IN THE MATTER OF THE ADOPTION OF: ARLIE SATTERLEY

V O I C E -T R I B U N E . C O M • J U N E 9 , 2 0 1 6

The child born to Jessica Nicole Brown on April 2, 2015, and Zachary Keith Satterley, who has been named the father of the child or any person who claims to be the father of the child born to Jessica Nicole Brown on April 2, 2015, is notified that a Petition for Adoption of the child was filed in the Office of the Clerk of Floyd County, in New Albany, Indiana, 47150.

The petition for adoption alleges that the consent to adoption of Arlie Satterley is not required by either parent per Indiana Code 31-19-9-8(a) (2) and (b) as the natural parents have not had meaningful contact or provided for the support for the child for a period exceeding one year and adoption is in the child’s best interests.

If the natural mother and putative father seek to contest the adoption of the child, a motion to contest the adoption must be filed in accordance with Indiana Code 31-19-10-1 in the above-named Court within thirty (30) days after the date of service of this Notice. This Notice may be served by publication.

If a motion to contest the adoption is not filed by the natural mother, or putative father within thirty (30) days after service of this Notice, the above-named Court shall hear and determine the Petition for Adoption.

The natural mother and putative father’s consent is irrevocably implied and the natural parents lose the right to contest the adoption or the validity of the natural parents’ implied consent to the adoption. The putative father loses the right to establish paternity of the child under I.C. 31-14.

Nothing that anyone else says to the natural mother and putative father of the child relieves the natural parents of their obligations under this Notice. Under Indiana law, a putative father is a person who is named as or claims he may be the father of the child born out of wedlock but who has not yet been legally proven to be the child’s father.

This notice complies with IC 31-19-4.5-3 and IC 31-19-4-4 but does not exhaustively set forth a person’s legal obligations under the Indiana adoption statutes. A person being served with this notice should consult the Indiana adoption statutes. /s/Christina M. Eurton_____________ CLERK, FLOYD COUNTY COURT

On Friday night when word began circulating that Muhammad Ali, civil rights leader and three-time heavyweight champion of the world, had fallen ill, the worldwide response was immediate sadness, and when his death was announced shortly after,

the grieving began.

After a decades long fight with Parkinson’s, The Champ’s death shouldn’t have been a surprise, and yet somehow, it was.

He was a titan, whose death seemed unimaginable. As tributes accumulate around the world, grief and memes inundate social media and the world wide web, and funeral plans are made for Friday, Louisville mourns the passing of her greatest son.

Ali was, of course, born Cassius Clay here in Louisville, Kentucky. Though many celebrities change their names, there have been none whose decision sparked quite as much buzz and gossip – no doubt because Ali’s change actually meant something in a time when America itself was struggling with change.

“SERVICE TO OTHERS IS THE RENT YOU PAY FOR YOUR ROOM HERE ON EARTH.” MUHAMMAD

ALI

Clay started boxing at 12 and began wracking up titles, winning numerous golden gloves. He went to the Olympics in Rome in 1960 and won the gold. At the age of 22, he won his first heavyweight championship, becoming the youngest boxer to ever hold the title. He went on to win the title two more times, once after his ejection from the sport due to his refusal to fight in the Vietnam War. Untold volumes have been written chronicling every jab and step of his storied career. I’ll leave those descriptions to the sports writers.

Many are quick to claim Ali as their own; Louisville sure isn’t quiet about its love for him. But have a care with how you speak. Don’t say he transcended race.

Don’t say he belonged to all of us. Though he shared pieces of himself with people of many races and creeds, Ali was unapologetically, happily and beautifully black.

It’s in his very name, which most sports writers refused to even use in 1964 when he joined the Nation of Islam

In this day and age of constant celebrity worship, it’s easy to feel like you have a personal relationship with your favorite. Ali is no exception and perhaps even more prone to personal deification than most. The protean puncher was so many different things in his life.

draft dodges included moving to Canada, enrolling in college or using money or family connections to serve in the Coast Guard. Ali didn’t dodge – he stood his ground.

shortly after his rise to fame. He was friends with Malcolm X, and in fact, Martin Luther King Jr. claimed to have been inspired by Ali to start speaking out against the war in Vietnam.

Ali understood the power of words and deeds, and he used the one to back up the other. He went to jail for what he believed in. He sacrificed his prime fighting years for what he believed in. He waited while his case wound its way through the courts, eventually being settled by the Supreme Court in Ali’s favor. While banned from boxing, Ali toured the country speaking against the draft at universities.

In his autobiography, “The Greatest: My Own Story,” Ali claimed that he threw his Olympic gold medal off the Clark Memorial Bridge in disillusionment after being denied service at a “whites only” restaurant. The story has been denied by some of his friends, but whether or not it’s true, it’s a story that Ali chose to tell and a perfect example of the way that he used his achievements and his voice to champion the cause of equality. He didn’t transcend race; he held it up for the world to see.

The draft ended in 1972. Ali outlived it by three decades. He didn’t dodge; he delivered body blows.

Like many, I am more impressed by the man’s achievements outside the ring. As a pacifist since kindergarten, it meant a lot to me to be able to hold up one of the toughest men who ever lived and point to his conscientious objection.

It’s impossible to know exactly how much boxing took out of Ali and how much it affected his onset of Parkinson’s – expect experts to weigh in and argue in the coming days. It’s also difficult to know if any of The Champ’s symptoms stemmed from non-Parkinson’s related Traumatic Brain Injury. TBI is still being researched, and sports-related injuries are always hotly contested.

At the time, and even now in the days after his death, people called Ali a draft dodger. It’s hard to think of a more ridiculous statement. During Vietnam, popular

loved one thought he was the greatest.

But there is no question that Ali faded in his later years, beginning with the end of his career and subsequently the announcement of illness a few years after his retirement.

His goodwill and grace through illness makes it easy to forget his spitfire days. Don’t. It’s become easy to focus on his charm and his athletic achievements without consideration to the firestorms he created. Don’t.

In his illness, Ali took fewer bold stances. The Champ was fighting for his life against a degenerative disease.

The fact that he kept it at bay for as long as he did is a credit to his strength.

It’s indeed also worth remembering that the young hell-raiser wasn’t without his own faults. His skin was several shades lighter than his long time rival Joe Frazier, and Ali never let Frazier forget it, often taunting him with racially charged terms like “Gorilla” and “Uncle Tom.” Trash talk was a regular fixture of Ali’s fight strategy and easy to admire, but Frazier claims that the verbal abuse had lasting effects on him emotionally.

To a generation of millennials and Gen X-ers, he is a kindly grandfather, not a virile pot-stirrer, not a smart mouth sultan of smack talk. He faded, but there is no end to reports and personal stories, especially in Louisville, that suggest there was still plenty of Ali in there.

So many people in this town have little stories about him. They’ll tell you about when they were a kid and an older African-American gentleman approached them, did a magic trick, smiled with a twinkle in his eye and marched off. Maybe they met him at a fundraiser for charity; Ali was always quick to give back to causes in his hometown. Perhaps they got one chance to tell him that their dad always watched the fights with them and that a

Not that his greatness is likely to be forgotten, not around the world and not here in his hometown. The Muhammad Ali Center is a shining jewel in our revitalized downtown. It’s just a few blocks away from Muhammad Ali Boulevard, and if you’re so inclined, you can take Muhammad Ali Boulevard down to the West End and visit Ali’s boyhood home.

Throughout the weekend, well-wishers and mourners visited both, lining the streets with flowers, boxing gloves and heartfelt homemade signs. On Friday before The Champ’s funeral at the KFC Yum! Center, a memorial procession will wind its way past all the sites.

The city has launched a special website, alilouisville.com, to help fans and mourners navigate the city, and foreign dignitaries and celebrities including Bill Clinton, Billy Crystal and Bryant Gumble will speak at the funeral. Ali will be laid to rest in Cave Hill Cemetery, and his grave will no doubt become a destination for tourists and fans who will stand in his final resting place and remember the greatest of all time.

For me, I’ll go down to the Second Street bridge and think about the power of words and gestures and standing up for what you believe in – even when it costs.

And I’ll go ahead and say we ought to change the name of that bridge. Doesn’t The Muhammad Ali Bridge sound like a winner? VT

Hands of a Healer, Eyes of an Artist

n Dr. Julene Samuels’ office, there is no guessing, no speculation. You’ll never meet a condescending glance.

The moment never comes when you need to worry about the doctor’s decisions.

It’s a straightforward place.

Business WES KERRICK

On the third floor of The Springs Medical Center on Dutchmans Parkway, Samuels treats her patients with “a skillful, caring approach, with a woman’s touch.”

The aesthetic plastic surgeon has a gift for putting people at ease. She attributes that gift to the fact that she is a woman practicing in a field where most patients are also women. She gets them.

“It’s the demeanor as well,” she says, “not wanting to appear like I’m superior to them in any way.”

Samuels typically spends an hour to an hour and a half with patients on their first visit. Men, who still account for a small minority of her patients, are turning out in ever-increasing numbers.

“If you sit down on your stool and you just have a friendly conversation with somebody and, in the appropriate places, let them get to know you – whether it’s through humor or just honesty – people really appreciate that.”

Having practiced cosmetic surgery since 1994, Samuels has seen aesthetic treatments by other practitioners come and go. Some of them have left patients disappointed.

A part-time clinical faculty member at UofL, Samuels stresses the importance of knowing your doctor’s credentials. Looking at the wall in her office, it’s clear she isn’t lacking.

Certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery. Certified by the American Board of Surgery.

Awarded Fellowship in the American College of Surgeons. Member of the American Society of Plastic Surgeons. Member of the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery.

The list goes on.

Samuels begins by asking patients what aspect of their body they see as a flaw. She asks them to describe the look they’d like instead.

And she listens.

Then she explains all the options. Instead of just telling them what she thinks they should do, she gives them enough information to make their own decisions.

“They have to know the ins and outs or they’re not a partner in the proposition,” she says. “And I am responsible for the result, but if a patient has weighed in on the decision about what the aesthetic goal is, then we’re partners in that decision.”

Samuels says the objective of any good aesthetic surgeon is to improve people’s looks while maintaining all the natural characteristics that make them uniquely beautiful. She always goes for timeless beauty, not just what happens to be trendy.

“Helping somebody look – in their eyes – better, but not too different, is a goal.”

Over the years, as her practice has grown, Samuels has been careful to continue giving every patient her full attention.

“They want my time, and I respect that because their time is as valuable as mine,” she says. “Our goal is to have people think they’re the only one we’re taking care of right now.”

With expertise and attentiveness, Samuels always aims to create a “boutique” experience that she hopes will exceed her patients’ expectations.

“It becomes, then, more like a calling than just a job,” she says. “And that’s the difference – because people can go anywhere and get a filler. They can go anywhere and get a breast implant. They can go to a multitude of offices and get Botox. But at the end of every knife and at the end of every needle is the artist.”

Indeed, Samuels likens her work to painting a canvas. It was the synthesis of art and science that attracted her to cosmetic surgery in the first place.

“It doesn’t matter if it’s just a filler or Botox. The artistic sense of the person doing that procedure is paramount in terms of the result.” VT For more information, call 502.897.9411 or visit awomanstouchmd.com.

Even though that weekend didn’t go as LouisAmong that group will be the Derby ville had planned, the Alis made sure McDonnell was aware that they were expecting to City’s most famous family.

Muhammad Ali, whose son Asaad played for Louisville from 2009 to 2012, and his wife, Lonnie, have long been adamant supporters of the baseball program and had been planning on making the trip to Omaha last summer if the Cards had made it to the sport’s biggest stage. Even without the family patriarch, Lonnie Ali wanted to let Coach Dan McDonnell know last weekend that she was still hoping to make that trip in 2016.

have a long and successful summer of Cardinal baseball to follow.

“Even through this sad time, there’s been a lot of correspondence back and forth between myself and the Ali family, and I’ve shared that with the team,” McDonnell said. “Lonnie is closely following us, and that’s a nice distrac-

tion to keep her mind off other things. She’s made it clear that they plan on being with us in Omaha next weekend, and we hope to hold up our end of that bargain.”

After Ali’s passing late Friday night, each member of the Cardinal baseball team wrote “Ali” in Sharpie on the side of their hats as a tribute during their games on Saturday and Sunday. McDonnell says the team will have a tribute patch stitched into their cap for this weekend’s super regional series against UC-Santa Barbara and then hopefully again for the College World Series the week after that.

“We felt like this is an appropriate thing to do because of his connection to the program but also because of his connection to the university and to the city,” McDonnell said.

“We’re the major university here in this great city that Muhammad Ali meant so much to.

There’s a real sense of pride that we’re able to wear his name on our hat and let the rest of the world know how special he was to all of us here in Louisville.” VT

Lonnie Ali spoke at the 2014 Muhammad Ali Humanitarian Awards.

“Many people were disappointed that we didn’t make it to Omaha last year, and the Ali family was one of them,” McDonnell said after his team’s 15-3 win over Ohio State last Saturday. “They were planning to meet us out there last year, so Lonnie and I spoke several times throughout the year to say, ‘Do your best to get to Omaha because the Alis want to be to there.’ Lonnie had somebody text me last night to make sure we knew they were thinking about us and that they were still planning to go to Omaha. So I shared that story with the players.”

When he was in town during the spring months, Ali was a frequent visitor to Jim Patterson Stadium and a staunch supporter of the baseball program. His appearances in Athletic Director Tom Jurich’s suite behind home plate often provided added inspiration for UofL in big games.

“I always knew he was from Louisville, but I didn’t realize how connected he was to the university until I got here,” McDonnell said.

“He loved baseball, and he loved supporting this program.”

This year, the Ali family introduced the Muhammad Ali Leadership Scholarship, which will be given annually to a player on J U N E 9 , 2 0 1 6 • V O I C E -T R I B U N E . C O M

Cardinal baseball earned a fourth consecutive trip to the NCAA super regional with a 3-1 win over Wright State on June 5. UofL’s Nick Solak pulled off a two-run homer at the top of the fourth and an impressive single at the top of the fifth to put some points on the board. Drew Harrington also dominated with over seven scoreless innings, backing his well-deserved title as AAC Pitcher of the Year.

ne night, about 15 years ago, my son called me on his cell phone from New York. He had just stepped out of a restaurant in SoHo and said the most famous person on Earth was outside on the sidewalk. I didn’t have to think about who it was for four seconds.

The answer was that obvious.

Muhammad Ali.

By 1967, when Ali refused to stand up for the draft, it only fueled the tension, but it made him a hero to many – especially to young idealists who were also refusing the call to arms in Vietnam.

A Word From New Hall of Famers On Thursday, June 2, the Kentucky Athletic Hall of Fame welcomed the Class of 2016. The new inductees included 2005 NFL MVP Shaun Alexander, Western Kentucky and Kentucky Colonels sharpshooter Darel Carrier, Bellarmine Head Basketball Coach Scotty Davenport, former Oldham County and Tennessee star Kyra Elzy, Belfry High School Head Football Coach Philip Haywood, Kentucky Wesleyan play-by-play man Joel Utley and Lakeside Swim Club. They each will have a plaque on the concourse of Freedom Hall.

Is this about as good as it gets for you?

Scotty Davenport: As a personal honor, throughout the state of Kentucky, for someone who has coached at all levels – high school to Division I – it is the greatest honor as an individual that I could ever dream of.

wonderful time here just hanging out with high school friends and seeing my family. This is just special – it’s always good to come back to my old Kentucky home.

Taylor’s 10 KENT TAYLOR

Does it take you back to Boone County where it all started?

Alexander: I got to play for a living You’ve read the plaques in legend in coach Owen Hauck, and he WAVE3 Sports Freedom Hall. Did it ever cross just passed a couple months ago. I saw your mind that you could have your own? some old teammates at his funeral, but to come Davenport: No, never. I’ve read them since I was back on a brighter moment, it’s special.

9 years old, and when you go through and you read them and you grow up reading them, you follow those people and you embrace what they stand for.

No, you would never dream of this in your wildest dreams. You could be the most optimistic person in the world, but this is a dream come true.

You’ve had some honors (NFL MVP), and you were Alabama’s all-time leading rusher until recently. What does this honor mean to you?

Shaun Alexander: It’s always special to do anything back where you were raised. I’ve had such a

After you’ve been away from it for a few years and you look back on what you were able to accomplish, does it amaze you?

Alexander: I get the opportunity to share a story of a thankful person. I’ve got to be around so many great teammates, so many great coaches, so many great friends that are still friends today – from high school to college to pros. I’m thankful. A lot of times, people have hard times looking back; I just don’t because I get to smile and think about the people that I got to be around.

Derrrick Henry got the Heisman Trophy. Couldn’t he have left the all-time rushing record to you? (Henry rushed for 3,591 yards, Alexander for 3,565 yards) Alexander: He almost smashed every single one of them by the time he got done with that bowl game, but you know, I think at Alabama, it’s just like in high school and in Seattle. You try to grow a team and you pass torches, and so it’s never about what you do – it’s about what you do when you have the torch in your hand. I did all I could do to break every record and leave that place better than when I got there, and that’s what I did. Derrick had to do his job just like he did, and they’ve got a pretty sweet running back down there now from Kentucky. He’s going to get the opportunity to carry the torch.

In the big picture of things, where does this rank for you?

Kyra Elzy: I am so honored. I am just blessed, speechless. I cannot think of what I want to say – I’m going through so many emotions – but honored.

It’s not something that you think about or set as a goal, but does it hit you when you get that phone call?

Elzy: I was on vacation when I got the call. I was working out. I started screaming, calling my family, so we’re over-the-top excited.

Who are the people that go through your mind when you think about the people who helped you get here?

Elzy: My Mom is No. 1. The Elzy family. It takes a village to raise a child. I’ve had a whole village and a great support system, including Coach Mark Evans, one of the best coaches in Kentucky.

When you look at the names that you join in the Kentucky Athletic Hall of Fame, is it a little overwhelming?

Elzy: I told one of my coworkers, I said, ‘I can’t believe that I’m actually going into a Hall of Fame, the same one that Muhammad Ali is in.’ I’m a girl that couldn’t walk and chew bubblegum at the same time, so I’m thrilled. VT

s I settled in at my keyboard Monday morning to write this weekly visit with you via The Voice-Tribune, I did so with the goal of offering some thoughts on the sad passing of Muhammad Ali, Louisville’s gift to the world.

My eyes froze on the sixth image, which in my life and career comes as close to the Holy Grail as most anything I could imagine.

over the racetrack on that day in 1963, would likely have had a considerably more difficult time if he was to walk through the clubhouse and grandstand on a regular racing day.

There it was – the image that I and others had created in the mind’s Horse Sense eye but had never seen nor, quite frankly, had any longer hoped to see.

From 1963 – the year before he shook JOHN the world with an upset victory over ASHER champion Sonny Liston to earn his In countless speeches and other first heavyweight championship and gatherings in front of groups large and small during months before the public announcement that he my years at Churchill Downs, I have shared sto- would heretofore be known as Muhammad Ali – ries about the 142-year history of the home of the was Gunther’s image of a smiling Cassius Clay Kentucky Derby that, in almost every case, includ- running up the 1,234 1/2-foot Churchill Downs ed this favorite nugget: stretch and past the clubhouse.

The passage and signing of the Civil Rights Act would not occur until 1964, and there was work to be done in our nation and community in the months and years that followed the moment that Gunther captured.

The great Muhammad Ali – then Cassius Clay, and later to be known as Louisville Lip, the Greatest of All Time, boxing’s three-time heavyweight boxing champion and a humanitarian of international impact – toiled in conditioning work early in his career with the Twin Spires of Churchill Downs often as his backdrop. The man who would become the best-known athlete in world history did conditioning runs over the one-mile sandy loam surface over which every renewal of the Derby and Kentucky Oaks have been run since their respective debuts in 1875.

That sandy surface was good for building muscles in the legs, one of the future champion’s most dazzling weapons in the ring.

It was a great story; although, I – nor any of my predecessors in the communications and publicity offices at Churchill Downs – had ever seen physical evidence that it was true. The story was part of our history section in the old Kentucky Derby and Churchill Downs media guide, but there were, to our knowledge, no photos of the young legend gliding over his hometown track.

That is, until Monday, just minutes after I sat to gather my thoughts for this piece, a tweet came in from my friend Paul Rutherford (@horsemanlawyer to you Twitter admirers who’d like to give him a follow), himself a lover of Thoroughbred racing and the history – athletic or otherwise – of our city.

It contained a brief message, followed by a link.

“Just want to be sure you’d seen this,” the message read.

A click on the link opened a CNN story bearing the headline of “Previously unseen photos show young Muhammad Ali at home.” The story included 10 photos by photographer Curt Gunther, who the story said had chronicled most of Ali’s boxing career via the images captured by his Nikon F camera.

PHOTO COURTESY OF CHURCHILL DOWNS

Some years back, I had witnessed Ali publicly confirm that he had indeed trained over the track that had been the scene of so many stirring performances by four-legged superstars and their human partners. Karl Schmitt Jr., the executive director of the Louisville Sports Commission who was my predecessor at Churchill Downs (and the guy who hired me to work at the track nearly 20 years ago), told the story about those on-track training runs at a luncheon at which Ali was honored.

Schmitt, who had noted the absence of photographic evidence in his story, turned to The Champ to ask this simple question: “Did it happen?”

But from a purely personal viewpoint, this heretofore unseen image of Ali is magical.

It depicted a young man who would soon be the self-proclaimed, but then nearly universally-acclaimed, Greatest of All Time at the home of the Greatest Two Minutes in Sports. The moment was neither the first nor the last in which Ali – the Louisville native turned Citizen of the World – would visit his world-famous hometown racetrack.

But prior to Monday, my perception of that and similar moments had been the stuff of legend and imagination. Now, it is a real and tangible thing and frozen in time thanks to Gunther’s lens.

It is a personal dream come true to see that image, which likely would not have surfaced at this point if not for Ali’s passing. But as much as I love the image and the opportunity to finally have a glimpse of that moment, I’d gladly return it to storage to have The Greatest with us a little while longer. VT

“Yes,” replied the Louisville legend.

That was good enough for me and has been since that day.

But things changed Monday.

Because of the talented eye of Curt Gunther, I have now seen an image of one of those moments.

In Gunther’s photo, the young Ali is dressed in street clothes, and his footwear is not appropriate for training.

One could speculate that the champion-in-waiting and the photographer had discussed his work at Churchill Downs and then traveled to the track for a photo of an unscheduled training run.

As joyful as I was to finally see the image, it also was distressing because of the thought that Louisville’s greatest hometown icon, who ran so freely

The culminating moment came in the 200 meters. After placing first in two events where winning wasn’t the primary focus, she went into the 200 chasing victory. She finished with a time of 24.63 seconds.

“My goal was to just win it because this is my favorite race. In my mind, I said, ‘Let me go ahead and win.’ I have already won two, so let me win this last race so I can make my coach and mom proud.”

Townsend adds that her senior leadership was an essential part to her team capturing a state title. As a freshman, she sat under the wings of the senior class understanding she would one day fill their shoes.

“Once they left, they all told me that I have to step up,” she says. “I had to step up and be a leader because a lot of people are watching me. I know whatever I do, younger teammates would try to follow in those footsteps, so I had to make sure we were on track of taking care of business and, as a team, being close and confident.”

When asked what it meant to win state in her individual events, Townsend embraced her titles seeing them as a “hump that I got over, but I still have business to take care of in college.”

e realized our excursion to England with our friends Suzanne and Pat was more than half over as we were leaving Hidcote Gardens and headed to Woburn Abbey and Gardens.

Partyline CARLA SUE BROECKER

John Russell, 6th Duke of Bedford commissioned Humphrey Repton to create designs to enhance the Abbey’s gardens and park. Driving through the park you see native red deer and fallow deer plus seven other species

that came from Asia. The Milu, commonly known as Père David’s deer, can be seen here. Originally from China, the species was saved from extinction by the 11th Duke, who brought them back to Woburn. In 1985, the Marquess of Tavistock, later the 14th Duke, gave 22 deer to the People’s Republic of China to reintroduce this species to the former Imperial Hunting Park in Beijing. Their herds now number several thousand.

came finally home to beautiful Kentucky. Pat, Suzanne, Brad and I had a wonderful last trip by car, and the boys did a great job driving on the wrong side. But from now on we are leaving the driving to the captain of a ship! VT

At Bolsover Castle, begun during the reign of James I in 1615, we took a quick walkabout. We then headed south to Windsor Castle, home of the Queen, with a 1,000-year history and site of the recent spectacular equestrian celebration of her jubilee.

We toured the state apartments and adored Queen Mary’s doll house designed by the famous British architect, Sir Edwin Lutyens.

The State Apartments are used regularly by the Queen for formal events, as is St. George’s Chapel. It was begun in 1475 and finished 50 years later by Henry VII.

Then we headed to Oxford and visited the famous Ashmolean Museum of Art and Archaeology. It has everything from Andy Warhol to Mongolian coinage to Martin Bros. pottery.

It bothers me that some people out curse words or “filter” or embellish anything. think being accepted means I welcome these kinds They also try to approximate the same voice tone. of questions. – MYOB IN AUSTIN I am a professional interpreter and translator. First, I should note that translators do written work; interpreters speak aloud. Different skills are involved, which is why there are different terms.

I should also note that professional interpreters are bound by privacy codes much like doctors and nurses. We are not allowed to divulge any information we have learned from our interpretation jobs. Another thing to realize is that a professional interpreter (or translator) will be completely neutral, regardless of who hired him/her or with which party he/she enters the room.

If someone is using a non-professional interpreter, a person who just happens to know both languages but has not had the training to be an interpreter, he/she may not adhere to these privacy or conduct codes, and their interpretations may not be of the best quality. Just knowing two languages does not guarantee that someone is capable of doing accurate interpretations (the same goes for translations). – ONE WHO KNOWS IN KANSAS

DEAR MYOB: There is no end to the nosy and intrusive questions people with poor judgment will ask. However, there is a standard response that may resolve your problem if you say it with a smile. It’s, “If you’ll forgive me for not answering that question, I’ll forgive you for asking!”

He’s in the Army and has been diagnosed with depression and PTSD. At first, he was my knight in shining armor, but after I moved into his house, he become mentally and physically abusive.

He is now in a new relationship. He changed his phone number and hasn’t checked on me or our baby in weeks. I want him to have a relationship

How do I get over my feelings and convince him to be in our child’s life? Or are my feelings justified and I’m just being a protective mother? – PROTECTIVE MOTHER DEAR PROTECTIVE MOTHER: What a sad letter. It would be interesting to know how much of his abusive behavior was a result of his depression and PTSD. But if you think that a mentally and physically abusive man, who has changed his phone number and done his best to get out of touch with you, is a suitable father figure for a child, you are kidding yourself.

You will, however, have a chance to make him live up to his financial responsibilities to the baby if you discuss this with an individual who is in a position to help you – an attorney. Don’t wait; start the conversations now.

••• DEAR ABBY: When I visited my sister 15 years ago, my brother-in-law tried to rape me. He was drunk and my sister was out with her friends. I have not revealed this to my family or my sister, who is emotionally and financially dependent on him.

My niece is now 20 years old and in college. I feel I should tell her what her dad did to me and warn her to be careful. What do you think? – NEVER FORGETTING IN PENNSYLVANIA DEAR NEVER FORGETTING: Frankly, I think that if your brother-in-law was going to assault his daughter, it would have happened already, and you should have told your family what he tried to do to you at the time it occurred.

SPOTLIGHT

Jeffersonville Pride Festival

On June 25, 2016, Jeffersonville, Indiana, will see the first-ever Jeffersonville Pride Festival take place at Big Four Station. The event will kick off with a parade at noon before allowing guests to enjoy the booths, entertainment and other fun all taking place in a safe and positive environment. To get more information about the concept behind the big day, we caught up with Evan Stoner, the 18-year-old festival director who created the event.

What is the Jeffersonville Pride Festival?

Jeffersonville Pride Festival is Southern Indiana’s first ever LGBT+ pride parade and festival. Jeffersonville Pride’s mission is as follows: Jeffersonville Pride Festival promotes Southern Indiana and its surrounding communities as places where kindness and diversity thrive.

It seeks to inspire people to make a positive impact on our community by promoting advocacy and inclusion of lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and queer people and their allies. By coming together as one community comprised of many different kinds of people, we inspire hope for the future and for generations to come.

What can guests expect at the event?

On June 25, 2016, Southern Indiana and Jeffersonville will make history. Throughout this expe-

rience, I have had the true honor of meeting so many Jeffersonville residents who have expressed to me that they never thought they would see this day come. We’ll get the day kicked off at noon with a parade down the historic Spring Street in Jeffersonville, Indiana. Following the parade, Jeffersonville Pride Festival will take place until 10 p.m. at Big Four Station in Jeffersonville. Many Jeffersonville, Louisville and Indianapolis businesses, organizations and political groups will be hosting booths at the festival, including local food vendors. On the Jeffersonville Pride Festival Main Stage will be a full day of music and entertainment from local bands, artists and a performance by Cabaret La Cage of Pride Bar and Lounge in New Albany. Guests can expect a ton of fun at the family-friendly Jeffersonville Pride Parade and Festival!

What prompted you to create the festival?

Jeffersonville Pride Festival will be taking place a day before the anniversary of the Supreme Court ruling in favor of marriage equality in the United States. I believe Jeffersonville Pride is an example of just how fast our country is moving forward since that historic decision. However, the conception of Jeffersonville Pride came after an intense situation where discrimination was targeted at the LGBT+ community in Jeffersonville. I decided to speak up on the first and second occurrence of discrimination. At first, I was very upset – I felt lost and unclear about what I could do to really have a positive impact, not just argue on social media. The discrimination prompted me to take a hard look at a time growing up in Jeffersonville. I began thinking again about the discrimination and bullying I endured in middle school for talking in a way that, to some, “sounded gay.” I was called offensive and derogatory terms on countless occasions and even physically threatened.

Evan Stoner.

J U N E 9 , 2 0 1 6 • V O I C E -T R I B U N E . C O M

I am not alone in my experiences, though. I have many friends who have also been bullied and discriminated against in local Southern Indiana schools. Of course, the administration always reminded me about their “zero-tolerance policy” for bully-

50

ing and discrimination; however, my calls for help on behalf of school administrations did not work.

Recalling all of this and taking into consideration the social media discrimination, I came to the conclusion enough was enough. That’s when I decided a pride parade and festival was the best way to have a real impact in Jeffersonville. I felt it could shed light on LGBT+ discrimination taking place as well as provide a platform for LGBT+ residents in Jeffersonville to feel loved and welcomed in their community that they know and love. In addition, I believe pride parades and festivals are a great way to bring the entire community together for a truly fun event that everyone can enjoy.

How do you think this event will impact Jeffersonville?

I envision that one day, Jeffersonville will be a huge, thriving, innovative, award-winning, inclusive city. For Jeffersonville, the sky is the limit. I want all of Jeffersonville’s residents to have the opportunity to live, learn and grow in an environment free from discrimination, bullying and harassment. I believe that in a future Jeffersonville, not one single person will feel like they don’t belong or aren’t welcomed in the city. I believe wholeheartedly that Jeffersonville is better together as a unified city. Jeffersonville Pride is for everyone. Jeffersonville Pride began as an idea that has grown into a movement. However, LGBT+ discrimination is not the only problem facing Jeffersonville and Indiana. I think what this event will do is encourage and empower other people in our community to speak up and take action when they see something wrong in their city as well.

There are no limitations to our success as a city, state or country.

How do you hope the event grows in years to come?

Southern Indiana is home to some of the most hardworking, dedicated people I’ve ever met. I think pride in Southern Indiana is something that we will continue to build on throughout the years.

I want to continue finding ways to empower and engage the LGBT+ community in Southern Indiana. In the years to come, I want to reach out to more Southern Indiana communities to keep building a movement and a coalition of people who are seeking equality and fairness. As for June 2017, stay tuned! VT P H OTO B Y A N TO N I O PA N TOJ A

Cater Fest

SPOTLIGHT

On June 15, the Mellwood Arts & Entertainment Center will hold the first-ever Cater Fest, an event designed to showcase some of Louisville’s best catering companies to prospective clients. To get all the details on the event’s inaugural year, we caught up with Scooter Davidson of Mellwood.

This is the first year of Cater Fest, correct? Why did you decide to launch it?

Yes, this is the inaugural event, and it came about because we always brag about the diversity and quality of caterers that come and service our brides, corporate events and fundraisers here at Mellwood. We are unique in that we do not charge any caterer the typical 15-25 percent that other venues do, so this makes it easier and financially a win-win for the customer at our venue.

Lots of times, brides can’t make it to every wedding show and caterers do not participate in every wedding show, so we thought we would throw a totally free event so that brides and other event planners could get more of an idea of what’s out there.

What can attendees expect at the event?

Top caterers like the Bristol, Ladyfingers,

Naiman’s Catering, Kingsley and smaller catering companies will be here with an array of foods. You can definitely eat your whole dinner here as they are very generous and putting out nice platters of food.

Another great side of Cater Fest is that we are doing a giveaway. Everyone who attends can put their name in the ballot box, and at 7:30 p.m., the name will be drawn and that person will win a free rental of our Monet Event Room No. 2 – a $1,000 value. It has the capacity of 160 seated and is perfect for a small wedding, a rehearsal dinner or a fundraiser – really just about anything! The winner will then also choose a nonprofit charity or organization and we will donate that same room on another night so that that charity can have a fundraiser or exhibition at no rental cost.

Additionally, there will be people on-hand

51

to give us a tour of Mellwood, the three different event rooms and any of the artist studios. We have plenty of free parking as always, and there is absolutely no cost for reservations. We are holding the event in our large Van Gogh Event Room, which accommodates 600-700 people and showcases a totally refurbished bar.

Heather Renée, a singer-songwriter, will provide some light music. She has a beautiful voice and has won various awards at local singing competitions.

Do you hope this event becomes an annual occasion?

Yes, we’re actually having another one in February and then again next June to tie in with the bridal seasons! But the first one will certainly be an event you won’t want to miss. VT V O I C E -T R I B U N E . C O M • J U N E 9 , 2 0 1 6

Written by Kevin Sedelmeier

tarted in 2005 under then mayor Jerry Abramson, the Mayor’s Healthy Hometown Movement was designed as a long-term multi-phase program led by the Louisville Metro Health Department to promote healthier lifestyles, better eating habits and increased physical activity.

The movement began in part as a response to a 2004 Health Status Assessment Report that included distressing statistics claiming nearly 60 percent of Louisvillians were overweight with almost 29 percent labeled obese. The study also said 78 percent of residents were not eating enough fruits and vegetables and 35 percent engaged in no leisure-time physical activity.

May 31 was the deadline for local, small non-profit organizations to apply for a 2016 Healthy Hometown grant from the Mayor’s Hometown Movement. Grants have been awarded for the past 10 years with money coming from the city’s general fund. Grant money totals an estimated $30,000-$35,000 annually.

During the past decade, more than a half million dollars have been awarded in grants to over 100 community groups. According to Leanne French, administrator at Louisville Metro’s Department of Public Health and Wellness, for 2016, 20 agencies have submitted applications and a committee is already meeting to review them. Organizations awarded grants will be notified in July.

Under Mayor Greg Fisher, the movement and its types of grants have grown. “Last year, we expanded it beyond what had just been healthy

eating and active living to include a number of topics in Healthy Louisville 2020,” French says, referring to a local initiative that tracks hundreds of community health indicators and provides strategies for addressing health challenges. Topics included violence prevention, safe neighborhoods and tobacco use.

Providing grants, however, is just one facet of what the Mayor’s Healthy Hometown Movement does. According to French, directors of all metro government agencies including parks, housing, transportation and public schools are now asking what they can do in their policies to make Louisville a healthier place. For example, the expansion of bike lanes around town was initiated by Metro Public Works.

Dave Langdon, public information officer at Louisville Metro’s Department of Public Health and Wellness, says, “Every government decision considers the health aspect of its decision. So when you are repaving the streets, you look at the health aspects of that, and one of the health aspects of that is giving the opportunity if they want to use the streets for bikes.

So that’s a perfect example of the ‘health in all’ policies approach.”

This increased government and public awareness is evident in events like the Hike, Bike & Paddle, whose participation has steadily increased over the years. “We’ve gone from 1,500 people to well over 10,000,” Langdon says. The event is now held each year on Memorial Day and Labor Day – the most recent having just been held on May 30.

the Movement has widened in regard to public health concerns is in the area of smoking. “Such a big issue for Kentucky and specifically in Louisville is smoking rates and exposure to secondhand smoke,” French says. “Metro Parks has taken a big step forward in terms of outdoor air and is making all of their children’s play areas and spraygrounds smoke-free.”

Although, the Mayor’s Healthy Hometown Movement might have started as a means of addressing obesity and inactive lifestyles, it has become much more. Langdon says it has now expanded to make policies that will “impact everybody in Louisville to create equal opportunity for healthier choices and healthier living period.”

But in expanding, city leaders are not looking past anyone. French asserts, “We really want to make sure these get into neighborhoods and smaller areas.” Now entering its second decade, the Mayor’s Healthy Hometown Movement continues to reach more and more people in our community. VT

The Movement was designed to change the culture in Louisville to one in which physical activity and healthy eating are the norms, but despite progress and data that shows the number of obese adults and those with hypertension is dropping in our community, over the past couple of years, Louisville has seen some discouraging rankings about its fitness level in national magazines and on websites.

But is there any legitimacy to these findings? “One of the things we said in 2005 when this Mayor’s Hometown Movement started is that we didn’t get in this position overnight, and we’re talking about cultural change,” Langdon says. “The change is going to be gradual, but I think we are seeing some changes.”

Participants at this year’s Hike, Bike & Paddle.

er, Bohannon suggests being both open-minded and patient.

“I would say nine times out of 10 when someone comes in to our store and works with our juice guides, they can find something that they like,” she says. “If you don’t usually eat a lot of vegetables, you can start out with one of our juices that has a little bit of fruit and then make the transition to juice with no fruit.”

The Weekly Juicery also offers smoothies for those who may not be ready to take the plunge into drinking straight green juice. Though Bohannon advises that, for most beginners, the transition is a short one. Even people who are heavily reliant on sodas or unhealthy foods find themselves quickly acclimating and enjoying the taste of green juice.

For making juice at home, Bohannon recommends using dark leafy greens as well as lighter ingredients such as cucumbers or green apples.

More than anything, she encourages people to be thoughtful about using organic produce since non-organics often have traces of chemicals and synthetic pesticides that cannot be washed away.

has you covered there as well. They offer three types of cleanses designed for beginners and experienced cleansers alike. The best part? This week, all of their juice cleanses are 20 percent off. Until Sunday, June 12, you can purchase their one-day cleanse, which includes four coldpressed juices, for only $52 (usually $65) or their three-day cleanse – their best seller – for $144 (usually $180).

Why is doing a juice cleanse such a good idea, you ask?

“The power of the juice cleanse is mostly about giving our bodies an extended period of digestive rest,” Bohannon reveals. “When you drink the juice, your digestive system is getting a sort of vacation. It doesn’t have to break down all of that soluble fiber, and a healing and restoration occurs. Even a one-day cleanse is an excellent way to give your body a vacation from this digestive overload that we experience in the standard American diet.”

This movement began in 1993, and when Louisville merged with Jefferson County in 2003, Mayor Jerry Abramson furthered

project for Louisville, and it will afford the city an unprecedented integrated transportation system that will be the envy of cities across the nation.

According to Louisville Metro Parks and Recreation Senior Planner Lisa Hite, the Loop celebrates Louisville’s history and natural world through public art, complementing special places in the city: “The intent of the Loop is to leverage the impact of the original Olmsted Park System and to help shape the future experience of our community.”

The Loop encompasses many different projects and a number of partners who are building various parts of it. Metro Parks and Recreation is the lead agency for planning, design and building most of the Loop, and the current state of affairs regarding the overall projects seems to indicate full steam ahead.

As of this article, six and a half miles are currently being designed through Jefferson Memorial Forest. About half a mile of construction will begin this year along Shelbyville Road from Middletown to The Parklands, with another three

miles to follow in the next year or two. Three and a half miles of Campground Road will be adding a shared-use path to the already existing bike lanes, and serious planning sessions are currently underway for projects that will eventually connect the Big Four Bridge to Prospect as well as a connection for Beargrass Creek Trail to the rest of the Loop.

In addition, Metro Parks is partnering with several outside agencies for other aspects of the initiative, such as the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers to reconstruct a section of existing paths along the Ohio River near Portland Wharf and Shawnee Parks. 21st Century Parks will also open the last of their 18 miles of their Parklands of Floyds Fork projects this summer, and Metro Public Works is incorporating some segments of the Loop into road projects such as a widening of River Road from Beargrass Creek to Zorn and Cooper Chapel Road from Beulah Church Road to Bardstown Road.

If you are looking for suggestions as to where to access the Loop currently and what to expect, Hite offers some insight: “I advise that you experience the Loop on a bike to cover more ground.

For a more urban experience, start at the Big Four Bridge, go west and follow the signs through Waterfront Park.” Alternatively, Hite offers some recommendations for a more rural ambiance as well: “Start at Beckley Creek Park off Shelbyville Road and ride south for as long as you want up to about 18 or 19 miles. There are lovely views of woodland, farm fields, wetlands and numerous crossings of Floyds Fork.”

The scale of this project is gargantuan. So much so that it seems that it may never be completed.

The proposed date of 2036 is a long way away, but the fact of the matter is that slowly but surely, Louisville will have a unique parks system unlike any other. Once completed, most of Louisville will be within one mile of some portion of the loop, giving citizens a singular connectivity not only with nature but with each other.

“I traveled a lot, looking at gardens around the country and in France and Italy,” recalls Korfhage. “Everywhere I went, I tried to learn what the style of gardening was there.

For example, when I went to Dallas, I asked, ‘What is the style? What are they doing here that they are not doing in Louisville?’”

In essence, each region uses different plant materials. Each city has a different look. For instance, New England has more hydrangeas, and due to his trip to the gardens of Versailles in France, Korfhage understands how to utilize that sense of color and scale when appropriate.

More than just flights of fancy, these trips arm Korfhage with a vast array of ideas and concepts to apply to his projects. “When people build a house with a particular style, I know what it’s supposed to look like. When I look at a house, I know about 10 different looks that will work for it,” he says.

Not only that, but he values the end result for his client, which makes him an incredible asset to the Louisville landscaping community as well as a treasured source of knowledge and advice for the rest of us: “I like to create an environment that is pleasing to be in but also pleasing to look at, and when I do, I feel fulfilled.

in its vague premise of people having difficulty following rules or meeting expectations. But at the halfway point, the movie starts over in a completely different setting where people are seeking liberation from society, yet they ironically have their own harsh dogmatic structure.

After this development, the movie became so unbearably miserable and unfunny for me that I saw almost no merit to the early parts that made me chuckle or the ambition of its makers who were clearly so dedicated to such an oddball venture. I didn’t care if I was missing something or misinterpreting its subtext; I thought “The Lobster” was a cinematic suicide note with a couple of funny jokes.

I can’t claim that seeing the sequel to 2014’s disappointing reboot of one of my favorite things from childhood – which really wasn’t that good in the first place – had any guarantee in lifting my spirits. However, with the promise of a nostalgia high and characters such as Bebop, Rocksteady and Krang all due to make their first cinematic appearances, I couldn’t deny whatever remains of a Turtles fan in me that dumb gratification.

Once again, the special effects and color aesthetics are somewhat exciting, but the story is overstuffed with bad exposition that leads from one major set piece to the next. And the epic-sounding orchestral score is totally wrong for the material.

The movie is also over two hours of stupid loudness that leads to the now-standard trope of a portal opening up in the sky above a major city and a bunch of jargon about how to stop it.

hotography is a solitary art form. Despite advancements in technology, a photographer very rarely arrives at a scene, points, clicks and is satisfied. A photograph that is truly a work of art is a product of hours and hours of preparation, the utilization of finely honed skills and, most importantly, patience. It isn’t at all what the average person imagines.

to take a drive. My wife hadn’t been here in decades, and I hadn’t been here ever,” reminisces Saeed. “We’re riding down Main Street, and we’re like, ‘Hey, this is a great town!’ All these towers and buildings and Museum Row. Then we hit Ninth Street.

It’s like ‘The Wizard of Oz’ in reverse.

We went from this colorful city to just black and white.”

Saeed recalls that it was this moment that awakened his latent @BenGierhart_BEP photographer’s instincts, and since that day, he has learned about the history of the area and started taking photographs of the abandoned buildings in Portland in an effort to get viewers of his photographs to “I call myself a fine art photographer,” says appreciate the architecture that many in LouisZed Saeed, certainly not the average person and ville take for granted. certainly not an average photographer. “I did a Working in Louisville, however, proved to have lot of fashion photography for a very long time in its own set of challenges: “Being a photographer, Los Angeles. Then I moved to Louisville with my you’re very sensitive to light. You notice the effects wife almost two years ago.” of the weather, and coming from Southern CaliOriginally from Pakistan, Saeed came to the fornia, it’s a huge change. In Los Angeles, you’re U.S. in 1983 to go to college at Hampshire Col- used to this very particular color of light and lege in Amherst, Massachusetts: “In my first the bright sunlight. The first thing you notice in semester, I took a film and photography course, Louisville is that the light is hazy. It’s very soft.” and I never looked back. That was it. I briefly Drawing on his wealth of experience as well as worked in New York, but most of my work was the work and techniques of other photographers in L.A. because I wanted to work in movies.” In fact, Saeed has a decades-long career working in the world of film and television.

Life

A Whole New Light whom he admires, Saeed was able to rise above these challenges and develop his own spin on a technique created by world-famous photographer and Yale professor Gregory Crewdson.

“I thought I could use a similar approach to light these buildings,” says Saeed. “The process I use is called light painting. It’s a very counterintuitive process. Even photographers sometimes have trouble wrapping their heads around it.” The one inescapable rule of this technique is that it has to be dark, so you’re going at night: “You set up your camera. You do these long exposures. You open the shutter of the camera, and while the shutter is open, you use flashlights or strobes with gels on them and fire them on the streets or in the buildings. You can take a tiny fluorescent tube and wrap gels on it and paint the walls up down like a painter paints the wall.”

Saeed explains the process simply and claims that the tools necessary are not fancy or expensive. The work created, however, speaks for itself: “I want the people of Louisville to see how beautiful these buildings truly are. Sometimes, the weirdest parts of a city are what make it so special.” See his gallery for yourself, and you just might see Louisville in a whole new light. VT The “Colors of the Night: Light Painting in Portland” exhibit opened on June 3 and runs through June 29 at the Tim Faulkner Gallery, 1512 Portland Ave., Louisville, KY 40203.

Essentially a post-production expert, Saeed’s job, in many ways, was the most difficult in the filmmaking process as it incorporates editing, color correction and the laborious addition of effects and sound. Post-production requires a keen eye for detail and accuracy that many do not possess, but Saeed’s work was so notable that it earned him a spot on the team of renowned film editor Walter Murch on his Academy Award-winning film “Cold Mountain” as well as a nine-season stint on the hit comedy “Scrubs.”

Upon moving to Louisville with his wife, a Kentucky native, Saeed still manged to find work in town: “I worked on that 360-degree surround sound Derby movie at the Kentucky Derby Museum with Donna Lawrence Productions [“The Greatest Race”]. They’re in town.

They worked on that movie for 20 years, and this was their year to update it.” Despite the relative ease with which Saeed was able to return to what he knows best, there is a story Saeed will never forget that rekindled his love for the progenitor of film: photography.

Decades ago, James won Rose’s hand with an unforgettable declaration: “You have too much beauty for this lake to hold. Too much beauty for this night. Too many stars you’re outshining.” Now 75-years-old and in self-imposed confinement since her husband’s death, Rose contemplates the importance of a life’s words when all that remains is the quietness of grief. As her daughter, Emma, and the enigmatic Pastor Hidge attempt to coax Rose from her room, the trio navigate the walls that hide their hearts and embrace memories that will only fade with time. Bittersweet, poignant and touchingly funny, “Too Much, Too Much, Too Many” sinks the audience into a world of love too great for words. Tickets are $22.
