I stumbled upon David Boone, the focus of this week’s cover story, one evening while mindlessly perusing Twitter. Even though I should have been gearing up to wind down, I continued to thumb through my timeline, anxiety increasing as I read the latest headlines and political posts. Then, someone I was linked to on the social media site shared one of David’s photos and gave the amateur photographer kudos. So, I took a peek and just like that, I was hooked.

What David offers is a reprieve from constant updates of news you can’t control. There is, as writer Brent Owen noted, an intimacy and a remoteness in each image. Even more, his work provides views not often seen in our community. I don’t mean from above – there are oodles of talented drone operators in the area – but from where he points his high-flying device. His aim is to present what hasn’t been seen in Louisville locations not often captured on camera. You can find out more about David in this issue, though I also encourage those of you on social media to follow him on Instagram and Twitter.

This week, exercise guru Jeff Howard is back with a – get this – stock-pot workout. It’s uber effective (trust me on this; my legs are still burning) and innovative. Plus, it’s hard not to laugh a little when your family watches (eyes wide open) as you take out a pot, place it on the floor instead of the stove and begin Jeff’s routine to your favorite tunes.

By the way, several of you have weighed in on Jeff’s column, requesting that he keep ‘em coming. I feel the same way and intend, so long as he agrees, to continue our partnership.

As always, don’t hesitate to reach out to me to share your comments, questions, criticisms, events and anything else you wish to send. After all, this is your Voice. You can reach me at 502.897.8900 or angie@ voice-tribune.com.

“I hope to inspire people to wear something

different this year for Derby. I have created my own technique of sculpting on my braid machine that truly creates one-of-a-kind headpieces.” Jenny will also be featuring her latest Derby couture brim hats with beautiful handsewn beaded and floral details. She is a true master milliner, creating each hat by hand and blocking the material over wooden forms, a technique that dates back over 100 years.

oyal Jewelers is partnering with the Kentucky Humane Society for an adorable and delightful fundraiser on Thursday, Feb. 8. Shoppers can kick off Valentine’s celebrations in style, and will have the opportunity to cuddle with furry friends while browsing through a vast selection of gorgeous items. To learn more about this first-time event, we spoke with Royal Jewelers’ Marketing Manager Amy Schulwolf.

What is Pearls & Puptails?

Pearls & Puptails is a fun and interactive party with food, cocktails and adoptable puppies on-site.

How did this event come about?

Royal Jewelers has always supported the KHS; we’ve been on the committee for the Tuxes & Tails gala for many years and wanted to help them further. We are a family-owned jewelry store that has been in business and involved with the Louisville community for over 70 years, and we love helping local organizations.

Guests can expect a good time! They will get to hold adoptable puppies, eat great food and experience special couple massages from Jarvis Medical Center. Chef Loreal Gavin, a Food Network star who will have her own TV show premiering on CMT this month, will be serving up the appetizers. We will also have savings up to 60% on everything in the store (excluding loose diamonds). Guests will have the chance to pick a heart out of Cupid’s Love Basket to see how much they will save.

A Carizza Bridal Trunk Show and a Rafael Jewelry Trunk Show will be going on as well.

Lupo Leads the Way Fledgling pizzeria finds missing component on Frankfort Avenue Story by Mandy Wolf Detwiler Photos by Josh Keown

[The liquor] helps digestion, and if you look at the things they’re using, there’s a parallel with Chinese herbal medicine. This is ancient stuff.

— Max Balliet 10

T

here’s a certain expectation for restaurateurs who choose to open a new establishment on Frankfort Avenue: it better be good and you better know what you’re doing. Here, the epicurean waters are fraught with competition, and those who choose to test the tides can easily find themselves overwhelmed as they compete for customers from the local bars and eateries.

THE CREW Enter Pizza Lupo, owned by brother/ sister duo Sarah and Max Balliet, as well as Sarah’s husband, Adam Turla. The Balliets, both Louisville natives, had a pipe dream of one day owning their own restaurant, and they dragged Turla down from Detroit to make it happen.

“It’s a dream of mine and theirs that we’ve had for a really long time,” says Max Balliet, who heads the culinary side of the business. “I’ve worked in restaurants for going on 15 years now, and one of my first cooking jobs ever was working for a restaurant that had a wood-burning pizza oven. So I kind of fell in love with the whole style and the whole process.”

In the back of his head, Balliet knew he wanted to focus on food from his own wood-burning pizzeria in Louisville, a niche market he found lacking not only in the restaurant-heavy Frankfort Avenue area but also in Louisville as a whole. “There were a lot of things that I thought could be improved upon,” Balliet says.

Pizza Lupo opened in late summer 2017.

Working out of a retrofitted house-turnedart gallery, they ripped out drywall to reveal stunning brick walls and pulled up carpeting in lieu of hardwood floors. Stark wooden tables, minimal décor and large windows provide a cozy ambience that mirrors Lupo’s simplistic concept. Instead, the focus here is on the food.

The menu changes three times a year with the seasons, ensuring the restaurant can source as fresh ingredients as possible.

Dough, sauces and cheese are prepped in-house, and while the pizza oven is not visible – a facet Balliet tried as hard as he could to make happen – it bakes at a whopping 900 degrees. Balliet prefers ash as his wood of choice, but oak will do, and he’s made steps to begin curing his own wood to ensure dryness, a must-have for wood-fired ovens pumping out Neapolitan pizzas.

“I like the idea of a destination,” Balliet says. “I feel like it gives me a creative license to do things that will draw people in. In a spot that’s in a more high-foot traffic area, you have to cater to those people if you’re being smart about it. With this, we need to get people to come here, which means we have the license to do stuff I don’t think we’d have if we’d rented a spot on Bardstown Road. From early on, I really liked that idea.

“This is specifically the style that I’ve always wanted to do,” he continues. “This is the pinnacle of pizza. This is as true as it gets. It’s as authentic as it gets. This is real pizza to me.”

LIFE

THE EATS The top-selling pizza is the classic Margherita with tomato, fresh mozzarella and basil ($12) followed by the Sting Like a Bee (tomato, fresh mozzarella, basil, soppressata and a house-made hot honey prepared with Korean chili flakes ($15). There’s a bit of learning curve to Lupo’s pizzas, which are traditional Neapolitan style, a bit wet in the middle with a dough that takes at least 48 hours to rise. It’s not something this area is used to, but is a style that is growing in popularity outside of the big cities.

“I love foods with rich tradition and history,” he says. That includes handmade pastas like the potato gnocchi with braised beef cheek ($16) and the Spinach Garganelli (rabbit and cannellini white bean ragu) at $17.

Balliet is quick to point out that the pasta component is not simply an add-on to the menu. “We make every single pasta by hand,” he says. “We do not use extruders. We only do hand-sheeted, hand-formed pasta shapes.”

Small plates range from fried smelts with caper and preserved lemon aioli ($7), housemade charcuterie plates with pate, coppa, ‘nduja, country ham and pan forte ($17) and wood-charred octopus with fingerling potatoes and a puttanesca sauce ($10).

Balliet says he is grateful for Louisvillians’ appreciation of the more unusual dishes. “We 0 2 . 0 8 . 2 0 1 8 V O I C E -T R I B U N E . C O M

do some pretty wild pastas, and we sell them,” he says.

“I wasn’t sure or not if we were going to be able to move chicken liver pasta, or right now we’ve got uni with nori on it.

And people react to it. I think part of that, again, is we’re a destination. People who are coming here come here deliberately.

They didn’t just stumble upon us.”

THE DRINKS The final component to the restaurant, Balliet says, are their handmade amaros –– crafted Italian herbal liqueurs typically used as an after-dinner digestif. They offer one of the largest selections of amaros in town, but also specialize in handcrafted cocktails. Amaros are quintessential Italian, “and it’s really bloomed into this full-on amaro program that we’re running,” Balliet says.

These drinks are not for the faint of heart, but those with an appreciation of a traditional Italian dinner won’t want to miss the fortified wines and grappa infused with herbs and roots in an herbal, botanical style.

“The liquor is drunk just a little bit neat at the end of the meal,” Balliet adds.”It helps digestion, and if you look at the things they’re using, there’s a parallel with Chinese herbal medicine. This is ancient stuff; the history and tradition on this is as rich if not richer than pizza tradition, and it’s really becoming my favorite part of this bar.”

THE DETAILS Pizza Lupo is open Tuesday through Saturday from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. and from 5 p.m. to 11 p.m. A full bar and dessert options, as well as salads and a handful of sandwiches are also available.

“I do want people who come here to think about the pizza, but also the pasta aspect,” Balliet says. “It is very much a pizza and pasta restaurant. I feel like if you just come here and get a pizza – and even inversely, if you just get the pasta – you’re missing part of what our identity is. To me, for someone who’s never been here before, I would urge them to try some of each. That’s when you can see kind of the whole vision.” VT

The Stock-Pot Workout Story by Jeffrey Howard Photos by Jillian Clark

This workout could be the secret recipe to becoming the best version of yourself.

1

H

ave you already forgotten your New Year’s resolution or goal? It’s never too late to start! We all have many excuses for why we cannot work out: We can’t find the time, we aren’t a member of a gym or we say it’s too cold outside. Therefore, I designed a total-body workout using an everyday object you already have in your home so you don’t have to leave the comforts of your warm house.

This week I am going to walk you through a workout that requires only a stock pot. I invite you to go to your kitchen and grab the biggest one you have. You may be thinking that I’m crazy, but bear with me. This workout could be the secret recipe to becoming the best version of yourself. I want you to give yourself 20 minutes to try something new that will help you get back on track! Remember, if this is your first workout of the new year or you’re struggling to get to the gym, just 20 minutes with your pot will put you one step closer towards your goal.

How it works: Remember that some of these moves are unilateral, so make sure to do the right side and then the left side. Do one set of 20 reps of each move in order without resting between sets. Do cardio for five minutes, then repeat the entire circuit once or twice.

1. TAP THE STOCK POT Start tapping the top (flat surface) of the pot with your foot, alternating feet. Then increase the momentum by repeating it as quickly as you feel comfortable. Remember that you’re never putting the weight of your body onto the pot. You’re basically just tapping it with your toe. This is a great alternative to jogging.

comfortable with. If you need a place to put your hands, place them on your hips; this will help you balance. Try to do double the reps for this one.

4. RUNNERS LUNGE This one will also work your core and lower body. Placing one foot on the pot, place the other leg behind you so you’re in a lunge stance. Pulse four times, bringing your knee towards the floor. Then bring that leg back, lifting the knee forward so you’re standing on one leg, and repeat. For beginners, try doing this without the pot.

5. ASYMMETRICAL SQUAT Place one foot on the pot and one on the floor. Your feet should be hip-width apart.

Bend your knees so you are in a squat. Hold and pulse, lowering your gluteus to the floor.

As soon as you place one foot on to the pot, it becomes more of a core exercise and will make the ab muscles recruit differently.

2. KETTLEBELL TOSS

6. TRICEP EXTENSION

Standing with your feet hip-width apart, grab the pot by both handles. Bending your knees into a squat position with the pot in between your legs, lift or swing upwards as you extend your legs. Then bring it towards the floor, resuming a squat position. Imagine you’re sitting back into a chair. This one is great for getting your heart rate up and working your lower body and core.

Stand with your feet hip-width apart, knees slightly bent. Place the pot behind you.

Grab both handles letting it rest on your bottom. Without bending your elbows, lift your arms towards the sky as high as you feel comfortable. This is a great exercise for rear deltoids and triceps.

3. SINGLE NEW REPEATER This exercise is great for core cardio and the lower body, especially your gluteus. Place one foot on the pot, then bend the other knee up in front of you towards the sky. Make sure the knee comes up higher than your hip flexors. Repeat this at the speed you feel 14

4

7. BICEP CURL Stand with your feet hip-width apart and knees slightly bent. Grab the pot’s handles.

Bending the elbows, lift the pot towards your body. Try doing a set with both hands then try a single bicep curl, holding on to one handle. Do a whole set with one arm then the other arm. Finish up with both of your arms for a super set.

8. ASYMMETRICAL PUSH UP Placing one hand on the pot and the other hand on the floor, bring yourself towards the floor and then push yourself up. With the knees on the floor and one hand elevated, this will recruit the chest in a different range of motion. Only go as low as you feel comfortable. Remember to keep your hands at chest level.

9. SINGLE ARM ROW Standing in a lunge position, place one hand on your quadriceps to support your lower back. With the other hand, grab the pot by the handle. You will then bring the pot toward the back of the room and lower back to position. Try to keep your elbow close to your body as if it’s gliding by your side.

8

10. RUSSIAN STOCK POT TWIST Place your feet on the floor with your chest elevated. Grab the pot by both handles.

Start to twist from left to right with your chest elevated; lift one foot and then the other. Try lifting both feet and twisting left to right. If you have lower back issues, please keep your feet on the floor.

11. SINGLE ARM ROLL UP Start in the supine position with your legs extended. Grab one handle of the pot and reach for the ceiling. The other hand reaches out to the side. Then slowly lift the body upwards, reaching the pot towards the sky. Then slowly lower the body back to the floor. If you have lower back issues, please bend your knees or extend them but spread them wide. For more of a challenge, try to count to eight as you lift upwards and then come back down.

12. ALTERNATING LEG STRETCH Starting in a supine position, bend your knees. Grab the pot by the handles. Bring one knee towards you and let it touch the pot. Extend the other leg in the opposite direction, alternating left and right. Remember to extend the leg only as high as you feel comfortable. For more of a challenge, lift your head into a C curve while looking directly in front of you. VT

Inside the Mind of Basketball Coach Chris Renner

By Randy Whetstone Jr.

T

he evolution of basketball in the United States has been quite remarkable to say the least. There was once a time when true bragging rights took place on the neighborhood playgrounds, in church leagues and other community programs.

But now through the advancement of the Amateur Athletic Union (AAU) and personal training, there are now elementary kids embracing the social media limelight as the next LeBron James or Diana Taurasi.

I had the chance to speak with Ballard’s boys basketball coach Chris Renner, as he explained to me the changes in the game, the evolution of AAU and what he envisions for the future of high school basketball.

What has changed the most about basketball since you started coaching?

When I was growing up, I was at St. Matthews Baptist Church, and we had Crescent Hill, Walnut Street and Cabbage Patch. The church league was really big along with Metro Parks, but now the AAU is taking over. You have your fifth and sixth grade league, even down to second grade. There are more places to go and more leagues to play in. It is a money maker, and people are making good money off that. Now, is it helping kids? It is giving them an opportunity to play games, but I sense they are not working on fundamentals quite as much.

The other change is not only do you have more AAU coaches and programs, but now you have individual instruction. Rick Pitino kind of brought that about with individual instruction with his players, and now you’re starting to see former high school and college guys doing workouts. Those are things that are drawing the kids in at an early age.

18

How has AAU made players better for when they return to play for their high school?

What are some of the similarities between high school and AAU coaches?

AAU gives kids a chance to play basketball more. Once their season is over in high school, they are able to play for a team. AAU is really good for the higher-level players because it does get them exposure. I would say it is good from the perspective that most of the coaches do a good job and they are preaching the same message to the kids. The biggest negative I see from it is kids are wasting too much time traveling rather than working on fundamentals.

The AAU circuit was originally designed for the better players. Then it became “daddy ball.” He puts a team together with his friends and good buddies and then all of a sudden you have kids saying, “I am playing AAU and traveling to Vegas.” But they are not college-level basketball players. So they are wasting hours, time and money, and they are not getting recruited and those places are benefiting.

Dealing with kids who have talent and who can play at the next level, part of the responsibility we have as high school and AAU coaches is to try to help prepare them.

We’re never going to see them complete as we envision seeing it, but we are slowly putting pieces of that masterpiece and puzzle together so when they get to the next level, they are better off and they’re closer to becoming the best type of player they can be.

Something that we (high school coaches) do that you may not see as much on the AAU level is we hold our players more accountable.

With AAU, they (a player) can be on one team, may not like how they are playing or don’t like the coach, so they end up leaving and bouncing from team to team. So what happens is the (AAU) coaches are afraid to get on the players and hold them accountable because they might lose them. But the good coaches and programs are not worried about that because what they do and how they travel speaks for itself.

Has the decline in mastering the fundamentals watered down the game of basketball?

Guys back in the day like Darrell Griffith, Derek Anderson and Allan Houston, they were not on the AAU circuit, but they were pretty darn good players. I can take guys that are that size and say these guys got better at playing pickup ball, getting in the gyms and parks and just working and playing. But now these kids are playing starting in first grade, doing individual instruction, they are traveling across the country, but I don’t see them being better players.

What do you think high school basketball will look like in the next five to 10 years?

What I have seen happen, and I think we are seeing an even a bigger shift in this direction, is the rise of prep schools. It is the thing that is becoming more prevalent in the game of basketball. So there is a big shift and there are more of those prep schools coming up around the country. There have been some good prep programs who have allowed elite players to go places and focus a lot on basketball and a lot on their craft. VT 0 2 . 0 8 . 2 0 1 8 V O I C E -T R I B U N E . C O M

One photographer’s quest to show Louisville a whole new view

A

By Brent Owen

t first glance, David Boone’s aerial photographs are simple and straightforward: They offer interesting views of Louisville from up to 400 feet in the air. But if you look closer – and you take a moment longer – what you’ll find are images that range from beautiful and breathtaking to poignant and enigmatic.

They’re the antithesis of the selfie, though Boone’s pictures can – and often do – simultaneously offer both intimacy and distance.

However they’re perceived, the amateur photographer is on a mission to aid others in seeing the city in a whole new way through Louisville from Above, a I never did study photography, project he started on a whim last year. but as a graphic designer I The idea began last spring a conversation think I developed an eye for with a after friend who had how things should look. recently purchased a drone.

Boone recalls being skepti— David Boone cal of his friend’s new toy.

“I was like, ‘Really? What are you going to use it for?’ But I went out the next day so he could show me what it could do, and I was instantly amazed by how cool it was.”

Soon, Boone had a drone of his own. He decided on a DJI Mavic Pro, which came equipped with a 12 megapixel camera that also recorded in high definition 4K video quality. So, taking pictures and videos was the natural next step for the budding hobbyist.

Once he saw the pictures his drone was taking, Boone began to see the town he’d known his whole life in a brand new light. That’s when he created Instagram (@louisvillefromabove) and Twitter (@502fromabove) pages where he would post the powerful images he was capturing. “I thought I could post one picture a day and maybe someone would find it interesting.”

In less than a year, between both pages, Boone has garnered well over 5,000 followers who are clamoring to get a look at his unique view of the city.

The Louisville native was raised in the East End with his three sisters. He played football at Ballard High School and later at Franklin College in Franklin, Indiana. Boone’s grandfather is legendary University of Louisville football player Otto Knop, who played center with Johnny Unitas in the 1950s. (Knop has been inducted to the UofL Athletics Hall of Fame, the Kentucky Athletics Hall of Fame and had his Norton Commons. Photo by David Boone.

jersey retired by UofL.) Despite his familial ties to the game, Boone quickly realized he didn’t want to pursue football at the collegiate level. After a year he needed a change, so he left football behind and transferred to the University of Kentucky, where he graduated in 2009.

At this time, Boone was introduced to Big Time Yurts, a local merchandising and apparel company. He began doing graphic design work for the online retail outlet. It was an experience that led him to his current gig, running production for Stitch Designers downtown Louisville.

“I never did study photography,” said Boone, “but as a graphic designer, I think I developed an eye for how things should look.”

Remote drone exploration has become a trendy hobby in recent years, which makes a lot of area locations somewhat undesirable to Boone. “Anything around water is going to be cool,” he said. “That’s why if you go down to the Waterfront or the Big Four Bridge, there are always people flying drones.

I try to get away from where everyone else is and shoot places no one’s really seen before.” It’s that tendency to seek out the city’s hidden gems that allows his work to stand out.

“It’s one of the things I love about this project,” said Boone. “I’m from here, but there is so much of this city I haven’t seen. This has really pushed me to explore areas I’ve never been to before and see my city with fresh eyes. And some of these places may not mean that much to me, but to certain people in those neighborhoods, it means a lot to them.

I love being able to bring that to the communities within our community.”

If you’ve had the opportunity to browse through Boone’s photographs, you will see why so many Louisvillians have responded with overwhelming positivity. “Look at blueprints or anything that’s ever designed: They’re all designed from that angle (from above),” he explained. “So I feel like that’s kind of the angle we’re supposed to be looking at them from.”

In one series of photographs, Boone utilized Google Maps to locate buildings that, from above, resembled specific letters of the alphabet. He then spent the day driving around town photographing each one, eventually spelling out the word “Louisville” through the images he captured.

Boone isn’t just interested in architecture and cityscapes.

He wanders into local parks to capture the city’s natural beauty as well, and not just the most well-known spots. He finds himself shooting in small neighborhood parks he had never visited before, like Chickasaw Park in Louisville’s

West End, which he didn’t know existed until he photographed it. “This is a little adventure,” he said. “It’s not like I’m creating anything, it’s already there – I’m just taking pictures of it.”

Boone does a lot of his shooting before and after work since his favorite times to shoot are at sunrise and sunset. “It never fails to surprise me at how beautiful the lines and the shadows are at those times of day,” he said. When it comes to places he likes to shoot, he says that football fields, basketball courts, tennis courts and the local skate park all look interesting from above. He also loves photographing cemeteries due to the interesting patterns the gravestones make from above.

When asked if there is one image that stands out as his favorite, Boone says it may be a shot he accidentally took of a local shipping yard. “I wasn’t there to shoot it; it just happened to be under the camera at the time, so I took the picture,” he

26

recalled. “From that far up, the shipping containers almost don’t seem real anymore. They look like a scatter of multi-colored blocks, toys a kid put together and just left.”

Today, Boone’s future plans for the project are starting to come into focus. He would like to do a showing of some of his favorite photographs at a gallery around town. He is also looking to start selling prints and posters of his work a little further down the line. Plus, there’s always the possibility of expanding his “From Above” concept to other cities, which he recently dipped his toe into while on a business trip to Chicago.

In recent months Boone hasn’t been able to get out as much as he would like. Primarily, because he doesn’t want to exhaust all of his shooting options. “There is a finite number of things I can take pictures of,” he said. “I don’t want to take pictures just to be taking them; I want to fall in love with the pictures.” VT

Royal Sightings, Walking Tours and Great Entertainment

On the ship we use the shower for bathing and the bathtub for souvenirs.

board Regent’s Seven Seas Voyager, it took 18 hours to sail from Ho Chi Minh City to the Vietnamese city of Nha Trang. While still in Ho Chi Minh City/Saigon we learned an interesting fact: We had presumed that the old city name, Saigon, had been abandoned as old fashioned. Not so. The locals are just as apt to use either name, and Saigon, which has fewer syllables, seems to win out a great deal of the time as it’s easier to say.

We arrived mid-morning in Nha Trang on a day that was somewhat dreary and overcast. Because of its coastal location, Nha Trang is popular with Vietnamese tourists. It has a number of resorts, amusement and water parks. While the Vinpearl Cable Car, a gondola lift system that links the mainland to a resort and theme park on an adjoining island, looked to be a tempting diversion, we chose a five-hour exploration of the area called “Nha Trang Ancient Civilizations” in a coach offered by the ship to keep us busy.

It started off with a drive to the Buddhist Long Son Pagoda. The pagoda has had a busy past. Established in 1889, it was destroyed and rebuilt in 1900. In 1935, after the passing of the patriarch of the family, the pagoda was donated to the An Nam Buddhist Association. It has had two subsequent renovations, one in 1940 and the last one in 1970. Its most impressive feature is an enormous white marble sitting Buddha that is in beautiful condition (Many of us felt it might be an ancestor of Mr. Clean). I don’t know who keeps the birds from soiling it, but they do a good job.

The next stop was a walk across the Ha Ra Bridge to get a glorious view of the Nha Trang Harbor. Our walking route took us down some steps, under the approach to a bridge and then on a pathway that led to the Po Nagar Cham Towers. On the way we passed a group of local people selling all sorts of interesting fruit. I wasn’t brave enough to try any.

The Po Nagar Cham Towers, a Buddhist temple, is absolutely beautiful and very old.

Construction took place between the seventh and 12th centuries. According to our guide,

the construction technique was nothing short of amazing. While made of brick, there was no visible mortar between the bricks as has been the practice in more modern times. It was quite a steep climb to get to the top of the facility, but well worth the effort.

Our final stop that day was the Dam Local Market. That is what it is called! Appreciation of this style of market is sort of an acquired taste. There is a large round building surrounded by outdoor stalls with everything from beautiful fresh flowers and vegetables of every description to very smelly dried fish piled up in heaps, which were actively purchased by the locals. Inside the building it was souvenir heaven with pearls, watches, lacquer panels and objects, thousands of t-shirts and silk dresses and who knows what else. It is the sort of place I love, except for the dried fish.

Then it was back to the ship for a nap.

That evening we were entertained on stage before dinner by Ray Solaire. As previously mentioned, he is English and has been in the entertainment business for years.

Ray has entertained audiences on ocean liners since the 1970s, starting first on the QEII. He is slender, gray-haired, charming and extremely entertaining….both on- and off-stage. We were fortunate to have had dinner with Ray where he regaled us with stories, including a time when he spent eight hours in a lifeboat when it was necessary to abandon a ship he was on in the Caribbean!

Next stop was Kota Kinabalu, Malaysia but first, a short geography lesson.

In the grand scheme, we were headed to Borneo, which is the third-largest island in the world. On Borneo there are three countries: Malaysia, Brunei and Indonesia. Our first stop was in the northern Sabah section of Malaysia where Kota Kinabalu is located.

Next stop was Muara, Brunei, a tiny and very rich country (think Sultan of Brunei) located between northern Malaysia and southern Malaysia, the site of our third stop Kuching, Malaysia. Got it? Get a map; it will make more sense.

From the ship we took off by coach to see “Kota Kinabalu City.” It was a tour loaded with contrasts. Our first photo stop was the Tun Mustapha Building, a very impressive 1977 Japanese-built aluminum and glass 0 2 . 0 8 . 2 0 1 8 V O I C E -T R I B U N E . C O M

tower. It is easy to understand why it quickly became a landmark.

The next stop was at the Sabah State Mosque, and it was no less impressive in a different way. Surrounded by water with gold-decorated towers, it was completed in 1975 and holds 5,000 people.

We then went on to the Sabah Museum and Heritage Village, which is a 1985 reconstruction of the traditional housing that various indigenous groups had in the area.

It is a really good preservation effort.

The next stop was at the local handicraft market for a little “retail therapy.”

Bargaining expected. On the ship we use the shower for bathing and the bathtub for souvenirs. So far, the tub is not filling up very quickly. But I am up to the challenge, and we have more than 100 days to go.

That evening’s entertainment was “Broadway in Concert” and featured the singers minus the dancers from the ship’s production company. The show selection was quite good, and the performances were very nice.

Brunei is by far the smallest country in Borneo, but it is also the richest. We docked in Muara, and after we were cleared to go ashore we boarded our coach to drive to the jetty. From there we would board a local boat to cruise the surrounding waterways lined with mangroves and hopefully see some wild proboscis monkeys. I’ve seen them before, and they look a whole lot like Jimmy Durante.

On the way we made a brief photo stop to see the entrance to the palace of the Sultan of Brunei. It was very impressive. While we were there the gates swung open and a black Mercedes came through to leave the property.

For a second we were sure it was the Sultan in

the back seat. Our guide for the tour spent a lot of time telling us about how well loved he is. We were also told that all of the streets in the city are closed to any traffic on Sunday morning so that the Sultan and the Crown Prince, who is 38, can go cycling without interference.

The Crown Prince is the heir apparent to the throne, and the first son of the first wife. There have been a couple of other wives.

Our coach then took us to the jetty to go on our river cruise among the mangroves. It was pleasant, but we saw no monkeys. We did go visit a home in the Water Village, which turned out to be what looked like primitive homes on stilts over the water. We were served tea and some delicious goodies including warm, meat-filled pastries similar to samosas, sweet roasted bananas and another sweet, green and gooey something that cannot be described.

We returned to the ship mid-afternoon in time to enjoy musical entertainment in the ship’s theater called Krew Kapers. This is a

show that is put on and produced by members of the crew. The ship’s captain uses this event as a cocktail party to thank all of the guests for their patronage and to express thanks for the hardworking crew.

By coincidence, this was the same evening we were invited to have dinner with the captain and his social hostess. Another couple filled out the table for six, and we had such a good time talking with this young, handsome, Swedish-born captain and each other, that we practically closed the dining room.

Captain Daniel Green, whom we have known for some time, is also travelling with his gorgeous, statuesque wife and their 13-monthold son, who wears his sailor suit to all formal occasions.

Later in evening we sailed off for Kuching, Malaysia. We’ll save that for next week. VT

The Horse Capper: Life After Basketball

By Janice Carter Levitch

avid Levitch is best known for his four years as a former member of the University of Louisville basketball team.

Upon graduating in 2017, he was faced with thoughts of life after basketball, but he knew deep down he wanted to do Thoroughbred handicapping, the art of predicting horses who have the highest possibility of crossing the finish line according to his forecast. Shifting from a basketball arena to a horseracing arena was an easy transition.

From a very early age he has always had one foot in both. As a young boy he wanted to be a basketball player or a jockey. Quickly outgrowing the possibility of being a jockey when he reached the height of 6'3", he began following his dream to become a notable and well-respected handicapper. He has worked diligently – step by step – to craft his own formula when it comes to the fine art of

predicting the outcome of a horse race. The handicapping process can be simple or complex, but for David usually includes some of the following elements when studying a race and what the horses are bringing to the starting gate: • He prefers handicapping on paper, focusing on handwriting his choices.

• He always uses the Daily Racing Form (DRF) programs that are printed out. He’s not big on the new style of using electronics and iPads to handicap, but he will watch replays on his computer with the DRF Formulator. Beyer speed figures and class are the two major factors when looking at a horse: who they have run against and the Beyer number they received. The Beyer speed rating strategies were created by Andrew Beyer, a syndicated horse racing columnist for the Washington Post, in the 1970s.

Outside of Churchill Downs, Saratoga Race Course in Saratoga Springs, New York, is David’s favorite track. Drawn to the rich tradition it brings and the great racing it has to offer, he follows New York racing full time.

Kentucky is definitely rich in tradition as well and David is fast on his way as a handicapper, recently launching his website, thehorsecapper.com, promoting his ability as a handicapper. He always keeps his eye on the final turn as his predictions make that sprint down the stretch in hopes of crossing the finish line as he envisioned. Or as Travis Stone would say, making the final “turn for home.” VT

• Cutbacks are another big angle for him.

Horses cutting back always have a stamina advantage on the horses who have been mainly sprinting in their most recent races.

He believes they always have an advantage on the sprinters if they’re good enough to win.

• Speed is a big deal for him when it comes to picking a horse. He loves it when a horse has speed or a tactical advantage on their competition. He holds nothing against closers, as he does bet them as well, but if it’s between a closer or a speed horse, he will always take the speed horse.

Already well-known at Churchill Downs by owners, trainers, jockeys, jockey agents, administrators, big stakes gamblers, vets, outriders and announcers, one of his best friends and mentor is none other than Travis Stone, the announcer at Churchill Downs. They met through Norman Casse, a horse trainer that David interned with in the spring of 2016. Travis has called the last three Kentucky Derby races and you will hear his distinctive voice once again this year for the 144th Run for the Roses. Stay tuned for an expanded feature article on Travis in the very near future. His sharp wit, calm demeanor and astute vocal qualities provide him with the talent needed to announce each race as a story all its own with confidence and a genuine tone.

VOLARE GENERAL MANAGER ACQUIRES OWNERSHIP IN RESTAURANT

Just 18 months after assuming the role of General Manager at Volare Italian Ristorante, Jonathan Tarullo has been named a managing partner and assumes an ownership stake in the Clifton-area Italian restaurant.

Tarullo, a Louisville native, has been at the forefront of some of Louisville’s most desirable restaurants. He brings extensive knowledge in fine dining management to Volare, having started his journey at the age of 15 washing dishes at a local restaurant after school.

Tarullo joins Executive Chef and Managing Partner Joshua Moore with an equal stake in the restaurant. Both Tarullo and Moore have worked diligently to develop an unparalleled team both in the front and back of house, all with one goal: to deliver a first-class dining experience. “Tarullo has been a tremendous asset to the restaurant since joining in 2016,” stated Paul Perconti, one of Volare’s owners. “This was a natural evolution to afford Jonathan an opportunity to become a partner.”

All partners are quick to point out that Volare has consistently shown record growth for the past five years. Executive Chef and Managing Partner Joshua Moore attributes that growth to loyal, repeat customers as well as the recent remodel (August 2017) which was designed to retain those customers by producing a more engaging guest experience as well as creating an environment conducive to attracting a new generation of customers. Recent menu changes and promotions at the Volare Bar have also contributed to growth in attracting a new customer base.

With the launch of the newly renovated restaurant also came a revised menu with several new items and, of course, the Volare classics, all of which have been well received.

Directly imported from Italy, Chef Moore and team are now using a pasta extruder daily to prepare handmade pasta.

Moore and Tarullo are both excited about the future of Volare and the recent changes. Tarullo will continue to focus on the overall guest experience while also growing their event coordination offerings. Moore remains focused on the dining experience as he continues to finesse an ever-changing menu focused on using the freshest seasonal ingredients.

DERBY FESTIVAL RELEASES 2018 PEGASUS PIN DESIGN

As a sign that spring is around the corner, the Derby Festival has released the design for the 46th edition of their Pegasus Pin. The 2018 design is inspired by the Festival’s official poster image. The plastic pin features the Pegasus from the poster in a color combination of purple along with white, green and gold foil. Beginning in March, the pins will be available to the public and will sell for $6 each at 1,000 retail locations.

The price at the entrance to events will be $7.

“You can’t lose with the purchase of a Pegasus Pin,” said Mike Berry, President and CEO of the Kentucky Derby Festival. “They are a tremendous value, providing free admission into more than half of the Festival’s events, and any 2018 plastic pin could make you a Grand Prize winner.”

Each 2018 Pegasus Pin will come with a chance to win one of the Festival’s Grand Prizes when registered with the KDF app or online at PegasusPins.com. The pin envelopes also include coupons with special discounts provided by local retail partners.

The Pegasus Pin program began as an awareness campaign for the Derby Festival in 1973. At that time, only 10,000 of the plastic pins were produced. The 1973 version of the pin is valued at $800 to $1,000, and it’s rare to find them. Since then, the pins have become one of the primary sources of funding for Derby Festival events. More than 250,000 of the pins are produced each year and the pin program has become a way for the community to have ownership in the Festival and show pride in the region’s largest celebration.

Pins are sold in grocery stores, gas stations, banks and other retail outlets all over Kentuckiana, and are also available for purchase through PegasusPins.com.

Festival Fun Packs, which include a package of five Pegasus Pins, also return this year for $25. Children six and under are not required to have a Pegasus Pin for admission to Festival events.

More information on the Pegasus Pin program can be found at PegasusPins.com.

LOUISVILLE CITY FC EYES CORPORATE PARTNERSHIP WITH VISIONWORKS

Before beginning the regular season in March, Louisville City Football Club has seen the road to new territory on the corporate partnerships side by introducing Visionworks, the third-largest retail optical chain in the United States, as the “Official Eye Care Provider in the Field of Optometry” and jersey-back sponsor for the “Boys in Purple” on a two-year agreement.

As part of the negotiation, Visionworks is designated as the official jersey-back sponsor for the 2018 USL season, with the eye care provider’s logo debuting on the club’s kits starting on Saturday, March 17, when LouCity hosts expansion side Nashville SC for the inaugural game of the year (7:30 p.m. at Slugger Field).

Founded and owned by Dr. Mark Lynn & Associates, Visionworks will work with the LouCity team members on sports vision training, providing the team with the opportunity to train their visual abilities and maximize their on-field performances. In addition, the company will also serve as the presenting sponsor of Louisville City FC youth clubs as well as Louisville City FC camps and clinics. With this announcement, Visionworks becomes LouCity’s first foray into the field of vision.

“I look forward to our partnership with Louisville City FC and the opportunity to help enhance the players vision abilities to take their game to the next level,” says Dr. Mark Lynn, owner of Visionworks. “Our team of specialized doctors will be performing various vision tests and training sessions to improve hand eye coordination, eye-tracking abilities, depth perception and many other exercises on an individual basis. My family and I believe this is just another way that we can give back to our community – and we are excited to see what is to come!”

“We’re delighted to announce our new and innovative partnership with Visionworks. LouCity is proud and honored that such an industry-leading company with Louisville ties and a national reach now has our back,” said Louisville City FC Chairman John Neace. “In welcoming Visionworks to the LouCity family, this partnership extends beyond a typical sports sponsorship and is truly visionary in scope. Visionworks will bring unique offerings to assist and support our players on the field, as well as our organization off of it.”
