P H OTO B Y C L AY C O O K

I recently noticed an article from Vogue getting repeated shares on social media, so I did that thing where I avoided it as long as I could and then I caved and clicked thinking, “This many of my friends can’t be wrong!” The article was about wedding trends to avoid in 2017. I read on expecting to nod my head in agreement the entire way through. After all, this is Vogue—this is supposed to be the authority on taste and style. On the contrary, I was shocked at how much I disagreed with almost every single recommendation. The “seven top wedding planners” polled agreed that mistakes include, “naming your drinks,” “family-style dinners,” “all-white everything,” “casual shoes” and “food trucks,” among many others. Listen, my finger isn’t exactly on the pulse these days when it comes to weddings—my days of buying obligatory matching bridesmaid dresses are long past and I’m in the lull of life where I’m not witnessing nuptials regularly. So, maybe I haven’t seen these things repeatedly enough to have tired of them like, say, a wedding planner might. But, I think they all still sound lovely, whimsical and fun; and, most importantly, if they are important to or reflective of the couple planning the occasion, then they shouldn’t be second-guessed. The one archaic tradition listed in the article that I am in support of nixing? “Not Splitting the Bill.” Dowries are no longer all that women bring to the table of a union, so let’s once and for all nix the expectation that the financial burden of going to the chapel fall on a woman or her family. Whether they followed the Vogue strategy or wrote the rules for themselves, the three newlyweds featured in this week’s wedding Tonya Abeln issue got all the details just right. Subtle nods to sports, horses or country music made these celebrations unique, entertaining and personal, and it is an honor to share their enchanted stories and photos with you. We also took a turn in creating some fantasy bridal moments in our fashion story “Beautifully Betrothed,” styled by Alexandra Hepfinger and photographed by Clay Cook in the suites, hallways, entryways and rooftop of the classic Brown Hotel. Every nook and corner of the historic building seem to tell a story of romance that I think were captured in these extraordinary images. They say, “All is fair in love and war,” and if you are lucky enough in this life to find the first, then I think that should also apply to weddings. Ditch “the rules” and write your own story.

Red Carpet Romance

By Mariah Kline

K entucky native and Nashville star J.D. Shelburne married longtime girlfriend Amy Whitham on June 17. The couple shared their big day with 350 guests in a lovely Southern ceremony fit for a country love song. Amy and J.D. met in 2010 when he played a festival in Amy’s hometown of Madison, Indiana. A close friend of hers acted as festival chair and communicated with J.D. for several weeks prior about his performance while also secretly plotting to set him up with Amy. The matchmaker introduced the pair and they began dating shortly thereafter. After six wonderful years together, J.D. decided it was time to pop the question last Spring. “For a long time I put my music career first,” he says. “As we got a little older, I realized it was time and she was the girl I wanted to spend the rest of my life with.” J.D. wanted to do something special for Amy’s proposal so he hatched a plan to propose on the red carpet at the 142nd Kentucky Derby, a place where the couple had become recognizable guests for the past several years. He worked with news anchor Dawne Gee to capture the engagement, which aired on WAVE 3 and allowed the couple’s family members to watch it happen live. When it came time to plan the big day, Amy originally didn’t think a large wedding would be possible due to J.D.’s travel schedule. They initially thought of having a destination wedding with only their families, but decided to make it work and get married in the church where J.D. grew up in Taylorsville. Prior to the wedding, Amy and J.D. had a long weekend getaway with their bridal party in lieu of bachelor and bachelorette parties. While they originally planned to take a houseboat trip on Memorial Day weekend, bad weather interrupted their plans. Instead, the party rented a house in Lexington, where they swam, grilled out and enjoyed each other’s company before the big day. The couple’s rehearsal dinner was held at one of the couple’s favorites—Jeff Ruby’s Steakhouse. That night, Amy and her bridesmaids stayed in a riverfront suite at the Galt House and had their hair and makeup done there the following morning. J.D. and his groomsmen stayed at a friend’s home in Prospect, which featured a basketball court and a full-size batting cage for the guys to enjoy. Both Amy and J.D. agree that their favorite part of the day was the first look. As Amy walked down the aisle, J.D. turned very slowly to see his bride for the first time, creating a beautiful moment between the two for all of their guests to see. The couple wed at First Baptist Church, where his parents and grandparents were both married.

The location held even more significance because the church’s stage was the first place where J.D. ever sang in front of an audience. Though the couple’s vows were traditional, one element of the ceremony was quite unique. J.D. sang an original song called “Better Man” that he wrote about Amy in front of all of their guests. The reception was held at Claudia Sanders Dinner House in Shelbyville. Harkening back to their engagement, Amy and J.D. had a special red carpet entrance set up for their guests. A photographer from Progressive Photography took photos of guests in front a custom backdrop and had the photos printed off right away for everyone to take home. “Since we got engaged on the red carpet we thought it would be fun for guests to do that,” says Amy. “People thought it was really fun and they had the photo as a token to remember the wedding.” Amy did not hire a coordinator to help her plan the wedding, but did work with a decorator from Party Works to ensure both the ceremony and reception venues were elegantly adorned. Flowers from interior designer Jason Jennings ornamented the ceremony and reception venues. Amy found her gown at Bridal and Veil in San Diego, and her bridesmaids wore blue sequin gowns that fit perfectly into the sparkling atmosphere. Guests dined on fried chicken, carved pork loin, corn pudding and more, and finished the night with an elegant cake created by

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

Mert’s Cakes. J.D. had a special groom’s cake in the shape of a guitar crafted by Emily Wheeler Custom Cakes. Sounds Unlimited Productions provided the DJ and guests enjoyed dancing the night away with the happy couple. After they said “I do,” Amy and J.D. enjoyed a fabulous honeymoon in Mexico. They stayed at an all-inclusive resort in Playa del Carmen for seven relaxing days, and received a special surprise while they were away. While on their honeymoon, Great American Country played one of J.D.’s music videos nationwide. The video happened to be the one for “Better Man,” which Amy starred in. Though they were out of the country at the time, a friend called the couple on FaceTime so they could see it live. Fortunately for the newlyweds, J.D.’s busy schedule hasn’t interfered with their time together. Amy’s job with a healthcare company in Nashville allows her to work remotely so she can travel with J.D. and work from the road. This month J.D. opens for Easton Corbin at the Kentucky State Fair on August 25, and next month he will play at the legendary Ryman Auditorium in Nashville. Though the couple has only been married for a few weeks, they are enjoying it immensely and are thrilled to be formally husband and wife. “Honestly I’d get a little annoyed every year at the Derby when I would have to tell people my last name and it wasn’t the same as his,” Amy jokes. “It’s a good feeling to know it’s official.” Officially Forever.

A Sweet and Sporting Romance

By Mariah Kline

A beautiful love story and a perfect wedding day don’t always go hand in hand. For Katie Petrino and Ryan Beard, however, the soulmates managed to achieve both. Katie is the daughter of UofL Football Coach Bobby Petrino and Ryan is an assistant coach at Western Kentucky University. The story of the couple’s romance and their delightful summer wedding is touching enough to warm even the coldest of hearts. Katie and Ryan met in August 2014 at a pre-football season luncheon for the Louisville Cardinals. Ryan was in attendance because he worked as the quality control coach for the team. He previously worked with Katie’s dad at WKU, but the two had never met. Ryan ended up sitting at a table with Katie and her family, and the two immediately hit it off. “There were a few seats left but he randomly picked the seat next to mine,” she says. “Though we’d just met, we talked the entire time.” They shared an instant connection, but it wasn’t the right time for them to get together. A few months later, however, Ryan asked Katie out and they spent their first date at Jeff Ruby’s Steakhouse. Ryan had already accepted a job coaching with Northern Michigan University so he and Katie spent the next six months maintaining a long distance relationship until he returned to Kentucky for a job at WKU. The two dated for over a year and got engaged on December 30 of last year. Ryan proposed in Orlando while Katie’s entire family was there attending the Buffalo Wild Wings Citrus Bowl game. The Petrinos own a house near Lake Nona Country Club, and it’s the location where Katie and Ryan spent their first vacation together early in their relationship. Ryan had a fun day of golfing and activities planned for his future wife, leading up to the proposal, but sadly she came down with bronchitis and had to spend the day resting. Nevertheless, Ryan managed to make the proposal happen by talking Katie into watching the sunset with him on a dock by the lake, a tradition the two shared on their previous trip. As they stood on the dock, Katie unknowingly began the proposal by telling Ryan that the

previous year with him had been the best year of her life. The next thing she knew, he was down on one knee asking her to marry him. “He told me he wanted me to be the only girl to ever see him down on one knee,” she says, “which was incredibly sweet.” Katie’s parents knew the engagement was coming, and much of the family had gathered at a fan event for the bowl game that evening. Katie and Ryan walked into the room and were able to share the good news with her entire family. Since there are very few weeks in a year where a football coach has the free time for a honeymoon, the couple set their date for July 1, 2017. With only seven months to plan their dream day, most brides would have been overcome with stress. However, Katie works for the Petrino Family Foundation with her sister Kelsey, and is used to coordinating large events for the nonprofit. The wedding was a welcome challenge for the sisters, their mom and Ryan of course, who, Katie says, was there to assist at every step. “Ryan and I did so much of this together,” she says. “I don’t think any guy has ever helped his fiancée as much as he helped me.” The bride and groom didn’t hire a full-time wedding planner, but they did hire a month-of coordinator, Melissa Jurich, who worked with the couple to ensure the final event went off without a hitch. When it came time to choose venues, Katie and Ryan both knew they wanted a church ceremony. Both share the Catholic faith and love the look of high ceilings and stained glass found in old Catholic churches. They stumbled upon their reception venue while searching for a rehearsal dinner spot at the Brown Hotel. Manager Meghan McNeill showed the couple the hotel’s Crystal Ballroom, and they knew immediately that its elegant atmosphere was exactly what they wanted. Leading up to the wedding, the couple had two engagement parties, one in Louisville and one in Bowling Green. Katie spent her bachelorette party weekend with her girls in Miami, while Ryan and his guys went to Chicago. For the rehearsal dinner, Ryan’s family arranged an evening at the Louisville Boat Club. A cocktail hour before dinner was held on the lawn, where a string quartet played and guests reveled in the perfect weather that the night offered. At dinner inside the club, loved ones took turns giving toasts to the happy couple.

The next morning, Katie and Ryan got ready in separate suites at the Brown Hotel. Katie and her bridesmaids all purchased their dresses from Rebecca’s Wedding Boutique. The bride and groom had 10 bridesmaids and 10 groomsmen, creating a hectic morning of styling and dressing everyone. The ladies had their hair done by Matt Harris, makeup by Kae Robino and nails done the previous day by Cali Nails. Katie’s matron of honor was her sister Kelsey and Ryan’s best man was his father Doug. The pair shared their first look at one another on the Brown’s gorgeous rooftop. Both the bride and groom played sports in college (Katie golfed for UofL and Ryan played football for WKU) and thought they would be immune to the usual wedding day jitters. But both agreed that they were nervous all morning until they laid eyes on one another and their anxieties vanished. Katie and Ryan said “I do” at St. Boniface Catholic Church downtown and were married by Father Mike Williams. Flowers from Country Squire Florist adorned the church and the ballroom. After the ceremony, guests enjoyed a cocktail hour back at the Brown while the wedding party took photos. At the reception, they were introduced as each member of the party danced their way into the ballroom. Katie’s dad gave a welcome speech and led the group in prayer before dinner was served. Guests dined on grilled flank steak, roasted French cut chicken, garlic mashed potatoes, boursin and cheddar fondue over cavatappi pasta and several other delicious dishes from the kitchen of the Brown. Dessert included a gorgeous wedding cake crafted by Virginia Rankin at Mert’s Cakes, as well as choices of buttercream, chocolate or banana cake with delectable fillings. Guests spent the evening dancing to the sounds of Tony and the Tanlines, and Katie says the dance floor was packed the entire night. They also played around with a photo booth from Derby City Selfie and donned glowing necklaces to add to the celebratory

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

atmosphere. After hours of dancing, they enjoyed sliders and pizza rolls for a late night snack. Katie also incorporated special foods to surprise her new husband. After each football game he played in high school, Ryan’s mom would bring him cotton candy. Katie brought out servings of the treat during the late night snacking and included it with the guests’ wedding favors. She also had a groom’s cake decorated with the jersey number that he, his brother, his dad and his grandfather all wore during their football careers. Katie and Ryan had a sparkler send off and departed from their reception in a Rolls-Royce Silver Cloud provided by Royal Transportation of Louisville. The car took took them to 21c Museum Hotel for the night before they left for their honeymoon. The newlyweds spent their seven-day getaway in St. Lucia at the Sandals Grande St. Lucian Resort where they enjoyed ziplining, horseback riding and a boat cruise that led to a volcanic mud bath. Looking back on the wedding day, Katie feels nothing but joy and gratitude. “The customer service at the Brown was fantastic,” she says. “All of our vendors did a great job and our wedding coordinator was amazing.” A fairytale romance and a magical wedding came together seamlessly for these two lucky individuals. As for the wisdom she would pass on to future brides, Katie emphasizes focusing on the big picture. “Remember why you’re planning the wedding,” advises Katie. “A lot of people get really stressed out, but if you remember that you’re planning it because you’re marrying your soulmate, you’ll have fun with it. And on your wedding day, just simply enjoy it for yourself. Don’t get carried away in what other people are thinking or if everything is going as planned. We focused on enjoying ourselves and we had such a blast.” VT

Love Comes Full Circle

By Kristie Hicks Crenshaw

Aromance nearly six years in the making was beautifully celebrated on the elegant grounds of Hermitage Farm in Oldham County on June 3, 2017. Olivia Naber and Taylor Stethen exchanged wedding vows amidst 380 guests from all over the country, as close friends and family stood by their side. It was sweet, it was fun, and it was nearly as perfect as a day can be for two people in love. The fact that Olivia’s first job was as a horse groom at Hermitage with her sister Julia ten years ago made it a full-circle moment for the bride and an obvious choice of venue, with its sweeping horse farm views and picturesque Southern setting. Her parents’ farm sits across from Hermitage Farm, so it all felt very much like home to the blushing bride. When talking to the couple about each other there is an immediate sense of genuine love, joy and purpose at having found one another. They both seem equally amazed by their wonderful life and the families that have supported them. The energy is undeniable. The couple first met at a fraternity party in the fall of 2011. It was Olivia’s first Greek social event as a student attending the University of Louisville’s Speed School of Engineering. She didn’t know who to talk to. Her girlfriend looked around and said,”Talk to him,” motioning to one handsome Taylor Stethen standing across the room. They quickly hit it off and soon became an item. The two shared a desire for knowledge, a strong work ethic and supportive families, one from Kentucky and the other from Indiana. As long as they had been together, the proposal was, oddly enough, a surprise. It was December 20, 2015, and the couple went for a casual and crisp walk before dinner. “We were walking on the Big Four Bridge from Louisville, across the water to Indiana. I was rambling on and said something about it being almost

five years and no ring. He said, ‘Let me stop you right there,’ and got down on one knee. I was shaking. He was so close to the edge, I thought he was going to drop the ring in the river. I can’t even remember what he said…,” the excitement of the event is still palpable in Olivia’s voice. He did not drop the ring in the river, and she did say, ‘yes.’ They continued to walk, hand-in-hand, across the bridge where Taylor had arranged for both of their families to be waiting on the other side for a celebration dinner at The Bristol. The happy couple was toasted amidst a loving family and gorgeous views of the Louisville skyline, the city where they met. The Walking Bridge will forever be known as the link bringing the two families together. The front porch of the main house at Hermitage served as the altar, with Father Terry Bradshaw officiating the ceremony. The bridal party numbered twelve in all, dressed in an array of sky blue, ivory and beige. The sister of the bride, Julia Naber, was maid-of-honor and Austin Stethen, the brother of the groom, stood as best man. Pumpkin, the bride’s miniature horse of ten years stood close by in a garland of flowers. The bride carried a bouquet of roses and ranunculus as stargazer lilies, pink peonies, roses and ranunculus adorned the bridal party. Flowers filled the tent and lined the tables as well, all from the creative talents of Josh‘Ross Schrimsher. The bride wore a gown by Spanish designer Pronovias in ivory lace and dark beige. It featured a Chantilly lace underlay, guipure lace overlay, and was a fit and flare silhouette with a cathedral train. It incorporated shoulders with lace and illusion as well as a back with buttons, lace and illusion. She found her dream gown at Rebecca’s Wedding Boutique and it was simply ethereal. Taylor recalls his “first look” moment with Olivia: “On the wedding day, there were a couple moments that really hit me. When I first saw her…she looked like an angel, all in white…it was an emotional moment for me. I hid it well, though,” a smile in his voice. “Seeing everything, all of our efforts…an engineering degree, medical school, all of the months of planning…come together with all of these people that came to see us get married. There were at least 200 people on the dance floor dancing to music from The Louisville Crashers, having fun. It was a great day.”

A particularly emotional moment for Olivia was seeing her parents dance to “Free” by the Zac Brown Band. “I was dancing with Taylor and I saw my parents and then my grandparents and it was just a really beautiful moment with my family.” Her grandmother had suffered a stroke and was unable to dance, so her mother danced with her paternal grandfather. Family was a central theme throughout every step of the relationship and the wedding day was no different. Of course, all of these tender moments were expertly captured by photographer Sam Cox while a photo booth, provided by Marty Goldsmith, gave guests an opportunity to be silly, sweet and absolutely hilarious on their own terms, giving the bride and groom a visual guestbook and plenty of reasons to smile about the day and the people in it. Guests enjoyed The Jake Groves band during the cocktail hour and were “called to the post” for the reception by the Churchill Downs bugler where they dined family-style on Southern favorites from Gracious Plenty Catering, all under beautifully-lit air-conditioned tents from Bluegrass Rental on the side yard of the home. The cake was a three-tiered confection by Pam Dietz with Lady A Cakes. Each tier had a signature cake: lemon with lemon puree, strawberry with strawberry puree and vanilla with raspberry puree, all beneath a delicious buttercream icing. Additional

delights of cupcakes, cheesecakes, macaroons and bourbon balls fed the sweet tooth of family and friends. Comfy Cow ice cream was at the ready outside the tent to cool off young and old alike. Olivia recalls, “There were a lot of life events happening at once. He’s starting a residency, I’m transitioning from living with my parents and seeing them every day to happily living with Taylor. It was a nice, big, sweet wedding and I was absolutely giddy.” The day was serious and ceremonial at times, but laced with joy in all of it. “It was reverent and we acknowledged these big changes, but how could I not be giddy on that day?” The couple honeymooned in the Mayan Riviera at the El Dorado, an all-inclusive resort, where they finally caught a reprieve from the demands of the multiple responsibilities they had juggled for so many years. The couple now resides in Cincinnati while Taylor completes his residency and Olivia furthers her profession in engineering. Still many life changes lie ahead for the young couple. Wouldn’t it be wonderful if they come full circle once again and make a return to the Derby City? “Ultimately, that’s what we both want—to lay down roots in Louisville. Taylor may do an extra year in a fellowship, but that’s the eventual goal,” Olivia confirms. No doubt, when that day arrives, Louisville will welcome them home with open arms. VT

business briefs WATERFRONT BOTANICAL GARDENS RECEIVES $1 MILLION DONATION FROM SAM SHINE FOUNDATION Botanica, Inc. has received a gracious donation of $1 million from the Sam Shine Foundation, a charitable organization founded by area businessman and philanthropist Sam M. Shine, to advance development of the Waterfront Botanical Gardens. Mr. Shine is founder, president and owner of Samtec, Inc., a $40 million corporation headquartered in New Albany, Indiana, that manufactures electronic connectors. A lifelong New Albany resident, Mr. Shine graduated from Indiana University in 1955 with a bachelor’s degree in business, majoring in marketing. Including the $1 million donation, Botanica has raised $5.7 million for the first phase of the project. In addition to the $5.7 million, Botanica has an endowment of $1.8 million. The total estimated cost of the project is roughly $50 million. Completion of the project will depend on how quickly the remaining funds can be raised. The initial phase will include the Graeser Family Education Center (sponsored by Nancy and Emil Graeser), education gardens (including an edible garden, water filtration garden, pollinator garden and natives garden), a woodlands garden pathway connecting the site to Beargrass Creek, a driveway and 75 parking spaces. This phase of the project will cost an estimated $6.2 million. The Graeser Education Center will include programming space for school students and a 250-person event space. The building is projected to open in Spring 2019. A groundbreaking ceremony for the project is scheduled for September 15 at 10 a.m. on the future site of the gardens, located at the intersection of River Road and Frankfort Avenue. Elected officials, religious leaders, students and community supporters are among those expected to attend. The event is free and open to the public. It was also just announced that Waterfront Botanical Gardens is the recipient of a $375,000 grant from the Kentucky Energy and Environment Cabinet to invest in new and upgraded stateof-the-art pollution controls that will reduce pollution, save energy and protect public health and the environment. This project will focus on sustainable building and environmental education, will provide event space and will impact neighborhood revitalization, tourism and quality of place for the citizens of Louisville and Southern Indiana. Additionally, the Center for Non Profit Excellence has named Waterfront Botanical Gardens as this year’s Pyramid Award winner in the Art of Vision category. The awards will be presented at the Center’s annual conference in October. KENTUCKY SELECT PROPERTIES LISTS NEARLY FOUR HUNDRED ACRE FARM IN OLDHAM COUNTY Kentucky Select Properties, the top selling 100% locally-owned and independent real estate company serving Metro Louisville, has announced that Principal Broker John Stough and Agent Logan Ormerod are preparing to list a rare, extremely sizable property in Oldham County, Kentucky. At just shy of three hundred eighty-nine total acres adjoining Harrods Creek, “Lavin Bloodstock Farm” began as a much smaller allotment, but over the years has grown to include a successful, working horse farm (home to two Preakness winners, a Breeder’s Cup winner and countless stakesperforming thoroughbreds), as well as a family compound with two separate homes. The first is a stunning, circa 1815 Federal-style home called “Lawless.” This estate has been improved upon by the current owners and has nearly doubled in size since its original construction. At nearly seven thousand square feet, “Lawless” boasts 4 bedrooms, 3.5 baths and an impressive tree-lined drive leading to its entrance.

to submit your business brief email rsisk@redpinmedia.com designed by A. Hays Town, Jr. of Baton Rouge, Louisiana - a second generation architect and master of the Louisiana low country style whose influence on Southern architecture can be seen throughout the United States. It features 4 bedrooms, 3.5 baths, Louisiana 2-inch-thick heart pine floors, hand-hewn Canadian white pine beams and a low country design with numerous porches. Notably, the bricks surrounding the home’s many fireplaces date to the pre-Civil War era, and are reported to have been taken from a smoke house on the Old Tapawingo Plantation in Henry County. Lavin Bloodstock Farm adjoins Harrods Creek, with grounds including a mix of both woods and open fields as well as horse barns and stables. Ideally suited as either a private retreat or equestrian paradise, this one-of-a-kind property presents a rare opportunity for continuous acreage, already-constructed luxury homes and a 50-year legacy in the thoroughbred industry. Price available upon request. The property may be purchased in its entirety, or offers may be made for the individual homes and surrounding acreage.

KEVIN GRANGIER AND BELLE NOBLE ENTERTAINMENT GROUP ANNOUNCE SEVENTH DINING CONCEPT: ITALIAN UPSCALE CASUAL RESTAURANT WILL BE LOCATED IN HOLIDAY MANOR Kevin Grangier and Belle Noble Entertainment Group, LLC, have formalized the company’s plans to locate its seventh experiential dining concept at 2210 Holiday Manor Blvd in Holiday Manor Shopping Center. Grassa Gramma will offer authentic northern and southern Italian fare in an experiential environment, consistent with Grangier’s current concepts The Village Anchor, The Sea Hag Pub, Le Moo Fine Steak House, Blue Moo Supper Lounge, Kevin’s PICNIC and PICNIC Office Catering. Grassa Gramma is loosely translated in Italian to “Plump Grammaw”. The approximately 7,000 sf restaurant and bar will be located at Holiday Manor shopping center in the space formerly occupied by Emperor of China for 30 years and will seat approximately 250. It will offer authentic northern and southern Italian fare, including house-made pastas, sauces, pizzas, breads and pastries. The restaurant, expected to employ 100, is scheduled to open early 2018. “I’m thrilled to bring to life what I believe will be the most authentic Italian dining experience in Louisville,” said Belle Noble Founder, President & Chief Experience Officer Kevin Grangier. “My love for Italy and Italian food will be infused at every level of this long-anticipated project.” Grangier, who founded Belle Noble Entertainment Group in 2010 following a successful 20-year career in consumer product brand development, marketing and communication, is the creative inspiration behind Belle Noble’s now seven brands, including Le Moo Fine Steak House which was recently named by Food Network as one of the top 25 best places for steak in the U.S. Grassa Gramma’s dinner entrée prices will range from $15-27; lunch from $12-16. A 1,000- bottle Italian wine inventory will serve as the foundation of the restaurant’s beverage program. Long-time New York and local Italian restaurant veteran Tarek Hamada has been named general manager. Hamada currently serves as sr. manager and maître d’ at Le Moo. Hamada formerly served as manager for local Italian restaurant Volare from 2004 to 2016, and with New York’s popular Italian restaurant Pearl Room from 2002-2004. “I’m thrilled to return to the Brownsboro Road corridor and to the community I know so well,” Hamada said, “with a customer base I respect and love.”

Radcliff is gone, and now one of the primary issues for Bobby Petrino is finding another back who opposing defenses will be forced to respect in the same way.

The most likely candidate throughout the offseason to replace Radcliff has been senior Jeremy Smith. The California native has seen significant action in each of the past two seasons, and averaged 6.7 yards per carry in 2016. Smith, however, has also shown a troubling propensity for fumbling, and is known as more of a power back than the explosive type of player who makes the read option work. The man currently on top of the depth chart at running back is one who has never played the position full-time. Reggie Bonnafon came to Louisville as a quarterback, earned a starting job at the position as a freshman, learned new positions on the fly as a sophomore, and then moved to wide receiver as a junior. Now he’s focused completely on being a running back, a spot where Petrino hopes he can get the ball into the hands of one of his most dynamic athletes more frequently. It’s exciting to think of an athletic freak like Bonnafon

serving as Louisville’s every down back. It’s also a little worrisome to think about that role going to a guy who’s never played the position full-time before. Senior Malik Williams, sophomore Trey Smith and freshman Colin Wilson should also figure into the position battle, which will be the most interesting to follow all August. 2. IS THE OFFENSIVE LINE GOING TO BE BETTER? Louisville led the nation in scoring offense last season, but the unit’s production dipped off dramatically in the second half of the year. The biggest reason for that was poor play from the offensive line, which was especially noticeable in the team’s one-sided losses to Houston in the penultimate game of the regular season and LSU in the Citrus Bowl. Three of the starters from that offensive line are gone, which is good news when you think about how poorly they performed at the end of the season, but bad news when you remember that the other linemen on last year’s roster couldn’t beat those guys out for playing time. Louisville fans hoping

for a stronger performance up front will put their faith in Mike Summers. The offensive line coach who enjoyed so much success under Bobby Petrino in Petrino’s first stint at UofL is now back for round two. Summers has a trio of experienced players in Geron Christian, Lukayus McNeil and Kenny Thomas, but it will be on him to find the other pieces that fit from amongst the hoard of unproven and youthful talent at his disposal.

3. WHAT DOES LAMAR JACKSON HAVE IN STORE FOR ACT III? It has been an extremely rare occurrence in any era for college football to have a reigning Heisman Trophy participating in the sport. It’s still almost unfathomable that it’s the Louisville Cardinals that get to enjoy the phenomenon for the next four months. Jackson put up unheard of numbers as a sophomore in 2016 and entertained the entire country while he was doing it. How much better can he be as a junior? Will he try too hard to impress NFL scouts? Is he really going to play that much more under

The Lakeside Experience

Ever since its inception in 1928, the Lakeside Swim Team has been a source of community pride for the city of Louisville. Lakeside has produced many Olympic, Pan American and college swimmers over the years, and their success has continued to mount. The team has been committed to excellence, dedication and hard work as each team member is afforded the opportunity to reach his or her full potential as an athlete and as an individual. I had a Q&A with Coach Mike Deboor, Lakeside’s swim coach, and Cole Brown, one of his emerging swimmers who will be a senior at St. X next school year, to gain their perspective on their experiences and why the program has been successful. COACH MIKE DEBOOR What have you enjoyed most about coaching at Lakeside? “It has to be the kids. Just like any coach or teacher, we are motivated by seeing young people be happy and successful. I’ve been lucky enough to have some world class swimmers as well, and highlights are having three Olympians and a huge number on the US National Teams. But daily it’s that a majority of the kids are willing to work and at least try to be their best. I still enjoy seeing the really young ones and their excitement.” How have you been able to produce great athletes? “I think through hard work, I feel I work very hard and that gets the kids to want more. I

have high expectations and very little pleases me so I think that drive leads the swimmers to want more. I feel I am very good with understanding technique and what gets a swimmer to move through the water well. We’ve been blessed with some very talented swimmers as well - that always helps, I also feel I relate easily to kids and understand them. I think through experience and then the kids wanting to live up to the tradition which drives them to excel.”

overly excited I think they push to try and see me get excited so they’re always expecting more.”

How you have seen him grow? “Cole is just steady and consistent in his work. Everything he has accomplished he has worked for.” What intangibles have you seen in him that perhaps haven’t been revealed in other swimmers? “Talent, work ethic and a desire to make a sacrifice and reach a high expectation or satisfaction level.” SWIMMER COLE BROWN Describe your experience swimming at Lakeside. “My experience at Lakeside as a swimmer could only be described as something I wouldn’t trade for the world. I’ve come to know my teammates and coaches as family and know that I’ve made relationships that will remain for years to come. Yes, the practices can be painful, but that’s one of the reasons why Lakeside is the best in the state and one of the best in

the country. Seeing myself and my teammates improve over the years has been an amazing journey and I’ll carry these memories with me for the rest of my life.” How has Lakeside helped you to grow as a swimmer? “Without Lakeside I know that I wouldn’t be nearly the swimmer that I am today. This team has instilled in me traits that I not only use in swimming, but also in life. The hard practices have taught me how to be resilient, my teammates have shown me how to be there for others in hardship and success and my coach, Mike, has taught me how to overcome any obstacle thrown my way and use it to be an even better athlete.” What skills will you be able to transfer to high school competition? “Over the years, Lakeside has instilled in me a number of skills such as perseverance,

teamwork and a mindset that is optimistic. I not only apply these skills to the pool, but also in the classroom. Lakeside has prepared me to stay on track with my work and make sure it’s to the best of my ability, work well with others on group projects and most importantly, have fun while doing it. High school competitions go by very quickly so it is important to learn from a bad race and be ready to bounce back and kick butt on the next race. Lakeside has taught me to appreciate the failures alongside the successes because we learn from them when we fail and no one should take that for granted.”

SPORTS

Let’s talk about Cole Brown. What have you found to be unique about him? “Work ethic! He is a great teammate, very hard worker and really has a deep desire to be his best.”

Are you planning to swim in college? If so, how does Lakeside prepare you for the next level? “I do plan on swimming in college. Throughout this exciting recruitment process, Mike has guided and encouraged me. I sat down and had a one-on-one meeting with Mike and he explained to me how to have a good conversation with a coach, told me what schools could be a good fit for me and we talked about what schools I was interested in and what we could both do to make that happen for me. Mike wants the world for his swimmers and it is an honor to be coached by him. He has gone to great lengths to make sure that his swimmers are enjoying the sport and the recruiting process.” VT

It turned out to be a week of non-stories, except maybe local phenom Romeo Langford getting hurt and barely playing, instead meeting the media every day and saying that playing for Cal was pretty good, but he’s not ready to declare. And there was a week of silly talk about the pending Summer Rookie League matchup between De’Aaron Fox and Lonzo Ball, much of it filtered through Ball senior’s mouth. It never happened. First Ball got hurt, then Fox got hurt, and everyone went on to the next sparkling object. Which was speculation about whether a team of ex-Wildcats in the NBA could beat the Golden State Warriors.

Of course, the next group of Kentucky basketball players is always grist for the Silly Season mill. And, in July, there were news reports and photo ops of this year’s squad working out at Commonw—oops, Kroger Field. Based on a group picture, Sacha Killeya-Jones looks like he’s bulked up since last we saw him, some time in January. And Tai Wynyard looks svelte, coming off his strong performance in Egypt for the New Zealand team. It was hard to see Wenyan Gabriel in the picture. Brad Calipari looks the same. Mostly, though, I had little idea who the new guys were. I recognized Quade Green; he’s shorter than the rest. And we saw a lot of Kevin Knox over the summer. Hamidou Diallo, too, of course. But it will take some time to become familiar with all those individual faces and uniform numbers as they suit up for the Serious Season in November. It always does. Which one is Jemarl Baker and which one Shai Gilgeous-Alexander? Of course, as we were getting comfortable with which one was Wall and which one Bledsoe, which one was Lyles and which one Towns, which one was Andrew and which one Aaron, the seasons zoomed by and soon the players were gone. But there’s always a “next John Wall” arriving on campus – and always a “next Randall Cobb” – to feed the Silly Seasons before the real seasons kick in once again. VT

llen Timmons is one of Louisville’s premiere hostesses. She loves to entertain and cooks interesting and delicious meals. Many of her food ideas come from her numerous trips with her daughter and son to remote and exotic parts of the world.

In addition, she is a supreme designer of flower arrangements. Many fine parties have had her unique, natural floral services. Last week she celebrated her 75th birthday with a big dinner and dance party with the Don Krekel Orchestra at the Highlands Community Center on East Breckinridge. Never heard of it? That is part of Ellen’s charm as a hostess. She is sooo creative! Ellen is a fantastic cook but this time she left that chore to Doug Gossman and the Bristol. A wonderful and imaginative buffet stretched across half the multi-purpose room which has a stage and must have doubled as a gymnasium at one time. The invitation had a photo of Ellen (the world traveler) in a “conga line” with dozens of other women. They, and Ellen, were in Asian-inspired dresses with silver horned head ornaments and native musical instruments marching along in the sand in front of an ancient wall in God knows where! Among the multitude fueling the celebration were Sally and John Taylor, Ben Small, Michael Judd, Barbara Partlow, Monette and Bill Beam, Sandy Gulick, Ann and Darryl Wells, Kathy Hensley, Philip Koenig, Becky Masden, Shelby Robertson, Fran Jasper, Jim Voyles, Brenda Light, Nana Lampton, Jane Welch, Henry Heuser, Sis Wilson, Louise Timmons, Betsy Vaughn and another hundred plus friends! Everyone loves Ellen. She is one of the most caring people in town. It was tribute to her friendship and love of life that at least a hundred people turned out to help her celebrate her 39th birthday (again). NEED SOMETHING TO DO? Mint Julep Tours has launched two new urban adventures – a sightseeing tour of Louisville landmarks called Discover Derby City and a beer tour of the city’s best craft breweries called Brew in the Lou. Since 2008, Mint Julep Tours has shared what makes Kentucky great with thousands of locals and tourists through engaging tours and Southern hospitality. Each half-day guided excursion is led by a tour leader in one of Mint Julep Tours’ comfortable vehicles. PHOTOS COURTESY OF CARLA SUE BROECKER

Starting August 18 and running through November, Brew in the Lou and Discover Derby City are fun and educational introductions to Louisville’s authentic and unique Partyline places and people. These new public tours compleCARLA SUE ment Mint Julep Tours’ current full-day bourbon BROECKER tour offerings, which take travelers to three Kentucky distilleries every Thursday, Friday and Saturday year-round. Whether you are a beer lover or are beer curious, the beer tour will take you to Louisville’s best beer as you spend an afternoon hopping between breweries and taprooms! Whether you’re a hop-head or passionate about porters, there’s something for everyone along the way. You’ll visit three breweries for tours and taste flights at each stop with insight from a ‘brew guru’ in between. With sensory experiences, behind-the-scenes access and brewmaster meet-and-greets, you’ll learn the craft and commitment behind the city’s finest beers. Brewery partners vary by day and may include Against the Grain, Great Flood, Goodwood, Apocalypse Brew Works, Falls City, Monnik or Mile Wide. The cost is $79 per person, which includes guided transportation with a brew guru, three tours with tasting flights, pretzel necklace and brewery swag. Not into beer? Well on select Sundays and Thursdays from August through November you can go deep into Louisville’s history and heritage on a sightseeing tour! Each four-hour tour travels past more than 50 local sites like Whiskey Row and the city’s Cast Iron District, Falls of the Ohio and its stunning skyline view, historic homes in Old Louisville, landmarks of hometown heroes like Muhammad Ali, and colorful murals in up-and-coming neighborhoods Butchertown and NuLu. The tour leader will share fun facts and in-depth details when you explore sights old and new on this urban adventure. The cost is $59 per person and includes guided transportation with the tour leader and either a bourbon chocolate truffle tasting at Art Eatables (Thursday and Friday tours) or a visit to the Kentucky Derby Museum (Sunday tours) and walking tour of Churchill Downs.

SPOTLIGHT

rankfort Avenue’s fun foodie event is upon us for the 25th time and one of Louisville’s hippest streets plans to celebrate this anniversary accordingly. With such a wide array of cuisines and ethnic styles represented from the River to St. Matthews, this tasting really does offer something for every palate. We spoke with long time Chair of the event Randy Blevins about what to expect on this special anniversary year.

Happy Anniversary! Congratulations on your success over the years! Tell us about the special year that you are celebrating and how that will factor into this year’s Taste of Frankfort Avenue? The Taste of Frankfort Avenue turns 25 this year and we definitely want it to feel like a celebration. The Taste has been a key factor in the growth and success of businesses along the Frankfort Avenue corridor. We are looking to invite everyone who has had a hand in the Taste over the years to this very special celebration on August 13.

Taste of Frankfort Avenue can never get through all of the samples by the time the event is over. But I know there are some troupers out there who can. We hear your VIP experience was very popular before and is “back by popular demand.” What are the details of that option? You’re right, this was a big hit last year. It’s called the Brown-Forman Sip and Swig On Stage. We transform the Eifler Theatre Stage into a VIP Lounge that allows guests to sneak away from the crowd with their samples. We’ll have special cocktails and food tastings that will not be available to the general public along with music and soft seating for socializing. The cost for this experience is $100 and it includes a raffle ticket. Your raffle sounds like an incredible deal! How does that work? For $25 you can buy a chance to win a basket of gift cards to incredible Frankfort Avenue businesses, restaurants and retail. The value of this package is usually around $2,000 so it’s a great prize. Purchasing a raffle chance is a great way to support the event if you can’t attend since you do not have to be present to

What is a regular ticket price to Taste of Frankfort Avenue and what will that gain you access to? Tickets are just $45 and that gets you samples from over 20 restaurants and other shops along the corridor including Bourbons Bistro, Butchertown Social, Caffe Classico, Comfy Cow, Crescent Hill Crafthouse, Fond, The Grape Leaf, Heine Bros, The Hub, North End, Porcini, Varanese and VINT - just to name a few. There’s so much food! I myself

win. These are available online at CliftonCenter.org. What do the funds raised from this event go toward? The funds for the Taste of Frankfort Avenue go to support the amazing programs of The Clifton Center organization, including our Louisville Heritage Programs of world music and dance coming up in September and October. Any tried and true tips or strategies on the best way to approach a tasting event of this magnitude? Most people try to starve themselves days before the event. I say stretch your stomach out the week leading up and then fast on Sunday. And if you want to try everything without busting your gut, share your samples with a partner! I know there are always individuals and sponsors who ensure the success of events like this. Who do you want to give those props to? I would like to thank our presenting sponsor Brown-Forman for their generously delicious support over the years. We are also incredibly grateful to D. D. Williamson and Metro Louisville’s District 9 Citizens for their support of this year’s Taste! Other sponsors include Nazareth Home-Clifton, Old National Bank and Strothman and Company.

Louisville’s First Interactive Wedding Show By Minda Honey

ay yes to the dress, the venue, the caterer, the photographer and more at Louisville’s first interactive wedding show! You’re cordially invited to join Made Weddings at the Henry Clay Sunday, August 20 from 2:30 to 6 p.m. for a full-scale mock wedding ceremony, cocktail hour and reception.

Guests can expect to see models dressed in bridal and groomswear from Modern Trousseau and Couture Closet, six reception tables setup for display and three featured floral designers who will deck out two tables each. Attendees will see, taste, hear and experience the many services and goods wedding professionals can bring to their special day. The show is the brainchild of local makers and organizers of Made Market, Allison Barker and Jordan Kavuma. About Made Market, Barker who designs and sells jewelry under the brand Milovala, says, “Louisville as a city was ready for curated, quality handmade goods.” After the success of Made Market and developing several vendor relationships around town, Made Weddings was a logical next step. Although it’s been 10 years since Barker walked

down the aisle, she still remembers having to plan a wedding based on word-of-mouth and wants today’s brides and grooms to feel like they have good options: “I would have loved the inspiration side of Made Weddings. Getting to take my time and think through all of the details would have been so helpful.” Kavuma, who got married three years ago and runs Thistle and Thread Design with her husband Paul, was able to turn to Pinterest and Instagram for ideas, but felt like having access to true wedding professionals would have made those ideas better executed. She says that Made Weddings gives couples an opportunity to plan a wedding that’s tailored to their tastes versus what’s trending. Kavuma believes that working with wedding experts gives couples the confidence to do something they like, but would be too shy to do themselves out of fear of not executing their ideas properly. Made Weddings also makes the planning process less overwhelming, says Kavuma. “Our goal is to simplify the wedding planning process while also not taking away from all that it can be. So you can still have that really special day without losing nights of sleep throughout your engagement season.” Couples are invited to attend Made Weddings together, but they also expect to have several bridal parties or mom and maid-of-honor groups at the event. The event is created to make every guest feel welcome, and it’s worth noting that there are several vendors who are

members of the Fair Vendors Alliance. Tickets are being sold in two tiers: participant tickets and companion tickets for anyone accompanying the bride or groom. An optional Master Class, for an additional fee, will be led by Maggie Heely of Weekend Wedding Warrior with a light brunch included. Laura Brewer and Hannah Schiller of Riley + Ko Calligraphy and Design are also excited to show their wares at Made Weddings. When working with couples, “Getting to know the couples we’re working with is one of our favorite parts. It’s easy to go onto a website and choose an invitation or sign that thousands of people have used (and there’s nothing wrong with that!) but when everything is made for you specifically, it just feels right!” One of Made Weddings’ featured photographers is Tabitha Booth. Booth pulls inspiration from many different sources to give her photos an aesthetic that goes beyond the tried-and-true pretty wedding day photos. She loves helping adventurous, outgoing clients capture their special day in the right way. “I love being able to create moments for my couples to reflect on the meaning of the day, always pointing it back to their love for one another!” VT Made Weddings The Henry Clay August 20, 2:30 to 6 p.m. made-weddings.co

Brow Wow By Kris Ritcher

have very sparse, uneven brows. I’ve used a variety of products and purported fixes (including every pencil, powder, pigment, gel, and stencil I could get my hands on at Sephora, tinting, shaping via waxing, mascara wands, pots of goo, and oh-somany more online products) promising to give me full, natural looking brows with minimal effort. They all produced less than appreciable results. Microblading was my last-ditch-effort treatment that could potentially change my brow life. I chose Body and Brow Boutique for my service, where owner, Kate Ashton, has been my waxing wizard for ages now. Ashton attended microblading training in Atlanta and completed 140 hours of classroom and hands-on training prior to offering the service to her clientele. When I asked her what her favorite part of the microblading process is, Ashton told me it’s “seeing the client’s reaction when they see their new, semi-permanent brows. I really love taking the journey and seeing the end result and emotions.” And emotional it was, for me. After Ashton conducted a consultation with me prior to my service and explained in detail what I should expect during my appointment and throughout the healing process, she began my microblading. A mere 40 minutes later, when I sat up, and Kate handed me a mirror, I was honestly too stunned to speak. My eyes welled with tears, and I just stared until I was finally able to utter some expletive indicating my disbelief. On my face were two perfect brows, in the same hard-to-capture color as the hair on my head. Multidimensional,

thick in all the right places...I finally had the brows I’d wanted for nearly 20 years. I couldn’t resist announcing via various social media outlets that I’d just had my eyebrows tattooed onto my face, and compliments and questions started flooding in. Let me do what I can to answer some common questions I got during the week following the reveal of my new brows: How long does it last? Contingent on the aftercare and maintenance you commit to, the results can last between 18 to 36 months, with only occasional touch-ups or perfecting sessions required. What is the cost? Microblading is an investment that you wear on your face. Various salons have their own pricing structure, but cruise their websites for detailed pricing information. How does it work? Microblading is a manual method of cosmetic tattooing specifically for eyebrows. It is performed using a very fine sterile hand tool to deposit pigments into the epidermis. The hair strokes

appear crisp, very fine and extremely natural. Did it hurt? Everyone asked me if it hurt. Now, pain is relative, and I may be the wrong person to answer this one, as I have had more non-cosmetic surgeries than you can shake a stick at, but I found the experience less painful than a bad sunburn. And any discomfort I did feel was whisked away with every utterance of “Oh, they look so good!”, and “Wow! You are going to love them,” from Kate along the way. Do you love it? I love my results beyond words. My two major mirror shocks came when 1) I woke up and caught a glimpse of myself, with perfect brows already in tact, and 2) seeing my reflection when fresh out of the shower, with my towel turban on, and yet...perfect brows still sitting pretty. There are multiple salons in the Louisville area now offering microblading, so do your research. Ask questions. Get to know your technician. Jessica Francis Yniguez, who performs the service at J. Michael’s salon in St. Matthews, wants those about

to embark on their perfect brow journey to know that, “in a day two and three of healing, your brows are going to look a bit darker and thicker than the day you got your service, but that’s just your body’s natural way of healing, and your brows return to fine and precise within just a few days.” VT

The Perfect Project By Sara Giza | Prestigious Properties

hen Katie and Bryan Seger outgrew their previous home, they began searching for a place to make their own. As a senior manufacturing engineer at Santec, Bryan has a love of building things and taking on challenges. Meanwhile, Katie is an elementary school art teacher who minored in design in college. Together, they were ready to put their skills to good use.

The Segers found their ideal project in this 1955 built brick house. The house has 2,400 square feet, three bedrooms and two bathrooms. The corner lot came with a lush backyard and offers a sense of privacy, all the while being within close proximity to the school where Katie teaches.

“We bought the home from the original owners and really wanted a fixer-upper,” says Katie on the purchasing of their home. “We wanted a home we could grow into and make our own. We both really love to take on projects.” The couple loves the openness of the space and that the kitchen opens to both the dining room and living room. They kept the original French doors that pair with plentiful windows to maximize light. “We restored all of the hardwood floors that were carpet and re-stained them to keep some of the history of the house,” Katie says. With a passion for design, the couple decorated the home themselves. Katie describes her design aesthetic as urban farmhouse with a modern flair. The home is filled with furniture she has restored herself, making for unique pieces. She enjoys taking antiques and modernizing them. For the color scheme, they utilized cool tones and neutrals. “I love soft blues, gray tones and white,” says Katie, noting the use of some darker blues and grays in other rooms

like the study. Textured touches contrast and create points of interest.Katie whitewashed the brick side porch and added restored pieces of furniture, creating a space that is great for reading or having a drink. “The built in bookshelves highlight our interests and hold things we’ve collected over the years,” Katie says of some of their cherished décor items, many of which were obtained while traveling and all of which tell a story. Above the mantel sits a gorgeous painting of a horse. “It was passed down from my great-great grandfather and was made in 1888,” Katie says, noting that his horse was actually bred in Louisville. The cherished art piece is as much a nod to Kentucky as it is a sentimental item. While the couple doesn’t currently have children, they purchased the home with plans of growing their family. That being said, they frequently enjoy hosting friends and loved ones at their house. “We do a lot of entertaining,” says Katie. “We’re both the oldest in our families, and both families live in the area. We host an annual Derby party and holiday parties.” Other than having a main contractor, Katie and Bryan did everything else on their own with help from their families, making the project all the more personal.

being born on Christmas Day puts her in good company. And as to her being “stiffed” when it comes to receiving presents, consider doing what other parents have done: Choose a date in June and celebrate her HALF-birthday. Dear Abby ••• DEAR ABBY: I am a gay man. My friend “Brian” and I have known JEANNE They now want to move each other for 10 years. We dated for PHILLIPS Grandma into a trailer in our a while, but realized we are better off backyard! I am totally against it, as friends. We have lived together for the past and have voiced my opinion loudly. several years and are now considering getting My husband is stressed out and isn’t capamarried because my job has better benefits. My ble of saying no to his parents. I have a feeling question is, is a marriage of convenience legal? they are going to move forward with this plan — GOING TO THE CHAPEL? regardless of my objections. I feel completely disrespected in my own home. Any advice? DEAR GOING: Marriages of convenience — DISRESPECTED IN OHIO have been happening since the institution of

DEAR COLLEEN: Of course you are right. The woman’s question wasn’t about etiquette. It was about child safety. A large number of readers besides you agreed my perspective was off. I have heard all of you loud and clear, and I apologize. I SHOULD have advised: “You are responsible for your child’s welfare. Part of assuring her safety involves asking whether weapons are on the premises and, if so, what safety precautions have been taken. (The same is true for prescription drugs, swimming pools, caustic chemicals and foods to which your child is allergic.) You should also ask if the children will be under parental supervision at all times. If anyone feels concern for your child’s safety is presumptuous, do not allow your child to play there. Suggest instead that the children play at your house.”

DEAR DISRESPECTED: You have a right to be respected in your home. If you don’t want it turned into a “family compound,” that’s your prerogative. Put your foot down and tell your husband that his parents living there was all the compromise you are willing to make. If he can’t summon the strength to tell his parents “NO!” then you will have to do it for him. If that doesn’t put a stop to it, ask a respected friend or religious adviser to mediate. ••• DEAR ABBY: My husband and I endured months of trying and multiple trips to a specialist before we finally conceived our daughter. My due date was Dec. 23, and I worried throughout my pregnancy that she would be born on Christmas Day. Lo and behold, on Christmas Eve I went into labor and our precious baby girl joined us early Christmas morning. Looking back now, I wouldn’t change a thing. I know it’s silly to worry because we have a happy, healthy baby girl and feel very blessed and lucky. But how can I respond to people — strangers included — when they say how “sad” it is that my daughter was born on Christmas and that she will get stiffed on presents, and maybe I should have timed my pregnancy better? — BLESSED IN NEW YORK

DEAR ABBY: I am a pediatrician and a mother. Your advice to “First-Time Mom” about gun safety runs counter to the recommendation of the American Academy of Pediatrics as well as numerous gun violence protection groups. Research shows that guns are present in one in three homes, and that one in three of those guns is kept loaded and unlocked, posing a risk to children. This is why I routinely recommend that parents inquire about the presence of guns and storage methods at the homes their children visit. I also urge them to discuss with their CHILD the importance of never touching a gun and immediately notifying an adult if they come across a gun or are shown one by another child. — JESSICA MOWRY, M.D.

EAR ABBY: My in-laws live in an apartment above our garage. It wasn’t my idea. It was a compromise with my husband.

DEAR BLESSED: If anyone is so insensitive as to imply that you should have timed your pregnancy differently, perhaps you could put them in their place by responding that you feel lucky to have gotten pregnant at all. Then tell them you wouldn’t change a thing because

marriage was invented. That said, however, this is a question you should address to a lawyer to make sure that if you decide to marry Brian, you’ll be going to the chapel instead of going to the hoosegow for insurance fraud. ••• DEAR ABBY: I am a Yale-trained pediatric nurse with a post-master’s as a psychiatric nurse practitioner. I respectfully ask that you retract your answer to “First-Time Mom in New Jersey” (June 21). I’m concerned your response will encourage other mothers to buy into the incorrect assumption that it’s “impolite” to ask questions that ensure their child’s safety. You should have encouraged and empowered “First-Time Mom” to politely ask about the presence of weapons in the other parents’ homes, and if so, how they are stored. It’s important information for her to have. If she has every playdate at her house and refuses to go to another home because she’s afraid to ask about gun safety, eventually the other mothers will pick up on the fact that she doesn’t trust their child-rearing capabilities, but won’t know why. If these potential friends don’t have unsecured firearms, or if they do and they are properly and safely stored, your advice will prevent healthy, honest friendships from developing, which will socially isolate her. How will she ever ensure a break for herself by allowing and encouraging her child to socialize at another trusted mother’s home she knows to be safe? Your advice will only isolate “FirstTime Mom” further and put her and her toddler at great risk. — COLLEEN M. SULLIVAN, RN, MSN, CPNP

Read on for more perspectives:

DEAR ABBY: Probably the toughest call a cop has is a shooting where one child gets ahold of a loaded, unsecured gun and accidentally kills his sibling in child’s play. As an adjunct professor in criminal justice, I ask my students how many of them know someone who was involved in a gun suicide, homicide, assault, accident or other crime. Typically, one-third of the hands go up. Parents should be able to politely ask whether a gun is in a house where their children regularly play. Sometimes the owners are not as responsible as they should be. — CHESTER J. KULIS, ILLINOIS •••

PUZZLES

pets of the week Jango is a four-month-old Hound mix who came to the Kentucky Humane Society from another shelter. She’s adorably lanky and long--all paws and legs. She’s a puppy, so she’s still learning all the things that will make her a great dog. She needs an active family, one who will take the time to teach Jango her manners and help her become the best dog she can be. Could it be you? Jango is spayed, micro-chipped and up-to-date on her vaccinations. Come see her today at our adoption center in the Springhurst Feeders Supply, 9485 Brownsboro Road. For more on Jango or any of our adoptable pets, please call 502-366-3355 or visit kyhumane.org. Looking for a quiet companion to fill your home and heart with love? Meet Lyla! Five-year-old Lyla is a stunning Domestic Medium-hair cat looking for a loving family. Lyla found herself at the Kentucky Humane Society when she was transferred from an overcrowded shelter. Now that she’s with KHS, she can’t wait to find the perfect home to spend her days. Lyla is a shy girl who doesn’t always show her best self when you first meet her. She’s been through a lot in her five years of life and will need time to learn how to trust and love again. Could you be the patient person she’s been longing for? Lyla is spayed, micro-chipped and up-to-date on all vaccinations. Come meet her at our East Campus, 1000 Lyndon Lane. For more on Lyla or any of our adoptable pets, please call 502-3663355 or visit kyhumane.org.
