands of lives in over a dozen countries. Following the two-day workshop, participants continue the learning with four weeks of post-program peer-to-peer practices to sustain learning and self-directed growth.

PriceWeber will be responsible for the design and the technical development for the site, which will launch December 1, 2016.

Lady-led, but CATERING TO ALL

ost people wouldn’t consider owning a catering business akin to leading a circus, but Deborah Lowery does. “Before I ever thought about catering, I wanted to a be a lion tamer,” she says. “But I’m kind of running a circus now.”

Business LENNIE OMALZA

Lowery, a New York native and mother of four, has owned and operated Ladyfingers Catering since 1989. One might say that cooking is in her blood; all four of her grandparents were in the food industry. And although her interests led her to study commercial art in college, the tasty world of culinary arts constantly beckoned. Between classes, Lowery held part-time restaurant jobs and helped friends host dinner parties. Soon enough, she says, she realized the money she could make in the restaurant business “far outweighed anything I’d make starting off in something related to my degree.”

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

However, Lowery’s big light bulb didn’t actually go off until several years later, when she began whipping up dinners for her husband to take to his night-shift factory job. She quickly gained a fan following, as the home-cooked fares were becoming the objects of envy during mealtimes. “Within a few weeks, I was making 50 dinners a night!” she exclaims.

It was then that Lowery knew what she wanted to be doing, so she and her husband opened a bakery/deli, offering the Italian fare she was raised with. But after a divorce and the closing of the store, she was faced with financing her new position as a single mother of two. Working in a restaurant wasn’t conducive to raising children, so she made the bold, life-changing move to start her own business. The name Ladyfingers honors her Italian heritage and is a nod to the fact that initially, the company was run completely by women: Lowery and her two female employees. Today, her team boasts more than 35 employees,

“Before I ever thought about catering, I wanted to be a lion tamer. But I’m kind of running a circus now.” - Deborah Lowrey, founder of Ladyfingers Catering

including chefs from around the world. Ladyfingers specializes in authentic, international menus with a Southern charm, of course. Staying true to its Louisville roots, the company has played a role in several well-known community events, including the Kentucky Bourbon Festival for the last 18 years and the Bourbon Classic since its inception. Lowery also handles catering for smaller affairs, such as company Christmas parties. PHOTO BY BILL WINE

She recalls one in particular: Her staff was making the food delivery, waiting for an elevator in the lobby of the building where the soiree was located. “When the elevator opened,” she says, “there was Santa – dead on the floor.” There was blood everywhere and her team was, needless to say, in a panic. Thankfully, the party planner arrived almost immediately after the horrific display, explaining that it was a surprise murder-mystery party – the guests, like the caterers, were in for an unforgettable macabre treat. Lowery has also served celebrities, but she declines to reveal what could very well be tabloid-worthy tales. “Some of the things that came out of their mouths were X-rated,” she laughs. Though a large part of Ladyfingers’ business comes from big names and corporate clients, it truly is a full-service catering company for all. Lowery is proud to offer everything from catering and bar options to coordination and rentals. “Pretty much anything that has to do with an event, we can assist you with,” she says. Whether clients need an ice sculpture, photo booth, chocolate fountain or wedding cake, Ladyfingers will make it happen. There’s also Gourmet to Go, a service for customers to order party platters ahead of time and pick them up on the day of their event. By the 2017 holiday season, Lowery plans to expand this part of her business so patrons can walk in and purchase Gourmet to Go options at any time without having to place an order. Also in the near future for Ladyfingers – recipient of Greater Louisville Inc.’s 2016 Small Business of the Year Award – are changes to its home on Old Henry Road. Lowery says that after being in the building for about eight years, the company has outgrown it. An addition will make more room for Gourmet to Go’s expansion as well as upgraded menu selections and interactive stations. Though big changes are in store, the best part about running Ladyfingers has, and likely will always be, the same. “After all the hard work and the job is done,” Lowery says, “it’s getting a note about how we made someone’s day so much more special. It makes us all feel good.” VT For more information, visit ladyfingersinc.com or call 502.245.7734.

Maryland's decision to bolt for the Big 10 (which will never cease to be odd) opened up a place for Louisville in the ACC. It was a dream landing spot for a program which had never viewed the destination as a realistic possibility.

Three years later, it's safe to say that the realization has lived up to the dream. UofL has retained its lofty status in sports like basketball and soccer, and now finds itself on an elevated and brighter stage when it comes to football, baseball, and its Olympic sports. Life in the ACC will never be perfect, because life anywhere is never perfect. There will always be too many noon kickoffs, overly difficult basketball schedules, and officials at Clemson who refuse to call pass interference on the home team (or so I've heard). When stuff like that starts to make you upset, remember the alternative. This certainly beats living and dying with hollow reports from anonymous sources and reading too much into internet images that may or may not have been photoshopped. Cheers to never having to live that life again. VT

Every Wildcat year is a new year because of the annual churning of the basketball roster. The special John Calipari sauce is that many of the nation’s most highly rated high-schoolers always comprise the core of his teams. They usually succeed, which makes them NBA bait, which means each following year’s team depends on yet another group of high-schoolers. And not just “good” freshmen. They’re transformative stars in the making. So why not a frenzy of excitement? Cal did a smart thing at the Madness event, connecting these freshmen with UK basketball history. They may not have been familiar with Dale Barnstable, Johnny Cox or even Kenny

the team leader who can keep his talented backcourt mates disciplined and focused? And can he hit his free throws?

Last year, UK had a dynamic three-headed backcourt of Briscoe, Jamal Murray and Tyler Ulis. But, great as they were, their impact was dulled without a physical frontcourt. So how different will it be with the imposing Bam Adebayo, the bulked-up Isaac Humphries, the lanky frosh Sacha Killeya-Jones and Wenyen Gabriel and the New Zealand son of woodchoppers, Tai Wynyard? It’s often easy to forget, as well, that Derek Willis may be a stretch four, but he’s also 6-foot-9. So spitting out the bad taste of an early exit to the 2016 NCAA tournament began, as it usually does, with Big Blue Madness.

COACHES TALK A couple of recent things: • Cal stepped, once again, into the question of whether he’d rather win a title or get his guys into the NBA. And everyone rose to take the bait. It’s kind of ridiculous. Look, Cal talks, and sometimes his convoluted monologues have him contradicting himself twice in the same statement. If you tried to diagram any of his sentences, you’d end up breaking several pencils. But to suggest that he isn’t driven competitively seems like nonsense. To be successful in sports starts with being fiercely competitive. I think his winning percentage, Final Four appearances and ex-players in the NBA might be more lightly regarded if he didn’t have that one national title. All coaches, from Adolph Rupp and Branch McCracken to Bobby Knight and John Wooden to Dean Smith and Mike Krzyzewski to Cal and Rick Pitino, are evaluated by their championship banners, not by their ex-players in the pros. • Mark Stoops seemed to have lashed out last week at Kentucky fans who criticize the team or leave games early. He said, instead, to blame the coaches, not criticize the players. I think he misses the fact that UK fans do blame the coaches. Rooting for your school’s sports teams is a 125-year-old tradition. Expecting, even demanding, success is a natural outgrowth of that passion. Sports is a win/lose proposition. We’ve long ago abandoned the appreciation of elegance, grace and sportsmanship. That’s too bad. But it’s the reason Stoops is paid a lot of money to provide a winning team. Big Blue Nation seriously hopes he’ll get there. Fans may get frustrated, but I don’t think most people blame the players for not being better than they try to be. Fans appreciate the effort. The onus, always, is on the coaches. And that begins again on Saturday evening, against Mississippi State. Beyond all expectations of a few weeks ago, Kentucky is suddenly in the hunt, in second place in the SEC East. This game will tell us a lot – about the team, about the season and about the coaches. VT

They bring two different things to the table. Has David Levitch exceeded your expectations for him? I’ve always been very, very lucky with walk-ons. From Kyle Kuric, who originally came in here as a walk-on, to Tim Henderson. Going back to Kentucky, Anthony Epps. We have guys that have determined whether or not we were going to go to a Final Four or not. They develop into scholarship players and Levitch is one of those type basketball players.

Redhawks Soaring to New Heights

don’t know if Hollywood could have scripted a better turn of events for Seneca girls’ soccer this season. This program’s history book has remained the same for over a decade: a constant fluctuation in head coaches and an average of five wins per season.

ing three shut-out victories and averaging around seven goals per game – Ball says it all started with the fundamentals.

High School Sports Report

RANDY WHETSTONE JR.

Well, some stories get old after a while, and once the 2016 chapter to Seneca soccer unfolded, it grabbed people’s attention. This season, the girls and the coaches rewrote this program’s history book, while riding a wave of success they plan to stay on for years to come.

“My first goal was to get to the basics. Learning how to pass, shoot and dribble. Once we did drills and learned how to do those three things, we became more efficient.”

With this change in philosophy, it brought about a change in disposition for a batch of girls who had been immersed into a culture of mediocrity.

It all started with a first-year soccer coach who fell in love with the game at the age of eight. He played his high school career at Trinity and Ballard and then went on to play soccer at the University of Louisville. Upon noticing the vacancy at the head coaching position at Seneca, coach Steve Ball saw it as a great opportunity: “It seemed like it would be a good challenge for me.”

Perhaps Ball could have won the award for best director, considering he had a cast representing at least four different countries. It was fascinating to see someone as a head coach for the first time lead such a diverse team with members from Saudi Arabia, Mexico, countries in Africa and America, to name a few. It’s difficult enough to coach a team full of Americans, let alone coaching a team that embodies various cultures and ideologies. In keeping an open perspective though, Ball was able to let the soccer ball be the catalyst to unity and newfound success. The girls rallied together as one in each contest, understanding that being unified works to achieve team goals.

It was certainly a challenge to say the least. “The biggest thing I learned is that there are 22 different teenage personalities,” Ball says. “You have to understand certain girls take certain things different ways. Certain ways to phrase things and certain ways not to phrase things, and [knowing] you have to be peacemakers sometimes. You have to ignore some of the drama, but that’s very difficult. It’s things that distract them from soccer: the boyfriends, the homework or the million things that go through a teenager’s mind from 7:40 a.m. to 2:20 p.m.” But aside from the interpersonal challenges with relationships and communication, Ball stepped into an environment where winning wasn’t expected. But for the Redhawks to take a turn for the better – capping off their 2016 season with an 11-4 record, includ-

“They really didn’t have the confidence of winning because they haven’t had a tradition of winning,” Ball adds. “Once we did start winning and seeing that the system works and learning the fundamentals, then they had to learn also how to deal with success. It is not easy to lose, and sometimes your head gets big when you win and you think you’re actually better than you really are and that you don’t need to do the things that got you where you are. So part of my coaching was getting the best out of players and teaching them that they’re only as good as their next practice or game.”

As a result, the girls’ soccer program transformed, and the Redhawks are flapping their wings as never before as they ascend to new heights as a program and as a people. This remarkable season has been truly unparalleled, and coach Ball envisions the program staying in the right direction.

“We are going to continue to do what we have been doing, and that is the basics. We have 11 [seniors] going, so we have to get a group of freshman who understand how the system works: the basics like learning how to dribble, how to pass, how to shoot, and then doing it over and over. With repetition, you get better and better. We plan to show up every day, work hard and just continue what we have been doing.” VT PHOTO COURTESY OF SENECA SOCCER

SPOTLIGHT

Where Louisville Meets the World

On November 5, the Americana Community Center will hold its annual dinner, “Where Louisville Meets the World.” To get more information on the important work Americana is doing and how this event will support it, we caught up with Americana Community Center Director of Development Clare Rutz. What is “Where Louisville Meets the World”? The Americana invite the community of Louisville to our Fourth Annual Dinner, “Where Louisville Meets the World,” on Saturday, November 5. This event is especially momentous this year as we are unveiling Americana’s new look. For more than 20 years, Americana has been bridging the gap from surviving to thriving for Louisville’s refugee, immigrant and underserved populations through education, family support, youth achievement and career and financial development. Each year, we serve more than 5,000 people from over 100 countries in their pursuits of better days and brighter futures. We give them roots. So they can begin to thrive. Americana has served tens of thousands of people over the past two decades and we want to tell their story and Americana’s story. We want to let the community know about the work we are doing. Thanks to Doe-Anderson Advertising, who has generously donated their time and resources to help with this rebranding, we are now able to share our new look with the community. What can guests expect at the event? The event will be held at Spalding University Ballroom at 824 S. Fourth St. and begins at 6 p.m. with networking and the silent auction. At 7 p.m., dinner will be served and the program will begin. We are honoring two admirable local leaders, Dr. Babar Muhammad and Djenita Pasic, with the Americana Dreamer Award to say thank you for their work in our community. There will also be powerful stories and poems shared by Americana participants. The talented Dawne Gee will be our emcee, and there will be musical performances throughout the evening.

More importantly, the event should uplift and inspire. The event will be a celebration of our diverse community and the support they receive by so many. We are proud of Americana’s participants and the people who support Americana – those who make the spectrum of services possible by donating, our hundreds of volunteers that we rely on for tutoring, and our community partners that give, volunteer and strengthen the programming. There is a lot to celebrate. Why is the event important for the Americana Community Center and the greater community? Foreign-born residents make up more than half of Louisville’s population growth in the last decade, and more than 4,000 refugees were welcomed to Louisville in the past two years. In response to this growing need to provide resources to the refugee, immigrant and underserved population, Americana is working to create a sustainable fiscal infrastructure, stronger community partnerships and a more recognizable voice in Louisville. We are working as best we can to reach these goals so we can ensure the organic growth of our programs and to make sure that every person looking to better the lives of their family is able to do so. In Somalia, Suada had to wait for years in a place where she lived in fear. As she waited, her uncle was saving pennies, she said, and finally had enough to buy her a place on top of the luggage in a plane that would take her to Kenya’s refugee camp. After more waiting, she came to the U.S. and found her challenges to continue in Texas. The resettlement process was lacking there, her English was nonexistent and the bus routes were impossible, she said. Buying groceries was even a fearful business. Her education was interrupted due to all of these events and she was asked to leave high school

because she was too old at 20. She made her way to Louisville, where, she was told, it was more hospitable. By this time, she had a husband and three children and her English had greatly improved, but still she could not find employment. We are proud to say that since she has been a part of the Family Education program and started working with a family coach, she has found a job at UPS and is studying to take her GED test. As soon as she reaches that goal, she has a job waiting for her at a preschool. She says her life feels like it’s finally beginning. There are more than 60 families who are waiting to be a part of this Family Education program. At least 60 more Suadas who are desperate and ready for the direct support to better themselves and their families, to improve their resume, learn how to find and apply for jobs online, to learn basic computer skills and the list goes on. We have a waiting list for all of our programs, including our After School Program. Our programs provide the tools and resources to thousands of international residents so that they may thrive rather than merely survive in Louisville. Thousands of people thriving looks like houses being bought, local shops opening, high school seniors going on to higher education and families no longer being dependent on government assistance. Reducing our mortgage payment will allow those funds to be available to the expansion of the programs and could expand our staff, add a computer literacy class and allow us to work on lowering the number of people on the wait list who are simply asking for the tools to thrive. As our only major fundraising event, the annual dinner is crucial to the success of our programs. Americana is a local, independent nonprofit that does not receive any funding from an umbrella organization or the federal or state government. We simply rely on the support of the local community to continue this work, and the annual dinner, “Where Louisville Meets the World,” is a big piece of that support. Is it too late to get tickets? Definitely not! You can buy tickets right up until the event by going to our website (americanacc. org) or calling 502.366.7813. If you have any questions about the event or how to get more involved in the work we do, please contact Clare Rutz at clare@americanacc.org. VT

BREAST CANCER SPOTLIGHT Horses and Hope

By Tamara Ikenberg, Contributing Writer

ith a winning combination of Kentucky fun and cancer screening and support, the nonprofit Horses and Hope has strengthened and made a deep difference in many survivors’ lives. In 2011, breast cancer survivor Georgianna Dotson was new to Louisville and didn’t have a soul to talk to about her continuing battle. Then, she attended a Horses and Hope retreat and emerged with a new best friend, amazing new memories and a solid support network. Dotson says it changed her life. “I have met all these amazing women and attended all these functions that have made me stronger,” she relates. Now, the nonprofit, founded in 2008 by then First Lady of Kentucky Jane Beshear and Director of The Kentucky Cancer Program Connie Sorrell, is poised to fortify many more survivors. “Cancer didn’t end when the Beshear administration did, and I am thrilled that this program is continuing on,” says Jane Beshear. “It’s a way to create awareness and a way to celebrate people that go through the process.” Horses and Hope originally provided breast cancer support and screening exclusively for equine industry workers.

Currently, the program covers the general public and provides screening for seven types of cancers via a very important vehicle added in 2015. The pink and white Horses and Hope Cancer Screening Van rolls through Kentucky and parks at special events and in the lots of sponsors, which include Kroger and Ford.

It includes a lunch and lessons in placing wagers. “It’s a social event and a great way to introduce people to the races and celebrate survivorship of so many women and men,” Beshear describes. “Survivors will have pictures taken with the winning horse.”

The van is equipped to screen for breast, throat, cervical, prostate, head and neck, skin and colon cancer, and also provides a wealth of educational materials about cancer.

The program works in conjunction with Kentucky One Health, Gilda’s Club and more cancer support groups and serves as a gateway to a world of resources in the region eager to provide community and support for patients and survivors.

Horses and Hope’s main goal is to give free services to folks without insurance or resources, but men and women from all walks of life are welcome to receive screenings at the van through their own insurance.

“When you get involved, all of a sudden, you learn about all these other things that help you get their strength back,” Dotson explains. “It’s amazing the network you end up finding. It’s cool how it all works together.”

If a participant is diagnosed with cancer, he or she is given tools and information to get further treatment.

Kentucky Cancer Program Director Connie Sorrell is pleased that the program is still running at full speed.

“We’re taking health to the people instead of waiting for people to come to the health providers,” Beshear says. People should “take advantage of it, because it could mean the difference between life and death.”

“I thought when [Jane] left office it might wind down, but it hasn’t. Her legacy project was to raise money for the cancer screening van,” Sorrell maintains. “I can’t believe how successful it’s been and how generous people have been. It’s going to be alive well into the future.”

Signature Bluegrass State experiences are the other side of the Horses and Hope equation. Participants take trail rides and indulge in race days at Keeneland and Churchill Downs. The next big soiree is The Horses and Hope Race Day on November 20 at Churchill Downs.

The program and van are also funded by University of Louisville, The Pink Stable, Kentucky equine industry workers and private donors. VT For more about Horses and Hope, visit kycancerprogram.org/ horses-and-hope-1/horses-and-hope or call Kentucky Cancer Program at 1.877.326.1134.

particularly worthy of the prize: “One of the things we were personally excited about was all of the ways artists and culture are being engaged as a strategy to improve health. Tying in with the innovation of using artists to engage health is also that overlap with youth violence prevention.” Miller gave the example of the Roots & Wings organization and the work they are doing for the city. Roots & Wings is a theatre project that uses art and performance as catalysts for restoration of self and community in West Louisville neighborhoods. To continue the conversation, the Culture of Health partners will host a free public event, “Louisville’s Culture of Health: Putting Good Health Within Everyone’s Reach,” at the Muhammad Ali Center on November 7. The two-part event will begin with a learning-and-sharing section hosted by Renee Shaw of KET. Delegates who will be going to the Culture of Health event in Princeton in late October will share what they learned. There will also be feedback from Joe Marx, senior advisor and senior communications officer of the Robert Wood

porate into the site visit, but it’s about all the work that’s happening,” said Miller. “We’re really trying to figure out the best ways to increase ownership of this being an exciting time and looking at how we can come together even more to leverage this opportunity in the future.” People interested in the “Louisville’s Culture of Health” event, which runs from 2 - 7 p.m.

Afterward, Mayor Greg Fischer will kick off the celebratory portion of the evening. This will include artistic performances and continued dialogue around how we come together across sectors to further build a thriving culture of health in Louisville. “It’s hard to be a prophet in your own land sometimes,” says Miller. “Learning from Joe Marx about his experience with being in the site visit in Louisville—what that means to the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation and how Louisville contrasts with the other members of the alumni network—I think all of that is really valuable information.” What that initial site visit proved to the participants was that there’s a lot of good groundwork being laid and a lot of positive things happening in terms of cross sector partnerships and collective impacts in Louisville. On the other hand, one area they realized could use improvement was the diversity of corporate leadership. “It’s not just about the four organizations that helped to push us through the application process or the 75-100 organizations we were able to incor-

Millinery, in the heart of hat country. Originally from Colorado, Pfanenstiel earned her degree in costume design at the Art Institute in Denver and then moved to Chicago for more opportunities. There, she designed costumes for Cirque du Soleil, movies and commercials before meeting a milliner from New York who encouraged her to learn the art of blocking – the molding of the material over wooden hat blocks. A lifelong lover of hats, she took several workshops around the globe on the hundred-year-old technique and decided this would be her life’s work. Jenny Pfanenstiel.

“I completely fell in love with this town and the people,” she recalls. “And more than anything, I was amazed at how this town supports small businesses.” She opened Formé Millinery at the Mellwood Arts & Entertainment Center and is currently working on major collaborations, including creating 500 custom looks for Derby 2017 with Vineyard Vines and digital hats for Rachel Zoe’s fashion app, Covet Fashion. With only about 10 professional milliners in the United States who make hats from scratch, it’s no wonder the likes of Oprah, Madonna and First Lady Michelle Obama own a Formé Millinery hat. “I don’t purchase hats and then glue things onto them.

And then it’s all hand-sewn or sewn on the machine.” Since becoming a milliner, Pfanenstiel has won many awards, including the International Hattie Award two times over, and the Judge’s Choice Award from the Kentucky Derby Museum. She also teaches workshops where she provides the millinery material (imported from England and Australia), and over the course of two days, her students create their own hat. Though Derby is one of her peak seasons, many customers come to Formé for a more practical reason: to keep their heads warm during fall and winter. While Derby hats are colorful, light and usually made of delicate straw, fall and winter hats are usually made of the wool felt, velour or beaver (to name a few materials) of demurer colors, but no less stylish. Cloche – “bell” in French – hats were a popular style of hat in the 1920s and continue to be en vogue today, especially since waterproof wool allows you to get sculptural with the design. As Pfanenstiel puts it, “There’s no reason you can’t be warm and fashionable,” especially with the Breeders’ Cup coming up in November. Pfanenstiel feels she is an old soul and is drawn to bygone eras like the ’20s, ’30s and ’40s when life was simpler, which is apparent by the collection of beautiful vintage furniture in her shop such as her Art Deco wardrobes and mirrors. She feels these old pieces, especially the hundred-year-old wooden hat blocks, hold a special energy since they have been used by others in the past, and that the wear from use adds character. She finds inspiration for hat designs in old towns and architecture, cobblestone roads and even moss on rocks. Her eye for beauty appears in every piece she makes.

While it may be difficult to distinguish between the seasons during a week like this one, we tried to get ahead of the impending chill by securing some of the coziest hats we could find. Poms are a must this season, and with the options at Liv Boutique, you can attach or detach for versatility. Or, abandon what may be of-the-moment and cling to a style that never fades, like the velour cloche from Formé Millinery that was hand-blocked with a 1920s vintage button.

Total Wine invests heavily in its employees. Before they hit the sales floor, they’re put through 150 hours of training. Periodically, the company takes some of its employees on trips to renowned wineries in the U.S. and in Europe.

They usually cost $10-20 and run about an hour and a half long. Sometimes the store staff teach the classes. Sometimes they hold “virtual tastings,” where the owner of a famed winery, for example, will show customers around his or her vineyard via a video conferencing arrangement that’s set up in stores across the country.

The “New Filson” is celebrating the completion of its Old Louisville campus expansion by introducing the all-new Owsley Brown II History Center as well as the renovation of its headquarters, the 1905 Ferguson Mansion. An enclosed elevated pedway atop the Carriage House connects the mansion on Third Street with the History Center on Fourth.

Overall, there are five floors of archival storage and two floors of multi-purpose event and exhibit space. The new building received unanimous approval from the Old Louisville Architectural Review Committee because it pays homage to the distinctive character of the neighborhood. The renovation of the Ferguson Mansion – one of Kentucky’s finest examples of the Beaux-Arts architectural style – includes a new library as well as exhibit galleries and a technologically advanced research facility. Between the two buildings, a landscaped “pocket park” includes a pedestrian mall, and the Carriage House serves as the new main entrance to the campus. Buthod says the $12.4 million expansion is being funded “entirely by donor generosity,” including some foundation funding, but most of the money has been donated by individuals. “It’s a great deal of money to raise without the help of government grants,” Buthod notes. He also points out that the expansion is the largest construction project in Old Louisville in more than a generation and will be a catalyst for additional redevelopment and revitalization in the historic, diverse neighborhood. “The additional space, new technology and open footprint will allow us to share so much more of what the Filson has to offer,” Buthod says. “It is

important that we tell the stories of all of the people and events that have helped shape our city, state and region, including those that embody our culture and reflect our day-to-day life.” The society will officially usher in the New Filson era on October 27 with a news conference and first look at the new and renovated facilities for neighborhood organizations, industry professionals and media. An open house for the public will begin at 1 p.m. on October 29. It will include special exhibits, music and docent-led tours and interpretations, as well as children’s activities and details on continuing programs. A special concert featuring a newly acquired collection of Tom T. Hall music and instruments will start at 7 p.m., and it will kick off six weeks of special programming and events.

ballet is my base, I’m trying to make a new product.” Whelan says that she comes to Louisville a couple times a year and sees Kentucky as an important part of her development. “I look at it as really a time that shaped me heavily,” she maintains. “A lot of friendships I had, I still have. And a lot of them really, honestly, shaped who I’ve become as an adult, as an artist: the teachers, classmates, experiences I’ve had. My roots [in Louisville] are very strong, and they feed the tree that I am now and in every way that I flower.” Kentucky to the World’s mission is to enhance the state’s image by showcasing talent, ingenuity and excellence of those who claim strong Kentucky ties. “We want to be a catalyst for igniting change and inspiring all Kentuckians,” Zegart emphasizes. The organization hosts multimedia programs that range from a live-audience speaker series to the website’s written profiles, video interviews and social media news.

She looks forward to the interview: “I’m a historian but have a lot of journalism in my background. I love talking to people and bringing people out.” Whelan, now retired from the ballet, produces her own dance projects with other dancers and choreographers and teaches at Barnard College. She is an artistic associate at the New York City Center, where she participates in talks or educational projects. “Whatever they want to incorporate me into,” she describes. “I’m really trying to do different things, face my fears, challenge myself. I’m like a baby learning to walk again at this place in my life.” In a way, she has had to relearn to walk. She’s had two hip surgeries and has fully recovered. “My hip is fantastic,” she smiles. “I’m very, very happy about where I am now.” Whelan is the star of Linda Saffire and Adam Schlessinger’s documentary film, “Restless Creature,” about her life. It came out this year and debuted at the New York Film Festival but hasn’t made it to Louisville yet. The documentary follows her transition from the dance company to civilian life. “I’m working on four projects that are my own,” she explains. “I try to just do something different, not focused on ballet.

I had some awesome conversations, and I saw some wonderful films. But Dakota best summed up the air of the festival: It was a bunch of people who love movies, hanging out in beautiful downtown Louisville, watching movies together. I wasn’t able to catch all the films – heck, I only caught six, wedged in between other events on a beautiful October weekend – but what I saw impressed me. Here’s a quick recap. “YOU SEE ME” This was a tough movie to watch. Aching and filled with regret, “You See Me” documents one woman’s attempts to get to know her father better after he has passed away. Linda Brown’s use of interviews, home video footage and film shot as her father convalesced creates a powerful narrative that will hit especially hard with anyone who has lost a parent or is struggling with a loved one with a debilitating illness. “TO OH SEVEN” This short narrative follows a sweet old guy as he journeys across town carrying flowers, presumably for someone he loves. Director David Hall manages to convey a lot of hope and excitement, which becomes bittersweet as we realize that the old guy is taking the flowers to the park in memoriam of someone long gone. “FROZEN CHOSEN” People think of documentary films as being “true” because they are a based in fact. But the truth is a filmmaker can force all kinds of thoughts and judgments onto an audience through what they present. I was a little timid heading into “The Frozen Chosen,” a film about an evangelical couple trying to start a church in a heavily secular

ing ideas of masculinity and show how much of that evolution is driven by the men we see on the silver screen. “SUICIDE LETTER”

This short feature follows a man preparing to hang himself, engrossed in writing the perfect suicide letter, until a runaway dog derails his plans. The film’s uplifting message is carried by the solid filmmaking and a strong score.

The movie doesn’t always carry the initial hilarity of that first perfect scene, but it remains enjoyable throughout. It’s anchored by great performances from Burke (who I IMDb’d almost immediately to see what else he’s done) and Robledo (whose IMDb tells me is in MTV’s “Teen Wolf ”). I liked Robledo so much that I’m considering watching it. But what really makes this film work is an interpersonal dynamic that hasn’t already been strip-mined to death by the Hollywood. Society still throws mad shade at men who aren’t the primary breadwinners, and there is a lot of story potential in couples trying to navigate those waters, as well as a lot of comedy. Another great pleasure of a film festival is getting to meet some creators. After the credits rolled on “Dependents Day,” I realized writer/director Michael David Lynch had been sitting behind me the whole time. When I pitched him hard on shooting his next film in Louisville – seriously, Michael, the tax incentives are great! – he asked if I was in the business. I said, “No, just a fan of good movies.” VT

T H U R S DAY, O C TO B E R 2 7 “ASSASSINS” PRESENTED BY CENTERSTAGE What do John Wilkes Booth, Lee Harvey Oswald and John Hinckley have in common? They are not only three of the nine men and women who throughout history have killed – or attempted to kill –a United States president but also the unlikely subjects Stephen Sondheim brings together in his Tony Award-winning musical, “Assassins.” Combining a musical

revue and a murderous carnival game with a careful exploration of patriotism, Sondheim creates the perfect political satire. With wit, comedy and brilliant insight, “Assassins” delves into what motivated these complicated, notorious men and women and ultimately asks you what it means to be an American. The show runs through November 13 at the Jewish Community Center. Tickets are $20.

DEAR ABBY

Woman’s Disappearing Act Ends Four-Year Relationship

EAR ABBY: I was “ghosted” by a woman I had been in a long-distance relationship with. It lasted four years until one day she just never responded again.

Dear Abby JEANNE PHILLIPS

We are both parents, both 30, so it’s hard for me to understand how someone could do this to a person you’ve had a history with and claim to love. It seems like a child’s reaction. I’m finding it hard to move past this because I have no idea what happened. I feel blindsided. Could she have been hurt or died? I have no one to contact and no way to know. My question is, how does one go about moving past this since it wasn’t a typical breakup? I would really appreciate your thoughts. – CAN’T GO FORWARD DEAR CAN’T GO: What the person did was cowardly, but I’m sorry to say it isn’t that unusual these days. What IS unusual is that during the four years you were in a relationship, you never met any of her friends or family and have no idea how to contact her. Are you absolutely sure she is who she claimed to be and not a catfisher?

I agree that for someone to do what she did was childish. It was also brutal, and you may need counseling to help you get over it and learn to trust again. ••• DEAR ABBY: My question may seem odd, but your advice would be appreciated. I have family who live in another city and have a medium-sized active dog. I have invited them to visit me in my newly built home, which has soft pine floors throughout. I mentioned to them that I would like to supply dog booties when they visit so their dog’s claws – and the grit that gets caught up between its toes – would not scratch my brand-new floors. We are a family who has always removed our shoes when we enter a home. I have tried inviting them numerous times over the past two years, but they always have an excuse why they can’t visit. Another family member told me that a comment was made that, “If we have to put booties on our dog and they want a showcase home, then it will be empty of us.” Am I being silly and too particular with my request and thereby causO C T O B E R 2 0 , 2 0 1 6 • V O I C E -T R I B U N E .

ing ill feelings within the family? – DOG BOOTIES IN CANADA

you need to be concerned. If not – as I said before, you have to talk with him about it.

DEAR DOG BOOTIES: Your request is neither picky nor “silly.” After paying top dollar for a new floor, I know I certainly wouldn’t want somebody’s pet scratching it up. A considerate guest would either comply or leave the dog at home. If they prefer not to accept your invitation, LET THEM.

•••

••• DEAR ABBY: I love to cook for my family. My granddaughter has now become a vegan. It has taken away my enjoyment for the fun meals we used to have. I can no longer cook for her, and it has changed the family dynamics. How can I cope with this without being angry? – SAD DOWN SOUTH DEAR SAD: Allow me to offer two suggestions. Either have your granddaughter bring food with her that she can eat, or widen your repertoire by learning to prepare one vegan dish the entire family can enjoy along with her. ••• DEAR ABBY: My fiancé and I have a loving relationship. He is affectionate – hugging, kissing, etc. But he doesn’t have a high libido, which I am concerned about because he’s only 26. He has confessed to me he’s had relations with men in the past, and I’m thinking he may be bisexual. While that does not concern me whatsoever (after all, it’s one thing to be attracted to someone and another thing entirely to cheat), I worry that he thinks he couldn’t share this with me, and that it may lead to lies. I am also worried that if I confront him with this, he may be offended or think I think less of him. What should I do? – LOVING RELATIONSHIP IN MICHIGAN DEAR LOVING: You and your fiancé are overdue for a frank talk. He has told you that he has had more than one same-sex relationship, so it’s fair to consider him to be bisexual. That he didn’t use that word doesn’t mean he was dishonest. We communicate with our actions as well as verbally. That you have continued your relationship after learning about his sexual history should indicate to him that you don’t think less of him. As to the strength of his libido, no two individuals are alike. If he is able to provide you with what you need, I don’t think

DEAR ABBY: How do you get a man to help you financially? – ANONY-MISS IN BEVERLY HILLS DEAR ANONY-MISS: Tell him you need his help and hope he’s the type who likes rescuing women. ••• DEAR ABBY: I am a happily divorced mother of two and have a wonderful life. I have a great relationship with my ex. He’s a wonderful father, and I’m grateful for that. We never fight and I always try to keep the peace. He is remarried to a lovely woman and has another child with her, an adorable little boy. I consider him to be my children’s brother and make sure to buy him birthday and holiday gifts. I ask my children which milestones he has conquered and Facetime with him too. I’m writing because my grandmother, whom I love dearly, thinks I am not being nice and that I should go inside when I pick up my children and visit with the baby. She constantly asks me what my ex and his wife are doing. I always tell her I have no idea, and that it’s not my business. I respect and want boundaries. I want to raise our children together and see them at our children’s events, birthdays, etc. How can I get my grandma to understand that I’m in a good place and glad that my ex is too? I’m not interested in knowing where he is every second. Grandma is a very tough, strong, wonderful lady who loves your column. – MOVED ON IN THE SOUTH DEAR MOVED ON: You seem like a healthy, well-adjusted woman. Point out to your grandmother that the good relationship you enjoy with your ex and his wife is based on the fact that you don’t ask questions or meddle in their lives. Suggest that if Grandma wants to know how they are and what they’re doing that she pick up a phone and ask them herself. That way, the person they will avoid will be her and not you. Repeat that message as needed. ••• 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.

PUZZLES

pets of the week Blue is a 3-year-old pit bull terrier mix who came to the Kentucky Humane Society in May when his former owners could no longer care for him. Despite his large size, Blue is a gentle boy who loves children. He has never been around cats and would love to meet any dogs in the home to make sure they can be friends. According to his former owners, Blue is house-trained, crate-trained, knows many of his basic commands and has never met a stranger. Do you have the time and love for a handsome boy like Blue? If so, come meet him today! Blue is neutered, micro-chipped and up to date on all vaccinations. He’s waiting for you at our Main Campus, 241 Steedly Drive in Louisville. Largo is a 1-year-old tortoiseshell kitty who was rescued from cruelty and neglect by Animal Rescue Corps during their “Operation Dog Days of Summer” in early August. When she was found, Largo was riddled with intestinal parasites and was very underweight. Since being rescued, she has received medical treatment and is gaining weight. What she really wants is a loving home of her own – something she has never had before. Can you help Largo forget about her sad past and teach her that people can be kind and good? Largo is spayed, micro-chipped and up to date on vaccinations. Meet her at our Main Campus, 241 Steedly Drive in Louisville.
