Project 1107
Legacy Grove is lively in Winchester BY REVEREND JERRY JOHNS
L
egacy Grove Park is designed to be an iconic green space in the heart of Winchester, Kentucky. The park contains a 2-acre, inclusive, adventure playground with a unique shade “sculpture” and exploration creek. Legacy Grove is also home to Winchester’s only dog park, and a paved, fully accessible 1-mile walking track that encircles much of the perimeter of the park. The process of bringing the park from an ambitious idea to a reality is as important as the amenities available in the park. “Beginning in 2012, more than 200 community members and a Youth Design Team gave their input on how they thought the land where the former Clark Regional Medical Center stood should be used. Community voices were clear in calling for an innovative public park. The park was dubbed “Project 1107” for its address at 1107 W. Lexington Ave.
Public roundtable participants and the Project 1107 Committee created the following guiding principles: • Mentally and Physically Inspiring • Geared Toward Family and Individual Activities • Intergenerational • Educational • Incorporates Public Art • Incorporates Environmentally Friendly Infrastructure • Must Add Cultural and Economic Value to the Community Using these principles, community members discussed and made recommendations about what they wanted to see in the park. Local experts were brought in to begin creating a design concept. They included landscape architect Bill Esarey, architect and designer Melody Farris Jackson, and landscape architecture professor Ned Crankshaw. In 2014, Fred Kent, founder of the Project for Public Spaces (PPS), came to Winchester to speak with community members about creating the new park, including how it will be used and what will be most valuable to the community. Regional firms CARMAN and Dean Builds were selected to design and construct Legacy
Grove. In addition, Learning Landscapes Design, a firm nationally known for its forward-thinking play-area designs, was hired to work with the Youth Design Team to create the two-acre play area. Construction began in Spring 2018 and was completed in 2019. The park was named Legacy Grove. With the park build complete, the non-profit organization Legacy Greenscapes was created to manage and maintain Legacy Grove.” Legacy Grove Park was conceived and built to unite communities in Winchester and to provide a greenspace that is welcoming to all persons. It is more than just a park. It is a step toward building a more equitable and resilient Winchester.

More students and a bigger school? No problem
A new middle school planned for Polo Club Boulevard is now expected to serve more students and be larger than originally planned. The new $40.6 million middle school is set to open in August of 2023. In April, the Fayette County Public School board voted to purchase roughly 47 acres on Polo Club Blvd to build the new middle school along with an elementary school. The property is large enough for both, but work is expected to begin first on a middle school. Originally, the middle school was planned to be 110,521 square feet and serve 900 students. The district 2020 Local Planning Committee recommended that the middle school serve 1,200 students due to the growth trends in Fayette County. This will increase the building square footage to approximately 140,479 square feet.
Interested coaches are invited to attend one of the two training sessions on March 5 from 1 pm to 6 pm, or March 6 from 10 am to 3 pm.

All in the Family
From Hamburg to Hollywood BY KRISTINA ROSEN
M
eet Hamburg’s next movie star. He’s six. More than 1,000 kids auditioned for Little Town, the upcoming movie from writer/director Dani Menkin. Grant Stevens, from Hamburg in Lexington, was chosen to play the lead. Due on the big screen in 2022, Little Town is the road-trip story of a stand up comedian and his son on the way to a ‘Little Town’ in the mountains. To prepare for the audition, the character was described to Grant as “a little boy who was sad because he just lost his Mom.” Grant says, “Once my Mom read the audition out loud, we talked about it. I knew I could be that little boy.” “I loved his audition,” says Menkin, “and my son was with me when I first looked at it, and he also thought Grant was very good,” adding, “The funny story is that they both became best friends.” He says, “Grant is a natural talent with the camera and a joy to work with. Grant always showed up at the ‘money time.’”
T
he Stevens family lives in the Hamburg neighborhood of Blackford Oaks. Margaret Stevens teaches Arts and Humanities—including visual arts, dance, drama, and music—at Crawford Middle School. Dad Chris is a mechanical engineer (currently at work on the Baptist Health Hamburg project).
10 hamburgjournal.com | March 2021
Little sister Emily has also taken an early liking to show business. (Margaret says, “I cannot tell you what it feels like to be teaching and then have an email pop up on your Apple watch that says Ron Howard. One of Em’s first auditions was for Hillbilly Elegy.”) Grant’s acting career launched early on when he started taking creative movement classes at age two. “I think dance is so much more than just physical activity and for younger children it is essential in their balance and gross motor skills to take dance,” Margaret says. “Grant performed for the first time on the Opera House stage at age 3.” But she believes he first caught the acting “bug” in 2018. That Fall, she says, “I got a call asking if Grant would play Toto in Eastern KY University’s Fall Musical: The Wizard of Oz.” Grant pulled off the performance, in tights and a full fur costume, never breaking character, while on stage for two and a half hours. Margaret says, ““His father and I were in awe. We realized then and there that this might be his ‘thing.’” After that experience, they hired an agent and Grant began booking auditions for Nickelodeon, Disney, Comedy Central, and Marvel, which was one of his biggest audition experiences, and even included a non-disclosure agreement (so he
can’t tell us anything about it). Grant auditioned about 15 times before he got his first booking in September of 2019 with Jupiter Entertainment for a role on Oxygen Channel’s show Homicide for the Holidays. The role required Grant to be covered in fake blood, which had his Mom worried that the experience might traumatize him. She admits now, “Instead it was quite the opposite. It ended up traumatizing me and Grant loved it,” adding, “when it was time for the scene, it was surreal for me. To Grant it was all play.” Despite the restrictions imposed by the pandemic, Grant landed three professional bookings in 2020, all within a month, including the lead role in Little Town.
T
his past October when Grant booked the role, Margaret thought she’d have to take a leave of absence from teaching to spend two weeks in L.A., but once she was equipped with the tools to Zoom, she says, “As long as I had my phone, I could have class from anywhere.” She continues, “As most teachers around the world have experienced this year, our job has been re-invented to meet the demands to educate and conduct school during a pandemic.” The day after the two arrived in California, Margaret spent eight hours making and editing all the videos for her dance unit, and uploading the videos and lessons to Canvas. That following morning, she and Grant woke up at 4 am—which is 7 am Kentucky time—to begin the school day. Margaret continued to wake up pre-dawn every morning to teach her students across the country back here in Kentucky. “I taught everyday from 4 am to 8 am. Then Grant was usually due on set. Then I conducted my office
hours and parent contacts from 10 am to 1 pm on set.” Her students followed along on set virtually, behind the scenes of filming a movie. (Amid virtual teaching and a hectic filming schedule, Margaret also pulled off the first ever virtual dance showcase at Crawford in December with help from Diana Evans School of Dance.) Grant also juggled online school in the midst of a busy film schedule. “I think my Mom always set the alarm clock for 4 am. When I woke up, my Mom made me get on Zoom with my teacher Mrs. Simpson for the morning meeting. It was good to see my friends.” At six, of course Grant runs across issues that might not face every actor. He says, “I was running some lines and eating a graham cracker and I lost my first tooth. My second bottom tooth fell out a few days later. So I lost both my center bottom teeth in California,” adding, “Whoops! I am 6!” At the end of the day, filming is work. “Sometimes we had to do the scene again and again, and again, and again,” he admits. “It is a lot of hard work, but it
is a lot of fun. A lot of fun!” With the hard work comes some play. His favorite part of filming is the action scenes, “I love the running scenes. We did a lot of hiking!” And what boy doesn’t love toys? “The film crew had a truck full of so many cameras. One of the cameras they could rig to a car. Some of our set was driving around in this really cool car.” A kid after our own heart, he adds, “Oh and I also like the eating scenes!”
“I
think Grant not only has a great future, more importantly he has a present,” says Menkin. “The camera loves him, and I can’t wait to see more of him, and I am excited for the audience to see his first feature film with our Little Town.” Grant has had two auditions thus far in 2021. As for what the future holds for his acting career, ever the student, he says, “I am sure I will take some more acting classes someday.”
