As we anxiously await the fabulous Raise The Barre event, which helps raise money for the Louisville Ballet dancers’ salaries, we figured we’d take you on a journey through a dancer’s life and help illustrate why this event is so important to them. Dancing for most children starts as something to do and express themselves and often ends after high school. But for these dancers, dancing is their career and their passion. They live and breathe the ballet, performing, practicing and mastering the art of dance. Take a look into the lives of two dancers in the Louisville Ballet company in this week’s feature story.

Meanwhile, with fall quickly approaching, we spoke with Sandi West, owner of Sandi’s Styles Fashion Boutique, in this week’s business profile. Sandi owns a mobile boutique, so if you ladies are on-the-go as much as I am, she can travel right to you! Sandi’s mobile boutique is reasonably priced and up to date on all the fall trends.

In addition to our wardrobes, we are also preparing our homes and gardens for fall. Luckily we have a special section just for that. As leaves and weather are changing, so will your home and garden! You will find a guide to easy gardening, a story on a purple martin bird enthusiast and a discussion on transitions to fall accents in your home.

Elsewhere, in sports, Kent Taylor talks to Bobby Petrino about UofL’s upcoming season, and Mike Rutherford explores the upcoming expansion of Papa John’s Cardinal Stadium. We also look at Mark Stoops’ upcoming season at UK and sit down with five St. X golfers who are bringing a different meaning to “The Fab Five.”

Around town, we went to Liv Boutique Grand Opening, a celebration of a new local boutique in town owned by Lucie Stansbury. There is nothing better than fresh, contemporary fashion and home products.

Don’t forget to support your local businesses.

Boots, Badges & Bids was a party for the books. You know it’s going to be a good time when there’s a mechanical bull. Host Fran and Matt Thorton really know how to throw a party. Burning Las Vegas brought down the house as party goers kicked it up in their boots.

Courtney McLarty’s baby shower was a delightful occasion with great friends, tons of laughs and a wonderful celebration of the mom-to-be.

I wish Courtney the best of luck as she embarks on this next chapter in her life.

The next event that is a must-attend is Modern Louisville’s Launch Party, taking place Thursday, September 3 from 7 to 10 p.m. at Play Dance Bar! And I’ll let you in on the feature story… the secret is finally out. Bobby Petrino Jr. is the first cover story for Modern Louisville, and we are absolutely thrilled to share this young man’s story with the city. Please come celebrate the LGBTQ community with me this Thursday and join me for a special purple cocktail. See you all there.

Cheers.

The Price of Passion Wr i t t e n B y I G O R G U R YA S H K I N

allet is an art form you choose to pursue because of love and passion alone. Ballet is a bargain you make with your body and mind, with little pay, endless aches and pains, and a small window of time within which you can pursue your dreams of artistic freedom and creativity. And when that window closes, that chance is gone, proving how fleeting youth and opportunity are.

The dancers at Louisville Ballet all share that same level of passion: forgoing countless hours that could be spent with family and friends while risking constant injury for the chance to dance on that stage.

Raise the Barre is Louisville Ballet’s

annual fundraiser that helps supplement the income of company dancers and allow them to spend more time pursuing their love without financial stress hanging over them. The event is scheduled to be held at the Louisville Ballet’s own studio on September 12.

In order to get an idea of the hours of sacrifice required, we caught up with two of the Ballet’s dancers: Kateryna Sellers and Benjamin Wetzel, who each have a different perspective on their craft.

f you sit across from Kateryna Sellers, you might think she was a track athlete. On a break from rehearsal – which involves at least two grueling hours spent on her toes – Sellers sits down in a chair. She’s still on her toes – legs bouncing, muscles twitching and full of energy.

No, she didn’t realize she’s still on her toes.

Sellers is a veteran of the Louisville Ballet, now entering her 11th season with the company this fall. She is getting ready for “Coppélia,” a classic ballet that’s being re-imagined by Robert Curran to be set in the city she has called home for over a decade – Louisville. And because she has spent so many years here working on her craft, she knows better than most dancers what particularly grueling calibration her day must be in for her to be at the peak of her powers.

A typical day starts at 5:45 a.m., which quickly segues into a trip to the gym, with crossfit and cardio being the name of the game. An average day might be filled with rehearsals, but the morning is about making sure that the body is as precisely tuned as a race-car.

“The mornings are geared towards fine-tuning muscles that are used more specifically in ballet,” explains Sellers, who likens her drive to tone to that of a bodybuilder who picks out small imperfections to work on. “So instead of doing an entire quadricep, we target a certain muscle. Or instead of the whole glute, it will just be the rotator.”

Ballet dancers are elite athletes – every single one of them. In fact, in the same way that a professional football player may need to learn a playbook, be coached, train, improve mentally and physically and then go out and perform, the life of a ballerina is tremendously complex and layered, but each performance must seem effortless. For this reason, Sellers spends every minute of the day thinking about ballet – her lifelong love – and how she can go on and improve every single day.

“I really like the challenge of this job,” adds Sellers. “I wake up and I’m tired. But once I get going and I’m at the gym, I start thinking about what I need to work on. It’s a time to think and get ready for the day. Depending on the show, if you’re learning multiple parts, it’s also very mentally taxing. There is a lot of information, and on top of that, you’re getting notes on how to get better and you have to process those and figure out how to put that into your body and make that happen. And then in a character-driven ballet, there is a lot of thought that goes into developing your character as well.”

Like all art forms, the fuel to keep going is passion – and having spent so many years with the company, Sellers knows that the dancers around her who share the same love of dance have become family. Born and raised in Toronto, Canada, Sellers credits her Louisville Ballet family as being diverse and their environment as a place where one can constantly learn from colleagues.

“People here are from everywhere, so it’s pretty neat that we create a family and a culture here. As a dancer, when you train, there are different syllabuses that you would train in. So it’s interesting how other dancers have been taught differently. You learn something from everybody, depending on where they’ve been and danced.”

It’s those same colleagues who will often end their day of dance at 6 p.m. only to then go and work elsewhere to earn extra money. Raise the Barre was in fact designed to benefit these very dancers so that they may continue their passion while making ends meet.

“Some people have jobs right after rehearsal, and I am always in awe of them. We have one dancer who is a pilates teacher. A lot of people wait tables or are hostesses.”

But in the end, no matter how grueling her schedule is, Sellers knows she would not trade her job for the world. Like professional athletes, dancers have a finite number of years within which they can express themselves to the best of their physical capabilities. And it’s this finite nature, as well as the daily physical and mental grind, that motivates Sellers to keep going.

Every day is different, and that’s where the passion lies.

“Everyone who does this job really loves it,” she concludes. “I love my job. I get to do something that I am passionate about and where I am challenged every day. But you don’t do this job unless you really love it because otherwise, it’s just not worth it.”

or Benjamin Wetzel, a transplant from San Francisco and a third year dancer at Louisville Ballet, the day often opens up on a lackluster but necessary note. After rising at 7 a.m. and consuming his oatmeal, Wetzel slowly makes his way to the shower. This is his pain management.

“Most of the time, my feet hurt in the mornings,” explains Wetzel. “So in the mornings, I go into the shower and just run my feet under hot water to relax them and warm them up so they are not as creaky.”

For Wetzel, and every other dancer, daily life is a physical and mental task. Long hours are spent tirelessly honing their craft. But those hours spent that culminate in physical pain are actually the best of his and his colleagues’ lives. It’s hours spent perfecting the object of their love and focal point of their passion. In the same way a concert-level pianist still has to practice his scales, so Wetzel has to keep honing his own technique.

“What I love about this career is the consistency of it,” he explains. “Every day you go into the studio and you work on your technique. In theatre, at least, you had maybe one performance every two weeks. In ballet, no matter what role you are doing, no matter what company you are in, the core of classical ballet technique is the same.”

A relative late-comer to ballet, Wetzel has spent the past few years absorbing as much ballet as possible, perhaps even relishing it more given his late start.

“I had an unconventional path to ballet because I started out much later than most people,” explains Wetzel. “I started when I was 16. Before that, I was doing musical theatre and thought that that’s where I wanted my career to go for the rest of my life. I thought I needed to take dance glasses to be competitive with other people, and in college at Point Park University in Pittsburgh, I took more dance classes. That’s where I found great teachers and found ballet and fell more and more in love with it – and fell out of love with musical theatre.”

Like a lot of dancers, Wetzel needs to supplement his income with outside work, and it’s something that Raise the Barre, Louisville Ballet’s annual fundraiser seeks to help. But for Wetzel, who teaches ballet after his own studies are complete each day, still finds room to improve and grow. Even if it means his work days usually extend late into the night.

“Sometimes when you’re teaching, you notice little things,” he explains. “You think to yourself, ‘Maybe I should be thinking about this, or be doing that.’ I really believe, for example, that even if you’re injured and you may have to sit out for a month, you watch other dancers and you learn so much.”

Teaching ballet in Louisville has also brought him closer to his adopted city.

“What I really love about Louisville is that it feels like a small town. It’s a city for sure, but I find people here appreciate art so much more than other cities I have traveled to. I feel so fortunate that the dancers here also care so much for one another, and it really does feel like a tight-knit family.”

In the end, like everyone else around him, Wetzel is more than happy to keep going each day. He gets to do what he loves every single day, something that not everyone can lay claim to. But ironically, it’s the short and finite nature of the life of a dancer that adds extra motivation.

“I think I just love it so much,” explains Wetzel. “I think it’s really important and I don’t know any different. Even though there is pain and sacrifices and my salary is not great, I can’t imagine doing anything else.”

He pauses and then corrects himself.

“Actually, I can imagine doing something else,” he adds. “I imagine when I finish dancing of going back to school, but I figure I only have one opportunity to dance and that’s now. The idea that it’s now or never might seem dramatic, but it does mean it’s precious and pressing.

I don’t want to have any regrets. There are so many other careers I can pursue later on, but if I did not dance, I would forever regret not going for it.”

For Wetzel and other dancers at Louisville Ballet, Raise the Barre means the view through that narrow window of time is that much brighter.

Glue, knife and dental floss

Aside from the grueling task of having to master complex routines both mentally and physically on a daily basis, essentially, ballet boils down to spending a lot of time on your feet. And on those feet are the art’s famous shoes. In fact, in the way a professional boxer has spent years developing his own way of wrapping his hands, just so, every dancer will spend a lot of time customizing the shoes to fit his or her tools of the trade – the feet.

That means dancers are often spending a lot of time slicing, sewing, gluing and more.

“When I get my brand new pair I take them out of the pack and then get an exacto knife and start shaving down the front,” explains Sellers. “I’ll then sew on my ribbons. We do all the stitching ourselves because everyone likes to tie their shoes differently. In fact, we spend a lot of our time sewing by hand. It takes me 20 minutes to sew a pair of shoes.

And one must-have accessory, according to Sellers, is dental floss. “This may sound funny, but a lot of people use dental floss instead of thread. It’s stronger.”

But even the best stitching won’t hold up to the intensity of dance. Shoes fall like flies in the daily grind of ballet.

“I’d say I would go through 40 of these a year, and that’s not a lot,” adds Sellers. “Some people would even sometimes go through a pair a day. They’re handmade, using layers of satin, and glue. One pair, I may be able to wear for three or four days in a row. But another pair I may wear for one day and they might just fall apart.” VT

Shop the Truck

ou don’t have to shop on Madison Avenue to be stylish. Sandi West brings fashion right to your door.

Her business, Sandi’s Styles, is a mobile boutique. West literally packs a big pink truck with dresses, tops, jeans, handbags, jewelry, accessories and shoes and then travels to where the shoppers are.

though. She notes: “Her dresses are $200 a dress, so you could buy five or six dresses from my truck for the price of one of her dresses.”

Business Profile

West gets a lot of her inventory from Atlanta, but she also orders clothes online. “I hand-select everything, and I have tons of suppliers from all over the U.S.,” she explains.

LYNN HAMILTON

That might be a festival. Or it might be a private party. When The Voice-Tribune caught up with West, she had just recently driven her boutique to a Texas Roadhouse corporate party. In the near future, her truck will make its way to the Gray Street Farmer’s Market in Louisville and the Anderson County Burgoo Festival.

She typically sells out at every event she attends, so she has to stay ahead of the curve to keep up an inventory. “I have to constantly reorder every week. I keep my truck fully stocked at all times,” she says.

West isn’t alone in the venture or on the country roads where she travels. Her mother, Jessie Covington, goes with her and helps her with the business.

“She doesn’t want me to do it by myself, so

she tags along. She loves it,” says West.

West has made it easy for her fans to find her. Her website, sandisstyles.com, tells visitors where to find her and how to book the truck.

You can see what’s currently for sale at the Sandi’s Styles Facebook page.

West also fills a lot of online and mail orders.

She’d like to do more with that side of the business.

“It actually is my goal to increase it. I’m looking into search engine optimizing and Google analytics. I want to amp up the online orders and website. My eventual goal is to have a warehouse,” she says.

Southern style in the convenience of your own home or that of a friend – does it get any better? VT For more information call 502.593.5310 or visit www.sandisstyles.com/

Is your friend getting married and you don’t have a thing to wear? No problem. Sandi can dress you from head to toe for that occasion – or any other. She particularly gets a lot of customers who are going to baby showers and bridal showers.

At Sandi’s Styles, you get free advice with your bargains. West makes sure that you know what shoes and jewelry go with what dress, as a lot of people can be baffled by accessories. “We help them out with that. We try to put everything together,” says West.

West lives on five acres in Henry County.

It’s a far cry from Rodeo Drive, but she didn’t see why people living in the country should go without great clothes. That’s how she came up with the idea for a mobile boutique that would circulate around Henry, Oldham and Shelby Counties, dipping into Franklin and Carroll from time to time. The traveling boutique goes as far as Lexington.

Her merchandise is not only accessible – it’s affordable, too. No item in her boutique costs more than $50.

West’s inspiration is Lilly Pulitzer, a designer known for her southern style, neon prints and bright pinks, greens, yellows and blues.

“It’s a beachy-like vibe,” West explains. “I want my boutique to be more like the south – the real southern pinks, greens and yellows.

I carry a lot of cheerful colors and patterns.”

So, when she goes to the AmericasMart in Atlanta twice a year to stock up her store, she looks for affordable pieces in a vein similar to Pulitzer. West’s clothes are a lot less expensive, S E P T E M B E R 3 , 2 0 1 5 • W W W . V O I C E -T R I B U N E . C O M

business briefs BROADWAY IN LOUISVILLE BREAKS SEASON SUBSCRIPTION RECORD PNC Broadway in Louisville announced that it has broken its season subscription record for the 2015-2016 season with over 11,600 season ticketholders. The series’ previous benchmark of 11,089 season ticketholders was achieved in 1993. PNC Broadway in Louisville, or commonly known by its former name PNC Bank Broadway Series, has been bringing quality touring Broadway productions to Louisville for over 30 years, with its non-profit partner organization, Louisville Theatrical Association. The upcoming 2015-2016 season includes the return of one of Louisville’s favorites in a spectacular new production – “The Phantom of the Opera”! The five-show package also includes the Tony Award-Winning “Rodgers + Hammerstein’s Cinderella,” “Dirty Dancing,” Roundabout Theatre Company’s “Cabaret” and “Motown the Musical.” Season extras not included in subscriptions are “Wicked” and Disney’s “Beauty and the Beast.”

EARLY VERSION OF “HAPPY BIRTHDAY” SONG DISCOVERED AT UOFL The only known manuscript of Louisville native Mildred Hill’s song “Good Morning to All,” which evolved into the world-famous “Happy Birthday” song, was recently uncovered in the Dwight Anderson Memorial Music Library at the University of Louisville. The manuscript was discovered by library director James Procell, who found it in Hill’s sketch book. The manuscript, along with several additional musical compositions and papers belonging to Hill, were donated to the library in the 1950s by local philanthropist Hattie Bishop Speed, a friend of the Hill sisters. These documents weren’t cataloged upon receipt and were thus filed away and remained hidden in the library’s archives for decades. Procell plans to fully catalog and digitize Hill’s materials in the coming months and is working with School of Music faculty and students to organize a concert of her music in 2016, a century after her death.

HUMANA FOUNDATION DONATES $30,000 TO THE KENTUCKY CENTER FOR THE PERFORMING ARTS TO SUPPORT ARTS IN HEALING PROGRAM The Kentucky Center for the Performing Arts recently received a $30,000 gift from the Humana Foundation. This grant will be used to support The Kentucky Center’s Arts in Healing program, which provides positive arts experiences to those healing from physical and mental health challenges. This grant from the Humana Foundation will help The Kentucky Center expand its Arts in Healing program to reach even more patients recovering from substance abuse, movement disorders and the wounds of war, children facing physical and emotional abuse and abandonment, seniors embracing the end of life, families dealing with homelessness, and patients undergoing cancer treatment. Arts in Healing participants engage in instrumental music, vocal music, storytelling, dance, drama and visual arts – providing a creative outlet for stress and difficult circumstances.

THIRD ANNUAL 502 LUNCH WEEK ANNOUNCED As a part of Louisville’s most anticipated foodie events, the Third Annual 502 Lunch Week will be held in Louisville, Kentucky and Southern Indiana during September 14-25, 2015.

The event is growing, with more restaurants participating, and the presence of 502 Foodie events increasing promotions throughout the Louisville region. 2015 will be another foodie success for diners as they are offered a special 2-Course menu, which includes a beverage for just $10 per person or $15 per person, depending on the restaurant. Price does not include tax or gratuity.

Mary Stebbins, the Director of Operations for Mark’s Feed Store, who has had five locations in 502 Lunch Week all three years, says “This is Mark’s Feed Store’s 3rd year participating in 502 Lunch Week. This has been a great promotion for us, offering the guest great lunch menu offerings at a value price. It drives in old as well as new guests into our restaurant, which is a big boost to our lunch business during this event. 502 Events does an outstanding job marketing the event which gives us local restaurants a chance to highlight ourselves.”

After the Navy, Halsey enrolled in the Harvard Business School earning his MBA. It was during his time at Harvard that Halsey met the love of his life, Barbara Richards Neal of Cleveland Ohio on a blind date. Two short years later they were married in 1959 and enjoyed 56 wonderful years together.

In addition he

served on the many of Louisville’s boards including the Presbyterian Community Center of Louisville, Actors Theatre and St. Francis High School.

A devoted family man, Halsey enjoyed shared passions of hiking, whitewater canoeing and paddling the streams of Kentucky, Tennessee and North Carolina with his family.

Can Petrino Tame the Tigers?

The University of Louisville kicks off the 2015 season on Saturday in Atlanta, Georgia against No. 6 Auburn in the Chick-fil-A Kickoff game. The Cards sold out their allotment of 30,000 tickets, and the game is a sellout in the 70,000 seat Georgia Dome. Bobby Petrino was 3-1 against Auburn when he was the head coach at Arkansas. Petrino decided against naming a starting quarterback, as he did before the Cards Belk Bowl game against Georgia in December. Petrino went 9-4 in 2014 and is 50-13 in 5 total seasons as the head coach of the Cards. the guards off of them. He works extremely hard and doesn’t open up anything in the middle and kind of flushes the ball to our fast guys. He’s very strong and knows the game of football very well.

You’ve had a lot of success in season openers – you are 10-0 – what has been the key to that?

I think it starts in the offseason. We start working on it in the offseason, as far as the coaching staff and how much focus we put into the opening game. Our players and all the weight lifting and conditioning and everything that we do, they understand that we’re sitting out there with a bigtime opening game. We’re just trying to be very dedicated to it.

Taylor’s 10 KENT TAYLOR WAVE3 Sports

Auburn has gotten a lot of preseason hype, ranked No. 6 in the AP poll, and Jeremy Johnson, their quarterback, has been mentioned in some Heisman talk.

What are you impressions of him?

He’s a very good player. He’s big, got a good arm, quick release, can get rid of the ball. Most of the time we see him as a guy that likes to stay in the pocket and throw it, although Gus Malzahn has come out and said that he is a better runner than most people think he is.

What the biggest factors in your quarterback competition?

Well, number one, you have to have a quarterback that’s very competitive and will, you know, make the players around him better.

You’ve got to have one that’s reliable, that we can trust, that’s not unpredictable, so that we come out there and we know, if we see certain things, he’s gonna do what he’s been coached to do. Then he’s got to be accurate – that’s the biggest thing. Guys aren’t gonna be wide open, so you’re gonna have to be accurate with the ball and put it on his right ear lobe or his left shoulder or his right hip and have the ability to throw guys open at times.

It helps to have a good defense to do that. Is the defensive line the strength of that unit?

I think we’re really strong in our front seven guys. If you look at what Pio can do and what Sheldon Rankins can do – they’re both physical and fast and understand the game. DeAngelo Brown does all the dirty work. He’s the guy that keeps the linebackers clean and keeps S E P T E M B E R 3 , 2 0 1 5 • W W W . V O I C E -T R I B U N E . C O M

Devonte Fields didn’t arrive in the best shape. You had talked about that at media day, but has he played his way into shape and into a big role?

He’s got a lot of ability. You can really see the flashes of his ability to rush the passer. He can hold the point and really help us against the run. We knew that he wouldn’t be in the same condition as our players – they never are when they first get here – but he’s done a nice job of gradually getting better and being able to play more and more plays in our scrimmages.

Has James Quick embraced a leadership role in that wide receiver room?

It stood right out in our winter workouts and throughout spring ball. He’s done it just by his work ethic. Just by going in and grinding every day, trying to finish every drill that he’s in. He takes more reps at practice than anybody else out there because he hustles back to the huddle.

If hard work pays off, he should have a great year for us.

inexperienced. We have the two starters coming back who have had good fall and have done a nice job of leading the group. We still feel like there are some question marks there that we’re going to find out real quick.

How excited do you get for the atmosphere of what you will experience in the Georgia Dome?

We prepare for it, practicing in the noise.

That’s one thing that we started a little bit earlier this year because we know it’s going to be a loud place that echoes. So we’ve been working on our communication in the noise and our signals and non-verbal communication to be able to handle it. Most of them are not going to hear any cadence in there.

Last week UofL announced the plans to expand Papa John’s Cardinal Stadium by 10,000 seats and add 25,000 square feet to the Howard Schnellenberger Football Complex. What will that mean for the program?

It looks really cool – it’s a great design. I know Tom Jurich and Mark Jurich did their research and know how to go about it. I think it’s going to be awesome. It’ll be great for our fans, great for our players, and it should really help our recruiting. VT

How talented is the crop of receivers as you try to replace the production from DeVante Parker?

We’ve got some guys that are tall and long and can run and catch the ball. Not much experience, that’s the scary thing. It should be a good group. You have a few guys that have some experience in Ja’Quay Savage and Jamari Staples that we think will have a big year for us.

And then we’ve got some young guns that are brand new to us, that have ability. We have to just wait and see how they all fit in.

Your offensive line was one of the bigger questions heading into spring camp, having lost three starters. How have they gelled together?

We’ve improved a lot on the offensive line.

It’s a group that is big, physical, but young and

But can a coach turn a program around just by dint of his forceful personality? Didn’t Calipari? Billy Gillispie’s last team went 22-14. Cal’s first team went 35-3 and we never looked back. (Well, once, and we didn’t like what we saw.)

Mark Stoops’ low-key personality could be the secret weapon if UK football is to keep trending upwards.

But Stoops is so much different than either Calipari or Harbaugh. He doesn’t much seem to enjoy the microphone.

He doesn’t prowl the sidelines like Pete Carroll or glare like Nick Saban or throw up his hands in disdain and look to the heavens

like Steve Spurrier. (“Why, God, why did You burden the Old Ball Coach with such disappointing young men?”)

Stoops doesn’t get in his players’ faces in front of everybody, though you sort of know players wouldn’t want to arouse his wrath, either.

Cal’s recruiting is legendary. We don’t know much about that of Stoops. He seems to deflect a lot of the credit to his assistants.

Like Harbaugh, he’s from Ohio, and he sees the benefit of mining that football-rich state.

But Ohio kids know that heading across the state’s northern border is riding a bet that Harbaugh will indeed bring glory back to The Big House.

On the other hand, heading across Ohio’s southern border is heading – where? And why? There’s no national glory to recapture, no legendary conference rivalry to turn around, just a program that has been the SEC’s punching bag for a few seasons.

So in some sense, Stoops’ recruiting has been even more impressive than Cal’s. Cal has a national title, an annual pass to the Final Four, all those banners hanging at Rupp and all those first-round draftees making huge money. (Meet Michael KiddGilchrist, the new $52 million man.)

Stoops can only sell being part of a program that he will pull, through the strength of his convictions, across the SEC line: first, beat Florida; next, make a Bowl game; next, win the SEC East; and after that...

His jaw may not be set like Harbaugh’s, his patter may not inspire like Cal’s, but his freshmen and sophomores do tell a compelling story.

I don’t know how the story ends. But Chapter 2015, Verse One, is on Saturday. VT

Regular readers in this spot are often reminded tracks run races for a reason: to determine a winner. In the best of scenarios, factors converge to create final results on a given day, and in the best of scenarios, favorites win races a little more than 30 percent of the time.

The third and fourth place finishers, respectively, behind Keen Ice and American Pharoah in the Travers were familiar faces. Frosted, who pushed American Pharoah through a rugged and fast second half-mile in the Travers, and Upstart were strong pre-Triple Crown brand names.

JOHN For followers of American Pharoah, In the run-up to this year’s Kenthe first horse to sweep the U.S. TriASHER tucky Derby, many observers prople Crown in 37 years, the wisdom claimed – and I was part of the choof the adage was underscored last Saturday in the Travers Stakes at Saratoga.

When “Graveyard of Champions” when Donegal Rac- American Pharoah struggled to win the Kening’s Keen Ice swept past the Bob Baffert-trained tucky Derby, that opinion appeared validated.

The result is, so far, American racing’s biggest the pack. upset of 2015.

The loss by Ahmed Zayat’s homebred colt was his first since a career-opening loss last summer at Del Mar. It snapped a seven-race winning streak that many on Pharoah’s overflowing bandwagon assumed would continue to grow until a planned career finale in the $5 million Breeders’ Cup Classic on October 31 at Keeneland.

Despite much hand-wringing among members of the American Pharoah nation and some media representatives, many of whom flooded Twitter after the Travers, the loss by the Triple Crown winner was not the end of the world.

After all, the sun still rises six years after the previously perfect Zenyatta was beaten fair and square by Blame in the 2010 Breeders’ Cup Classic at Churchill Downs. With any luck, it will continue to brighten the Eastern sky once we’ve had time to digest the Travers result for a S E P T E M B E R 3 , 2 0 1 5 • W W W . V O I C E -T R I B U N E . C O M

Well before the Derby, Louisville-born trainer Dale Romans said Keen Ice was his best prospect to win the Run for the Roses. It was no idle boast, for Romans had flirted with winning America’s greatest race with strong runs by Paddy O’Prado, third behind Super Saver in the muddy 2010 Derby; eventual Preakness winner Shackleford, fourth to Animal Kingdom in the 2011 Derby; and Dullahan, third in Orb’s 2011 Kentucky Derby triumph.

Prior to the Travers, Keen Ice had visited the winner’s circle only once in 10 starts, but his improving performances had validated his quality and underscored his trainer’s faith at every turn.

He had finished a troubled seventh to American Pharoah in the Derby, then ran a solid third to the Triple Crown winner in the Belmont and a hard-charging second to Pharoah in the Haskell Invitational. The latter effort merits added scruti-

As American Pharoah seemed to improve through the Triple Crown and beyond, the other Triple Crown runners also stepped forward, but their progress was obscured by the smoke from American Pharoah’s Triple Crown fireworks.

Have those horses closed the gap on American Pharoah, or did America’s horse simply have an off-day? Baffert will work to figure that out over the next few days.

But in his Saratoga setback, American Pharoah joined legendary Man O’ War, who suffered his only career loss at The Spa when he was beaten

by Upset in the 1920 Sanford; 1946 Triple Crown winner Assault, shocked by 100-1 shot Jim Dandy in that year’s Travers; and the mighty Secretariat, who followed his mythic Triple Crown run with a loss to the inelegantly-named Onion in Saratoga’s Whitney, on the long roster of fallen favorites at Saratoga.

That’s not bad company, and the guess here is that American Pharoah’s loss in the Travers will look better with the dual benefits of time and hindsight. It’s very possible that Baffert will learn something from his disappointing visit to Saratoga that will help should American Pharoah stay on the track (and away from the breeding shed) and repair a minimally-tattered reputation with an attempt at career-ending glory in a Halloween treat at Keeneland.

Papa’s House to Get Bigger as Cards Ready for Tigers The expansion will include 1,000 modern club seats, 65 new premium loge-level boxes, and 10 exclusive field-level suites, while adding 25,000 distinct square feet of space. The Howard Schnellenberger Football Complex, which currently sits in the north end zone, will undergo a major expansion and facelift. The team’s weight room and conditioning center will double in size, creating a total of 20,000 square feet of work space for training, conditioning and therapeutic support. A spacious player’s lounge, improvements for coaches’ offices and the team locker room and expansive theatre-style meeting areas will also be among the enhancements for student-athlete development.

T

his weekend, the Louisville football team will travel to Atlanta to face a top 10 Auburn team that is the preseason pick to win the Southeastern Conference.

You know this because we’ve been counting down the days to this one since what feels like early April.

MIKE RUTHERFORD @cardchronicle

Now season-openers are always exciting, and season-openers against big name programs are next-level exciting. But I think I speak for all of us when I say that there’s something a little bit different about this game and this day. The countdown to kickoff this summer has been more than just a still march to a big contest and a highly anticipated season – it’s been ripe with the reinforcement that Louisville is now officially playing with the big boys.

Fifteen years ago, Cardinal fans were still ecstatic over the recent opening of the 42,000seat Papa John’s Cardinal Stadium and counting down the days until the team’s annual showdown with Conference USA rival Southern Mississippi. Meanwhile, the powers that be at UofL were desperately trying (with little success) to get some of the sport’s most powerful programs to agree to play home-andhome series.

Fast forward to last week when UofL athletR E N D E R I N G C O U R T E S Y O F LO U I S V I L L E AT H L E T I C S

ic director Tom Jurich announced the plans for a stadium expansion that will eventually allow around 65,000 Cardinal fans to watch the red and black play at home. In addition to this Saturday’s game against Auburn, Louisville has set season-openers for the future against Purdue in Indianapolis (2017), against Alabama in Orlando (2018), and against Notre Dame at home (2019).

A Cardinal football fan from 1993 reading that last paragraph would probably look something like an early 19th century intellectual experiencing electricity: they could have imagined it, but being faced directly with its reality would still be staggering.

The best part about the move to the ACC from a football standpoint was never the potential access to the new playoff or the promise of more money, it was the guarantee that every single season Louisville would have a chance.

A chance to play and defeat some of the biggest names in college football, a chance to earn a top 10 national ranking without people constantly questioning its validity, and a chance to win a major conference championship. There would be no repeat of 2013, when the Cards’ schedule knocked them out of the national championship race before a single snap was ever taken.

Perception trumps reality in college football more than it does in any other major American sport, and the current perception – regardless of how many times it’s disproved on the field –

25

is that if you play and are at least mildly competitive in a major conference, you are a much better program than ones which dominate lesser leagues. The company you keep is extremely important, and Louisville’s new ACC brethren, in addition to the stadium expansion, have certainly played a large role in UofL’s ability to get teams like Auburn and Alabama on the schedule.

Of course, with any potential reward there is a potential risk, and Louisville’s big chance against the top 10 Tigers goes hand-in-hand with the chance that it might wind up being beaten in front of a large national audience on CBS. When the Cardinals take the field inside the Georgia Dome, they will be doing so as double-digit underdogs for the first time in 27 games. The last time it happened? The 2013 Sugar Bowl, when Louisville was a two-touchdown dog against another SEC powerhouse, Florida. I don’t need to tell you how that played out.

For as long as I can remember, all anyone associated with Louisville football has wanted is a shot. The program couldn’t get into a top-tier conference because of its lack of on-field success, and then once that success came, it couldn’t get any national powerhouse programs to agree to play. Now, the Cardinals have both the conference and the opponents they’ve always wanted.

You can’t hit a home run unless you swing big, and you can’t swing big unless someone’s willing to pitch to you. Expect Louisville to take a mighty hack this Saturday. VT W W W . V O I C E -T R I B U N E . C O M • S E P T E M B E R 3 , 2 0 1 5

Far from Friendly

rlando City got a taste of what they used to do in the minors as Louisville City dominates struggling MLS club at Slugger Field on August 25.

JOEY CECIL

THIS WAS FAR FROM FRIENDLY In what was slated as a quick turnaround friendly in the middle of two respective playoff pushes, neither side acted like it was “just a friendly.” From the first whistle, Louisville City pushed the pace, and Orlando City reciprocated with equal attacking frenzy in a back and forth first half that saw both teams looking to take advantage of stretched backlines. Neither side looked like they were there just to check off a required task, and the fans benefited from an allout, wide-open match.

LIONS WERE CAUGHT ON THE PROWL On a night where Louisville City put in three goals, two of them came from pressure and sheer individual will. In the 51st minute, Juan Guzman pressured a series of back passes between Orlando keeper Earl Edwards and his backline, which resulted in Guzman pouncing on a weak pass, forcing the ball away from Edwards and tapping in an easy goal. The goal gave LouCity a 2-0 lead at the time and helped Guzman to a Man of the Match title. Edwards’ rough night continued in the 78th when Charlie Adams rounded his defender and surprisingly stole the ball from Edwards grasp, which also resulted in a tap-in goal. The keeper would earn a yellow for his dissent on the goal, but the goal stood and gave Louisville City its final scoreline lead of 3-1.

THE FANS WERE INSANE A record crowd showed up to witness Louisville City’s triumph over Orlando City in insane fashion. The final tally was 9,434 rowdy, engaged fans that created an atmosphere that S E P T E M B E R 3 , 2 0 1 5 • W W W . V O I C E -T R I B U N E . C O M

surely helped motivate the home side. Louisville was challenged to make this a marquee game, and both the team and, more importantly, the fans made it happen. It was awesome to see the perspective from the press box of fans along the first base line all rising in unison as Louisville City would attack the far goal and wait in anticipation for something to scream about.

A SECOND CHANCE DONE WELL In their second match-up against an MLS side, albeit a lineup from Orlando City that would not be called first choice, Louisville City FC made the most of the opportunity to show how talented they really are. The first-year USL side came out full of energy and controlled the game from the first kick. Besides a 66th minute goal by Orlando City’s Danny Mwanga, the home side kept the MLS visitors from making this a routine friendly between lower level and top level sides. The performance from LouCity was excellent, and even that might be an understatement.

A CHIP OFF THE SHOULDER Bryan Burke, one of three Louisville City roster members formerly associated with Orlando, said that this result definitely felt like a chip off his shoulder and a vindicated win. Coach O’Connor strolled out basically a first choice lineup in a midweek exhibition, with the only exception being the insertion of Sean Reynolds for Conor Shanosky, who is still recovering from a broken nose suffered on Saturday. A big question coming in was how seriously this game would be taken, and the boys from Louisville City came out with something to prove and a point to make. This was even a chip off the shoulder moment for the fans and the city as well since Orlando City will be ending their partnership with Louisville City after this season.

If there ever was such a perfect example of a “poetic goodbye,” this 3-1 win would qualify. VT

ayden Shelton rushed for two touchdowns while passing for another as Male (2-0) stormed past local 6-A rivals Ballard 45-7. Shelton completed 18 of 26 passes for 317 yards as the Bulldogs crushed the Bruins.

Male wide-out Zackery Smith had the most productive evening with four receptions for 159 yards with teammate Marcus Clark catching seven receptions for 84 yards. Friday’s win marked the third consecutive win for Male over Ballard with the Bulldogs averaging 38 points as the winning margin.

LOOKING AHEAD A Class 6-A showdown will take place Friday September 4 at 7:30 p.m. when the Trinity Shamrocks (1-0) will host the Lafayette Generals (1-0) from Lexington, Ky. Notable players in this one will be the defensive back Rodjay Burns from Trinity. He has committed to Louisville. Lafayette has arguably the state’s top 2017 college prospect in Jedrick Wills. The 6-foot5, 315-pound Wills has a plethora of scholarship offers and has elevated himself as a national recruit. Top offers include Alabama, Florida, Florida St., Notre Dame, Michigan St. and South Carolina. VT

Twenty-four years later, the Fab Five has been reincarnated with five senior golfers at St. Xavier High School. The senior starters consist of Michael Sass, Drew Kiehl, Allen Hamilton, Billy Basham and Matt Liston.

Each will be going to play golf next season in college. These five led St. X to the 2014 State Championship, and this year, helped earn a

have known each other for quite some time.

Drew, Michael and Matt all went to grade school together. Billy and Allen then joined the crew in eighth grade when all five started to play golf together.

Michael Sass, who is considered the “black mamba”of the group, is headed to the College of Charleston next year. He loves the camaraderie with the other four guys.

“I have been close with everybody for a

long time. We’ve all been pretty close since high school started. We play together all the time, on weekends and everything.”

With five guys who are so very close, there is normally one out of the bunch who is the comedian. The five agreed that Billy Basham is that guy. Considering the pressure and intensity that comes from striving for success, someone with a bit of humor is certainly needed to relieve some tension. Basham is currently deciding between Eastern Kentucky University, UofL and Coastal Carolina. “I am just outgoing I guess,” he says.

“I try to make everybody laugh to ease the tension. When we are out on the course and someone is having a bad day, I can try and cheer them up by making them laugh and get them relaxed so that they can start to play good golf.”

Each player is sound in golf, having particular skills that are stronger than others. This has led to the program breaking numerous records with the hope being to break more this season. Drew Kiehl, who is considering Furman or Miami of Ohio as his college options, claims that, “Every tournament we go into, we are looking to break more records and believe we will set even bigger records than we did last year. We should have no problem doing so if we just trust our games.

That legacy will put a huge mark on St. X golf and bring more kids from grade school wanting to come to St. X because of that type of mentality and legacy we left at the school.”

He also argues that, “Golf at St. X should be more of a factor. Students here need to know how good we are. We are going to a level that St. X has never seen before. To have five guys this strong is pretty special, and I think St. X needs to know more about that.”

Allen Hamilton, who also will be attending UK, is considered the “smart guy” out of the group and similarly relishes his experience playing with his teammates. “Just to play with these four guys is really awesome,” he says. “It has made me so much better as a golfer by being a part of this team.”

If someone inquired about the Fab Five of St. X in years to come, Drew Kiehl would leave them with this quote. “We have a lot of swag. As a team, we are confident and believe in the capabilities we have on and off the golf course. We stay cool, calm and collected under pressure, and we just get the job done. It will be hard to break us up no matter how old we get.” VT W W W . V O I C E -T R I B U N E . C O M • S E P T E M B E R 3 , 2 0 1 5

rettes. Yes, this was legal in those days. One of the biggest of all the festivals was the one produced in New York City. It took place simultaneously at Lincoln Center and Carnegie Hall.

Last Saturday evening Mary Margaret Phelps gave a delightful outdoor cocktail and dinner party at her home on Dunvegan Road.

Both possessed a wicked sense of humor.

The occasion last week was in honor of the engagement of her grandson, William Brandt McCool to the lovely Eve Lillian Samborn of Chicago. Brandt is the son of Steve and Melanie Phelps McCool.

During the performances in the evening while Brad and Paula worked, Ernie, a powerful lawyer with the Shea Gould Law Firm, and I held forth in the Carnegie Hall Bar, waiting for our spouses to finish up for the evening.

After a festive cocktail hour, the guests were served a bountiful buffet by the Silver Spoon.

It included coriander salmon, beef tenderloin, grilled veggies and sun-dried tomatoes, quinoa with dried fruit and vegetables and white chocolate mousse cake. The menu was chosen reflecting Brandt’s favorite things.

What’s the point of all of this? Through the years – post-jazz festival days – Ernie and Paula came to Louisville to visit and to attend the Derby each year, and we visited them in Connecticut. Many of our Louisville friends enjoyed their company until one tragic day over 12 years ago when Ernie, the absolute life of every party, suddenly died, leaving

NUPTIALS IN NEWPORT

S E P T E M B E R 3 , 2 0 1 5 • W W W . V O I C E -T R I B U N E . C O M

Being the strong person that she is, Paula oversaw the weddings of Sarah and Amy. Their weddings both took place at wonderful sites in Newport. Last week Jena and William “Billy” Howard Palmer said their vows at Ft. Adams State Park, the familiar site and home of the Newport Jazz Festival. What a glorious site and with weather that couldn’t have been nicer.

Ft. Adams was built at the beginning of the 19th Century and was named to honor President Adams. It is circular in construction and has a huge central parade ground that was the site of the nuptials that took place smackdab in the middle with an afternoon setting sun in the background. The simple, lovely ceremony with all of the nieces in white dresses as attendants and the bride’s sister Leah as the maid of honor, took place with a cool breeze beautifully blowing the bridal veil. Then, when the minister pronounced the couple officially married, the audience’s applause was punctuated with an enormous boom from the Fort’s cannon.

Cocktails; a raw bar with shrimp, oysters, and clams; an antipasto buffet with everything you can imagine; and passed hors d’ouvres from lamb chops, watermelon squares with goat cheese mousse, and mushroom tarts should have been enough for the evening.

However, the party moved outside the wall of the Fort to a lovely dinner overlooking Naraganset Bay just in time for the fireworks, fortunately provided free of charge across the waters by the local naval base.

Sir Philip was the music man for the evening, and everyone loved him.

Nearly 40 years ago, husband Brad and I struck up an acquaintance with a charming couple from Greenwich, Connecticut. At the time, Brad was doing marketing for Brown & Williamson Tobacco Corporation, and one of his responsibilities was overseeing the presentation of jazz festivals to promote Kool ciga-

Lucie Stansbury I have always wanted to get into the clothing business, but the timing wasn’t always right. But much of my background is in art, marketing and art direction and some art history too, so all of that works together when it comes to designing home and home accessories. But my real passion really lies with apparel. I love the self-expression aspect of fashion, but I also love to see other people’s takes on the same items of clothing and how different the looks can end up being, depending on accessories and colors. That’s the fun part. When it comes to my style, it encompasses a lot of different looks depending on the situation I am in, but I would say overall boho-chic. But it does vary. As for Liv Boutique, I would like for us to be known for great service, a wide range of product, great price points and new brands.

The Alzheimer’s Association is staging its annual Walk to End Alzheimer’s Walk on September 12 at Louisville’s Waterfront Park.

We caught up with Margaret Walsh of the Louisville chapter of the Alzheimer’s Association to find out more.

Louisville is a very generous city. It must be heartening to know that the Alzheimer’s Association receives such support, correct?

Louisville is a tremendously generous city that continues its support each year. This chapter is so good at fundraising for this cause because so many businesses, community leaders and individuals throw benefits that support us and our vision. One in five people are affected by this disease in some way, and it is heartwarming to see people not only donating to our cause but talking about us and how we can help people who are affected by this devastating disease live with grace and dignity.

Is there still time to take part in this year’s event? Either as a volunteer or walking?

Yes, we accept registrations right up until the Walk to End Alzheimer’s at Waterfront Park on September 12. There is no registration fee, but participants can make donations as teams or individuals and set fundraising goals, but you can be a participant no matter what. While it is a fundraiser for us, the awareness piece is appreciated. There is strength in numbers, and the more people we have coming out to talk and support people with the disease and their families, the better. Potential volunteers can sign up at our local chapter’s website at alz.org/kyin

What can people expect on the day in terms of activities?

one of four colored pinwheel flowers that best represents their reason for Walking.

There is a lot of activity the morning of the Walk from our sponsor expo to our top individual fundraiser celebration in the Champions Tent. I think anyone who has attended the Walk would agree that the most meaningful part of the morning is the Promise Garden Ceremony.

• Blue: I have Alzheimer’s • Yellow: I am supporting or caring for someone with Alzheimer’s • Purple: I have lost someone to Alzheimer’s • Orange: I support the cause and a vision of a world without Alzheimer’s.

Alzheimer’s not only affects the person with the disease, but the lives of entire families are altered with a diagnosis. Each person connected to someone with Alzheimer’s has his or her own personal reasons for walking to end Alzheimer’s. Registered participants can choose

Is there anything else people should know about this year’s event?

We are opening registration a half hour earlier – 8:30 a.m. There is a lot of activity happening in the area, so we’re encouraging walkers to take advantage of the earlier time. VT

September/October: What to Look For Film BENNETT DUCKWORTH

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.

THE WALK The Good: Robert Zemekis’ return from semi-retirement with 2012’s “Flight” proved he still has the ambitions of a hard-working director who knows the combined value of good performances, long takes and challenging special effects.

The Bad: When the Academy Award winning documentary “Man on Wire” managed to wow all who saw it with real footage from the true story of the 1974 stunt that shocked the world as well as full interviews from its orchestrators – why risk making the whole thing feel phony by re-enacting it with actors and a bunch of CGI?

ROCK THE KASBAH Barry Levinson was one of my favorite directors. Maybe he still is, but it’s troubling when a guy spent most of the ’80s and ’90s making really good movies and then inexplicably started making forgettable works of banality from the turn of the century onwards. The fact that he is making an Afghanistan-set comedy starring Bill Murray as an American music producer has me intrigued with hope.

BLACK MASS Johnny Depp is Whitey Bulger … and he looks scary. It’s nice to see this talented actor giving himself a challenge worth our attention for once in a long time.

S E P T E M B E R 3 , 2 0 1 5 • W W W . V O I C E -T R I B U N E . C O M

CRIMSON PEAK It shouldn’t be considered special for an alluring scary movie to be released in October, but it remains a rare gift when a dark and creepy movie arrives just as the leaves are falling and there’s a chill in the air. With Guillermo Del Toro (“Pans Labyrinth”) at the helm of a Hammer style Gothic horror starring Mia Wasikowska, Tom Hiddleston and Jessica Chastain, we can expect a real Halloween treat.

THE MARTIAN The director of “Alien” (Ridley Scott) teams with the writer of “Cabin in the Woods” (and that sweet “Daredevil” series on Netflix [Drew Goddard]) based on a celebrated sci-fi novel about an astronaut (Matt Damon) marooned on Mars. Why not? I’m in.

SICARIO Despite the stance one may have on the war on drugs, there’s something so compelling about those who engage the horrifying intimidation of the cartels.

If you’ve seen “Traffic,” “The Counselor” or “Breaking Bad,” then you’ve seen how cinematic the suspense can be. If you’ve seen Dennis Villenueve’s other film, “Prisoners,” you know how suspenseful he is.

With the talent of Emily Blunt in the lead as an FBI agent joining a task force featuring Jon Bernthal, Josh Brolin and Benicio Del Toro, this is sure to be one heavy movie.

EVEREST The folks behind this one don’t assure me with confidence, but the concept of an survival movie in the Himalayas with a great cast, including Josh Brolin, John Hawkes, Jason Clarke and Jake Gyllenhaal gives this potential to be a strong cinematic experience.

SLEEPING WITH OTHER PEOPLE The story of two old friends reuniting through a sex addiction support group could be dreadful, but Jason Sudeikis and Alison Brie – two very funny performers – may elevate the material.

BRIDGE OF SPIES Spielberg. If you don’t understand why that’s reason enough, let me put it to you this way: Even his worst movies possess characteristics that only a man with a rich cinematic vision could accomplish. This Cold War espionage drama, starring Tom Hanks, is the director’s first film since 2012’s “Lincoln.” Along with a script by the Coen Brothers, this should make for an interesting new entry in this great director’s career. VT

A Man of Wealth and Taste Patrick Wensink has lived in Louisville for several years. During that time, his career as a savvy detailer of our absurd world has only grown, including an episode where he publicly tangoed with the Jack Daniel’s corporation. He told me about his latest novel and what’s ahead. anything that could bring in tourists, though. So I wondered, what would they do if they tried to stimulate the economy since a lot of the industry has dried up and people are moving to bigger cities? Finally, I read about a satellite that crashed in the Australian Outback and it grabbed my attention. Standing alone, those three things weren’t much of a story, but when I thought of combining them, it gave me the fuel to start the book.

T U E S DAY, S E P T E M B E R 1 “SEVEN GUITARS” PRESENTED BY ACTORS THEATRE LOUISVILLE After serving jail time on a trumped-up vagrancy charge, blues musician Floyd Barton sets out to win back his girl and reclaim his pawned guitar, hoping to make a new hit record. Set in 1948 in the backyard of a Pittsburgh apartment house, “Seven Guitars” follows Floyd’s circle of friends and neighbors – the play’s seven voices – as they spin a rich tale of the deck that’s stacked against them, what they’ve lost and all they dream. This lyrical play is part of August Wilson’s Century Cycle, which charts the African-American experience through each decade of the 20th century. The show runs through September 20, and tickets start at $25.

Inspired by a 19th century home in Charleston, South Carolina, the home was built by Jason Black, formerly of Stonecroft Homes and now with Artisan Signature Homes.

With white posts running along a welcoming veranda, its architecture simultaneously evokes a modern freshness and an old-fashioned Southern charm.

In a bathroom nearby, Sandy Kimura of Kimura Design worked for three weeks, freehand painting a picturesque Kentucky horse farm on the walls.

An adjoining “Darkhorse Tavern” features a Maker’s Mark-themed bar. Fascinating details include a replica bourbon barrel and a Louisville Slugger bat.

“I tell people if it’s not breathing, I’m going to paint it,” says Kimura, who’s known for her murals.

Nearby, Decorating Den Interiors owner Kristen Pawlak turned a guest bedroom into a “traveler’s getaway.” Above the bead, a wallpaper mural of a vintage Chevrolet serves as the room’s focal point. The Chevy’s grill is replicated by a crisscross metal theme in the headboard, in a lamp and in some photographs of the Eiffel Tower.

Several small, framed paintings hang in a few spaces where the mural doesn’t reach. Among them is a portrait of American Pharoah that Kimura painted based on a photo she took at the Derby.

A long window seat provides space for additional guests. Flowers and porcelain bird figurines give off an elegant yet casual feel.

While you might expect a basement to be a cramped sort of place, you’ll instead find a 10-foot ceiling downstairs. You’ll want to plop down on the deep sofa, which faces a wide screen recessed in the light brick wall.

The iconic Paris structure fits into a global motif, which shows up in a painting of an elephant’s head and in a delightfully distressed armoire.

“I decided to have fun with it,” Pawlak says.

Back upstairs, C.C. & Co. Interiors’ designer Cay Cassady created a warm, invigorating office for the lady of the home. Pops of color emerge here and there against a neutral palette.

Another guest bedroom features the work of J. Waddell Interiors. The walls are a strong lavender, the bed plush with sink-down comfort.

In a nod to the owner’s fascination with photography, bedside furniture is decorated with vintage cameras.

A canopy frame without the cloth has a structural and architectural feel.

“I played with the juxtaposition of masculine and feminine elements,” says Joan Waddell.

You’ll also find that juxtaposition in the master bedroom, where Kevin Coleman of Tassels carried along the architectural theme with some duskier colors. The room has an air of formality, even some borderline Gothic furniture. But it’s livened up by amethyst and plenty of flowers.

Purple Martins Are His Mission

t’s business as usual at the Ford Assembly Plant’s paint department on Fern Valley Road on the outskirts of Louisville.

Trucks roar as they pull in and out of the drive. For as far as the eye can see, there’s little more than sky and power lines, concrete, cyclone fences and industrial buildings.

wild bird and his family. But this is exactly where 40 purple martin couples come to raise the next generation. In March, they fly into the plant, locate the same manmade nesting cavities in which they raised last year’s family, and Profile start their yearly mating dance.

The noise and the nearby trucks LYNN don’t faze them. Only a few feet HAMILTON away, Ford cars are being painted en masse. The fumes are so carefully contained that the birds are unaffected.

It might seem like an unlikely home for a S E P T E M B E R 3 , 2 0 1 5 • W W W . V O I C E -T R I B U N E . C O M

These nests are the passion of Larry Melcher who came to work at the Ford plant in 2000. In his day job, he is a pipe fitter and

66

plumber who also works in maintenance.

That’s his job, but purple martins are his mission.

In 1998, his father, who farmed martins in the 1970s, gave Melcher an aluminum martin box as a house-warming present. Melcher confesses he did not, at first, know a lot about the species.

That didn’t stop the marP H O T O B Y C H R I S H U M P H R E Y S | T H E V O I C E -T R I B U N E

“They found me,” he says.

So, two years, later, when he took a job at the Ford Assembly Plant and saw white plastic gourds mounted in clusters on poles, he knew exactly what they were: purple martin nests.

He asked around, and it turned out that no one was monitoring or maintaining the boxes. Being a purple martin landlord, Melcher explains, is a lot like being a gardener. Sure you can throw some seeds on the ground and hope for the best, but if you pull weeds and fertilize and guard against predators, you get a much better garden.

Similarly, you can put up a purple martin gourd or box and get purple martins. But you get more of them if you care for them. And, if they raise their young to adulthood, the martins will return from their winter home in South America to nest in the exact same place the following year. As long as they can be successful parents, they will ignore the trucks and noise and concrete.

Melcher asked if he could take over the

plant’s martin boxes, and Ford said yes.

Today, Melcher oversees not only the 40 nests at the Ford plant but also 70 at Bernheim Arboretum & Research Forest and 52 at his home in Shepherdsville. He would like to expand his trail, but he’s reached the limit of what he can do without more help.

He didn’t become an expert overnight, but, as he went about caring for the nests at the Ford plant, people he worked with showed a lot of interest. They kept asking questions.

“I literally got tired of saying, ‘I don’t know,’” he explains. So he studied and connected with other purple martin enthusiasts.

One thing he learned is that Ford Motors founder Henry Ford himself was also an avid bird watcher and purple martin admirer.

Armed with knowledge, Melcher modified the gourds to make them more habitable. He vented them and added guards that protect the nests from owl and starling predation and baffles that protect against raccoons. During the nesting season – roughly March through July – he checks the progress of the babies, from eggs to hatchlings to young birds ready to fledge.

All 40 nests are mounted on two poles.

The nests are shaped like gourds, but they are plastic, which makes them more durable and easier to clean out when nesting season is over. They’re designed with a screw off cap that allows Melcher to check the progress of the young martins every week or so until they fly the gourd.

Purple martins used to nest in tree bowls and other natural cavities. But as trees gave way to houses and industry, the martins became dependent on man-made nest cavities. At this point in time, the species is entirely dependent on man for its survival. Without martin enthusiasts like Melcher, who work tirelessly to maintain nest box trails, the species would go extinct within one generation.

That’s the message that Melcher would like to share with the world. Without our help, there will be no purple martins. They need us and, without them, the planet would be a lonelier place. VT If you would like to help Larry Melcher create more habitat for purple martins, email him at purplemartin@windstream.net. To learn more about purple martins, visit purplemartin.org.

I won’t deny that it felt strange getting a full technical breakdown of the things that I’ve been inclined to think of as magical.

A throw is also a great way to mix it up, especialin the accents of the season.

One of the easiest ways to switch from summer to fall is via your pillows or throws. “That’s a great way to introduce new color,” she explains. “And that helps prevent you from getting bored with everything.” Cole has experience with designing livS E P T E M B E R 3 , 2 0 1 5 • W W W .

Swapping out throws can also be a fun and easy way to play with the textual elements of a room. “If you have a certain color theme going through your house and you don’t want to introduce another color, then the faux fur would be a neat textural way to introduce fall without messing up what you’ve got going through-

out the house,” Cole reasons.

In the bedroom, you can make similar seasonal style changes by trading out the bedding. “I’ll always do a solid coverlet,” Cole describes of when she designs a bedroom. “But then you can add your color with a throw or a quilt on the end of the bed as well as with the pillows. And that way you can change it up without having to spend on new custom bedding.” If perhaps a couple has invested significantly in all elements of master bedroom and prefer to leave it unchanged, the guest room can also be a great place to welcome the season. Bringing in some seasonal pillow covers for the bed or towels for the guest bathroom are painless changes, and, as Cole adds, “It can really make a guest feel special too.”

Additionally, modifications may be made to home accessories to really make the season pop. For example, entryway rugs are a simple swap and can make a very strong impression when entertaining.

“You’re not going to change out your dining room rug that you spent $3,000 on, but something smaller in the entryway that guests see every time they wipe their feet is easy to change out.” Meanwhile,

Donna Outlaw, owner of Dwellings, suggests, if possible, that homeowners switch out the more summery sisal rugs to warmer oriental rugs for the fall.

Finally, the introduction of autumn candles are great way to spice up your home without altering the general aesthetic. “Candles are a good way not to change anything – you’re just adding candles,” Cole emphasizes. “You’re not messing with your color scheme if you’ve invested a lot in that. And that way you can bring in the feel of fall without having to change all your linens and spend money.”

Other accessories homeowners can consider are the general byproducts of fall. A unique branch, for example, can instantly transform a simple vase into an autumn centerpiece. Or bringing some firewood into the hearth, even if it’s not functional, can incorporate warmth and the spirit of the season into a room just by its presence.

And of course, there’s the novelty decorations for Halloween: jack-o’-lanterns, leaf wreathes and witches’ brooms. But as Cole asserts, there is a myriad of other ways to make your home feel like fall without hanging up a skeleton: “If you don’t really like that novelty decoration, you can still make your house feel like fall by doing a few simple things.” VT

Digging on the Growth of a Business

en Palmer-Ball has a passion for growing things.

how all too often homeowners will gravitate toward the big box stores for their exterior furnishing needs when there is so much more that could be explored.

“Outdoor rooms are a great extension of your house and your environment,” he contends. “And with fire pits and some shelters, you can extend the season into November.”

P H O T O S B Y R E M Y S I S K | T H E V O I C E -T R I B U N E

FA L L H O M E & GARDEN

Last fall, Digs took a major step in its growth and began selling indoor furniture as well. It’s been a hit with customers as they can shop for it even when it’s sub-zero temperatures outside. “[Selling indoor furniture] kind of takes the seasonality out of things,” Palmer-Ball reasons. “I love year-round outdoor living, but in Louisville it’s not as practical as it is was out west.”

Digs is enjoying success with its new indoor furnishings, and Palmer-Ball even hopes to open a store dedicated to indoor items. “I would love to separate the two concepts and actually have a Digs At Home store and a Digs In The Garden store,” he says, referencing the store’s slogan. “Right now, dividing one store into two spaces gets a little tricky, so if this continues to be successful, I’d love to spin it off.”

In the immediate future, however, Palmer-Ball is busy gearing up for fall. He’s been occupied recently with the Bellarmine University Women’s Council’s 2015 Designer’s Show House, which showcases one of his favorite items for fall: a table by Brown Jordan that holds a fire at its center. “It’s the functionality of a table plus some heat and warmth as well,” he describes of the piece, which can be ordered at Digs. By mid-September, the store will be completely flipped for fall and customers can

begin stocking up on items that can keep outdoor entertaining going until Thanksgiving.

Regardless of whatever season it is, Palmer-Ball relishes improving Digs and fine-tuning it for the customers’ wants and needs. The store contains the essence of his original concept with select gardening equipment – “It’s more for gardening as a hobby as opposed to a passion,” he says of the

inventory. But the store has evolved far beyond that and grown into something unparalleled in the Louisville community. Palmer-Ball asserts, “I think Digs is probably my passion because I just love being outside and growing things.” VT Digs is located at 3905 Chenoweth Square and is currently offering the last of its summer items at significant markdowns.

The Lazy Girl’s Garden

veryone wants a beautiful, unforgettable yard or garden. But few of us want to dig, weed and sweat. Fortunately, with a little thought and research, you can have a small paradise that’s very easy to keep up, allowing you to get on with the important work of basking in a hammock with a glass of iced tea and a copy of “Gone Girl.”

Contributing Writer LYNN HAMILTON

FORGET GRASS Grass is boring and high maintenance. It wants nothing better than to go all brown on you or die completely and leave your front yard naked. Grass requires too much water, too much fertilizer, too much replanting and too much cutting.

No matter what your Uncle Fred tells you, there are perfectly good substitutes for grass.

Ground cover, for instance, can be beautiful, and it grows sideways, not up, so you just got out of mowing and trimming. Two hardy native ground covers are: American alumroot (Heuchera americana), a leafy perennial whose green leaves are beautifully accented with purple veins, and wild blue phlox (Phlox divaricata), which is really a tiny wildflower that comes around again year after year without being replanted.

Phlox divaricata.

If ground cover is still too much work for you, there’s rubber mulch. Rubber mulch is not especially fashionable, but it is indestructible.

It looks respectable when used as the dramatic setting for plants in well-defined raised beds.

Rubber mulch is also a godsend for people with small children that play in the yard. It’s non-allergenic and will not cut your offspring when he or she falls on it. It will also stay cleaner than any organic thing you might think to have in your yard.

S E P T E M B E R 3 , 2 0 1 5 • W W W . V O I C E -T R I B U N E . C O M

You could, in theory, just cover your yard with rubber mulch and be done with it. But, to give it a little style and grace, you will want to interject some low-maintenance shrubs or small trees or, if you’re really avoiding doing any work, some potted plants. Finish the whole look off with a stone pathway or two and a fountain or statue, and you have a yard that your neighbors need not sneer at.

“People can use them as a planter and plant around them. We sell a lot of them.”

People also like to buy terra cotta masonry, according to Nicholson: “Terra cotta is fun to put around. You have your own little ruins.”

People also go to his store looking for arbors, architectural elements that gardeners use to train roses and other climbing plants. Arbors,

A quick Google search for rubber mulch will turn up tasteful, organic looking colors like wine and forest green, but, if you’re not a slave to understatement, you can buy your mulch in bright colors like cobalt blue, salmon pink and lemon yellow.

If the lovely colors of mulch are not your thing, there’s always white rock – a favorite ground cover of people who wish to create the illusion of a Japanese garden as well as those who live in water deficient places.

PLANT NATIVES Farmer and St. Matthews Feed & Seed Consultant Carson Nation says, if you want to plant something and then forget about it, plant natives.

Kentucky wildflowers make a beautiful garden and, because they are from here, they can tolerate the local soil and weather better than imported plants.

Nation has planted several “perennial gardens,” as he calls them near his crops because they attract bees, which he needs as pollinators.

He gets a 30 percent better yield on his crops as a result. He recommends wildflowers like echinacea, rudbeckia, foxglove, wild bee balm and lovilia.

Nation also recommends native trees like serviceberries, paw paws and persimmons because they’re hardy and they bear fruit. You don’t have to spray them because they stand up well to pests.

“I let ’em go and grow,” says Nation.

HARDSCAPES Once you’ve created a low-maintenance infrastructure, you can have a lot of fun with ornaments, also known in the home and garden world as “hardscapes” – flagstones, statuary, permeable stone or brick walkways, decorative stones, fountains, bird baths, etc. One local expert on hardscapes is Joe Nicholson, the manager at Architectural Salvage. Nicholson says that urns are a popular item for landscapes.

74

Nicholson explains, “give a sense of entry to a garden.

They can support a vine.”

When the vine is mature, “they look spectacular,” he adds.

Another hardscape feature that lends itself to vines is a topiary – basically a wire column, sometimes topped off with a sundial called an armillary. Admittedly, the dramatic topiaries that you find in formal gardens require quite a bit of maintenance to keep their dramatic edges, but there’s no reason that your topiary has to be that structured. It doesn’t have to look like a poodle.

But, if you decide on a topiary, what vines should you plant?

If you want foliage that will, in the long run, cost you no effort, find a weed you love and plant it. Lonicera sempervirens, also known as trumpet honeysuckle, is a gorgeous vine that grows like, well, the weed that it is. If you really want your garden to stand out on the block, plant the native and gorgeous Passiflora incarnata, a.k.a passionflower. VT

Echinacea.

PUZZLES

pets of the week George is a lovely boxer mix looking for his forever home. At less than a year old, George still needs guidance and a loving guide into adulthood. He wants to be the best dog he can be and knows that consistent training will help him understand and do what is expected of him. George also needs a lot of play time and exercise to keep him healthy and active. He’s looking for an active family who will have the time it takes to keep him busy and train him to be the dog they have hoped for. Will you be that family? George is neutered, micro-chipped and up-to-date on his vaccinations. Come meet him today at the Kentucky Humane Society’s Main Campus, 241 Steedly Drive.

Casanova is a lovely 9-month-old brown and black Tabby cat. He was rescued from the streets and kept for a time by a kind owner who realized he needed a new forever home.

Casanova has played with cats and with children. He still has enough kitten in him to love to play, but he also likes to snuggle and spend time with his person. Would you be willing to meet Casanova? Like his namesake, he may sweep you off your feet. Casanova is neutered, micro-chipped and up-to-date on his vaccinations. Visit him at the Kentucky Humane Society’s Main Campus, 241 Steedly Drive.
