BUSINESS In Memory: Mary Ellen Slone
Mary Ellen Slone, a pioneer in Lexington advertising and communications, died November 6 at the age of 78. She founded one of Lexington’s early agencies, MER Advertising, in 1974, which later became Meridian Communications, and after a merger, Meridian-Chiles, which closed in 2014. She was named to Kentucky’s Advertising Hall of Fame. Councilmember Kathy Plomin wrote, “Mary Ellen was indeed a mentor for many of us who were watching her in admiration of all she was doing in her own special way. She was ambitious and smart but had so much fun along the way. I learned much from MER as she set the pace for women especially in the field of communications.” Memorial contributions are suggested to the Alzheimer’s Foundation of America; Bluegrass Hospice Care; Good Shepherd Episcopal Church; or the Lexington Humane Society (1600 Old Frankfort Pike, Lexington, KY 40504).
In Memory: Karl Michler
Karl Winfield Michler died Monday October 25 at the age of 101. Karl, born on June 5, 1920 to Louis Alexander Michler and Carrie White Duncan Michler, grew up on Maxwell Street next door to the family greenhouse business. In Karl’s senior year as a Horticulture student at UK, he was drafted into the US Army where he attained the rank of Staff Sergeant as a medic in the 170th General Hospital Unit. He met USO Volunteer Jean Vogt, and the two later married and raised a family while operating the family florist business. He was president of the Kentucky Florist Association and District Representative for FTD, traveling the state to meet florists across the Bluegrass. Karl was preceded in death by his loving wife of 75 years, Jean Vogt Michler, though the two enjoyed many years of postretirement travel together.
In Memory: Congressman Larry Hopkins
Former U.S. Congressman for Kentucky’s Sixth Congressional District, Larry Hopkins, died November 15, 2021. He served three terms in Kentucky’s house of representatives, and seven terms in Congress. He was active in the campaign to name Keeneland a national historic landmark and helped establish Lexington’s Annual Women’s conference. He is survived by wife Carolyn Pennebaker Hopkins and their children, Tara Hopkins; KET Executive Director Shae Hopkins; and the actor Josh Hopkins. A memorial service will be held in the Rotunda of the Kentucky State Capitol in Frankfort on Saturday, December 4th at Noon. The family suggests memorial contributions to KET, Kentucky Educational Television.

The Comeback Kid Coach Matthew Mitchell stages a ‘blue Christmas’ BY KEVIN NANCE
C
Photo by Kevin Nance
oach Matthew Mitchell, who retired last year as head coach of the Kentucky Wildcats women’s basketball team, is staging a
comeback. No, the two-time SEC Coach of the Year — whose retirement was related to an injury he suffered while hiking on vacation in Mexico in March 2020 — will not be returning to the sidelines at Memorial Coliseum or Rupp Arena. Instead he’ll be taking a different stage: the Lexington Opera House, where he and his Coach Mitchell Band, an eight-person ensemble of Nashville musicians, will give a Christmas concert on December 7, 2021. Mitchell, 50, will show off his mellow tenor in what he calls “jazzed-up” holiday classics along with an original song, “Christmas in Kentucky,” which he co-wrote with Stephen McWilliams. Released as a single on iTunes and Spotify last month as the title track of the band’s upcoming album, the song imagines “a white Christmas in blue Kentucky / oh how lucky we are.”
“T
his Christmas, I just wanted people in Kentucky to know how grateful I am to become a Kentuckian,” the Mississippi native says in our recent interview. “It’s my home now and I have a love affair with Kentucky, which is what this concert is all about. We’re going to have a lot of fun.” Proceeds from the 7 p.m. concert will support Fayette County Public Schools’ extracurricular youth leadership development programs through the Bluegrass Community Foundation and the coach’s own Mitchell Family Foundation, which has awarded about $500,000 to local charities over the past four years. “Coach Mitchell Presents Christmas in Kentucky” promises to be something of a turning point in his musical sideline, which began in the mid-1990s — when he was still a high school basketball coach in Mississippi — with a pickup band called Coach Mitchell and the B-Team. “We played a lot and had a good time,” he recalls. “I always loved to sing.”

N
ow that the famous retiree has more time to devote to fronting the band — which at the Opera House will boast two guitarists, a bass player, a drummer, a keyboardist and a threeperson horn section, all ringers from Nashville
— Mitchell envisions its performance schedule picking up considerably, to as many as 20 to 25 concerts in 2022. “It’s not going to be my full-time job, but it’s going to be a lot of fun for me,” he says. “We just like for people to dance and clap and be entertained.” A new band website will soon launch, Mitchell says, as will the new Christmas album. He and the band will be performing the record’s entire song list at the Opera House. “I’m not sure I have a great review I can give myself — all I know is that I love to do it,” he says modestly. Only when pressed does he admit, “I can definitely carry a tune.”

When he started coaching college ball at Tennessee and Florida, the job was “very demanding, so I took a sizable break,” he recalls. Years later, his wife, Jenna, mentioned to a friend that Mitchell — by then head coach for women’s basketball at Kentucky — had once sung in a band. That led to a performance of the newly formed Coach Mitchell Band at the Children’s Charity of the Bluegrass Golf Classic. Since then, the band has had five or six gigs a year, mostly playing up-tempo covers of classic rock at fundraising events.
“This Christmas, I just wanted people in Kentucky to know how grateful I am to become a Kentuckian...It’s my home now and I have a love affair with Kentucky, which is what this concert is all about.”

Ham for the Holidays
After filling a large roasting pan with 1 cup water, 1/2 cup white wine, 3 bay leaves, 2 cloves whole peeled garlic cloves, fresh thyme sprigs, and a few cloves, I placed the ham cut side down into the roasting pan, covered the ham with aluminum foil, and slid it into a preheated 325 degree oven for 2 1/2 hours, about 16 minutes per pound. Getting sticky. Pomegranate brings a perky tartness to the party that somehow tempers the typical cloyingly sweet temperament of a traditional ham glaze. After reducing 2 cups pomegranate juice by half, I added 1 cup fresh squeezed mandarin orange juice, 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice, 1/4 cup light brown sugar, 1/4 cup granulated sugar, 1/3 cup Olberholzter’s Sorghum, 1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger, salt, and black pepper. I brought the glaze to a boil, reduced it to simmer, and let it bubble away until it had the consistency of... well..glaze before pulling it from the heat and setting it aside.
BY TOM YATES
T
here were two things you count on come Christmas growing up. Magnolia leaves would adorn our farmhouse and cured country ham would take center stage. The week before Christmas was ham-tending time. With our ham shed long gone, our cured Christmas hams were handpicked and procured weeks in advance from various local folks who took the time to do such things. After the hams were soaked in several changes of water for days, simmered on a low flame for hours, wrapped in blankets to steam and cool down, the humble whole country hams were ready for their closeup. Year after year, when the Christmas ham hit the table served on my mother’s fine bone china under the dim glow and flickering whisper of tree lights, I knew Christmas had arrived. In my book, there was no need for anything else. It was all about the ham. Nowadays, I go back and forth with various methods for preparing Christmas ham. While old school country ham takes my heart home for the holidays, I’m always game for a sticky glazed smoked ham. It’s about the Christmas spirit. As long as there’s ham.

Pomegranate Citrus Glazed Bone-In Smoked Ham.
First of all, spiral cut hams are fabulous. While they’re incredibly easy to prepare and serve, I like to have slicing options. There will always be leftovers. Always. Aside from using the bone for stock, soup beans, or greens, ham leftovers can run the gamut. It’s always good to have a variety of cuts to play with. Thick cut, thin cut. diced, torn, or shredded, whole half hams deliver the option. Ham it up. I rarely, if ever, trim extra fat off of ham. Fat is flavor. Fat is fabulous. Working with a 10 pound shank portion of a bone-in smoked half ham, I scored the outer surface of the ham 1/4” deep in a 1” diagonal pattern.
Lipstick on a pig. When the internal temp of the ham hit 145 degrees, I pulled it from the oven, removed the aluminum foil, brushed the ham with the pomegranate glaze, cranked the oven to 425, and slid the ham back into the oven. Keeping a close eye, I brushed the ham with additional glaze every 15 minutes until it caramelized and lacquered up. After pulling the ham from the oven to rest for 20 minutes, I nestled it onto a bed of fresh magnolia with sliced pomegranate, lemons, mandarin oranges, and persimmons. Ham for the holidays.
ACE EATS OUT Gumbo Ya Ya is closing their South Broadway location after 18 years, and consolidating its operations to its Brannon Crossing location.
AppHarvest hit the road in November to “Fight the Food Fight,” continuing its “mission to build a resilient, American-owned food system through well-paying jobs in agriculture and sustainable farm operations.” Their food truck offered tours of its mobile greenhouse at several Lexington stops.
BIRTHS The new Dunkin Donuts is now open on Versailles Road and Pita Pit has opened on Limestone. Sonny’s BBQ has returned to the Lexington market in the former Bob Evans location in Hamburg. (It previously enjoyed many years in its 80s and 90s home on Red Mile Road.)
OBITS Papa Murphy’s, a take and bake pizza outlet in Hamburg, has closed. After 35 years in an anchor position at the corner of Main and Broadway, Sawyer’s Downtown, temporarily closed due to Covidrelated declines in downtown traffic, is not expected to re-open.
TRANSITIONS Alfalfa’s downtown location has closed. The restaurant announced “we are no longer downtown....WE ARE MOVING! We are temporarily closed for the 2021 year as we make this transition for 2022.” Reno and construction are in progress at 652 E. Main, the former location of Long John Silver’s and later A&W, making room for the forthcoming Louisville-based Biscuit Belly fastcasual franchise.
Lynagh’s has opened an additional sister kitchen concept at their Woodland location. Zuckerman’s Deli is a “scratch kitchen that specializes in Jewish comfort food for carryout. Everything is made in small batches so order at least a day ahead to make sure you get your first choice.”

Ace’s Read It and Eat It This Must Be the Place: Dispatches and Food from the Home Front By Rachael Ray
(Ballantine Books)
R
achael Ray’s new “cookbook” — her 27th — is the closest she’s ever come to a full-on memoir, but there’s one hiding in there, in between the recipes. With This Must Be the Place, she chronicles her year at home with her husband John, as the two of them produce her show mid-pandemic, mostly on iPhone, at least at the beginning. But she digs deeper than recipes this time around, and admits that this book “crosses that line,” the line she’d always tried to maintain between home and work. The pandemic left her no choice but to invite viewers into her home-style production of her show. She admits, “I’ve always thought of my home upstate as a refuge, a safe place away from my career in the public eye… I wanted to keep our secret garden, our crazy fort, our treehouse/clubhouse to ourselves, to be shared with only our closest friends and family.” Five months into the process, just as she’d begun to solve the supply chain issues and wrestled her home pantry into an OCD dream suitable to a television production, their home burned down, and they moved both their lives and their production to their guesthouse (admittedly a high-class, unrelatable problem for most, but no less tragic). Three days after the fire, she writes, “I had a message from my producers: we need pictures of the guesthouse and your plan for how to proceed.” She also writes movingly, and very specifically, about the heartbreak of her vet making a housecall to help her put her ailing dog, Isaboo, to sleep — finding
some consolation that the silver lining of being forcibly housebound meant they’d spent more time with her during “the last months of her life than at any other time in our fifteen years together. Again, in loss, we look for meaning.” Of course there are recipes: one pot wonders, an imaginative grilled-cheese sandwich, and cocktails (mostly from John), pastas, and a lot of takes on chicken. There’s also strategies for coping with shutdowns, as she and her friends came up with zoom “Cook Alongs” (the See You Next Tuesday Cooking Club, adding “whether you get the joke or not, our food is amazing!”) The book wraps up with a section on “Hope for the Holidays,” as she looked for things to be grateful for in a year that saw the loss of their home of 15 years and their dog of 15 years. And she found many… like her friends who replaced her cookbook collection, with accompanying letters written by the chefs themselves (including Jacques Pepin); like the painting of their dog by Howard Stern that somehow survived the fire; and of course there’s the new rescue in their life, Bella. And if you need a clever way to use up all those holiday leftovers, there’s a Pilgrim Sandwich featuring turkey schnitzel that just might do the trick.

Nick Offerman’s new book, Where the Deer and the Antelope Play, is a book-length ode to Kentucky icon Wendell Berry (along with the late sometimes Kentuckian, playwright Sam Shepard.). Woodworker/actor Offerman credits his 1995 introduction to Berry’s work to the late Kentucky actor, Leo Burmester. He says “the marrow of Wendell Berry’s writing managed to reach something in my own bones.”
Chris Stapleton and Carly Pearce, both Kentucky natives, won the top mail and top female vocalist of the year at the 2021 CMA’s. Stapleton’s album and single Starting Over also won Song of the Year and Album of the Year.

Bitter Elves
From the 1997 Ace Archives
I’ve met elves from all walks of life. Most of them are show business people, actors and dancers, but a surprising number of them held real jobs at advertising agencies and brokerage firms. Bless their hearts, these people never imagined there was a velvet costume waiting in their future. They’re the really bitter elves.
- David Sedaris, “SantaLand Diaries” David Sedaris’s Holidays on Ice (1997) takes holiday traditions that have long been wrung dry of any wit or comedy and invests them not just with new life, but the ultimate in delighted savagery. In “Season’s Greetings to Our Friends and Family,” for example, the wretched tradition of Christmas newsletters is skewered and flamed to a nearly unbelievable crisp (“There’s no way the Dunbar family can grieve their terrible loss and carry on the traditions of the season. No family is that strong’ you’re thinking to yourselves. Well, think again!!!!!!!!!! ...The bitter tears were still wet upon our faces when the police returned to Tiffany Circle, where they began their ruthless questioning of Yours Truly!!!!!!!!!”)
“Front Row Center” opens with the narrator’s introduction to “any of the crucifying holiday plays and pageants currently eliciting screams of mercy from within the confines of our local elementary and middle schools. I will, no doubt, be taken to task for criticizing the work of children but, as any pathologist will agree, if there’s a cancer, it’s best to treat it as early as possible.” But the book’s classic is undoubtedly “SantaLand Diaries.” The title says it all, and yet it doesn’t begin to capture the unique agony of an elf at Macy’s: “I had two people say that to me today, ‘I’m going to have you fired.’ Go ahead, be my guest. I’m wearing a green velvet costume, it doesn’t get any worse than
18 | December 2021 | acemagazinelex.com
this. Who do these people think they are? ‘I’m going to have you fired!’ I wanted to lean over and say, ‘I’m going to have you killed.’”) If there’s a motif that emerges in every story, it is Sedaris’s fear of being unremarkable. In “SantaLand Diaries,” he reflects on the children’s requests of Santa, “It is sad because you would like to believe that everyone is unique and then they disappoint you every time by being exactly the same.” Later he adds, “All of us take pride and pleasure in the fact that we are unique, but I’m afraid that when all is said and done the police are right: it all comes down to fingerprints.” The book concludes with the absurd “Christmas Means Giving,” which offers handy holiday advice like “Generosity can actually make people feel quite uncomfortable if you talk about it enough. I don’t mean the bad ‘boring uncomfortable’ but something much richer. If practiced correctly, generosity can induce feelings of shame, inadequacy, and even envy, to name just a few.” God bless us every one. And to all a good night.

ROB BREZSNY’S FREE WILL ASTROLOGY ARIES (March 21-April 19): It’s a favorable time to get excited about your long-range future and to entertain possibilities that have previously been on the edges of your awareness. I’d love to see you open your heart to the sweet dark feelings you’ve been sensing, and open your mind to the disruptive but nourishing ideas you need, and open your gut to the rumbling hunches that are available. Be brave, Aries! Strike up conversations with the unexpected, the unknown, and the undiscovered.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Gemini author Chuck Klosterman writes, “It’s far easier to write why something is terrible than why it’s good.” That seems to be true for many writers. However, my life’s work is in part a rebellion against doing what’s easy. I don’t want to chronically focus on what’s bad and sick and desolate. Instead, I aspire to devote more of my energy to doing what Klosterman implies is hard, which is to write sincerely (but not naively) about the many things that are good and redemptive and uplifting. In light of your current astrological omens, Gemini, I urge you to adopt my perspective for your own use in the next three weeks. Keep in mind what philosopher Robert Anton Wilson said: “An optimistic mindset finds dozens of possible solutions for every problem that the pessimist regards as incurable.” CANCER (June 21-July 22): An organization in Turkey decided to construct a new building to house its workers. The Saruhanbey Knowledge, Culture, and Education Foundation chose a plot in the city of Manisa. But there was a problem. A three-centuries-old pine tree stood on the land. Local authorities would not permit it to be cut down. So architects designed a building with spaces and holes that fully accommodated the tree. I recommend you regard this marvel as a source of personal inspiration in the coming weeks and months. How could you work gracefully with nature as you craft your future masterpiece or labor of love? How might you work around limitations to create useful, unusual beauty?
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Author Melissa Broder wrote a preposterous essay in which she ruminated, “Is fake love better than real love? Real love is responsibility, compromise, selflessness, being present, and all that. Fake love is magic, excitement, false hope, infatuation, and getting high off the potential that another person is going to save you from yourself.” I will propose, Leo, that
you bypass such ridiculous thinking about love in the coming weeks and months. Here’s why: There’s a strong chance that the real love at play in your life will feature magic and excitement, even as it requires responsibility, compromise, selflessness, and being present. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Virgo author Andre Dubus III describes times when “I feel stupid, insensitive, mediocre, talentless and vulnerable —like I’m about to cry any second —and wrong.” That sounds dreadful, right? But it’s not dreadful for him. Just the opposite. “I’ve found that when that happens,” he concludes, “it usually means I’m writing pretty well, pretty deeply, pretty rawly.” I trust you will entertain a comparable state sometime soon, Virgo. Even if you’re not a writer, the bounty and fertility that emerge from this immersion in vulnerability will invigorate you beyond what you can imagine. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): “The problem with putting two and two together is that sometimes you get four, and sometimes you get 22.” Author Dashiell Hammett said that, and now I’m passing it on to you, just in time for a phase of your cycle when putting two and two together will probably not bring four, but rather 22 or some other irregularity. I’m hoping that since I’ve given you a heads-up, it won’t be a problem. On the contrary. You will be prepared and will adjust faster than anyone else, thereby generating a dose of exotic good fortune.
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): In her poem “Is/Not,” Scorpio poet Margaret Atwood tells a lover, “You are not my doctor, you are not my cure, nobody has that power, you are merely a fellow traveler.” I applaud her for stating an axiom I’m fond of, which is that no one, not even the person who loves you best, can ever be totally responsible for fixing everything wrong in your life. However, I do think Atwood goes too far. On some occasions, certain people can indeed provide us with a measure of healing. And we must be receptive to that possibility. We shouldn’t be so pathologically selfsufficient that we close ourselves off from tender help. One more thing: Just because that help may be imperfect doesn’t mean it’s useless and should be rejected. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): “All my days I have longed equally to travel the right road and to take my own errant path,” wrote Norwegian-Danish novelist Sigrid Undset. I think she succeeded in
doing both. She won a Nobel Prize for Literature. Her trilogy about a 14th-century Norwegian woman was translated into 80 languages. I conclude that for her, as well as for you, in the coming weeks and months traveling the right road and taking your own errant path will be the same thing.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Capricorn author Susan Sontag unleashed a bizarre boast, writing, “One of the healthiest things about me — my capacity to survive, to bounce back, to prosper — is intimately connected with my biggest neurotic liability: my facility in disconnecting from my feelings.” Everything about her statement makes me scream NO! I mean, I believe this coping mechanism worked for her; I don’t begrudge her that. But as a student of psychology and spirituality, I know that disconnecting from feelings is, for most of us, the worst possible strategy if we want to be healthy and sane. And I will advise you to do the opposite of Sontag in the coming weeks. December is Stay Intimately Connected with Your Feelings Month.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): In some small towns in the Philippines, people can be punished and fined for gossiping. Some locals have become reluctant to exchange tales about the sneaky, sexy, highly entertaining things their neighbors are doing. They complain that their freedom of speech has been curtailed. If you lived in one of those towns, I’d advise you to break the law in the coming weeks. In my astrological opinion, dynamic gossip should be one of your assets. Staying well-informed about the human comedy will be key for your ability to thrive.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): “Originality consists in thinking for yourself, and not in thinking unlike other people,” wrote Piscean author James Fitzjames Stephen (1829-1894). Another way to say it: Being rebellious is not inherently creative. If you primarily define yourself by rejecting and reacting against someone’s ideas, you are being controlled by those ideas. Please keep this in mind, dear Pisces. I want you to take full advantage of your astrological potential during the next 12 months, which is to be absolutely original. Your perceptions and insights will be unusually lucid if you protect yourself from both groupthink and a compulsive repudiation of groupthink.

HOME AND GARDEN America in Bloom
Lexington to allow ADUs
America In Bloom-Lexington hosted The Big Dig in memory of late councilmember Jake Gibbs at Charles Young Park Daffodil Drift. America in Bloom Lexington, with the help of community volunteers, planted one thousand assorted daffodil bulbs in memory of Jake Gibbs, AIB Lexington’s 2021 Community Champion Award winner. Gibb’s Daffodil Drift, which will bloom for the first time in Spring of 2022, will be adjacent to Mrs. Yvonne Giles Daffodil Drift, the 2020 Award Winner. The Drifts are located behind the Charles Young Center, on Shropshire Avenue, off of Third Street. Daffodils are perennials. They bloom around the same time each year, their blooms tend to last for weeks, and they also propagate (multiply) over the years.
Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs) are smaller, secondary independent housekeeping establishments located on the same lot as a principal dwelling. ADUs are independently habitable and provide the basic requirements of shelter, heating, cooking, and sanitation. Imagine Lexington reports, “After a yearslong process of research, development, and review — the ordinance allowing for Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs) has officially been passed by the Urban County Council! The Division of Planning conducted a large outreach and education campaign that focused on ADUs throughout 2019. The proposed ordinance, which was shaped significantly by public input collected during the outreach campaign, was unanimously passed by the Planning Commission in October 2019. From there, the ordinance was passed to the Planning and Public Safety Committee of the Urban County Council.” In September 2021, the ordinance was reviewed, with additional public input, and revised again. It was then approved by Council at the end of October 2021.
