We all have our beloved Derby traditions. As those famous two minutes draw closer, it is our intentions at The Voice-Tribune to serve as your ultimate guide to making the most of our city’s celebrated season. Whether it is planning your party, festival and track schedule, wardrobe or transportation, don’t miss an issue to stay informed on what’s in, what’s out and what can’t-be-missed. This week, we offer you a roadmap on how to “Derby Like a Local,” with an overview of some of the diverse and entertaining events that lead us to the first Saturday in May. Some are time-honored traditions, and others are new and innovative offerings. Together, they are the perfect way to sip, stargaze and socially share your Derby experience with friends and family.

LETTER

It’s difficult to have a conversation about preparing for Derby that does not include fashion and beauty, and we don’t intend to. This week we present “Burgeoning Behavior,” a spring fashion spread that will comfortably and stylishly get you through every event on your calendar, both casual and chic. The streets of Old Louisville came alive with spring blooms just as bare shoulders begged for sunny skies.

This week also serves as the first in our series of skincare and makeup tips called “Beauty & the Blogger.” To kick off the series, we enlisted Bella Kueber of Bella of Louisville who, like many of us, manages her media and most of her life through the convenience of her phone. Erica McDowell of SKYN LOUNGE warns of the latest potential hazard known as “Tech Neck.” Bella was willing to test Tonya Abeln some of the latest correction techniques so that we could document how to avoid this seemingly unavoidable beauty pitfall as well as try some of spring’s hottest makeup trends. Stay tuned throughout the month for more tips from some of the city’s most recognizable faces and writers.

Editor

Of course, we don’t just preview these events — we attend and document all of our favorite moments so that they can be relived and shared through the pages of The Voice-Tribune. I love helping you plan your Derby, but the best part of my job is bearing witness to your Derby memories.

A Compassionate Circus

By Sara Giza

S

ince May 2015, CirqueLouis has been bringing the beauty of the circus arts to our local community with breathtaking performances. Not resting on entertainment alone, they’ve spearheaded Louisville’s first social circus program: CirqueCompassion.

“CirqueCompassion was part of our initial plans for CirqueLouis,” says Executive Director Jessica Marquardt. “We knew we wanted to use our passions and talents to serve Louisville, and we immediately crafted a social outreach branch.” The team spent nearly a year doing research to ensure they were moving intentionally and in the right direction.

CirqueCompassion is one part of their outreach activities, which aim to serve the community by teaching circus arts in conjunction with physical, emotional and psychological development. To date, they’ve had a huge focus on bringing the arts to children who reside in the Portland neighborhood. They’ve hosted classes at LoveCity and the Shawnee Boys and Girls Club.

They are currently in the process of setting up space in Louisville Visual Arts and are in communication with several schools to bring the programming to more spaces.

As CirqueCompassion grows, the team

M A R C H 2 3 , 2 0 1 7 • V O I C E -T R I B U N E . C O M

TVT.indd 10

has seen an overwhelming amount of support. “I think when people first hear that we’re using circus arts to improve people’s lives, they’re not really sure what to think,” explains Marquardt. “But, when they see the program in action or hear that our goal includes measurable outcomes for each student, it starts to click for them. We’ve had a great response from our students because there is something in the circus for everyone.”

The classes often start out with simple skills such as plate spinning and trust building activities like acro-balancing. This fosters teamwork and a sense of community among the students. According to Marquardt, skills are generally selected based on how long the program will be running, who the students are and what the goals are for the students.

Yet, students involved in most programs can look forward to learning basic ball juggling, diabolo, spinning plates, acro-balancing and basic poi.

“We always say that ‘circus is for everyone,’ so each program structure is a little different. Depending on the length of the program and who is in the class, we might also work on manipulation props, stilting, walking globe, rola bola and more,” Marquardt says, noting that the possibilities are endless.

They also wrap up each class with a game that incorporates fitness, teamwork and minimal competition. The team believes strongly in community before competition.

For low income neighborhoods and populations, the program provides a unique experience free of charge. “If a program is held

10

under our CirqueCompassion branch, the goal is for the program to be free for students,” explains Marquardt. “This means that either the school or organization pays for the programming, or we reach out and find grants to fill the funding.”

When it comes to the benefits of the circus arts for children, the possibilities are endless. “Circus arts feed physical growth, whether that be development of fine and gross motor skills or muscle growth. They improve emotional and social health by building community and confidence,” says Marquardt of just some of the benefits, adding that circus arts meet an individual where they already are, while providing both a healthy challenge and a sense of accomplishment. “I have had students who are incredible athletes and I have had students who were not athletic at all –and they both felt success and accomplishment, even when standing next to each other,” she says.

When she is not fulfilling her director duties or instructing, Marquardt is busy practicing and performing. For the past three years, she’s trained in the aerial arts and works with silks, aerial rope, static trapeze and aerial anchor. She also practices acro-balancing, fire arts and stilt walking.

But her passion for serving others still shines.

“I saw how the circus shaped and changed my life and I want to share that sense of accomplishment with others. Even if they don’t latch on for the long run, I want to know that I’ve spread joy, challenge and satisfaction in each of my students.” VT For more information, go to cirquelouis.com.

COPPER & KINGS AMERICAN BRANDY CO. LAUNCHES “BLUE SKY MINING” MUSCAT BRANDY Louisville-based Copper & Kings American Brandy Co. is launching limited release artisanal seven-year-old pure Muscat Brandy – Blue Sky Mining. Matured for 30 months in a single Kentucky hogshead barrel, the non-chill filtered spirit is unadulterated by any post distillation infusion of boisé (oak flavor or infusion) or caramel color for a natural color and natural flavor.

Blue Sky Mining will be launched March 24 with an event that matches the imagination and creativity of the liquid at Copper & Kings’ Butchertown distillery. Patrons will enjoy unique aerial arts performed by Louisville’s own aerialists, Suspend, who will also be serving elevated cocktails. The event also includes live music from Exacta Cube and bottle signings by local label artist AngryBlue.

The $10 entry fee includes a Blue Sky Mining taste. The distillery will also open for after dark tours and food will be served along with a cash bar.

Approximately 600 bottles (375mLeach) will be produced and sold at the distillery and by request in a selection of superlative bars and liquor stores across the USA. The original fine art is painted by local Louisville artist AngryBlue.

“We are privileged to live in America,” said founder Joe Heron. “Blue Sky Mining is meant to reflect and celebrate what really makes America great – the imagination, the invention, that unique ability to dream big and then to actually mine that big blue sky of ideas and make beautiful things happen.”

LOUISVILLE NATIVE CROWNED DERBY BURGER CHAMPION TWO YEARS IN A ROW For the second year in a row, Maurice Williams of Louisville is taking home the title of Derby Burger Champion, in the Sixth Annual “Derby Burger Challenge” sponsored by Kentucky Beef Council and coordinated by the Kentucky Derby Festival. Williams’ recipe for his SmoFried Café Burger was selected as the overall winner after a cook-off earlier this week at the Kroger in Middletown. It features ground beef covered in coffee and cocoa powder, provolone cheese and pickled onions, all served on a toasted pretzel bun.

“I wanted to put together something conceptual and simple. Fortunately the burger just seemed to work the first time I made it,” said Williams. “I didn’t expect to win the competition a second time. I knew that it was attainable, but I also knew how great some of the other recipes would be. I am beyond thankful.”

THORNTONS STORES NOW SELLING TICKETS TO RIDE The WAVE 3 News Abbey Road on the River has partnered with Thorntons to make it more convenient for Beatles fans to buy their tickets to ride.

MARY ALICE HADLEY PRIZE FOR VISUAL ART CALL FOR APPLICATIONS ANNOUNCED FOR 2017 Louisville Visual Art (LVA) and the Community Foundation of Louisville (CFL) are pleased to announce a call for applications for the 2017 Mary Alice Hadley Prize for Visual Art. The Hadley Prize recognizes artists in the Louisville area who demonstrate a commitment to and potential for growth within their chosen medium in the visual arts.

Susan Barry, Community Foundation CEO, states: “The Community Foundation of Louisville and Louisville Visual Art are honored to present the fifth annual Mary Alice Hadley Prize for Visual Art. The Hadley Prize is unique in that it is designed to support an enrichment experience that will help the winning artist pursue their personal and professional ambitions and achieve their full artistic potential.” An “enrichment experience” can be defined as a tipping point for an artist that will enhance their professional capabilities in a tangible way.

One prize of $5,000 will be awarded at a public event at Louisville Visual Art in June 2017. The deadline for entries is April 24, 2017. Applicants and interested community members can find additional information online at louisvillevisualart.org/hadley. The required application for the 2017 Hadley Prize is available at the same site.

LOUISVILLE FREE PUBLIC LIBRARY’S SOPHIE MAIER NAMED A 2017 LIBRARY JOURNAL MOVER & SHAKER Sophie Maier, the Louisville Free Public Library’s community outreach coordinator at Iroquois Library, has been named a 2017 “Mover and Shaker” in the library industry by the national publication Library Journal.

In its March issue, Library Journal recognizes 52 outstanding professionals dedicated to making their libraries – and communities – stronger. Sophie Maier was selected for this honor for her exemplary service in acting as a “Change Agent,” connecting Louisville’s immigrant and refugee communities with the library and its services.

LFPL Director Jim Blanton noticed Maier’s longtime commitment to making the library accessible and nominated her for the award. “Sophie appears to know and be known by nearly everyone in Louisville, particularly within the international community,” he said.

“To people from around the world who now call Louisville home, Sophie is the face of LFPL.” NEW PET RESORT FEATURING INDOOR DOG PARK & DOG POOL LAUNCHES IN LOUISVILLE A Louisville-area company earlier this week announced the opening of a new 15,000-square-foot pet boarding, daycare, grooming and training resort called the Pet Station Country Club.

The Pet Station Country Club amenities are unlike anything in the region and include a 4,000-square-foot indoor dog park complete with a custom-engineered obstacle course. The park is temperature-controlled year-round and laid with K9Grass, which is speciallydesigned for canine comfort, and harnesses anti-microbial protection technology. When the weather is good, dogs can move between the indoor park and outdoor yards at their leisure.

11 TVT.indd 11

Another unique feature is a 12-by-25-foot beach-style, zero-entry mineral pool just for dogs. The pool’s sloped entrance recreates natural water environments and its mineral properties are easy on dog’s skin. Swimming is especially beneficial to older dogs or those recovering from surgeries that cannot exercise without aches and pains. A 30-minute swim begins at $25. Pool parties and swim nights are also available.

“The Pet Station Country Club sets a new standard for excellence in pet care,” said Scott Burnley, co-owner and certified canine trainer and behavior specialist. “Our approach is to provide a top-class facility along with a knowledgeable and caring staff.”

LOUISVILLE PUBLIC MEDIA RECEIVES $100,000 GRANT FROM PNC Louisville Public Media announced earlier this week that it has received a $100,000 grant from PNC for classical programming on 90.5 WUOL Classical Louisville. The funds will allow for expanded education outreach to foster and develop active participation in the arts through classical music.

The grant will help 90.5 WUOL to broaden its presence across a variety of digital platforms, building more original programming to serve diverse audiences, engage with the community and expand educational programs to better engage Louisville youth – especially from both minority and low-income neighborhoods – in classical music.

“Not only are the arts one of the strongest contributors to the economy of a community, those who participate in a music program perform better in non-music classes, achieve higher test scores and become positive influences in society,” said Director of Radio Daniel Gilliam. “As a radio station, we are uniquely positioned to reach more people with classical music.”

LOUISVILLE AREA HOME SALES DOWN 4.5% AND PRICES UP IN FEBRUARY VS. 2016 WITH LOW INVENTORY The Greater Louisville Association of Realtors® (GLAR) reported sales down 4.5% compared to February 2016.

Sales totaled 1,054 this February versus 1,104 last year.

Year-to-date (YTD) sales were down just 0.8%, coming off of a strong January. With the lower inventory, the average price YTD was up 8.1% and the median price was up 8.5%.

In Jefferson County, the average price in February 2017 was $191,281 and the median was $155,000. For all MLS areas, the inventory of available properties was 21% lower than at the same time last year. In Jefferson County, the inventory of homes and condos for sale was also 23.4% lower than February 2016. Inventory in Oldham and Bullitt Counties was down 16% and 20%, respectively.

GLAR releases monthly statistics mid-month to allow for the most accurate and comprehensive reporting possible.

Local REALTORS report their residential sales totals to GLAR, and publishing the statistics mid-month allows for the activity that takes place late in the month to be counted. This ensures that the totals reported show the truest depiction of the local housing market.

GLAR President Allison Bartholomew commented that, “Multiple offer situations for starter and mid-level homes continue to be the norm. Many first-time buyers continue to make offers on more than one home before finding a seller to accept their offer. As was the case last month, homes in higher price ranges are selling at a more normal pace.”

In a radio interview on 93.9 The Ville When something like that happens early on in the season, you call it a teaching point or part of the learning process. When it’s a consistent sequence of events throughout conference play and all the way into the conference tournament, it’s both a trend and a staple of your team. The only hope that it’ll be fixed is if it happens on the fly during the NCAA tournament, and that rarely, if ever, occurs.

It didn’t occur for Louisville last Sunday. The Cardinals carried an eight-point lead over red-hot Michigan into the locker room at halftime, extended that lead to nine in the second half, watched it all slip away when the Wolverines started making shots and they stopped, and then saw their season dissolve in front of them as they couldn’t make the plays necessary to stage a full rally in the final minute.

“It’s just tough when you lose the same way in big games many times,” said sophomore guard Donovan Mitchell after the game. “We had the effort that was there. We just had to focus in when they focused in. We prepared for those crunch-time moments all the time in practice. Now that we’ve been through them on the biggest stage, it’ll definitely be something we look back on and say, ‘This is what we have to do.’”

Blockers Stop Shockers

hen this young Kentucky team was racing up and down the court on its way to a bunch of 90-plus point games in November and December (including three straight 100-point games), John Calipari insisted this could turn out to be his best defensive team.

De’Aaron Fox and Isaiah Briscoe could drive the lane. Or that Wichita State’s burly defenders had to lay off Bam just a little bit.

And so Kentucky is headed for Memphis and the Sweet Sixteen. And the UCLA Bruins. Many will make much of the revenge factor – paying the Bruins back for the five-point loss in December at Rupp.

Everyone tried to stir up the revenge factor for the Wichita State game too, reminding the world how Kentucky had halted Wichita’s undefeated season in 2014, in that year’s first weekend.

My feeling is, this is the win-or-gohome NCAA tournament. Nobody needs a revenge factor or a reminder of a previous loss at this point of the season. Nobody should anyway.

Nobody simply wants to go home. That should be enough. VT

There are a lot of kids that will look up to her and want to be the next Lindsey Duvall. She’s too young to understand that now, but two or three years, she will be able to. So I think that is important. You always want to raise the bar for the next generation of players, and I think she has done that.”

He trained under Dr. Charles Runels and Dr. Deb Sherman, some of the most respected names in aesthetics. Bateman’s expertise in advanced injectable techniques is so admired that other clinics and med spas often hire him to train their staff.

Michael Booth, an operation manager at Myo, says that if you’re considering any kind of cosmetic procedure, the practitioner’s qualifications should be your primary concern.

“We always say, ‘Look at their track record.

Read the reviews online. See about what this person is doing on a regular basis.’”

Bateman has been practicing for more than nine years. He previously worked at a hospital. Over the years, he’s taken countless hours of continuing education, including highly advanced courses. In his downtime, he researches new information and technology.

“He’s always wanting to take everything to the next level,” Booth says.

Julie Stephenson, a medical aesthetic practitioner, focuses on medical grade peels, laser technology and treatments involving the integrity of skin. Stephenson trained directly under Pamela Hill, world renowned aesthetic educator and author of book used by aestheticians around the world.

Additional staff include Dr. Karen Johnson and two medical assistants.

When patients come to Myo with an aspect of their face or body they don’t like, the med spa’s staff correct the cause, not just the symptom. That approach ensures that patients still look like themselves once the procedure is complete.

“They’re always so scared that they’re going to look fake or plastic or frozen,” says Booth.

“But with what (Bateman) does, it’s a very natural look. It’s a very beautiful look. He tells patients all the time, ‘I’m just going to make

you look like the best version of yourself.’”

At your consultation, you can expect the Myo staff to spend more than an hour listening to your specific concerns and understanding exactly what you’re wanting.

“We don’t do one-size-fits-all treatments,” says Booth. “Everything is so tailored to the individual, and our treatments are as unique as the person themselves.”

The result is that day after day, patients can’t get over how much better they look.

“I mean, the beauty’s already there,” says Booth. “We’re just giving them the ability to see that.”

Booth recently received an email from a patient who’d had a Vampire FaceLift. She’d smiled for the first time in a long time, the email said, when she looked at herself in the mirror.

“She said something to the effect that it was the first time in a very long time that she felt beautiful, and that it just gave her so much joy.”

Another patient, who’d heard about Bateman’s expertise, flew from across the country so he could correct the effects of her Bell’s palsy.

“Her reaction – there wasn’t a dry eye in the house,” says Booth. “Her reaction was just so emotional and so through the roof. She just could not get over how he was able to restore what Bell’s palsy stole from her.”

Derby Time

oing to the Kentucky Derby this year? Salzman Cosmetic Surgery and Spa, led by Dr. Marc J. Salzman, FACS has some recommendations that you can do now so that you can put your best face forward as you watch your horse race to the finish line.

Expression and smile lines such as the “11’s” between the eyebrows or excessive forehead lines can be rendered less noticeable by adding small injections of Botox into the offending muscles. With less tension, the overlying skin will smooth out. Similarly, the smile folds around the mouth and chin can be filled in with a myriad of facial injectable products. It is recommended to have these treatments at least two weeks prior to any events to see best results.

Derby events are oftentimes photographed for families and publications and everyone wants their best image. When light shines on a sun damaged skin, the pore size and rough texture disperses, rather than reflects, the light, giving skin a dull appearance. One of the newest breakthroughs in skin texture improvement and safe for all skin types is a treatment called Vivace. Vivace uses 36 needles as small as a human hair that are robotically inserted into the skin whereby heat, in the form of radiofrequency waves, is deposited at different levels.

In response, the skin produces more collagen, thereby compacting the pore size and tightening the skin. Total treatment time is approximately two hours. The skin is numbed for 40 minutes with a topical cream and the face, neck and/or chest is treated with the Vivace handpiece with several passes at different depths to allow for maximum

heat deposition and improve the results. Downtime is usually no more than a day, where the skin is slightly red.

The cumulative sun and environmental toxin exposure takes a toll on how skin looks, termed photodamaged. The youthful, reflective, uniform color of the skin is replaced with a coarse textured, brownish, discolored, dull appearance. The brown and red discolorations of the face can be treated with a white light that has been filtered to only expose the skin to beneficial wavelengths that improve the discoloration, known as Broad Band Light (BBL). The treatment involves application of light emitted with a crystal that touches the skin, providing some cooling effect for burn protection and reducing the discomfort. These BBL treatments take about an hour and have a typical downtime of 24 hours where the skin is red. A few treatments, spaced a month apart gives the best results. One of the nice effects of these treatments done on a regular basis over several years, is that it has been clinically shown to make the skin surface look better, as well as, help produce proteins that emulate a younger person’s, known as Forever Young BBL. The ultimate pre-derby skin improvement is a treatment regimen that Salzman Spa calls the Trifecta. Owing to the Louisville racing tradition, this procedure involves all three treatments done in the same day: Vivace, BBL and Halo laser. The Halo is a fractional laser that uses two types of light energy to remove only outermost layer of the skin and add heat to the dermis with destruction. Downtimes are still a day or so but the results are additive from all the modalities.

Salzman Cosmetic Surgery and Spa is conveniently located at 4702 Chamberlain Lane, Louisville, Kentucky, 40241. You can schedule by calling (502)4255200. Happy Derby and may your horse win! •

A drive in the country took us to the private, elegant, white marble Orchid Country Club for lunch. From there, we visited the Kranji War Cemetery and Memorial, which was dedicated in 1946 in memory of the soldiers, sailors and airmen who fought valiantly against the Japanese invading forces during WWII. The site was originally an army munitions depot before it became a POW camp and the burial ground for the Woodlands Military Hospital during the Japanese Occupation of Singapore (1942-1945). After the war, the decision was made to exhume the bodies and move the cemeteries from Changi, Buona Vista and the other Singapore POW camps to Kranji, which was turned into a military cemetery. Almost 200,000 soldiers are buried there.

Dedicated in 1946 and maintained by the Commonwealth War Graves Commission, the Karnji site comprises the State Cemetery of Singapore, the War Cemetery, Singapore Memorial and the Commonwealth Cemetery.

The central architectural structure of the Singapore Memorial was designed by Colin St. Clair Oakes in homage to the combined forces that defended Singapore. The 13 columns represent the Army; the roof, in the shape of the wing of an airplane, represents the Air Force, and the structure that sits atop the roof, resembling the conning tower of a submarine, the Navy.

It would have been fun to spend more time in Singapore, but Port Klang, where we will dock to go into Kuala Lampur the next day, awaited. So away we sailed, looking forward to seeing one of the world’s tallest buildings, the Petronas Towers. VT

SPOTLIGHT

Louisville City Football Club

Since it launched play in 2015, Louisville City Football Club – Kentucky’s only professional soccer team – has seen exponential growth in national accolades and fan enthusiasm. To learn more about this unparalleled enterprise and get the latest on the rumors of Louisville City FC’s own stadium, we chatted with spokesman Johnathan Lintner.

What kind of growth has Louisville City FC and professional soccer in general seen in Louisville since launching?

We find there’s a pretty high rate of people who, once we get them out to one game, say they definitely want to come back. Before LouCity, soccer here mostly meant dragging lawn chairs to the edge of a youth field. Showcasing the atmosphere we create for soccer – in a baseball field, no less – has really opened some eyes. Our first Louisville native, duPont Manual grad Richard Ballard, signed this past offseason.

Now that kids have a local pro team they can aspire to play for, I don’t think Richard will be our last local star.

charitable causes wearing their purple. It’s a great endorsement for our club and makes an impact on newcomers at games.

Are players getting any kind of national recognition?

Our 32-team league, the USL, is a mix of independent clubs like LouCity (that operate without an affiliate) and those that are owned or run by Major League Soccer franchises. We’re proud to note that last year, LouCity advanced to the USL’s Eastern Conference Final – essentially its final four – and was the final independent club left standing. That earned our players plenty of national attention. We’re known for winning and drawing solid crowds.

What kind of growth do you hope to see LouCity undergo in the next few years?

To add on to the last response, I think our next leap is to show the die-hard UofL and UK fans there’s another team worth backing in their community. I have friends and family who I’ve never been able to attend a game with, aside from a few awkward experiences. There’s just no rooting for the rival. LouCity presents that opportunity, and I liken the tailgating and scene in our stands to a college football game. By the way, mixing red and blue yields purple.

What aspects do the fans bring to the club?

Without supporters, there would be no club. Soccer teams and their fans have a unique bond, to a point where the relationship between the two doesn’t mean just getting season tickets and showing up to games (but we really like that part in the front office). Large numbers of fans have social media accounts dedicated to LouCity.

They gather to support the local colleges or

What does the success about LouCity say about Louisville?

Not that this is news to anyone, but our city really gets behind great local things.

And I think it’s safe to say at this point the whole stigma of soccer being a boring game is going away. Our crowds definitely skew toward millennials willing to try new things and families looking for a relatively cheap entertainment option. More and more, we’re also seeing the crowd that engages

Any exciting goals on the immediate horizon?

Everyone’s always asking about the stadium. It’s a high priority for our ownership to get that plan in place. They work on a weekly basis with the city, and potential locations are being narrowed down. In the meantime, though, we need to continue showing there’s a need for LouCity’s own home by filling Slugger Field. The rest will take care of itself. VT

The Making of Athletes

By Zach Burrell

I

’m greeted by Tony Duckwall, co-owner of Edge Sports Performance, on a cold March morning outside King Louie’s Sports Complex in Middletown. It’s a scene almost lifted from fiction: The grizzled trainer ushers me into the massive training facility to start the day while the morning fog still lingers.

The facility has two indoor turfed fields designed for anything from lacrosse to arena football, in addition to a sports field outside. The training section of the building is lined with multiple lifting racks and free weights, adjacent to a sprint track for running drills and cardio workouts.

Today, I’m observing a private training session with one of his athletes, Tobijah Hughley, as he prepares for NFL Pro Day later this month. Duckwall knows a thing or two about working with pro athletes; his clients have amassed over $35 million in scholarships and contracts and won 16 All-American titles as well as multiple professional football conference titles. But on this day, his sole focus is on Hughley.

Before he begins anything, Duckwall subjects his trainee to a series of stretches and warm-ups, while a small Bluetooth speaker helps get Hughley out of the morning grogginess and into the zone.

One of the main goals of Edge Sports Performance is to make sure its athletes don’t get hurt, plain and simple. With workouts like CrossFit and P90X having become more popular in recent years, Duckwall stresses to me the importance of having a trained professional help with workouts to correct form, ensure safety and provide structure. Boasting a low injury rate, Duckwall hasn’t had an athlete suffer any major injuries in over six years while here in Louisville, and not a single ACL injury in four years, one of the most injury-prone areas of the body.

When Duckwall feels Hughley is ready to get pumped up, we move to the bench press. Between sets while watching Hughley lift upward of 225 pounds with relative ease, Duckwall explains the mission of

Edge Sports Performance.

He has a simple belief that many trainers often overlook: To become a great player, you first have to become a great athlete. “It’s important to start young and learn the fundamentals of fitness first,” emphasizes Duckwall. He offers classes to young sports enthusiasts called Speed School, which teaches basic body awareness and movement mechanics as opposed to focusing on a particular sport or event. Once they’re older, they move into the NXT level courses, which help them prepare for high school and college sports.

While most of the drills and workouts are geared toward budding athletes and elite team players, some are simply geared toward anyone that wants to get in the best shape of their life. Edge Sports Performance has a series of adult training boot camps and classes that apply the same fundamentals and techniques used in their athlete training programs to anyone who wants to train hard and stay safe. Edge offers programs that allow fitness enthusiasts to work out with an unlimited amount of classes, ranging from early bird classes at 5:30 a.m.

to after work evening workouts.

What’s most important to Duckwall, above all the maxed bench press numbers and shorter sprint times, is helping his trainees reach their goals. As I watch Duckwall train Hughley, I saw more than a trainer helping a client lift enormously heavy weights. I saw a smart, experienced veteran help his friend do what he needs to succeed.

ella Kueber is the honest, frank, funny and fabulous face behind Bella of Louisville, where she blogs her way through life, love and Louisville. Her willingness to share her own experiences and vulnerabilities have garnered her a following that seeks positivity, empowerment and, it must be said, a little bit of glitter to sprinkle on their day.

Bella, of course, means beautiful, and if you follow her blog, you know she is all about glowing and shining light on others, so it seemed only natural to try one of spring’s biggest makeup trends on her — the glow.

Erica McDowell, owner of SKYN LOUNGE says the key to achieving this look is to use highlighter on your cheekbones by putting product on your fingertips to accent points of the face that would naturally get sunlight.

Bella’s look was achieved using all products from the ZenSKYN cosmetic collection available at SKYN LOUNGE and online. A Mineral Photo Touch Foundation was used, which helps diffuse imperfections while smoothing out fine lines and wrinkles. A Pressed Pigments Powder and Baked Blush in Petal helped lay the perfect natural foundation.

We don’t all have bountiful brows like Bella, but Erica says you can fake it by brushing brows upward, then applying a soft powder to fill in the sparse areas.

She advises using a half shade lighter than your hair color. Comb through one more time to soften the look.

“Your digital addictions may cause unexpected premature wrinkles on your neck from constantly looking down at your phone, “ warns McDowell. “On Bella, we used Carita’s Genesis of Youth Neck and Decollete Firming Serum Mask. Simply apply a thin layer to neck and chest and leave on for 20 minutes. For best results, combine with LED light therapy.”

As a social media manager for recognizable brands like Topp’t Handcrafted Pizza + Chopped Salads, the newly re-branded NOVA Salon and the Unbrideled Eve Derby Gala, Bella’s job requires her to keep large audiences informed from the convenience of her phone.

Flying Axes to Bring a Fresh Experience to the Region

By Minda Honey

F

or the last decade, axe-throwing has been gaining popularity in Canada. Now, Flying Axes is opening the first axe-throwing venue in the region on Clay Street near the Extreme Park and just minutes from NuLu. The Flying Axes team is Mike Brown of LEAP digital marketing agency along with Forest Giant’s Dave Durand, Jon Shaw and Jesse Lewis and US Chia’s Zack Pennington, who gave me an early look at the new lumberjack central.

Flying Axes has eight cages and each cage has two targets. Parties of four to six can reserve the cages for one to two hour sessions – online booking is available now. The venue is currently 21 and up and is in the process of acquiring its liquor license. Pennington says, “We’d like to feature local Louisville beers as well as beers from around the state. And we also want to have your classic American favorites.” Currently, they’re focusing on cans, and some local beers under consideration are Braxton, Against the Grain, West Sixth and Goodwood.

Pennington wouldn’t describe himself

as a big sports guy, but he still enjoys axe-throwing because “it’s more of a game, but it’s still really physical. And that’s what I like about it. It’s kind of taking the fun of something like darts or bowling and making it more badass. The ‘thunk’ of the axe hitting the wood is really, really cathartic and it’s a very visceral experience.”

I’d have to agree. Like most things that require a little bit of skill and fair bit of aim, you’ll need some practice to get the hang of it. It did remind me of bowling in many ways because it’s about form and using the right amount of strength. Each cage will come with a coach who’ll help you and your friends improve your throws and keep score of your games for you. Pennington gave me three tips for better throwing: • Square your shoulders and direct your chest toward the target: “We teach people to throw two-handed because it forces you to throw straight.”

• “Watch your throws,” he advises, “because you can see based on how your axe lands what you need to do differently.

Whether you need to scoot forward or backward, whether you need to let go earlier or later.”

• It’s all about finesse: “You don’t have to throw [the axe] super hard.” Throw the axe without enough oomph and it won’t reach the target; throw it with too much and it’s likely to bounce out of the wood target – and your axe must stick for you to score.

Even when my axe clattered to the

50

ground instead of holding firm in the target, I was having fun and eager to throw for several more rounds. I could absolutely see myself at Flying Axes with friends – in fact, a friend visiting from California in April has insisted I take her while she’s in town. Pennington envisions Flying Axes as a first stop on a night out on the town or as a regular after-work hangout spot. Beginning this summer, they’ll be offering leagues.

Although the axe blades are dull, you’ll need to wear closed-toe shoes while at Flying Axes, and coaches will help with safety and other tips. For example, instead of high-fives to congratulate your friends, it’s customary to tap axe blades.

Pennington believes Louisville will embrace Flying Axes because “what we’re seeing is that a lot people want to have real experiences. You know, everything is an app these days, everything is a video game, and even though we’ve incorporated some of that technology into the experience, at the end of the day, you’re throwing wood and metal at another piece of wood. It’s a very hands-on, very real experience.” Flying Axes will feature digital scorekeeping, and there are plans in the near future to develop a leaderboard. VT Flying Axes Opening April 2017 146 N.

Southern Satisfaction at a Hidden Gem

By Mariah Kline

T

here are countless restaurants to choose from in the Highlands, but the Paristown Pointe area is often overlooked. But the small neighborhood that’s just minutes from downtown has a hidden gem that’s waiting to seriously surprise you.

Brooke & Billy’s, formerly known as the Coach Lamp, serves bites, bourbons and brews like no other place around. Open for both lunch and dinner, the casual American restaurant has everything from burgers and fried chicken to salads and sandwiches.

The restaurant is located on Vine Street in the former Coach Lamp building, a significant structure that’s over 150 years old.

The building has been beautifully preserved and now designed to suit the style at Brooke & Billy’s, featuring an impressive mural, exposed brick and shelves filled with bourbon. Guests can sit in their expansive dining room or on their outdoor patio during the warmer months.

Brooke & Billy’s is looking forward to sharing their talents (and their new menu) as the neighborhood continues to grow.

Plans for a large development in Paristown Pointe have been announced and will include an auditorium for The Kentucky Center for the Performing Arts, a new Goodwood Brewery and an expanded Louisville Stoneware facility. While planning is still in the early stages, B&B owner Bill Darling is excited to welcome new customers to the area.

“I can’t wait to see how the neighborhood grows and look forward to welcoming some new guests,” says Darling.

Darling has been in the restaurant business for nearly 17 years, and has learned several lessons along the way. The Coach Lamp was featured on Food Network’s Restaurant Impossible in 2013, and with the help of Chef Christine Williams, they’ve re-branded and reinvigorated the beloved eatery.

Their menu features a variety of appetizers, burgers and sandwiches for all appetites. All of their ingredients are made in house, and they’re proud to serve certified angus beef. Their new menu, which will go into effect very soon, will include dishes such as fish tacos, New York strip and red snapper. They’ll also be revisiting some options from their previous menus by adding creole shrimp and other Cajun-inspired plates.

Moreover, they’re adding a creamy garlic pasta with spinach and mushrooms as a hearty vegetarian option.

“We want to add some more substantial entrees and go back to our roots with a few Cajun dishes,” Darling affirms.

The very satisfying red snapper will be available with the new menu and will certainly not disappoint. Served over a bed of white rice and topped with cooked asparagus, the flaky yet moist fish surpasses all expectations of a traditional fish and rice dinner.

For those interested in a lighter meal, Brooke & Billy’s also has several appetizers and salads to choose from. Their wedge salad features a creamy homemade bleu cheese dressing that’s covered in fresh tomatoes and bacon, making for a pleasantly crunchy dish.

For an appetizer, try out the spring rolls, stuffed with Asian-style pork and served with a Thai chili dipping sauce with the perfect hint of spice.

51

Chef Christine, who attended Sullivan University’s Baking & Pastry School, changes up the dessert menu daily, but guarantees something delectable every time. Her favorites include red velvet cake and black forest cake.

And no great meal is complete without the right drink to accompany it. Brooke & Billy’s offers a large assortment of wines and craft beers, but the main attraction is their vast selection of bourbon. Michter’s, Elmer T. Lee and Buffalo Trace are just a few you can sample.

“We have the best bourbon bar not on the Bourbon Trail,” asserts Darling.

With a delightful atmosphere, great food and a bourbon selection like no other, this local haunt is definitely worth your visit. Pull up a chair at the bar, order a strong drink and get ready for an amazingly satisfying meal.

Brooke & Billy’s can’t wait to have you. VT Brooke & Billy’s 751 Vine St. 502.583.9165 brookeandbillys.com

What It Means to ‘Be Okay’

By Minda Honey

“I

t feels really special,” says Basil Kreimendahl on his return to Louisville to debut his new play “We’re Gonna Be Okay” at the 41st Humana Festival of New American Plays at Actors Theatre. “Humana Festival is something I apply to every year. Because I worked [at Actors] and it’s my hometown, I would feel emotional every year about it. So it’s extra special that this play happened here.” Kreimendahl also adds, “This play was written by a trans guy, and Actors Theatre supported that.

And they also supported me making all the bathrooms on the rehearsal floor gender neutral.”

“We’re Gonna Be Okay” follows two American families during the 1962 Cuban Missile Crisis and the truths that surface when they descend into their shared bomb shelter. Sul, Mag and their daughter Deanna are a blue-collar family, and their neighbors Efran, Leena, and their son Jake live very comfortably on Efran’s suit-and-tie salary. “In this play, what I was really trying to explore was expressiveness,” Kreimendahl insists.

“Because Leena and Efran ... are very able to talk around something and intellectualize everything. And Sul and Mag, they’re more feeling.”

PHOTO BY BILL BRYMER

TVT.indd 53

The play applies a lot of laughter and a light hand to issues of class, traditional gender roles and sexuality – the same issues present-day Americans are still trying to navigate.

“All of the things that Efran is talking about, about fear of the world changing socially around him and fear of being left behind, is a lot of what we heard during the election.

“This fear that seems to come from white men mostly of them losing out somehow if other people get. And as Efran’s wife is embracing this social change, he’s having to deal with what that means for him and he talks about .. ‘those forces out there that are stronger than me.’ Social change happens.”

Of the political nature of the play, the p;playwright relates, “I don’t think I’m very heavy-handed politically. I don’t serve it to you easy, but it is very political to me and of the politics happening now.”

Kreimendahl says of Jake and Deanna, “Obviously, they’re both queer. There’s a lot of gender stuff going on for both of them.

Especially when we finally get to the sex.”

Kreimendahl laughs and adds, “We called it sex combat in rehearsals. ... They’re really exploring all of these very gendered positions with each and finding the positions that feel most right.”

“We’re Gonna Be Okay” moved many audience members enough to approach Kreimendahl to thank him for his work. “This was the most heartening to me, that all these young queer people after that opening night came up to me thanking me for putting queer

53

people on stage and they were having an emotional response to the word ‘weird.’” Kreimendahl explains that when you’re “growing up queer, you get called weird a lot.” The play does reclaims the word when Jake exclaims with excitement he’s “just weird!”

While Jake and Deanna are genderqueer, Kreimendahl makes it clear, “‘We’re Gonna Be Okay’ is not a trans narrative. ... It’s hard to separate my perspective on the world from my identity.” As Kreimendahl notes, identity affects perspective: “I do think it matters. There is a way that I’m moving in the world that shows things to me that other people might not see.” He says, “I have a desire to share that. And it doesn’t mean that every story is about a trans person, but it does mean every story is being written by a trans person.”

Kreimendahl says of the transformation that takes place in each one of his characters while in the bomb shelter, “Something was revealed down there for everybody. Something was changed. So, I feel like whatever they do, they’ll never be the same when they leave there. And whether or not that’s internal or external I don’t know.”

Alongside Kreimendahl, the excellent cast and directing also deserves praise for bringing “We’re Gonna Be Okay” to life. VT “We’re Gonna Be Okay” Through April 9 Actors Theatre of Louisville actorstheatre.org

The Perfect Poster

By Remy Sisk

I

f you’ve been inside any one of Louisville’s many, diverse art boutiques, you’ve undoubtedly seen the work of Ron Jasin. Either on display at Revelry or perhaps hanging in a friend’s home, his work has become ubiquitous in the city, quirky prints that seem to effortlessly capture the singular spirit of Louisville.

He is, of course, most well-known for his neighborhood prints – colorful works that highlight landmarks and business in certain areas of Louisville – but this year, Jasin had a new challenge: to create the poster for the 2017 Kentucky Derby Festival.

Inspired by the pop art movement of the mid-20th century, Jasin recollects his first foray into the neighborhood prints as being in 2011 or 2012, when he created his iconic Highlands print, which he has incidentally just recently finished redesigning. His process is to draw the neighborhoods digitally and then silkscreen them by hand.

“I’ve always considered myself more of a commercial artist than a fine artist,” Jasin shares. His other work consists primarily of musician gig posters, graphic design and hand print work, though he admits it’s the neighborhood posters that have elevated him to a more immediately recognizable figure on the local arts scene. However, their genesis was a bit more happenstance than some might think.

Jasin had gotten accepted to his first Cherokee Triangle Art Fair and remembers thinking, “I’ve got to have something that people might actually want to take home with them.” So he created the offbeat, eye-catching and totally unique Highlands print, and he has simply grown from there – so much so that he recently got the call so many local artists hope for.

“The Festival was looking for a new take on the posters and trying to freshen it up and do something different from what they’ve been doing in the past,” Jasin relates. “So they reached out to me and we started this dialogue of what the poster could look like or what we might do. We worked through a couple other styles, and I said, ‘You know, I’ve kind of been working on this style of these neighborhood prints that might be a fun thing to play with for the Derby Festival.’ And thankfully they agreed.”

The question of course then became what moments of the Festival to feature in the print. Although there are certainly the more high-profile events such as Thunder, the Derby Festival truly has myriad events taking place every single day leading up to the first Saturday in May. “I obviously have my perspective of what’s cool about the Derby Festival and [the KDF] has their perspective of what’s important to the Derby Festival,” Jasin says, “so we kind of worked together and made sure all the really

“The Derby Festival is so much about people that I really had to figure out a way to make people-centered events part of this poster and work.”

–Ron Jasin AM R TA R BC Y HR O 2 3N, J2A 0 S1 I7N • V O I C E -T R I B U N E . C O M

TVT.indd 56

signature and popular events were represented in the print. I thought I knew how big the Derby Festival was, but I had no idea.”

Once he had the list nailed down of what he needed to include, another challenge arose. In the NuLu/Butchertown print, for example, he can easily depict such icons as Garage Bar and Copper & Kings, but how do you illustrate the crowd at the Chow Wagon in a tight, condensed image? “The other neighborhood prints have always been very building- or destination-oriented, and the Derby Festival is so much about people that I really had to figure out a way to make people-centered events part of this poster and work,” he describes. “And that was a lot of fun because the buildings can make the print feel dense, and people by nature can make it feel really loose. So how do you give it the feel of one of those prints but have such a person focus to it? So it pushed those designs in a new direction that I think is a lot of fun.”

And the KDF is certainly happy with the final product. “This year’s poster creatively showcases icons that are both significant to the Festival and our community,” said KDF President and CEO Mike Berry upon the poster’s unveiling. “We believe Festival fans will also like how the image is used in the various pieces of our merchandise line this year.”

As the weather continues to warm up, expect to see a lot of Jasin’s new design around town, showing off what’s best about the Derby Festival in a vibrant, stylized and eminently creative fashion. And as the city of Louisville continues to grow, surely so too will Jasin’s unparalleled collection of work.

I vote for letting him go because you want more than he’s apparently able to give. If you do, it may hurt for a while, but it will make it easier for you to find someone who can love you back.

••• DEAR ABBY: We recently lost one of our cherished pets, our oldest cat, Mandy.

We never had children, so our pets ARE our children.

I get that people who have never had pets don’t understand the joy and unconditional love they can bring. But I don’t understand why people we thought were close to us haven’t acknowledged our loss in any way.

Some of them have – or had – pets at one time. A few did send cards or emails, and they were so appreciated. Their kindness will never be forgotten.

Mandy wasn’t sickly. She just stopped eating one day. When we took her to the vet a few days after trying everything we could think of, the diagnosis was kidney cancer.

A couple of days later, we had to make the heartbreaking decision to put her to sleep.

My question is, am I expecting too much of people? After all, you wouldn’t ignore the death of a human child. I’m not only disappointed but resentful that these so-called friends and family don’t seem to care.

I suppose to some Mandy was “just a cat.” But to us, she was our beloved furry child and we are devastated. Please inform people that a kind word or short note would mean the world to people like us who are suffering real grief. —DEEPLY GRIEVING IN ILLINOIS DEAR DEEPLY GRIEVING: Please let me offer my condolences for the loss of Mandy. I know from personal experience what you are going through, and it is very painful.

A former stray, Pebbles’ wandering days are over, and now she’s ready to settle down in her forever home. Pebbles does not like other cats, but she loves people. Walk past her cat condo, and she’ll meow until you come and pet her. For fun, Pebbles likes to play with cat wands, pipe cleaners, and anything else that she can get her paws on. She loves her cuddles, too, and after a hard day of playing, she’ll snuggle up with you. Won’t you come meet this sweet girl today? Pebbles is spayed, micro-chipped, and up-to-date on all her shots.

Ten-year-old Sir Talks A Lot came to the Kentucky Humane Society from an overcrowded shelter. Since arriving at KHS, Sir Talks A Lot has proven to be a loving and very endearing gentleman. Sir Talks A Lot is a gentle soul who loves people.

He does have a beagle’s nose and desire to track down smells outside, but after he gets a good walk and smells the news, he’s happy to settle down for a good back scratch and some serious cuddling. Like a fine wine, Sir Talks A Lot has mellowed with age and become a deeper, richer dog, perfect for someone who wants a dog who will listen to their troubles and wag encouragement. Won’t you come out and meet Sir Talks A Lot today? He’s neutered, micro-chipped and up-to-date on his vaccinations. He’s waiting for you at the Dixie Feeders Supply, 10948 Dixie Highway.
