Louisville

is already well-known and respected as an arts community, but for one reason or another, film has never really taken off here.

In order to stimulate this part of the city’s culture and make it a place for film, television and new media production, Louisville Mayor Greg Fischer announced the creation of the Louisville Film Commission back in August 2015. The commission is comprised of 17 people who are well-versed in the local film scene as well as capable of serving as competent liaisons to the film community worldwide. The Louisville area’s film history dates back a century to pioneering director D.W. Griffith. It’s a statement that certainly holds up. According to the Internet Movie Database, all or parts of more than 330 movies and television episodes have been filmed in Louisville. Among those films were "Stripes," "Goldfinger," "The Insider," "Elizabethtown," "Secretariat," "Rain Man" and current Academy Award-nominated film "Carol." sionals expect. Even with the commission being a relatively recent affair, local films such as “Pleased to Meet Me” and “Where Hope Grows” have both developed the local film workforce.

The two main goals of the commission are marketing and education, the first of which will focus on bringing work to the talent already in the state.

The educational aspect will reinforce and strengthen the already present local film festivals, namely the IF Film Festival and the Louisville International Film Festival, as well as prepare that talent to deliver the quality of work that outside film profes-

myraid benefits to filming here. “With Louisville’s central location, diverse urban and rural regional landscapes, affordability and streamlined business and permitting operations, we believe that Louisville has impressive options for all genres of creative media,” she said in a press release. “By growing our image through film and media, we have the ability to attract global talent and new job opportunities.”

House Bill 340, which is now signed as the law behind the existence of the film commission, offers some enticing tax incentives for bigger production companies to shoot in the Commonwealth. In fact, it has already helped create jobs, generate tax revenue and promote tourism. The reason is simple: under this new law, up to 30 percent of approved film budgeting can be awarded as a refundable income tax credit. The truly exciting thing about this new development is that this refund applies to not only the local films already mentioned but also any major studio productions that shoot in Kentucky.

Louisville is a city that fosters and cherishes the arts. Art galleries dot NuLu and Clifton, and the walls of local restaurants and coffee shops are often adorned with the products of local painters; writers can share their work at any number of regular literary events around the city; our music scene is, of course, thriving.

Yet, there is very little emphasis on the art of film in our city. One organization that is striving to change that is the prolific Louisville Film Society.

and film development, produced documentaries, short films and infomercials. “Understanding production pre to post and the challenges that come with it allows me to consult productions on behalf of the film commission,” she says. “Producing award shows for hundreds of studio executives and top writers makes Oscar watch parties and film festivals for the film society a very enjoyable cake walk. Between my work for the film society, film commission and currently producing and directing my own film, every muscle in my brain and body is utilized. To live in Louisville and have that be the case is something I dreamt about when I lived in Los Angeles.”

Soozie Eastman is the executive director of the Louisville Film Society and serves as one of the 17 members on the Louisville Film Commission. She worked in the film industry in Los Angeles for the past 12 years before returning home to Louisville to shoot an incentivized feature documentary. She has worked in TV

It is certainly a boon for the Louisville Film Society and the city at large to have someone like Eastman, someone who can create and produce all of our programming including the parties, screenings and festivals as well as run the day-to-day operations for the organization is invaluable: “On behalf of the film commission,

members represent the city to visiting productions, promoting Louisville and our local crew as the ideal setting for their next film or TV shoot.

From casting to locations and permits, suggestions on hotels, payroll companies and infrastructure, we connect filmmakers to their local production needs and highlight what sets Louisville and the collar counties apart from the rest of the country.”

Having a unified body dedicated to representing the locations and talent in Louisville has already had a positive impact on the scene if films like “Where Hope Grows,” “Pleased to Meet Me” and “Runoff” are any indication. “Runoff,” the directorial debut of local filmmaker Kimberly Levin, is gorgeously shot on working farms, where actors and real farmers share the screen. Joanne Kelly delivers a raw performance that lends itself to the riveting character study of a woman in the underbelly of the agricultural world. The film has been well-received, with the review by Matt Soller Seitz of rogerebert.com serving as proof positive: “I can say without hesitation that if you want to be able F E B R U A R Y 1 8 , 2 0 1 6 • W W W .

While the strength of Louisville’s theatre community is potent, the idea of craft-driven films is something new. It’s definitely an exciting development, especially for local actors struggling to build careers while having to find work regionally. This way, the much-needed work will come to them. “Our organization aims to highlight the work of local filmmakers and create unique film-related experiences and programming throughout the year,” says Eastman. “There is a definite need for our organization in the community to put on screenings that include sneak peeks for our members of both large blockbusters and indie flicks, but we also focus on being a conduit for connecting local filmmakers, providing fiscal sponsorship to local projects, liaising with visiting productions and introducing them to local crew.” The local filmmaking scene is something that needs a good bit of nurturing, but with this commission in such good hands, Louisville is sure to get it.

The Speed Opening Gala, taking place March 5, 2016, is perhaps the most looked-forward to event of the year and will serve as this year's Speed Ball. Guests will have the opportunity to explore the museum and discover its richest new offerings as well as returning timeless classics. There will be a myriad of lounge areas that will aid in the event's celebration of the wondrous culture of Louisville.

Musical performances, curated by Jecorey

"1200" Arthur, will accent the evening and feature an array of styles and genres that will not only complement the artistry of the museum but also speak to the diversity of the city's musical landscape.

And, of course, no evening would be complete without the gourmet food. Susan Hershberg and Wiltshire Pantry in tandem with the Speed will be hosting some of the area's premier chefs to provide the eats of the evening.

One performance in particular is sure to dazzle guests at the event. The Louisville Orchestra and Louisville Ballet will be collaborating on an absolutely singular piece that will go down in history.

But of course, none of this would be possible without the hard work of the event's marvelous co-chairs. We spoke with each of them to learn why they support the Speed and see it as so integral in the community.

Co-Chair Douglas Riddle.

The Speed Art Museum has a significant impact on our city, and I am very proud to be an active supporter of its mission. At the Speed, art comes to life by reflecting our life, our past and vision for the future. The Speed provides that unique place to experience and open up the creativity that lies within each and every one of us.

The Speed continues to be involved in our city through its outreach and education programs for our younger generation. These programs have been instrumental in introducing and getting our next generation to unlock their creativity while opening up their minds to undiscovered potential. Exciting new elements at the museum like the cinema and Art Park are sure to bring in young visitors who have never been before! It will be the place to meet, to attend events, to experience the incredible architecture and to just have fun.

Co-Chairs Fran and Matt Thornton.

The Speed is the only art museum in this region. It gives people the opportunity to explore the world through art. Art is an essential element in the development of children, helping them grow their imagination and creativity. The Speed has incredible programming for children. Louisville is very lucky to have the Speed and Art Sparks. We are counting down the days until it opens.

Most of all, the Speed will be an expression of the magic of our city and state – a confluence of so many American strains braided into one. When it reopens its doors in March, it will be a great breath of new life into an already thriving arts scene. It will stand strong next to its peers, but most importantly, it will be a resource worthy of the great community it serves.

-BROOKE BARZUN

Honorary Chairs Brooke and Matthew Barzun.

“We’re really supportive of the Speed’s programming, in particular, their renewed approach to involving the entire community in their programming. The re-opening of the Speed has a renewed focus on bringing the community into the Speed and taking the Speed out into the community and collaborating with other arts organizations while bringing the arts to those who may not get to engage with the arts on such a regular basis.”

I moved to Louisville almost 18 years ago as I was enthralled by the art and music scene that was prospering in the city and was abuzz around the country. What I came to find was not only a rich cultural scene but a supportive and involved community that was in a large part responsible for its success and development. I quickly decided to make Louisville my adopted hometown, and its community has become family, it’s cultural centers my living room. And at the center of my “home” has always been the Speed. I grew up with a great respect and connection to art, especially contemporary art, and I appreciate art’s ability to inform perception and create conversation. The Speed is the nexus of the art world in this region; having it elevated architecturally to meet the community’s engagement and enthusiasm for art is not only appropriate but a triumph that deserves to be celebrated.

Therefore, when a grand opening celebration was being planned, I immediately threw myself into the project, maybe even a little begging was involved ;). I wanted to be a part of history – this opening will never be forgotten and will be the beginning of an even more exciting chapter for art and artists in this region and beyond. I also wanted to celebrate the incredible group of individuals who worked tirelessly to make this next chapter of the Speed a reality. The best way for me to honor them was to join the incredible team putting the Opening Gala together. Just when I think I couldn’t get any luckier, Louisville, thankfully, always proves me wrong. The entire planning process has been a celebration in and of itself, and this will be evident to all those in attendance on the 5th of March.

-HEATHER KLEISNER

Co-Chair Heather Kleisner.

The Speed Ball is the Speed Art Museum’s most significant fundraiser and is critical for the current, and future, success of the Museum.

With the opening of the new Museum in March 2016, the Speed Opening Gala will serve as the 2016 Speed Ball, and will be the inaugural celebration for the new Speed Art Museum, having been closed since 2012 for a $60-million dollar renovation and expansion.

THE SPEED OPENING GALA WILL TAKE PLACE SATURDAY, MARCH 5, 2016.

The Perfect Ingredient

laudia DeLatorre has always approached cooking with a sense of curiosity, as though solving a riddle or embarking on an exploratory journey.

DeLatorre enjoys her job and her customers, from the lovebirds who thronged last week for Valentine’s Day cupcakes to the regulars who show up consistently at 7 a.m. for coffee.

Business

“It comes very natural,” she says of her work.

At the French Culinary Institute in WES New York, DeLatorre worked under DeLatorre’s affection for creating recipes developed at least as early as expert chefs. But even though she had KERRICK the fifth or sixth grade, when she and long sought a culinary career, DeLaher sister would entertain themselves torre had no intention at first of startat home by cooking things. They would tape cook- ing a bakery in Louisville. ing shows that told you all but one mystery ingreWhen she moved here, it was to be near family. dient or measurement for a certain dish or pastry, At first, she stayed at home with her young son and then they would try to figure it out. and daughter. But for the chef at heart, it wasn’t “I’ve always cooked a lot,” says DeLatorre. “I’ve long till the idea of opening Cake Flour emerged. always baked a lot. I’ve always been in the kitchen, “I was talking about it with my husband, and always bringing things to class for everybody else then we just kind of decided, ‘Hey, I think we can who was in the class.” actually do this.’ So we did.”

So in 2008 when the New Jersey native opened For the first several years, DeLatorre operated a bakery in Louisville, it came instinctively that every cake, pastry or cookie would be crafted from the bakery in a space on Market Street in NuLu. About two years ago, she moved to the current scrupulously selected ingredients.

At 2420 Lime Kiln Lane, Cake Flour only uses location in the East End. unbleached sugar and unbleached, unbromated flour. The chocolate is made from pure cocoa butter and natural vanilla and has no additives. Even the sprinkles are organic.

About six years ago, an employee answered the phone on a day when DeLatorre wasn’t in. The caller said he was with the Food Network and that the TV channel wanted to feature Cake Flour.

The employee assumed it was a prank call, so she told the caller that DeLatorre wasn’t in and concluded the conversation without taking down a number.

But two weeks later, the Food Network called again.

“The same employee picked up the phone,” DeLatorre recalls with a chuckle, “and she’s like: ‘I think it’s real.’”

Chef Aarón Sánchez had tasted Cake Flour’s signature flourless chocolate cake at a party in New York where someone from Louisville had brought it.

Even more than being featured on national TV, DeLatorre enjoys playing a key role in her customers’ most memorable celebrations.

“The pictures that they take of their birthday parties – it’s always the person with the cake,” she says. “We’re part of that family’s history.”

And ever the curious type, DeLatorre still loves to experiment. She’s always trying out ideas she finds in trade magazines or on YouTube.

“You’re learning every day,” she says. “It’s not like you ever stop learning. There’s always something new; there’s always something more to do.” VT For more information, call the bakery at 502.425.0130 or visit cakeflourbakery.com.

ty High School to three straight Class 4A state championships from 2001 to 2003. He graced the cover of Sports Illustrated in 2002 and was named the USA Today National Offensive Player of the Year a season later. Despite being courted by every major college program in the country, Brohm ultimately chose to follow in his elders’ footsteps and sign with Louisville.

Success continued at the next level for Brohm.

He was named the Conference USA Freshman of the Year in 2004, the Big East Offensive Player of the Year the season after that, and was the MVP of Louisville’s 2007 Orange Bowl victory over Wake Forest. Brohm wrapped up his Cardinal career with 10,775 yards (second all-time at UofL) and 71 touchdowns.

“There's a kid out there who's going to end up being better than all of us. A kid named Brohm.”

56th overall pick of the 2008 NFL Draft. His professional career continued in the UFL and later the CFL, where he suited up for the Hamilton Tiger Cats and Winnipeg Blue Bombers.

After choosing to hang up his cleats for good last month, Brohm made the long-expected move to join the coaching ranks. His first gig? Caching quarterback at Western Kentucky for his brother Jeff, of course.

“I’m very excited to be a part of this great university,” Brohm said at his introductory news conference. “Obviously, I’ve been following the program for the last few years with Jeff as the head coach. It timed up that my playing career was kind of winding down and an opening came on the offensive staff. Couldn’t be happier about where I’m at and couldn’t be more excited about the opportunity to be able to step in and be the quarterback coach for such a successful offense.

“It’s really what any young coach would be wishing for, would be this situation.”

“This situation” is working with a Western Kentucky offense that carried the Hilltoppers to the 2015 Conference USA title and finished No. 9 in the country in total offense. A big part of that attack was senior quarterback Brandon Doughty, who became just the third player in

FBS history to throw for 4,000 yards and 40 touchdowns in back-to-back seasons.

With Doughty off to chase his dream of playing in the NFL, the task for the younger Brohm will be to find a replacement who, at the very least, can understand the elder Brohm’s offense the way his predecessor did. The first step will be determining which member of the handful of signal callers on the WKU roster has the best chance at accomplishing that.

“We want them to strive to be as good as Brandon Doughty was, if they can even be better,” Brian Brohm said. “We’ve got a lot of work ahead of us. Obviously there’s going to be competition. We’re going to have a good group of guys competing every day. We just want to see what they’ve got each and every day, and I’ll be there to guide them down that path. I’m really looking forward to getting in that quarterback room and working with those guys.”

Anyone who has lived in Louisville for a couple of decades can tell you three things: 1.) The Kentucky Derby is run the first Saturday in May. 2.) College basketball is religion. 3). The Brohm family knows the quarterback position.

That being the case, it’s safe to assume that the new crop of signal callers in Bowling Green are in some capable hands. VT W W W . V O I C E -T R I B U N E . C O M • F E B R U A R Y 1 8 , 2 0 1 6

Cards Fight for a Win

L

ast year, UofL’s women’s basketball team was a well-oiled machine. They were comprised of several ladies who ended up playing for the WNBA. Their talents and cohesion as a team easily afforded them the ability to take down USF in the NCAA tournament. This year’s team is less experienced, but they are just as hungry.

They managed to come out on top, but on Monday, February 15, UofL had to fight for their win.

The first half didn’t go so well, but as previously mentioned, UofL was able to bounce back from a 13-for-32 first half. The desperation for the win was palpable throughout the game, and it was obvious that the UofL women wanted to gain a seat in the lauded top ten that they rightfully deserve. The second half lit a fire under them, and they were able to get fans on their feet as they changed the final score to 67-50 in their favor.

Louisville’s Arica Carter took a short jump shot in the third quarter. Carter was one of four Cardinals to play in excess of 32 minutes. She scored 15 points and had three steals in the 67-50 victory against South Florida.

Myisha Hines-Allen is always a dependable shooter for the Cards, and, like clockwork, she earned a whopping 25 points and 10 rebounds. Mariya Moore, also reliable, scored 19 points, and Arica Carter was in rare form and contributed a career-high of 15 points.

This win isn’t the first one UofL has earned from playing a well-ranked team. It was actually the fourth this season after fantastic games against Michigan State, Florida State and Duke, making for an impressive 17 wins in 18 games for the Cards so far.

Carter was most certainly the MVP of this game, and while every woman on the team more than adequately contributes to the team’s overall success, she’s never quite shone like this before, hitting threes both to end the first half and at a shot clock buzzer that gave them their second-half momentum.

At the time, the Cards’ lead was four.

From there, they went on to lead by as many as 17.

USF just couldn’t keep up with the Cardinals, who finished 42.4 percent from the field and allowed only seven points in the fourth quarter. VT F E B R U A R Y 1 8 , 2 0 1 6 • W W W . V O I C E -T R I B U N E . C O M

But who exactly did they • It was on the road again for Kentucky – a think they were rattling with that chant? loud, unfriendly capacity crowd.

A big shout out, of course, for Marcus Lee, who had a scoring-rebounding double-double and picked up only two fouls in a game that was called like this one was. With a front court depleted by injuries and fouls, Lee needed to stay on the court. He did.

• Carolina plays that kind of muscle game that so often unsettles the Wildcats if the game is being called a certain way.

• The game was being called a certain way.

Which leads to the last of the reasons this game meant so much: • John Calipari was tossed just two minutes into the game, complaining about a call made at that end and not made at this end.

SO HOW WOULD THE YOUNG CATS RESPOND? Sometimes a coach invites a technical to fire up his team. But that couldn’t have been on Calipari’s mind so early in the game. So if the team did get inspired, fired up, determined when it saw its coach leaving the court – buttoning his suit coat over an untucked shirt tail (classy move!) – it was largely because of one wise old head.

Not talking about Kenny Payne, John Robic or Tony Barbee, who pooled their collective experiences playing and coaching for Cal to try keeping everything under control. I’m talking about Tyler Ulis, who once again refused to let his team unravel.

Frank Martin, Carolina’s coach, noted that Ulis was still barking out directions late into the game, “when we were down by 56 or something.”

Payne said after the game that Ulis is an extension of Calipari’s mind on the floor. A lot less excitable, though. Coolis Ulis called his crew together more than once to instruct, calm down, coach and criticize. He controlled the ball, notching 12 assists and just one turnover. And when he needed to, he also dropped 27 points.

Even as the whistles began piling up – four each against Derek Willis, Skal Labissiere and Isaac Humphries – Ulis always had an answer down at the other end. As ESPN’s Kara Lawson said at one point, Ulis does not give up his

Ulis is special precisely because of his exceptional on-court demeanor, his focus, his intensity. Doubt he even heard the chant, but if he did it probably made him only more determined to drive the dagger deeper into the Gamecocks crowd.

And now it’s back to Rupp and Tennessee. Many are saying that Kentucky’s return to NCAA shape was battered by the meltdown in Knoxville, blowing a 21-point lead. So revenge for that one could be another notch on the belt for Ulis, Murray & Co. No truth to the rumor that Calipari will be watching from home that night. VT

I’m glad he had that game on national TV, I’m glad that Lawson raved about him during the telecast and glad that Jason Williams insisted, after the game, that Ulis has to be included in the National Player of the Year conversation. Going forward in Kentucky annals, I think it will be Tyler Ulis – not John Wall or Brandon Knight or Andrew Harrison – who will be the prototype for a Calipari-era point guard at UK. The guy is averaging nearly eight assists per game in the SEC in addition to 19.4 points.

Let’s not overlook his running buddy, Jamal Murray, who scored 26, repeatedly ripping Carolina’s heart out when the game was still close, including a just-amazing driving dunk. Not that it was close for very long.

When Cal went out, Kentucky had built a 5-2 lead on a Willis three and a Murray layup. It probably didn’t hurt that Carolina’s Michael Carrera, a real roughneck bordering on dirty, missed three of the four technical free throws.

But Carolina led 10-9

Tossed Salad: Cal Got Ejected, Then Ulis Took Over

Pitino: “You Must Move On.” Rick Pitino has experienced plenty of ups and downs in his 31 years as a college head coach. He has led seven different teams to the Final Four and won National Championships at Kentucky in 1996 and with Louisville in 2013. This season, with his program under investigation by the school and the NCAA, after an 18-4 start and just four days after beating No. 2 North Carolina, UofL self-imposed a postseason ban. There will be no ACC tournament or NCAA tournament for a team many figured had a shot at a deep March run.

How much of an emotional roller coaster has this season been?

You tell the players that. Are you having to tell yourself that too?

Let’s move on. Let’s forget about it. Let’s let the NCAA deal with it. Let’s let the university deal with it. Let’s coach basketball, and now the team lifts you up, lifts you up, lifts you up. Then after the Virginia game, I said, ‘Okay, you had the first adversity of the season. Now how do you get up? How do you get up and fight?’ You judge a man’s character by how he gets up and fights not by how he lays down, and they got up in a big way and played with one day prep as brilliant a game as any team. I’ve coached here in terms of strategy. Go on and win it, and then you get hit over the head again with another sledge hammer. The range of emotions is sometimes very wide, but it is painful. You must move on.

What was the initial reaction from the players?

They were devastated, but I tried to tell them, “You’re going to go through things in life, the passing of your mom, the passing of your dad. God willing you never lose a sibling.” I said, “There’s going to be things in your life that are really going to be traumatic and worse than this. Understand, this is the game of basketball, this hurts, it’s painful.

You’ve dedicated your lives to making this a great season and you deserved to play in the NCAA and have a shot at winning a championship. You’ll have worse things in your life, so let this be a lesson of getting through it in a positive way and performing for your fans.”

journey to get into the tournament, and now you’ve proven yourself worthy. Let’s go with this whole thing, and the locker room was obviously very excited. Then in 48 hours, you are at the zenith and then it goes to its nadir. It can’t get any worse.

What did you think when you heard the comments that night from Damion and Trey?

They’re pretty special. We got very lucky, it’s not the fifth year senior – it’s these two guys.

They’ve been great leaders, and that’s why it just hurts so much. Watching them talk about it gets me sick inside.

Was the timing of this even beyond your worst nightmare?

It could have happened a month ago, but it wasn’t going to happen at 18-4. Were there mistakes made? Yes. The biggest mistake was not having Tom Jurich on that committee. It’s like going into war without Patton. You’ve got your general. You’re going to war, and the smartest man in the art of war is Tom Jurich.

And you don’t have him on the committee.

Now you give him partial information and he’s got to make a decision.

What’s next?

Tom is the leader. We have to respect his decision as the leader because he’s going to do the best for the university. That’s what we’ve got to look at.

Had your confidence been building in this team?

Not since 1987. This is one of most special groups that I’ve ever encountered as a basketball coach. That’s why it hurts so much more. They deserved the right. All I’ve talked about from Puerto Rico on is this team. This is a train ride, and you’re going through some beautiful terrain. You’re going to go through some areas that are not beautiful, and you’re going to have to get through those areas. Then, after that, North Carolina.

What would you like to see from the fans in the last two home games?

I think there’s a range of emotions that go through Cardinal fans right now. That being said, these guys deserve, more than deserve, our support and for us to rally behind them. This is it for them. They came here to play in the NCAA tournament.

What were the major factors in deciding not bring back Mangok Mathiang this season?

What happens is if you’re not in great basketball shape, you don’t necessarily injure your foot, you injure another part of your anatomy because your body is not in shape. I don’t see the sense. If the NCAA was there, we would definitely bring him back. VT PHOTO BY BILL WINE

Despite that sizzling quarter-mile inside a rapid 44.49-four-furlong clocking, Nyquist had plenty of gas left in the tank to hold off a quality opponent and Kentucky Derby player in Exaggerator.

Horse Sense JOHN ASHER

The 2015 juvenile champ is Reddam Racing’s unbeaten Nyquist, who won all of his five starts in 2015 and opened the New Year with an impressive romp on Monday in the $200,000 San Vicente (Grade III) at Santa Anita.

On the heels of American Pharoah’s first American Triple Crown since 1978, one would think that the American racing public might rush to embrace an unbeaten 2-year-old champion bidding to pulloff the first back-to-back Triple Crowns since Seattle Slew and Affirmed won theirs in 1977 and ’78.

That has not been the case so far, but the Presidents Day victory by Nyquist was impressive enough to tip a few doubters in his direction. His season-opener was, in a word, dazzling.

Nyquist broke sharply from his rail post as the odds-on favorite in the seven-furlong San Vicente, was pressed by Sheikh of Sheiks for more than a half-mile and then was engaged by second choice Exaggerator, a well-regarded two-time stakes winner, at the head of the stretch. It looked for a moment as if Exaggerator might make a fight out of the early-season stop on the Road to the Kentucky Derby point system schedule, but the Doug O’Neill-trained champ had plenty left. Jockey Mario Gutierrez guided Nyquist home 1 1/2 lengths clear of Exaggerator.

Nyquist’s winning time was 1:20.72, the third-fastest clocking in San Vicente history.

The trio in the reigning champion’s corner – owner John Paul Reddam, O’Neill and Gutierrez – is well remembered for its success in 2012 with I’ll Have Another. That colt won the Kentucky Derby and Preakness but missed a Triple Crown bid when an injury knocked him out of its final jewel, the Belmont Stakes.

After Monday’s sparkler by Nyquist, O’Neill was beaming – and deservedly so.

“I hit the horsey lottery,” O’Neill exclaimed. “I hit the Powerball of 3-year-olds.”

While talking about impressive numbers, Monday’s best could have been this one: a second quarter time of 21.99 seconds.

“Goodness gracious, can anyone not be a believer in Nyquist now?” asked Keith Desormeaux, trainer of the runner-up. “That was an awesome race.”

Non-believers were more plentiful 24 hours earlier, when Nyquist ended up as the third choice when Pool Two of Churchill Downs’ Kentucky Derby Future Wager closed a three-day run.

The popular Mutuel Field wager, which includes all 3-year-old Thoroughbreds other than the 23 individual horses in the pool’s 24 wagering interests, closed as the 5-2 favorite. But it was another unbeaten colt, Shadwell Stable’s Holy Bull (GII) winner Mohaymen, who was the clear choice among individual horses at 4-1, while Nyquist was the overall third choice at 7-1.

bys of recent decades. While eventual Triple Crown winner American Pharoah pulled off the juvenile championship Kentucky Derby double last year, 2007 Derby winner Street Sense is the only other 2-year-old king to return the following spring to win the Derby since Affirmed’s double in 1978.

But the San Vicente run by Nyquist was impressive and completes a strong run in their respective 3-year-old debuts by the horses currently considered to be top contenders for the 2016 Derby. Mohaymen romped over the highly-regarded Greenpointcrusader in Gulfstream Park’s Grade II Holy Bull in his seasonal bow, and the Bob Baffert-trained Mor Spirit was an impressive come-from-behind winner of the Grade III Robert B. Lewis at Santa Anita in the first race of 2016.

Unbeaten 2-year-old champion Nyquist

And for admirers of Nyquist, there’s another reason to smile: His Beyer Speed Figure for the San Vicente victory was 100, the highest rating to date for any member of this 3-year-old crop, male or female. It came in a race in which O’Neill did not figure to have his star cranked-up for his top effort.

HIGH SCHOOL GAME OF THE WEEK:

BALLARD vs. EASTERN

Eastern played host to Ballard this past week and was heavily favored

to win. In the fourth quarter, Wilson and Alvey expanded the lead for Ballard, putting the score at 46-36. The Eagles were never able to get closer, and Ballard closed the game with a score of 62-45, bringing them to an 18-and-9 season.

Jordan Wright (32) chased a loose ball.

Ballard’s Brian Alvey (14) wasn’t going to be stopped by Javen Rushin (25).

LOOKING AHEAD:

Ballard’s Clivonte Patterson (5) met Eastern’s Chance Moore (11) for tip-off.

Sugar Ray Wyche (2) went to the rim for his Eagles.

Eastern’s Sugar Ray Wyche (2) drove the lane.

ale High School’s girls’ basketball program has a clear goal this season. Head Coach Champ Ligon Jr. says, “Our goal is to win a state championship just like it should be for everybody.

For some people, it is an unrealistic goal, but for us we feel it is a realistic goal.”

how things should go,” Sexton says.

High School Sports Report

“State is everyone’s goal, but personally, outside of basketball, I want to get closer because we are all so close. We are like sisters and I am about to leave, so I want to cherish these moments and just play and have fun.” VT

RANDY WHETSTONE JR.

He is right. For some programs, a state championship is a mere dream, but for others, it is a reality within a school’s grasp. Well, for the Lady Bulldogs, this reality falls into the hands of the team, particularly, two players: senior Iliyah Green and sophomore Emilia Sexton.

This guard/center duo led a surge for Male last season when they went 26-5 and reached the semi-final round of the state tournament. So far this year, this one-two punch has been knocking out the competition in a quest to get back to Bowling Green once more. Male is 22-2 and again, the top team in the seventh region.

“We are blessed with a combination of size, athleticism and some skill,” Ligon added. “Emilia is just a tremendous shooter. Sometimes, you can get stuck on that part of her game, but she can just about do whatever you need her to do in a given game. She really plays hard defensively, gets a lot of steals, gets a lot of assists and, for her size, gets a lot of rebounds. She really brings a lot to the floor that the other team has to worry about.

“In terms of Iliyah, she has just gotten better and better every year. This year, she has just been dominate as an inside player. She also runs the floor extremely well and anticipates defense really well. So when you’re 6-foot-2, have long arms and can run fast, it makes her hard to stop either way, offensively or defensively.”

Sexton, who is only a sophomore, is starting in her second season in varsity play. She is averaging 12.8 points and 2.3 rebounds (stats recorded for 19 games) and is a marksman as a shooter. But for her, shooting isn’t the only skill she needs to lead the troops back to state; she also must focus on being an exemplary leader.

“It feels pretty good to be a sophomore and to be a leader like that. I have girls that look up to me, but I have to be reminded that I still have to work hard, be a good role model and show them PHOTO BY RANDY WHETSTONE JR.

The luxury is that Sexton has a senior in Green she has been able to learn from. “I look up to her because she is a great leader,” Sexton adds.

“She has a great attitude, so it makes me want to have a great attitude. She goes hard every play, and it makes me want to go hard also.”

Male looks to become state champ, but Green has another goal as a senior; she wants to admire the camaraderie she has developed with her sisters on the court.

There is family history at Male for Green. Both of her parents attended the school, and in this last season for Green, who has committed to Cincinnati, a lot falls on her shoulders as the team prepares for post-season play.

“It means a lot to me,” she says. “It is really my last chance to go out and play hard and to make it fun. It is my last year in high school, so it isn’t just about winning games, but it is about having fun with my teammates and working together to reach our goal of winning state.”

Green, who averages 14.1 points and 8.0 rebounds (stats recorded for 19 games) believes that playing alongside the younger Sexton has helped her game and increases the team’s chances to reach its overall goal.

“I have been playing with her since middle school, so we have grown a lot. If she gives me the ball, she trusts me to score, but if I don’t have it, I will kick it back out to her expecting her to do what she does best – making the shots. But if I’m missing shots, she keeps giving me the ball.

She knows that I am going to miss sometimes, but she keeps giving it to me because she believes that I can make it. If she didn’t, she wouldn’t give me the ball, so that means a lot to me.”

A Pause in Patagonia

The port is rather scruffy, but across the bay, the town looks fairly nice, with a smattering of high-rises. Some of the houses would look at home in Bavaria.

Chacabuco. Patagonia is beautiful with the mist hanging low over the farmland.

There are dozens of waterfalls and rivers, yellow poplars, rustic cabins, sheep and cattle. There is an old Chilean proverb, “If you are in a hurry in Patagonia, you are wasting your time.” During our six-hour tour of the region, we got to see a very rare example of an even rarer cypress tree that, several hundred years ago, grew in great abundance. It was highly prized because it was very strong and would not burn.

To harvest these trees, which are also very slow growing, the surrounding forest was foolishly burned to the ground, leaving these “flame-proof ” trees as the only ones left standing. They are now government protected, but it will take several generations to even begin to bring them back.

DEAR ABBY: There is a topic I haven’t seen addressed in your column, namely being sexually abused by a spouse. I ended my marriage because my husband was waking me at 2 a.m., demanding sex. He expected me to have sex only a week after I had our baby, although my doctor had said I should wait six weeks. If I thought something he wanted me to do was degrading, he insisted I do it anyway.

Dear Abby JEANNE PHILLIPS

It amazes me that the subject of spousal abuse isn’t mentioned in premarital counseling.

No one seems willing to acknowledge this kind of abuse exists. Is there even a “survivors” network or support group to cope? I went to individual counseling, but it didn’t help me.

I think it would be helpful if society would acknowledge this kind of thing does happen.

I also think that those who offer premarital counseling should be required to discuss the warning signs of a sexual abuser. – THE EX MRS. BROWN

DEAR EX MRS. BROWN: It is interesting that this topic isn’t addressed more often because domestic violence can happen to anyone, and it shouldn’t be overlooked. No one has the right to coerce a partner into doing something she or he doesn’t want to do, whether it’s done through physical violence or relentless verbal abuse.

When there is forced sex in a marriage, the name for it is marital or spousal rape. Like any other kind of rape, it is not an act of love but a way of asserting control and dominance. If you contact the Rape, Abuse and Incest National Network (RAINN), it should be able to refer you to a support group for survivors. The toll-free number to call is 800.656.4673. (You can also find it online at rainn.org.)

Wine Women & Shoes

Wine Women & Shoes is a nationwide event and locally is held to benefit Family Scholar House. This year’s occasion will be held on March 4 at The Henry Clay and will feature, of course, wine from local and California purveyors, a fashion show and more. To get all the details, we chatted with Kellie A. Johnston, director of mission advancement for Family Scholar House.

What is Wine Women & Shoes?

Wine Women & Shoes is the brainchild of Napa Valley vintner Elaine Honig. While chatting with a girlfriend about the growing popularity of wine and food pairing events, they jokingly said, “Wine and shoe pairings would be a lot more fun!” Wine Women & Shoes events are now in 35 cities across the country and have raised more than $15,000,000 for women’s and children’s causes.

Wine Women & Shoes fundraisers partner charities such as Family Scholar House with wineries, shoe and accessory retailers, corporate sponsors and women leaders in the community. These events raise money and also raise awareness for us and provide a great community outreach opportunity for corporate sponsors. Wine Women & Shoes guests are key influencers and connectors in our community. These women are socially-conscious and community-minded women who are professionals, leaders and decision-makers, and men are welcome too!

form our community by empowering families and youth to succeed in education and achieve life-long self-sufficiency. Our outcomes reflect the success of our programs and participants and the positive impact on our Louisville community. To date, our participants have earned 242 college degrees. 100 percent of families have exited to stable housing, allowing all of their children to have a place to call home.

Wine Women & Shoes is the single largest annual fundraiser for Family Scholar House, and 100 percent of the proceeds from this event are used to provide educational programs and services for disadvantaged single parents and their children.

Now in its third year, how has the event grown over the years?

Wine Women & Shoes has become a premier event in Louisville with reservations selling out quickly this year. Since beginning our WW&S event in 2014, we have been delighted with the community’s response and enthu-

siasm for a fun evening for a great cause.

How do you hope the event changes in years to come?

Wine Women & Shoes has been a great success in Louisville, and it is key to raising the funds needed to provide our programs and services for disadvantaged and deserving families each year. We continue to make improvements to our signature spring event to keep it fresh, make it interesting and give our supporters even more reason to keep coming back. While we don’t want to give away any surprises for next year, we already have ideas in mind that we think our guests will enjoy.

Is it too late to get tickets?

A limited number of tickets are still available online at winewomenandshoes.com/louisville, as well as raffle tickets for the Keys-tothe-Closet $15,000 Von Maur shopping spree.

Get yours while they are still available. VT

What can guests expect at the event?

The event will take place on Friday, March 4 at The Henry Clay, and guests will be part of a fun and exclusive event that includes shopping local and national vendors in the marketplace, a live and silent auction where they can bid on many unique and exclusive packages and items, a high-energy fashion show provided by Von Maur, wine tastings by both local and California vintners and the chance to win a $15,000 Key-to-the-Closet shopping spree from Von Maur. With only 200 raffle tickets available, the odds are much better than the PowerBall!

Why is the event important for Family Scholar House and the Louisville community?

Family Scholar House serves over 3,000 single-parent families in the Louisville area. Our mission is to end the cycle of poverty and trans-

etween the debilitating cold of the polar vortex a few years ago and new, complicated and costly regulations for food trucks from the health department, Liz and Jesse Huot of Grind ended their food truck career and opened a brickand-mortar location on Preston before moving to NuLu at 829 E. Market St. last fall.

Grind opened their Preston location in early 2014, and while co-owner Liz Huot says she and her husband loved the location and neighborhood, “We couldn’t grow in that spot like we wanted to.” Meanwhile, Jesse says that the Preston store did Tastes have its advantages: “People in that neighborhood were always surprised BEN by how good our food was because GIERHART there wasn’t a lot in the area. We feel confident in the quality of our food, and we were encouraged to come out here. It’s a lot more competitive though.”

“We knew we could do a lot and not bust our budget. We felt like we could make it look like our own space,” says Liz on another reason why they chose this specific change in scenery.

Burgers remain the main attraction, and one would be remiss not to discuss those in detail. Liz was a vegan when she was first getting to know Jesse. She wanted to try eating meat again, but the

54

uneven texture of most low-quality meat products was proving to be a challenge. Jesse began hand-trimming anything that wasn’t muscle and frying it in a skillet to check for its viability. “If it turned into a crunchy ball, I threw it out,” he explains. This process evolved to the point where he could create uniform texture in his burgers consistently and is now the standard procedure at Grind.

The ways the burgers are dressed are almost as innovative. The B&B has brie cheese and habañero jam while the Southern burger has a sharp cheddar pimiento cheese, bacon and spicy dill pickles. It’s just familiar enough to not scare anyone off but also different enough to bring customers back for several trips, eager to sample yet another new take on a classic recipe. There’s also a delicious Asian pork sandwich that consists of miso and kombucha braised pork, kimchi and sesame kewpie mayo. The sides are well-portioned and tasty as well, including house fries, Brussels sprouts and a kale salad. Jesse is a fan of experimenting with spice and heat in his dishes with sides sauces of smoked habañero honey and a ghost chili mayo. There’s even a sauce called “The Food Ruiner” that Jesse concocted when he grew tired of spice aficionados claiming his food wasn’t all that hot.

In addition to the incredible food, there is a full bar and hefty beer selection. Signature cocktails, along with an alcoholic milkshake that simply

sounds divine, are in the works. “We really want to keep it simple though,” Jesse says.

“It’s a cheeseburger restaurant after all.”

The restaurant features an additional 1,000 square feet besides the main dining area. “We’ll add some booths, some televisions, a pool table or two,” Jesse says. “The back side is gonna be where you come hang out. It’s the place I’d wanna go hang out and watch basketball.”

In NuLu, “there really aren’t a lot of places you can go and hang out,” Jesse asserts. “There are not a lot of neighborhood places. We have USB ports and WiFi; I expect people to come in and have a long lunch, have a couple beers, and relax.”

The river was high during my visit to the Falls of the Ohio Interpretive Center, which recently re-opened after a massive upgrade.

Located on the riverfront in Clarksville, the beautifully designed center can’t be missed.

The interior lobby entrance has new suspended glass sculpture work leading up to the Mammoth skeleton emphasizing the prehistoric significance of The Falls.

This is where the Louisville side of the story picks up, and there is a tremendous amount of recent history lessons to obtain at the Portland Museum, located on Portland Avenue in one of Louisville’s oldest neighborhoods.

The Museum is a modern piece of architecture built into the restored Squire Earick House, and it houses relics of people who

made a home and a community when coming upon The Falls of the Ohio. Teresa Lee, the museum educator, showed me a map of the Ohio River and other images representing a time before the 1830 Canal allowed for easy passage.

“You even see it in prehistoric times. This is the one natural obstruction along the almost thousand miles of the Ohio River,” says Lee. “This is the one place where people had to stop. In Native American times, this was the nexus of a massive trading network. Whoever controlled the falls controlled the flow of resources.

“Portland was established ... in 1811, and it was a happening place. And it’s really interesting just to see the changes in the neighborhood because this really was a prominent neighborhood at one point. In 1937, after the flood, the original wharf was declared a park.

That’s when that area stopped being inhabited. There was never any rebuilding, and then when the floodwall went in, everything that was on the other side of the floodwall was raised. Basically, what you see is the historic

“One of the things we really tried to do with the new exhibits was to narrow down the focus,” says Interpretive Naturalist Jeremy Beavin, who works at the Center. “We had so many different stories in the old exhibits. We told the story of the Louisville Slugger and the Colgate factory, so we’ve really tried to focus it all down to four major themes.”

When you enter the first exhibit through the “time tunnel,” motion sensor sound effects respond to your entrance to let you know that you have entered “The Ancient Sea” of the Devonian period when everything was underwater. The next section – “The Changing Land” – explores the Ice Age, the shifting of land masses that formed the Ohio River and the earliest human inhabitants.

There is an architecture gallery, a chimney pot gallery, a sports history display of local legends and many archival photographs depicting important social gatherings of the working class. There’s even an animatronic figure representing Captain Mary Miller, the first female steamboat pilot.

In the restored house section of the museum, there is a rather grand room devoted to John James Audubon, the portrait

and wildlife painter.

Through my visits on this day, I learned so much about the evolutionary history connected with the water and land that surrounds it. I also learned a lot about our lost connection to the recent past.

Both of these institutions are great places that bring visitors closer to knowing about where we live and that significant section of river in the middle of it all. VT For more information, visit fallsoftheohio.org and goportland.org

ensures everyone always has a seat. A blanket made by one of our best friends hangs over the back of the couch, and a gold-accented mirror that was my grandmother’s sits on the mantle – too heavy to actually hang on the wall. A modern painting in shades of blue that was a gift from my father covers the wall, adding a polychromatic pop to a room otherwise very neutral.

When game night isn’t happening, you’re likely to find Charlie hard at work in his first-floor office, which features a corner desk and a window with a refreshing view of the city sidewalks below. Meanwhile, I’ll probably be in what we call the reading nook at the foot of the stairs. This area includes two chairs given to us by my parents that I detest but Charlie adores. Alas, compromises.

The upstairs is really just one large room, which has gone through a number of incarnations since we moved in last fall. We like it best as it currently is with our queen-soon-to-be-king bed right at the top of the stairs. The room then spills over into a wide open dressing area, where impromptu choreography reviews for shows we’ve been in have

But aside from the apartment’s interior, the location of the house itself couldn’t be better for us.

We are each less than 10 minutes away from our downtown offices, our gym and our rehearsal spaces, and we are situated right in the city’s most eclectic neighborhood. We’re fortunately far enough off

Baxter and Bardstown that we don’t get the noisy spillover on weekend nights but close enough that we can easily walk to Quill’s or Taco Luchador.

It really is the perfect place for us in every way.

But when something goes wrong – the heat shuts off or the lock on the door gets stuck – we have, I’d wager, the absolute best landlord in the city who always jumps on solving the problem, even if he’s on another continent. He makes everything easier and certainly undoes that antagonistic landlord ste-

We wanted a place to entertain, and we found it.

But more than that, we found a place both of us are proud to call home. We’ve worked together to make the space what it is, and while our insane schedules and lack of design knowledge have left it a little underwhelming in some ways, it’s exactly what the two of us wanted and a place we will cherish forever, even when we don’t live there anymore.

With temptation to see the broadly appealing “Zoolander 2” or even the progressive chickflick “How to be Single” over Valentine’s weekend, I shamefully decided to favor the guy-centric, comic violence-filled movie instead, with perfect trope-bashing voice-over narration by the film’s star Ryan Reynolds. That aspect just might rival Robert Downey Jr.’s in the very similar film,

Grow beyond that.”

Thomas Merton was a writer, poet, social activist and Trappist monk at The Abbey of Our Lady of Gethsemani near Bardstown for 27 years, and on January 31, 2016, what would have been his 101st birthday, the Frazier decided to open a new exhibit honoring him in partnership with Bellarmine University. His writing contemplated the nature of compassion and also commented on the issues of fair treatment, open housing, tolerance and the Civil Rights Movement of the ’60s. He is considered to be the most widely read modern spiritual writer in the world, and to commemorate Merton’s famous epiphany on compassion that occurred on Fourth and Walnut Streets in Louisville, Mayor Greg Fischer signed a resolution in 2011 committing to a multi-year Compassionate Louisville campaign – making Louisville an international compassionate city, the largest city in America with that distinction.

Merton died shortly before Helen and Irenaeus’ departures from their respective spiritual communities, and despite orders from his abbot, Irenaeus – serving as the monastery’s tailor at the time – could not bring himself to throw away the clothing of the man who taught him and Helen so much. The two kept numerous artifacts and clothing items hidden

in the home they built together, and after Irenaeus’ death in 2009, Helen finally decided that dedicating the clothing to the exhibit would be her small contribution back to the man who changed her life.

And that’s just one example of how Merton changed not only someone’s life but also the world.

During Pope Francis’ visit to the U.S. in September 2015, he praised the late Thomas Merton as one of four great Americans, calling him, “a promoter of peace between peoples and religions.” Peavler paraphrases one of her favorite never-before-published writings in the exhibit and says, “‘People are shining like the sun and don’t realize it.’ That was so moving to me. Who sits around and thinks about people all day anymore? Our society doesn’t work that way anymore. It doesn’t allow it. He did.” Go to the exhibit, and take the time to contemplate today.

The exhibit will be open through May 29. General admission: adults, $12; military, $10; seniors, $10; children/students (5-17 and college with I.D.) $8; children (4 and under) free; teachers (professional K-12 teachers in Kentucky and Indiana), free. VT The Frazier is open Monday-Saturday, 9 a.m.-5 p.m. and Sunday, noon-5 p.m. For more information, call 502.753.5663 or visit fraziermuseum.org.

At the opening, speakers read their favorite Merton passages, and guests got to look at clothing and items of Merton’s that, until recently, have been hidden away since his death in 1968, making a substantial part of the exhibit a collection of artifacts – including photographs taken by Merton himself, photographs of the spiritual leader taken by Kentucky photographer Ralph Eugene Meatyard, photographs taken by Courier-Journal photographers during the Civil Rights Movement in Louisville, personal clothing, correspondence between Merton and Coretta Scott King as well as voice recordings of Merton speaking about Martin Luther King Jr.’s death – that have never before been displayed to the public.

The story regarding how Merton’s clothing was discovered is particularly noteworthy. Helen Marie used to be a nun, and during her time in a convent in Brooklyn, she because enraptured by MerP H OTO C O U R T E S Y F R A Z I E R H I S TO R Y M U S E U M / R A L P H E U G E N E M E AT YA R D

PUZZLES

pets of the week Three-year-old Dakota is a sweet, loving Border Collie mix. She is soft and wiggly and has a playful spirit. Dakota loves all people and loves to be near them. She will need long walks and play time. This ball of energy would be a great running buddy. She could play fetch for as long as you wanted to play, and when playing is done, Dakota would love to curl up by your feet and chill. Dakota loves people so much that she doesn’t have any need for other pets in the house. She wants her people all to herself and is looking for a family where she can be their only love. She’s spayed, micro-chipped and up-to-date on her vaccinations. Come meet her today at the Kentucky Humane Society’s adoption center at the Hikes Point Feeders Supply, 3079 Breckenridge Lane.

Three-year-old Selvester is a big, beautiful black and white Domestic Longhair mix. He’s a little leery of strangers here in the shelter, but once he gets to know you, he’ll open up. Selvester would love a warm sunspot to nap in, and he needs someone who will be patient with him as he gets to know them. Could you be Selvester’s perfect match? He’s neutered, micro-chipped and up-to-date on his vaccinations. Come meet him at the Kentucky Humane Society’s Main Campus, 241 Steedly Drive.

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