EDITOR’S NOTE

Letter Editor

FROM THE

I’ve always regarded Thanksgiving as an underdog when it comes to fourth quarter holidays. It must be difficult to compete with another holiday that steals all your tricks and then adds presents on top of it.

Thanksgiving has become little more than an opening act for most people or, worse yet, just a practice round. To add insult to injury, Black Friday has slowly started to creep in over the years to declare the territory not previously claimed by the NFL. How very American.

I’m sure I’m not alone in my confession that the older I get, the more I fully appreciate the holiday for all it is on its own and not as a precursor to the month ahead. Food, family and the needed reminder to practice gratitude. I also appreciate the reliability of the holiday.

The menu never changes in my home—the grocery list can literally be copied and pasted from year to year (and yes, it includes Stove Top) eliminating any guesswork. And how much easier does it make planning to know that this holiday will always be on a Thursday? No need to negotiate how to deal with that errant Monday holiday (I’m looking directly at you and rolling my eyes, Christmas 2017).

This week’s feature story chronicles how a few locals have taken Black Friday and incorporated it into their family traditions. Some of those traditions include friends for life in matching t-shirts and others incorporate service in the community before getting hyped up to score the best deals. A few are less concerned with the sale and more entertained by the spectacle, while others, still, regard the hectic kickoff to the shopping season as the symbol of magic for the possibilities ahead. Having worked in retail for a time myself, I will say that it is an industry that attracts specialists sometimes worthy of sainthood. While you’re in the spending spirit, don’t forget to make Small Business Saturday part of your shopping tradition and invest those dollars locally.

Whether you’re a small business owner or employed by a big box retailer, thank you for your sacrifice away from your own families this holiday to patiently help us check off our gift lists. May we approach the effort with the spirit in which the holiday was intended—kindness one to another.

oy and Gollar have essentially been friends since birth.

Their grandmothers lived across the street from each other for many years, and their aunts are best friends who spent many Black Fridays shopping together. Now, they carry on the tradition of conquering the masses and seizing the deals, all while sporting matching shirts that they custom make each year.

Other friends and family members used to join the pair in their bargain hunting. However, when stores began to open on Thanksgiving, the tradition changed, as most of the party wasn’t available to head out on Thursday night. But that didn’t stop Roy and Gollar from adapting and heading out on their own.

“We still believe it’s important to have Thanksgiving with our families, so we do the whole family dinner and then meet up as soon as it’s over,” Roy relates. “By that point, we have plotted out everywhere we’re going, and we’re pretty in sync with each other – I think because we’ve been friends for so long!”

The ladies meet up around 6 p.m. with their matching shirts and already will have the whole night planned. They usually start at Target before heading out to The Outlet Shoppes of the Bluegrass, and they never miss a second of shopping. “As one of us is driving to the next destination, the other is in the passenger seat doing online shopping,” Roy says. “We always have our list of what we can get online and what we have to get in the stores and we just use teamwork to make it all happen!”

They finish with a big breakfast and are home by 6 a.m. Friday morning, ready to get up with the kids. By that point, they’ve both knocked out a substantial amount of their Christmas shopping, but Roy admits they often head back out sometime during the day on Friday.

Although the tradition has changed over the years, Roy emphasizes that the new one works better with her schedule.

She understands those who don’t support stores being open on Thanksgiving but maintains that it has come to be what she prefers. “I have mixed feelings on it,” she describes. “For me personally, it does work and it works better because my husband has to work on Friday so I get home before he has to leave, which means we don’t have to get a sitter for the kids. I do see how people are not in favor of it since it should be about family, but in our situation, it does work.”

ake no mistake, Tiffany Wright loves to shop on Black Friday. However, she and her kids, along with a nephew and niece, have created a tradition around Black Friday to balance out the consumerism: They volunteer together every Thanksgiving.

Wright doesn’t necessarily stick to the same location every year but instead does a little research prior to venturing out to see who may be in need any particular year. “We find a place that might need help and then we go in and just do what we can do for the day,” she says. “And then that evening, we end up watching movies and then we get up early and have our route planned of the places we want to go to shop. We drink Red Bull and then get breakfast after a couple of stores. It’s a lot of fun.”

The crew likes to volunteer anyway, so doing it on Thanksgiving seemed like an even greater way to give back.

Their family meal is usually more of a lunch, so they’re all free by the mid-afternoon, allowing plenty of hours to help those in need.

Since Wright’s routine is well established and has generosity and thankfulness at its core, the family has decided to stick with shopping on Friday only – not Thursday as well.

“We haven’t done the Thursday night shopping just because I feel like that’s really impeding on being thankful,” Wright asserts. “We just get up early the next day and go.”

Wright maintains that the volunteering doesn’t only do good for the community but is also a wonderful way for her and her family to connect with one another and really engage with the meaning of the season, which is only another reason why she and the gang have opted out of Thursday night shopping. “We are now 24/7 connected with internet retailers,” she says, “and I think it’s nice for all of us to just pause a few times a year and appreciate family.”

hile the shopping aspect of Black Friday is of course important to Mike Tomes and his husband, Sheldon Burton Tomes, the couple usually ventures out on Black Friday for the people-watching aspect of the “holiday” while also picking up a few things for their home.

The pair will spend four to five hours in the madness, but they put their own special twists on it to make it fun as opposed to chaotic. “We stock up on our Starbucks and get a caffeine high and jump around from place to place just to see how crazy and hectic it is,” Tomes describes. “And then we end it with a really big, hearty lunch, normally at some random place like Denny’s or IHOP.” Though Tomes and his husband used to go on Friday, with stores now opening on Thanksgiving night, they’re making it more of a Black Thursday tradition, which Tomes, who works part time at Express at Mall St. Matthews (in addition to his careers in banking and event promotion), is just fine with. “We have gone on Thursday before, and it honestly doesn’t bother me personally because a lot of our family does Thanksgiving now on different days other than Thanksgiving itself,” he says. “And in speaking with a lot of other people in retail, I haven’t heard too many complaints about being open on Thursday.”

Indeed, Tomes says that several folks in retail in fact enjoy working on the night of the holiday as opposed to the next morning. “Just speaking with different coworkers of mine and other people who work in the mall – a lot of them don’t mind it because they are making a little bit of extra money and they’re able to navigate their family Thanksgivings so that they’re able to go to work. At first, I hated stores opening on Thursday and was totally against it, but getting perspective from people who actually worked it, I learned to be okay with it.”

On whichever day the shopping takes place, however, Tomes says it’s more about the spectacle than the swag, as emphasized by a certain experience at Walmart: “One time there was a really limited quantity of these nice sheets, and they were in one of those metal bins at Walmart where you can only grab from the bottom and as you take one out, the supply falls down. Well, I’ve seen people jump over into the bin to grab sheets out of it just so they could get as many as they can – they literally got into the cage! And that’s been the craziest thing I’ve ever seen.”

yStylist is Macy’s free personal shopping service, and as a MyStylist herself, Terri Cardwell knows a thing or two about Black Friday.

“This will be my sixth Black Friday with Macy’s!” Cardwell enthuses. “This day is one that makes you truly feel like the holidays are here and the magic of the season begins. The store is festive, decorated abundantly for the holidays and packed with everyone in great spirits looking to find the perfect gift for their loved ones.”

Macy’s, of course, is one of the brands most associated with the season of shopping, and Black Friday really begins the store’s prime time of year. Cardwell looks forward to the annual occasion that signifies the beginning of the holidays, and as she’s on the other side of the doors, she can actually pinpoint the exact moment that holiday shopping begins.

“It’s the sense of anticipation and excitement exuding from our customers on Black Friday,” she says. “The moment I pull up to the store, I see hundreds of customers waiting outside

in the minutes right before the doors open.

The store is staged much like a large Broadway production – it’s quiet, everyone is in place and then the show starts! For 36 hours, we’re open, and I am always amazed at the production and effort behind one of the most exciting days of the year.”

As far as Macy’s opening on Thursday night, Cardwell doesn’t particularly mind, as “The Magic of Macy’s” is all about putting the customer first. “We’re here when our customers want to shop!” she maintains “You can only eat so much, so why not go out and have fun with your family.”

Cardwell is eagerly anticipating this year’s festivities at Macy’s and watching as loved ones share in the shopping experience, which, in its own way, has become her sort of tradition for this time of year. “It’s become part of the celebration and a holiday tradition!” she affirms. “It kicks off the season of giving and everyone is out looking to find the perfect gift for their loved ones. The perfect gift brings everyone together!” VT 1 1 . 2 3 . 2 0 1 7 V O I C E -T R I B U N E . C O M

excited to share the spirit of Chanukah with Louisville Public Media’s listeners.

This year’s program will focus on the music of Chanukah. Last year, we spent a large amount of time telling the story of Chanukah and while there will be some of that, this year’s program will tell the story through music. We will have more musicians, more songs and have expanded the scope of the songs themselves, from traditional to modern and from popular to obscure.

In addition to John Gage, we’ll be joined this year by musicians Jennifer Diamond and Brigid Kaelin, Cantor David Lipp and Cantor Sharon Hordes as well as The Jewish Community Choir, The Temple Choir, Children’s Choir, St. Francis of Assisi Holocaust education students and many of our community Rabbis.

F

or a number of years, The J has hosted an annual Chanukah party to share the beauty of the holiday with people of all faiths. This year, they’re continuing the tradition with a few changes in store by hosting the Kentucky Homefront Chanukah Party on December 10. To learn more about this festive and significant event, we spoke with Matthew L. Goldberg, Director of Community Relations for The J/Jewish Federation of Louisville.

What is the Kentucky Homefront Chanukah Party and why is it important for the community at large?

The Kentucky Homefront Chanukah Party is a celebration of everything that people love about this wonderful holiday. There will be traditional Jewish food, dreidels, chocolate coins, candle lighting, storytelling and music. Chanukah is a time to celebrate religious freedom and religious diversity, and it is a holiday that can be fully enjoyed by all. You do not have to be Jewish to celebrate Chanukah.

What can guests expect at the event?

Guests can expect a lot of great music from local artists and Jewish religious leaders.

Trinity, St. X, Central and CAL Inching Closer to State Championship

he Thanksgiving holiday is upon us.

While many will gather with family and friends to experience love, fellowship and thankfulness, it wouldn’t be tradition if we didn’t have some football. The NFL takes precedence on Thanksgiving Day, but on Black Friday, high school football steals the show. The semi-final rounds of the playoffs are here, and Trinity, St. X, Central and Christian Academy-Louisville are all pursuing the chance to get to the state championship game.

CLASS 6A The Trinity Shamrocks (13-0) have not lost a game in two years. The defending state champs have won 28-straight games and recently annihilated Simon Kenton. Their next game will be away at Central Hardin (10-3) at 7:30 p.m. At this point, no team has been able to slow down Trinity and it appears as though the 2017 state title may already have their name on it.

However, they may get a rematch game against their rival St. X (11-2). The Tigers beat Butler 45-18 last week to advance to the semi-finals. Their next opponent will be Scott County (11-2). Both teams run the ball extremely well.

Scott County averages nearly 300 yards a game (293.8 yds) and has a dynamic duo in Austin Barnett and Brice Fryman, both of whom have rushed for over 1,000 yards on the season.

St. X will also rely on their rushing attack.

They’ve averaged 216.5 yards per game and have allowed only 15 points to their opponents per contest. The game will be at St. X at 7:30 p.m. If Trinity and St. X win, it will set up for not only a rematch between rivals, but a championship game worth all the bragging rights. I’m predicting a Shamrock and Tiger state championship game.

CLASS 3A The Central Yellowjackets (11-2) have found themselves in familiar territory once again. They are one game away from another appearance in the state championship. After showing no mercy to Pike County Central and Floyd Central, beating both teams 50-0, they had business to settle with Belfry – the team Central lost to last season in the championship. They added 10 more 1 1 . 2 3 . 2 0 1 7 V O I C E -T R I B U N E . C O M

points to their playoff average and trounced the Pirates 60-21. Their next game will be at home at 7:30 p.m. against Corbin (12-1).

It should be a thrilling game as both teams have been demolishing the competition in this year’s playoffs. The Redhounds, coached by Justin Haddix has put up 46.3 points a game in the playoffs, while giving up only 8.6 to their opponents.

For Central, they’ve embraced a new culture under head coach Marvin Dantzler, but have been able to keep the winning culture intact.

I like their chances against Corbin in a hard fought contest and think they’ll punch their ticket to the title game.

CLASS 2A Christian Academy-Louisville (11-2) is the defending state champ in Class 2A. After an upset win over DeSales (12-1), they sent the Colts home early ending their undefeated season.

Their next opponent will be away at Mayfield (12-1) at 7:30 p.m. Both teams met last season in the playoffs in a blowout win for the Centurions 48-24.

This should be an intriguing matchup.

Mayfield puts up around 226.4 yards in the air per contest. We’ll see if they can do the same against a stingy CAL defense that has only given up 48.5 yards in passing to their opponents. I think CAL pulls this one out and returns to the championship game to defend their title. VT

LeBliss offers a wide range of services, and its convenient location makes it a great place to unwind during the holiday rush.

“One service that is super cool this time of year is our hot stone massage,” says McDonald. “It comes in 60 or 90 minutes, and it’s perfect for guests who want the results of a deep tissue massage without the pressure.” For guests who prefer to erase the holiday stress, LeBliss offers a range of facials as well. “We offer a really great facial called the Age Exception facial,” McDonald says. “It’s an all-encompassing, anti-aging facial, and it utilizes biocellular technology to create firmness, diminish wrinkles and fine lines and also hydrate and brighten your skin.”

Their other services range from a simple haircut and color to more complex beauty treatments such as eyelash extensions and microblading.

More simply, LeBliss is also offering classic manicures and pedicures for your holiday party preparations. “We have four different manicures that you can choose from and three different pedicures,” McDonald explains.

“There’s an Express, a Signature and a Spa version of each, and a shellac manicure as well.” These mani-pedis vary from simple to ultra-luxurious, so clients can choose which best fits their needs.

LeBliss is also offering holiday specials to their clients. “We have our Redken and Pureology holiday packages,” McDonald says, “and with these bundles, you can save big. We also have a holiday gift card promotion that’s in-store only — if you purchase a $100 gift card in November or December, you get a $20 coupon that’s redeemable in January and February.” Their gift card could make a perfect present for someone on your list.

LeBliss also has some exciting new developments for holiday shoppers. “We have a new boutique section,” McDonald says, “with a new jewelry line in from California called Native Gem. We have chokers, necklaces, rings, bracelets and it’s all brand-new.”

TOP THINGS TO DO

AROUND TOWN

New Fall Menus

By Mariah Kline

T

he changing of the seasons means a change in offerings at a number of local restaurants. From warm soup appetizers to seasonal craft cocktails and everything in between, the 502’s most talented restaurateurs are pulling out all the stops. For this week’s Top 5, I’m outlining the best new menus to try this fall and a few things you can expect from each.

VARANESE RESTAURANT

8UP ELEVATED KITCHEN + BAR

2106 Frankfort Ave. varanese.com

350 W. Chestnut St. 8uplouisville.com

F

rom now until December 24, the Clifton favorite is offering their gourmet Turducken as a nightly special. Served with sweet potato hash, cracked pepper veloute and sauteed haricot verts, the Turducken is a partially de-boned turkey that’s stuffed with a de-boned duck which is then stuffed with a de-boned chicken. You can also order the poultry creation to-go for a holiday meal, and choose from mashed sweet potatoes, sweet potato casserole, cranberry chutney and more for your sides.

O

n a recent visit to 8UP I got to sample a little bit of everything from Chef Casper Van Drongelen’s new fall menu. The roasted winter squash soup was the perfect way to warm up on a cold night and had a delightful flavor.

I also tried the fried calamari and the fried green tomatoes, both of which were crispy and satisfying without being too greasy or heavy. The highlight of the meal, however, was the seared salmon, which was perfectly seasoned and flaky on the inside but slightly crispy on the outer edges. To pair with your meal, I recommend trying the Brass Bulleit or the Gin Snap off of their new cocktail menu.

MORELS CAFE

I

619 Baxter Ave. morelscafe.com

’m seriously intrigued by this vegan restaurant and their updated fall menu since their dishes sound like no other vegan food I’ve ever imagined. They’re known for their Farby™ (meaning “Fake Arby,” an imitation of the Arby’s beef ‘n cheddar sandwich) but I’ve also heard their Chick-faux-le meal is immensely popular.

From their appetizer menu, I’m told the kimchi + chili fries are the perfect starter to warm you up. As for the atmosphere, it’s not a very large spot so try to get there early or be prepared to wait.

CALIFORNIA PIZZA KITCHEN

QUILLS NULU

7900 Shelbyville Rd. cpk.com

O

kay, I know this isn’t a local restaurant but I couldn’t help but include them on this list after reading about the new dishes they’ve added for this season. CPK is rolling out some spicy-sounding flavors for those who like a little kick, including the chile-braised short ribs made with smoky ancho chiles served with chipotle mac ‘n cheese. For those with slightly tamer tastes, try the pan-roasted garlic chicken with seasonal vegetables, including fingerling potatoes and Mediterranean herbs.

And if you can’t resist a good seasonal cocktail, try their Sparkling Sunset Sangria or the Blackberry Bramble.

802 E. Main St. quillscoffee.com

T

he newest Quills location opened just a few months ago, and they’ve shaken things up at their newest cafe by offering hot food, beer and wine in addition to coffee. For fall they’re serving up apple crumble waffles, savory bread pudding, warm kale salad, and more. They also serve and sell bags of their Yuletide Holiday Blend and delicious pastries from Wiltshire Pantry.

A Charming Tea Experience

By Graham Pilotte

W

ith the winter cold and the rush of the holidays, many of us find ourselves needing a moment to sit back and breathe – over a cup of hot tea, perhaps. Locally-owned tea parlor The Sword and the Scone is here for just that reason.

“Tea has been a passion of mine for a really long time,” explains owner Judy Rowland.

“Whenever I would go on vacation or travel to different places, I would look for a tea room.

There weren’t really any in Louisville; you had to travel kind of far to have that experience. I had always worked in restaurants, so it was a natural progression to owning my own.”

Rowland spent a long time planning The Sword and the Scone “I worked for two years with the small business development center,” she explains. “The whole time, I was collecting all the little cups and chandeliers you’ll see here.” The tea parlor is light and inviting, decorated generously with pink, white and glitter. Throughout the bright parlor, lights hang from hand-decorated chandeliers that Rowland expertly crafted herself. “That one we completely refurbished,” she says, pointing out a nearby fixture.

In addition to being Louisville’s only true tea parlor, The Sword and The Scone is home to another unique phenomenon – blooming tea. “We have ten blooming teas,” Rowland says. “These are tea leaves wrapped around a flower. When you drop the bundle in hot water, it really blooms.” The bundle of leaves slowly unfurls in hot water to reveal its floral center, a fascinating process that guests can watch through a clear pot. The leaves are green or white tea, but flavors range from a more traditional hazelnut to an adventurous chocolate-covered cherry. “They’re handcrafted in China and then shipped over here to be flavored,” Rowland explains. “We’ll give

them to you if it’s your birthday or you’re celebrating – or you can just order them. They’re very cool.”

However, The Sword and The Scone also features a range of other delicacies, including their now-famous scones. “If you want the full tea experience, try the High Tea,” Rowland suggests. “It comes out on a three-tier stand.

There are bite-sized sweets on the top tier, two full-size scones in the middle tier and then four savories on the bottom.” High Tea is the perfect storybook tea setting, although Rowland also suggests Afternoon Tea for a slightly smaller sample. Their full menu includes soups, sandwiches and over 40 different teas – many of which are for sale in their boutique as well.

“We want people to come and enjoy lunch and catch up with their friends,” Rowland says. “We love to celebrate – bridal showers, baby showers, graduations and we can open just for them on a Sunday. We mostly see women, but the other day we had a 99-yearold gentleman come to celebrate his birthday,” she says with a smile. “He really enjoyed it.”

The Sword and the Scone is quickly becoming a community gathering spot, with after-hours classes and events. “We had a scone-making class here recently with about 25 people,” Rowland explains. “It sold out, so we opened up another one. We also have special events like a paint-and-sip, Grandparents’ Day Tea and Bible studies. When “Beauty and the Beast” came out, we had a princess tea with Belle and the Beast here in costume,” she says. “We try to plan special events for kids and adults.”

The Sword and the Scone is quickly becoming a Louisville staple. With unique blooming teas, celebrations and community events, Louisville’s true tea parlor is a muchneeded addition to the community. VT

There’s Nothing Bare Bones About ‘Skeleton Crew’

O Patrese D. McClain and Madelyn Porter.

n an unseasonably warm Friday night, I waited for the elevator to take me from the fifth floor of the parking garage down to the lobby of Actors Theatre. There was already a man waiting for the elevator who excitedly told me that his friend had done the choreography for “Skeleton Crew,” a play about Detroit plant workers set in 2008. His friend, it turns out, is movement director Safiyyah Rasool.

Rasool’s ensemble of dancers – Steffan Clark, Alaina Kai and Terrance Smith – used choreography between scenes to imitate the rhythm and flow of life in a factory and set the cultural tone of the play because Detroit is as much about cars as it is music. At a time when factories are becoming more and more automated, Rasool’s choreography is a reminder of the humanity that was once at the heart of this work.

Once the dancers clear the stage, the first scene opens with who we can only assume is Faye because she’s lighting up a cigarette while standing in front of a “NO SMOKING, FAYE” sign. Faye (Madelyn Porter) reminds me of my granny; from the smoking, the denim jeans, the respect she commands from others and the many years she spent working in the Reynolds aluminum plant before getting to retire and clean out her locker. But mostly because of the way she talks with say-

ings like, “If, if, if life were a fifth we’d all be drunk,” and, “If you’re feeling froggy, leap.”

Faye feels real in a way that if you walked into any factory break room in America, you would not be surprised to see her standing there. Her character is richly layered with slices of her past, which are shared with the audience over the course of the play in the most satisfying way.

She’s joined in the breakroom by Dez (Dexter McKinney Jr.) who is young, street smart, ambitious and Shanita (Patrese D. McClain) who is a scared, pregnant and hard-working woman. Later, foreman Reggie (Anton Floyd) appears and reveals himself as the source of all the signs posted around the breakroom reminding everyone of the rules.

And they all are worried about their jobs and how to stay afloat if they go away.

Early on in the play, Reggie confides in Faye, who is the Union Leader, that their plant is shutting down, but makes her promise not to tell anyone yet. This doesn’t sit right with Faye who wants everyone to have as long as possible to prepare for losing their jobs. But Reggie is a kind of surrogate son to her, so she uneasily keeps his promise for as long as she can.

Reggie is tasked with wanting to do right by the crews he oversees as well as Faye, who is a few months shy of getting to retire with 1 1 . 2 3 . 2 0 1 7 V O I C E -T R I B U N E . C O M

LIFE

Anton Floyd and Dexter McKinney..

40 years and better benefits, but also trying to look out for himself and his family. With minimal education, Reggie knows his options are limited if he can’t get the company to transfer him to a different plant. At one point in the play, he asks Faye how it’s possible to fight for others and push back against authority without putting yourself and your family in jeopardy.

Dez wants the plant to stay open long enough for him to save up enough to open his own repair shop. But while he’s dreaming about more for himself, he’s also becoming increasingly concerned with his safety in a city where so many have so little that they’re willing to rob and steal to keep their families cared for. We also witness feelings blossom between him and Shanita, who is desperately clinging to her job at the plant, not only for her unborn child, but for the sense of purpose the work gives her. While 2008 is nearly a decade behind us, it’s easy to substitute cars for coal, and see how relevant this play is to our present and our region.

“Skeleton Crew” is about the lives that were reduced to stats and headlines on the nightly news. It’s a play about maintaining integrity when everything that you’ve worked for in life is disintegrating. It’s a play about what it means to be family – on and off the clock.

Interior Designer Marvin Dyer Reveals His Eureka Moments, His Evolving Tastes and How He Makes People Cry Story by Nancy Miller | Photos by Jolea Brown

M

arvin Dyer, an interior designer with Dwellings, doesn’t keep his designer secrets to himself. He’s candid, fascinating and funny. He knows what you need to know and he’s willing to tell you.

Do you have a signature style?

Casual elegance, Deco and Biedermeier are my personal styles. But, most of the time I work with clients and their tastes.

Marvin Dyer

What’s the latest news in interior design?

Everything has gone neutral and textured. There are some monochromatic interiors, which are beautiful, but most of the time people crave color. Mixing metals, such as brass integrated with chrome and stainless steel, is

24

very big now, which is nice because it’s very sophisticated.

Antique brass is back in everything – drapery hardware, nailhead trim, bathroom fixtures and kitchen cabinet handles.

How are design trends born?

Historically, fashion leads interior design. It trickles from Milan to Paris to New York.

It used to take five to ten years for trends to reach Louisville.

It has become closer to a year or two. We’ve come a long way.

People are more open to trying something different because of what they see on design shows on television.

What trend would you like to see disappear?

Big leather sectionals with a cooler in the middle. Lacquered 1 1 . 2 3 . 2 0 1 7 V O I C E -T R I B U N E . C O M

LIFE

brass of the ‘80s. That’s what gave brass a bad name. I had my lacquered brass drapery hardware unlacquered on purpose so it would tarnish. Now everybody is going for that.

Are there any must-dos for 2018?

take into account the amount of light and the landscape that will be coming in from outside. Light reflects color, so a white or cream wall could look green because the yard is coming inside.

Update draperies and pillows. Drapery styles are very simple today. Swags and jabots are over unless they’re in an extremely formal room. Panels frame a window. My drapery man laughs because I do only panels. I’ll occasionally do a tape for the leading age.

Current pillow colors are all shades of blue, green and orange. Orange has never gone out of fashion in my 20 years in business. It has been a staple of decorating.

You’re sort of a color guru, aren’t you?

Is there a definition of “good taste” or is taste purely subjective?

Traveling, primarily, and in current magazines. For the most part, things just pop into my head. It’s a weird, artistic thing. I’ll just have a eureka moment.

It’s mostly subjective, but there are some things only a mother could love.

Do you believe less is more or do you believe you can never have too much of a good thing?

Less is more, even in a very eclectic room.

There’s a limit to how many accessories you should have. Limit the accessories on a coffee or side table to one or two. You don’t want your house to have tchotchkes everywhere.

Organize them. They look better together. I had an aunt who displayed a salt and pepper collection on a baker’s rack in the kitchen.

It was cute, but if she had scattered them all over the house it would have made everyone nervous.

What’s the most common decorating mistake people make in their homes?

Choosing the wrong paint color. A recent client made her husband paint a room seven times before they hired me. Now he won’t let her pick a color without me. A color looks different during the day than it does at night.

When you pick a paint chip, you have to 1 1 . 2 3 . 2 0 1 7 V O I C E -T R I B U N E . C O M

A client has never hated a paint color I picked.

Where do you find inspiration?

What was your latest eureka moment?

A client who bought a cottage in St. Matthews said she loves the movie “As Good As It Gets.” I gave the cottage a romantic, clean feel, like a vacation house. She said no one wants to leave. That’s such a compliment to me.

How have your tastes and design, in general, changed over the last few years?

My tastes have evolved. I used to do a lot of formal interiors, but I’m going more informal, casual. And, I use a lot of lights colors – whites, creams and grays – now. When I started 20 years ago and mentioned white or cream, people looked at me like I had four heads. Technology has come into the design world by figuring out how to make indestructible, washable fabrics so that it’s easier to use lighter colors. We have sold the heck out of white and cream color Crypton, which is a soft, washable fabric.

What are some of the items in your home you couldn’t live without?

My Russian Empire chest, my mohair Donghia chairs and my Biedermeier dining chairs.

A designer must face a lot of challenges. What’s the one you most frequently encounter?

When a client wants something unique that’s not available locally, we have to go out of town to source products.

What’s most fun about being a designer?

Making people happy and helping them love their home. It’s a joy to see a client cry because they’re happy. I have had two clients cry this year. That’s very moving. VT

Finding Family Operation Open Arms serves children in need

By Graham Pilotte

W OPERATION OPEN ARMS Email jennifer@oparms.org oparms.org 502.493.5007

hen one or both parents in a family are incarcerated, what happens to their children? Operation Open Arms, a Louisville nonprofit, is dedicated to finding a positive answer to that question. For 16 years, they have been working to place children in temporary or long-term foster homes, ensuring that these children can continue to grow in a safe and nurturing environment despite parental incarceration.

“Operation Open Arms is all about the kids,” explains Cathy Bailey, founder and chair of the board. “We’ve been operating since 2001, and have been licensed by the state as a foster and adoption agency since 2003. We’ve served 40 children over those 16 years.” Founded by Cathy and Irv Bailey, the agency has been recognized nationally for its mission and work. “Our doors are open because we wanted to dedicate our time in establishing a loving, caring environment to raise children whose mothers are incarcerated,” Bailey says. “People don’t really think about what happens to children whose parents are in prison.”

According to the Operation Open Arms website, 75 percent of incarcerated women are mothers. Meanwhile, the average age of children with an incarcerated parent is just eight years old, and 22 percent of those children are under the age of five. At such a young age, having a safe environment to grow up in is desperately needed. “It’s an opportunity to raise and care for these children as they grow up, and an opportunity for the children

to become responsible adults and citizens,” Bailey says.

Their work is absolutely crucial as parental incarceration can lead to financial difficulties, low self-esteem and unstable relationships, among many other problems. “Statistics tell us that children born to incarcerated parents often enter into criminal activity themselves,” Bailey says. “What’s special about Operation Open Arms is that we’re giving children the opportunity to lead a normal life, ride the bus to school in the neighborhood where they live, have meals as a family and be provided with a moral structure to guide them in making the right choices later on in life.”

Operation Open Arms welcomes support from the Louisville community. “We’re in the midst of a fundraiser, selling Christmas cards that feature the artwork of our Operation Open Arms children,” Bailey says. “They sell for $20 for a pack of 24.” Financial contributions of any amount are much-needed, and donations of children’s clothes and toys are welcome as well. Community members are encouraged to participate in the fundraiser, but also to follow Operation Open Arms on Facebook and Twitter to stay updated on their work.

Operation Open Arms is changing the lives of children in our city for the better, and their invaluable efforts deserve the community’s support. “They’re thriving in the care of our families,” Bailey says warmly. “These children deserve a chance at a better life and we’re committed, every day, to making sure that happens.” VT 1 1 . 2 3 . 2 0 1 7 V O I C E -T R I B U N E .

COMMUNITY FOUNDATION OF LOUISVILLE SELECTS 15 ARTISTS FOR HADLEY CREATIVES

Masonic Homes of Kentucky has been named a 2017 LeadingAge National Award winner for its innovative work to improve the lives of seniors. LeadingAge announced the award winners in September 2017, and Masonic Homes recently received the award at the LeadingAge Annual Meeting and Expo in New Orleans, held October 29-November 1.

Fifteen Louisville-based artists have been selected to participate in Hadley Creatives, a new program developed and supported by the Community Foundation of Louisville.

Through a competitive application process, artists who demonstrated a strong creative vision and a readiness to pursue a career as a working artist were selected. The sixmonth program will help local artists build their professional practice, cultivate an expanded peer network and dedicate time for reflection and planning.

Hadley Creatives is supported by the George and Mary Alice Hadley Fund at the Community Foundation of Louisville. The Community Foundation designed Hadley Creatives as a way to nurture creative professionals and support a thriving arts economy throughout Louisville.

“From poetry to new media, stop motion animation to printmaking, the 2017 Hadley Creatives represent the best of what Louisville’s arts community has to offer,” said Susan Barry, President and CEO of the Community Foundation of Louisville.

“The Community Foundation is honored to be able to support the thought-provoking, high-quality work of these artists.”

CENTERSTONE AND USPIRITUS SIGN LETTER OF INTENT TO MERGE

2017 HADLEY CREATIVES

If finalized, the merger between Centerstone and Uspiritus will unite the community’s most notable residential service provider for youth with one of the largest behavioral health organizations in the state and create a unique continuum of care for children transitioning from state custody into adulthood.

Masonic Homes is among nine organizations nationwide to receive a 2017 LeadingAge National Award. Masonic Homes was honored with the Excellence in Not-for-Profit Leadership Award. The award comes as Masonic Homes also celebrates its 150th anniversary. Founded in 1867 as the first facility of its kind in the world, Masonic Homes of Kentucky has remained dedicated to serving others in communities across Kentucky.

“While we wrap up this historic anniversary, we are honored to receive this award for the work that we are doing daily to help enrich the lives of our residents,” said Gary Marsh, president and CEO of Masonic Homes of Kentucky. “We are thankful for the continued community support, and to be among the organizations and individuals selected for this honor.”

Masonic Homes of Kentucky offers daily living and specialized services to people of all ages, regardless of affiliation. Three campuses—in Louisville, Shelbyville and Northern Kentucky—make it easier than ever for those across the state to take advantage of an extensive continuum of care. As a nonprofit organization, Masonic Homes facilitates and manages relationships and investments in projects and programs that improve the lives of those served.

Centerstone Kentucky and Uspiritus have signed a letter of intent to merge.

Together, the organizations will have new opportunities to advance specialized care for at-risk youth in the Commonwealth of Kentucky.

By combining their expertise and resources, the organizations will be able to enhance access to behavioral health treatments, housing assistance, community resources, education services and job training for children, youth and families across the region.

“This potential merger is a unique opportunity to fundamentally reinvent and strengthen services for our neediest children,” stated Tony Zipple, Centerstone Kentucky’s President and CEO. “It will create the most extensive and effective

system of evidence-based care in the state.

Centerstone is excited to take this step with Uspiritus, and we look forward to providing real solutions for the children and families who depend on our care and support.”

Business Briefs

Uspiritus President and CEO, Abbreial (Abby) Drane, added, “Our vision is to create a continuum of care that gives foster children the treatment and services they need to be productive adults and reduce the high-cost of placing children in residential and institutional treatment. Our merger, if finalized, will be a huge win not only for the children of our Commonwealth, but the state itself. As one organization, we will be able to enhance care for the children and families in our communities and improve how behavioral healthcare is delivered nationwide.”

As part of the proposed merger, Uspiritus would change its name to Centerstone.

Centerstone is one of the largest non-profit providers of behavioral healthcare in the nation. In operation for more than 60 years, it has provider organizations in Florida, Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky and Tennessee, which provide an array of treatment, support and educational programs and services to more than 172,000 individuals who have mental health and addiction disorders and developmental disabilities.

With the addition of Uspiritus, Centerstone Kentucky will have 1,800 employees and serve 80 counties that provide services to nearly 36,000 people of all ages annually.

With the letter of intent signed by the Boards of Directors of both organizations, Uspiritus and Centerstone are currently finalizing the agreement. The process, which includes standard due diligence, legal and regulatory reviews, is expected to conclude this spring.

pets of the week Seven-year-old Owlee is a beautiful, Domestic Shorthair mix. This isn’t the first time Owlee has been with KHS, unfortunately she’s been adopted and returned four times over the last few years. Owlee has soft orange fur and green eyes that will make your heart melt. She has lived with a dog in her previous home and mostly ignored him so she could potentially live with a laidback, canine friend. Owlee cannot live with other kitties, however. Could you be the right family for this sweet cat?

Owlee is front-declawed, spayed, micro-chipped and up-to-date on vaccinations.

Come meet Owlee today at the Springhurst Feeders Supply, 9485 Brownsboro Road.

Meet Raven! Raven is a seven-year-old Boxer/Labrador mix that came to the Kentucky Humane Society when her owner could no longer care for her. This friendly gal is now on the hunt for her forever home. Raven still has quite a bit of energy and is always up for playing and going on long walks. She has great leash manners and has been a fairly quiet dog since arriving at the shelter. Raven has lived with dogs in the past and done well, but she’d love to meet any potential dog siblings before heading home with them to make sure they’re the right match. Raven is already spayed, micro-chipped and up-to-date on vaccinations. Meet her today at the Pewee Valley Feeders Supply, 12406 La Grange Road. For more on Owlee, Raven or any of our adoptable pets, please call 502-366-3355 or visit kyhumane.org.

UNIQUE GIFTS FOR YOU AND YOUR HOME, TOO. History of Uno de 50: Born in Madrid in the late nineties, the brand came into existence in response to the need of finding a jewelry style that would break away from everything that exists. A revolution where traditional jewelry techniques and processes were used for a new way of doing things. The first UNOde50 collections were made up of only 50 units of each design.

Wes t p o r t V ill a g e 1301 Herr Lane, Suite 117 Louisville, KY 40241

502-618-3868 WWW.SHOPTUNIES.COM

A commitment to quality and exclusivity forced to evolve because of the brand’s success. Currently, UNOde50 continues making all of its pieces using traditional methods as if they were one-of-a-kind, also presenting 50-unit Limited Editions with each collection. Now, more than twenty years later, UNOde50 keeps writing its story.
