Teddy Abrams readies the Louisville Orchestra for the upcoming Festival of American Music�

4 4/11/17 3:01 PM

I have never wanted to be a child again more than when I was compiling this week’s Summer Camp Guide. The wealth of opportunity to learn, grow, thrive and create during those three short months is incredible and worth being thoughtful about when scheduling your family summer. It makes me mourn the many wasted hours of my childhood summer months in front of my television following the dramatics of Marlena Evans, Stefano DiMera, John Black and Bo and Hope. I’m sure I learned something from “Days of our Lives,” I’m just not sure it was practical – or age-appropriate. I have heard from friends who are starting to navigate their own summer camp family schedules that putting it together is a complicated puzzle.

I hope that our comprehensive guide serves to lessen that frustration for you and that at least you feel like we completed the outside edges for you. Regardless of how you put it together from here, the children of Louisville are lucky to have these experiences at their fingertips.

Adults and children of Louisville alike are also lucky to have Teddy Abrams as one of our local arts leaders. Since his arrival to the Derby City music scene in 2012 as music director and conductor of Louisville Orchestra, the versatile musician has made it his mission to produce live music in a way that is more accessible to everyone in the city, often collaborating with local musicians of various genres. Similarly, he shares that the upcoming Festival of American Music is not just about music Tonya Abeln written for orchestra. In his interview with writer Bill Doolittle, he promises that this year’s festival will explore lots of jazz and blues, but he doesn’t rule out future exploration with folk, bluegrass and actual hymns.

This summer, a music camp may inspire a future Teddy Abrams, or perhaps a writing workshop could help mold our next local author like writer and illustrator Paul Harshaw, featured in this issue for his recent release of the delightful children’s book “Silo and Plyler’s Derby Horse Adventure.” Regardless of their creative or academic paths, thanks to the experts and educators that will help lead them through what used to be known as the lazy days of summer, their future is as bright as the summer skies.

TEDDY ABRAMS AND THE LOUISVILLE ORCHESTRA CONJURE UP A SIX-CONCERT EXPOSITION OF MUSIC AMERICAN-STYLE

By Bill Doolittle

From Tanglewood to Woodstock, music lovers relish their music festivals.

But it won’t just be foot-tapping and passing the peace pipe when Teddy Abrams and the Louisville Orchestra kick off the second annual Festival of American Music on Friday night – with a six-concert, three-stage festival running over 16 days (April 14-29). Abrams intends to get some serious work done exploring American music.

Which means the orchestra won’t simply be covering a Top40 list of American hits. Abrams will be calling upon many artists of many genres to create their own “authentic” American sound.

“When we think of the American sound, it’s almost always something vaguely called ‘Copland-y’ or ‘Gershwin-like,’” says Abrams. “But if you’re building a festival around American music, you have to get beyond music written for orchestras – to discover actual jazz, actual bluegrass, actual folk music, actual hymns, actual cowboy tunes.”

Abrams won’t be shining a spotlight on yodeling cowboys – at least not this year. But don’t be surprised if a future Festival of American Music showcases a modern day version of Bob Wills and the Texas Playboys.

Abrams wishes to include it all. But he says this year’s edition of the Festival of American Music will especially explore jazz and blues.

“If we were to think of an orchestra playing a piece with an American sound, it would probably be something like Aaron Copland’s ‘Fanfare for the Common Man’ or ‘Appalachian Spring,’” muses Abrams – noting that both Copland and George Gershwin will indeed be featured in this year’s festival.

“But if you’re thinking of purely American music, it is a much bigger picture. This country came up with blues and jazz, our own popular music and rock and roll. Virtually every style that came along in the second half of the 20th century wouldn’t exist without blues and jazz. It’s distinctly American – as is bluegrass and rap. I’m always thinking of that bigger picture.”

Turning the spotlight on his bigger picture, Abrams has lined up an eclectic cast of performers and composers – beginning with the festival’s opening night, this Friday, when rock-pop pianist Ben Folds performs on the Whitney Hall stage.

On Saturday, Abrams will be joined by his mentor, San Francisco Symphony Music Director Michael Tilson Thomas, in what almost sounds like a jam session for longhairs. Tilson Thomas and Abrams will each step to the podium to conduct the Louisville Orchestra. And possibly perform a piano duet – or, Tilson Thomas will play piano and Abrams will play clarinet. The only sure thing is there will be plenty of spontaneous conversation with the audience.

Probably it will all come out smoothly because the two maestros have a long professional association. It began when Abrams, a budding Bay Area musician, showed up unannounced seeking to become a pupil of Tilson Thomas, one of the world’s foremost conductors. A mentorship ensued and Abrams eventually earned an introductory position with Tilson Thomas’s San Francisco Symphony. In a few years, Abrams was off for college at the Curtis Institute, but Tilson Thomas soon brought Abrams back on board with the acclaimed New World Symphony in Miami. An ongoing video project called “Music Makes a City NOW,” created by

Owsley Brown III, features Abrams conducting the Louisville Orchestra and teaching youthful prospects with the New World Symphony – with Teddy talking tunes with Tilson Thomas.

Featured in Saturday night’s concert is George Gershwin’s “An American in Paris,” and a Copland work commissioned and recorded by the Louisville Orchestra for its First Edition label in 1959. One of Abram’s major goals is to resurrect the Louisville Orchestra’s musical prominence of a half-century ago – when the symphony, under the direction of Robert Whitney, sparkled as a major promoter of new symphonic music.

The orchestra’s First Edition label, funded by the Rockefeller Foundation, produced a catalog of 52 new compositions and 150 LPs. New American compositions pop up throughout the festival’s five concerts.

Rachel Grimes, the well known and well appreciated Louisville pianist and composer, is featured on programs at The Temple, Adath Israel Birth Shalom, Thursday, April 20, and at the Ogle Center, Indiana University Southeast, Friday, April 21. The Ogle Center is one of the area’s best acoustic stages.

Grimes’ work “Book of Leaves” includes the nicely named song (or “leaf,” perhaps) “My Dear Companion.” Also on the program is “Island Rhythms” by Joan Tower and “Run for the Roses” by Rene Orth. Then there’s a piece called “The Bluegrass” composed by Louisville native Noah Sorota, prominent

honor all these elements of American music was to give each concert a central identity. Two of our concerts this year are celebrations of iconic American artists: Michael Tilson Thomas and Ben Folds.”

But it is a big canvas – so spread out a big blanket. There’s plenty here to hear.

The series concludes with concerts in Whitney Hall April 28 and 29, with jazz and R&B music prominently featured. On the bill is Herbie Hancock’s classic “Cantaloupe Island,” performed by Louisville saxophonist Jacob Duncan. And Abrams conducts selections from his new opera “The Greatest: Muhammad Ali.” It’s a dizzying smorgasbord of American music – and we’ve highlighted just a few of the works and musicians.

Camp Creativity at the Speed

S

Summer camps often bring to mind the great outdoors, sleeping away from home or playing sports. However, many children prefer to stay indoors and flex their creative muscles instead. Fortunately, our city’s very own Speed Art Museum offers several unique camps in a one-of-akind environment that celebrates art and imagination.

This summer, the Speed will welcome campers ages 5 through 14 with special classes for 3- and 4-year-olds. Classes are sorted by ages 5-7, 8-10 and 11-14, and each age group has options based on which medium or theme they are interested in. Because of the variety offered, campers have the opportunity to explore multiple media with experienced art teachers. Painting, sculpture, photography, collage, printmaking and paper crafts are just a few of the modes of art making

campers will get to employ. Last year’s sessions included some very special activities, such as creating a colorful shaving cream and paper craft, and using a pendulum machine to force paint onto paper.

“We want to steer away from activities the kids can do at home or have already done at school,” explains Taylor Bothwell, art teacher and coordinator of community outreach at the Speed. “They get to do a lot of experimentation and engaging with materials that are special and different from what they’d normally do.”

In addition to creating unique art projects, the teachers also encourage art education during their lessons. Both classical and contemporary artists are covered, and they even incorporate other creative media such as music and storytelling. Each course is designed to fit the skill set and abilities of specific age ranges so campers can expand their minds and creativity while working

“The camps are really open to anyone, even if they haven’t shown an interest in art before. We’ve had kids come in before who have only done sports camps before, but by the end of their week with us, they’re really excited about art.”

within their comfort level.

This year’s camps for 5- to 7-year-olds include Sculpture Extravaganza, Mixed Media Mania, Around the World and Animals Tall and Small. For 8- to 10-year-olds, there’s Art Explorers: Goin’ Green, Pop Art + Op Art, Storybook Adventure and more.

For the older 11- to 14-year-olds, the Speed offers Art and Activism, which shows campers the power of art in the world of politics and social change.

The Speed also offers classes for children ages 3 and 4 who haven’t yet started preschool. Parents or guardians attend these classes with their children and work together on projects similar to what the older children are doing. This year, parents can choose from two camps, Super Senses: Exploring Art, and Artists & Authors. The Super Senses camp encourages children to engage with art while stimulating their cognitive development and motor skills.

During Artists and Authors, children and parents will explore the vast galleries of the museum and create art inspired by classic children’s books.

What sets Speed camps apart from similar programs is that children are able to experience the rare and magnificent artworks that the museum has to offer while they learn and participate.

“The museum’s galleries are a great resource, and we want to show campers something different than what they would experience on a school tour or a visit with their parents,” says Anna Alger, the Speed’s gallery teaching coordinator.

As for the logistics, camps last for five days, each from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m., with extended care available for children who need to be dropped off earlier or picked up later. The class sizes are small (12 to 15 students), and each class has one teaching artist and one teaching assistant, ensuring that

11

— Taylor Bothwell

students receive a great deal of one-on-one attention. Though each camp only lasts one week at a time, children are encouraged to sign up for more than one camp if they want to explore multiple courses.

“The camps are really open to anyone, even if they haven’t shown an interest in art before,” says Bothwell. “We’ve had kids come in before who have only done sports camps before, but by the end of their week with us, they’re really excited about art.”

Classes are already filling up, so interested parents should sign their children up as soon as possible. Camps begin June 12 and run through August 11. Registration is open now and can be completed through the Speed’s website (speedmuseum.org).

Whether your child is in love with art or just wants a different camp experience this summer, the Speed Art Museum is ready to welcome campers of all kinds. VT

An International Honor

By Mariah Kline | Profile

O

n Thursday May 18 at the MOSAIC Awards, Jewish Family & Career Services will honor five international Americans, including new or first-generation immigrants and refugees, who have made a difference. Whether it be contributing in their profession or to the community as a whole, these citizens are notable for the impact they have had on the community and other individuals.

Barry Barker, Vik Chadha, Dr. Annatjie Faul, John La Barbera and Coco Tran.

MOSAIC is an acronym for Multicultural Opportunities for Success and Achievement In our Community. The MOSAIC Awards is an annual dinner that benefits Jewish Family & Career Services (JCFS), which was founded in 1908 to address the needs of new citizens coming to the United States.

“While JCFS has significantly expanded its services and adapted to the changing needs of the community, we have continued to provide services focused on the unique issues facing newly arriving immigrants and refugees,” reveals Beverly Bromley, JFCS’s director of marketing and development.

The 2017 occasion marks MOSAIC’s 12th year, and the event has nearly doubled in size since its inception. The event’s title sponsor is the Jewish Heritage Fund for Excellence, and the media sponsor is WLKY. Others include Churchill Downs, PharMerica, TARC and the Papercone

Corporation. This year’s dinner will take place in the ballroom of the Louisville Hyatt Regency downtown on May 18.

The night begins at 5:30 p.m. with a cocktail reception and business showcase, promoting 10 new businesses and micro-entrepreneurs receiving training and financial assistance from the Jewish Community Center’s Navigate Enterprise Center. At 6:30 p.m., the anticipated 400-500 guests will be served dinner and will see the presentation of the Jeff & Phyllis Osbourn Scholarship, an award given to an immigrant or refugee pursuing a career in healthcare. At 7:30 p.m., MOSAIC nominees will be introduced and awarded with an original piece of art by Louisville artist Dave Caudill.

This year’s event chair is Rachel Greenberg, and past chairs have included Brooks Bower, Mayor Greg Fischer and Dr. Alexandra Gerassimides, and politician Elaine Chao.

The night’s emcee is WLKY’s Rick Van Hoose, who will present a video program produced

by WLKY and introduce the honorees. The 2017 nominees

vary in their professions and accomplishments, but all have made significant contributions to their fields and to the city of Louisville.

Barry Barker of Great Britain is the Director of TARC and was instrumental in adding hybrid and electric buses to TARC’s operations.

Vik Chadha of India is the co-founder of tech companies Backupify and GlowTouch and has helped create hundreds of high-paying jobs in the city.

Dr. Annatjie Faul of South Africa serves as an associate dean at the Kent School of Social Work and the executive director of the Institute for Sustainable Health & Optimal Aging at the UofL Health Sciences Center. She has won multiple grants to improve the health of Latinos, Hispanics and people living in rural areas.

John La Barbera, a Sicilian descendant, is a Grammy-nominated jazz composer, lecturer and a professor emeritus at the UofL School of Music.

Coco Tran of Vietnam opened Louisville’s first Chinese fast-food restaurant in 1975 and has since opened a total of

20

nine restaurants in the area. She mentors other Asian entrepreneurs, hired many of the first Vietnam refugees who came to Louisville and has continually promoted healthy eating in the community.

MOSAIC celebrates these and other remarkable people who have come to our country and made names for themselves. The ceremony was created in the post-9/11 era when the country saw an increase in anti-immigrant attitudes, and sadly those sentiments are still being echoed in our nation today.

“It’s now more important than ever to view international Americans as positive contributors to our society and to our Louisville community,” says Bromley. “International Americans make Louisville a more richly diverse community, and this event honors those Americans.” VT MOSAIC Awards May 18, 5:30 p.m.

Roby, John “Jack”

John “Jack” Roby, 74, of Louisville died peacefully Monday, April 3, at Masonic Home after bravely fighting leukemia. He was born on November 6, 1942, to Catherine O. and Edwin F. Roby of Louisville. He was a graduate of St. Xavier High School, the University of Louisville School of Music and

received his MBA from Western Kentucky University.

For more than 25 years, Jack served proudly as the Director of Development for the UofL Speed School and School of Music. Fundraising for these entities hardly seemed like work to Jack as he was so very passionate about music and education.

He helped manage the Speed Endowed Music Series for many years. He also served on the board of Crane House and the Christine Kleinert Institute. Jack was also very passionate about cooking. His cookbook, “I’m For Easy”, sold out completely and he donated all of the profits to the UofL School of Music. He also served as the food critic for The Voice of St. Matthews and always loved cooking at home for his friends.

Jack’s love of international travel led him to his greatest treasure. He met his partner and best

The happiest years of Jack’s life were those he spent with Nicolas.

Jack is survived by his brother Bill (Mary Jane), sister, Peggy Helphinstine, niece, Karen Forrest; and nephews, Billy Roby, Scott Roby, Brian Roby, Mark Helphinstine and Todd Helphinstine. Jack had more friends than one could ever dream of. He treasured his friendships and was surrounded by their love in his last hours.

Visitation with family was held at 10 AM Tuesday, April 11th at St. Frances of Rome Church, 2119 Payne Street. The funeral mass was at 11 and followed by a “Celebration of Life” event in the adjoining Clifton Center.

Jack’s family would like to extend a special thank you to CBC Group of Louisville who specialize in blood disorders. Also, the caring and compassionate nurses who tended to Jack on the third floor of the Baptist Health Park Tower.

OBITUARIES

obituaries

Church Home. A native Louisvillian, she was a prominent leader in the arts and civic organizations for more than four decades.

Her husband of 58 years, Karl N. Victor, Jr., and her parents Carl K. and Helen S Helman preceded her in death.

Roanne and her husband, better known as “Buzzy,” were founders of Actors Theatre of Louisville in 1962. For the rest of her life, she was a constant and influential presence at the theatre, where her service as a board member, volunteer and first night attendee made Roanne a singular patron. She joined the board beginning in 1978, and at the time of her death she was a Sustaining Director. A daily presence at ATL, a minute list of her contributions includes founding and directing numerous fundraisers, most recently “Page to Stage.”

She founded ATL Associates, and was founder/director of the ATL Art Gallery from 1969 to the present. Roanne was very proud of her founding and directing the gallery’s annual African American Art Exhibition from 1984 to the present.

She became a key leader in the modern interfaith relations effort in Louisville beginning in the 1980s. She was a founder of the Center for Interfaith Relations (originally Cathedral Heritage Foundation), and was a leader of the Festival of Faiths, beginning with the very first one in 1995.

She continued to serve on the Center for Interfaith Relations Board to the present.

In all of her activities, Roanne was known for her dependability and enthusiasm. She founded and/or served on the boards of the Louisville/Jefferson County Heritage Weekend Foundation, the Kentucky Opera, Kentucky Arts and Crafts Foundation and the Kentucky School for Art and Design, to name a few. Gov. Paul Patton appointed her to serve on the Kentucky Arts Council from 2001 to 2008.

Most of all, Roanne had fun

OBITUARIES

and cultivated an extensive and diverse social circle. With Buzzy she enjoyed the racetrack and being a horse owner. She loved to travel, eat, garden and was a legendary hostess. A lifelong Democrat, Roanne supported many candidates and cared deeply about her community.

A loving and supportive mother, Roanne is survived by her devoted family: daughter Gwenn (Paul), son Karl, brother, Grant Helman, and nieces Vicky Unrich, Sharon Butler (Greg), Julie Maldonado (Oscar), Robyn Ngo (Bee), and grandchildren, Samuel Lieber, Aaron and Gabriell Victor.

Roanne’s family expresses gratitude to Dr Gracie Wishnia, Zohreh Golgiri Dr. Jane Cornett and the staff of the Episcopal Church Home for their compassionate support.

A memorial service was held 4:00 p.m. Sunday, April 2nd at The Temple, 5101 US Hwy 42.

Visitation was held at 3:00 p.m.

Burial was private. Expressions of sympathy may be made to Actors Theatre of Louisville or The Temple.

Ryan, Jane

Jane Ryan “Janie,” 74, died Saturday, April 8, 2017, following a heart attack at her Florida home. Janie was an accomplished folk artist, painter and hat and jewelry designer and specialized in making and painting Caribbean mocko jumbie dolls. She was born July 20, 1942 in Sandusky, Ohio to James E. Ryan, M.D. and Dorothy M.

tennis. She also attended the University of Kentucky. She was a former Vice-President of the Louisville Ski Club and former manager of the women’s clothing department at Rodes in Downtown Louisville. Since 2010, Janie has lived in the senior living community of The Villages (Lady Lakes, FL). She also lived in Charlotte Amalie, USVI for 20 years where she owned and operated both a parasail and a retail jewelry/art gallery business. She was an original member of the Carribean Palm Bonnets, a local chapter of the International Red Hat Society, and was active with the Red Hatters in Florida until her death. She has now traded in her purple dress, red hats and boas for angel’s wings. Janie was a devoted friend, elegant, generous, strong-willed, opinionated, quirky and funny. She was the life of any party and loved traveling and sharing desserts with special friends. She will be missed by many. What a special lady.

Janie was preceded in death by her parents and also by her brother, J. Patrick Ryan. She is survived by her children, Stephen M. Fox and Alison L. Fox, by her grandchildren, Austin W. Fox, Sarah E. Fox and McKenzie L. Fox, by her siblings, Nancy R. Bury, Robert M. Ryan, D. Kevin Ryan and Dennis J. Ryan, by her former spouses, James S. Fox, Michael A. McMahon and Philip R. Clemo, by many nieces and nephews, and countless friends.

She is also survived by her Jack Russell, Sunny.

Separate memorial services will be held in Louisville, KY (in May) and The Villages, FL (in June).

Expressions of sympathy may be made to your favorite charity.

Gross, David B.

David B. Gross, 58, sadly and unexpectedly died in his sleep on April 6, 2017.

Survivors include his beloved wife of 30 years, Carolyn (Wherthey); his brother, Steven and his father, Robert. He was preceded in death by his mother, Hazel Pearl (Redmon) Cubine.

For 28 years, he faithfully

David attended the University of Kentucky before entering the military. Upon return from service overseas, he graduated with honors from the University of Louisville with a Bachelor of Science in Marketing. David and Carolyn met in class at U of L. His coworkers at Parking Authority of River City were like a second family to him. In his 20 years at PARC, David was instrumental in promoting a greener city.

David loved God, his family and his country. He enjoyed music, nature and absolutely adored all dogs, especially his German Shepherds. He was loved in return by all who knew him, because David never met a stranger.

A service to celebrate David’s life was conducted at 11:00 AM on Tuesday, April 11, 2017 in the chapel of Arch L. Heady & Son at Westport Village, 7410 Westport Rd. Memorial visitation was held from 4-8 PM on Monday at the funeral home.

Quarterback Stefan LeFors, the the highest-level consistently turn up their nose at the mere thought of a weekend tailgate being snatched away in favor of a few extra eyes on television.

It’s a stance that Louisville football never had the luxury of taking.

When Tom Jurich took over as Louisville’s athletic director in 1997, the program had just endured a 1-10 season and was at risk of being kicked out of Conference USA. The good news for Jurich was that he had a new head coach in John L. Smith and a new offensive coordinator in Bobby Petrino that he knew, at the very least, were going to make the team more enjoyable to follow because of its offensive output. He knew he was going to have a product that was much superior than what it had been, now he just had to figure out a way to make the rest of the country see it.

Jurich would eventually go to ESPN, the entity that controls that sort of thing. UofL football wasn’t in a position to call any significant shots, so Jurich played the best hand he had available to him.

“Louisville came to us and said, ‘We’ll play anyone, anywhere, anytime,’” Mark Shapiro, former ESPN head of programming and production, told The New York Times in 2013. “It was a programmer’s dream. We already had NFL on Sunday Louisville Head Coach Bobby Petrino.

2003 Conference USA Player of the Year, admitted after he arrived at UofL that he knew nothing about the program before it started putting up absurd numbers on unordinary nights. He also said those games were the only reason he chose to come play for the Cardinals.

With the addition of players like LeFors, Louisville was able to reach the postseason in every year from 1997 to 2006. It was also able to go from a struggling program in a struggling conference to one that was able to make the jump to the Big East in 2005 and then eventually to the ACC in 2014.

Even as recently as last season, we’ve seen how playing on a weeknight with little to no other competition can help even an established national program. With the eyes of the college football world focused solely on the Carrier Dome, Lamar Jackson made his first major Heisman statement by lighting up the Orange on a Friday night in which he also delivered what would wind up being his signature highlight: “The Leap.”

Louisville doesn’t have to maintain the mantra anymore, but “anyone, anywhere, anytime” certainly served the program well. VT

Are they springing? Or aren’t they?

And one by one, they’ve told us what we already knew. They almost always do.

In the spring of 2010, right after John Calipari’s first season at Kentucky, I wondered if a thoughtful young man like John Wall might think about his pleasant college days and the work yet unfinished.

Not for a second, apparently.

Wall and four other Wildcats went in the first round of the draft. Even Daniel Orton, who seemed to have so much to gain from another season in school.

But still, every year at this time, my young man’s fancy turns to hope.

Brandon Knight? (Such a smart kid, a chance to polish his point-guard skills and lead the Kentucky freshmen about to come to school?) Anthony Davis? (Is his body too slight for the pounding he’ll face in the pros?) Michael KiddGilchrist. (Does he have an NBA jumpshot?)

Karl-Anthony Towns? (Will his thoughtful parents advise him to stay in school?) Devin Booker? (So young, so much more to prove at the college level.) Skal Labissiere? (Surely, this is one player who can see the benefits of another year in school.)

cares about that!)

De’Aaron Fox suffered from the wear and tear even more than Monk did. Remarkably gifted but thin and frail, Fox had a trough in the middle of the season – hurt and sick, missing a few games, and not quite the same astonishing athlete after he returned. And then he began turning it on at the end.

He averaged 22.4 points per game in the seven penultimate games prior to North Carolina.

He scored 39 in that memorable UCLA win. And in the process, he humbled – for the second time, on national TV – Lonzo Ball, the presumptive No. 1 pick.

But he’s still thin and frail.

And the NBA season is 82 48-minute games, plus playoffs.

Bam Adebayo has been the oddest case of the three to me.

And his decision to keep his options open just proves that.

He has an NBA-ready body. He showed often during the season amazing hops and some good moves around the hoop. And he has a decent short-range shot.

But the NBA is full of players like that.

What I noticed, particularly in the North Carolina game, was Bam’s inability to assert himself. And much of it came from a freshman tendency to bring the ball low as he moved inside, often to dribble it. Once a big man puts the ball down, everyone else on the court becomes the same size. And so Bam had

a tendency to get tied up, to lose control, to get blocked.

Could another season in college polish off his edges? Sure.

So could a season in the pros, if an NBA team is willing to pay mid-first-round money.

But what’s the dollar formula on going now, in the low end of the first round, versus having an amazing sophomore season and entering the lottery?

What we can never know is what’s in these kids’ hearts and minds. The confidence to play professionally is certainly there.

They know the odds and the rates of failure but assume it doesn’t apply to them. It’s been a dream their whole lives, since the dirt courts of Lepanto, the playgrounds of Houston, the

after-school programs of Little Washington, all those high school championships, all those AAU years.

You had to know what they were thinking in the locker room after the big UCLA win, to hear that Booker had just scored 70 for Phoenix. That’s the show! At Kentucky, that same freshman had averaged 21 minutes and 10 points a game.

Everyone said he couldn’t put the ball on the floor.

And then there’s the money.

Don’t write it off as mindless greed unless you never evaluated your best career moves, your best job offers, while you were in school.

None of us can judge them for the decisions they make. VT

Hi from Dubai

aving spent the last three days in Cochin, Mangalore and Goa, all in India, our next landing on the Seven Seas Navigator was at the Port of Mumbai (formerly Bombay). The Indian government is very strict and has required in most ports face-to-face inspection of each and every passenger before leaving the ship. To make things a little more difficult, we were docked in an awkward and barren (no shops!) dock.

Partyline CARLA SUE BROECKER The “fort” site of our dinner in the desert.

We originally planned a long shore excursion that included 12 or 13 temples, synagogues, cathedrals and other religious facilities. Feeling sort of templed-out, we canceled the daytime tour and stayed “home.”

However, that evening, four busloads of us went on a “night crawl,” Mumbai by Lights. First, we went to a new Bollywood movie that was interesting to a point. Most of the words were in Hindi but it was fun and we followed the story for the most part. We were given bags of popcorn and bottles of water. The movie was interesting, but 45 minutes into it, we were motioned out and into our buses. It was not an alarm.

That had been the plan from the beginning, but I bet it sure confused the natives attending the movie when 120 people suddenly got up and left.

Next we parked at the “night street market,” which was great as Brad walked three blocks and came back with a large, new $55 suitcase for the overflow of souvenirs.

Then, we drove around the upscale urban area and around the large inner-city lake. There are some beautiful municipal buildings from the last century of brick, tile and limestone in the Gothic Arabian or Islamic style. The Chhatrapati Shivaji Terminus is absolutely beautiful and would be wonderful in a period movie (or as a replacement for our KFC Yum! Center). Formerly known as Victoria Terminus, this historic railway station and UNESCO World Heritage Site is considered the finest example of Victorian Gothic architecture in India.

Our last stop was a downtown five-star hotel’s English-style pub where we had a beer or two and munchies before heading back to the ship. At the gate to the port, Indian security insisted on X-raying Brad’s empty suitcase to be sure we weren’t carrying a bomb or other illegal stuff onto the ship!

The next two days, we lounged aboard ship as we sailed in the Arabian Sea on to our next port, Dubai, United Arab Emirates.

Some U.A.E. history: After independence from Britain in 1971, Abu Dhabi, Dubai, Fujayrah, Ajman, Sharjah and Umn al Oayn all came together as the United Arab Emirates (UAE).

What a contrast to our Indian experiences! Dubai is sophisticated, clean and elegant. They have a driver-less monorail that is spotless. Sunday is a work day. If you are not a native and lose your job, you must leave. They water their flower beds, which are planted in September, daily with drip water hoses because there may be no rain for a year. And there is no litter.

We took an interesting Dubai shore excursion that started off going to Jumeirah Mosque, considered to be one of the most liked mosques in the UAE. It was built under the instruction of the late Sheikh Rashid bin Saeed al Maktoum who was the ruler of Dubai from 1958 to 1990. At the time of its opening, the mosque was one of the largest in the area.

It houses wonderful multi-media exhibits on local history and cultural heritage.

Next, we were off to the Dubai Creek, which is a saltwater creek that runs through the center of Dubai. There, we boarded small ferry boats that take passengers on a five-minute ride across the creek. On the other side, we went to a spice souk and a gold souk. Bought no spices while there but did get a piece of alum that looks like rock sugar or salt. Makes a great styptic pencil.

The gold souk was hilarious. I never saw so much gold in all my life. Necklaces, rings and bracelets by the thousands. Didn’t buy any gold either.

Later on in the afternoon, we hurried back to the ship to get ready for what the ship called a “Dubai Sahara Experience.”

It was a special exclusive event for just the World Cruisers on the ship. We have done it before in other places and it is fun.

Dressed comfortably, we boarded coaches for a 30-minute ride out into the desert. By

the time we arrived, the sun was down and the air somewhat cooler. We were greeted at a site that looked like an enormous fort in the desert. It actually was a new construction for events such as ours. Fresh towels, Arabic coffee and dates were served to us as a traditional sign of welcome.

As we strolled closer to the fort, we saw camels that were waiting to give us a ride and a stage where there would be a belly dance show, fire dance show and tanura dance show. Beautifully set tables awaited us as did a huge BBQ buffet dinner. Lots of free flowing beer and wine libated the evening.

We returned to the ship just in time for a midnight sailing to Abu Dhabi, UAE. As we rode back to town, we could see in the center of Dubai the Burj Khalifa, currently the tallest building in the world at 2,717 feet, although two more, currently under construction in Dubai, will break this record in the next couple of years. VT

SOCIETY

From the most liked mosque to the Burj Al Arab, the absolute iconic hotel of Dubai, we traveled by coach for a photo opportunity from a distance. The hotel is built on a “finger” of reclaimed land and you can’t even get close if you don’t have a reservation. The current room rate for a bottomof-the-list single room is currently quoted at over $2,000!

Several years ago, we enjoyed “Tea at the Burj” on one of the top floors. We were greeted in the lobby with offers of rich coffee, chocolates and dates. We were overwhelmed by the profusion of fresh roses and orchids all over the lobby and other public places. The tea with all the tiny sandwiches and sweets that you would expect was all that had been promised and then some.

Even though we missed tea this time, we did go to the Dubai Museum, which is located in the Al Fahidi Fort that was built in 1781 and is the oldest building in Dubai.

Silks in the Bluegrass

Operation Open Arms is a vital organization in our community as it helps place children of incarcerated mothers with families that will love them and help them grow into responsible citizens of society. OOA’s only annual fundraiser, Silks in the Bluegrass, will take place this year on May 5 at the Crowne Plaza Louisville, and to get all the info, we talked to Board of Directors Chairman Cathy Bailey.

What is Silks in the Bluegrass?

Silks in the Bluegrass is a fun and inspirational gala event, featuring Purple Heart recipient Sgt. Daniel Casara as this year’s key speaker in the program and The Atlanta Showstoppers as the evening’s high-energy dance band! The night will feature great food and cocktails, a powerful speech from Sgt. Casara and dancing into the evening! We are also pleased to announce that Dianne and George Timmering will serve as this year’s Silks in the Bluegrass co-chairs.

Why is the event important for Operation Open Arms and the greater community?

We are all aware of the reports of increased incarceration of women who are mothers. This is dramatically true in Kentucky, according to a report published just this year. This means that the number of children who are losing their families to incarceration is increasing and also increasing the load placed upon state foster care. Operation Open Arms is a local nonprofit agency that provides homes for children whose mothers are incarcerated. Our goal is to break the cycle of criminal behavior that statistically

follows families. Building productive citizens is the ultimate benefit for the greater community. Different from traditional foster care, OOA actually takes custody of the children, receiving no state funding and utilizing our own social workers. Silks in the Bluegrass helps us not only raise necessary funding to help support the program that provides care for these children but also raise much needed awareness.

Is it too late to get tickets?

No. Tickets are still available. This year we are also offering a “luxury lounge” ticket at a reduced rate from the dinner ticket. VT Silks in the Bluegrass May 5, 7 p.m.

Fresh and Fascinating

By Tonya Abeln | Fashion

G

one are the days of the Kentucky Derby when hats served any practical purpose.

Now, when putting together a track ensemble, everyone is looking for the next best thing in headwear. This year, Revelry Boutique Gallery may have just found it in paper flower wearable art.

“We’re excited to invite local artist Alyson Thiel for her first solo exhibit this Derby season,” announced Revelry owner Mo McKnight Howe. “‘Fresh Cut’ will be a celebration of handmade, paper botanicals in various form fascinators, headpieces and bouquets to display art and terrariums. As everlasting creations, paper flowers offer a conscious alternative that allows for whimsical and lightweight wearable art and decor.”

Alyson, who studied painting at Denison University, also studied abroad in France focusing on landscape painting. It was there that she fell in love with the connection between nature and art. Since graduation, she has taught everything from pre-school children to clay workshops with elementary students, creating personal interest in the experimentation of other artistic mediums. She says she more or less fell into creating paper flowers.

“I have a lot of plants that I don’t take very good care of and I was looking for a creative way to decorate my home,” Alyson shares with a laugh. “It quickly became much less of a craft hobby and more of a way for me to express myself artistically. As a painter, I find that making paper flowers is a great way to satisfy my love of texture, color, shape and line. Although I lover replicating flowers that you can find in nature, I really enjoy creating things that I want to see in the world.”

As she moved toward more whimsical shapes and sizes, she thought, “Wouldn’t that be cool to wear on your head?” Luckily in Louisville, there is plenty of opportunity to do just that.

Initially, Alyson attached the oversized paper florals to clips, eventually creating more elaborate fascinators and even hat flowers that could be added to decorate existing hats. Now, she even designs custom creations for clients. “If you give me a color and an abstract idea, I can make it work,” she explains. “Or, I’ve even had someone bring a photo in and said, ‘I want exactly that,’ which I can do too.”

TVT.indd 49

Mo explains that the type of work that Alyson will be exhibiting at Revelry is ahead of trend. “People love the sustainability of paper and felt flowers. It’s a theme I see so much lately incorporated into weddings and contemporary art,” she says. “People want something that can keep forever that isn’t going to wilt or die.” She bets that the teaming of creativity and sustainability will be a winning combination for Louisville, but it doesn’t just end with Derby.

“Alyson is not only making cool fascinators and hat flowers, but she also makes beautiful bouquets that you can give your mom for Mother’s Day. The gallery will feel like a floral shop when you walk in,” Mo describes. “Plus, the bouquets can also make very cool hostess gifts for Derby time.”

Alyson’s creations appeal to the Derby-goer who wants something different. “There is definitely an avant-garde factor to these handpainted and hand-created designs,” Mo shares.

“Revelry will also get turbans and other locally made options in our window.”

Revelry’s selections always have an edge to them, plus you can take pride in knowing that you are purchasing something handmade by

a local artist. Alyson’s creations average a very reasonable $50 with custom creations ranging from $35 to $100. You are invited to adorn yourself and enjoy a celebration of the exhibit, “Fresh Cut” by artist Alyson Thiel, Friday, April 14 from 7 to 10 p.m. at Revelry Boutique Gallery (742 E. Market St.). VT

A Swift Rejuvenation

By Mariah Kline | Health & Wellness

P

icking out the perfect hat and outfit for Derby is a high priority for many this time of year, but it’s important to remember the appearance of one’s skin as well. As parties and galas fill up our schedules, there’s no time for a major change, but there is time for a quick touch-up from a group of experienced professionals.

VibrantMed in Crestwood offers a variety of treatments designed to restore and rejuvenate skin without having any drastic procedures done. Medical grade injectables, facials, peels, body contouring and more can all be completed at the spa by an experienced and licensed aesthetician. The treatments and services provided can act as an effective alternative to cosmetic surgery for those with mild to moderate concerns.

Their procedures are minimally invasive and require little to no downtime afterward.

Their staff strives to give clients a relaxing experience in an environment that feels like a “boutique spa.” At a client’s first visit to VibrantMed, they’ll sit down with an

A P R I L 1 3 , 2 0 1 7 • V O I C E -T R I B U N E . C O M

TVT.indd 50

aesthetician for a comprehensive consultation. Together, they create a skincare plan with short- and long-term goals based on what the client wants to achieve.

“We want our clients to know that we care about them and want to build a long and trusting relationship,” says Melissa Ballinger, director of client services. “We take the time to listen to their concerns and provide informed and realistic solutions.”

As for how often you should revisit the spa, VibrantMed recommends having a facial or peel every four to six weeks for the best results. Peels and facials can treat the signs of aging, sun damage, acne and more, plus they make skin feel smoother and more refreshed. Try the CO2 Lift Mask (featured on “The Dr. Oz Show”) that has an immediate hydrating and plumping effect.

Botox and Dysport, which are injected directly into facial or neck muscles, improve the appearance of lines and wrinkles. No downtime is required following the procedure, and the effects last three to four months. Their dermal fillers, including Juvederm and Restylane, can improve the contours of the face and add volume and fullness. The effects can last from six months to up to two years.

Other services include eyebrow microblading, laser treatments, lash lifts and lash extensions. You can also purchase physician

50

grade skincare products based on aesthetician recommendations for further care after you leave the spa. Results vary depending on each person’s genetics and at-home regimen, so the staff gives guidance on how to proceed following each treatment.

The owner of VibrantMed is Erica Chowning, APRN, who has over 15 years of experience in the medical field. She is passionate not only about skincare and aesthetics, but about overall health and preventive care. With her advanced training and dedication to serving clients, new customers are in great hands.

“Our main goal is to educate people about the positive effects of maintaining good skin care and a healthy lifestyle,” says Ballinger. “We can help people achieve a new level of confidence in the way they look and feel about themselves.”

A variety of options and professionals who care are waiting to help at VibrantMed. Whether you’re looking for serious rejuvenation or just something to brighten up your face for Derby season, let their staff bring out your best skin.

California Rock with Modern Mentality

By Remy Sisk | Arts & Entertainment

W

hen the folk-rock band Dawes first broke onto the music scene in 2009 with their debut album “North Hills,” critics immediately recognized that this was a band to watch. Drawing Laurel Canyon comparisons and being likened to acts like Jackson Browne, Neil Young and Paul Simon, Dawes was doing something different. And when they released their sophomore record, “Nothing Is Wrong,” in 2011, they took that California sound from their first album and injected it with contemporary energy and innovation. Now, with five studio albums plus a live record under their belt, Dawes will play the Brown Theatre on April 21.

To those who know the band, or have at least heard any of their songs, and then seen them live, a nearly universal response is that no matter how good the band is on studio records, they’re even better live. Perhaps that’s true for most acts – their live sound is richer than their studio – but for Dawes, that disparity may be even greater, which is partially why the band released “We’re All Gonna Live,” their first live album, earlier this year and have now embarked on their latest tour, “An Evening with Dawes.”

“We’ve always kind of existed more on tour than anywhere else as a band, and we take pride in our live shows,” affirms Griffin Goldsmith, Dawes drummer and brother to lead singer Taylor Goldsmith. “But this is the first time we’ve done ‘An Evening with’ – no opener – so we’re

P H OTO B Y M AT T J A C O B Y

TVT.indd 51

coming out playing two sets in a night. I think that we wanted to kind of give people a taste of what they would see if they came out to the show [with ‘We’re All Gonna Die’]. This live record was recorded over the first four shows of this tour, and we’re trying to put a different product out there and really do what we do best: play for two and a half hours and really let loose.”

Songs in the sets will span all five of the band’s albums with a very slight emphasis on their latest, “We’re All Gonna Die.” And it’s not an unchanging setlist; while there are certain songs they’re sure to play at each show, Dawes has enjoyed mixing in deeper tracks for different shows, keeping the band on its toes and the audiences always entertained. To Goldsmith, though each song of course has significance, it’s when he sings that’s particularly meaningful.

“I sing one of the songs during the set,” he relates, “and that one I think is always – just because I’m singing it – I’m able to get into that side of the song more than I would be if I’m just on drums and thinking about how to drive the ship as opposed to how to put the emotion behind it – it’s such a different facet of the job.

When I sing ‘Roll Tide’ it’s a bit more emotionally charged for me than anything else.”

While it’s usually his brother doing the singing – as well as the songwriting – Griffin Goldsmith has exhibited powerful vocals on a number of Dawes tracks, which is just an example of the authentic collaboration between the bandmates themselves as well as the songwriters they work with. “Whenever it’s a song that Taylor hasn’t written – ‘Roll Tide,’ he had a hand in but it was mainly written by our buddy Jason Boesel – it’s kind of up in the air [as to who sings it],” Goldsmith explains. “I mean, he’s the lead singer so he generally sings all of it, but those he hasn’t mainly written are sometimes more fitting for my voice just because it’s a

51

slightly different perspective. It’s not as obviously Taylor’s vernacular.”

As far as what that vernacular is, it is undeniably influenced a bit by the aforementioned Laurel Canyon 1960s-70s sound; however, Goldsmith affirms that, while that music was indeed influential, it was not as direct as some often assume. “I think a lot of the time people compare us to acts like Jackson Browne – we get that a lot – and when we started getting that Laurel Canyon-sound comparison, it was funny because we really had never listened to much of that music,” he says. “I don’t think there’s ever been a concerted effort to go out and make the music sound like anything else – it’s always been let’s just do what we do and hope it turns out well.”

And turned out well it certainly has. The sound of Dawes has evolved unquestionably through each record, but they have consistently illustrated a keen talent to maintain their distinct identity while growing their body of work.

There’s a sound of Dawes that is simply in every way “Dawes.” It can be light or heavy or anthemic or muted, but it is nevertheless indicative of this absolutely singular band.

“What I like about some of my favorite bands, whether it’s the Stones or the Dead, is that the second it comes on, you know who it is,” Goldsmith describes. “And I think that there’s definitely an evolution but that we’ve maintained our identity across the five records.

Yes, some are more live sounding, some are more studio sounding, but in either case it’s still Dawes.” VT “An Evening with Dawes” April 21, 8 p.m.

Their motto, “Building Character Is Child’s Play,” serves to open discussion between children and adults about values and ethical topics that challenge today’s society.

The recently released “Gerome Sticks His Neck Out,” adds to that line of Baxter’s Corner’s values-based children’s books.

Gerome is a shy young giraffe who is uncomfortable standing out among his peers due to his height. He keeps his head low to the ground, an act that helps him to fit in and keep a low profile but doesn’t feel right. When he sees a friend being bullied, Gerome steps out of his comfort zone and sticks his neck out to help his friend.

“It is more important than ever that we foster the development of good character traits in young children now. This will impact their behavior choices in the future. Our culture is so full of messages focused on instant gratification, self-advancement and even violence that we hope to counteract through our stories,” says Mary Ellen Stottmann, founding partner. “Our stories have simple message about responsibility, respect, cooperation, compassion and acceptance.”

In addition to the stories Baxter’s Corner produces, the partners have teamed up with The Cabbage Patch Settlement House to provide a week-long summer young authors camp for at-risk youth ages 8 to 13. This rhyming verse book is meant for children ages 3 months to 8 years and retails for $14.95 at Carmichael’s Bookstore in Louisville and online at baxterscorner.com.

“SILO AND PLYLER’S DERBY HORSE ADVENTURE” When two penguins in Antarctica hear about a famous horse race held in Louisville called the Kentucky Derby, they resolve to enter a Derby horse of their own. Their biggest problem is that they have never seen a horse and have no idea what one looks like! Along the way to Kentucky, animal friends help them in time for the big race.

Written and illustrated by Louisville’s Paul Harshaw, this book is the perfect way for children to get into the Derby spirit. “As a parent, teacher and lover of Derby culture and tradition, I set out to create something children would love and parents would add as a keepsake to be passed down through generations,” Harshaw explains.

While this is Harshaw’s first book, he is far from a stranger to the creative scene in Louisville. In addition to a career in teaching at St. Francis School in Goshen, the author and illustrator – who created 12 original paintings for the book to vividly highlight Silo, Plyler and their new friends – co-created the annual UnFair Art Show, which became an institution in Old Louisville.

ith family in mind, Andrea and Gavin Gleason counted on Stonecroft builders to create their perfect Prospect home. Their vision was realized in 2007.

The Mediterranean-inspired home features arched walkways, Italian plaster and exposed brick and stone. It boasts five bedrooms, six bathrooms and provides approximately 8,500 square feet of living space for the young and growing family. The location is ideal for their children, who attend Oldham County schools, while being close to Norton Commons and plentiful dining and shopping nearby.

“We wanted a space that we could grow into and stay in until all of our kiddos go off to college,” says Andrea Gleason. Their large neighborhood with lots of children provides a great community, while the two-acre lot that backs up to the woods offers a touch of nature and privacy. “We can have the best of both worlds: a large, family-friendly neighborhood and also the nice tranquil space we like to retreat to at the end of a long day,” she says.

The Gleasons love to entertain and cherish the home’s versatility. Each level has unique open spaces that can accommodate gatherings

of extended family and friends. “Even though the home offers lots of space, we still strive to make it feel very inviting and comfortable for any of our guests,” maintains Gleason. The couple also appreciates that they’re able to raise their children in the same home as where their engagement took place (10 years ago, on the back deck).

They used an interior decorator for several areas of the house but also took on many projects themselves. Their vision is described as casual elegance.

Family-friendly comfort is key, as is their love of entertaining. Both are reflected in the finished basement.

“We are fortunate to have a large fallaway lot, which enables our basement to be truly unique in that there are many windows, doors and natural light,” says Gleason of the space. During the design process, they knew they wanted two

separate areas – one where adults could enjoy themselves and another devoted to the children.

The concept evolved into what they refer to as the “Gleason Pub.” “We wanted a really large bar that everyone could gather around, a comfy seating area and lots of televisions to display sporting events at the same time,” she says, adding that the inspiration was partly a true Irish pub with exposed reclaimed brick, stone, beams and dark woodwork. They use this area the most for entertaining. On the other side of the basement, an open theater playroom and game room was created for the children, as was a fully equipped gym for the whole family.

After much thought and the assistance of designers, their builder brought their exact vision to life.

Whether entertaining or not, the Gleason home is filled with love and life. VT

The Odds Are in Your Favor at the Frazier

By Remy Sisk | Out & About

B

efore I mention anything about the extraordinary touring exhibit new to the Frazier History Museum, “The Hunger Games: The Exhibition,” I must explain my history with Suzanne Collins’ global franchise. I read book one in one day. I read book two in two days. I dressed up for all the movies – my favorite being my homemade Finnick Odair fisherman’s net costume for the second film – and told anyone who would listen that the Hunger Games series is as much a paragon of masterful storytelling as it is an incisive reflection of our society’s exploitation of violence and voyeurism. That is all to say I speak with some self-appointed authority when I say “The Hunger Games: The Exhibition” is an absolute must-see for anyone and everyone – fans of the franchise or not.

Made up primarily of costumes, props, set pieces and other artifacts from the four Lionsgate films, “The Hunger Games: The Exhibition” landed in Louisville on April 1, its fourth stop in an international tour, and will be in town through September 10. “The Frazier Museum was very instrumental in bringing it here; they really wanted the show badly,” explains Bryan Harris, vice president of marketing for Imagine Exhibitions, the producer of the project. “And it’s Jennifer Lawrence’s hometown obviously, so that had a lot of influence as well. And Lionsgate was eager to work out an arrangement to bring it here for all those reasons. It’s exciting to be here for sure.”

When visitors first walk into the exhibit, they begin to travel through the journey of the Hunger Games saga. First stop is, logically, Katniss Everdeen’s hometown of District 12, where we immediately see the original

Katniss and Primrose costumes from “The Hunger Games.”

Rue costume from “The Hunger Games” and Johanna costume from “The Hunger Games: Catching Fire.”

Mockingjay pin that is perhaps the most iconic element from the entire series. Next, we move to the day of The Reaping from the first book and film and see Effie Trinket’s now signature fuchsia costume. The exhibit continues on in just this way with recognizable moments recreated with elaborate set pieces and mannequins clothed in original costume pieces.

Moreover, there’s also an exciting interactive element to the exhibit. One of the most breathtaking is a replica of a Gamemaker’s table, where visitors can explore the world of the Hunger Games arena digitally and browse through different obstacles and elements of the Games themselves. There’s also an open space where visitors can become a tribute and learn from a virtual instructor as if they were training for the Hunger Games.

But it’s not all about the spectacle. The walls are decorated with informative plaques that explain in fascinating detail the roles of the various crew members who came together to make the four-film series as successful as it was. Other up-close highlights include the Girl on Fire dress, the Mockingjay dress and the Mockingjay armor. Katniss’ bow and arrows are also on display as is Cinna’s sketchbook. Videos play throughout the exhibit as well, and as you perhaps look upon a recreation of a scene from “The Hunger Games: Mockingjay - Part 1,” a video of behind-the-scenes footage will play off to the side to give viewers a deeper understanding of what it took to realize the District 13 scene you see before you.

It should be made abundantly clear that this exhibit is not just for fans. Appreciate them or not, the entries of The Hunger Games are unequivocal global phenomena, and “The Hunger Games: The Exhibition” is a genuinely astounding look at how a beloved story was able to be translated so well from page to screen. The eclectic array of artifacts from the films as well as the immersive facets of the exhibition will no doubt entertain everyone from the most devoted fan to the most dubious skeptic.

Without question, when it comes to having not only an entertaining experience but also an interactive and educational adventure through the world of Panem and international blockbusters as a whole, the odds are most certainly in your favor.

DEAR ELIGIBLE: Coupling up can be complicated these days because many variables can come into play. Individuals of both sexes can be addicted to a “type” they fantasize about, chase the illusion of eternal youth by pursuing unsuitable partners and/or be commitment-phobic.

That said, you might have better luck with men if you didn’t stereotype them because some of them are encountering the same problems you are. And believe me, they are mystified too.

••• DEAR ABBY: I am a 12-year-old girl who has a lot of friends at school, but lately there has been some tension coming from one of them. “Belle” missed an event that was very important to her. She’s usually easygoing, but since then she hasn’t been herself and it’s starting to worry some of us. We have tried everything from talking about her favorite topic to trying to write a song for her. Sometimes she acts like herself, but other times, she gives me and another friend the silent treatment and the cold shoulder. Is she a friend worth keeping? — CONCERNED FRIEND IN ALABAMA DEAR CONCERNED: You won’t know

••• DEAR ABBY: I have been with my husband for 12 years, married for three. I had an affair a little over a year ago that he found out about. He has let me back into the house, but he demeans my character at every opportunity. I don’t fight back because I know I am the cause of his pain.

We have a 3-year-old daughter, and I am now six weeks pregnant with his child. I do not want to argue with him because if I had been a better wife, he would not be so angry.

But the hurt I feel from his words over the past months is weighing heavy on me, especially with my new hormones. I’m holding it in, but should I leave? Become a single mother?

How can I get him to a counselor? — NEEDS COUNSELING DEAR NEEDS: I do not mean to minimize your infidelity, but you had better take a stand and give your husband an ultimatum: Heal the marriage through marriage counseling, or you leave.

••• DEAR ABBY: I’m a lesbian and have been in a relationship with a woman for two months now. She never offers to pay for our dates, and she hasn’t planned or executed one either.

We’re both very feminine, although she would be considered slightly more so than I am. I feel this is important because I’m somehow the more dominant one. How can I address this concern without hurting her? I would like her to reciprocate somewhat. — DOMINANT IN CALIFORNIA DEAR DOMINANT: Address the imbalance in your relationship by being straightforward about it. Good manners dictate that when someone has been asked out, treated, etc., that person should reciprocate. Because that’s not happening, you need to discuss it with her. To do so isn’t hurtful; it’s common sense because unless you do, this pattern will continue.

••• DEAR ABBY: I have been with the same man for six months. He has been separated from his wife for 10 years – but not legally.

When he finally decided to tell her there is someone else and he’s moving on, she went crazy. She said she wants alimony and half of everything, plus the house will have to be sold because she will not allow “the new woman” to live in “her” house.

It’s been a month since he told her. We talked to a lawyer about a divorce, but all he is worried about is paying alimony and losing the house. I am getting sick of hearing about it. All he keeps saying is, “I love you, but I don’t want to lose my house or pay her money.” What should I do? — FIGHT OR FLIGHT IN MASSACHUSETTS DEAR FIGHT OR FLIGHT: Your boyfriend appears to be unwilling to pay the price for a divorce. So what you should do is flee.

The longer you stick around, the deeper you will become enmeshed in his drama and the more complicated it will become.

PUZZLES

pets of the week Two-year-old Berti came to the Kentucky Humane Society when her owner could not manage her desire to chew on things when she was bored. She’s an active girl who will need long walks and ways to keep her mind active to help her learn what she can and can’t chew on. This sweet Hound mix is eager to please and loves being pet. Do you have the time Berti needs to learn how to be the best dog she can be? She’s spayed, micro-chipped and up-to-date on her vaccinations. Come meet her at our adoption center in the Pewee Valley Feeders Supply, 12406 La Grange Road. For more on Berti or any of our adoptable pets, please call 502-366-3355 or visit kyhumane.org.

Sassy is a beautiful 10-year-old Medium-hair cat who came to the Kentucky Humane Society when her owner could no longer care for her. Sassy is a sweet and mellow orange and black cat who is a little frightened and overwhelmed in the shelter. She may take a little time to warm up to you, but she’s a loving cat when she’s feeling less stressed.

She’s looking for a warm sunspot and maybe a lap, and she’ll be happy. Could you be Sassy’s hero? She’s spayed, micro-chipped and up-to-date on her vaccinations. Come meet her at our adoption center in the Springhurst Feeders Supply, 9485 Brownsboro Road. For more on Sassy or any of our adoptable pets, please call 502-366-3355.
