The internet was mean this week. I really can’t think of any other way to describe it than those childish playground terms.

I was so relieved to immerse myself in an issue this week that was all about expressions of love on Valentine’s Day. It made me long for those simple days when one of the most satisfying yearly traditions was setting up my Valentine card assembly line at home: carefully tearing along the perforated edges, systematically going down the provided list of names, using my best cursive handwriting, admittedly licking the envelopes when that used to seem grown-up and fun. There was little room for error in my 32-pack. Everyone got one. Those were the rules. There was no “unfriend” option. It didn’t matter who they voted for in the hotly contested class president race. It didn’t matter if they played for a different little league team than you. It didn’t even matter if you really liked them. They still got one-of-four commercially-driven, store-bought, predetermined expressions of kindness from you. Sure, some messages were more targeted than others. The number of underlines clearly multiplied the sincerity of the sentiment though I was never bold enough to let anything other than a simple signature make it past round one and into the hands of my secret crush. Simpler times indeed. Valentine’s Day may be a polarizing holiday that is met with passionate avoidance among many, but instead of allowing it to be another topic that divides us, let’s look to the elementary school model of spreading simple kindness and Tonya Abeln gestures of love to everyone…relatively equally.

This week’s profile on the Ford family who will appear on “Family Feud” January 31 and February 1 was one of the most fun I’ve ever had as a writer. Valeria Ford, the mastermind behind the family’s audition strategy, had me howling with laughter. It’s no wonder at all that this is the second time her larger-than-life personality has landed her on a nationally-televised game show. Although the family is not at liberty to discuss prizes until their episode airs, survey says…you won’t want to miss it.

or the cynics among us, it may be easy to chalk up Valentine’s Day to just another “Hallmark Holiday,” created to fill the gap between Christmas and Easter. But, for local industry insiders, there is a lot of preparation, intention and care behind delivering a product that is anything but mass produced. We checked in with some of the experts from locally-owned and family-operated businesses who have been helping those in the Derby City express their emotion through meaningful gifts for decades, and in some cases, over a century.

Initially, we set out to document wacky Valentine’s Day stories—expressions of love gone wrong or over-the-top gestures. What we found, instead, was a collection of sweet, touching and sentimental moments that have left a lasting impression among the hundreds of clients, customers and orders that are processed around the fourteenth of February. Love really is all around us, and these local businesses are at the heart of it all.

Nanz & Kraft

For every customer that Eddie Kraft has seen walk in at 5 p.m. on Valentine’s Day without a plan, he has seen plenty of others who have orchestrated a thoughtful strategy. “We had a gentleman bring in a new Coach handbag that we filled with 100 roses. There was a man who started sending a single rose on February 1 and then sent two on the second of February and so on and so forth until he sent fourteen on Valentine’s Day. What made that one so special was that he sent a sweet, handwritten card each time.

There was a couple who would be celebrating their fifth wedding anniversary on Valentine’s Day, so, since that anniversary gift is wood, he sent flowers but etched the message out on a wooden plank,” he recalls. His Valentine’s Day stories range from the far out, “We did the flowers for a White Castle wedding one year,” to the sentimental, “There was a customer whose husband was terminally ill, so she came to us to order a bird feeder and we were able to deliver it and set it up right outside of his window so he could watch it,” to the deeply personal, “We had two employees who were engaged and one of them had won a radio promotion to get married in a helicopter. She didn’t know about it and

we had given him the green light to do this on the busiest day of the year. He showed up in a limo and whisked her off to Bowman Field and we had arranged all the flowers there. That was probably 20 years ago.”

Regardless of whether there is an elaborate plan attached to the order, business on Valentine’s Day is about 10 times a regular day at Nanz & Kraft. From his years of experience, Eddie cautions, “I always say there is no reason not to give your loved ones flowers a day or two early. That way, they can display them and enjoy them on the actual holiday. Go ahead and get the hero points.”

With 50 drivers making deliveries on the holiday, this year, Nanz & Kraft has a new way to give back to the community on the busiest day of the year. “We have partnered with a few local charities so that they will send volunteers to help deliver. They will get paid $5 per stop, then, whatever they are able to earn for their charity, we’re going to match it,” Eddie explains.

“We try to make it easy for our customers and we will be ready for those last-minute shoppers. The cooler will be stocked with beautiful arrangements you can grab and go. We’ll have Cellar Door Chocolates, candles and stuffed animals for pairing. The key is to order early but we will have three or four drivers just doing hot shot deliveries if the holiday just slipped up on you,” Eddie says. “I would advise to really put some thought into the card and to personalize that effort.” Above all else, he warns, just don’t go home empty handed.

mostly within the norm.

This year, Davis Jewelers has a targeted collection that Ashley is very excited about that she says, speaks to the “heart” of their business model. “What I love about jewelry designer Charles Krypell, is that his collection is very deep. So, for example, there are pieces that are $99 on up to his high-end collection that could be half a million dollars,” she explains. “He is the ultimate romantic and when he comes into the store, he just exudes passion, love and romance.”

Those attributes are reflected through the tailored pieces of his “love” collection. Ashley continues, “The best thing about it is the understated elegance that has a very iconic look. On the back are discreet messages like, ‘I love you 365 days a year,’ and always with a touch of pink sapphire.” Besides the varied price points, she says the collection makes a great gift year ‘round, from Mother’s Day to a present from a father to a daughter. “Charles will come in to do trunk shows and sign the back of the box or write a note to the recipient on the catalogue. The client experience is very important to him.”

For the client that walks in with no clue as to what he should purchase, Ashley has trained her team to ask a series of discovery questions.

“Sometimes the questions may ever seem odd to the shopper but they help us find exactly the right piece in the effort to make him look like the hero in the end. We want to know about her height, the length of her hair, where she shops which gives us an idea of her clothing style. Trust me, some guys don’t even know if their wife’s ears are pierced,” she laughs. “We are a relational jeweler, not a transactional jeweler, so it is important to us that the piece say exactly what you are trying to convey and is not just another piece of jewelry to add to her collection.”

Davis Jewelers

Ashley Davis, Vice President of Davis Jewelers, says that she takes a lot of pride in making sure their inventory includes giftable items at a reasonable price point. “Buying jewelry,” she explains, “can be an intimidating process. People see this large free-standing building and are afraid that we are going to try to sell them something. The truth is, we may have outgrown the mom and pop look, but we still have the same morals and ethics of the family-owned business that we’ve always been.”

Another hot item for Valentine’s day is a collection of pieces called “Maps by A. Jaffe.” This series allows the buyer to personalize the jewelry with a mapped location that may signify where the couple met, their first kiss, or where they met.

“The most important thing to me during this holiday,” Ashley reiterates, “is that we offer giftable items to every customer at any price point.

Every romantic deserves to be able to express themselves through jewelry.”

From the exotic to the bizarre, there isn’t a request that she wouldn’t at least try to accommodate with a smile. “I try to never say no,” she shares.

“I’ve had a client bring me elk teeth from a hunt that he wanted made into cufflinks. My custom designer once crafted a tie tack that contained a customer’s kidney stone.” For Valentine’s Day, however, requests stay

Susan’s Florist

Amy Streeter of Susan's Florist: 2731 Preston Hwy.

Amy Streeter, owner of Susan’s Florist, is used to doing things on a large scale. Having executed floral designs for events like the Speed Gala for over 10 years, it is not unusual for her to stay overnight at the shop to meet a deadline. She approaches Valentine’s Day the same way. “I start getting ready for Valentine’s Day as soon as Christmas is over,” she explains. “All the vases and roses have to be ordered the first two weeks of January because the pipeline is just so full.”

Roses are still the most standard request, but recent trends show that many customers are gravitating toward a spring mix to control cost. “The price of roses is dictated by the farms and it trickles down, but they are, of course, significantly more expensive this time of year. A lot of women favor tulips, orchids are a lovely and high-style sentiment with a wow factor. We do a lot of cubes with a mix of roses, hydrangea and lilies,” Amy describes. The appeal for most, it seems, is to have flowers delivered to the office or work place to display on a desk. “Business for us is never as good when Valentine’s Day falls on a weekend because people typically go to dinner or on a date as opposed to having flowers delivered.”

“I recently read a quote that said, ‘The fragrance always stays in the hand that gives the rose,’ and that stuck with me because flowers are an extravagance.

Sure, they aren’t a boat or a car, but they aren’t bread and milk either. They aren’t a necessity, they are a luxury. Our customers trust us to turn their emotion into a meaningful sentiment. They deserve to have high expectations,” Amy says.

On the other end of that spectrum, some customers want to write their own card put it in an envelope so the message remains unseen. There has been the occasion when a man buys two sets of arrangements with two separate cards for two different women.

“Of course, it is all confidential,” Amy says. “We are not here to judge. It is a day for lovers, after all!” she laughs.

Customer service is important to the staff at Susan’s Florist, within the parameters of reality. “We are part of a deliver pool system,” Amy explains.

“This allows us to take and prepare orders for delivery to Indiana, Shively or Goshen and then meet with about 20 other florists to exchange for actual delivery. In turn, we deliver everything to 04, 16, 17 and 13 area codes. I think people know if they call for delivery on the 14th, they are slightly pushing their luck, but, we try to accommodate what we can within our neighborhood.”

Merkley Kendrick

Business speeds up for Merkley Kendrick around Valentine’s Day, but Brian Merkley assures that they are in the business of expressing love all year. “After college,” he recalls, “I was under the impression that this business was too material and I didn’t know if I was interested in getting involved. After two months of working here, I realized that people don’t buy fine jewelry to keep up with the Joneses. They buy it because of the emotion and sentiment that is attached to it.”

Often, Brian shares, the staff at Merkley Kendrick will help a husband and wife at separate times, each unaware that the other has made a jewelry purchase to commemorate a special event. “They don’t put it together until the gift-giving occasion,” he says, “so, it’s very rewarding to be part of both sides of that story.

Emotions are why I stayed in the business.”

Rachel Keens at Merkley has helped a number of nervous clients select their engagement ring. “I love to be part of those stories of either helping them select the perfect piece or listening to their plan to pop the question,” she shares.

“Recently, I helped a client select an engagement ring. His girlfriend was going on a girls’ trip to Colorado to see a Ben Sollee concert. He arranged to fly out to surprise her. When she met Ben Sollee backstage before the show, he said, ‘Oh, you’re from Louisville? I think I have someone else here from Louisville.’ At that point, he walked out and got down on one knee. They stopped back in to share the photos with me.”

Brian understands what differentiates his male customers. “Some men really understand jewelry and buy it because of the symbolism and the sentiment behind it. Some guys don’t. Of the ones who don’t, there are some who are still smart enough to buy it because they know the ladies love it.”

For the Valentine’s Day shopper who may not have a clue, Brian says they have a reliable system at Merkley to assure both the giver and receiver are pleased in the end. “I think it is important to walk them through the jewelry basics. Does she have diamond studs? Does she have a nice watch or a strand of pearls? We want her to be able to get a lot of use out of the purchase, and we want him to be able to see it on her often so that he gets to feel that hero moment over and over.”

Well, rience with a nationally-televised maybe that’s not exactly game show. When she and her how the adage goes, but the son, Charles (Little Chuckie) travFord family from Louisville eled to Los Angeles to attend a is doing a fine job of making taping of “The Price is Right,” Business hers was the first name called lifelong memories togethfrom the audience.

She paid when they appear together on “Fam- taxes on both prizes but didn’t end up using ily Feud” Tuesday, January 31, and either: “I don’t like to mess up my hair and no one could get off work to take the trip Wednesday, February 1.

Approximately every two years, the popular television show will stop in to host auditions in Louisville; but, it is rare for a family to be cast their first time out. Tony Smizer, a member of the Ford family recounts, “My Aunt Valeria was the one who coordinated the entire effort and got us all together to audition. We practiced rigorously, at least two to three times a week, and committed to J A N U A R Y 2 6 , 2 0 1 7 • V O I C E -T R I B U N E . C O M

with me and I’m far too friendly to travel alone to a foreign country. I might never have made it back!” she says with a laugh.

When it came to mobilizing her family to audition for “Family Feud,” Valeria had a strategy: “I studied episodes and I knew that you needed to have a balance of personality. Me and my son, we are kind of loud and crazy, but I knew my sister-in-law, Wanda and her son, Tony, were more serious, so I thought with my brother-in-law, Scott, we

would make up a good team.”

Her strategy was right. Valeria convinced the other four to arrive for the Louisville auditions at The Hyatt two-and-a-half hours early so they were among the first in line.

After going head-to-head with other local auditioning families, they were asked to advance to the next stage which consisted of making personal videos about themselves.

Never shy in front of the camera, Valerie had the perfect anecdote to grab their attention. “I love to shop,” she shares. “I have over 500 pairs of shoes in my closet. I wear a size 10, but my collection ranges anywhere from an eight to an eleven. It doesn’t matter if they fit, it only matters that I look cute.”

The family was flown to Atlanta, Georgia for filming, and while they aren’t at liberty to share details that would reveal prizes or how far they made it until the show airs, they have nothing but positive things to share about their experience. “Steve Harvey is one of the most professional and motivating people I have ever met,” Tony recalls. “I have a great amount of respect for everyone that works on the show. It was definitely an experience of a lifetime.” VT COURTESY PHOTO

AWARD-WINNING FIRM TO MANAGE 800 TOWER CITY APARTMENTS City Club Apartments announced that award-winning and nationally recognized Block Multifamily Group will be assuming the leasing and management responsibilities for 800 Tower City Apartments, beginning February 1. The company will be replacing Farmington Hills, Michigan-based Village Green Management, which has been managing the property since 2015. City Club Apartments CEO and 800 Tower City Apartments owner Jonathan Holtzman made the announcement.

“We are thrilled to be sharing this great news,” said Holtzman.

“We selected Kansas City-based Block Multifamily Group because of the company’s outstanding track record, reputation for quality, focus on service and commitment to putting communities and their residents first. Our values, vision and high standards are very much aligned.”

Since Holtzman purchased Louisville’s premier luxury urban apartment high-rise in 2015, the community has undergone a dramatic $11 million transformation that includes the complete redesign and renovation of the entire community including the apartments and penthouses, concierge services, a new boutique hotel-style lobby, business center, conference room, theatre, a 29th floor Sky Club, and a rooftop Sky Park.

The Sky Club includes a gourmet kitchen, fireplace, TVs, flexible lounge seating, and an outdoor terrace with a dining and grilling station. The Sky Club shares the top floor with a new professional fitness center that also has an outdoor Zen garden/yoga area. The rooftop Sky Park includes a pool, sun deck, fire pit, outdoor kitchen and bar, outdoor TVs, and flexible lounge seating – all with panoramic views of Louisville.

Extensive exterior changes include a more pronounced modern entry, updated street and environmental landscaping, new façade lighting and restoration of the original blue color of the building. The building is equipped with AT&T U-verse technology, and was built with Class-G certified green construction practices.

The building includes 286 brand new studio, convertible, oneand two-bedroom apartments and penthouses. A new Italian restaurant, Bar Vetti, will be located on the first floor of the apartment building, with both indoor and outdoor seating.

It will be operated by Louisville Chef Ryan Rogers, owner of Feast BBQ and Royals Hot Chicken, along with Chef Andrew McCabe, current chef at Royals Hot Chicken.

“We have made a significant investment in this building and in this community,” said Holtzman. “It’s our intent to ensure that as we near the completion of the physical transformation of this iconic Louisville treasure, that our residents experience the high level of service, hospitality and amenities that we set out to achieve when we acquired it in 2015. Block will help us make that happen.”

41 COMMUNITY LEADERS SELECTED FOR BINGHAM FELLOWS CLASS OF 2017 From a very competitive pool of candidates, 41 community leaders have been selected to participate in the Leadership Louisville Center’s Bingham Fellows Class of 2017.

WATERSTEP RAISES OVER $200,000 FOR THE LIVING WATER FUND, EXCEEDS MATCH AMOUNT BY $100,000

THE KENTUCKY CENTER’S JULIA YOUNGBLOOD NAMED RECIPIENT OF THE LIFT EVERY VOICE AWARD

Local non-profit WaterStep announced last September that $100,000 in matching grants had been secured for the Living Water Fund, and had to be matched by the end of the year.

Today, the organization is proud to announce that more than $207,000 was raised before the end of 2016, allowing for the full match amount to be met.

Julia Youngblood, director of ArtsReach and Community Arts Education at The Kentucky Center for the Performing Arts, has been recognized by The African American Theatre Program at the Department of Theatre Arts, University of Louisville.

She is being awarded The Lift Every Life Award, presented to individuals for creative work that creates positive social change.

The Living Water Fund provides unrestricted dollars that support WaterStep’s mission to save lives with safe water, sanitation, and health education. In 2016, WaterStep successfully provided aid to disasters-stricken countries in Haiti and Ecuador, shipped 142 M-100 water purifiers and 102 portable bleach makers out to the field, and developed partnerships in 12 countries, including Nigeria and South Sudan where the efforts aided refugees and families in wartorn communities.

This is the third consecutive year that the Living Water Fund’s full match was reached. Since the inception of the Living Water Fund in 2014, WaterStep’s support base has generated more than $800,000 in donations and matching gifts.

“We’ve been absolutely blown away by the generosity of this community and our supporters over the past three years,” says WaterStep Founder and CEO Mark Hogg. “The beauty of the Living Water Fund is that it creates a multiplier effect by increasing the momentum of our own efforts, and continue to work towards efficiency and effectiveness.”

KIDS CENTER ANNOUNCES ACQUISITION OF LOUISVILLE PEDIATRIC THERAPY CENTER Kids Center for Pediatric Therapies, an outpatient therapy clinic serving special needs children from throughout Kentucky and surrounding states, has successfully completed the acquisition of Louisville Pediatric Therapy Center, formerly known as Easter Seals of Kentucky. As a result of this merger, Kids Center grew by 25 percent, now serving more than 1,200 children with developmental disabilities and delays each year.

“Both organizations have been supported for many years

by Kosair Charities,” said Bill Smithwick, executive director of Kids Center. “Because the two organizations had nearly identical missions, Kosair approached Kids Center to consider combining forces to minimize overhead and deliver more care to more children. After careful consideration and planning, the boards of directors of both organizations enthusiastically embraced the plan.”

As a result of the merger, Kids Center now has two clinic locations to better serve families in the region. Kids Center’s original location at 982 Eastern Parkway continues to serve patients; the newest location at 9810 Bluegrass Parkway occupies most of the Kosair Charities East Campus. Both locations are accepting new patients for pediatric physical therapy, occupational therapy and speech-language therapy.

dvertising it as “March Madness is coming early this season,” the NCAA and CBS announced this week that for the first time, fans will get a glimpse of the state of the NCAA Tournament Selection Committee’s mind before the actual bracket is released on Selection Sunday.

Selection Show For many diehard college basketball fans, this is a day they had been fearing for some time.

Selection Sunday is one of the most sacred days on the sports calendar, and you don’t mess with sacred holidays.

So much of the fun of Selection Sunday, even in the era of MIKE the “Bracketologist,” surrounds RUTHERFORD the notion of total surprise. We @cardchronicle may think we have the No. 1 seeds figured out, or the teams who are on the right and wrong sides of the bubble, but the reality is that we have zero idea what the field of 68 is going to look On Saturday, February 11, CBS will host like until we see it for the first time. Then a 12:30 p.m. ET show called the “NCAA there’s a mad scramble to react to the things March Madness Bracket Preview.” Over the we don’t agree with, to peg the biggest early course of 30 minutes, NCAA Men’s Basket- round upsets, and to predict which four ball Chair Mark Hollis will reveal the Com- teams have the best routes to the nationmittee’s top 16 seeds as of that moment, and al semifinals.

At the same time, it’s hard to fault the “We are excited about giving the fans a NCAA and CBS for dipping their collecglimpse to what the men’s basketball com- tive toes into the pre-selection show selecmittee is thinking at this point of the sea- tion show pool.

squared off against Kansas and Kentucky faced Michigan State in the “Champions Classic,” which annually produces two of the highest-rated games of college basketball’s early season slate. The College Football Playoff Rankings show, which took place in between the doubleheader on ESPN, pulled in more viewers than either game did.

The viewers are one thing, but it’s the over-the-top reaction that really makes the rankings show worth it for the powers that be at ESPN and within college football. Immediately following their release, outraged or overjoyed fan bases take to the internet to gloat or call out the selection committee for a perceived slight. The next day on talk radio, the rankings are topic A and topic B across the country. Louisville fans and media members can attest to this firsthand.

With college basketball continuing to struggle for its place in the American sports spotlight, it would feel like an obvious missed opportunity to not piggyback off the success that college football has had with its playoff rankings show. After all, recent years have proven that while interest in college basketball is down during the regular season, the NCAA Tournament is still the most popular sporting event in the Unites States besides the Super Bowl.

Diehard college hoops fans may not like the sanctity of Selection Sunday being tarnished, but ultimately we did this to ourselves. The powers that be in college basketball know we’re going to watch, and they know we’re going to react to it, which makes the move a no-brainer.

Crazy Without a Fox

outh Carolina came into Rupp on Saturday, matching Kentucky’s undefeated record in the SEC.

The Gamecocks also matched the intensity of their coach, Frank Martin, whose glare has been used by NASA to cut through diamonds.

second time in his 15 games this season that he missed double figures. The last time, he scored eight against Louisville.

This time, he didn’t even make single figures.

Catnip STEVE KAUFMAN

What did we learn?

That Kentucky is not nearly as good a team without De’Aaron Fox. The freshman roadrunner hurt his ankle on exactly the kind of play that has been wowing the nation – a slice, a cut and a softie through the nets.

The problem was, somewhere between the slice and the cut, he turned his ankle and hobbled off the court.

And he returned for the start of the second half with his foot in a boot.

So we learned that the high-powered Wildcat offense becomes decidedly lower-powered when he’s not on the court. It labors the ball up the court, fiddles around with it on the outside, makes a few passes that amount to very little and ends up with a shot that probably wasn’t in the Kentucky playbook.

Sometimes, it throws an interception.

Sometimes, it loses the dribble. Sometimes, it steps on the endline.

A few times, John Calipari played a big frontcourt of Bam Adebayo, Wenyan Gabriel and Derek Willis. It wasn’t too bad. They were the team’s three leading scorers behind Malik Monk’s 27 points.

But Monk has got to be the guy – especially when the Cats are mired in a half-court offense, the way they were for much of the South Carolina game, missing the guy who usually drives your transition offense, in high gear and his foot to the floor.

The ball in Isaiah Briscoe’s and Dominique Hawkins’ hands didn’t have the snap, crackle and pop. It slowed up. And when it slows up, you need a guy who can get his shots off and get to the rim. That’s why Monk is leading the SEC in scoring. It’s not just shooting 3s.

Willis and Gabriel helped out. But Briscoe did not. He took only two shots against South Carolina, got not a single free throw attempt, scored zero points. It’s only the J A N U A R Y 2 6 , 2 0 1 7 • V O I C E -T R I B U N E . C O M

TVT.indd 20

He also turned the ball over seven times.

As I’m writing this, I don’t know how serious Fox’s injury is, or how many games he might miss. The Tennessee game was Tuesday night, in Knoxville, always a tough place for the Cats to play. Calipari might have held Fox out of that one, giving him plenty of time to heal and making sure he’s feeling fine and rested when Kansas comes to town on Saturday. The Battle of the Blue Bloods.

More than 4,400 wins, combined. Eleven national championships.

Big Blue Nation wants to protect its undefeated SEC season. The fans want to see the Cats improve their national ranking with a revenge win over Kansas. The Jayhawks won the rivalry a year ago, in Lawrence. That game was Kansas’ revenge for a loss to Kentucky – when was it?? – oh yeah, on April 2, 2012, in New Orleans. For the national championship.

De'Aaron Fox played only 8 minutes in the S C game because he hurt his ankle. He scored 6 points in UK's 85 to 69 win over S C.

That wasn’t a gratuitous reminder of Kentucky’s eighth NCAA title. It was a serious reminder that Calipari never cares much about SEC games during the season. He doesn’t much care about the SEC tournament. He doesn’t much care about mid-season marquee matchups against Michigan State and UCLA, Louisville and Kansas.

He cares because he hates to lose. He cares because he wants his young teams improving and showing they can handle pressure.

But what he particularly cares about are the games that begin when they toss the ball up in mid-March. It’s then that he hopes Fox will be healthy, Briscoe back at the top of his game, turnovers minimized, lazy defensive fouls disappearing, the ball going into Bam, everyone crashing the boards.

And he hopes nobody forgets that Malik Monk is the guy who has carried the team and put the points on the board, the guy nobody can forget.

It took the Fox-less offense two and a half minutes into the second half before Monk touched the ball. Hawkins shot. Briscoe shot.

Gabriel shot. Adabayo went to the line a couple of times.

20

Coach Cal talk to Dominique Hawkins during a break in the action of the S C game. Hawkins played 28 minutes since Fox was injured. Hawkins had 5 points and 7 assists.

South Carolina trailed by four, at 17:42, when Monk took – and made – his first shot of the second half.

That can’t happen against Duke or Villanova, Kansas or UCLA, in March. Not if BBN wants to see Calipari cali-purring. VT

Then to win a tournament by seven strokes and set a PGA Tour record, is it almost too much to believe?

Thomas: Sunday morning was probably the most nervous Mike and I have ever been for a tournament and even Justin said that. All we heard from everybody, including the media was, no one has ever blown a seven-shot lead. You get that in your head and it’s like, well you don’t know.

You could go out and have a terrible hole. Someone could blow a seven-shot lead. We were both really nervous. It didn’t matter what happened.

As much time as you have spent with him, has he changed at all?

He has an agent and they do everything. We still go out and have fun. It’s more important for us for him to be a good person and to be appreciative and to be humble.

That’s the part that we want and all of the other things are great, but not the most important.

Did you see signs that this could be a breakout year for him?

Thomas: He’s played well his first three years and probably not gotten as much out of it. He still has great years. Last year he finished 11th in Fed Ex. The first year he just missed it. He’s become a lot more patient and these last two weeks, he’s hit it well and he’s putted well. All those things don’t come together at the same time. VT COURTESY PHOTO

There’s a new President, but what has remained the the sixth region at 19-2.

It’s the tale of two programs who came into this season with high expectations. Last season, Trinity ended up defeating its arch nemesis St. X to reach the state championship, and to some, it may have been a tossup as to who would come out of the seventh region, considering the region was not as strong as it had been in recent years.

This season though - after playing under the bright lights in Rupp Arena last year Trinity is not only confident, but maybe the favorite, to hoist the state championship trophy come March. They have a team filled with experience, and nine seniors on a roster who want to make some noise in their final season as a high school basketball player.

The Rocks took a hard hit the beginning of the season after losing their floor general, Jacob King, to an injury. Trinity prevailed, winning eight of their first nine games, which included winning the King of the Bluegrass tournament over the holidays.

What’s intriguing was that during the span, Trinity would clash with Fern Creek twice, which would become the makings to see who, perhaps, the best team in Kentucky is. In their first match-up, it was Fern Creek who ‘upset’ Trinity, beating them 65-61. Trinity was led by its leading scorer Jay Scrubb (16.0 pts a game) who tallied 15 points, but it was the Creek’s Chance Moore who led his Tigers to one of its biggest wins in program history.

It became a milestone that helped solidify things Fern Creek already knew were true P H OTO B Y D A M O N AT H E R TO N

same is the Shamrocks and Tigers are neck and neck as the state’s top two teams. Fern Creek has lived up to their mantra: We Run the Six, going 12-1 since their loss to Trinity back in December, with the only loss coming to Hopkinsville.

What have we learned from three meetings between the top two teams in the state?

Well, both are really good, and each contest seems to be a seesaw, back-and-forth affair.

It’s hard to say which team is better than the other from their match-ups. But what we can take away, is that both teams have tons of experience, led by big time guards and forwards, and both have a level of focus to not simply settle for a regional championship, but to be affirmed as the best team in the state of Kentucky.

In terms of wins and losses, Fern Creek has the upper hand, but possessions at the end of a game, free throws and overall execution all make a world of a difference when these two heavyweights have stepped onto the hardwood.

Perhaps in March, fans wouldn’t mind seeing the saga continue, a Part Four between the Shamrock and the Tiger, in a game where it would be win or go home. VT

Trinity has gotten stronger with the return of Jacob King in the line-up. They’ve gone 10-2 since winning the KOB tournament, with one of the losses coming at the hands of Oldham County, losing a close one 60-59.

Who was the other loss to you might ask?

Well, it came at the hands of a vicious Fern Creek Tiger bunch, who didn’t forget their loss back in December. Yes, in their third game already this regular season, Fern Creek beat Trinity in the third go-around, 65-58 in overtime, in the Louisville Invitational Tournament, propelling them to their first LIT Championship in program history.

Holding less than 500 passengers, the Navigator is considered to be a small ship.

We think of it as comfy and cozy with all the comforts anyone could want without walking great long distances to do everything. In short, we love it.

After leaving Guatemala we sailed north along the coast of Central America for a full day arriving in Acapulco the next day.

The last time I was in Acapulco World War II had just ended. Mother and a group of ladies (and one husband) from the Crescent Hill Woman’s Club took a train trip to Mexico. I was a child but it made a lasting impression on me. I loved it. I got to paint with Diego Rivera who was doing a mural to decorate our hotel. But that is another story.

This time we sailed into the natural harbor of Acapulco Bay. The Fuerte de San

One of the really nice things about the dining service on the Navigator is the ability to order, 24 hours in advance, almost anything you want to eat. Well, with more than 40 countries represented in the crew, we figured it would be easy for them to come up with a special ethnic dinner for us and our friends Cathy and Richard. We chose an Indian dinner and it was wonderful. I am sure that the Indian members of the crew hoped there were leftovers to be enjoyed.

Another day at sea followed Acapulco and then we were in Cabo San Lucas, also known as Land’s End. There is a distinctive arched rock formation located at the extreme southern end of Mexico’s Baja California Peninsula where the Sea of Cortez joins the Pacific Ocean.

Most of the shops in downtown Cabo are within a block of the marina area and are typical beach shops. We went out to a local restaurant to learn about the process

of creating tequila and sample three of Mexico’s finest tequilas. It was hard to keep straight what the differences were. I just knew one was clear, one was pale yellow and the third golden. I did discover that unlike gin on the rocks, “straight-up” tequila is not one of my favorite beverages.

However, the guacamole, salsa, chips, a tortilla filled with creamed shrimp and rice, a taco of pulled pork and black beans, and tiny wedges of a three-layered chocolate cake served along with the tequilas made it all go down just fine. And it replaced lunch for the day.

Back “home” we were invited to sail across the port and visit the new Regent ship, “Explorer.” It is over the top and is a showcase of luxury and beauty and I am going to save telling you more about it until next week when we leave San Diego and head for Hawaii.

Continuing our “round the world” culinary adventure that evening we had a Filipino dinner, once again with Cathy and Richard. It is hard to remember all the good things that were on it. I believe it was even better than the Indian dinner.

The next day was at sea and we continued to go to the morning and afternoon lectures.

The lecturers on this segment of the cruise are from Smithsonian, and they are good.

One has dealt with “Movie Memories” with lots of old movie clips and stories of bygone stars. The final lecture focused exclusively on the making of the “Wizard of Oz.” I had forgotten that Judy Garland was not the first choice to play Dorothy and that the dog that played Toto had to go on sick leave for three days after being stepped on.

“Jazz Greats” was the subject the second lecturer focused on. Ella Fitzgerald was my favorite, but the ones on Ray Charles and

I have a whole suitcase full of books that I have been plowing thru in our off time. We are still looking for two more people with which to play “Hand & Foot” canasta. On the ship, TV subject matter is limited. Lots and lots of on demand movies whenever you want to watch them. But live TV is limited to CNN, FOX, BBC and MSNBC, plus reruns of the onboard lectures and descriptions of future shore excursions.

For the moment, our last ethnic dinner was a Thai extravaganza. I don’t ever get tired of things made with rice noodles and lemongrass. If Brad ever finds a day when he has skipped breakfast and lunch he is going to order a two-lobster dinner. You can always have all you want of anything you want, and his mission is to run the ship out of lobster. I don’t think I would bet against him on this objective.

The night before arriving in San Diego we were invited to have dinner with the ship’s general manager, Davor Josipovic. He is in charge of everything on the ship except the actual running of it. On other ships this position is known as the hotel manager. We were joined by another couple from San Antonio, Richard and Lana Breakie who were delightful. It seems he was a YUM!

We talked until nearly 10:30.

Our last port in North America was two days in San Diego. It was pouring down rain when we sailed in about noon. I was supposed to go on a trolley ride around San Diego and Brad was to go to the San Diego Zoo Safari Park for three hours. The rain was too much to go out so we watched a double feature. (Bet you haven’t heard that expression in a long time). “Pete’s Dragon” and “Florence Foster Jones” with popcorn from Room Service. It ended up being a vacation from a vacation.

Speaking of room service, it is available at no extra cost, 24 hours a day. At two in the morning if you want a steak and a milkshake, just call and they come right along with it as soon as they freshly prepare the steak. Knowing this has not made any difference. We have never done it.

Approximately 150 guests got off the ship in San Diego and a similar number got on as we prepared to leave for four days in Hawaii and a leisurely sail among the South Pacific islands toward New Zealand. VT

SPOTLIGHT

Lobster Feast

Enjoy an all-you-can-eat lobster feast, signature cocktails, dancing and silent and live auctions, all in support of Actors Theatre of Louisville. We chatted with Lobster Feast co-chairs Mac and Jessica Thompson to get all the details on this can’t-miss event!

What is Lobster Feast?

Lobster Feast is Actors Theatre’s annual costumed fundraiser. With many thanks to our generous guests and sponsors, the event raises money to ensure our community has access to vibrant, world-class theater. Our guests are treated to all-you-can-eat lobster, an inspired dinner buffet, silent and live auctions, signature cocktails and dancing. You will even get a taste of the theater, as many of our acting apprentices will be on hand to entertain.

Tell us about this year’s theme and how it came about.

Our lobster team loves to try new things and think outside of the box. Doesn’t it sound absurd to host a beach party in the dead of winter?

Absolutely, let’s try it! Several years ago, this event was a black-tie affair, but today, we find ourselves taking a break from the winter doldrums by donning resort wear and heading to the boardwalk.

It’s an honor and a privilege to be part of this planning. We have so much fun!

What are your suggestions for how a guest should plan their attire for the evening?

The most important thing about dressing for Lobster Feast is that you feel comfortable and don’t mind getting a little melted butter or lobster-shell projectiles on your clothes. I’m always blown away by all the fantastic costumes our guests come up with. This year I hope to see mermaids, snorkelers, surfers, perhaps a few vintage bathing costumes...but I’m also hoping that guests will just reach into their closet and pull out their favorite resort wear and sandals. No matter the theme, casual attire is always encouraged.

Are there any design elements you can reveal about this year’s event?

The moment guests step off the elevator, they J A N U A R Y 2 6 , 2 0 1 7 • V O I C E -T R I B U N E . C O M

will be swept away to a warmer climate, strolling the beach boardwalk and enjoying cold drinks at the tiki bar. On your way to the silent auction tables, you will want to stop and take a few pictures in front of the scenic backdrops.

Dive into the ballroom where you will find yourself seated on the ocean floor for dinner and the live auction program, immediately followed by dessert and dancing.

Can you give us some insight on this year’s extended buffet menu? What if you don’t like seafood?

Chef Graham Weber at The Marriott has once again proposed an amazing themed menu for the evening. Guests will be greeted with boardwalk-inspired appetizers, including a twist on soft-serve cones and Coney Island hot dogs. The extended buffet will feature traditional accompaniments as well as barbecued chicken, loaded baked potatoes and ratatouille for anyone that may not be up for tackling lobster.

The boardwalk theme continues with funnel cakes and caramel corn for dessert as the dancing begins. All of this is on top of the 1,500+ lobsters that will be presented tableside to our guests for dinner!

What sponsors do you have on board this year?

I’m super excited to share that Old Forester will be our presenting sponsor this year!

Their team has been fun to collaborate with and has embraced our unique theme by creating two delicious signature cocktails. One cocktail, the Piña Shellada, is inspired by everyone’s beachside favorite, while another cocktail will be a tropical twist on the Old Fashioned, the Boardwalk Bourbon Breeze. Supporting sponsors include Delta Dental, Republic National Distributing, White Clay and our media

44

sponsor, The Voice-Tribune. I’m also excited to welcome back valued partner Art Eatables, who will be presenting a dessert display on our boardwalk as well as crafting truffles exclusively for our VIP tables.

Are there any auction items you can expect to result in competitive bidding?

Whether guests are interested in the theater, travel, sports, style or wine, our silent and live auctions will offer something for everyone to bid on! We always focus on finding very unique items and experiences for our guests. The live auction will feature a trip to Ireland to visit the home of Brown-Forman’s newest brand, Slane Irish Whiskey! During your trip, you’ll experience a tour and tasting at the distillery followed by a tour of Slane Castle and a traditional Irish lunch. Our auctions will also feature an amazing collection of wines curated by Bill Juckett, an incredible glass art piece by Casey Hyland, as well as fabulous private dinners with local chefs and much, much more.

We will be using BidPal, so guests will be able to register and start shopping even before the start of the event. Visit our event page at bidpal.net/actorstheatre to view a complete list of auction packages and gain early access to bidding. You don’t need to be present at Lobster Feast to bid on items, but please plan to arrive with a fully charged smartphone.

Is it too late to get tickets?

Tickets are still available, but please order soon as space is limited! You can order tickets online, or contact Susan Bramer at sbramer@ actorstheatre.org or 502.584.1265 (ext. 3085).

Tickets are $300 per person, $3,000 for a table (seats 10) and $5,000 for a VIP Table (seats 10). We estimate the value of goods and services provided to be $150 per ticket. VT P H OTO B Y J O N AT H A N R O B E R T S

Neutral Knockout It has been said that “natural beauty is rarely achieved naturally.” If your beauty vibe is more daytime chic than after-dark diva, the most important rule of thumb is to pamper and prep your skin consistently with a great moisturizer (drinking lots of water helps too). Primp makeup artist, Samantha Stewart, lets natural beauty shine in this look by using a light coverage foundation. Earth tones are always a sure bet, but don’t be afraid to experiment with a little bit of color to accentuate your best features. Use subtle shimmer sparingly to highlight cheekbones and on the base of the eyelid. A thin layer of eyeliner should be applied to the top lid and a generous dose of mascara is a must for playing up doe-eyed innocence. Top off with a nude or blush lip gloss so everyone will think you just woke up like this.

Technology advances, fashions change and sometimes, relationships dissolve. But a tattoo of an ex’s name doesn’t just disappear. Not naturally, anyway. But a solution does exist, and Take It Off Laser Tattoo Removal can help you do just that – take it off.

Blast off the Past Health

The reasons people get tattoos, and eventually get them removed, are due to emotions, good and bad. Davidson says, “They remove them for job promotions, to enlist in the military, to forget bad memories, bad artwork, are tired of looking at them, or sometimes it’s the parents or grandparents that insist they be removed. The list goes

“These would fall under the bad memory category,” Davidson says. “Some clients cry when we remove them and others jump for joy.” These are the kind of removals performed daily, and with emotions high in these circumstances, it’s no wonder that they must maintain a high level of finesse when scheduling their clients. “We have ex-husbands and ex-wives come in for removal, so we stay very aware of these appointments so we don’t schedule them at the same time.”

RICHIE GOFF

Three years ago, Autumn Davidson opened Take It Off to solve a seemingly permanent conundrum. A working esthetician for the past 23 years, she has done facials, chemical peels, oxygen facials, microdermabrasion and LED light therapy, but she became interested in working with tattoos.

What sets Take It Off apart, besides the clever name, is their desire to help people change their lives and remove bad memories.

on.” Clients also get laser treatments to dull the pigment so they can get a cover-up tattoo in place of the original. Whatever the reason, the most common tattoo removal remains consistent: names from a failed relationship and wedding band tattoos.

“We had been working on a man’s wedding ring removal, and it was disappearing nicely. His ex-wife was going to another studio for her removal but noticed his tattoo was going faster than hers and she wasn’t having it. So she called and made an appointment with us.” What makes the technology at Take It Off so advanced is their use of the Quanta Q-Plus C laser, the best on the market, which leaves a less than 5 percent chance of scarring. With a procedure so personal, it’s important to have professionals who can do it quickly and effectively, and with the best technology in Kentucky.

“The procedure is usually very quick,” relays Davidson. “We take extra good care of our clients from beginning to end and keep them comfortable and their anxiety down.” New clients come in for a free 30-minute consultation, during which they discuss the age of the tattoo, skin type, ink colors and density, as well as any medications they take. After the area is cleaned, a cooling machine numbs the spot and the laser treatment begins. The treatment can take anywhere from one to 30 minutes depending on the tattoo size. Much like getting a tattoo, having one removed is not without its discomfort.

“Probably the worst part of tattoo removal is the actual treatment itself,” admits Davidson. “It feels like a heavy rubber band smacking you during the treatment but it’s short lived.” She recommends Advil as a pretreatment option to dull the sting, assuring that the soreness dissipates shortly afterward. Treatments are scheduled four to eight weeks apart, and it can take three to 12 sessions, depending on the quality of the tattoo.

Be certain, a little pain is no match for a permanent reminder of love-gone-wrong. VT Take It Off Laser Tattoo Removal 13808 Lake Point Way 502.377.7282 takeitofflasertatooremoval.com COURTESY PHOTOS

Valentine's Day Memories

We asked guests of The Voice-Tribune Kickoff at Napa River Grill with Woodford Reserve to share their best or worst Valentine’s Day memories with us.

Some stories are sweet, others are sour, but they are all memories to be savored. —Tonya Abeln

“My wife had arranged a Valentine’s Day weekend at The Seelbach. We sat in the smoking section at The Oak Room since this was back when that was still an option in restaurants. I don’t smoke cigarettes, but I thought it would be nice to have a cigar with an after dinner drink. People started complaining and the server asked me to put it out. I said, ‘Isn’t this the smoking section? I’ve been dealing with everyone’s cigarette smoke throughout the entire meal.’ Eventually they had the head maître d’ approach me to tell me to put it out. At this point, it had ruined our dining experience so we went to the room. I let them know I was unhappy and was introduced to Chef Jim Gebhardt who was very kind and apologetic. The next morning, an enormous breakfast spread arrived at our room compliments of the chef. Then, when we went to check out, we were told that everything had been taken care of by Chef Gebhardt. We have remained great friends with Jim for years following that.” —Tom Gorter with his wife, Vaneda.

“My wife arranged for us to spend Valentine’s Day at Biltmore Hotel in Asheville. She had thoughtfully purchased her own rose petals and arranged them on the bed. Apparently, they had been dyed because they ended up turning the $300 white sheets red! I tipped house cleaning to keep it between us.” —Tom Waller

“One year, for Valentine’s Day, I had three dates: One was for cocktails, the next was for dinner and the last was a dessert date. I guess I saved the best for last because I ended up marrying my dessert date. That was 31 years ago.” —Ceal Vish with her husband, Dale.

“My late husband and I traveled abroad to pick up our son that we were adopting. It was the second time we were going to see him and it happened to fall on Valentine’s Day. What better way to spend that holiday than discovering this person that would end up being one of the true loves of my life.” —Teia Garner showing a picture of her son, Jimmy.

“I got married two days after Valentine’s Day and it was one year to the day after the first date with my husband.”

LIFE

OUT & ABOUT

“I once got fired for from a job on Valentine’s Day.” —Pam Ritter

“I started dating my husband in 1964 when we were 16. We had saved our money to go to a nice restaurant for Valentine’s Day. It was Stouffer’s Top of the Tower (what is now Wayside Mission). We were both so nervous that we wouldn’t know how to behave in the such a fancy restaurant. We spent so much time worrying about how to act and then someone stole our umbrella while we were there.” —Svea Allgeier with her husband, Ron.

Classic Style for Modern Times

“M

ad Men” may have gone off the air in 2015, but the renewed interest the show inspired for the aesthetic and style of the mid-20th century is alive and well. Just ask Judy Champion.

Homes APRIL CORBIN

The owner of 2023 Mid-Century Modern Furnishings on Frankfort Avenue, she has been handpicking and selling vintage furniture, home décor, clothing and jewelry from this era for more than two decades.

The shop is filled with shelves upon shelves of glittering costume jewelry, rows of handbags and delicate gloves ready for a night out at the gala or Derby, and figurines that are sure to start conversations as you entertain at your stylish home. Then, of course, there are the furniture pieces, which are built to last and timeless with their marriage of form and function.

“This is the type of furniture people pass down,” says Champion. “I think they’re selling better because of the good design and the classic quality. Most think of antique as old 19th century, but these are the new antique things.”

What you won’t find at 2023 is any Coca-Cola or Elvis memorabilia. Those icons are ubiquitous in the era, but the shop focuses on more unexpected treasures of the past. Many of the pieces come with interesting stories or aspects that set them apart J A N U A R Y 2 6 , 2 0 1 7 • V O I C E -T R I B U N E . C O M

TVT.indd 50

While 2023 started out focusing on furniture, the store has expanded far beyond that. The early and mid-20th century is known as the heyday of costume jewelry, and the store reflects that. from newer merchandise that is vintage-inspired but not truly from the era.

Take, for example, a glass bar ware set, whose thick glass is printed with recipes of popular drinks from the era. Sure, there’s the Manhattan that everyone today still knows and loves; but, there’s also the Saratoga, the New Yorker and the Bronx.

“Who makes those anymore? Stuff like that makes these pieces stand out,” says Champion. She adds that one of the things she loves about her work is that all of the pieces that come through her door have a history or story behind them.

While 2023 started out focusing on furniture, the store has expanded far beyond that.

The early and mid-20th century is known as the heyday of costume jewelry, and the store reflects that. Shelves at 2023 are full of rhinestone and bakelite finds. (Bakelite, an early plastic, was famously beloved by Andy Warhol.) Customers often purchase these types of pieces in order to pair them with more modern or contemporary clothing for a fun and original look.

“Fashion rules have gone out the window,” says Champion. She gives the example that women once considered rhinestones to be an eveningwear. “It used to be you wore it after

50

6 p.m. Now you see it with blue jeans.”

Likewise, things that were once considered solitary pieces of jewelry are often now paired with others for a more contemporary, layered effect. That means that the store is a must-visit even for people who aren’t obsessed with completely recreating the “Mad Men” look in their own lives.

“We are pretty popular with brides now,” explains Champion. Brides looking for a fresh take on the traditional floral bouquet purchase handfuls of brooches in order to make their own, savable bouquet. Others are simply looking for fun brooches to give their bridal party as a unique gift.

Handbags also remain a popular item for the store, and over the years Champion has noticed that prospective customers always do one thing with the often sleek, sometimes angular handbags and clutches that ruled the mid-century day.

“They always have to make sure their cell phone fits,” she says with a laugh. VT 2023 Mid-Century Modern Furnishings 2023 Frankfort Avenue 502.899.9872 2023vintagequality.com

Louisville Finds Its Way Back to Weygold in New Exhibit at Speed

spent a snowy Saturday morning touring the Speed Art Museum’s latest exhibit, “Picturing Arts & American Indian Cultures: The Art Entertainment of Kentucky’s FredMINDA erick Weygold.” My HONEY esteemed guides, Kim Spence and Dr. Christian Feest, had the spark of colleagues who greatly admire each other.

Spence is the Speed’s highly experienced curator of prints, drawings and photographs and Dr. Feest – who was in town from Vienna, Austria – is an internationally established and well-respected expert of Native American art and culture.

While construction crews at the Speed Art Museum banged away at renovations for three years, Spence and Dr. Feest were behind-the-scenes building, too.

Theirs is a collaboration that spanned years and oceans to revive the legacy of Frederick Weygold. Weygold, an artist and intellectual, was the founding curator of the Speed Art Museum’s Indian Department in the 1930s. Spence says, “Visitors to the exhibition will have the singular opportunity to see paintings that have been in private collections since the artist’s death in 1941 and highlights from an extensive collection of J A N U A R Y 2 6 , 2 0 1 7 • V O I C E -T R I B U N E .

follows the fight of the Lakota Language Consortium to preserve the dying Lakota language.

As we made our way through the exhibit, it was impossible not to think of the #NoDAPL protestors and the Standing Rock Sioux – who belong to the Dakota and the Lakota nations. “I couldn’t see [Weygold] protesting with his stiff German manner,” says Dr. Feest. Rather, he suspects, Weygold who was passionate about Indian rights and environmentalism, would have worked to change public opinion through lectures.

I challenged Spence and Dr. Feest to select their favorite works of art from the exhibit.

over 1,500 drawings and watercolors owned by the Speed.”

Weygold is Kentucky’s. And Missouri’s. And Germany’s. And probably even a little bit of South Dakota’s too. He was born in St. Charles, Missouri, in 1870. At the age of 15, his father sent him to Germany to finish his schooling. He eventually found his way to Louisville where he would live out the last 33 years of his life. It was during this phase of his life that he also spent time on the Pine Ridge Reservation in South Dakota.

For Spence and Dr. Feest it was a priority to include a contemporary Lakota voice. Dean Otto, the Curator of Film at the Speed, suggested the film "Rising Voices /Hótȟaȟiȟpi." The film

Pictographic painted shirt, Frankfurt: As an art historian, Spence chose this painting because of the way Weygold approached it as an artist rather than as a “flat scientific exploration.”

She highlighted his creativity in color and how the light falls across the artwork.

Lone Dog’s Winter Count: Dr. Feest explained that a winter count, “Characterizes the year since the last winter… not world changing events, but deaths and small news of community.” This particular winter count spurred an interest in the copying and collecting of winter counts.

In the fantastical land of Titipu, the Mikado makes a law. But when his own son falls for the delightful Yum-Yum, who can carry out the execution decreed as punishment for the crime? “The Mikado” is a pointed satire of the manners, politics and institutions of Victorian-era Britain; it deals comically and absurdly with pompous officials, prudish etiquette and other foolishness.

Delightful and instantly recognizable, the music of “The Mikado” features some of Gilbert and Sullivan’s best work. The show is performed in English with English supertitles. There will be performances February 10 and 12 in The Brown Theatre. Tickets start at $34.

She told me a story she saw in the news about a seemingly normal man who ended up killing people to steal their money to pay for his wedding. That's scary, but I don't think it warrants hiring a PI to follow my future fiance around. I think my mom is going beyond being overprotective. What do you think? -- FEELING CONFLICTED DEAR FEELING CONFLICTED: I agree with you. What your mother is proposing is the definition of helicopter parenting.

I'll bet she wouldn't like it one bit.

••• DEAR ABBY: I would like to see how other wives would handle this. I have a "friend" who constantly calls my husband her "boyfriend." She's married, and I'm sure this irks her spouse too. Every time they come over, she has to give my husband a really big hug (she has a large chest).

I feel what she's doing is inappropriate and want to know what you recommend to put a stop to this. It has reached the point I wish they would quit coming here. My husband and I are both polite people, but I would like for this to cease. -- POLITE PAT IN THE SOUTH DEAR POLITE PAT: I'm a wife and here's how I'd handle it. I would have your husband tell your friend privately that her effusiveness is embarrassing and to please stop doing it. If he doesn't feel comfortable doing this, talk to the woman yourself and tell her that when she calls your husband her boyfriend, it offends you, and that HER husband should be her boyfriend.

PUZZLES

pets of the week One-year-old Hank is a Hound mix who came to the Kentucky Humane Society when his owners realized they couldn’t care for him. Hank is a happy-go-lucky guy who loves to play with tennis balls, squeaky toys, rope toys-you name it! Hank has a lot of energy and needs someone who will have time to let him burn off that energy in a constructive way. Hank has some fear of vacuums and brooms, and we ask that his new owners help him get used to those slowly. Hank is neutered, micro-chipped and up-to-date on his vaccinations. Come meet him at our adoption center in the Pewee Valley Feeders Supply, 12406 La Grange Road. For more on Hank or any of our adoptable pets, please call 502-366-3355 or visit kyhumane.org.

Four-year-old Maw Maw is a lovely Calico kitty who loves being with her human. Her sleepy eyes let you know how happy she is to feel the gentle stroke of your hand.

Maw Maw will reward your attention with soft purrs and a warm snuggle. She’s just so happy to be loved and to love another. Won’t you give Maw Maw the home she deserves? She’s spayed, micro-chipped and up-to-date on her shots. Come visit her at the Kentucky Humane Society’s adoption center at the Dixie Feeders Supply, 10948 Dixie Highway. For more on Maw Maw or any of our adoptable pets, please call 502-366-3355 or visit kyhumane.org.
