I know, I know – Derby is over. Trust me, we did not miss the memo on that one. We’ve spent the last month documenting and dissecting the best fashion and fetes the Derby City has to offer (Don’t miss the best fashion roundup on page 44). We spend so much time gearing up for Derby, we just need a little time to wind down from it as well. For me, the season is like a habit I just can’t quit.

What is the real purpose of this pomp and pageantry?

Sure, we are preserving a beloved tradition that grows in grandeur every year. Yes, absolutely, the economic impact on our region is incredible, resulting in what is estimated at a $3 billion effect statewide and generating over 55,000 jobs. But what happens after the 650 private jets fly back to their origin?

It’s comforting to be reminded that Kentucky’s “Unbridled Spirit” is on display long after the greatest two minutes have come and gone, thanks to the generosity of one of the premier Derby parties. Now in its sixth year, the organizers of Unbridled Eve Derby Gala weren’t content to just throw a fantastic party while tossing a little cash to a pet project.

Instead, they grew their charitable foundation each year so they could incorporate even more worthy local and national organizations to their roster of beneficiaries. I’ve watched Tonya Abeln and reported on their efforts each year and have noticed that there is something that sets this party apart from the others. In writing this week’s feature, I could finally put my finger on it: family. Sisters Tonya York Dees and Tammy York Day have a distinct way of welcoming every volunteer as if they were an honorary “York.” That familial hospitality extends to the celebrities that attend each year, returning because of their loyalty to the party, the people and the cause(s) it serves. We invited the volunteers of Unbridled Eve into our studios for an epic family photo, and as you can see for yourself, this family tree has some mighty branches.

Unbridled Eve Derby Gala is, at its core, a family affair, and this year, by supporting 17 local charities, has proven why it is known as the “Party with a Heart.”

The Unbridled Eve Derby Gala volunteer committee liken their team to a big family.

By Tonya Abeln

It seems like the race is always on for the Unbridled Eve Derby Gala planning committee. Pulling off an epic event of this magnitude, especially on the biggest party night of the year in Louisville, takes year-round planning, strategizing and execution. Sure, the group of passionate volunteers, assembled and led by founding sisters Tonya York Dees and Tammy York Day, know how to make it look easy, but even in their sixth year, they managed to surprise and thoroughly entertain the hundreds of guests that converged upon The Galt House Hotel Grand Ballroom, revealing, as always, a new delightful detail at every turn.

Tammy York Day: We have such great Derby ambassadors on this committee.

When you think about it, everyone that is here tonight is so blessed to be able to participate in something so wonderful.

We don’t take that for granted.”

Tonya York Dees:

The money that we are able to donate to 17 charities this year is why we work so hard, but we’re also able to put Louisville’s best foot forward to show how amazing this city is and how much we have to offer through the Kentucky Derby.”

HLN’s Morning Express news anchor Robin Meade was part of the All Star Jam.

In the weeks leading up to the Kentucky Derby, local headlines are filled with the names of celebrities, announcing who can be expected to attend each of the signature Derby events. Every year since its inception in 2012, Unbridled Eve has played Derby Eve host to an impressive roster of actors, musicians, athletes, authors and captains of industry. These celebrity guests are not paid an appearance fee and are not segregated from the rest of the crowd; often, at the delight of guests, they are seated at tables alongside ticketed attendees.

Many of them traditionally make a sizable donation to the event or contribute one-of-a-kind packages to the auction. It is not unusual to rub elbows with the day’s winning jockey of the Kentucky Oaks or the following day’s winning jockey, owner or trainer of the Kentucky Derby. UE’s guest lists have included Emmy, Grammy, Oscar and Tony Award winners, each year revealing fresh faces alongside familiar names that will join the ever-growing Unbridled Eve family.

The word family is used a lot in reference to Unbridled Eve Derby Gala, and it is a concept and a mission forged from the very beginning by founders, the York sisters. Both well established business leaders within the community, Tonya as the president and owner of York Management and Tammy as the Chief Operation Officer of Delta Dental

of Kentucky, individually, they contribute unique skills to the planning and execution of such a considerable undertaking. Together, they are able to spread the sense of family from their own relationship to volunteers, visiting celebrities, corporate supporters and now, through a family of select charity beneficiaries.

The end goal for Tonya and Tammy has always been to establish a legacy of giving through their gala, a party that has earned the distinction as an Official Kentucky Derby Event. That ambition has come to fruition through The Unbridled Charitable Foundation, a 501(c)(3) that has expanded to support 17 charities this year, and through direct donations to UCF, they have been able to expand their charitable impact year-round.

The two primary beneficiaries for this year’s Unbridled Eve Gala were Blessings in a Backpack, whose charge is to fight childhood hunger by providing disadvantaged elementary school students with meals each weekend, and Fund for the Arts, aiding their efforts to maximize the impact of the arts in Louisville. When Loisville Orchestra Music Director Teddy Abrams attended Unbridled Eve in 2016, the cause of Blessings in a Backpack caught his attention and he enlisted the orchestra to get involved stuffing backpacks with recorders so students could make their own music at home. It was

When you have something like the Derby where everyone is having fun at the races but then you are also able to give back to Louisville – that is really important to us.”

I feel like family every time I come here. Everyone is dressed to the nines but we’re all here for the right reasons. Everyone is going to have a great meal, a great time with great entertainment while raising money for a very worthy cause.”

“

Mira Sorvino: This is our second year here and the people are what brought us back. We rarely do anything without our children so this is like an extended date night for us.”

UE volunteers shut down the dance floor in the early hours of Derby morning.

“

Bonnie Jill-Laflin: This is a great cause with great people. When you think of Southern hospitality, you definitely think of Unbridled Eve. The Kentucky Derby is on a lot of people’s bucket lists, so for me to get to be here every year is an honor.”

Fund for the Arts meets Blessings in a Backpack through Unbridled Charitable Foudation.

The philanthropic efforts didn’t stop there; this year’s efforts expanded its reach to positively impact 15 other local and national organizations in need including: Animal Care Society; APRON, Inc.; Down Syndrome of Louisville; Jefferson Community and Technical College Student Emergency Fund; Kentucky Natural Lands Trust; Kentucky State Police Trooper Island Camp; Louisville Dental Society Mobile Dental Van; Metro United Way; Miracle League of Louisville, Inc.; Operation Homefront; Supplies Over Seas International; Super Student Athletes; USA Cares; WESTEC (The Blue House); and Winter HAYven.

UE volunteer Melissa Richards-Person recounts of her experience: “The thing I love about Unbridled Eve is it’s such a perfect embodiment of the heart of Southern hospitality. ‘Party with a Heart’ isn’t a slogan or a tag line – it’s real! All of us working on the committee are a family; we laugh together, we play together and yes, we argue, but when it counts, we’re there. That sense of ‘family’ extends to our guests – the way we host our celebrities and the way they want to return year after year, certainly, but every one of our guests is treated with the same grace and care. For example, this year we had 19 signature cocktails that were all created by the same amazing mixologist, Joe Daily. Nineteen!

Who does that for one event? I couldn’t believe how

P H OTO S B Y C L AY C O O K

TVT.indd 11

he and Southern Glazers Wine & Spirits went all out for the event.”

The cocktail menu isn’t the only thing that is over-the-top. This year’s entertainment line-up was a back-to-back smash-up of world-class performers that kept guests on the dance floor from 9 p.m. to 2 a.m. including John Elefante from the rock group Kansas and Wally Palmar of The Romantics fame. Those famous faces alongside Morris Day and the Time and Taio Cruz soon morphed into an all-star jam featuring news anchor Robin Meade, country music artist J.D. Shelburne and television personality Bob Guiney, eventually culminating with performances by The Crashers and DJ Envy.

The Unbridled Eve family has perfected the art of going the extra mile, never content with delivering on only the basics. They work a little harder, plan a little extra and give a little more. It’s a winning formula that has resulted in the success of the event and benefited so many worthy organizations.

This year, for several lucky volunteers and celebrity guests, their winning formula extended to the track at Churchill Downs for the Kentucky Derby.

A group of UE organizers and guests coordinated their annual pool of $1 superfecta bets and collectively won $75,000. They say, “It is better to give than to receive” – when it comes to the Kentucky Derby, this family of volunteers can now speak with authority on both. VT

BUSINESS

Attention to Detail

By Kellie Doligale | Business Profile

nterior design is a study in balance — combining textures, colors and sizes to hit the perfect note between visual interest and sustainable, everyday living. Lesa Buckler, owner and operator of local interior design powerhouse Details, is no stranger to this mandate for symmetry. Her account of over 15 years in the business highlights a successful balance of familial love and hard work.

“We’re good buyers,” she asserts, “but the thing that makes this business go is the love of the staff and business owners together. We care so much about each other, and it’s so apparent.

I think it just translates over into every aspect, whether it’s sales or design.”

Despite Details’ idealistic foundation, Buckler makes no secret of their unfailing commitment to improvement. Even with countless testimonials and impressive growth to their credit, Buckler and her team never rest on their laurels.

“You can tell by the way I talk that we never stop,” she says with equal parts charm and firmness. “We never stop thinking, we never stop working. You have to do that today if you’re a business owner in retail. It’s more competitive now than I’ve ever seen it. That forces all of us who are successful to stay on our toes in a way that we’ve not been before. You better know your craft.”

Know the craft, she does. Buckler juggles up-to-the-minute knowledge of her market, her clients and the overall economic climate in a manner that sees Details not just surviving but booming at a time when far too many family-owned businesses fall by the wayside. The dream began humbly enough with a desire to work alongside her children when they grew up. Buckler purchased a 1,000-squarefoot retail store while her daughters were still in high school in 2001, and the history is dizzying.

“I had always told them that we would work together and I would open an interior design business when they got older. I bought a tiny existing business that was doing a minimal amount of sales. Within six months, we expanded into the next space that opened up.

Two years later, we doubled again in the same area. When they started building across from Lake Forest, I called the day they brought the

bulldozers in and said I wanted the center spot.

It grew very rapidly. Within four years, it probably grew 300 percent.”

Last year, Details relocated once again to its current location in Middletown and added on to the existing building. “About five years ago, we added on a kitchen and granite business,” Buckler explains. “We do all sorts of in-house cabinetry, whether it’s bathrooms or bookcases or kitchens. That’s fueled our bottom line as well. At a time when internet sales is affecting everyone in retail, people aren’t buying kitchens on the internet very often. That’s something that local people still come to us for.”

Business savvy aside, the Details staff (presently including but not limited to Buckler, her daughter Jacqueline, and her husband Richard) are always attuned to their clients’ logistical goals as well as the notion that they’ve been entrusted with a precious space. Even with large jobs like full-scale remodels well within their repertoire, they’re likewise happy to satisfy far smaller requests, such as selecting the perfect mirror from a catalog.

“When you have somebody come into your home to work, to place items, to help you make decisions, you want them to bring good energy into your space. You want them to have more than good product and good design, of course, but you want an overall good feeling when the project is over.”

One can’t help but deduce that Details’

12

ability to supply that “good feeling” may be attributed to the simple conclusion of a dream fulfilled.

“I did get to work with my daughters,” Buckler beams. “It’s been amazing. One of them no longer works day-to-day in the business, but she’s a good source of clientele for us. Jacqueline is the interior designer working here fulltime. She was gone in Nashville for five years, and we’re thrilled out of our minds that she’s back.”

Buckler is ever business-minded, however, and rightfully so. She speaks about Details not unlike it’s another child requiring all the same investment of time, energy, funds and attention to – well, detail. As such, she wouldn’t jeopardize its success. “Not only is Jacqueline my daughter, but she’s really good at what she does. Even if she’s mine, if she weren’t good, she wouldn’t be here.”

So the secret to Details’ success is really no secret at all. At the cornerstone of a mother’s wish to work with her own daughters is a less sentimental but undeniable asset: hard work.

That very balance sees the Buckler family both happy and successful. VT Details Furniture Galleries & Design 11816 Shelbyville Road 502.253.0092 detailsint.com

KENTUCKYONE HEALTH ANNOUNCES EVOLUTION OF ITS STRUCTURE FOR CARE IN KENTUCKY KentuckyOne Health, a leading health system committed to bringing wellness, healing and hope to the Commonwealth of Kentucky, announced recently the next evolution of its approach to care. KentuckyOne Health will focus its operations on a smaller footprint centered in Central and Eastern Kentucky. In doing so, the organization will be better positioned to continue focusing on quality patient care, continue to invest in opportunities for growth and improve the overall health and wellness of individuals across Kentucky.

Facilities of the new structure of KentuckyOne Health will include Our Lady of Peace, Flaget Memorial Hospital, Saint Joseph Hospital, Saint Joseph East, Saint Joseph Jessamine, Saint Joseph Mount Sterling, Saint Joseph London and Saint Joseph Berea, as well as KentuckyOne Health Partners Clinically Integrated Network and KentuckyOne Health Medical Group provider practices in central and eastern Kentucky and Bardstown.

“Since the creation of KentuckyOne Health in 2012, and through our dedicated employees and physicians, KentuckyOne Health has achieved many accomplishments.

We have helped break down barriers to care in our communities; introduced new and advanced models of care; supported growth and opportunities for our employees and physicians and helped make our communities stronger,” said Ruth W. Brinkley, president and CEO of KentuckyOne Health.

“We have also acknowledged the significant challenges to our integrated vision and our long-term success. The great change and great uncertainty in the healthcare industry has strained our financial health. Market forces have evolved to the point that change is needed to allow ongoing support for health and wellness in Kentucky.”

FOURTH STREET LIVE! ANNOUNCES NEW COLLABORATIVE WORKSPACE FOR DOWNTOWN LOUISVILLE Spark Louisville will become a central hub for local entrepreneurs, creators and innovators to locate and grow their businesses.

Fourth Street Live! recently announced that Louisville’s newest collaborative workspace, Spark Louisville, will be coming to the project in 2018.

RABBIT HOLE DISTILLING AND PROPRIETORS LLC ANNOUNCE ONE-OF-A-KIND PARTNERSHIPS Rabbit Hole Distilling – the new bourbon and whiskey distillery bringing modernity to Louisville – and Proprietors LLC – the company behind many of the country’s top bars including Death & Co in NYC and The Walker Inn in LA – announce a first-of-its-kind partnership never before seen on this scale in the spirits community. The multifaceted alliance centers around a collaboration within Rabbit Hole’s forthcoming Louisville distillery, where Proprietors LLC is the operating partner for a ground level bar and restaurant, tasting room and event space. The 55,000-square-foot facility opens late 2017 in Louisville’s historic NuLu neighborhood, and modernizes the city’s Urban Bourbon Trail.

The partnership is built upon a truly symbiotic collaboration between the two groups. According to Kaveh Zamanian, Rabbit Hole’s founder and whiskey Mmker, and David Kaplan, co-owner of Proprietors LLC and Death & Co, it’s a natural overlap for both brands, starting with phenomenal spirits that set the foundation for exceptional cocktails. Both brands infuse knowledge and passion into the project – a beautiful marriage between art, science and craft.

“We looked for a counterpart whose philosophies mirror ours,” says Zamanian. “Both sides involved have dedicated their lives to knocking down barriers and breaking the rules in the spirits industry. Doing something differently that isn’t fleeting. We wanted the best of the best to be a part of this project, and we’re lucky that we found a match who truly is.”

The star of the show is a world-class bar with a worldclass spirits maker adjacent. Proprietors will use their varied experience to bring a new approach to the cocktail program, one that will have a deep respect for whiskey while embracing both local and international flavors and techniques. Cocktails will be divided into four sections: Refreshing, From the Market, Adventurous and Spirituous, each embodying a concise narrative and appealing to a wide spectrum of guests. While the cocktail program will celebrate American whiskey, it’s not exclusively whiskeyfocused and will showcase visually stunning creations with modern culinary techniques. The concept carries guests through indoor and outdoor spaces, including a front bar room with courtyard and a more intimate rear bar with a differentiated style of service.

The distillery building including the event space, retail and distillery courtyard will open late 2017. The new bar and restaurant will open in the spring of 2018.

GO RED FOR WOMEN LUNCHEON RAISES FUNDS, AWARENESS OF HEART DISEASE AND STROKE PREVENTION On Friday May 19, 2017, more than 900 women and men, decked out in red, will be inspired at the 14th Annual Go Red For Women Luncheon at the Louisville Marriott Downtown.

The Go Red For Women movement and the annual luncheon began because more women were dying from heart disease

13 TVT.indd 13

than men. Now it’s the world’s largest network of women raising awareness of the dangers of heart disease and stroke. And it’s making a difference! Heart disease and stroke cause one in three deaths among women each year – more than all cancers combined. Heart disease and stroke are the greatest health threats women face. They are the No. 1 and No. 5 killers of women over age 20.

“Women are very busy keeping up with the needs of their children, their spouses, their aging parents, often while building their careers and volunteering in the community.

The Go Red Movement is about raising awareness about the need for women to also take care of themselves, “ said Passport Health Plan VP Chief Marketing and Communications Officer and Go Red for Women Luncheon Chair Jill Bell. “It’s about empowering women to know their numbers and to improve their health and well-being.

I encourage everyone to take time out for yourselves.

Exercise, take a deep breath, pause, meditate, take a bubble bath ... do whatever makes you happy. Let’s encourage each other and Go Red!” The Go Red For Women Luncheon will feature a Macy’s survivor fashion show, health expo with breakout sessions and a cooking demonstration from culinary genius Chef Bobby Benjamin from Butchertown Grocery. The health expo and breakout sessions begin at 10 a.m. with the luncheon starting at 11:30 a.m. Rachel Platt from WHAS-11 will once again emcee the event.

Tickets to the luncheon include a networking, heart health expo, breakout session, a heart-healthy lunch and more.

Tickets are $125 and sponsorship tables are still available.

SAINT XAVIER HIGH SCHOOL WILL PRESENT THE 2017 OUTSTANDING ALUMNUS AWARD TO ALBERT C. HORTON AT THE SCHOOL’S 145TH COMMENCEMENT EXERCISES ON SUNDAY, MAY 21 AT BROADBENT ARENA Al Horton lives the spirit of Saint Xavier High School and the mission of Xaverian Brothers’ education in his commitment to hard work, faith and family. St. X honors him for those commitments, for his long leadership and service to the Saint Xavier Board of Directors and for his wise counsel and supportive friendship to each president or principal at St. X for more than 30 years.

Al’s love for the Xaverian Brothers and for St. X grew during his early years as a student at the Broadway campus and as a member of the first graduating class on Poplar Level Road.

Lillian “Lil” Faye (Mercer) Knable, 79, of New Albany passed away peacefully on May 11, 2017 at Baptist Health Floyd Hospital surrounded by the laughter and tears of her close friends and family.

Lil was born on February 26, 1938 in McKee, Kentucky to the late Odie and Lucy (Slone) Mercer. Her family moved to New Albany, Indiana when she was a child and lived, the majority of her life, in the community she loved. She was a 1956 graduate of New Albany High School and married the late Alfred L. Knable, Sr. in 1960 In addition to being a homemaker and a mother of five children, she worked at her husband’s family dental practice for over 20 years. In 1984, she began working at Samtec in the Accounts Payable Department, a job she enjoyed for 23 years until her retirement in 2007. In her retirement, Lil remained active with friends and family.

She attended Bible Study and worked at the coffee shop most Sunday mornings at Northside Christian Church. She was an avid Bunco player in which she remained a dedicated player to the same group for 27 years. Lil also enjoyed consignment shopping with her friends.

Lil rarely went anywhere in town without seeing an old friend to talk to and loved having that companionship. She will be remembered for her funny, quick wit and her determination in difficult times. She taught her children the importance of hard work and responsibility to their commitments.

Lil is survived by her children, Nick Knable (Joanne), Leslie Knable (Jeff ), Al Knable, Jr. (Jessica), Daniel Knable (Leslie), and Jana Hankins (Bryan);

grandchildren, Chelsea Stout (Zach), Alissa Bennett (Solomon), Bailey Knable, Cain, Isaac, and Georgia Mathewson, Clair, Harrison, Elias, Nolan, Isabella, and Louis Knable, and Holden Hankins; great-grandchildren, Xavier and Xander Lillian Stout; brother, Ellis Mercer; and her loving Kitty Gant.

The family would like to express their thanks to her friends, Bridget Kessinger and Bobbi Smith, for their care and companionship during Lil’s final days.

Visitation was held from noon to 6 p.m. Tuesday, May 16, 2017 at Newcomer Funeral Home (3309 Ballard Ln., New Albany) and her Memorial Service followed at 6 p.m.

Contributions in her memory may be made to the Pulmonary Fibrosis Foundation (230 East Ohio Street, Suite 500, Chicago, Illinois 60611).

Edelen, Dr. William Barnett Owen Dr. William Barnett Owen Edelen, 76 passed away Friday, May 12, 2017. Owen was born in Louisville, Kentucky on June 6, 1940 to the late Dr. Charles Maurice and Emily Owen Edelen Newman.

A 1973 graduate of the University of Louisville Medical School, Owen spent over three decades caring for thousands of patients as a board certified Ophthalmologist until his retirement in 2009. Practitioner and clinical professor with the Department of Ophthalmology at The University of Louisville, Children’s and Veterans Hospital, Owen was a passionate champion of the Louisville medical community. He believed deeply in the value of mentoring young medical professionals and spent much of his life caring for the medically underserved community. A member of The Greater Louisville Medical Society and

Kentucky Medical Association, Owen served on the Board of Trustees for Frazier Rehab Institute and was chairman of the Peer Review committee for Jewish Hospital and St. Mary’s Elizabeth Hospital.

Owen was a beloved husband, father, uncle, son, brother and friend. He devoted his love and time to his cherished family and close friends. No matter the circumstances he was always there for others. Always. His thoughtful, calm and even temperament will be missed.

He enjoyed the outdoors, especially hunting with lifelong friends. He was a skilled marksman and could be found in the woods and fields of Kentucky during dove season. Later in life, he found golf. He enjoyed the friendships, the challenge of the sport and the chance to be outdoors with those he cherished after a long day at work.

Above all he loved being with his family.

Owen is survived by Anne, his wife of 46 years, daughters Caroline Gates (Robert), Campbell Lloyd (Brent) and son, Barnett (Kate); four grandchildren, Michaela and Alexandra Gates and Madeline and Claiborne Lloyd; his brother Charles Edelen and two sisters, Katherine Tichenor and Emily Crawford; Dorothy Tarpin; nephews Sam English and Barnett English and nieces Elizabeth Anderson, Polly Crawford and Winston Wiant; and nine grandnieces.

ollege basketball’s annual postseason has a well known reputation for being “mad.”

Despite all the marketing centered around the madness of March, it’s probably the NCAA basketball tournament’s baseball brethren that’s more deserving of the adjective.

Field. UofL also has the greatest weapon in the country in dualthreat superstar Brendan McKay, a player who very well might be the No. 1 overall pick in next month’s Major League Baseball Draft.

The point is that college baseball’s postseason comes with even fewer guarantees than the single-elimination basketball tournament that captivates this area for one month every year.

Dan McDonnell’s Louisville Cardinals know this all too well. In each of the last two seasons, UofL has carried a national seed and legitimate hopes of a national title into the postseason. And in each of the last two seasons, the Cardinals have been stunned on their home field in the super regional round by a California school out of the Big West Conference.

There are no guarantees. That doesn’t mean you should be unwilling to give your attention and your heart to the Louisville baseball team for the next several weeks.

Heading into the final weekend of the regular season, Louisville has already set a new program record for wins in a single season, eclipsing the mark that its 2010 and 2013 teams set. The second-ranked Cardinals have claimed the Atlantic Division title for the third consecutive year and will be the favorite and top seed at next week’s Dan McDonnell.

Cardinal fans who have yet to experience Omaha would like to find that out for themselves next month. They’d also like for their stay to be more than just a couple of days.

What Louisville baseball has become over the last decade is remarkable, there’s no arguing otherwise. There are some, however, who won’t be satisfied until the program takes that toughest of final steps and claims a national title. Or at least plays its way deep into the College World Series.

UofL’s past two super regional disappointments and its 1-6 record in three appearances at the College World Series have some taking a wait-and-see approach into this season’s home stretch. I would urge you not to do that.

No college baseball team in the country has a better record than Louisville’s, and no team has a better shot to win a national championship than the Cardinals do. Those are a pair of distinctions that come with zero guarantees as far as college baseball’s postseason is concerned, but they should come with the guarantee of having the full attention and support of their fan base. I think they will, and I think the next month of Cardinal baseball might be the most special we’ve ever seen. VT

But if college freshmen have Killeya-Jones also acted with the power to do anything, it’s dignity and composure, at least the power to surprise. And outwardly, as his playing time

diminished to nothing during last season. Among the commentary that accompanied him to Lexington was the proviso that “he likely doesn’t project as a one-and-done for Calipari,” so at least to that extent he’s probably right where he ought to be.

Look, Willie Cauley-Stein came to UK under the considerable shadow of Nerlens Noel then hung around for three seasons here, and I don’t think anybody suggests Cauley-Stein was in any way a disappointment.

It’s just that you never know what you’re going to get with freshmen. Big high school centers suddenly look slender on the college stage. Speedy guards don’t look so speedy.

Average high school shooters become horribly undependable college shooters. Some are forced to play out of position.

Some don’t get the minutes they’d like.

Some don’t like sharing the

ball — never had to, much, in high school. Some can’t play defense — never had to, much, in high school.

Some don’t respond to coaching. Some don’t like to practice. Some don’t like to be yelled at. (“I’d never been criticized before,” Andrew Harrison admitted during his freshman season.)

Some get homesick or overwhelmed. Some get hurt. Some come up short in the character department, no matter how many hours Calipari and Payne spend in the kids’ living rooms or talking to their high school coaches.

Some look at Calipari’s record of lottery picks and think all they have to do is slip on the blue and white uniform and their ticket is punched.

The point is, it’s great fun to win the recruiting sweepstakes in April and May. That doesn’t always mean much the following March. VT

“She is always ready to go,” says Jones. “She loves the game so much and set a goal that she is going to play college ball.

When she set foot in here [at Ballard], in order to play college ball, you have to bring your A-game day in and day out.

She has stayed focused on that one goal and it shows.”

Barber, who grew up a UofL fan, attended softball camps at the university when she was 7 or 8. From there, she decided to make it her dream school. In her words, she “grew up in the program” even before she committed, and now it’s a privilege to be able to play softball at a high level and continue to play the game she loves.

The most exciting sentiment will be hearing the support from her hometown. She isn’t the only Ballard product who’s committed to the University of Louisville and who often reflects on the first childhood encounters they had with the program or its head coach.

Barber Looking to Make Major Impact at UofL

to being a big supporter and leader, I step in wherever they need me to. I really want to impact the program on the field, on the bases, and when I am up to bat. Whatever I can do to help the team, I think I will step into that role and take is seriously and take it with confidence. I really want to make sure I leave an impact – whether it is physically or emotionally, I really want to make sure I leave a mark there as well.”

As a varsity starter the past four years, Barber has grown from mentee to mentor and apprentice to veteran in the high school ranks. When she’s in practice and during games, her fixation tends to be on younger teammates who walk in the shoes she was once in.

It’s made her realize the importance of leaving behind the right impression.

“This year as a senior, I have really stepped up and been a leader, not only vocally, but also leading by example with the younger kids especially,” she adds. “We have a couple of younger starters, and I like to think I have taken them under my wing and shown them hard

work does pay off.

“So when people think of Catie Barber or when they think of Ballard, they think of someone who worked really hard to get to where she was.

Something I learned as a really young kid, no matter what kind of day you’re having, on or off, you should always give 120 percent, and I think giving effort and being a leader and always giving more than 100 percent into it is something I want people to remember about me.”

Coach Jones has coached a plethora of talent that has been college-ready their senior season. He says when Barber walks into UofL, she won’t be your average incoming freshman.

“UofL is getting a kid that is

like a junior instead of a freshman in college,” he says, as Catie has already endured the grueling treatment of weight lifting, hard practices and changes she can expect at the next level.

Could Barber have chosen to play softball at any top program in the nation? Jones believes so, and as a result, hopes UofL understands the caliber of player they are getting.

“UofL is getting a superb player and she needs to be playing, not watching,” Jones argues. “You don’t find much of those kids going to UofL. They are getting a special player, and I hope they know she is the type of player that needs to be in their lineup.” VT

A Building Most Beautiful

French, it is a cross between a fish-

ing village and a beach on the t was a rainy, gloomy Riviera. Part of this town’s appeal day as we sailed into the is the opportunity to visit its calanbay of Monte Carlo and ques (new word to me) which are docked in the Harbor. Some a series of coves nestled between of the guests went sight-seehigh limestone cliffs.

These lanes are lined with have nothing to do except just what charming restaurants, creperies, ice cream shops that include the best passion fruit flayou wanted to do!

One store was all candy, like gummy see up close the work being done to be bears and sour apples displayed in 50-gallon ready for the Monte Carlo Grand Prix. barrels.

The day was topped off with a gala dinner for all the “world travelers” at the famous brasserie style restaurant Cafe de Paris. This is in the Hotel de Paris next to the legendary Grand Casino of Monte Carlo. The Cafe has been remodeled and is extremely modern. (I miss the old Grand Baroque “look.”)

Cocktails and dinner were served in the stylish rooftop venue which was all white – walls, linens, china and beautiful floral centerpieces. Dinner was simple but delicious. A “log” of goose liver pate, a boneless chicken leg/thigh in some marvelous sauce and a dense chocolate mousse with passion fruit ice cream made the meal. And the matched wines were superb.

Some went next door to play at the Casino and the rest took their full tummies back to the ship.

The next day, we sailed into Marseille (known as Marseilles in English) in Provence.

This beautiful city is the second largest in France to Paris and was founded by the Greeks in the sixth century B.C. The harbor itself is home to the remains of ancient walls, Roman docks and temples. Most interestingly, medieval structures stand alongside modern buildings and restaurants. Two large ancient forts flank the entrance to the old port, Fort Saint-Nicholas on the south and Fort Saint-Jean on the north.

There all sorts of churches, abbeys and museums and a palace or two to visit, but for our one day in this port, we chose an excursion to Cassis. It is located on the southern edge of France between Marseille and Toulon. Loved as a vacation destination by the

It was too bad that the day was more than a little “fresh” as the English like to say when they are describing “colder than expected.”

It was cloudy too, but the rain held off until we climbed back up one of the lanes to get back into our coach to make our trip back to Marseille where we discovered that city’s enormous waterfront ferris wheel in another part of the harbor. Good thing we are going to be back here again next year or husband Brad would have jumped out of the coach to ride it – and would probably have missed the ship’s sailing to Barcelona that evening.

Barcelona is one of my favorite cities because of the Cathedral of the Sagrada Familia (Holy Family) designed by the renowned Antonio Gaudi. The United Nations World Trust protects many of his structures, and this iconic church is one of his most famous buildings. He began work on this incredible building in 1882 at the age of 31. He realized he could never finish this enormous project. He would die in 1926, the result of a streetcar accident.

Many architects and builders worked with his drawings, and the building is still under construction! Craftsmen work on it daily. During the Spanish Civil War in 1936, citizens worked day and night to save this beloved cathedral from fire that raged through the port.

It is one of the most awesome, incredible, creative works of art that is also utilitarian.

It alone is worth a trip to Barcelona. Thousands of people flock to visit La Sagrada each day; Catholics, atheists, people of all religions come to visit this incredible church as it is both church, art and museum.

We went online months before our arrival

and bought our tickets. It cost 24 euros each for a senior ticket and audio description system. We had been there several years ago and knew that hundreds of people visit each day. Our memory remained fresh and we had to see the newest construction.

It has been called the “cathedral of fragments.” It was a first experience with what has later been called “collage.” I think of the fantasies of Aladdin when I see it.

Gaudi counted on an active and direct collaboration with architects, sculptors, potters, stone masons, etc. To me, it is the grandest, most glorious, creative, beautiful, thought-provoking edifice in the world.

There are tall intertwined stone towers with gilded crowns and columns. Each façade tells a story. Currently, two of the three façades are finished, the Nativity and the Passion. The Glory is still under construction. There are “lifts” to take you up into the completed towers.

There are no pews. Folding chairs are set up in a roped off area in front of the main altar. Anyone may enter this area for Mass or to just sit and marvel at the beauty

of what has been completed. There is a museum in the basement.

If architecture and beauty are your “thing” then this is a “must-see.” You will remember it all your life. I hope to live long enough to see this glorious homage to Christianity completed and visit it once more.

We then had a day at sea to recover before sailing into the harbor at Gibraltar.

It is a tiny rock of only 2.6 square miles!

To the ancient Greeks and Romans, it was one of the two Pillars of Hercules, set up by the mythical hero to mark the edge of the known world.

It is a British Overseas Territory and shares its northern border with Spain. It is densely populated and has over 30,000 residents!

An Anglo-Dutch force captured Gibraltar from Spain in 1704 during the War of Spanish Succession. It was ceded to Britain “in perpetuity” under the Treaty of Utrecht in 1713. During WWII, it was an important base for the Royal Navy as it controlled the entrance and exit to the Mediterranean Sea, which is only eight miles wide at this

point.

Today, Gibraltar’s economy is based largely on tourism, online gambling, financial services and shipping. It contains many tunneled roads, most of which are still operated by the military and closed to the general public.

Instead of a formal tour, and because it was a Sunday when most shops are closed, we opted for a leisurely stroll from the ship across the downtown to the cable car station. The ride to the top of the rock took six minutes, where we were immediately greeted by Gibraltar’s famous apes. Cute and nasty at the same time, these creatures are not original to Gibraltar. They are transplants from years ago. They will steal out of your backpack or purse, snatch your sunglasses, and have been known to bite with their very viscous teeth.

After a ride on the cable car back to the bottom, we took a cab back to the ship for lunch.

Next stops are Cadiz in Spain, Lisbon and Funchal, Madeira in Portugal. Then we head across the Atlantic toward the good old U.S. of A. VT

Buy Local Fair

This Sunday, the Louisville Independent Business Alliance (LIBA) will be hosting the ninth annual Buy Local Fair at Louisville Water Tower Park from noon to 6 p.m. The afternoon is always a much anticipated event as it shines a spotlight on the eclectic and diverse businesses that make Louisville’s cultural identity so wonderfully unique. To learn more about this year’s event, we spoke with LIBA Executive Director Jennifer Rubenstein.

What is the Buy Local Fair?

This is the ninth annual Buy Local Fair, which grew from very humble beginnings to the major event it is today. It features 180+ local shops, artists, services, farmers, restaurants and libations, plus live music, a Kids Area, craft cocktail competition and live cooking competition – and more.

What can guests expect at the event?

A truly enjoyable afternoon with friends and family, where something can be found for all while also making an important impact on our community. Shopping is of course a major attraction (and there are so many unique items to choose from!), but with the live music, excellent food and drink, Kids Zone and Back Porch (for the adults), it’s easy to make a day of it.

How has the event grown over the years?

The event was started with just 10 or 15 businesses as a partnership with Louisville Visual Art and Grasshoppers. Over the years, LIBA has grown in membership (over 900 members now), and so has the Fair.

Various components have been added every year. This year, we’re adding a Cocktail Competition.

Patrons will be able to purchase a $5 flight of samples then vote for their favorite. We now estimate 8,000 people attend the Fair.

Why is the event important for the Louisville Independent Business Alliance and the greater community?

Our mission is to educate the public about the impact of buying local, so what better way than to bring our local businesses together with thousands of Louisvillians who are ready to buy!

What impact do you think LIBA as a whole has on the community?

There are two major ways (along with countless others) that buying local impacts our community. First, it keeps more money circulating locally. A study conducted in Louisville showed that for every $100 spent, $55 remains circulating when spent at a local,

independent business (whereas only $14 when spent with a chain). But also, when you support local businesses, you support the places that give our city its sense of place – keeping it unique and weird!

These businesses can’t be found anywhere besides our home sweet home.

Is it too late to get tickets?

No tickets needed! Bicycles are free, and parking is $5 per carload. Come one, come all! VT

Beauty & the Blogger

Throughout the Derby season, we partnered with SKYN LOUNGE to bring you the best skincare and makeup tips to keep you looking your best at the track and on the town. This week, we revisited Erica McDowell, owner of SKYN LOUNGE, and Paloma Thacker, blogger of Her Bendy Life, to discover the best way to let your skin heal after the overindulgence of Louisville’s most exciting two weeks of the year.

Here, she shares advice on how to Derby detox.

Carita eye patches are meant to reduce puffiness and dark circles due to lack of sleep. As a bonus, they are known as a one-time-use supreme wrinkle solution. Let them sit for 15 minutes, then rub in the remaining product with your fingertips after removing the patches. Erica says, “The eye pads are soaked in peptides and hyaluronic acid, which are moisturizing and collagen-building ingredients.

You’ve been on the go and running around so this will add firmness and moisture under the eye area after lack of sleep.”

You are undoubtedly tired of striving for a glam level 10 daily, so embrace a more fresh and natural makeup routine going into the summer. A simple highlight routine under your foundation or tinted sunscreen can add the perfect illuminated and dewy glow. Erica recommends using ZenSKYN Mineral Illuminated Concealer in a half to a full shade lighter than your skin tone.

Erica also recommends LED Light Therapy as a great way for post-Derby care. The procedure reduces redness and inflammation while brightening skin and increasing circulation.

Add just a hint of subtle color on the lip. To achieve this effortlessly natural look on Paloma, Erica used ZenSKYN Color Stick Lips in Cordial.

f you’ve ever wondered what inspires the idea of an enchanted garden, your question is answered. Yew Dell Botanical Gardens are 60 acres of pure magic located in Crestwood. As a botanical garden, they include display gardens, unusual plants and even a tiny castle. And, especially for this time of year, there may be no more charming place to go.

The magic of Yew Dell lies in the wide expanse of nature that surrounds visitors. Jackie Gulbe, Yew Dell’s director of marketing and events, encourages anyone to come to the gardens. “It’s a great place for people,” she says. “You can be a die-hard horticulture professional and come see plants you don’t see anywhere else, or you can be a novice who’s not totally sure what your level of interest is.” No matter what, there is something for you to explore at Yew Dell. “We have display gardens, an arboretum, a woodland area with a hiking trail and a pond,” Gulbe says. “It’s just a great place for people.”

Yew Dell is also set apart by both local and national recognition. “We were voted one of the top 10 destination gardens in the U.S. by Horticulture Magazine,” Gulbe says proudly. “We’re also on the national register of historic places, and USA Today voted us one of the Top 25 places for unique architecture.” A stroll through the area reveals walls, greenhouses and even a cabin and the small castle, all with unique charm.

The gardens were perfect for a Mother’s Day celebration, and even though Mom’s big day has passed this year,

why not make Mother’s Day year-round?

As Gulbe asserts, “It’s a great place to come after lunch, or after church. You can come and bring Mom for a walk or a picnic, or to the garden gift shop to let her pick out a gift.” The small, unique shop at the front of the gardens features everything from garden accessories to home decor to jewelry — the perfect spot to browse after your visit.

For newcomers, visiting can be as flexible or as structured as you want. “You’ll stop by the garden gift shop and check in with staff,” Gulbe explains, “and you can take a self-guided tour. Our staff is generally out working, and they’re used to answering questions from A to Z — everything from plants to history to architecture.” She recommends about an hour to explore the core of the gardens, and the same for the hiking trail or arboretum; although, of course, you can spend as much or as little time as you’d like.

For a more structured visit, Gulbe recommends taking a look at the programming that Yew Dell offers — there’s everything from pre-registered yoga classes to casual scavenger hunt lists. “We have a book and blanket checkout for some quiet time, or kids’ backpacks with magnifying glasses and sketchpads, all free to check out at the gift shop,” Gulbe suggests.

And while at the gardens, be sure to find its most classic features, its tiny castle not far from the entrance being just one.

Another beautiful place is the Holly Alleé, a hidden path bordered by rows of holly trees. Gulbe also recommends taking time to visit the arboretum. “It’s well worth it,” she says genuinely. “I can’t even explain the feeling you get when you walk through the collection of trees.”

So when you’re next looking to add a little bit of enchantment to your daily life, Yew Dell is ready and waiting. Whether you’re visiting on Father’s Day (June 18 — mark your calendars!) or another special occasion, the gardens are a beautiful way to add some magic to the everyday. “You can get as involved as you want, spend an hour or spend the day,” Gulbe says. “It’s good for your brain and for your overall well-being. Being in nature soothes you somehow.” Taking a day to unplug and slow down allows the deeper charm of Yew Dell to soak in. “It somehow touches people with an appreciation for nature and everything that nature brings,” Gulbe says. Real magic, after all. VT

long-sought ambition and “A Midsummer Night’s Dream,” a nod to the organization’s very first production back in 1976. As Shakespeare wrote, “The wheel is come full circle.”

“Where we’re standing right now on the precipice of history was a conscious calculation 10 years ago to try to get through all of Shakespeare’s plays,” says Artistic Director Charlie Sexton. “Last season, we did the three parts of ‘Henry VI.’ That left two for this year: ‘King John’ and ‘Henry VIII.’ When ‘Henry VIII’ had its curtain call, we became the first youth conservatory in the world to fully produce all 38 of Shakespeare’s plays, right here in Louisville, Kentucky.”

Sexton assumed leadership after his mother and Walden Theatre’s founder, Nancy Niles Sexton, retired in 1999. As a classical theater training program, Walden has always completed at least one Shakespeare production

per year since its inception. “The study of Shakespeare is really one of the cornerstones of classical theater training,” Sexton says.

“We do nine productions over the course of the year ranging across all sorts of styles and genres, including three Shakespeare plays in repertory as part of the season-ending festival in May.” Ten years ago, he saw the completion of Shakespeare’s collective works within reach. “By the time we got to 2006, I realized that since we’d been doing more and more Shakespeare plays each year, we were actually getting close to finishing the entire canon. We’d done about 23 different ones by then — multiple productions of many of them — but we were beginning to do some that we’d never done. I knew that a lot of the plays we hadn’t done yet were the history plays.”

LIFE

Shakespeare’s plays are categorized as comedies, tragedies or histories. “King John” and “Henry VIII” are infrequently performed by any company because they require large casts, which would amass a significant cost for an adult theater company, Sexton explains. Though CTC still made a significant investment in the form of many, many costumes, the use of student actors lessens the financial burden. They also addressed the casting hurdle with female actors in male roles and, occasionally, staff members acting alongside the students.

Because “King John” and “Henry VIII” are so rarely performed, CTC is also enabling Shakespeare enthusiasts an opportunity to enjoy productions they might not get another chance to see. Sexton says a “Henry VIII.” Photo by Sarah Katherine Davis. couple from Ohio contacted that as we got closer to this achievement, it the Center when they learned would possibly bring attention to our comof the plays’ impending showcase, eager pany and the great work done here,” Sexton to complete their own goal of viewing the says proudly. “It’s certainly had that effect.

The chance to perform, Sexton says, enables them with confidence and skill they take forth into their adult lives, whether they elect to pursue acting professionally or not.

Only six other theater organizations in the United States — all adult companies — can say they’ve completed the canon, and each of them focuses strictly on Shakespeare. Though CTC is presently singled out as the only youth conservatory to do so, Sexton is quick to clarify, “These “King John.” Photo by Crystal Ludwick. are very well trained

Mom Weighs Telling Her Son Truth About Dad’s ‘Time Away’

D

••• EAR ABBY: My DEAR ABBY: My mother-inson, “Jimmy,” is 8. law is very ill and is preparing for His father and I are the end. I feel bad for my spouse – divorced, and he is facing jail this will be a great loss. However, time. Jimmy sees him every my mother-in-law and I have never been close. She has been very negother weekend. I’m planDear Abby ative about me, mostly behind ning on telling Jimmy the my back. I have tolerated her and truth, although I’m sure his JEANNE complained only to my spouse. dad will want me to lie and When the end comes, I know PHILLIPS say he needs to “work out of many people will express sympathy for “my loss.” I won’t be feeling remorse, but town” for a while, or something like a sense of relief. Is there a kind way of statthat.

I know it will be hard for my boy to deal with. I also wonder what he should tell other people. I worry that if he tells his friends the truth (and they tell their parents), Jimmy might not be invited over to play quite as often, or kids will tease him. But I feel like it’s sending a mixed message if I tell him it’s OK to lie about this particular issue. How should I handle this?

— TO TELL THE TRUTH DEAR TRUTH: Jimmy needs to know that his mother tells the truth. If you lie to him about this, or anything else for that matter, when he learns the truth – as he will eventually – he will start to question the veracity of everything you have told him. This is a lot for an 8-year-old to deal with, I know, but I vote for keeping the boy informed.

••• DEAR ABBY: My boyfriend and I have been dating for two months. I think I’m being too clingy, but he won’t tell me if I am. He says when I ask for reassurance, it drives him away.

Every time we do anything remotely sexual, he tells me he feels guilty about it. He is sweet and caring. I don’t know what I’m doing wrong. I have never been so in love. I don’t want to lose him. What should I do? — IN LOVE IN ILLINOIS DEAR IN LOVE: This may seem counterintuitive, but take a step back. Stop asking for reassurance. Because he says he feels guilty about doing anything remotely sexual, the next time he makes a move, be less willing. Tell him you don’t want him to do anything that he will be sorry about later, and remind him what he said the last time. It may improve your relationship because, from your description, he appears to be immature and not ready for a romance.

ing that it is not a sad time for me because of our strained relationship? — THE END IS NEAR DEAR END: Much as you might like to express those feelings publicly, I don’t advise it. It would be inappropriate and reflect badly on you. If someone offers condolences, say, “Thank you, how kind of you,” and keep the rest to yourself. If you do otherwise, you will be validating every bad thing that woman said behind your back.

••• DEAR ABBY: My stepmother had a recipe for meatloaf that she found in your column years ago. She made it for us often when we visited and we all loved it. However, we have been unable to locate that recipe anywhere and don’t remember how to make it. Could you reprint the recipe for me? We’ve been trying others, but yours is the best. — JENNA IN JACKSONVILLE, FLORIDA DEAR JENNA: I’m pleased to share that recipe once again. I have made it and we love it too. Now that you have mentioned it, when I go to the market later, I’ll pick up the ingredients and make it for dinner tonight. The leftovers make wonderful sandwiches! This recipe is part of my cookbooklet set, which has recipes for appetizers, soups, salads, vegetable side dishes, main courses and delicious desserts. The set can be ordered by sending your name and mailing address, plus check or money order for $14 (U.S. funds) to: Dear Abby – Cookbooklet Set, P.O. Box 447, Mount Morris, IL 61054-0447. By the way, the cookbooklet set also contains a tasty recipe for turkey meatloaf for those who have sworn off red meat, which clearly I haven’t.

MEATLOAF • 2 lbs. ground beef • 1 cup seasoned Italian bread crumbs • 1/2 cup finely chopped onion

1/3 cup ketchup 1/3 cup water 1 teaspoon garlic powder 2 eggs Pepper to taste Salt, if desired 4 strips bacon, if desired Heat oven to 350 degrees.

In large bowl, combine all ingredients except bacon. Shape into a loaf; place in 9-by-5-inch pan. Arrange bacon strips on top of meat mixture, if desired. Bake for 60 minutes. Serves 6 to 8.

••• DEAR ABBY: I have been dating “Brian” for five months. We are very compatible and have discussed spending the rest of our lives together. He is 54; I am 59.

The deal-breaker for me is his “daughter” (“Allison”), who is actually the daughter of a friend of his. Allison and Brian’s two grown sons grew up together. She’s 24.

Allison no longer hangs out, talks with or visits Brian’s sons, but she is close to Brian.

She has no girlfriends, no male friends and she’s estranged from her parents. Brian helps her with school projects, they go to lunch, walk on the beach, text/talk on the phone, go on bike rides, go hiking, etc. He tells me he’s a father figure to her.

I have met Allison and I think her behavior is a little too flirtatious for a daughter/ father relationship. She also made a couple of inappropriate comments to me during our first meeting. When I mention to Brian that I don’t think it’s a healthy “friendship,” he becomes defensive. Should I bow out now and cut my losses, get to know Allison better or tell Brian it’s me or her? — THIRD WHEEL OUT WEST DEAR THIRD WHEEL: Brian seems like a nice, caring person. You have known him for only five months. I vote for standing pat a while longer and making an effort to befriend Allison. If she’s truly as alone as you describe, she could use an older, more experienced woman in her life. You might even find you like her rather than feel threatened by her.

However, if that’s not feasible, you can always cut your losses and run, but not right now.

Meet Diego! Eight-year-old Diego came to the Kentucky Humane Society when his owner became allergic to him. Now he’s looking for an allergy-free family to call his own! Diego is a big boy weighing over seventeen pounds and would love a family who can help him get his weight down. He isn’t much for toys but loves attention and a warm lap to sit in. Diego has lived with both dogs and cats, so we think he’d be the perfect cat for almost any home. Do you have enough room in your heart and on your couch for his handsome boy? Diego is neutered, micro-chipped and up-to-date on all vaccinations. Come meet him today at the Springhurst Feeders Supply, 9485 Brownsboro Road. For more on Diego or any of our adoptable pets, please call 502-366-3355 or visit kyhumane.org.

Meet Mannie! Five-year-old Mannie is an active, adorable Beagle mix looking for a family to love.

Mannie came to the Kentucky Humane Society when his owner was moving and unable to bring Mannie along. Now Mannie is searching for his true forever home! In his former home, Mannie shared his space with another dog and did very well with him. He has never met a cat, so we are unsure how he would do in a home with felines. Mannie is crate trained, knows many basic commands and loves to go on walks with his people.

Could you be the happily-ever-after Mannie has been searching for? Mannie is neutered, micro-chipped and up-to-date on all vaccinations.
