Breast Cancer Awareness Month – most of us are more painfully aware of this indiscriminate disease than we ever wished to be. However, the various organizations behind the campaign advocating for prevention, early detection and research make this cause as relevant today as it was upon its founding in 1985.

Since that date, multiple agendas have surfaced under the heading, sustained by annual fundraising largesse associated with successful local events like Colors of Courage (October 7), Pink Prom (October 21) and Pink Tie Ball (October 22). Throughout the month of October, The Voice-Tribune will explore and pay tribute to a cross section of these organizations, some with varying approaches to the same goal. For every group urging us to “Think Pink,” there is an opposing group asking us to “Think Before You Pink.” It begs the question, “Has the cause-related marketing and iconic color associated with this disease become overly commercialized?”

Margaret Welch, director of the Color Association of the United States has said that, “The profile on pink is playful and life-affirming. We have studies to its calming effect and its lessening of stress. Pink is a shade known to be health-giving.” Pink, in some increasingly popular opinions, represents everything that cancer is not. Here in the United States, 40,000 women die from breast cancer annually. For them, the color and the ribbon are merely a distraction to the cure that could save their lives. For others, there is still much value to the awareness that is established by the brand, possibly reminding women to get the mammogram that saves their life.

This summer, I was brought to my knees with the news that my sisterin-law (36) and mother of two children under the age of 2 had been Tonya Abeln diagnosed with breast cancer, adding her to the long list of important people in my life valiantly fighting this disease. The revelation made me instantly grateful for the enthusiastic community organizers, like those featured in this issue, who are dedicated to raising funds for research, and the skilled scientists, like those at the James Graham Brown Cancer Center, who are moving us closer to a cure.

This October, I’m far less concerned with the color of this cause and more than ever dedicated to discovering ways I can best support those whom I love that are fighting this unprovoked attack on their bodies. Perhaps it’s providing encouraging words on treatment days. Maybe it’s by expressing my solidarity by donning my wackiest pink accessories and walking a few miles with them. Or it could be by attending some of the many worthy events that will be featured on our calendar and within our pages this month. Regardless of on what side of the ribbon you stand, let’s unite this October in support of our fighters, survivors and those who must find a way to live a life over cancer driven by purpose and hope.

On October 21, two beloved philanthropic events aimed at ending breast cancer will be joining forces to make a greater impact than ever. Pink Prom and Pinktober have united their formerly individual efforts to make more of a difference together than was ever possible on their own. It’s what can best be described as a pink partnership.

Karen Davis was doing some last-minute Christmas shopping with her husband in 2014 when she got a call from her doctor telling her she had breast cancer.

KentuckyOne Health. Because she struggles with pulmonary issues, her lumpectomy had to wait until August 2015.

“I do believe God led me to the James Graham Brown Cancer Center,” she says. “My experience there was just wonderful from beginning to end. Every contact that I had, from the receptionists to scheduling people to nurses, every single contact was positive.

[Oncologist] Dr. [Dharamvir] Jain wanted to make sure that all the ducks were in order, that everything was a go to have the surgery and whether or not my pulmonary issues could support that, and they just made me feel confident.”

“I was scared. I was scared, scared, scared, scared,” she says. “I just had to come apart right there in the parking lot.”

Davis, 55, battled breast cancer for all of 2015 and won, but the conflict was arduous.

She had surgery, chemotherapy and radiation, and she was hospitalized several times for pneumonia.

Davis fought her battle at the James Graham Brown Cancer Center, a division of

MERGING TO HELP LOCAL WOMEN Two local breast cancer fundraisers have come together this year to benefit the Brown Cancer Center’s early detection efforts. Eventris’ Pink Prom is merging with 102.3 The Max’s Pinktober to form one spectacular event.

All money raised by ticket sales will go to the Brown Cancer Center.

This will be the fifth year for Pink Prom, an event that local event planner and Eventris founder Joey Wagner and his business partner Jason Brown started. Wagner says Brown came to him several years ago and suggested they recreate a prom.

PINKTOBER + PINK PROM BREAKOUT

When: 8 p.m. - 2 a.m. October 21 Where: The Gillespie, 421 W. Market St. Cost: $45 per person/$80 per couple, cash bar Dress: Prom attire, dressy, no jeans Sponsors: KentuckyOne Health, Tito’s Vodka, Maker’s Mark, Bud Light, Falls City Tickets: eventbrite.com More information: pinkprom.com, themaxfm.com

“We put our heads together,” Wagner describes. “I was like, ‘How cool would it be to have it be a charity event and tie breast cancer in and call it the Pink Prom?’ Both of us came together with his ideas and my ideas – we just thought that it would be a really cool event.

And now it’s turned into one of the best young professional events of the year.”

Wagner says the event features the whole prom experience. People wear old prom dresses and tuxedos, some arrive in limos and even have corsages. But it’s not just for young people any more. The demographic has changed a bit to include all ages 21 and older.

Meanwhile, for four years, 102.3 The Max has hosted its annual Pinktober event, featuring national touring acts such as Rachel Platten, Andy Grammer, American Authors and more.

This year, two acts – Simple Plan and A Great Big World – will perform.

“We are very excited about it,” emphasizes Sarah Jordan, The Max’s program director.

“Simple Plan is a band that a lot of our listeners have grown up listening to, and it just makes perfect sense that it would be one of those bands that would be singing at your prom.”

The bands will play acoustic sets and will be bookended by DJ K-Dogg and DJ Ace. The two companies realized that their events were scheduled for the same night, so they decided to merge to create a bigger event to raise money for a local cause.

“We really think it’s going to bring more awareness and raise money and really be overall a great time,” Jordan says. “This is a way to re-brand the event to bring something new, something different, something everyone is talking about, everyone’s excited about, making it one of the ‘it’ events of October.”

A KING AND QUEEN, OF COURSE This year, the event will have a prom court, which will feature five women and five men with close connections to breast

cancer. Nomination is going on now online, and the court will be announced October 3.

Of the 10, a king and queen will be chosen and crowned at the event. The courtiers who raise the most money for the cause will get the crown.

The court members can be survivors of breast cancer, those who have lost loved ones to breast cancer or those who have raised money or awareness for the disease. The key is that they have a significant impact on the cause, Wagner relates.

In the past, both events have given to various breast cancer charities, but this year, they decided to keep it local. Because KentuckyOne became the presenting sponsor of the event, the two decided that the money should benefit the Brown Cancer Center.

The Brown Cancer Center will use the funds to help with early detection and screening.

“We have a lot of exciting things happening around breast cancer, awareness and screenings,” says Leslie Smart, division vice president of development for the Jewish Hospital

and St. Mary’s Foundation. The Foundation is the philanthropic arm that supports all the KentuckyOne facilities throughout the Louisville market and beyond. “Last year, our team worked very closely with former Kentucky First Lady Jane Beshear and rolled out a new cancer screening van.

It conducts breast cancer screenings and mammography but also screenings for nine different types of cancers. Proceeds from this event specifically are going to support those efforts.”

The Foundation has its own events throughout the year to raise funds, but Smart says for an outside entity to want to host, plan and raise such a large amount of money for the Foundation is incredible.

“Sometimes it’s difficult to have enough staff to manage additional events,” she says. “To be a third-party event for us and for them to raise as much money that they’re going to raise for us – that’s huge.”

The Foundation and the Brown Cancer Center are grateful, she adds.

“I can’t thank them enough for their vision, enthusiasm and the energy they have and the volunteer time they’re putting toward this event,” Smart enthuses.

“They’re just a powerful group of community ambassadors that want to make a difference, and we’re immensely grateful.”

THE IMPORTANCE OF OUTREACH Before she retired, Davis worked in social services, helping underserved communities get those same screenings, so she knows the value of outreach.

“A lot of women are still scared, whether we’re talking immigrant communities or African-American women, there is still that fear,” she says. “Routine visits may not be on the top of their to-do lists. Where I’ve worked, we’ve prepared women for them because even though those mobile units came, sometimes there was still that fear of going through it. I was often a support person, trying to say, ‘It’s better to know than not know.’”

annually with its mobile mammography unit, Smart says. “What we do know is how absolutely critical it is to be screened early and often. And if we can catch breast cancer early, the prognosis is so positive. But it’s screening, and that’s what really makes the difference.”

FACING THE DISEASE WITH HOPE Davis was fortunate that her cancer was caught while only in Stage II (spread to only nearby tissues), but it doesn’t make the diagnosis any less terrifying.

“It’s one thing to be general and know that you’re not going to live forever and have those thoughts when you’re well,” she says.

“For me, to be questioning whether I would be here in a year … everything became large – the smile of my grandchild – everything became large and weighty.”

She never lost confidence in the process: “Every single step, I felt like I had hope.

Here was no reason for despair. … It felt like I wasn’t necessarily going for medical treatment; I was just going to go do this thing, and these were people that I knew and I liked. That was nice.”

SIMPLE PLAN

A pop-punk band from Montreal, Quebec, Simple Plan has become an international sensation with five albums and several hit songs. Billboard described their sound as “a spunky, energetic punk sound, textured like Cheap Trick but raw like Pennywise.” The band is known for hits such as “Crazy” and “Welcome to My Life.”

They released their most recent album “Taking One for the Team,” in February, after the release of the funky single “I Don’t Wanna Go to Bed,” featuring Nelly. It debuted at No. 4 on the Canadian Albums Chart.

Having an enthusiastic doctor helped in her recovery and optimism.

“Dr. Jain was my coordinating doctor. The way he explains things – he’s so passionate, and you can tell he loves teaching so he just lights up!” she says. “If you have to have this experience that’s traumatizing enough, to have someone who is excited about the healing process – I couldn’t get in that space for too long of feeling sorry for myself. He gave me hope. The whole team gave me hope.”

Now that she’s been cancer-free for more than nine months, she has advice to give anyone who gets such a frightening diagnosis: “To know what your faith is, stand on it and draw that circle around you that is supportive. When I say that, I mean your immediate circle of your friends and family, however it may be. I even had girlfriends that I don’t see regularly that I’m keeping in contact with on Facebook or social media who were all a part of that daily prayer circle for me, and I leaned on it very heavily.”

She trimmed her activities down to only those she really needed.

“I cut out a lot of things that I just felt were not important,” she says. “And between structuring my day around my faith and my little circle, for a whole year, that’s what I did.

That’s what I stood on. Those are the things I would recommend.” VT

A GREAT BIG WORLD 11

Ian Axel and Chad King met while studying music at New York University and formed the melodic indie-pop dup A Great Big World. Their first full-length album, “Is There Anybody Out There,” debuted in 2014, and “When The Morning Comes,” in 2015.

They’ve collaborated with Ingrid Michaelson (“Over You”) and Christina Aguilera (“Say Something”). They won a Grammy for Best Pop Duo/Group Performance for the haunting hit ballad, “Say Something,” and their song “This Is the New Year” was featured on “Glee.”

Providing More Than Scarves

ancer touches every family at one time or another. In a sea of raising awareness, the core fight is to find a cure through research and comfort those facing cancer today. The fifth annual Colors of Courage does both through a classy-casual autumn barbeque, dance and auction full of family and friends.

Nonprofit Profile

LAURA ROSS

Colors of Courage will be held Friday, October 7 at 7 p.m. at the Anchorage home of Reise and Natalie Officer. The annual event is the flagship fundraiser for Hope Scarves, which provides scarves, stories and hope to women facing cancer. A portion of the proceeds will be donated to metastatic (Stage IV) breast cancer research.

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

“I like to say the Colors of Courage are the beautiful and varied hopes of women facing cancer,” says Lara MacGregor, founder of Hope Scarves. “They are the deep compassion and determination of loved ones who support them, and of course, they represent the bright scarves we collect and send out through Hope Scarves that carry the stories of cancer survivors. We are all part of this tapestry.”

MacGregor was 30 years old and seven months pregnant when she was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2007. She was diagnosed with metastatic breast cancer in 2014. In 2007, a mutual friend mailed MacGregor a box of scarves with a note saying, “You can do this!” It was a heartfelt gift that led to the creation of Hope Scarves, a Louisville-based nonprofit serving women facing cancer. Hope Scarves captures the stories of courageous women who have faced cancer, along with the headscarves they wore

during treatment. The scarves are then drycleaned through a partnership with Highland Cleaners. The scarves, survivor stories and scarf-tying instructions are then passed along to another woman facing cancer, spreading a message of hope.

To date, Hope Scarves has distributed more than 6,000 scarves and survivor stories to all 50 states and nine countries. The women who receive them range in age from 5 to 93, and they collectively fight more than 90 types of cancer.

“Colors of Courage is not your typical black-tie fundraiser,” says MacGregor.

“In fact, leave your black tie at home! We launched Hope Scarves five years ago with a gathering in the backyard of my dear friends Lauren and Jason Stanbery.” Today, the event has grown to over 500 people raising over $125,000 for Hope Scarves each year. As the organization and event have grown, it has maintained a casual, welcoming feel.

“We hope you feel as if you are simply gathering with family and friends to celebrate the joys of life together,” explains Natalie Officer, event host. “My husband, Reise, and our children welcome everyone to our farm, and this lets us give back to a cause and area of research that is close to our hearts.”

For the fifth year, River Road BBQ will provide an autumn barbeque feast for guests, music will be provided by Porch Possums, and a live and silent auction and restaurant raffle will entertain guests.

Cancer – and awareness of it – is not “just” for October and Breast Cancer Awareness Month; cancer kills every day of the year.

“When first diagnosed in 2007, I found little comfort in, ‘We love tatas’ or, ‘Save second base’ campaigns,” recalls MacGregor.

“I never ran a race in a pink tutu. It all just

seemed to make light of a situation that scares me to my core. There is a reality behind this disease. Once you are a metastatic cancer patient, you are in treatments until the treatments stop working, you run out of options and you die. There should be more options for women with breast cancer, and that comes from research.”

Hope Scarves is a resource whether you are a patient, survivor or have a loved one facing cancer. The money raised helps send and collect scarves and stories, provides writing and scarf-tying workshops and gives funds to metastatic breast cancer research.

“We have a lot to celebrate this year,” says MacGregor. “Hope Scarves was recently named GLI’s Small Business of the Year People’s Choice Award, we have several new national partnerships, we’ll soon move into new office space and most importantly, we’ve invested $150,000 in research. I am turning 40 in a couple weeks and am just so thankful to be healthy. The best is yet to come!" VT Tickets to the Colors of Courage event are limited to the first 500 guests and are selling quickly. Visit hopescarves. org to purchase tickets, which are $75 each. Colors of Courage is held at 11905 La Grange Road in Anchorage at the Officer farm. The evening begins at 7 p.m. and includes a short program at 9 p.m. Attire is comfortable Southern backyard barbeque.

business briefs KENTUCKY ASSOCIATION OF REALTORS HIRES NEW DIRECTOR OF EDUCATION & TRAINING SERVICES

The Kentucky Association of REALTORS (KAR) announces that Nicole DeBoth has been hired as its Director of Education & Training Services. Nicole comes to KAR from LaCrosse, Wisconsin, bringing with her a strong and impressive background in coordinating professional education programs for leading real estate companies.

Nicole has expertise in organizing high-level employee training and creating customized courses for clients in the real estate industry nationwide and has worked to ensure client satisfaction and success.

“Nicole will bring a great wealth of real estate training knowledge to our organization and has the ability to help us create and deliver cutting edge programs for our members,” said KAR CEO Steve Stevens. “Our obligation is to help KAR members access training that not only meets their continuing education requirements, but helps them be the best in our industry in the nation.”

Her primary responsibility at the Association will be to provide leadership and coordination for programming and services to KAR that fall under the Kentucky Real Estate Education Foundation (KREEF) – a 501(c)(3) organization that serves as the educational arm for the KAR. The purpose of KREEF is to promote suitable standards of education in real estate, to broaden and expand real estate course offerings at educational institutions within the Commonwealth of Kentucky, and to promote other activities that foster, encourage and support the improvement of quality, interest and research in the teaching and study of real estate.

COLON CANCER PREVENTION PROJECT ANNOUNCES NEW EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR The Board of Directors of the Colon Cancer Prevention Project is pleased to announce the selection of Dave Bell as Executive Director.

Dave comes to the Project with more than 20 years of nonprofit leadership with the YMCA. Prior to joining the Project, Dave served for four years as the executive director of the downtown Louisville YMCA. In addition to his wealth of nonprofit experience, Dave is also a colon cancer survivor.

“We are thrilled to have Dave join us as a leader in reducing suffering and death from colon cancer,” notes Will Benoit, board chairman. “He joins the Project with both the understanding that screening saves lives and the skills needed to increase our impact in the communities we serve.”

Colon cancer is the second leading cancer killer in the U.S. among cancers that affect both men and women. It is estimated that 6 out of 10 deaths from colon cancer could be prevented in everyone were screened at age 50. Recent experience shows that people with a family history of colon cancer are at a higher risk and should be screened by age 40.

The Colon Cancer Prevention Project’s mission is to eliminate preventable colon cancer death and suffering by increasing screening rates through education, advocacy, health systems improvement and survivor support. The Project is a small but strong and growing organization with a large mission and vision for eliminating preventable colon cancer and suffering.

It is Kentucky and Southern Indiana’s only nonprofit focused solely on fighting this disease.

For the eighth consecutive year, UofL has landed in the top 100 in the Sierra Club Cool Schools rankings. The 2016 list, released Tuesday, ranks UofL at No. 43, jumping almost 30 spots since last year.

Justin Mog, assistant to the provost for sustainability initiatives, said the scoring was based on UofL’s latest rating in the national Sustainability Tracking, Assessment and Rating System (STARS).

Earlier this year, UofL became the first college in Kentucky to achieve a gold STARS rating. STARS tracks progress in the social, economic and environmental aspects of sustainability.

For the 2016 Cool Schools list, UofL scored more than 622 points out of a total of 1,000 in the annual ranking published

by The Sierra Club, the oldest grassroots environmental group in the United States. The list is compiled based on data about a school’s sustainability initiatives in co-curricular education, energy, investments, food, innovation, academics, planning, purchasing, transportation, waste and water.

“What’s so exciting about this is not just that we’re doing one thing right but that we are addressing sustainability across the board,” Mog said.

“I have been impressed with how far Louisville as a city has come in terms of sustainability and the University of Louisville has led the way,” said Betsy Ruhe, one of the first students enrolled in UofL’s new interdisciplinary master’s degree program with a sustainability concentration. “If it hadn’t been for the students and faculty pushing for change, none of this progress – and the recognition that has followed – would have been possible. To rank in the Top 50 is quite an accomplishment and reflects the commitment of all at UofL to become a leader in sustainability education for the 21st century.”

THE CAFE CELEBRATES 20 YEARS IN BUSINESS IN OCTOBER The two decades since The Cafe opened have flown by, according to its owners, Sal and Cindy Rubino. The Cafe, once located on the second floor of the Louisville Antique Mall on Goss Avenue, moved to a standalone location in the Paristown Point Neighborhood between the Highlands and downtown Louisville almost 10 years ago. The life expectancy of restaurants is notoriously short, so making it to the 20-year mark (which The Cafe will do in October) is exceptional.

Louisville has one of highest number of restaurants per capita in the United States – so competition is always heated.

According to a study by The Perry Group International, most independently owned restaurants close during their first year of operation. After the one-year mark, only 70 percent of survivors may make it up to five years.

“When The Cafe opened 20 years ago, we only had six tables and less than 20 seats. The only workers were Cindy as the chef and only kitchen worker and me handling the guest services side,” says Sal Rubino.

Today, The Cafe boasts a staff of more than 30 employees and has 230 seats, both indoors and on its airy patio. The Cafe has been featured on two Food Network shows, “Restaurant Impossible” with Robert Irvine in August 2013 and “Southern Fried Road-Trip” with Bobby and Jamie Dean in June 2015. Chef Cindy Rubino has also been featured on the local TV program, Secrets of Louisville Chefs.

With steady increases in the catering and delivery side to the business, The Cafe still has lots of momentum. Due to their continued success, The Rubinos have felt the need to give back.

They often hire those who have special difficulty finding work, including refugees and those recovering from dependency on drugs and alcohol.

The season concludes on Saturday May 13, 2017, at 7:30 p.m. at Ursuline Arts Center. “LGMC Goes to the Movies” will be a choral take on songs from the movies. Tickets for all shows are $10. They can be purchased at the door. They can also be purchased several weeks in advance of each show, online or by contacting a chorus member.

Phillip Morgan, artistic director, notes that “[i]t was the perfect time for LGMC to conceive of a season of connected shows. We have grown so much as a chorus that we are in a place to plan that far in advance and really give our audience something to anticipate.”

Chair of the Membership Council Shane Clay Smith adds “[w] e are incredibly grateful for the community support from local businesses for their generous invitations to perform at their locations, sponsorship of our concerts and fundraising opportunities. We are especially honored by the support of the community as a whole for their attendance and support of our concerts and performances.”

MASONIC HOMES OF KENTUCKY BREAKS GROUND ON $44M COMMUNITY Masonic Homes of Kentucky broke ground recently on a new $44 million independent living community called The Meadow, further adding to the rapid growth of the longterm care industry in Louisville. Louisville boasts the largest concentration of nursing home and extended-care companies in the nation. Leaders with Masonic Homes of Kentucky and potential residents gathered to celebrate the site, located near the front entrance of the 82-acre Louisville Campus off Frankfort Avenue.

“Today’s older adults are demanding independence and aren’t giving up their own identities,” said Gary Marsh, president and CEO of Masonic Homes of Kentucky. “The lifestyle The Meadow offers Louisville residents who are still actively blazing new trails explains the incredible response we’ve had to the project.”

The Meadow – which is already 84 percent pre-sold – will feature 122 independent living apartment-style residences and will include approximately 230,000 square feet to be developed on 11.1 acres of land on the Louisville Campus. The booming senior living industry continues to innovate and adapt to meet the needs of baby boomers – a group totaling 76 million.

A Bunch of What?

t looks like “must win” will hover over Mark Stoops’ head every week this season like a big dark cloud.

Kentucky football fans have been primed for success ever since Stoops was hired, and there have been enough teases along the way that the failures have become only more unacceptable to Big Blue Nation.

Catnip STEVE KAUFMAN

But after the guy who was given his first head coaching stint because of his defensive smarts called that unit “a bunch of crap” – after he publicly took over the defense from D.J. Eliot, after that Stoops defense allowed 42 points and 500 yards to New Mexico State – he was just inviting even more scrutiny than before.

“A bunch of crap”?? Such openness from a coach whose four years of public utterances had amounted to about 116 versions of, “We play ’em one game at a time.”

So this South Carolina game looked like it could be a breakout for the Gamecocks’ freshman quarterback Brandon McIlwain – a chance to run the ball against the bunch

that can’t tackle and to throw long against the safeties who play allfall-down.

son. Jordan Jones continues to be a special athlete. And the cornerbacks made a number of nifty plays.

I have no way of knowing if what we saw on Saturday night was a group stung by their coach’s very public rebuke. Or are they simply better than that and by the fourth week were beginning to find their legs? Or is South Carolina just that bad?

Two stand out. One was Derrick Baity’s leaping, stretching deflection of a ball late in the second half. That play might not have lodged in your memory. I don’t think it will make a single highlight reel this week. But it’s the kind of play a good cornerback should make routinely, and Baity hadn’t been making them.

For whichever of those reasons, this game was a victory for the defense. The offense did what it had to do, which was to consume enough of the clock – 33-minute time of possession – that the defense could rest and suck some air. Stephen Johnson played adequately; Boom Williams is the best running back in the nation that nobody notices; and Benny Snell is a freshman revelation who weebles and wobbles but won’t fall down. (Honestly, this guy doesn’t even wobble.)

And the defense did what nobody, including its coach, expected it to do. Courtney Love seems finally beginning to step up. Denzil Ware stepped up too. Matt Elam’s name was called for perhaps the first time I remember all sea-

The other was Chris Westry’s takedown of South Carolina tight end Hayden Hurst in the second half. That guy had been a thorn in Kentucky’s side all evening, and on this play, he caught the sideline slant, turned upfield and attempted to hurdle the 6-foot-4 cornerback. Westry could have done a lot of things.

He could have just tried to shoulder-and-hip the guy out of bounds. He could have cut his legs out from under him. He could have fallen down and allowed a fairly long gain.

What he did do was go up and meet Hurst in the air, and take him down WWE-style. All that was missing was a folding chair to slam against Hurst’s head. I’m sure you do remember that play. It might well make some highlight reels.

And it might well have saved the game.

But I’m mentioning it because it’s a sign of a new pugnaciousness in Westry’s equipment bag, not false preening or posing or congratulating himself because a receiver he’s covering gets loose but drops the ball. It was just tough football.

Good for both of them.

Look, just one win won’t satisfy those Kentucky fans who haven’t already given up on this team, who are still struggling to find that spark of hope. After two straight 5-7 seasons, only a six-win season was going to satisfy anyone.

And after that awful two-game start, with a bowl season evaporating by mid-September, the spark was nearly extinguished. I’m not sure that a win against New Mexico State that should have been easier and a win against a flawed South Carolina team is going to turn that spark back into a flame.

Especially not with you-know-who looming this weekend.

But the record is 2-2. And it was, against most expectations, a defensive victory. Stoops faced this most-recent must-win and won it. He deserves to take a breath and feel good. Who knows? Maybe this bunch-of-crap D is now ready to stand up to the Alabama juggernaut.

Jordan Jones, Blake McClain and Derrick Baity stop a play by the South Carolina offense.

Looking Back to LOOK AHEAD

T

he memory of the car ride is still vivid, even if the destination and the reason we were all there in the first place have been forgotten.

The exact score when it happened is another detail that escapes me, but it’s safe to assume the game was already well in-hand for the visitors in green.

The only thing that matters is that Tulane scored a touchdown on Louisville, the team I had worshiped since before I could form a conscious memory, and I celebrated.

program at that time. It wasn’t much, certainly not compared to today, just the chance to have a winning season, an exciting game or two on the schedule every year and maybe, if we were lucky enough, an occasional conference championship and subsequent trip to the Liberty Bowl in exotic Memphis, Tennessee.

Compare that archaic vision of success with where Louisville is right at this very moment: ranked No. 3 in the country, existing as the biggest story in the college football world, laying claim to the favorite to win the Heisman Trophy, and about to play the highest-profile game of the 2016 season to date in primetime on ABC. My 13-yearold sports brain would have exploded faster than a hastily assembled boy band.

Twenty years from now, there will be multiple generations of UofL football fans who will know nothing but top 25 rankings, conference championships and spotlight games like the one the Cardinals are going to play Saturday night at Clemson.

They’ll roll their eyes and laugh at old people like me when I tell stories of 1-10 seasons and blowout losses to Tulane in front of 22,000 fans.

Now that the program has moved past it, I feel fortunate that I got to experience at least a small portion of the struggle that longtime Louisville fans had been slogging through for decades before I was even born. The moment I begin to take Cardinal football success for granted or complain about some minute detail that really has no bearing on program wins or losses, all I have to do is remember that car ride.

The New No. 9 Jaylen Smith is one of the many weapons in former roommate Lamar Jackson’s UofL arsenal. The sophomore wide receiver enters this weekend’s game at No. 5 Clemson with eight catches for 202 yards and two touchdowns in 2016. The 6-foot-1 200-pounder burst onto the scene with five catches in the second game of his college career against Houston. Smith finished his freshman season with 29 receptions for 376 yards and one touchdown.

You were Lamar’s roommate last year, so how is he different to you?

You can tell – a different confidence in his leadership. Once you accept the role as the starting quarterback, you accept the role as the head of the team. He’s embraced it well.

What might we not know about him?

Taylor’s 10 KENT TAYLOR

not the look that he wants, and he knows exactly what it’s going to be.

So he gets mad at the scout defense or the offense and we get in a game and everything he said, it just all opens up perfectly.

How did the number change come about?

Last year, November 6, that was the night before we played against Syracuse, I had one of my best friends, Marshean Joseph, pass away in a car accident. He and his father passed away, and he wore No. 9 in high school and No. 99 at Mississippi State.

He was a redshirt freshman at Mississippi State. The off-season came and Traveon went from No. 9 to No. 1 and so No. 9 was open and me and Mike had already talked. My whole freshman year, I wanted to change from No. 87. Once that happened and the opportunity for me to get No. 9, Mike [Kurowski] put it on my locker and he said, not only for that

What was the family’s reaction?

I changed it and I initially didn’t tell anybody, but then I posted a picture and I got immediate love from all the family. They sent their love and appreciation and they just enjoy seeing the No. 9 on somebody that was so close to MJ.

WAVE3 Sports

Lamar is a big Kodak Black fan. Lamar is actually the reason I listen to Kodak Black today.

You came in and played a lot early, made plays and now you’ve got a lot more experience and the team is winning. How different is it for you?

It’s a credit to Lamar and the rest of the freshmen that came in and the older guys. They looked out. Jamari [Staples] and James [Quick] – they did a good job helping me learn the plays, learn the system when they were banged up. When they came back, it just made everything better.

What does it mean to you every time you put on that No. 9?

It gives me a sense of courage. The courage that he had. Marshean was one of toughest people, one of the most hardworking people, one of the most humble people. He was just a phenomenal athlete, phenomenal football player. Me wearing No. 9 feels like not only am I playing but that he’s playing through me.

Who is your sports hero?

Jaylen Smith.

How did you end up here from Pascagoula, Mississippi?

My first offer was actually Ole Miss, so immediately everyone assumed that I was a shoo-in to go to Ole Miss. Not too long after I received that offer, UofL came and I got to visit. Me and Terrell Buckley had long talks because he’s actually from Pascagoula, Mississippi, and him being here, that wasn’t the full reason I came, but he gave me a lot of insight. Once they told me that they had three or four seniors leaving and there were a lot of spots open, I took my chances with Louisville.

Randy Moss. It would definitely be Randy Moss. I’ve been watching Randy Moss for as long as I can remember. My first memory of him is him catching ball against the Cowboys. It was a simple hitch route. He’s running down the sidelines and he hesitated and then burst full-speed past the guy. It was amazing and ever since then I’ve been intrigued by the way Randy Moss played football.

How excited are you for this match-up, the first top five match-up of the season?

It’s going to be exciting. I’m excited to go down there and play, especially with what happened last year, how close we were to winning. I know Clemson is a phenomenal football team, got a great coach, great staff, great defense, but I feel like if we go in there confident and we make plays, that it can be a lot better game than people anticipate. I don’t know what people are saying right now. I’m just ready to go down there and have a blast and come out victorious. VT

Panthers Getting Back to Full Form

t’s been said the panther is an elusive and powerful animal that adapts well to a variety of habitats around the world. Well, coach Jason Hiser of Pleasure Ridge Park says his group of Panthers has been abnormal in recent years, but this season finding its way back to full form.

High School Sports Report

The panther has also been known for its ability to climb trees, and it has been no different with this football team. Ever since their championship run in 2012, where they fell short of a state title to Trinity, PRP has sought continuously to climb atop Class 6A as one of the best teams.

But each year comes with fresh new challenges, and hopes are high for this season to make a big statement across the commonwealth.

Junior quarterback BJ Robinson will play a huge role in keeping the Panthers aggressive.

Robinson is the younger brother of former four-year starter at UofL and currently on the practice squad for the Houston Texans, defensive lineman Brandon Dunn.

RANDY WHETSTONE JR.

“Here we are a year later. We learned from last year and a lot of guys grew up,” Hiser says in reference to the team’s 4-0 start to this year.

“Last year we were sophomore-heavy and junior-heavy, so [this year] we have more veteran players. The experience has to help us out and I think we are a better football team at this point than we were last year.”

Hiser’s words couldn’t be any truer. PRP is already one win away from tying their win total from last season.

I asked Robinson what he is able to glean from his older brother who has emerged to the elite class of the NFL. “It is really exciting, especially to have a brother in the NFL, it is a blessing,” he says. “Not too many people can say that. All he tells me is to keep my

head up. I talked to him a few weeks ago and he said to keep my head up and when there is a big game to always stay locked in.”

Coach Hiser envisions Robinson playing big time college football, and in the player’s mind, his coach is right. He has earned interest from UofL and has been on a visit to UK, but his hope is that he can go from being a Panther in high school to a Bearcat of Cincinnati in college. And he argues his resume is impressive, comparing his skill set to a trio of well-known quarterbacks.

“Teddy Bridgewater, Lamar Jackson and Brett Favre,” Robinson relates. “Favre is really the GOAT (Greatest of All Time). Compared to Favre, it is the bombs. I can throw the deep ball. Teddy is my man; I look like him out there in terms of accuracy and my ability to make all the passes. With Lamar, it is the running game because I can run a little bit.”

Aside from the quarterback position, PRP has relied heavily on “Mr. Dependable,” linebacker David Kennison. He’s been a four-year starter and has earned his name being consistent reliable for his team.

“I can’t think of anything negative to say about him,” Hiser adds. “He brings a good attitude every day in the school building, he works his butt and he is a heck of a linebacker. He has also been playing really good for us at RB. He is the guy that you can count on. I don’t go home at night and worry about whether David Kennison is going to be there the next day; I know he is going to be there.

He is that kind of player.”

PRP has a few guys on the roster who play both sides of the football. Kennison has been one of those, playing linebacker on defense and getting a few carries on the offensive side at the running back position as well.

Kennison says he didn’t take for granted his starting spot as a freshman, saying “I got my opportunity and I took advantage of it.” And his act of sacrifice has exemplified his commitment to his teammates.

“I have been playing RB since little league actually, and I transitioned to defense when I came to high school. I have been working harder every day, running and staying in shape. Yes, sometimes I get tired, but I know my team needs me out there and that keeps me going.”

BUTLER vs. MALE

Male controlled the game on Friday night with incredible defense and special teams. Nathan Hobbs scored the first points of the game with a 55-yard punt return, while Butler did not pass the 50-yard line in the first half. Butler ended with an interception, but it was nowhere near enough to surpass Male, who won 41-13.

SHELBY COUNTY HISTORY Shelby County historian John David Myles has written a fascinating book titled “Historic Architecture of Shelby County, Kentucky, 1792-1915.” It has just come from the publishers and will be of interest to all who grew up in Shelby County and its near environs of Oldham and eastern Jefferson County.

The book is an expansion of the chapter on architecture in the “New History of Shelby County, Kentucky,” written by Judge Myles in 2001. Myles has long been interested in the history and architecture of Shelby County. As a college student at Centre, he wrote a series of articles for The Shelby News about the history of well-known tracts of farmland such as Stockdale, Pine Grove, Tarry Long and Woodlawn.

Recently, he has published historical reports for quail hunting plantations in South Carolina and Georgia for Plantation Services Inc. (I remember that as a child my grandfather would get three shoe boxes of tiny quail each spring from the Sportsmen Club. He would take one to our farm in Oldham County, one to the farm in Shelby County and one to our farm in Jefferson County. They came in cardboard shoe boxes with holes punched in them for fresh air.)

Myles’ interest years ago caused Frances Cottongim to copy files she had collected over a lifetime of documenting Shelby County’s historic structures. He has added to her collection with 40 years of clippings, notes, drawings and photographs to create his new book.

Glitter Gala

SPOTLIGHT

On Saturday, October 8, the Louisville Youth Group will host the second annual Glitter Gala at PLAY Louisville. Proceeds from the event will benefit Louisville Youth Group, a community resource dedicated to providing LGBTQIA youth in Louisville, Southern Indiana and the surrounding areas a safe and supportive environment. To learn more about this year’s event, themed Not Your Fifth Grader’s Fall Festival, we caught up with Brian McLean, a member of Louisville Youth Group’s board of directors.

What can guests expect at this year’s Glitter Gala?

How is this year’s event different from last year’s Glitter Gala?

At this year’s Glitter Gala, a fundraising event to support the Louisville Youth Group, our theme is Not Your Fifth Grader’s Fall Festival. The event is being held at PLAY Louisville. Guest will be treated to live performances from two local bands and the wonderful hosting duties of DJ SYIMONE and also have the opportunities to play games and win prizes. There will also be snacks provided by Lucky’s Market.

Last year’s inaugural Glitter Gala featured a speakeasy theme, complete with food tastings and a burlesque show. This year’s theme of Not Your Fifth Grader’s Fall Festival will be a completely different experience. Each year, expect something new and different, as our intent is to change up the theme of the Glitter Gala each year!

Why is the event important for Louisville Youth Group?

The purpose of this event it to allow us to

increase funding for LYG. LYG offers a full range of programming, services and events for LGBT+ youth ages 14-21 in our community and community outreach programs in local school systems. All of the services provided by LYG are free to our youth, and fundraising events such as the Glitter Gala help make this possible.

Is it too late to get tickets?

No! Tickets are still on sale. You can purchase them in advance through Eventbrite and also at the door the night of the event. VT

Whole-Body Approach to Pain Management

Dr. Michael Cassaro.

“T

he human body is a marvel of engineering,” says Dr. Michael Cassaro. As a physician, he knows a thing or two about bodies, of course, but he also knows quite a bit about engineering.

Health & Wellness

Report, he began to notice that patients rarely had just one medical problem or complaint, which led him to start looking at the body as a whole. He says he began to unlock “hidden sources of pain amplification in the body’s immune system, metabolism and hormone system.”

Cassaro now offers patients a range of whole body evaluation and treatTHOMAS He earned a degree in it at the Uniment services at his Painless Living PACK versity of Louisville and was workoffice, a Jeffersonville facility specializing outdoors as a civil engineer during the harsh ing in treatment of headaches, backaches and other winter of 1977 when he realized he would pre- types of chronic pain. fer a career offering a bit more warmth – and not New patients receive a thorough 45-minute evaljust the comfort of an office but the warmth of uation, including a review of any previous test human interaction. results or X-rays. If Cassaro determines that the “I like helping people,” Cassaro says. “I like solving their problems on a daily basis, and I realized that as an engineer, I wasn’t helping people as much as I wanted to, at least not individually.”

After earning a high score on the medical school entrance exam, he began taking required and elective courses on a range of medical specialties. Serendipity then determined the course of his career.

In an elective class in anesthesiology, he discovered the subspecialty of chronic pain management, which combined his love of helping others with the chance to put his engineering mind to work on analyzing, defining and solving problems.

During his residency at the Ochsner Medical Center just outside New Orleans, a facility consistently rated one of the best by U.S. News & World PHOTO BY WES KERRICK

treatment for a pain problem falls within the scope of his practice, the patient then receives a detailed plan for further evaluation and treatment.

Sometimes the source of chronic pain is as simple as “wearing high heels, the type of food the patient eats or the medicines he or she is taking,” Cassaro says. “You’d be amazed at how many prescription drugs cause headaches as a side effect.”

He also stresses the importance of basic body maintenance, including eating right (no additives), sleeping right (plan a consistent bedtime) and getting regular exercise (which boosts metabolism and “in turn directly affects the body’s ability to heal,” he says).

If lifestyle changes alone won’t help a patient live pain-free, Cassaro may suggest such treatments as

the use of an inversion table or a traction device.

Another option is a nerve destruction procedure, which can be especially helpful in relieving severe back and neck pain. It’s a minimally invasive procedure “done with a needle,” he says, “so there’s just a little puncture wound.”

He also offers neurostimulation. Sometimes called spinal cord stimulation (SCS), the procedure involves implanting a small device that sends electronic pulses through thin wires, or leads, into a nerve that’s causing pain. The neurostimulator creates a pulse to disrupt the pain signal before it reaches the brain. The patient uses a wireless external remote to control the stimulation level.

Cassaro has performed hundreds of neurostimulator implants during the past 25 years, and other physicians consult him for his expertise in using the procedure for chronic pain treatment. Many services are provided in his office; others are provided in an outpatient surgical center.

Whatever diagnosis a patient receives, there is one treatment plan that Cassaro does not provide: “I won’t prescribe medicine for longterm pain,” he says. “The current opioid epidemic is a direct result of pain medication being over-prescribed, and heroin users often are people who can no longer get prescription medicine.” VT For Cassaro’s advice on a range of health issues, check out his weekly syndicated radio program, “The Painless Living Show.”

The program’s website (painlesslivingshow.com) offers broadcast info, an archive of shows and articles on an array of chronic pain topics, from morning headaches to carpal tunnel syndrome.

Painless Living is located at 200 Missouri Ave. in Jeffersonville.

In addition to the presenting a fabulous event that will feature some sponsor, Dillard’s, the event is also sponsored

Couture for a Cause, hosted by the Younger Woman’s Club of Louisville, is a fashion show that benefits several charities around the city. The show takes place Saturday, October 8 starting at 7:30 pm. Presented at the illustrious Seelbach Hilton in downtown Louisville, this annual event will feature the latest trends in both women’s and men’s fashion.

The planning for the show begins several months in advance, in which time the club sets a date and books a venue. Then the club begins looking for sponsors, choosing charities and taking care of the hundreds of small details that make up the show. While making the show fun and exciting is important, the number one priority for the Younger Woman’s Club is raising as much money as possible to help those in need.

“This is going to be a really exciting event, and we’re working to make this our biggest

“Absolutely 100 percent of the profits from this show will go to the charities we select,”

explains Reece. “We think people are really going to enjoy this show, and the money is going to those who really need it.”

Grant requests are submitted to the Younger Woman’s Club in the weeks leading up to the show. The charities are then visited and interviewed by members of the club and chosen based on member votes. The causes that will benefit from this affair have not yet been determined for this year, but a few charities that were selected in the past are Gilda’s Club Louisville, the Center for Women and Families and St. Joseph Children’s Home.

In addition to donating to these causes, the Younger Woman’s Club is also hosting a Most Fashionable Philanthropist contest, in which people can vote with their money for the most fashion-forward philanthropist.

The contest can be found on the club’s website, and the winner who receives the most money will get a donation made to the charity of their choice.

A few of this year’s contestants are Jay Hatcher, Ingrid Johnson and Allison Myers. These contestants and other local philanthropists, including the show’s emcee, WAVE 3 anchor Shannon Cogan, will all be in attendance.

The night’s itinerary begins with an open bar cocktail hour outside of the Medallion Ballroom. This year’s liquor sponsors are Southern Glazer’s Wine and Spirits, Tito’s Handmade Vodka and Falls City Beer. Next, guests will collect their swag bags and watch the show as models show off the latest looks from Dillard’s. Afterward, there will be an epic open-bar after party with a DJ, dancing and late night food donated by White Castle, KFC and The Comfy Cow. In addition to the complementary swag bags, guests can also take home raffle items and Fab Finds.

These Finds are gift-wrapped mystery items that can be purchased for only $20, though each item is worth at least $50. Tickets for the event start at $70 and can be purchased online at the show’s website, ywcfashionshow.com.

First row: Aimee Sparrow, Soon Bahrami (YWC fashion Show co-chair) and Liz Bornwasser; second row: Wendy Hyland (YWC fashion show co-chair) and Jennifer Chu (YWC fashion show co-chair); third row: Emily Gentry, Sarah Thieneman and Brooke Heitz; fourth row: Stephanie Thurman-McCrocklin and Alison Malone.

SWEET

CAFE

Boasting itself as the only gluten-free, nut-free and soy-free bakery in the state, Annie May’s Sweet Cafe additionally offers a wealth of vegan options.

Even those with dairy allergies will find plenty of succulent selections at this charming and comfortable local gem.

Annie May’s professional past includes a Ph.D. and a career teaching special needs individuals. A passion for pastry coupled with challenging experiences with her own allergies spurred her to become a self-taught glutenfree baker, and in June 2011, Annie May’s Sweet Cafe officially opened. “There isn’t a lot of information easily available when it comes to learning how to make this stuff,” she shares. “The same rules for regular baking do not apply to gluten-free goods. I spent a lot of time and money on trial-and-error efforts. Now I’m hoping others can benefit from my experience.”

Be assured, one need not suffer from food allergies to enjoy this sweet spot, but the ease it offers those who have denied themselves baked goods for dietary purposes is oh so sweet.

The Voice of Louisville Launch Party

What excites you most about the upcoming arts season in

Louisville?

I am excited for all the new, young faces reinvigorating the art scene.

- Courtney Blanton I am excited for the variety that Louisville has. We are such an artsy town, which I love.

There is a variety from the theater to musicals to

kids and the community at large.

There is so much to do here all the time. Actors Theatre always has a show going. The Louisville Orchestra is always preforming. The Kentucky Center. There is always something to do here; that is what excites me about Louisville.

I am excited for the sneakers exhibit at the Speed. Having a basketball background, seeing the old school Air Jordans and the Adidas will be really neat. I think they have some of Michael Johnson’s Olympic track shoes when he broke the world record.

I feel like Louisville is coming to life. I feel like it has always had the potential and it is bringing in a new vibe.

The art is making Louisville catch up to speed, so it is really exciting.

Louisville has really progressed. I was away for 20 years and coming back and being back now for 12—almost 13—years has been amazing to see the progress. There seems to be a lot more gallery openings. Louisville is very exciting. To see someone that was flown in from Broadway playing one of our favorite singers, Carole King, was very magical.

I’m impressed with Louisville overall as a city and what they have done to incorporate major productions from New York to Los Angeles to Miami.

It makes us feel like we are a metropolitan city as well. We have a lot of flavor and influence from the variety of people who live here. It is so exciting that we can get so many great shows.

PUTTING THE ‘HOME’

in Home Game

The design blends J&L Marketing’s automotive expertise with UofL colors.

W

hen J&L Marketing founder and CEO Scott Joseph contacted Barry Wooley to design and outfit his luxury suite at Papa John’s Cardinal Stadium in late June, he had one primary directive: “Create a space that people wouldn’t want to leave when the game ended.”

J&L Marketing is the highest-rated automotive marketing agency in the nation, so once Wooley reviewed Joseph’s profile, he came up with a concept to “murder out” the suite. (“Murdered out” is a term used in the auto industry to describe cars Homes painted entirely flat black with a matte finish.) Joseph was immediately receptive to the idea KRIS because it tied together RITCHER J&L Marketing’s with one of Louisville’s team colors.

Even if Wooley and team had never gotten their hands on it, Joseph’s is an enviable suite based solely on its premium location overlooking the 50-yard line on the fourth floor of the stadium. But when Joseph turned to Wooley and his team to handle the design specifics, the suite was taken to the next level.

From the initial client profile Wooley asks his clients to complete, he is able to get a handle on their personality – the one element that should always shine through in the design of their space. The questionnaire isn’t about what the client wants so much as who the client is.

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

the suite are made of bluestone and are heavy enough to handle a gusty afternoon with the interior glass doors open without toppling.

The linear carpet planks are not only durable and attractive but they allow for a single piece to be replaced should there be a major stain or spill. There are three flat-screen TVs along one wall for guests who may prefer to lounge in the club-like space instead of occupying

Next, the design team presented Joseph a vision board with swatches and the preliminary ideas of their concept. Once Joseph made decisions about lighting and a few other basics, Wooley went to work. What happened next is almost unbelievable. From concept to completion, his team transformed the space into an entirely customized, unique space in a mere 30 days.

No detail has been overlooked. The two custom pub tables at the front of

one of the 18 open-air stadium seats overlooking the field. The kitchenette is equipped with a wine chiller and a water filtration system, and there is even a basket of beautiful fauxfur throws for the chilly games of November and December.

But it’s the unique features rather than the practical that make this suite truly incredible. Giant gold cardinal wings are positioned above the bar area. Red accents throughout warm the room. The centerpiece is a salvaged red and black Ford truck tailgate, literally built into the wall, that, when pulled down, transforms into a buffet table, highlighted with red rope lighting and ready to serve the 25-30 guests Scott typically hosts during any given game. If that tailgate shares the spotlight at all, it’s with the larger-than-life cardinal bird figurines perched on a wire lining the front of the suite. Details like these set this suite apart from neighboring suites in such an uncommon way, it’s hard to process the personalized work that was poured into the finished product. The result is staggering. Not only would a guest want to stay when a game ends, it’s likely they may never want to leave.

Barry Wooley is no stranger to the “home game.” In fact, he’s basically the MVP. It takes

a village, however, to realize something so individual and customized. It’s important to mention the myriad of talents he has the opportunity to work with. Beyond teammates Jude Loew and Jacqui Smith, his expanded network of professionals includes paper hanger Susan McKinney, carpenter Graham Chamberlain, artisan Tom Whited and specialty painters

Paco Torres and Laura Morales. These masterminds of design have come together to create something truly spectacular for Scott Joseph, and those who are able to experience it should count themselves truly lucky.

Pumpkin

Blow

Nic Pizzolatto and Richard Wenk’s screenplay is something of a far-fetched multi-cultural fantasy to impose in an old Western setting, but it is fair to say that liberties have always been taken with this period genre to reflect values of the moment. It’s delightful to see a fictional story that brings together different varieties of Americans, and director Antoine Fuqua (“Training Day”) delivers a charming caper with an epic gun battle finale that should entertain people normally resistant to westerns.

I must say that I was mostly surprised at the film’s production value. Despite how phony movies can look now due to the convenience of digital tools, the 2016 “Magnificent Seven” is incredibly pure.

Shot on 35mm film featuring wonderfully lit compositions by cinematographer Mauro Fiore, this film’s stunts, staging and editing made me feel right at home, with the exception of the last two shots.

As a lover of film soundtracks who can’t get much satisfaction these days, it’s also nice to hear the final compositions of the late James Horner, who worked on this film until his untimely death last year. The film’s music doesn’t aim for the joy of Bernstein’s score from the original – even if Chris Pratt’s performance does plenty to bring that spirit to the production. The original theme is subtly worked into the new music, which is more inspired by Ennio Morricone than Aaron Copland. Still, I wouldn’t have left the theater truly happy without hearing Bernstein’s music prominently played at some point.

Thankfully, we get it at the end credits. Good as it is, the movie wouldn’t have worked without it being somewhere. VT

DEAR ABBY

Husband Needs Help Moving Beyond Past Sexual Abuse DEAR ABBY: My husband recently disclosed to me that he was sexually abused by his cousin, who was the same age, when he was in high school.

She blackmailed him by threatening to tell everyone he had raped her. She used this power over him to coax sexual favors but never intercourse.

she was really confused. – AWKWARD TEEN IN TEXAS

Dear Abby

DEAR AWKWARD: I do not think you should come out to your family until you are sure of exactly who you are. From the tone of your letter, you appear to be still trying to figure that out – which is completely normal for someone your age.

After a year of looking for help, he JEANNE confided in his mother, but she ended Please do not put any labels on yourPHILLIPS up getting drunk and telling the whole self right now. Concentrate on school, family about the situation. Luckily, he was able to convince most of them it was “just the alcohol friends, things you enjoy. Give it time, and I pretalking.” At that point, his cousin finally found a dict that in a year or two, when you are more clear about things, you will know what to do. boyfriend and stopped blackmailing him.

••• This all happened five years ago. He hasn’t lived in the same state as his mom or the abuser in three years. I can tell that by confiding in me he feels much better, but I’m worried that he blames himself for his mother’s alcoholism and his ruined relationships with his close friends in high school. I’m also not sure whether or not we can bring his abuser to justice. – CONCERNED SPOUSE

DEAR CONCERNED SPOUSE: Encourage your husband to talk to a licensed psychotherapist about what was done to him. Victims sometimes blame themselves. I seriously doubt that his mother’s alcohol abuse had anything to do with him.

That she betrayed his confidence instead of helping him was terrible. A therapist can explain all this to him and help him to see things clearly so he can decide how to proceed.

••• DEAR ABBY: I’m planning on getting married this year, but I have cold feet. One day I want to be married; the next day I don’t. My fiancée is my best friend, and we have been dating for more than four years. Is there any way to get over wedding jitters and live life to the fullest? – COLD FEET IN OKLAHOMA DEAR COLD FEET: An intelligent way to work through your jitters would be to talk them through.

Consider premarital counseling with your fiancée. A number of subjects will be raised during the sessions, including both of your feelings regarding handling money, having children (and raising them) and even the fact that such a big step gives you butterflies.

••• DEAR ABBY: I’m a 15-year-old bisexual girl, and I have a big problem with relationships. They make me feel awkward. I don’t like holding hands and the mushy-gushy stuff hurts my soul. I’m asking for help to come out to my parents and also what I should do about not liking relationships. Am I the only one like this? I told my friend once, and S E P T E M B E R 2 9 , 2 0 1 6 • V O I C E -T R I B U N E . C O M

DEAR ABBY: I am in a new relationship (six months) with a man who treats me like gold. He’s kind, affectionate and a great man, except for one thing.

His office building is right next to mine, which is how we met. During work hours, I’m extremely busy and don’t generally have time to hang out or take breaks. If I do, it may be to run a quick errand or grab a sandwich with a co-worker.

Abby, I have worked here for eight years, and I don’t invite ANYONE to socialize during work hours. He texts me that he’s outside my building, or he says he just dropped by to say “hi” or “bye.”

If he sees me pull in at my office, he will wave me down or jog over to walk me to work.

My professional life has always been separate from my personal life. I need my work hours to myself, and I have told him this numerous times. I have asked him not to come by and explained that my 9-to-5 is for work. He just doesn’t get it.

I don’t want to end my relationship over this, but I love my job. It is important that I be focused at work. I don’t think it’s appropriate to be hugging, kissing and embracing in front of my office. We see each other after work every day. Please give me a solution because I am at my wits’ end! – WANTS TO WORK ALONE DEAR WANTS TO WORK ALONE: Because you have told this man repeatedly that you aren’t comfortable with him dropping by during work hours or engaging in public displays of affection where you can be observed, it’s time to “up the ante.” The next time it happens, tell him you think he’s terrific, but if he can’t respect your work ethic and your boundaries, it might jeopardize your relationship.

••• DEAR ABBY: I am an African-American woman who was in a relationship with a Hispanic man. I am now a single parent of a beautiful 6-month-old son who is my pride and joy.

60

My biracial son, who looks exactly like me, is very fair-skinned. My problem is, any time I leave the house with him, strangers feel the need to ask me rude questions. I have been asked about my child’s father’s ethnicity and asked if I was babysitting someone else’s child. I’m left flabbergasted and speechless. What should I say the next time a stranger asks about my son’s race, which is none of their business? – COLORBLIND IN TEXAS DEAR COLORBLIND: It’s normal for people to be curious. If I were you, I wouldn’t tell them it’s none of their business because if you do, you will come across as angry and defensive. When your son is older, it may make him wonder if there is something wrong with his appearance. A better way to handle it would be to matter-of-factly just tell the truth and move on.

••• DEAR ABBY: I’ve been with my boyfriend, “Jake,” for two years. We are both 32. Since the beginning, his sister, “Michelle” (who is 26), has never liked me. Jake admits there’s no reason for it.

He thinks she’s just looking out for him because he’s had bad relationships in the past.

Michelle makes me very uncomfortable during family events by making rude comments, and she makes a point of excluding me from any event she is hosting. She has told people that I “shoved her” and accuses me of refusing to let her talk to her brother. Neither is true. I have asked Jake to ask his sister to apologize and make amends, but he insists she’ll do it when “hell freezes over.” He thinks I should try to make amends.

I’m at a loss. I don’t think I should apologize for something I’ve never done. Abby, she has belittled me in any encounter we’ve had. The rest of the family shrugs and says, “That’s just the way she is.” Michelle has never liked any of Jake’s girlfriends, so this seems to be a pattern for her. I’m afraid it will eventually lead to the end of Jake’s and my relationship.

I love him very much, and I wish he could see my side on this. Could you please give me some advice, Abby? – NOT MY FAULT IN ALBERTA, CANADA DEAR NOT MY FAULT: Michelle’s fixation on her brother isn’t normal or healthy. That Jake has been willing to tolerate it and not warn her to knock it off means that as long as you are with him, you will be subjected to her mistreatment. You may love Jake, but as long as he is under the thumb of his jealous and possessive sister, you will continue to be abused and maligned. My advice is to cut your losses.

PUZZLES

pets of the week Cooper is a 9-year-old handsome labrador mix. Cooper found himself at the Kentucky Humane Society in June when his owner was no longer able to care for him. Cooper is a bit nervous around new people at first, but with time he warms up and will be your best friend before you know it. Cooper loves belly rubs and treats and responds to training very quickly. According to Cooper’s former owner, he is house-trained, does well when left alone and has lived with cats.

Because of Cooper’s anxiety around young kids, we recommend he go to a home with no children. Cooper is neutered, micro-chipped and up to date on all vaccinations. You can meet Cooper at our Main Campus, 241 Steedly Drive in Louisville.

Lexi is a beautiful 8-year-old domestic shorthair mix with gorgeous deep-green eyes. She’s a loving girl who would prefer the company of adults to that of children. She is declawed in the front and that makes her a little more nervous around other animals.

Lexi needs a nice quiet home where she can have love and peace.

Do you have the kind of home where Lexi could thrive? She is spayed, micro-chipped and up to date on her vaccinations. Come meet her today at the Kentucky Humane Society’s Main Campus, 241 Steedly Drive.
