NATIONALLY RANKED PEDIATRIC CARE. CHARLIE IS PROOF.
Charlie’s parents thought he was perfectly healthy—until he turned one. When treatment after treatment failed to help his wheezing and coughing, his parents took him to Kentucky Children’s Hospital, where pulmonologists found an extremely rare combination of heart defects constricting Charlie’s airway. Despite the rarity of his diagnosis, Charlie had a local expert to help him: Dr. Carl Backer, a member of Kentucky Children’s Hospital’s nationally-ranked Joint Heart Program, who was experienced in Charlie’s exact condition. One surgery fixed Charlie’s heart, relieved his symptoms, and got him back to his healthy, happy self. Read more stories like Charlie’s at kentuckychildrens.com.
The Power of Advanced Medicine The Joint Heart Program, a collaboration of Kentucky Children’s Hospital and Cincinnati Children’s, is jointly ranked by U.S. News and World Report.

BY JAMES BROWN, 1ST DISTRICT COUNCILMEMBER
H
ello Neighbors! I’m 1st District Councilmember James Brown, currently serving my fourth term on the Lexington Fayette Urban County Council. For the first time in the history of our merged city/county government, which is almost 50 years, I’m the sole African American councilmember. Lexington’s 1st District has boundaries that expand from Winchester Road to Georgetown Street, south to Main Street and north past I-75. Some of the city’s oldest and most historic neighborhoods are in the 1st District, including Northside, which established the city’s first neighborhood association in 1961. In addition to its history, the 1st District is known for its racial and socioeconomic diversity, with a long legacy of minority representation on city council. As a representative of a district that still faces a lot of challenges, from systemic barriers to a lack of access to resources and economic opportunity, it is my responsibility to recognize the real issues and root causes of these challenges. I also see it as my responsibility to advocate for equitable funding in the city budget that will effect real change and will ultimately improve the quality of life in my neighborhoods. With each new fiscal year beginning July 1, council is tasked with passing a balanced budget that reflects the city’s priorities in addressing the needs of all our residents, as well as investing in the future of Lexington. As we look to the future as Lexington grows, cultural and residential displacement through gentrification is a real concern in several downtown and north Lexington neighborhoods. Through the work of the Task Force of Neighborhoods in Transition, we’ve been able to learn and share information with the community. And through a variety of public meetings and forums we have drafted a report that recommends a number of policy changes and initiatives that will help protect our most vulnerable residents and stabilize our most diverse neighborhoods. Serving the public at a local level is an honor and privilege. I firmly believe that representation matters – it’s important to have leaders who are reflective of the people they serve and share the same beliefs and experiences. As the only African American representative on council, I often find myself leading on issues that impact minority communities, not only in my district but also for our entire city. And through building strong relationships on council and in the community, we have worked together to pass policy addressing these issues. I stay committed to sharing my experiences and working with others to make Lexington a better place while encouraging other minorities to step in and lead – because, again, representation matters. ■

ach year for the Chevy Chaser/Southsider real estate issue, I scour the PVA statistical database for clues as to the state of the local real estate market. This time last year, the market was as robust as ever even though we were ankle deep into a global pandemic and all the economic uncertainty that follows. Fast forward to today when we now have more than a full year of real estate transactions to analyze. So, what have we learned? For the best year-over-year comparisons, we are looking at the same six communities we highlighted last year: neighborhoods totaling 11,500 homes, or 12 percent of the county’s total number of single-family detached homes. The bottom line is even though the pandemic has been devastating for a lot of industries in a lot of ways, the real estate market is not one of them. The number of homes sold within this study area during the past 12 months increased slightly over the same period the previous year, with the median sale price rising 6 percent to $370,000. In the past year, 5 percent of the total homes in the study area went on the market and sold – a robust turnover rate, but one that is still below the county average of 7 percent. Countywide, the number of sales increased slightly year over year, but the median sale price jumped a surprising 13.4 percent to $220,000. Yes, you are reading that correctly. The median sale price in Lexington is now more than $200,000. If you have not taken a statistics course in a while, median means half of all sales are below that number and half are above it. A market opinion I hear most often is we are in a housing bubble. But I do not believe that is accurate, and here’s why: Bubbles are generally associated with seemingly irrational exuberance, such as GameStop stock or Bitcoin – market reactions mostly driven by fear of missing out on the next big thing. That’s not exactly how one would characterize the current housing market. To those who subscribe to the “bubble” school of thought, comparing the current real estate market to halcyon days of 2005 and 2006, I would highlight one significant distinction. While it’s true that today’s low interest rates are contributing to the thriving market conditions, a desire to lock in favorable interest rates is

hardly irrational. The more significant driver today versus 15 years ago is the pent-up demand for housing and a chronic lack of supply. Stock is simply not being replenished.
What inspires you?
The great recession of 2008-09 brought about a dramatic drop in the number of new houses built each year – down to between 500 and 600 annually – to the same levels we continue to see today. In terms of demand, Lexington has grown historically by about 1.2 percent per year. With a population near 325,000, even a 1 percent growth rate would add 3,250 people or roughly 1,500 households to our ranks. Since we are only building an average of 550 singlefamily housing units per year, the other almost 1,000 households are forced to look elsewhere, including rental units and in other cities. It is not a coincidence that most of the counties contiguous to Fayette are growing at a faster rate. Nor is it a coincidence that for the past few years our growth rate has been sporadic and sometimes well below 1 percent. Many folks are deciding to live in surrounding communities, whether by choice or necessity. The choice is most likely one of affordability – not to be confused with low income “affordable housing” programs, which is probably the segment of the housing market where the need for greater supply is most dire, at least in humanitarian terms. Affordability is an issue of one’s individual budget, needs and desires – where can they find what they are looking for or at least where can they get the biggest bang for their buck. Remember that half of the market we discussed earlier, the half that is below $200,000? This is precisely the segment of the market we are not replenishing with new housing stock – at least not with new owner-occupied housing stock. This is the segment we would characterize as starter homes. The number of homes that sold in the past 12 months under $200,000 was down 20 percent from the same period the previous year, a trend almost certain to continue. Of the new homes built and sold in 2020 or later, only 16 sold for less than $200,000 and seven of those were within a single townhouse development. The remaining nine were all single-family detached houses, but four of those were built by and for and sold to Habitat for Humanity clients. They were not available for sale to the general public – and therefore not arms-length sales. The other five were mostly in the newer section of Masterson Station and in Kearney Ridge, with one notable exception built and marketed by minority-owned businesses on Michigan Street for $133,000. These chronic supply and demand imbalances are not unique to Lexington; communities across the country are experiencing similar pains. But there is one significant difference in Lexington separating us from surrounding communities, and for most communities around the country, for that matter: the availability of buildable land. The reason you can get more house for your money in Madison Country than you can in Fayette County is the cost of the land. Labor cost is roughly the same – and in short supply everywhere. As builders are quick to remind you, lumber costs are up about 400 percent since the pandemic, but roughly the same regardless of the county. The bigger difference is Lexington’s urban growth boundary that artificially limits the supply of land we have available for building new homes, and as a result, the land inside the urban service area is more valuable. This is not a bad strategy for preserving all that is special and unique about Lexington, but it is a deliberate choice and one that should be understood and considered by the entire community. ■

Winner will receive an outdoor grill and prize package including aprons, grill gadgets, seasonings and enough beef for you and 24 guests!
These restaurants will get demolished. They are going to be hit like never before in their histories. Unless, of course, they participated in Lexington Burger Week 2020. So, if a place runs out toward the end of a shift, go back the next day, earlier, order your burger, and thank them for working their butts off to do this for you. Do Not Be A Jerk To Our Restaurants.
2. THERE WILL BE WAITS* People have been talking about Burger Week 2021 since the day after Lexington Burger Week 2020. Don’t be surprised if restaurants have waits. In fact, be surprised if they don’t.
3. YOU WILL TIP AND GIVE THANKS It brings out the cheap in all of us, but really, you’re getting a $10-$15 burger (many restaurants go way overboard with ingredients, trying to outdo each other), so please tip at least 20%. The people who are serving you are working harder during Burger Week than at any other point in the year. A kind word will also be welcome— these people are our friends and neighbors. Check out our handy dandy tip calculator on lexingtonburgerweek.com.

The demand for housing in Lexington and Fayette County has increased dramitcally in the past year. The city’s livability and affordability is often credited.

hen Laura Minter and her husband, Kenn, began looking for a new home last year, they weren’t expecting to be searching for
“Every house we considered buying was quickly snapped up by someone offering cash, or $20,000 to $30,000 over asking price,” Laura Minter said. “We looked into building, but the price increases in lumber made it prohibitively expensive to build. We finally realized we weren’t going to be able to afford what we wanted in Fayette County.”

group has seen the number of offers on a single home escalate dramatically.
HORD
In the end, the Minters listened to the advice of their agent, Julie Baker, and purchased a home in Woodford County.
“Regardless of a pandemic, the reality is people still had to buy and people had to sell, due to jobs, a life situation or a personal choice,” Hord said. “Builders were still building. On the flip side, people who didn’t ‘need’ to sell got cautious. Our housing inventory has dropped from a healthy six months of inventory to about one month of inventory. If people don’t sell, people can’t buy.”
It’s a familiar story to those in the housing
Hord said that in the past six months, her
“It started with one to three offers, and today we are seeing anywhere from one to 30 offers on a home and most well over list price,” she said.
PADGETT
Greg Padgett, a partner in the construction company Padgett Construction, reinforced Hord’s sentiments. “The custom home market and the remodeling market were booming before the pandemic, and demand increased during the pandemic,” said Padgett, whose company focuses on large custom projects, including new construction and remodeling. “It’s never slowed down.”

“[The market is] definitely the busiest we’ve ever seen,” said Becky Reinhold, principal broker and vice-president of Bluegrass Sotheby’s International Realty. “With historically low mortgage rates, increased buyer demand and higher than ever prices, it presents both challenges and opportunities. Lack of inventory and super-low interest rates are fueling the feeding frenzy.”
REINHOLD
Realtor Rick Queen, vice-president and partner at Turf Town Properties, explained: “We’re seeing a tremendous impact with out-of-town and out-of-state-buyers coming into the market. We’re also seeing people doing the ‘move up’ – selling a home in the $200,000 range and moving into a home in the $400,000 to $500,000 range.”
SOUTHERN GRILL + GUMBO
Though there are a number of factors at play, when talking about the competitive nature of today’s housing market, the conversation keeps coming back to inventory. “We are experiencing some lack of developable land, and we’re also getting to the point where Lexington really has to address the future of where the growth is going to go,” Queen said. “Lexington is going to grow by attracting new businesses and new things that are going to grow the economy. We’re going to have to have housing.”

QUEEN Dennis Anderson, a developer and CEO of Anderson Communities who is also a member of the city’s Infill and Redevelopment Steering Committee and Sustainable Growth Task Force, also emphasized the housing shortage in Fayette County. “Hyper demand [for] new housing has been created by the federal government maintaining historically low interest rates, increasing the affordability for new home buyers,” Anderson said. “At the same time, local government is restricting supply by limiting the land available for development. When combined, these two forces increase demand but lower supply – a very basic economic principle that ends in higher prices and decreased housing affordability.” One of the local limitations on land development lies with Lexington’s Urban ANDERSON Services Boundary: an urban growth boundary designed as a containment strategy to prevent urban areas from overtaking rural land. The American Planning Association estimates that more than 100 metropolitan areas utilize a growth boundary, but Lexington’s, established in 1958, was the first in the nation. The Urban Services Boundary was first implemented to protect horse farms in the Bluegrass from disappearing due to urban encroachment. The Urban Services Boundary, which has been reconfigured a number of times throughout the years as a part of the city’s planning process, encourages

higher-density development within the boundary, as well as creative infill and multi-use construction. The boundary is currently being evaluated as a result of Imagine Lexington, the City of Lexington’s 2018 Comprehensive Plan. To make the best possible land use decisions, the city established a Sustainable Growth Task Force to spearhead a Sustainable Growth Study that has the stated goal of “developing an objective, transparent and reliable framework to inform longterm land use decisions involving the Urban Service Boundary (USB), and its role in protecting the urban and rural balance makes Lexington unique.”
Visit Lucia’s World Emporium for ethically-made clothing, jewelry, home decor, and gifts.
Padgett, who is the chair of the Sustainable Growth Task Force, described the committee’s charge as “creating a platform for the planning staff to utilize now and in the future to determine when and if the Urban Services Area is out of land and needs to be expanded.”

“The planning staff can determine what may need to happen in different scenarios – what if we keep growing as we’ve grown to date, or what if we became a more dense community and added even more infill and redevelopment?” he said. “All of these criteria will be considered, and then it will be presented to the planning commission and the council, and they can determine where to go from there.” Padgett added that the committee aims to provide a tool to be able to project the needs of Fayette County for the next 20 years, so that city planners can look ahead.

“It’s very interesting,” he continued. “The end product, I think, is going to be a great product that will be a great tool for the planning staff, the Planning Commission, and the City Council to use.”
Individualized College Planning/College Search
While the pandemic slowed down the work of the task force by several months, Padgett says the group is back on track to provide its report to the City Council before the end of the summer. Padgett believes the supply of housing is going to continue to decrease and demand is going to continue to expand, and Fayette County is going to have to create more diverse housing opportunities. “Creative infill products and multi-use structures are where we’re going to end up heading. Big half-acre single family lots are going to become few and far between as we continue to grow,” he predicted. While the consensus is that demand will continue to outpace supply, Queen says we are going to see some price stabilization in the near future. “I think we’re going to start to see new home builds pick up as material costs start stabilizing,” he said. “I don’t think we’ll see a decline in real estate pricing, but I do think we’ll see a stabilization.” Queen credited the demand to Lexington’s livability. “People move here from large markets because of our affordability of living,” he said. “I think one of the things that attracts folks to Lexington is the convenience factor. You can really be anywhere you want in Lexington in 20 minutes. Even though Lexington has grown, it’s still a great city for commuting and convenience to shopping and entertainment, friends and family.” ■

n the outskirts of Frankfort, Kentucky, Melanie VanHouten has transformed her childhood wonderland into a sprawling sanctuary for public art — and the only sculpture park in the state. Featuring more than 70 large-scale sculptures created by artists from around the world, Josephine Sculpture Park isn’t the type of exhibit space where the art is meant to merely be seen. Scattered along a web of trails that meander through a native-rural landscape formerly owned by VanHouten’s grandparents, the artworks are almost all designed to be touched – in fact, many are intended to be climbed on, crawled under or otherwise enjoyed. Established in 2009, Josephine Sculpture Park has evolved over the past 12 years from a modest sculpture garden with about a dozen artworks into an expansive oasis for exploration. Located on 30 acres of a former tobacco farm that has been in VanHouten’s family for more than half a century, the park features a plethora of event, education and exhibition space, and has become an increasingly popular regional destination for families, art lovers and other curious souls. While the park now hosts thousands of visitors a year, VanHouten associates her earliest memories of the land with the countless hours she spent exploring it by herself as a kid. “Most of my childhood memories are out in this place and on this property,” VanHouten said, during a recent ramble along the park’s trails. While much of her childhood was spent in the Frankfort area, VanHouten said that she and her family moved houses often, but she always saw the property as a constant connection. “Back then, I just spent a lot of time out here by myself,” she said. “I had free rein.” The land had a big impact on VanHouten as a child – and so did her late grandmother, Josephine, the namesake of the park. VanHouten describes her grandmother as an environmental steward who instilled in her from an early age the importance of taking care of the planet and fostering a relationship with the land. “[She] had a big garden and was an amazing cook – she was always canning food and was really very aware of all these environmental issues,” VanHouten said. “This was in the late ’70s and the ’80s… She would talk to me about littering and not wasting water, and those subtle things like growing your own food.”
Melanie VanHouten (pictured above) has turned the Frankfort tobacco farm purchased by her grandparents in the 1960s into a haven for public art. PHOTOS BY EMILY GIANCARLO

Artist Amery Kessler, a recent artist-in-residence at Josephine Sculpture Park, experiments with his project Shae Sail Light Path in the park’s art studio barn. May through October this year, the organization will host a different artist-in-residence each month.
Those principles have always been personally significant to VanHouten and have helped guide the mission of Josephine Sculpture Park since its inception. “The mission from the beginning has been to connect people to each other and the land through the arts,” she explained. “Art, the environment and the community – all three are pretty significant and equally important in terms of who we are and who we want to be.”

In describing the guiding forces behind Josephine Sculpture Park, “ecofeminism” is another term that VanHouten references. As an exhibition space and education center, the park has always made a special effort to provide opportunities for female and minority artists – artists whom she says historically haven’t always had the support of the art community at large. Of the artists who have exhibited at the park or participated in its artist residency program, more than 60 percent have been women or artists of color. As a female sculptor who came of age in the ’80s and ’90s, a time when Van Houten said teachers rarely highlighted women and minority artists. “We didn’t learn about them – I had to go find them on my own,” she said.

As Kentucky’s only sculpture park, Josephine Sculpture Park is there to provide a place where budding artists of every background can see a future for themselves in the arts, and VanHouten feels it’s important to take an active role in creating that narrative. “We want to be a place where kids and families that are creative can connect and nurture their own creative gifts and connect with professionals in that field who look like them,” she said.
Nurturing artists has become an increasingly important focus of Josephine Sculpture Park. A registered 501c3 nonprofit, the organization has supported more than 22 artists over the past 12 years as part of its artist residency program, which has traditionally hosted three to five artists a year. The robust program has expanded recently, with the National Endowment for the Arts having doubled its financial contributions to the program last year – this year, the program will support a different artist each month from May to October, for a total of seven artists in 2021.

Through the program, artists are offered the opportunity to live and work at Josephine Sculpture Park, where they can create original artworks for exhibit at the park, interact with the public, and lead workshops and/or community activities. “They can kind of pick what they want to do and what will support their practice,” said VanHouten, who got her Masters of Fine Arts in sculpture at the University of Minnesota and was head of the sculpture department at St. Catherine University in Minnesota for a number of years before deciding to return home and focus her artistic and professional energy on opening the sculpture park. This experience as both an artist and an educator have given VanHouten a special understanding of the impact that supportive and transformative programs like this can have on

Grow With Us Campaign: A reforestation initiative at Josephine Sculpture Park Earlier this year, Josephine Sculpture Park launched a major reforestation and conservation initiative that will enrich the property and further the organization’s commitment to the environment. In collaboration with Inside Out Landscape Design, a Frankfortbased landscape design company that focuses on sustainable landscapes, the initiative is part of the park’s Grow With Us campaign, which has a fundraising goal of $350,000. As part of the campaign, a native shrub or tree will be planted on the property for every $500-$1,000 raised. According to Josephine Sculpture Park’s founder and creative director Melanie VanHouten, the project differs from a typical reforestation project in that in addition to improving wildlife habitat, the trees will be planted with interactive, artistic sensibilities in mind – almost like an art installation itself. “It will be a very intentional, living sculptural installation, created with trees and shrubs,” VanHouten explained. “It really fits into our mission, in terms of the land conservation piece, improving wildlife habitat, reclaiming farmland and reconnect[ing] people with the planet and with each other.” More information on Josephine Sculpture Park’s Grow With Us Campaign, can be found at www.josephinesculpturepark.org/ grow-with-us. ■
emerging artists. The organization also regularly provides a venue for art students to host their Bachelor’s in Fine Arts and Master’s in Fine Arts shows, enabling them to do things they wouldn’t be able to do in a traditional gallery setting. While VanHouten has largely taken a step back from creating sculptures herself in recent years, she sees Josephine Sculpture Park as an enduring artistic effort itself, connecting her love of art, nature and community into an ever-evolving labor of love – one that continues to unfurl in new and unexpected ways. Located on Lawrenceburg Road in Frankfort, the park is open to the public daily, from dawn to dusk. Visitors can bring their dogs and admission is free. The park also regularly hosts events, from “night sky walks” to artist presentations and festivals. More information can be found at www.josephinesculpturepark.org. ■
Designed with interaction in mind, the park features many sculptures that can be climbed on, walked under, or even painted on, such as ‘Graphologyhenge’ by Peyton Scott Russell (above), which is intended to be a “sanctuary and safe space for grafitti art.” Pictured at right is ‘Cotulla’ by Michael Bigger.

O Stella’s Fried Green Tomatoes 38
ne of the first restaurants to kick off what’s since become a culinary revival on Jefferson Street, Stella’s Kentucky Deli has been an institution for creative, house-made meals with a heavy farmto-table emphasis since 2006, when the restaurant reopened under new ownership. The casual eatery, which originally opened in the early 1980s, is open for weekday lunch and weekend brunch, with a menu specializing in housemade soups, sandwiches, salads, pies and sodas. These fried green tomatoes make an appearance in several places on the menu: on a Fried Green Tomato BLT, on the Revro Burger and as a salad add-on. It’s a great classic recipe to utilize the bounty of green tomatoes that are popping up on local farms, in gardens and at farmers’ markets this time of year.

Mix cornmeal, salt, garlic powder and pepper in a small bowl. Pour buttermilk in a second small bowl. Dunk green tomato slices in the buttermilk, then dredge in cornmeal mixture one at a time, making sure to gently push the meal into the buttermilk to remove clumps and to achieve an even coating. Once all tomatoes are coated in cornmeal mixture, heat a well-cured cast iron skillet on medium high heat. Once the skillet is hot, add approximately one teaspoon of oil per tomato slice and place coated tomatoes onto the oiled skillet, taking care not to splash hot oil on exposed skin. Make sure each tomato is lying flat on the skillet and isn’t crowding or laying on any of the other tomatoes. If available, use a pastry brush to add a coating of oil to the top of the tomatoes; if no brush is available, add more oil to the skillet when flipping the tomatoes. Cook until golden brown – 3-4 minutes, depending on the temperature of the skillet – and flip the tomato slices onto oiled skillet with a spatula. After flipping the tomatoes, cook for 60-90 more seconds, depending on the thickness of each slice.
