Kentucky sure is good at a few things – horseracing and barbecue being two of them. History was made on June 6, 2015, as American Pharaoh broke the 37-year curse by winning the Triple Crown. It was a raw and emotional time, as people watched this special moment in sports. And to think it all started at our ol’ Kentucky home.

As most of us were watching the Triple Crown, our very own Igor Guryashkin took a journey to Bardstown, Ky., to check out the Bourbon City BBQ Festival. He followed a team from Louisville named Blue Chip BBQ and came home full of delicious food and tons of interesting knowledge. Not only did American Pharoah win, but also Blue Chip BBQ won the contest!

Like I said, Kentucky sure knows good food – and especially good barbecue. Igor followed the Blue Chip BBQ team, a family owned company based out of Louisville, who came out the winners of the three-day festival. I never knew how much work went into barbecuing, but I love winners, whether it’s winning barbecue recipes or winning horses.

In sports, we talk about none other than the amazing victory by American Pharoah and the owner behind the horse, Bob Baffert.

Baffert’s Q&A brought chills to me as I read it.

He dedicates and truly believes that his beloved parents, who have passed on, played a huge role in the winning.

His journey to The Triple Crown victory was long, but he finally did it. As for the trophy, you may ask? It’ll be in his theatre room filled with M&M’s.

Sadly, the UofL Cardinals baseball team didn’t have such a victorious outcome. The team was so close to getting a national title but lost against Cal State Fullerton on Monday night. I still love my Cards – you’ll get ’em next time, boys.

Father’s Day is right around the corner. I love taking my daughters to the local stores and picking out a gift for their father, Jonathan. I am lucky to not only have an incredible father, but also have picked a husband who is an awesome father to our girls. In this week’s Life, Lori’s ‘Mixing It Up’ has provided a Father’s Day gift guide that ranges from coffee mugs to new clothes. I know Jonathan always loves a practical gift from us, and this guide was helpful in the search of the perfect gift.

In this week’s business profile, we sit down with Gregg Mitchell, who is vice president of sales and marketing at Awningtec USA and also owner of a breeding horse farm in Fisherville, Ky. Gregg expresses his love for these awe-inspiring animals. At a young age, he found his passion for horses by being a caretaker at the Rock Creek Riding Club.

Coincidentally enough, we visited the Rock Creek Horse Show this past week. Spectators watched as horses and ponies strived for that first-place blue ribbon. Meanwhile, Denim and Diamonds gala was a hit, with a seated dinner, a live auction and dancing. Pairing denim and diamonds together is always going to be a good time in my book!

Mayor Greg Fischer has brought a lot of positive change to the city of Louisville. One of these changes was shown this past week, as Mayor Fischer hosted a free concert to bring attention to music and arts in the community.

Talk about great members of this community: Kent and Kathy Oyler were honored at Whitehall June 5. This came as no surprise to anyone. The Oyler family is very generous in philanthropy and service to the Louisville community. We are lucky to have them as a part of our community.

Relax and enjoy!

f you happened to have been driving through Bardstown, Ky., last weekend past the Barton distillery, heading in the direction of the Nelson County Fairgrounds, then you would’ve noticed a very distinct smell. Driving past Barton and its jet black wooden rack houses, the smell on a breezy day can fill your car with a sweet scent of caramel or praline. It’s the wonder of driving past a bourbon distillery with millions of gallons of bourbon aging just yards away. But a mile down the road, a whole other fragrance dominated the area last weekend: smoke.

June 5 and 6, the fairgrounds played host to the Bourbon City BBQ Festival, an annual barbecue competition that attracts some of the top teams from the Midwest and South to compete. For the past two years, despite heavy competition, a Louisville-based team by the name of Blue Chip BBQ has won the competition.

Started in 2009 by Charlie Jackey, along with his son Jeremy and his best friend and brother-in-law Dennis Cheatham, Blue Chip BBQ has become one of the top teams in the country.

7

“We all like to cook,” explains Charlie Jackey, who balances his hobby of competitive barbecue with his full-time plumbing job. “It also helps that we’re pretty competitive people.”

It also helps that every team member is very close.

“The team is my son and Dennis, who lives 100 yards from me,” he says.

“I never really liked [Charlie Jackey],” jokes Cheatham.

The reality is that a love of cooking for family members on weekends with the grill – and the occasional smoke – soon manifested itself into trying out competitions, during which Blue Chip BBQ honed their skills and started claiming prizes around the country. Now, wherever they travel, they do so knowing they have friends in that community, bound by their love of hog and hickory.

“Barbecue people are some of the best people you could meet,” says Charlie Jackey. “If you were competing right now and we ran out of an ingredient or had an emergency, we know we could go to another team and get help. Of course they could say, ‘Sorry, tough luck; it’s competition,’ but it’s not like that.”

And disasters have happened before – most notably, when Blue Chip missed the deadline for submitting one of their cooked meats to the judg-

es... by 3 seconds. Automatic disqualification from that category.

So what is competitive barbecuing?

Well, the principle of a barbecue competition is simple: take some meat, cook it, eat it and let some judges eat it.

They’ll score it, and then the person who cooked that meat just right is the winner. But there are more intricacies.

For example, while only the use of charcoal is required, grilling is out of the question. If you’re a competitive barbecuer, then you’re smoking your meat.

Competitions require the same meats to be prepared every time: pork, chicken, brisket and ribs, which means two things. First, each meat requires a different skill and expertise, and second, the fact that J U N E 1 1 , 2 0 1 5 • W W W . V O I C E -T R I B U N E . C O M

each meat has a different cook time means competitors are usually working through the night to get ready for the next day.

Last Friday evening at Nelson County Fairgrounds, the field was full of those cooks ready to battle. At Blue Chip, their small trailer has three inflatable mattresses and two bunks where they’ll rotate and take shifts tending to the meats while the rest of the team sleeps.

The cooking has to be timed perfectly so that the various meats can be sliced, diced and presented immaculately in a box that’s to be delivered to a judge in a 10-minute window, with a new meat scheduled to be dropped off every half hour. For the less-experienced teams, this leads to a frantic dash, running from station to smoker and back. For Blue Chip BBQ , who’ve gotten their cooking down to a precise, Swiss- watch science, the process is a little less frantic – but equally nerve-wracking. After all, the meat

still has to taste great.

In fact, watching the Jackeys and Cheatham is a little like observing a NASCAR pit crew, except a little stickier and a lot more delicious. In a way, you get to lick and taste the car. Take the ribs, for example. A little before it’s removed from the smoker, the meat is inspected by Jeremy Jackey like a soothsayer. With toothpick in hand, he tests for tenderness, looking carefully at each strip of meat between the bone for any sign of weakness. When it’s eventually removed, the sauce (already being heated inside the trailer) is applied with gentle strokes by the elder Jackey, while Cheatham heats and stirs the sauce.

From three giant slabs of ribs, six individual ribs are selected and placed gently like newborn chicks on a bed of fresh parsley, lined up with exquisite symmetry. When it’s deemed perfect, it’s Cheatham’s job to run down to the judges booth.

Assessing based on presentation and taste (and a few other aspects), judges have a difficult yet enviable task: Eat meat; then eat more meat and then pick the best one. But it’s inside their certified mouths that the fate of teams’ meats rests, and taste is not the only measure of quality. Tiny differences can become magnified under the spotlight of competition – perhaps the way the skin falls off the meat, or whether the meat falls

off the bone. For Blue Chip BBQ , the main hope is to get lucky with a judge who knows his stuff, as opposed to one who’s there to simply enjoy the food.

“If [the judge] has a cooler, they’re an eater,” jokes Charlie Jackey.

As in all barbecue competitions, all judging is done blind, and no judge is supposed to taste the same team’s food twice. So the fact that Blue Chip BBQ has won two years running is immeasurably impressive. With all the food in, they’re gunning for a third. Already declared state champions on a number of occasions, the Jackeys and Cheatham want to earn enough points this year to be invited to the Super Bowl of barbeJ U N E 1 1 , 2 0 1 5 • W W W .

cue competitions: The Jack Daniels World Championship Invitational Barbecue – or known in competition circles simply as “The Jack.” Blue Chip has never won but has been invited twice before and would like to return.

By 4 p.m., the tent at the back of the fairgrounds is full. Every team, now a couple of hours removed from competition and finished cleaning their sauce-covered trailers, looks in need of a beer, or is already in the midst of sipping on one. It was time for the scores to be announced.

It’s around this time, as Jeremy Jackey explains, that the team gets nervous, especially if they start placing highly – which they often do. Humble as they might be,

“First place in chicken goes to...” belts the announcer.

Pause.

“Blue Chip BBQ.” It’s the biggest celebration of the day, as the Jackeys and Cheatham fist bump and pump before going up to collect their check and plaque.

It’s during the time of announcements that you really start realizing how hard these people work, not only on their BBQ but on their team name as well. Some teams choose to go for something sedate – Rice Brothers being one example. But others know they can plump for names more daring and, frankly, groan-worthy. Eat More Butts is a good example, as is Rub One Out BBQ , a slightly naughtier selection. Elsewhere, Midget Mountain BBQ is a bit more inexplicable.

Back to the results as pork and ribs get called out: two fifth places, which means Blue Chip is likely in the lead. But with the aforementioned Rice Brothers closing in, Jeremy Jackey tries to stay poised.

“I don’t want to say it, in case I jinx it,” he says, nervously kicking his leg in a chair, “but we’re in a good position.”

When the final category is announced, a second place pretty much assures overall victory, and the actual win becomes a mere formality. When their name is finally called out, Blue Chip BBQ – Charlie and Jeremy Jackey and Dennis Cheatham – are proclaimed champions for a third year running, notching their highest score ever in competition.

They’ll be back in contention June 12-13 at the seventh annual Jeffersonville Smokin’ on the River BBQ Festival. They’ve never won there, but there’s a first time for everything for the kings of Kentucky barbecue. VT

n his early 20s, Gregg Mitchell loved being a caretaker at Rock Creek Riding Club. Bonding with the awe-inspiring animals that passed through those stables made the grueling work, long hours and low pay worth it.

At least, it did until he found something he loved even more than horses.

Her name: Gretchen.

“I knew having a family was above everything else what I wanted,” he explains. “Knowing I couldn’t raise a family doing that, I knew I needed to find myself ‘a real job.’”

So he did. With the help of someone he knew through Rock Creek, he landed a job at KFC. He left the stables, though he knew he’d never abandon his love for horses or the sport. Case in point: Gregg took Gretchen to a World’s Championship Horse Show for their second date to test whether she shared his passion.

“I had to know she could weather this,” he says.

She not only weathered his hobby; she “thrived.”

Gregg proposed three months later, and the couple married six months after that.

“I knew she was the one,” he says.

Gretchen agrees.

“It’s an expensive hobby,” says Gregg, acknowledging: “Until I make a profit, it’s just a hobby. It takes time to build up.”

He knows the potential is there.

He’s been following bloodlines and breeding with established lines, like the sire Sir William Roberts out of a farm in Shelbyville.

“A guy like me can get lucky by taking a risk, maybe have himself a world champion,” he says. “You just keep scratching, like a lotto ticket.”

Even if nothing comes of it, he appreciates the bonds he forms with the animals, which he sees everyday.

“I see them every day,” he says. “I think that’s my biggest advantage; they are in my backyard. They come when I call. That rela-

They get along well, and they’re good, hard workers.

I’m a very proud dad.”

tionship helps. It’s just like with children, each one is different in its own right. You prepare them as appropriately as you can.”

He also sees the value in having raised his children around horses.

“It teaches them responsibility,” he says.

“They are relying on you. At the same time, it’s also a lot of fun.”

That much was evident last weekend. On a perfect early summer evening, when most children would be angling to do anything other than spend time with their parents, Ellis and Isabel were happily sitting with theirs in a box at the 78th annual Rock Creek Horse Show.

(Eldest daughter Alaina lives in New York City.)

“One thing I appreciate is that this is a common denominator,” says Gregg, noting the different ages and backgrounds of all the attendees. “You can be a millionaire; you can not be.

It doesn’t make a bit of difference. Here, everyone’s shoes are dirty. You just have fun with it.”

Together, the family watched the competitions, chatting along the way about their favorite markings on the horses, the strategies of the riders, and who might be their friendly competition down the line. All the while, in the family’s view, just past the track, loomed the house where Gregg used to live when he was a caretaker.

Gregg can’t help but smile at how far – and how full circle – his life has come in three decades. “I consider myself a very lucky person.” VT

“He used to come into my work, and I would tell all my coworkers, ‘I want a guy like that.’

That’s what we called him, ‘Guy Like That.’”

Twenty-nine years later, the Mitchells are still happily married. They have three children: Alaina, 25, Ellis, 23, and Isabel, 15.

“When I had kids, it was everything I expected and more,” says Gregg. “They keep me grounded and give me focus. They get along well, and they’re good, hard workers. I’m a very proud dad.”

Gregg is vice president of sales and marketing at Awningtec USA, after having worked his way up through KFC and Yum! Brands.

He’s also the owner of a burgeoning 3-yearold breeding farm in Fisherville, Ky. It has five saddlebreds, one of which the Mitchells are hoping can be competitive at the prestigious

62ND ANNUAL WHAS CRUSADE FOR CHILDREN TOPS $5.6 MILLION The final tote board tallied $5,674,721 at the close of the 62nd annual WHAS Crusade for Children.

ACE MENTOR PROGRAM AWARDS SCHOLARSHIP TO TRINITY HIGH STUDENT

The 30-hour Internet/radio/telethon kicked off with a magical variety show headlined by comedy magician Mac King and hosted by WHAS11’s Melissa Swan and 840 WHAS radio’s Terry Meiners on June 6.

The Louisville affiliate of the ACE Mentor Program awarded this year’s scholarship to graduating Trinity High School senior Andrew Volkovitsky and announced that alumni Cody Binder (class of 2013), Patrick Heeb (2012) and Mitch Sirianno (2013) would have their scholarships renewed for the coming year.

“We’re thrilled that the wonderful people of Kentuckiana stepped up once again to help children with special needs in our community by contributing so generously to the 62nd annual WHAS Crusade for children. It’s an annual miracle,” said WHAS Crusade for Children President and CEO Dawn Lee.

Founded in 1994, the ACE name stands for Architecture, Construction and Engineering. The ACE program mentors high school students and inspires them to pursue careers in design and construction. It’s now the construction industry’s fastest-growing high school mentoring program, reaching more than 8,000 students annually.

ready to ride. Whether you’re looking to ride on the road, through the mountains or in triathlons – and whether you’re an all-out cyclist or a beginner on a budBusiness get – CycleSmith’s is Profile bound to have what you need. There’s everything WES from a line of bikes with bamboo frames to cusKERRICK tom “dream” bikes, assembled piece-by-piece.

That’s just the way it is at CycleSmith’s Bicycle Shop: what you see is what you get.

Which is exactly how you want it to be, whenever you see, among a surprisingly vast selection, just what you want.

At CycleSmith’s you’ll be greeted like a friend, no matter who you are.

“People usually pick a personality they like and a shop vibe that they like, so we try to create good vibes,” says owner Rick Smith.

In a city dotted with bike shops, CycleSmith’s niche is that it doesn’t have a niche. “What I’ve tried to do here is make an environment to where anybody can walk in and get service,” Smith says.

At 3928 Shelbyville Rd. in St. Matthews, the two-story shop boasts more than 200 bikes on display and

When you bring your bike to CycleSmith’s for a tuneup or repair, they’ll typically have it ready the next day. CycleSmith’s approach to maintenance is equally as accommodating as the range of bikes it sells.

“If you come in with a department store bike, we will work on it,” Smith says. “We will not turn our nose up; we will not act like elitists.

It’s totally cool. We will help you fix your bike.”

Smith could act like an elitist if he wanted to. He’s not only a veteran bike mechanic and avid, versatile cyclist himself; he’s received special training in the science of bike fitting, which helps cyclists get their bikes configured just right for their optimal efficiency and health. He got the training at three separate week-long classes in Northern California.

Customers come from around Kentucky for fittings – and from Indiana, Ohio and Tennessee.

When Smith opened the store nearly four years ago, he’d already established a loyal following.

The Radcliff, Ky., native had landed his first job at a bike shop in 1998 and worked off-and-on in the business over the ensuing years.

After a brief stint in New Orleans, Smith had moved back to Kentucky.

Already a cycling enthusiast, he’d known he wanted to live in an urban setting, and Louisville was close to his hometown. So in Louisville, he’d

work at one bike shop for about four years and then helped start and manage another.

In the 11 months leading up to CycleSmith’s, Smith’s first shop of his own – also called CycleSmith’s – had been cramped in a 500-squarefoot room in Prospect. Starting his own business had required selling most everything he owned – including his condo – and sleeping on an air mattress in the store.

Determined to succeed, Smith “did a lot of reading about being smart with finances,” he recalls. “...I also looked a lot at what the people I grew up working for did – how they were so successful, and how they kept their lives stress-free.”

For Smith, the key to a relaxed, happy life – both on and off the job – is to simplify.

“Any time I’ve kind of de-cluttered, it’s always felt better,” he says.

So he keeps the shop organized.

He also keeps it modern.

“I’ve really tried to bring this place up to speed,” he says, “from the color palette to the lighting to the flooring to the racks that the bikes are displayed on.”

Now Smith is seeing the payoff of his sacrifices and hard work. CycleSmith’s has been bringing Smith greater profits every year. And he’s able to pay his employees well.

But at the end of the day, Smith has always just wanted to enjoy life, which is what attracted him to the bike business in the first place.

“It starts out definitely not about the money,” he says. “It’s all about the lifestyle – whether it be that we can wear whatever we want to work every day, casual clothes, or that we don’t have to be uptight or act a certain way. People can just come here and work and be themselves, and it’s totally cool.” VT For more information, call 502.632.1585, email cyclesmiths502@gmail.com or visit cyclesmiths.com.

UofL Extends Pitino’s Contract Through ’25-’26

T

he University of Louisville has extended the contract of men’s basketball coach Rick Pitino four years, boosting his association with the Cardinals through the 2025-26 season.

The first coach in NCAA history to win a national title at two different schools and the first to take three different teams to the Final Four, Pitino, 62, had seven years remaining on his current contract, which had tied him with the Cardinals through the 2021-22 season.

In 30 seasons as a collegiate head coach at five different schools, Pitino has compiled a 722-254 record, a .740 winning percentage that ranks him 11th among active coaches. He has a 368-126 record in 14 seasons at UofL, the third winningest coach in Cardinal history. UofL is among the nations’ top 10 programs in winning percentage under his guidance.

“Continuity is a huge part of the success in our athletic department,” said UofL director of athletics Tom Jurich. “When we get great people, we want to keep them. Age is just a number. He has more passion now than at any time in his career, his players truly love him, and he has been so important to our community and university. We couldn’t be more proud to have him as our coach.”

Pitino was inducted into the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame in 2013, lofty recognition for a lifetime of impressive basketball achievement. His up-tempo style, pressure defense, strong work ethic and family atmosphere have restored the Cardinals to national prominence, where it is firmly seated.

His most recent Cardinals reached the program’s fifth Elite Eight in the last eight years and played its first season in the Atlantic Coast Conference, finishing fourth among a league with five teams in the nation’s top 25, including NCAA Champion Duke. Pitino won his 700th game along the way.

Pitino guided the Cardinals to the 2013 NCAA Championship after claiming the nation’s top overall seed in the NCAA tournament and winning the Big East Conference regular season co-championship and tournament titles. The Cardinals won a school-record 35 games while claiming their first NCAA title in 27 years. UofL reached its second straight and 10th Final Four, marking Pitino’s seventh, a total reached by only six coaches in history.

A 2006 inductee to the New York City Hall of Fame, Pitino has the second-highest winning percentage in NCAA tournament games among active coaches, winning 74.6 percent of his games in the post-season event with a 53-18 record in 20 tournament appearances.

Pitino’s impact on the UofL program has gone well beyond his on-court success. The overall GPA of the men’s basketball team in recent years has set record figures, and the Cardinals received an NCAA Public Recognition Award in the latest Academic Progress Rate, P H O T O B Y C H R I S H U M P H R E Y S | T H E V O I C E -T R I B U N E

with a perfect score. The Cardinals earned a collective 3.26 GPA for 2014-15, and the team has produced around a 3.0 or better GPA for 14 consecutive semesters. Louisville placed a league-high seven individuals on the 21-member 2015 ACC All-Academic Team.

For 3 1/2 years, Pitino served as president and head coach of the NBA’s Boston Celtics.

With the Celtics, he took over a team that had posted a franchise worst 15-67 record before his arrival. He quickly made an impact, improving the Celtics’ victory total by 21 games in his first season. He resigned from the storied franchise in 2001 after compiling a 102-146 record there.

In his last five years at Kentucky, Pitino guided the team to three NCAA Final Four appearances, winning the 1996 NCAA Championship and reaching the national title game in 1997. In eight seasons with the Wildcats, he amassed a 219-50 record (.814) while winning two league crowns and an impressive 17-1 record in the Southeastern Conference Tournament. VT

Hagan and Issel Top the List, but Don’t Forget Riley

L Catnip STEVE KAUFMAN

ast week, in advance of the NBA draft, I started my list of the 10 top pro careers of former UK players: Ron Mercer, Odie Smith, Rex Chapman, Antoine Walker, Jamal Mashburn and Frank Ramsey.

4. Louie Dampier (UK, 1964-1967, Adolph Rupp; 1967-1979, Kentucky, San Antonio) I devoted an entire column several weeks ago to Dampier, the all-time greatest scorer in the American Basketball Association – and the cog on the Kentucky Colonels 1975 ABA champions. He averaged 19 points per game in his nine ABA seasons, making 36 percent of his three-point shots. In March 1968, he scored 54 points in a single game against the Pacers. Dampier is finally being recognized by the Basketball Hall of Fame.

Louie Dampier.

Cliff Hagan.

Alex Groza.

Dan Issel.

3. Alex Groza (UK, 1944; 1946-1949, Rupp; 1949-1951, Indianapolis) Perhaps a controversial selection. After all, he played only two professional seasons. But what a couple of seasons they were. He averaged 22.5 points per game. He was a first-team All Star both seasons. He led the 1951 West team with 17 points and 13 rebounds in the only all-star game he played. Then came October 1951.

Groza, Ralph Beard and Dale Barnstable were swept into the gambling investigation that had been roiling college basketball for 10 months. They were charged with accepting gamblers’ bribes, not to lose games on purpose but to win games by less than the spread – point shaving. They were given suspended sentences, but Groza’s pro career was over. In today’s world, a good lawyer and the players union might trim the penalty to a year.

2. Cliff Hagan (UK, 1950-1954, Rupp; 1956-1966, St. Louis, Dallas) The college hookshot artist became a classic pro small forward, a good enough shooter to average 18 points per game, a good-enough rebounder to average double figures in his best years, though only 6-foot-4. He averaged 28 per game in the playoffs when the Hawks won their only franchise NBA title in 1958 over the Boston Celtics (the only title the Celtics would lose between 1957 and 1966). Ironically, Hagan was drafted

by Boston but traded to St. Louis for the draft rights to Bill Russell. Though an annual all-star, Hagan played a secondary role to legendary big man Bob Pettit on the Hawks. At Kentucky, he played a secondary role to nobody. There is an oft-told story that, in 1953, seldom-used Willie Rouse hit a basket. He returned to the bench expecting praise from Coach Rupp. Instead, Rupp said: “Son, there are 12,500 people here and not a one of them came to see you shoot. They came to see you give the ball to Mr. Hagan so Mr. Hagan can shoot.”

1. Dan Issel (UK, 1966-1970, Rupp; 1970-1985, Kentucky, Denver) The 1970 college draft included the likes of Bob Lanier and Pete Maravich, but Issel was the Big Kahuna that got away from the NBA. He opted to stay in Kentucky and play for the ABA Colonels (that season with Dampier and for coaches Groza and Frank Ramsey). He led the ABA in scoring his rookie year and averaged 26 points per game in his five seasons with the Colonels. His NBA years were not as productive, if you consider a 20.4 scoring average unproductive. For his 15 pro years, he averaged 22.6 and was a seven-time first-team all-pro.

The Hall-of-Famer still stands 10th on the list of all career scorers and second all-time in the ABA. I can’t leave this without talking about Pat Riley (class of 1967), arguably the most famous and successful of all the Wildcats in the professional ranks. He stumbled through seven NBA seasons, averaging 7.4 per game, injured much of the time. But a series of happenstances brought him first to the Lakers broadcast booth in 1977, then to the bench as an assistant coach in 1979 and finally to the top spot in 1981. An unlikely pick, he coached the Showtime Lakers to four NBA championships in the 80s, the muscular New York Knicks of Patrick Ewing and Charles Oakley to the NBA finals in 1994 and the Miami Heat to the 2006 championship with Dwayne Wade, Shaquile O’Neal and ex-Cats Antoine Walker and Derek Anderson.

Along the way, he changed trends in men’s hairstyles, shirt collars and neckties and made Armani a regular sports page reference. He blended right into the celebrity culture scene, whether in Hollywood, New York or Miami.

Pat Riley.

In 1987, he was offered a starring role in the movie “Tequila Sunrise,” opposite Mel Gibson and Michelle Pfeiffer. He turned it down, and the part went to Kurt Russell, who was required to wear his hair slicked back, Riley-style.

Down for Now But Not Out

t's still hard to say exactly how it happened, but the Louisville baseball team saw its season end with a 4-3 extra inning loss to Cal State Fullerton Monday night. No Omaha, no College World Series, no national championship pursuit.

MIKE RUTHERFORD @cardchronicle

This should rank right near the top of heartbreaking season-ending losses for Louisville athletic teams for a handful of reasons: you've got a remarkably controversial call, you've got a feeling that Louisville was never really in danger until that call happened, and then you have the fact that this Cardinal team could have won a national title. Add all that together and it's understandable to still be hurting as ESPN begins to ramp up its coverage of the 2015 College World Series.

Regardless of whether David Olmedo-Barrera's game-winning home run was fair or foul (it was foul), one game doesn't change what the Louisville baseball team did this season.

Of all the major athletic programs at UofL facing a hike in competition thanks to the move to the ACC, it was Dan McDonnell's diamond Cardinals who seemed to be staring at the steepest fresh uphill climb. Loaded with teams from warm-weather areas who can play the sport year-round, the ACC has long been a baseball powerhouse. The conference churns P H O T O B Y C H R I S H U M P H R E Y S | T H E V O I C E -T R I B U N E

out more Major League talent than any conference this side of the SEC and has sent at least seven teams to the NCAA Tournament in every year since 2007. Being located in recruiting fertile areas allows programs like Miami, Florida State and North Carolina to stock their rosters with handfuls of the top young pitchers in the country, one of the biggest keys to success in a sport which revolves around threegame weekend series.

The days of Louisville baseball dominating its conference were supposed to be long gone, with the days of the Cards hoping to ride a solid strength of schedule into the NCAA Tournament all set to take their place. Not so much. UofL didn't just compete with the best in their first ACC season; they didn't just win the league's regular season title outright, they set a conference record by winning 25 games and all 10 of their weekend series. That success resulted in a No. 3 overall seed for the NCAA Tournament, the highest in program history, and a trip to the Super Regionals for the fifth time under McDonnell.

Having said all that, it's still pretty clear what the next step for Cardinal baseball is.

Winning conference titles and advancing to super regionals are always going to be accomplishments worth puffing your chest out for, but great success brings even greater expectations. McDonnell and company are well aware that their fan base is desperate to see the Cards make a deep College World Series

run in the near future.

That future could be sooner than you'd think.

College baseball programs typically exist in three-year cycles. First, you bring in an elite crop of youngsters and throw them directly into the fire and hope they can rise to the occasion. In year two, you hope that those players have accrued the experience necessary to compete for a conference title and maybe make a run in the NCAA Tournament. Year three is the year. That's when you shoot for Omaha and, if you're among the nation's elite, a national title. After that, all your key juniors and seniors head off to play the game for pay and you begin the cycle all over again.

The funny thing about the past two seasons for Louisville is that they were supposed to be years one and two of the cycle. The last "big year" was 2013, and the Cards weren't expected to be a major player on the national scene again until 2016.

Two of Louisville's three starting pitchers will be back next season, including cleanup hitter and College Baseball News National Freshman of the Year Brendan McKay. Leading hitter Corey Ray will be a junior with All-American expectations, and regional MVP Devin Hairston will hope to carry the momentum from his stellar postseason into his sophomore year. Nick Solak, Will Smith, Logan Taylor, and Zack Burdi? All back as well.

Guys like Kyle Funkhouser and Sutton Whiting did incredible things for this program and will be sorely missed next season, but Louisville baseball isn't going anywhere. VT W W W . V O I C E -T R I B U N E . C O M • J U N E 1 1 , 2 0 1 5

T

he question has been answered, once and for all.

Yes, it’s possible to sweep three extraordinary races in five weeks and win the Triple Crown.

Yes, North America does produce horses that can navigate the Belmont’s rarely-run distance of a mile and a half.

general, and has prompted more than a few scribes and talking heads to consider the notion that Thoroughbred racing might not be as dead as they’d proclaimed it to be.

Horse Sense JOHN ASHER

And, yes, a special horse is required to complete that extraordinary task last accomplished 37 years ago.

That horse is American Pharoah.

People throughout Kentucky and Southern Indiana – along with 90,000 people at New York’s Belmont Park and countless others across North America – engaged in an extraordinary group hug and a sustained and jubilant cheer early Sunday evening when Pharoah, the determined winner of the Kentucky Derby who had cruised in the Preakness at Baltimore’s Pimlico Race Course, pulled clear in the homestretch at Belmont Park for an easy victory in the “The Test of the Champion.”

With his run at Belmont, American Pharoah finally increased the number of Triple Crown winners to a dozen. The last had been Affirmed in 1978, the last of a run of success in the 70s that also added the legendary Secretariat to the roster of Triple Crown winners in 1973 and Seattle Slew, the only unbeaten horse to sweep the series, in 1977.

With Pharoah’s victory, the first Triple Crown winner of the social media age trended through weekend on Twitter, was the subject of radio and TV sports shows for days and became a Sports Illustrated cover boy with an image of his historic run being recorded not only by the photographer, but by a sea of handheld smartphones.

Thirty-seven years was an extraordinarily long wait, both for lifelong racing fans and those of the more casual variety.

What made it frustrating was that 13 horses had marched into the Belmont Stakes with the possibility of completing the sweep, and all had failed. The streak had started with a loss in the 1979 Belmont Stakes by Spectacular Bid, a setback as inexplicable as America Pharoah’s clunker in his career debut.

For many, unbeaten Smarty Jones and Big Brown had seemed as close to Triple Crown “sure things” as ever existed. But Smarty Jones, pressured by three different horses at different stages of the Belmont, couldn’t hold off victorious Birdstone’s last challenge. And Belmont Day was cruel to Big Brown, who failed to finish, though he wasn’t injured or in obvious distress.

But after nearly four decades of frustration, owner Ahmed Zayat’s homebred son of Pioneerof the Nile won the Belmont Stakes and the Triple Crown in the most time-honored and basic way. He was the best horse of a strong group of three-year-olds, and he went to the front and stayed there.

Numbers are an important part of this Belmont: Bob Baffert earned his first Triple Crown after having failed in a record three previous attempts; jockey Victor Espinoza tasted his first sweep; American Pharoah’s winning streak is now at a lucky seven; and

his new career goal is to complete the year in the Breeders’ Cup Classic, which is worth $5 million (a very good number) and will be run at Kentucky’s Keeneland Race Course for the first time.

But after the Belmont, I love this set of numbers most: 24.06, :24.77, :24:58, 24.58, :24.34 and :24.32.

Those are the quarter-mile times run in succession by American Pharoah in the Belmont Stakes. Notice how steady those fractional times are and, most importantly, look at the times for the first quarter and the last.

Yes, he ran the last quarter mile faster than he’d covered the first. The final race time of 2:26.65 was the sixth-fastest in Belmont history. Among Triple Crown winners, it was second only to Secretariat’s earth-shattering 2:24.

In the racing business, that kind of time in a front-running masterpiece is called “race horse time.”

And American Pharoah is all race horse.

There will be efforts now to try to determine where Pharoah fits in the elite ranks of Triple Crown winners, but pay no attention to those people. There’s no way to accurately measure that – and, more to the point, there’s no need.

Each of the previous Triple Crown winners was a remarkable and accomplished athlete, and it seems that fate required that any horse who joined the fraternity must also be extraordinary.

American Pharoah deserves to be in that club – and that’s all the analysis required.

Zayat, Baffert and Espinoza have been on a ride with the right horse at the right time – a horse that was very much worth the wait. VT

It might not be your grandfather’s world, with horses like Citation, Omaha, Whirlaway or the trio of ’70s Triple Crown heroes.

But American Pharoah took possession of the age of instant data, 24-hour news cycles and selfie sticks with five weeks of excellence.

Pharoah’s victories extended his winning streak to seven major races since finishing fifth in his debut at Southern California’s Del Mar – a run that was mysterious before but now seems downright impossible following his Triple Crown tour de force. He’s the toast of American racing and the sports world in P H OTO S B Y R E E D PA L M E R | C H U R C H I L L D O W N S

Churchill Downs' Todd Herl affixed a gold crown next to American Pharoah's name in the Churchill Downs paddock to reflect his new status as Triple Crown winner.

American Pharoah, Triple Crown Worth The Wait

Sports

Baffert Makes History

Finally! American Pharoah cruised to a five and a half length win in the Belmont Stakes to claim the Triple Crown. It snapped a 37-year drought. Not since Affirmed in 1978 had a horse managed to win the Kentucky Derby, Preakness Stakes and Belmont Stakes over the course of a grueling five-week stretch. Trainer Bob Baffert had won the Derby and Preakness with Silver Charm in 1997, Real Quiet in 1998 and War Emblem in 2002, only to come up short in the “Test of the Champion.” Even the great Point Given could only win the first two legs of the crown in 2001. That all changed on a sunny Saturday late afternoon at Belmont Park as American Pharoah went right to the lead and never gave it up. He outran the ghosts of failed Triple Crown tries and in doing so, gave Baffert a signature accomplishment in what was already a Hall of Fame career. American Pharoah returned to Churchill Downs last Sunday and will be paraded before the crowd during this Saturday’s Stephen Foster Handicap night racing card.

Yeah, and Billy Turner has someone to talk to now, that poor guy. I saw him the other day and he said, “Have you figured it out yet?” I said, “You know, you’d think the fourth time, you’d figure it out.” At the end of the day, you have to have a Seattle Slew-type horse to do it. There are no excuses. Either they do it, or they can’t do it.

It’s ironic, but Pioneerof the Nile, whom you trained to a second place finish in the 2009 Kentucky Derby, the sire of American Pharoah, might be the biggest winner here?

Pioneerof the Nile, I still have a couple of breedings in him, and he’s just showing that he’s gonna be a great sire. One thing about these sires: You can’t make them, and you can’t stop them. It’s pretty impressive. As a matter of fact, we just bred Indian Blessing, my champion. She’s in foal to Pioneerof the Nile, so hopefully we’ll get another one. She’s fast, and he’s getting some good action. American Pharoah is going to get a lot better action. What a way to award your champions: action.

Have you ever had a horse that you’ve brought out for people to pet, like you do with him?

Well, he’s petable; most of them are not.

Point Given was just big, and he wouldn’t let anybody near him like that. But he’s a sweet horse. He enjoys it; he likes human contact.

I’m older now, I’m chilled out and I just want

to enjoy him. I remember when I was coming up in the business, and Bill Mott had Cigar.

He had him out there, and I asked Bill if I could see him, and he showed him to me, and I was petting him. I was a like a little kid, I was like: Wow, look at him. I was just in awe of him. I always thought: If I ever have a really good horse like that, I want to share him with the people, because I know how I felt. We really work hard, but we love the animals, and when you see something special, you want to really get up close, personal with them.

What do you expect on Saturday night at Churchill Downs, with all the horse racing fans in Louisville who have been waiting to for this moment?

I think it should be a pretty good reception. I just wasn’t prepared for that. When that horse won, I was not prepared. I was still numb. For some reason, I still think it’s a spiritual thing – I think my parents had something to do with it. That’s why this horse has been so special to me. He’s turned me into a big softy, crybaby at times.

How strange was it to have Elliott Walden on the same team, after what Victory Gallop did to you in 1998?

Victory Gallop, he just came and got us there at that last jump. He had a bad trip in the Derby. Those were two horses just battling, battling. The Triple Crown is basically the superior 3-year-old. You have to have a superior 3-year-old that is just way better than the rest. That’s what he’s proven. We always thought he was just a different caliber of horse.

The Belmont was the best race I’ve ever seen him run. I was worried about the mile and a half, and it was just nothing for him. He could be – there’s no telling, nobody knows if he’ll make a good sire or not.

A lot of people have those $2 win tickets – you were signing some earlier.

What’s a souvenir you’re taking from Belmont Park?

The souvenir is ... one of those Triple Crown trophies. I think I’m just going to fill it up with M&M Peanuts, keep it in the theater room. VT W W W . V O I C E -T R I B U N E . C O M • J U N E 1 1 , 2 0 1 5

achievable goal.”

As a young boy, Polak had dreams of playing soccer professionally, but he didn’t fully anticipate how realized those dreams would turn out to be.

“I always thought about how cool it would be to play over in Europe for the big clubs,” Polak says. The realization hit in 2010 in his junior year of college when his team won the National Championship and his individual achievements caught the attention of some MLS clubs.

Polak says that acknowledgment really sparked his desire to play soccer for a living.

“My belief in myself grew, and I realized that playing professionally had become an J U N E 1 1 , 2 0 1 5 • W W W . V O I C E -T R I B U N E . C O M

Polak has been instrumental in both the regular season and in the US Open Cup (USOC). He came up big when it counted in a game against Saint Louis on May 27.

The resulting goal equalized the score at 3-3 and kept Louisville ahead in the Kings’ Cup.

Polak came on as a sub in the game against Saint Louis with the score at 3-2 in the opponents’ favor.

“It’s always important as a sub to come in and provide a spark that can help our team push for a goal,” he explains. “The squad out on the field were playing well and battling like always, and I wanted to come on and bring a little bit extra with fresh legs.”

Polak was able to provide that needed spark when Louisville got a free kick off a foul at the top of the 18-yard box. With the aid of some quick setup by midfielder Juan Guzman, Polak was able to get a hard shot off to the far side of the net, and just like that, the game was tied. Louisville was able to avoid a loss and walked away with a well-earned point thanks to Polak’s quick thinking and hard work.

26

Polak’s talents haven’t been limited to the USL circuit though. He also scored the game-winning goal in a crucial USOC match-up pitting Louisville against Indy Eleven. The game had been scoreless in regulation and moved into extra time when Polak connected with a shot just outside the 18-yard box. The ball sailed right past the Indy keeper’s fingers, and just like that, Nate Polak went from being labeled “talented teammate” to “clutch player.”

While Polak has seen quite a bit of media attention in recent weeks, he is quick to share the accolades with his teammates. “Those two goals were at important times in each game,” he says, “but what’s most important is the guys around me that are working unbelievably hard to put themselves and other players in good spots for a goal. We work hard for each other every day, and the goal is to get results.”

Polak has enjoyed the amazing support at Louisville’s home games so far, and expressed his gratitude to all the fans. “I am thankful for the opportunity to play for this club and our amazing fans.” As for how he plans to help the team get more wins in the future?

“In any way possible.” VT

Amy Kessler, CASA board member Kent Blake and Herman Kessler at the 2014 event.

Wife of Transgender Husband Refuses to Get Counseling I have also lost several loved ones, and although I was as sad about these losses as anyone else, I was never able to shed tears over it.

DEAR ABBY: Two years ago, I came out as male-to-female transgender. My wife has come around since then, and our second child will be born before I start my transition.

She has decided to stay with me, but occasionally she tells me she isn't sure if she can be married to a woman. On the other hand, she says she doesn't want to have to share custody of our children.

Dear Abby JEANNE PHILLIPS

I have urged her to talk to a therapist, because she gets a few free sessions from her job. Because she doesn't like people knowing about her problems, she steadfastly refuses. I'm not sure what else to do. I won't make her stay if she can't handle it, but I refuse to tell her I'll give her full custody. -LIVING MY TRUTH IN THE EAST DEAR LIVING: If your wife prefers, out of concern for her privacy, not to talk to a therapist who's connected with her job, that is her choice.

But that does not mean she shouldn't get counseling elsewhere to help her make rational decisions about her future. A support group that could also be helpful to her is the Straight Spouse Network (straightspouse.org), which has been mentioned before in my column.

As for you, my friend, you should consult a lawyer who specializes in family law and gender issues. Lambda Legal (lambdalegal.org) should be able to refer you. With help, you should be able to work out a fair and reasonable custody arrangement, should it become necessary.

••• DEAR ABBY: I'm attending a close friend's bachelorette party and have confirmed that having it in an adult club is "a priority" for her. I'm uncomfortable with the idea of entering such an establishment because it goes against my personal beliefs. We are all staying with friends, so I can't just head back to my hotel room or go home. How can I excuse myself from this part of the event without causing too much trouble for anyone? -READY NOT TO PARTY DEAR READY NOT TO PARTY: Because all of the bachelorettes will be out of town and you prefer not to attend the "main event," level with the bride about your feelings, give her your regrets, wish her well and stay home.

••• DEAR ABBY: I'm a 73-year-old man. Over the years I have sometimes cried over sad, heartwarming stories in books or on TV, especially those involving children.

Why do I cry over things that don't pertain to me or anybody in my life, but can't when someone I love passes away? Is something wrong with me? -TEARLESS IN WICHITA

DEAR TEARLESS: Tears can be cathartic, but people react to death in different ways. Not everyone can cry on cue, even if it would be a relief to be able to. Sometimes there's just a deep "ache," like lead in one's chest.

In your case, it may be less painful or threatening to cry over a sad movie than a funeral. When tears finally come (usually over something less significant), they can be more copious than one would expect because they have been bottled up.

••• DEAR ABBY: Several months after I had my first daughter from a six-year relationship that ended sadly, I started flirting with a married man.

(I realize now that I was still heartbroken and trying desperately to forget my ex.) The flirtation turned into a full-blown affair that resulted in another child. Her father isn’t in the picture because the now-ex-wife (who still lives with him) forbids him from having any contact whatsoever with our daughter.

I admit I have lied by telling my little girl that her daddy is a workaholic, and that’s the reason he doesn’t see her when she asks about him. She is now 4. How or when do I tell her the truth?

Would counseling help? -- ON THE SPOT IN CALIFORNIA DEAR ON THE SPOT: You didn’t mention whether your former lover is contributing financially to the support of his daughter, but if he isn’t, please make sure he does. An attorney can help, and so can the child-support agency in your state.

And yes, it would also be a good idea to discuss this with a counselor to help you communicate to your daughter, in a way that’s age-appropriate and won’t damage her self-esteem, that Daddy won’t be in the picture. It’s important she knows she can trust her mother to give honest answers when she asks a question, because if she doubts it, it may create problems when she’s older.

Lauren Ledene

Operations Manager at Anabel’s Oriental Rugs WHAT DO YOU LOVE ABOUT FASHION? Everything. ... I love working in design, because I can kind of bring my fashion sense along with it. ... If you can coordinate and put an outfit together, then you can help somebody find a rug to showcase in their room.

So it kind of goes hand in hand.

WHAT OUTFITS AND ACCESSORIES ARE YOU INTO RIGHT NOW? I love statement necklaces and really bold patterns. ... This summer, my go-to will be a long maxi dress. It’s comfortable, and it’s easy to put on.

You can just wear jewelry with it and you’re ready to go. At work though, I’m a lot more conservative and more professional. I’ll do a brightly colored shirt with a black pant. I still stay fun, but I usually use jewelry to accessorize and make my outfit look a little more put together.

WHERE DO YOU LOVE TO SHOP? I shop at Express a lot, especially now that I have to look more professional. They have really good suit attire that’s still feminine and flirty.

That’s probably my number one. And I like little boutiques around town. I love Blush a lot. That’s where this dress is from.

IF YOU WERE A RUG, WHAT KIND OF RUG WOULD YOU BE? I would probably be something very colorful and fun. I would probably go with one of our woolen, silk pieces because they have a lot of color and the design is so different than anything else you can get. It stands out a lot.

That’s how my personality kind of is.

What is the Farm to Table event?

Farm to Table Dinner

Brown-Forman’s Farm to Table Dinner, presented in partnership with Slow Food Bluegrass, is a special evening designed to celebrate locally-grown foods in the gorgeous surroundings at Yew Dell.

The event takes place on June 14, at 6 p.m. Tickets are limited to 300 guests and previous dinners have consistently sold out.

What can guests expect at this year's event?

This year, guests will be treated to a delicious dinner thoughtfully prepared by Wiltshire Pantry, Red Hog and Comfy Cow, who will team up with local farmers and food producers to prepare a locally grown feast. Guests will also enjoy the Americana roots and bluegrass-inspired sounds from Dozens of Dollars. Most importantly, proceeds from this event will directly benefit the community programs and activities provided by Yew Dell and Slow Food Bluegrass.

Why is this event so important, in terms of the causes that it helps to promote?

Our Farm to Table Dinner is important because it celebrates farm fresh and locally produced foods.

This event ties in perfectly with Yew Dell’s mission to promote gardening and sustainable horticulture, and of course, Slow Food Bluegrass is committed to good, clean and fair food for all.

Are tickets still available and if so how can people purchase them?

Yes, tickets are still available by calling 502.241.4788.

For those who do not know, what is Yew Dell and why should people stop by this summer to explore it?

Yew Dell is a 60-acre botanical garden in Crestwood, a short drive from Louisville, making it the perfect place to visit this summer. We have something for everyone – labeled display gardens with unique plants, hiking trails, gardening workshops, community events, children’s activities and our garden gift shop. Two upcoming events you won’t want to miss are the Hummingbird Festival on Saturday, August 23 and the Garden Sculpture Show, presented by Commonwealth Bank & Trust Company, which opens with an evening reception on Friday, August

30 and features the artwork across the grounds through October 25. Yew Dell is truly a place to wonder, learn and grow. VT

Olive Leaf is a venture by chef Jimmy Shraby, whose previous restaurant, Souffle in New Jersey, was open for 15 years and attracted a wide and loyal following. But whereas his previous establishment focused firmly on one type of cuisine, Shraby’s vision for Olive Leaf was to incorporate cuisine found all around the rim of the MediterJ U N E 1 1 , 2 0 1 5 • W W W .

creamy tahini and yogurt sauce. The gazpacho was refreshing just by virtue of its temperature, and with no protein, it had nothing weighing it down. The hummus, in the meantime, was flavorful and elevated even more by a scoop of salty and briny feta cheese. Elsewhere, the bruschetta was a treat, given the fact that bread topped off with juicy tomatoes can never fail – nor can a classic caprese salad with thick cuts of fresh mozzarella.

Life Gazpacho.

Shraby’s menu also uses a lot of seafood, which makes sense given the focus is on the Mediterranean. A sumptuous and classic appetizer – and a perfect dish for sharing – was the mussels, served in a buttery white wine sauce. Meanwhile, one of the best entrees on the menu is undoubtedly the seafood pasta, which came with shrimp, mussels, scallops and another light sauce. Another great offering was the grilled chicken kebab – a smoky and savory concoction served with aromatic basmati rice. It’s wholesome yet perfect for the summer.

The best example of what Shraby is able to do came with the dessert and his signature dish: the souffle. Yes, there is a fabulous chocolate creme brulee that’s also tempting and delightful, but the souffle is the real winner.

Strawberry souffle.

Seafood pasta.

Guests are informed this dish should be ordered at the same time as the entree due to the labor-intensive aspect of the dish and the delicate nature of the souffle in general. On the day of our visit, Shraby’s souffle was of the strawberry variety, served with a warm strawberry sauce while hinting at the flavor of the berry within its soft texture. The souffle was a revelation. While I may not have had a ton of souffles in my life, I can say that this one was sheer delight. One cannot even describe its periodic ingestion as a bite – that would imply you feel something in your mouth. But Shraby’s creation is so light; each mouthful is a ghost of flavor. It’s worth visiting just for this.

But there is much more than the souffle that gives cause to hop across the river and stop by Olive Leaf. The restaurant’s view is almost unparalleled with a fine vista of the Louisville skyline, and as it’s only two blocks away from the walking bridge, it makes for a fine evening excursion.

SHAKESPEARE

in the Park

T

By Remy Sisk Contributing Writer

o any arts lover in Louisville, it’s no secret that there is a staggering wealth of theatre companies in town with each offering up top-notch productions in a multitude of venues around the city. But with the summer comes the activity of one of Louisville’s favorite and most historic companies.

While Kentucky Shakespeare is operational year-round, from early June to mid-August, they bring us the city’s beloved Kentucky Shakespeare Festival in Central Park, the country’s oldest free Shakespeare festival.

After strolling along the paths of Central Park, you stumble upon the unassuming yet astounding C. Douglas Ramey Ampitheatre.

Named for Kentucky Shakespeare’s founder and first artistic director, the theatre has a permanent castle-esque set piece affixed to its stage that is versatile enough to be used in any Shakespeare performance. As admission is entirely free, there are no ticket-takers, only smiling and friendly volunteers, offering programs and, if engaged, interesting tidbits about Kentucky Shakespeare, the ampitheatre and the neighborhood.

If you haven’t eaten before the show, fret not. In partnership with the Louisville Food Truck Association, Kentucky Shakespeare hosts a different food truck nightly, offering anything from a grilled cheese sandwich to a kebab wrap. Additionally, Will’s Tavern, a delightful booze window, offers local beer and wine as well as an array of Brown-Forman products to compensate for the fact that no J U N E 1 1 , 2 0 1 5 • W W W .

the community.

Your options for seating are seemingly limitless; you can sit on the ampitheatre’s new backed benches, spread a blanket on the grass, perch on the wooden bleachers in the back or relax at a picnic table. Whichever you choose, your view will certainly not be obstructed as the sloped design of the ampitheatre ensures visibility for all.

Actor Zachary Burrell, currently in his second season of working with Kentucky Shakespeare, sees the free admission aspect of the festival as truly paramount. “I know it’s strange to think of a job or theatre like this, but I love that we offer the shows for absolutely no cost,” Burrell maintains. “It really makes it feel like we are giving something amazing to the community.

Matt (Wallace) always talks about making the shows accessible to everyone, and I think that’s a big part of it in more ways than one.”

“The Tempest,” running now through July 25 in repertory, is a wondrous production, featuring exceptional performances from Jon Huffman, Megan Massie and Dathan Hooper with superb direction by Kentucky Shakespeare Artistic Director Matt Wallace. With razor-sharp comedic timing provided by Gregory Maupin and Zachary Burrell and dazzling flying effects centered on Sarah Jo Provost as the spirit Ariel, the production is simply impossible not to enjoy.

Recent UofL graduate Mariah Kline brought her roommate, Alison Underwood, to her first ever Kentucky Shakespeare performance. “I was just blown away,” Underwood remarks of “The Tempest.” “I mean, I never really loved Shakespeare in school, but coming out here and seeing so many people loving it and seeing it brought to life – it’s just inspiring.”

Her roommate echoes the sentiment. “I was an English major, so I’ve read a lot of Shakespeare,” Kline asserts. “But going to a Kentucky Shakes performance is so much more than seeing a Shakespeare play; it’s appreciating one of the finest cultural elements of the city. And of course being in one of the most spectacular venues in town.”

Kline is right. This isn’t a company producing Shakespeare plays just for the heck of it.

This is a company that is enriching the culture of Louisville by providing theatre that is not only professional entertainment but also educational and accessible by all members of

60

Soon, the company will open “The Taming of the Shrew” and then “Macbeth,” culminating in a repertory run of all three by mid-July and an all-out Bard-a-thon on July 25 with performances of all three shows on one day.

In addition to these three main stage shows, the Kentucky Shakespeare Festival in Central Park will be presenting an adaptation of Aristaphones’ “The Birds” in partnership with Greek Festival this weekend, June 12-14, at Waterfront Plaza. The company will also be providing some post-show entertainment on Saturday nights, beginning on June 27 with the Louisville Improvisers performing “Late Night Shakes,” an improvised Shakespeare play. Following the Bard-a-thon on July 25, the Globe Players will present “The Comedy of Errors,” Kentucky Shakespeare’s student production. Finally, during Community Partners Week, August 4-9, the Ramey stage will be shared by Theatre [502] and The Bard’s Town Theatre as they present “Two Lobbyists of Verona” and “Chasing Ophelia” respectively.

However you prefer to enjoy your Shakespeare, there is something waiting for you in Central Park this summer. And even though these plays were written as early as 1590, there is no time like 2015 to take in these magical words and appreciate one of Louisville’s best and most historic artistic offerings.

“I love cows,” he says. “They’re calm and content – the opposite of my life.”

The Roths added some rooms and reconfigured others. The most dramatic is an old raised open patio that’s now a bright, enclosed sunroom filled with large and small plants and plenty of comfortable seating – they call it their conservatory – looking out onto a peaceful back yard with a fountain, trees, landscape lighting, meandering paths and a charming carriage house.

The room has sliding track windows that can be opened up in the spring and fall or shut in the

“We like things light and airy,” David says.

So they lightened up the house by taking down heavy wallpaper and drapery, painting the walls a pale yellow and covering the windows with sheer curtains.

The welcoming front entry hall is dominated by a colorful Ulla Darni art glass chandelier, part of their collection of the glass arts. “All the colors on the floor were derived from that light,” says David.

There’s a large, long drawing room on one side of the house that the Boomers added in the 1930s.

“Drawing rooms were originally called ‘withdrawing rooms’ because they were rooms off to the side, to withdraw from the main part of the house,” David explains. “Over the years, it became shortened to ‘drawing’ room.”

The room is a combination sitting-and-reading, TV-watching, and writing room, and it contains many of the couple’s art pieces, which the Roths will be taking with them. They’ll be taking their memories with them, too.

In 1953, when David’s parents made a bid on the house, the Boomers accepted the offer even though it was not the highest one they received.

“They’d lost a son in World War II, and I think Mrs. Boomer liked the idea of having the house filled with children again.”

The Same Old Backward Progress Film BENNETT DUCKWORTH

W

bennettduckworth.blogspot.com

Bennett Duckworth is a film fanatic who lives in Louisville and goes to see a movie in the theater at least once a week. He has kept a movie review blog since September of 2011 with the mission of writing about every new release he sees, as well as new trends in film making and classic films he loves. Read more of his reviews at his website.

riter/director Paul Feig’s latest comedy, “Spy,” is what I expected it to be – but thankfully, not worse. I’m still fed up with comedies that surpass the 90-minute mark in a misplaced obligation to see through aspects of the movie that have nothing to do with making people laugh.

In this movie, Feig works with Melissa McCarthy again but gives her the opportunity to show more range. I’ve always liked McCarthy, but ever since “Bridesmaids” escalated her fame, I’ve seen her being typecast as an obnoxious insult queen to a tiresome degree. She gets the opportunity to revisit this shtick in “Spy,” but only when her timid character is forced to play a part, while doing her job.

As you could guess by the title, McCarthy is playing an undercover agent, continuing Feig’s overpraised reputation for grabbing genres – and subgenres – normally associated with men and giving them a female twist. In “Bridesmaids,” it was the lowbrow filthy comedy revolving around a wedding.

In “The Heat,” it was the buddy cop comedy.

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

This time, it’s the seemingly incompetent and unglamorous spy sent on a glamorous mission worthy of James Bond.

To me, giving women projects that have been so worn to death by men isn’t an example of progress. It’s more like a lame hand-medown. However, Feig’s projects tend to be quite funny, and “Spy” has some pretty big laughs. McCarthy, thankfully, tones it down here and works well with her co-stars like Jude Law, Jason Statham, Miranda Hart and Rose Byrne, the latter of whom steals some scenes as the film’s bitchy villainess.

Feig knows how to make jokes, but as the online video series “Every Frame a Painting” points out, he’s one of so many filmmakers lacking vision in the art of comedy filmmaking, and he favors conventional studio aesthetics to keep the audience engaged. As a comedy-action movie, this one is no exception in the genre’s tendency to waste lots of time near the end with extended fights and chases – which wouldn’t be worthy of a good action movie – and jokes spliced in, which aren’t worthy of the comedy that came before.

Feig is still developing his all-female “Ghostbusters” remake with McCarthy in

“Swift Boat”

A

s Pride Month reaches its midpoint, I checked in with one of Louisville’s biggest drag stars, Jade Jolie, to see what’s going on in her world. The “RuPaul’s Drag Race” contestant moved here after her time on the TV competition, and in the time since, has consistently improved upon her act and found her voice in one tall blonde.

Arts & Entertainment PETER BERKOWITZ Peter’s Picks

I’m eager to know more about your Taylor Swift. How did you realize that she’d be such a good fit for you?

I’ve always loved her music, but actually following her more and more, I’ve truly come to appreciate her as an artist and the similarities we share as being blonde, bubbly and ambitious. We’re two people working hard on our goals.

How have you learned to finesse her character as she evolves?

With anything, the more you practice a subject – or in this case, a character illusion – the more overall time you spend in fine-tuning that illusion.

You recently went to Vegas to audition as a Taylor. Can you tell me about that experience, and if you hope to pursue that type of Diva life?

A very positive experience. I loved the city and getting some time in with Coco Montrese, who has been a constant source of support for many years. I am grateful for the opportunity to have met and auditioned for Frank Marino. “Divas” (Marino’s stage show) is a dream I do greatly hope to experience at some point in my career. But I must say, however, that I love my Play family and am proud to be a part of this amazing establishment.

You’ve been in Louisville for around two years now, right?

Did Play pursue you, or did you audition? Why did you want to move here from Florida? And how do you like life here?

It’s hard to imagine that amount of time has truly flown by (laughs), but it has been almost two years and two wonderful ones at that. I actually heard of the opportunity through a friend and fellow entertainer, Dee Ranged, who had been a cast member of Play for several years. I like to think the interest was mutual (laughs), but either way, I was on cloud nine when I was offered the position. Since then, life in Louisville has been one of the best experiences I’ve had in my life. It’s nice to be treated with genuine care by our neighbors and friends, as well as being treated as a valued entertainer new to the city. Play will always be family.

How much time do you spend on the road these days as a touring headliner?

Part of my motivation for coming to Play Louisville was not only to be in an incredible cast, but (also) to be able to work regularly and have the PHOTO COURTESY OF BERNADETTE NEWBERRY

leisure of traveling without having out-of-town bookings being an absolute necessity. I am quite the homebody, and I love being with my hubby and kitty as much as I can.

How does it feel to be featured one night in, say, Columbus, and then return to the cast at Play?

I just love what I’m doing. I feel elated that I’m still able to share my craft in or out of town with such respected and talented entertainers. The feeling is just appreciative.

Another season of “Drag Race” has ended. How did you feel about this season? Did the right queen win? I assume the picture you posted recently in a very tight corset was a tribute to Violet?

I’ve really thought Violet was stunning since the first trailer, and I couldn’t be more thrilled for her. I think Ru knows what she’s doing, so I’ll leave it at that (laughs). Regarding the corset, you gotta love a good cinch!

How is Pride Month different for you than other months? Do you get more bookings, more money, or have more fun than usual?

Pride is always a popular time of the year. I like to think I’m having the most fun whenever and wherever I am, but Pride can really bring the community together, which just creates more fun to be had by all. VT

The execution and delivery of such supplemental indentures will result in a re-issuance of the 2009B Bonds for federal tax purposes. The proceeds of the 2009B Bonds, together with the proceeds of the Authority’s Hospital Revenue Bonds, Series 2009A (Baptist Healthcare Obligated Group) (the “2009A Bonds”), were used (a) to refund and retire debt previously issued by Baptist Healthcare System, Inc. (“BHS”) and Baptist Healthcare Affiliates, Inc. (“BHA”), the proceeds of which financed a portion of the costs of the facilities described below (note that BHA has since merged into BHS); (b) to finance a portion of the costs of construction, acquisition and installation of new hospital and related health care properties and facilities described below; (c) to pay initial credit enhancement costs; and (d) to pay costs of issuance of the 2009B Bonds.

The 2009B Bonds, together with proceeds of the 2009A Bonds, financed and refinanced costs of certain hospital and related health care buildings, improvements, additions, expansions, fixtures, equipment and related facilities of BHS and BHA in the approximate amounts and at the following locations: (a) Central Baptist Hospital, 1740 Nicholasville Road, Lexington, Fayette County, Kentucky ($143,689,493); (b) Baptist Hospital East, 4000 Kresge Way, St. Matthews, Jefferson County, Kentucky ($188,785,767); (c) Western Baptist Hospital, 2501 Kentucky Avenue, Paducah, McCracken County, Kentucky ($122,888,831); (d) Baptist Regional Medical Center, 1 Trillium Way, Corbin, Whitley County, Kentucky ($76,654,572); (e) BHS Support Services, 4007 Kresge Way, St. Matthews, Jefferson County, Kentucky ($15,900,637); (f) Baptist Hospital Northeast, 1025 New Moody Lane, LaGrange, Oldham County, Kentucky ($39,080,700); and (g) the acquisition of approximately 129 acres of real property North of Man O’ War Boulevard and South of Winchester Road adjacent to interstate 75 in Lexington, Fayette County, Kentucky ($14,000,000).

All such healthcare facilities are owned and operated by BHS or its affiliates.

The public hearing is being held pursuant to Section 147(f) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. Interested persons who wish to express their opinions on the proposed reissuance, either verbally or in writing, will be given an opportunity to do so at the stated time and place, provided that persons desiring to speak at the hearing (i) so request in writing at least 24 hours in advance of the hearing time and (ii) limit their oral remarks to 10 minutes. Additional information and documentation concerning the proposed financing and the projects will be available for public inspection at the office of the Authority at the place described above (contact Katie Smith).

PUZZLES

pets of the week Meet Mister Emmitt, a spunky 10-year-old Dachshund/Terrier mix. Emmitt came to the shelter from a neglect case, but you couldn’t tell by looking at him! Emmitt acts like a typical terrier in that he likes to monitor his surroundings. Emmitt would like to find a home with children ages five and up because sometimes he gets nervous around little humans. If you’re interested in bringing Emmitt home, come visit him at the Kentucky Humane Society. Emmitt is neutered, micro-chipped and up-to-date on his vaccinations. Emmitt can be found at our Main Campus, 241 Steedly Drive.

Meet Miss Gabby, a playful one-year-old gray and brown domestic shorthair mix with beautiful markings. She can’t decide which is more fun: playing with you or cuddling with you. Gabby loves to play with other kitties here in the colonies.

She’s spayed, micro-chipped and up-to-date on her vaccines.

On Fridays during the month of June, adoption fees for cats like Gabby, one year and older, are only $5. We want you to come in and see the great adult cats we have available. Come see Miss Gabby today at the Kentucky Humane Society’s Main Campus, 241 Steedly Drive.

For more on any of our adoptable pets, please call 502.366.3355 or visit kyhumane.org
