As summer is heating up, so is this week’s issue. Louisville is one of the best places to see some unusual things. We have a unique sense of identity and love showing it off. For this week’s cover story, we took a trip down the road to explore the Highland Renaissance Festival in Eminence. We spoke with co-owner Ed Frederick and learned how he came to create this magical kingdom. Filled with fairies, jousting tournaments and gorgeous costumes, this unique event is a truly enchanted summer activity for the whole family. I encourage you to read our feature story on the festival and explore a world that will likely be totally new to you.

For our profile this week, we sat down with the ever-so-talented Lyndia and Mike Willis of Lyndia R. Willis Hair Spa. This mother-son duo know what they are doing, and they do it well. From the time you walk in to the moment you leave, it is a five-star experience. They take excellent care of each guest and add their professional touch every time. I highly recommend checking out this salon – whether it is for a cut, color, extensions or just a simple blow out. You really will be blown away.

In Tastes, we venture to Ruth’s Chris Steak House for a musical pairing. author Barbara Werner travels the country to host dinners that pair music with dishes based on a mathematical formula. It is a bit crazy, but the math is simple. We all know how vanilla ice cream tastes, but if you pair the vanilla ice cream with opera music, it’ll send your taste buds flying. Who knew ice cream could get any better? Check out the article to find out the equation Werner uses.

In Sports, Kent Taylor caught up with Cardinals legend Peyton Siva who is back in town and playing in a summer league in hopes of landing on a new team. Speaking of basketball, our own Cards insider Mike Rutherford gives us the lowdown on Rick Pitino’s latest recruit, V.J. King. In the meantime, our man at Churchill Downs, John Asher, looks back at American Pharoah and his spectacular welcome back home at the track where he won the first leg of the historic Triple Crown.

Around town, we stopped by to see the legend himself, American Pharoah. There was no doubt in my mind that Churchill Downs Night Racing was going to be amazing. The fun “white out” theme showcased attendees’ summer tans. The Oaks Lilies were delicious per usual, and watching American Pharoah walk the track was such a special moment in history. You really can’t go wrong with any event held by Churchill Downs.

The Brown-Forman Farm to Table event was a sure hit. Wiltshire Pantry, Red Hog and The Comfy Cow teamed up to provide a local farm raised feast. This event was the total package with fantastic eats, perfect summertime weather and bluegrass music. Look out for future farm to table events; these are not to be missed.

Another summertime outdoor event was Bourbon by the Bridge. Bourbon-lovers and other fun-seekers gathered at the Big Four Bridge to sample bourbon from a wide variety of distilleries. Sampling bourbon is good enough, but sampling bourbon to help support CASA of the River Region is even better.

Louisville sure is a very generous and supportive city. The Let’s Dance Louisville competition, modeled after “Dancing with the Stars,” supports the Feed My Neighbor program. Let’s Dance Louisville features 12 local celebrities gracing the stage. This event is a unique way of mixing fun and raising money.

If you personally don’t have your dancing shoes on, it’s not too late to sponsor a dancer for a great cause.

See you next week, and a Happy Father’s Day to all you dads out there.

sellers are friendly and informative and always sure to remain in character. Additionally, many of them are local. “The first year we were here, it was all people from out of town,” Frederick describes. “But now, about 40 percent of our vendors are local – not necessarily from Eminence but from Louisville and surrounding areas.”

Off to the side of Main Street is Faewood Grove, an enchanted forest that takes guests on winding footpaths through a wooded glen. There, you’ll find more vendors along with a cast of princesses and gypsies instructing children on the magic of the forest. Children can take part in Faerie Lessons or even join the Faerie Apprentice Enlistment Program.

It is this sort of whimsy that Frederick truly values. While adults may prefer the pubs and the vendors, the total commitment of the festival’s employees to the children’s enjoyment is what is truly paramount. “We try to have a little bit for everybody,” Frederick explains. “But the primary focus is on the kids. That’s what this is all about.”

That said, Briarwood Forrest, which resides opposite the grove on the other side of Main Street, has a few more adult-oriented offerings than the more fanciful Faewood Grove.

In Briarwood Forrest, you’ll find fortunetellers and tarot card readers, sultry period corsets for sale and a mysterious tented hookah lounge.

At the end of the path lies the Twisted Thistle Pub, a 21-and-over only watering hole offering an abundance of period-appropriate thirstquenchers, including mead – or honey wine – and The Bloody Knight, a concoction featuring apple cider with sweet red wine and mead.

Beyond these three regions lies the great common area, an expansive space that is anchored by the maypole.

It’s in this area that the true size and openness of the festival becomes truly apparent.

Whereas other Renaissance festivals may be confined to a forest and easily feel cramped or crowded, the space allowed by the Highland Renaissance Festival prohibits this from ever becoming a problem.

Beyond the vast common space, on the far edge of the festival grounds, is where the real action is; that’s where you’ll find the Field of Valor: a jousting arena.

Three times a day, knights represent-

11

ing different kingdoms meet on the field to battle in one of the most iconic Renaissance fashions.

They compete independently at first but then begin to strike each other with their lances in the final rounds. It is a true spectacle and certainly a highlight of the festival.

Similar action can be found at different booths surrounding the Field of Valor. On one end, there’s an archery stand that includes some light instruction and a chance to shoot multiple arrows at hay bale targets. On the other end, you can take your pick of throwing axes, knives or stars at a wooden wall and realize what strength and precision it took to be a Renaissance warrior.

Less intense activities, such as candle-making and wax hand creation, are also available. However, be sure to leave your cash at home. Most booths only accept the Coin of the Realm, an in-house currency system with one coin equating to one dollar. Coins may be purchased by credit card, and some venues even accept cards as payment but not cash.

If you’d rather have admission be the only money you spend during your day at the fair, there’s still plenty available for you. Such entertainment as “Nuttin’ But Mud” – a comedy show taking place three times a day in the festival’s mud pit – is sure to delight audisee page 12

colorful maypole. A fairy forest. A jousting arena with knights in shining armor on horseback. While all of these images are evocative of fairy tales or storybooks, they are far more accessible than one might imagine. Though the days of being punished in the stocks and shopping for tunics and kilts may be long gone, a recreation of these events is ready for the Renaissance-lover in everyone just down I-64 at the Highland Renaissance Festival.

Located 45 minutes from Louisville in Eminence, Ky., the festival is the state’s first permanent renaissance fair and is now in its 10th season. Though the festival’s parent company, Kentucky Renaissance Fair, is operational roughly May through December, it’s their six-weekendlong summer Highland Renaissance Festival that is the company’s true centerpiece.

The aim of the event is to place guests in a fictional version of Renaissance times. Upon entering the gates, festival goers are transported to 14th century Scotland and into the fictional village of Briarwood in the Highlands of the country. Robert the Bruce is king, and he reigns over a delightful village overflowing with vendors, activities, magic and entertainment.

Ed Frederick is one of the owners of Kentucky Renaissance Fair and the general manager of the Highland Renaissance Festival. While one would be inclined to believe a man in such a position would have a longstanding love affair with Renaissance culture, that is not the case. In fact, how Frederick came to be where he is today was entirely serendipitous.

Frederick and his wife were living in Texas over 10 years ago when they first learned of Renaissance fairs. “I went to my veterinarian and said ‘I’m looking for something to do this Saturday,’” Frederick recalls. “And he said that his wife told him about this thing called a Renaissance fair, and I thought ‘Well that sounds cool maybe we’ll do that.’ We found it, and when I walked through the gate, I was like ‘this is it.’”

“It” would prove to be a new and exciting endeavor for the Fredericks when they moved back to Kentucky. Frederick was born and raised here and returned for family reasons in the early 2000s. Having fallen in love with the Renaissance fair outside Dallas, he noticed there were none at all in Kentucky. Accordingly, Kentucky Renaissance Fair was born. “We’re developing a culture here that hasn’t been here before,” Frederick contends of his enterprise.

And it is truly a culture to be reckoned with.

As you enter the Highland Renaissance Festival, you are immediately pulled into the period on Main Street. A host of vendors are in their period garb and are peddling everything from family crest flags and intricate glass sculptures to suits of armor and flowing Renaissance gowns. The

LEGAL NOTICE NORTHERN SUPPLY ACCESS PROJECT NOTICE OF PROPOSED CONSTRUCTION AND MODIFICATION OF INTERSTATE NATURAL GAS PIPELINE FACILITIES

Van Zandt, Emrich & Cary Insurance

On June 5, 2015, Texas Gas Transmission, LLC (Texas Gas), a subsidiary of Boardwalk Pipeline Partners, LP filed an application with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) under Section 7 (c) of the Natural Gas Act in Docket No. CP15-513-000.

Texas Gas is seeking authorization to modify certain yard and station piping at existing compressor stations located in Lawrence County, Indiana, Jefferson County, Kentucky, Breckinridge County, Kentucky, Webster County, Kentucky, Tipton County, Tennessee, Coahoma County, Mississippi, and Morehouse Parish, Louisiana; install gas cooling facilities at an existing compressor station in Dearborn County, Indiana; and install a new gas turbine compressor and classify certain reciprocating compressors as operational spares at an existing compressor station in Morehouse Parish, Louisiana. The proposed modifications at the existing compressor stations will allow Texas Gas to flow proposed quantities of natural gas north to south, while retaining the existing capability to flow natural gas south to north. No new facilities will be placed outside any of the existing compressor station yards, resulting in no new permanent land impact. Texas Gas is also seeking authority to construct, own, operate, and maintain a new compressor station in Hamilton County, Ohio with minimal acreage needed for permanent operation of the facility. Texas Gas anticipates work to begin in April 2016.

The Northern Supply Access Project is more fully described in the application to FERC. A copy of the application is available at the Louisville Free Public Library, 301 York Street, Louisville, KY 40203.

The application may also be viewed on the FERC website at www.ferc.gov, using the “eLibrary” link by entering the docket number in the docket number field to access the document. Further, a separate notice regarding this 22 42 project will be mailed directly to landowners who are considered 265 affected by the current proposal, under FERC regulations, and 146 to relevant government entities.

For information on becoming involved in the FERC review of this project and/or to obtain the FERC pamphlet, An Interstate Natural Gas Facility on My Land? What Do I Need to Know?, go to the FERC website at www.ferc.gov or phone the FERC Office of External Affairs at (202) 502-8004 or toll free at (866) 208-3372.

For additional information about the Northern Supply Access Project, you may contact Mr. Dan Fleming with Texas Gas at 713.479.8675 or via email at Daniel.Fleming@bwpmlp.com.

mong great hair salons, a few select qualities define the crème de la crème. Lyndia R. Willis Hair Spa has them all.

One of those qualities is experience, and you’ll certainly find it at 2850 Frankfort Ave. when you see who’s standing behind the salon’s impeccable white chairs.

“As cosmetologists, I think we’re responsible for finding answers for our clientele,” he says.

Contributing Writer

Indeed, like you’d expect from a world-class salon, Lyndia R. Willis Hair Spa provides solutions, for both women and men, that you can’t get just anywhere.

WES KERRICK

It’s a mother-son team. Lyndia Willis has been styling hair for decades, and Mike Willis has been involved in the beauty business as long as he can remember.

The salon is impressively clean, illuminated by sunlight through the front glass. With the finesse of an accomplished painter, Mike puts the finishing touches on a woman’s celebrity-worthy style.

Born into a family of hairdressers, he grew up around a salon his mom used to run called Headlines.

Naturally, he wanted to do something different when he grew up.

“It was one of those deals where I said I would never do it, as a kid,” Mike says with a chuckle.

Instead, he fell in love with the business. It was something about the opportunity to find unique solutions for people that got him hooked.

It’s the only salon in this part of the country to provide Hairdreams, a hair thickening and lengthening system developed by a company in Austria.

It was also the second concept salon in the world for Philip Pelusi, a renowned line of hair care products developed in Pittsburgh.

“We try to use the very best color line that we can use for our clients and the very best tools, even down to our blow-dryers,” Mike says.

A top-of-the-line salon must also hold its stylists to a high standard. That’s certainly the case with the three cosmetologists who work for Mike and Lyndia.

“I do demand excellence,” Mike says, “and I think our clients demand excellence.”

He holds himself to the same standard: “If I need to go to the edge of the world to try to please a client, I will do that.”

While Mike talks, his mom is blowing out a client’s hair. The warmth Lyndia shares with this woman is palpable, the mark of a well-earned trust.

Pausing to look up from her work, Lyndia sums up the salon’s success in a word: “consistency.”

“She’s not going to keep coming to me if most of the time I don’t do it like she likes,” Lyndia explains. “I have to be consistent.”

Marlene Weisberg and George Nichols.

The salon has also been the choice of 2015 Miss Kentucky Katie George and other beauty pageant standouts.

Clients flock from as far as Illinois, Tennessee, West Virginia and North Carolina.

“They don’t mind driving to us,” Lyndia says.

Whatever the industry, that’s a standard of service that Mike calls “a dying breed” – you only find it on occasion. But his customers find it every visit.

Says Mike: “They get their hair done and then fly back or drive back.”

“I think they’ve come to love the fact that when they come here…they don’t have to worry about their hair.”

But the most vital force behind the success of an elite salon is its owners’ passion to help people feel beautiful.

But if you really want to know where a salon stands in the community, you need to know its clients.

“You can change somebody’s looks immediately,” Lyndia says, by giving them hair they’re proud to wear. “It’s the cheapest, shortest route to a change.”

“I would put them at the elite of the elite within this city,” Mike says.

They include a host of prominent Louisvillians, including John and Elizabeth Oldham, Terri Bass,

And that’s why, sometimes, clients walk out of Lyndia R. Willis Hair Spa crying – for joy. VT For more information, call 502.893.4441 or visit lwillissalon.com.

At 8023 Catherine Lane, the studio offers private lessons and group classes on a nearly 2,500 square-foot comfortable dance floor. You can learn every kind of dance from Viennese Waltz to New York-style Salsa, Samba to West Coast Swing.

While some of Dance Louisville’s students are quite advanced, many of them are beginners.

Barakauskas has designed everything so as to ease the awkwardness for first-time dancers.

The other instructors – three women and two men – have varying levels of experience: seven years, two years, nine months. So however new or advanced you are, you have someone who can relate to you.

“I try to draw from the student base, and say, ‘Hey, look at that person. That person is where either you want to be, or they’re the next step along the path,’” Barakauskas says.

Over the years, he’s learned

some reminders to always give new students. One of those is the importance of setting realistic goals.

“I try to paint the picture, right up front, of expectations,” he says.

So instead of aiming to win some competition off the bat, he encourages them to commit to what they can control, like consistently showing up and working hard.

Barakauskas’ mom, JoAnn Lewis, works as the studio manager.

“It’s fun. It’s been really good for our relationship,” he says.

Barakauskas recommends dancing as a fun chance to perform, to get in shape or to meet new people. If you’re interested in signing up for lessons at Dance Louisville, you can schedule a free 30-minute private lesson, followed by 30 minutes to sit down and ask questions.

“If you have any interest, I think you should try it,” he says. VT For more information, call the studio at 502.377.4859 or visit www.dancelouisville.com.

Peavler has 25 years of experience in the museum and attractions industry as a project director, interpretive planner, advancement and marketing officer and operations director in hospitality, retail, restaurant, attractions, training and human resources. Most recently, she served as Director of Brand Development for Weber Group, Inc., a national design, construction and specialty fabrication firm with broad experience in branded and educational environments.

“I am thrilled and honored to become part of the Frazier family.

I have worked with and appreciated this institution for many years, and it is so exciting to be part of its future,” said Peavler. “I am committed to earning the confidence the board has placed in me and look forward to working with our staff, partners, donors and members to move the Frazier forward as the community asset it is.”

JULIE LEIDNER WINS MARY ALICE HADLEY PRIZE FOR VISUAL ART The Community Foundation of Louisville and Louisville Visual Art Association presented Louisville-based painter, writer, illustrator and collage artist Julie Leidner with the third annual Mary Alice Hadley Prize for Visual Art on Thursday, June 11. The $5,000 award is an opportunity for local artists to enhance their careers with an enrichment experience.

In collaboration with another local artist, Katy Delahanty, Leidner is creating a documentary-style graphic novel that tells the stories of pioneering feminist social activists in Kentucky.

Leidner will use the $5,000 Hadley Prize to travel to New York City to attend the 10th annual New York Art Book Fair and the seventh annual Contemporary Artists’ Book Conference, as well as view museum exhibitions, attend panels and participate in workshops directly related to the collaborative project.

To submit your business brief, email circ@voice-tribune.com.

The award was presented by Robert Hallenberg, Board President of LVAA, and Susan Barry, President and CEO of the Community Foundation of Louisville.

The $5,000 M.A. Hadley Prize is awarded from the George and Mary Alice Hadley Fund at the Community Foundation of Louisville. The endowment was established in 1991, and it supports the arts and humanities, particularly visual arts, crafts, theatre and the Louisville Free Public Library. The award is a partnership between the Community Foundation of Louisville and the Louisville Visual Art Association, which managed the application process.

“The selection committee was very impressed with the artistic samples that Julie provided because they showed true innovation,” said Hallenberg. “Additionally, the potential community impact that her project will have — telling the story of some of Louisville’s pioneering feminists — stood out for the jurors and underlined our interest in supporting the creative community within Louisville.”

When Leidner’s paternal grandmother died in the fall of 2014, she said she regretted not asking her more about her life, accomplishments and dreams. At the same, Delahanty’s paternal grandmother, Dolores Delahanty, a prominent figure in local government, was selecting a group of her peers to write memoirs about their lives and accomplishments.

“The Nature Conservancy is thrilled to partner with the Forecastle Foundation to advance awareness and understanding of our work,” says David Phemister, State Director for The Nature Conservancy’s Kentucky Chapter. “The Foundation has demonstrated a keen interest in supporting conservation both here in Kentucky and around the globe. Their energy and enthusiasm is inspiring, and we welcome the chance to tell our story to a young, diverse audience eager to engage and take direct action to improve their neighborhoods, hometowns and places much farther afield.”

“This new partnership also affords us the opportunity to expand our conservation support across the entire Central Appalachian while compounding the efforts of Kentucky Natural Lands Trust in the Pine Mountain Wildlife Corridor,” said McKnight.

In a striking illustration of the interconnectedness of life on earth, the project in Kentucky is linked to the Foundation’s second project in Parana, Brazil, by the migration of several neotropical species. The collaborative project between the Forecastle Foundation and the Guayaki Foundation will help ensure restoration, preservation and long-term stewardship of 3,000 acres of South American Atlantic rainforest.

The Forecastle Foundation is the non-profit environmental activism arm of the Forecastle Festival, which is held annually at Louisville’s Waterfront Park. The Foundation works year round to benefit conservation work in highly-threatened, biological hot spots. Since its inception in 2011, the Forecastle Foundation has contributed nearly $100,000 to education and conservation efforts in Kentucky and beyond.

FORECASTLE FOUNDATION PARTNERS WITH THE NATURE CONSERVANCY The Forecastle Foundation, a 501(c)(3) non-profit dedicated to preserving areas of abundant biodiversity, today begins a new charitable partnership with The Nature Conservancy’s Kentucky Chapter. Forecastle Foundation funding will help to protect Kentucky’s Green River, a globally important freshwater resource, as well as some of the world’s most important reefs and oceanic diversity in the Pacific Ocean’s Coral Triangle.

Founded in 1951, The Nature Conservancy (TNC) is the world’s leading conservation organization.

The Conservancy envisions a world where the diversity of life thrives, and people act to conserve nature for its own sake and for its ability to fulfill our needs and enrich our lives.

Through their dedicated efforts to protect nature, the Conservancy has more than 600 scientists located in all 50 U.S. states and in more than 35 countries, which allows them to make an impact both locally and globally.

Virginia Feather “Genny” Dulworth Virginia Feather “Genny” Dulworth, 90, passed away on June 13, 2015, at Franciscan Healthcare Center in Louisville, Ky. Genny was born May 7, 1925, in Detroit, Mich. where her family had moved from Kentucky during the boom years prior to the Great Depression. As the Depression deepened, her father, Garrett Feather, mother, Maude Gupton Feather, and Genny with her older siblings, Edith and Samuel Eugene, moved back to Kentucky.

Genny’s parents and brother preceded her in death. Genny’s husband, Robert “Bob” E. Dulworth Sr., an Army veteran of World War II, died on June 8, 1998, and was laid to rest with full Military Honors at Lebanon National Cemetery, Marion County, Ky. Genny is survived by her daughter, Donna Borden (Paul); her son, Robert (“Rob”) E. Dulworth Jr. (Tammy); and two grandsons, Jonathan and Matthew Borden. Also cherishing their memories of Genny are many cousins, nieces, nephews and numerous friends from the Shepherdsville area and the Dorsey Hills Condos in Douglass Hills, where she lived for 12 years prior to moving to Franciscan.

A gracious giving spirit, an ever-present smile, strength to encourage and cheer up those around her even when she was hurting and an endless supply of stories, jokes and creative nicknames are just a few of the ways Genny used to express her love. She was fun to be around. She loved nature and everything about being outdoors, and her joy overflowed to all those around her. Among Genny’s favorite memories were camping trips to Kentucky’s

J U N E 1 8 , 2 0 1 5 • W W W . V O I C E -T R I B U N E . C O M

Green River, Yellowstone National Park, Great Smokey Mountains and her log home near Shepherdsville.

To the Franciscan staff who openly expressed their love for Genny, we give our heartfelt thanks. They clearly came to share our belief that Genny’s courage, good humor and joy for life brightened the space around her.

Also, to many other family, friends and neighbors, we thank each of you for taking the extra time and effort to visit, talk with her and hold her hand. We saw so many at Franciscan that had so few visitors, and each of your visits meant so much to her; we truly thank you.

Memorial contributions may be made to Hosparus of Louisville, 3532 Ephraim McDowell Drive, Louisville, KY, 40205.

A celebration of Genny’s life was noon-8 p.m. on Wednesday, June 17, 2015, at Ratterman Brothers East Louisville, 12900 Shelbyville Road.

Honoring Genny’s request, a portion of her cremains will be scattered in the Great Smokey Mountains, where she loved to travel with her family, and the remainder, with full Military Services, will be interred with her husband Bob at Lebanon National Cemetery, Marion County, Ky.

His right. Our loss.

But I worry that his right is also his loss.

Harvey Araton in the New York Times wrote recently about the physical toll and injuries that befall NBA neophytes. He was talking about Kyrie Irving, but he may as well have been talking about Andrew Wiggins. Or Terrence Jones or Anthony Davis or Julius Randle or John Wall.

All of them suffered significant injuries early in their careers that might threaten their long-term well-being. Sure, they’ll keep some of that money. But these kids want to play ball. It’s who they are, what they do, what they love.

As Aranton wondered, “Is the NBA breaking its young?”

Yeah, injuries are “part of the game.”

We all know that. But they’re becoming an increasing part of the game as men 6-foot-9, 250 pounds race up and down the court, pivoting, jumping, skidding to a stop, twirling in the air, diving on the floor.

and Kevin Love, too.

Towns will turn 20 about the time the next NBA season starts. He played 822 minutes this past season in 39 games. That’s 21 minutes per game. For the Lakers, or the Timberwolves, he’ll be expected to play 40 minutes every night. He’ll hit 820 minutes before Christmas.

I hope it’s a Merry Christmas for Towns.

That would mean one without crutches. VT UK’s Karl-Anthony Towns is hoping to become yet another number one overall pick from his school in the upcoming NBA Draft.

when they come with a great deal of money and the mandate to earn it – right away.

That includes dismissing the pain and getting back into the lineup quickly. Anthony Davis has missed nearly 50 games in his three pro seasons, but keeps bouncing up, smiling, like a punch toy.

John Wall forced himself back into the lineup in this year’s playoffs despite a badly broken hand and wrist.

Terrence Jones was cut down by a strange nerve injury and missed the first 50 games of the Houston Rockets’ season. He also lost his starting job and minutes, and his once very promising pro career is in doubt.

Julius Randle broke his ankle. Even the NBA doesn’t expect a kid to play on a broken ankle. He’s starting all over now, and the Lakers will undoubtedly drive him in fifth gear and watch for signs that he may not come all the way back. They hope he does. But if he doesn’t, there’s Towns or Jahlil Okafor waiting. And Randle becomes last year’s news.

Of course there’s a list of one-and-dones who’ve stayed healthy and thrived. They always cite Carmelo Anthony as the poster boy. And UK’s own Big Cuz. They used to mention Irving, Kevin Durant

Recruiting for Keeps

Sports

Lessons From a Legend Peyton Siva is looking for a new NBA home. The starting point guard of UofL’s 2013 National Champs spent his rookie season with Detroit in the NBA and, after signing with Orlando in year two, was eventually waived. He played 38 games for the Erie BayHawks in the NBA Developmental League in 2014-15, averaging 15.7 points and 6.7 assists per game.

This June, he’s playing some games in the Kentuckiana Pro Am Summer League at Beth Haven Christian School. The league will continue on Thursday, June 18 and Monday, June 22, with the playoffs June 23, 24 and 25. Game times are 6:30 p.m., 7:30 p.m. and 8:30 p.m.

What do you enjoy about this particular summer league?

summer league to get in front of a lot of GMs and a lot of coaches and really try and show my stuff.

It’s great competition. Chris Dowe actually asked me to come out here and play with him. It was a chance for me to come out here and get a good run in, work on some stuff, and I enjoyed it.

You played well last summer for Detroit. How much confidence do you have going into this summer?

July?

It’s very important; working on game shots is important. Especially playing 5-on-5, so I enjoy it. It’s also a good cardio workout.

How much has being a dad changed you?

I changed a lot. I love every minute of it. Seeing my daughter wake up every morning, the smile on her face, it’s truly a blessing.

How much different is your life now?

It’s a lot different. I just have to thank God for it. I’m enjoying it. I love every day of it. I get to work out, play basketball for a living, what more could I ask for?

What is your plan for the rest of the summer?

I’m a free agent right now, so I’m going to play in the Orlando Summer League and the Las Vegas Summer League.

How does that work as far as getting on teams?

They contact you. They have summer league minicamps, but I play in J U N E 1 8 , 2 0 1 5 • W W W . V O I C E -T R I B U N E . C O M

How do you keep your confidence up and know that the next break is coming?

I just have faith in God that whatever happens, happens. I can just go out there and play my hardest, and that’s all I can control.

I know you’re around the YUM! Center on campus. What do you think about the UofL team this upcoming season?

I haven’t seen a lot of the new guys, but I hear good things from Coach Pitino; I talk to him all the time about them.

I know Q is looking really good; I’ve seen him work out a couple of times. Last year, they did a great job – they were one free throw away from going to the Final Four, so they have good core guys coming back, and I’m looking forward to it.

What do you think about Terry and Montrezl in the NBA draft?

I think they’re going to do good, both first round draft picks, and I think it was a great opportunity for them both to leave. VT

here have been special days aplenty since the inaugural Kentucky Derby was run at a track then known as the Louisville Jockey Club in May 1875. Some marvelous nights have followed, too.

Horse Sense JOHN ASHER

But with the passing of a little time, last Saturday’s Downs After Dark celebration at Churchill Downs could require creation of an event category all its own.

Through its 34 runnings, the Stephen Foster Handicap has grown from a fledgling $25,000 stakes race to a $500,000 Grade I racing event that is among the best races for older horses in the United States. This year the Foster offered a carrot to participants of a guaranteed spot in the starting gate for the $5 million Breeders’ Cup Classic at Keeneland, along with the spotlight of a national telecast on the NBCSN network.

So, with a talented group of the nation’s best older racing stars on-hand, the Foster would have been the center of a good night at Churchill Downs in any case.

But it was the presence of one special horse that took the evening into the realm of the unforgettable.

Six weeks after he had won the Kentucky Derby Presented by Yum! Brands, Zayat Stable’s American Pharoah – the horse that accomplished the first sweep of the Triple Crown in 37 years – paraded before nearly 29,000 adoring fans. His appearance under the Twin Spires – which glowed in purple on this night to honor visiting Breeders’ Cup officials – made Churchill Downs THE place to be on Saturday, June 13.

Many of American Pharoah’s growing throng of admirers who gathered at the home of the Kentucky Derby on Saturday had traveled many miles to catch a glimpse of the instant legend. I’ve heard tales of people who had driven from New Orleans, Alabama and Georgia for a chance to see and cheer racing’s new hero, but those stories only scratched the surface.

As has been the case in a seven-racing winning streak that now includes the first sweep of the Derby, Preakness and Blemont Stakes since 1978, American Pharoah and his team did not disappoint.

An essential part of recent Stephen Foster tradition is the presentation of the engraved P H OTO B Y R E E D PA L M E R | C H U R C H I L L D O W N S

winner’s trophies to the owner, trainer, jockey and breeder of the Kentucky Derby winner. The trophies they first held on Derby Day now bear their names and that of their marvelous horse, and all members of the American Pharoah team showed up with family members and friends on Saturday.

That history-making group included Ahmed Zayat, who had come so close to winning the roses with runner-up finishes in three Kentucky Derbys and on this special night accepted both the solid gold trophy earned by the winning owner and the smaller sterling silver trophy for having bred his superstar; trainer Bob Baffert, now a winner of four editions of the “Run for the Roses” and, after three near-misses, the trainer of a Triple Crown winner; and jockey Victor Espinoza, who became the seventh threetime Kentucky Derby-winning rider and only the sixth to win back-to-back Derbys with rides aboard 2014 Horse of the Year California Chrome and now the 2015 Triple Crown winner. Also throw in Jimmy Barnes – Baffert’s assistant trainer and the man who has spent most of his waking moments with the colt since American Pharoah’s arrival at Churchill Downs just over a week before Derby 141.

After American Pharoah paraded in front of the transfixed on-track throng and a national television audience watching the events on NBCSN, he visited the paddock during the running of the Regret Stakes and, on his way back to the barn, joined members of his team for a quick photo in the G.H. Mumm Winner’s Circle.

That moment was another display of American Pharoah’s incredible demeanor, a gentle nature away from the races that belies his on-track domination and excellence. The combination of traits has made the colt, at least for the moment, a trending figure in American pop culture.

Churchill Downs and the Derby dates to 1982, and I have been a member of the track’s team since 1997. There is a long list of moments and memories at the track that I’ll treasure until my final day on the planet, and it’s a sure thing that this celebration will be near the top of my personal favorites – regardless of what happens down the road.

Stephen Foster Handicap night was magical – just like the horse in the center of the spotlight.

And here’s even better news: As we celebrated the historic accomplishments of American Pharoah, it is my firm belief that we have yet to see the best from the Derby and Triple Crown winner. So let us hope for continued good health for the horse and good luck and goodwill to those who have so generously shared him with fans since his Kentucky Derby triumph.

By the time you read this, American Pharoah will have headed back home to Baffert’s Southern California base for a while. But plans for the rest of his career, if all goes well, call for a return to Kentucky for Keeneland’s first Breeders’ Cup World Champions on the last two days of October.

One of my favorite movies is “My Favorite Year,” which has nothing to do with horse racing but everything to do with smiles.

We’re not quite there yet, but there’s a very good chance that the journey of American Pharoah could make that a fitting title for 2015. We still have six months to go, of course, but if there’s any lesson that should have been learned in the first six months of the year, it is this: Never underestimate American Pharoah.

Fasten that seatbelt and enjoy what will be, with any luck, an amazing ride to Lexington and the $5 million Breeders’ Cup Classic in October. VT

“He’s a baby,” Baffert said on a radio interview earlier in the day, “but he’s also a badass.”

After American Pharoah left the winner’s circle for his journey back to the barn, fans were entertained by joyous reactions by Zayat and Baffert when they accepted their trophies, and an off-the-charts impromptu dance party as each hoisted the (yet-to-be-engraved) Triple Crown trophy.

The 2-0 road win in Indianapolis meant that City has yet to give an Open Cup goal in 210 minutes of play. However, the June 16 match tested the first-year club with plenty of offensive weapons lining up for the Fire.

“We all came together for one common goal, and that was to win this game. We wanted to have fun and to try to do our best.”

All three players have battled it out throughout their high school days. Perry, who has played since childhood, notes, “We have been playing with each other since fourth or fifth grade. So I always look forward to playing with Raymond or Dwayne. Those guys bring a lot of energy, and Raymond brings a lot of publicity, of course.”

Perry, Sutton and Spalding all shared the seventh regional player of the year recognition and were named as finalists in the Kentucky Mr. Basketball Award.

Out & About

T

here’s little doubt that Louisville considers itself one of the nation’s most generous cities, so it’s not hard to find a fundraiser or gala taking place on any given night in the city. This year, in order to raise money for the Feed My Neighbor program – which operates the Sandefur Dining Hall out of the Cathedral of the Assumption – organizers have decided to stage Louisville’s own version of “Dancing With The Stars”: Let’s Dance Louisville.

This year’s incarnation will take place on June 27 at the Marriott Louisville Downtown. Cocktails and dinner are followed by an exciting dancing competition that will feature 12 local celebrities. But the best thing about the event is that it’s a chance to raise money for one of the city’s most worthy but lesser-known causes.

“Since the Great Depression, The Cathedral of the Assumption began responding to the needs

of the hungry population living in our community,” explains David Grantz, one of this year’s organizers and member of the Cathedral's congregation.

“Today, the Sandefur Dining Hall, located just behind the Cathedral on 5th Street, provides for the homeless or low income 365 days a year, seven days a week. The dining hall operates with the support of hundreds of volunteers who often come from downtown businesses and who donate their time, talent, and treasure to serve those who need their love and support.”

According to Grantz, while attending the event is a great way to raise money, people should also consider sponsoring a person in the community who needs to use the kitchen on a regular basis.

Calendar

“The easiest way to help the Feed My Neighbor program is for people to consider sponsoring one person in our community,” adds Grantz. “The cost to feed one man, woman or child per month at the Sandefur Dining Hall is $100. So people can become a 12 or six-month sponsor, and 100 percent of your deductible donation will go to the Sandefur Dining Hall.”

But in the meantime, Grantz is looking forward to the dancing event, and he’s keen to stress that it will be one of the most fun nights of the year for the participants and attendees.

“The Feed My Neighbor committee wanted a cross-section of Louisville business owners, community leaders, volunteers and on-air talent to represent our 12 stars. Each ‘dancing star’ is currently training with professional dance instructors from Shall We Dance and Derby City Ballroom, two of Louisville’s most popular dance studios. The public is encouraged to cast a vote for their favorite dancer to increase their people’s choice score. One vote is $1.00 and can be made on the Let’s Dance Louisville website, letsdancelouisville.org. The more funds that are raised through our Let’s Dance Louisville charity event, the more that we can do to help the homeless community,” concludes Grantz. VT

Indian Summer Sibling Camp

What is the Indian Summer Sibling Camp?

that they are not alone.

Indian Summer Sibling camp is a program of Kids Cancer Alliance that focuses on supporting the siblings of children with cancer. When a child is diagnosed with cancer if affects the whole family. Many siblings feel scared, isolated, anxious, and lonely. Sibling Camp offers them a respite and allows them to meet others who have shared experiences. Cancer takes a toll on the entire family, and we feel this is an area where we can help.

For those unaware, what is the Kids Cancer Alliance?

What is the impact of the camp on the kids who take part?

The impact of camp is great. We see better coping skills, increased self-esteem, and positive peer support. Many times it’s just because the kids understand one another. They know what it feels like to want to protect your sibling and not be able too. Many times they are the only person at their school or in their town in this situation.

It helps to have someone who understands what you are going through. We want them to know COURTESY PHOTO

tained. We want to give them attention that’s all their own.

How can people get involved and help the cause?

Beginning with our first oncology camp program in 1981, thousands of brave and amazing kids have found a reprieve from fighting cancer and a powerful alliance of support. Over the years we’ve expanded to provide sibling and family programs as well as in-hospital and financial support. As a non-profit organization, Kids Cancer Alliance relies entirely on donations to keep our programs absolutely free to every kid, sibling, and family.

The best way to get involved is to visit our website. There you can sign up for our newsletter, check out upcoming volunteer opportunities, or make a donation. We are always on the lookout for passionate and dedicated volunteers to help us fulfill our mission. By making a gift or volunteering your time, you help strengthen the alliance of support and give families back a little bit of what cancer took away.

What are some of the activities that kids can enjoy at the camp?

Is there still space at the camp and if so how can people take part?

Our camps look like very traditional summer camp program. We keep cancer in the background and the focus is on fun. You’ll see swimming, arts and crafts, water balloon fights, field games, and lots of other things to keep them happy and enter-

If you know a family that is affected by childhood cancer and would benefit from our programs, we still have space for campers. If families are interested they can contact us at 502.365.1538 or by email at info@kidscanceralliance.org.

According to Werner, the formula really works and is grounded in research from Oxford University that links sounds to how we experience other senses.

According to Werner, the math is very simple. She assigns numeriAuthor Barbara Werner. cal values to food based on heaviness and matches that food to a corresponding piece of music with the same numerical value, which is based on pitch, genre and tempo.

The next course was cheese-stuffed chicken with a brown sugar-encased sweet potato casserole. It was also served with a cherry flavored Manhattan. The cheese was savory and fragrant, while the potato casserole could almost be classed as a dessert with the sugar adding so much sweetness. For Laird, this was another highlight.

“I tasted this before I put on the headphones,” adds Laird. “And I got it. I go, ‘This is unbelievable. Great chicken. Great sweet potatoes.

Well, just ask Louisville’s resident “Chief Entertainment Officer” Tim Laird.

“I was tasting the vanilla ice cream on its own before the music came on. Then, all of a sudden, the opera came on, and the vanilla just jumped out of the flavor profile,” explains Laird. “That to me was so amazing.

There’s no doubt that listening to music while eating changes the experience, but the idea that music changes the taste of the food leaves me a bit more skeptical. However, the fact that someone with Laird’s renowned palate could be swayed may make me go back and try Werner’s dinner once more. Whether or not the taste changes is one thing, but there is no doubt that immersing yourself in music does change the experience. No need for small talk or any other distractions; it’s just about enjoying the food.

It was unbelievable to me. And the ‘a-ha’ with that one too was with the drink because, with that chicken and sweet potato, they had a Manhattan with a little bit more cherry juice.

The Greek temple-like exterior at 3005 River Road can be seen as far back as the top of Zorn Avenue; it is a striking white structure that sits next to a large dark chimney stack.

Stately and ornate, the building has always been a reminder of the city’s richness of grand architecture.

The interior is similar to its gallery days, but the prevalent marble is polished; the majestic old spiraling staircase looks brand new, and the carpeted floor gives the space a new consistency of blue to match the Pure Tap logo.

I had been to this location for many different reasons in the past, such as concerts, a film festival and the wedding of a close friend. While looking better than it ever did as a museum, the space is still available for rental with the convenience of a large prep kitchen for catering.

“We do use it as an opportunity for internal meetings as well as rental,” says Alison G. DeGlande, marketing and event coordinator for Louisville Water Tower Park. “After Louisville Visual Arts Association decided to leave the property, Louisville Water decided that was the time to invest in the restoration and renovation of the inside of the facility, and that included a permanent installation, WaterJ U N E 1 8 , 2 0 1 5 • W W W .

named “The Graveyard of the West.” The name stemmed from westward migrants falling victim to cholera and typhoid fever as a result of the bad water pumped from contaminated wells and cisterns. In addition to improving public health, providing clean water for firefighting was a major motivator when it came to making a waterworks available in the late 19th century.

There’s a full history of every aspect of our city’s water process, from engineering to chemistry. Reproductions of architectural sketches of the Water Company are on display as well.

The Excellence in Water Treatment Award is only given after a stringent review of a community’s water treatment facilities, practices and results and signifies that a water treatment facility has the highest possible level of performance and produces water quality that surpasses the required federal standards. “This is a great day for our Louisville Water employees who work hard every day and a triumph for our entire community that can take pride that we have some of the highest quality and safest drinking water in the country,” said Louisville Water President and CEO Jim Brammell.

ater and an interactive video player for exploring informative videos relating to Louisville Water’s history.

But the exploration doesn’t end there. Field trips and group tours provide opportunities to see the massive mechanical undertakings that bring water into the city.

“On the guided walking tour, you get to go into the Water Tower itself and then over into our current pumping station,” says DeGlande.

“Then we take you and let you peak onto the walkway that heads over to our intake tower.

You get to see the building where we’re actually taking in 80 percent of Louisville’s water every day.”

The tour also juxtaposes the old with the new by displaying the current mechanics of the electric pumping station with the original massive steam engine, which is historically preserved.

DeGlande stresses that the experience at the museum explores “much more than just drinking water. There’s architecture at the facility. There are chemists on staff. We have engineers. The opportunities and the outreach that our organization has across lots of different disciplines are really interesting.

The Kentucky Derby Museum’s 2015 Hat Contest Winners

EMPLOYEES’ CHOICE David McRoy, from Louisville, Ky., received the 2015 Employees’ Choice Award for his original hat.

Not only does the hat resemble a jockey’s helmet but, as McRoy notes, the hat also “has different changeable toppers... [and includes] four push buttons ... [that play] 1. Horse whinny, 2. Call to post, 3. ‘My Old Kentucky Home,’ 4. ‘And they're off.’”

JUDGES’ CHOICE: This year, two contestants received the Judges’ Choice Award for their creative hats.

Anita Cauley, from Louisville, Ky., created a beautiful hat that, she explains, was made from “Gold silk lame [and] gold embroidered Chantilly lace ... [It includes] 20 bias cut bows [and a] little champagne veil."

Jenny Pfanenstiel, from Louisville, Ky., also received the Judges’ Choice Award. Describing her creative process, Pfanenstiel notes that she took strips of straw braid and sewed it into a circle in the center…

Then she criss-crossed the straw braid going around the circle and sewed it down. Pfanenstiel finished the hat by stripping a rooster quill and attached it to the hat with straw braid.

MOST REPRESENTATIVE OF DERBY: Two recipients’ hats were named Most Representative of Derby.

Rose Monzyk, from Washington, Missouri was selected as a winner for her elegant pink and black hat. The hat includes a pink sinamay large brim with wide bias trim and a black sinamay crown with a black hand rolled bias band ending in free flowing loops.

Elizabeth Russell, from Battletown, Ky., also received this award for her whimsical hat “Chateaugay.” The hat is named after the 1963 Derby winner whose name in French translates to ‘make a statement.’ According to Russell – and we certainly agree – “This hat definitely makes a statement with rich elegant colors."

But so many of the people that she on Amazon, Indiebound and locally at spent time with, it turned out, were famous in one way or another. Some Carmichael’s Bookstore.

So what made you want to start looking into Henrietta’s past? Was there anything that triggered that? Or had you always been interested in your family’s history?

Well, no I wasn’t always that interested in my family history ...[but] when I was doing an oral history with my grandmother ... [she explained that Henrietta] was an “invert you know”...

I later learned that this was an early term for homosexuality that has completely fallen out of use ... As I got a little older [I learned] about how she had some involvement in the Bloomsbury group, which I’ve always been kind of interested in ... it just meant that there was this extraordinary, rule-breaking coterie of intellectuals and creative people in England that she had apparently known a little bit. [After I named my second child Henrietta], people would kind of bring these offerings [about J U N E 1 8 , 2 0 1 5 • W W W . V O I C E -T R I B U N E . C O M

So what my job became was to go around the country and even to England ... where I would sneak into these special collections [and] look for mentions of her in their correspondence or diaries.

So going through all that research, do you have a favorite story about Henrietta that you found?

I guess the one that to me is just so vivid... is of a night [in London] where this writer named David Garnett is giving a party in a studio of his painter friends.

[Henrietta] took up the mandolin and a circle formed around her and she started to sing ... in this soft, caressing voice of the South, low, low voice. People fell in love with her immediately that night. One man and one woman. And they pursued her for the next three or four years. So that’s the kind of

drama she was able to create around her.

This book really sounds great; I’m a huge history nerd. But for people who aren’t as into the Jazz Age, what would you want them to take away from the book?

We all have some branch on our family tree that we don’t really know about, possibly because of some kind of silence that has fallen over it ... [It] might derive from a feud, or it might be a mental health issue, or it might be that someone committed suicide, or it may be a sexuality issue and those stories. [But] those individuals have shaped our families even if we aren’t talking about them ... I really encourage everyone to think about [their families] and ask those questions. Ask your family members around you what they might know because you will come away, even if you just get a tidbit or two, with a fuller picture of who you are and how your family became what it is.

Designer vs. Homeowner

ots of Louisville homeowners of a particular age are downsizing these days as the last of their children goes off to college and the nest empties out.

Not everyone downsizes so dramatically, though, as Robin and Tom Cole did, going from 3,400 square feet in Lake Forest to 1,700 in Bellemeade.

Homeowner Robin walked in with her eyes open; this 1951 ranch house was pretty much everything she wanted.

Home of the Week STEVE KAUFMAN

So where’s a professional interior decorator when you need one?

Robin was lucky to find one who lived conveniently nearby and shared practically all her tastes, preferences and opinions: herself.

Robin owns Robin’s Nest Interiors, a design firm and retail store on South English Road off Route 60, east of the Gene Snyder.

“I’d always wanted a ranch house,” she says. “And I also wanted an older house, one we could renovate.”

This house had her at “c’mon in.”

“When I walked in the front door, the first thing I saw was the back of the living room, an exposed brick wall with these huge old windows and a big magnolia tree in the back.

That’s when Designer Robin stepped in for Homeowner Robin.

“I did all kinds of research,” the designer said, “and scoured the city – antique shops, galleries, salvage shops, estate sales.”

She was also pretty inventive. For example, instead of heavy wooden slat blinds in the master bedroom, she installed silhouette shades, which look like blinds from the ’50s but are actually all-fabric. They’re softer and lighter and provide better privacy than old-fashioned wooden blinds do.

“We weren’t used to having a bedroom in the front of the house,” said Homeowner Robin.

“You can’t get that kind of character in a new home,” she said. “It was exactly what I’d been looking for.”

However, the age and character of the house also presented the homeowner with some challenges: closet space (small), bathrooms (few) and kitchen (old). Also, she was determined to respect the mid-century period of the house by adding only that which was age-appropriate.

So the client handed everything over to the designer and said “you do it!”

With all the research and shopping, not everything was possible. For example, the bathroom f loor contained a pattern of tiny octagonal tiles that she Opportunity Knocks... just couldn’t find.

All of which was all right with both the designer and the homeowner. “I didn’t want this to be a curated museum show of the 1950s,” said one of them – I forget which. “It was all meant to be subtle and livable.

I didn’t want to be boxed in by what I could buy or bring from the old house.”

Life

Still, what to bring from the old house did cause a few battles between the practical designer and the emotional homeowner. They ended up finding room for compromises.

A large French Country sideboard that had fit perfectly in the old dining room was a bit large for this one. “However,” said the homeowner, “I was giving up a lot of cabinet space in this kitchen, so it made sense to keep it.”

There was no place for a bombay grandfather clock with a painted finish. But it had been Homeowner Robin’s 10th anniversary present.

“Then we decided to remodel the entryway,” said Designer Robin, “moving a powder room door around the corner to the hallway and putting a wall there, with space perfect for the clock.”

A slightly bigger problem was the homeowner’s 20th anniversary present, a baby grand piano. “No way I was going to part with that,” she said. So the designer placed it in front of the wall of windows in the back of the living room, where it occupies a stately position, and filled the rest of the room with comfortable seating.

“We decided not to have a TV in the living room,” said the designer, “which gave us a lot of flexibility with the furniture. This way, not everything has to face the TV.” The homeowner agreed. “We actually have more seating here than we did in the old house,” she said.

“We had people over for Memorial Day, and I was amazed by how comfortable the room was.”

Both agreed on a neutral wall palette – colors like Accessible Beige and Tony Taupe (from Sherwin Williams) and Nantucket Gray (from Benjamin Moore) – and reupholstered furniture with a lot of colors and patterns, which they both happen to love.

“We used Melissa Bell, who owns Bad Cat Upholstery.”

Bad Cat? “Yes, she started her business because her cat was ruining her own furniture. And every time her cat climbed up on a chair, she’d say...” VT

Jurassic World is Just Good Enough Film BENNETT DUCKWORTH

“J

bennettduckworth.blogspot.com

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

urassic World” is the best sequel in the “Jurassic Park” franchise … and that’s a minor compliment. It’s the first entry to throw caution to the wind and behave like an unrestrained dino-rampage movie that big kids want to see. The result is a mixed bag full of fun and stupidity.

The movie asks the question: What if the intentions of the park’s creators in the first movie were eventually realized a couple decades later? In this movie, we visit an alternate universe where de-extinction is commonly accepted and the renamed “Jurassic World” is one of the most popular vacation resorts in the world.

We follow two adolescent brothers (Ty Simpkins and Nick Robinson) as our surrogates into the world of the movie. The younger one of the two is excited, while the older one is distracted by his smartphone, just as impressed by real live dinosaurs as we are with modern CGI. Their Aunt Claire (Bryce Dallas Howard)

is the resort’s power-suit administrator, exhibiting careless motivation to take the park’s already booming popularity up a level with a dangerous new experiment in dino-cloning.

Chris Pratt is the park’s Raptor-wrangler working on training the animals while catching the eye of a security specialist (Vincent D’Onofrio) who sees their potential for military weaponization.

All these elements culminate to result in dinosaurs on the loose, kids in peril, an uptight businesswoman letting loose to save the day and a badass who can wield the rage of raptors in his favor. These contrivances are justified by the generic sci-fi jargon of writers Rick Jaffa and Amanda Silver (“Rise of the Planet of the Apes”) and are lightened up with humor by director Colin Trevorrow and his regular co-writer, Derek Connolly. How their semi-entertaining comedy, “Safety Not Guaranteed,” landed them this coveted project is beyond me, but at least it isn’t boring.

If there’s one thing I know, it’s that I’m probably never going to get the “Jurassic Park” sequel that I want. The original movie deserved a follow-up, which dug deeper into what the first movie started. Until this movie, we hadn’t even returned to the original island. Now I’m getting things I always wanted out of a JP sequel accompanied by

She says “The Clearing” reflects her many musical interests more completely than recent solo efforts, piecing together works composed between 2009 and 2014. Grimes and her current ensemble will perform at the Kentucky Center on Friday, June 26.

This is your second solo album, and it's definitely different from the first.

Can you tell me about how writing the new album went in such a different direction?

ple from far-flung places on this album: an engineer from Brussels, a string trio from Amsterdam and one of my favorite recording artists from Vancouver, Loscil.

How did you start working with Loscil, and how much did he add to this?

In the spring of 2014, I had been introduced to Scott Morgan via email, and being a huge fan of his work, I unabashedly asked him if he would consider working on the “Airs” to help create that unique atmosphere

I was imagining. I was delighted when he said yes, and we exchanged music files most of the summer of 2014 to create the six “Airs.”

My idea was for Scott to process, or as I called it, “Loscilize,” the existing individual tracks of violin, piano, strings to expand the soundscape, giving an ambient background to the acoustic tracks in the foreground. He also brought new shape to some of the short songs, adding intros and endings.

What other collaborations have you enjoyed in the past few years, and where have you traveled?

I have loved going to Europe, and last fall to Japan and Taiwan. I just returned from sitting in for three shows in Portland and Seattle with the Portland Cello Project. I arranged several of my songs for their group: 10 cellos, two trumpets, bass and drums. Had a great time writing a suite of pieces with cellist Julia Kent for a visual art exhibit in Belfast called “Doppelgänger,” by Peter Liversidge. I have written some music with the band ästrid from Nantes, France, and last spring we got to perform those songs with Sylvain Chauveau singing on several of them. Also, really having a romp with actor Chris Wells creating a musical theatre piece centered around his memoir. VT

I have been experimenting with many different ensembles and processes for making new music over the last several years - usually beginning with improvising at the piano, then ideas for specific instruments come out of that process. I make sketches with pencil and then move to Sibelius to arrange the parts for other instruments. Most of the time I have several pieces of music in development, flowing along at different rates.

Between 2011 and 2014, I had several other large creative projects that consumed a lot of my time, so some of these chamber pieces sat dormant for a bit. In between, I was developing more solo piano music and touring. Eventually, a collection of pieces for an album was evident to me, and then it was a question of finalizing the scores, getting the recordings and finding a pleasing sequence. I developed “The Airs” last spring to be connective tissue, weaving in and out around the larger chamber works.

This time, you bring in members of Rachel's and King’s Daughters & COURTESY PHOTO

MURDER AT THE CULBERTSON MANSION! It is time again for the Friends of Culbertson Mansion’s annual Funeral Murder Mystery Dinner. This Murder Mystery takes place in 1892 with the death of William S.

Little did anyone know that lawsuits would be filed after the reading of his last will and testament, and as tempers flare, greed can always lead to murder. Performance dates are Friday June 26 and Saturday June 27 at 7:00 p.m. Tickets are $25 and include dinner.

collaborACT!

SPOTLIGHT What exactly is Acting Against Cancer? Is it a charity or a theatre company?

It’s both! We are a nonprofit theatre company dedicated to performing theatrical productions to raise money for pediatric cancer research and treatment. We work to encourage art therapy in particular as a modality of cancer treatment, and we are currently in a partnership with the cancer center at Kosair Children’s Hospital. We’ve actually pledged $100,000 to its art therapy program!

So in addition to raising funds and awareness, you perform shows around town?

Yes. We perform three-show seasons in different venues around Louisville. Our shows tend to be more adult-oriented, but we definitely throw some family-friendly stuff in sometimes. Like our upcoming season has Green Day’s “American Idiot” but also the musical “The Addams Family.” We try to provide something for every theatre goer.

Tell us about “collaborACT!” What is it?

At its heart, “collaborACT!” is a celebration of collaboration. But on the surface, it’s a massive party and concert in the lobby of The Kentucky Center. It’s on Friday, June 26, and it’s going to be a truly spectacular night. You walk in, and immediately, you’re surrounded by incredible hors d’oeuvres, an open wine and beer bar, representatives from different Louisville arts organizations and a silent auction with items like a stay J U N E 1 8 , 2 0 1 5 • W W W .

at Lake Tahoe. We’re also going to have an AACpack station, where guests can create customized goody bags that we will deliver to cancer patients in the hospital.

So that’s the pre-show. What’s the main event?

That’s the best part! The centerpiece of “collaborACT!” is a musical theatre concert featuring some of the best theatre companies of Louisville. Tom Dunbar is the emcee, so he’ll be hosting this incredible show that will have performances by us, Theatre [502], StageOne Family Theatre, CenterStage and Pandora Productions.

What kind of songs can we expect to see?

We’re performing songs from a few shows we’ve done and a couple from some we will do. We have songs from “Spring Awakening,” “RENT,” “American Idiot” and more.

Then the other companies will be bringing selections from The Who’s “Tommy,” “Passion” and a couple others.

So it’s really a night for theatre lovers.

Absolutely, but it’s also a night for everyone! After the concert, which is absolutely family-friendly, we’ve got live music and dancing back in the lobby, plus some tasty treats from SnoWhat Louisville, which offers incredible gourmet snow cones. And the best part is it’s all for a really amazing cause.

One hundred percent of the profits from

“collaborACT!” will go toward the funding and sustaining of Kosair Children’s Hospital art therapy program for cancer patients.

And how much are tickets?

Tickets cost $65 for the full experience, which I think is a steal! Dinner, drinks and a show? Sign me up. However, we also do have a $30 limited experience ticket with just the show and after party and no open bar. Whichever you choose though, you can bet you will have a truly amazing time at what is sure to be one of the most memorable nights of the summer.

Tickets for “collaborACT!” and more information about the event are available by visiting actingagainstcancer. com or by calling 502.593.1095.

Meet Zoey, a beautiful eight-year-old brown and black tabby cat with a lot of love to give. Just offer Zoey your hand and you’ll be gifted with lots of kitty kisses. Zoey came to KHS when her family had to move. She’d probably be happiest in a home without dogs. If you have a place in your family and heart for a loving and gentle cat, why not give Zoey the home she so deserves and longs for? Zoey is spayed, micro-chipped and up-to-date on her vaccinations. Come meet her today at the Kentucky Humane Society’s Preston Feeders Supply adoption center, 5763 Preston Highway.

Six-year-old Jenny is a Jack Russell Terrier mix who still has a lot of energy. She came to the Kentucky Humane Society when her owner passed away.

In her last home, she spent time with dogs and farm animals. She does better with male dogs.

She loves people, and she would be happy to find a place where people had time for her and gave her plenty of exercise. Jenny is a fence climber, so she will need supervision in the yard. She’s spayed, micro-chipped and up-to-date on her vaccinations. Come meet her today at our Clarksville Feeders Supply adoption center, 229 E. Lewis & Clark Pkwy., Clarksville, IN.

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