Between the time I write this and the time you read it, a new president of the United States will have been elected by the American people. With the volatile nature of this election cycle even that seems a bit presumptuous, stranger things have happened in what hindsight proves were much more agreeable times. Regardless of the outcome, it feels entirely appropriate that we prepare our Veterans Day issue on Election Day. The brave men and women who willingly face combat on behalf of our country, several of whom are profiled within these pages, have done so to protect your freedom to publicly speak your heart about the issues that most concern you. Our only risk has been that of losing a few “friends” on social media. Their risk was much, much greater, of course. They have fought for our right to vote, and in this election, particularly, I have heard many speak of their right to abstain from voting – a new twist on exercising our freedoms.

As our nation comes to terms with the result of this election, I hope we can do so with renewed gratitude to be living in America. To earn our individual freedoms, many of us have not had to face the trauma that Robert Thompson did (“Helping Veterans Rediscover Home”) after spending 12 grueling years Tonya Abeln in the Marine Corps and seeing combat in Turkey, Syria and Afghanistan. When evaluating your patriotism upon the potential loss of your chosen candidate, think of Dave Parks (“The Legacy of Service”), who spent 20 years in the Marine Corps and was an active duty captain awaiting retirement on 9/11, or retired Army Officer Karl Truman, who spent 28 years in the Army Reserve. Their commitment to service was in hopes of protecting a country of which its citizens could be proud. I hope we can honor that sacrifice by mending the massive divide.

It’s still unclear if when you read this we will be addressing Mister or Madame President.

Regardless of gender or politics, I do hope they vow to honor and protect our veterans with the same commitment that our veterans have honored and protected our country.

V E TER ANS DAY SPECI AL It might feel like this country is more divided than ever. Election season seems to bring out the worst in people, and this year’s presidential race proved to be more vitriolic and combative than ever before.

However, there is one thing we can agree on: the importance of appreciating and supporting our troops.

We honor the sacrifices of the men and women of the armed services who keep us safe. From missing birthdays and holidays with loved ones because of deployments to enduring physical or mental injuries during war, everyone who has put on a uniform for this country has given something. This Veterans Day, we are sharing four stories of veterans and veteranfocused organizations who are paying it forward and contributing great things to our community.

Helping Veterans Rediscover Home STORY BY WESLEY KERRICK

T

welve grueling years in the U.S. Marine Corps left Robert Thompson with post-traumatic stress disorder, an ugly consequence of the combat zones of Turkey, Syria and Afghanistan. Having completed his service, the former staff sergeant was living out of a car shared with his wife, Kamilah, and their four children. The older two kids, teenagers, were earning failing grades in every subject.

But that was last year. Things are different now.

Through the help of Volunteers of America, a national charity with a regional headquarters in Louisville, the Thompsons now live in a four-bedroom home in a pleasant neighborhood. With a garage, a basement and a backyard, there’s space for the teens to sprawl out and for the 6-year-old and 3-year-old to run and play.

Volunteers of America worked with a management team that rents properties to veteran families to find the home. Then they paid the security deposit and the first month’s rent and utilities.

After that, they helped the Thompsons get into a Section 8 program that comes alongside their own income to cover the ongoing costs of rent and utilities.

“It’s not just a thing of just throwing us in a place and saying, ‘Yay, you’re off the street,’” explains Kamilah. Instead, Volunteers of America’s approach is to help families up to their own feet.

But they’d scarcely moved into their new house when they totaled their car. Within two weeks though, they’d received a new vehicle.

“God has been wonderful to our family,” Kamilah says.

Robert Thompson is just one of more than 1,500 veterans served every year by Louisville-based Volunteers of America Mid-States, which covers Kentucky, Tennessee, Southern Indiana, West Virginia and Southern Ohio.

The organization, which also helps thousands of non-veterans with addiction, homelessness, developmental disabilities and other challenges, is an affiliate of Alexandria, Virginia-based Volunteers of America Inc. Of the 1,500 veterans who turn to the Louisville-based affiliate each year, about 1,300 come for case management services. That N O V E M B E R 1 0 , 2 0 1 6 • V O I C E -T R I B U N E . C O M

means they have periodic appointments with Volunteers of America staff who guide them through the logistics of finding employment or housing or applying for federal assistance.

The remaining 200 or so veterans are participants in an inpatient drug and alcohol treatment program at Volunteers of America’s Shelby Street campus in Germantown.

Sadly, substance abuse, poverty and homelessness run rampant in the veteran community.

“They have experienced a lot of trauma, and it is very difficult to go back to work, to come back home and to completely compartmentalized that life away,” says Jennifer Hancock, president and CEO of Volunteers of America Mid-States. “So I think it’s a natural byproduct of being in an environment where you spend many years exposed to daily trauma. And it is, unfortunately, the price they pay to serve us.”

For people like Robert, who joined the

8

military out of high school, the switch from lifeand-death responsibilities to everyday responsibilities is particularly blunt.

“It is a major jump,” he asserts. “A lot of people don’t understand that. But being in the military even over four years, your world, as far as civilian life, stops, but everybody else’s keeps going. So once you get out, you’re going to have to play catch-up.”

When you’re actively serving, you rely on the military to handle things like banking and housing for you rather than figuring them out directly, Kamilah explains.

“When you get out of the military,” she says, “all that assistance stops. And it’s all on you.”

Hancock adds, “They come home with a variety of wounds that are both physical and psychological. In addition to that, they’ve all experienced a unique culture of being in the military, a way of relating with other service men and women – a language, customs and COURTESY PHOTO

rituals that are not common in the civilian world. So it’s just a tremendous transition that individuals must go through.”

It can be tough to grasp the extent of that transition, but Volunteers of America has veterans on its staff. Those who aren’t are trained extensively.

“They customize a care plan with every single client that they work with to make sure that we’re really individualizing our approach to meet their unique needs,” Hancock says.

“So it’s not a program that has a cookie-cutter approach.”

For the Thompsons, the friendliness of Volunteers of America’s representatives made all the difference. They’d previously sought help elsewhere and been told they didn’t qualify on some technical ground or another. But at Volunteers of America, all the programs and services flow out of a genuine desire to help.

As Kamilah puts it, “It’s like they’re actually trying to assist you.”

“We have a lot of success in making sure that veterans trust that we are here for them,

“We have a lot of success in making sure that veterans trust that we are here for them, and that we’re willing to walk with them and accompany them on their journey to successfully transition into the community.”

-Jennifer Hancock, president and CEO of Volunteers of America Mid-States and that we’re willing to walk with them and accompany them on their journey to successfully transition into the community,” Hancock says. “And sometimes that’s as simple as listening to them talk about how difficult it is to transition and acknowledging that for them and validating them, and them getting access to peers who can support them as well.”

Today, the Thompson children are honor roll students. One runs on the track team and another plays in the band.

“It’s incredibly gratifying to know that we serve as a support system to men and women who have sacrificed a lot to serve our country,” Hancock says. “And to be able to give to them in a way that is very solution-focused and

allows them to get back on their feet is something we are very passionate about at Volunteers of America. We are very proud to serve veterans.”

For members of the community interested in learning more about the work of Volunteers of America, the organization will be hosting tours of its clinical campus, 1436 S. Shelby St., on Thursday, November 17, from 6 to 7 p.m. and on December 6 from 9 to 10 a.m. To RSVP for a tour, contact David Beach at 502.636.4660 or dbeach@voamid.org.

has grown over the years. It now features a massive buffet dinner provided pro bono by Sysco Foods and Tumbleweed, music and both a live and silent auction. Undoubtedly, the highlight of the evening is the arrival of injured and recovering service men and women from Ft. Knox.

More than 120 soldiers and veterans, along with their families, are escorted from Ft. Knox to Prospect in a motorcade provided by the Jefferson and Oldham counties’ sheriffs’ offices, fire departments and EMS, as well as the Kentucky Patriot Riders motorcycle club. “These soldiers and veterans feel like rock stars when they arrive at the Tribute to Troops,” says Lt. Col. Paul Sanders, WEF board member and commander of the 412th Civil Affairs Battalion (Airborne) out of Columbus, Ohio.

few years ago, a group of friends and avid boaters gathered on the Ohio River.

Their casual conversation turned to the topic of injured service men and women – those whose sacrifices make enjoyment and freedom possible. Unlike most conversations of gratitude, this one compelled the friends into action.

Michael Greenwell, president of Titan Marine in Prospect, had worked regularly with veterans and military contracts in his business. Throughout the years, he had a reoccurring vision of throwing a fundraiser to support veterans. This vision, coupled with the conversation that took place that night on the river, inspired the creation of the Warrior Empowerment Foundation (WEF).

Greenwell founded the all-volunteer organization in 2013 and acts as CEO. “We pay no salaries. We rely on donations and the great support of our friends and neighbors to serve, support and empower injured service members of the United States Armed Forces and their caregivers,” he explains.

Unlike other organizations, the WEF is a home-based operation. “We are entirely N O V E M B E R 1 0 , 2 0 1 6 • V O I C E -T R I B U N E . C O M

local and are completely separate from the national Wounded Warriors group,” he says.

“What’s raised in Louisville stays in Louisville and the surrounding communities.”

WEF recently held the fourth annual Tribute to Troops, their annual fundraising event.

The largest to date, this year’s benefit saw nearly 1,000 guests and garnered $200,000 in one evening. This is all the more impressive noting the first-year planning goal of $10,000. Money raised will be distributed throughout the coming year to support U.S. military service men and women injured during active duty.

The Tribute to Troops fundraiser, originally envisioned as a casual summer get-together,

“It’s a night to celebrate their service and let people put faces to these brave heroes. But the real story comes after the fact, when we provide funding that can truly make life-ordeath transformations for these service members,” Sanders says. He saw firsthand the difference funding made for members of his 412th Civil Affairs Battalion Alumni Fund.

“Some of our soldiers and their families who are struggling were able to pay electric, water and medical bills. They also funded the purchase of Christmas presents for those who could not afford gifts for their children.”

Greenwell adds, “When a soldier returns from war injured, it can be obvious, like a missing limb, or more concealed, such as a PTSD or closed head injuries. Veterans and their families may have housing issues, face homelessness, or their children may suffer needlessly because of unforeseen difficulties assimilating back into society.”

Thankfully, WEP is there help. This year alone, they have already distributed more

than $100,000 in grants to several area nonprofit organizations that serve veterans, active duty members and their caregivers.

Some of the recipients include USA Cares, the 412th Civil Affairs Battalion Alumni Fund, Paws with a Purpose, the Coalition for the Homeless, the Salvation Army and St. Vincent DePaul.

USA Cares, based in Radcliff, is a major beneficiary of WEF funding. According to Bill Roby of USA Cares, “The Warrior Empowerment Foundation and USA Cares partnership is a win-win for all parties.”

Funds donated through Warrior Empowerment foundation to USA Cares are used to assist military families in crisis. “Grants, not loans, are provided to military families through four core programs: emergency assistance, housing assistance, career transition and combat injury expenses.”

For those injured in combat, USA Cares is able to pay basic expenses. “For veterans diagnosed with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder or a Traumatic Brain Injury, they can rest assured that their family is taken care of while they receive treatment,” he says.

“When USA Cares is contacted to provide assistance, we are able to respond to the request and have a payment made within 48 hours.”

WWII Pearl Harbor survivor Charles R. Hocker.

Elaine Weisberg of Paws with a Purpose is grateful for the Warrior Empowerment Foundation’s support. “Being a recipient of funding from the Warrior Empowerment Foundation means a lot to Paws with a Purpose, especially since we are a nearly all-volunteer organization. Having the opportunity to meet veterans and let them be aware of Paws with a Purpose will help us in our mission of placing assistance dogs with individuals who have physical and other disabilities.”

Placing a puppy with a service member is no easy task. “It takes two years to train and place a dog, and all of our dogs are placed at no cost to the recipient,” Weisberg explains.

“During that time, there are many training costs as well as medical costs. The funding will assist in this endeavor.”

Greenwell considers it an honor to assist the organizations that provide the much needed care our veterans and military personnel so rightfully deserve. “Our job is to raise funds and community awareness for the ongoing challenges. We believe it’s a privilege to serve those who have so bravely served us.” VT For more information on the Warrior Empowerment Foundation or to seek support, visit wefoundationky.org.

B-25 Bomber Flight for WWII Veterans STORY BY KELLIE DOLIGALE

L

“One of my passions is helping veterans and especially those who have sacrificed so much for the freedoms and liberties that we enjoy.”

ocal attorney and retired Army Officer Karl Truman is a constant contributor to the veteran community. Having spent 28 years in the United States Army Reserve before retiring in 2009 as a lieutenant colonel, his list of causes is ever-expanding around a central commitment to honor those among us with the utmost dedication to country.

As Karl Truman Law Office celebrates its 25th anniversary this year, he reflects on the many opportunities he’s had to show support.

“One of my passions is helping veterans,” Truman says, “and especially those who have sacrificed so much for the freedoms and liberties that we enjoy. It’s kind of my way of giving back, to show appreciation for what they’ve done.”

He participated in a particularly unique chance to give back this summer, bringing a piece of history to the eldest veterans in the community. On a quiet Friday in August, Truman enabled four World War II veterans to take to the sky in a B-25 bomber, an icon of aerial combat introduced and made famous during the same war.

Truman has served on the board of the Honor Flight Bluegrass Chapter for the last three years. The nonprofit volunteer organization pays tribute to American veterans with events throughout Kentucky, prioritizing senior veterans in the community for their valiance decades ago. Together with Honor Flight, Truman co-sponsored the bomber’s appearance in Louisville. “I think

-Karl Truman great experience,” Truman recalls. “One veteran that I sat with was actually awarded a Purple Heart in World War II, Korea and Vietnam. I know they were all so appreciative of getting to go up in the bomber.”

it’s the responsibility of local businesses to contribute back to the community,” he says.

Prior to Honor Flight’s B-25 Flightless Dinner for WWII Veterans on August 12, Truman and the selected veterans took off from Bowman Field for a special flight in the twin-engine aircraft. The event coincided with Spirit of ’45 day, an annual national holiday commemorating the end of World War II. “I got to go up with them, and that was a

The plane’s prominence in American military history comes from its use during the Tokyo Raid, during which Lieutenant Colonel James Doolittle led an air strike on Japan shortly after the attack on Pearl Harbor, boosting American morale at an otherwise frightening and uncertain time. “It looks like a really large airplane, but when you’re inside, it feels really small,” Truman explains.

“To think about flying those off an air carrier and being attacked – it’s just an amazing feeling to think about the bravery that these men exhibited to accomplish what they did.”

The veterans who enjoyed the flight were chosen on a first-come first-served basis. “I put the word out on social media and contacted the local American Legion chapter that I belong to and started getting some suggestions. We just selected the first ones that were able to go.”

Though the B-25 flight holds a special place in Truman’s long list of contributions, he promptly moved forward to subsequent worthwhile events including the Warrior Empowerment Foundation’s recent annual fundraiser and Seven Counties’ Run with Our Heroes 5K on November 6. Still, he recalls the flight with utmost fondness and hopes to see the bomber in the future.

ave Parks went from an aimless teen to senior vice president and co-owner of a highly successful real estate company – a transition he says would not have been possible without his time in the military.

Parks served in the Marine Corps for 20 years and was an active duty Marine captain awaiting retirement on 9/11. Now president-elect of the Louisville Board of Realtors, Parks is co-owner of Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices Parks & Weisberg, Realtors along with his sister, Judie Parks-Gornett.

After graduating from Saint Xavier High School, Parks enrolled at Bellarmine but dropped out during his first semester. “I was a hot mess,” he admits. “I wanted to change my life but I just didn’t see a path.”

At 19, he was working as a bank teller, Domino’s Pizza manager and property manager for a 40-unit apartment complex. “It wasn’t that I didn’t work hard. I worked about 70 hours a week,” he recalls. “I just didn’t see any future in it. ... I was a bright young man without a lot of direction. I walked into a Marine recruiting station and he asked me, ‘What makes you think you can be a Marine?’ Only he used a few more expletives.”

Co-owner of Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices Parks & Weisberg, Realtors and former Marine Dave Parks.

“I can’t say enough about what the Marines have done for me in every area of my life. In every part of my life, it touches my success.”

For the next 20 years, the Marine Corps was home. “Probably in my 12th week of boot camp, I knew that I was in the right spot,” he affirms.

When he reenlisted after his initial four-year commitment he entered officer training. “I put in a lot of thought before I decided to take it on,” he says. “When I was an enlisted guy, I was in charge of people, but the really tough decisions were left to someone senior to me.”

Over his military career Parks served as an

aircraft maintenance officer and as a recruiter, retiring as assistant for officer procurement.

In 1986, he married his wife, Jennifer, now a CPA and an accounting manager for the Kentucky Medical Association. They have two daughters, Kate and Jessica. “My wife is amazing. She is one of the strongest, most supportive men or women I have ever known in my life,” he says. “She’s patient, she’s kind, she’s resilient and she’s tough.”

Both attended Ohio State University, where Parks received his bachelors of science and business administration in 1992 through the Marine Corps Enlisted Commissioning Educational Program.

“I was a staff sergeant while at OSU,” he explains. “They leave you on active duty. Your job is to be a good student.” He did his job well, graduating magna cum laude.

“There’s no question my experiences as a Marine are why I did better in college the second time,” he says. “I can’t say enough about

13

what the Marines have done for me in every area of my life. In every part of my life, it touches my success.”

Although he retired in 2001, Parks stays active with local Marines and serves on the board of the Marine Corps Coordinating Council of Kentucky.

By 2008, his mother, Pat Parks, and her partners in Parks & Weisberg were ready to retire. Today, Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices Parks & Weisberg, Realtors has around 100 agents and staff in three offices in Louisville and Southern Indiana handling residential and commercial real estate and property management.

The military has helped Parks with “about 50 things,” he says. “Whether it’s leading people, whether it’s keeping your head calm and moving forward through tough markets or the courage to plan and execute that plan even in the face of adversity.” VT V O I C E -T R I B U N E .

The museum welcomed more than 218,220 visitors through its doors during fiscal year 2016, an increase of 12.6 percent over prior year.

Admissions revenue was up 18.3 percent, special events and rentals increased 10.1 percent and retail saw a 3 percent increase from fiscal year 2015. Sponsorships and donations were also up significantly, led by a $750,000 grant from the James Graham Brown Foundation to update the museum’s signature exhibit, The Greatest Race. In addition, the museum marked the 30th anniversary of its gala, its largest yearly fundraiser, with the most successful event in the last five years.

“With an outstanding team leading the way, the museum continues to grow and flourish. We’ve seen great success with new and expanded tours in partnership with Churchill Downs Racetrack, an increased, targeted marketing and advertising campaign, exciting special events and museum upgrades.

We believe this is just the start of what is possible here at the Museum,” Kentucky Derby Museum President Patrick Armstrong said. “We are proud to be the keepers of the legacy of the Kentucky Derby while taking an innovative approach to the future of the Museum and a one-of-a-kind visitor experience. We look forward to reaching even greater heights.”

DOCTORS RESTORE OLD MEDICAL SCHOOL TO PROVIDE “HOME” FOR FAMILIES FACING CRISIS Physicians of the Greater Louisville Medical Society Foundation recognized the monumental legacy of the city’s Old Medical School and saved it from the wrecking ball. Built in 1892, this historic structure, originally the Louisville Medical College at 101 W. Chestnut St., was meticulously restored over several decades and will ultimately become an expanded home-away-from-home for families of children receiving treatment at downtown hospitals.

“When a child is hurting, there’s no stronger medicine than the love and support of family,” said GLMS Foundation president Dr. K. Thomas Reichard, who led the effort to transfer ownership to the Ronald McDonald House Charities of Kentuckiana. “The building will serve as an extension of physician care to children while standing as a fitting tribute to Louisville’s incredible medical heritage.”

RMHCK Executive Director Hal Hedley said, “We are grateful.

Close proximity to the downtown medical center is important to the families we serve as we expand our services in the future. Thank you to the doctors for the care they provide to children and for their incredible restoration efforts.”

The GLMS Foundation rescued and restored the building after it was abandoned in the 1970s when UofL built new medical school facilities. Drs. Richard S. Wolf and Robert S. Howell were the primary physicians who oversaw renovations and secured a listing in the National Registry of Historic Places. Many of Louisville’s most revered doctors taught and trained inside the halls of this magnificent Romanesque structure, designed by well-known architects Clarke and Loomis.

Mary Rose Allgeier Mary Rose Allgeier, 96, of Louisville, passed away Saturday, November 5, 2016 at Nazareth Home.

Born Mary Rose Schmidt on August 5, 1920, and raised on a farm in Jeffersontown, KY, she was the youngest of seven children and the only girl. In 1943, she wedded Edward Lee Allgeier, at that time a soldier in WWII. After his discharge, they and their first-born son, Charles Edward, moved temporarily into two rooms (kitchen and bedroom) with a shared outhouse on a vegetable farm across from what is now the Springs Shopping Center. There the second child was born, also a boy, Dennis Bernard, and within two years, they built their home in Ed’s familiar stomping grounds of Camp Taylor. Soon thereafter, a third son, Gary Lee, was born.

They faithfully attended Holy Family Church and were active in the parish. She fully embraced the life of a wife and mother and all the joy and potential heartbreak that can contain. One such heartbreak was the tragic death of her second son at the age of 18, from which she (and the family) never really recovered. After Ed’s death in 2000, she continued to reside in their homestead until moving into an independent living arrangement, where, after living with and raising males for her entire here-tofore life, she grew to appreciate a new found sense of compassion and sisterhood.

Mary Rose is survived by her two sons Charles Edward and Gary Lee; a daughter-inlaw, M.A.; four grandchildren, Amy, Jesse, Jacob and Jaclyn; six great-grandchildren; and her favorite niece, Gail, who was like a daughter to her. Her family and friends will always remember and cherish her calm, patient and loving demeanor.

With one more rushing touchdown, Jackson will join Johnny Manziel, Tim Tebow and Cam Newton as the only players in FBS history to throw and rush for 20 scores in a single season. In a little over a month, he figures to join that trio as members of another exclusive club as well.

In 10 weeks, Jackson has gone from Heisman Trophy darkhorse to the man who has taken all the drama out of the race to win the highest-profile individual award in all of American sports. There are some who are now advocating that Jackson be the only player invited to the Heisman ceremony and that ESPN should turn its annual television coverage into a onehour tribute to the remarkable season he’s had. That won’t happen, but it might as well.

According to one of the most prominent sports books in Las Vegas, Jackson will head into this weekend’s game against Wake Forest as the 1/30 favorite to win the Heisman.

That means if you wanted to make $100 off successfully wagering on Jackson to win the award, you would have to bet $3,000.

All these numbers represent the once inconceivable world that Lamar Jackson has created. He is currently on pace to rack up more total yards than any of the 79 players to win the Heisman before him and to account for more touchdowns in one season than any player in the history of college football.

As difficult as it may be, the next time Jackson puts up numbers in a game that would have warranted a parade in any other year, let’s try and react with something a bit stronger than “there he goes again.” VT

The “Little Three.” kinds of turnovers at the worst time. A team St. Bonaventure is in Olean, New York, so lacking in offensive balance that as you’re about 75 miles south of Buffalo. It has been in screaming at the TV for a run, some pass is some NCAA tourneys. Back then, its headline called along the sidelines into double coverage. player was Bob Lanier. Niagara College is in And when it looks like a pass is needed to move Niagara Falls, New York, about 20 miles north the chains, another Wildcat run into the crowd of Buffalo. Back then, its headline player was by a brave, willing freshman who just had to be gassed.

Calvin Murphy.

Sitting centrally within Buffalo’s city limits is Canisius College. It had no Lanier or Murphy, but it stuck its chin right into the scrum nonetheless. And it handled itself pretty well. In February that season, a player named Andy Anderson scored 46 points against LaSalle. LaSalle once won a national title.

It played its home games at the old Buffalo Memorial Auditorium. And visiting teams that came in – schools like Syracuse, St. John’s, Providence – knew the Golden Griffins would give them a battle. Often, the local referees would give them a battle as well.

Its big fight every year was against St. Bonaventure – “Bona” in the local idiom. The Jesuits against the Franciscans.

On a cold, snowy, blustery Saturday night in February, in the old Aud smelling of cigarettes, onions, beer and sausages, a Canisius-Bona game might as well have been Kentucky/ Louisville.

Everybody you knew in Buffalo had probably gone to one school or the other. So whether you were Bonnie or Griff, Tonawonda or Cheektowaga, Iroquois Beer or Simon Pure, on one winter night in the Aud, snow swirling outside, there was a basketball game going on that wasn’t just basketball – it was redemption or burning forever in hell.

Cat fans can relate. VT

But in the end, the game didn’t matter. Kentucky sits where everybody hoped it would be and where nobody thought it would be during two early September weekends: about to become bowl-eligible.

That was the target from the time camp opened in August. Competing for an SEC divisional title will come. This year is about finally locking the bowl gremlin in the attic and getting the magical sixth win.

And so it will be, unless fate is really a grim trickster, a streetcorner three-card-monte hustler who placed Austin Peay on Kentucky’s schedule as the ultimate bait-and-switch. The Governors from Clarksville, Tennessee, 0-7, are the sixth win on UK’s schedule, the one the Cats could never quite grab hold of the last two years.

Yes, there’s also Tennessee and Louisville, two teams that bring enough emotion into the contest that there might be an “anything-can-happen” element going on.

QB Stephen Johnson rushed for -5 yards versus Georgia. He passed for 103 yards.

Briscoe Brings the Leadership Isaiah Briscoe is not the norm in Lexington. A highly rated high school recruit, he is back for a sophomore season. After averaging 9.6 points and 5.3 rebounds per game as a freshman, the New Jersey native decided to return to Lexington for another year. He is expected to lead another talented group of newcomers on a Kentucky team ranked No. 2 in the preseason by the Associated Press. Briscoe focused on improving his shot in the offseason. As a freshman, he hit just 43.9 percent (132-301) of his field goal attempts and just 13.5 percent (5-37) of his three-point attempts. The Cats tip off their season on Friday night at 7 p.m. in Rupp Arena, hosting Stephen F. Austin.

How much better is your shot?

A lot better. I still have got a ways to go. Still improving, but I’m in the gym, just working. It’s my fault that the question is being asked. Don’t run from it – fix it and embrace it.

Was there a time when you thought you might turn pro?

KENT TAYLOR WAVE3 Sports

Yeah, and it was starting with the first NBA workout. I think I did well in all of them. I got positive feedback from all of the teams, and there was a point in time when I thought about going to the NBA. I didn’t want to rush it and I knew coming back here that I would come back with open arms from the coaching staff. I spoke with Cal, spoke with KP, and they said, “You laid your groundwork down for this year coming up. You showed them what you could do, now you come back for a second year, you do what you got to do.

The same time next year, everything will just play itself out.” I liked the way that sounded, so I came back – and I trust those guys 100 percent with my future – and I’m back here for another year. I’m excited I came back.

Do you have any kind of relationship with Kyrie Irving?

Yeah, that’s my cousin.

him – how to be a leader and how to lead by example. I feel as though with me coming back for my second year, Coach expects me to be a leader, and I feel as though I want to take on the challenge. I want to be the leader of the team.

Is that a comfortable role for you?

I’m not new to being a leader. My high school team, I led them my last year, we won a championship. Back in AAU, when we won Peach Jam, I had a group of young guys. VT

How often do you talk?

We talk whenever. He was busy during the playoffs, so we didn’t really talk or anything. But I speak to him a lot.

What is it like when your cousin hits the game-winning shot in game seven of the NBA Finals?

I was just watching – I was excited. I was jumping in my seat and all that. More importantly, I was happy because that was his first championship, and I thought last year they were going to win it but he went down. I was happy.

What kind of advice has he given you about this process?

Just stay levelheaded. Stay the course, continue to work hard, don’t get complacent and everything will fall into place.

Wildcat Isaiah Briscoe returns for a sophomore season.

When you are that close to experiencing it, how mind-boggling are the NBA salaries?

Carter Leaving a Positive Mark

very high school senior wants to leave a positive lasting impression on his or her school and athletic program – and rightfully so. It’s their chance to ride off into the sunset at the end of their high school story and confidently answering the question, “What will you be remembered for?”

and I am blessed to have them in my life.”

to Odell.

Highlight plays and senior leadership aren’t created overnight, and for Carter, his parents have played a major role in making him the young man he is today. He expresses that his mom and dad were the High School most influential figures in his life, Sports Report and he has learned to not take it granted: “They’re both indepenRANDY dent people. Even though I know WHETSTONE JR. they go through some ups and downs, they always keep their children first, and I love that. I appreciate them in my life and I am just blessed to have them.

At Manual High School, Jaelin Carter, also They’re always taking care of me, getting me known as “Jayy Byrd,” has learned invalu- to and from practice when I didn’t have a car, able lessons through the sport of football and feeding me and keeping shelter over my head, believes he’s been able to embody responsibility as a teammate as this athlete writes his final few pages to an epic high school career.

Aside from football accolades, lessons he’s put into practice and stressing the importance of family relationships, the easygoing and affable Carter solidifies his mark on his school and the Manual football program by sending this message: “Just do what you love. Don’t let anyone pressure you into playing sports.

If you don’t like sports, then play chess. Play what you like and play what you love. God is always going to love you, no matter how people try to judge you; you are always going to be loved by God. So just do what you love.

“I love the game and you are supposed to have fun doing what you love. I have only been playing since fifth grade, but I love the game and I feel like I can make it big.” VT

“[Football] taught me how to be responsible and not to be selfish,” he says. “In little league, I always got the ball, and in high school, you have to know that you have to do what you have to do for your team to win. It taught me responsibility and to love all my brothers. It is my last year and my senior year, and things are different. It is starting to hit me.

I am thankful, and I thank God for him allowing me to play each and every day.”

This senior year was a tad different for Carter. In Scott Carmony’s first season as head coach, he told Jaelin he would try to get the gifted receiver the pigskin as much as possible. By being utilized as a wide receiver, punt returner, kick returner and even a running back, he’s accounted for 741 all-purpose yards (more than any other teammate) and six touchdowns.

The added responsibility was a testament to his versatility. Regardless of how he got the ball, Carter says he just wanted to do what he could do to help his team get a win.

“There are some guys who God has blessed with a lot of ability, and Jaelin is one of them,” says Carmony. “But he has gotten better every week and he is conscious of things he needs to work on. And he is real coachable when it comes to that.”

When compared to NFL talent, Carter says his skillset resembles Odell Beckham Jr. of the New York Giants. Now aside from the one-handed catch Jaelin made his junior season that had shades of Odell all over it – where he outstretched his arm, falling back in the end zone to make the play – Jaelin says his flexibility and good hands is what likens him N O V E M B E R 1 0 , 2 0 1 6 • V O I C E -T R I B U N E .

It was a bittersweet, nostalgic event. Many in the audience had their high school or college graduation ceremonies there and had marched in to the sound of the great Pilcher instrument. It is reputed to be the largest organ of its kind ever to be built.

It had a setback in 2015 when thawing ice on the roof sent cascades of water through the roof and onto the organ and its more than 5,000 pipes! It has taken thousands of hours over the last few years for the volunteers and professionals to restore and maintain the organ, and they are still at it! But the results are spectacular!

Last week, a concert was presented on the organ for the first time in almost six years.

After a 60-minute concert of various musical pieces that show off the organ well, it was played to accompany a Laurel and Hardy silent film. The event helped raise money for more restoration and was sponsored by the William H. Bauer Foundation, the Bluegrass Chapter of the American Theater Organ Society and the Louisville Chapter of the American Guild of Organists.

Young Donnie Rankin from Ravinia, Ohio, one of the best young organists in the country, played the magnificent instrument.

Pilcher originated in England and had offices in New York, Chicago and Louisville. The grand organ was the largest ever built by our Pilcher and Sons Organ Company.

Tim Baker, organist and foundation president, has worked on and played the organ for 43 years and is the organist at Harvey Browne Presbyterian Church.

Most of the work on the organ has been donated. A concert is being planned in the near future in honor and memory of those who have worked on the organ. It is a spectacular instrument and it takes you back in time to when you were young and bussed to Memorial Auditorium to attend the Louisville Orchestra “Making Music” concerts conducted by Robert Whitney.

SPOTLIGHT

Feast On Equality

To empower and provide opportunities for the city’s at-risk LGBT youth, Feast On Equality will be held November 18 at The Henry Clay.

To get a better understanding of the event and its extraordinary history, we caught up with Feast On Equality Founder Tommy Arnold.

What is Feast on Equality?

Feast On Equality is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization with the sole purpose of raising funds for at-risk LGBT youth by hosting our signature fundraising events to engage the community and create awareness surrounding the issues that our LGBT youth face. Funds raised will directly impact their lives and create countless opportunities that they wouldn’t have received otherwise.

What can guests expect at the event?

The evening begins November 18 at 7 p.m. at The Henry Clay with a cocktail hour and passed hors d’oeuvres. At 8:30, we will move into the main ballroom for our three-course dinner where we begin our program. We will have a few guest speakers that will share their stories of how their organizations impact LGBT youth in our community. In addition, we will have a video presentation featuring the personal life stories of a handful of these young adults and how these organizations have helped changed the course of their lives.

At the end of our program, we will begin our auction. As our guests from years past already know, this isn’t your ordinary auction. We don’t auction off any items. We simply auction off sponsorship levels that will fund the programs of the organizations that Feast On Equality supports. Over the course of the past four years, we’ve raised over $500,000 that will provide services and support for our youth that they wouldn’t have received otherwise.

Feast On Equality is proud to announce that we will present the 2016 LGBT Leadership Award to Craig Scherman in honor of the impact that his philanthropic work has had on our community.

Why is the event important for the LGBTQ and greater community?

Feast On Equality isn’t just an event; it’s a symbol of hope for our entire community.

This is an opportunity for our community to come together as one to have a direct impact on LGBT youths’ lives.

How has the event grown over the years?

One afternoon in September 2008, I received a phone call from a friend of mine, Brian Buford, the director of LGBT Center at the University of Louisville. He reached out to me because he was looking for a community member to get involved with his center to learn about the services that he provides to his students. I set up a meeting with his students to conduct a simple question and answer session to have a better idea of the scope of Brian’s work as well as the needs of the students at the LGBT Center. After having met with the students, I met Brian privately where I asked the question, “What do they need right now?” Brian shared with me that eight students had just come out as LGBT and had been turned away by their families for Thanksgiving. It was that very moment that I told Brian that I didn’t care if it was his house or mine, but we would have Thanksgiving dinner for these students. The numbers grew overnight and had increased to upward of 80 students. By the time the last student went through the line, we had served around 115.

This was the birth of an annual event known as the Alternative Thanksgiving that we offer at the LGBT Center. The second year of the Alternative Thanksgiving, we served about 250 students, and the following years have

48

been much the same.

Having started the Alternative Thanksgiving, I found myself drawn in by the energy of the students. After the second year, I began to dream of ways to harness this powerful energy and focusing it toward the greater good for the LGBT Center because doing an event once a year simply isn’t enough for these students.

In February 2012, I formed a committee, and together, we established Feast On Equality.

After speaking in front of hundreds of people to raise awareness, we had a wildly successful inaugural event on November 16, 2012, and raised over $86,000. In 2013, our event sold out at 475 guests and raised over $104,000. In 2014, our event continued to grow and sold out at 500 guests and raised over $140,000.

In 2015, we broke another record by raising over $200,000! Feast On Equality is proud to have raised over $500,000 in our four years of existence.

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

Given the impact that Feast On Equality has had across UofL’s campus, we are broadening our reach across the community. In addition to the LGBT Center at UofL, we will be supporting LGBT programs at Bellarmine Univeristy, Louisville Youth Group and other organizations that focus on issues surrounding our LGBT youth.

urs is a world of diets and food trends.

Maybe you need to go on a juice cleanse. Or eat less red meat. Or get less fat and more protein.

But for Louisville chef Anoosh Shariat, it isn’t really that complicated. “My motto is to eat well and love life,” he says.

involved around food.”

Health & Wellness BAYLEE PULLIAM

That’s the message of “Compassion & Cooking,” a breakfast series he’s hosting at Noosh Nosh, his casual Mediterranean-Italian joint on Brownsboro Road. The series marries Shariat’s food philosophy with lessons in mindfulness and well-being.

Just as in blending ingredients and spices in cooking, Shariat says being “well” is about balance and discipline. It takes both to separate the desire for food from its purpose.

“There’s this mindset,” he says, “you say, ‘I’m doing this to nourish my body.’”

The series is a partnership with Carlos Rivas, director of health and well-being at ProFormance, LLC. At each session, Rivas will cover topics ranging from nutrition to exercise physiology and performance psychology. The idea is to help attendees be more productive, resilient and energized through mindfulness – being more aware of not only what you’re eating but why, and how it affects your mind and body.

“We emphasize the connection of your thoughts, which lead to feelings, which lead to your actions,” Rivas says. “Mindful eating allows us to pay attention to emotional connections to food and the relationships

For example, you may indulge in more or less healthful food when you’re feeling stressed or sad. Or, when you’re happy and celebrating.

“Thinking about why you eat and when you eat will help you to start utilizing food in a proper way,” he relates. “You want to think of food as fuel.”

And as with fuel for your car, there are different grades of food fuel. There’s what Rivas calls “premium fuel,” such as fruits, veggies and lean meats, which give your body energy.

And then there’s “junk food, also called comfort food or treats, which leads to lethargy and disease,” Rivas says. “It’s your choice.”

Shariat says he’s been making that choice for about a quarter of a century as a vegetarian. He and his wife connected with Rivas a few years ago when they wanted to get serious about exercise.

Rivas’ and Shariat’s philosophies aligned, and they decided to launch this breakfast series a few weeks ago to spread the message of eating right and being well.

LIFE

Mindful Meals of the Louisville dining scene, has owned Shariat’s, Browning’s Restaurant and Brewery, Park Place and, more recently, Anoosh Bistro.

Earlier this year, he opened Noosh Nosh, where the menu carries dishes like pizza, flatbreads, pasta and sandwiches. But Shariat says eating well shouldn’t mean choosing between health and flavor.

Plenty of options on his menu are marked as gluten-free, vegan or vegetarian. Shariat says it just takes finesse – a mastery of raw ingredients, aromatics and fresh herbs and spices.

“You can have good flavors,” he says. “It can be exciting.”

Each session in the breakfast series will be held at 9 a.m. on the third Thursday of the month, starting November 17. The $20 admission includes breakfast, a recipe from chef Shariat and a discussion on well-being from Rivas. VT For more information, call Rebecca at 502.690.6585.

GETTING BETTER JUST KEEPS GETTING BETTER.

“If you don’t do it early on, you pay for it later,” Shariat says.

Fashion Forward This Fall

s we (finally!) move toward cooler weather, it’s time to get serious about fall fashion. To get the latest on what’s trending this season, we spoke with Katie Meinhart, store manager of Apricot Lane Boutique in Westport Village.

layered with longer necklaces for a bolder look.

Fashion MARIAH KLINE

“A big trend we’re seeing this year are cold shoulder tops,” Meinhart reveals. “We’re also switching it up with denim since jeans are a staple in life in life that you can’t live without. We have several distressed, ripped styles or some with an unfinished hem on the bottom. Pairing some distressed skinny jeans with cute booties and a long sweater will make you very on trend.”

One trend that came about last year and is staying put this year is the super comfy blanket scarf. For the perfect look at a football game or outdoor event, Meinhart suggests pairing a blanket scarf with a puffer vest for an outfit that’s both cute and cozy.

Another accessory making a triumphant return is the choker. While we’re not sure how this accessory from the ’90s suddenly resurfaced, we’re looking forward to seeing how people will wear them today. Thankfully, chokers can be worn as a single piece or

Going into the cooler November weather, outfits that keep you warm while staying on trend are an absolute must. Meinhart recommends wearing a nice pair of fleece-lined leggings, boot socks with tall boots and a comfy sweater. If you have a sweater you want to wear with leggings but is a bit too short, wear it with a skirt extender.

“Skirt extenders are perfect,” she says. “We have several with cute lace or crochet detailing on the bottom, and they provide an extra layer to keep you warm. And to finish the outfit off, pair it with a trench coat or a felt hat.”

For a fun and cozy Thanksgiving or friendsgiving outfit, try a sleeveless dress with a soft, heavy fabric during dinner preparations, and then throw a sweater or blazer on top once dinner is served and you’re not as warm. For a more casual look, try a cold shoulder top with jeans and booties.

You can find all of these fun fall looks at Apricot Lane’s Louisville location. Since the women’s store is a franchise, they’re given the benefit of “a sisterhood of stores.” Being able to reach out to other locations allows them to restock if they sell out of a certain item, giving customers the best possible selection. In addition to their well-stocked boutique, Apricot Lane also offers an online store. Set up through shoptiques.com, their online shop has any item that can be purchased in store.

From out-of-season cargo shorts to combat boots and now military jackets, it’s no secret we look up to our country’s heroic protectors.

From decorate-your-own cupcake stations to the scientific wonder that is bourbon ice, there was plenty of creativity on display.

To bring said transitional look into the family room, Bailey took apart and redid the entire staircase. “It was really challenging,” he says. “It looked like someone who had no experience had built it.” Today, its wooden columns have a traditional feel, while metal railings give it a modern twist. “It dressed up the family room,” Mary Jane says. “Well, the whole house, really.”

Aided by Wong (Benedict Wong), Mordo (Chiwetel Ejiofor) and Strange’s former medical colleague Christine Palmer (Rachel McAdams), Strange sets out to save the world in mind-bending action set pieces, which have almost as much awe-inspiring visual inventiveness as 1999’s “The Matrix” and 2010’s “Inception.”

3 OUT OF 4 WHOLE STARS

I am still thankful that these Marvel movies continue to bring in unlikely directors. In the case of “Doctor Strange,” Scott Derrickson seemed like a gamble, given his dark filmography of varying quality, which includes the effectively creepy “Sinister” from 2012 and the abominably joyless 2008 remake of “The Day the Earth Stood Still.” Derrickson does an excellent job at finding ways to involve us with a cold-spirited protagonist on a journey to enlightenment. The film starts off with a dreary palette but slowly brings about more bright and colorful sequences, which are rather mesmerizing. I only wish that the film would give its action a backseat to the plot at times.

What we have here is a typical Marvel action movie snack – but with a new flavor.

The only problem is that this flavor is so alluring that I wonder what it would have been like as a full-course meal. This is the frustration that comes with the serialization of mainstream cinema: Future installments are inevitable, so why bother getting everything right?

Like every entertaining entry in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, things feel as if they could use more development and clarity, but even the philosophical “Doctor Strange” can’t get that into itself. VT

There was an extensive application process in order for organizations to receive the book, and it was a joint application from the Frazier History Museum, the University of Louisville and the Louisville Free Public Library that snagged the spot for Kentucky.

Other collaborators participating in the city-wide celebration are Actors Theatre of Louisville, The Bard’s Town, Bellarmine University, CenterStage, Commonwealth Theatre Center, JCPS, Looking for Lilith Theatre Company, Louisville Ballet, the Louisville Improvisers, Louisville Orchestra, Muhammad Ali Center, Savage Rose Theatre Company, the Speed Art Museum and so many more.

“They wanted to see how elaborate and creative we could get, and that’s what we’re trying to do,” says Rabin.

All of these organizations have converged to celebrate what truly is a singular moment in the history of theater and the written word. “The First Folio is, without question, one of the most important books ever printed,” states Rabin.

He goes on to say that without the First Folio, 18 of Shakespeare’s plays would likely not have survived. These include some of his most prominent plays such as “The Tempest,” “Julius Caesar” and “Macbeth” – plays that are considered foundational to the Shakespeare canon.

Jodi Lewis, the Frazier’s director of public programs, and Andrew Rabin, a professor of English at UofL partnered with a third collaborator in Paul Burns of the Louisville Free Public Library in order to strengthen their application, which was accepted from a pool of over 100 other candidates. “What the Folger and NEH required from the “Also, the First Folio applicants was that Title page with Droeshout engraving of Shakespeare. is the second ever the application had to complete works of an come from multiple organizations so that no sin- author that had ever been printed,” adds Rabin. gle organization could claim ownership over the “It was over 900 pages.

Shakespeare was alive, authors and playwrights were considered marginal figures. The idea today that we think of authorship as being of importance, that we award a Nobel Prize in literature, has a lot to do with Shakespeare, and

the First Folio is a testament to that.”

When patrons at the Frazier walk into the exhibit, they will see the book opened to the famous “To be or not to be” monologue from “Hamlet.” It’s a work that may be considered pedestrian today, but at the time, it was revolutionary for the work of a playwright to be highly sought after and featured prominently in the homes of the upper class.

Perhaps there is only one way to illustrate how much unheard of the cost for binding Shakespeare’s works together was. “In the currency of the time, it was a few pounds, but that translates today to about $500,” says Rabin. Despite this initial price, Shakespeare has found his way into every corner of the world and translated into nearly every language, and we should all celebrate where our civilization has been able to go because of him. VT “First Folio! The Book that Gave Us Shakespeare” will be at the Frazier History Museum (829 W. Main St.) from November 10 to December 10. The Frazier is open from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Saturday and noon to 5 p.m. on Sunday. For more information, visit fraziermuseum.org or call 502.753.5663.

Abusive Boyfriend Consumed by Video Games Reveals Himself a Loser

D

EAR ABBY: I have been dating “Ian” for seven months. We met at work, and my friends convinced me to go out with him. I thought he was a nice guy, just shy. Now that we’ve been dating, I realize that’s not the case.

didn’t have the skill, and I don’t know what to do.

Dear Abby JEANNE PHILLIPS

Ian plays video games A LOT. They consume his life. He gets so aggravated that he slams buttons and curses incessantly. My nerves can’t handle hearing it. I have anxiety issues, and when he does it, I nearly have a panic attack. When I tell him it’s just a game, he won’t listen.

He is also critical of me. It’s mostly about my weight, but he also tells me I’m horrible and stupid. He complains about the way I play video games, my cooking, etc. Sometimes he loses his temper and snaps at me. He has slapped me a few times.

He’s never intimate with me, but I know he’s straight because he watches porn when he thinks I’m asleep. We pretty much lead separate lives, but he talks about us getting our own place. We no longer work at the same company. I have a part-time job and go to school full time, but he won’t even look for a job.

Part of me wants to end it. But this is my first real relationship, and I’m not sure if I can do any better. Help! – CONFLICTED IN VIRGINIA DEAR CONFLICTED: End it NOW! You are looking at this the wrong way. From where I sit, it would be practically impossible for you to have a worse relationship than this one. Ian is immature, emotionally and physically abusive and unemployed. Men who care about women don’t treat them the way he treats you.

Ian should not move anywhere with you. If he does, you will have a heck of a time getting this freeloader out. Not only that, you won’t be able to find anyone else because it will appear that you’re already “involved.”

••• DEAR ABBY: I hear people all around me talk about their grandkids and the great times they have. I have grandkids too, but I don’t know how to be a grandmother. My mother N O V E M B E R 1 0 , 2 0 1 6 • V O I C E -T R I B U N E . C O M

I’m in my early 50s, and I’m trying to do things now that I didn’t get to do when I was young. I raised my kids. Am I supposed to spend all my time with them? I’m not sure I even want to. Does that make me selfish? – LOST GRANDMA IN VIRGINIA

DEAR LOST GRANDMA: You don’t have to spend “all” your time with your grandchildren. You should, however, see them every few weeks if possible so you can get to know each other.

Because you’re not sure how to do that, ask their parents and some of your friends for suggestions on how to entertain them. It could be as simple as taking them to a movie, attending some of their school or sporting events, baking cookies together or taking them to a park during an afternoon.

••• DEAR ABBY: Are parents of the bride required to foot the cost of the wedding (averaging over $25,000 in the U.S. nowadays) anymore? I understand they were years ago, when it was a part of her dowry, but in modern times I have heard of such a thing only in your column – unless the family is rich and Daddy pays for everything.

I can’t imagine asking my parents to pay for my wedding. My fiance and I are aiming for – dress included – $1,000 or less. Are parents actually expected to spend thousands on their daughter’s wedding? It’s their daughter and son-in-law who want it. – JUST ASKING IN BRITISH COLUMBIA DEAR JUST ASKING: No. A wedding is a GIFT, and while it would be generous for the parents to pitch in, there is no requirement that they do so.

••• DEAR ABBY: My husband was recently offered a new job that carries with it a significant increase in salary as well as upward mobility. He was offered the job by a woman he used to work with years ago. She will be his new boss.

It was recently brought to my attention that not only were they co-workers, they also used

60

to sleep together. He tells me there’s absolutely nothing there and that I don’t need to be worried. However, I can’t help but wonder why they have maintained contact for all these years and why she sought him out to work for her.

She is also married, and I wonder if her husband knows their history and if he would be OK with his wife’s request to work with a former lover.

Am I overreacting? Or should people cut off contact with their exes once they are married? Should I be worried about a physical or emotional affair? I just don’t have a good feeling about this. Thank you for your help. – NEEDS AN OBJECTIVE OPINION DEAR NEEDS: In a situation like this, much depends upon the individuals involved and the circumstances of the breakup. Not all romances end acrimoniously. Sometimes they gradually diminish and the people involved move on.

It would be interesting to know who told you your husband and this woman were once lovers. If it was your husband, I think you have less to be concerned about than if it was someone “trying to be helpful.” It is possible that the woman contacted your husband because she is familiar with his work ethic and his abilities and thinks he would be the best person for the job.

That said, however, there are four people involved in this situation. And your question about whether her husband is aware of their history is a good one, because he should be.

••• DEAR ABBY: I have a suggestion for your readers who take prescription medication.

When they are finished with it, they should peel the label off the bottle, stick it to a piece of paper and send it through a shredder.

These labels contain a lot of personal information. If they fall into the wrong hands, they could become shopping lists for drug addicts and our landfills could become their next source. Better to be safe than sorry, if for no other reason than privacy. – CHET IN KENTUCKY DEAR CHET: I agree!
