Morris says, “This is a great day for Rubicon, a company I started right here in Kentucky with a $10,000 line of credit and maxed out credit cards,” adding, “It is a great day for Kentucky, because it shows that a world class technology company can be founded and thrive right here in the Commonwealth, and that innovation isn’t limited to the East or West Coasts.” Lexington Mayor Linda Gorton says, “The company’s decision to locate here was an important milestone in the growth and development of our tech sector. As recycling and sustainability become more and more critical to our world, the need for Rubicon’s digital solutions for waste and recycling grows.” Lexington Councilmember Amanda Bledsoe says, “I have been thrilled by their investment in our community and many partnerships across the Commercestate.”Lexington Inc.

Small Business of the Year Highbridge Springs Water was named the 2022 Small Business of the Year at an August luncheon, the recipient of this year’s Commerce Lexington award in the Business Success Category. Highbridge Springs was chosen from three different category winners. Celebrating its 40th anniversary in 2022, Highbridge Springs Water Company bottles and delivers pure, limestone-filtered drinking water from a natural spring fed by an underground aquifer above the Kentucky River palisades next to High Bridge in Jessamine County. Linda Griffin currently serves as president of the company, but it was her father, Bill, who purchased an inactive quarry in the mid-1970’s to possibly use in a warehousing capacity. He later realized that to use the space, he had to figure out how to address moisture issues caused by water gushing from the ceiling. Thus, Highbridge Springs was born. Today, Highbridge Springs is one of the oldest women-owned companies in the state, has 35 employees, and bottles over 20,000 gallons of water per day, which is delivered to customers in Central and Southeastern Kentucky and shipped into eight neighboring states.

SEP 18 NATURE HOP
Returns to Frankfort on Oct. 1
As the novel opens, a young gay man named Lark and his parents embark on a dangerous sea voyage across the Atlantic from Canada to Ireland, which is rumored to be one of the few other countries still accepting American refugees. But after a grief-stricken Lark becomes the sole survivor of the trip, he finds Ireland — devastated by environmental and political crises of its own — far less hospitable than hoped for, with mortal danger lurking on every horizon.
The premise of the novel — to be published by Algonquin Books on Sep 27 — is terrifying. Wildfires brought on by climate change have left most of the United States a blackened wasteland. War and famine have decimated the population.
“I wanted to make it as bad as I could, to emphasize where we’re headed,” says House, 51, in an interview at the home he shares with his husband, the writer and editor Jason Kyle Howard, in Lexington. “My two major concerns right now are the climate crisis and the rise of Christian nationalism. As somebody raised evangelical, I’m acutely aware of the good that fundamentalists can do, and the terrible, awful damage they can do. And it really scares me to see them becoming so mainstreamed. In the world of the novel, any kind of queer existence has been outlawed. That might sound extreme, but it’s not out of the question, the way things are going.”
Silas House will discuss and sign ‘Lark Ascending’ on Tue Sep 27 at 7 pm at Joseph Beth Booksellers.
It turns out that Silas can make even a dystopian novel feel familiar. He’s always had a way of creating a sense of community and warmth in his work.”
Not that the high-concept form and political content of the novel isn’t important to House, who has become increasingly alarmed and vocal about what he sees as rising existential threats to the planet and to American democracy. The emotional roots of the novel are in the grief he felt after the death of a beloved aunt in 2015, which began to deepen the following year after the 2016 election.“When my aunt died, I realized how transformative grief is — it was a total paradigm shift for me personally,” House says. “Then as I wrote the book starting in 2017, the situation in America was becoming more dire, and I was experiencing grief for my country. I was writing out of that grief for what I felt was the demise of our democracy.”
In the end, Lark Ascending is “an adventure story with a gay man in the lead role,” House says with a smile. “I didn’t know of one, so I wrote it.”
8 | September 2022 | acemagazinelex.com
Lark Ascending unexpectedly begins to feel less like a departure from the House canon, and more like a side trip to familiar destinations — the natural world; surviving adversity by finding small moments of hope, wonder, and joy; and above all the search for a chosen family, which arrives for Lark in the form of Helen, a tough, motherly Irishwoman, and Seamus, a beagle who becomes Lark’s boon companion. (Seamus, who takes over the narrative at various points, is based on House’s own beagle Ari, who during our interview made himself briefly available for photographs.)
—Algonquin editor Kathy Pories
A
Lark Ascending is perhaps the beginning of a new, sharper, more explicitly activist period in House’s life and work. (How to Be Beautiful, a literary/musical collaboration last month with singer Buffy Lawson at the Lexington Public Library was also an all-new take on a coming-ofage“Istory.)think the new novel is a timely response to the anxieties in this country and the world at large,” Howard says. “I’m a believer that artists have to stretch themselves, and writers have a responsibility to themselves as creators, but also to their readers, to expand their palette and stake out new artistic territory. Silas has always been omnivorous and adventurous as a writer, so this new book is a natural progression.”
Algonquin Books executive editor Kathy Pories, who has edited all of House’s adult novels — dating back to Clay’s Quilt (2001), A Parchment of Leaves (2003) and The Coal Tattoo (2004), all set in an Eastern Kentucky community resembling his native Leslie County — quickly saw that the manuscript of Lark Ascending, while different in form, was ultimately classic Silas House. Pories recalls, “it turns out that Silas can make even a dystopian novel feel familiar. He’s always had a way of creating a sense of community and warmth in his work, and in Lark Ascending, you understand these characters totally.”
“At first I thought, ‘This’ll never get published,’ because once you sort of get known for a particular kind of book, a lot of times publishers don’t want to make that hard right turn,” House says.
And what’s left of America is now controlled by religious fundamentalists who, among other things, have stripped women of their rights and made homosexuality punishable by death.
t first glance, Silas House’s new novel Lark Ascending looks like a radical departure from his previous work. Instead of being set in his native Appalachia or elsewhere in the contemporary South, Lark Ascending is a dystopian novel that unfolds in a post-apocalyptic, all-too-near future, mostly in Ireland.

Grant Lexington has been awarded a second significant federal grant to support its battle against opioids and other illegal drugs, and overdoses.“Theimpact of illegal drugs has been devastating since the pandemic, when we experienced a dramatic increase in overdose fatalities,” Lexington Mayor Linda Gorton said. “The overdose numbers have increased every year since the pandemic. More than 2,200 Kentuckians died from drug overdoses in 2021, a 14.5% increase over 2020.”

HEALTH AND OUTDOORS
The 2020 National Survey on Drug Use and Health estimates that 9.6% of adult Kentuckians used an illicit drug in the past 30 days and that 6.0% met the criteria for an illicit drug use disorder in the past year. Direct application of these estimates to Lexington’s adult population suggests that 24,525 adults used illicit drugs in the past 30 days, and 15,329 have met the criteria for an illicit drug use disorder in the past year.
The new grant will allow the City to continue its “Leave Behind Program,” where members of the Lexington Fire Department follow up with individuals who survived an overdose.

In 2018 the City was awarded a $2 million federal grant to help it strengthen the overdose prevention infrastructure. Under that grant, the city, working with the Fayette County Health Department, has provided more than $1 million in naloxone to individuals at increased risk of overdose, and to those who want to be ready if they witness or suspect an overdose. Almost 14,000 naloxone kits were provided to individuals and programs and more than 130 overdose prevention trainings and naloxone distributions were held. Hospitals, substance use disorder treatment programs, recovery residences, shelters, hotels, domestic violence, and sexual assault prevention programs, fraternity houses, and many other locations throughout the City

The Kosair Charities Face It Movement is collaborating with the Kentucky Children’s Hospital (KCH) and Kentucky Injury Prevention and Research Center (KIPRC) to bring awareness to the importance of safe medication storage in the home to prevent accidental ingestions among children.
The Face It Movement has created a campaign for families and professionals who work with families that offers tips to safely storing medication, as well as data points that highlight the critical nature of the issue. For example, the 2020 Kentucky Child Fatality and Near Fatality External Review Panel found that nearly one in six of all fatalities and near fatalities were related to the ingestion of substances.

FoodChain works to connect the Lexington community to fresh food and cultivate more active participation in the local food system. This is accomplished through community outreach including tours, kitchen programming and activities on FoodChain’s aquaponics farm. The organization believes that it is through community that we can build a more just, equitable and sustainable food system for all. The organization will work with the university, including facilities, colleges, The Food Connection, the UK Economic Development Collaborative and others to bring an aquaponics system into The Cornerstone. Aquaponics are food systems that combine aquaculture (fish, snails, etc.) and hydroponics to grow plants. The system will be available to be used as demonstration for classes and to host training sessions.
The Cornerstone building serves as the gateway to an emerging innovation district that will further connect the university with the city of Lexington. It is designed to foster a wide range of idea sharing, event hosting and programmatic opportunities around the concepts of innovation, creativity, technology, entrepreneurship and equitable economic development.FoodChain has worked alongside the Department of Dietetics and Human Nutrition, Campus Kitchen and the College of Agriculture, Food and Environment.

The Lexington Public Library broke ground on a new, significantly larger facility in the former Village Branch location on Versailles Road to better provide for the needs of the neighborhoods it serves. The new branch will reflect the community’s vision for a state-of-the-art community hub, one that offers robust resources and a myriad of program and service offerings.
“The Marksbury Family Branch will continue to serve as the cornerstone in LPL’s system wide vision, just as the Village Branch has done since 2004,” said Lexington Public Library Executive Director Heather Dieffenbach. “Village Branch consistently delivered rich programming, library collections, and resources from its small space, and we are excited to see how services will be expanded with a new space,” she added.
Lexington Public Library Breaks Ground on New Marksbury Family Branch
New facility will remain at previous location with a larger footprint and expanded offerings
A new two-story facility will replace the former Village Branch with nearly triple the amount of space available for library services. The new building will include community and study rooms, a dedicated classroom, makerspace, outdoor reading area, expanded adult and children’s areas, and a drive-thru window where customers can pick up and return borrowed materials. The Library estimates that it will serve approximately 1 million visitors per year at this location.TheLibrary Foundation has committed to raising $5.3 million in support of this $17 million project through a public-private partnership.
LPL began the development of a master plan in late 2018 to determine the vision and need for library space and facilities, and to provide a framework and guide for future improvements and growth. During the yearlong planning process, more than 2,400 library staff, stakeholders, and community members engaged in the conversation about the vision for library facilities in Lexington-Fayette County.
The Marksbury Family Foundation has committed the lead gift for the capital campaign to rebuild the former Village Branch and in recognition of their generosity, the new facility will be named the Marksbury Family Branch when it opens in late 2023.
After a Two-Year Hiatus, Jazz on the Lawn Returns
The Henry Clay Memorial Foundation invites the public to its annual Jazz on the Lawn concert on Sunday, September 4th from 5:30pm to 7:00pm. It has been two years since the last concert in 2019; the outbreak of COVID-19 derailed 2020 and its resurgence in 2021 caused the Foundation to cancel this great community event. This ever-popular concert takes place on the back lawn of the mansion, where guests are encouraged to bring their lawn chairs, blankets, andLeepicnics.Carroll’s C The Beat will once again provide the evening’s entertainment. Special guests this year are the emerging artists, The Wallace Sisters, from Lexington. Lee Carroll’s C The Beat explores the musical connections between Africa and the New World, playing music that is joyful, energetic, and highly danceable. Lee Carroll has a long career as a keyboardist, studio musician, producer, and arranger.
Overwhelmingly, the community supported a reimagining and expansion of this site as the future of the Lexington Public Library. “This is a great opportunity to introduce the world to Lexington as they enter our city,” said Library Foundation Co-Chairs, Ramsey Bova and Larry Smith. “The Marksbury Family Branch will be one of the first buildings people see as they enter Lexington from this corridor. It will stand as a clear demonstration of the vibrancy and diversity of our community and the value we place on education and culture.”

acemagazinelex.com | September 1, 2022 | 19 ROB BREZSNY’S FREE WILL ASTROLOGY
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): In her book Tales From Earthsea Libra-born Ursula K. Le Guin wrote, “What goes too long unchanged destroys itself. The forest is forever because it dies and dies and so lives.” I trust you’re embodying those truths right now. You’re in a phase of your cycle when you can’t afford to remain unchanged. You need to enthusiastically and purposefully engage in dissolutions that will prepare the way for your rebirth in the weeks after your birthday. The process might sometimes feel strenuous, but it should ultimately be great fun.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Author Zadie Smith praised Sagittarian writer Joan Didion. She says, “I remain grateful for the day I picked up Joan Didion’s Slouching Towards Bethlehem and realized that a woman could speak without hedging her bets, without hemming and hawing, without making nice, without sounding pleasant or sweet, without deference, and even without doubt.” I encourage Sagittarians of every gender to be inspired by Didion in the coming weeks. It’s a favorable time to claim more of the authority you have earned. Speak your kaleidoscopic wisdom without apology or dilution. More fiercely than ever before, embody your high ideals and show how well they work in the rhythms of daily life.
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): As a Scorpio, novelist Fyodor Dostoyevsky was rarely guilty of oversimplification. Like any intelligent person, he could hold contradictory ideas in his mind without feeling compelled to seek more superficial truths. He wrote, “The causes of human actions are usually immeasurably more complex and varied than our subsequent explanations of them.” I hope you will draw inspiration from his example in the coming weeks, dear Scorpio. I trust you will resist the temptation to reduce colorful mysteries to paradoxesstory.beexplanations.straightforwardTherewillalwaysatleastthreesidestoeveryIinviteyoutorelishgloriousandfertileenigmas.
CANCER (June 21-July 22): “My own curiosity and interest are insatiable,” wrote Cancerian author Emma Lazarus (18491887). Inspired by the wealth of influences she absorbed, she created an array of poetry, plays, novels, essays, and translations including the famous poem that graces the pedestal of America’s Statue of Liberty. I recommend her as a role model for you in the coming weeks, Cancerian. I think you’re ripe for an expansion and deepening of your curiosity. You will benefit from cultivating an enthusiastic quest for new information and fresh influences. Here’s a mantra for you: “I am wildly innocent as I vivify my soul’s education.”
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): “Now that I’m free to be myself, who am I?” Virgo-born Mary Oliver asks that question to start one of her poems. She spends the rest of the poem speculating on possible answers. At the end, she concludes she mostly longs to be an “empty, waiting, pure, speechless receptacle.” Such a state of being might work well for a poet with lots of time on her hands, but I don’t recommend it for you in the coming weeks. Instead, I hope you’ll be profuse, active, busy, experimental, and expressive. That’s the best way to celebrate the fact that you are now freer to be yourself than you have been in a while.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20): “The time you enjoy wasting is not wasted time,” said philosopher Bertrand Russell. I will add that the time you enjoy wasting is often essential to your well-being. For the sake of your sanity and health, you periodically need to temporarily shed your ambitions and avoid as many of your responsibilities as you safely can. During these interludes of refreshing emptiness, you recharge your precious life energy. You become like a fallow field allowing fertile nutrients to regenerate. In my astrological opinion, now is one of these revitalizing phases for you.
ARIES (March 21-April 19): In his poem “Autobiographia Literaria,” Aries-born Frank O’Hara wrote, “When I was a child, I played in a corner of the schoolyard all alone. If anyone was looking for me, I hid behind a tree and cried out, ‘I am an orphan.’” Over the years, though, O’Hara underwent a marvelous transformation. This is how his poem ends: “And here I am, the center of all beauty! Writing these poems! Imagine!” In the coming months, Aries, I suspect that you, too, will have the potency to outgrow and transcend a sadness or awkwardness from your own past. The shadow of an old source of suffering may not disappear completely, but I bet it will lose much of its power to diminish you.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Blogger Scott Williams writes, “There are two kinds of magic. One comes from the heroic leap, the upward surge of energy, the explosive arc that burns bright across the sky. The other kind is the slow accretion of effort: the water-on-stone method, the soft root of the plant that splits the sidewalk, the constant wind that scours the mountain clean.” Can you guess which type of magic will be your specialty in the coming weeks, Leo? It will be the laborious, slow accretion of effort. And that is precisely what will work best for the tasks that are most important for you to accomplish.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): To be the best Aquarius you can be in the coming weeks, I suggest the following: 1. Zig when others zag. Zag when others zig. 2. Play with the fantasy that you’re an extraterrestrial who’s engaged in an experiment on planet Earth. 3. Be a hopeful cynic and a cheerful skeptic. 4. Do things that inspire people to tell you, “Just when I thought I had you figured out, you do something unexpected to confound me.” 5. Just for fun, walk backward every now and then. 6. Fall in love with everything and everyone: a D-List celebrity, an oak tree, a neon sign, a feral cat.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): A blogger who calls herself HellFresh writes, “Open and raw communication with your partners and allies may be uncomfortable and feel awkward and vulnerable, but it solves so many problems that can’t be solved any other way.” Having spent years studying the demanding arts of intimate relationship, I agree with her. She adds, “The idea that was sold to us is ‘love is effortless and you should communicate telepathically with your partner.’ That’s false.” I propose, Pisces, that you fortify yourself with these truths as you enter the Reinvent Your Relationships Phase of your astrological cycle.

Email resume EOE.pparker@thoroughbredsolutions.com.toNoCalls.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20): In his poem “Auguries of Innocence,” William Blake (17571827) championed the ability “to see a World in a Grain of Sand. And a Heaven in a Wild Flower. Hold Infinity in the palm of your hand.” According to my reading of the astrological omens, Taurus, you are primed to do just that in the coming days. You have the power to discern the sacred in the midst of mundane events. The magic and mystery of life will shine from every little thing you encounter. So I will love it if you deliver the following message to a person you care for: “Now I see that the beauty I had not been able to find in the world is in you.”

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Capricorn novelist Marcia Douglas writes books about the history of her people in Jamaica. In one passage, she writes, “My grandmother used to tell stories about women that change into birds and lizards. One day, a church-going man dared to laugh at her; he said it was too much for him to swallow. My grandmother looked at him and said, ‘I bet you believe Jesus turned water into wine.’” My purpose in telling you this, Capricorn, is to encourage you to nurture and celebrate your own fantastic tales. Life isn’t all about reasonableness and pragmatism. You need myth and magic to thrive. You require the gifts of imagination and art and lyrical flights of fancy. This is especially true now. To paraphrase David Byrne, now is a perfect time to refrain from making too much sense.
