I felt a bit like Vince Vaughn or Owen Wilson in “Wedding Crashers” this week. I got to be the uninvited guest who peeked into the most joyous, intimate and celebratory moments of the four phenomenal weddings featured in this week’s issue. I even shed a few actual tears while looking at some of the genuine moments caught on camera that could not possibly have been more perfect had they been staged. Those characters had the right idea – there really is nothing more fun than cutting a rug on the dance floor of a wedding and enjoying the perfectly-planned details that reflect the couple’s personalities and tastes. The four newlyweds featured all have unique, interesting and touching stories to share. We take you on a weekend in New England with the Reeces full of love and lobster tail where their beloved pets made the journey to stand by their side. If you are an avid reader of The Voice-Tribune, chances are you are familiar with the dashing and charming Mark Eliason and Jeff Howard, who exchanged their long-awaited vows in the elegant gardens of Running Water Farm. The picturesque Purcell-Stewart wedding was the epitome of Bluegrass grace held at Oxmoor Farm before erupting into the most fantastic dance party, complete with a late-night Taco Bell delivery. The New Year’s Day nuptials of Ashley Miller and Derek Anderson had all the glamour of a red carpet affair with a reception that was a slam Tonya Abeln dunk homage to their love of basketball. There is a scene in “Wedding Crashers” where the characters predict what the reading will be and cash in on the sure bet that is 1 Corinthians 13. It’s one that we hear so often that I’m guilty of not actually hearing it at all. I revisited the scripture this week as I thought about all things wedding. Most of us know it by heart…patient and kind (always working on it)…not irritable, keeps no record of wrongs (need to probably recommit to that one)…noisy gong, clanging cymbal (sounds about right most of the time). But the last bit really reached me this time and offered me some much-need clarity. Perhaps all the beautiful photos have me feeling a bit mushy inside, or maybe the current social climate has encouraged me to inscribe this one on my heart more permanently: “These things remain – faith, hope and love – and the greatest of these…” I think you know the rest. I hope these stories make you believe in love.

eremiah Reece is matter-of-fact: “Almost four of 10 years living in separate cities ... is not easy. We persevered.” They did indeed, and now have a love story to share that will make your heart swell and your eyes tear up with every sweet detail. A romance nearly a decade in the making served up a fantastic destination wedding on a weekend made for relaxing with family and friends. Jeremiah and Kim’s New England nuptials would have made Martha Stewart proud.

The couple met while in college at Georgetown University in 2005. They were introduced by a mutual friend who knew Jeremiah from high school. It was an instant fit, but, “We were still very young,” says Kim, “We had lots of life’s navigational challenges ahead.” They met those challenges together, while not always together physically. They lived in Chicago while Jeremiah attended law school at DePaul University, but Kimberly knew she wanted to open her business in Louisville. Absence made their hearts grow fonder. Jeremiah proposed on September 4, 2015, in New York City across from Central Park. He had a planned to rent a boat in the park, but they arrived much later than anticipated and were late for dinner reservations to celebrate the occasion: “We were across from the park and I just dropped to one knee to dig the ring out of my back-pack as this group of teenage girls started giggling and watching us.” He proposed with her grandmother’s ring. The two would select something together at a later date. They dined at Asiate at the top of The Mandarin Oriental Hotel in prime seating that allowed the couple to take in the sunset and watch the city transition into night. This was the first day of a nine-day road trip that would end in Portland, Maine, a scenic coastal town that would provide memories made for a lifetime just one year later. The couple were wed in front of 65 of their closest friends, family and, of course, their dogs, Otto and Ruby, who were in the wedding party on Great Diamond Island, just a short ferry ride from downtown Portland. They included their immediate family in some of the occasions’ most special details. “Two days before the wedding, we all went to a flower farm in Buxton and hand-picked the flowers for the ceremony. It

was a fun way to include the family,” Kim remembers fondly. Their beloved dogs were properly adorned in beautiful floral wreaths. Jeremiah explains, “We couldn’t imagine ever doing this without the dogs. They’ve been there through so much of our life together. Otto was a good companion to me during our times apart.” The dogs walked down the aisle and Ruby barked her consent during Kim’s vows. The officiant was Jeremiah’s best friend, Mark Roberts. The ceremony and reception were held at Diamond’s Edge Restaurant & Marina where guests dined on fabulous local fare of a raw bar, clam chowder, mussels and lobster. “Everyone wore a bib...even me,” the bride laughed. A string trio played during the ceremony and cocktail hour, and guests then transitioned to the dance floor with music ranging from classic golden oldies to modern pop hits by Beyoncé, reflecting the couples’ diverse and eclectic taste. Guests were treated to a selection of local root beers and craft beers on the ferry ride back to the mainland. Of their most poignant memory of the day, Kim reflects, “Jeremiah turned to me during the vows and delivered the most perfect speech to me directly. It was so heartfelt. It was a really special moment for me.” Jeremiah struggles to identify just one: “Kim looked amazing walking down the aisle. There was already a real air of love and appreciation among us. I had a hard time keeping it together. We’d worked really hard for that moment.” And so it was time for the two to relax in their love on that Labor Day weekend before honeymooning in Cape Cod. Kim is the owner of Barkstown Road, a specialty pet store with locations in the Highlands and on Frankfort Avenue. Ever the animal lover, with her sister, Aimee, she founded Ferdinand’s Ball, an Oaks Eve party that raises funding for Old Friends Farm, a retirement home for Thoroughbred horses. Jeremiah is an attorney with Abney & McCarty, PLLC, in Louisville. PHOTOS BY SARAH DER PHOTOGRAPHY

he love story of Mark Eliason and Jeffrey Howard and their resulting nuptials on September 24, 2016, was one for the history books. An emotional reading of the Supreme Court decision on same-sex marriage by Mark’s daughter, Summer Eliason, reminded guests what a truly momentous occasion they were witnessing. After four years of dating and a lifetime of waiting, this moment was all about the two things that embody the daily lives of these two gentlemen: celebration and family. A mutual friend from Chicago had introduced the two in 2012 when Mark lived in Louisville and Jeffrey resided in Lexington. Their first date was dinner. Mark recalls, “The following weekend was a wedding of one of my client’s daughters, so I asked Jeff to accompany me.” He said yes. The themes of love and family set the tone from the very beginning. Mark proposed on February 13, 2016, before heading to a Valentine’s Day party at his daughter’s home. He had secured Summer’s blessing on the union first, as they would be expanding their family with Jeffrey’s addition. They both agree that “family is everything.” Calling on his well-honed professional planning and design skills, Mark planned the event in about an hour and Summer helped with the wording of the vows. Mark’s grandson, Halston, hugged him tightly for the entire ceremony, only adding to the sweet sincerity of the occasion. Jeffrey recalls, “It was utterly precious. It accurately represents who and what we are.” Running Water Farm was the obvious selection for the location of the wedding ceremony and reception that followed. The generations-old 100-acre farm had been recently transformed into a stunning series of English gardens and offered the perfect landscape for such a Gatsby-esque celebration.

Mark and Jeff wore identical blue suits and matching rings they had selected from an antique jewelry shop in Chinatown in New York City the previous year. Mark had secretly purchased the rings without Jeff ’s knowledge even before popping the question. Guests were dressed in white while 18 attendants wore varying shades of blue. Everyone joined to dance under the night sky with elegant lights strung across the gorgeous formal gardens of the farm, home to Brad and Carla Sue Broecker – Marks’s friends of 25 years. As the sound of Elvis Presley crooning, “I Can’t Help Falling in Love with You” filled the air, the two walked down either side of the reflecting pool to join hands for the ceremony, officiated by Carla Sue. Jeffrey says, “The moment he took my hand felt like home.” Dozens of chilled bottles of champagne and blue Hpnotiq greeted guests as they arrived. The Silver Spoon catered the affair with heavy hors d’oeuvres and a scrumptious Italian cream cake. Music from DJ Matt Cox kept the energy high and the party mood moving. This was of the utmost importance to Mark, who says, “I wanted it to feel like a real celebration.” The two traveled to Puerto Rico days after the event for their honeymoon having already planned to spend a week there celebrating the 65th anniversary of Jeff ’s parents. While there, they were able to celebrate their wedding once again with Jeff ’s family before celebrating the anniversary of Jeff ’s parents’ marriage the next. Jeff laughs, “I still owe Mark a real honeymoon!” In lieu of gifts, the couple requested that donations be made to Heuser Hearing Institute of Louisville. Guests generously contributed to a cause dear to their hearts and the couple expressed tremendous gratitude, “We had so much support through those donations and by the presence of those we love.” Mark is co-founder and principle in the design firm of Jenkins Eliason Interiors Inc., and Jeffrey is manager of programming and promotions at Baptist Health/Milestone Wellness Center and an international fitness presenter. You can bet that, having joined forces, they will make their corner of the world a more beautiful, vibrant and exciting place to be in. Lucky for us, they call their corner “Louisville.”

ach couple planning an outdoor wedding in the fall hopes for the very best weather, but not all of those hopes are fulfilled. Dr. Kendall Purcell and Carson Stewart were awarded a beautiful sunny day for their wedding in October. They were wed at Oxmoor Farm, also known as Oxmoor Estate and Gardens, in front of 200 guests who were treated to a night of local food and lots of fun. Kendall and Carson met in July 2014 through their mutual friend, Chris McGarvey. Kendall was in the process of moving back to Louisville after finishing her residency in Washington, D.C., and Carson had just moved back from New York a year prior. They had their first date at Holy Grale in the Highlands. The night they got engaged, Carson took Kendall back there and proposed outside at the place where they shared their first kiss. Afterward, the pair had dinner at At the Italian Table, where Carson had organized a dinner to celebrate the engagement with their families. Kendall and Carson knew they wanted an outdoor wedding that incorporated their love of Kentucky and all things local. Kendall was referred to renowned wedding planner Hollis Starks, who helped the pair create the perfect day. “Kendall and Carson weren’t interested in a complicated design, but we included a lot of sophisticated touches,” says Starks, who was voted one of Martha Stewart Weddings top wedding planners in the nation in 2014. “We made the wedding and reception decor subliminally accessible with lots of simple yet sophisticated touches.” The nuptials took place at the historic Oxmoor Farm, where Starks and one other colleague, Lauren Chitwood, have exclusive access for their clients to the property. The lavish estate was the ideal location for Kendall and Carson’s nuptials. “Oxmoor Farm was a great spot to show people because we had so many guests come in from out of town who weren’t familiar with the area,” says Kendall. “It is such a beautiful place.” The bride bought her dress from BHLDN, the wedding line from Anthropologie. Kendall is a fan of the boho-chic store in her everyday attire

and wanted to achieve that ethereal look for her big day. Her hair and makeup for the ceremony were done by Z Salon and Spa. The outdoor ceremony took place in the back garden of Oxmoor Farm, with Reverend Diane Walker officiating. The couple chose to forgo a traditional wedding party and instead elected to invite their brothers to stand next to them. In addition to photographer Todd Pellowe, there was another special guest invited to help document the wedding. The bride’s mother surprised the couple by hiring local artist Brianne Bowers to paint a picture of the ceremony while it was happening, creating a priceless memory for the couple to hang in their home. The reception was held underneath a large white tent on the property, where guests sat in mahogany chairs at tables with centerpieces created by Country Squire Florist using colorful local flowers. Dinner, dessert and coffee were served using copper service wear and placed on large wooden harvest tables perfectly appointed for a fall wedding. Guests dined on offerings from a cocktail buffet prepared by Wiltshire Pantry. The menu included a small hot brown panini, sugar pumpkin biscuits filled with cranberry and sage chicken salad, beef tenderloin on Wiltshire butter buns with Henry Bain sauce, and Caesar salad chopped in Belgian endive Parmesan crisp crumbles. The confetti cake was created by The Sugar Woods bakery in La Grange. Using barn lumber bars, guests enjoyed beverages including a local craft beer tasting and then danced the night away to Music City Rhythm Revue. Later in the evening, they were treated to a meaningful late night snack. Carson, a corporate counselor at Yum! Brands, arranged for the delivery of tacos from Taco Bell to bring the celebratory evening to a close. Kendall and Carson honeymooned in Chile, where they hiked through Patagonia and explored the city of Santiago, sampling Chilean food and wines throughout the trip. “Focusing on the wedding took a long time, but it was worth it to have such a great day,” Kendall says in recollection. “I’ve been to a lot of weddings, but ours was my favorite.”

f you don’t believe in fairytales, perhaps you should allow Derek Anderson’s love story to change your mind. On New Year’s Day 2017, the former UK basketball standout and NBA star took the hand in marriage of international runway model, former Ms. Kentucky United States and Glamour Magazine Phenomenal Woman of the Year, Ashley Miller. Don’t let the sparkle of the tiara distract you from the substance that earned it. That’s actually Dr. Ashley Miller – community advocate and business owner with a Ph.D. in nursing. Their union joins two recognizable, dynamic and respected individuals, and their wedding day was befitting on that stature. But their lives haven’t always been a fairytale. Ashley uses her platform to share her story of a childhood home plagued with addiction issues and recognized education as her way out. Derek was abandoned at a very young age and was homeless for much of his childhood. He knew his athleticism would be his way off the streets. Their paths crossed at an event for the Kentucky Derby and a courtship began. On May 5, the same date they had met for the first time, Derek told Ashley he needed to run by his old neighborhood. He took her to the bench where he had slept when he was homeless, the place where he had looked up at the

sky and prayed to God to deliver him from his current circumstances. She looked up to the sky with him, imagining how broken and desperate he must have felt lying alone on that bench. When she lowered her gaze, Derek was on one knee asking her to be his bride, never to be alone again. Wedding planning was something they wanted to do together. Derek recalls, “I know the saying goes, ‘happy wife, happy life,’ but I really wanted to be involved with the planning process. I wanted it to reflect us together.” Ashley agreed: “Some brides get so stressed in the details of planning that they can’t wait for the day to be over. I wanted it to be a fun experience for us to enjoy together.” The only detail they didn’t decide as a couple was the wedding gown. Ashley envisioned a combination of two special designs and looked to none other than acclaimed evening gown designer Sherri Hill to make her dream dress a reality. Sherri Hill doesn’t normally design for bridal, but as a personal favor to Ashley, the two met at Miss Priss in Lexington, Kentucky, to collaborate. Once they determined that the ceremony and reception would take place at The Henry Clay, both Ashley and Derek wanted to give much consideration to food. The two looked no further than their favorite date night spot. Derek explains, “We have always been dedicated to a weekly Tuesday night date night, and we always go to Ruth’s Chris. They know us well and we have a regular seat, so when we asked them to cater our wedding day, they were fantastic to work with.” Surrounded by 450 friends and family, Ashley describes the moment that she first locked eyes with Derek as the most memorable of the day. Miss Kentucky 2016 Clark Davis serenaded them both with, “Make Me Whole.” Ashley delivered her original vows, and as Derek started to recite his, he recalls, “Every emotion I’ve ever felt about Ashley hit me all at once.” His genuine nervousness and excitement drew encouraging laughs from the audience followed by tears when Derek and his sons surrounded Ashley in a circle to symbolize how she was now a part of their family in a bond that was never-ending and could not be broken. The sincerity of the ceremony was perfectly balanced by the festive and fun atmosphere of the cocktail hour and reception that followed. With a shared passion for basketball (the couple engages in the occasional one-on-one hoops matchups, and despite what you may assume, the former NBA pro doesn’t always emerge the victor) the sport was an appropriate theme to the celebration. Their friendly rivalry over UK and UofL was demonstrated in their wedding party’s attire. Derek’s groomsmen wore white tuxedos with blue accessories. Ashely’s bridesmaids wore red and white gowns custom-made by Pare’ Boutique. Each guest received a “ticket” to the reception where the bridal party was introduced starting lineup-style and were welcomed by a host of “cheerleaders,” all women Ashley has mentored in recent years. The evening was perfectly accented with décor by Millenium Events and was topped with a cake by Lorie Blevins that had been driven three hours for the occasion. The couple’s custom DNA logo was a visual motif throughout the day. Besides the obvious combination of their initials, Ashley explains, “DNA also influences who you love. When you realize that every step in your life has led you to cross paths with the one person on this earth you’ve been prepared to love and be life partners with, you realize that DNA is much more than microbiology. It can also mean eternal love.”

business briefs DERBY FESTIVAL ANNOUNCES 2017 ROYAL COURT A sign of spring in Kentuckiana, new Derby Festival Royalty was named Monday morning. The five women selected to serve as Princesses in the 2017 Kentucky Derby Festival Royal Court were introduced in a ceremony at Macy’s at Oxmoor Center. The Royal Court Program is coordinated by The Fillies, Inc., a volunteer group that works closely with the Festival. Fillies President Kathy Bingham joined KDF President and CEO Mike Berry as well as 2017 Derby Festival Chair Lisa Stevenson in crowning the newly appointed court. They are: Kailee Barnes of Louisville, Kentucky Natalie Brown of Crestwood, Kentucky Sidney Cobb of Frankfort, Kentucky Daphne Woolridge of Louisville, Kentucky Taylor Marchelle Young of Louisville, Kentucky Two alternates were also chosen – Macey Mayes of Central City, Kentucky, and Alexis Skaggs of Rineyville, Kentucky. These five young ladies will act as ambassadors for the 2017 Kentucky Derby Festival, attending nearly 70 events over a two-week period. They were selected Saturday, January 7, after attending final judging with 24 other finalist candidates. There were more than 130 original applicants for the Royal Court Program, representing 24 different colleges and universities. All the applicants went through preliminary judging in November. One of the five will be crowned the Derby Festival Queen by a spin-of-the-wheel at the annual Fillies Derby Ball on April 8 at the Louisville Marriott Downtown. Each woman will receive a $2,000 scholarship ($1,000 from the Fillies and $1,000 from the Kentucky Derby Festival Foundation). Candidates for the Princess Program must maintain a minimum 3.0 grade-point average and are selected by a panel of three out-of-state judges. Criteria for selection includes knowledge of the Derby Festival, poise, intelligence, personality and campus and community involvement. The first Derby Festival Princess was crowned in 1957, the second year of the Festival. Previous Princesses have included former Kentucky Governor Martha Layne Collins and the late Gail Gorski, the first female pilot ever hired by United Airlines. COALITION FOR THE HOMELESS AND PARTNERS AIM TO END YOUNG ADULT HOMELESSNESS IN LOUISVILLE The fastest rising group of the homeless population, both locally and nationwide, are young adults age 18-24. From 2008 to 2009, 2009 to 2010, and again from 2010 to 2011, the number of homeless young adults in Louisville doubled, reaching a peak of 562 in 2013. In 2015, 418 young adults age 18-24 were living in adult emergency shelter or on the streets, plus an additional 450 youth below the age of 18 were served by YMCA Safe Place Services of Louisville. In response to this alarming data, the Coalition for the Homeless and a committee of nearly 50 local providers, community leaders and government members have launched a new Rx: Housing initiative to end homelessness among unaccompanied young adults by the end of 2020, if not sooner. The extensive plan focuses on intervention by providing housing and life-changing services, which are intended to lead to health benefits and self-sufficiency. Partners include the Family Scholar House, Home of the Innocents, YMCA Safe Place Services of Louisville, KentuckianaWorks, YouthBuild and Centerstone. The effort’s success will be gauged on nine measurable outcome goals, including housing all identified homeless young adults and shortening the length of time young adults are unsheltered to no more than 30 days. The committee’s work began in the last quarter of 2016 by assembling a Youth Advisory Board, comprised of young adults who have been homeless at some point during their lives, who helped the committee understand the barriers to success and made recommendations on every aspect of the plan.

efforts include collecting and creating data on homeless youth, mapping the existing services, identifying and prioritizing gaps in resources, prioritizing projects for funding, measuring the success of various housing models, coordinating services to ensure that all youth on a by-name list are served and updating the list monthly to measure progress. DERBY FESTIVAL NAMES 2017 POSTER ARTIST The Kentucky Derby Festival has selected Louisville resident and self-taught artist, Ron Jasin, as the Official Poster Artist for the 2017 Derby Festival. His artwork will be featured throughout the Festival’s Official Poster and Merchandise line in 2017. It will also be showcased at the Derby Festival’s first event of the spring, “Festival Unveiled,” on March 2. Tickets for the event are on sale now at kdf.org. Well-known in the music scene for his album art work and gig posters, Jasin has worked with artists and organizations including My Morning Jacket, The Decemberists, Calexico, WFPK and Neil Young. Jasin and his wife own Madpixel, an art and design studio specializing and combining their passions: photography, illustration, design and printmaking. Ron has held positions at several publications in Louisville including assistant art director of Louisville Magazine and the art director of LEO weekly. He is currently following a new passion as the creative director at Copper & Kings American Brandy Company in Butchertown. “The image Ron Jasin created for the 2017 Kentucky Derby Festival was selected because it showcases icons significant to the Festival and the diverse community we call home,” said Mike Berry, KDF President & CEO. “The image will also translate well to other items we believe Festival fans will love in our merchandise line this year.” PROSPECT LATIN PRESCHOOL BEGINS TRANSITION TO KLA SCHOOL OF PROSPECT Prospect Latin Preschool, acquired by KLA Schools last December, will change its name to KLA School of Prospect. The name change represents the transition of the school to the national KLA brand, which stands for Kids Learning Adventure. “We are excited to announce this transition and welcome KLA School of Prospect to the KLA Schools Family,” says founder and president of KLA Schools, Roberto Ortega. “Our mission at KLA Schools is to provide a safe, affordable, upscale environment and high-quality education for the students of Prospect and surrounding communities inspired by the Reggio Emilia Approach to education.” Formerly known as Prospect Latin Preschool, KLA School of Prospect will continue to offer the same quality and value that it has offered its students previously. Furthermore, there will be continuous enhancements to the school and educational training for the teachers. The Reggio Emilia Approach is designed to tap into that native creativity, and it’s ideally suited to prepare children to overcome life’s challenges and succeed academically. Through enrichment programs like Piano Math Keys, Chess and Latin Locomotive, KLA School of Prospect will strive to provide the finest in education to all students, both current and future. The school will combine KLA School’s innovative curriculum, which puts the child’s interest and learning process at the forefront, with Prospect Latin Preschool’s rich history and love of learning.

He snacks his way to apple brandied pie heaven and finishes strong with a glorious Southern fried chicken and sweet potato waffles. ANNE KOCH, DMD, TO SPEAK ON SUPPORTING GENDER AFFIRMING SURGERY AND CREATING A WELCOMING ENVIRONMENT FOR LGBTQ PATIENTS Anne Koch, D.M.D., a highly accomplished endodontist, underwent gender affirming surgery, transitioning from male to female at age 63.

METRO AREA INITIATIVE TO END CHILD ABUSE LAUNCHES NEW RESOURCE HUB The Kosair Charities Face It Movement is celebrating the new year with the launch of its new and improved website. As a hub of child abuse prevention and intervention resources, the goal is to promote best practices, engage the community and advocate for effective policies to improve the child welfare system. The layout of the new site equips parents and caregivers, community members and professionals with easy to navigate resources that best fit their interests and needs. In Kentucky, over 19,500 children experienced abuse or neglect in calendar year 2015. Everyone has a role in ensuring communities are safe places for children to grow and thrive. Members of the community can use the Face It site to learn the warning signs of abuse, tools to promote prevention and ways to get involved. The new Face It site allows parents and caregivers to search for tips and resources based on their child’s age and stage. “As the First Lady, I have made a commitment to ensure children in Kentucky are safe from abuse and neglect,” said First Lady Glenna Bevin. “The Face It Movement’s newly launched website gets us closer to our goal as it provides helpful resources for parents, community members and professionals to prevent, recognize and respond to child abuse and neglect.” Other features of the new site include an events calendar, partner information page, and a form to order free prevention brochures and posters. Also, a “Report It” button is visible throughout the site that provides information on reporting child abuse and neglect in Kentucky and all surrounding state.

Miriam Spectre Marcus Miriam Spectre Marcus, passed away quietly in her sleep early Wednesday morning before Christmas on December 21, 2016, from complications related to a progressive illness. She was born in Louisville, the middle child of Elliott and Rena (Specter) Marcus of Frankfort, where her family owned and operated Marcus Furniture. She attended Capital Day School in Frankfort, where she showed artistic promise from an early age, and went on to dance with the Louisville Ballet while in high school. Miriam graduated from Frankfort High in 1972, and enrolled at Sarah Lawrence College in Bronxville, NY, from which she graduated in Pre-Med in 1976. Many of her college weekends were spent in NYC with a fellow SLC classmate’s family in

37 TVT.indd 37

Manhattan, where she was also able to visit her uncle, famous interior and furniture designer and Coty Award winner, the late Jay Spectre, at his Park Avenue apartment. After graduation, she returned to Louisville, where, after her marriage to fellow SLC grad, Brad Bohman, she began medical school at the University of Louisville. While a top student there her first two years, she consulted a neurologist related to increasing bouts of fatigue and received a preliminary diagnosis of Multiple Sclerosis. She was advised that attempting a medical residency in Surgery (Plastics), which she had been planning, might prove fatal to her, so she left U of L Med School after two years and began a string of highly successful medically-related jobs in the 80s, culminating in a sales position with the E.I. DuPont Corporation, where she quickly rose to the post of Regional Manager for Medical Sales. During her working career, Miriam was on the Founding Board of Hospice of Louisville, as well the Board of the Louisville Visual Arts Association, and was an active member of Preservation Alliance. She was also a member of the 1990-91 class of Leadership Louisville, and was an avid U of L basketball supporter at Freedom Hall. When she could no longer fulfill the travel duties her DuPont position required, she retired on disability in 1994. Miriam exhibited her artistic ability, winning school art contests, as early as grade school, and especially loved to reproduce the classic illustrations of John Tenniel, which she found in copies of Lewis Carroll’s “Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland” and “Through the Looking Glass”. Even at a young age, she helped her father pick out carpeting and wallpaper when he won contracts to refurbish office buildings for State Government in Frankfort. She later took up watercolor painting and joined the Kentucky

Watercolor Society in Louisville. When she recently heard the definition of “tetrachromacy”, which means someone possesses four independent channels for conveying color information in the brain, or possesses four different types of cone cells in the eye (as opposed to the standard two in most mammals), a rare human condition found almost exclusively in females and by possibly as few as 2-3% of women worldwide, Miriam was positive that she possessed the trait, and that it was this heightened sense of color had been driving her artistically all her life. After her marriage ended in divorce in the mid-80s, Miriam focused her attention on doing something she had been dreaming of, and planning, since she was a child: building her dream home. The dusty rose and teal house she dubbed “Wonderland” was completed in late 1989, and was subsequently featured in the Courier-Journal “Sunday Section” in March 1990, and later, in “House Beautiful” magazine on three separate occasions over the next few years, twice for use of color. It was her pride and joy, and her refuge. In 1998, Miriam met Jerry Kauper, a Midwestern transplant to Louisville in 1986, whose marriage had also ended in divorce, in the late 80s. They instantly “clicked”, and in 1999, decided to wed. With Miriam’s encouragement and support, her husband took on a new profession, enrolling in Nursing School, graduating in 2007 as an RN. This proved to be an invaluable resource for them during their marriage. Miriam was politically active in the Kentucky Democratic Party for most of her adult life, starting with Harvey Sloan’s second Louisville mayoral campaign in 1982 and culminating in 200708 with stepping up to be the Volunteer Co-ordinator for Obama For America in Kentucky and Southern Indiana.

the Bronze Star Medal, the Combat Infantryman Badge and the European Theater of Operations Medal with four battle stars. He graduated from the University of Kentucky College of Law in 1948, where he was a member of Phi Delta Theta fraternity. He practiced law in Lexington for more than 60 years, beginning as a partner in McDonald Alford and Roszell (1950-80) and as a partner in Harbison Kessinger Lisle and Bush (1980-83).

As you’re likely aware, Clemson toppled mighty Alabama in one of the most memorable national championship games of all-time, keeping the Crimson Tide from winning their fifth title in eight years, and bringing the crown back to South Carolina for the first time since 1981. “This is a dream come true,” Clemson Coach Dabo Swinney said after the game. “There’s no doubt in my mind that the best is yet to come for us. I mean, we’re going to continue to improve, continue to get better. Winning National Championships are hard. I mean, it’s very, very difficult

For Louisville, both Clemson and Florida State represent both the goal and the obstacle. The Cardinals can sit back and marvel at the fact that they destroyed the Orange Bowl champion Seminoles by 43 points and were six yards away from knocking off the eventual national champions on their home field, or they can feel the reality smack of just how little both of those accomplishments wound up meaning when all was said and done. Louisville began the season ranked No. 19 in the Associated Press Top 25. Despite a 9-1 start, a 7-1 run in a conference that proved to be the best in America, and a Heisman Trophy winner playing the sport’s most important position, the Cardinals finished the season with a ranking of No.

21. Rankings alone never tell the entire story of a season, but it’s hard for fans (or players or coaches) to view a campaign as an overwhelming success when the resting spot winds up being less attractive than the starting one. The game has changed for Louisville football, and everyone associated with the program needs to get used to that. My assumption is that the Cardinals aren’t content with settling into an NC State-esque role of winning eight or nine games every season. If they want to approach the status that Clemson now has and that Florida State has known for decades, it’s time to go to work. It’s time to shed the mentality of being the plucky upstart that’s just happy to be here and start taking the next steps in the evolution of the program. The road to making that happen isn’t getting any smoother. “We play in the deepest, most competitive conference in the country,” Sweeney said. “I think all you media folks need to change your stories. Look at the records, look at the bowl wins, look at the coaches, all of those things say that the ACC is the best conference in the country, and it’s time for your stories to start reflecting that.” Swinney has a point. No conference produced a better bowl record than the ACC, and with new coaches like Justin Fuente (Virginia Tech) and Mark Richt (Miami) having such overwhelming success right out of the gate, it seems more likely than not that the league will find itself in the same position a few more times in the coming years. It’s time for Louisville to go to work. VT PHOTO BY ADAM CREECH

Honestly, I don’t remember any of this They’re still not getting the ball into Bam conversation when John Wall went to play North Carolina, or Brandon Knight to play regularly enough, and that’s a weakness – Florida, or Julius Randle and the Harrisons not because their win-loss record is sufferto play Texas A&M, or Willie Cauley-Stein ing but because he’s a special weapon that requires care and treatment, taking him off to play Kansas. the gun rack, polishing him up and making Would it affect his play?

oops per game and clean the boards. But that’s not involving him sufficiently. And they still don’t have enough brute force underneath. Cal’s trying to make Isaac Humphries part of the mix, but it’s slow to percolate. Right now, nobody seems afraid to take the ball inside against this UK team. And a clever veteran like Quentin Snider showed how effective that can be. I think Big Blue Nation was spoiled by the 2014-15 team that had one of the best, deepest and strongest college frontcourts ever. That was a team that could use almost any five-man combination and be better than anything anybody else put on the floor. This Kentucky team’s main four guys probably match up well-enough with, say, Cauley-Stein, Karl-Anthony Towns and the Harrisons. But this bunch doesn’t have Trey Lisles, Devin Booker, Tyler Ulis and Dakari Johnson waiting to come in. That team was so overwhelming that it almost didn’t matter how much any one player scored on any given night. This team has a much slighter margin for error. So it was actually pretty encouraging to see it roll up 97 points on a night when its best scorer had just 12 points and missed all five of his threes. But seriously, Monk, don’t do this again. VT

Did it affect his play? Maybe, though I think if it did, it was more about all the questions and conversation aimed at him, and the reassurances from John Calipari, than it was about anything he was feeling on the inside. Look, Monk’s “game” is shooting a basketball from a long range and expecting it to drop into that narrow hole – diameter, 18 inches. It’s hardly automatic. Don’t expect this 18-year-old (turns 19 next month) to shoot night after night after night the way he did against North Carolina and Ole Miss. By the way, I put Monk’s “game” in irony quotes, because his game is a great deal more than shooting threes. He’s a remarkable athlete and an all-around basketball player just developing his skills. That’s what you get with Kentucky basketball these days. A lot of youngsters “just developing their skills.” In the meantime, these youngsters are rolling through the SEC, as expected. Not so much because the conference is weak but because the Cats are so good. They’re finding a way to put these teams away and leave PHOTO BY VICTORIA GRAFF

Mahmoud Makes Goals Priorities Anas Mahmoud moved into the UofL starting lineup before their 77-62 win over Indiana in Indianapolis on December 31. The 7-foot-0 junior center from Egypt is one of the top shot blockers in the nation and has become a weapon as a low post scorer. He speaks four languages: English, Arabic, French and German. Mahmoud has battled weight issues throughout his career, but the opposite of most of us – he’s trying to put weight on. What do you weigh now?

Have you worked to become a good shot blocker or is most of it natural?

223.

What do they want you to weigh? Around 240.

Taylor’s 10 KENT TAYLOR

I did work on it when I was young. I had like a second delay. I was mostly late. I worked a lot to work on my timing. My length helped me a lot in being a good shot blocker and just being able to see the ball at all times and react quicker.

WAVE3 Sports

You scored a career-high 15 points last season at Georgia Tech. What did that game do for your confidence? I think it was the first game that I actually got in the post and I experienced what it feels like when you actually do post moves and play a post game. It felt great and we came out with the win.

How do you feel like you affect the game? I go out there and the first thing I’m thinking about is how to help my team. I don’t really care what I do offensively as long as

I’m there on defense, blocking shots and closing out and doing every little thing that my team needs on defense. Giving 100 percent effort is one thing that Coach P. always talks to me about.

How long did you go home for this summer? I went home for the whole month of May.

Is that something you have been able to do often? No, that was the first time in the last two years. VT

You seem to be more aggressive in the post, is that right? I think that the heavier I get and the stronger I get helps me a lot as far as post moves. In high school, I was 170, 180 pounds and I didn’t play inside because I couldn’t. The stronger I get, the better offensively I have gotten on the inside.

How much does having David Padgett in practice, on the court, help you improve? He can actually work with me, and this summer when I came back from Egypt and I lost a couple of pounds, he worked with me a lot on my game and teaching me how to understand and how we want to play as a team.

Were you worried when Coach Pitino said at the tipoff luncheon that if you didn’t get to a certain weight, he was going to take your phone away? I was. I lost it for four days I think. It was tough, that’s why it’s never going to happen again. PHOTO COURTESY OF BMB PRODUCTIONS

Some may call it ironic, but I say it’s no coincidence that Wales played a part in recruiting his basketball buddy as a Tiger in his final year. “I think I got him to kind of sit down and think about coming to Fern Creek and have not only the opportunity to win the state championship but to win Mr. Basketball as well,” Wales says. Well, those two together pieced with the other parts and experience that Fern Creek has gives them a legitimate shot at hoisting not only a regional championship but a state championship come March. Coach Schooler believes Wales’ – who averages 14.4 points per contest – consistent play at point guard will help lead the troops toward continued success: “He has a poker face that never gets too high or too low. When you can never show any emotion and play with emotion, you can be a scary animal. And that is what he’s been for me. He’s been a coach on the floor, and every great team and every great program needs that.” Well Rocky got his “eye of the tiger” back and went on to reclaim his championship belt. While Fern Creek’s great season is still unfolding, this fierce group of Tigers are stopping at nothing to live up to their statement “we run the six.” VT

“We run the six was a saying we came up with in the summer saying we run the sixth [region], and we are coming for the sixth region title this year,” says junior point guard Anthony Wales. It’s a hoodie the basketball program hopes sends a message to the rest of those in the tough region. “For me coming in this year, I wanted to have the title ‘we run the six’ to let people know we have been working and we feel strongly about what we have been doing,” adds Head Coach James Schooler III. “A lot of people are saying the sixth region is the top region this year in Louisville. So if it is the top region and we run that region, that’s pretty good for us. This year was all about mindset, and ‘we run the six’ puts us in the right mindset when we step out.” Regardless of the fact that Doss has been the reigning sixth region champion the past two seasons, this group of Tigers have roared tumultuously with a 13-1 record and have knocked off some talented programs in Ballard, Trinity and J A N U A R Y 1 2 , 2 0 1 7 • V O I C E -T R I B U N E .

For the past five or six years, Regent had not offered cruises that they called World Cruises, usually ones lasting around 130 days or more. They had Grand Voyages like “Circle South America” that were nice and fun. We circled South America including going up the Amazon twice in four years. But it wasn’t the same as the ones around the world that we had done a few years earlier. There were lots of us old-timers that wanted another World Cruise. So, a couple of years ago, new management had an epiphany. With a small fleet of two 700-passenger ships and a third one of similar size under construction, they took another look at their only other remaining, smaller and oldest ship, The Navigator, and decided to re-outfit it and dedicate it to reinventing their version of World Cruising. With a capacity of only 450 passengers, they planned to fill it or almost so with World Cruisers and create an exclusive feeling for those that wanted this style and approach to travel. Their assessment of their customer base was pretty good; 90 percent of the ship is filled with travelers who are going the whole way from Miami around the world and back to Miami. No need for international flying, going or coming. To kick things off and have an opportunity to meet our fellow travelers, our cruise included flying to Miami J A N U A R Y 1 2 , 2 0 1 7 • V O I C E -T R I B U N E . C O M

It was really great to find that the total renovation of the ship was beautiful. Most of it met our approval, except that they removed some precious cabinet space to put in a BIG flat-screen TV in our sitting area. With mandatory life boat drill complete, we finished unpacking and headed for our favorite bar. (All of the bars are our favorites, but this was the closest one!) It was like “old home week,” and I remembered that I like a French martini (vodka, Chambord and pineapple juice). One only needs one French Martini on an empty stomach, so we headed to the main dining room, the Compass Rose, for dinner. There are three dining rooms including Prime Seven (steak and lobster), Sette Marie (casual Italian) and the Compass Rose, the large main dining room. In the daytime, Sette Marie becomes LaVeranda which is a very casual buffet for breakfast and lunch. There is also the pool deck for lunch, and a coffee corner of pastry, snacks, sodas and tables to sit and chat. And this is near the library, I.T. area, and a long run of veranda where some come to sit and needlepoint or gossip, have refreshments and play bridge, canasta and backgammon. There are also fresh cookies every hour! Duplicate bridge has its own room. There is even a bowling tournament! Many days, there is indoor golf putting, duplicate bridge and mahjongg.

The first morning, there was a lecture: “Naturalists on the Isthmus of Panama, 100 Years of Natural History on the Biological Bridge of the Americas” by a research associate at the Smithsonian Tropical Research Institute since 1983. That was followed by “The Exploration of Pluto by New Horizons” by Dr. Alan Stern, a planetary scientist, space program executive, aerospace consultant and author. It was a question and answer talk. The Canyon Ranch Seminar, “Secrets to a Flatter Stomach” was a bummer as all anyone wanted to do was go for a cocktail and lunch! Then it was bowling tournament time! That was it! It was time for quiet peaceful lunch with a widowed friend from Cincinnati in the Compass Rose and then a nap! The next day at sea, nothing was planned! It was sheer bliss to relax and do nothing, watch a movie and read. The day after that, we anchored at Georgetown on Grand Cayman Island, husband Brad took a shore excursion and I indulged myself with my favorite pastime, uninterrupted reading, from one of the 30 books I brought along.

have read them. The shore excursion was billed as “Cultural Express,” which included a visit to a Botanical Garden and Pedro St. James, a National Historic Site. It wasn’t the best season to see a botanical garden at its best, but we did get to see a blue iguana, a protected species that has its own safeguarded area in the garden. Pedro St. James was another story. It is the oldest stone structure in the Cayman Islands. It was built using slave labor in 1780 by wealthy Englishman, mariner and plantation owner William Eden. The spectacularly built three-story home with its sturdy stone walls, slate roof and sweeping mahogany verandas earned its name “Pedro Castle” as it is still known today. Once a cotton plantation, a jailhouse, a courthouse, a government assembly and a restaurant before the Government of the Cayman Islands purchased the land in 1996 and restored the house to its 18th-century grandure. The day after Grand Cayman was a sea day on our way to the South American city of Cartagena, Colombia. On the way, we did get some culture by attending a lecture by Smithsonian Curator of American Music John Edward Hasse. He has curated exhibitions on Duke Ellington, Ella

Fitzgerald, Frank Sinatra and Ray Charles, and founded the Smithsonian Jazz Masterworks Orchestra, among other things. Dinner was in the specialty restaurant Prime 7 and we had a “sharing” table with a couple we didn’t know. Her home is in Michigan and his in California and they commute between the two homes and their five children, all from previous marriages. The menu in Prime7 features big steaks, big lobsters and lamb chops among other carnivorous delights. Vegetables are definitely to be shared. I had crab cakes and a double order of foie gras sliders with onion rings. The shrimp in Brad’s appetizer were definitely two-biters each, and his lobster was obscene. But dessert was over the top: a popcorn Sunday featuring chocolate and vanilla ice cream covered in popcorn, chocolate fudge, caramel sauce and salted peanuts. We looked forward to Cartagena and the memories it brings. In fact, 20-some-odd years ago, we cruised there on the Raddison Diamond with Rose Rubel, Hazel and George Garcia, Mary Margaret and Billy Joe Phelps, Bunny and Ken Barker and other Pyramid Club members.

Greek Glendi

A beloved Louisville tradition, the Greek Glendi, held by the Hellenic Society of Louisville, will be taking place February 3 at The Olmsted. To learn more about this year’s fun and festive event, we chatted with co-chairperson Emily Digenis. What is the Greek Glendi? The word “Glendi” literally means “party,” but for the Greek community, it encompasses far more than just a social event. For the past 43 years, the Hellenic Society of Louisville has hosted this event as a way of showcasing Greek culture and heritage through fine cuisine and entertainment. Our culture is deeply rooted in what we refer to as “philoxenia” or hospitality, so this event provides a way for the Louisville community to partake in our hospitality. On Friday, February 3, get ready to sample the finest Greek cuisine unlike any

other in Louisville, dance to authentic live bouzouki music, revel in the vibrant colors and steps of the Athenian dancers all without packing your passport. I co-chair along with Melina Digenis. What can guests expect at the event? Greek hospitality at its finest. For one night only, we transform The Olmsted into a culinary and cultural odyssey through fine Greek cuisine, traditional dancing and live bouzouki music. Guests will enjoy a four-course dinner, Greek dancing (crowd

participation is highly encouraged) and bouzouki music throughout the evening. We also have one of the most culturally diverse silent auctions around. Why is the event important for the Hellenic Society of Louisville and the greater community? As a Louisvillian first and foremost, I am proud our city celebrates diversity. Greek Glendi celebrates the Greek culture and heritage while benefiting local charities and ministries. We’re so honored to have the Mayor and his wife, Dr. Gerassimides, as our noted guests of honor every year to kick off this event that celebrates the vibrant and rich Hellenic culture and heritage. How has the event grown over the years? This has become a premier cultural event for Louisville, and we sell out every year. Is it too late to get tickets? Reservations can be made online at glendi.us or by contacting me via email: emilydigenis@gmail.com. You can also check out our Facebook page, Greek Glendi. Cost is $100 per person or tables of 10 for $1,000. Deadline to hold reservations is January 25, and seating is limited. VT

If you’re in Louisville’s Highlands neighborhood and seeking to escape into the world of a Southern European inn, La Chasse provides the perfect opportunity to do all of these things and more.

The scent of its wood fire grill invites you in from the street. Its wood, brick and earth tone colors warm you inside. And its relaxed, approachable and friendly environment guide you to the table, where Chef Alex DuLaney may stop by himself to make sure you’re enjoying your experience. “We are all about hospitality here,” says owner Isaac Fox. “We are looking to offer a five-star quality of food, beverage and service but with the warmth and conviviality of a family dining room or rustic European inn.” La Chasse in its name is French. However, this is not the white tablecloth, overtly formal, stuffy atmosphere one might expect when visualizing French dining. “After the recession of 2007 and 2008, there has been an increasing PHOTOS BY DAN DRY

trend toward value, friendliness and comfort,” explains Fox. This is why La Chasse offers a Southern French and Spanish infusion menu, which has the singular ability to make you feel as if you have been invited into your best friend’s grandmother’s home in the south of France, and she is as good of a cook as she is a welcoming hostess. The food at La Chasse is some of the best I have ever tasted. Never in my life have I experienced so many dishes in a dining experience that have so many different flavors dancing on my palate, each deliciously distinguishable but none overwhelming the other. The sweetbreads swirl in sautéed mushrooms and a garlic cream sauce accented with a sweet puff pastry, perfectly complemented by a veal thyme jus. All of these flavors are clearly present as you eat, taking you on a journey of respective tastes that fit unbelievably well together – and these are only the appetizers!

The red and gold beet salad is composed of oranges, basil and pistachios and pulled together with a mouthwatering herbed chardonnay creamy gastrique. The giant pan seared diver scallop is served over a lemon-parmesan risotto, which makes the sweetness of the scallop explode across your tongue. The dry rubbed ribeye is truly to-die-for, a must for any carnivorous visitor. The meat is amazing and perfectly cooked, and Chef DuLaney pairs it with black pepper, coriander and a sherry reduction that is absolutely exquisite. If you have never tried dry rubbed ribeye with a sweet sherry flavor, I suggest you give this a shot. Tuesday through Thursday, La Chasse offers special soufflé desserts, chocolate coconut with vanilla bean crème anglaise and more. They also offer an intensive craft cocktail menu, featuring 40 seasonally changing cocktails. VT For more information on La Chasse, visit lachasselouisville.com or call 502.822.3963.

LIFE

The First Night After the reception, when guests have headed home and the champagne bottles have been drained, it’s time for a newly married couple to settle in for the night. Fortunately for those tying the knot in Louisville, River City has no dearth of fabulous accommodations for couples to consider on their first night as newlyweds. Here are some of our favorites.

Aloft Louisville Downtown Setting the Scene: Aloft Louisville, one of the city’s newest hotels, offers modern accommodations and the most technologically advanced guest rooms available. From its market-leading internet speed to in-room SMART televisions, keeping the guests connected and productive is Aloft’s main focus. The cosmopolitan and technological decor asserts Aloft as an unequivocally modern hotel that is deeply in touch with the needs and desires of the 21st-century guest. In addition, Aloft is the first and only LEED certified hotel in Louisville. Additionally, the comfortable Corner Bar in the lobby offers guests a unique, local experience with a very “personalized” feel.

The Special Touch: Couples will surely enjoy the breathtaking views of the bustle of downtown from Aloft’s Corner suites, which speak to both the modernity of technology as well as the timelessness of Louisville icons. Moreover, prior to the wedding weekend, the newlyweds-to-be meet with Aloft’s bartenders and create and name their very own custom cocktail, which will be on the menu throughout the wedding weekend for everyone to enjoy. Once the celebration’s winding down, party-goers can stop into the conveniently located Corner Bar for the wedding’s after party, which will feature Corner’s signature cocktails, extensive bourbon list, late-night bites, live music and relaxed atmosphere.

The Brown Hotel Setting the Scene: A Louisville legend since 1923, the Brown Hotel is beloved by generations of guests for its Georgian-Revival elegance and timeless Southern charm. Anchoring downtown Louisville with a firm grasp on history paired with a 21st-century appreciation for hospitality, this landmark hotel at the corner of Fourth and Broadway blends breathtaking architectural features with the modern amenities and services today’s most discerning travelers expect. From exquisite event space to the city’s finest dining, the Brown infuses every experience with gentility and refinement. The Brown offers some of the most sumptuous catering and reception spaces in Louisville. From the magnificent Crystal Ballroom to the elegant banquet rooms, at the Brown Hotel, you’ll discover a backdrop perfectly suited for bridal events including rehearsal dinners, bridesmaids lunches and farewell brunches.

The Special Touch: As the Brown is steeped in history, it offers some of Louisville’s most prized amenities as its special add-ons for newlyweds – or any guests. Such optional additions include bourbon flights, a dozen roses, sparkling wine, bourbon balls and Hot Browns. For the ultimate experience, couples may choose to stay in one of the Brown’s crown jewels: the Muhammad Ali Suite. This elegant suite showcases signed Ali memorabilia, photos and boxing gloves. Opulent and oversized, it is decorated in shades of gold and black and features a separate living room with wet bar, dining room with crystal chandelier and hardwood floor, and two full bathrooms. The bedroom has a mahogany four-poster king bed and master bath with marble Jacuzzi tub. J A N U A R Y 1 2 , 2 0 1 7 • V O I C E -T R I B U N E . C O M

Her attire was deep concern, “I hope you brought more than fitting; Henry’s voice is as clear as tissues!” Cinderella’s glass slippers. We had not. Fortunately for us, the laughter to tears ratio was 3:1. Set in South Philly in March 1959 and written by Lanie Robertson, “Lady Day at Emerson’s Bar and Grill” is a play about a star in the fading light of her last days. In front of an audience in a small cabaret, Billie Holiday spends an evening unspooling the story of her life through oral interludes and her legendary songs. She is joined on stage by pianist Jimmy Powers, a drummer, a bassist and briefly by her little dog, Pepi the Chihuahua. “Lady Day at Emerson’s Bar and Grill” debuted in Atlanta in 1986.

The first song she began to sing, “I Wonder Where Our Love Has Gone,” felt like we were watching a private moment, someone in deep conversation with their own thoughts. Her eyes mostly stayed lowered, looking toward the cocktail in her hand. Then, she lifted her eyes and the audience fell further under her spell. She traded banter with Powers and drifted around the stage with drink in hand like the life of the party. But we all knew where this party was headed. At several points in the evening, Henry scales up the stairs and throws quips over her shoulder at audience members. When she neared my seat in the fifth row, I could hear the beadwork on her dress rustle against the steps. You will be treated to iconic Holiday songs like “God Bless the Child” and “Strange Fruit” mixed

in with a few with which you might not be as familiar. Before our eyes, we watched as Holiday went from blazing as bright as the sun to a mere pinprick of light. Lighting designer Paul Toben masterfully shows this transition with lighting that washes over the entire stage at the onset of the play and is closed in tight around Henry’s face and shoulders by the last number, the audience blanketed in complete darkness. Les Waters, artistic director, and Kevin E. Moore, managing director, have done the city of Louisville a great service by selecting “Lady Day at Emerson’s Bar and Grill” to begin the calendar year. It’s a play that will light you up with joy and bring you face-toface with the ugliness of racism and the beauty and humanity that can be found in even the most tortured soul. I look forward to seeing where Waters and Moore take us next. MAKE A NIGHT OF IT The play is running January 3-29 with at least one showing every day except Mondays. To make the most of your evening, secure the best seats in the house: the $25 cafe seating in the front row of the Bingham Theatre by calling the box office directly. Arrive with white gardenias in your hair or tucked into your lapel to honor Billie Holiday with her signature flower. If you go on a Sunday, you can dine at Milkwood before or after and enjoy Chef Ed Lee’s new Southern dim sum menu featuring a rotating array of small plates.

Our kids are just walk a lot (in my house grown, and we are enjoying ourand around the block). I selves to the fullest. We are both know exercise is a good idea, in excellent health and still young Dear Abby but I’m really self-conscious at heart. How can we tell her that we have a life we love without her about it. I never feel like JEANNE being so resentful? – LOVING I’m doing it right (because PHILLIPS LIFE IN CALIFORNIA I know you can easily pull a DEAR LOVING: You can’t, because your muscle), and I feel like everyone else mother feels you should be at her beck and in the gym is judging me. call. She has had you close since you were a child, and now she may be feeling deserted.

Now that I’m 17, Mom expects me to be more mature about this. I don’t even feel comfortable swimming in public places anymore. I feel stressed about it, but Mom just thinks I’m being picky. Being in a gym makes me feel unhappy and judged. I wish there was a better way to exercise, but I don’t know what. How can I get my mom to understand how hard this is for me? – WONDERING IN WICHITA DEAR WONDERING: Going to a gym can be fun if you do it with a buddy. Most of the people there are more concerned with what THEY are doing than what anyone else is. That said, going to the gym isn’t for everyone. There are many forms of exercise. Tell your mother you would prefer to exercise on your own rather than go to a gym. Then put on your walking shoes, leave the house and walk for 20 to 30 minutes a day. It’s good for you. Listen to music when you’re doing it and it will make the time go quickly. And on days when you don’t want to go outside, put on some music and dance. It’s good for the circulation, and it’s also good for the soul. *** DEAR ABBY: My husband and I have been married for 44 years. We eloped in high school and still feel like newlyweds. We built a successful business, ran it for 40 years and recently had an opportunity to sell it. The problem is my mother. We bought a second home in California, but kept our first home. Every time I call to ask how she and J A N U A R Y 1 2 , 2 0 1 7 • V O I C E -T R I B U N E . C O M

At this point, I don’t advise telling your mother that you “have a life you love” without her. Instead, I suggest that you phrase your greeting to her more carefully. Rather than ask how she and your dad are doing, say that you are “calling to check in.” Say that you were thinking about her. And if she starts in with “you don’t care,” tell her that you DO care or you wouldn’t be on the phone with her, but if she keeps giving you a guilt trip, she’ll be hearing from you less. *** DEAR ABBY: If you go to a party and bring something (chips, soda, etc.), what is the rule of etiquette about taking it home when you leave? – PRACTICAL IN IDAHO DEAR PRACTICAL: When someone brings food to a party, it could be considered a host/hostess gift. Before taking any of it home, first ask your host or hostess if it would be all right. While some people wouldn’t mind, others may, so you shouldn’t assume that because you brought something that the leftovers are yours. *** DEAR ABBY: In the beginning of our marriage, there was physical abuse and marital rape. I stayed anyway. Over the years, we had two children. My husband, “Seth,” and I don’t communicate because he has refused to talk about any issues we have. During the last few years, my youngest son has also become physically abusive to me.

last December when, because I had a heart attack, I finally moved in with family. I did it for the sake of my health and my sanity. Seth now wants to talk about our issues. He suggested that I come back home. He has several medical problems, so I was taking care of all the household chores and working two jobs. My children will not help with the chores unless I scream and yell for hours. I no longer love my husband. He wants to romance me and try to make me love him again. He is also very controlling. He feels I “owe” him a chance to prove that he loves me and can change. Am I wrong for leaving and letting go? I’m very confused. – LETTING GO IN FLORIDA DEAR LETTING GO: You owe this man absolutely nothing! If you allow Seth the chance to romance you into coming back to take care of him, you will wind up exactly where you started. Your son abuses you because that is what he saw his father doing – and you allowed it. If you stand your ground now, it will show your son that abuse is not to be tolerated. I hope you will teach him that lesson because it is an important one for him to learn. *** DEAR ABBY: Do you field more questions from unmarried couples living together than from married couples? I can only judge from what is printed. – INQUISITIVE IN VIRGINIA DEAR INQUISITIVE: That’s an interesting question. Frankly, I have never broken down the letters into categories like “married” or “cohabiting.” Many people live together before marriage today but eventually progress to formalizing their relationship. Others do not. Married or not, their relationship questions interest me, or I wouldn’t print them. *** Dear Abby is written by Abigail Van Buren, also known as Jeanne Phillips, and was founded by her mother, Pauline Phillips.

PUZZLES

pets of the week Jade is a 1-year-old loving, active cat who came to the Kentucky Humane Society when the resident cat refused to accept her into the family. Jade is a beautiful girl who had been found as a stray but has no desire to be outside anymore. She’s finished with the wild life and wants nothing more than a warm lap to sleep on and someone to pet her and let her know she is part of the family. Her former owner says that Jade hates to be alone and will want to be with you when you are home. Are you looking for a sweet cat who will give you all the love you need? Then come meet Jade. She’s spayed, micro-chipped and up to date on her vaccinations. She’s waiting for you at our adoption center in the Fern Creek Feeders Supply, 6820 Bardstown Road. Are you looking for a sweet, independent friend to keep you company? Well then you’ve come to the right place! Doug is a 3-year-old Coonhound mix with a happy, docile temperament looking for a special family to love. He came to the Kentucky Humane Society from an overcrowded, rural shelter back in October and has been searching for his forever home since. The staff thinks Doug is one of the most laid-back Coonhounds they have met. He loves the great outdoors and taking walks, but at the end of the day, he’s ready to sit next to you for a long nap. Could you be the right one for Doug? He’s neutered, micro-chipped and up to date on all vaccinations. Come meet him at the adoption center in the Dixie Feeders Supply, 10948 Dixie Highway. For more on any of our adoptable pets, please call 502.366.3355 or visit kyhumane.org
