As the holidays grow near everyone begins to ramp up for what’s to come, and that is giving: whether that be gifts for your loved ones, volunteering at a charity or donating to a cause you feel strongly about. Not only do we have a special section chock-full of holiday gift ideas, but we also have a feature story that helps us become more knowledgeable on a place that serves our community daily that needs our help: The Healing Place.

willing to help, and if donating money isn’t an option for you, The Healing Place is always in need of gently used clothing and toiletries. Give the gift of generosity this holiday season.

On a lighter note, in Tastes this week, we checked out one of the freshest Mexican restaurants you will find in town. The Ville Taqueria, owned

by Fabian Leon, is a crowd pleaser and I personally go to this hidden gem often. I highly recommend either the pollo asado taco or the chicken fajita style quesadilla. The Ville Taqueria not only makes exceptional food, but they also have a delicious frozen margarita. I am looking forward to many more locations of The Ville Taqueria, but for now I encourage everyone to check out their spot in St. Matthews.

The Healing Place is a world-renowned recovery program for people suffering from the disease of addiction. Addiction not only affects the person using but also everyone around them. I think Louisville is very lucky to have an organization like The Healing Place, which has 600 men and women participating in the long-term recovery program on any given day. While that number is impressive, they had to turn down 300 men last month who were seeking help because they have outgrown their facility. The Healing Place needs the community to help them raise funds to expand their facility to be able to accept more people who are trying to stop abusing drugs and alcohol.

In sports this week, Kent Taylor talked with Chinanu Onuaku about going into his sophomore year as a UofL basketball player and what his new free-throw technique is looking like. Our high school reporter, Randy Whetstone, talked with Dr. Lucas who is the head coach for DuPont Manual’s football team. Dr. Lucas will be stepping down from his position and is looking for a new opportunity to help improve another football program to the next level. Our Kentucky expert, Steve Kaufman, gives us the low down on why UK football isn’t performing so well. He also gives us a glimpse into the Wildcat basketball season and predicts how the players will perform. John Asher, track expert, gives us some insight on fillies and if they will make it to the Derby. Lastly, Mike Rutherford talks of his excitement for the UofL game against Samford this Friday.

There could be many more stories like Jay Bellucci’s if The Healing Place was able to raise the money they needed. Now four years sober and managing the kitchen at Vincenzo’s, Bellucci is living his dream thanks to The Healing Place. More success stories like his can happen if we are

T

ony Stark, the secret identity of Iron Man, was an alcoholic, and Karyn Hascal, president of The Healing Place, has two vintage comic book covers on the wall of her office at 10th and Main illustrating that fact. One, an issue from 1968, blares, “In the morning, Tony Stark will be sober or dead.” The other, from a 1979 series, depicts the hero un-helmeted and disheveled staring into the mirror, a whiskey bottle on his dresser, with the tagline, “Demon in a bottle.” The history of society’s perception of addiction and recovery has always been fascinating to Hascal, and, as president of The Healing Place, she not only must look at the past to affect change but also the present and, most importantly, the future.

The Healing Place, in Hascal’s words is a, “longterm, social model recovery program for people who suffer from the disease of addiction.” What that means is that the facility operates a live-in program that usually lasts eight or nine months for clients seeking to recover from addiction. On any given day, there are 600 men and women participating in the organization’s long-term residential recovery programs.

And these programs are completely free for the clients. The cost of each person per day to The Healing Place is only $25, which is practically unparalleled in the industry. But the client pays none of that, as one of the major goals of The Healing Place is to provide barrier-free service. “When somebody needs help, we want them to be able to get help,” Hascal presents. “And we don’t want insurance, money, legal problems, medical problems, family problems, social problems, employment problems – we don’t want any of those things to be a barrier.”

have that in common. Let’s start there.’”

Recovery at The Healing Place begins with a non-medical detoxification that lasts five to seven days. Clients receive food, clothing, shelter and emotional support as they begin to withdraw from their drug. Following that process, clients move into a residential facility, where they will spend the next several months living in a structured environment that consists of classes, chores and reflection time. In the final stages of the program, The Healing Place helps facilitate the rebuilding of lives for the clients as they move toward leaving the facility.

Although, on the surface, The Healing Place isn’t terribly different from other addiction recovery centers, it is a remarkably successful institution.

Over its 26 years in operation, it’s had staggeringly high success rates that have prompted others to look to it as a model for addiction recovery. “We

“When somebody needs help, we want them to be able to get help.” are very successful,” Hascal maintains. “We’ve been studied by the University of Kentucky Center on Drug and Alcohol Research, and they’ve been doing an outcome study on us for a number of years … The bottom line is that three out of four people who complete our program are sober a year later.”

Though the actual drugs the clients are recovering from range from alcohol to heroin, from cocaine to prescription drugs, The Healing Place focuses on what ties these people together as opposed to what differentiates them. “For us, a rose is a rose is a rose,” asserts Hascal. “It really doesn’t matter what the drug of addiction is.

It does matter in terms of detox for the first few days, but beyond that, what we look at is similarities across that spectrum rather than differences … We kind of say, ‘Everybody’s different. So what.

Guess what? You all found your way here, so you

That kind of number isn’t achieved by luck; it’s the deliberate way The Healing Place constructs its program and culture that makes it truly effective.

“If you took all of the components of our program and stood them up alone, they’d look pretty much like anybody else’s,” Hascal explains. “But I think it’s the way they’re put together and the culture here that really makes us different. When we say that we empower people to make their own choices about recovery, we mean that literally.”

Indeed, Hascal is adamantly against an environment where the leaders dictate courses of action to

F e at u r e

the followers. Instead, The Healing Place works collaboratively with its clients to create treatment plans that feel like joint decisions rather than instructions. “In a lot of programs, the impetus for change comes from the staff. You know, ‘Here’s your treatment plan, and here’s what you need to do for the next six months while you’re here.’ And we don’t do that. We accept people where they are,” she describes.

An additional level of success is brought by those leading the classes – they’re people

When the facility opened 26 years ago, the main clients being treated were alcoholic men, aged 45-50. Now, the primary age range treated is men and women 18-30 with heroin problems. who have recently emerged from The Healing Place’s program and are now relaying what they learned to others. “This program is about one alcoholic or addict reaching out to help another, from the bottom up rather than the top down,” Hascal describes. “If somebody who was in your bed eight or nine months ago is saying, ‘Here’s what worked for me’ – automatic credibility.”

As of late, however, The Healing Place has had to slightly alter its model. When the facility opened 26 years ago, the main clients being treated were alcoholic men, aged 45-50. Now, the primary age range treated is men and women 18-30 with heroin problems. And the same exact methods don’t work on an 18-yearold as they do on a 50-year-old.

But Hascal and her team have found a way to reach the younger clients and are seeing genuine results. “One of the strategies that works well with that population is to keep them challenged and give them small goals to accomplish so they can see improvement,” she details.

“When they’re ‘out in the madness’ – what we say when they’re out using drugs – they see a lot N O V E M B E R 1 2 , 2 0 1 5 • W W W . V O I C E -T R I B U N E . C O M

of failure. So here, they can see success.”

And success starts bright and early. Residents at The Healing Place are expected to get up at about 5:30 or 6 a.m. and proceed to breakfast only after making sure their personal space is neat and tidy. Throughout the day, clients attend various classes related to the study of the disease of addiction and recovery. They study the 12-step program of their particular drug

10

and learn how to most realistically move forward with their lives without that drug.

While living at The Healing Place, everyone has a chore they are responsible for completing – in the kitchen, with security, in maintenance, or elsewhere. “Everybody has something to do to contribute, and they don’t get paid for that; it’s part of the therapeutic milieu,” Hascal affirms. “And not only do they have a chore but

F e at u r e

they are held accountable for that chore.”

The clients’ “workday” ends at 4:30 or 5 p.m., and after dinner, they attend an actual 12-step meeting. By structuring the day like a true workday in the real world, The Healing Place starts, from the first stages, acquainting clients with a structure. The hope is that the clients’ lives, once they leave the facility, will follow this same sort of routine and, moreover, that they will be able to stick to this routine.

This aspect of the recovery is especially difficult to impart to the younger clients, who make up the large majority of the population. But Hascal simply sees this difficulty as an opportunity to shape them into responsible young men and women who are positively functioning members of society. “A lot of people call us a rehab, but rehabilitation implies that you had a job and a family and a lifestyle and you need to be returned to that lifestyle,” she explains. “But

when you come to us and you’re 18 or 20 years old, it’s not rehabilitation; it’s habilitation. So we teach people not a specific skill but how to work, how to live in a structure.”

Currently, what’s most affecting the population of The Healing Place is the heroin problem that has been developing in the community over the last several years. “It’s exploded,” Hascal states. “It has absolutely exploded. I’ve been working in the addiction field for almost 40 years, and I’ve never seen anything explode like heroin has.” Indeed, Hascal contends that five years ago, less than one percent of clients admitted to detox were reporting a heroin issue.

Now, that number is 95 percent.

The belief among Hascal and others is that the 2012 state legislation commonly referred to as the “Pill Mill Bill” – which was passed to tighten access to prescription drugs in Kentucky – has had an unintended consequence of lead-

11

ing to an upsurge in heroin usage. “Addicts are going to use,” she asserts. “If you are addicted to something and you are going to become physically very ill when you stop using that, you’re going to find something that’s going to avoid that illness. You’re just going to do that.

You are compelled to do that. It becomes your only thing in life.”

Accordingly, when pills were made less available three years ago, heroine use dramatically increased. Due to its high-grade, low-cost, user-friendly nature, it became an easy replacement for pills. “If I pulled six clients off the sidewalk out in front of this building and asked them how they got started on heroin, they would all say they got started on prescription drugs,” Hascal affirms. And what’s worse is that with heroin comes the added risks of shared needle usage. “A lot of people don’t start by using heroin intravenously,” she explains. “They W W W . V O I C E -T R I B U N E .

But going after “the heroin problem” facing Kentucky isn’t really the right course of action, Hascal describes. Yes, policy must be put in place and the availability must be addressed, but what lawmakers must look at is the overarching problem facing the community. “By chasing the drug of the day, we always end up in the same place,” she laments.

“What we have consistently across the board is the disease of addiction. So if we begin to look at the public health epidemic that we are faced with and begin to see it that way as opposed to just a ‘heroin problem’ or a ‘meth problem’ and we begin to address the disease of addiction – only then will we really be able to see change. And we’re not there yet.”

Another very real problem that The Healing Place is actively seeking to overcome right now is overcrowding. While the women’s campus is managing fairly well in terms of population, the men’s campus is a different story. Last month alone, due to lack of space, the facility had to turn away 300 men seeking help. Hascal says, in fact, that some days, they have to turn away 15-20 men before it’s even 9 o’clock in the morning. And all night, there are constantly men waiting outside detox, hoping

RENDERINGS COURTESY OF THE HEALING PLACE

for a bed to become available so that they may begin their recovery. “It is horrible – I mean, it is horrible – to have to turn away people,” she emphasizes, her voice shaking.

While The Healing Place is always in need of material donations – from toothbrushes to

socks, they need everything except furniture and electronics – what they are really pursuing from the community right now is financial support. They are in the midst of a $24 million capital campaign to nearly double their capacity for men. In a project that will take 24 months to complete, they will raise the men’s capacity from 250 to 425 and more than double the size of detox. “We literally need as much help from the community as we can muster,” Has-

13

cal urges. “And it doesn’t have to be huge donations – every donation is significant, regardless of size.”

The Healing Place is without question doing work that is not only meaningful but literally life-changing. And the people they are helping aren’t faraway figures like Iron Man – they are our neighbors, our co-workers, our friends.

When someone has an addiction, that addiction impacts eight surrounding people in the community; it’s a far-reaching problem and one The Healing Place is seeking to combat. But they are unable to begin this very necessary expansion until the $24 million goal is reached.

The Healing Place has raised $6 million in the campaign and needs Louisville’s support now more than ever. For, as Hascal relates, even taking one day more to begin the expansion could be the difference between life and death. “We really are in need of some major support right now because this community needs the expansion now … And sometimes, sitting here in this chair in my office, every day that we delay feels like another missed opportunity, a missed opportunity to help someone who may not live to make it to detox.” VT To learn more about The Healing Place and find out how you can contribute visit thehealingplace.org or call 502.585.4848.

start smoking or snorting heroin … Nearly all the men, again, pull six random guys, ask them if they’ve ever used heroin IV, and they’ll say yes. And without fail, they’ll say, ‘That was the one thing I said I would never do. I would never use a needle. And three months later, I was using a needle.’”

very day while he was in recovery at The Healing Place, Jay Bellucci would walk

by Vincenzo’s Italian Restaurant. Dealing with an alcohol and prescription drug problem, he would dream of the day he could work in that famed Italian kitchen. Now, four years later, he has kicked his addictions and manages that very kitchen under Executive Chef Agostino Gabriele.

Bellucci wasn’t doing well when he arrived at The Healing Place. He was drinking all day every day, abusing prescription pills and continuously getting kicked out of his parents’ house. But beneath his addictions was a man who wanted to change. “Eventually, I don’t know what happened, but I’d had enough and I finally asked for help,” he recalls. “And that’s how I ended up here.”

When he checked in, he didn’t even know where he was. His father brought him to The Healing Place, and from there, Bellucci was on his own. “The first couple of days I was here, I didn’t know what this place was called,” he admits. “I had no idea. I just knew this was a place where I couldn’t drink or use drugs, and I didn’t have anywhere else to go so I was here.”

Bellucci describes himself as having started his treatment with a closed mind, believing there was no chance of recovery and that he was doomed forever to live a life clouded by substance abuse. “I think I was close-minded just because I didn’t think there was any hope for me,” he recounts. “I didn’t think there was any other way for me to live. But seeing the other people – that was the inspiration to me at first. That let me know that I could do it too.”

And do it he did. He remembers the reality check that hit him his first day in detox: “Everybody was very friendly. Having said that, it wasn’t exactly posh. If you’re in the detox facility, you’re sharing pretty much a bedroom with 23 other people. There’re little dividers, but it’s not exactly pleasant. But that’s part of it; it brings you down to earth.”

However difficult it may have been to adjust to life inside The Healing Place, Bellucci contends that he never truly felt like giving up or that he couldn’t do it; although, he does relate

that when those thoughts would enter his mind, they weren’t hard to resolve. “If at any time [I considered giving up], there were so many people around me who would encourage me. Their encouragement would keep me from running away.”

He stuck with it and spent eight months in The Healing Place’s residential program before signing on for another eight months as a peer mentor, a position that allowed him to facilitate classes and aid in the recovery of others. When he finally emerged from the facility, 16 months after his dad dropped him off, facing the real world again was, understandably, intimidating.

around alcohol on a daily basis, he maintains that he remains disinterested in drinking. “I don’t want to drink because I know where it will take me,” he says stoically.

Looking at where he is and where he’s been, Bellucci credits The Healing Place as being instrumental in shaping him into the person he is today and asserts that he never could have risen into his position without the tools he gained while there. “It’s kind of like my wildest dreams are coming true,” he muses. “I always wanted to do what I’m doing now, and, had I not found the solution to my drinking and drug use, this never would have happened.” VT

“It was a little scary,” he recounts.

“Because spending so much time here, it’s like, ‘Okay, now go live life on life’s terms.’” And what that meant to him was chasing his dream, which started with applying to work at Vincenzo’s. He was turned down. And then turned down again. Finally, the general manager gave him a job as a busser, which he accepted with gratitude.

“And from there, I managed to work my way into the kitchen doing salad and dessert, then working on the line, and now I’m managing the kitchen under the executive chef,” he explains of his career at Vincenzo’s. And even though he works

“It’s an art form that is starting to die,” he says. “… No one wants to do it anymore.

There’s too much work involved, and it takes time to do things. And a lot of people don’t understand how much work really goes into making a fur coat.”

The fur buyer was right. The work fit John so well, in fact, that he dropped out of drafting school to pursue it.

Indeed, Steve explains, it can take a full year to turn the fur of a freshly trapped mink, beaver or fox into a finished coat.

As far as the Seelyes know, there’s no one else doing it in Kentucky. Customers come from around the state – and even from as far as Texas – to have them work on their furs.

John didn’t want his son to feel tied to the business, so he encouraged him to go out and find a different job. Steve tried his hand at picture framing, audio/video work and even a pizza place, but the artistic element of furriery drew him back.

“The other jobs were fine too, and they were alright, but I just like creating,” he says. “I’ve always created stuff since I was a little kid. And that’s what I like to do. It’s neat to see something, as you’re building it, start to take shape and take form.”

He recently finished working on a vest made of bison fur and decked with mule deer rosettes as buttons.

“I consider myself an artist,” he says.

Steve has developed his own cleaning product for furs. He’s also ventured into leatherwork, another vintage craft that takes timeworn tools and plenty of patience. By hand, he carves custom designs into gun holsters and accordion straps. He advertises on Facebook and sells them on eBay, where his work is in incessant demand.

VENTURE FIRST TAILORS FINANCIAL SERVICES TO ENTREPRENEURS Louisville-based financial advisory group, Venture First, has been open for business since 2009, but its new name, expanded team and enhanced list of services is what’s got business owners and venture capitalists talking. Unlike many financial advisory firms, Venture First focuses on start-ups and venture investors in an effort to empower the entrepreneurial community at all levels of business.

Originally named ValuLogik, CEO John Shumate explains that the initial purpose of the company was to provide valuation work to the technology industry. But he noticed a need in the financial market to provide a more robust suite of services to growing companies and their investors. So in 2015, he and his team members changed their company’s name to ‘Venture First’ and expanded its repertoire of services in order to better convey his team’s commitment to serving entrepreneurs and their supporters.

UOFL AGAIN EARNS DISTINCTION AS A MILITARY FRIENDLY SCHOOL The University of Louisville has been named a Military Friendly School for 2016, marking the seventh year in a row the university has earned the distinction. Victory Media Inc., a publishing company formed to help military veterans move to the civilian workforce, announced on November 5 the names of U.S. colleges that made the list. The designation is based on factors that include academic credibility, support on campus, admissions and orientation, graduation and retention rates, military student body composition and career outcomes.

The publishing company said UofL helps veterans and their families make a smooth transition from military to student life, provides support to determine federal and state education benefits, advocates for maximum transfer credits and assists with withdrawals/readmissions due to deployment or active duty service.

UofL also earned kudos for its free job counseling, discounted childcare, online courses, career assistance and online learning programs.

Her great aunt was Sallie Aley Hert, widow of creosote magnate A.T. Hert, a Republican Party leader, creator of Hurstbourne Farms and founder of the American Creosoting Company.

Mrs. Few graduated from The Hewitt School, formerly Miss Hewitt’s Classes, in New York City and Sarah Lawrence College. She attended graduate studies in Paris in 1960-61 through Sarah Lawrence, pursuing work with individual Sorbonne professors in 17th—19th century French culture and literature.

In 1968, she married Benjamin F. Few, Jr., of New York City and Southport, Conn. Mr. Few formerly was a senior vice president of Liberty Bank & Trust Co. in Louisville. They spent a six-week honeymoon in Rhodesia and Botswana on safari, terminating their journey in London.

Over her 28 years of work she founded and chaired the Decorative Arts Collectors. Also, she led New Collectors and Charter Collectors for years after reorganizing the latter on the model of the National Gallery of Art Collectors.

Mrs. Few was formerly an associate member of the River Valley Club. She was also a former member of the River Club and Colony Club, both in New York City.

do? Bowl eligibility is fine, but what about a three-game losing streak in which you’ve been dominated, manhandled and outscored 120-41? How do you begin to turn that around?

Catnip STEVE KAUFMAN

One team had lost its best running back and, without much from a quarterback who started the season so promisingly, figured out a winning offense, at least for the week.

The other team . . .

Look, there are people who really can understand and analyze how football teams function and malfunction. There must be an explanation for how such a promising roster, promising recruits and a promising beginning can just fall apart – for the second season in a row.

Three games to go. What will this team N O V E M B E R 1 2 , 2 0 1 5 • W W W . V O I C E -T R I B U N E . C O M

They’re making the kinds of, well, dumb mistakes that should be worked out by the second or third week. How do you go offsides on a kickoff?

But attention always turns to the quarterback, and so it has been the case here. Patrick Towles has not been good, but neither has most of this Kentucky outfit in the last few weeks. Is this the time to suddenly pull the chain, when so much is riding on a couple of wins? Or is this exactly the time?

A lot of quarterbacks this season – all over the place, bad teams and good – have been run in and out by impatient coaches. College coaches once stood by their choice of quarterbacks as a sign of their decisiveness, judg-

22

ment and manhood. Now it seems it’s up for grabs, week to week.

So maybe Towles has been given a longer time period than some others. And while I’ve not been a big defender of the junior quarterback’s play this season, Kentucky knows what it has with him.

Towles has said a lot of the right things, such as “all I want to do is win. If I’m not the guy to get it done, let’s find the guy who is.” I might be paraphrasing, but in any case, I don’t believe him. No player ever thinks there’s someone better than him, especially at the high-attention, high-ego quarterback position.

But what do the other players think, the ones who are there in the closed practices, in the locker room and in their dorm rooms together? Will it divide and break this already shaky team irreparably? Will Drew Barker inherit an impossible situation, sort of like handing him the ball on his own seven, slapping him on the behind and telling him, “Go make a play, big guy!”

Sports Kentucky QB Patrick Towles had only 101 net passing yards against Georgia.

So I have a lot of questions. And the answers can come from only one source. It’s what Mark Stoops was brought to Lexington to handle.

For the second year in a row, “bowl eligibility” is the goal. So however the delicate clubhouse decisions are addressed, the one thing remaining to be said is “go get it!”

At the end of the season, 7-5 and everyone forgets the in-between.

DEPTH TRAP In the meantime, attention and hopes turn to basketball. Kentucky has played a couple of exhibition games and is about to open a particularly challenging non-conference schedule: Duke, UCLA, Arizona State and Ohio State, as well as the usual holiday street fight with Louisville and a much tougher SEC than in recent years. For once, Florida is not the lone road bump on the Cats’ conference schedule.

So what have the exhibition games told us? That there’s a lot to be hopeful about but not without some questions.

As he almost always does, John Calipari has orchestrated these questions with the skill of a Lincoln Center master conductor. His current theme has to do with playing minutes, and who will be willing to sacrifice his playing time to whom.

Kentucky newcomers Mychal Mulder, Jamal Murray, Isaac Humphries, Skal Labissiere, Isaish Briscoe, Charles Matthews.

Forgetting the fact that sometimes Tyler Ulis or Jamal Murray or Skal Labissiere will have to come out – foul trouble, say, or fatigue – there’s still a finite amount of available time and a coach who generally prefers to use just two men off the bench.

So if Alex Poythress, Skal, Murray, Ulis and Isaiah Briscoe start, then who are those two extras? The early presumption is Lee and Charles Matthews.

But Mychal Mulder can shoot. Derek Willis can also shoot, and he’s big. Dominique Hawkins can be a bulldog on defense. Isaac Humphries is the only other true post-up. E.J. Floreal may be the best athlete on the team. How do those guys earn their minutes? (Freethrow shooting at the end of games may become a key!)

If depth is the problem, though, 13 other SEC coaches are saying, “I’ll have what Calipari is having.” VT PHOTOS BY VICTORIA GRAFF | CONTRIBUTING PHOTOGRAPHER

Dumervil Honored Against Syracuse

F

ormer University of Louisville football standout defensive end and current Baltimore Ravens’ outside linebacker Elvis Dumervil was honored at Saturday’s home game against Syracuse.

Dumervil, who played for the Cardinals from 2002-05, spent four seasons as a defensive end and led the team in sacks in 2004-05 and was named the school’s first winner of the Bronko Nagurski Award for being the top defensive player in the country.

A native of Miami, Fla., Dumervil had one of the most dominating seasons in school history in 2005 in leading the Cardinals in their first season in the BIG EAST Conference and an appearance in the Gator Bowl. That year, he set numerous NCAA records and school marks, including a Division I record with 10 forced fumbles. He also compiled 20.0 sacks, with an NCAA-best six against Kentucky.

Dumervil, who is joining 19 other Cardinal greats distinguished in Papa John’s Cardinal Stadium, was a first-team all-BIG EAST honoree in 2005 in addition to securing league defensive player of the year honors and the Ted Hendricks Award as the nation’s top defensive end.

He also was a finalist for the Lombardi Award.

A product of Miami Jackson High, Dumervil concluded his career with 32.0 sacks, which stands second all-time in school history and 42.5 tackles for loss, which sits third all-time.

He finished with 151 career tackles and 11 forced fumbles during his stellar career under the direction of John L. Smith (2002) and current head coach Bobby Petrino.

tiple-sack games. While in Denver, he earned the Darrent Williams Good Guy Award from the state’s media.

In becoming the 20th honored jersey, Dumervil joins former Cardinal quarterback Johnny Unitas, whose No. 16 jersey is the only retired number at the University and unavailable for future Cardinals to wear.

“Elvis could really rush the passer,” Petrino said. “He is one of my all-time favorite players because he played with such high energy and always had a big smile on his face. His 2005 season was one of the greatest seasons I’ve ever witnessed in coaching, and he is so deserving of this tremendous honor.”

Following his collegiate career, Dumervil was taken in the NFL Draft’s fourth round with the 126th pick by the Denver Broncos.

Competing in his 10th season in the professional ranks, Dumervil is a four-time Pro Bowler (2009, 2011-12 and 2014) and a two-time Associated Press All-Pro selection (2009 and 2014). The 2014 season with the Ravens was one of his best, establishing a Ravens’ franchise-record with a career-high tying 17 sacks, which was third in the NFL. He also totaled 17 sacks with Denver in 2009 when he was named a starter in the Pro Bowl and tallied seven mul-

Louisville sophomore QB Kyle Bolin set a career high with 24 completions and matched a career high with three touchdowns against Syracuse on Saturday. Bolin finished the game with 362 yards, producing the most passing yards for a Louisville quarterback this season.

For the Love of the Cards

Sports

Onuaku on Gold and the Granny Shot Chinanu Onuaku started 26 games as a freshman at UofL. The 6'10" center averaged 3.0 points and 4.6 rebounds and blocked 1.2 shots a game, good for ninth in the Atlantic Coast Conference. After winning a gold medal playing for the USA U19 World Championship team his expectations are sky high heading into his sophomore season. Last year he hit just 46.7% of his free throws (14-30), which prompted Cards coach Rick Pitino to encourage Onuaku to switch up his form, opting to go with the underhand shot.

What did you learn this summer in the World University games?

I learned a lot. That I could help a team in many different ways. It was just a good time, learning from a different coach and learning what he expects me to do for a team.

Did it do anything for your confidence?

are expected to do?

Taylor’s 10 KENT TAYLOR

Last year we had four scorers on the court. We had four people that dominated the offense and the defense. This year I'm going to have to do more scoring, more rebounding, more blocked shots. Tell the freshman what to do on offense and direct them what to do on defense too.

WAVE3 Sports

Yeah, it gave me a lot of confidence. After my freshman year I didn't have like a really good freshman year. Doing that gives me a lot of confidence heading into this year.

What is different about what Coach Pitino expects from you this season?

Now I have more of a role on the team. People expect me to do more this year.

What in particular do you feel like you N O V E M B E R 1 2 , 2 0 1 5 • W W W . V O I C E -T R I B U N E . C O M

Is it fair to say that when you get the ball in the low post now, you're thinking score and more capable of doing that?

Yes, I've been working on a lot of my offensive game this summer.

Do you feel like if someone comes into the lane, it's your job to block the shot?

That's what coach wants all the big men to do. He wants to be the leading blocked shot team in the country.

26

How did the new free throw form come about?

Coach P just called me into his office one day and he showed me a video of Rick Barry and he said he wanted me to shoot it like that. He said that if I can make 70 or 80%, that would get me paid. So that's what I want to do, I want to get paid.

Had you ever heard of Rick Barry?

Yeah, I had heard of Rick Barry, but I didn't know he was the one that shot those free throws.

Is it easier?

Yeah I think it's easier, because you're trying to just put the ball in the basket.

What was the reaction from some of your teammates this summer?

They thought I was playing around. VT

So if the Derby seems to offer some kind of edge to those who seem to deserve a bit of magic on the first Saturday in May, Porter and Hollendorfer might have more than a wonderfully talented filly working towards the road to the roses in 2016.

While those horses are clear leaders toward next spring’s Kentucky Derby and Oaks, we have seen several eye-catching performances in the early days of Churchill Downs’ Fall Meet that have stirred thoughts of good things to come.

Mike Rutherford’s homebred Stageplay has the look of something special after the Steve Asmussen-trained filly won the Rags to Riches on opening day and now looks toward the Grade II Golden Rod on “Stars of Tomorrow II” day on the penultimate day of the meet.

We wanted to wins and 24 losses, make ourself visible. Manual was including two seasons of 9-3 an afterthought when it came to athletic competition at every level. records in 2011 and 2013.

In spite of the success during his tenure, he believes he has reached the apex at Manual. “I got to thinking, ‘I can’t go any higher at Manual’. I have reached the ceiling, just because Manual is a unique situation with its cap space. It is what it is, and that is not meant as negative or positive. I have to constantly feel challenged. … I feel like I have done as much as I can do at Manual.

I just need to operate where the ceiling is not right at my head, so I can keep pushing the envelope and take it a place where it needs to be.”

Dr. Lucas cultivated the football program in many ways. Manual has always been seen as a great place to get a good education, but Lucas wanted to add sports to that recognition.

“I am a person that likes to build programs. I like to go in to places that have a need, and be a person that can motivate and draw kids out. I’ve done a lot of things that were pretty significant [at Manual]. I took the program from where it was and took it higher. I improved the facilities and even the rich tradition. And now, Manual is thought about as one of the top football programs in the state.”

When he came in as coach, he had a goal to present the football program as one that not only had excellent students, but also a place where student-athletes felt confiPHOTO COURTESY OF GEORGE WILLIAMS

… [Now] Manual is a school that kids think of not only academically, but as a place that they want to go to compete athletically as well.”

When Lucas steps away from the helm, he will reminisce on those players who came through his program who truly submitted under his coaching and philosophy. That is what he loved most coaching at Manual.

“It is always for the kids,” he said. “Anywhere I go, I try to make sure my kids have an advantage to go on and be successful.

All my contacts allow the kids to have an edge up as long as they do the things they need to do, which are to play hard and have good film. Those that have gone on to college and embody all that I would want to represent the school as a student-athlete truly make me proud.”

Lucas wanted to make the statement of stepping down now so that the school has enough time to find another coach. But Lucas still has the desire to coach in the state of Kentucky. “I feel like this is the time where it makes me available now. I truly do want to continue to coach–there are things I need to get done in the state of Kentucky. I look forward to the unique opportunity to provide what I offer, if someone is looking for that. If you want your program to improve to the next level, and for the numbers to grow, I think I am the person you want to hire.” VT

Talking Trees of the Bluegrass

ost everybody knows who Cindi Sullivan is.

With her long flowing red hair, happy smile and cheerful disposition she is the jolliest horticulturist in town. One of her special secrets is that her husband Steve is just as much fun to know.

Partyline CARLA SUE BROECKER

They live in a wonderful home on Cherokee Road. The house is enormous and perhaps wonderful should have been spelled out in all caps. It overlooks Cherokee Park and must be a joy for all seasons along with being a handful to take care of.

Anyhow, last week they used their home to host a party to celebrate the publication of an unusual book, Venerable Trees, authored by their friend Tom Kimmerer. Venerable Trees, Inc. is a new organization with the mission to “conserve the ancient trees of the Kentucky Bluegrass through outreach, publications, education, and research, and to promote the planting of native trees in the urban and agricultural landscapes of the Bluegrass.”

His talk focused on the woodland pasture of Kentucky’s central bluegrass and five specific trees contained in it – namely bur oaks, chinkapin oaks, shumard oaks, blue ash, and kingnut hickories.

Enormous examples of these five trees make up the subject of his book and the reasons that they should be protected and respected. His respect for them and the need to take care of them is almost religious. Even if you are not a tree hugger, you will be glad if you own and read this book which is published by University Press of Kentucky.

Those at the party who enjoyed the talk and the fine comestibles served by Farm to Fork caterers (the meat-

WALDEN Walden School was founded on the LaGrange Road campus of the old Kentucky Military Institute by Dr. Ed Vermillion in 1975. A big red-headed bear of a man with just as big a heart for education, his vision for Walden was special from the very beginning. His outreach to attract students allowed him to put together a wonderful student body that embodied an atmosphere in keeping with Henry David Thoreau feelings to students to “Go confidently in the direction of your dreams. Live the life you’ve imagined.”

Over the years the school migrated to a larger campus on Westport Road near Hubbards Lane.

Now in its 40th year, like most very special schools, it recognized it needed to find ways to raise revenue over and above tuition. As the board says to anyone who will listen, all independent schools rely on the generosity of parents, faculty, trustees, alumni, grandparents, former parents and friends to provide the outstanding education each student deserves.

The happy hosts Steve and Cindi Sullivan.

Woman’s Male Roommate Wants To Be Friends With No Benefits

DEAR ABBY: I am a divorcee with a problem. My longtime friend "Paul" and I decided to move in together so I could save some money because of my very expensive divorce. The problem is, I think I am falling for him, and I get really jealous when he brings dates home.

Dear Abby

Christmas, Easter or Fourth of July celebrations, I'm assuming the answer is no. If that's true, then from my perspective you're at least 12 years overdue for a break. Your sisters and sisters-in-law should have stepped up to the plate and shared the responsibilities you have shouldered alone after your mother passed away, if not before. Shame on them.

When I told him I'm starting to JEANNE have feelings for him, he said he cares PHILLIPS for me, but not in that way. How can ••• I keep my jealousy in check so I don't DEAR ABBY: I’d like to know if there’s any ruin a good friendship? -- OVER THE LINE IN way to stop my mother-in-law from inviting UTAH herself to every birthday party and graduation DEAR OVER THE LINE: I'm going to take a risk and make a generalization, because there is much truth to it. When couples divorce, one or both partners' self-esteem often takes a huge hit.

People often feel vulnerable and in need of someone to love them, make them feel attractive, be a partner to them, etc. Could this be you? Might this have something to do with your resentment of the women Paul is seeing?

Your friend has been no more than a supportive friend at a time when you needed one. If you can't accept it for what it is, then for your own emotional health find another place to live because, even if you're saving money, this arrangement is too expensive.

••• DEAR ABBY: I have been cooking Thanksgiving dinner for our family since I was in my mid-20s, with little or no assistance from my sisters or sisters-in-law. They typically show up empty-handed but leave with a generous amount of leftovers. Before my mother passed away 12 years ago, she would at least help.

Since my children and their families live out of state and are unable to come this year, I told one of my sisters-in-law I wouldn't be hosting Thanksgiving this year. Abby, she had a complete hissy fit! She insisted it was "tradition" that we have Thanksgiving at my house, and it's something everyone looks forward to. She even said it's not like I don't have the time since I retired this year.

Yes, I have tried delegating. One year, a sister brought a dessert (cookies in a tin) and the other a bag of rolls. Neither one has ever worked outside the home. I'm tired of cooking for two or three days to feed 15 to 20 people. Am I wrong in wanting a break from doing it all? -- I'M DONE IN FLORIDA DEAR "DONE": No. You have a right to spend your Thanksgiving any way you wish. Because you didn't mention whether your siblings host

our children have. They are pre-teen and teenagers now. She has done this for years, and it often doesn’t end well. Because they are older, they prefer to hang out with their friends, do sleepovers, etc.

Because she insists on staying the night, it’s hard to have room for sleepovers. She complains if she has to sleep on the couch, and she also has a fit if she’s not getting enough attention from the kids because they’d rather be with their friends and not her the whole time.

I have tried explaining that she should come the weekend before or after, but she shows up on the birthday anyway. Her complaints ruin their birthdays, to the point that I no longer look forward to them. Any advice, since another birthday is right around the corner? (Maybe she’ll read this and have a change of heart.) -- MISERABLE MOM IN CALIFORNIA DEAR MISERABLE MOM: Your mother-inlaw sounds like a handful. However, I do believe that grandparents should be invited to milestones like graduations, where family is important.

It’s hard to imagine Grandma would simply show up at the kids’ party after being asked to stay away, but you can’t slam the door in her face.

When she barges in, for your own sake tune her complaining out. Walk away if you must. As to altering the sleeping arrangements to suit an uninvited guest -- don’t do it.

Where is your husband in all of this? She’s his mother; if you can’t make her see reason, then he should. It’s normal for teens to want to celebrate with their contemporaries -- and Grandma had better get used to it before they turn tail and run whenever they see her coming.

Festival of Trees & Lights

For the 26th time, Kosair Children’s Hospital is bringing Louisville the Festival of Tress & Lights at Slugger Field November 13-15. A beloved holiday tradition, the event is at once a delightful family activity and a way to support a great cause. To talk details, we chatted with Norton Healthcare Chief Development Officer Lynnie Meyer, MSN, RN, CFRE. What is the Festival of Trees and Lights?

The Festival of Trees & Lights is a threeday family-friendly holiday event presented by Republic Bank. It features children’s activities, entertainment and hundreds of Christmas trees, wreaths and handcrafted holiday items decorated by local artists. The lights area features a special display of menorahs and dreidels presented by local Jewish congregations. All items are available for purchase to raise funds for Kosair Children’s Hospital through the Children’s Hospital Foundation – specifically cardiovascular services this year.

What can guests expect at the event?

tricular assist device implantation and heart transplantation. A new program even addresses adult congenital heart disease, an area of growing need. Ticket sales and the purchase of items at the Festival of Trees & Lights directly support Kosair Children’s Hospital. Coupled with these and sponsorships from businesses such as Republic Bank, Delta Dental, Qdoba, Meijer and Papa John’s, the festival will help enhance cardiovascular services with the latest stateof-the art technology, specialists to meet the demands of a growing population of children with heart issues and the addition of a dedicated pediatric cardiac critical care unit to provide optimal care for patients with complicated nonsurgical conditions.

Guests can expect a holiday wonderland perfect for a family outing. Children can participate in free activities presented by Qdoba that include building gingerbread houses, making reindeer antlers and candy crafts, and taking pictures with Santa presented by Meijer. The lights area will have dreidel and gilt (chocolate coin) giveaways. To get inspired for holiday decorating, eight holiday vignettes with different themes will be on display, designed especially for the Festival of Trees & Lights by area designers. For more fun, there will be a skating rink, free entertainment, a sweet shop, a gift shop and a large model train display.

This event gives families from throughout the community an opportunity to do something fun together and help a charitable cause that is so important to children. It’s also a way to get in the holiday spirit and get decorating ideas.

Do you have any hopes for the event to grow in the years to come?

The Festival of Trees & Lights is now in its 26th year, and there are so many families that have made it an annual tradition. The dedicated group of volunteers running this event are constantly looking at ways to keep the event fresh yet traditional from year to year. As far as growth, we know that the more designers we have creating trees and other items, the more sponsors we have, and the more people coming out to the event every year, we can provide even more support Kosair Children’s Hospital.

How can people get involved with the event?

There is a committee that plans the event nearly year-round. In August, the Children’s Hospital Foundation looks for designers to donate their time and talent to decorate trees ranging in height from 2- to 7-feet, wreaths of several sizes and greenery. Hundreds of volunteers are also needed to assist during the event itself. People can sign up for the weekend events or learn about joining the committee at kosairchildrenshospital.com/pages/fotlvolunteers.aspx. Of course, the easiest way people can get involved is to come to the event and purchase an item. VT

How does the event benefit Kosair Children’s Hospital?

Heart conditions in children are not only life-threatening but extremely complex. A full range of cardiovascular services for children with congenital and acquired heart conditions is available at Kosair Children’s Hospital, including diagnostic testing, specialized pediatric cardiac catheterization procedures and surgery such as venN O V E M B E R 1 2 , 2 0 1 5 • W W W .

Jake Boyd of Wicked

Jake Boyd grew up doing theatre through high school and in the community before receiving his degree from the University of Alabama. In August, Boyd joined the touring cast of the Broadway phenomenon “Wicked” as Fiyero, the center of the love triangle between Glinda and Elphaba. “Wicked” tells the story of the witches of Oz before they become Glinda the Good and the Wicked Witch of the West represented in “The Wizard of Oz.” “Wicked” will be playing at The Kentucky Center for the Performing Arts November 18-December 6. We chatted with Boyd about the show, his character and the infamous white pants.

Norbert Leo Butz originated Fiyero in “Wicked,” and a myriad of the the best men of Broadway have played the role in their career. Do you ever feel pressured to live up to their work?

Madame Morrible are standing on the platform in Oz and are kind of having this televised interview, C-SPAN sort of thing. There are just so many layers to that. And even this far into the show, it’s a challenge for me to find the right balance in that moment of keeping your cool and calm and meanwhile telling this story because you’re standing in front of all of these people at this press conference. And then there’s also, “I’m really angry at you, Glinda.” It’s just all so layered.

You know, not really. And I don’t say that with any kind of conceit because they are amazing performers. But I also think everybody is different. I couldn’t perform their shows even if I wanted to because I’m not them. I think what makes people want to come back to this show is all these Elphabas over time and all these Glindas and all these Fiyeros. They’ve all been really amazing performers in and of themselves, and they all bring something different to the role. And in essence, we tell the same story, but all of us get to bring a little piece of ourselves to it.

And that’s what makes it so interesting.

Fiyero has a pretty serious character arc throughout the show. How do you navigate portraying that when the stage is usually occupied by your female costars?

For me, there are a couple of moments I found when I was researching my show that are integral to me to move this character forward. And I like to find these moments in a scene with these characters. I like to have something tangible, in the scene that I feel is a spark to start change … There’s one at the top of act two where we’re doing this press conference and Madame Morrible is talking to Glinda and explaining how she became Glinda the Good. “The day you were first summoned to an audience with Oz…” and he leans over and is like, “That’s not how you described it to me.” It’s like, I’ve seen Glinda fall into this path – like, you are letting them totally ruin the reputation and ruin the life of your best friend!

One of the great things about “Wicked” is that it appeals to people of every age. Why do you think that is?

COURTESY PHOTO

When did it really hit you that you are in “Wicked,” a modern classic and one of the most popular musicals of all-time?

The show is certainly a cultural phenomenon. I think what makes it so iconic is that you can see yourself in these people. I mean, everybody knows the story of “The Wizard of Oz,” but this story isn’t about “The Wizard of Oz” – it’s about these two women and their journey. I think everyone at some point in their life has felt like an outcast. I think at a certain point, everyone has made fun of someone and then felt bad. And in the show, you can see this journey with these two women and you go on it with them from the beginning to the end. So when they get to “For Good,” you’re there with them and you’re invested and it breaks your heart a little bit.

There was so much to learn and do and think about, so when I was going into the show, it really wasn’t then. It was mostly when I had people who were talking to me and were like, “Oh my gosh, I can’t believe that you’re in ‘Wicked!’ You’re Fiyero in ‘Wicked’!”

And I was like, “Yeah. Yeah! Right!

This is really incredible!” But maybe a week into my performances, I finally was like, “I cannot believe I get to do this.”

Because up to that point, I was constantly, “Where do I go? What is my line?”

Last question, I have to ask since I was Fiyero for Halloween – One of the most iconic aspects of “Wicked” are Fiyero’s skintight white pants in act one. How have those been working out for you?

Do you have a favorite moment in “Wicked” that you get to perform each night?

I love the pants! I did start doing more squats in my workout though! Everyone talked about them and was like, “Yeah, a lot of Fiyeros are known for their backsides!” So I was like, “When in Rome!” But you know, that’s my favorite outfit in the show. Getting to wear the vest and those white pants and the boots, it just gets me feeling like such a prince! VT

I love the top of act two. It’s the song “Thank Goodness,” and Fiyero, Glinda and

Kentucky Entrepreneur Hall of Fame

The Kentucky Entrepreneur Hall of Fame will hold its sixth annual induction ceremony Nov. 18 at Mellwood Art & Entertainment Center. Doors to The Van Gogh event room will open at 5:30 p.m., with cocktails available starting at 6. Dinner and the program will begin at 7. This year’s inductees are George Garvin Brown of Brown-Forman, Phil Greer of Greer Companies, Jim Patterson of Pattco LLC and James Thornton of Thorntons Inc. Founded in Lexington to honor Kentucky’s most successful entrepreneurs, this is the hall of fame’s third induction ceremony in Louisville. A record crowd of about 350 is expected to attend. To find out more about this year’s event, we spoke with event manager Tonya York Dees and hall of fame co-founder Brian Raney, CEO of founding sponsor Awesome Inc. What are you doing differently this year?

YORK DEES: In the past, we did just heavy hors d’oeuvres, and people would pick it up and go to their table, but we’re doing a sit-down dinner this year. … Masterson’s will be catering. And then we’ll have the bar: We’ll be serving Brown-Forman products, because George

Garvin Brown is being inducted into the hall of fame. So we’ll have a lot of great products from them.

What will people miss out on if they miss this event?

YORK DEES: It’s very seldom that you’re ever

going to have such an amazing group of very high-level Kentucky entrepreneurs in one room together that are easily accessible. … Junior Bridgeman will be there. John Y. Brown will be there. George Fischer will be there. Bill Gatton will be there … just (an) unbelievable group of people that have made a huge difference in the commonwealth. Plus, when you look at the four that are being inducted this year, they’re all amazing.

What’s the most important experience this event will offer to burgeoning entrepreneurs?

RANEY: If you want to be inspired to pursue your own definition of “awesome,” whatever that might be – whether it’s starting a company or otherwise – these are people who have all been doing that and living that out their entire lives. So there really isn’t going to be a better place to get to meet and hear from some of the people that have been pursuing their own definition of “awesome,” and that can be a really inspiring thing.

George Garvin Brown.

At Awesome Inc., you help entrepreneurs start their own companies through a shared workspace, education and events like this ceremony. What inspired you to start that company?

Phil Greer.

RANEY: I realized that there’s a pretty big void in the entrepreneurial community and the support for entrepreneurship across the state of Kentucky – not that Kentucky is really alone in this problem; I think it’s something that is an issue in a lot of different communities and a lot of different states. But we wanted to create a place where people who did want to start their own company and wanted to work toward their own dreams through building up a company of their own – we wanted to create a place where they could come and do that alongside other entrepreneurs who were aspiring to be successful.

They have since acquired a diverse congregation, from mixed martial arts enthusiasts to people looking for a good workout.

Monday and Wednesday nights they find invigoration through helping people with this kind of physical education. While Walker’s students follow his lead in learning how

Walker feels that learning to fight has the same importance as learning to swim. “Ultimately we all learn how to swim so we don’t drown. That should also be why we learn how to fight, but at the same time, I don’t like to approach talking people into training self-defense through scare tactics. That drives me crazy.”

The workout was an intense one. My visit to was a lot of work, but it left me feeling significantly enlivened after it was over.

I can’t say that I’m a guy who has experienced many potentially violent encounters in my adult life, but I felt compelled to ask Walker when it’s best to walk away from a fight.

“Anytime you can,” he quickly answered.

“Never fight over property. Someone’s trying to jack my car; that’s what I have insurance for. It depends on the totality of the circumstances, right? What if my kid’s in the back of the car? Then I have to fight. That’s really the line for me.”

“It’s an incredible workout. People who need to shed some pounds have a tremendous amount of luck here. Then you’ve got the kind of people who, whether they’re interested in self defense, self protection or group protection, tend to gravitate to classes like this. Other than that, it’s just the folks that all of those people trick into trying our class and end up loving it.”

In such short time, Walker already seems to have something good coming together in this city. “We try to make it as accessible and fun as we can,” he says. “We can be serious about it when we walk out this door and understand that we may have to use it in a violent encounter. We talk about violence in here and we talk about what it looks like, but ultimately we’re in here to have a good time and be part of a family and work hard.” VT

Walker’s curriculum is derived from Krav Maga, a method made popular by the Israeli Defensive Forces, which incorporates disciplines like Judo and Aikido with western techniques like kickboxing and wrestling.

Walker empathizes with first time students, as he remembers his desire to learn these things. “I was scared to walk in that door the first time,” he says.

ing, the flavors and critical attention to detail shining through with every bite.

I started with the eatery’s namesake: the tacos. I chose the pollo asado taco (grilled tequila citrus chicken) “CLT”style with cheese, lettuce and tomato and the al pastor taco (pork shoulder, guajillo marinade and pineapple) “Street”-style with cilantro and onion.

Both were delicious in their own right.

The chicken was tangy and savory, sweet with just the right amount of spice. Meanwhile, the pork taco was primarily sweet, but the cheese that topped it off mellowed it out a bit so that each element came together to create an extraordinary balance of flavor.

And the tortillas on both tacos were, as promised, incredibly fresh.

The tortilla also made an appearance on the shrimp quesadilla, an impressively stuffed dish teeming with flavor and spice. The mild kick of the seasoned shrimp blended perfectly with the creaminess of the cheese. Meanwhile, the crunch and give of the tortilla made for an entrée that was not only delicious but also decidedly authentic.

The real star of the afternoon, however, was the tortilla-less “Logan Sqaure”-style mahi mahi burrito. The Logan Square base dictates a tortilla – or in this case a bowl – filled with jalapeños, avocado, del blanco cheese, chipotle cream, lettuce and tomato. Then the mahi mahi, which is grilled and topped with a cilantro lime pesto, is added to make the dish truly spectacular. The citrus of the fish, the spice of the jalapeño and the mellowness of the avocado joined in tandem to create an entrée bursting with extreme, but exceedingly well-balanced, flavor.

Guadalajara torta.

Next up for The Ville Taqueria, Leon is in the midst of opening his second location. Nestled in, the spot should be open within a month as it’s only waiting on its liquor license. Following that opening, Leon has big plans for the brand. “I think Louisville’s big enough where we could put six or seven of these in key locations, ” he ponders.

An ambitious goal, but with the simplicity and flavor offered by Leon’s concept, it will be those “key locations’” pleasure to have a Ville Taqueria in their neighborhood.

We have this big, six-foot state of Kentucky sign that no one else has in the city or the state.” If unique gift-giving is the goal, it seems that Mark’s Hallmark is the place to go. In fact, Westenhofer goes on to say, “You will not find a store, in Oxmoor, or even in Louisville, that has the variety that we do.”

Mark’s Hallmark is a Hallmark store, and as such, there are some expectations as to what the store looks like. Westenhofer says that in terms of store design and layout, Mark’s Hallmark has made a complete 180. According to him, several customers have entered and claimed that they normally would not shop at a Hallmark store but would happily do so at this one.

“We used to play a lot of love music and Frank Sinatra. There’s nothing wrong with that, but we wanted to mix things up a little. We started playing more current, local music like My Morning Jacket.

I’m trying to get some younger ages interested in our store in addition to the client base we already have.” Westenhofer goes on to say that another one of his goals is to get men interested in buying things for their homes in his store. “I’m a guy, and I want other guys to be able to walk in and see something and say, ‘That’s cool. I want to get this.’”

Several changes have been made to Mark’s Hallmark to cast a wider net, but at the same time, Westenhofer doesn’t want the store to forget its already loyal customers or lose sight of what they are as a Hallmark store. “We still carry the items that you would find at any Hallmark store such as the signature Hallmark Christmas tree ornaments. But we also have giftables, local craft items, and boutique dresses that you cannot find anywhere else in town. We make sure of it.”

Whether it’s adorning the home, dressing up for festivities, or maintaining the spirit of the holidays by giving to others, Mark’s Hallmark has the needs of Louisvillians met. Go on down and see how Greg Westenhofer and his team have made the holidays cool and fresh again. VT

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.

ast weekend’s box office saw a boost through two new movies based on old properties. Of the two, “The Peanuts Movie” had the biggest challenge as it has been a very long time since any incarnation of Charlie Mans best friend Brown and his friends have been seen carpets worst enemydoing anything.

It takes on the challenge to incorporate characteristics only inherent in pre-digital animation processes. Just as “The Lego Movie” borrowed from the stop-motion choppiness seen in homemade internet Lego movies, this film sets strong limitations to its well-rendered 3D models to only stand and move in formations reminiscent of their classic two-dimensional incarnations.

I’m sure that no small child is thinking about this, but it was a relief to me, that someone at Blue Sky Studios saw beauty in the simplicity of Charles Schulz’s drawings and found a clever way of maintaining their essence. Now, did they get everything else right?

looking kids doing things that no one in the 21st century does anymore. Imagine if parents had to explain to young audience members what jazz is too. At least Linus doesn’t quote any biblical scripture this time.

James Bond has returned with “Spectre” and all the financial support it could ask for after 2012’s “Skyfall” took the Daniel Craig run of the franchise to new box office heights. Through the continuing efforts of director Sam Mendes, this film is just as gorgeous looking as the last. The action is fun, Thomas Newman’s score is dramatic, the locations are breathtakingly captured, and once again everything onscreen - no matter how effects-heavy - looks real.

However, I am compelled to agree with Bond fans critical of the misguided efforts to make new 007 films more interesting for a modern audience.

So far, “Quantum of Solace” was the most offpoint by trying to make the world around Bond more real. Now the series has found another wrong direction: trying to make Bond more real.

As a moderate fan of this series, I believe that each entry is, at best, a superficial guilty-pleasure that attempts to capture the collective heterosexual male fantasy world of the year in which it was made. Making it too real is a confusing buzzkill.

Making it too outlandish destroys our suspension of disbelief. I could recount the story of “Spectre” to explain how it walks this tightrope until it stumbles embarrassingly, but I’d be telling yet another story about MI6 getting horribly compromised by another world domination scheme leading up to a couple of majorly dumb spoiler-filled plot twists.

All you need to know is that the movie is beautiful yet ridiculous -and it would be better if the movie itself could own up to this fact. This is Bond. He has a license to be ridiculous. VT

Classic Peanuts plot elements are rehashed and stuffed into this episodic story about Charlie Brown trying to make a new impression and gain self-esteem. Sadly, the movie has a slightly obnoxious tone, lacking Schulz’s patient ability to build toward jokes and composer Christophe Beck’s epic movie score feels like the antithesis of Vince Guaraldi’s pathos-filled piano jazz music from those good ol’ Charlie Brown movies and specials (though it’s used occasionally for fan service).

I suppose that it’s enough that this movie features abstract

There is also a 12 foot screen complete with surround sound system. “I “At 16, most kids are saving up for a car, want to try and capture the spirit of the old but I was saving up for was a $400 Quasar Vogue that Louisville used to have,” says VCR,” recalls Seng, relating his lifelong film Seng.

He can however, create Facebook events, and he advises anyone interested in attending the club in the future to like the Side Door Cinema Club page on the social media platform in order to stay in the know on not only the films but on the acquisition of tickets.

It seems that this club is a worthy addition to Louisville and a more than adequate way to give people their indie film fix. Look up the screenings and attend to keep this fledgling group going.

PUZZLES

pets of the week Mac is a beautiful twelve-year-old grey and white Domestic Shorthair cat. He is a quiet fellow who loves to look out the window at all the goings on of the world.

Mac is a bit shy when first meeting people, but once he gets to know you, he warms up quickly. Mac will play gently but really prefers a quiet spot next to you on the couch. Mac has lived with other cats and peacefully coexisted with them. He’s looking for a home with a sunny spot for a nap and a person who will love him and let him cuddle. Could that person be you? Mac is neutered, micro-chopped and up-to-date on his vaccinations. Come meet him at the Kentucky Humane Society’s Main Campus, 241 Steedly Drive.

Lexie is eight years old, and an interesting mixture of Terrier and Pug. She’s a smart girl who can read what a person needs and offer them the love they are seeking.

She is house-trained and loves to be by her human’s side. November is adopt a senior pet month, and Lexie is hoping you’ll give this girl a chance. She’s spayed, micro-chipped and up-to-date on her vaccinations. Come meet her today at the Kentucky Humane Society’s Fern Creek Feeders Supply, 6820 Bardstown Road.

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