Southsider NEWS & NOTES
Stonewall Center second location for Bluegrass Farmers Market South Lexington residents looking for farm-to-table products will now be able to shop much closer to home. The Bluegrass Farmers Market will begin operating at a second location in the Stonew all Center (3101 Clays Mill Rd.) beginning June 15. The Bluegrass Farmers Market currently has its primary market in the parking lot of Pedal the Planet on Richmond Road, and is a different entity than the Lexington Farmers’ Market. The Bluegrass Farmers Market is a non-profit corporation of approximately 35 member growers, all of whom grow or produce their products within 70 miles of Lexington. With the products produced in such close proximity to the sale locations, customers are assured of the freshest possible products. Not only are the products not shipped in from other states, but for the member growers to be able to sell at the market, they must be GAP (Good Agricultural Practices) certified and Kentucky Proud approved by the Kentucky Department of Agriculture.

In the past, these grants have funded a variety of stormwater projects, including stream restoration, constructed wetlands, bio-retention, rain gardens, rainwater harvesting and pervious pavement installation.
The Bluegrass Farmers Market will operate at the Richmond Road and Stonewall locations from 9 a.m. - 2 p.m. on Saturdays. On Tuesdays, the Richmond Road market will sell from 3 - 6 p .m., and on Thursdays the market will be open from 3 6 p.m. at the Stonewall Center.
Construction-only projects, along with design and construction projects, have a maximum grant award of $350,000 with a 10 percent cost share for design phase costs. Feasibility-only projects have a maximum grant award of $50,000 with a 10 percent cost share.
Spring crops available for sale will likely include: herbs, lettuce, green beans, onions, gale, flowers and honey. For more information about the market, including a list of vendors, visit www.bluegrassfarmersmarket.org.
Class B Infrastructure Grants are due on Friday, Aug. 2, 2013.

Festival of the Bluegrass
To help usher in the 40th anniversary of The Festival of the Bluegrass (entry follows), Best of Bluegrass (BOB) organizers wanted to schedule a week-long, multi-venue celebration of bluegrassfocused entertainment.
June 6 – 9 Kentucky Horse Park Campground www.festivalofthebluegrass.com For the 40th consecutive year, some of the biggest names in bluegrass music (listed below) will converge at the Kentucky Horse Park campground for the oldest family-run bluegrass festival in the country, the Festival of the Bluegrass. Music begins at 7 p.m. on June 6 and concludes with a gospel show on the morning of June 9. On the days in between, music begins at 1 p.m. and runs until after midnight.
Lexington Jazz Festival 1 – 7 p.m., June 2 (Gates open at noon) $15 in advance; $20 at the gate. Children under 12 are free. www.lexingtonjazzfestival.com.
Started in 1974 by Bob and Jean Cornett, this event is attended by thousands of new and returning fans. At its heart, the mission of the festival is to maintain the roots of bluegr ass music in Kentucky and to honor the community spirit of evenings spent on front porches throughout Appalachia. The same spirit can be found in the pop-up “villages” around the campground, where the music spills beyond the stage to individual campsites.
Presented by the Jazz Arts Foundation and Bluegrass Community and Technical College in conjunction with Talon Winery, the 4th annual Lexington Jazz Festival features a variety of local and regional jazz musicians, with a national headliner. Concessions, wine and beer will be av ailable for purchase; organizers recommend bringing lawn chairs and blankets for seating.
Charitable Concerts Concerts benefit the charity listed. All shows are from 6 – 9 p.m. unless otherwise noted.
June 4 Southland Jamboree feat. Newtown, 7 p.m., Southland Bowling Lanes; Alison Brown, 9 p.m., Willie’s Locally Known.
Best of Bluegrass
Jazz on the Porch June 30, Aug. 25, Sept. 29 5 – 8 p.m.

This inaugural event will showcase a wide array of artists working under the genre’s umbrella, from bluegrass hip-hop to the traditional masters.

MOW BETTER. Don’t cut your grass below 3 inches.
More shade = less weeds. Longer roots = a more drought resistant lawn. Leave your clippings on the lawn - they make great fertilizer! And please don’t blow grass into the street. Grass can clog our storm sewers and harm our streams.

The new Furlongs has a lot of the similar trappings as its predecessors: horse racing decor (Walters also buys and sells horses, and other horse industry professionals have always been frequent diners at Furlongs), bottles of hot sauce on every table, and lots of fellowship. “This whole thing is a labor of love,” Walters said. “We created Furlongs.

Get Your Feet Wet with Water Fitness

BY ABBY LAUB | FITNESS COLUMNIST
n the sweltering summer months I am sometimes torn between sweating it out at the gym or relaxing poolside. I need to get my, ahem, V itamin D. Both are great options, but usually I end up cutting my leisure time short for the sake of bur ning a few extra calories. And now with a little one to take care of and make pool trips with, I need to be extra diligent about finding leisure time, exercise time and allowing my daughter to experience her own kiddie pool fun. Maybe I can do all three. International Fitness Presenter Jeff Howard has a few thoughts on aqua fitness. The world-renowned fitness industry veteran also happens to teach a few classes at Lexington Athletic Club, and his training for the instructors had me practically begging for a life preserver. Throughout the workout I began to feel more and more like a sinking rock than a strong fitness instructor . According to Howard, water fitness is extremely ef fective because water is 12 times more dense than air, so any movement through water is not only an increased cardiovascular workout, but it is extremely great at toning muscles. Think: increase your lung capacity and cardiovascular system and get good muscle-toning results all while putting virtually no pressure on the joints and enjoy quicker recovery times. “The body has to work more ef ficiently in the water than the air ,” he said. “So jogging in the water for 15 minutes is going to be more ef fective on the body as a cross training tool. It’s a great workout add-on, especially for the heat of the summer.” Also, since muscles are used to being pulled down by gravity, water is pushing them up — creating a dif ferent method of muscle training that tricks the body into getting different results. Have you been stuck in a results rut? Maybe try the same kinds of exercises in the pool. For me, I am always trying to maximize my time and calorie burn while also fitting in some fun with my daughter. Kids or no kids, get to the pool for some fun and your muscles will thank you. “For the summer months, while you’re in there playing with your kids, if you were just to jog in place or do jumping jacks, you’re going to get more results than just walking on a treadmill,” Howard said. Athletes in training also can benefit. Howard said he has trained athletes in the water and seen their speed on land improve by almost 20 percent when they added water workouts once or twice a week. “Also, the core in the water has to be stable because of the turbulence of the water,” he said. “You’re getting a workout that you don’t even know it.” Some easy tips from Howard include using basic pool toys like noodles or floaties and creating your own exercises with them. W ork on stationary movements, jumps, leg lifts, jogging in place, flutter kicks, chest presses, tricep curls and any other movements on land that you can mimic in the water . Water fitness is gaining traction for young and old, men and women. Howard said when he travels the world and educates fitness professionals overseas, water fitness is huge in countries like Brazil and France. Some gyms are even taking spinning and boot camp to the water. Aqua Zumba is already gaining popularity. “The way we teach water fitness is not what it used to be in the past,” he said. “It is more intense these days. This is not your mother’s water class anymore.” He challenged fitness junkies and athletes alike to add one day of water fitness a week to their regimen and see their on-land per formance improve and injuries decrease. Sounds good to me. Any excuse I have to get in the pool this summer , I am all for it. I may just be bicep curling my daughter out of the water .

PAIGE HANKLA, ORGANIZER OF PLAYTHINK MOVEMENT & FLOW FESTIVAL BY SARAYA BREWER SOUTHSIDER MAGAZINE
M
any of us associate hula hooping with a backyard childhood pastime, or possibly with a fitness class or summertime beach activity. But for a growing under ground culture focused on “creative movement” – at which hula hooper, fire dancer and arts organizer Paige Hankla is at the local helm – hooping is known as a passage into moving meditation, and is a central element of a commonality known as the “flow community.” As Hankla explains, the parameters of the flow community are ever-evolving and interpreted dif ferently by dif ferent individuals. When she first got involved with flow and creative movement – through a college yoga elective – she says the ter m “flow” was generally viewed as a combination of movement with object manipulation, such as juggling, hula hooping or spinning poi balls (metal balls attached to the end of chains). The yoga class she took in college explored the growing notion of connectivity between “flow” and “any activity that you could get into a flow of mind or a flow of movement – anything where you can completely lose yourself,” she said, adding that those activities can range from martial arts to visual arts to gardening. “If you’re in the garden and all of a sudden a couple of hours have gone by, and you’re like ‘what happened?’ – you’re completely focused on one thing, you’re not thinking about your person or anything else – that’s flow,” she said. The connectivity of mind, body and meditation explored in that class resonated with Hankla, who picked up the hula hoop within a couple years and soon found herself hooping for three to four hours a day. “I was going through a bad breakup,” she laughed. “It just kinda hooked.” Hankla soon connected with fellow Lexington hula hooper Sonya Blades, who she jokingly refers to as her “gateway drug”; Blades tur ned her on to the more high-octane flow activities of firespinning and fire-eating, which Hankla has incorporated into per formances with a number of local flow per formance troupes over the years, including

In your opinion, what’s the best kept secret in Lexington? The sweet community vibe; the willingness of neighbors ready to help at any cost; the girl next door teaching food fermentation class; the strong support of local artist collaboration; always running into a friend. I never wanted to live in Lexington until I did – then I realized that Lexington truly has an amazing, cohesive community. The uplifting environment is quite inspiring.
