I’m not going to lie – I’m not someone you’d describe as “outdoorsy.” You will not find me setting up camp in the woods or taking a weekend hiking trip unless I have been forced to do so. Don’t get me wrong; I love being outside. I love sitting on my front porch with a good book. I love eating on patios at restaurants. And I love frequenting local parks for a long walk and a dose of Vitamin D. But for me, the best kind of park allows you to enjoy the enchantment of nature without straying too far from the city. It has activities for both children and adults and can serve as an afternoon or day-long escape from our day-to-day responsibilities. It has areas so unbelievably scenic and beautiful that you feel like you’ve entered another place entirely. This park exists right here in Louisville, just 20 minutes from downtown.

The Parklands of Floyds Fork is the brainchild of three influential Louisvillians: Bill Juckett, chairman of the Louisville Olmsted Parks Conservancy; Dan Jones, chairman and CEO of 21st Century Parks, the nonprofit corporation that created The Parklands; and his father David Jones, one of the two founders of Humana. As a Louisville native and a graduate of Yale University’s School of Forestry, Dan Jones has put his heart and soul into the project, which began in 2011 and now, just five years, is almost complete. The park itself is about 20 miles long and covers almost 4,000 acres, 2,500 of which are set aside for wildlife habitats. “The idea for this park was to go outside of where the city is developed and create not just a series of small parks,” says Scott Martin, director of The Parklands and avid outdoorsman. “Instead, they wanted to think in Olmsted’s tradition – think big and act big with a 4,000-acre systemic park system.” With the recent completion of Beckley Creek Park, The Parklands is an almost fully finished product. The new addition includes a 22-acre event lawn, picnic pavilions, a large playground and a sprayground. If you’re interested in a quieter park experience, Pope Lick Park may be the place for you. Explore the hiking trails of Big Beech Woods, fish along the banks of Floyds Fork or take a stroll around one of the many walking paths. The beauty of this area is absolutely astounding and so quiet that you can hardly believe you’re still in the city. Park officials are also ensuring that the natural landscape is well preserved by planting over 75,000 trees. Because of its focus on conservation and authenticity, walking through the park makes you feel like you’re observing a strictly natural place rather than an imitation of one. It should also be mentioned that the grounds are remarkably clean and well-maintained. A major part of the appeal of The Parklands is the amount of activities it has not just for children but for adults as well. They have partnered with Blue Moon Canoe & Kayak of Kentucky to offer Saturday and J U N E 1 6 , 2 0 1 6 • V O I C E -T R I B U N E . C O M

Sunday canoe and kayak rentals, giving patrons a great way to get on the water without having to purchase the equipment. Blue Moon offers both solo and tandem boats, and visitors can embark on either half-day or full-day trips. With such a variety of spaces and activities, guests can truly enjoy the park in all seasons. In the spring, try bird-watching and witness a variety of species as they migrate. During the hot summer months, go fishing or wading in Floyds Fork. And when the weather cools down, check out the fall foliage by taking a hike or bike ride on the trails. For a more hands-on experience, Martin recommends the interpretive hike series led by the knowledgeable park rangers. The rangers guide visitors through the park and teach them about the various types of plant and animal life that can be found not just in the park but in your own backyard. By highlighting the landscape and wildlife that can be seen in the park, the rangers introduce visitors to a whole new world in an already familiar environment. Dogs are welcome throughout the park as long as they are leashed and their owners clean up after them, and there are many plastic bag stations within the park.

There is even an off-leash play area within The Barklands of Beckley Creek, though membership with the Louisville Dog Run Association is required for off-leash use. Another notable feature of the park is its 19-mile section of the Louisville Loop, a multi-use path that will eventually stretch 100 miles to encircle the city and connect its various neighborhoods and attractions. The path is non-motorized, but it is bike-friendly and wheelchair accessible according to ADA standards. While the city of Louisville is currently working on the remaining 81 miles of the loop, the Parklands’ section is finished and ready for patrons to use. Additionally, one of the park’s biggest selling points is its authenticity. “The Parklands doesn’t attempt to be like anything else in the nation,” Martin contends. “The natural landscape and the animals that live here are all native to Kentucky, and they conspire to produce something that is unique nationally. We don’t need to copy other urban parks because we have such a beautiful setting right here.” The Parklands has already had over 800,000 visits this year alone and is expected to reach about 2 million visits in 2016. If the park achieves this milestone, P H OTO S C O U R T E S Y O F T H E PA R K L A N D S

it will become one of the top 50 most visited urban parks in America. This achievement is all the more impressive because the free public park has been almost completely finished in just a few years and is totally donor-funded. The park does not receive any tax dollars for operations and is all made possible by the generosity of donors. Martin emphasizes that a park this massive and successful could only succeed in a city like Louisville – a city that genuinely appreciates the outdoors. “Louisville values its parks and cherishes them like no other city,” he says. “Louisville led the nation in terms of urban parks in conservation in the 1890s with the Olmsted system, and now with the success of The Parklands, lightning has struck twice.” Whether you’re someone who loves the outdoors, or someone – like me – who enjoys them in small doses, The Parklands at Floyds Fork is the perfect park experience, and there’s no time like the summer to take advantage of all it has to offer. Louisville is beyond fortunate to have such an exceptional park within the limits of our already great city, and with a gorgeous landscape, abundant activities and plenty of space to explore, you will never run out of ways to enjoy this majestic park.

The Louisville area has no shortage of places to go and things to do to keep a family occupied this summer. For starters, parents may want to check out the Louisville Free Public Library’s Cultural Pass, which will get you and your kids into some great local attractions free of charge on certain days. There’s the Kentucky Derby Museum, Kentucky Science Center, Louisville Zoo, Bernheim Arboretum and Research Forest, Muhammad Ali Center and Speed Art Museum to name a few. Of course, kids aren’t the only ones who want to have fun during the summertime, so in an effort to provide suggestions to folks of all ages, here are five diverse spots in addition to The Parklands to check out over the next few months, proving that Louisville truly offers something for everyone.

DERBY DINNER PLAYHOUSE Though relatively small in size but nonetheless beloved by the community, Derby Dinner Playhouse in Clarksville is known for its professional productions of Broadway musicals and comedies. Each production also, of course, features the signature homestyle buffet. Additionally, The Footnotes, Derby Dinner’s vocal ensemble, performs prior to each stage production. Having opened in 1974, Derby Dinner Playhouse is one of the oldest and largest continually operating professional dinner theaters in the country. For over 40 years, the Derby has entertained over 3 million people and, in the process, produced nearly every classic Broadway musical including “Oklahoma!,” “The Sound of Music” and “Annie.” The current lineup features “Arsenic & Old Lace” through June 26 and “Pinkalicious J U N E 1 6 , 2 0 1 6 • V O I C E -T R I B U N E . C O M

the Musical” through June 25. From June 29 to August 14, Derby Dinner will present Disney’s “Beauty and the Beast,” and “Branson on the Road,” a country-comedy-Bluegrass-gospel show, will make a one-time stop on August 8. The playhouse also offers a Summer Musical Theatre Camp, which is a week-long performing arts camp for aspiring actors and singers ages 7-17. Three of the five summer offerings have already sold out, but there is still room for campers for the weeks of July 25-30 and August 1-6. The camp runs 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. each day. Derby Dinner Playhouse is located at 525 Marriott Drive, Clarksville, IN 47129. For more information, visit derbydinner.com or call 812.288.8281.

KENTUCKY KINGDOM There is, of course, no shortage of fun to be had at Kentucky Kingdom, Louisville’s 63-acre amusement park, and its water park, Hurricane Bay. Despite being smaller than other regional theme parks, Kentucky Kingdom has an undeniably whimsical ambiance and atmosphere with a multitude of thrilling attractions to boot. Now in its third year after reopening – a product of the work and vision of original and pre-Six Flags owner Ed Hart – the park continues to add marquee attractions. This year’s big draw is Storm Chaser, the re-imagined Twisted Sisters roller coaster, which has been completely re-designed. The wooden coaster features a new layout and an iBox track, which allows for a much smoother ride than a traditional wooden coaster. Storm Chaser is the first coaster in America to feature a barrel roll drop from a 10-story lift hill. Plus, the drop has a hair-rais-

ing 78-degree angle. The last two seasons have also featured the addition of Cyclos, a massive rotating pendulum that loops 360 degrees in the air; the refreshing Raging Rapids River Ride; and Lightning Run, the sleek steel coaster that features a 100-foot 80-degree drop. If the thrill rides are not your speed, 5D Cinema is showing “Angry Birds: The Ride,” and the entertaining Rescued Sea Lion Show at the Aqua Theater is scheduled daily and usually draws big crowds. The whole family can ride on the tame Flying Dutchman, which resided at Kings

Island from 1973 to 1990. Season passes are still on sale, and if you – or your little one – are a fan of anything from thrill rides to water attractions to theme park food, a pass that will last all summer is surely a wise investment. Kentucky Kingdom is located at 937 Phillips Lane, Louisville, KY 40209. For more information, visit kentuckykingdom.com or call 502.813.8200.

THE THIRSTY PEDALER After a summer day of entertainment, thrill rides or gardening, you may want to unwind with friends, perhaps, say, on a 16-passenger bike and go bar-to bar-downtown. Imagine The Highlands’ Bambi Walk placed in the middle of the business district where you pedal instead of walk. Voted No. 1 out of 57 Louisville Nightlife Destinations by TripAdvisor, The Thirsty Pedaler offers a two-hour tour, in which you and your friends pedal away on a pubcrawler and stop at two or three bars in downtown Louisville. A tour guide/driver behind the bar controls the direction and speed and plays music, which can be your very own playlist, for your group. It is ideal for bachelorette, bachelor and birthday parties but perfect for any occasion.

IN THE CIRCUIT COURT FOR FLOYD COUNTY STATE OF INDIANA IN THE MATTER OF THE ADOPTION OF: ARLIE SATTERLEY

CASE NO. 22C01-1605-AD-009

TO: NOTICE OF ADOPTION Notice by Publication The child born to Jessica Nicole Brown on April 2, 2015, and Zachary Keith Satterley, who has been named the father of the child or any person who claims to be the father of the child born to Jessica Nicole Brown on April 2, 2015, is notified that a Petition for Adoption of the child was filed in the Office of the Clerk of Floyd County, in New Albany, Indiana, 47150. The petition for adoption alleges that the consent to adoption of Arlie Satterley is not required by either parent per Indiana Code 31-19-9-8(a) (2) and (b) as the natural parents have not had meaningful contact or provided for the support for the child for a period exceeding one year and adoption is in the child’s best interests. If the natural mother and putative father seek to contest the adoption of the child, a motion to contest the adoption must be filed in accordance with Indiana Code 31-19-10-1 in the above-named Court within thirty (30) days after the date of service of this Notice. This Notice may be served by publication. If a motion to contest the adoption is not filed by the natural mother, or putative father within thirty (30) days after service of this Notice, the above-named Court shall hear and determine the Petition for Adoption. The natural mother and putative father’s consent is irrevocably implied and the natural parents lose the right to contest the adoption or the validity of the natural parents’ implied consent to the adoption. The putative father loses the right to establish paternity of the child under I.C. 31-14. Nothing that anyone else says to the natural mother and putative father of the child relieves the natural parents of their obligations under this Notice. Under Indiana law, a putative father is a person who is named as or claims he may be the father of the child born out of wedlock but who has not yet been legally proven to be the child’s father. This notice complies with IC 31-19-4.5-3 and IC 31-19-4-4 but does not exhaustively set forth a person’s legal obligations under the Indiana adoption statutes. A person being served with this notice should consult the Indiana adoption statutes. /s/Christina M. Eurton_____________ CLERK, FLOYD COUNTY COURT

Lonnie Ali eulogizes her husband to a spellbound audience.

MUHAMMAD ALI memorial service Celebrities and dignitaries from around the world – in addition to thousands of Louisville citizens – attended the memorial service for Muhammad Ali on June 10. The service was held at the KFC Yum! Center and featured rousing eulogies and send-offs from such notable speakers as Reverend Kevin Cosby, Rabbi Michael Lerner, Ambassador Shabazz, John Ramsey, longtime friend Billy Crystal and former President Bill Clinton. Muhammad’s wife, Lonnie Ali, also gave a moving dedication to her husband as did the rest of the Ali family to their father. In addition, Valerie Jarrett read a personal statement on behalf of President Obama. The energy in the Yum! Center was palpable as was the mourning of the man known as The Greatest. The dedication to maintain his ideals and carry on his legacy was just as evident, however. In a turn of fiercely spoken eloquence, Billy Crystal distilled Ali’s essence best: “He was a thunderbolt created by Mother Nature who illuminated what happens when humanity builds bridges instead of walls.”

THE CHAMP and the banker

ing to Oliver, the concept for the Ali he death of Muhammad Center was entirely The Champ’s, Ali was the loss of one of despite his not being an architect or the greatest gifts to the developer. As many know, Ali did not world that Louisville has ever think small; in fact, he thought very cultivated. He was an intrinlarge when it came to humanity and his hopes for the future. sic part of the fabric and hisStaff Writer tory of the city, and his passing “He wanted the Center to be populated with people who wanted to has rekindled the memories of BEN make humanity more human and countless citizens who yearn GIERHART better able to get along with human to hold on to their tiny bit of @BenGierhart_BEP beings,” says Oliver. “When Lonnie The Champ for as long as they called me, I said, ‘I can do that for can. In the case of Orson OliThe Champ. He’s a great guy. Let’s get togethver, former president of Bank of Louis- er and see what we can do.’” Lonnie also enlisted ville, his memory is his role in the con- the aid of other powerful Louisvillians including struction of one of Ali’s most lasting leg- the mayor at the time, Jerry Abramson. Together, this influential and dedicated group included acies: the Muhammad Ali Center. some of Louisville’s most powerful political and financial figures.

The multicultural center and award-winning museum opened in 2005, but Oliver recalls a fateful phone call over 10 years prior from Ali’s wife, Lonnie Ali: “Lonnie called me and asked me to raise money. She wanted me to help get this project off the ground. They had just gotten back from a world tour, visiting places like India and China. They saw a lot of conflict in the world and felt that there was really no place on Earth to go and really resolve some of the conflicts.” AccordJ U N E 1 6 , 2 0 1 6 • V O I C E -T R I B U N E . C O M

Despite his reputation and his inclusion in this group, Oliver remains modest: “The money that was raised was just the development money. It didn’t build the Center. It really didn’t do anything other than allow Ali to sit down with people who could develop money and concepts. It was the seed money.” The planning period for the Ali Center ended up being a long one, but Oliver remembers that from the town’s largest bank to the smallest business that had interest in

the project, they met little resistance in the raising of funds: “Being a banker, you’re involved in a lot of community projects. Muhammad Ali was so powerful and had such a presence. I don’t recall anyone turning us down. Everyone wanted to be involved.” There were talks to build the Center in New York, Chicago and even Los Angeles, but Oliver says that Ali always wanted it in his hometown. “He loved his hometown and wanted it in Louisville. He didn’t want it in New York. He would say, ‘People get lost in New York. They don’t get lost in Louisville,’” relates Oliver with a smile. And now, over 10 years later, the Muhammad Ali Center enjoys a perfect location downtown, right by the Ohio River. Oliver plays down the significance of his role in this endeavor, but it doesn’t seem that Ali ever forgot him: “Every time I would see him at various functions, such as Derby and the holidays, he would always call me The Banker.” Muhammad Ali was a complex person in one sense, but he also had the ability to view complex things in a pure, distilled way. He did it with Oliver’s name, and he did it with the problems he saw in the world. “It all goes back to humanity,” says Oliver. “It was paradoxical. He was a fighter, but he thought that people also ought to be get along. He thought that there needed to be a place where people can go and resolve their differences. This is it.” VT PHOTO COURTESY OF ORSON OLIVER

hirty-five years ago, Jim Graven purchased the store where he’d been an employee for 11 years. It was called Steepleton. Back then, that store sold billiards and pool tables and for the most part, kept it at that.

Graven says. His father puts it this way: “There’s nothing in here that really doesn’t spell fun.”

But Graven is too wise businessman to keep all his eggs in the same basket. Sure, you’ll still find pool tables and cues for sale at Steepleton. But there’s a lot more than that. It’s impossible, in fact, to put your finger on any category or term that would sum up the store’s merchandise. And that’s the secret to Steepleton’s success. Inside the St. Matthews store, you’ll find bar stools, basketball goals, Jacuzzis, Big Green Eggs and YETI coolers. Outside, you’ll find Woodplay and Gorilla playsets. Jim Graven’s son Gunnar Graven serves as vice president of operations. Ask him to summarize the store’s product line and he’ll answer in broad yet curiously specific terms: “We sell fun products that last.”

Jim Graven’s daughter Allison Graven serves as general manager. Together, the three weathered the 2008 recession – no small feat when you’re selling things people buy when they have disposable income.

Surely Clyde and Charlie Steepleton would be proud if they could see the company’s ongoing success. The two men started the business in 1910, and over the years, it’s moved from the old Sears building on Shelbyville Road to a spot on Broadway to its present location at 282 N. Hubbards Lane. There has also been a Steepleton location in Lexington for nearly 30 years, which recently moved into a new facility almost identical to the one in St. Matthews. The two stores are the only places in Kentucky where Jacuzzis are sold. Steepleton also sells the nation’s largest volume of Woodplay playground equipment. The Gravens say this success is a product of consistently getting customer service right the first time.

If you were to constrict Steepleton to a niche, it would be the sort of products that people buy because they want to – not because they have to.

“We never have an upset customer,” Jim Graven says.

“It’s something that people look forward to coming in and shopping and purchasing,” Gunnar

And that’s a testament to the high caliber of the store’s 28 employees.

“I’ve got some employees who are just spectacular,” he says. “They just love the work.” At Steepleton, you don’t tend to see large products going out to customers’ vehicles. Instead, items go in the store’s own truck to customers’ homes, where Steepleton employees unload them and set them up. In 2001, Jim Graven bought a consignment store next to Steepleton’s warehouse, a few blocks over at 4175 Lyndon Way. His plan was simply to make use of the real estate. “I knew nothing about consignment,” he recalls. But then he began to realize that the store, Charlotte’s Web, held considerable potential for success. He added some new items to the mix and brought in some furniture. He raised the bar for the quality of consignment items coming in. And now, the store is doing three-and-a-half times the sales it was doing when he bought it. About five years ago, Graven started selling patio furniture at Charlotte’s Web, and since then, the store has become one of Louisville’s most important destinations for patio furniture shopping. Today, about 40 percent of the merchandise at Charlotte’s Web is new. Drawing on his years of connections in the retail world, Graven enjoys sourcing products for the store. “The fun part of it is the hunt.” VT For more information about Steepleton, call 502.897.7665, visit steepleton.com or check out facebook.com/steepleton.

For more information about Ronald McDonald House Charities of Kentuckiana and the Family Room Program, please visit rmhc-kentuckiana.org. ST. VINCENT DE PAUL AWARDED GRANT FROM THE GHEENS FOUNDATION

This year marks the 10th Anniversary of the Ronald McDonald Family Room located in Norton Women’s and Kosair Children’s Hospital. Ronald McDonald House Charities® of Kentuckiana (RMHCK) invited the local community to join in celebrating this milestone with hospital staff, families who have used the facility and volunteers who have provided their service to the Family Room for 10 years.

The Gheens Foundation recently awarded St. Vincent de Paul Louisville a grant for $80,000. The Gheens Foundation’s generous gift will fund programming for the Family Success Center, which provides quality out-of-school time programs for disadvantaged children.

Since June 6, 2006, RMHCK, using space kindly provided by Norton Healthcare, has provided more than 1,800 families a free place to stay while their children received medical care in the Hospital’s Neonatal Intensive Care Unit. Located on the second floor of Plaza 1, the Family Room

provides four sleep rooms, a kitchen and dining area, a television and computer area, a laundry facility, shower facilities and a lactation room to anyone who has a child in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit. Jefferson County residents make up 60 percent of the Family Room occupants, unlike the Ronald McDonald House located in downtown Louisville, which is reserved for out-of-town guests.

The Family Success Center opened in September 2014 on the former site of an SVDP Thrift Store, 1029 S. Preston St., on SVDP’s large campus in the Smoketown/Shelby Park area. Since then, children in grades kindergarten through middle school have received year-round after-school tutoring and structured programming that includes cooking, art, chess and a variety of sports and fitness options. The program is offered at no cost to participants.

It’s all indoors, in mostly well-tended arenas on a field roughly 300-feet by 150-feet, on finegrain “arena sand.”

Maybe it shouldn’t come as a surprise that the University of Kentucky, nestled in the Bluegrass, has a polo team. And a good one, too. In 2010, the women’s UK polo team won the national collegiate championship in only its fourth year of operation.

UK had a so-so transition season last year. “Most of our players from the previous year had graduated, and we had a lot of freshmen,” she says, “so we weren’t very competitive. We’ll be more experienced this year.”

And while the basketball team keeps starting and stalling on efforts to rebuild or renovate Rupp Arena, the PoloCats (I made that up) will be moving into a brand new facility in the fall. The team’s coach, Jorge Vasquez, is a polo player and trainer who’s also the manager of the Commonwealth Polo Club in Paris, Kentucky, where next season, the team will begin boarding its horses and playing its home matches. The new arena will have room for

the Pleasant Heights Stable where her mother was the facilities manager – but she had never played polo. “I’m the president of the team not because I’m the best player but because of my management experience,” she admits. As president of the student-run “club sport,” she oversees the care of the ponies, organizes games and keeps the other players informed of schedules, games, practices, etc. There are two UK polo teams, men’s and women’s, that practice together and travel together but compete separately. Kentucky plays all over the country, from August to April, though its primary “conference” consists of the universities of Louisville, Virginia, Wisconsin and Michigan.

The idea like so many other field sports, from hockey to soccer (and, incidentally, basketball), is to get a ball into a goal. “When I’m explaining polo to someone, I kind of call it ‘hockey on hooves,’” says Baughman. There are three players on each team. As with soccer, there’s an offensive player, a defensive player and a mid-fielder who plays both ends. Scores can vary, from tight 1-0 games to runaway scoring like 15-10.

Unlike some other UK sports, freshmen come back to the polo team, maturing into upperclassmen and women. The heart of the sport is the ponies (not technically “ponies,” by the way, but grown-up horses). Some have been bred for polo from the beginning, some are ex-racehorses who were turned into polo ponies. (“They make good polo ponies because they’re athletic, fast and competitive,” says Baughman.) They’ve all been donated to the team, mostly by farms and stables in the Bluegrass. Also by ex-polo players in the area. The thing about polo ponies, says Baughman, is that “they really love their jobs. It’s the perfect sport for their herd mentality – they run together and turn together. Some are so good they see the ball change directions and turn before the rider tells them to turn.” These wonderful animals come in all sizes. The smaller ponies tend to pivot and turn more quickly – “handy” in polo argot. Bigger horses have longer strides and are typically faster. It’s a team sport for both the horses and the players. “Having each of us look out for the others is very important,” Baughman says. “We have to be each other’s eyes because we’re on horses and mostly looking straight ahead. So we have to let each other know where the other players are, what play we’re going to do, where we’re going to take the ball. We’re constantly talking to each other.” If John Calipari is reading this, he’s probably salivating. And putting in a call to Jorge Vasquez. VT

The stage seemed to be set for a run to the Final Four, but a shocking home loss at ville fanbase.

71-65. Four days later, the shocking and heartbreaking announcement that UofL would be self-imposing a postseason ban that would keep the team from playing in the NCAA Tournament was made.

First, there was football, where a mix of extreme youth on the offensive side of the ball and a front-loaded schedule resulted in a UofL team starting a season 0-3 for the first time since 1984. The campaign ultimately gave fans the most positive ending of all of Louisville’s spotlight sports, with true freshman quarterback Lamar Jackson playing hero in the Cards’ fifth straight win over Kentucky, and their Music City Bowl triumph over Texas A&M.

The Louisville sports season that just went in the books won’t be remembered by anyone as the most successful ever, but the hope is that its legacy will be a table-setter for the glory that came in 2016-17. With most of its defense returning and a clear starting quarterback finally in place, the football team will likely begin the season somewhere in the top 25. In early prognostications, the women’s basketball team has been as high as No. 2, and the men’s as high as No. 5. And even with all those players drafted, Dan McDonnell will still return more than enough talent to the diamond next season to make another run at Omaha.

the KFC Yum! Center to sixth-seeded DePaul ruined all that.

The season couldn’t possibly be characterized as a disastrous one for UofL, and the performances of Jackson and some of the other emerging stars near the end of campaign has left fans dreaming big things this summer. Still, the first month of the season ruined the same types of dreams the fans were entertaining 12

On the men’s side, Rick Pitino’s 2015-16 team was dealing with an extreme amount of adversity before they were even able to step on the court for the first time. Led by graduate transfers Damion Lee and Trey Lewis, the group handled the situation with more grace than anyone could have expected, and the city quickly fell in love with them. That love affair continued into the season itself, where the Cards exceeded everyone’s preseason expectations by winning 13 of their first 15 games to become a player on the national scene. On the first day of February, Lee, Lewis and company proved to the college hoops world that they were capable of winning the big one when they took down top-ranked North Carolina

How deep this team could have played into March is something that fans will be fruitlessly debating for years to come. While the elegance with which a group of UofL players handled an awful situation they had nothing to do with won’t soon be forgotten in Derby City, 2015-16 will forever be defined by the extenuating circumstances that put them in that position. Spring brought with it arguably the best baseball team this city has ever seen, a group that produced three first-round draft picks and a No. 2 overall seed for the NCAA Tournament, the best in program history. It also brought super regional heartbreak at Jim Patterson Stadium for a second straight season.

The waiting is always the hardest part, but it certainly feels like some much brighter days for Louisville athletics are right around the corner. VT V O I C E -T R I B U N E . C O M • J U N E 1 6 , 2 0 1 6

The Lasting Legacy of Ali On Friday, the eyes of the nation were on Louisville as we said goodbye to Muhammad Ali. The Greatest of All Time passed away on Friday, June 3. His body was driven through the city a week later. A procession that covered over 20 miles was witnessed by hundreds of thousands of people. On Friday afternoon, over 15,000 people packed into the KFC Yum! Center for the Ali memorial. Two men who knew Ali since the 1960s, NBA all-time leading scorer Kareem Abdul-Jabbar and civil rights activist Jesse Jackson, were among the mourners and those who came to Louisville to celebrate the life of the three-time heavyweight champ. What are the emotions that you have felt this week? Abdul-Jabbar: Ali was just a wonderful role model and a great champion and leader. He took a stand against the federal government and prevailed, and that was pretty hard to do in those days. Just what he showed us in terms of his courage and his determination to assert himself was incredible.

much Louisville has changed. After Ali won his gold medal in Rome, he tried to get served at a restaurant in Louisville and they wouldn’t let him in, and now the city has turned out to give him an appropriate sendoff. I think that says a lot for the city of Louisville and the progress that they’ve made here in terms of accepting everybody as fellow citizens. I think that’s incredible, and I think Ali had a lot to do with that.

What did you learn from Muhammad Ali? Abdul-Jabbar: I just learned that you’ve got to stick to your principles. You can’t compromise those, especially when you know that you’re right. You knew him better than most – what can you tell us about him?

Abdul-Jabbar: Muhammad Ali was someone who everybody wanted to emulate. They respected him, and they admired his courage. He never ever compromised what he believed in or how he went about living his life. He did it his way, and he prevailed. Is this the kind of outpouring of support you expected to see

here in Louisville? Jesse Jackson: I’m not surprised – I’m delighted. Louisville has come to recognize the error of their ways of 1960. We are a better nation because we ended legal segregation. Ali was left in the margins by Louisville and misunderstood because he was not controversial – he was maladjusted. The controversy was caring more for horses than for people. The controversy was you had to pay taxes and couldn’t vote. The controversy was black soldiers on American military bases having to sit behind Prisoners of War. Segregation was controversial. Now, there’s an appreciation that segregation was wrong and Ali along with that group of freedom fighters was right. How much of an impact did he have? Jackson: Even when he could only whisper, saying something was morally wrong. It was not the loudness of his voice but the moral authority he represented at this stage of his life. What was his message? Jackson: Drawing a multiracial, multicultural, ecumenical crowd is a political statement. It almost embarrasses the political order of our nation – at a time when there are more Muslims than there are Christians, when Muslims and Christians must coexist and not co-annihilate. Even today he is leading us from the grave. What impressed you about Ali’s development as a leader? Jackson: Ali used his exalted position as a boxer, a heavyweight champion of the world to project beyond the boxing ring. He was a champion in the ring; people ride champions on their shoulders. He was a hero. He gave up his title but not his crown because the country tried to sabotage his dreams of coexistence. To see Christians and Muslims and Jews and Buddhists under one roof – this is the real dream. VT

“He was kind of like a dad,” Williams says to describe her head coach. Coach Hundley, whose daughter is a junior in high school, established a fatherly connection with his players also. “If we are talking about boys, he will tell us to stop talking about boys and that we don’t need to worry about boys. He has helped with my hitting, and I started hitting a lot better this year. I use my legs more with hitting and pitching to get more power behind my hits and my pitch,” Williams adds. Aside from her coach, this senior season prepared Madison as she gets ready to be a freshman at Jackson State in Jackson, Mississippi. “This year, we played a really tough schedule – the toughest we have had all four years – so I think it prepared me for all the tough games I am going to have in college. It mentally prepared me.” Madison will be preparing mentally to achieve one of her goals – starting as a freshman. Jackson State lost six seniors this past season and has eight freshman coming in. Madison’s aim will be to be a stand-out freshman who owns the circle in their first season. And she understands that this preparation leads to her being mentally ready for the challenge. “I will have to work all summer practicing, go to the gym and build my muscles to get stronger and just make sure I stay fit.

As a premier pitcher in high school, Madison looks to take a well-rounded skill set with her to college. She admits that she has struggled with her change up but is elated in the fact that her coaches strengthened her in needed areas over the years. As a result, she has become a better hitter and now has a fastball that leaves batters perplexed in the box. “I have natural movement on my fastballs, and that gets a lot of people because they’ll think it is another pitch but it is really my fastball inside and outside.” As Williams prepares for college play, I hope Jackson State is ready, as she expects to make a monumental impact on a compact campus in ways that perhaps words will not even be able to describe.

was the best option due in large part to the warm weather, she says. But more importantly, Williams, who considers herself a shy person, liked Jackson State because it was within her comfort zone. “I visited a couple other schools and when the coach at Jackson State contacted me, originally I thought I wouldn’t like it because it is far away from home. But when I went down to visit, I really liked the campus and it was really pretty. For it being a Division I school, it wasn’t that big and I didn’t want to go to a big school because I am a shy person and I’m not outgoing. So I probably wouldn’t have fit in at a big school – this was the perfect size for me.”

From Adoring Manual to Embracing Jackson State

Sports Creator found just enough under Irad Ortiz Jr. to win for trainer Steve Asmussen. The victory with Creator, who won the Arkansas Derby (GI) and then finished a troubled 13th in the Kentucky Derby Presented by Yum! Brands (GI), is Asmussen’s first in the Belmont.

Creator’s Dramatic Belmont Continues Big Year for Asmussen

n horse or human terms, Creator was a bit of a “late developer.” But WinStar Farm and Bobby Flay’s gray son of Tapit has made the wait for his development more than worth it because he is now a classic winner.

Crown’s final jewel.

Horse Sense JOHN ASHER

The Steve Asmussen trainee bounced back from a troubled 13th-place run in the Kentucky Derby Presented by Yum! Brands to close from 10th in the Belmont Stakes to defeat Derby rival Destin by a nose in the Triple J U N E 1 6 , 2 0 1 6 • V O I C E -T R I B U N E . C O M

The victory added an exclamation point to a year in which Asmussen will be enshrined in racing’s Hall of Fame. And who could know how many more exclamation points the new Hall of Famer might add in a calendar year that has less than six months to go.

It was the second classic win for the Churchill Downs-based Asmussen, who collected his first with eventual two-time Horse of the Year Curlin, who defeated Kentucky Derby winner Street Sense in final strides of the 2007 Preakness. But the 3-year-old that provided Asmussen, Win-

Star and jockey Irad Ortiz Jr. with Saturday’s Belmont Stakes triumph did not inspire phrases like “Derby hope” or “Triple Crown talent” when he launched his career in a grass race last September at Churchill Downs. Creator did not earn a trip to the winner’s circle until his sixth career start, a come-from-behind triumph at Oaklawn Park in late February. But Asmussen knew from the start that the winner of the longest of the Triple Crown races – the 1 1/2-mile event dubbed “Test of the Champion” – needed races of significant distance to reach his potential. That is why the colt started his road to his classic win with a pair of two-turn races on turf and has never run at a distance less than a mile and 70 yards. PHOTOS BY AMBER CHALFIN

His Kentucky Derby disappointment had been preceded by a late-charging triumph in the Arkansas Derby at 1 1/8 miles that stamped him as a major player for the Run for the Roses. On the morning after the Belmont triumph, Asmussen told reporters that his major concern was Creator’s mindset following his rough-and-tumble Derby journey. But Creator rewarded his trainer for that ongoing faith in his ability. “I was disappointed that we may have lost our window in the Derby with this horse, so I’m glad that he didn’t sour off of that trip, which easily he could have,” Asmussen said. “For the Belmont, they talk about giving them time. Five weeks off the Derby ain’t a lot of time. “He didn’t sour. He was willing to do it again, and he didn’t hold it against us. And it worked out for him.” One of the major disappointments in Asmussen’s career has been a narrow loss in the 2007 Belmont by eventual two-time Horse of the Year Curlin. That colt was edged by Kentucky Oaks-winning filly Rags to Riches following a riveting duel through the homestretch. Since that race, the image of Rags to Riches has been part of a collection of portraits of Belmont Stakes winners displayed on the wall of the clubhouse at Belmont Park, the home of the Triple Crown’s final jewel. After that disappointing 2007 near-miss with one of the best horses of his Hall of Fame career, Asmussen now has an opportunity to go out of his way to stroll past that wall – and to smile while doing so. “I cannot wait to walk by that wall,” Asmussen PHOTOS BY AMBER CHALFIN

said on Sunday. “I'll actually stop next year and look at the pictures, for obvious reasons.” Significant opportunities for Asmussen to sustain his current smile loom this Saturday in Churchill Downs’ annual “Downs After Dark” celebration headed by the $500,000, Grade I Stephen Foster Handicap, one of America’s top races for older horses. The Foster’s winner earns a “Win and You’re In” bid to compete in this fall’s $6 million Breeders’ Cup Classic (GI) at Santa Anita. While Asmussen will not have a starter in the evening’s biggest show, two of his stable’s top stars will compete in races during the night’s schedule of five major stakes events. One is 2014’s Longines Kentucky Oaks (GI) winner and champion 3-year-old filly Untapable, who will attempt to snap a six-race losing streak in the 41st running of the $200,000 Fleur De Lis for fillies and mares. That Grade II event at a mile and an eighth will provide its victor with a Breeders’ Cup “Win and You’re In” berth for the $2 million Breeders’ Cup Distaff (GI) at Santa Anita. Untapable’s frustrating string of setbacks includes four runner-up finishes. But Winchell Thoroughbreds’ homebred star has a perfect record in three races over the main track at Churchill Downs and seems to be in a good spot for a return to the winner’s circle. Also competing for Asmussen on Saturday will be Gun Runner, a gallant third to Nyquist in Kentucky Derby 142, who will begin the second half of his 3-year-old season with a run in the Grade III Matt Winn for 3-year-olds at 1 1/16 miles. The Louisiana Derby (GII) winner has won four of six

races with his only setbacks coming in his strong Derby run – an effort in which he turned for home with the lead – and a fourth-place finish in the slop in last fall’s Kentucky Jockey Club (GII). Other Saturday highlights include the $200,000 Wise Dan (GII), the former Firecracker now named in honor of Morton Fink’s two-time Horse of the Year. The race’s namesake will visit with fans in the Churchill Downs paddock during the race that now bears his name. The Grade III Regret for 3-year-old fillies on turf rounds out the evening’s stakes events. Also set for Saturday is the renewal of the Stephen Foster Handicap tradition in which the engraved winner’s trophies will be presented to the owner, trainer, jockey and breeder of the Kentucky Derby winner. Trainer Doug O’Neill will be at Churchill Downs on Saturday to accept this year’s trophies for Team Nyquist. That special moment is one that the new Hall of Famer Asmussen has yet to savor. But he turned 50 only last November, which will make him one of the youngest inductees in the history of racing’s Hall of Fame when he is formally enshrined on August 12 in Saratoga Springs, New York. So with regard to Asmussen’s ongoing search for a Kentucky Derby winner – the only Triple Crown race that has managed to elude him – time is on his side. Nevertheless, consider it a sure bet that Asmussen is working hard toward achieving that elusive goal as you read these words. After all, the 143rd Kentucky Derby is set for Saturday, May 6, 2017 – just over 320 days from now. VT V O I C E -T R I B U N E . C O M • J U N E 1 6 , 2 0 1 6

Rally Point: Kentuckiana

SPOTLIGHT

On June 23, Louisville will see the first-ever event of Rally Point: Kentuckiana take place at The Kentucky Center. Designed to aid veterans in the struggles they most often face, the day consists of two events: a Resource Fair and a fundraiser. To learn more about this event and get a deeper understanding of what the proceeds will benefit, we caught up with Rally Point: Kentuckiana board member David Page. What is Rally Point: Kentuckiana? Inspired by Mayor Greg Fischer’s pledge to end veteran homelessness, several Kentuckiana businesses led by their veterans resource groups came together in August to discuss how they could help. Leaving all corporate names at the door, the group formed a coalition called Rally Point: Kentuckiana with the mission to find ways to better the lives of our local veterans by working toward resolving three of the greatest challenges facing them today: unemployment, homelessness and mental and physical health needs. To tackle those areas, the coalition brought together three veterans charities that support those needs in our community: Active Heroes, Where Opportunity Knox and the Coalition for the Homeless. What can participants expect at the June 23 events? There are two events that will occur on June 23 at The Kentucky Center for the Performing Arts. First, from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m., Rally Point: Kentuckiana will host a free Veteran’s Resource Fair that will include numerous services and area employers looking to hire our veterans. Then, that evening, starting with a reception at 6:30 p.m., the Louisville community is invited to attend a charity fundraiser

to benefit Active Heroes, Where Opportunity Knox and the Coalition for the Homeless. The fundraiser will be a variety show that will involve some laughs and possibly some tears. The event will kick off with our Master of Ceremonies, Lee Woodruff, bestselling author and national correspondent, as well as Heather French Henry singing the national anthem and Mayor Fischer providing comments. Our speakers for the rest of the evening will include wounded warrior Derek Herrera, a retired Special Forces Marine who was paralyzed from a sniper bullet in Afghanistan, and comedian Jose Sarduy, who is a graduate of the Air Force Academy and veteran of Iraqi and Enduring Freedom. Our featured speaker will be Woody Williams, last surviving Medal of Honor recipient from Iwo Jima. Why is Rally Point: Kentuckiana important for the community? These events are important to the community because they are meant to help serve those who have served. From the Resource Fair for veterans to the fundraising event for three local veterans’ charities, the goal is to give back and show Louisville’s support for those who raised their hand to defend our nation when called. Freedom isn’t free, and the price that some of our veterans pay on a daily basis is too much for them to bear alone.

We want them to know that this community stands beside them. Louisville is one of the most patriotic communities I know, and we hope to see that support at the fundraising event on the evening of June 23. All proceeds from the ticket sales are going directly to the support the charities that help our veterans every day. What difference do you hope to see this event make in the lives of its beneficiaries? This is the inaugural event for Rally Point: Kentuckiana, and we hope the money and awareness raised by our efforts will directly support those who need it through Active Heroes, Where Opportunity Knox and the Coalition for the Homeless, the three charities who are supporting our veterans every day to help them face the challenges they are experiencing. Just because these veterans are home doesn’t mean their fight is done, and we need to support them How do you hope the event changes in years to come? Though this is the inaugural event, the hope is to grow the Rally Point: Kentuckiana cause into one of the best charity events in Louisville that benefits our veterans. Even in our first year, it is amazing the level of support we have received from this community and its businesses. With partners like UPS, Humana, Brown-Forman and Ford as some of the first to raise their hands to show their support, it speaks volumes to the patriotism and support this community has for our service members. Is it too late to participate? It is never too late to show your support of our veterans. For veterans, the Resource Fair is free. For the community, tickets are still available for the evening event at rallypointkentuckiana.org. All proceeds from the ticket sales are going directly to support the charities that help our veterans every day. VT

Additionally, all food packages are required to contain a Nutrition Facts label. Don’t put too much weight on the table portion of the label as it is often misleading. Instead, look at the ingredients list, which is listed from most to least. Try to stick with products that have no more than five ingredients. If you cannot pronounce any of the ingredients, don’t eat the product. If it contains partially hydrogenated anything, leave it in the store. There are

over 11,000 man-made chemicals that can be added to our food, which are usually only listed collectively as colors or flavors (natural and artificial) and are leading suspects in America’s battle against obesity, fatigue, degenerative illness and chronic pain. Nutritious food comes from a farm, not from a factory. Whereas factory-generated food products can fill your belly, real food from a farm nourishes your body. When your meals are prepared at home, you are in complete control of what you eat. Bring the leftovers to work the next day for lunch. If you eat restaurant food regularly, do some homework and find out the nutritional value and ingredients in what you’re eating. There is a big difference between filling your belly and nourishing your body. Filling your belly may get you through today; you will satisfy your hunger by filling your belly. But nourishing your body today and every day will make a difference for the rest of your life. That is your choice every time you eat. Remember, there is a difference between living and not dying. Everyone will get to experience the difference. Nourish your body so you can experience the difference from the perspective of living – living a pain-free, medicine-free and doctor-free life.

popular,” she relates, “so when the door opens, sometimes that light is right above the swing of the door.” In those instances, use the door height rather than the ceiling as the guide for length.

Julie Zinsmeister, an American Lighting Association (ALA) lighting specialist, has worked with Brecher’s for 18 years and is an expert on making the lighting process as simple as possible. Since lights are “the jewelry of the house,” as Zinsmeister says, it’s best to buy a fixture as the finishing touch.

“Bronze would pull off dark floors and contrast a lighter color wall,” contends Zinsmeister. If a collection of dark tones seems too Gothic, rest assured that even dark fixtures can be open and inviting with the right accents.

In order to crown your furnished, painted home with a well-designed light, consider three key eleJ U N E 1 6 , 2 0 1 6 • V O I C E -T R I B U N E . C O M

“You don’t want to have a fixture hang below 7 feet off the floor,” Zinsmeister says, “so people can easily walk underneath it.” So how does that determine length of a hanging fixture? Zinsmeister has already done the math for you: With a standard 10-foot ceiling and a7-foot clearing for the light, that gives a maximum length of 36 inches from top to bottom for a fixture. Doorway height is almost just as important in a foyer: “Eight-foot front doors have become very

COLOR Susan Humphress Sizemore, a sales associate, asserts that “everything goes right now” for color and style. However, the battle of the traditional versus contemporary serves as an excellent guide for determining a fixture. For a dining room with dark wood and furniture, Zinsmeister suggests a “long, linear fixture rather than a more traditional round fixture” to match a long, narrow dining table. For a kitchen farmhouse table, dark metals will create the perfect rustic look.

If you prefer the “light and airy” aesthetic that Zinsmeister notes is becoming increasingly popular – perhaps a tile or lighter-floored dining area with

glass, most homeowners want simplicity with clear or frosted glass, or sleek metals.

If you have nickel or chrome in the kitchen with a more traditional round table, opt for a nickel fixture with drum shades of clear glass or white. While the round silhouettes are a nod to traditional chandeliers, the clean, open shape of the drums will make the area transitional and contemporary.

Of course, there are also those who want to revive traditional materials in a contemporary setting: “Brass is making a comeback, just in a different direction,” Zinsmeister says, noting that burnished or antique brass is beating out the old polished style for trendy yet rustic homes. “People like new fixtures that look old,” she describes.

MATERIAL

For exterior fixtures, try cast aluminum, steel or a form of plastic instead of brass, which tarnishes easily outdoors.

Humphress Sizemore notes that when she began working at Brecher’s nearly 27 years ago, the trend was a varied “brass, brass or brass.” Now, a customer might find a wide range of contrasting styles from Pinterest or magazines and find exactly what their heart desires at the Louisville store, which carries over 100 vendors. Zinsmeister explains that people’s tastes are now drifting to more contemporary styles. Rather than heavily ornate fixtures with dated orange or yellow

Overall, softer finishes and warmer colors are safe bets for an inviting home. This applies to bulb temperature as well, which is just as important in creating the ideal ambiance. With LED lights, which Zinsmeister calls “the future of lighting,” temperatures range from cool blue-white tones to warm red-yellow tones. For a cozy living area, warmer is better: “People react better to reds,” she says, noting that the warm tinge in the light mim-

As a well-established and well-respected company, it’s clear that Brecher’s keeps up with technology and stays on the forefront of design trends.

Summertime is finally here, which means camping and bonfires are on everyone’s radar. There are certain snacks that are a requirement for such events, and for good reason, s’mores are the quintessential fireside choice. The only issue for most is that they’re incredibly messy. No one likes sticky fingers, especially when you’re outside and don’t have immediate access to soap and water. Plus, fires are unreliable and unpredictable, so you may get a charred marshmallow or no marshmallow at all because it fell into the burning embers. The solution to this conundrum is making a portable s’mores dessert that is easy, mess-free and safe – like fudge.

rities who grace this fake documentary with their presence while playing themselves or hilarious side characters. A movie-stealer of a running gag involves Will Arnett, Chelsea Peretti, Mike Birbiglia and Eric Andre as the members of a TMZ-like newsroom reveling in snark. This film may be The Lonely Island’s greatest accomplishment, and it unjustly opened poorly at the box-office against lesser movies. It may demand repeat viewings for me to feel sure in my high recommendation, but I feel rather confident that in a couple years, it will find a growing audience. What is sure to make a splash at this weekend’s box office is “Finding Dory,” Disney/ Pixar’s sequel to their beloved 2003 film, “Finding Nemo.” Whether you see this movie in effective 3D or brighter 2D, you can expect a gorgeous display of animation that lovingly renders the atmosphere of the Pacific Coast and its wildlife. The same can be said of Pixar’s new opening short, “Piper.” Even in the loose family-movie genre, I can feel wary of sequels that aren’t called for. Unsurprisingly, Pixar gives this movie a sense of purpose with emotion and hilarity. The continued theme of the fears that come with being a parent works its way into “Dory” quite cleverly as

The rest is quite a funny journey with wondrous sights and a running gag involving the center’s celebrity-endorsed voice of Sigourney Weaver. Like the original, the movie is so often good at being a tearjerker that the interruption of comic relief gets a little tiresome at times, but you can bear in mind that these are the gripes of a childless adult who likes cartoons. Pixar continues to make good movies, and after last year’s brilliantly original “Inside Out,” “Dory” manages to be found in the shadow of that great film – even if it is a sequel no one asked for.

The Work of a King demand was the massive 2,348-seat amphitheater.

Arts & Entertainment

BEN GIERHART

Stephen King is most certainly one of America’s most celebrated and prolific authors. His works have permeated the minds of the masses and become pop culture mainstays since the 1970s. His first novel, “Carrie,” was published in 1974 and spawned several film adaptations while catapulting King into literary superstardom.

“Salem’s Lot.” “The Shining.” “The Stand.” “The Dark Tower.” Odds are that you’ve heard these titles before, even if you’ve never actually read them. You may have seen such films as “The Green Mile” and “The Shawshank Redemption,” some of the greatest films of all time, and never realized that they are adapted from some of Stephen King’s finest stories.

@BenGierhart_BEP

Despite the unexpected and miserable rain, rabid fans turned out in droves to attend Stephen King’s first public appearance in Louisville at Iroquois Amphitheater on June 12, a venture that was made possible by Carmichael’s Bookstore, Louisville’s oldest independent bookstore. The community’s interest in King was so intense that one of the only venues that could handle the

King has the unique capacity to affect his readers in a way that transcends genre. He most assur-

edly knows how to scare us. In fact, it’s what he’s best known for. He also knows how to confound us, how to amuse use and how to touch us. He does all those things regularly, winning mountains of accolades along the way, including the National Book Foundation’s Medal for Distinguished Contribution to American Letters in 2003, the National Medal of Arts in 2014 and several Bram Stoker Awards. On the night of his appearance in Louisville, however, I was given the rare opportunity to hear the man speak. When I was in school, King was perhaps not given as much clout and merit as authors like Fitzgerald, Faulkner or Hemingway, but I, my mother and many of my teachers noted that his work was just as influential in the American literary landscape as any of theirs. In my mind at least, he was their equivalent. When he stepped on stage on Sunday, June 12, I was not at all surprised. He seemed to embody the spirit of that ever-present narrator in his work, a man with a trove of experience and wisdom to be sure but also a bit of a smart mouth and a lewd turn of phrase. I realized all at once that he was everything I knew he would be. King spoke freely about himself, relating amusing stories accumulated over a career that has spanned nearly half a century. One story I’ll never forget is how he compartmentalizes different aspects of his personality in order to live his life. According to King, one part of him is the Stephen who does things around the house and goes to the grocery. One Stephen is the one I was currently seeing, a public face for his work when he’s on tour. The third Stephen, the one he says he works hard to make sure we never meet, is the one behind the writer’s workshop in his mind, the designer of his horrific plotlines and characters. It’s the sort of insight that only a writer could share. Also on the agenda was a reading from his latest novel, “End of Watch,” the conclusion to his Bill Hodges trilogy. I hadn’t had a chance to read the earlier novels in the series, but a few minutes of hearing from the last piece was more than enough to whet my desire to start.

Stephen King received a Louisville Slugger from Carol Besse of Carmichael’s Bookstore.

Purchasing a ticket to the event also provided attendees with a book voucher. After the conclusion of King’s talk, the Carmichael’s employees patiently led each and every event attendee up on stage and exchanged vouchers for copies of “End of Watch.” Four hundred of the books were signed completely at random, so with a sold-out event, that gave each attendee a roughly one-insix shot of snagging a signed copy. It was amusing to watch as lucky fans would occasionally jump up and down or shout in joy as they opened the cover of their books. PHOTOS BY TIM VALENTINO

perhaps a much easier sell to a general audience.

I, for one, had read the story it was based on – appearing in his collection “Different Seasons” in 1982 – but never seen the film. It definitely maintains King’s trademark voice and humor, which is perhaps its biggest success, and since there are no supernatural elements in the story to speak of, it is

As I watched the film, I couldn’t help but think of Stephen King’s position in the literary world, how he’s accomplished so much – produced so many beloved works of breathtaking complexity, terror and beauty. And then, I smiled because I know he’s not done yet. VT

DAVID BELL AT CARMICHAEL’S BOOKSTORE From David Bell, bestselling author of “Somebody I Used to Know” and “Forgotten Girl,” comes another “spellbinding and gripping” novel of guilt, regret and friendship with “Since She Went Away.” When Jenna Barton received the text message from her lifelong best friend, Celia Walters, with a single request – “Want to meet in the park at 12?” – she jumped at the chance to re-live some old high school fun. Jenna was running late to meet Celia that night. But Celia never arrived – and hasn’t been seen since. A master of the smalltown layered thriller, in “Since She Went Away,” David Bell has crafted another smart, suspenseful novel that proves why Suspense Magazine has called him “one of the brightest and best crime fiction writers of our time.” Bell will be signing copies of his book at the Frankfort Avenue location of Carmichael’s Bookstore on June 23 starting at 7 p.m. MORE INFO 502.896.6950

We at Blue Equity Publishing, like the rest of the nation, are simply at a loss for words regarding the devastating tragedy that took place in Orlando last weekend. Certainly, we are proud to publish Modern Louisville, giving voice and representation to the LGBTQ community of Louisville, and we extend our most heartfelt sympathies to those affected by the events at Pulse nightclub. Though we cannot begin to understand the pain that is being felt by so many, we ardently encourage all to continue raising their voice and never waver in being proud of who they are.

PUZZLES

pets of the week Meet Susie, a gorgeous 10-year-old domestic shorthair mix who came to the Kentucky Humane Society as a stray. Soon after she arrived, it became clear to the staff that she didn’t walk normally and that her back end was also abnormal. After getting radiographs done, we learned that her lower spine had been broken but has healed already. It does not appear to cause her any pain, and she does not let it stop her from getting around! Susie has quickly become a staff favorite due to her sweet and loving demeanor. She is already spayed, micro-chipped and up-to-date on vaccinations. Susie is also front and back declawed. Susie is at our adoption center at the Pewee Valley Feeders Supply, 12406 La Grange Road. Seven-year-old Beans is a Beagle mix whose family could no longer care for him. He is a sweet boy who loves walks and relaxing with the family. Beans loves food very much and would do best in a home where he can be fed alone. Beans is true to his Beagle roots and would love time to investigate outside. If you have space in your home and heart for this sweet boy, please come see him today at the Kentucky Humane Society. He’s neutered, micro-chipped and up-todate on his vaccinations. Beans is staying at our adoption center in the Fern Creek Feeders Supply, 6820 Bardstown Road.

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