SHAKING IT UP SHAKER VILLAGE OPENS ITS DOORS TO NEW TRADITIONS, INCLUDING AN INAUGURAL CRAFT BEER AND MUSIC FESTIVAL
BY ERIK RUST CONTRIBUTING WRITER PHOTOS BY ZOYA TERESHKOVA
L
ong known for its sense of tradition and hospitality, Shaker Village will introduce something out of the ordinary this month. Billed as a “flavorful mix of up-andcoming local breweries with favorite local musicians,” the inaugural Well Crafted Festival will touch down on the site’s historic ground on Aug. 8-9, providing a new, homegrown entry into the burgeoning festival circuit.
august 2014 chevy chaser magazine | 7
“WE SEE IT AS AN OPPORTUNITY TO DIVERSIFY THE EXPERIENCE OF SHAKER VILLAGE WHILE BRINGING IN A NEW DEMOGRAPHIC TO REACH NEW AUDIENCES.” AMY BUGG, DIRECTOR OF MARKETING AND COMMUNICATIONS, SHAKER VILLAGE
With a roster of local breweries, local and national musicians and on-site food trucks, Well Crafted adds up to a celebration of local craftsmanship in a unique, character-driven venue that few can boast. Amy Bugg, director of marketing and communications at Shaker Village, sees the festival as an intriguing option for an untapped demographic segment and an opportunity to introduce the site to new visitors while continuing to sustain its current patrons. The event follows an advent of recent activities such as bonfire gatherings, candlelit yoga and various happy hour events –– all geared to attract a new audience to the historic site. “We see it as an opportunity to diversify the experience of Shaker Village while bringing in a new demographic to reach new audiences,” Bugg said.
8 | chevy chaser magazine august 2014
In an effort to celebrate the dynamism and quality of Kentucky’s music and its upstart craft beer culture, the festival will offer attendees a chance to sample the many local flavors from both the brews and the music itself. The enticing beer roster includes Falls City, West Sixth, Blue Stallion, Country Boy, Rooster, BBC, and Against The Grain breweries. The festival is a collaboration between Shaker Village and Shaker Steps, a local music video production crew that focuses on promoting grassroots musical artists. (While not directly affiliated with Shaker Village, Shaker Steps’ moniker comes from a Shaker drawing found in the home of its co-founder, Mark Rush.) The idea of a joint-attraction festival featuring craft beer and local artists had been on the table since February and will become a reality this month following months of pursuing the focused vision.
Above: Shaker Village's Meadow View Barn, where the festival's Friday night events will take place Right: Amy Bugg, director of marketing and communications at Shaker Village. Bugg sees the festival as an opportunity to reach out to new audiences.
Derek Feldman of Shaker Steps and Delight Hanover (founder of Alias Records and local concert promoter Pistolier Productions) were both instrumental in shaping the festival’s musical line-up. The roster includes many local and familiar names, such as Small Batch and Coralee and the Townies, intermingled with national artists to provide an array of musical styles speaking to the desired diversity of the festival. “Derek and I share similar tastes in music,” Hanover said, noting that though the artists represented at the festival share sonic traits, the eclecticism of genres is still present with representatives of folk, roots, Appalachian, and even Appalachian rock genres. “Out of all the bands we booked, the one common thread is the amount of particularly strong songwriters,” Feldman said. “Songwriting is a craft unto itself, which fits perfectly with this festival.” Initiatives of both parties were unified in their aim to introduce new blood to the many delights of Shaker Village. “We jumped at the opportunity to be involved with such a beautiful, historic site,” said Feldman. “This also opens Shaker Village up to connecting to a younger audience.” Musical performers will include Ben Nichol, frontman of country-punk act Lucero; Louisville native Dawn Landes, who is now based out of New York; Louisville-based alt country outfit Freakwater; punk-influenced songwriter Austin Lucas; Lexington-based experimental folk singer Wooden Wand and a wealth of others. Friday night’s festivities, billed as the Meadow View Barn Dance, will take place in the barn initially developed to
house the Chamber Music Festival of the Bluegrass and will feature a more intimate vibe, while Saturday’s shows will exist in a more “open air” fashion, with bands playing in one of Shaker Village’s Town Center areas on the northwest section of the property. Individual night tickets as well as weekend passes are available. Environmental sustainability, a hallmark of the original Shakers, will also be a focus of the event, with an educational area featuring demonstrations and information. The festival itself seeks to operate in that very spirit of sustainability. All proceeds of the festival will benefit Shaker Village’s agricultural and environmental educational programs. According to Bugg, “this will be a lowwaste event that will allow us the opportunity to promote dialogue between the patrons and our staff.” If the festival emerges as an annual event, it will join the already rich tradition of the 200 year-plus lineage of Shaker Village’s now 3,000-acre expanse, which the Shakers settled for the promise of its fertile soil and plentiful resources. Architecturally advanced and masters of harvest, the Shakers were marked by their sense of community and preternatural ingenuity that continues to inspire to this day. Though Well Crafted brings the possibility of new audiences to Shaker Village, it falls squarely in-line with the inventiveness of the Shakers themselves, a group often overlooked for the progressiveness they have long fostered. Although attendees may be coming for the beer and sounds, they will no doubt depart having been touched by the peaceful elegance and tradition of Shaker Village. cc

BY DAN WU CONTRIBUTING WRITER PHOTOS BY SARAH JANE SANDERS
P
icky eaters are made, not born. As the father of a 9-year-old girl, I’ve seen firsthand the fickleness of kids when it comes to eating. OK, so maybe my wonderfully snobbish little foodie, Sofia, prefers tripe to carrot sticks, but before she became the pintsize gourmand, she was a kid like any other, skipping her veggies and holding out for ice cream. Having seen my share of finicky eaters (and not just kids), I was determined to raise mine as a good eater, conscious of both nutrition and taste. So how do we get kids to try new foods?
Author Dan Wu asked his daughter Sofia, 9, to pick ingredients for a meal she could prepare for dinner, using “three colors of vegetables” as a parameter.
At an early age, I made sure Sofia always tried everything at least once before claiming not to like it. As big fans of the show “Bizarre Foods,” we adopted host Andrew Zimmern’s rule of “try two bites.” I also share his ethos that no food is intrinsically weird, that the perception of strangeness is based on cultural differences. Ethiopian kids who grew up eating the spongy sour bread injera may find hot dogs pretty peculiar. Give them the power to make choices. But set the parameters of those choices. Letting them pick between a peach and a Snickers may be a bit lopsided. After all, how many candy commercials has a kid seen versus those extolling the virtues of fruit? Give them a choice among all healthy, wholesome options. Apple? Mango? Raspberries? Any will work. When it comes to fruit, it’s important to wean children off the artificial (and heightened) sweetness of processed desserts and candies and redirect them to the natural, complex sugars found in fruits. Without the allure of sweetness, vegetables — which are not always readyto-eat, unlike fruit — face their own challenge at the table. Choice again is key. I love to have Sofia pick out her own vegetables for meals, letting her pick out three or more colors as a guide. You can’t really go wrong with this rule. Kale, tomatoes and mushrooms? Corn, avocados and red peppers? Carrots, spinach and cauliflower? Instant variety! And you don’t always have to throw cheese on everything to get kids to eat them. Just do the two most important things when it comes to veggies (or any food really): Cook them correctly and season them. Nothing’s worse than unsalted broccoli that’s been steamed to a soggy death.
“Give them the power to make choices. But set the parameters of those choices. Letting them pick between a peach and a Snickers may be a bit lopsided.”

Giving kids the power to make their own choices and prepare their own food is one of the keys to getting them to enjoy healthy and diverse options.
In fact, one of the keys to healthy eating for kids and adults alike is simply cooking your own food. You know what goes into it; you know how it’s made; you control what goes into your body. In the kitchen, it’s vital to get youngsters involved in the making of their own meals. Start with the nohassle assemblage of a peanut butter sandwich (on locally baked bread of course). Move on to washing salad greens, cutting the tops off carrots (with scissors). And eventually graduate to chopping potatoes, cracking eggs, stirring pots. Soon enough you might have a “MasterChef Junior” contender on your hands! When a kid is in the kitchen helping, don’t ever worry about perfection. Potatoes left with a little peel? A little shell in the egg bowl? Flour all over the counter? No worries. They will get better as they practice, and they’ll want to keep practicing if they’re having fun. From a pretty early age, I never made Sofia her own meal. She ate what we ate. It broadened her palate and reinforced the idea of mealtimes as important, both nutritionally and socially. It was a
time to put away the phones and games and talk and catch up, time to savor the food together. These days, if she doesn’t like the sound of my menu, she’ll make her own meal. It’s not an arrangement I’d deal kindly with from an adult dining companion, of course, but the tradeoff is my kid taking the initiative and responsibility for her meals. Here’s hoping that someday very soon, she’ll be making me dinner. cc
Essential Reading An excellent book on the subject is Michael Pollan’s “Food Rules,” which spells out simply and eloquently the dos & don’ts of eating.

The State of Real Estate
How Chevy Chase neighborhoods performed in 2013
Property tax roll in Fayette County surpasses $23 billion for first time BY DAVID O’NEILL FAYETTE COUNTY PVA
F
or the second straight year, the Fayette County real estate market has seen significant growth in terms of the number of homes sold. Median sale prices continue to be strong, and the overall property tax roll in Fayette County has surpassed $23 billion for the first time. During the recession, the number of homes sold declined significantly each year. This began in 2006 and continued until 2012, when total sales exceeded 2011 volumes by nearly 20 percent –– bringing a much welcomed trend reversal. A nearly identical increase was realized for 2013, with approximately 4,200 single-family home sales. Although this represents a promising 40 percent increase over the low water mark of 2011, it’s still a long way from the record high of nearly 7,000 similar transactions in 2005. Although strong January sales suggested that 2014 could be another year of significant growth, sales dipped during the remaining winter months, only to bounce back in June. Given these ebbs and flows, we will have to wait and see if 2014 will be a year of growth, decline or plateau. In spite of the slower sales during the long and arduous winter of 2014, we have reason to be cautiously optimistic. In addition to recent increases in home sales, we have also seen a 20 percent increase in residential building permits over the past two years. Although the volume of permits flattened during the beginning of the year, they have been strong throughout the most recent quarter. Prior to 2012, the local housing market responded to the recession with relatively few home sales, rather than acrossthe-board declines in property values, such as those that were reported in places like Florida, Nevada and California. Because of this lack of sales data upon which to base accurate reassessments, neighborhood reassessments due to property value increases have been reduced to as few as a dozen neighborhoods over the past five years. Even though we were not doing a lot of reassessing, the annual property tax roll in Fayette County never decreased. In fact, it has grown at a very modest rate of about 1.5 percent per year. This growth is attributable to sales, property improvements and the use of technologies imple-
mented in the PVA office that have aided in the discovery of improvements not previously listed on the tax rolls. The accompanying chart is a snapshot that compares home sales in individual neighborhoods from 2010 through 2013. Readers are cautioned against drawing conclusions about overall property values in specific neighborhoods where the number of sales in each area represent very small sample sizes, and therefore may be misleading. For example, one or two sales in which a homeowner realizes an unusually high capital gain or loss would cause anomalies in such a small sample, making the percentage of change misleading. The transactions represented in the data are single-family residential property sales that the PVA office has determined to be arms-length transactions, or the sale of property from a willing seller to a willing buyer given a reasonable time on the market. The data does not include transactions involving transfers of property among family members, foreclosures, refinancing records, or other atypical sales; nor does it include sales of commercial, condominium, townhouse, duplex and multi-family dwellings. Similarly, building permit data includes only those initiatives that add value to property and excludes items such as sidewalk and driveway repairs and privacy fences. Home prices have fallen, and assessments have been lowered, in very few neighborhoods over the past few years. These declines are generally the result of one of two situations: either the neighborhood is in transition or the previous assessments were established aggressively near the peak of the housing bubble but never adjusted downward due to a lack of comparable sales data upon which to base a new assessment. Also during the recession, there have been many examples of neighborhoods that remain highly desirable, and where median sale prices have continued to climb. Examples include Harrods Hill, Lansdowne, Kenwick, Beaumont, Palomar, Chevy Chase and downtown, to name a few. The Property Valuation Administrator (PVA) is required by statute to inspect each of the county’s 110,000 parcels of real property at least once every four years. Additionally, the Kentucky Constitution requires PVAs to assess all real property, not otherwise exempted, at 100 percent fair cash value every year. In Fayette County, we adjust individual as-

sessments when sale prices in the 300-plus residential neighborhoods deviate by more than 10 percent from current assessments. Typically, but not always, reassessments coincide with the quadrennial physical inspections. The chart also indicates (denoted with an asterisk) which neighborhoods are up for inspection and possible reassessment during the upcoming tax year. There is also more detailed and comprehensive information about the 2015 physical inspection process on the Fayette County PVA website (www.FayettePVA.com). An assessor from the Fayette County PVA office will visit each property, take a new photograph and look for changes since the previous inspection. PVA staff do not access the inside of homes, but by law may enter backyards to inspect additions or improvements. These inspections are a vital component to the reassessment process. If a homeowner does not agree with their property assessment, they have the right (and are encouraged) to contact the PVA office. The Fayette County PVA office is currently working on assessments for 2015. If the assessment of a property changes for 2015, the property owner will receive a notice by mail in mid-April. Property owners may conference with the PVA and discuss their assessments beginning on the first Monday in May and continuing for 13 consecutive days. If the property owner remains unsatisfied with the assessed value after the conference, he or she is encouraged to appeal to the Local Board of Tax Appeals. cc All of the information from the accompanying chart and the info that follows originated from the Fayette County Property Valuation Administrator’s database. PVA data and information on challenging your property assessments and the work of the PVA are accessible at www.FayettePVA.com.

SUMMERTIME IN PARIS
32 | chevy chaser magazine august 2014
STORIES BY SUSAN BANIAK PHOTOS BY SARAH JANE SANDERS
J
ust a short drive north of Lexington, past the gently rolling landscape along Paris Pike, downtown Paris has preserved the charms of small-town Kentucky like a living time capsule. Lately, however, new storefronts and renovated shops have been springing up on the townâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Main Street, bringing new reasons for locals and visitors alike to make the trip. Susan Baniak, the features editor for our sister publication Business Lexington, talked to the owners of three new Paris businesses earlier this year. Although their business concepts are different, they all share a common goal: to bring something new to Paris that celebrates the character and community of the place they call home.
Bour-Bon Restaurant, bar and music venue blends the best of owner Joseph Clay’s authentic Kentucky
T
he birth of Bour-Bon has been a four-year labor of love for owner Joseph Clay. Over that time, the new restaurant, which opened in May in downtown Paris, has grown to reflect the life experiences of the man behind it. Clay is the former owner of Amelia’s Field Country Inn, a restaurant and five-room bed and breakfast in Paris, and an early adopter of the farm-to-table culinary movement. His roots in Paris run deep. His family owns Runnymede Farm, a 365-acre Thoroughbred farm in Bourbon County founded by Clay’s great-grandfather shortly after the end of the Civil War. Horses opened the world to him, he said, and drew him to Europe, where he also trained and performed as a thespian in England. Clay’s experiences, both at home and abroad, have always been tied closely to his Bourbon County upbringing, he said. His new enterprise, Bour-Bon, serves as both an homage and a celebration of his rearing, with not only a menu that highlights mostly organic, locally grown fare, but also a craft cocktail bar, a performance stage, art gallery space and landscaped areas for alfresco dining. His goal, he said, is to create an intimate gathering place where the community can connect over good food and also engage their senses through music, art and performance, in a way that preserves the Kentucky authenticity that Paris has managed to maintain in recent years. “I’m doing it really because I have a passion for food and beverages, as well as the county where I’m from,” Clay said. “With Bour-Bon, it is about bringing people together in a celebration of Kentucky.” The restaurant’s name is a play on the name of the county, with an emphasis on all things good, or “bon” in French. Historically, Kentucky’s bourbon heritage and
Louisville’s reputation as a metropolitan center made the state a place of distinction in the world of libations, Clay said, and its people have always held a strong connection to the land.
through the region. The restaurant also has gallery space on its second floor, where Clay plans to host community group meetings and feature art installations in the future.
Clay’s extensive renovations of the restaurant on Paris’ Main Street have melded Bour-Bon together from three separate buildings, including a tavern dating back to the 1840s. To create more space for the cocktail bar and main dining room, Clay purchased an adjacent property to house the kitchen. The two areas are connected through an enclosed breezeway to the outdoor patio, which features a large Argentinian cooking fireplace that gives patrons a peek at the restaurant’s open-fire cooking techniques.
First and foremost, however, Bour-Bon is about the food, with an emphasis on the organic, farm-to-table principles that fit Bourbon County’s agrarian mystique. The restaurant’s head chef, Norberto Piattoni, and sous chef, Pia Morosini, are both trained in native South American cooking techniques, which emphasize simple preparation that accentuates flavor without overwhelming it, Clay said.
“We’ve really tried to keep what’s true to the building, and to utilize local materials as much as we can,” Clay said. Bour-Bon tapped the talents of Louisvillebased consultants at the Hawthorn Beverage Group to develop the bar program for its cocktail bar, which features fresh-made syrups and offer patrons the chance to experience “an authentic and effervescent cocktail,” Clay said. The back of the restaurant converts to an intimate stage area, with a film projector, stage lighting, and a high-end sound system that Clay hopes will attract top artists as they travel
While the restaurant’s decor sports a French sense of style –– with Louis XVI chairs and soft blue-gray hues –– the menu is designed to showcase local meats and vegetables, with strong South American and Italian influences. In terms of its entertainment potential, Clay said the opportunities still remain to be seen, but he wants the facility to be geared toward bringing locals and tourists to Paris to see “an authentic Kentucky.” “Paris is a time-capsule town that hasn’t been corrupted by the homogenized, mass-consumer culture,” Clay said. “We’re really trying to bring people back to where they came from.” cc
Owner of Bour-Bon, Joseph Clay, at top, said his goal was to create an intimate gathering place while preserving the Kentucky authenticity of Paris.

Rooster Brewing Craft beer enthusiast brings microbrewing passion to Paris’ Main Street
W
hen Ralph Quillin’s children gave him a craft brewing kit as a present in 2008, no one knew it would launch Bourbon County’s first microbrewery. At the same time, given Quillin’s knack for craftsmanship, his scientific background from his studies at Transylvania University and his love for downtown Paris, it is also not very surprising to many. Quillin, the longtime owner of Quillin Leather and Tack in Paris, began acquiring dilapidated properties along the town’s Main Street in recent years, including a former 1880s mercantile store at 609 Main that had formerly housed an odds-and-ends shop. Although Quillin wasn’t sure of his intentions for the place at the time, he had been watching the development of Lexington’s local brewery scene with interest, and he saw an opportunity for the same kind of energy and investment in his own hometown. As an active member of the community, Quillin had been talking up downtown Paris’ business potential for a while, he said, and the time had come for him to show people himself. “It’s kind of like the sky’s the limit,” Quillin said. In mid-April, Rooster Brewing opened its doors, with a bright red-and-yellow 1,800-square-foot tasting room that serves as its own tribute to Quillin’s craftsman mentality, with custom-made wooden stools and tables and a bartop made from Kentucky’s state tree, the coffeetree. French doors in the back of the store give patrons a clear view of Rooster’s brewing room, and the store has additional cellar space that will be used for the brewery’s bourbon-barrel beers. Rooster Brewing is named for a farm animal that became a frequent visitor to the back porch of Quillin’s Bourbon County farm, where his venture into homebrewing began, he said. Quillin’s leather business also began as a homebased operation before he opened his shop in 1982. As with brewing, Quillin was self-taught in the craft.
34 | chevy chaser magazine august 2014
Ralph Quillin’s Rooster Brewing was named after a frequent backporch visitor to his home-based brewing operation.
“I just like to figure stuff out,” Quillin said. In addition to producing its own brews, Rooster carries about 150 different beers, Quillin said, all craft products and mostly American-made, with a few Belgians. The microbrewery is licensed for packaged sales, as well as selling malt beverages by the drink; Rooster Brewing also offers eight taps, with typically half of those being beers brewed in-house of its own, and the rest being select guest taps with an emphasis on other quality Kentucky-made beers. Quillin wants Rooster Brewing to be a community-oriented gathering place, and he plans to hold regular charity-supporting fundraisers, as well as social events such as Ladies’ Nights Out on Wednesdays and “brew school” opportunities for people who want to learn more about craft beer.
Working around Paris’s laws regarding food trucks, which currently don’t allow for the sale of food on the street, Quillin is working with local food trucks and caterers to serve inside the brewery on at least a few nights a month. Food trucks night typically bring around 100-130 people into the microbrewery, Quillin said, adding that about half that crowd typically comes from outside of Paris, many of them visiting the town for the first time. Rooster’s Main Street storefront may be just the beginning, Quillin said. “If this really takes off, we’ll expand,” he said. Rooster Brewing is open Thursday through Saturday, from around 5 to 11 p.m. Additional operating hours and days may be added, Quillin said, depending on consumer interest and demand. cc august 2014 chevy chaser magazine | 35

The Gentleman
Reinstating bourbon production in Bourbon county
A
lthough Bourbon County served as an early wellspring for the production of Kentucky’s most famous beverage, no company has actually distilled bourbon there since before Prohibition. That is about to change. In April, local residents Andrew Buchanan and Curtis Mackley, along with their respective wives Larissa Wells and Holly Mackley, introduced downtown Paris to The Gentleman, their newly conceived small-batch distillery in the making. Although the state and federal application process for the company’s distilled spirits permits won’t be completed until the fall, the future distillers have begun buying equipment and assembling a Facebook following, and they officially opened the doors of their newly purchased location at 718 Main St. to the community for tours and greetings in April.
“The idea is really just to bring spirits back to Bourbon County,” Buchanan said. For the owners of The Gentleman, returning spirit-making to its Kentucky roots will mean more than simply locating their shop on Main Street. The company plans to source many of its ingredients, with the exception of its sugar and molasses, from local farmers, with the used grains being recycled back to local farms to amend the soil. Consumers will also eventually be able to see The Gentleman’s products being distilled and aged on site in downtown Paris. “This is going to be an open-house distillery,” said Wells, who also owns the local advertising company Postscript Media Marketing with Buchanan. “People will be able to come behind the counter and get a really good, hands-on idea of what we are doing.”
In terms of its offerings, The Gentleman’s product base will start with white spirits, such as gin, vodka, moonshine, rum and un-aged whiskey. Bourbon, which requires a longer aging process, will come later, the owners said.
gram to share the milestones of their start-up journey. Opening their Main Street storefront to the community in advance has also allowed them to play a part in what they see as an exciting stage of growth for downtown Paris.
Mackley, whose family owns Paris-based Mingua Beef Jerky, added that there’s even been talk of eventually co-branding The Gentleman’s bourbon with Mingua in the production of a bourbon-flavored jerky.
“That’s one of the reasons we really wanted to be downtown. We wanted to be part of the community down here — to be a whole lot more than a distillery,” Buchanan said.
The distillery will focus on regional distribution to start, Buchanan said. The intent is to keep it small and focus on the craft of distilling, he added, which will enable the distillery to maintain close connections to its local producers and give The Gentleman more control over its quality.
“We have friends we graduated high school with who could not wait to get out of Bourbon County. Now they are looking back and wishing they had stuck around, or [are] even considering moving back,” he said.
“It’s not about pushing it out,” Mackley said. “If you keep the quality there, the growth will come.” But that hasn’t stopped them from building interest in their new company while they wait for their official paperwork. The owners have used Facebook and Insta-
But even with the enthusiasm of a downtown on the rise and the opening of the Main Street shop, Buchanan said the real excitement at The Gentleman will come when they can finally get their hands on the finished product. “It’ll be pretty exciting to start to see something roll off the still,” Buchanan said. cc

TAKING CUES FROM HIS LATE CHUM HENRY FAULKNER, KEN MORRIS APPROACHES EACH DAY AS IF IT WERE A BLANK CANVAS BY CELESTE LEWIS CONTRIBUTING WRITER
K
en Morris is many things: father, grandfather, painter and storyteller, to name a few. He’s also a traveling man. With the keen eye of a natural born observer of life, landscape and human nature, Morris has spent a lifetime driving around the country, painting, meeting interesting people and collecting memories. Many of the places and people he has encountered have ended up in his playful and colorful paintings. Having long ago set up the poles of his life to be Lexington and Key West, Morris travels between the two locations and treasures them both as “home.”He grew up in Lexington and started school at Millersburg Military Institute in the first grade, and he chuckles remembering his first foray into art. “I got in trouble for drawing,” he recalled. “We were in military school, so we were supposed to be focused and concentrate on our work and only our work.” Fortunately, he wasn’t permanently dissuaded from practicing his art, which has become one of the most defining aspects of his life.
Primarily using oil on Masonite board, Morris paints with a whimsical style reminiscent of his mentor Henry Faulkner.
“I paint pretty much all the time these days,” Morris said. Morris counts painter Marc Chagall as a major influence, and closer to home, the work of the late Kentucky artist Henry Faulkner. As a young man, Morris met Faulkner and was impressed with his work and his eccentric life. He found himself living as neighbors with Faulkner in Lexington on a couple of occasions; the two became friends, and Morris often did errands with Faulkner, who also taught Morris a great deal about the painting process and materials. Morris recalls being asked to drive

Faulkner to Florida along with his favorite goat, Alice, just one of many stories of his experiences with the unique artist. Another of Morris’ brushes with greatness occurred as a young man in the late 1950s while traveling with his brother. The brothers approached a rural store in Idaho and were astonished when a mountain lion stood up from where it was lying on the porch. Ken went reeling backward, terrified. The men who were gathered at the store laughed and assured him the animal was on a tether and not likely to attack. As Morris regained his composure, he and his brother realized that one of the men was author Ernest Hemingway. After dabbling with the brush for many years, Morris began painting seriously in the 1970s. As the years went by, his painterly style developed, and his work became widely collected in the Florida Keys, where he lives much of the year, as well as all over central Kentucky. He works primarily in oil mostly on Masonite board, which he says holds up better than canvas on the road. For paintings both large and small, his subjects vary according to what his life is currently serving up; he typically uses a bright palette and energizes each piece with a lot of texture and color.
“I kind of take a picture in my mind like a camera. I remember a place or a scene or a person, and then I paint it from that memory,” explained Morris, who enjoys scouring antique and vintage stores for the frames he uses for his work. During his most recent extended stay in Lexington, he has been painting some Lexington landscape scenes, including street views of Jefferson Street, where he owned Coyle’s Restaurant in the 1980s.

“I see something that interests me, and it will become a painting,” he said. “Something I picked up from Henry Faulkner is to paint life.”

He admits he himself shows up in his own work sometimes –– for example, he realized that a painting of a dappled gray horse running free was really a self portrait of sorts. Morris, who welcomed a new granddaughter on the fourth of July, plans to stay in Lexington painting all summer and return to Florida in time for Art Basel in Miami, one of the world’s premiere contemporary art shows and a favorite event of Morris’s. “I love to travel, and I enjoy seeing land and water,”Morris said. “That is endlessly interesting for me to paint.” cc

THE
Finding a New (To Me) Writer BY HARRIETT ROSE
I
t seems to me I’ve spent my life in libraries, or at least in the presence of a book. As a little girl, I was taken to that lovely old library on Second Street, now the home of the Carnegie Center. As an undergraduate at the University of Kentucky, my favorite place was the browsing room in the King Library, which had soft old leather couches, enticing to a bookworm like me between classes. To check out a book, all you had to do was sign your name on a card. The card was interesting in itself because you could see who else had read the book. One physics professor must have read every book in there; his name preceded mine in every book I took out. As a young mother, I took my sons to the bookmobile, and I escaped at night to go back to the Second Street library. In the years between undergraduate and graduate school (1945-1960), I always took out five large books; if they were small books, I would have had one read at the stoplights on the way home. As teenagers, my cousin and I would go to Cincinnati to shop. She always came home with clothes, and I bought books and music. No one ever had to guess what I would like for a present; the question was: which book? Even Santa Claus knew, in the years I believed in him. When I finally went back to school in 1960, my time in the library was serious study. No time for novels and biographies; I was still a housewife and a mother, as well as a graduate student. And after that, as a full-time professional at UK, the reading I did was not the “for pleasure” kind. Then retirement! What shall I do with myself? My husband died unexpectedly. I
went back to my old addiction –– books. There was no one to say, “Do you know what time it is?” So I read more and more, and later and later into the night. I joined a group of mostly retired educators who present programs assigned by committee, outside one’s area of expertise. We were thus required to go on learning. Among the membership are some of my neighbors at Hanover Towers. Our programs during the year are fairly esoteric, but during July and August, we indulge ourselves in some reading for pleasure. This year, we are reading “Crossing to Safety” by Wallace Stegner. My reaction to this new author is to wonder how he escaped me for all these years. He is of course very famous and a splendid writer –– so good that I have trouble waiting for the next Wednesday to read with the group.

When I had to stop driving, I worried about how I would get to the library. One of my neighbors, Becky Nelson, a compulsive reader like me, and also a daily walker, offered to be my “book buddy.” This has proved a great arrangement for me: I have not had to order books; I have read and enjoyed whatever she selected. Now, however, I ask her to bring me whatever Stegner books are in the library. So far, she has brought me two, and I have finished one. It was very exciting to discover such an interesting writer. I realize my custom was to examine the new books and select from those, forgetting those authors whose work was no longer on the best seller lists. I’ll never do that again.

On Our Table
Pickled Beets Boil 2-3 three small/medium-sized beets for 20-30 minutes or until a toothpick can easily slip through. Remove from water and allow beets to cool for handling. Peel under cold water. The beet peel should just rub off between your hands. Rinse. Slice into sandwich-friendly slices (around 1/3 of an inch), removing the top and bottom ends of each beet.
Wild salmon and pickled beet sandwich BY BARBARA GOLDMAN CONTRIBUTING WRITER PHOTO BY SARAH JANE SANDERS
This scrumptious sandwich is sure to lure guests, delight lunch friends, or simply satisfy taste buds. A variety of tart, soothing, and meaty textures, it’s a very popular summer item on the menu of our Maysville-based restaurant Parc Cafè, and the ingredients work great served over greens if you prefer to ditch the bread! Makes 2 servings.

Place beets in container filled halfway with apple cider vinegar. Fill remaining space with water so that all beet slices are covered. Refrigeration overnight is recommended.
Bourbon Miso Glazed Salmon
Walnut Pesto
• 2 12-ounce fresh boneless, wild-caught salmon (Cook with skin on, but remove skin before placing onto sandwich.) • ¼ cup bourbon • 1 teaspoon cracked pepper • 3 tablespoons Kosher salt • ¼ cup olive oil • 2 tablespoons whole ground mustard • ½ cup miso • 2 tablespoons ground dill, or 6-8 sprigs of finely chopped fresh dill • 3 cloves garlic, diced • 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
• 4-6 ounces walnuts • 1 tablespoon butter • 1 cup fresh basil • 1/8 cup olive oil • ¼ cup balsamic vinegar • 1 tablespoon honey
Place each salmon on foil that can be completely wrapped and sealed. Prior to sealing, mix all ingredients (except salmon), then rub the blend on salmon so that both sides are covered with the glaze. Seal foil and cook at 400 degrees for around 20-30 minutes or until fully cooked. The bourbon blend will keep the salmon moist and delicious.
Bake walnuts in one tablespoon of butter for 10 minutes at 400 degrees, or until good and crispy. Place all ingredients in a food processor and mix until blended. Sandwich assembly: Slice and toast two baguettes (preferably from your favorite local bakery). Smear goat cheese across top layer of bread, to help arugula stay in place. Layer thinly sliced pickled beets on arugula. Smear walnut pesto against bottom slice of bread (it will help the salmon stay put). Add salmon and stack the two slices. Cut in a diagonal down the middle and serve with chips or a salad. cc
Chevy Chaser’s Drink of the Month
THE BLOODLINES COCKTAIL RECIPE BY JOSH DURR PHOTO BY SARAH JANE SANDERS
The development of this cocktail, created for Bour-Bon Restaurant, Craft Cocktail Bar & Music Revue, started with a light and dry riff on the Manhattan, and then took a left turn. The addition of the trinity of the light and bright bitters Aperol, Ramazotti and Peychaud’s make this a summery version of the Manhattan, built from the ashes of the base recipe. The finishing move –– a strawberry sliver-rubbed rim –– adds a brightness and acidity that provides a first layer of flavor and complements the vegetal character of the macerated bitters. Most importantly, it’s delicious.
Ingredients • 1.5 ounces Four Roses Yellow bourbon • 1 ounce Dolin dry vermouth • 3⁄4 oz Aperol bitters • ¼ oz Ramazotti bitters • 2 dashes Peychaud’s bitters • 1 dash celery bitters
Directions Stir ingredients with ice in a shaker. Strain into martini glass. Rub the rim with a strawberry sliver and float the sliver as a garnish. ss
