PUB NOTE

From The Publisher... It was a sad week in our community as we pause now to remember Louisville Metro Council President, Jim King, who was not only a gracious community leader, but an ambitious and accomplished businessman. As a very dear friend of my husband and I, we will always remember Jim as a wonderful man who contributed much of his time to the community he loved. He will be terribly missed both personally and among the community at large. We at The Voice-Tribune mourn with the rest of the city at the loss of such a respected leader and extend our thoughts to his family during this unfortunate time. Among the city leaders who are keeping the King family in their prayers, is no doubt our Mayor. Within the pages of this issue, we hope you enjoy an interview with our very own Mayor Greg Fisher in which he spends time with us to reflect on what he’s achieved within his first four years in office, and what he hopes to achieve with another four at term. This week’s Profile sits down with Patti Swope as she graces our pages to discuss with us what it means to not only take over a very successful, and important family business, but what it means to do so as a woman. She provides some wonderful and challenging thoughts on her many years of work in the auto sales industry and shares with us a few tricks of the trade. In Sports, Steve Kaufman provides us with some enlightening, if at times painful analysis, of the recent Cats crushing of the Alabama Crimson Tide, and the hard-fought Cards loss to the Blue Devils of Duke. Mike Rutherford uses UofL’s season record up to this point to take a look back at how this current season has some interesting parallels to the Cards we knew just a few years ago and asks if perhaps history might be repeating itself? You’ll also read an uplifting interview with a Bellarmine basketball player who was surprised on air by coach Scotty Davenport with a scholarship proving that hard work really does pay off. As always Matt Jones and Tony Vanetti are at it again with another installment of Verbal Scrimmage as they dissect the red and blue sides of our state. Around town, our galleries show off a number of prohibition themed gatherings. Our photographers captured The Filson Historical Society celebrating prohibition in the grandest of fashions: with a Heaven Hill or Evan Williams drink in-hand. A few blocks up the Frazier History Museum wasn’t to be outdone with its own celebration of its “Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous” exhibit as it offered an evening where guests could enjoy Guilded Age themed drinks, while soaking up the tunes of Dixieland Solution.

four MORE YEARS

reg Fischer was narrowly elected as mayor of Louisville in 2010, on the back of a successful career in business, but also a failed 2008 run for the U.S. Senate. The Democrat and Louisville native entered office in the midst of a recession, and despite being hampered by the economic climate firmly established himself as a popular figure in the Bluegrass, gaining re-election with great ease towards the end of last year and celebrating his second term inauguration on Jan. 5, 2015. During Mayor Fischer’s first four-year term, the city saw the creation of 22,000 new jobs – the fourth fastest economic recovery for a city of Louisville’s size in the country. Additionally, construction was funded and finished on the Southwest Regional Library in Valley Station, which expanded a small library into one that stands at 40,000 square feet and boasts a collection of over 120,000 books and 100 public computers with free Wi-Fi. Ground was broken on the Ohio River Bridges Project and a landmark deal was struck for the construction of the downtown Omni Hotel, a structure that will be the third tallest building in the city, and will contain 200 apartments as well as a luxury hotel. The Voice-Tribune caught up with Mayor Fischer to discuss the past four years and what he has up his sleeves for the next four, in a wide-ranging discussion. B Y I G O R G U R YA S H K I N

FOUR MORE YEARS You were sworn in on Jan 5, what were the emotions then and your reflections now on being sworn in for your second term?

budget a lot better. We had a different setting too, which ended up being a great and beautiful ceremony that involved the community.

Well, a couple of things. Firstly, it’s completely different from four years ago. Four years ago was the first time, and we were still in a recession, as a country. The challenges were intense and the future was unclear. But over those four years we’ve also built a great team here who now know what the obstacles are, and what kind of resources we need in a much more intimate way than four years ago. So it’s nice going into your second term well into your stride, and really ready to succeed. We’ve established a really nice national and international reputation in the first term. So it’s a good feeling knowing we’re going to get a lot more done. But to a certain extent you can kind of reflect on the specialness of the moment.

You mentioned you were hampered by the fact that we were in a recession in 2011. In spite of that, what were your biggest successes and failures as mayor?

Well it’s a personal moment as well...

Are there any specific neighborhoods that come to mind?

Right. But the first time you’re elected, in November you’re then taking office two months later, and you have to pull your team together, you have to understand the

Well, the biggest success was that our city was one of the first in the country to emerge from the recession. Since then we’ve regained all the jobs, and gained a lot more. We’ve got a really good economic development strategy, our neighborhood activation activity is a lot more intense with our safe and healthy neighborhood activity. Where we need to do a lot more work is with the areas of the community that don’t have as many resources, and face more challenges.

Well, we stabilized the number of vacant and abandoned properties that we had in the city. When we started we had over 6,000 vacant and abandoned properties and about 80% of those are in west Louisville. So that’s been stabilized, but now we’re looking for more investment in that part of town. At 18th and Broadway we will have some suc-

cess with the new YMCA, and new Walmart going in there, so that’s a good jolt of activity. In the Southwest part of the city we’ve invested a lot this past term. In particular, there was the only large capital project we were able to pursue because of the tough economic climate. But we built the Southwest Regional Library. Looking ahead for this year, though, the Parklands at Floyd’s Fork come to mind. There was obviously the recent announcement of the Omni Hotel. These next four years are going to be a time of investment; both in terms of human investment and capital investment, and we’ve been working on the Omni project for about two years and that is a transformational project for downtown The Omni Hotel project is a tangible job creator, but do you feel that downtown is still less of a destination spot than other neighborhoods in the city? Is there more that can be done? Well, there is always more that can be done, but the growth of downtown, in terms of momentum is significant now, and I would put its popularity up there with neighborhoods like The Highlands, Crescent Hill and St. Matthews. Those are the areas that have been growing strong and you can see that in

I think it’s a real shame that Kentucky loses gaming revenue to other states. The state is very stressed financially, so for our citizens who want to gamble, it’s $500 million that could be here and filling all kinds of challenges here.

the property values disproportionately rising in those areas. That being said, downtown is a big area, so one of the priorities that we have right now is downtown living. Part of the Omni project was the addition of 225 apartments on top of the hotel.

Well, I operated the crane on boats, so I had to deal with tidal activity and rough seas! But learning how to operate a crane is what enabled me to get a job in Alaska, and that allowed me to help pay for college, and helped pay for a trip around the world.

What do you think is the biggest misconception that people have about you as a person, and as a Mayor?

You spent a lot of time in Asia, correct?

That would be different for different people (laughs). But I will answer this way, the mayor before me was mayor for a very, very long time and so it took a while for the city to get used to a different kind of mayor. I’m a business oriented, entrepreneurial mayor, but to be a good mayor I always say you need the head of a chief executive, but the heart of a social worker. So while people look at me as a business person, I see myself as someone who wants everyone in the community, regardless of what their neighborhood is, to succeed. You’re still also the guy who operated salmon cranes in Kodiak, Alaska when you were a student in college right? Yep, that shaped my life in an unpredictable way. You think you could still use a crane? Absolutely, and the cranes now are much easier to use than back then! The skill to being a good crane operator is being able to pick up a load without drama and place it without drama. So you could give some tips to the guys building the Omni Hotel?

I was there for around nine months. Did that experience change you as a person? It had a real major impact on my life. At first I was traveling by myself for 10 months, and you learn a lot when you spend that much time by yourself. That was in 198081, so there were not a lot of people traveling Asia back then, thus I got to experience a lot. That kind of experience stretches you as a person, which I’m all about. Learn something new ever yday, have an act of compassion everyday, have a new experience every day, and over your life that really adds up in your ability to see the world in broader ways. That ended up influencing who I married – I have a great wife and four kids – and ended up influencing the business I co-founded, and turning that into an international business. It also let’s you see the bigger picture, and how the different cities around the world operate. We measure ourselves not in how we are doing compared to last year, but how are we doing compared to the best cities in the world. With regards to the minimum wage, how do you see the situation changing after you signed off on a $9 limit?

One of the reasons why I wanted to have the cost of living adjustment in there was so we didn’t have to come back to this again. The federal government has completely failed in relation to acting on a minimum wage. That would be the most obvious place for that to start. My reservation about pursuing a local minimum wage was the unintended consequences that can impact for places that don’t have to pay the minimum wage. So that is a real-time economic issue. But the flip side to that is that the wage hasn’t been increased in five or six years, so people already struggle when they are at the minimum wage. It needed to increase, and I felt that I was in a spot where I could increase it, but it wouldn’t lead to too much job loss. I know some people disagree with that, but I know business cost structures well enough to know that businesses that have high cost of labor who compete with businesses outside of county lines will incur job losses. It’s why I signaled to the city council that I would veto at $10.10, and they needed to come back with something more reasonable. As someone who himself went to school out of state [Vanderbilt] how do you face the challenge of keeping or drawing in young graduates and professionals to Louisville? Not every city is everything for everybody. There are some cities that are so big that they offer, seemingly, everything, from an economic standpoint. What’s the biggest offering that Louisville can provide? Well, I don’t know that Louisville is the best place for someone who is young, and single, continued on page 12

So go to Los Angeles, New York, Chicago, Hong Kong, London, and in three or four years some people may say, ‘You know what, I’d like to start a family, or move to a place that has a reasonable cost of living.’ The problem with these luxury cities of course, is that you can live around them, but you can’t really live in them. So is that what life is all about? To be really human, you need to live in

a city like Louisville, so that you can have time to breathe, and explore who you are, without killing yourself in a rat race all the time. So you need to be at a point in your life when you have got the 24/7 adrenaline rush of a big city out of you. A lot of companies in high cost cities are saying that they should be in a place like Louisville, because they can either move their people here or hire people there just as good. So, those workers can have a life, buy a house for $150,000 that would cost $1 million somewhere else, and that company will, in turn, have a more productive workforce. How pleased are you that there is going to be an introduction of body cameras on police officers? Well, our pilot will be running in five or six months, and I think that’s really important. There are a few cities that are ahead of us on that. Do you think it’s needed in Louisville? It’s needed everywhere, because it can take as little as one incident to trigger a significant problem in a city. And when you put cameras on police and they’re used properly reports of police abuse go down, because people

J A N U A R Y 2 2 , 2 0 1 5 • W W W . V O I C E -T R I B U N E . C O M

know that what the police say happened is a truthful account. Cameras protect our citizens and they protect our police officers at the same time. One of the things that’s interesting to reflect on, is could a Ferguson, Missouri happen in Louisville? What we’ve done here is create our Safe and Healthy Neighborhoods team, so that when there is a crisis in the city, and you’re sitting down in front of the people involved, it’s not the first time you’ve looked at each other from across the table, or had dialogue with each other. It’s what I call “building social muscle.” When tragedy takes place, how does your city respond? Do you come together? Do you fracture? So it’s super important to be proactive in that sense. Will there ever be an NBA team based in Louisville? And would you like one? I never say never, and I never say always, but we would want to be in play if it were a tangible possibility. Clearly, the community would need to say that they support it. There is a lot of interest in professional sports, obviously, throughout the city. What would you name the team? (Laughs) I haven’t spent that much time

thinking about it. That is not the most bottleneck issue! (laughs). We were very supportive of getting a minor league soccer team [Louisville FC], and we want them to succeed, because if they succeed we could possibly be in line for an MLS team. So it will be interesting to see what kind of reaction we get to the soccer team. Thoughts on legalized gambling? I think it’s a real shame that Kentucky loses gaming revenue to other states. The state is very stressed financially, so for our citizens who want to gamble, it’s $500 million that could be here and filling all kinds of challenges here. It doesn’t look like it’s something that’s going to be addressed in this current legislative session, but it’s something that I endorse. If there was no need for bipartisanship, negotiation, politicking and compromise in four years what would you like to see in Louisville? Well, you’d see a great continued job recovery, but an economy that’s transitioning into being innovation-based in one of the economic clusters for which we feel we can either be the best in the world, or one of the best in the world. There are a couple of those, one is life-

long wellness and aging care, and others include advanced manufacturing, logistics and e-commerce, food and beverage and business services. If we get the type of talent that can be imported or come from our own education systems, that’s what companies want to see. Also the areas of our town in which there is under-investment, you’d see more investment, more residential activity. You’d also see a more compassionate city. Also, health is an issue; we need to be working on the physical health of the city. Tobacco abuse, while not as high as in other parts of the state, still needs to be reduced. It’s terrible and preventable. Obesity is improving, but is still a problem, as well. VT

been a glass ceiling in the U.S. automobile industry

since Mary Barra became CEO of General Motors in 2014...

But if that ceiling for women is now shattered, it’s full of dangerously sharp glass shards in this still-male-dominated world. Patti Swope stepped through those shards when she became president of the Sam Swope Auto Group this month. And for those who think that’s just because of the last name on her birth certificate, she’s quick to point out, “my father never handed me anything” after that first job on one of his showroom sales floors, in 1986. “He was too smart a businessman, and too protective of what he’d built, for that.”

It’s not just women salespeople, either. She also tells male job applicants, “It’s not enough to like engines and cars. I get that a lot. ‘I really love cars, I want to be in the car business.’ But I warn them that they have to really like people, too, and understand how to work with them, take care of them, address their needs, earn their trust.” Swope says women still don’t see automobile sales as a business they want to get into, and yet “many of those who do are among our highest performers.” Why? “Because they’re good listeners, they hear what the customers want, rather than just talking at them.” Plus, the business has changed. “We have an increasing number of women customers, and sometimes they prefer dealing with another woman. So it’s great for our business to have a variety of people, as well as a variety of product.”

Contributing Writer STEVE

Swope has spent a good deal of her time at the company working to overcome some of the negative imagery of car salesmen. It’s especially important now, she says, because “anybody can buy a car on the Internet today. To get customers to come into our dealerships, we have to establish ourselves as offering good, valuable advice and trust – even friendship. That’s how dealerships will remain relevant.”

Tips for Finding the Right School for Your Child

By Andrew Campanella

f you’d like to send your child to a different school next year, now’s the time to start the process of researching your options. As Kentucky prepares to commemorate National School Choice Week later this month at 95 events across the state, and nearly 11,000 events nationwide, many parents will begin evaluating the educational opportunities that are available for their children. Believe it or not, seats in schools are already beginning to fill up for the 2015-2016 school year. Interest in school choice – the process of actively choosing a public, charter, magnet, private, or online school – is high. That means that waiting until the spring or the summer to begin researching schools for your children could restrict your options.

and emotional well-being of your child? Is it the academic performance of a school, school safety, the instructional methods, the qualifications of teachers, the school’s educational theme, a school’s shared values, or other factors? Once you’ve identified what matters most, start looking into the options available to you. In addition to the local public school, you may be eligible to send your child to a school outside of your ZIP code, or in a different school district. Look into nearby charter schools and magnet schools. Don’t leave private and faith based schools off your list! You might be able to find scholarships to cover the costs of tuition. And for some families, online learning and homeschooling work best.

No handbook or tip sheet can truly guide parents through the entire process of selecting a school, because choosing schools is an individual experience that will be unique to every family.

To find the options available to you, look at information from the Kentucky Department of Education, as well as information on state-based education reform or school choice organization websites. For a directory of most schools in your area, along with parent rankings and some performance metrics, parents can visit this website: greatschools.org.

However, parents can start by making a list of the attributes that they hope to find in an ideal school. Ask yourself: what’s most important to you and to the academic, social,

With your list of requirements and your list of schools in hand, start making appointments to visit the schools. Ask to sit in on classes, and make sure to ask as many ques-

Correction

tions as possible of teachers, the administration, and support staff. You’ll want to find out what motivates the adults in the building, while also seeing how the students in the classes respond to their teachers. Ask yourself: is this a place where I’d want to send my child for most of his or her weekday waking hours? Finally, make sure to talk with other parents – and to your own children. Ask parents how the schools’ administrators treat parents, and whether they welcome, or discourage, parental involvement. And most importantly, ask your children about their perceptions of the schools that you’ve visited. Find out what excites and motivates your child at school, but also ask about their worries, concerns and apprehensions. Making the decision to change schools certainly isn’t easy. And switching schools isn’t a piece of cake, either. But if you start now, and plan out the journey, you’ll find that the destination – a great school for your child – is well worth the diligence and effort. VT Andrew R. Campanella is the president of National School Choice Week. National School Choice Week, which runs from Jan. 25-31, 2015, is America’s largest-ever celebration of opportunity in education. Andrew lives in Miramar Beach, Florida.

He had discovered his niche. To survey the resources, Robertson took a drive out in the country looking for barns. “I noticed there are hundreds if not thousands of abandoned barns in the state of Kentucky,” he says.

Robertson stumbled onto the reclaimed wood business one weekend when he wanted to make some shelves. He’d seen reclaimed wood at bars and restaurants around town, and thought he’d find some.

Robertson got into woodworking when he was 15. It all started with a poker table.

“Very soon after that, my garage was piled to the ceiling with old, dirty wood.”

“That piece of wood has a track record that it’s a solid piece of wood,” Robertson says. “It’s not going to rot. It’s not going to attract termites.”

“There’s a surplus of really good wood that’s just rotting into the ground.”

Robertson, an energy engineer, founded Kentucky WiseWood in November 2013 in his onecar garage in the Highlands. “It kind of started one customer at a time, a truckload of wood at a time,” he says.

OBITUARIES

In Memoriam: Jim King 1952-2015

Metro Council President Jim King, a longtime and important leader in the financial and political community in Louisville, made an impact on many people over the years. We’re happy to remember him in these pages. Jim King was first elected to serve as Councilman for District 10 in Nov., 2004 and took his oath of office in Jan., 2005. In 2005, King was elected Vice Chair of the Democratic Caucus and in 2006 and 2007 was elected Caucus Chair and Majority Leader of the Council. In 2008, King was first elected President of the Council and served in that capacity until his untimely passing, having been elected to the office for a total of five terms by his colleagues on the Metro Council. He was Chair of the Committee on Committees and the Committee of the Whole. As President, he served as an ex-officio member of all Metro Council Committees. King’s Metro Council District comprised much of the East Side of Louisville’s corporate limits stretching from Bardstown Road and Hikes Lane to the St. Joseph’s area at Eastern Parkway and Preston Street. He proudly served the people of Petersburg, Buechel, West Buechel, Watterson City, the Upper Highlands, Audubon Ridge, Camp Taylor, Fincastle, Nightingale, Audubon Park, North Audubon, Schnitzelburg, Parkway Village, St. Joseph’s, Germantown, Paristown, Prestonia, and Belmar. As the CPA on the Council, Jim has used his technical training to lead the Council in budgeting and accounting matters, and as President he established a new committee structure aimed at government accountability. President King also identified budget savings, and established multiple bipartisan committees to address the Council’s rules and policies, the land development code, vacant and abandoned properties, annexation and intergovernmental affairs. Jim was born in the St. Joseph’s neighborhood on Ervay Avenue and later attended St. Raphael elementary school and graduated from St. Xavier High School in 1969. In 1973, he graduated from the University of Louisville, having received numerous academic honors, with a Bachelors Degree in Accounting and joined Ernst & Young. He received his Ken-

tucky license to practice as a Certified Public Accountant in 1976 and in 1981 formed a CPA firm, King & Company, PSC where he currently serves as President and CEO. King was also licensed to practice by the States of Indiana and Florida. In 1987, King acquired a small rural community bank in Nelson County, with one location, and over the last 27 years, that bank has become King Southern Bank, with six locations, four of which are in Louisville. King’s community involvement wasn’t limited to the Metro Council. King was active in his church and was a past President of the Community Bankers Association and the Kentucky Bankers Association. He served on the Boards of the Louisville Arena Authority, the Louisville Orchestra, the Kentucky Derby Festival, the University of Louisville Athletic Association, and Simmons College.

Nostalgia Not Enough

Even Louisville’s 1980 National Championship winning team, led by Cardinals legend Darrell Griffith and head coach Denny Crum, couldn’t inspire the home team to raise their game against a spirited, and ultimately triumphant Duke University, who emerged 63-52 victors over University of Louisville. Presented at half-time, the college legends were the focal point of a game in which the home team also wore throwback 1980s style uniforms that featured a dunking Cardinal on the shorts.

This was exactly three years ago. The fact that no college program in the country has won more basketball games over the past three seasons than UofL has become fairly common knowledge, so much so that it's almost been forgotten that the era began in a fairly dark place. On Martin Luther King Jr. Day, 2012, Louisville was 14-5 overall and 2-4 in the Big East. J A N U A R Y 2 2 , 2 0 1 5 â&#x20AC;˘ W W W . V O I C E -T R I B U N E . C O M

we just tried to be great defensively. It's almost like in baseball when you've got great pitching, but not great hitting, and so you just try to have a great defense. "I'm just praying and hoping that we're gonna have the same result as that team." Louisville's deficiencies have been well-documented at this point. The team doesn't have a knockdown shooter like Kyle Kuric or Luke Hancock (or even a solidly above average one like Russ Smith), it hasn't received reliable play from any of its three centers, and it has lost its three most important games of the season to this point. Still, the differences that are apparent between this Cardinal squad and the one that existed at this point three years ago are fairly stark, and seem to work in the former squad's favor.

The similarities in the comments are understandable when you consider the pair of products on the floor. The total number of Cardinal points scored in UofL's last four games: 259. The total number of Cardinal points scored in UofL's four games during this same two week stretch in 2012: 261.

For starters, this team hasn't lost a game to an opponent that isn't currently ranked in the top 15. Compare that to the 2012 group, which had already lost to two unranked teams at this point, including the previously alluded to 90-59 beatdown at Providence. And while Peyton Siva and Gorgui Dieng would both go on to be selected in the 2013 NBA Draft, that may not have been the case had they elected to leave school after the 2012 season. You probably can't say the same thing about Louisville's two best players this season, Montrezl Harrell and Terry Rozier, who both seem like safe bets to be millionaires in a matter of months.

"It's almost eerie how close the two teams are," Pitino said this week about the comparison. "What we did then was we didn't worry about the fact that we weren't a great shooting team,

Being frustrated after a performance like the one Louisville gave against Duke is understandable, but giving up all hope is not. Cardinal fans should have learned that lesson three years ago. VT

eerily similar to the ones being echoed when The Artist was about to win Best Picture; the team can't score, it doesn't have any shooters, it doesn't know how to win the big game.

Cats Shone, Cards Zoned

week ago, Kentucky fans feared the worst after the Cats were taken into overtime by two “inferior SEC teams.” This week, two dominating blowouts later, the talk about undefeated seasons and national championships is back in the air.

Early in the Duke game, Montrezl Harrell took a few mid-range jump shots. I figured it was because the Duke/Krzyzewski/Boeheim zone was taking away the inside for him. Apparently not. Vitale explained (more or less) that Harrell was trying to show the NBA scouts that he did, in fact, have an outside game. Hmmmm?

Missouri was expected to be a one-sided win. But Alabama figured to be a tough stop on Kentucky’s schedule, a road game against a strong, well-coached team with some size and some good wins.

I’m not blaming Harrell. I understand how college players can see these games as job interviews for their post-college days. But how irresponsible of the TV voices who profess their love for the sanctity of the college game.

Coach Anthony Grant was 71-11 at home, winning 17 of his last 19. John Calipari had a record at Coleman Coliseum, too. None of his UK teams had ever won there. The arena figured to be packed, and rocking. It was a nationally televised game.

Irresponsible, and also incorrect.

Everything that’s good about this Kentucky team showed up. The lane was clogged and shots were blocked. Nearly every big man showed spurts of offense. The defense was suffocating. The energy level was high. The outside shooting was mostly excellent, and the offensive rebounding was excellent when the shooting was not. And oh, that freshman backcourt! When Alabama closed to single digits in the second half, maybe a lot of UK fans wanted to avert their eyes or go walk the dogs. Five minutes later, UK was 22 points ahead of their opponent. Even Cal had problems hiding his satisfaction. It was a pretty impressive win. ZONE RANGER Earlier in the afternoon, Dick Vitale – master of nonsensical hyperbole – couldn’t stop ventilating about Coach K (baby!) and his brilliant adoption of Zone City in shutting down “Looey-ville.”

Google “control freak” and you’ll see Rick Pitino’s picture. Are you telling me Pitino would allow his best weapon to go off by himself and take some ill-advised shots just to impress the pro scouts? During a huge game, in a challenging first season, in a powerhouse conference?

SHOWING OFF FOR THE NBA But that was not the biggest gripe I had with what I heard on TV over the weekend. (No, I’m not talking about another Mitt Romney

Oh, well.

Wooden-worthy numbers, no? Look, I don’t want any of them to be so attractive to the NBA that they jump ship after the season. I’d love to see them all hang around for four full years. But they deserve to be evaluated on a level court. And if these kids are sacrificing and sharing for good old UK, I don’t want sacrifice to be seen as a somehow negative virtue. VT Kentucky’s Devin Booker was high scorer with 13 points against Alabama.

Later in the day, a much more subdued Kara Lawson spoke about the Wooden Award candidates, talking about points per game and other statistics. No player was mentioned from the nation’s Number One team. Calipari has assured us, as I’m certain he must have assured his players, that sharing minutes won’t affect their draft-ability, and that the pros would see their talent and potential, no matter how many minutes they play.

“Jimmy Boeheim showed him the zone when they were coaching the USA team,” enthused Vitale.

games, because they’re the most recent and easiest to calculate: If they played 35 minutes a game, Devin Booker would be averaging 18.8 points a game, Aaron Harrison 17.2, Dakari Johnson 16.1; Johnson and Karl-Anthony Towns would each be averaging 11 rebounds a game; Tyler Ulis would be averaging 6 assists a game, Andrew Harrison 5.

Trainer Art Sherman did a wonderful job with California Chrome and his decision finish the year with a run on grass in the Los Alamitos Derby – a terrific performance that followed a brave near-miss against fellow 3-year-old Bayern in the rough-and-tumble Breeders’ Cup Classic – helped seal his championship deal.

After her Breeders’ Cup surprise, Take Charge Brandi shipped to Louisiana to win the Delta Princess and then traveled to Southern California’s Los Alamitos, where Lukas scored major triumphs in his days as a Quarter Horse trainer, to seal her championships with a triumph in the Grade I Starlet. The Breeders’ Cup win by the daughter of Giant’s Causeway was a record-extending 20th for the 79-year-old Lukas, who is now working on a plan to get his newest star into the Kentucky Oaks winner’s circle.

Nicholasville’s, Ken and Sarah Ramsey earned a pair of Eclipse Awards in the categories of top owner and breeder, the second time they’ve swept those honors in the same year.

seys’ International Star scored a mild surprise in winning the Grade III Lecomte Stakes at Fair Grounds and placed his name in a prominent start on the list of major early contenders for the Kentucky Derby. International Star is now tied for the top spot in the “Road to the Kentucky Derby” points system that will determine eligibility to compete in this year’s “Run for the Roses.” It was a good day to be Ken and Sarah Ramsey, but one could say that just about every day. As expected, Zayat Stables’ American Pharoah easily earned the Eclipse Award for 2-year-old champion. American Pharoah returned to light training just after the first of the year and trainer Bob Baffert and connections hope he’ll be ready for Kentucky Derby 141. Trainer Graham Motion’s Main Sequence, a winner of four consecutive Grade I turf races, was a solid choice for top older male, as was the Bill Mott-trained Close Hatches, the year’s best older female. Top Sprinter Work All Week and Judy the Beauty were good choices in perhaps the most wide-open divisions. Main Sequence was an easy choice as turf champion, as was female counterpart Dayatthespa. Jockey Javier Castellano and Apprentice Jockey winner Drayden Van Dyke were easy and deserving winners in their human categories, and Todd Pletcher earned his seventh “Outstanding Trainer” trophy after another year of statistical dominance. Runner-up Chad Brown would also have been a good choice for a first Eclipse as top trainer, but his time will soon come. VT P H OTO S B Y R E E D PA L M E R | C H U R C H I L L D O W N S

The Crimsons this year have six seniors and six juniors on their roster. Ranked sixth in the state of Kentucky according to MaxPreps, the team is off to one of its best starts in recent years, winning 13 of its first 15 games, and coach Just says experience is the reason for such a great start to the 2014-15 season. “We’ve got a lot of experience via our kids that are coming back right now.

He is one of five seniors, and the day will soon come when he and the other seniors will pass the baton down to the juniors.

rebuild. They can pick up and learn from them, and next year maybe they will have the same experience.” It can become easy for a team with state championship aspirations to get antsy and overzealous, but Coach Just keeps his team level-headed, understanding that patience is key to this team’s potential. It is the little things that keep the team calm as they anticipate having a historic season. He comments, “We have a lot of little goals along the way, things that are kind of nice that we are hitting, but our main goal is to ultimately win a state championship. You don’t win a state championship in December or January. February starts to get you in that position, but that comes at the end of the year. So if we get satisfied now, we won’t reach our ultimate goal.” The ultimate level of success may not be raising a state championship for Manual. Misplaced values are not prevalent within the team, as they have a coach who emphasizes the importance of possessing the right priorities, and who indicates to his players that basketball is not the final say so in their lives. “I try to show through my faith what I believe. My morals, and my values come from faith, family, my friends, and people who are important to me. That’s what I try to teach them, as well; that those are things that they ought to prioritize in their life.” VT Manual coach James Just.

How did you find yourself on the roster for the Generals? I received an email from the Globetrotters PR director asking if we would have any interest in interviewing one of their players on Tuesday to help promote the game coming up on Friday. I replied to him, and he responded by writing that he had seen my profile on our website and inquired if I would have any interest in playing in the game. For me, it was a no brainer. Did you ever play basketball competitively? I have played basketball my entire life, with my claim to fame being a 1989 St X intramural title. At different times over the last 10 years or so, I have started media pickup games, at Hoops on Tuesday and Thursday mornings for a while and then at Bellarmine at 12 a.m. on Thursday nights. Since my daughter came along two years ago, I haven't had a chance to play that much. We would play until 2 a.m. and I could sleep until I had to go into work on Friday, but that is not the case anymore.

The Generals last defeated the Globetrotters in 1971, ending their 2.495 game losing streak. Did you have high hopes heading into the game? I liked our chances, and actually, when I was flagrantly fouled by "Big Easy," I should have gotten two free throws, but was only given one. If you saw how easily I drained that one, there really can't be any doubt that I would have made the other one. The Globetrotters ended up winning by two in overtime. Were you hoping there would be scouts at the game? I'm pretty sure there were. I have received inquiries from a few European leagues and am contemplating extending my one-day contract with the Generals to go on tour. Are you happy with your three points for the Generals? I was a little disappointed that I didn't drain the four point shot. The problem was that I should have practiced more. I only

tried it once on Tuesday, because I swished it. Then before the game, I figured we would have plenty of time to warm up, but that was not the case. We sat in the locker room for about 30 minutes and only warmed up for 10. I only took four shots in warm-ups, two layups, a three and a jumper. One of those points came from a free throw after being fouled. You didn't flop against the Globetrotters, did you? Did you see it? It was an extremely hard, flagrant foul, that would have resulted in an ejection in an NBA game. At first I thought that I had broken a few ribs, but was still able to calmly sink the free throw. Why did you choose not to dunk in the game? The show is not about the Generals. I knew this going in and feel that if I had dunked, it would have electrified the crowd and taken the attention away from the Globetrotters. Also, they forgot to lower the baskets to 8 feet, like I requested. VT W W W . V O I C E -T R I B U N E . C O M •

Bad Moon Rising for Cards?

TONY VANETTI: Louisville played their second top five match-up of the year and it ended the same way. Even though I think Louisville played better against Kentucky than they did against Duke, it didn’t come out well for the Cards.

MATT JONES: Yeah Louisville was awful for most of the game. The takeaway for me is, everybody focuses on Louisville not being able to shoot but they haven’t been able to shoot all year, and they’ve kind of got through all that. The bigger thing is Montrezl Harrell – we’ve all convinced ourselves that he’s a superstar but he’s played three games against ranked teams this year, and he’s scored nine, nine, and 10 points. Is it possible that Montrezl Harrell as a sort of national top five guy is slightly overrated? VANETTI: I think there’s something to that; I wouldn’t argue that. I think the fact that everyone is pointing to is that he has changed his game a tad bit to be more like the NBA style that he’s going to play at the next level, with the outside shooting… JONES: He needs to take no outside shots. No outside shots! He’s an okay shooter, but there’s no reason he should be shooting from the outside. VANETTI: We’re discussing whether he’s a high-profile first team All American. We all agree that he’s a great player, but is he an All American against the good competition, like you said? He hasn’t had superstar performances. I think he suffers when he plays legit big men in the low-post. He just doesn’t have the body He’s 6’6”? 6’7”? He has long arms, so he gets rebounds when he’s not supposed to. He can dunk a ball when he’s supposed to, but if he’s going to play legitimate 6’10” and 6’11” big men with talent and good feet, it’s a problem with him. JONES: You hit it right there. He’s not as tall as people think. He’s played against three guys in Willie Cauley-Stein, Karl-Anthony Towns, Jahlil Okafor and Kennedy Meeks on North Carolina.

of them will play in the league to some level. And he (Harrell) just hasn’t looked like a guy that can score, and that’s a problem for Louisville. We’ll see how the rest of the season goes. I told you all along, I think they will lose five or six conference games – are you finally ready to come and agree with me? VANETTI: Well Rick Pitino was agreeing with Matt Jones after the game. He said they thought they would get 22 wins. I think the jury is still out whether they can turn this thing around, and figure out what’s gone wrong. Again, they’re 15-3 with three losses to three of the best teams in college basketball. JONES: But they have no good wins! I agree with you generally speaking, if a team is 15-3 you sort of lay off. But they haven’t beaten anyone good. Minnesota was 0-5 in conference at one point. We’ll see. Here’s how we’ll judge Louisville: Can they beat Virginia, Syracuse and Carolina? If they can win two or three of those then I’d say ‘okay they’re still good.’ But if they lose all of them, which is legitimately possible, then I think you start to go “well, the shine is gone.” Two quick things before we get off topic. Do you – a) think it matters that Montrezl Harrell is no longer a captain? And b) are you worried about the program going forward, once Harrell, (Chris) Jones and maybe (Terry) Rozier are gone? VANETTI: Let’s tackle the Harrell thing first. I think this is typical mid-season form for Louisville, and Rick, and the players where we all believe that everything is falling apart. This is right on time. JONES: He does the drama every year, doesn’t he?

VANETTI: He does and this is what you learn to live with. It’s the same thing every year with a different player, and it was Chris Jones a couple of weeks ago. But this is right on time at the beginning of conference play, and then at the conference tour-

nament the team comes together and talks about brotherhood. So this is right on time with that; I’m not worried that he’s not a captain anymore. At the end of last year with the loss to Kentucky in the Sweet Sixteen Rick said, “that was the end of an era.” The end of the era is after this year. Next year everyone is young. The rebuilding year for Louisville is next year, so a lot of Louisville fans will be hoping they will go deep in the tournament this year because they know what’s coming next year. JONES: I will say one thing, that Donovan Mitchell kid is for real. He’s a really good player. VANETTI: Okay, Kentucky doesn’t play a ranked team all the way out. Does that concern you going into the tournament in terms of preparation for March? JONES: A little. But here’s the thing about the SEC. The bottom are better this year than they have been the past couple of years. There isn’t really a top besides Kentucky. So in year’s past you’ve had Kentucky, Florida, and a team ranked three to five. This year there’s no Florida. So it’s a little concerning, but the Kentucky team is so good, I’m not sure if it’s going to matter. But yeah, I wish they had one or two more games in the conference that were harder. VANETTI: Well, we know the Louisville drama from a few weeks ago with Montrezl Harrell and Chris Jones. But what is the drama involving UK right now? JONES: The only possible drama are the people who play up the Andrew Harrison/Tyler Ulis thing, which I think Calipari and his team have done a really good job of trying to ignore that. Let’s just say for the purpose of argument that the guys on the second year are better than the guys on the first year. Who cares? They’re winning by so much, it’s kind of irrelevant. VT

Thirsty Thursday: The Night Before the Long Dry Spell Guests joined The Filson Historical Society to celebrate the last day of legal alcohol sales with a tasting of “Old G.D. Bourbon,” a product that was bottled in the 1890s, along with Evan Williams and Larceny Bourbons from Heaven Hill. Before it was the ubiquitous term for a night of heavy drinking, “thirsty Thursday” had an entirely different meaning. Thursday, Jan.15, 1920, was the last day to legally purchase alcohol before Prohibition went into effect. Bourbon Historian Mike Veach shared the history of the temperance movement that created the long dry spell commonly known as Prohibition. In addition to the history, participants were invited on a self-guided tour of the Evan Williams Bourbon Experience.

He hardly even talks to that I know of. She is a pretty girl with a funny personality and is very bright. me or comes to see me, and when we do talk or see each other, we end up in a fight. The issue is, she is 18 and has been on only two We used to be great together, but things dates. She shows no interest in forming any sort of romantic relationship. She has never had a boyare no longer the way they were.

If your relationship is to work, you may need an attitude adjustment. Can you focus on the positive qualities the boy has? That would be a good first step. If not, then for everyone’s sake, end the relationship now.

Ethan insists he’s not cheating on me, but it’s hard to believe him, because when we got back together he had been talking to a girl who lives a few miles away from him. I don’t want to end our relationship. Ethan says he loves me and doesn’t want to leave me, but I don’t know what to think anymore. Any advice? -- DRIFTING IN OHIO

DEAR SHY KID: If you have already told your mother the reason is your shyness, then I can’t think of a way to state it more clearly. She may feel that your help in the project is urgently needed, which is why she’s insisting. Or, she may feel that it might help you to overcome your shyness. Sometimes when people work together for a worthy cause they forget about themselves and their insecurities. I hope you will give it a try -- if only so you won’t be grounded.

DEAR DRIFTING: Yes. Wake up, honey. The relationship you cherished with Ethan is over. A man who is in love with a woman sees and talks with her often, and doesn’t hide her from the world or get into a fight with her every time he sees her. That he would forbid you to mention that you are back together on Facebook and refuse to permit you to comment on his posts is a huge red flag. You asked my advice, and here it is: Take a giant step backward and see Ethan for who he is -- a person who doesn’t tell the truth and is very likely a cheater. If he was sincere, he’d be telling the world the happy news about your reunion. ••• DEAR ABBY: Last week, I had a seizure in front of my fourth-grade students. This has never happened to me before, so I had never spoken to my students about such a thing. I want to write them and their families a letter expressing my apologies, thanking them for their kind thoughts and giving basic advice on how to handle a seizure. Is this appropriate? If so, how do I start the letter? -APPROPRIATE IN NEW JERSEY DEAR APPROPRIATE: Before writing the letter, check with the principal of your school. Because you now know that you are prone to having seizures, I think it makes sense that your students should know what one is, and what to do in case it happens again in the classroom. Some seizures can be almost unnoticeable, while others can be quite severe. If yours are severe, a student should immediately inform another adult and ask for help.

friend, though many boys have expressed interest in her. The two dates she did go on, one in high school and one in college, she called “duds.”

She says she’s not gay, and has commented on good-looking guys. I don’t know what to think. Do you? -- WONDERING MOM DEAR WONDERING MOM: You say your daughter has always been independent. It’s possible she has enough self-assurance that she doesn’t think she needs a man in her life right now. It may also be that before becoming emotionally involved with anyone she would prefer to focus on her education or career path. Whatever her reasons, you would be making a mistake to push her in any direction she doesn’t feel ready for, or make her uncomfortable about being the way she is. ••• DEAR ABBY: I am in a great relationship with a wonderful man, “Kevin.” He loves me very much and we get along well. I have three kids -- two with special needs -- and Kevin loves them and treats them like his own. He also has a son, age 6, who has cystic fibrosis. I love Kevin and can see myself marrying him. The problem is, I don’t think I like his son. He’s a good kid, cute and funny, but I don’t feel “love” for him. I’m affectionate with my own kids, but I have to force myself to be with this boy. I am easily irritated by him and sometimes just don’t want to be bothered. I know this sounds terrible, but I don’t know what I should do. I don’t want to end my relationship with Kevin because I’m so in love. But is it fair to stay with him if I don’t love his son, too? -- IN CONFLICT IN NORTHERN CALIFORNIA DEAR IN CONFLICT: Frankly, it depends upon whether you can learn to love the boy. You say you don’t like him. Why not? Is the reason valid? Is he mean, dishonest, spoiled or too needy? Or could it be that he’s a living reminder that your boyfriend once loved another woman?

••• DEAR ABBY: I am 12 and my mom is part of a church group (Unitarian). She recently told me she is taking me to her church where they are making pies for the homeless. Even though this is a nice act, I don’t want to be a part of it (mainly because I am very shy around new people). When I told my mom, she said she thought I was being rude and inconsiderate, and that she would make me come and ground me if I didn’t go. Is there any way I can explain it to her better? -- SHY KID

••• DEAR ABBY: I have been dating a wonderful man for two years and am in hopes of getting a proposal soon. We are both committed to staying pure before marriage and have not been intimate. My question to you is, do I have to tell him, now or ever, that I have had breast implants? I did it several years ago, and it greatly improved my self-esteem. I’m glad I did it. Since he has never felt any breasts, if I tell him, my fear is he will get hung up on the thought, “I wonder what REAL breasts feel like.” On the other hand, if I don’t tell him and sometime in the future he finds out, he may be like, “I can’t believe you kept that from me.” What would you advise? -- RETICENT IN KENTUCKY DEAR RETICENT: Many women have breast enhancement surgery so their figures will be more balanced. For the reason you have mentioned, you should tell your boyfriend. It should make no difference to him. However, if it does, it’s better that you know now before you spend any more time on someone who measures the worth of a woman by how “real” her breasts are. ••• Dear Abby is written by Abigail Van Buren, also known as Jeanne Phillips, and was founded by her mother, Pauline Phillips.

Gallopalooza, Not Just for Horses Anymore

he familiar painted horses that can be seen galloping around Louisville’s streets are getting some new company. Gallopalooza Inc. recently announced two new additions to the fiberglass statue catalog which can be purchased and decorated for local businesses or individuals. The new statues will be a six-foot mint julep cup, and a horse on a bourbon barrel. The two new shapes were designed to incorporate and celebrate the city’s rich, blossoming bourbon culture, an idea which was supported by Louisville Mayor Greg Fischer. “The Mayor had asked us if we would consider something bourbon-related,” said Lynn Huffman, executive director of Gallopalooza, “since Louisville is really grabbing hold of the state’s bourbon heritage, and to provide an authentic visitor’s experience, as well as for people who are here. He wanted us to reinforce the wonderful bourbon craze that’s affoot. And seeing that we’ve done horses the last two rounds, we were also ready and interested in branching out and expanding our collection.” The new statue ideas were taken to committee and discussed, until they settled on the two new designs. The mint julep cup was selected because it is “a symbol of southern hospitality” according to Huffman. The horse on the barrel is a spin on the concept of a smaller horse, which they had seen success with earlier with

the ‘foals’. The proceeds from all of the statues will go towards beautification projects in Louisville, and many are still for sale. Interested businesses or individuals can contact Gallopalooza Inc. After selecting and purchasing a horse, sponsors can explore hundreds of designs, or submit their own. Artists from around the area have submitted over 125 unique designs, which sponsors can review and select from, or use as inspiration for their own unique design idea. Gallopalooza can also put sponsors in contact with local artists to decorate the statues, which will be displayed in front of their business for the coming Derby season. After the display season, the sponsors have the option to purchase their statue to keep permanently, or it will go to auction. Those proceeds go to Brightside and Waterfront

Development. Part of those funds will go towards LED lighting for the pedestrian bridge, and beautification of the 9th Street Corridor. Sponsorship of a statue is tax deductible, as Gallopalooza is a non-profit organization. The new bourbon-themed statues are sure to give a uniquely Louisville feel to any business or sponsor’s venue this Derby season. Statues will be available for purchase until the end of January, but interested parties are encouraged to contact Gallopalooza early, as numbers are limited. VT

A Woman for Women

By ROCKO JEROME Contributing Writer

here's an old adage that we meet remarkable people every day, it's just a matter of whether we take the time to notice. That's particularly true in matters of compassion. You never know if the man driving the bus might have just saved someone's life, or if the girl next door is destined to find the cure for cancer. Perhaps one’s overall contribution to humankind is meant to be measured, as the existentialist philosophers famously claimed, in small increments; little rations of compassion over weeks that become months that melt into years that stack up into decades.

graduated from Wren High School, circa 1937. The single girl in a class of 11, she was class valedictorian, chosen as most likely to succeed, won two scholarships, then started her working life as a secretary, which was about all that was possible at the time, even for such a bright young woman. "My first real break was with the War Department, at Columbus Air Force Base," Mrs. Humphries says, "later, in purchasing and contracting, I was transferred to Headquarters at Maxwell Field, Alabama where I remained until the end of World War II, when I received a commendation for my efficient and diligent performance of duty." It was the first of many such commendations she received in her adult life.

Any way that you care to look at it, Marie Humphries is a truly meritorious person, and a delight to get to know. Hailing from Aberdeen, Mississippi, Mrs. Humphries

In 1949 she married a sales representative for the Arrow shirt company, then moved around the country numerous times in those post war days. From 1951 to 1968 she was a wife, a mother, and Chief Volunteer wherever she happened to

She was president and member of The Council of Women Presidents; founder, president, and served on the Board of Directors for Louisville Chamber of Women, which later changed to the Women’s Chamber of Commerce. She also belonged to the National Conference of Women in Chamber of Commerce. She served as State Director of KY for the National Conference of Women in Chamber of Commerce from 1991-1992. In the midst of all this, she returned to Louisville in 1970, and formed Marie Humphries Home Health Registry. The motto was as simple as it was clear and direct: "Making each day easier." That's just what she did, setting up service to care for the elderly and infirm in their own homes instead of outside of them, well into senior citizenship herself. Today, the company is owned and ran by her granddaughter in law, Devon Conley. Mrs. Humphries is still ever present in the office, and the two share a palpable bond. "Marie C. Humphries has dedicated her life to the advancements of women in war-time, politics and business. She likes to dig down to the core of things. She peels away the outer shell and grabs hold of the essence of a problem. It is just her nature," Devon said of her fore-bearer, "her real contribution to society and particularly to women, was to promote women’s relevance, and to encourage a life well-lived outside the home." If you should see Marie Humphries out and about, perhaps when she goes out weekly to have her hair done, take a moment to speak to her. You will be glad you did. Marie Humphries Home Health Registry is located at 3703 Taylorsville Road. The phone number is 502.458.1700. They provide affordable 24 hour nursing service. Mrs.Humphries will also be featured in an upcoming documentary. W W W . V O I C E -T R I B U N E . C O M •

be located, whether in Raleigh, North Carolina, Richmond, Virginia; Greensboro, North Carolina; Memphis, Tennessee; or Columbus, Georgia. Finally, she settled in Louisville, where she still resides. However, that was only after a couple of years in Frankfort where she was appointed head of the Commission on Women by Governor Louie Nunn in 1968. Remembering how tough it had been for her as the lone female at her school, she was bound and determined to do things to improve life for women in the state she came to love. "I spent two years representing him on numerous occasions throughout the state, and nationally," Mrs. Humphries said of Nunn, "he also signed my letter of reference from the Department of Labor, stating that I was honest, reliable, conscientious, and an excellent person."

One such restaurant offering one of the finest examples of Indian cuisine is Clay Oven – situated in the heart of Middletown. For a restaurant that’s been open just over a year, Clay Oven has already been voted best new restaurant according to the readers of LEO Weekly. And it’s no surprise, given that the food served up by owner, manager and chef Posraj Bhujel is tasty, soulful, filling and a great chance to sample flavors otherwise not found in any other cuisine. To begin with it’s worth noting that the name Clay Oven was inspired by the clay ovens used in many Indian restaurants around the world known as tandoors, that cook many of the dishes at temperaJ A N U A R Y 2 2 , 2 0 1 5 • W W W .

tures as high as 900 degrees. From baking flavorsome naan bread to cooking a vast array of meats, it produces a unique smoky flavor that enhances so much of the cuisine on offer. The highlight of the meal was unquestionably the house specialty – the Jungle kebab which consisted of chicken breast marinated in yogurt, ginger, garlic, mint, cashew, as well as other herbs and spices. The tandoor locks in the flavor, creating a creamy, delicious dish that smacked of freshness, owing to the mint. A real treat. But to say that Clay Oven has one spe-

cialty would do a disservice to their food. The chicken tikka, a bright red broiled piece of poultry owing to the tomato based marinade and spices, was smoky and succulent, while the lamb chops were equally juicy. Bhujel, whose family also owns a successful Indian restaurant in Richmond, Ky., opened the restaurant with the goal of providing Louisville with some the authentic flavors of his homeland. “We just want to cook the best food we can, and use the freshest ingedients while doing it,” explains Bhujel.

A tasty addition at every meal is freshly made naan bread – another tandoor product – which works perfectly with Bhujel’s personal favorite, the Chicken Karahi, succulent morsels of chicken breast served with sauteed bell peppers, onions, as well as tomatoes and an assortment of spices including ginger. The most interesting aspect of Clay Oven is the gradual introduction of Bhujel’s native Nepalese cuisine. With Nepal sitting atop of the Himalayas, with China to one side and India on the other, there is a huge culinary variance. We tried only a small sampling, but it was delightful nonetheless. Chicken Momo is a traditional steamed dumpling akin to Japanese gyoza or Chinese baozi, filled with ground chicken packed with the flavorful spices including coriander, ginger and garlic and served with an achar (sesame seed-based) dip. “If people are new to Indian food then I recommend they come to our lunch buffet,” explains Bhujel. The buffet is available from 11 a.m.2.30 p.m. Monday to Friday and 11 a.m.-3 p.m. on weekends, serving many of the meat items and sides found on the regular dinner menu. “If they [customers] like that, then they should come to dinner and sample the rest of our menu.” For those who have room for a dessert there are plenty of options. Kulfi, an Indian ice cream made from either pistachio or mango is on offer. It’s cool and is a great palate cleanser. Also available are a traditional rice pudding. And with a full array of domestic and Indian beers, as well as affordable wines, there are plenty of drink options at Clay Oven. For those who want to sample the fine cuisine of India, or even try something as hard to find as Nepalese food, then make a stop at Clay Oven. You can’t go far wrong, when something tastes so right.

ed States – they’re all built the same.” There is a standard to the storage of barrels in our state, which produces 95% of the world’s bourbon. The storage areas are seven stories of 500 pound barrels filled with aging product. A minimum amount of electricity is used in the space, as a precaution for its precious flammable contents. With the sun rising over the hills above, the light beamed through the windows illuminating the dry, round barrels. Even if you’ve seen a picture like this, standing there should compel you to take one yourself. Later in the day, we also visited the family-owned Willet Distillery, which has eight rickhouses, one of which is used to store used barrels bound for microbreweries. We entered the distillery to see a very welcoming interior of heating tanks filled with fermented mash. The fans suspended from the wood ceiling rotated from the movement of a pulley system – just one of many features (including a one-of-a-kind still), which harken back to dependable old methods in this room.

Its conversion to a B&B came naturally, because the front section was built to house the jailer and his family during a time when it was required of the occupation to live in the jail. The Victorian style room was spacious, with old portraits decorating the walls and a gigantic bed. After a day of walking, talking, eating and tasting delicious bourbon, I surrendered myself to this welcoming snug piece of furniture immediately. What a great day.

The steady moderation of steaming comfort food and bourbon sampling in the company of my lady was a combination of undeniable satisfaction. I love cold weather for how it makes any source of warmth seem all the more cozy. Although, on our way back to the city, rolling up and down the hills past the different distilleries and farmland properties, I started imagining how gorgeous this area is during the rest of the year.

Home of the Week STEVE KAUFMAN

The house trailer, which became the camper, which became the RV, which became a home away from home, has now become, for some, a permanent home, a vacation home, or a weekend home – emphasis on “home.” These huge conveyances, a familiar sight on the nation’s highways, are decked out in all the domestic conveniences – soft leather furniture, elegant wood cabinetry and designed trim, tile flooring, comfortable bathrooms with showers, full kitchens with glass tile backsplashes, high-end residential refrigerator/freezers and dishwashers, convection microwave ovens and two-burner stovetops, air conditioning systems modeled after residential systems, sleeping as many as six to eight, charge stations for cell phones and digital flat-screen TVs with satellite dish on the roof.

Spacious on the inside, at about 340 square feet with 12-foot ceilings, it makes maximally efficient use of that space with chairs that slide out to extend the seating capacity, couches that convert into beds and kitchen countertops that unfold into sinks and stovetops.

There are also four pushbutton “slideouts” that extend the width by 10 feet on either side when the RV is parked. But this isn’t life in miniature. There’s a full queen-size bed in the rear bedroom, which also has a semi-circular glass shower stall and washer/ dryer closet. “This is a lifestyle vehicle now,” says Don Salyer, Northside’s sales manager. “People hit the road for weeks at a time, and live in these. There are campgrounds all over the country where you pull in, plug in and you’re good. These campgrounds have swimming pools, tennis courts, restaurants and stores.”

ly during the holidays. Salyer says the Boonesboro campground, one of the nicest in the commonwealth, usually requires about a year-in-advance reservation for Halloween week. And Disney World in Lake Buena Vista, Florida, says the RV sites in its Fort Wilderness Resort must be reserved a year in advance for peak seasons. In the Thanksgiving-Christmas-New Year’s Eve period, people park their RVs in the grounds for as long as a month at a time, at $160 a night. (Off-peak, the Disney rate is around $60.) For that, they can access kayak rentals, fishing excursions, campfires and water taxis to the park. During Easter, Salyer says, Northside rolls about 70 or 80 units into the spacious, well-appointed Kentucky Horse Park Campground for a special three-week sale. “The campground is filled with vehicles,” he says.

“Walmart encourages RV drivers to use its store parking lots,” says Salyer, “because they become captive customers.”

The Phaeton retails for a manufacturer’s suggested $370,330, but bank financing is available at somewhere between a mortgage and a conventional auto loan. Fifth Third Bank will loan up to $150,000 for up to 15 years. Its marine and RV rates, currently between 9.74 and 10.24 percent, are between 25 and 50 percent greater than its current auto loan rates.

A set of large rearview and sideview mirrors, plus a backup and sideview camera system, prevent almost all blindspots.

Primary residence? Salyer says more and more people are using it that way. “It’s such a mobile lifestyle we lead now,” he says. “I have customers with family all around the country whom they want to see more than once or twice a year. And they can come and go as they please. They just fill up the tank and head out, no hotel reservations necessary.”

A Bid for Education

Written by REMY SISK Contributing Writer

n Friday, Jan. 30, The Henry Clay building in downtown Louisville will be glowing with art. That night will mark the 19th year of Imagine! – the annual art auction and scholarship fundraiser for St. Francis School. Originally conceived for the high school, it now benefits both the downtown and Goshen campuses, since the schools merged in 2012.

The event begins with a cocktail reception and seated dinner catered by Wiltshire Pantry at 6:30 p.m. There is then an exciting live auction featuring trips and more special packages. All the while, the silent auction, featuring the art of local and international artists, will be open for browsing and bidding. According to Head of School Alexandra Thurstone, the purpose of the event is twofold. The first is to raise money for the school’s robust, need-based scholarship fund. “We want to make sure that any student who wants to attend St. Francis and deserves to attend St. Francis can do so regardless of their family’s financial means,” Thurstone points out. “Our goal is to meet 100% of need for all of our families, and this goes for junior kindergarten through 12th grade.” St. Francis is one of the most prestigious schools in the state, and is relatively expensive, which is why the upcoming Imagine! event is so critical to the school’s development. In addition to pure fundraising, the second purpose of the event is “to cultivate and promote the art community in Louisville,” says J A N U A R Y 2 2 , 2 0 1 5 • W W W . V O I C E -T R I B U N E . C O M

Thurstone. Because so many of the patrons of Imagine! are genuine art-lovers, the event also serves as an exquisite launchpad for emerging artists in the community, and as a way for them to show their work to new faces. Furthermore, Imagine! illustrates a partnership with artists that is unlike most events of its kind. According to Thurstone, “From its inception, it’s been a little bit different from many art auctions. We’re not asking artists to donate their work; we’re asking them to submit their work…and whatever the art sells for, we split the proceeds 50-50 with the artist.” Brad Devlin, an artist who specializes in found, salvaged and repurposed pieces focusing on collage and assemblage, is thrilled to be returning to Imagine! as one of its foundational artists. Devlin first became involved as his and Thurstone’s children both attended the weekday school at Highland Presbyterian Church and Thurstone recruited him to participate in Imagine! Devlin fully believes in the importance of the event for the art community and especially for the school, as he exudes, “if I could go back and do things, I would have gone to a school like [St. Francis].” In addition to Devlin’s work, the auction will also feature art from the seven artists in residence of St. Francis as well as other artists in the community and beyond. The artists in residence also assist in suggesting local artists to be featured, and an art procurement committee works to ensure the highest-quality and most

remarkable work is displayed. Additionally, parents, alumni and even faculty and staff are encouraged to submit art of any media. The pieces on display range from oil on canvas and sculpture to glass, woodwork and more. Unlike most independent school fundraisers, Imagine! has a significant following beyond the school. “A lot of the attendees at the event don’t actually have anything to do with the school,” Thurstone reveals. “They’re coming because of the art, and that’s why it’s such a great event for the arts community as well.” Due to the wide appeal of the event, Thurstone is confident Imagine! will meet its fundraising goal of $125,000. “It’s a big goal!” she

exclaims. “It’s a big goal, and we expect to meet it.” Thanks to the worthy cause behind the event, the dazzling collection of art set to be up for auction and the community involvement Imagine! encourages, it seems certain that they will. VT The 19th Annual Imagine! Art Auction and Scholarship Fundraiser for St. Francis School will take place Friday, Jan. 30 at 6.30 p.m. in The Henry Clay Building. Single tickets are $150 a person for the full event or $60 for dessert and the silent auction. Tickets can be purchased online at www. stfrancisschool.org or by calling 502.736.1005.

DJ Kim Sorise Gets 8UP on it

J Kim Sorise presents “Cinematic Sleaze,” a weekly listening and dancing party Thursdays at the new 8Up Elevated Drinkery & Kitchen in the Hilton Garden Inn. Also an ARTxFM radio host and half of the Derby City Soul Club DJs, Sorise has fused groovy sounds for a decade in Louisville, making her a logical choice to direct the music program at the new nightspot.

Arts & Entertainment PETER BERKOWITZ Peter’s Picks

How did you get picked for the music director job? You're well known and admired around Louisville, but I think your fans would have expected a shiny new hotel to go with something safer, right? Well, they asked and I accepted. It was that simple… What I hope is folks who have followed my deejay career know that I am not afraid to take risks and try something new. I have done soul nights, rock and punk nights, cinematic, atmospheric and world beat gigs - so spinning “Cinematic Sleaze” at 8UP is just me playing music that I love. I am very happy that the management at 8UP believes in selecting folks who know their passion and let them follow it; I think that’s happening for all of the DJs there. How did you select the other DJs in the rotation? I contacted the best DJs that I believed could make the most out of the space: Matt Anthony, Dwight Johnson, JP Source and Alex Bell. For me, building an atmosphere depends on both the music played and the space itself - meaning the

music and space work off one another. Making a room sound good is wonderful, but making it feel good? Well, that is a whole different set of skills. When I went in for my initial meeting at 8UP, one of the first questions asked of me was “What music did I think would make the space feel its best?” A little personification can go a long way.

I do not see 8UP as a dance club; it’s an upscale lounge, therefore, the music needs to accentuate that mood. I saw the space as being soulful and classy, but not buttoned-up. There is also tremendous texture and DJ Kim Sorise. drama in the space that inspires what I play there. For Matt, Dwight, Jon Paul, and Alex, each creates an interpretation of what sounds best and further enhances the mood they want to build. We each have a different approach to what we play, but they all blend very nicely. Do different styles or approaches work better on different nights? Or is there a less predictable pattern in a hotel? Yes, I do appreciate a varied but still connected approach. I love that each of us have different but also allied followings; our nights sound creatively different and musically varied but there is a common thread that appeals to a wide range of patrons …

Deejaying on a weeknight, in comparison to a weekend, offers a different tone, and at times, a different clientele. During the week, Matt, Dwight (on third Thursdays) and I start earlier at 7:30 p.m. the crowds are generally a nice size, but more low key. It may be folks staying at the hotel, dining at the bar, business gatherings, etc. Weekends are currently busier - the bar is open later. JP Source, Alex Bell and Dwight (first Fridays) start at 9:30 p.m. and offer a livelier party, for lack of a better word. The music may be more upbeat, but reading the room and its patrons are of equal importance. Regardless, we are always prepared to bring a good time. How has the experience been so far? And were the holidays crazier, or slower? It has been excellent! We have all had a very warm reception from the guests and staff. Everyone is super friendly and eager to have a great time and make 8UP a fabulous space for Louisville. The holidays were very busy - the Night Visions DJs spun on New Year’s Eve and sold out the place! Not too bad for only being open a couple months! All of us are beyond excited for the opening of the outdoor patio; it is beautiful and the view…fantastic! We are already working to create some exciting events overlooking the city. What will your 2015 sound like? Amazing and always soulful. VT To learn more, go to www.8uplouisville.com.

Oscar “True Story” Overdose Film Review BENNETT DUCKWORTH

bennettduckworth.blogspot.com

Bennett Duckworth is a film fanatic who lives in Louisville and goes to see a movie in the theater at least once a week. He has kept a movie review blog since September of 2011 with the mission of writing about every new release he sees, as well as new trends in film making and classic films he loves. Read more of his reviews at his website.

etween November and January of every year, I wind up with a “to-watch” list, made up of serious films nominated for awards, which were held from wide release until that particular time of year. Some years, the studios really have saved their best for last, but this year they’ve saved all their hard-hitting “based on a true story” stuff as the finale. I’ve had just about enough of it. In “Selma,” David Oyelowo, an actor who does not resemble Dr. Martin Luther King, does wonders in humanizing the saintly historical figure as a brilliant strategist in non-violent protest. Director Ava DuVernay, working with a screenplay that was restricted from using any of King’s actual speeches finds a formula similar to what we saw in Spielberg’s “Lincoln.” It focuses on one section of the hero’s legacy in order to ground the film, rather than stuff it with an entire life story. We get to see the man behind the public persona, filled with frustration as he fights for voting rights through life-risking demonstrations in Selma, Alabama, where he accurately estimates that media exposure of the inevitable police brutality will bring support to their cause. We also see his interactions with President Johnson (Tom Wilkinson), which are rightfully the source of historical criticism. Johnson is portrayed as a well-intentioned politician, hesitant to jeopardize his other goals, but it is debated that Johnson was, in fact, very cooperative with King. As for “American Sniper,” Bradley Cooper delivers a performance worthy of his nomination, as Chris Kyle, a patriotic Navy SEAL who became the deadliest marksman in US history, while serving four tours in Iraq. Clint Eastwood’s film may tell the story of a super-soldier, but it is likely to connect with veterans of any role and their families - who have ever dealt with the J A N U A R Y 2 2 , 2 0 1 5 • W W W .

Like a lot of Eastwood pictures, the film is a fine balance between raw spontaneity and traditional straightforward storytelling with the tendency to feel redundant,, using too many scenes in its long runtime that communicate the same thing again and again. Like, “The Imitation Game,” both of these

3 OUT OF 4 WHOLE STARS films are good, but in the context of their release time, I feel obligated to point out that they are far from any demonstration of advancement in cinema as an art form. They are conventional dramas filled with enough violence, tenderness and historical reverence to find an audience. The stories they tell are valuable, but they cast a shadow over less self-important films that shined brighter. VT

PUZZLES

pets of the week Tigress

Looking for a sweetie pie kitty? Come meet Tigress, a playful, happy, curious kitty who enjoys meeting new people. Tigress was very much loved by her owner, but a family member was quite allergic, so she came to the Kentucky Humane Society so we could find her the purr-fect home. Tigress is just a year and a half old, so she still has kitten qualities. She is spayed, micro-chipped and up-to-date on vaccinations. Come meet this lovely kitty today at our East Campus, 1000 Lyndon Lane. For more on Tigress or our other adoptable pets, please call 502.366.3355 or visit kyhumane.org.

Arry Arry is a two-year-old Labrador retriever/Pit bull terrier mix. She is as friendly as can be and loves to meet new people! Arry is very excitable and eager to play, so she would do best with an active family. She gets along well with other dogs most of the time, but sometimes her energy can be a little overwhelming. In addition, she doesn’t do that well with cats, so she would probably be best suited to life as an only-pet home or in a home with a highly energetic playmate. Will you give Arry a chance to find a place to call her forever home? She’s spayed, micro-chipped, and up-to-date on all of her shots. Come visit Arry at the Kentucky Humane Society’s East Campus, 1000 Lyndon Lane. For more on Arry or any of our adoptable pets, please call 502.366.3355 or visit kyhumane.org.
