June has long been touted as the most popular time for weddings, and though it remains that with 10.8 percent of the $72 billion per year industry taking place in that month, I was surprised to see that August is gaining ground with 10.2 percent of the total share and September not far behind with 9.6 percent. But truthfully, wedding planning season is year-round, and we hope our Fall Bridal Issue offers inspiration for anyone mired down in the details of seating charts and DJ-definitely-donot-play lists.

LETTER

Gunnar Deatherage creatively directed a striking bridal spread that, he says, was based on the idea of a dream. In “Raphaelite Reverie,” you will see a romantic love story masterfully captured by photographer Jacob Roberts with a bit of a haze. I find the added element of trance an appropriate one as I know many brides and grooms alike dream of their own wedding day for years, only to have those dreams morph into near-nightmares as the date approaches and they worry about particulars going awry. The memories of my own wedding day still seem to be covered in a film of fog as I fought to swap my emotions for just the motions, electing in some moments to observe rather than participate — stuck in the reverie of the revelry.

I do recall one piece of advice given to me by my sister, my maid-of-honor, just before I walked down the aisle. No, it wasn’t to soak up and enjoy every moment. It wasn’t about how lucky I was to marry who was (and still is), truly, the man of my dreams. It wasn’t even that she was going to miss me as a roommate. She said, “Don’t cry, or you will mess up your spray tan.” It was 2004, after all, and the beauty routine was a novel one. I had just had my first for this occasion (an ill-advised risk, I’ll admit) and we Tonya Abeln didn’t know how the tawny tint was going to play out throughout the day. It was a prime concern. I think this is why our mini feature, “If I Only Knew…” appeals to me so much: I would add to those six tips to always plan a trial run on any beauty experiments. Recently, when trying to elicit romantic conversation from my husband on an anniversary, I asked what he remembered most about our wedding day and he responded with, “You were so tan.”

The most important tip, however, is to truly celebrate all the work you have done to get to this day.

Abandon the performances and create an experience that is meaningful and personal to you, distilling everything down so it is just about two people who really like each other, maybe even surrounded by an average of 178 friends and family who like you too. The Voice-Tribune wishes you the best in offering this guide to creating your own dream.

Sarah and Marcus Powell AU G UST 2 9 , 2 0 1 5 story by Kellie Doligale

arah and Marcus Powell’s summer nuptials pulled together countless inspirations from their Old Kentucky Home in elegant fashion. Though bride and groom were both born and raised in the Bluegrass, they ultimately migrated farther south to Houston, Texas to live and work. They bonded over a mutual passion for music, and after Marcus proposed in late December 2014, they planned a distinctly Kentuckian event in both location and vision.

“I wanted to make it as authentic as possible,” Sarah says. “If I can’t get the real thing, I don’t want the fake thing.” Their wedding took place on August 29, 2015, at Hermitage Farm in Goshen. Marcus, the COO of the Gulf Coast Region for Hospital Corporation of America, is originally from the small western Kentucky town of Sebree, attended the University of Kentucky and has a long-standing passion for horse racing, so the decision to marry at a historic Thoroughbred horse farm was an easy one. Kentucky touches extended beyond the wedding itself, as out-of-towners who stayed at the Brown Hotel received fried chicken buckets filled with miscel-

laneous state and Derby City-themed items upon check-in.

The ceremony began at 6:30 p.m. as the late summer sun poured through the mature trees surrounding the Hermitage Main House. The scene was balanced in modern and traditional as guests sat in refurbished church pews placed in the grass on either side of the brick path leading up to the pristine estate porch. “I really wanted the focal point to be the house,” Sarah recalls.

After the bridal party – gentlemen in black suits and bowties and ladies in floor-length mauve chiffon and gold earrings of tiny horseshoes gathered in a cluster – the bride descended in a continued on page 8 PHOTOS BY AESTHETICA PHOTOGRAPHY

strapless lace gown, her long, lacetrimmed veil trailing the ground behind the modest train.

The colors of late summer fading into fall accented the overall rustic chic theme, which Sarah remembers as “soft and inviting.” At the reception, under a massive white tent complete with glowing string lights and chandeliers, wildflowers abounded and the wedding party sat at farm tables surrounded by shades of rose and gold accents.

During cocktail hour, the Churchill Downs bugler played “My Old Kentucky Home” and later announced husband and wife with the call to the post. The father of the bride and original drummer for Louisville band The Monarchs played a few numbers with the band and gave what Sarah affectionately remembers as a great speech. “My dad is a really big part of my life,” she continued on page 12

Preeminent local caterer Masterson’s served up Southern favorites for appetizers, including mini shrimp and grits and mini Hot Browns, before similarly classic entrees.

Kaneisha and Alex Gravelle SEPTEMBER 6, 2015

story by Kellie Doligale

With those decisions in place, the bride set to work bringing color to the chosen space, a local favorite for its unique industrial-but-inviting appeal and pliant guidelines. “I loved the exposed brick in the event room, and the chandelier caught my eye,” she recalls. She chose to feature her favorite color, purple, with accents of gold and ivory.

or Kaneisha and Alex Gravelle, planning a wedding was about fun and flexibility from the beginning. College sweethearts who met at Indiana University Southeast, they enjoyed a distinctly un-fussy journey to the altar and began married life so effortlessly that it’s palpable even as Kaneisha retells the story nearly a year later.

“I had originally chosen plum as my color, but I was told that’s more for fall,” she recalls casually, “so they suggested sangria.” The eye-catching shade balanced flawlessly against the urban backdrop and complemented her bridesmaids’ range of beautiful skin colors. Ever the easygoing bride, Kaneisha gracefully embraced her vendors’ expertise. “My florist helped a lot of the details come to life as far as the color coordination and centerpieces.”

Every detail is described with playfulness and fond recollection, a fitting notion since many of those details came naturally. “We visited The Mellwood Arts Center on our first day of venue hunting,” Kaneisha explains. “We listened to first dance song options on the way back home. When [“Don’t Change” by Musiq Soulchild] came on, I instantly teared up.” The tune generated a similarly tender reaction from Alex. “That’s when I knew we would choose Mellwood and that particular song.”

bouquet of ivory, blush, bordeaux and royal purple flowers. The groom and his party stood handsomely in charcoal.

After the simple ceremony witnessed by their closest loved ones and orchestrated with traditional vows, Mr. and Mrs. Gravelle entered their reception in style as Michael Jackson’s “Black or White” played, a lighthearted nod to their interracial relationship.

“We thought it would be hilarious and fun,” Kaneisha laughs.

Guests enjoyed frozen sangria specially created for the occasion and bourbon cocktails. “I had the wine bottles spray-painted in gold and placed on each table with table numbers, bourbon and wine barrels for the bar stand and extra wine corks for the guests to sign and drop in a personalized cork holder,” continued on page 20

the bride elaborates, noting that the last detail was a favorite. A slideshow of pictures from their childhoods tied back to the invitations – sideby-side images of the couple as little ones declaring, “These two kids are getting married.”

From their first meeting to their engagement to their honeymoon, Kaneisha and Alex have savored sheer happiness in one another’s company. Photos of their wedding day show a graceful, striking couple clearly in love and excited to begin the next chapter of their lives. In describing her dress, Kaneisha perfectly sums up the aesthetic of their entire wedding: “I didn’t want anything flashy, just elegant and romantic,” she says.

As wedding planning commenced, Karen recalls that selecting a venue proved difficult. As if on cue, their son made his presence known and plans were delayed until after his big entrance. “It ended up working out better to postpone it,” Karen says. “Our rehearsal dinner was on our dating anniversary, and our wedding day was the first day of our ninth year together.”

The delay allowed Karen and Billy Dan to select a perfect location – the Gardencourt estate at the Louisville Seminary. “We kind of themed it around continued on page 25

Have Your Wedding At Historic Bowman Field the concept of theatre,” she explains. “We called it ‘The Wedding.’ The programs looked like the programs you would get from a play, including bios of the wedding party and how they related to us.”

Billy Dan designed a special logo for the occasion depicting a bride and groom on penny-farthing bicycles, complete with Karen’s unmistakable red hair.

As with any great piece of theatre, the day played out in picturesque fashion. Karen’s closest friend and law partner, Julie Kaelin, served as officiant as they exchanged personal vows, selected poems and a legal quote from the Supreme Court ruling allowing marriage equality. “We’re not particularly religious, but we both truly believe in the sanctity of marriage. It was definitely a strong

combination of what was important to us as well as honoring the tradition.”

The bride wore a vintage-inspired art deco gown of lace overtop a gold sheath with cap sleeves and a tulle birdcage head piece atop her tall, statuesque frame. Bridesmaids wore self-chosen blush pink chiffon dresses while the groom and his party looked quintessentially dapper in navy slacks, light blue shirts, suspenders and bowties, with a patterned beige jacket for Billy Dan. Their toddler, Liam, acted as “best boy.”

enjoyed signature cocktails of Elijah Craig and sweet tea or vodka and ginger ale, aptly named the “Southern Gentleman” and “Ginger Bride,” respectively. They indulged in a five-tier cake only so large, Karen laughs, because every flavor they sampled from Louisville staple Plehn’s Bakery was so scrumptious.

Karen’s sister and maid of honor created a video in place of the traditional speech showing “video selfies” of loved ones cut together with photos of the couple. Appropriately, their first dance was a choreographed number they learned for the occasion.

“Most everything we did was a mix of traditional and non-traditional, which suits us,” Karen recalls fondly. Undoubtedly, they pulled off a showstopper. VT

ENGAGEMENT One of the most romantic aspects to any wedding is the engagement. While the authenticity of weddings can sometimes be hidden behind the glitzy spectacle of the occasion, proposals often showcase the true adoration that is so deeply exhibited by two people in love. Here are three firsthand accounts from women who are still trying to catch their breath after being popped the question.

We finally arrived as the sun was beginning to set and the sky turn pink. St. Louis Cathedral looked incredible, so naturally, I had to have a photo taken with each parent. As we began to stroll through the park, I saw someone who resembled Erik. I asked my parents, “Is that Erik?”

sara + erik

My parents were visiting Louisiana from Louisville, and we decided to all spend the weekend in New Orleans. I left Baton Rouge on Thursday to meet and pick up my parents from the airport, and Erik was scheduled to arrive in New Orleans Friday evening after work. The next day, as we were getting ready, I put on an oversized flannel shirt and leggings. My mom asked, “Don’t you want to wear something nicer?” I thought, “Wow, I look that bad?” However, I am now grateful for her good-natured encouragement.

After a leisurely morning and afternoon of cof-

fee, snacks and shopping, my dad said he had found something in a store in the French Quarter that he wanted my mom to see. He told us to meet him at Jackson Square and go from there since it was difficult to describe the store’s location. I asked him to tell me the address since I had lived in New Orleans, but he insisted we meet him at Jackson Square. After some delays on my end, including dropping shopping bags off at the hotel room and choosing to walk rather than cab from the hotel, my dad was getting very impatient, although that’s not necessarily uncharacteristic.

We finally arrived as the sun was beginning to set and the sky turn pink. St. Louis Cathedral looked incredible, so naturally, I had to have a photo taken with each parent. As we began to stroll through the park, I saw someone who resembled Erik. I asked my parents, “Is that Erik?” They didn’t respond because they were frozen with excitement. As I realized it actually was Erik, I felt chills throughout my entire body. Erik approached us, and my parents stood there, looking from me to him and back at me, not knowing at all what to do. Erik suggested we walk away from them, and when he did, he hugged me, told me he loved me more than anyone in the world – followed by a, “You know that, right?” When I responded yes, he

got down on one knee – something that made me excited but also uncomfortable in a way for some reason – he asked if I would marry him and I said, “Yes! Of course!” He denies it, but I am pretty sure I saw him shed a tear or two.

Immediately after the proposal, my parents were there in addition to two of my very best friends, Edward Michael and Maggie. They greeted me with a congratulations and an, “Only you would be late to your own engagement.” Maggie had our entire college group of friends ready on the phone to congratulate me and Erik, which was so incredible. Erik had texted all of them a couple of weeks prior

to let them know of his plan. My friend Olivia took and sent me screenshots of the subsequent responses of my friends, which were very entertaining and sweet. My mom had my sister ready on FaceTime, and Erik’s sisters and aunt called to say congrats. It was incredible and overwhelming.

We returned to the Windsor Court to celebrate where Erik’s parents met us. Since then, it has been champagne and celebrating and planning AND proposals on proposals. Since our engagement, four of my best friends and two of his have gotten engaged! We cannot wait for all of the festivities to come!

Patrick has always said that lying to get me in the car was the hardest thing he ever had to do in order to pull off the easiest decision of his life. But you know what, I think he more than made up for it.

erin + patrick

Patrick said he would never lie to me. But he did. It was a lie he kept going for a long time too. He said he’d never do that to me again…

Patrick put on his best poker face in order to surprise me with an engagement in the spring of 2012. He planned a weekend visit to our alma mater, Murray State in Western Kentucky. Along with another couple of friends, he arranged dinners, visits with friends, trips down memory lane and even a job opportunity with a former professor. Little did I know, all of these “commitments” were a few little white lies on the road to the biggest commitment of them all.

With our bags packed and ready to head out the door, Patrick received a call from work. Something had come up and he had to make it a work weekend (imagine that!). Without a travel buddy, I didn’t want to go on the long drive on my own. However, with all of our commitments for the weekend made, Patrick insisted that I hitch a ride with the other A U G U S T 4 , 2 0 1 6 • V O I C E -T R I B U N E . C O M

couple headed to Murray. I agreed and hopped in the car with the others, not knowing that Patrick would soon hop in his own car and be right behind us the whole ride down!

With a late arrival that evening, I went straight to bed and woke up the next morning to a beautiful Kentucky spring day with my schedule planned out – or so I thought. A friend drove me around and at one point, took a wrong turn and headed to campus without saying a word. He led me to another set of friends who handed me an envelope. Inside was the first of many more love notes that led me to all the stops on the road to my proposal.

Patrick had planned checkpoints all over campus and the town that had sentimental value to us. The library where we had our first “meet up” and study sessions, the restaurant where we had our first date,

the joint where we danced our first dance, and so on. Cars were right there to zoom me off to each stop with each place having a friend of ours hand me the next clue with a smile and without a word. Finally, I was led to the steps of the beautiful auditorium of the university where we both spent so much time. Patrick was at the center of the steps in his jeans, t-shirt and Sambas and a ring. I simply said, “Yes.” We were married at First Baptist in Frankfort and, in true Kentucky fashion, celebrated our reception at Buffalo Trace Distillery with our favorite band Murr-Vegas All Stars singing and playing the night away.

Patrick has always said that lying to get me in the car was the hardest thing he ever had to do in order to pull off the easiest decision of his life. But you know what, I think he more than made up for it.

Brandon has always been in my life. He and I grew up together, and our parents are good friends. So his family has always been like my extended family. Brandon and I sort of fell out of touch as we grew older, Then I saw the ring box. but we reconnected at my brother's Most of the family had wedding in October 2014 after not no idea what was about seeing each other for years. It was to happen, and even for like love at first (grown-up) sight. me, it all starts to turn into a blur from there.

about getting married and even went to look at rings. Somehow though, he still figured out a way to catch me totally off guard when he surprised me with his proposal. I fell in love with this vintage ring from Jordan Clines, but it was a little out of the budget. Brandon acted like he couldn't get the ring, and because it was vintage, there was only one and I thought it had been sold and was gone forever. I was disappointed, but Brandon told me we would look for other one-of-a-kind rings when we went to New York for New Year's Eve at the end of the year.

Then, on Christmas Eve, we were celebrating at Brandon's parents' house with all of his family and my parents and nephew (our future ring bearer). Every year, they do a white elephant gift exchange, and it's pretty big; there are about 30 people and everyone puts in really awesome gifts. My competitive spirit was not excited about getting number 3 (30 is the best), but little did I know, it was all set up for me to get the best gift there!

Brandon was number 2, so he picked a gift and gave it to me to unwrap. It was a medium-sized box, and as I took the top off, I first saw two red roses and thought, "Oh, we hit the jackpot! It's like a day at the spa or couple's massage or something!" Then I saw the ring box. Most of the family had no idea what was about to happen, and even for me, it all starts to turn into a blur from there.

Everyone started to scream with excitement – it was amazing to have our family there to share this special moment with us. And there was another surprise: My best friend was standing around the corner in the kitchen and got to watch the whole thing! We popped a bottle of champagne and celebrated our new engagement before sitting back down to the white elephant gift exchange.

I remember hearing, "What is it? What is it?" all around me. I looked up to Brandon and simply said, "Babe?" He then took the ring box out of my hand and got down on his knee. He kept it short and sweet (mainly because he hates attention and I think he froze, forgetting anything he planned to say to me). Of course, the ring he was holding was the ring I had fallen in love with at Jordan Clines – he'd somehow bought it without me having any idea! He asked me to marry him and I said yes! I was also so excited to look down at my finger and see that beautiful vintage ring and be more sure than ever that this was the man I wanted to spend the rest of my life with.

One of my favorite parts of this night I didn't even realize until watching the video later.

Logan (our 5-year-old ring bearer, who takes his job very seriously) rushed to stand in the middle of us when he realized what was happening. He thought that it was his job to give me the ring and was pretty upset that no one prepared him for this moment.

THE ART

story by Mariah Kline

of Invitations Invitations are a small but crucial part of the wedding planning process – you want to invite guests in the traditional manner without sacrificing individuality. To learn more about this fun but complex process, we spoke with Meredith Metzmeier, owner of Cartwheels Paper and Gifts.

When to Order

How to Choose

What’s Trending Right Now

Keep in mind that it can take several weeks or months for invitations and save the dates to arrive. Metzmeier recommends sending out save the dates four to six months before the wedding and seven to 10 months for destination or holiday weddings. Since invitations can take three to four weeks to prepare, couples should place their order at least 12 weeks before the big day, keeping in mind that invitations should be mailed six to eight weeks before the wedding.

As for creating unique invitations that will fit your wedding, there are multiple factors to consider. The basic elements of style, color and font are important, but the quality of the stationery and how it will coordinate with the wedding’s theme or color scheme is equally paramount.

“The latest trend in save the dates is including photos of the couple,” reveals Metzmeier. “They can be enclosed in the envelope, sent postcard style or even printed on magnets.”

“Fine quality paper is still on trend and can be expected to continue to be the standard for invitations, whether formal or more casual,” explains Metzmeier. “Papers are no longer just white or ecru.”

For invitations, Metzmeier says bold and whimsical fonts are used more frequently than basic ones. Many couples are opting for multiple fonts, using large letters for the names while the remaining text is in block. Monograms continue to be very popular as well, particularly for Southern couples. Creating a signature monogram allows that theme to be used in other areas of the ceremony, such as for cake decorations or napkins.

Whether your wedding is casual, formal or

“If I Only Knew…”

6 Tips & Tricks from Past Brides

W

Whether we’ve tied the knot or not yet, we all know to expect an unparalleled level of chaos when planning a wedding. There’s so much to think about from the cake to the guest list to the centerpieces, and while we do all we can to ensure we get everything checked off the list, there’s always the possibility we missed something. Fortunately for the brides-to-be, The Voice-Tribune caught up with some recent brides to get the scoop on what they learned from their wedding and what they wish they’d known beforehand.

Hire a Coordinator for the Big Day Whether or not you’re choosing to use an actual wedding planner throughout your preparation process, hiring a coordinator for the day-of is an absolute must. Don’t take the burden of signing invoices and checks and making sure everyone and everything is in the right place at the right time upon yourself, and don’t put it on a family member. This is your time to celebrate! Have a professional deal with the logistics so you can focus on simply enjoying your time.

Don’t take on too many DIY projects The temptation is always there to save money on florals and place cards by doing them yourself. While a few DIY projects can certainly add to the personality and nuance of a wedding, taking on too many projects of your own can easily backfire. There will so much to do in the days leading up to the wedding, the last thing you’ll want is your home turned into a crafts workshop.

2

Fill Your Tables

Ask about preferred caterers

Though you’ll inevitably give plenty of thought to catering, centerpieces and florals, make sure to also consider table decoration. Tables, especially large tables that seat 10, can easily look empty and sparse if proper care isn’t taken to fill them.

Consider rustic garlands or more elaborate centerpieces that take up more area to really have your tables make a special impact.

Louisville is lucky to have so many exquisite venues in which you may say your vows, but keep in mind that several of those come with exclusive catering companies. While many of these are absolutely to-diefor, if you already have a menu in mind or a caterer you’d like to use, be sure to ask the venue before making a deposit you can’t get back.

3

Don’t Listen to Everyone

Make a Spreadsheet

With the announcement of your wedding will come several brides past and brides-to-be texting and calling you telling you exactly what to do and how do it. While much of that input will certainly be appreciated and valuable, stay focused on your vision. Do your wedding the way you want because ultimately, it’s your day. And though others are only trying to help, you and your partner are the ones who get to have the final say.

Embrace it and make your choices together to create a day that’s truly unforgettable. VT

With so many finances to keep track of, sending emails back and forth between you and your betrothed as well as both sets of parents can get tiresome – not to mention confusing. Consider creating a live spreadsheet that you can constantly update in Google Drive. Share it with those who should stay in the loop and everyone will always have the most up-to-date information.

business briefs TAXI 7 CELEBRATES ONE YEAR ANNIVERSARY

Taxi 7, Kentucky’s first all-new hybrid taxi cab service is proud to celebrate its first year of operations in Louisville, Kentucky.

The company “hit the road” last summer with an initial fleet of 50 Ford C-Max vehicles. Due to the immense demand for modern taxi cab service in the community, Taxi 7 now boasts a fleet of 100 taxi cabs that also includes Ford Fusion cars and Toyota Sienna vans. Taxi 7 purposely used cars by Ford Motor Company in its fleet in order to support one of Louisville’s biggest employers.

Taxi 7 entered the marketplace with a variety of modern features never before seen in Louisville’s taxi cab market. This new technology includes a smartphone app allowing customers to order, track and pay for a cab; modalities to call, text or use the web to book a cab; and cameras and rear credit card machines installed in every vehicle.

Now or Never for James Quick

“

e’s the best to ever do it here. No question.”

Those were the words on October 2012 of a longtime coach/observer of the Trinity High School football program. A man who had seen the likes of Jeff and Brian Brohm, Dean May and Carwell Gardner don the green and white for the Shamrocks. A man who believed that James Quick was better than all of them.

Instead, the hometown high school star who was supposed to become the hometown college All-American is headed into his senior season hoping to shed the stigma of being something of an underachiever.

talented group of sophomores and freshmen at the position.

If there’s hope for a breakout season for Quick in 2016, it might be based on the fact that the quarterback he’s seemed to have the best relationship with at Louisville will be the one taking almost every snap. Quick caught five touchdown passes last season, and all five were thrown to him by then-true freshman Lamar Jackson.

Quick’s three most productive games – against Florida State, Kentucky and Texas A&M – all came when Jackson was the primary signal caller.

“Sometimes you’ve just got to put that out of your mind and let it go because they’re not the ones out MIKE there catching balls,” Quick told RUTHERFORD 93.9 The Ville’s Drew Deener last @cardchronicle summer. “It’s just one of those things you don’t listen to too much. All you “What Lamar did in the bowl game just builds can do is listen to what your coaches tell you and all of our confidence,” Quick said last month. get coached up every day.”

“That game made all of us hungry to get back on After somewhat disappointing returns in years the field for spring ball and now for camp. Everybody’s just going to be more confident coming About a month after that night, Quick became one through three, Quick now heads into his back.” final collegiate season somewhere between relithe first player in Kentucky high school football able veteran and forgotten man.

A few weeks later, he ed to hold down a starting spot, but the buzz role he was cast in years ago, it’s now or never was named the Most Valuable Player of the pres- this summer has focused more on fellow senior for James Quick, and maybe he finally has the tigious U.S. Army All-American Game. On that Jamari Staples – who led the Cardinals in almost right quarterback relationship to make now hapsame day, the hometown star announced that he every receiving category last season – and UofL’s pen. VT would be playing his college football at Louisville, instantly becoming the highest-rated offensive recruit to ever sign with the Cardinals.

This is all to say that expectations were understandably high when James Quick arrived on UofL’s campus in the summer of 2013. Even with a loaded Cardinal wide receiving corps that already included guys like DeVante Parker, Damian Copeland and Eli Rogers, the five-star freshman was expected to make an immediate impact before becoming one of the top targets in all of college football as a sophomore and junior.

Player blueprints are never an exact science, and Quick is a prime example.

Quick’s freshman season was more notable for the passes he didn’t catch than the few – six, to be exact – that he did, and his lone touchdown came when he returned a fumbled punt for a score against Central Florida. His sophomore campaign got off to a rocky start before he ever ran a route, as he and former teammate (and now former Kentucky Wildcat) Jason Hatcher were cited for marijuana possession in June 2014.

It then continued through a season in which he posted respectable, but not sparkling, statistics.

Still, the breakout season predictions continued heading into 2015, when Quick was supposed to be the focal point of an unproven wide receiving corps attempting to make Louisville fans forget about the loss of Parker. Had he been a former two-star recruit from Wyoming, Quick’s 39 catches for 624 yards and five touchdowns last season would have been celebrated appropriately.

know you can do it, here’s what you need to do, I’ll be there for you – but only you can make it happen.

Success or failure, it’s entirely up to you.”

That combination of teaching skills and tough love is compelling. I get the idea that athletes at this level respond to toughness and interpret any sense of humanity as weakness. And if they sense weakness, they’ll slip into bad habits.

There’s a reason the most successful coaches, college or pro – Don Shula, Nick Saban, Gregg Popovich, Pat Riley – are unremitting taskmasters.

They may have different styles – Rick Pitino rants, Urban Meyer glares, Vince Lombardi did both – but they’re all putting the fear of God into their young athletes.

John Wooden had entirely his own style. He never swore, rarely raised his voice, was more deacon than drill sergeant. But testimony from his most accomplished acolytes, difficult personalities like Kareem Abdul-Jabbar and Bill Walton, suggests a no-nonsense leader that these young athletes did not want to disappoint.

I’m not sure we’ve seen that stature yet in Stoops.

Maybe part of it only comes with success. I lived in New Jersey when Chuck Daly came from the NBA champion Pistons to coach the Nets in 1992. This was a man in his 60s, known for a dress style out of the Eisenhower administration, coming to deal with prickly modern types like Derrick Coleman and Kenny Anderson.

How could Daly possibly hope to succeed in a program where so many had failed? Coleman said it best: “The rings, man, the rings!”

Stoops doesn’t yet have the rings. But maybe now he has the coaches who’ll get him the rings. VT V O I C E -T R I B U N E . C O M • A U G U S T 4 , 2 0 1 6

Time Out With Bobby Petrino Bobby Petrino is set to begin his third season in his second stint at UofL. Sophomore quarterback Lamar Jackson is coming off of an electrifying performance in the Music City Bowl, rushing and passing for over 200 yards. Petrino is 58-18 in six seasons as the Cards head coach, trailing only Frank Camp (118-95-2) on the all-time wins list. UofL kicks off the 2016 season on Thursday, September 1, hosting Charlotte at 7 p.m.

Last year at this time, there was no depth chart, you didn’t know who your quarterback was going to be and then Lamar comes in and he plays a little bit. And then plays more and more. When did you really see when he got into practice that you had something special in him?

We got the ability to play action pass and throw the ball down the field and receivers who can run and get it. You’re a much more explosive team when you can throw the ball deep down the field.

How much better did he get as a quarterback as the season went on?

He was able to improve a lot and particularly in between the end of the season and the bowl game. It seemed like the game slowed down and he didn’t press as much. He let things come to him and made better decisions, and ultimately, as a quarterback, you have to make good decisions.

Can he be an accurate passer?

Oh, he is an accurate passer. Yeah, he’s proved that over spring ball, throughout the offseason, that he gets his feet in the right position. He’s gonna be on time, and he’s able to put the ball where he wants to. We’ve just got to give them opportunities and get the guys around him to do their job so he plays well.

What can he allow you to do with an offense that maybe you haven’t been able to do?

We’re about to see. You know, obviously in the last couple games of the year, he did a great job of executing the zone read offense and tucking the ball and making plays with A U G U S T 4 , 2 0 1 6 • V O I C E -T R I B U N E . C O M

What does it say about him, the way he has handled everything he’s been through at UofL? He’s just an unbelievable young man. In this day and age, it’s rare. Reggie is a true team player. He cares about the guys on our team.

Is it fair to say that you have less questions about the offensive line than you did the last two seasons?

Yeah, a little bit because there were a few guys that we hadn’t even seen practice last year.

It’s a group that has experience. They’re stronger. They’re faster. I’m looking forward to seeing how we can put it all together and get the consistency that you need in running the ball and protecting the quarterback. VT

I think so. I’m surprised it wasn’t already up and going. Just the exposure and the recruiting helps.

Where do you stand on the possibility of playing nine league games?

Right now, we’re playing eight, and I think it’s a good thing because its balanced on how many games you have on the road and how many games you’ve got at home. Once you change to that nine, you wouldn’t want a five-home-game or four-home-game schedule affect who the ultimate champion is.

Reggie Bonnafon is now listed as a starting wide receiver. Is he a guy you feel like you just need to get on the field?

I brought Lonnie Galloway in here as our co-offensive coordinator and wide receiver coach, and from day one, he was campaigning to get Reggie full-time. After a couple weeks in spring ball, we decided to do that. It allows him to really develop the skills on a daily basis. He’s probably 10 pounds lighter right now than he was last year at this time. So he’ll have the ability to run down the field more and be in better condition.

He says he has worked on the mental aspect of the game to RANDY enable him to see the field better.

WHETSTONE JR. “I’ve watched a lot of film with a lot of position coaches,” he says.

“I let people critique what I need to work on “With both of them, we are trying to hone and what I am getting better at. I need to use in on the specific skill set of the positions they my hands more on the field and just grow as a play,” describes Coach Johnson at Waggener High School. “Both of them have tremen- football player in general.” dous physical attributes given the advantage in This summer, Rice attended camps at Alahigh school, but when they get to college, that bama, Duke, Penn State and Ohio State and is going to even up a little bit. So we are try- was glad to build a rapport with coaches ing to prepare them in these next two years for there. As he sits and contemplates in front of college so that they will be at a level that they stacks of recruitment letters, he hasn’t decidalready need to be at.” ed whether he wants to stay in Kentucky or Brents, ranked No. 14 in the nation at go out of state. his position by 247sports.com, is a 5-foot9, 178-pound physical and aggressive cornerback and has been compared to Darrelle Revis, cornerback for the New York Jets.

Coach Johnson says he is “the best man-toman cover I have ever seen at the high school level.” With a ferocious style of play, he has the ability to shut down just about any wide receiver in a game.

“There are perks in both of those, and then there are some things that go into it that I wouldn’t say are losses, but are things you can’t dictate,” he muses.

Coach Johnson speaks highly of the vocal leadership that Rice exhibits more in his actions and work ethic: “Tahj has great leadership abilities. When you have such a large man telling you what to do, you tend to listen to them a little more. Some of the littler guys who have leadership skills don’t quite lead as he does just because of the physical presence he has. He commands excellence on the field, in the classroom, in the locker room – that is just what he does.”

It can become very common for star players to become lackadaisical in improving their skill set when a major Division I program is an obvious future destination. But Coach Johnson gives special attention to these two players – not settling for complacency but keeping them hungry for more.

“I’ve said it my entire coaching career – you’ve got to coach your best players harder than the lesser players,” he affirms. “I evaluate a lot of film with them and point out what they’re doing wrong and what they’re doing right. So I’m quick to congratulate them and I want to celebrate their successes, but I am also the first person to point out what they are not doing right and what our next step is to improve them.” VT

Last season, he had 40 tackles and two interceptions – both returned for touchdowns.

But Brents has worked harder in zone coverages, knowing he must improve in that area as he prepares for college.

“I’ve sat down with coaches and have been studying a lot of film to get better in my craft,” Brents attests. “I work out every day. Tackling drills, getting stronger, speed and agility – everything I need to do to be a better player.”

Interest has been expressed from Florida, Alabama, Penn State and Virginia Tech to name a few, but Brents maintains he doesn’t have a favorite as to which school has his most attention. “I am just trying to get an offer from every college, the top Division I colleges – those schools who have an interest in me.”

While college letters continue to pile up in his locker room mailbox, he says he will stay focused to perform well in each game.

A Swiss Celebration

he Louisville Swiss descendants had a wonderful get-together celebration last week at the German-American Club on Lincoln Avenue. Musical entertainment was provided by local Swiss favorite, Gil Kaelin. Hall’s provided a lavish picnic menu for the multi-generational crowd.

I digress – back to the Swiss Celebration. It was a wonderful evening. Lifelong childhood friend and neighbor Betty Kaelin went with us. We are distant cousins; who knew! Gil Kaelin provided the musical entertainment.

Show house hours are Monday, Wednesday, Friday and Saturday 10 a.m.-5 p.m.; Tuesday and Thursday, 10 a.m.-7 p.m.; and Sunday noon-5 p.m. The Preview Gala will take place on Thursday, September 8 from 5:30 to 8 p.m. and will be sponsored by Commonwealth Bank & Trust Co. Tickets to the gala will be available online at bellarmine.edu/womenscouncil and will cost $75.

Einsiedeln is a quaint, charming village high in the Alps above Lucerne in an area of the Sihlsee. It is famous for its monastery and beautiful cathedral known for its “Black Madonna.” The many Kaelin, Birchler, Ulrich, Guetig, Zehnder and Schoenbaechler families in Louisville are descendants of the Swiss men who immigrated to Louisville in the late 1800s. They sailed to New Orleans, then up-river to the Falls of the Ohio to go overland to the monastery in Indiana.

Some didn’t make it to the monastery. I think they discovered “women” on the voyage and had a change of mind! My great-great-grandfather set-

Guests from Einsiedeln, Switzerland were visiting here to give a progress report on the Einsiedeln Elsewhere project. They included Susann Bosshard-Kaelin and Father Lukas Helg from the Einsiedeln Monastery.

tled in Louisville and built two flour mills and a house on Broadway. He married and had only a daughter and no son to inherit the mills. One mill blew up when the night watchman, a fellow Swiss, fell asleep and didn’t keep an eye on the boiler gages! The other mill was eventually sold to the Ballard family and became the Ballard Mill.

It was a wonderful evening finding cousins you never knew you had and sharing stories of the past that binds you together.

BELLARMINE SHOW HOUSE The Bellarmine University Women’s Council 42nd Designers’ Show House will be on display September 10-25 at 2320 Village Drive. It was designed by the noted architect Stratton Hammon and built in 1925 for Samuel Castleman Mengel, owner of the Mengel Box Company.

The current owner is Nick Kues, who bought the house from the estate of the late Barbara Cox, a valued member of the Bellarmine University Women’s Council, which raises scholarship funds

HOLY SPIRIT Last Sunday, the Church of the Holy Spirit on Lexington Road installed and blessed an oil painting, “Lamentation Over the Dead Christ with Saints of Christ,” by Joy O’Bryan after Sandro Botticelli (1490). Following the installation of the painting, a reception was held at the church on Lexington Road.

Joy is a native of Louisville, graduate of the University of Louisville, wife of George and resident on Dunvegan Road. She has always had a creative streak. In their former home on Alta Vista, Joy hung a French horn with a light bulb in it over the desk in the library of her husband, George! I lusted after it. VT PHOTOS COURTESY OF CARLA SUE BROECKER

Grandma Is Demanding Hostess During Family’s Annual Visits DEAR ABBY: We visit my grandmother out of state once a year. After our visits, I usually leave feeling defeated. A few reasons why:

my household.

In the past, I didn’t live alone and I didn’t mind participating in surveys.

But calling on my landline makes me worry that person has access to my physical address. And being asked by some stranger for information like my age, the number of people in my household and whether I have guns in the house, etc. makes me feel very vulnerable.

She leaves multiple notes around “reminding” us to clean up after ourselves. There’s a note in the shower Dear Abby that says, “Please wipe down shower walls after use.” She asks me to change JEANNE the sheets or launder our towels before PHILLIPS I leave. Although she has decorative paper hand towels in the bathrooms, she asks us I told the caller I was not interested in particinot to use them because they are “too expensive.” pating and wouldn’t give a reason why. There has She complains about my son’s handprints on her got to be a better way to conduct surveys. Please windows (he’s 2).

I don’t understand. Is this normal grandand hang up. mother behavior, or does she take it too far?

Must we continue spending big bucks to go out there every year, or can we just send pictures and call often? – GRANDDAUGHTER IN A QUANDARY

DEAR GRANDDAUGHTER: If these annual visits are a “command performance,” I can see why you might resent them. However, it’s not unheard of for a hostess to leave a note asking that the shower be wiped down or that the sheets and towels be laundered before a guest leaves – particularly if the guests are family members. A gracious guest wouldn’t mind doing those things and would ask how her hostess wanted it handled before she left.

Rather than stew when she complained about your 2-year-old’s handprints on her windows, the appropriate response would have been: “You know, you’re right. I’ll get the Windex!” And when she made a negative comment about someone, you should have found something nice to say about the person in response.

If these visits cause financial hardship, visit your grandmother every OTHER year, or consider inviting her to visit you, but don’t cut her off completely. After all, she’s family, and not all family members are “perfect.”

Everything happened so fast. I’m now having to put the career I worked very hard for on hold.

SPOTLIGHT

Tuxes & Tails Gala

On August 13, the Kentucky Humane Society will host the Tuxes & Tails Gala, it’s largest annual fundraiser, at the Marriott East. Guests will be able to interact with some of the animals who have benefited from KHS services while enjoying being able to support the organization’s future endeavors. To get all the details on the event, we caught up with Kentucky Humane Society Development Director Alisa Gray.

What is the Tuxes & Tails Gala?

Tuxes & Tails Gala is the Kentucky Humane Society’s biggest annual fundraiser with proceeds benefiting homeless animals. Once a year, we dress up and get together to celebrate the lives of the cats, dogs and horses who were saved by KHS in the last year and look forward to those who will be saved in the year ahead because of supporters at Tuxes & Tails. The gala will be held 6-11 p.m. on Saturday, August 13 at the Marriott East.

What can participants expect at the event?

The theme of this year’s Tuxes & Tails, with Signature Sponsors Delta Dental and Brown-Forman, is Hollywoof and the Cat’s Meow. Before dinner, guests can cuddle with adoptable dogs and cats and meet Abner, an

orphaned Thoroughbred foal who was saved

by KHS. The gala includes silent and premier auctions, hors d’oeuvres, a Brown-Forman signature drink called the Pink Kitten, a photo booth, Kentucky-inspired dinner, a spirited live auction and games. The after-dinner dance party features music by From Paris.

est pet adoption agency and no-kill animal shelter, every day we see the impact that our supporters have on our animals. Thanks to the funds raised at Tuxes & Tails Gala, we are able to provide rehabilitation and find homes for over 6,000 of Kentucky’s abandoned, abused and neglected dogs, cats and horses.

Why is the event important for the community?

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

Proceeds from the gala support the Kentucky Humane Society’s lifesaving mission of pet adoption, spay/neuter and education.

Guests are also invited to contribute to a special fund that provides medical and behavioral rehabilitation to our most fragile pets – helping them become healthy, happy companion animals ready for adoption.

Each year, we add new surprises to Tuxes & Tails. For example, this year guests will be greeted by Abner, the orphaned foal. Our guests love meeting some of the animals that their support has helped us save, mingling with other animal lovers and bidding on our many animal-related and premier auction items.

What difference have you seen this event make in the lives of its beneficiaries?

Fit as a Belle

Six months post-wedding, Joy was pregnant with her first child, Carolina, and throughout her term, gained 51 pounds. “It was a conflicting time for me because I was so overjoyed to be a mother but was faced with depression over not recognizing my body anymore,” Joy shares. Showers were taken in the dark to avoid any chance of seeing herself in a mirror. To get back into shape, Joy resorted to her pre-wedding routine of running, spin classes, teaching and taking group fitness classes, and even buying into the Insanity® fitness series. “Even with all that training, I still wasn’t able to achieve the results I desired, and now I know the missing piece was nutrition.”

With her second pregnancy, Joy decided to be proactive and sought out Beachbody® based on

approach and remember even telling friends that I could never replace a meal with a shake because I like to eat my food,” recalls Joy. However, as the weight continued to fall off and people took notice, Joy knew this was a lifestyle she could easily embrace. Now, Joy is all in as a Beachbody coach herself, leading a team she calls Fit as a Belle and inspiring others to take their life back through fitness and nutrition.

Of the common pitfalls facing brides-to-be and others with a specific weight loss goal, Joy warns, “Losing weight is 80 percent about nutrition and also understanding that you have to fuel your body properly to build muscle and maintain that weight loss in a healthy way.” She also says the biggest barrier for most people is committing to meal prep. “Sundays for me used to be all about making Southern comfort food. I would prepare a spread

of appetizers, a huge meal and desserts and we would indulge all day. Now it’s about meal prep and properly preparing for the week ahead.”

“Don’t resort to a quick fix,” she advises brides.

“The time to start is now to incorporate a habit that you don’t dread.” VT To learn more about Joy’s approach to health, diet and fitness, visit joyfowfitness.com.

Kaleo, Lucius and Brett Dennen. I showed up for the middle act Lucius, but, being a big fan, I got there pretty early to get a spot near the front. Consequently, I was there for all of Kaleo’s set, a band with whom I was totally unfamiliar. I’d never heard anything from them, but it was such a joy to discover new music that I don’t know I ever would have heard otherwise.

Then, of course, getting to see one of my favorite bands was such an amazing experience. With their sounds reverberating all the way to Jeffersonville and the lights of the Big Four Bridge in the background, I was absolutely awe-struck by how fortunate Louisville is to have Waterfront Wednesday. A gathering of all sorts of individuals together to appreciate live music in one of our city’s most beautiful spaces is truly a sight to behold and one I think only further speaks to Louisville’s commitment to cultivating its cultural fabric.

Sure, you can get live music in maybe a similar venue for maybe no admission charge in other cities, but why would you want anything but Louisville, where the quality of music is matched only by the friendly, festive and congenial community?

Falling into Fall Furnishings

idsummer is traditionally the time for sprucing up around the house, performing some thorough cleaning and preparing to bring in some autumnal colors and themes to shake things up. Kristi Coomes is the owner of Home Inspired, and she and her team know exactly what to do to help you accomplish this feat in your home.

“You can change your entry, your front door area. A lot of people will do that for fall with pumpkins and gourds and mums,” she says, relaying a simple yet effective way to bring in the new season.

Homes

Summer is a time for gardening and general fun in the sun, and as the temperature outside begins BEN to plummet, people begin to spend GIERHART more and more time inside. Coomes agrees with this observation and has long since noticed a trend in her client base: “A lot of people are outdoors in the summer, so when people start coming inside again, things need to be updated and changed. It’s a Since opening her original store location in busy time of year for us.

When it comes to design, Coomes and her team know that it can all be a little overwhelming. Making that transition to fall can be tricky for even the most ardent viewer of HGTV, but her method and philosophy on design should prove reassuring: “Usually when we’re doing a consultation with a client, we ask them what they like. That way, they can stay on top of what’s trending for a certain season without sacrificing their individual style.”

Sounds great, but what if the client doesn’t know what their style is? How does Coomes help those clients survive the fall into fall?

“We ask them their favorite colors,” Coomes replies simply. “We ask them if there is a piece of furniture that they really love and base the transition around that. With the addition of HGTV and all the different things people can see now, sometimes people can say, ‘Well, I have a farmhouse style. I like the show “Fixer Upper.”’ Once we get a feel for what they like, it becomes a cinch.”

“I think a lot people, when they think about interior design, they think that it’s going to be expensive,” says Coomes astutely. “They’re afraid that it’s something that they can’t afford.” As a matter of fact, Coomes is of the belief that employing an expert in the field will actually save money overall. “It doesn’t take a huge budget. If they just want to freshen up pillows on the sofa or start from the foundation and go all the way up, we can do that. There’s a huge gamut of what you can do in interior design.” VT V O I C E -T R I B U N E . C O M • A U G U S T 4 , 2 0 1 6

A ‘Cafe’ Worth Visiting

very time I enjoy a Woody Allen film and want to recommend it to others, I find myself stopping to rethink my stance on loving the art of an artist who may be guilty of a heinous crime. History has proved that many great thinkers, leaders, artists and athletes have been repulsive in their personal lives, but we still choose to focus on their great contributions, especially when time gives us distance from their wrongdoings.

berg serves as yet another fitting surrogate for the Allen character.

Film BENNETT DUCKWORTH

bennettduckworth.blogspot.com

The movie is about a Jewish family from The Bronx during the 1930s, but it mostly focuses on the youngest son (Eisenberg) going to Hollywood to visit his very successful movie mogul uncle, played with pompous intensity by Steve Carrell, in the hope of getting a feel for life in the movie business.

While there, he falls madly in love with his uncle’s secretary, played

I’ve always maintained strict objectivity regarding these issues. Nothing stops me from enjoying the energy of Mel Gibson’s acting or Roman Polanski’s direction, but recently I found myself taking all my Bill Cosby stand-up albums down to the basement. I guess the line is drawn somewhere.

In what must be a turning point of compromise for Allen, this is his first feature to be shot digitally, but through the absolutely stunning work of the great cinematographer Vittorio Storaro (“Apocalypse Now”) it may be among the best looking of Allen’s films.

The movie may have Allen’s humor, but it also reminds me of the way Scorsese nonchalantly portrays blue-collar families who have criminals among them while meditating on all the characteristics of American life from a bygone era.

The natural chemistry between Eisenberg and Stewart (who are sharing the screen for the third time) is another charming aspect of the film as they explore the glamor of old Hollywood together while bonding with desire for a life free of such phoniness.

The movie isn’t aiming for big laughs or heavy drama, but it has that pleasant atmosphere that can be found in most of this auteur’s films, many of which have a theatrical presentation quality that is lost on those who wait to see his work on home media. Seeing this film’s characters live through success and disappointment has the effect of a stage play with extravagant scenery and lighting.

At the moment, I continue to enjoy Woody Allen’s work, which has impressively been given to us yearly since before I was born. In his latest film, “Café Society,” Allen vents his regular frustrations by giving us another story about characters struggling to get any satisfaction out of life. As I, and many fans of his work can attest, this filmmaker’s gloomy content quite often comes across as warm and comforting. Maybe we need therapy.

The early 20th century continues to be Allen’s muse through old jazz recordings, period costumes and lavish locations. While he has been casting himself in his films fewer times every decade, he steps into this one by providing a third-person voice-over narration, while Jesse EisenA U G U S T 4 , 2 0 1 6 • V O I C E -T R I B U N E .

by Kristen Stewart, but is oblivious to an affair going on between the two. Meanwhile, the eldest son, played by Corey Stoll, is finding a high place as a New York club owner, which has only been achieved through his life as a murderous gangster.

It’s rather telling, through his work, that Allen’s soul is a tortured one, and I believe that all people should be held equally accountable for their crimes regardless of their status. Time will tell if another bittersweet gem of a film like “Café Society” will be remembered for its expression of melancholy in love and loss. VT

To create the complete packRoger Creel is the creator and choreographer of “Shakespeare in Dance,” one of two community-partner productions at this year’s Kentucky Shakespeare Festival. “I came up with the idea for a ballet that married period folk music and Shakespearean sonnets a year and a half ago,” attests Creel. “I called that preliminary version of the ballet ‘Sonnets in Blue.’” This incipient version of the ballet was performed at the Louisville Ballet’s Choreographers’ Showcase, and providence would have it that Kentucky Shakespeare Producing Artistic Director Matt Wallace would be in attendance.

After seeing “Sonnets in Blue” and being impressed with the idea, Wallace reached out to Louisville Ballet Producing and Artistic Director Robert Curran and invited the company to participate as a community partner with Kentucky Shakespeare. A year and a half later, that idea has grown into a full evening of dance on Central Park’s stage.

According to Creel, the first half of the evening consists of excerpts from the Louisville Ballet’s repertoire of Shakespeare ballets, mainly “Othello” and “Romeo and Juliet.” These nods to the Ballet’s past will feature the work of previous artistic directors in an attempt to honor the tradition of the Bard in dance and the rich history of ballet in Louisville.

“The second half is a 40-minute version of what was ‘Sonnets in Blue’ but is now called ‘William’s Folly,’” says Creel. Creel goes on further to say that of the 154 sonnets that Shakespeare wrote, 108 of them are written to someone only referred to as the Young Man and 28 of them are written to a mysterious figure known only as the Dark Lady. In order to make a cogent story, Creel wisely chose to narrow the scope of the sonnets to a specific 22 and focus on the leading characters PHOTO COURTESY OF LOUISVILLE BALLET

Sonnets in Dance case ‘Swan Lake,’ ‘The Nutcracker’ and ‘Sleeping Beauty’ is because it’s such a testament to the talent and legacy in the area,” says Curran. “We are celebrating three different generations of leadership and 65 years. It’s fantastic to acknowledge what has already been accomplished for this arts community and what we can still achieve.”

Simply put, there’s no better way to kick off the new season of the Louisville Ballet than by attending the completely free performance of “Shakespeare in Dance” at Central Park.

age of “Shakespeare in Dance,” Creel collaborated with local bluegrass musician Scott Moore.

“He is part of a bluegrass band called 23 Strings, and he also has a bluegrass duo with local cellist Charlie Patton. He wanted to make music for the ballet, so I came to him with a plot and some ideas of what I wanted the music to sound like,” says Creel. Together, they arrived at musical motifs to identify all of the characters that would afford the ballet a local but still authentic sound and feature the sterling work of Creel and dancers Tony Milder and Megan Massie.

“Shakespearean sonnets are seen as difficult to understand and complicated,” admits Creel.

“So one of my goals with this ballet was to build a structure of dance, music and narrative around the sonnets so that each sonnet makes more sense. I want those who watch to feel something so that the language can make sense and the audience can begin to experience the power of poetry. It’s like a smack in the face. When done well and understood, it wakes us up. It shows that other people have felt as deeply as we have.”

In fact, that is the aim of the entire upcoming season of the Louisville Ballet: the enduring power and legacy of humanity.

pets of the week Baby is a handsome 6-year-old domestic shorthair mix with a gorgeous jet black coat and beautiful emerald eyes! He is a big beautiful boy who really enjoys being petted.

He also loves cheek rubs. Baby takes a little time to warm up to you, but once he knows and trusts you, he is a love machine. Because he is shy, we’re not sure how well he’d do with young children who didn’t know to be patient with him. If you have a quiet and calm household and are looking for a quiet companion, then come on into the Kentucky Humane Society and take a look at Baby! He is up to date on vaccinations, microchipped and neutered. You can meet Baby at our adoption center in the Dixie Feeders Supply, 10948 Dixie Highway.

Gage is a 2-year-old Labrador retriever/ American Blue Heeler mix whose owner could no longer care for him. Now he’s at the Kentucky Humane Society looking for his forever home. He loves to play fetch and ride in a car. Sometimes when Gage plays, he can get a little over-excited, but just tell him to stop and he’ll calm down.

Gage hasn’t had much training, but he would love an owner who took the time to teach him how to be the best dog he possibly can. He is neutered, micro-chipped and up to date on vaccinations. Come see him at our Main Campus, 241 Steedly Drive in Louisville.
