IN MEMORY

Last month, the latest additions to the Mounted Police Unit, Winchester and Remington, took their very first walk around the neighborhood with full gear. They were accompanied by fellow equine “officers” Bishop and Zane. The Clydesdales are not 100 percent ready for the busy traffic, but are getting closer each day. Mayor Linda Gorton was there when the two began their training and wanted to be present for their first outing around the neighborhood.

Feeders’ Supply has opened their new location at the long-shuttered Walgreens on Harrodsburg Road. The Southland Drive location has relocated into the new Harrodsburg Road spot, more than doubling their space.

She was appointed Acting Director in March. Dieffenbach says, “Libraries

KET founder O. Leonard Press died in July at the age of 97. In 1962 the Kentucky General Assembly passed legislation which helped Press create Kentucky Authority of Educational Television and he was named its first executive director. Longtime KET executive director Shae Hopkins said, in sharing the news, “Len inspired everyone who knew him, especially those who were fortunate to work with him, including myself. He was a visionary, and pioneer, who, in the early days of television, recognized the power of technology to provide equal access to educational programs and services for every Kentuckian no matter their location or circumstance. While we mourn the loss of a dear friend and mentor, and a true gentleman, we can find comfort in knowing that the legacy of Len Press will live on through the millions of lives that have been improved and enriched because of his vision, brilliance, tenacity and goodwill.” A Memorial is scheduled for Friday September 20 at 10 am at KET’s Leonard Press Network Center. Seating is limited. RSVP to 859.258.7005.

Tates Creek High School is getting closer to a brand new building. The local planning committee has recommended new construction for Tates Creek HS rather than renovations for a more cost effective plan. Designed by Tate Hill Jacobs Architects, the new construction would be built in phases on the current property.

Ed Puterbaugh, of Boone Creek Creamery, and the Kentucky Proud Store on Palumbo, died in August. A celebration of life is planned for October and the family has suggested donations to Kentucky Waterways Alliance as a way to honor his memory.

Move Over Bourbon September is also National Yoga Month

BY KRISTINA ROSEN

I

f Lissa Sims could tell you to do one thing to celebrate yoga month, it would be to stop right now, take a deep breath and notice how you feel.

“That is yoga.”

Born and raised in Lexington, Sims is a Kentucky girl at heart. She says, “I have a friend who says there must be a tiny piece of collapsed star under the courthouse because no one ever seems to leave Lexington forever. Everyone eventually makes their way home not because of the star but because the people are intelligent and caring and open-minded. And we DO love our bourbon.”

She also points out “It is the greatest place in the entire world to live.”

Sims grew up just around the corner from the Henry Clay Estate, where she now leads a wildly popular outdoor yoga practice on the lawn. She’d love to tell you her childhood years spent playing at Ashland was all just foreshadowing, but she laughingly admits, “sometimes when I am there I think

8 | aceweekly.com | September 2019

how funny it would be to 12-year-old me to see me standing there in the grass leading this big group of people through these crazy looking movements.”

Her facebook identifies her as “mother, dog-owner, writer, yogi...”, but clarifies “time-line-wise, last to first. Yogi, writer, dog-owner, mother.”

She says, “I took my first big-deal workshop 22 years ago with Rodney Yee” in LA (that was after she’d completed her journalism degree at Pepperdine).

It’s impossible to doubt her yoga cred after learning her current fridge scene is stocked with “kale, figs, almond milk, lots of organic vegetables and eggs,” as one would expect. But yoga is more about community and connection than it is about kale.

She shares a specific memory, “One Sunday at Ashland, a large man who looked to be in his early 60s walked up to me and I could see something big [was] on his mind. He launched right in and said, ‘I was in the military. I have done horrible things and I have been treated more badly than you can possibly imagine for most of my life.’

Tears streamed down his face as he told me,‘I’m not really even sure what made me come today, I’ve never done yoga before, but I’ve seen you out here for a while and I just wanted to come see what it was. And as we moved I began to, for the first time since I can’t remember, believe that I don’t have to be so angry... that maybe there is a way I can start to let it go.’ And with those three or four sentences, he walked away.”

Remembering his story, she says, “When we start to let go of anger we can connect to the people around us and most of us are looking for connection.”

Of being both a writer and a yogi, Sims says, “I am always trying to find ways to connect with people. I am not sure it matters what my vocation, I would try to be connecting and knowing people. I think if I was a fashion designer or a chef my process would look pretty similar. I am a hard worker and I think I am pretty thorough so yes, the life of a writer and the life of a yoga instructor feels the same to

me, it just feels like my life. The arc for both looks similar: There is all the preparation and research leading up to the performance of a story or a practice, then there is the release of it to the world knowing always that it isn’t perfect but it’s out there now.

And there is also, always, for me, that momentary high that comes from learning I have succeeded in connecting with someone. Guiding yoga is way less stressful for me. But life is way less stressful for me now that I know myself a bit better and I credit yoga for that.

H

er thoughts for someone who might love yoga, but is too afraid to try? “Well it’s just yoga.”

She continues with a laugh, “People always say ‘Oh, I wish I could do yoga, but I’m not flexible enough.’ Sometimes I want to say ‘Well, I KNOW you aren’t going to get more flexible standing there telling me you aren’t flexible’.”

We practice yoga not to get good at yoga but to get good at being ourselves.

Her bottom line: Try yoga instead.

“Let go of the idea that is has to look a certain way. It can be really stressful when you make your goal an idealized form or decide there is a certain way it should look. Instead of making the goal about the way a pose looks, make it about feeling good, then healing will start to happen in your body. And then your life.”

As daunting as it may sound, rest assured that it’s as easy as slowing down and taking a deep breath.

She explains, “We practice yoga not to get good at yoga, but to get good at being ourselves. I like the idea of feeling good while I do anything.”

If you stopped earlier to take a breath and noticed how you feel, and now you’re up for something bigger, you can join Sims at Ashland on Sunday mornings, and at a variety of Lexington practices, including the occasional wine + yoga pop up.

Quick: Is Lexington the South, or the Midwest?

South (as I said recently to someone on who just moved here—we are southern in the love-your-mamaalways-say-please-and-thank-you kinda way, not the bigoted backward kinda way.)

Name five things in your car right now: Yoga mats, Johnny Conqueroo CD, Reva and Warren’s Christmas CD, hand lotion, umbrella Last movie you saw?

Once upon a time in Hollywood Your greatest extravagance?

Tata Harper skin care. It’s so crazy expensive but it’s all natural and smells so good What book is on your nightstand right now?

Figuratively speaking Michael Pollan and Elizabeth Gilbert’s new books because I use a kindle mostly, but literally, Sula by Toni Morrison, because that’s the last real book I read and it’s still there. And Thich Nhat Hanh’s meditations on love because I read that every day.

Longtime Ace readers love your writing from your famous On The Block column in the 90s (“This balcony reminds of me when I was in high school, I would hang from my fingertips then drop to the ground as noiselessly as I could to sneak out at night.”). Is there a favorite Lexington house you remember writing about?

YES! I love that glam one-story on Tates Creek Who would play you in the movie of your life?

Johnny Depp. He’s a hippie from Kentucky who likes beads, braids, and eyeliner. He gets it.

Your most treasured possession?

At the risk of sounding too much like I’m writing the introduction to a self-help book (my daughter’s words) I think I’m happier thinking I’d feel ok about walking away from every single thing I own. I do have amazing paintings by Chad Hurley and Madelaine Enochs-Epley and Alex Mason that I do love...

TAI meets Top Chef Food festival to offer a new take on tradition

BY KRISTINA ROSEN

O

ne of Lexington’s best kept secrets when it comes to food festivals is returning for its fourth year at Temple Adath Israel.

Think of this year’s Jewish Food Festival as “The Tao of TAI.” Inspired

by Top Chef’s season 16 in Kentucky, the festival is using the same matzo ball soup recipe Kentucky chef and runner up Sara Bradley made in the final episodes.

Initially, the festival considered dropping matzo ball soup from their menu lineup, says Mary Engels, who oversees the festival — reasoning, who wants a piping hot bowl of soup in the humid last days of summer? But after Bradley made it to the finals with her version, Engels realized they had

Chef-testant Sara Bradley stopped by the temple kitchen to give them tips on her Tao of Macau matzo ball soup. After the tutorial, Engel says, “Having it at the food festival will be almost as good as eating some that Sara prepared herself.”

to serve this popular new take.

During the final episodes of the season, cheftestants were challenged to make a dish reflective of their heritage, but using Chinese ingredients.

In the second to last episode “The Tao of Macau,” Bradley made matzo ball soup using kombu, bok choy, black mushrooms and ginger, along with other more traditional ingredients.

While she was in town for the Railbird Festival last month, Bradley stopped by the temple kitchen to offer a few tips. After the tutorial, Engel says, “Having it at the food festival will be almost as good as eating some that Sara prepared herself.”

T

en years ago, Temple Adath Israel launched their annual pop-up Jewish deli, TAI on Rye. Based on its success (most menu items sell out fast and early), it only made sense for them to broaden their horizons, especially with Lexington’s openness to increasingly diverse food options. The inaugural Jewish Food Festival was launched in 2016.

Engel describes the first year as “ a leap of faith.” She fretted about how much food to make and then worried if anyone would actually eat it. “Would anyone try latkes (potato pancakes), rugelach (rolled pastry filled with nuts, cinnamon and sugar) and knishes (seasoned mashed potatoes encased in dough), much less gefilte fish (do you really want to know)?”

Her fears were baseless as it turns out. She recalls, “when the festival arrived, people were lined up to

get in. We were stunned at the turnout. We ended up running out of several foods before the advertised closing time. Afterward, as we took our first break since 8 am that morning, we realized we had a hit on our hands and would be doing it again.

Thank goodness we had 10 months to recover!”

For members of the temple, the food festival creates an even stronger sense of community as they get to know one another outside a worship setting. The festival is staffed completely by volunteers who do the cooking, baking, serving, ticketing, greeting and more.

For non-members, the event is just as special. Engel says, “Food is nothing if not a great unifier.”

A

long with Bradley’s matzo ball soup, new items this year include stuffed cabbage, bourekas and egg creams.

Despite the name, egg creams contain neither eggs nor cream — they were a New York City (and Lexington) staple back when soda fountains were in their prime.

As for the classics, Engel claims, “Some things never change and show up every year, including latkes, knishes, Israeli salad, borscht, corned beef sandwiches, and kosher hot dogs.”

The bake shop will have rugelach, strudel, hamantaschen, challah, macaroons (coconut cookies), apple cake, and matzo toffee (a miraculous confection that turns matzo into dessert).

This year’s food festival features a sampling menu of about a dozen foods.

Tickets are $20 and each ticket contains 16 squares. Food is assigned a value of 1-4 squares. “By the time a festivalgoer has used up all 16 squares, they have had a good meal and walk away full.”

Recipes for the other dishes come

from cookbooks by renowned Jewish cooks like Joan Nathan, as well as two cookbooks produced by TAI: “A Taste of Tradition,” published in the early 1980s, and “Recipes for Life,” which came out in 2001.

“Everything we make is tested beforehand to make sure it’s delicious and can be made easily for a crowd.”

With almost everything being made from scratch, it would be impossible for the temple to make all the food the weekend of the festival. The cooking and baking of items that freeze well begins about eight to ten weeks beforehand. But even with weeks of preparation, the last few days leading up to the food festival consists of hours and hours of last minute cooking, baking, and prepping.

Can’t make it to the food festival this year? In November, the temple is hosting “Top Nosh,” an outreach event for the Jewish community where Bradley will do a cooking demonstration and talk about being raised Jewish in Western Kentucky.

The Jewish Food Festival is on Sunday, September 8 from 11:30 am to 3 pm at Temple Adath Israel, 124 North Ashland Avenue.

We visited the temple kitchen in August for a behind the scenes look at prepping and cooking hamantaschen. Video at aceweekly.com.

Summer’s Last Gasp Tomatoes in the Pumpkin Patch

DRINK YOUR FRUITS & VEGGIES

omething feels out of whack.

We have Chaney’s pumpkin ice cream in the freezer and gorgeous heirloom tomatoes on the windowsill. Labor Day begins the season for corn mazes, pumpkin patches, apple picking, fresh apple cider, and winter squash.

Fresh Tomatoes in the pumpkin patch? Really?

The tomato seedlings we bought from Henkle’s Herbs and Heirlooms at the farmers’ market last spring have morphed into one gigantic tomato hedge with collapsed tangled limbs limping over their cages, meandering and entwining at will. Amid the twisted growth, tomatoes poke through the trapped fallen leaves and dried up branches.

Oh sure, we’re happy to have tomatoes this late in the season. Who wouldn’t be happy? They just feel oddly out of place. A few mornings ago, I watched a confused squirrel try to bury a bright red tomato in his winter war chest. Welcome to the club, little buddy.

Fall tomatoes.

Eventually, I’ll roast them.

Or juice them.

Or throw them at the garage.

Right now, they’re just still so perky. Cheery, even. Happy looking. Undaunted by the recent dreary weather and cool spell, I embraced their out of season swagger and threw together a Fall heirloom tomato salad.

Sacrilege.

I sliced Black Carbon, Orange Minsk, and Red Jetsetter tomatoes into thick discs. To boost the flavor, I sprinkled them with sea salt and placed them in a colander over a large bowl to drain. After 20 minutes, I slid the tomatoes onto a large plate and used the salty sweet drippings for a broken tomato vinaigrette (1/4 cup tomato water, 2 tablespoons rice wine vinegar, 3 tablespoons olive oil, cracked pepper, and snipped chives).

I split a few Yellow Pear, SunSugar,

and Supersweet tomatoes, and set them aside. For textural contrast, I grabbed another handful of the tiny sweet tomatoes, carefully scored the bottoms, and dropped them into boiling water for 5 seconds before plunging them into ice water. Their skins slid off easily to reveal hiidden treasures.

As an unconventional nod to a caprese salad, I halved a Madison County Key Largo sweet red pepper, removed the seeds, and stuffed the halves with fresh mozzarella cheese.

After topping them with crisp candied bacon and diced green peppers, I slid them into a 350 oven to roast for 20 minutes.

I stacked the sliced tomatoes over lightly dressed baby arugula and tumbled the split tomatoes to the side.

After pulling the bacon-flecked cheesy peppers from the oven, I nestled them next to the undressed tomatoes.

Every salad needs crunch, so I peeled and deveined 8 jumbo shrimp, dredged them through flour and egg wash, wrapped them each with shredded phyllo dough, and deep fried them in 350 degree oil until they were crisp before scooping them onto paper towels to drain.

After spooning the vinaigrette over the glistening tomatoes, I showered them with cracked black pepper, briny capers, and fresh basil flowers before finishing with the peeled tomato jewels and the outrageous fried shrimp croutons.

Crisp. Fresh. Clean. Unexpected.

A simple salad from our late summer garden jungle.

Now, it’s time to carve the pumpkins.

Or cook them.

FREE WILL ASTROLOGY by Rob Brezsny ARIES (March 21-April 19): Here are examples of activities I recommend you try in the coming days. 1. Build a campfire on the beach with friends and regale each other with stories of your most interesting successes. 2. Buy eccentric treasures at a flea market and ever thereafter refer to them as your holy icons. 3. Climb a hill grass as you sing your favorite songs and watch the moon slowly rise over the eastern horizon. 4. Take naps when you’re “not supposed to.” 5. Sneak into an orchard at night and eat fruit plucked just moments before. 6. Tell a beloved person a fairy tale in which he or she is the hero.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): The hardiest creature on the planet may be the bacterium known as Deinococcus radiodurans. It can endure exposure to radiation, intense cold, dehydration, acid, and vacuum. I propose we make it your power creature for the coming weeks.

Why? Not because I expect you’ll have to deal with a lot of extreme conditions, but rather because I think you’ll be exceptionally robust, both waiting for the right time to succeed at demanding challenges that require you to be in top form, now is a good time to do it. P.S. Deinococcus radiodurans is colloquially referred to as Conan the Bacterium, borrowing from the spirit of the fictional character Conan the Barbarian, who is renowned for his strength and agility.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Shogun is a bestselling novel about an Englishman who transforms himself into a samurai warrior in seventeenth-century Japan.

Written by James Clavell, it’s over 1,100 pages long. Clavell testified that the idea for the story sprang up in him when he read one line in his daughter’s school book: “In 1600 an Englishman went to Japan and became a samurai.” I suspect it’s highly likely you will soon encounter a seed like that, Virgo: a bare inspiration that will eventually bloom into a Big Thing.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Libran athlete Mickey Mantle is in Major League Baseball’s Hall of Fame. He had a spectacular 18-year career, winning the Most Valuable Player Award three times, playing in 12 World Series, and being selected to the All-Star team 16 times. So it’s astounding that he played with a torn ligament in his knee for 17 years, according to his biographer Jane Leavy. She quoted an orthopedic surgeon who said that Mantle compensated for his injury with “neuromuscular genius.” I’m thinking that in the next few weeks you’re in a position to accomplish an equivalent of Mantle’s heroic adjustment.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Most people who belong to the Church of Satan neither believe in nor worship Satan. (They’re atheists, and don’t believe in the supernatural.) I think a comparable principle is true for many rightwing fundamentalist Christians. Their actions and words are replete with bigotry, hard-heartedness, materialism, and selfishness: so contrary to what the real Jesus Christ taught that they in effect don’t believe in or worship Jesus Christ. I mention this, Scorpio, in

hope of inspiring you to take inventory of whether your stated ideals are reflected in the practical details of how you live your life. That’s always an interesting and important task, of course, but it’s especially so for you right now. The coming weeks will be an excellent time to purge any hypocrisy from your system and get your actual behavior in close alignment with your deepest values.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): It’s the right time for you to create a fresh mission statement and promotional campaign. For inspiration, read mine: “My column ‘Free Will Astrology’ offers you a wide selection of realities to choose from. With 4,212 years of dedication to customer service (over the course of my last 13 incarnations), I’m a reliable ally supporting your efforts to escape your oppressive conditioning and other people’s hells. My horoscopes come with an ironclad guarantee: If the advice you read is wrong, you’re under no obligation to believe it. And remember: a panel of 531 experts has determined that ‘Free Will Astrology’ is an effective therapy for your chronic wounds and primordial pain. It is also dramatic proof that there is no good reason to be afraid of life.”

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Here are good questions for you to meditate on during the next four weeks. 1. How can you attract resources that will expand your mind and your world? 2. Are you bold enough to reach out to wise sources and provocative influences that could connect you with useful tricks and practical treasures? 3. What interesting lessons can you stir up as you explore the mercurial edges, skirt the changeable boundaries, journey to catalytic frontiers, and make pilgrimages to holy hubbubs? 4. How best can you encourage lyrical emotion over polished sentimentality? Joyous idealism over astringent zealotry? Exuberant integrity over formulaic kindness?

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): “It is the beginning of wisdom when you recognize that the best you can do is choose which rules you want to live by,” wrote author Wallace Stegner, “and it’s persistent and aggravated imbecility to pretend you can live without any.” That will be an excellent meditation for you during the coming weeks. I trust you are long past the time of fantasizing you can live without any rules.

Your challenge now is to adjust some of the rules you have been living by, or even dare to align yourself with some new rulesand then completely commit yourself to being loyal to them and enjoying them.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Given the astrological omens that will symbolize your personal story in the coming weeks and months, I think Piscean author Nikos Kazantzakis articulated the perfect prescription for you. I invite you to interpret his thoughts to fit your circumstances.

“We’re going to start with small, easy things,” he wrote. “Then, little by little we shall try our hand at the big things. And after that, after we finish the big things, we shall undertake the impossible.” Here’s an additional prod from Kazantzakis: “Reach what you cannot.”

This cute little fella can be a little bit shy at first, but he’s a playful pup at heart! Pepper is looking for a patient family he can help spice up once he’s all settled in. He needs a home without kids, for an unusual reason: he has night terrors, and since he can be very fearful if he’s startled awake, he needs a family where everyone is old enough to “let sleeping dogs lie.” Can you help a cute little guy like Pepper overcome those bad dreams?
