October in Alabama is one of my favorite months. After a long, hot summer I can finally wear sweaters,

jog outside without suffocating, and drink hot cider without feeling like I’m committing a faux pas, not to mention there’s a big party at the end of the month called Halloween.

In this edition of Madison Living, we’ll help keep you entertained with articles about several Madison treasures until the Halloween shenanigans kick off.

We’ll take you inside Blue Pants Brewery and the Clift’s Cove home of the Colvert family. You’ll catch up on the new journeys of a group of artists since the closing of their creative spaces at the art gallery 16 Main. We’ll show you a few places in Madison to find hearty vegetables, which could definitely come in handy during the Halloween candy season. You’ll also meet sisters Chelsey and Hannah Chaplin in our style Q&A and go up front and center at the Afternoon Escape Fashion Show for Relay for Life.

Have a happy Halloween, Madison!

Downtown Madison was home to several diverse artists until the unfortunate closing of

16 Main Gallery. Luckily, these resilient personalities are continuing on the avenue of artistic pursuit.

Michele Lee

Michele Lee is an acrylic and mixed media artist. With her business Michele Lee Art, she is currently working on a new body of work at her home studio in Madison. Michele will show her art at various regional shows. Michele’s work also can be seen at Nina’s Place Home Furnishings at 30175 U.S. Highway 72.

She created her Angel Paintings series for individuals fighting and surviving cancer. “Each angel has lost her hair and is now wearing an inspirational headpiece and praying for those around her,” Michele said.

Greg Lee

Potter and woodworker Greg Lee is staying busy with his business Glee Pots at his Madison pottery studio. He will be a featured artist for the 2012 Painted Bra Art Project, a fundraiser for the Liz

Hurley Breast Cancer Fund on Oct. 26.Greg’s The Persistence of Time is a

functional clock made of clay, antique tractor parts and a fragment from an old tree cut down on Madison’s Main Street. “The clock represents the passing of time and the change that comes with it,” Greg said.

Sarah Brewer

Sarah Brewer’s photography with Click Photo Designs is regularly featured in numerous North Alabama publications.

“When photographing children (or families and couples), I want my images to be fun, colorful and meaningful representations of the subjects,” Sarah said. “For this particular photo, I wanted to tell a bit of a story about my little guy who started kindergarten this year. I used a few fun props and waited until I got his true expression. Then, I snapped a memory that I will cherish forever as he begins his years in school.”

Angela True

Pick My Brains Art is the tongue-in-cheek name of Angela True’s business. An acrylic and oil artist, Angela now paints and teaches from her home studio in the East Limestone, Decatur and Madison

restaurants, and businesses exhibit Angela’s work.

Paula Dickerhoff

Paula Dickerhoff is trained in Zentangle, intricate images composed of repetitive patterns. This pen-and-ink artist owns Wanna Tangle and works from her Huntsville studio, hoping to find new studio space to display and teach. She teaches Zentangle classes at Hobby Lobby in south Huntsville.

“Even though Emmet is one of my older pieces, it’s very special because it was inspired by my mother,” Paula said. “As a child, I helped her collect Emmet Kelly Jr. clown figurines.”

awn Colvert loves Paris, the outdoors, animals and a good bargain.

Her passions are evident in her custom-built, European-flavored home high atop Clift’s Cove on the western side of Rainbow Mountain.

A courtyard adorns the front and back of the 7,800-square-foot, three-story mansion. A verandah on the second floor and a patio on the ground floor in the back of the nearly

$2 million house provide a scenic view of the Tennessee Valley.

Sandwiched in between the courtyards is a six-bedroom, eight-bath living area featuring a gargantuan kitchen with a custom-made burgundy French stove and solid oak ceiling beams from a barn built in the 1700s in Virginia. It took four men to carry each beam.

“I love France, especially Paris. It’s my favorite city,” said Dawn, wife of Phillip and mother of Sean Phillip, 6, and two shih tzus, Jasmine and Oliver.

She decorated the house with purchases made locally from Hartlex Antiques in

Madison, Braggs and Richard’s Lighting of Huntsville, from throughout Alabama, the United States, Europe, online and even estate and garage sales.

A former career professional as a human resources officer, she now considers herself a “professional volunteer” at her son’s school, Rainbow Elementary, Asbury United Methodist Church, and their homeowners association.

Dawn and her husband met at the company he co-founded, ELMCO, which he later sold to West Star. He continued to work for the company, now QinetiQ North America.

The couple previously lived in Monrovia, but as Sean Phillip neared school age, Dawn said they wanted to live in Madison “because of the school system.”

After purchasing the 2/3 acre property from a friend, developer and builder Jerry Van Hooser, the couple began looking at scores of floor plans before settling on one featuring a courtyard on the front of the house. They “tweaked” and “stretched” the plan so much, the original design is a far cry from the finished product, which took 20 months to complete.

It took two of those months just to hand-carve the spiraling staircase, which rises

from the foyer to the third level where Sean Phillip’s Auburn-themed room and two guest rooms are located.

A graduate of Athens State and Florida Tech, Dawn is an Alabama fan while Phillip attended the University of Central Arkansas.

Hickory hardwood floors, with widths ranging from 3-to-5 inches, are an eye-catcher, as are the numerous Shaun Beck chandeliers hanging throughout the home.

In the kitchen, overlooking the stove is a hand-painted, farm-themed picture that includes two of Dawn’s former pets, Charlie Brown, a chocolate cocker spaniel, and Maggie, a Siamese cat, plus a rooster. It is one

of many rooster images on everything from dishes to chairs in the kitchen and dining room combo that features a gas fireplace and granite countertops from South America.

The keeping room has one of Dawn’s favorite and probably the most expensive piece of furniture, a fainting couch.

While Dawn did most of the decorating, Phillip selected his office furniture and the furnishings in the downstairs media room.

“It was a joint effort,” he said with a smile.While the house is elegantly decorated, it

also has a welcoming feel for the many guests they entertain throughout the year.

“I wanted grand spaces with a casual,

The granite countertops in the kitchen were brought from South America. The kitchen also features a Lacache, a custom-made burgundy French stove.

rustic look,” said Dawn. “We just wanted something different—something unexpected.”

The arched doorways and antique furnishings—ranging in value from hundreds or even thousands of dollars to $5—provide a feel of stepping back into time. The antiques are juxtaposed with modern conveniences, including a heated toilet seat, a theater-sized projection screen, a hot tub and a weight room.

Numerous Shaun Beck chandeliers hang throughout the home.

EdoLET’S EAT

Japanese cuisine

EdoPleasing palates since 1985

Madison Living 27

While living in Monterrey, Calif. in 1985, Kiyo Honma had a hunch that

materialized into a business venture.Honma learned from a friend in

Huntsville that the city did not have a Japanese restaurant. “I was very much interested. I moved from Monterrey and opened Edo Japanese Restaurant on University Drive,” Honma said.

Twenty-seven years later, Edo continues as a successful purveyor of Japanese cuisine, now off Madison Boulevard at 104 Intercom Drive in Madison.

Sushi has made Edo popular. “When I opened, I had to teach people about sushi and sashimi,” Honma said. “Even children enjoy it now.”

Another popular dish, Chicken Ball combines “chicken teriyaki over rice in a big bowl. Some people like it spicy so we make Dynamite Ball. Many customers enjoy this,” Honma said.

Along with house and vintage red and whites, Edo serves Japanese standards like Fuki Plum Wine and cold and hot sakes.

Many customers choose to order a la carte with choices like teriyaki entrees, tempura dishes, spring roll, Gyoza pork dumplings and Kuski-Katsu, which is deep-fried pork and onions on skewer.

For dinners, guests enjoy miso soup, salad and rice with entrees varying from teriyaki to tempura. For combination dinners, a long list offers teriyaki-style chicken, beef, salmon, scallops, fish or chicken, along with Rock’n Chicken Nuggets, tempura plates, vegetable croquettes and numerous others.

Before moving to the United States, Honma worked as a nutritionist in Tokyo, Japan. Her training is evident in the cuisine at Edo.

“I always try to introduce authentic Japanese food. I just want people to enjoy Japanese food. I’m so glad to see that

people are conscious about their diet. Japanese food is a wonderful way to be healthy,” Honma said. “Chinese food is fried—we broil.”

Honma moved Edo to Madison in 1987 to a small, unassuming building, which stood in a vacant lot on Madison

Boulevard near Hughes Road. Next, the restaurant was located in Arlington Plaza on Sullivan Street for 13 years. In 1999, Honma built the new Madison home for Edo in aesthetically pleasing Japanese architecture.

“I am so fortunate. I still have so many

loyal customers from 1985 and that keep me going. They want to support me,” Honma said.

“Right now, the economy is not great,” she said. “People are conscious about price. Our menu is reasonably priced. We try to keep price down.”

Sushi is a big hit at Edo. The staff works to create new dishes frequently to keep customers happily surprised.

Madison Living 29

Honma happily reminisced about glory days of the 1990s when her neighbor, Intergraph Corporation, was Madison County’s largest employer with 5,000 on the Madison campus. “Those days were the best for us. So many customers keep coming back.”

Honma’ success with Edo relies on maintaining the quality of food while making sure the customer is happy. “I try to make something new all the time. I make sure that people don’t get tired of the same thing.”

Edo serves lunch Monday-Friday from

11 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. and dinner from 5 p.m. to 9:30 p.m. Dinner is also served on Saturday from 5 p.m. to 9:30 p.m.

Michael Spratley is obliterating the stereotype of engineers being boring.

After graduating from Bob Jones High School and two out-of-state universities, Michael moved back to Alabama and began brewing beer.

“As I was interested in craft beer and moved back to Alabama and there weren’t the beers that I like to drink available, I took up learning how to brew and creating my own beers.”

“I brewed for about 6 years or 7 years before I started actually trying to pursue it professionally.”

Michael and his wife Alison Spratley founded Blue Pants in 2010.

After graduating with a degree in aerospace engineering from the University of Michigan, where he met Alison, Michael attended Georgia Tech and received a graduate degree in aerospace engineering.

Michael left his engineering job with the Army in August.

Now he spends all his time working at the brewery.

“We do three (beers) basically year round. We’re adding more all the time and then we try to rotate in a seasonal that’s appropriate. We do crazy stuff at the tap room that we’ve just started that will just be here available all the time.”

Blue Pants’ first tap room exclusive was a rye alt.

Alt is a german-style ale and the rye added “a little spicy character to it,” Michael said.

Blue Pants’ year-round beers are Kickerbocker Red, Corduroy Rye IPA and Breeches ESB.

Blue Pants offers 22-ounce bottled beer, a size which became legal in Alabama August 1.

“What would take days and weeks to fill in 12-ounce bottles, takes a fraction

of the time.” Michael said.He hopes to start producing 12-ounce bottles in the spring.“We’d really like to be able to sell growlers out of the tap

room. Right now it is illegal for us to sell for you to take home.” Growlers are refillable, half-gallon containers used to transport beer.

“Brewery’s have to go to the three-tiered system to sell to somebody who wants to consume it at their house. I can sell it to you here based on a law that changed two years ago for you to drink onsite, but I can’t sell it to you to take home.”

Michael has many roles at Blue Pants, and much of the staff consists of his family, including his parents and siblings.

“I really enjoy going out to different tastings and events and sharing my beer with people. One of the reasons I’m not allowed to work the tap room is I forget to ask people to pay me for the beer. That’s bad, so I typically don’t do that. I just enjoy sharing it with everyone and hopefully getting the positive feedback. You get some negative feedback sometimes, but I’ve always said it’s because you brew a lot of styles because everyone’s got different tastes and different likes.”

The tap room is open Friday and Saturday from 3 to 10 p.m. and Thursday from 3 to 8 p.m.

“As of football season, we are going to expand that a little bit and open on Sundays for pro football, and then we might open on Wednesday because we’ve gotten a lot of requests.”

Blue Pants Brewery is located in Madison at 500 Lanier Road, Building 1, Suite A.

TOP LEFT: Wee Heavy Ale is added to bourbon barrels for aging. The beer is a 10 percent alcohol by volume strong Scotch ale with a smooth malty sweetness and notes of dried fruit. TOP RIGHT: Half barrels await filling in the brewery warehouse.

TO YOUR

HEALTH

Finding healthy food can be a challenge, so we’ve made it a little easier to do.

We found two vegetable dishes, the Paleo Bowl at Famous Joe’s

Restaurant and the Tofu Broccoli at Charm Thai, which just happen to be good for you and taste even better.

We also went to two markets, Madison City Farmers Market and the market at

The Grove Farmers Market and Bistro, and found fresh vegetables eagerly waiting to be made into anything you desire.

Happy vegetable hunting!

Famous Joe's Pizzeria's Paleo Bowl Famous Joe’s Pizzeria’s Paleo Bowl is an insider secret that's not on the menu. The dish mingles mushrooms, onions, artichoke, squash and

zucchini on a bed of spinach, and the veggies are topped off with marinara sauce. Famous Joe's will tailor this entree to your taste buds.

Charm Thai’s Tofu Broccoli Charm Thai’s Tofu Broccoli Charm Thai’s Tofu Broccoli is a

flavorful dish that can be made spicy or tame.

The protein-packed meal combines fresh tofu, broccoli,

onion and bell peppers in a garlic sauce with a touch of ground black

pepper and a side of rice. Ask for no oyster sauce to keep this

dish strictly veggies only.
