The internet, the news, social media — they’re a lot right now. And while it’s important to stay informed, sometimes you need to take a step back and unplug. I’ll be the first to admit that slowing down and getting away from the headlines can be difficult, but fret not; Vox is here to help. In this week’s Spring Preview (Page 7) you’ll find more than 100 events in and around Columbia over the next four months. And if you really need to get away from it all, well, we’ve got some day trips for you too. Stepping away doesn’t mean you have to do something mindless. If you’d like to expand your horizons, maybe attend a talk at the State Historical Society or Unbound Book Festival (Page 13). But if you really are looking for options to let your brain rest for a while, there are plenty for you to try out. I suggest taking in a classic performance such as Swan Lake (Page 16) or, if you’re feeling more adventurous, the musical version of cult hit Heathers (Page 10). No worries if literature and theater aren’t up your alley. With all the events our editors unearthed, there’s surely something for everyone to enjoy somewhere in those 11 pages. So start circling your can’t miss events and stash this issue somewhere safe. You wouldn’t want to forget that exciting game or concert by the time April or May rolls around. But if you do misplace your copy, it’s OK. You can find the whole Spring Preview online at voxmagazine.com whenever you want.

Saved scraps
Local farmers and organizations collaborate to reduce food waste BY TYLER SCHNEIDER
PHOTOS BY ASA LORY
At some point, everyone has forgotten about a bag of leftovers in the fridge until it’s too late. But you can often make use of unwanted foods and give back to others and the environment. Many efforts to reduce food waste start at the local level. In Columbia, organizations such as the Food Bank for Central and Northeast Missouri, Food Not Bombs and the Columbia Center for Urban Agriculture help reduce this waste by composting scraps or preparing meals with leftover produce. According to the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations, 40 percent of all food in the U.S. goes to waste, with 97 percent (or 33 million tons) of uneaten food ending up in a landfill. The organization also found that roughly one-third of all food produced in the world is lost or wasted. On a global scale, Columbia is but a small dot, but the town is doing its part to decrease food waste. Whether

Members of Food Not Bombs gather at Cafe Berlin to serve a weekly free meal. The Cambridge, Massachusetts-based organization doesn’t just feed those who are homeless. They aim to serve a free meal to anyone who is hungry.
donating leftovers or composting at home, there are several ways to cut back on wasteful habits.
DONATE LEFTOVERS The Food Bank for Central and Northeast Missouri collects food and brings it to a warehouse, where it is prepared to be sent to any of their 132
partner agencies. The warehouse can hold nearly 2 million pounds of food and can be restocked every two weeks or so, says Food Bank communications coordinator Janese Silvey. Local farmer Jim Thies donated over 6,000 pounds of food to the Food Bank in 2016. He says his frequent donations depend on what he produces that week.
“Some weeks, certain crops overproduce more than what the market demands, and we go ahead and do the complete harvest with the intent of making a donation,” Thies says. The Food Bank also operates the Central Pantry, its largest pantry, which serves more than 10,000 people per month. Silvey says many grocery stores
in the area will ship leftover food they cannot sell in the store. “It’s food that’s still fit for consumption, obviously,” Silvey says. “These are things like blemishes, or they’re not the right size, so people pass them over.”
MAKE MEALS The local organization Food Not Bombs works to reduce food waste by making meals out of leftover produce. Each week, the organization collects donations from local farmers, gardeners
and markets and uses them to cook and serve a free vegetarian or vegan meal at 6 p.m. on Sundays at Cafe Berlin. The first Food Not Bombs was formed in Cambridge, Massachusetts, in 1980 by a group of anti-war activists. It has since branched out to more than 1,000 cities worldwide. Columbia volunteer Robert Morrison says his group is more focused on feeding people than protesting, though they still have a touch of their original antiauthority principles. “There are no leaders; there are no titles,” Morrison says. “Everybody is a
Meals served by Food Not Bombs are vegan or vegetarian. The group works to reduce food waste by making meals out of produce donated by local gardeners, farmers and markets.
volunteer. Nobody is compensated. We all go in there. We all chop together.” At Cafe Berlin, a sign on the front door reads: “Food is a right, not a privilege.” Morrison says Food Not Bombs focuses on feeding anyone who’s hungry, not just those who are homeless. Because of donations the organization receives from farmers, food that would otherwise go to waste feeds people in need.
COMPOST SCRAPS To prevent food being thrown into landfills, the Columbia Center for Urban Agriculture composts leftover produce by recycling the materials into a soil amendment with many useful applications for farmers. “We pile up a lot of different organic material that has various characteristics that create an ideal balance of products,” founder Adam Saunders says. In addition to donations from farms, Saunders says the center also takes kitchen scraps from households in the area. Donated foods are mixed with other organic material such as horse manure, crop residue and weeds to create the compost. Some of the finished product is utilized by the center, and the rest is sent to local farmers.
WHY COMPOST? Five reasons why you should become a compost convert: 1. It makes great soil
Compost improves the texture of soil and increases aeration for plant roots in clay soil.
2. Activates micro defenders Microorganism activity is stimulated in compost-amended soil, which helps the soil release nutrients.
3. Decreases food waste
When foods are composted, it’s utilizing these materials and recycling them into an environmentally sound alternative.
4. Naturally builds soil fertility Compost is filled with nutrients that can help plants and build overall healthier soil.
5. Reduces waste in landfills
Materials that could have otherwise been composted, such as food materials and leaves, often end up in landfills.

Cafe Berlin stays strong after break-in
The popular restaurant recovered quickly after thousands of dollars in damages On Jan. 14, Cafe Berlin, a staple restaurant for local musicians and brunch-lovers alike, was broken into, though nothing was stolen. Kitchen Manager Jamie Davis says the staff believes the break-in was a calculated attack, and damages were in the realm of $35,000. Although the invasion shocked the community, friends and staff rallied behind Cafe Berlin to help it quickly get back on its feet. “The bounce back was really fast,” Davis says. Once the restaurant gets a new soundboard, which is on its way, the cafe will be fully recovered. The staff and friends cleaned up the restaurant immediately after the break-in and were still able to host the scheduled show with singer David Dondero after borrowing sound equipment from PACE Youth Theatre. “I think it has got to be one of the biggest shows we’ve ever had, if not the biggest,” says server Martin Pope. Pizza Tree, Lakota Coffee, Harold’s Doughnuts and Logboat Brewing Co. were just some of the businesses that donated food and drinks that day. “I don’t honestly think that there is anybody in here that didn’t burst into tears at some point, from the kindness,” Pope says.

KEEPING THE GOOD TIMES ROLLING Despite the recent break-in, nightlife at Cafe B continues to thrive. You have not one, but two opportunities to stop by and catch some local bands this weekend.
Cafe Berlin regularly hosts local bands and national acts of various genres, in addition to serving breakfast and lunch every day from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m.
Barbara Buffaloe, a friend of Cafe Berlin owner Eli Gay, created a GoFundMe page to help the restaurant recover. The goal was $3,500, but within nine days, community members raised $4,521. Davis says the funds were used to cover the cost of a paid day off for the business and its staff after the cleanup efforts. The leftover money will go toward the cafe’s concert program and items to make shows run smoother. They plan to donate the rest.
“I was quite surprised by how much love there is here, which really I didn’t see it coming,” Pope says. “The people who love us really had our back that day.” During the staff’s day off, Yoga Sol donated an early morning yoga class. Afterward, they went to Logboat where Boss Taco catered a meal for them. “It was a growth experience,” Pope says. “The crew is tighter than I think it has ever been.”

As birds fly north for the spring, this famous Russian ballet soars into Columbia
fter dazzling audiences in Columbia and around the world during holiday performances of The Nutcracker, the music of Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky returns to the Columbia stage this May in the Russian National Ballet Theatre’s production of Swan Lake, part of the University Concert Series. Traditionally performed in four acts and running around two hours, the ballet tells the timeless tale of the swan queen Odette and her maidens, who have been cursed by an evil sorcerer to live as swans by day and humans by night, and the prince who attempts to free them. Although the ballet was not a critical success when it premiered in 1877, it is now a common show on stages around the world. Concert Series Director John Murray says that in addition to thrilling ballet fans, Swan Lake provides an easy way for anyone to connect to the art form. “It’s very

accessible; it’s a pretty simple story that everybody knows,” he says. “It’s just fun to watch.” The company that will present
the work in Columbia was founded in the late 1980s and features about 50 dancers, more than 20 of whom will perform in Columbia. Its artistic
director, Elena Radchenko, has kept the company focused on continuing the traditions of the major Russian ballets. The Columbia stop is part of the group’s four-month United States tour, which began in January. The group was selected to perform in Columbia through a careful search of available performances for those that are both diverse and crowd-pleasing. Murray says audiences can expect top-notch dancing and beautiful scenery. “You can’t beat Russian ballet dancers,” he says. “They’re the best in the world.”

Harold’s Doughnuts’ Michael Urban knows talent rises

arold’s Doughnuts might not be here today if it weren’t for co-owner Michael Urban’s grandparents. Harold, Urban’s grandfather, was a small-business owner and entrepreneur. Urban’s grandmother loved to bake and passed her cookbook down to him. With entrepreneurial spirit in the family and a cookbook recipe for a glazed yeast doughnut, Urban had the idea for Harold’s in January 2014. Urban and co-owner and pastry chef Melissa Poelling began Harold’s Doughnuts by running an online delivery service out of Urban’s home kitchen. Now, after two years in its storefront location, Harold’s features a complete kitchen with grab-and-go service, delivery and cooking classes — and it’s not done growing. Urban sat down with Vox to talk about finding success in Columbia. How do you create a positive working environment? Our kitchen is completely exposed. We opened it up so that everyone who works here, even if you’re at an hour that doesn’t have customers coming in and out of the store, hopefully feels like they’re part of the larger effort. In another respect, it’s so customers can see we’re not doing mixed doughnuts. We make everything from scratch.

What do you have to do to put together a good team? It takes an unyielding love of what you do, literally. Every day, you have
to be excited and determined and enthusiastic to want to put together a team, to want to put together a business, to grow it and see the future and get into the day-to-day of what it takes to make a single doughnut, to make a thousand doughnuts. That dedication, that perseverance, is probably the most critical thing. If it waned, if I didn’t like doing this, it would reflect on the team, and they wouldn’t be motivated to come in and do what they do. We would just kind of fall flat. How do you see Harold’s expanding in the next few years? I’m not saying we’re going to be the next Chipotle or Shake Shack in the doughnut bakery world, but I do think there’s space for that. Burger shops are a dime a dozen across the U.S., but there was room for a Shake Shack. Doughnut shops are a dime a dozen across the U.S., but there’s room for a higher-end Dunkin’ Donuts. What Shake Shack is to McDonald’s, I think we could be to Dunkin’ Donuts. We’ve already come a long way from making a dozen doughnuts in my kitchen. I set really ambitious goals, and I want to go after them rigorously, aggressively. That’s the road map I’m following. — BROOKE KOTTMANN PHOTO BY LUKE BRODARICK
