t’s no surprise that homelessness is a problem in Louisville. But what so many do not consider is what happens to its homeless citizens at the end of their lives. It’s one thing to see someone sleeping on the street, but it’s quite another to ask yourself what happens to that person when he or she is on the brink of death.

Karen Cassidy, a former palliative care nurse practitioner, was all too aware of the very real problem of people dying alone on the street and consequently made a choice. She left her work in the medical field and has now dedicated her life to the establishment of Hildegard House, a home offering quality end-of-life care to those without a home of their own or without anyone to care for them.

“At the hospital, I took care of a lot of people dying at the end of life who didn’t have a home or a family. It was terrible to see them die alone,” recalls Cassidy, who is now the executive director of Hildegard House. Cassidy was familiar with similar organizations – providing care for those who had nowhere to go or no one to help them – in other parts of the country but realized Kentucky had nothing like it. And because hospice programs won’t provide services to those without a permanent address, she took action and created one herself.

Hildegard House became incorporated a year and a half ago, and she and Mark Clore of Clore Construction have been working on its renovations for several months. The house is located in Butchertown at 114 Adams St. and was formerly a convent and a daycare before Cassidy became its newest tenant. She is currently renting the building from the Archdiocese for $1 per month, and the ultimate goal is to buy the building from the church.

Neither Cassidy nor Clore can remember how exactly she found him, but both admit that as soon as they met, the synergetic possibilities between them were undeniably palpable. “She

said, ‘You’re the first guy who didn’t talk down to me just because I’m a woman, as if I didn’t know anything,’” Clore recalls of the pair’s first meeting.

– Cassidy looks forward to letting residents pass on in a warm bed with smiling faces all around.

“The ultimate goal is that these people can die with dignity and not alone,” she maintains.

The work the two have done on the house is absolutely astounding, but both contend that it never could have been done without the phenomenally generous scores of others who have come together to make this possible. “This thing has just lit me up,” Clore describes. “I’ve made a contribution, I’ve contributed my time. But my electricians, my plumbers, my drywallers, my floor-finishers – it speaks to them not just me that I’ve brought $90,000 into this place.

In-kind work. Work that was just donated.”

The deep worthiness of Cassidy’s cause is unquestionably responsible for why so many have rallied around Hildegard House and worked so hard to get it up and running. For example, Clore took very little convincing to take on the project as he understood just how necessary Hildegard House is. “Just imagine any scenario when a person outlives an only child or outlives their siblings and parents – you know if the guy across the street comes to you, are you going to let him in and die in your house?” he poses. Meanwhile, Clore had a landscaping associate come in and clear out the backyard, and when he and his team departed, they left no bill. “His mom had died recently and had the use of hospice,” Clore relates. “People just know that feeling, and it’s come together in this house.”

And that work has been absolutely tremendous. The house is simply stunning, offering three private beds in a very homey environment.

And what’s particularly unique about Hildegard House is how Clore and his team have been sure to preserve the building’s history throughout the renovation process. “We’ve tried really hard to maintain the architecture and look of the original building,” he elaborates.

Cassidy is also proud that the Louisville community already is illustrating extraordinary reception to Hildegard House.

“The community’s been great because we are a community resource,” she emphasizes. “We take care of people with faith and no faith. We’re Kentucky’s only one and are here to serve the Louisville community. And we need the community to continue to support us because we’re taking care of everybody’s neighbors.”

WE TAKE CARE OF PEOPLE WITH FAITH AND NO FAITH.

When Hildegard House begins to fill up, Cassidy looks forward to offering the community something very special and, ultimately, needed. “We’re not a medical facility; we’re just a home,” she notes, which consequently means there’s no red tape to fight through for residents. All services will be completely free, and no insurance is necessary.

With comfortable rooms and friendly volunteers – known as “compassionate companions”

the work of countless volunteers, the house is ready, and all that’s missing is the funds necessary to hire a full-time nurse and full-time volunteer coordinator. Once the house is open, Cassidy anticipates serving 50 individuals per year.

“The house is ready, so we’re ready for people once we raise the funds, ” she affirms. Cassidy is confident the funds will indeed be raised as more and more people continue to learn about Hildegard House and subsequently financially support it. The aim is to be fully operational by the end of this spring.

If people cannot financially contribute, there is still a need to build a volunteer force. Compassionate companions will be onsite 24/7, and Cassidy needs more to join the caregiving family. The commitment is only five hours per week, and the work is not only important but immensely gratifying.

Once this location gets off the ground, Cassidy is open to considering the possibility of opening more Hildegard Houses. Even Clore is open to more projects and is actually confident that once the Butchertown house raises enough funds to open, the funding will only increase from there, making more houses possible. “If we got this undertow, I really think donations M A R C H 1 0 , 2 0 1 6 • W W W .

will skyrocket,” he asserts. “Once it really gets going, there is the thought that maybe we could put one of these in the South End, where there is real need for this sort of thing.”

Indubitably, the need in Louisville for a place like Hildegard House is undeniable. “Last week, I got a call from one of the homeless shelters and they have two people who are ready,” Cassidy says.

“We could fill the beds up five times.”

Clore echoes her sentiments: “The need in Louisville is more than just three beds.”

ect. On April 3 from 2 to 5 p.m., she will host a house blessing at Hildegard House to showcase to the public the gorgeous facility and hopefully persuade attendees to make a contribution. “At the house blessing, the mayor, the vicar general, a rabbi, a Muslim – they’ll all be here because it’s interfaith. We take care of everyone,” she puts forth.

LAST WEEK, I GOT A CALL FROM ONE OF THE HOMELESS SHELTERS AND THEY HAVE TWO PEOPLE WHO ARE READY. WE COULD FILL THE BEDS UP FIVE TIMES.

The fact that it’s not open and there is such a need only makes the delay of opening that much more lamentable. Cassidy is quick to encourage folks new to the concept of Hildegard House to understand the urgency of its opening and give whatever they can to the proj-

10

And that’s the beauty of Hildegard House. It will take care of anyone and everyone who needs it. No more dying in the streets or dying alone. At Hildegard House, the end of life is met with dignity and warm, familial care. As Clore simply says, “The real message here is when you’re taking care of someone who’s dying, you’re not trying to bring them to Jesus – you’re there to care for them.” VT

LOUISVILLE GIRL WINS KENTUCKY DERBY FESTIVAL’S SPELLING BEE The third time was the charm for 10-year-old Tara Singh of Louisville as she won the 23rd annual Ford Motor Company Kentucky Derby Festival Spelling Bee on March 5. Singh, who was competing for the third year in a row, correctly spelled “Eponym” – (of a person) giving their name to something. The competition was held in the Bomhard Theatre at The Kentucky Center for the Performing Arts (501 W. Main Street in Louisville). Amber Voigtschild of Lawrence County, Indiana, was runner-up in the competition among students from Kentucky and Southern Indiana.

Barnes is the first female master distiller of bourbon in Kentucky at only 29 years of age. Last January, she also garnered a spot on Forbes 30 under 30 list in Food and Beverage. Barnes is blazing a trail for women in a male-dominated bourbon industry, and though she doesn’t think the news would be as interested in her gutsy career move if she was a male, that is not the reason she decided to jump at the chance to become a master distiller.

obituaries Muriel Dahl Bahe Muriel Dahl Bahe, 97, of Louisville passed away peacefully on Wednesday, March 3, 2016, at Meadowview Rehab and Wellness Center. She was preceded in death by her husband, Gordon Arthur Bahe, a U.S. Army retired Lieutenant Colonel and retired GE engineer who died in 1992. They were married for 51 years.

Muriel was born on November 21, 1918, in Dilworth, Minn., the daughter of Abe and Berthine Hanson Dahl, both natives of Norway.

She graduated with honors from Morehead State University, Morehead, Minn. in 1940, where she was elected to the university’s hall of fame in her senior year. After her marriage in 1941 to 2nd Lieutenant Gordon Bahe, she taught for several years before starting her family.

For many years, Muriel enjoyed playing golf with her Hurstbourne Country Club friends, her husband and her grandsons. She and Gordon enjoyed square dancing, and, in retirement, they enjoyed their many winters spent in Florida.

The Worst Day of the Year

Sports

A Bittersweet Farewell Trey Lewis and Damion Lee only played for the University of Louisville for one season, but they won’t be forgotten. The two graduate transfers wrapped up that one year run last Saturday in the Cards season ending 68-46 loss at Virginia. They finished as the two leading scorers on a team that went 23-8, 12-6 in the Atlantic Coast Conference and 18-1 in the KFC Yum! Center. Thanks to the school’s self-imposed postseason ban, instead of participating in March Madness for the first time, they’ll be on spring break. Lee and Lewis will sign autographs for UofL fans at a pair of events this weekend. They’ll sign at the Planet Fitness in Middletown on Friday 4-6 p.m. and at the Academy Sports on the Outer Loop on Saturday noon-2 p.m. The first 500 fans on Saturday will receive a free poster. There is a two item limit per person and no charge for the autographs.

Were you surprised by the ring that Coach Pitino presented to you after the Georgia Tech game?

Trey Lewis: I was surprised.

That was nice. Damion and I were doing a lot of talking beforehand about what it could possibly be. We heard there was going to be a surprise, but that was definitely a big surprise.

Something I’ll remember for the rest of my life.

Having been at Penn State and Cleveland State, not counting some of the off the court stuff, how fun was this season?

Taylor’s 10 KENT TAYLOR WAVE3 Sports

Is that what you expected?

Lee: I actually thought it was going to be a jersey, half zero, half three, up in the rafters, but Coach said that you have to be an All-American to get that. And we’re just happy with the rings.

How do you sum up the emotions going from beating then-No. 22 North Carolina in front of an electric home crowd to finding out four days later that the school was self-imposing a postseason ban?

Lee: It was huge for us to come out, defend our home court and show that we can compete with a team that was ranked No. 1 in the country. Whatever happened after that week, we can’t let it affect us now.

When the ban was announced did you know that you had to hold this team together?

Lewis: We just knew that the team was going to follow our lead and follow our attitude. Once we addressed the situation with the whole team, we just said we’re going to continue fighting and we’re going to continue enjoying each other and have a great season. Since that moment, we embraced it and took it on.

Lewis: I’ve been at multiple different organizations, but I can truly say that this has been the best of college experiences because of the people. The coaching staff, my teammates and the fans are just unbelievable.

Coach, how much did these two surpass even your expectations?

Rick Pitino: They added so much on the court. Remember I really thought that this was going to be a rebuilding year. We lost a lot. We lost 85 percent of our scoring. We knew they could score, but I did not know they were going to be instantaneous leaders. I made them captains right away, which was an easy decision to make because you noticed right away how the players gravitated to their leadership.

It’s not normal what everybody witnessed this year.

You don’t find a collection of people like this. In terms of collective attitude as far as people, this was off the charts.

What stands out to you, Damion?

Damion: I texted Coach a couple of weeks ago and told him how much I admire him and everything, seeing him from afar and just hearing so many great things about him and actually being in his presence and understanding how genuine he is and the love that he has for Trey and myself and our families.

Coach, can we call them Louisville’s version of “The Unforgettables?”

Damion Lee.

Pitino: Why not? We can take that. I told them that this town will never forget you. The Louisville fans are as loyal as it gets, and I told them they will never forget you.

How much did you take it in when you walked off the court at Virginia?

What did you find out through this process about playing for Coach Pitino?

Lewis:

thing is how he’s similar to me, in a sense.

We both have the biggest passion for winning, and we hate losing more than we love to win. That drives us and fuels us, and I’ve just learned so much from him.

Trey Lewis.

Lewis: I definitely took in the atmosphere. This was a great place to end my career. I have to give Virginia a lot of credit. Out of all the years I played college basketball, this is probably the most well-coached team I’ve ever played against. VT PHOTOS BY ADAM CREECH

Big Blue Haitian

’ve waited all season to use that headline. But by the finale on Saturday, it was not just some gimmicky phrase-making; it was a key to a very big season-ending win and perhaps the key to unlock another significant post-season.

Catnip

instead of net, if Lee’s minutes are limited by fouls, if Poythress shrinks against teams with tall, muscular front courts, would Kentucky go from promising contenders to suspected pretenders?

If circumstances require the Wildcats to depend too much on bench play from Dominique Wilkins, Charles Matthews, Isaac Humphries and Mychal Mulder, would it expose the team’s lack of real depth?

STEVE KAUFMAN

We’ve become used to the strengths (and warts) of this team: Tyler Ulis’ control of every aspect of the game, Jamal Murray’s ability to score, Alex Poythress’ athleticism around the basket, Marcus Lee’s vertical leaping, Derrick Willis’ sweet perimeter shooting, Isaiah Briscoe’s determination to drive the baseline and finish what he had started.

But when we thought about Skal Labissiere, it was mostly about his disappointments. So highly touted coming in, he had become dismissed by Kentucky fans for his skinny frame, his soft hands, his weak rebounding, his inability to finish around the basket, his disappearing when other teams put a big body on him.

We knew he could shoot, so his 18 points against LSU were not a huge surprise. What was impressive was his confidence to catch and shoot. Also, he became the defensive force he was supposed to be, the latest in the line of Calipari shot-blockers, from Anthony Davis to Nerlens Noel to Willie Cauley-Stein and Karl-Anthony Towns. And he grabbed some rebounds, controlled the boards, vintage Julius Randle.

In his last two outings, he’s played 34 minutes, scored 29, pulled down 17 rebounds and blocked seven shots. Not a bad night’s work.

So does that mean Kentucky has put all questions behind it as it enters another set of post-season tournaments? Probably not.

Every game will still stand as a test of the team’s progress, another bunch of questions to be answered as to whether all these individual parts have finally, at long last, come together to create an effective, winning whole.

Will another big man (Wayne Selden, Tyler Davis, Damian Jones, John Egbunu) expose Kentucky’s weak inside game?

But then there are the factors that UK fans could sit back and comfortably depend on all season: the smart, savvy running of the offense by Ulis, the incredible ability of Murray to find – and make – his shots.

What if one or both of those factors came up missing in action?

Murray has had off-nights, though not in a very long time. Not since late January, when he scored just 11 in a route of Missouri, followed two nights later by 15 in that anguishing overtime loss to Kansas.

Ulis has had nights lately when his shots weren’t falling, and nights when (I believe) fatigue hampered some of his execution late in closegame losses to Tennessee, Texas A&M and Vanderbilt.

Remember, from here on out, there are no tomorrows, no more “we’ll get back in the gym and work on those things.”

If Skal were to suddenly miss those silky jump shots that swished through the strings against LSU, would he become again the face of disappointment that surfaced with each of Kentucky’s eight losses this year?

The thing that concerns me about this team is that it depends so much on outside shooting, whether from Murray, Willis, Ulis and, now, Skal. Outside shooting can mysteriously disappear. Perhaps it’s worth remembering that of all of Calipari’s Final Four teams, the 2012 champions were least dependent on shooting. The inside work of Anthony Davis, Terrence Jones and Michael Kidd-Gilchrist could make up for any slumps

by Doron Lamb and Darius Miller. This team lacks that muscle, at both ends of the court.

If Briscoe misses some key free throws down the stretch, if Willis’ jump shots hit iron

Still, the teasing emergence of Skal and the return of Willis can only hearten Big Blue

Nation’s hopes going into the second season.

Skal’s 18 points against LSU show that Kentucky maybe has that third offensive weapon that was missing for so much of the season. Teams cannot have three men hounding Murray around the court anymore; Skal will make them use some of their resources to pay attention to him. And so, of course, will Willis.

Other teams now know the two shooters can hurt them. And that opens up the court for Ulis, which opens up every possibility for this Kentucky team. VT W W W . V O I C E -T R I B U N E . C O M • M A R C H 1 0 , 2 0 1 6

The Worst Day of the Year

very March, or April if we’re all fortunate enough, on the day after the final Louisville men’s basketball game of the season, I write a post on my website titled “The Worst Day of the Year.”

the difficult four weeks ahead. This is uncharted and miserable territory for all of us, and whenever that’s the case, the best course of action is difficult to discern. Watch the tournament as an objective viewer, adopt a team for the month, avoid the men’s tournament entirely, whatever.

One thing I do know: I hope my first experience with a set end date to It’s hyperbole only in the sense that a Louisville basketball season is my @cardchronicle there’s no way for me to know what last experience with a set end date to awful things are going to happen on a Louisville basketball season. The last other days. The truth is that, as far as guaranteed five weeks have not been fun, and Saturday night’s depressing occurrences are concerned, being faced loss to Virginia, for both on and off-court reasons, directly with the knowledge that it’ll be another 12 was especially not fun. months before the dream of the mighty Cardinals If there’s a positive to be taken out of all of this, cutting down the nets has a chance to be realized has always ranked right at the top (or the bottom) it’s that hopefully this painful feeling stays lodged of every Mike Rutherford calendar year. It’s some- somewhere in our subconscious and make us enjoy thing I don’t really get over, or allow myself to get what will hopefully be occurring 12 months from now more than we’ve ever enjoyed a Cardinal over, until Derby.

Even during those harrowing times, there was a similarity in the personas of my blue-clad classmates that I did not envy. You see, the morning after games had been played and UK and UofL victories had been secured, my Wildcat friends never seemed as excited about their wins as my Cardinal friends and I were about ours. They spoke loudly and thumped their chests in the same manner that’s still on full display these days, but there was always an absence of joy wrought by the expectation of victory.

We, as Louisville fans, were thrilled about wins and saddened by defeats. They, as Kentucky fans, were satisfied with wins and angered by defeats. I always felt extremely fortunate to be on the former side of the rivalry if for no other reason than that it just seemed like it was the happier place.

In recent years, that tide has changed a little bit.

Where Cardinal fans had once celebrated trips to the second weekend of the NCAA Tournament, they were now expecting them. While this mentality is a goal for most major programs in the country, it also comes with an inherent sacrificing of a certain level of joy. But now, after the year that just took place, there’s no question that Cardinal fans will react as they would to a mid-major making its first tournament appearance when they see the name “Louisville” pop up on the 2017 installment of Selection Sunday.

It doesn’t feel real. It doesn’t feel right, but the beautiful journey came to an expected end, a screeching halt last Saturday night. It will return. It will be fixed, and it will be better. VT PHOTOS BY ADAM CREECH

The connections of all of those horses hope to be part of the big show. The only problem is that, in 2016, the big show could be on the first FRIDAY in May.

Fillies of 2016 Could Be Tougher Than Boys

S

enior leadership is imperative on a high school basketball team, and coaches have a level of expectation for those seniors.

What’s so intriguing is how seniors handle that leadership. Many are vocal and stand as the spirited centerpiece to the team – but not all.

A Silent Assassin High School Sports Report

RANDY WHETSTONE JR.

Such is the case with St. Xavier senior point guard Connor McKim. Considered by Head Coach Kevin Klein as a leader by example, McKim has led the Tigers to an outstanding year through his performance on the hardwood. St. X reached the seventh region championship with a 23-9 record, and McKim has annihilated his opponents all throughout the season.

Spectators outside the St. X community got a good look at McKim in early January in the Republic Bank Louisville Invitational Tournament, where he averaged 26.6 points in the three games St. X played. Perhaps McKim was riding his momentum into the tourney. The prior week, he led St. X to 55-48 win over their rival Trinity, where he posted 31 points. It was the first time they beat Trinity since his freshman season.

When it comes to Trinity though, McKim takes a modest approach. But you wouldn’t be able to tell based on his performance.

“School-wise, there is a dislike there,” he says. “With me, it doesn’t go so deep because

“He only knows how to go hard,” says Klein. “Every cut, every drill and every play is done with a purpose. That is what has allowed him to blossom as a player. When you go hard every day, you can do nothing but get better.

He has put in a lot of time and effort with his game. His actions on that court, the other players have seen and follow.”

For a kid who is an aggressor in the game, outside of school and sport, he has a laid back demeanor. He enjoys watching college basketball, shooting pool in his basement and studying, and this studying isn’t just in his history or science book. He also studies and takes note of NBA superstar Chris Paul. He admits that Paul has enhanced his basketball acumen.

“Chris Paul has one of the highest basketball IQ’s in the NBA and knows where his guys need to be at all times,” he says. “He may not be scoring all the time, but he is going to find guys in open spots. He is someone a lot of point guards can learn from. If you do that, you can be successful.”

As McKim assesses his game, he says that being well-rounded is how he would characterize himself. Coach Klein says his athleticism isn’t the only thing that makes him a standout player and assassin on the court, but it is the intangibles that McKim brings to the St. X team that will make their program special for years to come.

This season, McKim has averaged 24.1 points per game on 50.4 percent shooting. He shoots 83.8 percent from the free throw line and can grab you 3.2 rebounds in each contest also. He doesn’t have to brag and boast about his game; his stats speak for themselves.

“He embodies everything we want a St. X student to be about.

He is humble, hardworking, a selfless teammate and a guy who is about the team first. He is everybody’s biggest fan on the team. That says a lot about his character and who he is as a kid.”

As McKim reaps the harvest as being one of the best guards in the city and state, having a teamfirst attitude played a major part in his being a key component to St. X’s success this season.

Coach continues: “He has raised the bar for what it means to be a St. X basketball player.

Competition brings out the best, and he has competed at the highest levels and had some unbelievable games against some of the top teams in the state. The other guys’ eyes have been opened and have seen how his success is not an accident but because of the type of kid he is and how hard he works. I am proud of him, and his best days have yet to be seen.” VT

“I think a lot of it comes from confidence getting in the gym a lot,” McKim says. “I feel like my teammates are always finding me in the big spots. That is big, so I try to give it back to them by scoring in times that we need. Once I see the ball go through the hoop the first time, I feel like I can fill it up, and that is what has happened in a few games.”

M A R C H 1 0 , 2 0 1 6 • W W W . V O I C E -T R I B U N E . C O M

I am friends with those guys, and I know a lot of them. When you step on the court, none of that goes on through your mind though.

I would be lying if I said it didn’t feel great to finally get that win against them. There is hatred there on the court, but off the court we are all friends.”

EAR ABBY: I’ve been estranged from my three siblings, their spouses and their families for 35 years – my choice. There has been no correspondence, and I have seen them only at our parents’ funerals.

Dear Abby JEANNE PHILLIPS

Since we are all in our 80s, I anticipate there will be funerals for us in the next decade. If I go first, there is no problem. However, I’m considering not attending their funerals or those of their spouses. My grown children say I MUST attend because I’m their brother. I’m concerned that I might be a distraction or there could be a confrontation. Besides, I still remember what caused my estrangement, and I just don’t want to see them. I know I’m stubborn, but am I wrong?

– TO GO OR NOT TO GO DEAR GO OR NO: I disagree with your children. People attend funerals to pay their respects to the deceased and/or comfort the family who has suffered the loss. If, after 35 years, you show up at the funeral, you could, indeed, be a distraction – unless it has been so long that nobody recognizes you.

••• DEAR ABBY: Is it wrong to have no interest in grandchildren? My wife is five years older than I am and she’s elated with our new grandchild. I’m only 42 and I feel I’m too young to be a “Gramps.” I prefer to be free from kid activities and enjoy my adult pursuits.

I have raised children for the last 20-plus years and I think it’s my stepdaughter’s turn to be a parent. My wife is all gung ho to watch the grandchild anytime she’s free, but I’m not interested at all.

Am I wrong for wanting my own time and space with my wife? – TOO YOUNG FOR IT IN OKLAHOMA DEAR TOO YOUNG: No law says you must babysit if you don’t want to. Not everyone enjoys the company of small children. If your wife enjoys doing it, that’s her privilege.

However, if the babysitting is interfering with your marriage, then you’re complaining to the wrong woman, and the two of you need to work out a compromise on which you can both agree.

••• DEAR ABBY: I have very long hair, and

I’m proud of it. I have worn my hair long ever since I was a little girl. My problem is when I go somewhere, other women come up to me and start touching it.

at a table, conversations are not private, but open and shared with others. She disagreed and insisted I was wrong. Have I been rude all of my life? Please settle this for us. – CURIOUS IN NEW JERSEY

I understand that they like my hair because they always compliment me on it, but I hate it when strangers touch me. Apparently, people have forgotten the concept of “personal space.”

DEAR CURIOUS: You have not been rude all your life. However, in this case you were foolish to put yourself in the middle of a sibling conflict – one that has probably been going on since the sisters were children. The next time it happens – and it will – pretend that you are Switzerland and remain neutral.

•••

How can I tell someone – without sounding rude – to please not touch me? Or must I just keep quiet and tolerate it with a smile? – RAPUNZEL IN DALLAS DEAR RAPUNZEL: Not everyone enjoys being touched, particularly by strangers. If someone reaches out to pet you, smile, step back and say, “I’d prefer you not do that.” You have a right to your personal space. As long as you say it in a pleasant but firm tone, no one has the right to be offended. And if someone is, refrain from making it your problem.

••• DEAR ABBY: My husband of 40 years is a smoker. I am not, but have learned to live with the smell, etc. Most of the time, he smokes outside, except in winter, when he opens the bathroom window, smokes his cigarette, puts it out in the toilet and disposes of the butt in the trash can.

He has begun a new behavior that is really bothering me. When he wakes up in the middle of the night to use the bathroom, he’ll light up a cigarette, take a few puffs and then put it out and return to bed. When he gets back in our bed, he stinks! And he coughs and coughs.

I try not to nag him about his smoking, but I’d really like to bring this up. Any suggestions on how? – IN A STINK IN ALASKA DEAR IN A STINK: If your husband can’t sleep through the night without smoking, it should be obvious to you that your husband is seriously addicted to nicotine. How sad for him. Suggest that he keep a pack of nicotine gum in the medicine cabinet and chew it rather than light up before he returns to bed. That may solve your problem.

••• DEAR ABBY: We rented a house for my companion’s sibling reunion. During a conversation over breakfast, one sister became extremely upset with another sister for inserting herself into the conversation. I tried to make light of the situation and remarked to the offended sister that in a social gathering

51

DEAR ABBY: Four years ago I had major affection for a man. We talked every chance we could. We arranged times we could sit together and just talk. There was lots of flirting, eye contact and this overwhelming feeling of bliss – butterflies in the stomach – all of that.

The problem was he was married. Once I realized it, I was devastated because I understood what I wanted could never be. I feel so lost. I’m now considering going to counseling.

I still hear from others that he mentions me or says he misses me, but this is old news. Now there’s someone else, and it’s the same problem – just a different setting.

I feel so guilty for crushing on unattainable men. What’s wrong with me? Why can’t I like someone who is available? I’ve liked guys my own age before and ones who were single, but there’s something exciting about older unavailable men.

I don’t want to feel this way, but I know that when I try to fight these feelings they just become stronger. I won’t act on them, but I wish I could change them. How can I? – FEELING GUILTY IN OHIO DEAR FEELING GUILTY: The quickest way to do that would be to talk about these feelings with a licensed mental health professional. When you do, be prepared to touch on all of your relationships with men, including your father – who is usually the first “unattainable” man with whom a little girl falls in love.

I am pretty sure you will find that conversation illuminating.

Once you understand your feelings, it may be easier for you to find a man who is truly available – if a relationship beyond a mad flirtation is what you really want, that is.

SPOTLIGHT Drag Brunch at Garage Bar The Kentuckiana AIDS Alliance seeks to advocate for those affected with HIV/AIDS and to empower service organizations that work to support the HIV/AIDS community. On March 19, the Alliance is throwing a Drag Brunch of a lifetime at Garage Bar featuring Louisville’s best queens (and kings!) all to raise funds for the 2016 Louisville AIDS Walk. Formerly hosted at 21c Museum Hotel, this year the brunch will take place at Garage from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. To learn more about the event, we spoke with Maggie Smith, general manager of Garage Bar. What is the story behind the Drag Brunch?

Drag Brunch is a fundraiser that the Kentuckiana AIDS Alliance (KAA) formerly held at Proof on Main at the 21c Museum Hotel during which celebrity drag queens (usually from “RuPaul’s Drag Race”) performed for the crowd to raise money for local HIV/AIDS services in Kentuckiana. It was developed as a way to celebrate and support those who are living with these illnesses while promoting awareness of the ongoing issues surrounding the health crisis as well as love and acceptance for those affected. Now, through the partnerships between KAA, Garage Bar, Play, Watershed and Modern Louisville, we’re bringing Drag Brunch back with a new focus on local talent and diversity. Louisville-based drag queens Reva Deveraux, Savana Lynn and Satine St. Claire will slay and shashay alongside local drag kings Corey Castle and TB Sparrow with special guest emcee Wil Heuser.

What can guests expect at the event?

Guests can expect a delicious brunch buffet prepared by Garage Bar’s executive chef, Richard Sible; an extravaganza of performances by each of the three drag queens and two drag kings, a blessing of the event by the Derby

City Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence; and a special performance by emcee Wil Heuser. DJ Brios will be keeping the music lively while a Garage Bar spread for brunch is enjoyed along with a mimosa cocktail from the sponsor spirit company Watershed Distillery. Raffle prizes will be drawn throughout the afternoon, and attendees will receive free admission to Play that evening to keep the party going all night long.

How does the Louisville community benefit from the brunch?

Louisville benefits from this event from the community involvement and awareness it fosters as well as through the continued presence and support of the KAA as it works to fund important HIV/AIDS programs and services. The services and support provide critical programs to Metro Louisville and surrounding counties and serve our most vulnerable populations.

New this season: Large selection of Plus sized fashions!

Any big plans for the future of this event?

We only hope for it to grow. This is our first year hosting, and next year will only get better as we try to outdo ourselves. We certainly have big plans! Involving more sponsors and learning from this year will be big parts of that! I’m sure each year it will get better and better!

Is it too late to get tickets?

We still have lots of seats available. Just call Garage Bar at 502.749.7100 to make a reservation. The tickets are $45 each and include a donation to the KAA, unlimited brunch buffet, a mimosa cocktail and entrance to Play that evening. VT

Manganaro’s son, Cole, and another volunteer’s daughter, Kennet Clark, provide some childlike joy to what could be interpreted as a grim scene. Wendy Manganaro and I hand out the much-anticipated hot, home-cooked meals, and I grab the “sack meals” for the next day’s working lunch hour.

Believe it or not, many of our homeless actually do have jobs, many from Labor Works.

I strike up a conversation with S.W., who has a college degree, and his two-man tent mate, Jeff, who is a certified welder. An articulate man,

the Waterfront to Shively, creating a direct outreach to the truly homeless. At the Second and Broadway McDonald’s, we fed two dozen from the back of the truck. Jean carries first aid items, particularly for foot care, critical to walking to day shelters and job interviews.

Jean and Wendy Manganaro are empathetic to their plight. He has firsthand experience with homelessness and addiction, having spent five years on the streets as a teenager. Alcoholics Anonymous has been his path to 25 years of sobriety. Both parents work full-time and manage their home and this complex charitable organization, and 10-year-old Cole runs Fed With Faith Kids, providing toys and other “kid stuff ” to the children of the homeless.

Wendy and Cole Manganaro.

120 hot meals and 200 sack meals are served per week, equating to 30,000 combined meals per year. Hot boxes always have meat, a side, bread and dessert. The sack meals contain chips, sandwiches, granola bars or homemade granola, plus canned foods which easily “keep.” Local restaurants support the effort with regular contributions.

At Beargrass Christian Church, the gathering point, Pastor Leigh Bond speaks with pride. “There are over a dozen cooks preparing that food. It’s 100 percent volunteer, 100 percent private donation-based. They’re out ’til all hours, saving people’s lives. They perform miracles in getting the tents and sternos and all the other supplies they give out. It’s the loaves and fishes every week. They don’t know where the food is going to come from, but every time, it comes rolling in.”

FWF provides socks, shoes, personal care items, blankets, even books. 13 to 15 cases of water are dropped off in the winter, double that in the summer. Support is extended to new apartment dwellers with “starter kits” and six months of weekly grocery boxes. Only one or two out of every 10 people make it off the street into housing.

Jean also creates a full dossier on each individual, including family contacts, health status, Social Security numbers and more. He’ll accompany rape victims to the hospital, sponsor the detoxing, provide a “community tie” at court dates and help those escaping domestic violence. The coroner can look to Jean for help identifying a John Doe and informing next of kin. I share the availability of assistance via Bridgehaven Mental Health Services, which offers full Medicaid admission and has a grant to provide for the many untreated mentally ill among the homeless population.

Many of the persons served

by Fed With Faith have animals for protection and companionship. A partnering organization, My Dog Eats First, collects and donates supplies such a kitty litter, leashes, carriers, food and veterinary services such as spay/ neuter and rabies shots. VT

HOUSE OF RUTH

SOCIETY OF ST. VINCENT DE PAUL

VOLUNTEERS OF AMERICA OF KENTUCKY

House of Ruth is a nonprofit organization that strengthens lives for those with or affected by HIV/ AIDS. House of Ruth staff, board members, volunteers and donors help strengthen lives for more than 1,300 people, including nearly 250 children and 700 households each year. Any individual living in our region with HIV/AIDS and those living in the same household (including children) qualify for admission to House of Ruth’s General Assistance Program.

The Louisville Council of the Society of St. Vincent De Paul has offered food, shelter and hope in the Louisville area since 1853. In 1983, The Council decided to begin a number of special works on its inner-city campus to address larger issues such as hunger, homelessness and addiction. The scope of services has evolved since that time and St. Vincent de Paul currently operates twelve programs offering emergency shelter to permanent housing for approximately 300 homeless or formerly homeless individuals and families.

Volunteers of America of Kentucky, Inc. creates positive change in the lives of individuals and communities through a ministry of service. Touted as the first program of its kind in Louisville, their Family Emergency Shelter provides shelter, individualized care and goal-setting for families experiencing homelessness.

Located in Butchertown, Hildegard House is dedicated to providing quality end-of-life care to those without a home or without anyone to care for them. The house is not yet open but it is seeking volunteers to train as Compassionate Companions, a position that will only require a five hour per week commitment.

DARE TO CARE FOOD BANK On Thanksgiving Eve, 1969, 9-year-old Bobby Ellis died of malnutrition in his Louisville home. The stunned Kentuckiana community took action and created Dare to Care Food Bank to ensure that no one lacks enough food to live an active, healthy life.

Since 1974, YMCA Safe Place Services, based in Louisville, has been the only place a youth can initiate free 24-hour help by themselves. They serve those in the Metro Louisville area, including Jefferson, Oldham and Bullitt counties, with a philosophy that youth and families are the experts of their own strengths, needs and aspirations. Their programs include Shelter House, Project Safe Place, Street Outreach, Truancy Diversion and Y-NOW Mentoring.

ST. JOHN CENTER FOR HOMELESS MEN

HOME OF THE INNOCENTS

Choices, Inc. provides supported housing, case management and life skills training to homeless families and homeless single women with mental and/or physical disabilities.

By providing shelter, social services, supportive housing and serving as a hub with partner agencies, St. John Center is where homeless men seek help, find hope and move forward.

Home of the Innocents has been helping at-risk young adults (18 to 24 years of age) successfully transition to independence and self-sufficiency for almost 20 years.

In 2011, a group of Since 2011, the program’s focus these providers decided that NICHOLAS has been on Louisville’s chronically the key to fixing the problem SIEGEL homeless as a whole, but in 2015, was to create a program that it was decided to narrow that would put everyone on the focus to one particular group: veterans.

“Everybody is so strapped for resources and staff and funding that it is all they can do to just focus on serving the next client in front of them,” says Natalie Harris, executive director

At the end of the year, Rx: Housing passed the tracking of veterans off to Volunteers of America, who coordinates the Supportive Services for Veterans Families Program.

Rx: Housing’s focus returns to the chronically homeless in 2016, which is not without its challenges. There were certain federal resources available for helping veterans that won’t be available for the broader population. There also tends to be a greater sympathy from the community at large when it comes to veterans that can be difficult to match for the rest of the homeless.

But Harris is optimistic about the program’s aspirations.

we have that plan created now – and we have identified and have that list of names – 490 chronically homeless people in the city,” she says. “Our goal is to have all of those people housed by the end of the year.”

There is plenty of important work being done in Louisville to end these problems, but it can be easy for our service providers to be overwhelmed. The potential for coordination is what spawned the idea for Rx: Housing back in 2011. Harris recalled a meeting with the mayor – a moment where the importance of communication was obvious:

“Our goal in 2016 is to have reached functional zero with the chronically homeless – and

“The mayor brought everybody together when we were going to first talk about the veterans goal, and he asked everyone to go around the room and to say if

they thought we could meet the goal and what would be the thing that we would need to meet that goal. And almost every person in the room said collaboration.” And collaboration is what continues to make the program’s efforts so successful.

In 1958, the Trappist monk and spiritual writer Thomas Merton had a famous revelation.

He wrote, “In Louisville, at the corner of Fourth and Walnut, in the center of the shopping district, I was suddenly overwhelmed with the realization that I loved all those people, that they were mine and I theirs, that we could not be alien to one another even though we were total strangers.”

Louisville has always been a city of insight and love, and to provide the less fortunate with basic human rights such as housing is one of the most important parts of who we are.

With careful communication between service providers and help from the community, Rx: Housing’s goal of getting as many of our homeless into permanent housing is both noble and realistic. VT

“There are about 25 to 30 new homeless veterans who become homeless in any given month,” says Harris, “so they are still working really hard to find out who those new veterans are, put them on the list and then to track the people who are on the list to make sure we never get above that 25 to 30 a month.”

T H U R S DAY, M A R C H 1 0 “THE CHILDREN’S HOUR” PRESENTED BY PANDORA PRODUCTIONS Pandora Productions continues the 2015-2016 season with Lillian Hellman’s “The Children’s Hour,” a play that was too scandalous to be considered for a Pulitzer in 1934 due to its lesbian theme. The play explores issues of homosexual persecution in that time period, and Pandora is proud to bring this play to life during Women’s History Month. Karen and Martha run a girl’s school in 1930s New England, where they become entangled in a devastating story of deceit, shame and courage. When a student is punished for one of her many misdeeds, the mean-spirited youngster rushes to her rich, indulgent grandmother to explain why she has run away from school. She accuses her teachers of having an “unnatural relationship” and blackmails another student into corroborating her accusation. This whisper spreads and triggers a chain of events with extraordinary consequences. The production will run March 10, 11, 12, 17, 18, 19 at 7:30 p.m. and March 13 and 20 at 5:30 p.m. with the only matinee set for March 19 at 2 p.m. The play will be performed at Pandora’s home theatre in the Henry Clay building located at 604 S. Third St., third floor in downtown Louisville. Tickets are $20 in advance.

Pierrepont Finch, who uses a little handbook to climb the corporate ladder, tackling such familiar but potent dangers as the aggressively compliant “company man,” the office party, backstabbing co-workers, caffeine addiction and, of course, true love. With a score by Frank Loesser and a book by Abe Borrows, Jack Weinstock and Willie Gilbert, “How to Succeed” keeps winning audiences over generation after generation. The show runs through April 10 at CenterStage at the Jewish Community Center, and tickets are $20 in advance.

DECISION MAKING & DIVERSITY WITH BRIAN SIMS Nationally renowned women’s rights and LGBTQ advocate Brian Sims will come to Kentuckiana to speak on strategic leadership in diversity and how today, more than ever, one voice can be the catalyst for change. He was recently included in The Advocate’s annual list of 40 “exemplary” LGBTQ people who are fighting important battles for social justice and named one of the “Eight LGBT Names to Know in 2016” by the Washington Post. He has been called “Philly’s brains and brawn with a cause” in his home state of Pennsylvania, where he is an accomplished legislator (and the general assembly’s first out LGBTQ member) and a widely respected policy and civil rights attorney. Sims is a former student-athlete who broke barriers by bravely coming out, becoming the first openly gay football captain in NCAA history. He has traveled across Japan with U.S. Ambassador Caroline Kennedy speaking on the importance of human rights. He is a published writer who regularly contributes to The HRC Backstory, The Advocate, The Legal Intelligencer and numerous other publications.

Sims has been a guest speaker for corporations such as Microsoft and Comcast and has been chosen as the IU Southeast Common Experience’s spring keynote speaker. The event will take place at the IUS Ogle Center, and admission is free.

No WTF for ‘Whiskey Tango Foxtrot’

A

s a movie fanatic, there is something deadly about feeling aware that I am sitting in a theatre watching a movie. The seductive quality of a good movie distracts me from my popcorn, soda and some jerk texting away on their phone.

The inept jaw-dropping embarrassment of a bad movie can do the same. It’s when a movie stands in the middle with a generic sense of purpose and almost no sense of identity that my awareness of time and space in the real world take hold and I wonder what I’ll be doing after it’s over – aside from figuring out how to review it.

ence of intense reporting aided by hard drinking.

Film BENNETT DUCKWORTH

bennettduckworth.blogspot.com

Margot Robbie and Martin Freeman both play reporters who simultaneously scare and seduce Fey’s character with the dangerous version of journalism they embrace. At the same time, she’s given wise advice by her Afghan guide who recognizes her addiction to reckless risk-taking.

Journalist Kim Barker’s book, “The Taliban Shuffle: Strange Days in Afghanistan and Pakistan” has been loosely adapted into a loosely funny feature called “Whiskey Tango Foxtrot” starring Tina Fey – who also produced the film. Like a lot of Tina Fey vehicles, this one is compelled by tough subject matter but aims for the safety of the broad appeal she’s always managed to win.

Glenn Ficarra and John Requa may have been responsible for writing the lowbrow masterpiece “Bad Santa,” but their turn as directors-for-hire hasn’t proved to be anything worth their time. They shoot the film with competent realism, but first-time screenwriter Robert Carlock (TV’s “30 Rock”) has created a bunch of material that seems tailored for Fey’s keeping-it-together comedy shtick. He also tries to focus the humor toward the after-hours debauchery of eccentric journalists, as if the R-rated depravity substitutes for the endless missed opportunities of political satire. The combined ingredients of this movie just don’t gel.

John Stewart’s 2014 film “Rosewater” may not have been a great film, but it was driven with more determination and thematic focus from a comedian finding a meaningful way to tackle the threatening anti-comedy of our world’s troubles.

Fey’s character is a journalist who jumps at the opportunity to work as a war correspondent in Afghanistan near the end of 2003, leaving a life and relationship on hold.

What is supposed to be a three-month job turns into a three-year experiM A R C H 1 0 , 2 0 1 6 • W W W . V O I C E -T R I B U N E . C O M

The guide is played by Christopher Abbott, who, along with Alfred Molina, does good work in this film with an Afghan character. But this seems like the wrong kind of movie to continue the longstanding tradition of failing to employ Middle-Eastern actors in roles written for them. Hell, “Iron Man” did a better job in this area.

Despite its heavy language and racy scenes, “Whiskey Tango Foxtrot” is a rather banal experience that let me know how low its ambitions were quite early on – and it fulfilled them as it only inspired a steady flow of chuckles combined with tension that lacks any real sense of dread. As I feel no sense of satisfaction or outrage, I would say that “WTF” does not live up to its title. VT
