December is always a busy month with the holidays and gift-giving. In this week’s feature story, it is nice to see a place give not only in December but year-round. Portland Promise Church has created something new and exciting for the Louisville area. They created a restaurant with a twoway giving model; The Table operates on a pay-what-you-can premise.

So, after getting a bite to eat, you either pay with your money or you pay with your time. Your time can range from 30 minutes to three hours, and the work can be anything from waiting tables to doing the dishes. I think this concept is something Louisville truly needed, and it really brings the community together. You could have wealthy businessmen and homeless individuals dining side-by-side in the same space, but everyone is treated equal. That is what I love the most – that everyone in this community, no matter their socioeconomic status, has a seat at The Table.

the Speed Museum. The building and renovation for the new Speed Art Museum has been talked about a lot, but it seems we have forgotten what the art museum is all about – art! And the amount of art that the museum will house is very impressive. We talk to the curatorial team at the museum and get a little more insight into how the collection will shape the new Speed.

Speaking of impressive, our own Male Bulldogs won the Class 6A football championship! The Bulldogs had an unblemished record this year, and let me personally congratulate them on their tremendous work this season. For more information on the game, including a spread of action photos, check out Randy Whetstone’s High School Sports Report in the Sports section.

Around town, my dear friend Peggy Heuser hosted Barry Brinker’s Jewelry show this past week. His stunning jewelry collection was browsed by party-goers with cocktails in hand. Other dear friends of mine, Margaret and Dan Woodside, had a fabulous dinner and cocktail party.

Guests celebrated the upcoming holiday season and enjoyed each other’s company. Lastly, we stopped by Light Up St. Matthews where there was more celebrating of the holiday season! The event concluded with Santa himself flipping the switch to literally light up Brown Park. It is beautifully decorated and is sure to put everyone in a cheerful mood.

Another thing The Voice-Tribune loves is special sections this time of year so that we can give you as much holiday gift-giving help as possible! In this Special Section for holiday gifts, you will find different priced gifts ranging from $25 to splurges. We think we have covered the bases for gifting to everyone from co-workers to family members. Take a look at what we have found!

And as everyone anxiously awaits the new Speed Art Museum, we at The Voice-Tribune have some inside information about what is to come in March 2016. In this week’s Profile, we dive into the art collection at

And in the spirit of Holidays there will not be a paper the week of December 24. Enjoy time with your family as we head into the most wonderful time of the year!

Happy Holidays,

THERE ARE TWO OPTIONS for those who are unable to afford food.

They may visit a soup kitchen, stand in line and receive a meal for free. At places like The Table though, they can order anything they like then pay for their meal not with money but with time.

THE FOLKS AT THE TABLE, a nonprofit restaurant that recently opened in the Portland neighborhood of Louisville, call their operation a two-way giving model and celebrate it as an effective and engaging partnership. John Howard, a leader behind The Table, claims, “There’s so many more positive effects that come out of a partnership model – a two-way giving model – than a one-way giving model. And the light bulb just went off and things started falling into place very quickly after we had that realization.”

The Table was born out of the Portland Promise Church, which Larry and Kathie Stoess moved to Portland in 2012.

The church soon created the Promise Community Development, an organization that encourages community development, social entrepreneurism and social justice.

Its first outreach project was The Table, which opened at the beginning of November of this year.

Howard, who is the president of Promise Community Development, recalls the formulation of the concept, which took years to nail down. “About three years ago, we started talking about what was on our hearts and what the solutions could

be to some of the problems that we were kind of burdened with,” he explains. “And one of the great issues we’ve seen in the neighborhood is food insecurity … We just were talking – ‘What is an effective solution that isn’t just a line where people pick up food and walk through?’ And we didn’t know what the answer was.”

The team began doing some research looking for solutions and talking to friends, neighbors and community leaders – searching for some kind of answer to this very real problem. Then, Howard recalls it was a friend who sent him links about Jon Bon Jovi’s Soul Kitchen restaurant in New Jersey and One Bistro outside Cincinnati. Both restaurants operate on the pay-what-you-can premise where diners are asked to pay for their meal with money, pay for their meal and a little extra or pay with their time to help in the operation of the restaurant.

These places seemed to be exactly what the Promise team thought was needed in Louisville and left them puzzled as to why this void had not been filled in their own hometown. “We realized this is going on all over the country but it’s not happening in Louisville,” Howard recalls.

“And with Louisville being of its size and being such a food town, we asked the question, ‘Why? Why isn’t this happening? Why doesn’t Louisville have one of these?’”

The group decided to travel to the

nearby One Bistro and see what they could learn. They credit the folks behind that restaurant as being imminently helpful in the creation of The Table and thank them for advising how to successfully run what could potentially be a failing model.

But this sort of thing can succeed, and it’s doing just that in Louisville.

The Table opened its doors in early November and has been booming ever since. Keeping the business afloat, the eatery has seen just the right mix of those willing to pay with their money and those willing to pay with their time.

“We even have some people who have paid – some of our neighbors even – who have paid for their meal and then stuck around to help out,” relates Larry Stoess, a prominent figure at The Table and the pastor of the Portland Promise Church.

Kathie Stoess, who works as the hostess and volunteer coordinator at The Table says customers always have questions about how paying with their time works.

Whether they plan to do so or not, its an intriguing concept due to, if nothing else, its irregularity. “But it’s just a real simple process,” she asserts. “You order what you want to eat, and when you’re done, I have a form that you’ll fill out, we’ll put a t-shirt on you and put you to work. It’s that simple.”

As far as what they’ll actually be doing, it could be anything. From dishwashing to prepping to food-running to even wait-

ing tables, there’s no shortage of day-today duties that need to be done at The Table, and with only two paid staff members, they truly do need the help. Timewise, volunteers can help for as little as 30 minutes, though some stay for up to three hours. “That’s always a question that they have too,” Kathie Stoess affirms. “They say, ‘Well, I only have a half-hour. What can I get for a half-hour?’ And we don’t really work like that. Get what you want to eat and give us what you can.”

This flexibility and accessibility offered

by The Table truly brings together people of all walks of life, and that is one of the

a business where the customers do not always pay can be sustainable. According to those doing the bookkeeping, the answer is a resounding yes. Thanks to the right mix of paying and volunteering customers, Howard contends that the restaurant is proving to be entirely self-sustainable in its one month of business. “The whole goal is for this to be self-sustainable,” he maintains. “Most nonprofits rely on fundraising events and end up in fundraising mode all the time. But this model is self-sustainable just through what we do here every day.”

And part of that is food. Kathie Stoess

aspects of the non-profit that Larry Stoess finds particularly beautiful: “It is fun to have someone from downtown who has a lot of financial wherewithal – maybe a business leader or a city leader – in here with some of our neighbors or homeless friends, sitting and dining in the same space together, unaware of each other’s social position,” he emphasizes.

Many, at least from the eastern side of town, have raised the question since The Table’s opening of whether or not D E C E M B E R 1 0 , 2 0 1 5 • W W W . V O I C E -T R I B U N E . C O M

agrees: “One of the things we do here is serve good healthy food.” Food options in Portland are limited to just a couple fastfood joints, so what The Table is bringing is actually quite significant. The menu features such offerings as a root veggie salad, a smoked chicken sandwich and a broccoli, cauliflower, cranberry and pecan side salad. Some of the produce The Table uses couldn’t be more local as it comes from a community garden on 44th Street just down the block.

The menu itself, easily pleasing to any palate, was the result of intense planning and multiple trials. “It developed over a number of months,” Howard details. The team created a list of ideas of what they thought they’d want to offer, and the chef put it together into the menu it is today.

But when guests get seated, they receive two menus: a food menu and a mission menu. On the latter, The Table introduces itself to its customers and explains what it hopes to achieve in the community. It describes the central concept of The Table, which is everyone working together to create a place where all can enjoy “the flavor of the community.”

And maybe some of those who come to The Table will perhaps learn from what it is doing and more Portland residents in particular will feel moved to make something of their own. The building that houses the restaurant has plenty of space for other business to take root, and the hope is that The Table inspires a movement. “I don’t know if it’s a year from now or two years or three years, but we’re hoping that this gives birth to other indigenous leaders in the neighborhood starting businesses,” Larry Stoess ponders.

Howard has similar thoughts: “That’s the big dream,” he says. “That other folks in the neighborhood take the opportunity to start their own business and be part of the development that’s happening in the neighborhood. We need folks from across the city to help develop Portland, but we also really want Portland to be developed internally as well.”

The rise of Portland has indeed been anticipated for multiple years, but now, with a place like The Table actually open and successful, it seems that that reality is even closer – not only to bring development but to lift up the community and provide unprecedented possibility. “We feel like this is one of the ways to secure gentrification with justice,” Larry Stoess describes.

“Our neighbors will have the chance to participate in and enjoy the benefits of the development, and we’re giving them that access where everyone has a seat at the table.” VT The Table is located at 1800 Portland Ave. For more information, visit tablecafe.org.

think this is going to be a much more broad and immersive experience for our visitors.”

In addition to the expansive spaces inside, contemporary art will be featured outside at the Elizabeth P. and Frederick K. Cressman Art Park. The park is completely free and includes sculptures by Henry Moore, Deborah Butterfield and Mark Handforth. There are also multi-media installations, including work by sound artist Susan Phillipsz. For Erbes, this amalgamation of mediums is precisely what will make the park so uniquely engaging.

“Part of [Contemporary Art Curator Miranda Lash]’s plan, which I think is brilliant,” he describes, “is that we treat part of the Art Park outside as contemporary space where we have an installation up for a month or a year, and then it goes away and something else comes into the space as opposed to a more traditional sculpture park, where fixed, three-dimensional things go into that space and are there for many, many years.

We’ll have a mix of both.”

Back inside, a 5,600-square-foot space will be the new home to the Kentucky Collection.

“The Speed is the state’s oldest and largest art museum,” Erbes explains, “and we really feel like we have a responsibility to share the artistic heritage of the state with our visitors.”

Meanwhile, the revered permanent European and American art collections have been totally reinstalled in revitalized gallery spaces.

“In the newly installed European and American galleries, visitors will be able to immerse themselves in a wide variety of histories,” describes Erika Holmquist-Wall, Mary and Barry Bingham, Sr., Curator of European and American Painting and Sculpture. “My goal is to provide a number of ‘aha’ moments throughout the galleries – I want the artworks to be triggers for a conversation or experience.

what defines art, and how art can change with our understanding of our local community, and other communities around the world.”

Dean Otto, curator of the Speed’s new film collection, similarly looks forward to using his specialty to encourage broader discussion: “Everything will look and sound its best technically, and I’ll be enhancing the programs with introductions, extensive program notes and post-screening discussions,” he offers.

Regardless of individual classifications, however, one of the most tremendous things about the Speed is that its work spans the gamut of the creative spirit. “One of the things the visitors will see in various spaces ... is where all the curators have come together and put together galleries that span the whole of the collections – that bring together everything from Ancient Roman material to contemporary art – really to show that the spirit of human creativity transcends time.”

But The Speed is also interested in being a one-of-a-kind experience for artists as well as guests. “Our goal is for the Speed to become a laboratory for artists to experiment, create new work and bring new ideas to Louisville,” contends Contemporary Art Curator Miranda Lash. “Visitors can expect to be surprised, challenged and encouraged to ask questions about

“We give people joy,” says Dayton. “People come in here all the time – I can’t tell you how many women come in here – and they go: ‘This place just makes me happy.’”

That’s a combination you won’t find elsewhere in Louisville.

For some of those customers, Colonial Designs provides a sense of connection with the tried-and-true. Some of them are the children or grandchildren of the folks who picked up flowers from the old shop in the ’50s. Some of the older shoppers have been shopping Colonial Designs for about as long as it’s been around.

The siblings and Moyer each have unique tastes, which leads to an eclectic yet harmonious inventory.

“We have our own inputs, but we generally like the same things,” Moyer says. “And I think that’s what makes this place so special.”

Joe Brotzge, Terry Dayton, Martha Weinert and Amy Moyer.

They stock only the products that meet the standards of their creative eyes. If they don’t like it, they don’t sell it. But if they do like it, they sell it ardently.

So for many St. Matthews shoppers, Colonial Designs is the place to go when they’re on a quest for that gift their loved one won’t already have.

“They know they’re going to get something different,” Moyer says.

It’s not just the variety of merchandise that makes Colonial Designs delightfully unique.

Moyer, her mom, her aunt and her uncle share a flair for displaying them all in creatively chic ways. They’ll decorate a Christmas tree in shades of blue and cream, for example, in lieu of the clichéd red and gold.

The original owners, Ann and Maurice Brotzge, are both 89 now. Mrs. Brotzge still stops in most every day to help out for a little while.

Glaucoma: The Stealthy Thief of Sight

M

By Dr. Ben Gaddie, Gaddie Eye Centers

any of us have experienced the glaucoma “air puff test” at our eye doctor’s office at one point or another, and yet, we usually associate glaucoma with older adults. But it’s not something relatively young people need to worry about, right? Wrong!

Glaucoma is a disease where the optic nerve (the nerve from the eye to the brain) becomes damaged from either elevated eye pressure or altered blood flow to the back of the eye, where the nerve lives. Most often, glaucoma has absolutely no symptoms and can result in gradual, sometimes unnotice-

able vision loss (scary, huh?).

2. ETHNIC BACKGROUND OR RACE

Here’s the thing: Even though it can be symptomless and usually isn’t diagnosed until the senior years, glaucoma doesn’t happen overnight. Rather, it can progress for more than 10 years before patients become aware of sight problems, usually in the form of peripheral vision loss. But even this can go undetected by patients, as the brain tricks them into believing they have normal sight by filling in the edges of their vision.

African Americans as well as patients of Hispanic or Latino decent are at particularly high risk for glaucoma. In addition, glaucoma onset unfortunately occurs earlier with these groups than with other ethnicities.

The good news is, with annual eye exams, the change year to year can be documented and followed. And for those patients where glaucoma is caught early, usually something as simple as a once-daily eye drop can control it and prevent it from getting worse.

Even if you don’t need glasses, even if you’ve always had perfect vision, annual eye exams are crucial for detecting eye problems early. Now, we know the objections: “I don’t have vision insurance!”

“I see fine!”

“I hate that air puff test!”

We hear you. So with that in mind, at least having a knowledge of the risk factors that make glaucoma more likely for you is a good place to start: 1. AGE

Dr. Ben Gaddie.

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

Age is by far the most important risk factor for glaucoma. But there ARE exceptions, and there ARE subsets of patients who can develop glaucoma in their mid to late 30s. To combat age’s threat to your vision, you ABSOLUTELY need an eye exam every year. Let’s face it, people get their teeth checked much more frequently than their eyes, and eyes can’t be replaced!

18

3. A FAMILY HISTORY OF GLAUCOMA If your father, mother or first generation uncle or aunt has been diagnosed, you are at higher risk for glaucoma. There can be confusion about if someone actually has glaucoma or if they are just at risk for it. If your family member treated their glaucoma with daily eye drops, they probably truly had glaucoma.

4. PROLONGED USE OF STEROID MEDICATIONS Prolonged use of steroid-containing eye drops is particularly notorious for increasing the pressure in the eye, which greatly increases the risk for glaucoma. The risk for glaucoma is also increased when these steroids are taken via other routes, like long-term oral steroids or nasal steroidal inhalers for the management of allergic rhinitis.

5. HAVING DIABETES, HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE, HEART DISEASE OR HYPOTHYROIDISM The presence of any of these cardiovascular conditions increases a person’s risk for developing glaucoma due to the delicate and intricate blood flow around the optic nerve.

6. PREVIOUS OR CURRENT EYE INJURIES Injuries to the eye, whether blunt (bruising of the eye) or penetrating (piercing into the eye) can cause an increase in the pressure in the eye. This may lead to an acute onset of glaucoma, or the effect may be delayed and glaucoma develops many years after the injury.

The absence of these risk factors does not necessarily exclude glaucoma. It can develop even when there are no identified risk factors.

Bottom line: There is absolutely no reason to be visually impaired from glaucoma when it can be treated so easily and detected so early.

Glaucoma is stealthy, but your optometrist is stealthier!

UOFL’S RENEWABLE ENERGY PRIZE GOES TO HARVARD CHEMIST DANIEL NOCERA

HANS ABRAHAMSEN WINS GRAWEMEYER AWARD FOR MUSIC COMPOSITION

World-renowned chemist and professor Daniel Nocera, the Patterson Rookwood Professor of Energy at Harvard University, has won the 2015 Leigh Ann Conn Prize for Renewable Energy from the University of Louisville, which recognizes outstanding renewable energy ideas and achievements with proven global impact.

The Grawemeyer Award winners have been announced. The University of Louisville presents the prizes annually for outstanding works in music composition, ideas improving world order, psychology and education and gives a religion prize jointly with Louisville Presbyterian Theological Seminary. The 2016 winners will present free lectures about their award-winning ideas when they visit Louisville in April to accept their $100,000 prizes

Nocera is recognized for two energy storage creations. The first is his “Artificial Leaf,” a renewable energy device that synthetically duplicates the direct solar-to-fuel steps of photosynthesis, the process by which plants use sunlight to split water into hydrogen and oxygen to create fuel for themselves. The Artificial Leaf was named Innovation of the Year for 2011 by Time magazine.

The second is a low cost, rechargeable “flow” battery for scalable centralized (grid) and distributed (microgrid) energy storage at the megawatt-hour (MWh) scale. Nocera’s innovations address the storage of energy until needed, the most critical challenge of widespread implementation of renewables.

In March 2016, Dr. Nocera will give a free public talk in Louisville about his winning work. He will receive the Conn Prize medal and $50,000 award at the formal Leigh Ann Conn Prize Laureate ceremony.

Nominations for the 2017 Leigh Ann Conn Prize competition run January 1 to December 31, 2016; criteria and directions are at leighannconnprize.com. For more information, contact Andrew Marsh at 502.852.8597 or LeighAnnConnPrize@louisville.edu.

“let me tell you,” a song cycle for soprano and orchestra, has earned Danish composer Hans Abrahamsen the 2016 Grawemeyer Award for Music Composition.

Abrahamsen’s half-hour work presents a first-person narrative by Ophelia, the tragic noblewoman from Shakespeare’s “Hamlet.” The libretto by Paul Griffiths is adapted from his 2008 novel – also titled “let me tell you” – and consists of seven poems created using only the minimal vocabulary that Shakespeare originally scripted for Ophelia. “let me tell you” was commissioned by the Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra with support from the Danish Arts Foundation. The work premiered in 2013 with the Berlin Philharmonic conducted by Andris Nelsons and featured soprano Barbara Hannigan, to whom the work is dedicated. It since has been performed by orchestras around the world. Performances in the U.S. are scheduled in Cleveland and Boston in early 2016.

WOODFORD RESERVE RELEASES 2015 HOLIDAY BOTTLE Woodford Reserve celebrates the holiday season with the release of its 2015 holiday bottle. The limited edition Woodford Reserve holiday bottle features the artwork from Louisville artist Thomas William Foerster.

Foerster’s image on the bottle features a snow scene in the middle of winter at the Woodford Reserve Distillery in Versailles, Ky. The impressionistic image features nine bourbon barrels resting on the barrel run in front of the distillery. Covered in a small amount of snow, the barrels are making their way to the warehouse where the bourbon will mature for several years. In the background, the sun is setting in hues of golden orange.

“Woodford Reserve is thrilled to collaborate with such a talented and experienced artist to showcase this beautiful scene from our distillery,” said Jason Kempf, Woodford Reserve brand director. “His skillset for realistic landscape painting combined with his passion for impressionism makes his artwork picture perfect for the bottle.”

The one liter-size bottle will be available in select U.S. markets on shelves in December. Suggested retail price is $43.99.

Okay, it’s an unfair comparison. Stoops is in his first head-coaching assignment, and the SEC is tough duty. When Stoops has 25 years of experience under his belt, his vision will appear as clear as Kentucky’s more-accomplished coach and his decisions will be considered sacred.

But right now, Stoops is running a program that Patrick Towles, for one, wanted to escape. Clearly, he and whoever is advising him saw no future for this team next year and a better future somewhere else.

Did Stoops try to stop him? Or, like Calipari with Wiltjer, did he say, “Kid, I think this isn’t the place for you”? Maybe we’ll know someday. Maybe Stoops and Dawson saw something in Barker – or maybe in Hoke – that convinced them the program would be better without Towles, addition by subtraction.

It might work out for Towles. It certainly worked out for Wiltjer. He switched to Gonzaga, nearer to his Oregon home, with a freer-flowing offense that saw him average 17 a game for a 35-3 Elite Eight team, and this year, he’s averaging close to 20.

But if he wasn’t going to improve his defense and rebounding, get tougher with the ball and get stronger in the blocks, he wasn’t going to get more than his 6-8 minutes per game at Kentucky.

Of course, at the time Wiltjer left, Calipari was putting together teams that went to two Final Fours, including the historic 38-1 run of a year ago, and the current bunch, until this week, ranked No. 1 in the nation.

Until Stoops gains the same complete, unspoken control of the situation, he’ll always be haunted by the question, “Was the Towles situation one big, mishandled mistake?” VT

order being sent into disarray.

With the Citrus Bowl no longer in play, Clemson was now the Russell Athletic Bowl’s to have. The logical thought was that Louisville would move to the game with the next pick, the Music City Bowl, where they would face an SEC squad.

Speculation over Louisville’s opponent was already swirling as Cardinal fans began to book hotels in downtown Nashville.

this creepy older guy, but he ended up being Leo DiCaprio in makeup for a movie and paid our entire tab. The result was cool and all, but the preceding events made us all a little concerned about the future.

Fast forward 12 months and UofL finds itself on the other end of the fairness spectrum.

Despite owning a worse record than Pittsburgh and having lost to the Panthers in the penultimate game of the regular season, the Music City Bowl opted to jump Pat Narduzzi’s team in favor of selecting Louisville last Saturday. Pitt, instead, will head to the Military Bowl where it will face nationally-ranked Navy. Despite the strength of their opponent, Panther fans are having as much of a tough time accepting the “all’s well that ends well” party line as Cards fans did a year ago.

Teams that have yet to establish themselves as perennial top-tier contenders in the ACC can continue to expect life in the “Power 5” to include its fair share of paranoia come postseason time. With that being the case, there’s always going to be concern that the landing in those situations isn’t going to be as smooth as the one UofL pulled off over the weekend.

There’s really nothing Louisville fans can do about all this outside of fully enjoying this year’s stellar game location, date and opponent. Bowl life might not always be this superb. Ask Pitt. VT W W W . V O I C E -T R I B U N E . C O M • D E C E M B E R 1 0 , 2 0 1 5

Fun Fall Meet Flashbacks

ith the benefit of a few days of viewing in the rear-view mirror, here are some thoughts on the past 21 action-packed days of racing in the Churchill Downs Fall Meet.

starts. Lanerie failed to win in 17 races on the grass.

Horse Sense

Applause is also due for jockey Sophie Doyle, the meet’s top female rider with a career-high six wins from 69 starters.

Fans of rising star Chris Landeros and veteran Robby Albarado were JOHN rewarded nicely for their support.

Many heroics were fueled by 2-yearLanderos piloted 10 winners from 65 old stars in a meet that is notable for ASHER starters that returned an average of the large number of future stars who strutted their potential in its races. But the “Best of $18.30 for a $2 win wager, while Albarado’s 18 Fall Meet 2015” offers congratulations on a wide winners averaged a $15 payout for a $2 win bet. range of categories from equine and human stars.

Top “money” riders of the meet made quick and We’ll start with the humans: very profitable strikes at the Louisville track.

TRAINER OF THE MEET Louisville native Brad Cox has been a surging force at local meets in recent years and is honored for his best-ever performance beneath the Twin Spires in the recently-concluded meet. Horses trained

by Cox finished the meet with a record of 9-4-5 in 25 races that included stakes triumphs by former claiming horses Spelling Again in the Grade II Chilukki and Almasty in the Grade III Commonwealth Turf. Cox won with 36 percent of his runners, and 72 percent finished 1-2-3 with total earnings of a meet-best $433,695.

bles (3-0-0 in five races) also enjoyed notable meets.

BEST BETTING RACE The $200,000 Mrs. Revere, the last North American graded stakes race of the year for 3-year-old fillies on turf, produced some wild payouts for horses that hailed from some of American racing’s top stables.

The victorious Isabella sings, trained by seven-time Eclipse Award winner and Kentucky Derby winner Todd Pletcher, won at 27-1 and returned $56.60 to win. Runner’s Rainha Da Bateria was a 44-1 runner-up who finished ahead of third-place Devine Aida, a 6-1 shot trained by Christophe Clement, and the Mark Casse-trained 49-1 fourth-place finisher, Season Ticket.

The winning $2 exacta paid $1,799, while the $2 trifecta payout was $19,029 and the $1 superfecta mutual was $63,817.

You can figure that some 10-cent superfecta tickets won the latter.

RISING STAR

Trainer Neil Howard’s Ahh Chocolate (6) looked like a future star with her win in the Falls City Handicap.

Chris Richard had similar numbers – 10-4-5 in 30 races – but no stakes wins.

Steve Asmussen earned his 17th “Leading Trainer” title with 13 wins from 47 starters. Eight of his winners were 2-year-olds, which included Rags to Riches winner Stageplay.

Trainer stat of the meet: Louisville native Dale Romans, second in career wins at Churchill Downs, saddled six winners with an average $2 win payout of $12.80.

JOCKEY OF THE MEET Corey Lanerie earned his fifth “Leading Jockey” title in a runaway with 33 winners from 157 mounts, but the edge here goes to Julien Leparoux, who compiled a slate of 18-23-13 from 114 rides.

Among Leparoux’s victories were “Stars of Tomorrow II” stakes triumphs aboard Airoforce in the Kentucky Jockey Club (Grade II) and Carina Mia in the Golden Rod (GII) and a front-running triumph by Heart to Heart on turf in the River City Handicap (GII).

Leparoux gained an edge on the Matt Winn Turf Course, which was the scene of five wins in 24 D E C E M B E R 1 0 , 2 0 1 5 • W W W . V O I C E -T R I B U N E . C O M

Hall of Famer and Kentucky Derby winner Mike Smith won the $500,000 Clark Handicap Presented by Norton Healthcare (GI), the meet’s premier event, aboard Tri-Bone Stable’s Effinex.

The Clark was Smith’s only ride during the meet.

Jockey Paco Lopez earned stakes victories on grass on successive weekends when he guided Isabella Springs to an upset in the Grade II Mrs. Revere and then won the Grade III Cardinal aboard Button Down (GB).

OWNER OF THE MEET Kentuckians Ken and Sarah Ramsey, who set a record for total titles of “Leading Owner” with each new crown, earned their 25th local title – a meet-leading 19 wins from 46 starters.

Midwest Thoroughbreds was next with six wins from only 19 runners – a 32 percent win rate. The stable’s in-the-money percentage was 74 percent.

Give Midwest Thoroughbreds the nod for stronger finish with fewer than half of the Ramsey starters. Tom Durant (4-1-0 from eight starters), Maggi Moss (4-2-1 from 14 starters), Winchell Thoroughbreds (3-0-1 in seven starts) and Stonestreet Sta-

The Falls City Handicap (GII) winner was Ahh Chocolate. She was nurtured carefully through her 3-year-old season by Neil Howard, and the year-ending Falls City was her best moment. There will be more highlights to come in 2015.

RACE OF THE MEET The Clark Handicap won by Breeders’ Cup Classic runner-up, Effinex, takes the honor. Effinex turned back defending winner, Hoppertunity, by three-quarters of a length, and the Clark’s top five finishers were separated by two lengths.

IF I COULD BET ON ONE HORSE I SAW AT THE 2015 FALL MEET TO WIN THE KENTUCKY DERBY IT WOULD BE Gun Runner. The inexperienced son of Candy Ride (ARG) ran fourth over the slop in the Kentucky Jockey Club in a run that bears close inspection. He gained a short lead in the stretch before running out of gas but has about 150 days to improve on his game and wear roses.

SAME FOR THE KENTUCKY OAKS Smart Shopper overcame significant trouble to win her “Stars of Tomorrow II” racing debut over the slop. I love youngsters that hurdle obstacles early on. They’re already ahead of the game. VT P H OTO B Y R E E D PA L M E R | C H U R C H I L L D O W N S

A Performer at Heart Trey Lewis is one of two “one and done” players on the UofL roster. Lewis, who graduated from Cleveland State University, is the second leading scorer for the No. 22 Cards, averaging 14.1 points per game. He scored 21 points in their 71-67 loss at now No. 1 Michigan State on December 2. Lewis is originally from Garfield Heights, Ohio, and started his college career at Penn State. He played one season for the Nittany Lions before playing two at Cleveland State. He is getting his master’s at UofL in education. Lewis plays the piano and even gave an impromptu performance during his recruiting visit last spring. The Cards host Eastern Michigan on Saturday at 2 p.m.

You scored 24 points against UofL last year in the KFC Yum! Center. How much did that experience weigh into your decision to come here?

Coming to Louisville has been an awesome experience for me. Just the whole journey getting here. I had a great game at the Yum! Center, but I never knew that it would be possible to be here at this school now. It’s a great opportunity.

to make some mistakes, but one thing you’ll never question is the way we go out there and fight.

Taylor’s 10 KENT TAYLOR

How important was it to show that you weren’t satisfied with losing a close one at Michigan State and then respond by beating Grand Canyon by 48?

We expected to go to Michigan State and win that game. A lot of people were giving us pats on the back, but we don’t want that credit. We expected to win that game. We had a bad taste in our mouth. We needed no motivation after losing a game like that. We just wanted to respond.

WAVE3 Sports

When did it get into your mind to go the fifth year route and come to Louisville?

My focus was on helping my team at Cleveland State get to tournament, and once that didn’t happen, I just had to sit and evaluate my options. Once I got my release, I began talking to coach Kenny Johnson, and he reached out to me.

I was able to come on a visit and meet Coach P. and hear about his vision for me and how much he wanted me. That made me feel unbelievable to be a part of something like this. Playing here, I had a chance to see the amazing fans and the tradition and the culture. That’s something that I had never experienced and something that I had been dreaming about since I was a kid. Playing in that type of atmosphere and playing in these bigtime games, that’s all I can ask for.

How important is getting to the NCAA tournament?

What will Deng Adel add when he returns to the court?

That’s what’s scary about this team. We’re playing well right now, but when Deng gets back, he brings a whole different element to our team.

He’s out best transition player. He’s super strong; he can guard bigger guards. He can guard the post as well.

When you were a kid and you took piano lessons, did you enjoy it?

I hated it growing up, but as I got older, I learned to appreciate it.

That’s the goal; that’s where I want to be.

That’s where we’re going to be.

Is that a way for you to get away from basketball and relax?

What did you learn about your team in the four-point loss at now No. 1 Michigan State?

Sometimes when coach yells at us in practice, I just have to get the stress out somehow, so I play.

I learned a lot about our guys. That was the type of competition that we’re going to see throughout the year with our tough schedule.

One thing I saw is that we compete. I knew that about the guys, but it’s good to see us get out there and compete at that level. Obviously, we have young guys on this team, and we’re going P H OTO 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

SANTA WINNERS Fabulous Finds, the resale shop operated by the Friends of the Louisville Deaf Oral School had, by popular demand, a cardinal red Santa and a blue UK Santa in this year’s Christmas raffle. Usually, only one Santa with a mink robe is made each year by volunteer Suzanne Moeller, and they are fabulous. This year they were robed in satin gowns patterned with each school’s logo in their respective colors. Tickets were either red or blue and went in matching glass containers. June Eastridge won the blue UK Santa and Dennis McNeill won the red UofL Santa.

EAR ABBY: I’m 13 and in what I think is a serious relationship with “Josh.” The problem is, his mom thinks I’m “mentally abusing” him.

Dear Abby

think this is a problem, but it is for me. I’m a single male, almost 77, who can easily pass for 50 or 55.

The problem is friends, acquaintances and some strangers (in their 40s, 50s and 60s) think that because I look so much younger than my age, I should be able to perform the same physical tasks they do, which I can’t. I have the same aches and pains as anyone else my age.

JEANNE I have never done anything to Josh to make her think that. She and PHILLIPS I have had our disagreements and I’m flattered that I look younger, but how do have not spoken for periods of time before, but I explain that because I look 50 to 55 doesn’t nothing like this has ever happened. mean I necessarily feel that way.

We have a dog and upsets me, and I have asked him not to do it, cat, a big yard and three teenage daughters especially during my pregnancy. I want to feel who want Leisel, but my husband says no.

This should be a time to focus on us and I agree it was a mistake and I don’t really want another dog, but I’m willing to do it for my son. Lots of parents get “stuck” with their kids’ pets. They roll their eyes and just do it. Who is right? – WILLING TO DO IT IN WEST VIRGINIA DEAR WILLING: You are. This is no time to teach your son a lesson. With the international situation heating up as it seems to be, there’s no telling where your son could wind up being stationed. Let him go with peace of mind knowing his pet will be well cared for until he returns.

DEAR MOM: You ARE special and you ARE the person who is creating a new family with Rob, but your pregnancy may be a painful reminder of the child he “lost.” He may be afraid the same thing could happen again and need all the reassurance you can give him that it won’t.

Because his bringing up the past relationship is hurtful, suggest he talk with a licensed mental health professional about it. Sometimes the best way to stop grieving is to talk about it.

••• DEAR ABBY: I have been with “John” for 18 years. We married while he was in prison.

I know I have outgrown him, but I’m scared to say it’s over in case I realize later that we should be together. Over the years, we have both cheated and hurt each other.

I don’t know exactly what I am holding onto with him. There doesn’t seem to be anyone else out there to choose from, so maybe I should stay. I’m not afraid to be alone, but I am confused. I am suffering from depression over this. Please help. – STUCK IN DES MOINES DEAR STUCK: If the only reason you haven’t left John is that there’s no one else around to choose from, it’s understandable that you would be depressed. The status quo isn’t fair for you or your husband.

As I see it, you have two choices: Fix your marriage or leave. Of course, the better option would be for you and John to have counseling to see if your love can be revived. However, if it doesn’t work, then it might be better for you both to separate. The reason there is no one else out there right now may be that you are unavailable.

••• DEAR ABBY: Call me ungrateful, but I am very uncomfortable receiving gifts. How can I get longtime friends to stop bringing hostess gifts when I invite them over? I don’t need anything, and I resent feeling I am obligated to take something to them too.

Why do women do this and men not feel so compelled? I have tried remarking, “The present of your ‘presence’ is present enough,” but it continues. I need your help. – UNGRACIOUS IN FLORIDA DEAR UNGRACIOUS: Women usually bring hostess gifts because they were raised to believe it is the gracious thing to do. (“Don’t come empty-handed.”) Since “remarking” hasn’t gotten your message across, you will have to be more direct with your friends.

TELL them that when they visit, you would prefer they bring only themselves and nothing more. Then explain that you are at a point where you have enough “things” and do not need or want any more.

Life

Sydney O’Bryan I typically dress for functionality and comfort while trying to maintain some fashion sense. While most of the year you will find me dressed professionally for work, the holidays bring out my inner glam girl! We call her “SydVicious.”

I choose classic pieces and basic palettes to highlight my colorful upper arm tattoo “sleeve.” For social holiday affairs, my go-to ensemble is a black and white jumpsuit and vintage fur; red lipstick and accessories are always a must.

The best piece of fashion advice I try to hone is to dress for your body type and to keep it not too trendy but always classic.

Givin’ the Dog a Bone

‘Tis the season for charity. Everyone knows to give to their loved ones, and that also includes those other members of the family who are just as deserving: pets! In that light, the Humane Society has started a fun new tradition to help all those animals in need of a family this holiday season.

What can you tell me about yourself and Twenty-Six Productions?

After nearly 25 years in local radio (on such stations as WAMZ, WHAS and WQMF), my wife, Mel, and I formed Twenty-Six Productions earlier this year. In addition to creating and producing events such as this one, we also do PR for new artists.

What exactly is the event that you have at Mercury Ballroom, and what are the dates?

The event at Mercury Ballroom this Friday, December 11, is called “Givin’ the Dog a Bone.” It’s a rock and roll benefit for the Kentucky Humane Society named after a hit song from AC/DC and featuring the ultimate AC/ DC tribute band, Thunderstruck.

What can guests expect at the event?

Musician Dave Moody, also known for his work in Jefferson TARC Bus and with Billy Ray Cyrus, is a good friend and fellow pet supporter. Dave recently formed Thunderstruck, and the idea for this event just kind of fell into place.

Why is the event important for Twenty-Six Productions?

Mel and I host other events for the Kentucky Humane Society throughout the year.

We created this one as a lower cost alternative to higher-priced gala fundraisers.

“Givin’ the Dog a Bone” will feature adoptable pets from the Kentucky Humane Society, as well as a live rock auction with concert tickets to see The Who and Bruce Springsteen, as well as autographed items and more. There will be a signature “rocktail” drink special ($1 from each one sold that evening will go to KHS) and free pizza from Bearno’s. Doors open at 6:30 p.m. The event kicks off at p.m. and is open to all ages. Dress is casual. Wear what you would wear to a rock concert.

The night will culminate with a performance from Thunderstruck and some very COURTESY PHOTO

special guests. Just last week, Thunderstruck’s guitarist, Allan “Angus” Wheatley, died unexpectedly. The rest of the band wanted to keep their commitment to appear at the event to honor Wheatley. Numerous local guitarist friends (Mark Maxwell, Doug Florio, Jon Huffman, Ronnie Watchmaker, Shane Eisenberg and Hunter Borowick) will be filling in and playing their hearts out to celebrate Allan’s life.

What, if any, hopes do you have for the future of the event?

This is the first event produced by Twenty-Six Productions and is an inaugural event for the Kentucky Humane Society. We hope it becomes an annual fundraising event for them.

Is it too late to get tickets?

Tickets for “Givin’ the Dog a Bone” are still available for just $20, plus applicable fees, and can be purchased in advance at mercuryballroom.com, ticketmaster.com or livenation.com.

Tickets are also available at the Mercury Ballroom box office. Any remaining tickets will be available at the door on Friday evening. VT

wine, beer and bourbon (we enjoyed the local Old 502 Winery’s Bourbon Barrel Red).

This Houston-based business has only been around since 2009 and already has 153 studios spread throughout the U.S. and Canada.

The Louisville franchise has been open for three years now, and Kathryn Baker took over the St. Matthews location as owner/operator in June. She explained how local ownership carries a consistent experience over a vast network of locations. “… We all give feedback to each other and information and tips on what others are doing with their classes, and then we try it here,” she says. “There’s a lot of support. It’s like a big family.”

She also knows all too well what people PHOTOS BY BENNETT DUCKWORTH

often experience on their first visit: “When I decided to buy [the franchise], I had never done anything like this before … I hadn’t painted probably since kindergarten.”

Everyone attending the class sits side-byside and is provided a canvas, preselected paint colors, brushes of three sizes and an apron. What follows is an instructional experience similar to a cooking class: Everyone’s trying to get the same result, but the style of each artist’s work has its own character. Music from the 70s and 80s resounds throughout the room, setting a fun and festive atmosphere.

Palette was wonderfully satisfying because I created it myself. I had the freedom of adding my own little choices to its completion and was able to incorporate flairs of my own style.

My girlfriend, meanwhile, was having a blast just simply painting. We had plenty of time to

chat, chuckle at the kitschy music and enjoy some good drinks. It was my first time, but I certainly hope it won’t be my last.

I mean, when you mix wine with anything, especially the whimsy and adventure of painting, can you really go wrong? VT Pinot’s Palette is located in the shopping center at 291 N. Hubbard’s Lane. If interested in a class or gift certificate, go to pinotspalette.com/Louisville or call 502.409.4572.

The three-hour experience is ideal for a date night and probably better for group outings. Every class has a title and theme. Some nights offer bottomless mimosas, and every Thursday is half-priced bottles of wine night.

The whole space and its restrooms act as a gallery for the work produced over the past three years. Frames are also sold to complement the completed paintings. In the back, the “King Louie Room” is reserved for private parties. And, perfect for the holidays, they also sell gift certificates just in case you think someone you know might get a kick out of the fun offered here.

I’ll admit that I personally probably wouldn’t choose to paint a Christmas tree on my own, but the end result I created at Pinot’s

You’ll also want to block air leaks. According to the U.S. Department of Energy, drafts can waste 5 to 30 percent of your energy use.

To find those leaks, Clore says it’s easy as putting your hand up near a window: “It’s really easy to do this in the winter because there’s a 45-degree difference between the temperatures inside and outside your home. If there’s a leak, that transfer will happen real quick,” he says. If you have leaks near your windows, get some weather-resistant caulk and caulk them from the outside. You can use weather stripping as well. If you find a leak underneath your door, put a draft snake across the bottom of it. A simple rolled up bath towel will work. Other places you might want to check for leaks are where pipes and wires exit your foundation.

Make sure to check your insulation as well.

Simply adding more fiberglass insulation in your attic can boost the energy efficiency in your home. You need a minimum of 12 inches of insulation in your attic. If your insulation falls short, just add another layer of the pink or yellow itchy stuff. Clore says that you’ll also want to do this for your basement or crawlspace.

Another easy way to prepare is to wrap your pipes. Insulating your pipes reduces heat loss and can raise hot water temperatures delivered through your pipes, which allows you to reduce the heat on your boiler. That will save you money on your gas bill. By making your pipes energy efficient, you also don’t have to wait as long for hot water when you turn on the shower, which helps conserve water and time. Wrapping your pipes with insulation will also help prevent your pipes from freezing during those long cold nights. You can get pre-slit pipe foam at the hardware store. Simply cut the foam to the length you need, wrap it around the pipe and fasten it in place with duct tape.

Two big fixes that Clore says often get overlooked are gutters and chimneys. Clogged gutters can lead to the formation of ice dams on your roof. Ice dams occur when water backs up and freezes near the edge of the roof. The ice continues to build up and eventually forms “dams” that block the path of melted snow from your roof. Water starts pooling in mini reservoirs and begins to seep into your house, causing water damage. To prevent ice dams, clean out the dead leaves and other gunk in

your gutters so water can drain freely, and before you start roasting chestnuts on an open fire, have a certified chimney sweep inspect and clean your chimney. Thousands of fires each winter originate in chimneys. A chimney sweep can check the structure of your flue and remove any combustibles or obstructions in your chimney.

And we’ve saved the easiest for last: reverse ceiling fans. Most people don’t know that you can use your fans during the winter to keep your house warm. On every ceiling fan, there’s a switch that allows you to reverse the direction of the blades. Switch it so your ceiling fan rotates clockwise. That will push warm air down and force it to recirculate throughout the room. Don’t forget to make the switch again when it starts to warm up!

Clearly, there is a host of ways to protect your home and save money this holiday season. Most of them are light on your wallet as well. If you have any questions or need professional assistance, give Clore Construction Company a call. They’ll be happy to help you out. VT

As a response to emanating from inside the estabGIERHART that necessity, Ace created his own prolishment.

This company will change the nightlife and there’s nothing quite like it.

DJ Ace is an up-and-coming talent in the local party scene, and hearing him entertain one night at Tin Roof is all you need in order to know that he is the next big thing. Ace says that he has been DJing for the last three years, but it’s only recently that things have really started to take off for him, the realization of a lifelong dream: “My father was actually a DJ. I grew up listening to everything from country, Top 40, 80s rock, 90s pop and even the club music I would steal out of my dad’s CD cases.”

That eclectic background and musical taste have definitely paid off. Like many DJs, Ace employs mashups, but there is a cleverness to his that comes from not only technical skill but also knowledge of a large cross-section of music. For example, at Tin Roof last Saturday night, DJ Ace played a mashup of the classic Bill Withers song “Lean on Me” and the more current Top 40 track “Lean On”

by Major Lazer and DJ Snake. This kind of tactic really pays off, especially when you know your audience, which DJ Ace most assuredly does.

One way Ace hopes to accomplish this is by utilizing top of the line equipment. Watching DJ Ace work is akin to watching some sort of occupational combo of orchestral conductor and airplane pilot. His setup includes a full concert JBL loudspeaker system, CO2 cannons, lasers, intelligent light systems, trussing, high-performance projectors and other pro grade DJ equipment. It’s a sight to behold.

DJ Ace currently has a standing gig at Tin Roof Louisville where he plays the “Tin Roof After Dark” slot – 2 a.m. to 4 a.m. every Friday and Saturday. If you want to hear some of the absolute best mixing in town along with more than a little showmanship, you can search no further. DJ Ace is your man. VT

In addition to musical knowledge, a good DJ knows his or her influences. It’s a good way to know where they came from and to see where they might be headed. Like many other art forms, it’s also informative to know one’s own style: “My style is very open format. My play changes with every crowd, every venue, every D E C E M B E R 1 0 , 2 0 1 5 • W W W .

How Much Do I Like Star Wars?

Film BENNETT DUCKWORTH

I

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.

can’t speak for everyone. Some people love everything with a Star Wars stamp on it. As for me: I think “Return of the Jedi” could have been better; the prequels stink; the cartoon shows are ugly looking; and George Lucas – the very creator of Star Wars – has come to be a disgrace as an artist (but not as a humanitarian COURTESY POSTER

businessman). And yet...I LOVE STAR WARS!!! If only for the 1977 film that started it all and its bigger-than-life sequel, “The Empire Strikes Back,” I’m absolutely bananas for all the potential that exists in that galaxy far, far away.

So what kind of fan am I? I don’t even love the original trilogy as a whole, but I’m completely stoked for “Star Wars: Episode VII – The Force Awakens.” Why? Well, George Lucas sold his creation to Disney, a decision he told Charlie Rose on “CBS This Morning” was comparable to a “break-up.” This was interesting to me because I always liked comparing his relationship with the series to that of a controlling father of a great kid.

Anyway, sound minds at Disney prevailed and got the right people involved for collaborative creativity. Kathleen Kennedy’s years of production experience earned her a place at the top of the new Lucasfilm’s chain of

65

command; Lawrence Kasdan, who co-wrote “Empire” and “Jedi” (and “Raiders of the Lost Ark!”) was brought back to the writers’ room; Harrison Ford, Mark Hamill and Carrie Fisher are back on the Tauntaun saddles; there’s new, young talent like Oscar Isaac, Daisy Ridley and John Boyega; and J.J. Abrams – a man who knows how to make any story, no matter how weak, seem amazing – is in the director’s chair.

All I’m hoping for is that these minds, young and old, came together and realized something beautiful and new. I don’t want pandering fan service; I want a well thought-out movie that tasks Industrial Light and Magic with a rich awe-inspiring show, and I really want to hear another beautiful score by John Williams that evokes those big emotions I miss experiencing at the movies.

We’ve got one week, and I have impossible standards. Let’s hope the impossible happens.

Otherwise, go see Pixar’s “The Good Dinosaur.” It’s cute. VT W W W . V O I C E -T R I B U N E . C O M • D E C E M B E R 1 0 , 2 0 1 5

PUZZLES

pets of the week Abby is a 3-year-old, Chinese Shar-Pei mix with a big heart and an even bigger personality. She came to the Kentucky Humane Society back in October after being transferred from an overcrowded shelter. Abby is a wonderful, goofy girl with just the right amount of energy. She loves running and playing with her friends here at the shelter, but once she’s done, she transforms into the world’s biggest cuddle bug. Abby loves tennis balls, squeaky toys, bones and dancing/hopping on her back legs for treats. She’s house-trained, spayed, micro-chipped and up-to-date on all vaccinations. You can find Abby our Main Campus, 241 Steedly Drive.

Snow is a tiny 2-year-old brown tabby girl with a big heart. She arrived at the Kentucky Humane Society in September, and she’s holding on to hope that one day she will find her special human. Snow may seem shy, but she quickly warms up to a kind face. She’ll offer you her head to scratch, her chin to rub, and soon enough, she’ll come in for the big finish of snuggles. Snow would prefer to live someplace quiet without too much drama. She is spayed, micro-chipped and up-to-date on her vaccinations. Get cozy this winter with a purrfect Snow cat!

Meet Snow at the Kentucky Humane Society’s Dixie Feeders Supply adoption center, 10948 Dixie Hwy.

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