Build ing in style Rachel Brown Homes combines contemporary, tradition on Sturdivant Street

Madison Living 5

contemporary home for today’s lifestyles meets the stylish grace of past generations in the new construction by Rachel Brown Homes at 126 Sturdivant Street in Madison. “Living in downtown Madison is the epitome of Southern living,” builder Rachel Brown said. “You are

close to the history, the downtown shops and restaurants and the best schools. There is no better place to raise a family than the serene safe sidewalks of Mill Road and Sturdivant Street.” Although a new home, “the residence fits into the historic district in so many lovely ways,” Brown said.

“This beautiful home features both front and rear double-decker porches, Craftsman style lap siding, traditional oil-rubbed bronze exterior lighting and a truly eye-catching copper mailbox.” The house has 3,189 square feet of heated and cooled living space and includes five bedrooms and

3.5 baths. “The balconies and decks are perfect to enjoy the historic Old Madison Cemetery in the rear and Madison parades in the front. Both have slate tile to sit and sip sweet tea on,” Brown said. One example of maximizing space to satisfy a customer’s desires is a built-in wine rack. “It’s located at the rear of the stairs where traditionally a coat closet would be located. We added lighting and a glass door,” Brown said. Both functional and attractive, the wine rack pleased the owners, “who had excellent ideas about both design and functionality of their masterpiece home.” Madison Flooring and Paint installed the shower, which features luxurious “Marrakesh” tile. “The tile pairs very well with the copper plumbing fixtures,” Brown said. “The entire home features not only all copper plumbing fixtures but copper lighting features, copper cabinet handles and copper mirrors.” Brown describes the sleek kitchen as “very clean.” All white cabinets and an “Arabesque” white tile backsplash add to the sophisticated look and are a perfect backdrop for the dramatic copper vent hood and copper Moroccan-influenced light fixtures over the kitchen island. In addition, the kitchen offers the perfect storage solution. “The dead space under the stairs is open for use and can easily be disguised by the sliding barn door that matches the floors,” Brown said.

Rachel Brown Homes used birch hardwood flooring throughout this house. “I used Jason Britt with crown moldings to incorporate very special touches with the homeowner’s design tastes in mind,” she said. “Examples of customized touches are beadboard risers on the stairs, a bead-board focal point on the ceiling of the dining room and elegant built-ins in the master closet.”

Hawaiian feast Angie Enderton shares recipes for island cuisine

10 Madison Living

KALUA PIG 8-10 lb. bone-in pork butt 1/4 cup Hawaiian Salt (you can use sea salt) 3 Tbsp. liquid smoke 1/4 cup water Rub salt all over pork butt. Add and massage in liquid smoke all over pork butt. Place pork into a slow cooker and add 1/4 cup water. Slow cook on low for 8-10 hours. Using two forks, pull apart the meat. Enjoy. Best served with rice. If you do not have a slow cooker, you can cook this in the oven at about 250 degrees for 8-10 hours.

In Hawaii, May Day is Lei Day. So, we celebrate by making and wearing leis and, of course, eating “onolicious” (delicious) food. Here I have for you some of our local favorites: Kalua Pig, which is Hawaiian-style pulled pork; Chicken Long Rice, which is clear noodles with chicken; and Lomi Lomi Salmon, or salmon ceviche.

Angie Enderton is guest cook for this issue of “Madison Living.” She and husband Chris have one son, Kai, and one daughter, Moana. A U.S. military veteran, Angie is a former president of West Madison Elementary School PTA and often volunteers at school.

CHICKEN LONG RICE 4 cups water 4 cups chicken broth 2 chicken breasts (or thighs, whichever you prefer) Ginger (about 3-4 inches, sliced and smacked or grated, but include the ginger juice) Green bean ve,rmicelli bean thread 4 stalks green onion, chopped Salt and pepper to taste In a stock pot, bring water, chicken broth and ginger to a boil. Add chicken and return to a boil, then turn heat on low and let it simmer for a good 30-45 minutes. Remove cooked chicken, shred and put it back in the pot. Taste the liquid; it should be “chicken” and “gingery.” At this time, add the salt and pepper to taste and bring it to a boil.

LOMI LOMI SALMON 4 medium tomatoes, diced 1 medium onion, diced 4 oz. smoked salmon, chopped 3 stalks green onion, chopped Salt (preferably Hawaiian Salt or sea salt) In a mixing bowl, mix first four ingredients together. Sprinkle salt. Not too much since the salmon can be salty. Madison Living 11

Teddy Powell, who represents District 3 on Madison City Council, and Mayor Paul Finley listen to a resident’s comments during a City Council meeting.

SEEING THE POSSIBILITIES Powell recognizes District 3’s historic and commercial potential

eddy Powell, who serves District 3 on Madison City Council, entered the political arena in 2016 with a sense of gratitude and investment in the future. “Madison has given me so much to me and my family,” Powell said about his decision to run for office. “From the great education my kids have received from our Madison City Schools, to police and fire departments when we’ve needed them, to public works that maintain exponential growth of our infrastructure. “To whom much is given, much is asked in return,” he said. Anyone taking public office has “selfish” reasons, Powell said. For him, “as Madison becomes an even greater city, my kids might return after college to obtain jobs, be a part of this growing community and help us go even further as a city.” Powell said he hopes the council will “restore leadership and communication in our city that is reflective of its people and continue to make progressive steps towards strategic, long-term growth. I’m confident we are on a positive track.” 12 Madison Living

Powell stated the following as major needs for Madison, particularly District 3: • Support of Town Madison – To generate much-needed economic development for Madison and its vicinity. • Development of Highway 20 Corridor – District 3 has “untapped potential along Highway 20 (Madison Boulevard), representing some of the highest development potential in or around Madison. Leveraging revitalization as part of our revenue portfolio, along with long-term development, could yield greater returns,” Powell said. “A triad for positive development” for the corridor will involve strengthening aging retail/office space; interconnecting recreational/open space; and securing a “higher-performing hotel and conference space,” he added. • Preserving city history – Madison’s only historic district is located in District 3. In addition, “we will maintain our great school district and educational opportunities as we select a new member to Madison

Board of Education,” Powell said about the school board’s current opening. While working full time and raising a family, Powell earned a bachelor’s degree in business administration and finance from Birmingham Southern College and a master’s degree in business administration from the University of Alabama in Huntsville. He and wife Rikki moved to Madison from Huntsville in 2005. “I’m originally from Birmingham but met my wife here and decided to stay,” Powell said. During his career, Powell has worked in various industries: homebuilding, construction and even coal mines. “I’ve been a business owner and have grown, developed and successfully sold those businesses,” he said. In addition, he has worked as a municipal revenue officer and understands “the importance of their roles and demands placed on them. I currently work for Department of Defense as a budget analyst and am certified in both business financial management and program management,” Powell said. Rikki works for Missile Defense Agency. The Powells’ three children range in age from 16-19 years. They attend Madison City Schools and Calhoun Community College. Teddy is a member of the Alabama Builders Association. The Powells attend Madison United Methodist Church. In special interests, he enjoys renovating historic homes and buildings and preserving history.

Teddy Powell believes Madison Boulevard in District 3 has untapped potential for retail development.

Festival of the Arts entertains, educates and fascinates 14 Madison Living

WRITTEN BY GREGG L. PARKER PHOTOGRAPHS BY JEN FOUTS-DETULLEO

tudents of the fine arts in visual art, vocal music and instrumental music will captivate the senses at the annual Festival of the Arts in and around Zompa Auditorium at Bob Jones High School May 11. When viewing and hearing the exhibits and performances, many guests will likely ask themselves, “Can you believe a teenager could create something so beautiful?” The Festival of the Arts has been a spring tradition at Bob Jones for many years, art teacher and event coordinator Robin Lakso said. Lakso’s and art teacher Jenny Norton’s students will present their art designs. “The festival is meant to advocate for ‘the Arts’ in the City of Madison. Art and music from elementary, middle and high schools are featured. The show is meant to highlight the talent and learning in the Arts in Madison City Schools,” Lakso said. May 11, elementary and middle school art will be displayed in the upper commons area at Bob Jones. High school art will be staged in the lower commons. Starting at 4 p.m., elementary chorus students will sing in the cafeteria area. At approximately 6:15 p.m., middle and high school musicians will perform in Zompa Auditorium. The Bob Jones Indoor Drumline will grab everyone’s attention about 6 p.m. in the gym. Times are tentative and might change closer to the festival’s date. “All current Bob Jones art students will have art featured in the show,” Lakso said. “Advanced and Advanced-Placement Art students will have the opportunity to show pieces from their portfolio series that they have been working on all year long. “The Bob Jones artists never disappoint,” Lasko added. “Be on the lookout for graphite and charcoal drawings, brilliant pastel works, paintings and even a bathroom sink. Many students have won local, district, state and regional awards. Their work will be labeled.” At the festival, the lobby and hallways around the auditorium and gym are packed with parents, grandparents and classmates of the fine arts students – literally a standing-room-only crowd. “The show is well attended because so many Madison City Schools students participate. Family and friends are invited to come out and share the art and music that fine arts students have been dedicated to all school year,” Lakso said.

Other teachers in fine arts at Bob Jones are chorus director Randall Fields, band director Leigh Thomas and assistant band director Kevin Smart. Fine arts teachers also include Discovery Middle School art reacher Raquel Spiegel; Discovery band director Jenny Merritt; elementary art teachers Sage Murine, Cathy Newby and Noel Newquist; and elementary music teachers Audra Loftin, Kristy Newsome and Tracy Stewart. The 2017 Festival of the Arts will be the last spring show with art from Raquel Spiegel, who is retiring from Discovery. “Raquel has been teaching for more than 35 years,” Lakso said. Just as students are fulfilled by publicly exhibiting their work, teachers feel validated for their dedicated work in class. “Student art is meant to be seen and shared. The community can experience why the Arts are so vital to developing the whole student,” Lakso said. Many of Madison’s fine art students have ACT scores above 30, earned distinction as National Merit Semi-Finalists and enroll in AP courses. “Since colleges are looking for wellrounded students, the Arts are essential in their high school experiences,” Lakso said. Festival of the Arts will open at 4 p.m. Bob Jones PTSA will conduct a brief PTSA meeting in the auditorium between performances. The evening will conclude after performances by Discovery and Bob Jones bands in Zompa Auditorium. 16 Madison Living

Be wary of prediabetes as summer season approaches

YMCA

STORY AND PHOTOS BY HEART OF THE VALLEY YMCA

ummer is coming, and many of us look forward to enjoying delicious backyard barbecues. If not taken in moderation, however, fatty foods and sugary drinks can be big contributors to an unhealthy lifestyle that can lead to obesity. The nation’s struggle with obesity and Type 2 diabetes is no surprise, but the number of people with prediabetes is a growing issue, especially when so few people realize they have the condition. Prediabetes is a condition in which individuals have blood glucose levels that are higher than normal but not high enough to be classified as diabetes. People with prediabetes can reduce their risk for developing Type 2 diabetes, as well as cardiovascular disease and stroke, by adopting behavior changes that include eating healthier and increasing physical activity.

Hogan Family YMCA encourages all adults to take a diabetes risk test at www.ymca.net/diabetes. Some basic lifestyle changes that contribute to weight loss and an increased focus on healthy living are: • Reduce portion sizes of the foods you eat that might be high in fat or calories. • Keep a food diary to increase awareness of eating patterns and behaviors. • Be moderately active at least 30 minutes per day five days a week. • Choose water to drink instead of beverages with added sugar. • Incorporate more activity in your day. • Speak to your doctor about your dia-

betes risk factors, especially if you have a family history of the disease or are overweight. To incorporate healthy exercise and better nutrition into your lifestyle, call Hogan Family YMCA at 256-705-9622.

adison’s segment of the SPACES Sculpture Trail now has new art. In 2012 the Madison Arts Council, City of Madison and The Arts Council in Huntsville collaborated to expand the trail into Madison. Creations were produced by artists from across the nation; each eye-catching piece is described following. “Sunset,” Dublin Park, 8324 Old Madison Pike At the entrance to Dublin Park, the dynamic piece “Sunset” by Gus Ocamposilva depicts sea gulls preparing to nest after a sunny day of beachcombing. Dimensions for “Sunset” are 7 feet tall, by 10 feet wide, by 1 foot/10 inches in depth. A resident of Clearwater, Fla., Ocamposilva believes people “see the world in countless colors, diverse and vibrant, and this is apparent in our creations. Artistically, we’re able to fuse contemporary and realistic elements in our sculptures, and we’re always inspired by nature and the human forms.” Ocamposilva’s sculptures are made of strong aluminum but in soft and fluid lines. His work in steel and enamels incorporates tubes and exposed bolts.

Madison’s SPACES adds new sculptures “@.com,” Dublin Park building entrance, 8324 Old Madison Pike This bright yellow sculpture named “@.com” was designed by artist Dave Vande Vusse of Manistee, Mich. The piece measures 5 feet/10 inches; by 4 feet/9 inches; by 2 feet. Vusse said he feels sculpture should brighten people’s lives. “A good sculpture is one that brings a smile to a person’s face when they first look at it. Any sculpture that requires an explanation falls into the same category as a joke that also requires an explanation,” Vusse said. “Around the Gate,” Madison Municipal Complex (City Hall), 100 Hughes Road Artist Ray Katz of Pontiac, Mich., designed “Around the Gate.” The sculpture was created in painted steel; its dimensions are 12 feet, by 3 feet, by 7 feet. “I’ve worked in many mediums, but metal remains my passion,” Katz said. “Metal is best suited for my work because of its strength, malleability and inherent beauty.” He combines geometric and organic elements to create compositions that convey implied energy.

“A Carpenters Dream,” 204 Main Street At the east end of Main Street, “A Carpenters Dream” by artist Kevin Vanek of Montrose, Colo., is now permanently owned by the City of Madison. The larger-than-life construction is 10 feet/8 inches; 4 feet tall; and 1 foot/4 inches deep. Many Madison residents interpret “A Carpenters Dream” as symbolic of Madison’s ever-growing boundaries and buildings. Vanek said this piece deals “with the plight of the modern American laborer. He uses traditional sculpture processes that have been adapted from industrial practices, often overlooked by the art world.” “Connectarc,” near 101 Main Street Just west of Main Street Cafe, “Connectarc” was designed by Carl Billingsley of Greensboro, N.C.

The simple lines are composed of oiled steel, and the work measures 10 feet, by 2.5 feet, by 2 feet. In his abstracts, Billingsley might receive inspiration from the human form, architecture, landscape, pure geometry or dynamics of color. “The sculptures … often present an aspect of instability, as though they are ‘leaning over,’ perhaps about to fall, even though they are extremely stable and safe,” he said. “Twin Souls,” across from 106 Main Street “Dynamic and exciting, our artwork speaks of colors, magic and poetry,” artist Gus Ocamposilva of Clearwater, Fla., said about “Twin Souls,” created in aluminum and enamels. “We see the world in countless colors, diverse and vibrant, and this is apparent in our creations,” Ocamposilva added, about working with wife Lina. “We believe colors are so important – especially in environments that

The sculpture of oiled steel measures 8 feet, by 4 feet, by 4 feet. “My current work is equally divided between large scale fabricated metal sculptures for public sites and smaller scale cast metal

sculptures for more intimate spaces,” Billingsley said. Translated from German, a “doppelganger” is an almost identical copy of a living person, often considered an evil twin. “Prism Arc VII,” Madison Elementary School, 100 College Street Carl Billingsley donated “Prism Arc VII” to Madison City Schools for permanent installation at Madison Elementary School in the campus courtyard. “Metal castings, direct carving in stone, welding steel – all have a nature of action, which must be respected,” Billingsley said.

Madison family takes outreach trip to Micronesia WRITTEN BY JULIANE POIRIER PHOTOGRAPHS CONTRIBUTED

he Lynn familyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s recent journey to an isolated Pacific island was not precisely what one would call a vacation. Dr. W. Scott Lynn is a Madison radiologist who, for the past 28 years, has served also as a U.S. Army Reservist. With his wife Virginia and four of their six children, Lynn went to the Marshall Islands as part of a medical specialty team organized by Canvasback Missions, a nonprofit headquartered in Benicia, California. Canvasback has been sending supplies and volunteer medical specialty teams to Micronesia for more than 35 years. 30 Madison Living

During the week of Feb. 13-17, Lynn volunteered as a radiologist while daughters Emma, 18, and Eleanor, 13, helped the front office volunteers in an intensive gynecology clinic. “It was a lot of hard work,” Lynn said of his two daughters’ volunteer experience, “but they loved it.” The Canvasback medical team provided gynecological services on Majuro, capitol of the remote Republic of the Marshall Islands (RMI) where many of the 350 patients seen during the two-week clinic had never received a gynecological exam before. An extraordinarily high number of women there suffer from cervical cancer, which in the U.S. is regarded as a preventable disease. According to Lynn, the Canvasback medical team worked not only to address the urgent health needs of the patients but also to advance the training of the Marshallese health workers. Under these conditions, Lynn’s clinic work was very demanding. However, the radiologist had a number of reasons for bringing his family along on this mission. Twice during his own childhood Lynn himself lived in Micronesia. “My dad was in the Army,” said Lynn. “And so we lived in the Marshall Islands in 1968-1969 and on the Army base on the Kwajalein Atoll in 19821984.” The islands and atolls of these remote waters— just north of the equator, where fewer than 100 square miles of habitable land is scattered over 750,000 miles of ocean—were Lynn’s stomping grounds during his high school years. But his early connection to Micronesia takes second place to an even stronger connection his own family now has with the Marshall Islands. It is home to the birth parents of his two adopted Marshallese children, a girl and boy. While 10-year-old William had previously visited his birth family in the Marshall Islands, the boy’s younger sister was meeting her biological mother and father for the first time. “Kara is only 4,” explained Lynn. “So when she met her birth mother, I don’t think she knew who she was. Kara just enjoyed playing with other kids. It wasn’t awkward or anything like that. Back at home, we talk about the Marshall Islands all the time, so this was kind of a natural thing.”

“My Christian worldview gives me a providential perspective. I always enjoy going to the Marshall Islands, and I like how the people are so warm and giving. ” — Dr. W. Scott Lynn

An additional motive prompting Lynn to bring most of his family to this remote region was his strong belief in sharing freely with others the gifts one has been given. “My Christian worldview,” Lynn said, “gives me a providential perspective. I always enjoy going to the Marshall Islands, and I like how the people are so warm and giving. Some of it is a general attitude of being open-handed, which we teach our children.

“We tell our children, ‘Just be the best you that you can be,’” Lynn added. “We want them to do their best at whatever God has equipped them to do.” When asked to describe the best thing that happened on the trip, Lynn said, “My family got to know Dalan.” Dalan Jennet is a 16-year-old Marshallese boy who, as a young child, suffered electrical burns so severe that his nose and several toes were burned from his body. Through efforts by Canvasback Missions, Dalan received reconstructive surgeries at Mt. Sanai in New York—over 40 hours of plastic surgery, donated by the hospital. Lynn met Dalan last year, when volunteering for Canvasback in the Marshall Islands. “I’ve told my family about Dalan,” said Lynn. “That little guy has been through tremendous difficulty with a number of things. So my family getting to know him was the best thing, a chance to rally around him and see the bright spirit within him.” Lynn said he found it rewarding to see his own children be open-handed with Dalan while they were all in the Islands. After the mission was completed, Dalan had another facial surgery in New York then stayed two weeks in Madison with the Lynn family before returning to Micronesia.
