It is hard to believe that school is starting back up. Summer sure does fly by when you are having fun in the sun! It is such a treat to have my girls home more often, but I am looking forward to getting back into a routine. As I’ve said before, I have instilled the importance of education into my children from a very young age. Each year of schooling gets more challenging for them, but those are the skills that will help them in life: problem solving, learning and overcoming challenges.

Ann Wells is another woman who has instilled the importance of education in children, albeit on a much larger scale. This inspiring woman was part of starting the School Choice Scholarships 17 years ago and is still on the board. Since this organization was created, it has given more than 5,000 children over $7 million dollars in scholarship. Ann Wells is fueled by her passion of spreading education to all children in Louisville, and we are lucky to have her as a community leader.

There is simply a myriad of afterschool activities for your kids this fall. Our staff here at The Voice-Tribune put together a dazzling list that ranges from ballet to martial arts. I always encourage my daughters to try out different sports and activities to see what they like and what fits them best. It’s great for kids to get involved in activities outside of school to make new friends and develop new skill-sets and passions. Take a look at the list and see how your kids can get involved.

And what better way to top off a school day then having pizza for dinner? Pizza is such a quick and easy meal. This week we taste tested 18 of Louisville’s best pizzas. You will find that pizza has come a long way since the days of “just cheese.” Take a look at all the creative and mouthwatering pizzas we found around town in this week’s feature story.

It was another action-packed week in sports as our writer Randy Whetstone caught up with high school sisters Iliyah and India Green about their basketball passions. Meanwhile, Kent Taylor got the scoop on stand-out UofL swimmer Kelsi Worrell, who just returned from the Pan-American Games with two gold medals and one silver. We find out the latest news from Louisville FC as they continue picking up new fans, and, of course, we also have the news from American Pharoah, courtesy of our resident turf expert John Asher.

Not only were the sports action-packed this week but so were our society pages. We attended the 100 Wise Women event where First Lady Jane Beshear spoke about her motto “personal responsibility.” It’s such a joy to be surrounded by inspiring women and see the figures in the community support each other. As my assistant, Hollis, would say “There is nothing like girl power.”

The exemplary Meredith Conroy has just opened Bend and Zen, the newest hot yoga studio in town. With the hectic life I live, there is nothing better than going to a hot yoga class to get grounded in both mind and body. This studio is particularly wonderful in that it offers different classes for all the yogis out there.

After a good workout I don’t feel as guilty to have a couple appetizers. And the perfect setting for cocktails and apps is by the pool. My dear friends Inna and Mike Marnhout threw a fabulous party this past Saturday night. There were endless laughs and stories shared with close friends alongside the Marnhout’s beautiful pool.

Enjoy these last few days of summer.

THE

LOUISVILLE

PIZZA GUIDE

BY LYNN HAMILTON AND CHRIS HUMPHREYS

H

erein we offer the most comprehensive possible roundup of Louisville’s pizzas. “Comprehensive” means they returned our call. We asked the city’s pizza chefs to trot out their best pizza and let us sample and photograph it to bring you the most in-depth local pizza guide.

In the process of writing and shooting this story, we learned that there is more to pizza than New York style and deep dish. Local pizza chefs taught us the meaning of “Louisville style” pizza, which features the thin crust of a New York pizza but with more plentiful toppings. What could be better? We also learned that pizzas don’t have to be round and that a “big green egg” is no egg, but a ceramic pizza oven. Read and enjoy!

8UP Elevated Drinkery & Kitchen Chef: Jacob Fernando Coronado Pizza: The South Side

Best pizza with a view

Style: Sicilian Main ingredients: Oven-dried tomato, Italian sausage, pepperoni, pickled fennel.

What makes it different: “Really, it’s the dough. We created it from nothing.”

Local ingredients: Kentucky Proud Broadbent Ham; 90 percent of the produce is from local farmer’s markets.

Taste: Crust is solid, starchy and slightly smoky; tangy sauce weighs in against the subtle use of fennel.

Bearno’s Chef: George Timmering Pizza: Mama Bearno’s Style: Louisville Main ingredients: Sausage, pepperoni, mushrooms, onions, green peppers, black olives, mozzarella.

Boombozz Taphouse General Manager: Bryan Beach Pizza: Carnitas Libre

Best Fusion Pizza

Style: Fusion of American and Spanish/Mexican Main ingredients: Ranchero sauce, roasted carnitas pork, carmelized onions and peppers, roma tomatoes, cilantro, lime wedge, topped with mozzarella and asiago cheeses. Served with creamy garlic sauce and green chili jam.

What makes it different: Founding Chef Tony Boombozz’s dedication to recipes. “He is relentless in trying different things until he finds a winner.”

Pizza philosophy: “We run a scratch kitchen.” Because of the proprietary recipes, “you can’t make it better yourself.”

Taste: Try the green chili jam topping for a taste that is cheesy, spicy and sweet all at the same time.

Where else the manager goes for pizza: He doesn’t really eat out, but when he’s home with the kids, they get Domino’s.

Cliftons Pizza Company Best Pizza With Live Music

Chef/Owner/Operator: Mark Langley Pizza: Barbecue Chicken Pizza Style: Louisville Main ingredients: Chicken, cheddar, BBQ sauce.

What makes it different: Smoked chicken and peppadew peppers, imported from Africa, which are sweet and contrast nicely with the Sweet Baby Ray’s BBQ sauce.

Pizza philosophy: “I believe in the ‘Wow!’ factor. I want people to look at it and say ‘Wow,’” says Langley. He believes in big portions and good value for the customer’s money.

Taste: The peppadew peppers really are surprisingly sweet and blend well with the barbecue sauce.

Coals Artisan Pizza Owner: Madeline Peters Pizza: The Middletown

Most Authentically Italian

Style: Neo-Neopolitan Main ingredients: Margarita pepperoni, Italian sausage, mozzarella, red sauce, oregano, Romano cheese, mushrooms.

What makes it different: It hearkens back to the days when coal was the only cooking fuel available. Coals has recreated that taste with a coal oven, but the result is a hybrid of Italian and American cuisines. A higher-protein flour gives the crust its chewiness, and the dough is fermented so that it stays light and airy when baking.

Pizza philosophy: “Passion.”

Taste: Crust is exactly the right degree of chewy.

Very faint char blends well with the flavor of sausage.

Where else the owner goes for pizza: Keste in Manhattan and Pizzeria Bianco in Phoenix.

Seating: Dining room, bar, outdoor patio and upstairs private party room.

Hours: Sunday: Noon – 9 p.m.; Monday – Thursday: 11:30 a.m. – 9:30 p.m.; Friday and Saturday: 11:30 a.m. – 10:30 p.m.

Danny Mac’s Pizza Best Adaptation of a Louisville Tr adition

Chef/Owner/Operator: Danny Mac Pizza: Hot Brown Pizza Style: Danny Mac style Main ingredients: Kentucky ham, turkey, tomatoes, bacon, homemade mornay sauce, extra cheese.

What makes it different: The square shape makes use of the delivery box. Mac says, “I never follow the rules. I use really good ingredients.

Never skimpy.”

Pizza philosophy: “If you make something really good, people will pay a couple more dollars for it, and maybe people will tell each other.”

Taste: Creamy, buttery, salty and very hearty.

Where else the chef goes for pizza: “I never cheat.”

Seating: Two dining rooms inside the American Veterans Post. The bar is run by the American Veterans. You must ring the doorbell to be admitted.

Hours: Sunday: 1 – 10 p.m.; Monday – Thursday: 4 – 10 p.m.; Friday and Saturday: 11 a.m. – 11 p.m.

What makes it different: Dough and sauce made fresh daily. Maureen Steiden Miller created DiOrio’s balsamic vinaigrette. The 30-inch gibbon pizza is one of the largest pizzas in the state.

Pizza philosophy: “Our executive chef, Tony DiOrio, spends hours and hours every week working at maintaining the highest quality pizza from the highest quality sourced products on the market.”

Taste: Pineapple lends sweetness to a pizza that’s predominantly “hot” from jalapeños and spices; fluffy crust.

Best Use of Fruit on a Pizza

Best Housemade Sausage

Style: Louisville Main ingredients: Italian sausage, pepperoni, ham, mushrooms, onions, green peppers, banana peppers, black and green olives.

Local ingredients: They buy ground beef and beer cheese at the Highland Fish Market.

What makes it different: Everything is homemade daily; sausage is ground in-house; pizzas layer toppings with cheese.

Pizza philosophy: “We always want to make the best.”

Taste: Sweet sauce and spicy sausage.

Where else the chef goes for pizza: Wick’s in Goose Creek Seating (Highlands location): Big dining room, big bar and eleven tables outside.

Loui Loui’s Best Use of Chicken

Owner: Michael J. Spurlock Pizza: Buffalo Chicken Ranch Style: Detroit

Main ingredients: Fried chicken, housemade spicy buffalo sauce, bacon, ranch dressing.

What makes it different: Faithful to Detroit style of pizza, which was originally baked in assembly parts pans. To replicate that taste, Loui Loui’s uses blue-steel square pans that impart a char and yield a crispy crust. Proprietary cheese blend is imported from Detroit.

Pizza philosophy: “It needs to be fresh and artisan style or there’s no hope for it.”

Taste: Buffalo sauce is so tangy, you don’t miss the tomato sauce.

Old Louisville Pizza Company Co-Owner: Daniel Borsch Pizza: The Pile Driver

Meatiest Pizza

Style: Pan pizza Main ingredients: Ham, salami, pepperoni, bacon, sausage.

What makes it different: “We make our dough from scratch. We make our sauce from scratch. We use premium ingredients. I don’t think there’s a lot of places in Louisville that do a pan pizza. Kind of the classic, old style has kind of fallen out of favor but is really a great go-to pizza on a regular basis.”

Pizza philosophy: “Make the best pizza you can. Serve it with fresh made sauces. The quality speaks for itself.”

Taste: A fluffy buttery crust and very, very meaty.

Where else the co-owner goes for pizza: Café Lou Lou Seating: Dining room with a few seats on the sidewalk outside.

Hours: Monday - Friday: 11 a.m. – 9 p.m.; Saturday and Sunday: 4 – 9 p.m.

Papalinos Manager: Maggie Patterson Pizza: Summer pizza

Best Presentation

Style: New York Main ingredients: Olive oil, roasted garlic, fresh spinach, heirloom tomatoes, goat cheese, balsamic reduction drizzle.

Local ingredients: Produce and pork from Creation Gardens.

What makes it different: Fresh ingredients: they cure their own pork bellies, and one employee is devoted to nothing but preparation every day.

Pizza philosophy: “It has to be thin with a little bit of crunch,” says pizza chef, Justin. Patterson adds that New York pizza is really tricky because the crust is so thin, so the ratio of dough to cheese to sauce has to be really exact.

Taste: The balsamic finish poses a sweet and tangy counterpoint to the savor of the goat cheese.

Where else the chef goes for pizza: “I can’t [go anywhere else]. it just doesn’t feel right.”

Seating: Big dining room with tables and booths, a full bar and patio.

Hours: Sunday - Thursday: noon – 9 p.m.; Friday and Saturday, noon – 10 p.m.

Local ingredients: “Anything we can get our hands on” i.e. tomatoes, peaches, garlic, corn.

What makes it different: A thinner crust, says Chef Ben. “It’s filling, but doesn’t make you feel all doughy inside.”

Taste: Everything you expect in a three-meat pizza with some curveball spices.

Where else the chef goes for pizza: Pizza Perfect in Nashville.

Most Artisanal

Pizza: Roasted Cauliflower Style: Neapolitan and artisanal Main ingredients: Ricotta base, cheddar, mozzarella, provolone blend, roasted cauliflower, chopped basil, bourbon apple cider reduction, fresh-squeezed lemon.

What makes it different: “As far as I know, we’re the only restaurant in the city cooking all of our flatbread pizzas on the big green egg. We’re very happy with the amount of heat we get on the pizza stone, the way the heat holds and the flavor that you get from that hardwood charcoal.” Volare has partnered with Big Green Egg and Browsboro Hardware.

Pizza philosophy: “We want to use the best, freshest ingredients.

We want to be proud of everything we put out and everything we serve.”

Taste: Smooth and creamy with a nice bit of texture thanks to the cauliflower and hint of acidity from the bourbon apple cider and freshly squeezed lemon.

Best Use of Fresh Spinach

Pizza: Summer version of the Garden Za’s Style: Traditional Main ingredients: Fresh-made dough, tomato sauce, fresh spinach, tomato cubes, garlic, asiago cheese.

Pizza philosophy: “I didn’t set this up to be the fastest.

I didn’t set it up to be the cheapest. I want it to be the best.”

Taste: The thin crisp crust is an excellent platform to showcase fresh vegetables – it’s relatively light for pizza.

Where else the owner goes for pizza: Rich O’s Public House Seating: Midsize dining room and bar, four tables outside and a back room for parties.

LEAD2FEED STUDENT LEADERSHIP KICK-OFF 29 teachers from 15 states are dedicating their summer vacation to combating hunger in Louisville as they kick off year four of the nation’s largest and fastest growing student leadership program, Lead2Feed.

In keeping with the program’s core mission, the group of educators is working with Dare to Care, one of Kentucky’s largest food banks, to prepare and serve meals to the one in five children in the Louisville community that is food insecure.

Through the Lead2Feed program, students learn and develop key leadership skills to take action for solving hunger in their community.

Since its inception in 2012, nearly a million students in 3,500 schools and clubs participated across all 50 states donating more than 22,000 volunteer hours and one million meals to hungry families.

Each year, student teams compete in the Lead2Feed Challenge where they partner with local nonprofits to create and act on ideas to help reduce hunger in their local communities. This year, three local Jefferson County schools in Louisville were recognized: Doss High School received a $25,000 grant for their schools’ hunger relief nonprofit of

RE/MAX of Kentucky recently released its latest Market Trend Report for Louisville. The data is pulled from the local Louisville MLS and reflects all housing activity. A key finding was that, in July, home sales were up 25 percent over the last month and 25 percent over the last year. Median sales prices were up eight percent, and the number of days on the market for an average house decreased by ten percent. RE/ MAX attributes the increase in home sales to an improving job market and an increase in consumer confidence. More first-time buyers are entering the market as well.

MEMORIAM

David Roth General Director of Kentucky Opera

Kentucky Opera is deeply saddened to announce the sudden passing of General Director David Roth. Mr. Roth was returning from a business trip in Des Moines, Iowa and from visiting his family in Wisconsin. He was found in his car, which had run off the road. The accident happened around 9:00 p.m. on Sunday, July 19 just outside of Champaign, Illinois. Roth suffered an apparent heart attack while driving, which caused his car to drive into a ditch and hit a tree head on. The cause of death has been attributed to his heart incident.

“David was a positive and powerful presence in the lives of many of us. He will be deeply missed. We ask that you extend your heartfelt condolences to his family and friends who loved him dearly,” said Christy Kramer, past president of Kentucky Opera.

Mr. Roth had been the general director of Kentucky Opera since 2006. He moved to Louisville from Texas where he was the finance director of Fort Worth Opera. Mr. Roth held a double major from University of Wisconsin in business administration and vocal performance. Mr. Roth was a director’s assistant for Colin Graham, Francesca Zambello and John Copley as well as a freelance stage director for numerous opera companies including Minnesota Opera, Baltimore Opera and Opera Theatre of Saint Louis. Mr. Roth held the essential balance of artistic sophistication and financial acumen required to lead Kentucky Opera.

His death brings unspeakable sorrow to the Kentucky Opera organization. Kentucky Opera has established the David D. Roth Memorial Fund. If you would like to contribute in memory of the General Director, please send your donation to Kentucky Opera, 323 W. BroadCOURTESY PHOTOS

way, Louisville, KY. Notate your check for the David D. Roth Memorial Fund. You may also donate online at kyopera.org or by calling 502.584.4500. David’s family is making plans for a memorial and asks for privacy during this difficult time.

Annette Skaggs, a friend and colleague of David Roth, wrote the following piece, which originally appeared on arts-louisville.com on July 20, 2015.

While visiting the Kentucky Opera offices one afternoon in 2006 to talk with the Kentucky Opera Guild liaison about an upcoming fundraiser, I was introduced to the new General Manager, David Roth, who had been hired after Deborah Sandler had retired. Having worked with Deborah for a number of years, off and on stage, I was interested in seeing what direction David would be taking the company. In that first meeting, with David’s gentle and fetching smile and firm handshake, I could tell he was up for the challenge of “running the show.”

express themselves. He brought innovative ideas to the community, showing that opera is not a stuffy, upper-class form of entertainment – quite the opposite: Opera is for everyone. Through careful programming and staffing, David and his Kentucky Opera board were able to bring the company into the black. In a time where the arts flutter back and forth with uncertain funding, that is a huge accomplishment.

As important as opera was to David, he was also heavily involved in other art forms as well, including visual arts. David and his partner, Bryce Hudson, a talented and world-renowned artist in his own right, have quite a collection of artwork in their beautiful Highlands home.

David would also volunteer his time and talents to outreach programs and initiatives that increased the community’s awareness of the arts in Louisville, not just the opera.

One afternoon he asked if we could have coffee. I happily obliged and grew even fonder of him, learning about his upbringing (his early ambition to be a farmer), his financial background (he held a degree in finance) and his passion for restaurants and fine wines. We laughed and shared that afternoon, hugs were given, and as he departed, he said, “I’ll see you on stage, Operadarling.”

In all the years of knowing David, one memory sticks out the most in my mind. In 2009, the Louisville Orchestra, in tandem with the Kentucky Opera and others in the community, performed a concert production of “Iolanta,” and I was in the chorus. In rehearsal one night, much to my surprise, we were assigned sectionals so that I found myself sitting behind David. I was doing my best to not miss a single note, rest or dynamic. At the end of the night, as we were about to leave, David gave me a hug and said, “You sounded particularly lovely tonight – great job, Operadarling.”

I call myself fortunate that I was able to get to know David on a personal and professional level. Working with him in the theatre, you could see how enthralled he was with every production, putting his artistic thought into it while allowing for producers and directors to fully

So, my dear friend and colleague, Louisville and everyone who has known you is going to miss your wide smile and endearing laugh and also the impact that you’ve made in and around the nation’s arts community. May you rest well in the Great Halls of Valhalla.

The Champ Returns to The Starting Gate

T

he explosion of joy that followed American Pharoah’s emphatic triumph in the Belmont Stakes Horse Sense and put a big flashy ribbon on America’s JOHN first Triple Crown in ASHER 37 years still seems very close in our collective rear-view mirror. Despite that, the final half of the champ’s racing season – and the stretch run of a fabulous career – is set to begin on Sunday with a run in the $1 million William Hill Haskell Invitational at New Jersey’s Monmouth Park.

Ahmed Zayat’s homebred son of Pioneerof the Nile tuned up for Sunday’s run with a solid half-mile work on Tuesday at Southern California’s Del Mar in which he cruised easily through a half-mile in :48.80 under jockey Martin Garcia.

The move was not one of the Kentucky Derby winner’s routinely spectacular moves that have been a signature of his unforgettable spring, but the ease of his final Haskell tune-up was part of Hall of Fame trainer Bob Baffert’s design.

The great trainer Horatio Luro, who saddled Northern Dancer to win the 1964 Kentucky Derby, had words of caution in the handling of a good horse: “Don’t squeeze the lemon dry.”

Baffert will barely discuss what the next target for his Triple Crown winner could be. He’s insisting that he’s taking it one race at a time with the American Pharoah, and that the horse will be retired if he shows any sign of a significant backward step.

The colt was scheduled to embark on his eastward journey on Wednesday, and will be joined at Monmouth by regular jockey Victor Espinoza.

American Pharoah will be heavily favored to defeat a small field of five or so rivals in the Haskell. If he does, he’ll raise an already solid winning percentage for Triple Crown winners in their first race following the Triple Crown. Of the 11 previous Triple Crown winners, seven of 10 won their first races following their respective sweeps of spring classics.

Affirmed (1978), Secretariat (1973), Citation (1948), Assault (1946), Whirlaway (1941), War Admiral (1937) and Gallant Fox (1930) all won the race that followed the Triple Crown. War J U LY 3 0 , 2 0 1 5 • W W W . V O I C E -T R I B U N E . C O M

Admiral could deserve an asterisk, given that his next outing was an allowance race at Maryland’s Laurel in 1938 – 143 days after his Belmont Stakes triumph.

The best-known defeat following a Triple Crown was the fourthplace run by previously unbeaten Seattle Slew (1978), who finished a dull fourth in an ill-advised run in the Swaps at Hollywood Park just 22 days after the Belmont.

The race ended the partnership of Slew and trainer Billy Turner, who strongly opposed the colt’s quick return after the Triple Crown.

Kelsi Worrell, interviewed here, will be a senior swimmer for the University of Louisville. She won two gold medals and a silver at the Pan American Games in Toronto, Canada. She won an individual gold in the 100-meter butterfly, shattering the Pan Am record with a time of 54.03 in the prelims. She won silver in the 400-meter freestyle relay. Worrell swam the butterfly leg for the U.S. in the 400-meter medley relay team, winning her second gold. On that relay, she teamed up with 12-time Olympic medalist Natalie Coughlin, Kete Meile, and Allison Schmitt. She’ll swim for a spot on the 2016 U.S. Olympic Team at the U.S. Olympic Swim Team Trials from June 26 to July 3, 2016, in Omaha, Nebraska.

You were just happy to be swimming, and you win two gold medals. Did that exceed even your greatest expectations?

Just a year ago I found out that I got to be on my first national team.

To be able to go with some of my idols growing up, and to be able to be on a relay with some of them, it’s like a dream come true. My family was there to watch and that made it even more special.

Taylor’s 10 KENT TAYLOR WAVE3 Sports

How much easier was it having UofL head coach Arthur Albiero there with you?

It was so nice, I kind of felt a little bit spoiled. He already had that existing relationship, so he knew what my stroke was like and how I practiced. Never really had to communicate with a coach back home, so it just made it easy and really special to have him there too.

What does it mean to you to put on the Red, White and Blue?

To hear the National Anthem being played when I was on the podium. It was so surreal, to be up there, not just representing myself, but the country. It made it seem so much bigger.

How has the perception of UofL swimming changed in the last few years?

It’s really cool because we had four people there and all four of us did really well. Joao De Lucca with three Golds, and being able to watch him in his race on the podium. I got accused by the U.S. guys in his heat, of cheering against them. Of course I didn’t, but it was really special to see my teammate up there, knowing how hard he works.

On a national scale, do you have the sense that you guys are putting UofL swimming on the map?

P H OTO C O U R T E S Y O F U O F L S P O R T S I N F O R M AT I O N

Joao told me the other day that if we were a country, we would have been fourth in swimming medals, or something like that. We made a statement. Just excited to get UofL’s name out and hopefully get some more swimmers here and get more of us on the national level. We also had a couple girls at the World University Games, and they did fantastic too. We also have five or six guys going to World’s, that’s coming up in Russia. We’re getting better and better.

What’s next for you, for the rest of the summer and heading into the season?

I took about a day off, that was basically traveling back.

We have a really big group going to Nationals, which is really hard to qualify for. You have to pretty much have an Olympic Trials cut to go, so really making a statement as a team there. We’re going to have a huge presence on the pool deck and in the water. I’m excited to see all of our hard work, we’ve been really focused this summer and worked really hard. It’s all about to pay off in a few weeks in San Antonio.

How much are the Olympic Trials on your mind?

They’re about 11 months away, so I still have some time, which is good.

I have a lot of work to do, and some studying. The Pan American Games was a huge experience builder for me. Going to the NCAA’s is awesome, but it’s

so different than what an international meet is like, and being able to do that is just priceless.

I’m just going to take it one meet at a time and not get ahead of myself. I’m just looking forward to it, it’s going to be a fun time.

How much added confidence does this give you in the pool?

It was a huge confidence builder, winning Gold, and against two Canadians on the their home soil. Looking back, I guess that was more impressive than I made it seem like in my head. I was not very happy with my time, but just happy that I had the opportunity to be there. That will definitely be another added bonus to my confidence going into this year and into Trials next summer.

How much of a goal was just qualifying for the Olympic Trials?

I have nothing extra going into next summer as a result of the Pan American Games. I have a lane and so does everyone else. I have to earn it, that’s for sure. Nothing is given to me, so it’s still going to be a battle, but I’m really excited to have that chance. My platform is growing. I have some fans, which is weird and really cool. I’m honored and blessed by that and just want to use my gift for God’s glory.

If you do make the team, what will the reaction be like?

Oh, there will be some tears for sure. I haven’t allowed myself to dream to that moment, but it would be a dream come true. VT

The Fans Are the Thing at LCFC

f you had asked Chris Stout in March if he wanted to go to a Louisville City game, he would have turned you down flat.

the experience that much better.

Stout would encourage people who aren’t familiar with soccer to give Louisville City a shot.

“It’s a completely different experience in person rather than watching a game on TV, and that’s been my entire experience with soccer SARAH “I just wasn’t into soccer at up to this point,” he says. “The all,” he says. Flash forward a few BODE atmosphere and just being able to months, and Stout is singing an entirely different tune. A friend convinced see how engaged the players are – they are him to go to the June 27 matchup against what makes it a lot of fun, even if you don’t Oklahoma City where Magnus Rasmussen, know anything about the game.”

Kadeem Dacres and captain Matt Fondy Asked if he plans to go again, Stout answers, combined for an incredible six goals.

“Absolutely!”

Regardless of the final score, Stout said it Echoing this enthusiasm is Jennifer was the atmosphere that really won him over. Kluesner.

“It’s great having the college teams,” Kluesner says. “But being able to have a home professional team to support is just awesome.”

Having supported the team from the beginning, Kluesner says the difference between the early games and now is amazing.

“In the beginning we had the supporters group, the die-hards, and they made almost all the noise,” she says. “Now, we have even the most casual fans getting involved in the cheering, and that’s really cool to see.”

Kluesner added that the noise level has been almost electric recently.

Louisville City has been noted for having a great retention rate among first-time fans.

When asked why she thinks that is, Kluesner credits the atmosphere.

“I think the fact that it’s a new environment filled with such fun, positive energy,” she says.

“It’s a unique experience in the city.”

It looks like this experience will continue for thousands of fans as Louisville heads into the home stretch of the regular season and eyes the USL playoffs.

Venus and Serena exemplify the ers. There are college coaches watching me, so in my mind, I am saying that I have to beauty that lies within siblings in sport.

The same can be said about two basketball sisters from Male High School. Big sister Iliyah Green is older than her little sister India Green by two years. Growing up playing the game, Iliyah would always let India know that she is the big sister and that she can’t be beat. But as they have gotten older, they have learned to work together for one common goal: to be an effective and exemplary duo on the basketball court.

India also has her big sister who she is able to look up to both at Male and in AAU competition.

“I try to be her all the time, and it is fun playing with her. When we do something good, we get hyped. So people are looking up to us. I look up to her, and people always compare me to her.”

Siblings have an innate biological connection. For India, she is uplifted when she catches a glimpse of her sister on the same court.

“We cheerleaded in our childhood, so we just cheer each other on now. If I score, she pats me on the butt, and we pump each other up on the court and in practice. We push each other to do better.”

Iliyah will be going into her senior year as the number two ranked player in the state.

She understands that her leadership speaks volumes to her other teammates at Male and also to her little sister.

With her younger sister showing so much talent and potential, Iliyah strives to exemplify now what true leadership is about so that when India gets to her senior year, she can assume the same kind of leadership role.

“Being a leader is very tough. You can’t lead someone and tell them to do this; you also have to do it yourself. You have to watch what you do because everyone else is looking up to you.”

When Iliyah was asked her thoughts on India’s 2017 senior season, she said, “She has to be the leader because people are going to look up to her – not because she is the best player on the team but because as a senior they will look up to her. She has to lead by example and not just by words.”

“It is very fun playing with her,” says Iliyah. “Whenever we play against each other, I try my best, and I make sure she does not beat me.

But playing with her on the court, she is very exciting when it comes to basketball.

She always claims she is my number one fan no matter what. She is always supporting me, cheering me on and being my coach even though I am the oldest one. So it is very fun playing with her.”

Iliyah helped lead Male to a historic run this past

The one-two punch of the Green sisters will surely look to knock out the competition next season as they continue to serve as Louisville’s own Venus and Serena. VT

EAR ABBY: A trusted and beloved family member who takes care of my cats – and therefore has a key to my house – has been stealing things like cleaning supplies, knickknacks, family pictures, etc. Most of them have little monetary value. But imagine my surprise when I spotted some of my missing seashell collection in her fish tank!

good shape for my age (48), but my husband agrees it’s rude.

Dear Abby JEANNE PHILLIPS

Naturally, I can’t accuse her of taking things like seashells that anyone can pick up free on the beach, but I select ones with distinct markings, which is why I know they are mine. It’s frustrating to run out of toothpaste and find that the spare tube I just bought is missing. It’s not like she doesn’t have the money to buy her own.

She does so much for me and my kids. Should I just continue to ignore it? – SEASHELLS BY THE SEASHORE DEAR S.B.T.S.: Your family member may have a touch of kleptomania – a compulsion to steal – or perhaps she takes the items because she feels entitled to “payment” for the favors she does for you.

If you confront her, she will probably deny it.

This is not to imply that you must continue putting up with it until she takes something with greater sentimental (or tangible) value. Ask her to return your key “because you have made other arrangements to care for your cats,” or change your locks. Then follow through with someone who won’t take advantage of your trust.

••• DEAR ABBY: My wife is a big woman (not fat). She’s an athlete and quite strong. We both enjoy wrestling. We are evenly matched and do it often.

Many times she’ll pin me down with me on my back, shoulders to the ground. Other times, I do the same to her. The loser takes the winner out to dinner. We enjoy it greatly.

Are we crazy? Are we weird? And most of all, are we alone in this activity? – HAPPY HUSBAND IN FLORIDA DEAR HAPPY HUSBAND: As long as no one gets hurt, what two consenting adults do is their business. I don’t think you are either crazy or weird, nor are you alone in this activity. What you have described as “wrestling” some people call “foreplay.”

••• DEAR ABBY: Can you advise me on how to respond to comments from younger men when I am at dinner or out with friends? I often get “Wow, you are really good looking for an older woman!” which I find vaguely insulting even though they may think it’s a compliment. I’m in

I’m at a loss for a snappy comeback and usually so embarrassed that I just turn away and pretend that I didn’t hear. Am I overly sensitive? Should I be thanking them? That doesn’t feel right. Any witty responses you think would be good? – SPEECHLESS IN SAN DIEGO

DEAR SPEECHLESS: A left-handed compliment is one that has two meanings – one of which is not flattering to the recipient. Because you find it offensive, say, “I may look ‘older’ to you, but I’m not so old I consider that to be a compliment.”

••• DEAR ABBY: I’m a 19-year-old woman in college who still lives with my parents. I found out something several weeks ago that’s bothering me, and I need advice badly.

Years ago, after a robbery, my parents installed security cameras outside our house. I knew about them because they were visible. But apparently some were installed that I knew nothing about.

I have done things while alone to help control certain feelings, and I have also walked around without much on when my parents were away and never thought anything about it. Ever since I found out, I have been freaking out.

I don’t want to make a big deal about it because I’m afraid if my parents didn’t look at anything before, then they will now. I want to know if they have seen what I was doing. Part of me says to ignore this because they’re family – so who cares. My parents have never said anything about seeing me.

We’re Catholics, and I have heard the lecture about avoiding self-gratification ever since I can remember. I’m very careful about what I do now, but I am still bothered. Should I just forget and move on, or should I ask? – POSSIBLY PARANOID DEAR POSSIBLY PARANOID: If your parents had been viewing the security footage and felt you were doing something wrong, you would have heard about it from them by now. What you need to know is that masturbation is normal. It is not depraved, a crime or harmful to your health.

ALL normal boys and girls (and some adults, too) practice this natural type of sexual gratification.

(If it makes you feel guilty because you have been told it’s “wrong,” then stop doing it.) Now, forget about it and move on.

••• DEAR ABBY: I am a gay male and my boyfriend of three years just confessed to me that he’s been cheating on me for the better part of our relationship. We went to counseling in an attempt to repair the damage that was done and to see if

59

I could regain any of the trust that I once had in him. During our counseling session, he told me that he was sleeping with his stepbrother. I had forgiven him prior to this disclosure and thought I could move past it, but I’m no longer sure I can.

Before he told me about the cheating, I had bought an engagement ring for him and was nearly finished paying for it. Now, I am unsure if I want to pay it off because I am so appalled about what has transpired. On the other hand, I’m afraid it will affect my credit history if I don’t.

What would you do if you were in my position?

– CAN’T MOVE PAST IT DEAR CAN’T MOVE PAST IT: A partner who would cheat on you for that length of time has a character deficiency and will probably do it again. If I were in your position, I’d end the relationship, finish paying for the ring and then cut my losses by selling it. That way, all of the payments you have made won’t go down the tubes, and your credit rating will be intact.

••• DEAR ABBY: My daughter is a 29-year-old new mother. I know times have changed since I was a new mom, but the restrictions my daughter has put on visiting her and my new grandson are unrealistic.

Since his birth three weeks ago, I have seen him only once – at the hospital. She has taken him on two outings: one where there were 10 people and another where there were more than 100. (My grandson has not yet received any of his childhood vaccinations.)

My daughter now says that when I visit, I must change into freshly washed clothes before entering her house. She’s afraid that the secondhand smoke will harm him.

I’m not unintelligent. I have bought disinfectants to spray on myself, as well as breath strips. I also wash my hands, arms and face before I hold him. Am I unrealistic in thinking she’s asking too much, or should I say something to her and let her know how much she has hurt me? – CRYING DAY AND NIGHT DEAR CRYING: I do think you should talk to your daughter. What she may be trying to do is encourage you to quit smoking. I doubt that she’s doing it to be hurtful.

Her motivation may be that she knows how unhealthy smoking is and would like you to be around until your grandchild is well into adulthood. The odds of that happening will be higher if you can find a way to give up tobacco. And when you do, consider putting all the money you save – and it will be plenty – into an education fund for your grandson.

••• Dear Abby is written by Abigail Van Buren, also known as Jeanne Phillips, and was founded by her mother, Pauline Phillips. Contact Dear Abby at www.DearAbby.com or P.O. Box 69440, Los Angeles, CA 90069.

Is your child thriving in school...

or simply surviving?

Children with learning differences do not benefit from simply “getting by” in school. If your child’s school is “accommodating” his learning, they are working around his learning differences. At Meredith-Dunn School we demystify those differences and develop strategies to work through them. We call it remediation. Once the mystery to learning is solved, anything is possible!

Walden Theatre Conservatory Theatre Program

1123 Payne St., 40204 502.589.0084 waldentheatre.org/conservatory Often regarded as one of the best places in town for students to learn theatre, Walden offers its renowned Conservatory Program after school throughout the year for young people yearning to take part in the transformative experience of live theatre. The award-winning Conservatory Program engages young people and our community through classes in acting, directing, playwriting, stagecraft, stage combat, dance, movement and voice and with its highly regarded season of plays. The Shakespeare education program is among the most comprehensive in the nation and culminates each year in the Young American Shakespeare Festival. Classes are offered for students age 5 to 18 in a host of different areas that expertly span the gamut of theatre to give children a robust and comprehensive education. Sessions are generally two hours, two times a week and will be sure to teach your child skills for the theatre and also for their life beyond.

Mom’s Music Lessons

1900 Mellwood Ave., 40206 502.897.3304 momsmusic.com/education For the burgeoning musician in every child, the Louisville staple Mom’s Music has something to offer. Mentored by the region’s finest musicians and other world-class faculty, students are exposed to unconstrained musical exploration in a fun and engaging atmosphere.

Mom’s programs are designed to maximize artistic exposure, and classes are offered in piano, guitar, bass, drums, violin, banjo, mandolin, ukelele and more at a variety of levels.

Whether private or in a group, Mom’s instruction will give children a musical ability that will stick with them for years to come.

Louisville Ballet School

4121 Shelbyville Road, 40207 502.895.3700 louisvilleballet.org/danceschool The esteemed Louisville Ballet, a fixture on the cultural scene of the city, offers instruction to children via the Louisville Ballet School. There are classes for your toddlers and your teenagers that focus on a variety of skill sets. In the Classical Ballet Program, the instructors nurture the students’ love for dance and the arts through the disciplined study of classical ballet technique. Some students are then invited to the Pre-Professional Program where students’ dance education includes men’s and women’s technique class, pointe work, variations, pas de deux and repertoire, performance opportunities with the Louisville Ballet Youth Ensemble and the opportunity to train and perform in complementary dance disciplines.

LearningRx

4121 Shelbyville Road, 40207; 10317 Champion Farms Drive, 40241 502.259.9903 learningrx.com Vastly different from tutoring, LearningRx is a unique academic program. Traditional tutoring reteaches information or content that should have been learned in the classroom setting, but LearningRx seeks to help children with the more fundamental issue at hand. It focuses on the underlying cognitive skills that make learning and reading difficult with emphasis on long and short term memory, visual processing, auditory processing, logic and reasoning, attention and general and executive processing speed.

These areas comprise the way information is stored, accessed or learned. The process begins with a psychological evaluation (the WJIII) that serves as an assessment and does not provide a diagnosis. A program is constructed from there that usually runs three

times a week for hour and a half sessions. Regardless of your child’s ability, you can be sure that LearningRx will take innovative steps to help them on their way. Mention that you saw this blurb and receive 50% off the testing fee.

ports children from several area schools and takes them right to one of their three facilities around town. Classes can occur daily at a variety of times. For more information and a more detailed schedule, please visit their website.

“We had to get a variance from the Kentucky Board of Education.”

The parking lot will be smaller, but Blackburn says that will not be a problem because of the availability of street parking.

Beyond that, there are challenges to building any school. Blackburn says he has incorporated as much color as possible to make it interesting to children.

Safety is also a factor in a school’s design.

“Security is a big issue now,” says Blackburn.

“Most of the building is viewable from the office.”

says the new school is needed because the population of east Louisville has grown and is expected to continue growing. The new school will prevent crowding at other schools “so class sizes can stay at a reasonable number,” Wampler says. Norton Commons is scheduled to open for business August 2016, i.e. at the start of the next school year.

The new school will have 24 classrooms for kindergarten through fifth grade, eight early childhood classrooms, plus a music room, art room, library and computer lab. Special features include geothermal heating and cooling, solar heated water, occupancy sensors and audio enhancement in the classrooms, J U LY 3 0 , 2 0 1 5 • W W W . V O I C E -T R I B U N E .

according to Stephanie Bateman, Jefferson County Public Schools Director of Communications.

Porter was alone in voting against it. She is on record as believing there is sufficient room at other schools.

The total cost of the building is $17,200,000, and Jefferson County’s Board of Education predicts that there will be about 400 K-5 students in the inaugural class. The school’s capacity is 600 students. Parents within Jefferson County school cluster 10 will have the option to send their children to Norton Commons. Cluster 10 includes Chancey, Goldsmith, Stopher, Middletown and Bowen elementary schools.

Norton Commons Elementary may not necessarily be called “Norton Commons Elementary” when the children enter it around a year from now. The school board offered community members an opportunity to suggest school names. As of this writing, the name has not been announced, but it has been narrowed down to three choices. The school may be named after Jack Crowner, a Louisville broadcaster, or Steve Tyra, a longtime county principal. Or it may retain the name “Norton Commons.” VT

Outfitting Generations of Students

n a sweltering morning in late July, it feels like Christmas at Shaheen’s Department Store.

“I remember my dad telling me how they had to sit on top of the Portland store with shotguns trying to keep out the looters – they’d be coming down the street on their boats,” Shaheen recalls.

When the Depression ran his grandfather’s customers out of cash, he’d At 994 Breckenridge Lane in St. Business give them clothes for their kids and tell Matthews, all the staff at Shaheen’s are Profile them to pay him back when they could. going full tilt to outfit kids for another academic year – and the first day of WES Around 1950, schools around Portschool is coming fast. The folks at Shaland started asking Pappy Sam to carry KERRICK heen’s sell uniforms to students from material so they could sew uniforms more than 300 schools in Louisville and through- for their students. So he granted their request, and out Kentucky and Southern Indiana. before long, he was selling uniforms for kids.

And they fulfill web orders from across the country, shipping out uniforms from New York to California.

Along with school uniforms, they also carry extensive lines of Dickies and Carhartt work clothes and professional uniforms for women and men.

“We’re probably one of the few stores in the country that does what we do,” says co-owner Sam Shaheen.

The store got its start in the Portland neigborhood, where another store is still open at 2604 Portland Ave. For Shaheen and his brother Kevin Shaheen, owning and operating the store comes naturally.

“I was brought up in this business,” says Sam Shaheen. “I used to be down in Portland sleeping on the back shelves when I was a little kid.”

Their father, Eli Shaheen, was the previous owner.

With a front row seat to the retail acumen of his mom and their dad, the brothers couldn’t help but learn the business.

“We’re actually one of the pioneers of school uniforms,” Shaheen says.

Their grandfather, also named Sam Shaheen, opened the store in 1922 when Portland was a booming railroad center and shipping port. Selling work clothes, gloves and hats to the rail workers, “Pappy Sam” was so successful, neither the Great Depression nor the flood of 1937 could shut him down.

PHOTOS COURTESY OF SHAHEEN’S

Today, the parents who are flocking out to pick up their children’s uniforms are themselves the children – even grandchildren – of Pappy Sam’s customers.

A total of about 25 employees in each store has a role in making sure today’s customers leave the store as happy as folks did back in the ’20s and ’30s. That requires maintaining communication with hundreds of schools to stay on top of their specific requirements for uniforms.

Over the years, students have sought more fashionable outfits, so schools have wanted more options. And that means Shaheen’s staff must be familiar with more choices and possibilities than ever.

Shaheen’s wife, Sherry Shaheen, and his two sons help run the store.

Mike Shaheen heads up the embroidery, and Sam Shaheen Jr. handles the bookkeeping. Mike’s wife, Sarah Shaheen, also works at the store.

Since they’re family, Shaheen says the people running the store have a keen interest in its success.

It’s a big part of why Shaheen’s continues to provide great customer service and maintain a steady flow of business.

“They’re trying to work right and get things run right because one day, this is going to be theirs.” VT For more information, call the store at 800.472.0088 or visit shaheens.com. Or, check out Shaheen’s on Facebook at facebook. com/ShaheensDepartmentStore.

No Slowing Down for Ann Wells

Two years nn Wells knows why ago, School she has spent the past Choice Schol17 years working with arships had School Choice Scholarships.

174 children All it takes to remind her is a on scholarship, and the nummother to approach her and say Staff Writer bers have conhow her child’s life has been tinued to grow. changed by education – the lesIGOR This August, sons learned, the new friends GURYASHKIN there will be made and the lavish attention 345 students on scholarships at 51 diffrom teachers.

“A mother came up to me last year at the graduation party,” recalls Wells. “At the end of the party...she came up to me with her hand out and she said ‘I just want to thank you.’ She said, ‘I had problems with drugs…I got my three boys into scholarships, and it’s made such a difference in our lives.’ And she said ‘I’m graduating from Bellarmine next year.’”

Wells pauses.

“That’s the kind of story that keeps you going. We’ve had children from Southeast Asia, from Africa, from Somalia. And children from the west end and the south end...You know, we’ve had every child. Children from every part of the world, it seems like, that we’ve helped. And the stories and what a difference it’s made in their lives – they’re living the American dream.”

School Choice Scholarship was founded in 1998 by Wells, alongside locals Baylor Landrum, Jim Patterson, George Fischer and Phil Moffett. The goal was to raise money each year for education scholarships for children up to eighth grade with the aim of giving parents and guardians the choice as to which school their children could attend. In fact, since its inception, more than 5,000 children from low-income families have received scholarships totaling more than $7 million, with $700,000 raised last year alone. Today, Wells and Moffett still sit on the board, with Wells returning to chair it once more.

For Wells, the organization has been a chance to give to low-income members of the community something she herself was lucky enough to receive – a private education.

Wells recalls switching from a public school with 50 children in her class to a private school with 30. “I became a good math student, and I think I may have been lost in a larger class.

There are so many lost children who don’t finish their education.”

ferent schools, and the goal is to keep on growing, improving and finding more opportunities.

In Wells, there seems to be an endless drive to accomplish this, to get bigger and better.

One person who counts on Wells’ invaluable input and experience is executive director of School Choice Scholarships, Heather Huddleston. For Huddleston, Wells’ mix of drive and passion for the past 17 years is the reason so much money has been raised and so many children have been given the chance to receive a topnotch education. “[Ann] is incredibly passionate about these kids, and cares so much about them, and listening to her talk about them is incredibly inspiring,” explains Huddleston.

“Her enthusiasm for this work is contagious. Thanks to Ann and the other founders and board members, thousands of children’s lives have been changed through education...Ann is at the heart of everything this organization has done for 17 years. It would not be thriving and growing today without her.”

Adds renowned Louisville businessman Jim Patterson, co-founder of the School Choice Scholarships: “Working with Ann to start School Choice Scholarships and then to build it to where it is today has been a fulfillment of a lifelong goal. Ann is enthusiastic, dedicated and generous with her time and money, and it’s wonderful to be able to work with her. It’s remark-

able that she is our board chair again this year, 17 years into this work. Her excitement about School Choice has been unwavering.”

As for Wells herself, she’s showing no signs of slowing down, hoping that she can keep going as long as she can make a difference.

“I’m never going to run for office; that’s not my thing,” laughs Wells. “So I figured I can change this world one child at a time, and this world needs changing. I guess that’s the way I feel – that I can change one child at a time, and that keeps me going. I have done it for 17 years now and hope I can do it for another 17 years.” VT For more information on School Choice Scholarships visit schoolchoiceky.org

SPOTLIGHT

National Alliance of Mental Illness

T

By KEATON PRICE, The Voice-Tribune Intern

his week we talked to Terri Hall, a Louisville local who is both a volunteer and a member of Louisville’s chapter of the National Alliance of Mental Illness.

Also known as NAMI, this organization is a vital resource for people dealing with mental illness. Terri details her affiliation with the group and also discusses NAMI’s upcoming Louisville Step Forward for Mental Health Walk on Saturday, August 15.

Could you start by giving us some general background info? Are you originally from Louisville?

I’m a volunteer at NAMI Louisville and Seven Counties Services. I’m originally from Elizabethtown but have lived in Louisville for four years. I moved here for treatment, to live in a recovery house. I have a grown son, the light of my life, who lives in Atlanta and has a successful job and a wonderful fiancée.

I’ve lost decades of my life to mental illness and addiction, but I recently found the needed tools to fight back. For the first

time, I’m able to say I’m winning the battle. NAMI Louisville is one of the reasons why. With NAMI, I found people who listen and care.

Can you tell us a little bit about NAMI? What sort of programs does the organization offer? Does the group work with people of all ages dealing with mental illness?

NAMI Louisville is the local affiliate of the National Alliance on Mental Illness.

NAMI Louisville offers a host of free programs and services for people affected by mental illness. There are courses for families and caregivers of people with severe mental illness and courses specifically for parents of children living with mental illness. NAMI Louisville also has recovery support group meetings and family support group meetings on a weekly basis. Social events are planned on a monthly basis.

What is your NAMI story? How would you say NAMI programs have helped you in your recovery?

NAMI Louisville has been my lifeline.

It’s been the difference of knowing I’m not alone. I had hit bottom many times in

my life, but my worst moment happened last year. I was evicted from my apartment and was alone and homeless. I’m so fortunate I finally found the right treatment and support to turn my life around. I regularly take part in NAMI Connection meetings, a recovery support group. It’s a chance to be with others who know exactly what I’m going through. We talk, listen, share, laugh and cry. More than anything, we’re there for one another.

NAMI’s Louisville Step Forward for Mental Health Walk is coming up on Saturday, August 15. Are you going to participate in the walk?

I wouldn’t be anywhere else. It was last year’s walk that provided my introduction to NAMI Louisville. A close friend and supporter that I had met through Seven Counties Services suggested I take part in the walk. I’m so glad I did – it has helped to change my life. I will be volunteering at this year’s walk. It’s going to be a fun day of meeting new people, and also a special one. My life has changed dramatically this past year. When I see hundreds of people stepping forward for mental health, it will be a touching reminder that I’m no longer alone. VT W W W . V O I C E -T R I B U N E . C O M • J U LY 3 0 , 2 0 1 5

Movie Diary: July 2015 –Part 2 Film BENNETT DUCKWORTH

I

bennettduckworth.blogspot.com

Bennett Duckworth is a film fanatic who lives in Louisville and goes to see a movie in the theater at least once a week. He has kept a movie review blog since September of 2011 with the mission of writing about every new release he sees, as well as new trends in film making and classic films he loves. Read more of his reviews at his website.

n “Vacation,” we essentially get a remake of “National Lampoon’s Vacation,” the raunchy road-trip comedy from 1983. The film is technically a sequel, now starring the grownup Rusty Griswold (Ed Helms). In the original run of “Vacation” movies, Rusty changed age, appearance and personality enough that it isn’t really a stretch for him to now be a father character with the same oblivious and delusional optimism that his father, Clark Griswold – still hysterically played by Chevy Chase – possessed.

It’s a remake masquerading as a sequel because Rusty is desperate to take charge of his family’s growing disconnect by forcing them to experience a road trip like the one he had as a kid. So once again, the Griswolds are off to Wally World with a mess of trouble to encounter along the way.

I found it to be as mixed an experience as the original film. Some of the weaker aspects of the movie’s humor are stretched thin while many of the other gags land beautifully. Writers/directors John Francis Daley and Jonathan M. Goldstein (the scribes behind “Horrible Bosses”) essentially excel in maintaining an irreverent tone.

Unfortunately, Ed Helms turns in a one-note performance as the film’s lead character. Christina Applegate, as his wife, often outshines him with an understated performance. The feuding children are this time brothers, where the younger of the two is the bully, which felt original. The talented list of cameos throughout the film also provided an element of satisfaction.

“Vacation” may be a shameless cash-grab, but it inspired enough laughs for me to give it some kind of recommendation. “Pixels,” however … ugh.

I may be capable of defending Adam Sandler J U LY 3 0 , 2 0 1 5 • W W W . V O I C E -T R I B U N E . C O M

for his proven comic and acting potential, but when Sandler himself has spent nearly a decade avoiding this potential, opting instead for his Happy Madison production company to act as a cheerleader for ignorance and low standards in moviegoers, I’m finding myself siding with so many others who just choose to hate the guy.

As dumb a premise as “Pixels” may sound to some, the concept of aliens invading our world while taking the form of low bitrate 1980s arcade game characters sounds like comic gold to me. The short internet film on which the feature is based proved how amusing the concept was. Forming a story around it that mocks disaster films could have gone in a great direction if Sandler and Co. had just been inspired.

Instead, this movie is a long, sad, unfunny experience utilizing money and power to tamper with an entire generation’s affection for classic video games without any appreciation for the privileged opportunity. This isn’t a disaster comedy. It’s a comedy disaster.

This leaves me with only one comedy in theaters to really recommend. I’ve finally seen the Amy Schumer/Judd Apatow collaboration “Trainwreck.” Apatow’s showbiz influence continues to outshine the wasted expensive efforts of his former roommate, Sandler.

He actually has an appreciation for the complications of human relationships, and he knows how to utilize celebrities beautifully. I never thought LeBron James would have such a funny screen presence.

72

Director aside, this is Amy Schumer’s movie, and her screenplay gives us the fearless sexuality of a shameless man-using heavy drinker as she confronts her fears of emotional commitment with a shy good-willed doctor (Bill Hader). Were it not for Apatow’s inability to trim the film’s length, this two-hour-plus movie would have been even better. VT

Based on early positive response, Wallace hopes to make it an annual event.

Sister Sweet Epiphany.”

“Trans Awareness: United As One” is the event he organized, happening this Friday, July 31 at 7 p.m. at the Mercury Ballroom downtown. “I’m super, super excited about it,” says Wallace.

Wallace has acted as an informal consultant for parents confused about their children who have discussed transitioning. Many have wanted to be supportive but were scared and didn’t know where to start. Wallace is one who knows where they can go to get help and education.

“Of course, once Caitlyn Jenner came out, it really put the spotlight on the trans community,” Wallace says. “People are still uneducated – I was uneducated. There’s a lot of the LGB community that is uneducated, and this is a PHOTO COURTESY OF SHAWN WALLACE

Wallace, who grew up on a tobacco farm near Elizabethtown, has a close friend, Trista Ray, who transitioned several years ago. She and her wife had a baby in 2009, and Wallace says he acted as “the dad” for a period, visiting doctors with the women sometimes because they were afraid of how they would otherwise be perceived.

We’ve grown in leaps and bounds since then, he says, noting that trans-positive and educated physicians from the University of Louisville will be among the featured guests Friday. But Wallace was inspired to put this night together when he realized that he had never seen an event like this before here.

“Education saves lives. If people aren’t educated, they’re going to continue to hate without realizing that they’re hating...as odd as that

73

sounds, that’s really how it is.”

Wallace has always felt comfortable in his regular performance character, whom he calls a “gay sideshow zombie performer,” testing limits and confusing people gleefully. “At Forecastle, I walked around as Shawna. Everybody – straight, gay, man, woman – when I got that eye contact, they were, like, ‘What is that?’ I’d give them a big hug. ‘You’re scary but you’re beautiful!’ A lot of the straight guys shocked me. They were, like, ‘You know, my girl’s been getting hit on all day long. You’re the first person to tell me I’m beautiful.’ It was a really cool experience.”

But when he was younger, it wasn’t always so cool. Around the time of the Columbine shootings, Wallace found his name on a hit list because he was gay. He and a few others were pulled out of school for a day but then returned.

Nothing much came of the incident then, but Wallace says the person he is today would make sure local news organizations were made aware of such a situation.

“This has been an amazing journey for me, to walk around and meet the community and hear stories of what the trans community has gone through...If we don’t get out there and fight for them and tell them how much they’re loved – there’s so much suicide in the trans community right now. They don’t realize that they’re loved. They don’t realize that they’re supported.

They’re struggling financially because it’s hard for them to be their selves at jobs. The idea of this event is to bring all of those organizations together that support the trans community, and will educate the rest of the community.” VT W W W . V O I C E -T R I B U N E .

M O N DAY, AU G U S T 1 0 WALL TOGETHER Wall Together is a project that partners The

75

Speed Art Museum with local art organizations or non-profits to engage community participation through art. In conjunction with the Speed and each Wall Together exhibition collaborator, there is a call to youth to create art that will be exhibited at the Museum’s satellite space, Local Speed, four times a year, side-by-side with the main exhibition. The project was created with the goal to provide a site for community collaboration and a space for young artists to have the opportunity to share their unique perspectives through artistic expression. Wall Together strives to be a reflection of Kentucky’s diverse youth culture. The Home of the Innocents is a private, non-profit agency in Louisville that provides the skills and opportunities by which vulnerable children and their families may improve their lives. Through their facilities and resources, the Home is able to offer many services, including a crisis shelter, residential care and a therapeutic, loving foster care program. The Speed Art Museum partnered with the Home to create “The Color of My World,” the next Wall Together exhibit at Local Speed. In this joint endeavor, Speed staff members helped guide a group of young women during a fourweek exploration of collage. Participants were introduced to inspiring artists and a variety of techniques as they learned how to translate their individual perspectives into works of art through the intentional use of color and shape.

Their thoughtful efforts resulted in final collages and poems that vibrantly express their unique journeys toward self-empowerment.

The opening reception for this event will be 5:30-7:30 p.m. at Local Speed. This reception is free and open to the public.

PUZZLES

pets of the week Richard is a 5-year-old Jack Russell Terrier mix.

He’s calm and collected but can be shy and aloof with strangers. Like most small terriers, he does have an independent streak and exhibits some selective hearing. Unlike most small terriers, however, he’s very quiet and rarely barks! He may be on the timid side, but once he gets to know you, he enjoys a good cuddle session and leisurely walks. Richard is neutered, micro-chipped and up-to-date on his vaccinations. Come meet him today at the Kentucky Humane Society’s Preston Feeders Supply, 5763 Preston Hwy. 3-year-old Trapper is a sweet domestic shorthair. Her foster caregiver says she’s a funloving, playful girl who loves to play with other cats in the home. Trapper also likes to take some sweet power naps to help her prepare for play sessions. Trapper is a very petite little girl, and she appears to be deaf – but that has never slowed her down.

Trapper is spayed, up-to-date on all vaccinations and micro-chipped.

Since Trapper thrives in a home, she is going to stay with her foster family as a part of our foster ambassador program until her forever person comes along. If you’re looking for a sweet, loving friend, please consider Trapper! To meet Trapper, call 502.366.3355 to set up an appointment.

For more on any of our adoptable pets, please call 502.366.3355 or visit kyhumane.org
