elcome to a week where we get to celebrate one of Louisville’s genuine homegrown institutions, Wild and Woolly Videos. After 18 years of providing the city with just about every movie you could think of, from the hardest to find to the biggest blockbusters, the store is closing its doors. We spoke with owner, Todd Brashear about how he evolved from playing with one of the most significant indie bands of the late twentieth century, to owning the city’s most important and quirky video rental stores. Brashear and others share moments from its storied past in this week’s cover.

and shares a few of his secrets to success.

In sports, the Cards gave us all something to cheer about on Saturday with their marquee upset over number two, Virginia. Mangok Mathiang scored the game-winning shot in the last few seconds, sending the crowd into a joyous uproar in relative disbelief. The progress of players like Mathiang, and Quentin Snider has been a real pleasure to watch as UofL heads into the month of March. Across town, Bellarmine, a top regional seed, will soon host the NCAA Division II Midwest Regional tournament. The Knights have only lost three games this season, and have their sights set on another national championship. Kent Taylor was able to sit down with Head Coach Scotty Davenport, who led them to a 2011 NCAA Division II title. And as always, it wouldn’t be March Madness without hearing Tony Vanetti and Matt Jones battle it out in Verbal Scrimmage.

In business profile we introduce you to Eastwood Records, a local record label that hopes to one day become a Louisville institution in its own right. With the decline of the corporate music industry, small record labels that push local or indie musicians, and vinyl over digital downloads, are becoming an influential and important musical niche. Owner Wesley Allen shares how the rich and vibrant music scene he experienced locally was the spur to starting his own label,

Around town, Wine, Women & Shoes provided a great opportunity to support the wonderful work of Family Scholar House, whose mission is to end the cycle of poverty by giving single-parent students the support they need to earn a four-year college degree. This wonderful event featured a phenomenal fashion show produced by Saks Fifth Avenue and emceed by WLKY’s Vicki Dortch. The Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation celebrated their annual Promise Gala at the Louisville Marriott Downtown with two very special guests in attendance. Edsel Ford, great-grandson of Henry Ford and his wife Cynthia were there as the Ford Motor Company was honored for their support of JDRF. Locals had the opportunity to enjoy amazing products from our city’s own manufacturers at the Taste of 502 including beverages from Heaven Hill, Rooibee Red Tea, Brown-Forman and Ale-8. And we cap off Society with the always exciting First Friday Trolley Hop, which was made even more enjoyable this month as it featured the opening of the Local Speed’s “Teatime Chic,” where guests had the chance to see historical tea and coffee services.

Home of the Week takes us to the Peterson-Dumesnil House in Crescent Hill, for an illuminating look at this 19th century Italianate summer home. Originally built for a local tobacco trader and later owned by the Louisville Board of Education, this historic piece of architecture deserves to be appreciated and we take you on a walk through its evolution across time.

Speaking of evolution, Peter Berkowitz, speaks with local NPR and PBS host, Jonathan Bastian, about his turn as a musician, with a new album of electronic music out on Gil Holland’s sonaBLAST! Records, and this week’s Out and About has us venturing out to the world of go-karting. You can’t really go wrong with this perfect family-friendly, indoor escape from the frigid temperatures.

Relax and enjoy!

Wild and Woolly is a video store with an atmosphere similar to that of a record store, which makes sense. Years after playing in the influential indie band, Slint, Todd Brashear considered opening a place to sell music before settling in the business of an oddball video rental. Walking in, there is something endearingly kitschy about Wild and Woolly’s bright green walls and red carpet. The store’s look is like a contrary reaction to the typically bland video store layout that commonly existed when he opened. Most of those stores are gone now. Soon, Wild and Woolly will be as well. s to r y B E N N E T T D U C K W O R T H ph o to s C H R I S H U M P H R E Y S

Brashear wanted this video store to stand apart

from others...

“It usually takes a certain amount of brightness or strange colors before I’m paying any kind of attention,” he says of the store’s aesthetic. “I probably didn’t think about it all that much. In a lot of ways I wanted it to feel like kind of a fun atmosphere even though we have lots of strange stuff and all that.” Odd collectibles and signed celebrity photos are randomly arranged on the walls. A Star Wars Pinball machine stands in the corner play area for kids, where toys and building blocks are laid out. Highlight movies including new releases and staff recommendations - line shelves, while the majority of the inventory is represented in upright stacks of laminated cover art to flip through.

While the closing of a popular local record store, like ear X-tacy, was bad news for CD and record buyers, Brashear’s recent announcement that his great video store (which outlived the nearby Blockbuster) will be closing, is very sad news for locals who still go out to rent movies.

“I don’t think the studios have screwed up with movies as bad as the record labels screwed up with music,” says Brashear, regarding the question of decline in physical media. “They got caught with their pants down and now they’re allowing Spotify and all these

things to happen because they kind of have no choice at this point.”

We’re in a different world now. With Netflix, HuluPlus, iTunes, Amazon Prime and Redbox, there’s a fair amount to conveniently choose from. Hulu offers a huge chunk of The Criterion Collection –which means movies of artistic significance from around the world going back to the dawn of cinema. There was a time, not too long ago, when finding such films on video was a challenge. But a place like Wild and Woolly did their best to find them and rent them out.

Wild and Woolly Video opened in a small building on Baxter Avenue in 1997. As a neighbor to the nearby Around the World Video (specializing in foreign titles), Wild and Woolly helped make Louisville’s Highlands neighborhood the place to go, when in search of hardto-find movies from the highly acclaimed, to the unquestionably weird (before YouTube made finding weird stuff, a piece of cake). Years went by, Around the World closed and Wild and Woolly found a larger space only a couple blocks down at 1021 Bardstown Road. The new space accommodated their ever-growing inventory and made browsing easier.

Brashear was gathering up what may have been considered an oddball library, but the truth was, he was after the kind of movies, which had a massive, yet unnoticed following. “I was more interested in trying to appeal to people who watched more movies,” he says. “That was one of the reasons we had Kung Fu movies and horror movies and all that -because people who like this stuff REALLY like it. They’ll watch ten of these a week.”

Since the beginning, their movies were organized with creative categorization. They don’t have an action section. It’s too broad a category. They do have a “Swashbucklers!” section, an Alfred Hitchcock section, and once they were out of control to the point of creating a Jeff Goldblum section. When standing in line at the checkout, a video screen is often playing some bizarre obscurity from their collection, which turns the heads of the curious customers.

The store attracted a big following of people from, and far outside, The Highlands. Some of these folks became employees, acting as helpful casually dressed librarians to fellow movie lovers who frequented the place.

I’d exhausted the other video stores in town. But I worked at Blockbuster two years prior to coming here,” says Chris Wunderlich, a man who has been helping Todd run the store for over a decade. “When Todd opened the first store, I had accessibility to movies I wanted to see… It also exposed me to so much more stuff -things I wouldn’t have been exposed to –for better or worse,” he laughs.

He shares his history with the store while at work. Morning customers are arriving, chatting with other employees while engaging in the storewide liquidation sale. “This is family.” He says. “I’ve loved everybody who’s worked here.” A chuckle follows, “The way I can sum it all up is that sometimes it feels like the inmates are running the asylum. Especially when Todd’s not around.”

Wunderlich recalls an example of this.

“There was a morning that I was opening with another employee who’s usually pretty mindful about what he watches in the store (on the video display). You don’t want to put on anything too rough –especially in the daytime. He decided to put on ‘The Gruesome Twosome’ and Todd just happened to show up at that moment and was like, ‘Why are you all watching this?’ and my co-worker was like, ‘Well

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

it’s been a minute since I’ve seen this. I can’t remember it’ and Todd’s like, ‘This is Herschell Gordon Lewis.’

‘Well… yeah.’ He said.” [Gordon Lewis was a filmmaker notorious for defying decency standards in 1960s cinema].

Wayne Mansfield has been working at the store for five years. “I was looking for a VHS copy of ‘The Evil Dead’, which was hard to find and I came in and fell in love with the place,” says Mansfield, who came to be the store’s protector one day while working, when a man threatened the employees. “He came in demanding money, saying he was going to rob the place. When he didn’t present a gun and the opportunity arose, I remember tackling him and putting him down –in a headlock.

The customers jumped in (restraining him) until the police came.” Mansfield has since done work with Metro Corrections.

Former employees shared some words as well. Tracy Heightchew has been an active curator of movie presentation in various societies and venues for a long time.

Naturally, Wild and Woolly was once part of her life as well.

“I didn’t move to Louisville until I was eighteen,” says Heightchew, “which was when

10

Wild and Woolly opened. I was one of the first couple people to get a membership. I walked in and saw that they had Roman Polanski’s ‘Macbeth’… I had been obsessed with Polanski movies … and that was one of the few I hadn’t been able to see.”

As Heightchew worked at the store off and on, four to five years, she recalled how personal the atmosphere was –especially on Halloween. “…You could see everyone coming through to get their horror films and bringing their dogs,” she says citing the dog-friendliness of the establishment.

They also had special guests visit the store.

George Romero, the father of zombie horror, visited once, gracing our city in just the right place.

He wasn’t the only one. Rudy Ray Moore (“Dolemite”), special effects legend Ray Harryhausen, Caroline Munro (“The Spy Who Loved Me”), Ken Foree (star of the original “Dawn of the Dead”) and Louisville’s Jim Kelly (“Enter the Dragon”) came in to visit,

F e at u r e

greeting fans at the store. Former employee, Rod Whiteneck had fun driving Kelly around town, reacquainting this martial arts action star with the place where he used to live.

Whiteneck recalls what led him to help run the store for a time. “…When he (Brashear) opened Wild and Woolly, I read about it in a newspaper and I was like, Oh my god! That’s the store I always wanted to see!” Whiteneck, soon after, met Todd at the store. “We started talking and eventually realized that we had quite a bit in common.” At the time, Whiteneck was working at Suncoast Motion Picture Company. As the two became acquainted, Whiteneck asked about a job there instead.

Whiteneck affirms the concept that Brashear, a family man, formed a family in his staff as well. They shared appreciation for the normally overlooked gems that exist in the video format and for Todd’s roots in music.

“Todd is a music man,” he says. “He’s probably more of a music man than a movies man and he will admit this.”

“I’ve always been more into music than movies,” says Brashear. Eight years ago, when the store celebrated it’s tenth anniversary, he rented out Headliners for a show with Blowfly, Will Oldham and Fred Armisen.

These were all artists seen as having a crossover appeal between eccentric music fans and movie fans alike.

On Monday, March 23rd the store will close on its 18th anniversary followed by another music event at Headliners. It will feature Vaderbomb with Ultrapulverize and Stonecutters. [Tickets are on sale now] “It get’s easier and easier for people to stay at the house,” says Brashear. “In some

11

ways, I’m surprised we stuck around as long as we did… I think now Netflix and Hulu, you can’t beat in a lot of ways. For the price, how can you complain a whole lot really?

But there are still a lot of holes in what they have… It would take a lot to cover the same breadth of titles we offer in the store… I think when we close there’s going to be kind of a hole there.”

Brashear intends to become a certified Pilates instructor, hoping to pay forward what the discipline did for him during a physically strenuous stage in his life. His liquidation sale is still going with prices continuing to drop.

Brashear may not be renting out videos after he closes but he will be renting out the building, unless he finds another use for it in the near future. VT

ers, and Duncan Barlow’s psychedelic/ dream pop band, Hollow Talk.

Allen says the costs of producing an album often add up to as much as $3,000.

Business Profile WES KERRICK

“There’s just so much talent in this town that goes unnoticed,” Allen says.

“I couldn’t stand to sit by and watch it happen anymore.”

Allen launched his own record label, Eastwood Records, in January 2015.

“Eastwood” was his dad’s nickname.

Allen’s office and a jam space are situated in the two back rooms of Matt Anthony’s Record Shop, at 2354 Frankfort Ave. Allen has already signed The Tunesmiths, a blues-infused rock band with what The Courier-Journal has called “a sound from somewhere around 1967.”

He’s also picked up bluesy soul singer/songwriter Ricky Morse.

“He just has this voice that really comes out of nowhere,” Allen says. “And once it hits you, man, you can’t get away from it. It’s captivating. And the women just love him.”

To succeed as a record label, Allen says you need to bring on musicians who have already proven they’re sure to sell. That’s why he’s been talking to some legends: punk-rocker Peter Searcy, Americana group Tom Boone and The Back Porch PickM A R C H 1 2 , 2 0 1 5 • W W W . V O I C E -T R I B U N E . C O M

where it’s at.

Vinyl, in fact, was one of Allen’s biggest motivations to start his label.

Vinyl records come in all varieties – like marble or color pressings – and in any of three sizes: 7, 10 or 12 inches. And according to Allen, the sound quality is better than that of CDs or digital downloads.

He also sells band merchandise, and provides a duplication service for CDs, DVDs and Bluray Discs.

For Allen, footing production costs is a risk worth taking. He loves what he does.

“You don’t have to deal with the headache of trying to raise all that money,” he says.

It’s all about the fun of finding new talent.

In return, Allen gets a cut of musicians’ proceeds from music and merchandise.

“I’ll come in to work one day, and somebody will have dropped by out front and left me a CD to listen to, so I’m just constantly hearing new music – which is (why) I wanted to do this in the first place,” he says.

Once an album is produced, Allen promotes the artist and the album to drive sales.

The best way to drive musicians’ local sales is to arrange for them to open for better-known bands, Allen says.

He also promotes online through iTunes, Spotify and YouTube.

Allen says he’s making fewer CDs than he’d anticipated. But in today’s record industry, vinyl is

Unbeatable

The University of Kentucky Wildcats completed the first undefeated regular season in college basketball since Indiana notched a clean slate back in 1975-6. Some might say that for a team with nine McDonalds All-Americans and six projected NBA draft picks this was the least they should have accomplished, but with a blemish free national title year as fabled as horse-racing’s Triple Crown, nothing is guaranteed – even for the best in the land.

King KAT, Man of the Hour arl-Anthony Towns had people buzzing again.

Kenny Payne, Kentucky's associate head coach, called him "one of the most complete players there is" after he helped lead the Wildcats past Florida and to the first unbeaten regular season for a power-conference team in 39 years.

it's a game where I definitely have to go back to my room and, I guess as we all say, have Karlito chew me out a little bit."

Karlito likely won't have much to say when UK's decisive run comes up on tape.

GUY RAMSEY

Experts wondered aloud whether such performances could make him the No. 1 overall pick come June's NBA Draft.

One reporter asked Towns whether he was "feeling it" after his latest big game, which caught the 6-foot-11 freshman off guard.

"Feeling it?" Towns said. "I was feeling the rim a lot. I struggled today."

His stat line begs to differ.

Towns posted 13 points, nine rebounds and three assists as top-ranked Kentucky pulled away from Florida for a 67-50 win.

All Towns could think about, however, were the six shots he missed in 10 attempts, especially his 1-of-5 first-half effort.

"Every game I'm not going to be going 7 for 7, 10 for 10, 9 for 9," Towns said. "The only thing I can take out from this game is a lot of tape to improve my game and also just go back to the drawing board, see what I gotta do to get back."

Towns has set a high standard for himself over the last month, shooting 80 percent from the field in his previous six outings.

That helps explain his harsh self-critique.

"The game's not always going to be as efficient as always," Towns said. "But like I said, if one aspect of the game's not working for you, you gotta go to the other aspect. I'm glad I was able to keep playing defense the way I was playing tonight."

He certainly had that covered. Towns blocked six Gator shots in his 27 minutes, helping hold Florida to and 0.82 points per possession.

“My sister always taught me when one aspect of the game doesn't work for you, make sure all the (other) aspects work,” Towns said. “So I was just trying to be a defender out there, also. The offense was going to catch up and I'm glad it did, but

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

"When we needed him to play at the end, he played," Calipari said.

With 10:28 left, the Cats led by a slim 44-41 margin. Towns, however, spearheaded a 9-2 run that lifted the lead to double digits and began the celebration of a historic regular season. He scored four points, added two rebounds and a block, and started the spurt rifling a beautiful cross-court pass out of a double team to Devin Booker for a 3-pointer.

Craziness aside, Towns has evolved into a go-to guy for a Kentucky team with unparalleled depth. There were times early in the season when he blended in, but no more.

"It took me some games," Towns said.

"It's like I said, I went through the process naturally. I didn't make it artificial. I didn't try to rush everything. I just let it come to me and as time went on everything started to click."

He'll take the same approach to the next step Coach Cal is asking him to take.

"I'm on him because I want him to be the best," Calipari said. "I don't want him to be just a good big; I want him to be the best. He's working toward that." VT

"He's got a great feel of how to play," Florida head coach Billy Donovan said. "And the thing I like about him more than anything is when he does get post trapped, he's got long arms, he's got good vision, he's a good passer for a big man, he seems to be willing to throw it out of the post."

As willing a passer as Towns may be, he still has moments, says Coach Cal, where his judgment falters and he tries to make "hero plays." His coach won't stop until those have all disappeared.

"Well, look, I keep trying to explain to Karl, 'You are so good, you don't have to do anything crazy,' " Calipari said.

"I guess I just play the game," Towns said. "I don't have (any) fear and if I have to do something that a lot of people say is very risky I'm kind of the guy that would be the guy who would try to do it. I guess, yeah, that makes me crazy."

Sports Louisville’s 59-57 win over No. 2 ranked Virginia was the highest ever ranked opponent to be defeated at the KFC Yum! Center with the Cardinals ensuring that they have won their last three Senior Day games.

The Most Wonderful Time of the Year

I

t's hard to top the feeling of being a Louisvillian on Derby week, and both the holidays and the heart of summer are as enjoyable here as anywhere else I've ever been. For my money, though, there is no better time of the calendar year to be in Louisville than right now.

MIKE RUTHERFORD

Last week, The Wall Street Journal named Louisville as the unofficial "college basketball capital of the world." The title wasn't assigned as a reward for the Cardinals being the only team in Division-I to win at least 30 games in each of the last three seasons; it was given because Louisvillians watch more hoops than any other city in America...by a lot.

@cardchronicle

This week began with Louisville fans still riding the high of their team's biggest win of the season (courtesy of Mangok Mathiang!).It will get revved up even more as the Cards shoot for their fourth straight conference tournament championship, and it then ends with UofL finding out where it's heading and who it's playing on Selection Sunday. For a city more obsessed with college basketball than any other on the planet, these weeks represent the culmination of all the time spent analyzing recruits, begging for any offseason news, and following every dribble for four months during the winter. For many residents of the city, these few weeks will go a long way in determining how they remember the year of 2015.

This all might seem crazy to an outsider, but there's little about the Derby City's relationship with college basketball that makes much sense to the rest of the country.

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

College basketball games on ESPN this season are averaging a 5.9 rating in Louisville, which means that an average of 5.9 percent of the city's households are watching college hoops on "the worldwide leader in sports" anytime it is airing a game.

For a sport with dwindling attendance numbers and television audiences across the country, and whose product has been referred to as "unwatchable" a number of times this season, Louisville remains both a rock and an outlier.

We love the game 12 months out of the year, every year, but we really love it in March, in large part because it lays claim to the best postseason in American sports.

In no other postseason in this country are teams from 49 of the 50 states (get with the times, Alaska) represented. In no other postseason do all of those teams get the right to end their campaign by playing until they lose. In no other postseason is the sport's top prize theoretically obtainable for every team involved.

In these regards, college basketball is the most

21

American sport there is.

Sure, the regular season is slightly less exciting than it would be if only four or eight teams made the tournament, and sure there are plenty of squads that probably haven't earned the right to play for anything of any real consequence, but I think just about everyone agrees that the good far outweighs the bad here. Making sure every team that deserves a chance to prove itself -- even if that process results in some unworthy squads getting that same shot -- receives that moment is so much better than any alternative that doesn't allow for the same opportunity.

This time of year is so special in the city because it represents the endless possibilities of the weeks ahead. Sure, Louisville fans love college basketball, but they love Cardinal basketball even more. March is always magical, but if UofL is eliminated from the NCAA Tournament before its final weekend, that energy which is currently overwhelming the city instantly disappears and doesn't return for another 12 months.

Just two weeks after UofL basketball was forced to deal with adversity that many believed would ruin its season, the Cards are coming off their most impressive win of the season, and appear to be playing with a joy that has been absent far too often in the preceding months. There's no telling how far these newfound good vibes can carry the team, but hey, dreaming about the possibilities is the beauty of March. VT W W W . V O I C E -T R I B U N E .

Just says that one of the high points in coaching at Butler was of course winning a state championship, but to him the apex of coaching there has been, “Some of the relationships that we’ve helped build with the kids each of the years that I’ve been a part of the program. That’s been one of the things that’s been more important to me is the kids and how they’ve been able to create those relationships, and hopefully hang on to them for quite a few years down the road.”

For Coach Just and his players, pressure weighed heavy on this team after winning a state championship last year. He said by having a young team, the expectation was to win several more state titles. Despite coming up a bit short this season, the team still had quality wins over some of the top ranked teams in the state.

Butler by maintaining talented players and keeping them motivated. By having coaching experience in the college ranks, he prepares his players for the next level. The message he gives them for both on and off the court is, “Learn to do things right. You have rules [and] you have expectations. If you learn to do those things right [and] don’t take the short cuts, I think in the long run you’re going to have success, [and] you’re going to end up enjoying it because you’re doing it the right way. And trying to teach the kids accountability, [and to] do the little things to be accountable for what the expectations are, because that’s what you’re expected to do when you walk out the door in real life. So we try to teach that on the floor and off the floor, in terms of the whole person and the whole player.”

Coach Larry Just is one of six siblings who have marked X’s and O’s as a coach. Sure, in your typical family there may be times where each sibling tries to outweigh the other, but for the Just family, they just want to see their players do well. James Just, the head coach for Manual high school was also honored as Coach of the Year for the Region Seven boys. Younger brother Larry says, “I think for both of us we don’t do it for the recognition part. Those things happen because your team has some success along the way. Some coaches happen to recognize that those two things happen to go together in a given year. But for neither one of us, it’s not about us. We tell our kids all the time it’s not about us. We had our chance to play. This time it’s about us as coaches trying to help these kids get where they want and to reach their goals. Those are the things we want most out of coaching. It’s not the honors and the rewards, but it’s to see kids do well.” VT

Despite the absence of Take Charge Brandi, the Rebel will still be must-see racing.

Meanwhile, the ticking of the Derby clock for Breeders’ Cup Juvenile winner Texas Red grows louder, but there is positive news from his camp. Texas Red has finally returned to Santa Anita following farm rest because of a foot abscess discovered after his 2015 debut as runner-up in the Grade III San Vicente on Feb. 1 at Santa Anita. Trainer Keith Desormeaux, brother of three-time Derby-winning jockey Kent, hopes to work Texas Red each of the next two weekends and, if all goes well, run his colt in the Grade I Santa Anita Derby, an April 4 race in which he would face the imposing Dortmund.

With respect to Kentucky Derby Day at Churchill Downs and the Triple Crown races, all of these contenders are off-Broadway as they prep for their turn in the big stage spotlight. But, with about 50 days to go until the Derby, each day and each race or training move grows in importance for American Pharoah, Texas Red and every other horse bidding to compete in the race on the first Saturday in May. The Kentucky Derby is the race that everyone wants to win, but only one horse will.

What happens over the next few weeks will determine which horse is ready for that singular spotlight beneath the Twin Spires when their defining moment arrives. VT

Trained by three-time Kentucky Derby winner Bob Baffert, American Pharoah’s Rebel run will be his first race since Sept. 27, an extraordinarily long time between efforts by a major contender for any Kentucky Derby. He was knocked out of a planned run in the Breeders’ Cup Juvenile by injury and Baffert has taken a slow and careful approach to his return to racing.

He was a dominant force at two, and the Rebel will provide a strong indication as to whether that is still the case six months after he most recent race. Texas Red scored a runaway win in the Breeders’ Cup race in the champion’s absence, but was beaten nearly five lengths by American Pharoah in a meeting in Santa Anita’s Grade I FrontRunner.

Saturday’s return by American Pharoah was to have been enlivened by a Rebel showdown with Take Charge Brandi, the D. Wayne Lukas-trained 2-year-old filly champion of 2014.

Bellarmine is set to host the NCAA Division II Midwest Regional this weekend. The Knights are the top seed and take on eighth seed Drury at 6 p.m. on Saturday night. Bellarmine is 27-3 and had it’s 15-game winning streak snapped in a 77-70 setback in the Great Lakes Valley Conference tournament final by Drury. This is the third time that Bellarmine has hosted the Midwest Regional. Scotty Davenport led the Knights to the 2011 National Championship.

How big is it to host an NCAA regional?

It’s every game. Now it’s every possession of every game. We’re 27-3, playing the toughest schedule, in my opinion, in the history of this school, playing in the toughest region in the United States, and the toughest league in the United States. I’m incredibly proud of these guys. Everything we tried to accomplish when we started working back in August is still in front of us.

Taylor’s 10 KENT TAYLOR WAVE3 Sports

Describe the advantage of playing at home?

Obviously, you’re in comfortable surroundings. Last year we had to travel to Drury, it’s about a seven hour and 45 minute drive. It’s 18 miles under the cutoff for the NCAA flying you. We’re going to play in front of the best fans in the entire country. The atmosphere in Knights Hall for this entire year and most of my tenure here has been second to none throughout the country.

You couldn’t ask for anything better.

Where did this rank on your list of goals for the season?

the atmosphere in Knights Hall for an NCAA Midwest Regional final. Yeah, that’s a huge advantage and we’re going to play in front of these fans because they’re knowledgable and the best thing about them is that they love these Bellarmine Knights.

How do you feel about opening up with Drury, having just lost to them in the GLVC tourney final?

It’s a totally different game. They started five seniors, their only way of getting into the NCAA tournament was to win the game.

We really just didn’t defend the way we’ve been defending. They had a phenomenal basketball game. They deserve all the credit.

How did that affect the kids, since you hadn’t lost in 16 games?

They were devastated. They were hurting because they cared. They’re driven and caring is a great thing. If you care about making a B, and you want to get an A in that class, that’s a great thing. I met with them in the locker room before the NCAA draw, and I said, ‘Look, the pity party is over, pick your

This was established by the players. By the three captains, Jake (Thelen), and Corbin (Maynard) and George Suggs.

They said, our first goal, first and foremost will be to host the regional tournament, and they did that, driven by that long drive to Drury last year.

How much more difficult does it make it in division II, when you have to play teams that you have already faced two or three times this season?

It takes away from being a national tournament. We’re going to play a team that we just played. If we had won the first round of the NCAA tournament last year, we would have played the University of Southern Indiana in the second round. That would have been our 32nd game of the season, eight of our 32 games would have been against either Indianapolis or Southern Indiana.

Is there any talk of maybe mixing up two regions that are so close to each other?

A lot of coaches talk about it. At the NABC convention, when the coaches meet, they talk about the possibility of having a true national tournament. They do it in D-III and they do it in D-I. There is enough analytical information now that you could come up with a field of 64.

If it did come to that, how many teams would get in from the Midwest Region?

I’m defensive of this region, I think on a given year we have anywhere from 12 to 16 teams good enough to be in the national tournament, just because the balance of power is so centralized right here in the Midwest, where there is such a passion for basketball.

Is it safe to say that you are not surprised that this group was able to accomplish this goal?

You say that the atmosphere is great for normal games in Knights Hall, but isn’t it significantly different for NCAA games?

No, I said in September, that I love this basketball team and I have not changed one bit. They were devastated after losing in the GLVC final, and that’s because they care so much. VT

versus

It's Tournament Time!

TONY VANETTI: A whole season of college basketball here in the Commonwealth. You guys are undefeated, Louisville are looking at a four-seed. It doesn’t get better than that does it?

MATT JONES: Well it could for Louisville, they could be better than a fourth-seed.

They’re kind of lucky to be a fourth-seed with the team they currently have. With Kentucky, it’s the greatest regular season that Kentucky basketball has ever had, no matter what happens over the next four weeks, it’s been a pretty amazing year for the Cats and I think people, especially UK fans should take a step back and realize how special this all really is.

VANETTI: I’ll give you props when props are due, and there has been very little drama around the program. I thought Cal would kick into “Calipari Mode” in the mid-season when it was starting to get boring, kick up some dust and just be Calipari. But that hasn’t happened and you’re winning basketball games and moving on. Louisville, on the other hand, have taken a team that in my opinion has a lot of mediocre players in the starting line-up and done pretty well going 24-7 against a strength of schedule that I think is not too bad. So, good for them, with Rick Pitino pulling it out. Now they go into the conference championship.

JONES: Well, it’s all about your perspective in regards to 24-7 being a good year. That’s fair to say. But there are two things that make it hard as a Louisville fan to be totally happy.

Number one is that you probably thought you’d be a little better than that. Not necessarily the record, but it doesn’t feel like Louisville is a contender to win the title, and I think a lot of Louisville fans thought they would be at least in the discussion to win the title if not be a contender. At this point they’re really not. The secM A R C H 1 2 , 2 0 1 5 • W W W . V O I C E -T R I B U N E . C O M

ond thing is – and I’m not mocking – because I have sympathy for UofL fans because it’s hard to enjoy 24-7 when 31-0 is down the road.

VANETTI: No, certainly Lexington is casting a shadow the last couple of years. But Louisville has been almost trying to match it by winning titles and going to Final Fours and competing and doing well. I will agree with you that there is a certain part of the fanbase that expected them to compete for a national title, including me. They were ranked in the top-5, they looked like they were just rolling through opponents, beating up what we thought were good teams in Minnesota and Ohio State and again, what Kentucky has done is cast that shadow over 24-7. It’s been a quiet 31-0 though, at least for us.

JONES: We’ve been very helpful haven’t we? We don’t brag about it. We just quietly go about our business. Here’s the thing that’s really rewarding the UK fans at the moment – in a year where North Carolina, Syracuse and Kansas are under investigation, and there have been sexual assault claims against Duke and Louisville – Kentucky in a lot of people’s minds has been this rogue program under Calipari. But this program has not only not been a scandal, they’ve had like the nicest kids in the world on their team. And there is nothing really that you can criticize UK about. After having a number of years where it felt like everyone was kind of out to get Kentucky. Now, even the people who were out to get them don’t have anything they can say.

VANETTI: To me, I just think it’s the sad state of the NCAA, as in the committee and the NCAA as an entity and how they run the NCAA and the basketball programs themselves. Syracuse is an absolute joke, Jim Boeheim I think should be gone by the end of the

26

year. He should be gone now. Kansas has their trouble, Duke has their trouble, Louisville too.

These are the blue bloods of college basketball.

This isn’t Iona; it’s the cream of the crop of college basketball. When you have that many problems you have to start looking at the overall picture and what we’re doing in college basketball.

JONES: And guess who’s not in trouble,

Tony?

VANETTI: There will be a rock that’s turned over and something will come up. No one can be this lucky.

JONES: It’s not luck, it’s good. It’s that six years have culminated in this wonderful group of young men who are representing the blue on the corn. And it is a beautiful thing. We’re going into the postseason now. For Kentucky, they’re heading into a conference tournament that both matters and doesn’t. They’re going to be the No. 1 overall seed no matter what, and their chances of winning the national championship don’t get hindered, win or lose. So this is about history Tony, don’t you agree? Staying undefeated.

VANETTI: Yes, there’s no doubt about it, because if you lose a game it won’t matter.

You’re the number one seed overall, no matter what happens. Kentucky needs to just roll in there and be themselves. But they can lose in the second round to LSU, and it won’t matter.

They will go into the tournament No.1 overall and take their chances. I know you don’t believe that a loss is ever good, but I think a loss for Kentucky in the SEC would not be bad.

JONES: I think there is a difference. I don’t think it would be bad, but I don’t think it’s necessary. That’s my only point. If it happens fine, if it doesn’t fine.

••• DEAR ABBY: I am the youngest of three boys. When I was growing up, my brothers didn’t have much to do with me. At times they were cruel, mocked my interests and made fun of my friends. At 19 I moved into the dorms, even though I was attending college locally.

My professional life took me away from my hometown for 25 years. Both brothers pretty much ignored me, except for calls on my birthday that were filled with awkward silence because we didn’t know each other well enough to talk about anything. I lived abroad for long periods, and even though I sent emails and postcards, I never heard anything from them in reply.

Now I live back in my hometown and I am expected to participate in holiday and family events because “it’s family.” Please give me the words to use to refuse invitations I do not want, from a family who made it clear that they had no use for me for so long. -- WARY IN WISCONSIN DEAR WARY: Give the following standard refusal: “Thank you for wanting to include me, but I already have other plans.” No one can argue with that. I do, however, suggest you choose ONE holiday a year to spend with your “family” as a way of maintaining minimal contact. That way they can’t accuse you of snubbing them.

KDF And Kentucky Lottery Looking For The 2015 Festival Fanatic For this year’s 60th Celebration of the Kentucky Derby Festival, KDF has teamed up with the Kentucky Lottery to name someone the 2015 Festival Fanatic! One lucky winner, as part of a second-chance promotion, will have the opportunity to claim nine individual Festival experiences, ranging from VIP treatment and a ride down Broadway in the Republic Bank Pegasus Parade, to being the Thundernator for the Festival’s Opening Ceremonies – the person who activates the fireworks sequence and starts Thunder Over Louisville.

Said Chip Polston, Vice President of Communications for the Kentucky Lottery Corporation: “Every year, we award a variety of experiences to our players as prizes. We’ve given them trips, concert tickets, and a wide variety of other items. However, the Festival Fanatic brings a collection of experiences to the table that is unlike any other promotion we’re able to offer. Where else are you going to get the chance to turn the key to start the largest fireworks show in North America, let alone all the other fan-favorite experiences this promotion has to offer?”

To enter the promotion, players must sign-in or register for a Fun Club Rewards account at kylottery.com. Once logged in, a player will be able to submit an eligible Keno ticket worth $5 or more for a chance to be named Festival Fanatic. (Keno tickets must be

purchased between March 2, and March 28 to be eligible.) All entries must be received by 11:59 p.m. E.S.T. on March 29, 2015.

Again, the drawing for the “Festival Fanatic”

will take place on March 30. The prize package includes nine Derby Festival experiences.

Some of those prizes include being the 2015 Thunder Over Louisville Thundernator, a hot air balloon ride, seats on Millionaires Row during Celebrity Day at the Downs and $500 spending money! For a complete list of prizes, visit www.kylottery.com.

“To help celebrate our 60th Festival, we want to give one person the experience of a lifetime,” said Mike Berry, KDF President & CEO. “We’ve enlisted the help of the Kentucky Lottery, because they’re the best in the business at giving away valuable prizes.

Somebody’s gotta win and we can’t wait to find out who that somebody is.”

Thunder Over Louisville – the Derby Festival’s Opening Ceremonies – is one of nearly 70 events produced by the Derby Festival in the spring. The 2015 show is set for Saturday, April 18, and it will be the 26th annual production.

The Kentucky Derby Festival is an independent community organization supported by 4,000 volunteers, 400 businesses and civic groups, Pegasus Pin sponsorships and event participation. It entertains more than 1.5 million people in a two-to three-week period every spring.

hase Barmore opened LIFEbar in 2010 as a way to find a healthier alternative to his own diet after his favorite juice bar closed. The difference he saw in his own health was like night and day, and it’s this transformative quality to juicing that has driven him ever since.

Juice Do It to open up LIFEbar.

So you opened up LIFEbar, because you were sad that it closed?

Yeah, because there was now no juice bar or anything like it anymore. At that time I was a raw foodist, which meant that I did not IGOR GURYASHKIN eat any cooked food, so I only ate nuts, fruit and no dairy or cheese or meats. I found out that I was allergic to genetically modified foods – so anything with hormones in it like salmon and meats.

I didn’t know this my whole life, so when I What are the origins of LIFEbar? switched to a plant based diet and got on a kick of juicing and eating really clean this juice I started it in 2010 because I was going place that I went to really helped me.

consuming. I wouldn’t crash, it gave me great energy and kept me healthy and my mind strong. It was like drinking food, it kept me moving and that’s how I was eating. It was quick and got me through the day.

That was your entire lifestyle though, so how would you say LIFEbar can help people who do not have the same lifestyle as yourself?

This can help anyone. In our culture today, it’s very hard to find non-processed ingredients. Nothing we do at LIFEbar is not processed; it is a very whole food diet. Someone who eats really unhealthy, but then walks into here, we can help them detox, help with a lifestyle that is normally very difficult and time consuming to do. It’s a very convenient way to get nutrients and vitamins.

“A lot of people come in and get this as a meal replacement and just add protein into it – we use plantfusion protein. This has around 16 grams of protein in it which means it’s a great meal for around 220 calories, which makes it dense nutrition for a low calorie intake.”

“This is a really good juice for someone to try. It’s nice and sweet with the apple and carrot. And all of our produce is certified as organic. Some people use juicing as a meal.

charity SPOTLIGHT The Gift of Life Gala will welcome over 500 guests to celebrate the accomplishments of the National Kidney Foundation and to honor those that support its mission. The evening includes a plated dinner, complimentary cocktails, silent and live auctions, and entertainment. The Gift of Life is the gift that keeps on giving, thanks in part to the dedicated support of so many who have received a kidney transplant or have family members who have had this miracle surgery. We caught up with April Enix, Director of Development for NFK Louisville to hear more about the event on March 14, 2015 at the Louisville Downtown Marriott.

Why is the National Kidney Foundation such an important cause?

Close to 26 million American adults have kidney disease and most do not know it, while 12 people die each day while awaiting a life-saving kidney transplant. Our efforts are focused on Awareness, Prevention and Treatment of kidney disease for those at risk and those living with kidney disease. We offer programming aimed at community based education which includes our KEEP

Gift of Life Gala a successful event. It could not happen without them!

Healthy program (free kidney screenings) and Your Kidneys and You (presentations given to community groups, schools, companies). Additionally, we promote the importance of serving as a voice for patients and practitioners in DC, offer free support through our patient helpline, and educate healthcare professionals around the country with the latest information to better treat patients.

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

This year, the attire will be black-tie optional with a splash of orange. All guests are being asked to incorporate orange (the color of NKF) into their attire. We have more silent and live auction items this year as well.

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.

It certainly is heartening to know how much support we receive.

The event has grown substantially over the last few years. Actually, we had 350 guests last year compared to 500 guests this year. We are almost at capacity! Our Committee works so hard to ensure

Are tickets still available? Also, how else can people get involved?

Tickets are still available, but limited. They are $150 each. We also have a Golf Classic on June 1 at Hurstbourne Country Club and our Kidney Walk on September 27 at Waterfront Park. Additionally, we always need volunteers for our programs and events. I can be contacted at 502.585.5433 ext.

hile the Old Louisville neighborhood takes much of the limelight for the spectacular homes it has to offer, there are other areas of town that are equally capable of delivering a beautiful home – all while showing off the rich history of the city. One such residence is the Peterson-Dumesnil House in the heart of Crescent Hill.

beautiful, to say the least.

The history of the house is no less interesting either. Constructed in 1869 as a summer home for Joseph Peterson, a prominent local tobacco trader, the property was left to his granddaughters CarHomes rie and Eliza Lindenberger after his death in 1889. Together they IGOR in the house, with Eliza marGURYASHKIN lived rying Harry Dumesnil and Carrie, Edward Rowland, living in the house with their families until Eliza’s death in 1948.

Take a walk through the grounds and it’s easy to see why the property is a registered landmark and one of the jewels of the neighborhood. The Italianate mansion, with a dazzling cupola is a sight to behold.

Upon Eliza’s death, the home was donated to the Louisville Board of Education, and was used as a retreat and club for teachers during much of the 1950s and ‘60s. But by the 1980s the house had fallen into disrepair and work was urgently needed on a property that the Board of Education had judged to be superfluous.

The result was the creation of the nonprof-

it, Peterson-Dumesnil House Foundation, that in 1982 bought the house from the Board and all of it’s 1.3 acres of land, including a carriage house.

“The Foundation spent an entire year collecting the money,” explains Foundation treasurer, Mike DaRif. “They went literally door to door to get that money as well as getting some local grants, and managed to purchase the property for $165,000. When they bought the property it was in quite a state of disrepair, to the point where some people considered tearing it down.”

“That’s what our mission is here,” explains Foundation president Rosie Scott. “It’s to preserve the house for future generations.”

There are a multitude of ways in which the

The most obvious way is via hosting weddings, which are the bread and butter of the house’s use and according to TK, there are still some dates available this summer and fall. Catering is provided exclusively by Bristol Catering, and the full grounds are made available for the wedding.

“Well over half of our operating budget comes from rentals and catering,” adds DaRif. “We have weddings, receptions, retirement, holiday parties, memorials and we did a couple of corporate events too.”

The most recent way in which the foundation hopes to raise money is by staging a talk by local historian Steve Wiser, who on Sunday, March 22 see page 60

will hold forth on the historic homes of Frankfort Avenue, within the district that stretches from River Road all the way up to Hillcrest.

“The reason why we’re doing the talk at the Peterson-Dumesnil House is because this is one of the last major historical homes in the district, nowhere near as many that had existed in the late 1800s,” concludes Wiser.

Tours are available of the house, but must be booked ahead of time.

KARTING Around M

ost of the time, I don’t like driving.

Unless it’s very late at night when the roads are clear, I find the ordeal of operating a vehicle to get to and from most places in my daily life to be an expensive, poisonous and agitating burden due to a foolish misstep in the design of the civilization we live in today.

reminder of how fun driving is when one may charge and swerve at their leisure.

protective gear before going out on the thousand-foot track. A group of kids in the small karts were just finishing their race.

In our case, we were being prepped for an adult car race, which means faster karts and the requirement of a valid driver’s license.

I wouldn’t claim to have been the best on the track that day, but a devil came out in me. I passed my girlfriend twice. This is the lady who is normally way more aggressive in traffic than my squeamish self. While I did my best not to bump into anyone, my normal caution, attached to all the dangers of real driving, was blissfully thrown to the wind. I could get used to coming here.

I couldn’t help but notice how handson and involved the employees are. Safety is a big issue, so there are plenty of young folks working like lifeguards ready to wave a flag if anyone needs to slow down due to a problem ahead. Naturally, using the karts

After the race, everyone is provided a printout of their results.

Bluegrass has been around since 2011 and they pride themselves on a year-round indoor track, which has a layout that offers more challenges and encourages more skillful driving than other tracks. They also offer a variety of pricing packages for individuals, groups and members.

Touring the area past the lobby, I could see how accommodating they are with planned events. They have a kid’s birthday party room, a conference room, a meeting room and a reception area ready for bar and catering services. This place would be one adrenaline-fueled business outing.

Being new to go-kart racing, I can say that what I took from the experience was comparable to the rush felt from a rollercoaster, except I had the privilege of controlling the ride. I guess go-kart racing offers me what I want when I’m behind the wheel, but I normally associate driving with the respect required when controlling something that can so easily become a weapon. This place is a fun and safe way to embrace the thrill of speeding. The most conceivably dangerous part of visiting this place is getting back in your real car to go home – and controlling yourself.

Almost in Sci-Fi is a Fail

id you ever see “Short Circuit 2”? If not, don’t bother. I think South African Film director, Neill Blomkamp’s latBENNETT est grungy sciDUCKWORTH fi film, “Chap- bennettduckworth.blogspot.com pie” seems to take some inspiration from that bad ‘80s movie about an innocent impressionable robot who gets exploited by criminals, except it’s way more violent. I get the sense that Blomkamp is usually channeling the kind of fantasy fiction popular during his childhood.

He loves clunky high-tech machinery set against a bleak futuristic land-

scape of gritty impoverished life. Like quite a few movies from that era, his films also feature content, which interest kids but come with R-rated ultra-violence attached.

“Chappie” is set in a future Johannesburg where the police force is made up of unstoppable robots. A desperate criminal gang (played by the South African “raprave” group, Die Antwoord) abducts a scientist (Dev Patel) under the impression that he has the ability to thwart the robots from interfering with their crimes. However, it turns out that the scientist was in the middle of an unauthorized experiment to imbue a damaged robot with real consciousness. When activated, it has the mind of a child, with the ability to learn fast.

The gang keeps it, naming him Chappie.

Like his hideous, yet mistreated aliens in “District 9,” Blomkamp has once again

succeeded in winning my empathy for a non-human character, which is computer-generated. He also continues to shoot CGI-filled movies with seamless results.

Despite his gifts as one of the few effects-driven directors who know how to create a convincing environment, Blomkamp, for the third time, fails to develop his thought-provoking plot past a halfbaked stage. Just like his other films, there’s a point where the story turns into brainless tiresome action brought on by dumb characters. In this film Hugh Jackman and Sigourney Weaver lend their star power as moronic antagonists in an attempt to boost the film’s box office potential.

In spite of all the inexplicable story developments, I still kind of liked “Chappie.” There’s something endearingly weird about giving Die Antwoord a vehicle film through big budget sci-fi with a sweet-natured robot character. Still, when is Blomkamp going to grow up and use his abilities for a story that makes sense? VT

Moreover, the possicalled “Morning Edition.”

His label, sonaBLAST! Records, calls it “10 tracks that balance both intense bass and blissful organic sounds.” Released under the artist name Bastion, Bastian says, “In Louisville, I realized that my identity was defined as a local NPR and PBS host. So when I started creating electronic music, I wanted to keep it private, as something I could do freely, openly, without worrying what people might think … Obviously ‘Bastion’ is a pretty transparent disguise, but it provided just the separation I needed.”

How did you get from NPR to EDM? Before I was a journalist, I was a musician. My best friend from high school started a successful Americana band called The Low Anthem, which I played in throughout high school and college. I also minored in music at college, studying a heavy dose of music theory and classical composition. But paths diverge and interests change. In my 20s, I wanted to write and work in public radio. Still, music lingered. It was this kind of unavoidable voice in the background, whispering, “I’m still here! You can’t get rid of me!”

What I never expected, though, was that the music I would eventually make would be electronic.

It happened like this: for two years, I woke up at 4 a.m. to

I’ve taken a hiatus from public radio and TV, but I’m about to return to the airwaves in Louisville.

I’m especially proud that there are no samples on this album. Everything you hear is original. I’m not averse to sampling, but it can be a crutch in electronic music.

Producing your own raw material is an important battle. I worked with one female vocalist on two tracks. She asked to remain anonymous on the album, so that’s all I can say. Aside from those tracks, they’re all instrumental. The album was influenced by two of my favorite electronic producers: Deadmau5 and Wolfgang Gartner.

I listen to these guys almost everyday and remain overwhelmed by the sheer creativity of their songs.

PUZZLES

pets of the week Arry is a two-year-old Labrador retriever/ Pitbull mix who is as friendly as can be. Arry gets very excited and is eager to play, so she would do best with an active family. Her high energy level means she’d do best paired with another high energy dog or as an only pet. She would not do well in a home with cats. She’s spayed, micro-chipped and up-to-date on her vaccinations. Come meet her at the Kentucky Humane Society’s East Campus, 1000 Lyndon Lane.

Boomer is a seven-year-old brown and orange tabby cat. She loves to lie in the sun and have her head scratched. She is extremely affectionate to her people and loves to snuggle. Boomer is delighted to have a pillow on her window seat, so she can watch the birds and squirrels in comfort. Boomer is front declawed and has never been an outdoor cat. She’s spayed, micro-chipped and upto-date on her vaccinations. Come meet her today at the Kentucky Humane Society’s Hikes Point Feeders Supply adoption center, 3079 Breckenridge Lane.

WE KNOW YOU DON’T WANT TO,

BUT SCHEDULE YOUR COLONOSCOPY. Colon Cancer is the 2nd leading cause of cancer death in the U.S. It’s also 90% preventable.

If you’re 50 or older, or have a family history of colon cancer, the most effective way to reduce your risk is to schedule a colon cancer screening. Call 855.34.KYONE (59663) to schedule a painless screening colonoscopy or talk to your primary care physician about fecal DNA or FIT testing. There is no reason not to be screened for colon cancer.

Just do it. Visit KentuckyOneHealth.org/Colon-Cancer for more information.
