Embry’s is Closing
FEATURE
And another era ends in Lexington BY SAMMY BEAM
E
mbry’s, a beloved Lexington retail establishment for nearly 120 years, is closing. This might not mean much to recent generations, but it’s a sad passing for those of us who remember the faces, personalities, the aura, the reputation, and the merchandise that made Embry’s, Embry’s, for so many years. I was hired by William R. Embry, Jr. as the Window Designer and print ad Fashion Illustrator for his business in September of 1982. I will always cherish the memories of my formative adult years there, and consider the experience the most valuable asset of my education. When I left Embry’s, I took with me the commitment to excellence, ethical practices, compliance, and completion that I had picked up from my employer and my colleagues at that grand old retail institution. And was it ever grand! In the autumn of 1904, the “Mr. E” that we all knew and loved was yet to be born. His paternal aunt was running a hat shop in a section of the first floor of 141 East Main Street. At the time, the four-story building also housed a tea room and a bath house, among other smaller businesses. Mr. Embry’s father persuaded his sister to allow him to come on board and to consider adding ladies’ “shirtwaists,” (dresses), to their retail offerings. She agreed, so off he went to New York. Using charm and wit, he secured a line of credit, and placed the company’s first orders. And that’s how Embry’s, as we knew it, was founded. In only a few years, it would warrant the use of the entire building and eventually become the most elegant retail establishment in town, offering merchandise and atmosphere comparable to what could be found in Cincinnati or even New York. Shopping at Embry’s on Main Street was a sensory experience that aimed to delight. One might have been drawn inside by the fragrance of the day, be it Jean Patou’s Joy or Pierre Balmain’s Vent Vert, that was wafted into the street by a seemingly magical, supersized electric atomizer. Embry’s is often recalled, by anyone who remembers it in its downtown heyday, as “that store that
smelled so good.” When I arrived in Lexington, the original downtown location, on East Main Street, was no longer used for sales, but was still the company’s corporate headquarters and distribution center. Times had changed, and Embry’s had changed with them. Retail focus was aimed at several mall locations across the state, and on the satellite departments that were leased to other exclusive retail establishments across the country.
“Trapped pigeons, looking for exits, fluttered past skeletons of chandeliers now looted of their crystals.” Meanwhile, every area of the once glamorous downtown store was pressed into service to accommodate a booming, modern fashion retail business. I recall the surreality of the situation and I was appreciative of its absurd charm in real time. Buyers claimed office space wherever they could: in defunct fitting rooms or in areas penned in by outdated sales cases. My office was in what had been the designer dress salon at the rear of the second floor. It was crowded with old mannequin parts, tools, and Christmas trees, but it also had an enormous Empire chandelier, miles of peach-colored satin draperies, and two enormous and ornate gilded pier mirrors. Embry’s did not own the building at 141 East Main Street, but it enjoyed the advantage of a 99-year lease that kept it in place for eighty four years or so. They relocated to other headquarters shortly after I left their employ, so most of my memories are centered on the building where I began my career. I do have one more memory of the old place, though, after Embry’s had moved on. By the early 1990s, the Embry’s building on Main Street had sat vacant and abandoned for a while. Aside from being used as a Jaycee’s Haunted House during one Halloween season, it was all but forgotten. The general consensus was that it would eventually be torn down. So one sunny, breezy Sunday
Vintage Embry's ads by Sammy Beam afternoon, some friends and I were walking downtown and, when we got to 141, we decided to do some exploring. From behind the building, we could see that a second floor exit door was open and flapping in the wind at the top of a fire escape. We entered, from that point, a storage corridor that led to what had once been my office. Moving through the familiar, forlorn spaces was a lot like that scene from Great Expectations where Pip goes back to Satis House long after Miss Havisham is dead. When my eyes had adjusted to the darkness, every view prompted a memory of what had stood in that place in days gone by. Trapped pigeons, looking for exits, fluttered past skeletons of chandeliers now looted of their crystals. Abstract black adhesive patterns stretched across walls once adorned by mirrors. A creepy dripping sound in the distance explained the moldy odor that hung so thickly in the air. As I approached the little hallway that had once led to my boss’s office, my heart skipped a beat and then it sank. On the floor were a pile of old, discarded photo albums. They were the advertising scrapbooks that I’d once hated having to glue newspaper clippings into. It had seemed so silly and futile a chore, given that I had far more important things to do. Seeing them strewn about, abandoned, with their pages of my old illustrations rustling in the moldy breeze, made me feel old and tossed aside. I was elated and relieved when it was decided that 141 East Main Street would be preserved and be given a new life as a black box theater and an art gallery. When visiting Lexington from California, I was so tickled to visit my friend, Ann Tower, at her gallery in the beautifully revamped
place of which I was so fond. Then we lost Ann, many years too soon, and it became “The Pam Miller Downtown Arts Center,” or something like that. Considering this choice always takes me back to the same question: How and why is the Embry name not attached to this historic building after being known as, and loved by, all of Lexington as “The Embry’s building” for eighty four years? But I digress. Over these many years, I’ve remained in touch with the Embry family and with several of my esteemed colleagues from our days together. Many are now dear life-long friends. I mourned the passing of William R. Embry, Jr., whom I will always consider my first boss and whom I’ll always consider one of the finest men that I will ever know. I mourned again when I’d heard that the company was sold, out of the family, a few years ago... although I understood the situation and I know how all things must change with time. Now, facing the finality of the diminished company’s closure, rather than mourn its passing, I’m so much happier to look back at its past and remember how much it mattered to so many Lexingtonians, and for such an impressive length of time.

At ‘First Blush’
Kevin Nance’s photos and poems at UK HealthCare are a homecoming BY KAKIE URCH, WITH KRISTINA ROSEN
T
he poet, photographer and arts writer Kevin Nance is back in Lexington and back in stride with a new show “Even If: Photographs and Haiku,” now on display as part of the UK Arts in HealthCare program. UK Healthcare has acquired the show, now on display in Pavilion A, for its permanent collection.
8 | aceweekly.com | March 2020
“It’s really about my return from the ultimate autumn,” Nance said about show, which cycles through through winter, spring, summer, autumn, and back to a frozen Chicago winter. The “Even If” show, which presents 20 of Nance’s landscape and nature abstract photography works paired with an aligned haiku he wrote, also
has a chapbook which includes a few more pairs. The chapbook was designed by (former Ace art director) James Shambhu, who is now with UK Arts In HealthCare. Nance, well known as a HeraldLeader writer and editor in the 90s, went on to be the Theatre/ Dance reporter at the Tennessean in Nashville, then did five years as the Chicago Sun Times Art and Architecture critic, leaving to do PR for a major architecture firm in 2008. He later built his freelance career writing about books for the Washington Post and USA Today, visual arts for the Wall Street Journal and poetry features for Poets & Writers Magazines. Nance first took up photography seriously eight years ago. The 20 pieces at UK illustrate that despite what Nance describes as initial frustration until he understood that great photography was not taking pictures of objects, but taking pictures of light falling on its object. Nance says he returned to Lexington from Chicago — one year ago on March 1 — because after a severe medical issue with his knee that left him unable to walk for three months and increasingly isolated, he realized that “the best friends I ever made in my life were right here in Lexington.” Nance, who had written poetry all his life and had won the 2003 Robert Penn Warren Poetry Prize, said he had
a community of poets in Lexington when he was first here. And, he had a community of poets in Nashville. But in Chicago, he did not have that community. And that led to a slide of his poetic production — into nothing. He credits a return to the Lexington community and his community of poets here with enabling his return to poetry writing that led to this show of pairings.
He credits a return to Lexington and his community of poets here with enabling his return to writing that begat "Even If." Linda Bryant, Kimberly Miller, Laverne Zabielski, Larry Vogt, Joe Anthony and Coleman Davis are key members of his current circle. He appears as a regular responder on Laverne’s Writing Workshop from
FEATURE since last April,” he said, in the Sunday sunshine spilling in on Pavilion A, as a man in the chapel beyond the photographs recited a kaddish. From a tree standing alone in the 9-below cold with Lake Michigan in front and Nance’s North Lake Shore Drive apartment behind to a pinktinted redbud tree at Linda Bryant’s Big Hill, Kentucky artist retreat, Nance exposes the year and puts the words to the season.
“The best friends I ever made in my life were right here in Lexington.” —Kevin Nance Two things are key in haiku, Nance said. “Compression and focus — but it also needs to feel easy — [it] has to feel like a natural utterance,” he said. It is the interplay between these tight yet easy tercets set on detail plates designed by Shambhu next to the photographs that lets the light in. That’s pretty much what Nance set out
8-9 p.m. Wednesdays on RadioLEX WLXU 93.9 FM. He has also been a featured guest on “Lexington Art Throb,” Kate Savage’s show on RadioLEX and will be on “Accents,” Katarina Stoykova’s show on WRFL-FM. He is grateful to Jason Akhtarekhavari, manager of UK’s Arts in HealthCare project, for embracing the idea of the visual art with poetry.
“O
ur mission is to create an environment of care and to focus on the spiritual, emotional and physical well-being of our patients, family, caregivers and staff,” says Akhtarekhavari. “UK’s Arts in HealthCare recognizes the arts and the artists as powerful and positive forces in the healing process.” Akhtarekhavari explains that over the past few years, the National Organization for Arts in Health has spearheaded significant advancements in the field of arts in health. As
to do. He wanted to reflect on nature, on the seasons, on healing through interaction with nature — all common haiku themes — but also didn’t want to be “Polly Anna-ish” about it. “We do get old. We do get sick. We do die,” Nance said. “And yet, in between our birth and our death, if we’re lucky we get to see things like those depicted in the photographs and enjoy them.” Go see Kevin Nance’s show and read it. Spring is coming. ‘Even if’ is now on display near the Myra Leigh Tobin Chapel in Pavilion at UK Healthcare and has been acquired for UK’s permanent collection. Nance’s photography exhibit, Noir, will open at the Lexington Public Library East Side branch on March 1 (through April 30). He will do a reading at the Carnegie Center for Literacy and Learning this spring. Kakie Urch is a journalist and editor. She is Associate Professor of Multimedia in the UK School of Journalism and Media.
someone who believes that the arts are essential to human health and wellness, Akhtarekhavari understands the power of art to symbolize hope and healing as well as a respite from the grief, anxiety and pain of an experience. “Most of our exhibits in The Chapel Gallery feature artists with strong ties to the Lexington community and display works by artists that believe in the value of the arts in a healthcare setting. Kevin believes in the importance of utilizing the arts to positively impact patients, family, visitors and staff. Given the contemplative nature of Kevin’s photographs, particularly in combination with the accompanying haiku poetry, it seemed a perfect fit in the gallery near the chapel.”
I
n the year he has been back in Lexington, Nance has returned to poetry and taken up haiku as a form. “Every one of these poems I wrote

HEALTH & OUTDOORS NEWS Fight the Flu Flu shots are available at the Public Health Clinic (650 Newtown Pike) without an appointment on Monday, Tuesday and Friday from 9 am to 3 pm, and from 9 am to 6 pm on Wednesday.

A seasonal flu shot is one way to fight the flu each winter, and the flu can be especially dangerous for senior adults, young children, and anyone with other medical risks.
Recycle Safely Councilmember Angela Evans has shared information about the danger of recycling medical waste. “Medical waste is causing problems at Lexington’s Recycle Center at an increasing rate. Its presence causes serious safety issues for employees working the line and results in material being sent to the landfill, much of which could have been recycled. The highest impact offenders are needles, dialysis bags and tubes, IV bags and tubes and vials. These are biohazards that pose a threat to the people who play a vital role in the sorting process. The Recycle Center staff do their best to catch these contaminants in the room where the trucks dump their loads, but medical waste still makes its way onto the sorting line… Employees have been stuck by needles, which requires medical treatment. The dialysis and IV tubes wrap around moving parts of the machinery. People have to climb into the machines and cut them out, causing downtime. If any of the biohazard material makes its way through the complete sorting process and into a bale of materials, companies won’t purchase sorted materials. Though the problem is serious, the solution is simple. Dispose of medical waste properly. It is not recyclable. Put it with biohazard or landfill-bound waste. More information, along with downloadable flyers on what can be recycled, can be found at LexingtonKY.gov/Recycling”

Blending Bourbon By Aimee Nielson
D
on McGrew knows bourbon, from seed to sip, barrel to bottle. He’s been in the spirits industry for more than a quarter of a century and is currently the Americas blending technical manager for the James B. Beam Distilling Company. Recently, he was a guest lecturer for students in the UK College of Agriculture, Food and Environment to inspire the next generation of blenders. Students in the Distilling Studies certificate program listened as McGrew told stories of his years in the industry and passed around sniff samples so students could smell the difference. “Primarily, my job is to get the right barrels into the right bottles,” McGrew said. “We have a lot of different products out there on the market, and it takes quite a bit of craftsmanship to make sure you have the right blends going into them.” A blender must take into account the location of barrels in the maturation warehouse, the age of the spirit and its combined maturity. Bourbon is a natural product, where no color, flavor or grain neutral can be added, so it is a matter of selecting and combining barrels to give each product a distinctive character. McGrew explained the importance of knowing every part of the process, all the way from the raw materials to the packaging. “You need to develop a strong ability to identify and describe the critical sensory effects throughout the whole manufacturing process,” he said. It doesn’t happen overnight. McGrew said at Jim Beam, they train future blenders by exposing them to various scents and ingredients over a period of years. He said it takes at least
Students enrolled in the Distilling Studies Certificate program listened to Don McGrew five years to gain enough experience to become confident. His current apprentice has been training with him for more than two years. “I am just making sure he gets the same exposure I have had and that he learns to ask the same types of questions I have asked in my career,” McGrew said. “I’m confident you’ll meet him in the future.” Seth DeBolt, professor and director of the James B. Beam Institute for Kentucky Spirits at UK, teaches the class. He believes it’s important for the students to get as much real-world interaction as possible. Many of the students already work in the spirits industry, but even for them, getting a different perspective is valuable. “He is an incredible wealth of knowledge from production all the way through the sensory aspects,” DeBolt said. “To have him here telling the students how he works with natural barrel variation to create consistency within these products, from firsthand knowledge, is transformational for the students. It ties all the bits we’ve been through together. It ties together all the various roles we’ve learned about, from production, grains, all the way through to the packaging, into one cohesive unit.” Read the full story on aceweekly.com

FREE WILL ASTROLOGY by Rob Brezsny
ARIES (March 21-April 19): You may sometimes reach a point where you worry that conditions are not exactly right to pursue your dreams or fulfill your holy quest. Does that describe your current situation? If so, I invite you to draw inspiration from Spanish writer Miguel de Cervantes, who's regarded as one of history's foremost novelists. Here's how one observer described Cervantes during the time he was working on his masterpiece, the novel titled Don Quixote: "shabby, obscure, disreputable, pursued by debts, with only a noisy tenement room to work in." Cervantes dealt with imperfect conditions just fine. TAURUS (April 20-May 20): "True success is figuring out your life and career so you never have to be around jerks," says Taurus filmmaker, actor, and author John Waters. I trust that you have been intensely cultivating that kind of success in the last few weeks, Taurusand that you will climax this wondrous accomplishment with a flourish during the next few weeks. You're on the verge of achieving a new level of mastery in the art of immersing yourself in environments that bring out the best in you. GEMINI (May 21-June 20): I would love for you to become more powerful, Gemini, not necessarily in the sense of influencing the lives of others, but rather in the sense of managing your own affairs with relaxed confidence and crisp competence. What comes to mind when I urge you to expand your self-command and embolden your ambition? Is there an adventure you could initiate that would bring out more of the swashbuckler in you? CANCER (June 21-July 22): For my Cancerian readers in the Southern Hemisphere, this oracle will be in righteous alignment with the natural flow of the seasons. That's because now is the hottest, laziest, most spacious time of year in that part of the world — a logical moment to take a lavish break from the daily rhythm and escape on a vacation or pilgrimage designed to provide relaxation and renewal. Which is exactly what I'm advising for all of the earth's Cancerians, including those in the Northern Hemisphere. So for those of you above the equator, I urge you to consider thinking like those below the equator. If you can't get away, make a blanket fort in your home and pretend. Or read a book that takes you on an imaginary journey. Or hang out at an exotic sanctuary in your hometown. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Leo author Walter Scott was a pioneer in the genre of the historical novel. His stories were set in various eras of the Scottish past. In those pre-telephone and pre-Internet days, research was a demanding task. Scott traveled
widely to gather tales from keepers of the oral tradition. In accordance with current astrological omens, Leo, I recommend that you draw inspiration from Scott's old-fashioned approach. Seek out direct contact with the past. Put yourself in the physical presence of storytellers and elders. Get first-hand knowledge about historical events that will inspire your thoughts about the future of your life story. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Over a period of 40 years, the artist Rembrandt gazed into a mirror as he created more than ninety selfportraits about ten percent of his total work. Why? Art scholars don't have a definitive answer. Some think he did self-portraits because they sold well. Others say that because he worked so slowly, he himself was the only person he could get to model for long periods. Still others believe this was his way of cultivating self-knowledge, equivalent to an author writing an autobiography. In the coming weeks, I highly recommend that you engage in your personal equivalent of extended mirror-gazing. It's a favorable time to understand yourself better. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): From author Don DeLillo's many literary works, I've gathered five quotes to serve as your guideposts in the coming weeks. These observations are all in synchronistic alignment with your current needs. 1. Sometimes a thing that's hard is hard because you're doing it wrong. 2. You have to break through the structure of your own stonework habit just to make yourself listen. 3. Something is always happening, even on the quietest days and deep into the night, if you stand a while and look. 4. The world is full of abandoned meanings. In the commonplace, I find unexpected themes and intensities. 5. What we are reluctant to touch often seems the very fabric of our salvation. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): "I remember a time when a cabbage could sell itself just by being a cabbage," wrote Scorpio author Jean Giraudoux (18821944). "Nowadays it’s no good being a cabbage unless you have an agent and pay him a commission." He was making the point that for us humans, it's not enough to simply become good at a skill and express that skill; we need to hire a publicist or marketing wizard or distributor to make sure the world knows about our offerings. Generally, I agree with Giradoux's assessment. But I think that right now it applies to you only minimally. The coming weeks will be one of those rare times when your interestingness will shine so brightly, it will naturally attract its deserved attention. Your motto, from industrialist Henry J. Kaiser: "When your work speaks for itself, don't
interrupt." SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): When he was 29 years old, Sagittarian composer Ludwig Beethoven published his String Quartet, Op. 18, No. 4. Most scholars believe that the piece was an assemblage of older material he had created as a young man. A similar approach might work well for you in the coming weeks, Sagittarius. I invite you to consider the possibility of repurposing tricks and ideas that weren't quite ripe when you first used them. Recycling yourself makes good sense. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Are there parts of your life that seem to undermine other parts of your life? Do you wish there was greater harmony between your heart and your head, between your giving and your taking, between your past and your future? Wouldn't it be wonderful if you could infuse your cautiousness with the wildness of your secret self? I bring these questions to your attention, Capricorn, because I suspect you're primed to address them with a surge of innovative energy. Here's my prediction: Healing will come as you juxtapose apparent opposites and unite elements that have previously been unconnected. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): When he was 19, the young poet Robert Graves joined the British army to fight in World War I. Two years later, the Times of London newspaper reported that he had been killed at the Battle of the Somme in France. But it wasn't true. Graves was very much alive, and continued to be for another 69 years. During that time, he wrote 55 books of poetry, 18 novels, and 55 other books. I'm going to be bold and predict that this story can serve as an apt metaphor for your destiny in the coming weeks and months. Some dream or situation or influence that you believed to be gone will in fact have a very long second life filled with interesting developments. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): If you're like most of us, you harbor desires for experiences that might be gratifying in some ways but draining in others. If you're like most of us, you may on occasion get attached to situations that are mildly interesting, but divert you from situations that could be amazingly interesting and enriching. The good news, Pisces, is that you are now in a phase when you have maximum power to wean yourself from these wasteful tendencies. The coming weeks will be a favorable time to identify your two or three most important and exciting longings and take a sacred oath to devote yourself to them above all other wishes and hopes.
