Are You ‘Made in the South’?

Garden & Gun Magazine created the Made in the South Awards in 2010 to celebrate and encourage Southern craftsmanship, and to recognize the best Southern-made products on the market. Each year, G&G’s editorial team selects industry experts from across the country to be judges. This program has become a vital part of the magazine’s identity and has proved time and again that Southern creativity and innovation are indeed alive and well.

“The Made in the South Awards has been an incredible vehicle for discovering some of the region’s most talented makers, designers,

artisans, and small business owners, and has become a cornerstone of Garden & Gun,” says David DiBenedetto, senior vice president and editor in chief of the magazine. “Over the past thirteen years, it’s been a true joy to witness the profound creativity this program brings to light, and we are excited to seek out even more trailblazers this year.”

The official call for entries for *Garden & Gun’s thirteenth annual *Made in the South Awards is open through June 15. The magazine is seeking Southernmade product entries in six categories: Food, Drink, Home, Style, Outdoors, and Crafts. The overall winner receives a $10,000 cash prize and is prominently featured alongside the other category winners and runners-up in the magazine.

Renovations to historic Rupp Arena include conversion of most of the bench seating in the upper tier to chair back seating and enlarged concourses. A new iconic architectural facade replaces the “big box” look of the original 1976 building.

The celebration also commemorates the 50th anniversary of the formation of the Lexington Center Corporation, the governing body that oversees the management and operations for Rupp Arena, the Lexington Convention Center and the Lexington Opera House.

ON THE COVER

I

n the 90s and into the 2000s, Lissa Sims wrote one of Ace’s most popular weekly columns ever, On the Block. Sims was Ace’s Advertising Director for many years, and On the Block was nominally a real estate column, in that it lived in the real estate section, and featured a Lexington property that was ‘on the block,’ but it was always so much more. One column told the story of a Goodrich Avenue house that came with a free kayak. It began, “In advertising parlance, it is known as ‘Value Added.’ It is that little something that comes ‘free with purchase’ which pushes us one step closer to making the decision to buy. It works.”

As she put it in one 2001 column, “My writing intends to be one half confessional and one half setting the record straight; think Anne Sexton meets Marianne Willman. Plus, I like the stories about the lives and thoughts of other people so I’m just adding to the pot with mine.”

I

n 2019, Lissa returned to Ace for a covergirl interview with Kristina Rosen highlighting Yoga Month.

Born and raised in Lexington, which she calls “the greatest place in the entire world to live,” she grew up just around the corner from the Henry Clay Estate, where she leads a wildly popular outdoor yoga practice on the lawn.

Earlier this Spring, she and Stephanie Poole were busy renovating a Gratz Park-adjacent historic building at West Second and Upper which would be home to their yoga space, Shala.

They were down to the finishing touches and ready to move in when the building was gutted in a massive two-alarm fire. The building was also home to The Lexington Writer’s Room, which has since relocated to the former Common Grounds space on High.

Sims wrote an essay to friends and Shala members, sharing the experience, alongside a photo from the ruins.

On The Block: Is Renting the Key to Happiness?

We are grateful to the people who have called, texted, brought us flowers, cakes, cookies and wine. They help.

It reminds us that we are a community.

Which is the point of all of this: we are a community. We are reminded that we need each other and of the all-important things people do for each other. That is a reminder of what is important in this life. And it’s not a building.

We don’t know what is going to happen next. There is loads of insurance hoopjumping and estimates and bids and all of that hard work. Stephanie and I hope we will be able to repair, but there is a good chance it will look more like rebuild.

Whatever happens, know we are a little sad but mostly grateful, so thank you. Thank you for being our community. Thank you for showing love to the people around you.

very self-help book touts a key to happiness. I say the key to happiness is flexibility, particularly when it comes to buying houses. It’s not as if I’m the first to say, “when one door closes, another opens.”

When I was pregnant with our second child, my husband and I scoured the neighborhoods we liked for months searching for the perfect house. We finally found an older house on a lovely tree-lined street where a median slowed traffic and provided a lovely park-like view from the front porch. It seemed perfect for our growing family with three bedrooms and a bath on the second floor and plenty of room to build a large kitchen addition.

We made an offer, which the owner verbally accepted with the line, “I am so happy you are buying the house, I really wanted a family here.

Someone else made an offer but I want to sell it to you because I am afraid she will just jeeter it up.” She agreed to sign the contract and return it to us.

We hired an architect to design an addition and applied for a loan (sure, it seems obvious NOW that after a week of putting us off we were being a bit optimistic about her commitment, but she kept assuring us that she would get the contract to us, “don’t worry”). The bank wouldn’t move forward without a signed contract (again, obviously) so we pressured her.

Actually, I ambushed her at her workplace. She confessed that she had sold the house to the “jeeter it up” competition for $2000 more than we had offered.

We were heartbroken. We wept. (Well, I did.)

Later we found out that the main joist of the house was not attached at either end and the upstairs supports were for some reason not tied into the exterior walls which were in danger of collapsing. In fact, one person who worked on the house said he couldn’t believe it was still standing. The people who bought the house from the jeeters have spent two years working on the house and have evidently spent about $150,000 on repairs.

Meanwhile, less than a month after our deal fell apart we found a much nicer house, which cost less and needed much less work. We were able to move in before the baby was born, which we certainly would not have been able to do if we had bought that OTHER house.

It took a while, but eventually we decided to be grateful that an angel disguised as a greedy bitch shut the door on that particular house.

Now it may be more important than ever to be flexible about real estate. Last week one realtor told me that he advised his clients to take their houses off the market until February. This may not tell the whole story, but it does appear that, for the short term anyway, there may be fewer houses on the market.

Fear of committing in a time of economic uncertainty or a desire for something different without the conviction for the commitment of a mortgage makes renting a tempting option.

Particularly when given the option to rent an awarding-winning house that was featured on HGTV and will most likely not be offered for sale anytime soon, if ever.

Chesney Turner moved into town from the house which sits on twenty acres near Sadieville in Scott County when her teenage son and daughter, who are “very social,” no longer liked living so far from the things they like to do. She loves the house so she doesn’t want to sell it but wants someone to use it and take care of it until she moves back or converts it to a retreat.

The house, designed by Scott Guyon, won the Award of Design Excellence from the American Institute of Architects/Kentucky Society in 1998 and was featured on HGTV’s Homes Across America.

Guyon describes the house as a “structure reminiscent of the ‘dogtrot’ house that can be found throughout Kentucky and neighboring states. The house is made up of two separate sections under one roof with a five-foot wide dogtrot opening between them.”

One section holds only one room; stained concrete floors and cedar siding warm the 20 X 30 foot room. Birch cabinets and kitchen appliances line the back wall while the opposite wall provides warmth in the form of a fieldstone fireplace. Windows offer views of the woods that lead to a Native American burial ground just beyond the boundary of the property.

For a would-be homebuyer who either isn’t finding what he desires, or wants to get his feet wet without committing to jumping all the way in, renting this house could be the opening of a door. For anyone who might like to live in the country or in a contemporary awardwinning architect-designed home, this stunning house, with its rural setting, offers the ultimate opportunity to try on a lifestyle.

Colton from Kentucky

Lexington native Colton Ryan shines in new Hulu series

BY KEVIN NANCE

I

f you’re the type of person who has trouble separating actors from the parts they play, you might find yourself a bit concerned about Colton Ryan. In the past year, the young Lexington native has given back-to-back performances as teenagers — in the Broadway musical and film adaptation of Dear Evan Hansen and the new Hulu miniseries The Girl from Plainville — who kill themselves.

There’s no need to worry: Ryan is alive and well. And although his last two roles have been both dramatically weighty and in some ways eerily similar, he says he feels lucky to have appeared in this pair of high-profile projects focusing on the hot-button topic of teen suicide, which has received fresh attention during the pandemic. (A Centers for Disease Control study reported by the New York Times last year indicated that emergency room visits following suspected suicide attempts by teenage girls jumped 51 percent in early 2021 compared to the same period in 2019.)

“It’s heavy, man,” says Ryan, a 26-year-old graduate of Lexington’s School for the Creative and Performing Arts (SCAPA), in a phone interview from New York City. “Thoughts of suicide are a crushing, very relevant part of growing up in our culture. But to have the

10 | May 2022 | acemagazinelex.com

privilege of playing these parts, and bring attention to suicide prevention resources, has been such an honor.”

In the big-screen adaptation of Dear Evan Hansen, Ryan played a young drug addict whose self-inflicted death sets up the title character’s main storyline. In Hulu’s wellreviewed The Girl from Plainville, set to conclude on May 3, Ryan stars as Conrad “Coco” Roy III, a real-life Massachusetts high school student who committed suicide in 2014 after his girlfriend sent him hundreds of text messages encouraging him to kill himself. The girlfriend, Michelle Carter (played by Elle Fanning), was later convicted of involuntary manslaughter and served 11 months in prison.

Hulu’s series is inspired by Jesse Barron’s 2017 Esquire article of the same name, which opens with the sentence, “Can words kill?” The case also inspired the 2019 HBO documentary I Love You, Now Die.

R

yan’s intense performance in the miniseries benefited from what he describes as a deep sympathy for Conrad, who was the same age—“We graduated from high school at the same time,” he says—and his commitment to giving a full picture of Conrad’s life, not just his death. To prepare for the role, Ryan visited Conrad’s hometown of Mattapoisett, Mass., and met with a member of the boy’s family. “He lived a very full life,” Ryan says, “full of love and light as much as the vulnerable parts of him.”

The actor declines to offer an opinion about what fundamentally motivated either of the lead characters. “I don’t want to judge,” he says. “The job was to inhabit this young man, and all my energy went into that. You’re playing it day by day, and you can’t play the ending. At first the shackle of getting it right felt like it was going to hold me down, but it evolved over time, and became less of a responsibility and more of an ultimate privilege.”

His deep dive into the character earned him strong reviews. Ryan “crafts a beautiful picture of Conrad as a boy so overwhelmed by social expectations (and the contrasting pulls of his divorced parents) that he just doesn’t want to live anymore,” writes Clint Worthington of RogerEbert.com. “Ryan is excellent as Coco, who had attempted suicide once before,” writes Matthew Gilbert of the Boston Globe. “The miniseries honors him by giving him plenty of screen time, so we can see his muted anguish in play.” The Review Geek writes, “Even while knowing how this history plays out, one can’t help but be hooked by these performances and fascinating character studies.”

R

yan’s success doesn’t surprise his one-time mentor at SCAPA, local stage actor Paul Thomas, who appeared opposite his former student in Lexington Theatre Company’s West Side Story in 2019.

“He was a remarkable actor from the start,” says Thomas, who taught him for several years and still recalls his excitement at seeing Ryan, an understudy in Dear Evan Hansen on Broadway, step in for Ben Platt to play the title role at Music Box Theatre. “When they announced that the lead would be played by an understudy that night, there was an audible sigh from the audience,” Thomas recalls. “But Colton won them over.”

Thomas had tickets to see Ryan in another Broadway musical, The Girl from the North Country, just before performances were canceled in March 2020 due to the pandemic. Since then Ryan has starred in the Apple TV+ series Little Voice and the Amazon film Uncle Frank (alongside Lexington adopted son, actor Steve Zahn).

He’s been praised for his versatility in both singing and non-singing roles such as the one in The Girl from Plainville. Though it’s the farthest thing from a musical, he and Fanning both do an impressive job in a Glee fantasy sequence of REO Speedwagon’s “I Can’t Fight This Feeling Anymore,” which is also the title of Episode 4.

Series co-creator Patrick Macmanus told Elle Magazine, “thank God Colton came into our lives. Colton, I’m so jealous of that man, of all of his talents. Not the least of which is that, if you ever went to karaoke with me, your ears would be offended. He has got the most gorgeous voice.

He is rooted in an encyclopedic knowledge of Broadway shows, and that’s one of his first loves, musicals. The fact that we had this gorgeous talent coming in was just an amazing blessing.”

Ryan points out musical theater performers don’t always receive proper credit for their acting chops. “My soul says I’m a musician, and I can’t shake that,” he says. “On the other hand, people are always saying, ‘Your voice — you sounded so great!’ But did they like the other three quarters of my performance? That’s been a chip on my shoulder, wanting to be respected for my acting, too.”

Singing or no, Ryan says he wants to continue to work on both stage and screen, noting that he’s currently buying a home in New York, the epicenter of the American theater. “As much as I am so thankful for these roles in TV and movies,” he says, “my heart’s in the theater.”

Hulu begins and ends each episode of The Girl From Plainville with the following: “this program contains subject matter related to mental health and suicide. You can learn more from the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention http://afsp.org. If you or a loved one is in crisis, help is always available.

Please reach out to the Crisis Text Line or the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline at 1.800.273.TALK.

“As much as I am so thankful for these roles in TV and movies, my heart’s in the theater.”

Spring has Sprung

BY TOM YATES

Shared via Tom Yates’ Ace Archives.

Chef Tom died Feb 9 at the age of 63.

O

pening day of The Lexington Farmers’ Market is one of the joyous signs that spring has sprung in Central Kentucky. It allows us to shed memories of the long drab winter months with a subtle stamp of approval. Early Saturday morning, I grabbed my canvas tote bags and empty Chaneys milk glass bottles, and in a flash, was off to the market.

Perky culinary students, adorned in their university-issued togs, scurried through the market with amused abandon. Youthful innocence. With most of the vendors tucked underneath the bolted glass ceiling of the open air pavillion, space was socially distant, but a little tight.

Along with the usual early season shipped-in suspects, a surprisingly large variety of early local produce lined the tabletops and spilled from baskets. I had absolutely no reason to want or buy purple mustard greens. They were gorgeous. Why not? Sold.

Chanterelle mushrooms. Herbs. Baby lettuces.

Radishes. Green garlic bunches. Green onions.

Tomato plants. Cheeses. Breads. Flowers. Salsas.

Dips. It was dizzying.

Bundles of fresh asparagus caught me off guard. I didn’t expect to find them on opening

day. With my giddiness trumping sound reasoning, I bagged two pounds of fresh Bourbon County spring asparagus. Really?

What was I thinking? That’s a lot of asparagus for two people.

But it can be done.

Round 1: After tossing 1/2 pound of trimmed tender asparagus spears with olive oil, salt, and pepper, I roasted them in a 400 degree oven for 18 minutes. When they caramelized, I nestled them around jasmine rice alongside baked cornish game hens smothered in pureed lemoninfused roasted garlic.

Round 2: To awaken a sleepy long-braised, horseradish-spiked pot roast, I shaved a few of the larger asparagus spears into delicate ribbons before tossing them with meyer lemon juice, olive oil, spring radish zest, radishes, curled green onions, salt, and pepper. Crisp. Fresh.

Raw. Perfect.

Round 3: I banished the heavy-handedness of the previous two nights and threw together a

SKINLESS POTATO SKINS

simple pureed asparagus soup. Although most methods for preparing asparagus soup include potatoes and leeks, I didn’t want to muck up and muddle the true flavor of the asparagus. I kept it simple and straightforward. After sweating 1/2 cup minced shallots and 1 clove smashed garlic in 2 tablespoons of olive oil, I seasoned them with salt and pepper before deglazing the soup pot with white wine. When the wine reduced to nothing, I added 4 cups chicken stock. I brought the stock to a boil, reduced it to a simmer, tumbled in a pound of sliced spring asparagus, and let it rip for 15 minutes.

I pulled the cooked asparagus from the heat and carefully pureed it in batches (with the stock) until it was velvety smooth. After dishing up the soup, I topped it with crisped prosciutto cracklings, creme fraiche, and lemony fresh thyme.

I shamelessly licked the bowl clean for the pure essence of fresh spring asparagus.

s is the frequent pattern in Kentucky weather, we’ve shifted directly from Winter to Summer, but the silver lining is that summer always brings a return to patio season, increased options for late-night eats, and the sudden blossoming of food trucks and farmers’ markets on nearly every corner.

BIRTHS Bruster’s Ice Cream is now open in the Brighton Shoppes in Hamburg. Bruster’s features 150 flavors of handcrafted ice cream, yogurt, Italian ice and sorbet.

Max’s Loudon Square Buffet closed on April 8, 2022, after nearly 50 years in business. Owner Max Flannery sustained a fall earlier this year, which left him hospitalized for a lengthy stay, followed by rehabilitation. One fan mourned its loss on the last day of service via facebook, “Everyone was welcome—whether you could pay for a meal or not. Everyone had a place at the table—even if that table was with folks you had never met. Everyone entered hungry, and left full—not just of food, but of great conversations, interactions, and memories.”

TRANSITIONS Hall’s on the River has re-opened after a lengthy post-flood renovation and restoration.

ARTS AND ENTERTAINMENT The location was originally chosen to house production for WMG’s syndicated daytime court show, Relative Justice last summer, and quickly became an obvious choice to commit to expanding and facilitating the build-out once the Kentucky Entertainment Incentive was renewed in January 2022. Given that Relative Justice has just been renewed for its second season, plans are in place for production to once again originate from the same soundstage at this location.

WATCH Wrigley Woodhill Studios rolled out the red carpet for a sneak peek hard-hat preview of their new 52,000 square feet facility at the site of the former Woodhill Cinemas.

Wrigley Media Group CEO and owner Misdee Wrigley Miller says, “We’re excited to expand on the existing 80s deco look, while freshening things up and bringing the building back to life over two decades later.”

Wrigley Miller continues, “This building houses such nostalgia and so many great memories for locals that I felt it was important for us to maintain its integrity, instead of completely knocking it down.”

My Old Kentucky Home: The Astonishing Life and Reckoning of an Iconic American Song

By Emily Bingham (Knopf) Stephen Foster’s ‘My Old Kentucky Home’ is the state song of Kentucky, and has been sung before every Kentucky Derby since 1930.

Historian Emily Bingham’s new book arrives on stands just in time for Derby, and explores the long and complicated history, writing in the

‘Wednesdays with Wally’ tells the story of friendship between a young journalist and the ‘disheveled Jedi Master’ of 1980s Lexington,’ who, even in his 70s and 80s, constantly enrolled and re-enrolled in UK’s Shakespeare and Latin courses.

Kentucky writer Claude Hammond chronicles his years as Wally Carr’s friend, aide, and apprentice in the 80s. Hammond’s family of Kentucky journalists includes sports announcer Tom Hammond and the late Thoroughbred Record editor, Susan Hammond.

ROB BREZSNY’S FREE WILL ASTROLOGY ARIES (March 21-April 19): I recommend you adopt a limitation that will enable you to claim more freedom. For example, you could de-emphasize your involvement with a lukewarm dream so as to liberate time and energy for a passionate dream. Or you could minimize your fascination with a certain negative emotion to make more room for invigorating emotions. Any other ideas? You’re in a phase when increased discipline and discernment can be liberating.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): “Imagining anything is the first step toward creating it,” wrote author and activist Gloria Steinem.

“Believing in a true self is what allows a true self to be born,” she added. Those are excellent meditations for you to focus on right now, Taurus. The time is ripe for you to envision in detail a specific new situation or adventure you would like to manifest in the future. It’s also a perfect moment to picture a truer, deeper, more robust version of your beautiful selfan expanded version of your identity that you hope to give birth to in the coming months.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Gemini author William Butler Yeats won a Nobel Prize for Literature, so I conclude he had considerable talent and wisdom. But he cultivated interests and ideas that were at variance with most other literary figures. For example, he believed fairies are real. He was a student of occult magic. Two of his books were dictated by spirits during sances. In the coming weeks, I invite you to draw inspiration from his versatile repertoire. Welcome knowledge in whatever unusual ways it might materialize. Be eager to accept power and inspiration wherever they are offered. For inspiration, here’s a Yeats’ quote: “I have observed dreams and visions very carefully, and am certain that the imagination has some way of lighting on the truth that reason has not, and that its commandments, delivered when the body is still and the reason silent, are the most binding we can ever know.”

CANCER (June 21-July 22): You know what’s always good for your well-being? Helping people who are less fortunate and less privileged than you. To enhance your health, you can also fight bigotry, campaign against the abuse of animals, and remedy damage to the natural world. If you carry out tasks like these in the coming weeks, you will boost your vigor and vitality even more than usual. You may be amazed at the power of your

compassion to generate selfish benefits for yourself. Working on behalf of others will uplift and nurture you. To further motivate you, here are inspirational words from designer Santiago Bautista: “I am in love with all the gifts of the world, and especially those destined for others to enjoy.”

“Build a relationship in which you and your ally can be active in each other’s growth.” 4. “Sometimes what you get is better than what you wanted.” 5. “Enjoy the space between where you are and where you are going.” 6. “Keep it real with me even if it makes us tremble and shimmer.”

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): “There is a moment in each day that Satan cannot find,” wrote author and artist William Blake. Here’s how I interpret his poetic words: On a regular basis, you become relatively immune from the debilitating effects of melancholy, apathy, and fear. At those times, you are blessed with the freedom to be exactly who you want to be. You can satisfy your soul completely. In the next six weeks, I suspect there will be more of these interludes for you than usual. How do you plan to use your exalted respite from Satan’s nagging?

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Consider putting a sign on your door or a message on your social media that says something like the following: “I’ve still got some healing to do. While I’m making progress, I’m only partway there.

Am open to your suggestions, practical tips, and suggestions for cures I don’t know about.” Though the process is as yet incomplete, Sagittarius, I am proud of how diligent and resourceful you have been in seeking corrections and fixes. My only suggestions: 1. Be bold about seeking help and support. 2.

Be aggressive about accessing your creativity. Expand your imagination about what might be therapeutic.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Poet Louis Little Coon Oliver (19041991) was a member of the indigenous Mvskoke people. He declared, “I do not waste what is wild.” That might mean something different for him than what it would mean for you, but it’s an excellent principle for you to work with in the coming weeks. You will have more access than usual to wildness, and you might be tempted to use it casually or recklessly. I hope that instead you harness all that raw mojo with precision and grace. Amazingly, being disciplined in your use of the wildness will ensure that it enriches you to the max and generates potent transformative energy.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): I suspect you will have the skills of an acrobat in the coming weeks at least metaphorically. You will be psychically nimble. Your soul will have an exceptional ability to carry out spry maneuvers that keep you sane and sound. Even more than usual, you will have the power to adjust on the fly and adapt to shifting circumstances. People you know may marvel at your lithe flexibility. They will compliment you for your classiness under pressure. But I suspect the feats you accomplish may feel surprisingly easy and breezy!

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): A Tumblr blogger named Af-70 gives copious advice. From his wide selection of wise counsel, I have selected six tips that are right for your needs in the coming weeks.

Please study the following counsel.

1. “Real feelings don’t change fast.”

2. “Connect deeply or not at all.” 3.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): “To uncover what is hidden in my soul might take me a week or two,” my friend Allie told me. I told her she would be lucky if her brave and challenging exploration required such a short time. In contrast, some people I know have spent years trying to find what is buried and lost in their souls: me, for instance. There was one period of my life when I sought for over a decade to find and identify the missing treasure.

According to my astrological analysis, you will soon enjoy multiple discoveries and revelations that will be more like Allie’s timeline than mine: relatively rapid and complete. Get ready! Be alert!

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): A Thai cook named Nattapong Kaweenuntawong has a unique method for cooking the soup served in his Bangkok restaurant.

At the end of each night, he saves the broth for use the next day. He has been doing that daily for 45 years. Theoretically, there may be molecules of noodles that were originally thrown in the pot back in 1977. In accordance with current astrological omens, I urge you to dream up a new tradition that borrows from his approach. What experience could you begin soon that would benefit you for years to come?

That’s a spicy meatball! Meet Chorizo: he’s a mature gent just looking for a place to retire.

Chorizo LOVES treats and it’s pretty hard to say no to a dog this sweet, so we totally get why he’s a little on the chunky side. He’s a happy boy 100% of the time, and does the cutest little tappy-toes dance to show it. If he’s this happy at Woodford Humane, we can only imagine the kind of sunshine he’ll bring to his adopters! If you think that might be you, visit the Adoption Center to meet him or call 859.873.5491 with any questions.

Ace and the Woodford Humane Society remind you to spay and neuter your pets.
