’d like to congratulate all of us on surviving the near Arctic weather.

And I’d like to extend a special congratulations to all those brave and generous Louisvillians who will willingly take the Polar Plunge into the Ohio River this coming weekend, all in the name of raising money for Special Olympics. However, for the rest of us who are anxiously counting down the days until Spring – we take a dip into Spring Home & Garden throughout this week’s issue, just for you.

ing the way in which wood allows for a flow, a lightweight frame, and a length of life most would think could only be found in aluminum or fiberglass products.

Wes Kerrick uses business profile to take you to Brownsboro Hardware & Paint, the perfect place to go for all that can help keep snow and ice at bay, and for preparing for spring. This Louisville treasure has the obligatory snow shovels and salt, but it also has a greenhouse, seeds, bulbs, and pots, not to mention those bright paints you want to liven up the house as you spring clean. With planting and tending in mind, Igor Guryashkin speaks with Botanica’s Kasey Maier, Director of Program Development for Botanica, an organization whose mission is to create downtown Louisville’s own Waterfront Botanical Gardens. This soon-to-be jewel in the crown of downtown will provide a gorgeous space in which to walk, relax, enjoy music and learn about the natural world. With LEED certified buildings, including visitor’s centers, the Gardens will be a working example of sustainability and cultural expression.

The feature story this week explores the work of Louisville’s Brightside, and the excellent work this organization does to ensure that our city’s foliage and canopy remain bright and fresh, all while giving us a means to a healthier lifestyle. These good people do everything from picking up litter, planting trees and flowerbeds, to educating students and the general population about the benefits of a green, sustainable town.

The educational work Brightside does guarantees that their work and values might live on for generations to come.

Chris Connor, owner of Connor Wood Bicycles, shares with us his journey from Denver, Colorado and what has him competing in this year’s North American Handmade Bicycle Show. Connor has created a bike from scratch, made almost entirely from the same ash wood baseball bat billets used

by Louisville Slugger.

Connor explains how this bike is like a poem to nature, highlight-

This week’s home feature has Steve Kaufman examining the history and importance of Louisville’s Olmsted Parks, and the conservancy that cares for and protects those parks. We’re so lucky to have one of the nation’s premier urban park systems, providing an immense amount of open green space where we can breathe fresh air, enjoy sunshine, walk, hike, or just lounge and picnic.

In sports, Tony Vanetti and Matt Jones discuss the complicated and, as of now, convoluted, story of Chris Jones and his dismissal from the UofL men’s basketball team. One way or the other, the Cards, despite losing to Syracuse without Jones just a couple games ago, managed to just pull out a win against the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets. The team was helped a good deal

by Ballard High School alum, Quinten Snider, who played a good share of Jones’ minutes. Mike Rutherford continues the focus on the Cards as he takes a look at what it has meant for UofL, across time, to take on players like Jones, who may have complicated pasts. He reminds us that other such players, like Preston Knowles, have been a blessing to the team and to Cards fans. In Catnip, we explore what it means for this historical UK men’s basketball team to lack a superstar. With the minutes, points, assists and rebounds spread across as many as ten players, the Cats have certainly not been hurt by not having one or two guys who carry the team.

A Louisville favorite, Joey Wagner, celebrated his birthday at 60 West Martini Lounge and Bistro, and on the other side of town the American Heart Association celebrated the annual Heart Ball at the Louisville Marriott Downtown. The Ad Federation of Louisville hosted an evening of honoring creativity at the Louie Awards Gala, that recognizes those who excel in advertising and design. With gala season right around the corner, the Louisville Film Society rang it in the right way with their very own Oscar Watch Party at Copper & Kings Distillery, and tennis fans of all ages gathered for the annual Jason Isaacs Memorial Tennis Tournament to pay tribute to a special athlete.

Relax and Enjoy!

F E AT U R E

Take a drive in Louisville, exit a highway and you may see flashes of color you weren’t expecting. Daffodils perhaps.

Walk through a park and you might spy individuals wearing bright green t-shirts picking up garbage. Perhaps you may stroll through a neighborhood and not see any litter at all.

Through tree plantings, new flower beds, litter clean-ups on a neighborhood and city scale, Brightside has sought to beautify Louisville for years, instilling pride in the community through a clean, green and sustainable city – one step or bulb at a time.

“We’re a small staff but we have big impact,” explains Brightside’s Executive Director, Gina Iorio O’Brien. “That to me is the tradition of Brightside.

You’ve got that strong volunteer base, and that strong recognition, and people are really receptive to Brightside about getting out and doing that volunteer work.”

But the biggest way that Brightside hope to affect change in the community is through education. That education works twofold. Firstly, it provides the community more knowledge about litter, trees, sustainability and community pride, while secondly using the benefits of that education to motivate the community and get them engaged.

While Brightside might be a team of six employees, the reach and history of Brightside ensures that when they have something to say, people usually listen.

“We have an amazingly large volunteer database which means we have a great way of engaging the community with our community wide clean ups,” adds O’Brien who explains that Brightside was able to motivate 11,000 volunteers last spring alone for their community clean-up – cleaning the F E B R U A R Y 2 6 , 2 0 1 5 • W W W . V O I C E -T R I B U N E . C O M

city for one day, while for the fall incarnation the total came close to 6,000. Altogether, Brightside engages with around 25,000 volunteers every single year.

Aside from the annual one day clean-ups O’Brien and her team know that the real key to success is in instilling pride in neighborhoods, in cleanliness and its maintenance. It is pride that will encourage people to keep their neighborhoods and the wider city clean.

“There are a lot of studies that show an area that has pride attached to it has less littering. In a couple of weeks [after the snow] you’ll start to see a lot of litter,” explains O’Brien. “You’ll see one piece of litter and then you’ll see ten pieces of litter, so when you keep an area clean and beautified it stays clean and beautified. It is well known

inated in each district for their contribution to the environment and neighborhood.

to provide cleaning materials; bags, gloves and even arrange garbage pick-up. In fact, last year, close to 60 tons of garbage was cleaned up - the equivalent amount produced by 50 Americans in a year.

But coming out to clean once a year is not enough for O’Brien, whose department has also become synonymous with tree planting. With Louisville being the place for one of the nation’s worst urban heat islands, trees, and specifically having more of them in the city, will go a huge way to reducing the heat island’s effects. To address

this, Brightside commissioned a city-wide tree canopy survey to see where in the city requires more trees, and in fact, the number of trees required in general. While the numbers are yet to be confirmed, one thing is for sure, Louisville needs more trees.

“One of the conversations we need to be having regarding the tree canopy is getting people involved. For example, people should be planting on private property and not just have Brightside plant on public property.”

“In 2011 Mayor Fischer announced that he wanted 10,000 trees planted within the first two years and we met that goal as a community,” adds O’Brien, whose organization oversaw the planting

11

of 5,000 trees in 2014 alone.

Continuing the theme of education, Brightside have a full-time urban forester, Erin Thompson, whose job is to work in the field, help with tree plantings and more importantly act as a troubleshooter for what trees people can and should plant.

“I’m communicating with the public constantly, because people constantly have questions regarding trees,” explains Thompson. “Native trees were here first and they have a lot of benefits, but there are also non-native trees that are good for the area. For example, in the downtown area you’ll find a lot of lacebark elms, which is actually continued on page 12 W W W . V O I C E -T R I B U N E . C O M •

from page 11

a Chinese elm, but is very tolerant of the urban environment. But if you wanted to plant that in your garden on the edge of Iroquois Park, that could have some detrimental effects. They can overtake the native population.”

Trees are the way that Brightside ticks all of the boxes of it’s mission statement, something O’Brien shortens to being about “clean, green and sustainable.” The reason why trees are so important is that they relate directly to the mission.

“Trees have so much value, they help with storm water, air quality and tree canopy,” explains O’Brien.

“We know we have a canopy problem in our community and there are certain areas where we have flood issues – we are in the Ohio Valley. As

for economic development, trees helps with property as people want to live on tree-lined streets.”

And it’s this importance of trees that is further stressed in a new Brightside initiative, The Lorax Project, using Dr. Seuss to teach the importance and benefits of trees to very young children.

“It’s not hands on, but it’s teaching kids the value of a tree,” explains O’Brien, who is using a three year grant Brightside received to reach out to schools. And if schools want to plant on their property Brightside are more than happy to help.

“We could do a planting project in any school that gets in touch. If we got into a relationship with a school that wanted to plant x number of trees

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

on campus then we would be delighted to help.”

One thing that O’Brien wants to stress is that Brightside is always looking for funding. While they are funded by the city, a huge chunk of their money comes from donations and fundraising – they’re a hybrid organization with their own foundation. Therefore annual fundraising events are crucial for their growth and continuity. One key event has been the annual Brightside Bash, which last year took place at Headliner’s Music Hall, featured top local bands and inadvertently introduced hundreds more Louisvillians to the organization.

12

“It’s such a great event, because people who came along for the music, were also able to see what we do and learn a little more about us,” recalls O’Brien. Another key fundraising effort for Brightside is their annual Brightside/Coca-Cola Volleyball Classic, an event that draws teams from a multitude of states and packs in hundreds.

In the end, Brightside want to get people engaged and passionate about keeping the city clean, green and sustainable. Simple things like trees, flowers and a rakes, it seems, can do that really well. VT

Riding Out Of The Park

his year’s North American Handmade Bicycle Show (NAHBS) in Louisville, March 6–9 will feature a bike built for one of Louisville’s signature brands, Louisville Slugger. Connor Wood Bicycles from Denver, Colorado is working with Louisville Slugger to produce a wood bike made from Slugger’s ash wood baseball bat billets. Connor’s bikes are renowned for their beauty, amazing ride and the strength of their wood. American white ash wood, traditionally used to make the Louisville Slugger bats is known for both it’s strength and amazing striking capability.

Following the show it will be installed at the Louisville Slugger Museum & Factory, in downtown Louisville and will be used as an interactive display at the museum. Visitors to the museum will be able to see the bike, spin the cranks and hear the familiar sound of a baseball card flapping in the spokes.

Customization of this bike starts with the frame, which is made entirely from baseball bat billets. Connor received raw billets from the Slugger factory and machined them into a fully wooden bicycle frame. The frame is presently at the Louisville Slugger factory, so that it can be branded with the signature Louisville Slugger logo and have the same durable finish that is applied to its bats applied to the bike.

Following this process the frame will be assembled by Connor back in Denver, CO. Once finished, the bike build will showcase a Gates belt drive, wood handlebars wrapped with Slugger’s bat tape, and a customized leather saddle made from Slugger’s baseball mitt leather. Completing the build are 29’ custom wheels, with a drum brake hub, and carbon fiber forks.

A WOOD BIKE, REALLY? Connor Wood Bicycles founder, Chris Connor points out that, “Wood is a natural choice for bikes; think of its toughness and vibration dampening properties when used in sledge hammers, baseball bats, skis and snowboards.

And when cared for, wood will last and stay strong for decades. If you showcase the beauty of the material with flowing lines and curves you can create something with a look unlike anything out there.” The uniqueness of wood isn’t just limited to its beauty, the wood frame absorbs vibrations from the road and makes a uniquely luscious ride. Says Connor, “Why do you ride? If you do so for the love of the experience, there’s no better way to appreciate riding than on something so beautiful and with such an amazing ride quality. You just can’t beat it.”

Lots of people wonder if wood bikes are heavy. They’re not. The frame weighs around 6 pounds, which is about 2-3 pounds heavier than exotic lightweight frames but lighter than many made from steel and aluminum. Connor’s mountain model weighs in at around 24.5 pounds (with a suspension fork and 11-speed drive train). Most of his bikes weigh less than traditional bikes averaging between 24 and 29 pounds. The e-bike, of course, weighs more sporting it’s electric motor and battery pack.

Wood bikes are strong too. Connor’s wood and Kevlar reinforced frames have been tested and shown to have greater rigidity than even some titanium bikes and his wood handlebars have even supported the weight of a car. Connor’s bikes have demonstrated their strength and durability by competing in Colorado’s Leadville Trail 100 bike race, one of the signature off-road bike races in the world.

Connor’s attention to detail and deep understanding of wood can be seen throughout all his bikes. This is most evident in the beautiful simplicity of the design and in the craftsmanship in the walnut laminates, finger joints, and

bowed, Kevlar-reinforced stays that add to the frame’s dampening ability and durability. Protected with a marine varnish, they endure the elements and stay beautiful for years to come.

Few Lessons in Perfection

uncontrollable temper. he city of Louisville has been set on Every time I've heard this complaint, the same name has popped fire this week by the into my head: Preston Knowles. thousands and thousands of In 2007, Knowles had all of the flaming hot opinions on dissame red flags that Jones did a few missed Cardinal point guard years later. He had been suspendChris Jones. The opinions ed several times from the Clark have ranged from the logiCounty High School basketball MIKE cal, "it's a loss, but maybe the team for "attitude problems," and was even kicked off the Kentucky team will rally around this RUTHERFORD @cardchronicle All-Star boys' basketball team the news," to the indefensibly summer after he signed with UofL. irrational, "Hall of Fame coach Rick What Knowles didn't have was any of the Pitino who won a national championaccolades Jones did. Knowles was a twoship here 22 months ago is terrible at star recruit with no major scholarship offers his job." besides the one from Rick Pitino. A far cry One of the most consistent, middle-of-thespectrum opinions I've heard is that UofL made an error in taking Jones to begin with.

He was a two-time Junior College Player of the Year who was rated as the No. 1 JUCO prospect in the country at the time he signed with the Cardinals, but he also had a history of being immature and having a sometimes

from Jones, who chose the Cards over the likes of Kanas, Baylor, and Florida State.

Still, each signing was viewed as something of a risk by a chunk of the Louisville fan base.

Knowles arrived at UofL with low expectations and a short leash. He rewarded Pitino's good faith right away by providing instant energy on defense whenever he was

inserted into a game, a characteristic which also made him an immediate fan favorite.

He kept the intensity up but also saw his role increase with each passing season, helping the Cardinals win a Big East title and reach a pair of NCAA Tournament regional finals between 2008 and 2010.

Before Knowles' senior season of 201011, Rick Pitino famously remarked that he expected the campaign to be a "bridge year," an attempt to prepare Cardinal fans for a worst-case-scenario he believed to be entirely possible. Instead, Knowles became the leading scorer and the face of a team that exceeded the entire nation's expectations.

Their effort delighted UofL fans night after night, who turned out in droves to watch the team during its first season at the KFC Yum! Center. When the dust settled, Knowles and the Cards had overachieved to the tune of 25 victories, a Big East Tournament championship game appearance, and a number four seed in the NCAA Tournament.

For a fan base that had been dealing with far too much disappointment on the court and controversy off it, the Knowles-inspired season was an imperative breath of fresh air.

Pitino himself credited the team -- which he still often describes as "the Preston Knowles team" -- with making the game fun for him again, and convincing him that he still wanted to do this for many more years.

While guys like Peyton Siva, Russ Smith, Gorgui Dieng, and Luke Hancock are always going to be viewed as the faces of this "era of good feelings" for Cardinal basketball, it's important to remember that Knowles was the player who got it all started. That wouldn't have happened without an initial leap of good faith.

Taking Chris Jones was a risk, and it was a risk that ultimately did not pay dividends for Louisville. That doesn't mean it was an incomprehensible decision at the time, or that it will be the wrong move in the future to take a player with a similar background.

At one point during his senior season, Knowles, a player who had been described as "too selfish and immature" to ever make it at Louisville, gave the following quote: "As long as we win, I couldn't care less; my average can go down to four points and zero rebounds. As long as we win, I don't care."

Athletes, gamblers, and people in business always remember their bad luck losses more than their surprise victories. The modern sports fan is often a victim of the same flawed perspective. VT

Louisville coach Rick Pitino, was not happy with Preston Knowles after he was whistled for an technical foul late against Providence on Feb. 18, 2009.

And then, sometimes, it’s just the Fabulous One! UCLA had Lew Alcindor, then Bill Walton; the University of San Francisco had Bill Russell; LaSalle had Tom Gola; Michigan State had Earvin Johnson; Kansas had Danny Manning; Georgetown had Patrick Ewing; UConn had Kemba Walker.

I’m not saying they were all surrounded by walk-ons from the YMCA league, but none of them was part of a 20-minute platoon. And try taking any one of those away from his NCAA championship team and see what you’ve got left.

The great 1996 Kentucky team, still considered the gold standard around here, had great depth – Delk, McCarty, Pope, Walker, Anderson, Sheppard, Mercer, Epps, Turner. The minutes were spread evenly – seven players averaged 19 minutes or more – though not nearly as evenly as this year’s team.

Nor were the points. Delk averaged 17.8 points per game, Walker 15.2 – you don’t see numbers like that on this team. And if you think back to their tournament run, Tony Delk’s name emerges above all the rest.

If this 2015 team goes undefeated and/ or wins the NCAA title, who will they be recalling as the individual star in 10 or 15 years? Very hard to predict right now. Probably depends on the night.

You’ve Gotta Have Faith!

A

s we near the 60-day milepost on the journey to this year’s 141st running of the Kentucky Derby, one message becomes increasingly clear: with this Derby, you’ve got to have faith!

Horse Sense JOHN ASHER

Faith is always required for owners and admirers of horses on the Kentucky Derby trail. But a larger-than-usual dose could be required for a list of 2015 contenders that are two months into their 3-year-old season with looking through a crowded starting gate.

To keep their wits about them in the dwindling pre-Derby weeks, the connections and fans of many top contenders for this year’s race require faith in the skills of their trainers, the talent and durability of the horses themselves, and that they’ll overcome intangible factors – such as potential hurdles provided by Mother Nature.

At best, several major Derby 141 players will have, at this point, only two prep races for their big day. There will be little margin for error for these contenders, who include: American Pharoah: Zayat Stables’ reigning 2-year-old champion was last seen in action when he toyed with eventual Breeders’ Cup Juvenile winner Texas Red in the Front Runner Stakes on Sept. 27 at Santa Anita. Knocked out of the Breeders’ Cup race by injury, the son of 2009 Kentucky Derby runner-up Pioneer of the Nile is training well and, if he can avoid a misstep, will make his 2015 bow in the March 14 Rebel Stakes at Oaklawn Park.

Texas Red: A dominant winner of the Breeders’ Cup Juvenile and a courageous runner-up in his seven-furlong 2015 debut in Santa Anita’s Feb. 1 San Vicente, the son of 2005 Preakness and Belmont winner Afleet Alex was sent to the farm following that race to recover from a foot abscess. The last published workout for Texas Red came on Jan. 24, but trainer Keith Desormeaux hopes to the colt back to Santa Anita for a return to serious training around the first of March.

Carpe Diem: Trainer Todd Pletcher’s winner of Keeneland’s Claiborne Breeders’ Futurity was last seen chasing Texas Red F E B R U A R Y 2 6 , 2 0 1 5 • W W W . V O I C E -T R I B U N E . C O M

home on Nov. 1 as runner-up in the Breeders’ Cup Juvenile.

Carpe Diem has had no reported problems. His trainer has simply chosen a deliberate path for the colt’s bid to seize the day at Churchill Downs on the first Saturday in May. He is set for a 2015 debut in the Tampa Bay Derby on March 7.

Ocho Ocho Ocho: Trainer James Cassidy’s California-based colt has not competed since his Nov. 22 triumph in the $1 million Delta Jackpot at Louisiana’s Delta Downs, but should return to action soon.

Each member of that quartet of Derby 141 hopes has undeniable talent, but will require a good bit of skill and more than a little luck over the next few weeks to be on top their respective games when and if they arrive at Churchill Downs.

Residing on another point in the pre-Derby emotional spectrum is Al Shaqab Racing’s unbeaten Khozan. The son of Distorted Humor has scored easy wins in two starts and is a half-brother to Royal Delta, a champion mare who carries the rich blood of the female line at Kentucky’s Lane’s End Farm.

But should Khozan embark on a serious journey in pursuit of the Kentucky Derby, significant faith will be required that this rising star that has the right stuff to overcome the last long-held tenets on what is required to win a Kentucky Derby.

Khozan must break the so-called “Curse of Apollo.”

The Pletcher-trained Khozan did not race as a 2-year-old. His debut win came on Jan. 24 and he won again last Sunday.

The most recent horse win the Kentucky Derby without the benefit of at least one race at two was Apollo, who won his Derby on May 16, 1882.

“All the world is made of faith, and trust, and pixie dust,” wrote J.M. Barrie in his classic “Peter Pan.” The important thing for all of these horses is that they carried the Derby Dream to this date on the calendar. There is ample reason for both hope and faith, but if you could spare a little of that pixie dust, it could come in handy for all what remains of the road to Kentucky Derby 141. VT

Taylor’s 10 The junior forward scored 21 KENT points, pulled down TAYLOR WAVE3 Sports 14 rebounds and blocked three shots.

He was also involved in the most controversial play of the game. Late in the first half, after a Terry Rozier miss, Harrell grabbed an offensive rebound, was off balance, and afraid of falling out of bounds, he threw the ball off of Miami's Tonye Jekiri. Only, Harrell threw the ball off of Jekiri's face. Hurricanes head coach Jim Larranaga felt as if Harrell was frustrated at that point in the game and took it out on Jekiri. Harrell was assessed a flagrant foul.

SPORTS

t Can’t Keep a Good Card Down Take us through the play when you were trying to save the ball and got the flagrant foul?

It was a basketball play. The ball went up in the air, all my momentum was going towards out of bounds. I was looking for someone to throw the ball off of. I threw the ball off of Jekiri, he ducked, he got hit in the face, simple as that.

Jim Larranaga said that he thought it was intentional. What would you say to that?

I don't care what nobody has to say who wasn't in that basketball game.

So it wasn't intentional?

I know I didn't intentionally try to hurt the player. If that was the case, I would have done it the first time when I threw the ball off the guy’s body. Whatever everybody is trying to say to make it more than what it is, it's basketball, I mean you're going to get hit in all types of ways.

Everybody gets elbowed in the face, what are you going to say, that's intentional, too. It's a basketball play.

After dropping three of four, how important was just getting a win?

What did Quentin Snider show you at Syracuse?

It was real important to get a win. We dropped a tough one at Syracuse; Chris missed the game. There was a lot that contributed to us losing that game. We took a lot of bad shots. We needed a win and so did Miami.

Q gave us great minutes, and I feel like he's getting more and more confident in every game and every practice

How did it feel to hit some game-winning free throws, is that a different kind of pressure?

It is, after going three for nine at the free throw line at Syracuse, I went back to the gym and shot some extra free throws, and also stayed after practice, and shot more free throws. It's about getting reps up. In practice I hit a majority of all my free throws, and I knew that I was a better free throw shooter than I showed at Syracuse.

What is going through your mind when you step up to the line?

Just don't think about your last miss, you know; step up there with confidence, go through my routine and shoot the free throw.

23

How much better is Chinanu Onuaku getting, especially as an offensive rebounder?

We needed the extra possessions. Chinanu was following the flight of the ball, and he did what Kenneth Faried does, what Coach is always talking about. Following the flight of the ball, getting low, and chasing after every rebound.

L.A. Lakers general manager Mitch Kupchak was sitting on the baseline, what does that mean to know that he was here checking you out?

It's definitely exciting to have any GM sitting here watching you, but those are things that you can't worry about. Those are things that you have to worry about after the season. It's just about playing hard, playing aggressive. I try to go out play hard and give my team extra possessions. VT W W W . V O I C E -T R I B U N E . C O M •

McGrath achieves her goals of having Northwestern Mutual enjoys putting special athletes in the lime light. This recognition involves students who display both athletic and academic prowess. McGrath will swim for Princeton University next school year. In academics, she is off the charts with a 4.2 grade point average. McGrath signifies the Northwestern Mutual Athlete of the Month. When asked what this recognition means to her, she said, “This is an amazing opportunity. When I heard I was nominated for the athlete of the month, it just made me so happy that I’ve been recognized for what I have been doing.”

McGrath also swims for the Lakeside Seahawks, a swimming summer league. She received an award from Lakeside for being the most improved swimmer. She has broken a plethora of relay records for

straight A’s in school. Not surprising for a young lady who is on her way to the Ivy League, representing the prestigious Princeton University. She always had the dream to one day be a Princeton student, let alone swim for them. “It’s like a dream come true. During the snow break, I was sitting and [thinking] like wow, I’m going to the best school in the world. Well, I call it the best school. And I was like, ‘Is it real?’ because before I wasn’t actually sure if they wanted me on the team, but I kept getting better during the summer and I made the cut. I was chosen, and it was so surreal.”

perpetual. “Every time I have to get up on the blocks, I have to clear my mind and not let anything get in the way, because if I let myself think about the pain, then it’s nearly impossible to get myself to do well. You have to be able to clear your mind and have the courage to do that, and fight the pain throughout the races.”

McGrath’s character has developed through persistence and discipline. She doesn’t believe in being absent. “I’m very determined. If I want to do well, I’m going to keep working to do well. I cannot miss practice unless I’m sick with the flu, and I can’t miss school either. I have my goals.” For a young lady with tons of potential, she hopes to one day swim for Team USA.

The Jones Fallout

TONY VANETTI: Well, there really is not much going on with the University of Louisville basketball team, so let’s just go right to the University of Kentucky and their streak…

MATT JONES: Nah, I think there’s some things to talk about with Louisville. First of all that was an epic performance against Georgia Tech. in a game that you needed a miraculous comeback to beat, had to really make you optimistic about the post Chris Jones era.

VANETTI: You know this is how bad it got, Joe

Minardi is on the show making fun of the two teams while he’s talking to me about bracketology, I was like okay we’ve hit a new low here. Was it terrible – actually it was.

JONES: Well it’s the worst game I’ve seen this year and I watched Louisville vs. Miami just a couple of days before. It was equally as bad. You know, what’s important, they could have lost both those games and both those games they were down in the last T.V. timeout and they won. So in that respect, that’s a positive…but they’re just terrible. If Terry Rozier is not hitting 3-pointers, they can’t score, and by can’t score I mean can’t score at all.

VANETTI: They missed a lot of shots and it used to be they could go on the road – they were shooting at one point, on the road 56% from the floor, just about. So you were thinking alright, well the road games at least will win. But that number has fallen off, and I don’t know why.

And I’m not talking about contested shots, but wide open lay ups are coming off the rim. It is just a mystery and no matter how many times you see it, it still just sort of amazes anybody that’s watching the game. You’re hoping that that trend stops at some point. I don’t know if you can coach that out, or if it’s just a slump that you’re in and that when the tournament starts at least maybe I could wish.

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

JONES: Let’s talk about the dissmissal of Chris Jones. Did it surprise you then, and now that we know part of the story we don’t know all the story, what happened. Do you think it was the right decision?

VANETTI: I think it probably was. They were so abrupt on Sunday, because obviously we can talk about the timeline all day, it’s very confusing but the end result after a one game suspension was getting kicked off the team very abruptly...I thought everything was taken care of and all of a sudden the e-mail comes out Sunday afternoon that he’s no longer on the team. What he did, it’s on him. I think it’s on Rick because if you’re gonna take responsibility for a high GPA then you have to take responsibility for a kid you have to dismiss. But he is certainly going to hurt this team and I don’t know.

JONES: I also think Tom Jurich has some explaining to do. It comes out with this text message police report comes out at 2 o’clock and he was suspended that night from the game, which is fine. Then they played Syracuse on Wednesday and Tom Jurich was quoted on Wednesday as saying that the that the incident involving Jones was ‘no big deal.’ Well I think he should have to answer. Does he consider that text message ‘no big deal?’ Tony I think a legitimate question to ask him, and I hope someone does it because I do think he has to explain that.

VANETTI: I think that the University has to deal with the luggage and I think Tom over the 15 years he’s been at Louisville, has dealt with a lot of crap, and I think he’s just trying to be positive on a show and try to support the kid.

JONES: Yeah but all that may be true Tony, but don’t you think he should have to answer a question?

VANETTI: No question. I think everyone needs

26

to answer the question, okay? I think Louisville need to answer why the startngpoint uard had to go. I think there’s a lot of questions to be answered but it just happens to be at the end of the season and they pulled the card of “we’re handling it internally.” The only way it doesn’t is if there’s another report or another criminal investigation and the news media can open that wound again.

JONES: Without Chris Jones, do Louisville have any run in them when it comes to the NCAA tournament?

VANETTI: Louisville was a decent to a good team with Chris Jones. Without him they could be fringed. This all hinges on Wayne Blackshear.

If he can step up and be a senior these last couple weeks and start to produce in the way that we know he can then things could change. But they are going to have to have some shots fall, get lucky to get to the Sweet Sixteen.

JONES: For Kentucky, they’re still undefeated.

Do they lose before the NCAA?

VANETTI: No, no, Kentucky is not gonna lose.

I’m not gonna into whether the SEC is good or not. We all know that they struggle. But it is a football league and they’re trying to build some teams up, Bruce Pearl was a good move, Florida will be back next year – they’ll be better than they are this year, they better, the league needs them.

So I’m not gonna get into how bad the SEC is.

Kentucky has its run of the table. Here’s the thing: if you look back at 2012, Vanderbilt was a good, I actually had them in my Final 4 that year. So Kentucky lost to a good Vandy team. In ‘96, that Mississippi State team went to the Final Four. So you had to lose to good teams to get into those tournaments. I don’t see a team that can beat them. Arkansas is pretty good, but I don’t see that. What team is there to take advantage?

Shopping Among the Ancients

n Bali, a 30 mile excursion from our Silversea ship, the Silver Whisper, took us to the village of Sukiwati for a shopping orgy that included beautiful woven handbags, table place mats and other local handcrafts.

Following this “retail therapy” we were happy to come home to our “floating nest” and cool off with cold drink and a bath!

ner we had a panoramic look at the capital of this sovereign nation, independent since 1984, and Jerudong Park where the Sultan of Brunei has established world-class recreation and sports facilities.

The Grand Mosques, the Sultan Omar Ali Saifuddin Mosque and the Jame’ Asr’ Hassanil Bolkiah Mosque, are relatively new and they are breath-taking with their great golden domes and intricate marble and tile work.

Upon arrival at the Polo and Riding Club we were served coconut water in coconuts (no alcohol in this country) in the two story grand foyer of the Royal Berkshire Hall. Then we were escorted to the exquisite dining room. Its design and décor appear to have been heavily influenced by European style. The dining/ballroom was enormous, having grand marble columns along the sides with balconies and unbelievable crystal chandeliers. The barrel ceiling has an elaborate gold leafed design, out-doing Buckingham Palace. It was lavish and elegant.

We were seated at round tables with white floor-length cloths, heavy gold arm chairs, and servers in uniform for each table. I just had to look…..their silver and the china were from Asprey in London!

Nevertheless, it was funny to see a souvenir table set up outside the ballroom! But then polo players from all over the world come there to play and everyone wants something to take home. I have a souvenir plate to remind me of a fantastic evening.

Overnight we sailed to Kota Kinabalu, Borneo where I toured the city and Brad went to a wildlife park for rescued animals and saw proboscis monkeys, orangutans, pygmy elephants and more.

Next stops will be Haikou, China and Hong Kong. Shopping heaven. 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 6 , 2 0 1 5

Polar Bears Unite in the Plunge Brown-Forman Ampitheatre in Waterfront Park, plays host to the Polar Plunge which marks its seventeenth year on Saturday, Feb. 28. More than 1,300 people are expected to take a chilly plunge in the Ohio River from the docks below the amphitheater.

The Plunge is much like a walk-a-thon, with Polar Bears raising a bear minimum of $75 to take the leap. Every Polar Bear receives an official Polar Plunge t-shirt and Polar Bear Club Certificate. But participants who raise more money can earn even greater rewards.

The top male and female fundraisers will be named King and Queen of the Plunge, and the top younger fundraisers will be named Prince and Princess.

charity SPOTLIGHT

W

ine, Women and Shoes has become a favorite on the Louisville social calendar, a chance for attendees to enjoy, well, wine and shoes. This year's event in aid of Family Scholar House is aiming to be bigger and better than last year, so we caught up with Rashna Carmicle, organizer of this year's event.

For those who don't know, what is Wine Women and Shoes?

Wine, Women & Shoes is a fabulous event benefiting Family Scholar House and will be held on March 6 at the Henry Clay.

This sophisticated evening of wine tasting from several of California’s finest vintners will also include a world-class fashion show produced by Saks Fifth Avenue, silent and live auctions, and a shopping marketplace featuring many of today’s hottest fashion designers.

Why is Family Scholar House such an important cause?

Family Scholar House is transforming our community through education. Our mission is to end the cycle of poverty, and transform our community, by empowering families and youth to succeed in education and achieve life-long self-sufficiency. Last year, through a full continuum of care, Family Scholar House served 2,479 families with 3,952 children, and over 198 babies on the way. We provide educational support and case management services including: residential housing and rental assistance, financial assistance for childcare and transportation, academic advising and career support, food assistance through donations, and referrals to other community resources.

Wine, Women & Shoes

What can guests expect this year that they may not have seen last year?

New wines, new fashion, fabulous (and unique) auction items... Let's just say celebrity women meet little black dresses.

How much personal satisfaction is there in helping to stage this event?

It is so rewarding to help The Family Scholar House and their mission in any way that I can. I’ve chaired and served as a volunteer for many of their fundraising events over the years, but I absolutely love the uniqueness that this event brings to Louisville. Plus, it combines a few of my favorite things…fine wine, fabulous shoes and fun, all for a great cause! You do not want to miss it!

Are tickets still available?

Also, how else can people get involved?

We do have a few more seats available and chances to our ARGI Financial Keyto-theCloset $15,000 Saks Fifth A v e n u e shopping spree, but they are going quick! Visit www.winewomenandshoes. com/Louisville to purchase yours today! Family Scholar House offers lots of opportunities to volunteer or contribute to our great work. You can contact Nicole Gabriel at ngabriel@ familyscholarhouse.org to learn more! VT

This is not the first year that the event has been staged. It must be heartening to know how much support there is in the community for it, correct?

Last year was a fabulous success, and this year is going to be even more so! We are so lucky to have so many community partners who value the role we play in ending the cycle of poverty. Women and men, alike, value supporting such a great cause!

St. Albert the Great

A

fter the week of snow days, cabin fever, and no fish, the Fry Guys were ready to let loose at St. Albert the Great, centrally located on Girard Drive. Fortunately, the Fry was open for business last Fryday, and even better, St. Albert lived up to its name.

FISH St. Albert offers a choice of fried or baked cod dinner, or shrimp platter, at an affordable $7.25. The sandwich is a large piece of cod on your choice of white, wheat, or rye and comes with two sides. A great value that satisfied even the hungriest Fryars.  SIDES/DESSERTS If you want to choose from among all the sides St. Albert’s has to offer, come early, because the mac ‘n’ cheese, green beans, and baked potatoes didn’t last the whole night. Extra points for the less-than-conventional tots, versus fries, and the best hush puppies this side of the Watterson. Homemade baked goods include everything from brownies to pumpkin pie.

BEVERAGES A friendly beer booth featuring Bud products, including Bud Light Lime and Bud-Light-Ritas, is strategically placed in the corner of the spacious gym where eager Fry-goers wait in line. In the other corner, Bud draft products, including AmberBock, are available. The easy access to cold beverages made the line-waiting a little less painful for most.

cashiers, or all of the above. The Fry Guys were grateful St. Albert opened its doors on a night that a lot of parishes did not.

VENUE St. Albert hosts one of the biggest Frys in Louisville. With its spacious gym for dining-in, and its school cafeteria set up for take-out orders, it’s wellequipped to handle the crowd. Even with the sea of patrons, it’s not difficult to belly up to a nearby table and make friends with fellow Fry-goers.

OVERALL There’s a reason St. Albert is one of the town’s most popular spots on Fryday night during Lent, and the Fry Guys enjoyed learning why. A wonderful environment to celebrate family, friends, and good eats, its Fish Fry puts the “great” in St. Albert the Great. VT

Scores Based On A Five-Fish Rating System Next week, the Fryars travel to Immaculate Conception, 502 N. Fifth St., La Grange, Ky.

FRIENDLINESS In addition to the beer, the people at St. Albert make the wait time seem shorter than it is. St. Albert is great place to meet Fry-going families and chat. A lot of its volunteers started doing it 20 years ago, and still work in the kitchen and beer booths, as

o conflate two of John Calipari’s favorite references, Jack Fry’s is “everybody’s Super Bowl” around here. The go-to place for an anniversary, birthday, wedding rehearsal dinner, before the movie, after the movie, Saturday night, Sunday night, weeknight, lunch.

Tastes

please), or someone else’s spicy fried oysters or filet mignon, and you risk losing that loyalty. So Brown admits to a tricky balancing act, introducing one or two items at a time to let the clientele become used to his style of food, his preparations, his plating.

With that in mind, he has plunged ahead with foie gras. And not just any foie gras, but a heavenly cube of fattened goose liver sitting on a buttery toasted brioche crouton. A gastrique of grapefruit and white wine brings some tang to the mild flavors, and Brown dresses the dish with a couple of segments of bruléed grapefruit and a sprinkling of sweet pomegranate seeds. The combination of flavors makes this both a deeply delicious and refreshing appetizer.

STEVE KAUFMAN

And therefore, Chef McClain Brown “has a target on his back,” ever since he stepped in to replace Shawn Ward in the Jack Fry’s kitchen. Louisville watched to see if Brown would change the menu, improve it – ruin it?

It’s been a year, and time to announce, if you don’t already know it, that it’s business-as-better-than-usual emerging from the kitchen.

After all, Brown was Ward’s sous chef for seven years. He knows Jack Fry’s customers, and what they like and expect. Before that, he was also a line cook under Anthony Lamas at Seviche, so he’s familiar with international preparations that sometimes stretched his comfort zone. And he managed the kitchen at Lynn’s Paradise Café, too. So solid American tastes and Southern specialties are well within his purview.

But Brown is a chef, and chefs like to invent and improve, to tinker and introduce their own takes, even on the staples. So you just knew the restaurant was going to evolve, from Sean Ward’s place to McLain Brown’s place.

And it has, albeit slowly. This is an extraordinarily loyal clientele, after all, and Brown didn’t want to be make radical changes right away.

The owner, Stephanie Meeks, told me that a man comes into the restaurant every night, sits at the bar and orders shrimp and grits. Sometimes he eats there, sometimes he takes it home – but same dish, every night!

Take away his shrimp and grits, or my wife’s warm Brie salad, or my Jack’s burger (rare,

Combinations of taste are also at play in the lunch entree, a house-made sausage. Whipped potatoes are generally along for any ride to sop up the gravy and fill the tummy, but Brown’s whipped potatoes are creamy and delectable all by themselves, with flecks of onions.

The gravy those potatoes are busily absorbing is a tasty Old Rasputin Brown Ale reduction, and the sausage – Jack Fry’s makes it own – is a mild but flavorsome veal, pork and roasted garlic sausage. Caraway and fennel add their flavors, as well.

For example, the fish dish. While I enjoyed the trout, I was intrigued by a new fish entrée Brown has introduced, but which wasn’t available the day we were there: snowy or black grouper served as his play on chowder, in a heavy cream sauce with clams, potatoes and smoked bacon.

He says that’s been one of the restaurant’s most popular new offerings, almost rivaling the near-legendary salmon.

Another successful introduction has been a veal tenderloin with a caramelized lemon jus and those ricotta gnocchi, now nearly as popular as the best-selling lamb chops.

Brown says he does much of his experimenting with a couple of specials both at lunch and dinner. “We have customers who always order the specials, by default,” he says. “They’re our regulars, they know our menu and they’re comfortable giving us the feedback we need.”

So far, so great.

Jack Fry’s is located at 1007 Bardstown Road, 502.452.9244, www.jackfrys.com. Lunch is served Mon.-Fri., 11 a.m. - 2:30 p.m., and dinner is served Mon.-Sat., 5:30-11 p.m.; Sun, 5:30-10 p.m. VT

I’m a sucker for roast chicken on the bone, as long as the meat is tender throughout. Brown guarantees that by marinating his heirloom chicken in a sweet tea brine, then serving the quarter cut on a bed of pesto cream, with a skullcap of crisp, flavorful skin, and a scattering of broccolini.

The star of the plate, though, is a side of ricotta gnocchi, a wonderfully creamy alternative to the more familiar potato gnocchi. The little pillows of pasta and cheese are melt-in-yourmouth sweet, soft and tender.

Finally, a filet of rainbow trout is served on a busily colorful plate, underneath a canopy of red and white quinoa, zucchini, carrot, cucumber and grilled pineapple slaw with a sprinkling of marcona almonds.

A dinner at Jack Fry’s has always had a bittersweet aspect to it, because in choosing to order one dish you’re failing to taste another (unless you have a willing dinner companion, and you’re a sharer – which I am not). That’s especially true in Brown’s restaurant these days, because the kitchen has so many new dishes and they’re not always featured on particular nights.

Best Pictures of the Past Film Review BENNETT DUCKWORTH

W

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.

hat should it mean when a movie wins Best Picture? It’s a grand kind of recognition, but how long will we continue to recognize it? Some films are too heavy to revisit easily. Others are temporarily praised, but lose their value as people collectively outgrow them.

Regardless, here are just a few Best Picture winners, which I tend to revisit.

CASABLANCA (1943) This movie took a few views before I understood the subtle allure of its hero, Rick (Humphrey Bogart), who survives by putting up a careless front as he manages a club full of wealthy refugees desperately fleeing Nazis.

THE SILENCE OF THE LAMBS (1991) LAWRENCE OF ARABIA (1962) David Lean’s dramatized story of T.E. Lawrence (Peter O’Toole) uniting Arab tribes to fight the Turkish army during World War I is just about as rich as they come. (Best viewed as a two-parter. Watch it up to the intermission mark and watch the rest another night)

THE GODFATHER (1972) It’s compelling for the same reason “Breaking Bad” is. It follows the corruption of a good man who enters a world of crime that has always been waiting for his rule.

It may have beat out better and more daring films in 1994, but I always get misty-eyed at the end. I admire how gorgeously the passing of time is portrayed. Is it manipulative? Sure.

But if it succeeds in manipulating me again and again, then I respect it.

THE LORD OF THE RINGS: THE RETURN OF THE KING (2003) While this movie beat out “Master and Commander: The Far Side of the World” for Best Picture in 2003, I can’t begrudge the Academy’s decision to award one of the most remarkable accomplishments in fantasy film history.

This movie completed a trilogy better than any other third part had before – even if it took a long time to end.

I’m glad that “Birdman” is this year’s best picture winner. While I liked “Whiplash” more, I still felt compelled to buy both on Blu-ray.

Let’s see which one I find myself re-watching in the years that follow. VT

Jonathan Demme’s psychologically engaging horror film is seen through the eyes of an untrusting female FBI agent (Jodie Foster) overcoming her vulnerability when seeking consultation from an incarcerated serial killer (Anthony Hopkins).

originally conceived as a murder mystery.

Allen scrapped the superficial plot when he realized the relationship story between he and Diane Keaton was far more interesting. I think it’s perfectly bittersweet, if not hilarious.

LIFE

Bubbleicious over a long period of time, it was natural to have friends just add an overdub here or there when they were over hanging out. Sometimes it was to have a community chorus kind of vibe, sometimes because we knew someone who could play an instrument we couldn't, and sometimes just to put a touch of someone else's energy on something.

Tell me about things you've learned in the journey from starting the band to where you're at now.

While it doesn't feel like we've learned any lessons or anything, it does seem like we are a very different band, or are coming at things from a different angle now compared to when we first started playing out as a band. I can't speak for the others, but I feel like we are more confident now.

It helped that people seemed pretty responsive, from the beginning.

I think we learned that we don't have to be too serious, and that we can be ourselves. Not that we are overconfident and think that people will like whatever we do. I just feel like we don't have to go out there trying to keep a straight face and be all "Louisville" about everything. I think we feel pretty free to quirk out. The people that like us probably like the lighter, silly side.

Maybe I personally have learned a few lessons; mostly to not ramble so damn much and getting my wannabe stand-up comedian on between songs. I've learned to shut my mouth and keep a little mystique. The main thing I'd like to learn is how to move and look human onstage. I love doing this so much, but I don't think I look like I'm having much fun from my stiff presence onstage ... when not making Nancy Kerrigan jokes, that is.

The store is also an authorized service center for both Weber grills and the Big Green Egg. And when it comes to regular hardware, Lehrer believes in always being flexible, to satisfy his customers’ individual needs.

“The ceramic is the secret.”

If you’re looking to freshen your rooms with trendy colors, Brownsboro Hardware & Paint stocks the full selection of Benjamin Moore Paint.

“If you want one wood screw… you can buy one,” he said. “You don’t have to buy a package; you don’t have to buy 10. If you need three, you can get three.”

None of Benjamin Moore’s paints contain any of the harmful chemicals called volatile organic compounds that are found in some other brands of paint.

“People are becoming more and more conscious of those types of things,” Lehrer said.

The Lehrers have been at this long enough that they can anticipate what products their customers will need. And when ordering them, they’re not afraid to aim high.

“We’re willing to take risks to be sure we have the products people need,” Lehrer said. “Because we’ve built this reputation of always having it, we’re not going to be out.”

Owners Jim and Marilyn Lehrer.

The Prospect location features a 2,000-plus square foot Garden Center with a heated greenhouse. “We can get flowers in a lot sooner than many other people in town,” Lehrer said. “It’s a great way to get your hands a little dirty and plant some flowers that are going to be frost-resistant.”

All of the store’s grills come with free assembly, and most of them with free delivery. “When we do bring the grill out, it’s not like we’re just going to put it on your deck and walk away,” Lehrer said. “Our staff will help you understand how to cook on it.”

I’m not well read or well trained in gardening. I just seek advice from experienced people, when I need it. Simply tending something can be a great learning experience, as long as you don’t neglect it.

One important thing I know about gardening, is that animals can find them to be resourceful as well.

While I haven’t gotten into fall/winter gardening, the longtime survivor of the garden is typically, the thyme, which is fine by me. Most fresh herbs are something I miss all winter. There’s something speF E B R U A R Y 2 6 , 2 0 1 5 • W W W . V O I C E -T R I B U N E . C O M

Not long after that night, my girlfriend and I were cleaning out the garden one warm and dry day, to prep it for new soil. When we got to the oregano plant, a bunny jumped out, revealing a hole beneath the plant. It became clear how the plant had survived the winter. This rabbit wasn’t simply passing through. She was emerging from her winter home after giving birth.

The scared bunny found a corner of the garden in which to sit, petrified, while our dog roamed the area, hilariously oblivious to the little critter.

We got the dog inside and made a trip to get soil, hoping that the mother might vacate the premises, and take the little ones with her, before we started charging rent.

As soon as I poured in the tomatoes, bringing everything to a boil, it was time for seasoning and I remembered the miracle oregano right outside.

Thankfully, that was the case when we returned.

When we finished cleaning off the plant, it was remarkable how these furry things not only kept it warm the entire winter, but also allowed it to grow bigger. Normally, rabbits are known for being a menace in the garden, but I suppose this case was a great exception.

I walked through a light rain toward the plant, when I realized a startled brownish-grey rabbit was sitting in the plant, staring at me. As it wouldn’t budge, I walked back inside and looked through the window to get a better view without disturbing the

This same Oregano plant died a couple months ago. After the recent heavy snow and freezing temperatures, I doubt it will come back. Maybe this spring, I’ll remember to plant a rabbit before the seeds. VT

When to Repair or Replace Your Roof Written by James Dulley, Creators.com

Dear James: Over the past six months, I have noticed dark spots on my bedroom ceiling after it rains. I don’t know if my roof needs to be repaired or replaced. How will I know when it’s time for an entire re-roofing job? — Carol S. Dear Carol: The actual life span of a roof system is determined by many factors — your local climate and environmental conditions, proper building and roof system design, material quality and suitability, proper application and adequate roof maintenance.

A worn roof can lead to leaks, ruined plaster or drywall. If not corrected it can lead to rot in the rafters, walls and ceilings, and even the floors. It is a good idea to inspect your ceilings regularly for stains or discolorations that often indicate roof problems.

If a shingle roof is over 20 years old and you notice any leaks, a complete re-roofing job is probably best. If it is under 15 years old, and the leaks are concentrated in only one or two small areas, making repairs is your best option.

Inspect the underside of the roof with a bright flashlight from inside the attic. A few pinholes in the sheathing are normal. These usually swell shut when the roof is wet. If you see signs of water leakage near pinholes, though, stick a piece of wire through the hole to see if it easily penetrates the shingles, too.

You should check your roof twice a year — fall and spring. If extensive work is necessary, the summer months will provide warm, dry weather for the repairs. The heat is particularly helpful when repairing old asphalt shingles.

oh, by the way...

I’m never too busy for any referrals.

If there appears to be any sagging, it could indicate structural problems from a prolonged leak.

Inspect the roof ’s surface. Look for obvious damage first — curled shingle edges, cracked tiles, warped wood shakes or missing shingles.

Inspect the flashings for rust spots and broken seals along the edges.

Look for heavy wear around the valleys (the places where water runs off into the gutters).

Inspect flashing areas around the chimneys and vent pipes, and check for cracks, gaps and missing caulking. If you have metal gutters and downspouts, look for rust spots and holes.

With asphalt-shingle roofs, look for black areas that show the shingles are cracking. If shingles are brittle, they may have lost their protective inner oils, and you will need to re-roof.

Look for thin, weather-worn shingles that have bald spots where the protective granules have worn away.

If there are only a few bad spots, you can probably do the repair work yourself. There are many do-it-yourself books at the library that can guide you through the repair process.

If your house has wooden shingles or shakes, check for curled, warped and split shingles. Look for any spots where the nails have become loose or rusted.

If only a few spots need work, you may be able to attempt the repairs. If wood shakes are dry (crumble easily between your fingers) or extensively warped or cracked, re-roofing will be necessary.

With tile or slate that was installed properly, the roof will generally last a lifetime. However, individual tiles can chip or break. If the tile is cracked or broken across its face in either direction, it should be replaced.

most

Louisvillians spend a lot of their time NOT seeing one of the city’s great treasures.

They don’t see it when they’re out walking their dogs, jogging or biking, playing softball or practicing soccer, hitting tennis balls or just being outside.

So look around. It’s your park!

Louisville has one of the nation’s premier urban park systems. More than 100 years ago, Frederic Law Olmsted was commissioned to

Courtesy photos

create a “necklace of green space,” a series of interweaving meadows, hills and wooded areas, for public consumption.

That last point is critical. Having parks was not one of our Four Freedoms. Before Olmsted, most open green space was either privately owned, or a municipal endeavor reserved for gardens and flower beds – everyone else, keep off the grass!

Home of the Week STEVE KAUFMAN

But Olmsted had a different view. Cities were becoming packed with Industrial Age laborers immigrating from American farms, from the post-Civil War South and, increasingly, from

Europe. They lived and worked in crowded, dark, damp, unhealthy situations. He felt they needed access to open space where they could breathe fresh air, enjoy sunshine and pasture land, have access to the pleasant physical activities of walking, hiking or even moderate climbing, or just lounging or picnicking on the grass.

When Olmsted was summoned to Louisville, in 1891, he was already renowned for his design of New York’s Central Park. But that project, though sweeping and extensive, was largely rectangular, bounded on all sides by city streets.

25% off all in stock items February 27th March 31st Louisville was to be something different, a chain of green space that wound and meandered through the city, using local elements and topography.

But although this parkland is part of nature – in fact, precisely because it’s part of nature – it doesn’t sustain itself. The parks are in constant need of maintenance, clearing out and replanting, reseeding, repairing, improving.

Trees die and undesirable bushes begin to take over the landscape. Grass wears thin. Weather takes its toll. So do heavy usage, carelessness, neglect, vandalism, even progress.

In 1989, Mayor Jerry Abramson created the Olmsted Parks Conservancy, to work with the city – particularly Metro Parks – on replenishing what had been lost. It’s an independent board with its own set of directors, its own budget and its own agenda, focusing entirely on the 18 Olmsted parks and six connecting parkways in Louisville.

“The city owns the parks,” explained Liz DeHart, the Conservancy’s director of marketing and communications.

“By agreement, the city allows the Conservancy to pursue projects beyond the city’s base maintenance – mowing, raking, clearing snow – paid for out of its capital budget. The city has 123 parks to maintain. We work with them to address projects for the Olmsted parks.”

The parks are like wallpaper.

You don’t notice them until they start to peel.

In the mid-1960s, I-64 was built right through the parks but little other money went into keeping the parks intact. Then, in 1974, the Great Louisville Tornado devastated all the Louisville parklands, wiping out especially the older, taller trees in Cherokee and Seneca parks.

The absence of a sun canopy allowed a smaller, invasive plant called the bush honeysuckle to thrive. It sounds benign, almost charming, but this plant releases toxins into the ground that prevent almost all new growth of other plant life. So a private non-profit called Friends of Olmsted Parks was established to raise awareness and keep these valuable assets from deteriorating further.

You may have seen their familiar “nut trucks” out in the park, the crews clearing some brush and planting some saplings, and thought to yourself “what a nice little job they do.” But their work can be a great deal more extensive than clearing or mowing or raking.

One of the big ongoing projects, for example, is restoring the Northern Overlook at the top of Iroquois Park, once called Louisville’s own “Yellowstone” for its rugged terrain, mature continued on page 76 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 6 , 2 0 1 5

The Overlook is known for its breathtaking views of the city. Over time, though, things have disintegrated, and worn away, and stones and rocks have been removed. It’s a $1 million project, split right in half between the city and the Conservancy. The city has put $500,000 into its capital budget, and the Conservancy is raising the matching funds.

the art of organization

DeHart says those funds will come from the regular donations of its members and supporters, as well as from public and private grants. But it also depends on raising money within the community, and that only comes from raising awareness of all the things it does, like the $4 million Woodland Restoration program to clear the parks of invasive plants, overgrowth and choking vines.

Or the ongoing historic preservation and restoration of the parks’ various structures, fountains and pavilions, like the Gaulbert Pavilion in Cherokee Park (known popularly as Big Rock) or the Shelter at Shawnee Park. Plus all the playgrounds, spraygrounds, walkways, pathways and water fountains that people enjoy.

“The parks not only contribute to the city’s quality of life, but also to its growth,” DeHart says. But only if Louisville realizes, and supports, what it has.

PUZZLES

pets of the week Eight-year-old Bella is an Australian shepherd/retriever mix. Don’t let her age fool you.

Bella still has plenty of pep in her step. Bella is looking for a home with older kiddos and no other pets. She wants her people all to herself.

Bella is very loving to the staff at the Kentucky Humane Society. She needs a forever home with someone who will walk her every day and give her the love she so craves. Could it be you? Bella is spayed, micro-chipped and up-to-date on her vaccinations. Come meet her today at our Main Campus, 241 Steedly Drive.

Gizmo is a seven-year-old domestic shorthair with cream and brown markings. Her owner had to give her up when a family member became highly allergic. Her owner says that Gizmo is a talkative, loving cat. She loves to watch T.V. She understands Korean commands and loves to cuddle. Her owner says she gets along with other cats and really enjoys downtime with her people. Gizmo is spayed, microchipped and up-to-date on her vaccinations. Come meet her today at the Kentucky Humane Society’s Main Campus, 241 Steedly Drive.
