DERBY EDITION ON STANDS NOW!
The Cards may have lost, but down the road, Lexington is celebrating – and soon, with the arrival of Derby season, we all will have plenty to celebrate across the Bluegrass. Aside from Derby, Spring also marks a time when “For Sale” signs begin popping up and interested home buyers turn their Sunday drives into open house marathons. For this week’s cover, Wesley Kerrick, provides the expert insights and advice of a number of fantastic local realtors. Selling and buying a home can be a complicated affair, but our real estate feature will surely ease the process. A new home can signal an exciting shift in life, a new road taken, the coming of new family members – many of life’s greatest memories begin with a new home. These realtors, with decades of experience, will help you find the home you’re dreaming of, or sell the home you’ve so enjoyed.
Dame that placed them in the much-coveted Final Four slot. With Andrew Harrison hitting two free throws with six seconds left of play, the Kentucky Wildcats continue their road to perfection against Wisconsin this weekend in Indianapolis. Guest columnist, Guy Ramsey with the University of Kentucky, takes an even closer look at UK’s nail-biting game against Notre Dame, noting that the Irish were an aggressive opponent for the Cats and created the first real threat to the team’s undefeated season. Meanwhile, John Asher takes us through the final stretch of days leading up to the 141st Kentucky Derby, with important races that hold meaning for Derby favorites and long shots. Around town, The Fund for the Arts hosted a wonderful night at the home of Leonard “Nappi” Napolitano and Kevin Borland where Louisville’s young professional leaders learned how they might become more engaged, with help from Ignite Louisville and the NeXt Generation Board. Miss Kentucky, Ramsey Carpenter, who has MS, hosted the National MS Society’s Women on the Move Luncheon where WAVE3’s Dawne Gee was honored with the Women of Courage Award. Across town, the blending of two fashion powerhouses was made as Rodes for Her and Blink Boutique celebrated their grand opening. Seneca Park played host to the Best Buddies Friendship Walk with participants walking for inclusion, friendship, leadership, and opportunity for people with and without Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities.
In sports, Mike Rutherford mourns the loss of our Cards to Michigan State in the Elite Eight round of the NCAA Tournament. UofL played a wonderful game, overall, only losing in overtime, and I think I speak for all Cards fans when I say we at The Voice-Tribune are so proud of their performance throughout this entire season. In Taylor’s 10, Kent Taylor sits down with Andrew and Aaron Harrison and their parents to discuss their sons’ performances in the Cats close win over Notre
Carla Sue continues her extraordinary adventures, setting out from Colombo, Sri Lanka through potentially pirate-infested waters, for the gorgeous Seychelles, but not before enjoying the unique opportunity to sit down with the ship’s crew for dinner. Our own Bennett Duckworth keeps up the theme of risk-taking, as he reviews “It Follows,” a popular—and in his estimation, a memorable—new horror film that centers around a girl who has been cursed. And talk about taking chances, in Tastes, our own Igor Guryashkin and Chris Humphreys took on the DiOrio’s pizza challenge. See if they, and two friends, were able to down a delicious, and enormous, 15 pound pizza in 40 minutes or less. It’s never been accomplished before, but records are made to be broken, aren’t they?

ehind every home is a story – a story not only of the life lived within its walls, but of real estate listings, mortgages, offers and counter-offers. When houses change hands, it’s a complex – and sometimes difficult – undertaking.
So if you’re considering buying or selling this spring, this is for you. What follows is a collection of advice from Louisville-area realtors, some of whom have decades of experience. They help people navigate these complex transactions every day. And here, they offer a few pointers that could lift you from a good sale price to a great one, or from an acceptable new home to one you’ll really love. VT

FOR SELLERS: “Take a look at your house objectively as you would through the eyes of a buyer, looking for anything that… might cause you to not buy the house or to reduce your offering price. And then consider making changes, updates and repairs to those objections to help make your home more welcoming and inviting to a potential buyer.”
FOR BUYERS & SELLERS:
“Buying and selling a home is stressful, especially when you do both at the same time, not to mention emotional and difficult on many levels. It’s important to meet with your agent early and set reasonable expectations for both parties. You really need to take the time, as well, to learn the market where you are interestCara King ed in purchasing, and determine your needs and wants. Once you under502.418.2882 • cara-king.com stand the numbers on both the purchase and the sale, you need to know your financing options. Many people today do not have a strong enough financial foundation to purchase another home before selling their own, so knowing this upfront can help you plan more appropriately. This will help avoid sleepless nights, stressful days or fights with your spouse or partner.”
FOR BUYERS: “It just seems to keep getting more challenging to find a really good home in good condition in a good location. … The first home you look at may be the very home that you want to buy. And if you’re interested in the home, there’s a very good chance there are other people who are interested in the home…Having your financial ducks in a row and knowing your wants and needs will help you go a long way towards gaining an advantage.”

Parks & Weisburg Realtors, Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices
FOR SELLERS: “Inventory of homes for sale in Louisville is (the) lowest in eight years. … Homes are selling in days, and multiple offers are now evident. This is a true seller’s market. Listing price is critical. You want your home to be in the market, not just on the market. ‘In’ reflects a listing price that encourages buyers to see the house right away…Be sure to select a listing agent who is enthusiastic about hosting open houses.”
FOR SELLERS: “The home should be priced ‘in the market’ and should be ready for sale. Houses in great condition priced appropriately are getting fast, and in some cases, multiple offers.” FOR BUYERS: “Be ready to pay at – or close to – asking price for houses priced appropriately in good shape. There is a limited inventory, and ‘low-ball’ offers often get rejected out of hand instead of countered.”
FOR BUYERS: “Be sure to get your pre-approval letter from your lender. This provides you with your dollar range of purchase and guarantees a strong offer when you find the right home. Your lender will help you with financing choices and inform you of any special programs or loan assistance available in our local area. Remember, you may only need 3-3.5 percent down to secure a loan.”

Semonin Realtors
Ellen Bland
FOR SELLERS: “Pricing is one of the most important things that you have to watch out for. It doesn’t really make any difference what I think the home is worth or the seller thinks the home is worth. It has to be worth what a buyer is willing to pay. And that’s where a lot of sellers become confused. They feel that if they put X number of dollars into their home, that it should be worth X number of dollars. And the biggest mistake a seller can make is over-improving without knowledge of the market. All buyers shop by comparison, and if you’re not positioned in the market properly, you stand out like a sore thumb.”
Wakefield Reutlinger Realtors FOR BUYERS: “Always have a survey done when you purchase a home…Only 2 or 3 percent of homeowners usually purchase a survey, so you’re most likely purchasing a home that hasn’t had a survey done on it recently. If you don’t have a survey done, you’re inheriting a problem. Encroachments, easements, and boundary issues may hurt (you) when (you) try to resell your property. And if those things were not discovered prior to your purchase, title insurance may not cover you.”

Alliance Realty
FOR SELLERS: “Supply is so low in the city. I don’t know whether it’s because of the weather we’ve had this year, but it seems like sellers are more hesitant to get their properties listed. I’d say, if you’re thinking about selling, it’s a good time to get listed and get it going.” FOR BUYERS: “Because inventory is so low, buyers need to be ready to make their decisions quicker.” For more information on Alliance Realty call Adele Guarino-Sanders at 502.365.2772 or email adelesellsrealty@gmail.com see page 12 A P R I L 2 , 2 0 1 5 • W W W .

FOR BUYERS: “There are a lot of home buyers right now who are looking in St. Matthews, Highlands, Clifton…they’re kind of the hot areas right now. We have a very high- demand, low-inventory situation. If it’s a good house, and it’s truly the one you want to live in, it’s probably going to be gone in a week. So you need to be prepared. Be aggressive, and be ready.”
FOR SELLERS: “Selling your home quickly in the spring depends on a buyer’s first impression when they see your house. If you want to sell in the first couple of weeks it is on the market make sure to clean up debris that has collected and plant some flowers for a pop of color. Freshening the interior of your home will give buyers an opportunity to imagine their own belongings in the house. Once the clutter is cleared out, make sure to clean the windows and baseboards to offer spring buyers a fresh, clean view of your home. Pricing your home right for the spring market is essential to make a quick sale. You may even want to set the price below market value to bring in multiple offers and drive the price up.”

FOR SELLERS: “Realize now that almost 90 percent of the houses are found by a buyer, at some point, on the internet. You don’t need to just sit back and wait for your agent to sell the home. If you have the right amount of video and pictures, you should go online and share on Facebook that your home’s for sale.”

Kentucky Select Properties
Lenihan Sotheby’s International Realty
FOR BUYERS: “Get a very good realtor, so you’ll know what the new listings are right away. And get pre-approved for your loan, talk to a mortgage person, so you’re in place to buy when something comes up that you like.”
FOR BUYERS: “I think the key to that is to really spend enough time with your realtor to determine what it is that you’re really looking for…Once you get to know what it is that you’re looking for, and your realtor is on top of it, then she or he is going to be able to send you property that really fits your needs, and you’re not going to be spinning your wheels and wasting your time.”
FOR SELLERS: “You need to clean it up as much as possible to fix any obvious defects. And I’ve had some real good luck with stagers lately, staging properties. And what they usually do is get rid of clutter and make it neat. And they suggest painting. I always suggest washing windows, and then getting a real good realtor to take care of the sale for you…we’re getting into a seller’s market. And the spring is coming, and that’s wonderful. So it’s a great time to sell.
FOR SELLERS: “You want to price it in the market, not above it… right now the market’s really pretty hot. We see a positive trend going on right now in the market. And I think the people who price their home according to what the market will bear are currently getting sometimes multiple bids in different price ranges, so that they end up with sometimes 100 percent of their asking price, or even a bit over that. So you want to be careful not to be overpriced in this market.”

News Churchill Downs’ Taste of Derby is presented by Stella Artois
Wonderful Taste of Derby BENEFITING DARE TO CARE
T
By REMY SISK, Contributing Writer
he Sixth Annual Taste of Derby presented by Stella Artois boasts a luxurious evening for attendees. Treated to some of the finest cuisine from across the nation and a meticulously selected collection of wines and beers, guests will attend the event April 30, the Thursday preceding Derby, in the North Wing of the Kentucky Exposition Center. To give a higher purpose to the event, a portion of the proceeds will go toward hunger relief via Louisville’s Dare to Care Food Bank. However, there is a third party that also benefits from Taste of Derby: the culinary students of Sullivan University. Involved since 2010, Sullivan University makes an unparalleled contribution to the event. Because Taste of Derby features chefs from around the country coming together in Louisville to prepare food for, this year, upward of 2,000 people, the event requires enough kitchen space and competent assistants for such preparation. Accordingly, all food for Taste of Derby is prepared on Sullivan University’s campus with the help of its students. “They can’t do this event without Sullivan,” insists Sullivan’s Culinary Arts department chair Chef Allen Akmon. “Number one because we provide all the student volunteers, and number two because they need our kitchens and our facilities to facilitate the prep of the food.” As the chefs convene to make the food at Sullivan the Wednesday before Taste of Derby, a group of students is assigned to them and assist the chefs in preparing the massive amount of food needed for the event, an aspect even the chefs themselves enjoy. As Akmon reveals, “the chefs absolutely love [working with students]… Most chefs really grow up with that sort of mentality because someone taught them.” Throughout this monumentally educational process, the students get the rare opportunity to observe the technique and skill of nation-
ally renowned chefs. The preparation time also consists of mini presentations, featuring the specialties of certain chefs. For example, last year, Chef Patrick McMurray, who holds the world record for most oysters shucked in one minute, provided a lesson for the students on oyster types, technique, flavor profile and other in-depth material. “They don’t come here just to prep,” Akmon expresses. “They also come in ready to share their expertise with the next generation.” Following the preparation period, the students accompany the chefs to the event, standing at their side at the chef ’s station. Akmon is exceptionally proud of Sullivan’s involvement and is genuinely glad his students are able to have such an incredible experience. “Those opportunities to stand next to and work with some famous chefs are very limited and few and far between,” he contends. “So I really feel like the students get an experience from this that will stick with them, likely for the rest of their lives.” In addition to culinary experience, Taste of Derby also provides unique scholarship opportunities for the students. There is a written application process via the Taste of Derby Scholarship Fund awarded to two students, but the more exciting opportunity is the Creekstone Farms Chef Showdown. Three students, who are selected in the preceding weeks, have twenty minutes onstage at the event to prepare a dish using a particular cut of meat from Creekstone Farms. The winner is selected by a panel of celebrity judges and receives $5,000 toward their education. Whitney Fontaine, last year’s winner, was just in her fifth week of culinary school when she won with her seared beef atop a blue gouda grit cake with a bourbon caramelized bacon jam and sriracha gastrique. Even a year later, Fontaine remains in awe of her win and is tremendously grateful for the opportunity offered by Sullivan and Taste of Derby. “Here’s one event every year where you’ve got chefs who are getting James Beard nominations, who are doing very different things than maybe what we’re doing in Louisville,” she describes eagerly. “And they’re all coming to Louisville where the students get to work side by side with them and

have that experience and make those contacts. It’s a really great networking opportunity, and it’s a really great learning opportunity.” In addition to the knowledge and connections students gain from working with these chefs, they also experience the possibilities of philanthropy within the culinary world. Because the event donates a portion of its proceeds to hunger relief, Akmon believes it is a prime opportunity to encourage the students to use their impending culinary degree to help the community. He relates that the best moment of the night is when the students gather for a photo around the truck set to take all left over food from the evening to the Dare to Care Food Bank. “Hopefully we can instill a mentality of giving back in the students with this event,” he ponders. With all the exciting facets to the event, it’s hard for Akmon not to be enthused: “It’s a busy day, and our students get right in there and work side by side with some of the top chefs in the nation,” he exudes giddily. However, the event is certainly more than that as it provides a setting for education, scholarship, fundraising and, ultimately, creates an experience these students will never forget. VT W W W .

Of Making A Difference
o many Louisvillians, the National Council of Jewish Women is intrinsically linked to the Nearly New Shop at the bottom of Mid-City Mall. It’s there that fashion conscious residents are able to get great finds, while proceeds go directly to the NCJW. But the organization is so much more than the Nearly New Store.
It was the same experience for past president Carolyn Neustadt who found the power that volunteers could wield behind a common cause. When the juvenile detention center was going to be placed underneath the jail downtown, “we went berserk, let me tell you!” Staff Writer recalls Neustadt. “The newspaper said, ‘A group of women have gone IGOR out on a limb to do this.’ And we GURYASHKIN got so angry that was the end of it. We got help from out of town even on how to stop that project and that’s where the interest in juvenile justice really came from.” For 120 years Louisville’s chapter of the But the NCJW’s record of making positive National Council of Jewish Women has been changes in Louisville goes even further back in spending every spare moment trying to bring time.

To understand their fury, one must first understand that no one is more certain of their moral superiority than the left. This is true the world over, and among Jews it is particularly so. For the leaders of the American Jewish religious left (Reform, Reconstructionist, and now Conservative Judaism) Jews who are politically or socially conservative are a disgrace to Judaism, which, for left-wing Jews, is essentially the same as leftism. Both religious and secular Jews on the left regard Jewish conservatives as moral traitors to the Jewish people. But certitude of their moral superiority is not the only reason American Jews on the left went ballistic last week. There are deeper, psychological, reasons. Left-wing Jews live, work and socialize with leftwing non-Jews, and they believe that they are -- to their great regret -- identified with the Jewish state in the eyes of fellow leftists. Now, when Israel has left-wing governments -- as it did in its first few decades and periodically after that -- being identified with Israel is not problematic. But with Israel’s Jews repeatedly electing conservative governments, American Jews on the left believe that they must make it as clear as possible that they in no way support a right-wing Israel. Their moral self-esteem needs it and their left-wing credentials need it. Just look at how Harvard Law Professor Alan Dershowitz, a lifelong Democratic activist and fervent liberal, has been ostracized from polite left-wing company solely because he is an outspoken defender of Israel. As American Jews on the left see it, their moral credibility in the eyes of fellow leftists in the news media, Hollywood, and academia is threatened by Israel. They must therefore make it abundantly clear that a) they not only do not support the rightwing government of Israel; they do not even support Israel at this time; b) they regard Benjamin Netanyahu as a vile human being; and c) they are ashamed -- simply ashamed -- of Israel’s Jews for having voted for a right-winger. Thus, to cite only a few examples: A P R I L 2 , 2 0 1 5 • W W W . V O I C E -T R I B U N E . C O M
“[Read about] the massacres perpetrated by Jews in 1948 to secure their homeland.” These Israeli Jews embarrass me. Don’t consider me one of them: “This [victory] is shameful and embarrassing.” In Israel’s Haaretz last week, left-wing American Jewish writer Peter Beinart actually advocated that America punish Israel and join the international fight against Israel: “[This means] backing Palestinian bids at the United Nations. It means labeling and boycotting settlement goods. It means joining and amplifying nonviolent Palestinian protest in the West Bank. ... It means pushing the Obama administration to present out its own peace plan, and to punish -- yes, punish -- the Israeli government for rejecting it. It means making sure that every time Benjamin Netanyahu and the members of his cabinet walk into a Jewish event outside Israel, they see Diaspora Jews protesting outside.” In The Washington Post, Harold Meyerson, another American Jewish left-wing columnist, joined the hysteria with these calumnies against Netanyahu (and the equally reviled Republicans): “At the rate he was going, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu might have called for stripping Israeli Arabs of the right to vote altogether.” “Bibi [is] henceforth the Jewish George Wallace.” “Perhaps Likud

and the Republicans can open an Institute for the Prevention of Dark-Skinned People Voting.” Of course, as Charles Krauthammer, an American Jewish conservative, wrote last week, “There would be no peace and no Palestinian state if Isaac Herzog were prime minister either. Or Ehud Barak or Ehud Olmert for that matter. The latter two were (non-Likud) prime ministers who offered the Palestinians their own state -- with its capital in Jerusalem and every Israeli settlement in the new Palestine uprooted -- only to be rudely rejected. “This is not ancient history. This is 2000, 2001 and 2008 -- three astonishingly concessionary peace offers within the past 15 years. Every one rejected.” But none of that matters to the left. The left lives in John Lennon’s song “Imagine.” Thus, the left imagines that if Israel completely withdrew from the West Bank and allowed a Palestinian state to be created now, it would be completely unlike Gaza and completely unlike Syria, Lebanon, Iraq, Iran and Libya; it would be a peaceful Arab Muslim island in the midst of the cruel sea of Arab Muslim countries that surrounds it. But what if they were wrong and rockets then rained down on Israel? The Kleins and the Beinarts and the Meyersons wouldn’t retract a word. As I wrote some 30 years ago: “Being on the left means never having to say you’re sorry.” Anyway, only those bigoted Israelis would pay the price.

COUNTRY MUSIC STAR SARA EVANS TO HEADLINE FILLIES & LILIES PARTY AT DERBY MUSEUM MAY 1
weekend’s fourth and final pool of Churchill Downs Racetrack’s (“CDRT”) 2015 Kentucky Derby Future Wager (“KDFW”).
Multi platinum-selling recording artist Sara Evans, one of the most compelling vocalists in country music today, will be the headline performer for the second annual Fillies & Lilies Party at Churchill Downs on Kentucky Derby Eve.
Zayat Stables LLC’s homebred American Pharoah, a dazzling winner over a sloppy track in his 2015 debut in the Grade II Rebel Stakes at Oaklawn Park, has been installed as the 9-2 morning line favorite by Churchill Downs handicapper Mike Battaglia in the last of four three-day KDFW pools. But Kaleem Shah Inc.’s unbeaten Dortmund, who scored his fifth consecutive victory in a front-running romp in Santa Anita’s San Felipe (GII), is very close behind his stablemate at 5-1.
The only Derby Week major social event held on the grounds at Churchill Downs, the Fillies & Lilies Party is set for Friday, May 1, at the historic Kentucky Derby Museum, amidst the memorabilia, exhibits and displays heralding the history and tradition of America’s oldest continuously-held sporting event. Sara Evans is enjoying a prolific recording career with the recent release of her critically acclaimed seventh studio album Slow Me Down, which debuted at No. 2 on the Billboard Top Country Albums Chart and was named by Billboard Magazine as one of the 10 best Country albums of 2014. The Fillies & Lilies Party starts at 7:30 p.m. just after the running of The Kentucky Oaks for fillies and the Friday racing card at Churchill Downs. BAFFERT’S AMERICAN PHAROAH, DORTMUND ARE TOP BETTING CHOICES HEADING INTO FINAL 2015 KENTUCKY DERBY FUTURE WAGER POOL The powerful hand held by Hall of Fame Thoroughbred trainer Bob Baffert heading into this year’s 141st running of the Kentucky Derby Presented by Yum! Brands (Grade I) is evident in the fact the two young stars from his stable – reigning 2014 2-year-old champion American Pharoah (#1) and unbeaten Dortmund (#7) – are the expected to be the top betting choices heading into this
Wagering in the three-day Kentucky Derby Future Wager finale opens at noon (all times Eastern) on Friday, March 27 and is set to conclude on Sunday, March 29 at 6 p.m. Betting will be available at Churchill Downs and other racetracks and off-track betting and satellite wagering facilities across North America. Wagering also is available at TwinSpires.com, the official online wagering platform of Churchill Downs and the Kentucky Derby, and other online wagering outlets. OLD FORESTER RELEASES READY-TO-SERVE MINT JULEP Old Forester Mint Julep, a 60-proof ready-to-serve cocktail made with Old Forester Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whisky, will be available for sale in select stores as of late-March. In addition to stores, Churchill Downs® will serve Old Forester Mint Julep, recently named “The Official Drink of the Kentucky Derby®,” during the 141st Kentucky Derby®. Old Forester Mint Julep is sold in a commemorative 1L Kentucky Derby bottle with a horse-themed neck wrap for a suggested retail price of $24.99 which will vary by location.

Churchill Downs expects to sell 120,000 mint juleps over the two-day period of Kentucky Oaks and Kentucky Derby. While Old Forester was introduced in 1870 and the Kentucky Derby in 1875, the 141st Kentucky Derby marks the first time the two long-standing Louisville traditions have come together officially. In addition to stores in Kentucky, Old Forester Mint Julep will be sold in 35 markets across the U.S. FREE MASSAGES AT UPCOMING BEAUTY EXPO Everyone attending the Louisville Beauty, Health, and Wellness Expo will get a free massage by visiting the HealthSource Chiropractic, Progressive Rehab and Wellness booth April 4.

In a 92-75 victory over Minnesota State Moorhead in the NCAA DII Elite Eight, Bellarmine’s senior guard Chris Whitehead totaled 18 points, five assists and a steal.
Another Stellar Year for the Knights Bellarmine had an amazing season, making it to the Final Four of Division II NCAA basketball. Though, it’s not the season finish Bellarmine fans were hoping for after the Knights fell to Florida Southern Thursday night in Evansville. In that Final Four game, they had to overcome a slow start, trailing by as many as 18 points, but the Knights later rallied and were down by just four at halftime. But Florida Southern would prevail with a final score of 79 to 76. PHOTO COURTESY OF JUSTIN PYLES

A Harrison Family Affair
A Harrison did it again. In 2014, it was Aaron Harrison who hit game winners in the NCAA tournament against Louisville, Michigan and Wisconsin. Aaron hit another big three-pointer in the Cats 68-66 win over Notre Dame in the Midwest Region final, but it was his twin brother who hit the biggest shots. Andrew sank two free throws with six seconds left to provide the winning margin. It was like deja vu for their parents, crashing the court after an Elite Eight win to hug the hero of the game, their son. I talked with Aaron, Sr., Marian and Aaron and Andrew about the emotions and the tension of the last-second drama. The 38-0 Cats take on Wisconsin at 8:49 p.m. on Saturday, in Indianapolis, in the Final Four. How fulfilling is it to get to the Final Four two years in a row, and to watch each of your sons provide the game-winners? Marian Harrison: That was amazing, a true blessing. It was very tense, an anxious type of game. What are the nerves like when Andrew goes to the line with six seconds left?
Taylor’s 10 KENT TAYLOR
Last season it was more of a surprise. This year it was expected. Was there more pressure? Marian: They got to start in the summer and build the team unity, and they just have a good team, good teammates, good communication, a good coach. They pulled it off. Does it make the decision to come back all worthwhile?

feated. It’s just: we got another game, who do we have? The kids are in their own little world.
Aaron Harrison, Sr.: Incredible, I don't even know what, it's just incredible. What else can you say?
How would you describe your emotions when you step to the line with six seconds left in a tie game?
What were your nerves like as Andrew stepped to the line?
Andrew: You have to block out everything. I don't even know what I was thinking. You just have to block out everything and try to make the shot.

Marian: Oh my God! You can't sit still. I was panicking, praying, just do it, get it over with.
Marian: Yes it did, yes it did.
Two years, two shots, each son with a game-winner, is that even beyond your wildest dreams?
Aaron, Sr.: I was pretty calm. He usually concentrates and focuses when the game is on the line. I was pretty confident. How about Aaron's three that gave them a one point lead? Aaron, Sr.: Dakari Johnson's mom was sitting behind me. She said, I expected it. It went in. I was overwhelmed.
When your brother went to the line, were you nervous? Aaron, Jr.: Of course, you've got to be nervous. This is big time basketball; win or go home. I think everyone had a little nerves, but you have to show up in big moments. VT
After the long decision making process to come back this year, does this make it all seem like the right call? Aaron, Sr.: Oh absolutely. If you've been around the team or seen them at practice, they don't even concentrate on being unde-

Last week’s triumphs by new faces Mubtaahij in the $2 million UAE Derby at Dubai’s Meydan Race Course, and unbeaten Materiality in the $1 million Florida Derby at Gulfstream Park, introduced two fresh faces to an already intriguing Derby scene. In New Orleans, Ken and Sarah Ramsey’s New York-bred International Star proved again that he is Louisiana’s best Kentucky Derby hope, with a Louisiana Derby win that completed a sweep of Fair Grounds’ trio of preps for the big race in Louisville. But the coming Saturday, April 4, should provide even more sizzle as the weekend includes a delicious double at Keeneland in the 2015 renews of the Toyota Blue Grass Stakes for Derby hopefuls and the Ashland Stakes, a huge prep for 3-year-old fillies pointing toward the Longines Kentucky Oaks. Also set for Saturday is the Santa Anita Derby, which will offer the final pre-Derby performance by unbeaten Dortmund, the Bob Baffert-trained colt who was the close second choice to stablemate American Pharoah in last week’s final pool of the 2015 Kentucky Derby Future Wager. New York’s Aqueduct will host a third major prep Saturday the Wood Memorial, a traditionally strong indicator of Derby success
The pre-race spotlight in the Toyota Blue Grass will shine on Carpe Diem, who won the Claiborne Breeders’ Futurity over the same surface a year ago and returned to competition this year with an easy victory in the Tampa Bay Derby at Florida’s Tampa Bay Downs.
But the key word in any discussion of the Blue Grass, which has served as a prep for 23 Derby winners and 11 horses that have won both races, is “surface.” With last fall’s return to actual dirt in Lexington, following eight years of racing over a synthetic Polytrack surface, the Blue Grass reclaims its status as a key prep for the Run for the Roses. During the Polytrack years, the Blue Grass preserved its status as a Grade I race, but it could not be viewed as a prep of consequence for the Derby.

WinStar Farm and Stonestreet Stables Carpe Diem, shown winning last fall's Claiborne Breeders Futurity at Keeneland, will be favored in Saturday's Toyota Blue Grass at the Lexington track.
Speed (7th), Dullahan (3rd), Java’s War (13th) and Dance with Fate (6th). The most notable post-Blue Grass efforts by those horses were General Quarters’ win in Churchill Downs’ Woodford Reserve Turf Classic and Dullahan’s third in the Derby and victory over Polytrack in Del Mar’s Pacific Classic.
But Street Sense did not care for the synthetic footing at Keeneland and was beaten by longshot Dominican, who would finish 11th in their Derby rematch. and trailed the winner by 17 lengths. He failed to win in eight post-Blue Grass races.
It is very safe to say that Carpe Diem, who has occupied the top spot on my Kentucky Derby rankings at www.KentuckyDerby.com and was the fourth choice in last week’s final Derby Futures pool, would not be running in the Blue Grass if the Polytrack was still in place in Lexington. His only loss in four races came in a runner-up finish in last fall’s Breeders’ Cup Juvenile at Santa Anita, and it’s sure that trainer Todd Pletcher would have sent his best hope in a very strong hand of Derby hopefuls somewhere else for his final Derby prep.
The Toyota Blue Grass on Polytrack offered horses that preferred grass or synthetic footing a puncher’s chance to claim a spot the Derby starting gate. Dominican’s triumph over Street Sense was followed in succession by Blue Grass victories by Monba (20th in the Derby), General Quarters (10th), Stately Victor (8th), Brilliant
So welcome back, Toyota Blue Grass Stakes! One of the great rites of spring in our Commonwealth of Kentucky has remained a great party, but the main event is again a race of substance. Its winner will likely have something to say about what happens at Churchill Downs on the first Saturday in May. VT
One Kentucky Derby winner did emerge from the race during those years. Street Sense finished second at Keeneland in 2007 and returned to take the Derby three weeks later.
Materiality with John Velazquez won the 68th running of The Besilu Stables Florida Derby for trainer Todd Pletcher and owner Alto Racing.

"If we "I was praying on the bench, man," he said. can get it tied again "I was praying. I don't know. I'm just happy there's no doubt in my we won. They're a great team. They really mind that we win it." outplayed us in some aspects of the game." Kentucky was too poised, too confident, too good down the stretch for it to be any other way, right?
Through three-quarters of the game, that was certainly the case.
Coach Cal set the tone for that.
Notre Dame held a six-point lead with less than six minutes to go. The Fighting Irish were the aggressors and the unbeaten season was very much in peril. For really the first time all year, UK seemed on its heels.
"My mind is never on we may lose," Calipari said. "My whole mindset all the time is how are we going to win, how do we win this game. That's all I keep saying to myself, how do we win the game. I want them to know we're not playing not to lose; we play to win."
"I said you're playing too cool," John Calipari said, recalling his halftime message. "It's hard to be loose when the other team is playing harder than you." Perhaps even more than its waves of depth and mountain of talent, this Kentucky team has been remarkable for its ability to stay in the moment. Whether the Cats have faced a non-conference home game, a Southeastern Conference road contest or a win-or-gohome NCAA Tournament match-up, they've been focused solely on the task at hand. For 34 minutes, that changed. "I don't know about tight," Aaron Harrison said, "but maybe I think we were looking ahead a little bit because we just want to win it all so bad, and maybe we just weren't focused on today as much we should have been." And all of a sudden, the Cats had their backs against a wall. "When we was down, and it felt like all the momentum was their way, and you feel this pressure," Willie Cauley-Stein said. "You're making mistakes, and Coach is yelling at you, and you look up, and there's seven minA P R I L 2 , 2 0 1 5 • W W W . V O I C E -T R I B U N E . C O M
we gotta play like that the entire game. We always, at the end of games, say we need five stops, five stops, but this game it didn't work out like that. They kept making buckets, and we just had to make plays on the other end." The Cats did, and now they'll dance into a Final Four showdown with Wisconsin next Saturday in Indianapolis. "They did enough, and they wanted to win, they do have a will to win, and I know that," Calipari said. "I know that, I've coached them, I know they'll make plays. It's just a matter of keeping the game close enough so they can." VT
Following their coach's lead, the Cats unleashed a 15-7 run to close the game. They overcame the best per-possession offensive output by an opponent of the season by making their final nine shots and scoring 24 points on their final 13 trips. "When it's time to win we really want to win. We can do it when we want to," said Tyler Ulis, who drilled a huge 3 when UK trailed by six. "We gotta be ready,

It all just seems sort of wrong. of that sounds appealing just yet. I want more basketball...or at least Louisville was a made free-throw or two away from advancing to the Final Four, a fact something that strikes my emotions which is borderline unbelievable when you conthe way the last few weeks have. Instead, for the first time in months there's no longer a game to look forward to, and the readjustment to that life which you can hardly remember is, for lack of a better word, awkward. It's time for everyone to re-discover who they are without UofL hoops, a process which always includes an odd mixture of sadness, relief and confusion. The strangest aspect of this time of the year is how quickly things move. I mean, just think about how long ago the ACC Tournament seems right now.

sider their offensive limitations and the Chris Jones saga that rocked the team in late February. Despite both of those things, Rick Pitino had his team in a position where it was just one more made shot away from playing in a national semifinal. As painful as that is to stomach right now, it's also important to remember that there are 351 teams in Division-I, and only four fan bases have been able to celebrate the 201415 season longer than Cardinal fans were able to. That's not bad. Perhaps the biggest bit of solace Louisville fans can take from this time and this feeling is the fact that the only way a loss like last Sun-

day's could possibly hurt so much is for the team doing the losing to have been so overwhelmingly enjoyable. An overtime loss in the Elite Eight would be tough to stomach in any of the 101 years Louisville has played basketball, but the fact that it ranks so high on the scale of soul-crushing Cardinal losses is a testament to the character and the work ethic of our guys, in particular the departing trio of Wayne Blackshear, Montrezl Harrell and Terry Rozier. For each day that Blackshear, Harrell and Rozier have worn the red and black, Cardinal fans have never had to question the side they support or fake any enthusiasm. It's the same reason why I'm not sure it's possible for a fan base to experience more joy than we did 24 months ago. Runs like the one we just experienced are far too convoluted for a single post-week emotion to dominate all others. There's a reason why time and perspective are best friends while perspective and the present have a much more complicated relationship. Eventually, I think, we'll all be able to look back at this March's journey and recognize it in the proper light. It hurts now, only because it was so great then. As green takes over the city, Derby Day arrives and the countdown to year two of ACC football begins, that fact will only become more apparent and things will only become easier to digest. VT W W W .

Louisville coaches celebrated after a shot by Terry Rozier went in after he was fouled.
Cardinals Become Elite The University of Louisville Cardinals trumped the North Carolina State University Wolfpack with a score of 75-65 in the Sweet Sixteen in Syracuse, New York. Leading scorer with 24 points, Montrezl Harrell matched his career high of four assists in the first half. The junior forward helped the Cards work together to keep the ball moving and wear out NC State. The score went back and forth with a one point lead difference in the second half. After his fourth foul, senior Wayne Blackshear was benched but later returned in what would have been his last game had Louisville been defeated. Sophomore guard Anton Gill replaced him with eight minutes remaining in the game. The Cards were trailing the Wolfpack by one point when Gill picked up the pace with a successful jump shot, later followed by a three pointer. Gill had not scored since the game against Florida State University on Feb. 28. This is the sixth season that Pitino has led the Cardinals to the Elite Eight. He is now in second place for the most regional finals ever made, only behind Duke coach Mike Krzyzewski.
Wayne Blackshear scored 10 points and had four fouls.
Montrezl Harrell and Mangok Mathiang celebrated a made basket after a foul.
Quentin Snider had 14 points, three rebounds and three assists against the Wolfpack.
Terry Rozier and Mangok Mathiang went up for a rebound against NC State’s Lennard Freeman. Terry Rozier ended the game with 17 points, 14 rebounds and four assists.

The Best is Yet to Come
TONY VANETTI: Well, one Mangok free throw away from the Cardinals crashing your Cat party in Indianapolis.
MATT JONES: It goes to show that luck doesn’t always win out for a team. I wasn’t amazed that they had the chance, as I picked them to go the Final Four, but they were very fortunate, as they could have lost the first round, Mangok with his first free-throw defied the laws of physics to go in. But luckily he missed the second and Michigan State won. VANETTI: Well, the night before a couple of
free-throws won you guys the game. I particularly enjoyed the look of depression with four minutes to go, and you’re only down just a couple of points, and yes you did come back and win, but boy your fan base did look like they were wondering, ‘How is this even possible? We can’t lose before the Final Four!’
they haven't lost one. That is impressive.
VANETTI: Yes, and it was impressive after the game when Karl-Anthony Towns was very gracious and giving his coach some pointers on how to be like that after a game. JONES: Oh stop it! That’s the most ridiculous story of all time. What do people want him to say? He did not think his team played well. What is wrong with saying that? Notre Dame played well, and we played badly. Why is that rude? I don’t get that. People just look for something to criticize about Calipari. VANETTI: Well, when you’re here to complain that you’re the most scrutinized basketball program in the country, we’re here to make sure you earn it. I think most of the Louisville fans were
JONES: Oh, it’s great. In terms of Elite Eight games, it’s one of the best of all time. But getting back to Louisville for a second, they were right there, got back in it. Do you get the feeling, and I’m not talking trash here, that it’s kind of the end of an era now that Blackshear, Harrell and Rozier are gone? I know that Pitino said that last
“When you lose an overtime game the way we lost it, when we’re one possession away from winning, it’s pretty tough. It just hurts. Looking around the locker room, just seeing the guys down ... our season is over. Just got to go on.” – Montrezl Harrell
JONES: You just epitomized what it has been like to be a UofL fan this year. You can’t say anything about what’s going on, on the court and you actually get joy out of almost losses. I will remind you that Kentucky is still 38-0 going into the Final Four. VANETTI: Yes, they are but we can get a little joy out of the almost puckering of the UK fans on Saturday night. JONES: But you know Tony, that’s been one of the things that’s been amazing about this group, because they’ve had five or six games where they reasonably could have lost; against Ole Miss, Texas A&M, LSU, Georgia and now Notre Dame. In all five of those games it came down to the last minute or two and they’ve won all of them. You really have to give them credit for that. With a minute to go, if it’s a one point game, and it’s kind of a toss up, but Kentucky have now had five of those games and A P R I L 2 , 2 0 1 5 • W W W . V O I C E -T R I B U N E . C O M
impressed on how you finished that game, I will agree with that. When it came down to the nuts and bolts of it, Aaron Harrison came down again with some big free throws and Notre Dame with a dumb play at the end of the game, where the guy went into the corner and you guys were just waiting for him. It was a great game that has to go down as one of the most exciting NCAA games even though you guys have had a lot of those lately.

“Kentucky-Duke would be like Darth Vader playing against Lex Luther!...If Kentucky goes undefeated... you have to say it’s one of the best seasons in the history of college basketball.” – Matt Jones year, but I feel like it’s more the case this year – this sort of glory era for the Cardinals is ending. VANETTI: Well it looks like that from the outside looking in but, if you’re a Louisville fan, Pitino pieces teams together sort of every year. He has kids leave. Let’s look at Wayne Blackshear’s class. You had Chane Behanan, Kevin Ware, Zack Price and Angel Nunez and Wayne was the only one to make it to senior year. JONES: Yeah, but there is a difference though. Louisville for the past few years have had two or three guys each year you knew were good. Take this year, Chris Jones, Harrell and Rozier were good. Now, Jones didn’t make into the end of the year, but you had the solid pieces. I look at that team next year and I don’t see anybody that’s certainly good. I think you’re best player is probably Quentin Snider, who halfway through the year was not even playing. I hope Louisville is bad, but I have to tell you this isn’t just me talking trash, I just don’t see how they will be good next year. VANETTI: Well, again. I think they will struggle next year, and I think it’s going to be one of those coaching years where Rick is going to have to dumb down the schedule and the first 15 opponents are going to have to be very winnable games in order to stack the win column for a while. They certainly won’t be ranked in the top-
20 or top-25 for the season. You’re right, they don’t have a solid base because outside of Mangok and Snider they don’t have that much in terms of coverage. Louisville is most likely going to struggle in the ACC.. JONES: Well, let’s talk about the teams that are still playing – the Wildcats. Wisconsin, I’ve said all season, will be their toughest matchup and I think they are the one team who could beat them. Wisconsin to me, and maybe Duke were the only teams who could do that. How do you see that game going? VANETTI: Well, everyone has been complaining about Kentucky’s schedule, and how they didn’t play so and so after a certain date but they are going to make you earn it. I agree with you. To me it was a coin flip between Arizona and Wisconsin and maybe I’m wrong about that. To me, I thought the worst matchup for Kentucky was Arizona as they are more athletic, but they are going to make you beat them. It’s going to be a big matchup. JONES: If Kentucky plays Duke – is that the biggest game in college basketball in the last 25 years? An undefeated Kentucky versus Duke. VANETTI: It’s certainly tight. JONES: I think you have to go back to UNLVDuke and look at all those storylines. You have

the two most famous coaches in college basketball in Calipari and Coach K. You’ve got the likely number one and number two picks in the draft. You have an undefeated team, going for 40-0 against probably the program that’s been the best in the last 30 years. I’m not sure you can get a bigger game can you? VANETTI: That’s why you tend to think someone is going to screw it up! I’ve got to tell you though. As a college basketball fan, that is a match-up I want to see. Besides the Louisville-Michigan actual game, which was so fun to watch, whichever side you were on, the national title game has been a let down, even with Kentucky winning it against Kansas. They started the year beating them by 10 and ended the year beating them by 10. There was no real drama, and I think college basketball needs this game. Let’s be honest, y’all are very popular, but you are also the two programs that everyone loves to hate! JONES: It would be like Darth Vader playing against Lex Luther! I love it though. If Kentucky goes undefeated they will have played the best conference champ in Notre Dame, they will have played a two-time Final Four team in Wisconsin and they will have played Duke. If you beat those teams and go 40-0 you have to say it’s one of the handful of best seasons in the history of college basketball. VT W W W . V O I C E -T R I B U N E . C O M • A P R I L 2 , 2 0 1 5

Today the fort still dominates the entrance to the old harbor. After ten minutes on land away from our air-conditioned “cocoon,” the 95 degree heat had us yearning for a shower.

Dear Abby
Want to know something weird about alligators? Their natural odor smells a lot like perfume. When my beau gets back from a tournament, he often reeks of it. The first time I smelled it on him, I was worried. But after he explained it to me, it made perfect sense. (Just another one of life’s coincidences, I guess.) We’re so happy together. We have four beautiful children, and he promises we’ll get married soon -- right after the next tournament. I know you get lots of letters about bad relationships, so I thought I’d let you hear about a good one. -- GATOR GIRL IN FLORIDA DEAR GATOR GIRL: That’s a good one, all right. You may have thought you smelled perfume, but I smell a rat. Be glad your boyfriend doesn’t wrestle cougars because I hear they wear indelible lipstick. DEAR ABBY: A teacher at our high school took some time off to get a breast augmentation. Before she left, she told the class she was having her tonsils out. When she returned to the classroom with a larger chest, one of the students cracked, “Nice tonsils!” Of course, the class roared. What do you think about this? -- GEORGE IN SOUTH CAROLINA DEAR GEORGE: I think that unless her students pay more attention to what she’s teaching and less to her chest, they may be earning double D’s. ••• And now ... back to work: DEAR ABBY: When does an extramarital affair actually start? Is it when the two parties involved do the mattress mambo, their first kiss, or is it sooner? -- CLUELESS WIFE IN CANADA DEAR CLUELESS: A love affair involves more
DEAR WONDERING: In my opinion, you and your ex-husband should stop arguing because after your divorce became final, the question became moot. ••• DEAR ABBY: We have a daughter with severe developmental disabilities. Thankfully, she receives 40-plus hours of in-home therapy a week, which is covered by insurance. Her first therapist arrives at 7:30 a.m. and leaves at 11:30 a.m. Some days, she will pick up something to eat on the way. Most days, I suspect she hasn’t eaten breakfast. About once a week she’ll call out for me, asking for a snack -- usually a breakfast sandwich -- which I make for her. Last week, she asked for some chocolate-covered nuts I had offered her once. I told her we had eaten them. I finally put out a bowl of old hard candy to stop her from asking. She has been eating it for a while now and joking that I’m making her gain weight. Must I continue providing her snacks or say something about her bringing her own? I am grateful for the work she does for our daughter and hope I’m not sounding petty. -- UNSURE IN KANSAS DEAR UNSURE: You should not be responsible for feeding your daughter’s therapist. Have a talk with the therapist and suggest that if she’s “out of fuel” at the end of your daughter’s session that she bring some individually wrapped cheese sticks or fruit with her. It would be a lot healthier than what you’re giving her and probably better for her. Dear Abby is written by Abigail Van Buren, also known as Jeanne Phillips, and was founded by her mother, Pauline Phillips. Contact Dear Abby at www.DearAbby.com or P.O. Box 69440, Los Angeles, CA 90069.

IT UP
It feels like just yesterday that we were trapped in our driveways by mounds of snow, but luckily spring break is here, and some of us are heading somewhere tropical. The much-needed break for students can be ridiculously exciting. So, when it comes to packing for spring break it’s easy to get carried away with packing too much. It goes without saying that purchasing a few new items for your trip is essential. Understandably, a new bikini or colorful pair of swim trunks is at the top of everyone’s must-have list. You certainly, don’t want to forget the sunscreen and sunglasses while lounging in the sun.

Life by IGOR GURYASHKIN, Staff Writer photos by CHRIS HUMPHREYS | The Voice-Tribune
a
too far All of us have something in our lives we stare at and know deep down in the dark recesses of our minds that it’s going to beat us. It will totally destroy us everytime and yet we still go for it. It’s called hubris. Captain Ahab had Moby Dick, and two weeks ago yours truly, along with three other buccaneers decided to take on the “The Massive Gibbon” – a pizza that resides at DiOrio’s and devours grown men and women with abandon each and every time. A bit of context – “The Massive Gibbon” is a pizza that is 30 inches wide, weighs the same amount as a medium-sized dog, or two babies (15 pounds if you prefer “real” measurements) and is topped with pepperoni, Italian sausage, spicy sausage, ham, meatballs, bacon, chicken and salami. It needs it’s own zip code. It’s designed to feed 10-15 people, a jovial office party perhaps – not four slim guys. And ever since DiOrio’s opened its two locations, in St. Matthews and Baxter Avenue, no one has conquered the Massive Gibbon of the 100 teams that have tried. For the legends and Greek gods who succeed, their name is etched into a plaque to be affixed on a wall at the DiOrio’s location at which this Herculean triumph is accomplished, along with a free t-shirt, and a $100 gift voucher to DiOrios. But the real prize is in knowing that you succeeded at something awesome, that is either: utter triumphant, or a demeaning display of farm-like behavior reserved for four people. The challenge started off easily enough. Having trained for a few days by filling our bellies with easily digestible food, and a lot of water – the pizza challenge only truly takes off when the pizza is brought out, allowed to cool and then attacked with the intensity of a pack of dogs. To my everlasting pride (and a little shame) I devoured the first slice in record time – the equivalent of one pizza the size of your face, in a matter of minutes with a whole lot of time left for another slice.

The good news was that they say it takes 20 minutes for your stomach to realize that it’s full. The bad news was this was simply not true when so much pizza is involved. It’s very hard to eat more when one of your teammates looks visibly upset, while another is making the kind of noises only reserved for injured animals. But still, I pushed on, shedding a tear and disbelief along the way at how much remained. By the time you get to the final few bites, you truly understand what “The Wall” is, because you hit it hard. It’s at this point that sweat and pain start consuming your entire body. You feel like a goose being force-fed to produce foie gras, except you’re the one doing the forcing. When you valiantly stab the

remainder of the pizza onto a fork and try to slot it into your reluctant mouth you get the shakes. The thought of consuming one more sliver of cold protein and dairy fills you with dread. In fact, the dread is more filling than the pizza itself. In the end, I got close. Real close. I was two bites away. Two bites might seem like an easy finish, but it wasn’t. My teammates shared the failure, as my colleague Chris had a few good mouthfuls remaining of his second slice, while the other two participants, Matt and Jeremy fared a little worse, with Matt complaining of jaw fatigue, while Jeremy was just not up for the race. DiOrio’s pizza challenge is not for the faint-hearted. If you’re someone who thinks he eats a lot, take the largest amount you have
E M CO CK BAN IN
ever eaten before in your life, and then double it. You may do it, but all four team members at the same time? Unlikely. DiOrios makes one of the best pizzas in town. Indeed, they’ve got one of, if not THE best thin New York-style crusts in Louisville and it has never been a disappointment. The only disappointment is that just like the 100 other teams who have failed, I, along with my teammates, was not able to muster enough room in my usually cavernous belly to beat the challenge. Perhaps it’s meant to be this way. Perhaps the Gibbon will be everyone’s Moby Dick.

FRIENDLINESS There ain't no party like a St. Patrick party. The vibrant energy of this parish comes into full bloom at their Lenten Frys. You're guaranteed to be welcomed with a smile by the proud volunteers at the register and in the kitchen. Fryars’ Score:
FISH The thick, peppery-battered fried cod headlines the menu at St. Pat's. Healthy Fry Guys were also offered baked fish. The late-comers were limited to white or wheat bread, as the crowd-favorite rye was already gobbled up. A great value at $5.25 per sandwich.
VENUE Nobody matches the efficiency of St. Pat's. Order upon arrival, walk to the concession window for your dinner, turn around for your condiments, then head inside to the spacious Celtic Center for your drinks. Part of the experience the Fry Guys so thoroughly enjoy is the smooth sailing from entry to dinner time!
Fryars’ Score: SIDES/DESSERTS St. Pat's also offers eight large butterfly fried shrimp, in addition to clam chowder and cheese pizza. We highly recommend the creamy mac ‘n’ cheese and baked potato. This is the only Fry we've seen with DQ Blizzards on the dessert menu. Fryars’ Score:

Bennett Duckworth is a film fanatic who lives in Louisville and goes to see a movie in the theater at least once a week. He has kept a movie review blog since September of 2011 with the mission of writing about every new release he sees, as well as new trends in film making and classic films he loves. Read more of his reviews at his website.
Follows” is to horror movies, what “Drive” is to car chase action movies – a pleasant deviation. Sure, it contains a lot of the standard elements – or even clichés associated with the type of movie it is – but when these elements are put through the filtration system of a gifted cinematic mind with the will to take things at a slower pace, the results are more memorable than the clustered fastpaced garbage you might normally expect. Like a lot of horror flicks, it’s about a teenage girl finding herself cursed, as if it is punishment for being sexually desirable. It’s the conditions of this curse and how she is supposed to deal with it that feels original. She will be followed by some mysterious force, which always takes the form of a person slowly approaching, who is invisible to everyone else. It can be outrun or thwarted, but it will not stop returning until it successfully kills you – unless you transfer the curse to someone else. Her sister and friends, concerned for her state of mind, keep the terrified girl company, and it is not long before they believe her situation to be real. Writer/director David Robert Mitchell (“The Myth of the American Sleepover”) has made a film, which knowingly exists in the movie world. It takes place in the present-day, yet it selectively chooses what kind of modern things (clothes, cars, technology) exist in it. The eighties-style synthesizer soundtrack is also worth mentioning. Something about its dated quality makes the atmosphere feel more haunting. What’s most important to note, is that all of it is cleverly enhanced by the setting A P R I L 2 , 2 0 1 5 • W W W .

very spring, Louisville homeowners face the prospect of rising energy costs as the heat begins to increase and air conditioners are operating at full capacity throughout the summer months.

credit counseling service, became aware that people with marginal finances were being tripped up by their ever-higher utility bills. Davis helped forge a partnership between LG&E, Metro Louisville and local volunteers. “The focus was to help people reduce utility bills,” recalls Frank Schwartz, executive director of Project Warm, “through education and field efforts. Volunteers were encouraged to take classes and learn what the various terms meant – like convection, conduction, radiation – and then go out into the community and help seniors make their homes more weatherproof through stripping and caulking, those sorts
Schwartz was a young social worker at the time, trying to figure out what he wanted to do with his life. He volunteered, and eventually became a full-time volunteer coordinator in 1983 LG&E and the city remain important partners, and the organization also gets foundation help. In addition, the upcoming Green Sparks Award event that honors people and organizations doing good work in the areas of sustainability and energy conservation is a fundraiser for Project Warm. But the volunteers continue to be the essential core of the operation, including eight full-time skilled workers who go out on a weekly basis, and a cadre of part-timers, including 90-year-old Norm O’Grady, a retired GE employee who, says Schwartz, goes out all the time except when it’s too cold or “when the temperature exceeds his age.�
“We don’t see our mission so much to fix as to educate. One of our mottoes is ‘We help you so you can help yourself.’ �
As part of that, people are encouraged to attend the organization’s educational workshops, to learn to repair and maintain on their own. In fact, Schwartz says, many of Project Warm’s volunteers initially attended the educational workshops.
While the original focus was on fixed-income seniors, it has spread to include needy low-income families, encompassing children, the other neediest population group. The main arms of the crusade include Project Blitz, helping seniors and the disabled prepare for winter; and workshops on energy-usage that, Schwartz says, attracts a disproportionate number of female heads of households. “That’s too often where poverty resides,� says Schwartz. The workshops include hands-on training on what’s required around the house, and attendees receive a kit, with materials such as plastic tape and weatherstripping, so they can do the work themselves. As many as 900 people attend these workshops, held in various locations around the city.
Wo rk i n g much like the Habitat for Humanity volunteers, the Project Warm group replaces broken glass, rebuilds doors, repairs holes in the walls, does weatherstripping and caulking and works on whatever Director of ACCEPT, Jim Davis. other problems it finds in the home. Volunteers have found homes where one of the outside doors won’t lock or close tightly. And while Schwartz acknowledges that that’s a security issue, it’s also a sign that the door isn’t functioning properly enough to maintain the inside climate of the house. “We don’t do electrical or plumbing work or major rehab,� he said.

of things.�
The third arm in the arsenal is the volunteer work, in which volunteers go out into the neighborhoods. “We get our referrals from social workers, relatives, neighbors, ministries, schools, community activists, the Family Resource Center and the Urban League,� Schwartz said. “Too many needy people aren’t sufficiently aware of our services.�

It’s spring, of course, so the pressure of preparing for winter’s cold is far off. However, says Schwartz, don’t discount the problems of summer heat. “I just read in Chicago, 700 people died in a summer. A few years ago, thousands died during an August heat spell. And Louisville’s summers can often be more intense than Chicago’s. More people in Louisville die of heat-related incidents than we know, but we don’t track that.” He says the thrust this time of year is to give people defensive measures they can take to beat the heat. “Many people think they’re being smart
managers by turning off the air-conditioner to keep their utility costs down and don’t realize the extent to which they’re risking their health.”
workshop schedule can be found in detail on projectwarm.org, including other places people can go for information or financial help.
Since 1982, says the organization’s web site, Project Warm has provided free weatherization services to more than 37,000 low-income households in Louisville, reducing energy bills for these families up to 20 percent. To date, Project Warm’s clients have saved more than $25 million in energy costs.

Steve is a true expert, but keeps his work exclusive to people he knows or people they know. I feel like we lucked out to get him involved. Still, maybe you know someone like Steve.

“Every lot we sell, we think is ready to go into a home,” Mulvene says. That’s because Floyd Street auctions are not estate sales or bankruptcy sales; they’re sales of overstock and scratch-anddent products from home décor wholesalers. Mulvene says most items at the auction sell for about 25 percent of retail cost. A hutch with a $1,900 retail price tag recently went for $400. “Everybody loves the price,” he says. Running the auction takes a three-person floor crew, a clerk, a cashier and, of course, an auctioneer. A bartender will also operate a bar for guests’ enjoyment at the event.

Three-year-old Kane is a beautiful brindled pit bull terrier mix with lots of love and energy. Kane needed some help working on his manners, so our staff taught him commands, such as sit and come. He still gets a little overexcited when people spend time with him. Kane would like to meet any dogs you have at home to make sure they get along before he comes home with you. Kane will need long walks and time for play to keep him happy and content. He’s neutered, micro-chipped and up-to-date on his vaccinations. Come meet him today at the Kentucky Humane Society’s Main Campus, 241 Steedly Drive.
