It’s hard to imagine Derby time in the city without Thunder Over Louisville.

The largest annual pyrotechnics display in North America, this Saturday’s festivities on April 23 will mark the 27th year of Thunder. Although it’s undeniable that the event is widely known within the city, few likely know the origin of Thunder and how it came to be. Moreover, due to the event’s annual success and spectacle, it’s probable that just as few, if not fewer, give much thought to the nonstop action and organization that’s happening behind the scenes.

WE WENT

BIG

out of the gate, and we’ve maintained it at that level ever since. –Matt Gibson The idea of Thunder as Louisville knows it today was conceived in a Kentucky Derby Festival (KDF) board workshop. When Atlanta was preparing for its hosting of the 1996 Summer Olympics, the Festival paid attention. Michael Berry, president and CEO of KDF, recalls the team drawing inspiration from Atlanta – if they could plan an opening ceremonies, why couldn’t KDF? The Festival was already hosting the They’re Off! Luncheon to kick-off the season, but the team wanted a larger event that could involve the entire community.

So in 1990, the KDF held the first-ever Thunder Over Louisville at Cardinal Stadium. The next year, it moved to the waterfront, where it has taken place ever since. “We went big out of the gate, and we’ve maintained it at that level ever since,” contends Matt Gibson, senior vice president of events at KDF. Indeed, the KDF has been offering a world-class pyrotechnics display ever since the very first year of the event.

A P R I L 2 1 , 2 0 1 6 • V O I C E -T R I B U N E . C O M

While the fireworks have consistently been reliably spectacular, other aspects of the event have grown significantly. “Really, the whole process has grown – some things by design, some things by luck,” Berry relates. The airshow for example – an integral aspect of Thunder – was never even supposed to be a formal airshow. “We put some planes and banners in the sky and added a few things because people kept arriving for the fireworks so early, and we didn’t want them to create mischief,” Berry relates. “So we had to put something in the sky to keep them entertained.”

Now in 2016, the airshow is, in many regards, just as looked forward to as the fireworks, if not more so by some. Gibson asserts that every year there is actually an airshow crowd, which leaves once the planes clear the air; a fireworks crowd, which arrives later into the evening; and a Thunder crowd, which comes for the entire day.

er fireworks; high barometric pressure means smoke won’t dissipate as quickly; wind will prohibit some fireworks from fully expanding.

Interestingly, rain has little effect on the fireworks themselves.

Weather can also determine where some spectators choose to make camp for the day.

While Gibson admits that many are tradition-

alists who go to the same place every year, Berry describes a unique subculture of Thunder: “Then, there are the Thunder gypsies who follow the smoke.” They will check which direction the wind is blowing – if it’s blowing north, they'll watch from the Kentucky side, and if it’s blowing south, they’ll watch from the Indiana side.

No matter what visitors are coming for though, Gibson maintains that nature plays an enormous part in the actual realization of the big day. Beyond simply affecting when people arrive (i.e. worse weather yields a late crowd), there are several factors that go into determining not only the attendance but also the show itself. Cold weather means bright-

F e at u r e

Regardless of the position from where they’re watching, everyone can agree on the unparalleled nature of the event. For one, it’s entirely free if you want it to be. “This is something that makes Thunder very unique – this has got to be one of the largest free shows in the country,” Berry emphasizes. “Literally, if you want, you do not have to spend any money.”

Very few places are Pegasus Pin admission only, and while the the KDF encourages purchasing a pin, attendees are still welcome to enjoy the show without one."

Conversely, it can also be extraordinarily expensive. To get the truly awe-inspiring views of Thunder, be prepared to shell out hundreds for admission to certain rooftops and balconies.

“You have some people who are paying the big dollars to go to the VIP areas, and you have others who pack a picnic basket and come down with a blanket,” Berry affirms. The experience can be exactly what you want it to be.

But the show itself remains singular. It is designed by Pennsylvania-based company Zambelli Fireworks, and Wayne Hettinger, owner of Visual Presentations, is the show producer. And while staples of the event won’t go away – such as the waterfall of fireworks off the Clark Memorial Bridge – certain elements are often tweaked to pump up the show’s production value.

“We constantly have to try to do different things with what we have,” Berry explains.

“There may be times that you will see different effects on the bridge than you were used to seeing.” Last year, Gibson proudly recalls how the KDF invested in syncing the light system on the Big Four Bridge with the fireworks.

This year, however, Thunder is incorporating a very special brand-new element: music by the Louisville Orchestra – the inspiration for this year’s “No Strings Attached” theme. Despite what many have assumed, the Orchestra will not be playing live on the waterfront, for not only could the temperature affect the instruments but it would be near impossible to sync such a large scale pyrotechnics display with live music.

We constantly have to try to do

DIFFERENT THINGS with what we have.

There may be times that you will see different effects on the bridge than you were used to seeing.

–Michael Berry

But the presentation will be nonetheless spectacular. The music will range from Katy Perry to Michael Jackson and Metallica. Orchestra Music Director Teddy Abrams arranged every song specifically for the show, and the Orchestra recorded the set and sent it to Zambelli to match the fireworks with the music. This will be the first orchestral show Zambelli has produced where the music was A P R I L 2 1 , 2 0 1 6 • V O I C E -T R I B U N E . C O M

specifically arranged for the show.

In 2014, Abrams saw Thunder for the first time and instantly knew the Orchestra had to be involved, Berry relates. The following year, Abrams got a closer look at the sound operation and how the show syncs with the music. And now this year, his arrangements will be aligned with the largest fireworks show in North America. Consequently, Berry maintains that the Orchestra’s involvement has been a process that has lasted “every bit of two and a half years and a dream longer than that.”

While the event and all its production aspects will assuredly seem flawless to the public, it takes a staggering amount of people to produce the show. “It takes everybody to make this show happen,” Gibson insists. “Just about every metro government agency touches it.” However, as Berry contends, the biggest threat to the survival of Thunder – if there is one – is the finances of the event.

Thunder is literally a million dollar day for KDF, and the existence of its six presenting sponsors is the sole reason why it’s able to be produced in the magnitude it is each year. “We could say the Festival could not do Thunder, and it would save the Festival $1 million. But what are the costs to the community?” Berry poses. “Because we’ve now created another weekend you can’t get a hotel in downtown Louisville. And what about all the groups that do a fundraiser? What would the actual cost be if you ever had to pull a plug on this event?”

Fortunately, that’s not a question that anyone will have to answer any time soon thanks to the unmatched celebration Thunder brings to the city.

The crowd that attends each year is roughly six times larger than that which attends the Derby Gibson says. Indeed, he realtes, “The police always say it’s the safest night in Louisville because there’s no one creating problems in other areas!"

Last year was a small year for Thunder, with attendance around 575,000. The largest it’s ever been was in 2009 when it was pushing over 700,000, but the average attendance is roughly 650,000. And these people keep coming back year after year, which means the KDF must be doing something right. With this year’s incorporation of the Orchestra and the “Fantasia” element Berry says the event will see, Thunder is unabashedly a spectacle. And thanks to the support of the community and the generosity of its sponsors, it will be a spectacle Louisville will cherish for years to come.

TIPS AND TRICKS Of the Thunder Trade

by Wil Heuser

Thunder Over Louisville is the ultimate kickoff to the most exciting two weeks in Louisville. Since its birth in 1990, Thunder has grown to be the largest fireworks display in the country with one of the top five airshows kicking off the day. Thunder Over Louisville draws hundreds of thousands of people to the waterfront for a full day of food, entertainment and fun. Yes, Thunder is exhilarating, but it does come with its mountain of headaches. With the bumper-to-bumper traffic and the packed crowds, Thunder Over Louisville can easily turn into a nightmare.

Though I am no expert on the subject, I have experienced Thunder Over Louisville in a number of ways.

From the top of The Galt House to a boat on the Ohio River, I have learned some necessary "do's and don'ts" to obtain the perfect Thunder experience. While I won't part with all of my secrets, I'm happy to share some essential tips and tricks.

STAY AFTER THE FIREWORKS: It seems every year, once the renowned firework waterfall dissipates into the river, the crowds rush to escape the downtown area. Like a Walmart on Black Friday, people claw and scream to reach their cars, only to get caught in standstill traffic for hours. The solution? Hang around and enjoy downtown Louisville. An hour or two after the show, the traffic clears up and you can breeze on home.

PARK AND WALK: Finding parking on Thunder day can be expensive and exhausting. Parking a few miles outside of the downtown area will save you

LAST DAY

BAXTER AVENUE PEAK: On Bax6 ter Avenue, in between Payne and Hull Streets, hides a perfect spot to view Thunder Over Louisville. While you don't get a full view of the waterfront, it's still a unique way to experience Thunder.

Enjoy the bars, restaurants and shops in The Highlands without getting mixed up in the downtown crowds.

PITCH A TENT: Camp out on the waterfront. This is a great way to enjoy the festivities and avoid the hassles. Spaces fill up fast, so arrive early in the day to get a prime viewing spot. Bring your own food and drink, or splurge at the Chow Wagon.

BIKE: Louisville is an extremely 9 bike-friendly city. With new bike lanes opening on the daily, hopping on your bike and spinning to the waterfront is a great way to enjoy the Thunder festivities. Caution: Make sure to wear reflective gear and follow the rules of the road – and watch out for drivers suffering from road rage.

DON'T WATCH IT FROM HOME: Thunder Over Louisville is one of the most fun events of the year. It's a true celebration of Louisville culture and one heck of a party. Don't miss out by thinking it's more trouble than it's worth. Heed these tips and you're sure to have a ThunGET ON A BOAT: I have only der to remember.

8 watched Thunder this way once and would never do it again for fear of drowning. If you are up for a daring adventure, however, throw on a life vest and cruise down the Ohio River to the downtown bridges via boat. If the weather is nice, experiencing Thunder this way is breathtaking. You literally have front row seats. Apply my first tip to this experience, and instead of crowds, you'll have waves and out-ofcontrol boaters to contend with. Chill out Don't forget your 2016 Kentucky for a while, then sail back to dock.

Profile

Thunder is one of the most anticipated events. Every year, it just keeps getting more powerful. For me, it's a joy to take my kids, who are both 7 years old, to see the show and take part in the festivities. Last year, I got to fly with the Thunderbirds. I got so sick! Like, four times sick, but it was amazing. Having that experience, I have a better understanding and appreciation for the airshow.

Shannon Cogan News Anchor at WAVE 3 News

One of my favorite memories of Thunder was actually traveling to a small town in Pennsylvania where they make the fireworks at the Zambelli Headquarters. To see the work and craftsmanship that goes into making the fireworks was really cool. It's fascinating how it all comes together.

A Mixed Year in the Pros for Cal’s Cats

ed break-out season – averaging 24.3 points a game for New Orleans but, again, missing 20 games due to injury. He’s still considered the game’s rising superstar, but he can’t seem to stay completely healthy.

Michael Kidd-Gilchrist played only seven games for Charlotte, though he averaged 12.7 once he got back from a season-long injury. He, too, has been hobbled throughout his pro career, missing 130 games in four seasons.

STEVE KAUFMAN

Maybe, by the time you read this, you’ll know where Bolden is going to spend his year of college. The kid from Texas said to USA Today, “I know I’m going to get better wherever I go, but the way Kentucky develops their guys [for the NBA] is unbelievable.”

Since Bolden brought it up, let’s see how Cal’s Kids did in the recently completed 201516 NBA season.

CLASS OF 2010 Hard to believe these guys have been out of school for six years.

John Wall had, perhaps, his finest season for the Washington Wizards, a career-high 19.9 points a game and 10.2 assists.

In a season dogged by yet more controversy, DeMarcus Cousins managed a career-best 27.1 scoring average and 11.5 rebounds a game for Sacramento.

Patrick Patterson has become a valuable backup at Toronto, playing more than 2,000 minutes off the bench, averaging seven points and four rebounds.

Eric Bledsoe was averaging 20.4 a game for the Phoenix Suns before a December injury wiped out the last 50 games of his season.

2011 Enes Kanter has become a key big man for the powerful Oklahoma City Thunder, the third-leading scorer (12.7) and second-leading rebounder, despite coming off the bench.

Toward the end of the year, he had a 33-point 20-rebound night against Portland.

Brandon Knight had an injury-filled season at Phoenix. He was averaging nearly 20 points a game before a sports hernia injury, which had already cost him some games, ended his season for good in early April.

2012 Anthony Davis did not have his expectA P R I L 2 1 , 2 0 1 6 • V O I C E -T R I B U N E . C O M

Terrence Jones has been another injury-plagued member of this star-crossed Kentucky draft class. After becoming a solid starter for the Houston Rockets in 2013-14, he suffered a strange nerve inflammation that cost him nearly all of the following season.

This year, a concussion, a lacerated eyelid, an automobile accident and respiratory illness limited him to 50 games, averaging 21 minutes and 9 points a game.

2013 As a most-of-the-time starter, Nerlens Noel had a mostly productive year for the woeful Philadelphia 76ers, averaging 11 points a game and a string of double-doubles. His season ended on a strange note, though. He was sued for trashing the home he was renting.

Archie Goodwin seemed, finally, to find an NBA home in Phoenix, after riding D-League buses for two years. He played 57 games, even started 13 and averaged 20 minutes and 6.2 points a game.

2014 Julius Randle had a solid rookie season for the Lakers, quietly averaging 11 points a game during Kobe Bryant’s year-long farewell tour. Back from the injury that wiped out his true rookie year, Randle started 60 of 81 games, averaging 28 minutes a game and 10.2 rebounds

26

2015 Karl-Anthony Towns, Cal’s third No. 1 pick, looks like he’ll be Cal’s first UK Rookie of the Year. (Cal’s Memphis stars, Derrick Rose and Tyreke Evans, were back-toback ROYs in 2009 and 2010.) Towns had an ominously good first season for the Minnesota Timberwolves, averaging 18.3 points and 10.4 rebounds a game.

Willie Cauley-Stein came on strong for the Sacramento Kings, starting 39 games and averaging 7 points and 5.3 rebounds, though missing 12 games in December.

Trey Lyles had a mostly respectable rookie season with Utah, starting 33 of 80 games, averaging 17 minutes and 6 points a game. His productivity picked up considerably in March. He averaged 10 points a game over the last 22 games.

Devin Booker’s solid performance was considered a surprise everywhere but in the commonwealth. He averaged 14 points a game as a Phoenix rookie, becoming an every-night starter in December.

The 2016 returns aren’t in yet, but Davis was first team All-Pro in 2015.

Cousins was second team. Davis, Wall and Cousins were each chosen for this year’s AllStar Game. And look for Towns, Lyles, Booker and Cauley-Stein to populate the 2015-16 All-Rookie teams.

Finally, Patterson, KiddGilchrist, Kanter and Jones are headed for the NBA playoffs. Maybe another chance to polish up their silver – not to mention Cal’s brass. VT PHOTOS BY VICTORIA GRAFF

A year some evolving from the quarterMIKE later, he’s UofL’s unquesRUTHERFORD back this offseason in order for the tioned starting quarterback, @cardchronicle Cardinal offense to get fully back to where it expects to be in the one of the most exciting coming years. It certainly appears returning players in college football as if Jackson has taken at least the first few and a dark horse candidate to win the large steps in that process.

Heisman Trophy.

pairs of eyes watched Lamar Jackson establish himself as not just the future of Louisville football but a breakout national star in 2016.

That last attribute isn’t just the product of a Cardinal fan drunk with offseason delirium. Jackson is on the Heisman Trophy big board in Las Vegas, and he’s been labeled as a sleeper candidate for the most vaunted individual award in college sports by ESPN, CBS, Yahoo and others this offseason.

Buzz is a big deal in college football, and thanks to Lamar Jackson, people are buzzing about Louisville again. VT

The Lamar hype train only picked up steam after last week’s spring game, in which the rising sophomore completed 24 of 29 passes for 519 yards with eight touchdowns and no interceptions. He also accumulated those numbers despite playing just one series in the second half.

“What I liked was his decision-making,” Louisville Head Coach Bobby Petrino said about his signal caller’s performance. “I usually stay on the field during spring games, but I tried to stay off the field so he’d have to make all the decisions on his own, and he did. We’re already a better passing team right now than we were at any point last season.”

Jackson’s video game numbers come with the obvious caveat that they were produced in a glorified scrimmage where there was no pass rush and where the first team Louisville offense was going up against was an obviously over-matched second team defense. Obviously, the numbers don’t mean as much as any of the ones he’ll put up in actual games this fall, or, perhaps, even as much as the ones he put up during a scrimmage against his first team defense earlier in the week.

Having said that, Jackson’s spring game performance isn’t completely devoid of significance.

A season ago, Louisville fans saw a true freshman quarterback playing almost entirely on instinct alone. He had a general grasp P H OTO B Y D A M O N AT H E R TO N

Jackson wasn’t perfect in the spring game, but he was awfully close. Not only did he make the highlight throw on more than one occasion but he also showed a newfound ability to go through his progressions and make the short, accurate throw to pick up a small chunk of yards when his primary read wasn’t open.

That may seem like a small thing, but it won’t be once the Cards are lining up against the likes of Clemson and Florida State in September and October.

On his way to carrying UofL to a 27-21 win over the Aggies, Jackson became just the third quarterback in college football history to throw and run for more than 200 yards in a bowl game. The other two? Heisman Trophy winner Johnny Manziel and Heisman Trophy runner-up Vince Young.

That performance was essentially Jackson’s introduction to college football’s national conversation, a conversation that now includes the fact that he threw for almost 500 yards in the first half of his spring game. It might not be the biggest deal in the world, but it’s also more than nothing.

The other thing that Jackson’s gaudy spring game accomplished was further capture the attention of the college football world, a process that began last December.

It was then that the Cardinals became the first team in 2015 to topple an SEC West opponent in a bowl game, a feat they accomplished in front of 5.4 million television viewers, making the Music City Bowl one of the most-watched sporting events of the holiday season.

L.J. Scott (27) neared the end zone ahead of Zykiesis Cannon (24).

Every year, UofL offers a public springtime scrimmage to whet Cards fans’ appetites for the season proper in the fall. Divided into Red and White teams, Lamar Jackson and Kyle Bolin acted as QB respectively. Right out of the gate on the opening drive, Evan O’Hara made a 27-yard field goal. In the second quarter, Jackson made a spectacular throw resulting in an 85-yard touchdown to James Quick that went about 60 yards in the air, ending the half with a score of Red 52-0 and bringing his total of throws-to-touchdowns to seven in the first half alone. Ethan Horton walked on as QB for the White team at the top of the half and handed off to Malin Jones for White’s first touchdown of the game. Finally, Bolin switched in for Jackson – ending his day 24-for-29 for 519 yards and with eight touchdowns – and scored another touchdown for the Red team, ending the game 66-7. While the teams may not have been exactly evenly matched, it was a nonetheless exciting taste of what next season has in store.

Drew Barker hands off to Mikel Horton during the open practice.

Making the Most of Spring UK football wrapped up their spring game last Saturday. The Blue team beat the White 30-21 in the annual Blue-White scrimmage at Commonwealth Stadium. Sophomore quarterback Drew Barker completed 12 of his 18 passes for 156 yards and two touchdowns with an interception. The performance was enough for UK Head Coach Mark Stoops to declare Barker the starter heading into the summer. Eddie Gran is the Cats’ third offensive coordinator in the last three seasons. Along with Barker, Gran has some depth at running back. Freshman Sihiem King impressed, rushing for 84 yards and a touchdown. He’ll battle for playing time with returnees JoJo Kemp, Mikel Horton and Stanley “Boom” Williams. Williams did not participate in contact drills this spring after having elbow surgery.

What were your impressions of the game?

that’s just bad. Peyton Manning, Tom Brady – those guys are watching more film than anybody, and they’re considered the greatest of all-time.

So you just have to have that drive to keep going.

Eddie Gran: You know what? I was glad that nobody got hurt. You always come out of the spring and you want to make sure that everybody is healthy.

Gran: I think each week, he got better. I really do. In those four or five weeks, he just kept continuing to get better, and Stephen Johnson is pushing him. I think that helped more than anything else and Stephen is still competing for that job, but going out of the spring, Drew is our starting quarterback. He earned it, and it’s wonderful to have a guy like that behind him.

What does it mean to you to be named the starter heading into the summer?

Drew Barker: It’s a great feeling, but you’ve just got to keep your foot on the gas. I’m not going to treat it any different. I’m just going to go out there and keep trying to get better every day.

What is different about the new offense?

JoJo Kemp: A lot of guys are a lot more mature.

We just want to win. We’ve got that focus and that mentality that we just want to win for our teammates, our fans and everyone around us.

What did you see from Drew Barker this spring to give you confidence that he can run this offense?

Kemp: I have faith in all the quarterbacks. It’s great to hear that he’s the starter, but we’re going to keep on riding both the quarterbacks because you never know when you’ll get a chance to get in the game. We want to treat all of them like they’re our starters and just keep fighting.

You have a talented stable of running backs. How do you all stay happy?

Kemp: It’s all about winning when it comes to me. Whenever you get your opportunity, you’ve just got to make the best of it. Obviously, we can’t give all of us the ball at one time – that would be a nice play, but it can’t work. You just stay ready; you never know when your number is going to be called, and when you get the ball in your hands, you just have to make the most of the opportunity. VT PHOTO BY VICTORIA GRAFF

A

s a foreshadowing of a soon-to-be rivalry, Brad Calipari, son of Kentucky Head Coach John Calipari, and Bullitt East senior Tyler Sharpe guarded each other before a crowd of 4,017 last Friday night in the 44th Annual Kentucky Derby Festival Basketball Classic at Freedom Hall.

High School Sports Report

RANDY WHETSTONE JR.

Calipari, a 6-foot, 190-pound guard, will be playing next season for his dad at the University of Kentucky. Calipari played his final two seasons of high school basketball at MacDuffie School in Massachusetts. Prior to that, he began his career at Lexington Christian Academy.

Sharpe, a 6-foot-1, 175-pound lefty, will be walking on at Louisville next season to play under Rick Pitino. Sharpe – who was also the sixth region player of the year this season as well as a Mr. Basketball finalist – led Bullitt East to a 27-6 season while averaging 19.5 points and 4.3 rebounds a game.

They had the chance to display their talents before UofL and UK fans alike in an All-Star game event that featured the Top 100 players ranked nationally.

“It meant a lot definitely,” says Sharpe. “I grew up watching the event. It was a great chance to play with some of the top players in the nation.”

Calipari echoes the sentiment: “It was an honor to be able to play here. It was a great experience all around.”

It was perhaps the biggest platform the two have played on throughout their respective basketball journeys.

Sharpe, who is normally a marksman shooter, unfortunately was not able to find the mark in the contest. He took six shots, three of them 3-pointers, but didn’t put the ball in the basket.

Nonetheless, he enjoyed the weekend saying, “It was a lot of fun. The guys were great, and it was a lot of fun to get to know some of them. It will be exciting to keep up with some of them the next couple of years.”

Now joining the list of other UofL walk-ons, Sharpe has watched the careers of Tim Henderson and David Levitch, particularly in regards to how they have made an impact on the Louisville program. His primary concern at this point is to find his spot and write his own chapter for the school for which he always dreamed of playing.

“Work ethic and [being] a consistent 3-point shooter,” Sharpe said when asked what he thinks he can bring to Louisville. “I am always going to play my hardest so I can contribute with any opportunity they give me.”

Sharpe met all his future teammates when he went on his visit. He looks forward to joining forces with Quentin Snider and Raymond Spalding, guys he played against in high school. But until he touches down on campus, he says he is focused on finishing up high school.

On the other end of the spectrum, you have a guy who some would say is in over his head.

Calipari sought to use the All-Star game as a platform to “show the fans that I am able to play basketball at a high level with other kids who can

also play at the next level and even the NBA.” Calipari certainly was offered a glimpse of the talent he will be going up against in practice once he becomes a Wildcat in the KDF Basketball Classic. He admits that the size of the gym created some anxiety, but once the game started, he was able to settle in. He took seven shots, three of which were 3-pointers, and finished with 9 points.

He knows shooting will be his primary role for Kentucky if he sees the floor: “There are only a few guys who can shoot the ball like me, so there would be a spot for me anywhere really.”

In his college decision-making, there weren’t any Division I schools showing interest in Calipari, which left him only with options in Division II or III. But for him, the competition at UK is what drew him. Oh, and when your dad is the coach, anything is possible right?

“It was the opportunity,” Brad said when asked what appealed to him about going to UK. “Kentucky had better opportunities. It was me playing against better competition. Because you got to think in practice, every day you’re going against ridiculous athletes who are the best players in the nation. So every day, you are getting better regardless.”

By being a coach’s son, Brad says he will still have to work diligently and persistently on a Coach Cal team that lands the biggest recruits nationally each year.

He believes by playing in the Nike EYBL, where he averaged 3.0 points in 10.2 minutes last summer, along with playing a couple of pickup games with former UK players and Coach Cal products in John and Brandon Knight, both whom are now in the NBA, he will help prepare himself for the next level.

“I am going to come in every day to work hard and to show that I can play at that level,” he says.

“I’ve got to earn my minutes.”

Many would argue that John Calipari has exhibited, perhaps, some nepotism toward his son and soon-to-be player. Brad, though, expects to be treated just like his other teammates.

“People have their doubts,” he adds. “A lot of people think things are handed to me because of my dad. But he doesn’t treat me like that. He makes me earn everything. Things he has given me I’ve had to earn from him.”

It will be interesting to see how well the two do in the next coming years. Who knows? Four years from now, Sharpe and Calipari just may guard each other once again, only this time it will be as Cards and Cats. VT V O I C E -T R I B U N E . C O M • A P R I L 2 1 , 2 0 1 6

Calipari and Sharpe to Walk-On as Cats and Cards

Unbeaten Kentucky Oaks favorite Songbird, shown in a victory in the Santa Anita Oaks, was declared out of consideration for the race following the development of a low-grade fever.

Derby, Oaks Changes: More to Come as Clock Ticks

T

he lesson is reinforced year after year, but that doesn’t make it any easier to understand or less jarring when misfortune arises late on the journey to Churchill Downs and the renewals of the $2 million Kentucky Derby Presented

by Yum! Brands and the $1 million Longines Kentucky Oaks.

Horse Sense JOHN ASHER

Rare is the year that there is not a defection of a significant contender late in the game. Sometimes that has a major impact on the running and, quite possibly, the results of the Derby or Oaks. With fewer than three weeks to go before those races, this week provided a shot of drama for both events.

The most startling news, and the story with the most significant impact, was the setback that knocked the unbeaten Songbird, an overwhelming favorite for the Kentucky Oaks, out of this year’s 142nd running.

A P R I L 2 1 , 2 0 1 6 • V O I C E -T R I B U N E . C O M

Fox Hill Farm’s fabulous 2-year-old filly champion and emphatic winner of the Breeders’ Cup Juvenile Fillies – and all seven of her races – was knocked out of Kentucky Oaks consideration by what trainer Jerry Hollendorfer called a low-grade fever. A statement from owner Rick Porter’s farm said the fever arose after Songbird’s easy win in the Santa Anita Oaks and that the star filly started a course of antibiotics.

She was expected to miss another seven to 10 days of training, and timing of the ailment ruled out a run in the Oaks.

“It never got to be a high temperature, and we think she's going to be fine, but we don't want her to train right now, so that's why we'll miss the Oaks,” Hollendorfer told Bloodhorse.com. “You know what matters the most? Taking care of Songbird.”

With Songbird on the sidelines, the May 6 Oaks looms as a wide-open race sure to have a full starting gate of 14 3-year-old fillies.

In the absence of Songbird, the likely Kentucky Oaks favorite is the Todd Pletcher-trained Rachel’s

32

Valentina, a daughter of 2009 Kentucky Oaks winner and Horse of the Year Rachel Alexandra.

Southern California-based Land Over Sea, who had lost five consecutive races to Songbird, earned respect for herself and Songbird when she shipped to New Orleans to romp in the Fair Grounds Oaks.

Weep No More trainer Rusty Arnold’s romantically-named winner of Keeneland’s Grade I Ashland – the never worse-than-second East Coast heroine Lewis Bay – and trainer Dale Romans’ unbeaten Go Maggie Go should also have their supporters. Additionally, two-time Kentucky Oaks-winning trainer Steve Asmussen could have the field surrounded with four Oaks hopes at this point: Terra Promessa, Taxable, Royal Obsession and Nickname.

As a spectator event and betting proposition, the 2016 Kentucky Oaks figures to be a wonderful show. But a running of America’s top race for 3-year-old fillies with possible superstar Songbird as the main attraction would have been very special.

Here’s hoping that all future news for Rick Porter, Jerry Hollendorfer and all of those who are close to Songbird is good, and that she’ll return to top form soon.

The first, second and third-place finishes at Oaklawn Park – Creator, Suddenbreakingnews and Whitmore – all secured spots in the Kentucky Derby field with their runs. The hard-luck Mo Tom, a stretch-runner who has encountered traffic moments in most of his races that have cost him precious points, was momentarily on the outside of the Kentucky Derby looking in. But trainer Tom Amoss’ colt crept back into the Derby field when the four-time Kentucky Derby-winning trainer Bob Baffert ruled his Cupid, 10th as the favorite in the Arkansas Derby, out of a run at Churchill Downs on the first Saturday in May because of a breathing problem.

The field for the Kentucky Derby has been assembling slowly at Churchill Downs, but that pace will pick up in the next few days. Among those making a favorable early impression on the Churchill Downs track are Mohaymen, coming off his first career loss in a fourth-place finish to a loss to Derby favorite Nyquist in the Florida Derby, and Tom’s Ready, who has worked well at the home of the Derby for trainer Dallas Stewart. Stewart’s last two Kentucky Derby bids have resulted in long shot runners-up Golden Soul (34-1) in 2013 and Commanding Curve (37-1) in 2014.

Japan-based Lani has, despite some quirky behavior, impressed observers in some of his trips over the track.

But the most impressive of the early arrivals has been the Steve Asmussen-trained Gun Runner, whose major training effort this week was a best-ofthe-day five-furlong move in 1:00 over a fast Churchill Downs surface Monday morning.

Asmussen is an extremely skilled, but always cautious, trainer. His horses – no matter how talent-

ed they may be – rarely display brilliance in their morning works. He even managed to slow down the brilliantly fast Rachel Alexandra in her training after she joined his barn following her 20 ¼-length Kentucky Oaks in 2009.

A work like Gun Runner’s dazzler on Monday is unusual for an Asmussen trainee and should be taken as a good sign. I’ve mentioned in recent weeks that he was one of four likely Derby starters that raced in last fall’s Kentucky Jockey Club Stakes at Churchill Downs.

Gun Runner has done nothing wrong since that race but could get overshadowed by Nyquist and other members of this competitive Derby field when the betting windows open and decision time arrives.

With just over two weeks to go before the big race, Gun Runner is doing as well as a Kentucky Derby contender could hope to be. If all continues to go well, it would likely be a mistake to forget about him before the field breaks from the starting gate in Kentucky Derby 142. VT

There was never going to be a case in which the starting gate for the Kentucky Derby would be less than full – at least at the time of entry. That situation was not changed last weekend when the Grade I Arkansas Derby and the Grade III Lexington Stakes at Keeneland wrapped up the scoring in the 2016 Road to the Kentucky Derby prep race point standings.

DEAR ABBY: When my friend became pregnant, her boyfriend didn’t stick around to be in the baby’s life. The three of us had gone to school together, and they started dating years later. When she asked me to be the child’s godmother, I said yes. The baby is 5 months old now.

While I was out at a bar recently, I ran into the boyfriend. My friend is now mad at me because I said hello to him. She thinks I should have ignored him, given him a dirty look or had words with him in public, but that’s not me.

She ends up staying with me most of the time because I live closer to where we both work.

work to recover from an illness seems to be viewed as weakness. We have sick days, but they are proud of the fact that they don’t use them.

I recently found out that she has been Airbnb-ing her condo a lot of the weekends when she stays with me. I feel taken advantage of even though it doesn’t really affect me whether her place is empty or she’s getting rent.

These coworkers wear their illnesses like badges of honor – as if coming to work sick somehow shows their dedication. I feel it is inconsiderate to the children and to other staff members who are forced to spend hours with them in enclosed spaces exposed to their germs.

What is the etiquette on such an arrangement? Should I be getting a cut?

What should I do? – CONFUSED GODMOTHER DEAR CONFUSED: Frankly, I think you should take this vindictive individual at her word until she apologizes. If you do as I suggest, there will be far less turmoil and drama in your life.

••• DEAR ABBY: My girlfriend and I each own our homes and have about the same mortgage payment.

DEAR WEEKEND ROOMIES: There is no rule of etiquette governing whether you’re entitled to some of the income she receives from renting out her place while she’s visiting you.

A Unique American Dream

S

tanding in the home of Daniel Miles in Fisherville, you wouldn’t realize it’s in the middle of a cul-de-sac. That’s because the back deck and windows look out onto an expansive backyard with a full line of privacy trees. This was an architectural decision Miles made with Louisville-known

Homes NICHOLAS SIEGEL

builder Vince Kimbel, owner of Kimbel Construction.

Indeed, no small amount of thought went into the architectural decisions necessary to build this highly energy efficient home.

“This house is a made-in-America home with 90-plus percent made-in-America products in it,

which is unique,” Miles explains. “It’s an extremely energy efficient home and has an energy rating of 33 ... We’re 67 percent more efficient than the average home built today.”

In fact, Miles often gets surprised reactions when he tells people that the 5,000 square-foot home averages a utility bill of $196 a month, which is cheaper than what it takes to heat and cool most homes half its size. This level of energy efficiency took careful planning.

Insulated with spray foam, the home features low-energy tinted widows, zoned geothermal climate control from a single unit, high-efficiency particulate air (HEPA) filters to increase the air quality and a wide open floor plan with no columns thanks to the steelwork.

To the left of the main entrance is an office with built-in bookshelves, and past the office is the main living room area, which opens into a kitchen and an eat-in under a coffered ceiling to substitute for a full dining room. The living room is lit by a two-way gas fireplace that can also be used out on the back deck.

The deck itself has a second-story screenedin area and an outdoor area, with steps leading down to a lower deck with two hanging swing benches. The custom-built railing features a fleurs-de-lis decoration, and in the screened portion of the deck, Miles has recycled a railroad tie for use as a shelf. “I put steel brackets in here that are flush-mounted, so we cut grooves in the wood on the back side and mounted steel brackets to the wall and hung it on the steel brackets so it looks like its floating,” Miles says. The effect is stunning.

island for cooking and eating and leads into a walk-in closet, walk-in pantry, laundry room and three-car garage. The garage is separated by a set of stairs for a his-and-hers design.

The master bedroom, which stays dark for lack of windows by the bed, is also on the main floor. The bathroom has a dual vanity separated into two identical sections and a communal storage area in the middle. Above the soaker tub is an art glass window featuring a fleurde-lis, and the walk-in shower has three shower heads. The bathroom leads into a walk-in master closet, and Miles explains that because

of the amount of storage the closet provides, having furniture in the main room was a purely aesthetic decision.

Back in the main area, past a half bath is a set of wide-railed stairs leading to the second floor of the home. At the top of the stairs is a built-in shelf separating two bedrooms connected by a Jack-and-Jill bathroom. Each room features a central bedroom area as well as an office area.

LIFE

Sorrell has been in the industry for roughly 20 years, learning from different chefs around town.

His training, along with owner John Dant’s trust in him, are what has allowed him to create different specials almost every day that demonstrate his own technique as well as his knowledge of his clientele’s palate. In fact, The Back Door is about to add a few new items to its menu, some of which have been past specials.

Sorrell is especially excited about one particular item that many, many customers will be equally delighted to see added: boneless wings. “They’re in very high demand,” he contends of the soon-tobe menu item. “I’ve been working here part-time for about three and a half years, and ever since I started, people have been asking for them. And any time we get some in and run them as a special, they sell like hotcakes.”

Another upcoming addition to the menu is a barbecue pulled pork sandwich. Sorrell explains that it’s important to have different dishes on the menu that cater to The Back Door’s distinct crowds.

Early in the evening, he says, a slightly older crowd tends to order the club sandwich, the fish sandwich and soups. Meanwhile, later at night, the younger crowd usually sticks to the fried items and more sharable offerings.

of late has implemented a late-night menu that’s a bit more scaled down to the eatery’s best-sellers and dishes it specifically wants to promote. But regardless of whether you show up for that menu or the full one, you’re sure to find exactly what you’re looking for. “It’s a big menu and pretty balanced with something for everyone – from salads to the cheesy, bacony everything and everything in between,” Sorrell laughs.

To capitalize on this pattern, The Back Door as

ing. An intricate knot is made at the point where the individual feels comfortable being suspended.

The length above the knot is called the pull and the length below is the tail. My knot is appropriately low to the ground.

On the silks, I learn to balance myself on the knot and perform a rudimentary pose called “Archer’s Pose.” It involves balancing yourself on one foot, leaning most of your weight against one length of silks and extending your remaining leg to create tension on the other silk, similar to a drawstring on a bow. I tried other poses as well, even going so far as to suspend myself while upside down and spinning myself !

As I became more comfortable and confident, I found myself burning through exercises on a number of different apparatuses.

I learned how to mount a trapeze – yes, trapeze, like in the circus – as well as a lyra, basically a large steel ring. Mounting the lyra was especially taxing as it is made of solid steel, and even all the cushioning in the world can only do so much for my un-calloused hands.

Ironically, however, it was the lyra that I picked up the easiest. “The lyra loves you!” exclaimed Courtney after I successfully performed a pose called “Man on the Moon,” which involves contorting your

body into a shape reminiscent of a Mockingjay pin from “The Hunger Games.”

After somewhat gracefully getting myself to the ground – “More gracefully than you think!” – my instructor informed me that we’ve gone through all the exercises that she had planned for me today.

She had scheduled an hour, but in a turn of events that surprised no one more than me, I was able to pick up on things relatively quickly. For the remaining time, I learned the basics of acro-balancing, an activity that involves balancing the weight or being balanced by another person.

“You did really well today. You mounted a lot, and I’m proud of you,” said Courtney, pretty much the world’s greatest and most sincere cheerleader.

As she leads me in a series of cool-down stretches, I was able to think back on my brief but jampacked time at Suspend: I liked it. I really liked it.

Never before had I felt like I had utilized more of my body than I had in that one session, and most importantly, it didn’t feel like a workout. It was just fun. I’m thinking of taking some more classes (listing at suspendlouisville.com), and if I, of all people, can do that, you can too. VT

With “Krisha” – a movie with no famous faces, glamour or feel-good tone – there is just about nothing going for it except for its being a great movie. This festival favorite is about an aging mess of a woman struggling with sobriety in the upscale home of her sister on Thanksgiving. The movie manages to balance skillful cinematic techniques with a brutally realistic setting in the same way “Requiem for a Dream” did. The family gathering portrays suburban normalcy as a world of inescapable anxiety through brilliant sound mixing and editing.

The film is so good at being true to itself that it has every reason to struggle in finding a wide audience, even though it will most likely engage anyone who bothers seeing it.

fused” called “Everybody Wants Some” is supposed to be a reflection on male-centric college life in the early 1980s. I’m also looking forward to the horrifyingly gruesome thriller from Jeremy Saulnier called “Green Room” about a punk band that plays a skinhead venue out of desperation for money and then falls under grave threat from a white supremacist leader played by Patrick Stewart.

Despite the good movies I saw over the week, my movie-going life continues to feel deprived of a movie-going culture. I’ve said it so many times: Nearly any movie is better seen on the big screen. Get out there folks. I believe in you. VT

I can’t quite say the same of Jeff Nichols’ “Midnight Special,” a science-fiction film with a relentlessly dark tone that is only likely to engage hardcore fans of the genre, such as myself. Nichols regular Michael Shannon plays against type in this thriller about a father on the run with a child, played by Jaeden Lieberher, who possesses powers that have captured the interest of a religious commune as well as the government.

It’s funny that in my review of Nichols’ excellent previous film, “Mud,” I jokingly compared it to “E.T.” where “Midnight Special” feels like a dark extended version of the third act to Spielberg’s classic movie.

Adam Driver, Joel Edgerton, Bill Camp, David Jenson, Sam Shepard and Kirsten Dunst all make excellent supporting characters in a story that may be escapist but stays true to the Southern, rural, blue-collar atmosphere, which is a constant in Nichols’ work.

This year’s score is provided by none other than the Louisville Orchestra, a symphonic powerhouse that has enjoyed a recent renaissance thanks in no small part to Teddy Abrams, recipient of Louisville’s Awards in the Arts’ inaugural Bittners Arts Innovation Award. “I knew from the first time I came to Louisville I felt an immediate, powerful and positive connection with this city, and that initial chemistry grew as I began working with the Orchestra’s wonderful musicians. These exceptionally talented players have an intense desire and commitment to both the highest level of music-making and to building deep ties with the Louisville community,” says Abrams, appreciative of the fact that despite his amazing efforts and qualifications, it’s also the other musicians in the Orchestra as well as the Louisville community that have created all the success.

Speaking of the community, Executive Director of the Louisville Orchestra Andrew Kipe is aware of just how vital this relationship is. “We made a conscious decision that we needed to redefine what it means to be an orchestra in the 21st century. And it’s going to be different for a mid-sized orchestra in a regional city than it is for the Chicago Symphony or the New York Philharmonic. What we’ve been really focusing on is how do we engage with the community in a way that is relevant and exciting and meaningful to folks, in a way that is hasn’t been in a long time?” poses Kipe. It seems that their answer to this question is simply being in the community more and showing up in unexpected places, one such place being Thunder Over Louisville.

“In one of the first meetings when I got to town back in November of 2013, I went to PHOTO COURTESY OF CHRIS WITZKE

music is fun and upbeat and stuff like that, but the masterworks as the background for this is something that is really going to blow people away.” Abrams agrees: “There are going to be a lot of people who simply don’t know how good their own orchestra is, so this will be the opportunity for them to experience that.”

Life

The New Score and diversity in programming aren’t the only activities occupying Abrams’ time. “Teddy has made some friends with some local musicians who are much more in the pop world, and he will be playing at Forecastle with some of them,” reveals Kipe. A conductor’s losing sight of playing their own instrument is usually a sign of fatigue or staleness, but the ability and time to play on piano and clarinet is still of the utmost importance to the young Abrams.

It seems that Thunder is only one of the Orchestra’s several triumphs in modernizing their presence in Louisville, and these tactics are still being met with unmitigated success. Experience what Kipe is talking about for yourself: “The old school of conductors just doesn’t work in America anymore. We’re having increases in audiences. We’re seeing younger people come.

There’s been great commitment from our donor bases as well. I think people are recognizing that they’re seeing something special happen, and they want to be part of it.” VT

As far as programming goes, Kipe promises tradition without sacrificing fun and inclusivity: “It’s essentially a top 40 of classical and orchestral music. There’s Beethoven’s ‘Symphony No. 9,’ a little Mozart, some of Holt’s ‘The Planets.’ ‘Star Wars’ is always really popular. Carmina Burana sang with UofL’s choir and joined us on a couple pieces, and you might even hear something a little more contemporary, like an orchestral cover of Katy Perry’s ‘Firework.’” Like years past, the music to accompany the fireworks will be broadcast on a variety of mediums including radio and television as well as over the speakers at the event itself.

This commitment to overall excellence, presence in the community
