A rendering of the new Kroger from the corner of Marquis and Euclid avenues.

Daniel J. Steckler DMD The long exterior wall along Marquis Avenue was one aspect with which opponents to the new Kroger took issue. Design features were added to make the stretch more appealing.

Council approves zone change for Euclid Kroger properties The Urban County Council voted to approve Kroger’s request for a zone change at the grocery store chain’s property on Euclid Avenue in a public hearing earlier in August. Kroger was seeking to have its properties on Euclid Avenue rezoned from B-1 to B-6P, a shopping center designation. The B-6P zone was needed for Kroger to construct a new 86,000 square foot store. In May, the Planning Commission voted unanimously to recommend the zone change. Dozens of neighbors voiced their opposition to the proposal, citing a number of concerns, such as the scope of the project being a insensitive to the neighborhood’s character, traffic and access. Kroger representatives also gave a presentation in the public hearing, which lasted over six hours. All council members present voted for the project; councilmembers Kevin Stinnett, George Myers, Ed Lane and Shevawn Akers were absent. Earlier in the year Kroger announced plans to raze the current grocery store on Euclid Avenue and construct a new outlet over double in size as the current store. The day before the council public hearing, Kroger representatives announced that they were downsizing their plans for the Euclid Avenue grocery store, which included decreas-

ing the square footage of the entire store by over 10,000 square feet, to 86,472 square feet. However, most of the decrease in space would be taken from the basement area; the groundfloor level would only be lowered by 1,100 square feet, to just over 64,000 square feet.

The current store is just over 38,000 square feet. Kroger wants to build a larger, modern grocery store with many more offerings representatives say customers are traveling elsewhere to purchase. Design plans for the new Kroger has 128 parking spaces on the roof (198 on the entire site), a drive-thru pharmacy and is oriented to face Ashland Avenue with its exterior walls up against Euclid and Marquis avenues.

Idle Hour neighbors install butterfly “waystation” The traffic median at St. Ann Drive in the Idle Hour Neighborhood was recently certified as a “Monarch Butterfly Waystation” by Monarch Watch, a national organization committed to saving the butterfly from extinction through habitat loss. The Idle Hour Neighborhood Alliance planted the St. Ann median with native flowers, grass, shrubs and trees this spring. Among the flowers planted were a large number of milkweeds – both swamp milkweed and orange butterfly milkweed. A minimum of 10 milkweed plants and four nectar plants, like asters, coneflower or goldenrod, are necessary for a garden to be certified as a Monarch Waystation.

These created habitats can be created in home gardens, at schools, businesses, parks, zoos, nature centers, along roadsides and on unused plots of land. In the American Midwest much habitat for Monarchs has been destroyed in recent years through the planting of Round-up ready crops. The vast majority of these food crops are now grown in a form that resists being spr ayed with Round-up so that blanket herbicide spraying is routinely done over very large areas, killing weeds that sustained insects in the past, including milkweed.

Feedback sought on 2013 Comprehensive Plan update The public is invited to provide feedback on the draft of the 2013 Comprehensive Plan update, which includes a number of themes to address land use, transportation, community facilities and green infrastructure. A draft of the 2013 Comprehensive Plan update is available at the following link: www.lexingtonky.gov/2013CompPlan. Themes include: growing successful neighborhoods, protecting the environment, creating jobs and prosperity, improving a desirable community, and maintaining a balance between planning for urban uses and safeguarding rural land. Staff from the LFUCG Division of Planning will lead two public input meetings with identical formats at the following times: 7 – 8:30 p.m. Sept. 10 at the Lexington Senior Center (1530 Nicholasville Rd.), and 7 – 8:30 p.m. Sept. 12 at the Village Branch Lexington Public Library (2185 Versailles Rd.). Planning staff will be on hand to answer questions about the draft for the 2013 Comprehensive Plan update and will collect comments and report issues and concerns to the Planning Commission. For those unable to attend either meeting, please visit the 2013 Comprehensive Plan website, where instructions are available to submit comments online.

Public invited to take survey of transportation needs Regional residents, workers and visitors are invited to complete a survey that will provide insight into how people view Lexington’s transportation system today and what is desired of transportation in the future. The direct link to the survey is www.surveymonkey.com/s/LexAreaTransSurvey.

The survey is being conducted by the Lexington Area Metropolitan Planning Organization, the transportation planning agency for Fayette and Jessamine counties, the two-county focus area of the plan.

The survey will provide insight to the MPO on the public’s transportation desires, concerns and priorities as they develop the region’s longrange 2040 Metropolitan Transportation Plan. Updated every five years, the Metropolitan Transportation Plan sets forth transportation policy and investment strategies for the MPO region over the next 25 years and is the mechanism for prioritizing and allocating transportation funds. The plan will be adopted by the MPO mid-2014.

The MPO consists of representatives from local, state and federal governments, transit agencies, transportation providers, and other stakeholders. The MPOs work to ensure that expenditures on transportation projects and programs are based on public input, regional goals and priorities. A summary of survey results, draft reports and a draft plan will be posted to the MPO website as the plan progresses. Additional opportunities for public input will occur prior to plan adoption. Citizens who wish to be notified of these opportunities are encouraged to contact the Metropolitan Planning Organization at www.LexAreaMPO.org or (859) 258-3605.

The questions became more and more specific about the logistics of the building and parking in the 24-acre park – how they could or would meld together. For sure, there will be a place for seniors but also for all the sports and leagues that are there now. The only thing pushed out of the park will be apathy and worn equipment. I am happy to know now that a board member from the Idle Hour Neighbors Alliance and a member of the Lexington Senior Center Commission – who also happens to be a member of Southland Christian Church – will be assigned to the Senior Center W ork Group, as will my aide, Jessica Gies.

he was there in the beginning, at the organizational charter meeting that a few years later led to the creation of one of Lexington’s most popular features – the Arboretum, also known as the State Botanical Garden of Kentucky. Dorotha Smith Oatts recalls that she was “very much involved in saying, ‘W e need an arboretum.’” “Very much involved” is an understatement for this for mer educator, now in her 80s, who exemplifies the enthusiastic volunteer spirit of the Arboretum. The 100-acre facility opened in 1991, created jointly by the city of Lexington and the University of Kentucky, on campus farmland where cows once grazed. “I thought there was a need for people of all ages, men and women, to become familiar with and enjoy outdoor living, and to get some exercise,” Oatts said. It has tur ned out to be much more than that. Through their personal financial support, fundraising and hands-on activism, Arboretum volunteers, especially Oatts, have helped tur n the grounds into a surprising green oasis in the middle of the city. The landscape features the Kentucky Children’s Garden, a gazebo, stone fences, fountains and a fish pond, as well as rose, perennial, annual and vegetable gardens, an ecologicallyrestored woods, and much more. “There was no way in the world to know back at the beginning that it would be such a place today,” Oatts said. “It gets better every year.” In honor of her dedication and for her matching gift, the Arboretum unveiled the Dorotha Smith Oatts Visitors Center in 2002.

chevy chaser magazine september 2013

“It made a big difference because we could now hold classes and not cancel them because of bad weather,” remarked Marcia Farris, the Arboretum director for the past 14 years. Recently, a new fundraising ef fort, The Arboretum Legacy Campaign, was announced with the goal of raising $1.2 million to enhance the Arboretum – $1 million would go toward the construction of Phase 2 of the visitor center; $200,000 would be for an endowment for the programming and the facilities. Oatts has pledged a dollar -for-dollar challenge of $250,000 to go toward the visitor center expansion, as well as a $100,000 match for the endowment. Born near Owingsville in Bath County, Oatts grew up on a far m. But originally, her professional career seemed geared more toward the indoors than the outdoors. A UK graduate with a degree in home economics, Oatts went on to teach that curriculum in high school in Bardstown. Later, in Somerset, she monitored home economics programs in schools throughout Southeastern Kentucky for the education department. Oatts enthusiastically promoted what was then a popular program for girls: Future Homemakers of America. Oatts retired and in 1990 moved to Lexington. She immediately attached herself to the fledgling Arboretum project and hasn’t let go. “The Arboretum is my full-time family. I spend a lot of time with everyone there,” she said. The Arboretum will host Here W e Grow Again: Gala in the Garden from 4 7 p.m. Sept. 15. Proceeds from the event will go toward the expansion of the visitor center. Festivities include food, drinks, music and a silent auction.

n September, the Lexington Habitat for Humanity marks a quarter -century since founding members of the group handed the first family their keys. The local chapter of the inter national charity was launched by members of the Golden Kiwanis Club, and builds and sells homes to low-income families with the hopes of improving the lives of individuals and the city. One common misconception about Habitat’s work is that families are given the homes that the community builds, says Tina Pugel, head of community outreach at Lexington Habitat. “Nothing could be further from the truth,” she said. “They have to work for it, probably more than you or I.” Homeowners who pass the rigor ous financial screening carry a no-interest mortgage for 20 to 30 years. T o qualify, they must take 13 weeks of courses on maintaining a house, and are required to spend a total of 250 to 500 hours working for Habitat, 100 of which on their own home. The average mortgage payment is around $350 to $450 each month. The money families save from their previous rent bills (which can be twice as much as the average Habitat mortgage) doesn’t just help them – it goes back into their neighborhoods. “What we’re learning is that many of them use the extra money to do so many things – they get out of debt, they send their kids to school, they go back and complete their education,” Pugel said. “So they’re trying to use the savings in wiser ways. “These families become economically viable in our community, they give back to the community; they pay their mortgage, they pay their taxes. They just become more involved.” Pugel said a recent Lexington Habitat survey found that after being placed in their homes, many people held the same job for five years – some for as long as 20 years. Lexington Habitat buys many of its own lots, and the city of Lexington provides the or ganization with plots of land on which to build, and often, Habitat homes have the effect of dressing up a formerly rough block. “We have streets that we have purchased lots on, and once we put Habitat houses there, it sort of becomes

a Habitat community,” Pugel said. Twenty-five years into the project, Lexington Habitat has helped close to 400 families get into homes of their own, and almost all (around 90 per cent) of the families still live in their houses, some of whom have paid of f their mortgages. A well-known outlet for church, school and business groups looking to volunteer, Lexington Habitat logged close to 100,000 hours of volunteer labor last year between construction at housing sites and ReStore, a retail outlet on Southland Drive that sells donated home furnishings and building materials to benefit the organization. With a little help from continued volunteer dedication and sponsorship, Pugel hopes the group can continue to make a difference, for families and for Lexington, for another 25 years. To celebrate the organization’s first 25 years, Habitat will be hosting an event 2 - 5 p.m. Sept. 22 at the Lyric Theater where, inside, historic displays will chart the development of the group and its homes. Lexington Habitat’s ReStore will install a small putt-putt course inside the theater , constructed from donated materials. Lexington Habitat, partnering with LexTran’s Colt T rolley, will also of fer free tours of a Habitat community, which includes 45 homes over a sevenblock radius near the Lyric. Overall, Pugel hopes the anniver sary event will help people realize how much work and cooperation goes into building a home for the community’s needy families. “The visual of seeing how many partners it takes to build homes, how many homes we’ve built – I think all of that will make a huge impact on people understanding who we are,” she said.

as the community theatre. “The people who live in the Bell Court area, their kids will play [in the park], they’ll walk their dogs; they will walk by and see what’s going on,” said Mylissa Crutcher, the current board president of the Studio Players. “Because something is always going on.” Studio Players is often busy, as it runs a full production schedule of five plays per year. When one production is rehearsing, the next one is auditioning. The high volume of the theatre means that the organization has a variety of roles to fill, both on and of f the stage. As a result, community involvement is highly encouraged, through helping with the set or costumes, to acting. Some of the actors have prior experience, such as in college, and others are ingénues to the stage. “For people who have a job and a family,” Crutcher said, “community theatre might be a better opportunity to get onstage because those dreams are closer to home.”

If history is any indication, participation in the Studio Players may become a lifelong journey. Bob Lynch and his family have been a part of the or ganization since the early ’50s. His parents, Jack and Grace Lynch, were involved in theatre in both New Jersey and Chicago before moving to Lexington. They sought out a theatre group in their new home and found the newly formed Studio Players. Lynch’s family has remained involved with the Studio Players for the entirety of its run. His mother was president of the board three times, and his father and brother also served ter ms as president. Lynch served on the board and, from 1968 to 1979, per formed in roughly two to three plays per year. Mylissa Crutcher also attributes family ties to her involvement with the group. Brenda Crutcher, her mother , served as the stage manager of a show in 2002. She recruited her daughter to assist the scenic designer with painting sets. Crutcher remembers her first task with the Studio

A scene from the Studio Players’ production of “Shot in the Dark” in September 1976.

Players as painting “many, many bricks on a porch.” Since Crutcher was trained in Design and Tech in Theatre from the University of Kentucky, the Studio Players also invited her to put those skills to work. Before long, she was working as the lighting designer for two shows a year , and once an entire season. Her passion for the or ganization quickly ear ned her an invitation to join the board. The board at Studio Players is a working board, which means everyone is involved in the shows in some capacity. The board is made up of those who are involved in the theatre and show sincere interest in the direction of the group. Crutcher served as president-elect in 2012 and was moved to her current position in June of this year . She is responsible for of ficiating meetings and trying to get everyone on the same page. “When decisions have to be made,” she said, “you have to look at everyone’s input and try to be a good voice of rea-

son in decision making.” The input of the community also plays a starring role in steering the type of productions per formed onstage. The Studio Players has several repeat season ticket holders and the board makes a point of choosing entertainment that will keep them coming back. “We rely on the opinions of our audience members and what’s popular with them,” Crutcher said. Looking ahead, Crutcher hopes the Studio Players will thrive as long as possible as a community theatre, providing a place for people to express themselves and get involved in the arts. “We want to continue the success of putting on good shows and having good people involved,” she said. “We want to keep bringing people and generations in, having them experience the theatre and wanting to be involved. That’s what it’s all about – being able to appreciate the craft, demonstrate that to other people, so they can appreciate it as well.”

FALL ARTS PREVIEW 2013

W

elcome to our annual Fall Arts Preview, a guide to upcoming festivals, per formance series, art exhibits and other arts and entertainment events. While there are scads of events and per formances on the following pages, the Fall Arts Guide is by no means an exhaustive list of what every arts or ganization in town is up to for the next few months. We don’t have the resources to put that information in print. But we do have the ways and the means to put that infor mation online with our newest media of fering: www.tadoo.com. The site, launched in 2012, is a one-stop shop for arts and entertainment news and events in the Lexington area. Updated daily, tadoo.com also features local artist profiles, contests, videos and more. One of the most versatile features of tadoo.com is the site’s seamless interactive capabilities; if you are hosting an event and want to have it listed on the site, it’s a quick and painless process (see bottom left). Moreover, if you’re an arts or ganization and you don’t see your programming listed on the following pages, we’d love to get that information listed on tadoo.com quickly. And, if you happen to be involved with a diligent outfit that plans out events well in advance, go ahead and get them posted, it’ll put you on our radar when we’re compiling the 2014 Fall Arts Preview.

Lang Lang will play the Singletary Center on Feb. 9, 2014, as part of the venues Signature Series.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommends that everyone get vaccinated annually against seasonal influenza. Vaccines are the single best way to protect yourself from getting the flu. Even otherwise healthy people may get sick with the flu and easily spread it to others. Getting vaccinated early provides the protection you need to stay healthy throughout the entire flu season.

As the saying goes, it was a match made in heaven, and since then the church has shown a number of exhibits of local, regional and national artists, as well as work from members of its congregation. Gornick says getting the church’s members to appreciate and engage art is a spiritual activity. “I find that engaging art is like engaging the parables, engaging the scripture,” he said. “It invites reflection, it invites thinking, and it invites some discernment.” The church’s approach to art and the gallery have been popular , so much so that Gornick sees a genial uproar between the times exhibits are being changed. “You can’t underestimate the sort of complaint when there’s no art hanging,”

Gornick laughed. “I think the congregation has to lear n that sometimes there’s going to be blank walls.”

Who are some of your favorite fashion designers and inspirational figures? My favorite fashion designer has to be Alexander McQueen, everything he makes are more like pieces of art. I'm inspired by everyone that works with the LFC, they're all extremely talented and driven people and have been great to work with. How would you describe the collection you are currently working on? I love doing women’s wear . In the past I’ve done a lot of crazier outfits, but this year I’m gearing more toward the working age, because I got a “real job” and feel like I don’t have anything to wear. I’m working a lot with some wools and some silks, some older fabrics. For my color scheme, I’m working with a lot of yellows and grays, and I feel like those are a little bit older and more mature. What are you most looking forward to in this year's Futur e of Fashion? I'm really excited to see all of our new designers, but I think I'm most looking forward to Jessica Lester's line. She was one of the first people I met in Lexington, and I've got to watch her grow as a designer. This year will be her first year showing a line in the Future of Fashion. What are you currently listening to? I'm really loving the new Daft Punk album. Last good movie you saw or book you read? I've been working on reading all of Daniel Handler's book's recently. I just finished “Adverbs” and “The Basic Eight.” I'm always open to suggestion for new books. Favorite local hangouts: I really spend more time than I should at Cup of Commonwealth – it’s my favorite coffee in town and everyone in there is super friendly. What’s something about yourself that most people don’t know? I make really good pizza.

Main Street Remembered E

BY HARRIETT ROSE | OBSERVATIONS COLUMNIST

xamining the numerous proposals for changes in downtown Lexington brings back to me how it used to be on a special day in 1937. The downtown merchants, suffering from the Depression, had devised a special day to help them sell their inventory. They called it Blue Grass Day; 1937 was the first observance but it recurred for many years. Blue Grass Day couldn’t have come at a more opportune time for me and my family. I had expected to go to the University of Kentucky in the fall. The tuition was $50 a semester; I could live at home (no room and board) and I was lucky that we lived here. I knew even contemplating going away to school was out of our budget. But I was a singer who had gotten a “superior” in the State Music Contest, and I tested very well in the first statewide test of high school seniors given in Kentucky. Brenau College (now a university) in Gainesville, Ga., had changed from a conservatory to a liberal arts college in need of students to keep the doors open. T o my great surprise, they came calling with a scholarship. Daddy said we just couldn’t afford it, so they raised the scholarship, saying that it was the highest they had ever given. Mother’s friend Jane Scherago persuaded my parents to give me that opportunity, reminding them that it cost something to keep me at home and that her daughter, Emily, was going away to Lindenwood in St. Louis under the same condition. So I became one of the lucky ones who were going ‘away to school.’ But, Blue Grass Day. Jane and Emily and Mother and I met at every store downtown shopping for our wardrobes for the first year of college. We started at one end of Main Street and came back on the other side of the street. We began at the elegant department store W olf Wile’s, where I acquired a suit, wool brown skirt and yellow melton jacket. I was still wearing it when I was pregnant with my first child in 1945. Then we visited B. B. Smith’s, and I found a Kelly green taffeta ball gown – too big for my 100 pounds, but the store altered it. We also visited Mitchell, Baker & Smith, stopping for lunch at the counter in McAdams and Morford, the downtown drug store. Then Graves-Cox for men and on to Purcell’s, the department store at the end of that side. I can’t remember all the clothes; suf fice it to say that we bought at almost every store and my wardrobe was the most elegant I had ever had and for many years after . The stores on the north side were Skuller’s, Kaufman’s, Baynham’s for shoes and Lowenthal’s. Furs were out of our price range, even on sale, but later I bought some. Then Embry’s and Meyer and Hinkle and on to Wenneker’s, a new shoe store where shoes that day were $1 a pair. Eureka – if they were pretty and sized between 5 and 7, I bought them. My feet today make me pay for that oft repeated show of vanity. I left out Barney Miller’s, owned by my aunt and uncle, and today the only remaining store downtown, still doing business at the same place and still operated by the Miller family. Of course, it’s only nostalgia, but I remember hats and white gloves for downtown and meeting everyone you ever knew. When people say to me, “Oh, you live downtown,” meaning my condo at South Hanover and East Main Street, my response is always, “No, downtown begins at the Herald Leader , and there used to be an A & P across from that. That’s where downtown begins.”
