FROM THE ACE ARCHIVES (ALMOST) 20 YEARS AGO IN ACE January, 2003

Mitch Barnhart Is the new AD a step in the right direction for UK?

L

L

ongtime University of Kentucky athletics director Mitch Barnhart will be inducted into the 2022 Class of the Kentucky Sports Hall of Fame in an August ceremony at Louisville’s Galt House.

Twenty years ago, Mitch Barnhart was a newly minted A.D. at University of Kentucky.

Barnhart was still brand new to the job when he sat down with Ace’s Jeff Zurcher for an in-depth interview (available in its entirety at acemagazinelex.com) that encompassed everything from long-running jokes about his hair to his dreams of a PF Chang’s in Lexington (which was only a rumor at the time).

But the winter of 2003 was a news cycle consumed by tragedy and the space shuttle Columbia disaster, and Zurch’s awardwinning longform coverstory quickly faded, in an era without any social media or google’s long tail to sustain it.

A 1998 UK graduate, scholar-athlete Jeff Zurcher compiled a perfect 4.0 GPA in English and advertising and received the Host Communications Senior Scholar-Athlete Award. Zurch, a Rhodes Scholar finalist, was an award-winning Ace sports columnist (sportspeak), who contributed dozens of feature interviews over the next decade.

6 | June 2022 | acemagazinelex.com

BY JEFF ZURCHER

ate Saturday night, Indianapolis, April, 2000. Two cars head north out of downtown, carrying men from Oregon who have just witnessed Michigan State defeat Wisconsin, and Florida defeat North Carolina in the national semi-finals of the NCAA men’s basketball tournament.

The mood, light. Conversation, jovial. But then a man in one car gets serious.

“Have you ever noticed Mitch’s hair length never changes?” prods Greg Byrne.

“Yeah, yeah, it never does,” agrees another man, one of the top supporters of Oregon State University athletics.

“Just look at it,” Byrne dryly instructs. “Mitch would be really upset with me if he knew that I told you guys this; but we’re all pretty close, so I think you should know: Mitch wears a toupee.”

The other three men can’t see Byrne’s discreet smile in the dark. But he knows their mouths are agape with surprise.

The cars drive on, looking for food. Nothing’s open save Denny’s. Eight men sit down at the table: six supporters of the program, Byrne, and Mitch Barnhart, OSU’s athletic director.

Barnhart begins talking; he’s passionate about his job, about college athletics. The supporters listen, mostly intently. But some shoot glances at the AD’s scalp. And one in particular, Doug Ginger, just stares at Barnhart’s head the whole time.

Barnhart wonders what may be quizzical about his cranium. Byrne wonders how he will keep from laughing aloud.

But Byrne doesn’t break. And for at least 48 hours more, the game is afoot. Not until the end of the trip does Byrne finally make known to all that Barnhart does not wear a hairpiece. Then, they all laugh.

Including Barnhart.

Family Matters Sandy Bell, UK’s Assistant Athletics Director for Compliance, immediately recognized Barnhart’s love for family. Soon after Barnhart arrived in Lexington, university officials were scheduled to appear in Chicago to appeal NCAA sanctions related to football recruiting violations.

Barnhart, being new to the job, was not an active part of the appeal, but nonetheless wanted to go along. However, his children were registering for classes that same day. So Barnhart went with them to register at Lexington Christian Academy and then, Bell says, took off for Chicago, “accomplishing everything he needed to do that day.”

Barnhart, this day neatly donning a blue sweater vest, white shirt, and gray slacks, leans back in one of the black leather chairs that surround the dark conference table in his office and crosses his legs. Soon, a knock on the door.

Wife Connie, tall, blond, and likewise smiling, pops in to see Barnhart; introduces herself politely and apologizes for the interruption.

The kids—daughters Kirby and Blaire, son Scott—promptly tumble in after her, further strengthening the familial scene.

Heading home for the afternoon, Connie gives Barnhart a quick peck on the cheek. He touches her gently on the arm, says, “Call you later.”

What It’s About Leon Smith’s in the middle. Literally. Barnhart’s office is in one corner of the beige-bricked strip overlooking the Memorial Coliseum floor; coach Tubby Smith’s is in the other. And Leon Smith, UK’s Basketball Operations Coordinator, has a space in between.

Before he began working with Barnhart and Tubby Smith, the two highest-profile members of the University of Kentucky Athletics Association (UKAA), Leon Smith had stints at USA Basketball and the NCAA. He also worked for UKAA when C.M. Newton was at the helm, and was a football Wildcat prior to that. He knows, has seen, has learned much.

“The student-athletes—that’s what we are here for,” says Barnhart with underlying fervor. “I want to treat our student-athletes the same way I would want my children to be treated should they ever have a chance to play college athletics.”

Smith reinforces this: “He has a sincere concern for each sport (UK has 22) to do well. He hasn’t been a football AD or a basketball AD—he’s been an AD. He’s very visible. Any event on campus, he at least makes an appearance to see how things are going. And that’s very different around here.

And that makes a difference.”

Greg Byrne, who has known Barnhart for more than 20 years and is now UK’s Associate Athletics Director for Fundraising and Development, puts it like this: “I think the bottom-line goal for him is

BUSINESS to have every student-athlete that comes in here, when they leave, say that if they had it to do all over again they’d go to Kentucky.”

“Mitch has a good perspective on things. He’s intense because he’s got a big job to do. He knows what’s really important. That’s why I respect him,” says Mike Breaux who often chats with Barnhart on the phone.

Then, limited to three words, Breaux describes Barnhart with: “Family. Integrity. Authenticity,” adding “And those would be the same three words I would use for one of his predecessors, C.M. Newton.”

And while Newton certainly represents several glories of UK’s past, Bell believes Barnhart “is the right man for this job at the right time.”

And when this state and those fans have a moment to look Mitch Barnhart in the eye, to understand him, they will know his heart for God, first and foremost; will know his passion for life; will know his values of hard work and honesty; will know his family is important.

And, hopefully, will know not to stare at his toupee.

AWARDS

STAYCATION

A

ce’s Annual Summer Guide is all about “Save the Date.”

Lexington is such an embarrassment of riches in the summertime, it’s easy to lose track of what’s happening and when.

Yes, we do all have 482,000 digital reminders at our literal fingertips all day everyday (and this Guide is available digitally as well), but sometimes you just want to see an entire Summer of options laid out in front of you!

Long before a pandemic entered the lexicon and kept everyone at home, Lexington has always been brimming with summer staycation options.

Once again, the city is anything but sleepy this summer.

From live music to movie series and dozens of Fairs and Fests, Lexington has something for everyone, in every neighborhood, nearly every week this summer. *As always, times and dates are subject to change. Confirm with the venue.

HEALTH AND OUTDOORS

On the Move

Wild Health has announced it’s moving its primary COVID-19 testing location in Lexington from College Way to the Lexington Legends ballfield, located at 207 Legends Lane beginning June 1. Testing will remain available at College Way through Tuesday, May 31.

In response to the coronavirus pandemic, Wild Health adapted their operations to perform COVID-19 testing and vaccinations in February 2020. To ensure they were able to accommodate the high demand for these services, Wild Health partnered with organizations throughout the commonwealth like the University of Kentucky who possessed the infrastructure to facilitate a safe and efficient system.

Wild Health will offer daily testing at Wild Health Field, and they accept most major insurance plans as well as self-pay at all of their Kentucky testing and vaccination locations.

“We’re looking forward to expanding our partnership with the Lexington Legends and Genomes while continuing to provide the world class service and solutions our clients have come to expect from us,” said Dr. Luke Murray, Executive Director of Telemedicine.

Additionally, Wild Health, in partnership with Wild Labs, is offering a new Dasher Service which offers influenza A and B and COVID-19 testing from the comfort and convenience of their patients’ homes.

PT Pros celebrated their grand opening with a ribbon cutting.

not feel any part of his body. Kristen arrived in Atlanta at 7 a.m. and was told that Britt had a severe C4-C6 spinal cord injury and would never be able to move anything below his chest.

Emergency surgery was completed that day to decompress his spine and do whatever repair could be done. The surgery was as successful as it could be and Britt was taken off the ventilator a few hours after surgery only to be placed back on it about eight hours later. Everything took a turn for the worse in the next few days as Britt developed a severe case of pneumonia.

During those very scary days, the O’Briens were able to get Britt admitted to the ICU at The Shepherd Center in Atlanta via what is called a “vent to vent” transfer. A day after his arrival at Shepherd, Britt’s oxygen levels plummeted several times and it was very touch and go.

They almost lost their precious son more than once, and Britt remained in critical care in a medically-induced coma for about five weeks.

He finally started to improve and stabilize and remained at The Shepherd Center until January 28, 2022. For now, he is considered a quadriplegic but is working hard to regain all the mobility he can. He currently uses a power wheelchair and has some movement in his arms and wrists but still has very little fine motor skills in his fingers and hands. This leaves him needing full time caregivers to help him with all daily living tasks.

Once discharged from The Shepherd Center, Centre College helped pave the way for Britt to return to school. Britt requires around the clock care and this has been a huge undertaking to arrange. He is only taking two classes while he continues to attend therapy at Frazier Rehabilitation Center in Louisville three days per week. The O’Briens’ home is currently being renovated to accommodate him which has required an addition. He will return home to live with his family this summer and continue to attend therapy in Louisville five days per week.

The upcoming Hartland Tour of Homes will celebrate how far Britt has come as well as showing the O’Brien family that they are not alone and will continue to be loved and supported on their journey to complete healing for both Britt and Tim. The Hartland Tour of Homes, benefiting Britt O’Brien, is scheduled for Jun 12.

here was a day when the O’Brien family would have been described as the typical, everyday hardworking family; active in sports, school, church, and community.

They have always been incredibly blessed with amazing friends and family who have especially supported them through the unfortunate and life changing events of the last three years.

Gracie, moved to the Hartland neighborhood in October 2003 and have raised their two children, Britt (21) and Gracie (19), among the friends and neighbors who are now considered family.

In December 2018, at the age of 47, Tim was diagnosed with stage 4 colon cancer.

After multiple rounds of chemo and radiation and several surgeries to remove tumors from his liver, colon, and pancreas, he is still fighting after another recurrence of cancer that showed up on a routine scan in October 2021. Tim is currently receiving bi-weekly chemotherapy treatments for his cancer.

In August 2021, Tim’s cancer was in remission and life was pretty normal. The O’Briens received a middleof-the-night phone call on August 7, 2021 that no parent ever wants to receive. Their 21-year old son, Britt, was being airlifted to Grady Memorial Hospital in Atlanta, GA after nearly drowning from a diving accident while on a summer trip with friends and Centre College lacrosse teammates in GA. Britt had mistakenly dove into the deep end of a pool when the group had gone for a night swim. He realized that he was paralyzed and his friend pulled him out of the water just as he was sure he was going to drown. He had a large cut on his head and could

pring skipped over us as usual this year (except for that one brief 30 minute period on Derby Day), catapulting us straight to the humid bluegrass bog that is Summer.

For the next three months, we take refuge in the shelter of shady patios and porches, sipping frosty cold libations and sampling lighter fare, fresh from farm to table.

BIRTHS Mehak Indian Cuisine is opening in the former Crumzz space on Limestone. Pawan Kumar (formerly of India Palace) will be the chef.

Chevy Chase once again has walking-distance sushi with the recent opening of Omakase Sushi & Sake Bar. Omakase translates to “respectfully leaving another to decide what is best,” and in dining, refers to a chef-curated experience.

Sam’s Hot Dog Stand will celebrate their Lexington Green grand opening in June.

TRANSITIONS Like the first robin of spring, one of the first harbingers of summer is the opening of the Gingko Tree Cafe at Ashland, the Henry Clay Estate.

An Ace Reader Review

BY MICHAEL JANSEN MILLER

T

his is what they call Basic Biscuit.

It’s “basically” a McDonald’s Bacon Egg & Cheese that went to an Ivy League school after Mommy bribed the Admissions Board. Which, I suppose, is why it’s just shy of $9. They serve it with a steak knife for inexplicable reasons.

I mean, this location is in a really good neighborhood.

The counter girl, who may or may not have lost her job at Chick-fil-A when she may or may not have forgotten to take off her Pride nose ring before her shift, offered me the berry jam on the side, which now that I think about it must have been an upsell because my check was $13. Whatever it costs, get some. If they had given out little packets of this jam at vaccination sites, Covid would have been over when Kamala Harris was still in the Senate.

The young couple next to me were obviously on their first date and obviously on their way to Keeneland. Chadwick had a Bloody Mary and Willicent did not. I don’t think she was quite expecting a biscuit fast casual to start her day at the races. He’ll be drunk by the post of the third race and she’ll excuse herself to visit the ladies room and call herself an Uber, texting, “You didn’t tell me Chad was so BASIC” to her cousin Ruth, who might or might not work the late shift at Sidebar, and definitely introduced them at Harper’s wedding reception.

SAT JUN 25

Ashland, the Henry Clay Estate will celebrate the 25th anniversary of the Ashland Lawn Party on June 25.

Sponsored tables are available.

ROB BREZSNY’S FREE WILL ASTROLOGY ARIES (March 21-April 19): Who loves the truth better than you Aries people? Who has the greatest potential to speak the real story in every situation, even when it requires extra courage? Who has more fun than you in discovering and defining and expressing the raw facts? In my Book of Life, you Rams are radiant beacons of candor —the people I go to when I need accuracy and honesty. And all I’m saying here will be especially crucial in the coming weeks. The whole world needs concentrated doses of your authenticity. Now read this pep talk from Aries philosopher St. Catherine of Siena: “Let the truth be your delight; let it always be in your mouth, and proclaim it when it is needed. Proclaim it lovingly and to everyone, especially those you love with a special love, but with a certain congeniality.”

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Before the 20th century, you couldn’t buy a loaf of bread that was already sliced into thin pieces. Then in 1912, the American inventor Otto Frederick Rohwedder developed a slicing machine. But all his work, including the blueprints and the machine prototypes, was destroyed in a fire.

He had to seek new funding and begin again. Sixteen years later, his innovation was finally ready for broad public use. Within five years, most of the bread in the US was sold sliced. What does this have to do with you? I am picking up an Otto Frederick Rohwedder vibe when I turn my visions to you, Taurus. I suspect that in the coming months, you, too, will fulfill a postponed dream.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): A blogger named Sweetlikeacherry reminds us, “Some epiphanies are only possible when you put away your phone and go completely offline for a while.” She adds that sometimes you also need to at least partially avoid your phone and the internet if you hope to incubate new visions of the future and unlock important discoveries in your creative work and summon your untamed genius. According to my astrological analysis, all these possibilities are especially likely and necessary for you in the coming weeks. I trust you will carry out the necessary liberations to take full advantage.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): Poet Carolyn Kizer (19252014) won a Pulitzer Prize for her poetry. She was smart! But when she was young and still studying her craft in college, a professor objected to one of her poems. He said, “You have pigs in this poem; pigs are not

poetic.” Kizer was incensed at such ignorance. She testified, “I got up and walked out of that class and never went back.” Judging from the astrological omens, I suspect you may have comparable showdowns headed your way. I advise you to be like Kizer. You are the only one who truly knows the proper subjects of your quest. No one else has the right or the insight to tell you what your work (or play) should be about.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): I’m worried you will over-indulge in your pursuit of perfection during the coming weeks. It’s fine to be exquisitely skillful and masterful; I hope you do that. But if you get obsessed with flawlessness, you will risk undoing your good intentions.

As an antidote, I offer you two pieces of advice. The first is from actor and activist Jane Fonda. She said, “We are not meant to be perfect; we are meant to be whole.” The second counsel is from philosopher and psychologist William James, who wrote, “Perfection is not attainable, but if we chase perfection, we can catch excellence.”

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Author Mustafa Mahmoud described the signs of love between two people: 1. feeling a comfortable familiarity; 2. having no urge or need to lie; 3. being natural, not trying to be different from who one is; 4. having little or no possibility of being embarrassed in front of the other person; 5. Experiencing silence as delicious, not alienating; 6. enjoying the act of listening to the other person. I bring these pointers to your attention, Libra, because the coming months will be a favorable time to define and redefine your understanding about the signs of love. How do you feel about Mahmoud’s ideas? Are there any more you would like to add?

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): “We do not love each other without changing each other,” wrote author Madeleine L’Engle. Meditate on that gem, Scorpio. Now is a perfect time for you and your loved ones to acknowledge, honor, and celebrate the ways your love has changed each other. It may be true that some transformations have been less than ideal. If that’s the case, the coming weeks will be a favorable time to correct those trends. As for the positive changes that you and your allies have stimulated in each other: I hope you will name them and pledge to keep doing more of that good work.

because I never put up with any other,” wrote Sagittarian novelist Jane Austen. Sagittarian politician Stacey Abrams said, “From the moment I enter a room, I am clear about how I intend to be treated and how I intend to engage.” You’ll be wise to cultivate those attitudes in the next seven weeks, Sagittarius.

It’s high time for you to raise your self-respect in ways that inspire others to elevate their appreciation and regard for you.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): In 1963, Jim Munro and Alice Munro founded Munro’s Books, a store in Victoria, British Columbia. After being on the job for a few months, Alice found she was not impressed with many of the products they sold. “I can write better books than this,” she told Jim. Five years later, she published her first collection of short stories, Dance of the Happy Shades. Fourteen books later, she won the Nobel Prize in Literature.

Will the coming months bring your equivalent of Alice Munro’s pivotal resolution? I suspect they could.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): “True love for whatever you are doing is the answer to everything,” proclaimed performance artist Marina Abramovic. Amen to that righteous attitude! I hope you will embrace it in the coming weeks. I hope your heart and imagination will reveal all you need to know to bring tender fresh streams of true love to the essential activities of your life. Now is an excellent time to redefine the meaning of the word “love” so it applies to all your relationships and pursuits.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): A homeless woman in a wheelchair stopped where I was sitting outside a cafe. She was pushing her belongings in a small shopping cart.

“Would you like to go dancing?” she said to me. “There’s a nearby park that has a great grassy dance floor.”

“Maybe another day,” I told her.

“My energy is low. I’ve had a lot of personal challenges lately.” I’m sure the expression on my face was lessthan-ebullient. “Cheer up, mister,” she told me. “I’m psychic, and I can tell you for sure that you will live a long life and have many more fine adventures. I’ll be in the park if you change your mind.” My mood instantly brightened. “Thanks!” I yelled toward her as she rolled away.

Now I predict that you, Pisces, will have comparable experiences in the coming days. Are you willing to welcome uplifting surprises?
