PUB NOTE

From The Publisher...

e’re one more week closer to spring, and in an effort to push through hopefully the last of the cold fronts, we warm up with an issue filled with fine foods and drinks from across the Bluegrass State. Whether you enjoy a spicy, thick burgoo, or prefer the creamy richness of a Hot Brown, you can’t deny that a mint julep goes amazingly with both. Our own Igor Guryashkin takes us on a delectable tour of Kentucky culinary cuisine, looking not just at wonderful local products - like Benedictine and rolled oysters - but at the people and institutions behind them. This week’s profile introduces Bryan Taylor, a local family man, marathoner, and BB&T market president for Louisville and Southern Indiana. Taylor shares with us his own particular take on how to succeed in more than just business, and what the term “value” really means - at the office and in one’s personal life. If you’ve driven past Hound Dog Press and not gone in, consider it a missed opportunity. The press has become a local institution, with an international reach, as you’ll see in this week’s feature. Their products are inventive, gorgeous and add to the aesthetic richness of our city’s already well-established arts and culture scene. Business Profile takes a look at Louisville Originals, the homegrown program that rewards diners for feasting locally at participating restaurants like Lilly’s Bistro, Mayan Café, The Bristol, Sweet Surrender, Eiderdown and many more. Read about how they established just another way to keep Louisville weird, original and delicious. In sports, we speak with UofL basketball alum Billy Thompson, one of only four basketball players in history to win an NCAA men’s basketball championship back-to-back with an NBA championship. To give you an idea of the rarity of this feat, Magic Johnson is one of the others among that group of four. Thompson set record upon record during his time at UofL, and arriving to the program as the #1 ranked high school player in the nation, and now serves as team chaplain for the Miami Heat. Mike Rutherford brings us some much-needed perspective on this up and down Cards basketball season, reminding us that it wasn’t long ago that our expectations were more measured, and that the team has enjoyed unprecedented success in recent years. We bring you the city’s celebrations and philanthropic gatherings in our galleries, where Heartstrings Valentine Dinner and Dance got people’s hearts pounding at the Louisville Boat Club, all for the good causes backed by the Kentucky and Indiana Stroke Association. On an equally musical note, the Mayor’s monthly music P H OTO B Y C L AY C O O K

and art series got citizens stomping their feet to the rhythms of Lightning, a wonderful rock ‘n’ roll orchestra. Across our fine river Hoosiers and Louisvillians alike celebrated both the Culbertson Mansion Benevolence Award, and the birthday of William Culbertson, at the eponymous mansion. Actors Theatre celebrated their much-anticipated annual fundraiser, Lobster Feast with a Spirit of New Orleans theme, that had its celebrants shimmying and shaking in costume after a lobster buffet was enjoyed. We also bring you some fantastic images from this month’s First

Friday Trolley Hop, sponsored by Republic Bank. The Hop’s focus on art brings vibrancy and a sense of celebration to downtown, for natives and visitors alike. Enjoy,

entucky cuisine is comforting, substantive, and brings with it the weight of tradition. It won’t make you run like a Thoroughbred, but add some Henry Bain sauce, and throw in a mint julep or an Ale-8, and it will make watching the nags run even more enjoyable.

and meats happen to be on hand—formerly venison, squirrel, or opossum; currently pork, chicken or mutton—so too is it, traditionally, a communal meal, perfect for civic gatherings. And best served with a nice side of another Bluegrass standard, cornbread. Let’s not forget Kentucky country ham with its famous dry-rub curing, corn pudding, Benedictine, hickory smoked pork or mutton barbecue (rather than beef).

You can’t go too far into the state’s culinary heritage without encountering the keyword “fried.” Fried catfish. Fried chicken. Country fried steak. Hushpuppies (fried). But our gardens yield fresher morsels: green beans, okra, greens, tomatoes. Tomatoes for the Hot Brown being crafted by your grandmother, or down the road in the kitchen at The English Grill.

From Lawrenceburg (burgoo) to Berea (spoonbread), from Louisville (Benedictine, rolled oysters, and the Hot Brown) to Owensboro (Barbecue), from Corbin (fried chicken) to Prospect (Derby Pie), to parts unknown (the mint julep), whether you’re throwing together a picnic or sitting down to a four-diamond dinner, Kentucky culinary heritage can’t help but satisfy.

FRIED

Chicken Everyone has their favorite fried chicken. We don’t need to explain what this heavenly gift is and where it comes from, because we all know. Dark meat, white meat, drum stick, thigh, breast. We know our favorite go-to as well – KFC, Indi’s, Chicken King. Heck, you probably prefer your grandmother’s own recipe. Fried chicken is comforting, warm, crispy, delicious, sinful, and (for good reasons and bad) Kentucky through and through.

Ginger Bear Julep Down One Bourbon Bar

Mint J U L E P Other than horses, what do you think of when you think of the Kentucky Derby? The Mint Julep of course – the staple of Derby festivities and the quintessential Southern drink to get you good and tipsy on a balmy summer’s afternoon. While the origins of this sweet and boozy concoction might be shrouded in mystery with the first mention of a julep coming at the tail-end of the 18th century, and made with either gin, brandy or whiskey, today’s version is very much a bourbon drink. But need it be only a Derby drink? Not according to Beth Anne Burrows, assistant general manager at Down One Bourbon Bar.

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

“When you make something as delicious as this then you should drink it all the time.” In fact Burrows has her own take on the classic which she terms “The Ginger Bear Julep,” which consists of a blackberry shrub (blackberries, ginger) as well as a vinegar reduction, served with mint and a hint of ginger liqueur. As for the bourbon, she fancies a Henry McKenna single barrel 100 proof. So why not go out and enjoy this Kentucky classic all year around, rather than wait for the ponies to get to the starting gate, during the first week of May.

Henry Bain's Sauce A Ta s t e o f Kentucky

HENRY BAIN’S Famous Sauce

It took over 100 years for one of Louisville’s most recognizable flavors to hit the dinner tables outside of its origins at the historic Pendennis Club. Born in 1863, Henry Bain was one of the earliest employees of the club when it was situated above Ross’ Grocery Store, on the present site of the Seelbach Hotel, where he worked as an elevator boy. By the 1880s he’d become the club’s maitre’d, and an integral part of the club where the city’s “Society” gathered. It was also around this time that he developed the sauce that would bear his name to accompany the steaks served on the premises and

with game animals. Little else is known about the man described by Kentucky tycoon Barry Bingham Sr., who met Bain as a child and described his “perfect manners, and remarkable memory for names.” So while we know relatively little about Henry Bain himself, we know one thing for sure – that his sauce containing: sugar, vinegar, mango, spices, raisins, onion, garlic, Worcestershire sauce and a plethora of other ingredients is pretty darn delicious and works when lathered on almost anything.

BURGOO

Today, burgoo is also a civic dish, with fundraisers often being the place where people bring their selected ingredient to contribute to the recipe. It’s a dish for which too many cooks definitely don’t spoil the broth. Wherever you go in Kentucky, you will find a regional take on this bluegrass classic. “It’s just a good hearty soup,” adds Egger. “Especially because all of our meat is smoked in-house.”

“Burgoo has a lot of spices, and a lot of meat,” explains Ethan Egger chef at Frankfort Avenue Beer Depot. “We use chicken, we use pork and brisket too in there.” Gone are the days of making burgoo with opossums, squirrels and whatever else with a heartbeat you could get your hands on. Now mutton, beef and chicken are the order of the day, as well as an abundance of spices and go to any local barbecue joint and you’ll see a different take on the stew-y classic.

BOURBON

Barrel Foods In 2006 Matt Jamie started Bourbon Barrel Foods because he realized that there was a glaring opportunity for using the world-class ingredients that Kentucky had to offer to create something unique and wonderful. The result was Bluegrass Soy Sauce – made with homegrown non-GMO soybeans, soft red winter wheat, and using limestone filtered Kentucky water –just as bourbon is. Aged for a year in repurposed bourbon barrels Jamie and his team created a smoky sauce perfect with any dish with all the added subtlety and sweetness of Kentucky bourbon itself.

Bourbon Balls Cellar Door Chocolates

BOURBON Balls

Bourbon balls are unique to Kentucky. While similar to truffles, it’s the cream rather than the chocolate center that makes them unique - that and the bourbon that gives them their unique taste. While similar desserts may have existed in the past, the story goes that Ruth Booe of Frankfort, Ky., invented the chocolates in 1938 having spent two years perfecting the recipe in her shop Rebecca Ruth Candy.

So where can you get the best bourbon balls in Louisville? Well, why not head down to Cellar Door Chocolates where owner Erika Chavez-Graziano has her own take on the Kentucky classic with an even creamier center and a multitude of flavors. “We actually call ours buttercreams,” she explains. “They’re so good because they’re so creamy and there’s no solid center, perfect for pairing with bourbon.”

Today, the Benedictine spread is a favorite amongst anyone who craves a rich, creamy and cool addition to their sandwiches or recipes. One fine example is the “Queen Anne” sandwich at The Cafe. “It’s made with homemade Benedictine spread, fresh cucumber slices, lettuce and bacon, served on artisan walnut wheat bread,” explains Sal Rubino, owner of The Cafe.

Everyone loves cucumbers right? Yep. Cream cheese? Sure thing. So when you combine the two you get Benedictine spread, another classic Southern culinary gem invented right here on our doorstep. The brainchild of Jennie Benedict, a local restaurateur and businesswoman, the Benedictine sandwich was invented while Benedict built a career as the editor of the Courier-Journal’s household department, as well as running her restaurant “Bene-

HOT BROWN Created in 1926 by Frederick Schmidt, chef at The Brown Hotel the Hot Brown is the king of iconic Louisville and, arguably, of iconic Kentucky food. Sure, fried chicken is a close second, but that can be found in a lot of places. But the Hot Brown? Where is better than the place of its origin, the place where dancers in the 1920s would shimmy and shake all night in the hotel’s Bluegrass Room, wanting something quick and easy to eat at the end of the night. The Hot Brown is a devilishly simple creation – an open face turkey breast sandwich, served with bacon, tomatoes, topped with elegant Mornay sauce and garnished with parsley. Best of

all, the recipe has never changed: Turkey breast, oven-roasted for 45 hours, cut, portioned and made into the delicious dish we all know and love. According to Kelsey Long, purchasing manager at The Brown Hotel, and formerly the chef of J Grahams Cafe and Banquet, it’s undoubtedly the favorite item at the hotel, and when they add up the numbers at the end of the year they’re said to be staggering. So what’s the key to the dish’s success? “The key is the Mornay [sauce],” explains Long. “It’s creamy, delicious and there is that slight hint of nutmeg that ties it all together.”

OYSTERS Back in 1884, five brothers moved to Louisville from Genoa, Italy. They were the Mazzoni brothers, and together they set up taverns in various spots around town. One thing that united them was rolled oysters – a dish that brother Philip served to drinkers in his tavern on the corner of Third and Market with every beverage. When Prohibition was passed in 1919, Mazzoni’s Cafe remained open as a restaurant and carried on serving the dish for the next 125 years until it closed in 2008. Two or three raw oysters rolled in batter and bread crumbs to create a ball of salty, gooey splendor, now available in virtually any fish fry in the city. Be sure to go get your hands on one ASAP.

If the Mint Julep is the iconic Derby drink then the Derby Pie is the dessert equivalent. Invented by the Kern family, owners of the Melrose Inn in Prospect, Ky., in 1950. The pie consists of walnuts, chocolate, bourbon (of course) and is awesome. After all, when you combine those ingredients, how could it not be? Today, Kern’s Kitchen is the only place to get the authentic recipe for Derby Pie as it was intended over half a century ago.

PROFILE

working hard at Home and at the Office

f you can relate to juggling the responsibilities of career and family, you can relate to Bryan Taylor. And you know the necessity of organization and self-discipline.

Business Profile WES

participated in BB&T’s leadership development program. In 2005, he became a commercial banker for BB&T in Lexington. In 2011, BB&T made him its corporate banker in Louisville. And in March 2014, he was promoted to market president. He’s now responsible for all aspects of BB&T’s financial performance in Louisville and Southern Indiana.

Those two characteristics KERRICK define Taylor, BB&T market president for Louisville and Southern “I’m very happy with where my career Indiana. has taken me,” he says. His wife, Amanda Taylor, is a physician’s assistant at Children's Orthopaedics of Louisville. They have a 3-year-old daughter, and a 1-year-old son.

“It’s fun,” Bryan says of parenting. “We kind of have a schedule – who takes them, who picks them up. We actually sat down and did a spreadsheet.” Impressively, Bryan and Amanda both find time to train for marathons. They ran their first in 2007. Since then, they’ve each completed 10 more. “When you train for a marathon, you’re organized, and you’re sticking to a plan,” Bryan Taylor says. “And hopefully through that plan, and that discipline, that leads to the success of completion. And so, I think in business, it can be the same way.”

Taylor doesn’t rattle off a litany of achievements to explain how he skyrocketed through the company. He just says he “was fortunate enough to have some successes along the way.” But when Taylor explains his approach to interacting with clients, you can see why he’s caught the bank’s attention. Taylor sees every interaction as an opportunity to bring to bear a wider solution than what the client is seeking – to make the client better. “If you’re just focusing on the transaction – the loan, the deposit – you’re being more of an order-taker,” he says. But Taylor stays a step ahead, anticipating clients’ needs better than they do.

Taylor rose to his position at BB&T in just 12 years, after earning his bachelor’s degree in finance at UK in 2002.

“If you’re relevant, and you’re adding value, then you have the opportunity to build stronger relationships,” he says.

After graduating, he was working at a Lexington golf course when a member of the country club offered him a job as an assistant to some of BB&T’s lenders.

“I think it’s a differentiating factor, when you’re really helping position people for what the future is, and not just reacting when they make a phone call.”

After 14 months in the position, he

Taylor interacts in the same way with

P H O T O B Y C H R I S H U M P H R E Y S | T H E V O I C E -T R I B U N E

the BB&T employees who report to him. “Are we just focused on the numbers – what have you done, what have you closed – or are we working with them to add value?” As Internet banking changes the way banks do business, Taylor is confident the need to build positive, lasting relationships isn’t going away. So he works constantly to earn clients’ respect and trust. “A lot of my work ethic really came from my grandfather,” Taylor says. “When I was maybe 11 or 12 years old, I started helping him cut grass. My grandfather had a fourth grade education, but had worked hard his entire life.” “So it was always just ingrained in me to work.” As a marathoner, Taylor knows what it’s like to cross a finish line that seems unattainable. Getting to your dream requires getting out of your comfort zone, and the same holds true in business. For Taylor, the best part of banking is helping clients reach levels of financial security that they wouldn’t have thought possible. “We can all add value to one another,” he says. “In whatever line of business, it takes us stepping back from whatever we’re working on in our silo.” As hard as Taylor works to develop his clients and associates, it’s his family that means the most. Amanda’s career is demanding, too. And without extended family in Louisville, transporting kids to and from daycare, and caring for them when they get sick takes ingenuity. “That’s my biggest challenge every week,” Taylor says. VT

An Original Opportunity to Eat

By Remy Sisk, Contributing Writer

t certain restaurants around town, there is a logo displayed that you may be familiar with. Clean and inviting, the insignia is a fork with a fleur-de-lis overlay bearing the inscription Louisville Originals. Although it may seem just a certification of sorts, Louisville Originals is much more than that for diners and restaurant owners alike. Louisville Originals is a rewards program for dining at participating local restaurants. For every dollar one spends at one of the restaurants, one point is earned. After accumulating 150 points, diners earn $10 in rewards to be used at any Louisville Originals restaurant. The rewards card program requires $0 out of pocket for restaurant owners, and is completely free to diners. In addition to rewards, Louisville Originals also offers gift cards, available at Rainbow Blossom and ValuMarket, that can be used at any participating restaurant. Jessica Haskell, owner of Sweet Surrender Dessert Café and board member for Louisville Originals, enjoys the teamwork aspect of the program. “We can all work together to build business and reward customers for coming to our restaurants,” she says proudly. Haskell also appreciates the marketing opportunities that are inherent with the card. “Louisville Originals has brought us a lot of new customers, and a lot of those new customers have turned into very loyal customers,” she reveals. “And we actually have a lot of customers that only eat at Louisville Originals restaurants.”

Without question, once a diner has a membership card, dining at establishments that accept the card is certainly more enticing, which has led to a discernible increase in business for Louisville Originals restaurants after joining the program. Ann Shadle, general manager of Mayan Café and Louisville Originals board member, confirms a boost in business and touts the program’s opportunity for networking as a major benefit. “[Louisville Originals] gives me a channel to stay in contact with my regulars,” she claims, which has allowed her to become more engaged with them and consequently increase business. “I can send out a newsletter that I’m having a wine dinner, and within 24 to 48 hours, I fill up half of dinner,” she asserts. While not just any restaurant can join Louisville Originals, Haskell and Shadle are equally hopeful for the program’s growth. To join Louisville Originals, restaurants must be primarily table service, must be independently owned and operated with no more than six locations, must have been open for one year and must be located within twenty-five miles of downtown Louisville. But once those pieces are in place, there simply is no better way to encourage regular customers and capitalize on local marketing opportunities. Due to the unparalleled benefits for diners and the incomparable advertising abilities for owners, Shadle takes a great deal of pride in the program and encourages its use throughout the community. “If more people knew what the benefits were, and how accessible it is, everyone would sign up for it. It’s a real no-brainer from all sides of the equation.” VT The Louisville Originals rewards card is available at any participating restaurant.

Louisville Startup Sells Half a Million Candles in First Year From zero to half a million. That’s what happened to a Louisville based startup company, Jewelry in Candles. In less than 18

months, hiding jewelry in candles has become the hottest new idea in gift giving. What started out as simple two-man operation in a Kentuckiana garage quickly skyrocketed into a craze that has drawn attention from national media, jewelry companies, and imitators. On any given day, Louisville based Jewelry in Candles ships out thousands of candles to consumers all over the world. In a year’s time, Jewelry in Candles has become one of the top candle companies in the world with over 50,000 independent reps. They were voted the number one home party company in the U.S.A. and number 3 in the world in 2014. With the hidden piece of jewelry, Jewelry in Candles has become synonymous with the gift that keeps on giving. The Louisville native CEO, Micah Buse, boasts “It’s not how you live your day, it’s how you light your night.” The candle that “Jewelry in Candles” developed is a natural 100% soy candle that’s healthy, eco-friendly, non-toxic… but more importantly melts down to reveal a high quality piece of jewelry. With Valentine’s Day around the corner, Jewelry in Candles created a limited edition candle. The company likes to hide bonus prizes in their candles and this Valentine’s Day candle will not be any different. So in addition to one’s choice of men’s or women’s jewelry, 81% of these candles will include spa massages, chocolates, roses or exotic flowers hidden inside. One candle will also hold a $10,000 engagement ring. The first 2,000 Valentine’s Day candles sold out in less than 24 hours.

Card Chronicle

SPORTS

ACC Road a Long, Winding One

e are now more than halfway through Louisville's debut season in the ACC, and the opening five weeks have provided Cardinal fans with plenty to marinate on when it comes to things both on and off the court.

MIKE RUTHERFORD @cardchronicle

On the court, the Cards have graded out of the first "showcase portion" of their league schedule with mixed results. A loss to Duke, a loss to Virginia, and a split with North Carolina is nothing to be ashamed of, but it's also not cause for celebration when the team going 1-3 is one with legitimate Final Four aspirations, and one of the six teams in the country that has spent all 14 weeks of the season ranked in the top 10. With a rematch against the Cavaliers and a home showdown against No. 10 Notre Dame both reserved for March, UofL's mission for the rest of February is about to swiftly change courses. A six-game stretch against the middle and bottom chunk of a top-heavy league isn't a particularly alluring call to arms, but Rick Pitino's players have to be mature enough to understand how crucial a time this is. Being 1-4 against teams currently ranked in the top 20 is a stigma Louisville won't be able to shake until the Fighting Irish visit the YUM! Center on March 4, but it's also a fact F E B R U A R Y 1 2 , 2 0 1 5 â&#x20AC;˘ W W W . V O I C E -T R I B U N E . C O M

that leaves UofL with little margin for error. These games aren't quite lose-lose situations, for the Cards, but they're close. Lose and your NCAA Tournament profile takes a decent hit. Win them all, and people still bring up the fact that you haven't beaten enough quality opponents. It's a major test of maturity and focus that will benefit the group greatly in the long run... if it's approached correctly.

This is also the time of the year where Pitino likes to finalize his rotations and gain a complete sense of which mixture of players will give his team the best possible chance at making a deep run in March. It's an annual tradition that's also a little bit different this season, as UofL's bench is statistically contributing less than any group of Cardinal reserves in the Pitino era. If two or three guys outside of Louisville's "Core 4" are going to be able to aid this team significantly, these next three weeks are when they're going to have to prove it. Off the court, I think Cardinal fans need to take a second to appreciate how spoiled they've been over the past three seasons, and how much they have to love about the current one. Three straight 30 win seasons, a pair of trips to the Final Four, and one national championship have left UofL fans expecting nothing but the absolute best. While that's an overwhelmingly positive thing for a program to have, it's

also a phenomenon that has left some describing a season where the Cards haven't lost to a team outside the top 12, and haven't spent a day ranked outside the top 10, as something of a disappointment. Whether the late '80s through the early 2000s was a letdown period for you, or the genesis of your fandom, Louisville basketball should have made you a more appreciative person by this point, because things weren't always this good. We're not especially far removed from a time when the Final Four was an unworkable daydream for a hoard of Cardinal fans approaching their 20s, because they'd never experienced one. This team isn't perfect, but nothing we love ever is. Human beings are prone to convincing themselves that they're working towards this imaginary period where everything's going to calm down, everything's going to be settled, and everything's going to be perfect. This time never comes. We are all constantly losing people we love, pets we love, things we love, and periods of time we love. If nothing else, Louisville basketball is a healthy relationship for people with an "unhealthy" basketball obsession, simply because it exists as a constant. We don't know how good or successful the Cards are going to be when all is said and done, but we know they're going to keep taking the court, and keep giving us something to talk about, and look forward to, from now through March. That alone is something worth loving this Valentine's Day. VT

He often did it while sharing the floor with Tyler Ulis, as the two point guards combined to play 32 minutes after halftime.

On Saturday Bayern was nursing an injury, and the Derby winner and Shared Belief were 1-2 at the head of the stretch. The latter launched a sparkling rally under Mike Smith and shot past the champion to win, providing immense satisfaction for Shared Belief fans who felt their hero had been robbed of any opportunity to keep his record perfect by the Classic’s pinball machine start.

tial to improve on that description. Trainer Bob Baffert’s unbeaten Dortmund rallied to edge out emerging rival Firing Line in Santa Anita’s Lewis. The margin was a head, a margin identical to the duo’s 1-2 finish in December’s Grade I Los Alamitos Derby. Their two races have been run very differently, but in each Dortmund and Firing Line proved that they love a good fight. Dortmund, a son of 2008 Kentucky Derby winner Big Brown, rallied late at Los Alamitos to catch Firing Line at the wire. But on Saturday it was Dortmund who led into the far turn of the mile and a sixteenth race, and watched Firing Line rush past under Hall of Famer Gary Stevens to open a clear lead. Baffert’s colt battled back along the rail under Martin Garcia, and grittily reclaimed the lead and the win. It was 16 lengths back to the third-place finisher, usually a pretty good sign for the top two. New York’s Withers introduced a new Derby player for the power-packed Pletcher stable when unbeaten Far From Over overcame a horrible start and passed Kentucky Jockey Club winner El Kabeir with relative ease to win the one-mile prep. It was an eye-catching effort by the son of 2010 Breeders’ Cup Classic winner Blame, but the pre-Derby tests on the New York route will get tougher from here. The result was a happy one for Pletcher, the trainer of six 3-year-olds featured in last weekend’s second pool of Churchill Downs’ Kentucky Derby Future Wager. None was named Far From Over. VT

A Star’s Life Renewed

Billy Thompson is the only player in University of Louisville basketball history to score 1600 points (1685), pull down 900 rebounds (928) and dish out 400 assists (459). He arrived on the UofL campus in 1982 as the No.1 ranked high school player in the nation, the second of the three man Camden Connection, along with Milt Wagner and Kevin Walls. Thompson finished his four year career by helping lead the Cards to the 1986 NCAA Championship. After a pro career in the NBA and in Europe, he is currently the Pastor at Jesus People Proclaim International Church in Boca Raton, Florida. His congregation is growing and will soon be looking for a new home. For more information, or to help out with the cause go to their website at www.jpproclaim.org. How long has the church been here and how did it come about?

knew that the Lord was showing me, ‘these guys look up to you and here you are, your death is really going to affect them.’ So, I got right on my knees and I asked the Lord to forgive me. I recommitted my life; that’s what we call it. That was the summer of '85.

We've been here 13 years. When I recommitted my life at Louisville, I knew I would go into full-time ministry. While I was playing ball overTaylor’s 10 seas, I came back and I was at prayer meeting at my church in Miami, and KENT Any strays from that? my pastor told me to come to the TAYLOR office and call my wife, so that we Yeah, I had to repent a couple of WAVE3 Sports could have a meeting. He said, listimes in my life, several times after ten, "God put in my heart to start a that, going on and doing things. church, how does it sound if I sent you to Boca That's the thing, Christian life, being in basketRaton?" My wife and I, we looked at each other ball, going into the pro's, or just a regular perand we didn't say anything because a week and son, business person, temptation is always there half before that meeting, we were in Boca, at and sometimes you give into it. Thank another church. We had gone on a mission trip God that God is not judging you with them. We went on a trip to the Bahamas, right there. You can just still ask and when we were driving home, my wife and God to forgive you and stay I said, we could live in Boca and go to church away from those things that down in Miami, it would be great. My pastor he called sin. didn't know that we were just in Boca, but God knew, and God knew he wanted us to be here. You commit yourself When you start a church, how many people are there for the first service? We started at F.A.U., Florida Atlantic University, and were there for about a year and a half. When we started we had about 20 people that attended consistently, and now we have about 580 members. What brought about your recommitment to God? I was out partying, got in late that night, 2 a.m. I heard a voice that said, ‘Listen, if you keep this up, you're going to die,’ cause I was partying, and doing drugs for about four months. I was sitting on the bed, and I thought, where is this voice coming from? Then I saw a vision of me dying, and the ambulance guys coming to pick me up, all the classmates looking on, and they just put me in the ambulance and drove off campus. The next thing I saw in the vision were headlines like "UofL top player dies," "NCAA top player dies" and then I saw, “of drug overdose.” Then I had a picture of my two younger brothers, and when I saw them, I

to God and then your senior year, you had a great season, and win a National Championship. How much did that help you stay on that track?

I think about that a lot because I was on the U.S. team for the World Games that went over to Kobe, Japan, that summer. Right after that I was a part of the U.S. team, and we almost beat Russia. We played for the championship, I had 25 points in that game, and we should have had it. They hit a last second shot to beat us for the gold. While I was there, I was telling everybody that we were going to win the National Championship. I got my head on right. I was saved, I was clean. What you went through, the next June Len Bias actually died in a similar scenario to what you had envisioned. How shocking was that? I was still at Louisville, and I was crying. I cried because I knew what happened to me. I

was out partying like he was, and it could have been me. I knew him personally. We roomed together at the Derby Classic. It could have been me; it wasn't, so let me do right. When you think back on the '86 run, what are the first things that come to your mind? For me, the North Carolina State game, and how we knew we were better than that. At Camden High School, we knew we were better than most of the teams in the country, before we went on the court. When you have that in you, it's hard when you're losing. It makes you focus, so we focused and we just started winning. We got to the tournament and I think there were a lot of people putting us down, doubting us, like, ‘they're not picked to really win, it all.’ We had a little bit of that pushing us. What do you remember about that Championship game, beating Duke 72-69? Duke was great, but the North Carolina game in the Sweet 16... I do love Dean Smith, great coach, but he came to visit my house and after the visit, he was like, you'd be good for our team, but if you don't want to come, it's cool, and kind of like, ‘we've got a lot of good players already.’ I was a little bothered by that. So, when we played North Carolina, I told my Mom that morning, I said, “Mom, I got this game.“ Can you believe it's been almost 30 years? Do I look that old or is it just my hair? Are you still a chaplain for the Miami Heat? We have three. An hour before every home game, one of us goes an hour before, and speaks for about 20 minutes. We're in the room and we're just praying with the guys, teaching them the Bible. VT W W W . V O I C E -T R I B U N E . C O M •

A Local Legacy

n Kentucky basketball, Ballard High School has been one of the premier powerhouses to represent the city of Louisville in the state. Boys Varsity Coach Chris Renner is in his 17th season coaching the Bruins, and success does not begin to describe his tenure and the achievements of the team.

dition, [through] their hard work, effort, and motivation to be a great basketball team.”

Since 1998, Renner has had a winning record every season. Basketball critics would say he coaches one of the best, if not the best, High School team in the state of Kentucky. ParSports Report ticularly in the city of Louisville, Ballard has developed a basketball RANDY program to where it doesn’t really WHETSTONE JR. matter what high school you have come from or go to; if you’re a basketball fan, Ballard has always been a must-see team. Renner expressed how it felt The Ballard Bruins have had 14 District to coach one of the most dominant teams in titles, six Regional titles, has been State Runthe state. ner-ups four times, and were crowned State Champion in 1999, when they defeated Scott County. In 20 years of coaching, Renner himself has 515 wins as a boys coach, and 33 wins as a girl’s coach, and stands as the all-time leader in wins at Ballard. He is tied for fifth with the most victories in state tournament history, and tied for first with the most state finals appearances. The Bruins are off to another incredible start to the season, and currently ranked number two in the state of Kentucky according to MaxPreps. The team has not lost a game since Dec. 19, 2014. One would venture to say Ballard creates a new recipe for success every season. Many basketball greats have come from this school. When asked about what’s so special about this particular team, Renner said, “The basketball here at Ballard was established with a lot of the early pioneers, guys like Jeff Lamp, Jerry Eaves, and coach Richard Schmidt. It has allowed the tradition here to be established like [the University of] Louisville or the University of Kentucky. This group of basketball players has continued to carry out that kind of traF E B R U A R Y 1 2 , 2 0 1 5 • W W W . V O I C E -T R I B U N E . C O M

“It’s a tremendous honor. It’s one of those things, I think sometimes people think you just have talent and that’s how it gets done. Part of the recipe is talent. Just like chocolate chip cookies, part of the recipe is chocolate chips, but that’s not the only piece of the recipe that makes a chocolate chip cookie good. In terms of basketball, you have to have a lot of other factors. Our kids play our system really well. They work hard within our system, and yes we do have talent; but the talent develops, year in and year out, because they are going against equally good players.”

Coach Renner impacts the lives not only of his players, but other Ballard students as well. He mentioned that students who have graduated from Ballard have cherished memories from high school based on those exhilarating moments and experiences of watching the basketball team. Although only fifteen players participate in a state championship, thousands have been impacted by the program’s greatness. Renner has solidified his legacy at Ballard High. Though, striving to make a legacy is not

his chief priority. “I’m not really interested in leaving a legacy here. What I am interested in doing is giving the players at Ballard High School a great experience. That experience is magnified when you go to the state tournament.” In recent years, Coach Renner has said to his players, of the state championship, “Yes you’re going for the memories. But you want to go to the state tournament also for your family, your friends, and the students in the school. I was blessed my first year here winning the state championship, and that was a great experience.” Coach Renner has learned to make the most of investing in kids. Outside of his players and students at Ballard, he and his wife Jill had the gracious opportunity to adopt a young Ethiopian boy. “My wife and I, we had a goal to adopt, and kind of put it off to the side. For a lot of various reasons we waited, and finally we realized we were being disobedient to what God was asking us to do. We decided we needed to obey. We started the adoption process; amazingly we thought it was going to take a little longer. New Year’s Eve, we get word that we have an eight year old son in Ethiopia, and if we want to accept him. We felt that was God’s call, so we’re excited about that chapter in our life.” Senior Co-captain Corey Douglas had the chance to assist Coach Renner and his family in the improvements and repairs to the home of Ms. Marj, the widowed mother of Renner’s newly-adopted son. Asked his thoughts on impacting the lives of others with his coach, Douglas said, “With him adopting a son from Ethiopia, I felt like that’s just a great thing. He’s a great leader and role model.” Chris Renner is surely someone who has displayed greatness on and off the court. VT

DuPont Manual squeaked past dogged visitors Waggener last Friday, with a 69-62 win. The win saw Manual extend their season record to 20-4, while maintaining their undefeated record at home (8-0). For Waggener, this was their 10th defeat of the season (16-10), with an away record of 4-7. A shot by Dwayne Sutton was challenged by Jaalam Hill.

William West focused on the rim as he raced ahead of the Waggener defense.

Louisville Now Second Chance U?

TONY VANETTI: National Signing Day came and went, and even though it looked like it was going to be a pretty bad day for y’all, Stoops pulled out a pretty good class. Louisville did the same. Of course the misstep with the gray shirt kid added to the excitement for the week.

MATT JONES: It’s odd because the fan base seemed to have almost no expectation. Two weeks out Kentucky looked like it was going to get the 25th ranked class and Louisville the 45th ranked class. Then in the last few weeks Kentucky’s class got worse, and Louisville’s better, and they essentially have the same class. There were fans who were happy, and those who were upset and it just goes to show you how much life is based on your expectations. People have a different view of the classes, simply because of how they thought it was going to be before. VANETTI: Well there is no doubt. I am as good a husband as my wife expects me to be. The problem with your analogy, and also why it’s right on, is because in the ACC that class is going to perform better than your comparable class is going to perform in the SEC. JONES: That’s true, but I could also look at it and say that you’re coming off a 9-3 season and Kentucky is coming off two straight 2-win seasons and a 5-win season, so it’s kind of amazing that anybody wants to go there. But let me ask you this. Were you surprised how big the “Bobby Petrino Pulls A Scholarship” story got? I’m a big major league Bobby Petrino disliker, but I was a little surprised at how huge that story got. VANETTI: I was shocked at the outcry over F E B R U A R Y 1 2 , 2 0 1 5 • W W W . V O I C E -T R I B U N E . C O M

the gray-shirt story. I’m totally with everyone, it was bad timing, it was a misstep by the administration, but I was shocked that every single news outlet in America took a shot at Bobby and UofL over a grayshirt situation. It did not help that the high school coach for this kid came out swinging at the coaching staff.

likes Bobby outside of Louisville? He has no defenders, which is amazing. Have you seen anybody outside of the Louisville home media defend him even a little bit?

VANETTI: No, because it’s so compet-

itive right now. When you’re signing players it’s pretty competitive. But you don’t see a lot of coaches or former players going out against him. Former coaches like coaching with him. He’s an old school football type guy.

JONES: It hasn’t #OVERBLOWN? stopped. Today it was on the front page of CNN.com and it has now transcended the realm of sports to news. Here’s what JONES: Well, this is a good I think though.

Because he had a trade (he was a carpenter), he was not hanged. Instead he was sent to the penal colony that is now Australia. The next day we docked and went downtown to the popular “Rocks” area, which is full of two and three story early Victorian buildings that have shops full of all sorts of things you need, such as handmade, native aboriginal didgeridoos (six foot long musical horns) and t-shirts. That evening a private launch pulled alongside the ship and the World Cruise passengers transferred to it. We headed across the bay to the iconic Sydney Opera House and docked at the “back door.” We were escorted to a water-level, roofed terrace where we had cocktails, followed by a splendid dinner and entertainment by six aborigines in full white make-up and costumes. They told us stories of their history, danced and sang.

The next day, a lecture on pink diamonds was canceled because of rough seas. Fortunately we are rarely bothered by this. We had breakfast and relaxed, reading and playing cards all afternoon. Having visited Melbourne before, we had become fascinated by, but had not visited, their huge “Shrine of Remembrance” war memorial. This time we went to visit. It sits atop a manmade hill on a full city block, in town. We traveled there from the ship, via Melbourne’s wonderful tram system.

those who remained at home. The shrine also places a priority on education and the interpretation of stories of Victorians at war and in peace. During the war the soldiers themselves had identified with the ancient Greeks. Eight years later, in 1924, the architect Phillip Hudson looked to ancient Greek monuments to evoke classical virtues in his design for the shrine on a site he believed was similar to the Athenian Acropolis. The stairway, which leads to the shrine, is flanked by balustrades on which stand great stone urns. Each balustrade bears a stone disc on which is carved the names of battles, and honors granted by His Majesty King George V. These honor disks are repeated on each of the other three approaches to the Shrine. They commemorate the following battles: the landing at Anzac, San Bair, Gaza, Beershaka, North Sea, Cocos Island, Megiddo, Damascus, Villers Bretanneux, Amiens, Mont St. Quentin, Hindenberg Line, Ypres, Messines, Pozieres and Bulldcourt. Using our “myki” cards (tram passes), we traveled back to the ship and sailed away for Adelaide,, a charming relatively small port town somewhat larger than Louisville.

In World War I, 114,000 Australians enlisted as war was declared. 80,000 served abroad. 19,000 were killed and buried abroad.

After a day at sea, we docked and went to town. Adelaide has lots of Victorian buildings and a modern walking and shopping area.

This beautiful shrine has provided a place where Victorians can grieve as individuals, as families or as a community. It also honors the courage of

The Fine Art of What to Keep Spring is fast approaching, and that means another round of seasonal cleaning is upon us. Yet for some, this task can be fairly daunting. I talked to Sharon Butler, the Clutter Butler specialist on downsizing, to get some great tips on how to determine if something is clutter or precious to you.

Inevitably, most of us will reach a point when we need to downsize our living space. How can Clutter Butler help alleviate the stress of moving?

If she has a bone to pick with you, she ent now.” I’m having a difficult time coping. I feel like I have been thrown away. I didn’t ask for such a serious commitment, but he made me believe. I am scared, depressed, anxious and no longer want to date because I don’t want to have any casual flings. My loyalty is literally killing me. I don’t know if I should change my preferences in life or learn to love me. I’m too young for this, right? -- TEEN IN NEW YORK DEAR TEEN: No one is “old enough” to experience what you have and not come out of it without emotional bruises. Not knowing your former boyfriend, I’m reluctant to guess whether he is grieving the loss of the baby, or relieved that he isn’t going to have fatherhood thrust upon him and has run for the hills. But at least for the present, accept that the relationship is over and don’t blame yourself. You could benefit from talking to a counselor about everything you have been through. I agree you are not ready to date right now and, frankly, you shouldn’t until you are more healed emotionally. If you have older, experienced women in your life with whom you can talk, it’s important that you do. The feelings you are experiencing are normal under the circumstances, including your loss of self-esteem. I’m glad you have the insight to realize that you need to learn to love yourself again before re-entering the dating scene. ••• DEAR ABBY: My 30-year-old daughter and 8-year-old granddaughter have moved back home. The house now holds four generations. It’s hard to keep everyone happy. My father and I are both years-long smokers, which is causing major problems. Neither of us wishes to quit, and we feel it is our right to do as we please in our own home. My daughter is constantly telling her daugh-

should do it directly -- not through her child. That said, because secondhand smoke isn’t healthy for children, out of love and consideration for your granddaughter, you and your father should consider designating a smoking room in your home and lighting up there, or smoking outside. ••• DEAR ABBY: I have been married to my husband for 10 years. Prior to that, we dated for seven. (We met when we were teenagers.) My problem is, my mother-in-law still misspells my name, which is Sara. After all these years, she still adds an “h” to the end of my name, regardless of how many times my husband has pointed out the correct spelling. I don’t know why this is an issue, because we send her cards on all the holidays, her birthday, etc., with my name spelled correctly. How should I approach this with her? -SIMPLY SARA IN ARIZONA DEAR SIMPLY SARA: If the two of you get along well, just smile and ask her why she can’t get the spelling of your name right. Then listen. However, if there is tension in your relationship, recognize that this may be a form of passive aggression, that confronting her will make her defensive, and she will find some other way to needle you. P.S. Another thought. Tell her you’ve changed the spelling of your name to “Sarah” and she may drop the “h”! ••• DEAR ABBY: My best friend is dying from lung cancer, which I think has traveled to her brain. I am heartbroken over this. My question is, she seems different now -- angry. She jumped on me when we were talking about her disease. Should I just leave her be? Or what should I do? -- STANDING BY IN TEXAS DEAR STANDING BY: Your friend may indeed be angry, and she has a right to be. She may also be very scared. Continue to stand by her because she will need your support and understanding in the months

to come. A diagnosis of metastasized cancer can make someone feel alone and isolated. If she wants to talk about her prognosis, be prepared to listen. If she is too ill to get out of the house, bring the news about what is going on in her circle of friends to her. (Gossip can be distracting.) Do NOT offer advice unless you are asked for it. And if she has a bad day, try to be understanding and forgiving. ••• DEAR ABBY: My husband is a handsome executive who works out of town. I’m a professional with a responsible job that limits my ability to travel. I needed to borrow his phone recently and noticed that one of his colleagues has been texting him after hours. She asks if he has traveled safely, tells him she misses him, how much she enjoys working with him -- all with romantic emoticons. I’m concerned that the flattery and emoticons indicate she wants more than a work-based relationship. She’s married with kids. How should I approach this? -- WORRIED WIFE IN KENTUCKY DEAR WORRIED WIFE: Because there have been more than one of these flirtatious, unbusinesslike communications, assume that your husband hasn’t discouraged them. Confront him. Tell him you feel what she’s doing is a threat to your marriage, and you want it stopped. But before you do, make copies of the texts so you can confront the woman with them if she doesn’t stop. ••• DEAR ABBY: I gave up a baby girl for adoption 29 years ago. I thought when she became an adult she would want to contact me, but I have heard nothing. I have known how to contact her for many years, but haven’t done it because I didn’t want to intrude in her life. I have left contact totally up to her if she chooses. Like I said, so far I’ve heard nothing, and I’m just wondering why she wouldn’t want to contact me or know anything about me. -WONDERING BIO-MOM DEAR BIO-MOM: Are you certain your daughter knows she was adopted? While many adopted children want to know their birth parents, not all do because they don’t feel anything is “missing” in their lives. They may also think it would be disrespectful to the parents who raised them. Please don’t take it personally. Dear Abby is written by Abigail Van Buren, also known as Jeanne Phillips, and was founded by her mother, Pauline Phillips. Contact Dear Abby at www.DearAbby.com or P.O.

Bridge Shines Bright There will be a new addition to the Louisville skyline from Wednesday onwards, as lights will now shine over the Big Four Bridge. The project is the brainchild of Mike Kimmel, deputy director of Waterfront Development, after he visited Turkey on a vacation, and was wowed by the lights that lit up the giant bridge that spans the Bosphorus. When he returned to Louisville, he wanted to bring back a little bit of Turkey home. The result is 1400 LED lights that shine brightly across the Ohio River, and beyond, in a pattern that can change for any occasion. “So far, everyone has really liked it,” explained Kimmel after a number of test runs took place.” As for how many more patterns there are that can wow the crowds, Kimmel gave a sneak peak. “We have many up our sleeve, which we already have programmed, including those for the holidays.” PHOTO COURTESY OF DUKE MARSH

he 23rd annual Heart Ball will take place on Saturday, Feb. 21. This black-tie event is held to raise funds for, and awareness of congenital heart defects, which are the leading birth defects in children. This year, they hope to raise a record $600,000 to support life-saving education and advocacy work, all while highlighting the breakthroughs in cardiovascular research. We spoke with Courtney Burge, the Heart Ball director for the American Heart Association to find out more details about this great event.

The Heart Ball

When: Saturday, February 21 at 6pm Where: Louisville Marriott Downtown For more information contact Courtney Burge at 502-371-6012 or email courtney.burge@heart.org

What’s the theme for the 2015 Heart Ball? The theme is Pop HeART – it’s a play on the Pop Art era from the ‘60’s – and we took our inspiration from this period of time when planning our décor and color scheme

How did the Heart Ball come to be?

Is this your biggest event of the year? If not, what other big fundraisers do you have?

It was started many years ago as a way to raise funds and awareness for our mission to build healthier lives, free of cardiovascular diseases and stroke.

This is one of three signature fundraisers for the American Heart Association – our other events are the Go Red for Women Luncheon in May, and the Heart Walk in September.

What can attendees expect for this year’s entertainment? The Heart Ball is a truly special event, from start to finish. Our planning committee does a wonderful job of incorporating special details all night to ensure our guests have a great time – from specialty cocktails, to fun photo stations, and an awesome band. This year we are excited to feature the Galaxy Band as our entertainment – we guarantee the dance floor will be packed all night, so bring your dancing shoes! What are some of the prizes up for grabs for this year’s silent and live auctions? Our silent auction has something for everyone: sports memorabilia, concert tickets, spa packages, private dinners with local chefs, a Napa Valley getaway, a private tour at Woodford Reserve, and plenty of bourbon, wine and liquor baskets for those who love to entertain. We are excited to feature two Florida trips in our live auction, a special Thunder Over Louisville package, and the coveted Pappy Van Winkle 23 year. VT

MUHAMMAD ALI CENTER If you do anything first, The Ali Center is immediately accessible across from the Sixth Street parking garage and its architecture is something to be experienced by anyone living in the area. Aside from being a spacious venue for big shows and events, it is a fascinating construction designed to take you through the life and legacy of Louisville’s greatest athletic hero. Starting with a documentary in a large theater on the top floor, the museum is a spiraling multi-storied walk through all the years of Cassius Clay, to the triumph of Ali, with a tremendous amount of memorabilia exhibited at every stop. For anyone who never came to understand this complex man’s history and accomplishments, now is a great time to start. FRAZIER HISTORY MUSEUM Artifacts from centuries past – particularly arms – are on display in the Frazier History Museum. Their notable collection of historical weaponry really provides perspective for the craft of, and involvement in, warfare mechanics of the past. The second floor alone is a bold display of the path through the American frontier, starting with the sixteenth century, going all the way to up to the early twentieth. Educational presentations are frequently scheduled, and “hands-on” tours (where you get to hold some of these antiques) are always available, courtesy of the staff. SLUGGER MUSEUM & FACTORY The highlight city attraction that is, The Slugger Museum & Factory, is an essential destination for baseball fans, and offers an informative exploration through the history of America’s great game. Any person who never knew how beautiful the craft of making a baseball bat can be (and the world’s most famous kind, at that), can tour the factory with an excellent guide to show every step of the proF E B R U A R Y 1 2 , 2 0 1 5 • W W W .

“ “Just Making

Things”

By Ashlie Stevens, Contributing Writer

here will be six vintage presses, hundreds of gallons of ink, and countless blocks of type to load up when the moving trucks come to Hound Dog Press in April. Once those are stowed away—tucked among packing peanuts and oversized cardboard boxes—it will be time to un-tack the hand-pressed posters from the exposed brick wall.

led him into the world of letterpress.

Some are funny: “You had me at bacon.” Others, informative: “In Kentucky, there are more barrels of bourbon than people.” And others are slightly suggestive: “I’m going to butter your bread.” But one poster, a startlingly beautiful print that features an intricately designed sugar skull surrounded by deep, yellow flowers, is a perfect picture of the care that owners Nick Baute and Robert Ronk take in their work, and what it means to the Louisville community. Baute and Ronk met at the University of Kentucky; both were studying for their BFA in printmaking and became close friends. During his time at UK, Baute first explored wood-engraving, which

Upon graduation, Baute moved to New York where he worked in several printmaking shops. Ronk made a visit from Lexington to the South Street Seaport Museum, where Baute was working at the time, and the two spent the day making prints together, their first inkling that they could create well together. But it wasn’t until Baute married a Louisville girl that the two would get the chance. “Initially, it was a fight to move back to Kentucky,” Baute said. He was doing well in New York and, being unsure of opportunities in his home state, didn’t want to give up the printmaking. “I had already fallen in love with this, and couldn’t imagine doing anything else.”

we take for granted here,” Baute said. “The organization approached us about the idea of a sugar skull and brought in an indigenous dress with hand-embroidered flowers for inspiration. They said, ‘We don’t care what you do, because we really like your style, and think we can sell these.’” That evening Baute went home and sketched out some designs, and proceeded to carve the wooden block from which the poster would be printed. “It was a five-color reduction print, so all the colors were printed from a single block, which means that you start with your lightest color, and what you are left with at the end is your darkest key-plate, essentially. So it’s a limited edition print; no more can be printed unless I decided to recarve those layers again,” Baute said.

Hound Dog Press will begin relocation to their new space on Barret Avenue in late-April, before the lease on their current Market Street space runs up on May 1. “The rapid rate of growth that we experienced for the first five years was stressful, but exciting and encouraging,” Baute said. “This was the first year we plateaued, so we are kind of taking a step back and rethinking what we need to do, where we need to be.” He continued: “We’ve been so busy just trying to keep up with orders, that this year, in this new space, we really want to focus again on just making things.” VT

Fish & chips.

Hitting All The Pegs

f you want to announce yourself as part of the Louisville restaurant scene, serving a piece of fried chicken between waffles, slathering on some maple mayonnaise, and calling it “a sandwich” seems as workable a gimmick as any. And if you want to eat something really good, as part of a menu of truly inventive takes on elevated pub grub, head to Four Pegs Beer Lounge in Germantown and get yourself a chicken and waffle sandwich.

The bar had the usual assortment of finger foods, which every bar requires. And so Turner has tampered only slightly with the “starters” menu of pretzel and beer cheese, fried ravioli, chili cheese fries, and fried green tomatoes.

Tastes STEVE KAUFMAN

So there’s a craft beer sauce on the beer burger. There’s aged ale and mustard cheddar with dill créme on the red dragon burger. Most interestingly, perhaps, is the beer batter on the fish and chips.

This is no gimmick! Chef Eric Turner is shaking and stirring the notion of bar food with some clever combinations of ingredients and preparations and in the process, he’s bringing real food to the foodies, who are beginning to frequent that stretch of Goss Avenue in Germantown, that for years has been a shotand-a-beer oasis.

I told them I was not particularly fond of fish, even as the plate arrived – a huge slab of basa (a Vietnamese fish akin to catfish) atop a plateful of long-cut, moist and tender fries. The fish was tender and flaky, with just a faint hint of fishiness. And the batter was light, but redolent of the pale lager that was used to make it.

Four Pegs was opened three years ago by four friends, on the corner of Goss and Spratt Street, as an upgraded version of the neighborhood beer lounge, specializing in craft beer from around the country. Princeton Hurst, a local real estate broker and entrepreneur who bought the property a year ago, saw the potential to make this more than just a bar. He hired Turner, who had been the chef at Amici Café, and who saw this as an opportunity to really flex his creative muscles. “We’re trying to legitimize ourselves as much for being a restaurant as for having great beers,” Turner says. “We want to give people something they can’t get at other bars.” F E B R U A R Y 1 2 , 2 0 1 5 • W W W . V O I C E -T R I B U N E . C O M

But he has really got creative on the other side of the menu. Other than a chicken and hummus wrap, most of the main dishes seem conventional: burgers, fish and chips, a Philly cheese steak, and chili. But Turner is stirring the pot – literally. And one of his primary cooking ingredients, sensibly, comes from the vast array of craft beers that come and go on a constantly rotating basis.

As my fork kept going back to this tempting creation, Turner reminded me I was not “a fish person.”

Fried green tomatoes.

Don’t become married to the tastes of the beer-infused dishes, though. Restaurant manager Greg Torre, himself a veteran of Amici, told me the offering is constantly changing, as old kegs are emptied and new ones hooked up. That happens as often as a couple of times a week. So the taste of the fish I had so surprisingly fallen in love with might vary slightly the next time I order it.

P H O T O S B Y C H R I S H U M P H R E Y S | T H E V O I C E -T R I B U N E

LIFE

And there will be a next time! Probably several next times. Torre said the craft kegs come from all over the country, but he intends to concentrate more on Kentucky’s impressive local fare going forward. This time of year, you’re likely to find a heavy assortment of stouts, porters and dark ales, but even those can be ephemeral. A recent beer list on the restaurant’s web site had such intriguing items as a Bells Cherry Stout, a Stone Double Bastard American strong ale, a Stone Smoked Vanilla Porter, a Bosteel’s Belgian Tripel Karmeliet, a Virtue Lapinette cider – all inviting on a cold February evening. But, said Torre, gone, gone, gone, gone and gone. He said he’s trying to keep the web site more up-to-date, but at a turnover of two or three times a week, that’s clearly difficult. The good news is, you’ll probably find a beer you like every time you’re in and there will be more frequent opportunites for that as Turner is adding lunch six times a week, and a Sunday brunch that will soon become a weekend brunch. So we sampled from that menu a Philly cheesesteak hash with Provolone cheese, onions and peppers and house-cut home fries. A lightly fried egg sat atop finely cut, but tender and tasteful beef. The Provolone was a welcome, sharp and smokey but not-too-intrusive, element. The onions and peppers did what onions and peppers are supposed to do with hash. His chicken, fried in a three-stage breading process that includes Japanese-style Panko bread crumbs, recently put Four Pegs on a list of “Louisville’s 8 Best Fried Chicken Spots,” according to Thrillist.com. “There’s something special about their version that grabs you and kisses you all over. The homey pub atmosphere probably helps, but it still can’t explain the chemistry of why Four Pegs does this so... right.” Turner loves the attention to his chicken-and-waffle specialty, but he insists there’s a full panoply of warm-you-up comfort food. Or, as the menu says, “Everything on our menu will feed your soul as much as it will feed your appetite.” VT Four Pegs Beer Lounge is at 1053 Goss Ave. in Germantown. Hours are 11 a.m.-11 p.m. during the week, 3-11 p.m. on weekends. Call 502.634.1447 or visit fourpegsbeerlounge. com.

“Folk You Very Much” What are some classes you’re offering?

How many bands are you in today? How many need schooling?

Each of our eight-week sessions will offer beginner classes in banjo, mandolin, fiddle, and guitar, as well as classes for non-beginners. I’m excited about the beginner classes because Arts & will be bringing new people into Entertainment they our music community. Our ensemble classes are also proving to be incrediPETER bly fun! We have a jug band ensemble BERKOWITZ and a bluegrass band ensemble this Peter’s Picks session – both of which are having a blast learning to play tunes just as a band would. The bluegrass ensemble class is also learning how to jam in informal groups, which is a huge part of the bluegrass music community worldwide. How did you get this idea? Are you Many of the best traditional music instrucfinancing it all yourself ? tors in Louisville are teaching at Louisville Folk The St. Louis Folk School hosted The 23 School. We are really lucky to have such a solid String Band for a concert and a workshop a group of instructors with many years of perforcouple of years ago, and my bandmates and mance and instruction experience, almost all I were all impressed by the way their Folk of whom I have studied under, and performed School engaged their community with edu- with, myself. cation and performances in a wide variety of traditional American music. We later played at a Folk School in Brooklyn that was the epicenter of old-time and folk music for the area. Louisville didn’t have a home for this music, and it’s something I wanted the community to have.

Zing! Ha ha! Relic is a bluegrass band that I’ve played in for the last 10 years. We perform a free show every Wednesday night at the Monkey Wrench. I’ve recently been playing bass guitar with Scott Carney and Heavy Friends, which has been a fun departure from my other projects. I have a progressive bluegrass band called Esteemed Colleagues that plays weddings, dances and private events. There are a couple other contra/square dance bands that I play with when they call me, and that’s always fun for me.

n Owensboro native, Dave Howard has been a leader in Louisville’s folk-and-more music scene for over a decade now, having played mandolin in The 23 String Band and Relic, worked at Music Go Round and now, in his latest and boldest undertaking, founding the Louisville Folk School, which hold classes inside Shine studio in NuLu. He schooled me on the project.

My motivation for starting a Folk School here was primarily as a service for the community. This project can only thrive if it is done for the community - it must be supported by the people it is intended to serve. We are making something out of nothing. To say that anyone financed this project would be an exaggeration. I have invested many hours traveling to music conferences and folk schools around the country over the last year-and-ahalf to study how this project might get off the ground, and what could make it successful, but I hesitate to say that I financed this. When I started getting into bluegrass music, it was a bit of a challenge at first because I didn’t grow up listening to that type of music. There are dozens of tunes that are standards many people that play bluegrass music appear to instinctively know all of these songs, and the non-verbal language that goes along with playing the music. If you have not had years of exposure to the music, it’s a challenge to learn to play in that style. The Folk School helps interested musicians jump that hurdle by letting people immerse themselves in different disciplines related to bluegrass, old-time, jug band and other folk genres.

I am currently taking fiddle lessons as part of a Kentucky Arts Council Masters Apprenticeship Grant with Scott Moore, who is also the fiddle teacher at Louisville Folk School. Taking lessons is fun for me. We are all on a path toward improving ourselves as musicians, performers, writers and teachers. I wouldn’t tell anyone they need schooling in that respect, but I hope we will never stop learning. VT

Film Review BENNETT DUCKWORTH

LIFE

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

wo movies are out, which until now, were shelved for a long time. January and February are usually the dumping time for studios, hoping to retrieve at least something from a disastrous investment. Both films have enough special effects to prevent any single effect from being special, and they’re both generally boring. There’s too much wrong with the Wachowskis’ “Jupiter Ascending” to cover in this piece. I hated it. Despite my appreciation for science-fiction of the corny variety, this film has messy story construction incapable of producing the suspense or intrigue necessary to get its audience involved with all its twists and double-crosses. The only value to be found in this film is in its mega-budget wealth of crazy costume, set and ship designs. But they’re not much more impressive than other recent adventure fantasies which also paid a little tribute to Dino De Laurentiis productions (Flash Gordon), like “Guardians of the Galaxy,” “Thor” or even

1.5 OUT OF 4 WHOLE STARS the underrated “John Carter.” Mila Kunis is awkwardly cast as Jupiter, a Chicago housekeeper who learns she has intergalactic status as heir to our planet, when aliens try to kill her. She is rescued by a genetically-engineered part-dog warrior man with anti-gravity boots and a repressed lover’s heart -played by Channing Tatum (also awkward). “Seventh Son,” however, is comparably watchable. This is the new medieval fantasy with Jeff Bridges as a witch-hunting sage

2 OUT OF 4 WHOLE STARS training a young apprentice (Ben Barnes) how to fight evil spirits. It isn’t very good looking, has some ugly special effects and rather formulaic action. But to its merit, it has actors who seem as though they’re having fun, real locations and a simple, easy-to-follow plot. These things all add up to some B-Movie charm. It reminded me a little of “Dragonslayer.” Julianne Moore also hams-up her role as a villainous witch with tongue-in-cheek performing. It’s kind of good-bad, as opposed to bad-bad, if that makes sense. VT
