PUB NOTE

From The Publisher...

T

he dawn of a new year is often the best time to make a change – take stock and see where and how one can improve. While I’m proud of The Voice-Tribune and all of our hardworking staff, I know what we do each week is serve you, our readers, and I know we couldn’t exist as a publication without your loyalty for the past 65 years.

But I also know that we can do better.

We always strive to improve with every issue because doing so ensures that we serve you as best we can. Each given week is a chance to repay your loyalty with insightful and engaging community news.

When my husband and I acquired The Voice-Tribune over seven years ago, it had been our long-standing dream to immerse ourselves in the world of publishing. We knew there would be challenges along the way, and we wholeheartedly embraced them as opportunities to learn and progress.

It is for this reason that we have some exciting news that you may have already noticed simply by picking up this week’s copy of The Voice-Tribune. We have changed formats. As you will see, we have transitioned our weekly publication from the traditional broadsheet newspaper format to a modern tabloid size. We have also upgraded the paper and print quality for a more vibrant feel and look – which in turn will make your smiling faces in our society pages pop that much more, each week. We are hopeful that these changes will translate to an improved and most satisfying experience for you – our readership.

While some people assume that a smaller format means less content, it’s certainly not the case here. We promise to have the same number of articles and photos as ever before – only now you can carry us with even greater ease in your handbag, briefcase and on the go.

Another key factor as to why we switched in size is the environment. As a business we strive to be socially and environmentally responsible, and we know many of our readers share this ethos. Knowing we could cut paper usage by 50 percent each year, while still putting out a publication that we are proud of and with the same number of great articles, made it an easy decision to make.

P H OTO B Y C L AY C O O K

We at The Voice-Tribune are proud of our growth and of our recently launched quarterly glossy and Derby Recap Issue, which has been so well received by readership. We love Louisville and our surrounding coverage area, and work very hard to be your vital source for the content that you desire at a time when readers have so many alternatives.

its traditions and values going forward into a bright, new and exciting 2015.

New look, same Voice.

Enjoy!

The Voice-Tribune may look different, but we hope you appreciate how much we respect

he new year is often a time of great evolution. In a city like Louisville, change seems to be the name of the game, year on year. Neighborhoods are revitalized, new businesses thrive, old enterprises innovate and communities come together. Louisville isn’t perfect, no place is, but there are a whole host of people and organizations in this city striving to make a difference. For the first cover story of the new-look Voice-Tribune, we’ve selected a handful of groups and individuals who have been creating positive change in Louisville for the past few years, and are working harder than ever to spur even greater progress in 2015.

We’ve chosen to focus on food, community, technology and the arts. This is not a comprehensive list, merely a sampling of the thousands of Louisvillians who help catalyze change in this city, creating one of the most fun, vibrant and diverse towns in America.

n many people’s eyes, the people who make the biggest change on any given culinary landscape are the chefs. So often, the ones who deliver the final product are the ones who get all the glory and the largest slice of the limelight.

But chefs only get that credit because they’re able to put out a dish that utilizes the best ingredients, and suppliers play a key role in that process. When it comes to the food scene in Louisville, credit must go to Groganica Farms.

Groganica Farms, the brainchild of husband and wife team Mac and Amanda DeHart, is the first commercially successful aquaponic farm in Louisville and the state of Kentucky. For those unaware of what this is – the process is simple. Without the use of soil, fresh and organic produce is grown in water, which is fertilized by living fish. Fish waste feeds the plants, while the plants clean the water, allowing the fish to thrive. Best of all, everything grown comes without any unnatural fertilizers, chemicals, fungicides or pesticides, and the process uses less water than traditional methods of growing produce.

For those who may be skeptical, or think they may have never tried aquaponics, it’s hard to escape them when it comes to the best restaurants in the city. If you’ve ever eaten a salad at Bistro 1860, Brasserie Provence, Craft House, The English Grill at the Brown, Gary’s on Spring, Le Relais, Lilly’s Bistro, Marketplace at Theater Square, Mayan Cafe, Napa River Grill, Porcini, Proof on Main, Rivue at The Galt House, St. Charles Exchange, Volare, then you’ve eaten the produce of the DeHarts.

“We just really think this is the best and most sustainable way to farm,” Mac DeHart says, explaining that currently demand is outripping supply, so that soon they will come close to tripling their greenhouse space from 6,000 square feet.

“We feel that in the future, farming practices that exist today are not going to be sustainable,” DeHart continues. “Anyone who has seen documentaries like “Food Inc.” will know that due to mono crop culture farming and the depletion of the soils, and drought problems we have to come up with new ways of farming and more sustainable ways of doing it.”

Aside from a whole host of heirloom varieties, the DeHarts plan on growing more substantial produce in the future, like a greater variety of vegetables, ensuring that more edibles in Louisville’s restaurants will be responsibly and freshly produced.

“We’ve been together for 15 years, and I remember I told Mac, if you don’t do this now, you will regret it,” Amanda DeHart explains.

Nearly two years in, and Groganica is thriving. More and more restaurants in one of America’s culinary capitals will stock the DeHarts’ delicious and fresh produce.

“We love the outdoors, we’ve always loved the outdoors and I’ve always wanted to be with farming,” explains Mac DeHart. “I’m 44 now, but at 42 years old, we both just said, “Let’s do this.” VT For more information visit www.groganica.com

BULLEIT FRONTIER WHISKEY EXPERIENCE Yes, Louisville and Kentucky are the birthplace and capital of bourbon. Same old, same old, we know. But something new that’s helping to alter the drinking and educational landscape in the city is Diageo - and more specifically - Bulleit Bourbon. Why? Well, just like their peers at Heaven Hill distilleries, who opened the Evan Williams Bourbon Experience, Bulleit have opened a visitor’s center at the historic Stitzel-Weller distillery which they name – Bulleit Frontier Whiskey Experience. With a visitors center opened, $10 million promised to develop the distillery further, as well as a commitment from Diageo to construct a $115 million distilling facility for Bulleit in Shelby County, the future is looking even brighter for bourbon in Louisville and the surrounding area.

f you’ve tried a new soft drink or alcoholic beverage in the past few years, chances are David Dafoe and his team had some hand in it.

Dafoe knows flavor. And when it comes to creating tastes for some of the world’s largest beverage corporations, Dafoe’s companies, Flavorman and Distilled Spirits Epicenter have had their finger in many pies.

“When we opened the Distilled Spirits Epicenter, we immediately hit the Kentucky Distillers Association, saying that we need an educational component, and if we always want to make something happen we need to push.”

But in the last year, with craft brewing and distilling on the rise, Dafoe and his team have shifted a lot of their focus to alcohol. Where once 80 percent of their business was focused on beverage development, now it firmly concerns alcohol. And in a city renowned for its distilling history, Dafoe has sought to bring the industry front and center on the map.

One key way in which this is likely to happen is through the development and introduction of a bourbon certification program that’s being spearheaded by Dafoe and his colleagues. The goal is to make sure that when tourists or locals want to enjoy alcohol in the city, they’re being served by individuals as knowledgeable as sommeliers are about wine.

“Kentucky is a little behind the curve when it comes to opening up new distilleries compared to states like Washington and Oregon, New York,” Dafoe explains. “They’re leading the pack when it comes to opening new distilleries but Kentucky is catching up.”

“If you’re going to become a city all about bourbon, then you need all the folks like bartenders and mixologists, to know what bourbon is all about,” Dafoe explains. “Often when you go into restaurants, and you know what you are talking about and start asking questions, you realize they (bartenders) sometimes make stuff up. We want a universal certification, starting in Kentucky, but with the goal of making it nationwide.”

One way in which Dafoe has become a game-changer in Louisville is by striving to bring an educational element into the distilling process. The company’s Moonshine University seeks to educate professionals and enthusiasts about the process, while the Distilled Spirits Epicenter helps companies develop new drinks that will soon hit the market.

“We’ve spent time working with the governor, the city and the state legislature because we’ve always said that Kentucky should be the epicenter of distilled spirits because historically it always has been,” Dafoe continues. “We don’t want to see that move to other states because it belongs here.”

With the help of the Mayor’s office the goal is to make this a reality in 2015. For Dafoe though, he’s just happy knowing that whether it’s soft drinks or spirits, Louisville is as thirsty as ever – for knowledge and libations alike. VT For more information visit www.ds-epicenter.com

If you have an idea you think might be too mad to realize, LVL1 should be the first port of call to connect with like-minded, creative and experimental people right on your door-step. With all the tools you could possibly wish for and a democratic and like-minded membership LVL1 is the best place to make your madcap ideas come true.

or those tired of endless classic rock tracks, sports call-in shows or screaming talking-heads and politics, all interspersed with ads every 30 seconds, try tuning into ARTxFM, the Louisville station for locals and by locals.

Begun as a non-profit in 2011 and continuously on-air since 2013, ARTxFM is run by director Sharon Scott with the sole goal of creating programming that’s firmly geared to focus on diversity – giving people the chance to explore new ground and topics not often heard anywhere else. It’s the difference between ARTxFM and every other station including NPR.

tion also receives listeners from up to 20 different countries each day. “We have an old time country show, so there might be a specific audience that tunes into that show, and that’s going to be very different from the audience that tunes into the hip-hop show. At the same time, we hope that it will kind of bring everyone together. Maybe people who normally listen to the hip-hop show are like, ‘This ARTxFM is really cool – it’s the voice of our community members.’ So instead of catering to the music tastes that people already have, we hope that we’ll open people up to new ideas.”

“I think the difference is that public radio offers a very valuable service, but most of the time, their programming is syndicated nationwide,” Scott explains, who has spent her entire life in radio, ever since she caught the bug working for her college radio station.

For now though, Scott and her collection of DJs are hoping that their radio mast will be completed in the coming year and increase their listenership further, which as of now is online only. Indeed, 2015 is shaping up to be a big year for ARTxFM and for radio in Louisville, a chance to make waves and broadcast the sound of change.

“So you’re not getting the local flavor and the local voices. There are some exceptions, and there are some great shows on the local NPR stations, but to have a station in the community that is giving a voice to community members, around the clock, like ours, is incredible.”

The station funded mostly by members and donors – some from around the world – has 120 volunteer DJs hosting 80 shows, each with their own unique offering to the airwaves. From poetry and literary discussions, to obscure electronica, and live bands that make their way into the ARTxFM studio on Market Street, from time to time.

“We want to always keep the programming fresh,” concludes Scott. “And we want to always bring in new talent.

I really encourage people to keep trying it out. There are going to be some shows they like, and some shows they don’t. And maybe some of the shows that at first they don’t really think they like, they might continue to give it a chance.” VT

“We hope to reach a very wide audience, but maybe in a more specific way,” Scott explains, who adds that the sta-

While the museum is in it’s second year of renovation, d’Humières and his ever growing cast of colleagues have been taking art where it belongs – into the community.

“The first year of the Art Detectives was a huge success,” explains d’Humières. “We reached 2,800 hundred kids and for next year we have close to 5,000 already booked.”

arlier this year, teachers and friends Caroline King, Kristen Thomas, Amy Clifford and Katie Taliaferro won a national yearlong competition to create a school from the ground up. Create a dream school where students would receive the type of education and care rarely seen elsewhere.

Since the announcement of their win, it was decided that their plan for a new-look school will instead be implemented at Atkinson Elementary in Louisville’s Portland neighborhood. While the plan now doesn’t include a newly built school, it’s still a chance for the teachers to enact some of their vision and make real changes in education during 2015, and for years to come.

“I think when this program originated, the whole point was to better the community,” Kristen Thomas explains. “So that is our goal, whether its through students, or parents, families all as one, and hopefully that will spread to the community.

While JCPS has decided not to implement Reach Academy’s plan in full, they are very much supportive of teachers’ ideas, and are ready to embrace their input by creating a Reach Coordinator position that will oversee any changes within the new look school.

For King, she’s most looking forward to developing and growing the after-school programs that were a cornerstone of their vision. In turn making the school a hub for the local community in the neighborhood.

“I think I’m most excited about the after school aspect because we’re going to try to target students that need that intervention and to grow as learners,” King explains. “And they’ll be getting that extra meal after school because they

don’t get those services elsewhere. So that will be a positive push for them.”

“If it’s successful – and hopefully it is – then they can implement it in other schools,” Clifford adds.

Another positive from the plan that the team are working hard to bring to fruition is providing services to the school that lie outside of child education – areas such as health and adult learning. One is a partnership with the National Center for Families Learning.

“I’m excited about the National Center for Family Learning,” Thomas adds. “That’s one of the things that all four of us agreed we would really like implemented in our schools, helping the community, including the adults. With Portland being an up and coming neighborhood, hopefully we can get some revitalization and get some parent successes out there.”

For now though, the young teachers have been busy attending weekly meetings, since September, figuring out how to provide the best education possible for the students they’re so passionate about. In a few years the plan is to expand Atkinson Elementary through to middle school grades.

For now, though, it’s a learning curve for students and teachers alike. VT

A community group dedicated to providing support to LGBTQIA youths from ages 14-20 throughout Louisville and Southern Indiana, the goal has always been simple – to provide a safe and supportive environment for youths at a time when it may be hard to find that elsewhere, whether in school or at home.

Headed up for the past year by executive director Elizabeth Stith, LYG focuses on boosting youth self esteem through mentoring programs and regular meetings that focus on college and career prep, safe sex practices, personal finance and overall positive personal development.

OPINION

The Worst Sin

T

he Ten Commandments is the most morally influential piece of legislation ever written. To give a good idea of how relevant each of the ten is, take the third commandment, one of the two most misunderstood commandments (the other is “Do not Murder,” which I explained previously).

Is there such a thing as “the worst sin” – one sin that is worse than all others?

How do we know?

From the third of the Ten Commandments. This is the only one of the ten that states that God will not forgive a person who violates the commandment.

What does this commandment say?

It is most commonly translated as, “Do not take the name of the Lord thy God in vain. For the Lord will not hold creators.com guiltless” – meaning “will not forgive” – whoever takes His name in vain.”

DENNIS PRAGER

In fact, there is.

I am aware that some people differ. They maintain that we can’t declare any sin worse than any other. “To God, a sin is a sin,” is how it’s often expressed. In this view, a person who steals a stapler from the office is committing as grievous a sin in God’s eyes as a murderer.

But most people intuitively, as well as biblically, understand that some sins are clearly worse than others. We are confident that God has at least as much common sense as we do.

The God of Judaism and Christianity does not equate stealing an office item with murder.

So, then, what is the worst sin?

The worst sin is committing evil in God’s name.

is not the problem. The problem is the translation. The Hebrew original doesn’t say “Do not take;” it says “Do not carry.” The Hebrew literally reads, “Do not carry the name of the Lord thy God in vain.”

This is reflected in one of the most widely used new translations of the Bible, the New International Version, or NIV, which uses the word “misuse” rather than the word “take:” “You shall not misuse the name of the Lord your God.” This is much closer to the original’s intent.

Because of this translation, most people understandably think that the commandment forbids saying God’s name for no good reason.

So, something like, “God, did I have a rough day at work today!” violates the third commandment.

What does it mean to “carry” or to “misuse” God’s name? It means committing evil in God’s name.

But that interpretation presents a real problem. It would mean that whereas God could forgive the violation of any of the other commandments – dishonoring one’s parents, stealing, adultery or even committing murder – He would never forgive someone who said, “God, did I have a rough day at work today!”

When an irreligious person commits evil, it doesn’t bring God and religion into disrepute. But when a religious person commits evil in God’s name he destroys the greatest hope for goodness on earth – belief in a God who demands goodness, and who morally judges people.

Let’s be honest: That would render God and the Ten Commandments morally incomprehensible.

The Nazis and Communists were horrifically cruel mass murderers. But their evils only sullied their own names, not the name of God. But when religious people commit evil, especially in God’s name, they are not only committing evil, they are doing terrible damage to the name of God.

As it happens, however, the commandment

And that God will not forgive.

Why not?

In our time, there are, unfortunately, many examples of this. The evils committed by Islamists who torture, bomb, cut throats and mass murder – all in the name of their God – do terrible damage to the name of God. It is not coincidental that what is called the New Atheism – the immense eruption of atheist activism – followed the 9/11 attack on America by Islamist terrorists. In fact, the most frequent argument against God and religion concerns evil committed in God’s name – whether it is done in the name of Allah today or was done in the past in the name of Christ.

People who murder in the name of God not only kill their victims, they kill God, too.

That’s why the greatest sin is religious evil.

That’s what the third commandment is there to teach: Don’t carry God’s name in vain. If you do, God won’t forgive you.

Paige says many doctors are frustrated with the traditional approach.

“The system now is really pigeonholing us,” he says.

“Medicine now is sort of taking the art out of medicine. In an effort to make it a very specific science, it’s losing the ability to address the individual’s needs.”

As science advances, Paige is confident more doctors will take the approach he’s taking.

“In the major centers traditional medicine looks to for cutting-edge development, they’re already doing this, and Louisville really hasn’t got there yet,” he says. “I think that it’s headed in that direction.”

Koch, Joseph Michael, Jr., 80 Koch, Joseph Michael, Jr., 80, peacefully passed away on Dec. 23, 2014.

Joe was the son of Joseph Michael “Bud” Koch, Sr. and Mary Evelyn Downs Koch. He was a graduate of St. Elizabeth Catholic Elementary School, St. Xavier High School and the University of Kentucky.

Joe will be remembered as a wonderful father, grandfather, husband and loyal friend. He maintained many of his grade school, high school, and college friendships throughout his lifetime. He was a lifelong UK fan, attending nearly every home football game for the past 60 years. He was a member of St. Francis of Rome Parish and Hurstbourne Country Club, where he golfed every Thursday afternoon for over 30 years.

Football was his lifelong passion and he excelled at the sport from an early age at St. Elizabeth. He was a three-year start-

22

er for St. X and was voted “Star of Stars” in the Kentucky-Indiana High School All-Star game following his senior year. He was elected to the St. X Hall of Honors in 1984. While attending St. X, Joe was also an assistant coach for the St. Elizabeth Elementary School team that played in the inaugural Toy Bowl in 1949.

Joe went on to a storied football career at UK (1951-1954), where he met fellow UK student Sallie O’Bryan, whom he married the year after graduation. At UK he was a three-year starter as a guard and linebacker (at a playing weight of 205 pounds!). As a freshman, he was a member of Coach Paul “Bear” Bryant’s 1952 victorious Cotton Bowl team and, at that time, he was the youngest player ever to play in the Cotton Bowl.

He was elected Co-Captain his senior year. Joe’s UK teams compiled winning records four years in a row, with a combined 27-133 record during his tenure. He always said one of his best memories was beating the Tennessee Volunteers his junior and senior years.

He was honored to play for Coach Bryant for his first three years at UK and for Coach Blanton Collier in his senior year. He remained close to both coaches and many of his teammates long after his playing days.

After graduating from UK, Joe served in the United States Air Force from 1954 to 1956, stationed in Salina, KS, where he flew multiple missions conducting in-flight refueling of B-52 and B-47 bombers.

After his service he returned to Louisville to begin his business career in sales with American Air Filter. He left AAF for a position as Air Filtration Sales Manager at Commercial Filter Company in Lebanon, IN. In August 1966, Joe returned to his hometown of Louisville to found Koch Filter Corporation. From the early days in a two-room office on Shelby Street, the business evolved into one of the

Joe was preceded in death by his parents and his beloved first wife Sallie Ann O’Bryan Koch, to whom he was married from 1955 until her passing in 1994.

He is survived by his loving wife Mary Ann Kempf Koch, his children Michael ( Joanna), Kathy Grisanti (Paul), David (Lynne) and John (Leigh Ann), grandchildren Peter, Matthew, Chris, Diana, Nick, Joseph, Ben, Katie, Jack, Amanda and Bobby, stepchildren Anne Marie, Linda, Theresa and step-grandchildren Erik, Ande, Kelcey, Taylor, Alex, William. He will be greatly missed by his many Nelson County relatives who knew him affectionately as “Buddy Joe” and by his many other friends and extended family.

The family would like to thank Hosparus for the kind and gentle care they provided Joe in the final months of his life. Memorial gifts may be made online or mailed to Hosparus of Louisville, 3532 Ephraim McDowell Drive, Louisville, KY 40205 or to St. Xavier High School, 1609 Poplar Level Road Louisville, Kentucky 40217.

Visitation was 1-7 p.m. on Sunday, Dec. 28th at Ratterman Brothers Funeral Home, 12900 Shelbyville Road, East Louisville, KY 40243. A Mass to celebrate Joe’s life was held at 10 a.m. Monday Dec. 29, 2014 at St. Leonard Catholic Church, 440 Zorn Avenue, followed by burial at Calvary Cemetery.

A Bitter Yet Healthy Pill To Swallow

A

s tempting as I know it is to do, I don’t like when people on either side of the UK/UofL rivalry try to downplay it after a loss. The fans who make it a point to say, “this game doesn’t even matter” or “let’s see what happens in March” are usually the same ones who are the most upset.

MIKE RUTHERFORD

the Cardinal teams of the past four seasons have been some of the best in recent memory. For whatever reason, everything seems to change for UofL when Kentucky is thrown into the equation. The coach talks differently, the players play differently, and the fans cheer differently. It’s not a good different either, as recent history has proven.

@cardchronicle

Of course the NCAA Tournament matters more than a non-conference game in December, but Louisville fans shouldn’t act like their team’s seventh loss in eight tries against Kentucky doesn’t leave them feeling dejected.

Embracing the pain just makes it better when you’re on the other side.

It’s just like when UK won the national title in 2012. The best thing to do was grin, bear it, and hope you were able to know the same euphoria a year from then. Everyone’s after the sport’s top prize, and when you diminish the accomplishment one year it makes you feel a little artificial when you attempt to fully embrace the moment when your team accomplishes the same thing.

On a grander scale, the things we learned about this Louisville team on Saturday were mostly things we had thought were true about the Cardinals already.

UofL is one of the best teams in the country, but they’re a notch below that elite top level reserved for Kentucky and Duke. Right now. The Cards’ defense is going to keep them in every game they play, but they don’t have the type of offense that’s going to allow them to win six straight against elite competition in March. Right now. Louisville’s guards have the talent to be the best backcourt duo in the country, but they don’t know when to take a semi-challenged look and when to keep the ball moving. Right now.

Under a head coach whose teams tend to make as marked an improvement as any between December and March, this should all be viewed as exciting. And it would be, had the opponent doing the teaching on Saturday not been from Lexington.

There’s no question at this point that Kentucky’s dominance over Louisville has become “a thing,” a pill which is especially bitter to swallow when you consider that J A N U A R Y 1 , 2 0 1 5 • W W W . V O I C E -T R I B U N E . C O M

Assuming Louisville and Kentucky don’t meet in the NCAA Tournament for a third time in four years, UofL’s graduating seniors will end their Cardinal careers with only one victory over their arch-rivals.

One is also the number of victories that Connecticut’s star guard Shabazz Napier ended his college career with against Louisville. It didn’t make national headlines because Louisville-UConn isn’t under the type of microscope that the Battle for the Commonwealth is, and because Napier also just happened to head to the NBA with two national championships in his belt. That should be the goal for the Cardinal players who are taking Saturday’s loss the hardest.

Louisville basketball, there’s still an entire season of basketball ahead, and that season will feature one of the strongest and most exciting conference slates the program has ever seen. In a little over a week, the Cards head to the Dean Dome to take on North Carolina. A week after that, undefeated and second-ranked Duke heads to the Yum! Center in a game likely to get the ESPN College GameDay treatment.

There was no title exchange inside the KFC Yum! Center last Saturday. No trophies were hoisted and no nets were cut down. The Louisville Cardinals are still the state of Kentucky’s most recent king of college basketball, and in a few months they’re going to have an opportunity to repeat the feat they achieved in 2013. It’s normal for every fan loyal to the color red to be upset about the loss, but not so much so that you lose sight of those facts. VT The Card’s Montrezl Harrell attempts to shoot over the long arms of the Cats.

Louisville played a team that appears to be one of college basketball’s best over the last couple of decades and took them down to the wire in one of the sport’s most pressure-filled environments.

That’s an experience from which some huge positives can be extracted if everyone on the team reacts to it the right way.

ell, the epic struggle is in the books for another year.

And epic it was! Exactly what I expected, too. I never for a moment thought this would be a one-sided blowout for either team.

Catnip STEVE KAUFMAN

Pretty? Not so much. Definitive?

Only time will tell.

But intense. Physical. Emotional. Like any game between two of the nation’s top four teams ought to be. And when you add in the fact that these two teams are rival programs on rival campuses with rival coaches – the word “dislike” has been thrown around, the word “hate” used more than once – it’s as big a win for the winner as it is a loss for the loser.

The immediate post-game analysis was, predictably, that Kentucky just survived. It was, after all, the first UK win this season by less than 10 points.

Would the game have been different if Terry Rozier and Chris Jones had hit some of their shots? Of course. But Rick Pitino’s Cardinal teams haven’t won in the past by guards dribbling to the three-point line and heaving ‘em up. The threes on Pitino teams are strategic, a result of the flow of the possession. They have been ever since his 1990 Knicks were changing the NBA game with platoons of long-range bombers.

Even Russ Smith, nightly leader of the U of L box score’s FGA line, benefited from the uncanny inside-outside play engineered by Peyton Siva.

It was noteworthy that Montrezl Harrell had nine shot attempts in the game, while the two guards lofted 33. His nine points and eight rebounds were a statistical low point for him this season.

However, in a game previewed as the battle of the behemoths, the one who turned it all around was 5-foot-9 mighty mite Tyler Ulis. I do not want to get into the whole backcourt argument, because I still believe Andrew Harrison is one of the best point guards in the country. But Saturday, at any rate, Ulis gave UK what he has provided all season. (No, not his own blood – though that, too. And for the record, it was red.)

He raced the ball upcourt against a weary UofL backcourt duo that played all but 11 minutes of the game. He penetrated and ran the baseline the way Siva and John Wall used to do.

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

And – this must be noted – he also took eight shots. Only Aaron Harrison (10) took more. He’s not afraid to take that shot, the sort of push shot with both toes on the floor that flourished in the 1950s. Even from behind the three-ball line. And he has that nifty pull-up-in-the-lane teardrop shot, too.

But this game was won on defense.

For all coaches’ drawing up X’s for the other teams’ O’s, defense in the end is about energy and relentlessness.

The steals and shot blocks grab our attention, but what we often miss is the defenders racing around the perimeter as the ball is rotated, fighting through screens, keeping their focus, moving their feet, out-energizing the guys with the ball, making them work the entire clock until they have to make an unwise pass or take a desperate shot.

You have to have people with the right mindset, and somehow Calipari gets them. He had them in 2011, an overachieving team that fought into the Final Four. He had them in 2012, his championship team whose best asset was the smothering defense of Anthony Davis, Michael Kidd-Gilchrist and Terrence Jones. (I still don’t think Jones gets his due credit on that team.)

And this year, he has the guys willing to put on their hard hats, go in and dig the ditches for marginal personal reward. There are no columns in the box score for defensive effort. Dakari Johnson, Marcus Lee, Willie Cauley-Stein, the twins and – especially – Devin Booker have bought into the system. Calipari could have been talking about any of them when he said, about Booker, “I never saw him play defense in high school. He didn’t have to. He just shot the ball.”

So will Bud Walton Arena at Arkansas and the Pete Maravich Center at LSU. Both schools had good pre-seasons. Vanderbilt and Tennessee are always tough road games for UK, no matter their records.

Mostly, though, Calipari views the SEC schedule, even right through the tournament, as the chance to prepare these guys for the Big Dance.

And that began Saturday, in the lions den of the KFC Yum! Center.

The crowd in red noisily supported the gladiators. But the lions won.

WINTER’S BEST RIVALRY, BAR NONE! I’m glad the UK-UofL contretemps are finally getting national recognition. North Carolina-Duke has that Tobacco Road charm, I suppose, and of course they do play each other in conference. But no two rivals have had the mutual success over the past five years of the Cats and Cardinals. Ready-for-TV Hallof-Fame coaches. Two national championships.

Five Final Four appearances. And that annual Christmas-New Year’s face-off between two top-ranked teams.

We don’t have an HBO documentary yet.

But there is a book out called “Fightin’ Words”

by Joe Cox and Ryan Clark that recounts the colorful history. It’s all there: Rupp and Hickman, Hall and Crum, Pitino’s Cats and Pitino’s Cards. Sky Walker and Never Nervous, Dr. Dunkenstein to Russdiculous, Monster Mash to Unibrow.

It is the best of times for this I-64 rivalry – and maybe another April match-up in the works. VT

But forgetting Ulis and Booker for the moment, the highlight of the day, for me, was the constantly increasing level of play by the two big frosh, Karl-Anthony Towns and Trey Lyles.

Yeah, they score sometimes. Lyles has a pretty jump shot from the elbow, Towns has nice moves underneath. Neither one is averaging in double figures. But they’re grabbing defensive rebounds the Calipari way – both hands, vice grips, UK ball. Aggressively, energetically, even viciously, outleaping and outfighting without fouling.

And so, it’s on to the SEC. The 40-and0 talk will only ratchet up. Maybe it’ll happen. It’s a long haul with a lot of road games. Florida’s O-Dome will be noisy and rocking. It always is for Kentucky.

But Louisville lost the battion of All-Americans ever tle on Saturday and come April, they may lose assembled under one banner just beat the war along with everyone else. their deadly intra-state rival Louis“They [Kentucky] are one of the best ville. Handily. teams, defensively, that I have seen in my last 40 years of coaching,” explained Pitino.

“I like my freshmen,” beamed Calipari.

“There are other good freshmen in the country, but I would take mine.”

“We don’t have much of a bench right now…and I think that they [Kentucky] wore us down in the second half a little.”

For some, Saturday’s matchup between University of Kentucky (1) and University of Louisville (4) that ended 58-50 in Kentucky’s favor would be the biggest test for either team. Both are defensive powerhouses capable of shutting down even the slickest of offenses but a question remained. Who would break and leave the arena with their undefeated record intact?

“Coming into the game we knew we were good on defense but the question was whether we could score. We could not.”

For Louisville the game was a catalogue of offensive errors. One assist the entire game. A self-destructive 21 percent success rate shooting from the field in the first half that only saw fit to go up to 26 percent by game’s end. Three 3-point shots made on 14 attempts. Make no mistake, Louisville played badly on offense, matched Kentucky on defense for long stretches, but succumbed to the same fate as every other Wildcats’ opponent – lack of depth and physicality.

For Calipari the game may have been a stern test, but it was ultimately passed with flying colors by his star-studded roster. And despite claiming that the remaining games of the regular season will still pose a challenge, it’s obvious to anyone who witnessed Kentucky’s victory at the KFC Yum! Center that it’s safest not to bet against the Wildcats going undefeated for the remainder of the season.

A win against Louisville ensures that Kentucky will likely not play a tougher opponent until the NCAA tournament because Lexington’s finest drove 90 miles to their rivals and showed few signs of ever being truly troubled against a team only 3 spots lower in the rankings. The hype is still utterly deserved.

Sure, Terry Rozier may be the only Louisville player who can walk away from the game with some form of pride having topscored with 15, pairing that with 8 rebounds, but his team mates will know they needed to do a lot better.

For Kentucky, one of many highlights was the play of point-guard Tyler Ulis, who notched 14 points and through whom much of Kentucky’s offense was directed. Elsewhere UofL’s Terry Rozier battled for the ball.

“I don’t want arrogance,” explained Calipari. “I want swagger. You earn swagger by working hard, playing well and trusting your teammates.”

As for the rest of the season Calipari is planning on enjoying the ride.

“I’m having a ball coaching this team. Every morning I wake up whistling and skipping. I have the greatest group of kids.” VT

#1 Kentucky improved to 13-0 with a 58-50 win over #4 Louisville on Saturday at the KFC Yum! Center. The Cats held the Cards to just 25.9 percent shooting from the field and outrebounded them 46-33. UK was led by freshman point guard Tyler Ulis, who scored 14 points. The four Cats freshmen combined to score 39 of UK’s 58 points. Another glaring statistic from the game: UofL had just one assist on 15 made field goals.

Here is some post game reaction from both sides. The Cats now lead the all-time series 33-15.

Have you ever had a team have just one assist, and is that a product of UK making it so hard to pass?

Maybe you knew it already, but did Tyler Ulis show you something today, in that kind of environment?

Booker: This is nothing new to me. We’ve been friends since 8th grade and we’ve been on a lot of camp teams, I’ve seen him do it

How can you put into words the frustration of trying to move the ball and get shots against their length?

Terry Rozier (UofL): It created a lot of frustration. They were taking away the drib-

ble hand off, down screens, they did a good job playing defense. We tried to prepare for it, knowing that’s what they do, but it was kind of tough with their length.

It ends up being an eight point game; you didn’t shoot well as a team.

Does it make you want another shot at them, thinking that you’re that close to the #1 team in the country?

Rozier: Def initely, since the beginning of the game we knew that we were going to be in the game, and that we could beat them. We just came up short. We just didn’t hit shots. But live to fight another day; play the next game and go from there.

When you see that you had just one assist as a team, does that jump off the stat sheet to you, is that shocking?

Rozier: Yes that is. It’s crazy. I think they’re length bothered us. We couldn’t really dump the ball down low. Coach preached to get our mid-range shots going off the flat screen, and I mean I guess that’s what we looked for, but we couldn’t get assists.

What positives can you take from playing UK to an eight point game?

Wayne Blackshear (UofL): We don’t back down from any team.

We’re going to play as hard as we can no matter who it is and we just couldn’t hit shots at the end, and that’s what hurt us. VT Kentucky head coach John Calipari now holds a 7-1 record against Louisville coach Rick Pitino since taking over the reigns at UK. Coach Cal also edges Pitino 12-9 during their college careers overall.

Reasons to Cheer the Arrival of 2015

B

y the time these thoughts are before your eyes it will be New Year’s Eve, so let’s begin by offering a fervent wish that 2015 will be a spectacular 12-month run, and a wonderful addition to your body of work on our planet.

Keeneland has wonderful tradition, a great team and one of the most picturesque settings in American racing.

For those who care about what happens in competition on raceHorse Sense tracks across the land, the year ahead offers incredible promise because of the large number of JOHN proven stars of 2014 being pointed ASHER toward campaigns in the New Year and, of course, the youngsters will officially become 3-year-olds on the first day And Happy Birthday to every Thoroughof that year. The latter are the candidates bred in existence, as New Year’s Day is the for the Kentucky Derby and the Longines date each turns one year older for purposes Kentucky Oaks that will be run at Churchill of competition.

Participation in the horse industry brings It is encouraging that we head into the with it a ratio of disappointment-to-joy that New Year with an unsettled debate over is unbalanced toward the former. It has been which member of last year’s outstanding that way since day. But, as an adage goes, no crop of 3-year-olds will earn the honors of one with a 2-year-old in their barn ever con2014’s champion of that age group and, most templated suicide. Which brings us to 2015, likely, “Horse of the Year.” The top three a year that offers a feeling of optimism that in a talented group are Kentucky Derby might be a bit more robust than usual. and Preakness winner California Chrome, First off, let us celebrate the return of the once-beaten Pacific Classic winner and 2013 Breeders’ Cup Championships to Kentucky juvenile champion Shared Belief and Bayas the event makes its first stop at Keeneland ern, who traveled a controversial path to victory in $5 million Breeders’ Cup Classic in on Oct. 30-31. his final start of 2014.

Bayenr’s Classic, where members of the current crop of 3-year-olds finished in the first six positions, remains a good measure of the quality of the stars of that age group.

Shared Belief, who suffered his lone loss of the year when he was wiped out by Bayern at the start of the Classic, ended his season last Saturday with a victory in the seven-furlong Malibu at Santa Anita. California Chrome completed the year a bit earlier in a romp on grass in the Hollywood Derby, joining Secretariat as the only Derby winners to also score Grade I wins on turf.

Another exciting prospect is the possible return of two-time Horse of the Year Wise Dan. Mort Fink’s star gelding will turn eight on New Year’s Day. Wise Dan was perfect in four starts, and the possible return of the champ will be one of the major stories to watch in 2015.

The unbeaten Dortmund counts a win at Churchill Downs and the Grade I Los Alamitos Derby among his three victories for 3-time Kentucky Derby winner Bob Baffert.

Main Sequence, another talented turf star and Horse of the Year candidate after he made the Breeders’ Cup Turf his fourth consecutive Grade I grass win, also has a 2015 racing schedule in the works.

Also training toward a return in 2015 is Kentucky Oaks and Breeders’ Cup Distaff winner Untapable, who will be named champion 3-year-old filly of 2014. She should improve on her stellar 2014 season.

This writer, for one, would love to see Untapable get at least one more honest shot against the talented boys in her generation.

She will, however, need a new jockey as regular rider Rosie Napravnik is retired and expecting a baby around Derby and Oaks time.

Which brings us to the Derby and Oaks horses, about 120 days away from their respective goals. In racing, that stretch can be ample time to develop if your horse is doing well, or if you’re already off schedule because of illness or injury, no time at all.

The 79-year-old Hall of Fame trainer D. Wayne Lukas has a major Kentucky Oaks contender in Take Charge Brandi.

Since the conclusion of the Churchill Downs meet, a victory – albeit a narrow one – by unbeaten Dortmund in a fast running of the Los Alamitos Futurity places him in the upper ranks of soon-to-be 3-year-olds looking toward the Kentucky Derby. The D. Wayne Lukas trained Take Charge Brandi, the 61-1 upset winner of the Breeders’ Cup Juvenile Fillies, won the Grade I Starlet over the same track for her third straight Grade I win and likely sewed up the honor of champion 2-year-old filly of 2014.

Here are my top 10’s in the Derby and Oaks divisions for those 3-year-olds that are about to celebrate birthdays: Kentucky Derby: 1. American Pharoah 2. Dortmund 3. Imperia 4. Eagle 5. Texas Red 6. Carpe Diem 7. Mawthooq 8. Competitive Edge 9. The Great War 10. El Kabier.

Bearcats Pound Bulldogs The Kentucky Country Day Bearcats defeated the Burgin Bulldogs on Friday, Dec. 26 56-10.

Sydney Mathis led KCD with 23 points.

he Eastern Eagles have been on an impressive hot streak to start their season, rocketing all the way to No. 13 in the state of Kentucky. On their 7-0 campaign, Eastern won the Best In Hoops Classic at Oldham County, but have had close calls against Kentucky Country Day (66-61) and Henry Clay (74-72).

The Fairdale Bulldogs will look to end that winning streak when the two teams clash. Eastern is averaging 57.7 points per game, and 30 rebounds per game. Aside from the stellar offense, the Bulldogs smothering defense will need to step up in order to hand Eastern its first loss of the season.

Fairdale’s defense is averaging 5.3 steals per game, and Damon Moore is leading the team with 1.3 steals per game. Senior guard Rontez Johnson is averaging 14.1 points to lead Fairdale, and racking up a team-leading 7.4 rebounds per game. Four of Fairdale’s five losses on the season have come in the last five games, and the game against Eastern will be Fairdale’s first game back in town, after the Barnstorm Christmas Classic in Georgia. Fairdale will look to snap the recent slump and end Eastern’s winning streak Jan. 2 at 6 p.m.

Wildcats Are The Toughest Nut To Crack TONY VANETTI: Another dream game in the books, and Kentucky comes up with another win. Matt, your thoughts on an eight-point victory for the Cats?

MATT JONES: Well the series has kind of become a nightmare for Rick. Kentucky was the better team this year, and so the result was not really a surprise. That was about the margin I expected. The storyline is that it’s now seven of eight for Calipari, and it’s not exactly clear when that ends.

And for Pitino it seems like the series is miserable for him. He looked awful during the game in terms of not wanting to be there.

And if it was up to him I don’t know that he’d still want to play it.

VANETTI: It was awful timing, I agree with you there. For a year that you need a win against Cal, this is the team that you can’t compete with. Again, it was a hardfought game, it was a very physical game in the KFC Yum! Center. It was tight for most of the game. But as most people predicted, as we both predicted, in the last 10 minutes of the game, it was owned by the Cats.

JONES: It’s striking to me to look at the two coaches during the game. I think they both want to win a lot. I don’t believe Cal when he acts like the game doesn’t mean as much. But it’s striking to me how different they both look during the game. Cal is laughing and energetic, and Rick looks like he’s at a wake. I think that can’t help but have an effect on the team.

VANETTI: He hasn’t been like that the last couple of years, and it’s transferred to the team. The teams have played better. I don’t know why Rick sometimes coaches this game tight. He hasn’t had the best game J A N U A R Y 1 , 2 0 1 5 • W W W . V O I C E -T R I B U N E . C O M

plan in the last couple of years against Calipari. It has shown. Kentucky hasn’t had more talent or better talent every time out, but they come up with a victory. I’m not sure about that one. What did you think about Rick’s game plan this time around?

JONES: I knew he was going to do that, and that’s what he had to do. I agree with you, in years past I haven’t understood the game plan. Especially last year, both times they played. This year though, he had no choice. Nobody in the country can run with Kentucky. I do think Pitino has undergone a shift in style. His teams have played slower in the last five years, than they have in the past. But, he didn’t have a choice but to do it this game. With that said, I was surprised at his substitution pat-

terns. I don’t watch every Louisville game, but I was surprised they didn’t play Anas Mahmoud. I’m surprised they didn’t try Anton Gill at all. Chris Jones essentially played them out of the game at times, and they stayed with him. I know he and Pitino aren’t best buddies, but I just don’t understand staying down the same path that’s not working.

VANETTI: Well, I think he was afraid Anas would get pushed around.

JONES: The other guys got pushed around.

VANETTI: No, there’s no question about that. I think the worst part for Louisville fans is not the 1-7 against Cal. Yes it hurts, but mostly at least for me, it wasn’t the vetP H O T O B Y C H R I S H U M P H R E Y S | T H E V O I C E -T R I B U N E

erans that beat Louisville on Saturday. It was the darn freshmen again. The freshmen come up big against Louisville every year. That’s the biggest argument for Louisville fans “Oh, well the freshmen can’t beat the veterans.” Ulis came up big, Lyles was big. The freshmen come in and play against Louisville all of the time.

JONES: That’s a good point. Cal over the years has had freshman that are just overwhelming talent. Wall, Cousins, Gilchrist, etc. But that’s not these freshmen. Tony don’t you think these freshmen for Kentucky you can all see playing for Louisville?

Every one of them you could see being a Louisville player. They’re all kind of Pitino type players. They’re not amazing physical specimens like Cal has had. And for those guys to win, I think that has to be particularly stinging. Because all of these guys are Pitino guys.

VANETTI: And in that environment. By the way, are you still in love with Jennifer Lawrence? I know you want to marry her.

JONES: I think she’s kind of a fake fan. I saw that our friend Terry Meiners had to bring her UofL gear to wear to the game.

If you’re a real Jennifer Lawrence. fan I don’t think you need to have someone bring you Louisville gear. There was a great scene where she was trying to follow along with the CARDS cheer. It was

like she was trying to understand what was happening. So I still love her as an actress.

I can’t stand that she’s a UofL fan, but I don’t think she really is a fan. I think she was just there.

VANETTI: She’s true to the Cardinals.

I agree with you. It was not a fun game to watch and it ended up with the Cats winning. So, I’ll say congratulations; the last two losses for Louisville have been the Cats. So, you move on to your SEC slate and Louisville moves on to the ACC.

JONES: Because every true Cardinal fan doesn’t have a Louisville shirt. They would need Terry Meiners to bring them a shirt.

VANETTI: I will agree with you this, She did mess up on the CARDS cheer. It’s pretty simple. But okay, the environment was crazy. You’ve got to say, even though it’s lop-sided in Kentucky’s favor at this point in the rivalry, it’s still the nation’s best.

JONES: Well it’s the nation’s most vitriolic rivalry. The fans are the most into it. But these games are not good games.

They’re not fun to watch, really. Part of it is that the style that Rick employs in these games makes them hard to watch. They’re slow, they grind it out, they’re hacking and they’re grabbing. It’s just not a fun brand of basketball. But I will give Louisville fans this, I did think that environment was great. It was loud. I was there pre-game and it was exciting. Sometimes I think Louisville games feel like professional games and not college games. But I didn’t feel that on Saturday. I thought their fans really brought it. Unfortunately, the fans couldn’t get into the game very often because there just weren’t enough runs for Louisville, for the crowd to really get into.

VANETTI: Even though they’re used to the Big East days where a lot of games looked like that, physical, grinders 52-50,

RéVive’s VelaShape III body contouring laser was also utilized to illustrate how easy and painless this “fat cell destroying” process can be. Over 100 guest were invited to give their skin the gift of sparkle and shine for the holiday season, while they enjoyed fantastic food from Havana Rumba.

A New You for the New Year Let’s be honest. Most of us are going to make New Year’s resolutions that will fizzle out in a few months. It can be daunting when your list of resolutions is as long as your holiday shopping lists. However, it is important to remember that taking smaller steps towards your goals can actually be more effective. Most of us are looking for positive change and new possibilities to enrich our lives.

One way to ring in the New Year is with a new skin regimen. Spas are a fantastic place to relax and gather your thoughts, and enjoy some much needed “Me” time. I sat down with Erica McDowell from SKYN Lounge for recommendations on the most beneficial products and treatments available.

velyn and David Sympson held their annual holiday party at their home in Indian Hills. The house is always beautifully decorated and filled with fascinating “things” to enjoy. Evelyn always has a winter village that fills the shelves of the library. David collects American historical items that are fascinating. He has an amazing collection of antique and new miniature model American Revolution-era ships, most made of bone or ivory.

The most fascinating piece was an antique sofa that Hubert Schuwey made new ball feet for. It raises the sofa to a comfortable height for senior citizens. He also made a beautiful table to match. I covet them both! Hubert is a genius.

You can always count on a good time with the Sympsons. And, there are always a goodly number of SAR’s present and that leads to interesting conversations.

EAR READERS: Welcome to 2015! If the last year was challenging for some of us, a new one has arrived, bringing with it our chance for a new beginning.

Today is the day we have an opportunity to discard destructive old habits for healthy new ones, and with that in mind, I will share Dear Abby’s often-requested list of New Year’s Resolutions, which were adapted by my late mother, Pauline Phillips, from the original credo of Al-Anon: JUST FOR TODAY: I will live through this day only. I will not brood about yesterday or obsess about tomorrow. I will not set far-reaching goals or try to overcome all of my problems at once.

I know that I can do something for 24 hours that would overwhelm me if I had to keep it up for a lifetime.

JUST FOR TODAY: I will be happy. I will not dwell on thoughts that depress me. If my mind fills with clouds, I will chase them away and fill it with sunshine.

JUST FOR TODAY: I will accept what is. I will face reality. I will correct those things that I can correct and accept those I cannot.

JUST FOR TODAY: I will improve my mind.

I will read something that requires effort, thought and concentration. I will not be a mental loafer.

JUST FOR TODAY: I will make a conscious effort to be agreeable. I will be kind and courteous to those who cross my path, and I’ll not speak ill of others. I will improve my appearance, speak softly, and not interrupt when someone else is talking.

JUST FOR TODAY: I will refrain from improving anybody but myself.

JUST FOR TODAY: I will do something positive to improve my health. If I’m a smoker, I’ll quit. If I am overweight, I will eat healthfully – if only just for today. And not only that, I will get off the couch and take a brisk walk, even if it’s only around the block.

JUST FOR TODAY: I will gather the courage to do what is right and take responsibility for my own actions.

You may have to put a little more thought into looking stylish and staying warm in the winter months. It’s easy to lose interest when temperatures drop into the single digits, and we tend to pile on the layers without putting much thought into it. The only thing that’s on our mind is how to stay warm. My advice is to choose your layers wisely. Start with thin comfortable clothing that adheres to your body shape.

wood floors. Dotting the wall shelves are antique mallard duck decoys from Sampson’s large collection.

“A client gave one to me years ago and I’ve never stopped adding to it,� he says, admitting “it’s kind of a compulsion of mine.�

But on the subject of compulsive collecting, they both admit he runs a far second to his wife. Or, as he says, “don’t take Kelley to an auction, she’s likely to buy anything!� “When I start bidding, I have to win,� she says, admitting she once bought an East Tennessee farm at an auction. “I love land, I could just buy it all day long.� Thus the couple’s art collection, which includes a Chagall and a Miro hanging in the kitchen, a Salvadore Dali in the basement, and a Picasso.

She also loves sculpture. There’s David Stuempfle pottery in the library and an Estella Loretto sculpture of a Native American woman, a smaller version of the same piece that sits in front of the statehouse in Santa Fe, New Mexico. And there are glass pieces in the kitchen, including a colorful glass chandelier, made by students of Dale Chihouly.

“I would have liked it because he bought it,� she answers.

The table sits on a red and white Russian silk Oriental rug, which influenced the red berry-colored walls in the foyer, giving the entry a bright and welcoming feel.

The furniture is a yours-mine-ours collection of pieces Sampson had, pieces Carson brought from Colorado and pieces they acquired together. A common theme is soft patterned fabrics with heavy, dark wood trim, some of which reflects the woodsy, ski lodge feel of Aspen.

However, Carson says her favorite piece of art in the house is a colorful abstract oil above the fireplace in the living room painted by none other than Sampson himself. The bright canvas of yellow, red and blue orbs, which Sampson painted on a whim, is very interpretive, says his wife. “Some see pool balls, some see eyeballs,� she says. “I call it ‘the eyes of the world.’ �

The large basement is Ernest’s playroom, with a pool table and three actual working Las Vegas slot machines that jing-jing-jing when he turns them on. It also houses his burgeoning wine collection in a temperature-controlled cellar that Carson also uses to store her furs. “Why not?� she wonders, with assured practicality. “The cool air is great for preserving furs. They love it.� VT Advertisement

Much of the furniture they acquired locally is from Ryser’s, which Carson describes as an incredibly high-end Eastern Kentucky furniture store “a diamond in the rough, in the middle of nowhere.� Actually, it’s in the middle of East Bernstadt, Ky., in the coal country of Laurel County.

How do you get there? “You go to London, Kentucky,� says Sampson, “turn left and then go a little further.�

The library is a study in wood, from the heavy built-in floor-to-ceiling cabinets along one wall to the beamed ceilings to the dark

Surprise Celebrating Wayne Jenkins and Stephen Van Hooser

LIFE

I

Written By Sue Baughman

n early December, Wayne Jenkins and Stephen Van Hooser mailed a lush, scarlet invitation to a small group of close friends, requesting their presence at a Christmas party later in the month. Little did the recipients know what the evening held in store for them at the Dartmouth on Saturday night, Dec. 20.

Wayne Jenkins and Stephen Van Hooser.

Upon arrival at the lovely building just off of Cherokee Park, guests were met with a first-class cocktail party hosted in the lobby, where Jenkins and Van Hooser had temporarily installed a fabulous bar for this special occasion. Champagne and Silver Oak flowed, and hors d’oeuvres were consumed as the precursor to an exquisite dinner many floors up. After all the guests had arrived, Larry Johnston stepped forward to quiet the crowd. No one in the room except Larry’s wife, Martha, had an inkling of the news he was about to share.

Imagine the surprise when everyone learned that while on their annual Christmas shopping trip to New York with Martha the previous week, Wayne and Steve had got married. With Martha as their witness and

only a photographer, the ceremony had been performed by Reverend Michael Cerrato on Sunday, Dec. 14, alongside the Christmas tree in Rockefeller Plaza, where New Yorkers and tourists alike stopped to witness the ceremony, and applauded graciously. The ceremony was followed by lunch and Champagne at Le Train Bleu, and shopping. Upon hearing this news, everyone quickly realized that the Christmas party they were enjoying was also a wedding celebration.

With drinks in hand, and everyone abuzz, they transitioned upstairs to Steve and Wayne’s residence. What a sight it was to behold. The beautiful living room had been emptied of its furniture and turned into an elegant dinner party. Stunning red, green and gold Christmas décor accented the room, while crystal lamps on each of four tables illuminated extraordinary flower arrangements, linens, and fine china. The guests soon found their places, and shortly thereafter the first course of dinner was served.

Longtime friend Kathy Cary had prepared a feast that began with the most delicious mushroom soup, moved on to incredible lamb shanks with Brussels sprouts, and concluded with divine cakes to choose from for dessert.

Turning your home into a dinner party for one night has many advantages, among which are great conversation and wild dancing. That and much more took place before the last of the guests departed, long after midnight, giving their heartfelt congratulations to Wayne and Steve on their marriage and the wonderful evening of celebration.

A Smokeable Feast

east is an homage to the art of barbecue, a cuisine traditionally all about devotion to a particular style: Texas, North Carolina, Kansas City, Memphis.

Feast’s approach is to take the best from all styles, and create simple, consistent, quality barbecue, something Louisville hasn’t had much of until now.

Tastes ADAM DAY

Founded over two years ago by Ryan Rogers, with an initial location in New Albany, the newest iteration of Feast opened just a couple of weeks ago in the heart of NuLu. Rogers, born in Louisiana, eventually found himself at the French Culinary Institute in New York. After gaining experience at some of the best known restaurants in New York and Louisville, Momofuku, Shake Shack, The Oak Room, and Mozz, Rogers opened Feast with the goal of serving simple, traditional barbecue in the best way possible. “All we’re trying to do is take something simple in barbecue, and apply the best techniques possible to make it the best bite of barbecue you’ve ever had,” Rogers says.

And they’re not far off.

Built in the 1920s for the Hausman Motor Company, the décor is inviting and rustic, much like the ethos of the food. The first thing we dug into at Feast were pork cakes, created with crab cakes in mind. Smoked pulled pork is mixed with cream cheese, green onions, and cayenne, then floured and deep-fried. They came out a gorgeous dark caramel, sitting on a smear of barbecue sauce created with Indiana gnaw bone

sorghum. They were delicious. In the mouth they are lightly creamy, but with a weight and texture that is satisfying to the palate. The phenomenal BBQ sauce is made in house, and then cooked, so the tomato in it becomes caramelized, giving it a mild fruit note. Topping the pork cakes is a coleslaw that is neat, crisp, fresh and slightly tangy. Nothing could better compliment the pork cakes

The pulled pork sandwich, which uses much-sought-after Martin’s Potato Rolls, is very traditional, and brined in house in a Coca-Cola brine for 48 hours, as are all of Feast’s meats. Then the pork is pulled out and rubbed with house rub, slowly hotsmoked over hickory initially, then they turn the temp down low. The ribs are baby back, brined and rubbed, and while tender and “fall off the bone,” there’s nothing sloppy about them.

For vegetarians and omnivores, there is the crispy smoked tofu, which is smoked and sliced in house, floured and deep fried. The flavor is pleasing to the palate, to say the least, and you’re not going to find a texture like it anywhere else in a barbecue joint, nor in most veggie restaurants.

pie will send you to heaven, though perhaps through insulin shock as much as through sheer sensory pleasure. It’s got a slight shell too it and a soft, delectable middle. On the liquid side, you have ginger or eggnog bourbon slushies to choose from. The ginger offers the traditional icy slushy approach and is a palate cleanser and refreshing; the eggnog slushy is milkshake consistency and the pleasure of it knocked us on our butts.

When it’s all said and done Feast is doing precisely what Rogers perceives Louisville to be in more need of. “Look at strong food towns like Charleston, Nashville, they have great chef owned, chef driven restaurants. Others who aren’t the chefs don’t dictate what is to be done in those restaurants. Chefs need to be given the means to put across what they can and want to, with restraint and maturity, and with what the Louisville scene wants and needs in mind,” Feast has certainly filled an important niche, and is filling it deliciously. VT Feast BBQ is located at 909 E. Market Street. For more information visit www.feastbbq.com or call 502.749.9900.

As sides go, there are eight-hour-cooked baked beans made from scratch. Ours were slightly undercooked. But, come on, non-processed baked beans! If you prefer mac and cheese, Feast’s is made with Mornay sauce, made in house from scratch; Parmesan; smoked gouda; cheddar; and extra melt cheese that provides the right amount of gooeyness.

And for dessert, you can go solid or liquid. The house made chocolate chess s’more

The memory came rushing back of n 1987 it was my family’s the first time my dad took me on a second year in Louisville, tiresome winter walk to this proud when we moved from a local grocery chain and back with temporary suburban rental in heavy bags (I must have been a whiny J-town to a home of our own in 11-year old at the time). Since it was Clifton - a slightly more urban Nancy’s Bagel Out & About replaced, Melton neighborhood with historGrounds. stores in Louisic Frankfort Avenue at the end BENNETT ville have decreased of our street.

We had Bingham Park nearby and only a few This is followed by a new addiother kids living on my street. tion – and frustration. When I By the time I reached a superficial self-conscious stage at the beginning of middle school, I was embarrassed by my neighborhood, thinking it looked a little rough compared to the subdivisions or upscale areas where some of my friends lived. My area of Frankfort Avenue was not then what it is today.

To refresh my memory on some of these changes, I took a little trek down the road on a rainy day, starting at a typical destination of my youth, the mammoth Crescent Hill Baptist Church. During my life, this beautiful brick building has seen little-to-no alterations on its exterior.

I made my way from there, past Carmichael’s Bookstore to Heine Brothers, which opened its second location here in 1995 to the satisfaction of my Oregonian family, who until then, had trouble finding espresso served in Kentucky. The new Eggs Over Frankfort, next door, was once a Fat Jimmy’s pizzeria and next to that, it looks as though a Bourbon Barrel Foods store will soon be opening. Before the mid-‘90s, this strip had very little prominence.

Approaching Hite Street, I saw Margaret’s Fine Consignments, which has been the go-to place for affordable upscale attire since I was very young. There’s also the Wine Rack for connoisseurs of bottled joy and Oscar’s Hardware still stands as a simple neighborhood resource for handy folk.

After passing the local firehouse and then Arch L. Heady & Son – Cralle Funeral Home at the corner of Peterson, I came across a place of major change at the corner of Ewing: Walgreens, which used to be a Melton Food Mart.

was in my teens, I started collecting vinyl, but in my car-less existence, I had to go to the Highlands to find any retailers of this “dying” format. Where a liquor store briefly stood next to the Walgreens, is now Matt Anthony’s, one of THREE record shops on Frankfort (the others being New Cult and Guest Room).

Up ahead is El Mundo, a hole-in-the-wall Mexican Restaurant, which started in 1995 and became a workplace of mine from 2005 - 2009.

To this day, I always send people their way who desire great food and better Margaritas.

Directly across the street, are the three shotgun houses converted into one connected facility, Hair by Bennie and Friends salon, which opened in 1992. Up another block is The Irish Rover. If you’ve not been, shame!

Then comes Volare, a restaurant, which has stood for some time, but I remember its building as West Coast Video – one of my first jobs – where I gained more film knowledge, all while preventing kids from sneaking into the porno room. When leaving at night, the aroma of Allo Spiedo’s brick oven chimney across the street would spread the pizza smell down the block.

Now, Vint does its best to spread their delicious coffee aroma from the same building.

Further down is the recently closed River City Tires, may it rest in peace. They served as my mechanics from the day I learned to drive. I’m sad they recently shut down. What thankfully still stands, is Clifton Pizza, which I remember making a big impression on the city when it opened in 1990 – and advertised every Sunday night to be a place to dine in and watch “The Simpsons”

during its first season.

After this spot, is perhaps the most notable change in Frankfort Avenue’s history during my life. Genny’s Diner was one of the few Frankfort Avenue staples when I was younger. It was a tourist attraction, which prided itself on greasy food and a tacky atmosphere. It was also the location of one of my first dates at the insistence of a so-called vegetarian who enjoyed non-meat items from places notorious for serving animal products. The owner of the diner was responsible for a house next door, under the protection of the local historical society. There was a lot of ugly news related to his care of this property, but eventually, he went out of business and the house was renovated and expanded into one of the city’s best ice cream parlors, The Comfy Cow. I stopped for lunch at my favorite pan-Mediterranean restaurant, The Grape Leaf, which has been there since 1992. While eating my delicious Falafel sandwich with cauliflower rice, I gazed across the street to see another recently closed restaurant in a building, which has great significance. It was the first home of Lynn’s Paradise Café.

In the years after it moved to its now empty location on Barrett Avenue, its legacy has been tainted for various reasons. Regardless, Lynn’s had a line out the door and down the block most Sundays during its first year on Frankfort, and undoubtedly sparked the restaurant boom, which raised the value of the neighborhood considerably.

By the time I was out of high school with two jobs in the area, I found myself walking up and down Frankfort Avenue more often than ever before, while realizing that I loved my neighborhood and all the people that made it great. Living in Germantown now, I feel a similar story of progress unfolding. VT W W W . V O I C E -T R I B U N E . C O M •

2014: Keep Everything Weird

Maybe we’ll remember this n 2014, we kept everyas the worst year for comedy thing weird, from Austin in history. Bill Cosby’s secret, to Portland to, derivativelong (alleged) history is probaly, Louisville. I don’t remembly the saddest, maddest thing ber how the year started for I think I’ve ever heard. Robin Williams’ early exit was terribly us; I’m sure it seemed perfectArts & sad and, at first, unbelievable, ly normal at the time.

While he’s working towards But that whole episode, which seemed recovery, he might never be the same again, endless for a while, with the constant a real loss. Mike Nichols, whose life in comedy grew from being a sketch pioneer in the ads, mailings, knocks on doors and ‘50s to a director of some very influential non-news stories about minor gaffs movies, was, like Rivers, in his 80s, and his from both sides – seems so long ago life had been full of so much achievement. now, no? Only this week’s pointless At least we mostly retired the cretinous Jay greeting card from Secretary Grimes Leno, whose late night show should have been called “The Walking Dead (With O.J. and her loverman reminds me that Simpson Jokes).” we ever thought we had a chance.

What will history remember about 2014?

Probably the horrific racism and brutality involved in the deaths of men who could have done so much more with their lives, if they had more time or been born into different circumstances. But to those of us old enough to remember Rodney King, Ferguson 2014 was just like 1992 Los Angeles all over again.

Oh, yeah, and we’re cool with Cuba again.

ton will decide against running for President because she will have decided to become a full-time Elvis impersonator instead. This, or some even weirder stuff, will all happen, definitely.

Did anything good happen? Sure. St. Vincent, Tune-Yards, Beck and Aphex Twin made some great albums we’ll be digging into for a long time. “How to Get Away With Murder” and “Gotham” got off to pretty fun starts. Leslie Jones breathed some life into “Saturday Night Live.” Oh, man, and how about “Boyhood”? That was an amazing accomplishment. Did “Frozen” come out this year?

You’re reading this post-New Year’s Eve party planning. So, hopefully, if you hadn’t been to 8Up yet, New Year’s made for an interesting time to take in the food, music and overall ambiance in the hotel nightlife hotspot. Holy Grale offered an “Around the World Dinner Party” with a special guest famous DJ (we could not confirm if it was Daft Punk or someone else, like Will Oldham, at press time). Play offered one of the world’s most famous Britney Spears impersonators, Derrick Barry. If you like doing it live, perhaps you took in Jason Isbell and Shovels & Rope at the Palace Theater, or Tropical Trash and Humongous at Nachbar.

Film Review BENNETT DUCKWORTH

bennettduckworth.blogspot.com

ship of the Laketown people, and the demonic White Orc’s ill-fated mission to wipe out the dwarves, are all unnecessary additions which lead to boring exposition and tedious action scenes.

Bennett Duckworth is a film fanatic who lives in Louisville and goes to see a movie in the theater at least once a week. He has kept a movie review blog since September of 2011 with the mission of writing about every new release he sees, as well as new trends in film making and classic films he loves.

A great amount of attention in this film, is given to Bard (Luke Evans), man of the people, who is fighting for the survival of his refugee townsfolk and his children. In more than one scene, he hilariously jeopardizes their lives in the process of saving them.

2.5 OUT OF 4 WHOLE STARS

here’s a forgiving fan in me, who is simply happy to see familiar characters and places, when viewing a movie attached to a franchise, which I love. While watching “The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies” Peter Jackson’s final entry in the Middle-Earth saga - I enjoyed myself in spite of the cold truth: The final film of the “Hobbit” trilogy confirms that it wasn’t worth the 8.5 hours of material spread over three years of our lives to explore Middle Earth before Frodo would go on a quest to save it.

Throughout these three movies, I faithfully believed that even under the studio pressure to milk this series for every last drop, Jackson and Co. would conceive worthwhile expansions to this short children’s novel. However, it turns out that

Whenever Martin Freeman is onscreen as Bilbo Baggins, something is incredibly right with the movie. Casting him as a younger version of a character played by Ian Holm turned out to be worth the risk. Freeman brings all the whimsical anxiety of this reluctant hero summoned to adventure, which is pretty much what the book was all about. When you think about it. These movies seem to have gotten most of the original story right. It’s what’s been added that brings them down. nearly every subplot, distracting us from the journey of the title character, lacks a satisfying payoff.

The growing love between a young dwarf and a beautiful warrior elf lady; wizards searching for the Necromancer (aka Sauron); Bard’s leader-

Seriously, aspiring movie editors of the 21st century, get to work on these.

There’s a very good single movie buried beneath this trilogy of waste and it must be uncovered. I really want to see it! VT

pets of the week Lucy

Lucy is a seven-month-old Labrador retriever/Australian cattle dog mix. As you can probably guess, she still has a lot of puppy play in her. She loves to chase after balls and would love to play tug with you. Lucy will need someone who has the time to take her on long walks, and she would be delighted if you wanted to help her learn commands, which will help her understand and do what you want. Lucy is a big girl, and because of her high energy level, she would probably do better with children over the age of five. Lucy has been spayed, microchipped and is up-to-date on her vaccinations. Come meet her today at the Kentucky Humane Society’s Springhurst Feeders Supply adoption center, 9485 Brownsboro Road. For more on Lucy or any of our adoptable pets, please call 502.366.3355 or visit kyhumane.org.

Tiger

Eight-year-old Tiger is a loving orange and white domestic medium-hair cat. Tiger loves people and will be one of the first to greet you when you come for a visit. With your permission, he will jump in your lap and bask in the warm comfort of your pets. He’ll purr; he’ll lean into the pets; he’ll definitely let you know just how happy he is that you are there. Tiger is neutered, micro-chipped and up-to-date on his vaccinations. Come meet him today at the Kentucky Humane Society’s Main Campus, 241 Steedly Drive. For more on Tiger or any of our adoptable pets, please call 502.366.3355 or visit kyhumane.org.

Thursday, January 15 • 6:00 p.m. • $100 Evan Williams Bourbon Experience • 528 W. Main Street • Louisville

Before it was the ubiquitous term for a night of heavy drinking, Thirsty Thursday had an entirely different meaning. Join The Filson Historical Society as we commemorate the last day of legal alcohol sales with a tasting of “Old G.D. Bourbon,” a product that was bottled in the 1890s, along with Evan Williams and Larceny Bourbons from Heaven Hill. Bourbon Historian Mike Veach will share the history of the temperance movement that created the long dry spell commonly known as PROHIBITION.
