Ubuntu Canteen -- Very Yellow Springs

It was a dark and stormy night….and I had an order placed at the local Ubuntu Canteen. What a perfect night for Rajma & Veggies (bean and veggie curry), Chicken Biriyani (rice cooked in broth and spices) and Carrot-Nectarine-Plum Salad (with ginger-honey dressing). I was in heaven! A lovingly-prepared meal that immediately took away the chill of the night. My partner, Tom, took one bite and said, “This is food for the gods.”

Ubuntu Canteen is the brainchild of a local woman who loves to cook and give back to the community. “Ubuntu” is her inspiration---a concept in many cultures of Southern Africa that emphasizes the spirit of sharing and honoring our connectedness. Ubuntu Canteen chef says, “In honor of our mutual humanness, we’ll provide a fun, colorful, healthful veggie-and-grain-rich dinner to anyone who would like one. We’ll have one extra dinner (to feed 2-5 people) on each MWF. Pick-up preferred; in-town delivery possible at approximately 5-5:30 p.m.”

E-mail Ubuntu.Canteen@gmail.com to specify food restrictions and arrange. There is no fee. If you do not have e-mail, leave a brief message at 767-1611.

You have got to try this! It’s very Yellow Springs!

Mary Kay Clark and Hawk News

I was sorry to see my friend and former villager Mary Kay Clark (former secretary of the Presbyterian Church) move back to her childhood home in Garrett, IN, this summer. The move involved a lot of changes for her including a small window of time between moving to her new home and starting her new job. Knowing Mary Kay to be a very dynamic, resourceful, creative, and energetic person, I knew she would land on her feet and establish herself quickly in her new community.

She did not disappoint.

This morning, Mary Kay sent me this link so I could see what she was up to. I’m ecstatic to see her talents and creativity being put to good use at her new job as Building Librarian at Country Meadow Elementary in Ashley, IN.

They are lucky to have you, Mary Kay! It’s great to see you thriving. We miss you!

P.S. You might see Mary Kay in the village this weekend---possibly at the Emporium tonite (for Cole Porter music)

Micro Fringe Festival coming to Yellow Springs

Calling all artists, performers, directors, writers, dancers, theater lovers and potential audience members are invited to attend an upcoming public meeting at the Yellow Springs Public Library on Saturday, October 1st from 3-5pm.

Fringe Festivals contain several common elements.
1) Shows are not judged or Juried, but are accepted in the order received.
2) Shows are typically technically sparse; they are commonly presented in shared venues, often with shared technicians and limited technical time, so sets and other technical theatre elements are kept simple. Venues themselves are often adapted from other uses.
3) Casts tend to be smaller than mainstream theatre; since many of the performing groups are traveling, and venues (and thus potential income) tend to be fairly small, expenses must usually be kept to a minimum. One-person shows are therefore quite common at Fringe festivals.
4) Fringe festival productions often showcase new scripts, especially ones on more obscure, edgy or unusual material. The lack of artistic vetting combined with relatively easy entry make risk-taking more feasible.
5) While most mainstream theatre shows are two or three acts long, taking two to three hours with intermissions, fringe shows tend to be closer to one hour, single-act productions. The typically lowered ticket prices of a fringe theatre show permit audiences to attend multiple shows in a single evening.
6) Performers sometimes billet in the homes of local residents, further reducing their costs.

The Yelloween Scarecrow Project

Introducing The Yelloween Scarecrow Project. The concept is to create a Scarecrow that will be installed in the flagpole holes in the sidewalk during the Yelloween season. The project is open to anyone; businesses, artists, crafters, students, non-profits. Businesses and non-profits can sponsor an “artist” to create a Scarecrow to depict their business or organization or individuals can simply do one themselves.

The Scarecrow creator will receive the structural elements and then gets to be creative in designing their Scarecrow. The Scarecrows will go up in mid-October and remain through Yelloween. The Yelloween Scarecrow Project is a unique Yellow Springs project that shows our creativity and brings with it the opportunity for regional and national press.

If your business wishes to sponsor a Scarecrow or if you wish to create a Scarecrow:

I will provide the structure (a post and cross-member) on which the sculpture will be built at cost ($20). All other supplies will be provided by the creator or sponsor. You can be your own Scarecrow artist or find a community member to create your Scarecrow. We will be putting out a call to artists also so there will be a list of interested creators. If you don't have a flagpole hole in front of your business, the Village will put one in or we can come up with another way to display. Display it front of your location from October 14 through November 1.

Photos (submitted by Carol Culbertson): Thanks to a generous monetary gift from Bob Swaney, owner of the Corner Cone, sixth grade students at Mills Lawn School have been working alongside their teachers, Vickie Hitchcock, Sarah Amin and Jody Pettiford to create six scarecrows for the Yelloween Scarecrow Project. The students of Mills Lawn designed the scarecrows to showcase the MLS Skills For Life curriculum which focuses upon respect, cooperation, honesty, responsibility, and personal best. ILE teacher, Carol Culbertson coordinated the project and is anxious to see them hung at the Corner Cone during the month of October.

Dancing with the Zombies

photo from last year's event

Yellow Springs Dance is again sponsoring this year’s “Thrill The World” event, the worldwide, zombie-filled, simultaneous choreographed dance to Michael Jackson’s “Thriller”. The dance will be performed Saturday, October 29 at 2 p.m. Place to be announced.

Weekly teaching sessions will be held for those interested in learning, with the first lesson being held this Sunday, Sept. 25, 4:30-6 p.m. at the Senior Center. Those not able to perform at 2 p.m. on Oct. 29 may choose to participate in performances during the annual Zombie Walk on October 22, and downtown after community trick-or-treating (the evening of October 29).

For more information, e-mail melheston@yahoo.com or thomaswalkey@sbcglobal.net

If you’re unable to make the practices, there is help on youtube.com. The person who created the “Thrill The World” event has broken up the entire routine into 40 short videos demonstrating the easy-to-master dance steps. It’s well-paced and very beginner-friendly and even though 40 seems like a lot at first, there’s a certain amount of repetition to the dance. I watched these videos and attended the practice sessions in past years and felt much more confident with the routine.

Here’s the first of the 40 videos on youtube to get you started:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RuHFna5mcpo

Below is the video from last year’s Yelloween event and Thriller performance in the BP parking lot. The dance starts at the 2:15 mark in the video.

Birds of a Feather at Glen Helen Atrium Gallery

Glen Helen Atrium Gallery Exhibition:

Birds of a Feather – From Songbirds to Raptors

Watercolors by Kathryn K. Lehotsky
September 2 – 30 2011

Glen Helen Atrium Gallery is showing “Birds of a Feather – From Songbirds to Raptors: Watercolors by Kathryn K. Lehotsky. from September 2 – 30, 2011. A lifelong observer of birds and their habitat, Lehotsky uses watercolor to realistically depict her subjects.

Lehotsky lives in Springfield and holds a BA in art from Ohio University . Using her late father’s camera, Kathryn takes photographs of birds in their natural settings in order to have different angles to study for the final painting. To create a realistic image, she builds up the watercolors, layer upon layer. Through the building of many layers she creates opaque colors, rather than the usual transparent watercolor. There will be over 30 paintings on view; the product of two years work.

The Gallery is located in the Glen Helen Building at 405 Corry Street in Yellow Springs. Show hours are 9:30 am to 4:30 pm Monday through Friday and 10 am to 4 pm on Saturdays and Sundays. Admission is free. Artwork will be available for purchase with proceeds supporting the Glen Helen Nature Preserve.

KAOS comes to Yellow Springs!

Introducing: Karen’s Academy Of Sewing (KAOS) Theory and Practice

Local fabric artist Karen Jane Russell is offering sewing classes in the basement of the Yellow Springs United Methodist Church, 202 S. Winter. She is teaching all levels of fashion sewing from the very basic to basic haute couture, sewing machine care and maintenance, techniques of tailoring and pattern cutting, and how to make soft toys, soft furnishings, curtains, children’s clothing and costumes, prom dresses and more.

The current plan is to have a full day of open class where participants can drop in at the hours of their choosing to work on any project with Karen there to guide and assist. BYOSM (Bring Your Own Sewing Machine). Class fee is $10 for the first hour and $5 for subsequent hours along with a donation to the food pantry of either food or a minimum of $2 in cash. For now, classes are being held on Wednesdays, approximately 9 a.m.-2 p.m. but other days/times will be considered depending on class interest.

If you are interested, please contact the class administrator, Karen Lynn Moore, at (937) 689-4077 or karen.moore.2006@hotmail.com. She is also on Facebook (Karen Lynn).

KAOS students Jenny Delk Clark and Joel Moss Levinson practiced their sewing techniques while they learned to make an oven mitt. A ready-to-sew oven mitt kit is $5. The creative machine quilting on the front and back of the mitt is a great way to learn how to master a simple straight stitch.

Booth space available at Zombie Walk Oct. 22

The Yellow Springs 3rd Annual Zombie Walk will take place October 22 and is a charity event to raise money for 3 groups: affordable housing provider Home Inc.; the local food pantry; and a diabetic dog for a local child.

Wine and Dine for a Canine shows Ashton the love!

Saturday night’s Brandeberry Winery fundraiser for a diabetic assistance dog was a huge success on many levels. Both winery parking lots were filled to capacity as friends, family and mostly strangers came from all over the area to enjoy music by Full Circle, food from Bentino’s Pizza and Brandeberry’s new Blackberry wine, and donate money to help with the purchase of the dog. The dog is for Ashton Gueth, son of our beloved mail carrier, Adam, and his wife, Vanessa. Adam and Vanessa were shocked at the turnout and the generosity of local businesses.

A portion of the sale of bottles of blackberry wine were donated and Bentino’s Pizza donated 100% of all food orders. There were yummy homemade desserts for sale, a raffle, and Premier Jewelry which also donated 100% of proceeds to the cause. Ten-minute massages from Ferguson Chiropractic Solutions (wonderful massages with Sharon!!) were offered with 100% of the proceeds going towards the dog.

This is what Brandeberry Winery posted on their Facebook page afterwards:

“You not only opened your pocketbooks to help Ashton get his dog you opened your hearts and were so wonderful even though some of you waited hours to get your food. Your kindness is very much appreciated by everyone at the winery.

The turnout for Wine and Dine for a Canine was incredible. It was by far the busiest day the winery has ever seen. It shows what a caring community we live in. The generosity and kindness of everyone who came out was unbelievable. We had an issue with long term waiting for pizzas because of how we bombarded Bentino’s with orders. However, there wasn’t an angry person around. Every one of you was patient and understanding and I can’t thank you enough.”

A fundraiser is scheduled for October 1st at Peach’s Grill. Stay tuned for more details or contact Vanessa Gueth at vgueth@yahoo.com. Donations may also be made directly to an account at the Yellow Springs branch of US Bank under the name of Ashton Gueth.

Photos from Third Weekend Fling in the Springs

Third Weekend Fling in the Springs started off Friday, September 16, with artist receptions, music and wine-tasting in town.

The Dayton band, Matter of Chance, performed an impromptu benefit concert in Art Park at the corner of Dayton and Corry Streets. The concert was a benefit for the organization, For the Love of Children (FLOC), a charity for at risk youth in the Greater Dayton Area.

The music was an unexpected treat and captured the attention of passersby who then came into the gallery at Village Artisans to see new works by fabric artist Kate Burch.

Burch (left) uses a number of techniques in her work including digitized embroidery, machine quilting, and thread painting. Her work can be viewed at Village Artisans, 100 Corry Street, through the month of September. Gallery hours are Monday-Thursday, 11 a.m.-5 p.m., Friday and Saturday, 11 a.m.-6 p.m., and Sunday, noon-5 p.m.

Emporium Wines and Underdog Cafe hosted their Friday night wine-tasting and featured musical guests, The Show. The Show is a Yellow Springs-Springfield trio and includes band members Jessica Kinzer, Matt Housh, and Ryan Henry. Artwork currently on exhibit at the Emporium is "Works on Paper" by Michael Casselli (on exhibit through September 30). There was even artwork on the wine bottles!
