chevy chaserNEIGHBORHOOD NEWSPlanning Commissionapproves plans for newEuclid Avenue Kroger In a public hearing on May 23, the PlanningCommission voted to approve Kroger’s applica-tion for a zone change for a new store onEuclid Avenue. The property is currently zonedB-1, and representatives were seeking a B-6Pdesignation, which would accommodate thecompany’s plans for a completely new store,originally planned for 64,000 square feet.

The commission also voted to approve a num-ber of zoning variances Kroger had sought forthe B-6P zoning, such as allowing three exteriorwalls to exceed 100 feet without a change inthe setback; reducing the 50-foot setback to 25feet along Marquis Avenue; increasing theamount of space a building can cover on a lotfrom 35 percent to 50 percent; and reducingthe setback from 50 feet to 40 feet alongEuclid Avenue and in the back of the store .

About a dozen neighbors spoke against theplans, expressing concerns about the way thelarger store and its design would integrate intothe neighborhood, especially with the proposedzoning variances, citing possible traffic-flowissues in and out of the parking lot, noise andlight pollution for immediate property owners,and the store's footprint on the lot.

With the commission’s approval, the UrbanCounty Council has 90 days to vote on the issue .

Athenian Grill working toopen South AshlandrestaurantAthenian Grill, a popular Greek cuisine foodtruck in Lexington owned and operated by IliasPappas, will become a small brick and mortarrestaurant and market on South AshlandAvenue later this summer.

Pappas, a native of Greece who started the foodtruck last fall, is currently working on renovatingthe space, the former location of Belle’s Bakery,to fit the restaurant’s needs. Plans include com-pletely gutting the interior and giving it a clean,modern look with exposed brick walls.

The restaurant will have deli-style service, wherecustomers can order at the counter and sit atthe few tables inside or outside, or pick up fortake out. On the second floor, Athenian Grill willhave marketplace with a few shelves of authen-tic Greek items, such as spices, for sale. Each

night, Pappas will also take reservations for oneparty (up to six people) who will be served afull-service dinner in an intimate settingupstairs.

Pappas says the need to have a brick and mor-tar restaurant came from frequent requests forcatering services while he was operating hisfood truck, which would require him to have acommercial kitchen. He also plans on offering adelivery service during lunch and dinner, whichis one reason he was interested in the SouthAshland location, given its proximity to down-town and Chevy Chase.

With a large kitchen to operate from, Pappassays he will be able to prepare a larger v arietyof Greek dishes, which many people probablyhave never tried before.

“We’re focusing on real, traditional cuisine,” hesaid. “About 90 percent of our menu dishes,you’re not going to be able to find them any-where else in the area.”

Once the restaurant is open, Pappas says theAthenian Grill food truck will still be makingappearances around town, such as at specialevents and at the two breweries where it firststarted – West Sixth Street Brewing andCountry Boy Brewing – though on a more infre-quent basis. However, the new kitchen willallow the food truck to have a wider menu.

“This is actually going to help the Athenian Grillfood truck, because it’s going to bring peopledishes that they never had before,” Pappas said.

In an effort to help with the finances requiredof purchasing new kitchen equipment, Pappashas launched a Kickstarter campaign, whichruns through June 19, in an effort to raise$15,000. Contributors to the campaign will

CCBO to host “Sip NibbleShop Chevy Chase”in JuneOrganizers with the Chevy Chase BusinessOwners association (CCBO) will be hosting ashowcase of the commercial district near theintersection of Euclid Avenue and East HighStreet on June 29.

Called “Sip Nibble Shop Chevy Chase,” theevent will resemble the pub crawl the associa-tion held last November, only retail shops willbe incorporated into this June event.

Participating bars and restaurants will be offer-ing special food or drink items, and participat-ing shops will be offering discounts in theirstores. There will also be a schedule of musicand other entertainment at certain venues.

Those wishing to attend will be able to pur-chase tickets for $10 at various businesses par-ticipating in the event; tickets will also be avail-able for purchase online.

Check back at a later time for more informationon participating businesses, specials, hours andticket information.

The event is intended to be a fundraiser andpromotion for the annual Chevy Chase StreetFair in August.

Neighbors worry aboutadded students atCooperstown siteThe University of Kentucky Board of Trusteesapproved the continuation of a plan to expandstudent housing, authorizing the president todevelop three additional residence halls with1,610 undergraduate beds at the Cooperstownsite, on Woodland Avenue, by August 2015,according to a press release.

Currently, two student housing facilities arealready being built at the Cooperstown site,Woodland Glen I and II, which are scheduled tobe open by August 2014. When Woodland GlenIII, IV and V, which were recently approved,open in 2015, more than 2,000 students couldlive at the site.

But some residents in nearby neighborhoods,such as Columbia Heights, Hollywood andAylesford, are anxious about the effects thislarge influx of undergraduate students couldhave on the area.

Amy Clark lives on Kastle Road and has been

active in the town-and-gown discussionbetween the university and the neighborhoods.Clark says she and many of her neighbors lik ethe vibrance of the university district and itsdiversity.

“We want to be a little tolerant of people hav-ing a good time,” she says. ”But with this hugepopulation increase massed right at our bor-ders, we’re concerned. Last year Cooperstownwas seven low-lying buildings with 314 gradu-ate and family apartments. In two years it willbe five high-density buildings housing over2,000 undergraduates, mostly freshmen. That’sa lot to live with.”

There are issues the university will have toaddress, she believes. ”We’re hearing a lot fromSouth Hill lately about late-night revelers head-ed back from the Limestone entertainment dis-trict to the new housing around Broadway –noisy and even smashing things. Too much ofthat, and homeowners start to move out.”

Clark applauds the university’s campaign todraw more students back on campus with con-venient modern housing. But with housing ratesfor these premium dorms priced at over $3,000a semester per student for a shared room (andnearly $5,000 for a single room), Clark worriesthe rates of the new dorms might actually pushmore students to consider nearby off-campusopportunities.

(A semester is roughly four and a half monthslong, Clark figures, which equals nearly $700 amonth per student in a shared room, muchmore for a single room.)

“These rates are shocking. A freshman’s dormroom can run as much as the family mortgage ,”she says.

It’s only affordable campus dormitories that canreally take the pressure off the neighborhoods,Clark believes.

Art Bar opens in ChevyChase business area The Euclid Avenue location that has housedBlue Moon, Nu Moon and Fortè in recent yearsopened up under new ownership in April as thegay- and gay-friendly nightclub Art Bar (815Euclid Ave.).

With a large dance floor and DJs specializing intop 40 and electronic dance music, the clubfeatures drag shows, monthly theme parties,and male and female GoGo dancers. The clubalso doubles as a nighttime gallery featuringvisual art by local artists, with artists receiving100 percent of profits from sales of their art.

BY BILL FARMER, JR.5TH DISTRICT COUNCIL

As school ends and summer begins,the Council is in budget mode. TheMayor’s Proposed Budget is being

vetted by the entire elected body.Different from previous years, our situa-tion is better enough that as each “link”works through the process, their findingsaren’t based on cutting a certain amountor percent to meet a larger goal.

Capital HeadwayThe first big change is that with the

“Pension Consensus” we have the moneyavailable to meet the need for this yearand won’t – in my opinion – ever againuse bonds to pay for our Police and Fireretirement needs. W ith that of f the tablewe will for the first time in many yearsactually use bonds for longer ter m, truecapital needs in neighborhoods and parks.

The budget relies on added incomewith the hope of sustained solid jobgrowth. More so lately I agree with that,

but I am happy that the Council hasdeferred allocating our “fund balance” untilat least August. I am so happy to not becutting jobs and programs but still spend-ing every tax dollar as wisely as possible.

Granted ProfitOne of the benefits of a brightening

budget picture is more matching grantsthat leverage neighbor hood interest andresources. Recently the 5th District hasbeen most fortunate receiving Sustainabil-ity, Corridors and Neighbor hood ActionMatch Grants. My congratulations to theIdle Hour Neighbors Alliance, whichreceived two Sustainability Grants totalingover $4,500, as well as a Corridors Grant inthe amount of $2,270, for median plantingsand a community garden; to the FairwayNeighborhood Association, which receiveda Sustainability Grant in the amount of$2,500 for street trees and a landscapingproject, as well as a Corridors Grant of$2,270 to help maintain the integrity of thestone cladding on the Henry ClayBoulevard Bridge; and to the Lansdowne-

Merrick Neighborhood Association, whichapplied for and received $7,500 to installstationary adult fitness equipment inLansdowne-Merrick Park.

There are more upcoming ways topartner your neighborhood and yourselfwith our local gover nment. TheStormwater Incentive Grant Program willprovide that, visit www.lexingtonky.govfor more information.

Melding CorridorsThe Chevy Chase Redesign and the

Tates Creek Road Sidewalk projects aretaking shape, though longer than onewould think. On Chevy Chase, after work-ing to encumber Corridors and General

Fund dollars last year, real progress is nowunder way. During a recent meeting, theamount of background work was gaugedand the step-by-step approach being pur -sued was vetted. This was an original $6million project that we are still trying toget started with far less money.

After many months of working withthe Kentucky Transportation Cabinet, theactual bid for the construction of the five-foot-wide sidewalks down each side ofTates Creek Road from Lakewood Driveto New Circle Road is out with an enddate in November. With perseverance andyour continued interest, pedestrian safetywill be enhanced along the entire corri-dor.

BY ROBBIE CLARKCHEVY CHASER MAGAZINE

When Mary and Arthur Rousedecided they were ready toleave the suburban Hartland

neighborhood and move closer to thecity’s center about eight years ago, theyslowly whittled their ideal location downto the Ashland Park neighbor hood,specifically Desha Road.

“This street, somehow or another , tome was just magic,” Arthur said. “W elooked up the street just one block, andwe were like, ‘Nah, that’s too far away.’

“We just got infatuated with thisneighborhood. We thought it would be agreat place to live, and whenever a placewould pop up for sale, we would look atit. We looked at a couple on this streethere, and one thing or another was notup to our liking – the time wasn’t right,the price, whatever it was.”

At one time, they looked at an oldFoursquare home built in the 1920s onthe corner of Desha and Ghent roads,which through the years had fallen intoconsiderable disrepair, the couple said.Still, the Rouses thought the price wasn’tquite right, but after the economic crashof 2008, Arthur said the owners wereopen to a lower offer, and the couple pur-chased the home three years ago.

Then the couple found themselves ina bit of a quandary: do they honor thehome’s historical character by salvagingthe structure, or do they take it to theground and erect an entirely new home inits place.

They spoke with some architectswho were “insistent” that the home couldbe saved, but ultimately, the coupledecided that they wanted to tear thehome down and have an open palettefrom which to work, which would allowthem to utilize a number of ener gy effi-

cient features, such as geother mal heat-ing, Icynene foam insulation and alu-minum clad double pane windows,which may or may not have been possi-ble when retrofitting the old Foursquare.

“It was really important to us to beenergy efficient,” Mary said.

After purchasing the home, the cou-ple tore down the home quickly (and lit-erally – Arthur said the the demolitioncontractor was “amenable” to letting himuse the track hoe), which caused a bit ofa scandal in the neighbor hood, sincehomes being scraped away was a veryrare occurrence in Ashland Park. Manyneighbors were concer ned about whatwas going to go up in place of the oldhouse.

The Rouses were as sensitive as theycould be to their future neighbors’ anxi-eties, though, and tried to reach out topeople on a person-to-person basis andlet them know that the home they were

intending to build would be in keepingwith the rest of the neighborhood’s char-acter, only new.

“We really wanted to build some-thing just like the neighbor hood, justnew,” Arthur said. “Although, we couldhave built a concrete block fourplex andstacked it up with students and start rak-ing in the cash.”

The immediate neighbor hood wasmarked with a number of bungalows,and that was the form the Rouses thoughtthey would most like to emulate, at leaston the outside.

“We were kind of hip on the idea ofbuilding a house that was an Arts andCrafts bungalow-style on the outside andhad a moder n space on the interior ,”Arthur said.

Instead of having the typical interiorlayout of an Arts and Crafts home,marked by closed off, smaller rooms, theRouses wanted less defined formal roomsand more open space, and they workedwith an architect who helped the couplecome up with designs, which included afirst-floor master bedroom and a greatroom that held a living room, diningroom and kitchen.

The Rouses enlisted the services ofGreg Martelli with Fox Hill Company,who has over 20 years of experience cus-tom building homes, as well as preserva-tion, to construct their new home, whichthey recently moved into at the beginningof May.

Along with the ener gy-efficient fea-tures mentioned previously, the couplehad the home constructed with the inten-tion of installing solar panels at a latertime. However, while the Rouses’ homewas being constructed, an H-1 overlaywas installed over the portion of AshlandPark neighborhood that included thecouple’s property, making it the last newhome that will be built in the neighbor-hood (outside of any extreme situations).An H-1 overlay is designed to preserve

structures of historic, cultural and archi-tectural importance in Lexington, and aspart of the zoning designation, propertyowners must seek approval from theBoard of Architectural Review beforemaking many alterations to the exterior oftheir homes.

A few years ago, another portion ofAshland Park received the H-1 overlay,and when the old Foursquare home wastorn down, the initiative to have the restof the neighborhood identified as a his-toric district was re-ignited, and eventual-ly achieved earlier this year.

“We didn’t make that happen, but weprobably forced its closure,” Arthur said.“We wouldn’t have bought over here if itwas an H-1 overlay. Not a chance.”

Incidentally, when Arthur wanted toproceed with the solar panel project, hehad to apply with the review board, whichapproved the design, after making somerecommendations. He wonders what willhappen if, for example, he needs toreplace one of his aluminum windows,which, technically, aren’t in keeping withthe rest of the neighborhood.

“Is this a historic home or not?” heasked. “We should be exempt from anysort of historical questions because all ofthis stuff was built today. There aren’t anyhistorical elements to anything here, asopposed to the guy across the street whohas the same kind of house, but it wasbuilt in 1930. So it’s a fun question, onefor the lawyers to take up whenever thetime is right.”

Until then, the Rouses are lookingforward to spending time on one of theirtwo new porches – being social, meetingtheir new neighbors. Arthur says a strongrelationship among neighbors will pre-serve a neighbor hood’s character andintegrity with greater effect than limiting ahomeowner’s property rights.

“A neighborhood doesn’t sustainitself with regulations like that,” he said,“it sustains itself with neighbors.”

An outdoor fireplacewas constructed onthe side porch of theRouses’ new AshlandPark home (above).

The home’s detachedtwo-garage includesa loft space (above,left)

Ashland Avenue may run northand south in the city, but thephilosophy of Centered, a

wellness center which will be open-ing on the street in June, is most def-initely “east meets west.”

Centered, located at 309 N.Ashland Ave., is described as a holis-tic community center interested insupporting, educating and inspiringpeople through the moving, visualand healing arts.

“It’s finding cooperation betweenEastern and Western thought and phi-losophy in a holistic way. It’sapproaching a person by looking atthe big picture, the whole picture,”explained owner Lauren Higdon.

“In opening this center , insteadof just looking at it as a way to makemoney, the holistic way of thinking

is: ‘How does this af fect my commu-nity, my children and many othervariables.’”

Higdon’s professional back-ground goes back a dozen years andincludes experience with martial arts,Tai Chi and Shiatsu. She went to mas-sage therapy school and appreciatedthe holistic aspects of the field. Since2002, she has taught at LexingtonHealing Arts and attended their 2011yoga teacher training program. She’salso had a private practice calledFamily Bodyworks.

Higdon and about 20 other asso-ciates worked together to openCentered, the latest in a series of fit-ness-related businesses to haveopened in the Kenwick and Mentelleneighborhoods, bounded roughly byNorth Ashland, National and W altonAvenues. Walker Properties is reno-vating many of the old buildings,such as the one Centered moved into.

GETTING YOURSELF CENTEREDA COMMUNITY WELLNESS CENTER, AND MUCH MORE, OPENING ON NORTH ASHLAND AVENUE

The space is multi-functional. Whenyou enter, there’s a 1,000 square foot cre-ative space with a walk-up, made-to-order juice bar called Squeeze. “W e arelooking at juice as another way for peo-ple to heal. There is so much researchlately about juices cleansing your body,”Higdon says.

The center of the building is for retailand wellness products for the generalpublic, like exercise balls, yoga mats,organic creams, but also items for whatHigdon calls “our community of healers,”like massage therapists and instructors.

There’s what is called a round room,or space for people of all ages to comeand “make art.” Kids can use it while theirparent or guardian is taking a class orreceiving treatment. Local artists will alsoteach classes, some of them free ofcharge. There will be a resource library.

Further inside lies one of the lar geststudios in the city that’s designed foreverything from yoga to martial arts, hulahooping, drumming, kids’ classes, work-shops and much more.

The back of the building featurestreatment rooms with therapists who areindependent contractors. Some will usenon-traditional methods such asCranioSacral Therapy and Thai massage.

“To treat holistically is to look at notonly what the person presents at thatmoment but how they’re eating, whatkind of lifestyle they have, where theywork, the kind of environmental factorsthey’re exposed to,” Higdon said.

Joshua Saxton, Centered’s operationsmanager, calls the place a “communitywellness center.”

“I’m extremely excited. Lauren and Ihave talked about this for a year and ahalf. I’ve been involved in the massageand yoga community since moving herein 1996, and other therapists and I havedreamed of one center that of fers peoplemany treatment modalities. Now we’remaking it a reality.”

Matthew Higdon, Lauren Higdon’sbrother, helped develop the idea. “It’sexciting,” he said. “It’s bringing together agroup of people who are passionateabout what they’re doing. Many servicesare aligned in one building in a way that’snever been done before in Lexington.”

On the business side, Matthew saysall therapists and instructors coming toCentered bring established clientele. “So itwasn’t shaky if we didn’t get a hundredpeople walking through the door on thefirst day,” he said.

Lauren Higdon, a Lexington native,

says it’s special to be based here. “I havealways wanted to live in a neighbor hoodlike this. National A venue, I’ve literallybeen dreaming of that street since I was achild.” She envisioned a potential busi-ness opportunity in the area, saw a busi-ness sign for Walker Properties, called co-owner Greg Walker and “pestered him,”as she puts it, with dreams and schemesfor Centered. Now, Higdon lives, worksand sends her two sons to school all with-in a few blocks.

“I’ve always wanted to have my ownbusiness. My grandparents had a whole-sale toy business and my father also hada business. It feels like it comes naturally,”she said. “Now I have one I really believein and can help my community andmyself.”

The Walker Properties reuse develop-ment plan for the neighbor hood coversabout 12 acres. “This is a very excitingtime for current tenants and surroundingresidents of the area,” said a message onWalker Properties’ website.

“I love what the Walkers are doing inreclaiming part of Lexington and bringingit up to a new level with all these fitnessfacilities,” Saxton said. “We want to inter-act and cooperate with all of theseplaces.”

Gut CheckBY SHEILA KALAS | FITNESS COLUMNIST

To contrast last month’s column about our genetic makeup and our dispo-sition to exercise, I would like to discuss infor mation from another articlethat was in “The Economist” magazine (August 12, 2012), called “The

human microbiome: Me, myself, us.This article discussed how science is going beyond our genetic make-up and

is looking at our bodies as ecosystems. This outlook is due to the increasingimportance and relevance that scientists are finding in the trillions of bacteria thatlive in and on our body. These bacteria (collectively called the human microbio-me) are a large part of us. Scientists like to think of the microbiome as anotherorgan of the body, one that we are lear ning has many important roles. Most ofthe bacteria I am addressing is the bacteria in our gut.

Although there are millions of bacteria, scientists have put them into about100 large groups, called “phyla.” Human bacteria is made up mainly of four ofthese groups: Actinobacteria, Bacteroidetes, Fir micutes and Proteobacteria (noneed to memorize this).

Basically, you can think of bacteria as bugs that live off of us. There are goodbugs, which help us live healthy and productive lives, and there are bad bugs,which cause infections. In a per fect world, we keep a well-balanced ecosystembetween our bodies and the good bugs.

The trouble is our ecosystems are not always well-balanced. When theecosystem of the body gets out of whack, our bacteria gets out whack and badstuff happens. Science is worried our environment is increasingly causing ourecosystems to get out of whack.

We are just beginning to explore this area of science, but we have identifiedthat changes in our bacteria can lead to changes in our bodies that increase therisk for many chronic diseases, such as obesity, heart disease, diabetes, multiplesclerosis, even autism.

For example, in 2006, Dr. Jeffery Gordon, of Washington University, discov-ered that there is a dif ference in the bacterial make up in the guts of thinAmericans versus obese Americans. Obese people had more Firmicutes and lessBacteroidetes than thin people. When he put obese people on a diet, as theybecame thinner, their bacteria changed to match those of the thin people.

He also studied twins in Malawi. Each of the pairs of twins he studied (317pairs) ate similar diets, however 50 percent of the pairs had one twin that was wellnourished while the other was malnourished. Further study showed this was dueto a difference in the bacteria content of their gut, proving that individuals can eatthe same thing and their bodies do very dif ferent things with that same food.

The “bugs” in our body are showing scientists that they af fect our nutrition-al health, as well as the development of many other chronic diseases. How weuse food, what we absorb, what enzymes we produce, block or interrupt dependa lot on the bacteria in our individual ecosystem that is our body.

So, can we just change the bacteria in our gut and expect to get thin or cureour diabetes and heart disease? Science is just beginning to research this concept,but the mass market has been on this train for several years. Take yogurt for exam-ple. For years, companies that sell yogurt have been telling consumers that eatingtheir product added beneficial bacteria to your gut. Is this true? So far , researchshows that eating yogurt does not change the bacteria in your gut. However , theaddition of positive or good bacteria is becoming common in the medical world.

For now, you have to remember that your ecosystem is unique to you. It isclear that we all do different things with the food we eat, largely due to the bac-teria we harbor in our bodies as well as our genetic make-up. Spend more timelistening to your body and make choices that make you feel, look and functionbetter. Your choices may dif fer greatly from someone else’s, and that’s OK. If itworks for you, that’s all you need.

SMILEY PETE’S DINING GUIDE


BY BOO VIVANT | TABLE FOR TWO

From a big-picture local culinary view, Maria’sKitchen is a little-known, but deeply loved, NorthLexington eatery serving authentic Mexican food

to a loyal lunch and dinner crowd on a daily basis. Asmall, stand-alone brick building on North Broadway,with a walk-up window and covered porch, Maria’s isalmost a hybrid of the food truck and brick-and-mor-tar concepts, combining the best of both worlds. It’squick, easy and doesn’t break the bank – some of themost appealing aspects of the food trucks that havebecome so popular (and controversial) in Lexington asof late – but Maria’s has something going for it thatmost food trucks don’t: a reliable and consistent geo-graphic location.

Frequenters of the taqueria are primarily drawn tothree aspects of Maria’s: its authenticity, its deliciousnessand its affordability. To clarify, Maria’s is primarily a take-out destination, unless diners want to park at one of afew picnic tables under a metal awning that faces theheavy traffic at the intersection near North Broadway andLoudon. Two large menus are printed on poster boards

that hang near the window where you place your order(one in English, one in Spanish), featuring a healthysmattering of options that include several varieties ofgorditas, burritos, tacos and platters.

I recently stopped in to pick up dinner for two; anintense storm with heavy winds was brewing, so I wasworried that the eatery, which more resembles a tacostand than a restaurant, might not be open. Fortunatelythe neon open sign was on, so I placed my order withthe woman behind the window (whom I always associ-ate in my head as “Maria,” although I have no real evi-dence to support the theory).

My order included a cactus gordita ($2.50), a pork(barbacoa) platter with red sauce ($8), a poblano pepperstuffed with cheese ($3.25), a chicken quesadilla ($4.25)and an extra order of rice and beans ($2.50). Of all ofthese (my guest and I shared all of the items), the ten-der, flavorful, slow-cooked pork was the real standout tome, while my dining partner couldn’t stop talking aboutthe poblano pepper, which was lightly fried and stuf fedwith melty white cheese – not rubbery at all, as Mexicanstuffed peppers can be at other restaurants. On the topicof cheese, Maria’s doesn’t skimp – the quesadilla was

brimming with shredded chicken and white cheese.Otherwise, the quesadilla was fairly plain, but we easilydressed it up with some of the side sauce that Maria’sincluded in our to-go bag. The gordita – a small, roundcorn cake resembling a tortilla pocket – was stuffed withsmall, bite-sized cac-tus, red peppers andcheese; while it didn’tsteal the show, it was agreat snack-sized com-pliment to the rest ofthe meal.

Most of the itemsat Maria’s are easilyfolded up in aluminumfoil and served withtwo plastic ramekins of salsa (the green is mild; the redpacks some heat), making it a quick and easy option forlunch or dinner on the go.

My total ticket, which also included two Mexicansodas (grapefruit- and mandarin-flavored Jarritos), cameto $23.50 – an astonishingly af fordable ticket for a mealthat provided dinner and ample leftovers for two.

Only a few weeks after the open-ing of County Club, co-ownerand chef Johnny Shipley

appeared to be right at home. Wearing atrucker hat and a plaid shirt with thesleeves rolled up, he chatted withlunchtime bar customers as he deftlymixed a salad of fresh greens, red quinoa,radishes, asparagus and homemadedressing in the open kitchen.

The restaurant, a vision between threeinnovative minds nearly 10 years in themaking, has breathed new life into the oldconcrete garage in Lexington’s Northside.Built upon the concept of slow-cooked,hardwood smoked meats and locallygrown produce, County Club adds a newflavor to the north end of Jef ferson Street.

In a year’s time, the rented building,which is owned by the West Sixth StreetBrewing Company founders, was trans-formed into County Club by Shipley,partners Chesney Turner and her daugh-ter, Hunter Guyon, and many other con-tributors.

“It’s been an ongoing conversationbetween all three of us for the last 10years,” said Guyon, who considers herselfthe “production assistant” of the restau-rant. Guyon was for merly based inCalifornia, where she did prop styling forcommercials and music videos. She nowassists her mother with a local interiordecorating business in addition to herrole at County Club.

“This is a love affair,” Turner said. “It’sreally been done on a shoestring budget.... Hunter’s dad, Scott Guyon, was thearchitect, and everybody has been in herewith a hammer and nails working. W e’ve

been really fortunate with the people thathave worked with us.”

The County Club building for merlyserved as a storage facility for variousbread manufacturing companies startingin the early 1900s, but had sat empty formany years prior to being acquired by theWest Sixth proprietors.

The restaurant now exudes a whim-sical, industrial-like feel with tall woodenbooths, long paneled windows, a chan-delier hand-plucked by Guyon andTurner out of an estate sale in V irginia, abuffalo head from the original Buster’sbar, and antique-like silverware. CountyClub also features a front terrace patio, aswell as a bocce court and outdoor moviescreen set up for summer viewings.

“One of the things we always workwith is memory,” added T urner of theCounty Club design. “A lot of the ele-ments are from old bars or old Kentuckyrestaurants that have been tor n down– the places we used to love to go to, likeRogers Restaurant and The Saratoga.They were so atmospheric.”

County Club is the latest in a series ofbusinesses that have revitalized the northside of Lexington in the last few years.Guyon hopes the restaurant, which islocated a few blocks north of NickRyan’s, Grey Goose, Wine + Market, andaround the cor ner from W est SixthBrewing, will serve as an anchor for evenmore establishments to take a leap offaith by settling in the area.

“From the time I was born until I was17, there was nothing on this cor ner,”said Guyon, who grew up on Sixth Street.“Seeing it develop and watching peoplewalk up and down the streets and appre-ciate the north side of Lexington is soamazing.”

Shipley’s journey to County Clubbegan the 1990s under the tutelage ofJohn Foster, who at the time was theexecutive chef at Dudley’s Restaurant.

Over the years, Shipley went on towork for several other food establish-ments both in and outside of Lexington,including Jonathan’s at Gratz Park. In2000, Shipley decided to “retire” fromcooking and served as the head bar-tender and a part owner at the originalBuster’s on Main Street.

When Andrea Sims and KrimBoughalem approached Shipley aboutbecoming the founding chef at their newrestaurant Table 310 in 2010, however, hecouldn’t resist emerging from his culinaryretirement. Helping create the menu atTable 310, which also showcases local,sustainable ingredients, awakenedShipley’s desire to eventually start hisown restaurant.

Shipley’s decision to design theCounty Club menu around smoked meatsis based on the fact it provides endlessopportunities to be creative.

“I was never bound and deter minedto do a smoked meat joint, but it’s some-thing I’m passionate about right now,” heexplained. “Smoked meats give you aneven playing field in terms of across-the-board accessibility to all types of people.”

Well, all people except vegetarians.But Shipley has compensated for that byoffering daily salad specials with fresh,seasonal components, and vegan bakedbeans.

Shipley decided against a fancy,white tablecloth restaurant because hewanted to of fer a price point that couldbe enjoyed by a variety of customers.Most items on the menu vary from $7 to$12, with the exception of some specials.

Open for lunch and dinner T uesdaythrough Sunday, County Club has a bou-tique menu comprised of two smokedmeat sandwiches on bread from the localSunrise Bakery, French Canadian-stylepoutine, and side dishes of French fries,heirloom beans, and cole slaw, alongwith varying daily specials. The restaurantserves brunch on Sunday mor nings andafternoons.

County Club obtains all of its meatsand produce from locally based far ms,including Garey Farms in Paris and BlueMoon Farm in Richmond. Of fering dailyspecials on its select craft beer and winemenu, it is in the process of obtaining afull liquor license.

While it’s difficult for Shipley to artic-ulate his impressions of running CountyClub since the restaurant is still in itsinfancy, his main satisfaction stems fromthe interaction of transferring a qualityproduct to the customer . But after all ofhis years in the industry, he knows arestaurant isn’t just about the food.

“I’ve gotten more appreciation of theentire experience – the killer beer , thegreat music that’s on, and the lights beingat the right level,” Shipley said. “It’s not justwhat’s on that 12-inch piece of porcelainthat’s in front of you, even though that’sthe reason you’re attending. There’s a lotmore to it than just that.”

Heuchera is a great go-to perennial, not so much for the tiny flower spikes butfor the gorgeous leaf colors. They can work as focal points, garden bed filleror groundcover, and they are beautiful in planters. Oftentimes, foliage is

essentially evergreen in our war mer winters, though old leaves may need to beremoved in the spring. It’s deer resistant, too. New cultivars seem to be introduceddaily, much too many to keep up with, of fering an incredible array of leaf color andpattern choices.

Some heuchera species are native to Kentucky and some are native to other partsof the United States. Having local native parentage generally means that the plant willbe more suited to our soils and climate.

Here are the two Kentucky natives whose cultivars are available in great array atgarden centers:

Heuchera americana, also known as alumroot or coral bells, is common in ourmoist woodlands and rocky limestone outcrops, in part shade or shade. Note theheart-shaped leaves, usually with five rounded lobes. This is a spring bloomer .

Heuchera villosa, hairy alumroot, is also found pretty much statewide, in thesame habitat as alumroot. How can you tell them apart? The common name gives usa clue. Look for hairy stems and flowers. This is a late summer bloomer .

And here are two U.S. (but not Kentucky) natives whose cultivars are also com-monly available. Heuchera micrantha, also known as crevice alumroot, is a wester nnative from British Columbia south to Califor nia. It is very shade and drought toler-ant. Heuchera sanguinea (coralbells) is native to Arizona and New Mexico.

Cultivars with H. villosa in their parentage are considered to be more tolerant ofour hot and humid summers. While parentage infor mation can be helpful in choos-ing plants for your garden, many garden center tags don’t provide this infor mation.

Sometimes you can find out about parentage online, but with all the hybridizationgoing on, the parentage of some cultivars is uncertain.

It’s fair to say that, in general, heuchera appreciates some after noon shade toprotect it from our blazing July sun. Many even do well in that dif ficult environmentcalled dry shade. If you want to try them in a sunny spot, even moisture is essential.

Leaf color is the big draw:Purple foliage: H. americana “Obsidian” is noted for its dark purple to almost

black leaves. H. americana “Plum Pudding” features large, shiny, silvery, plum-pur-ple leaves with dark-purple veining. H.micrantha “Palace Purple” is an oldstandby, one of the first purple-leavedheucheras.

Bronze foliage: H. villosa “BronzeWave” has shiny bronze to red-brownfoliage and makes a lovely shade ground-cover. It is drought tolerant and does finewith root competition. H. americana“Crème Brulee” has peachy-bronzeleaves.

Apricot or peach foliage: H. villosa“Caramel” has glowing, apricot-huedfoliage. H. villosa “Georgia Peach” hasvery large, peach-colored leaves that turna warm rose-purple in the fall and winter.

Green foliage: H. villosa “AutumnBride” has big, fuzzy lime-green leaveswith long plumes of white flowers. H.Americana “Green Spice” has broadgreen leaves with a silvery overlay. H.sanguinea “Splendens” is noted for itsround, lobed, long-stemmed greenleaves.

A plant that is in the same family andis somewhat suggestive of heuchera is Tiarella cordifolia, or foamflower. This is aclump-forming native shade perennial that spreads by runners. Foliage is ever greenin mild winters, sometimes turning reddish bronze.

You will see heucherella at the garden centers. This is a cross between tiarellaand heuchera, and is often written as “X Heucherella” to indicate that cross.Heucherella has the amazing colors of heuchera and the incised, dark-patter nedleaves of tiarella, considered by some to be the best of both worlds.

The straight species are also very beautiful though not as showy. Planting thestraight species is better for our local ecosystem, since our insects evolved withthese plants.

Many of us associate hula hoop-ing with a backyard childhoodpastime, or possibly with a fit-

ness class or summertime beach activity.But for a growing under ground culturefocused on “creative movement” – atwhich hula hooper, fire dancer and artsorganizer Paige Hankla is at the localhelm – hooping is known as a passageinto moving meditation, and is a centralelement of a commonality known as the“flow community.”

As Hankla explains, the parametersof the flow community are ever-evolvingand interpreted dif ferently by dif ferentindividuals. When she first got involvedwith flow and creative movement –through a college yoga elective – shesays the ter m “flow” was generallyviewed as a combination of movementwith object manipulation, such as jug-gling, hula hooping or spinning poi balls(metal balls attached to the end ofchains). The yoga class she took in col-lege explored the growing notion ofconnectivity between “flow” and “anyactivity that you could get into a flow ofmind or a flow of movement – anythingwhere you can completely lose your-self,” she said, adding that those activi-ties can range from martial arts to visualarts to gardening.

“If you’re in the garden and all of asudden a couple of hours have gone by,and you’re like ‘what happened?’ – you’recompletely focused on one thing, you’renot thinking about your person or any-thing else – that’s flow,” she said.

The connectivity of mind, body andmeditation explored in that class resonat-ed with Hankla, who picked up the hulahoop within a couple years and soonfound herself hooping for three to fourhours a day.

“I was going through a bad break-up,” she laughed. “It just kinda hooked.”

Hankla soon connected with fellowLexington hula hooper Sonya Blades,who she jokingly refers to as her “gate-way drug”; Blades tur ned her on to themore high-octane flow activities of fire-spinning and fire-eating, which Hanklahas incorporated into per formances witha number of local flow per formancetroupes over the years, including


Although she prefersworking with aflame-free hoop,Hankla still likes theprop, as well as herfavorite, a parasol.

Today, however, she says she prefersto flow with a flame-free hoop, which shesays allows her to use her range and pullout skills and movements not possiblewhen fire is involved (thought she stillbrings out the flames on occasion, as wellas her favorite prop – a parasol).

Currently, she’s dedicating most ofher energy to or ganizing the secondannual PlayThink Creative Movement &Flow Festival, a weekend festival full ofworkshops, performances, live music andcommunity meals, which takes place atBerea’s HomeGrown HideAways June 7 –9. The festival is an opportunity to cele-brate the flow arts community and themany varied forms of moving meditation,Hankla said, as well as impart some ofthe skills and knowledge that haveenriched and opened up her life.

“When I started hooping, I wouldn’thoop in front of anybody – it really kindof changed my person,” she said. “I don’tknow how to explain it, except that itopened up these pathways, either men-tally or physically, to become a moreconfident, well and healthy being.”

She paused and then laughed. “Thatsounds really cheesy,” she added. “But Iwas never really confident, and then allof a sudden I was teaching people howto move their bodies.”

What’s the last good book you r ead?“The Night Circus,” I think, but it’s

been quite some time since I’ve had thetime to really sit and read. “W ater forElephants” stands out in my mind. I usu-ally end up reading a chapter here orthere of books on raw foods, health, gar-dening, or the like. My favorite magazineis Tathaastu and I read it pretty regularly.

In your opinion, what’s the best keptsecret in Lexington?

The sweet community vibe; the will-ingness of neighbors ready to help at anycost; the girl next door teaching food fer-mentation class; the strong support oflocal artist collaboration; always runninginto a friend. I never wanted to live inLexington until I did – then I realized thatLexington truly has an amazing, cohesivecommunity. The uplifting environment isquite inspiring.

Favorite way to spend a Saturday?Walking barefoot along the grass,

sitting on the porch with a freshlycooked breakfast collected straight frommy sweet hens’ coop, shopping andfriend searching at the far mers market,hula hooping, dancing, lear ning someaerial skills, or finding an adventure ofany kind.

BY HARRIETT ROSE | OBSERVATIONS COLUMNIST

Icould have sworn we had an election in November 2012. I remember voting.I remember the installing of a president, was it Obama? I remember com-plaining about how long the campaign season was in 2012. I must be losing

my mind. We seem still to be in campaign mode, if the ads on television are say-ing what I think they are.

I looked it up and found that 2013 is not an election year. I’m not slipping –politicians are just rushing the gun. As far as I know, only one candidate hasdeclared to run next year. That candidate is the perennial Mitch McConnell, whoseems to be demolishing in advance the people who might have the temerity totalk about maybe running against him.

Not only must we put up with this campaign for senator a year too early, thecampaign against Hillary for president in 2016 has already begun. I understandthinking ahead, but this is ridiculous and very wearying to the electorate.

Meanwhile, who’s running the store? Congress is working its regular threedays a week between vacations and nothing is getting done except a lot of votesagainst and vituperations delaying the business of the United States.

This situation makes a cynic out of me, whose earlier life was spent believ-ing that good things happen if the people want them to and that we have theduty as citizens to make those good ideas tangible. For most of my life, that hap-pened. Life got better for most people and many wrongs turned into rights. Sincewe now have 24-7 news cycles – and maybe because we are bombarded withnews – it has become impossible to believe in good things being intended andcoming to pass. So I, the eter nal optimist, am now a cynic.

That’s a fact of life, but more disturbing than my disillusionment is the cyni-cism of young people. I had dinner last week with my children (son and darlingdaughter-in-law and her daughter , my 35-year-old granddaughter). I’m deleting“step” from my vocabulary. She and her sister are now my granddaughters andMarsha’s grandchildren are my great grandchildren. The nomenclature is lessclear but emotionally more satisfying.

Anyway, I was surprised to find my granddaughter even more cynical than Iam. There’s something unfair about that. She and her generation should havesome years of believing before they have lost their illusions – or maybe theyhaven’t been allowed to have any illusions.

The subject for this column is a little dif ferent from the one I had in minduntil last Friday night. I was beginning to have that W atergate feeling (the “don’ttrust anyone” wariness) and coincidentally (maybe) on the TV was shown againthat excellent movie about Woodward and Bernstein who reported the Watergatemess. Thinking I was ahead of everybody else with that feeling, I was intendingto use it for this column. Alas, the Friday night political shows on KET made thesame comparisons even better than I was doing. I was scooped. W atching thoseprograms was reassuring for me: other and better infor med newspeople arrivedat the same suspicions I had.
