ON THE COVER:

NEW ALBANY — During the week

of April 10-16, the New Albany-Floyd

County Public Library will join libraries

in schools, campuses and communities

nationwide in celebrating the dynamic

changes that are happening in today’s li-

braries. April 10-16 is National Library

Week, a time to highlight the changing

role of libraries, librarians and library

workers.

The library is celebrating National

Library Week by offering “Food for

Fines,” fine forgiveness in exchange for canned goods, during the weeks of April

10-16 and 17-23. Library patrons with

outstanding fines for overdue materials are encouraged to “give back” to the library, as well as the community, by

bringing in canned goods or boxed food items (no glass allowed). Participating

patrons will receive $2 of fine forgive-

ness for each canned good or boxed food item donated. Anyone is welcome

to contribute to the food drive – not just those with outstanding fines.

Food items collected will be donated

to Hope Southern Indiana and Mid-

Town Commons. If outstanding fines are keeping you out of the library, now

is your chance to reduce your fines and return long overdue items, while also donating to those in need in our com-

munity, a news release stated.

As part of National Library Week, the

New Albany-Floyd County Public Li-

brary has also designated Tuesday, April

12, as Patron Appreciation Day. The

library is offering a special “thank you”

to patrons with refreshments, beginning

at 9 a.m. while supplies last.

Southern Indiana basketball fans — despite

their college or high school allegiance —

have enjoyed a fun couple of months with the New Albany Bulldogs capturing the Class 4A

boys’ state title, and Indiana University enjoying a deep NCAA tournament run.

The buzz will continue next week with the Horseshoe Foundation Night of the Future Stars

— the only Southern Indiana-specific event on the Kentucky Derby Festival lineup. A roster of 18 high schoolers, many of whom rank in the

Top 50 nationally according to several recruiting services, will bring their talents to New Albany High School at 7

p.m. Thursday, April 14.

That the Night of the Future Stars is the only local

Kentucky Derby Festival event is not lost on Horseshoe officials.

“It’s a nice way to connect the derby, basketball and

Southern Indiana to a metropolitan festival,” said Jerry Finn, executive director of the Horseshoe Foundation of Floyd County.

The state-champion Bulldogs will be recog-

nized at the event. Coach Jim Shannon will cap-

tain one of the All-Star teams in the 42nd annual

Kentucky Derby Festival Basketball Classic, set for Friday, April 15, at Freedom Hall. A ticket to

the Classic gets you into Night of Future Stars,

which features a slam dunk contest, a three-

point shootout a two-on-two contest and an

autograph session.

The Derby Festival is focusing on the Ohio River Bridges Project, specifically, the Abraham

Lincoln Bridge, as this year’s theme.

Brad Seigel, senior vice president and general manager at Horseshoe Southern Indiana, appreciates the connec-

tion.

“I think the theme that KDF chose shows the connec-

tivity on both sides of the state line for this area,” he said.A slam dunk, indeed.

EW ALBANY — Fresh off a New Albany High School boys’ basketball state champi-onship, Southern Indiana hoops fans have

more to be excited about with the Kentucky Derby Festival’s Night of the Future Stars event next week.

Sponsored by the Horseshoe Foundation of Floyd County, Night of the Future Stars at New Albany High School on Thursday, April 14, features a roster of 18 players, some of whom are ranked in the Top 50 nationally, according to several recruiting services.

Night of the Future Stars is the only Southern Indiana-specific event on the Kentucky Derby Fes-tival lineup — something not lost on Horseshoe of-ficials. While the nation’s attention is on Louisville the next couple of weeks, the hoops hoopla allows Clark and Floyd counties a slice of the Kentucky Derby-related spotlight.

“The board has always believed the Kentucky Der-by Festival is more than just Kentucky, it’s a metro festival,” said Jerry Finn, executive director of the foundation. “We’re just excited that Floyd County has a part in bringing some of that sense of regionalism.

“It’s a nice way to connect the derby, basketball and Southern Indiana to a metropolitan festival.”

The event is held the night before the 42nd annual Kentucky Derby Festival Basketball Classic, set for Friday, April 15, at Freedom Hall. A ticket to the Classic gets you into Night of the Future Stars, which features a slam dunk contest, a three-point shootout, a two-on-two contest and an autograph session.

However, the stars of the show are likely to be the New Albany Class 4A state champions, who will be honored during Night of the Future Stars. Coach Jim Shannon will captain one of the Classic All-Star teams.

“For the foundation to participate and sponsor the Night of the Future stars is something that shows all that is Kentuckiana that extends to both sides of the river,” said Brad Seigel, senior vice president and general manager at Horseshoe Southern Indiana. “It allows Horseshoe, and in our case, Floyd County, to show off.

“This year’s event at New Albany High School is appropriate and gives them a real chance to cel-ebrate what they accomplished.”

In its fourth year, Night of the Future Stars was held at Floyd Central High School the first two years, and New Albany the past two.

“I think this year, with New Albany as the

state champions, it’ll be even more special,” Finn said. “It’s always a fun event. It’s a great way to celebrate Southern Indiana and basketball.”

First held in 1973, the Classic is the oldest high school all-star game in the nation and is known for showcasing players who’ve moved on to stardom at the collegiate and professional levels, according to a festival news release. Former players include Jamal Mashburn, Moses Malone, Rex Chapman, Pervis Ellison, Isiah Thomas, Dominique Wilkins, Darrell Griffith, Derek Anderson, Anfernee Hardaway and Michael Beasley.

This year’s roster includes Indiana University recruits De’Ron Davis and Curtis Jones, as well as Indianapolis standout Eron Gordon, brother of former IU star and current NBA player Eric Gordon.

“It is a testament to the college basketball fans of this area that we are able to recruit the highest level of players each year,” said Mike Gandolfo and Keith Conrad, the Classic’s co-recruiting chairs, in the release. “Our attendance is one of the main recruiting tools that resonate with players and their families. These guys can’t wait to play in front of the most dedicated fan bases in college basketball. This roster has names you may not recognize now, but they will dominate college basketball’s headlines next season.”

While Night of the Future Stars might be the only Southern Indiana-specific Kentucky Derby Festival event, the shores of Clark County will attract thou-sands of visitors viewing the Thunder Over Louisville fireworks Saturday, April 23.

Jeffersonville is hosting Thunder Throwdown at the RiverStage on April 23, featuring live music from Chris Lane, Wildwood and Shane Dawson Band.

Gates open at noon and the show starts at 5 p.m. The event will be hosted by Q103.1’s Jess Tyler. The event is free.

Thunder-viewers can also enjoy food from street vendors and views of fireworks from Riverside Drive in downtown Jeffersonville.

The following items are banned from the venue during Thunder: alcohol, weapons, lasers, glass bot-tles or containers, silly string, aerosol cans or noxious gasses, skateboards and bicycles, unauthorized motor vehicles and pets.

CLARKSVILLE — Derby Dinner Playhouse is staging the musical “Legally Blonde The Musical,” through May 15. For ticket information call 812-288-8281 or visit der-bydinner.com.

“Legally Blonde The Musi-cal” tells the story of Elle Woods, a sorority girl who enrolls at Harvard Law School to win back her ex-boyfriend Warner. She discovers how her knowledge of the law can help others, and successfully defends exercise queen Brooke Wynd-ham in a murder trial, according to a Derby Dinner news release.

Throughout the show no one has faith in Elle Woods, but she manages to surprise them when she defies expectations while staying true to herself. This action packed musical is filled with memorable songs, dynamic dance numbers, and is equal parts hilarious and heartwarm-ing.

“Legally Blonde The Musi-cal” was written by Heather Hach with music and lyrics by Laurence O’Keefe and Nell Benjamin. The story is based on

the novel “Legally Blonde” by Amanda Brown and the 2001 film of the same name. Songs featured in this production are “Omigod You Guys,” “Bend and Snap,” “Ireland,” “Legally Blonde” and more.

Derby Dinner’s production of “Legally Blonde The Musi-cal” is directed by Lee Buck-holz with Musical Direction by Scott Bradley and Choreogra-phy by Heather Paige Folsom. The cast will include Brooke Bauersfeld as Elle Woods, Sara King, Brittany Carricato Cox, Billy Casey, Michael Luongo, Brian Bowman, and many more.

This production is recom-mended for ages 13 and up.
