Put a Purple Egg on Your Plate

BY ROBBIE CLARK | EDITOR

W

hen it comes to peculiar holiday traditions in my family, I’ve been told that our insistence on having a platter of purple pickled eggs on the table could be considered one of them.

It has never struck me as peculiar, only delicious. Make no mistake, these are not the jaundiced looking pickled eggs that you used to see in huge jars on the deli counter in the grocery store. Those are peculiar. We use beet juice, and they are much more appetizing in appearance.

It would be a scandal of epic proportions if we had Thanksgiving or Christmas dinner without these beautiful purple eggs to go around. And they do go around, everybody is afforded one. After that, it’s a free-for-all to claim the leftovers. Every year I worry as uncles and aunts pressure the little cousins, young and picky, into trying a bite. I fear they will discover how good they taste, and that will mean more competition for me.

If you are looking for a festive show stopper for your holiday dinner or next potluck, here’s the recipe I use for making a batch of pickled eggs. Put them on the table and you will definitely get a lot of attention, but don’t be too zealous in trying to get people to taste them – if you’re lucky you might be left with a few leftovers to take home.

Pickled Eggs Ingredients: • 12 hardboiled eggs, peeled • 1 large can of canned beets • 1 medium onion • 1 cup cider vinegar • 1/2 cup of sugar • peppercorns Directions: 1. Hard boil a dozen eggs. I know there is fierce debate on the proper procedure for this, but it is essential that you don’t overcook the eggs when boiling them.

2. Peel the eggs. I have the best intentions of pickling a batch of a dozen eggs, but invariably I end up only making eight or nine because a few of the eggs fall victim to my poor peeling practices. If you have an easy, workable method, please let me know.

3. Gingerly add the peeled eggs to a container with a lid (like a Mason jar).

4. Don’t drain the beets when you open the

can. Save 1 cup of the juice and pour it into the container, along with the vinegar and sugar.

Place a few chunks of beets on top of the eggs .

5. Slice the onion and add it to the jar with a small handful of peppercorns.

6. Add just enough water to make sure the entire mixture is covered.

7. Tightly close the lid and turn the container over a few times to mix the contents.

8. Place the jar in the refrigerator and let it sit for at least three days. I’ve discovered it’s best to hide them behind something to keep people from pilfering an egg.

Second phase of Brighton East Rail Trail opens City officials held a ribbon cutting to open the second phase of the Brighton East Rail Trail on Monday, Sept. 30.

“The Brighton Rail Trail project has taken an

abandoned rail line and turned it into something people can enjoy,” Lexington Mayor Jim Gray said at the ceremony. “This trail has a beautiful tree canopy that is like no other trail in Lexington.”

The shared use trail is 12-feet wide and runs two miles, from Bryant Road to Walnut Grove Lane. The new section runs from Pleasant Ridge Drive to Walnut Grove and was funded by a combination of federal, state and local funds.

Councilmember Kevin Stinnett, whose district holds the trail, said, “The new expansion of the Brighton Rail Trail symbolizes our commitment to improving community health and our trail systems throughout Lexington. It provides a valuable recreational amenity to east Lexington, while connecting neighborhoods and people to one another.”

A rail trail is an abandoned railroad line that is redeveloped for recreational use. Brighton East is the first rail trail in Fayette County.

Construction of the first phase was completed in 2007.

The expansion of the trail is part of a larger plan to connect Brighton Rail Trail to the Liberty Park Trail. “As we continue to build these projects bit by bit we are starting to connect to existing facilities. The Brighton trail will eventually connect to Hamburg and has the potential to go to the Clark County line,” said Keith Lovan, the project’s manager. “I am also pleased that we were able to preserve the tree canopy on this trail.”

Parking for the trail is at Pleasant Ridge Park, 1350 Pleasant Ridge Drive.

LBAR reports $143.9 million in real estate sales for September 2013 Members of the Lexington-Bluegrass Association of Realtors (LBAR) reported 829 sales totaling $143,933,741 in September 2013.

September residential sales (829) increased 23 percent from September 2012 (676). Pending sales reported also increased over September 2012, increasing to 756 from 670 – 13 percent, according to a release from the organization.

The median sales price remained steady in September, increasing 1 percent at $144,500 for September 2013 compared to $142,500 September 2012.

As fall and winter months begin, housing will start its preparation for a holiday season slow down. LBAR President Al Blevins stated, “There are still year-over-year gains in a number of listings as well as a 20 percent decrease in days on market. However, months of inventory continue to decrease – September 2013 was 7.1 compared to 8.6 in August 2013, which could indicate the liveliness of the summer months has started to slow.�

The year-to-date statistics show very positive movement. Residential sales have increased 23 percent thus far in 2013 vs. 2012.

St. John & Myers Jewelry named one of “America’s Coolest Stores�

InStore Magazine, a retail jewelry trade publication, has included Lexington’s St. John & Myers in their annual list of “America’s Coolest Stores.�

Each year a total of 20 winners are pick ed by a panel of editors, industry figures and other experts from outside the retail jewelry industry, according to the contest website.

Stores are judged on their physical attributes, such as the interior and exterior and display cases, online efforts, and other features.

Co-founder Olivia Scholtz says the honor is a

goal of Louis Scholz, “who has been waiting for the right mix of location, display and marketing presence to come together for St. John & Myers Jewelry.�

The jewelry store relocated to Old Vine Street earlier this year after spending a considerable amount of time reworking the spaces’s interior.

Ashland goes green with new geothermal system Ashland, the Henry Clay Estate will be much more energy efficient after a new geothermal system is installed at the historic mansion.

Arronco Comfort Air will be installing a geothermal heating and air-conditioning system in the 156-year-old structure. The estate was closed from Oct. 28 - 31 as the company drilled the wells for the new system.

Ashland directors opted to go with geothermal over other methods of heating and cooling because the system will be cheaper over a period of time, will be more environmentally friendly, and will be better for the preserv ation of inside artifacts.

The project will cost around $80,000, given the size of the mansion and the added precautions needed to ensure none of the historic integrity will be compromised, and the organization is accepting donations to help cover the expenses.

FROM WRECK TO REVIVAL THE TRANSFORMATION FROM LEXINGTON’S OLD SONNET COVE TO THE NEW LAKEWOOD PROPERTIES CONTINUES

BY DAN DICKSON CONTRIBUTING WRITER

P

eople who lived in the Sonnet Cove apartments near the end of its life have anything but fond memories of its living conditions – dilapidated sur roundings, too many needed repairs to count, noise and crime and gang activity.

About half of the complex, located on Laketower Drive, was eventually condemned by the city because of plumbing leaks, backed up sewage and more.

In stepped Allen Schubert, a Lexington native now living in Louisville and a veteran developer of commercial and residential properties. A 1978 graduate of the University of Kentucky, Schubert remembers how nice Sonnet Cove was back in the ‘70s. “Everyone wanted to live there,” Schubert said.

“Then in the ‘90s it started going downhill. In the 2000s it went down really fast – awful. Y ou couldn’t even get a pizza

delivered there because it was so dangerous.”

Looking past the sorry conditions, Schubert envisioned a promising property located inside New Circle Road in the coveted 40502 zip code, five minutes from downtown and on the water (Lexington Reservoir).

Schubert and his company, Andover Management Group, bought the Sonnet Cove property from the lenders, who had foreclosed on it, for nearly $5 million.

There were five buildings in one complex and seven in the other. It was half vacant at the time of the sale. The company immediately tore down seven buildings and 140 units.

The 16-acre site is currently being redeveloped in three phases, including 195 completely rebuilt units in what is called Lakewood Park Apartment Homes. There will also be a total of 15 high-end townhouses, and later a five-story luxury apartment building, to be marketed to older ,

empty-nesters, will be built. These two areas are in a gated community called The Harbour at Lakewood. Schubert says the entire development is about 50 percent completed.

The townhouses have custom features like ten foot ceilings, an outdoor patio and even space for an elevator .

Schubert says buyers of these properties will be able to put their own finishing touches on their new living spaces. “W e designed them so people can customize individual units, such as if they want to move a wall,” he said. “The person who wants to buy one of these homes has owned several homes in the past and is very specific about their current wants and desires,” he said.

Schubert says many of the residents of his properties work in the medical field at the University of Kentucky, like nurses, and also teachers, young lawyers and other professionals.

Rebecca Burnworth, vice president

and director of development at Andover Management, is a licensed architect and recalls what the Sonnet Cove property looked like when she first saw it. “The old buildings were so rotten. I don’t think they even let me go into the buildings.

They were really mold-ridden,” she said.

Fast forward from that dismal scene to one where the senior living complex now being planned could offer concierge service, like you enjoy at a high-end hotel. There is also expected to be an indoor fitness area and a common space for meetings and possibly meals.

“We want to ‘blow it out of the water’ and do something really unique, something no one has seen before,” Burnworth said.

The UK College of Architecture graduate feels fortunate her company acquired such a prime property and raves about the water features. Old trees and brush were cleared away from the shoreline so all Lakewood residents would

BEING SICK IS NO FUN, DOG-GONE IT!

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommends that everyone get vaccinated annually against seasonal influenza. Vaccines are the single best way to protect yourself from getting the flu. Even otherwise healthy people may get sick with the flu and easily spread it to others. Getting vaccinated early provides the protection you need to stay healthy throughout the entire flu season.

Act now to prevent the flu.

have unobstructed views of the lake stretching up to a mile.

“I think this location is just unbelievable,” Burnworth said. “I don’t know of many places like this where you can be 50 feet from a lake. There are some other locations where a lake may be of f in the distance and you can see it out your windows, but the view here is incredible and you’re inside New Circle Road, which is insane.”

Burnworth says the project is good for the city because of the added tax base that will be generated from the elite community. It is a prime example of urban infill, rather than developing undisturbed land. Property values could rise in sur rounding neighborhoods. “Andover Construction, our builder , has done an amazing job,” said Burnworth. “You have to have that attention to detail and quality.

I’m happy for our team.”

Schubert is no stranger to taking old sites and tur ning them into new living spaces. He is credited with developing a former middle school in Bowling Green into a 300-bed living space for students at Western Kentucky University and taking a historic 1820-era academy and converting it into several condominiums and a town house.

The Harbour at Lakewood is the latest phase of the revitalized Sonnet Cove area to be completed.

GoodGiving Guide Challenge Seeks $1 Million

NOW

OPEN

– CHEVY CHASER STAFF

© Joe Lyman Photography

N

ow in its third year, the 2013 GoodGiving Guide Challenge officially kicks off Nov. 1, with a goal to raise $1 million for 108 Lexington area nonprofits in two short months.

The campaign was initiated in 2011 by Smiley Pete Publishing (this magazine’s parent company) and the Blue Grass Community Foundation, as a means to educate the community about the work of local nonprofits, and encourage and facilitate community giving. Utilizing a centralized, user -friendly website, where even the most tech-frustrated donor can learn about participating nonprofits and move quickly and easily to donate, the challenge makes a special ef fort to target first-time givers and other demographics that might not be the usual suspects when it comes to philanthropic giving.

“The thing we loved when we first heard of this model was how it utilized all the tools we already knew in our business — that is, making publications, building websites, email marketing and social media. We do this work every day,” said Smiley Pete Publishing co-owner Chuck Creacy. “With the fundraising expertise of the Blue Grass Community Foundation, we felt equipped to take on and succeed with such a project.”

Starting with a goal of $100,000, the initiative brought in $205,000 for 58 nonprofits in its first year. The campaign more than doubled that amount in 2012, raising $586,000 from 4,106 donations, coupled with matching and challenge grants that were established with the help of local business to bolster individual gifts.

“The contributions of those challenge grant sponsors make the difference between lemonadestand giving and real game-changing giving,” said Lisa Adkins, president and CEO of the Blue Grass Community Foundation, which has helped secure more than $450,000 in matching grants this year already from family charitable funds at the Foundation along with individual and corporate sponsors. The Knight Foundation, Clark County Community Foundation and Boyle County Community Fund have also of fered significant nonprofit challenges and matching pools for this year’s campaign.

“With this kind of starting boost, we expect to not only meet but exceed our $1 million goal on behalf of the 108 participating nonprofits,” Adkins said.

While most donors give because they believe in the work of the or ganization, rewards for donors, which range from theater passes, massages and free meals to pottery and cooking classes, private tours and dinners, serve to encourage first-time, additional and increased giving. New to the 2013 campaign, donors will “shop” for more individualized gifts rather than receive a set package of rewards for each giving level, with a diverse collection of prizes and rewards from local area restaurants, retailers and businesses at every level of giving.

The GoodGiving Guide Challenge begins Nov. 1 at 8 a.m., with a kickof f party taking place at W est Sixth Brewing from 3-6 p.m. that day. New this year , a GoodGiving gala will take place Dec. 6 at the Carrick House, with all proceeds from the event going to the challenge. For details, tickets and infor mation on contribution packages for the gala, call (859) 225-3343, or visit GoodGivingGala.or g.

THIS LITTLE PIGGY WENT TO EUCLID

T

he piggy is in place on Euclid Avenue. After over two years’ worth of envisioning, planning, organizing, soliciting and fundraising, the new PiggyBank Bus Shelter was opened to the public with a press conference and ribbon cutting on Oct. 24.

Located on land donated by Republic Bank, the bus shelter was a joint partnership between the Columbia Heights Neighborhood Association, Lextran, Republic Bank, Art in Motion and over 150 Kickstarter donors who contributed over $10,000 toward the project. The new shelter was an initiative of Columbia Heights neighbor Kate Savage, who felt that the previous, uncovered bus stops in the area didn’t adequately serve the people waiting for public transportation.

Though not an of ficial project of Art in Motion, a local nonprofit which fuses public art and public transit with the construction of artistic bus shelters, the organization’s founder, Yvette Hurt, was instrumental in helping guide Savage

through the process of having the shelter come to fruition.

The bus stop was built by Josh Marrillia of Marillia Design and Construction. Designs were provided by Patrick Morgan, a Lexington native who received his masters in architecture from the University of Pennsylvania this past May. The back of the shelter has a lar ge piggy bank cut out and there are glass panels with graphic designs taken from the $1 bill. At the opening, Savage said there were some unintended surprises in the shelter’s design, such as the shadows the structure created as the sun passed through the sky.

“It’s just a great example of citizen involvement,” Mayor Jim Gray said at the conference. “It’s creative and playful art, and it’s got a public use as well. Citizens, neighbors, businesses and friends who cared came together and did something extraordinary. I just love it.”

EMBRY’S TRADITION CONTINUES UNDER NEW OWNERSHIP FURRIERS CLIFF AND YVONNE KATSMAKIS RELOCATE TO LEXINGTON TO LEAD CENTURY-OLD LOCAL FUR BUSINESS

BY LINDA HINCHCLIFFE | CONTRIBUTING WRITER

F

or more than 100 years, the owners of the iconic fur boutique and women’s clothing store Embry’s have seen their family name grace the upscale establishment, their history a long and rich one. This November sees a change in lead ership as Cliff and Yvonne Katsamakis take over the ownership of Embry’s, and their commitment to the tradition and quality of the name is based on a rich history of their own.

Sixth-generation furriers, their family began in the business in a small town in northern Greece many years ago. But it is their 29-year history of working with the Embry family that has led them to Lexington from New Y ork.

As buyers of furs for the store, their expertise led to a close relationship with both the youngest, Bill Embry, as well as his father, locally known as Mr. Embry. The Katsamakis’ pledge to maintain the Embry family tradition of excellence is based on a relationship with both the business and the family.

16

chevy chaser magazine november 2013

“A lot of our meetings over the years took place around our dining room table [in New York] — and then we’d head to the beach,” Y vonne Katsamakis said. A quick smile relayed the fond memories.

Cliff Katsamakis readily admitted that the tie is more than just one of business, but his intent now is to incorporate the old ways with the new.

“We intend to keep the great image Embry’s has and blend it with what’s going on with new fashion trends,” he said.

The tale of the store began with a small millinery shop that opened its doors in 1899 on then-quiet East Main Street in downtown Lexington. W illiam Russell Embry, a well-known horse lover , cordoned off a corner of his sister’s shop to begin his foray into the business of selling women’s clothing. With money borrowed on the basis of his honest face and apparent good character, he used the credit to bring fashions from the east to Lexington, and a tradition was bor n.

The store’s excellence became synonymous with the name. Harriett Rose, a longtime Lexington resident and wellregarded Embry customer , recalled, “My best-remembered encounter [at Embry’s] was also a joyous one. I took a short mink jacket there … and salesman Bill Embry [II] showed me a coat ordered for a

woman who didn’t take it. It was luscious, and I just stood there admiring myself. I said, ‘Sold.’”

For Rose, it was more than a coat — it was a treasured experience.

“I wore it for year, [and] was admired by passerbys even in Moscow and St. Petersburg that winter,” Rose said. “It was an experimental color, bred specially, and only 11 were made. Nothing has ever rivaled that coat. It was an instantly remembered shopping day.”

The year 1971 saw the opening of a second location in Fayette Mall, and it was 1982 when the downtown store closed. The current location in Lansdowne Shoppes opened its doors in 1994, originally as the satellite store for furs and petite fashions.

At its peak, Embry’s employed 250 people and had nine stores, including an Oklahoma City location. The company had a presence in a fur department in a well-known Tulsa, Okla., store as well.

In 1995, when many other businesses felt the economic downturn, Embry’s filed for Chapter 11, emerging back on track a year later on the ef forts of the family’s “right-sizing, not downsizing” philosophy.

Bill Embry III credited his father’s ability to adapt to changing times as a stabilizing force in the recovery. Recognizing the trend toward more casual clothing, they

adjusted their lines, but kept in mind the thought that there was still interest in dressing up. With that, the St. John clothing line became a signature of fering among the furs that line the walls, and it is carried still.

Three generations of Embry’s adapted and stepped up to the demands of a market that saw many other like concerns fail. The shopper -friendly atmosphere they created in the Lansdowne Shoppes reflects their acknowledgment that their clientele preferred the personal and local atmosphere that the customer-centric and intimate atmosphere offered.

“Every town has its own char m and warmth,” said Cliff Katsamakis as he sat in

the offices above the store. “The Embrys will be helping as consultants, and we are looking forward to updating and sprucing up — and enjoying the char m that we have already encountered here. W e are aware that tradition is important in Lexington — a passion — and find the whole new venture here exciting.”

He continued, “Even with their retirement, the Embrys’ words of experience will be well regarded and taken into account. As they’ve said, ‘T ough times don’t last; tough people do.’ Yvonne and I expect to maintain a similar profile of quality, relying on the experience of our salespeople and the concept that great customer service is key.”

BIGGER FISH TO FRY

SMITHTOWN SEAFOOD AND FOODCHAIN PARTNER ON A UNIQUE URBAN FARMING EXPERIMENT

BY LUKE SALADIN CONTRIBUTING WRITER

A

Lexington nonprofit and a local restaurateur are teaming up to show the region that ecologic responsibility and economic viability are not mutually exclusive.

FoodChain, a nonprofit promoting sustainable indoor food production, is partnering with the recently opened Smithtown Seafood to supply the restaurant with fish and vegetables raised at a local facility using aquaponics, a food production system in which plants and aquatic animals are cultivated by for ming a symbiotic relationship.

FoodChain Executive Director

Rebecca Self said that if the or ganization proves successful as a food supplier to Smithtown, it will help convince others that locally sourced food can be economically sustainable in areas with little agricultural space.

“We will be able to judge our success by how many people try to mimic what we do,” Self said. “W e needed someone to partner in order to show that the model works in a for -profit environment.

Smithtown was a perfect fit.”

Perfect because Smithtown Seafood is owned by Ouita Michel, a well-known Kentucky chef and restaurant owner who stresses the importance of using local food sources and fresh ingredients.

“That is the way I run all of my

restaurants,” said Michel, who also owns and operates Wallace Station, The W indy Corner Market and the Holly Hill Inn. “We are harvesting the [FoodChain] fish right next door, so in ter ms of freshness, you can’t do much better than that.”

Both FoodChain and Smithtown Seafood are located in space adjacent to West Sixth Brewing Co. tap room, which is located at 501 West Sixth St. Customers place their order at Smithtown’s counter for carryout or staf f will deliver the food to them at seats located inside West Sixth Brewing.

Michel said she toyed with the idea of opening a brew pub in the past but wasn’t sure if she wanted that much responsibility at a single location, given her

chevy chaser magazine november 2013

responsibilities at her other restaurants.

“I keep pretty busy, so one of the things I like about this arrangement is that I am just in char ge of the food,” Michel said. “I had always wanted to open up a seafood restaurant, so this was ideal. Plus working with FoodChain to help promote a cause that is really important to me was very exciting.”

FoodChain currently provides four products to Smithtown: tilapia, lettuce, herbs and microgreens. Though these items represent a small fraction of what is available on Smithtown’s menu, Self said the operation is proving that alternative farming methods such as aquaponics are a viable supplement to traditional farming.

“This is really just an extension of the locally sourced food movement,” Self said. “If you live in a city and you want to produce local food, you have to be creative, but you can do it.”

In FoodChain’s aquaponic system, water containing waste excreted by the tilapia is broken down in tanks using a series of filters to produce nutrient-rich water. That water , in tur n, is circulated into beds upon which the lettuce, herbs and microgreens float on Styrofoam-like material. As the nutrients are absorbed by the plants, the water is circulated back into the fish tanks and the process is repeated.

The plants in the FoodChain system are grown under induction lights mounted on pulleys that are constantly shifting in order to provide equal light to all the plants in the system. Self said the induction lights use about half the electricity of standard growing lights.

FoodChain currently uses six tanks to grow its supply of tilapia, which takes about six months to reach harvesting size.

One tank is harvested each month on a rotating basis, and the fish are replaced with another 85 tilapia fingerlings, ensuring a regular supply of 150 to 180 pounds of tilapia per month.

FoodChain originally put about 65 fish in each tank, but increased the number to 85 at the request of Smithtown employees, who were having trouble plating the fish because of its size and the fact that Smithtown serves all of its tilapia whole.

“The fish was too big for the plate,” Self said. “Most people have trouble imagining that because most of us are used to eating fillets, but that’s not the way Smithtown does it.”

Michel said thus far the monthly supply of tilapia from FoodChain has sold out very quickly — usually in a day or two.

Each of the tilapia feeds about two people and costs $20. Approximately $8 from the sale of each tilapia goes to support FoodChain.

“We’re really trying to get [FoodChain’s] production up because there is a huge demand,” she said. “That’s just going to take some time.”

Self said while it takes about six months to cultivate tilapia in the aquaponic system, the lettuce takes about six weeks from seed to harvest. Some of the microgreens and herbs can grow in about 10-15 days.

“We all need some type of protein in our diet,” Self said. “But our system illustrates the point that if you are talking about sustainability, we probably need to start eating more food produced from plant sources.”

One of the tilapia dishes served at Smithtown is Tilapia Singapore, a whole tilapia seasoned with Szechuan salt and

served with sweet and spicy pickled vegetables. Lettuce leaves, herbs and microgreens included with the dish all come from FoodChain.

Smithtown’s offerings thus far have included cod, flounder, and freshwater catfish. Shrimp and oysters are also available.

Non-seafood items include a hot dog produced by Marksbury Far m in Lancaster , Ky., along with beef burgers and salads.

Revel said the menu at Smithtown will change depending on the season and

what types of fish, meat and vegetables are available from local and sustainable sources, including FoodChain.

“Because of the way we choose to operate, we may not always have the particular fish you want,” Michel said. “But due to the fact that we only use what is available, we have a lot of variety in our menu.”

Some additional of ferings from FoodChain may be on the horizon. Self said in the coming months the or ganiza-

tion is planning to utilize the basement to grow mushrooms and available rooftop space to grow vegetables.

“The goal is to make use of all the space that we have,” Self said. “W e’re hoping that Smithtown has a lot of success and that it draws a lot of attention to what we are doing.”

Because the primary component of FoodChain’s mission is education, Self said the organization is of fering tours of the facility to schoolchildren and guid-

chevy chaser magazine november 2013

ance to those interested in utilizing aquaponics for their own endeavors. She expects the educational component to pick up after their relationship with Smithtown proves to be lasting and profitable for the restaurant.

“Since we are a nonprofit, we can take more risks and experiment with a little trial and error,” Self said. “That way we can help people in the future to avoid any of the problems and mistakes that we encounter.”

FARM TO TABLE:

IT’S ALL THE GRAZE

COUNTRY STORE AND RESTAURANT DRAWS FOODIES TO CLARK COUNTY LINE

chevy chaser magazine november 2013

n a 130-year -old post of fice building within sight of the Clark and Fayette county line, Laurentia T orrealba and chef Craig Devilliers are looking to bring farm to table to a new level with Graze.

“If you start looking into local food, there’s not a real recognized definition of ‘local.’ For a lot of people, it’s 400 miles, but what I want to say is for us, local is this county or it’s the surrounding counties,” Torrealba said.

“The lamb you’re going to eat, I raised it. The beef, I can walk you to the cows. It’s going to take us two minutes and you can almost see them [from the restaurant],” she said.

Torrealba is the owner of Colibri Farm in eastern Clark County, where she raises sheep. She gets her beef from the restaurant’s landlord, Douglas Owens, owner of Brookview Beef Far m, which is adjacent to the for mer Pine Grove Community post office along Combs Ferry Road in extreme wester n Clark County.

Torrealba also gets vegetables from Crooked Row Far m, within two miles of Graze, and pastured pork and poultry from nearby Wholesome Living Farm.

“Every day you’ll come in and there will be two or three items on the blackboard, so that way we can actually do stuff fresher, do seasonal stuf f, and that way we’ll have a lower inventory,” she said.

Torrealba said the small building always hit her as an ideal spot for a country store or restaurant to serve the nearby community. Then after winning a home chef competition with her husband in the lead up to the recent Crave Lexington food and music festival, she had the idea of being the one to test that theory.

“There’s such a range of people coming through here. There are construction workers from the pipeline. There are also ritzy housewives from Combs Ferry, and we really want to create a menu for those guys where they can grab a burger on the go and they can feel happy with it,” she said. “But for those people that want to come eat and sit down for an hour and drink a glass of wine, [we’ll have that too].

We want to do something so everyone can feel like this is their country store, because it’s their community.”

Torrealba, a native of northern South Africa near the Zimbabwe border , enlisted the help of her fellow national Devilliers, who is from South Africa’s eastern cape.

The two did not know each other until a year ago when she noticed the name Devilliers as the executive chef on the menu at Bellini’s in downtown Lexington and thought he must be a fellow countryman. She emailed him to introduce herself and see if the upscale Italian eatery would be interested in buying her lamb, which she also sells to Lexington French eatery Le Deauville and Berea’s Boone Tavern.

While Graze has a rustic feel and operators with a pedigree that would suggest high-end dining, neither T orrealba nor Devilliers want their high-quality fare to be cast as fine dining.

PHOTOS BY ROBBIE CLARK

Graze is located in an old post office buiding that dates back to the 1880s on Combs F erry Road on the Clark and Fayette county line.

The daily blackboard menu will always feature a lamb or beef burger and entrees in the $12 to $13 range. There will also be a meat case for retail purchase, but Torrealba said meat available for take-home purchase can also be fired up by the chef, even if it is of f menu.

Devilliers is looking forward to being out of a fine-dining kitchen and the freedom Torrealba will give him on their menu. Graze has a small kitchen, and they don’t anticipate adding a fryer.

“I don’t want to fry,” Devilliers said.

“I just want to use coals and a grill.”

Devilliers hopes to expand the grilling capacity out back of the building as the 15-seat restaurant expands into al fresco dining come spring. Graze also features the pastries of current Transylvania student Emily Novak, who Torrealba said has plans to attend Le Cordon Bleu culinary school in New Zealand upon graduation next year.

For now, Graze is open starting at 11 a.m. with service running through an early dinner until 6:30 p.m., though both Torrealba and Devilliers said they will accommodate diners coming in shortly after. They are also considering opening for breakfast. chevy chaser magazine november 2013

TIME-TESTED COOKING

“THE HISTORIC KENTUCKY KITCHEN” COOKBOOK COMPOSED OF UNEARTHED RECIPES

BY ESTHER MARR CONTRIBUTING WRITER

I

n early 2010, when Andrew McGraw was working as a student assistant in the archives of the University of Kentucky Special Collections library, he happened upon some treasures that would become the foundation for his first book.

Tucked into handwritten family records, diaries and scrapbook clippings were dozens of old recipes that seemed to be begging to be re-tested and explored.

“Andrew and I both had a shared interest and love of food and started talking about how fun it would be to actually cook those recipes and bring this part of history alive in a tangible way,” said Deirdre Skaggs, associate dean of Special Collections, who co-authored “The Historic Kentucky Kitchen: T raditional Recipes for Today’s Cook” with McGraw.

McGraw and Skaggs for mulated a plan to assemble as many recipes as possible from the notes they found, which were authored by 19th and early 20thcentury Kentucky cooks. After getting the University Press of Kentucky on board with their cookbook manuscript, their idea started to simmer.

The authors spent two years cooking, researching and writing. The result is a delicious medley of more than 100 classic dishes, complete with descriptions of each recipe’s origin and helpful moder nization tips. McGraw and Skaggs, who carefully tested each dish, also provide recipe modifications and substitutions for rare and hard-to-find ingredients.

Accented with interesting historical photographs, “The Historic Kentucky Kitchen” serves up famous Kentuckians’ favorite dishes, such as John Sher man Cooper’s preferred comfort food, eggs somerset, and Lucy Hayes Breckinridge’s “excellent” fried oysters. Other traditional Bluegrass recipes range from skillet cakes to spaghetti with celery and ham.

McGraw feels “The Historic Kentucky Cookbook” sets itself apart due to the fact that it’s not a “chefy” book. “By

that I mean the recipes were created or written down by people just interested in giving someone something good to eat without any pretension,” he said. “These are the things they fed their family and friends simply because they thought they tasted good.”

It’s easy to see why McGraw and Skaggs wanted to further explore the culinary world, since they hail from food-loving backgrounds. Skaggs is from Vanceburg, Ky., where her family members were avid gardeners and great cooks.

“I grew up helping my grandmother can fresh vegetables and eating big family meals at holidays,” Skaggs said. “Those meals are special memories for me.

Obviously not just the taste and quality of the home-cooked meal, but what it symbolized for my family and the development of whom I have become.”

McGraw moved from W ashington D.C. to Lexington as a young boy and has always considered Kentucky his home.

“Growing up I can remember how Kentucky foods became ingrained in our family meals,” he said. “Country ham and

biscuits became a staple whenever we entertained.”

McGraw, who currently serves as the sous chef at the recently opened County Club restaurant, first became interested in cooking while attending college – he and a group of friends would prepare lar ge meals together every Saturday night since their dining options were limited.

Skaggs and McGraw hope their cookbook will result in others enjoying the fellowship of family and friends over a hearty, home-cooked meal.

“I hope taking these recipes out of the archives and putting them into a contemporary published cookbook will allow this tradition to be carried out for future generations,” Skaggs said. “I hope it will also raise awareness for the general public about the importance of their own family traditions and recipes.”

Added McGraw: “People interested in cooking and history will get something out of this book,” he said. “These recipes have context that reflect the history and tradition of cooking in Kentucky, and this is a state where people like their history and tradition.”

BY ANN BOWE | LANDSCAPES COLUMNIST

nother summer has passed, and it is officially fall. Or autumn – this is the only season called by two names. Ever wonder where these words originated?

Chaucer used the word “autumn” way back in the 1300s, so it’s been around for a good long while. Here is one story, with uncertain truth. We borrowed from the Latin autumnus, meaning “the harvest time of plenty.” This might be related to the Latin verb augere, “to increase.” Of ficially, the verdict is that the word autumn is of obscure origin.

This season was once referred to simply as “harvest,” being the time when farmers gathered their crops for winter storage. In the early 1600s, when more people became city dwellers, the word harvest fell out of use. The terms spring and fall likely gained usage at this time, as urban folks started to speak of the “spring of the leaf” and the “fall of the leaf,” now shortened to spring and fall. (W orks well for daylight savings time, right? Spring forward, fall back. Someone was thinking ahead.)

So now we know that “fall” comes from the fall of the leaf, this then begs the question: Why do leaves fall?

Deciduous trees lose their leaves in more northerly latitudes to protect themselves during the winter months. Leaves have a lar ge surface area through which cold, dry winds could strip moisture from the trees. So, by losing their leaves, trees can conserve their moisture. Also, leaf loss puts the tree into a state of dormancy, greatly reducing the energy required to keep the tree alive.

It helps to know a little about how trees feed themselves. During the growing season, leaves use the plentiful sunlight to photosynthesize, a process that produces chlorophyll, which turns them green. It’s a fair trade: the leaves provide ener gy for the tree through photosynthesis and the tree feeds the leaves with nutrients its roots take up from the ground. But now that the days are getting shorter, the efficiency of the leaves is decreasing. At some point the leaves start to be an ener gy draw, taking more nutrients to feed themselves than they are able to provide to the tree.

How does the tree rid itself of leaves each fall? The leaves don’t just fall of f, they’re pushed.

As our days get shorter and colder, these changes trigger a hor mone in deciduous

chevy chaser magazine november 2013

trees that sends a “time to go” message to the leaves. This hor mone causes little cells to appear at the spot where the leaf stem meets the branch. These are called abscission cells, from the same root word as scissors. Like scissors, they are designed to make a cut.

In this abscission layer, the cells divide rapidly, forming a corky layer that gradually blocks the transport of materials from the leaf to the branch and the flow of minerals from the roots into the leaves.

We can thank this process for our beautiful autumn leaf color. The abscission layer stops the formation of chlorophyll, which is replaced constantly in the leaves during the growing season. This is when the fall colors are revealed.

Chlorophyll normally masks the yellow pigments (xanthophylls) and orange pigments (carotenoids), which then become visible when the chlorophyll is gone. These colors are present in the leaves throughout the growing season. Red and purple pigments come from anthocyanins. Anthocyanins are manufactured in the fall from the sugars trapped in the leaf. In most plants anthocyanins are not present during the growing season.

Temperature, sunlight and soil moisture have a great impact on the brilliance of the fall colors. Lots of sunlight and low temperatures cause the chlorophyll to be destroyed more rapidly and promote the for mation of anthocyanins. An early frost destroys a leaf’s ability to produce anthocyanins, meaning an early end to color ful foliage.

Drought stress during the growing season can sometimes trigger the early formation of the abscission layer, and the leaves drop before they have a chance to develop fall coloration. A growing season with ample moisture (a condition we have surely met) followed by an autumn with warm, sunny days and cool but frost free nights, provides the best weather conditions for the development of the brightest fall color.

So now there’s a third question. Why does a tree bother to produce anthocyanins?

It seems logical for trees to remove all of the carbohydrates from the leaves before giving them the shove. But carbs are needed to produce these pigments. Some entomologists postulate that the evolutionary reason for expending energy to produce fall color is to warn pests. A healthy plant can produce more carbs, and therefore more anthocyanin. This may cause some insect pests to seek another host plant that is weaker and drab by comparison. Another suggestion is that anthocyanins may act as a sunscreen to inhibit the destruction of chlorophyll, help to prevent frost injury to the leaves, or limit water loss during dry spells in the autumn.

Eventually, the leaves fall to the ground. Don’t rake all those leaves, let some stay to do their job of insulating the roots. When those leaves rot in the spring they provide much-needed nutrients for the tree. Suggestion: Mow leaves once with a mulching mower, without the collection bag. Mow a second time, collecting the cut up leaves, and distribute these as mulch.

While fall is beautiful, there is also a bit of the melancholy about the season. Our gardens are winding down, flowers have gone to seed. The chill of winter awaits. And yet it is also such an abundant time, food gathered in, time to rest. And dream of the spring of the leaf.

POPULAR FOOD TRUCK ATHENIAN GRILL NOW A REAL RESTAURANT

GREECE IS THE WORD

BY CYNTHIA ELLINGSEN CONTRIBUTING WRITER

I

lias Pappas always thought he might open a restaurant, but he never made a specific plan to do it. Yet, with the reception of a popular food stand, a passion for authentic Greek food and support from the local community, the pieces all fell into place. In mid-October, Pappas officially opened the doors to the Athenian Grill, the first brick and mortar restaurant based on the culinary concept of his mobile kitchen.

Pappas came up with the idea of opening a Greek food truck in 2012. He’d just returned to Lexington following a few years in Greece and Miami and was out with some friends when he spotted someone selling food outside of West Sixth Brewery. That moment turned out to be transformative.

“That’s where all of this started,” said Pappas, who initially wasn’t aware it was permissible for vendors to sell food on the street, and thought that he could find success getting involved with the food truck trend transpiring in Lexington.

After all, Pappas had culinary experience. He’d worked with local restaurants and a few spots in Miami. In addition, his family had a history in catering. He took the leap and opened the food stand in September of 2012, serving authentic Greek cuisine.

One of the most popular items on the menu was the spanakopita, a spinach pie made from phyllo dough, spinach and feta cheese. The tzatziki, similar in taste to cucumber Greek yogurt, became a crowd favorite, along with the hummus. Regulars also kept coming back for the gyros.

“We were supported by the local community from the very first setup, which consisted of one tent and two tables,” Pappas said.

Local architecture and design firm alt32 reworked the interior and exterior of the Athenian Grill restaurant. The company puts an emphasis on sustainability and repurposed many of the materials broken down during construction – wood from the ceiling became an upstairs table (left) and lath was transformed into a decorative wall display (far right).

With time, regulars began asking for more complex Greek dishes and booking the company for catering jobs. Pappas realized that the demand was there for a permanent Athenian Grill location, but he didn’t have the funding. He tur ned to Kickstarter, an online crowd-funding platform, and set a goal to raise $15,000. The campaign ran from May 8 – June 19 of this year and raised a total of $18,205.

“Kickstarter gave me the proof that people wanted to see this happen,” Pappas said.

During this time, a family member showed him a potential location for the restaurant – the for mer home of Belle’s Bakery. The location is tucked away on South Ashland, just across the street from Starbucks. When Pappas pulled into the driveway, there was a For Lease sign in the yard.

“I left the house that mor ning not

planning to have a restaurant, and by the night time I had the keys,” Pappas said.

“That was in June.”

With the location resolved, he then contracted local architecture firm alt32 to design and alter the location. Initially, the plans focused on resolving space issues and ensuring everything was up to code.

“We’ve done a lot of the work ourselves, which has been a fun experiment,” said Rebecca Cox, a designer and project manager with alt32. “W e ripped out a lot of walls and ceilings and opened everything up.”

The company puts an emphasis on sustainability, and as a result repurposed many of the materials broken down during construction. For example, an upstairs table was made from wood pulled out of the ceilings. The decorative wall of wooden slats was constructed from lath once buried in plaster. Even the casework

was made from reclaimed materials. The firm also put a heavy emphasis on creating ambience with their design.

“I think of it as theatrical set design,” Cox said. “You’re going into a space to have an experience. That’s our goal here.

Create a feeling, an ambience and a nice space for the community.”

The finished product is cozy and transparent, as customers can see every detail of the cooking process from the moment they walk in. There are just three tables downstairs, with outdoor seating available as well. Upstairs, the chef’s table can be reserved for parties of six, where guests can enjoy an exclusive dinner created and served by Pappas.

The upstairs area will also serve as a Greek market, which will stock items such as coffee, spices and olive oil – all authentically Greek. It will also of fer inhouse selections, such as family-sized

Athenian Grill’s Greek beef stew

chevy chaser magazine november 2013

desserts and hummus.

Pappas is excited at the opportunity to offer a greater variety of Greek cuisine to his customers than he could supply from the food stand.

“The menu on the grill is four or five times bigger,” Pappas said. “We’re adding more desserts, more dips, main entrees – famous Greek entrees, traditional – and we’re having sides like lemon potatoes, rice and roasted vegetables.”

Some of those Greek entrees include moussaka, an eggplant and meat dish; Greek beef stew on roasted lemon potatoes; and pastitisio, a Greek lasagna dish.

“From beginning to end, we want to serve quality, fresh, authentic Greek food, as fast as possible,” Pappas said.

Athenian Grill is open 10:30 a.m. - 8:30 p.m. Mon. - Thurs. and 10:30 a.m. 9:30 p.m. Fri. - Sat.

ARTIST JERIELLE HANLON BLENDS ARTISTIC INFLUENCES WITH ICONIC FIGURES FROM THE BLUEGRASS STATE

BY RIANNA ROBINSON CONTRIBUTING WRITER

A

POP KENTUCKY LIFE chevy chaser magazine november 2013

rtist Jerielle Hanlon loves Kentucky, and is using her artwork to share that love with others. From Ale-8 One to the Kentucky Wildcats, Hanlon chooses subject matter which reflects the unique culture of the Bluegrass state while paying homage to the artists who have inspired her.

Hanlon has been studying art since childhood, and said it has always played a role in her life. Hanlon studied studio art at the University of Kentucky and T ransylvania University, and has traveled the globe from the Czech Republic to Japan to learn about different media and techniques. While Hanlon has done everything from sculpture to photography, she focuses mainly on painting now, and uses acrylic paint for most of her pieces.

Not long after Hanlon decided to pursue a career as a professional artist, she went to the 2012 NCAA Final Four tournament in New Orleans, which the University of Kentucky men’s basketball team ultimately won. Hanlon not only found new subject matter , but a new respect for the game of basketball.

“My art has always been about a sense of pride in what we have culturally in Kentucky, and I was really inspired by what I experienced in New Orleans,” Hanlon said. “It was insanely awesome for me to see this thing that brought so many people from Kentucky together . Once you become a part of that, you really feel like you have a huge family. And, the team that year was really inspiring, just the way they worked together and were like a family was inspiring. They really loved each other, and you could see that. And that inspired me to get into basketball.” As Hanlon dived further into her budding interest in basketball, she said she was able to draw parallels between the cultural impact

of art and sports, and how both things can draw people together through shared appreciation.

Hanlon has been influenced by a wide range of artists, from Mexican surrealist Frida Kahlo to 1960s pop artist Andy Warhol, and often let their work inspire her paintings of the UK team and players. Hanlon channeled Kahlo’s self portraits for two images she did of UK forward Anthony Davis, and was moved to do so because both are known for having unibrows.

“I was really surprised after I did those paintings with how many people knew of Frida Kahlo,” she said.

Hanlon also uses pop culture references in her paintings. She has done portraits of Doron Lamb in restraints ala

Hannibal Lecter from the movie, “The Silence of the Lambs,” because it was said Lamb “couldn’t be contained.” She transformed Terrence Jones into a Terminator robot in another painting, and has also done portraits of Darius Miller, Patrick Patterson and Demarcus Cousins, as well as the team as a whole and several paintings of head coach John Calipari. Hanlon is planning to paint a full-length portrait of Calipari in the near future, and was recently commissioned to do a portrait by legendary UK coach, Joe B. Hall, after he saw some of her paintings of the 2012 Wildcats.

Hanlon is not just inspired by the Wildcats, but by all things Kentucky.

Another series Hanlon has recently worked on was inspired by the state’s

signature soft drink, Ale-8-One, and the works of Warhol.

“Ale-8 is something only Kentucky has, and it’s something people from Kentucky feel a sense of ownership of,” she said. “A lot of times with my subject matter, I’m thinking of how I can give this community which I’m a part of examples of things they can feel proud of, and which will give them a sense of identity. I want to make art everyone can relate to – everyone who lives in Kentucky, is from Kentucky or who has loved Kentucky.”

Hanlon sells prints all over the country and beyond to people with a connection to the state. “No matter where you go, you still keep that love of Kentucky in your heart,” she said.

chevy chaser magazine november 2013

On Display Hanlon will be selling her work at the Lexington Art Fair, Nov. 23-24, at the Lexington Convention Center. She will also have several pieces on display at the Good Foods Co-Op through December, and has works on display at North Lime Coffee and Donuts, Rosebuds, Trust Lounge and Meg C’s Jewelry Gallery. Prints of her paintings are on sale at the Morris Book Shop, The Collective, CD Central, Pop’s Resale and online at the Ky Pop Art site on Etsy. Hanlon is available for portraits, murals and commissioned pieces and can be reached at jerielle.art@gmail.com.

PORTRAIT OF “STREET ART” CURATORS

JOHN & JESSICA WINTERS

chevy chaser magazine november 2013

BY SARAYA BREWER CHEVY CHASER MAGAZINE

T

he title PRHBTN might be a play on the word “prohibition” – referring to the stigma often af filiated with the art forms featured at the annual “street art” event – but one of the primary goals of event or ganizers John and Jessica Winters is to make art more accessible for everyone.

“There has always been this perception of art as ‘elitist,’ or that it’s only for the chosen few who can appreciate it or who seek it out,” John said. “W e love being able to help put works on the street where anyone can enjoy them – it really breaks down the barrier that galleries and established art shows can sometimes create.”

A multi-faceted art and music event primarily concentrated on the weekend of Nov. 15-17, PRHBTN has a special focus on art forms typically found on the street, including spray paint, wheat paste, decals and stencils, but to be clear , one of the primary elements of the third annual PRHBTN is indeed a gallery show at Buster’s Billiards & Backroom. In the words of John and Jessica, however , this isn’t “some stuf fy art show” – PRHBTN weekend events include a Friday night party for the Lexington Tattoo Project and a Saturday event culminating in a dance party with high ener gy electronic artists Paper Diamond and Wick-It the Instigator.

Additional PRHBTN events include artist talks and a showcase featuring local and regional street art, where the public can purchase and take home art that’s primarily relegated to the side of buildings or other public settings.

“Part of PRHBTN is that we are trying to give these artists a legal platfor m for expressing themselves and making money and making art,” Jessica said.

New to this year’s event is a public art component, something that was inspired in part by the local response to the large commissioned murals that German artist duo HERAKUT installed on two downtown buildings last year . In November, PRHBTN will bring in four internationally recognized muralists from locations as far as Portugal and Brazil to create large scale, permanent or semi-permanent installations on prominent public walls around Lexington. Owners of the walls – which include the large brick wall on the backside of the Kentucky Theater and the side of The Bazaar at the Gathering Place adjacent to the Lexington Rescue Mission in north Lexington – will be signing agreements not to alter the works for 10 years.

43

While the public response and support has been overwhelmingly positive, the organizers are aware that there is still a stigma attached to this kind of art, and that’s something they hope to help the public overcome.

“It’s kind of controversial – some people are hesitant to get involved, because they’re like ‘I don’t want anyone to think I support vandalism,’” she added. “But everything that we are promoting is legal and with per mission.”

One goal of bringing in national and international muralists is to ultimately help raise the profile not only of PRHBTN but of the Lexington art scene overall, John explained – as a result of their involvement with both PRHBTN and the HERAKUT murals (which were organized by Kremena T odorova and Kurt Gohde, but which John and Jessica helped promote and support), several business owners have come to the couple asking them to connect them with local artists for commissioned artwork.

“After last year’s show we had a lot of requests for mural work,” John said. “In the last year alone, murals and large scale pieces have gone up in over half a dozen locations and they have all been done by local artists. We love being able to tur n the excitement around Herakut’s murals and the upcoming murals from Eduardo Kobra, Gaia, Phlegm, and Odeith into opportunities for our local artists.”

Jessica is looking forward to the public murals doing what she feels public art does best: making people think.

“When you see something on the street, it should zap you out of the everyday hum drum and make you think – whether you laugh, or are inspired, quizzical, or even disgusted,” she said. “If it gets your attention, I believe it’s done its job.”

PRHBTN Nov. 15-17

In addition to the installation of four largescale, public murals at various Lexington locations by artists Gaia, Odeith, Kobra and Phlegm, PRHBTN will host the following events at Buster’s Billiards and Backroom: Gallery Hop reception. 5-8 p.m. Nov. 15 Closing party. 8 p.m. Nov. 16 Gallery exhibit open to the public.

Nov. 17, hours TBA. Details on artists lectures and additional event information coming soon. Visit www.prhbtn.com for more information.

PRHBTN PUBLIC MURALS In addition to hosting a showcase of local and regional art, the third annual PRHBTN will bring in the following internationally recognized street artists to create permanent or semi-permanent murals on prominent Lexington walls. The public is invited to watch the muralists as they work in in the days leading up and the week end of the event.

For more details, visit www.prhbtn.com.

KOBRA Based in Sao Paulo, Brazil, Eduardo Kobra is known for large scale, colorful murals that typically incorporate geometric patterns, often using historic photographs as a starting point for his designs. His mural is slated for the large brick wall on the back of the Kentucky Theater, facing Vine Street. (Note: Though most muralists will be installing their work during PRHBTN weekend, Kobra will be install his mural the week of Nov. 4-11.)

ODEITH Based in Portugal, Odeith-Eith specializes in hyper-realistic graphics that give the optical illusion of being 3D. Odeith will be painting a mural on the side of the Bazaar at the Gathering Place , on North Limestone and Bryan (adjacent to the Lexington Rescue Mission).

GAIA Educated at the Maryland Institute College of Art, Gaia has had studio work and gallery projects exhibited in New York, Los Angeles, San Francisco and Washington D.C. Many of his pieces depict almost mythical-seeming animal-human hybrids.

His public art pieces can be found in Miami, Spain, Korea, Jersey City, Chicago and more. Gaia will paint a mural on the side of West Sixth Brewing as part of PRHBTN.

PHLEGM Based out of Sheffield, England, comic book and zine artist Phlegm typically focuses on fantastical creatures and scenes that look as though they have come out of a comic or story book. Funded by the North Limestone neighborhood revitalization nonprofit NoLi CDC, Phlegm will paint a mural on a North Limestone location to be announced in the weeks leading up the PRHBTN.

The production is a good choice for Tomb, the founder and director of Mecca an annual production without the fear of Live Studio & Gallery, was already deep becoming stale.

“The goal with this dance for m has principal taking a jour ney, a self-awarealways been elevating it to the stage, just ness journey,” Tomb said. “There’s some

sort of moral or self-discovery in the tale.”

Out of Scheherazade’s stories, there are a number of tales and characters that are recognizable, such as “Sinbad the Sailor” and “The Thief of Baghdad,” which was the basis for last year’s production.

“Last year’s was very scene by scene in that one could see the unfolding,” Tomb said. “There’s just so much to choose from, we want the approach to be fresh every year. This year, some of the pieces will be a little more abstract and conceptual, so we won’t be working with a straight storyline. There will be more vignettes that reflect back to some of the stories.”

While conceptualizing the production, Tomb writes the show to work with aspects that are in her students’ repertoire, only applied in a way to make it fit on stage. She says many of her dancers don’t come to Mecca classes, initially, interested in public performance, but ultimately find the opportunity appealing after they gain confidence.

“A lot of people come to it because they need to get in shape, and they don’t like going to the gym. They are looking for something that is a little more engaging than just running on a treadmill,” T omb said. “But after a while, a lot of them are like, ‘I want to perform this,’ and we make opportunities for them to per form, where they get to showcase what they lear n.”

LEXINGTON TATTOO PROJECT CELEBRATES A YEAR AND MORE

W

hen Transylvania University professors and community art activists Kurt Gohde and Kremena Todorova first came up with the loose framework for the Lexington Tattoo Project – a community art initiative asking participants to permanently tattoo phrases from a love poem about Lexington onto their bodies – they were uncertain about what sort of public interest there might be in the project.

So they did what just about anyone looking to float a half-baked idea among their immediate social circles might do: they posted an inquiry on Facebook.

“We thought we would maybe get 100 participants,” Gohde said. W ithin weeks of the post, sign-ups to participate in the project nearly doubled that expectation – and the poem, penned by local writer Bianca Spriggs, hadn’t even been written yet. “We had to close it down after 220 and say we’re not taking any more.”

“And people ignored us,” T odorova said. She added that when they first created the Facebook event last October, neither she, Gohde or the participants had any idea what shape the project would ultimately take.

The shape of the project (literally) will be revealed at a celebratory event at

Buster’s Billiards & Backroom on Nov. 15, at which time the duo will unveil the “secret image” composed by the signature dots and circles that were integrated with the lettering of the 253 tattoos that have been issued as part of the project.

“If all the tattoos were photographed and reassembled, the secret image would become visible,” Gohde explained, adding that reassembling photos of all the tattoos is a “massive challenge,” but a project he and Todorova are working on and hope to eventually complete.

In the year since the concept was initialized, The Lexington Tattoo Project has taken on a life of its own, giving Gohde, Todorova and all the participants in the project much to celebrate. In addition to issuing more than 250 tattoos that comprise a collaborative ode to Lexington, a coffee table book about the project is in the works, to be released in February 2014, and the project has gar nered enough national attention over the past year that it is now being replicated in several cities across the country – notably, more than 200 Boulder residents are expected to receive tattoos as part of the Boulder Tattoo Project in early November.

The duo, who is known for their oftentimes quirky art projects which

include a photographic essay of discarded couches and an oral history of local drag queens, has been amazed by the outpouring of community support and interest in the project, and the personal meanings that the tattoos have taken on with their owners. Personal stories surrounding the tattoo project, which was inspired in part by an increased consciousness of Lexington’s growing civic pride, are recounted on a blog kept up

by Gohde and Todorova at www.lexingtontattoproject.com.

While the Lexington T attoo Project originators are very much involved with the Boulder Tattoo Project and will likely be involved with a handful of tattoo projects in other cities that have expressed interest, including Cincinnati and Miami, the duo are working with the Knight Foundation, which has helped fund and support the venture, to make it an open source project that other cities can replicate at little expense.

“We don’t want Lexington to have had something that was unique but is no longer unique at all,” Gohde said. “Instead we want Lexington to have something that becomes a stronger network.”

Autumn Leaves and Their Portends

BY HARRIETT ROSE | OBSERVATIONS COLUMNIST

E

very morning when I open the blinds in my bedroom I am greeted by a beautiful maple tree whose leaves are tur ning so gradually that the sight is compelling each day. I’m really not a nature lover , or even an an observer usually, and I’ve lived here for eight years. Either this is an exceptional year or I have been slow to notice the slow day-to-day change from green to red to orange. Am I changing? Or has the sudden temperature drop just reminded me that the tree portends other changes to come?

Early Fall means my calendar is more full than usual. It also means fewer days for Congress to get its work done before there is another crisis in W ashington. I am sure this computer glitch in registration for healthcare will be fixed soon, but the newspapers are full of this problem and blame and apologies are flowing freely.

The crisis I am anticipating is budgetary and political. The radical Right does not admit the error of their method of causing unrest enough not to try it again and my fear is another crisis.

I cannot see any way out of the divisiveness in Washington. The Supreme Court decision allowing money to be given the status of free speech and camI remember my paigns which begin 10 minutes after every election father saying to our seem to guarantee our being besieged by propaganmaid-of-all-work, da about the activities – past and present – of every “Mattie, who are candidate ad nauseam. Also the quality of candidates you going to vote is disguised by the ability to raise money. for?” Her answer, I remember my father saying to our maid-of-allunforgettable to me, work, “Mattie, who are you going to vote for?” Her was, “I don’t know, answer, unforgettable to me, was, “I don’t know, boss – who’s payin’ the most?” boss – who’s payin’ That was probably in the ‘40s – per haps all that the most?” has changed is the sums involved.

Of course the issues for which the bought politicians vote are also larger than the bribes paid for those votes.

Also, today’s candidates for our highest of fice start running early in their elected positions. I would think they would not have time to know where the bathrooms are in Washington before they are acknowledged to be running for president. No prior learning required – no seasoning, just ambition and ego. I remind you of the debates of the many candidates and their mis-qualifications for the Republican nominee for president in the last campaign.

Meanwhile, the turning trees are beautiful, the weather is crisp (and too cold too soon), autumn is here, the races have moved to Louisville, the football team is struggling but trying hard, basketball tickets have been distributed, for once Kentucky has led the pack in health registration, and I’ll try to ignore politics until Christmas.

We have Thanksgiving to go before we have to shop for Christmas – not that the merchants and the advertising industry know it – but let’s not rush our lives away.

2014 will be here soon enough.
