Convenience dictates most of the decisions of my life these days. Please allow me to characterize it as “convenience” in avoidance of recognizing what it truly is sometimes – pure laziness. I hope I’m not alone in admitting that this leads to failed judgment at times. It also leads to a far too familiar relationship with my USPS, UPS and FedEx delivery professionals. Somewhere along the way, I have convinced myself that meals, clothes and toiletry items need to be ordered from my computer: bonus points if I can do it from my phone in bed at night while The Real Housewives of whatever yell at each other in the background. I joined the jubilation of busy moms when my local Kroger launched ClickList, allowing me to retrieve my groceries without having to unload my children or even get out of my car, and I too often defer to a certain online mega retailer with free two-day shipping.

My shortcut to consumerism has to stop, and this week’s feature story on Small Business Saturday has convinced me of that. It is our responsibility to support our locally owned, independent businesses throughout the holiday and year-round.

These businesses are part of the creative energy that gives our city an identity – that makes Louisville cool and quirky and keeps it recognizably “weird.” These pockets of unique personality are Tonya Abeln what make our city great.

As Thomas Pack points out in “A Big Day for Small Business,” shopping locally creates jobs and “helps conserve energy and resources because it lessens the amount of fuel used to transport goods.” Think also of the personal touch and human interaction that is missed – and I’m not talking Black Friday brawls here. Featured business co-owner Natalie Gerlack of Lulubelles says, “We will be burning our new holiday signature scent, Frasier Fir. You can expect our boutique to be cozy, festive and a little whimsical.” Mo McKnight Howe, owner of Revelry Boutique Gallery says they will offer free gift wrapping this Saturday. You don’t get those extra efforts from a dot com.

This holiday season, grab a copy of the Louisville Independent Business Alliance (LIBA) guide to local shopping and join me in a commitment to supporting our city by supporting the big dreams of small businesses.

A Big Day for Small Business LOCAL MERCHANTS WILL CELEBRATE SMALL BUSINESS SATURDAY WITH DISCOUNTS AND SPECIAL EVENTS

A

n east end boutique will offer a 15 percent discount on nearly everything in the store. In NuLu, you’ll get free gift wrapping for special works by local artists. If you’re looking for significant savings on high-quality leather goods, you may want to head to Bardstown Road. And a St. Matthews gift shop will offer in-store promotions for products that are rarely discounted.

These are just a few of the special deals that merchants throughout the Louisville area are planning for November 26 a.k.a. Small Business Saturday.

While national chain stores get most of the attention on Black Friday and e-commerce takes a big share of shoppers’ dollars on Cyber Monday, Small Business Saturday shines a spotlight on independent, locally-owned merchants.

It’s a win-win for businesses and shoppers. Small Business Saturday will give you a chance to stretch your holiday dollars while you support Louisville’s economy and join the burgeoning buy-local movement.

HOLIDAY DOLLARS AND SCENTS Drinks, treats, giveaways and a 15 percent discount on everything except lighting – that’s how Lulubelles Boutique will celebrate November 26, which is also the shop’s anniversary.

“Last year, we opened our doors for the first time on Small Business Saturday, so [this year] we will be celebrating in a big way,” says Natalie Gerlack, who co-owns the boutique at 10638 Meeting St. in Prospect with her cousin, Gretchen Black.

Gerlack says she thinks many shoppers will be tired of fighting crowds, especially if they spent Black Friday in the malls, so they’ll be happy to “come out to Lulubelles for an enjoyable holiday experience on Saturday and Sunday. Our shop will smell like Christmas as we will be burning our new holiday signature scent, Frasier Fir. You can expect our boutique to be cozy, festive and a little whimsical, so it’s a perfect spot

both for holiday shopping and to get away from the hustle and bustle.”

Lulubelles sells vintage and modern goods, including furniture, home accessories, candles and jewelry. “We also carry lots of vintage-inspired holiday decorations and unique items only found at Lulubelles, such as hand-painted ornaments by me and Gretchen,” Gerlack says. “There is a little something for everyone – your best friend, boyfriend, baby, young child, mom, grandma. We have you covered and we have great price points and pretty packaging for gifts.

So we are hoping all of these offerings entice people to want to visit us on Small Business Saturday.”

THE ART OF SHOPPING LOCAL In the NuLu area, Mo McKnight Howe, whose title is Owner + Artist at Revelry Boutique Gallery at 742 E. Market St. says, “We will be participating in Small Business Saturday once again, and we are so excited! It’s always a great day for us. I feel like a lot of the customers that come in are ‘anti-Black Friday,’ which I love.”

But she also notes that “actually, both Black Friday and Small Business Saturday are great days” for Revelry, which promotes area artists through both an online store and a brick-and-mortar boutique. Revelry sells art as well as handmade jewelry and home decor.

“We always change up our inventory every year for Small Business Saturday,” McKnight

says. “Our artists have been preparing for months, and they’re just as excited as we are.

It’s a great time of year to make some money for us little guys.”

The store exhibits both up-and-coming and established artists from Louisville’s thriving creative community, and the goal is to make art accessible to everyone. McKnight Howe says Revelry will offer free gift wrapping on November 26, and the proceeds of the wrapper’s tip jar will benefit the American Cancer Society.

At 1601 Bardstown Road, the Leatherhead Shop will celebrate the special day by offering a 20 percent discount on everything except custom-designed products. The Leatherhead, which has been at its current location for more than three decades, sells very high quality leather goods, including bags, belts, boots and saddlery.

According to Lynn Boone, who co-owns the store with her husband Nick Boone, past Small Business Saturdays have brought the shop a definite increase in sales because “people in Louisville are really receptive to shopping at local stores.”

She and nine other merchants in the area have banded together for a campaign they’re calling Bonnycastle Gives Back on Small Business Saturday. Each of the 10 stores will offer a five to 20 percent discount, and a percentage of sales will be donated to charity.

You’ll even get to decide where the money goes from your purchases because you’ll be able to pick from a list of 10 organizations.

A BOOST FOR LOCAL ECONOMIES First celebrated in Roslindale Village, Massachusetts, on November 27, 2010, Small Business Saturday was coined by American Express, which has promoted it via radio and television commercials as well as social media.

Since then, cities and towns throughout the country have promoted their own special day for local merchants. Last year, more than 95 million consumers spent about $16.2 billion on Small Business Saturday. Of course, this is a big boost for local economies. Studies have found that $55 is reinvested in the community for every $100 dollars spent at a locally-owned store, but only $14 is reinvested from the same amount spent at a national chain store.

If you want to reinvest some of your money in the St. Matthews community, you may want to visit Two Dazzle!, where the slogan is “we make each day a gift!”

“Approaching our seventh holiday season as an independent store, we have always enjoyed participating in Small Business Saturday,” says co-owner Ronda Simmons.

You can buy wedding and baby gifts, wine- and cocktail-themed gifts and decor, casual and formal houseware gifts, girlfriend/Bunco gifts as well as such accessories as candlesticks, topiaries and both custom and pre-made silk floral arrangements.

“We have found, throughout the years, that Black Friday mainly caters to the big box stores; however, Small Business Saturday gives us the opportunity to give back,” Simmons says. “It’s an opportunity for us to thank our wonderful, loyal customers and our community for their continued support of our small, local business all year long.”

Simmons adds that “Although AmEx rewards cardholders for their purchases on this day, we also offer in-store promotions on gift lines that are rarely discounted. These promos may also include new seasonal and gift merchandise introduced for this holiday season. In the past, we’ve also offered tiered price discounts and giveaways, and this has increased store traffic and sales from year to year.”

She also notes that, “Surprisingly, not many customers take advantage of cardholder credits by using their AmEx for purchases. It appears to us that customer motivation is more about visiting small shops and boutiques, showing their support and, most importantly, shopping local.”

KEEPING THE HOLIDAYS WEIRD Shopping at locally-owned businesses creates jobs. It preserves the unique character of the Louisville Metro community and it helps conserve energy and resources because it lessens the amount of fuel used to transport goods.

These are just a few of the benefits of buying from local merchants, according to the Louisville Independent Business Alliance (LIBA).

For more than a decade, LIBA has promoted independent businesses through the simple blackand-white “Keep Louisville Weird” slogan and logo. Co-founder John Timmons first posted it on a Bardstown Road billboard in 2005.

This year, LIBA is making several special efforts to keep the upcoming holidays weird, including offering merchants Small Business Saturday promotional materials such as tote bags, welcome mats, buttons, pennants, posters and even pet bandannas.

“We work with American Express to get materials for our members, and then we put our own unique twist on them,” says LIBA Director Jennifer Rubenstein, who notes that she has seen an increasing number of Louisville-area merchants participating in Small Business Saturday during the past few years.

Small Business Saturday. “We encourage our members to chalk a message on their sidewalk, take a picture of it and promote it via social media. It adds to the Small Business Saturday buzz,” Rubenstein says.

LIBA also creates buzz through its hoLOUdays Contest. By collecting receipts from LIBA business members, you could win a $1,000 local shopping spree.

LIBA has published a guide to local shopping, and it invited its members to attend a presentation from the Small Business Development Center called “Last-Minute Ways o Up Your Holiday Sales Game.”

“We’ve had the holiday contest in one form or another since 2008, so it predates Small Business Saturday,” Rubenstein notes, “but once that day came along, it’s been great to have American Express promoting local shopping, and we decided to launch our holiday contest on Small Business Saturday. It’s been a great thing for us and for our members.” VT

LIBA even provides chalk that merchants can use to draw a Buy Local message for

The Power of Adopting an Angel

he Salvation Army’s annual Angel Tree might seem like just another charity soliciting your support for the holidays – until you look Jai’leal Crawford in the eyes.

Jai’leal is a lively boy with a contented smile, too young to understand the hard times his dad has been experiencing.

new clothes, if you haven’t gotten new clothes in a long time, means everything.”

Nonprofit Profile WES KERRICK

For now, Jai’leal and his father, Jamal Crawford, are living at The Salvation Army on Brook Street, where Jamal is working on the recovery of his mental health so he can go back to work.

Jai’leal will be one of the more than 7,200 Louisville-area children receiving much-needed items this Christmas by way of the Angel Tree.

The campaign, which goes on each holiday season in every community with a Salvation Army, gives members of the community the chance to help out children like Jai’leal, from newborn to 12 years old. When you “adopt an angel” – or sign up to give a gift to a particular child – you get a list of items the child’s parent requested, such as certain sizes of clothes.

“It really does wonders,” says David Yarmuth, director of community relations at The Salvation Army Louisville Area Command. “It’s not just about some cool toys. Just having some PHOTO BY WES KERRICK

TVT.indd 112416_Business.indd 15 15

Angels are up for “adoption” inside the Walmart stores at Middletown, Westport Road, Hurstbourne and Fern Creek. They’re also at the Oxmoor Center, St. Matthews and Jefferson malls and the Kroger on Dixie Highway. In Clarksville, angels will become available the day after Thanksgiving at Green Tree Mall.

You can adopt an angel at any of those locations through December 11.

“The Angel Tree, it’s a blessing for someone like Jai’leal – and myself,” says Jamal, 39, who in the past six years lost his two other children.

In 2011, his 3-year-old son was murdered. While still grieving that son, his 16-year-old son died in his sleep.

Then less than a year ago, Jamal’s mother – his confidante and source of strength – also passed away.

While Jamal recounts these things, Jai’leal plays cheerfully nearby. His dad too is keeping his head up despite the sorrow. It’s a tough go because the mental strain has made it nearly impossible to work just yet. And with what he’s been through, it’s hard to imagine leaving Jai’leal in someone else’s hands all day.

“I want to go out there and work,” he says,

“but at the same time, I don’t want to – I feel like my job is to protect this baby.”

The Angel Tree, he says, will give Jai’leal the opportunity to experience the simple joy of getting a perfectly suited present on Christmas morning.

“He won’t know that The Salvation Army did that. He’s going to think that Santa Claus brought that down for him. And then once he gets older in life, you know, after the Santa thing, he’s going to be like, ‘Dad did that.’ And I’m going to hopefully – I’m optimistic that I’ll be able to tell him: ‘We went through this rough situation in this time in your life ... and the people at The Salvation Army came through and lended us a hand. And they were the people who really assisted you with all that.’”

But Yarmuth is quick to deflect too much attention from his organization.

“We’re just the conduit to the people we’re trying to help,” he says. “It’s really the communities where The Salvation Armies serve that are the real force for good.”

If you’d like to help out in addition to providing a gift for a child, volunteers are needed to process bags as they come in and help with distribution of them to families.

HOLIDAY POP-UP COCKTAIL BAR, MIRACLE ON MARKET, TAKES OVER RYE IN NULU

UBREAKIFIX OPENS FIRST KENTUCKY LOCATION IN JEFFERSONTOWN

Louisville’s first Christmas pop-up cocktail experience, Miracle on Market, arrives with a clatter of reindeer on Friday, November 25 and will celebrate the holiday season through Friday, December 23. Popping up and dressing in holiday style, the transformation will take place at RYE in NuLu, located at 900 E. Market St.

uBreakiFix opened in Jeffersontown on November 4 at 1979 S. Hurstbourne Pkwy. The growing technology repair brand specializes in same-day repair service of all electronics – from phones, tablets and computers to drones, hover boards and game consoles.

Miracle on Market will be dressed head to toe in holiday attire.

Your favorite classic holiday songs will ring through the air, and holiday movies will be projected. From the garland and ornaments decorating the walls to the Santa Pants mug holding your cocktail, every element at Miracle is wrapped in holiday cheer.

Led by millennial entrepreneur Justin Wetherill, uBreakiFix services all brands of electronics, repairing cracked screens, water damage, software issues, camera issues and most other technical problems at its more than 250 stores across North America.

RYE Beverage Director Doug Petry was enamored with the idea of the holiday pop-up after first hearing about it in 2015. “When miracle reached out and asked if we wanted to participate in the 2016 expansion of the program , we were thrilled at the opportunity. Louisville already has such a vibrant food and beverage culture that is continuously growing, and we knew that Miracle would be a great addition to that tradition,” Petry said.

Miracle on Market is 21 and up, no entry fee and reservations are not accepted. The Christmas pop-up bar will be open daily November 25 to December 23 starting at 5 p.m.

CHURCHILL DOWNS TO INVEST $37 MILLION ON EXPANSION AND UPGRADES

It has quickly become a holiday tradition in the river city, and now Southern Living magazine has recognized Louisville Mega Cavern’s Lights Under Louisville as one of the South’s top holiday attractions.

Churchill Downs Racetrack, one of the world’s most renowned sports and entertainment venues, has announced a substantial $37 million capital project that will deliver more than 1,800 new seats for the 2018 Kentucky Derby through the addition of new luxury suites, interior dining tables and third-floor Grandstand seats.

The highly-respected publication with a worldwide circulation of about 3,000,000 called the adventure a “sparkling tribute to pop culture Christmas.” The 30-minute underground journey features characters from both recent and classic holiday tales – some of the more than 850 displays comprised of more than 2,000,0000 points of light.

The Starting Gate Suites capital project will encompass 77,250 square feet of new space on the north end of Churchill Downs Racetrack’s 147-acre facility. The structure, which will feature three floors of individual suites along with dining and event space, will be erected adjacent to the Jockey Club Suites, which opened in 2003.

“Southern Living features only the best the South has to offer, and we are excited to know millions of people across the country and world now know about the spectacular holiday happening we created for the people of our community,” said Louisville Mega Cavern co-owner Jim Lowry. “Our winter ‘underland’ has something new each year, and I invite everyone to join us for a unique experience.”

The new luxury suites, which will feature indoor lounge seating with a bar and a private tiered balcony that overlooks the start of the Kentucky Derby at the top of the homestretch, will host 1,140 ticketed guests.

Lights Under Louisville is now open and runs through December 31. For information, directions and $5 off coupons, visit lightsunderlouisville.com.

ANNE KORDES RESIGNS AS UNIVERSITY OF LOUISVILLE VOLLEYBALL HEAD COACH University of Louisville Head Coach Anne Kordes is resigning for personal reasons at the completion of the 2016 volleyball season.

“It has been an honor and privilege to have had Anne guiding our volleyball program for the last six years,” said UofL Vice President for Athletics Tom Jurich. “I wish her and her daughter, Mary, the best as they embark upon the next chapter in their lives. I am exceedingly grateful to Anne for her dedication to the University of Louisville, and I’m excited to see what the future holds for her.

We will miss her enthusiasm and vigor around our department, but as a former student-athlete and coach at UofL, she will remain a Cardinal forever.”

ELITE HOMES’ SUMMER OF GIVING A HUGE SUCCESS! Local homebuilder Elite Homes’ Summer of Giving campaign was a huge success. Thanks to the fun, family-oriented events they held throughout the summer, Elite sold 33 homes and donated $33,000 to charity.

Three local charities – YouthBuild Louisville, The Woodstock Animal Foundation and St. John Center for Homeless Men – received a portion of the funds set aside from the proceeds of those sales. “We’re proud to be here in Louisville and glad to be able to give something back with our Summer of Giving,” said Elite’s president Joe Pusateri.

UOFL’S FAMILY BUSINESS CENTER PRESENTS LEADERSHIP AWARD

“The Starting Gates Suites project is our next step in the company’s ongoing efforts to improve and enhance the facilities and the customer experience at Churchill Downs,” said Kevin Flanery, president of Churchill Downs Racetrack.

“The demand for Kentucky Derby and Kentucky Oaks tickets remains extraordinary with the number of reserved seating requests vastly exceeding our available inventory on an annual basis. This sweeping new addition will be a terrific benefit to our facility on many levels.”

The University of Louisville’s Family Business Center recently presented its third annual Brown-Forman Family Business Leadership Award to William “Bill” Weyland, chief strategy officer of Weyland Ventures.

IT’S A WHITE CHRISTMAS AT THE FRAZIER

The award was announced during the center’s 2016 Family Business Center Summit.

Back by popular demand, “White Christmas: The Exhibit” will be on display this holiday season! From now through January 8, 2017, visitors will see costumes, posters and memorabilia from the 1954 classic film starring Kentucky’s own Rosemary Clooney, along with Bing Crosby, Danny Kaye and Vera-Ellen.

On loan from the Rosemary Clooney House in Augusta, Kentucky, the exhibit includes authentic props from the film, the original sleigh and several costumes – including the blue dresses Clooney and Ellen wore as they sang “Sisters.”

The song that changed Christmas forever: It’s hard to imagine the holidays without the Bing Crosby classic “White Christmas” filling the air, but before its debut in the 1942

The award recognizes an individual whose family business has multiple generations working in it and whose headquarters is in the greater Louisville-Southern Indiana region. The winner is chosen on the basis of exemplary leadership, family unity and civic engagement in the family business community.

Weyland, a Louisville native, is an award-winning architect and developer who has committed much of his career to revitalizing downtown Louisville. In addition to creating the 10-story baseball bat at the Louisville Slugger Factory & Museum, he has accomplished historic renovations of The Henry Clay, Whisky Row, Guthrie Coke and the Edison Center. Among his new construction projects are the ZirMed Tower, 310 @Nulu, Hilton Garden Inn, 8UP and The Quad UofL student housing near the Health Sciences Center.

Lamar Jackson had two TD runs versus UK in last year’s Battle for the Governor’s Cup.

The One We’ve Been Waiting For

uring the postgame celebration that took place in the visitor’s locker room at Commonwealth Stadium almost exactly one year ago, some variation of “this is our state” could be heard from the voices of a number of Louisville players and coaches. It’s a declarative statement that rings more true today than it ever has before.

had an opportunity to end both of its streaks of futility with a regular season-ending victory over Louisville but allowed second half leads to evaporate in painfully destructive fashion.

Especially difficult to stomach was last season’s Battle for the Governor’s Cup, in which UofL spotMIKE ted its in-state rival a 21-0 deficit.

Petrino said after the game. “It was great being able to come back after being down like that and see our guys grow up.”

Growing up was one of the primary storylines of Louisville’s 2015 season. While the team’s youth became even more of a talking point after the Cards started the season 0-3 for the first time since 1984, the negative connotation attached to playing so many youngsters fully evolved into a positive during the 2015 Battle for the Governor’s Cup. Of the 13 Louisville players who recorded an offensive statistic last season against Kentucky, exactly zero were seniors. Jackson showed his first real glimpses of becoming the player who will accept the Heisman Trophy in a few weeks, and the four Cardinal juniors on defense who played such a large part in shutting down Kentucky in the second half all chose to return to UofL for one more year.

A year later, all those players head into a rivalry weekend in which they’re trying to both erase the sting of last week’s playoff-crushing loss to Houston as well as maintain their unblemished record against their arch-rivals. A Cardinal victory would also give Louisville its first ever lead in the Governor’s Cup series, a fact due mostly to Kentucky’s piling up of six victories between 1912 and 1924.

Regardless, the UofL youngsters who came of age 12 months ago in Lexington are one win away from making the record book reflect what has been apparent for a long time: When it comes to football, Kentucky is a Cardinal state. VT N O V E M B E R 2 4 , 2 0 1 6 • V O I C E -T R I B U N E . C O M

Take Me Out to the Bowl Game

n the end, the Cats finally took care of business.

It wasn’t quite the 60-0 blowout everyone was predicting. Or was it 70-0?

“as if they’re my friends” – and without any compensation.

First of all, as others have pointed out, it’s the NBA’s rule, not the NCAA’s.

But beyond that, I thought of all the basketball youngsters who come, similarly shackled, to Lexington for a year.

“Play all the seniors,” everyone STEVE I have no inkling of any of this same suggested. “Play the walk-ons. Play bitterness. And, by the way, many Luke Wright. It won’t matter.”

KAUFMAN of these Kentucky kids played at the It mattered. same level as Simmons – maybe higher, since Austin Peay jumped off to a 13-0 start before they accomplished more in school and have so Stephen Johnson came in and righted the ship, far accomplished more in the pros. playing with more confidence than I think John Wall, Anthony Davis and Karl-Anthowe’ve seen all season. ny Towns were number one picks, too. DeMar-

Catnip

The Cats were still being bitten by all the same bugs – a dropped sure-touchdown pass, a penalty that wiped out a 94-yard Boom Williams touchdown run. Another penalty erased a Jojo Kemp TD scamper.

But in the end, Kemp gave back to the crowd all the Senior Day love they’d showered on him with a magnificent final Commonwealth Stadium appearance. And Bennie Snell showed the irresistible freshman force he has become.

If Snell were playing that other sport across campus, we’d be saying how terrific it was to share this one breakout autumn with him before he went off to join the professional tour.

Good luck, young man, see you on Sundays.

But we know this gifted athlete will be back in Lexington next season, hopefully sharing the backfield again with Boom, piling up the yardage, the touchdowns – the wins?

Some of the coverage during the week focused on the three senior defensive backs: J.D. Harmon, Blake McClain and Marcus McWilson. Watching these three talk about the culmination of their college careers, you couldn’t help but be struck by how mature, reflective and thoughtful they’ve become after four years on campus.

I just couldn’t shake the idea that devoting your entire college-age years to being in college cannot necessarily be a bad thing.

BOYS TO MEN The big bad NCAA heaps bad publicity on itself all the time. There’s currently a documentary on Showtime about the short, unhappy college career of Ben Simmons.

As he thrashed through his involuntary servitude at LSU, he and his entire family blamed the NCAA for keeping him shackled to the program, forcing him to walk through campus while people had the temerity to address him N O V E M B E R 2 4 , 2 0 1 6 • V O I C E -T R I B U N E . C O M

cus Cousins, Julius Randle, Brandon Knight, Eric Bledsoe and Devin Booker are All-Stars.

But they come back to campus, come back to Big Blue Madness, participate in John Calipari’s camps and charitable events. You occasionally see them in the stands at Kentucky games.

They sing the praises of Kentucky and Calipari, often without being asked.

Not just the NBA megastars. Also Michael Kidd-Gilchrist, Terrence Jones, Nerlens Noel, Willie Cauley-Stein, Trey Lisles – even Kyle Wiltjer, whose outstanding college career will be defined by most as having taken place at Gonzaga.

Garden – being included in the select company of Kansas, Duke and Michigan State – would have turned his thinking around.

Maybe. But Simmons himself has to share some of that responsibility.

It’s a screwed-up arrangement to be sure.

Nobody’s kidding anybody anymore about the “student athlete.” But sometimes, being a college student involves more than studying for your Spanish midterm or writing your freshman history essay on the Victorian Era. Sometimes, it just means being given a chance to grow up. To develop, not only as an athlete but also as a person.

Calipari has been talking a lot about the transformation of Isaiah Briscoe from last season to this. Playing better, yes, but also having matured as a young man and as a teammate – a leader.

Freshmen are kids. They often grow up a little between freshman and sophomore years, if the opportunity presents itself.

Some, like Briscoe, accept the opportunity.

Some, like Simmons, reject it.

Who’s the winner? VT

Okay, so maybe Simmons just chose the wrong program. Maybe, at Kentucky, he wouldn’t have been allowed to sulk his team out of the NCAA tournament. Maybe, at Kentucky, Kenny Payne would have grabbed him by the scruff of the neck and taken him to class.

Maybe, at Kentucky, he would have been inspired by the banners hanging from Rupp’s rafters.

M’s the Word Malik Monk is the most athletic and electrifying of the UK freshmen. The 6-foot-5 guard from Arkansas has already wowed the Rupp Arena crowd a few times this season with his high wire act. His brother, Marcus, played college basketball and football at the University of Arkansas and played in the NFL for the Chicago Bears. His cousin, Rashad Madden, also played basketball at Arkansas.

You have so many family ties to Arkansas. What went into the decision to come to UK?

of course. He’s like my dad sometimes. We are close, super close.

They can expect just an efficient scorer and for me to just bring a lot of energy.

It really wasn’t anything to Arkansas and Kentucky. I just had to pick the school that was most comfortable to me.

I think Kentucky was the best choice.

How old were you when he was playing?

You know about the 2012 National Champs and the 38-1 season. Is there a sense among the freshmen that you want to prove that you’re the best class ever here?

Taylor’s 10

Was there a moment when you came to the realization that Kentucky was the pick?

KENT TAYLOR

He’s 12 years older than me. When I was in second and third grade, he was at Arkansas.

Then he went to the Bears, so I remember.

Coach Cal telling the truth to my mom and just being honest about everything.

Your brother played for the Chicago Bears, so are you a Bears fan?

No, I don’t like the Bears. I like the Ravens. I used to cheer for Ray Lewis.

How close are you and your brother?

My brother is my best friend – my brother,

So at that point, were you thinking that you would play at Arkansas someday?

Yeah, I was thinking that.

Is it surprising to you that you’re wearing all that blue now?

It kind of is, to see that I’m here.

What can UK expect from you this season?

Every team wants to prove that they’re the best and every team wants to win every game they play. We’ve just got to prepare and listen to Coach Cal. Why do you wear No. 5?

In the summer of ninth grade, I moved to Bentonville, Arkansas, and my coaches got us into the FCA [Fellowship of Christian Athletes] with the Bible and all that. And when I was younger, I used to watch Animal Planet. So the fifth day is when God made animals, and that’s why I like it. VT

Swimming to Stanford

e careful the next time you decide to go fishing – you just might find Brooke Forde in the water.

The astounding swimmer has swam like a fish throughout her life and, in the infamous words of LeBron James, has now decided to take her talents to Stanford University.

High School Sports Report

RANDY WHETSTONE JR.

“Stanford was the best combination of the things I liked from other schools I visited,” she says. “I am confident that I can improve in swimming under Coach Meehan and I really enjoyed the other girls on the team. Also, Stanford’s academic opportunities are unparalleled and I know that I will be well prepared for a career after I am finished with school and swimming.”

Forde, who’s earned a 4.0 GPA throughout high school hasn’t made a decision on her major quite yet but is considering human biology or public health and wants to minor in Spanish.

Its just a few signs of what one can expect from Brooke’s future success. But her swimming resume is already awe-inspiring and will greatly impact Stanford’s program in an indisputable way.

She soon will be coming out of the prestigious swimming program of Sacred Heart Academy, where Forde has tasted the sweet feeling of a state championship each year. She says swimming at Sacred Heart taught her “how to compete for something bigger than myself,” since high school state meets are about team scores. She believes this will help her on the next level:

“Competing for SHA has taught me how to swim races where my place [and] points are more important than my time. This will really help me in college meets where the main goal is the team finish at NCAAs. SHA swimming also always reminds me of the fun side of the sport. It is less intense than club swimming, and my teammates allow me to relax and remember the fun in competing.”

There are many things Brooke could leave as a legacy at Sacred Heart. Of the many options, she just wants the tradition of being the best team and producing great swimmers to continue on. But most importantly to her will be passing on the pride of being an “AquaValk,” she says.

“When I was a freshman, I learned from the upperclassmen that it is both fun and an honor to swim for Sacred Heart Academy, and I want to teach that to our younger swimmers as well.”

With high school accomplishments soon to be in the rear-view mirror, Forde has already considered the importance to impact Stanford’s swim program once she arrives. And the goal remains the same – go for the crown. The only difference in college: Be the best team in the nation, not just the state.

“Stanford’s team is already filled with great swimmers, so standing out on their team is a challenge. I hope to be able to score some points for the team at the national championship meet, which will then hopefully contribute to a national title for the team. I know being national champions is a goal the coaches have for our team, and I want to contribute to that as much as possible,” she adds.

Forde, who has been swimming for USA

teams, was selected to the 2015 Junior Worlds team and says “it was a turning point for me.”

She began to see the opportunities she could have through the sport of swimming.

By competing in Tokyo and Hong Kong in the World Cup this October, she earned a bronze and silver medal. She says, “It taught me that I could compete internationally with some of the best people in the world, regardless of their age.”

Her confidence carried over to the USA college challenge a few weekends ago, where she earned first place in 400 IM for the U.S. National Team. Her coach said her time would have placed second at the NCAA meet last year, which made her believe it will be possible for her to shoot for higher goals like winning a national championship and making the World Championship team this summer.

But of all the accolades and major accomplishments as she has become one with the water, the sport itself is what has taught her the greatest lessons.

“Swimming has taught me the value of hard work,” she affirms. “The sport has never been easy and I have to be very self-motivated. Especially now that a lot of the other swimmers I trained with have graduated, I have to push myself in the pool. However, the sport is very rewarding because it is based on times, so there are tangible results from my hard work, which keeps me motivated.” VT L E F T P H OTO B Y W A D E M O R G A N / R I G H T P H OTO B Y PAT F O R D E

“fabYULEous!”

Every year, VOICES of Kentuckiana produces a stunning holiday concert. This year is sure to be no different as the organization prepares for “fabYULEous!,” taking place December 10-11 at the Clifton Center. The event will also feature a partnership with the Animal Care Society. To get more information, we chatted with VOICES Artistic and Managing Director Jeff Buhrman.

What is “fabYULEous!”? “fabYULEous!” is VOICES of Kentuckiana’s annual holiday concert. It will be an evening of merriment that includes secular music from the medieval to the contemporary. On one end of the spectrum, we will sing about the medieval custom of wassailing and Yule singing – the one time of the year when there was practically no distinction of class – when lord, lady and rustic met in the same hall, played the same games and romped without stint as if they were social equals. On the other end of the spectrum we have the contemporary custom of texting your holiday message in a song called “Text Me Merry Christmas.” Other highlights include a musical montage of Mozart’s “Fa-la-la,” the 1978 hit by The Carpenters, “Merry Christmas Darling,” and “Seasons of Love,” from the Broadway musical “RENT.” What can guests expect at the event?

Beautiful singing and joyful entertainment from our inclusive group of singers. We hope to touch all your emotions with holiday favorites and some wonderful holiday surprises including guest singers from our youth outreach program. During “fabYULEous!,” we will spotlight a high school chorus and a young soloist from the University of Louisville’s fabulous music program.

Why is the event important for VOICES as well as the Animal Care Society?

“We hope to touch all your emotions with holiday favorites and some wonderful holiday surprises including guest singers from our youth outreach program.” have a reason to sing, we know that we have to raise our voices even louder, higher and stronger than we have ever sung before in the aftermath of the 2016 election.

Many of us are disappointed and scared. We mourn for the rights of many that may be in jeopardy. We mourn the families impacted by this. We mourn for nonwhite, non-straight, non-Christian individuals because they no longer feel safe. We will continue to be a proud LGBTA group and we will SING – no one can stop us. Our voices need to be heard more than ever.

This season, VOICES is pleased to partner with The Animal Care Society, Louisville’s only no-kill shelter. We want to help local pets find forever homes, and in

“fabYULEous!,” we are doing it in a unique way. As a chorus for the community, it is important for VOICES to reach out into the community and form partnerships. We are at our best when we integrate the organizations into our performances. Animal Care Society does an amazing job placing pets in the homes of residents of the community.

How has this holiday event grown over the years?

VOICES has had an important 23-year history. We are in a period of incredible growth and have welcomed many new and younger members to the group in the last three years. They have brought a great deal of talent and new ideas to the group.

How do you hope it changes in years to come?

We love to get out in the community and sing, so we are taking music from our concert on the road and singing for several holiday events in the community this year, many of which we have never attended before. We are excited about having our music more prominently displayed in the Louisville community and hope to find more opportunities to perform over in between concerts.

Is it too late to get tickets?

Not at all. Tickets can be purchased online at voicesky.org or by phone at 502.583.1013.

Tickets are $20 for adults and $15 for seniors and students. VT PHOTO BY BILL BRYMER

A Salty Salvation for the Sinuses

eople who visit Louisville Salt Cave are hoping to breathe easier one way or another. Kim Rash, who owns the cave with Nicole Bartlett, says the primary reasons visitors give her for coming are to relax and to alleviate allergy and sinus problems.

music plays. The business also offers sessions during which visitors can listen to a guided meditation.

Health & Wellness JESSICA STEPHENS

Each recliner comes equipped with a basket in which visitors who don’t want to bring home a salt-encrusted purse can put their belongings, in addition to a blanket for people who might find the cave’s 65-to-70-degree temperature a bit nippy.

“It’s kind of like a mini-vacation,” Rash says of halotherapy sessions – the main service the business offers.

As Rash ushered in the final arrival at a recent halotherapy session, she let us know that salt by its nature is antimicrobial, antibacterial and anti-inflammatory.

Most “vacation” sessions last for 45 minutes, but they also can last 30 for patrons who prefer the Lunch Express option. During their grotto getaway, visitors lay in one of the cave’s six reclining chairs as a halogenerator – a device that grinds pharmaceutical-grade salt and disperses it into the air – hums rhythmically.

Indeed, my fellow cave-dwellers cited hope for health benefits or other visitors’ reports of improved well-being as reasons for coming to the cave. Mary Bellino said she thought the sessions sounded fascinating after a friend who comes regularly described Louisville Salt Cave to her.

Walking into the room isn’t so different from walking on the beach. Small crystals of pink Himalayan salt cover the floor, gathering in sandlike mounds. But unlike beach combers, Louisville Salt Cave visitors are required to take their shoes off and keep their feet covered before sessions. The cave provides socks to patrons who need them.

The walls of the cave are also made from pink Himalayan salt, albeit bigger chunks of it than are on the floor. Some of the salt chunks have lights behind them, but for the most part, the cave is brightened only by lights that twinkle on the ceiling during halotherapy sessions as calming COURTESY PHOTO

Bellino said she hoped the session might alleviate inflammation. Kathy Carroll said she decided to try the cave after a work colleague reported finding the sessions to be helpful for allergies.

Returning visitor Angie Schulte said she came because she needed to relax.

“I’m so stressed right now,” she said. “I need this.”

The benefits visitors experience from halotherapy vary, as do the behaviors of visitors during the sessions. If you’re like the others in my group, you might lay quietly or fall asleep until an employee rings a bell to let you know the session has ended. If you’re like me, you fidget,

Rash said much of the cave’s business comes from repeat customers. Once our session ended, a first-time visitor bought a session package.

Though halotherapy is the main service Louisville Salt Cave offers, visitors also can attend special events such as drum circles and guided foot massages. Additionally, children and a guardian can play in the cave together (with plastic dinosaurs!) the first Saturday morning of each month.

Not for a la carte dining, the new roof garden is primarily for weddings, receptions, banquets, corporate meals and similar parties for up to 200 sitting guests or 250 standing. It is also available as an add-on option for functions that are booked in the Crystal Ballroom, Bluegrass Room or other Brown Hotel meeting places. Additionally, there are plans to use the space to host occasional popup dining and live music events. The starting rates for roof garden events range from $30 per person for breakfast to $50 per head for dinner, which is comparable to leasing the hotel’s other spaces.

awnissa and Nick Pabon are happily married, despite the love they harbor for rival sports teams. It’s not an unusual predicament for many families in the Bluegrass. Nick is an avid UK fan, while Dawnissa’s heart bleeds UofL red.

Homes ERIN COFFEE

While they both attended the University of Louisville, Nick affirms that he was able to remain a loyal fan of the Kentucky Wildcats throughout his time in enemy territory.

“I’m proud,” he says. “I held my ground.”

Nick has been a dedicated fan since he was young. “I guess you can say I was brainwashed as a child,” he laughs. Some of his best memories involve watching basketball games with his father. He says that for the longest time, his father didn’t own anything red, due to his love for his team.

For Dawnissa, she claims that her father was also a major fan of UK growing up.

This ended up having the opposite effect on her and turning her against her father’s team. After attending the University of Louisville, she became a proud supporter of the Cardinals. Nick and his son, Mason, are both Wildcats fans, which can make it hard for her to enjoy any victories her team receives. “There’s a lot of trashtalking in this house directed at me,” she says.

During their time at UofL, Dawnissa was president of her sorority, Delta Zeta, and Nick was the president of his fraternity, Phi Kappa Tau. She was studying pre-med biology and psychology while he was studying business.

This was how they met. Nick says that he used to tailgate all the time for UofL games, but he would never actually go into the stadium – he refused to let the excitement of the UofL games sway his love for his team.

Dawnissa says she witnessed Nick’s commitment to his team while they were on their honeymoon in Tahiti. Nick planned an entire day around watching an important UK game only to learn that it could not be broadcast at their

The couple has season tickets to the UofL games, and Nick says that Dawnissa has persuaded him to become a begrudging supporter of Louisville – so long as they aren’t facing Kentucky. Dawnissa has also learned to endure her husband’s team. “I’ve become Kentucky tolerant,” she admits.

They may joke around with each other about it, but they have grown to accept the other person’s dedication to their team. The rivalry the two share through sports seems to have only strengthened their marriage and given them newfound respect for their opponents. VT

Tarryn McCray AND Randy Pasch Love was in the air. That is exactly how Randy Pasch and his new bride, Tarryn McCray, felt as they stood in the ballroom of the Louisville Marriott East during their wedding reception and watched friends and family fellowship and dance the night away until far past the midnight hour. With a guest list of over 400, there was no shortage of people to celebrate the union, and some had traveled for many miles on Labor Day weekend to witness the vows and rejoice in the moment.

tried on, and my mom and godmother were crying when I walked out in it,” Tarryn says of the over 40 dresses she ended up trying on that day while shopping in Chicago. They kept coming back to that first moment of old Hollywood glamour, a mermaid-cut gown with feathers sweeping the floor. From that decision, feathers were incorporated into every detail of the wedding design. “The invitations even had a single white feather in them.”

For the couple, years of friendship that began when Tarryn was a cheerleader for the University of Louisville and a long courtship that extended through the years that she lived and worked in Chicago culminated with a dream wedding at Green Castle Baptist Church and handwritten vows that Tarryn recalls, “were the most beautiful words I had ever heard. Randy perfectly captured everything you always dream of hearing said to you on your wedding day. He made me feel so special in that moment.”

From the moment the bride was escorted down the aisle by her father, Louisville basketball legend Scooter McCray, to the cutting of their feather-topped cake, every detail was seamlessly executed by wedding coordinator Janell Madison of Forever Moments. “She was so wonderful,” Tarryn shares, “and kept the day’s events moving so smoothly. I didn’t have to worry about a thing. My mom was also extremely helpful with the planning process.”

While the dress is almost always an important element to any wedding, in this case, the dress defined the entire theme. “It was the first dress I N O V E M B E R 2 4 , 2 0 1 6 • V O I C E -T R I B U N E . C O M

After eight Harry Potter movies (based on Rowling’s seven novels) made Warner Bros. a fortune, the plea for the author to provide new material was certain. For now, we can be thankful that the movie business did not force a needless excuse to return to Hogwarts for more magical school shenanigans.

The Harry Potter movies were a mixed bag for me. They were launched at a time when studios felt enabled to emulate fantasy worlds through the boom of computer generated effects, which had gone from simply enhancing filmed content to flooding the average movie frame. Anything was possible, but there was no guarantee that indulging this new hybrid of animation and live-action filmmaking would have the same transporting effect as the fantasy movies that had come before. Regardless of so many advances, this continues to be the case.

The storytelling in the Potter films was often bogged-down by action set pieces, which usually left me trying to remember what was going on when the plot managed to get going again. I remember the fourth movie being so full of holes that I got into arguments with fans who said that I needed to have read the book, leading me to ask, “Then why make a movie at all?!”

Through the movies, I saw a fantasy world that didn’t have enough limitations to make me feel afraid for its characters. There were too many spells and powers that could turn around a sticky situation for me to feel like anyone was ever really in – or out of – danger.

I admit that most of these criticisms apply to a lot of fantasy series, including ones I love, but for the Potter films, it was always a little more noticeable.

Different time. Different place. Different characters. The film is set in New York during the 1920s as the world-traveling English wizard, Newt (Eddie Redmayne), arrives with a mysterious suitcase that is somehow harboring an excessive amount of magical creatures, which he is protecting and trying to return to their proper habitats.

In a strange mishap at a bank, this case is accidentally switched with one filled with sample products by a lonely amateur baker (Dan Fogler) trying to get a loan to open his own business. When he gets home and opens the wizard’s case, several beasts escape, causing mayhem in the city.

magic rules, it’s a pretty fun story with amusing characters and a great atmosphere.

The film’s big problem is in its small story – which would have made a great pilot episode for a TV series – feeling so drawn out to fit a long movie. The film’s sense of pace is oftentimes awkward, and the character chemistry isn’t developed enough to be worth some of the lengthy cartoonish scenes.

The obvious aspect of this film’s existence – and the likely sequels to follow – is that it is another maneuver by Warner Bros. to compete with Disney’s various successful franchises by taking one of their successful properties and imitating the same universe-building business tactics. Compared to their wretched DC comics movies of late, “Fantastic Beasts” feels a little more inspired, but I could have done without all the deliberate loose ends and the famous actor cameo near the end, both attempting to get me to come back for more.

I still truly miss a time when major studios could be content in producing a charming well-rounded escapist film that could exist happily by itself. VT

Meanwhile, Tina (Katherine Waterston), a magic government agent, takes Newt into her custody for breaking various American magic laws concerning the permission to bring mystical animals into the country and their threat in exposing the hidden world of witches and wizards. With an unrelated force of supernatural destruction taking place in the city, Newt is under suspicion for being responsible.

After finding the baker, the trio set out on a mission to find the beasts before more damage is done.

“Fantastic Beasts” takes a proper direction for the great amount of now grown-up Harry Potter fans by using adult protagonists in a universe-expanding story. Aside from my normal gripes about indulgent CGI and loosely defined

‘Book of Mormon’ Returns to Louisville

F

or many kids, starring in the national tour of a Broadway smash hit like “Book of Mormon” means living the dream they’ve had since they were a child. Not so for Gabe Gibbs.

Arts & Entertainment

For many Louisvillians, the show is at least familiar by name. “Book of Mormon” exploded onto the Broadway stage in 2011, propelled by its stunning ability to make audiences laugh and cry with equal energy. The production swept the Tony Awards, winning Best Musical and several other top honors.

But for those who don’t know the show, Gibbs has a synopsis of its comeGRAHAM dy: “We follow two Mormon boys who get sent on their two-year mission into PILOTTE “I fell in love with acting when Uganda. My character is the all-Amerimy football career ended my freshman year of high school,” he says with a can type guy, and my co-star is the classic nerdy laugh. “I broke my collarbone and auditioned guy.

With such a dramatic beginning, it seems For those who think the storyline sounds clear that Gibbs was a natural fit for theater.

“I was a lot better at theater than football,” irreverent, it is. “Book of Mormon” glories he jokes. He continued performing through- in unorthodox and relatable moments, but out high school and studied theater in college, beneath the veneer of stock characters and deciding to take a leap of faith after graduating. bawdy jokes lies a genuine message. “I would “I moved out to LA because I had done some first put it under the umbrella of being creatfilm and TV work,” he notes, “and I ended up ed and written by the creators and writers of auditioning for ‘Book of Mormon’ out there.” ‘South Park’; It’s really smart, really funny,” Since then, he’s moved from the tour to Broad- Gibbs says of the humor. “The show has such a way and back again. Gibbs will be in Louisville good heart. Some people can think that it’s just starting November 29 performing as one of the satirical and irreverent, and I don’t think that’s the case at all.” show’s leads, Elder Price.

He continues: “I think it’s a show specifically about Mormons but more grandly about religion as a whole, which everyone has a relationship with to some degree. The show forces people to ask questions that they wouldn’t ordinarily ask.” Touching songs like his character’s second-act solo “I Believe” manage to weave together funny lines and the heart of the show in a way that is astoundingly powerful. “It shows that if a religion is cheap and empty – if you’re in it for just yourself – it’s broken and useless,” Gibbs explains. His character, Elder Price, learns the importance of connecting his deep faith to the characters and world around him.

The performance is a blend of utterly ridiculous and entirely accessible moments that audiences love. Its powerful combination of humor and heart is what propelled “Book of Mormon” to international fame, and it’s sure to be as much of a smash success in Louisville as it was in New York City. “We cover it in spicy language and our funny jokes, but it’s an important show,” Gibbs says. “And it’s fun from start to finish.” VT Book of Mormon runs November 29 to December 4 at The Kentucky Center for the Performing Arts.

Stocking up on Staples Makes Family Happy for the Holidays

couldn’t understand what he was EAR ABBY: With the saying, so his wife “interpreted.” holiday shopping Also, when he tries to eat, the food season already here, falls out of his mouth onto a bib and may I suggest another way from there to the floor. to look at gift giving? We all Abby, we just don’t know what to want to give the perfect gift do. We really like this couple, but it Dear Abby to family members. Some is nauseating to watch him eat with food falling out of his mouth. Plus, gifts can cost a lot of money JEANNE the other patrons at the restaurants and some not. I would like PHILLIPS are starting to stare. We look forward people to take a step back to your advice. – PEOPLE ARE and consider who they are buying for.

STARTING TO STARE

I stopped buying gifts for my parents and sister 10 years ago. Because their money is tight, I have been stocking their pantries with food and staples. I am well off enough financially that I have been able to fill their freezers with enough meat to last three months or more.

At Thanksgiving, my husband and I load up our car and bring the meat with us. Then my mom, sister, grandma and I go to the grocery store and buy staples for the pantry and what we need to make freezer meals. Abby, this takes so much pressure off them.

Food is expensive. So instead of buying Dad that new TV or sound system, or your sister that designer handbag, pause and take a hard look at their situation. Sometimes the need for basics outweighs the desire for the latest and greatest gadgets. Even paying a bill or two can help. Or gift cards for groceries.

I never expect presents from my family; all I want is for them to have some freedom in their lives from the daily worries. – NEW WAY OF GIFTING DEAR NEW WAY: I’m pleased to share your letter with readers who may be wondering what to give their relatives at Christmas.

And I’m sure that your generosity is deeply appreciated by your family. Thank you for writing.

••• DEAR ABBY: My husband and I have been dining out with another couple about twice a month. We have not been able to entertain them at our home because it is not easily accessible and the man is in a wheelchair.

Over the past several months, his health has declined. His mind is sharp, but his body is weakening.

The last time we met them for dinner, we N O V E M B E R 2 4 , 2 0 1 6 • V O I C E -T R I B U N E . C O M

11216_Back.indd TVT.indd 60 60

DEAR PEOPLE: If this couple ever needed understanding friends, it’s now. Because you are embarrassed to be seen with them in a restaurant, consider bringing a take-out meal to their home. Granted, watching your friend struggle is painful. But if he’s going downhill as rapidly as you say, he needs your support more than ever and so does his wife.

And when he’s gone, you’ll know you did the right thing.

••• DEAR ABBY: I’m engaged to a wonderful man I have been with for five years. We plan to get married as soon as his house sells and we can move into another home as a family.

He has three children; I have four. Our kids get along well enough, and no serious parenting issues have come up yet.

My concern is, he and his ex-wife haven’t immunized their kids. I have. All four of my children are up to date with their shots. We have agreed to disagree on this subject.

With the kids living together under the same roof, is there anything I should worry about as far as kids getting sick? I have read somewhere that it isn’t good to have kids who are immunized around those who aren’t. Truth? – WANTS THE FACTS IN INDIANA DEAR WANTS THE FACTS: Have you discussed this with their doctors? If you go online and visit vaccines.gov, you will find a complete explanation of why vaccinations are so important and why parents should ensure that their children receive the optimum dose, which may involve two or more shots.

According to the Food and Drug Administration: “For reasons related to the individual, not all vaccinated persons develop immunity. Most routine childhood vaccines are effective for 85 to 95 percent of recipients.”

If your children happen to fall into the unfortunate 5 to 15 percent category of recipients

60

who haven’t developed full immunity, then you should be concerned.

••• DEAR ABBY: My mother-in-law is a wonderful lady, but I’m having a hard time with how she is around my children. She is extremely obsessive over giving them baths, changing their diapers and, basically, just seeing them naked.

I have talked with my husband about it because I don’t think it’s appropriate. I want to discuss this with her, but he thinks it’s no big deal because this is “just the way she is.”

How can I convey the seriousness of this issue?

Or am I overreacting? – JUST THE WAY SHE IS DEAR JUST: I don’t know your mother-inlaw, so I can’t judge her motivations. She was a mother before she became a grandmother, and it may be perfectly innocent. However, if something is going on that makes you uneasy, you must remember that, as your children’s mother, you have a responsibility to put a stop to anything you do not feel is appropriate.

••• DEAR ABBY: My husband has a brother, “Tom,” who is 10 years younger. He recently returned from college and is living with my in-laws. Tom has visited us a few times since his arrival. When he comes over, he doesn’t bother to ring the doorbell or knock; he simply lets himself in.

I don’t appreciate the lack of privacy in my own home. People should at least knock or yell hello from the doorway before barging in. When I told my husband it bothered me, he got upset and defensive and accused me of “picking on” his family. Am I making too much of this? – DING DONG IN TEXAS DEAR DING DONG: No, you’re not. You didn’t mention how long you and your husband have been married, but your home is not a bachelor pad that people drift in and out of.

You are entitled to some privacy and time to cover up if you are in a state of undress. That people ring the bell, knock on the door or yell to announce their presence is not too much to ask. In fact, it’s considered good manners.

P.S. Keeping the door locked could help solve the problem.

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

pets of the week Buddy is a beautiful 3-year-old hound mix who came to the Kentucky Humane Society when his family could no longer care for him.

He has some barrier reactivity with strangers.

We have worked to pair new people with good things like treats. We have also worked to build Buddy’s confidence with new people in all situations by rewarding sits and downs in public places. Buddy will need an adopter who will move slowly with him. And, of course, provide lots of love and treats. Do you have a quiet home and lots of love and patience? He’s neutered, micro-chipped and up to date on his vaccinations. He’s waiting to meet you at our Main Campus, 241 Steedly Drive.

Blake, who’s now 3 years old, came to the Kentucky Humane Society from an overcrowded shelter. This beautiful brown and white cat loves to eat – especially treats. Blake finds it uncomfortable to be picked up and would prefer that you scratch his head and neck.

His idea of a perfect forever home includes a comfortable sunspot to bask in, a pleasant person who gives him all the loving he wants and, of course, a home with treats. Would you have room in your life for this big boy? He’s neutered, micro-chipped and up-to-date on his vaccinations. Come meet him at our adoption center at the Dixie Feeders Supply, 10948 Dixie Highway.

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