Welcome to the end of March Madness. The Blue Devils are National Champions again, the fifth time for Coach K, but they had to beat the team who beat UK - the Wisconsin Badgers. Steve Kaufman explores the ups and downs behind the historic loss that ended an historic season. Now, the question on every UK fans’ lips seems to be: who will come back next season? For the red half of the state, CBS has projected UofL as number 15 in their 2015-2016 pre-season poll. Quentin Snider, Shaqquan Aaron, and Mangok Mathiang are back, while Trey Lewis, Donovan Mitchell, Ray Spalding and Deng Adel will make their mark as incoming Cards.

brings together athletes of various ages and demographics to not only grow their athletic prowess on the court, but to help them lead impactful lives off the court, as well. In this week’s business profile, Wes Kerrick takes us on a trip to Bardstown Road’s storied and eclectic Edenside Gallery. The artworks, ceramics and jewels are all the mark of a great skill for collecting that owner, Nancy Peterson has been honing for years. Half gallery, half store and all very well-curated, this storefront is a true gem in our city. Igor Guryashkin takes us along for his experience at the wonderful Market Street mainstay – Manny & Merle. Known for live music and great food, they’ve expanded their restaurant to accommodate the large crowds that are sure to gather once they catch wind of the new menu items turning this locale into a hotspot for quintessential Southern delightfulness.

In further sports, Mike Rutherford examines the apparent hubris behind aspects of UK’s season, including its unexpected loss to the University of Wisconsin in the Final Four, and he discusses the Cats’ pursuit of perfection ending just two games short of a 40-0 season. Despite the ending record, Coach Calipari is still having a pretty good week, as he joins an elite group elected into the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame. It’s easy to get caught up in the athletic side of basketball, but Coach Tim Barnett, founder of F.O.C.U.S. Basketball Academy is using the love for the game to help positively impact our community. Barnett

With warmer weather creeping in, now is as good a time as ever to venture into the wild at our very own Louisville Zoo. Bennett Duckworth takes time from reviewing the latest blockbusters and enjoys the latest attractions on offer. In Derby-related news, Elizabeth Post explores the first ever Hermitage Grand Gala, set to take place on May 1 at Hermitage Farm in Oldham County, hosted by Steve Wilson, Laure Lee Brown, and Junior and Doris Bridgeman. The unbelievable entertainment, delectable food, and prestigious guests will surely be something to behold, as pop-culture takes over this historic venue for one epic evening, all in aid of five local charities: West End School, Kentucky School of Art at Spalding University, the Cardinal Covenant Scholarship at UofL, Kosair Children’s Hospital Foundation and the University of Louisville Autism Center. Around town, Big Brothers Big Sisters gathered at Ken Bowl for the organization’s largest national fundraiser: Bowl for Kids’ Sake, bringing in over $20 million annually for children in need across the country. Meanwhile, KMAC held the second annual Derby Hat Party, welcoming local milliners who lent their fashion expertise to guests. The Kentucky Gents Derby Extravaganza, a fundraising event for the campus renovation of the Oldham County History Center, offered a real treat to guests. The event is part of the “Dandy Duds for Derby Studs” campaign where 28 notable men around Louisville decorated a tuxedo jacket (donated by Sam Meyers) and whomever raised the most funds was crowned “The Most Dandy Derby Stud.” Wrapping up our social scene this week was Trust For Life’s launch of a new Donation Awareness license plate to kick off Donate Life Month. The event honored and celebrated Kentuckians who have made the decision to save lives by donating their organs. Relax and enjoy!

Nancy Peterson.

This Side of Eden: A Louisville Jewel

n the Highlands, shoppers expect the eclectic. They find it at the corner of Bardstown Road and Edenside Avenue. The wares at Edenside Gallery are as variegated as the neighborhood. Jewelry, paintings, pottery – it takes a certain skill-set to put it all together in a way that is itself artistic.

ing on her choice years ago to create a store-gallery blend. It was the right choice, it seems.

Business Profile WES KERRICK

“I need to calm it down, because people are overwhelmed when they come in,” says owner Nancy Peterson. Since opening for business in 1991, Peterson has struck the perfect blend of gallery and store. Colorful paintings hang on the walls, on consignment from Louisville artists like Bob Lockhart and Jeaneen Barnhart. And while Peterson has a relatively small space to work with, she’s organized everything into a look somewhere between that of a gift shop and an upscale boutique.

Edenside Gallery has been voted Best of Louisville 10 times in Louisville Magazine’s annual awards program. Standing next to a jewelry case, Peterson is talking with a man who looks to be in his 20s. “We sell a lot of engagement rings,” she says, then stops to check his left hand.

No wedding ring. “So, when you should need one of those, you could come shop with me.” The rings at Edenside are different from what you’d find at a typical jewelry store. Some are from 100 years ago. “You won’t see anyone else wearing the one that you have,” she says. Peterson says antique rings are becoming more popular. But she won’t say where she finds them.

The products on display represent a combination of retail sales and consignments. The pottery selection features Louisville’s own Laura Ross, and the woodworking includes masterpieces from Dennis Hartman, also of Louisville.

Peterson says business always picks up around this time of year. As Derby ensembles are coming together around town, Edenside is a destination for jewelry. The selection ranges from some elegant earrings that are easy on the budget, to necklaces handcrafted from select metals. Edenside is also one of the special places Louisvillians bring their out-of-town guests. Since so many of the items were crafted in Louisville or the surrounding area, the store is a treasury of gifts and one-of-a-kind keepsakes. Locally sourced products are what customers are demanding, Peterson says. “They ask you, ‘Is it local?’ If it’s not, a lot of times they won’t buy it.” But Peterson doesn’t mind the challenge of finding local merchandise. In fact, working with local artists is what she loves most. “Spending time with them is great,” she says. Peterson can’t exactly put her finger on what inspired her passion for the local art scene. “I like being around beautiful things,” she says. A former teacher at Highland Middle School, she had a pretty simple purpose in opening the store 24 years ago: “just to be independent and self-sufficient and do something fun.”

Peterson puts it all together with the help of one employee, Christine VanHeuklon, who works four days a week.

That’s just what she’s done. And she’s still going strong. VT

“I guess we just did something a little different, maybe, than other people,” Peterson says, reflectA P R I L 9 , 2 0 1 5 • W W W . V O I C E -T R I B U N E . C O M

“It’s a hunt, and it’s not easy,” she says. “It takes a long time.”

Alongside the Winner’s Trophy were three smaller sterling silver replica trophies that will be presented to Kentucky Derby 141’s winning trainer, jockey and breeder. The priceless trophy was crafted for the 40th consecutive year by a team of artisans from New England Sterling in North Attleboro, Mass., which has since been purchased by Richline, a subsidiary of Berskhire Hathaway Inc. Susanne Blackinton-Juaire, a fifth-generation silversmith and a member of the team that created the trophy, was at Churchill Downs for the first public display of a trophy that she described as “a labor of love” for the team. She said the multi-layered task of creating each year’s Kentucky Derby Winner’s trophy usually lasts four-to-five months.

Most U.S. 21st Century Population Growth Came in Just 27 Metro Areas

Only a few have grown at rates similar to the population growth rate of the nation as a whole, 13 percent. The closest are Kansas City (13 percent) and Richmond (15 percent).

capitals with large universities and research industries, have grown far faster than the national average (29 and 24 percent). Two metro areas with similar assets, Raleigh and Austin, were the fastest-growing in the country (56 and 55 percent), followed by Las Vegas (52 percent), whose explosive growth dropped way off with the housing bust. Air conditioning and civil rights legislation made the South more attractive in the two post-World War II generations. But now air conditioning is taken for granted and better winter clothing (plus snow blowers and electric garage door openers) has made cold winters more bearable. Non-meteorological factors seem to be sparking -- or holding down -- growth. Consider Texas, with the nation’s biggest population boom. Its two largest metro areas, Dallas and Houston, produced 10 percent of total U.S. population growth in the 21st century. Add in San Antonio and Austin, and you have 13 percent of national growth -- 4.9 million of 37.4 million. Florida, which in 2014 passed New York as the nation’s third most populous state, has four major metro areas -- Miami, Tampa, Orlando, Jacksonville -- which account for another 6 percent of U.S. growth. Texas and Florida have business-friendly public policies and no state income taxes -- undoubtedly contributors to growth. There’s above average growth in other major metros in other no-income-tax states -- Nashville, Las Vegas, Seattle. There is vigorous growth also in Phoenix and Denver, Atlanta and Charlotte. But government also helped spur growth, in state capitals and in Washington (26 percent), the only fast-growing Northeastern metro. Since the housing bust and financial crisis of 2006-09, both immigration and internal migration have slowed down. People hunker down in tough times. Outmigration from New York and Los Angeles has slowed. But a few metro areas have attracted domestic migrants more rapidly since 2010 than in the previous decade -- Dallas, Houston, San Antonio, Austin, Seattle, Denver, Oklahoma City. Oil and tech are part of that story, but only part; there’s a dynamism there lacking elsewhere. The fast-growing metros are the future of America; at current rates they’ll outnumber the slow-growing metros by 2030. And that growth is increasingly driven not by immigrants, but by Americans voting with their feet.

In her role as executive director of the Petrino Family Foundation, Kelsey Petrino Scott has put a great deal of work into this inaugural Spring Golf Classic. The tournament on April 17 is just one of several events the foundation is putting on this year. Bobby Petrino returned to UofL as head football coach in 2013. With his arrival again in Louisville came a foundation that’s already given out some fairly large sums. In June 2014, the foundation pledged $1 million toward the creation of the Petrino Family Trauma Room at Kosair Children’s Hospital. It’s also funded a scholarship through UofL’s Cardinal Covenant program, which covers tuition, books, room and board for students from low-income households. Petrino’s fund also purchased new uniforms for the university’s marching band. “My dad came to me with the idea of running the foundation for him,” Scott said. And she was more than happy to oblige. “It’s really the opportunity I’ve been looking for,” she said. “I think it’s important to share the blessings that you have with others.” In addition to Scott, the foundation’s board is made up of Larry Benz, Coach Petrino and his wife Becky, their daughter Katie Petrino, son Bobby Petrino Jr. and son Nick Petrino. The idea of a golf fundraiser came from Becky and from Katie, a UofL senior who plays on the golf team. “They wanted to put

“And it’s actually turned out really great.” Once word of the event got out, Scott filled all of the event’s sponsorship spots and more than enough teams.

A few local celebrities are on the roster: Todd Grantham, Louisville’s defensive coordinator; Garrick McGee, the offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach; local radio and TV personality Terry Meiners and former Green Bay Packers defensive end Joe Johnson, who played for Louisville in the early 1990s. The foundation’s next event will be the Petrino Family Foundation Festival on July 18. With an endurance-trying obstacle course in the works, the festival will raise money for Kosair. The event will also include a barbecue cook-off

later in the day.

“We’re really excited about that event,” Scott said. She’s already looking to host another golf classic next year, with even more teams. “I hope that with the success of these events we’re able to expand our pledges and get even more involved,” Scott said. The foundation’s emphasis is on empowering families. “The strength of the family (has) a direct correlation to the strength of the community,” she said. And so the more money the foundation can raise, the more it can accomplish for Louisville. “I’ve gone out and been lucky enough to tour a bunch of different charity groups and programs that we have here in Louisville,” Scott said. “So we definitely have a list of people that we want to be involved with. Right now we’ve just got to raise the funds to do it.” VT For more information, visit petrinofamilyfoundation.org or call 502.262.3632.

ome day, after the sting of pain subsides, we’ll be able to look back on this season and appreciate what a special journey it was, with a special group of athletes. But you don’t want to read that now. And, frankly, I don’t want to write it. The disappointment is still too palpable. Just rip the bandage off. When I came out my front door on Friday morning, after a downpour that had left four inches of water in my basement, the pole holding my UK flag had snapped in the wind. The blue and white banner was sitting in a puddle of dirty rainwater. “This is not a good omen!” And, 36 hours later, I was right – if you believe in omens. What else could it have been? Surely not a poor game plan. Surely not sloppy execution. Surely not some peculiar decision-making in the flow of the game. Surely not a blown shot clock call. This was 38-0 Kentucky, Number One of all the number ones. They don’t have poor game plans or sloppy execution. It’s always tempting, in a 40-minute game, to focus on one play or call or sequence. A P R I L 9 , 2 0 1 5 • W W W . V O I C E -T R I B U N E . C O M

Risky too, because, sports plays out in a continuum, so what happens in the first five minutes will affect what happens in the last five seconds. But to most people, the key point in the game came after UK had put on one of its patented second-half runs. Down by eight, 52-44, at the 14:46 mark, the Cats went on an eight-minute run, outscoring Wisconsin 16-4, to lead by four. We’d seen it all season, the defensive lockdowns, the offensive aggressiveness. Wisconsin was reeling. Karl-Anthony Towns was exercising his will, Anthony Davisstyle. Call him “Towns the Tank.” He was turning the other guy into a Tonka toy. And then the Cats had three consecutive shot clock violations, cautiously trying to finesse the ball movement and work the game time instead of going right at Wisconsin. The push-push-push offense – the one that all season produced so many layups and a foul, so many ball reversals for the open three, so many alley oops – was suddenly replaced by dribble-dribble-dribble, the one that produces standing around and indecision. Strange. I don’t know if that was the message from the bench or Andrew Harrison see page 20

Karl-Anthony Towns went up against Frank Kaminsky. Towns led the Wildcats with 16 points and nine rebounds.

freelancing, but it was disastrous. In a game where the margin for error was minuscule the normally poised Cats, who all season have gobbled up the second half pressure, simply folded. That allowed Wisconsin to come back on some good three-point shooting. Which raises another question for me: Where was our perimeter offense? We took five 3-point shots, they took 17. We have three-point shooters, too. Devin Booker is one of the best. But he took just six shots, and zero 3s! Over the next two minutes, which was really the deciding stretch – the last 60 seconds of fouling to try stopping the clock and getting the ball back didn’t really count – Kentucky did not score. Another quibble – Frank Kaminsky had clearly decided that the way to avoid foul trouble was not to play defense. It seemed Kentucky could have exploited that more. Towns made seven of 11 shots. This might have been a chance for another 10 post-ups from him. But during that critical portion of the game, after Wisconsin had fought back to a 60-60 tie, Towns did not take another shot. And that gets me to the Wisconsin basket that tied the score, a put-back by Nigel Hayes with 2:35 left in the game. While I generally subscribe to the notion that blaming the refs is a loser’s refuge, in how many more sports is Kentucky going to be destroyed by officials’ inability to see a clock hit 0:00? You remember it happened against Florida in overtime during the football season, but this one had far greater consequences. And basketball is a much more time-focused activity. The ball, the basket, the clock, they’re all pretty much in one field of vision. It doesn’t seem all that difficult for an NCAA tournament-level referee to coordinate the three. Not like it’s the first time he’s ever been in that situation. Could it have been fatigue that derailed Kentucky at the end? The “platoon system” and the deep bench were supposed to nullify that. At the end of games, Kentucky was presumed to be the team with the fresh legs. Of course, the platoon had become as expired as that Christmas eggnog you just found in the back of your fridge. Dakari Johnson played eight minutes, Marcus Lee played five minutes, against Wisconsin. Lee was always going to be a marginal part of this squad, a tremendous athlete with still-developing basketball skills. But we saw Dakari shrink and disappear before our eyes as the season went on.

the bigs do go on to the NBA (and I’m still not willing to concede that point), he would be well-advised to come back and work on his game. However, after all his sacrifice and frustration, all the pre-season buildup about the new and improved Dakari, I wouldn’t be surprised if he were feeling like: “I’m outta here” right about now. Finally, you just knew, back in December, that there would come that time when we’d need Alex Poythress and he wouldn’t be able to answer. Poythress could have been that wide set of shoulders to keep Wisconsin off the boards, out of the lane, away from the baseline. Sadly, that time finally came. I hated having to write this one, after such an incredible winter. But ultimately, I’m not saddest for me or for you or Big Blue Nation, I’m saddest for those players. They’re still very young men, most of them more kids than men, playing with so much joy under so much pressure. They’re about to face some adult decisions. Some of them could become fabulously wealthy by the fall. But the NBA is a mostly joyless grind. Karl-Anthony Towns will see how quickly his “band of brothers” mentality dissipates. It’s a job, and a high-stakes one, too. They’ll be amazingly rewarded, but much will be expected of them. It’s a cold world away from Wildcat Lodge. Ask Doron Lamb or Archie Goodwin

about how the dream of playing in Madison Square Garden turns into a February night on a bus from Fort Wayne to Grand Rapids. Some may yet come back for another season. And I think many should. I’ll talk about that in a future column. But first, they’re going to have to go to sleep night after night and replay in their minds the rebound that slipped away, the ball that bounced out of

bounds, the foul call they insist was not a foul. Sort of like the tossing and turning many of us have been doing just after the lights go out these last few nights, where we see a ref blow his whistle, wave off the basket and shout, “too late, shot clock violation, Kentucky ball.” But just a dream.

Duke head coach Mike Krzyzewski claimed his fifth national title to further cement his place as the greatest college basketball coach of all time with a 68-63 victory over the University of Kentucky’s conquerors Wisconsin on Monday night in Indianapolis.

Talent vs. Character

They pursued perfection all season, and almost achieved it. Kentucky came up two games short of a 40-0 season. The Cats one and only loss came on Saturday night, a 71-64 setback to Wisconsin. It was a season that featured the two-platoon system and the molding of nine McDonald’s All-Americans into a team. John Calipari, who was introduced on Monday as a member of the Class of 2015 for the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame, was surprised when the Harrison twins, Willie Cauley-Stein, Alex Poythress and Dakari Johnson all returned for another season in Lexington. He added another talented recruiting class to form a team that beat everyone in their path – until Saturday. The end result, a 38-1 record, and a bit of poor sportsmanship after that loss. Andrew and Aaron Harrison and Willie Cauley-Stein were among the Kentucky players who left the court without shaking hands with the Badgers. What 's the process like for Did you shake hands after you guys as you decide what the game? your next move is?

We love each other a lot and I think our love keeps us tight, even in this hard time.

What happened in the last five minutes, you were up by four, what happened to turn the game? Andrew: We just didn't execute, and didn't make plays down the stretch. How does this compare to the feeling you had at the end of last year? Aaron Harrison: Yeah, it's just different. It doesn't feel real this year. It's just feels like, ‘yeah we've got another game tomorrow.’ I think we have to let it sink in. It's just tough to deal with when you know you had the best team. You've hit so many big shots, when that last one doesn't go in, is that when it hits you that this might not be the night? Aaron: I don't think it was the last one. I think it was the two when I got the shot clock violations. That was just dumb basketball by me and I think that's what lost us the game. A P R I L 9 , 2 0 1 5 • W W W . V O I C E -T R I B U N E .

After all, Calipari is the front man of a program whose fan base has spent the past 24 months fixated on (and making t-shirts for) the possibility of its two most recent teams going 40-0. Not only did neither of those squads achieve perfection, but they brought home the same number of national titles as DePaul. When I was making the drive from Louisville to Atlanta two Aprils ago, I had a feeling that in a short while I was going to witness the Cardinals win their first

The rightful ruler of the hardwood ready to take the baton from its SEC brethren once the final whistle blows in mid-January.

But few things in college basketball are as straightforward as they are in the world of its gridiron counterpart, and Big Blue Nation's claim to Alabama's – that of three national championships in the last six seasons – duplicate throne is no different.

Kentucky has received No. 1 votes in each of the last three preseason coaches and Associated Press Top 25 polls, and has started the last two seasons as both set of voters' pick to cut down the nets at the end of the year. In those three seasons, the Wildcats have lost in the first round of the NIT, been a No. 8 seed which advanced all the way to the title game before losing to a No. 7 seed and, finally, became the first team in college basketball history to start a season 38-0 before bowing out in the national semifinals. It's a résumé that is more eccentric than it is impressive. While Kentucky has recent accomplishments it can absolutely hang its hat on, those accomplishments certainly don't level the fellow efforts of programs like Duke or Connecticut or, say, the one that is still the Commonwealth's most recent national champion. And even if they did, what is there to gain by abandoning humility? The potential risk always outweighs the potential reward when you go down that road, and my guess is a healthy chunk of Big Blue Nation is still feeling a dose of that reality right now. One of my favorite things about being a Louisville fan is that the average red and black supporter celebrates wins and is saddened by losses. I will take that option every single time when the alternative is being satisfied by victories and infuriated by losses. Sorry if that comes off as too boastful. VT W W W . V O I C E -T R I B U N E .

Carpe Diem heads into Kentucky Derby 141 off an impressive win in Keeneland's Toyota Blue Grass Stakes.

As Derby Day Nears the Sizzle Increases

he journey to the Kentucky Derby is, in many years, one shaped by attrition. Contenders frequently go to the wayside with injury, illness, poor luck with weather and other issues.

General Duke was the pre-race favorite in 1957 in the field that is regarded as the best of all Derbys, but he was injured just before the race and was on the sidelines as Calumet Farm stabemate Iron Liege won the race.

Buckpasser and Graustark were potential superstars of the 3-yearold crop in 1966 and their anticipated showdown in the Kentucky Derby was viewed as a potential match for the ages. But both were stopped by injury before the big day at Churchill Downs..

As we saw this past weekend, completing an unbeaten season with an NCAA college basketball championship is a difficult thing to accomplish. That’s why that achievement is so rare.

I have no quantifiable data to back this up, but I believe winning a single Kentucky Derby – much less a Triple Crown – is tougher task by a margin of light years. That’s one reason why the race on the first Saturday in May at Churchill Downs has become the Holy Grail that it is. President John Kennedy launched America’s bid to put Americans on the moon with these words: “We choose to go to the moon in this decade and do the other things, not because they are easy, but because they are hard.” Winning a Kentucky Derby is not exactly a moon shot, but, man, it is hard. Just getting to the race is hard. Winning it is close to the impossible dream. The degree of difficulty of the path to the Kentucky Derby has generated an ever-growing list of horses that might have won the roses had they only gotten to the starting gate.

Eventual Horse of the Year A.P. Indy was scratched on the morning of the 1992 Kentucky Derby because of a foot issue, and Pat Day and Lil E. Tee would run to victory that afternoon. A.P. Indy would return five weeks later to dominate in the Belmont Stakes, the final jewel of the Triple Crown. And let’s not forget 2009 when the Derby favorite I Want Revenge was scratched on the morning of the race. Later that day, Calvin Borel would pilot 50-1 shot Mine That Bird to a stunning victory in the mud over his 18 remaining rivals. But this year could be different. With just over three weeks remaining in the journey to the 2015 Kentucky Derby, nearly all of the the horses that have for months been atop the list of possible winners are still there. We have lost reigning Breeders’ Cup Juvenile winner Texas Red to a foot issue and Turfway

Park’s Spiral winner Dubai Sky dropped off the Derby Trial with an injury late last week. But unbeaten Dortmund romped in last week’s Santa Anita Derby and Carpe Diem rolled in the returned-to-dirt Toyota Blue Grass at Keeneland and has yet to run a poor race in his career. Frosted gained redemption for a frustrating winter with a return-to-form romp in the Wood Memorial and he heads to Louisville with momentum. This Saturday we’ll see if reigning 2-yearold champion American Pharoah can build on his brilliant resume and continue his dominance in the Arkansas Derby. Acknowledging that the pursuit of the Derby’s roses is very difficult and a misfortune lurks nearby with every rising sun, the anticipation of this year’s Derby and the sizzle in the Derby scene is growing with each day. We must always be ready for potential heartbreak in the pursuit of the solid gold cup that goes to the Kentucky Derby winner, but difficult to restrain one’s enthusiasm over the way this year’s race is shaping up. I’m keeping fingers crossed and holding my breath, but I believe this year’s Kentucky Derby truly has the potential to be renewal that we’ll be recalling and discussing for a long time. Let’s hope for some good weather and even better luck for all of the horses zeroing in on Saturday, May 2 at Churchill Downs. If that occurs, we could all be luckier than we would ever imagine.

Impacting Lives One Dribble at a Time

t was through the game of basketball that Coach Tim Barnett learned the game of life. Now he uses basketball to impact the lives of so many in the Louisville community. He is the founder of F.O.C.U.S. Basketball Academy, located at 2041 River Road.

High School Sports Report

The other three components that make this basketball academy so unique is the recognition participants receive for academic achievement, character development, and community work they pursue.

“Academically, kids have to bring in their report cards every time they get them,” expressed RANDY Barnett. “If you can’t do what WHETSTONE JR. you’re supposed to do in school, then you can’t come into the [gym] and run up and down the floor. “F.O.C.U.S. is an acronym for Focus There’s a direct correlation between acaOn Character equals Ultimate Success. demics and athletics.

But that is only one of four ideological pillars that Barnett instills in his kids. A P R I L 9 , 2 0 1 5 • W W W . V O I C E -T R I B U N E . C O M

What sparked the drive and passion within Barnett to use basketball as a plat-

Sports

form to impact lives was through his own life experiences and relationships he built with coaches. As a graduate from Waggener High School in 1992, Barnett played collegiately at various places, and ended his playing career at the University of Nevada where he received a degree in social work. Barnett said during his high school days he had an encounter with Bob Redman, a well renowned coach in Kentucky. He then began to see the power that coaches really have. Through this special relationship, he envisioned how he could transform lives through basketball. “When I moved back to Louisville in 2005 and started working out with kids, I realized that many coaches here didn’t really understand the power that they had over kids, and how they can change kids’ lives through this game.” In his younger days, Barnett, who grew up in Victory Park, located in the west end of Louisville, expressed he was one of those kids who didn’t expect to do anything in life. “The passion comes from being one of those kids. I have been through the gangs and shootings. My drive and my passion is to be the guy who is there who can talk and relate to the kids. I’m not ashamed to say to them, ‘I’ve been in your shoes.’” Many familiar faces have come through the F.O.C.U.S. gym to workout and learn. Former UK guard and NBA star Rajon Rondo, former UofL guards Peyton Siva and Russ Smith have worked out with Coach Barnett and have served as an inspiration to the kids. He founded the basketball camp: Camp of Champions with Siva and Smith, and has also partnered with former UofL forward and NBA player Gorgui Dieng in the Dieng Basketball Camp. After building good relations with Mayor Greg Fischer who has spoken at the F.O.C.U.S. Gala the past two years, Barnett’s goal for the future will be to continue to reach those who have the power to make change in the city. “My ultimate goal is to reach those who have the power to make change. My goal is to really get the city to understand what they need to do to cut the nonsense that is going on, especially in the west end of Louisville.” He believes that merging parents from affluent neighborhoods with parents from not so affluent neighbors will be a key factor in accomplishing this goal. “It’s bigger

than just basketball. It’s about being another voice and being a community activist.” The biggest message Barnett gives to his kids is to, “Believe in who you are. The message is to be who you are, believe in yourself, and believe that you can soar and you can touch the mountains and touch the sky. Whatever it is you want to be, dream!”

In 10 years, through the F.O.C.U.S. Basketball Academy, Coach Tim Barnett has seen how his love for the game has ripened bountifully. “The love of the game still pays me to this day. I’m not in the NBA, but basketball has allowed me to have a career right now. It’s allowed me to be who I am.” VT W W W . V O I C E -T R I B U N E . C O M •

versus

Defeated, But Still Great

TONY VANETTI: Okay Matt, the season is over. Kentucky did not get out of the semi-finals, how are you coping with it?

MATT JONES: I’m alright. I was disappointed for a couple of days but it only stings when you think you’re the best team and you don’t win. But the NCAA tournament is fickle and the best team does not always win. In fact, the best team often doesn’t win and Kentucky did not. It’s still a great season to go 38-1 but the one loss will loom large. VANETTI: Do you still believe that Kentucky is the best team? JONES: Oh yeah, definitely, Kentucky was

the best team. Look, think about baseball. The best team will play 162 games and the best team will win 100 and lose the other 62. In football, teams lose; that’s just part of it. And in basketball teams lose a lot. Duke lost by 20 points at home to Miami. That happened, so it’s all about timing and Kentucky lost at a bad time. They lost to a Wisconsin team that was probably the third best team, but Wisconsin matched up well with Kentucky, and so they lost. But if they played 10 times I think Kentucky would beat Wisconsin more times than they wouldn’t. VANETTI: Was there salt in the wound that

Duke won the title and four of their freshman scored most of the points, and the headline read, “How Awesome Is It That Duke is Winning With Freshmen?” Is that a little twist of the knife? JONES: That’s assuming that I care what idiot journalists say. One of the things that I have learned is that college basketball journalists have the collective basketball sense A P R I L 9 , 2 0 1 5 • W W W . V O I C E -T R I B U N E . C O M

of a pear. I’m really not concerned at all about what they have to say. It’s hypocritical when they do that, but we’ve known they have been hypocritical about Calipari forever. Kryszewski winning with all freshmen is impressive just like it was impressive when Cal did it.

“In basketball, teams lose a lot. Duke lost by 20 points at home to Miami, so it’s all about timing and Kentucky lost at a bad time. They lost to a Wisconsin team that was probably the third best team, but Wisconsin matched up well with Kentucky, and so they lost. But if they played 10 times I think Kentucky would beat Wisconsin more times than they lose.” – Matt Jones VANETTI: Some people will look and think that we put way too much emphasis on the post-season and Louisville fans have a legitimate point when they say that UK is the greatest team ever, and yet UK played 35 minutes more than Louisville because they went into overtime with Michigan State.

JONES: Yeah, and that’s what stupid people would say. Was Kentucky last year better than the team this year? No! Of course not. That Kentucky team last year lost 10 games, but they made it one round further. So a stupid person would look at that and say they are better. We sports fans put way too much emphasis on things that could go either way. That’s the nature of college basketball, it’s what makes it great and it’s why the NCAA tournament is awesome. But it also means that people go crazy about something that happened in a one game scenario. And there I think you are making a mistake. VANETTI: So moving forward, as Calipari goes, there are rumors about him going to the NBA. What are the odds he takes off? JONES: He’s not going to. He knows where he’s supposed to be. He’s a better college coach than he was an NBA coach. He’ll be smart and he will stay, and then next year Kentucky will have to console itself with another number one pre-season ranking. VANETTI: Alright, let’s go back to the championship game real quick. Coach K wins his fifth; one more than Rupp. He has now secured himself in a category all his own. Your opinion on Coach K? JONES: I think he’s the best coach ever. I do. It’s much harder to win it now than it was when Wooden won it. It just is. More teams care about it; there’s more parody; there’s more everything. It is harder now than it was before. To win five now is like winning 10 back then, which is how many Wooden won. So I think he’s the greatest coach ever. He’s also an example of how things can be fickle. Last year, the greatest coach ever lost to Mercer, and this year they

won the title. It just goes to show, you never know what will happen, but at the end of the day you judge a coach by a long period of time. And over a long period of time he has been amazing. VANETTI: How has your fan base been handling the situation? JONES: Everybody’s sad. It’s sad. Come on Tony, you know how it is. You’re probably sad for us. We liked this team so much. VANETTI: I did like the players on this team, there’s no doubt about it. Karl Anthony Towns, Booker, and even Willie. Do you want to take a guess and put it in print, how many will go and how many will stay? JONES: Five will definitely go. In the end, Dakari is close, I think Booker comes back, and next year Kentucky will be really good. I think they’ll sign one or two more big time recruits and then you’ll get another great team.

Now Louisville is doing their own one and done strategy here it looks like, just with guys who are old with beards. How do you think that’s going to work out?

Mays and he was almost an exact clone VANETTI: Well it’s exactly right. He’s takof this guy. He was the leading scorer for ing the fifth year guys. He’s got Trey Lewis Wright State in the same conference, and he who is coming in from Cleveland State. He came in and he helped Kentucky just like I was their leading scorer. Pitino is trying think this kid will help Louisville. to shore up some outside shooting, trying to fill the holes left by some of the guys Cleveland State transfer Trey Lewis playing against that left last year. UofL on Nov. 26. 2014. Lewis will be the only player I don’t know how pictured here that returns for the Cards in ‘15-’16. that will work. We all know that if you don’t play defense, you don’t get on the floor. So Trey Lewis better get on it with the match-up zone pretty quick or he’s not going to see the floor. We also have Mitchell coming in next year who could help with that backcourt. JONES: Well Kentucky did that. Kentucky has Julius

Tom Hyland has tracked every car he sold at Byerly Ford, starting in 1974. He’s put as many as 67 on the road in one month.

As Byerly Ford turns 70, its most senior sales exec looks back AS BYERLY FORD CELEBRATES ITS 70TH ANNIVERSARY, ITS LONGEST-SERVING SALESPERSON REFLECTS ON AN INDUSTRY VERY CHANGED, AND VERY MUCH THE SAME Tom Hyland is a car salesman. Six mornings a week for 40 years, since 1974, he has pulled up to the lot of Byerly Ford on Dixie Highway, made his way to a small desk and employed an evolving spectrum of approaches to help connect buyers with new Fords. When he started, the showrooms were full of Mavericks and Gran Torinos, Thunderbirds and Broncos, iconic names that now say as much about the era itself as they do the people who bought them. There were no airbags. Power windows were for the well-off, and if you wanted to go crazy with your sound system, you might check the optional 8-track box on the order form. And just as the cars have changed, so too have the tools and strategies Hyland uses to sell them. As Byerly Ford celebrates its 70th anniversary serving as the areas longest-operating dealership, it seemed like a good time to talk to Hyland, its most senior salesperson, about how selling cars is different from what it was like when he took over the accounts of his father, who had been selling there since 1961. We spoke in his office, just past the massive, newly remodeled showroom. Byerly spent about $2 million on the dealership over the past several months, with renovations including a pampered customer waiting

area and a garage as bright and modern as a surgical operating room. (See a slideshow of the dealership through the ages at www.Byerly70.com.) The most obvious difference in sales tools is the web. And while Hyland has not been slow to embrace it, the online world has not overshadowed some of his old-fashioned tactics, either. Now, it’s not uncommon for customers to stroll the lot and be just as informed about vehicles and sales as the salespeople are themselves. They’ll know option packages, reviews and rebates not only on the models generally, but on what models specifically are available at which dealerships regionally and at what price. “The Internet has completely changed the way that we sell cars,” Hyland said. “You’ve got to stay current with the market. And when somebody says that this car is at another dealership and your price is $5,000 higher than the other dealer, well, then you’ve got to start selling them somehow. I bond with people, and that makes people want to buy from you.” He also continues to do the things he’s done since he started, back when Nixon was president and The Watergate was just a fancy hotel. “I send out postcards every quarter, and they go out to over 4,000 clients, they all go out every quarter. If they come back then my sister helps me, she goes through them and we find address changes or deaths and then we update the book,” he said. “It’s a process. It is more than me just showing up every day.” Credit is easier to get than it used to be, and that has certainly impacted the sales process. It used to take two days to process a credit application for people and now its 15 minutes. “That’s our goal, to close a deal as quick as possi-

ble, and it flies. I used to sell a car, take the application, let them go and come back a day or two later and have the car ready. The whole process has gotten a lot quicker.” When Hyland started, loan terms were much shorter, too. “I can remember the time when I first got here it used to be 36 months on a loan,” he said. “When it went up to 48 months, my dad was a finance manager. He came in here and said, ‘I don’t know how we will sell these cars with 48 months.’ Now it’s 84 months.” Leasing is another change, one that Hyland didn’t initially receive well. “I tried to fight it for a bit. But now I lease. It’s just a good way to buy a car. It’s a cheap way to buy, because you don’t have to do maintenance or anything like that. But you have to continue to do it: three years and then turn it in and then lease another one.” Despite all the changes, Hyland continues to be impressed by the way the Daunhauer family runs Byerly Ford. Three grandchildren of Clifford Byerly, Greg, John and David, manage different parts of Byerly Ford and Byerly Nissan and continue to help it earn the reputation of customer-friendliness and service that helped the dealership survive and thrive throughout its seven decades. “I enjoy the family that owns this franchise. I knew their grandfather. I knew their father, and I knew their uncles who were part of this business at one time,” Hyland said. “Most places you go, you don’t see someone who has stayed in the car business for 40 years and that’s just because I’ve had a good relationship with this family. They are good people.” A P R I L 9 , 2 0 1 5 • W W W . V O I C E -T R I B U N E . C O M

Kentucky Gents Derby Extravaganza Guests had a wonderful time on April 2, at the Kentucky Gents Derby Extravaganza, a fundraising event for the campus renovation of the Oldham County History Center. The event is part of the “Dandy Duds for Derby Studs” campaign. 28 notable men around Louisville decorated a tuxedo jacket (donated by Sam Meyers). The man who brought in the most money in sponsorships for his jacket was named “The Most Dandy Derby Stud,” and gets to drive a Ford mustang during Derby festivities and was showered with other goodies. There was also a People’s Choice Award. The jackets were on display during the month of March at Oxmoor Center. Some of the men participating included: Bill Samuels, Makers Mark, William Carstanjen, CEO of Churchill Downs, Mark Eliason, Jenkins Eliason Interiors, Jeff Howard, Milestone Wellness Center, Dennis Tapp, Dennis Tapp Designs, Sterling Riggs, WDRB, Jackie Sturgeon, Blades Salon and Spa.

Frankfort Avenue Easter Parade Once again Frankfort Avenue hosted the 23nd Annual Easter Parade on April 4. The parade began in front of St. Mark’s Episcopal Church, and traveled to Haldeman Avenue, bringing free candy and Easter cheer to thousands of onlookers. This year’s Grand Marshal was United Crescent Hill Ministries’ Sue Gentry who is retiring after 30 years of service to the community; she was escorted through the parade in a horse drawn carriage alongside the Easter Bunny. This event was free and welcomed families, children and pets to participate, and everyone was encouraged to dress in costume and bring their Easter baskets to be filled with free candy.

Then, after a day at sea we landed at Dzaoudzi, Mayotte, a French Collective Territory in the Camores archipelago. Voting to continue to be French allowed the Mayotte citizens to enjoy surfaced roads, schools and a program to control malaria, as well as a legal minimum wage established by France, which is six times the average wage of that of the independent Camores, who had voted to be a part of the Federal and Islamic Republic of the Comaros. Still, Mayotte remains very much a colonial backwater. A detachment of the French Foreign Legion is permanently based at the rocky fortress at Dzaoudzi. Many of the light-skinned ladies wear a yellow-gray paste blotchily smeared on their faces as a fashion statement and to prevent wrinkles. And they are not happy to have their pictures taken! The next two days we were in Nosey Be (large island) and Mahajanga, Madagascar. Nosey Be is a colorful backwater with the center of town named Hellville, named for a Frenchman whose last name was Hell. The main attraction for us was to go to a wonderful wildlife park that offered an enormous collection of adorable furry, wild lemurs. They run wild on the island, along with snakes, wild boar, large green chameleons and giant tortoises. Mahajanga is a trans-shipment port and not all that interesting, so we stayed aboard and spent the day at the spa and playing cards. Sometimes you just have to “veg” out!

A LEGEND Remembered

erry Carlon was a jazz musician in Louisville, with a lifetime spent traveling between up to six gigs on the weekends. Carlon passed away on April 11, 2014.

Carlon grew up on jazz and specifically with a passion for the groundbreaking pianist Thelonious Monk. He attended Columbia University for two years in New York City so he could be closer to the thriving jazz scene there, and even managed to sit and play with his idol Monk on a few occasions. Moving back to Louisville, Carlon took up a traveling sales position, selling wholesale tires, all because it meant he could be on the road and would be able to listen to the radio and jazz all day long. When he would return home to his four children, he still found time to play as much as he could around the city. His memorial takes place on April 11 at noon at the Cathedral of the Assumption, at 433 South Fifth Street, where his bandmates of 20 years – The Jerry Carlon Sound – a band remembered by countless residents around the city – will be playing their back catalogue as a tribute to their leader. “He was tireless,” recalls daughter Lisa Carlon. “A day before he moved into assisted living and six months before he died, I was dropping him off at a gig. He just loved to play.” PHOTO BY JOHN HARRALSON T H E V O I C E -T R I B U N E V E T E R A N P H O T O G R A P H E R

Kyle Lueken I love fashion because it’s an extension of our personality and our character. In terms of my style I would say I’m typically casual with a bit of edge. Because of my job [store manager at mens boutique Ethyl 3.9] I will typically read quite a few fashion blogs and keep up with what’s going on in the world with different trends, color schemes, patterns, textures. So I take those into consideration for the things that I wear. Right now I don’t feel like Louisville has too many men’s boutique stores. But I do like J. Crew and Gap, and I do quite a bit of shopping online at places like Gilt.com and HauteLook. com. I think it’s time that men start pushing their boundaries with their wardrobes, especially here in Louisville. If a man thinks he looks good and it’s a little bit beyond his comfort zone, he should go with it and see what happens. Because you’ll probably get some interesting comments and help shape your style and self confidence.

Floats and inflatable units participating in this year’s parade drew for positions at a special event tonight at 8UP Elevated Drinkery & Kitchen. “Best of Louisville” will be the theme for the Derby Festival’s oldest event, which will feature approximately 100 units marching down Broadway on Thursday, April 30. Said Kentucky Derby Festival President and CEO Mike Berry: “We wanted to pay tribute to the community that has supported the Festival for 60 years. Participants can decorate their units to reflect what they love about Louisville. Then, we’ll showcase the best our city has to offer as the parade marches down Broadway in the spring.” The parade theme will be used by sponsoring companies to help direct the building of floats and costuming of the inflatable handlers and crew. The floats and inflatables compete for various awards based on originality, eye appeal, theme

The Kentucky Derby is a Southern spectacle rich in tradition; Twin Spires, world-class horses, Mint Juleps and the finest spring fashion. Both female and male attendees pull out all the stops when it comes to selecting their Oaks and Kentucky Derby apparel. The Derby is one of the few times that gentlemen can dress up and stand out as much as the ladies. There are no rules or limits when choosing your Derby attire, and there’s no better sporting event to express yourself. Gentlemen, if you’re looking to complete your Derby outfit, all these great accessories can be found in local stores.

The rustic home cooking continued when we tried the all new mac ‘n’ cheese, which consisted of five artisanal cheeses, the types of which Rosenblatt is keeping closely guarded. Gooey, chewy and more than filling by itself

the mac ‘n’ cheese is a real treat - especially as the cheeses selected complement each other perfectly into a tasty and fun mess, which is made even better because of the topping of panko bread crumbs, as well as dry herbs. But if mac ‘n’ cheese is not your thing, Rosenblatt and team have come up with something equally traditional, but also rich and sinful.

onions, Romano cheese and fresh jalapenos. The best thing about this choice is that if you want fries alone, go for it, but every time you want some rich, creamy queso dip you only have to dig a little further to find the real treasure. A great side that’s more than filling on its own, or works as a perfect complement to the Nashville style chicken. As refreshing sides go, the new Southern vinegar slaw with homemade dressing that’s drizzled lovingly over cabbage, carrots, and onions is just right. Elsewhere, there’s also a fresh kale salad with a dressing and fresh roasted almonds, currants and Romano cheese. Each of these makes for a great healthier choice if fries and mac ‘n’ cheese are not your desire. While we did not try it that day, there is also a Dixie chicken sandwich on the menu which we’ll be returning to try for sure, as a roasted chicken breast topped with a special Bama sauce sounds enticing enough, and it’s served with a side of coleslaw. “We just wanted to branch out and expand,” explains Rosenblatt. “We realized we needed to do something new with the menu. Our homemade tacos are still our best-seller but we also wanted to try and bring Southern fried and Nashville hot chicken to Louisville as it’s such a craze in the national market.” The last thing we tried before collapsing due to food trauma were the bacon picks, which come six to an order, and consist of exceedingly thick slices of grilled bacon served with different types of dipping sauces. On the day we visited, we tried the maple bourbon sauce made with Old Forester. It’s sticky, it’s awesome. VT Manny & Merle is situated at 122 W Main St, Louisville, KY 40202.

There are some simple rules for selecting door hardware, especially if older persons are living in the home. Select a lever handle in lieu of a rounded knob. Handles make it easier to push and open a door, rather than grabbing and turning a knob. Place viewers and peep holes at a height where everyone can see outside. Finally, if replacing address numbers, make them large enough for visitors, passersby and even someone from an automobile on the street to see. The simpler the font the easier for all.

Underfoot is yet another place to make a splash. If undercover and not subject to excessive humidity, an area rug can be placed outdoors. Dhurries, sisal mats and even painted cloth mats are good selections. Where moisture is present, outdoor mats made from recycled plastics and rubber are available in many designs to give an entrance a design splash. Changing your door's hardware can add the finishing touch to your front-door makeover. Door hardware includes everything from door handles and hinges to kick-plates and address numbers. After painting your door, you may realize something is still not looking fresh. Door hardware takes a lot of wear and tear; therefore, it should be

One last tip: A pair or a cluster of colorful pots filled with flowers and greenery make a door say welcome. If room allows, a chair or a bench is a welcoming gesture and also a great place to rest a heavy bag when opening the door.

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.

Based on Cheryl Strayed’s bestselling memoir, screenwriter Nick Hornby (author of “High Fidelity” and “About a Boy”) and director Jean-Marc Vallée (“Dallas Buyer’s Club”) have made a great film about memory through poignant narration and non-linear editing. Reese Witherspoon embodies the humanity of a soul-searching wanderer through physically and emotionally strenuous situations. Her character keeps her sanity afloat, by regularly delivering poetic literary quotations with the earnestness they require – whenever she isn’t cussing at herself for taking on such an ambitious quest.

ild” is another 2014 film, which I underestimated, and only made time to see on the big screen very late into its release. The movie has a spellbinding structure and tone, which made it one of my favorites of that year. Now it is available for home viewing, and I highly recommend it.

Her memories of life decisions and tragedies that befell her are a constant in her consciousness, as she walks the 1,100 miles of the Pacific Crest Trail. The most painful of all memories are those of her mother (Laura Dern), whose passing affected her so deeply, her life had spiraled out of control. What’s so true and beautiful about this film is how it visualizes the experience of getting far away from your everyday life can be haunting. No matter how remote a location may be, people, places and things can trigger memories and provoke self-reflection with harsh clarity. VT

Keep It Foxy

hen people talk about the best bands in Louisville during this decade, Twenty First Century Fox is always one of those mentioned. Originally created for a B-52s tribute band, Mock Lobster, the self-described “contemporary rock and roll ensemble” with the three guitars evolved into a powerfully creative noise-pop attack.

Arts & Entertainment PETER BERKOWITZ Peter’s Picks

Those guitarists - Miranda Cason, Laura Quimby and Sean Gardener – are backed by the rhythm section of bassist William Baumler and drummer Greg Ward. Together, the members have decades of experience in bands, playing in 21st century Louisville favorites such as Venus Trap, Karass, Neighbor, Bu Hao Ting, Vampire Squid and more. Finally, after a long wait, the band has completed a full-length album, “Pet Rounds”. (The title is obviously a punny play on the most classic Beach Boys album, a fact which your interviewer obliquely references below). These days, they cite guitar-rich bands from Black Sabbath to Helium as influences, though the album leans more towards the latter underrated ’90s indie band than the former ‘70s metal godfathers. The album will be celebrated with a show at Zanzabar on Saturday. Fellow rising stars Twin Limb share the bill. Special bands deserve special questions. The two members that answered these questions with dignity, fortitude and style were Cason and Baumler.

band?

William Baumler: We're all in our 20s and 30s, so ask us again in, like, 70 years.

MC: Being in a band makes me feel more human. There’s nothing like playing music with your friends! By the way, I couldn’t write that first sentence without thinking of a ‘90s reference.

Your album's title is obviously a tribute to the Yes song "Roundabout". Did you ever consider referring to a Beach Boys or Li'l Bow Wow record instead?

WB: Is that a real question? Of course we considered those. But Chris Squire plays bass with a pick, just like our bass player, so "Roundabout" was a no-brainer. Our next album is going to be heavily influence by Lil Bow Wow's song "Basketball." Which B-52s song did you most enjoy recording for this album?

I was wondering about your process. How do you write and arrange your songs? And what were the recording sessions like for this album? How did it all come together?

WB: "Safety Dance" Your release show also features a set by Twin Limb. Why don't you like any other local bands? MC: We only like to affiliate ourselves with bands that start with Tw, for the alliteration factor. It just looks better on a poster. What's it like to be a human in a

WB: The long answer is that our process is pretty haphazard. We just start with a riff or a beat and build on it, and talk about where it should go and how it should be structured. It's all very democratic. Each of us have fingerprints on all of these songs. The short answer is we drink for a few hours once or twice a week and then we have songs.

The recording sessions were great - everyone should be so lucky as to have the pleasure of working with (recording engineer) Trip Barriger (at Treehouse Audio). On several of the tracks, we recorded drums and bass first, then dubbed in the rest of the band in a second session. For the rest, we recorded live as a full band. The live recordings ended up being the smoother process of the two, on our end, but on the listening end you can't really tell a difference. VT

What is music? Miranda Cason: Emotional communication. '90s culture has begun to make a comeback. How important was that decade to your musical development? MC: We have been known to sing “No Scrubs” at the practice space. We have referenced ‘90s culture in our lyrics and some of our in-jokes are pretty ‘90s specific. I think the ‘90s were a pretty formative time for all of us in the band. I have a special place in my heart for the music of that decade.

ouisville-born actor and writer Brett Edwards has had a memorable 20 months since we last Contributing visited with him in Writer October 2013. The high point came on STEVE a movie set in San KAUFMAN Clarita, California where, with sand in his eyes and teeth, he shouted, “Dee, I’m down to two mags.” And the director, a wizened Hollywood veteran named Clint Eastwood, nodded and smiled encouragingly at the actor’s smart ad lib. “My original line was, ‘I’m out of ammo,’” Edwards says, “but a few scenes later, I’m still firing my weapon, so that wouldn’t have made sense.” The movie, of course, was Eastwood’s Oscar-nominated “American Sniper” starring Bradley Cooper. And how Edwards secured the role is just one of a series of great stories that have happened to him in the last 24 months. “My wife bought the book for me at an airport,” he recalls, “and by the time the plane landed, I was saying, ‘I have to be in this movie.’ She said, ‘How are you going to do that?’ And I laughed. ‘I have no idea.’ ” Many young actors head out to Hollywood from around the country, hoping they’ll eventually read a book, say, “I have to be in this movie,” and have major producers say to them, “When can you be available?” and “Who do you want to direct?” Cooper might be at that level now. Brett Edwards might be at that level some day soon. But Edwards has always had a clear vision of how he wants his California Dream to play out.

was picked up for distribution by the cable TV network Shorts HD.

In fact, Edwards says now, both those other parts were cut out of the final movie.

Did Simmons’ presence help get the movie noticed? “Not necessarily,” Edwards says. “Some film festivals are turned off when you have a big name. Somehow, it seems ‘less indie.’ We shot on a budget of $8,400. That’s about as ‘indie’ as you can get.”

Ah, the vagaries of the glamorous movie business. “One minute you’re sitting at home trying to figure out what you did wrong,” he recalls. “The next minute you’re on set with Bradley Cooper, being directed by Clint Eastwood.”

It was satisfying to get the recognition and validation but, Edwards says, the pay was “not so significant.” “Let me put it this way,” he says. “We didn’t make anywhere near enough to make another short for $8,400.” Then, in March, came the call from agent Michael Mogan for an audition in Clint Eastwood’s office at Warner Bros. Studio. It was for the movie he said he had to be in, the story of Navy SEAL Chris Kyle, the soldier’s four tours of combat and how his life unravels because of it. Edwards was reading for one of two parts, the role of a Delta sniper – one scene, one line – and a gate guard – one scene but five lines. “It was a fairly quick read,” Edwards recalls. “The casting agent had me read a couple times, for both parts, and gave me some direction, which is always nice. It means there’s some interest.” A month and a half passed, with no word and growing pessimism. Filming had already started.

When we talked to the Louisville native and St. X graduate in 2013, his short film, “The Heeler,” was about to be part of the Louisville Film Festival.

“Then, on a Tuesday in May, I got a call. ‘Can you get your fitting tomorrow, and be on the set on Thursday?’

The movie – an 11-minute film about bull-roping, featuring Oscar-winner J.K. Simmons – went on to win the Nevada International Film Festival, got a screening at the HollyShorts Film Festival and

“It was the part of a recon gunner, fighting on a rooftop alongside Bradley Cooper and other Marines, during a sandstorm. It wasn’t either of the parts I’d auditioned for.”

COURTESY PHOTOS

As for the glamour, Edwards spent much of the shoot in a sandstorm and is hardly recognizable on screen. But he now has Clint Eastwood on his resume. He has a high-profile, Oscar-nominated movie on that resume. And he has the pay of an actor with lines in a big-budget movie. “The pay was nice,” he allows. “It was the first big gig for me, it felt good to make a real wage in the business.” He had a brief screen appearance in the first installment of HBO’s “True Detective” anthology, the one with Woody Harrelson and Matthew McConaughey. And he has a new movie coming out this weekend: “The Longest Ride,” starring Britt Robertson, Jack Huston, Oona Chaplin, Alan Alda and, ironically, Scott Eastwood – Clint’s son. It’s directed by George Tillman Jr., who directed “Soul Food” and “Men of Honor” and produced the two “Barbershop” movies. “It’s based on a Nicholas Sparks book,” says Edwards. “I play Jared Midelton, a bull-rider.” The Internet Movie Data Base web site, imdb.com, lists him 10th from the top on the cast list. He also recently optioned “The Black Hills,” Rod Thompson’s debut novel about the Dakota Badlands, and wrote a treatment of “Lions of Kandahar,” Maj. Rusty Bradley’s account of the bloody 2006 battle with the Taliban in Southern Afghanistan. And he was married during the year to Alison, the girlfriend who bought him the book in the airport. It’s always a longshot roll, but for Brett Edwards, The California Dream persists. VT W W W . V O I C E -T R I B U N E . C O M • A P R I L 9 , 2 0 1 5
