notes:TOP bourbon with h eart
the mission of Bourbon with Heart is to leverage the influence and popularity of Bourbon to raise funds for local charities while providing a first-class arts experience for Kentuckians regardless of age, race, class, gender, or ability.
Morgan Hancock, founder of the nonprofit Bourbon with Heart, is a proud Kentucky native who deeply values community. “Art, like a good glass of Bourbon,” she says, “brings people together, bridges divides, and encourages self-expression.”
The nonprofit’s inaugural event, Barrels of Heart, is Louisville’s first Bourbon barrel art exhibition. Set to debut at the Frazier History Museum in February 2023, the exhibition will feature twenty custom-painted Bourbon barrels designed by local artists.
Each barrel artist brings their unique background to the exhibit—with artists ranging in age from eighteen to sixtyfive, diverse ethnicities, varying levels of experience from award-winning professionals to hobbyists, and artists with disabilities.
During the eight-week exhibition, the public will have the opportunity to vote for their favorite custom-painted
barrel. The winning artist will be awarded a cash prize and a donation to the charity of their choice. The remaining proceeds will be donated to three area nonprofits: Blanket Louisville, which provides blankets to Louisville’s homeless; I Would Rather Be Reading (IWRBR), which provides equitable access to trauma-responsive literacy support and social-emotional learning to children across greater Louisville; and Dream Center Academy, which provides a first-class Christian education to children of West Louisville and empowers them to break free from the cycle of violence and drugs.
Barrel Sponsorship: You can own a one-of-a-kind, custom-painted Bourbon “Barrel of Heart” by becoming a Barrel of Heart sponsor. Limited to only twenty sponsors.
Donate: Donations and Sponsorships are 100% tax deductible as charitable donations, and 100% of all public donations go to the nonprofits we serve.

Jack Harlow’s LOUISVILLE
We love a story about a local boy done good. Louisville native Jack Harlow began rapping at age 12; at just 24, he’s one of the most famous musicians in the US. His roots in our city run deep, and he’s always given shout-outs to his favorite local spots. This January, when you’re desperate for something fun to get you out of the house, why not take a quick peek at Jack Harlow’s world?
Baxter Avenue Theatres Filmworks
village8.com
For Apple’s Hyperlocal series, Harlow explained, “Another Highlands location I spent much of my youth. Saw a lot of classic movies up here. Super chill theater that somehow captures a very neighborhood experience.” Well said!
Signarama Downtown
signaramadowntown.com
Brian and Maggie Harlow are super proud parents – and they’ve also put together a super creative team at their business. We applaud their Signs of Support grant program for non-profits, volunteer groups and charitable organizations. Aww!
Morris’ Deli
morrisdelicatering.com
This Louisville original really is worth singing about. Located near the corner of Bardstown & Taylorsville Road, you can enjoy slow smoked barbecue, delicious sandwiches (“turkey on chibatta” is Harlow’s rec.) and soups that will warm you from the inside out.
J.M. Atherton High School
3000 Dundee Road
Still go back and see it all the time when I’m in town and wanna get in my feelings,” Harlow explained of his high school. Super fans should drive by this location – mentioned in “Talk of the Town” – and alums should definitely remember to add, “I graduated from the same school as Jack Harlow” to their dinner party talking points. •

“In the ‘Ville and I move like a don. Eating fettucine at Vincenzo’s.” This fine dining establishment is famous for its incredible Italian fare, and Jack Harlow absolutely signs off on its tasty pedigree. photo of a very young Jack Harlow with the owners courtesy of VINCENZo’S
Churchill Downs
churchilldowns.com
Harlow’s track (featuring Kentucky fanatic Drake) positions THIS track as a pie-inthe-sky motivation – one he achieved by calling “Riders up!” at this year’s Derby. While there’s nothing more luxurious than Millionaire’s Row, Churchill Downs is actually pretty accessible for the rest of us. Simulcasting and Derby Museum Tours are available throughout the month of January.

4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1 c. freshly grated parmesan cheese

1 1/2 tsp. seasoning salt
1/2 tsp. pepper
Mix mayo and seasonings together.
Spread over chicken in baking dish. Bake at 375 for 45 minutes.

Jennifer’s Easy Melt-in-Your-Mouth Chicken Chicken n’ Dumplins
1/4 c. all-purpose flour
1/2 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. black pepper
3 lbs. chicken, cut up
2 T. oil
1 large onion, chopped
2 medium carrots, chopped
2 celery ribs, chopped
3 cloves garlic, minced
6 c. chicken stock
2 bay leaves
Dumplings:
1 1/3 c. all-purpose flour
2 tsp. baking powder
3/4 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. black pepper
2/3 c. milk
1 T butter, melted
Soup:
1/2 c. heavy cream
2 tsp. parsley, minced
2 tsp. thyme, minced
In a bowl, mix lour, salt and pepper. Dredge each piece of chicken, shaking off excess. (Add more flour, if needed to coat all chicken on all sides.)
Warm oil over medium-high heat in your 6-quart stockpot. Brown chicken in batches on all sides and remove to a paper-towel lined plate to drain.
In the stock pot, add onion, carrots and celery. Cook until onion is tender, about 6 minutes. Add garlic and cook an additional minute. Using a whisk, stir in flour.
Add stock in roughly 1-cup pours, stirring well between each pour. Add bay leaves. (Feel free to wrap bay leaves in cheesecloth or put in an herb strainer to find and remove these more easily later on.)
Return chicken to pot and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and cover; simmer for 20 minutes or until chicken is cooked through.
Remove chicken from stockpot. Discard skin and bones. Shred meat and return to soup.
While that returns to a simmer, prepare dumplings. In a bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, salt and pepper.
In a separate bowl, mixed together milk and butter. Add to dry mixture, mixing until just combined. Dumplings will be sticky. Drop by tablespoonful into simmering soup, allowing at least a few seconds between each drop. Reduce heat, cover pot and allow dumplings to cook for 15 minutes.
Gently stir in cream, parsley and thyme. Season to taste.

1 box instant cheesecake pudding
1 1/2 c. buttermilk
4 eggs (separated)
1/2 c. vegetable oil
1 1/2 c. flaked coconut
1 c. chopped pecans
1 tsp. almond flavoring
Preheat Oven to 350 degrees.
In large mixing bowl add the cake mix, pudding, buttermilk, eggs yolks and oil.
Beat for 2 minutes with electric mixer at medium speed.
Fold in whipped egg whites and beat another minute.
Add pecans, almond flavoring and flaked coconut and mix with a rubber spatula.
Pour batter into 9 x 13 inch pan that has been sprayed with non-stick cooking spray. Bake for 45 minutes.
For Frosting:
4 T butter, softened
8 oz. cream cheese, softened
2 T cream
2 1/2 c. confectioners’ sugar
1 1/2 c. flaked coconut

Appalachian Soup Beans
1 lb. dried pinto beans
bacon or ham
1 large onion, chopped
Pour beans into a large bowl and cover with water. Let soak overnight. Drain.
Cook your bacon or ham in the bottom of a large sauce pan, adding rendered bacon fat, if necessary. Transfer to a paper towel to drain.
Saute onion until tender in same pan, coating with the fat.
Stir in your beans. Cover with water or chicken stock to 1
inch. Bring to a boil then reduce heat. Half-cover the pot and cook for an hour.
Stir in your meat. Season to taste with salt, pepper or hot sauce. Serve with cornbread and sliced raw onion.
Note: Soup beans are very much a “make do” recipe. You’re welcome to add in additional seasonings, like bay leaves or garlic. If you’ve got a ham bone or ham hock, it’s certainly welcome to join the party. If you’d like to put cooked collard greens in your finished bowl, that’d be mighty tasty!
If you feel like your soup beans are a little thin, trust that it will thicken up as you reheat it. In the meantime, add crumbled cornbread to the bowl for an authentic Appalachian bite.
Mamaw’s Four-Ingredient Peanut Butter Fudge
1 c. butter
1 c. peanut butter
1 tsp. vanilla extract
3 1/2 c. powdered sugar
Melt peanut butter and butter with vanilla in a saucepan over medium-low heat. Stir until combined and completely melted. Remove from heat and add the powdered sugar in, a cup at a time. Stir to combine. If desired, you could add chopped peanuts or miniature chocolate chips.
Pour into an 8” pan that’s well-buttered (or lined with parchment paper) and press into corners. Refrigerate until cool before cutting.

2 oz. bourbon---chilled
Preheat a heavy frying pan and sprinkle bottom lightly with table salt. Mix meat, handling lightly, just enough to form into four patties. Grill over medium-high heat for about 4 minutes on each side.
Pour chilled bourbon in chilled shot glass and serve meat and bourbon on a TV tray.
VELVEETA® Down-Home Macaroni & Cheese

Megan’s Buffalo “Chick” Dip
1 can of chickpeas
16 oz. cream cheese
1/2 c. buffalo sauce
8 oz. sharp cheddar
8 oz. mild/or interestingly seasoned cheddar
1 T onion powder
1/2 T garlic powder
1/2 T paprika sprinkle of pepper
Set out cream cheese to soften for 30-60 mins. Grate your cheeses.
Rinse and drain chickpeas.
Hand mix cream cheese, sauce and spices. Then mix in everything else, saving about 1/2 cup of one of your shredded cheeses.
Put into pan and bake on 325 for 35 mins. Stir around at 20 min. mark.
Before serving, put extra cheese on top and pop back in the oven to melt.
Sprinkle paprika on top before serving.
Tips: Can also be made in a crock pot. Put into a different dish before serving if you got it all over the sides of your pan in the oven and it’s not cute

Amanda’s Devilish Deviled Eggs
6 hard boiled eggs (see notes) 1/4 c. mayo 2 T horseradish 1/2 dill
1/4 stone ground mustard 1/4 tsp. salt
Cut eggs in half. Scoop out yolks into a bowl. Mash. Add other ingredients.
Pipe into reserved cooked egg whites. Sprinkle with paprika or pepper. How to boil eggs: Place them in a saucepan where they’re not crowded: they should have room to move around. Cover with water and add an inch extra, for good luck.
Bring to a rapid boil.
Cover the pan with a lid and remove from heat. Set a timer for 11 minutes.
Fill a large bowl with water and ice.
Move hot eggs carefully into the ice water using tongs. Let cool for 10 minutes and remove the shells gently.
Side notes: Making deviled eggs is more of an intuitive sport than a logical one. There is always leftover filling, so get in there and taste it as you go.
One thing to bear in mind is that once they go in the fridge (if they make it there), the filling will suck up moisture. Err on the side of having a filling that’s a touch gritty rather than going too smooth and having soup in your eggs later on.

Fran’s One-Pot Beef Stew Jayme’s Bread Crumb Pasta
This is a twist on spaghetti a traditional Italian pasta dish featuring garlic, olive oil, and chile. The fresh breadcrumbs soak up the spicy oil and garlic in a most delicious way. Be sure to brown the breadcrumbs well, or they’ll be soggy in the finished dish. Ciabatta breadcrumbs are best for this dish, but you can use any mildflavored bread; leave the crusts on for the best texture. If I need to save time, I use Ritz crackers tossed in melted butter in the oven for 5 min. Top with Freshly grated Parmesan cheese.
Kosher salt
1/2 c. best-quality extra-virgin olive oil
Pinch crushed red pepper flakes
1 1/2 c. coarse fresh breadcrumbs (with crust, preferably from a ciabatta loaf or Ritz Cracker topping)
6 medium cloves garlic, finely chopped
1/4 c. finely chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
3/4 lb. dried spaghetti, or linguine
Freshly shredded Parmesan Cheese
1 tsp. of Weyler’s chicken powder (I use chicken base in almost every dish I cook. It’s that little “something” a lot of dishes are missing.)
Toast your cheese sandwich with a little butter in a skillet. Shove it at ‘em and go take a bubble bath!
Heat the oil and red pepper flakes in a skillet over mediumlow heat until sizzling, about 5 minutes. Stir occasionally. Raise the ehat to medium, then add the breadcrumbs. Cook while stirring until deeply golden, about 3 minutes.
Add the garlic and cook about 1 minute, until breadcrumbs are brown and crisp.
Remove from heat.
Stir in parsley and season with chicken powder to taste. Prepare pasta according to package instructions in salted water, then drain. (Don’t worry about getting all the water off your noodles. A little left in the colander will help everything stick.)
Top off the dish with breadcrumbs after plating. Serve sprinkled with parmesan.

In a bowl, mix together worcestershire, mustard, vinegar, brown sugar and tomato sauce.
Add the minced garlic and cook until fragrant, stirring constantly. Pour in the sauce mixture and bring to a light boil. Reduce heat to low and simmer for about 10 minutes. If sauce is too dry for your liking, add a few tablespoons of water at a time and stir to combine.

Tips and Tricks to Have Beautiful Winter Skin
BY: ALLYSON MATTINGLY
Though winter brings about fun outdoor activities like ice skating and hitting the ski slopes and cozy indoor moments like sipping hot cocoa by the fire, it also brings the dreaded cold weather and dry, cracked skin. Even if you prefer to stay bundled up during the colder months (I know I do!), your skin can still be stripped of its natural oils, meaning you may need to do some TLC to your daily skincare routine. Combat dry winter skin and retain your skin’s moisturized glow all season long with our simple tips and tricks that anyone can do!
BEAUTY
Start Your Day with
SPF
Don’t be fooled by the cold weather: sunscreen is just as important in the winter as it is in the blistering heat of the summer. While there is less UVB around in the winter months, the levels of UVA rays are still high enough to cause premature aging, so be sure to apply sunscreen all year long! UVB rays also stimulate vitamin D production, meaning if you aren’t getting your 30 minutes of sunshine each day, you may need to invest in a vitamin D3 supplement.
Lock in the Moisture
Use thick moisturizers that contain occlusives such as petrolatum and shea butter as well as humectants like hyaluronic acid, and ceramides. Applying moisturizer when your skin is still slightly damp will help lock in moisture while still allowing for your skin to breathe.
As for the rest of your body, using thick body creams rather than light, watery lotions can help keep your skin safe from drying out. Dermatologists recommend using creams that come packaged in a jar or tube, as opposed to lotions pumped out of a bottle; these formulas typically pack in more moisture.
Use a Gentle Cleanser
Typically this is the first and most important step in your skin care routine. Washing your face too aggressively or with a harsh cleanser can lead to acne and dry, disrupted skin. Opt for a gentle cleanser during the winter, like a cleansing balm or cream. If your skin feels tight after washing, your cleanser could be too harsh on your skin - instead, your skin should feel calm and hydrated. For those with dry or sensitive skin, look for cleansers that are fragrance-free and labeled for sensitive skin, as they generally contain less drying ingredients and more moisturizing ones.

Don’t Forget the Lips
My least favorite thing about winter? Chapped lips! The skin on your lips is fairly thin and gets chapped with the snap of your finger, but carrying a good lip balm around with you can help you avoid the pain of dry lips. Personally, I have a purse lip balm, car lip balm, desk lip balm, bedside table lip balm... the list goes on! Not only does balm give an extra layer between your lips and the cold, but it also provides nutrients to keep your lips lusciously moisturized. Our best tip for nourished lips: STOP licking them!
Lower the Water Temperature
As someone who loves a good, relaxing bath after a long day, it’s hard to adjust your water temperature from scalding hot to a nice lukewarm. If winter weather doesn’t already dry your skin out enough, taking a long, steamy shower or bath will dry you out even further. Try taking shorter, lukewarm showers during the colder months, around 10 minutes. (As a bonus, if you have color-treated hair, lukewarm water increases the longevity of your color.) After your shower, while you’re still slightly damp, apply a body cream to lock in moisture and prevent dry, flaky skin.
Invest in a Good Humidifier
You don’t think it, but the comfy, cozy heat in your home pulls moisture from the air, contributing to dry skin. A humidifier can replenish the moisture in the air while keeping the humidity in your home at an optimal level, ultimately protecting your skin from drying out. Use your humidifier in rooms you spend the most time in or run it overnight while you’re sleeping to wake up to moisturized skin. Before you leave the house, remember to apply a thick body cream to stay nourished throughout the day.

Success has led to incredible growth which is why Dr. Steve Samuel and his wife, Marketing Director Lori, knew the time had come to add a nurse practitioner to the Comprehensive Vein Care staff. “We were up to three times the amount of cases I thought we would have,” says Dr. Samuel. “And now we have someone to help with procedures and do everything I can!” Renee Phillips, APRN, MSN, FNP-C, brings a wealth of knowledge and experience, having worked at another vein practice for many years. She holds a Master’s Degree in Nursing and is a Board Certified Family Nurse Practitioner with over 25 years of clinical training plus months of training with Dr. Samuel.
The Jeffersonville, Indiana venous insufficiency practice grew out of Dr. Samuel’s experience with leg pain and varicose veins due to 33 years of 12-hour days on his feet as a general surgeon. His treatment made such a big difference in his life that he traveled all over the country to study and become certified in vein care.
“Comprehensive Vein Care provides world-class, stateof-the-art venous and lymphatic medical care based on systems and protocols developed, tested, proven, and then constantly refined by me.”
Symptoms of venous insufficiency range from cosmetic to those with significant medical implications. In addition to heavy, tired, swollen legs, spider veins, varicose veins, venous ulcers, and lymphedema are all caused by venous insufficiency. As Vein Care Specialist Nurse Practitioner, Renee has taken over sclerotherapy (treatment for spider veins) at Comprehensive Vein Care, saving time by allowing Dr. Samuel to handle other procedures. She adds experience to the leadership team, and Lori says the relationships Renee builds have brought value to the practice. “Renee is kind, smart, and our patients love her.”
According to Dr. Samuel, 30 million people suffer from venous insufficiency, but only 9% receive treatment. Dr. Samuel is changing that statistic locally by adding Renee Phillips to the team. Comprehensive Vein Care is your one-stop-shop for convenient, in-office care with a family approach, from initial consult to ultrasound to follow-up procedures.

Health Trnds
The best way to sum up what’s trending in wellness care in the coming year? “Do it your way!” The hottest trends are all focused on empowering you to decide what’s right for your unique needs. People are personalizing their healthcare routines more than ever. They’re also making time and in their lives to take care of themselves in a way that’s honestly refreshing! From wellness vacations to face yoga, green algae supplements to early dinner, there are seemingly limitless ways to help broaden your definition of wellness care. 2023 is all about deciding which trends are right for YOU!
Mobility First!
So many of us are struggling with the effects of aging and a sedentary lifestyle – even the most active among us aren’t immune to the problems that time at our desks can wreak. According to Pinterest, the hottest workout trends for 2023 are more centered on addressing particular physical mobility concerns. Think relaxing hip flexors, combating the “desk hump” on your neck and improving knee mobility… all of these physical therapy-inspired movements are spiking on search engines.

Low-Intensity, Everywhere
Low-intensity activities like walking, yoga and mobility exercises are becoming a normal part of our fitness routines. But more and more people are finding ways to incorporate this movement more intentionally throughout their days. While cardio will always be important, these low-intensity movement “snacks” mean you get in more overall activity – which can add up to even more benefits than your usual trip to the gym! This means that wellness can be incredibly flexible and integrated into your day rather than something you have to set aside time for; think standing desks, lunchtime strolls, “stretch breaks” and more trips to the water cooler.
Do Not Disturb
In the digital age, people have virtually limitless ways to contact one another – 24/7. More and more people are realizing that in order to maintain a healthy work-life balance, they need some time during the day when they’re not in touch. Phones have robust options for custom Do Not Disturb profiles, allowing you to choose which notifications, calls and texts you see immediately. This offers opportunities to time-block your responses, then get back to living your best life.
12-3-30 Goals
The formula is simple: set your treadmill to a 12% incline and try to sustain a pace of around 3MPH for 30 minutes.
This trend exploded when TikTok creator Lauren Giraldo shared her treadmill setup, garnering 12.7 MILLION views. One of the reasons it resonated with so many people? It’s a workout you can easily take with you anywhere you go, whether at home, in the gym or while visiting relatives.
Those suffering from tight calves and lower back pain should generally avoid such an incline, but it’s a fairly accessible challenge for most folks to work toward.

Wellcations!
We’ve always known that vacations are absolutely essential to our overall mental health and well-being. We also know that American workers often let their vacation days go unused – even those who take theirs still end up working! 2022 was the year we finally acknowledged that the dangers of burnout are very real. In 2023, more people are using their vacation time more intentionally: enter the “wellcation.” Also known as wellness tourism, these trips are centered on wellness experiences that force you to really unplug from work. Think yoga retreats, group hikes, remote spas and digital detox retreats. By choosing a wellcation, you give yourself permission to ignore your inbox and truly unwind instead.
Does the idea of a wellcation sound appealing to you? Here are some of the top wellness destiations in the US:
• Crestone Mountain Zen Center – Crestone, Colorado
• The Barns at The Toutbeck – Amenia, New York
• Dunton Hot Springs – Dolores, Colorado
• Miraval Austin – Austin, Texas
• The Lodge at Woodloch – Hawley, Pennsylvania
• Golden Door – San Marcos, California
• The Omni Grove Park Inn – Asheville, North Carolina
• Hilton Head Health – Hilton Head, South Carolina
• 1440 Multiversity – Scotts Valley, California
• Skyterra Wellness Retreat – Lake Toxaway, North Carolina
• Sanctuary Resort Spa – Paradise Valley, Arizona

Early Dinner
Class Act!
Group fitness classes have always been on-trend, but more than ever, people are seeking community and togetherness in their workouts. We haven’t forgotten the perks of one-onone training; more classes are switching to a hybrid format that offers the benefits of personalized attention inside a group setting. Still others are utilizing technology to bring that sense of community and care, using newsletters and virtual classes to add more content and connectedness.
With the rise of Intermittent Fasting and awareness of biorhythms, more and more people are having dinner earlier than ever – and the practice has very real health benefits. Doing so allows you plenty of time to digest, setting you up for a more restful night of sleep. Research tells us that people who eat earlier benefit from better overall heart health. Some studies have shown that keeping all of your meals within a 10-hour window can improve blood sugar and cholesterol levels.
Some people worry that they’ll end up with midnight munchies if they wrap up dinner before 6pm; if you’re a snacker, the key is to keep sensible snacks on hand so you don’t end up turning your bed into a giant charcuterie board. (Unless you have blood sugar concerns, avoid any snacking in the two to three hours before bed.)
But research actually suggests that this won’t be a problem once you adjust to the switch; in one study, people who ate the same meals on a later schedule felt hungrier throughout the day than the people who ate earlier. Those same study participants seemed to burn calories more slowly and their fat tissue stored more calories. Food for thought!

In Your Feels
The last few years have been focused on helping us see that mental health is the foundation upon which our entire well-being rests. Now that we’re finally acknowledging the importance of our mental and emotional health, we’re seeking new approaches to properly tending to our innermost selves. Pinterest reports huge increases in searches for alternative mental health self-care techniques like journaling, writing therapy and music therapy. The goal: feel your feelings and process them in your own way!
Try it!
Therapeutic Journaling
Writing down your thoughts and feelings about personal experiences is nothing new. But very few people consistently keep up this habit. Those that do often keep a diary – that is, writing down the events of the day, focusing on facts over feelings – rather than taking the time to record and reflect on the emotional side of our days. Therapeutic journaling encourages you to think about how you felt during certain experiences, as well as to delve into what you think led to that emotional response.
Starting seems easy enough – just buy a journal or open up a Google Document and go to town. But in reality, a blank page can feel overwhelming. Some people enjoy journals that come with prompts. Others like bullet journals that give their work a structure and some creative expression.
Art Therapy
Let me set your mind at ease right now: you do not have to be an artist to practice art therapy. The point of art therapy isn’t to make good art, but rather to express yourself, process your emotions and/or give yourself a tangible task to help you regulate your emotions.
It’s really important to do a little research into art therapy before starting your journey. This will help you better understand your goals, as well as provide you some activities that will be most effective.
Music Therapy
We all know that what we listen to greatly affects our mood – just take a look at your workout playlist or what you listen to when you’re going through a breakup. Music therapy encourages you to experience or even create music that aligns with the emotions you are processing or the feelings you want to experience.

Jack Frost bites at our noses in January and our body craves the warmth and comfort on those chilly snowy days. Warm your body in a 92 to 94 degree fahrenheit warm therapy pool at Baptist Milestone. It is the perfect place for sore muscles or injury recovery. The warm spa-like feel from our therapy pool will put your achy muscles at ease by releasing lactic acid and comforting aches and pains.
In a warm therapy pool, your blood vessels are dilated, making it easier to move joints more freely without the pain and discomfort that you may feel during exercise on land. The heat works as a therapy, also known as thermotherapy, and is helpful in managing pain and discomfort in stiff, swollen joints. The buoyancy in water increases joint flexibility, improves mobility, and increases circulation. Reduced effects of gravity while in water lead to reduction of joint impact, allowing for an increased range of motion. Aquatic exercise is used for rehabilitation or preventative therapies in order to enable mobilization and muscle strengthening while minimizing joint loading. When comparing land exercises to water exercises, joint forces are reduced 35% to 55% in water. These non weight- bearing exercises can increase joint mobility by 50%.
Our aquatics team at Baptist Milestone brings energy to classes and motivates swimmers to get moving in the pool. Milestone offers Water Yoga, Water Wellness for Arthritis and Fibromyalgia, Pilates Feldenkrais, and pool classes for active agers. Our instructors strive to emphasize mind-body connection and make movements in the pool painless and effortless. Our Milestone aquatics Instructor, Dorothy, is a Feldenkrais Practitioner and has a Physiology of Sports degree from Strasbourg, France. Her class incorporates the neurology of movement and improvement through awareness. The Feldenkrais Method is a somatic intervention designed to help people reconnect with their bodies and learn ways to move with greater efficiency. Attend a class today to experience the release of lactic acid and endorphins in the warmth and relaxation of the therapy pool!

owners of NTC and NTC Traffic Control, Michelle James and Robin Hall run a successful business and give back to the community. Both companies are nationally and locally certified as WBE (Woman Business Enterprise) and DBE (Disadvantaged Business Enterprise). NTC focuses on workforce development, showing businesses how to rebuild their workforce by hiring and retaining secondchance employees. “We come in with a fresh approach to ensure success with the employer and the employee,” says Michelle.

“Life isn’t always easy, and the nonprofits out there doing the good work to help improve people’s lives need to be supported. We are not a big corporation, but we definitely do our part. It’s important for me to love the community that has shown me an abundance of love,” says Michelle.
NTC Traffic Control has 30 ATSSA (American Traffic Safety Services Association) certified employees. “We permit, safely construct, and maintain work zones in accordance with MUTCD (Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices) guidelines, helping us to provide safety equipment for companies at a competitive price.” As an extension of their service-oriented businesses, Michelle and Robin prioritize community outreach.
From buying coats, bikes, and toys to sponsoring a race car to help a young man fulfill his dreams, Michelle and Robin feel it is important to give back as they continue to build their business. A few charities, events, and organizations NTC supports are Backside Learning Center, The Fillies, Simmons College of Kentucky Race to Greatness, Family
Michelle and Robin not only donate money but also give their time and talent to assist people in need. With all of their community involvement, they have made lifelong friendships and are already making plans for the next holiday season. In 2010, Michelle and her husband, Councilman David James, started a Holiday Program for the children in his District, raising money to buy coats, bikes, gifts from Santa, and holiday dinners. Robin and her husband, Tommy, are ardent supporters of the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation. Their youngest son has diabetes, and as a mother, Robin wanted to help other parents on this journey. “As a business owner, I encourage more businesses to follow our lead.”
As they wrap up 2022 feeling grateful, Michelle and Robin would like to publicly thank their husbands, David James and Thomas Hall, for loving and supporting them.

Pros to Know
neighborh d place helps residents thrive
the mi ion:
Neighborhood Place works with communities to provide blended and accessible health, education, employment and human services that support children and families in their progress toward self-sufficiency.
Neighborhood Place is a partnership of Louisville Metro agencies and community residents who have come together to deliver services in a new way. The approach requires a unified action plan among diverse governments, agencies and neighborhood residents. Because agencies are not competing with one another, they are in a position to maximize every resource available to them. The most significant benefit is always to the families Neighborhood Place serves!
A team approach is central to Neighborhood Place. Workers select and design ways to enhance each other’s functions through a team effort. Because communication between service providers occurs up front, workers can set priorities with a clear understanding of their colleagues’ activities. The result is a significant reduction of duplication and counter-productivity.
A community focus is what sets Neighborhood Place apart. Neighborhood Place is unique in that it targets the total population of Jefferson County. In addition, each center is guided by a Community Council that is largely made up of past or current clients and people who live or work in the service area.
A new service delivery model, Neighborhood Place is of most significant benefit to the client. Because agencies are not competing with one another, they maximize every resource available to them. Client satisfaction surveys consistently show that more than 90% of clients would return or recommend Neighborhood Place to a friend.
Neighborhood Place’s Housing Stabilization Program is designed to assist income-eligible households in both long and short-term rentals with case management assistance. Program participants can expect a case management
