It wasn’t until an hour before the scheduled photo shoot for this week’s feature story on Animal Care Society’s Benefit Bash that I started to mildly panic. I had naively and casually instructed the participants, “Bring your pets…it’ll be fun!” It was too late to change course when I realized that this could be a fur-flying disaster. I’m relieved to report that was not the case. As you can see, they all came ready for their close up and stole the show as animals often do. Sure, the lone cat had a few cat moments, but settled in to relative compliance quickly. My cat would have climbed me like a tree, claws and all, had I tried to involve her in a photo with three dogs, so I was impressed with any behavior that didn’t result in bloodshed. This week’s undisputed bravery award definitely goes to Johnna Kelly for pulling off this photo shoot with her “failed feline foster” with grace, a smile and injury-free. I think it is the hilarious absurdity and mulish obstinance of cats that solidifies me firmly in the “cat person” camp, the very reasons others are not feline fans. This week’s profile on successful developer Walt Wagner and his cat Cappy delighted me in his unabashed embrace of all his cat’s quirks. You can read all about Walt and Cappy’s serendipitous introduction, adventurous travels and their plans for a big celebration this year. Whether you are a dog or a cat person, a Cats or a Cards fan, we can all agree on the noble cause of protecting the voiceless and vulnerable. The Animal Care Society’s dedication to Tonya Abeln compassion, integrity and dignity for all people and animals is a mission every animal-lover ought to support. Read this week’s feature story to find out how you can. Meanwhile, Derby is starting to creep into our content with an informative article from the Speed Art Museum on tips for throwing the perfect Derby party. This week’s Voice of Style is dedicated to eye-catching items to incorporate into any Derby dinner or brunch. Like any good hostess, we are ready to open wide the doors to spring and invite her to stay for a spell. This week is merely a teaser. Look for our Voice of Louisville Derby Preview to hit stands next week. I can’t wait to share the season with you.

Giving a Voice to the Voiceless ANIMAL CARE SOCIETY HOSTS THIRD ANNUAL BENEFIT BASH PRESENTED BY PLANET FITNESS

By Remy Sisk Photos by Ryan Noltemeyer

n March 25, it’s all about the animals. That’s when the Animal Care Society (ACS) will be hosting its third annual Benefit Bash presented by Planet Fitness. Proceeds from the event will be benefiting the operation and sustainability of the Animal Care Society, which is Louisville’s first no-kill shelter. The four co-chairs of the event have been ardently working on this year’s bash for nine or 10 months, and thanks to their passion, skill and dedication, it’s sure to be the best iteration of the event yet. Kate Hendon, Josh Laughlin, Matthew Porter and Johnna Kelly may have a myriad of links between them, but there is one common thread that has united the quartet in their work for the Animal Care Society: a true commitment to the cause. All four of them have their own, unique experiences adopting pets, and, as Hendon puts it, that is partially what brought the four – all of whom have worked on this event in the past in some capacity – together. “I guess it really just started with some of the committee members and some of the other chairs here being involved through the shelter through volunteer and board work and really seeing the beginning parts of the benefit – this is only

the third year – and seeing the opportunity to get the minds together and continue through it for many years to come,” she describes. “And that’s how we as a group connected because we’ve all been involved in animal rescue on some level for at least a decade.” The ACS, founded in 1984, is the city’s first no-kill shelter, which means that it never gives up on its animals; it constantly works to match each and every one with a forever home. Over just the last 10 years, the ACS has placed over 8,000 pets in loving, caring and safe homes, and according to Porter, “It’s fundraisers like these that really keep everything going. And the Benefit Bash is the largest one we put on every year.” The event itself will take place March 25 at the Mellwood Arts & Entertainment Center from 6 to 11 p.m., and Hendon ensures it will be an absolutely marvelous time. “We have not only an amazing dinner provided but also a complimentary bar with spirits from Tito’s and Four Roses with signature cocktails they’re going to create specifically for us,” she relates. “We’re going to have a DJ present – Derby City Diva – and we’re also going to have not just an amazing silent auction but also opportunities to donate directly to the shelter if an actual item is not your

jive. We have an amazing trip to Tuscany that we’re going to be auctioning off that we’re really excited about and just opportunities to pick up other items here and there that you may not find anywhere else. And it’s going directly to the animals.” Hendon goes on to detail the significance of these funds in the lives of these animals. Because ACS is no-kill, it can sometimes be a very expensive process to revive an injured or sick animal, but with events like the Benefit Bash, this kind of work is possible every day. “Some of the animals – whether they’re puppies or kittens or adult dogs – they come and they have serious medical conditions,” she says. “And because it’s a no-kill shelter … it can take a lot of time and resources to rehab these animals and prepare them to go to their forever home. Not only is [the fundraising] just for the upkeep of building and staff – which is mostly made of volunteers – it’s mostly to be sure these animals are as healthy and prepared to go home as they can be.” Laughlin echoes how critical the funds raised from the Benefit Bash are to the ACS. “I think it’s extremely important,” he maintains. “We’re a very grassroots organization, the first no-kill shelter in Jefferson County, and this event is so important because we do whatever

“My cat Griffin is what you call a ‘foster failure.’ I foster kittens for Metro Animal Services, and he was probably my second batch of kittens. I took him back when they went to get spayed and neutered, and I went back to check on him and I couldn’t leave him. So he came home with me. That was five years ago.” — Johnna Kelly and Griffin

we can to save any animal that we have. It’s not even animals that are dropped off at the shelter – we go throughout the state and rescue other animals. So while we might have some pushback on our budget for the benefit, when it comes to each individual animal, no way. No matter what it costs, we’re going to do

whatever it takes to save each animal and also to find their forever home. It’s not an easy process for you to adopt an animal through the Animal Care Society because we want to make sure it’s the right fit. We want them to be in a great, safe, fun warm family home.” If you think you could provide just the

sort of home the animals at the ACS are looking for, attending the Benefit Bash will be a great first step. Not only will you enjoy the incredible food and singular cocktails, but you will also have the opportunity to learn about the ACS adoption process and even see some photos of the adoptable animals. And

“As soon as I moved back from New York City, I knew that I wanted a dog and was going to rescue a dog, and I rescued him from the Jefferson County Shelter in Madison, Indiana. And he was the first litter that I went up to, and he pummeled over the other dogs to come up to me – he was the only one I played with. And he’s been the best friend, amazing companion ever since then. He’s 7 and a half years old now.” — Josh Laughlin and Rocco

“We decided we wanted to look for a third dog and we went around to all the shelters and found this little guy at Metro. And he has something of a sad story. He was abandoned in a backyard and not cared for. He came up to the glass and put his paw up as soon as we walked by. He had limited time – about three days left – but here we are three years later.” — Matthew Porter and Percy

“We own some property in Shelby Park and he was abandoned in a yard of our neighbor. And we took him in and I was convinced we were going to get him healthy, work with one of the local rescues I do work with and find him a new home, and less than a week in, I said, ‘He’s not going anywhere. This is his home.’ Five years later, he’s now our little boy’s best friend and just the sweetest companion to our family.” — Kate Hendon and Francis

if you see a puppy, a kitten or an adult dog or cat that you would love to welcome into your home, you can plan your shelter visit to meet them in person. While you’re there, you can learn even more about what the ACS does on a daily basis. With an executive director like Bunny Zeller, who Laughlin says “would jump in front of a bus to save an animal,” you can be assured that the ACS is more steadfast than ever in its endeavors to place animals in loving homes. It works tirelessly year-round to accomplish this goal, and it simply couldn’t happen without the Benefit Bash. So on March 25, enjoy the drinks, enjoy the food, enjoy the dancing, but also keep in mind that your ticket money is going toward saving animals’ lives and helping them find their forever homes. Tickets are $100 in advance and are available at animalcaresocietybenefitbash.com, where you can learn more about how this event and others like it so importantly help those who simply cannot help themselves. “I think this event is about giving a voice to the voiceless,” Porter emphasizes. “Because we have to take care of them and then they in turn take care of us. They are the voiceless and we have to speak for them.” VT

Happy Cappy By Tonya Abeln

t has been said when rescuing an animal, that ultimately, it is the animal that rescued the human. Walt Wagner would agree. It was the least of his intentions when he stumbled upon a small adoption fair by Woodstock Humane Society with friend Jody Zimmerman, but fate and spontaneity brought the two together. It’s very likely you know or at least recognize the name of Walter Wagner, Jr. from his storied and successful career in commercial real estate. When he opened his first company in 1959, he brokered the land lease with his first major client who developed Mall St. Matthews, the first fully enclosed mall in Kentucky, and acted as the leasing agent for the mall. Over the course of the next few decades, his recognizable client roster expanded to include names like Kroger and Kentucky Fried Chicken. The Walter Wagner Co., LLC celebrates 57 years in business this year and includes a thriving property management business, overseeing the leasing and management of office buildings, retail centers and industrial properties for clients. Walt is used to taking risks when it comes to business that usually pay off, but when Jody suggested he adopt the friendly tan and white cat that playfully approached him that day, the proposition was met with studied hesitation. He had not had a pet since his children had lived at home and had never entertained the idea of welcoming another into his home. “Cappuccino” they called him for his coloring, and there was something about him that Walt could not resist. After signing the contract and honoring the mandatory waiting period, “Cappy” came home to Walt’s residence, now dubbed “Chez Cappy” signifying just how comfortable he has made himself in that home. Walt is full of humorous anecdotes regarding Cappy’s charmed life since coming to live with him: “Some people say it is nice for me to let Cappy rest on the dining room table while I eat. That’s not exactly right. It is kind of Cappy to let me share his table while he is resting!” To hear Walt share stories about Cappy is to hear a voice filled with pride, unending amusement and sincere love. While they

do spend half of the year together at Chez Cappy, the cat accompanies Walt the remainder of the year to his winter home in Sarasota, Florida. Though he doesn’t enjoy the same freedom to go in and out as he pleases like he does in Kentucky due to the busy highway by the beach, Cappy does get his daily dose of the warm sun. “I have trained him to walk on a leash,” Walt shares, explaining that the special cat’s personality is almost more like a dog than a typical cat. “We get a lot of stares walking around with that leash,” he continues with a laugh. To commemorate the honored and elevated status of Cappucino in Walt’s home, his friend Jody, credited for encouraging the adoption in the first place, commissioned artist Steve Sawyer from Versailles, Kentucky, to paint a regal portrait of Cappy. In fact, Walt is working with the “Art 4 God” artist on another special commission to commemorate an important upcoming occasion. Walt

will celebrate his 85th birthday this June with a festive affair following a noon Mass at the Cathedral of the Assumption led by his son, Father Walter. In an invitation signed Cappy Wagner, guests are invited to enjoy a cocktail buffet at Chez Cappy before seeing the new portrait unveiled at 7 p.m. “Now,” the invitation concludes, “it is time for my catnap!” Winters in Florida, portrait sessions with famed artists, his own entertainment budget—what good fortune for Cappy that Walt Wagner happened into that adoption fair, though I’m sure Walt would claim the good fortune as his. It really is no wonder that they call him “Happy Cappy.” VT

ARTESANO VINO TAPAS Y MÁS ADDS LATIN DISHES, MUSIC NIGHTS Louisville Chef Fernando Martinez last week announced a new spring menu at his Ole Restaurant Group’s Westport Village restaurant, Artesano Vino Tapas y Mas. Martinez is marrying Iberian recipes with fresh, locally-grown spring ingredients, as well as adding an array of Latin American dishes that are inspired by his experiences working and traveling throughout Central and South America. “Executive Chef Mark Ford and I worked hard on the new menu,” said the Food Network-featured chef, Fernando Martinez. “Several years ago, after we sold Havana Rumba and Mojitos, my wife Cristina and I spent some time living and cooking in her native Venezuela. We also traveled extensively throughout the region and you will see Venezuela, Peru, Argentina, and a bit of my Cuban background in the new menu.” Wednesdays are now a night of wine and music, with half-priced bottles glasses from 4 p.m. to 6 p.m. at the casual and authentic Spanish tapas and Latin restaurant. Cuban singer-songwriter Dayron Reyes and his band A-corde play lively vallenato meringue, salsa, and other Latin American music to life each week on Wed. and Thurs. from 6:30 p.m. to 9 p.m. The new menu now includes nine gluten-free dishes like salmon quinoa, plantain mushroom empanadas and sofrito calamari with gluten-free flour, and the crunchy Cubana salad. BOYS & GIRLS CLUBS OF KENTUCKIANA PARTNERS WITH JCPS TO EXPAND SERVICES TO REACH MORE YOUTH The Boys & Girls Clubs of Kentuckiana (BGCK) is launching a new partnership with Jefferson County Public Schools (JCPS) that will expand the organization’s out-of-school-time services into area public schools. The expansion into JCPS will begin with the opening of BGCK’s first school-based Club within Frost-Stuart Middle School on Tuesday, March 14. The Frost-Stuart Club, located at 4601 Valley Station Road, will be open four days a week, Monday through Thursday from 2:30 to 6 p.m., now through the end of the school year. Plans are in place to continue operating the Club at Frost-Stuart middle school through the upcoming 2017/2018 school year. All children in the community grades six through eight are eligible to enroll as Club members by completing an application in person at the Club or online. All membership fees have been waived for youth attending the Club. BGCK will offer programming aligned with three priority outcome areas: Academic Success, Good Character & Leadership, and Healthy Lifestyles. Club members will be provided access to the school’s classrooms, gym, library and computer lab, as well as an after-school snack. Boys & Girls Clubs across the country have experienced significant growth and positive impact within the school settings, particularly in the middle schools. The partnership between the schools and the Clubs helps to provide youth with additional services supporting their academic success. Dr. Donna Hargens, JCPS Superintendent remarks, “JCPS is excited to partner with the Boys & Girls Clubs of Kentuckiana, creating opportunities for our students to not only build on what they’ve learned during the day, but to make that learning fun, intentional and relevant.” AWARD-WINNING AUTHOR’S BOOKS REISSUED When Kentucky Poet Laureate Frank X Walker coined the term “Affrilachia” in the early 1990s, he and a group of like-minded writers founded the Affrilachian Poets to challenge the perception of a racially homogenous Appalachia and to highlight the under-represented presence of African Americans in the mountain South. Among that group was Crystal Wilkinson, whose love and fond regard for the land and people of this region is evident in all of her work. When her first short-story

Her success continued with her subsequent story collection “Water Street,” which was a finalist for both the Hurston-Wright Legacy Award and the Orange Prize for Fiction, now The Baileys Women’s Prize for Fiction. Her newest work, “The Birds of Opulence,” was released in 2016 to broad acclaim and was named the winner of the Ernest J. Gaines Award for Literary Excellence.

and explore the world of Panem as created in the films. More than 1,000 authentic costumes and props, high-tech and handson interactives and detailed set recreations reveal the amazing artistry and technology that brought the incredible story to life. Visitors follow Katniss Everdeen’s inspirational journey, from her humble beginnings in District 12 to her emergence as the Mockingjay. The exhibition features seven galleries including District 12, Tribute Train, The Capitol, Making the Games, District 13, Fan Gallery and Katniss’s Journey.

In the wake of the success of her newest book, University Press of Kentucky has reissued Wilkinson’s previous short story collections in new, widely-available paperback editions. “Blackberries, Blackberries” includes a new foreword by National Book Award winner Nikky Finney and a new afterword by acclaimed author Honorée Jeffers, and Water Street has a new foreword by Jacinda Townsend and new afterword by Marianne Worthington. Deeply informed by the author’s own experiences growing up as a young black girl on her grandparents’ tobacco farm in Indian Creek, Wilkinson’s writing simultaneously crafts a series of intensely human portraits and creates a monument to the unique black experience of the Appalachian region. As Townsend says in the foreword to “Water Street,”“I, too, could lay claim to having been represented on the page: in the grand ballroom of literature, I could, as a Black Kentuckian, claim to exist.”

Highlights include iconic costumes from the films, such as the Girl on Fire dress, the Mockingjay dress and the Mockingjay armor; key artifacts including the Mockingjay pin, Cinna’s sketchbook and Katniss’s bow; and interactives, including an exploratory map of Panem, a gamemaker’s control table, and a stunt choreography interactive.

Lawrence Askew Warner

Larry Warner was the first of three sons born to Mabel Askew and Lawrence Glover Warner in Vicksburg, Mississippi, on September 30, 1933. Larry spent his childhood in Vicksburg and his summers in Sandy Hook, Connecticut, with his grandmother and extended family. Larry graduated from Woodberry Forest School in Virginia in 1952, where he was a prefect and lettered in wrestling and football. Larry loved Woodberry. He taught there briefly following college and maintained Woodberry friendships throughout his life. Larry graduated from the University of Virginia in 1956, where he was a member of St. Anthony Hall

(Delta Psi) and “Grand Banana” of the Eli Banana Ribbon Society. He attended his 60th reunion in 2016. Larry graduated from the University of Virginia Law School in 1959. He married Mary Stoll of Louisville, Kentucky, with whom he had three daughters: Stuart, Ann and Polly. That marriage ended in divorce.. In 1974, Larry married Cappy Wales, of Bronxville, New York, and became a father to Cappy’s sons: Whit, Bob and Sid Wales. Larry began his career at Citizens Fidelity Bank and Trust Company of Louisville, before joining First Kentucky Trust Company, where he became president. Larry was active in the community, serving on the Boards of the Louisville Zoo, St. Francis School in Goshen, The Louisville Country Club, The River Valley Club, The Louisville Free Public Library, Actors’ Theatre of Louisville and Planned Parenthood. Larry loved golf and paddle tennis. He liked lunchtime backgammon games at the Wynn Stay Club. Larry was an extraordinary cook. He and Cappy enjoyed spending their summers in Little Compton, Rhode Island and Stowe, Vermont. And, wherever he was, whenever there was music, Larry loved to dance. Following his retirement from First Kentucky Trust, Larry and Cappy became residents of Boca Grande, Florida. Larry continued to enjoy golf and rediscovered his passion for bridge. He was a member of St. Andrew’s Episcopal Church, where Cappy served as Assistant Rector. He was also a member of GICIA and other local organizations. Larry is survived by Cappy, his younger brother, Chick Warner, all six of his children as well as twelve grandchildren and three great-grandchildren. First and foremost, Larry will be remembered for his buoyant energy and jovial nature, his love and appreciation of good conversation with family and friends. A service for Larry will held at St. Andrews Episcopal Church in Boca Grande on March 18th at 2 p.m. with a reception to follow. In lieu of flowers, contributions in Larry’s memory may be made to St. Luke’s Chapel, Attn: The Reverend Lisa Tolliver, 7540 Westport Road, Louisville, Kentucky 40222, or St. Andrew’s Legacy Fund, P.O.

I think everyone can agree that 12 months ago, watching an NCAA tournament sans Louisville felt much different than it had in years past. For the same reason, watching the Cardinals play in the tournament a year later is also going to feel like something of an original experience. Earning a No. 2 seed when the common thought was that you were going to be a No. 3? Cool. Getting to play your first two games of the tournament close by in Indianapolis? Awesome. Getting what appears to be a somewhat manageable draw? Swell. All of this minutiae that would have Louisville fans howling in past seasons has taken a back seat to the mere fact that the Cardinals are simply playing in the tournament again. Christmas in March has returned to the Derby City a year after flying right over it, and that makes the opening of every single present that much more of a rewarding experience than it would have been otherwise. This sort of talk might seem crazy to an outsider, but there’s little about Louisville’s relationship with college basketball that makes much sense to the rest of the country. Earlier this month, The Wall Street Journal named Louisville as the unofficial “college basketball capital of the world.” The title wasn’t assigned because of the Cardinals’ overwhelming success in recent seasons under Pitino, it was given because Louisvillians watch more hoops than any other city in America ... by a lot.

boro -- finished with a 2.0 or better. Basically, Louisvillians will obviously support their local teams, but they also care more about college basketball in general than any other place on the planet. We love the game 12 months out of the year, every year, but we really love it in March, in large part because it lays claim

to the best postseason in American sports. Regardless of what you’ve achieved or haven’t achieved over the course of the previous four months, you get the opportunity to play until you lose. In that way, it’s easy to make the case that college basketball is the most Democratic sport that America boasts. This time of year is so special in the city because it represents the endless possibilities of the weeks ahead. The bracket has been filled in with 68 names, but it’s still blank outside of the first round games. The thought of being able to write “Louisville” five more times between now and the first Monday of April is what drives the excitement of this moment. Just a year after having to endure the harsh reality of one of the most negative sagas to ever affect any Louisville sport, Cardinal basketball is dancing again. No one knows what the weeks ahead hold. It could be disappointment, it could be merely meeting expectations, or it could be the ultimate redemption story for all who are still feeling the lasting impact of 2016. Dreaming about the possibilities is the beauty of March, and despite the unseasonal weather, March is beautiful again in Louisville. VT

St. Patrick’s Parade In one of Louisville’s greatest March traditions, the Ancient Order of Hibernians (AOH) hosted the annual parade wtih a theme of “One United Ireland.” As many as 150 units stepped off at Baxter and Broadway at 3 p.m. on Saturday, March 11. The cool temperatures didn’t stop the estimated 100,000 people from watching what is often referred to as the “people’s” parade. A traditional Irish breakfast followed by a Noon Mass kicked off the time-honored celebration.

Australian Adventure

ur Cruise on the Regent Seven Seas Navigator continued as we reached BrisPartyline bane, Australia on the eastern coast CARLA SUE of the continent. BROECKER We left the ship and toured the city with a population of 3 million on double decker boats in the bay. It is a lovely place to live or visit. In some respects, it is rather like a Venice with skyscrapers.

We boarded old fashioned tour boats and were served a seated luncheon as we sailed the residential canals. Vocalists entertained us after lunch as we sailed along. After touring Brisbane we boarded our “mother ship” and settled in for two days of imported entertainers, cards, games, lectures, sitting by the pool and reading. Not to mention having delicious meals served by nice, sweet servers who cannot do enough for us. One morning we had a breakfast party. Husband Brad went to the head chef and told him about southern sausage gravy and homemade biscuits. The chef was intrigued by the idea and agreed to prepare it for our crowd, most of whom are Yankees and had no clue. Well, it was a rip-roaring success! Even the waiters wanted servings and loved it. In the evenings we had really good entertainers in the theater after dinner. An all Australian group called “The Tap Pack” had the audience on its feet after the first number. Another night a pianist/comedian from Texas by way of Brisbane wowed us with his musical magic and his “slow draw” Texas humor. His appearance was one of a prosperous undertaker with a paunch, dressed all in black with black crocodile boots. We arrived in Cairns, Australia on a hot day that was close to the end of their summer. Cairns (pronounced “cans”) is a major city on the east coast of Far North Queensland. It was founded in 1876 to serve miners heading for the Hodgkinson River goldfields. It is a popular

tourist destination because of its tropical climate and access to the Great Barrier Reef, one of the seven natural wonders of the world. The estimated population is 150,000. The Cairns area was inhabited by the Gimuy Walubara Yidini indigenous people who still claim their Native Title rights. It was founded in 1876, hastened by the need to export gold discovered on the tablelands to the west of the inlet. The site was mostly mangrove swamps and sand ridges. The swamps were gradually cleared and the sand ridges were filled with dried mud, sawdust from local sawmills, and ballast from a quarry. Debris from the construction of a railway to Herberton on the Atherton Tableland, a project which started in 1886, was also used. During WWII, the Allied Forces operated basses (now the airport), including a major military seaplane base on Trinity Inlet, and US Navy and Royal Australian Navy bases near the current wharf. Combat missions were flown out of Cairns in support of the Battle of the Coral Sea in1942. After WWII, Cairns gradually developed into a center for tourism. The opening of

the Cairns International Airport in 1984 helped establish the city as a desirable destination for international tourism. Enough history. We went out in the country and took a five kilometer sky lift up to a craft village in the hills. The lift was awesome. The crafts were not as wonderful as on our last visit. I think we are getting jaded! We settled for a cold Coke and sat on a stone wall in the shade till it was time to head “home.” The next day we sailed into Cooktown Harbor, tendered in and looked around. It is in the “Shire of Cook.” It has a population of about 2300 and is where James Cook beached his boat “The Endeavor” for repairs in 1770. Cooktown was founded in 1873 as a supply port for the goldfields along the Palmer River. We toured the mangrove in a small open boat operated by a charming husband/wife team. He described the surroundings and she served coffee and tea along with the “Icelandic donuts” she continued to freshly fry and sprinkle with powdered sugar just before serving. We then had two wonderful, quiet days cruising the Arafura Sea. We passed several

big (half mile?) islands that showed little habitation. What sort of people would live on them out in the middle of the ocean? We are talking half mile long islands! We saw no boats docked on our side of the islands. Later we learned that they were uninhabited because they had no fresh water! After lunch on the first sea day, our ship had a big “country fair” around the pool with all sorts of carnival games. Silly games such as being able to walk across the outside deck with a full cocktail glass and not spill a drop, identify photos of iconic structures from around the world and identify the country, volleyball in the pool and so on. There was something for everyone. Prize points were awarded to winners. Most of the “Geritol set” got into it and they were aggressive!

nearing the end of their summer which is November to April. We started out at their new natural history museum and it was very interesting. Then after lunch we hit the souvenir center on the dock. It was full of crocodile belts, handbags and wallets and lots of opal jewelry. The prices were astronomical compared to a few years ago. Bought nothing! I was disappointed and Brad was relieved! One interesting piece of trivia: There is a memorial, a plane from the Korean War, in one of the parks. One of our friends, Rick Weiler, aboard ship flew that very plane in the war. He had recognized the ID number on the tail the last time he and his wife sailed here! On the Esplanade overlooking Darwin Harbor is a memorial dedicated to the Officers and Crew of the USS Peary, which was attacked and sunk during the first air attack on Darwin by the Japanese during WWII.

They thought the approaching planes were a storm approaching from the south, instead it was the Japanese. They suffered great damage and loss of life. There were “pill boxes” around Darwin Harbor and two guns to repel the Japanese. One of the guns salvaged from the vessel now serves as a memorial to all those lost in the action. The swampy mangrove groves look like solid land but are liquid. On land the houses are raised about five feet because of prevalence of termites who eat grass and wood. It was soon time to leave Darwin taking with us the wonderful memories of this lovely “island continent.” We are looking forward to being back here next year, but also know that our next two stops are tremendously exotic. The first will be Komodo Island in Indonesia where we will see their famous “dragons” close up. Then it will be on to Bali where we will have an overnight. VT

SPOTLIGHT

Fillies Derby Ball

On April 8, one of the most celebrated events of the Kentucky Derby Festival will take place at the Louisville Marriott Downtown. The Fillies Derby Ball is always a marvelous evening, thanks especially to the exciting Coronation of the Queen. To learn more about this year’s event, we spoke with Fillies President Kathy Bingham, Ball Chairperson Susan Moore and Fillies Publicity Chairperson Kristen Miller. What is the Fillies Derby Ball? The Fillies Derby Ball is the gala kickoff to the Kentucky Derby Festival season. This long-standing black-tie ball is a Louisville tradition – this year’s iteration is the 59th Fillies Derby Ball – and serves as the largest single fundraiser for the Kentucky Derby Festival Foundation. The history of the Ball stretches back to 1959 when 17 local women formed “The Fillies Club” to help the Kentucky Derby Festival Committee produce an elegant ball, during which a Derby Court would be introduced to the community and one member would be selected as the Derby Queen. The event has seen many changes over the years, but almost six decades later, it’s still going strong – and still producing KDF royalty each and every spring! What can guests expect at the event? Guests can expect an evening of royal treatment filled with music, food, fun and dancing, along with the crowning of the Royal Court. Our mistress of ceremonies will be Vicki Dortch from WLKY. This year, we have a lot of surprises planned, including an artist who’ll be painting a scene of the Ball in real time, a special celebrity appearance from Monte Durham of TLC’s “Say Yes to the Dress,” silent and live auctions, sweet treats and musical entertainment from The Sensations. The highlight of the Fillies Derby Ball is the Coronation of the Derby Queen, who is selected from our group of Derby Princesses by the traditional spin of the wheel. The Queen and her Court will serve as our community’s ambassadors, reigning over Derby Festival events all the way through the first Saturday in May. In her first royal act, the Queen will honor three new Knights and Dames – individuals

who have distinguished themselves through their support of our community, charitable or civic affairs or the Kentucky Derby Festival. Why is the event important for the Fillies and the greater community? The Fillies Derby Ball serves as the largest annual fundraiser of the Kentucky Derby Festival Foundation (KDFF). Created in 1998, the KDFF has contributed over $1 million to local nonprofits and charities such as Metro United Way’s Success by 6, the Crusade for Children, the Derek Anderson Foundation, Music Theatre Louisville, Police Youth Activities League, Alzheimer’s Association, Every1Reads, American Red Cross and the Presbyterian Community Center. KDFF also supports artistic and scientific education for our community’s youth through underwriting events such as the Student Art Contest, the Academic Challenge and RoboRumble Robotic Tournament. Beyond that, our Ball is the kickoff to a festival that brings our entire community together – and brings people from all over the world to see what Louisville and Southern Indiana have to offer. Anyone who loves the Kentucky Derby and the Derby Festival has to come to the Fillies Derby Ball at least once – it’s a spring tradition and the only way to kick off Derby Festival season! How has the event grown over the years? Adding the partnership with KDFF has made the Derby Ball even more relevant than it was when it originated as an elegant way to start off the Kentucky Derby Festival. Everyone who attends is not only participating in one of Louisville’s grandest traditions, but they are directly supporting the charitable organizations that

make our community so special. Through this partnership, this event has really become Louisville’s ball – chances are, any organization close to your heart has been supported at some point by the Fillies Derby Ball through our partnership with KDFF. How do you hope the event changes in years to come? We look forward to watching it grow. The best way to ensure those deserving community groups get the funding they need is to make this Ball bigger and better every year, so that’s always our goal. And we are also always on the lookout for new ways to entertain our guests. We know people look forward to the Fillies Derby Ball every spring, and we never want to disappoint! But one thing will never change – by the end of that evening, some lucky young woman will leave the Ball as the official Derby Queen, and she’ll have no idea what kind of adventures are ahead of her! Is it too late to get tickets? This year’s Fillies Derby Ball will be Saturday, April 8, 2017, at the Louisville Marriott Downtown. The cocktail reception starts at 6:30 p.m., and the Coronation of the Queen will be at 7:30 p.m. Dinner follows at 8 p.m. followed by dancing until 1 a.m. It is NOT too late to get tickets! They are $175 each, and VIP tables are also available for $2,500. Call 502.572.3856 or go online to kdf.org. VT Fillies Derby Ball April 8 Louisville Marriott Downtown $175 kdf.org

Metamorphosis By Tonya Abeln

he Pointe in Butchertown was abuzz with the most glamorous style of organized chaos. The trendy crowd in no less than four inch heels (often higher) walked quickly to a destination of nowhere stepping to the syncopated rhythm of music. The flow of foot traffic settled into a consistent pattern thanks to “traffic controller” Chris Kaufman, Runway and Placement Director for Heyman Talent. Kaufman is most often referred to as “The Motivator,” because, while this may just be one of a series of rehearsals for the Kentucky Derby Festival Spring Fashion Show, he is determined not to let anyone merely “dial it in.” With a show of this magnitude, every minute of rehearsal time counts and he’s an expert of keeping everyone on task. If you thought the KDF Fashion Show was just another Derby-season opportunity to see spring clothes walked down a runway, you couldn’t be more wrong. “It’s not just a runway show. It’s a spectacle,” Christine Fellingham agrees. Fellingham, a well-established fashion and style expert, is directing the show for her sixth year, and says that this year’s show with a theme of “Metamorphosis” promises to surprise, excite and delight. The annual KDF event, which truly serves as the kickoff to Derby fashion season, is consistently a sell-out — not a small undertaking considering that it is held in a massive ballroom at Horseshoe Southern Indiana. While most traditional runway shows are meant to be enjoyed on an intimate scale, the challenge of producing the KDF fashion show is that you must project and entertain a large crowd (a crowd that may be eating, socializing and cocktailing) for 60 whole minutes. So how does she captivate the attention of a crowd under these circumstances? “This year we are going to incorporate live performances throughout the night,” Fellingham shares. “We want to get people out of their seats and then leave them on their feet.” She also plans to utilize her professional background as a magazine editor

comes to acknowledging how challenging it can be to work that entire puzzle with the models and the participating boutiques all within a tight schedule and in accordance with the vision she is trying to present.” Fellingham is certainly up to the challenge. She says of the trends she will be looking for, while florals for spring may be nothing new, it is the mixing and matching of floral patterns that will keep things fresh this year. “I also really like the athleisure trend,” she reveals. “I think it is like an interpretation of a strong woman in terms of shapes and color. While I don’t predict anyone will be in bomber jackets and warmup pants for Derby, I do think some of those body conscious silhouettes will be present.” While reserved seating for the show is already sold out, Lounge Tickets can still be purchased for $35 which includes wine and appetizers and a fantastic elevated view of the entire runway production.

as a tool to engage the crowd. “My strategy is to turn this show into a living, breathing magazine. I try to tell stories in a way that brings the clothes to life and gets people excited about experimenting with clothes themselves.” The show is often compared to the ratings juggernaut Victoria Secret Fashion show because of its hour-long format. “When you think of an hour-long show on television, that’s really just 20 minutes of runway,” Fellingham points out. “This is 60 full minutes of true non-stop clothing. So, to make it feel more manageable, I break it into five scenes that are really like stories.” Part of the metamorphosis theme that the crowd will note is the inclusion of more age and size diversity in this model cast. Fellingham shares, “I wanted to work hard in casting this show with Heyman Talent to establish that we were representing all women.” Kathy Campbell, Director of Heyman Talent in Louisville, agrees that they have been making an effort to cultivate that inclusion within the agency as well. Now comes the unenviable task of selecting and fitting 140 looks for 28 models. Kathy Campbell says of that process, “Christine is extremely humble when it

The Time is Now for Derby Beauty By Graham Pilotte

ometime around St. Patrick’s Day, Louisville starts to look ahead to Derby. From hats and bow ties to sundresses and shorts, it’s time to bring in spring fashion and we all want to look our best to celebrate the most social time of year. If you’re feeling stuck on how to freshen up for spring, Dr. Bradley Calobrace is here to help.

Now in his twentieth year of practice, Dr. Calobrace is one of the most celebrated plastic surgeons in the nation. The Calobrace and Mizuguchi Plastic Surgery Center specializes in cutting-edge technologies to help patients look and feel their best. “St. Patrick’s Day will be my twentieth year of private practice in Louisville,” Dr. Calobrace explains with a smile. “I remember just moving here; I always consider myself a newcomer in Louisville. But now it’s twenty years later.” Both Dr. Calobrace’s plastic surgery center and CaloSpa, his medical rejuvenation center, feature a variety of treatments to reinvigorate patients. “People aren’t going to come get a facelift or other surgery for Derby,” Dr. Calobrace explains. “But they still want to get ready. We have all kinds M A R C H 1 6 , 2 0 1 7 • V O I C E -T R I B U N E . C O M

TVT.indd 44

of treatments, from Botox to fillers to lasers, that can make people look and feel refreshed before Derby.” Both facial and body treatments are popular. “Some patients really want to make their face look the best by adding Botox,” Dr. Calobrace asserts, “some want to add fillers, to add volume to the face and lips, which creates an anti-aging effect.” Other clients, however, have different priorities. “Some people choose to do laser treatments to help their complexion or pores, or even pigmentation,” Dr. Calobrace says, “and some are just going to have a facial. It’s a very busy time for us, for sure.” “Getting Derby-ready is a great motivator,” Dr. Calobrace says. “I always think of Derby as the time we start to do everything we’ve been putting off. You get the yard ready for summer, and you get the body ready for summer, too.” Of course, like any doctor, he knows that there aren’t shortcuts to real health. “Good nutrition, good health, diet – all those things go together,” Dr. Calobrace explains. However, his treatments are certainly a possible component of a healthy lifestyle, and he encourages a consultation for anyone considering exploring his treatment options. “What’s important is feeling confident and beautiful,” Dr. Calobrace asserts. And if you’re considering a treatment, you’ll want to go to the very best. “Experience trumps anything else, and we have twenty years of experience,” Dr. Calobrace

explains. Incredibly, he was one of a few pioneers who brought Botox to Louisville before it was even FDA-approved for cosmetic uses. “You can put a filler in somebody’s face and it doesn’t change the way they look if it’s not in the right location, and in the right way,” Dr. Calobrace says seriously. “You need the right hands.” He also practices what he preaches. “On me, personally, I was shocked – a younger, more rested me. I looked totally different,” he says. He recommends starting soon. “If you’re doing a series of treatments, you want to get going on that now rather than later,” Dr. Calobrace explains. “Going in a few days prior to Derby is not the time – we’ve got six to eight weeks right now to really get in and get therapy.” So if you’re considering a treatment, Dr. Calobrace encourages you to come in for a consultation. He says that many patients come to him because of word of mouth – watching the success stories of their friends. “Knowing it’s not surgery and it’s quick and highly effective — that’s what draws people in,” Dr. Calobrace explains. “And anything we can do to make people feel confident is worthwhile.” VT Calospa Rejuvenation Center 2341 Lime Kiln Lane 502.899.9979 calobrace.com PHOTO BY ZACH ERWIN

Avocados are a good source of potassium and vitamins C, K, folate and B6, and they are full of heart-healthy unsaturated fat. Kale is chock-full of antioxidants and surprisingly has a lot of fiber for a leafy green vegetable. Cacao nibs contain polyphenols, which may improve the health of your heart and brain arteries by serving as antioxidants and inhibiting blood platelets from forming a clot. If these health benefits aren’t enough to convince you to make this smoothie, the amazing flavor should be!

A Twist on Derby’s Classic Cocktail

ixologists from eight Louisville-area restaurants and bars competed in the 14th annual Four Roses Bourbon Rose Julep Contest on March 2. The contest was part of the Kentucky Derby Festival’s Festival Unveiled event at the Tim Faulkner Gallery. Each contestant created their own take on Derby’s classic cocktail: the mint julep. Each julep, made with Four Roses, was evaluated on taste, presentation and creativity by a panel of local celebrities and beverage industry judges. Guests at Festival Unveiled also had the opportunity to sample all eight Rose julep recipes and cast their own vote for the “People’s Choice” Rose Julep. While Colleen McCarthy-Clarke of Martini’s Italian Bistro won the People’s Choice Award with her “The Petal Pusher,” Mark Corley of The Silver Dollar won the Judges’ Award with his “Wild Wilda Mint Julep.”

Wild Wilda Mint Julep Mark Corley, The Silver Dollar Ingredients • 5-8 mint leaves • 1/8 oz. Tempus Fugit Creme de Menthe • 1/4 oz. Tempus Fugit Creme de Cacao • 1/4 oz. Cardinal Spirits Songbird coffee liqueur • 2 oz. Four Roses Single Barrel • Crushed ice • Andes chocolate mints, coffee grounds and mint sprig for garnish Instructions Rub 5-8 mint leaves on the inside of a silver julep cup, careful not to break any so it doesn’t release any bitter oils. Then, build the Creme de Menthe, Creme de Cacao, coffee liquer and bourbon in the cup. Give a quick stir, add a small scoop of crushed ice and then swizzle everything together. Fill the rest of the cup with crushed ice and create a nice cone on top. Place a sprig of mint next to the straws and a piece of mint chocolate on top. Dust with a little bit of coffee grounds on top.

Top Derby Party Tips With event maestros Evan McMahon and Sterling Franklin of the Speed Art Museum By Minda Honey

ith the Speed Art Museum Gala behind them, we asked event experts Evan McMahon and Sterling Franklin what it takes to pull off an event of that magnitude, and what tips they could share that would translate into throwing a Derby soiree big or small in your own home.

CREATE THE ULTIMATE TIMELINE: “It may seem pointless to take the time to write up a detailed timeline of your event because, let’s face it, something will end up changing in the moment, but having the event written out in front of you adds muchneeded guidance in case of hiccups along the way,” said Sterling Franklin, Special Events Coordinator at the Speed Art Museum. And, share that timeline with the others involved in planning the event. “If you and your team all have the same information in hand, it will keep you from answering 1,000 questions in one night,” added Franklin. USE TRUSTWORTHY AND RELIABLE VENDORS: When at all possible, form a relationship with the vendors you frequently use. “I can’t even count the amount of last minute phone calls and emails I have had to make to one of our vendors asking for an extra something,” said Evan McMahon, Special Events Coordinator at the Speed Art Museum. “Whether it be a flower arrangement, extra linens, more place settings or even chocolate candies in the shape of someone’s face — yes, this has happened — if you have a good working relationship with your vendors they will be more likely help out as needed.” KEEP YOUR SENSE OF HUMOR: Even something as ‘simple’ as an intimate luncheon involves multiple personalities and creative ideas. “Everyone has a vision,” said Franklin. “The most important part of an event planner’s job is to listen carefully and create that vision as realistically as possible.” That said, some ideas just aren’t practical and as event planning swirls, nerves, personalities and demands can clash. “It’s important to

M A R C H 1 6 , 2 0 1 7 • V O I C E -T R I B U N E . C O M

TVT.indd 50

be patient, yet firm, when conflicts arise, and remember that the end goal is a successful event for all. Tempers will flair and fade and building compromises often saves the day. That, and a smile, knowing, ‘this too shall pass,’” added Franklin. IT’S ALL ABOUT THE MUSIC: Whether it’s a small reception for 30 people or a 750-person Gala, you must have music. Music can set the mood, enhance a theme, or just plain entertain! Piped music is good in a pinch, especially with a well-crafted playlist, but live music is the best way to go. “Louisville has an incredibly rich, live music scene and you can find local groups/artists that can play just about any style or genre you need,” said McMahon. Whether it’s sophisticated jazz, soulful R&B, blues, funk, bluegrass, or rock, you’ll find a talented group of local musicians that can fit the bill. “And, don’t forget DJs,” said McMahon. “Louisville’s DJ scene is also incredibly diverse, with artists (and they are artists!) specializing in countless genres, subgenres, and sub-subgenres, each with their own unique style and mixing prowess.” LET THERE BE LIGHT: It might not be on the top of your event planning list, but don’t discount good lighting for your event. Whether you’re looking at scattered votive candles, knock-em-dead laser light shows or just proper lighting to read a menu or silent auction listing, good lighting is imperative. “Although most guests don’t notice when

it’s done well, they definitely know when it’s wrong,” said McMahon. “There is nothing worse than too much lighting, especially bright white light. No one wants to feel like they’re having a party in a hospital operating room. Keep it low, and maybe add some color. But, be careful with some colors – you don’t want guests looking like they’re suffering from jaundice.” BE READY FOR ANYTHING: It’s a law of nature. Something WILL go wrong. And, usually, it seems much worse in the moment. “Never say, ‘It will never happen,’ because it will,” said McMahon. Have a back-up plan and items to go with it; like umbrellas, a first-aid kit, a sewing kit, flashlights, and even tape and scissors. Some things, like inclement weather, power failures and the like, are out of your control, but keep in mind all the “what-ifs” and be ready to act swiftly and calmly. And, not all mistakes are game-changers. “Keep it in perspective, too,” added Franklin. “Will anyone other than you remember or notice that the napkins were Kelly green instead of mint? Probably not. Relax, all will be well.” DRINK COFFEE. WEAR COMFORTABLE SHOES. SAY PLEASE AND THANK YOU. SMILE WHEN IT’S THE LAST THING YOU WANT TO DO: Those are the cardinal rules of events. Memorize them and enjoy a fantastic event. VT

Secrets No More By Kate Weiss

ouisville native Kevin Gibson’s newest book, “Secret Louisville: A Guide to the Weird, Wonderful, and Obscure,” uncovers some real treasures and oddities in our city. If you’ve lived in Louisville long, you’ll probably recognize some of the nearly 100 sites he explores. Most folks know about places like the Crescent Hill Reservoir, but Gibson has new and fascinating facts and history – and a few ghost stories – to share about even these well-known locations.

Did you know that before the reservoir, gatehouse and Crescent Hill Filtration Plant, a glass of water from Louisville would have mud and other nasties in it as likely as not? Not only is the reservoir a nice location to take a walk, our local water company pioneered the researching and implementing of new methods of water filtration, making the city’s water safe for everyone. No Louisville guidebook would be complete without mentioning our legendary racetrack, but in the entry about Churchill Downs, Gibson writes, “the now-legendary track was a financial bust at first and changed ownership multiple times before it finally began to turn a profit in the early 1900s.” It’s interesting to think about what Louisville (and all those guidebooks) would be like were it not for Churchill Downs. Fortunately for us, and travel writers, the track survived. Not all the locations Gibson researched are as well known as the reservoir and Churchill Downs, however. Long-time residents and even natives of Louisville might never have heard of some of the places and events Gibson writes about, or if they have, have never taken the time to visit these secret spots for themselves. Apparently, there’s a second-generation shoe tree in Milltown, Indiana; Elvis’s grandfather was buried in the Louisville Memorial Gardens on Ballardville Road; you can visit Shippingport Island – there’s a small public park there overlooking the Falls of the Ohio; and “Happy Birthday” was first sung at the Little Loom House on Kenwood Hill in the South End near Iroquois Park. Those

are just a few of the dozens and dozens of entries that might surprise you to learn about. “Secret Louisville” gives small doses of history, fun and weirdness in a quirky guidebook style. Each entry is accompanied by a photo or two and an info box with the location, cost and a “Pro Tip” for visiting the site. Most of the locations are free or inexpensive. It might be fun to use “Secret Louisville” as an alternative guidebook or a scavenger hunt in your native city, visiting each site in the book and ticking off that entry as you travel around town. “Secret Louisville” would also be a great resource if you’re looking for some unusual places to bring outof-town guests. This guidebook could additionally be a nice way to do a little armchair traveling. And it’s easy to pick up a little Louisville (and Southern Indiana) history along the way. If you’ve ever wondered about why Mellow Mushroom in St. Matthews has a donut sign on their facade or how the Chicken Steps in Clifton might have gotten their name – and why those steps are there at all – you’ll want to grab a copy of “Secret Louisville” so you can find out. VT Kevin Gibson will be reading and answering questions at Carmichael’s on Frankfort Avenue March 23 and 7 p.m.

Southern Splendor By Sara Giza

ituated right in the middle of three of Norton Commons’ beautiful green spaces, sits an antebellum-inspired home with all of the charm of the South.

Sara and Tommy Floyd had already lived in the development and knew they wanted to stay there, so they purchased a lot and hired an architect to help design the home they had always envisioned. “It seemed that every home we had ever swooned over had a common aesthetic – white painted brick and black shutters. Those two design features were a must,” says Sara of her home, which was built in 2012. The 8,000-square-foot house features seven bedrooms and six and a half baths. Over the garage sits a carriage house complete with a kitchenette, bedroom and bathroom. The roof-top porch offers a great view of the neighborhood, along with two side porches for relaxing. The large front porch, lined with columns, offers a bit of Southern hospitality to guests.

“I think the most unique feature of our home is that it has all of the advantages of an old Southern plantation while also sitting right in the middle of the bustling neighborhood that we love so much,” Sara adds. The family enjoys being a short walk from restaurants, doctor offices, salons and shops. Sara particularly loves sharing her home with her family. “Our family is truly the heartbeat of the house, and the children inspire the life within it,” she says. Architecturally, she loves the combined

kitchen and hearth room. The large space works well for both daily life and entertaining. “The lofty archway separates the kitchen and living space while still allowing it to feel like one big room,” Sara relates, adding the foyer as one of her favorite spaces too. It provides a perfect formal greeting area. Impressively, Sara decorated the entire home herself. “I love stately home decor, beautifully dressed windows and beds. I like spaces that look somewhat formal but are actually quite livable,” she describes. As a novice seamstress, Sara has sewn many of the window treatments, bed skirts and throw pillows. “I am also very frugal, and doing it myself meant I could purchase the high-end fabric that I so loved without adding the labor or design costs.” The home’s color scheme is filled with neutrals or muted tones that can be timeless. As a photographer, Sara counts images of their children as her favorite pieces of art. Photographs adorn most of the walls, communicating what it most important to them: family. The main floor of the house was designed with a love of entertaining, in mind. According to Sara, they wanted the space to be comfortable for a large group to mingle. “The basement bar and poker room are also great areas for entertaining, especially for televised events like the Super Bowl or March Madness,” she says. They added a large playroom downstairs where the kids can play basketball or dodgeball – near the adults but not underfoot. “The basement/lower level is a true nod to my husband, his love of horse racing and the city of Louisville,” Floyd explains. “Everything from the bottles of bourbon, to the archways made from brick reclaimed from East Market Street tell the story of his hometown.” VT

Dad’s Dumpster-Diving Habit Causes His Family Concern

••• EAR ABBY: I have DEAR ABBY: My 9-year-old an issue with my daughter has several friends whom father and don’t we love and who are good budknow where to turn. Dad dies for her. However, the rules is in his early 80s and -in their homes are different from those at ours. One friend in paraside from poor eyesight Dear Abby ticular, “Sarah,” eats a lot of junk -- he’s in good health. I’m food and watches more TV than we concerned because he JEANNE allow. When my daughter asks why has developed an unusual she can’t have chips and ice cream PHILLIPS habit. He likes to look after school, or why we watch movies only on weekends, I remind her that good through the dumpsters behind the food and exercise make her healthy, and with grocery store.

Initially he told me it was to get old produce for compost in his garden. But I have learned that he eats some of the things he finds. I have tried telling him this is dangerous. He could cut himself digging through the trash or get food poisoning. He refuses to listen and insists that what he is doing is safe. (He is NOT forced to do this out of economic necessity. He has enough money to buy groceries.) The situation has become critical because he is now planning to cook something he found in the dumpster for a family gathering. I told him not to do it. If he does prepare food from the trash, I told him he must let people know where it came from, so they can make an informed decision about whether to eat it. Abby, please help. -- GROSSED OUT DEAR GROSSED OUT: If you can’t convince your father to disclose to relatives that the food he’s serving may have come from a dumpster, YOU should alert them to that possibility. P.S. A worldwide trend I heard about recently is something called “freeganism.” (The term is derived from a cross between “free” and “vegan.”) Freegans “rescue” food from behind markets to share among themselves to combat food waste, and in Paris, France, there’s even a restaurant that serves food procured this way for a reduced fee. Caveat emptor: People who consume this food should be aware that the food may be past its nutritional peak, and they may risk a food-borne illness if it wasn’t stored properly.

less TV she does better in school. I’m not interested in critiquing Sarah or her family, who are lovely people we really like. However, I do want to make the connection between unhealthy lifestyle choices and possible consequences because this is a subject we’ll keep revisiting as my daughter grows up. I have been trying to say things like, “Everyone makes their own decisions. This is why we do it this way,” but at 9, my daughter sees things as pretty black or white. If our way is right, then their way must be wrong. I’m totally failing at subtlety. Is there a better approach that I could take to talking about this without invoking comparisons? — LIFESTYLE CHOICES IN SOUTH DAKOTA DEAR LIFESTYLE CHOICES: Do not attempt to debate this with your 9-year-old. If your daughter argues with you about your parenting style, tell her that different families have different standards and that you are doing what you think is right for yours. Period. If she needs more of an explanation, then fall back on the message you have been sending her, and in time she will understand. ••• Dear Abby is written by Abigail Van Buren, also known as Jeanne Phillips, and was founded by her mother, Pauline Phillips. Contact Dear Abby at www.DearAbby.com or P.O. Box 69440, Los Angeles, CA 90069. ••• What teens need to know about sex, drugs, AIDS and getting along with peers and parents is in “What Every Teen Should Know.” Send your name and mailing address, plus check or money order for $7 (U.S. funds) to: Dear Abby, Teen Booklet, P.O.

PUZZLES

pets of the week Colonel Hops is a once-in-a-lifetime kind of dog. This 4-pound senior poodle has a heart of gold and loves being carried like a baby. We wish we knew Colonel Hops’ background, but he came to the Kentucky Humane Society from a rural Kentucky shelter with no information. Sometime in the past, he suffered an injury to his back left leg, which left that leg permanently mangled. Despite his disability, Colonel Hops gets along well, and either “hops” on his “good” back leg as he walks or he drags himself along on his “bad” leg. Colonel Hops also seems familiar with being carried in a purse. We estimate his age to be about 12, but it’s hard to know, as he teeth were in pretty bad shape until we gave him a dental. He’s a sweetheart who will be grateful for a loving retirement home. Since Colonel Hops thrives being in a home, he is going to stay with his foster family until his forever person comes along. To meet the Colonel, email us a dog adoption application found at www.kyhumane.org/dogs. The adoption application can be sent to foster@ kyhumane.org. If you have any further questions, feel free to call 502-366-3355 ext 2260. For more on Colonel Hops or any of our adoptable pets, please call 502-366-3355 or visit kyhumane.org. Looking for a cat who’s got it all? Meet Pocoyo! Four-year-old Pocoyo came to the Kentucky Humane Society when his owners could no longer care for him. Despite having only four teeth, Pocoyo is happier than ever and so excited to find a forever home! Pocoyo may be four-years-old but he’s got plenty of kitten energy still in him. Just take out a wand toy and see for yourself! This handsome, tuxedo cat LOVES to play so much that he’ll even play when no one is around. Wand toys, rattling toys, pipe cleaners- you name it, Pocoyo is playing with it. He’s also quite the cuddly cat and doesn’t mind being held by his people either. If a playful, affectionate friend is what you’re after, you’ll find it in Pocoyo. Pocoyo is neutered, micro-chipped and up-to-date on all vaccinations. He’s waiting for you at our adoption center in the Springhurst Feeders Supply, 9485 Brownsboro Road. For more on Pocoyo or any of our adoptable pets, please call 502-366-3355 or visit kyhumane.org.
