Twisting the Perspective on Cancer

By LAURA ROSS Contributing Writer

o one dies of breast cancer. A startling thought, right? The truth is, no one dies of breast cancer in the breast – until it metastasizes to other parts of the

body. Caroline Johnson, founder of Twisted Pink, is a busy mom with three young children, including a son with multiple special needs. She was one month shy of her 40th birthday when she was diagnosed with stage III breast cancer in June 2013. A year of chemotherapy, radiation, surgeries and continued hormone therapy for estrogen positive breast cancer, was accompanied by participating in many community awareness and education events. When she learned that most popular breast cancer funding movements were donating only 25% to research and 75% to awareness programs, she decided to form Twisted Pink in June 2014 to fund research for metastatic breast cancer. Her resolve heightened when she learned that only about 2% of funds raised nationally actually goes directly to metastatic cancer research. Twisted Pink is committed to exclusively funding stage IV breast cancer research. Its mission is to raise awareness of the hidden statistics regarding metastatic cancer and gain funding to support metastatic research. According to the National Institute of Health, metastatic breast cancer is the leading cause of death in women 35-55 years old with 155,000 women living with metastatic breast cancer, with an average survival rate of 18-24 months. 40,000 of those women will die; a number that has not changed in over 20 years. Metastasis occurs when cancerous cells travel to another part of the body, typically the bones, liver, lungs and brain. No one dies from breast cancer that remains in the breast, but 20-30% of people originally diagnosed with early stage breast cancer will develop metastatic breast cancer, regardless of original stage, age, treatment plan or overall health. And, it is deadly. Currently there are no effective treatments, and a diagnosis of stage IV breast cancer is considered incurable.

“In Twisted Pink, I wanted to twist the model of that has metastasized to her bones. “When first diagawareness and the message to make it more accurate,” nosed in 2007, I found little comfort in ‘we love tatas’ Johnson said. “It’s not just beat cancer; be a survivor. or ‘save second base’ campaigns,” she said. “I didn’t We are all brave and strong.

A Note From The Publisher In continuing with our recognition of October as Breast Cancer Awareness month, it is important to remember that Breast Cancer isn’t limited to just one month out of the year – women are diagnosed every day. With 75% of breast cancer funding geared towards awareness programs, a mere 2% is donated towards actual metastatic cancer research – Twisted Pink is here to shake things up. This week’s cover story features Twisted Pink founder, Caroline Johnson, as she shares with us her own battle with the disease that claims the lives of 40,000 women a year and how women aren’t just beating cancer but surviving it (A1). Indulge in the spook of this time of year and flip to page A6 where Steve Kaufman partakes in a haunting trip through old Louisville for this week's Home of the Week. The old haunts of locals long forgotten are uncovered as we take a peek into the Victorian Ghost Walk tour lead by local author and guru of the underworld, David Domine. Lori Kommor pays a visit a little down the road from these spirited attractions as she sits down with the Conrad-Caldwell House Museum to uncover details for this year's Masquerade Spirit Ball (A5). In Sports, Cardinal insider Mike Rutherford dissects UofL's heartbreaking loss to Clemson this past weekend, but looks ahead with optimism at the remainder of the season (B3). Kent Taylor sits down with Big Blue Madness coach John Calipari to talk about preparations for one of the most anticipated seasons in Kentucky basketball (B1), and of course we get the weekly dose of Verbal Scrimmage from our very own Matt Jones and Tony Vanetti (B6). Turn to B4 as Northwestern Mutual introduces their pick for Athlete of the Month, Jake and Zach Mattingly from Trinity High School and what makes these local athletes stand out. The Louisville Ballet's "Raise the Barre" officially kicks off this week's society section as hundreds mingled to music by DJ Anthony, delicious food provided by Atria and a special tribute to the men and women who keep Louisville above barre (C1, 6, 7). The Local Speed kept everyone in the dark for their disco-themed,"Big Hush" event held at Copper and Kings Distillery (C9), while J. Michael's Salon and Spa celebrated the women of the month with their "Cocktails for Cleavage" event in honor of Breast Cancer Awareness (C14). St. Francis School held its annual fall fundraiser at their Goshen Campus complete with live and silent auctions and a farm-to-table dinner all in aid of St. Francis athletics and extracurricular programming for students (C22).

From Page A-1 Graham Brown Cancer Center at the University of Louisville. Johnson hopes Twisted Pink resources will help fund research there. Jason Chesney, MD, PhD, is deputy director of the James Graham Brown Cancer Center and a professor in the University of Louisville School of Medicine. He and his colleagues are currently testing a first-in-class, first-in-human drug called PFK-158 that is being examined in Phase I clinical trials that include breast cancer patients. “We discovered about six years ago that an enzyme called PFKFB3 regulates the sugar metabolism of cancer cells and, in collaboration with a computational modelist, Dr. John Trent, designed a drug, 3PO, that would turn off this enzyme, suppress sugar metabolism and kill cancer cells,” Chesney said. The University of Louisville then partnered with a local biotechnology company called Advanced Cancer Therapeutics and developed a more potent version of this drug, PFK-158, which is currently being tested in human trials in Louisville and Georgetown University. “This is really exciting because this is not only the first time this enzyme has been targeted in clinical trials, but also the first time the actual drug has been administered to cancer patients,” Chesney said. “It was amazing to hear what they are doing,” Johnson added. It is also frustrating, when despite so many encouraging trials and plans in motion, the behemoth of funding and grant availability continues to stretch research budgets thin. In the recent economic downturn, budgets have been slashed, grants are harder to come by, and life saving research may never get off the ground. “It’s so simple, get more money into research. Any donation by Twisted Pink will make a difference. It could fund a lab tech, for example, and therefore, they could run that many more tests. It’s all about enhancing what they are doing in the lab.” Beth Riley MD, FACP, is an oncologist, co-investigator on the Phase I trial of PFK-158 and is a principal investigator of the combination trials in breast cancer patients at James Graham Brown Cancer Center. “We are in a time of incredible knowledge growth, but we need the funding to develop smart solutions,” Riley said. “Louisville is a gem of research and philanthropy is key to our success as researchers.” Chesney feels the sense of urgency. “Unfortunately, the median overall survival for metastatic breast cancer patients is only 18-24 months, even with the most sophisticated medical care the U.S. has to offer,” he said. “We desperately need new and more effective drugs for these patients.” “These clinical trials can mean the difference between life and death,” Chesney said. “For example, our center was a major trial center for agents that activate your immune system against cancer. We have a multitude of patients who are alive today, only because of their participation in our trials. Their participation has led to at least two of these agents receiving FDA approval.” According to Chesney, the James Graham Brown Cancer Center is the only center in Kentucky to offer a new immunotherapy called anti-PD1 for multiple cancer types. “This new class of immune activating agents is a game-changer for cancer patients,” he said. “Personally, I’m ‘twisted pink’ happy for them,” Riley said, of Johnson’s efforts. “As a researcher and clinician, to have such motivated community interest and support in our work is a wonderful feeling. Twisted Pink will make a difference for us.” “Too many people feel we’ve won, and we haven’t yet,” Johnson said. “There’s so much more work to do. This is not just an October ‘theme.’ Women are diagnosed every day, all year long. And, they are dying. Research can help save lives. Twisted Pink wants to be a part of the success that good research brings.”

aura Chamberlin has been cancer-free for 1,006 days and she’s not wasting one of them. Chamberlin was diagnosed in 2011 with breast cancer, poorly differentiated ductal carcinoma grade III to be specific. Since her diagnosis, she has been through treatment, surgery, recovery, late night shifts at work and the emotional and physical process of being a cancer survivor. And she did it all her way. Now she wants to share her journey with the world in her new book “Underneath the Pink Ribbon.” Through the chemotherapy treatments, double mastectomy and all of the doctors visits in between, Chamberlin remained determined to take control of her treatment and make it her own. Part of this was due to the cooperation of her doctors; Drs. Hatmaker, Hargis, Quintero and their teams. This included having a Bible under her pillow and her CD of choice (Simon and Garfunkel’s greatest hits) playing during the double mastectomy. “One of the reasons I want to write this book, is to show the reality of it,” Chamberlin said. “And also, to empower other women. Even though there are these really aggressive ways of treating breast cancer, there are things you can do to empower yourself. And to make your healing unique and effective for you.” Part of her mindset about her treatment could be attributed to her profession. Chamberlin is an art therapist, with her official Art Therapy Registration (ART). She works at Our Lady of Peace with teens and young adults who have experienced severe trauma in their own lives. She has her masters in psychology, mental health counseling and art therapy. During her cancer treatment, Chamberlin worked third shift counseling youth sometimes from 11 p.m. at night to 9 a.m., which is a daunting work schedule to anyone, much more to someone who is in the middle of chemotherapy. But Chamberlin enjoys her work, even more so now that she is able to have a full-time position. Outside of work she has a mission to share her story. She has recently compiled her personal journals during her treatment and put them into a book she hopes to get published. The book is called Underneath the Pink Ribbon, and provides an intimate, no frills look at her entire experience. She felt it was important to not sugar-coat the experience. One entry chronicled her struggle working those late hours during her treatment. “September 12, 2011: I’m a little mad at myself. I left my third shift early because I was so exhausted I

couldn’t stay awake. I left at 5:30 a.m. and I was supposed to be there until 9 a.m. My body was just so exhausted. I could go back to second shift. I don’t know what to do. Third shift is just so rough on my body. I don’t know if I can pull it together. I’ve got to keep trying though. During my shift I walked up and down the halls to try to stay awake, but I was still exhausted.” Other entries are more somber and paint a vivid picture of her experience, no holds barred. “October 7, 2011: Mostly, I’m just trying to survive it. Cancer makes you feel like a raw egg that’s been cracked open and is spilling everywhere, and everyone sees and knows.” Many other entries include funny stories, and others contain drawings she did as part of her own art therapy. When things would be especially bad, she would write Bible verses in her journal to help reassure her. Verses like Matthew 10:16, James 1:22 and one of her favorites, Psalm 57:1 “Be merciful unto me, O God, be merciful unto me: for my soul trusteth in thee: yea, in the shadow of thy wings will I make my refuge, until these calamities be overpast.” Through her journals, Chamberlin also hopes to honor the journey that is breast cancer diagnosis, treatment and recovery, something she feels is missing from today’s dialogue on the disease. “We just want to celebrate the surviving,” Chamberlin said. “But we want to honor the suffering and the pain and really the depth of what someone goes through.” This isn’t her only thought about revolutionizing the breast cancer world, not by a long shot. Chamberlin has ideas on how to not only change the discussion, but the

treatment, the process and the support system. She even hopes to one day have a program where breast cancer patients and survivors can participate in art therapy with her. One thing is for sure, Laura Chamberlin is an inspiration. In a month we dedicate to honoring those who are currently suffering from breast cancer, those who have lost their battle, as well as those who have survived it, Chamberlin’s story is right at home. Not only did she survive the disease, she is thriving. Aside from the pink ribbons, bras and charity walks, Chamberlin is a real example of the heroism that is the breast cancer fight. Her professional life is dedicated to the service and aid to some of the most struggling and at-risk members of our society. And now she is expanding that reach to the world of breast cancer through exposing her own struggles and triumphs with the world, in hopes that other women are helped by hearing her story. Chamberlin’s book includes many quotes from songs by artists such as Simon and Garfunkel, one of which seems extremely fitting to her story. “Sail on silver girl, sail on by. Your time has come to shine. All your dreams are on their way, see how they shine.” This silver girl is shining her light on everyone around her, using her inspiring story to help others. You can find more information on her book, and donate to help fund its publishing at www.underneaththepinkribbon.com.

Editorial & Opinion

Bill Maher, Ben Affleck and Islam

ast Friday night a rare dialogue/debate took place on American television. It was rare because it involved criticism of Islam, one of the many taboo subjects that are labeled “politically incorrect.” And it took place on the program “Real Time with Bill Maher,” a show not generally known for taking politically incorrect positions. But on this night the host, Bill Maher, along with atheism-advocate Sam Harris, had a vigorous debate with Actor Ben Affleck, New York Times columnist Nicholas Kristof, and former Republican National Committee Chairman Michael Steele. Bill Maher, a man of the left on virtually every issue, began by defending liberalism’s honor against liberal hypocrisy on the subject of Islam: “Liberals need to stand up for liberal principles. ... Liberal principles like freedom of speech, freedom to practice any religion you want without fear of violence, freedom to leave a religion, equality for women, equality for minorities including homosexuals -- these are liberal principles that liberals applaud for [pointing to his audience], but then when you say in the Muslim world this is what’s lacking, then they get upset.” Sam Harris then added: “Liberals have really failed on the topic of theocracy. They’ll criticize ... Christians; they’ll still get agitated over the abortion clinic bombing that happened in 1984, but when you talk about the treatment of women and homosexuals and free thinkers and public intellectuals in the Muslim world, I would argue that liberals have failed us. And the crucial point of confusion is that we have been sold this meme of ‘Islamophobia,’ where every criticism of the doctrine of Islam gets conflated with bigotry toward Muslims as people. That’s intellectually ridiculous.” Ben Affleck and Nicholas Kristof -- along with, sad to say, a former chairman of the Republican National Committee -- would have none of that. Affleck’s first response to the indictment of the liberal

DENNIS PRAGER CREATORS.COM double standard was to ask Sam Harris: “Are you the person that understands the officially codified doctrine of Islam?” To which Harris responded: “I’m actually well-educated on this topic.” Affleck, presumably not desirous of comparing his knowledge of Islam with that of Harris, moved on: “You’re saying that Islamophobia is not a real thing?” “It’s gross! It’s racist!” Affleck continued, in answer to his own question. “It’s like saying, ‘I’m not your shifty Jew,’” comparing an antisemitic epithet to what Maher and Harris were saying. To which Harris pointed out that there is no comparison between attacks on all members of a group and attacks on ideas: “We have to be able to criticize bad ideas. And Islam is the mother lode of bad ideas.” That really set Affleck off. “Jesus! It’s an ugly thing to say.” This was classic leftist thinking. The question of whether an assertion is true is of little or no interest to the left. The question of concern to the left is whether something is politically incorrect. Then the New York Times columnist, Kristof, offered his take: “The picture you’re painting is to some extent true, but it is hugely incomplete. It is certain that plenty of fanatics and jihadis are Muslim, but [so are] the people who are standing up to them -- Malala [the Pakistani 12-year-old shot and critically wounded by Islamists for attending school and advocating that other girls do so], Muhammad Ali Dadkhah in

Iran, in prison for nine years for speaking up for Christians, [and] a friend that I had in Pakistan [who] was shot this year, Rashid Rahman, for defending people accused of apostasy.” Kristof’s response is a frequent one. So it is worth responding to. It is quite true that there are heroic Muslims who are fighting the Islamists throughout the Muslim world -- and that some of them have been murdered for doing so. These people are moral giants. But their existence has nothing to do with the criticisms leveled by Maher and Harris, since they never said or implied that all Muslims are bad. There were heroic Germans who fought Hitler and the Nazis. Therefore what? If Kristof had been present when people criticized Germany’s values, would he have labeled them “Germanophobes?” But it was later in the dialogue that Kristof expressed the most dishonest of the left’s arguments on this issue: “The great divide is not between Islam and the rest. It’s rather between the fundamentalists and the moderates in each faith.” “In each faith,” Kristof ? Where, sir, are the Christian and Jewish jihadists? The only Jewish state in the world is one of the freest countries on earth, with protections for minority religions and women and homosexuals unknown anywhere in the Muslim world. And virtually every free country in the world is in the Christian world. Presumably, these are just “ugly” facts. This debate was valuable. Even more valuable would be if Maher and Harris came to realize that the death of JudeoChristian values and their being supplanted by leftism is producing hundreds of millions of people who think like Ben Affleck and Nicholas Kristof. Dennis Prager’s latest book, “Still the Best Hope: Why the World Needs American Values to Triumph,” was published April 24, 2013 by HarperCollins. He is a nationally syndicated radio show host and creator of PragerUniversity.com.

Training a Cat to Nap

hen I was a boy, growing up in Missouri, there were people who would say that a particularly challenging task was, “like herding cats.” The simile does not have to

be explained. So, as the Mideast explodes in flames, as Ebola feverishly stumbles toward my door, even as Texas school children are taught that Jesus was the first president, even as Kim Kardashian inexplicably makes her tawdry, stupid way into the newspapers, I’m teaching a cat to nap. One would expect teaching a cat to nap would be much easier than herding cats. In fact, it strains the imagination that any cat would require sleeping lessons, sleeping being the signature skill of all cats. Backstory. We had an old cat, a very gentle fellow who loved to sleep on me. On days off, particularly in the cold weather, I would return to our home after eating $7 worth of pancakes in a diner located across the street from a decommissioned municipal incinerator. Full of carbs, I would lie on our couch, a bent pipe between my lips and my Kindle in my hands. The cat would jump up on my stomach, turn around twice, stretch out and go to sleep. Within a half hour, I, too, would be asleep. It was a comfortable and comforting thing to do on a lazy day off. Alas, the old cat died and, a few months back, we acquired a kitten. She is a calico named Maggie and she moves through our house at an average speed of about 35 miles an hour, swinging from the curtains, playing with a lime green mouse-shaped toy, leaping straight up into the air with the distilled happiness of youth. I glare resentfully from the couch, try to reach out and scoop her up but, if I do, she lights but briefly on my

How else can you explain the Republican Party’s decades-long attempt to turn back the working class’ clock to 1905? How else can you explain our involvement in Iraq? How else can you explain the Super Bowl? I caught her the other night, found her napping on our bed. I slipped off my shoes, turned on the gentle reading light next to the bed and found a book on the nightstand. She dozed off, rolled over on her back and slept with all four paws up, each one curled delicately at the wrist. I dozed off for a

while myself. She wasn’t sleeping on me but she was sleeping next to me and I was dreaming peacefully of those long winter days when I’m off from work and here’s a fat book of medieval history to be read. I believe that almost all we can use to oppose the world’s madness and horror are manners and comfort.

Business Briefs WOODFORD RESERVE PARTNERS WITH SONOMA-CUTRER TO UNVEIL UNIQUE WHISKEY EXPRESSION Woodford Reserve announced the release of its latest product, the Woodford Reserve Master’s Collection Sonoma-Cutrer Pinot Noir Finish, which will be available for purchase in limited quantities in early November. This new whiskey release cements the brand’s longstanding commitment to, and appreciation of, innovation. The Woodford Reserve Master’s Collection Sonoma-Cutrer Pinot Noir Finish was created under the watchful eye of respected industry veteran and Woodford Reserve Master Distiller Chris Morris, who partnered with Sonoma-Cutrer Winemaking Director Mick Schroeter to develop a one-of-a-kind release that challenges long held industry definitions of the category. Because industry definitions require that bourbons be aged in new, charred oak barrels, the Sonoma-Cutrer Pinot Noir Finish is not technically a bourbon. Rather, it represents the overall direction of the category, one that sees inspiration stemming from ingenuity, passion and creativity. The Sonoma-Cutrer Pinot Noir Finish is a release that is inspired by, and pays tribute to, the original commitment to ingenuity that have been constant throughout the history of both brands.

Released as the latest offering under the brand’s umbrella of nine total Master’s Collection expressions, the Sonoma-Cutrer Pinot Noir Finish was created by adjusting the whiskey’s fifth source of flavor—maturation. By finishing a batch of the original Woodford Reserve whiskey in a used Pinot Noir barrel that was shipped directly from the Sonoma-Cutrer winery in California, the release has a unique flavor profile that hasn’t been experienced in a bourbon before. Originally, the barrels aged three unique vintages of the brand’s Burgundian style Pinot Noir, which gives this SonomaCutrer Pinot Noir Finish a refreshingly fruit forward flavor profile that is truly one-of-a-kind. The SonomaCutrer Pinot Noir Finish will be available for purchase in select markets within the United States and in limited international markets beginning in early November, with a suggested retail price of $99.99 for 750ml. The Master’s Collection has become an acclaimed addition to the Woodford Reserve portfolio, with the Collection gaining its inspiration from the tradition and rich heritage that surrounds the brand’s historic distillery. Though today home to Woodford Reserve, the distillery has been a category pioneer as early as the mid1800s, when owner Oscar Pepper and Master Distiller James Crow developed several key processes that shaped the early days of the category, and which continue to be used today, including sour mashing and charred barrel maturation. Today, the Woodford Reserve Distillery is visited by more than 130,000 visitors each year.

JEFFERSONTOWN MV BRANCH TO HOST OPEN HOUSE FOR COMMUNITY

The Jeffersontown Motor Vehicle Branch renovations in the Bremer Ehrler Building are now complete. The Branch features nine work stations for neighbor-

hood residents and car dealers, offices for management and a storage area and break room for employees. Jeffersontown’s interior is rich in design and color palette, with clean lines and a modern appeal that differs from what might be expected in most government offices. “Refreshing this branch and upgrading the technology lines and equipment made perfect sense to better serve the area residents and automobile dealers that patronize this office.” said Bobbie Holsclaw, Jefferson County Clerk. The Jeffersontown MV Branch will be hosting an open house Tuesday, Oct. 14 from 11:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. to share the branches new look with the community.

TRINITY HIGH SCHOOL RECEIVES PNC/FUND FOR THE ARTS GRANT

The Fund for the Arts in Louisville will provide a PNC/Fund for the Arts grant to partner with Actors Theatre of Louisville so that Trinity High School students may experience the New Voices – Playwriting in the Classroom program. Trinity teacher Gary Owens applied for the grant. “We believe that arts experiences are an invaluable supplement to a student’s educational experience,” Fund for the Arts Vice President Kristin Wingfeld said in a press release. “Studies have shown that involvement in the arts can lead to higher attendance rates and increased test scores, as well as encouraging students to have a higher level of engagement in their community.”

CONVERSATIONS WITH LORI KOMMOR

Beth Caldwell and Barb Caldwell-Huber.

A Spirited Event

ocated in the heart of Old Louisville, The Conrad-Caldwell House and Museum is gearing up for their annual Spirit Ball promising an evening you won’t want to miss. The theme this year celebrates the 100th anniversary of the Belle Of Louisville. Costumed guests will board the “haunted steamboat” to the tunes of ragtime. Guests will get to meander through the 1900’s style mansion enjoying live entertainment along the way. Caldwell descendants, Beth Caldwell and Barb Caldwell-Huber share with me some details and surprises that party-goers can expect from this year’s event. LORI KOMMOR: Why is the Spirit Ball fundraiser important to the Conrad-Caldwell House Museum? BETH CALDWELL and BARB CALDWELL-HUBER: This 119-year old 10,000 square foot mansion has an annual operational budget of more than $150,000. Typical of a nonprofit, the museum must raise much of its operations revenue from fundraising. The annual Spirit Ball Masquerade is our oldest and most significant fundraiser. Participants are able to spend an evening in this mansion museum, partying in the beautiful surroundings that Louisville’s captains of industry once enjoyed. The house has also embarked on a capital campaign to raise $300,000 for necessary renovations. The Spirit Ball Masquerade, and revenues from event rental and tours, covers the operations and maintenance only. KOMMOR: Can you list some of the reasons you’re proud to raise money for the Conrad-Caldwell House Museum? CALDWELL: The Conrad-Caldwell House Museum is not only a valuable repository of art and history, developing community pride by helping the public become aware of the rich history of our city and region. It is also a favorite destination for tourists, locals, and partygoers. For the quality of its design, architecture, education and entertainment, the Conrad-Caldwell House has received praise. Victorian Homes Magazine (August 2011) described the mansion as a “design template,” for homeowners who seek “a bit of formality, elegance, refined craftsmanship and a respect for decorative arts.” Currently, Trip Advisor ranks the museum as #6 out of 78 attractions in Louisville. We received the Trip Advisor 2014 Certificate of Excellence. And, in 2013, the Spirit Ball received the LEO Reader’s Choice Award for Best Charity Event in Louisville. KOMMOR: Can you share with me some of the details of this year’s Spirit Ball? CALDWELL: The Spirit Ball Masquerade begins at 7 p.m. on Saturday, Oct. 25 at the Conrad-Caldwell

House Museum. This year, we have adopted a steamboat theme, “Celebrating the Spirit(s) of the Belle,” the spirits having a double meaning (ghosts and liquor). We are not an official event of the Belle Centennial. The event includes the following activities: four live musical entertainments; casino style game tables, a bourbon tasting by Four Roses, Tarot card and palm readers, a hearty appetizer buffet, and a silent and live auction as well as admission to the Louisville’s River exhibit on the 3rd floor of the museum. This year we have two ticket prices: $150 for the entire evening 7 p.m. to 12:30 a.m., and $50 per ticket for the after party only, which begins at 9:30 p.m. in Caldwell Hall (the garden level reception room below the museum) KOMMOR: There is an after party, which is new to the event. Can you elaborate on the details? CALDWELL: We decided to add a second tier to the event, the after party, to make our fundraiser more accessible to persons who might not be able to afford the $150 ticket price. KOMMOR: There is a list of entertainers scheduled throughout the evening. Can you reveal the artists and what guests can expect? CALDWELL: Christopher White, who is a pianist will be playing in the parlor on the second floor landing in the mansion. Guests can listen to jazz by Rascals of Ragtyme, Louisville’s newest chanteuse Karan Chavis alongside keyboardist Winton Reynolds and jazz performer Sheryl Rouse Crawford will entertain the Caldwell Hall. KOMMOR: Can you tell me about some of the live and silent auction items guests will have the opportunity to bid on? CALDWELL: We have both a silent and live auction with the usual array of gift certificates for dining and entertainment. A few favorite donations so far are; Lunch at Buck’s with Aaron Yarmuth; a seven course dinner served by writer and gourmet chef, David Domine, in his home; one-week in a vacation home on Tybee Island; a variety of hand-blown glass vases and bowls; a variety of beautiful baskets donated by area distilleries. KOMMOR: Where is the best place for someone to purchase tickets? CALDWELL: We offer a few ticket choices. For $150 per ticket guests can enjoy the entire event, including an open bar, bourbon tastings, music, blackjack and the after party. For $50 per ticket for the after party only (ticket holders are admitted only to Caldwell Hall, but will enjoy a roulette table, two drink tickets, a cash bar and an opportunity to bid raffles style on several items.

A Chance of a Ghost S

By STEVE KAUFMAN Contributing Writer

usan Shearer is not afraid of ghosts. When she bought her house on Sixth Street in Old Louisville 10 years ago, she says she had bigger problems. “The house was falling down,” she said. “I lived without plumbing or electricity for six months. The structure was so weak that I had no walls in the back the first winter I was here. I lived with constant construction for two years.” One day, she recalled, her son was working on the house when he saw a little girl on the landing of the staircase, looking right at him. No little girl was living in the house. But one once did. About 100 years ago, an obstreperous child was always running through the house despite her family’s efforts to restrain her. One day, she ran down the stairs and out into the street, where a car driving by hit and killed her. Was that what her son saw? Apparently, people knew of the spectral presence of the little girl’s ghost in the house over the years, though nobody bothered to tell Shearer. Since then, she said, she’s heard of disembodied voices, of things being moved, of people feeling their

legs being touched or brushed. In other words – ghosts? The entire neighborhood’s history of hauntings has become somewhat of a cottage industry, thanks largely to Old Louisville ghost expert David Domine, a professor of languages at Bellarmine University who has written extensively on the subject in books such as “America’s Most Haunted Neighborhood” and “Ghosts of Old Louisville.” This weekend, Domine will host his 10th annual Halloween-related Victorian Ghost Walk in Old Louisville, and Shearer has volunteered her house as a stop on the tour. On the evenings of Oct. 17, 18 and 19, from 7-9 p.m., groups will leave the Information Center in Central Park every 15 minutes for a tour of the neighborhood and four of its haunted homes: Shearer’s 125-year-old home; the Inn at the Park and the Central Park Bed & Breakfast, both on Fourth Street; and a home on Third Street. Tickets are $25 at the door, the proceeds benefit the Old Louisville Information Center. Domine calls the event “scripted outdoor theater.” Along the way, he said, hired actors will be out on the sidewalk telling their ghost stories. Actors will also be in the house, portraying hauntings actually associated with each house.

In the park each night at the end of the tour, the Gilbert and Sullivan Society of Louisville will do a scene from the 1877 comic opera, “The Sorcerer.” Scripted theater? Actors? Couldn’t Domine get the real ghosts to appear? He is, after all, the patron “saint” of all these ghosts in the neighborhood, isn’t he? Actually, says Domine, his investment in the subject is more historical researcher than netherworld believer. “I’ve found that the ghost stories are a good way to talk about the history and architecture of this great neighborhood,” he said. “You get much smaller turnouts when you announce you’ll be talking about history than when you talk about ghosts.” Are there actually ghosts, though? “I’ve been told there are,” he said. “There’s a lot of oral history about these sightings and events. But I’d have to actually see one to believe in them.” Shearer, for one, is a believer. “In those days,” she says, “there were no funeral parlors, so the dead were laid out in the home, even photographed, and people came by to pay their respects to the open coffins. “They died in their homes, and never left – ever.” Her sitting room during the tour will be staged with a tableau portraying a Victorian-era wake, with an open coffin, flickering candles and black-clad mourners. Her event-appropriate black cat, name-appropriately Salem, will also wander through the room. But they didn’t have to bring in old furniture or other accessories to set the mood. That’s how Shearer has furnished and decorated this house. No modern upgrades for her. She leans towards period furniture, accessories and décor. The more aged the chairs in the living room, the better. “I want every scar, every scratch, every dent,” she insisted. “Everybody who knows me knows not to give me anything new. I want the house to feel like you’re walking back into a past century.” At one point, Shearer hired some ghost hunters who recorded voices down in the coal chute saying “Susan’s taking care of us, she’s going to save us.” “The ghosts are very happy that you’re preserving their old home,” she said. “They don’t bother me, they know they’re welcome here.” She also hired a psychic, who looked out the back window and sensed people milling around outside in the empty back yard. “We later found out the property stood on the ground of the Southern Exposition (1883-87), so there would have been nothing but people out there.” The non-technical explanation: Spooky!

Dear Abby

DEAR ABBY

Transgender Ex-Husband is Embarrassment to His Sons

EAR ABBY: After 10 years of marriage, my now ex-husband told me he is transgender. He isn’t taking hormones, but he makes no attempt to hide his feminine dressing, makeup and wigs from our 6- and 9-year-old sons. They understand little of their dad’s new life, other than that their dad likes “girl stuff.” They often tell me they are embarrassed being with their dad in public when he has his nails painted or is wearing female clothing. I have tried talking to my ex about this, but he becomes resentful when I bring it up. He feels he can do whatever he wants regardless of how he embarrasses our sons. Do you think I could take him to court to have an order put in place that he not dress like that when he has our children? -NEEDS TO KNOW IN NEW YORK DEAR NEEDS TO KNOW: You could discuss it with your divorce lawyer, but I don’t think it would work. It would be much better if you asked your ex to explain to his boys the reason he’s dressing in female attire so they can understand it. Your husband is not going to change, so they are going to have to interact with him until they are quite a bit older. ••• DEAR ABBY: I think I have an abuse problem. I have been with my boyfriend for a year, and already I feel like he is fed up with me. I don’t want to lose him. When I was younger, my father used to abuse me. It was years ago, but I feel like I might have gotten that trait from him. In addition, I have a tendency to smack my boyfriend on the arm when he’s verbally abusing me. I just want it to stop. I love this man and I feel terrible after I do it. I keep telling him I’m sorry and that I have the worst tendency to act on impulse. Please tell me how to stop because I CANNOT lose him. Any suggestions? -- SORRY IN KANSAS CITY, MO. DEAR SORRY: If you want your relationship to improve, you must realize it will take effort not only on your part but also your boyfriend’s. Neither of you handles anger or frustration appropriately. He shouldn’t verbally abuse you if something bothers him. And you need to find other ways than hitting him to make him stop. Couples counseling could help you communicate more effectively with each other. Many licensed mental health professionals offer it. Please don’t wait. ••• DEAR ABBY: Our 5-year-old daughter, “Maya,” was diagnosed with a severe peanut and tree nut allergy before she was 2. My parents have completely overhauled their house and have gone nut-free. My husband’s parents, on the other hand, refuse to cooperate with Maya’s diet restrictions when she visits. I have tried talking to them, which in turn upsets my hus-

band. He keeps making excuses for them, even though he demanded the school become nut-free to accommodate her. We were scheduled to go to their house for an early Thanksgiving when they revealed that the house still wasn’t safe for Maya to come to. My husband’s solution was to go there for the weekend and leave us behind. How can I get my in-laws to understand, and my husband to stand up for his daughter and me? -- LOOKING OUT FOR MAYA DEAR LOOKING OUT FOR MAYA: You can’t. Your husband is still under his parents’ thumb. While he may love his parents, his first responsibility is to you and his children. Until he finds his backbone and realizes that, he will remain at his parents’ beck and call. I’m glad you’re looking out for your daughter because her father doesn’t appear to be emotionally equipped to do it. ••• DEAR ABBY: I can no longer go to funeral visitations. I have buried my parents, two sisters, four brothers and nine nieces and nephews. The number of loved ones I have lost, and the visitations and funerals I have had to attend, have been overwhelming. I can’t face it anymore. How do you suggest I avoid them? I am running out of excuses, and I’m tired of being a no-show. -- HATES FUNERALS IN ILLINOIS DEAR HATES FUNERALS: People deal with loss in different ways, and you don’t have to apologize for feeling the way you do. Stop making excuses and start telling the truth. When you are notified about a death, offer your condolences, a donation, flowers, and explain that after 17 deaths in your family, you no longer attend funerals because it has become too much for you. That way, no one will think you don’t care or wonder why you didn’t show up. ••• DEAR ABBY: I have a serious problem that’s consuming my life. I know people say you never really get over your first love, but I don’t know why after six years I still think about my ex on a daily basis. Abby, I am happily married. My husband is the perfect man for me -- understanding, sweet and patient. My ex, “Chad,” cheated on me with other women and recently married the one who effectively ended our relationship. I thought I had moved on, but I can’t seem to stop thinking about him. My ex and I had a strong chemistry -- not just a physical one -- that my husband and I don’t. Somehow I wonder if, while my husband is the man of my dreams, Chad was my true soul mate. I don’t want to jeopardize my marriage because of a lurking shadow from my past. How do I get over this and move on? -- DESPERATE FOR ADVICE IN CALIFORNIA DEAR DESPERATE: Old habits are hard to break, and sometimes memories do linger to the point of being intrusive. While it can be frustrating, this is not an indication that

The problem is my bride and I feel that we’re ready to buy a home, although we don’t have enough in our joint savings to make a down payment. She feels I should use my savings to make the down payment. I don’t feel right about it because this savings technique has saved me twice in my life. Once when I was a child and my parents lost their jobs, and again when I lost my job in the recession. Am I selfish for wanting to keep my savings off limits? -- MR. SAVINGS DEAR MR. SAVINGS: No. I happen to agree with your fiscally conservative philosophy. You learned from experience how important an emergency fund can be. Because buying a home is not an emergency, wait until you and your wife have saved enough for the down payment. Also, because the money in that savings account was yours before marriage, it may not be a joint asset, and it could save you a third time if you don’t spend it. ••• DEAR ABBY: My stepdaughter, age 18, has recently begun to send her father text messages while we are in the same room, rather than speak to him.

They are nothing confidential in nature, just general conversation. What are your thoughts on this? -- BYSTANDER IN NEW YORK DEAR BYSTANDER: What your stepdaughter is doing is as rude as when two people whisper to each other in front of a third person.

A Calculated Rhythm

Kentucky Coach John Calipari yelled to his team during the 2014 NCAA National Championship, where his Wildcats fell to UConn 54-60.

Calipari Talks About Preparations for 2014-15

ohn Calipari is getting ready to tip off his sixth season as head basketball coach for the University of Kentucky Wildcats. In his first five seasons, his UK teams have gone 152-37 with three trips to the Final Four and the 2012 National Championship. Calipari has once again landed one of the top recruiting classes in the nation, and paired with returnees like Willie Cauley-Stein, Alex Poythress, plus Andrew and Aaron Harrison from the 2014 National Runner-Up team, the Cats figure to begin the 2014-15 campaign at the top of the polls. They get it underway with "Big Blue Madness" on Friday. KENT TAYLOR: You've always liked short rotations, is it going to be tough to expand that? JOHN CALIPARI: Jack Leaman, when I was at UMass, told me I played too many people. Jack Leaman coached Julius Erving and the great teams. Coach Wooden, I talked to him in 2010, he said, "I like you're team, but you're playing too many people, but I understand why you do it. We played 6, maybe 7, you earned your spot and you kept your spot. I understand recruiting and all the things that have gone on, there are no JV teams, it's a different deal now." I've never done this before, what I'm about to do. I'm studying it, I'm trying to figure out ways so that I make sure that no one is left out, or this doesn't hurt anybody. This isn't like, ‘okay, everybody is equal.’ That's not the case, if a couple of guys deserve a few more minutes than everybody else, they're going to get that. If we have to play a certain way at the end of games to win, then we're going to play that way. TAYLOR: When the Cleveland Cavaliers called you, did you have an inkling that LeBron James would end up there? CALIPARI: Um, yeah, yeah I knew it was a distinct

KENT TAYLOR TAYLOR’S 10 - WAVE 3 SPORTS possibility. I didn't know it was done, or it would have been done. I don't believe it was done at the time. My decision was based on four young men, really five, that decided they were going to come back to college. They didn't come back because they wanted me to be happy, or they love Coach Cal, that's not what they did. I even had a team meeting and said, "Did you come back to make me happy?" I went, Willie, Alex, I went through all the twins. They all kind of smiled and said, no. They came back for us to help develop and prepare them, so when they hit their dream they're ready to succeed and they didn't think they were ready. That being said, if I had taken off, they couldn't put their names in the draft, they had to stay. Maybe Kenny Payne gets the job, maybe Kenny Payne doesn't get the job. Maybe a coach comes in and says, I'm going to play my own people. Who knows what would have happened. That was the hardest thing that I wasn't going to be able to get by.

round, and it showed me that I had something different here. I went from the business of basketball to the business of helping families. By doing that it helped the school, it helped the program, it helped the athletic department. Think of everything that's happening around here. I'm not saying it's all geared to basketball, but a lot of light that's been brought here and a lot of the positive stuff has been through those players. By them going pro, some after a year, two years, it hasn't hurt the program, as a matter of fact, it's helped the program. I became a tool for these families and a conduit for these families to help them reach their dreams.

TAYLOR: Does that force you to take stock and realize how much you do enjoy this job? CALIPARI: My move may not be in basketball. I don't know if I'll ever retire, I'll probably retire, and it may not be in basketball.

TAYLOR: What is the key to get all of the egos to mesh and play together? CALIPARI: They have to know I'm about them. If I were about me, or this program, well these kids don't share because they're trying to survive, they're trying to eat. If they know, I have your back, you're fine, worry about your teammates, worry about winning. I'm not going to hold you back. I'm not going to talk you into staying. If you have an opportunity, that will be your choice with your family. That's what we've been doing here, and that won't change. Let's just say in the next two years we get 18 guys in the and we look forward and we're going to have another 17, I may do this for a while, as long as I see what's happening here for families. It may never happen again. The guy may not want to do it this way, and maybe you can't do it at other schools this way, you can do it here. So maybe I ride it and say, let's just keep this going a few more years. There will be a time when I retire, and it may not be in basketball.

TAYLOR: You have said many times that this job has about a 10 year shelf life, does that still sound about right? CALIPARI: In 2010 five guys got drafted in the first

TAYLOR: How is your hip and how much does that affect your day-to-day job? See Page B-2

Kentucky WR Demarco Robinson escaped Louisiana-Monroe’s Junior Williams. Robinson caught a team-best four passes for 37 yards.

The Long Blue Mile

imagine people around the country seeing the crawl, “ULM 14, UK 3,” must have thought [a], “Who’s ULM??” But also [b], “Same old Kentucky.” Sure, they’re 4-1. Sure, they beat a struggling Vanderbilt and an obviously overrated South Carolina. But, like all Kentucky football teams of old, they lose the game they shouldn’t lose and sink slowly in the East. Then along came Bud. In the first quarter, already leading 7-3, LouisianaMonroe lined up for a 39-yard field goal try. Bud Dupree blocked it, saving the humiliation of falling behind 10-3 to this team UK should be handling easily. Then oops! A minute later, Jojo Kemp, throwing out of the vaunted wildcat formation, heaved a wiffel ball that was intercepted and the Warhawks did not give this gift back. They scored and it was now 14-3. Only Dupree’s block had kept it from being an even more humiliating 17-3. And, by the way, one more question answered. As Matt Jones said on his postgame show, there has been the question of whether Kemp would ever throw out of the formation. Now we know – and he’ll never do that again. A few minutes into the second quarter, ULM was moving again. Then Dupree sacked the quarterback, ULM punted and, about a minute later, Patrick Towles and Javess Blue hooked up on an 83-yard touchdown. Kentucky still trailed, but for the first time in the game since Boom Williams’ opening 75-yard kickoff return, it looked like the earth was settling back into its normal axis. It became a steady drumbeat of efficient ball movement and some spectacular plays, like Williams’ 58-yard touchdown run in the third quarter and an amazing one-handed catch by Blue that deserves to be all over the highlight reels. We’ve seen one-handed catches before, and they’re all special, but this one was extraordinary. Running into the end zone, Blue snatched Towles’ pass over his shoulder with his right hand while his left hand was being wrapped up by the ULM defender. Meaning Blue was forced to tuck, fall, hit the ground, roll over and come back up controlling the ball entirely with just his right hand and arm. And so, once again, Kentucky has a different offensive hero for a different game. If Blue is truly

STEVE KAUFMAN CATNIP over his nagging injuries and taking his place on a wide, deep, tall and athletic receiving corps, he could well give new meaning to the term: “Go Big Blue!” But the heart and soul of good football teams usually lie on defense. And the centrifugal force of this defense, the guy who puts it on his shoulders every week, is Sophia and Alvin Dupree Sr.’s little boy, Bud, out of Irwinton, Georgia. Seems fitting that Bud Depree’s college major is Leadership Development. I know Bill Curry is not a favorite name around here, but I’ve always found him to be the best of all the TV analysts. I was a Michigan fan back in the 90’s, watching a typically important game against Michigan State. Michigan stopped State’s opening drive, forcing a field goal attempt. But State faked the kick and threw for a touchdown. The Spartans went wild. Curry was less impressed. “Games are not won by trick plays in the first quarter,” he said, “they’re won over the full, long, 60-minute haul, somewhere in the middle of that scrum where hands, pads, legs and helmets come together in a collision of force, where one side over the course of the game begins to impose its will.” In a test of wills, I like knowing Bud Dupree is wearing blue.

He’s the kind of guy you love only if he’s on your side. I think he proved once again, with this nationally televised NBA combine, why Kentucky fans should love him. Jay Bilas on ESPN admires the program, and Bilas is not an easy sell. If you watched the thing on TV, you didn’t see much actual basketball. You heard Bilas, Seth Greenberg and Avery Johnson rave about what Calipari was doing for his current team’s NBA chances and his future teams’ recruiting. In other words, Calipari was doing what every other “good” coach wishes he’d thought of first. But, as someone said, how many other coaches have nine McDonald’s All-Americans to lure 90 NBA executives across the country and into their gyms? Sorta makes you wonder how long it might be before Mark Stoops invites NFL scouts to his combine? Photo Courtesy of DONNA GRAY

JOIN THE CALIPARTY

I can’t let the weekend go by without commenting on Friday’s John Calipari Show of Shows. I know the college basketball nation is full of really good game coaches. Mike Krzyzewski, Bill Self, Mark Few, Shaka Smart and, of course, Rick Pitino are always mentioned. Rarely Calipari. Calipari has taken three schools to the Final Four, over and over again. Even with a national title, though, he seems to have to continue proving himself. He’s dismissed as a used car salesman, a snake oil guy, a self-promoter, double-talker and, worse, a guy who tiptoes along the edge of what’s defined as legal by the NCAA. There are those just waiting for him to be caught.

Freshman RB Stanley “Boom” Williams’ 100-yard rushing game marked the first of his career and the second consecutive game UK had a 100-yard rusher.

A Calculated Rhythm From Page B-1 CALIPARI: You can see on my face that I'm sleeping. Last year, you could say it was the season or this job. You sleep two hours a night, you wake up 12 times in a night, it's hard to stay focused. It's hard to really have the frame of mind you need to do this job. I'm sleeping now, I've got to get back in shape. I went from the operation to a little bit of a recovery to back at it. I have not gotten my rhythm. I've missed Mass for three weeks. I got to get back in my rhythm of getting up, going to Mass, working out, practice, and I'm not in that rhythm right now. TAYLOR: How good is Derek Willis and how good can he be? CALIPARI: He and Dominique. Dominique is the same way. One; they're Kentucky kids that wanted to be in this program. Derek Willis has gained 20 pounds. Dominique has just improved his shot, now the program is rising with them. A lot of kids came back, which means we've got a full team. I don't know what that means for them right now. All I know is, they want to get better as players and they are. Derek Willis is like an A, B student. I think he may have had all A's last term. This is a kid that's come here, that's focused on academics, that's focused on basketball, is

smiling. There's nothing that makes me happier than seeing a young man come out of that shell to blossom into something more. Having that self discipline that turns into that self respect, that turns into that positive vibe that he gives out now.

TAYLOR: What is the craziest question that a parent has asked you during a recruiting visit? CALIPARI: Most of them are serious. I'll tell you something that's funny. I go in and I have a story to tell and Tony Barbee is my assistant, and we walk out of the house and he says, "You told that story twice." I said, "No I didn't." He said, "You told it early and then you told it again before we left." I called the Mom and said, "Did I tell that story twice?" She said, "Yeah you did." I said, "Why didn't you say something?" She said, "It was a pretty funny story, I liked hearing it again." A guy walks in your home and your child is a special child, like a genius, and you want that genius to blossom into something special. We have fun in there, and I want them to feel good about it, but I want them to feel that they can trust us with their child. TAYLOR: How important is being a salesman to being successful in college basketball today? CALIPARI: Under sell, over deliver, that's sales.

Under sell, over deliver. So that when they see what is happening within this program, results move people. Numbers don't lie, 29 guys in the NBA, $820 million dollars of created wealth for the families of the kids that I've coached. Throw in a shoe contract or two, it's at a billion dollars. Anthony (Davis) and that crew haven't been paid a second contract. John Wall and DeMarcus (Cousins) and those guys in four years will get another contract, so you're talking in the billions. Do your kids get better? That sells. Getting them from point A to point B to point C.

TAYLOR: Most of the success here has come before any of the former players became big time NBA players, how much will that help your sales job? CALIPARI: What I tell all these kids, I can help you get in the league, 29 guys, but I'm not coaching you anymore. I'm not making the decisions, I'm not working you out anymore. You have to fall back on all these habits, that hopefully you took serious here. If you do, I can show you all the guys that have done well. They've not all been one and done McDonald's All-Americans. You'll say that he only takes a guy that's a pro before he gets there. Come on now, Josh Harrellson was absolutely Kareem Abdul-Jabbar before we got here. Eric Bledsoe, no one knew who he was.

Louisville LB Keith Kelsey chased after Clemson QB Deshaun Watson.

Things Can Only Get Better...

even weeks into the season, the hot topic around the Louisville football program is how the Cardinals are likely no more than two plays away from being undefeated. Indeed, it's easy to point to the muffed punt against Virginia and the ill-advised 3rd down spike against Clemson (or another single play) as the only things standing between UofL and a perfect 7-0 mark. Instead, the Cardinals have two heartbreaking conference losses heading into this weekend's Homecoming game against North Carolina State. The other prevailing conversation in the world of Cardinal sports this week has been that if Louisville had just an average - or even slightly below average offense, the Derby City would be home to a legitimate top 15 or top 10 team. It's not an assertion that's difficult to support. After seven games, Louisville ranks 100th in the country in total offense, 61st in scoring, 93rd in rushing, 74th in passing, and 120th in turnovers - keep in mind, those statistics factor in UofL's 66-point performance against Murray State. That isn't the profile of a team just inches away from perfection, it's the profile of a Big 5 conference bottom-feeder that not many people see playing a game after November. And yet, here the Cards are, still receiving top 25 votes and still appearing to be a squad capable of winning eight or nine games and having a special season. The reason? We may be witnessing the best defense in the history of Louisville football. Clemson offensive coordinator Chad Morris is the highest-paid assistant coach in college football for a reason. He knows more about the game than most people will ever forget, and earlier this week he said the Cardinal unit his team went up against last weekend might have been the best he's ever had to call plays against. "They were really good...they were really good,"

MIKE RUTHERFORD @CARDCHRONICLE/CARDCHRONICLE.COM Morris said. "Hats off to (UofL defensive coordinator Todd) Grantham and those guys. They were probably as fast a defense as we've seen. They have some guys that are going to play a long time in the NFL. It was one of the best, if not the best defenses we've seen since I've been here - including the LSU defense we saw a few years ago. They were on par with those guys, and with the Florida State team of a few years ago." It was easy for Morris to serve up that high praise after watching Louisville keep Clemson from scoring an offensive touchdown in a home game for the first time since 1995. Not bad for a debut in big, bad Death Valley. Of course, keeping opposing offenses from scoring is sort of this defense's "thing." The last time an opponent scored a touchdown that didn't come from its defense or special teams was the 3rd quarter of UofL's Sept. 13 loss at Virginia. That's 17 quarters and more than one month without allowing a single offensive touchdown, a stat the 1985 Chicago Bears would have to tip their collective hat towards. The buzz around Louisville's open practices back in August was that the program paid way too much to lure Grantham away from Georgia, and that this Cardinal team was going to be forced to ride Bobby Petrino's vaunted offense to several shootout victories. It was an understandable prognosis, even for those who had faith in Grantham's ability as a coach. Lost from last year's top-rated defense were a pair of first round

IGOR GURYASHKIN

NFL draft picks (safety Calvin Pryor and defensive end Marcus Smith), a third round pick who currently ranks in the NFL's top 10 in tackles (linebacker Preston Brown), and a player who set the school record for consecutive starts (safety Hakeem Smith). Somehow, Grantham has taken a top-ranked unit which lost its most vital parts and made it better. The Cardinal D heads into this weekend ranking No. 1 in the country in total defense, No. 1 in rushing defense, No. 3 in scoring defense, No. 6 in turnovers produced, and No. 11 in passing defense. They have kept opponents from crossing the 50-yard line into their own territory on 73.3 percent of the drives they've faced, easily the best rate in the country. And those times when the offense or the special teams have put them in bad spots? Cardinal foes have started drives in UofL territory 16 times this season, and only twice have they been able to put the ball in the endzone (13 percent). Earlier this week, Jerry Hinnen of CBS Sports put Cardinal defensive end Lorenzo Mauldin at No. 5 on his Heisman Trophy ballot. Mauldin was the only defensive player to receive a nod from any of the CBS writers, but his inclusion was essentially a gesture of respect towards the entire Louisville defense, a unit which the entire college football world is now beginning to recognize as one the sport's best. As frustrating as it is to think about how close UofL is to being perfect this late in the season, looking at the offensive statistics should make Cardinal supporters feel more fortunate about their team's record than upset. The unit which has put Louisville in this place is the same one that will allow it to have a shot at victory in each of its five remaining games. Given the names left on the schedule, that fact ought to make Cardinal fans awfully excited about the next month and-a-half.

Wise Dan to Miss Big Year-End Dance

ith a history that stretches well beyond two centuries in North America and much farther in Europe, it is natural that a tradition-enriched sport like Thoroughbred racing would be the subject of an adage developed and tested through the years. Some personal favorites: • You never know where a good horse will come from. • You’ve got to be in it to win it. • You have to wait for them or they will make you wait. But given an event in recent days, I would add one sentence to the roster of racing’s truisms: • A racetrack or event should never focus a marketing campaign on a single horse. This came to mind with word that two-time defending Horse of the Year, Wise Dan would miss this year’s Breeders’ Cup World Championships at Santa Anita. Wise Dan, who has a perfect record in four races during his 7-year-old season despite missing a stretch of the late spring and summer following a dangerous bout with colic that required surgery. The issue for Wise Dan is a non-displaced fracture on the bottom of his cannon bone on the fetlock of his right front foot. Trainer Charlie LoPresti noticed some swelling in the foot after last week’s stirring victory in the $1 million Shadwell Turf Mile at Keeneland. He ordered X-rays that revealed a “half-moon shaped.” There was never even a second’s hesitation on what to do. The injury does not require surgery, but Wise Dan does need rest. And that’s what he will get. World-renowned equine veterinarian and surgeon Dr. Larry Bramlage recommended 30 days of rest and an assessment to determine whether Wise Dan could return to racing next year, when the great gelding would be eight years old. For the near term there will be no bid for a record-tying third consecutive victory in the $2 million Breeders’ Cup Mile. It’s still possible he could earn a third straight “Horse

JOHN ASHER HORSE SENSE of the Year” title in an already-abbreviated racing season, but it will not be for any accomplishment beyond his four victories in 2014. The one group that could be at least mildly pleased by this week’s jarring news would be fans of the great Irish miler Goldikova, whose record of three consecutive wins in the Breeders’ Cup Mile will stand. One would assume that Wise Dan’s trip to the sidelines has ended a pre-Breeders’ Cup advertising campaign that focused on Fink’s star as “The Most Interesting Horse in the Word.” America’s Best Racing created a series of videos modeled after the popular Dos Equis “Most Interesting Man in the World” campaign. The campaign was an initiative launched by The Jockey Club and the National Thoroughbred Racing Association, that used social media to drive its campaign to make Wise Dan something of a household name heading up to the Oct. 31-Nov. 1 Breeders’ Cup World Championships. Even when a star Thoroughbred is in the best of hands, Thoroughbred racehorses are flesh-and-blood athletes that can suffer an injury or illness in an instant. Horses are always a bruise, ankle sprain, fever or sneeze away from missing a big race, and the best bet is to hope – but not count on – a big star making the event. Some other stars from here or abroad to fill the void left by Wise Dan, whose popularity has continued to grow in a four-year run of excellence in which he has won 16 consec-

utive stakes races on grass and also collected major wins on dirt and synthetic tracks. He has won 23 of 31 races – eleven of them Grade I stakes affairs – and his career bankroll has climbed to $7,552,920. In Wise Dan’s absence, the main equine focus of the event will likely fall on the 3-year-old Shared Belief, the unbeaten champion knocked out of the Kentucky Derby by a foot ailment, and California Chrome, who won the Derby and flirted with a Triple Crown, but brings a two-race losing streak to Santa Anita. But the focus for Mort Fink and Charlie LoPresti will be on the best horse either man could even dream of having. As the gelded homebred son of Wiseman’s Ferry benefits from his unexpected rest, both men will scrutinize the champion with the goal of determining where his future should be. “This horse has been everything to me, especially with the various illnesses I’ve had the last 10 years,” Fink told the Lexington Herald Leader’s Alicia Winze Hughes. “He’s the best medicine I’ve ever had. They’re telling me that the next 30 days will tell the story. If it grows back normally, we’re okay. If it doesn’t I will not run him unless he is 100 percent in any kind of race. He’ll be retired if it doesn’t grow back normal.” Whether Wise Dan could return to the top level of competition in 2015 under any circumstance is a question, given that he will be eight years old. But his ongoing run of success has been a marvelous thing to behold. It would be foolish to bet against that, even taking this injury into consideration, but there will come a time when the champ loses a significant step or two. Perhaps the injury will hasten the arrival of that moment, or perhaps not. Wise Dan is truly a special horse and it is a bonus that his future is in the talented and compassionate hands of Fink, LoPresti and Bramlage. Of Wise Dan’s injury, this is the best thing: we know that trio will do the right thing when decision time comes.

A Tale of Two Cities

Matt Jones: Well Tony, I thought the big story of the week was your brilliant coach’s clock management skills down there in Clemson. Third down, 27 seconds? Spike it!

Tony Vanetti: Wow. You know we’re all standing there like ‘What just happened?’ You’ve got the ball on the eight-yard line after a fabulous play from James Quick, and you’ve got an opportunity to beat Clemson at Clemson. Which a lot of people did not think would happen as they were a ten-point underdog. And when you clock that play, and then you come up with another play, it’s even worse when you call a play for which the Clemson defensive coordinator says ‘Oh yeah, we knew you were going to run that, because we saw you do it last year when you were coach at Western.’ And it’s like twisting the knife in your back, and it hurts even worse. No moral victories for the Cardinals, it was a loss and it sucked. Jones: I loved it, it was great to watch. In part because when Louisville loses I like it to be with one of their two obnoxious coaches making the mistake. The defense played great. You all really have a strong defense. And even the offense, as poorly as they played, the guys come up. James Quick makes a big play, Will Gardner makes the play, you’re thinking ‘Alright, things are going great.’ And of course, you screw up with coaching decisions. I think that’s the perfect way for them to lose with Bobby Petrino, the supposed brilliant, mad scientist, finding a way to screw it up. Vanetti: I had a feeling you were enjoying Bobby Petrino struggling through this first part of the season. Well, it’s not really early, you’re seven games in. But I know you got a kick out of all of the Louisville fans pounding Bobby Petirno and his X’s and O’s. Jones: Everybody says, you bring Bobby Petrino in because he’s so smart and his quarterbacks are just excellent and then he makes horrible decisions and the quarterback play is horrible. So that’s exactly what I love to see. The thing the team has going for them is the defense, which Bobby has nothing to do with. Obviously, it would’ve been nice for them to lose more games, but in some ways, as someone who has been pretty anti-Bobby Petrino, I love the thing that’s screwing them up, the thing that’s kept them from being 7-0 is the old ball coach himself. Vanetti: Well Bobby with quarterbacks is like Calipari with point guards. Everybody gets a year like that, just like last year for the regular season with you guys, the point guard wasn’t so good for Kentucky basketball. So maybe this season will turn around and we’ll end it like you guys did, so there you go. Jones: I have a feeling you’re going to end it with your first loss to Kentucky. Now, speaking of Kentucky, Louisiana Monroe isn’t anything to write home about. But now they get a stretch where

things to be lining up for them. They go to LSU, which could be a very difficult game to win. But what I think is interesting is Mississippi State, the number one team in the country, but if Kentucky can beat LSU, we could get College Game Day, how crazy is that? Vanetti: That is crazy, how you can have such a horrendous couple of years at Kentucky and then turn it around so quickly. You have a couple of teams that are down; Vanderbilt down, South Carolina down, but if you look at the games, you say ‘Wow, these guys are better at almost every position.’ The defense is better, but not spectacular. The offense at least is running the ball effectively. You guys are doing it the old school way, you are running the ball and playing good defense, that’s how you win in the SEC. My question to you is this. ‘Do you think that this is all smoke and mirrors? The strength of schedule isn’t exactly tough. You’ve beaten some names in football, but do you really thing you can go to Baton Rouge and win on a Saturday? Jones: Probably not. What I think - and a lot of people don’t want to hear this - I’m not sure Kentucky is really all that good. I think they are significantly better than they have been the past several years, because we were terrible. But to be as good as some of the conversations people are having? Probably not. I think by beating South Carolina you’ve made it to where you can go to a bowl game, and that still should be the goal for this team. I mean, dreams about winning the SEC I think are far-fetched, but what can happen now is with Missouri, Georgia, Tennessee and Louisville, you have four winnable games and you just want to find a way to win one of them so that you can get to a bowl game, which is what this team really needs. Vanetti: I think again, I wasn’t sure how I felt about the Governor’s Cup being at the end of the season, but when both teams are doing pretty well it does set up nicely. I mean my phone calls have been peppered in with who we’re playing that week, and then the Governor’s Cup. Jones: We don’t do that because we play in the SEC and we have real games between now and then. But I’m excited to go in there, my radio partner is going to dress as Bobby Petrino with a neck brace. And it’s going to be fun walking in the stadium. By the way, did you get a chance to watch the NBA Combine for UK? Vanetti: No, I have a job as most Louisville fans do, so I didn’t get to watch it. And I’m sure most Kentucky fans have jobs too. I think it’s a brilliant move by John Calipari, there’s no doubt about it. I hate when UK fans call him a genius, but in this case, it really just is a good move. Jones: Well, he is a basketball genius. He’s not a genius if you compare him to nuclear physicists,

Vanetti: I’m not going to argue with that, I’ve never doubted Calipari’s ability to coach and/or recruit. You win the national title, you go to the Final Four with three different teams, I’ll give the guy credit. He can coach, and it’s a value to have him in the state. As long as he stays in Kentucky and keeps doing that event, it’s not going to end. Jones: Do you agree with Pitino that since you all are an Adidas school you simply cannot compete, and it’s tough to be a Louisville coach because of what kind of shoes you wear? It’s really not seeming to hurt Mississippi State right now, just so you know. Vanetti: Well just so you know, 10 or 11 of the last 14 years that he’s coached at UofL, they’ve been top 10 in recruiting classes, so it’s not like it’s killing UofL. But, Calipari isn’t just crushing Louisville in recruiting, he’s crushing everybody. Jones: Then why did Rick whine? It was stupid. Vanetti: I don’t know why he brought up the shoe thing. I’m not going to sit here and pretend that I understand what’s going on with Nike and Adidas, or recruits and AAU teams. I’m not in that cesspool and I’m not going to dip my toe in it. You might know more about that, I do not. I think Rick sounded a little naïve when he was talking about it, I think that was his point but I don’t understand it. Jones: There are a lot of reasons that kids go to schools, some of it could be coaches, some of it could be the program, some of it could be girls they meet on campus. Could some of it be shoes? I think occasionally shoe companies may matter. Maybe they want to go to school where the coach is Nike, or the coach is Adidas. Maybe in Rick’s case they want to go to a school where the coach has hair plugs. But whatever it is, in the end they pick and you just deal with it. Rick Pitino is too old and too successful to be whining, and he just won a title two years ago. He should just shut his yapper and get ready to lose for the seventh time in eight games against Calipari. Vanetti: Either way, having Calipari or Rick in front of a microphone is radio gold for both of our shows, so I’ll take the 30 minute rant he had the other day and we’ll move forward. Jones: Do the ‘Cats beat LSU? Vanetti: I don’t think so. I think Les Miles is going to have something on you. It’s tough, you have to go on the road at LSU. If that game was at Commonwealth, I’d give you guys a puncher’s chance to run it in the fourth quarter and win. Ten point dog? I’d take Kentucky and the points. Jones: I would too, but I don’t think they win.

National Exclusive Foodie Club Meets

he Distinguished Restaurants of North America, known as DiRoNA, had their annual meeting in Louisville last week at the Brown Hotel. Connoisseurs of the good life gathered and talked food and wine. The non-profit prestigeous DiRoNA has local members such as Corbett’s, Equus, Vincenzo’s, The Oak Room at the Seelbach and Winston’s. These “crown jewels” of fine dining are judged anonymously for 67 categories including cuisine, presentation, attentiveness and cleanliness. They pay attention to even the fine points such as flowers, room temperature, coat room, temperature of food and other such niceties. Chef/owner Dean Corbett said his customers know that a DiRoNa membership is like a triple star rating, a “who’s who” in the restaurant business. They are so picky they take only the best restaurants in the country. It was once sponsored by the now defunct Holiday Magazine. He also said “It is a very unforgiving business. You are only as good as your last meal. Winston’s beloved chef John Castro said “These are places where people met to see and be seen.” Connoisseurs of the good life gathered in Louisville this week. They included brothers Vincenzo and Agostino Gabriele of Vincenzo’s on Fifth Street, downtown. They held conference meetings focused on drawing new fans, especially twenty-something “millennials.” At their conclave this year Hazel Sullivan of Sullivan University presided over the culmination of the week at an elegant dinner at the Brown Hotel where four additional Louisville restaurants were granted membership – Porcini, The English Grill at the Brown Hotel, Seviche and Varanese. Before dinner small, aperitif drinks were served. They are becoming fashionable again. They are more affordable than full-size cocktails and it is a way to try multiple cocktails while still being “in control.”

FESTIVAL OF FILM

Last week the sixth annual Louisville’s International Festival of Film (LIFF) added some life to the local film and arts community. LIFF had filmmakers and film lovers from around the world coming to Louisville. Opening Night was on Oct. 9 at Spalding University with red carpet arrivals! The film,“Druid Peak” written and directed by Marni Zelnick, stars Andrew Wilson, Spencer Treat Clark, who attended the red carpet opening, and Rachel Korine. Set against the backdrop of the wolf reintroduction program in Yellowstone National Park, “Druid Peak” is a coming of age story about a troubled teenage boy who finds a home tracking wolves in the wilds of Wyoming. Throughout the week, filmgoers were treated to over

150 films, screenings, plus educational workshops. Film screenings took place at various venues including The Galt House, Louisville Science Center, The Louisville Free Public Library, Spalding University and the Slugger Museum. Proceeds from LIFF help to expand educational and economic opportunities in Louisville and surrounding communities, including funding to assist film programs at local high schools. This year’s festival also introduced two new film scholarships. The Matt Berman scholarship, named for one of the festival directors and presented to aspiring filmmakers, will provide funding for film creation and production of the winning selection, and a LFAII scholarship that will send the winner on a trip to L.A. to get an up-close look at the film production process.

COLLECTING

The Headley-Whitney Museum has announced an exciting exhibit “Collecting Kentucky 1790-1860.” The exhibit is drawn from the book of the same name by Genevieve Baird Lacer & Libby Turner Howard that debuted last fall. “Collecting Kentucky” will highlight some of the unique objects in the book and bring them together for the first time from over 20 private and museum collections. The exhibit, like the book, will showcase antebellum Kentucky artifacts from some of the most inspired collections featuring furniture, silver, art, hand-stitched samplers, longrifles and stoneware. Throughout the exhibit there will be several opportunities to learn more about the fascinating decorative arts created right here in Kentucky. After reading the book I realized that several tables inherited from Central Kentucky were of the period and “special.” If your family has been here for several generations you probably have a “treasure” and don’t know it. The exhibit dates are Sept. 6 to Nov. 9. On Oct. 19 at 2 p.m., there will be a lecture on “Kentucky Longrifles and Powder Horns” by Mel Hankla. The cost is $10 for adults and $7 for seniors and students. The museum is open Wednesday thru Friday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., and Saturday and Sunday 12 to 5 p.m. with the last admission at 4 p.m. Admission for adults is $10, seniors & students are $7. It is located along the scenic corridor of Old Frankfort Pike in Lexington. Call the HeadlyWhitney Museum for details at 859.255.6653. In Louisville Steve Tipton Antiquarian and Trace Mayer Antiques at 3700 Lexington Road will have a Luxury Showcase featuring Clifton Nicholson limited edition and one of a kind jewelry and sculpture in gold and silver along with Cherry Valley Publications’ “Collecting Kentucky 1790 – 1860” on Saturday and Sunday, Oct. 18 & 19. There will be refreshments and door prizes and the book’s authors will be there in the afternoon for signing.

Spotlight

Louisville Orchestra: Music Without Borders

usic Without Borders is a group of single ticket concert events performed by the Louisville Orchestra and held at a variety of venues around the city of Louisville. The Voice-Tribune sat down with Louisville Orchestra’s Director of Marketing, Michelle Winters to hear more about the event.

WINTERS: People can expect a very welcoming and casual atmosphere. The concerts are about one-hour long and sometimes feature a soloist who is either a member of the orchestra or a local artist. There will be a mix of selections with performances including the full orchestra and smaller ensembles. The main program selection will be familiar works by classical composers including Mozart, Beethoven, Stravinsky and others. In most of the locations, seating is by general admission so it will be easy to sit with friends. (Seating at the Ogle Center, IUS, is reserved). We invite people to get tickets at the door, or in advance, for $20 each, but there is a discount for anyone buying 4 or more of the 14 events on this series.

Michelle Winters.

VOICE-TRIBUNE: What was the inspiration behind the series of events? MICHELLE WINTERS: At the heart of everything we do at the Louisville Orchestra, is our desire to share the joy of orchestral music with our community. Over the years, the Orchestra has performed in locations around the city and this is our effort to really expand that outreach with a plan to build deeper relationships within the neighborhoods. We’re not “just visiting” from our usual performance space downtown. This is just the start of our efforts to celebrate our neighborhoods and our community. V-T: What’s the reception been like, ever since the series of concerts was announced? WINTERS: The first indication that a regular series of neighborhood concerts was a welcomed idea was the enthusiastic response from LG&E to sign on as the lead sponsor. We are so grateful that they made this possible. Calling this the “LG&E’s Music Without Borders” Series, we sent announcements to everyone on our mailing list and got an immediate and heartwarming response. Ticket orders started coming in for all five locations and the support from each neighborhood partner has been exceptional. There are tickets still available at each location but we expect that several of the upcoming concerts will reach capacity. But more than that, we are humbled by the supportive and enthusiastic welcome that we are receiving from everyone involved. V-T: How important is it for people to become involved like this at a local level with the Louisville Orchestra?

V-T: This is also a great chance for people to meet with Teddy Abrams, correct? WINTERS: Yes, it certainly is. At our recent community concert at Iroquois Park, we had to search for Teddy [Abrams] after the concert and found him at the front gate shaking hands with everyone as they were leaving. He loves connecting with people and never misses an opportunity.

WINTERS: Listening to music is a very personal experience but enjoying live performances with family, friends and neighbors can be a remarkable community experience as well. I hope it doesn’t sound too lofty to say that our dream is that the Louisville Orchestra can create really joyful connections between people by providing these concerts and sharing this music. V-T: What can people expect at this concert series?

V-T: This seems to be a great way also for people to get classical music right on their doorstep too? WINTERS: More and more people are listening to classical music with easy access to iTunes, radio, music streaming and downloads. The difference a live performance makes to the enjoyment of any type of music is obvious. We hope that bringing live performances of classical music into our neighborhoods, more people will find the joy and emotional satisfaction that is unique to a concert. In short, we really just want everyone to have fun!

All Music Without Borders tickets are general admission and cost $20. To purchase tickets, you can visit www. louisvilleorchestra.org/music-without-borders-2/.

Roux

ON WHY LOUISVILLE IS NOW HIS HOME...

By IGOR GURYASHKIN Staff Writer

My brother and I used to often travel to Louisville for business starting in 2006. Everytime we came here I fell in love with it more and more. It’s just a place that is so conducive to good food, cost of living is better and I thought it was a great place to do what I eventually planned on doing, which was run restaurants.

ustin Staggers started his culinary career working out of a small sports bar close to his apartment in Tampa, Florida. Today, having made his name at Barrett Avenue’s outpost The Monkey Wrench – he recently opened his new venture Roux – a New Orleans flavored spot on Bardstown Road. The Voice-Tribune sat down with Staggers to hear what makes him tick and why he’s seemingly incapable of clocking off.

ON HOW HE RELATES TO OTHER CHEFS IN LOUISVILLE...

ON WHY NEW ORLEANS IS THE THEME OF HIS NEW VENTURE ROUX...

I love the culture, the vibe, the food, the people. It feels like a different country when you’re there. And there is a real void in this town, for both the music and the food. I’m from Tampa, and when I was young I started going there and fell in love with the city immediately. It’s on my list of places that I visit at least twice a year. The last couple of years I have not been going for just a few days, but rather renting a house and staying for two whole weeks at a time.

ON WHAT KIND OF FOOD GUESTS CAN EXPECT AT ROUX...

This is really the kind of food that I’ve always made for myself. Some chefs make Italian food when they’re at home, this is what I make. So when it’s raining and I’m at home, I would make crawfish stock for six hours because it’s fun and makes my house smell great. The more I travel back and forth from there, I just fall in love with it more and more. A lot of people assume that Creole or Cajun food is inherently spicy, and it’s really not. I had someone the other day say that the jambalaya was

not spicy enough. Well, we have two house hot sauces so if you want to make your food spicy, just tell me because I love it when people tell me they want their food spicy.

ON HOW HE WAS INTRODUCED TO WORKING WITH FOOD... It’s from being poor. I’m from Tampa originally and I moved out of my parents house when I was 15 for a variety of reasons and it was really out of necessity that I found myself working in restaurants serving tables. It just became one of those things, that as time progressed I was the person cooking for people. If we were tailgating, I was the person cooking, if there was a party I’d be the guy preparing the food. The atmosphere of restaurants is hard not to like. Later on I started cooking for private caterings in Tampa - I was cooking for attorneys and doctors.

Probably my favorite part of the business in this town is the fact that it’s not a competition amongst us [fellow chefs]. Most of the big name chefs in this town, we’re all friends and go drinking with each other. If I need something in the middle of service I have about 10 chefs who I can call and they will stop what they’re doing and help me out. It was a proud moment for me during Roux’s soft opening, knowing that I have become a part of that chef community, because so many of them had turned out.

ON PLANS FOR THE FUTURE...

We’re starting this thing called Culinary Armageddon. We started it on Facebook and it just blew up. Basically, we’re going to get all the chefs in town who want come together on the last Monday of every month and our vendors will bring us all the wildest stuff they have. There’ll hopefully be around 20 chefs in the kitchen, messing around. People will come and pay a flat fee. The first we’re doing is just for vendors, but I think it could catch on. If you know that all the chefs you love in the city are in one place at one time then people will hopefully love it.

RAQUEL LODEANE WOLTER Project Manager at Style Icon

By MIRANDA ROGERS MCDONALD TheChicStreet.com

WHAT IS YOUR FASHION VIEW?

To me, style should tell the story of who you are before you say anything at all. I believe first impressions can be lasting. Paying attention to detail, and recognizing how I want people to perceive me has helped create my style and fashion sense over time.

HOW DO YOU DESCRIBE YOUR STYLE?

Edgy, but polished. I like to mix bold pieces with feminine accents and accessories. Versatility is important to me.

WHAT ARE YOUR FAVORITE PIECES?

I’m all about my high-waisted pencil skirts. They’re flirty and feminine, but completely professional. However, my must-have piece for any look is a great shoe. I love how you can change what your outfit says by switching out a nude pump, for a dressy bootie.

IS THERE ANYTHING YOU ARE MOST EXCITED ABOUT WEARING THIS FALL?

You’ll see me in 3/4 length dresses and pencil skirts, and I really like the draped, oversized trousers trend for Fall 2014. I’m also into Merlot as a bold color for fall.

WHERE IS YOUR FAVORITE PLACE TO SHOP?

For work, the Dillard’s Antonio Melani line is my favorite. For one-of-a-kind pieces, I try to discover smaller, local boutiques. They have quality brands, and the ability to carry unique pieces, which is right up my ally.

WHO IS YOUR FASHION ICON?

Photo by CHRIS HUMPHREYS | The Voice-Tribune

Coco Chanel, not as a brand, but as a person. She was an independent woman who’s advice on style and fashion remains timeless. My favorite quote of hers is “Keep your heels, head, and standards high.”

CAN YOU TELL US WHAT WE CAN EXPECT FROM THE STYLE ICON FASHION EXPERIENCE THIS MONTH?

You can expect the latest in 2014 fall and holiday fashion, styled by Andre Wilson. This year we are incorporating some amazing giveaways, such as shoes, sunglasses, and certificates to local boutiques. We are focusing on creating an interactive experience for our guests, rather than just a show. We want the audience to be as involved as possible. The interactive experience we are providing should be as fun as it is surprising. For example, we are hosting live fashion photo shoots during the event. We are trying to engage our viewers before, during and after the show. The event is Oct. 23, downtown at The Gillespie. You can visit our Facebook page at facebook.com/StyleIconEvents or our website at styleiconllc.com.

IS THERE ANYTHING ELSE YOU WANT OUR READERS TO KNOW ABOUT YOU?

It may be a little unorthodox, but I was born and raised a die-hard Green Bay Packers fan. Having the opportunity to meet Aaron Rodgers and wear the Super Bowl ring at the 2014 Derby events were both highlights of my year. Nothing makes me happier than a football Sunday with my family!

Good Will Cougar Hunting Part 2: Platinum Personality Disorder

By R. CHASE Bachelor Behavior

was reading a book, in my underwear when my neighbor Sven called. “I need your help.” The urgency of his tone dragged me from my couch and forced me to put on pants. His dining room table was set elegantly, and there were signs of a romantic dinner in progress. “First,” he said, “try some of my Caesar dressing.” I sampled it, and indeed it was fabulous. He offered me a salad, so I pulled up a chair and started to eat. “What happened?” “I made dinner for Athena, we had a glass of wine, and then we made passionate love in the kitchen.” “Wait, THIS kitchen?” My salad suddenly lost all culinary appeal. “Then she went crazy.” This was no surprise. You see, the mating filtering system will naturally strain unsuitable partners from the mix, sifting them like little nuggets of crazy from silt in a miner’s pan. By the time a single woman approaches 50 the likelihood of permanent insanity exponentially increases. “She screamed at me and said she was ‘Platinum’ and that I was lucky to even be spending time with her.” He didn’t look very lucky. “I see, my good man,” I said, “it appears that you have stumbled across a case of ‘Platinum Personality Disorder’. And it’s not the first case I’ve come across this year! It’s an epidemic. You see, Sven, an aging woman, while still beautiful, can begin to become so paranoid about the ravishes of time that she begins to build a protective coating, much like the caterpillar in metamorphosis. But instead of a butterfly you just get a big, angry, crazy, moth.” Sven stared forlornly at the empty place settings. I continued. “The constant injection of new talent into the dating scene starts to wear down the ego until anxiety, fear, and desperation create extreme narcissism. Victims of this terrible affliction present their symptoms suddenly, with little warning, as they explode into fits of rage. It’s this random dementia that contributes to the progression of the disease. Eventually no man in his right mind will get within 300 feet of them, a fact that they will project outward, and hence assure themselves that the problem rest solely with the opposite sex. The mind of the Platinum Personality type has been so twisted by narcissism they can’t comprehend why you aren’t rolling out the red carpet and throwing flowers at their feet every time they walk in the door.” Sven scratched his chin and pondered this. “They have raised their standards to such a radical level that the notion of regular life, in which people work, get tired, and feel like watching basketball in their underwear, simply doesn’t exist. Were there warning signs?” “Well now that you mention it, she did own a busi-

ness called ‘Athena International’, which apparently has no defined product or service but was featured in multiple web sites and listings.” “Say no more! Most of your Platinum Personality Disorder types will have a pseudo career based upon public relations, because they enjoy being in the spotlight and working a party at a club in a sleazy outfit seems so much more dignified than tromping around in it for the desperate purpose of hunting young men for cheap sex. “She did do a lot of ‘networking’. “ “Of course she did! That’s their modus operandi. They couldn’t live without it.” “Is there any cure for this affliction?” he asked, pouring himself a glass of sangria. I helped myself to the rest of the pitcher. “Unfortunately, there’s no known treatment. There is some evidence of the progression being arrested in early cases, but once the Platinum Personality has become fully formed, it’s incurable.” His Blackberry buzzed on the table. It was Athena. Sven looked up to me with a question in his eyes, and I nodded. He went into the other room, and although I didn’t hear the exact words, I knew he was doing the right thing. I poured myself a stiff glass of Four Roses

from the bar. “Is it done?” He nodded grimly. I patted him on the back. “Thank you, Dr. Chase,” he said, “Help yourself to the bar! I’m going to go find a college girl who still has doubts about her self-image and call her fat.” “Good thinking! In fact I believe I’ll join you…” OK, well maybe it didn’t end quite like that. But Sven understood that Platinum Personality Disorder is the ugly by-product of Cougarhood gone terribly wrong. There’s always a dark underbelly to the aging process, for both men and women. Putting all your effort into appearance and none into substance is a losing strategy. We’re supposed to get wiser, smarter, and yes – less physical attractive as the aging process progesses. But it’s important to remember that only in the absence of all other redeeming qualities will you be judged on your appearance alone. And the fundamental Laws of Physics say that no matter how beautiful you are right this moment – it just ain’t gonna last. Ce’st la vie. "R.

Tastes Fall Cocktail Trends Worth Following There’s no right or wrong season for bourbon. Some people love to sip a glass on a cold winter night. Others like to share a bottle around a summer campfire. But autumn makes a pretty strong case for being one of the best seasons to enjoy America’s native spirit. There’s just something about the crisp edge in the air that calls for a sip of bourbon when the nights start getting cooler. It’s as natural as unpacking your boots and sweaters.

Angel’s Envy is a small, independent company that appreciates bourbon in all seasons, and they aren’t afraid to play with the conventions of bourbon tradition. When they decided to finish their bourbon in imported, ruby wine port casks, they weren’t breaking any bourbon laws, they were simply pushing the boundaries. As bourbon malcontents who are never satisfied with “good enough,” Angel’s Envy works with an amazing collection of bar-

tenders and industry professionals across the country to constantly keep improving. Through these partnerships, they’re exposed to a lot of trends and new approaches. While Angel’s Envy probably can’t tell you what boots and sweaters are going to be in style this fall, they can certainly fill you in on some of the best new spirit and cocktail trends to carry you through autumn and into the winter season.

Classics with a Twist Angel’s Envy has a deep appreciation for the classics, but as malcontents, they’re always ready to tinker with classic recipes and formulas. With craft cocktail culture exploding across the country, everyone is looking for new and exciting ways to expand on the cocktail tradition. The best part is, you don’t have to be a mixologist to explore the cocktail frontier at home. Check out this unique recipe from bartender and Angel’s Envy Whiskey Guardian Baker Hoffman that puts a unique spin on the classic Old Fashioned recipe.

BASIL FASHIONED

Ingredients: 2 oz. Angel’s Envy Port Finished Bourbon 1 oz. Cherry, Orange and Basil Simple Syrup* 2 Dashes Peychaud’s Bitters 1 Fresh basil leaf *Cherry, Orange and Basil Simple Syrup 1 cup water, 1 cup sugar, 2 quartered oranges, 1 cup Maraschino cherries, 6 oz. fresh basil

Instructions: For the syrup: bring the water, sugar, oranges and cherries to a boil. Once the boil happens, turn off the heat and add the basil. Let this sit for about a half hour and then strain. For the cocktail: put the ingredients into a tall glass filled with ice. Stir and let sit for a couple of minutes. Chill down a martini glass with ice or place in freezer. Strain into the glass, garnish with a fresh slapped basil leaf and enjoy.

Sweet is Neat, But Everyone Remembers Savory Sweetness is a big part of America’s palette. That’s not a judgment call—sweet things are delicious. But as people’s tastes refine, they tend to move away from the initial sweeter, entry-level attractions. Luckily, that’s where savory starts to come into play. In cocktails, not only does savory allow the bourbon to take center stage, but it’s also an interesting new flavor approach. For instance, take spicy. There are a handful of chili liqueurs, or any number of spicy oils, bitters or shrubs (cocktail flavorings) you can add to classic recipes, like the Manhattan or Old Fashioned, that bring some welcome heat to the increasingly chilly nights. And a few subtle spicy notes might bring out some unexpected flavors in the bourbon that might have been overpowered by sweeter ingredients. Try this recipe to turn your standard Manhattan into a spicy new experience.

BURNING MANHATTAN

Ingredients: 2 oz. Angel’s Envy Bourbon or Rye ½ oz. sweet vermouth Angostura bitters to taste (1 to 2 dashes) Jalapeno bitters to taste (1 to 3 dashes) Garnish: Maraschino cherry

Instructions: Pour all ingredients into a mixing glass filled with ice cubes. Stir well. Strain into a chilled cocktail glass. Garnish with a cherry.

Punch is Back The holidays are right around the corner. Chances are, you’re about to host or attend more parties than you do all year around. And when it’s your turn to host, sometimes the last place you want to be is stuck behind the bar mixing drinks all night. Which is why punches, historically, have always been a popular choice. While punches never “disappeared,” they’re finally back in a big way, and they’re a delicious option that can please every guest. When you’re planning a party, sometimes there’s nothing better than a simple recipe that you can make quickly, early in the evening, and forget about—especially if it delights your partygoers. And we’ve got an easy fall recipe that’s perfect for any gathering. While this is a sweeter option, it’s a guaranteed crowdpleaser, which is exactly perfect for a punch.

CIDER ENVY

Ingredients: 1 Bottle Angel’s Envy Port Finished Bourbon 12 oz. Apple cider 6 oz. Cinnamon syrup 6 oz. Lemon juice 24 Dashes of aromatic bitters Instructions: Combine all ingredients in a punch bowl over ice. Stir until well mixed and enjoy.

OUT & ABOUT

Something Out of Nothing

don’t remember what I was actually doing on the night of September 19, but I know what I should have been doing. I should have been at the launch of ReSurfaced because that’s where everybody who is anybody was— at least according to all of the Facebook, Twitter and Instagram posts I saw that night. As moms love pointing out, blah blah blah, some hypothetical question about what you’d do if all your friends were jumping off the Sherman Minton Bridge. Hype is often just that and nothing else, but it turns out all of my friends were totally right about ReSurfaced. ReSurfaced is a “pop-up plaza” erected in the vacant lot located behind the facades of 615-621 West Main Street in downtown Louisville, next to Museum Row. The plaza features makeshift bars made from shipping containers, picnic tables for hanging out, public art, food trucks and a stage for live performances. Organized by City Collaborative and a slew of sponsors, the idea behind it is to transform a space many would consider useless into something vibrant and exciting. As the ReSurfaced site explains, “The idea focuses on the city as the ultimate user interface, where the community can not only enjoy a unique event space, but experiment with the city and begin dialogue about how we can pre-vitalize the current location as well as the multitude of surface lots and underutilized spaces in Louisville.” The concept builds off the growing open-streets movement, which advocates using low-cost, high-reward events and projects to encourage a sense of community and promote things like alternative transportation, creativity and healthy lifestyles. CycLOUvia, which I wrote about in this column last month during their West Broadway event, is one open-streets project we’ve seen implemented here in Louisville. PARK(ing) Day is another. Held for almost a decade in cities across the globe, the event features citizens taking over a parking space - typically a metered spot on a city street - and transforming it into a micro-park or public space of some sort. ReSurfaced replaced PARK(ing) Day in Louisville this year, transforming the one-day event scattered across downtown into a month-long event concentrated in one dramatic space. What your experience is like at ReSurfaced will greatly depend on the time and day you attend. Rotating through the space has been a variety of local talent and awesome organizations. My most recent stop at the plaza was late afternoon on a Sunday during a Bicycling for Louisville benefit. At one of the tables, a few people were half-heartedly playing a game of chess, which should tell you something about just how laid-back and relaxed the atmosphere was. Naturally, if you stop by on a Friday or Saturday night when there are bands playing, the crowd is thicker, the drinks

flow more freely and the space feels like a bar patio or outdoor concert venue. Much of the credit for that goes to Roof Axis, a festival and event lighting company based here in Louisville. The dudes over there did an incredible job lighting the outdoor space with colors that highlight the beautiful brick façade and bring an energy to the space. Specific aesthetics aside, the best part about ReSurfaced is that it feels purposefully made for both the vibes I just mentioned and everything between them. In a world where people are increasingly trying to attach hyper-specific categories for their businesses and sense of style, it is refreshing to see a place so proudly defined as a mixed-use space for experimenting and being whatever the hell the city feels like it should be this week. This upcoming weekend will feature a benefit for the Kentucky Opera on Sunday and a lineup of musicians and DJs on Friday. The following weekend—it’s closing weekend—will feature a beer trivia night on Thursday with local author Kevin Gibson and a reading of “Macbeth” by Kentucky Shakespeare on Sunday. Pick your poison and check out this pop-up show before its bubble bursts on the 25th. Just remember to be aware of ReSurfaced’s staggered opening times. The space is fenced during off-hours, which means you can’t just swing by at noon on a Saturday. If you do attempt to swing by on off-hours, you will be met only with a cold, uncaring fence and the promise of fun on that unreachable other side. (I will admit I learned this the hard way.) Resurfaced will be open through Oct. 25. Open Thursday, 11 a.m – 10 p.m., Friday, 11 a.m. – 11 p.m., Saturday, 3 p.m. – 11 p.m., and Sunday, 1 p.m. – 8 p.m. For more information, visit citycollaborative.com/popupplaza.

BENNETT DUCKWORTH

Film Review

BENNETTDUCKWORTH.BLOGSPOT.COM

Fall/Winter 2014: Should We Be Excited?

ow that the mostly-unsuccessful summer lineup is finished and the compellingly sinister experience of David Fincher’s “Gone Girl” has just started the fall season with great success at the Box Office, I have to wonder what other movies will be worth our while in the months leading up to the closing of 2014. It is safe to assume that the new science fiction, “Interstellar” will be an amazing cinematic experience through visionary Christopher Nolan’s sincere lens. One has to wonder how the film’s terrifying theme of humanity facing realistic endangerment will work with audiences seeking sensationalism. I feel a strange combination of excitement and skepticism regarding “The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies” and “The Hunger Games: Mockingjay – Part 1.” Both feel like desirable returns to their fantasy worlds and both are needlessly augmented products of what I feel to be the least interesting stage of their respective stories. I simply hope that their filmmakers have found good ways to put a clever spin on their potentially trite experiences. I believe The Bible has so much movie-worthy drama that I’m surprised the Cecil B. DeMilles of today’s Hollywood don’t try to cash on it more. Sir Ridley Scott is quite adept in productions on a grand scale and I’m surprised that “Exodus” is his first Biblical outing. Though, he may be a little too traditional here. Those sure are a lot of white people playing Egyptians. In the area of non-fiction, there will be quite a few interesting selections. While the “The Theory of Everything”

has a chance of moving audiences through the telling of Stephen Hawking’s life story, I’m going to be very wary of this one. More often than not, biopics leave me wishing that I’d just watched a documentary instead. I believe that serious biopics about important people are challenging and I am turned off when the filmmakers simplify complex material with the glamor of attractive players while focusing on a romantic angle in order to pander to viewers. Let’s hope that’s not the case here. “The Imitation Game” is the second big-screen movie (to my knowledge) about the Enigma code breakers during World War II and looks to be a good vehicle for Benedict Cumberbatch in a leading role. Jean-Marc Vallée (“The Dallas Buyers Club”) will be bringing Cheryl Strayed’s memoir to the big screen in “Wild,” starring Reese Witherspoon about a woman whose life-crisis inspires a 1,100-mile hike along the Pacific Crest trail. “Foxcatcher,” Bennett Miller’s (“Moneyball” and “Capote”) award-winning film at Cannes, will find distribution this November. It stars Channing Tatum and Steve Carell - in unusual form. It’s based on the true story of an Olympic wrestler (Tatum) whose paranoid schizophrenic sponsor (Carell) brings about a terrible event in his life. In the area of dark fiction with a deep artistic drive, there is “Babel” director, Alejandro González Iñárritu’s “Birdman,” which takes place in a Times Square theater where we follow an actor trying to make a comeback, appropriately played by Michael Keaton (in what will appear to be only two long continuous takes), as his perception of reality breaks down.

There is also “Nightcrawler” – starring Jake Gyllenhaal about shady crime journalism and “Whiplash” – about an aspiring jazz drummer (Miles Teller) pushed to painful extremes by a psychotic teacher (J.K. Simmons). Let’s not forget about P.T. Anderson’s newest film, “Inherent Vice,” based on a Thomas Pynchon novel - with Joaquin Phoenix, Josh Brolin and an extensive all-star cast. The trailer makes the film look intolerably excessive. Still, it is P.T. Anderson. As far as family films for the holidays go, I’m thinking that the animated “Big Hero 6” may be delightful. For the new version of “Annie,” I’m sure that Quvenzhané Wallis is perfect casting, but I’ve never liked this musical. In the way of comedies, we’ve got plenty of sequels. “Horrible Bosses 2” and “Dumb and Dumber To” may have some faithful fans ready to throw away money on a movie ticket. Let’s get real. No matter how funny you thought the first one was or how long-awaited the sequel is, comedies rarely grow better when they become a franchise. Rarely! I will seek psychiatric help if “Night at the Museum: Secret of the Cash-in” is worth a damn to anyone this Christmas. As always, I’ll try and review every one of these films and stay sane in the process.
