his wonderful week of snow simply could not stop us from getting the news and events from around Louisville to you – even if the weather has delayed the delivery a bit. With temperatures dipping into the negatives and more snow than pavement on the roads, we certainly hope everyone has managed to stay safe and warm. This week we get real with our feature story on Reel Action, a phenomenal organization that helps spread awareness of the dangers of underage drinking and ways to help prevent it. Like many of our readers – I, too have a teenager on the roads as of this year so this story is definitely one that is close to my heart. Reel Action works with middle and high school students in the Louisville area, utilizing the winning submissions of videos made by the students in 30-second public awareness commercials. The work Reel Action does, with the help of these thoughtful and inventive students can genuinely save lives that may be at risk from binge drinking, drunk driving, and incarceration. It’s serious and important work, and we’re delighted to help them spread the word. In profile we speak with some of the people crucial to this year’s Speed Art Museum Ball during this important phase of evolution for this Louisville institution. I know that I speak for the entire city when I say that I cannot wait to walk the halls of the “new” J.B. Speed Art Museum. The Ball, the most expansive fundraising event for the museum creates a graceful, thrilling and prestigious night to gather together friends, and friends of the Speed. We can’t think of a better cause than arts education, mind-opening exhibits and community building. In sports, Mike Rutherford gets nostalgic about basketball-filled snow days of the past. And Steve Kaufman explores the seemingly all but inevitable perfect season for UK’s men’s basketball team. Perfection is a close-to-impossible goal and yet, as Kaufman reminds us, no team in the last 40 years of NCAA men’s basketball history has had an undefeated season culminating in an NCAA championship. UofL’s legendary Billy Thompson takes our Kent Taylor further down memory lane, as he discusses the old Crawford Gym, and playing against teammates like Derek Smith, and how he struggled with his faith, while remaining true to it, in the end. Around town, Squallis Puppeteers put on what would seem to be one of the very best fetes of the young year, as it hosted its 11th annual Puppet Prom fundraiser. Puppets and actual humans alike danced to benefit this local arts phenomenon, all the while looking back on the always memorable first dates. Throwing off the winter chills by dancing for a cause seemed to be the theme recently, as the Heartstrings Valentine Dinner hosted by the Louisville Boat Club was the place to be if you wanted to boogie and enjoy fine bourbon to live music, all for The Kentucky and Southern Indiana Stroke Association. Romance is another way to keep those chills away and Copper & Kings’ did its part to bring people together at their “Who Says Romance is Old Fashioned?” where libations were served and a phenomenal new art exhibit was on display in the Distillery Gallery which featured historic photos of old fashion Butchertown. Relax and Enjoy!

Winter Storm Octavia Visits The Derby City Powerful snow showers hit Louisville, sending temperatures plummeting, and keeping the kiddos home from school. Some communities were paralyzed by the storm of snow and ice, with hundreds of thousands of homes across the region losing electric service. Governor Beshear declared a state of emergency, as Louisville found itself buried under 10 inches of snow, with more expected. But be thankful you don’t live in Boston, where they have already seen eight feet of snow this winter.

Students at Louisville-area middle and high schools are making certain their peers hear the alarm.

Red Carpet Premiere & Awards Ceremony at Baxter Ave. Theaters

They’ve submitted 149 videos in this year’s Reel Action Video Contest. The winner will get airplay as a commercial on MTV, and many other channels.

CASH Prizes and more!

The 30-second commercials are designed to discourage underage drinking. Now in its sixth year, the contest is coordinated by Seven Counties Services and the Louisville Metro Police Department. Funding comes from a grant from the Louisville Metro Alliance for Youth, as well as donations from the public. The contest is open to students who are 12-17 years old, in Jefferson, Oldham, Bullitt, Shelby, Spencer, Henry and

Trimble counties. All entries for this year have been submitted, and the videos will go online Feb. 21-26 at www. reelactionky.com, where members of the public can vote. The video with the most votes will receive the “Viewers’ Choice” award. Last year’s entries received a total of 36,100 votes, with 10,190 of them going to the winner.

A panel of judges will select winners in seven other categories, and the winners will be invited to an awards ceremony March 8 at Baxter Avenue Filmworks. Organizers are seeking donations of money, gift cards or other items to distribute as door prizes at the ceremony.

The big night “The ceremony is set up kind of like the Oscars,” said Craig Phillips, a prevention specialist with Seven Counties Services. The students who get an invitation to the ceremony are allowed to bring only one guest, because the theater will be packed. At the ceremony, their vid-

Second place winners will receive a $50 gift card, and first place winners a $100 gift card. Every winner will get a trophy. “Most of them come dressed up,” Phillips said. “It’s a big deal for them.” In addition to the “Viewer’s Choice,” the judged categories are: “Policy and Advocacy,” “Art Design,” “Script,” “Sound,” “Most Original,” “Editing” and “Cinematography.” The overall winner will get a $250 gift card for “Best Picture.” A job well done The ceremony has been growing into a bigger event each year. This year, students submitted more than twice the number of videos they turned in last year. “Some of the videos that these kids are doing are pretty professional,” Phillips said. “It’s just like, unreal, the creativity these kids have.” Metro Police Sgt. Ruby Ellis agrees. “These kids are just extremely intelligent,” she said. “What they can do at the high school and middle school age blows my mind.” “It definitely gives them a big pat on the back when they can sit in that theater,” she said. “They get to reap the benefits of all their hard work, on the big screen.” Exciting rewards One reason for the contest’s growth is that some teachers have started making it an assignment. Another reason is the quality and abundance of door prizes at the awards ceremony. The prizes are a big incentive for students to try to make a winning video.

“It gets them excited, gets them involved,” Phillips said. It also lets them know they’re appreciated for the work they’ve invested in a video that could save lives. This year’s door prizes will include an iPad and passes to area movie theaters and bowling alleys. To beef up its door prize assortment, Seven Counties will be accepting donations until March 1. “The more people that can go away with a door prize, the better,” Phillips said. But for most students, preventing underage drinking is what motivates them most to participate. “These kids really take pride in what they’re doing, and they really are trying to make a difference,” Phillips said.

ways to be safe for everybody.” Ellison encourages everyone to do their part to warn people about the serious consequences of drunk driving. “Educate, if you can,” she said. “If you see a kid who you think is underage, and they’re out drinking, out in the roadway, anything like that, call the police. Let us come check it out. Better to be safe than sorry.” Results down the road Ellison said the ultimate measure of the contest’s success will lie in the hard data – the number of fatal or injury accidents involving underage drinkers, and the number of citations police issue for underage drinking. “When those go down, that is success,” she said. “We could do videos all day long, we could have 300 videos submitted,

and if our numbers are still the same, or they go up, then the job wasn’t done.” An uncertain future Putting on the contest takes quite a chunk of change. “There is quite a bit of time involved,” Phillips said. Among Seven Counties’ costs are website development and facility rental for the ceremony. But the grant from the Alliance for Youth will run out after next year’s contest. Seven Counties Services is searching for another grant to continue the contest in 2017 and beyond. VT For more information, visit www.realactionky.com, call Phillips at 502.439.9325 or email him at cphillips@sevencounties. org. Donations may be brought to Seven Counties Services, 101 W. Muhammad Ali Blvd. Please mark the donation for Reel Action and leave your contact information so Seven Counties can send you a receipt for your tax-deductible donation.

Preventing dangerous decisions To promote the contest, Ellison has been visiting schools throughout the area to address the students. “We want to let the kids know that drinking underage has very, very negative effects,” she said. “We want to get that seed planted early, so they continue to make the right decisions as they get older.”

Ghislain is planning some exciting activities and events for the re-opening, but he’s keeping those a close-kept secret and not telling anyone yet!

What an honor it must be for you and Paul to chair the Speed Art Musuem Ball this year, correct?

The Speed Museum Ball is a signature event in Louisville and one of the most anticipated evenings of the year. This year one of the biggest things to get excited about is the variety of musical entertainment. There is literally something for everyone! After dinner, guests can dance to the musical stylings of Burning Las Vegas, and starting at 10 p.m., guests can party late into the night to the high-energy sounds of DJ Sleepy T, in the Rathskeller room of the Seelbach. If you’re looking for something a little more intimate, you can sit back, relax and listen to some classical piano.

Oh, yes we were delighted to have been asked to Chair this year’s Speed Museum Ball. It’s such a pivotal time for the Museum and we are happy that we can support the Speed by ensuring its success. The Ball is the largest fundraising event for the Museum and we hope to raise the bar this year. What have you enjoyed in years past about the Speed Ball? It’s always an elegant, fun and special night with friends! We have looked forward to the annual Speed Ball since we moved to Louisville 13 years ago. Of course, this year is extra special for us since we had a hand in planning the Ball. As someone who is so closely involved with the Speed Art Museum, why do you think it's such a special part of the Louisville community?

Chris Brice, Co-Chairs of the Speed Art Museum Ball Viki and Paul Diaz, and Sarah Brice

The Speed is an amazing place with arts education, unique exhibits and fabulous community events. The new Speed, due to open it’s doors in 2016, will provide a oneof-a-kind venue with indoor and outdoor spaces for art and gatherings. It’s anticipated that thousands of people will regularly pass through the new Speed Museum campus. The potential for the Speed to share art and unique experiences with the community will be endless. How excited are you about the new addition to the museum when it finally reopens next year? I think the whole community is anxiously awaiting the opening. It’s going to be such a transformation from the original Speed. The new contemporary North Building is breathtaking and the art-house cinema is something that this community has needed for a long-time. I hear that it’s going to be state-of-the-art, and has the capabilities to play 16mm and 35mm film, as well as digital movies. Rumor has it that

The Speed Ball is always a special event in the city's social calendar, what can people expect this year and get excited about?

This year the Ball is heavily involved with the West End school, could you tell us about this partnership and what it means for the Speed? As the Speed deepens its commitment to community engagement, we felt it was important to connect this mission to the Ball. Ball committee members and staff volunteers partnered with the West End School on a six-week photography project. Student-created photographs and poems from the workshops will be on display at the Ball and sold during a silent auction, with proceeds going back to the West End school. Finally, why should people come out and attend this year's Speed Ball? To see and be seen, of course! But seriously, you’ll have a blast and support one of the biggest social events of the year. The money raised supports the initiatives of the museum, like exhibitions and programming at their satellite space, Local Speed. Local Speed has kept the Museum in the public eye during its closure and has reached over 17,000 people by expanding their target audience before re-opening. We look forward to welcoming all the guests at this year’s annual Speed Art Museum Ball!

A Closet Full of Treasures

f you’re going to run a store in the bustling heart of St. Matthews, you have to do something to stand out. That’s why one boutique and consignment shop is painted solid hot pink.

Business Profile WES KERRICK

“I figured we needed something flashy or crazy,” says David Olshansky, who owns and operates Dario’s Closet with his wife Rita. At 133 Breckenridge Lane, the store is set farther back from the street than you’d expect, and surrounded by other buildings. “I said, ‘We’ve got to do something for people to find it.’” Bright pink isn’t the only thing that makes Dario’s Closet stand out.

warm and friendly place to come to.”

Around Louisville, there are boutique shops, and there are consignment stores. “We merged the two together,” David says.

Dario’s is the only store in Louisville that carries Kameleon jewelry. The unique brand of jewelry can be customized for every outfit with interchangeable inserts.

The Olshanskys offer two stories of women’s and children’s clothes, jewelry, shoes, home decor, furniture and a host of other items. When you step into Dario’s, you know you’re not in a ho-hum establishment. “We try to give the place the feel of a department store,” David says. “Many consignment stores are just kind of junky.” “We want to make it a

And if you’re shopping for Onesole shoes in Louisville, you’ll also only find them at Dario’s. Onesole shoes feature interchangeable tops that snap on and off of the soles, so you can make your shoes fit with any ensemble. The Olshanskys have already started getting in their spring and summer apparel. Their remaining winter selection – about 600 items – are all marked 75 percent off.

“She’s been keeping me on my toes.” Rita worked for about 15 years as the treasurer for the City of Jeffersontown before retiring. Over the years, she also worked at Stewart’s, Jacobson’s and Bacon’s department stores. David, who managed a life insurance company, served on the Jeffersontown City Council for 25 years. He grew up in Detroit, where his parents worked in the retail business. David said he’d expected to take it easy after retiring, but Rita egged him on to keep going.

The store shares the building with The Feed Bag, a restaurant David describes as the “best kept secret in Louisville.” Dario’s is arranged so the restaurant’s guests walk through the store to get there. They ooh and aah over the merchandise on the way.

Rita started selling bracelets, then shoes, and after three or four years, she decided to open a store.

“We figured those people would be coming into the restaurant and could see our stuff,” David says. “So that was our motivation to buy the place and fix it up.”

“A realtor came in, and he said, ‘Would you be interested in a location in St. Matthews?’”

They’ve been in their current location for about two years. Rita and David have been married for 32 years. He describes her as someone who likes to stay busy. “As long as I’ve known her, she’s always had F E B R U A R Y 1 9 , 2 0 1 5 • W W W . V O I C E -T R I B U N E . C O M

two jobs, and at one point she had three,” he said.

So in 2011, Lyndon Lanes Consignments was born. By 2012, the Olshanskys were looking for a better location.

The building’s occupant until then, The Clothes Horse, was shutting down and ready to sell. So the Olshanskys bought the building, had it renovated, and moved in. They opened for business in early 2013. David says he and Rita depend on each other’s unique areas of expertise to manage the store. “She handle’s the right hand; I handle the left hand,” he says, laughing. VT Dario’s Closet is open Tuesday–Saturday from 10 a.m.-5 p.m. For more information, call the store at 502.893.8880 or check out “Dario’s Closet” on Facebook.

What’s For Breakfast? By MARC MUNROE DION, Creators.com

Because I’m on vacation from my newspaper reporter job this week, I’ve been eating breakfast at my favorite diner every morning. Eggs. Pancakes. Hash browns. Bacon. Ham. Steak. Toast. Coffee. Not all at once, of course. And because my father liked diner breakfasts, I’ve been thinking of him. Though he’s been dead for 27 years, he is much with me. He was a child of the Great Depression. A non-nostalgic World War II combat vet, a bartender and, later, a midlevel manager for a huge corporation where he strove mightily at a job he didn’t like. And he gave me advice, strange quirky advice I could really use. After breakfast this morning, I drove around town a while, puffing a pipe and repeating some of Pop’s advice. For all I know, he “borrowed” some of the advice from other sources, but I heard them from him. Here’s a list.

guys who bet with him drove used Fords. That tell you anything?”

“There’s no place so poor that it doesn’t have one rich person. Somebody’s always got more.”

“If you let your wife buy your clothes, you’re gonna like look a guy whose wife buys his clothes.”

“I never belonged to a union in my life, but I never crossed a picket line, either.”

“If you’re in a Chinese restaurant and the place looks kinda iffy, order the shrimp. Nothing looks like a shrimp except a shrimp.”

“You can talk your way out of fights because people who want to fight are stupid. They get confused when you start talking.”

“Keep an eye on those guys who smile all the time but never laugh.”

“Women don’t care what you do, as long as you do it at home.”

“No man drinks anything with more than two ingredients. And ice counts.”

“I understand a guy who gets divorced and never gets married again. He just didn’t like being married. I don’t understand a guy who gets divorced and marries somebody else. What’s the point?”

“You know how I got to be a sergeant in the Army? Because there are so many idiots in the Army that if you got anything going for you at all, you get a rank.” “Never carry a pen in the pocket of your sport coat. Put in your shirt pocket. If the pen leaks, it’s cheaper to replace a shirt than a jacket.”

“They call a guy ‘the underdog’ because he’s probably going to lose.”

“If you owe a guy $50, don’t try giving him $10 a week for five weeks. Who wants money that way?”

“When I was tending bar, a bookie he used to come in. He drove a new Cadillac every year. The

“Want to know if a guy has money? Look at his shoes.”

“Never tip a bartender with change. It’s cheap.”

“I don’t like baseball. Somebody says to me, ‘That pitcher can throw a ball 90 miles an hour,’ I say to him, ‘Can he do it while somebody’s punching him in the face?’” And always, “Be a brave little boy.

In my more than 20 years in education (11 in public schools and nine in private) I can tell you what students learn (Newton’s Law of Physics, the Pythagorean Theorem, Brown vs. Board of Education) has gone virtually unchanged at any school, public or private, but how students learn continues to evolve (from Encyclopedia to Google search and from a telephone conversation to a Google Hangout).

apply those calculus skills (i.e. apply the integral to find the average value of traffic flow at the intersection of streets A & B). An exceptional math class will teach students how to apply those calculus skills to a relevant problem in the context of the global community (i.e. research and discuss the current trends of the Ebola data, and use the data to develop a differential equation that you think best models the current Ebola trends. Present and defend your differential equation to your peers in Louisville, New York, Connecticut, Texas, California, Indonesia and Germany).

Is the latter really possible? As educators, can we really challenge our students to apply their knowledge in a global context, outside a classroom’s four-walls? Absolutely. One opportunity is through the Global Online Academy. Over 50 schools worldwide including The Dalton School in New York City, Sidwell Friends in Washington DC, Lakeside School in Seattle, Polytechnic School in Pasadena, and international schools in China, Japan, Germany, Africa, Indonesia and Jordan, make up the consortium called Global Online Academy (GOA). Schools that are members of GOA enroll students in GOA courses (Medical Problem Solving, Global Health, Neuropsychology, 9/11 in a Global Context, IOS App Design, Biostatistics, Architecture, Fiction Writing, and Game Theory, are some of the more than 30 GOA courses) which consist of up to 18 students from member schools around the world and are taught by high school teachers from one of the member schools. Students who are enrolled in these courses will be required to peer edit their classmates’ work and collaborate on projects across time zones and international borders. They will be held accountable for doing this weekly (unlike a traditional, one-dimensional on-line course). Should GOA courses take the place of courses taught in today’s classroom? In my opinion, absolutely not. In a technology-driven world full of texting, Facebook, Instagram, Snapchat (and who knows what else is coming), I believe students need face-to-face interaction with teachers and their peers more than ever. GOA is meant to be an education “plus” experience, offering students an opportunity to be an active member of a global classroom, expand their course choices, have their voice heard across domestic and international boundaries, and most importantly, transform their educational experience from great to exceptional.

Snow, Hoops and a Whole Lot of Memories

There was just into the building. It was Troy Jackson, the 400one problem. The snow day had also pushed pound younger brother of NBA player Mark back the planned Science Fair from the night Jackson, who was in his second season with the before (I did not place), which meant all the Cardinals.

he could get some run in with us. While there wasn't a 13-year-old on the squad with the inside presence necessary to deal with this type of pick-up, we all decided it was okay. Jackson scrimmaged with us for a few minutes, and it was wonderful. At one point I attempted to wow him with my trademark move of the period: a completely unnecessary NBA 3-pointer with no defender in my general area. It missed badly and Jackson corralled the rebound himself, which was cool enough. Our allotted time in the gym came to an end, and Jackson parted ways by imploring all of us to make it out to the game the next day and support the squad. It would wind up being his last season at Louisville, but Jackson would go on to make a name for himself in the basketball world through the AND1 Mixtape Tour, where he performed under the name "Escalade" from 2002 up until his untimely death in 2011. He was only 38. The next day Louisville would lose at home to South Florida, another brutal defeat in a dismal season where the Cardinals would experience 20 of them. Still, the biggest memory I took away from that season wasn't one of the many negatives, it was the unbridled joy of playing basketball on a snow day against an actual Cardinal basketball player inside his actual practice gym. The memory also serves as a welcome reminder that life is short, and this, the totality of every season, not the minutiae of individual wins and losses, is pretty fun. We wouldn't love it so much if it was anything less. VT

Everybody knows that’s what this Kentucky team may have in its sites: already 26-0. Everybody also knows an undefeated season culminating in an NCAA championship hasn’t been achieved in college basketball in 40 years.

Catnip STEVE KAUFMAN

But there were times on Saturday, against South Carolina, when all the pieces were functioning so fluidly that it did approach perfection. It was a 77-43 final score, and not as close as the score indicated. Okay, it was South Carolina, not one of those titans – Virginia, Duke, Wisconsin, Gonzaga – that Kentucky might meet in the NCAA tournament. But it almost seemed that when everyone is doing what he can do, what he’s supposed to do, it doesn’t matter who the opponent is.

Once again, Karl-Anthony Towns took over the first few minutes of the game. I think we’ve seen, in the last few games, the maturing and developing of the Towns game we were all led to expect. He’s graceful going across the lane and tossing up that nice jump hook. But now we’re seeing a more muscular play, whether it’s bulling into position for a short layup or pulling rebounds, two-handed, away from everyone else. Nine points and four rebounds in 17 minutes doesn’t begin to describe the game he played. Six of his points came in the first three minutes, UK’s entire output up to that point. But in that three minutes, he looked like he could

Then it was Willie Time. The enigmatic big man played like the guy all the announcers place in the Wooden watch, and all the draft gurus place in the Top Five. He was strong, mobile, and energetic. He got his dunks. He also hit a couple of jump shots. Best of all, he looked like he was healthy and having fun.

Next came the long-range artillery. Smooth and silky Devin Booker hit a couple of threes and Aaron and Andrew each had one. But it wasn’t just the three-pointers, it was finding spots in the defense as the ball rotated, and hitting medium-range twos – what we used to call, in the pre-three-point era, “baskets” – or penetrating for drives. Dakari was back. The bull-like rebounding was finally accompanied by a determination, in close, to go up strong, keep the ball high and get to the basket. An “I’m tall enough, I’m strong enough and, doggone it, people fear me” attitude that could only have come from daily affirmation sessions with Kenny Payne. Did you notice, too, that Johnson hit all four free throws? His shooting from the line is getting better, which allows his coach to keep him in at the end of games. And Marcus Lee seems to be finding his role again, too. He had a nice 19 minutes, a couple of baskets, a couple of blocks and three assists! The Alleys and the Oops were back and everyone seemed relaxed and smiling. Even, mostly, the coach. There were almost no negatives. I joked with my wife that the Sunday sports headline in the

Courier would be “Kentucky Wins - But Ulis Doesn’t Score.” With Trey Lyles back (and looking good), Dominique Hawkins has returned to the bench alongside Derek Willis in their blue warmups. Nobody knows what goes on in practice, of course, but I cringed when I saw Willis acknowledge to reporters a few weeks ago that he’s getting discouraged. Yeah, one thing John Calipari loves is when his players go public. Willis tried to say all the right things, but the poor innocent stepped right into the trap. Saturday would have been a perfect time to give him more than a couple of mop-up minutes, but it didn’t happen and I’m guessing that said volumes about where Willis stands with his coach. I hope he stays at UK. He’s tall and athletic and he can shoot. He could still be a factor in future years. Josh Harrellson and DeAndre Liggins both occupied those seats on the bench, and in the Calipari doghouse, and both ended up starting on a Final Four team and playing in the NBA. Interesting side note: This isn’t the first time Calipari teams have had 25-game win streaks. He’s had 25-, 26- and 27-game streaks, once at UMass and three times at Memphis. And his 2012 UK championship team won 24 straight, between the buzzer-beater at Indiana and the SEC tournament loss to Vanderbilt. A nice note as he’s nominated for induction in the Naismith Hall. Clearly, he must do more than just out-recruit everyone else. VT W W W . V O I C E -T R I B U N E . C O M •

Raymond Spalding attempted a dunk for the Rocks against the annual St. X vs. Trinity basketball game at Freedom Hall.

Interestingly enough, at TrinRANDY ity High School, WHETSTONE JR. the same can be said about their own special Shamrock; senior Raymond Spalding. The 6-foot-9 power forward averages 12.5 points, 8.7 rebounds, and shoots 55 percent from the field. He is a four-star recruit, ranked number 54 in ESPN top 100, and has received over 13 division one offers. As a Louisville native, he will soar higher in his basketball career as a Cardinal. Spalding is one of three major recruits for the Louisville Cardinals and Rick Pitino. Trinity has a plethora of division one signees this season, but he will be the highest recruited player in the history of the school, founded in 1953. With a smooth, humble demeanor, being the highest recruited basketball player in 62 years for such a prestigious school is not something he flaunts. Spalding says, “It’s really a blessing, but I can’t take all the credit for it. I played these four years at Trinity with a lot of great basketball players. You mention dudes like Charles Foster, Darrel Hicks, Craig Owens, and just to be able to play with those guys everyday, each and every day in practice, in games; they really pushed me and helped me get to where I’m at now.” Trinity, coached by Mike Szabo, is currently ranked number one in the state of Kentucky. Szabo has coached Trinity for 13

“I’m proud of him and excited about the last month of the season. I’ve really seen him come along. He’s sprinting the floor harder, he’s posting harder, he’s wanting the ball more, he’s blocking more shots. Our goal is to win a state championship. We’re not hiding from that. I believe that Ray is really pumped up for that too, and it’s showing in his play.” Most great players have played under at least one great coach, and fittingly, Spalding describes Szabo as a father figure.

Szabo believes that progression in Spalding’s emotional maturity and intensity will transform him into an even greater player as he goes on to play for the Cardinals. “He’s going to be playing for arguably one of the best coaches in the world in Coach Pitino and his staff. They do such a tremendous job. I’ve watched practices, and I know what they’re doing with guys like Raymond. I think it’s a perfect fit for him.” VT

“He’s a role model, definitely. Besides basketball, on and off the court, he’s a great guy. In practice, you guys don’t see [him]. He’s yelling, telling us what we need to do and get right. Get after it, compete! That’s the main word that’s always used in practice: compete.”

Dwayne Sutton’s game-high score of 27 points was not enough to save visitors Manual as they fell to rivals Male, 65-54 thanks to Brandon Horne’s 11 fourth quarter points.

Szabo describes Spalding as a joy to coach. With a 3.2 grade point average, Szabo says Spalding is enjoyed by his teachers. As a coach, it’s always great to see a kid blossom into something incredible come their senior year. In his athletic progression, Coach says about Spalding that, “When he first got here at Trinity, he was kind of raw. It’s been fun to watch his development, because he’s developed in all areas of his game; ball handling, passing, shooting, post play, defense, and blocking shots. He really is a fundamentally solid player that I think can do a lot of different things.”

Looking Ahead...

Manual vs. Ballard

Feb. 20 at 7:30 p.m. will mark arguably the biggest regular season game in region seven. The DuPont Manual Crimsons (21-4) will host and try to cool down the scorching hot Ballard Bruins (25-2) who are on a 21-game winning streak, going without a loss since Dec. 19, 2014. Ballard, led by senior Jalen Perry, is ranked first in region seven with an unblemished record, and are ranked number two in Kentucky according to MaxPreps. Manual, led by senior Dwayne Sutton, is ranked number two in region seven, and are ranked number seven in Kentucky, also according to MaxPreps.

With a player with so much potential, Coach Szabo wants Spalding to feel like he’s the best player in the gym when he steps on the hardwood. Spalding will certainly take that passionate preaching on competing with him to college.

The result was a minor shock as Manual’s season record of 21-4 going into the game was in stark contrast to Male’s of 13-12. It was however Male’s third consecutive win over the Crimsons. Male’s Will Parker added 17 points and 10 rebounds, while Alex Cook finished with 13 points, eight rebounds and six assists.

Important Names, Tradition Honored in Churchill Downs Derby Week Stakes

he annual celebration of the Kentucky Derby is a multi-layered affair, but remembrance and recollection of the Derby’s tradition and history are essential components of a race that has been held without interruption since its debut in 1875.

his more than 20 years of riding beneath the Twin Spires, a few critics of the changes for the Derby Trial have bemoaned a tinkering with tradition.

Horse Sense

That sentiment is understandable, and it was my personal stance in recent years.

JOHN ASHER

With that mission in mind, Churchill Downs will honor two very important figures in the history of the Kentucky Derby and the track during Derby Week with stakes races during those festive five days.

Its history is unquestionable: eventual Derby winner Black Gold won the first Derby Trial in 1924, and Calumet Farm’s storied “Jones Boys” – Ben and son Jimmy – prepped seven Derby winners in the trial, which was run on Tuesday of Derby Week during its glory years in the 1940s and 50s. The Calumet winners included Triple Crown winners Citation in 1948 and Whirlaway in 1941.

New names on a pair of the Spring Meet’s roster of 25 stakes events are named for jockeys: one a member of Thoroughbred racing’s Hall of Fame and the other who probably should be enshrined in that facility.

But the most recent Trial horse to play any type of significant role in the Derby was Don’t Get Mad, who won the Trial and finished fourth to 50-1 shot Giacomo in the 2005 Derby.

A race known through its history as The Derby Trial, long the final prep for the Kentucky Derby has been moved to Kentucky Derby Day and renamed the Pat Day Mile. The new name honors one the greatest riders in American racing, the all-time win leader at the home of the Kentucky Derby and a treasured citizen of Louisville, which he adopted as his home when he decided to make Churchill Downs his home base in the mid-1980s.

So a change was needed and has been named, and the race now honors Day, the Colorado native whose more than 8,000 career wins included a record 2,482 at Churchill Downs. One of those victories was the 1992 Kentucky Derby, in which Day piloted W.C. Partee’s Lil E. Tee to the win for Churchill Downsbased trainer Lynn Whiting. Day also enjoyed Triple Crown success in the Preakness, which he won five times, and the Belmont Stakes, a race he won on three occasions, and is one of the most dominant riders in the history of the Breeders’ Cup.

The other race is a new one: a six-furlong sprint set for the April 25 “Opening Night” program and named in honor of William “Billy” Walker Sr., one of the great African-American jockA new Churchill Downs eys who dominatstakes races honors jockey William Walker, ed the Derby in its a former slave who won early years and played the 1877 Derby aboard a strong role in KenBaden-Baden. tucky’s horse industry throughout his life. Three African-American jockeys won the Derby and earned enshrinement in the Hall of Fame, and my hope is that Walker might make that group a foursome not far down the road. While acknowledging Day’s massive shadow over Churchill Downs racing during F E B R U A R Y 1 9 , 2 0 1 5 • W W W . V O I C E -T R I B U N E . C O M

Walker also has a single Derby win to his credit – a triumph at the age of 17 aboard

1877 winner Baden-Baden. But he also piloted Ten Broeck to victory in the famed match race with California-based Molly McCarthy at the Louisville track in 1878 – a race remembered today in the Bluegrass music chestnut “Molly and Tenbrooks.” He was leading rider at six of the track’s first 13 meets. Upon retirement from the saddle, Walker became a trainer and later he was a key bloodstock adviser for famed Lexington breeder John E. Madden, who bred five winners of the Kentucky Derby. Born a slave, Walker spent most of his life in Louisville. But his career expanded well beyond the city and touched all facets of Kentucky’s horse industry. The debut of the William Walker Stakes will remind racing and the entire community of a man who, like latter-day hero Pat Day, had a significant influence on the Derby, Kentucky’s horse industry and life in our region.

Remembrance of Dunks Past My trip to Miami to talk with the former UofL star, Billy Thompson, included plenty of talk about his current situation as the pastor at JP Proclaim International Church, but also plenty of talk about his time in Louisville. He played on the team that won the “Dream Game” in 1983, and then lost in a thriller to Houston and Phi Slamma Jamma in the Final Four, and of course, on the 1986 National Championship team. It was the heyday of UofL basketball, four Final Four’s in seven seasons. What do you remember about Crawford Gym? Crawford was like playing back home in the hood, a small gym, a bunch of people piling in. It was like playing summer league back in Camden, in the high school gym. It was a show, and that's how summer league is;people looking for the dunks, the great plays, the trash talking, and we did it all in there. That's what really makes the team and the players: busting each other up. That's what makes you good.

What is he doing now?

Taylor’s 10 KENT TAYLOR

Kevin is a police officer in Camden County and he also works with the YMCA. He also works with kids, organizing sports in the city. He's got a good group of guys around him.

Mr. Relentless. He's had the energy and the ability to back up his trash talking, that's the problem. He could talk trash, and then he was right there backing it up. It was like a championship game. What was your first experience there like? Before my freshman year, we were playing there in the summer and the ball hit the back of the rim, and it just took off. I was ready to go get it, and all of a sudden, Charles Jones jumps, and Rodney (McCray), were up in the air, and I was still on the ground. They were gone, and right there in Crawford Gym my rebounding went to another level. I said, I gotta get up, I gotta go get it quicker. I loved rebounding because of that. I knew how to time it. It's a skill. You have to read the bounce of the ball, the angles. You saw Kevin Walls in high school, which turned out to be his prime, before the injuries, how good was he? Kevin was one of the greatest players to ever play high school basketball in America. He averaged 44 a game, he hit 100 twice in a game. He was so incredible, Kevin would steal the ball, get right over half court, and as soon as you went to half court, he'd just stop, right there and shoot it and run back. It was just all net. He was strong. He was strong enough to just carry people on his back while he was driving.

When he came, he had this big strong body, but he wasn't physical, though he could shoot that sweet jumper.

Was there ever a time when you considered coaching?

How did you get from the Lakers to the Heat?

There was one point, while I was pastoring. My friend, World Wide Wes (William Wesley), you know we grew up together, and then he started traveling with me and Milt when we went to Louisville, and then he knew a lot of UM guys. Rick and I were talking, and there was an opportunity for a UofL player to be one of his assistant coaches, so I was considered, but I was pastoring. He's a great coach, great guy, like Denny Crum, a great coach and a great guy.

I got hurt the first playoff game with the Lakers. I stole the ball, and I was running down to dunk it, but before I could dunk it, Mo Martin knocked me out of the air. So I was on the ground, hurt. Mo was my teammate on the U.S. team, when we went over to Japan. I couldn't play the rest of the playoffs, I couldn't play the rest of the summer. I couldn't play in the fall, the start of next season. My knee was still hurting when I tried to jump. I tried 10 games the next season with the Lakers, but I couldn't get off the ground without pain. That's when Jerry West said, “Man, we've got to trade you. We don't want to, but we've got to trade you, it's been a year and a half.” I said, “I understand, Jerry.” I thought I was done. I was going to the best doctors that the Lakers had set up for me and I wasn't getting better, so one day I came into my condo, and I was feeling like I was going to give up on Christianity. I was going to become a Muslim, after talking with Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, and the people out in L.A., and I heard a voice that said, ‘Whatever you do, don't give up on the name of Jesus.’ A week and a half later I got a phone call and it was the Miami Heat saying that they had just picked me #1 in the expansion draft. VT

WAVE3 Sports

What is it like when you see that you have Derek Smith guarding you?

I always thought Kenny was one of the best shooters I ever saw, because he could bank it from anywhere. Is that the way you remember his game?

Do you stay in touch with Wes? I stay in touch with Wes most of the time. He's my friend. No matter what is going on, he's my friend. How much have you stayed in touch with Coach Crum? Coach Crum and Wade Houston both said that they'll be on the honorary board of my foundation, which I started last year. So that's a great thing, because I stayed in touch with Coach. Wade is like a big brother. I always looked up to Wade because he always gave sound advice to all of us. Wade and his wife were like a mother and father to us while we were there. I love him. What is it like when you see Kentucky games and Wes is in the front row and Kenny Payne is on the bench? I'm so happy for Kenny. He took that route, assistant coach, and he had the temper for it. I remember when he started, he was travelling, moving, making it work. A lot of times we succeed in the things that we love because we don't mind working overtime doing it, because we love doing it.

The Importance of Being Perfect MATT JONES: Kentucky are 26-0, the best start to a season in school history. Tony you’ve got to love watching these Cats. Don’t they just warm your heart?

he made. And now a year later he’s nominated for the Hall of Fame, undefeated, has the best team in the country.

TONY VANETTI: No, they do warm something, but it’s not my heart. It’s a good basketball team, they own college basketball, right now, so you have to give credit where credit is due. Calipari is basking in the sunlight. He was nominated for the hall of fame, on top of all that. He’s having a year like the one Rick had in 2013 when Pitino won the national title and was inducted in the hall of fame. This is a great basketball team. It looks like they play around with teams and then just close them out.

has changed with just Rick and Cal and where they are now. You asked me years ago, ‘Can Rick surpass Cal in anything ever again?’ and I said ‘Of course he can, because things can change.’ UK went to the NIT while Louisville went to win the title. At this time last year, Rick’s system is the one that worked because you develop a player and Cal’s system doesn’t work because the freshman just can’t deliver. Then boom, one year later and UK are the toast of college basketball, and who knows, one year from now it could flip again.

JONES: I’m not sure that I’ve ever seen a team dominate the press in college basketball like Kentucky has this year. Let’s think about where we were a year ago. One year ago they lost at South Carolina, Cal got kicked out, there were writers who were saying Cal’s system doesn’t work, he’s going to have to lay in the bed that F E B R U A R Y 1 9 , 2 0 1 5 • W W W . V O I C E -T R I B U N E . C O M

VANETTI: There’s no doubt. And much

It’s doubtful though, because the thing with Calipari is that you bring in recruiting classes that every year can be really good or bad, but with Rick it’s much more of a slow build, and you’ve got to look at the future and wonder what’s going on. If you’re JONES:

looking at Louisville’s basketball team, the future does not look bright. VANETTI: Yes, but I want to stay positive. We’ve been there before, where Louisville has had bridge years, and they end up having a pretty good team at the end of the year. You don’t know what these freshmen are going to do next year. But you’re right, the three best players on this team are not coming back next year, and the bench has struggled most of the season. They are averaging about a bucket a game and that’s not good. Next year, Mitchell had better be a good one, that is the guard that Rick has recruited and hopefully Quentin Snider can improve, so that the backcourt can be something. The three 7-foot players that Louisville brought in this year have not turned out to be the guys they thought they were, yet. So hopefully one of those guys can step up and be better than this year. JONES: If there is one thing you guys do well, it is recruit awkward big men. But you mentioned three guys not coming back next year, one of those might not even be on the team this year. What did you make of the Chris Jones suspension? VANETTI: You know there have been rumors and talk that Chris Jones has been a little disruptive in practice, and that there might be something there. Sure enough, he was suspended earlier in the season and now again, he didn’t make the trip to Syracuse. There is nothing positive out of that. Louisville has three good players. You can’t take one of them away and think that chemistry is going to make up for his

points and production on the floor. They need Chris Jones in the tournament. JONES: It’s strange to me, because the last three years the team has been characterized by good teammates and guys that chip in and all that jazz. There has been a lot of talk that Jones and Montrezl Harrell hate each other, and if they don’t hate each other off the court, they sure seem to hate each other on the court. I don’t know why that all seems to be falling apart. Maybe it’s that Peyton Siva played such a huge role. But back to Kentucky, what are the chances of them now going 40-0? VANETTI: First of all I don’t want to dismiss the suspension of Chris Jones. It is a big deal, and they need to get it fixed. If they are to make a run, they need him. But

as with Chane Behanan and Kevin Ware, it’s also not worked out in the past. As for Kentucky, I have no doubt they will go 40-0 this year. I even think that some UofL fans are cheering for Kentucky to go undefeated, and I’m with them on this. I think it’s tougher for them to go undefeated and that the pressure will build for them at the end of the year. JONES: I don’t. I don’t think it matters. Whether they go 40-0 or not this has been a historic season. Once they beat Tennessee, and go 26-0 you see a historic ride. Maybe they drop to Arkansas or Georgia, but it’s kind of hard to see it happening. When it comes to the tournament, if Kentucky play the way they should they won’t lose. If however they have a bad game, it’s

not like they are unbeatable; they’re beatable. VANETTI: What I think should happen is: Cal should go undefeated, win a national title, go to Cleveland and coach. And I think you guys should make things right with Billy Gillispie and maybe a sober Billy Gillispie can continue what Cal has done. I think you need another stab at Billy G. at Kentucky. JONES: So, here’s what you hate, the fact that Cal is not going to leave. The Cavs are winning and the people in Kentucky are the biggest Cavs fans, because every time they win it’s more likely that Cal stays, and retires here, and pesters you and Tommy Jurich for the next six or seven years.

Unfortunately, we are there for just a day. It is one of our favorite places. This will be our fourth visit. The sea days passed pleasantly as we read, went to the movies, heard fascinating lectures from such as the right hand man and photographer for the late Steve “Crocodile Hunter” Irwin, who gave us two days of movies and outtakes from their TV programs about animals in the “outback.”

The day we arrived, I was on a mission. The Balinese craftsmen make the most beautiful straw mats and handbags. They last for years, never go out of style, and are hard to find anyplace but Bali. They have a distinctive smell of scorched straw, and have woven designs. I couldn’t find them last year, but this year we were told by one of the ship’s Balinese servers to go to the village of Sukawati. Our friend Milly wanted to go too. We docked, grabbed a taxi and told the driver what we wanted. We were on our way through town with chickens, kids and dogs scattering. We found them! It was HOT and decisions were hard to make. Finally we settled on our choices and were back in the taxi, and headed “home”. The port also had interesting “stuff,” so we browsed there, and came “home” to the ship. We cooled off, served a delicious lunch and took a nap. We needed to rest up for dinner! VT A new fountain in the middle of a street in Bali.

A Fashion-Fantastic Fundraiser With the recent snowfall that swept through our city, it’s hard to imagine that the Kentucky Derby is only months away. But, next month begins a series of Derby festivities that will fill our social calendars, and will lead us to the most exciting two minutes in sports. One of the most anticipated events again this year is the Gals and Guys Hats and Ties annual fundraiser, at the historic Churchill Downs, benefiting Dress for Success. Honorary co-chairs and board members Julia Carstanjen and Dana Johnson promise another high-fashion event with top fashions from our local boutiques! There’s no better place to check out the latest trends for the Kentucky Oaks and Kentucky Derby. I caught up with Julia and Dana to find out details about this year’s event and the best place to purchase tickets.

What should I do? -- UNSURE IN The New Yorker says the amount to be split is the cost of the fuel from New York to TEXAS DEAR UNSURE: Because your friend is afraid to tell her family, she should talk to a counselor at school. The family will have to know soon because her pregnancy will become obvious, and she will need prenatal care so her baby will be born healthy. I don’t agree with your parents that you should “cut her off.” She needs friends right now -- and you can learn much from watching this scenario from the sidelines. Stress to her how important it is that she graduates from high school, because if she keeps her baby, she will need to be able to support it. Your state department of social services should also be contacted for guidance. ••• DEAR ABBY: I am engaged to a man, “Keith,” who has numerous female “friends.” I suspect they are something more. Recently, during my second pregnancy, one of his “friends” decided to follow me, but would never say a word to me. When I tell Keith I am uncomfortable with these women, he says I have “no right to dictate his personal life.” I want to know if I’m wrong for not wanting to have to deal with these “friends,” even if they were his friends before we got together. -- ADRIFT IN LOS ANGELES DEAR ADRIFT: Listen to your gut. If one of Keith’s “friends” was stalking you, your feelings about her are probably accurate. You have already had at least one child with your fiance. Recognize that Keith won’t change much if you manage to drag him to the altar. If he is telling you now that your feelings don’t matter (“you have no right to dictate his personal life”), I hope you real-

DEAR ROAD WEARY: Really? If you two can’t agree on your own, I have a suggestion for you: Cancel the trip. If you do, it may save the friendship. ••• DEAR ABBY: I am engaged to “Tony,” whom I have known since first grade. We live with his mother under the same roof, but in separate rooms. Tony is perfect in every way except one: He’s a restless sleeper. Sometimes he wakes up shouting. He has fallen down the stairs and woken up in different rooms. He talks in his sleep as well. I thought I could live with it, but a month ago things changed. I came home late and he was sleeping downstairs. I think he thought I was an intruder. He woke up and ran at me. He started trying to hit me and was shouting. I was screaming and crying, “Honey!” over and over to wake him up. He says he would never hurt me, but when he ran at me, it was clear he didn’t recognize me. For a week after that, I slept with a barricade against my door. Now I’m terrified of him when he’s asleep. I know it’s only a matter of time before we move out on our own and will be sleeping in the same room, or trying. How can I get over this fear or help him to sleep more soundly? -- COWERING IN CALIFORNIA DEAR COWERING: You can help your fiance by getting him to a sleep disorder specialist, because that’s his problem. Frankly, I am surprised he hasn’t seen one before

now. His doctor can refer him, or he can go online to find one near you. Please don’t wait until something like this happens again, or he hurts himself falling down stairs while sleepwalking. ••• DEAR ABBY: We are a group of 10 friends, all retirees from the same large organization. We meet for lunch every few weeks and enjoy talking amongst ourselves about people we knew and situations that took place in our old jobs. A supervisor many of us had work issues with is about to retire. We are concerned that it’s only a matter of time until she approaches us and wants to join our lunch group. We have thought about saying it’s “loose-knit” and “we have no formal time or place,” but that’s not exactly true, and we’re sure she wouldn’t be deterred by that. I wish I had the nerve to tell her the group is for us rank-and-file employees -- no supervisors allowed. Because we may run into her from time to time once she is retired, we want to be gracious but assertive about our refusal to have her join us. Advice? -- GROUP MEMBER IN THE SOUTH DEAR GROUP MEMBER: If the woman approaches you (keep in mind that your worries may not materialize and you may not be asked), remember she’s no longer your supervisor and can no longer affect your life in any way. If she asks if she can join you, you should tell her no. And if she asks why, explain it to her exactly as you explained it to me. It’s the truth. (As we sow, so shall we reap.) ••• DEAR ABBY: Does a male in his own home, walking around bare-chested, have to put a shirt on when someone is going to enter the home from the outside? -- DAVE IN FLORIDA DEAR DAVE: If there is any question that the person entering your home might be offended, out of consideration, you should cover up. A close friend or family member might not mind, but it’s better to err on the side of caution.

The Fish Fry Guys

he Sixth Annual Fish Fry Challenge kicked off with a bang, thanks to our friends at Good Tastes Shepherd. This historic parish located JEFF TONY on Rudd Avenue is AMES COLYER a "must try" for anyone searching for the town's best Fry. And, as it happens, we are. So we ventured out to Portland for Week One, and not a single regret FRIENDLINESS was had. FISH Good Shepherd's large fish sandwich is a pile of two thick, flavorful patties served on your choice of bread. This sandwich is perfect for the Fry Guys' mission to find "bang for your buck." With a generous portion that's crunchy and delicious, the bar is set high for this category for 2015. Fryars’ Score:

SIDES/DESSERTS Good Shepherd still boasts some of the best rolled oysters in town, and for only $2.50. The cake wheel was poppin', and the Fry Guys were able to score a box of delicious homemade chocolate cupcakes. Don't hesitate to ante up the extra charge for the onion rings. Fryars’ Score:

BEVERAGES Nothing washes down a fried fish sandwich like an ice cold domestic, and Good Shepherd was rollin' 'em out at a very reasonable $2 each. Bottled water and soft drinks are only a buck, and ice tea is complimentary, including sweeteners. Fryars’ Score:

The warm welcome at Good Shepherd is almost overwhelming. A lot of these folks grew up in the neighborhood, and they return from all over town to batter fish and onions or serve drinks. The pride in their parish and their craft is apparent, not only in the food but in the people making it happen. Fryars’ Score:

VENUE: Good Shepherd is what the Fry Guys think when we think "Fish Fry." The fry is hosted in the spacious Lehmann Hall, next door to the church. Seating was plentiful, despite the steady flow of patrons. Fryars’ Score:

OVERALL Fry-goers come from near and far to enjoy this one. With friendly people, great food, and cold beer, it's a venue we are fortunate to have found a few years back, and it's a fry that'll stay in the rotation for years to come! Fryars Score:

On Saturday, the founders plan to increase the number of food trucks on-site from last year to give patrons more options and more chances to secure food before it all sells out. PHOTOS BY TIM VALENTINO | CONTRIBUTING PHOTOGRAPHER

Saturday is the big day, of course, and so the fest will be bigger in many ways on that day. “Where to start?” asks Gainey. “Last year, we had around 45 breweries and over 150 beers. We are up to 56 breweries now!” Mayor Greg Fischer will appear to bless the fest on Saturday. Back in November, the LAGERS Homebrew Club held a competition to brew the first Official Tailspin Ale at Apocalypse Brew Works, whose owner Leah Dienes is a longstanding member and success story. That product, the Spit Fire Ale, will be available from title sponsor Liquor Barn, which is also donating money to the Dare to Care Food Bank on behalf of Tailspin. A raffle will also benefit the Bank. More American music will be pumped out by the Whiskey Bent Valley Boys and the Solid Rock’it Boosters on Saturday. A Kentucky Heritage Section will feature brewers statewide. Gainey notes that they are also working with Uber, and ends on a more sober note.

“Please note that we want people to drink responsibly … Guests will be able to leave their vehicles until noon the following day.” VT W W W . V O I C E -T R I B U N E . C O M • F E B R U A R Y 1 9 , 2 0 1 5

Running from February 18 until March 4, it’s fast becoming one of the most anticipated periods in the city’s culinary calendar. We caught up with Lea Rhea, Vice President of 502 Restaurant Week to get the lowdown on this year’s event.

create a date night, where three hotels would offer special rates during restaurant week if you wanted to expand your meal to a night on the town.

Favorite RESTAURANTS at a great value!

What is 502 Restaurant Week? Well, what we do here in Louisville is we gather a bunch of amazing restaurants to create a special three-course meal at a special price of $50.20, either per couple, or per person, and then the diner can go directly to the restaurant and enjoy a great meal at a great price.

It’s obviously become more and more successful each year.

Restaurants prepare a special 3-Course menu for $50.20 per couple or $50.20 per person, depending on the restaurant.

Yes, for sure. We’re gaining more and more recognition for the event, and more restaurants are coming on board, as well as more diners. The media has really jumped on board, and loves to talk about Restaurant Week because after all, people really love food! Could you discuss which charity will benefit from a portion of the proceeds from the event?

he Gheen’s Science Hall and Rauch Planetarium is the choice destination for anyone seeking a place in our area where the universe can be discussed and visualized. On the north side of The University of Louisville’s Belknap Campus is a structure of thoughtful architecture containing state of the art technology to bring the stars closer, figuratively speaking.

Out & About

ity doesn’t require a pretentious presentation. There’s a feeling of informal fun allowed with this new technology.

“Well, now it’s all built into the projector, so it’s all video projection instead of a janky old star ball.” She laughs.

They alternate between Star shows and Laser shows every weekend date of operation so people have the option to see different types of shows in the same night.

“Hey. That thing was cool,” Hornbeck interrupts.

BENNETT DUCKWORTH

Along with a cool courtyard and lobby, featuring a video screen displaying regularly updated HD NASA imagery, the planetarium dome offers very informative demonstrations in astronomy, which greatly surpasses what I saw as a kid on school field trips. Aside from this, they continue laser shows, which will never lose their mesmerizing effect. What I saw was a live astronomer presentation where the planetarium is operated manually, showing constellations as Jeremy Hornbeck stood at the front, guiding us through our galaxy and beyond. Afterward, I asked him if the dizziness ever goes away. “Oh yeah,” he says. “I can stare at that thing. You can’t make me dizzy.” Hornbeck is pursuing his degree in astrophysics. He loves working in the dome, presenting shows for field trips and weekend attendees. It’s obvious that the planetarium’s modern interactiv-

“Laser shows are often chosen at the end of a school year as kind of a reward for the kids,” says Drew Foster, Technical Coordinator of the facility. “(It’s) a nice thing to do on a Friday or Saturday that has no educational value. You want to let your brain relax and have fun.” The laser used to be involved with star shows. “The laser was originally installed as an addon to do the constellations in full color. Now that we’ve renovated the theater to a full dome digital system, we don’t have to use it for that. Originally the laser was just as instructional as the star machine and the lectures.” Physics major Brianna Osbrooks has been working at the Science Hall for five-and-a-half years and operates the planetarium projection system. “With the old projector we had when we were doing live star talks, our star ball projector was literally a ball with holes poked all the way through it and it just shot beams of light out in the exact positions where stars were,” says Osbrooks.

Foster feels they have a cooler one now. I asked if anything has been lost in the transition to digital star shows. “Oh no,” Foster immediately responds. “We gained multiple hundreds of percent. It’s the tool and how you use the tool.” Elaborating on the changes he adds, “We went from a partially covered dome with multi-media video and mechanical stars to now covering the entire dome with the video presentation. The stars are there, but now there’s nebulae and supernovas, and all the great Hubble-esque pictures, and videos you see now can be there, immersing the audience.” “With the new system we can produce our content in a very timely fashion,” says Foster. He’s been with the facility since the year it was built. Sci-fi fans might appreciate how that year was 2001. “All of the architecture has a teachable astronomical meaning,” Foster explains as we walk through the lobby and out to the courtyard. “When you’re standing in our courtyard, you’re standing on a five-pointed star, the way the entire building is constructed.” This can easily be seen by airline passengers who get a view of the University when arriving at Louisville International. The concrete of the courtyard is also a 1:1 representation of the solar system. The circles are the planets and dwarf planet in their sizes relative to one another with the tenth circle being the sun represented in the surrounding brick wall. The wall is also an operational Stonehenge. “The large window points to the north so you can orient yourself (with) north, south, east and west,” Foster says. They also have a public Solar telescope for people to safely observe the sun. One of the points regularly made during the star show, is that living in a city prevents us from seeing so many of the night sky’s wonders, which ads value to a planetarium’s most basic of simulations. Considering how often teaching standards change or new discoveries are made in the sky, changes can be adapted swiftly now and presented with the fun enthusiasm of this place.

Tender from Tinder: Part 2

showed up for my Tinder date late and slightly drunk. Instead of going to the yoga class I wanted to attend my sister and her husband held me captive at Monty’s where we did shots of Cachaca on an empty stomach. I ate some shrimp, trying to minimize the effects of the alcohol.

leap out of your seat and shout, “I’m done with you!” and casually walk out, like the dating equivalent of the “Gong Show.”

Bachelor Behavior R. CHASE

People in Miami drink just as much as people in Louisville, but they don’t seem to ever eat anything, which is a dangerous combination when you’ve been at the beach all day during jellyfish-mating season. Blonde looked better than her picture, but worse than I’d hoped in a town with the highest percentage of hot women in the country. There was a slight odor of criticality that wafted about her bleached hair like musky perfume. “Your jacket doesn’t fit,” she said, casting a baleful eye across my sport-coat, which ironically I’d just picked up from the tailor. Luckily the Cachaca buffered me against this personal attack, so I let it fall off the shoulders of my (apparently) ill-fitting suit.

Most of the people you meet on Tinder might be decent in reality, but their mobile-app personality is different. Everyone is on guard. Everyone is looking to step over to the next (better) person. It’s just temporary until you find a real person to date.

I ordered the Branzino for dinner, which prompted insult number two. “Why are you ordering fish? Are you anorexic?” I was starting to get the impression that there was some kind of agenda at work. Who aggressively sets up a Tinder date so they can insult the guy they asked out? But I was determined to play this bizarre scene out until something interesting happened. I was paying for dinner and I desperately needed entertainment. After eating my dinner and most of her French fries, just to prove my lack of “manorexia,” she invited me back to her place, only on the condition that I couldn’t stay long and we had to buy wine on the way.

After insult number one I decided to ease into some light conversation and found her to be knowledgeable, intelligent, and extensively traveled. Despite the conversation being good, her tight, unpleasant vibe persisted.

We got into an argument in the Uber about whether they sold vodka at convenient stores, but settled on a compromise. She put on some music and I kissed her in the firm belief that the insults and criticisms were some bizarre form of foreplay.

Was it the format? Even when you’re on an actual date the Tinder system seems ethereal. At any moment either one of you could

Tinder, after all protests to the contrary by its users, is still essentially a hook-up app. Even if the love of your life is out there some-

where swiping right, you’d never be able to connect with her on a legitimate level. That’s why the appropriate use of the app is for random hookups with people you can barely stand in places that aren’t where you live. Now, your friend Mr. Chase here has been chastised by the establishment on one or more occasions for his unnecessarily graphic description of amorous activities (little of which actually makes it to print), but upon arrival in the bedroom from the restroom I was greeted with what the biologists describe in the animal kingdom as “presenting” (and let’s leave it at that). I woke up sore and hungover with a gnawing ache in my belly. Perhaps that Branzino hadn’t been filling enough after all. We went for a Cuban breakfast of skirt steak and eggs. I was departing for a week, but returning in 10 days, so she kissed me stiffly as I got out of the car and hobbled into The Waverly, where I grabbed a bottle of white wine and applied it to my aching head. Five hours later I got an email from Blonde, with a link to a job application fitting my skills in the vicinity. I showed it to my sister. “Don’t you think it’s a little crazy that you went on ONE date with her and now she’s trying to get you a job here?” “Yes.” I eased my sore, tired body into a lounge chair by the pool and passed out.

A visit to New York’s Vision Festival pushed him forward again. “I didn’t know what to expect, except that there would be a lot of freejazz.

Ken Vandermark performing about the guy who runs across live at Dreamland in January.

He went on to spend 15 years in Manhattan, where the “softening” of indie rock, as he calls it, led him further afield from even their mainstream. “It was wonderful, I had a great time and met some great people, got to play on some great records – but then when it hit ’97, ’98, it all turned towards electronic music and stuff, and then all those bands that I loved: Polvo, The Grifters, all those classic indie rock bands from that time - it stopped everything. No one was interested any more. There was the Chemical Brothers instead.” Witnessing artists like Stereolab, Tortoise and the Rachel’s reinvent the independent music scene inspired Barnes, who had been playing in a band, Ditch Croaker, with a shortlived major label deal. “It was a weird time, but it was a cool time. ‘There’s a fresh canvas here’.”

He was working for a film editor who took his turn opening Barnes up to some of that freshness – ambient, industrial, darker tones

On his journey, Barnes says: “It has led me to this place where I’ve been able to connect with a lot of different people, but also have the sense of having a passion for – I hate always using the term ‘experimental music’ – ‘fringe’ or ‘extended thinking,’ not stopping at a certain point, but the constant ‘what-if?’ sort of thing.” Having booked musicians in offbeat venues in Manhattan, setting up Dreamland shows wasn’t the hard part. The financial realities have kept him on his toes. For this second year, Barnes is planning more film screenings and lectures and hopes to include modern dance performances. Their next music showcase, this Saturday, celebrates a new compilation by a local electronic label. Barnes isn’t planning to slow down this year. “I just said ‘yes’ to my biggest (financial) risk to date,” he says. “I’m a little nervous. Because you never really know.” VT W W W .

Fifty Shades of Nay 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.

I go to see films like â&#x20AC;&#x153;Fifty Shades of Grey,â&#x20AC;? hoping I will experience bad material crafted into good cinema. Plenty of erotic films are simply big-budget soft-core pornos, with a strong enough atmosphere to be considered art. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Fifty Shades,â&#x20AC;? however, features little artistry. There is only the typical case of a simple lonely girl being pursued by a very attractive, infinitely wealthy libidinous man. To know its author, E.L. James, was inspired by the â&#x20AC;&#x153;Twilight Sagaâ&#x20AC;? makes a lot of sense. In this case, our female protagonist is Anastasia Steele, an undergrad sent to interview an

industrial billionaire named Christian Grey. Grey is easily like the vampire-lover, Edward Cullen: a seemingly perfect hot guy with a dangerous side to reveal. After their brief encounter, he stalks Anastasia and seduces her, occasionally pushing her away, insisting she doesn't want to know him. But, you know she does, and he eventually reveals his peculiar tastes and terms for a sexual relationship. No self-respecting fan of good literature Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve met has anything nice to say about this book. I get an idea of how shallow it is even though the film tries very hard to rise above the content. Dakota Johnson is very good at imposing some real emotion on such an unrealized character. The cinematography by Seamus McGarvey (â&#x20AC;&#x153;Atonementâ&#x20AC;?) is possibly this films most winning asset. Combined with music by Danny Elfman, and songs by Sia, The Weekend and Beyonce, the exotic aspects of this film are rather well-captured. Jamie Dornan, however, does little to emotionally justify the complicated Grey. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s good-looking with a strong screen presence, but doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t seem to have explored the psychology of what comes across as a gentle sadist in search of a submis-

sive. Compared to his co-star, who bares all, Dornan keeps his goods off-screen. This not only sets popular erotic R-rated cinema back twenty years, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s also in defiance of the filmâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s target audience. Why cast a prude like Dornan if it leaves Johnson behind with all the potential humiliation? In the end, the sexual elements of this film arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t as explicit as people hoped or feared. Without the allure of its erotic qualities controlling the movie, I was left seeing this story for what it really is: a luxury fantasy showcasing material goods as if theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re the real temptation for Anastasia, with the question of whether the imposed sex life is worth the compromise. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just not interesting to me. A far better, and equally-recent, example of good erotic film is Peter Stricklandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Duke of Burgundy,â&#x20AC;? which was just released in the U.S. Or check out the 2002 film, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Secretary,â&#x20AC;? in which Maggie Gyllenhaal is attracted to her boss because she is actually thrilled by the sadistic submission he demands, is much better than this one because its strange characters discover how their needs are compatible. Her boss, played by James Spader, is named Mr. Grey. Coincidence? You decide. VT

PUZZLES

pets of the week Simon is a gorgeous one-year-old grey and white medium hair cat. According to his owner, Simon is “a loving, crazy, funny cat who loves people very much.” Simon’s owner believes he would be a great addition to a home with no other cats, however he dogs well with children and dogs. Simon is neutered, micro-chipped and up-to-date on his vaccinations. Come meet him today at the Kentucky Humane Society’s St. Matthews Feeders Supply adoption center, 4600 Shelbyville Road. Meet Singer, a fun-loving one-year-old American Staffordshire Terrier/Border Collie mix who would love to be your new best friend! Singer loves meeting new people and playing with other dogs. And he loves toys, especially squeaker toys. At the shelter, Singer loves to plays with his dog buddies. Singer was found as a stray, and a kind person brought him to the Kentucky Humane Society so he could find his forever home. Singer is neutered, micro-chipped and up-to-date on vaccinations. Singer can be found at the Kentucky Humane Society’s Fern Creek Feeders Supply adoption center, 6820 Bardstown Road.
