alentine’s Day is nearly upon us and we’re excited to bring you a list of love-themed events around town.

Whether you’ll be heading to the KFC Yum! Center with that special someone to cheer on the Cards as they take on NC State, or sitting down to a romantic dinner for two at any of Louisville’s fine restaurants, we know cupid will be hovering nearby. If your Valentine’s Day weekend plans include flying solo then flip ahead to this week’s installment of “Table for One” to see how one local gal plans to enjoy her day being single in the city.

We hope you will enjoy our feature this week, which focuses on the breathtaking renovations and construction taking place at the University of Louisville’s J.B. Speed Art Museum, all the while taking into account what it means to be an art museum in 2015 and beyond as we head into the future with such a storied establishment.

We visit Mellwood Arts Center for this week’s Business Profile to learn all about how this unique venue operates a variety of individual spaces. From private art studios to open event rooms, there’s not much you can’t do within its 42 acres. Find out what makes them unique, keeps them current and what new venture they have planned for the future.

In Sports, Mike Rutherford offers us a thoughtful analysis of the future of Cards star guard, Terry Rozier, as he considers whether the sophomore will return to the Cards next year or enter the NBA, following in the footsteps of his predecessor, Russ Smith. Steve Kaufman explores the implications of the Cats’ statement win over the South Carolina Gamecocks, despite the Cats having a rough history with losses against South Carolina. And we meet Northwestern Mutual’s Athlete of the Month – Miah Casey. The Butler High School center/forward is ranked top 10 in the region, and helps lead the reigning girls basketball state champion team.

Around town, our galleries captured many reasons to celebrate this weekend, beginning with the grand opening of our city’s newest rooftop bar – 8Up Elevated Drinkery and Kitchen. Under Chef Russell Kook and Sean Thibodeaux, this unique experience is sure to be one of your newest go-to’s for cocktails and bites. The Cincinnati Reds caravan came through town just in time to get everyone excited for baseball season as Slugger Field hosted Reds players, radio announcers and mascots including our local favorite, Buddy the Bat. The legal community came together to celebrate P H OTO B Y C L AY C O O K

the Annual Bench and Bar Social held at the Muhammad Ali Center, while longtime Family Court Judge Jerry Bowles was honored with a retirement party, after many years of dutiful service to the city of Louisville.

SPEEDIN INTO TH FUTURE Art gets people talking. What else in life, other than religion and politics, gets people as worked up as art? In fact, there are few things that riles people as the question of what even constitutes art? With the re-opening of the Speed Art Museum, after it’s multi-year renovation, art in Louisville will have back its biggest and brightest venue.

While the venerable institution will have a physical makeover, the real change will come in the change in attitude that the museum – under the guidance of director Ghislain d’Humieres and his team – will have in relation to the notion of the gallery as a community hub.

“A museum, in my mind, in terms of the structure of the city, is a place for the whole community,” explains d’Humieres. “It’s a place where you welcome the community, and where they can experience and enjoy the arts. And every part of the community, including the underserved part of the community, will feel welcome and have a good time.”

And for d’Humieres and his colleagues, the way to truly do this is to instill a 21st century mentality, moving away from an antiquated view of the gallery as a place where art is simply revered and put on an elite pedestal.

“Many museums around the world are still very much stuck in the 19th and 20th century idea of a

with the students, has been one of the ways in which the museum has sought to branch outside of its current Market Street location.

“I challenge you to get me one person who can come to a place like ours and not react to a single piece [of art]. Whether they like it or not that’s a reaction and therefore a discussion.”

“The goal was for the learning and community outreach department to go to the school and really work with the kids and teach them how they can express themselves with photography,” explains d’Humieres.

-Ghislain d’Humieres, Director

“It was a great program that allowed us to spend lots of time there,” adds Anne Taylor, Deputy Director – Advancement and Operations. “I think having multi-visit trips or stays in schools is a real benefit. We went there for three hours a day, two days a week, for 5 weeks, so we got to know the boys really well, and built their trust, which was a big part of the project. We got them thinking about composition, expression, and different techniques, allowing them to bring in their own voices and ideas and because we used film, the kids only had 12 shots. So part of the process was getting them to be really selective about what they wanted to take photos of.”

But while that photography has hopefully inspired some children, it will also benefit the school. The best photographs taken by the children will be offered in a silent auction at the annual Speed Ball, with proceeds going directly to the West End School.

museum as a temple of the arts,” adds d’Humieres. “But we want to create something new because the museum is an open window onto the rest of the world for the whole community.”

One way in which the Speed Art Museum has tried to embrace the idea of bringing art into the community is through their work with the West End School. The goal has been to introduce one of the most immediate artistic mediums – photography – to students, perhaps who have had less experience in using it as an art form.

“This is the first time that we’ve supported another organization at the Speed Ball,” adds d’Humieres. “But it was a way of reinforcing the idea that we want to reach out to the community, and make a difference.”

Aside from their work with the West End School, the community outreach, headed up by Taylor, also went to other

8

schools to test out the Speed’s initial pilot program – The Art Detectives. The goal was to encourage children to think like museum curators, and consider how pieces of art are appraised, by analyzing them, asking questions and physically interacting with them. This was done by bringing pieces of art directly to the schools. The program was a resounding success.

“The pilot project reached 2,500 kids,” says d’Humieres. “But next year we will be reaching 5,000-6,000 school children, and so far it has been free for all Title I schools.”

But while the gallery has seen success by going out into the community, the ultimate goal is to get Louisvillians to come to the Speed Art Museum when it reopens next year, after its multi-million dollar renovation project. And with the renovation will come a new way to experience art and allow the community to start a dialogue about the collection. This is something that’s been in the thoughts of the team at the Speed Museum, and none more so than for Scott Erbes, the Speed Art Museum’s Chief Curator.

“For me one of the things that art museums are good at addressing is visitors’ concerns

F E AT U R E

and ideas, ‘We don’t understand how to look at these pieces.’ And this is particularly true of abstract art because people find that challenging.”

The first way to address those concerns has been to think carefully about how the gallery will be ordered and how that affects the visitor’s experience. Gallery One, the first building that’s part of the old 1927 building that visitors walk through will be a cross section of the entire collection, but with a knowing nod to the gallery’s founders.

“What the other curators here have done is tried to think about how we can introduce visitors to the collection in a new way,” continues Erbes.

“We want Gallery One to be a tribute to Mrs. Speed, and to acknowledge her, and how none of this would be possible without her, so it will have pieces from her collection. But then there

will also be an overview of the whole collection in that one space.”

However, it’s in Gallery Two that the real change will occur under Erbes’ auspices, with the space being divided into quarters dedicated to technique, function, context and response, and allowing gallery goers the choice of what they want to see, and experience, and to better equip them to do that.

“We’re giving people the permission to hate things,” explains Erbes. “It’s okay to hate something because what’s important is the engagement itself. So in the “response” section we will have post World War II - 1970 abstract art.

This will allow us to talk about composition and form, and begin to get people thinking.”

“We have to strip down what we, in our

9

world, call ‘curatorial authority,’” continues Erbes. “Which means often we [the curators] are the ones who are telling you what pieces of art mean, and what to look at, and we need to move beyond that. The goal is just getting people thinking about the art, whether they like it, hate it or are even ambivalent about it, because what people bring to that discussion is just as important, if not more so, than what I have to say about it.”

And it’s this continuing and evolving dialogue that continues to be central to the goals of the Speed. What’s important is the chance for a community to come together, regardless of social or economic background and enjoy the art on offer in Louisville, whether it focuses on the city, the nation or acts as an eye on the rest of the world.

One thing that the team at the Speed noticed was how different generations wanted to start that dialogue. While one would think that the young would embrace techcontinued on page 10 W W W . V O I C E -T R I B U N E . C O M •

from page 9

nology while older generations would stick to more traditional ways of engaging with the artworks, in fact, focus groups showed that it’s very much the other way around, with young people looking to switch off from their persistent connection to the world via smart phones and the internet in preference for absorbing the gallery naturally, with older people desiring an electronic connection to the museum experience.

“What is an experience?” asks d’Humieres. “It’s a dialogue with someone you know, or don’t know, or someone from different generations. And if the museum is the only neutral, non political and non religious place where people can have this sort of dialogue without any risk and are able to talk and challenge, where else can you do that in a community structure?”

“I challenge you to get me one person who can come to a place like the Speed and not react to a single piece,” concludes d’Humieres. “Whether they like it or not that’s a reaction, and therefore a discussion.”

And it seems whatever that conversation is, it will be a modern one – a dialogue firmly rooted in the 21st century. VT

And, of course, it was a conspiracy.

Those of you enmeshed in the historic controversy probably failed to notice the historic State of the Union Address delivered by historically African-American President Barack Obama.

That was the plan.

There was (and I know; I brought the carrot sticks) a historic meeting of limp-wristed, welfare-loving, book-reading lefty traitors and we (with the assistance of rogue black people and Jews) arranged to have the balls deflated just before the game.

This created a controversy fiendishly timed to keep you from really absorbing the full socialist thrust of Obama’s Sharia-infused, Afrocentric, traitorous speech.

I’d like to pause here for a moment to thank the rogue black people and the Jews. Without the rogue blacks’ hatred of America (even the ones who are veterans) and the Jews’ total control of the media, the colleges, the movies and the banks, we never could have done it.

Let’s say a major midget stock car racing scandal breaks out just before Obama has Muhammad’s picture put on the dollar bill? Who’s gonna notice the new money?

And, on the day the Supreme Court makes gay marriage mandatory in Alabama there will be a HUGE pro wrestling scandal. Turns out it’s been fake for all these years. We’re giving that story to The New York Times. They’ll print anything we tell ‘em to print.

OK, so that one backfired, too. You noticed the whole nativity scene thing and didn’t care if rich people got all the tax cuts. The right-wingers caught us on that one. No matter how poor you got, the right-wing talk show hosts reminded you that gay marriage and nativity scenes are more important than decent health care and a living wage. We misjudged your patriotic willingness to stay poor for Jesus.

And it doesn’t stop with art studios and event spaces. Mellwood is also home to PURE Fitness Training, Fleur-De-Lis Academy of Ballet, and even Hope Culture Church.

If you can’t make it to Friday’s event, more events are on the calendar. The center will host a children’s consignment sale from Feb. 23-March 1, with 40-50 vendors selling gently used clothing, toys and other items for kids.

Le Gallo Rosso, an Italian-inspired bistro previously situated in the Highlands, reopened at Mellwood about two WES weeks ago. “It’s KERRICK been absolutely jam packed,” Davidson said.

And Mellwood is already preparing for its annual September art fair, which drew more than 50,000 patrons last year. “We have music and food, and it’s two great days,” Davidson said.

Business Profile

On 42 acres at 1860 Mellwood Ave., the Mellwood Art & Entertainment Center fills 360,000 square feet with something for everyone. It’s no wonder LEO Weekly named the center Louisville’s “best place to have an event/party” the past two years.

On the lower level, Mellwood Antiques & Interiors fills more than 45,000 square feet with collectibles and home furnishings from more than 125 dealers.

If by chance you’re entertaining plans of marriage, then Friday, Jan. 27 will be a perfect time to visit. The Louisville Wedding Network will put on its bi-annual wedding show from 5-8 p.m. Cake decorators, DJs, wedding planners, honeymoon arrangers, invitation designers will be on hand – in all, more than 40 vendors.

The expansive brick building dates to 1904. The event rooms boast a delightfully distressed look, evoking the building’s industrial past. The Monet Room seats about 160 guests, the Picasso Room up to 320. And with 12,500 square feet and an adjacent courtyard, the Van Gogh can accommodate large weddings, proms and galas.

The Frankfort Avenue Trolley Hop will run Friday night as well, and the center’s always-free parking will be available for trolley riders. Mellwood’s vendors will stay open until 9 that night.

Leasing and marketing director Scooter Davidson has worked at Mellwood since opening day in 2003. “What’s most rewarding is seeing people come here and have a good time,” she said.

Mellwood’s strong relationships with local decorators and planners allow the center to put events together on short notice. “We can turn on a dime,” Davidson said.

Back when John and Todd Clark purchased the facility from Fischer Meat Packing Company they planned to turn it into a space for local artists. It’s become that, and a whole lot more.

“It was extremely successful from day one,” Davidson said.

“We had a waiting list of artists to get in here. We couldn’t build the studios fast enough.”

Across from the main building, Mellwood plans to develop a large vacant building into a fourth event space. “The larger rooms are really in demand,” Davidson said.

And in three years or so, Mellwood’s owners plan to add some apartments on the adjoining property.

“We are always building something new,” Davidson said. VT You can view Mellwood’s event rooms Monday-Thursday, 10 a.m.-4 p.m., and Saturday, 10 a.m.-2 p.m. Most vendors open Wednesday-Saturday, 11 a.m.-4 p.m. For more information, call 502.895.3650 or visit www.mellwoodartcenter.com.

Beverly Mangum Allen

John Casper Fawbush

Beverly Mangum Allen, 81, died on Sunday, Jan. 25, 2015.

John Casper Fawbush, 88 passed away, Friday, Jan., 23, 2015 at Norton’s Brownsboro Hospital, Louisville, where he received excellent care by the wonderful nurses and staff at Four West.

She was a member of the Church of the Nazarene and a retired teacher.

She is survived by her husband, Dr. Robert Allen; daughters, Jacquelyn Smith (Bryon), and Deanna Williams (Mark); grandsons, Stephen, Bradley and Christopher Williams, David, and Benjamin Smith; sister, Joy Vastbinder (Earl), and two nieces.

Her funeral was noon Wednesday, Jan. 28 at Fern Creek Funeral Home, 5406 Bardstown Road with burial at Louisville Memorial Gardens West. Visitation was 4-8pm Tuesday, Jan. 27.

Diana Sue Calvert Diana Sue Calvert, 69, of Mt. Washington, Ky., passed away Saturday, Jan. 24, 2015.

She was the former Sue Jones, a retired Director of Catering at the former Executive West Hotel, an employee of Edward Jones, a member of the Bullitt County Women’s Club, and founder of the Bullitt County Chapter Breast Cancer Support Group. Sue was also a member of First Baptist Church of Mt. Washington, where she was a member of the choir and a former Sunday School teacher.

She was preceded in death by her parents, Benjamin and Virginia Hatfield Jones.

Sue is survived by her husband, Larry Joe Calvert; son, Tim Calvert (Bhanu); daughter, Diana Allen (Robert); and five beloved grandchildren, Robbie, Kanan, Clementine, Zander, and Zaylie.

Funeral services were 11 a.m.

Tuesday, Jan. 27 at McFarland-Troutman-Proffitt Funeral Home with burial in Highland Memory Gardens.

Visitation was 2-8 p.m. Monday, Jan. 26 and after 9 a.m. Tuesday.

Memorial gifts are suggested to her church or the American Cancer Society.

He was the beloved husband and was preceded in death by the late Hilda ONan Fawbush, celebrating over 67 years of marriage prior to her passing in May 2014 and still born daughter Gwendolyn.

He was preceded in death by his parents John Francis and Emily Epperson Fawbush of Louisville, Kentucky and was one of 13 children. Also preceding him were brothers, Shelly, Vernon, George, Chester, Wallace, Don, James Arthur and sisters, Florene (Sis), Juanita, Naomi and an infant sister.

The adoring father of daughter Vicki Elliott (Ray) and son Chris Fawbush (Donna), all of Shelbyville; grandchildren, Jason Huber (Crystal) of Versailles and John David Fawbush of Shelbyville (Hanover); and great-grandchildren, Hudson Graham and Harrison Brooks Huber of Versailles; brother Gene Fawbush (Betty Joe) of Louisville, and many loving nieces, nephews and cousins.

John defined his life through hard work, perseverance, humility and giving. A child of the Great Depression and the ‘37 Flood, his character was shaped by the harsh economic conditions, the wide spread suffering he witnessed, the significant flood damage to the family home, and the loss of his father as a young child. Throughout this hardship his work ethic and character flourished, all while remembering those less fortunate.

He was a proud veteran of World War II, deployed in the Pacific Theatre. During his time, he was engaged in hostile actions during numerous Island reclamations, resulting in the award of the Asiatic Pacific Area Star.

Directing Landing Craft Troopships (LCT) and Landing Ship Tankships (LST) he was continually engaged in beach landing assaults and crucial

J A N U A R Y 2 9 , 2 0 1 5 • W W W . V O I C E -T R I B U N E . C O M

transports in conflicts in the Auckland Islands, Mariana Islands and Marshall Islands. Much of his time was spent in the Philippine Islands, resulting in the Philippine Liberation Ribbon as the islands were reclaimed.

For 38 years he worked in the meat packing industry, starting with Emmert’s Packing, transitioning through a lifetime of work as it became Southern Star, Armour Foods and others; retiring with ConAgra ownership. He was a member of the AFL CIO Local 227.

As a young married couple, he and Hilda fulfilled their lifelong dream of owning a farm, by taking the leap of faith and moving from Louisville to Shelby County. It was a constant education as they learned to grow crops, raise livestock and feed animals all while continuing his work in the packing industry. The fruits of his labor fueled weekends with family from all over the area and memories that impacted all who came. Especially his nieces and nephews, who would spend summers at Uncle Jay’s hunting, fishing, laughing and loving.

He provided a special place for the entire family.

The farm acted as the center of his giving. Together with his late wife, Hilda, he helped transition and raise 22 foster children for the KY Department of Health and Human Services, with the late Kathryn Reed of Frankfort, addressing many tough cases during a time in which programs and support in Kentucky were just beginning to form. Providing them with a great male role model and father figure, and an environment that offered healing for many.

Honor, Character, Integrity, Love, and Compassion exemplified how he will be remembered by all.

Funeral services were at noon Wednesday, Jan. 28, 2015 at the Shannon Funeral Home with Father Jim Trimble officiating. Visitation was 4-8 p.m. Tuesday, Jan. 27th at the funeral home. Burial will be in Grove Hill Cemetery.

Bowled Over By Brady

Some people think Tom Brady is the greatest quarterback alive. They might be right. While his greatest gridiron foe Peyton Manning sits at home, bruised and broken and showing, physically, every one of his years, Brady appears to be the Peter Pan of football – seemingly ageless, while delivering stellar performances, game after game. On Sunday, he will play in his sixth Super Bowl, more than any signal caller in history. Deflated footballs or not, Brady is an all time great, and we should enjoy every player of his ilk.

The Biggest Small Man on the Court

T

hree months from now, Terry Rozier will have already played his last game as a Louisville Cardinal.

There are usually very few things that I feel extremely confident about at this point in a UofL basketball season, but the previous statement is one of those rarities.

The statistics are one thing, but to truly appreciate the superstar status Rozier is in the process of gaining, you have to actually watch him play for a full 40 minutes. Since the arrival of the new year, Rozier has made at least one play in every game that has made me MIKE drop my jaw and exclaim "my RUTHERFORD word" (or some variation), to no @cardchronicle one in particular. It's gotten to the point where he'll do something that would elicit disbelief from the crowd if it came from any other player on the team, but because it's Rozier, it Many Cardinal fans aren't going to only receives standard applause.

No Losses. No Problems. No Kidding.

T

here was a sense of foreboding going into South Carolina’s Colonial Life Arena last week.

Mark Krebs, on KSTV sounded the reminder that Kentucky had gone in there almost exactly six years ago with a 19-0 record, a number one ranking, and a phone call from President Obama.

Catnip STEVE KAUFMAN

Krebs was there, a senior guard watching from the Jarrod Polson seat on the bench.

He saw Kentucky run into a buzzsaw named Devan Downey that day.

Downey, all of 5’9”, zipped in, around and through Kentucky’s defense, throwing up all sorts of shots, hitting most of them, and scoring 30 in a 68-62 UK loss. It was one of the most devastating losses of the John Calipari era here, though, unfortunately, not the last for that team. (Who remembers the name Joe Mazzulla of West Virginia?)

Last year, in more recent memory, the Cats went into Columbia and were shredded 72-67.

South Carolina was in last place in the conference, on its way to a 12-19 season. Calipari was ejected from the game. The Cats slipped from 17th in the polls to 25th. (That’s bordering on NIT territory.) It was the fourth loss in six SEC games, and a 19-point loss to Florida was coming up. It sent Big Blue Nation into a Deep Blue Funk. For a while anyway. (Who remembers the name Aaron Harrison?)

Saturday was a different team, different year, but still a concern. The place was jammed, the

noise level and energy were sky high, and the Gamecocks took a 24-23 lead at 4:31 of the first half. But they had no Devan Downey this time.

Kentucky applied the clampdown, Carolina didn’t score again in the half and never got within 10 points for the rest of the game. In fact, Carolina scored only 19 more points in the remaining 24½ minutes.

This is a different Kentucky team; deeper than in 2010, more experienced than in 2011, much more disciplined than in 2013, more versatile than in 2014.

Better than 2012? That remains to be seen.

So why the hand-wringing? Why was one of the headlines in the next morning’s Courier-Journal: “What’s Wrong with Andrew Harrison?” Why does his coach always seem to be going out of his way to praise the point guard, asserting he’s one of the best in the country?

Honestly, how badly could he be playing?

This team is 19 and zero! How many games has Harrison bungled with his ‘turnover-prone sloppiness,’ his ‘consistently poor shooting,’ his ‘lack of aggressiveness,’ his ‘inattention to the game,’ his ‘refusal to listen,’ his ‘selfishness,’ his ‘poor defense,’ his ‘rotten free throw percentage,’ his ‘complete lack of dependability?’

Answer: None. We must be talking about a different point guard. Because this one is none of those things in guiding a team that has not yet lost a game.

There are just 200 minutes of playing time to distribute among 8-10 players. This is a team that ordinarily scores around 60 points, gets maybe 30 rebounds and 12-15 assists. The

result is that rarely will anyone have a huge statistical breakout game. And whenever someone does step up, someone else seems to step back.

Over and over again, we’ve gone back and forth between praising Dakari Johnson and burying him. The same for Karl-Anthony Towns, Trey Lyles, Aaron Harrison, even Willie Cauley-Stein and Tyler Ulis, the two who are most uniformly praised.

Nobody seems to play evenly well, game-togame. Devin Booker comes the closest.

That’s partly the beauty of a team like this.

There’s always somebody on this endless bench to step forward.

So it’s nice to have a Tyler Ulis come in to give Andrew Harrison a breather. Kentucky hasn’t had that luxury in the past few years. But Ulis has occasionally been out-muscled by bigger opponents. And while he’s quick to the basket, he can be pushed off his route. At which point, it’s nice to have an Andrew Harrison come in to give Tyler Ulis a break.

Enjoy the embarrassment of riches, Cats fans. Don’t whine about them. Who knows when it will be Archie Goodwin and Ryan Harrow again?

NEW RECRUIT Speaking of riches, add a new name to Kentucky’s future. Tai Wynyard is a 6-9 power forward from New Zealand. Wynyard’s parents are both world champion competitive wood-choppers. (Perhaps a first for UK.) He plays on the New Zealand national team – called the Tall Blacks.

Let’s hope he never took any money for that.

We don’t need to go through that again. VT W W W . V O I C E -T R I B U N E . C O M •

Big Step Toward the First Saturday In May

A

notable date on the journey to the Kentucky Derby and the Triple Crown races arrives on Saturday, Jan. 31 with the release of the names of 3-year-old Thoroughbreds that are early nominees to the Run for the Roses, and the elusive three-race series of spring classics.

Horse Sense

You only get one chance at the Derby, Preakness and Belmont Stakes. The races are restricted to 3-year-old Thoroughbreds, and things need to go very well between now and Derby Day to continue the chase of the Derby and Triple Crown dreams.

JOHN ASHER

The early nomination phase for the Triple Crown races ended last Saturday at midnight. The nomination of each horse for the Kentucky Derby, Preakness and Belmont Stakes was required to be accompanied by a $600 nomination fee.

Certain to be on that roster of nominated 3-year-olds released on Saturday is Ralph M. Evans Upstart, a romping winner of the Grade III Holy Bull Stakes last Saturday at Gulfstream Park. A son of Claiborne Farm stallion Flatter based in New York, Upstart had finished third to Texas Red and Carpe Diem in last fall’s Grade I Sentient Jet Breeders’ Cup Juvenile at Santa Anita.

Upstart won by 5 1/2 lengths under jock-

Last week’s deadline is not the last chance to make a promising young star eligible to run in the Derby and other Triple Crown events, but the Derby winner has, to this point, always been part of that early group of nominees.

While looking ahead to this year’s Kentucky Derby and Oaks, fans of the winners of last year’s signature races at Churchill Downs continue to receive encouraging news about those stars.

The San Antonio is circled on a many calendars as California Chrome is expected to face Shared Belief in that race. The Kentucky Derby winner finished a strong third to Bayern in the Breeders’ Cup Classic, while Shared Belief, the 2-yearold champion of 2013, finished fourth and suffered his first career-loss after being compromised at break by an erratic start by the winner.

It looked at one time that Bayern would join that high-powered duo in the San Antonio, but trainer Bob Baffert has all but ruled out that race, as the colt recovers from a foot abscess.

Owners have a chance to earn those fees back in the $2 million Derby on May 2, or by grabbing big chunks of the respective $1.5 million purses available in the Preakness and Belmont Stakes.

J A N U A R Y 2 9 , 2 0 1 5 • W W W . V O I C E -T R I B U N E . C O M

Louisville-born trainer Dale Romans saw one of his young stars emerge as a possible major player for the $1 million Longines Kentucky Oaks on May 1 at Churchill Downs when Forum Racing’s Birdathewire rallied from far back for an upset victory in the $200,000 Grade II Forward Gal, also at Gulfstream Park. Romans is also the trainer of the Forward Gal’s third-place finisher, Taylor S.

Kentucky Derby winner and 2014 Horse of the Year California Chrome worked one mile on Sunday at Southern California’s Los Alamitos. He is set for his 4-year-old in the $500,000 San Antonio on Feb. 7 at Santa Anita.

A late nomination phase, now underway, allows owners and trainers to make late-blooming horses eligible to run with the payment of a $6,000 fee by March 23. And there’s always a last gasp opportunity to make your horse a supplemental nominee at the time of entry for this year’s Derby on Wednesday morning, April 29. The supplemental nomination requires payment of a $200,000 fee.

Still, the release of the roster of Triple Crown nominees and the fact that the Derby Day countdown dropped below the 100-day mark, late week, add urgency to the process of preparing a young star for the spring classics.

Bellarmine's Jake Thelen gets inside against Wisconsin-Parkside defender Zygimantas Riauka.

Taking Opponents to School

Bellarmine senior Jake Thelen led the nation in field goal percentage in 2013-14. He hit 74% of his shots. The 6’7” Covington Catholic grad is averaging 17 points and 10.6 rebounds a game for the 16-2 Knights, this season, and he’s hitting 65% of his field goal attempts. Bellarmine returns home on Thursday, Feb. 5., hosting Truman State at 8 p.m. in Knights Hall.

Take us through the process that got you to Bellarmine?

I played my first year of basketball at Spring Hill College, which is an NAIA school in Mobile, Alabama, 11 hours from my house. It was hard for my parents to get down there to see me play, so I decided to try to get closer to home. Bellarmine was a perfect spot. They had won a championship, and been to a Final Four, and I just thought this would be a great fit for me.

team might be special?

Taylor’s 10 KENT TAYLOR WAVE3 Sports

Have you always shot such a high percentage?

I feel like in high school it was not as high, though I shot a decent percentage. I always had great teammates around me who could pass the ball very well, and were great shooters. We have great passers at Bellarmine, and that leaves me open underneath.

What is the key to making such a high percentage of your shots?

Not trying to force anything. Taking high percentage shots, lay ups, or shots closer to the rim, instead of stepping out for a contested jump shot.

When did you start thinking that this

From the summer. Everybody was here over the summer, lifting, working camps, working out early in the morning, running Louisville's football stadium. I thought from the beginning, when I saw everybody buying in, being here all day, working out, that this team was going to be special.

Who is the best athlete in the Thelen family?

Probably my sister, Heidi. She plays volleyball at Penn State, they just won a National Championship this year. She's a very good athlete, and my younger brother, Nick, who is in 8th grade, is 6'3" and can actually dunk a basketball.

What is the biggest difference between NAIA basketball and NCAA D II? GLVC and the NCAA Division II: it's a lot bigger, more physical, with faster players. There was jump from high school to college. And from freshman year to sophomore year was also another big jump.

Describe your relationship with Patrick McSweeney?

Patrick and I are really close. We both like football, we both like basketball. He's easy to

talk to, and easy going. He's such a great kid, and he's got a huge heart. He's going through a lot right now, and he just wants to be a normal kid, like all of us.

What has he taught you?

He's taught me a lot. He's taught me to never take anything for granted, and to always have a positive attitude about everything. He's up in Philadelphia getting treatment for his cancer, and he's always got a smile on his face.

How special was that day when he played for you guys against UofL? He did our walk through with us, went to pregame meal, got on the bus and went to Louisville with us and played the first minute of the game. It was really special for him, it was a great moment for him. We all wanted him to hit that three ball. It was funny, he was supposed to shoot a lay up, but he told coach he wanted to shoot a three. It was just great for him to get in front of that kind of atmosphere, and feel what it's like.

What are you plans after this season?

I'd like to be fortunate enough to play overseas, hopefully in Australia or somewhere in Europe, and then either come back and try to get into coaching, or try to get a sales position somewhere. VT W W W . V O I C E -T R I B U N E . C O M •

When asked about one of the biggest hurdles she has faced, she said, “The toughest thing I’ve had to overcome was when I hurt my knee in the summertime. It was the junior all star game. I went up to block a shot and hyper-extended it. My mentality was: I hope

22

I didn’t tear anything. I had to bounce back in the middle of the summer. That’s the big AAU period, where all the college coaches come out, and I knew I missed out on a few good opportunities, but I just had to make up for it during the season.” Casey says her mental toughness is the reason why she was able to overcome.

As a leader, Casey believes actions speak louder than words. She says, “What I’ve always been told is that I must lead by example. Some people don’t really respond to words, so I try to lead my teammates by doing the right thing everyday.” She says her parents have instilled in her a strong sense of right and wrong, so she tries to live her life with that in mind. With a humble and lighthearted spirit, Casey says her character is something that is, “Progressing. I’ve progressed a lot as I get older. I’m dependable and trustworthy, and I think I have a loyal personality.”

Casey says sacrifice is how she is able to go above and beyond. She has served as a class officer for four years, and is currently class secretary. She is a part of Black Achievers, and the Fellowship of Christian Athletes at her school. In the church, she serves as an usher, and works in the nursery.

Verbal Scrimmage featuring

MATT JONES Tune into Kentucky Sports Radio with Matt Jones on Talk 1080 from 10 a.m. to 12 p.m. Monday - Friday.

TONY VANETTI Tune into the Afternoon Underdogs with Tony Vanetti on Talk 790 from 3 to 5.30 p.m. Monday - Friday.

versus

Bring Out the Crystal Ball TONY VANETTI: I know you’re going to disagree with me but I really think that it’s a quiet 19-0 for the Cats.

he do? He turned it around that next afternoon.

Just to get back at me, really.

MATT JONES: Well, quiet, in the sense that there hasn’t been any huge moments where people thought they could lose, etc. But they’re still the most talked about team in the country. College basketball is weird this year because we’ve got a bunch of good teams, but only one really great team. I know you loved Neal Brown’s quote about football where he said “We are the show.” But in basketball when it comes to this season I do think that we are the show.

VANETTI: But this year, if you go the regular season undefeated, and I get that Wichita State did it last year…

VANETTI: ESPN is in love with UK, now CBS, I mean Kentucky is the darling. You’ve got a million draft picks on the team, you’re undefeated. I know Virginia is sitting there. Whoever loses first will have a little more pressure on them. But around town, you go to Kroger, you go to ball games with your kids, and the Kentucky fans, there’s not a lot of talk about that, you go “oh yeah, Kentucky is playing tonight.” That’s it. I mean there’s not a lot of drama, the team’s playing well…

JONES: (laughs)

JONES: It’s not the same as when they did it. The SEC isn’t great, I grant you that. But in the SEC even the worst team has got good athletes on it.

And that’s not true in the other leagues. UK would be the first big five conference school to do it since 1976. And yes, he should be national coach of the year. And here’s another question, who is the best player on UK’s team right now?

VANETTI: Well the one most people are talking about is Booker. They love that kid. Right now he’s getting the headlines. He’s moving up the draft board. Is Willie falling off, is that what you’re saying?

JONES: Well there’s no drama, I agree with that.

And amazingly Cal has done a good job of that.

He’s made it such that the only drama is about point-guard controversy that isn’t even real. If you think about it, considering the attention on the team, for there to be no drama really is a testament to Cal. Let me ask you this: if they were to go undefeated in the regular season, should Cal be national coach of the year?

JONES: No, no, no. My point is just to say, this is what’s so amazing about this team. If you ask people who is the best player on the team, you might have gotten Willie, Karl-Anthony Towns, Trey Lyles, Devin Booker, and some people might still argue Tyler Ulis. It’s absolutely crazy with this group. Depending on the moment, it can be a different team. They’ve already had seven different guys lead the team in scoring. But right now Devin Booker can shoot the ball, almost unfathomably well, and I keep worrying he’s only going to play one more year.

VANETTI: Oh, I think there’s no question. I think there’s a couple people you look at, but Calipari – oh my gosh – since the end of the regular last season until now. I think he should get credit for the tweak last year, for as much as we made fun of it. I called him a clown at the end of the regular season last year and took a lot of guff for it. And what did

VANETTI: Okay, but if the game comes down to the end, for Louisville I think everyone wants Terry Rozier to have the ball in his hands, taking the shot, handling the ball. For Kentucky, you’re going to play a tight game coming down the stretch, who is it? Andrew is handling the rock, Aaron is handling the rock, who do you want to have the last shot?

J A N U A R Y 2 9 , 2 0 1 5 • W W W . V O I C E -T R I B U N E . C O M

24

JONES: I think Aaron. Until Aaron misses one, I’m thinking Aaron Harrison. Here’s what they found in the last few weeks, their crunch time line up. It looks to be Ulis, Booker, one of the twins, Dakari and Willis. That’s who they’re going to go with. As far as who takes the shot, it will be whoever is open. This is a different group. There’s no star, but then there are a lot of stars. It’s really strange.

But on the other side, UofL actually played really well this week and looks to be on the upkick. Now their schedule after Boston College starts to get harder, do you like where Louisville is, or is it more a reflection of their last couple of opponents.

VANETTI: We’ve said it since the beginning of the season, the margin for error for Louisville is very small and the margin for Kentucky is very wide; they can have injuries, and foul trouble, and you’re still going to win. For Louisville we know we need to keep the big three on the court and Rick has realized that. He knows the big three players are going to play 40 minutes each game and if either one gets into foul trouble then the chemistry seems to fall off. The Wayne Blackshear as a captain experiment is over. He is who he is, Terry Rozier is a bona fide star, and Trez is great when he plays how he should. They got some confidence back at Pittsburgh. Anyway I saw Coach K got his 1000th win, and I know that you’ve made a living making fun of him. What are your overall thoughts on him?

JONES: He doesn’t seem like a dude I’d want to hang out with, but he’s the greatest coach of all time. I would put Coach K number one because I think it’s a lot harder to do what he does now, in this era. Four titles, tons of Final Fours and the most wins of any coach and with Duke. He’s the greatest coach of all time. VT

EAR ABBY: I am 18, and like most of my friends, I have gone away to college. We have a friend whose life went off track during our senior year because of drinking, drugs and other misbehavior.

She’s now without a place to live or any support system.

broken off by him, and the second by his fiancee.

Dear Abby JEANNE PHILLIPS

She calls us from time to time, and we aren’t sure what to believe or how to help her since we are all in a different place in our lives, and far away. We won’t give her money because we are worried about what she might do with it, but we really do want to help her and be there for her. What is the best approach? -- WORRIED FRIEND IN FLORIDA DEAR WORRIED: I agree that you should not give her money. The best approach would be for you to advise your friend to get into a shelter with social services for homeless women. If she does, she may be able to get into a substance abuse program, receive government benefits and straighten out her life. I’m not saying her road will be an easy one, but it can be done.

••• DEAR ABBY: Is there a polite way to ask a colleague to stop bringing her kids to work? Our offices are next to each other, and the dividing wall doesn’t reach the ceiling. I have to hear them yelling at each other (they are 2 and 4), crying, whining and their mother’s attempts at discipline, etc. This isn’t occasional -- it happens often.

Should I ask her politely to stop bringing them to work? Or should I ask management to shift my office away from hers? -DISTRACTED IN DETROIT DEAR DISTRACTED: Rather than risk a confrontation with your co-worker, this is something you should discuss either with your supervisor or your employer. While I empathize with the woman’s difficulty in finding someone to supervise her youngsters, if their presence in the workplace is disruptive, your needs should be accommodated.

••• DEAR ABBY: I have a family friend whose son has been engaged twice, to two different women. The first engagement was

Each time, his family threw him an engagement party (which he wanted) -- and I was invited to both. Each time, as is customary, I bought a gift for the happy couple. Neither one was returned after the engagement was broken.

The first party was a pleasure to attend. The second one I found slightly awkward, but I wanted to be supportive of my friend. I brought a gift the second time because I didn’t want to be impolite.

If my friend’s son becomes engaged a third time and has an engagement party to which I am invited, am I obligated to bring a gift? -- POLITE PARTY GUEST DEAR POLITE: No. I think by now you have given enough. And considering how your friend’s son’s luck has been after these engagement parties, I can’t imagine his family inviting the same people a third time and expecting them to give him anything more than their good wishes.

•••

DEAR ABBY: I am a widower in my mid-80s and have met a lovely widow, “Diane,” also in her 80s. What started as a “let’s do lunch” friendship has developed into a close, affectionate relationship. Neither of us wants to take this to the next level, but we do want to spend as much time together as we can in the years left to us. We have a very active social life with friends and with Diane’s family who live in the same town.

My daughters, who live in another city and rarely visit, profess to like her and say they are happy that I have someone in my life. But they have asked that I be sensitive to their feelings of loss for my late wife, who died four years ago. They don’t want me to share what we do and where we go, which is hard when Diane is such a part of my life.

My problem is Diane and I want to spend a weekend in the city in which my children live to attend the theater. We will be sharing a hotel room. Do we tell them our plans and that we would like to see them while there, or not? Diane isn’t comfortable going behind their backs, but she also doesn’t want to cause a rift in my family. Neither do I. What would you advise? -- UNCERTAIN IN MARYLAND

45

DEAR UNCERTAIN: Your daughters have told you they don’t want you to share what you do with your lady friend and where you go, and I am advising you to abide by their wishes. If word should get back to them that you were in town and they ask about it, be honest and don’t lie.

And please, live every moment of your life to the fullest in the time God allows, and don’t permit your family to diminish one minute of it.

••• DEAR ABBY: My older sister and I are very close to our “Aunt Lil.” She has always jokingly told us we are “her children, too” because she never had any of her own and was active in our lives growing up.

Aunt Lil is in her late 60s and in declining health. Now single, she smokes two packs of cigarettes a day, but counts it only as one because they are slims. She also has high blood pressure, high cholesterol, etc.

The other day, while visiting with my mom, Aunt Lil started complaining about getting older and said how thankful she is to have my sister and me to take care of her when she’s too old to take care of herself.

The two of us gave each other the “Not me ... you!” look.

While we love her dearly, when the time comes, Aunt Lil will be off to a nursing home or have private home health care.

Should we approach this with her now or wait and blindside her if/when it becomes an issue? -- CAREFUL PLANNING IN CALIFORNIA DEAR CAREFUL PLANNING: Having been so close to you and your sister since you were children, I can understand why Aunt Lil might have expected some kindness in return. However, because the two of you aren’t up to the task, she should be told now. It may provide an incentive for her to take better care of her health.

Even if it doesn’t, it may spur her to think about her assets and planning for her care or supervision should she need it in the future. Because you don’t want the bother, suggest she involve another trusted family member or a social worker to watch out for her if she’s no longer competent to manage her affairs.

"We're really excited," explains Susan M. Smith, director of GuardiaCare. "The event will provide a great cross section of the Louisville food scene." With this year's event looking to raise $88,000 dollars, Smith is urging people to come out and enjoy the festivities.

Beef, chicken and pork, yes – but think duck, rabbit and an array of seafood selections.

A standout on the appetizer side of the menu is undoubtedly the selection of country hams.

Like many items on Ward’s menu their goal is to celebrate the produce on our doorstep, either in Louisville or wider Kentucky. There’s Colonel Bill Newsome’s ham from Princeton, as well as Scott’s from Greenville. And while the meat from Woodlands Pork might hail from West VirginJ A N U A R Y 2 9 , 2 0 1 5 • W W W .

But it’s with the entrees that Shawn Ward’s kitchen truly takes off. A mustard flavored barley crust atop of a perfectly cooked pork tenderloin was fabulous, especially as freshness was provided with a port wine soaked pear to add sweetness and a base of spaghetti cut squash.

While the food is at the forefront of Ward 426, it must be noted that the interior goes far in crafting a dining experience. Black and white tiled floors, reclaimed wood, neutral off-white and creams create a calm and subdued ambience with a classic look. A great wine list and extensive bourbon and whiskey menu is also a highlight courtesy of Agrawal.

If dinner is not the time you want to stop by Ward 426 then they have an equally impressive array of lunch options from a burger (topped with caramelized onion, Morbier cheese and cornichons and arugula) to a simple but still decadent ham sandwich with smoked mozzarella, Black Forest and country ham with a cognac mayonnaise). Of course for the health minded there are salads such as the spinach salad (with roasted beets, applewood smoked bacon and roasted tomatoes), grain salad (consisting of farro, kasha, oats, pumpkin and granola) as well as a fresh and zesty dinosaur kale salad (drizzled with a parmesan vinaigrette).

Put simply, if you want to eat well, enjoy the fineries of Louisville’s and Kentucky’s best raised and grown offerings then Ward 426 is the place. Go there for St. Valentine’s Day, or any other time of year and you won’t be disappointed. VT HOURS: Lunch - Monday - Friday 11 a.m. - 2.30 p.m.

There’s a set of Campbell Soup cans the company released a year or two ago, artistic homages to the Andy Warhol soup cans of the 1960s.

There’s a set of old swords on the wall because, well, “Jared just likes Medieval stuff.”

His collector’s heart extends to a cabinet filled with bourbon bottles, some mainstream, some the very esoteric brands known only to Kentucky bourbon aficionados.

Kalen has so far managed to keep Jared’s “nerdery” confined to just the one room in the house, lest it upset the rest of the family, 10-year-olds Brick, a lab/Great Dane mix, and Molly, a German Shepherd mix. She said they’ve already disconnected the sound on one of those old bird wall clocks, the kind that chimes a different chirp every hour, because it was driving the dogs nuts.

Jared brought Brick into the family, Molly came with Kalen. In fact, said Kalen, they came from the same shelter, two weeks apart, before Kalen and Jared had even met, introduced by mutual friends.

“I guess we’re one of those blended families,” she says.

There’s a pillow on one of the chairs that says, simply, LIVE JOYFULLY. Amidst all the artwork and pop culture, the fun and the games, that seems to say everything about this particular family blend. VT

Germantown I’ll begin with my own neighborhood.

The Germantown area has many options, from morning hours to late at night.

The excellent Nord’s Bakery, on South Preston Street, has doughnuts and cookies aplenty. The Fish House, on Winter Avenue, offers beignets and sausages for a decadent New Orleans style morning snack. For an evening of good G-Town drinkin’, Nachbar on Charles Street, is operational for a late afternoon beer, as is Four Pegs on Goss. Should the fun last into the night, you can make your way down to Oak Street where the new Kaiju dive bar has great beers on tap, with Japanese monster décor, and quite often, live bands. If you get that late-night burrito craving, but shouldn’t drive, do not fret!

It can come to you! Especially if you take advantage of the New Wave Burrito delivery service, exclusive to the area!

‘Round the Lou’ll-vul on Valentine’s Day What is Valentine’s Day for me? I used to associate it with loneliness until I turned it around.

Now I can say with smug satisfaction that it’s the day when my girlfriend and I recognize our anniversary. Every year, we have dinner plans at a different restaurant, but it’ll be a long free Saturday this year, which provides plenty of time to fit in something new. There are plenty of areas in our city to enjoy.

Downtown Downtown offers Louisville Horse Trams for a Victorian-style tour of the heart of our metro area. What a kitschy twist it would be to follow that with a snack or meal at White Castle, where they offer a Valentine’s Day special dining experience, with the formal touch of a decorated dining area, and table service.

Reservations are available. If you’re in the mood for some live music, Fourth Street’s Mercury Ballroom will hold the event, “I Heart Heart” (a tribute to the band, Heart), and will feature some of Louisville’s finest musicians doing renditions of Nancy Wilson’s work.

Highlands If you are soberly enticed to get a tattoo with your significant other, start off on Baxter Avenue in the highlands. Triumph Tattoo and Prophecy Studio is open with skilled artists ready to alter pigment to your specific tastes. Take a drive from there, down the same road until you reach Gardiner Lane, and enjoy the slick excitement of Ice Skating at the Alpine Ice Arena, where hand-holding and balance is essential.

It is also quite possible that a movie will be playing, on which your sweety and yourself both agree. “Fifty Shades of Grey” may be an option, but there’s always a chance Baxter Avenue Theaters will be playing a Midnight Show that particular Saturday night, and if they do, it’s bound to be something romantic.

South End If you find yourself in the South End with a hankering for delicious seafood, look no further than Mike Linnig’s Restaurant, on Cane Run Road, for massive portions of fried deliciousness.

If you’re feeling old and tired… like me, you may feel inclined to visit one of the many bingo halls in the area, such as the one on Greenwood Road, or Charity Hall Bingo, on Stephan Drive. There’s no sense in forgetting some of the best Asian food in our city at Vietnam Kitchen, found in the Iroquois Manor Shopping Center.

St. Matthews St. Matthews has plenty to offer on this special day, from boutiques and shops to its two Malls, and a Cinemark movie theater with “Cinema XD” screens. There’s also Lazer Blaze, off Shelbyville Road, which features an arcade, mini golf, bumper cars and an excuse to shoot at one another. I’ve always wanted to do that.

Pinot’s Palette, on Hubbards Lane, offers painting classes on Valentine’s Day, including one with bottomless Mimosas in the afternoon and a Date Night Dark Chocolate special, where a couple can share a canvas and enjoy desserts, a chocolate fountain and drink specials.

Out & About BENNETT DUCKWORTH

Live music can be enjoyed at Gerstle’s, Tin Roof and Diamonds. Molly Malone’s, on the corner of Breckinridge Lane, offers a D.J. and dancing around 10 p.m.

East End Further into the East End of Louisville, you can find some relaxation at Massage Envy Spa. If all that gets you properly loosened up, failsafe fun can be found when bowling at Kingpin Lanes, off of Shelbyville Road. At Park Place Drive is the Renaissance Fun Park, offering go-carts, laser-tag, an arcade and more. For a lunch or dinner, enjoy the scenic Captain’s Quarters off River Road.

Indiana I can’t end this without mentioning our neighbors across the river. Huber’s Family Farm & Restaurant is worth the trip during the winter – or go to the Derby Dinner Playhouse, which will be showing the rom-com play, “Skin Deep.”

If you’re feeling lucky, the Horseshoe Casino welcomes you. And if you just want to have a GREAT time, go to New Albany and enjoy perfect food, and perfect beer, at the New Albanian Pizzeria and Public House (aka: Rich-O’s/ Sportstime). I’ve never had a bad night there. VT

Where to go When You’re Solo Normally, any bar or restaurant would do for a Saturday night out in Louisville. But since it’s Valentine’s Day and a good majority of the places are going to be saturated with hues of red and pink to cater to lovely couples, here are a few options that I consider both, couple and single people friendly, any day of the year:

Karaoke Akiko’s 1123 Bardstown Road Nowhere Bar 1133 Bardstown Road

Gastropubs Holy Grale 1034 Bardstown Road Rye 900 E. Market St. Four Pegs 1053 Goss Ave.

Independence Day for Single People

By S. PARROTT Contributing Writer

B

eing single on Valentine's Day is all about how you look at it.

While some people get semi-depressed and consider it the most dreadful day of the year to be without a significant other, I see very differently, indeed, and officially declare it Independence Day for single people. You have an entire day to cater to yourself while a good percentage of people in the city are probably running around buying those last minute gifts and clearing out the Hallmark Card section at Walgreen’s. In addition to that, you have escaped having to sit through watching your co-workers squeal with delight at the receipt of red roses and Edible Arrangements because this year, Valentine’s Day falls on a Saturday. You've already won onethird of the day! So what's next?

If you have a couple of single friends who live in the same city, call them up and grab lunch or, why not afternoon cocktails? After all, it's your Independence Day. That’s cause for a celebration and daytime libations are definitely allowed. Or, why not plan ahead and throw a day party for yourself and all of your single friends? While day parties are most popular in the summer, there's noth-

57

ing wrong with mixing it up with a winter version. You can even be inventive and make Single Independence Day party favors, which might include anything opposite of Valentine's Day. Maybe that looks like yellow hearts for friendship as opposed to red hearts for love? Get creative! There’s also the option for a lazy afternoon, including sleeping in, lounging around your place in your pajamas and saving your energy for night time festivities, instead.

If you choose to conserve your energy for a night on the town, I suggest hitting up any great bar, lounge or gastropub, rather than a dimly lit restaurant. However, if you must have dinner prior to bar-hopping, you can either, A) prep a small meal for friends at your place and then be on your way or B) make dinner reservations anywhere before 7 p.m.

Because after 7 p.m, couples will be running this town and a reservation will more than likely be unheard of. Another great option for your Independence Day is karaoke. Not only do you get to sing at the top of your lungs and be unapologetically awful, ladies, you have a wide range of break-up/single girl anthems to choose from. Beyoncé alone has an entire catalog to make you feel empowered.

If none of the above sounds desirable to you, there is one other option: simply treat February 14 like any other day of the year because, honestly, that’s all it is. Remind yourself that when you do find that special someone, you will be loved 365 days a year and that the real winners of Valentine’s Day are the florists, and the candy and jewelry companies.

Romantic Movie Ideas for Valentine’s Day

Film Review BENNETT DUCKWORTH

I

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.

f I have any unique perspective to offer regarding romantic dramas and comedies, it’s that I avoid them.

But I see A LOT of movies. Naturally, I’ve seen some that evoke that feeling inside that everyone talks about.

Among recent classics, I still think “Amelie” is a beautiful bit of escapism, “Silver Linings Playbook” is brutally cute and “Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind” is a masterpiece. Here are a few others, among my favorites, which you may not know – or may have mistakenly avoided.

BEFORE SUNRISE / BEFORE SUNSET / BEFORE MIDNIGHT If you liked Richard Linklater’s “Boyhood” this year, you may also like his trilogy of films that accomplish something similar as they follow the connection between a couple (Ethan Hawk and Julie Delpy) who meet on a train in Austria in the first film, re-unite in Paris in the second, and have a marriage crisis during a Greek vacation in the third. Each film is essentially set over an extended conversation between the two stars. If you’re familiar with the kind of dialogue that fascinates Linklater, you’ll get more of it in these films than any of his others.

STRICTLY BALLROOM Chances are you’ve seen “Moulin Rouge!” and either you hate it, or you adore it, like I do.

If you appreciate the melodramatic flare of Baz Luhrmann’s work, you may like his first film J A N U A R Y 2 9 , 2 0 1 5 • W W W . V O I C E -T R I B U N E . C O M

about competitive ballroom dancing in blue-collar Australia. As in his best films, Luhrmann has a magical ability to establish an over-the-top atmosphere that seems too corny to be worth your emotional investment, until you inexplicably start caring for his characters.

HEDWIG AND THE ANGRY INCH This is possibly the greatest rock musical I’ve ever seen. Based on the off-Broadway stage show, John Cameron Mitchell took his performance and creation in collaboration with composer Stephen Trask, and made a brightly colored film in full cinematic splendor. Hedwig is the transsexual lead singer of a glam-rock band touring restaurants and small clubs, explaining in between songs (and through them) how a poor boy from East Berlin became “the internationally ignored song stylist barely standing before you.”

While the movie is very focused on a misfit’s perspective of love, it manages to communicate on a universal level. Co-starring Michael Pitt and Andrea Martin.

DOWN WITH LOVE This underappreciated gem from 2003 starring Renee Zellweger and Ewan McGregor is a hilarious send-up of Doris Day / Rock Hudson widescreen sex comedies from the Kennedy-era. And no, you don’t need to have seen any of those films to appreciate how well this one mocks the absurd logic found in glamorous Hollywood films about being a little tease in the big city. David Hyde Pierce and Sarah Paulson also steal a lot of scenes.

JOE VERSUS THE VOLCANO Writer, John Patrick Shanley’s (“Moonstruck” and “Doubt”) directorial debut starring Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan was so ahead of its time when it was released in 1990, that most people failed to understand its brilliant existentialist subtext below its goofy surface. This odyssey of a depressed hypochondriac (Hanks –during his more comic years) who finds liberation after being diagnosed with a terminal illness, takes us from a bleak office in the basement of a factory on Staten Island at the beginning of the film, to a tropical island with a volcano at the end. Along the way he meets three women, each played by Meg Ryan (all are amazingly different performances).

The dialogue is brilliant, the direction is masterful and the soundtrack is gorgeous. VT

Kids of Steel

How much time do you he Louisville Leopard spend working with them?

Percussionists have Are they easier to teach than made their name over the younger Leopards, or is it two decades of teaching chila totally different approach? dren about music and other The group rehearses once a life lessons, with a focus on week, on Sunday evenings, and Arts & kids 7-14 years old. But what all the members are incredibly happens to the kids after Entertainment self-sufficient when it comes to learning new pieces. We give them they age out? I asked LeopPETER ards instructor and assistant BERKOWITZ some basics on how and where to hit the pans, what mallets to Peter’s Picks director Meg Samples to talk use, and where all the notes are about the roots of their latest located. After that, they learn by ear, withproduction, an album by smaller spinout sheet music, and we try to arrange all of our songs collectively. We, the instructors, off group Steel Leopards called “Steel ask things like, “Where do you want the song Believin’” What’s different about the Steels vs. the “regular” group?

The main Louisville Leopard Percussionists range from grades second through sixth. In Steel, we take any graduating members of LLP that are interested in learning another percussion instrument, steel pans, and create this overflow group. We were seeing a lot of kids that still wanted to play and create music after sixth grade, so we decided to venture out into steel pans. We have grades sixth through ninth represented, right now, in Steel Leopards.

to go from here?” “Should someone play a solo here?” “How are we going to start this song?” and “How are we going to end it?”

The Steel members already know so much from LLP about form, dynamics, scales, etc., that I really feel like it is easier for them to rehearse and learn new songs. This group runs itself. We, as instructors, are really there just to make sure no one loses an eye during the process.

This is the first Steel Leopards album, right? Whose idea was it?

Yes, this is their first album as a group, and the Steel Leopards only began four years ago.

The members of the group have been wanting to record the songs they have been playing for a while, but this past year in particular, we had a group that was really driven to perfect their songs and put them on one album to have forever.

Do band members ever write their own songs?

Definitely. All of the kids were part of the larger group before joining up with the Steel Leopards. While in LLP, we really encourage them to write their own songs, whether that is collectively or individually, and we end up performing them throughout the year. On the Steel album, “Steel Believin’” we don’t do any original recording, only covers and a few standards. But we hope to do some on future recordings.

How did you select Kevin Ratterman as the producer of the album? How did the kids feel about working in his studio?

Kevin Ratterman selected us! He is probably the most wonderful person in this city, or at least in the top five. He heard the Leopards rehearse one day, and came to us offering to record any of our projects. We immediately thought of the Steel Leopards group. We were beyond excited to get to record at La La Land with Kevin behind the controls. If you haven’t been there, it is seriously magical. The kids had an amazing experience being in such a great recording studio with a professional, and it made us all feel like our hard work as a group had really paid off.

We did all the songs in one day, all live, with everyone playing together in Kevin’s main space. We have a great group; the kids were professional and did several takes of each tune. We listened and chose the best take of each, and that was about it. Way easier than a lot of recordings I’ve worked on. VT
