NEIGHBORHOOD NEWS&NOTES A New Place to Shine Shine Pilates Studio, a new pilates studio offering a variety of private, duet and group classes, has opened at 607 Euclid Ave. Visit www.shinepilatesstudio.com for more information.

Nate’s Coffee Relocating The Lexington-based small-batch coffee roaster Nate’s Coffee is moving in early April from the National Avenue location it shared with La Petite Delicat for just under a year. “We loved the National Avenue and Kenwick neighborhood and are sad to leave it,” said owner Nathan Polly. The business hopes to reopen in a new location downtown this summer, which Polly said will feature a full espresso bar and drip coffee, as well as a slow bar with pour-overs, French Press, Aeropress and more. Customers can still find Nate’s Coffee in many area locations, including at Good Foods Co-op and most Liquor Barns. The business also offers free coffee delivery in town. La Petite Delicat will continue to serve coffee and espresso at its National Avenue location.

Changes Afoot in Woodland Triangle Vintage boutique Fox House Vintage has closed in order for owner Lauralee Estill to focus on her new position as event coordinator at Blue Grass Stockyard and Marketplace, a business her family has owned for four generations. The space will be taken over by Melanie Williams, owner of the neighboring boutique Black Market, for a new retail concept called Story, which Williams hopes to open in May or June. Story will offer a variety of home goods and gift items, including rugs, plants and planters, lamps, frames, candles, artwork, small furniture and stylish baby clothes, many with a contemporary Danish flair.

DISCOVER YOUR BRILLIANCE WITH PIL ATES.

On the other side of the Woodland Triangle, a new women’s boutique, Chandler Reese, opened in February at 195 Kentucky Ave., in the space formerly occupied by Commotion! Consignment Riding Apparel, which relocated to Midway. The shop features clothing and accessories and a selection of Kentucky- and Lexington-themed home decor and gift items. And finally, pBardo Art Gallery officially closed following the March 16 Gallery Hop due to owner Pat Bardo’s retirement.

In just a few short Chevy Chase Business District blocks, the increasingly diverse lineup of culinary offerings ranges from Greek, French, Mexican, Cajun, eastern Mediterranean and Japanese, to pizza, a gastro-pub, a wine bar, farm-to-table fine dining and more. And this month, local diners can add “fast casual Indian” food to their neighborhood options. Tandoor Express, an offshoot of the popular Mapeleaf Drive restaurant Tandoor Fine Indian Cuisine, is scheduled to open in early April at 630 E. Euclid Ave. at the location formerly occupied by Uncle Maddio’s Pizza. It won’t offer an “all you can eat” buffet, said proprietor Palwinder Singh, but will instead follow a “fast casual” model, with counter service and a variety of ready-made Northen Indian dishes. The location will be open seven days a week for lunch and dinner. It will feature a full bar, and outdoor seating during warm weather months. cc

Proudly Offering Lexington’s Finest Homes

The active family of four, which includes a teenage lacrosse player and a middle-schooler who loves to sew, paint and bake, takes advantage of the accessible land with their two Golden Doodles, Palmer and Charlie. Another important member of the family is their cat, Mini – and the family’s recent renovation of the kitchen, bathrooms and basement was planned with children, adults and pets alike in mind.

4379 BRYAN STATION RD.

ocated on a quiet street in the Beaumont Farms neighborhood is a Lexington family’s peaceful suburban oasis, recently renovated to keep pace with maturing children and a small but energetic menagerie of pets. The home nestles up to the the Preserve at Beaumont Park – a 23-acre urban forest filled with wild turkeys, red fox and, even, a coyote. The acreage behind the house was a big selling point for the owners when they purchased the home in 2006.

While the owners have always loved their Beaumont home, they eventually found the kitchen and bathrooms didn’t meet the needs of a family with growing children. Looking to make updates in some key areas of the home, they sought out the talents of Krisia Rosa, one of the principals of Lexington architecture firm Pohl Rosa Pohl, a firm known for blending a modern aesthetic with existing traditional elements. (The firm had remodeled a friend’s home, and they loved the results.)

“The family wanted to cook together, but the kitchen lacked a functional flow,” says Rosa. A large new island topped with a Caesarstone quartz countertop creates a central gathering space and an additional food preparation area, adding to the overall functionality of the kitchen. Contractor Jim Smith of Showplace Home custom-built new walnut cabinets to replace the original cabinetry, giving the room a cleaner, more streamlined look. Textured Porcelanosa tile above the quartz countertop and new six-burner stovetop provide a visual break from the rest of the kitchen’s straight, modern lines. To add space for both storage and seating, the room was expanded to include a pantry and modest dining area – a more casual place for meals than the formal dining room.

In consideration of both children and pets, the kitchen renovation included the addition of a storage area for coats, shoes and backpacks, as well as a pet station that houses Palmer and Charlie’s food and water bowls and provides a place for treats and supplies. Not to be left out, cat Mini now has her own cat-sized entrance to the pantry, where her food is kept away from the dogs’ reach when the pantry door is closed. To accommodate the additional space, contractors replaced a small deck attached to the kitchen with a new one that includes access from both the kitchen and the living room. “The original deck was the same size but was built in such a way that there wasn’t space for seating. Krisia arranged the same amount of space so that we can now comfortably use the deck,” says the homeowner, who asked to remain anonymous. On the second floor, the spacious master bathroom shared a wall with a second bathroom that was too small for the family’s son and daughter. “They share that bathroom, and it needed to be expanded to fit a second sink so that they’d each have their own space,” explained the homeowner. A redesign of the two bathrooms gave away some square footage in the master but updated it at the same time to use the remaining area more efficiently. A deep Europeanstyle tub from Ferguson Bath, Kitchen and Lighting Gallery replaced the original garden tub, and a larger enclosure replaced the cramped shower, which is not only pleasing to the human occupants but is also a hit with the dogs, who shower there, as well. A skylight installed above the bathtub provides natural light, making it one of the homeowners’ favorite features. To maximize storage space, unobtrusive but functional shelving in the same walnut as the kitchen cabinets was added around the room.

Upstairs, two bathrooms that shared a wall were reconfigured and remodeled completely. The master bathroom (pictured in the top photo and lower right) features Porcelanosa tile on the wall, a deep European-style tub and a larger shower enclosure, with a skylight allowing ample natural light. The remodel on the bathroom shared by the family’s two children (lower left) replaced the original tub with a deep Japanese soaking tub and added an additional sink.

The children’s bathroom gained space for a second sink. The original tub was replaced with a shower enclosure and a Japanese soaking tub, which is shorter but much deeper than the standard American bathtub.

addition of a crafting space for the family’s daughter, as well as a bathroom, which the basement lacked.

The second phase of the renovation focused on the basement. While the basement was already finished, it consisted primarily of a storage area and lacked a functional communal space or layout. Reconfiguring the placement of some walls allowed for the

“The family wanted a heavy-duty sink for washing paintbrushes and cleaning sports equipment,” says Rosa, explaining the bathroom’s industrial sink. The kitchen addition also expanded the

basement, allowing the family to add a mudroom immediately inside the entrance from the garage that provides a needed repository for sports paraphernalia. A storage room directly across from the new mudroom provides an out-of-sight location for infrequently needed items, and the Homasote wall and sliding door, made of recycled compressed paper similar to papier mache, acts as a bulletin board.

The basement remodel allowed for a new mud room and plenty of space to accommodate the instruments, crafting and sports equipment for the family’s middle- and high-school children.

Replacing the former wall-to-wall carpeting with new cork flooring makes the basement more functional for a variety of activities as well as easier to clean, and the pool table and large television make it a popular gathering place for the children and their friends.

As with the rest of the renovation, the basement renovation took into consideration the family pets’ needs as well as everyone else’s. Knowing that Minnie occasionally needs an escape from Palmer and Charlie, the basement incorporates a “cat highway” giving literal meaning to the phrase “catwalk”: a series of shelves that lead to a walkway near the ceiling, inaccessible to the dogs. Tiny doors along the stairs provide direct access to the walkway, or Minnie can climb the shelves to reach her private spot. “Our daughter used treats to quickly train Minnie to use the cat highway – she took to it right away,” said the homeowner. The homeowners are thrilled with the renovations. The whole family uses the kitchen and basement more, and the children are more comfortable in their bathroom. All of the remodeled rooms feel more functional and, at the same time, more welcoming.

While the exact lineup tends to shift a bit from day to day, the cast of characters remains largely the same at the Wheeler Plarmacy Fountain breakfast counter, where regulars gather every morning to talk sports, politics and more.

t the 1950s-era Fountain at Wheeler Pharmacy on Romany Road, where a close-knit group of regulars convene most mornings for a cup of coffee and a hot breakfast, one topic reigns supreme. “UK [University of Kentucky] sports is the No. 1 topic,” said Wheeler regular Joe Gentry, who figures he’s been doing his part to liven up conversation around the U-shaped Formica counter for the better part of 30 years. “During football season, we’re talking about football. And during basketball season, we’re talking basketball,” Gentry continued.

“When it’s off season, we’re talking about how we’ll be better next year.” Thanks to its status as a favorite hangout of UK coaches – especially longtime regular Joe B. Hall – Wheeler’s is practically hallowed ground for Big Blue Nation. ESPN even filmed Coach John Calipari having breakfast there in 2012. Lonny Demaree, an IBM retiree and Wheeler regular for nearly 20 years, is among those who have found the hidden gem to be a great insider source for UK sports info – in fact, he sometimes uses info and observations gleaned from conversations at Wheeler’s as a

boon to his second career as a writer for Kentucky Sports Report, where he is known by many as “the mayor of Kentucky football.” Demaree isn’t the only “mayor” around Wheeler’s counter, however – Jim Mayberry is known among his Wheeler Fountain buddies as “the unofficial mayor of the Village of Romany,” and they even presented him with a custom-made hat to prove it. Mayberry has lived on Romany Road for much of his life, recently moving to an apartment complex across the parking lot from Wheeler’s. Now legally blind, he still estimates that he makes his way to his favorite breakfast joint about six days a week.

“I can see well enough to get here,” he said with a chuckle. Other common topics among the breakfast counter range from politics to pinpointing grammar mistakes in the daily newspaper. During heated political seasons, patrons sometimes lightheartedly abandon their regular seats to position Democrats on one side of the counter and Republicans on the other – but most days you’ll find the motley crew intermingled, despite their opposing views or other differences in their daily lives. “Sometimes we disagree on stuff just for the sake of a good discussion,” said longtime regular Guy Adams.

The Fountain has been a vital part of the “everyone’s welcome here” vibe that has helped make Wheeler Pharmacy a Chevy Chase touchstone for six decades. William “Buddy” Wheeler opened the pharmacy in January 1958, as a 23-year-old with a newly minted UK College of Pharmacy degree in hand. His was one of the first businesses established on Romany Road – in fact, at the time he opened the business, he found himself fielding questions about why he decided to build a drug store “so far out of town.”

Haley Poston (left) helped fill prescriptions at Wheeler Pharmacy. Poston, 24, from London, Kentucky, and a student at the University of Kentucky College of Pharmacy, was nearing the end of her six-week internship at the pharmacy.

He laughs about that memory now. Six decades later, business is still going strong, and Wheeler, who just turned 84, still pops in to the pharmacy for a few hours almost daily. “They call me the vice president of special tasks now,” Wheeler said recently, referring to his kids, who have taken over the business’s day-to-day operations. (Adams calls the Wheelers the “first family of Chevy Chase.”) The business is family-run in the most literal sense, with Wheeler’s four children each having his or her own designated role to oversee: Oldest son, Kendall, who retired from IBM, now helps with project management and IT; son Stuart is the store and Fountain manager; daughter Margaret is a CPA who handles the accounting; and daughter Claire, herself a pharmacist, manages the pharmacy operation and also owns and runs her own business, Wheeler’s Custom Compounding, across the street. Kendall’s wife, Tammy, is the pharmacy’s bookkeeper, and all nine of Wheeler’s grandchildren have worked in the store.

The job specialization has been one key to the business’s success. “Having defined roles is why it works,” said Stuart Wheeler. Claire Wheeler Love agreed: “I wouldn’t say we’ve never stepped on each other’s toes – that’s going to happen from time to time,” Love said. “But at the end of the day we know that while this is business, we’re family first.” And when Love talks about being family first, she’s talking not just about her blood relatives, but rather the larger Wheeler Pharmacy family. Many employees have been with the business for decades. Wheeler regulars know they’ll most likely be greeted by Brenda Brown’s bright beaming smile behind the Wheeler storefront counter. They know when they take their seats at the Fountain, it’s Ricky Camp, Lee Tolliver or Sha’Kara “Shaq” Hardin who’ll greet them, oftentimes without even needing to ask their order, since they’ve got it memorized. They know that longtime pharmacist Wayne Bryant – who still works part-time, though he officially retired last year after 45 years with Wheeler’s – might be the one filling their prescription, while asking what their kids are up to. “One of our customers said once that Wheeler’s is like Cheers without the beers,” Stuart Wheeler said. “Everybody knows everybody here.” It’s that intimate connection with the people they serve that sets Wheeler’s apart from corner chain pharmacies, said Love. “Our family and our staff tend to live in this area. They go to church nearby. Their kids go to school here and play ball at Ecton Park,” she said. “When customers come in, we know them not just from Wheeler’s but from all these other walks of life as well.” Serving the Community Over the years, Wheeler’s business model has evolved and expanded to best meet the needs of its customers.

“I am just always thinking ahead, trying to see what’s coming down the road,” Buddy Wheeler said recently, reflecting on six decades of business ownership.

Claire Wheeler Love, daughter of Buddy Wheeler, who founded the iconic neighborhood pharmacy 60 years ago, owns and manages her own business across the street. Called Wheeler’s Custom Compounding, it makes customized medications. Love also helps oversee the pharmacy at Wheeler’s.

It was that mentality that led him to add a compounding service to the pharmacy in the late 1990s – which Love now owns and operates as a separate entity – and in the mid-2000s, to establish a medication management program called Wheeler’s Home Connection, which provides individualized medication counseling and prescription home delivery for enrollees, most of them homebound seniors. More recently, the pharmacy responded to the loss of the nearby Romany Road Kroger by adding a milk refrigerator and expanding its grocery inventory to help provide needed staples for area residents. Wheeler’s Custom Compounding, owned by Love since 2012, is in the final stages of an expansion that has more than doubled its size, just across Romany Road from the original Wheeler Pharmacy. When the renovation is complete, the compounding pharmacy will include two dedicated labs, as well as a full line of products available to walk-in customers, including pharmaceutical-grade vitamins and supplements, hemp and CBD oil products, essential oils and skin care and veterinary products. Among these products are many small lines created locally – such as DappleUp, an all-natural dog/horse shampoo developed by Stuart’s daughter Katherine Wheeler, and Focal Force, a pre-workout supplement created by former resident pharmacist Alex Brewer. Plans to launch a series of educational health workshops for the public are in the works as well. It’s the latest iteration in the family’s long-term goal of providing an array of services that help make life in Chevy Chase as ideal – and idyllic – as it can be. “Dad found that as a solo entrepreneur all those years, no one was holding him back. There wasn’t corporate red tape to deal with,” Love said. “If he wanted to make a change, he just did it.” Those personal touches have created a unique and authentic local ambiance that can be hard to attain – and one that has kept its regulars loyal and consistent for more than 60 years. Daily breakfast patron Pamela Wainscott pinpointed what keeps folks coming back. “There’s no other place like it in town,” she said. “It’s nice people and good food. What more could you ask for?” cc

Golden Year

At its 50th anniversary, Lexington’s Living Arts and Science Center celebrates new opportunities — and confronts creeping challenges

STORY BY JONATHAN GOOLSBY PHOTOS BY HATTIE QUIK AND BILL STRAUS

anya Finley’s daughter, Jade, is a 17-year-old high school senior. Next year, she’ll attend Eastern Kentucky University, becoming the first member of her family to matriculate. She hopes to study art therapy.

Thirteen years ago, college seemed like a long shot. Jade, you see, is autistic. “She had very little language at all,” remembered her mother, a 30-year assembly line veteran at the pneumatic component manufacturer Aventics. That changed once Jade began participating in discovery programs at Lexington’s Living Arts and Science Center (LASC), an interac-

tive museum and gallery space that provides a unique blend of science and art education to the Commonwealth’s schoolchildren.

thinking and problem-solving,” she proffered. “Those same skills are found in art. That’s what we like to cultivate here.”

Jade became more curious about the world around her, her mother recalled. Her communication and social skills rapidly improved. She manifested a talent for art.

Jeffrey Nichols, a ceramicist who has served as the LASC’s gallery director for the past seven years, agreed.

“[Jade] always loved the ceramic classes, the pottery classes and the painting classes — anything that incorporated art and science,” said Finley. “I remember her saying that she’d found a place that she really liked. “I saw changes in her from the first time she took a class down there,” Finley continued. “You never know when you’ll find a little surprise niche that was hidden.” Promoting self-discovery is at the core of LASC’s work, said marketing director Kristin Voskuhl. “In science, you have to use a lot of creative

“When you look at scientific theory and art theory, they’re [often] the same,” he testified. “We think of art as just free play, but this is another language. It’s a visual language.” “It makes a positive difference in any person’s life when they’re given that opportunity to explore, to imagine, to create, to solve problems, to do something differently,” said LASC executive director Heather Lyons. “People sometimes think of art as optional, that it’s maybe only for kids who show promise,” she added. “We often hear parents say, ‘Oh, he’s not very artistic.’ But creativity is something that is learned through doing.”

50 Years of Filling the STEAM Gap ... and More “Learned through doing” is a consistent refrain in the historic George Kinkead mansion, home to the LASC since the 1970s. The center was first organized in 1968 by a group of mothers concerned that funding cuts to the public schools were jeopardizing children’s access to quality science, technology, engineering, arts and mathematics (STEAM) education. One of its early champions was the late Marion “Shug” Graves, who served as president of its board. Her eldest son, Gregory Pettit, serves on the center’s current board. “My mother was passionate about the right of every child to get a well-rounded education,” Pettit remembered. “She thought it was a terrible shame that because of a person’s birth circumstances, they didn’t have the same opportunity for an equal education.”

Performance that earns confidence.

Supporting the LASC, he said, “was perhaps her largest manifestation of making sure that kids got an equal break.” Pettit readily recalled his mother’s frenetic efforts during the 1970s to organize donations for the center’s Action Auction TV fundraiser, which annually aired over three consecutive summer nights. “I remember her recruiting people in the business community to financially support it and get involved. Banks, hardware stores. The stockyards donated a bull,” he said with a chuckle. “There were Thoroughbreds up for auction. There was a whole lot of scurrying around to get things organized.” Like Pettit’s, the LASC family roots of current board president Emmy Hartley run deep. Her mother, Mary, and her grandmother, Eloise Sturgill, also previously served on its board. “They both believed in its mission and the value it brings,” she remembered. “Their involvement inspired me.” In contrast to a world in which “so many of our interactions and ways we experience things are on a screen,” Hartley said she is thrilled to be part of organization that “offers an environment for hands-on learning.” “Fostering that love of learning and curiosity in children at an early age has immeasurable benefits,” she asserted.

Pettit agreed and pointed out that the organization’s mission has evolved to include two other important roles. First, he said, the LASC provides critical support and exposure to Kentucky’s arts community.

professional educators to produce its in-house programs, host field trips and present its Wonders on Wheels (WOW) school-based events, which help the organization serve approximately 60 Kentucky counties.

“From the very beginning, they were part of Gallery Hop and still are,” Pettit observed. “It wasn’t part of their initial mandate, but it’s something they do anyway.”

“It’s a lot of coordinating,” Voskuhl said with a laugh. “Who can do pre-K art day? Who can be in Boyle County? How are we going to get teachers for 100 classes during the summer?”

Second, “they embrace diversity,” he said. “You’ll find kids of every creed and color who are celebrated at the LASC.”

Demand for programs afield, Lyons asserted, often outstrips the LASC’s staffing resources to produce them. That’s the organization’s biggest challenge and, by her account, a good problem to have.

Spreading Enlightenment In the beginning, LASC programs were housed out of its volunteer teachers’ car trunks, as they travelled from school to school. Today, the center has expanded greatly, adding a state-of-the-art 15,000-square-foot contemporary addition in 2016. Its 12 staffers rely on a network of more than 50 vetted,

But she worries about proposed state and federal slashes to arts and education funding, which she believes would disproportionately limit rural students’ learning opportunities. “This organization was founded because of the lack of art and science in the schools. Five decades later, there’s still a tremendous lack of art

and science in the schools,” Lyons lamented. “It shouldn’t just be something that happens for kids in some schools, or kids in some parts of town,” she emphasized. “There are kids who come here who almost never leave their county, except on field trips.” Estimating the LASC’s Impact Jade Finley’s success story isn’t the only one. Several parents shared remarkably similar anecdotes. Lora Muhammad grew up attending LASC programs. Years later, her own children – especially her seventhgrade daughter, Saudia – have demonstrated learning benefits from its classes. “All of the teachers at the center have given Saudia a safe place to express herself,” Muhammad emphasized. “She is better able to collaborate with other students on projects, [whereas] this may have been more challenging for her in the past.”

And, because the LASC “attracts students of all ages, backgrounds and abilities,” Muhammad observed, Saudia “has made friends from all walks of life.” “She’s learning at a young age how to interact with people who look like her and with people who don’t, and how to help people when they ask for it,” she said. Likewise, LASC classes have creatively nourished Jayme Olson’s daughter, Veronica, a gifted fourth-grader at Tates Creek Elementary. She took her first embroidery class last year at the LASC; now, “it’s one of her favorite hobbies.” Veronica “is definitely more open to trying new things,” her mother affirmed. “I see a boost in her confidence.” Muhammad called the LASC “a jewel in our community.” “These are people who like teaching young people and get a kick out of presenting information in ways that may be out of the box,” she said. “It’s allowed me to continue to expose my child to quality enrichment programming.” “They’ve always encouraged my daughter and me,” Finley added, intimating that such encouragement might be the most positive, important aspect of the center’s work. “If I were to hit the lottery, they’d be the first charity I’d give a really big donation to,” she said with a laugh. “I’m glad that they’ve expanded and that people in the community continue to support them.” cc

JOHN ED SCALF’S RESIDENTIAL COTTAGE GARDEN Lexington landscape designer John Ed Scalf designs and gardens with one central idea: creating a more harmonious relationship with nature. “I feel it is important to design and reinterpret gardens and green spaces with an ecological viewpoint in mind,” said Scalf, whose landscape design tends to favor food production, native plant communities and the natural beauty of the Bluegrass region, while discouraging a dependence on inputs of fuel, labor and various chemicals and pesticides.

Challenging traditional ideas about formal English gardening and the predominance of imported species, Scalf has transformed his yard into what he calls “a true cottage garden.” “It’s a forest garden, food garden and flower garden all combined,” he said in describing the fun and functional family backyard he has created for his Garden Springs home. Just a few blocks from the convergence of New Circle and Harrodsburg roads, Scalf’s blossoming oasis contrasts the

city’s asphalt and traffic. The garden includes a central feature he calls a “pollinator island”: a diverse space that includes a wildlife pond, two native trees and more than 30 species of native perennial flowers and grasses. Positioned in a way to be a catchment for water that flows off the driveway, the space never needs watering or fertilizer, and attracts many different birds, bees, butterflies and dragonflies. Scalf; his wife, Angela Hensley; and their young daughter are very involved in the playful space, which also includes fruit trees and raised beds with vegetables and herbs. Among the fruit trees and bushes in his yard are several varieties of apple trees (Gala, Newtown Pippin and Arkansas Black), an American

persimmon, thornless blackberry bushes, Cornelian cherry trees, high bush blueberry plants and more. The wildlife attracted by the garden brings joy to the gardener and his family throughout the seasons – from goldfinches perched upon coneflowers, consuming the flowers’ seeds while swaying in the breeze during summertime, to the forbs and grasses left standing tall in the late fall and winter native meadow garden, their hues of gold or rust blanketed in a light snow or shimmering frost. Scalf calls them “nature’s sculptures,” and they continue to evoke a sense of restfulness, tranquility and simplicity long after the rush and traditional garden prime time of spring and summer.

WILD ONES COMMUNITY POLLINATOR GARDEN AT WELLINGTON PARK In 2014, the Lexington chapter of Wild Ones received a grant from the Lexington Council Garden Clubs to create of a community garden in Wellington Park. The project includes removing the existing turf grass and planting more than 20 native shrubs, flowers and grasses in the parking lot island facing the park’s entrance. Beate Popkin, landscape designer and consultant and president of the Lexington chapter of Wild Ones, helped oversee the project – and while the garden has made beautiful progress over the past several growing seasons, it was not without its challenges, she said. “Making a new garden bed on a site that used to be mowed is not for the faint of heart or body,” she said. “What looked like a carpet of turf grass from a distance turned out to be, on closer inspection, a patchy growth of fescue interspersed with every imaginable weed – dandelions being the most conspicuous.” The weeds persisted, Popkin said, but many hands make light work. Brief but consistent weeding trips from Wild Ones volunteers have kept the unwanted plants under control and allowed the native plants to get ahead. Popkin and her team designed the garden to support a diverse community of insects and other wildlife. The choice of plants qualifies the bed as a certified Monarch Waystation, which provides monarch butterflies floral nectar to fuel their continental migration, as well as milkweed leaves to support their successive generations of larvae (caterpillars). But migratory butterflies aren’t the only creatures that will find refuge in this urban garden – care was taken to mulch

The Wellington Park Pollinator Garden was designed to support a diverse ecosystem,and also to provide yearround visual interest. Plants were chosen that provide an array of stunning shades and silhouettes in every season, including pink muhly grass (above), aromatic aster, hyssop-leafed thoroughwart and sedum (right).

the bed lightly to permit grounddwelling pollinating insects to exit and access their nests. Popkin also chose plants carefully to time the changing palette of colors and give joy to park visitors year-round, from the first green and color of spring and the colorful summer vignettes (often involving coneflower, the signature plant of the Eastern native plant garden) to the stunning pink muhly grass that continues to garner “oohs” and “ahhs” deep into the end of the growing season in late fall. “During winter most flower stalks retain their upright posture and continue to complement each other in form and even color, which is anything but a uniform brown or grey,” Popkin said. Shrubby St. John’s Wort, one of the many shrubs included

in the space, has become a new favorite – valued for its moderate height, rounded form and beautiful yellow pollinatorattracting flowers, as well as its dense branching, which gives it a strong winter presence. Why is a natural garden like this one important?

“Urban spaces, where people increasingly live, are particularly blighted from the point of view of nature,” Popkin explained. “Engaging ourselves with some of the plants and animals whose habitat is constantly under attack and bringing them into our living spaces seems like an appropriate response.”

The Spring Branch Stormwater Improvement Project at Clays Mill Elementary has helped transform an eroded and overgrown streambed into a sanctuary for wildlife. The project – which included the planting of more than 700 trees, shrubs, wildflowers and grasses – has helped improve water quality and safety surrounding the stream, which is part of the Wolf Run watershed. PHOTOS BY RUSS TURPIN

Lest we forget people love fresh food too, wild plum, persimmon, hickories and pecans were also planted. The benefits of helping nature “do its thing” are still continuing to reveal themselves – Turpin recently discovered that a family of mallards started nesting at Clays Mill, and he expects other animal residents to arrive soon.

CLAYS MILL ELEMENTARY GREENSPACE Since 2013, arborist and environmental specialist Russ Turpin and a team of students from Clays Mill Elementary have worked to transform an eroded and overgrown stream on the school’s property into a much-needed sanctuary for wildlife and a peaceful place for people of all ages to connect with nature. Funded by an LFUCG stormwater grant awarded to Fayette County Public Schools, the Spring Branch Stormwater Improvement Project at Clays Mill Elementary has included the planting of more than 700 trees, shrubs, wildflowers and grasses on the new floodplain. The greenspace is designed to hold the soil, filter the water and catch debris and trash that flow down the stream, which originally had steep, vertical, eroded banks and was surrounded by dense bush honeysuckle. “When it rained, water was blasting through the narrow stream channel and taking with it the soil

on the stream banks,” explained Turpin, who works for EcoGro, a Lexington ecological restoration company that has been addressing water and soil quality since 2005. “It was scouring, washing away the rocks, logs, and nooks and crannies for small insects and minnows to hide in.” According to Turpin, a creek and its floodplain can improve water quality through four simple actions: “Spread it, slow it, soak it, store it.” The first step to improving the Clays Mill streambed was to remove the honeysuckle, then widen the stream channel to make a broad, gently sloping floodplain. Allowing the water to travel slower over a wider area reduced the scour of the banks and kept the soil from washing away, Turpin explained. Stabilizing the banks and reducing the velocity of water also increased safety – a top priority for the project, which is bordered by Southland Park, Mary Queen of the Holy Rosary School and

Clays Mill Elementary. New plants were chosen and placed intentionally to create a child-friendly environment, with quick-growing ground cover selected to prevent erosion of the newly exposed earth. For the short term, Turpin selected plants that help contribute to “nature’s way of healing disturbed areas,” including wildflower species that would be showy within one to two years (quicker than most wildflowers grown from seed) such as bur marigold, lanceleaf coreopsis and black-eyed Susan. Aside from getting quick color and coverage, he needed something that would be sturdy and tough enough to tolerate kids and flowing water.

“As the small creatures get established, bigger creatures follow behind. A blue heron could come there to fish. The monarchs could stop as they are traveling through, or a red-tailed hawk might be on patrol for a snack,” he said. “That’s one perk of coming back regularly – just to see who shows up and what’s in bloom, who’s traveling through, who’s been here.”

Working toward the goal of creating a long-term wildlife habitat, Turpin also added plants that provide food or shelter, including perennials like gray-headed coneflower and purple coneflower for birds, and swamp milkweed for monarchs and other pollinators.

This class covers all types of phlox and their uses in the garden and attendees will take home small plants of newer tall phlox for their home garden. Unusual Shrubs for the Garden. April 12. Tired of the same old boxwood and burning bush in your landscape? This class will look at several unique shrubs that make great garden plants but are not widely known, as well as old favorites in compact sizes. For gardeners who want to add some color or unusual textures to their landscape. Small plants will be provided.

Lilacs. April 17. Old-fashioned lilacs are some of the most beloved, fragrant and spectacularly showy shrubs … for about two weeks, unfortunately leaving us with a large nondescript plant for another 50 weeks each year. Newer varieties feature smaller flowers on compact plants that bloom for most of the summer. This workshop will cover all types of lilacs from small dwarf varieties to 40-foot trees. Attendees will take home small plants of an improved variety to plant at home. Dahlias. April 19. Many people shy away from tender bulbs because of the hassle associated with digging and winter storage. This is not a big deal, and many are affordable enough to treat as annuals.

In one corner of the large open studio, a huge canvas is covered with splashes of paint, glitter and tiny handprints. A brilliantly painted cardboard playhouse is filled with paint-splattered dressup costumes. In another corner, a spin-art machine made from a deconstructed box fan is ready for high-speed creations. An entire wall is packed floor to ceiling with containers of sequins, beads, yarn, crayons, feathers, pom-poms, felt, books, kidsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; art projects and endless bottles of paint. The studio currently offers classes, workshops and private birthday parties for children 18 months to 12 years old. Parents and caregivers can either drop their little ones off for a session of art-filled fun or participate alongside their child. ArtPlay also offers after-school programs, yoga/art classes in collaboration with neighboring wellness studio Centered and enrichment programs for homeschooled children.

Jarah Jones, pictured at right, is a Kenwick resident with a background in fine arts and art education. She founded the Ashland Avenue business ArtPlay as a way to encourage creative play and exploration among children. PHOTOS BY HATTIE QUIK

Jones, who hails from Hazard, studied fine art at the University of Kentucky. During that time, she worked at an art studio for adults with disabilities called Minds Wide Open Studios (Minds Wide Open is now Latitude Artist Community and is located across the courtyard from ArtPlay). She has also spent several years teaching preschool. As her two children Pax, 8, and Isabel, 5, have grown, Jonesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; art has evolved into designing creative spaces for children. The concept for ArtPlay started at her own home.

“I would often host neighborhood children in our backyard for collaborative art projects,” Jones said, “and I realized how much children need art in their lives.” Providing open-ended experiences is a key component of ArtPlay. While working in schools, Jones found some art classes to be a bit too structured, often giving children very specific instructions that didn’t allow for much creativity. At ArtPlay, kids are free to explore and create on their own terms. “It can get messy,” she admitted, but parents don’t have to worry about cleanup. “You can come and enjoy the studio, have a cup of coffee and just breathe, hang out and enjoy your kid.”

Among Jones’ favorite workshops is the Photo Project, a multimedia class available for children ages 4 to 12, with a modified version for younger children. It involves a blackand-white photo of the child layered on top of his or her artwork, along with quotes from the child about his or her thoughts, hopes and dreams. “It’s a great keepsake for a parent or grandparent,” Jones said. In another class, called Awesome Architects, kids can learn from a real architect and then design and build with recyclable materials. For those just wanting to play, Open Studios is a free-form way for kids to explore new materials, techniques and art concepts without formal instruction.

A resident of Kenwick, Jones and her husband, Shane Tedder, are active in the community and were the driving force behind the hand-painted “Slow Down” signs, which can be seen around that neighborhood and others in the city. Jones was inspired to spawn the project when Pax began riding his scooter around the neighborhood. Seeing cars speed down the street prompted her to organize a “sign-painting” day with the Kenwick Neighborhood Association to encourage car traffic to slow down. This summer, she plans to start a program with a similar model called “Kindness Camp,” during which children can paint “advocacy signs” with messages of peace, love and kindness.

ArtPlay classes range from “open studio” to more structured art classes geared toward older children, up to fifthgraders. The studio also offers “art and yoga” classes for parents and children, and is available to rent for children’s birthday parties and other events. PHOTOS ON THIS PAGE FURNISHED BY ARTPLAY

Right now, Jones said, her biggest challenge is offering enough studio time to keep up with the demand. “It’s really taken off fast, and it’s been very welcomed by the community,” she said, adding that she plans to hire another art teacher and include more classes over the next few months. “Our goal is to let kids be free in their play, their thoughts and their ideas, and to be confident and just create without any limitations,” she said. “I want them to come here and feel like this is their studio – it’s not just an art class, it’s a real kids’ working studio.” cc

CHEVY CHASER’S DRINK OF THE MONTH

The Bourbini RECIPE AND PHOTO BY THERESA STANLEY

Bourbon and mint go hand in hand during horse racing season – but who knew there was a bourbon and mint pairing other than the Mint Julep? The Bourbini is an instant classic mash-up between a Mint Julep and a Bellini, with peaches providing a complementary flavor to bourbon and bubbly alike. A dash of bitters anchors the drink to balance its fruity, sweet and bourbon notes, with fresh mint completing a drink that’s bound to pair well with any tailgating brunch at the racetrack.

Bartender’s tip: Avoid the bottomless approach — recipe makes one fruity, smooth and unassumingly stiff drink.

Ingredients: • 1 1/2 ounces bourbon • 1 ounce peach puree • 3 dashes peach bitters • Sparkling wine • Mint • Ice

Method: In a shaker, combine ice, bourbon, puree, bitters and one mint leaf. Shake vigorously for 15 seconds. Pour through strainer into champagne glass. Top with sparkling wine and garnish with mint leaf. cc

APRIL ARTS & CULTURE EVENT LISTINGS

CONCERTS & GIGS Blackfoot Gypsies. April 6. This Nashville-based four-piece band has shared bills with everyone from the Alabama Shakes and Trampled by Turtles to Futurebirds, The Ettes and The Carolina Chocolate Drops. Known for their high-energy live shows and full-blown 1970s’ garb, the band’s raw psychedelic blues sound is infused with pure rock ’n’ roll energy. 8 p.m. The Burl, 375 Thompson Road. www.theburlky.com (859) 447-8166 The Eagles. April 10. One of the most commercially successful American rock bands of all time, the Eagles’ profound lyrics, harmonies and country-tinged melodies have contributed to their signature Southern California sound. 8 p.m. Rupp Arena, 430 West Vine St. www.rupparena.com (859) 233-3535 Angela Perley & Howlin’ Moons. April 11. At 27 years old, Angela Perley’s nostalgic and high-energy music tells stories of love, death, railroads and everything in between. Her songs are rooted in small town Ohio, where she says she spent much of her childhood wandering in her family’s cornfields, enveloped in her own world of dreams and imagination. Countless hours spent listening to Patsy Cline, The Carter Family, Loretta Lynn, Bob Dylan, Wanda Jackson and Billie Holiday and spending time with the literary work of writers and poets like John Yeats, Mark Twain and Sylvia Plath have informed her lyrically driven, Americanatinged indie rock, backed by a high energy, well-polished band. 8 p.m. The Burl, 375 Thompson Road. www.theburlky.com (859) 447-8166

Nashville’s Blackfoot Gypsies will perform April 6 at The Burl. PHOTO FURNISHED

Ray Wylie Hubbard. April 12. Whether or not you subscribe to the adage that the devil always has the best music, you can take it on faith that any time he pops up for a cameo in a Ray Wylie Hubbard song, the results will be pretty entertaining. And as any fan of the Hubbard cannon knows, Old Scratch pops up in his songs a lot — nearly as often as all of Hubbard’s wise-cracking blackbirds, lyrical and musical nods to Lightnin’ Hopkins, bad-ass women (usually his own wife, Judy), and myriad other grifters, ruffians and scrappy cats of the gnarly and general lowdown variety. 8:30 p.m. Willie’s Locally Known, 286 Southland Drive. www.willieslocallyknown. com (859) 281-1116 The Steel Drivers. April 13-14. This popular, Grammy-winning bluegrass band based out of

Nashville, Tennessee, and Muscle Shoals, Alabama, are known for their hard-driving “power bluegrass” (and for originally including nationally acclaimed country musician Chris Stapleton, who left the band in 2010). They’ll play a two-night stint in Lexington. 7 p.m. Manchester Music Hall, 899 Manchester St. (859) 230-5365 Anderson East. April 17. Michael Cameron Anderson, known professionally as Anderson East, is a new American artist known for his songwriting and unique vocal ability. The soulful voice and funky rhythms of the Alabama native quickly caught the attention of renowned Nashville producer Dave Cobb, who produced his 2015 release “Delilah,” as well as this year’s “Encore.” 8 p.m. Manchester Music Hall, 899 Manchester St. (859) 230-5365

Deer Tick/John Moreland. April 22. Deer Tick has been described as rock with folk, blues and country influences, although the band actively rebels against the country tag, saying, “We’re proud not to sing with a twang.” The band regularly perform cover versions in their live sets, including songs by The Replacements, Nirvana, John Prine, Hank Williams, the Beastie Boys, Warren Zevon and Sonny West. Opener John Moreland sings in one of those accents from flyover country that’s impossible to locate and implausible to mimic (Texas, by way of northern Kentucky, but mostly Tulsa, as it happens), singing with resolute courage and writing with simple eloquence about love, faith and isolation. 7 p.m. Manchester Music Hall, 899 Manchester St. (859) 230-5365

Sharing Time and Space: Art Exhibit by Paolo DalPrá and Carleton Wing. On display April 10-May 26. The contrasting styles of primitive sculptures and drawings by Paolo DalPrá will be displayed along with the detail-oriented secular mandalas by Carleton Wing. Inspired by the art of Tuscany, DalPrá creates his sculpture in wood, paper and clay. Thriving on detail, Wing creates his secular mandalas from objects he finds in his studio, manipulating them digitally until there is no beginning or end. For a brief time, these two old friends will “share time and space” in the gallery. Gallery hours: Tues.-Fri., noon-5 p.m.; Sat., 1-4 p.m. and by appointment. M.S. Rezny Gallery, 903 Manchester St. www.msrenzy.com (859)-252-4647 Rooted Words: Kentucky Writers on the Land. On display until May 6. This exhibit created by artist and oral historian Arwen Donahue includes paintings and oral histories of Kentucky writers, exploring the relationships between people and places, language and land. Participants include Wendell Berry, Nikky Finney, Barbara Kingsolver, Noah Adams, Crystal Wilkinson, Maurice Manning, Gray Zeitz, Mary Ann Taylor-Hall, Jonathan Greene, Leatha Kendrick, Erik Reece, Bobbie Ann Mason, Mark Schimmoeller and Richard Taylor, with art and interviews by Donahue. An author reading and oral history listening party will take place April 19 from 6-7:30 p.m. at the Farish Theater. Gallery hours: Tues-Thurs., 11 a.m.-5 p.m.; Fri-Sat., 11 a.m.-8 p.m.; Sun., 10 a.m.-2 p.m. Downtown Arts Center, 141 E. Main St. www.lexarts.org (859) 425-2550 Murmurations and Exultations. On display through May 5. Approaching the canvas instinctively and without preamble, both Cheryl Chapman and Rodney Hatfield begin by mark making, layering paint and building texture. Structure and patterns emerge; a tradition of abstract expressionism on one hand and a story of intimate portraits on the other. Bold color, rhythm and line start the conversation, where communication begins and the canvas becomes the pathway for exploration and discovery. Gallery hours: Tues.-Sat., 11 a.m.-5 p.m. New Editions Gallery, 500 W. Short St. www.neweditionsgallery. com (859) 266-2766 Enrique Gonzalez at John G. Irvin Art Gallery. On display until April 27. A native from Venezuelan Amazonian rainforest, modern impressionist Enrique Gonzalez finds inspiration for his work in everyday things that then are translated with his brush and bright pigments. The collection is displayed on the bank’s second and third floors. Gallery hours: Mon.-Fri. 9 a.m.5 p.m. John G. Irvin Art Gallery at Central Bank, 300 W. Vine St.

Outlaws Art Exhibit

THRU

This exhibition curated by Po’ Boy Art Collective aims to explore themes of “outlaws” in historical, pop culture, modern and conceptual ideas. Outlaws, by all accounts, are people who live outside of the law. The duality of the word “outlaw” works on many levels according to organizers – wavering between good and evil, and finding a balance between the two. Gallery hours: Tues.-Thurs., 10 a.m.-4 p.m.; Fri., 10 a.m.-8 p.m. Sat-Sun., 10 a.m.-4 p.m., Lexington Art League, 209 Castlewood Drive. www.lexingtonartleague.org. (859) 254-7024
