NKU grad leads Buﬀalo Trace and bourbon resurgence Harlen Wheatley a driving force behind bourbon industry James Pilcher Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

FRANKFORT, Ky. – Harlen Wheatley may be best known in Northern Kentucky for playing linebacker on the Boone County High School football team that made it to the state title game in the late 1980s. But elsewhere around the world, Wheatley is recognized as one of the driving forces behind the resurgence and explosion of Kentucky's bourbon industry in his role as master distiller for Buffalo Trace Distillery. "I have lots of good memories of growing up there and going to Boone County," said Wheatley, who was brought up in Union and got a degree from Northern Kentucky University before joining what would become Buffalo Trace as a supervisor in 1995. "Football was a big passion of mine." Now, Wheatley oversees production for the privately-owned facility, which is one of America's oldest and longest running distillery, dating back to the late 1700s. He is credited with not only helping craft the recipe that became the company's flagship product but is also instilling several other innovations. That includes overseeing the explosion of the craft bourbon scene and production of some of the industry's most famous brands including Blanton's and Pappy Van Winkle. "Back when I lived there and was in school, there were different styles of bourbon but nothing like it is today," he said. "You basically had 4-5 choices ... and the thinking was no one would pay $25 for a bottle of bourbon. There were only 6-7 distilleries in the first place mak-

What we reported: Through its hit podcast Accused, The Enquirer reported that William Virgil had ﬁled a civil suit against Newport and Cincinnati, as well as 13 named police oﬃcers from those cities and Norwood, in relation to his 1988 murder conviction that was overturned in 2015. Virgil had been convicted of fatally stabbing 54-yearold Retha Welch, a divorcée and prison minister, in April 1987. Virgil’s conviction was overturned William R. after biological testing Virgil in found that his DNA 1987 wasn’t among the three samples discovered inside Welch’s assaulted body. William "Ricky" Virgil had to wait 28 years in prison on a murder conviction before DNA evidence led to his release. Since then, he's waited three more years for any traction in his civil lawsuit alleging he was wrongly convicted. Virgil's conviction was the focus of season 2 of Accused, the hit true-crime podcast produced by The Enquirer. The season, centering on the brutal stabbing death of Retha Welch inside of her Newport apartment, spanned eight episodes and was released in the fall of 2017. See VIRGIL, Page 4A

And to think it almost didn't happen, at least for Wheatley. Wheatley says after he graduated from high school, he considered a career with Eastman Kodak as a chemist, following in his uncle's footsteps. But after a few years studying at NKU, Wheatley realized he didn't want to spend that much time in a lab. So he finished his chemistry degree at NKU and got a chemical engineering degree from the University of Kentucky. He says Kodak, then the world's largest camera film manufacturer, hired "a couple thousand" engineers nationally the year he graduated from college. Four years later, they laid off 4,000 people. "I did make that comment back then that boy, that could have been me," Wheatley said. By that point, Wheatley had been See BOURBON, Page 2A

recruited by what was then known as the George T. Stagg Distillery, which was about to transform not just itself but help take the bourbon industry to another level. "When I was hired, that was the plan for me to apprentice and eventually take over," said Wheatley, now 49. "I never knew it would take me here." Wheatley says the distillers came to him after asking UK officials for possible candidates, he was still working for the water treatment company that hired him as a college student. By that point, he had fallen in love with the history of the state's bourbon industry and all that he had learned during his time in Lexington. "There was a lot you didn't hear about growing up in Northern Kentucky – brands we didn't get," Wheatley said. Within a few years, Stagg had been transformed into Buffalo Trace Distillery in the heart of Frankfort, launching its flagship product that helped put Wheatley on the map.

Local product made good Wheatley was brought up in Union, where his mother still lives. His brother also lives in nearby Walton. His fondest memories are playing for legendary Boone County coach Owen Hauck as well as visiting the bars along the Ohio River "once I was of legal drinking age, of course," Wheatley said. He also recalls one of his first experiences that touched an engineering nerve when he made an operational crossbow in shop class at Ockerman Middle School. "First of all, can you imagine that now?" Wheatley said. "And secondly, it's too bad that they don't even teach shop much anymore." He routinely flies in and out of Cincinnati when he travels around the world pushing the Buffalo Trace brand and

makes frequent visits to Northern Kentucky. Locals within the alcohol industry view him with reverence, even as they don't quite understand why the area hasn't embraced its native son. "He is such a quiet guy, but he is a genius when it comes to making good product," said Molly Wellmann, a well-known Cincinnati area mixologist and owner of Molly's Brands "What's funny is that there is a lot of connection between Cincinnati and Northern Kentucky and the bourbon industry through the years that not a lot of people know about. "Heck, even Pappy Van Winkle lived in Northern Kentucky for a while and sold Weller bourbon up here," said Wellmann, one of the area's foremost liquor historians. Indeed, Wheatley comes oﬀ as quiet and reserved, unlike some of his prede-

cessors and contemporaries such as Jimmy Russell of Wild Turkey and Booker or Fred Noe of Jim Beam. The engineer in him makes Wheatley more apt to dive into a discussion of the lifespan of the white oak trees that supply the wood for bourbon barrels than about bars or cocktails. But he is as passionate about the industry as his compatriots. "To us, it's all about the quality of the product," Wheatley said. "That and the stories behind it. There is such history here that we need to honor as we move forward."

Role of distiller expands In his role, Wheatley oversees the actual making of the bourbons for the distillery. He is a member of a "leadership team" that includes someone from marketing, bottling/distribution, and the maintenance/grounds/tourism department – they all report up to Buffalo Trace's owners at the Louisville-based Sazerac Co, which also makes Fireball Whiskey. But he acknowledges that he's the public face of the company. "It's just part of the job," he said with a shrug. And unlike the old days, where a distillery might put out one or two different kinds of bourbon, Wheatley is busy overseeing the distilling of more than 18 different brands from the Frankfort site. All are based on yeast that dates back to the 1930s. That includes the brand that helped start the current craze, which was a nonstarter at other distillers. Elmer T. Lee had tried in vain to pitch a concept of a "single-barrel" high-end bourbon to several distillers in Kentucky in the 1980s. It was only the Stagg company that took a chance. That idea became Blanton's, which launched in 1984 as the world's first single-barrel bourbon, which means that what comes out of the distinctive bottle with the bronze horse stopper was aged

from a single source and wasn't mixed with bourbon from other barrels. Wheatley says it took a while for the concept to catch on, however. The company even agreed to make a special blend of Blanton's for Japanese customers that is diﬀerent than the American counterpart – because the Asian market initially was the only one to embrace high-end bourbon. "We said we'll make it if you buy it, and boy did they ever," Wheatley said. Now, all the major distilleries have multiple higher-end oﬀerings.

Next steps for the distillery Just as he was in on the ground floor of the first major rebranding, Wheatley is onboard as Buffalo Trace embarks on another $1.6 billion expansion. He says given that it's hard to predict what people will be drinking or what trends will be in place in 20 to 30 years, it is a huge gamble. "Every drop of whiskey that we have aging is sold already, and we just don't see the demand for our product diminishing," Wheatley said. And just as he was picked out of the crowd (he joined the distillery when he was only in his mid-20s and only 36 when named master distiller), Wheatley is starting to groom his own replacement. "We've hired some younger people just like I was hired to try to make sure that this continues on," he said Not just that, but he's not done the experimenting. Buffalo Trace recently launched a new line of vodka called Wheatley, named after its master distiller. He also oversaw the opening of Warehouse X, a special section of the campus where experimental whiskeys are made. "I actually can't wait until they put out a single barrel bourbon with his name on it," said liquor historian Wellmann. For Wheatley, it's just about keeping the legacy going. "This place has been here 180 years and is not going anywhere," Wheatley said. "And neither am I."

Community access stations standing up to FCC C.M. Brown works at a TBNK editing bay. He's editing Suits that Rock, charitable concerts that bring together musically talented executives.

Melissa Reinert Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

The Federal Communications Commision (FCC) is considering a rule that advocates fear could ruin the future of community cable access stations across the country. That means no more coverage of the high school football game, said managers of two cable access organizations. That means loss of transparency in local government with no more meeting coverage, they added, and, more importantly, the loss of a local voice. Large corporate studios have nothing over community cable television, according to Jason Dudas of Telecommunications Board of Northern Kentucky (TBNK). Early in his career Dudas, a program director, spent some time in Hollywood. "My work here is much more satisfying," said Dudas, who's been at TBNK for 20 years. "I like knowing that someday a guy is going to show his kid the big touchdown he scored. He'll be pulling out a DVD of the game we covered and produced. It's tucked safely on his shelf. He never made it to the pros, but that's his special memory to share. It's important." According to Dudas, the projects he worked on in LA were forgotten just as soon as they were released. That's not the case in Northern Kentucky. "We're more important here," he said. "We're a big part of people's daily lives." A possible FCC ruling, however, could change that. The proposed FCC rule would signiﬁcantly cut funding for community cable television stations such as TBNK across the country. Like these stations, TBNK provides community programming supplied by local residents and organizations, original shows produced by staﬀ, government meetings, and coverage of various community and sporting events. Community cable television stations also provide free education and use of professional video equipment. "We allow the public to produce their own programming and get their ideas on the air," TBNK executive director Tim Broering said. "We are the community's

voice." The FCC rule, however, which could go into effect at any time, would allow cable providers to deduct the cost of local programming from the franchising fees they pay to cities and towns. The proposed FCC rule states: "Specifically, we tentatively conclude that we should treat cable-related, 'in-kind' contributions required by a franchising agreement as 'franchise fees' subject to the statutory 5 percent cap on franchise fees set forth in the Communications Act of 1934." Basically, according to Broering, capital costs – the cost of equipment and upkeep to produce community programming – would now be counted as part of the franchise fee with the 5 percent cap, limiting funds. Limited funds mean limited service, and, for some, access stations that are struggling to make ends meet, the end. FCC representative Will Wilquest said the commission would not give a comment on the matter but "let the proposal speak for itself." It's unclear how the rule will impact Ohio community cable television stations. It all depends on the final ruling and how the cable companies choose to

react to it, according to Waycross Community Media executive director Chip Bergquist. Waycross provides public, education and government access services for Forest Park, Greenhills, Springﬁeld Township and Colerain Township. "Because the Ohio legislature took cable franchising away from local municipalities in 2007, most of the issues affecting funding contemplated by the FCC ruling would have no further eﬀect," he said. "Having said that, depending on how the ruling is interpreted going forward, it could allow the cable companies to charge for the actual channels themselves, something that Congress did not intend when the cable act was enacted," Bergquist said. It's not clear if that would be enforceable in states with state franchising laws, however, Bergquist said, this is something Waycross is concerned about. "We have been working to diversify our funding over the past several years, however, franchise fees are still a very important component of our budget," he said. "We hope the FCC will craft a sensible resolution, and that the cable companies will continue to support local

Virgil Continued from Page 1A

When the podcast wrapped up, Virgil's lawyers anticipated that depositions would begin any day in his pending civil litigation. That didn't happen, but behind the scenes, legal wrangling has continued. In recent weeks, Virgil won a key legal hurdle that he hopes will prove police and prosecutors framed him for murder. And in a separate development, a police officer has acknowledged that there was another suspect in the slaying all along. Here's a rundown of the complicated case: On April 13, 1987, Welch's body was discovered in her bathtub by a coworker checking on her after she failed to show up for work. Welch, a psychiatric nurse, was a devout Christian who had volunteered as a prison minister and sometimes befriended released convicts. Virgil, then 35, had been released from prison a few months before Welch's death. Welch had ministered to him in prison and, according to Virgil, the two had a sexual relationship after his release. After Welch's body was found, Virgil was arrested and charged with murder. A jailhouse informant named Joe Womack helped secure his conviction by testifying that Virgil had confessed to the slaying while the two shared a solitary confinement cell in an Ohio jail. Kentucky Innocence Project lawyers fought for years to have DNA evidence in the case tested. They finally won, leading to testing that identified semen from three men inside of Welch's body. None matched Virgil, prompting his release from prison. Campbell County Commonwealth's Attorney Michelle Snodgrass vowed to retry Virgil, but Womack recanted his

earlier testimony in 2016 and said he had been bribed and coerced to lie on the stand by police and prosecutors in the case. Womack also testiﬁed before a grand jury weighing new charges against Virgil. Testimony before grand juries is typically secret, and it's so far unclear whether Womack repeated his coercion claims before the jurors. Either way, the jury didn't recommend charges. Snodgrass said in January 2017 that she wouldn't charge Virgil again – not because he was innocent, she said, but because she wanted to honor the grand jury's decision. Elliot Slosar, one of Virgil's lawyers, requested that Snodgrass share Womack's grand jury testimony with his client. Slo-

sar argued that the testimony could help determine if Virgil had been framed by police and prosecutors, as he's alleging in his civil suit. Snodgrass refused to provide Womack's testimony, calling the request "ridiculous." So what's happened? Eleven months after that testy courtroom exchange, on Nov. 9, a federal magistrate sided with Virgil and ordered that the Commonwealth provide all grand jury transcripts or recordings in the case. Magistrate Candace J. Smith said in a written ruling that as important as it is to respect grand jury secrecy, Virgil had a right to the testimony "to prevent the possibility of injustice in this civil rights lawsuit." Still, that testimony might never be

communities, schools, community media centers and their subscribers who use and watch the (public) access channels." Broering, a Fort Thomas resident on staff for 17 years, said TBNK shows a few hundred shows weekly over six channels. In addition, several of the staff-produced shows, as well as those by residents, have received recognition locally and nationally. "We work hard to build quality programming for our public," Broering said. "We air 20-plus government meetings a month and provide full Northern Kentucky election coverage, just to name a few things. We are a public service." Broering believes the FCC is overstepping its bounds and that the effects will be devastating to all community access stations. "Large cable companies are bought and sold for tens of millions of dollars," he said. "They can use this rule to stomp out what they don't want to have in their budget. Thousands across the nation have filed comments with the FCC. Hopefully, our voices are heard." Public comment period has ended, but Kentucky and Ohio residents can still contact FCC commissioners here.

made public. Both parties entered a confidentiality agreement. Meanwhile, at least two witnesses have been formally deposed in the civil case. One was the former girlfriend of Isaac Grubbs, a knife-wielding man shot dead by police within a mile of Welch's house the same weekend Welch died. The second witness was a police officer who said his bosses described Grubbs as a suspect in Welch's death. As detailed in Accused, Grubbs was a 27-year-old man whose lengthy arrest sheet included convictions for assault, trespass and terroristic threatening. On April 11, 1987, he showed up at his girlfriend's mother's house with a large butcher knife. Police arrived, warned him to drop the knife and ultimately shot him four times. This happened two days before Welch's body was discovered in her bathtub. A coroner estimated that she had been killed two to three days before her body was found. Lester Caudill was one of the Newport officers who shot Grubbs. In a June deposition, he testified that soon after Grubbs' death, he learned that Grubbs was a suspect in Welch's murder. The revelation is significant because police and prosecutors have for decades maintained that Virgil was the only suspect in the case. It also makes curious a decision by prosecutors to destroy the knife Grubbs had wielded the night police shot him. That knife was one of three that had been entered into exhibit during Virgil's trial. While all of the other evidence in the case has survived, prosecutors asked a judge for permission to destroy Grubbs' knife in 2005. It had never been tested to see if Welch's blood was on it. What's next? The prosecutor is supposed to hand over the grand jury testimony to Virgil's lawyers and at least a dozen more depositions are expected. Eventually, the case could head to trial.

Stephanie specialized in the distance runs – coming out strong right away as she captured the Kentucky Class A state title in track in the two-mile run as both a seventh and eighth grader. She went on to add five straight state titles in the mile run from 1986 through 1990, plus she was a member the state championship mile relay team (1989 and 1990), the 800-meter relay team (1990) and the 400-meter relay team (1990). She added Class A cross-country state titles to her list of achievements with three straight championships from 198789. Her time in the 1989 state championship was the fastest in the state in any class. The Kentucky girls’ cross-country team went on to capture the National AAU Championship in Hagerstown, MD in 1998, and she was honored by the Kentucky State General Assembly as a member of that team. Her accolades throughout her career were amazing – she was named Kentucky Post Runner of the Year five times, Kentucky Post Female Cross-Country Runner of the Year three times, first team all-state in track five times and first team all-state in cross-country four times. Stephanie has been inducted into the Northern Kentucky Athletic Directors High School Hall of Fame (2003), Dayton High School Hall of Fame (2008) and the Kentucky Track and Cross-Country Coaches Association
