elcome to another week of The Voice-Tribune, and though there’s a snow storm in our future, we’re also one day closer to spring. With spring comes thoughts of letting loose – in this special section we explore just how to chill out with party planning essentials. So, whether you’re planning a housewarming party, a Bar or Bat Mitzvah celebration, a bridal or baby shower – it doesn’t matter because with the assistance of some of Louisville’s very best party planners, we explore the food, drinks, games and decorations that make each of these unique events an absolute hit. Browse through these inventive ideas on how to make each of your gatherings elegant, exciting and most importantly, something you and your guests will truly enjoy.

record. Steve Kaufman takes a look at the UK game against Arkansas. It was a game many expected to be the Cats toughest game of the late-season, but it turned into a blow out, and UK, with just two games away from the beginning of the NCAA tournament, seems well on their way to a perfect regular season. Whether you’re a Hilltoppers fan, a Cards fan, a Racers fan, or not much of a sports fan at all, as a Kentuckian the Cats have given us all something to be proud of. Louisville shook off the snowy blues this last week and partied like the warm weather was already here. We may have bundled up to get to the celebrations, but we wore our finest on the dance floor. And what a dance floor there was to enjoy at the always fabulous 2015 Speed Art Museum Ball, where elegant women and finely tailored men came together at the Seelbach Hotel to raise money for Louisville’s premiere art museum, and were treated to the tunes of Nashville’s Burning Las Vegas. Across town, Coach Bobby Petrino was the guest of honor at a cocktail party hosted by the Lamkins, which benefited a scholarship fund for one JCTC student. Chefs for Hope brought together some of our city’s most wonderful culinary experts, like chefs Anoosh Shariat and Dean Corbett, to create delectable meals for guests, all for the good of the Salvation Army’s Culinary Training Program. And to round out the weekend on a sweet note, Girl Scouts of America hosted their annual Desserts First event which featured food and drinks created by local chefs using Girl Scout Cookies as the main ingredient to raise money for the growing program.

This week’s profile boasts a Louisville native doing big things in the Big Apple. Dr. Sandy Florman makes his return to the Bluegrass this month to speak at the Kentucky to the World event, which is a non-profit organization designed to exhibit the work of successful and influential people who have Kentucky ties. We are proud to welcome Dr. Florman and hope you enjoy the read. In sports, Mike Rutherford explores what life looks like when you’re a Cards fan when the Cats are the team on everyone’s lips. It turns out there’s much joy to be had in one’s team regardless of their

From across town to around town, in Life, Peter Berkowitz brings us an interview with Susan McNeese Lynch, co-founder of Eve Theatre Company, and writer of a new play entitled, “Bourbon Babes of the Bluegrass.” The play is an exciting look at the significant role these brave women played in the history of bourbon. Bennett Duckworth explores the joys and complexities of cooking, as he visits Cooking at the Cottage, where you can not only pick up cookware, but can also take fantastic cooking and baking classes either solo or to be enjoyed on a date night. On a very different note, this week’s film review provides a thoughtful remembrance of actor, and Star Trek star, Leonard Nimoy, who passed away this last week. Nimoy was more than just Spock; he was also a producer, director, photographer, musician and writer and film enthusiasts around the world are mourning his sudden death. At this time, I’d like to take a moment to thank Today’s Woman Magazine for nominating me as one of the most admired women in media. I certainly admire all the women in my category and in all the categories and feel very honored to be a part of this nice celebration. We want to congratulate all the women that are nominated and to Today’s Woman for such a nice way to recognize The Voice-Tribune’s dedication to keeping print media alive and thriving. Please turn to page 61 to see all the women nominated and how to vote. Relax and Enjoy!

Housewarming Party House warmings can be a tricky affair. If you’re a host and not quite sure how far to prepare your house for its first ever party then worry not, because we caught up with Jessica Liesl of Essential Details to get the lowdown on the best appraoch to making that housewarming party extra special.

Food

Activities

Party Favors

Hor D’Oeuvres are best to serve at a house warming party. Guests will want something to munch on but nothing heavy. A couple of passed hors d’oeuvres and a couple of food displays would be ideal.

Guests are coming to your party to see your new home so they will want a house tour. Casually offer guests a tour throughout the party. Also, if you have completed any renovations, print before-and-after photos. Another idea is to have guests sign a frame or piece of artwork as they enter your home. After the party you can hang it on your wall to commemorate the event.

A small token of thanks such as a candle or cookie is a generous offering. Be sure to include creative packaging with a tag phrase such as, “Thank you for helping us warm our home, now let us help you warm yours!”

Drink Offer a couple of varieties of beer and wine and maybe have a signature cocktail passed as people enter your home. What better way to be welcomed than with a tasty libation?

Entertainment Depending on the size of the party, you may want to have a single musician or duo play something light and airy as guests mingle. This should act as background music and not the main attraction. Creating a playlist on your iPod will work great as well!

Decoration A lot of décor is generally not needed for a housewarming party. You are having a party to show off your new home, so a couple of arrangements of fresh flowers will do the trick. Keep your home tidy and clean to impress your guests!

Bar/Bat Mitzvah The day you have your Bar/Bat Mitzvah is the day you’ll probably have your own first awesome party. But someone has to organize it. So moms and dads here is the ultimate checklist for the perfect Bar/Bat Mitzvah courtesy of Alex Hunnicutt of Fleur de Lis Events and Design.

Food As far as food goes, it needs to be very kid-centric. The food has to cater to the age group of the client which is typically 13. And at that age most children have a very simple palette and so the food on hand needs to be easy to handle, easy to eat and on the go. Typically at those events, the kids are running around non-stop, and they don’t really sit down to have a whole meal. Usually appetizers and finger food are the best – stuff you’d find at a concession stand or a ballgame, but a little more gourmet.

Drinks Kids love stuff that their parents might treat them with when they’re good. Usually these beverages come in bottles. I think the beverage that went over the best at any event I’ve ever done was Rooibie Red Tea. The kids

loved that and Jones’ Soda. There are usually separate areas for the adults and children so that drinks don’t get confused.

Entertainment There is a particular type of entertainer that is needed for this age group. If you’re going to have a DJ then it needs to be a very interactive DJ. Someone who’s going to have multiple people there. Somebody who can stay behind the soundboard and then also come down and interact on the dance floor with the kids and show them what they’re doing – teach them to dance, interact with them, play games. That’s very important. I’ve also seen an illusionist and magicians, balloon artists, things like that all work well.

Decorations The decorations have to be very personalized. My favorite ones so far that we’ve done was when we created an amusement park with the girl’s name so we created a carnival atmosphere and we named it after her and we used her favorite colors and the games featured were either things she was familiar with or her favorite things. We did another Bar Mitzvah where he loved sports so we took a prominent sports team logo and transformed it into his name and decorated the venue like the sports arena.

Activities These are very important. You can’t have any downtime at a Bar Mitzvah or Bat Mitzvah. As soon as you have downtime, the kids, become disinterested and they go off and do their own thing and you’ve lost the party. That’s important. W W W . V O I C E -T R I B U N E . C O M •

Bridal Shower With spring and summer fast approaching, wedding season will soon be upon us. That means bridal showers are going to be filling up your calendar. If you’re in charge of organizing one, then we’ve got the inside scoop courtesy of Ellen Shaheen Fox of ShaFox Weddings & Events.

Party Favors

Staging & Atmosphere

Hostess Gift

Don’t do it! Close down Pinterest and stop surfing the web for the perfect $3.00 tchotchke. No adult guest has ever left a party upset because they didn’t receive a favor. Kids parties are different. However, they will comment good or bad (mostly bad) about a favor they likely won’t use. Favors don’t make or break events. Re-focus your efforts on more important items.

Most showers are held at home which require some “staging” in order to accommodate guests. Evaluate your seating options, but also remember these important yet often over-looked necessities. Turn on or lower your air conditioning (even in the winter months) if you are having 25 or more guests. The shear number of bodies will heat up your space quickly. Turn on all lights in your home, even the ones in your furniture curios. Light all candles, have music playing in the background, and most importantly order disposable hand towels for your bathroom. A towel shared by 20 or more guests can get damp rather quickly.

A bride is “showered” with several parties throughout her engagement, so choose to be gracious by sending your host/hostess a personal gift before the shower. Two to three days before your shower, send a thoughtful gift, along with a handwritten note, to lift the spirits of your host. How wonderful to receive some thanks and praise as they are preparing for your honored day.

Baby Shower Babies are huge deals – they come along and change your life forever. So it’s always a good idea to get a headstart by stocking up on essentials through the aid of a baby shower. Celebrate the arrival of the new bundle of joy with all of your loved ones. Katie Rush gives the ultimate A-Z of planning a baby shower.

Theme Do it! Check with the mom-to-be and coordinate the theme with her. It’s a great way to gift accessories that can be used in the nursery. Decorate according to the theme, spend a little money and invest in a few tasteful decorations that can be used in the future as decorations instead of a lot of paper/plastic décor that will be thrown away. A nice bordered chalk board for a welcome sign can also be used in the nursery for later, etc. M A R C H 5 , 2 0 1 5 • W W W . V O I C E -T R I B U N E . C O M

Food & Drink Typically, a baby shower is held between late morning and early afternoon so both breakfast and lunch are acceptable options. There’s nothing wrong with serving mimosas or white wine during the shower, but make sure to also include some fun “mocktails” for the mom-to-be. Serve dessert after the meal so guests have a delicious treat while watching the future mom open her gifts.

Games Check with the mom-to-be first. Some love to play all kinds of fun games that highlight their pregnancies while others would die of embarrassment if their friends and family were to guess how many inches her baby bump is. Do plan a few games that all the guest can participate in and provide prizes to the winners!

Oaks/Derby Party The Kentucky Derby is about horse racing and perhaps most of all great hospitality – especially when it comes to out of town guests. “Guests attending the Kentucky Derby will walk away with a collective experience: that of food, drink, entertainment and couture,” explains Kirk A. Stone of The Event Company. “Given the number of events we are contacted to produce, we are careful to include trend ideas but we also always try to stress the importance of southern hospitality and tradition.”

Food

Decorations

While working with caterers/chefs for the private clientele we like to include a little of the unexpected paired with a traditional element. Always present are beaten biscuits, country ham and grits as well as other low country fair. The unexpected is left to the client and is generally a favorite taste they prefer to include.

We force spring to arrive early. Garden party inspired linens in vibrant hues and pastels give nod to the variety of Derby silks that we are so well known for. Peonies, roses and lilies combined with unexpected other colors keep the look current.

Drinks It’s always memorable to greet your guests offering drinks served on polished silver trays in sterling mint julep cups. The Oaks Race is typically associated with the drink “The Lily,” and pink is the color of the day. Definitely for Derby mint juleps or another julep inspired Bourbon drink. A sprig of mint goes a very long way.

For evening and dinner we choose more Bourbon inspired colors with the use of deep bronze, butterscotch, and apricot paired with crisp white Irish Hemstitch linen overlays and napkins. Whenever possible we like to use the client’s family heirlooms. This may be in the form of china, crystal, silver or your grandmother’s monogrammed linens. So if you have not polished the family silver, now is the time to accomplish this task. It seems that more of our clients are requesting an emphasis on a more refined and simple

elegance with a nod to southern gentility. Even cosmopolitan and sleek décor will look stunning when paired with well thought out traditional elements.

Entertainment It is nice to include a little bit of Kentucky in the beginning of the day. A Bluegrass or Jug band is always a nice compliment to any daytime event and surprisingly affordable. Evening entertainment lends itself to quartets, jazz ensembles or pop bands. Depending on the size of the party and if dancing is involved, the band is usually to the client’s taste. Our favorite bands always have a large repertoire of current and traditional dance music that keep your guests dancing well into the evening.

Summer Barbecue Memorial Day is fast approaching and that means one thing – people will be grilling at every opportunity. So how do you prepare for the perfect grill gathering? Well, Lauren Chitwood of Lauren Chitwood Events offers the best tips. “With just a few short weeks until spring, I can already smell charcoal and feel the warm sun on my face,” laughs Chitwood.

Food

Party Favors

Activities

Summer entertaining at its finest always starts with an open flame. Instead of your ordinary hot dogs and burgers on the grill, take the time to build a fire pit and put something on a spit. If a full pig is a little more than you’d like to handle, try chicken’s, rotisserie style or whole fruit or vegetables. The project is very communal and guests love to stand around the open fire.

Nothing says enjoy the great outdoors like s’mores. Give your guests beautifully packaged personal s’mores kits. If you’d like to make them particularly home-spun, homemade marshmallows are easy to do, and a little bit of food coloring can also serve as a nice visual reminder to your theme. Guests can enjoy them with you or take them home as a wonderful reminder of your BBQ bash.

Let’s be honest, adult party activities don’t really get interesting until after a few cocktails and the sun goes down. Think ring toss meets rave - substitute glow stick necklaces for your ring and you’re in business. For something a little more low key - create an outdoor “drive in” theater - project your favorite old movie, or perhaps something kid-friendly to make it a family event. Old quits and pillows provide an effortless lounge area.

Drink The key to summer drinks is always to keep it light. I’m personally a fan of “make your own” margarita, or if you’re not a tequila fan you can always play on variations of a mojito. Purchase fresh purees of delicious tropical fruits at Whole Foods and also consider a spicy option as hot but cold drinks are all the rage.

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

Decorations Pops and color and outdoor lighting always set the mood for a summer fete. Outdoor market lights are available year round at retailers; stringing them whimsically over a patio or around your grilling pit can really help set the mood. For color, choose something that is complimentary to your patio furnishings and really go for it! Two complimenting solid colors with an interesting pattern or stripe on a napkin is sometimes all you really need for that finished look.

Entertainment Louisville is full of great small musical acts just pop your head in Gerstle’s Place any night after 10 p.m. Most groups would be delighted to play to a captive private audience. If a live band isn’t your speed, sometimes the perfectly curated playlist is all you need. My favorite Pandora stations for a summer BBQ are Classic Soul BBQ , Van Morrisson, or Hip Hop BBQ just to name a few.

Sometimes even the pros can have a disastrous day.

A MAN OF Unlimited TALENT

t’s hard to imagine a career more rewarding than saving lives for a living. But it’s just what some people do.

Indeed, being a hero is all in a day’s work for one prominent New York City doctor, who happens to be a Louisville native.

Contributing Writer WES KERRICK

“These really are people at the end of the road, and desperate to have their lives,” Sandy Florman says of his patients. Florman is an organ transplant surgeon. “It’s incredibly gratifying,” he says. Florman, who graduated from St. Francis High School in Louisville, is the son of a plastic surgeon and a lawyer. And he’s a man who’s found his own passion. Following that passion has led him to his post as director of the Recanati/ Miller Transplantation Institute at Mount Sinai Medical Center in New York City. It’s one of the biggest transplant programs in the U.S. The road there brought Florman faceto-face with inspiring experiences and challenges no one could have foreseen. After graduating from the UofL School of Medicine, Florman spent his surgical residency in New Orleans. He went on to become the director of the Transplant Institute there at Tulane Medical Center. And he was there when Hurricane Katrina devastated the city. The elevators were flooded in the hospital, and for six months the facility was shut down. Some of the staff gave up on the hospital, but Florman chose to stay. COURTESY PHOTO

With that choice came the responsibility to rebuild the transplant program. “I was very proud to be a part of that and help lead that effort,” he says.

Florman completed his transplant training at Mount Sinai. Leaders at the New York hospital were impressed with his work in New Orleans. A few years ago, they recruited him back to direct their transplant program.

Like any good doctor, Florman is always learning, as new research comes out. In the transplant field, today’s prognosis is brighter than ever.

“It’s like getting called up to play for the Yankees,” Florman says. “I mean, in my world – in the world of transplants – this is going to the mountain.”

“People can do anything you can think of with a transplant,” he says. Two NBA athletes have had kidney transplants. A snowboarder who’s had a liver transplant won an Olympic medal.

More than 120,000 people in the United States are waiting for an organ transplant. But as a surgeon, Florman’s biggest challenge is that there just aren’t enough organs to go around. More than 120,000 people in the United States are waiting for an organ transplant. “We know exactly what they need, but we don’t have the ability to give it to them,” he says.

Since Florman’s wife is from New York, her family was happy to be near the couple and their grandchildren again. “But it was bittersweet,” Florman says. “I loved the time in New Orleans; I loved the time in Louisville.” On March 12, Florman will return to the city he loved first, where he’ll give a talk on “Life Saving Organ Transplants – Ethics, Politics & Technology.” It starts at 6:30 p.m., on the fourth floor of The Henry Clay, 604 S. Third St. The event is hosted by Kentucky to the World, a non-profit organization designed to exhibit the work of successful and influential people who have Kentucky ties. Florman says being asked to speak at the event was an honor. “It’s a little humbling, quite honestly.” Beginning at 5:30 p.m., a reception will feature appetizers from Wiltshire Pantry. A cash bar will also be available. Tickets are $25. To purchase tickets or learn more about the event, visit www.kentuckytotheworld.org. Seating is limited; tickets will not be sold at the door.

Hopes that China would become a coopKissinger diplomatically avoids saying that almost every presidential candidate over the years has campaigned against the Nixon-Kissinger policy and is perhaps taking pride in the fact that every president has continued it. Forty-plus years is a long time for a democracy to have maintained the same controversial policy. Too long a time, says one of those elite Americans who has managed that policy in both Republican and Democratic administrations, for the policy is based on false premises and could lead to disasters a generation from now. That's the message of Michael Pillsbury, in his new book, "The Hundred-Year Marathon: China's Secret Strategy to Replace America as the Global Superpower." This represents something of a conversion experience for Pillsbury, who not only subscribed but contributed to the dominant policy of "constructive engagement" with China for many years. He, like many others, assumed that increased economic ties with the West and the resultant greater prosperity would move China inevitably toward capitalism, human rights and democracy. That has been the hope of the last eight presidents, from Kissinger's boss Richard Nixon on to President Obama today. But it doesn't seem to have worked out in practice. China's economy, Pillsbury argues, is still very much controlled by and directed toward the interests of its state-owned enterprises. Capitalism maybe, but not free market capitalism. As for democracy, Pillsbury mocks former colleagues who have hailed China's local government elections. They're a sham, he argues. Control is still in the hands of Communist party leaders in Beijing and with the M A R C H 5 , 2 0 1 5 â&#x20AC;˘ W W W . V O I C E -T R I B U N E . C O M

erative force in the world have also faded. Instead, China is threatening its neighbors over islets in the East and South China Sea and adapting U.S. technology to build asymmetric weapons to render U.S. forces ineffective. Americans like to believe others think and act as we would. But China's leaders think like Chinese, Pillsbury says, and their models for statecraft come from China's Warring States period (475-221 BC).

Chinese strategists prize, in Kissinger's words, "subtlety, indirection and the patient accumulation of relative advantage." Chinese leaders have been pursuing what Pillsbury calls a "hundred-year marathon," patiently trudging toward a goal of replacing the United States as the world's dominant power -- "hegemon" -by 2049, 100 years after Mao Zedong's victory in the Chinese Civil War. So far, 65 years down, 35 to go. In the meantime, "we don't know we are losing the game." In 2049, he says, China could have an economy three times the size of ours, could suppress dissent and squelch democracy not only in China but abroad, could export pollution and proliferate weapons without serious opposition. Pillsbury doesn't address the arguments that China's rise may slow; that with an aging population it may get old before it gets rich; that with a smaller and more expensive work force it may sink into a static and deflationary economy like Japan's. Nor does he

grapple with predictions that China's difficult language and subtle culture may prove less attractive than America's more accessible English and popular culture. He would presumably argue that it's foolish to rely on such contingencies. Better, he says, to try to encourage China's potential reformers and hope they overcome the ying pai hardliners who seem today even more dominant under Xi Jinping. How to do that? Develop a competitive strategy and quit supporting China in acquiring technology. Support Chinese dissidents as Soviet and Eastern Bloc dissidents were supported in the Reagan years. Target Chinese corruption, censorship and pollution. Most important, recognize that China's leaders want not only to surpass but to suppress us and our way of life. A warning to take seriously.

RONALD WILT MADE A 2015 AIOPIA’S 10 BEST IN KENTUCKY FOR CLIENT SATISFACTION The American Institute of Personal Injury Attorneys has recognized the exceptional performance of Kentucky’s Personal Injury Attorney Ronald Wilt as 2015 10 Best Personal Injury Attorneys for Client Satisfaction. The American Institute of Personal Injury Attorneys is a third-party attorney rating organization that publishes an annual list of the Top 10 Personal Injury attorneys in each state. Attorneys who are selected to the “10 Best” list must pass AIOPIA’s rigorous selection process, which is based on client and/or peer nominations, thorough research, and AIOPIA’s independent evaluation. AIOPIA’s annual list was created to be used as a resource for clients during the attorney selection process. One of the most significant aspects of the selection process involves attorneys’ relationships and reputation among his or her clients. As clients should be an attorney’s top priority, AIOPIA places the utmost emphasis on selecting lawyers who have achieved significant success in the field of Personal Injury law without sacrificing the service and support they provide. Selection criteria therefore focus on attorneys who demonstrate the highest standards of Client Satisfaction. We congratulate Ronald Wilt on this achievement and we are honored to have him as a 2015 AIOPIA Member. P H OTO C O U R T E S Y O F U N I T E D W AY O F K E N T U C K Y

Horton’s reigning juvenile champion Take Charge Brandi is the brightest star among 154 horses on the roster of early nominations to the $1 million Longines Kentucky Oaks (Grade I), America’s premier race for 3-year-old fillies scheduled for its 141st running on Friday, May 1 at Churchill Downs Racetrack (“CDRT”). The nominated fillies are bidding to succeed Winchell Thoroughbreds’ homebred Untapable, who won the 2014 Kentucky Oaks under history-making, two-time Kentucky Oaks-winning jockey Rosie Napravnik. Untapable’s Oaks for trainer Steve Asmussen was a highlight of a 2014 season that earned the daughter of Tapit an Eclipse Award that honored her as America’s champion 3-year-old filly. She was unbeaten in races against her gender in 2014, with her only loss being a fourth-place finish to eventual Breeders’ Cup Classic (GI) winner Bayern in Monmouth Park’s Haskell Invitational (GI). Untapable completed her championship season with a victory in the $2 million Breeders’ Cup Distaff (GI), in which she became the third Kentucky Oaks winner to also win that race.

Even during these harrowing times, there was a similarity in the personas of my blueclad classmates that I did not envy. You see, the morning after games had been played and UK and UofL victories had been secured, my Wildcat friends never seemed as excited about their wins as my Cardinal friends and I were about ours. They spoke loudly and thumped their chests in the same manner that's still on full display these days, but there was always an absence of joy wrought by the expectation of victory. We, as Louisville fans, were thrilled about wins and saddened by defeats. They, as Kentucky fans, were satisfied with wins and angered by defeats.

a great chance of securing a top-four seed in the NCAA Tournament for a fifth straight year.

So why haven't the past four months been more fun? It's not as simple as a spoiled fan base overindulging after finally getting bumped up to the most desired dinner table at Thanksgiving, but it's impossible to deny that phenomenon isn't a large part of it. Louisville is a top-10 all-time program with a Hall of Fame coach, a combination that should result in the highest level of expectations from its fan base. That doesn't mean that victory should always be assumed and anything less than perfection should be condemned. The fact of the matter is, it's hard to be in the thick of the national title race each and every season. It's really hard. Want an

example? Look at defending national champion Connecticut, which is about to miss the NCAA Tournament entirely. Look at last season's number one overall seed Florida, which is about to do the same. Or, if you want to take things even further, look at the last two decades of UofL basketball. Louisville went 19 years between Final Four appearances, and 27 between national championships. From 1991-2004, the Cards earned a number four seed or better just three times, and advanced past the Sweet 16 of the NCAA Tournament only once. And the thing is, 95 percent of the 347 Division-I college basketball programs would kill for that sort of stretch. At Louisville, it's a dark period. Cardinal fans should take pride in that, but they should also use it as a reminder. Hope is really all you can ask for once March arrives. Hope that all the time spent watching, screaming, debating and following for the past five months will ultimately be rewarded. For all its faults, this Louisville team has unquestionably given us hope in recent weeks. Hope that the program can win its fourth straight conference tournament championship (which would be a staggering accomplishment), and hope that it can make a run in the big dance during the succeeding weeks. There is no doubt in my mind that one day Louisville fans will look back on this period and be blown away by some of the numbers and all of the accomplishments. I hope that when the day comes, none of us ever say, "I wish I would have appreciated it all more." VT P H O T O B Y C H R I S H U M P H R E Y S | T H E V O I C E -T R I B U N E

Okay, Dakari Johnson played poorly, Karl-Anthony Towns again was saddled with foul trouble and Devin Booker and Aaron Harrison shot poorly – a combined 6-of-21, 1-of-10 3s. What we’ve seen, though, is that every game has a new script, and every script, thus far, has a happy ending. I said, “thus far.” I don’t want to get ahead of myself. I’ve never had the fortune to follow a team like this. I feel I have to be very careful where I step, what I say, even what I think. Before last season, when BBN all went around saying, “40-0!” I think what we were really saying was, “NCAA champs.” This year, suddenly, that 40-0 keeps looming closer and it’s like trying to keep an egg from breaking in your hand. It’s almost like not mentioning a no-hitter in the dugout. I learned, a long time ago, not to get too smug about anything. “Taking ’em one game at a time” is a pretty good cliché to live by.

Sunday Silence, 1989 Kentucky Derby winner, with jockey Pat Valenzuela.

Searching and Hoping for A Straw-Free Path

fter more than three decades of Kentucky Derby experiences, a good portion of my brain is brimming with stories of success and disappointment on the big day, and reasons for those results.

self-imposed Kentucky Derby exile of nearly 30 years to win his first “Run for the Roses” with long shot Ferdinand in 1986.

Horse Sense JOHN ASHER

But one memory that always downloads, offers a combination of those outcomes: the 1989 East-West showdown between New York-based hero Easy Goer and West Coast star Sunday Silence. Easy Goer, a striking and muscular chestnut, carried the famed black-and-red silks of Phipps Stable, one of the great “old money” racing stables and still in search of its first Derby win despite racing the likes of Bold Ruler and Buckpasser. Lexington native Shug McGaughey, who learned valuable lessons at Churchill Downs before moving to New York to train for the Phippses, seemed poised to collect the biggest prize his profession and home state could offer. Sunday Silence had a Kentucky connection of his own in co-owner Arthur Hancock III, on his own then as owner of Paris, Ky.’s Stone Farm after departing Claiborne Farm, his family’s breeding and racing legend that had teamed with the Phippses for many of the their greatest successes. The preparation of the sleek and nearly-black Sunday Silence was handled Charlie Whittingham, the legendary “Bald Eagle” who had returned from a M A R C H 5 , 2 0 1 5 • W W W . V O I C E -T R I B U N E . C O M

Veteran Derby fans will recall that Derby Day 1989 dawned with snowflakes and shivers. It warmed a bit in the afternoon, but the track was muddy for the meeting of two horses that proved to be among the most talented and accomplished of the final quarter of the 20th century.

Easy Goer was the favorite, but he caught a track with a peanut-butter consistency nearly identical to the Churchill Downs surface over which he had been upset by Is It True six months earlier the Breeders’ Cup Juvenile run on a similarly gray day. Sunday Silence rallied from just off the pace to assume the lead draw clear through a somewhat meandering run thought the stretch. Meanwhile, fans of Easy Goer searched in vain for their star, whose wheels had been spinning throughout the race. Easy Goer arrived very late on the scene with a mild rally to nip stablemate Awe Inspiring for the runner-up spot, but never threatened Sunday Silence on that bone-chilling Derby Day. The winning time for the 1-2 finish by the future Hall of Famers was 2:05, one of the slowest modern day Derbys. It proved, at least for a day, the adage that “time only matters when you’re in jail.” The spine-tingling Sunday Silence-Easy Goer showdown finally materialized, but did so two weeks later in the Preakness. Still, that

strangely-run Derby stands out personally for two reasons. One is Dave Johnson’s ABC race call. If you listen closely, you’ll notice the absence of six key words: “And down the stretch they come.” The phrase was Johnson’s signature throughout a long and distinguished career, but the words never passed his lips on Derby Day 1989. I’ve never asked Dave about it, but always believed that he was so busy looking for Easy Goer’s rally-that-never-happened that he simply ran out of time. But the most compelling memory was a post-Derby thought by Whittingham as he recalled weeks of nearly flawless preparation by his second Derby winner. When he needed a fast track, he got one; weather was never an issue. When Sunday Silence had to work, the job was done on schedule. “I never had a straw in my path,” The Bald Eagle recalled. It’s difficult to find any horse aiming for Kentucky Derby 2015 who has enjoyed such clear sailing. Major players American Pharoah and Texas Red have spent significant time on the sidelines with injury, and weather woes have delayed scheduled prep races over the past two weeks in Arkansas (snow and ice) and Florida (flooding from torrential rains). In most years, it is a seasoned and experienced horse that finds his or her way into the Kentucky Derby winner’s circle. But if you can find a 3-year-old with talent and anything resembling Whittingham’s straw-free path in this unusual year, he or she might be the horse to beat in Derby 141.

Sports Coach Jeff Walz with Jude Schimmel and her family on senior night.

Lady Cards Fly into the Post-Season The #10 University of Louisville women enter the postseason with a 24-5 record after a third place finish in the Atlantic Coast Conference. They were 12-4 in their first season in the league. The Cards celebrated five seniors, Shawnta’ Dyer, Sara Hammond, Jude Schimmel, Bria Smith and Sheronne Vails with a 77-60 win over Boston College on February 26. Jude Schimmel revealed on senior night that she is writing a book about her experiences at UofL. She hopes to have it completed soon after the season. The Cards tip off play in the ACC tournament on Friday night at 8 p.m. against either North Carolina, Georgia Tech or Clemson. The tournament is being played in Greensboro, North Carolina. What will you miss most about Coach Walz?

Do the Schimmel's have any more daughters for you to recruit?

Jude Schimmel: His sarcasm

Jeff Walz: They've got a few, yes

Has anybody read your book? Schimmel: No, nobody has read it. How much have you written? How far along are you? Schimmel: I would like to keep some things confidential.

Taylor’s 10

Are you anxious to read Jude’s book?

KENT TAYLOR

Walz: I have not seen it yet. I definitely would like to see what is being said.

WAVE3 Sports

There was another amazing turnout from the Native American community for your final home game of the season, how much of a role model do you consider yourself to be? Schimmel: I would say just because I had the opportunity to go off to college and get my degree and play division I basketball, my sister and I, we've become very big role models in the Native American community. So obviously we're very influential people in that realm, but I think it's pretty special. I always say that as much as we're an inspiration to them, the fact that they support us and come clear across the country just to watch my senior night, and Shoni's senior night last year, I mean that's an inspiration for us to just want to do better and be better for them, and to continue to be role model's for them.

How much has she accomplished here? Walz: I'm really proud of Jude. Jude has had a great four years here. She came in as Shoni's little sister obviously, but she's leaving as Jude Schimmel. There is no question about that. She has made a mark on things herself. You look at her on the floor and she gets a lot more done than anybody expects her to. That's because of her basketball IQ and just her heart. Are you still Jaime's brother, or are you Jeff Walz? (His sister Jaime Walz-Ritchey scored a Kentucky state record 4,948 points in her high school career) Walz: Always will be. You better believe it. That's one thing I'm proud to say. If it wasn't for her I wouldn't be here right now, I guarantee you that much. This is a crazy business, you have to find a way to get in.

What is the range of NCAA seeding you think is possible for your team? Walz: I'm never right on this stuff, but I'm thinking three or four seed. A three seed is what I think we should get. I would a three seed is not being too optimistic, but it wouldn't surprise me if we're a four. Part of the problem is we can't host. A lot of it is going to come down to, okay, if we're a three seed, what six seed put a bid in that's willing to host. If there's not, I don't think we can go down to Shawnee Park and throw it up. It's going to be interesting, because there might be a five seed that's put in a bid to host, and all of the sudden we might get bumped to a four. I think we've earned a three seed. Is 24 regular season wins about what you anticipated? Walz: That's more than I thought we'd have. I'm not going to sit here and lie and tell you I expected to win 24 regular season games. We're starting to show a lot more good than bad. At the beginning and midway through it, our good minutes could be really explosive and we could score 16 or 18 in about a two minute stretch and then we could go four minutes and not score. Now all of the sudden, we're becoming more consistent. Our good minutes are lasting a lot longer and we have to continue to cut the bad minutes down. VT W W W . V O I C E -T R I B U N E . C O M •

Coach ketball camp run through Bibby and Rondo. Douglas Bibby strives to overcome This camp is held annually. this as the leader of Central High Coach Bibby has coached at Central for School’s boys basketball team. “The biggest obstacle is to get these guys from the inner city to believe in themselves. It starts with recognizing your self worth. The biggest obstacle is to show them some positive things and how great they can be. Sometimes they fear success, sometimes they don’t understand success, and they don’t recognize success. A lot of these kids are very talented, very smart, and can be very successful in life.

10 years. Located in the downtown area of Louisville, he looks to fight the stigma attached to the life of an inner city student. To his players, he models leadership. He uses basketball in an effort to work on his players’ characters.

“I can dangle that basketball carrot. I hope they look at my work ethic, how I approach everyday, not just from a basketball perspective, but from a business perspective and from a family perspective. [I hope] that they can take from that and be better individuals.

First, I try to make them good individuals. Second, I try to make them good team players. Third, I try to create a good basketball player. But you can’t make a good basketball player without those two staples initially. So that’s how I approach coaching, and I hope that’s how those guys see me as they coach.” Highly talented basketball players coming out of eighth grade may not select Central as a primary option, when schools like Ballard, Male, Trinity, and Manual have their doors wide open. One of the founding principles for Bibby in coaching is to create a culture of discipline. His philosophy to coaching is, “Don’t start with basketball. In order to be a great player you have to be a great person. You have to have a good work ethic, you have to have drive, and you have to have discipline. That’s just not on the court, that’s off the court and how you carry yourself as an individual.” Bibby says the inner city kid faces a lot of adversity. With trials and tribulations such as lack of financial resources to get ACT training or to pay for college, or not coming from two parent homes. These students have to work harder. He explains to his players that adversity is not a set back and that what doesn’t kill you makes you stronger. His memorable life message of, “10 percent of life is things that happen to you. The other 90 percent is how you handle that 10 percent,” is cherished by his players. “For [inner city kids] it’s not how hard you can hit, but it’s how hard you get hit and [are able to keep] moving. For the inner city kid, they take a lot of blows. They can withstand those blows and adversity. If they can stay strong and listen to some of the things that I am teaching them, they can be successful young men.” As Coach Douglas Bibby continues to revolutionize the inner city player, he is filled with joy when he is able to see the fruits of his labor. When asked what his biggest joy is in coaching, he said, “When they actually grow up and become young men, and for them to come back and say ‘thank you.’ That’s the biggest joy in coaching, for them to come back and appreciate that. That’s the biggest paycheck I can receive, that I affected a young man’s life in that way. That makes me feel good, because that’s what my father did for me.” VT

Ain’t No Stopping Them Now TONY VANETTI: An unprecedented week for UofL, bad news for the basketball program, really proud of how the team rallied and won last Saturday after the Chris Jones situation. MATT JONES: Well it was a good win for them. I mean I wouldn’t act like it’s heroic but it was a good win. Those two games against Georgia Tech and Florida State, had they lost either one of them, I think the season would have probably been over. So they kept it going and now they’ve got two big ones coming up. But those were good victories and the team may be more likable – not better – but at least maybe more likable for the average fan. VANETTI: Yeah, I mean you can’t fault the rest of the players for something that another player did. Again, I can’t ever remember something of this magnitude happening to the basketball program. Everyone had a shocked feeling for most of the week. After leaving work from doing the shows last week it was almost like you had to take a shower when you got home, and no one liked it. No one liked the feeling.

In any case, Kentucky looks pretty darn good. They’re rounding things up for an undefeated regular season, which hasn’t happened since what year, Matt? JONES: Well they had one in 1954, but I don’t know. I mean for Kentucky, they could still find a way to lose a game, but really the best part is that they are going into March and the NCAA tournament playing their best basketball of the year so far. And that’s really what you really want to see. They had a little bit of a swoon in late January, early February but they picked it up and look really, really good. That Arkansas game on Saturday really impressed me. M A R C H 5 , 2 0 1 5 • W W W . V O I C E -T R I B U N E . C O M

teams in North Carolina and Louisville. Not a lot of the teams are going to make it out of the SEC. There’s Arkansas but who else is going to make the tournament?

VANETTI: Well it impressed a lot of people because they thought that was going to be the chance where somebody could really take a shot at ending Kentucky’s near perfect season. I think the difference is the demeanor of the team changes when Willie Cauley-Stein comes on. He’s grown the beard, he’s got the neck tattoo, he’s got the scowl. When he is nasty the rest of the team is nasty right along with him. But he’s the most important player by far. When he’s playing well, Kentucky can’t be beat. When he’s not playing well, they have some vulnerability. So when he’s playing well and he’s energized, they’re almost unstoppable because they can come at you in so many different ways and score in so many different ways. I mean the game was over Saturday when he blocked that shot. When he blocked it and the guy fell down, the game was officially over right then. Now you were famously nervous during the championship runs. In 2012, you would actually leave your seat because you were so…well, you were freaking out, to say the least. I don’t see that in you this year.

JONES: Yeah, I think for the SEC, it’s Kentucky and five teams that could make the Sweet Sixteen, or lose in the first round. I mean all those teams are the same: Arkansas, LSU, Georgia, Ole Miss, Texas A&M, they’re all the same. It would not shock me if they were all at the same game. It would shock me if they pull an upset in the second round and went to the Sweet Sixteen. I think in college basketball, there are seven teams that are really good: Kentucky’s the best, but then Duke, Virginia, Wisconsin, Gonzaga, Arizona, and I’ll even throw in Villanova but barely. Those teams are all really good. The rest of the teams, flip a coin because who knows what happens.

JONES: Well it’s because nothing matters yet. I mean it’d be nice to be undefeated but that doesn’t matter. You know, I talked about this a lot on my show, I’m going to be terrified during the games because it’s one thing when you have a chance to win. It’s another thing when you’re the heavy favorite because it’s like you don’t want to see a team this good lose a single game. That just doesn’t seem fair. And so I think the Kentucky fans are going to be really nervous. I don’t know that this is going to be an enjoyable tournament for Kentucky fans.

JONES: Don’t overlook Wisconsin, I’m telling you. Don’t overlook Wisconsin. You’ve got to remember, they’ve been playing the last month and a half without their best guard. So I say don’t overlook them. And listen: enjoy March Tony. It’s going to be a blue March. Kentucky everywhere.

VANETTI: Alright, the ACC has two title contenders and probably two Sweet Sixteen

VANETTI: We said it at the beginning of the year, Kentucky and Duke, I think when it’s all said and done, you’re probably still talking Kentucky and Duke, but Virginia is one that can scare you. But they choked last year. Will they do the same in the tournament, for a second year?

VANETTI: Uh, I’m going to cheer for my underdog Louisville Cardinals as they move through the tournament. We’ll see you in the Sweet Sixteen and revenge is on our mind.

EAR ABBY: A family member, “Bill,” likes to come visit in the afternoons and, because he’s not comfortable driving in the dark, he always plans to stay overnight. When he does, he wakes up very early, often before 6 a.m.

Frankly, I don’t think you should say anything “witty” to a bigot. Just smile and say, “It’s the wave of the future. Get used to it.” •••

Dear Abby JEANNE PHILLIPS

Bill tries to be as quiet as possible, but we know when he is up. Our dog hears someone moving around and thinks it’s time to go out and eat. My husband or I will get up to take care of our dog, but at that point, it seems rude to go back to bed. My husband likes to go back to sleep, but I feel I should get up and entertain our guest. Is it bad manners to go back to sleep even though it is still very early? -- TO SLEEP, OR NOT TO SLEEP DEAR T.S. or N.T.S.: If you need your sleep, go back to bed. The right amount of sleep is important, and not getting it can ruin one’s entire day. If you’re concerned about Bill not having a good breakfast, before going to bed, put the coffeemaker on “automatic” and show him where the cereal is kept. That’s not being a bad hostess, and I’m sure Bill will be just fine. ••• DEAR ABBY: My husband and I are both Caucasian. Recently, we adopted a beautiful mixed-race baby girl. She’s Vietnamese, African-American and Hispanic. She is not even 4 months old, and already we have experienced some negative comments from strangers. Where we live is progressive and open-minded, and I’m not so much concerned about our neighborhood or schools. But I’m no dummy. I know we’re going to encounter people who have “questions” or unwarranted “opinions” (to put it nicely). I’m not trying to educate those who choose to remain ignorant, nor reason with the unreasonable, or even explain our family and our choices. I just want a quick, witty response that tells people their not-so-nice comments are unwelcome and, to put it frankly, back off. Any suggestion? -OPEN-MINDED IN PENNSYLVANIA DEAR OPEN-MINDED: According to the 2010 census, 9 million Americans (2.9 percent of the population) are multiracial. It also showed that the number of people who reported multiple races grew by a larger percentage than those reporting a single race.

DEAR ABBY: For the past year I have been with a man I love dearly. We live together and share our lives as independent young adults.

The problem is his mother. She was cold and distant to him when he was a child, and her emotional abuse has continued into his adulthood. Holidays are a nightmare, visits a chore, and his phone calls with her often leave him in tears. I wanted him to come with me to spend the holidays with my family, but she guilted him into spending them with her. I hate seeing him go through this, and I don’t know what I can do about it. I think she is a toxic influence and he needs to cut her out of his life altogether. Advice? -- PROTECTING MY GUY

DEAR PROTECTING: What you think about his mother isn’t as important as what your boyfriend does. From your description, their relationship is unhealthy. My advice is to encourage your boyfriend to discuss this with a licensed mental health professional. If he does, it may give him the incentive he needs to distance himself from her. P.S. When the next family holidays come around, by all means invite him to spend them with your family. That way he will have a chance to see how a normal family functions. ••• DEAR ABBY: When my in-laws come for dinner, they ask what they can bring. I always say “absolutely nothing,” but they bring dessert or a bottle of wine, and then take the uneaten dessert or uncorked bottles of wine home with them. What’s the rule of etiquette when someone brings items to a party? -- WONDERING IN FLORIDA DEAR WONDERING: When guests bring something to their hostess -- a bottle of wine or dessert -- it is considered a gift. For guests to commandeer the leftovers without them having been offered is poor manners. ••• DEAR ABBY: I was recently told by a friend that my husband had sent her texts of an inappropriate and sexual nature. My husband didn’t deny that he sent them and refused to tell me what he sent. This woman is envious of my husband and

jealous of our relationship. She often comments about how she’d love to have a man like mine, etc. My concern is, he admits he texted her, but I don’t understand why. My intuition tells me she told me the truth, but I want to trust my husband. Now I’m suspicious. I always want to check his phone, and analyze every aspect of our life and marriage. I feel this has put a huge wedge between us, and I no longer feel the same love and passion for him. Please help. What do I do now? Is my marriage over? -- SUSPICIOUS IN MICHIGAN DEAR SUSPICIOUS: Your marriage may not be over, but it could be in jeopardy. Considering what has been going on, you have every right to be concerned. Marriage counseling may help you and your husband get back on track if he’s willing to go with you. But if he isn’t, then for your own sake, get counseling on your own because you may need to talk to someone who isn’t emotionally involved in your turmoil. It will make you stronger. ••• DEAR ABBY: We go out to eat occasionally with another couple I’ll call Jack and Jill. Most restaurants around here offer free refills on soft drinks or self-serve. Jack will order water (free) to drink while Jill orders a soda. They then take their empty glasses and refill them with a colorless soft drink. They see nothing wrong with the practice. We think it’s stealing, and we are embarrassed. What are your thoughts, and how should we react when this is done in front of us? Lately we have been making excuses to avoid going out with them. -- EATING WITH CHEAPSKATES DEAR E.W.C.: I agree that it’s stealing. Jack and Jill are taking something to which they are not entitled. Have you spoken to them about it? If you have, then because their behavior makes you uncomfortable, you are justified in not going out with them. ••• DEAR READERS: If you live in a state in which daylight saving time is observed, don’t forget to turn your clocks forward one hour before going to bed Saturday night. Daylight saving time begins at 2 a.m. this Sunday. Hallelujah! It’s my favorite “holiday.” ••• Dear Abby is written by Abigail Van Buren, also known as Jeanne Phillips, and was founded by her mother, Pauline Phillips.

It’s that Southern Belle look. Statement piece jewelry items are pretty in right now and a great handbag can go a long way. Don’t over accessorize though.

atering can sometimes be a crapshoot. You can go cheap and not get the quality you and your guests deserve or overpay and still not be satisfied. This is the condTastes undrum that’s been tackled by brothers Chuck and Joe Krill at IGOR Colonnade Catering, where they GURYASHKIN have successfully hit the sweet spot for the past 19 years. Located in the basement of the PNC Building, downtown, they have been feeding hungry lunchtime diners for years while also catering every event imaginable across Kentuckiana. So we decided to sample some of their fare and find out what’s kept them going for so many years. The first item we sampled was a real treat – roasted pork tenderloin wrapped in applewood smoked bacon, with redskin stuffed potatoes and shallots, garlic broth piped back into the potato drizzled with a burgundy red sauce. There was a real smoky flavor to the pork courtesy of the bacon, while the saltiness and richness of the meat was cut through by a sweeter note of blushing pear and asparagus, while there was the needed acidity of the chopped shallots garnish. The food is the creation of head chef Brian Harvey as well as the old recipes handed down to the Krill’s from Colonnade’s century old history. “Most of the time, if I’m not using the Colonnade recipes, then I am making whatever comes out of my head and most of these are my ideas and recipes,” explains Harvey, who has been with the Krills for close to three decades. “I’ve been doing this for close to 30 years, it’s my job, my profession.” The second sampling was of a dish that the Krills say is one of their more popular options when it comes to all catering affairs – chicken breast stuffed with wild rice, three cheeses (feta, cheddar and parmesan), as well as spinach, mushrooms and diced tomatoes. The dish was rich in flavor but light to eat, which was helped along with a vegetable medley side that consisted of broccoli, carrots, red onions, green beans, yellow squash, baby bell peppers, and a garnish of shallots.

evening function.

Over 100 years ago, the Colonnade was a chain of restaurants in 13 locations scattered across the United States. As downtowns around the midwest declined, so did the chain. But the Krills who have been commandeering their branch of Colonnade for 19 years are doing well and enjoying their time feeding the public on a daily basis at the bottom of the PNC Building as well as through their catering arm Cravings a la Carte, having spent the past nine years there.

A real treat was the stuffed tomato with a country ham salad, with eggs, mayonnaise, bell pepper, and ham from Clifty Farms. It was salty, authentically country-style and a great appetizer for any occasion and another sure-fire success at any catered event.

“This location has been great for us and we’re very lucky,” explains co-owner Chuck Krill. “This location really is the epicenter of downtown Louisville at lunch.” “We carry our tradition from the Colonnade here because we have recipes that are 100 years old and we still rely on those. We cater to all occasions - weddings, corporate events, and we can do things very quickly and at the last moment,” adds fellow co-owner and brother Joe Krill. The next dish was a penne carbonara with grilled chicken. A velvety, luxurious sauce consisting of bacon, romano and parmesan cheeses in a heavy cream topped with red peppers and sun-dried tomatoes was a perfect hearty dish for the cold months or for an

The same can also be said for the host of desserts that can be found both at Cravings a la Carte as well as at Colonnade, owing to Harvey’s great passion for baking. “When we cater night events,’ explains Harvey, “I can do any kind of dessert that you’d like, rum cake, strawberry short cake, which is our most popular item. Or triple chocolate brownies, Boston cream pie, carrot cake. You name it and we make it from scratch right here.” If you want an event catered, whether at the last minute or in advance then it’s hard to go wrong with Colonnade Catering. “We do weddings, office parties, corporate events,” concludes Joe Krill. “We do close to 10-12 events every single day and cater all across the region.” For more information visit www.cravingsalacarte.com or call 502. 584.6846 VT

Immaculate Conception Serves up an Immaculate Fry

his past Fryday, our search for the town’s greatest Fish Fry took us, well, out of town, to Immaculate Conception in La Grange. This beautiful parish can be found just minutes off I-71, and the drive is worth the short trip to Oldham County.

The Fish Fry Guys TONY COLYER

JEFF AMES

FRIENDLINESS FISH The Fry Guys are still raving about the fish served at Immaculate Conception. The filets are unique in their crispy texture and thin cut. The batter packs a flavor unmatched by most Frys we’ve seen. A large dinner for $9 includes two sizable pieces of the tasty fish on your choice of bread and two sides. Children under six eat free! SIDES/DESSERTS Immaculate Conception also boasts one of the finest varieties of side dishes, including shrimp, fries, tuna noodle casserole, onion rings, hush puppies, mac ‘n’ cheese, cole slaw, baked potatoes, and green beans. The sweet glazed carrots were highly recommended, and for good reason. Don’t miss the Girl Scout Cookie table, which also featured a plethora of cupcakes. BEVERAGES The only thing the Fry Guys felt was missing from this wonderful Fry was the availability of adult beverages, but Immaculate Conception quenched everybody’s thirst with complimentary soft drinks, iced-tea, and lemonade. The “no beer” policy had at least a couple Fry Guys turning back on I-71, but it was their loss! M A R C H 5 , 2 0 1 5 • W W W . V O I C E -T R I B U N E . C O M

The folks at Immaculate Conception couldn’t have been happier (or more curious) with their traveling Fry patrons from Louisville, and they seemed genuinely entertained by our story. Service came with a smile and a warm welcome. VENUE The campus is large and the gym was plenty big to accommodate the many patrons. The pay first, cafeteria-style system kept a long line moving, even with a damaged fryer. There was plenty of seating and elbow room and the set up demonstrated to the Fry Guys that this wasn’t this parish’s first rodeo. OVERALL The Fry Guys have no regrets making the short trip to Oldham County. Many Fry Guys, whose experience includes Frys all over town, are calling Immaculate Conception the best food they’ve seen. If you’re looking for a great, reasonably-priced dinner on Fryday night, we strongly encourage you to head northeast to see what we’re talking about. Next week, the Fryars will take their talents to St. Michael, located at 3705 Stone Lakes Drive, Louisville, Ky. 40299. VT Scores Based On A Five-Fish Rating System

JDRF Promise Gala

he JDRF Promise Gala is a funfilled, sophisticated evening of cocktails, dinner, entertainment and a fabulous auction featuring upscale items, unique trips and once in a lifetime experiences. The Promise Gala honors an individual, couple, family or business who has accepted a unique partnership with JDRF to help lead the event’s financial success. This year’s Gala Honoree is the Ford Motor Company, with special guests Mr. and Mrs. Edsel B. Ford II, who will be in attendance to honor our local Kentucky Truck Plant and Louisville Assembly Plant. The highlight of the evening is JDRF’s signature Fund A Cure, a unique live auction in which the money raised goes directly to diabetes research. JDRF holds 90+ galas across the United States each year. More than 44,000 people attend the galas, representing some of the premier companies in local markets as well as the community's top executives and social leaders. We caught up with Lisa Reeves, Development Manager for JDRF's Kentucky chapter to hear more about this year's event to be held on March 7 at the Kentucky Derby Museum.

Kentucky Derby Museum, guests will not only enjoy participating in a fabulous event for an extremely worthy cause, but will also have the opportunity to peruse the wonderful exhibits at this nationally recognized venue. Why is JDRF such an important cause? As many as three million Americans are living with type 1 diabetes (T1D), with 30,000 more being diagnosed each year. JDRF’s research mission is to discover, develop and deliver advances that cure, better treat and prevent T1D. As the global leader in the fight against T1D, JDRF’s research programs are comprehensive — addressing the hopes and dreams of every person with T1D for the best quality of life and a cure for this disease. 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. The JDRF Kentucky and Southern Indiana Chapter boasts a wonderful community of regional supporters. This will be the 16th year for the Kentucky Promise Gala. While the event started out relatively small, each year it has continued to get bigger and better, garnering more support and visibility for JDRF research and those living with type 1 diabetes (T1D) in our community. Together, we have raised more than $4,000,000 locally through this event for research. What can guests expect this year, that they may not have seen last year? This year’s Promise Gala will be an event unlike any other JDRF Gala our patrons have ever attended. With a change of location to the

How much personal satisfaction is there in helping to stage this event? The JDRF Promise Gala represents our community coming together in a variety of ways, to support our mission of finding a cure for type 1 diabetes (T1D) through research. Whether it be through volunteer hours from our wonderful event chairs Jill Howard and Jane Morgan along with their committee, the purchase of a table or the donation of an auction item, it takes many, many people, to put on an event of this caliber, and we are so grateful for their generosity. When you can see the actual impact this organization has on the lives of those families who are living each and every day with T1D and its various complications, it’s an indescribable feeling knowing that we are making a difference in someone’s life. Are tickets still available? Also, how else can people get involved? This year’s event is officially sold out! For anyone who would like to get involved with the JDRF Kentucky and Southern Indiana Chapter, there are many ways to help. They can go to our website at www.kentucky.jdrf.org and click on the Get Involved tab for opportunities to volunteer, make a donation, participate in one of our local events and more. VT

TERWILLEGER-CERWINSKE ENGAGEMENT

This love story began 19 years ago. The Bride and Groom met in 1996 when he attended St. Xavier and she, Sacred Heart. Their first kiss was at Rock the Water Tower that year. Since that day, she wished upon a star to someday marry him. Having dated on-and-off since first meeting, her wish will come true 19 years later, on May 23, when she finally marries him.

Since 2010, they’ve run this establishment in St. Matthews’ Vogue Center on Lexington Road. It is a retailer cookware store and a learning center for anyone curious about cooking or baking. They offer classes and demonstrations led by guest chefs from Sullivan University and some of the area’s most prestigious restaurants. Kunz Bayens is a full-time realtor for RE/

ers and portioned ingredients while a chef guides them through the cooking process. “There are people who come rather than going out to dinner because they’re learning something,” says Kunz Bayens. “They’re having a wonderful restaurant-style meal and getting their cooking questions answered.” I chose to attend Brad Dillon’s “No-Knead Artisan Bread” demonstration, since baking is a relatively new thing for me. The room was filled with a wide age-range of men and women, watching a bread-making process, which requires more patience than work, to produce its beautiful results.

see how the dough is prepared before its 12 hour rise and then we got to see the benefits of using a Dutch oven for the baking process, along with tasty rolls on a sheet pan. A large tilted mirror and HD monitor are suspended from above to make the chef’s undertaking more clear to those in attendance. Dillon is a lawyer specializing in environmental cases, who came upon bread-making only eight years ago and has stuck with it, lending his familiarity with live public speaking to tell others how he makes his brand of exquisite breads. “…I knew nothing,” he says in reference to when he started, empathizing with others who are curious about his trade. “I always presume that everybody else knows

nothing and if they know more, good for them, but they’re going to come along, and they might pick up something along the way.” During the demonstration, we were provided complimentary coffee, wine, and fair portions of Brad’s breads with cheese and dates. I was glad I’d had a light breakfast. The unquestionable benefit to a hands-on interactive demonstration is the added value that online research - and even visually mouthwatering cooking shows - cannot provide. Seeing is one thing, but smelling and tasting is another. Being in the actual presence of food being cooked gives you a real sense of when something is being done right. It makes it more inspiring to

try it yourself later. And yes, I took home Brad’s recipes and picked up some wholewheat flour with a plan to have some outrageously tasty sandwiches this week. Considering how often I like to keep my cooking hobby a private learning experience, venturing out to learn something new with a group of enthusiastic people was a rewarding experience, and one I recommend, especially to those who want to start learning what’s possible in their own kitchen.

Loving LIFE

ev Leonhardt and Tim Thomas enjoy life and being married to one another. They have similar interests and tastes, like remembering mutual experiences and often finish each other’s stories.

she said, picking up the thread. “That happened three or four times, until finally I said, ‘This has been fun, why don’t we just go out on a regular date?’ ”

Homes STEVE KAUFMAN

A chance meeting at Bonefish Grill first brought them together and they each found a kindred spirit. “My friend and I used to haunt the places with the best happy hours, for inexpensive dinners,” Leonhardt recalls. “One night, we were at Bonefish and she saw someone she knew. He came up to the table to say hello. We were introduced, and that was about it.” They didn’t see each other again for a couple of weeks, until another happy hour meeting at Bonefish. “I had just bought a convertible and asked him if he wanted to go for a ride,” she said. “It was February, but she put the top down,” Thomas interjected.

They were married in 2013, sold their individual places and bought this 4,200-square-foot Lake Forest home in January, 2014. They then went about the task of blending their existing furniture, their tastes and personalities, into a shared space for two.

Not an unusual circumstance. But for these two, it seemed easier than for most. Though Leonhardt insists that she likes traditional, while Thomas favors contemporary, it doesn’t seem to have complicated their choices. They have much more in common than separate. The mostly neutral brown-and-beige color palette is a soft background for all the references to their lifestyle scattered about. Tabletops and walls are filled with many of their mutual interests: boats, University of Louisville sports, bourbon, local artists and horses – everywhere, horses. “We both love racing,” Leonhardtt explains. “Every year, we go to a lot of Derby events and we host a Derby-eve party ‘for 60 of my closest friends.’ ” There are pictures and artistic renderings of

horses, crystal and ceramic horses, sculptured horseheads of all manner of materials and, most dramatically, a 7-foot plywood cutout of a horse, by local artists Ashley McDonough and Jonlyn Conway, above the fireplace in the living room.

That also explains a tall sailboat in one corner of the room, though the sailing and boating motif also repeats throughout the house. The couple are â&#x20AC;&#x153;bigtime boatersâ&#x20AC;? who have a 40-foot Sunray docked in a Cardinal Harbour slip in Prospect.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;We won it at a silent auction at the Fillies Ball,â&#x20AC;? Leonhardt recalls. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Tim said, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;What the hell are we going to do with it?â&#x20AC;&#x2122; But I said, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Oh, heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s so cute, letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s get him and weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll figure it out.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; Besides, we got it at a reasonable price . . . because no one else wanted it.â&#x20AC;?

Tim tends to collect what he loves, which explains an array of special edition Makers Mark bottles lining shelves in the kitchen, Cardinal-themed on one side, Wildcat-themed on the other. One annual Makers release has both red and blue wax on the top, the top-most color depending on who won the December game.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s certainly a conversation piece,â&#x20AC;? Thomas shrugged. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Besides, with an 18-foot ceiling in the room, we have a lot of vertical space to fill.â&#x20AC;?

But the bottles Thomas clearly values the most are a set of three commemorating Secretariat (1973), Seattle Slew (1977) and Affirmed (1978), the three most-recent Derby winners who went on to win the Triple Crown.

The democratic display of blue and red bottles in the kitchen vanishes in the expansive walkout lower level, which Bev refers to as “our Go Cards! room.” Tim is a UofL graduate, and Cardinal sports references predominate the large party-and-entertaining space: a bar, table and stools, posters on the walls, beer mugs on the bar, signed basketballs and footballs, pillows, blankets, a wastebasket, a tissue box, inscribed plates, even the shower curtain in the downstairs bathroom. Tim has an office off the room – post-retirement, he operates Perfection Enterprises, a company that buys and sells office furniture. Above his desk is an ornate, Tiffany-style chandelier of the kind that hang over pool tables. It’s blue and white because, well, that’s what was there when they bought the house. “I’m getting ready to replace it with a red one,” he says. Just outside the walk-out is a hot tub, underneath a sealed deck so they can use it regardless of weather. Bev and Tim enjoy life. VT

ve Theatre Company co-founder Susan McNeese Lynch has written a new production, “Bourbon Babes of the Bluegrass.” The Brown-Forman sponsored show about women in bourbon history runs March 5-8 at the Bard’s Town theatre. Optional tastings are offered, Thursday through Saturday, before each performance.

Arts & Entertainment PETER BERKOWITZ

toward several books including “Illegal Odyssey: 200 Years of Kentucky Moonshine,” by Betty Boles Ellison; “Kentucky Women: Two Centuries of Indomitable Spirit and Wisdom,” by Eugenia Potter and “Whiskey Women,” by Fred Minnick. All of these books helped, particularly in identifying who might be good subjects for a play.

Which women have been especially inspirational to you?

Peter’s Picks

How is this one-hour production structured? “Bourbon Babes of the Bluegrass” is a compilation of seven monologues that outline the lives of seven different women who figured prominently in the bourbon and whiskey business. The monologues are woven together with a series of short scenes and songs that we call “mixers.” The “mixers” focus more on the contemporary scene and feature recipes, cold remedies, funny stories and some unusual facts and figures. The show is designed to gently inform while entertaining. How did you get the idea for this show? As a co-founder of Eve Theatre Company, I am always on the lookout for a good story to tell. But believe it or not, the idea for “Bourbon Babes” came to me while I was at the Kentucky Derby last year, I still have the notes and ideas that I scribbled in my program. I was looking at the ads for bourbon and other distilled spirits, and many of them were clearly talking to women. I wondered why we didn’t have any bourbon heroines. I started asking around after that, and I was pointed

Each of these Kentucky women have important stories to tell, but my favorites tend toward the ones that operated a little out of the mainstream, like Maggie Bailey, who was a highly successful bootlegger in Eastern Kentucky; Carrie Nation, who carried out many a “Hatchetation” as she swung her temperance message through the Midwest; and Mary Murphy Dowling, who fought against Prohibition by moving her entire operation to Mexico. These were all strong and smart women who made a difference. The other women portrayed in the show are Mary Myers Beam, Elmer Lucille Allen, Catherine Spears Frye Carpenter and Marge Samuels. Is the industry more gender-balanced today? I am no expert, but I would have to say that the industry is definitely more gender-balanced today.

LIFE

The Women of Bourbon For one thing, women consume more bourbon, and that makes them more interested in working in the industry. We have a growing number of female Master Distillers and Master Tasters, and this is all a good thing! Tell me about how you set up the tastings, and how you recruited the masters. We are so pleased to be able to offer preshow bourbon tastings for each of our evening shows and even more pleased that we can offer the experienced tasting skills of Carla Carlton, the original Bourbon Babe blogger (who generously let us use the term “Bourbon Babes”) on Thursday; Susan Reigler, award-winning bourbon and travel writer, on Friday; and Marianne Butler, former Master Taster at Brown-Forman, who just recently took a leadership position with the Old Taylor distillery, on Saturday. Each of these experts selected their choices of three bourbons to taste, and the service will be provided by our host, The Bard’s Town. September is Bourbon Heritage Month. Will you revive this production then? We would love to! We are already scheduled to perform the show at the Bourbon Women Association’s Taste Affair at the Governor’s Mansion in June, and we have been approached about doing the show at various sites around the state. The show was designed to be pretty flexible so that we can take advantage of these kinds of opportunities. VT

What was mostly effective, however, was the general lack of the film’s title character whose appearance at the end had a strange effect. When Leonard Nimoy turned around, revealing his face, I felt like I already knew him.

I never saw “In Search of…” but I did see him spoof it on a 1997 episode of “The Simpsons” with an opening monologue, which I found to be so funny, I’ve kept it memorized to this day. Along with his cameos on that show, he lent his distinct voice to a lot of cartoons and movies. Like another famous Trek alum, he tried his hand in music. Notably, with one of my favorite bad songs ever recorded, “The Ballad of Bilbo Baggins.” I won’t go into that one. After the big success of the fish-out-of-water sci-fi comedy that was “Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home,” Nimoy tried his hand in directing other movies, like “Three Men and a Baby,” which was the highest-grossing U.S. movie in 1987. But his triumph as a film director was only brief. Nimoy co-wrote the sixth Star Trek movie, which functioned as a beautiful farewell to the original cast.

He had been with the entire movie, but behind the camera, working as director on a major motion picture, for the first time in his career. After a lot of resistance, to get on board with the resur-

When I learned of his passing a few days ago, the sadness I felt was quite familiar, since my first exposure to Star Trek (and Nimoy) was in a movie that began by reprising Spock’s notable death scene. His Vulcan catchphrase, “Live long and prosper,” easily applies to his long and prosperous life. VT

PUZZLES

pets of the week Lucy is a nine-month-old Labrador retriever/Australian cattle dog mix. Lucy loves to chase after balls and would love to play tug with you. She will need someone who has the time to take her on long walks, and she would be delighted if you wanted to help her learn commands. Lucy is a big girl, and because of her high energy level, she would probably do better with children over the age of five. She’s been spayed, micro-chipped and is up-to-date on her vaccinations. Come meet her today at the Kentucky Humane Society’s Springhurst Feeders Supply adoption center, 9485 Brownsboro Road. Princess is a very special one-year-old calico girl. She came to the Kentucky Humane Society after a kind family took her in from the cold. She loves to hang out up high and watch the birds outside of the window. But when the staff comes around to play, she loves to rub on them. If you scratch her neck she will be your best friend. She is extremely social and affectionate and has never met a stranger. She also loves to play with cat toys and ribbons. She is spayed, micro-chipped and up-to-date on all vaccinations. Come meet her at the Kentucky Humane Society’s Main Campus, 241 Steedly Drive.
