This real estate issue happens to coincide with a time in my life when real estate is heavily on my mind as my family contemplates and considers a move. It would be the first time in my life that a change of address was not dictated by one of those “stressful” life moments like a marriage, a career change or a relocation to a new city. In those circumstances, the selection of a new home was dictated by an imminent need and therefore felt temporary and was made in haste. Now, I find myself overthinking every detail: I like this house, but I prefer that neighborhood. Would we ever actually use a breakfast nook? What happens if my three-year-old son wakes up in the middle of the night crying because he wants to go “home” to “his room?” Does Panera even deliver here? I’ve always resisted the idea that one can “outgrow” a space. I say, instead, that we’ve just acquired too much stuff (although, in this case, I’ve acquired a few new humans). After all, some of the happiest times of my life were living in a 700-square-foot loft where we entertained often and guests slept on inflatable mattresses almost every weekend. The lap of luxury it was not, but it was filled with love, laughs and all the necessities of life. However, it sure is a lot of fun for me each week to pull together columns like Hot on the Market and Prestigious Properties and fantasize about living in resTonya Abeln idences like the ones that are featured this week. It’s all fun and games while it’s fantasy; it’s when faced with the reality of such an important decision that the fun turns into anxiety. Luckily, Louisville has no shortage of seasoned, respected and knowledgeable professionals to guide us through the process, many of whom are profiled in this issue. As Chris Mercier says in our feature “Property Brothers of Louisville,” sometimes his job as a realtor is to be more of a counselor than anything else. Whether buying, selling, renovating or renting, I hope you find something in this real estate issue that informs or inspires.

The Property Brothers of Louisville

By Tonya Abeln

The Mercier brothers have a keen and instinctual gift of bringing levity to even the most stressful of situations. A well-developed sense of humor mixed with their easy-going nature make them a delight to spend time with one-on-one, but also a mammoth of a social force when they are combined. While it’s true that they have great comedic timing, their timing when entering the professional field of real estate could not have been worse. When it comes to careers, it wasn’t the first love for any of them, but ultimately, real estate is where they each have found their true passion. The oldest, Todd, recounts, “I started in this industry when the mortgage crisis was happening in 2008. I had moved to Louisville to start the nursing program at UofL and I couldn’t figure out what I was in a panic two weeks before I was set to begin. It was because I didn’t really want to do that.” He knew he enjoyed finance and numbers, but what he didn’t know was that everything in the industry was imploding and 90 percent of

the mortgage companies in Louisville were closing. With no one in the position to make a hire, Todd approached Lisa Kaiser, who owned a private brokerage, about doing an internship so he could learn the business. She eventually hired him and he’s been in the mortgage industry ever since. Todd prides his approach to business on never having bought a lead, something that is not uncommon in the industry. “I have always been 100 percent referral-based,” he explains. “I feel like in this business or any type of sales or marketing, it is all about networking, and fortunately, I love to socialize and go to events. Finding a lead is never my motivation when I am out, but I have found that, honestly, you can talk to anybody and through that dialogue, eventually a need reveals itself in a very organic way.” “This industry fits his personality so well,” offers Jacob, the middle brother, and the second to take the leap into real estate. “Todd is such a people person and is able to establish relationships really quickly.” After witnessing how much his older

brother was enjoying the industry, Jake was curious about the possibilities, but his timing wasn’t any better. Having worked in the nonprofit industry for years, he found himself burned out and frustrated. However, since his grant program was affiliated with a college, he was able to take classes. “I decided to take real estate courses just for fun and to get out of a mental rut,” Jake recalls. “I ended up with a certificate in real estate and all the requirements for a license, so I thought, why not get my license and finish what I started?” A chance encounter with a college friend opened the door for

Jake to be named director of sales for Property Management of Louisville and their newly developed PML Real Estate. “The market was still in terrible shape,” he reveals, “and everyone thought I was nuts to leave my current job. In hindsight, I was. I definitely learned the industry the hard way and spent the first three to four years representing banks and portfolios that were going under and helping people get out of mortgages they couldn’t afford and short sales. I remember saying to my older brother, ‘I think I’ve made a mistake. I used to have vacation and sick days.’” Chris chimes in with a characteristic quip, “I let them test drive the industry over the bumps and potholes and then I waited to come

“

in when there were no real problems.” While the youngest knew he didn’t necessarily want to pursue real estate full time (he maintains a career at Humana), he seized the advantage of having the most accessible mentors around. “I had the opportunity to be candid with my questions and not have to take into consideration workplace or industry politics,” Chris describes. “I could just be my usual blunt self.” “Well, that’s an understatement!” laughs Jake. Each brother has a very distinct personality that they bring to the table. In Chris’ words, “Todd can walk into a room, and within 10 minutes, he can introduce you to everyone there. Jake has an incredibly extended network of friends, but he is able to maintain all of

CHRIS MERCIER Licensed Realtor with PML Real Estate Group 1815 Frankfort Avenue “Think of the reasons people usually buy a home – you are going through a major change: the breakup or the start of a relationship or marriage, starting or expanding a family, changing jobs and moving cities, or sometimes a death. In some ways, we double as a counselor for some of our clients. I like being able to set them up for success in their life as they undergo these changes. I especially love dealing with first-time home buyers because I remember the uncertainty of being one myself, and I like to put them at ease with this process.”

“ “

TODD MERCIER Senior Mortgage Consultant with American Mortgage Solutions 10602 Timberwood Circle, Suite 3 “I’ve heard horror stories where something happens to one of the people in a couple and the family of the deceased comes in to take the house because it wasn’t titled properly for joint tenants with right of survivorship. That’s an unfortunate reality for some couples. I like being able to provide guidance and reassurance for gay and lesbian couples that no one is going to be able to take this home away from them regardless of how their family may feel about their sexuality. It’s a valid concern as I see more LGBTQ couples buying houses together, and I like being able to protect them.”

those relationships in a very real and meaningful way. I am not as extroverted as they are, but I am very candid, and I don’t sugar coat anything.” For Chris, that translated into a way to work in real estate part-time, with a more narrow approach. “This is something I want to do because I love it,” he says. “So this gives me the opportunity to work with one client at a time and really focus my efforts on putting that smile on their face without interfering with my full-time job.” Despite a lifetime of talking about a family business, the brothers maintain careers separately.

Todd is a senior mortgage consultant at American Mortgage Solutions; Jacob is a Realtor at ReMax 100: The Mawood Group; and Chris is a licensed realtor at PML Real Estate Group, where Jake started his real estate career. However, they are always a resource for each other. “Probably the most memorable professional experience I’ve had,” Jake says, “is when I represented the seller, Chris represented the buyer, and Todd did the mortgage. It’s great to be able to get answers for your clients immediately and not just within business hours. For example, I have no problem calling Todd with a question at one o’clock in the morning.” To which Todd responds in jest, “And I have no problem declining that call.” He continues, “Buying a home is a very exciting, yet scary,

process. It’s something people only do a few times, or even once, in a lifetime. I think the ease and chemistry that we have as brothers brings a level of comfort to the table and keeps the lines of communication open.” Jake expands, “What we try to focus on, is that, while there is a lot for us to know and manage in this sometimes stressful roller coaster, there is also a way for us to keep it fun. It’s okay to have a good time and have real conversations. It doesn’t have to be so tense, uptight and sterile or it is going to be a nightmare for all of us. True, there is a lot that can go wrong and there is plenty to be stressed out about, but there is nothing so bad that you can’t figure it out. As my first mentor taught me,’Nobody dies in real estate.’” VT

JACOB MERCIER Realtor with ReMax 100: The Mawood Group 154 Thierman Lane “Buying a home is usually the biggest purchase people will make in their life. Managing expectations and communicating upfront what exactly to expect from start to finish can make the entire process less scary for a client. At the end of the day, there is nothing so awful for anyone to lose their sanity over. There are ups and downs to this process, but we will get through it together. Hopefully, we will have a little fun along the way as well.”

LIVING

In a city teeming with skilled

real estate agents, John Lenihan

is on a mission to raise the

standard even higher.

As owner of Lenihan Sotheby’s International Realty, Lenihan has found his niche in transactions of at least $450,000. “This is our target market,” says Lenihan, “and we totally dominate it.” At 3803 Brownsboro Road, the brokerage has about 25 agents. That’s a much shorter roster than some other local brokerages have. That’s because those firms rely heavily on part-time agents, who sometimes merely sell a house or two and move on. But at Lenihan Sotheby’s, every agent is fulltime, and every one of them is held to a rigorous standard. “We are absolutely dead-set on professionalizing our industry,” Lenihan says. “The smarter the agent base becomes, the more experienced the agent base becomes, the better served is the buying and selling public.” When you buy or sell a house, it’s often the biggest transaction of your life. So it just doesn’t make sense, Lenihan says, that you’d entrust that transaction to anyone but someone with a wealth of experience. Lenihan Sotheby’s agents live in the world of high-end real estate, representing both buyers and sellers. So if you’re wanting to sell, there’s a strong possibility that they already know someone who’s been looking for just what you have. And since they operate in this world every day, they know exactly what it takes to close the deal.

Lenihan started developing commercial real estate in 1985 and made his way into the residential side in the ’90s. In 2010, he decided to open a brokerage focusing on the upper end of residential real estate. Initially, it was just going to be called Lenihan. But then, after he had already picked out his office location and started hiring staff, he reached an agreement with Sotheby’s International Realty. The brokerage opened on January 1, 2011, as Lenihan Sotheby’s International Realty. “I’m absolutely thrilled that I chose to partner with Sotheby’s,” Lenihan says. “It is the difference between explosive growth and unlimited potential and just bumping along.” Among other benefits, Lenihan Sotheby’s agents have access to a plethora of tools. They don’t just take pictures of houses; they take 3D pictures that let prospective buyers take themselves on a virtual tour of the entire interior. They don’t just run a line ad or two; they spread the word through direct mailings, Facebook ads and print ads. Lenihan puts it simply: “We don’t list homes; we market them.” The result is that over the past five years, Lenihan Sotheby’s has been the Louisville area’s fastest growing real estate agency. Over that time, it’s had the area’s highest sales volume for homes above $500,000 and for homes above $1 million. The firm has also had the highest average listing price and highest average sales price. And among local brokerages with five or more agents, Lenihan Sotheby’s has had the highest sales production per agent.

FREEDOM

Judie Parks and Dave

Parks are sailing along

smoothly again after an

economic storm.

In 2011, they took no salary. Judie and Dave are sister and brother. They co-own a Louisville real estate firm that goes by the full name of Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices Parks & Weisberg, Realtors. It’s a franchise of Berkshire Hathaway, which has offices throughout the country. The “Parks & Weisberg” part of the name comes from Judie and Dave’s mother, Pat Parks, and from Frank and Ron Weisberg, who co-owned it with her. All three former owners still have offices at the firm, situated at 295 N. Hubbards Lane in St. Matthews. With about 90 agents and about 20 staff members, the company handles commercial and residential real estate as well as property management. Dave Parks describes his tenure at the firm thus far as a “story about perseverance.” When he joined in 2001, his sister had already been there for 11 years. Neither of them knew what the economy was about to do. But neither of them had a background in real estate either, and as it turned out, that may have been to their advantage. Judie had been a computer engineer at Ford Motor Co., Dave, a captain in the U.S. Marines. Their backgrounds had instilled in them exactly what they needed to weather the storm and make their mother proud. “Let me tell you about engineering,” Judie says. “You can sum it up in just these few words: It teaches you to think.” Successful realtors, the siblings explain, keep their finger on the pulse of the ever-oscillating market. The strategy that was wise for a client last month might be outdated now. And when you’re navigating a recession, getting it right is the only option. “All engineering is,” Judie says, “is a way to

M A R C H 3 0 , 2 0 1 7 • V O I C E -T R I B U N E . C O M

TVT.indd 14

By Wes Kerrick

break down any problem that you have into the tiniest steps so that you can get it solved. That’s all this has been. We just keep breaking down the steps so that we can figure out how to solve them.” When Dave retired from the Marines, the chance to work with his mother and sister presented a much-needed opportunity to settle down after decades of moving from city to city. When things got tough at the firm, it helped Dave to reflect on how challenging the Marine Corps had been. “You have to be ready to go to a foreign land,” he recalls. “You have to be ready to look your Marines in the eye and say, ‘Hey, this is a really tough mission, and I’m not sure we’re all going to make it.’ That made getting through this really tough market not really that bad.” Having trained countless Marines, Dave fit naturally into a role as the primary trainer of agents at Berkshire Hathaway. His mission is to “get them over that hurdle, where they can feel like it’s going to be OK.” Real estate can be daunting, even for the most talented. “Everybody goes through that process,” Dave says. “And in some cases it’s a year, and in some cases it’s five years before they really get comfortable enough that they know no matter what happens, they can go out, generate business, feed their family and be OK. And so for me, that’s the big thing.” For Judie, running the firm is an opportunity to serve. “Whether you’re moving two blocks over or 2,000 miles away, it’s very stressful. And the fact that you get to help them go through that period and try to make it as stress-free as possible and get them the house that suits their needs – it’s a very rewarding profession. As I tell our agents all the time, you have to have a servant’s heart to do this job.” VT The firm has additional offices in Jeffersonville at 2308 E. 10th St. and in Jeffersontown at 833 Valley College Drive.

LOUISVILLE’S HISTORIC HILLTOP THEATER GETS NEW LIFE WITH RED HERRING COCKTAIL LOUNGE AND KITCHEN Herring Cocktail Lounge and Kitchen, 1757 Frankfort Ave., will open in Clifton’s Hilltop Theater in late April. Owner Brett Davis hired chef Jacob Coronado and one of GQ magazine’s most imaginative bartenders Clay Livingston for the cocktail-focused concept. It will feature a menu of the 100 most influential classic cocktails along with some house-crafted recipes. A selection of frozen drinks and adult milkshakes along with well-chosen artisanal wines and regional craft beers will be served. The food menu will feature dishes meant to enhance the cocktail experience and are easily eaten by hand. They include everything from Coronado’s version of pub classic burgers and hot dogs to adventurous dishes utilizing ingredients such as halibut cheeks and chicken skin. Red Herring will be open from 4 p.m. until 2 a.m. nightly serving meals until 1 a.m. Average menu prices will range from $6 to $10 for cocktails and $15 or less for food. In addition to the regular menu, diners can enjoy a “blue plate” special from 4 until 6 p.m. during the week, getting a full meal for less than $10. For more information visit Red Herring on Facebook. “I am a purist when it comes to the craft of mixing and drinking spirits,” explained Davis, who travels the world teaching others about wine, beer and spirits with the Court of Master Sommeliers. “The best of the traditional cocktails

Red Herring will provide the city of Louisville a friendly place to enjoy the world of craft cocktails in an atmosphere that reflects the historical significance of the culture.” The Hilltop Theater opened in 1915. Restored by building owner and Davis’ financial partner Mo Deljoo, the building radiates class and elegance. The brick and concrete building encompasses tile floors, vaulted ceilings and is perfect for entertainment. Today, the signature 1900s crown molding still lines the ceiling. Red Herring’s interior design provides a mid-century modern feel with accents of vibrant oranges, greens, blues and reds paired with rich grays and browns to showcase the original features. The 3,000-square-foot lounge includes more than 100 seats inside, outside and at the bar. Diners will find 1950s-stylewallpaper-inspired murals commissioned by local artist Monica Mahoney hand-painted on the walls. 143 SURVIVORS TO CHAMPION BREAST AND OVARIAN CANCER AWARENESS IN 2017 LONGINES KENTUCKY OAKS SURVIVORS PARADE PRESENTED BY KROGER Churchill Downs Racetrack and its charitable partner The Breast Health Program at Norton Cancer Institute Breast Health Program recently announced the 143 breast and ovarian cancer survivors selected to walk in the 2017 Longines Kentucky Oaks Survivors Parade Presented by Kroger. The public may read the survivors’ stories and donate to Norton Cancer Institute Breast Health Program at kentuckyderby.com/survivors. The ninth annual Survivors Parade will take place on Churchill Downs’ historic racetrack at the 143rd Longines Kentucky Oaks on Friday, May 5, 2017, the day before the Kentucky Derby presented by Yum! Brands. The $1 million Longines Kentucky Oaks is America’s premier race for 3-year-old fillies and the third-most attended horse race in the U.S. behind the Kentucky Derby and the Preakness Stakes. The public nominated and selected the 143 survivors to champion breast and ovarian cancer awareness in this year’s Survivors Parade through an online process. Nearly 400 survivors were nominated from across the U.S., Canada and Mexico. The 143 survivors selected are from cities as wide-ranging as San Jose Del Cabo, Mexico; Somerset, California; Denver, Colorado; Rochester, Minnesota; Avonmore, Pennsylvania; Deltona, Florida; and Louisville. The Survivors Parade is part of Churchill Downs’ Longines Kentucky Oaks ninth annual Pink Out, during which the track conducts fundraising, provides outreach and drives national breast and ovarian health awareness. Churchill Downs has donated more than $820,000 to breast cancer organizations through the Pink Out celebration during the past nine years. Pink Out is a central part of the new partnership between Churchill Downs and Norton Cancer Institute Breast Health Program, which has welcomed a decade of support from the volunteer-driven Derby Divas group in raising funds to help provide care for women in our community who lack access to necessary breast health screenings and services. Churchill Downs is joining the efforts of Derby Divas to partner with the Norton Cancer Institute in going pink and raising support for women throughout the state of Kentucky and beyond. The partnership presents significant potential to women who can benefit from Norton Cancer Institute’s breast health programs, state-of-the-art diagnosis and treatment resources, community screenings, support groups, genetic testing services and clinical trials.

Ed.D, R.N., CFRE, Norton Healthcare senior vice president of women’s and children’s community partnerships, and chief development officer. “The Survivors Parade brings us together to celebrate hope and raise funds to support and provide care for survivors in our community and across the nation.” NORTON COMMONS ADDING KENTUCKY WILDFLOWER MEADOW AND COMMUNITY GARDENS Norton Commons, the growing new urbanist community in Prospect, last week announced the addition of new amenities including a wildflower meadow as well as a community garden. Both the community garden and the wildflower meadow will be located at Bergamot Drive and Chamberlain Lane, just west of the community’s amphitheater and lake. The 3-acre wildflower meadow will incorporate species native to the state and will include many of the varieties for which the community streets are named. The meadow will be in concert with nature and will enhance and attract pollinators, birds and butterflies. The community garden will consist of 32 4-by-10-foot raised beds. The Norton Commons Neighborhood Association management staff and volunteers will oversee the garden, and plot leases have just begun among neighbors. They are sold out except for one remaining bed. “The new green spaces will be both aesthetically-pleasing and environmentally beneficial,” said Marilyn Osborn Patterson, marketing director and legal counsel for Norton Commons. “This is a collaborative project and will bring together residents of all ages to share in the harvests of vegetables and herbs. It’s the next extension of our farm to fork initiatives that began two years ago, when we launched our farmers’ market.” GE APPLIANCES UNVEILED AS NEW LOUCITY JERSEY SPONSOR Two local staples, Louisville City FC and GE Appliances, a Haier company, have partnered to feature the iconic GE Appliances brand on the front of game jerseys during the 2017 season. The 100+year-old appliance brand, which is in half of homes across the country, will be immediately recognizable by fans. LouCity will continue to wear purple kits at home with a white GE Appliances logo across the front of the shirts. Black GE Appliances logo and lettering will adorn the club’s white and gold hoop jerseys, now LouCity’s official away design. A third kit will be revealed later. “As we begin taking the first steps toward building our stadium and securing Louisville City FC’s long-term future in the community, we are proud to announce our new look and partnership with GE Appliances,” said LouCity Chairman John Neace. “GE Appliances touts dependability, durability and quality – the same things we look for in our players.” GE Appliances strives to help people improve their lives at home through a proven record of design, production and service. With manufacturing facilities in Louisville and surrounding states, GE Appliances produces everything from refrigerators to cooking products and water filtration systems.

You’ve got a lot of comparably skilled guys and also a lot of wildcard players in that range. That’s why it’s so hard to predict where a guy like Donovan Mitchell is going to go right now.” With or without Mitchell, Louisville is going to be very good next season. Their chances of being great, however, may hinge on the next few weeks. VT

The pain of this premature loss will evaporate, we’ll cheer to Kentucky players donning new NBA caps and high school players donning new UK hats. The lights will twirl, the music will sound, the smoke will rise, and we’ll all watch the stage to see those new Kentucky names — the ones Big Blue Nation has been hearing so much about, the ones it’s so eager to see — walk out onto the stage, throw up their hands to greet their new fandom, and jog down the steps and into another Kentucky basketball season. And sitting there will be a bunch of high school seniors who Cal and Kenny Payne have been romancing to come to Lexington in 2018. I hope Matthew Mitchell will dance again.

Baseball and Softball Back in Full Bloom

pring is officially here, which means eye black and cleats are a part of the dress code for high school baseball and softball athletes. We’re already beyond a week into the 2017 season, and here are some things you need to know about teams this year.

High School Sports Report

RANDY WHETSTONE JR.

BASEBALL St. X comes into this season with a target on their back. After winning the state championship last season and a state-record seventh overall, Coach Andy Porta and the Tigers will look to defend their title as a team that prides itself on its defense. Players to watch for in this year’s senior class are pitcher Connor Holden, who has signed with Murray State; outfielder Sam Hedges, who is going to Northern Kentucky; Southern Indiana signee outfielder Sam Mudd; and infielder Chris Esselman, who has signed with Centre. Coach Porta, whose philosophy is reloading, not rebuilding, has a team off to a hot start. The Tigers are already 7-1 on the year (five of those wins being shutouts), while only allowing 2.3 runs a game. Well, their only loss this season has come at the hands of Trinity. The rivalry between the two is always special regardless of the sport. This year, the Shamrocks started the season winning their first six games of the year, with three shut-out victories and scoring double digit runs in all but one game. Filled with experience, you can expect Trinity to be in some state title conversations. A few seniors leading the way will be junior catcher/infielder Ben Metzinger, who has committed to Louisville and senior pitcher Brandon Pfaadt, who has signed with Bellarmine. In the sixth region, Bullitt

East, who has a young group this year, is off to a 6-0 start, and North Bullitt is 4-2, with early losses to St. Xavier and DeSales in shutouts. Also, keep an eye out for Ballard. The Bruins are 4-0 to start the year, and senior pitcher/outfielder Jordan Adell has signed with Louisville and has been projected as a first-round pick in the Major League Baseball Draft in June.

SOFTBALL In softball, it’s the Male Lady Bulldogs with the target on their back. Coach Josh Bloomer and his team will be looking to capture their fifth straight seventh region title with the hopes of hoisting a state title at the end of the year. “We don’t shy away from having a target on our back when we’re playing in this city and when we’re playing the majority of the teams in the state,” says Bloomer. “It’s just a compliment to all the players who’ve played in the program prior to this group and what they’ve done. My biggest goal is to put them out there on any given day and do my job to make sure they’re motivated to play to the best of their abilities.” Male will start the season without senior pitcher and Murray State signee Olivia Suski, who had surgery on her pitching

arm. She went 22-7 last season with a 2.07 ERA. She looks forward to returning around the end of April. In the sixth region, Bullitt East will again rely heavily on the arm of Taylor Roby. The junior pitcher, who’s committed to the University of Louisville, was a flamethrower last season. She went 23-5 with a 1.15 ERA, to go along with 14 home runs and 50 RBIs. And you can’t forget about Butler, coached by Brittany Braun. The Bearettes went 25-7-1 last year, coming up short in the sixth region tournament to Holy Cross (Louisville). But they return seniors in pitcher/shortstop Hailey Whitmer, who has signed with Northern Kentucky and senior pitcher/shortstop in Annabelle Ramirez, who has signed with Lindsey Wilson. Ballard went 25-9-2 last year before losing to Male in the seventh region tournament. They look to get major contributions from senior Catie Barber, who has signed with the University of Louisville. Last season, she batted .392. Butler’s Annabelle Ramirez (sixth) and Male’s Olivia Suski (seventh) are both ranked No. 1 in the top 10 players of their region. Both teams are scheduled to play May 2 at Male High School at 7 p.m. It looks to be another thrilling season in high school baseball and softball. VT

Staying Between the Lines

The next day, we were at n our World Cruise Penang, a very old city of on the Seven Seas European Victorian-style Navigator we spent mansions. Having been one day in Singapore. It there before, we opted for would have been fun to an artistic experience! We spent three hours at a Batik spend more time there, but Partyline factory outside of town. The Port Klang, where we will drive was amazing. The hilly dock to go into Kuala LumCARLA SUE waterfront was wall-to-wall pur, awaited. So, away we with glamorous hotels, town BROECKER sailed, looking forward to houses and condos. Then we arrived at the seedy factory, not really seeing one of the world’s tallest prepared for what came next. buildings, the Petronas Towers in We were taken to the large open air Kuala Lumpur (KL) in Malaysia. Port Klang is the entry port for Malaysia. The cruise center is a handsome white English colonial building sitting alone on the Strait of Malacca. Buses were waiting to take us into Kuala Lumpur, the largest city in Malaysia, begun in 1857. It was ruled by the fourth Sultan, Abdul Samad of Selangor, born in 1804, who reigned for 41 years, from 1851 to 1898. Now, it is the seat of the Parliament of Malaysia. The official residence of the Malaysian King, the Istana Negara, is in KL. Rated an alpha world city, KL is the cultural, financial and economic center of Malaysia due to its position as the capital as well as being a key city. It is one of three federal territories of Malaysia, enclaved within the state of Selangor on the central west coast of Peninsular Malaysia. We stopped to view the classic Blue Dome Mosque and then proceeded to visit the National Museum. It is a gem. It was filled with beautiful furniture and art from the glory days when KL was one of the most important trading centers in this part of the world. It began in the mid-19th century with rubber plantations and the mining of tin. We were taken for lunch to a lovely hotel that had an incredible buffet. The Thai food was delicious. We tried almost everything. Then our bus arrived and took us to the local shopping center/souvenir stand. It was two levels of about 150 stands, a few ceiling fans and no AC but a restaurant that had a run on cokes with lots of ice! We were happy to get back on our chariot and snooze for the hour back “home” at the dock.

shed filled with horizontal frames with thin white linen tacked to them. Various outlined designs were drawn on the linen in clear wax. We chose the one we liked. There was a table full of pots of paint to choose from. I felt like a lost ball in high weeds! Fortunately, a young man took pity on me and came over with a small jar of purple paint and a curved brush. He showed me how to paint between the lines. It was backbreaking work because the fabric is stapled to a horizontal wooden frame. Not being artistic, I was as nervous as a long-tailed cat in a room full of rocking chairs! Brad was working at a stand across the room. It was hot in the shed. Slowly, I learned to use the curved, pointed brush, working against the clock. My teacher came over to help as my back was breaking. He quickly painted in the wide blue border and voila! My scarf was lovely. The fabric had to dry. We returned to the ship exhausted but pleased. When the paint was dry, the scarves were boiled in hot water to remove the wax and then the color was “set” with vinegar. Next, they were ironed and delivered to the ship. They are beautiful. The next few days, we were in the province of Phuket in Thailand. It is the largest island of 33 that lie off the west coast of Thailand in the Andaman Sea. We were not scheduled for that port but the tides were going to be too high for us to dock safely in Rangoon, Burma, now called Myanmar. On to the Chong Temple complex. The Borgld Temple in Bangor is 103 years old. There was much ringing of gongs and exploding of firecrackers to ask for good wishes from the Buddah.

Burmese troops were preparing to attack Phuket, whose military governor had just died. The Burmese thought the island could be easily seized.

The two sisters became local heroines and received honorary titles from King Rama I. To honor their parents, men become monks for a month, six months or whatever floated their boat! We stopped at a cashew nut factory where they process and package cashews with lots of different flavors applied. We tried wasabi, barbecue, sesame, hot pepper and lots of others. Didn’t feel the need to bring any home, but we did learn a lot about the cultivation of cashews. The trees produce a yellowish fruit the shape of a green pepper. The nut we eat

hangs below the fruit. Finally there was the obligatory, gigantic jewelry store. We wandered in, looked at the jeweled encrusted figurines, jewelry and handbags and wandered out. The prices are astronomical and we have yet to see anyone buy anything in those stores. Back on the floating “Ponderosa,” all was well. Our next two days at sea, headed toward Colombo, Sri Lanka, were spent reading, watching movies, putting the laundry away (that someone else has done!) and lunching and dining with friends. One evening, we were invited to a cocktail party around the pool deck to watch the evening sky change color as the sun was setting over the Bay of Bengal. It was absolutely breathtaking. VT

SPOTLIGHT

Puttin’ On The Ritz

On April 13, the Women’s Council of Realtors will host its annual fashion show with a special Gatsby style! The event will take place from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. at Millionaires Row at Churchill Downs, and Ovarian Cancer Awareness of Kentucky will be this year’s beneficiary. Guests will enjoy a morning of fashion, brunch and shopping, and to get a little extra info on this event, we chatted with Louise Fletcher. What is Puttin’ on the Ritz? “Puttin’ on the Ritz” is a 1920s song that said, “Go where fashion sits/Puttin’ on the Ritz.” The Ritz-Carlton was for upscale evenings – or in the case of our event, brunch. The expression ultimately means you will have a special time out. What can guests expect at the event? Attendees can expect a great opportunity to network and shop with 14 vendors for all types of Derby accessories, various handbags, bow ties and many other items that are always in-demand this season Why is the event important for the Women’s Council of Realtors and the greater community? This event is a social event, but it is also a fundraiser for our association to help with our annual budget, which includes education, networking, charitable contributions, speakers and more. How has the organization grown over the years? Our local organization is one of the largest in the nation with over 300 chapters and is a partner with the National Association of Realtors. And we help educate and raise the bar for our realtors and strategic partners. Do you hold any other regular events readers can look forward to? We also have an annual well-attended Business Expo in October that is a wonderful event with free admission. Is it too late to get tickets to Puttin’ on the Ritz? Tickets and/or tables are still available to this event. Interested parties may call Barb Jefferies at 502.817.6139.

Low Impact, High Results By Richie Goff

fter suffering a running injury in January, I’ve been more than ready recently to dive back into effective, diverse physical exercise. Keeping the repercussions of my injury in mind, I knew I needed a workout that could deliver high results but with lower impact. After a little hunting, it looked like Barre3 was just the place for me. I decided to check it out for myself recently, and upon my entering, the staff greeted me warmly in the lobby. After I find the cubby I need to deposit my shoes in, owner Nikki Naseef introduces herself with a wide smile and sets me up with some light hand weights, a towel and a space at the barre. She asks me if I have any injuries (yes) and assures me I can make any necessary adjustments. “This is your class,” she says, which is one of the many mantras she reminds us of over the next hour. The room fills to capacity by the time the class begins, and each person takes their space at the barre. Nikki dims the lights, turns on the music and we begin our warmup. Breathing deeply, we reach our arms to the ceiling and back down, steadily increasing our pulse. Dropping down into a squat, we place our hands on our thighs and stretch in a Sumo Twist, while Nikki gets us into the zone by reminding us to be present in the moment. After a series of sumo squats to work up a sweat, the real work begins. First, we concentrate on our legs. Standing with our feet in a V, we squat down and raise up to the balls of our feet and hold. Holding a position is one of the basics of Barre3; it ensures proper alignment and gets the muscles firing.

We then start our small range of movements, performing 1-inch dips to cause muscle fatigue and help recruit our core muscles to stabilize us. Shortly in, my quadriceps are shaking, which I am assured is a sign that I am getting a proper workout. From there, we move into the large dynamic movements like side lunges to flush out our system and increase oxygen intake. After working more on our legs by doing isolations in carousel horse and crescent lunge (yoga poses are used frequently throughout), we work through movements to engage the gluteus maximus. “Grab your butt!” Nikki instructs, “It’s yours!” Though I stop more than the rest of the class to give my shaking legs a break, Nikki’s encouragement keeps me motivated. Starting a set of burpees, I am happy to be moving big. Finally, we transition into core work on our mats, placing our Barre3 Core Balls under our upper backs, leaning over it and crunching up toward alternating legs. More than three quarters of the class has flown by in a whirlwind of squats and toning arm work with our light hand weights, and it’s a relief to be laying down. The remainder of the class is spent cooling down and stretching, performing poses like catcow and child’s pose. Nikki reminds us again to let go and meditate on our body and the work we’ve done, and though I know I will be sore later, I am utterly relaxed. Barre3 is a complete workout for all levels of fitness. Nikki’s passion for the Barre3 way of life rubs off on everyone she meets; she pushes you to be the best possible version of yourself. Though my legs were still quivering by the time I walked out to my car, I’m glad I bellied up to that barre. VT Barre3 2400 Frankfort Ave. 502.690.2425 barre3.com

hen it comes to putting down roots, some fall in love with a particular house. For others, like Emily Saylor and her family, the ideal home was all about location.

Having enjoyed their neighborhood for eight years, they had no intention of leaving. Yet with three children and a fourth on the way, they found themselves growing out of their space. When lots opened in the back of the neighborhood, they promptly inquired about the details. This led the family to their builder, David Landis of Landis Homes. Just over two years old, the Saylor house features seven bedrooms and five-and-a-half baths. The design is reminiscent of a French country home. The windows along the back of the house overlook the woods, which offer plentiful sightings of deer up close. “Building our home was the perfect choice for us because it was still close to our neighbors and we were able to customize the home to our needs,” says Emily Saylor. The end result included many unique features. “Our finished basement contains an understair secret playhouse for our girls. Our son’s room has a built in ‘book nook’ that doubles as a library and sleeping area,” Saylor describes, noting the custom mudroom with floor-to-ceiling shelves as another great nuance. With five children, the family loves that the kids have their own spaces and room to move around. “If I had to pick a favorite room of the house, I would say the kitchen and hearth area,” says Saylor, adding “it is the place that we spend most of our time, whether it is doing homework, eating dinner together or entertaining.”

They love the open concept and the hearth’s quaint coziness just off the kitchen. When it came to the kitchen itself, Saylor knew exactly what she wanted. “I had our kitchen planned out before we ever decided to build. I had been planning it for years,” she explains. Part of her vision included the inclusion of circular seating for dinner, a kitchen island for breakfast and lunch, marble countertops and an ILVE stove from Italy. “The Waterstone faucet is a focal point, towering over the farmhouse sink. I also love the black and gold Hicks pendants hanging above the kitchen island,” she says. Always intrigued and interested in design, Saylor decorated the home herself. Her husband’s aunt is a seamstress and they’ve been able to collaborate for all of the

window treatments and pillows, including a custom canopy that hangs over their daughter’s bed. “My vision was to create a home that would feel comfortable yet also show my love for design. It had to be totally functional but fun as well. I absolutely love bold patterns and fabrics, as well as bright colors,” Saylor says, noting that she appreciates a neutral wall to balance things out, as well as wallpaper. The family enjoys entertaining with both relatives and neighbors. Whether it’s formal or an impromptu get-together, the Saylor residence is a great place to gather. VT

Hats on the Avenue By Graham Pilotte

s spring approaches, it’s time for new fashion trends to emerge. Each year brings a splash of new styles, especially those all-important Derby hats. So each year, you could scour the stores for new trends — or you could enjoy dinner and live music with your friends as you watch a fashion show from your table.

If the latter option sounds far better to you, you’re not alone – it’s why Hats on the Avenue, a fashion show at Varanese, is now a Louisville must-see. “We invite local boutiques to come and showcase hats in a table-side fashion show,” explains Randy Blevins, president of Think Tank Lou who has helped planned and produce the event for years. “It’s a really fun time to get into the Derby spirit.” “It started off with the idea of doing something for Derby,” says John Varanese.

TVT.indd 56

“We have a lot of great neighbors with small boutiques around our Frankfort Avenue location, so we decided to do our own fashion show built around Derby hats. Models kind of go in between the tables; they can stop and visit. People have a good time, and it’s great exposure for the local boutiques. Having an event with dinner brings another level to dining out.” Margaret Schneider of Margaret’s Consignment is delighted at the chance to showcase some of her hats. “It’s really exciting,” she says. “I like to pick out the hats that are really different – colorful, the big ones. We do fascinators too. And we work with the girls to coordinate with what they’re wearing.” She knows the classic looks for ladies but also keeps her eye on upcoming styles. “Men’s hats are a growing trend – we’ll probably have a male model in the show this year,” Schneider predicts. She expects to bring around 20 hats to her show. “To me, it’s all about supporting local businesses and local people,” explains Varanese. “It feels good to support your peers and your neighbors.” He’s excited for this year’s lineup, which includes fashion from Mysterious Rack, Liv Boutique and

Lulubelles, as well as Margaret’s Consignment. The atmosphere too is perfect for a night out. “We have live music, background jazz,” Varanese says, “and half-price bottles of wine. It’s always a great experience.” It’s evident that the community here is tremendously collaborative, with great Frankfort Avenue businesses coming together in a supportive environment. This will be the ninth year for Hats on the Avenue, which means that Varanese has years of these engaging memories. “One time, a woman from one of the local shops brought her horse in front of the restaurant,” he says with a smile. “We had a photo opportunity out in front with the hat and the horse. It was a fun idea for Derby.” So if you’re looking to support local businesses while finding the perfect hat, you may want to call for a reservation at Varanese on an upcoming Wednesday night in April. Hats on the Avenue is sure to impress. “I just love it,” Schneider says. “I’ve been here on the Avenue for 26 years and have worked really hard in the area.” She’s ready to welcome new friends and to share her neighborhood’s treasures. “The joy is having people from anywhere that love it and enjoy it.” VT

Two-Time Derby Burger Champion By Tonya Abeln

o you think you know your way around a grill? Well, step aside because Maurice Williams is here to show us all how it’s done for the second year in a row as the Derby Burger Champion with his SmoFried Cafe Burger. Among dozens of submissions and following a cook-off at Kroger in Middletown, Maurice emerged as the overall winner in the Sixth Annual Derby Burger Challenge sponsored by Kentucky Beef Council and coordinated by the Kentucky Derby Festival.

Fortunately, Williams’ concept is simple and easy to prepare (one of the four criteria along with taste, appearance and creativity). The winning recipe will be available to try at Kroger’s Festa-Ville, sampled at BeerFest and featured on the menu at Napa River Grill. While you won’t win VIP tickets to Thunder Over Louisville and Waterfront Jam like Williams did as part of his prize package, you can easily replicate the winning burger at home.

‘Recent Alien Abductions’ Reveals Unexpected Truths to Audiences By Minda Honey

y the time the lights came up in the Pamela Brown Auditorium, “Recent Alien Abductions” had brought the gentleman sitting next to me to tears. A quietness flavored by stunned disbelief had settled over the audience as we lifted ourselves from our chairs and made our way out of the theater. Opening night champagne awaited us in the lobby — believe me, it was much appreciated.

Someone pointed out the playwright, Jorge Ignacio Cortiñas, and I approached him to praise his play. He too seemed overwhelmed with emotion. He was honored that so many people had come together to bring “Recent Alien Abductions” to life for the 41st Humana Festival of New American Plays. Les Waters, Actors Theatre artistic director, directed the play himself. Cortiñas says the material was deeply personal to him and it was almost like the play wrote itself. “Recent Alien Abductions” opens with a monologue by Álavro, who insists, “It’s time for us to talk about the 25th episode of ‘The X-Files.’” Jon Norman Schneider is so engaging as Álvaro that I almost forgot that this wasn’t a one-man show. There are

M A R C H 3 0 , 2 0 1 7 • V O I C E -T R I B U N E . C O M

TVT.indd 58

many funny lines and observations made during this monologue as Álvaro dissects this fictional 25th episode for the audience. He points out that although the episode is supposedly being shot in Puerto Rico, there is a distinctly Southern California palm tree in the shot, and that the teen Fox Mulder happens upon is clearly speaking Spanish with a Mexican accent. But the monologue is also filled with many truths. Álvaro observes that, “Mulder is lonely in the way people are lonely when they’re looking for some to trust,” that, “People only fall in love with those they don’t trust,” and, perhaps most pertinent to the play that’s about to unfold before us, “Suffering changes the way we desire.” The bulk of the play is about what happens after Álvaro has taken his own life, and his friend Patria (Ronete Levenson) travels to Puerto Rico to ask his family for permission to publish his short stories. His brother, Néstor (Rafael Benoit), is the gatekeeper, and he and his wife Ana (Elia Monte-Brown), care for his mother Olga (Mia Katigbak), who is wheelchair-bound and only has momentary windows of lucidness. They are also aided by their neighbor Beba (Carmen M. Herlihy) who grew up with Álvaro and was close friends with him until he left for New York City. Like “The X-Files,” “Recent Alien Abductions” is a hunt for the truth, but the seekers don’t always find the answers they were expecting. The audience is given clues along the way that create a simmering unease that boils over into a heated

climax between Néstor and Patria — potential audience members, this is your content warning. “Recent Alien Abductions” ties up any unanswered questions with a return to Álavaro, but this time, his mother Olga, is in the background sharing the stage with him. The scene feels very “Twilight Zone”-esque. The range exhibited by Katigbak is incredible, with her taking Olga from a befuddled elderly woman to a stylish and cold “Mommy Dearest” type by the closing act. Benoit surges with aggressive energy, Levenson is so believable you’d almost expect to run into her Patria at the bar after the play, Herlihy nails it as the overly-involved neighbor, and Monte-Brown’s Ana has a little edge to her. The set, designed by Dane Laffrey is a family home decorated with a floral sofa in the main living room area with a kitchen table and a couple of chairs off to one side. There are also two bedrooms that the audience cannot fully see into that speak to the way families conduct themselves behind doors and in a way, support the distance between the Olga Beba thinks she knows, the Olga Patria sees and the Olga that raised Álvaro and Néstor. “Recent Alien Abductions” is about families and it’s about the ways we’re complicit in the suffering of those we love. It’s a play that’s a portrait of a great artist and the family that produced him. A play that will leave you wondering about the relationship between great art and great pain and the value in both.

Because often ask if I do radio or voice acting. your parents have been helping out financially, it might help to clear the air. I run into problems, though, when ••• strangers comment on it.

If someone says, “Wow, has anyone ever told you that you have a great voice?” or something of that nature, my first impulse is to make a joke about it. If I’m not quick enough on my feet, however, I often catch myself saying something like, “Yeah, I get that a lot,” or, “I know,” both of which sound egotistical, and I feel embarrassed afterward. Is there a way to acknowledge the compliment that doesn’t come off so pretentious? — NOT QUICK ON MY FEET DEAR NOT QUICK: Yes, accept the compliment graciously by saying, “Thank you.” ••• DEAR ABBY: My husband has been sick and unable to work for several years due to a debilitating illness. He has been home taking care of the kids while I have been working full time. We have lost everything because of the financial burden of his illness. I am very grateful to my parents for helping us financially during this tough time. Unfortunately, I believe some of my family think my husband is faking his illness. This is hurtful since they have known him for a long time (we’ve been married 12 years). My sister recently asked him in a rather nasty way why he doesn’t just go get a job, and I’m beginning to think that my parents share her sentiment. He already feels guilty and worthless for not being able to provide for our family. It’s coming to the point where I just want to get away from them and cut off contact. Should I address the issue or just let it go?

DEAR ABBY: My son just got some devastating news. He found out that the son he has raised for 20 years isn’t his. We will always love the young man regardless. The thing is, how do we help our son to overcome losing a child we all thought was his? — HEARTBROKEN IN TEXAS DEAR HEARTBROKEN: Regardless of who contributed the sperm that fertilized the egg that became your grandson, the person your son raised IS his son. The bond is there. Your son is the only father he has ever known. If you move forward from there and don’t deviate from that path, you should all be able to deal with this in a positive manner. ••• DEAR ABBY: There is a boy I like at school. He is a very well-known person around school. I’m not. I do have a wide variety of friends, and I even talk to some of his. My friends know I like him, and they would like for me to talk to him. I wouldn’t mind that, but what would I say? They want it to happen in person, but I want to do it by text, where I feel more me. What should I do? — TENNESSEE TEEN DEAR TEEN: Listen to your friends and approach him in person. A smile and a hello should break the ice. Then follow it up with a question about some activity that’s happening at school. ••• DEAR ABBY: Could you please address the etiquette of tasting samples at stores, events, food shows, etc.? People walk up and try to grab a sample with dirty, bleeding, scabby hands not realizing that other people will also be sampling that food. Samples are supposed to be GIVEN to

each person. And when that happens, the food handler should be wearing clean gloves and be the only person touching the food. Please let people know that once someone without gloves touches this food, the demonstrator must discard it for health reasons. Also, samples cannot be given to children without their parents’ permission, and any food allergies must be addressed before someone asks for a sample. — MARY IN FLORIDA DEAR MARY: Your suggestions are not only good manners, they also make common sense. I hope that readers who don’t know better will learn from your letter for the sake of everyone’s health. ••• DEAR ABBY: “Enough to Share” (December 5) was interested in supporting her daughter’s friends through the college application process. “Enough” could mention to the family that SAT and ACT fee waivers should be available through the school counseling department if the twins are considered low-income. Students should also know about government assistance programs, such as the Pell Grant, which can give additional money toward tuition for any low-income student. They can get more information through their schools when they fill out their FAFSA forms. — TITLE I TEACHER DEAR TEACHER: Thank you for the pertinent information. Read on for some instructive input from another reader: DEAR ABBY: Many schools have “Helping Hands” funds available for this purpose and would allow the family to donate to these specific girls anonymously, if need be. As an educator, I encourage everyone to reach out to a local school to offer help to struggling high school students. If they are in a position to do so, they should ask if they can sponsor a student in the college application process or sign up to mentor. — A LITTLE GOES A LONG WAY ••• 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 Meet Cali, a six-year-old Pit Bull Terrier mix who came to the Kentucky Humane Society from another shelter. This sweet girl has quickly become a staff favorite with her bubbly personality and cute face. Cali really misses having a home of her own and has gotten a bit frustrated being in a shelter. She doesn’t understand why she is here! Her previous shelter said that she is well behaved in the house and even lived with a young child. She is a wiggly pup who just wants to be the center of attention. Some of Cali’s favorite activities include going on walks and getting her back scratched! She would like to meet any potential dog siblings before going home with them because she can be a bit picky. Cali is already spayed, micro-chipped and up-to-date on all vaccinations. Adopt love today! Come see Cali at our adoption center in the Fern Creek Feeders Supply, 6820 Bardstown Road. For more on Cali or any of our adoptable pets, please call 502-366-3355 or visit kyhumane.org. Emerald is an 11-month-old Domestic Shorthair cat who came to the Kentucky Humane Society with her kittens in February. Her kittens have found great homes, and now it is time for Emerald to enjoy a life of love and pets in a forever home. Emerald loves to be spoiled, and wants to spend time with you. She enjoys a game of laser chase. She is sure she’ll catch that red dot someday. When not playing, Emerald loves cuddling with her humans. She’s not a fan of dogs, so she’s looking for a home without any canine frenemies. She’s spayed, micro-chipped and up-to-date on her vaccinations. Come meet her today at our adoption center in the St. Matthews Feeders Supply, 4600 Shelbyville Road. For more on Emerald or any of our adoptable pets, please call 502366-3355 or visit kyhumane.org.
