GoodGiving Guide Challenge Seeks $1 Million

HEALTHY KIDS!

HEALTHY SMILES!

ow in its third year, the 2013 GoodGiving Guide Challenge officially kicks off Nov. 1, with a goal to raise $1 million for 108 Lexington area nonprofits in two short months. The campaign was initiated in 2011 by Smiley Pete Publishing (this magazine’s parent company) and the Blue Grass Community Foundation, as a means to educate the community about the work of local nonprofits, and encourage and facilitate community giving. Utilizing a centralized, user -friendly website, where even the most tech-frustrated donor can learn about participating nonprofits and move quickly and easily to donate, the challenge makes a special ef fort to target first-time givers and other demographics that might not be the usual suspects when it comes to philanthropic giving. “The thing we loved when we first heard of this model was how it utilized all the tools we already knew in our business — that is, making publications, building websites, email marketing and social media. We do this work every day,” said Smiley Pete Publishing co-owner Chuck Creacy. “With the fundraising expertise of the Blue Grass Community Foundation, we felt equipped to take on and succeed with such a project.” Starting with a goal of $100,000, the initiative brought in $205,000 for 58 nonprofits in its first year. The campaign more than doubled that amount in 2012, raising $586,000 from 4,106 donations, coupled with matching and challenge grants that were established with the help of local business to bolster individual gifts. “The contributions of those challenge grant sponsors make the difference between lemonadestand giving and real game-changing giving,” said Lisa Adkins, president and CEO of the Blue Grass Community Foundation, which has helped secure more than $450,000 in matching grants this year already from family charitable funds at the Foundation along with individual and corporate sponsors. The Knight Foundation, Clark County Community Foundation and Boyle County Community Fund have also of fered significant nonprofit challenges and matching pools for this year’s campaign. “With this kind of starting boost, we expect to not only meet but exceed our $1 million goal on behalf of the 108 participating nonprofits,” Adkins said. While most donors give because they believe in the work of the or ganization, rewards for donors, which range from theater passes, massages and free meals to pottery and cooking classes, private tours and dinners, serve to encourage first-time, additional and increased giving. New to the 2013 campaign, donors will “shop” for more individualized gifts rather than receive a set package of rewards for each giving level, with a diverse collection of prizes and rewards from local area restaurants, retailers and businesses at every level of giving. The GoodGiving Guide Challenge begins Nov. 1 at 8 a.m., with a kickof f party taking place at W est Sixth Brewing from 3-6 p.m. that day. New this year , a GoodGiving gala will take place Dec. 6 at the Carrick House, with all proceeds from the event going to the challenge. For details, tickets and infor mation on contribution packages for the gala, call (859) 225-3343, or visit GoodGivingGala.or g. For more infor mation and to donate to your favorite nonprofits as part of the GoodGiving Guide Challenge, visit www.goodgivingguide.net. Physical copies of the guides are available at Smiley Pete Publishing, located at 434 Old V ine St., or at the Blue Grass Community Foundation, located at 499 E. High St., Ste. 112.

NEIGHBORHOOD NEWS BRU Burger Bar opening in Beaumont Indianapolis-based Cunningham Restaurant Group (CRG) will open their second BRU Burger Bar restaurant in the Beaumont neighborhood, according to a release. The restaurant, located next to the Beaumont Liquor Barn, is 5,400 square feet and will contain seating for approximately 180 guests. It is estimated that the new BRU Burger Bar will bring 100 new jobs to the Lexington area. The original BRU Burger Bar opened in Indianapolis in 2011. The menu features an array of signature burgers, including the namesake BRU Burger (taleggio cheese with bacon, tomato jam, and caramelized onions). “We are very excited to be a part of the Lexington market,” commented Mike Cunningham, Cunningham Restaurant Group President and CEO. ”We look forward to serving this community not only with great food and service, but also as a community partner.”

Azur partners opening new Cuban, Caribbean restaurant Brasabana, a new restaurant focusing on dishes from Cuba and the Caribbean, is scheduled to open in December on Lane Allen Road in the former location of Friends and Company. “Brasa” translates to hot coals or embers, in reference to a type of Cuban and Caribbean slow cooking method, with “bana” being a play on Habana, the Latin spelling of the Cuban capital, Havana. The new restaurant is a project of Azur Restaurant and Patio co-owners, and will be a sister location to the Beaumont restaurant. Azur chef and co-owner Miguel Rivas, originally from the Dominican Republic, will serve as the head chef of Brasabana. “I look forward to bringing to Lexington the tastes and flavors of my native Caribbean region, and in particular classic Cuban dishes,” he said in a release.

Azur Executive Chef Jeremy Ashby said Brasabana will be a great opportunity to use locally sourced items with food from that region. “This fulfills my dream of fusing together the complex and layered Cuban and Caribbean influences with the offerings of the Southern agricultural movement,” Ashby said. The space was gutted and is currently being fitted with a new design and color scheme.

Dunbar violinist selected for national honors orchestra Eric Xiong, a junior at Paul Laurence Dunbar High School, has been chosen for the National High School Honors Orchestra, according to a press release. Xiong is a violinist and is the only student from Kentucky in the 2013-2014 group, which is hosted by the American String Teachers Association (ASTA). The honors orchestra is a collection of 100 competitively selected musicians who assemble biennially to perform at the ASTA national conference. The next gathering is March 5-8 in Louisville, where the students will present Symphony No. 5 in D minor, Op. 47, by Dmitri Shostakovich. The orchestra includes juniors and seniors who play stringed instruments and percussion, and wind students in grades 9-12. Gary Lewis, director of orchestras and professor of music at the University of Colorado at Boulder, will rehearse the students for three days to prepare for the concert performance. At Dunbar, Eric is under the guidance of orchestr a director Rebecca Goff.

Second phase of Brighton East Rail Trail opens City officials held a ribbon cutting to open the second phase of the Brighton East Rail Trail in late September. “The Brighton Rail Trail project has taken an abandoned rail line and turned it into something people can enjoy,” Lexington Mayor Jim Gray said at the ceremony. “This trail has a beautiful tree canopy that is like no other trail in Lexington.” The shared use trail is 12-feet wide and runs two miles, from Bryant Road to Walnut Grove Lane. The new section runs from Pleasant Ridge Drive to Walnut Grove and was funded by a combination of federal, state and local funds. Councilmember Kevin Stinnett, whose district holds the trail, said: “The new expansion of the Brighton Rail Trail symbolizes our commitment to improving community health and our trail systems throughout Lexington. It provides a valuable recreational amenity to east Lexington, while connecting neighborhoods and people to one another.” A rail trail is an abandoned railroad line that is redeveloped for recreational use. Brighton East is the first rail trail in Fayette County. Construction of the first phase was completed in 2007.

UK Indian Student Association member Srimathi Veepaman gives Himal Gandhi a henna design at this year’s India Day Festival.

The expansion of the trail is part of a larger plan to connect Brighton Rail Trail to the Liberty Park Trail. “As we continue to build these projects bit by bit we are starting to connect to existing facilities. The Brighton Trail will eventually connect to Hamburg and has the potential to go to the Clark County line,” said Keith Lovan, the project’s manager. “I am also pleased that we were able to preserve the tree canopy on this trail.”

As fall and winter months begin, housing will start its preparation for a holiday season slow down. LBAR President Al Blevins stated: “There are still year-over-year gains in the number of listings as well as 20 percent decrease in days on mark et. However, months of inventory continue to decrease – September 2013 was 7.1 compared to 8.6 in August 2013, which could indicate the liveliness of the summer months has started to slow.”

Parking for the trail is at Pleasant Ridge Park, 1350 Pleasant Ridge Dr.

The year-to-date statistics show very positive movement. Residential sales have increased 23 percent thus far in 2013 vs. 2012.

LBAR reports $143.9 million in real estate sales for September 2013 Members of the Lexington-Bluegrass Association of Realtors (LBAR) reported 829 sales totaling $143,933,741 in September 2013. September residential sales increased 23 percent from September 2012 (676). Pending sales reported also increased over September 2012, increasing to 756 from 670 – 13 percent, according to a release from the organization. The median sales price remained steady in September, increasing just 1 percent to $144,500 for September 2013.

TIME-TESTED COOKING

“THE HISTORIC KENTUCKY KITCHEN” COOKBOOK COMPOSED OF UNEARTHED RECIPES BY ESTHER MARR CONTRIBUTING WRITER

n early 2010, when Andrew McGraw was working as a student assistant in the archives of the University of Kentucky Special Collections library, he happened upon some treasures that would become the foundation for his first book. Tucked into handwritten family records, diaries and scrapbook clippings were dozens of old recipes that seemed to be begging to be re-tested and explored. “Andrew and I both had a shared interest and love of food and started talking about how fun it would be to actually cook those recipes and bring this part of history alive in a tangible way,” said Deirdre Skaggs, associate dean of Special Collections, who co-authored “The Historic Kentucky Kitchen: T raditional Recipes for Today’s Cook” with McGraw. McGraw and Skaggs for mulated a plan to assemble as many recipes as possible from the notes they found, which were authored by 19th and early 20thcentury Kentucky cooks. After getting the University Press of Kentucky on board with their cookbook manuscript, their idea started to simmer. The authors spent two years cooking, researching and writing. The result is a delicious medley of more than 100 classic dishes, complete with descriptions of each recipe’s origin and helpful moder nization tips. McGraw and Skaggs, who carefully tested each dish, also provide recipe modifications and substitutions for rare and hard-to-find ingredients. Accented with interesting historical photographs, “The Historic Kentucky Kitchen” serves up famous Kentuckians’ favorite dishes, such as John Sher man Cooper’s preferred comfort food, eggs somerset, and Lucy Hayes Breckinridge’s “excellent” fried oysters. Other traditional Bluegrass recipes range from skillet cakes to spaghetti with celery and ham. McGraw feels “The Historic Kentucky Cookbook” sets itself apart due to the fact that it’s not a “chefy” book. “By

that I mean the recipes were created or written down by people just interested in giving someone something good to eat without any pretension,” he said. “These are the things they fed their family and friends simply because they thought they tasted good.” It’s easy to see why McGraw and Skaggs wanted to further explore the culinary world, since they hail from food-loving backgrounds. Skaggs is from Vanceburg, Ky., where her family members were avid gardeners and great cooks. “I grew up helping my grandmother can fresh vegetables and eating big family meals at holidays,” Skaggs said. “Those meals are special memories for me. Obviously not just the taste and quality of the home-cooked meal, but what it symbolized for my family and the development of whom I have become.” McGraw moved from W ashington D.C. to Lexington as a young boy and has always considered Kentucky his home. “Growing up I can remember how Kentucky foods became ingrained in our family meals,” he said. “Country ham and

biscuits became a staple whenever we entertained.” McGraw, who currently serves as the sous chef at the recently opened County Club restaurant, first became interested in cooking while attending college – he and a group of friends would prepare lar ge meals together every Saturday night since their dining options were limited. Skaggs and McGraw hope their cookbook will result in others enjoying the fellowship of family and friends over a hearty, home-cooked meal. “I hope taking these recipes out of the archives and putting them into a contemporary published cookbook will allow this tradition to be carried out for future generations,” Skaggs said. “I hope it will also raise awareness for the general public about the importance of their own family traditions and recipes.” Added McGraw: “People interested in cooking and history will get something out of this book,” he said. “These recipes have context that reflect the history and tradition of cooking in Kentucky, and this is a state where people like their history and tradition.”

Southsider Magazine November 2013

“The Historic Kentucky Kitchen: Traditional Recipes for Today’s Cook” Deirdre Skaggs and Andrew McGraw will discuss and sign their book beginning at 2 p.m. Nov. 24 at the Morris Book Shop (882 E. High St.).

FARM TO TABLE:

COUNTRY STORE AND RESTAURANT DRAWS FOODIES TO CLARK COUNTY LINE

IT’S ALL THE GRAZE

BY ERIK A. CARLSON SOUTHSIDER MAGAZINE

Southsider Magazine November 2013

n a 130-year -old post of fice building within sight of the Clark and Fayette county line, Laurentia T orrealba and chef Craig Devilliers are looking to bring farm to table to a new level with Graze. “If you start looking into local food, there’s not a real recognized definition of ‘local.’ For a lot of people, it’s 400 miles, but what I want to say is for us, local is this county or it’s the surrounding counties,” Torrealba said. “The lamb you’re going to eat, I raised it. The beef, I can walk you to the cows. It’s going to take us two minutes and you can almost see them [from the restaurant],” she said. Torrealba is the owner of Colibri Farm in eastern Clark County, where she raises sheep. She gets her beef from the restaurant’s landlord, Douglas Owens, owner of Brookview Beef Far m, which is adjacent to the for mer Pine Grove Community post office along Combs Ferry Road in extreme wester n Clark County. Torrealba also gets vegetables from Crooked Row Far m, within two miles of Graze, and pastured pork and poultry from nearby Wholesome Living Farm. “Every day you’ll come in and there will be two or three items on the blackboard, so that way we can actually do stuff fresher, do seasonal stuf f, and that way we’ll have a lower inventory,” she said. Torrealba said the small building always hit her as an ideal spot for a country store or restaurant to serve the nearby community. Then after winning a home chef competition with her husband in the lead up to the recent Crave Lexington food and music festival, she had the idea of being the one to test that theory. “There’s such a range of people coming through here. There are construction workers from the pipeline. There are also ritzy housewives from Combs Ferry, and we really want to create a menu for those guys where they can grab a burger on the go and they can feel happy with it,” she said. “But for those people that want to come eat and sit down for an hour and drink a glass of wine, [we’ll have that too]. We want to do something so everyone can feel like this is their country store, because it’s their community.”

Torrealba, a native of northern South Africa near the Zimbabwe border , enlisted the help of her fellow national Devilliers, who is from South Africa’s eastern cape. The two did not know each other until a year ago when she noticed the name Devilliers as the executive chef on the menu at Bellini’s in downtown Lexington and thought he must be a fellow countryman. She emailed him to introduce herself and see if the upscale Italian eatery would be interested in buying her lamb, which she also sells to Lexington French eatery Le Deauville and Berea’s Boone Tavern. While Graze has a rustic feel and operators with a pedigree that would suggest high-end dining, neither T orrealba nor Devilliers want their high-quality fare to be cast as fine dining.

PHOTOS BY ROBBIE CLARK

Graze is located in an old post office buiding that dates back to the 1880s on Combs Ferry Road on the Clark and Fayette county line.

The daily blackboard menu will always feature a lamb or beef burger and entrees in the $12 to $13 range. There will also be a meat case for retail purchase, but Torrealba said meat available for take-home purchase can also be fired up by the chef, even if it is of f menu. Devilliers is looking forward to being out of a fine-dining kitchen and the freedom Torrealba will give him on their menu. Graze has a small kitchen, and they don’t anticipate adding a fryer. “I don’t want to fry,” Devilliers said. “I just want to use coals and a grill.” Devilliers hopes to expand the grilling capacity out back of the building as the 15-seat restaurant expands into al fresco dining come spring. Graze also features the pastries of current Transylvania student Emily Novak, who Torrealba said has plans to attend Le Cordon Bleu culinary school in New Zealand upon graduation next year. For now, Graze is open starting at 11 a.m. with service running through an early dinner until 6:30 p.m., though both Torrealba and Devilliers said they will accommodate diners coming in shortly after. They are also considering opening for breakfast. Southsider Magazine November 2013

BIGGER FISH TO FRY

SMITHTOWN SEAFOOD AND FOODCHAIN PARTNER ON A UNIQUE URBAN FARMING EXPERIMENT BY LUKE SALADIN CONTRIBUTING WRITER

Lexington nonprofit and a local restaurateur are teaming up to show the region that ecologic responsibility and economic viability are not mutually exclusive. FoodChain, a nonprofit promoting sustainable indoor food production, is partnering with the recently opened Smithtown Seafood to supply the restaurant with fish and vegetables raised at a local facility using aquaponics, a food production system in which plants and aquatic animals are cultivated by for ming a symbiotic relationship. FoodChain Executive Director

Rebecca Self said that if the or ganization proves successful as a food supplier to Smithtown, it will help convince others that locally sourced food can be economically sustainable in areas with little agricultural space. “We will be able to judge our success by how many people try to mimic what we do,” Self said. “W e needed someone to partner in order to show that the model works in a for -profit environment. Smithtown was a perfect fit.” Perfect because Smithtown Seafood is owned by Ouita Michel, a well-known Kentucky chef and restaurant owner who stresses the importance of using local food sources and fresh ingredients. “That is the way I run all of my

restaurants,” said Michel, who also owns and operates Wallace Station, The W indy Corner Market and the Holly Hill Inn. “We are harvesting the [FoodChain] fish right next door, so in ter ms of freshness, you can’t do much better than that.” Both FoodChain and Smithtown Seafood are located in space adjacent to West Sixth Brewing Co. tap room, which is located at 501 West Sixth St. Customers place their order at Smithtown’s counter for carryout or staf f will deliver the food to them at seats located inside West Sixth Brewing. Michel said she toyed with the idea of opening a brew pub in the past but wasn’t sure if she wanted that much responsibility at a single location, given her

Southsider Magazine November 2013

responsibilities at her other restaurants. “I keep pretty busy, so one of the things I like about this arrangement is that I am just in char ge of the food,” Michel said. “I had always wanted to open up a seafood restaurant, so this was ideal. Plus working with FoodChain to help promote a cause that is really important to me was very exciting.” FoodChain currently provides four products to Smithtown: tilapia, lettuce, herbs and microgreens. Though these items represent a small fraction of what is available on Smithtown’s menu, Self said the operation is proving that alternative farming methods such as aquaponics are a viable supplement to traditional farming.

“This is really just an extension of the locally sourced food movement,” Self said. “If you live in a city and you want to produce local food, you have to be creative, but you can do it.” In FoodChain’s aquaponic system, water containing waste excreted by the tilapia is broken down in tanks using a series of filters to produce nutrient-rich water. That water , in tur n, is circulated into beds upon which the lettuce, herbs and microgreens float on Styrofoam-like material. As the nutrients are absorbed by the plants, the water is circulated back into the fish tanks and the process is repeated. The plants in the FoodChain system are grown under induction lights mounted on pulleys that are constantly shifting in order to provide equal light to all the plants in the system. Self said the induction lights use about half the electricity of standard growing lights. FoodChain currently uses six tanks to grow its supply of tilapia, which takes about six months to reach harvesting size. One tank is harvested each month on a rotating basis, and the fish are replaced with another 85 tilapia fingerlings, ensuring a regular supply of 150 to 180 pounds of tilapia per month. FoodChain originally put about 65 fish in each tank, but increased the number to 85 at the request of Smithtown employees, who were having trouble plating the fish because of its size and the fact that Smithtown serves all of its tilapia whole. “The fish was too big for the plate,” Self said. “Most people have trouble imagining that because most of us are used to eating fillets, but that’s not the way Smithtown does it.” Michel said thus far the monthly supply of tilapia from FoodChain has sold out very quickly — usually in a day or two. Each of the tilapia feeds about two people and costs $20. Approximately $8 from the sale of each tilapia goes to support FoodChain. “We’re really trying to get [FoodChain’s] production up because there is a huge demand,” she said. “That’s just going to take some time.” Self said while it takes about six months to cultivate tilapia in the aquaponic system, the lettuce takes about six weeks from seed to harvest. Some of the microgreens and herbs can grow in about 10-15 days. “We all need some type of protein in our diet,” Self said. “But our system illustrates the point that if you are talking about sustainability, we probably need to start eating more food produced from plant sources.” One of the tilapia dishes served at Smithtown is Tilapia Singapore, a whole tilapia seasoned with Szechuan salt and

what types of fish, meat and vegetables are available from local and sustainable sources, including FoodChain. “Because of the way we choose to operate, we may not always have the particular fish you want,” Michel said. “But due to the fact that we only use what is available, we have a lot of variety in our menu.” Some additional of ferings from FoodChain may be on the horizon. Self said in the coming months the or ganiza-

tion is planning to utilize the basement to grow mushrooms and available rooftop space to grow vegetables. “The goal is to make use of all the space that we have,” Self said. “W e’re hoping that Smithtown has a lot of success and that it draws a lot of attention to what we are doing.” Because the primary component of FoodChain’s mission is education, Self said the organization is offering tours of the facility to schoolchildren and guid-

ance to those interested in utilizing aquaponics for their own endeavors. She expects the educational component to pick up after their relationship with Smithtown proves to be lasting and profitable for the restaurant. “Since we are a nonprofit, we can take more risks and experiment with a little trial and error,” Self said. “That way we can help people in the future to avoid any of the problems and mistakes that we encounter.”

POPULAR FOOD TRUCK ATHENIAN GRILL NOW A REAL RESTAURANT

GREECE IS THE WORD

BY CYNTHIA ELLINGSEN CONTRIBUTING WRITER

lias Pappas always thought he might open a restaurant, but he never made a specific plan to do it. Y et, with the reception of a popular food stand, a passion for authentic Greek food and support from the local community, the pieces all fell into place. In mid-October, Pappas officially opened the doors to the Athenian Grill, the first brick and mortar restaurant based on the culinary concept of his mobile kitchen.

Southsider Magazine November 2013

Pappas came up with the idea of opening a Greek food truck in 2012. He’d just returned to Lexington following a few years in Greece and Miami and was out with some friends when he spotted someone selling food outside of W est Sixth Brewery. That moment tur ned out to be transformative. “That’s where all of this started,” said Pappas, who initially wasn’t aware it was permissible for vendors to sell food on the street, and thought that he could find success getting involved with the food truck trend transpiring in Lexington. After all, Pappas had culinary experience. He’d worked with local restaurants and a few spots in Miami. In addition, his family had a history in catering. He took the leap and opened the food stand in September of 2012, serving authentic Greek cuisine. One of the most popular items on the menu was the spanakopita, a spinach pie made from phyllo dough, spinach and feta cheese. The tzatziki, similar in taste to cucumber Greek yogurt, became a crowd favorite, along with the hummus. Regulars also kept coming back for the gyros. “We were supported by the local community from the very first setup, which consisted of one tent and two tables,” Pappas said.

Local architecture and design firm alt32 reworked the interior and exterior of the Athenian Grill restaurant. The company puts an emphasis on sustainability and repurposed many of the materials broken down during construction – wood from the ceiling became an upstairs table (left) and lath was transformed into a decorative wall display (far right).

With time, regulars began asking for more complex Greek dishes and booking the company for catering jobs. Pappas realized that the demand was there for a permanent Athenian Grill location, but he didn’t have the funding. He tur ned to Kickstarter, an online crowd-funding platform, and set a goal to raise $15,000. The campaign ran from May 8 – June 19 of this year and raised a total of $18,205. “Kickstarter gave me the proof that people wanted to see this happen,” Pappas said. During this time, a family member showed him a potential location for the restaurant – the for mer home of Belle’s Bakery. The location is tucked away on South Ashland, just across the street from Starbucks. When Pappas pulled into the driveway, there was a For Lease sign in the yard. “I left the house that mor ning not

planning to have a restaurant, and by the night time I had the keys,” Pappas said. “That was in June.” With the location resolved, he then contracted local architecture firm alt32 to design and alter the location. Initially, the plans focused on resolving space issues and ensuring everything was up to code. “We’ve done a lot of the work ourselves, which has been a fun experiment,” said Rebecca Cox, a designer and project manager with alt32. “W e ripped out a lot of walls and ceilings and opened everything up.” The company puts an emphasis on sustainability, and as a result repurposed many of the materials broken down during construction. For example, an upstairs table was made from wood pulled out of the ceilings. The decorative wall of wooden slats was constructed from lath once buried in plaster. Even the casework

was made from reclaimed materials. The firm also put a heavy emphasis on creating ambience with their design. “I think of it as theatrical set design,” Cox said. “You’re going into a space to have an experience. That’s our goal here. Create a feeling, an ambience and a nice space for the community.” The finished product is cozy and transparent, as customers can see every detail of the cooking process from the moment they walk in. There are just three tables downstairs, with outdoor seating available as well. Upstairs, the chef’s table can be reserved for parties of six, where guests can enjoy an exclusive dinner created and served by Pappas. The upstairs area will also serve as a Greek market, which will stock items such as coffee, spices and olive oil – all authentically Greek. It will also of fer inhouse selections, such as family-sized

desserts and hummus. Pappas is excited at the opportunity to offer a greater variety of Greek cuisine to his customers than he could supply from the food stand. “The menu on the grill is four or five times bigger,” Pappas said. “We’re adding more desserts, more dips, main entrees – famous Greek entrees, traditional – and we’re having sides like lemon potatoes, rice and roasted vegetables.” Some of those Greek entrees include moussaka, an eggplant and meat dish; Greek beef stew on roasted lemon potatoes; and pastitisio, a Greek lasagna dish. “From beginning to end, we want to serve quality, fresh, authentic Greek food, as fast as possible,” Pappas said. Athenian Grill is open 10:30 a.m. - 8:30 p.m. Mon. - Thurs. and 10:30 a.m. 9:30 p.m. Fri. - Sat.

BY ANN BOWE | LANDSCAPES COLUMNIST

nother summer has passed, and it is officially fall. Or autumn – this is the only season called by two names. Ever wonder where these words originated? Chaucer used the word “autumn” way back in the 1300s, so it’s been around for a good long while. Here is one story, with uncertain truth. We borrowed from the Latin autumnus, meaning “the harvest time of plenty.” This might be related to the Latin verb augere, “to increase.” Of ficially, the verdict is that the word autumn is of obscure origin. This season was once referred to simply as “harvest,” being the time when farmers gathered their crops for winter storage. In the early 1600s, when more people became city dwellers, the word harvest fell out of use. The terms spring and fall likely gained usage at this time, as urban folks started to speak of the “spring of the leaf” and the “fall of the leaf,” now shortened to spring and fall. (W orks well for daylight savings time, right? Spring forward, fall back. Someone was thinking ahead.) So now we know that “fall” comes from the fall of the leaf, this then begs the question: Why do leaves fall? Deciduous trees lose their leaves in more northerly latitudes to protect themselves during the winter months. Leaves have a lar ge surface area through which cold, dry winds could strip moisture from the trees. So, by losing their leaves, trees can conserve their moisture. Also, leaf loss puts the tree into a state of dor mancy, greatly reducing the energy required to keep the tree alive. It helps to know a little about how trees feed themselves. During the growing season, leaves use the plentiful sunlight to photosynthesize, a process that produces chlorophyll, which turns them green. It’s a fair trade: the leaves provide ener gy for the tree through photosynthesis and the tree feeds the leaves with nutrients its roots take up from the ground. But now that the days are getting shorter , the efficiency of the leaves is decreasing. At some point the leaves start to be an ener gy draw, taking more nutrients to feed themselves than they are able to provide to the tree. How does the tree rid itself of leaves each fall? The leaves don’t just fall of f, they’re pushed. As our days get shorter and colder, these changes trigger a hormone in deciduous Southsider Magazine November 2013

trees that sends a “time to go” message to the leaves. This hor mone causes little cells to appear at the spot where the leaf stem meets the branch. These are called abscission cells, from the same root word as scissors. Like scissors, they are designed to make a cut. In this abscission layer, the cells divide rapidly, for ming a corky layer that gradually blocks the transport of materials from the leaf to the branch and the flow of minerals from the roots into the leaves. We can thank this process for our beautiful autumn leaf color . The abscission layer stops the for mation of chlorophyll, which is replaced constantly in the leaves during the growing season. This is when the fall colors are revealed. Chlorophyll normally masks the yellow pigments (xanthophylls) and orange pigments (carotenoids), which then become visible when the chlorophyll is gone. These colors are present in the leaves throughout the growing season. Red and purple pigments come from anthocyanins. Anthocyanins are manufactured in the fall from the sugars trapped in the leaf. In most plants anthocyanins are not present during the growing season. Temperature, sunlight and soil moisture have a great impact on the brilliance of the fall colors. Lots of sunlight and low temperatures cause the chlorophyll to be destroyed more rapidly and promote the for mation of anthocyanins. An early frost destroys a leaf’s ability to produce anthocyanins, meaning an early end to colorful foliage. Drought stress during the growing season can sometimes trigger the early for mation of the abscission layer, and the leaves drop before they have a chance to develop fall coloration. A growing season with ample moisture (a condition we have surely met) followed by an autumn with warm, sunny days and cool but frost free nights, provides the best weather conditions for the development of the brightest fall color . So now there’s a third question. Why does a tree bother to produce anthocyanins? It seems logical for trees to remove all of the carbohydrates from the leaves before giving them the shove. But carbs are needed to produce these pigments. Some entomologists postulate that the evolutionary reason for expending ener gy to produce fall color is to war n pests. A healthy plant can produce more carbs, and therefore more anthocyanin. This may cause some insect pests to seek another host plant that is weaker and drab by comparison. Another suggestion is that anthocyanins may act as a sunscreen to inhibit the destruction of chlorophyll, help to prevent frost injury to the leaves, or limit water loss during dry spells in the autumn. Eventually, the leaves fall to the ground. Don’t rake all those leaves, let some stay to do their job of insulating the roots. When those leaves rot in the spring they provide much-needed nutrients for the tree. Suggestion: Mow leaves once with a mulching mower, without the collection bag. Mow a second time, collecting the cut up leaves, and distribute these as mulch. While fall is beautiful, there is also a bit of the melancholy about the season. Our gardens are winding down, flowers have gone to seed. The chill of winter awaits. And yet it is also such an abundant time, food gathered in, time to rest. And dream of the spring of the leaf.

PORTRAIT OF “STREET ART” CURATORS

JOHN & JESSICA WINTERS

Southsider Magazine November 2013

BY SARAYA BREWER SOUTHSIDER MAGAZINE

he title PRHBTN might be a play on the word “prohibition” – referring to the stigma often af filiated with the art forms featured at the annual “street art” event – but one of the primary goals of event or ganizers John and Jessica Winters is to make art more accessible for everyone. “There has always been this perception of art as ‘elitist,’ or that it’s only for the chosen few who can appreciate it or who seek it out,” John said. “W e love being able to help put works on the street where anyone can enjoy them – it really breaks down the barrier that galleries and established art shows can sometimes create.” A multi-faceted art and music event primarily concentrated on the weekend of Nov. 15-17, PRHBTN has a special focus on art forms typically found on the street, including spray paint, wheat paste, decals and stencils, but to be clear , one of the primary elements of the third annual PRHBTN is indeed a gallery show at Buster’s Billiards & Backroom. In the words of John and Jessica, however , this isn’t “some stuf fy art show” – PRHBTN weekend events include a Friday night party for the Lexington Tattoo Project and a Saturday event culminating in a dance party with high ener gy electronic artists Paper Diamond and Wick-It the Instigator. Additional PRHBTN events include artist talks and a showcase featuring local and regional street art, where the public can purchase and take home art that’s primarily relegated to the side of buildings or other public settings. “Part of PRHBTN is that we are trying to give these artists a legal platfor m for expressing themselves and making money and making art,” Jessica said. New to this year’s event is a public art component, something that was inspired in part by the local response to the large commissioned murals that German artist duo HERAKUT installed on two downtown buildings last year . In November, PRHBTN will bring in four internationally recognized muralists from locations as far as Portugal and Brazil to create large scale, permanent or semi-permanent installations on prominent public walls around Lexington. Owners of the walls – which include the large brick wall on the backside of the Kentucky Theater and the side of The Bazaar at the Gathering Place adjacent to the Lexington Rescue Mission in north Lexington – will be signing agreements not to alter the works for 10 years.

While the public response and support has been overwhelmingly positive, the organizers are aware that there is still a stigma attached to this kind of art, and that’s something they hope to help the public overcome. “It’s kind of controversial – some people are hesitant to get involved, because they’re like ‘I don’t want anyone to think I support vandalism,’” she added. “But everything that we are promoting is legal and with per mission.” One goal of bringing in national and international muralists is to ultimately help raise the profile not only of PRHBTN but of the Lexington art scene overall, John explained – as a result of their involvement with both PRHBTN and the HERAKUT murals (which were organized by Kremena T odorova and Kurt Gohde, but which John and Jessica helped promote and support), several business owners have come to the couple asking them to connect them with local artists for commissioned artwork. “After last year’s show we had a lot of requests for mural work,” John said. “In the last year alone, murals and large scale pieces have gone up in over half a dozen locations and they have all been done by local artists. We love being able to tur n the excitement around Herakut’s murals and the upcoming murals from Eduardo Kobra, Gaia, Phlegm, and Odeith into opportunities for our local artists.” Jessica is looking forward to the public murals doing what she feels public art does best: making people think. “When you see something on the street, it should zap you out of the everyday hum drum and make you think – whether you laugh, or are inspired, quizzical, or even disgusted,” she said. “If it gets your attention, I believe it’s done its job.”

PRHBTN Nov. 15-17

In addition to the installation of four largescale, public murals at various Lexington locations by artists Gaia, Odeith, Kobra and Phlegm, PRHBTN will host the following events at Buster’s Billiards and Backroom: Gallery Hop reception. 5-8 p.m. Nov. 15 Closing party. 8 p.m. Nov. 16 Gallery exhibit open to the public. Nov. 17, hours TBA. Details on artists lectures and additional event information coming soon. Visit www.prhbtn.com for more information.

LEXINGTON TATTOO PROJECT CELEBRATES A YEAR AND MORE

hen Transylvania University professors and community art activists Kurt Gohde and Kremena Todorova first came up with the loose framework for the Lexington Tattoo Project – a community art initiative asking participants to per manently tattoo phrases from a love poem about Lexington onto their bodies – they were uncertain about what sort of public interest there might be in the project. So they did what just about anyone looking to float a half-baked idea among their immediate social circles might do: they posted an inquiry on Facebook. “We thought we would maybe get 100 participants,” Gohde said. W ithin weeks of the post, sign-ups to participate in the project nearly doubled that expectation – and the poem, penned by local writer Bianca Spriggs, hadn’t even been written yet. “W e had to close it down after 220 and say we’re not taking any more.” “And people ignored us,” Todorova said. She added that when they first created the Facebook event last October , neither she, Gohde or the participants had any idea what shape the project would ultimately take. The shape of the project (literally) will be revealed at a celebratory event at Buster’s Billiards & Backroom on Nov. 15, at which time the duo will unveil the “secret image” composed by the signature dots and circles that were integrated with the lettering of the 253 tattoos that have been issued as part of the project. “If all the tattoos were pho-

tographed and reassembled, the secret image would become visible,” Gohde explained, adding that reassembling photos of all the tattoos is a “massive challenge,” but a project he and Todorova are working on and hope to eventually complete. In the year since the concept was initialized, The Lexington T attoo Project has taken on a life of its own, giving Gohde, Todorova and all the participants in the project much to celebrate. In addition to issuing more than 250 tattoos that comprise a collaborative ode to Lexington, a coffee table book about the project is in the works, to be released in February 2014, and the project has garnered enough national attention over the past year that it is now being replicated in several cities across the country – notably, more than 200 Boulder residents are expected to receive tattoos as part of the Boulder T attoo Project in early November. The duo, who is known for their oftentimes quirky art projects which include a photographic essay of discarded couches and an oral history of local drag queens, has been amazed by the outpouring of community support and interest in the project, and the personal meanings that the tattoos have taken on with their owners. Personal stories surrounding the tattoo project, which was inspired in part by an increased consciousness of Lexington’s growing civic pride, are recounted on a blog kept up by Gohde and Todorova at www.lexingtontattoproject.com.

Southsider Magazine November 2013

While the Lexington T attoo Project originators are very much involved with the Boulder Tattoo Project and will likely be involved with a handful of tattoo projects in other cities that have expressed interest, including Cincinnati and Miami, the duo are working with the Knight Foundation, which has helped fund and support the venture, to make it an open source project that other cities can replicate at little expense. “We don’t want Lexington to have had something that was unique but is no longer unique at all,” Gohde said. “Instead we want Lexington to have something that becomes a stronger network.” – Saraya Brewer
