From upscale to funky and everything in between, we’ve identified two dozen new hot spots for your list that have either opened recently or are slated to open sometime within the next couple months.

Carson’s Food & Drink 361 East Main St. (859) 309-3039 Open daily at 11:30 a.m. for lunch and dinner www.carsonsfoodanddrink.com With gleaming wood, exposed brick and shining chandeliers, downtown Lexington’s newest fine dining option boasts an “old Kentucky” atmosphere that is at once elegant, understated and cozy.

The restaurant’s menu features elevated American classics such as pretzels and beer cheese, Oscarstyle salmon, a variety of steaks and nearly a dozen sandwich options. The bar boasts a handful of 1930s-inspired cocktails and a wide array of beverages from all over the world, with a special emphasis on wine and bourbon.

Since opening last spring in a Pasadena Drive catering kitchen, Dutch’s Bake Shop has been providing a variety of familiar local restaurants and coffee shops with its pastries, breads, bagels and desserts. Owners Jessica Van Houten and Stuart Spurr hope to open a retail sector this year.

Chocolate Holler 400 Old Vine St., Ste. 104 (859) 255-0270 Mon.-Thurs.: 8 a.m.-9 p.m.; Fri.-Sat.: 8 a.m.-10 p.m. The familiar Lexington coffee business A Cup of Common Wealth is breaking into the chocolate business with Lexington’s first “chocolate bar,” set to open in early February. Located next door to Wines on Vine on Old Vine Street, Chocolate Holler will offer “drinking chocolates” in various forms, including chocolate espresso- and coffee-based beverages, as well as baked goods and an extensive selection of retail specialty chocolates. Mellow lighting and neutral-colored walls will give a relaxed “coffeehouse” vibe to the space, which was most recently a tavern owned by Wines on Vine and will also feature a large retail wall for imported chocolates and other goodies.
While it’s not quite a retail establishment yet, Dutch’s Bake Shop has been baking up fresh pastries, bagels, breads, cakes and specialty desserts in the Pasadena Drive kitchen it shares with Lexington catering company Creative Table and Kitchen since May 2016. Owners Jessica Van Houten and Stuart Spurr met while working together in the kitchen at the Hilton and have created a specialty bake shop that pays homage to the “Olde World” heritage of both their families. Dutch’s specializes in custom orders of all kinds. While the bake shop is working toward becoming more of a retail destination – a goal Van Houten says she hopes will come to fruition over the next couple months – it provides a variety of familiar local establishments with breads and other baked goods in the meantime, including Common Grounds, Smithtown Seafood, Lexington Diner, Brasabana, Third Street Stuff and others.

Following the success of the Lexington-based franchise’s Wiseguy Lounge locations in Cincinnati and Covington, owners Eric Boggs and Alex Coats knew the time was right to bring the concept to their hometown. Long known for its hefty New York-style slices, which attract long lines among the late-night crowd at the original downtown Lexington location, the new venue offers an extensive drink menu featuring hundreds of different bourbons, a Prohibition-style speakeasy cocktail bar, a billiards loft and an ambiance that reflects a modern take on the original distillery.

Any bottle on the extended wine list can be opened for a glass pour (with a two-glass minimum), and the remaining wine is sold at auction on a revolving chalkboard. Popular menu items include BLT deviled eggs, an apple harvest salad, “four pork gnocchi,” tacos and beignets. The space that formerly housed Buddy’s and Roy’s East High Diner (and most recently, Macho Nacho) has been given a complete renovation, accentuated by modern wallpaper, bourbon barrel accents, glowing wine bottle chandeliers, aged barn wood and marble; it includes seating for 158, as well as two private dining rooms that are available for private parties.
Lyles BBQ Company 3101 Clays Mill Road #301 (859) 305-6800 Open daily 11 a.m-9 p.m. www.lylesbbqcompany.com This former food truck made the jump to “brick-and-mortarish” when owners started selling their popular homemade BBQ at a Shell Station in Nicholasville, in what they describe on their blog as a strategic move to expand their BBQ business without diving headfirst into a brick-and-mortar (and all the debt that comes with it) before testing the waters first. The plan must have worked, as a full-blown sit-down restaurant opened in late January, featuring a familiar menu of beef brisket, smoked chicken and pulled pork, as well as indulgent apps like loaded tater tots, smoked jumbo wings and “The Three Amigos” (a trio of deep fried pickles, banana peppers and jalapeños).

HEALTH & WELLNESS TRENDS Five alternative paths to healing and wellness offered in the Lexington area
W STORY BY ABBY LAUB AND SARAYA BREWER
hen looking at new health and wellness offerings in the Bluegrass, at least one overarching trend is clear: People are increasingly seeking new, alternative routes on the journey to well-being. From sensory shock and sensory deprivation to breathing in salt particles or absorbing alternative energy waves, we’ve collected a sampling of some of the alternative healing methods offered locally. These services – each of which is offered by at least one facility in the Lexington area – are designed to combat what ails you, be it stress, fatigue, chronic pain, inflammation, skin and respiratory problems or other issues. As with any health regimen, we recommend conducting your own research and consulting with a doctor or other health care experts to help find what is best suited for you.
Scalar Wave Therapy Dubbed as the state’s first “energy spa,” the Lexington Center for Integrative Health offers many services to promote natural health via energy enhancement and stress reduction, and is largely known for its signature treatment, scalar wave field therapy. The first of its kind in Kentucky or neighboring states, according to owner Stephen Ramsay, LCIH’s Scalar Wave Room offers escape from “electronic wave pollution,” which Ramsay describes as the disruption of cells’ natural electric waves from outside electrical waves. After being introduced to the therapy in Sarasota, Florida, the former pediatrician and his wife, Karen, a home medical equipment professional, wanted to bring the practice to a wider audience. Designed to boost natural cell health and remove interferences to cellular function, LCIH’s Scalar Wave room utilizes an energy enhancement system consisting of eight generators, which resemble desktop computer screens and are precisely aligned in a way to generate bio-active energy fields – including “scalar waves” – while nullifying other electric waves in the room. Scalar waves are unique types of energy waves pur-

ported to enhance cell and bone regeneration, improve immune function, alleviate pain, detoxify the body, elevate mood and increase energy levels. Clients relax in the dimly lit room, leaving outside electronics behind, and are encouraged to “zone out,” meditate, or even fall asleep. The treatment can last from an hour-long session to an overnight stay. Scalar wave therapy, like some of LCIH’s other treatments, ultimately combats stress on the cells, and Ramsay cited stress as the cause of most illnesses in adults. He compares the treatment to getting out of the city and into the country. “We are not a culture that wants the effort to pursue optimal health,” he said. “[We are] living a life that drives us to ill health, even a life with lots of positive things in it. We have to choose things that balance that stress and unwind those stress hormones. Everything we do here brings down the stress hormones.” The effects of cellular energy and how it relates to stress reduction might not be something that many people consider, says Ramsay, but the high-tech, electronic world that we live in is hard on our body’s cells and cellular function – even to the point of overt harm. Cells are like tiny chemical factories, he explained, with their own electricities – if their balance is off, the body suffers. With its scalar wave field therapy program, LCIH, which opened in April 2016, works to help restore this balance and reduce cellular stress. “It nullifies all electromagnetic impulses that are barraging our bodies,” Dr. Ramsay explained. Ramsay said the treatment has been shown to eliminate tremors in Parkinson’s Disease patients, help manage inflammatory and autoimmune diseases, increase recovery time after surgeries or major injuries, relieve pain, reduce anxiety and depression, promote better sleep and improve mental clarity. Scalar wave therapy is recommended once or twice a week. A routine, one- to two- hour session starts at $30, and Scalar Wave Night (all-night sessions) is available, as well as package discounts. For more information on scalar wave therapy and other services offered at Lexington Center for Integrative Health, which also include infrared sauna treatment, nutritional counseling and more, visit lcihealth.com.

Located in Brannon Crossing, the relaxing, manmade salt cave in the Bluegrass Salt Room is covered in thousands of pounds of pink Himalayan salt. Exposure to the salt particles is purported to treat a variety of respiratory and skin conditions.
Halotherapy Popular in Europe for decades, halotherapy is a relatively new but growing treatment in the United States that typically involves a 45-minute session in a manmade “salt cave,” with participants breathing in microscopic particles of salt. Studies have shown that halo therapy (which gets its name from “halas,” the Greek word for salt) can help with respiratory ailments such as asthma, allergies, bronchitis and smoker’s cough, as well as cystic fibrosis, skin conditions like psoriasis and eczema and additional conditions ranging from depression to cystic fibrosis. The treatment is also designed to help alleviate stress and promote relaxation. Originally hailing from Naples, Florida, Bluegrass Salt Room owner Tiffany Richir first learned about halotheraphy from her Hungarian neighbor in Florida. She quickly became an apprentice in the practice before opening her own shop in Brannon Crossing in 2014 when she and her husband moved to Kentucky. “The more I learned about it and the more I watched people get relief … the more interested I became,” Richir recalled, adding that she’s seen results in clients from boosted lung capacity and respiratory relief to clearing acne.
Richir said her own experience utilizing halotherapy has led to a boosted immune system. She added that her daughter, who was born with eczema, started salt therapy treatments at 6 weeks old and has never needed any type of medication. The Bluegrass Salt Room is powered by a machine that mechanically cuts and grinds salt down to fine, invisible micro particles, which are then blown into the completely dry treatment room and dispersed through the air for inhalation. “You have no sense that’s it is even there,” Richir said of the salt, adding that the process doesn’t have any agitating side effects. Guests are encouraged to relax and focus on their breathing, taking deep inhalations, and no electronic devices are allowed in the space. Richir said for many guests, results are immediate. While most clients start out doing halotherapy about three times per week for major ailments, most people can eventually cut back when their symptoms are alleviated. Single sessions start at $35, and multiple packages and introductory rates are available. For more information on the Bluegrass Salt Room, visit kentuckysaltroom.com.

Source on High, pictured above, was the first place in Lexington to introduce flotation tanks. Fiberglass tanks swirling with 200 gallons of water that has an extremely high salt content, the tanks are designed to help a body float on the water’s surface to achieve total relaxation and release.
Sensory Deprivation/“Float” tanks Float tanks are officially a “thing,” and Lexington is home to at least two facilities carrying the sensory-deprivation service, with Gym Laird on the south side of town and High Street’s Source on High offering float services. A 60- to 90-minute session in one of the fiberglass float tanks, which resemble large bathtubs swirling with about 200 gallons of water and an extremely high concentration of Epsom salt, is designed to help a user achieve total relaxation. Releasing tension from the joints is a major benefit of float therapy, which is also purported to help the body heal more quickly – other benefits range from increased blood circulation and
22
immune system function, to pain management, stress reduction, increased creativity, sleep schedule maintenance and feelings of euphoria. The therapy has been used for athletic recovery and for helping combat everything from post-traumatic stress disorder to addiction. Jim Laird, who owns Gym Laird on Regency Road, initially decided to bring a float tank to his strength-training facility because he was experiencing life-changing benefits from the therapy and was tired of traveling hours outside of Lexington to get it. But he also has many stories of the ways it has benefited his clients, and he’s been pleasantly surprised by who he sees coming through the door.
“The number of young people that really like the float tank has surprised me,” said Laird, adding that many of his repeat visitors are college and high school students. “I think part of it is because of modern technology – they’ve never really relaxed in their life, and for the first time they really shut off, and they seem to really, really like it. “We have a whole generation of kids who have never gone to the park, laid down in the grass and just chilled,” he added. Most float sessions range from 60 to 90 minutes, with prices starting in the $50 range locally. Visit www.gymlaird.com or www. sourceonhigh.com for more information.

Infrared saunas are offered at a growing number of health and wellness centers, including the Bluegrass Salt Room, Centered and the Lexington Center for Integrative Health. Sessions in the saunas are purported to help increase metabolism and have a detoxifying result. PHOTO FURNISHED
Infrared Sauna Promoting detoxification, immune system enhancement, cardiovascular conditioning, relaxation and other health benefits, infrared sauna sessions are another alternative healing technique making “waves,” in Lexington and beyond. With heat powered by infrared waves rather than by steam, infrared saunas offer a much different experience from a typical sauna, said Lauren Higdon, owner of the Chevy Chase-area community wellness center Centered. “It’s going to feel much more comfortable for many people because it’s not a moist air that you’re breathing in – it’s very dry air,” Higdon said. “To me, it feels like being out in the sun on a nice dry day.” Seasonal depression is one of many ailments that infrared sauna sessions are purported to treat, and indeed, business at Centered’s infrared sauna tends to pick up during colder months and cloudy spells. She added, however, that “spring detox” season is another popular time for the treatment,
which targets inflammation by penetrating infrared energy directly into the body’s mitochondrial cellular structure. “Infrared light actually goes into the fatty tissue – that’s where we tend to store heavy metals, toxins and a lot of the environmental stuff that we’re picking up every day,” she explained, “on top of preservatives, other chemicals in our foods and things that we may put on our skin with body products.” Meditational music, complimentary aromatherapy and reading materials are all available options to enhance the infrared sauna experience at Centered, which sets its all-cedar infrared sauna to 130-145 degrees Fahrenheit for maximum benefit. The average person will sweat profusely during a session, Higdon said – and that’s a good thing, she added. “Typically, the more you have going on, the more you tend to release,” she said. The healing treatment dovetails perfectly with Centered’s overall mission to provide a holistic, affordable and community-centric
approach to health, healing and wellness, and Higdon said that while as little as five minutes in the sauna can provide health benefits, she recommends engaging in 30-minute sessions at least once a week – and preferably twice a week – for people looking to detox or work through a specific issue. In addition to the scientifically supported benefits that exposure to infrared waves can provide to the body, sessions can provide a good opportunity to reset the mind as well. “I remind people to leave their electronics outside the sauna, not only because it’s good for their health, but also [because] mentally, it’s a nice time to detach,” Higdon said. “It’s just a good way to quiet the mind and let go, as well as releasing the body.” Centered offers walk-in rates starting at $20 for 20 minutes, with cost-saving monthly packages also available. For more information on the infrared sauna treatments and other services offered at Centered, visit www.centeredlex.org/infrared-sauna-inlexington-ky.

Whole Body Cryotherapy If standing in a freezing cold tank is on your bucket list, then you’re in luck – Lexington is now home to a Whole Body Cryotherapy facility. Located on West Tiverton Way, The Cryo House utilizes ultra-low temperatures – in the -110 to -160 degrees Celsius range – to temporarily cool the skin’s surface, which then triggers an anti-inflammatory response that activates organs, muscles, joints and skin to naturally heal and repair themselves. The Cryo House owner, Tami Breitner, opened shop in 2016, after she used the therapy to treat rheumatoid arthritis. A wife and mother of two young children, Breitner developed rheumatoid arthritis after fight-
ing parvovirus, a diagnosis she said was “devastating.” “Before, I was athletic and could do whatever I wanted, and didn’t need medicine,” she said. “Now I had aches and pains and needed medicine, and I didn’t want to take it.” Breitner, who also is a part-time intensive care nurse at Saint Joseph Hospital, traveled hours for WBC sessions, which she said helped keep her symptoms under control and ultimately allowed her to get off the medications she was on to treat rheumatoid arthritis. It was then that she knew he had to open The Cryo House. “I became a nurse because I love helping people,” she said. “The biggest reward is seeing someone come in and they get out and they’re like ‘I haven’t been able to move like this.’”
Cryotherapy works by exposing the body to extreme cold temperatures for a short period, resulting in a dramatic increase in circulation, which can lead to increased metabolism, tissue repair, detoxification and immune function. The practice has even been shown to burn hundreds of calories, as the body fights to keep itself warm during the three-minute “dip” in the phone-booth-sized tank. For some clients, weight loss is an added benefit, and many athletes use cryotherapy to speed up recovery, similar to an ice bath. Guests are bathed in liquid nitrogen, or refrigerated air, in almost no clothing. The extreme cold causes the body to draw blood away from the skin, shifting it to the core and engaging a life-saving response. Breitner explained that this then promotes blood filtration, detoxification and ensures the
blood is more oxygen-rich when it rushes back to the extremities in the warmup that follows. The improved bloodflow allows painful areas to heal more quickly. Breitner said cryotherapy has been shown to improve skin conditions like acne and vascular constriction, as well as reducing pain, improving workout recovery and alleviating symptoms of fibromyalgia, Crohn’s disease, Lyme disease, multiple sclerosis and other conditions. Most patients visit two to three times a week for about a month to see drastic results before cutting back, and the Cryo House also offers a local treatment option if whole-body cryotherapy is not a good option for clients. Prices range from $55 for a single chill to monthly unlimited packages at $15 per session. Visit thecryohouse.com for more information on the service. cc

Hamburg Expressions: Redefining Cosmetic Dentistry
A
fter more than 20 years as a dentist, Dr. Jenny Miller’s perennial joy is giving patients something to smile about, starting the moment they walk in her practice. Sunlight streams through oversized windows into the open-floored office with wooden columns and flooring. Rather than being individually sequestered into small rooms, patients see their hygienists in a spacious setting with roomy dental chairs spread comfortably apart, without barriers. Miller’s own “office,” where she performs her dental work, is separated only by a fountain she designed that does double duty as a partition.
Doors are almost nonexistent except the ones through which patients enter the office and the stable-motif doors that open into her husband Neil’s attached dental lab. Patients nervous about impending dental work are put at ease by a warm and friendly staff. They can also turn on their chairs’ massage settings, put on the noise-cancellation headphones and listen to music, or distract themselves by watching through expansive windows the interesting work that goes on in the dental lab. The Millers recently relocated their practice, Hamburg Expressions, from Hamburg a few miles away to Richmond Road. The couple’s lease had run out, and by owning the new space in Eagle
Creek, they have been able to make it their own, including using Dr. Miller’s interior design skills to move in the opposite direction of sterile white office space. The couple also wanted to showcase its state-of-the-art dental lab, which does work for several other dentists in the area, as well. Having the lab right there allows Dr. Miller, who specializes in general and cosmetic dentistry, to complete procedures such as dental crowns without long waits. Rather than having the impressions and photos delivered off site and the crown shipped back in two or three weeks, Neil Miller can complete the work the same day on site within a few hours. Instead of taking six weeks to complete, veneers can be done in two weeks.

With the on-site lab, Neil Miller can make sure crowns, bridges or veneers are fitted correctly right away and tooth colors are matched as naturally as possible. “To see it for yourself is far better than a picture,” said Neil Miller. “You can see the subtleties in the teeth.” This is an important distinction in cosmetic dentistry, said Dr. Miller, that allows her work to be done as closely to ideal as she can get. It’s something she said she strives for -- that, and the satisfaction of giving her patients smiles that they can’t wait to show off. Her office is filled with portraits of beaming patients. She and her family, which includes three nearly grown children, also have spent a couple of weeks in Haiti many summers with their church doing dental work and putting together a village clinic for a visiting Haitian dentist to use. Dr. Miller said that general dentistry and cosmetic dentistry are her own calling, and she enjoys being able to change people’s lives for the better. What Dr. Miller wishes many people would realize is that today’s technology has made many procedures cost-effective and longer lasting. Advances in the composition of porcelain have allowed for more durable bridges, veneers and crowns. Small changes that can make a huge difference in a person’s smile such fixing a slight chip, a discolored tooth or a small gap are more affordable than many people might think. “It doesn’t have to be a complete overhaul,” she said. “A minor change can make a big difference in your smile.” During a typical consultation, Dr. Miller talks to patients about their objective and what it is about their smiles that
bothers them. Next, she discusses what she sees both aesthetically and from the standpoint of having a healthy mouth. She also has a straightforward discussion about the costs of procedures to fix the problem. Pictures and impressions are taken, and a wax mock-up is created so that patients can see what the completed dental work would look like. “We educate the patient and come up with a game plan,” she said. Dr. Miller said she operates her practice from the primary tenet of wanting to treat others like she’d want to be treated. From the time a patient walks in the office until they leave, she wants the experience not to be one that is dreaded but, instead, one that makes people feel better about themselves and about their smiles.

STORY BY JON-MICHAEL BROTHERS PHOTOS BY TAMARA WATSON
n what he calls a “natural evolution” of his business, John’s Run/ Walk Shop longtime owner, John Sensenig, has transferred the majority of his ownership to Melody Marshall, a 14-year employee.
“I’m ready to slow down,” said Sensenig, who is 81. “I’m old enough that I don’t need to be on the floor all the time. It’s the way small businesses grow. Melody is an integral part of the management now.” Though owners have kept quiet about it for over a year now – Marshall became owner in early January 2016 – the change may be imperceptible to customers for other reasons, as Sensenig is still at the store every day, still has part ownership and still continues to work, though in a limited capacity. “If I didn’t have some sort of part ownership, they’d probably fire me,” Sensenig joked. As John’s has evolved over the years, realities of modern business have added complexity to the operation, from new marketing, to different social media platforms, to credit card chip readers and other innovative technologies. Sensenig and Marshall were both in agreement that John’s needed an owner willing to put in hundreds of hours. “I’m an old guy; I still don’t do most of that stuff,” said Sensenig. “I’ve still got a flip phone.”

In October 2015, as this list of new responsibilities was being discussed, Marshall and Sensenig decided the next logical step was for her to buy the business. “You find a bright person with an amazing amount of energy, and they’re so valuable to the organization,” said Sensenig. “As I get older I have less energy and she seems to have more.”

A hub for Lexington’s running community, John’s Run/Walk Shop is known for its specialized customer service and is the home base to the active local running group John’s Striders. Employees are also the organizing force behind the annual Iron Horse Half Marathon.
Sensenig opened the store in 1977 under the name of an Atlanta franchise called Phidippides. In a Greek story, Phidippides ran 26.2 miles from Marathon to Athens to give news of a military victory, inspiring the modern marathon. The original location was a couple doors down from its current spot in Chevy Chase. Over the years, it’s seen several name changes. After Phidippides, it became John’s Bluegrass Running and later, John’s Run Shop. The change from Run Shop to Run/Walk Shop was necessitated by the store’s customer base. “A lot of the walkers would come in and they’d say I’m not a runner – I’m just a walker,” said Sensenig. “I’d say, ‘no, you’re not “just” a walker. You’re active; you’re moving; and you need a good pair of shoes.’” Regardless of the shop’s subtitle, locals have known it simply as “John’s” since almost the beginning. In addition to the original store, the company has opened two other locations. Across the street of the Ashland “flagship” location is John’s New Classic Shoes, which opened in the early 2000s, and four years ago, a second Run/Walk shop opened in Palomar Center.

Ready, Set, Retire By Dr. Gregory Kasten
any people view retirement as a prize they’ll win if they work long enough, save enough, and invest well. But when you think about it, retirement isn’t the finish line, it’s the starting line. It’s the start of a new lifestyle and for many it’s an opportunity to enjoy family, hobbies and travel. Enjoying retirement should be easy, but the modern retiree faces many challenges. The Retirement Challenge Retirees commonly face three major hurdles when trying to secure a reliable stream of income in retirement. The first challenge is called ‘Sequence risk’ which is the danger that you’ll retire at the “wrong” time and your savings will suffer from the effects of an economic downturn. Those that retired in late 2007 or 2008 experienced Sequence Risk. The nearly 37% drop in the stock market in 2008 caused irreparable damage on their retirement savings. ‘Inflation Risk’ is another major challenge for retirees. A retiree must be able to build enough growth potential in their retirement investments to guard against future increases in the costs of goods and services, especially healthcare. Even a relatively benign 3% annual inflation rate could boost a $500 monthly grocery bill to $903 over 20 years. Addressing the potential effects of inflation is important for protecting purchasing power during retirement. A recent survey found that three out of five individuals ages 44 to 75 fear outliving their money more than they fear death. ‘Longevity risk’ or the risk of outliving ones retirement resources, is a major concern for those in or nearing retirement. What’s your plan? A recent study reported that 81% of preretirees think a retirement income plan is important. However, 77% of preretirees have no plan. Research from AARP provides a different take. Of the Baby Boomers AARP surveyed, 40% said their plan for having a “retirement” paycheck is to work until they drop. A Better Choice Whether you want to travel the world or stay close to home, your retirement should be exactly what you want it to be. It should be a time for you to enjoy all that you have worked for without having to worry about your funds running out. But as we’re learning, retirement can be challenging and the first step is to make sure that you have a fiduciary,
like Unified Trust, by your side. A financial expert that’s bound by law to act in your best interest. We also know that retirement isn’t a one size fits all solution. So it’s important that you have a personalized retirement solution that addresses the retirement challenges in terms of your goals and expectations — a solution that anticipates lifestyle changes as you age and professionally manages your assets to provide you with a reliable and sustainable income stream throughout your retirement. Unified Trust, a fiduciary based in Lexington, KY, has spent years prudently developing a retirement income solution to help you achieve a reliable income stream in retirement. Unified Trust’s solution, called the Unified IncomePlan® integrates all your financial components — your investments and other financial assets, tax-efficiency planning, trust and estate planning, health care and insurance coverage, lifestyle spending, and cash flow planning — and addresses the challenges that can get in the way of enjoying your retirement years. Retirement is the starting line. Are you ready? ABOUT THE AUTHOR Dr. Gregory W. Kasten, MD, MBA, CFP®, CPC, AIFA®, began his career as a board certified anesthesiologist. In 1985 he founded what is now known as Unified Trust Company, a nationally chartered trust company with offices in Lexington and Louisville. Dr. Kasten was inducted into the Advisor Hall of Fame by Research Magazine in 2012 and was Gregory W. Kasten recently named the 2013 Retirement Chief Executive Officer Plan Adviser of the Year by Employee Unified Trust Company Benefit Adviser Magazine.

While much of Sensenig’s life has revolved around running the shop, being a small business owner wasn’t part of his planned career path. Born in Pennsylvania, he grew up in Texas. After receiving his PhD from Duke University in the 1960s, he moved to Lexington to teach social psychology at the University of Kentucky. He received tenure from UK and could have stayed on as a professor, but decided it was time for a career change. The same year he opened up Phidippides, he finished his research and resigned from UK. He became serious about running after competing in the first Bluegrass 10,000, a Lexington road race that just celebrated its 40th anniversary. To this day, even at 81, Sensenig runs three times a week.
Marshall began running when she was 12. Born in Baltimore, she relocated to Louisville and eventually moved to Lexington in 1983 to attend UK. She began working at John’s 14 years ago as Sensenig’s accountant and financial advisor. Over the course of Marshall’s career at John’s, her responsibilities continued to grow into what they are now. “Melody just evolved without either of us really planning it,” said Sensenig. “She just took on more and more of that whole new aspect of the business.” To both Marshall and Sensenig, running and living a healthy lifestyle go hand in hand –
you can’t have one without the other. Because of this, the company has shifted focus over time from simply a shoe store to an organization that promotes an all-around healthy lifestyle. This shift is present in their health and wellness fairs, plantar fasciitis seminars, promotion of clean eating and fresh-pressed juice, a number of free Pilates classes they offer and a variety of running programs, including “couch-to-5k” training groups and a recently revamped cross-country series. The change was partially fueled by running becoming more of a social sport – one of the reasons the store arranges group runs out of its Chevy Chase and Palomar locations.
Beyond selling running accessories, John’s Run/ Walk Shop strives to promote a healthy lifestyle for its community, hosting wellness fairs, training groups, seminars and a recently revamped crosscountry series. PHOTOS BY TAMARA WATSON

John’s also presents a yearly race called the Iron Horse Half Marathon in Midway that was voted in Runner’s World magazine as one of the top half-marathons in the United States.
Opening in the early 2000s across the street from John’s flagship Run/Walk Shop, John’s Classic Shoes specializes in men’s and women’s boots and casual and dress shoes with an emphasis on comfort and quality.
Sensenig and Marshall attribute much of the shop’s 40-year success to the fact that Lexington embraces local shopping. “It’s a conscious decision to shop local, to not go to the big-box store,” said Marshall. “It’s a conscious decision to not buy online, especially in today’s demographics.”
PHOTO BY TAMARA WATSON
The store has cultivated a devoted customer base over the years, and Sensenig has been a core part of that growth, and Marshall and other members of the staff are glad he still plays a role in the shop’s day-to-day success, despite the changes. “We want to be here, we want to keep this going,” said Marshall. “We love it; the employees love it; the community seems to love it. We’re hoping John’s still sitting here swapping old running stories when he’s 100 years old.” cc
John’s Striders The community of runners and walkers surrounding John’s Run/Walk Shop has been an integral component to the small business’s success over the past 40 years. The running and walking club known as John’s Striders is free to join and welcomes walkers and runners of every pace. The group meets several times a week for group runs and hosts a multitude of training groups throughout the year, from “Couch-to-5K”s to marathon groups. Led by employees from John’s Run/ Walk Shop and other runners/walkers from the community, the group has a heavy emphasis on camaraderie and fun while gaining a higher level of fitness. John’s Striders will host a “Don’t Break It Resolution Run” at noon on Feb. 11. For more info on this race, which is geared to help runners and walkers keep up with New Year’s fitness goals, as well as other upcoming runs in the area, visit the comprehensive local race calendar featured on the shop’s website: www.johnsrunwalkshop.com/therace-calendar. cc

CreativeMornings lands in Lexington, highlighting innovation and inspiration BY SARA SPROULL AND SARAYA BREWER ots of artists may say that art has saved their lives, but the claim bears a particularly heavy weight coming from Kentucky artist Mark Francis, who became known on a national scale as one of the country’s most prolific prison artists during his 28-year incarceration sentence. It was in prison that Francis started creating art – primarily papier-machè dioramas using the materials that were available to him, and exploring the dark emotional and psychological impacts of both incarceration and his troubled childhood. This month, Francis – recently released after serving his sentence – will talk alongside his
34
art dealer about the impact that art has had on his life to a room full of Lexington “creative types,” at the second local installment of CreativeMornings Lexington, an international lecture series that made its Lexington debut in January. While Friday mornings are often a time for drinking coffee, anticipating the weekend and preparing for that routine business meeting you’d rather not attend, CreativeMornings has something new in mind for your workday: a meeting of creative minds that leaves you inspired and excited to work. The series aims to reach outside the box with a diverse and often unexpected line-up of local speakers. Founded in 2008 by Brooklyn native Tina Roth Eisenberg, CreativeMornings describes itself as “a breakfast lecture series for the creative community.” The global series now features established chapters in more than 160 cities worldwide, each following a rela-
tively simple concept: breakfast and a short talk one Friday a month. The parallels with the fellow well-known lecture series TED Talks are obvious, but with one important caveat: CreativeMornings emphasizes local communities, with local meetings designed to be accessible and easy to attend. All events are free and open to everyone, though online registration (which opens the Monday before the event) is required, and often fills quickly (registration for the January meeting met capacity within the first hour it opened). On a typical CreativeMornings Friday, checkin starts at 8:30 a.m., with time for coffee, pastries and socializing. At 9 a.m., at the locally curated speaker presents on the theme of the month (which is the same for each of the global CreativeMornings cities). A brief Q&A follows, and by 10 a.m., you’re off to work. When local legislative aide Jamie Rodgers expressed interest in the program to Celeste

Lewis, director of the Downtown Arts Center, Lewis decided to attend a program at the Louisville chapter to find out more. She fell in love with the concept. “The energy of it is amazing,” Lewis said. “Everybody’s in it for the greater good and the community.” Though the CreativeMornings brand spans continents, its model highlights local issues and talent. Each event is run almost entirely by local volunteers. Chapters rely on community sponsors to supply venue space and breakfast, but only the photographer and videographer are paid. Because there are no fees to headquarters, CreativeMornings is, in a sense, a community effort. Rodgers and Lewis, who is now the official Lexington host, reached out to advertising agency Cornett and visual production company Kong Productions for help with applying Lexington to become a CreativeMornings city. In addition to an online application and Skype interview, organizers were required to submit a three-minute video showcasing the creative talents of the Lexington community.
Indeed, Lexington’s inclusion is something of an outlier among CreativeMornings chapters, which primarily include major global metropolitan cities such as New York, Mumbai and Hong Kong. CreativeMornings’ website states that applications are typically only accepted from cities with populations of at least 500,000; Lexington’s population is around 310,000. Nonetheless, Lexington’s application was impressive enough to convince headquarters. Of course, Lexington’s thriving creative community is no surprise to those who live here. In 2015, USA Today included Lexington in its list of “15 most inspiring cities for young artists.” And according to Scott Shapiro, chief innovation officer for Mayor Jim Gray, Lexington boast more arts and cultural institutions per capita than some of the country’s largest cities.
CreativeMornings February Meeting Friday, Feb. 17 at 8:30 a.m. ArtsPlace, 161 N. Mill St. Online registration available at www.creativemornings.com beginning Monday, Feb. 13. The second installment of Lexington’s CreativeMornings meeting will feature prolific prison artist Mark Francis, who works under the name Marvin Francis and was recently released from a 28-year prison sentence. An accompanying exhibit of Francis’ work is on display at ArtsPlace. cc
Organizers hope that the community’s small size will be an advantage to the chapter. “Hopefully, it’ll be more intimate and connected,” said Jason Majewski, a senior copywriter for Cornett who serves on the local organizing team.
According to Whit Hiler, a key organizer for Lexington’s CreativeMornings chapter who works at Cornett, the organization’s local presence will provide a global platform for Lexington’s creative community.
That’s not to suggest that the Lexington chapter will exclusively target “traditional” artist types – rather, CreativeMornings espouses the idea that anyone can be creative in their work, regardless of industry.
“It creates a larger audience for the cool things that people are doing,” Hiler said. “It’s about celebrating success stories that are happening in Lexington.”
“It’s not just art and performance. It’s cooking and technology and fashion and … everything,” said Lewis. “It’s meant to open the doors to what creativity is.” cc

BY HARRIETT ROSE atching TV or reading the newspapers has not given many people a good experience for the past three weeks. Bombast, bragging, threats, continuation of campaign rhetoric have served to keep uneasy feelings alive at a time when the country would be better served by efforts to reconcile than by rubbing salt in the political wounds. Depression, fear, resentment have been the predominant emotions of the losing voters in the presidential election, instead of resignation and willingness to work to unify the electorate.
The broadcast showing outgoing president Barack Obama awarding of the Presidential Medal to Vice President Biden was a welcome change of scene and a surprising emotional event to the whole company. In the first place, no one could decry Joe Biden’s worthiness to the honor bestowed on him, and the sweetness of the emotion displayed between two men who have borne the burden and responsibility of government for eight years was refreshing. I have seen different emotions shown between other presidents and their would-be successors – even hostility. These two men and their families served our country with honor, the dignity expected of such positions and proper behavior. Not a whiff of scandal has dirtied the names of either man, their wives or their children.

Maybe I am still imbued with the expectations of people in high places that Civics classes taught me in those times when lapses of behavior were not gleefully reported by the media in their “27/7” quests for news. It wasn’t so long ago when everybody didn’t know that FDR and DDE had mistresses, and JFK had multiple affairs. My illusions about those men didn’t change the good of their service at that time; it just cost them their halos and me my illusions. I like the fact that the Obamas and the Bidens were the kind of people who deserve and earned my respect. It may be time for someone to say, ”Grow up, Harriett! Times have changed. We live in the 21st century, and people have changed with the times!” I know this! I just preferred it when a man’s word was his bond. I liked it better then, and despite your political leanings, I’d be willing to bet you did too! cc

Chevy Chaser’s Drink of the Month
10-YEAR SNAP
INTRO AND PHOTO BY THERESA STANLEY RECIPE BY NATALIE WHITE BARTENDER, TABLE 310
Ten-year (and older) bourbons are usually best for sipping neat or with a couple drops of water. Recently, I had a craft cocktail that used a 10-year bourbon – a really good 10-year Kentucky bourbon. The hesitance to consume a cocktail using a nicer bourbon wore off quickly, as the drink surprised my palate with a bourbon and gingersnap-spiced foam that was perfectly frothed with a seasonal accent of orange and nutmeg. Don’t be afraid of the egg white. Think of this drink as a tasty bourbon science experiment.
ACCEPTING NEW PATIENTS
Recipe makes one (darn good) drink. Ingredients: • 1 1/2 ounces bourbon (preferably a 10-year bourbon) • 1 ounce orange juice • 1/2 ounce simple syrup • 1/2 ounce gingersnap liqueur • Whites of one egg • Ground nutmeg Instructions: Combine all ingredients in a cocktail shaker, and shake vigorously for a minute. Add ice to shaker, and shake for 30 seconds more to chill the drink. Strain into cocktail coupe. Lightly dust top of drink with ground nutmeg. cc

A grilled cheese sandwich is the essence of comfort food, yet can easily be made into elegant party fare with a few small touches. This easy recipe, provided by Cole Arimes, owner and chef of Coles 735 Main, takes grilled cheese to the next level. “Every time I serve these sandwiches at a party, they disappear before guests turn to the other dishes – just goes to show no one can resist a little grilled cheese, no matter the occasion,” Arimes said. Pair with your favorite tomato soup for a satisfying meal.

Ingredients: • 1/2 pound unsalted butter, room temperature • 1/2 bunch Italian flat leaf parsley, finely chopped • 2 tablespoons black truffle oil • 2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce • 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper • 1 loaf French baguette, cut into 1/8-inch slices at a slight angle (or thicker, if preferred) • 1 pound Gruyere cheese • 10 ripe Roma tomatoes, cut into 1/4-inch slices • 1/2 cup lemon oil Instructions: In a small mixing bowl, combine butter, parsley, truffle oil, Worcestershire and pepper. Blend together using a fork and set aside. Place tomatoes on a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper, careful not to overlap slices. Drizzle with lemon oil and sprinkle with salt and cracked black pepper. Roast in the oven at 350 for 10-15 minutes, until tender but not browned. Set aside.
The addition of roasted tomatoes, truffle oil and lemon oil add complexity and flavor to these miniature grilled cheese sandwiches, a popular party item created by Cole’s 735 Main chef and owner Cole Arimes. PHOTOS BY THERESA STANLEY
Slice cheese 1/8-inch thick and cut to the size of the baguette slices. A little overhang is fine. Brush one side of half of the baguette slices with butter, and place buttered side down on parchment. Build the sandwiches on the buttered slices, in the order of cheese, tomato, cheese, top slice of baguette. Brush butter on the top side of the sandwich. Cook on a hot plate or skillet at 350 degrees. Brown and flip. Cook until cheese is melted. cc
