The Voice-Tribune is a proud sponsor of the Speed Ball, the Speed Art Museum’s most significant event. This weekend, the ball returns to a seated dinner in the galleries, followed by cocktails, dessert and dancing to live music by the Dirty Dozen Brass Band. The fun-filled night of fashion and philanthropy supports the museum’s exhibitions, programming and vision, including a very important mission of making art at the Speed accessible to everyone in our community. It’s always worth mentioning Brown-Forman’s generous gift to the community ensures everyone can visit the Speed for free on Sundays through March 2021, a contribution made in honor of the late Owsley Brown II. In this issue, we take a look back at last year’s gala and also sent writer Graham Pilotte to interview Woo Speed McNaughton, co-chair of the 2018 Speed Ball, for a bit of insight and a few teasers as to what attendees can expect on Saturday. Thanks to photographers Bill Wine and Clay Cook and columnist Janice Carter Levitch, The Voice-Tribune will feature coverage of the premier event in our March 8 issue. The seated dinner portion of the Speed Ball is sold out, but you can still purchase Late Night tickets by contacting Kelly Scott at 502.634.2704 or kscott@speedmuseum.org. They’ll also be available at the door. While Stephen Reily is the highly-regarded director of the Speed Art Museum, that’s not why we featured him – along with Louisville Urban League President and CEO Sadiqa Reynolds – on this week’s cover. On Feb. 17, hundreds of people lined up at Roosevelt Perry Elementary School to be a part of The Reily Reentry Project, an expungement endeavor funded personally by Reily and manned by volunteers, including dozens of lawyers. The program is giving hope to people who need help navigating what can be a complex and expensive legal process. Writer Steve Kaufman illuminates why such an outreach is one that will, ultimately, benefit us all. As always, thank you for taking the time and care to pick up The Voice. We appreciate your continued support.

What to Know Before You Go Preparing for the 2018 Speed Ball Story by Graham Pilotte Photos by Bill Wine

s winter begins to fade, let the blooming colors of spring bring art to mind. This year, the Speed Art Museum is welcoming the new season with the annual Speed Ball. With vibrant color, decadent food and tantalizing music, the Speed Ball is the perfect way for both new and old friends of the museum to celebrate springtime. “In my eyes, the Speed Ball is a huge thank-you to the community in Louisville and the surrounding areas,” explains Woo Speed McNaughton, who is co-chairing this year’s event along with Laura Benson Jones. In my eyes, the Speed Ball “They’ve been with us for so many years and is a huge thank-you to the keep coming back and supporting. So with community in Louisville and the keep the Speed Ball, we’re surrounding areas. saying ‘thank you’ to our partners, our staff and — Woo Speed McNaughton our community.” From an early age, McNaughton was passionate about getting involved at the Speed. “We used to have a table called ‘First Impressions,’” McNaughton 8

recalls. “I sat there and welcomed people, and answered any questions about what was going on that day and where things were in the museum.” Years have passed, but that spirit of welcoming has stayed the same. “Now, if I see someone come through the door and look a little mystified, I want to introduce myself,” McNaughton says. A wide range of people walk through the Speed’s doors throughout the year. “There are a huge amount of people who volunteer, work as staff, come visit or support through business or financial means,” McNaughton explains. “We want to thank them right back.” To do that, the Speed is constantly reaching out to new faces, and the annual ball is one excellent way to do so. “We’re really going out to the people who want to be involved in their museum, in their city, in their state,” McNaughton explains. “Raising money is important, but we’re raising money every day. You can’t entertain like this every day.” She’s right. Making up the first part of the night, there’s one exciting feature that’s newly returned for 2018: dinner in the 1927 galleries of the museum. “It’s really unusual to have supper in an art museum,” 0 3 . 0 1 . 2 0 1 8 V O I C E -T R I B U N E . C O M

LIFE

McNaughton confides. She’s excited to bring back the crowd-pleaser: “It’s difficult because you have to sit so many feet away from the art, but it’s a very special event simply because of that,” she says. “We haven’t had dinner at the Speed Museum for years; we’ve had a party that’s more like a gala, but people really enjoyed going back and sitting down.” Although the dinner for 550 is sold out, curious partygoers and old friends still have a chance to get involved through the second part of the evening until 1 a.m. “We still have tickets left for the dessert and dancing,” McNaughton says with a smile. “It’s called ‘Late Night at the Speed.’ It’s great fun – we welcome everyone in at 9 p.m., and another whole party ensues with dessert and dancing and drinks.” Of course, there will also be art. “People can roam the galleries in the North Building,” McNaughton explains. “There’s the new show (Women Artists in the Age of Impressionism) – there’s lots of art to see and lots to do.” Even beyond the art on the walls, there’s art in the form of fashion on every attendee. “I was always raised knowing that it’s the spring ball of Louisville,” McNaughton says. “I don’t want to spoil the surprise, but we’re doing some extraordinarily beautiful flowers this year; some pinks and beautiful spring colors. Color abounds, and it’s the first Saturday in March. It’s an opportunity for people to feel quite grand.” The grandeur will extend to the delicious desserts as well. “Susan Hershberg of Wiltshire Pantry runs the cafe in the museum,

Even beyond the art on the walls, there’s art in the form of fashion on every attendee.

A PERSONAL CONNECTION Woo Speed McNaughton and her family have a long history of being involved with the museum. “I’m a relative of James Breckinridge Speed by his first marriage, and his second wife is the one who founded the museum,” McNaughton explains. “My parents, John and Stewie Speed, were very involved – art, and the Speed Museum, were very important to them.” She inherited their love of art. “It fell into my lap,” she says with a laugh. “My mother would do a lot of volunteer work and she would take me with her.” McNaughton now sits on the Board of Trustees, and she’s tremendously thankful for current volunteers. “The community in Louisville and in surrounding areas has supported us and been with us for many years along the way,” she says. “They keep coming back, and keep supporting. It means a great deal to me.” 9

and she is doing a range of desserts,” McNaughton explains. “There might be a crepe station and a gelato station – you never know,” she teases, “and, of course, pick-up sweets for someone who might just want a bite of chocolate.” Live performers will round out the evening. “The Dirty Dozen Brass Band from New Orleans is coming out,” McNaughton reveals. “Everybody loves to dance here; it’s quite a dancing party and has been known as that for many years.” The ensemble plays jazz in the style of a New Orleans street parade. “They engage with their audience and really stay with you,” McNaughton says. “The music is tantalizing; even if you don’t want to dance, it’s great to listen. The young people will love them, and the established crowd will, too.” Of all the exciting developments to the 2018 Speed Ball, McNaughton might be proudest of bringing the Speed full circle. “I think the return to dinner is what everybody is excited about; to have a lovely dinner party and to celebrate being closed for three years and yet reestablishing a huge, 10

new, more national museum,” she says. “To me, it’s history,” McNaughton says. “We want Louisville to be very mindful of what our history is – we don’t want to change history, but we want to know it. A museum of any nature is the more viable way to educate our young people in the history of our community. That means the world to me. I think the Speed is important to our region, to our state, and to our country as well. It’s all about collaboration; that’s what the world is and we want to make it available to everyone.” When searching for the spring event of 2018, look no further than the Speed Museum – a local gem that’s open to old friends and new faces alike. With live music, glorious spring colors and a return to the unique dinner amidst beautiful art, this event will both be the talk of the city and an evening full of memories. “All museums hold our history,” McNaughton says. “That’s what we do day-to-day by welcoming people into a place that’s full of history, and giving them the facts, and the truth – that’s what the Speed is to me.” VT 0 3 . 0 1 . 2 0 1 8 V O I C E -T R I B U N E .

THE ULTIMATE PHOTO OP Creating memories at the Speed Ball is even greater when you have a photograph to exquisitely capture the moment. For this year’s guests, photographer Clay Cook will be there to make them into art. “Clay Cook is setting up a portrait studio, as he did last year,” explains The Voice-Tribune Publisher Laura Snyder. “He’ll set up a backdrop, but one where you can still tell that you’re in the museum.” The photos will be of an even higher quality than normal Voice event photos: “It’s more than a quick, grip-and-grin type photo,” Snyder explains. “He’s bringing a few assistants who can help to pose people. Everyone who has their photo taken at the Speed Ball can go see the photos online – it’s private, but there will be multiple shots, and you can choose your favorite.” Attendees can purchase a digital download or order prints of the photos. “It’s a really nice option when everyone is dressed up and looking their best,” Snyder explains, “to have someone of Clay Cook’s caliber there to take a photo.” While making memories at the 2018 Speed Ball, be sure not to miss a chance at a beautiful picture to remind you of the evening’s festivities.

Starry Starry Night The Directors of ‘Loving Vincent’

By Janice Carter Levitch

Every one of the 65,000 frames of the film is an oil-painting.

“L

oving Vincent,” the world’s first fully oil painted feature film, has now been screened to sold-out audiences more than 70 times at the Speed Art Museum. This fact alone caught the attention of the remarkable directors who have devoted over seven years of their artistic time and talent to pioneer this amazing film. The film was written and directed by the married team of Dorota Kobiela and Hugh Welchman and produced by Poland’s BreakThru Films and British production company Trademark Films. Dean Otto, curator of film at the Speed Art Museum, started clearing the way to bring “Loving Vincent” to the 138-seat Speed Cinema when he first read about it as the anticipation grew through social media. The paintings of Vincent van Gogh are brought to life, telling the extraordinary story of his experience as an artist and the mystery of how he lived and died. The film synopsis from the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences (AMPAS, also known

as simply “The Academy”) reads as follows: “In the summer of 1891, Armand Roulin is given a letter by his postman father to deliver to Theo, the brother of recently deceased artist Vincent van Gogh. Upon learning that Theo is also dead, Armand travels to the village where the troubled artist lived his final weeks in an effort to understand both his life and death.” The statistical analysis is staggering. Every one of the 65,000 frames of the film is an oil-painting created by hand by a carefully selected entourage of 125 professional oil-painters who travelled from all across the world to the “Loving Vincent” studios in Poland and Greece to be a part of the production. The sold-out screenings at the Speed Cinema inspired Kobiela and Welchman to arrange a meet-and-greet along with a question and answer session recently at the cinema. En route to the Oscars for their nomination as best animated feature film, they were enthusiastic and welcomed the opportunity to stop over and acquaint 0 3 . 0 1 . 2 0 1 8 V O I C E -T R I B U N E .

themselves with what was happening at Speed Cinema. For a little over an hour, they discussed how “Loving Vincent” came to be as art enthusiasts sat poised on the edge of their seats, listening intently to every word. Welchman captivated the audience with his British accent and certain resemblance to Vincent van Gogh along with his genuine delight to answer every question with enthusiasm. Kobiela is a Polish filmmaker, screenwriter and producer, who thrilled attendees as an artist extraordinaire. While “Loving Vincent” is no longer showing at the Speed, there are DVDs of the film for sale in the Speed store. You can also go to LovingVincent.com to learn how you can watch it in the comfort of your own home. VT

SPOTLIGHT

Trinity High School Celebrates 50 Years of CelebraTion As told by CelebraTion Chair Gretchyn Furlong to Mariah Kline

WHAT TO EXPECT

TRINITY BY THE NUMBERS: • More than 15,000 alumni • 98% of each graduating class goes on to post-secondary study • 60% of each class leaves with merit scholarship offers and a significant number of college credit hours

NOTABLE ALUMNI: • Mayor Greg Fischer, Louisville Metro Government • Greg Frederick – Fire Chief, Louisville Metro Government • Jeff Brohm – Head Football Coach at Purdue University • Paul Johnson – NASA scientist • Rev. Mark Keene – Diocese of Covington • Dave Stosberg – United States Bankruptcy Judge (Ret.)

Guest can expect a night full of family, friends, fun and surprises. This is a night of celebrating the Trinity story. The thing our treasured alumni and all of our guests look forward to the most is gathering together and sharing their Trinity stories with one another. All of the stories have a common thread: a commitment to making sure that future generations of young men can have their own Trinity stories to tell. This year is extra special as we reflect and remember 50 years of giving through this wonderful event called CelebraTion. Guests will also enjoy the many talents of our students throughout the night. The art students, Culinary Club, Jazz Band and theater group have all planned special ways to entertain our guests. The silent auction is a large part of how we are able to raise funds, and this year’s should be spectacular. We have amazing items such as an autographed state championship football, a large Green Egg and a Muhammad Ali print taken in Steinhauser Gym and signed by Pulitzer-winning photographer Dan Dry.

beautiful 50th anniversary cake decorated by Plehn’s Bakery.

HOW IT HELPS Proceeds from this event are used to support student activity programs and tuition assistance programs, allowing our students to continue the tradition of success. Trinity students are achieving in the classroom in record fashion as evidenced by performance on college entrance exams, AP tests scores and recognition by the National Merit Corporation.

WHY IT MATTERS The fundraiser was born out of necessity when Trinity experienced a budget shortfall 50 years ago. What emerged from those humble beginnings and what has evolved today is a true expression of the resourcefulness that has always been Trinity’s hallmark. The location of the event has moved several times over the years – from the gym, Alumni Hall, The Olmsted, Mellwood Art Center and now back on Trinity’s campus in the beautiful Convocation Hall. CelebraTion has developed into a special, fun evening to gather with the Trinity family and support “this place” called Trinity. The one thing that has remained constant is the amazing spirit of generosity of current and past parents, alumni and corporate sponsors through the years, even as the event, itself, has evolved.

The Joy of the Job

A Conversation with Trinity’s Athletic Director Rob Saxton

Story by Randy Whetstone Jr. Photos courtesy of Chad Waggener

thletic directors are faced with a mountain of responsibilities: facility maintenance, supervising, evaluating coaches and scheduling and arranging away contests, all while cultivating the ideal athletic department that is appealing to talented high school prospects. For Rob Saxton, athletic director at Trinity High School, he calls the role his “dream job.” “I have the opportunity and the privilege to be involved in the support and guidance of young men, playing sports that they love, surrounded by wonderful faculty, staff, coaches, parents and alumni,” he says. “All of this is part of an institution like Trinity that seeks excellence in all that we do, on or off athletic fields. It is truly an honor and a whole lot of fun.” Trinity athletics have been a powerhouse to say the least. Each season, their football, soccer, basketball, golf and baseball programs (just to name a few) exercise dominance in each respective sport. But for Saxton, he hasn’t felt any major stress regarding

the programs he governs. “While we strive for championships in all our sports, I honestly do not feel pressure for wins and losses,” he says. “I try to focus my efforts on growing our coaches and then through them, growing our young men. After that, I try to ensure that we have teams that play with the proper sportsmanship while we compete at the highest levels. I know that we have a passionate and active alumni base along with our current families, all of whom want our student-athletes to have success and to achieve it the right way: the Trinity way.” While there have been many successful coaches at Trinity, there isn’t one coach that Saxton would single out as his favorite. Instead, he says he “treasures the unique characteristics and styles of our many coaches,” knowing that each of them brings a depth of understanding and passion to their sport. Unlike most athletic directors in the Commonwealth, Saxton, at times, says he also plays the role of student. From a hierar0 3 . 0 1 . 2 0 1 8 V O I C E -T R I B U N E . C O M

chical standpoint, he is above the coaches he works with. But figuratively speaking, he sits under the wisdom and intellect of coaches who have impacted sports on the college, professional and international level. Out of all the lessons he’s learned, perhaps some of the greatest include the importance of consistency, communication, vision and community. “When you work at an all-boys high school, sports are a big deal,” he explains. “Over 60 percent of our students play one or more of our 19 sports. Trinity has a lengthy track record of great coaches since long before my time as a Shamrock. One of my most important jobs is to ensure that we have strong coaches across the board for freshman, JV and varsity. “Another thing that I try to do every single day is to align our coaches, teams, parents and student-athletes through shared communications, in house and via social media,” he continues. “I want everyone to understand the ‘big picture’ aspects of Trinity outside of their sport or team. I have learned that it is critical for me to get outside of my world at Trinity and interact and network with high schools in JCPS, across Kentucky and throughout our region. Positive and supportive relationships between schools goes a long way in high school athletics.” Fulfilling all of the job duties of a high school athletic director is a tall order, but difficulties that may be major to most are minute to Saxton. He rarely gets frustrated on the job, and instead feels constantly fueled by the joy his job brings. He says this 0 3 . 0 1 . 2 0 1 8 V O I C E -T R I B U N E . C O M

Out of all the lessons Rob Saxton has learned, perhaps some of the greatest include the importance of consistency, communication, vision and community. is particularly true when he witnesses “a player, coach or Trinity team demonstrate continuous growth and improvement in their efforts to reach individual and team goals. There is no more real joy than what is felt in a post-game winning locker room or at a season ending banquet for a team that has achieved success.” At the end of the day, Saxton says his job is to provide leadership that ensures the athletic programs operate according to the school’s mission to prep students for college as well as “form Men of Faith and Men of Character.” When this takes place, Saxton believes the success that transcends wins and losses has been achieved. His desire is for every Trinity athlete to look back at his four years and feel good about his growth as a person. To further progress this reality, Saxton says getting more adults involved in high school sports makes a greater impact overall. “High school athletics remains a very, very strong vehicle in which to drive personal growth and development in young people,” he says. “The reality is that many school systems and many states are facing shortages of coaches and officials. I am so happy when I see adults, young or old, decide to give back and agree to coach at the high school level, officiate at the high school level or just volunteer to help at high school events. If I had a magic wand (or maybe a leprechaun to help) I would encourage even more adults to get involved in high school sports. They will not regret it. They will make a difference.” VT 17

“This is the 20th year that Jo Ross has produced the show,” Klump says. “She’s a fashion expert known to a lot of people in this city, and we’re really proud of our partnership with her.” Fashions used in the show will come from various stores in the Oxmoor Center and Mall St. Matthew’s, and will feature Derby and Easter apparel as well. “We open the doors at 11 a.m.,” Klump says, “and we have all kinds of basket raffles – different themes like books, gardening, UK and UofL.” Lunch follows at noon. “We’ll have table decorations – a wine glass with pearls and a glitzy ring and the Tiffany Blue color. The lunch is going to be a hot brown and the dessert is a cheesecake in a martini glass. “After lunch, we go straight into the fashion show,” Klump continues. “There’s music from a DJ, and he emcees the show.” Most of the models will be familiar faces to the crowd. “People get really excited to see their friends and family members on the runway,” Klump says. “It moves pretty quickly, and then we draw for prizes at the end of the day.” Capital prizes this year include a Kate Spade purse filled with gift cards and a trip to the Biltmore Estate in Asheville, North Carolina. Overall, Klump encourages women to get involved, either through supporting the fashion show or The Queen’s Daughters. “It’s a wonderful place to meet other women – you can be social there, but you also work towards helping other people and doing service,” she says. “We’re always looking for new ideas and new enthusiasm, and our primary goal is to help others.” VT 0 3 . 0 1 . 2 0 1 8 V O I C E -T R I B U N E .

Everyone seems to ask the same thing: ”What’s the quick fix?” or “What’s the secret to being fit?” However, the question I’ve been asked the most lately is about fasting; specifically the term “intermittent fasting (IF).” This is not only happening here in Louisville, but all over the United States. Since I am the kind of person who is intrigued by the body and how it reacts, I set out to find out if IF works and if it’s safe. I wanted to know about the pros and cons, so I asked fitness professionals who specialize in nutrition and science, as well as individuals who tried it to lose weight in preparation of a wedding.

THE BASICS: 1. IF is a term for an eating pattern that cycles between periods of fasting and eating. It is currently very popular in the health and fitness community. 2. The three most common types are: (a) The 16/8 Method: Also called the Leangains protocol, this involves skipping breakfast and restricting your daily eating period to eight hours; for example, from 1 to 20

9 p.m. Then you “fast” for 16 hours in between. (b) Eat-Stop-Eat: This involves fasting for 24 hours once or twice a week; for example, by not eating from dinner one day until dinner the next day. (c) The 5:2 Diet: On two non-consecutive days of the week, only eat 500-600 calories. Eat normally the other five days. I reached out to my good friend Jim Karas from Jim Karas Intelligent Fitness & Wellness in Chicago. He said: “Intermittent fasting is one of the simplest ways to lose weight (don’t count calories; just don’t eat), reduce inflammation (the gateway to disease), increase immunity, reset the insulin response (gateway number two to preventing diabetes) and boost human growth hormone (the gateway to youth). It’s so simple. First, stop snacking. Second, cut down to two meals a day with no snacking in-between. Third, go 18 to 24 hours between eating or drinking anything with calories to see and feel the results. “Humans weren’t created to eat 24/7,” he continued. “Intermittent fasting gets the job done, and once again, no counting and no deprivation (FYI – you can eat pure junk food 0 3 . 0 1 . 2 0 1 8 V O I C E -T R I B U N E .

and still derive the benefits, though that’s not my recommendation). Just stop and give your body a chance to reboot, like your computer, after you’ve downloaded (eaten) too many viruses and need a clean up.” Still intrigued, I called upon Dominique Adair, MS, RD, CLS and director of Adair Fitness and Nutrition. When I asked her if IF works, she replied, “It depends on what you mean by work. For weight loss, by making you eat fewer calories, all of these methods may help you lose weight as long as you don’t compensate by eating much more during the eating periods. There are also hypotheses about manipulating hormones (i.e. insulin and HgH) and metabolic rate, but there is debate around these mechanisms.” I’ll be honest with you – I was still skeptical. How could depriving yourself of food or only eating at a certain time be healthy, let alone effective? So, I sat down with two young ladies who have been on an IF program for six weeks. One of them has lost 10 pounds and the other has lost 13. The program they are on allows them to eat from noon until 8 p.m. (They are allowed fluids during the fasting portion, but the fluids cannot exceed 40 calories). They are given a program to count their calories that also included a six-day workout regimen. When I asked why IF had been successful for them, they both informed me that they have tried every other diet out there but did not see great results. They found that with the time duration and directions regarding calories spelled out clearly, the program was essentially foolproof. They also had to log in to a Facebook page each night to log their food and workout numbers, which held them accountable. I then thought about my own diet. I realized that I wake up around 6 a.m. and have a cup of coffee. I normally take my breakfast with me on-the-go because I’m not hungry right away, and I eat probably around 10 o’clock every day. I eat lunch at 2 p.m. and my last meal is normally at 7 p.m. Essentially, I have been doing IF my entire adult life without realizing it. I’m still not sure of the outcome or the long-term effects, but the bottom line is that with any restriction of your diet, you will see results. If you exercise along with it, the results will appear quicker. VT 0 3 . 0 1 . 2 0 1 8 V O I C E -T R I B U N E . C O M

TO ASSESS WHERE YOU ARE AT DIET WISE, ASK YOURSELF THESE SIMPLE QUESTIONS: Do I… 1.

Eat simple, whole foods most of the time?

Think ahead and plan how I’ll eat well when outside of my home or my typical environment?

Exercise vigorously (i.e. you could speak in short sentences while exercising but you could not sing) 250 to 500 minutes* or more per week REGULARLY?

4. 4

Enjoy healthy meals with friends and family?

Think of foods on a continuum from disease preventing to disease promoting and choose prevention most of the time?

Overeat on a regular basis (i.e. more than once a week)?

Drink too much alcohol on a regular basis (i.e. more than once a month)?

Abandon healthy eating principles because I am out to dinner, on vacation or it’s a weekend, and say things like, “I’ll start tomorrow?”

9. 9

Manage stress and problems by eating them rather than meditating or utilizing other healthy coping methods?

10. Eat less than 75% of my diet from plant foods?

If you answered numbers one through five with “yes” and numbers six through ten with “no,” that’s terrific. Your diet is in good shape and you should keep up the good work. If you answered any of numbers one through five with “no” or numbers six through ten with “yes,” simply go back to that question and work on that behavior. Is it that simple? Yes. Does simple mean easy? No. But I believe in you! *Before you start any diet or exercise program always consult with your doctor. 21

HOMES

At Home With… Olivia Griffin Mid-Century Modern Life Story and photos by JD Dotson

livia Griffin’s three-story home in the Ken Carla neighborhood of Prospect sits directly over Harrod’s Creek and boasts three floors of balconies and decks overlooking the water. The home was built in 1979, but the interior and décor reflect Olivia’s love of kitsch and mid-century modern – from the Scandinavian wood burning stoves to the furniture and artwork. The home is designed to be passively solar heated, with windows facing the sun in the winter for heat, and has not only hardwood floors but hardwood ceilings, too. The house is filled with colorful and eclectic knick knacks and furniture from the ’50s through the ’70s, reflecting Olivia’s personal style, including a closetful of vintage clothing. The vintage vibe carries over to Olivia’s businesses, The Mysterious Rack Hat Shop and Louisville’s only tiki bar,

The Limbo. Much of the décor and style of the home are reflected in her retail and bar worlds. A mobile from the 1950s was left by the previous owners who couldn’t bear to remove it because it was perfect for the space. The vintage decanters, shelf décor and glass fruit were purchased at antique stores in Louisville; the carved wooden fish was a gift from a friend who deemed the ledge overlooking the water was its proper home. One of Olivia’s favorite items in her home, her Dutch oven, is about the only thing not vintage. She loves to cook and entertain, mixing cocktails for friends and making bread in the specialty pot. Olivia’s home is the perfect backdrop for classic cocktail and dinner parties and summers overlooking the water. VT

Savory Additions Butchertown Grocery launches new menu items

hen heading to Butchertown Grocery, prepare yourself for a layered culinary experience that surpasses expectations. The restaurant’s hospitality is fueled by education and passion with a strong team of servers and bartenders who know how to guide guests through their entire meal. Couple the service with Butchertown Grocery’s modern and sleek design that is both comfortable and inviting, and guests can expect a sensational outing that remains firmly rooted in humble culinary traditions. However, it isn’t just the front of the house that makes Butchertown Grocery a sought out dining destination. Chef and owner Bobby Benjamin works with meticulous attention to detail when building his menu. He sources the finest ingredients, studies culinary techniques and invents his own to create the restaurant’s innovative dishes. When you sit down to discuss his art, it’s not uncommon to hear Benjamin use words such as “layered” and “balanced” to describe his food. He believes that from the sound of slicing fresh bread to whisking an egg, if your food isn’t sharing its story with you, then it’s no good. Benjamin doesn’t just sear his Brussels sprouts; he listens to

them. Respecting ingredients, treating them properly and exercising proper technique is non-negotiable in his kitchen. In addition to the ingredients, Benjamin emphasizes the importance of the cultural provenance of his menu. His high-quality produce and ingredients immerse diners in the authentic flavors and textures of his favorite regions and cuisines. The detailed effort that goes into each dish has received glowing responses from those who are most passionate about their food. New Orleans natives have expressed that the beignets rival, or even surpass, the famed sugar-coated pastries found in the French Quarter, and his smooth, house-made gnocchi has earned a permanent spot on all three of Butchertown Grocery’s menus by drawing hungry guests in from across the country. While crafting his new brunch and lunch menus, Benjamin placed the same care he has since the restaurant’s opening into selecting the new offerings. Both menus are balanced, featuring a range of both lighter and heartier options, appeasing any appetite or palate at a price point that wallets can easily digest.

CRAZY BONES

BRUNCH For the weekend brunch crowd, guests can begin with an indulgent starter such as the house-made gnocchi or start lighter with the popular pecan & pears salad. Don’t forget to save room though. With the alluring scent of freshly prepared pastries, including cinnamon rolls and blueberry scones, wafting throughout the restaurant, it’s hard to pass-up the options from the bakery. So, go-ahead and make your brunch a three-course meal. • Chicken & Waffles – A Butchertown Grocery favorite that’s exclusive to the brunch menu. This sweet and savory dish’s wide range of flavors includes chiles, fried rosemary and leeks, mint and syrup. • Bourbon Barrel Smoked Grits – This southern comfort meal provides a Butchertown Grocery twist with the inclusion of Bourbon Barrel products. The smoked grits are topped with poached eggs, foraged mushrooms and crispy root vegetables. • Bananas Foster French Toast – If you’re craving something sweet, this tasty update to traditional French toast is topped with rum and cinnamon-vanilla bean for a dish that’s worth the splurge. 0 3 . 0 1 . 2 0 1 8 V O I C E -T R I B U N E . C O M

LUNCH During the week, Benjamin’s updated lunchtime menu brings different flavors to table for the perfect mid-day outing or business lunch. While beloved classics such as the gnocchi and tuna tartare remain on the menu, exciting additions provide options for any lunchtime goer. • Frisée Salad – This fresh salad appeals to anyone craving a light but flavorful meal. The salad is topped with a poached egg, sunflower sprouts, bacon, sunflower seeds and citrus vinaigrette. • Butchertown Eggs Benedict – If you prefer to go the breakfast route at lunch, you’ll be pleased with this egg-cellent dish with pork belly, an English muffin and truffle béarnaise. • Fried Chicken Sandwich – This heartier lunch choice is back by popular demand. The crispy chicken sandwich is served with bibb lettuce, bacon, pesto aioli, arbol spiced pickles and fries. VT

It’s not uncommon to see bone marrow on the dining portion of a restaurant menu, but at Butchertown Grocery’s intimate upstairs lounge, Lola, bone marrow is the offbeat star of the cocktail program. Benjamin and beverage director Nic Christiansen teamed up to craft a drink menu that pushed their creativity. “We serve bone marrow as a stand-out garnish in our Bloody Butcher, and we encourage our guests and our friends to do bone marrow luge shots,” Christiansen said. “The bone marrow luge shot is something that brings people together, and gives them a different experience. That is why I wanted to do a bone marrow-washed cocktail, and I chose sherry because the savory and smoky flavors of the bone marrow mix well with the sweetness of the sherry.” You can find bone marrow in the following cocktails: • Bloody Butcher – A Butchertown brunch favorite featuring scratch-made Bloody Mary mix, Tito’s vodka, hot peppers, lime juice and a distinctive bone marrow garnish. • Lady Midnight – Featuring Old Forester house barrel, bone marrow-washed Pedro Ximenez Sherry, Becherovka and mole bitters. • Becherovka bone marrow luge shot Taken as an apertif or a digestif shot in the Czech Republic, Becherovka is an herbal liqueur with strong cinnamon notes. In the Czech Republic, people take it together and enjoy each other’s company. At Lola, people are encouraged to do just that. 25

MOVING DAY

Tears and hugs accompanied The Reily Reentry Project, a Feb. 17 clinic helping people erase past criminal offenses from their records. But make no mistake: This wasn’t a favor to them. This is an avenue of pursuit the law entitles to everyone. Story by Steve Kaufman

lose to 1,500 people lined up outside Roosevelt Perry Elementary School on Broadway between 16th and 17th streets on a cold Saturday morning in mid-February. The line was already long by 7:45 a.m. even though the doors wouldn’t open until 9. This was an expungement clinic sponsored by the Louisville Urban League for people who had lived under a cloud for years – never registering to vote, not bothering to apply for jobs, not even going along on their children’s field trips from school – because they had an old criminal record in their pasts. If they were familiar with the notion of “expungement” – a legal term with

specific definitions and parameters – they’d long ago given up on the opportunity as it might apply to them. Expungement is the process of clearing your record of past criminal offenses. With those on your record, you can’t apply to vote. Applying for jobs is generally a futile endeavor, too. Perhaps worst of all, you live under a cloud of shame, which isn’t necessary. Kentucky law makes expungement an available option. It very clearly spells out the options depending on what your record is (felony or misdemeanor) and how old the occurrence is. There’s a process of applying to have your records run and then your day in court. If that’s so, why aren’t more people accessing what the law provides them? Why were there 1,500 people outside of Perry Elementary? 0 3 . 0 1 . 2 0 1 8 V O I C E -T R I B U N E . C O M

“Because there are costs to pursuing it,” said Sadiqa Reynolds, Louisville Urban League’s president and CEO. “You have to pay to have your records run. You have to hire an attorney. And then there’s a fee for each item on your record – as much as $500 per felony.” Plus, there’s a general intimidation factor for many people in these circumstances about entering the legal process and the court system. History has shown them that it is not necessarily a forgiving endeavor with a happy outcome. Reynolds was talking largely about her constituency at the Urban League, Louisville’s inner-city black population. But she was also talking about people of all races toeing the poverty line, people who through need or desperation or lack of guidance, had done things in their past – a DUI, a shoplift, a bad check, a marijuana possession – and were paying for it for a lifetime because they didn’t know they didn’t have to. Stephen Reily saw the disparity, too. The director of the Speed Art Museum had previously run for Metro District Council. “He’d met people who told him, ‘I’d love to support you, but I can’t vote,’” Reynolds related. “He said, ‘Why are we throwing people away who have paid their dues, served their time?’ He said he wanted to do something.” And he did. Reily joined the Urban League board. And, after the Louisville Metro Council gave the Urban League a $10,000 grant last year – “seed money to start a pilot program and see if we could accomplish something,” Reynolds said – Reily gave the league a $300,000 grant this year (to be divided over the next three years) to help Louisville’s unwittingly disenfranchised victims. “The work I’ve done through the Greater Louisville Project (an independent, non-partisan, civic initiative organized by The Community Foundation of Louisville) has made me so aware of these neighborhoods facing insurmountable challenges because of the 0 3 . 0 1 . 2 0 1 8 V O I C E -T R I B U N E .

Expungement should not be seen as an attempt to circumvent the law. It is the law. — Sadiqa Reynolds

history of segregation, redlining (a discriminatory act of refusing a loan to someone because of where they live), etcetera, and you have people in these neighborhoods who want to be a part of their success in turning them around and we’re not letting them?” said Reily, still incredulous about the notion. “It’s not going to happen. So, I reached out to Sadiqa… and I said, ‘Look, what if we tried to go big on this and really do something that made a difference?’” Reily asked Reynolds to come back to him with a plan. “It’s funny, for whatever reason – I guess we were both really busy – we would always have these conversations on a Saturday, I remember, and she came back and we kept talking about the money and the plan, and finally she said, ‘Here it is,’ and I said, ‘I’m all in.’” Aside from what Reily had previously seen firsthand and a desire to find “common ground politically,” he said he was motivated by “having a father who taught me to stand up for what I thought was right and I had a mother who taught me to always stand up for the underdog and gave me a heart for justice. “To be clear, we are talking about something so different than the crime problem in the West End,” he said. “These are not people who were ever convicted of a violent crime. They made mistakes. They paid their price. Expungement means you have the opportunity to be a full citizen again. Your level of citizenship shouldn’t depend on your level of income.”

The event in February was the first gathering of The Reily Reentry Project. Attorneys were on hand to check each person’s records and provide legal guidance. Wyatt Tarrant & Combs took the lead, providing its own attorneys, administrative staffers and paralegals. They also held a two-day training session in their offices. Their own attorneys attended, plus members of Legal Aid and the Black Attorneys Association (now called The Charles W. Anderson Jr. Bar Association), and other local attorneys who wanted to be a part of the project. The clinic itself was held on a Saturday, so people wouldn’t have to take off work. “I don’t think anyone thought the turnout would be what it was,” said Reynolds. “A lot of lawyers who do mostly corporate law didn’t know how great the need was. These are not usually their clients.” Still, they worked until past 6 o’clock to get as many records checked as they could. It was not enough – not this time, anyway. While Reynolds estimated that 350 criminal record checks were run (and perhaps 300 of those qualified for expungement), more than 1,000 persons were turned away. There simply wasn’t enough time. “We need to have another clinic,” said Reynolds, “but first we want to process all the records we ran.” In a way, though, Reynolds sees a bright spot in a turnout that overwhelmed the ability to serve everyone who showed up. “I wanted to show that if you provide help, people will come,” she said. “It’s just not true that people won’t put out the effort to help themselves. The reporters there were moved by it. The lawyers there, who do mostly corporate law, were moved by it. The volunteers were moved.” Reily was moved. “Many of us were crying frequently throughout the day,” he recalled. “What was beautiful about that day, and then 27

again what was so different from the picture of violent crime in the West End, is these are people who got their lives together. These are people who could get to Roosevelt Perry Elementary on a Saturday. They just can’t get ahead.” Reynolds, who was moved to tears numerous times that day, has a ready smile and a sense of humor that’s almost always about to break into a laugh. But when she’s talking about her constituency, there emerges a fierce inner-core of steel. Her gentle voice hardens, and her soft eyes can flare with anger. She insists the problems with the urban underprivileged are manifold: an inconsistency with law enforcement, distrust of the court systems, lack of resources and lack of access. These cause many people to live under the cloud of prior misdeeds that others in the community are able to make disappear. “For many people, if their daughter gets a DUI, they’re going to hire an attorney for her and she’s not going to have to take off work to show up in court,” said Reynolds. “For poor people, if they get a DUI, they can’t afford an attorney. They’re in court all day; it impacts their jobs and family lives. There’s simply a different way of walking through the process if you live in poverty.” She says the issue isn’t necessarily a racial one, “but there is a disparity in the way the law is applied. It’s the difference between getting pulled over in Prospect and getting pulled over in the West End. “Let me be clear,” she continued, “there were a lot of folks on Saturday who weren’t black. Poor people of all color need this. But I don’t want anybody to think that black people aren’t more negatively impacted by the criminal justice system.” And all of this leads to assumptions about the way certain people live their lives. “There’s this terrible stench about poverty,” Reynolds said. “People think, ‘They don’t want to work; they’re happy on welfare.’ I’m so over it.” There’s also a lack of information among the poor. Even if a case is dismissed and even if the accused was found to be completely innocent, there’s no automatic expungement. “You still have to be proactive to get your record expunged,” she said. “It doesn’t just happen.” Reynolds related a Legal Aid story of a man who walked around for 20 years telling people he was a felon, checking the box on job applications. They ran his record and found he was charged with a felony that was amended down to a misdemeanor. “But because he was charged and didn’t understand the law, he was probably denied jobs and lost opportunities,” she explained. “Plus, he never voted.”

Perception can be poison. “One article said, ‘Reily and Urban League to help criminals.’ I sent a note: So is your 20-yearold daughter who got a DUI ‘a criminal’? Or is she a 20-year-old who made a bad choice?” There’s also a stench, she said, about criminal records: Why should they get their records expunged? They did it. Is there a forgiveness that they don’t deserve? “This should not be seen as an attempt to circumvent the law,” Reynolds insisted. “It is the law.” Reily said, “In Louisville, we’re rightfully proud to be such a welcoming city. I think that is, in some ways, our real identity. But we have a long way to go, especially in showing how welcoming we can be to our brothers and sisters who already live here. “We’re really welcoming to tourists and visitors and people we’re trying to attract for economic development,” he continued, “but the real test is how welcoming we are to our neighbors who are already here. And I believe that spirit can work in the same way, and for most people it’s not always easy to see how; you have to show them.” Reynolds feels the lines at Perry Elementary that day will have a lasting impact on this community. “Nobody stands in line for hours on a cold Saturday morning in the winter if they have the money to avoid it,” she said. “This was the best evidence that we’re in a compassionate city. Everybody is connected to somebody who has been involved in the system.” And what does that mean to the community at large? Why should people care? “It means a healthier, more functional community,” said Reynolds said. “People need and deserve to have a second chance so they can fully engage. You don’t want a community full of people who don’t feel connected, don’t feel hope, don’t feel valued. That is a dangerous community.” In addition, she said, there’s the positive economic impact of people getting better jobs and being promoted. It means people on the tax rolls instead of the subsistence rolls. It means a safer community, too. She calls it “violence protection.” Employers understand the need to have a ready workforce. Reynolds said, “This gets them in their pocketbooks.” But it doesn’t have to be driven by personal needs. She feels it should be driven by the idea that “there, but for the grace of God . . . “People have to figure out how to have mercy and cheer for justice,” she said, “not just for their own child, their spouse or themselves. We have an obligation to take care of each other. Otherwise, we’re not a truly functional community.” VT

W Exploring Partyline

Australia

By Carla Sue Broecker

e left a very hot Cairns, (pronounced “Cans”) Australia on the Regent Seven Seas Voyager to sail toward Townsville, Australia. From what we understood, Townsville is an interesting enough city, but we chose to take an excursion by coach to Charters Towers about two hours inland. Charters Towers is a gold rush town founded in the mid-1800s. At the height of the gold rush, it had 87 hotels and was the second largest city in the province. After the gold glitter subsided and the mines closed, it still has a quaint charm. The city center’s civic buildings, eight remaining hotels and quaint cottages can all be seen on a walking exploration. When we arrived, we got off our coach at the Stock Exchange building to be greeted by the Charters Towers mayor. This was the first time this has happened to us. We shook hands with her, and she presented us with a souvenir city lapel pin. The Stock Exchange building has been repurposed with small retail shops for tourists. In its domed roof center were tables set up for the Stock Exchange Café to serve us a mid-morning tea that included sandwiches and local pastries, all of which was quite nice. We walked up and down the nearby streets exploring and enjoying the small-town charm. Then, we were off to the Venus Gold Battery, which was opened in 1872. The Battery was the site where miners brought their iron ore to be battered and have the gold extracted. Closed for more than 40 years, it has been converted into a tourist site with guided tours and explanations of what had once been quite a prosperous operation. A real local character with a great beard and an expansive girth did the tour. It was obvious he loved his job, and he explained every last little detail of the operation for over an hour. Next, we were off to a local restaurant that serves fish and chips, rump steak and chicken curry. Trust me, this Regent crowd is never very far from its next meal or drink. Dessert was lemon meringue or apple pie fresh from the oven. The ride back to Townsville got

us there only 20 minutes before the ship sailed away. There was another relaxing sea day in store with arrival the day after in Brisbane. We had dinner with some new friends from Charleston, South Carolina, in the ship’s main dining room, The Compass Rose. Husband Brad calls it “The Lunch Room.” The service there is spectacular and the menu is always good with too many choices at times. You have to be careful to not let your server know you are trying to make a choice between several things: He or she will just bring you both! The evening’s entertainment was presented by our friend Ray Solaire, the cruise director. He is English and started off life as a music hall entertainer. Sailing for 50 years, he has a good voice and is a master puppeteer and ventriloquist. We have dinner with him about once a week, and each time he regales us with new stories about his life on the sea. The next day, we docked at Brisbane, where it was bright, sunny and hot. Brisbane is a city that just doesn’t come to mind easily when Australia is mentioned, which is a shame because it is beautiful and has a lot to offer. It has approximately 2 million people and is the third largest city in Australia, which equals 7 percent of Australia’s entire population of 28 million. After a leisurely breakfast, we went on a shore excursion that started out with a coach tour of the Brisbane’s highlights. We had an interesting tour guide. She was from Austria, had lived in Chicago for 25 years and then moved with her husband to Brisbane. Her English was quite good but still bore traces of her Austrian heritage. She clearly loves her adopted Australian home very much. One curiosity of Brisbane’s central business district layout is that the streets running toward the Brisbane River are named for female British royalty and the streets running parallel to the river are named for male royalty. Now all you have to do is remember where the river is and you are well-oriented. We next proceeded to the Lone Pine Koala Sanctuary on the outskirts of the city. This was to be a self-guided tour of the wellplanned facility that included not only koalas but emus, kangaroos, platypuses, crocodiles and water dragons along with various tropical birds, including different species of cockatoos.

Visitors could stand in line and pay $20 to hold a koala and have their pictures taken. We declined and headed for the koala exhibit to simply see these wonderfully charming animals in their somewhat natural exhibit. There we learned that the Sanctuary has a eucalyptus forest where 5,000 pounds of eucalyptus branches are harvested each week just to feed the koalas. The branches are placed in tall cans that hold water like a vase and then hang in the branches of the trees in the exhibit. Another area of the Sanctuary had some friendly emus. Being nearly five feet tall, you could walk right up to them and give them a pat on their feathery backs. Their feet are enormous and look those of an ostrich. When we stopped for a beverage at a rest station, we had wild turkeys all around us and several water dragons. The turkeys were great at begging for French fries from a boy sitting nearby having lunch. The water dragons, which you had to be careful not to step on, enjoyed bits of his chicken nuggets. That evening, we had dinner with some new friends. The evening’s entertainment, “Broadway in Concert,” was put on by the ship’s production company. We saw this show earlier in the cruise and it is one of their best. The next day, we sailed across part of the Tasman Sea, arriving in Sydney the next morning. This was the end of a segment of the cruise, and a whole lot of people that we had grown fond of disembarked while lots of new potential “friends” got on. To keep those of us that were continuing on the cruise busy, the ship offered us a tour around the Sydney business district and an extended guided tour of the iconic Sydney Opera House. We had been to an opera performance there several years ago but had never heard its conception and construction explained in such detail. The tour started with a brief video and explanation about the site of construction. We learned it was an Aboriginal people’s gathering spot. The guide went to great lengths to express respect and admiration for the Aborigines and the sacrifice they felt when the site was chosen to be a new gathering spot for the arts. Most know that the design by Danish architect Jorn Utzon was chosen from hundreds in a worldwide competition. We were told that it was a design the original selection committee initially rejected. There was much strife and political consternation throughout the whole process, but finally led to the building’s completion and opening by Queen Elizabeth II on October 20, 1973. The project was more than 1,300 percent over budget. Utzon resigned from the project in 1966 and never returned to Australia, but others completed the project using his plans. The relationship with Utzon was somewhat patched up over the years, and his son served on the facility’s management board until his death. Sadly, the designer of one of the world’s most recognized buildings never saw it completed. The building has an interesting and unique plan for continuing the care, maintenance and expansion of the facility. Every two years, a major section of the building undergoes planned renovation; they don’t wait until it desperately needs work. A well-oiled plan to finance the anticipated renovations is also in place. The tour could easily have lasted several more hours, but time wouldn’t permit. Back on the ship, we had a sail away cocktail and headed for Melbourne. VT

Ben Sollee & Martha Redbone Musical Rootisms of Kentucky By Janice Carter Levitch

ootism is the belief that we are influenced by our surroundings and convictions. It is different for everyone depending on not only how you were raised but where. Rootism is hidden sometimes, like a gem in the rough. That gem in the rough was met with an alchemistic approach recently when Ben Sollee and Martha Redbone met for the first time in the studio at Louisville Public Media. The pair of artists had to become acquainted with one another before they collaborate for a March 10 performance at The Kentucky Center as part of the 2018 Speed Concert Series. Both artists are from Kentucky and are inspired to capture the essence of sounds. What they hear then inspires them to create music or adds to the nuances of the music as a result.

The two shared a heartfelt discussion in the studio that allowed a look inside the experience they both have when producing songs. Redbone is deeply rooted in her Appalachian folk and Piedmont blues-style of funk, flowing with the award winning Native American elements that reach the listeners like nothing else can. This soul singer is of Cherokee, Choctaw, African-American and European descent, which only added to the theme of her breakout album, “The Garden of Love.” It’s no wonder it was produced by John McEuen, Grammy winner and founder of Nitty Gritty Dirt Band. When commenting on the creative process she experiences and getting to know Sollee, Redbone said, “It’s been a lot of fun because there are so many aspects of it all that have touched each of our lives. We are meeting for the first time today, and I’ve been a huge admirer of his music for some time now. “It’s been really nice to get in the studio to 0 3 . 0 1 . 2 0 1 8 V O I C E -T R I B U N E .

hear his voice up close and hear his playing up close,” she added. “To connect with that has been really special.” Sollee certainly knows his way around the studio. As a classically-trained cellist, composer and singer-songwriter, he incorporates numerous instruments as well as unusual cello techniques into his work. “Today, we gathered to really kind of learn a little bit about the art each of us is making and the stories we are trying to tell with that artwork,” he commented. “Then we’ll try to blend that together for this show. Both of us share a rooted love of Kentucky and also an understanding of the isms of being from Kentucky. Comparatively, I’m more from a city-centric perspective and Martha from more of the hills, hollers and mountains. Finding that common ground has been a big part of that creative process today.” “For me it’s always been about telling our family stories and sharing it through the generations,” Redbone said. “It’s part of our Cherokee culture, and it’s just something we’ve always done. I think with today’s times with so much going on and such an overload of information out there, it’s really important for us to hold onto what makes us who we are. The only way we can do that and learn about each other and the world is to share our family stories and our connections to the land and the areas that we are from. Intrinsically, that’s what we’re made of. It has a lot to do with where we spent our summers, where our parents and grandparents came from and just the sound of the mountains and rivers. “The real challenge as a creative person is to be able to capture those essences in a song, whether using words or not,” she continued. “When you get in a room with someone like Ben and we are all striving for that interesting way to 0 3 . 0 1 . 2 0 1 8 V O I C E -T R I B U N E .

But stories are very tied to place because people often tell or add onto their story from childhood onward. So when you hear someone tell a story, especially their own story, you really get a sense of place.” The influence of Sollee’s family and the music they played has a lot to do with his identity as a musician. He and Redbone will bring unique fusional qualities to what they’re creating for their upcoming concert. It isn’t often we get to the hear this genre of music, so the ism of the day is go experience the rootism that Sollee and Redbone have to offer. Maybe it will inspire you to tell your own story.
