SNACKS IN SACKS LOCAL ORGANIZATION IS FEEDING THE HOMELESS IN A CREATIVE WAY Writer / Mallory F. Wright Photography Provided
Several years ago, a working wife and mother had a passion for helping others and wanted to instill that same compassion in her own children. In just a short time, she realized how that passion would evolve and how many lives it would impact. One evening Trisha Drake, a preschool teacher, invited her close friends to her home in an effort to share an idea with them. Drake asked each of them to grab some non-perishable snack food items from their pantry, or swing by the grocery and pick some up on the way to her house. Soon, food items ranging from granola bars, sausages and snack cakes to peanut butter crackers, beef jerky and fruit cups were sprawled across her kitchen table and floor. Drake’s idea was starting to come to life. Often the winter season brings people inside, eager to warm up to a big pot of chili and sip on hot chocolate, but not everyone has a home to go to and not everyone has a warm dinner. Some don’t have food at all. That’s where Drake’s idea started - serving Metro Louisville’s homeless community. That evening in Drake’s kitchen, Drake and 6 / MIDDLETOWN MAGAZINE / AUGUST 2021 / TownePost.com
her children, along with her friends and their children, sorted all the items and put together snack bags to be handed out at the homeless camps. By the end of all their sorting and packing, they had completed 60 bags. The following day, Drake took the bags to Pastor Darryl Glass, who is heavily involved with a local organization called Street Reach, for assistance in delivering the bags to those in need. Glass, who leads Street Reach and visits the camps almost daily, was happy to deliver the bags. Street Reach has around 15 members who help minister to the streets, specifically those experiencing homelessness, on a regular basis. When Street Reach members went out to deliver the snack bags that Drake dropped off, Drake was astonished to find out that all the bags were delivered and there weren’t any remaining. It hit Drake hard that the need for those bags was more dire than she imagined. She knew she needed to do more, and she felt a calling. Throughout the next several weeks and months, Drake spread awareness about the homeless population in Metro Louisville and encouraged others to explore how they
could feed the homeless, and in turn feed the soul. Many of her friends, colleagues and family members wanted to join in. Snacks in Sacks was quickly formed - an outreach organization that meets every six to eight weeks and packs bags to be delivered or handed out to those experiencing homelessness or food insecurity. According to the 2016 Annual Census Bureau for Metro Louisville, “6,373 unduplicated homeless people were served between October 1, 2015, and September 31, 2016, which is a 5.4% decrease in the number of homeless people last year.” Often, the homeless flood areas under overpasses, seeking

people’s lives are affected by these outreach programs.” It’s not just Street Reach or Snacks in Sacks making an impact either. Several other organizations are working to improve Metro Louisville’s homeless population such as Hip Hop Cares, Keep Louisville Warm and The Forgotten Louisville. the organization turned to virtual events. Snacks in Sacks created an online wish list and supporters sent deliveries of snack food items that were assembled into bags by families and small groups. A February 2021 challenge for families to make bags at home brought in more than 1,500 bags. In March of 2021, Snacks in Sacks announced a partnership with Jefferson County Public Schools’ Ahrens work transition program. Ahrens faculty and students incorporated snack-bag making into their classroom activities and made more than 2,400 bags in April and May. Despite the challenges posed
by the pandemic, Snacks in Sacks is well on track to have a record year, with more than 5,000 snack bags made so far in 2021. Through word of mouth and the Snacks in Sacks Facebook page, the outreach program has gained attention and more awareness than Drake or Glass could have ever imagined.
Snacks in Sacks has evolved into a vital program that is fostered through humanity. The simplicity of being human and helping others through acts of compassion can go a long way. While many bags have been assembled and distributed, there are still thousands of homeless individuals in need. Not everyone is reached, and there are those who fall through the cracks, but perhaps with more acts of compassion, we can serve more and make a difference.
“I was amazed at the raw, honest, vulnerable people living in the camps,” Glass says. “I thought I would be ministering to them, but For more information about Snacks in Sacks, in turn they actually ministered to me.

“We’re aging too, and we started to see our bodies and facial features changing, which is strange because we feel like we just graduated college,” Pennington says with a chuckle. “We wanted to increase our knowledge to better our self-care, and pass that on to others.”
She also recalls a client who was selfconscious about her frown lines. After just one session with Pennington, the client said, “My frown lines are gone and my daughter says I look happy now.”
BüDe Aesthetics is all about giving clients a renewed confidence.

“People are telling her that her face is glowing,” Fee says. “She said she feels and looks younger.” Another woman reached out to Pennington to simply say, “I love, love, love my lips!”
“I love to hear from happy clients,” Fee says. “It’s nice to make people feel good.” This pair of working moms is already passing along that important message to their children. Recently a neighbor asked Pennington’s 5-year-old daughter what her mom did for a living. She answered, “My mommy makes girls feel better about themselves.”
Cantwell’s path towards playing football, and eventually coming to CAL, happened in somewhat of a roundabout way. In fact, if it hadn’t been for his mother, he most likely wouldn’t have played football at all. “My mom’s side of the family is heavily into football,” Cantwell says. “My grandfather played in college and my mom’s brothers, my uncles, played in college too. My dad has never played football. He was a big baseball guy, so I played T-ball from an early age. That was our thing - baseball.” Cantwell’s father went out of town one week on a business trip, so his mom decided to intervene. “I had been begging my parents to let me play football,” he says. “My mom signed me up while he was gone. When he returned home, she said, ‘Your son is going to play football.’ I think he was kind of opposed to it initially, but he’s come around since. He’s a huge football fan now, and I think he has really enjoyed following his son through high school, college, and a professional career.” Cantwell says he actually continued playing various sports, playing football in the fall, basketball in the winter and baseball in the spring.
GAME TIME COACH HUNTER CANTWELL IS FINDING HIS STRIDE AT CHRISTIAN ACADEMY OF LOUISVILLE Writer / Julie Engelhardt Photography Provided
Christian Academy of Louisville (CAL) has a long-standing reputation for being one of the finest learning institutions in the state of Kentucky. They have attained that status by attracting outstanding administrators, instructors and athletic staff.
“I had a lot of friends who played football,” he says. “Growing up in Georgia, it’s a big football state. Much like there’s a strong basketball culture in Kentucky, we all grew up following Georgia and Georgia Tech, and the Atlanta Falcons. I think just being in the culture really piqued my interest and I wanted to try it out.”

After a prolific football career in high school, Cantwell was given the opportunity to be a preferred walk-on at the University of Louisville prior to the 2005 season. On November 25, 2005, quarterback Brian Brohm injured his leg in a game against Syracuse and was out for the rest of the season. Cantwell stepped in and completed 3 of 5 passes for 66 yards, helping the Cardinals to a 41-17 victory. On December 2, 2005, Cantwell started the season finale on the road against the Connecticut Huskies, completing 16 of 25 passes for 271 yards and 1 touchdown, aiding Louisville in a 30-20 win. In the 2006 Gator Bowl, Cantwell played very well, throwing for 216 yards and 3 touchdowns, but their opponents, Virginia Tech, won the game. Cantwell was voted the Cardinals’ MVP of the Gator Bowl.

“I was there in Carolina for my rookie year, and then going into my second off-season, I was cut,” he says. “I went on to play two more years with the Baltimore Ravens, so I got three years in professionally. After my last year with Baltimore I had couple of tryouts, one with the Pittsburgh Steelers, but nothing came of that.”

get started with coaching.” Cantwell says he is very thankful for the opportunity to be a part of the NFL. “The organization taught me a lot of great lessons that I carry over to my coaching career,” he says. “One of the big things I carried over is that on the pro teams there were guys who would have bad days out on the football field, or who weren’t handling their business with their discipline or timeliness or professionalism, so their lockers were cleaned out pretty quickly. It was very high-stakes. If you went out and had a bad day on the practice field, you might not have a job when you walked back into the locker room. That provided a focus on the little things, day to day, that I just never had to apply before, even at U of L.” After his time at Campbellsville, Cantwell took a position as the head football coach and as a special education teacher at Carroll County High School.

7 WAY S TO P R E P YO U R FA L L WA R D R O B E
Writer / Stephanie Weber Photographer / Collin Weber
It’s still in the 90s most days, but fall is quickly approaching. August is the month that students go back to school, the football games dominate weekends and stores start to put out their fall styles if they haven’t already. Sweaters are probably the farthest thing from your mind, but if you love fall fashion as much as I do, you’re ready to start transitioning. There are a few easy ways to do that even with the summer heat that looms for at least the next month. 1. UTILIZE DENIM
Now is the time to add denim to your wardrobe. Stock up on a couple of pairs of new skinnies or boyfriend fit jeans because you’ll be able to wear them through the next couple of seasons. Nordstrom, Madewell, Evereve, and Sweet Olive are my go-to stores to find new denim styles that are comfortable and also on trend for the year. 2. FLANNELS ARE A MUST
drop, layer flannels with a vest paired with booties and your new high-rise skinny jeans. This is the ultimate piece for bonfires and, honestly, if you only add one item to your wardrobe for fall, it should be flannels. 3. PEEP TOE BOOTIES ARE A GOOD WAY TO GO
Right now, it’s a little too warm for booties with socks, at least for me. I’d suggest peep toe booties that will go with almost every outfit. You can wear these with dresses, denim or even shorts. DSW almost always has a great selection and they are my go-to store for shoes. 4. ADD FALL COLORS
It seems this year that fall colors have been on trend since January. We’ve seen mustard and olive for most of the summer, but if you haven’t added them to your wardrobe yet, now is certainly the time. Along with those two hues, purple, navy and burgundy are also a few to add to your shopping list. Try a fall-colored button-up paired with denim shorts and a peep toe bootie. That’s the perfect August look.
5. LAYER UP You simply can’t go wrong with flannels, especially for fall. Wear tthese now unbuttoned As we move into fall, you probably notice that with a tank or graphic tee and your favorite mornings are chilly followed by warm, sunny denim shorts. Then when the temperatures days and then back into breezy nights again. AUGUST 2021 / 15
A light cardigan with a short sleeve floral top and your favorite denim is a good way to go. You can also use flannels as a layering piece. Leather jackets are common as we move into colder temps. But, be careful not to over-layer in a way that looks messy and confusing leaving you with no shape. 6. SANDALS ARE ACCEPTABLE
Utilize those summer sandals as long as you can because your feet won’t see the light of day until at least March. I used to say that “jeans and flip-flop” weather is my favorite and that holds true today. Wear sandals with your favorite jumpsuits, denim or dresses until it’s just too cold. Black or cognac sandals are my suggestion for transitional colors. 7. ADD SOME PRINTS
Leopard is always popular for fall and so is plaid. Bold fall florals are another print to add. Pattern mixing is one of my favorite things to try for fall. I like to mix leopard flats with a plaid top and comfortable denim. Add statement earrings to the look and you’re good to go. These tips are easy ways to make fall clothing work even though it’s still warm outside. It’s best to start transitioning now while the stores are

FOR BRAND LOYALISTS From soda to peanut butter to cars, some people are brand loyalists. Nearly every major hotel, airline and car rental company has a branded credit card for loyal customers. If you have a certain travel brand that you prefer, it pays to get a credit card with that brand. If
you’ll only fly Delta or always like to stay at a Hilton, a co-branded card with that company will stretch your dollars. These co-branded cards give you bonus points for spending money with that brand. For example, depending on what level of card you hold, you can earn seven to 14 times the points on Hilton-related purchases. This is in addition to the points you earn on other purchases. While your points will go farther when spending them on travel for that card’s brand, many of the rewards programs do have other travel partners. Points earned on a Southwest credit card, for example, can be turned in for Southwest flights, as well as car rentals, travel experiences and gift cards.

FOR NEWBIES If you’re new to the travel credit card scene, it’s best to start with a card that makes earning easy and has a simple rewards program for different types of travel. These general cards aren’t tied to one brand and allow you to spend your points in many different ways. One of the simplest rewards programs is Chase Ultimate Rewards. This rewards program works with both the Chase Sapphire Preferred and Chase Sapphire Reserve credit cards, as well as several other cards in the Chase family. With Chase Ultimate Rewards, you can transfer points to numerous travel partners or spend the points on gift cards and merchandise. You can also book hotels, flights and car rentals through the Chase Ultimate Rewards travel portal. If you belong to Chase Sapphire Preferred, points used through the travel portal are worth 1.25 cents rather than 1 cent. With the Chase Sapphire Reserve, points are worth 1.5 cents.

FOR EVERYDAY SPENDING If you use your credit card for everyday spending, you might as well be racking up the travel points as you go. In general, most credit cards with rewards programs give users one point or mile for every dollar spent on the card. As previously mentioned, some companies offer extra points for spending in certain categories, which is great unless you never spend money in those areas. One of the best cards for day-to-day purchases is the Capital One Venture Rewards card. No matter what you buy, you earn two Venture miles for every dollar spent. Every mile can then be used to cover 1 cent of travel purchases on your credit card statement. You can also transfer Venture miles to travel partners.
POINTS TO REMEMBER No matter what travel credit card you choose, it’s important to spend within your means. Don’t spend money you don’t have, no matter how many points you can get for it. Always pay off your full balance each month to avoid interest fees. Some travel credit card companies offer large sign-up bonuses that require you to spend a certain amount in a specific time range. If you choose one of these cards, keep track of your spending to be sure you hit the required mark and earn your bonus points.

MAKING IT WORK
THE MILLER COMPANY CELEBRATES FOUR DECADES Writer / Christy Heitger-Ewing Photography Provided
In 1978, Ed and June Miller opened The Miller Company, a copier business that originally operated out of a garage. “Mom and dad started it out of my great aunt Jenny’s garage,” says Ed and June’s son Scott Miller, CEO of Miller Company, Inc. “She loaned my parents $10,000 to start the business. Prior to that, dad was a school teacher at Valley High School.” Through the years, the company expanded and moved three times. Currently, they are located in a 25,000-square-foot facility in Bluegrass Industrial Park. Just before COVID-19 hit last spring, they had finished a beautiful $250,000 renovation of their
lunch-and-learn room, their showroom, and their Google lounge for employees and customers. They had planned to host a 200-person March Madness party, which unfortunately was cancelled. “That was the beginning of the end,” Scott says. “We’re still waiting for people to come look at our renovation.” Though they have always been a copier company, primarily representing Sharp Electronics, they have also done business with a number of other manufacturers. In the last three years, their main thrust has been technology as they focus on solutions in phone information technology (IT), cabling, security, and wide-format printers. “Cannon, Sharp and HP are our primary 22 / AUGUST 2021
vendors at the moment,” Scott says. “We have hundreds of them in the IT world, which is what has kept us in business during the pandemic.” They are one of the area’s largest independently owned copier dealerships and IT service providers. Although their copier business suffered a nearly 80% hit in revenue for hardware sales, IT is up 2,000%. Through the years, Scott has tried to keep up with technological changes. When Scott joined the company in the early 1990s, the fax machine had just been introduced. Before long, the facsimile became about 35% of the company’s revenue stream. By the time Scott took over in 2005 as president, the fax machine had all but died when people began scanning and emailing documents rather than faxing them.
“The turn of the century is the year the copier business slammed head first into what I call the Microsoft and the HP freight train,” Scott says. “Copiers just copied. That’s all they did. In 2000 they put this port inside of them and called it a printer. They didn’t work, so that’s when we dipped our toe into the IT world.” Knowing that IT was the wave of the future, they hired their first Microsoft Certified Desktop Support technician. Over time, they have invested hundreds of thousands of dollars to keep up with the ever-changing world of technology. Next they plan to tackle cyber security, since hackers are getting better all the time.
from happening.” Scott, who had always been into video games and technology, never had an ambition to sell copies for a living. In fact, after graduating in 1988 from Vanderbilt with an economics degree in business management, he had a job lined up and was set to go to Southern California with a couple of his buddies and work for a fledgling little company called Intel Corporation. When he told his Mom about his plans to move out west, however, she didn’t take it well. “She freaked out,” he says.
He understood why. In 1978, his sister died of leukemia. It was a devastating loss, and “Your cell phone connects to your computer his mom couldn’t bear the thought of losing and all of your other devices, and everything another child - this one to long distance. A in your life resides on the cloud,” Scott says. combination of guilt and an appealing offer “That much bait is just calling for somebody made Scott change his mind. to try and come take it from you. We’re “They bribed me to stay by offering me a going to be the ones who will prevent that
company car and nice salary,” Scott says with a chuckle. “Even though I’m sure I drove my father crazy because he was oldschool in how he ran the business, I’d seen what was coming with Apple and Intel.” Scott bought an i486 processor, played with it and learned Windows. Three years later, Scott was assigned to modernize and computerize the corporation. “I put a computer on everybody’s desk,” he says. “They were all linked together. We got rid of our accountant and we were on our way.” He admits that it was a struggle initially, trying to get everybody on board. “I was 24 years old and everyone working at the company was in their 30s and 40s, and had been doing it their way for 10 years,” he says. “This young whippersnapper tells them they have to key in all this stuff into that box on their desk. It was rocky for a while.”

In 2015, Scott bought the business from his father and his vision came to fruition. “That vision worked until 2020,” Scott says. “Now we have to come up with a new vision.” Though it’s been a rough year, they have gleaned lessons from the pandemic that they are using to improve efficiency, customer service, and training for their 40 employees. Scott and his wife Kimberly have four grown children - Peyton, Chandler, Spencer and Haleigh. Peyton, who graduated from the University of Kentucky, now works for the company in sales, heading up the Canon wide-format division. Twins Chandler and Spencer attend Western Kentucky University, and Haleigh goes to the University of Cincinnati.

About a decade ago, Scott told Kimberly that he wanted to leave a legacy. “I didn’t want to be remembered for being a really good copier company guy that didn’t do anything for anybody,” says Scott, who started a gifting program through which the company sponsors charities and invites their employees to nominate organizations that could use some help. Their first donation was to Simmons College, a private, historically black college in downtown Louisville.
and Campbellsville University. They have donated to 25 different companies throughout the past five years, in addition to organizations that are near and dear to Scott’s heart, such as March of Dimes, St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital, and the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society.
The Miller Company has given to causes such as God’s Harvest, which helps prisoners transition to normal life, as well as organizations that beautify the city like the Waterfront Botanical Gardens. Several years ago, Business First magazine gave them one “It was a sad situation,” Scott says. “They had of Louisville’s top philanthropic awards, listing the company as a top-10 corporate nine or 10 big pieces of broken equipment donor in the under $10 million per year that they couldn’t afford to fix so we gave category. them 15 of our best copiers.” They also donated production equipment and printers to St. Patrick,

defer payment if they are unable to make ends meet. As they look toward the future, Scott suspects they will be doing more residential work, simply to accommodate those companies whose staff is working from home. In those cases, the homes should be as efficient and secure as they are in an office setting. “If it’s not, when the employee taps into their work setup, they’re going to open up a hole for hackers,” Scott says. “If you’ve got a personal computer that’s shared with your kid or you don’t have the right antivirus software on it, your virtual private network may not be secure.” For more information, call 502-254-5200 or visit millermakesitwork.com.

Triple Negative Breast Cancer IU Medical researchers Dr. Bryan Schneider and Dr. Milan Radovich
Triple Negative Breast Cancer (TNBC) is an aggressive type of cancer that lacks common traits used to diagnose and treat most other breast cancers. About 1 in 8 U.S. women will develop breast cancer in her lifetime.
TNBC 15%-20%
In 2017, an estimated 255,180 new cases of breast cancer were diagnosed in U.S. women.
All other types of breast cancer
TNBC accounts for 15%-20% of breast cancer cases.
Because TNBC is estrogen (ER), progesterone (PR) and (HER2) negative, traditional hormone and targeted treatments that focus on these receptors are ineffective.

IU MEDICAL RESEARCHERS PRESENT PROMISING CANCER STUDY RESULTS Writer / Christy Heitger-Ewing Photography Provided
Anyone who has beaten cancer likely often wonders, “What if it comes back?” Two Indiana University School of Medicine researchers, Dr. Bryan Schneider and Dr. Milan Radovich, have exciting new findings, however, that spell good news for cancer patients. Schneider and Radovich came up with a biomarker finding for women diagnosed with triple-negative breast cancer that is now being taught and used worldwide. This pioneering research is part of the larger IU Precision Health Initiative, which received $120 million in funding from the IU Grand Challenges Program to research diseases such as Alzheimer’s, Type 2 diabetes, multiple myeloma and pediatric sarcomas (childhood cancers).
According to Schneider, breast cancer remains one of the most common cancer types for women in the U.S., with more than 250,000 women affected annually and approximately 40,000 dying of the disease. Triple-negative breast cancer tends to target young women and black women. Because it’s an aggressive form of breast cancer, even though it makes up a minority of cases, it causes a disproportionately high rate of mortality.
This research, which took place at 22 sites across the country, is made possible with funding from the Vera Bradley Foundation for Breast Cancer and the Walther Cancer Foundation. It is part of the Indiana University Precision Health Initiative Grand Challenge.

“Women with triple-negative breast cancer who had Stage 1 through 3 disease are treated with chemo followed by surgery,” says Radovich, noting that there are two post-surgical outcomes. Either chemotherapy melts all of the tumor away (this occurs in approximately one-third of patients), or patients have residual disease post-surgery.
Led by Milan Radovich, PhD, and Bryan P. Schneider, MD, and using the most cutting edge technology, researchers have discovered which patients are most likely to remain disease free and which are likely to relapse following treatment for triple negative breast cancer.
In a new clinical trial, the team will be harnessing information from ctDNA analysis to determine a specialized treatment plan.
“Even though we remove that cancer, they 12/19

are at high risk of their cancer coming back, usually with a vengeance as the disease has metastasized to other organs and becomes lethal,” Radovich says. Schneider and Radovich analyzed ctDNA (circulating tumor DNA), which is DNA shed from tumors into the bloodstream. With cutting-edge technology, a blood sample could be taken and the presence of cancer detected. “We found that if we take this blood sample after surgery and radiation, and we detect this tumor DNA, those women’s cancer will recur,” Schneider says. “If they are negative, those women have a good chance that the cancer won’t come back and therefore have a better, superior outcome.” Physicians in the cancer-fighting world are eager to hear more about these findings, as the concept of using a blood-based biomarker to predict where cancer will come back is being used across other cancers
as well. In December of 2019, Radovich presented this data in front of a packed audience of 12,000 at the San Antonio Breast Cancer Symposium. In addition, the work of Schneider and Radovich was published in JAMA Oncology, a peer-reviewed medical journal published by the American Medical Association.
“The real goal behind this is to take care of those patients who are in a tough situation,” Radovich says. “For those patients who are ctDNA-negative, you can tell them that they are in a situation where there is a really good chance of doing well, which provides a sense of relaxation and comfort. It also allows us the potential to think about strategies

magazine. What you’re seeing today is an evolution of decades of work in this area.” In addition to ctDNA, doctors also looked at circulating tumor cells in the study. Much of that work came out of Purdue University. “It’s a really neat collaboration both here in the state and across the United States,” says Schneider, who is starting a new clinical trial with Radovich called the Persevere Trial. Based on the newly established ctDNA findings, the new national trial will involve 200 women with triple-negative breast cancer in 20 sites across the U.S. down the road that deescalate the amount of therapy patients get, so they suffer fewer side effects.” For those deemed high-risk, physicians can implement innovative strategies in an attempt to improve outcomes.
“As Hoosiers, we should be proud of what our state is doing in advancing research that has implications across the country and internationally,” Radovich says. “IU has been a leader in this concept of using DNA and genomics to guide therapy for more than 20 years, long before it had become a hot topic in the New York Times or Time

According to Schneider, the sequencing of the first human genome propelled much of science to where it is today. “When the first human’s entire blueprint was mapped out, that set the stage for the entire code for which we’re built and how cancer is formed,” Schneider says. “As we
have the ability to use genomes in real time in a few days for much cheaper, we’re starting to learn in a logarithmic fashion. Now we are starting to see the fruits of that labor.” Radovich adds that scientists can now sequence a genome in a couple of days for a few hundred dollars. “It’s unbelievable how commoditized and quick it has become, and how applicable it is to patient care,” Radovich says. “Dr. Schneider and I are proud to lead our genomics program. We apply genomics to patients with cancer here at IU Health.” To date, they have sequenced more than 5,000 patients. “It’s been a game-changer to tailor therapy for individual patients,” Radovich says. “We imagine a day where genome sequence can be done at your bedside or as part of your routine visit with your doctor. Your genome
analysis can then help guide therapies.” Both doctors say they feel blessed to have the opportunity to deal with patients during a difficult journey. “We get to see the limitations in where we are, go back to the laboratory, and think
about some of the things we can do and advances we make that we know will impact the patients when we see them next week,” Radovich says. “That’s an unbelievable feeling, and one that we are incredibly passionate about.”

Writer / Shelly Bergman
With the first day of school lingering in the not-so-distant future, you're probably feeling both excited and overwhelmed. From creating healthy sleep habits and establishing a good morning routine to handling back-to-school anxiety and learning how to make communication more manageable, we’ve got 10 back to school tips and tricks for parents to help make this your best year yet! 1. MAKE A COUNTDOWN
to those routines while wanting to get in as much fun as you can, but it will help the transition immensely for you and your kids if you start early. 2. POSITIVE ATTITUDE You know that your child will reap the benefits of going to school. Try to keep any anxiety or stress you may have from showing to your child. 3. VISIT THE SCHOOL
This is a great practice for young kids Using a calendar, paper chain or whiteboard, starting preschool or Kindergarten. It is start a countdown a couple weeks before equally great for children entering a new school. With this countdown ease into school. Map out their classes and let them their school routine with bedtime, setting try out their locker. Park where they will out their clothes for the next day and when park and walk in, making their first day of they'll be waking up. It'll be hard to stick school more familiar. 30 / AUGUST 2021
4. MORNING ROUTINE Routine is the key word here. It may take a few weeks or even months to figure out the perfect routine for your family, but once you've got it, stick with it. Write it out or discuss it with your kids to let them know how you'd like to see the morning go. Have them help you figure out what works best for them. 5. EVENING ROUTINE Although morning routines help with the ease into a new day, setting up an evening routine can make that morning routine breeze by. Again, see what works best for your family. Maybe make a chart or an evening routine clock that shows what things they need to accomplish before lights out. Do as much as you can the night before
so the next morning is simple (set out clothes, make lunches, look at the week ahead etc.) 6. GO SCHOOL SHOPPING Head to the store for their favorite foods in their packed lunch. Purchase the necessary school supplies or even a new First Day outfit. Get haircuts. Having a day with them to prepare for the new year ahead will let your kids know you want to make this as easy and as fun as possible for them. 7. MAKE A DROP ZONE Talk to your child about homework rules and where they should put papers that need to be looked at or signed. Have enough space for each child's backpack, shoes, water bottles or anything else they will be carrying home from school so there is no frustration in the morning to find these items. Make sure they know it's their space and their responsibility to keep their items there. 8. MAKE A CALENDAR Add all of the holidays and school info and hang it where your child can see it. If they join a club or sport, have them write in their games or practice dates and times to let them have a little responsibility over knowing when their time is scheduled. If you have a younger child, use stickers to let them know which days they have games or practices. Starting this habit of letting them
schedule their time will help them decide what is too much on their plate. 9. BE PRESENT As tempting as it is to tell our kids they have nothing to worry about as a way to distract them, sometimes the best thing we can do as parents is to simply listen. If your child is finding school stressful, allow him or her to put their feelings into words so you can figure out exactly what is bothering them and (hopefully) find a solution to their worries. Spend 5 to 10 minutes connecting with each child in the morning or evening routine, with your phone put away. Talk about who they're excited to see or what
they're going to do at recess. If they are nervous for the week ahead, brainstorm a family activity for the weekend. 10. OUTSOURCE YOUR TIME Know that it's okay to ask for help. Figure out what is taking up a lot of your time, therefore, keeping you from your family. Is there a way to pay to have it done by someone else? Hire a cleaning service, utilize grocery pick up or delivery, make crock-pot meals, carpool with other parents for practices. There are many ways to simplify if you are able to step back and see what needs to be adjusted.

MOTHERPLUCKER GUITARS 500 N. English Station Road Louisville, KY
motherpluckerguitars.com
Story Provided Photography Provided
Motherplucker Guitars is a name as unique as the guitars bearing their logo and luthiers Keith and Doug Felker have been hard at work on these eccentric pieces of art for over 10 years. However, they outgrew their basement workshop and decided it was time for something with more space for their growing needs. Now, they’ve moved into a warehouse in Middletown and made it their home. The space, located at 500 N. English Station Rd, houses a large workshop in the back, and retail area up front for customers to come see the current models for sale, design their custom build, or drop off repairs. The company offers various production models, ranging from classic, to avant garde, along with a fully customizable experience for the customer to make the build their own.
Building isn’t all that goes on in the warehouse, either. Have a guitar with a problem, want to make upgrades or modifications, or just need a tune up?
CONNECT
Motherplucker offers a wide range of repair work and has worked with many local players and guitar enthusiasts to keep their guitars sounding their best and outfitted in top notch gear. Local sound deserves a local professional touch, and MP Guitars strives to provide high quality performance, right here at home.
Don’t like the stock options? Allow the luthiers to work with you to design the perfect guitar to suit your wildest dreams. Build time for a custom guitar varies, but generally takes four to six months, depending on materials needed. If you don’t want to wait for a build, stop by and take a look at the in stock options, proudly on display at the shop and ready to hit the stage. “Life is too short for a boring guitar” is more than a motto, just take a look at MP’s previous builds, either at motherpluckerguitars.com, motherplucker_guitars on Instagram, or in person at the shop. With guitars being played by artists locally, country wide, and across the world, it’s clear to see that art is playable. TownePost.com / AUGUST 2021 / MIDDLETOWN MAGAZINE / 33

A Memorial Day Event held at the Forum at Brookside in Middletown with a theme of “Be A Strong Warrior” was a big hit. Lieutenant Colonel Timothy Starke was the guest speaker. A hundred and fifty attended to celebrate the 50 men and women from all branches of the military that are a part of the Forum community. After the National Anthem, gifts were given to each Veteran and there was a special ceremonial cake cutting with two Civil War swords.

GET YOUR ANNUAL CREDIT CARD FEE WAIVED WITH THIS SIMPLE SCRIPT Writer / Rachel Richards Photography Provided
Credit cards. They can be our best friend or our worst enemy. While the sign-up bonuses and reward points are fantastic, there is also a downside. Exorbitant interest rates and annual fees can easily cancel out those benefits. The good news is that it might be possible to talk your way out of paying your annual credit card fee. Don’t get me wrong, this script isn’t foolproof, but it doesn’t hurt to ask, right? With these tips and script, you have a decent chance of getting your fee waived or reduced. Tip #1: Call your credit card company before your card even gets charged for the fee. They can make a note on your account that you have been proactively calling in asking for the fee to be waived. Tip #2: Be nice. These representatives deal with angry people calling all day, so it’s refreshing for them to hear someone pleasant and kind, which in turn makes them more willing to help. Tip #3: Remember, the worst they can do is say no. This method has not worked for me personally every time, but it has worked sometimes, and I call that a win. Why not try?
The conversation will go like this:
to help me?”
You: “Good afternoon! I remembered my annual fee is coming up soon and I’d like to ask to have it waived.”
Rep: “One second, I’ll check with my supervisor…ma’am, you are welcome to call in again after the fee has been charged. I’ll put a note on the account that you have called to request this.”
Rep: “I see that upcoming fee. Unfortunately, we’re not able to waive that.” You: “I understand. I’ve been a good customer with [name of company] for [number of years with company] now. I have great credit. I would like to get it waived because I really appreciate this company, I love this card and I’d love to keep using it.” Rep: “Hmm, one second. We do appreciate having you as a customer. Unfortunately, there’s nothing I can do.” You: “Oh gosh, I was hoping I could get it waived. To be honest, this would really help me out financially. I would really hate to have to close the account just because of this fee. What else can you do
You: “Thank you so much. I’ll call back then.” When you call back after the fee has been charged, you will have the exact same conversation once more. Be firm and confident but as polite as possible. With luck, you’re well on your way to getting those fees waived.
