Tony and Starr Tingle are Louisville’s own Chip and Joanna Gaines. The latter couple is the focus of HGTV’s “Fixer Upper,” a show that chronicles the pair as they turn dilapidated and run-down homes into residences to be proud of. Their business, Magnolia Homes, is based in Waco, Texas, and the couple works all around the state to help revitalize Texas neighborhoods. While the local Tingle couple and their business, Sanctuary Homes, aren’t quite as famous as the Gaineses and Magnolia, the work they’re doing here in the greater Louisville area is not just wonderfully creative and inspiring but also the result of years of dedication between a devoted and collaborative husband and wife team.

With a finance degree and a job at a bank, Starr Tingle didn’t really see herself entering the home builder business, that is until she and her husband, Tony, saw a farmhouse they knew had to be theirs. Tony was a farmer at the time and similarly had no construction or building background at all. Nonetheless, in 1999, the couple took it upon themselves to renovate an old farmhouse, and after that, there was no going back. “We subcontracted ourselves and had an absolute blast doing it,” Starr remembers. “It’s just one of those things – you know, we really wanted to work together.” And so they did. The couple formed their business, Sanctuary Homes that year and advertised themselves as a company that builds homes and performs renovations and remodels. But of course, with no background in this field, there was some learning to do. “Unfortunately, back at that time, there was no Internet for us to do much research – there was no YouTube,” Starr laughs. “But we checked a lot of books out of the library. Tony and I are both the kind of people that learn best by reading about it, absorbing it and then trying to do it. And we’ve made mistakes, but we’ve learned a lot.” Ever since that farmhouse, the business has continually grown due partly to the superb work the Tingles do but also to their indestructible partnership as husband and wife. They actually work so well together that the National Association of Home Builders has asked them to speak at their annual conference on how they have managed to work so well together.

“You know, we do get aggravated with each other,” Starr admits. “But typically, if I’m becoming aggravated with him, I just say, ‘Hey, look, I’m getting aggravated.’” The couple is then always sure to talk through any misunderstanding and make sure they’re both on the same page before continuing. “If they’re doing a tile job and I’m not understanding how they’re going to do the tile, I get really wigged out about that,” Starr offers as an example. Although there is a myriad of projects the couple is proud of, what comes to Starr’s mind more than anything when she thinks about her career thus far is the people. “Honestly, I think the biggest thing we’re proud of is the friendships we’ve made along the way,” she maintains. “We’ve become such great friends with so many of our clients that I can’t imagine having never done this. Because then I wouldn’t have met all these great people.” Indeed, sometimes it’s the people alone that make the job worth doing. “We have the best clients in the world,” she exudes. “Every day, we get up and we’re just so glad we get to go to work and talk to the clients we have!” Joanna Hite Shelton and Mark Shelton are two such clients, and both are quick to praise the Tingles following the 2015 completion of the Sheltons’ La Grange home. Prior to living in their new home, the couple lived in the Southern Parkway area, but as Joanna had grown up in the country, she had a growing desire to move further outside the city as an adult. In 2014, the couple started looking at several homes in Oldham County, and though none of them were exactly right, the ones they liked all had one thing in common: They had been built by Tony and Starr Tingle. So the Sheltons hired the Tingles and began the process of creating a new home. From the beginning, the four worked very closely together. Joanna recalls going out with Tony to the

property to choose where the actual house would go and working with Starr to pick finishes. “I had Tony and Starr’s phone number, so I called them if I had anything I needed,” Joanna says with a smile. And since Joanna is a self-described perfectionist, there was no one better for the Shelton home than the Tingles who, exhibit similar attention to detail. “Starr is as particular as I am with getting things perfect, which I liked,” Joanna attests. “Our tile got completely done, then redone three times to make sure it was perfect.” In the end, Joanna and Mark couldn’t be happier with the final product. “The work Tony and Starr did was incredible,” Joanna emphasizes. “I always wanted a home in the country that not only spoke to Southern traditions but also suggested a more modern element. And that’s exactly what they made – a modern farmhouse. And they were so awesome to work with. I still text them all the time. Through the process, we really became great friends.”

importance to Starr and Tony. “When we hire new subcontractors, I can bring them in and kind of teach them how I want things done,” Starr explains of one of the uses of the space. “And it’s really important – not always on new construction but when you do a remodel, and especially if you’re remodeling a home that someone’s staying in, you really have to teach these guys how to treat the property and how to treat the homeowner.” The classroom area will also be used for monthly Do-It-Yourself classes, one of the aspects Starr is most excited for. She and Tony already have several topics in mind, such as how to tile your own backsplash or how to best use chalk paint. And those kinds of classes are really geared toward illustrating to attendees

the possibilities of their home and what Starr and Tony can do. “We want to raise awareness on our remodels,” Starr emphasizes. “We really, really love to do remodels.” So let the Tingles do what they do best. They are clearly exceedingly passionate individuals who have created a business out of sheer love for the industry. Starr asserts that their signature style is, “Cool clean colors – not a beachy feel but sort of like a farmhouse with a modern edge,” much like the Shelton home in La Grange. However, they will work with you to create the home you’ve always wanted because Sanctuary Homes is bringing all the wonder and marvel from HGTV right into your own living room. VT

And for Tony and Starr, that’s all part of the job – making great homes and great friends along the way. In regards to a specific home, however, Starr’s favorite property she and Tony have worked on is in fact their own home – a new one that they just purchased last year. “When we first started looking at the property, I liked the trees – I loved it, the trees and the location,” Starr recounts. “But I said, ‘The house is so bad for me – I don’t know if we can fix it.’ And it wasn’t a great house, but it wasn’t so bad that it needed to be torn down.” Tony assured her there were possibilities, and the team’s architect presented a plan that was absolutely doable. Starr and Tony attacked the project with revitalized determination, and Starr, in particular, relished how she got to do a lot of the design work on the home, which, at this stage of the company, she no longer has that much time for. “I got to do all the design work on it myself, and I can’t imagine living anyplace else now,” she affirms. Satisfied and settled in their new home, the couple is tackling their biggest project yet: a new Sanctuary Homes headquarters, with a storefront to go with it. The business, located in Shelbyville and slated to be up and running by April, will have two floors, with the upstairs being the company’s office space and the downstairs being a shop stocked with all sorts of pieces shoppers can accessorize their homes with. Downstairs, there will also be a classroom that the Tingles will use to educate new employees, for proper decorum is of the utmost F E B R U A R Y 2 5 , 2 0 1 6 • W W W . V O I C E -T R I B U N E .

or now, grass and scattered trees cover a 23-acre plot just east of Butchertown, where nature has run its course since the early ’80s. But the site is the focus of more than 15 years of dreams for a local organization determined to build a botanical garden there.

Business WES KERRICK

The group’s director of program development, Kasey Maier, says it won’t be much longer till the site will start to change. “We’ll actually have bulldozers up on the site this year.” Bordered by Interstate 71, River Road, Frankfort Avenue and Beargrass Creek, the future location of Waterfront Botanical Gardens has a rich history, though it looks unremarkable now. In the 1800s and early 1900s, 135 homes were situated there. But the neighborhood fell victim to numerous floods over the years until the 1937 flood finally became its ruin. The city turned the site into the Ohio Street Dump, which remained operational until 1973. Over the next eight years, what had become a pollution-generating landfill was covered with about 25 feet of dirt, and grass was planted on top.

R E N D E R I N G S C O U R T E S Y O F B OTA N I C A

Recently, Botanica, the organization planning the garden, has been coordinating studies at the site to make sure it’s safe and suitable. They’ve researched deeds on the 135 homes and tested the water and soil quality. Despite the area’s nasty past, it’s in good shape now.

After an expected groundbreaking in the next few months, the creation of the botanical garden will start with the construction of an access road. Following that, Maier expects work on the garden’s first building – an education facility – to start around the spring of 2017 and be completed in about a year.

In the 1990s, Botanica was a confederation of local garden groups, but the organization turned its focus to planning the botanical garden in 2001. That’s when it was revealed that a former member, Helen Harrigan, had left Botanica a $1.5 million trust to build the garden. “Her gift was the turning point,” says Maier. Through private donations, Botanica recently passed the $2 million mark in funding. “Overall, we have a long way to go,” says Maier, “but it is a lot of progress.” The group picked up about 740 donors last year, up from the roughly 200 it received in each of several previous years. The group has been leasing the land from the city, but Maier expects to finalize a purchase agreement within the second quarter of this year. Provided that Botanica meets a set of requirements – most of which it’s already fulfilled – the city has agreed to sell the land for a dollar. The agreement stipulates that Botanica must break ground within a year. Maier says that shouldn’t be a problem. After the education facility is built, the master plan for Waterfront Botanical Gardens calls for several other significant projects. W W W . V O I C E -T R I B U N E .

Those will include construction of a visitor center and an overlook above Beargrass Creek. A conservatory, which will feature plants that don’t normally grow in this area, will be designed to meet the highest level of sustainable building standards. The site will feature a Japanese garden, a children’s garden with illuminated seedpod sculptures, sensory gardens and a medicinal meadow. A bike path will connect with the existing path along Beargrass Creek. The overall project will involve planting more than 1,200 trees, with many situated along Interstate 71 to reduce noise and air pollution. Maier is hoping the first phase of the project will be finished in about five years. It’s tough to estimate how long it will take to complete the entire garden. A good guess is perhaps 10 to 15 years. But Maier is taking it one day at a time. “This is, by far, the farthest anyone has ever gotten with this project,” she says. “So we’re pretty confident it will keep going.” VT To learn more or to get involved, visit waterfrontgardens.org, where you can make a donation or sign up to volunteer.

time opportunity.

You read that correctly. The opening event for the new Speed Museum – or rather, series of events – begins at 10 a.m. on Saturday and lasts until approximately 4 p.m. the next day: a duration of a whopping 30 hours. If that sounds absolutely insane to you, you’re not the only one. When Ghislain d’Humières, CEO of the Speed, presented the idea, he met some skepticism. D’Humières, who served as the assistant director for the similar opening of the new de Young museum in San Francisco, explains, “We wanted to make a statement, a surprise for the entire community. When we talked to the staff, some of them were hesitant, but many of the younger staff members said, ‘Let’s do it!’” That excitement and passion is certainly evident in the Speed opening’s programming, a schedule of nearly 100 events, talks and other activities all together. What will happen is the Speed Art Museum will reopen its doors to the public, and what will follow will be 30 hours of nonstop music, performances, interactive activities and art provided by distinguished local artists, musicians and cultural partners. After the ribbon-cutting ceremony, patrons can enjoy the free celebration by attending gallery tours and art activities as well as performances and activities presented by such various and sundry local arts organizations as the Louisville Orchestra, Louisville Ballet, Kentucky Opera, Actors Theatre of Louisville, Walden Theatre/Blue Apple Players and The Center for Interfaith Relations. A diverse concert program, curated by Jecorey “1200” Arthur, will include live music by Wax Fang, The Tunesmiths, Rachel Grimes, Tyler Dippold, Anemic Royalty, The Junkyard Hawks, The Louisville Leopard Percussionists and many more.

Evan McMahon is the special events coordinator for the Speed, so his was the unenviable task of handling the logistics for this ambitious opening. “We had to juggle a lot, obviously, but when we sent an [email] blast off to arts organizations, we got an amazing response,” he says. In addition to the already mentioned acts, Ben Sollee will be performing live music set to yoga with Shadia Heenan. This mixed-level vinyasa class includes a creative flow of asanas (poses) that will guide participants through meditative movement as they connect the mind with the body, deepen their breaths and begin their days with clarity and rejuvenation. This event start the day on Sunday at 9 a.m. As if that were not enough, the events feature something for everyone and from various arts disciplines. There will be theatre performances from Stage One, Walden Theatre/Blue Apple Players and Kentucky Shakespeare; live readings of books and stories inspired by visual art from around the world presented by Carmichael’s as well as a late-night video game extravaganza, complete with Xbox One and Kinect setups. The Speed’s new stateof-the-art cinema will feature 30 hours of non-stop film, and there will be countless pop-up talks given by museum curators and other experts that will appear at certain times and at various location throughout the 30 hours. “We want the new Speed Museum to be a house of creativity, a place that can be home for all the different kinds of art in the world,” says D’Humières. If that is so, this just may be the biggest house party in museum history. If there’s anything to lament about the opening, it’s that it’s impossible to do it all. That being said, that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t try. 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 2 5 , 2 0 1 6

Woodford Reserve announced the latest Distillery Series expression, Frosty Four Wood. Unveiled in July 2015, the Distillery Series is Woodford Reserve’s latest line of complex offerings available for purchase at the Woodford Reserve Distillery and select Kentucky retailers. The series showcases Woodford Reserve’s continued commitment to providing an unmatched whiskey experience and leading the spirits industry through innovation and craftsmanship. Developed and perfected by Master Distiller Chris Morris, Frosty Four Wood is a unique batching of mature Woodford Reserve bourbon, aged in American Oak and finished in barrels made from Maple Wood, Sherry Wood and Port. The original Four Wood whiskey, the 2012 Master’s Collection release, was exposed to record-low temperatures during the 2013 Polar Vortex, resulting in flocking, or mineral precipitation. Filtration techniques produced a more fruit-forward whiskey with maple hints. Frosty Four Wood joins the prior two Distillery Series expressions, Double Double Oaked and Sweet Mash Redux, for purchase at the Woodford Reserve Distillery and select retailers in Kentucky. Frosty Four Wood is presented at 90.4 proof with a suggested retail price of $49.99 for a 375ml bottle. The Distillery Series expressions are small-batch offerings ranging from finished whiskies to straight bourbons and other unique spirits. 2016 PEGASUS PIN FEATURES LINCOLN BRIDGE The Kentucky Derby Festival recently unveiled one of the first signs of spring – the 2016 Pegasus Pin image.

Cox; two sons, David (Emily) and Kenneth (Christy); and four grandchildren, Jonathan (Anne), Caroline, Claire, and Carter, all of whom loved their Papa. James also loved his wife’s brothers and their wives as if they were siblings. His lifelong service in Christian ministry and teaching touched countless congregants and students, as he pursued his well-matched calling and passion. James was called to the ministry early in life, preaching his first sermon at age 16, and honed his writing skills in high school and college by contributing weekly meditations to his local newspaper. He graduated from Carson-Newman College, where he later served on the board of trustees and was honored as a distinguished alumnus. While in college, he was called to his first pastorate, at Nance’s Grove Baptist Church in east Tennessee. He obtained his Master of Divinity and PhD degrees from Southern Baptist Theological Seminary in Louisville. During his graduate studies he became the founding pastor of Memorial Baptist Church in Frankfort, Kentucky. He also served as pastor of Central Baptist Church in Johnson City, Tenn. James left the pastorate to join the faculty of Southern Baptist Theological Seminary as a homiletics professor, where he taught for more than four decades, including his tenure as the Victor and Louise Lester Professor of Christian Preaching. There he guided generations of students in the art and craft of effective biblical preaching. He loved teaching and loved his students. He wrote and edited several dozen books, including a widely used preaching text, Preaching: A Comprehensive Approach to the Design and Delivery of Sermons. His annual The Minister’s Manual vol-

umes helped many ministers use the lectionary and plan their worship services and sermons. Throughout his teaching career, James continued to serve churches as interim pastor and supply preacher in many parts of the United States. He lectured widely and continued his studies during sabbaticals, including at Princeton Theological Seminary, Harvard University and seminaries in Europe and Asia. He remained active in supporting the professional development of his peers and students, conducting preaching workshops and serving as president of the Academy of Homiletics, which honored him with a Distinguished Lifetime Service Award. At his death, he was a member of Broadway Baptist Church in Louisville, where he was a longtime Sunday School teacher. James was kind, selfless and affirming. He maintained an unfailingly positive outlook on life, serving as a strong moral compass for his family, congregations and students. A colleague and former student once described him as “tough-minded and tenderhearted.” He was also quick-witted and the eager purveyor of terrible puns, blue eyes sparkling. In his spare time he enjoyed reading, writing and flower gardening. His rich baritone voice will be greatly missed. James’s life will be celebrated at 2 p.m. on Saturday, February 27, 2016, at Broadway Baptist Church, 4000 Brownsboro Road, with burial to follow at Cave Hill Cemetery. Visitation will be from 4-7 p.m. on Friday, February 26, 2016, at Pearson’s, 149 Breckenridge Lane. Expressions of sympathy may be made to Broadway Baptist Church in Louisville (broadwaybaptist.org) or to Carson-Newman University in Jefferson City, Tenn. (cn.edu).

John H. “Jack” Ford PhD, 94, died February 20, 2016. Philosopher and teacher, Jack devoted much of his life to teaching several generations of Louisvillians at Ursuline College, Bellarmine University, where he was chairman of the philosophy department, and the University of Louisville, where he was adjunct professor of philosophy for more than twenty years. In 1968 he became President of Mount St. Agnes College in Baltimore, Md. He later returned to Louisville to become executive director of Kentuckiana Metroversity, a consortium of Louisville’s universities and colleges. Dr. Ford was a graduate of St. Xavier High School; St. Joseph’s College, Ind.; Xavier University, Ohio; and the University of Ottawa, Canada. During World War II he served in the U.S. Navy in both the Pacific and Atlantic theatres. During his tenure at Bellarmine, Jack received several awards including the first Wm. T. Miles award for outstanding contributions to the College. Along with the late Msgr. Felix Pitt, then head of the Catholic School System, he founded the Junior Great Books Program for advanced middle school students, which was adopted by more than thirty school systems around the country. Later he received honorary degrees from St. Joseph’s College and Bellarmine University; the Horrig-

an Award for Distinguished Service and the Distinguished Catholic School Alumni Award from the Archdiocese of Louisville. For over four decades, Jack was a frequent visitor, fellow pilgrim and friend to the monks at the Abbey of Gethsemani, at times teaching classes and tutoring. After retirement, Jack and his wife Gladys founded Day Spring, a residential community for adults with intellectual disabilities, an accomplishment particularly close to his heart. He maintained an active interest in Day Spring until his death. Jack found great joy in his wife and family. He was preceded in death by his parents, Rose Herbert Ford and John B. Ford He is survived by his wife of 64 years, the former Gladys Jones; three sons, Michael Ford, Paul Ford (Judy) and Joseph Ford (Sabrina); five daughters, Cathy Ford (Everett Hoffman), Dr. Maureen Ford (Rick Szpila) of River Forest, Ill.; Angela Ford of Lexington, Ky.; Mary Ford and Anne Ford (Rick Curtis) of Washington, D.C.; and four grandchildren, John Ford, Nicholas Ford, Olivia Ford and Cate Szpila.

Redemption for UofL

Louisville Cardinals guard Trey Lewis (3) shoots the ball under pressure from Duke Blue Devils guard Brandon Ingram (14).

UofL and Duke met for the second time this season, and this time around, things turned out much better for the Cards as they ended the Blue Devils’ five-game streak. It was a fight to the finish with both teams playing hard but UofL’s mettle proved tougher, even considering that Anas Mahmoud and Mangok Mathiang were out of commission. Duke led almost the entire game, but UofL’s persistence and full court press eventually wore the mighty team down.

tributors from that team meant that McDonnell wasn’t the only one this offseason saying that the goal for this Cardinal squad should be nothing less than achieving the sport’s top prize.

Kyle Funkhouser is entering his third season as Louisville’s No. 1 starting pitcher. He ranks second on UofL’s all-time list and stunned much of the college baseball world when he chose to return to school after being selected by the Los Angeles Dodgers in the first round of last summer’s MLB Draft. He’s followed in the rotation by Brendan McKay, the reigning national Freshman of the Year and the John Olerud Award recipient as the nation’s best two-way player. A season ago, the former blue chip prospect posted the best statistics of any of the Louisville pitchers (9-3, 1.77 ERA) while also batting cleanup and playing first base for the Cards. McKay won’t be draft eligible until 2017, but a pair of his teammates have the potential to be very rich men a few months from now.

his third season as a Cardinal by earning ACC Player of the Week honors after going 6-for-9 at the plate with two home runs, seven RBI, nine runs scored and 6-for-6 on stolen bases on opening weekend. Funkhouser and Ray are joined in mock drafts all over the Internet by closer Zack Burdi, who like his older brother, Nick, regularly hits triple digits with his fastball. Burdi, who finished last season with nine saves and a 0.92 ERA, was asked on Louisville’s media day what one thing he would change about his team to make them even more likely to end their season in Omaha at the College World Series. “I’ll be honest,” Burdi said. “I’m not saying we’re a perfect team, but from the inside out, we have everything we need to accomplish our goal of a national championship. The only team that’s going to beat us this year is ourselves. I wouldn’t change anything.” Louisville outscored SIU Edwardsville 43-5 and won each game of a three-game series by at least nine runs for the first time in program history. Additionally, a whopping 3,116 fans walked through the gates of Jim Patterson Stadium last Friday, the largest crowd ever to see a UofL baseball opener. Some of the reason for the larger-than-usual February baseball crowd had to do with the unseasonably warm weather, but it would be foolish to think that was the only reason. This hasn’t exactly been the easiest athletic season for die-hard Cardinal fans. The football team began their season 0-3, and the men’s basketball team is about to experience life without a postseason of any sort for the first time since 1965. If, in fact, “all’s well that end’s well,” Card Nation might wind up very thankful that McDonnell and his team are serving as the anchor for 2015-16. VT W W W . V O I C E -T R I B U N E .

minutes of play.

But right after Isaac Humphries snatched what should have been the winning rebound out of the air and was fouled, he sort of threw the ball against the court. To call it a “slam” would have embarrassed most true slams. A spike wouldn’t have admitted what Humphries did was even a close relative. Nonetheless, it was, in some officials’ view, an emotional outburst worthy of a technical foul. The shame is that young Humphries was carrying the Cats through overtime after a procession of Kentucky’s big men had given up one offensive rebound after another to Texas A&M – something like 17 in the first half alone. But down the stretch, Humphries was containing the boards with his big shoulders and strong hands. He ended the game with 12 rebounds in 20

Appropriate, perhaps, that the Aggies’ winning basket at the buzzer was on an offensive rebound. With Humphries tied to the bench after fouling out, Kentucky’s lineup consisted of four small men and Skal Labissiere.

Marcus Lee had also fouled out, and Derek Willis had been helped from the court with what looked like a badly sprained ankle.

Kentucky’s offense seemed somewhat sluggish and disjointed most of the game. A lot of dribbling around the perimeter, a lot of two-man ball between Tyler Ulis and Jamal Murray, a lot of one-on-one play, a lot of desperation shots at the end of the clock. Rarely were Kentucky’s looks open or their shots uncontested. Murray was fighting for his shot opportunities all night. Ulis had some trouble penetrating and often was throwing shots up from the far part of his range. Fortunately, Ulis’ range is pretty much anywhere this side of the mid-court logo. And, of course, A&M was shooting well. That’s why the road is such an unforgiving place to go win a game. Cruelly, earlier in the week, Kentucky was being talked about for a potential championship run after rolling over Tennessee at Rupp, two

weeks after giving up a 21-point lead to the Volunteers in Knoxville. That was Kentucky at its best, including an out-of-his-mind, 25-point performance by Willis, one in which he hit seven threes. The penetrating drives of Ulis and Murray seemed to pull the defense in like iron shavings toward a magnet, leaving Willis uncovered in the corners and on the perimeter. It was so dominant that it was a shock to see that the final margin was just 10 points. It was fun, winning, high-level basketball. But then the Cats had to turn around and go to College Station in just two days, and that’s always a rugged turnaround. The A&M arena was filled, a white-out crowd excited and screaming. All that was missing was the A&M coach wearing a cheesy white suit. Billy Kennedy didn’t. Some coaches do. Some coaches, like some brides, should simply not wear white. My rule is that complaining about the officiating is a loser’s game. But when a referee steps in to unnecessarily control the outcome of an extraordinarily close contest in overtime, to plant his ego in the road like the national flag of Hey Look at Me – well, that does require lodging a complaint. So what’s the prognosis going forward? If Willis is hurt significantly enough to miss several games, I think the lineup becomes Lee and Humphries playing with the three guards, and Skal, Dominique Hawkins and Charles Matthews coming off the bench until Alex Poythress returns. (Cal seems to have lost faith in Mychal Muldar, though on this team productive contributions off the bench have often come from surprising resources.) The hope is that Lee will be able to limit his fouls, that Murray and Ulis will hit enough shots to keep the score close and that Briscoe will take many fewer jump shots than he did against Texas A&M and keep driving to the hoop, where his out-of-control rushes are maddening but surprisingly effective. Based on his pre-technical performance at A&M, Humphries can provide some bulk underneath on both boards and a nice soft shooting touch.

The A&M students called for a technical foul when Isaac Humphries spiked the ball in the last few seconds of overtime at A&M.

Gun Runner has likely locked-up a spot in the Kentucky Derby starting gate with his 50 Risen Star points, but the Louisiana Derby will offer opportunity for its top four finishers, who will be awarded RTTKD points on a scale of 100-40-20-10. It was mentioned here a few weeks back that last fall’s renewal of the Kentucky Jockey Club at Churchill Downs appeared to be its strongest in recent memory. Although the results for KJC runners in the Risen Star offered mix results, the runs by two of the top three at the Fair Grounds continued to validate that opinion. The victorious Gun Runner and third-place Mo Tom, also third in the KJC, reflected the overall quality of the KJC. Back-to-back California stakes wins by Mor Spirit, third in the KJC and the Bob Baffert-trained West Coast leader on the road to Derby 142 served as fur-

While Mark Casse said Airoforce appeared to be fine following Saturday’s race, the poor effort by the colt, his first on a dry dirt course after three turf runs and his win in the slop last fall at Churchill Downs, probably knocked the colt off the trail to the Kentucky Derby and Triple Crown. “The [Kentucky] Derby just doesn’t seem like an option,” Casse told the Blood-Horse Sunday after giving Airoforce a thorough post-race exam. “The good thing is, the only thing he hurt yesterday was his feelings – and ours.” As for Tom’s Ready, he ran wide during every step of the race. If the track was as biased as it appeared, his effort is a throw-out, and he deserves another chance Back to Gun Runner – his occupation of the spot in the Road to the Kentucky Derby point standings could be brief. Unbeaten Mohaymen, currently tied for fifth in the RTTKD standings, will be favored in Saturday’s Fountain of Youth at Florida’s Gulfstream Park, a race that also offers 50 first-place points. His opponents will include promising rising stars in Awesome Banner and Zulu.

Gun Runner Earns Prominent Spot on Road to Derby 142

Climbing out of the Valley

n the past decade, Valley High School’s boys’ basketball has had a locker room that has been filled with both sorrow and apathy and has lacked in leadership. In the last 10 years, they’ve recorded only two winning seasons – 15-14 in 2009-10 and 16-12 in 2005-06. The other eight years, the Valley Vikings sat at the bottom of the valley of the sixth region with losing records.

Harris’ coaching philosophy and vision for the program has paid off. Valley has cashed in 20 wins, the first time they reached 20 since the 199899 season. And the team has had its first winning season in six years. Coach Harris comes from Cincinnati and has been in Louisville since 2007. He played ball at Reading High School and then played college at RANDY Thomas Moore. When he arrived in WHETSTONE JR. Louisville, he coached under his mentor, Doug Bibby, at Central and then went on to be the head coach at Farnsley Middle School the year prior to coming to Valley.

High School Sports Report

This season, the program has made a turnabout under new head coach, Joseph Harris. “When I got the job last year, I came in and cleaned house,” Harris says. “I tried to get them to do it the right way, and I told them it would pay off this year. We had to make the kids believe in themselves. I told them it doesn’t matter what the front of the jersey says. You put your shoes and socks on like everyone else, so don’t worry about what school you go to. Just come in and compete hard. That was half the battle.”

He admits his journey at Valley has been strenuous in some ways. With the stigma attached to the school and its culture over the years, Harris had to break the team’s old mentality to begin a fresh start. “We are changing the culture of the city. Every time you hear about Valley in the news, it is a bad story,” he adds. “[The players] were used to the old way of how we don’t do things. It was hard for me to change their mindset about going to class, being good students and being respectful. All that took time for them to figure out, and they didn’t

want to do it.” Subsequently, those juniors and seniors in Harris’ first season coaching who didn’t want to adapt to the change didn’t make the team. But he says he had a group of young guys who bought into the system. This year, the team has one senior who comes off the bench and the rest is comprised of mainly underclassmen. “Last year, we actually started two freshmen, two sophomores and an eighth grader on varsity,” Harris relates. “We took our lumps. We were 6-23, but we were doing it the right way. I told them to bear with me, and it would pay off. This year, we swept the district in the regular season, and we have a good chance to make the regional tournament. This year, we made the Louisville Invitational Tournament for the first time in seven or eight years and won a game.” Doing it the right way has turned the Viking’s program around for the better. But it doesn’t start and end on the basketball court. “I teach them to be great young men first. You can’t be a great ball player until you are a great young man first. We do study halls three days a week. We eat together and watch film together, but it’s all about leadership and holding each other accountable,” Harris says. By establishing this foundation for the program, Harris told his team the wins would come. They now sit as one of the top five teams in the tough sixth region, and the team has a lot of promise come the next few seasons with all its youth. “Offensively, I think we are one of the best teams in the city,” he asserts. “We shoot the ball really well. We pass the ball really well. We are starting to get more of an identity defensively. We want to compete. Not just this year, but for the next few years. Next year, I think we will have one of the best teams in the state. With every piece back again, I think we have one of the best teams in the state and will be able to compete in this tough sixth region.” The success on the hardwood is only a means to an end for Coach Harris. He wants to prepare his players, catapulting them into that reality that transcends basketball: life. “I teach my players that they won’t understand what I tell them until they are 20 or 21. A lot of these kids don’t have anyone asking them about their homework but me. So in the long run, I know that it is going to get someone to college, that academic scholarship or that job after high school. That is what we are preparing them for. They have to be ready, and that is what we try to do at this program.” VT

HIGH SCHOOL GAME OF THE WEEK:

MALE vs. MANUAL

Everyone knows about St. X and Trinity, but the rivalry between Male and Manual is nearly as fervid. The 10-game winning streak ended for the Bulldogs as they were soundly defeated by the Crimsons in front of a soldout crowd due to stand-out performances from Manual’s Noah Hawkins and Rasean McCauley.

DRUGS Jordan McClendon (30) sailed to the rim over the Male defense.

Alex Cook (24) leaned into his shot.

Manual’s Steven Gordon (21) prepared to drive inside and score.

Keeping children safe from the exposure of drugs is more daunting than most parents are willing to fathom. Drugs in the teenage generation are as easy to find as Coca-Cola in your local grocery and are becoming just as affordable. Many parents and guardians believe that a great neighborhood, private schools and a stupendous upbringing have the power to halt drug abuse, addiction or even sales. This couldn’t be farther from the truth.

Young Moms Feel Pressure to Succeed at Parenting DEAR ABBY: Why is there so much angst today over raising children, especially in young mothers? I don’t remember my mother or my friends’ mothers being so concerned about whether or not they were doing a good job, and I certainly didn’t gather with my daughters’ friends’ moms to bemoan whether I was a bad mother.

DEAR STARTING TO RESENT THEM: It’s not wrong to not want to be taken advantage of. This wouldn’t be happening if you had established some rules in the beginning, but it isn’t too late to do it now.

That way, you won’t be bored, and Victor will then be free to find a loving, faithful wife who appreciates what he has to offer. ••• Dear Abby is written by Abigail Van Buren, also known as Jeanne Phillips, and was founded by her mother, Pauline Phillips.

The Growth of Louisville Grows

ounded in 2009, Louisville Grows has assisted multiple community groups and individuals on their journey toward sustainability. Since then, the organization has provided support to numerous garden projects including the Portland Orchard Project, Lamp Community Ministries Garden of Life and more. From programs such as Love Louisville Trees to Seeds and Starts, everyone has an opportunity to learn and become involved in the establishment of a sustainable, greener Louisville. To learn more, we spoke with Valerie Magnuson, executive director of Louisville Grows. What is Louisville Grows? Louisville Grows is a non-profit organization with the mission to grow a just and sustainable community through urban agriculture, urban forestry and environmental education. Our vision is a city with the gardens, green spaces and tree canopy necessary to support health and well-being in all of our neighborhoods. What makes you unique?

In 2013, we launched the Love Louisville Trees program to address poor tree canopy cover in low income communities, built a movement of informed individuals who can assist

with reforestation efforts through our Citizen Forester training program and provided free trees to residents, schools and businesses. We planted our 1,000th tree in November 2015 and will plant at least 650 trees in 2016.

Another unique program is Seeds and Starts. We are the only seed and plant distributor based in West Louisville. Our program provides a source of low-cost vegetable plants and seed packets to everyone in our community. We want to increase the number of backyard, community and market gardeners throughout Louisville. We’re also the first organization in town to establish public orchards and edible forests. Our Community Food Forest on Portland Avenue includes an arbor and 60 fruit trees. We will also be transforming three vacant properties in the Russell neighborhood into a “Produce Park.” How has the work you’ve done thus far impacted the community? Between 2009 and 2011, Louisville Grows assisted with the creation of 13 community gardens across Metro Louisville with a focus on food-insecure neighborhoods in West Louisville. In late 2011, Louisville Grows worked with Metro Council District 5 to develop a vision for a five-acre mixed-use agricultural site called the People’s Garden located at 409 Northwestern Pkwy., which today houses 6,000 square-feet of greenhouse space, a one-acre market garden, a 20-member community garden, a large fruit orchard and a children’s educational garden. In 2013, Louisville Grows worked with the Shawnee Youth Advocates to grow over 1,500 pounds of produce at the People’s Garden. How can people get involved with your organization? We encourage folks to become members! Membership starts at just $20, and gets you in the information loop! And becoming a member gets you in on the members-only event on April 22, before our big Seeds

and Starts sale on April 23!

We have volunteer activities for all ages and levels of ability – whether it’s participating in one of our tree planting days, coming to the greenhouses at The People’s Garden, mulching at our Community Food Forest or donating food for one of our community training events. This year, we’re offering a CSA. Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) is a unique model of direct farmer-to-consumer marketing where members build a partnership with food producers. Why is Louisville Grows important for the city? Louisville has one of the fastest rising heat indices in the USA and also has a significantly lower level of tree coverage compared to similar cities. We organize tree planting events in neighborhoods near the urban core, where large trees can have the biggest impact as they cool streets by providing shade, purifying our air, beautifying our streets as well as absorbing and purifying storm water. Starting community gardens, urban farms and community orchards gets people to mingle and get to know their neighbors. This increases both the safety and the attractiveness of the neighborhood where the garden, farm or orchard is started and improves the neighborhood’s health. It’s a win-win situation. Any big plans for the future of Louisville Grows? We’d like to establish an Urban Land Trust to preserve green space and provide easier access to individual and community groups for garden projects. We’re also dreaming about establishing a tree nursery and helping create more orchards in urban spaces so neighbors can harvest and process fruit from shared trees in their neighborhoods. If there was one thing you wanted people to know about Louisville Grows, what would it be? At this time, when there are so many struggles facing our environment, it can be easy to buy into the idea that the problems are too big for any one person to tackle, but if we work together, we can bring about significant positive change! Our actions now will make a huge difference to quality of life in Louisville for generations. VT PHOTO COURTESY OF LOUISVILLE GROWS

for spring FRESH COLORS

WRITTEN BY BEN GIERHART

pring is obviously a time for renewal. It is a time for cleaning house, taking out the old and bringing in new and vibrant energy. One way to go about doing that is to paint. With enough paint, a fresh coat can cover the past, no matter how dark. To help give you the skinny on spring’s hottest colors and paint trends, The Voice-Tribune spoke with Angela Cox at Century Entertainment & Furnishings. According to Cox, the overall trend this year is to go back to basic colors: grays, whites and similar neutral colors. The goal and effect is to create a soothing atmosphere in your home: “We are seeing blush pink in national ads

F E B R U A R Y 2 5 , 2 0 1 6 • W W W . V O I C E -T R I B U N E . C O M

– so that will be coming soon – but in Louisville, things are still neutral with, maybe, some navy or coral accents.” She goes on to say that there are definitely traditional tried-and-true colors to paint different rooms in the home, “Dining rooms are traditionally painted red because red activates the appetite, but we’re also seeing a lot of gray and cream right now. In kitchens, you see lots of white and pale. Master bedrooms, and even smaller rooms where you’re going to be restful and comfortable, are usually darker. We typically use navy.” If you’ve ever painted before, you know, of course, it’s rarely as simple as picking out the color. You have to find the right kind of paint for the job. Fortunately, in most cases, long gone are the days of needing to purchase

primer and the paint in your intended color. “Every brand of paint I can think of has a really saturated, all-in-one paint now,” says Cox. Flat or matte finish paint are almost exclusively put on ceilings, for example. Satin paints go on most walls, but semigloss will do if you want more of a texture; latex paints are easily cleaned, and foil paint is used on wood. The options are endless, and you are only limited by your own creativity. Take advantage of this new information and your newfound springtime energy to start fresh this season! VT

The pair created Holy Grale, which boasts an incredible food menu to go along with the carefully selected brews, out of their love for beer, and the couple’s experiences around the world heavily influenced the aesthetic. “Our beer travels left us wanting to bring a bit of our experience and that authenticity home,” Beck describes.

menu responds to the season’s harvest, it is equally important to him that the food makes sense with and integrates beer,” Beck explains. “Even though we use some of the highest quality ingredients available to us and never cut corners when it comes to technique, we do our best to always keep our prices accessible so that everyone has the ability to enjoy well-prepared, honest food.”

And enjoy it they certainly do. The entire menu is a la carte, so it’s conducive to both sharing a few different things with friends as well as building your own multi-course meal. The mild yet full-bodied beer cheese is an absolute staple, served with an equally unassailable pretzel loaf. The fritjes, double-fried hand-cut potatoes, are also deliciously stellar and are served with a sauce of your choosing – and good luck choosing. Between the curry ketchup, the creole mustard, the wasabi mayo and several others, it’s no easy choice to make. As far as bigger plates go, the burger, with beef from 3D Valley Farm, is quite possibly one of the greatest burgers in town. Meanwhile the beer ramen, an amazing creation composed of Marksbury Farms pork shoulder, togarashi, pickled mushrooms and a soft-boiled egg is so delightfully unique that the innovative aspect of the dish only further highlights just how good it tastes. But none of this would be as genuinely special as it is without the delicate care the owners took in crafting the environment. Holy Grale has a nuance to it that is so totally uncommon in other area bars. It’s friendly. It’s relaxed. It’s clean! As to why this confluence of qualities manifested PHOTOS BY REMY SISK

Yes, the Gralegarten. As spring approaches, more Louisvillians should be aware of this glorious oasis. Full of benches and bistro tables, the spacious outdoor area is the perfect place to spend a summer night, laughing over a rare IPA and an artisan cheese plate. Just like Holy Grale’s interior, this space is the product of the pair’s international beer experiences.

KITCHEN OPEN ‘TIL 3AM

“Tyler and I traveled to Germany and toured biergartens in Munich, Bamberg, Cologne and Düsseldorf for inspiration, taking many notes on what made these outdoor drinking spaces so uniquely beautiful,” Beck recounts. “The largest impact from this trip was seeing how lush and green all of the spaces were. Trying to reproduce that feeling in Louisville, every year in May, we work together and spend the month planting dozens more plants to make it even more green! I think it is safe to say we have an addiction to perennials!”

here, Beck thinks it’s for a couple of reasons. “We don’t have TVs, so people talk to one another instead of stare at screens,” she begins. “We don’t over serve – or serve liquor – therefore, the bar isn’t full of drunk, loud and potentially obnoxious people. Our staff is made up of extremely passionate, intelligent and caring people. They truly want you to enjoy your time with us and do what they can to make that happen. You feel like you could be somewhere else other PHOTOS BY REMY SISK

Whatever you drink, whatever you eat and wherever you sit, you can be guaranteed to be more than satisfied, and that, in Beck’s mind, is at least partially due to the team behind the counter. “The staff at Holy Grale is what makes this place so special,” she asserts. “Tyler and I are a very small part of what makes Holy Grale what it is. It is our chefs and kitchen team that make the food so consistently delicious and beautiful, and our beertenders that make sure you have the perfect beer and feel at home – and it is all of our collective love for beer and food that makes ‘the grale’ feel holy.” So get up, get out, make like King Arthur’s knights and find the holy grail that is Holy Grale.

We’re not made up of cookie-cutter floorplans.” Indeed, a central theme here at GerF E B R U A R Y 2 5 , 2 0 1 6 • W W W . V O I C E -T R I B U N E . C O M

Rohlfing boasts that this diversity has been a major seller for prospective residents. “People who are looking for something unique unlike what anybody else has, they’re going to get that. Their neighbor won’t have the same thing as them,” she asserts. “We can find something as unique as the people coming in and really find something special

Studio units range from 540 to 597 square feet, one-bedrooms from 685 to 1,180 and two-bedrooms from 926 to 2,376, so the options are truly expansive and certain to suit a renter looking for any size. The first building has already been completed and residents moved in on December 1, 2015. All eight buildings are scheduled to be open by May. Up until then, the facility is working to get other cultural amenities off the ground. The complex will boast its own restaurant, Finn’s Southern Kitchen, serving breakfast lunch and dinner in a laid-back and affordable atmosphere. The restaurant, along with the full-service gym, which will be open to the community, should be open by April. The construction team has been working in overdrive for quite some time, so the goals, at this point, are still realistic. After all, this is the same team that replaced all the building’s original windows – every single one. “It was a huge undertaking but so worth it,” Rivers smiles. “They are beautiful and very much resemble the windows of the cotton mill.” She’s right. The windows – along with everything else in the units – are

“People want to live here. People are proud to live here. The amount of restaurants and bars and shops that are popping up along Goss Avenue is just proof that there’s a lot of good energy in this area.” And Germantown Mill Lofts hopes to only add to that. Its modern living in a historic setting blends perfectly with the neighborhood, which is building on tradition to create newer and quirkier offerings. “The people who live here now and the people who have lived here for the past 20, 30, 50 years, are really proud of their community, and I think we’re really benefiting from that because it’s such a great area,” Rohlfing contends. “And I think our residents will only add to that. I hope we can give back to the Germantown community as they have so supported us.” VT

Over 150 years later, BEN Merrill Simmons is the executive several changes have been GIERHART director of Whitehall and is understandably proud of these gardens: made to the interior. In 1992, “Whitehall’s gardens offer a meditative respite when Hume Logan, Jr. – the owner of from a busy world.

ing stunning color from early spring through mid-October. And the specimen garden, with its collection of bulbs, perennials, herbaceous plants, evergreens and specimen trees, is also the location for Whitehall’s collection of just over 60 varieties of peonies, featured each year during its annual springtime Peony Festival. Whitehall’s gardens are free and open to the public from sunup to sundown. Michael Hayman is Whitehall’s landscape director, so the estate’s aforementioned beautiful gardens fall under his purview. In the summer of 1987, a downburst destroyed 100 of the city’s mature oaks and maples. In the fall of 1988, Hayman spearheaded a replanting of the Seneca Gardens neighborhood, resulting in more than 1,000 trees on the properties of 300 private homes. When the time came for Whitehall to seek a new volunteer landscape director, this experience cemented the position for Hayman, and in his tenure, he has planted a panoply of various trees and plants, including a rare Sutnerii sycamore. The one prominently P H OTO S C O U R T E S Y O F M I C H A E L H AY M A N

displayed in Whitehall is one of the very few in North America. As impressive as all this information is, however, Simmons has also made it a mission of hers that Whitehall give back to the community: “We like to work cooperatively with our neighbors on our common property line landscaping, which can be of benefit to both parties. Our landscape director Michael Hayman enjoys meeting and working with individual neighbors, designing plans and identifying plants and trees that will not only work well in a given space but also create lasting beauty.” Annie Wendt and Rafe Borders do the day-to-day gardening at Whitehall, and they assist Hayman, when possible, with community outreach. In fact, Annie has some great advice for anyone looking to get their personal garden ready for spring. “If you’re plant-

ing bulbs or seeds, you really should have done that in November, but it’s not too late. First, you want to clean up your garden, get rid of that debris from the fall and winter. Next you should fertilize as well as use some preemergent [a product that will kill weed seeding before the plants even spring up].” Annie goes on to say that Whitehall, along with other local nurseries, even sell plants and flowers to place in your garden that should flourish once those first steps are met. Annie personally recommends peonies and irises, both of which can be purchased at Whitehall. Whitehall truly is one of Louisville’s most beautiful sights, so if you’d like to bring a little bit of that beauty to your own home, listen to the experts. Don’t be afraid to call them to ask for further help and advice either. Trees and flowers are as eternal as the Earth, so if you enlist Whitehall, you can make a sight that will delight generations to come. VT

The Subtle Horror of “The Witch”

hen it comes to cinema that dares to break away from the norm, the movie industry allows artists more freedom in the horror genre than any other. Moviegoers often desire familiar faces, conventional narratives and happy endings when they’re going to a movie for a laugh, a moving experience or a non-stop thrill-ride. When it comes to getting a big scare, however, a lot of people are willing to put those requirements aside, so long as they can expect to see very nasty things happen to terrified characters on the screen.

with the kind of sparing horror that leaves it to your imagination to visualize worse things than the movie will show you.

Film BENNETT DUCKWORTH

bennettduckworth.blogspot.com

With the disappearance of their youngest resulting in despairing misery of the mother along with the general struggle to survive off the land, the family begins to believe they have been cursed. Fingers are pointed at the older sister for being present whenev-

“The Witch” is a deeply unsettling film, but it dodges the gratifying tropes of most horror movies and feels closer to the patient character examination of Michael Haneke’s the “White Ribbon” or other slow-paced scary stories about people who compromise their love and morality in response to fear. The movie has a dreary yet natural tone with no overt digital manipulations that I could detect. All of the dialogue is spoken in a credible sounding Early Modern English. This is possibly the gutsiest aspect of the film, but leave it to a determined new distribution studio like A24 to get behind a film that takes this kind of risk. Anya Taylor-Joy plays the unimpeachable daughter bound for needless punishment, whose perspective dominates the majority of the film; Harvey Scrimshaw plays her brother who rises to the challenge of a very difficult scene late in the film; the mother is played by the sharp featured Kate Dickie whom some may recognize from “Game of Thrones” (where she played another hysterical mother); but the father leaves the strongest impression through the performance of Ralph Ineson, whose rich guttural voice inspires intimidation despite all the doubt it conceals.

I’m disgusted by this observation, but I always stop to acknowledge when a work of effective art has been produced, even if it takes a built-in audience of sadists for it to happen. Robert Eggers’ “The Witch” is a horror fantasy set in 17th century New England and begins as a father tells leaders of his Puritan town that he intends to guide his family down a more righteous path. Shortly thereafter, the family begins a new life in a territory near a heavily wooded area. The oldest daughter in the family is burdened with heavy responsibilities but enjoys looking after her infant brother until, one day, he vanishes. Without the slightest sense of ambiguity, the movie lets us know that a satanic elderly female dwells in the woods, and the baby’s fate is displayed F E B R U A R Y 2 5 , 2 0 1 6 • W W W .

er sinister happenings occur. Unfunny madness ensues.

3.5 OUT OF 4 WHOLE STARS

This movie is more likely to scare people out of the theatre for being a history lesson with dialogue that is difficult to discern, but those who stay will be treated to a nightmarish world informed by old superstitions that will leave a sense of dread. “The Witch” does not aim to satisfy; it aims to haunt everyone – even the philistine sadists who go to see it without reading anything about it ahead of time.

artists from all over the region, gathered just to celebrate each other. It was a beautiful night,” recalls Huffman. Keith Waits of Arts-Louisville.com and the Louisville Visual Arts Association agrees, “It was great fun and well attended. Many people in the theatre community are reluctant to embrace awards, especially when they aren’t used to having them, but the acceptance speeches were gracious, funny and in one case, an open parody of acceptance speeches from Ryan Lash that was smart and hilarious! It made the ceremony itself theatre worth seeing!” As splendidly as that first evening went over, there are some valid criticisms of the way the nomination and selection processes currently operate. Some have offered the critique that, since voting is so open, the result is, in some cases, a popularity contest. “While it’s not the perfect program for a city like Louisville, at least this template has created a ton of interest and spurred theatre fans all over the region to participate,” says Huffman, “Our goal is an eventual unique, locally-designed awards program, with nominees voted on by a special committee that rotates annually. Other cities with similar arts support have managed to create wonderful local awards, and we can do that too.”

In an effort to do just that, Huffman, Waits and Lana Lindsey – a fierce arts patron with strong ties to the local and national theatre

The Tonys at Home community – are co-producers of the awards ceremony. They invited Amy Attaway of Theatre [502], Erin Keane of Salon.com and Becky Jo Schneider of Derby Dinner Playhouse to join this year’s committee in order to select two awards that fall outside of the Broadway World framework. “We are recognizing William P. ‘Billy’ Bradford II, who has taught at YPAS and Trinity, with the first Theatre Educator’s Award, and Adale O’Brien will receive a Lifetime Achievement Award. She spent 36 seasons with Actors Theatre of Louisville and has been an important mentor for local actors. We invited Amy Attaway, Erin Keane, and Bekki Jo Schneider to help in the decision-making on these, and we intend them to be annual awards,” relates Waits. This committee and the special awards are a fantastic first step to create a true merit-based ceremony. This year’s event will be held on Monday, February 29. The ceremony begins at 7 p.m., with food and bar opening at 6:30 p.m. Come on down to Vault1031 at 1031 S.

Nine-year-old Chester came to the Humane Society late last year as a stray and is still looking for his forever home. This Miniature Pinscher mix may only weigh 13 pounds, but he is a small dog who is full of playful energy! He is crate-trained, absolutely loves squeaky toys with a passion and will work for any kind of treat! Chester is very people-oriented. His loving personality and fun energy level makes him a fantastic loyal companion. Chester is neutered, micro-chipped, up to date on all vaccinations and ready for his forever home! Since Chester thrives in a home, he is going to stay with his foster family as a part of our foster ambassador program until his forever person comes along. To meet Chester, call 502.366.3355 ext. 2260 to set up an appointment. Three-year-old Selvester is a big, beautiful black and white Domestic Longhair mix. He’s a little leery of strangers here in the shelter, but once he gets to know you, he’ll open up. Selvester would love a warm sunspot to nap in, and he needs someone who will be patient with him as he gets to know them. He’s neutered, micro-chipped and up-to-date on his vaccinations. Come meet him at the Kentucky Humane Society’s adoption center at the Preston Feeders Supply location, 5763 Preston Hwy.
