Athens-Chilesburg students accept a challenge Mrs. Souers Gifted and Talented fi fth grade language arts students from Athens-Chiles-

burg Elementary love to write, so when she proposed writing an essay for the Governor’s Mansion Centennial Celebration Contest they were excited. While the students had three choices of themes to choose from, many went with the prompt about life in the Kentucky Governor’s Mansion and how it is different today than it was in early years.

Campbell Johnson, from Emily Green’s fi th grade homeroom and Mrs. Souers’ gifted and talented class, was one of nine students to submit an essay. Campbell’s essay came in third place for her age division from all essays written from around the state.

Mrs. Green says “Campbell rises to any challenge she is given and excels with poise. She is a joy to teach and has a bright future ahead of her!”

Writing is an important component of the Common Core English-Language Arts Stan-dards. One of the fi fth grade ELA standards states students will “conduct short research proj-ects that use several sources to build knowledge through investigation of different aspects of a topic.” The standards also emphasize integrating writing across different content areas. Students are encouraged to write in math, science, social studies, music, art and physical education.

Students at ACE often send their writing out into the world. Recently, fourth and fi fth graders wrote to Coach Cal and UK basketball players telling them how they were inspired by them. Students are eagerly awaiting letters back.

BY CAMPBELL JOHNSON

Happy 100th birthday to the Ken-tucky Governor’s Mansion. More than 25 governors have had the privilege of calling it their home. “The house of the people” serves as a home for the governor and also a museum for the people. A lot of things have changed over a century; tech-nology, social traditions and the mansion itself.

With each governor, something new is left behind for the mansion, whether it was memories of children riding bikes down the hall, a plate left from a great ball, or a rug on the fl oor, each governor is remem-bered for these little mementos. In some way, every governor has left a lasting impact on the mansion, a little memory left behind for Kentucky to cherish forever.

In 1914, James B McCreary was the fi rst to move into the “people’s house” unfi nished! He was the only governor to live in both mansions. He had the insight to add the ballroom which makes the governor’s mansion stand out from other governor’s mansions. He also had the carriage house hauled from the old man-sion to the new one to hold his horse and buggy. When his term was up the staff set about taking it down to put in a garage for automobiles. In 1982, the fi rst major ren-ovation occurred. Governor John Y Brown renovated because the fi re marshal declared the house a fi retrap. They fi xed the HVAC and did work on the plumbing. Twenty years later Ernie Fletcher com-pleted the second major renovation. He updated all the windows and doors, refi n-

ished the fl oors, purchased new silver-ware and artwork, as well as fi xed much of the peeling plaster and paint.

Other changes that occurred were due to modifi cations in America’s social fabric. Martha Lynn Collins, the fi rst and only female governor, also the third female governor in all of America, acted as both governor and hostess at the mansion during her term, changing tradition to suit the changing times. Each year the mansion sports many events, traditionally these are Easter egg hunts, trick or treat-ing and Christmas events -- these are all open to the public, however breaking with tradition the 100th year gala will be a one and only event in our modern history! In addition to these wonderful events the mansion also hosts art performances, events for charities celebrities, and foreign dignitaries.

Other changes for the mansion in-clude “going social,” -- the mansion joined Facebook in 2006. People can now learn, see, celebrate and donate to the cause of keeping the mansion alive, anywhere they go. As times change, the mansion strives to keep up with the modern world.

Preserving the Kentucky Governor’s Mansion gives the people of Kentucky a sense of pride. Noted to be one of the most beautiful Governor’s mansions in America, it encourages people to come visit our amazing state. The mansion acts as a link to the past and a promise of our future. I wish that the Kentucky Gover-nor’s Mansion celebrates another 100 years.

BY “GIZZY”

The saying “a house is not a home without a pet” is one of my favor-ites. I adopted my human fami-ly 6 years ago and at this point I

have them pretty doggone well-trained. As a dog, I might be a bit biased, but I must agree that owning a pet is one of the best things ever! (And yes, being a loved, well-cared for pet is awesome as well!) Unconditional love, a best friend, the perfect cuddle buddy, sloppy bedtime kisses, and so on. There are endless, fun benefi ts of having a pet, but you humans often forget that pets are also GOOD for you. Good for the soul, why of course, but also good for your HEALTH. So from a dog’s perspective, let me explain…

It’s true, people with pets are generally more active than those without. After all, we dogs are really good at providing motivation for our parents to get out of the house and take us for a stroll through the neighbor-hood. (Can’t fi nd the leash? I know where it is! Where’s the door knob? Here it is!) Or, if you’re like me, I drag my family on hikes through the woods and even State Parks. Don’t get me wrong, I enjoy my daily walks around the block, but the real fun is when we work up a sweat on a jog or hike.

With spring and more time spent out-doors, we’ve been gearing up for Mutt Strut, the Lexington Humane Society’s dog-friendly 2k walk! My mom has been spending lots

of time exercising with me, as she wants to make sure I’m ready. All this regular exercise burns calories, works off a stressful day, and keeps everyone in good spirits. In fact, all the regular walks (minus quick sniffi ng stops along the way) help lower blood pressure, which is why Man’s Best Friend—and Wom-an’s too—may even reduce your risk of heart disease. And did you know just giving a pet love lowers blood pressure? This is some-thing all pets can help their parents out with. I know my daily “massage” of being petted and snuggled is something that’s relaxing and calming for the whole family. It’s true, having a pet helps reduce stress, and research has shown that pets are helpful for people going through any sort of grief or trauma. A good dose of puppy (or kitty) TLC provides a sense of satisfaction and happiness for all involved. Oh, and you’re never lonely when a pet is around! Now that’s something to shake paws on.

Are you sold that having a pet is good for your mind, body, and soul? Ready to bring a lifelong best friend home? Then pay the Lexington Humane Society a visit and Opt to Adopt! Already have a great pooch like me? Then come enjoy the fresh air and a 2k walk at this year’s Mutt Strut sponsored by Critter Sitters and IncrediPet. This dog-friend-ly walk on May 17th at Coldstream Park is the perfect opportunity for you and your pup to be social and enjoy some exercise with hundreds of other animal lovers.

The National Endowment for the Arts has awarded nearly $800,000 in grant funding to Kentucky agen-cies and arts organizations – in-

cluding more than $700,000 to the Kentucky Arts Council – in its latest round of grants.

The arts council will receive $710,500 from the NEA through its state partnership agreement grants for the state arts agency’s 2015 fiscal year budget.

Partnership fund-ing is awarded annu-ally to state-level arts agencies nationwide. The arts council is the only agency in Kentucky designat-ed to receive state partnership funding from the NEA.

“The funding the arts council receives from the National Endowment for the Arts allows us to further our mission of creating opportunities through the arts to enrich the lives of all Kentuckians,” said Lori Meadows, arts council executive director. “We thank the NEA for its continued support and congratulate the Kentucky arts orga-nizations and others that received grant funding.”

Additional Kentucky grant recipients for this year are:

Pioneer Playhouse, Danville, $15,000, to support Voices Inside: The Northpoint Prison Writing and Performance Project.

Central Kentucky Youth Orchestra, Lexington, $10,000, to support the North

Limestone MusicWorks program.Portland Museum, Louisville, $24,000

to support the exhibition “Celebration of the Book: A Year of Book Arts.”

Murray State University, Murray, $10,000, to support an arts education pro-gram sponsored by the university gallery.

Appalshop, Whitesburg, $30,000, to support the ongoing development and

premiere of the bilingual musical play “Betsy,” a partnership between its Road-side Theater and Pregones Theater in the Bronx, N.Y.

The Kentucky Arts Council, the state arts agency, creates opportunities for Kentuckians to value, participate in and benefit from the arts.

Kentucky Arts Council funding is provided by the Kentucky General Assembly and the National Endow-ment for the Arts.

The National Endowment for the Arts was established by Congress in 1965 as an independent agency of the federal govern-ment.

To date, the NEA has awarded more than $4 billion to support artistic excellence, creativity, and innovation for the benefit of individuals and communities.

The NEA extends its work through partnerships with state arts agencies, local leaders, other federal agencies and the philanthropic sector.

NEA awards nearly $800,000 to Kentucky groups

Preview party for writers’ conference features Lexington author

Lexington author Sarah Combs will sign her debut novel, “Breakfast Served Anytime,” Saturday, May 10, at The Morris Book Shop, as

part of the preview party for this year’s Ken-tucky Women Writers Conference. The pre-view party for the 2014 Kentucky Women Writers Conference (KWWC) celebrates the launch of Combs’ young adult novel published by Candlewick Press this month. In addition to showcasing Combs’ new work, KWWC Direc-tor Julie Wrinn will share info about this year’s conference.

Attendees of the preview party will have the opportunity to win free admission for one to the 2014 KWWC conference in September. Appetizers and wine will be available.

In a coming-of-age tale set in Kentucky, Combs’ novel, “Breakfast Served Anytime,” follows high-school senior Gloria spending her summer at a college preparatory program for gifted students. Combs lives in Lexington with her two sons, two bird dogs and her husband, whom she met at a geek camp

similar to the one featured in her novel. She has worked as a high school Latin teacher, college literature instructor, and youth and teen librarian.

“Infused with romance and intellectual energy, Combs’ story eloquently captures the

euphoria and transformation that can arise from an intense period of personal introspec-tion,” the Booklist review said. Kirkus Reviews said, “In a promising debut, Combs crafts a strong, memorable female character and a broad collection of fully fleshed-out secondary players who share a magical summer.”

Combs leads writing workshops in the Young Women Writers Program and teach-es fiction writing for youth and adults at The Carnegie Center for Literacy and Learning in Lexington. Now in its 36th year, the Kentucky Women Writers Conference is an annual event known for bringing notable women writers to Lexington for readings, writing work-shops and discussions. A program housed in the UK College of Arts and Sciences, the con-ference is made possible in part by continued community partnerships, including its primary venue, the Carnegie Center for Literacy and Learning. Registration for the conference opens May 1. The Preview Party will be held at 4 p.m. Saturday, May 10, at The Morris Book Shop, located at 882 East High Street.

There are few short cuts when it comes to making a good demi gla-ce. Although it’s a simple sauce, it takes time. Sure, there are plenty

of commercial products on the market to cut the time crunch. While some of the products are quite good, most of them are grainy salt bombs. In its most elemental form, demi glace is a concentrated brown sauce. Getting to the demi stage is a different matter entirely. Clas-sically, it’s made by reducing veal stock with equal parts of Sauce Espagnole (a roux-thick-ened brown Mother Sauce). Old school. The school of Escoffi er. Nowadays, most modern kitchens bypass the roux-based Espagnole Sauce by utilizing a straight up reduction for purity. While demi glace specifi cally refers to veal based stocks, chicken and beef are often substituted. Pick the method. Pick the protein. It doesn’t matter. Demi glace starts with stock. Bones are key.

Four Hills Farm Rack of Lamb with Mint Bordelaise

StockArmed with 5 pounds of meat-covered beef

knuckle bones from Elmwood Stock Farm, I started my little journey. Typically, a combi-nation of oxtails, shanks, necks, and knuckle bones would have been ideal. Gobs of surface areas exposed to heat allows optimum brown-ing to occur. The deep browning process pro-duces a deeper stock. Blah. Blah. Blah. That said, I had knuckle bones. Big ones. Think huge beefy knee caps. If (emphasis on if) I had a butcher’s bone saw within arm’s reach, I sup-posed I could have broken down the knuckles into smaller pieces. Didn’t happen.

After plopping the bones onto a sheet pan, I tossed them with canola oil and slid them into a 400 degree preheated oven to roast for 45 minutes. Midway through the browning pro-cess, I added chopped (unpeeled) onions, roughly chopped carrots, smashed garlic cloves, and chopped celery. When the vege-tables, meat, and bones were deeply caramel-ized, I pulled them from the oven, transferred them to a stock pot, and added enough cold water to cover them by 2 inches. I placed the messy sheet pan over a medium fl ame, de-glazed the sticky bits with a splash of red wine, and scraped the fabulous goo into the stock pot. After adding fresh parsley stems, thyme, bay leaves, and black peppercorns to the mix, I brought the stock to a boil, reduced the heat, and let it simmer for a ridiculous 8 hours, skim-ming the scum along the way.

After supper and a small nap, I strained the stock through a cheesecloth-lined chinois (ex-cessive), placed the bowl of stock into an ice bath to cool, and slid it into the refrigerator to chill overnight.

Demi Glace/BorderlaiseBordelaise is simply a red wine-infused

demi glace. The next morning, I pulled the stock from the refrigerator and removed the layer of fat. I poured 2 cups of cabernet sau-vignon into a stock pot, cranked the heat to high, brought the wine to a boil, turned the heat down to a simmer, and let the wine reduce by

half before adding 3 tablespoons of tomato paste, and 8 cups of my reserved defatted beef stock. Going a bit new school without the roux-based Sauce Espagnole, I simmered the wine-infused stock for 4 1/2 hours. Cra-zy. When it reduced to 2 cups, I scattered a handful of fresh mint into the sauce to steep and let it simmer until it could coat the back of a spoon. After straining out the mint, I ladled the mint bordelaise into a small sauce pan and placed it over a very low fl ame.

The Extra StuffDuring the down time, I baked individual

potato gratins, pickled a few radishes, and pureed a small bunch of boiled carrots with specks of citrusy sumac. Enough said. Gar-nish. Meat and three, so to speak.

LambI had a gorgeous 1 pound frenched 8 rib

rack of lamb from Four Hills Farm in Salvisa, Kentucky. It was so petite and delicate, I cer-tainly didn’t want to muck it up. After bringing the lamb to room temperature, I brushed the lamb with olive oil before seasoning it with garlic powder, salt, and pepper. I cranked a cast iron skillet to medium high heat (dry) and browned the lamb rack on all sides, 4 minutes per side. I pulled the rack from the skillet and brushed it with a thin coating of the simmering bordelaise before rolling it through a combi-nation of minced fresh parsley, fresh snipped chives, and minced fresh rosemary. I packed the herbs onto the fl esh, tossed the rack of lamb back into the cast iron skillet (fat side up), and roasted it at 400 degrees until the internal temperature reached 125 degrees. After about 15 minutes, I pulled the lamb from the oven, removed it to a cutting board, tented it with foil, and let it rest for 15 minutes.

After slicing the lamb rack between the tiny rib bones, I nestled the chops over the potato gratins, puddled the mint bordelaise around the ribs and smeared the sumac-scented carrot puree to the side before fi nishing with Bourbon County micro greens and quick pick-led radishes. The demi glace/bordelaise might have been a little excessive and troublesome. I didn’t care in the least. Happily dogged by trouble and excess, I had a blast. And the re-sult? Ridiculous. The bordelaise was both in-tense and light. The subtle hints of mint poked through the heavily concentrated sauce and offset the slight gaminess of the tender lamb. While the soft sumac-spiked carrot puree add-ed whispers of perky creaminess, the radish-es and micro greens provided biting acidic crunch. Perfect.

Do something with your mom ...


The desire to adventure is something I had to grow into. I wasn’t always excited to spend the day getting dirty and sweaty on steep, muddy trails. I realized my love for adventuring after high school, when I learned that Creation itself was where my deepest inspiration came from. I love being surrounded by the smells and sounds of nature with trails to explore and big, beautiful things to discover. When I’m hiking, I feel like a tiny guest in a meticulously and gloriously designed house, and I want nothing more than to climb, duck, crawl, jump, and run through it. I always have a hard time expressing the sense of wonder that Creation awakens in me. The best way I’ve come up with is to go play in it.

The trails at Red River Gorge are carved out so beautifully, they really feel like a complement to the surroundings rather than a disruption. I love that the whole experience is preserved in that way.

A photo diary of Red River Gorge

There are so many curious trails begging to be explored. This time of year, everything is such a vibrant green, we had to stop multiple times just to take it all in. The air is thick with the sweet scents of the trees, the earth, and the rain that frequently passes through in May.

We were completely sheltered by the lush tree-tops. It’s so beautiful how light filters through the leaves and illuminates everything underneath. It makes the forest feel truly magical.

BY TIFFANY MITCHELL


The view from Natural Bridge is breathtaking.

The descent is my favorite part. We finished our hike just in time for the pizza cravings to set in, then it was off to Miguel’s! Where do you love to adventure? Do you find inspiration and meaning in the “bigness” of nature? I would love to hear your thoughts! Tiffany Mitchell blogs at offbeatandinspired, and you can follow her on instagram @tifforelie.

My mom and I stopped for a picture at the summit. She used to take us hiking all the time when I was growing up. I grumbled about it back then, but I’m so glad she shared her desire to adventure with us. I can totally re-late now!

This is where I feel the tiniest. It’s in these moments that I’m overwhelmed by how big God is and how pre-cious we must be — to stand on a rock and look out over a sea of green, beautiful beyond anything I could dream up, and to be loved by the Maker of it all!

I was really blessed to spend this day with my family. We’ve all been through some rough stuff over the last few years, and we don’t get to see each other often — but hiking and exploring together was truly refreshing and some MUCH needed fun.

Dave impressed us all with his superhuman strength as he pried apart this tree so we wouldn’t have to climb over it. Aren’t husbands the best?

I’m in love with the rock staircases scattered through-out the trails. I really want to meet the people whose job it was to hack those boulders into steps and give them a massive high five.

The wooden staircases are pretty awesome too. Whenever I see whimsically inviting paths like this, I picture myself wandering through Wonderland — mo-ments away from happening upon a Mad Tea Party. I swear I can hear the Merry Unbirthday music playing in the background sometimes. Is that weird?

I could probably do a whole post devoted entirely to the beauty of leaves.


All about Mom ...In their own words

BY RICKI ROSENBERG, WRITING COACH

At Athens-Chilesburg Elementary, teachers know how to make writing purposeful and meaningful. They encourage student choice and writing about topics that matter to students. Students realize that their writing can and should impact others, making the world a better place. For example, after the students went to a traveling art exhibit at the UK Art Museum, they wrote letters to teachers in the community where the exhibit was going next, explaining to the teachers why they should take their students to the exhibit. Also, when students read about the negative effects of plastic store bags, they wrote essays telling other students their opinions and then shared their essays on our Morning News show on Earth Day. That way, their ideas could influence other people, which in turn is good for the environment. In addition, students

recently wrote letters to Headmaster Tresize in Colorado after reading about how the headmaster suspended a student for shaving her head to comfort her friend when she lost her hair to chemotherapy. The students at ACE know the power that their words can have and often use their words to take action and influence other people. Ashely Brock and Shelley Decker, second grade teachers say, “We are blessed to have an amazing group of students in our second grade class this year at Athens-Chilesburg Elementary. They have worked extremely hard and have blossomed into talented writers. When we asked our students to write about what makes their mothers so special, we knew they would rise to the challenge.The real challenge we faced was selecting only 6 entries out of 47 students. We are overjoyed to have the opportunity to share their talents with our community. We emphasize how important real world writing is and the impact they can make with their powerful words.”

Below is a selection of essays from A.C.E. students.

MY MOM IS SPECIAL BECAUSE ...LUCY RAICHE – My life is pretty normal but one time made it special. I have an older brother – annoying, loud, glum, and immature older brother. While he was playing with his friends, Mom gave me a little smirk and pulled something out of her purse. I saw it and giggled. It was something he would have wanted and every time I got something and he wanted it, mom said share. But this time he was gone, and the thing that she pulled out was a giant Easter egg cookie! I couldn’t believe she got it for me and me only. I ate the cookie just in time. My brother walked right in the door. Mom just winked.

ASHLEY POWELL One day I got in trouble, but my mom didn’t know. My dad told me to tell my mom what I did. My dad left the room and she sat down and started to love on me. She said in a soft voice, “Tell me what you did.” I told her what I did but she didn’t start to get mad at me, she just kept loving on me. After that night me and her slept together on the couch and she told me she loves me even if I get in trouble. This is why I think my mom is special and I love her.

BAILEY WILSON – Even though my mommy has lots of things to do she still spends time with me. One time she took me and gave me a Barbie movie. One of my favorites! I put it in. Mommy told me to snuggle up with her and oooo it was cozy. By the time the movie was over we were already asleep. My mom is so special, she will spend time with me even though she has other things to do. I love my mommy!

SAWYER COVEY-2nd Athens-Chilesburg ElementaryEven though my mom has my sister following her everywhere like a shadow, one time I got all the attention. I was climbing up on my crib (I had no idea how) and I thought I was playing superhero and I jumped and fell! When my mom came running to turn on the light, all she saw was me (as a baby) on the floor. When she tried to put on my shirt, she realized I had broken my arm. (If you have ever broken a bone, and you know how hard you were scream-ing, imagine a baby broken bone!) She ran red lights, honked her horn, rushed through traffic, and got me to the hospital. I was terrified! My mom held my hand and the next thing I knew, I was in a cast! I clinged to my mom. It was a miserable day. I am so thankful to have a very

Family StoryTellersBY TOM YATES

You can’t miss something that you don’t remember having. I’m a 51 year old baby boomer who still calls his phantom mother Mommy. That’s how we always referred to her and that’s what I always called her when she was alive. She’s been gone 47 years. I was 4 years old. They told me God needed angels.

Mothers are the storytellers of the family. They’re the keepers of the secrets and the memories. Mothers are the ones who remember how cute we were and the funny things we did. They reinforce our lives with their memories of us. Their memories become our memories. Even if some truths are stretched, tweaked, or embellished, they become real over time.

That’s what I miss. Have missed. Will continue miss. My story. Even all of my surrogate mothers and replacement mommies have taken their memories with them. Olga. Ababa. Granny. Marge. The gate keepers.

I’ve been told that all Mommy wanted was to have babies. She en-dured a lot of pain during several failures. Until me.They tell me I was her entire world and that she loved me endlessly. I look like her. She looks like me. I can see her in me. I’ve been told that she fought a brave fight and didn’t want to leav. God needed angels. I needed her, too. God won. I’m thankful that she loved me. I’m thankful for those who knew her. Their storytelling became her storytelling. I have memories of memories.

I no longer dream that I’ll bump into her at a 7-Eleven or the fort commissary. Those were dreams of childhood desperation. I know she is buried with my father at Arlington National Cemetery. When I stand over their combined grave, I feel physically close to her. When I quietly shut my eyes, I feel spiritually close to her.

This morning I opened her beaten up jewelry box filled with her picked over left-to-me pretty stuff. Her rhinestones, faux pearls, bowling pins broken charm bracelet add-ons, clip-on earrings, and den mother pins are tangible tokens I can touch.

I’m not sad. Not at all. I am thankful for what I had and have. Mom-my, Janice Rose, Aunt Elizabeth, Ababa, Granny, and Marge. I’m thank-ful for all of my mothers and for all of my friends who are mothers.

The storytellers. The gatekeepers.Hold them close.

ADDISON MAGSIG—2nd Athens-Chilesburg Elementary, Mrs. Decker’s ClassMy Mom is always so busy with her job and school, but one time…we snuck out of the house! I said, “Where are we going?” She said, “It’s a surprise.” Then we turned into the best ice cream place… Or-ange Leaf! And then we got ice cream. Then she said, “It’s not over yet.” She took me to Kid to Kid so I could get a new toy. Whenever my mom makes time for me, it is very special.

BLAKE EGGLESTON-2nd grade, Mrs. Decker’s ClassI may be a normal average kid but I know my mom loves me. I am going to tell you about the time she proved that to me. It started when I was off to bed and my nose was really stuffed up. I was tossing and turning and snorting but it would not get any better. But when it got loud enough…My mom came into my room and told me told me to come sleep with her. And no matter how much my snorting annoyed her, she still helped me feel better. If your mom has to go through all of that for you like my mom, I think that makes

Jessica Beall approaches motherhood like she does her salon — with a positive attitude. Beall, who owns Joli Salon and Day Spa in Hamburg, is the married mother of two with a third child due in August. Although it can be overwhelming at times with so much on her plate, Jessica says it’s all about how you look at things. She feels much the same way about her family and home as she does about her salon. “It’s all about the atmosphere you create. We want our guests at the salon to feel like they are going to their best friend’s house. It’s very warm and welcoming. It’s all about being positive.”

Bluegrass Youth Ballet (BYB) will pres-ent their 10th Anniversary gala on May 2nd at 7 PM and May 3rd at 2 PM at the Lexington Opera House. Director and Founder, Adalhi Aranda Corn, has

created a new ballet, Art Rhapsody, and she is using the same formula that she’s used throughout the school’s ten-year-history: creating original ballets and collaborating with local arts organizations and artists.

Art Rhapsody is a ballet in which Corn brings visual art to life through dance. It showcases famous paintings of Monet, Degas, Kandinsky and others as well as the work of local artists Steve Armstrong and Lennon Michalski. In typical BYB fashion, an ele-ment of magic, humor, and creativity tie these works together with educational and cultural aspects woven throughout the production.

“Both Steve and Lennon are incredible artists,” said Corn. “Steve’s art seems very child-friendly with all the gears and moving parts. His sculptures make you want to get your hands on them! That’s what chil-dren should do with art, be involved! It’s interactive.

“I met Lennon just a few months ago during the Luminosity event at the Art League,” continued Corn. His pieces just grabbed me. It looked like they had “movement,” even though what I saw was two-dimen-sional art. I introduced myself and he got me hooked on his concepts. I felt that somehow he needed to be part of Art Rhapsody, and I can’t wait to see the finished product!”

Armstrong has a long history of collaborating with Corn on arts endeavors.

“In 2005, I asked Adalhi to choreograph a dance piece to coincide with the unveiling of a 10’ x 8’ x 8’ moving sculpture which was part of my Mid-Career Retrospective at the Headley-Whitney Museum,” said Armstrong, who calls himself a kinetic artist. “Art Rhapsody revives that piece, and includes some new elements created for this unique ballet. “I enjoy collaborating because it makes you think outside the box. As with most successful collaborations, Adalhi and I were soon on the same wavelength, bouncing off ideas, stretching our imaginations, and creating something special in the process. I’m honored to help celebrate BYB’s 10-year-anniversary in such a special way.”

Painter and digital artist, Lennon Michalski, is enthusiastic about his opportunity to collaborate with Corn and BYB for the first time.

“When you hear that you’ll be working with youth, you typically think maybe you’ll need to give lots of direction, you expect them not to be as engaged,” said Michalski, who will lend a video to Art Rhapsody and was named in 2012 by Oxford American as one of ‘The New Superstars of Southern Art.” “But, I was surprised, blown away really, at the level of profes-

sionalism of these students and of their knowledge and expertise of their craft. It’s been a thrill to work with them and interpret what they do in my medium. I’m really excited to see the ‘frozen’ artistic master-pieces activated into movement.”

Throughout the school’s history, Corn has wel-comed the opportunity to work with the Lexington arts community. Collaborations with The Living Arts & Sci-ence Center, the Central Kentucky Youth Orchestras, the Lexington Children’s Theatre, and local artists Steve Armstrong, Blake Eames, and Diane Kahlo are

a few of the most memorable.The 10th Anniversary Gala encompasses the for-

mula that has brought Director and Founder Corn and the BluegrassYouth Ballet this far proving again…No dream is too BIG!

Art Rhapsody will be May 2 at 7 p.m. and May 3 at 2 p.m. at the Lexington Opera House Tickets are $15 (children) $18 (adults) Call 859-233-3535 or go to www.ticketmaster.com for tickets.

THE LEXINGTON-FAYETTE COUNTY HEALTH DEPARTMENT will begin a 12-week class at noon Thursdays, starting May 1, at St. Joseph Cancer Center, 701 Bob-O-Link Drive, Suite 250. The Cooper-Clayton Method to stop smoking provides education and support sessions that have been prov-en effective for smokers no matter how long they’ve used tobacco products. The class re-quires participants to pay $10 each week for the fi rst 10 weeks for a total of $100. Partici-pants can pay the total amount or pay week-ly, and fi nancial plans may be available for those who are unable to make the full pay-ment. “For a pack-a-day smoker, this weekly fee is equal to the cost of two days of ciga-rettes,” said Angela Brumley-Shelton, tobac-co health educator at LFCHD. “Plus, we give you 10 weeks of free nicotine replacement therapy, like nicotine gum, patches and loz-enges.” A person who stops smoking has the following health improvements: About 130,000 cardiovascular deaths per year in the United States are attributable to smok-ing, while about 26 percent of heart attacks and 12-19 percent of strokes are attributable to smoking..
