AS THE

Kentucky Derby HAS BEEN RUN FOR NEARLY 150 YEARS, IT’S EASY TO IMAGINE HOW THE CITY THAT HOSTS IT MIGHT HAVE ENGENDERED A SENSE OF HISTORY AND TRADITION SURROUNDING IT. THE EVENT FORMS THE LIMESTONE BENEATH THE EARTH HERE AND PERMEATES THE AIR WITH A SENSE OF ANTICIPATION THAT NEVER REALLY GOES AWAY.

FOR NEARLY 100 YEARS, WAGNER’S – FORMERLY WAGNER’S PHARMACY – HAS SERVED AS A REPOSITORY FOR DERBY MEMORIES AND A SUPPLIER OF BOTH GOOD FOOD AND EQUINE NEEDS ALIKE.

The current owner, Lee Wagner III, simply known as Lee, recalls that it was his grandfather who set things in motion: “Wagner’s was founded by my grandfather. It was Hagen’s Pharmacy at the time, and he started working there as a delivery boy. He kept progressing and fell in love with medicine.” Mr. Hagen passed away in 1921, and the Wagner patriarch continued to work for the deceased owner’s widow. The story goes that if Lee’s grandfather, Leo Wagner Sr., could borrow enough for a $1,500 down payment, Mrs. Hagen would carry him for the other $3,500 at six percent interest. “When the time A P R I L 2 8 , 2 0 1 6 • V O I C E -T R I B U N E . C O M

was right, he took a loan from my greatgreat aunt to buy Wagner’s from Mrs. Hagen,” informs Lee. The newly minted Wagner’s Pharmacy – purchased inauspiciously on a Friday the 13th – started off with coffee and a couple of chairs and allegedly took in $37 on its first day in 1922. Initially, Wagner let the horsemen buy their cigarettes and other weekly staples on credit and nurtured the already well-established pharmacy business. This arrangement blossomed into breakfast

WHAT BROUGHT A LOT OF THE

horsemen

HERE WAS THAT THEY COULD GET SOMETHING TO EAT AS WELL AS GET THE STABLE GOODS THAT THEY WANTED. – LEE WAGNER 111

A P R I L 2 8 , 2 0 1 6 • V O I C E -T R I B U N E . C O M

Things were so good, in fact, that in 1965, Wagner decided to buy Becker & Durski, a nearby fine supplier of turf goods and tack products such as custom jockey silks, saddle towels and other accessories. Becker & Durski became operational in 1875, so their reputation had already been preceding itself for nearly 100 years at the time of its purchase by Wagner. According to Lee, at last count, roughly 30 Derby winners have worn Becker & Durski silks. “He had a real love affair with the horsemen,” reminisces Lee. “Whatever they needed, he wanted to make sure we had or were able to get. He wanted them to have a place they could go and get everything they need for their horses as well as a good bite to eat. We also cash a lot of their employee’s checks. We just try to be part of the family.”

Lee also recalls that it was his father – a University of Kentucky School of Pharmacy graduate – who bolstered the already strong foundation at the pharmacy side of Wagner’s. Even though the restaurant became so successful that it overtook the pharmacy, necessitating its sale to Walgreens in 2014, it was Lee’s father’s advances that still make a name for the place today. To this day, Wagner’s Racehorse Liniment remains highly sought after and can be purchased on the Wagner’s website. Additionally, Lee says that they still have a vitamin supplement, a medicated poultice and other veterinary/equine aids available.

After the widening of Central Avenue in 1998, Wagner’s moved to its current location, a little further down Fourth Street. “My father didn’t want to fight it,” asserts Lee. “It was going to be good for Churchill and the University, and Churchill had always been so good to us.” Lee worked as a delivery boy like his grandfather in high school and graduated to helping with other things around the store until his late 20s. The move was somewhere in the middle of this period, so he is the Wagner with the unique position of having a foot in the past and the future. Eventually, Lee left to make his own story in the world of orthopedic sales, but it wasn’t long before the Wagner legacy and mantle of responsibility began to call his name again.

“I came back at the end of 2013,” says Lee. “My family asked me to. My sister was wanting to not be here as often as she was. I’m glad I did though. I had missed it. I still get the old-timers, and they still call me Little Lee. I’m almost 40 years old, and I’m still Little Lee!” he adds with a laugh.

11

And Wagner’s has flourished since his return.

In the time of his grandfather, horsemen such as Ham and Jack Keene, Pete Coyne and Kay Spence were in common attendance. The names may have changed, but the level of renown has not.

“Dallas Stewart has a Derby horse every year, and he always sticks his head in. Bob Baffert will pop in on occasion. He’s mostly in California, but he comes in when he’s in town. Steve Asmussen was just in last week,” says Lee. Even David Levitch, current player for UofL’s men’s basketball team, is a regular. “The cheeseburger, mac and cheese and breakfast are the best things on the menu. The people and the food keep me coming back,” Levitch claims, and he would know as he grabs some grub at Wagner’s three or four times a week.

Despite these assurances of continued success, Lee doesn’t want to rest on his laurels, cashing in on the hard work of his father and grandfather.

He has bold plans for the future: “The future is going to be growing the restaurant business, the equine products line, the gift and souvenir shop. It will all continue to grow. We also have a lot of old memorabilia that you can’t find anywhere else.”

Lee even wants to go back to serving the jockeys at Churchill Downs like they’ve done in the past as well as pick up some other small catering ventures.

He’s just waiting on the right person.

Always a safe bet!

and lunch for dedicated jockeys, trainers and horsemen who had heard of the little place on the corner of Fourth and Central. It wasn’t long before things were booming. “What brought a lot of the horsemen here was that they could get something to eat as well as get the stable goods that they wanted,” asserts Lee.

One such person might just be UofL student Savannah Rines, Wagner’s newest employee of only six months. ‟I was driving past Wagner’s on my way to school, and there was a ‘Now Hiring’ sign in the window. Everyone who works here is like 50 or older, so they were like, ‘You want to work here?’ And I said, ‘Yeah, actually.’ My dad comes in here, my grandma comes in here and the food is good,” she recalls saying matter-of-factly.

Rines fit right in with the rest of equally hard-working and dedicated staff at Wagner’s, and with Lee, she’s teamed up to get the store in tip-top shape for their busiest time and has increased their presence on Facebook and other social media outlets. “For being in college and being a student, she does a good job. She works hard. This time of year, we go late. It’s anywhere from 9, 10 in the morning to midnight when you’re getting ready for the Derby. She helped with our gift shop. Everybody pitched in, but she helped with the design of it,” says Lee. Rines certainly brings in a refreshing energy to the place, and her unabashed affection for the staff and establishment itself is infectious. “I want to open Wagner’s down on the beach. I want to make it that far. It know it sounds crazy. I just want that A P R I L 2 8 , 2 0 1 6 • V O I C E -T R I B U N E . C O M

Wagner’s has been operating for three generations now, and it shows no signs of diminishing returns. Lee plans to fill the joint with all the charm and hospitality he can muster, and on Derby day, they’ll be open from 6 a.m. to whenever the crowd dies down. Running a family-owned business, especially one that has been open for so long, is back-breaking work, but Lee knows exactly where his bread is buttered: “It’s seven days a week. It’s constant, but there’s something nice about that kind of business that makes it worth it. We have so many good customers, so we’re lucky. We really are.” VT

Profile

I think it’s important for people to see long-time survivors in the Kentucky Oaks Survivors Parade – whether they’re six months into it or 10 years into it – they need to see that. When I was diagnosed, one of my co-workers’ wives at the time was a 20-year survivor, and she wrote me a beautiful letter saying, ‘Sweetie, someday you will be a 25-year survivor.’ And I said, ‘OK, I’m just going to tuck this letter away.’ And then in January, I pulled it out when I celebrated my 25th anniversary of being cancer-free. And I thought, ‘Well, she was right.’

Creating Frozen De’Lites

ichelle Edrington’s garage is cheerfully appointed, the walls decorated with happy colors. This is the headquarters of Frozen De’Lites, where Edrington stores her 16 frozen-beverage machines.

Last year, Edrington rented machines to more than 250 parties.

This year, she already has at least one event booked every weekend from now through Halloween.

Business WES KERRICK

The machines don’t sit here long.

The warming weather and the arrival of Derby season mean the machines will soon be rented out to parties and events across Louisville.

Party hosts who want to serve their own frozen drinks call on Frozen De’Lites for the machine and the drink mix. Edrington has the flavors to make slushies for the kids or adult beverages like margaritas and daiquiris.

Frozen De’Lites is the only company of its kind in Louisville. Edrington delivers the machines, mix, cups and straws to the event location and shows the customer how it works.

“You should see the faces of the people when I get there,” she says.

The day after the event, she returns to pick up the machine.

“It’s the only job that I have ever had where people are happy to see me when I get there, and when I go back, they’re still happy.”

She takes it back to her garage and thoroughly cleans it in an industrial sink. Now, it’s ready for the next rental.

A P R I L 2 8 , 2 0 1 6 • V O I C E -T R I B U N E . C O M

Sometimes the machines go to backyard parties for the kids; sometimes they go to wedding receptions, sometimes to large corporate events.

“What people most often say when I go back to pick it up is, ‘It was a hit.

Everybody loved it.’”

Corporate clients include Brown-Forman and Yum! Brands. This year, Frozen De’Lites will be providing the frozen beverages for all the concerts at Waterfront Wednesday, Iroquois Amphitheater and the Louisville Water Tower.

Edrington contracts six to eight people to help deliver and pick up the machines.

Two years ago, she added a bartending service. When customers go with that service, experienced bartenders come to their event to serve the drinks and keep the machines stocked and running.

Edrington has won popularity for her business through 12 years of spreading the word. Her previous career was in

18

advertising and marketing, and she’s applied the skills she learned in those fields to create a frozen drink business that’s been growing every year.

Edrington got into the business after her brother, who works at a Louisville company that manufactures frozen beverage machines, told her that the machines were being rented out for parties in Florida and Texas.

“I said: ‘Ooh, let me borrow one.’”

Then she bought two machines, built a website and started renting them out. To her, going into this business was a no-brainer.

“Because it was frozen drinks,” she says. “I mean, what a fun thing, you know? Who wouldn’t want to own a frozen drink machine, right?”

While continuing to do marketing work, Edrington grew her client list for Frozen De’Lites by networking and reaching out to liquor stores and party rental places.

Eventually, she phased out of her other job to devote herself entirely to the frozen beverages.

“It was time for me to say, ‘OK, I’m just going to do this.’” VT For more information, visit frozendelites.com, call Edrington at 502.664.3085 or email her at michelle@frozendelites.com.

Highlights include a season-opening account of Mahler’s mighty “Resurrection” Symphony, concerto collaborations with such eminent artists as Yo-Yo Ma and Augustin Hadelich, a celebration of “Shakespeare in Music” to accompany Louisville’s upcoming First Folio exhibition, the Louisville premiere of a new commission from Lev Zhurbin and the world premiere of Abrams’ own new composition, “Muhammad Ali Portrait,” part of a two-program Festival of American Music that will also feature guest conductor Michael Tilson Thomas. This diverse and stimulating lineup continues the creative resurgence of the Orchestra that has been sparked by its multi-talented young music director since starting his tenure two years ago. Marked by a signature mix of compelling programming and extensive community engagement, the Orchestra’s partnership with Abrams is one to which Louisville audiences have responded with unbridled enthusiasm, as evidenced by a 93 percent increase in ticket sales since 2012-13.

The Wrong Kind of Scandal

fter a five-year wait that felt like it spanned multiple decades, we finally have the full gauntlet of allegations the NCAA is levying against the University of North Carolina. The allegations were made public by the school on Monday, and UNC now has 90 days to file a formal response.

MIKE RUTHERFORD @cardchronicle

That response from the powers that be in Chapel Hill might as well be a thank you note.

The release of the NOA has officially penned the writing we should have been reading on the wall for the past five years: UNC men’s basketball is not going to get hammered by the NCAA. They might not even get a slap on the wrist. Roy Williams isn’t going anywhere, and neither are the Tar Heels’ 2005 and 2009 national championship banners.

The NCAA’s NOA is predictably dense and sheds little light as to what exact punishments may soon be tossed in the direction of Chapel Hill, but here’s all you need to know: The men’s basketball program isn’t mentioned once. The only program mentioned by name in the document is the women’s basketball program, which will undoubtedly fall on a Carolina blue sword in due time.

Even though “academic” and “fraud” have combined to be the headlining two-word phrase of this scandal, the NCAA declined to investigate the allegation that over a span of 18 years, 3,100 students (47 percent of whom were athletes) at UNC took advantage of African-American studies courses. Those courses, according to the allegations, allowed the students to receive quality grades without having to show up for class, turn in papers or take tests.

Ten of the 13 scholarship players on UNC’s 2005 national championship team majored in African-American studies.

The reason none of this matters? This was a scam that all students benefited or could have benefited from, not just the athletes enrolled in the classes.

There was also significant evidence that the students enrolled in these classes at least had to turn in something before being awarded a grade. Regardless of what the content of the turnedin paper was, the fact that actual work had to be done makes it extremely difficult to prove academic fraud, and thus, the NCAA chose not to head down that road.

UNC Head Coach Roy Williams.

A P R I L 2 8 , 2 0 1 6 • V O I C E -T R I B U N E . C O M

So that would appear to be that. Eighteen years of systemic fraud that directly goes against the heart of what higher education and the NCAA are supposed to be about, and yet, North Carolina basketball is going to skate. This is an especially bitter pill to swallow if you’re a fan of a program that has already had to deal with an extremely harsh punishment for a transgression much more limited in

24

scope and which didn’t directly go against the lead characteristic of the term student-athlete.

The fact of the matter is that everyone outside of those who dislike North Carolina men’s basketball seems to want those to go away as quietly as possible. And everyone else? They really don’t care all that much.

But why? Why is one of the largest and most egregious academic scandals in the history of the NCAA not more of a draw than, say, what the Louisville men’s basketball program is still dealing with today? The answer is three-fold.

First, the details aren’t salacious enough.

There wasn’t one story in the 59 pages of UNC’s notice of allegations that could be turned into an appropriately clever “College GameDay” sign or enough juicy tidbits to produce a “10 Most Shocking Things About the UNC Scandal” BuzzFeed post that could make its rounds on social media. People want single stories that can become internet memes. They want scandals that can be wholly mocked in 140 characters or less. This was never that.

Second, people already assume that this happens everywhere. The shock that goes hand-inhand with the UNC story is attached to the length of time and the number of people affected, not the fact that star athletes were being given grades they didn’t earn. These types of stories are nothing new, especially when it comes to college basketball.

In the past two decades, Florida State, Minnesota, Georgia and Purdue have all seen their hoops programs hit with significant penalties after findings of academic misconduct.

Finally, there is no primary individual or individuals at the heart of the scandal. It doesn’t matter that UNC athletes received a collective GPA of 3.61 in their paper classes and a 1.91 in their real ones; this isn’t the type of cheating that grabs attention these days.

It’s much easier for scandals to become national conversations when they have a clear jumping-off point. The scandal at North Carolina always had too many branches, and they extended from too many different places. This was never solely about Roy Williams or Butch Davis or Mark Emmert or Rashad McCants, and that makes things complicated. There was always too much to talk about, and in the end, the result was a notice of allegations that appears to be too broad to unleash any headline-worthy penalties.

Ultimately, North Carolina basketball is getting the quiet conclusion that we all should have seen coming. It’s frustrating for everyone, especially fans of a program that has already been hit significantly and still remains in the NCAA’s unwanted spotlight. VT PHOTO BY ZEKE SMITH

But weren’t So what, besides confident whistling past the we hearing similar things a year ago about graveyard, should give Cats fans hope?

George Asafo-Adjei?

The linebackers were getting a passive “better” from the coaches, which sounded more like hope than expectation.

The big talented receivers were being called “outstanding potential, if they can hang onto the ball,” which seemed a little too obvious when you’re talking about receivers.

Though I was dubious at the time the announcements were made, I’ll admit to being very impressed with the two University of Cincinnati imports, Eddie Gran and Darin Hinshaw. In their public pronouncements, they’ve

been direct, tough, demanding and realistic.

Shannon Dawson, despite his appealing dimples and Southern drawl, was all over the place in his interviews, which meant that either he was being cagey and close to the vest about his plans or he was completely indecisive. Sadly, we learned which was the case.

Lamar Thomas, the new wide receiver coach, talks a lot about his favorite subject: Lamar Thomas, the new wide receivers coach. But he has some solid credentials: two national championship rings from Miami (1989 and ’91) and mentoring DeVante Parker (who didn’t drop many balls) at UofL. Call it “wide receiver swagger.” UK could use more of that.

Overall, there seems to be a plan in Lexington these days. Gran, Hinshaw and Thomas don’t seem like the types to let 5-1 and 4-1 starts go down the drain. They don’t seem like the types to let their players blow a 24-7 halftime lead. Or to lose to Vanderbilt.

On the other hand, if this season is more like the last three, there could be bigger changes than which home uniform to wear or a few new assistants. Mark Stoops has impressed everyone with his patient demeanor, aggressive recruiting and commanding presence. This is the year to turn all that into a bowl trip to somewhere.

Which is what we said last spring. VT

The highly talented tight end corp was being promised a much bigger role in the offense, which is what we heard last year, before C.J. Conrad caught all of 15 passes.

Some of these huge new offensive linemen were exposed for faulty mechanics. It’s probably not fair to expect freshmen to come in performing at upperclassman levels, but it sounded suspiciously like another season of the UK QB running for his life. Only the quarterback’s name will be different.

Worse, some of them are having to learn new positions: guards becoming tackles, tackles becoming guards. On-the-job training? In the SEC? Speaking of on-the-job SEC training, coaches have come and gone, some seeming to check out in the middle of the night. At times, it felt like Dorothy’s first impression of Oz: “My, people come and go so quickly here!” Which means quarterbacks, offensive tackles, wide receivers and special teamers are all having to get used to another coach’s philosophy and personality.

And maybe the worst part of it all is that – PHOTO BY VICTORIA GRAFF

UofL vs. UK Baseball Game In a springtime Battle for the Bluegrass, UofL and UK’s juggernaut baseball teams clashed, churning out a thrilling rivalry game. Louisville, which improved its home record to 24-1 this season, trailed 5-1 going into the bottom of the seventh. Kentucky did not let up and appropriately continued to take its lead seriously, using all three of its weekend relievers to try to preserve the victory. Justin Lewis (0.37 earned run average), Sean Hjelle (0.71) and Zach Strecker (1.23) all struggled. Proving that the “Cardiac Cards” call more than UofL basketball home, Hairston, a baseball star even before becoming an all-state shortstop for Tates Creek High School, singled in the winning run in the bottom of the ninth. That capped a comeback in the final three innings and gave Louisville a 7-6 victory.

Colin Lyman slid under the tag by UK’s catcher Troy Squires and scored the winning run. The crowd was celebrating as the umpire signaled safe.

UK’s Marcus Carson bunted down the third baseline in the top of the seventh inning. Carson beat out the throw to first and ended up scoring UK’s third run of the inning.

UK’s first baseman Evan White fully stretched out and caught the ball to complete a double play in the bottom of the fifth inning. The Card’s Brendan McKay tried to beat the throw but came up a little short.

UofL head football coach, Bobby Petrino, threw the ceremonial first pitch.

Kade McClure pitched the game’s opening pitch as UK’s lead-off batter Evan White waited for the pitch.

UK’s Luke Becker dove headfirst back to first to avoid being picked off in the top of the fourth inning. Danny Rosenbaum awaited the pickoff throw.

Kade McClure released a pitch in the top of the first inning.

The Beginning of a Legend Romeo Langford just finished up his sophomore season at New Albany High School. The 6-foot-4 guard is already the No. 2 all-time leading scorer in school history and led the Bulldogs to the Indiana 4A State Championship. It was just the second boys’ basketball state title for the oldest high school in the Hoosier state and the first since 1973. Langford averaged 29.3 points, 9.3 rebounds and 3.0 assists per game. Last Wednesday, he was offered a scholarship by the University of Kentucky, and on that same day, UCLA head coach and IU legend Steve Alford visited the school.

How did you find out that Kentucky had offered you?

When you go to different schools, what kinds of things impress you?

I was in fourth period, and my dad texted me and told me that Kentucky offered me.

How does that affect you?

Taylor’s 10

It just makes me happy that what I’m doing is being noticed by some of the great schools.

KENT TAYLOR WAVE3 Sports

How many schools have offered?

When I go to a game, I just want to see what the atmosphere is like in the arena.

What has impressed you so far?

All the fans. All the people that actually support their team.

Indiana, UCLA, Purdue, Vanderbilt, Duke, Kansas, Kentucky and Louisville.

What have the last couple of weeks been like, after leading New Albany to a State Championship?

How many have you already made unofficial visits to?

Winning a state championship was one of my dreams, and all these events have come up so quickly. It’s just been crazy for me.

All of them except Duke, Kansas and UCLA.

A lot of people nationally assume that you will move to a prep school.

Are your plans to stay at New Albany?

Yes, sir. There’s no reason for me to go to a prep school.

What are main things you will be working on this summer?

I need to get a little stronger, improve my quickness and improve on defense.

Is it too early to say that you’re the Michael Jordan of New Albany, Indiana?

Yeah, it’s kind of too early. He’s the greatest of all time. VT

Asmussen on a Roll – Trainer Steve Asmussen, named this week to racing’s hall of fame, will saddle Gun Runner and Creator in the Derby and five possible Oaks runners (Terra Promessa, Taxable, Royal Obsession, Nickname and Adore).

First Win Is The Biggest? – Broker’s Tip (1933) was the last horse to make the Derby his first career victory, but two non-winners – Trojan Nation and Laoban – could make this year’s field. By the way, the first Triple Crown winner (Sir Barton, 1919) collected his first career win in the Kentucky Derby.

Frequent Flyer – A Derby win by Lani would be the first for both a Japan-based horse and a winner of Dubai’s UAE Derby.

Maktoum Mountaintop – Should Mohaymen earn the roses on Derby day, he will be the first horse owned by a member of Maktoum family – Dubai’s ruling family and the country’s premier racing family – to win the Derby. The colt is owned by the Shadwell Stable of Sheikh Hamdan bin Rashid Al Maktoum.

Will a Saint March In? – Two Derby hopes – Mo Tom and Tom’s Ready – are owned by the family of Tom Benson, owner of the NFL’s New Orleans Saints.

Mo Better? – Reigning 2-year-old champion Uncle Mo was knocked out of the 2011 Derby by illness, but his first crop of babies includes Derby favorite Nyquist and Outwork, the latter owned and bred

by Uncle Mo’s owner Mike Repole.

Power of Wayne – Former assistants to Hall of Famer and four-time Derby winner D. Wayne Lukas, who will saddle horses in the 2016 Derby, include Todd Pletcher, winner of the 2010 running with Super Saver; and Kiaran McLaughlin and Dallas Stewart, each looking for their first Derby success.

Key Kentucky Jockey Club – November’s running of Churchill Downs’ Kentucky Jockey Club is likely to produce four Derby starters in Mor Spirit, Gun Runner, Mo Tom and Tom’s Ready. Super Saver and Real Quiet are the most recent KJC horses to return the following spring to win the roses.

Breeders’ Cup Announcement Adds Derby-Time Sizzle

Bruins’ Baseball Climbing Ranks in Recognition

F

or years, Ballard High School’s boys’ basketball program has stood at the forefront of athletic prominence in the city, state and, in some years, the nation. Recently, Coach Renner and his team have had to step aside to share the limelight with both the softball and baseball programs at the school.

High School Sports Report

RANDY WHETSTONE JR.

The softball program, coached by Alan Jones, is 19-3-1 this year, striving to make a strong push toward a state championship, and the baseball team is not far behind. In the 2015 season, they shocked the seventh region by defeating both Male and St. X in the regional tournament to advance to the state tourney.

David Trager, head coach for the baseball team, believes exposing his players to top teams in the nation builds greater confidence as they participate in local and state competition.

“If you continue to play around good baseball – and not just talent but good base-

ball, guys who want to go out there and compete – that is what translates. The more our guys see that and the more our guys are around that, then the more they expect themselves to do that. So playing high-quality teams and high-quality programs really helps us as a program. Our standards are held high, and we expect ourselves to go out and compete with those teams.”

During the week of spring break, most programs travel out of state to compete in a tournament. Ballard, on the other hand, hosts its own tournament and brings in some of the top-ranked teams in the country.

“Having these teams come in from out of town while we are on spring break is kind of the icing on the cake,” Trager adds. “[We] can break things down with individuals and focus on things that we need to work on as individuals and as a team. We are able to play some high-quality competition and at the same time try to implement those tweaks here and there.”

Although Ballard may come up short in some games against high-quality competition, the aim is to raise the bar in the program’s expectations and to invigorate the troops as

they draw close to postseason play.

“We have struggled against some of the teams we have played thus far, and it has been interesting to see how some of the guys have reacted to the adversity. Everybody is starting to find their niche and their role. That is going to be important for us as we go into the postseason,” Trager says.

Perhaps going through a rough and rigid schedule early on in the season is the formula that Ballard uses to build itself up to a place where the players are playing their best ball by the end. This method almost certainly has its ups and downs, but there are 11 seniors in the ball club who have been together through it all.

“We have all been through the highs and lows together,” affirms Haynes Routt, senior first baseman on the team and highly respected for his character and leadership. “We have all been through the same hardships, so we all know what it feels like. We know how we want to get back [to state].”

Routt says the “powerhouses in our pitching and our defense” have been behind the team all year, having held their opponents to 4.6 runs through 17 games.

When it comes to the offensive end, they’ve depended much on No. 29, senior and firstyear player, Jake Snider. A transfer from Illinois, Snider grew up around basketball, and his father is now one of the assistant coaches at the University of Louisville.

He will be playing for the Cardinals next season but has been embracing this one-year ride with the Bruins, hoping to lead them back to state.

“Being the new guy is kind of different,” he says. “But the team really embraced me as a player and a person, and it was really great. So far, I have had a great time and we are getting closer as a team, so it will be interesting to see how we finish. Everyone wants to win a state title, but right now, we are taking it game by game.”

Ballard baseball has certainly earned its right as one of the preeminent athletic programs at the school. Coach Trager has established a new work ethic in an effort, hopefully, to make the team a force to be reckoned with in the city and state for years to come. VT

SPOTLIGHT

The Speed’s Oaks Brunch

After an extensive $60 million three-year renovation and expansion, the Speed Art Museum is up and running once again. One of its most glamorous new events is the Oaks Brunch, to be held the morning of May 6. Guests will enjoy brunch at the museum before heading off to Churchill Downs, and to get a little more insight into this event, we caught up with event co-chair Julia Carstanjen.

How would you describe the Oaks Brunch?

The Oaks Brunch is a splendid way to experience the beautiful new Speed Art Museum before heading off to the track with your friends. You’ll enjoy exquisite cuisine from Wiltshire and the wonderful Susan Hershberg while you visit and dine amidst world-class art at the Speed. The best part is perhaps the ease of parking at the Speed garage and then taking the convenient shuttle service to and from Churchill Downs. It’s the easiest and classiest way to enjoy kicking off Oaks Day. Where did the idea come from?

The Oaks is truly Louisville’s day at the races, and the Speed has always been an important part of the fabric of Louisville. We are simply bringing two wonderful traditions together into one

spectacular event that, we hope, will create a new tradition for Oaks Day. Entertaining that weekend can be a challenge for many when you just want to enjoy the day. My co-chairs, Karen Casi and Patrick McLane, who are both on the Speed PARTnership Board, thought this would be a great new and exciting option for entertaining guests during Derby season. Plus, the Speed is such a stunning new space that so many Louisvillians and out-oftown guests are anxious to see that it made perfect sense to combine two things we all love – the Speed and the Oaks and Derby – into one fabulous event.

What makes this event so unique?

That’s easy. It’s an excellent way to admire spectacular art and celebrate the Oaks in style! The Oaks and the Speed are both uniquely “Louisville.” The gorgeous new renovation at the Speed is stunning, and the art is, of course, breathtaking. It showcases Louisville at its best, as do Oaks and Derby. The spring weather is welcome, the art is spectacular, the space is glass and light-filled and the fashions and friends will be oneof-a-kind. The Speed’s Oaks Brunch will quickly become the go-to brunch event before the Oaks. We anticipate this becoming a yearly tradition that is widely anticipated and enjoyed by many. The transportation provided is worth the cost alone and saves so many headaches from traveling through the crowds.

town guests, enjoy the Oaks Brunch at the Speed, celebrate Oaks and Derby in style all weekend and then return on Sunday, May 8 for Mother’s Day at the Speed. Treat mom, your friends and guests to free Sunday admission at the Speed, thanks to a generous gift from Brown-Forman. It’s the recipe for a perfect Southern weekend.

Is it too late to get tickets?

No, it’s not too late, but hurry! Tickets are available for $150 per person and include a great brunch

by Susan Hershberg of Wiltshire at the Speed, a bloody mary bar and mimosas and convenient shuttle service to and from Churchill Downs. Please contact Joanne Caridis at 502.634.2734 or visit the Speed’s website at speedmuseum.org to order tickets today. Call now before the event sells out. VT

How does the event benefit the Speed?

The energy and excitement around the Speed’s reopening recently has been electric. Everyone wants to see the world-class art at the Speed and everyone wants to see and be seen at Oaks and Derby. It’s the perfect combination to celebrate tradition, great art, great friends and the glory and pageantry of Derby weekend. It’s the Speed’s way to celebrate spring and say, “Welcome to our home.” Additionally, the Oaks Brunch will raise funds for the museum to aid in its curatorial and educational programming. Bring your friends and out-of-

FLORALS

It seems that every year, Derby-goers are donning fewer and fewer hats and more and more fascinators. While there is no shortage of stylish and unique fascinators available around town, Boston’s Floral Couture is taking this unique fashion staple to a new level by incorporating fresh flowers into their design.

These are two of our favorites, but be sure to give them a call if there’s a custom design you have in mind.

These fascinators can be found on display at Craft Gallery. They are also part of the CRAFT(s) Gallery Trunk Show taking place at 21c Museum Hotel from 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. on both May 5 and 6.

Get Fit and Stay Fit Over Summer Break

By CHRIS THOMPSON, MS, CSCS Chief of Staff, Fitness Director for Heuser Health

“W

hat is this fat creeping on my stomach?! Why is the scale moving so quickly in the wrong direction?! Why can’t I be toned like her? How does he have that chest and those abs?!

I’m poor and in college – what can I eat to stay healthy and get lean?! What kind of workout will actually give me results?!”

All familiar questions, especially once we hit the college years and are trying to avoid the infamous Freshman 15. There are many answers out there, mostly bad ones. The familiar answer is to starve yourself and run, fight the hunger and just keep doing cardio. So many attempt this path, and so many run out of gas with next to no results. It’s an impossible path to maintain, and eventually, your willpower will fail. But if this isn’t the A P R I L 2 8 , 2 0 1 6 • V O I C E -T R I B U N E . C O M

answer, what is? It must be genetics, or supplements, or steroids? No, there is a better way, a much better way.

Chris Thompson, MS, CSCS Chief of Staff, Fitness Director for Heuser Health

Not only does the crash diet and cardio solution result in next to zero results, it actually puts you in a significantly worse position moving forward.

Sure, you WILL lose weight, maybe even a great amount. But what kind of weight? What happens once you return to normal eating? Your weight will come on faster than ever before and you will quickly move beyond where you began. Why? Because the weight you lost was largely muscle, the key to your metabolism!

So, what’s the secret to our success?

In simple terms: muscle. Muscle is the key to short and long-term success.

Ladies, fear not becoming bulky. One pound of muscle is half the size of one pound of fat. Your clothing sizes will drop significantly, and friends will ask how you’ve become so toned.

Guys, your chest will actually pop, and the v-taper down to your narrow waistline will be crystal clear.

Your body’s response to crashing calories and adding cardio is to

64

P H O T O S C O U R T E S Y O F H E U S E R H E A LT H

activate starvation mode. The body senses dangerously low levels of calories (energy), therefore locks down precious fat (energy) stores and begins to break down metabolically expensive muscle, which is burning calories all day long.

You’re not using your muscles to any great extent, so your body says, “Get rid of them!”

It’s not uncommon to lose several pounds of muscle in only a few weeks when on a diet. This is the absolute worst thing possible and will make it much tougher to maintain your weight moving forward.

The reason our metabolism slows and we gain weight as we age is that we gradually lose muscle and therefore metabolism. Crash diet and cardio plans accelerate this process and ruin any chance of having those abs or toned legs. The weight

P H O T O C O U R T E S Y O F H E U S E R H E A LT H

scale is complete fool’s gold.

You should instead be looking at your bodyfat percentage. Our clients may lose only five pounds, but they also lose FIVE INCHES off their waist!

Their muscles are now defined, and six packs have emerged. Their body composition is now predominantly muscle instead of fat!

Our MDs and exercise physiologists at Heuser Health have spent decades fine-tuning the perfect formula for success with a combination of nutrition and fitness.

We not only tell you what to eat but why, with food that even a college student can afford. We guide you through the most effective workouts to be found with what we call personalized

training in a small group setting. We answer all of your questions and guide you on the path to success. The fat on your stomach and thighs will be a thing of the past. Your energy will be strong and steady all day long.

Your muscles will be generating compliments from others. Our formula covers all five components of fitness and is the epitome of well-rounded. We have the recipe for shredding; you just need to show up and follow along.

Heuser Health was founded by Dr. Louis Heuser in 2000 and designed around the scientific principles of diet and exercise. We have two spacious locations, one on River Road and one on Blankenbaker Parkway.

We work with all populations from youth athletes, young adults, corporate wellness participants, weekend warriors and seniors. We have literally changed the lives of thousands.

Starting June 2016, Heuser Health will be offering an eight-week Summer Shred program for students, guiding you and teaching you the secrets of being and looking fit. We know exactly what works and how to help you achieve your desired goals.

The business has worked with the KDF for over 15 years, but clean and unequivocally Kentucky.

What that means in reality is the incorporation of several new elements that give the event a whole new vibe. For example, instead of traditional picnic tables, Loeser is implementing more standing cocktail tables in the form of bourbon barrels. There will also be market lighting under the I-64 overpass, bringing character and elegance to the ambiance of the Chow Wagon. Furthermore, the beer garden will see hanging burlap chandeliers, accented with bourbon barrel staves.

this season’s duties. “This year, we were given the challenge of making the Chow Wagon and Fest-a-Ville a little more festive – to have more continuity in the feel and design of the events,” he describes. “And we’re trying to do everything a little more Kentucky-related.”

PHOTOS COURTESY OF THE KENTUCKY DERBY FESTIVAL

As far as the food itself is concerned, Siegwald assures that there will be old favorites as well as some newer offerings. “We’ll have the traditional fare because we know some people come down to have their annual corn dog, but we’re also offering some new unique things,” she teases. Such new items include wood-fired pizza, hand-dipped ice cream, the 2016 Derby Burger – a burger stuffed with blue and feta cheeses and seasoned with bell peppers and onions – gyros, brisket and roasted sweet corn.

The beverage aspect of Fest-a-Ville is also getting a makeover. There will be five bars across the venue with such highlights as Drake’s By the River, which will be a full-service bar and feature cornhole as well as giant Jenga games; the Firefly Sweet Tea Bar, which will offer a relaxation and hammock area; and, of course, the Chow Wagon Beer Garden, complete with a new stone bar, bourbon barrel tables and rustic chandeliers.

Siegwald is also highly anticipating the unveiling of some of Fest-a-Ville’s new events.

Attendees can look forward to Neigh-maste (April 29), which will see yoga offered on the Great Lawn; the Ken-Ducky Derby (April 30), where 20,000 rubber ducks will be launched into the Ohio River to benefit Harbor House; Splat Out Cancer (May 4), an event where guests will launch paint-filled balloons at a giant canvas to benefit the James Graham Brown Cancer Center; and NeXtreme Knockerball (all week), where participants can climb into giant bubbles and bump, knock and roll into each other.

Without question, this year’s Fest-a-Ville will be the best one to date. “We’re just trying to keep people really comfortable so that they can make a whole day of it,” Siegwald muses.

And with the multitude of other events that are all a part of Fest-a-Ville, such as the Great Balloon Glimmer and the Waterfront Jams Concert Series, there will be no shortage of activities. Indeed, with a new look, new ambiance and new events, this year is surely a milestone for the KDF, as Loeser asserts, “We too are stepping up our game on behalf of the Festival … It’s just a new age for all of us.” VT A complete schedule of Kroger’s Fest-a-Ville, along with more information, can be found online at discover.kdf.org.

Loeser says the fixture was difficult to realize but will ultimately be a fan-favorite: “The question we were faced with was, ‘How do we make that structure a photo-op?’ So what we did was we made the front where you have your photograph made 8-feet wide, but as you go back 40 feet, it ends up being 4-feet wide at the end.

As someone who has waited tables in the

past, and had to maintain an illusion and pretense of “having fun,” I take a moment to watch the employees. They bounce along to the music and swing to the beat. They follow the rhythm of the place in a display of fun that is very difficult to fake. In fact, it relaxes and welcomes me through this portal to yesteryear.

Grangier also does quite a bit to put me at ease. He takes the time to let me in on what Blue Moo is all about: “We want to take you back to the ’40s and ’50s. Something like the supper clubs you used to see. You know, like the Rainbow Room in New York.”

I take another look around the room.

Grangier’s reach doesn’t seem to exceed his grasp. I’m taken by just how nice everything looks, all without seeming to lose warmth or charm. He goes on to emphasize the focus on live music and detail the current lineup.

local Latin jazz band Hermanos will on Saturdays. “We’re booked through August,” says Grangier proudly of the entertainment.

Now, Grangier leaves me to look over the menu, which, fortunately for me, is the exact same as that of Le Moo. He and his kitchen are exceptionally generous, offering me “a perfect steak tartare,” steak and eggs and cherry-balsamic chicken. I even get a glass of champagne with a decadent Luxardo cherry at the bottom while I wait.

At this point, I’m not surprised to learn that the food is fantastic when I get to eating it. The consistency of the tartare is exactly as Grangier described, “perfect.”

The steak is tender and its eggs well-poached, and the cherry-balsamic glaze on the chicken is so

mouthwatering that I wish I could eat more than my stomach and the three entrees will allow.

I take my time eating all this, however, and savor a Four Roses Derby, a cocktail unique to the Blue Moo portion of Le Moo. This drink features, of course, Four Roses bourbon, Cinzano sweet vermouth, Grand Marnier and fresh lime juice, and it gives me the perfect light buzz to tap my toes along to such jazz covers as Pharrell’s “Happy,” the late Prince’s “Kiss” and the perpetually classic “My Girl.”

Le Moo doesn’t seem to know how to do anything in moderation, and with Blue Moo, that continues to be not only a good but a great thing. VT Blue Moo offers walk-in live jazz from 10:30 p.m. to 1:30 a.m. on Fridays and Saturdays.

The tour, presented by ReMax, will be Greater Louisville’s largest app-driven open house. This innovative idea is to make the process of looking at multiple homes a much easier, more efficient and straight-forward process for attendees. In order to participate, the first step for anyone interested would be to download Parade Craze, a free app available on both Android and iPhone.

Once downloaded, buyers should open the app on their mobile device and select the Louisville Tour of New Homes event. Once selected, users will be able to scroll through, view the event’s different listings and narrow down their choices from there – all before the tour actually starts on Saturday and Sunday.

Each listing features a picture, details about the home and a map with step-by-step directions to drive to each home. Additionally, the app will continue to update with any added listings all the way through to the end of the event, so anyone utilizing the app will always be up-to-date on the newest featured homes.

homes, etc.,” Schell explains. “The app will stay active for anyone to refer back to even after the event ends.”

As of today, the scattered-site tour will feature more than 42 homes and more than 15 developments.

“Rather than buy a house that’s already been lived in, I think you’d be surprised in the Louisville market when you look at how easy it is to buy a brand new house,” Schell says.

“What we found last year is that people really

enjoyed being able to get out on a weekend and see some of the options out there. You have to get out there and compare, and you don’t know until you do compare.”

The first step of any long journey is just that – to take the first step. VT The Tour of New Homes is free to attend and takes place on Saturday, April 30 and Sunday, May 1 from noon to 6 p.m. both days. For more information, visit louisvilletourofnewhomes.com or facebook.com/ TourOfNewHomes.

With barely any actor who I found recognizseries (“Before Sunrise,” “Before Sunset” able, I was satisfied with the fresh-faced cast in and “Before Midnight”).

At the risk of using an oxymoron, Linklater is the most casually ambitious director I can think of. He approaches any given project like he’s effortlessly following through with a dare and giving not much more of a thought than “Let’s see what happens.”

His second feature, “Dazed and Confused” had the audacity to follow in the footsteps of George Lucas’ “American Graffiti” as an all-in-one-night-teenhangout movie with no famous faces – but with less story conflict and more fascination in the simplicity of observing a place and a time.

I don’t think that Linklater has spent his career provoking the most realistic performances, but he’s a master of staging realistic situations, finding deep satisfaction in just watching his characters exist and experience life without imposing superficial situations. This movie is a party, themed around an exclusive crowd. As always though, everyone is invited. VT

What’s amazing is that people dug it and it developed a cult following. The writer/director’s nostalgic communion of teen life in 1970s Texas resonated with a lot of people.

In his new film, “Everybody Wants Some!!” the auteur quite deliberately – and successfully – hits all the same notes in his reflection of college life in the early ’80s. The movie achieves an atmosphere similar to Peter Yates’ “Breaking Away,” and you can expect historically accurate hair and clothing styles that range between cool and hideous. The soundtrack selections are on point too.

The only difference is that this premise is less likely to win the interest of the average viewer.

“Dazed” had the benefit of reminding people of their teen years. Only a certain percentage of people have been to college, and only some of those people were in a fraternity-like setting.

The movie is unapologetically steeped in the world of young jocks competing with one another, getting drunk and chasing girls, following a charismatic freshman enduring informal rites of passage with a house of college baseball players over the A P R I L 2 8 , 2 0 1 6 • V O I C E -T R I B U N E .

It’s a easy to notice that the majority of Muhammad’s work seems to have a social-justice bent. It’s something that Muhammad is well aware of in his writing: “I write what interests me, and maybe because of my journalism background, I’m drawn to material that’s topical or, in some way, appealing to the general public and not just theatergoers.”

Muhammad also cites his journalism background as the reasoning behind some of his process. “I go to the public library. I go online. I find as much information as I can about a subject and find sources to interview,” he says. “For ‘Buster!,’ I read more than 1,000 articles about Louis Coleman and interviewed close to 30 people. As a retired journalist, Muhammad also knows that the audience’s attention will be more in tune to certain topics at different times of the year.

Part of my mission is putting African-American Bluegrass history on the stage,” Muhammad asserts.

“Jockey Jim,” which is being performed at the opportune time of Derby, is actually a remount, a well-received production previously being done in 2010 at Actors Theatre: “We have several people returning from the 2010 production. Billy Bradford is directing again; Eric Allgeier is again doing the set; Nick Dent is doing lights again. Other crew members are Haley Davis, stage manager; Ken Atkins, sound designer; and Joshua Crowe, costumer.”

Whatever your Derby traditions may be, consider taking in some culture and taking advantage of the opportunity to learn about the last African-American jockey to win the Kentucky Derby. These are the stories that need to be told, not only to honor the past but also to race into the future. VT “Jockey Jim” runs April 30-May 6 in The Henry Clay Theatre.

She’s a leggy girl who would love an active person who would take her on long walks – possibly runs – and spend time with her in the great outdoors.

Maya is certain that she’s all the dog you need – just give her a chance to prove herself to you! Maya is spayed, micro-chipped and up-to-date on her vaccinations. Come meet her at the Kentucky Humane Society’s East Campus, 1000 Lyndon Lane, in Louisville.

She might do best as the only cat of the household, but she’s so loving you won’t even miss the other cats. Give her some curious kitty toys and a warm place to rest her head and she will love you forever! Stop by and meet Rose Bud today; she is spayed, micro-chipped and up-to-date on vaccinations.
