Molly Matney, Miss Kentucky 2017, crowns her Kentucky Proud products�

PHOTOS BY STEVE SQUALL

I love tobacco even though I’ve never been a smoker. My dad was a tobacco farmer and I loved the way the plant looked and smelled—I mostly loved that when I saw it hanging in the barn that meant a new outfit or toy might be soon to follow for me. Corn and strawberries were my designated projects to pick but I was never permitted near the tobacco, which made the allure even greater. Even now, when I pass a field of Burley tobacco—a scene I see less and less now since the Tobacco Buyout—I get a feeling of nostalgia and a hint of sadness for all of the farmers who were trying to make an honest living. I don’t want to be irresponsible with my words here. I am fully aware of the harmful effects of tobacco and am grateful for the increased health awareness and shifts in marketing. There is no accounting for the lives saved thanks to tobacco regulations and even my dad, the tobacco farmer himself, was able to quit smoking “cold turkey” after encountering some health issues. My hope is that other uses for the crop will be determined. The University of Louisville is still experimenting with cancer vaccines that utilize the tobacco plant. Wouldn’t that be the most paradoxical triumphant return of Kentucky’s former cash crop? My love for the Kentucky farmer was fueled when I met Molly Matney, an agriculture major at Western Kentucky University and our current Miss Kentucky, and listened to her speak passionately on her personal platform of Farm Fit. What many people may not realize about Miss Kentucky is that, while you do compete in all Tonya Abeln of those traditional fields of competition (talent, swimsuit, evening gown), you are also interviewing for a salaried job made possible by a grant through the Kentucky Department of Agriculture. Molly’s job as Miss Kentucky this year is to travel the stage and encourage consumers to buy Kentucky Proud products. Of course, she will also compete for the coveted crown of Miss America on September 10 in Atlantic City. Be sure to support her by watching the telecast on ABC and by making the effort to shop Kentucky Proud products on your next grocery or gift run. Lots of local vendors and farmers markets make it virtually effortless to do so and even Kroger makes it easy with a designated Kentucky Proud area. Read on to find out how Miss Kentucky is making Kentucky proud!

Kentucky P R O UD

by Kristie Hicks Crenshaw - Miss Kentucky 1995

W ith a smile book-ended by the most precious pair of dimples you’ve ever seen, Molly Matney will stop you in your tracks. She’s a beauty queen, yes. But that’s the beginning of the things you’ll notice about her. She’s fit, she’s fashionable and there’s a sparkle in her eyes when she talks about things she’s passionate about…like God, the Kentucky farmer and the people of the Bluegrass state.

Securing the title of Miss Kentucky 2017 and a shot at the Miss America crown this September was a virtual seed planted in her elementary school mind when Emily Cox, Miss Kentucky 2008 paid her class a visit. “I just fell in love with her. She was so sweet and so smart. I thought, maybe I can do that someday.” Molly’s platform issue for Miss Kentucky was “Farm Fit,” a program that encourages consumers to develop their bodies to be stronger and healthier by purchasing and consuming products found in their local farmers markets. Fresh fruits and vegetables, local honey, local beef cattle are all part of a balanced diet that limit the number of preservatives while maximizing freshness and flavor. For talent, Molly sang the Beatles song “Oh, Darling.” Rumor has it that she’ll be doing some good ol’ fashioned yodeling at Miss America on September 10. You’ll want to pull up a seat for that. A senior at Western Kentucky University, Molly majors in agriculture, which was an easy transition from her life on a farm as a child. She and her brother, Logan, had a budding entrepreneurial farmers market they dubbed “L&M Pumpkins.” “We’d just stand on the side of

“

Honestly, this is the biggest dream come true for me. As an agriculture major, having this as my first job is a really big deal. It will be so much fun to talk to these kids and help them understand where their food comes from.

the road and wait for people to drive by and buy our pumpkins…which didn’t happen very often,” she giggles. Molly was raised on a beef cattle farm in Metcalfe County. They also grew crops like watermelons, hay, and peppers. Farming was all she knew. “Growing up that way, that was how I thought everybody did things. I didn’t think I was different or unusual. When I went to college, that’s when I realized that the way I grew up was different.” Different and incredibly special to Molly. She has a deep and profound love and respect for the farming families of Kentucky. “It’s a whole lot harder than it looks, but it’s so very rewarding.” The week before competing at Miss Kentucky, Molly attended a Farm-to-Table Kentucky Proud dinner in Hart County. Being there, with people who had raised the livestock and vegetables for the meal they were to enjoy, she felt inspired to do the absolute best she could in competition. She felt an obligation to the farming community and was confirmed in her desire to win the title and job of Miss Kentucky. And it is a job. As Miss Kentucky, Molly serves as the spokesperson for the Kentucky Department of Agriculture’s “Kentucky Proud” program which encourages consumers of all ages to purchase products produced in Kentucky and to maintain a healthy and active lifestyle. A natural progression of her original platform issue, she’ll deliver this message to all age groups in schools throughout the commonwealth. “Honestly, this is the biggest dream come true for me. As an agriculture major, having this as my first job is a really big deal. It will be so much fun to talk to these kids and help them understand where their food comes from.” It is her hope that the youth of Kentucky will move towards healthy eating and physical activity instead of relying on styrofoam-wrapped fast food as a primary meal source and leading sedentary lives behind their technology. Sadly, Kentucky boasts a 34.6 percent obesity rate, the fifth highest in the country. Molly’s message is timely and needed, by young and old alike. While many of those conversations will take place in classroom assemblies as she tours the state for appearances, many more will take place on the Kentucky Department of Agriculture’s Mobile Science Activity Center, which consists of two 44-foot long trailers with 10 iPad interactive workstations and one 36-foot trailer with 9 iPad interactive workstations for students to conduct activities and investigations related to agriculture and the environment. Targeting fourth and fifth grade students (but available for students K-8), all activities align with Scientific Inquiry in Kentucky’s Education Standards. They’ll make everything from soy lip balm to ice cream in a bag…and all ingredients will be locally sourced from their home state. Farming is big business, generating $5B in economic impact to the Bluegrass. So, when farming suffers, families suffer. But with over 77,000 active farms, your chances of finding a gold-mine of a farmers market to support are actually pretty good. There are currently

135 on the official list and the numbers are growing. A quick visit to the Kentucky State Fair in August would provide a condensed introduction into the bounty Kentucky produces every year, just in case you were wondering. In between her speaking engagements and the occasional parade, Molly is in full preparation mode for the national competition on September 10. Wardrobe fittings, personal training sessions, interview preparation, and the daunting task of packing for such an endeavor are at the forefront of her mind. Contestants compete in interview, swimsuit, and evening gown phases. Molly’s board of directors, led by Executive Director Justin Rains, have secured a prize package on top of all her scholarships that will have her camera ready and feeling like royalty. From competition gowns and interview suits to hair and nail services, Molly will set her best foot forward on the national stage in just a few months. Established in 1921 by local Atlantic City businessmen as a festival to extend the summer season, The Miss America Organization has since grown to become one of the most recognizable household names in America. A nonprofit organization, it is the nation’s leading advocate for women’s education and the largest provider of scholarship assistance to young women in the United States, awarding millions of dollars annually in cash awards and in-kind tuition waivers. Kentucky comes in with just under $2 million in in-kind scholarships and $46,000 in cash scholarships

J U LY 2 0 , 2 0 1 7 • V O I C E -T R I B U N E . C O M

to the recent group of women vying for the title. You can see now why the system is so popular with young women who value education and a chance to catapult their career at such a young age. It’s a truly remarkable opportunity. Amidst the glittering gowns and autograph signings, Molly is very clear about where she believes her good fortune comes from. One look at her social media accounts and you can clearly see that she’s a “Godgirl.” “I know it all comes from Him.” Her faith is central to her life and she doesn’t mind talking about it and the power of prayer. “The final day of competition, I woke up with this amazing sense of peace. I knew He had it under control. My family had been praying that, if it was in His timing…it would be mine.” And so it was. Wild horses couldn’t drag Molly from her agricultural awareness calling. Unless, of course she wins the title (and job) of Miss America. She catches her breath at the thought of it, ”Oh, my gosh! To be crowned would be beyond the craziest thing I could ever imagine. I feel so lucky just to get to go!” Who knows what will happen? Perhaps the seed that was planted in 2008 will yield even greater fruits in the very near future. Either way, you can be certain that Molly Matney will always be Kentucky proud. VT

A Journey of Hope By Mariah Kline | Non-Profit Profile

ouisville native Jesse Hawkins launched the Sober Voyager on April 16 of this year, the same day he celebrated three years of sobriety. While this organization has only been around for a short time, Hawkins is working through multiple avenues to spread awareness and compassion throughout the nation. Jesse Hawkins.

Sober Voyager was inspired by Hawkins’ own journey of recovery after he gave up drinking three years ago. He started by creating the Sober Voyager Foundation, a 501c3 that helps those who want to seek rehabilitation but cannot afford it. The foundation works with the Morton Center of Louisville, the place where Hawkins first sought help himself, to pay for the costs of treatment. Along with the foundation, Sober Voyager has a line of bracelets designed for family, friends and other loved ones of those who are working through an addiction. With each bracelet purchased, the buyer also receives one to give away. Wearing a bracelet allows a person’s loved one to show support on a daily basis, and gives the person in recovery a tangible expression of how far they have come. “I wanted something that could act as a reminder piece of not only where you are today but where you want to be in life,” says Hawkins. “I wanted it to be something you could physically touch and wear as a representation of your own journey or your support of someone else’s journey.” What sets Sober Voyager apart from similar organizations is that Hawkins is not only raising funds or selling a product, he’s also sharing his experience on a personal basis. He is currently on a mission to visit all fifty states and share his story and the stories of others who have both won and lost their battles with addiction. In each state, he is doing speaking engagements and pop-up shops in places where the conversation of addiction normally would not come up. As he connects with people at concerts, sporting events, festivals and the like, Hawkins is getting out of his own comfort zone and

J U LY 2 0 , 2 0 1 7 • V O I C E -T R I B U N E . C O M

showing others how they can seek help and live addiction free. “The scariest part of getting sober for me wasn’t giving up drinking or walking into rehabilitation,” he reveals. “It was more the thought of having to give up my friends or never being able to walk back into a bar or go to a concert. But I didn’t have to, and I want other people to know that they can continue to do the things they want to do and live how they want to live.” In addition to the foundation, bracelet business and traveling, Hawkins has also partnered with a number of local restaurants, including The Hub, Fork and Barrel and others to create a number of mocktails, coffee drinks and edibles. These items provide alternative choices for those in recovery, and a percentage from each item sold goes back to Sober Voyager Foundation. As Hawkins continues his trip around the country, he’s also looking forward to Spring 2018, when he will be partnering with Mint Julep Tours to put on a large scale fundraiser for the foundation. While plans are still in the early stages, Hawkins guarantees it will be a fun night that everyone can enjoy while supporting the foundation’s work with the Morton Center. If you would like to follow Hawkins’ noble adventure, you can find him on social media or view his journal on the Sober Voyager’s website. VT Sober Voyager sobervoyager.com @sobervoyager

VOLUNTEERS NEEDED IN 71 KENTUCKY COUNTIES TO REVIEW CASES OF CHILDREN IN FOSTER CARE

Showtimes are October 26, 27, 28 and November 2, 3 and 4 at 7:30 p.m. and October 29 and November 5 at 2:00 p.m.

Citizen Foster Care Review Boards in 71 Kentucky counties are seeking volunteers to make a difference in the lives of local children in foster care and other out-of-home care. The boards are in need of volunteers to review cases of children placed in care because of dependency, neglect or abuse to ensure they are placed in safe, permanent homes as quickly as possible.

In “Sex with Strangers” by Laura Eason, Olivia (Kate Bringardner) is a novelist seeking a quiet time to write at a snowed-in bed and breakfast when Ethan (Zach Meiser), a famous sex blogger, shows up unexpectedly, setting the stage for a suspenseful, erotic comedy exploring the ambiguities of our physical and online lives and values. The technical team includes Lighting Designer Keith Kimmel and Composer/Sound Designer Richard McGrew with the positions of Scenic Designer and Costume Designer still to be announced. Showtimes are March 29, 30 and 31 and April 2, 5, 6 and 7 at 7:30 p.m. and April 8 at 2:00 p.m.

The counties in need of volunteers to be trained soon are Barren, Bath, Bell, Boone, Boyd, Bracken, Breathitt, Bullitt, Butler, Caldwell, Campbell, Carter, Christian, Clay, Crittenden, Edmonson, Elliott, Fayette, Fleming, Floyd, Fulton, Grant, Graves, Grayson, Green, Greenup, Hardin, Harlan, Harrison, Hart, Hickman, Jefferson, Jessamine, Johnson, Kenton, Knott, Knox, LaRue, Lawrence, Lee, Leslie, Letcher, Lewis, Livingston, Logan, Lyon, Magoffin, Marion, Marshall, Martin, Mason, Menifee, Montgomery, Morgan, Muhlenberg, Nicholas, Oldham, Owsley, Pendleton, Perry, Pike, Powell, Roberts, Rowan, Simpson, Todd, Trigg, Union, Warren, Washington and Wolfe. Volunteers are not required to live in these counties. The Kentucky General Assembly created the state CFCRB in 1982 as a way to decrease the time children spend in out-of-home care. CFCRB volunteers review Cabinet for Health and Family Services files on children placed in out-of-home care and work with the cabinet and courts on behalf of the state’s foster children. The volunteer reviewers help ensure that children receive the necessary services while in out-of-home care and are ultimately placed in permanent homes. All volunteers must complete a six-hour initial training session. Potential volunteers are encouraged to apply as soon as possible so they may be screened and, if approved, scheduled for training in their area. Training sessions are scheduled for July 14 in Perry County, July 21 in Christian County, Aug. 18 in Rowan County, Sept. 15 in Hardin County and Oct. 6 in Fayette County. All potential volunteers must consent to a criminal record and Central Registry check. A recommendation is then made to the chief judge of the District Court or Family Court for appointment. THE LIMINAL PLAYHOUSE ANNOUNCES THE CASTS AND CREWS OF ITS 2017 — 2018 SEASON Artistic Director Tony Prince and Producing Director Richard McGrew are excited to announce the casts and crews for the 2017 — 2018 season of The Liminal Playhouse. This is the company’s third season and its first season since joining Bunbury Theatre and Pandora Productions as the third resident theatre company at The Henry Clay Theatre. In “Hir” by Taylor Mac, Isaac (Neil Brewer) comes home from the Iraq war to find that his mother Paige (Teresa Willis) has given up on all social conventions after his father Arnold (Michael Drury) has had a stroke, and his sibling Max (Megan Adair) has started transitioning from female to male. Described by the playwright as Absurd Realism, “Hir” is a thoroughly modern dark comedy about the strains and confusion of living in the midst of changing paradigms. The technical team consists of Scenic Designer Eric Allgeier, Lighting Designer Keith Kimmel, Costume Designer Shane Estes and Sound Designer Richard McGrew. Showtimes are August 31 and September 1, 2, 7, 8 and 9 at 7:30 p.m. and September 3 and 10 at 2:00 p.m. Winner of the 2011 Pulitzer Prize for Drama and the 2012 Tony Award for Best Play, “Clybourne Park” by Bruce Norris is set in a house in the same neighborhood as the one in Lorraine Hansberry’s “A Raisin in the Sun.” The first act is set in the 1950’s when the house is being sold to the neighborhood’s first African-American homeowners. The second act takes place fifty years later when the neighborhood has long since been historically African-American. The cast includes Russ/Dan (Clint Gill), Bev/Kathy (Heather Green), Francine/Lena (Michala Smith), Jim/Tom/Kenneth (David Galloway), Albert/Kevin (Robert Thompson), Karl/Steve (Ryan Lash) and Betsy/ Lindsey (Katherine Martin). The technical team consists of Scenic Designer Eric Allgeier, Lighting Designer Keith Kimmel, Costume Designer Lindsay Chamberlin and Sound Designer Richard McGrew.

In Philip Ridley’s “The Fastest Clock in the Universe,” thirty-year-old Cougar Glass (Remy Sisk) is celebrating his 19th birthday…again. Captain Tock (Brian Hinds) is throwing the party, and the only invited guests are Foxtrot Darling (TBA) and octogenarian Cheetah Bee (Laurene Scalf). The unexpected appearance of Foxtrot’s girlfriend Sherbet Gravel (Megan Adair) throws a wrench into the works and hilarity and tragedy ensue. The technical team consists of Scenic Designer Karl Anderson, Lighting Designer Keith Kimmel, Costume Designer Shane Estes and Sound Designer Richard McGrew. Showtimes are May 24, 25, 26 and 31 and June 1 and 2 at 7:30 p.m. and May 27 and June 3 at 2:00 p.m. Artistic Director Tony Prince will direct all four productions of these Louisville premieres. All performances will be at The Henry Clay Theatre, 604 South Third Street, Louisville, KY. LOUCITY FALLS TO FC CINCINNATI IN FRONT OF RECORD HOME CROWD Louisville City FC coach James O’Connor reiterated Saturday night that his team loves rivalry games, but the boys in purple could have done with a different result in front of a record crowd at Louisville Slugger Field. LouCity drew in 11,632 fans for a 3-2 FC Cincinnati victory as the visitors took the second leg of this year’s River Cities Cup. The attendance mark topped the previous high set in June of 2016 — when FC Cincy last visited — of 10,062. After Ilija Ilic booted in an eighth-minute penalty kick, it was all orange and blue. FC Cincinnati managed its scoring on just six shots for an efficient comeback win. “I want to thank our supporters, because our supporters were fantastic tonight — they really were,” said coach James O’Connor. “The energy the supporters had was great. I thought the atmosphere was fantastic. I just think that for whatever reason, we had a night where we made a couple of individual errors, gave away some really poor goals and were made to pay for it. “It becomes really painful because it’s against your local rival. It gets compounded even more when you do it against your local rival.” LouCity controlled 60.8 percent of the possession and set up its 12 shots off nine corners and 22 crosses. The chances didn’t translate to goals from the run of play, however. FC Cincinnati striker Djiby Fall equalized in the 16th minute before Harrison Delbridge knocked in the game-winning in the 55th off a corner kick. A minute after subbing in for Fall, Danni Konig, a recent FC Cincinnati acquisition from the OKC Energy, padded the lead. “Obviously we’re not pointing at players but I think they had probably three or four shots on goal,” said midfielder Guy Abend. “That’s the worst part. They just took advantage of their shots. To be fair, they scored three goals, so give them some credit for that.” LouCity’s only answer came in stoppage time. Off a corner kick, a deflection by an FC Cincinnati player resulted in an own goal at the death. A defeat marked LouCity’s first at home since July 30, 2016, a span of 14 USL games at Slugger Field. The club also dropped to third in the USL Eastern Conference standings on Saturday as, elsewhere, the surging Charlotte Independence won their sixth straight game.

OBITUARIES

obituaries Friedman, Julius

Julius Friedman died peacefully surrounded by friends and family, July 16 at Baptist Health Louisville. Julius Friedman is a hard man to pin down. As a graphic designer, photographer, artist, furniture designer and videographer, the man and his work defy easy description. Julius’ early work was posters for non-profit organizations: The Louisville Ballet “Toe On Egg”; “Fresh Paint” which shows stark, white eggs behind a row of red, yellow and blue yolks; and The Louisville Orchestra “French Horn Filled With Ice Cream”. He recently had a fifty year retrospective of his posters at the Frazier Museum. After his poster phase ended, he turned to photographic imagery of trees, water, flowers and a ballet dancer. These images were later printed on metal and fabric. His last

work was short videos that can be viewed on YouTube. Julius was born and raised in Kentucky and received a degree in graphic design from University of Louisville. He is a recipient of the Kentucky Governor’s Award in the Arts and his works are included in the permanent collections of the Museum of Modern Art in New York, the National Gallery of Art in Washington D.C., the National Museum of Poster Art in Warsaw, Poland, the Dansk Plakamuseum in Aahous, Denmark, the Brown-Forman Collection and the Marriott Hotel Corporation. The family would like to thank the doctors and nurses at Baptist Health for providing such wonderful care. Julius is survived by his sister, Carol Seifer (Sanford Abrams); his nieces, Caryn Steinert (Eric) and Melissa Cohen (Matthew); and his daughter, Kimberly

with Clemson and Florida State; even in down years, Louisville would have the opportunity to be a force in the conference and go to a decent bowl game. The first of those two selling points has played out as expected. Since UofL joined the ACC in 2014, no conference has produced more NCAA Tournament teams or NCAA Tournament wins than the ACC. In three years, the conference has sent four teams to the Final Four, had a representative in all three national championship games, and won the national title twice. The surprise -- a pleasant one if you’re looking at it from most angles -- has come on the gridiron. At last week’s ACC Kickoff (the name the league uses for its annual media days event), Florida State head coach Jimbo Fisher made national headlines by declaring that the ACC has “established ourselves as the premier conference in college football.” While it may have made Paul Finebaum-infused heads across the Deep South explode, Fisher’s statement was far more rooted in fact than hope. “Two of the last four national

Exceeding Expectations conferences. The ACC went a combined 10-4 in games against the mighty SEC, with Clemson’s national title victory over Alabama serving as the obvious headliner. Against the other three power conferences, the SEC was 31-9. Heading into year four, Louisville suddenly finds itself playing not only in America’s premier college football conference, but in college football’s most glamorous division. The ACC Atlantic has produced a national finalist in three of the last four seasons and two national champions over that same span. It’s also produced two of the last four Heisman Trophy winners, including the reigning honoree, UofL’s Lamar Jackson. There’s a positive side and a negative side to this unexpected strength. The positive is that Louisville’s weekly stage is suddenly much bigger than it’s ever been before, and its national profile much stronger. The negative is that the Cardinals can go 7-1 in conference play like they did in 2016, and if that one loss is to the wrong team, they can still find themselves not playing for a conference title. ACC football isn’t what any of us thought it was going to be four years ago. It’s much, much better. Now Louisville needs to be much, much better too. VT

phen Johnson outplay Lamar Jackson? Questionable. Did he battle Jackson to the end and come out with the win? Did he command the drive that led to the winning field goal? UNquestionable. In fact, which fumble-prone QB committed the more crucial turnover? All of which gave Johnson the rail position going into this season. He’d shown he could be a winner. Drew Barker has not yet shown that. On the other hand, Barker did lose his starting job because of an injury. Not fair? Even before he got hurt, Barker did not exactly fill Big Blue Nation with confidence last season. Except for a stunning first half against Southern Mississippi, he looked hesitant and confused. The coaches listed their three-deep last week and Johnson was the starting quarterback. No surprise. What is surprising is that Barker and redshirt freshman Gunnar Hoak are both listed on the second line, with the word “or” between their names, which suggests that, by whatever standards

against Southern Miss. One has to assume that Stoops and Gran will be using that time to evaluate both contenders. (All contenders, actually. Hoak had a good spring game, and hotshot freshman lefty Danny Clark is on campus, in uniform.) Isn’t that what camp is for? Especially when you have competition for a position? A key position? I’ve got to assume Barker will have his opportunities, somewhere in the process, to win the spot. By whatever criteria Gran and QB coach Darin Hinshaw value – poise, leadership, confidence, arm strength, accuracy, speed, tight spiral, throws an easy ball to catch, understands the plays, holds onto the ball, avoids interceptions, commands the huddle, is patient with his receivers, is impatient with his receivers – the coaches will be watching. Both QBs. All QBs. They’ll be seeing things we don’t always see. It’s Gran’s offense, and by September 2, he has to have a good idea of which quarterback in camp will run it the best. Not who the fans want, or what the various experts think. We’ve all heard him interviewed. This is not a wishy-washy guy. He knows what he wants. Whether Stephen Johnson takes the opening snaps, or someone else, it will be because Gran wants it that way. Not because of what’s fair. VT

Rondo, who is an NBA Champion and four-time NBA All-Star recently finished a one year stint with the Chicago Bulls. Russell on the other hand has found a new home with the Brooklyn Nets after playing for the Los Angeles Lakers his first couple of years in the league. When Bibby sits back and watches them throughout the regular season, he recollects what it took for them to get there and how much of their game reflects what he taught them. “They both have an incredible basketball IQ and can see the floor well,” says Bibby who coached Rondo at Eastern and Russell at Central. “They pass very similarly. They see the floor and that is the top attribute of a point guard; finding the best shot on the court whether that be for him or for other teammates. They make a pass that leads to a score, or they make a pass that leads to another pass that leads to a score. They have an ability to see two or three passes ahead in a play.” But what’s different is the role he played in both players’ lives in high school. When Rajon Rondo went to open gym as an eighth grader, it didn’t take long before Bibby knew he had a special talent and that soon the two would build a personal bond. So while the young eighth grader embarrassed the varsity guys, Rondo’s mother, Amber, gave Bibby her consent to “coach and discipline him” as he saw fit.

The relationship was a bit different between Bibby and Russell. He called it a “coach-player relationship,” suggesting that it was less personal, but nonetheless was a “great relationship.” It was Russell’s dad who was more instrumental in his decisions as to where he would play high school and college ball. He played under Bibby at Central for close to two years before transferring to Montverde and then going on to play at Ohio State, and finally being drafted by the L.A. Lakers. What I found to be most intriguing are the obstacles a high school coach may face when coaching elite high school talent that has

Rondo and Russell Share One Connection in Coach Bibby professional potential. “A lot of times Rajon and D’Angelo didn’t have to do all of the fundamental things on the court,” says Bibby. “They were so gifted and talented. The biggest obstacle was since they were so good, their heads were above the rest in practices and also in games. “The things I tried to instill in them were how to take care of your body, how to break down film, and how to be fundamentally sound because at the next level there would be talent all across the board,” he explains. “So what you try to instill in those players is the discipline in the fundamentals of the game, and that is the toughest thing to do for a great athlete and a great player. With Rajon being the triple-double machine that he is, filling up the stat sheets with rebounds and assists – hopefully he got that from me. With D’Angelo being the great point guard that he is, playing the game the right way, hopefully they got those attributes from me. I tell my players, combine your game with my game, and let’s make a great game.” While it’s true Rondo and Russell go headto-head when their teams play each other, I’m sure Louisville natives wouldn’t mind seeing a one-on-one game at Shawnee Park in both players’ own hometown. If it happens, at this point, Bibby would give the edge to Rondo. “They both are great players and gifted and incredibly smart,” he says. “Right now, you have to give the edge to Rajon. He has been in the league longer, he has an NBA Championship and is an NBA All-Star. But I think D’Angelo is going to be a future All-Star, get an NBA Championship and follow in Rajon’s footsteps.” VT

M. M. Does It Again

very Fourth of July from time immemorial, Mary Margaret Phelps has had a casual outdoor dinner party for her multitude of friends. She obviously has good connections because it has never rained on her party.

Partyline CARLA SUE

BROECKER “M M.” as she is known to family and close friends, has that welcoming Southern charm that folds people in. An invitation from Dunvegan Road is a treat. M M. and her late husband, banker Billy Joe Phelps, created a beautiful home and garden that is welcoming to guests. Guests gather mostly under the roofed, open back porch with dozens of hanging ferns. It overlooks a magnificent terraced garden and yard with pool and pool house. The pool is slightly elevated and placed toward the rear of the gardens. The gardens are lush and there is always something in bloom. The Silver Spoon took care of libations and prepared a delicious traditional Fourth of July buffet that included fried chicken, barbecued brisket, potato salad, corn pudding and red, white and blue trifle for dessert. Son Bill came up from his home on Nolin Lake for the evening. Also enjoying the evening were Rosemary and Jimmy Boone, Sally and Johnny Taylor, Norman Berry, Janet Falk, Adeline and Bill Hoagland, Kay Matton, Joyce Meyer, Lisa Stemler and Eleanor Goldberg. HARRODS CREEK The holiday weekend was also celebrated by Kathy and John Yarmuth with a “Summer Supper” at their home in Nitta Yuma. Family and friends showed up for an al fresco party on the terraces overlooking the wooded ravine behind their home. A small creek wanders back and forth down the backyard until it reaches Harrods Creek or the river. And the “infinity” swimming pool is gorgeous. Son Aaron came out from his town house on the waterfront in the city. John’s mother Edna was there, smiling and enjoying the family and friends. Terri and Steve Bass, Anchorage restaurateur Kevin Grangier, Susan and William Yarmuth, Bob Meade and lots of other friends enjoyed the evening as well. HEADIN’ FOR THE HILLS The Friendly Friday Group, (a group that traditionally gets together on Friday evenings – duh?), had a beautiful “going away” party for Eleanor Goldberg at Friendly Friday members Sandy and David Snowden’s magnificent home in Cherokee Gardens last weekend. Eleanor, who was recently widowed after being married to attorney Fred Goldberg for 46 years, is going “home” to the mountains. She is building a house there. Even though she left Hazard years ago, graduated from Stevens College and then the University of Kentucky, lived here, taught at Norton Elementary School and helped her late husband raise his four children, Hazard is still “home.” Eleanor has always been very involved in our community. She served for years on the original board of the Museum of History and Science, the Louisville Theatrical Association and was an active

member of the Woman’s Club of Louisville and Hunting Creek Country Club. Friends trot her out when they have Yankee visitors. She charms them all with her Eastern Kentucky twang, her mountain sayin’s and her humor. She loves Crown Royal on the rocks and a good story. Eleanor also calls it as she sees it! She’s no dumb bunny! Pam and John Anson, H.J.Redmon, Pat and Winston Church, Charlene Verdi, Ann and Jim Volt, Mary Margaret Phelps, Janet Falk, Kate and Jack Underwood, Kaye Durnell, Joanne Blacketer, Jean Boland, and Elizabeth Fenley all had a few “sips” and ate from a straining buffet table filled with BBQ chicken and brisket, potato salad, creamed corn, baked beans, deviled eggs, lots of salads and desserts you can gain weight from by just mentioning them. One wag who refused to be downhearted about her departure pointed out that her new house is going to be on a two-way street. Maybe she will come back for long visits. VT

Splash’n’Dash

Fun for the whole family, Norton Children’s Hospital’s summer event, the Splash’n’Dash 5K Run/Walk, will be held August 5 at the Big Four Lawn at Waterfront Park. To get some more info on this family-friendly fundraiser, we spoke with Norton Healthcare Chief Development Officer Lynnie Meyer, Ed.D., R.N., CFRE. What is the Splash’n’Dash? Norton Children’s Hospital Splash’n’Dash is a family-friendly fundraising 5K walk/run. Runners and walkers can choose to splash their way through a 5K course or take part in a kidfriendly 1K course filled with a fun and exciting splash zone. The event is on Saturday, August 5 at the Big Four Lawn at Waterfront Park. This is a new location this year! What can guests expect at the event? Splash’n’Dash participants can expect to get wet! The walk/run is fun, and we encourage families and teams to embrace the fun factor. Choose a theme for your team and dress up, sport your Splashin’ Fashion and most of all have a good time! In addition to the walk/run, the Just for Kids Zone will have fun activities. The location is NEW this year and will offer more space for splash-tastic water obstacles and more fun for the whole family – all while benefiting a great cause. Why is the event important for Norton Children’s Hospital and the greater community? Splash’n’Dash started with an emphasis on continuing our partnership with Michele Crockett and the Max Gilpin “Beat the Heat” Fund while at the same time there were other groups asking for avenues to fundraise for their specific area of focus such as cardiology, neurology services, neonatal intensive care unit, and others. So the concept of a family fun run evolved into a water fun run that can educate the community on the importance of heat

J U LY 2 0 , 2 0 1 7 • V O I C E -T R I B U N E . C O M

awareness and staying hydrated while also honoring Max and engaging all the other groups that want to raise money and give back to their area of focus. This is the only event through the Children’s Hospital Foundation where participants can designate where the funds they raise as an individual or team are given. How has the event grown over the years? We have seen tremendous growth with this event. The number of participants has grown each year. The inaugural year exceeded expectations with 1,000 participants. And the second year was even bigger with 1,500 participants. This is for both the 1K and 5K races combined. What makes this fundraiser different from others Norton Children’s hosts? The biggest differentiator for this event is that it offers opportunities for all ages and is something the family can do together. In addition to the splash zones and the Just for Kids activity zone, it also offers parents the opportunity to teach their children about giving back. We hear from a lot of parents who say, “Thank you, this provides me with an opportunity to demonstrate to my children how we can give back.” The money raised benefits Norton Children’s Hospital through the Children’s Hospital Foundation. And when a family, team or individual raises money, they can designate which department or service line they want the money to support.

Any tips for participants? · Register prior to the event – early bird special ends August 1. You can register at splashndash5K.org · Arrive early; parking and registration gets very hectic the closer to 9 a.m. Once you check in, visit the Just for Kids Zone before the 1K race begins. · Wear clothing that you don’t mind getting wet or dirty. · If you have a team, have a team theme; dress up and enjoy the event. · Follow our Facebook event page for ongoing updates and to get to know other participants. Search Splash’n’Dash 2017 on Facebook. Is it too late to get involved? There’s still time to join in the fun! Registration for the 5K before August 1 is $30 for adults and $15 for children 17 and younger. Registration for the 1K before August 1 is $20 for adults and $15 for children 17 and younger. Participants are encouraged to fundraise. This is a fundraising opportunity to support Norton Children’s Hospital. The unique opportunity tied to Splash’n’Dash is that you can designate your funds to benefit a particular service line or clinical area of the hospital.

We all know how special Louisville’s farm-to-table food scene is, but for those of us who prefer to drink our dinner, Brown-Forman has plenty of products that are locally sourced and come together to make a wonderful cocktail. Take for example the Coopers’ Cup, the recipe for which they have shared with The Voice-Tribune. Featuring Brown-Forman’s new Coopers’ Craft bourbon and the Kentucky staple soda Ale-8-One, it’s the perfect blend of strong and sweet. Take a look and consider serving it up at your next summertime soirée.

Coopers’ Cup INGREDIENTS 2 parts Coopers’ Craft Bourbon 1 part fresh lime juice Ale-8-One (roughly 6 parts) INSTRUCTIONS Combine bourbon and lime juice over crushed ice in a tin cup. Top with Ale-8-One and garnish with a mint sprig.

Redefining Dining Local By Remy Sisk | Tastes

hough the farm-to-table movement in dining is more popular than ever, with consumers more often prioritizing local ingredients and restaurants working to create new and innovative dishes that feature locally sourced items, NuLu eatery Harvest was one of the initial pioneers of this movement on Louisville’s dining landscape and has helped redefine what it truly means to eat local. When co-owner Ivor Chodkowski was formulating the concept of the restaurant, he knew there would be a heavy focus on local ingredients. Consequently, Harvest sources 80 percent of the food it uses from within a 100-mile radius centering around Louisville. “I think it makes the restaurant vital in a community sense, but I also think it makes it delicious making sure that ingredients are fresh,” he describes. “I’ll tell you, the excitement that happens in the kitchen when beautiful and new things come in – everybody gathers around to look at these tomatoes or this chicken or whatever it is, and they all sort of marvel over it. That’s really beautiful, and that sort of care that begins on the farm carries through the kitchen and I think it really shows on the table when folks come in and have dinner with us.” Portraits of local farmers adorn the walls of Harvest, and a map illustrating the proximity of the sources is displayed on the back wall. Thus when diners come in, not only will they enjoy a true Southern meal that showcases the best of Kentucky, but they’ll also be able to discover just how local the food is. “I hope we’re especially attractive to out-oftown guests because we offer such a focused Kentucky and regional menu, both with local ingredients and also with a really strong nod to Southern influence,” Chodkowski relates. And the influence even in the local sphere has been noticeable, as ever since Harvest opened more and more Louisville restaurants have placed a new focus on local ingredients. “I do feel like we got to where I wanted us to be, which is that other restaurants at least make a nod to local ingredients,” Chodkowski affirms, “even if they’re not participating at a high level – but I’m excited that there’s

J U LY 2 0 , 2 0 1 7 • V O I C E -T R I B U N E . C O M

a handful of restaurants here that are pushing hard and putting those things on their menu.” To continue that reach and influence, Harvest brought on Patrick Roney to the position of executive chef less than two years ago. Since then, Roney has been creating exquisite dishes that not only have dazzled diners but also positioned Harvest as a true culinary icon. His mantra as of late has been, “Act locally, think globally,” and he’s doing just that with a special currently offered during Friday, Saturday and Sunday brunch. The Lake Barkley silver carp nicoise is a traditional salad nicoise that swaps out the usual tuna for silver carp, an invasive fish in local aquaculture. “Nicoise salad has been one of my favorite things since culinary school – since I learned about it,” Roney says. “It’s really such a substantial salad and each ingredient speaks for itself. And it kind of speaks specifically for a time of year. … So when these ingredients start to flourish, it’s kind of a go-to salad for me. This is the only time of year I’d put this on the menu; the vegetables have to be at their peak of freshness and seasonality.” Elsewhere, Bar Manager McKenna Graham is putting a similar emphasis on peak freshness in Harvest’s robust cocktail program. The menu’s Old Fashioned constantly is changing which produce it uses based on what’s available and what will make the most delicious final product – currently, it’s peach. “We just try to think about what complements the spirits we’re using and think of new and interesting ways to show people how produce can be used with cocktails,” she

explains. Considering the future, Roney is looking forward to infusing the menu with more international flairs – the concept will stay Southern but will not be limited. “I think we’re taking more of a global approach,” he contends. “While we keep our Southern staples and that Southern comfort food, we’re really starting to have fun with using our indigenous ingredients and thinking of them in a global manner.” Whether you choose to eat or drink your dinner, Harvest is ready to prove to you how beautifully thriving the local food scene can be. By putting an emphasis on using ingredients from the region, the team makes the menu not only responsible but also spectacularly delectable in a completely unique style. “It’s very easy to look at a list of ingredients and say, ‘OK, I’ll take all these things and I want to do this,’ but it’s way more rewarding to have that season come and be a part of that season and utilize things that are happening seasonally,” Roney maintains. “And the relationship that you have with the community – your local artisans, farmers – is that much more rewarding. And I believe it makes true food – food that’s thought about, food that means something, food that has a purpose. Not only are we making good food, but we’re making good decisions about what food we’re putting on the plate.” VT Harvest 624 E. Market St. 502.384.9090 harvestlouisville.com

Showcasing Kentucky’s Roots By Graham Pilotte | Out & About

he summer harvest is rolling in, and folks in Henry County are ready to share the bounty. They’re inviting you to the Henry County Harvest Showcase, an annual event designed to introduce guests to the area’s agricultural community. With everything from hayrides to a true farm-to-table lunch, this is one late-summer event you won’t want to miss. Jakob Beckley, the event’s marketing coordinator, has grown up going to the fair. “We’re there to celebrate Henry County’s rich rural community and our deep agricultural roots,” he explains. “Everything is either made in Henry County or grown in Henry County. We have a farmers’ market, a craft market, some local businesses displayed – there’s just a lot of different things.” Beckley is especially excited to welcome Louisvillians and others who aren’t from his immediate area. “It really is a farm-to-table event – we’re celebrating our roots,” he explains. “You’re seeing the farmers’ market and food, COURTESY PHOTO

entertainment, machinery and equipment – getting the whole experience.” As for what to expect? “When you get off the interstate, the very first thing you’ll see are the cows in our fields – our fairgrounds are surrounded by farmland,” he explains. “Admission is free; we don’t even charge our farmers. It’s totally an event for us to celebrate our farmers and give them a day for business.” Many Louisvillians, he knows, will want to come check out the food. “Locally grown food is a big movement right now, healthy food without antibiotics or hormones. This is really one of those events,” Beckley asserts. “We have a lunch at the farmers’ market that’s really unique.” Local vendors are matched with farmers, so everything you’re eating is locally sourced. Visitors can explore the farmers’ market to create their own picnic – everything from barbecue and chicken salad sandwiches to homemade ice cream with flavors varied by the season’s harvest. “The food is the best part, for sure,” he says with a laugh. The rest of the event, however, won’t disappoint. “Our local high school band comes out in the morning to kick everything off,” Beckley says, “and we have a ham and eggs breakfast from our Chamber of Commerce. There are kids’ games, local music all day in our entertainment tent, and animal exhibits up in our agricultural barn. There’s anything you can think of in the realm of crafts and art – some

quilters, woodworking, a guy who makes his own leather belts.” The event also features hayrides and a petting zoo, a herding demonstration and an antique tractor parade. More information is located on the event’s Facebook page, and interested guests can watch the live WHAS broadcast at 7 a.m. the day of the event. Or, you’re welcome to see it for yourself. “Just head out on I-71 North,” Beckley advises. “We’re easy to get to.” He’s excited for this year’s event: “We’re lucky we have so many great partners. That’s what has sustained us for 18 years,” he explains. “You don’t see many events that have been going on this long. We have about 3,000 people, but it grows every year.” Beckley, and the others at the Henry County Harvest Showcase, are eager to welcome visitors to their area. For anyone who’s curious about exploring Kentucky’s agricultural roots, this farm-to-table fair is a great place to start. “We hope that people from Louisville will come out,” Beckley says genuinely, “that on July 29, instead of going to their local farmers’ market, they’ll come out to our farms.” VT Henry County Harvest Showcase July 29 Henry County Fairgrounds Free henrycountygov.com/showcase J U LY 2 0 , 2 0 1 7 • V O I C E -T R I B U N E .

‘Southern Sounds’ Is the Speed’s Celebration of Women in Southern Music By Minda Honey | Arts & Entertainment

et your jam on at the Speed on Saturday, July 22 for the museum’s “Southern Sounds: Women in Contemporary Southern Music” festival. The Speed’s “Southern Accent” exhibit has a strong music component, and the festival is just one of the many ways the museum is celebrating the songs of the South in conjunction with the exhibit. Miranda Lash, curator of contemporary art at the Speed Art Museum and co-curator of the “Southern Accent” exhibit, says of the exhibit’s strong ties to music, “Music is such an integral part of how we understand the South and how the knowledge about the South has been disseminated throughout the world. ... Given that a large number of artists in ‘Southern Accent’ were inspired by music and we have the Southern Accent Music Library as part of the exhibition, it seemed vital that we tie the Speed’s Concert Series into this discourse and celebrate innovative musicians at the same time that we are highlighting innovative artists.” How was the lineup chosen for the festival? “The Speed worked with a talented Nashville musician, Erin Rae McKaskle, lead singer of Erin Rae and the Meanwhiles, on crafting a lineup of six talented female singer-songwriters whose music has deep roots in the South,” Lash describes. McKaskle, who is currently on tour in Europe, thinks and feels deeply about music. “I love to see the nuances in today’s music that are subtle but traceable if you’re nerdy enough to look for them, like I am sometimes.” So she was honored to partner with the Speed. “We are so fortunate that the women in this scene and [Nashville] really champion each other and have each other’s backs, and the scene is so rich with talent it feels a bit like show-and-tell

to bring these musicians to Louisville for such a neat event.” McKaskle chose musical Jack-of-all-trades Kate Campbell for the festival because she grew up listening to her music with her mother and aunt. She’s also a huge fan of the other women she selected for the show: Soul singer Kyshona Armstrong, Appalachian-influenced Dori Freeman, ethereal desert rock hymn singer Thayer Sarrano and Kentucky crooner Kelsey Waldon.

ummertime means the return of RYE on Market’s free Back Porch Sessions. RYE, a restaurant located on Market Street in NuLu, is all about using seasonal produce from local farms and has been hosting the city on their back porch since June 2012. But this year they’re trying something new. They’ve partnered with Do502 to bring you the best local acts while partnering with some great arts organizations along the way. Do502 recently joined Louisville Public Media. I spoke with original co-founder Jeffrey Smith about organizing this summer’s sessions at RYE and choosing the right arts organizations. He said one of his first jobs in town was with the Louisville Ballet, “So I have had good relationships with the performing arts world for a while.”

Every cent raised will go toward supporting the arts organization of the month. The next session on Thursday, July 20,

The band has been described by the LEO’s Scott Recker as “experimental pop-rock.” Can’t make it? No worries. There will be three more sessions after that – August, September and October – and each session takes place on the third Thursday of the month. August features Small Time Napoleon, a swing band that revels in jazz standards. Their performance will bring out the crowds to support Girls Rock Louisville. September’s band is the electronic rock duo Beacons, who’ll be raising funds for the

Kentucky Opera. The grand finale show in October will feature one of Louisville’s most popular artists, James Lindsey presenting “VaRYEty” with charitable contributions going to the Louisville Orchestra. This monthly celebration of local, live music is brought to you by Heaven Hill Brands and sponsored by Evan Williams, Lunazul and Rhinegeist, so you can expect lots of fun swag like shot glasses and sunglasses too. There will be $5 drinks outside and a selection of eats. The festivities wrap-up by 10:30 p.m. every night, which means plenty of time to get a full night’s sleep before you hit the office on Friday morning.

LIFE

A Labor of Love By Sara Giza | Prestigious Properties

ike most working parents, Kentucky natives Leah and Jason Smith seem to have a full plate. Between having three young children and providing care to individuals at their Alternative Adult Day Services agency, they know a thing or two about being busy. Yet, with a little time and patience they’ve transformed their house into their dream home.

The 3900 square foot brick home boasts five bedrooms and four baths, with high ceilings and a walkout basement. Modern looking with unique elements, the home had clearly been loved by previous owners. However, it was a clean canvas when the Smiths purchased it—all the better to make it their own. The family spends most of their time together in the main great room that opens to the kitchen and they love the way it turned out. “It was bare bones when we purchased it and we were able to bring life back into it,” says Leah, who has a love of architecture and classic lines. They enlisted Jason’s uncle, a carpenter, to make the space stand out. He customized a beautiful fire place and columns, that lend themselves well to the open layout. Both add interesting focal points.

“I love classic, timeless design. Neutral colors, metal, burlap and a modern take on a farmhouse. I like the comforting feeling from a farmhouse but to mix it up a little,” says Leah on her design aesthetic. To achieve the balance, she utilized the help of designer Kelly Hunter, a consultant for Ashley Furniture. The use of beige and gray, the granite counters and white cabinetry of the kitchen, together add to the light and airy ambiance. The resulting coziness is enjoyed by all. Another favorite space to create was their daughter’s room. “I loved creating a whimsical little girl’s room, for as long as she’ll have it” says Leah, complete with the use of the color pink and a canopy. “With children three and under, our world revolves around kids and functionality.” The Smiths’ contractor used a barn door to customize a baby gate that looks as if it’s just part of the staircase and isn’t bulky like some of the ones for purchase. Big trunks conceal toys and hide clutter when it’s no longer play time. Leah’s grandfather, a carpenter, passed away before she was born. In their kitchen sits a wooden toolbox that he made. Today, it holds flowers as a rustic touch of décor, all the while providing a tribute to him. Close with their extended family, the Smiths enjoy entertaining with their loved ones. “We put a lot of blood, sweat and tears into this house but we love it,” Leah says of their finished home. From the looks of it, it was well worth the effort. VT

I’m more because you are trying to cut back on your alcohol consumption. sure that he and I were the Dear Abby It’s the truth. The alcohol you’re tryonly ones who knew. He ing to cut back on is theirs. passed away unexpectedly JEANNE ••• a few years ago. I still go to DEAR ABBY: My daughter PHILLIPS the place where we met and “Maria’s” quinceanera is next year. We invited her half-siblings to come. But her hung out together. In my mind, I see father’s current wife, “Elena,” refuses to allow it him walking in and speaking his last because Elena is a Jehovah’s Witness. Maria will words to me.

••• DEAR ABBY: After 33 years of what I thought was a near-perfect marriage, my husband walked out and filed for divorce. That was 12 years ago. Since then, I’ve done my best to move on and find my “next chapter.” I’m now in the process of downsizing to move into a smaller house. While going through my filing cabinet, I ran across some very sweet and touching love letters my ex had written to me – some of them just a few weeks before he left me. I am having a hard time deciding whether to throw them away or keep them. I know there’s no perfect answer, but any advice you could offer to help me make that decision would be appreciated. It’s a sensitive topic for me. — LOVE LETTERS IN TEXAS

How do I mourn for him without giving it away? He was cremated, so there’s no grave to visit. I end up in tears when I visit “our” place. I need all the advice you have to offer. — NEEDS HELP IN MASSACHUSETTS

DEAR L.L.: I’ll bet it is. How does reading those touching love letters make you feel? Be honest. If they bring back warm memories, hang onto them. However, if they have the opposite effect, do yourself a favor, dispose of them and continue looking forward into your next chapter. ••• DEAR ABBY: I live in a mobile park, and in the park is a group that collects money and runs fundraisers to help the low-income people who live here. They deliver one bag of food to about 10 families once a month. This group does not disclose how much money was collected – ever – and are very secretive about how much they have in their fund. Some of us who live here have raised the question as to how much money they are holding, but they refuse to give us any information. They say they are not a nonprofit, so they don’t have to report to the IRS. Is there anything we can do to make them tell us how much is in there? — MONEY MATTERS

DEAR NEEDS HELP: Please accept my sympathy for your clearly heartfelt loss. Ordinarily, I’d suggest you join a grief support group, but I’m afraid if you do, you might run into his widow if you live in the same area. It might help you to visit the place you met less often. Surely there are less painful places you can go to quietly reflect on your relationship. You might also consider discussing your feelings with a therapist or a trusted, nonjudgmental friend, because keeping these feelings bottled up is not healthy. ••• DEAR ABBY: There is a nice couple we know who make their own wine. They give us a couple of bottles a year and ask us to return the empties, which we are happy to do. We love good wine of all kinds. In years past, we have appreciated their wine gifts, although, to be honest, they have been of marginal quality. I usually end up using it for cooking. We just opened their last gift, Abby, and it is so awful I won’t use it even in cooking. My husband and I are now having a disagreement: He says, “Dump it and return the bottle with a thank-you.” I say, “Return the leftover wine (minus a 1/4 glass) and say how much we appreciate the thought but that it just wasn’t the flavor we drink.” I just don’t want them to waste their wine on us and give us any more, as they work hard to make it. Please advise. — NOT A LIAR IN COLORADO

be heartbroken that they won’t be there. Is there anything I can do to persuade Elena to let them come, or would it be overstepping my place? — PROUD MAMA IN KENTUCKY

DEAR PROUD MAMA: If your daughter’s half-siblings are being raised as Jehovah’s Witnesses, it would be against their religious beliefs to attend her quinceanera. While I don’t think it would be overstepping to talk with your ex and his wife and ask if their girls can come, do not be surprised or take it personally if the answer is still no. ••• DEAR ABBY: My wife and I have been married for 17 years. For the first 16 years, my wife would make me lattes without being asked. Last year, she announced she would no longer make any more lattes for me. When I asked her if she expected me to go the rest of my life without one, she said yes! Do you think it would be OK if I found another female to make lattes for me? Wouldn’t that woman be doing my wife a favor? Hint: I am not really talking about lattes. — NO MORE LATTES IN KOKOMO DEAR NO MORE LATTES: Before outsourcing your latte business, it is important that you find out from your wife why her attitude has changed so drastically. Has she lost interest in that kind of beverage preparation? Has making lattes become painful for her? Could there be other issues in your relationship that have made her less interested in giving you your favorite treat? If the answer to these questions is yes, perhaps she should discuss them with her doctor – or the two of you talk about them with a licensed marriage counselor. Hint: I’m really not advising you about lattes, either.

DEAR MONEY MATTERS: There absolutely is. Poll how many of your neighbors feel the way you do, and then, as a group, stop contributing money. If enough residents do that, the money will dry up and the fund will close. Because only 10 families need this kind of help, you and your neighbors should consider selecting families to help and do it directly. •••
