G N I K C I K SUMMER F F O As the days get hot and the sunlight stretches Louisville days to a nearly ludicrous length, many people are looking for a little something to keep them busy. While some may hike or fish, or just sit in the sun and bask, others will look to sports.

Lots of people have a favorite pick-up game of basketball they regularly visit, and the tennis courts around town stay busy. But we at The Voice-Tribune wanted to check in on some of the lesser-known sports around town and chat with some of the passionate people who keep these clubs, teams and leagues running. While there’s nothing wrong with good ol' UofL and UK basketball, take a look at some of the more diverse offerings around the city: rugby, ultimate and women’s football.

“It is going to be in the Olympics this year for the first time since 1924, when the U.S. actually won,” says Louisville Rugby President Joe Parrish.

According to Parrish, “Louisville Rugby is one of the oldest clubs in America. They were formed in 1969, and they’ve been a part of the Midwest Rugby Union since the mid-’70s.” But don’t let their history and pedigree put you off. “We’re open to the public. We do have guys who walk in off the street having never played before, just as I did myself in 2009,” says Parrish.

While it’s open to first-timers, there are some stakes involved in the regional competitions that

With its origins stretching back to the early 1800s, rugby has never caught on in America quite the same way that other sports have. Outsiders often think of it as football without pads. Expect a lot more people to be talking about it this summer though.

Louisville Rugby attends and hosts: “It’s a step above a local beer league. There is something you are playing toward, a national championship, every year.”

Parrish insists that the public perception of how rugby works is wrong. “A very common misconception of rugby is it’s football without pads, that [the players] are crazy out there without the pads.

As I learned quickly, any football skills I had did not translate at all – the tackling is a lot smarter.”

Parrish adds that players never lead with their heads, so there are fewer concussions than in football. “Players play under control instead of

out of control,” he describes.

He says it’s something you have to watch to understand, and with the Olympics coming up, maybe Parrish and the other members of Louisville Ruby will have a lot more people walking in.

Their official league play runs from fall to spring, but they stay busy all summer and say it’s an ideal time to come learn the skills and get in shape.

Go check it out at Cherokee Park at 6:30 p.m. on Tuesday and Thursday nights.

E T A M LTI

Back when people were just reusing pie pans and tossing them around for fun, somebody came up with the idea of turning the lazy pastime into a sport.

U

Once the harder plastic disks were invented, the games got a little more serious, and in the late 1960s, the term “Ultimate Frisbee” started being used to describe the game, which is something like a cross between football and soccer but with a flying disc. It’s gotten more competitive over the years with national club teams and codified rules.

The game has since dropped the trademarked word “Frisbee” and is now known simply as ultimate.

In Derby City, the Louisville Ultimate Frisbee Association (LUFA) has grown to as many as 22 teams that play four seasons a year.

Ray Yeager, LUFA’s current president, first got into ultimate in high school: “I played very casually in high school – we had an ultimate club. Then I went to UofL and somebody came around with hand-out flyers for the league.”

Yeager also plays on a local club team that competes with clubs in other cities. While some members of LUFA are longtime players, many are more relaxed “Anybody can show up to our leagues,” he says.

The rules are pretty simple to pick up. Teams face each other on a long field, pretty similar to a football field. Each try to move the disc down the field to the other team’s end zone. One of the challenges of the game is that unlike soccer and football, there is no running with the disc – once you catch it, you have to stay put until you throw it.

Obviously, you want to throw it fast before you get swarmed. What results is a fast-paced game with quick cuts down the field, various defensive and offensive styles and a lot of running. “It’s great exercise,” asserts Yeager. “It’s all the exercise I could ever ask for.”

Like many of the sporting teams and leagues in Louisville, the culture and the camaraderie of ultimate is just as important to the participants as the game itself. “Everybody is really nice, really relaxed,” says Yeager.

In the spring, the league’s teams split into competitive and recreational – a split they’ll make for next summer’s season as well. That way, the players

who are a little more intense can have a game that challenges them without keeping less-experienced players off the field.

LUFA holds periodic clinics to work on the basics for newbies who want to have some skills before they show up for their first game. Yeager also points to a large number of pick-up games all over the city.

The league is additionally trying to expand its offerings for high-schoolers; they currently have several high school teams. Yeager claims that ultimate is popular in schools but doesn’t always have institutional support. “Because it’s not a traditional sport, a lot of the athletic directors don’t really care about ultimate,” he says.

Yeager imagines a day that traditional high-school rivalries can be played out ultimate style. “You could have St. X versus Trinity, or Manual versus Male.”

“We like to think that a woman can do anything that a man can do,” says Thelma Banks, owner, offensive coach and center of the Derby City Dynamite.

The Dynamite is Louisville’s lady tackle football team, a member in good standing of the Women’s Football Alliance, a national organization.

Banks, known as T Banks to her players, says that while the sport is still broadly misunderstood, the action is real. “I promise if you come to a game, you will see some absolutely amazing hits. However, it’s on a different level than the men.

To me, the women are more about finesse and technique.”

Banks has been playing tackle football for 11 years, starting with the Kentucky Karma, a previous Louis-

ville team that shut down in 2011. After the Karma called it quits, Banks and several other players started the Dynamite.

The players on the team range in age from 18 to 43 with Banks being the oldest participant currently playing, though they’ve had even older players in the past: “The oldest we’ve ever had – there was a mother-daughter combo – one was 50, one was 18,” Banks recounts.

The sport is growing according to Banks as part of a national shift that includes several changes. More girls are playing football as kids, and even the NFL is changing with

where.” There are over 100 teams playing nationally with some games drawing over 1,000 people.

It comes as no surprise that not everyone is supportive of the idea of more women in football or a women’s tackle league. “I had a referee one year tell us, ‘I think you should be in the kitchen cooking somewhere instead of out here. This sport is too rough for you,’” Banks remembers.

In the summer, the Dymamite takes it easy. “We do Work Out Wednesdays – we get together and do agility.” Banks offers that, like Louisville Rugby, this is an ideal time for newcomers to see what it’s all about. “It gives girls the opportunity to see what it’s like before they make an actual commitment.”

Despite detractors, Banks believes the nation-wide growth will continue, noting, “The WNBA had to start some-

Then she taught at Byck of books and craft materials.

After that, she became principal at Trunnell, a post she would hold for 15 years.

These days when students come to Stokes for help, she draws on that wealth of experience. If they want to write a tall tale, for example, she knows exactly how to teach it.

Stokes used to have the stu-

dents in her classroom research famous people or careers and then write stories about them. What makes a tall tale a tall tale, she explains, it that you just exaggerate the facts.

Or, if students need to write a poem, she might show them how to write a three-column poem.

Two people read in turns from the outside columns and in unison from the center column, creating a charming rhythm.

Stokes says these kinds of things work both for school and for special occasions. You could memorialize your grandfather by writing a tall tale about him, perhaps, or honor your mom on Mother’s Day with a poem.

In fact, Stokes also helps people come up with fun ideas for family reunions – though again, she’ll approach it as a teacher, not an event planner.

“I’m not going to do all the work for them,” she says. “I’ll help them bring up the creative juices and think about all the possibilities.”

In addition to all her teaching and inspiring, Stokes has assembled four books that chronicle the experiences of famous people in American history in the form of fictional – but historically accurate – postcard messages.

In “Postcards from Abe,” set from 1842-1865, Abraham Lincoln writes to Lucy Speed at Farmington Plantation in Louisville. In “Postcards from Daniel,” set from 1755-1784, Daniel Boone writes from the Kentucky wilderness to family in North Carolina.

“This is my avenue in retirement,” Stokes says.

“This keeps me active and happy and involved.” VT For more information, call 502.759.5243, email theoneroomschoolhouse@yahoo.com or visit the-one-room-schoolhouse.blogspot.com.

GLOBAL LEGACY OF MUHAMMAD ALI HONORED BY UPS FOUNDATION GRANT The Muhammad Ali Center announced on June 20 that it has received a $500,000 grant from The UPS Foundation to honor the legacy of the late humanitarian, cultural icon and heavyweight champion boxer, Muhammad Ali. The gift will fund the Ali Center's education initiatives including UCrew, Generation Ali, its character education program “Creating Our Future” and the Muhammad Ali Center Council of Students (MACCS).

UCrew instills in students the tools necessary to conceptualize and launch a small social enterprise, produce and market a product or service, and generate profits that are used to combat social issues such as poverty and hunger. The Generation Ali initiative draws its inspiration from Muhammad Ali’s six guiding principles (confidence,

conviction, dedication, giving, respect and spirituality) and fosters a new generation of leaders to find a cause worth fighting for to transform the world in positive and compassionate ways.

The “Creating Our Future” program, designed for middle and high school-age youths, guides students to explore Ali’s principles and utilize them in a life plan in preparation for their futures. The Muhammad Ali Center Council of Students is a youth-led program consisting of a diverse group of dynamic students who participate in service work, learning projects and leadership development.

obituaries Jana Allen Jana Allen, of Louisville, passed away peacefully, June 14, 2016 surrounded by friends and family. She is survived by her husband Murray Allen, daughter Caroline Boardman (Terry), son Chip Allen and grandchildren William and Elizabeth Boardman.

Jana was born in Dover, Delaware on October 9th 1946; she moved soon afterwards to live out her life in Louisville. As a child Jana and her two sisters lived part-time between Louisville and Cuba, where her parents, Richard Davis and Juanita McAfee, owned a home. Jana had a yearning to return, revealed by her eagerness to reminisce of those times. She often spoke of her pet monkey Bimbo that fled with them when Castro took power, but was denied entry into the United States.

After graduating Fern Creek High School, Jana was set to take a job as a flight attendant; that career was interrupted when she decided to marry Murray Allen. They lived for awhile in New Mexico where Murray was stationed and then with her parents for a year when he was deployed during the Vietnam war.

They made their home on Walnut Lane in Anchorage. Taking after her Grandfather’s green thumb, Jana joined the Anchorage garden club eventually becoming President. She took a job at the Farmington Historic Home as the head of volunteers overseeing its gardens and for many years she was in charge of the annual plant sale. In addition, her enthusiasm and talent designing flower arrangements were displayed in many weddings.

Jana effortlessly made everyone’s world beautiful. She possessed an intuition for what was pretty; from gardens and flowers to decorations and furniture.

She always found the time to help those having difficulties, however big or small. She was a natural mediator and a refuge for sound advice.

In her later years, her most gratifying pastime was doting on her grandchildren whom she loved dearly.

Visitation was held at the Allen residence at 3125 Randolph Ave, on Monday, June 20th at 5:00-7:30.

The memorial service was held graveside at Resthaven Memorial Park, 4400 Bardstown Road, at 11 a.m. Tuesday June 21st.

Gwendolyn Owens Barlow Gwendolyn Owens Barlow, 93, died peacefully on June 15 in the loving embrace of her family. Gwen was born on January 30, 1923. Her parents, FW Owens, Sr. and Hattie Thacker Owens raised Gwen in Louisville where she attended Louisville Girls’ High School. She matriculated at Ward Belmont College in Nashville then transferred to the University of Kentucky where she was a Tri-Delt. Gwen married her husband, Chase, during WW2 in 1944.

Gwen and Chase made a home for their four children on a farm off Brownsboro Road. Chase owned and operated a lumber company in Louisville while Gwen raised the children and volunteered while serving in the Younger Women’s Club and the Women’s Club. In addition, she was an active member of the Smith Circle at Broadway Baptist Church (her church for 60 years).

Weekly bridge games and entertaining friends rounded out her busy days. Over the years, Gwen and Chase formed many close friendships at Harmony Landing, the Pendennis Club and the Boat Club.

After the children were raised, Gwen and Chase spent the winters in Naples where, out of necessity, Gwen became an internet pioneer so she could read the Courier Journal while in Naples and the Naples

Daily News while in Louisville. An additional impetus for her internet savvy was the fact that her grandchildren were entering college so she was able to communicate with them via email (using her trademark ALL CAPITALS style). “Nanaw” wanted to know every detail of her grandchildren’s lives and what better way to keep up with (spy on!) them than through Facebook and Instagram.

Despite her inquisitive nature, Gwen was an incredibly thoughtful grandparent and was an important part of all her grandchildren’s lives.

Gwen was a voracious reader of all written media. She generally read a book a week and daily scanned four to five newspapers online. As a result, Gwen could discuss either current events of great import or salacious topics covered in the tabloids. Gwen loved learning people’s stories and as a result cultivated many close relationships everywhere she landed, most recently with her many wonderful caretakers at the Episcopal Church Home.

Gwen was predeceased by her husband Chase. She is survived by children Sarah (Paul) Keith, Charles “Buzz” Barlow, Barry (Margaret) Barlow and Lucy (Bobby) Mayson, grandchildren Skiles Keith, Chase (Ian) O’Brien, Benton (Maggie) Keith, Elizabeth (Michael) Petty, Meredith (Matt) Horn, Barrett (Greg) Bartram, Tiffany (Garrett) Maloney, Grace (Paul) Dent, Frank Barlow, Mac Barlow, Lawton King, Clark (Jordan) King, Taylor King and seven great grandchildren.

A private burial was held on June 17. Expressions of sympathy can be sent to the Episcopal Church Home or the West End School.

Orin Burhl Bond Jr., DVM Orin Burhl Bond Jr., 65, died Friday, June 17, 2016, at his farm in Fisherville, Kentucky. He was the son of the late Norma Ruth Ellingsworth Bond and Orin Burhl Bond, Sr. He was born October 29, 1950,

16

in Louisville, Kentucky.

couple of months ago, during the NCAA tournament, a TV panel of experts debated whether or not Kentucky had underachieved during the John Calipari Era.

“Four Final Four appearances in seven years?” asked Seth Greenberg, a 20-year college basketball head coach. A national championship? I don’t think so.

He wrote:

John Wall and DeMarcus Cousins didn’t; Brandon Knight and Terrence Jones didn’t; Karl-Anthony Towns and Trey Lyles didn’t.

Catnip

“In the past four years, Kentucky has had three No. 2-ranked recruiting classes and the No. 1 class (in 2013). However, the Wildcats missed the NCAA tournament once in that span and then received a No. 8 seed the following year.”

He tried to soften his position by reminding us that “one has to remember, this is all relative to recruiting class rankings.” In other words, it’s an “underachievement” only in context.

That context is, I guess, “great freshman squads should have better outcomes.”

I suppose it would be instructive to go back and chronicle which other schools had the top recruiting classes in those past four years and how they did in the tournaments. But since ESPN takes it upon itself to catalog all those recruiting rankings, I imagine Borzello had already done that.

So there are two ways to react to this. Either, one, give Borzello the narrow definition he’s working with and assume he’s right, or two, get very bellicose about anyone denigrating the Kentucky program, especially during the Calipari Era. I suggest a third way: to try predicting how high school recruiting should be a precursor to college success – especially in these days when the best incoming freshmen have only that one season to validate the prediction.

And that’s a false indicator. Having great freshmen is only one element of a basketPHOTO BY VICTORIA GRAFF

Anthony Davis and Michael Kidd-Gilchrist did, but only with solid contributions from Jones, Doron Lamb and Darius Miller.

For that matter, Towns and Lyles – and Devin Booker and Tyler Ulis – almost did as well, but along with Willie Cauley-Stein, Dakari Johnson and Andrew and Aaron Harrison.

In the old days, great freshmen were a treasure to be nurtured and developed with the hope they’d grow into the ingredients needed for a championship run or two. Today, most of them are treasures to be appreciated and adored as they zip through their single season on their way to the NBA draft.

By that definition, most Kentucky freshmen have not underachieved. From Wall to Davis to Julius Randle to Towns to Jamal Murray, they’ve pleased and excited Big Blue Nation.

That most of them have brought UK deep into the tournament – and that once they brought back the big prize – is only part of the reward of having them here.

The NCAA tournament is a peculiar animal of single-elimination. Every year, 63 colleges and universities – some following amazing seasons of their own – trip up somewhere along the way and aren’t standing at the end.

It’s not just Kentucky.

Duke has won twice in Cal’s time – meaning it has been denied five times. Nobody is saying that Duke has underachieved. Butler got to the championship game two years in a row – and lost twice. Underachievers?

Wisconsin, North Carolina and Michigan State all lost in the final game. Are their players considered underachievers? How much scrutiny does Bill Self ’s record get? Or Tom Izzo’s?

I still feel the thrill of Aaron Harrison’s two buzzer-beaters against Louisville and Michigan. I barely remember the title game.

Calipari’s teams have neither “under-” nor “over-” achieved. They just play great ball. VT V O I C E -T R I B U N E . C O M • J U N E 2 3 , 2 0 1 6

Joe Montana’s Heart of Gold

Joe Montana won four Super Bowls as the starting quarterback for the San Francisco 49ers and was the Most Valuable Player in three of the four. The Notre Dame grad was inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 2000. Montana is active nowadays in helping to build awareness about heart disease and, with Amgen, has recently launched the Breakaway from Heart Disease campaign to help Americans take charge of their heart health.

Did you get to see him much last season?

What inspired you to be a part of launching Breakaway from Heart Disease?

I actually think this is a great partnership for us because Amgen and the Breakaway from Heart Disease partners are the American Heart Association and Schwinn, and what we’re trying to do with the campaign is get the word out about how dangerous this disease is, how preventable it might be and things that you can do to help lower your risk.

Taylor’s 10 KENT TAYLOR WAVE3 Sports

Do you have a family history?

I was diagnosed after I retired with high blood pressure and high cholesterol. I have a family history behind me on my mother’s side. My grandfather passed away at 54 and two of her siblings had heart attacks in their early 50s, so it was in front of me. I just didn’t want to believe that it was going to happen to me. This is a disease I thought was for people who were 60 or 70 years old.

How can people get involved?

We have great information on the website, breakawayfromheartdisease.com, about cycling events that are coming up and how you can get involved with this project. Hey, if you make the events or the cycling, upload a photograph of you on a bike or on a stationary bike to the website and it triggers a donation to the American Heart Association and also allows you to be a part of a contest to win two Schwinn bicycles.

Switching gears to football talk, what do you think of former UofL quarterback Teddy Bridgewater after his first two seasons with Minnesota?

It’s the best thing that’s happened to Minnesota in a long time on the quarterback side.

He’s obviously off to a pretty good start, and he’s a talented young player with a big future ahead of him. He can make all the throws, as they like to say. I like to say, if you made it that far, you don’t have to say that you can make all the throws because obviously you can do it. You don’t need – everybody thinks you have to have this big, strong arm, and you don’t.

J U N E 2 3 , 2 0 1 6 • V O I C E -T R I B U N E . C O M

He definitely is talented, one of the young up-and-coming guys that’s going to be around for a long time.

I look forward to watching him even more. I caught a couple of the games and was really impressed with the way he was able to handle. It’s a tough position to come in early and play at in that league. It was great to see him have success.

Have you seen current UofL quarterback Lamar Jackson?

I have not.

What defenders scared you the most?

No one really scared us. We like to think we scared somebody else.

There are only probably two players who we concerned ourselves on where they lined up.

One of them was Reggie White and the other one was Lawrence Taylor. They came from different angles, but they were definitely disturbers on the defensive side.

Was there an opposing quarterback who you never liked to leave time on the clock for?

It never concerned me because I didn’t have to play against them. You’d have to ask our defense, but the one thing I know is that we had some pretty good defenses along the way – and I don’t think they were afraid of anybody.

22

As a former Bengals and current Broncos fan, did you really need to win all those Super Bowls?

I’m sorry, I would have taken another if I could.

I can still remember watching Pete Johnson try to punch it in in the Silverdome in Super Bowl XVI. What stands out about that game to you?

I go back and look at that game, and it was an ugly game on both sides for a while. Just coming out ahead was big not only for me but I think for the organization and the city of San Francisco – to finally get to a Super Bowl and then to go on and win. We beat a pretty good team too in Cincinnati. I think the big play was the stop on fourth down on the one-yard line. VT

Holy Cross Goes from Underdog to Top Dog

H

owever you say it – underdog, longshot, dark horse – the definition remains the same: a competitor who has little chance of winning and constantly faces an uphill battle. But throughout history, there have been notable underdogs who have left skeptics astounded.

High School Sports Report

pete on that level but also that now it is going to become more of a habit.

The foundation was laid over the last few years that we were going to compete on a championship level in the state. So this was another building block in that foundation for our kids.

The program is really doing great things.”

In three years as head coach at Holy Cross, Young says his team has discovered an unparalleled sense of confidence. During his first season, the team beat Mercy for the first time in school history, which instilled within the program the conviction that they could not only compete with the dominant programs in the region but could beat them.

RANDY WHETSTONE JR.

If you placed a $2 bet on the biggest longshot in Derby history, Donerail, you cashed in $184.90 on the horse who won the 1913 Kentucky Derby at 91-1 odds.

In 1985, the eighth-seeded Villanova Wildcats, who never cracked the Top 20 in rankings and lost to Georgetown twice during the regular season, beat the defending national champion Hoyas in the ’85 championship game on April Fools’ – not hard to figure out who the prank was on that year.

Another victor was entered into the Underdog Hall of Fame, so to speak, this season by the Holy Cross softball team in Louisville. After a third consecutive 28-plus win season, the Cougars captured their first regional championship in school history.

“It means a lot to the program,” says Head Coach Anthony Young. “It shows young kids in the area that Holy Cross – who had never competed on that level – that not only could we comP H O T O C O U R T E S Y O F H O LY C R O S S S O F T B A L L

Some difficult times also came along the way, but it was nothing that could break this team’s morale. Throughout their process, they had their ups and downs in big games, all of which culminated with advancing to the sixth region championship last season, where they came up short against Mercy. Coach Young called it a learning process where his group of girls was “learning how to perform on those big stages.”

The beauty of competition is that it can bring out the best within a person at the peak of an unbearable struggle. After taking leaps in the right direction in a short amount of time, Holy Cross started the 2016 season 1-5, and awaiting them was the prowess of regional powerhouses Butler and Fern Creek.

23

“We had a lot of adversity at the beginning of the season. With young girls, young teenage minds are very impressionable, and they listened early on to too many voices who said they weren’t supposed to be good this year because we had success for the last couple of years,” Young adds.

After losing five four-year starters, Holy Cross listened more to the doubters than to themselves.

“Once they started believing in themselves, they gained the ability to be good and turn it around. Early on in the season, they just had to learn how to work and win as this year’s team.

You can’t live in what last year’s team did. So they had to find an identity. We did, and they are a great group of kids.”

And after the team made it to the state tournament for the first time in the program’s history, Young anticipates their success carrying over in years to come.

“My expectation for the future is to anticipate winning the region each year and going to the state tournament as the habit,” he says. “That way, we are competing for that state championship on a year-in and year-out basis. I envision the program over the next few years as one of the top five programs in the state. We are definitely on the path headed in that direction. Three years in a row, we continued to track uphill. We have to maintain that. Once we stop being the hunters, we have to play as the hunted.

But right now, we are the hunters.” VT V O I C E -T R I B U N E . C O M • J U N E 2 3 , 2 0 1 6

Horse Sense JOHN ASHER

Dazzling performances by Gun Runner, the third-place finisher in the Kentucky Derby Presented by Yum! Brands (Grade I), and Songbird, the returning unbeaten filly who was knocked out of the Longines Kentucky Oaks (GI) by a brief illness, provided strong signs that the remaining months of 2016 for this year’s crop of 3-year-olds could be something to savor.

Toss in a sharp workout by Kentucky Derby winner Nyquist – his first serious

24

training drill since the Derby and the first since a fever knocked the reigning 2-yearold champion out of the Belmont Stakes (GI) – and there are plenty of reasons to hope for special things in the months before November’s Breeders’ Cup Championships at Santa Anita.

Let’s start with Gun Runner, whose Derby chance was compromised when he tracked a hotter-than-expected pace. While the stretch run by the victorious Nyquist is the compelling memory of Derby 142, remember that Gun Runner had the lead at the top of the stretch and held on to finish third.

daughter of Medaglia d’Oro remained perfect in eight races when she cruised by 6 1/2 lengths under Hall of Fame jockey Mike Smith. She moved to the lead on the turn for home and completed 1 1/16 miles in 1:42.63 in her first outing since a triumph in the Santa Anita Oaks (GI) on April 9.

Gun Runner cruised to the front under jockey Florent Geroux and whipped five over-matched foes by 5 1/4 lengths as a heavy odds-on favorite.

“It scares me to think of how good she is,” said Hollendorfer, a member of racing’s Hall of Fame. “She was very comfortable, with her ears up, looking for something. The opportunity presented itself to be just a little off the pace, and now we’ve shown everyone we can do that.”

But the most impressive aspect of the Matt Winn triumph was Gun Runner’s final time for 1 1/16 miles. He covered the distance in a stakes record 1:41.12 and missed the track record for the distance by just eight one hundredths of a second.

The performance by the Steve Asmussen-trained Gun Runner, which came just seven days after the trainer’s win with Creator in the Belmont Stakes (GI), had his trainer looking forward to the next step in the colt’s 3-year-old season. The current plan calls for Gun Runner to compete in the Grade I Haskell Invitational at New Jersey’s Monmouth Park on July 31.

“His confidence should be exactly where we’re hoping for going into an extremely competitive Haskell,” Asmussen said. “I do think that he is of the highest quality, and this is only his seventh lifetime race. He is faster now than he has ever been, and that’s a great thing.”

Her most ardent fans are anxious for Songbird to take on the boys in her division, but they will have to wait a bit longer. Fox Hill owner Rick Porter announced Monday that his star filly would ship to New York’s Saratoga to again face 3-year-old fillies in the $300,000 Coaching Club American Oaks (GI) at 1 1/8 miles on July 24. It will be Songbird’s first run outside of her California base since last fall’s romp in the Breeders’ Cup Juvenile Fillies (GI) at Keeneland.

To this point, it has mattered little as to where and against whom Songbird runs.

She has swept her eight races by a combined 42 1/2 lengths.

While Gun Runner and Songbird produced coast-to-coast smiles on the first weekend following the Triple Crown, admirers of the Kentucky Derby winner Nyquist also beamed.

The reason was not a race, but rather a workout by the star of the first crop of hot sire Uncle Mo. Nyquist breezed a half-mile in :48.60 at Santa Anita on Friday, June 17.

It was his first serious training move since both the colt’s unbeaten record and Triple Crown hopes were dashed in his third-place run behind West Coast rival Exaggerator in the Preakness (GI).

The management team at Monmouth Park is hoping Nyquist will be in the starting gate for a rematch with Gun Runner in the Haskell. At Churchill Downs Saturday night to accept the engraved Kentucky Derby Winner’s Trophies for Team Nyquist during the Downs After Dark festivities, Trainer Doug O’Neill said there’s a chance the Derby winner would head east for his return to competition.

The Haskell, Saratoga’s Jim Dandy (GII) and the San Diego Handicap (GII) against older horses at Del Mar are races being considered by O’Neill and Team Nyquist.

In horse racing, perhaps more than any other sport, launching a plan and making it work are two very different and difficult things. But should those plans go well for this group and other 3-year-olds like Belmont runner-up Destin and Mohaymen fourth in the Derby, in the coming months, the second half of 2016 and the road to the Breeders’ Cup could be special. VT

Gun Runner’s win was his fifth in those seven races, with his only setbacks coming at Churchill Downs in the Derby and last fall’s Kentucky Jockey Club (GII), which was run over a sloppy track.

Many racing fans strongly believed that Songbird was better than Nyquist or any of the 3-year-old males who ran in the Kentucky Derby and Triple Crown, but she was in her Southern California stall on Kentucky Oaks Day when Cathryn Sophia won the race in her absence.

Fox Hill Farm’s reigning champion 2-year-old filly had never faced a serious challenge prior to her trip to the sidelines, and her string of domination continued when she returned to action on Saturday at Santa Anita in an easy romp in the Grade II Summertime Oaks against 3-yearold fillies.

Heuser Hearing Institute CEO Brett Bachmann supervising a hearing screening for Karen Rabalais.

NEW HEARING TESTING The June meeting of the Woman’s Club of Louisville Health Committee was held at the home of Peggy Duane. She invited Brett Bachmann, CEO of the Heuser Hearing Institute, to come and demonstrate the very latest hearing screening technology just recently granted to the Institute. It consists of an iPad loaded with special software and a pair of special earphones. Totally portable, the new technology is able to provide a more accurate determination if an individual has a hearing loss and needs to follow up with complete diagnostic testing at the Institute.

Because of its portability, the ladies were able to have their hearing tested in Peggy’s living room and have lunch on the terrace. Almost all of them participated and subsequently, commented on how easy it was to participate and felt the equipment could and should be brought to other gatherings.

Interested groups should contact Bachmann at the Heuser Hearing Institute at 502.584.3573. VT PHOTOS COURTESY OF CARLA SUE BROECKER

EAR ABBY: I have fought obesity all of my adult life, and my weight has yo-yoed over the years. My problem is that when I go to the doctor’s office and I am taken to the exam area, the scale is right out in the open where other patients come and go as well as all the office personnel.

Do you have any advice for me when this happens again? I say again because it happens at other doctor’s offices I visit as well. I am at a loss here. I would appreciate your input.

– STILL STINGING IN NEVADA

She has been sexually harassed by a very large and aggressive lesbian in her dorm this year.

When the girl first came on to her, my daughter told her NO. Later, on two separate occasions, the girl pushed her to the floor and groped her in the lobby of the dorm.

DEAR STILL STINGING: The first time it happened, you should have quietly mentioned to the medJEANNE ical assistant that she embarrassed PHILLIPS you, and asked her please not to do it again. When it happened a second time, you should have spoken to the doctor about it. You Mind you, I don’t care if I am weighed in the are far from the only person who is sensitive about presence of people walking around – if they don’t weight. If I were that physician, I’d certainly want peek. However, when the medical assistant is to know why patients were disappearing from my done weighing me, she reads the scale out loud. I practice. Wouldn’t you?

••• have felt humiliated when other patients are walking past. I have put up with this for years.

DEAR ABBY: I do a lot of home canning, and

My daughter was afraid to fight the girl because she’s small. She was also afraid to report it – I guess she thought it was an isolated incident.

Dear Abby

Recently, this medical assistant weighed me and I just knew she was going to “announce” my weight. This time, there was a man I could tell was a patient, standing nearby at the reception window staring intently at me getting weighed.

Because I was sure the M.A. was going to say it out loud, I started to cough to try to muffle the sound of her voice. It worked, but then she acted irritated because of my coughing, so she repeated it loudly. I was very embarrassed, to say the least.

When the doctor saw me, I was afraid to say anything as I didn’t want to get anybody in trouble.

I graduated from a medical assistant school many years ago, and I remember the registered nurse who was our instructor taught us to never say out loud somebody’s weight when you weigh him or her. It only makes common sense. I no longer want to go back to that doctor’s office.

last year, our farm was very profitable. I canned more than 300 jars of jellies, juices, applesauce and soups. I gave many of these away as gifts.

My dilemma is that most of the time, no one gives me the jars back. Canning jars are the most expensive part of canning. Would you please help me get the word out to return the jars when they are empty? – DEBBIE IN DERBY, N.Y. DEAR DEBBIE: I’m glad to put out the word.

But don’t you think it would be more effective if you simply asked that the jars be returned if the recipients want to continue receiving these generous gifts from you? Attaching a “Please return to (blank)” label might help.

••• DEAR ABBY: Our daughter came home for spring break from college with troubling news.

Is this kind of harassment common in our schools? Should she take it to the campus police or city police? Our daughter really likes her college, but she shouldn’t have to put up with this. – TROUBLING NEWS DEAR TROUBLING NEWS: I agree that your daughter – and the other girls – should not have to put up with being assaulted. I wish you had revealed a little bit more about what happened when the assaults were reported. Was the aggressor counseled? Warned to stay away from the girls she had harassed? Removed from the dorm?

If nothing was done, before informing the police, I’m advising you to discuss this with a lawyer because a school that would ignore what happened may be liable.

SPOTLIGHT

A Taste of Independents

On July 10, The Olmsted will be the site of A Taste of Independents presented by APRON Inc., a nonprofit that strives to financially aid employees of local independent restaurants. To learn more about the organization’s exciting summer fundraiser, we caught up with Gary Fox, president of APRON Inc. What is A Taste of Independents?

A Taste of Independents is both a celebration of the depth and diversity of Louisville’s independent restaurants and an annual fundraiser for APRON Inc., a nonprofit that provides emergency financial funds to employees of the independent restaurant community.

What can guests expect at the event?

Our guests will spend a delightful Sunday afternoon at The Olmsted with tastings from over 30 of Louisville’s independent restaurants and libations from local liquor and wine distributors. There will also be a silent auction, a highlight of which will be an original signed photograph of Muhammad Ali in his prime by Pulitzer Prize-winning photographer Dan Dry. The Robbie Bartlett Duo will also be providing their special brand of jazz stylings.

Additionally, this will be the fourth year that we will be giving The Corbett Award for service to the independent restaurant community. Previous winners include Dean Corbett himself, the Maker’s Mark marketing team and Stacy Roof and The Kentucky Restaurant Association.

Why is the event important for APRON? This is one of our most important events for a number of reasons.

First, it raises much needed funds to help us carry out our mission. We are a young, small nonprofit – we’ve only been around for four and a half years – with no paid staff. Almost all money we

raise goes to helping needy members of our community. In January of this year after the devastating fire at SuperChefs and Maria’s Greek Deli, we were able to help 25 employees with rent and utilities – we could never have done this without the community’s help.

Now, every year at A Taste of Independents, we see her and the newest picture of her handsome young son.

Secondly, A Taste of Independents helps us raise awareness of our charity to the general public and gives the public a wonderful overview of how special our food scene really is. Not to mention that it is a real bargain – $40 in advance or $45 at the door.

This is our fifth summer event but only the second Taste of Independents. We had a speakeasy the first year and two disco events. These were great fun, but we came to realize we didn’t need all the extras – what we are is truly a taste of independent restaurants, no embellishments needed.

Finally, as we get the word out to the public at large, we also get the word out to the people we serve. We are such a small group that it has been challenging at times to get the word out about our mission to independent restaurant workers. This event helps get us more and more recognition in the community every year.

We have been fortunate to add more restaurants and vendors over the years, and the attendance has also grown apace. This year for the first time, we are using both sides of the beautiful Olmsted so people will have more room to enjoy themselves.

It also puts the wonderful jazz singer Robbie Bartlett right in the center of things where she belongs.

What difference have you seen this event make in the lives of its beneficiaries?

This year, we are also partnering with Alpha Media and their five radio stations, which will hopefully help get even more people involved.

There are times when we actually help keep families from being evicted – when the parent has had an emergency and not been able to work for a while and has used up any savings they had. We are able to bring a little piece of mind and a bit more time to heal.

One of our favorite stories involves one of the first grants we gave out. A young woman was expecting and at the end, had a bit of a difficult pregnancy. We were able to pay rent and utilities for a month or two until she got back on her feet.

How has the event grown over the years?

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

There is still a lot room for growth – 40 restaurants is a lot, but there are so many more. We would love to see a lot more ethnic restaurants represented – how great would it be to enjoy a taste of a delicious Vietnamese pho or Thai mi krop or Korean barbecue wings or a sip of Nicaraguan pinolillo?

Since we are a locally based nonprofit, it seems fitting that at some point we might showcase some of our local food vendors, perhaps farmers or confectioners, or any of our small local food manufacturers.

Mostly, we hope that this becomes one of Louisville’s special events – an event where people who serve and cook and host can mingle and enjoy a Sunday afternoon with the folks who enjoy their hospitality every day. A Taste of Independents will keep evolving in flavors due to taste trends and people’s palates!

Is it too late to participate?

No, not at all! If you are a chef, restaurant owner or vendor, or if you would like to donate a silent auction item or experience, please send an email to garyf@aproninc.org. To buy tickets, go to aproninc.org/events. A Taste of Independents is open to the public and is a 21+ event. VT

All of their therapists and estheticians are licensed and certified per state requirements, and their clinics are open seven days a week.

“We’re for the everyday person, people who are on the go who realize that they need a massage but don’t have time to spend several hours at the spa,” Cotner says. “Most spas aren’t open seven days a week, but we are, which allows us to accommodate people who work a lot and need the stress relief that massage gives you.”

The benefits of massage go well beyond stress relief and relaxation. Getting a massage can help with most any ailment, from pain and inflammation to headaches and high blood pressure. People who have frequent massages see increased flexibility and improved circulation and posture, and massages can even aid in the treatment of anxiety and depression.

“It’s really preventative medicine,” relates Lindsey Kaelin, a customer service representative and soon-to-be licensed massage therapist.

“It’s more than just taking medicine and eliminating the symptoms. People who come in regularly are managing their pain and seeing longterm results.”

Massage Envy has partnered with the Arthritis Foundation to encourage patients to try massage therapy, and the results have proven to be very effective.

“For some of these people in terrible pain, we can change their lives,” asserts Goldenberg-Minstein. “We give them pain-free days, and no matter how much pain they are in, they always leave feeling better. It’s such a rewarding experience to be able to help people with that kind of relief.”

The clinics also offer a unique prenatal massage, a perfect gift for women who need relief from the stresses of pregnancy.

“The prenatal massage feels amazing,” says Evelyn Martinez, representative and expectant mother. “It helps with sleep and relieves sciatic nerve issues you have where the baby is pushing on certain parts of your body.”

Whether you’re someone with an array of aches and pains or someone who just needs help to relax and unwind, a massage can soothe both your body and mind, having you feeling better than ever in no time. VT

Martin. “They use lump charcoal, and you need to learn how to adjust the airflow to maintain the constant temperature.” Overall, the Kamado Joe offers a much more handson approach to grilling that requires a more watchful eye and fastidious touch, but the benefits are bountiful.

The Kamado Joe boasts an energy-efficient design, so the time spent on getting a grill-

It can cook at a higher temperature than most other charcoal grills, and once some control is gained, the consistency of that temperature is unparalleled. “You can adjust the racks depending on what you are cooking, and you can also use chucks of wood in addition to the lump charcoal to get that smoky flavor,” informs Martin.

Constructed in the early 1930s, Louisville Mega Cavern was formed by more than 40 years of blasting at the site of a limestone quarry. Over the years, that blasting has attributed to the cavern’s enormous 100-acre size that extends underneath all 10 lanes of what is now the Watterson Expressway. By 1989, private investors saw the cavern’s potential to serve as a large natural storage facility and bought the cavern for that purpose. Portions of the cavern still serve that function.

Since then, however, the site has become a serious tourist attraction that boasts a host of fun underground activities such as an intricate ropes challenge course, a bike park, a tram tour, a zipline course and space for private events. Around the holidays, there’s also a beloved Christmas lights show.

When I arrived at Mega Cavern, I didn’t know what to expect. I only had time to participate in one of the activities, and I was pretty open to anything.

For those who have not been on a zip line before, the idea is that you wear a secure harness – complete with several ropes, clips and carabiners – and “zip” along taut steel wire across great distances

In order to participate on Mega Zips, you must be at least 7 years old and weigh between 55 and 285 pounds. Pregnant women are not allowed on the course, and all participants must sign a waiver. After signing my waiver and being weighed, I met with my group and one of my guides, J.T. Young and knowledgeable J.T. led us to a station where our other guide, Johnmark, was waiting for us. Together, they talked us through putting on our gear and made insightful conversation along the way, something at which both of them excelled. In fact, even as my gear was finally secure and I was on my way to the first leg of the course, I was entirely at ease, which I’ll have you know is very unlike me. As we walked into the cave and the surface became more and more of a distant memory, I never once felt unsafe.

using an apparatus with a handle called a trolley.

On Mega Zips, the guides set up all your equipment for you, so you are not responsible for clipping yourself to anything or setting up your trolley at any point during the tour.

The course consists of six zip lines and two challenge bridges. The zip lines vary in distance and inclines, with each one having something unique to offer. The first course is the “Bunny Course,” which gently introduces those going on the tour to some of the finer points of the activity such as how to carry yourself and how to tuck your legs.

I found myself relaxing more and more with

each course and wanting to jump the gun a little when we got to the course’s longest zip line, which is the same length as the Titanic. It’s also worth mentioning how fast you can get on these things. Of course, it depends on your weight and the incline of the line, but I was told that in Mega Zips, you can reach a speed of just over 40 mph.

The challenge bridges are fun detours that test your balance and coordination and offer some variety in between lines. Whoever designed them decided to have the “Indiana Jones” theme music pipe in while you walk across them, which made my nerdy heart smile. Sadly, the second bridge leads to the final leg of the course. While I was

sorry to see the end, the last line was built for competitive racing between people in the tour group, so the best was indeed saved for last. I ended up narrowly losing to our guide Johnmark, a saddening defeat but an absolutely thrilling end to an already marvelous expedition.

My Mega Zips group consisted of children, their parents and a few lone-wolf adults, and we all had a blast. If you’re looking for a totally safe but nonetheless stimulating adventure, I heartily recommend testing your mettle at Mega Zips at Louisville Mega Cavern.

Mediocre crowd-pleasers are the enemy of so many critics because they aim to please people who don’t freely see movies as often as critics are required to. Critics want to speak for the people but can’t honestly recommend a film when its cheap tactics fail to rise above the run-of-the-mill fare of which they’ve seen too much.

Calvin is mysteriously friended on Facebook

by Robbie who has changed his name to Bob Stone and insists that the two meet up. Desperate to avoid marriage counseling, Calvin obliges, and when the two meet at a suburban sports bar, he is surprised to see the intimidating presence of a lean muscular giant, even if Bob has all the same feminine tastes and awkward optimism he did in high school.

Calvin seems a little uncomfortable around Bob but soon warms up when it’s revealed how much he is idolized by the guy who left high school in embarrassment and went on to be an empowered person who proves his value in a fight later that evening when the two are threatened by thugs.

Things aren’t what they seem, however, when Bob asks Calvin for a favor that results in agents from the C.I.A. – led

by Amy Ryan – knocking on Calvin’s door the next day who reveal that Bob is a rogue agent wanted for treason. From there on, Calvin is trying to maintain the normalcy of his life while the agents and Bob separately shake things up.

As a part-time critic, I often avoid movies starring two popular entertainers who, when featured on the poster, are against a plain background with a title in some easy-toread typeface and are possibly holding firearms. It presents the promise of basic-level action and comedy like the picture of a burger and fries on a McDonald’s drive-thru menu.

That’s not a bad setup for an action-comedy. It’s predictable yet functional. The movie establishes itself well but isn’t made of parts that fit together naturally because it constantly blends offbeat humor with awkward humor, a common incompatibility that continues to go overlooked.

It was when I saw that this movie shared creative minds with those behind “Dodgeball: A True Underdog Story,” “We’re the Millers” and “The Mindy Project” that I chose to give it a shot. I regard none of these as great works, but they all rose above their expected banality.

The movie begins in a flashback where a pep-rally at one Central High School is taking place. An overweight teenager named Robbie Weirdicht (Dwayne Johnson – or at least his face during this part) is J U N E 2 3 , 2 0 1 6 • V O I C E -T R I B U N E . C O M

Some of them have even been included in the permaist as well.

“Whenever I work with a subject or collaborate with another artist, I ask, ‘Do you want to play?’” says Friedman. “They might require some more details. Adults don’t really remember what play is, but they always want to.”

When looking at Friedman’s work, it is easy to see that playfulness on display. There is a youthful disregard for artistic propriety. Ice cream doesn’t belong in a French horn – it will ruin the instrument. A ballerina cannot balance on an egg – she’ll smash it. The images are ultimately successful, however, because they operate in a way that relies on that childlike willingness to accept fantasy as reality that is still alive in each of us.

“When a young person looks at my work, they think, ‘This is easy. Picture of a horn. Picture of

nent collections of the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C. and New York’s Museum of Modern Art, so it is abundantly clear that his playfulness speaks to many.

With a career now reaching its 50th year, maintaining that playfulness and freshness is as important to Friedman as ever. “We’re at our creative peaks when we’re about 5 years old,” says Friedman. “So lately, I try to live my life like I’m 5 years old.” What Friedman means is that when working, he tries to act on creative impulses and follow them through rather than ruminate on a concept for months before acting.

“One year for Christmas, my wife gave me a project as a gift. It was to take a picture every day,” he recalls. “Merry Christmas, right?”

Despite his initial misgivings, Friedman admits that he eventually became excited by the project, and he found that not only were his creative batteries recharging but his emotions were being safely channeled in unexpected ways. “I showed the pictures to a friend, and they said, ‘You seem really angry this week.’” It turns out that that week was the week of the election of a certain president of the United States who was not Friedman’s pick. “If I was angry then, and the way the world is right now, I can’t imagine what my pictures would look like now,” he adds.

Due to this artistic palate cleanser, when Friedman got the call from the Frazier History Museum to put up a 50-year retrospective exhibit, it couldn’t have come at a better time. “I initially started with just posters because that’s what I thought people would want to see.” Fortunately, Friedman changed his mind. While a multitude of posters from his earlier days will be on display, the Frazier exhibit will also feature some of Friedman’s newer work across different media such as a walkable installation of 3D art revolving around the theme of water, and a display of his three-year project called “The Book,” which

includes ornately fashioned sculptures created from older books. He’s even working on a cinematic piece that will be added to the exhibit in July.

“My goal is to create something and have someone really see it. So often nowadays, people go out, get something to eat, go to an art show and get on their phone the entire time. When asked, they can’t bring to mind a single piece,” asserts Friedman. It is Friedman’s hope that when someone attends one of his shows, they are present and, more importantly, they remember to play. VT “Julius Friedman: Fifty Year Retrospective” opens June 24 and runs through October 9 at the Frazier History Museum at 829 W.

M O N DAY, J U N E 2 7 THE STORY OF THE HILLTOPPERS In the 1950s, a quartet called The Hilltoppers went from college students recording an origi-

nal song in Western Kentucky University’s Van Meter auditorium to performing on musical stages around the world – and leaving their mark on American music. On June 27 at 4:30 p.m. at Hunting Creek Country Club, the WKU Greater Louisville Area Alumni Chapter will host a free event, open to the public, featuring Don McGuire, the only surviving member of the quartet.

McGuire, a master storyteller, will share a firsthand account of his years with the group.

Balancing college coursework and a music career meant that McGuire and the Hilltoppers attended classes during the week and made guest appearances throughout the United States on weekends.

Admission is free.

We at Blue Equity Publishing, like the rest of the nation, are simply at a loss for words regarding the devastating tragedy that took place in Orlando on June 12. Certainly, we are proud to publish Modern Louisville, giving voice and representation to the LGBTQ community of Louisville, and we extend our most heartfelt sympathies to those affected by the events at Pulse nightclub. Though we cannot begin to understand the pain that is being felt by so many, we ardently encourage all to continue raising their voice and never waver in being proud of who they are.

PUZZLES

pets of the week Sweet Buster is a 10-year-old miniature poodle who came to the Kentucky Humane Society from a shelter in New Orleans! This lovable boy may be older, but he still loves to go on walks and roll around in his bed before curling up to take a nap. He also loves to lay in your lap while you watch the television or read a book. Buster is already neutered, micro-chipped and up-to-date on vaccinations. Come visit him today at our adoption center in the Pewee Valley Feeders Supply, 12406 La Grange Road.

Kingsley is an 8-year-old domestic long hair mix with beautiful tabby markings and bright green eyes. He came to the Kentucky Humane Society when his former owner was moving and unable to bring him with her. Kingsley is a mellow guy who’d rather have lunch and a nap than major playtime. He’s friendly and loves to get some pets. Kingsley has lived with other cats and would likely do well in a multi-cat household, though a kitten’s energy may lead him to find a high perch to watch the little one. If you’re looking for an affectionate laid-back cat to entertain you for the rest of your days, look no further! Kingsley is neutered, micro-chipped and up-to-date on all vaccinations. You can meet him at our Main Campus, 241 Steedly Drive in Louisville.

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