Flavor Food Trucks of
Story by Kellie Doligale
It comes as no surprise that a place called “Possibility City” is bursting with ideas from people willing to take a risk and merge passion with livelihood. A select group of such individuals are the food truck entrepreneurs of Louisville. As diverse as their menus, each one has a unique approach to the trade but a similar goal of making their customers genuinely happy. Any true local will point out that dining options here are so numerous and diverse that food has to be truly delicious to survive. Food truckers have stripped away every unnecessary commodity and instead directed effort at meeting that demand. Visible at regular events such as the Flea Off Market, music festivals like Forecastle and Louder Than Life, or the regular downtown lunch circuit, these businesses are consistently answering Louisville’s call for the truly scrumptious. The business is as much a lifestyle as a vocation, one that requires unwavering commitment to face professional hurdles like finances, regulations and networking on top of logistical challenges like weather and parking. Profiled here are five of Louisville’s most popular food trucks and their owners. Propelled by willpower as much as by an engine, each one serves up a flavorful story.

Hi-Five Doughnuts Like the treat they’ve turned into a career, Hi-Five Doughnuts owners Annie Harlow and Leslie Wilson are sweet and inexplicably playful. In 2013, they founded their business with a tent and an agreement to give it their all, hoping to ultimately open a shop of their own. After graduating to a truck affectionately named Shelby, they’ve become one of the more popular mobile indulgences in town, serving a classic treat with the kind of fresh per-
spective that would make Willy Wonka proud. “We’re surprised every time,” Annie raves. “We had no idea the reception we would get. Every time we go out, my mind is blown.” More mind-blowing than their success, however, are the goods. The glazes alone – bourbon caramel, peanut butter and a fresh fruit option made from local produce during the summer – are enough to salivate over, but customers can go a step further and add any number of toppings ranging from bacon to Fruity Pebbles. Despite the choices, they still insist you can’t go wrong with the original. “If you don’t have a good plain glazed doughnut,” Leslie insists, “then you just don’t have a good product.” Over time, these commanders of confection have become aware that as women, they’re in the minority not just as food truckers but as culinary

entrepreneurs in general. “There’s only a couple other trucks that are femaleowned,” Annie explains. “We’re not even a handful. We’ve been really lucky and embraced by the community, but you don’t want to be dismissed as some young girl. We’re in our 30s, we’re business owners and we’re women.” Annie and Leslie plan to open a storefront later this year but keep Shelby up and running for private events. They agree that credit for their success goes to a receptive community and steadfast teamwork. “I don’t think I could have done it with anybody else,” Leslie praises, and it’s clear there are no holes in their partnership.

Holy Molé One of Louisville’s first food trucks, Holy Molé has brought simple, authentic Mexican tacos to the proverbial table since 2011 when owner and operator Max Balliet took advantage of the national attention suddenly directed at the concept of meals on wheels. He recalls that Louisville was distinctly lacking in food trucks at the time. Keeping ahead of the game, he brought the now-beloved bright green truck to life in 2011 with a partner and never
looked back. “I had a lot of people telling me it was a bad idea, but we were too far invested to turn back. And I’m really glad we didn’t.” One thing they didn’t take risks on was the cuisine: “The quintessential food truck has always been the taco truck,” he contends. “When I think of a food truck, I think of tacos. It’s the ultimate form, in my opinion.” And to that end, Max delivers form without fuss. Because every ingredient he serves is homemade – every sauce, every salsa, every savory meat – prep is done ahead of time at a rented kitchen, and the truck brings out the goods. “It’s the way I prefer to do it,” he says. “Our truck is very much purpose-built to get tacos out as quickly as possible.” Fast they may be, but these tacos are far from fast food. Adhering to a traditional taqueria style, corn tortillas are steamed and stuffed with a choice of
J U LY 2 1 , 2 0 1 6 • V O I C E -T R I B U N E . C O M
8
classic ingredients like carnitas, chorizo, fish, onions, cilantro, sour cream, queso fresco and lime. “My heart is in the Yucatan Peninsula,” Max muses. The occasional departure from traditional Mexican results in the crowd-pleasing tofu and kimchi taco, the “super limited” soft-shell crab taco or a special fried chicken-based menu just for Forecastle. At the end of the day, Max is content to keep his menu, his prices and his philosophy simple. “With what we do, you don’t need a dinner or a platter,” he says. “To me, it should really just be a taco stand. I don’t want to interfere with anything that would take away from that.”

502 Cafe When Chris Williams emerges from the kitchen of 502 Cafe’s storefront location on UofL’s campus, his exhausted but happy expression epitomizes the barbeque life’s cornerstone of giving people what they love. “We weren’t supposed to open until noon,” he says, “but people were already outside so we went ahead and let them in.” It’s no surprise that customers line up for what Chris calls “smoked goodness”: brisket sandwiches, pulled pork and baby
back ribs to name a few, plus mouthwatering sides like truffle mac and cheese, baked beans and smoked corn on the cob. “Barbeque is definitely a labor of love because it takes so much time.” That labor began four years ago with a smoker, a table, a tent and the conviction of “If you smoke it, they will come.” Great barbeque and good word of mouth eventually allowed Chris to purchase a food truck. “I wanted the freedom of setting my hours and going where I wanted to go,” he explains simply. The brick-andmortar restaurant followed just this year with partner Anthony Happel, and one might conclude that business is good when customers are anxious to get in before noon on a Sunday. Chris’ foremost investment is in his customers’ happiness. The growth of his business has effectively abated one of the food truck business’ greatest downsides – even if the barbe-

que-starved people of Louisville can’t find the truck, they can get their fix at the restaurant. The truck travels to a handful of locations throughout the week, but the smokers are always running at base camp. “It’s been organized chaos trying to manage both at the same time,” he says. “I try to get to the big events on the truck. It breaks up the monotony." Despite 502 Cafe’s phases of evolution and success, one thing remains the same. “The thing that motivates me most,” Chris reveals in his naturally relaxing tone, “is seeing people eat my food, and they close their eyes and nod. It doesn’t get old.”

The Traveling Kitchen The story of Pagva Victor’s foray into the food truck business, like his journey to the U.S. from his home in Mongolia, was a fully immersive leap of faith. Knowing absolutely no one stateside, he discovered a passion for cooking while working a range of positions in the service industry, and that energy, combined with his willingness to learn, manifested in a truck called The Traveling Kitchen four years ago. “I didn’t have a lot of connections when I opened my truck, so I just had
to find a spot and open the window,” he says. “Since day one, I’ve been doing this full-time.” That hard work has paid off, as his exotic fare is now a staple with the lunch crowd downtown. Offerings include bulgogi beef, teriyaki chicken, spicy pork and tempura fish or veggie options. “The Korean taco is amazing because it’s small and portable, but the inside is authentic food you’d be willing to sit down for.” He also credits the ever-curious locals for their consistent willingness to embrace something new. “A few years ago, you couldn’t write ingredients like kimchi and bulgogi on the menu, but now, everybody’s become so adventurous. We all grow with it.” Monday through Friday, The Traveling Kitchen is parked in a metered spot, which Pagva carefully scouts and selects for maximum exposure. His approach to the business, he explains, continues to be driven by research and diligence,

even though he was among the first food truckers in the city and a founding member of the Louisville Food Truck Association. “I didn’t even have Facebook when I started,” he recalls. “But you’ve got to be on top of it.” On top of it he is, as he reliably posts where to find The Traveling Kitchen on the social network throughout the week. Four years of business have brought Pagva success and competition alike, but he says he’s happy to see the industry thriving in Louisville. “I just wanted to sell something and have people like it,” he confides. “This is a good environment for food trucks. Everybody is out there trying food. It’s amazing.”

Pollo The notion of fried chicken in a food truck is transparent enough, but husband-and-wife team Troy King and Selena Johnson have gone 10 steps further and created the Pollo Gourmet Chicken bus. The 40-foot city bus-turned-eatery turns out the finger-licking goodness Kentuckians are reputed to devour with the bon vivant flare you can expect from Louisvillians. The start was simple enough: “We live on the east side and basically said
to ourselves that there’s no good fried chicken over there,” says Troy, a former restaurant manager. Once they mastered the poultry, creativity flourished. “We take fried chicken and turn it into tacos, quesadillas, grilled cheese sandwiches, fried chicken sushi, chicken and waffles, chicken wings with about 15 different sauces,” he trails. “We’re not KFC. There are no buckets.” Only recently have they begun offering French fries, but the jalapeño mac and cheese is a side sure to please. Now popular on the special events circuit, their bus boasts a commercial kitchen in the front and dining area in the back. In 2014, Troy purchased the bus in Florida and drove it back up to Kentucky where it was gutted and revamped as the impossible-to-miss black and pink culinary caravan. They also operate other smaller vehicles, all with the same objective to deliver excellent fried chicken.

“We are pretty unique because we have multiple units, but we’re not a chain. It’s all still local,” Troy explains. “We never thought we would do weddings, but we’ve done four so far this year with more booked. [Food trucks] are a lot more economical than standard caterers.” While Troy runs the kitchen, Selena helms the administrative. “You definitely have to be an entrepreneur even if you only like the aspect of cooking for others,” Troy says. They credit this straightforward strategy for their rapid growth and are eager to see the industry continue to expand in Louisville. “We definitely need a food truck park.” Agreed.

Farm to Fun in Henry County
hough it seems that times have never been moving faster, Jakob Beckley and the rest of the committee of this year’s Henry County Harvest Showcase are aiming to work against the trend and encourage folks to have a little fun along the way.

Now in his second year on the committee and serving as the marketing chairperson, Beckley has Business made it his personal mission to work with others to raise money BEN and market the Showcase. “We are GIERHART totally donation funded. Our non@BenGierhart_BEP profit receives a grant from the Kentucky Agricultural Development Fund.

That’s right.

is of the utmost importance to Beckley. “It’s the biggest thing that I’m trying to promote this year,” he says. “Just different things that people can come and learn about. It’s a great educational day for those from Louisville and other big cities in the state. Come out and see where your food is grown.” The committee of the Showcase definitely wants to promote the significance of farming and other agricultural pursuits, but it also wants attendees to have a good time. There’s a tractor pull and parade as well as a host of animals to fawn over or even buy. “Along with the food and everything, we have a pretty fair lineup of entertainment under our mainstage,” Beckley boasts. Attendees can sit, enjoy their food and listen to some music from the high school marching band and local music groups, hear stories read aloud by employees of the Henry County Public Library and so much more. And it’s all free. “We live in a rural community and not many people have a lot of money,” offers Beckley. “This is just an event where it’s free for everyone and the kids can have fun.” While admitting that the committee would like attendees to spend money and buy products at the Showcase in order to fund the event for the next year, Beckley stresses that it’s not a necessity. “If you don’t want to, you can still have a great time. Just enjoy yourself, eat some good farm-to-table food and have a great day.” VT The 17th Annual Henry County Harvest Showcase is Saturday, July 30 from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. at 1106 Castle Highway, Eminence, KY.

business briefs THE WARRIOR EMPOWERMENT FOUNDATION DONATES MORE THAN $100,000
The Louisville-based Warrior Empowerment Foundation (WEF) recently donated more than $100,000 to several area nonprofit organizations serving wounded veterans, active servicemembers and their caregivers. The Warrior Empowerment Foundation, founded in Louisville in 2013, serves, supports and empowers injured members of the U.S. Armed Forces and their caregivers. Major funding for the donations was raised in large part from the WEF’s annual Tribute To Troops event held each October. Recent gifts were made to the following organizations: USA Cares, 412th Civil Affairs Battalion Alumni Fund, Coalition for the Homeless Veteran Project, Volunteers of America, Salvation Army Transitional Housing for Veterans and St. Vincent DePaul. LOCAL ORGANIZATION PROVIDES SAFE WATER TO HELP TO REBUILD ECUADOR Louisville-based nonprofit WaterStep is in the process of rebuilding communities in Ecuador that were recently hit by the 7.8 magnitude earthquake. Thanks to the help of a professor and 14 students from Indiana University Southeast, 46 of WaterStep's M-100 chlorinators were safely transported to Ecuador to provide safe water in quake-stricken regions. WaterStep hosted a 10-hour virtual training session on Wednesday, June 29, where 27 people from eight different Ecuadorian organiza-

This is the largest one-day training that WaterStep has hosted through its virtual classroom program since it started more than two years ago. The relief workers will now begin installing the mini water treatment systems throughout Ecuador, which will provide up to half a million gallons of safe water a day to approximately 50,000 displaced refugees. The workers were also trained in health and hygiene education in order to help prevent the spread of disease in refugee camps.

The Old College Try: Fading Away?
A
ndrew Harrison showed enough in the NBA Summer League to earn a contract with the Memphis Grizzlies. James Young, not so much.
If Young fails to renew his contract, is it back to the D-League for him? Or will he follow so many other athletes to Europe?
Catnip
How much did Ulis hone his pro-level skills by playing two years under John Calipari, with and against some outstanding players? Was the 5-foot-9 point guard NBA-ready right out of high school?
STEVE KAUFMAN
As a first-round pick in 2014, it is presumed Young was guaranteed at least a good share of his original $3 million contract. Not everyone else is so lucky. According to a recent column in The New York Times by Harvey Araton, “Players [in the D-League] were paid within a tiered system that topped out in the $25,000 range for a 50-game schedule (plus playoffs).” Paul Suellentrop, who covers Wichita State sports for The Wichita (Kansas) Eagle, explains: “First-round picks get guaranteed contracts. Some second-rounders do [e.g., Tyler Ulis]. Players without guaranteed contracts get D-League salaries.” So Europe has proved to be an enticing option for NBA rejects crossing the Atlantic from here to there. But Europe also presents another opportunity for young basketball players who cross the ocean from there to here. An eye-opening trend in this year’s NBA draft was the number of international players selected. Some, like Dragan Bender (Croatian playing in Israel) and Georgios Papagiannis (Greece), come out of the international youth programs. Some, like Jakob Poeltl (Austria) and Domantas Sabonis (Lithuania), played for American colleges. And then there was Thon Maker, a Sudanese-born Australian national heavily recruited by colleges who exposed a hole in the system by opting to spend his required year after high school at an “athlete institute” prep school in Canada. What was it Maker feared about college? The 8 a.m. classes? The chemistry midterm? Fraternity hazing? As blogger Ryan Phillips wrote on biglead. com, “The intention of the NBA’s rule was to ensure players either go to college, play internationally or play in the D-League for a season before turning professional. Maker did none of those things, and other top high school players could decide to do the same thing. Why go to college, face top-level competition and be forced to attend classes when players could just hide in a prep school and dominate for a year?” J U LY 2 1 , 2 0 1 6 • V O I C E -T R I B U N E . C O M
“Why go to college?” That’s another part of this argument that troubles me – the one that says these 18-year-olds are wasting a year in school. I like to think there is some benefit to spending a year on a college campus. Maybe it’s not entirely a classroom benefit.
Or Jamal Murray, who came to Camp Cal proclaiming, “No shot is a bad shot for me.” Maybe he learned some discipline and shot-selection. (Although looking at his Summer League video suggests he might be regressing.)
found an alternate route. We seem to be caught in a no-man’s land, between the purity we once regarded as college sports and the huge-dollar financial enterprise that we know college sports to be. We could cling to what’s left of that old-college-try ideal. We could keep pretending that a year in school, even if it’s an enforced basic training, is good for everyone involved. But let’s face it, the primary beneficiary is not the athlete on scholarship; it’s the NCAA, the athletic departments, the well paid coaches. If we, the rooting public, also enjoy it, that’s just a crumb we’re tossed. Enjoy your crumb. For Kentucky basketball fans, at least, sometimes it does taste like filet mignon. VT
OK, so let’s acknowledge, at long last, that there’s college, and then there’s college sports. In most cases, the two have little to do with one another. Maybe those of us who promote the idea of an athlete’s time on campus as one of learning and growing up, like it was for most of us, are being delusional. Then what? Then college basketball becomes purely a minor league system feeding the pros. On the way, though, it is a lucrative money machine for America’s universities. Then how do the people who carve out the rules guarantee that this lucrative college system will remain functional? Football seems to have solved the issue simply by requiring a second year in college. “Two-and-done” is not nearly as poetic as the basketball version. In basketball, they cut off the high-school-tothe-pros route that many, like Kobe Bryant and LeBron James, successfully took. And then Maker

If the Cardinals want to avoid being lumped into the “everyone else” portion of the growing belief that the ACC is “Florida State, Clemson and everyone else,” then the time to knock off one of the league’s top dogs is now. It’s not like Louisville hasn’t had the opportunity to make this happen in years one or two. The Cards have been one play away from upsetting Clemson in each of the past two seasons, and they led Florida State at halftime in both 2014 and 2015. Proving that you’re able to compete with the best is all well and good, but if Louisville is serious about showcasing its ability to challenge for a nation-

As nostalgic as many Cardinal fans (and Rick Pitino) may be for Madison Square Garden and the old Big East Tournament, there’s no question that the ACC Tournament is taking its old place as college basketball’s showcase table-setter for the big dance. The tournament has moved into the Big East’s old primetime Saturday night slot on ESPN and is even moving to the Barclays Center in Brooklyn this season. The Big East Tournament memories from the Garden are always going to be tough to match, but making a run against the country’s best in New York next March would certainly be a refreshing throwback.

figure to start 2016-17 with a national ranking and a shot at an extremely memorable season. There are no guarantees when it comes to the postseason in college sports, but I don’t think it’s unreasonable to expect at least one of these four teams to end their season on their sport’s biggest stage. For football, that would be either the four-team playoff or a New Year’s Six bowl. For the basketball teams, it would be the Final Four, and for baseball it would be getting over the super regional hump and back to Omaha for the College World Series. THE MEN’S SOCCER TEAM TO HAVE A BOUNCE-BACK YEAR Louisville soccer making a run in the NCAA Tournament had become one of the better new, winter traditions in this city up until last season, when the team missed the big dance for the first time in a decade. Ken Lolla will never let his program stay down, and he has all the pieces necessary for a return to the national scene in 2016. Cardinal fans should once again expect the men’s soccer team to provide an additionally pleasant distraction during the heart of football and basketball season.

The Cards captured just one conference championship (baseball doesn’t officially count regular season titles) in 2015-16, a number that should be bettered this coming season. I don’t think four is too high a bar to set. VT V O I C E -T R I B U N E . C O M • J U LY 2 1 , 2 0 1 6

Turner Renews His Fame Bobby Turner was inducted into the Kentucky High School Basketball Hall of Fame on July 9. The former Male High School and University of Louisville star grew up with Cards all-time leading scorer Darrell Griffith. Turner and Griffith led the Bulldogs to the 1975 KHSAA Sweet 16 Championship. Turner was UofL’s second leading scorer (13.6 ppg) in 1978-79. He missed the entire 1979-80 season for academic reasons. UofL, led by Griffith, won the National Championship in 1980. He was one of 17 inductees in the fifth class for the KHSBB Hall of Fame, which is in Elizabethtown. What does this honor mean to you?
Did you ever play professionally?
It means everything in the world to me. All the hard work and all the good players I played with. I give a lot of credit to my teammates because without them, I wouldn’t be in the Hall of Fame. I just can’t put into words how special it is.
I played in the Philippines for a couple of years. I got a chance to play a little pro ball and make some money. I went to the Knicks camp and I got cut toward the end of camp. They had Michael Ray Richardson and Ray Williams and a lot of their guys had no cut contracts, which made it a lot harder for a young guy like me.
Describe yourself as a player.
Taylor’s 10 KENT TAYLOR WAVE3 Sports
I played kind of a physical game. I liked to rebound and didn’t mind mixing it up under the basket. Played a rough style but had a soft outside shot. I could post up. I was the kind of player – I would do anything it took for us to win. That was the main thing with me. What was it like playing with Griff ? Playing with a guy as good as Darrell was, I always wanted to be that other guy to take the pressure off of him. If teams would try to double-team him, I would usually have pretty good games after that. My job was to take the pressure off of him. I was another guy who could score. I just enjoyed playing with him since we were kids. We always had those dreams about being really good and going to college. We were just really dedicated. We practiced every day, day in and day out, every day, no days off. J U LY 2 1 , 2 0 1 6 • V O I C E -T R I B U N E . C O M
Did you and Darrell talk about staying home and bringing a National Championship to UofL? He’s a big part of our community. When he was a kid, one thing I loved about Darrell was that he was always dedicated. There were days when he was like, “Come on, Turner, let’s go play.” I was like, “Man, there’s three inches of snow on the ground.” That’s all right, we would just get the brooms and sweep it off to side. He said we couldn’t take any days off. We spent a lot of time with one another. Could he always jump so high? Griff and I learned how to do that together. His parents, in their backyard, they had a court, but they had a garage that you could jump off of and that’s how we learned how to dunk. We would jump off the garage and boost

ourselves up and dunk. Darrell said, “You know what, man, I’m getting tired of jumping off this garage; I’m gonna go on and try to do it.” So he comes down, cuffs the ball and slams it. And I’m like, “If you can do it, I know I can do it.” I’d say it was about eighth grade when we started dunking. How did Muhammad Ali play a part in your and Griff ’s ending up at UofL? When we were seniors in high school, we got that call from the Greatest of All Time, Muhammad Ali, for us to go to Louisville. He calls me – I hang up because I thought somebody was playing. He calls right back and says, “Son, don’t hang up.” He said, “You’re talking to the Greatest of All Time.” I said, “Champ, I’m sorry. I didn’t know it was you. He said, “Look, since you hung up on me, you gotta do me a favor and stay home and go to the University of Louisville because you know I’m a big fan. I would love to see you guys stay home.” That meant a lot for a 17-year-old kid getting a call from Muhammad Ali. I went to school the next day and said, “Griff did you get your call?” He started smiling. I said, “Muhammad Ali call you?” He said, “Yeah, he called me too.” I said that Coach Crum must have had him give us a call, and that call went a long way with us. He talked to us for 15 or 20 minutes. He grew up like three or four blocks from where we grew up. He went to the same elementary school we went to, same junior high. VT

entucky Premier has produced some fine talent over the years, and the program continues to groom some of the best athletes the college basketball world has seen. Erin Toller, Kristen Clemons and Destinee Marshall are three individuals who have put the time and effort into their practice and are about to at last start seeing the payoff.
sometimes I am leaning toward the other. But right now, I am still split.”
High School Sports Report
In basketball, the three girls have looked up to Grace Berger at Sacred Heart Academy, who led the team last year in scoring. They all will be attending as freshman next season, and Clemons already considers her a mentor.
RANDY WHETSTONE JR.
“Those three girls do extra,” says Kentucky Premier Coach Dajuan Bibb of the girls’ work ethic. “They are consistently working out and doing their own training. Anything team-related, they are involved. So sky is the limit for these three girls. They get it, know how much work is required and are doing it.” All three girls are in the Class of 2020, but they aren’t waiting until then to consider their college destinations. Erin Toller, who has received interest from Western Kentucky and the University of Kentucky, appreciates these schools’ recognition but is eager to grow more as a player. “It means a lot, but that is just two schools,” she reasons. “I am still growing and still getting older. So I have more colleges looking at me for the future.” She believes Kentucky Premier has enhanced her game, considering the tougher competition they face outside the state of Kentucky. “It has been good,” Toller says about her experience at Kentucky Premier. “I played with them in seventh grade. We get to go out of town more and play better competition than what we play in Kentucky.” Toller has great energy in the game and takes teammate accountability seriously. In her skill set, she says the program has helped her in dribbling and shooting.
“I played with her in a bunch of games and practices, and I have gotten to know her really well. I admire her leadership and how she is a very humble player. She also leads the team really well.” As a point guard, Marshall has been proving her critics wrong ever since she was in elementary school. After all, the proof is in the acclaim. “I am getting all these letters, and now I tell myself I can do it and I am going to make it.”
Coach Bibb adds that these three players play an integral part in Kentucky Premier continuing to grow as a program. “They really bring the exposure to the Louisville area,” Bibb asserts. “Underclassmen who are younger than them in Louisville get to see the work that is required to be on one of the top Kentucky Premier teams and the work that is required just to get to this level. Those three are great representatives for Louisville, and I am looking forward to them blossoming at every level throughout their career with Kentucky Premier.” VT
Western Kentucky, Texas Tech and UK are on her radar, so she intentionally takes her point guard duties seriously at Kentucky Premier. “If you’re a point guard or any position, you have to be a team player. It is not just about you. You have to get your teammates involved. If one is down, you have to pick them up and tell them, ‘You’re doing good.’ Points are not all that matters. You can help in assists, rebounds and steals. You don’t have to always score; you just have to be a factor.”
Meanwhile, the University of Louisville, Texas Tech, Purdue and UCLA have all expressed interest in and given attention to Kristen Clemons. She appreciates the chance to play before college coaches during the summertime and in fact has also received interest from UCLA in volleyball.
She seeks to be a factor next season for the Valkyries. She said Coach Moir of Sacred Heart reminds her of Coach Geno Auriemma, head coach at Connecticut.
“I’ve always loved both sports,” she emphasizes. “Sometimes I am leaning toward one, and

basically she is not going to tell me anything wrong. It’s good to have a good coach like her because everything she says is positive. Everything she says I have to take as great advice because it will help me excel.”

Though in other areas there are those who may be surprised that a weekly newspaper regularly publishes a horseracing column, Asher attests that there was never a dearth of material to discuss in his weekly installments. “It’s been a great opportunity to talk about our sport and talk about it yearround,” he says. “This is a horseracing town and a horseracing region, so the subject’s important to a lot of people throughout the year. For others, they warm up around Derby time or meet times, but there’s a lot of fascinating things that go on throughout the year. So it’s been a great opportunity to just keep a discussion of our sport and our business on the table on a weekly basis.” Over his time as a contributor, Asher garnered many dedicated fans, thanks in no small part to the exoteric language he always utilized in his columns. There was something for everyone – from those unfamiliar with the industry to those who never miss a race. “That’s a goal I always had in doing it:

and she didn’t have to do that. And she managed to find a way to get me to Louisville for a visit to Churchill Downs when I was a freshman in high school. I grew up about an hour and a half away, but I didn’t have the opportunity to go to the track on a regular basis. I was lucky enough to watch coverage of the races on TV or listen to it on the radio, but there’s no substitute for seeing the Twin Spires in person for the first time. But she always encouraged me, and when she passed, I wrote a column about her passing and what her support had meant to me.”
THE PASSION’S STILL THERE,
Another momentous moment came about halfway through his time as a regular Voice-Tribune writer. “2007 was special for me,” he affirms. “That was a pretty terrific group of horses. We had Street Sense win the Kentucky Derby, and he was one of my favorite horses over the years. Also, a great horse named Curlin was in there – a two-time Horse of the Year. And a filly named Rags to Riches won the Belmont Stakes that year, so that Triple Crown was pretty special to me.”
but the time is not!
However, there is one specific time that truly stands above the rest, a time that had Asher reconcile his current career with his childhood love of Thoroughbred racing in a deeply personal way. “There was one column in particular that I wrote when my mother passed; she encouraged me when I fell in love with Thoroughbred racing,

Without question, John Asher has been an integral part of The Voice-Tribune for nearly two decades. I, on behalf of all of Blue Equity Publishing, thank John for his knowledgeable articles that were always written in a style that was both deeply informative and engagingly conversational. His passion for horseracing shone through with each piece, and his contributions will certainly be missed, though perhaps we can still look forward to the occasional feature. Farewell for now, John, and thank you for you for sharing your unparalleled “horse sense” with us. VT

NEW RESTAURANT ALERT SET at Theatre Square held a soft opening last week in preparation for its official opening, which took place July 18. SET is in the space formerly occupied by Cunningham’s and directly across the street from The Louisville Palace and Mercury Ballroom. Partners in this swanky restaurant are Kirk Stallings and Joey Wagner. The executive chef is Geoff Hyde formerly with Owl Creek Country Club and the Village Anchor in Anchorage.

DELICIOUS FUN & FOOD Ellen Timmons gave one of her famous summer dinner parties the other evening at her home in Rolling Fields. It is an interesting house with a wide stairway just inside the front door that leads guests down to the lower walk out terrace level. Her invitations are sought after because she always has such an eclectic, fascinating, interesting mix of friends – people you love to be with and haven’t seen in ages along with lots of wild stories. Gathering on the lower terrace surrounding the bar, were Corky Sachs, Cliff Todd, Brenda Light, Beaver McMahan, Barbara Partlow, Jack Roby and Becky Masden. Everyone was talking at the same time and having a wonderful time.

The space is actually the first floor of the spacious parking garage, which is on the former site of the Rialto and Mary Anderson Theatres, not to mention the Blue Boar Restaurant. Entrance to the garage is conveniently off of Fifth Street, and you don’t even have to go outside (in the rain) to enter this really terrific new space. The food “looks back and around town” in some cases. There is a Cunningham’s fish sandwich, a well executed Hot Brown and green chili wontons. One of the starters is a trio of sliders served on a board with a slugger baseball bat sticking straight up. A half dozen deviled eggs come on an egg plate inside of a chicken wire “coop” of sorts. Stallings is particularly proud of using “props” like this to reinforce the theatrical nature of the neighborhood.

Husband Wants Long-Lost Sister To Remain That Way DEAR ABBY: My husband and his sister had a rough childhood in foster care. Long story short, they lost contact for 10 years – until now.

SPOTLIGHT
Christmas in July
On July 30, The Salvation Army in conjunction with Wisdom Financial Management, LLC will host a free screening of “How the Grinch Stole Christmas” as a way to help raise back-to-school supplies for kids in need during its Christmas in July campaign. The event will kick off at 10:15 a.m. To get more information about the cause behind the screening, we chatted with Salvation Army Director of Community Relations David Yarmuth as well as Jim Yockey of Wisdom Financial Management, LLC. What is The Salvation Army’s Christmas in July? Yarmuth: Each year, The Salvation Army promotes a Christmas in July campaign as a way to remind the community that “Need Has No Season” – that families who struggle during the holidays are also struggling throughout the year. Typically, we concentrate our efforts on educating the community about our many programs and services that help those who are vulnerable, such as our community kitchen, shelters, transitional housing programs and emergency disaster services. This year, however, our campaign is event-driven thanks to Jim Yockey and Wisdom Financial Management, LLC. Our focus this July is on providing back-toschool supplies for children whose families have reached out requesting assistance – nearly 130 thus far. We are humbled by Jim’s commitment to serving the needs of others and to helping ensure these children have the best chance of succeeding when the school year begins. What can attendees expect at the “Grinch” event? Yockey: Online registration is available to get tickets to come to the theater (wisdomchristmasinjuly.net); guests’ arrival will be greeted by both Salvation Army and Wisdom personnel and maybe some carolers. Attendees will be given an angel from the Angel Tree, and once they are in the theater, they’ll receive a brief explanation and demonstration of what to shop for to fill a backpack with supplies for J U LY 2 1 , 2 0 1 6 • V O I C E -T R I B U N E . C O M
their angel (JCPS provided the list, which they will get a copy of) and where to drop off the backpacks. Then we will start the movie “How the Grinch Stole Christmas” and have fun. Why is the event important for the community? Yarmuth: The event is important because, in many ways, we all share the burden of having an educated society. It benefits the children who attend school and the communities they will eventually live in. But when there are so many families who struggle just to make ends meet, having to purchase the necessary school supplies each year is an added burden, especially when tough financial choices are being made each month. This event is an opportunity for others to step up and help lift that burden, ensuring that when these kids head back to the classroom they don’t have to worry about not having the basics like backpacks, notebooks, pencils and the myriad of other supplies needed to do their work. This is a very compassionate community, one that always comes together to benefit those who are struggling whether it be Christmas or any other time of the year. We see that with Wisdom Financial’s involvement. Jim Yockey is just one person who said, “I want to make a difference,” and we’ve seen throughout history that even one person’s passion for helping others can have a tremendous impact. But it is also true that “many hands make light work,” so we absolutely hope the community rallies behind this effort.
52
What difference do you hope this event makes in the lives of its beneficiaries? Yockey: The event is planned to support children and education by providing adequate school supplies for them to begin the school year. While public schools are supported with tax dollars, the fact is that parents share the cost burden at almost every turn. Teachers too often buy and make available free school supplies for those whose parents are having a more difficult time making ends meet. By showing the teachers, parents and, most importantly, the children that our community wants them to succeed and is willing to help out even a little – it seems that that effort just may engage a child’s greater interest in learning. Is it too late to get involved? Yarmuth: There’s still plenty of time for folks to get involved. For those interested in getting behind this important effort and seeing a terrific family-friendly movie, they can reserve their tickets at wisdomchristmasinjuly.net. Once they arrive, they’ll be able to select a back-to-school angel from the tree, and then following the movie, they’ll have until August 8 to purchase and return the requested school supplies for that child to either The Salvation Army (911 S. Brook St.) or to Wisdom Financial Management offices (101 Bullitt Lane, Suite G-5.) Thank you for helping The Salvation Army and Wisdom Financial Management continue “Doing the Most Good” for our community! VT

It’s not like going to a health club or going to an aerobics class,” says Haddad. Obviously, their methodology is different than that of most cookie-cutter gyms, but there is yet another program at CORE Combat Sports that sets them apart: Rock Steady Boxing. Rock Steady Boxing is a revolutionary program that not only provides a good workout but has shown to alleviate the symptoms and impede the progress of Parkinson’s disease.

realized that he was seeing incredible improvements in his energy level, agility, dexterity and overall health. Through his own funds, as well as through generous donations he received after people heard his story, Newman opened a dedicated area in a corporate gym to house the program. Since 2006, the program has flourished, and Kristy Rose Follmar, a former world-champion professional boxer, serves as the head trainer.
Meanwhile, Abdul Jarvis, head boxing instructor at CORE Combat Sports, was developing another female world champion: Terry Blair. The circles in competitive sports are small, so it stands to reason that Blair and Follmar met on several occasions in the ring. Consequently, word of Follmar’s exciting program came back to Louisville and Haddad.
54
“My mom had Parkinson’s,” relates Haddad, giving insight into his own personal relationship with the disease. After hearing further details of the program from Sue Schonberger, group exercise director at Milestone Wellness Center, and Eunice Ray, national vice president at Arbonne, Haddad agreed to begin offering the program. “Since my mom had it, I thought it would be good to give back like that. I just thought that there was a need for it. I did it because I thought it was a nice thing to do, not because of profit. We have the facility, we have people who can instruct it. It’s good for the community. It’s good karma.” And almost immediately, they saw that having people hit the heavy bags, jump rope and run drills were having a profound benefit on the participants. “It helps with the symptoms so much,” asserts Haddad. “It releases endorphins, which are good for the body. And the people who do it? They love it. They’re getting a good workout. They’re creating a sense of community. They come and hang out with other people who face similar challenges and overcome them together.” Haddad modestly calls himself “an organizer” of the program while Abdul Jarvis runs the program in earnest and Haddad’s son, Max Haddad, assists. The legacy of Muhammad Ali is something that Haddad and his team are fully aware of, but even without the added weight of honoring The Greatest, Haddad knows that he would still proudly include the program: “Any time you can do something positive for the community, it’s it’s own reward.” VT CORE Combat Sports is located at 13124 Eastpoint Park Blvd. For more information, please call 502.489.5444 or visit corelouisville.com.

Fran Jasper, owner and operator of Frances Lee Jasper Oriental Rugs, has extended her expertise to Louisvillians from her firehouseturned-store/gallery for nearly four decades. Located in the heart of The Highlands where Bardstown Road meets Cherokee Parkway, her stunning selection and customer-centric business approach make finding the right Oriental rug a truly personal experience.
In 1980, Jasper brought her background in interior design and appreciation of art for the “fifth wall” to the storefront many would recognize today as a Highlands institution. She proudly recounts that the original firehouse opened in 1900 to accommodate the growing neighborhoods nearby, but migration to the suburbs rendered it obsolete in the ’70s. Saved from demolition, it was eventually put up for bid in a closed auction, and that’s when Jasper bet her luck.

mere floor covering, and by proxy, an investment. “I’ve always had a passion for art, and that is really what our rugs represent,” Jasper illustrates. “Oriental carpets achieve their beauty through the artist’s choice of color and design. What is so great is there is always a surprise here or a change of color where you wouldn’t expect it.” Jasper has devoted her career to beautiful textiles, bringing rugs from sources like India, Turkey and Morocco to Louisville homes. “Whether you choose contemporary rugs in trending colors or the one-of-a kind antique rugs for a more tra-

Prices fall across a wide spectrum from $250 to $90,000 for a single rug. Unlike mass-produced options, however, their value comes from far more than spill tolerance or vacuum compatibility. “Look for a rug’s design and judge that for its value,” Jasper encourages. She notes that the individual weavers behind the finished product are respected for their talents not unlike any other artist who’s mastered their craft. “Often, four or five weavers come together to form a single rug, which is why you do not see a signature on the best examples of the textile arts.”

“Four months later, after a lot of sweat and tears, I opened Frances Lee Jasper Oriental Rugs,” she says. “One year as birthday present, my brother bought the St. Joseph’s hospital spiral staircase and installed it in the center of the shop so we could access the ‘gallery’ upstairs. You can still see the staircase when you walk in the store today.” That same appreciation for the unique translates to Jasper’s interactions with customers. Since the right Oriental rug varies by its intended placement, “we learn where the rug is to be used, the room’s function and your budget,” she says. “Then a selection of rugs is pulled from our vast inventory for your consideration.” Customers can go home with this carefully curated selection of several rugs to try out and choose from. Once you have the right rug, Jasper recommends cleaning them every few years, and any sign of wear should be addressed immediately to avoid larger damage. “If you protect your investment with good care and cleaning,” she advises, “they can be passed down for generations.” Ultimately, the decision of whether an Oriental rug has a place in your home comes down to the desire for a floor covering that does more than cover the floor. These pieces intrinsically draw the eye’s attention and add character. “The more you look, the more interesting it becomes.” VT

finest yellow and purple paraphernalia, replete with a fashion-forward winter scarf dedicated to the Heretics, a subset of the LCFC fan groups.
Yes, there are multiple ways to be a fan at a Louisville City game. I haven’t seen this much dedication to dress since the last comic con I visited, which was an unexpected bonus. We started our night at the Slugger Field-adjacent Against the Grain, which one of the prominent founders of the Heretics helped start. The brewery in fact offers a smoked ale called the Beiritic, so named for their owner’s affiliation with Louisville City. The fandom is deep. Waiting there, I’m told all about the varieties of soccer conferences in America, which are comparable to Triple AAA and pro-baseball, or college and pro-basketball, etc. I’m told all about the history of the Heretics and the Coopers, the primary fan groups in attendance. Specifically, I learn about their pre-game ritual of drinking at Troll Pub on Washington Street and marching to the field where the Heretics meet up and go in together. They even have a special section roped off for them, and it quickly becomes clear why. PHOTOS BY TIM VALENTINO
The game clock never stops, so going in, I know that I only have to endure 90 minutes if this isn’t my thing; although by that point, the spectacle was undeniable. As soon as the players took the stage, the chants began and were undeniably awesome. There are variations on popular songs such as “Louisville City, You’re So Fine” set to the tune of “Mickey,” Muhammad Ali-themed cries and a chant of, “When I say cancer, you say research,” which is led by the Heretics. It’s simultaneously bizarre and awesome to behold. Fellow writer and friend Jose Neil Donis explains of his experience, “Louisville City games are cool because as a spectator, you become player No. 12. You can get so engaged that the two hours become an experience, not just something you come to watch at the stadium. Your team fills you with pride in the same way that your child would if he became part of a team playing at an international level. Your team becomes part of you – you cry, you laugh and you celebrate with your team.” He adds, “As a Latino immigrant, watching the games is also a nostalgic experience.” Spectator Michael Lewis echoes, “Soccer, in general, has a very different atmosphere than other sports – in no small part due to the party atmosphere created by supporters groups, and we have one of the best support groups in the nation. On top of that, we have a team that is one of the best in the nation, one that can hold its own against teams in the higher leagues. And unlike the NFL games I’ve been to, trash talk between fans is almost non-existent and is in good humor when it does happen. Soccer, for whatever reason, lends itself to a higher level of sportsmanship between teams and between fans. Also, it’s way more exciting than baseball.” That’s definitely true. The game never slowed down. The beer flowed. People chanted and hollered throughout the whole game but never in an overtly competitive or negative way. This was high energy but low posturing of any variety, which made the night fly by. Everyone was friendly, and by that, I mean literally every single person I met. The players even stay to meet the fans after the game and remain until they’ve spoken to everyone who wants to chat. Oh, and the game itself was pretty exciting too. It’s really no wonder LCFC is such a growing part of our cultural tapestry in Louisville. VT For a complete listing of upcoming LCFC games, visit louisvillecityfc.com. PHOTOS BY TIM VALENTINO

Despite the undisclosed low budget, Treitz made astounding use of the limited resources he had at his disposal. “We wanted to find something that was a dirtier or rougher aesthetic for a period piece and sort of shoot it like we were shooting a movie now – not being precious about anything,” says Treitz of the film’s production plan. “There was a hell of a post-production process. It went on forever. We had a special effects grant. We spent a really long time editing.”

Shot at Foxhollow Farm among other locations preserving historic structures, the production design and cinematography create a convincing atmosphere, focusing more on spontaneity than rehearsed content. David Maloney is a guy I’ve seen around Louisville for years and has a demeanor about him that seems out of time. He works splendidly with the role of a prankster farmer who doesn’t know how to farm. During a Q&A following last year’s screening, Maloney recalled coordinating with the crew on filming his character attempting to ride a mule, fully prepared to be thrown off. I asked Treitz and his co-writer/ actress, Kate Lyn Sheil about their cinematic influences, and they mentioned the works of Peter Watkins, Andrea Arnold’s “Wuthering Heights” and Monte Hellman’s “Two-Lane Blacktop.” “Days of Heaven,” someone in the crowd chimed in, referring to Terrence Malick’s beautiful Great Depression-set film about farm workers.

It has to be someone who will treat it like a job and with respect but also someone who will put the passion behind it. They feel it, and they understand the importance of the role. That’s who we hired,” says Maks. He goes on to say that the reason the show works is that you get to see different sides to the Chmerkovskiy brothers than what is shown on “Dancing with the Stars.” “The audience expects us to come out, take our shirts off a couple of times, watch some things and move on with life,” says Maks. “All of a sudden, the show breaks out, and it’s a play. There’s a throughline, a narrative, and people go away with having gotten a lot more than they expected.” The brothers aspire to instill a sense of positivity in their audience, to inspire them to strive for lives full of their own hard-won success. Since the tour began in Orlando, mere days after the Pulse night club shooting there, the brothers’ message of hope, love and tenacity couldn’t be more powerful or necessary: “We have these meet-and-greets, and so many people said, ‘Thank you for doing this. We needed this.’ I’m not saying we’re the only ones doing anything, but when people come out and say that – I’m just a dancer. I’m not a doctor or in the military. I used to wonder, ‘What is the importance of my job?’ I know now.” VT Maks & Val Live on Tour: Our Way will be at The Kentucky Center for the Performing Arts on Monday, July 25 at 7:30 p.m. To purchase tickets, call the box office at 502.584.7777 or visit kentuckycenter.org.

pets of the week Rusty the Boxer wants to say hello! Just under a year old, Rusty is a ball full of energy looking for someone to play with. He enjoys fetch, long walks, hikes – you name it. If it involves exercise, Rusty is game. Rusty loves people so much that sometimes he forgets his manners. He’d like a family where he can burn off his energy and learn how to play a little more politely. He’s a smart boy who would enjoy learning new things with his best friend. Could you be the best friend he’s looking for? Rusty is neutered, micro-chipped and up-to-date on his vaccinations. Meet him at the Kentucky Humane Society’s adoption center in the Fern Creek Feeders Supply, 6820 Bardstown Road. Mittens is a 7-year-old domestic shorthair mix who came to the Kentucky Humane Society when her family had to move and couldn’t take her with them. As you can imagine, Mittens is feeling a little lost and alone now. This makes her a bit shy around strangers, but once she gets to know a person, she becomes a social butterfly, loving pets and to snuggle. Mittens is spayed, micro-chipped and up-to-date on her vaccinations. Come meet her at our adoption center in the Springhurst Feeders Supply, 9485 Brownsboro Road.
For more on any of our adoptable pets, please call 502.366.3355 or visit kyhumane.org
