Paolo DelPiccolo, Ilija Ilic, Tarek Morad and Greg Ranjitsingh of Louisville City FC� Photo by Clay Cook

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

Soak up your city while you soak up the sun this summer. This issue is bursting with a bevy of ideas and suggestions on how to spend a sweltering day. From our feature on Louisville City Football Club to our Arts & Entertainment summer preview guide, we make it easy for you to fill your days with sports, culture and some tasty treats.

I must confess, I was painfully disappointed to be out of town during our photo shoot with Louisville City FC players Paolo DelPiccolo, Ilija Ilic, Tarek Morad and Greg Ranjitsingh. I knew there would be a great deal of photogenic energy on set that day as Clay Cook snapped some action shots, but what I didn’t suspect was that they would each have such an admirable commitment to the community for which they play. True, all players for Louisville City FC are contractually required to make community appearances, but what was revealed is that without fail, they consistently exceed the minimum requirement due to their passion for the city.

OK, here comes the true confession – my absence did give me the false confidence to ask the players to take their shirts off for a photo (via email). I know, I know – shameless. Luckily, my colleagues on set were not as bashful as I in following through with the request, and the players were, I’m told, accustomed to and comfortable with that innocent level of undress. Perhaps being out of town was for the best for me after all. I fear I would have reverted back to girlhood giggles and stripped the Tonya Abeln experience of all professionalism. In the meantime, my shame is your gain, and the photos (both fully clothed and otherwise) are a festive representation of their skills and their camaraderie. You’re welcome!

Enjoy a walk across the Big Four Bridge followed by some casual outdoor dining at The Parlour in Jeffersonville, sip a bubbly Bravazzi (newly launched in Louisville) poolside while wearing a summer style statement suggested by Alexandra Hepfinger in this week’s hot Voice of Style column, or plan on filling your upcoming months with indoor and outdoor recreation by using our Arts & Entertainment 2017-18 season preview guide. With The Voice-Tribune in hand, your summer is sure to sizzle.

PLAYING FOR THE

COMMUNITY

Story by Remy Sisk | Photography by Clay Cook

t’s hard to miss if you’re downtown on a Louisville City Football Club game day. Swaths of purple and gold permeate the blocks surrounding Louisville Slugger Field, and devoted fans of all ages decked out in scarves, headwear, body paint and, of course, jerseys crowd the streets in emphatic illustrations of support of Louisville’s professional soccer team. And though the excitement of the game and the skill of the players are without a doubt spectacular aspects of Louisville City FC, these players – and company as a whole – sincerely care about and engage with the local community on an unprecedented level. All players are required contractually to make community appearances; however, every single one of them regularly exceeds the minimum requirement due to an authentic passion for Louisville and its myriad nonprofits. The team has worked in the past with Engelhard Elementary, the Boys & Girls Club and several other worthy organizations and demonstrated a true commitment to giving back. In fact, in 2016, the team totaled more than 2,000 hours in the community.

Four of the most recognizable players from the team – Paolo DelPiccolo, Ilija Ilic, Tarek Morad and Greg Ranjitsingh – recently stopped by The Voice-Tribune for an unforgettable photo shoot. But while they were here, we caught up with them about what role they believe they’ve played in the bettering of our community and why, despite the fact that they have come from all over the world, Louisville already holds such a special place in their hearts.

F E AT U R E

PAOLO DELPICCOLO (NO. 36) Position: Midfielder Hometown: Denver, Colorado What are you proud to bring to the team?: I think I bring good leadership, defensive work and passing to the team. I like to think of myself as the guy that carries the piano and I let the forwards play the keys.

Why do you think Louisville City has gained such a devoted following?: I think people are catching on to how much fun the games are to attend. Soccer fans around the world are by far the most passionate sports fans. The Louisville fans are no different, and they make the games so exciting and fun.

What’s your favorite thing about Louisville itself?: I love all the restaurants here.

What’s your favorite local restaurant?: Hammerheads for sure.

Favorite bourbon?: I really haven’t tried too many – probably Woodford Reserve. But I’m not hardcore Kentucky yet. I take my bourbon with Coke or some water.

Favorite thing to do off the field?: I like to skateboard a lot. But with so much downtime I have picked up quite a few hobbies. Coaching, painting, video games, chasing girls around (haha) – really anything.

Why is it important to you to stay involved in the community?: I think when I look at how lucky I am to live this lifestyle where I play soccer for a living, it’s important to recognize that it is only possible because of the support from the community, so it is important to me to give back to them for supporting me – it’s also important to give back to people who aren’t as lucky as I am.

What nonprofits have you most enjoyed working with?: The Jimmy V Foundation is my favorite. A fan of ours got me involved last year with a bocce tournament, and the work they do is awesome.

What’s your favorite memory from your community appearances?: Last year, our team won the Jimmy V bocce tournament, and that was really fun.

How do you think Louisville City as a team has been able to affect change in the community?: I think first and foremost, we give the community something to cheer for. At the home games, it’s really incredible to see everyone coming out and having such a great time together supporting us, but I also think we do a good job of getting out into the community outside of soccer and bonding with our fans, charities and really anyone who we can positively impact.

F E AT U R E

ILIJA ILIC (NO. 14) Position: Striker Hometown: Belgrade, Serbia What are you proud to bring to the team?: Aside from soccer skills, I like to think I am a good teammate and very positive person.

Why do you think Louisville City has gained such a devoted following?: I’ve never seen a team that has better outreach to the community than Louisville City FC. The connection between players and fans is real, and people can sense that. I think that is why we have more and more people in the stands every year.

What’s your favorite thing about Louisville itself?: I really like the city because it reminds me of my hometown. Just like Louisville, Belgrade has a beautiful river – actually two rivers – and several bridges that connect old and new parts of the city. I used to go to the parks near the river, and that is something that I really enjoy doing in Louisville.

What’s your favorite restaurant?: My favorite restaurant is Sapporo. I really like sushi, and you can see me there at least once a week.

What’s your favorite bourbon?: I know this will make Kentuckians mad, but I’d rather have a Falls City beer.

Favorite thing to do off the field?: I really enjoy visiting local parks. Louisville has some of the nicest parks I’ve seen, and I’m trying to explore them all.

Why is it important to stay involved in the community?: The idea of getting the team involved as much as possible in the community was essential for our team culture. We are trying to bring the joy to the community not only on the field, but also throughout different appearances and events. Seeing the smiles on kids’ faces when they meet players outside of Slugger Field and then getting to talk to them or kick a ball with them is just remarkable.

What nonprofits have you most enjoyed working with?: We auctioned our game-worn jerseys last season to benefit Blessings in a Backpack at Engelhard Elementary. No kids in our community should go hungry, and I hope that we helped.

What’s your favorite memory of your community appearances?: One of the unforgettable memories was when we visited a local orphanage. We met the kids that had some of the saddest stories and they went through more than anyone could imagine, yet they were able to laugh and play with us. That feeling of bringing joy to them was priceless.

How do you think Louisville City as a team has been able to affect change in the community?: I would like to think that we are helping to get more kids involved in playing sports. When I was a kid, sports were the only fun we had. I feel nowadays kids have so many different options and not enough of them play sports. This is my third season with the team, and I’m happy to see more and more kids at our games every year. That’s something that this team is striving for, and we should all be proud of it.

TAREK MORAD (NO. 6) Position: Defender Hometown: Chino Hills, California What are you proud to bring to the team?: I’m an intelligent defender that plays with passion and hard work.

Why do you think Louisville City has gained such a devoted following?: The product that we’ve put out on the field since I’ve been here is really exciting and entertaining as is the overall atmosphere that our supporter groups help provide during games.

What’s your favorite thing about Louisville itself?: I’ve enjoyed trying all different kinds of great restaurants the city has to offer.

What’s your favorite local restaurant?: El Taco Luchador.

Favorite thing to do off the field?: If I’m being honest, sleeping and eating are my favorite things to do off the field. But I also enjoy just listening to music and watching some good movies and TV shows.

Why is it important to you to stay involved in the community?: It’s important to give back to the community that supports you, so getting involved in events around the city plays a big part in the team’s culture and success.

What nonprofits have you most enjoyed working with?: I’m currently working with a campaign called Playing for Pride, which raises money for the Human Rights Campaign to bring awareness for LGBTQ rights and equality through soccer.

What’s your favorite memory from your community appearances?: Visiting Norton Children’s Hospital last year and meeting so many amazing kids fighting cancer and being able to put a smile on their faces was really an incredibly fulfilling experience.

How do you think Louisville City as a team has been able to affect change in the community?: I believe the team has made a very positive impact on the community by bringing a pro sports team for the city to rally behind. The team provides a new and unique experience that is different from the other more popular sports in this region.

GREG RANJITSINGH (NO. 1) Position: Goalkeeper Hometown: Toronto, Canada What are you proud to bring to the team?: Mario Kart and decent banter.

Why do you think Louisville City has gained such a devoted following?: Louisville has had a great following for soccer even before the team arrived back in 2015. Ever since the inaugural season, the club has developed a great culture on the pitch and within the community that people really enjoy and respect.

What’s your favorite thing about Louisville itself?: Game days. The support this city gives us is incredible – no greater feeling What’s your favorite local restaurant?: El Barrio. I encourage everyone in the city to go there at least twice a week.

Favorite bourbon?: This is my third year in Louisville and I still haven’t tried bourbon.

Favorite thing to do off the field?: Eat at local restaurants.

Why is it important to you to stay involved in the community?: It’s always great knowing that you can be involved in something that benefits the community, especially being part of Louisville City. A lot of people in the community look up to us, and I feel it’s our duty to give back to this city for the support they have given us.

What nonprofits have you most enjoyed working with?: The Boys & Girls Club.

What’s your favorite memory from your community appearances?: Working with the Boys & Girls Club – having them at the training grounds one afternoon and seeing all of them enjoy the beautiful game at a clinic.

How do you think Louisville City as a team has been able to affect change in the community?: With such a big following and passionate fans, people have bought into the culture that Louisville City has created and it’s our duty to spread that sense of enjoyment not only on game day at Slugger Field but also within the community whenever we can.

BUSINESS

A Sign of Success

By Mariah Kline | Business Profile

aking a good first impression with the proper signage is vital to any business, but it takes a certain level of dedication and experience to bring that signage to life. The creative and committed team at Signarama Louisville East runs a one-stop shop for designing, purchasing and maintaining signage.

The independently owned Signarama Louisville East location opened in 2013. Owner Lloyd Graves has over 15 years of experience in signage and runs the business with his wife Wendy, who acts as the operations manager.

Their team includes graphic designers, installation and service crew members and staff for their manufacturing facility. What sets this particular location apart is the fact that they fabricate all of their signs, even large lit ones, in house.

“The in-house manufacturing makes us unique because we’re able to do more for our

J U N E 2 2 , 2 0 1 7 • V O I C E -T R I B U N E . C O M

clients,” says Wendy. “We don’t have to send their orders off to be made somewhere else, which can save them a lot of money.”

The convenience doesn’t stop with their manufacturing services. Signarama Louisville East also has a team that installs and services their signs should bad weather or other issues affect their products. Their website allows users to upload a photo or logo with the necessary specifications, or they can request a quote before placing an order. All orders, no matter how big or small, receive an artwork proof to ensure accuracy.

While a great deal of their work involves commercial and small businesses, they also assist with smaller jobs. Their team can artfully craft event banners, decorative decals for cars, small yard signs and more. The experienced designers at Signarama Louisville East can make a number of signs and products based on a client’s chosen image, but they are also trained to look for any sizing issues that could arise.

Signarama Louisville East has created the signage for a number of large jobs, including 44 Elmcroft Senior Living locations across the country and every Goodwill store in Kentucky.

They also have experience with creating custom logos and helping new businesses develop their branding.

“We really love seeing a concept come to

12

life here,” reveals Wendy. “Whether it’s an eye-catching sign that’s bringing business in or something inside that other people are able to enjoy, we get to see the fruits of our labor from beginning to end. There’s nothing like driving around the city and seeing the businesses that you’ve helped year after year.”

The crew at Signarama Louisville East not only feels passionately about their work, but they share a strong bond with one another.

Wendy says that she and her husband operate the store less like a franchise and more like a family business where the employees can feel like a tight-knit group. What is most important to the team, however, is consistently satisfying their customers.

“Their brand, their business and their budget are really what matters to us,” emphasizes Wendy. “We follow the client’s theme and ensure the fonts, colors and styles we use are accurate to their brand, and we try to save them as much money as possible so they can grow their business.” VT Signarama Louisville East 9823 Bluegrass Pkwy signslouisville.com 502.454.4321 PHOTO BY MARIAH KLINE

2017 MAN & WOMAN OF THE YEAR CANDIDATES RAISE OVER $150,000 FOR THE LEUKEMIA & LYMPHOMA SOCIETY’S KENTUCKY & SOUTHERN INDIANA CHAPTER The 2017 Man & Woman of the Year Campaign has concluded and twelve candidates raised over $150,000 in just ten weeks for the fight against blood cancer. These dynamic individuals, hailing from throughout Kentucky and Southern Indiana, utilized their networks to raise funds in honor of the Boy & Girl of the Year, Matthew Walker & Eleanor Massa-McKinley, young blood cancer survivors. Jack Givens, former UK basketball player, served as Honorary Chair for this Campaign in honor of his late friend, Charles Hurt, who passed away in September 2016 from leukemia.

The 2017 Woman of the Year is Barb Bresnahan of Mary Hatfield Oliva Tax Service, raising over $33,000 and the 2017 Man of the Year with Jackson Technologies, LLC is Jeff Peterman raising over $21,000. Barb and Jeff were announced as the winners during the Grand Finale Gala on June 10, 2017 at The Olmsted. Tony Simms, the 2016 Man of the Year presented Barb with her award and Jack Givens presented Jeff with his award as Pam Sanders, our 2016 Woman of the Year was unable to attend.

Alex Martindale with the National Association of Home Builders, was awarded the Drew Martin Champion of Hope Award for her tremendous spirit and enthusiasm throughout her campaign. This award is named after our 2011 Man of the Year, Drew Martin, who passed away from leukemia in 2013.

Drew raised over $60,000 during his campaign and will always be an inspiration to this campaign.

MAYOR FISCHER TO DISCUSS PUBLIC SAFETY, CRIME, COMMUNITY INVOLVEMENT DURING I AM ALI FESTIVAL The Muhammad Ali Center recently announced that Mayor Greg Fischer will deliver a major keynote address on Thursday, July 6, as part of the Center’s inaugural “I Am Ali” Festival.

During the event, to be held from 6-8 p.m. at the Ali Center, the Mayor will reflect on Ali’s legacy of peace and its impact on the world and his hometown. In the week between Ali’s death on June 3 and his burial a week later, there were no murders in Louisville, despite a trend of rising homicides in our city and nation. The Mayor will talk about what that says about Ali, and what it can mean for the city he so loved.

The Mayor will address the significant challenges related to violence that the city is experiencing, including the historic injustice of racism that created concentrated neighborhoods of poverty, where some people see no hope and no future, and decades of disinvestment that have helped create conditions that foster violence.

He will outline the many specific violence prevention efforts that the city and its partners are working on, and he will ask the community for input on what additional steps Louisville Metro Government and its citizens should take.

The Mayor also will ask those in attendance to share what they are doing to #BeThe1 to make a difference – and to reflect on what more they can do, as individuals and in coordination with their neighbors, their churches, schools and businesses.

“It’s important to understand that one person alone cannot change -- or be blamed for -- the terrible violence we are experiencing in our community,” the Mayor said. “On July 6, I want to discuss our challenges head on, and talk about the role that each of us – all of us – has to play in putting our city on the path to the kind of peace we saw last June.”

The Mayor’s address will be the first of an annual reflection on Ali’s legacy, as part of the new “I Am Ali” Festival.

Donald Lassere, president and CEO of the Muhammad Ali Center, said, “The purpose of the I Am Ali Festival is to continue to raise awareness of Muhammad Ali’s legacy of

peace and compassion that was clearly demonstrated during his memorial week last year. Using Ali’s six core principles of Confidence, Conviction, Dedication, Respect, Giving, and Spirituality as inspiration and catalysts for positive change, we seek to ignite a feeling of peace and unity in our community because we believe there is Ali in All of Us.” The event is open to the public, but seating is limited to the first 400 people.

MORE THAN $82 MILLION AWARDED FOR ARTS PROJECTS NATIONWIDE, INCLUDES $10,000 AWARDED TO LVA National Endowment for the Arts Chairman Jane Chu has approved more than $82 million to fund local arts projects across the country in the NEA’s second major funding announcement for fiscal year 2017. Included in this announcement is an Art Works award of $10,000 to Louisville Visual Art for the Children’s Fine Art Classes program. The NEA received 1,728 Art Works applications and will make 1,029 grants ranging from $10,000 to $100,000.

“The arts reflect the vision, energy, and talent of America’s artists and arts organizations,” said NEA Chairman Jane Chu. “The National Endowment for the Arts is proud to support organizations such as Louisville Visual Art in serving their communities by providing excellent and accessible arts experiences.”

The Children’s Fine Art Classes program engages and inspires the next generation of creative leaders by providing intensive, in-depth art experiences to visually talented and motivated elementary and middle school students. Since 1925, the program has offered concentrated studies in two-dimensional art that include studio practices in drawing, painting, and mixed media; art history; critiquing skills; and aesthetics.

Each student is provided a $350 scholarship to attend so that economic status will play no part in a child’s participation or placement. A supply fee is paid by those who are financially able to support the program.

A NEW SERIES OF BILLBOARDS IN LOUISVILLE’S SMOKETOWN NEIGHBORHOOD HIGHLIGHT FOOD JUSTICE AS PART OF IDEAS XLAB’S PROJECT HEAL (HEALTH. EQUITY. ART. LEARNING.).

Building on the momentum of Project HEAL’s One Poem At A Time, which launched April 1, 2017 with a series of billboards lifting up the voices of community members in Smoketown, a second round of billboards will be on display for two months starting the week of June 19, 2017.

Created through a partnership between IDEAS xLab and the Louisville Metro Department for Public Health and Wellness Diabetes Prevention Program, the new series of billboards highlights food justice, culinary heritage and planting seeds early to cultivate a healthy generation.

“For this series of billboards, I photographed community members who live, work, learn and play in Smoketown,” said IDEAS xLab co-founder and artist Josh Miller. “We wanted to highlight the positive benefits of eating together, urban farming and healthy activities. Rather than showcasing the negative aspects of living in a food desert, we’re spotlighting the ways that community members are combating negative health like growing their own produce in the backyard and eating meals together.”

“Too often health messaging is all about what you shouldn’t do,“ said Dr. Sarah Moyer, medical director for the Louisville Metro Department of Public Health and Wellness. “We are excited to partner with IDEAS xLab on this project because they have put a beautiful and positive spin on the healthy actions necessary to prevent chronic diseases like diabetes.”

The series of seven billboards are being launched in conjunction with Project HEAL’s Summer of Justice program, which is being offered every Tuesday and Thursday in Smoketown for middle and high-school students. The Summer of Justice was developed by artist Hannah Drake of IDEAS xLab, and will be led by the Project HEAL Community Health Champion, ShawnNika Queen.

“Summer of Justice is a program that all around focuses on justice using the five senses,” said Queen. “The hope is to educate, strengthen and empower young people to acknowledge and voice issues they face today and create change for their future.”

Frazier, George Wode

George Wode Frazier, 47, died on Saturday, June 17, 2017 at Norton Suburban Hospital, with his family and friends by his side.

He was born on May 19, 1970 in Louisville and graduated from Walden School in 1988. He enrolled at Bellarmine University before deciding to pursue his passion of racing cars, and for the next eight years, he spent time throughout North America and Europe participating in the Formula 2000 Championship Series.

14

Described by many as simply being a “big kid at heart,” George managed to pack more into the 47 years of his life than most people do in multiple lifetimes. He had a lifetime love of sports cars, boats, fishing, soccer and University of Louisville Athletics, and for the past 20 years, he divided his time between Louisville, Fort Lauderdale and the Bahamas, where he was able to spend time on his boat and with friends. He was also an investor in the Louisville City FC, and a former owner of Novus Ordo Vineyards in Argentina.

George was preceded in death by his father, Harry Stucky Frazier, Jr.; and his grandparents, Louise Streible Wode and George Fred Wode; and Amelia Brown Frazier and Dr. Harry Stucky Frazier, Sr. He is survived by his mother, Jean; his girlfriend, Natalie Dorazio, of Philadelphia; his sisters, Sandra Frazier and Virginia Frazier (Rachael Hicks); two nieces, Eliza Louise Frazier and Alexandra Noelle Frazier; and one nephew, Jayden Lucas Frazier; longtime family friends, Leanna Weaver and Dorothy Coleman; and his dog, Bailey.

The family wishes to thank Dr. John Varga, Dr. Mark Wheeler, and Dr. John Ellis, as well as the physicians and nurses in the Intensive Care Unit, as well as the nurses on the fifth floor at Norton Suburban Hospital, for their care of George. Additionally the family wishes to thank the countless friends and family who provided so much companionship, love and support to George over the last three weeks while he was in the hospital.

Visitation was from 3 - 7 p.m.

Tuesday, June 20 at Pearson’s Funeral Home, 149 Breckinridge Lane. Burial will be private.

Expressions of sympathy may be made to the Louisville Zoo Foundation, 1100 Trevilian Way, Louisville, Kentucky, 40213; or to the Kentucky Humane Society, 1000 Lyndon Lane, Suite B, Louisville, Kentucky 40222

Everything Hurts

16 and 17-year-old kids who trusted an adult to take care of them away from home and were instead handed condoms and led to rooms with naked women make your stomach churn.

Even with that being the case, the NCAA is churning through uncharted waters here. As Jay Bilas said on radio and televiMIKE When the NCAA’s full rulRUTHERFORD sion last week, “I haven’t read ing on the now 20-month-old @cardchronicle the NCAA’s bylaws of ‘repugordeal was released last week, nant.’” There is no precedent no one was surprised to see that for dealing with these types of the program had been placed on four-years impermissible benefits, for trying to reguprobation. The additional scholarship hits late morality, only precedent for impermiswere equally expected, the five-game sussible benefits that can be ascribed a specific pension of Rick Pitino was acceptable, and the lack of an additional postseason ban for monetary value.

Given that, it’s understandable why Loufuture years was an anticipated relief. isville would choose the defense route it Then, hidden in the middle of the ruling did. The issue here is that sex was involved, like a depressing “Game of Thrones” plot and sex, regardless of what the issue twist, came the line: at-hand is, changes everything. The mem“A vacation of basketball records in bers of the NCAA handling this case quite which student-athletes competed while obviously saw the acts as highly immoral, ineligible from December 2010 [to] July and therefore viewed the UofL defense as 2014.

It’s a precedent that, at least for the time NCAA a la Penn State, the Cardinals’ 2013 being, has resulted in the ultimate embarnational championship will be the first rassment for Louisville basketball. vacated title in the history of men’s college Before any of this was even a twinkle in basketball.

two years telling themselves could never be brought to the table.

The reason for the confidence was precedence. The money exchanged in this case was deemed to be no more than $10,000.

For comparison’s sake, Syracuse was punished for benefits to a single player that exceeded $10,000, and there have been multiple NCAA cases over the past decade that have involved six figures worth of impermissible benefits. UofL, understandably, was quick to point all this out in its defense. The NCAA almost seemed offended.

The NCAA’s decision is littered with wording that conveys the infractions committee’s belief that the “repugnant” nature of the acts committed makes it pointless to compare this case to previous cases. Reading through the decision, it’s not difficult to see their point. The stories of confused

firmly on the “vacating is the stupidest penalty ever – those games still happened, yes, even the Calipari ones” bandwagon.

The majority of the outside world that has reacted to last week’s ruling has seemed to agree.

Louisville’s 2013 NCAA tournament games happened. We saw them. We heard or felt the Georgia Dome explode on Montrezl Harrell’s go-ahead dunk, and we’ve seen the “One Shining Moment” montage more than any of us would care to admit.

Removing UofL’s name from a few record books and forcing the workers at the KFC Yum! Center to haul down a piece of cloth won’t change any of that.

Still, the 2012-13 Louisville Cardinals becoming the first college basketball team in history to vacate a national championship would be a big deal for all those who wear the red and black simply because everyone who follows sports would make it impossible for it to be anything else. Being the first to be cast in such a dubious light would be a stain and an annoyance that would be impossible to shake.

Aside from the emotions and feelings of those directly involved with winning the title who had nothing to do with any wrongdoing here (an aspect of all this that’s being too casually swept aside by everyone), that stain and that annoyance are why the banner matters. It wouldn’t take away the memories and I don’t think it would have a major impact on the future, but there’s no question that it would still hurt.

For the time being, everything hurts. VT

bumped Killeya-Jones’ fist. And then they all started giggling like 17-year-olds do.

To me, it was a good sign that this would be one of the better freshman groups. And it was.

Maybe like Quade Green, PJ Washington, Jarred Vanderbilt and Nick Richards baking BBN cookies for Kevin Knox at the McDonald’s All-American event in Chicago last March.

Knox insisted that he didn’t eat the blue cookies, but eventually he did drink the Blue Kool-Aid. That will be a great story to tell if this upcoming Kentucky team does well. And it will be a story with an endless social media life if Kentucky wins the whole thing.

Similarly, Monk calling out his old teammate during one of those countless “how’d it go?”

SPORTS

The Monk and the Fox interview sessions suggests a closeness and a mutual respect that can build over the six or seven months they’re together.

Or it’s an immediate combustion after just one “how ya doin?” at the first practice.

You think they’re all in this for just one thing, counting NBA dollars every time a shot goes in, scanning the stands for pro scouts, going onto social media to see what the world said about them following a win at Florida.

Clearly they’re not. The mutual respect leads to wanting to help the group excel.

As Cal doesn’t need to say anymore, this is his youngest team ever. Watch to see if these guards click as seamlessly as Monk and Fox did a year ago.

That will tell the story. VT

You will see a gradual improvement throughout our training sessions, but the true success lies in your ability to soak up the knowledge and make it a part of your daily routine.”

The training will last for six weeks and is open to everyone. Although it’s an addition for kids who play AAU basketball or summer league for their high school, it is also for men, women and children who want a good workout. So whether it’s getting in shape or becoming the Most Valuable Player in the church league, Williams says he seeks to meet every need.

During his time at Doss, he says there were key fundamental skills lacking in this current generation of high school athletes. Therefore, he has put together various packages that improve one’s skill with layups, ball handling and form shooting coupled with a shooter’s package, defense and footwork, and conditioning.

He has had ongoing conversations with Metro Parks, specifically the Southwick Community Center, to have a camp finale that will wrap up the skills and development training.

It’s all in preparation as Williams packs his bags to say not goodbye but a see you later to his hometown of Louisville. He will be relocating to Georgia, where he will be working with Action Sports Academy to house kids that come in from Spain, Eastern Europe and various parts of the U.S. “I’ll go and live in a house with the kids and be their coach and also help run the academy as we plan to expand to more boy teams. We will add a girls team this year, and eventually we will move to soccer and also expand to Florida and possibly even Louisville if there’s a market for it.”

In the meantime, kids will live by his motto: “Be the first in the gym and the last to leave,” and be immersed in the wisdom Williams exudes in what he calls, “giving back what I’ve learned over the years from my experiences through the sport of basketball.” VT

‘The Power of One’ Fundraiser

Louisville’s hometown heroine is coming home on July 14 for a special fundraiser at the Frazier History Museum. The Power of One is a fundraiser that benefits the Jennifer Lawrence Foundation and will see guests enjoy an exclusive and unforgettable experience. To learn more, we chatted with Jennifer Lawrence Foundation Executive Director Meredith Lawrence.

What is The Power of One? The Power of One is a fundraiser hosted by the Jennifer Lawrence Foundation and the Frazier Museum. All proceeds from the event will benefit the Jennifer Lawrence Foundation in its mission to promote arts awareness “…and positively impact the lives of young people, artists and the organizations that serve them.” We are celebrating “Hunger Games: The Exhibition” here in Jennifer’s hometown! Like Katniss Everdeen in the movies, one person can make incredible change! It’s an important message not only for young people but everyone: One person can make a difference.

What can guests expect at the event?

The event will start with a cocktail party and local musical entertainment, followed by private tours of “The Hunger Games: The Exhibition.” We are working with five local chefs: Dean Corbett, Anoosh Shariat, Kathy Cary and Daniel Stage, and Finbar Kinsella to create unique courses and pairings with our partner, Michter’s. The evening will be a oneof-a-kind experience.

Why is the event important for the Jennifer Lawrence Foundation and the greater community?

The Jennifer Lawrence Foundation believes strongly in empowering charitable organizations that fulfill children’s vital needs and drive arts awareness and participation. With Louisville being Jennifer’s hometown, she feels strongly about giving back and making an impact here. This is the first time she has had the opportunity to come back and celebrate. It is important to her and the incredible impact her foundation is making.

How did this specific event come about?

Louisville and the Frazier Museum were lucky enough to be the fourth city in the world to host “The Hunger Games: The Exhibition.”

The Foundation partnered with the exhibition, and a portion of every ticket to the exhibition

J U N E 2 2 , 2 0 1 7 • V O I C E -T R I B U N E . C O M

goes to the Jennifer Lawrence Foundation.

Jennifer was excited about the exhibition being in her hometown and she wanted to create an event to celebrate it as well as be able to raise funds for the foundation. So with that, The Power of One was born.

Do you hope to make this an annual event?

Given this event is in conjunction with the Hunger Games exhibit, we won’t be having it annually; however, we will be continuing through other events our fundraising efforts.

Why does Jennifer see this as an important event for her hometown?

Jennifer is proud to celebrate Louisville, and with the Hunger Games exhibition here, it makes great sense to raise awareness of her foundation’s work.

Meredith Lawrence, executive director for the Jennifer Lawrence Foundation

NOVA Salon Named Finalist in 2017 North American Hairstyling Awards

By Tonya Abeln | Beauty

I

t’s been quite a year for Louisville’s NOVA Salon located at 2346 Frankfort Ave. In January, NOVA was unveiled in a completely transformed space, previously known as Hair by Bennie and Friends, located in a beautifully restored series of houses in the historic Clifton neighborhood. At that time, CEO Bennie Pollard joined forces with business partner Lindsay Reeves, who became NOVA’s managing partner as well as lead designer.

The innovative combination built upon the existing success of the previous concept and quickly established NOVA Salon as a force in the local beauty industry – a force based on a passion for education.

“A learning culture facilitates growth,” Pollard says. “I am committed to learning and to positively impacting the beauty industry through the personal growth of NOVA Salon’s team. Our team members begin as students

J U N E 2 2 , 2 0 1 7 • V O I C E -T R I B U N E . C O M

and achieve great success as lifelong learners.”

The fresh space, illuminated by natural light and punctuated with modern design elements, instantly commanded the attention of the local community and, apparently, people took notice at the national level as well. Now, merely six months after their grand reveal, NOVA is again making headlines as one of only five finalists in the “Salon Design of the Year” competition of the North American Hairstyling Awards (NAHA), the only Kentucky salon named in that category.

Both Pollard and Reeves say they are thrilled to be recognized among hundreds of entries submitted this year to the Professional Beauty Association (PBA), which owns NAHA. Pollard is no stranger to NAHA as a previous two-time award recipient himself. In addition to his continued involvement with NOVA Salon, the entrepreneur has also developed his own hair care product lines for men and women. The distinguished awards are open to salons and stylists across the United States, Mexico and Canada and include beyond salon design, recognition for Avant Garde and Editorial hair designs as well as a Master Hairstylist recognition.

The final winner, determined by a panel of judges, will be announced in a lavish awards ceremony held in Las Vegas, Nevada, on July 9. However, there is a way for locals to play a part in this exciting recognition. In addition

42

to the judges’ awards, NAHA also includes a “People’s Choice Award.” You can vote for NOVA Salon in the “People’s Choice Award” at probeauty.org/votenaha.

Pollard and Reeves have developed a highly trained team of professionals dedicated to your personal experience, an experience that they believe begins the moment you contact them and extends through the minute you walk out the door with added confidence. The ambiance and environment of a salon is a part of that experience, and the re-branding and redesign of NOVA Salon has achieved recognizable results.

Bravazzi Is Your New Poolside Delight

By Minda Honey | Out & About

B

ravazzi is here just in time for summer. The name – a mashup of the Italian word for good, brava, and fizzy – is apt for a drink that tastes like summer and feels like revelry on the tongue. What separates this hard soda from all the rest? It’s malt-free so you won’t be left with that heavy, too sweet feeling after a few sips.

Bravazzi uses an innovative new cane sugar alcohol base, which means this party-in-acan is free of gluten and high fructose corn syrup. VP of Marketing and Innovation Sara Ross says Bravazzi is answering the “demand for better-tasting, better-for-you alcohol beverage options.” I’m definitely a part of the crowd that’s been making demands for better options. As I’ve gotten older and my palate has become more discerning, I’ve not had much success with other hard sodas. Bravazzi

has filled that void.

This first-ever hard Italian soda was made possible by Vivify Beverages, which describes itself as a “forward-thinking alcohol beverage company established in 2015 by a team of women whose mission is to introduce new-tothe-world brands that are unique, high-quality and, most importantly, delicious.” Well, they’ve certainly hit the mark here in Louisville. Everyone at their May launch event couldn’t stop commenting on how refreshing the drink is.

I also took several cans over to a nearby networking event to the delight of its attendees.

The launch event was held at Bourbon Barrel Foods in Butchertown to welcome the Memphis-brewed beverage to Louisville. I told Ross I could hardly believe there was any alcohol in Bravazzi. Each can is 4.2 percent alcohol by volume and has that familiar taste of a premium sparkling Italian soda.

Currently, there are three flavors: Limonata, Grapefruit and Blood Orange. While I immediately fell for the Blood Orange, my plus one was all about the Grapefruit.

We were treated to a private cooking class

by Fresh Chef Experience. I was put on the calamari station and I was sure to taste

several pieces, you know, for quality control. Attendees formed new friendships over good food and good drinks. Ross suggested that Bravazzi makes for a yummy alternative to champagne in your mimosas and I could immediately imagine adding it to my brunch lineup – it doesn’t hurt that the ribbon-wrapped white cans make for super fun Instagram pics. I could also see Bravazzi adding a little fizz to your favorite punch or playing nicely in a shrub cocktail. The Limonata flavor is begging to be mixed with a sprig of mint and a generous pour of sweet tea for an all-grown up twist on an Arnold Palmer.

Right now, Bravazzi is only available in Louisville and Nashville. But your friends around the country won’t have to be jealous for long; there are plans to introduce it to other markets later this year. I was told you can find it on the shelves at the usual places around town like Liquor Barn and Total Wine – $9.99 for a six-pack. You can follow Bravazzi on Instagram and Twitter at @drinkbravazzi, and check the hashtags #drinkbravazzi, #bravazzi and #livingladolcevita, if you want to see how everyone else is enjoying their Bravazzi.

Pizza by the Park

he Parlour is serving up pizza hot and fresh in Jeffersonville, Indiana, brought to you by the same group behind Portage House. The pizzeria sits at the foot of the Big Four Bridge in the historic Duffy-Hancock House. When you head upstairs, be sure to look up so you don’t miss the Great Flood of 1937 water-height marker. And you’ll definitely want to head upstairs, take a look out the windows and grab a cocktail designed by Beverage Director Adam Sabine at their copper-top bar. Many of the cocktails also feature Parlour’s house-made soda.

But what about the pizza? Their New York-style pizzas are fired up in an 8,000-pound oven imported straight from Italy. Kitchen Manager Brian Stone says a wall had to be removed to get the oven in the restaurant. Pick from 10 different types of pizza and a selection of salads – choose-your-own toppings is an option as well. I was a big fan of the Big Four meat special – pepperoni, sausage, bacon and ham. For something truly different, try the Broccoli Cheddar featuring diced chicken, broccoli, bacon and cheddar. If you still have room after salad and pizza, Parlour has partnered with nearby Sweets by Morgan to offer an array of desserts. The night I went, two bites of a mini strawberry cheesecake more than satisfied my sweet tooth.

Wander outside to the lawn and find bright red Adirondack chairs scattered around a fire pit, wooden benches, outdoor sofas, string lights and picnic benches. The renovated carriage house and beer garden are the domain of Windy Wonder, whose past includes time spent at Sergio’s World Beers and Heidelberg Distributing. Looking over her 42-tap selection, you’ll see a heavy focus on Indiana and Kentucky brews but plenty of saisons and sours too. And yes, you can get a slice to go with your pint in the carriage house.

Also, they’re giving you an opportunity to unwind by the river every Sunday with Weekly Beer Yoga at 9 a.m. led by Parlour’s aforementioned beer guru and certified yoga instructor Windy Wonder.

Focal Points and Functionality

By Sara Giza | Prestigious Properties

F

or Ryan and Frankie Adams, this 1937-built home had all of the potential to be their forever home base in Louisville – the perfect place for the kids to come back to for many years to come. As a longtime friend and client of Details, Frankie Adams knew just who to count on to make their design dreams a reality.

Having attended design school in Cincinnati, Christa Rose has been a designer at Details for five years. Designer Jacqueline Buckler’s mother grew up surrounded by interior design and is the owner of Details. She assisted remotely from Nashville until she relocated back to Louisville and was able to jump in for the final stages of the home design. Together, the team worked to make the family’s wishes come true.

“This has been my favorite home in Louisville since I first saw it from the outside,” affirms Adams. “So when we decided to start looking for a larger house and this was on the market, it just felt like kismet.”

Just under 5,000-square-feet, the home has four bedrooms and three-and-a-half bathrooms.

With a lovely Georgian façade, the home was built for comfortable living with an interior that flows well. The spaces are filled with French doors and rows of windows that all allow for resplendent light and plentiful views of the outdoors.

LIFE

Unique to the home are multiple and functional outdoor living spaces. “The front patio and balcony add to the appearance of the home,” describes designer Jacqueline Buckler. “The side and back patios built of stone perfectly complement the exterior of the home while allowing for fabulous entertaining throughout.”

According to Buckler, the homeowners love the sunken living room and dining room: “The dining area features a built-in bar where we wallpapered the alcove and ceiling to make it the focal point of the space. The family entertains often, so this has become a gathering place for all.”

The overall design aesthetic of the home is classic and calming, with a touch of whimsy. Adams loves a cream, tan and black palette. “This would normally be a bit frightening for a parent,” Buckler admits. Yet, by looking at details such as fiber content and durability,

they were able to make it work. They kept the home livable and sophisticated at the same time by adding brass touches throughout, featuring gorgeous window treatments and utilizing the best fabrics and trims to bring pieces to perfection.

Chinoiserie vases and jars are some of the subtle focal points. Grass cloth wallpaper was used throughout. Orange calf hair bar accessories add a pop of color. The designers also utilized cowhide and occasional animal print, both for added color and points of interest, and Adams couldn’t be more pleased with the finished project. “Not only are they excellent designers but they have a special talent for finding those unique pieces that really make the house come together in the most beautiful and perfect way,” she says of their collaboration.

“As a design firm, our goal is to always create the home that the client envisioned while making it functional, practical and beautiful at the same time,” says Buckler on the team’s passion. “We had so much fun making this house their home. We could not be happier with the final results and more importantly, neither could they. At the end of the day, that’s what matters the most.” VT

His plans to skip town with the cash are foiled when he falls for Marian, the librarian, who transforms him into a respectable citizen by curtain’s fall.

Wouldn’t she want to know?

DEAR NEW LEASE: Thank you for giv— SURVIVOR IN FLORIDA

DEAR SURVIVOR: Yes, you should tell his girlfriend about it! You should also tell every one of your relatives. Where were your parents when this was going on?

While it may be too late for the police to haul your brother off to prison, you should absolutely talk to a rape crisis counselor about what he did to you. To locate a resource near you, contact R.A.I.N.N. (rainn.org), the Rape, Abuse and Incest National Network. It may be able to help you put your life in order. Its toll-free phone number is 800.656.4673.

••• DEAR ABBY: Would you please remind your readers about proper service dog etiquette? My service dog has given me a new lease on life, but going out in public with him can be a huge source of anxiety.

If your readers see a service dog in public, they should remember: Don’t pet the dog, or talk to it, and don’t allow children to “rush” the dog. This distracts the service dog from its important job and could put a handler in danger.

Please don’t question whether service dogs are or should be “allowed” somewhere. Handlers need to shop, take public transport and go to restaurants just like everyone else.

Do not ask invasive personal questions about the handler’s health or abilities. I’m sure you wouldn’t want a stranger prying into your own medical history.

And please don’t gush about how “lucky” someone is to have a service dog or how you wish you could have your pet with you.

ing me the chance to remind readers about service dog etiquette. Many of us are animal lovers who have a hard time resisting the impulse to reach out when we see service dogs. It’s done with the best of intentions, while forgetting that a dog wearing a vest may be working. I say “may” because, unfortunately, service vests that allow animals to be present in markets and restaurants can be ordered online by people with no disability at all.

••• DEAR ABBY: I’ve been in an extramarital relationship for 10 years. My husband knows, and so do my close friends.

I love this man dearly, but neither of us want it to be full-time. I have children at home and don’t want to disrupt anything.

We meet once or twice a week. He touches base with me several times a day and is attentive where my husband never was.

My husband isn’t bitter about the relationship anymore. However, my two closest friends continually say, “Well, why lie to yourself? You know you just say you don’t want things full-time so you don’t drive him away,” which isn’t true. We have a great thing – we travel, we have long discussions, and I can open up to him without any repercussions, bouncing ideas and thoughts off of each other without judgment or criticism.

But I really DON’T want this to be fulltime. I enjoy it like I enjoy a good book and a glass of wine – not every day, but an indulgence and a pleasure. It also feels good to hear “I’m thinking of you” first thing every morning and the last thing every night. I am flattered.

It feels horrible that my two best friends

Girlfriend Deserves to Know about Man’s Abusive Past can’t understand that I give of myself to my community and my family and need something that is just for me. I have reached the point where I don’t want to have these discussions with my friends anymore, so I avoid them. How can I get across to them that I’m fine and happy and content?

— JUST FOR ME DEAR JUST: You say you are happy and content, and your husband is OK with the arrangement. Don’t you think it’s time you stopped trying to “sell” the concept of open marriage to your women friends? By now it should be clear that they do not understand. They probably never will. Most people don’t. Let it lie!

••• DEAR ABBY: I am a first-time mom of a toddler. I suffer from (and am being treated for) anxiety issues.

Abby, I am having trouble finding the balance on gun safety and awareness in other people’s homes – especially if my daughter will be visiting. I grew up in a household where my father hunted and had guns in the house. However, he stored them safely in a locked cabinet and was the only one with access to the key. He also stored ammunition separately.

Where do I draw the line? Do I ask everyone whose house I’ll be going to whether or not they have guns? What are the appropriate questions? Do I ask where they are stored and who has access? What else should I ask? Or should I mind my own business? I know the questions won’t be appreciated by everyone because it will seem like I am questioning their judgment.

— FIRST-TIME MOM IN NEW JERSEY DEAR FIRST-TIME MOM: If you start asking other parents whether they have guns in their homes and how they store them, your questions may be off-putting.

Because you are concerned for your child’s safety, why not offer to have the kids visit your house for playdates? I’m sure many of the parents will be glad to have some free time, and it shouldn’t offend anyone.

But his favorite thing in the world is food! He is always ready for treats and never misses a meal. This senior also still enjoys rolling over for belly rubs and getting ear rubs. Harvey hopes that someone will look past his age and realize he has just as much love to give as a puppy.

All he wants is a loving home to spend his golden years in. He is neutered, microchipped and up-to-date on vaccinations. Come meet him today at the Pewee Valley Feeders Supply, 12406 La Grange Road. For more on Harvey or any of our adoptable pets, please call 502-366-3355 or visit kyhumane.org.
