I SCREAM, YOU SCREAM Celebrate National Ice Cream Month by getting to know three local businesses specializing in craft frozen treats STORY BY TANZI MERRITT

W

hen Lexington residents wanted to cool off with a frozen treat, for many years their choices were limited to major massproduced ice cream brands stocked in supermarkets or scoops from large national ice cream and frozen yogurt shops. In the past few years, as the “support local” and farm-to-table movements have grown, craft ice creams, gelatos and sorbets have joined beer, coffee and chocolate on the list of popular craft food and beverages.

July is National Ice Cream Month, and in celebration we’ve conducted a Q&A with the brains behind three of Lexington’s locally owned and operated businesses specializing in craft frozen treats.

Crank & Boom

C

rank & Boom started with a two-quart Cuisinart ice cream maker and a simple idea: Nothing goes better with Thai food than coconut ice cream.

Toa and Mike Green had already made a name for themselves locally as owners of the Thai Orchid Cafe when in 2011 they decided to introduce a homemade frozen treat to the menu. Customers loved the coconut ice cream, and the Greens began adding additional flavors such as strawberry and sweet potato pie. The flavors continued to expand, and the restaurateurs noticed some customers were coming to Thai Orchid solely for the ice cream. An official brand was born, and Crank & Boom was launched at the popular downtown seasonal music event Thursday Night Live in 2013.

It wasn’t long until Crank & Boom was being served at festivals and events, and in several local restaurants. As inquiries about where customers could buy their favorite flavors continued to increase, the Greens decided to shift focus. They closed Thai Orchid and put their full culinary energies toward Crank & Boom.

Following the 2013 launch of Toa Green’s ice cream brand, the brickand-mortar establishment Crank & Boom Ice Cream Lounge opened in 2015 in Lexington’s revamped distillery district. The brand is slated to open a second location this fall at the The Summit at Fritz Farm.

Following two years of operating as a “popup” shop and brand featured in several local restaurants and retail locations, the brand’s first brick-and-mortar establishment, Crank & Boom Ice Cream Lounge, opened in 2015 in Lexington’s revamped Distillery District. Serving several flavors made with local ingredients (signature flavors include Bourbon & Honey, Kentucky Blackberry & Buttermilk and Coffee Stout) – as well as a variety of booze-infused ice cream cocktails and other decadent desserts – the venue also features the Vault Room, an event space outfitted for parties, corporate meetings and other events. With more than 40 local retail partners, Crank & Boom is slated to open its second location this fall, at The Summit at Fritz Farm’s all-local food hall, The Barn.

Sav’s Chill

M

amadou Savane knew he wanted something to satisfy his customers’ craving for sweets when he opened Sav’s Grill & West African Cuisine in 2008, so he stocked his campus-area eatery with a handful of flavors from Winchester ice cream producer Valentine’s Gourmet Ice Cream. When the opportunity arose in 2012 to take over a storefront across the street from his South Limestone restaurant, Sav’s Chill was born.

MAMADOU SAVANE OWNER OF SAV’S CHILL

What’s your favorite ice cream flavor?

As a Kentuckian, serve me up the bourbon ice creams: bourbon ball, bourbon chocolate, Kentucky Coffee (a bourbon espresso flavor) – and now bourbon honey!

The new corner space offered an opportunity to expand on the flavors served at Sav’s Grill, and the shop started with 24 flavors of ice cream, gelato and sorbet.

In 2014, when the owner of Valentine’s Gourmet Ice Cream left Kentucky, Savane purchased the ice cream company, and his college-age son, Bangaly, now 23, quickly took to the burgeoning family business, managing operations on a dayto-day basis.

In addition to traditional flavors, Sav’s Chill concocts some unique flavors, including Ale-8-One sorbet and Hot Banana, made with banana and Sav’s Grill’s signature spicy Piment hot sauce. The company also features a mobile location called Sav’s Chill Wagon, which serves up a selection of flavors at Lexington’s many festivals and outdoor events.

What is your earliest memory of ice cream?

When I was a child in Guinea in the early 1970s, there was a single ice cream shop. They served only chocolate and vanilla, and I went there as often as possible.

Cup or cone? Milkshake!

What’s your favorite part about having an ice cream shop? Making so many people happy. But I also love that it’s a family affair. Our ice cream is made by father and son, served by me or my son, Bangaly, in the shop. At fairs and festivals you might see my wife or one or both of my daughters serving it up, as well.

What’s your favorite thing about Lexington?

The people, and the feeling of community.

People here are friendly and care about each other and are willing to lend a hand, and that makes Lexington a special place to live. I am happy here. I am a Lexingtonian.

ne of the newest additions to Lexington’s craft frozen treat market, Sorella Gelateria opened in 2016, bringing a dream of sisters Alma Kajtazovic and Selma Sulejmanagic to life.

Though the sisters had been working in other industries, they had long hoped to combine Sulejmanagic’s love of culinary arts and Kajtazovic’s business experience. When a historic property on North Limestone was remodeled, it provided them with the perfect space to set up Lexington’s first artisan gelato shop.

Sorella’s gelato is made fresh daily from ingredients hand-picked by Sulejmanagic and sourced from local farmers and grocery stores; a few special ingredients are imported directly from Italy to recreate the traditional and authentic taste of Italian gelato. The gelato contains no artificial flavors or sweeteners and is pro-

What’s your favorite ice cream flavor?

Alma loves hazelnut, while Selma prefers dulce de leche.

What is your earliest memory of ice cream?

Alma: There is a brand of whipped cream in Bosnia called Ledo. All of our moms used it in their coffee, and all kids loved to eat it. Our whipped cream flavor gelato is inspired by that flavor.

What is the best spot in Lexington to sit outside and have ice cream? Selma: I love to grab a scoop of gelato and walk over to Gratz Park or window shop on North Limestone.

Cup or cone? Cup – gelato melts a little faster, so it isn’t great for a cone!

duced in small batches by Sulejmanagic, who perfected her gelato-making skills in northern Italy.

Sorella serves traditional Italian gelato flavors such as chocolate, hazelnut and pistachio, as well as many fruit flavors.

Unique flavors can be found in the shop daily, and most special flavor requests can be accommodated for large orders.

What’s your favorite ice cream cocktail?

Alma: Peach sorbet and a bubbly rose.

Selma: Iced coffee with caramel gelato with a splash of Kahlua or Irish creme.

What’s your favorite part about having an ice cream shop? Selma loves creating new flavors and seeing people enjoy them, and both sisters love the community aspect of running a small business and being able to work together every day.

What’s your favorite thing about Lexington?

Selma: After coming to Lexington as refugees, having a home in this community is special. We also have a lot of great food. cc

WELCOME TO SUMMER ‘GLAMP’ For your next weekend getaway, these regional locales offer more glamorous – and possibly more adventurous – alternatives to traditional tent camping STORY BY JARRETT VAN METER

C

amping has long been a favorite Kentucky summer adventure for families, couples and friendly crews – but, admittedly, lugging a car full of supplies to the woods to sleep on the ground in a cramped tent is not necessarily everyone’s idea of “relaxation.”

Several locales in the region are now offering alternative lodging geared to satisfy the sights, smells and sounds of “camping” – but with some added amenities to make the experience a bit more comfortable and appealing for those “semi-outdoorsy” types among us.

Paris Landing www.parislanding.us/glamping/ Paris, Kentucky

H

aving spent the entirety of his adult life working in the events business, Brian Dickens, owner of the new Bourbon County resort, event and adventure center Paris Landing, had long wanted to own his own space for hosting everything from corporate picnics to weekend retreats. The Nicholasville native bought the piece of property for his dream project a little less than two years ago and has been fine-tuning it ever since. Among the most unique and popular offerings of Paris Landing is its “glamping” option, which allows guests to book overnight stays in one of two luxury, weather-proof canvas tents fitted with a King bed, oriental rugs and other antique-inspired furnishings.

A more traditional cabin that sleeps four is also available for overnight rentals.

Use of the grounds is included as part of Paris Landing’s “glamping” rental package – hammocks and shady picnic areas are scattered about the property, which sits on the bank of Stoner Creek. Guests have the option to book a two-and-a-halfhour pontoon dinner cruise up the creek, passing some of the world’s most notable Thoroughbred farms en route to a quiet covered bridge. Guests also have access to kayaks, paddle boards and a water tricycle to explore the creek. Upon their return, they can freshen up in what Dickens calls the “oasis of relaxation”: a specially designed bathhouse featuring an old-fashioned clawfoot bathtub and private shower. There’s an outdoor grill on the premises, and Dickens has an astronomer, campfire musicians, storytellers and a fishing guide on call in order to fulfill guests’ every curiosity.

“I’m somewhat nostalgic but also somewhat spoiled,” says Dickens. “A lot of the things I enjoyed as a kid – playing in the creek, camping, cooking hot dogs over the fire and spending time with family – I feel like people miss those days, but they also have become more dependent on their cell

Paris Landing at Stoner Creek, a new Bourbon County event venue, resort and low-key adventure center, specializes in an upscale “glamping” experience, which owner Brian Dickens describes as “camping for people who usually stay at the Hilton.”

phones and the internet. I felt like if we offered them Hilton-like accommodations in a camping atmosphere, there would be a lot of adults who would want to take their kids and show them the simpler life that they enjoyed when they were a kid.”

Guests are also able to explore historic Bourbon County, which Dickens considers to be the perfect location for his dream venture, which is also available to rent for weddings and other events.

“Paris has almost a Mayberry quality to it,” he says. “It’s only a half-hour away from Lexington, but there is a world of difference.

I think people from big cities like stepping back into those simpler times. Because it’s a small town, you get a greater flavor of the horse industry here, too.”

Tent rentals start at $145 a night, and the cabin is $195. The fee includes firewood and usage of the watercrafts. Tent camping on the grounds is not permitted.

arm, campground and events.

These are the three pillars of HomeGrown HideAways, which opened shortly after Lexington native Jessa Turner and her husband, Nathan, purchased their Berea farm in 2009.

Jessa Turner developed a love for the outdoors early in life through her many exploratory adventures at Red River Gorge and on her family’s farm in Woodford County, where she would often set up a tent and sleep in the backyard. As a student at Berea College in 2006, she wrote her first business plan for what HomeGrown HideAways venture eventually became. The priorities were straightforward: She knew she wanted a farm, she knew she wanted to have events that would bring people together, and she knew she wanted to host educational workshops on her land. With lots of friends in bands, the Turners also wanted a place where they could host small concerts. When the couple first came across the 100-acre holler on the market – which already had a pavilion and a stage on-site, as well as RV hookups – they knew they had stumbled into a special opportunity to realize their dream.

“It was just a really great place to get the ball

rolling – if we had just bought a raw piece of land where we had to build all of this stuff, we would probably still be [working on] it,” says Turner.

After years of operating as an event venue, hosting festivals, reunions, weddings and other events, HomeGrown HideAways has recently tightened its focus on the arena of temporary alternative lodging. A 24-foot tipi equipped with an interior fire pit can sleep up to 10 guests, while a vaulted yurt treehouse (dubbed “Abi’s Arboreal Abode”) provides an alternate option for a group of four. Similar to the yurt is an 18-foot custom “yome” option, fit with maple floors, a wood-burning stove and a large deck, that can sleep six. While the

tipi is not equipped with furnishings, cots are available for rent, and both the yome and yurt feature futon and bed options.

The couple grows food on the land and Nathan is a chef; guests can request a delicious “on-farm” meal in advance if they wish.

The 100-acre farm also features campsites for tent camping, with a playground, cornhole set and two disc-golf baskets on-site. Further activities include stargazing, swimming, canoeing, fishing, hiking and birdwatching. The facilities all share a bath house with solarheated showers and flush toilets. The farm hosts several festivals and events during the summer, so check ahead for availability.

The Berea venue HomeGrown HideAways offers an increasingly diverse array of overnight adventure lodging options, including an elevated yurt (above and left) and a 24-foot tipi (far left).

Canopy Crew Treehouses

D

www.thecanopycrew.com/tree-house-rentals Red River Gorge, Kentucky

jango Kroner moved to the Red River Gorge after graduating high school to gain proximity to his two loves: climbing and trees. He lived in a tent for the first six months in the Gorge, until he woke up one morning to find a copperhead snake in his shoe. Having always wanted to build a treehouse, Kroner took the unwanted reptile visitor as a sign to move upward.

“I just remember thinking that it looked really nice up there,” Kroner said.

He was pragmatic in his approach, opting to move back to his hometown, Cincinnati, to study under an arborist, before building his first treehouse on the property of a friend. The response was positive, and he soon found there was a large demand for lofted rooms that are equal parts environmentally tactful and tasteful.

“That quickly became my main passion, even more so than the building,” said Kroner of the ecological understanding required to build guilt-free, yet durable, structures. “That is definitely what sets us apart,” he added, referring to The Canopy Crew, the treehousebuilding company he founded in 2013. “There are plenty of people that can put wood up in a tree and make it look good, but whether or not it’s going to interact well with the tree’s anatomy and whether or not it is going to last are totally different things.”

The Canopy Crew builds private treehouses for clients, using proceeds to build some additional treehouses that are available to the public for overnight rentals. So far, the company has two (both located at Red River Gorge) available for rent, and Kroner said more are in the works.

Of those two, The Observatory is the newer and more adventurous option. Designed for a group of up to four, it sits right on a cliff line.

Guests climb a 200-step floating staircase to traverse the steep hillside leading up to the house, then use ship ladders to climb up and down between two bedrooms (including an all-glass master bedroom), kitchen and observation deck. The unit comes equipped with a highpowered telescope for star gazing. Having been open for just a year, the venue has quickly earned a reputation as one of the best local romantic getaways.

“I have already heard several stories of people proposing up there,” Kroner said.

The Cincinnati-based company Canopy Crew has built two intricately designed treehouses that are available for overnight rental in the Red River Gorge.

BY PETER MCDERMOTT AND DJANGO KRONER

The other available treehouse is the Sylvan Float, which is cozy and more accessible than The Observatory. Built two years ago, the Sylvan Float is suspended between a red oak tree and a hickory tree. Guests enter via a suspension bridge, and a hammock is built into the unit’s wraparound porch.

Prices for both units vary from peak to slow season; both are heated and feature gas kitchen ranges and composting toilets. Tent camping is not permitted on either site. With either option, guests will enjoy plentiful fireflies at night and dense fog in the morning.

“On foggy mornings, it feels like you are waking up and sailing through the clouds,” Kroner said. cc CHEVYCHASER.COM || JULY 2017

Chevy Chaser Real Estate Review

Is it time to sell?

Local Realtors and other real estate experts say Lexington’s residential real estate market is as hot as it’s ever been

W

hen Mike and Allyson Heissenbuttel started looking to buy their first home in Lexington four months ago, they knew the local housing market was heating up – but they didn’t expect it to sizzle quite that fast.

With the lease on their Mentelle Park home coming up for renewal, the couple started actively looking for a place to call their own.

They wanted something close to downtown and priced under $300,000, and they didn’t mind the idea of putting a little work into it. They found a house that fit the bill in the nearby Kenwick neighborhood and made an offer the same day, Mike Heissenbuttel said.

But they lost out right away to a bidder who offered more than the asking price for the property. The same thing happened on the second house they found. And the third. And the fourth.

“We lost out on three other offers to someone bidding over asking price,” Mike Heissenbuttel said. “On the last one, we were going to offer over asking price, and the Realtor said, ‘Don’t bother – that’s not enough.’”

high and inventory is low, especially in the below-$400,000 price range.”

Reinhold attributes the recent frenzy to low interest rates paired with an increase in consumer confidence, both converging at a time when many would-be first-time homebuyers are deciding they have waited long enough.

While it’s not a completely uncommon story in today’s local market, such frenzied bidding wars are still more the exception than the rule, even for the current highly active real estate environment. While lower-priced property listings have been somewhat limited, that is not the case for homebuyers with slightly higher budgets, said Turf Town Properties Realtor Rick Queen.

And the Heissenbuttels aren’t the only ones, according to some local Realtors, who said Lexington has been experiencing the most active real estate scene they’ve witnessed in decades.

“I think it’s really more a matter of price range,” Queen said. “For homes priced up to $300,000, there’s a very low inventory in the whole area ... There’s a real shortage of properties for sale in that price range, but as you climb out of that level, the inventories are very decent.”

“It’s the busiest market I can remember, and I’ve been selling real estate for 30-plus years,” said Becky Reinhold, principal broker for Bluegrass Sotheby’s International Realty and Realtor for the Heissenbuttels. “Demand is

Although many are quick to point to concerns about inventory and supply, the prevalence of new buyers and the resulting rise in demand has been the real driving force behind the current market activity, Queen said.

The Heissenbuttels, who are in their late 20s, are among a growing number of millennials, both nationwide and in Fayette County, who are making the leap into homeownership a little later in life than previous generations, said David O’Neill, Fayette County’s property valuation administrator. According to a recent Fayette County Housing Demand Study, homeownership rates in Lexington, which dropped from 55.3 percent in 2005 to 51.5 percent in 2015, are expected to rise back up to 52.75 percent by 2025.

At the same time, Lexington’s population is on pace to top 350,000 by 2025, according to the study. To accommodate that growth, the city would need to bring an estimated 22,780 additional housing units online between 2015 and 2025.

“That’s a rate that Lexington is nowhere near – nor have we ever been,” said O’Neill.

“So therefore, demand is going to continue to be high, and prices are probably going to continue to increase.”

And it’s not just the first-time buyers who are feeling the urgency to move fast, said Bluegrass Sotheby’s Realtor Mina Mattone.

Mattone sees a lot of young professionals these days who are very attached to their

neighborhoods and just biding their time in smaller living spaces as they wait for the right real estate sign to appear in front of a bigger and better house nearby.

Mattone recently sold a five-bedroom Victorian on Central Avenue priced just under $600,000 in less than a day, she said.

A couple walking by the home a few hours after she planted the for-sale sign asked to look around, and an agreement of almost full price was cemented by noon the next day.

When Mattone sold the exact same house four years prior, it lingered on the market with little interest for six months before coming under contract.

“That doesn’t happen every day,” Mattone said. “But it’s just a very different market.”

A shortage of supply One major factor in the frenzy that some homebuyers like the Heissenbuttels have been experiencing is an unusually low inventory of homes on the market, especially for those at lower price points.

“A lot of that is because Lexington is not replenishing its supply of entry-level homes,” O’Neill said.

New homes that are being built tend to fall into higher price ranges, O’Neill said.

At the same time, the low sales inventory has driven up demand for rentals. More investors have jumped into the market to vie for homes they can convert into long-term rental income, O’Neill said, which means even fewer available properties for today’s first-time home shoppers than before.

The issue of a sufficient housing supply is one that needs to be addressed as the city looks to update its Comprehensive Plan in 2018, O’Neill said, and the debate is already underway on whether to expand the Urban Services Boundary, the growth boundary that limits development on rural areas within Fayette County.

“Something’s got to give,” O’Neill said. “For whatever reason, people don’t seem to be terribly incentivized to pursue further infill development [under the current system].

Hopefully that will change with our next Comprehensive Plan.”

For Queen, while a mild winter and an early

spring launched a very active buying season in the Bluegrass, the bigger picture shows a market that has been building steadily and consistently. But that doesn’t mean local buyers are leaping to snap up any deal they can find, he warned.

as Masterson Station and Chilesburg, have tightened up, with very few options presenting themselves for resale, Queen said.

“I don’t think that it is absolutely unreal from the past couple of years,” Queen said.

“Almost all of Fayette County has been busy, but certainly price and location still drive the business. … People are looking more for homes that are ready to move into, and ones that suit their lifestyles a little better.”

The scarcity of inventory means it is an excellent time to sell, Mattone said – provided the owner knows where they plan to move.

Neighborhoods on the rise

“You don’t really have a second chance to bring buyers back to a home if everything wasn’t complete when it hit the market,” Queen said.

Neighborhoods that have been perennially desirable have continued to maintain steady popularity in the current climate, O’ Neill said. Reinhold said neighborhoods such as Chevy Chase, Kenwick, Ashland Park, Glendover and Lansdowne have been especially attractive to buyers, as has the downtown area.

“Downtown is eclectic enough to attract the young hipsters and professional 40-somethings as well as the semi-retired ‘cool’ older groups,” Reinhold said. “[They] all appreciate being able to walk to restaurants and events. There is no one stereotype or average price range for downtown, and that’s what makes it a fun place to live.”

But rising demand has also contributed to a notable increase in turnover activity in a growing number of older communities built after World War II, such as the Southland Drive corridor and areas along Clays Mill Road.

Smaller homes in the Southland area that were available not too long ago for less than $100,000 are now selling for twice that amount, according to Mattone.

“There’s a whole generation of older people who are moving on, and young people are just buying them up like hotcakes,” Mattone said.

“It’s the up-and-coming place to be.”

Queen has been seeing a lot of transition in not-so-old neighborhoods like Hartland Gardens, where original homeowners who have lived there for 15 to 20 years and are now looking to move on to the next stage in their lives.

In addition, some newer neighborhoods, such

Advice for buyers and sellers

And in a fast-moving market, it is worth the investment for potential sellers to get their homes market-ready before they invite buyers to look, Queen said.

At the same time, homebuyers should be sure to consider all the options and be willing to open their search criteria a little wider than they might have initially intended, Queen said.

“There are certain areas that look appealing and that might not be as price sensitive as other markets,” Queen said.

Reinhold suggests that buyers try to stay patient, and if there is no imperative to buy, they might wait until the real estate cycle slows naturally, which typically happens a bit later in the fall.

For the Heissenbuttels, their search eventually paid off, although it still meant moving fast enough to beat other buyers to the punch. When Mike Heissenbuttel found a promising new listing for a house on Tahoma Road on an early morning in June, he called Reinhold right away to get him in as quickly as possible. He walked through the house at 9 a.m. the same day, while his wife was at work, and they worked up a full-price offer on the spot, which was accepted.

“In the end it worked out,” Mike Heissenbuttel said. “I think we ended up getting the best house we looked at, but the process has been just draining.”

His advice to other homebuyers is not to let the pressure get to them.

“Even though it seems like you’re never going to find it, you will,” he said. “You just have to be patient.” cc

I

n talking recently with a handful of local Realtors, potential home buyers and our friends at the Fayette County Property Valuation Administrator’s office, at least one fact seems to be agreed upon across the board: Lexington’s current real estate market is as action-packed as many can remember it ever being.

While the mortgage market hasn’t loosened significantly, an increase in availability of mortgage loans for qualified borrowers and generally low interest rates are among the factors that may have contributed to this prevalence of new home buyers and spike in recent activity; another potential factor is Fayette County’s steadily growing population rate, which is steadily outpacing local housing options. An executive summary recently released by a group of partners that includes homebuilders, real estate agents, the Fayette Alliance and various local government agencies projected a need to build nearly 3,000 new housing units in Fayette County per year to keep up with current levels of population growth to meet the projected population by 2025 – which would require more than doubling current production levels.

Certain neighborhoods are feeling the heat of the current real estate market activity more strongly than others, and bearing in mind the complexity of accurately conveying the actual atmosphere of the current local real estate market through numbers and charts, on the following pages we’ve taken an upclose look at a few residential neighborhoods in this magazines distribution area that have seen a lot of action during the past 12 months. We’ve pulled data from the past 12 months (June 1, 2016-May 31, 2017), as well as the prior year for comparison.

We’d like to give a special thanks to the Fayette County PVA office for supplying the maps and data that appear on the following pages; visit fayettepva.com for more information and additional property value assessment data. cc

STORY BY CANDACE CHANEY PHOTOS BY ESTILL ROBINSON

A

s an artist living in his native Nairobi during the Kenyan crisis of 2007-2008, Kiptoo Tarus became obsessed with drawing hands – specifically, the innocent hands of those who had died from political violence in his country and community.

“What are the last things that they reached for to hold onto life?” Tarus said in an interview in his Kenwick home, where dozens of sculptures in various states of progress dapple his backyard studio.

Perhaps most known for his large-scale hand sculptures situated on Short Street during the 2015 Breeder’s Cup beautification of downtown Lexington, Tarus is quickly becoming a rising star in the regional visual arts scene. From a 2016 solo exhibition at the Lyric Theatre and Cultural Arts Center to inclusion in group shows at Transylvania University and the Headley-Whitney Museum, Tarus’ wood sculptures – often carved with a chainsaw – are gaining a growing following.

6/23/17 6:19 PM

Several of Tarus’ hand sculptures have been popping up around the Kenwick neighborhood, a phenomenon that started after Tarus created a large-scale set of praying hands in the front yard of a fellow Kenwick friend whose wife was battling cancer. Carved directly from a felled tree in the yard, which is situated at a well-traveled intersection, the artist said the process of transforming the wood represented, on a deeper level, transformations of time, place and people.

“Everyone in this neighborhood has seen these hands,” he said. “It’s a vibration.”

That vibration has led to more and more neighbors approaching Tarus for a commission of their own public yard sculpture.

“People have been coming to me and saying they would like would like one of the hand sculptures too – I tell them to go pick one,” Tarus said with a smile, nodding at the many sculptures inhabiting his backyard studio.

While Tarus is enjoying an explosion of interest in his work, it came after years of effort, a chance encounter and a dramatic “aha” moment that involved setting his work on fire.

Perhaps best known locally for his wooden hand sculptures, Tarus’s subjects and media vary, often drawing inspiration from the nomadic life of his native Kenya. The artist also created the metal sign and bike rack sign for the local brewery Mirror Twin (below).

PHOTOS BY ESTILL ROBINSON

When he was still an undergraduate student at the University of Nairobi for Design, the artist met University of Kentucky associate professor of sculpture Garry Bibbs, who paid a visit to his school during a trip to Kenya.

While Tarus’ undergraduate degree is in painting and drawing, for his final show, he branched out into three-dimensional works, confounding his professors (University of Nairobi does not offer programs in sculpture), who connected him with Bibbs during his visit.

“I looked at [Bibbs’] website and thought ‘this is the direction of contemporary sculpture,’” said Tarus. “From that point, we talked and he gave me critiques. He asked me, ‘so when you graduate here, what are you going to do?

What do you think about grad school?’”

Tarus hadn’t thought about graduate school, but Bibbs’ visit planted the seed, and for the next three years, Tarus applied to UK but was denied admission.

In the meantime, he had taken a job as a brand manager for a bank in Nairobi, a gig he eventually quit to focus on his art.

6/23/17 6:19 PM

Determined to experience a breakthrough in his sculptural work, Tarus turned to the guidance of a local mentor, a tribal art sculptor who gifted him with a chisel he still uses to this day. “He gave me one chisel and said ‘go forth,’� says Tarus, who transformed his Kenyan home at the time into a full-scale art studio.

Working with tree roots left over from a construction site, the artist began building a new body of work. After a falling out with that mentor, who accused him of copying his work – an accusation Tarus vehemently denies – the young artist went home and, deeply frustrated and angry, lit his work on fire. “When I left, almost immediately, it started raining and the rain put out the fire,� Tarus remembered. “Maybe three quarters had been consumed by the fire, but there were pieces that remained. “I came back the following day and looked at the pieces – I picked up one and brushed it off, and I was looking at these pieces and they were communicating totally differently,� he continued. “I started building them back again, but every time I was building them, I was burning and torching them again, so it gave me a new style.�

Tarus has recently been pursuing an interest in equestrian-themed art, including this hand-carved clay sculpture of Man O’ War’s head, which will be featured in his upcoming exhibit at the Hunt-Morgan House in July.

Tarus has transformed his Kenwick backyard into a workshop that resembles a sculpture garden. He said he enjoys spending time year round in this metal hammock that he fashioned. “In the winter, I curl up here with a blanket,” he said.

PHOTO BY ESTILL ROBINSON

Tarus’ gamble with this new process and style paid off – he was accepted to UK’s graduate program to study sculpture on his fourth try in 2012 and moved to Lexington soon after. Historically inspired by the nomadic, pastoral life of his ancestors, recently the artist has taken a special interest in his own spin on equine art. This new direction, which juxtaposes classical equine art with those tribal and pastoral influences of his native Kenya, includes both two-dimensional and three-dimensional works, many of which will be on display in a solo exhibition at the Hunt Morgan House during Gallery Hop on July 21 and available to purchase during a silent auction during a fundraiser for Blue Grass Trust on July 22.

From a large hunk of clay arched in the shape of a horse’s head, to a wood sculpture of a small horse casually looking back at a human skull, to large sheets of tar roofing paper featuring colorful pastel sketches of horses, Tarus’ current experimentation in equine art spills throughout his backyard, where many of his works are from recycled or reclaimed materials.

“This piece [uses reclaimed] old wood from

horse farms,” said Tarus, pointing at a large, intricate sculpture that has been pieced together like a puzzle. “I’m wanting to take it back again to where it originally was, to its initial meaning.”

With his own backyard and workspace resembling a sculpture garden, Tarus is particularly interested in creating public art, so his pieces – even the 2-D pastel pieces – are designed to be weathered and placed outdoors. Sometimes that means he has to work backward.

“It’s not just a matter of building and sculpting it, but also moving it,” Tarus said of the reclaimed wood sculpture. “I have to be able to take it apart and rebuild it on site, so in working on it I’m thinking backward.”

The artist says it is important for him to work on his art daily to keep the momentum of progress going.

“It’s not really defined, but every day I have to do something regardless of whatever I’ve been doing the whole day,” says Tarus.

“Without that, it drives me insane. And when I don’t do something the first day, the second

day, the third day, it will take another week – it might take a month or two months before I go back to working on it again, and that’s a risk for me.

“I came to discover that however useless or meaningless a thing you think you’re working on, it’s always built upon a process or a subject,” he continued. “How you think of it as stupid or not constructive, or you may be like ‘why am I even doing this’ – that’s when actually it comes and gets to be something more than what you even thought. It’s because you kept doing it.” cc

Observations

A Medal for Dependability

F

BY HARRIETT ROSE or nearly 20 years – since June 1999 – my column has appeared in Chevy Chaser Magazine, under various headings and various topics. To say I have been thrilled for the opportunity to say my piece would be one of the great understatements of my life – I’ve been so thrilled, in fact, that I have missed only two or three in all this time. Last month, bronchitis, age and general malaise laid me low, and the column was a casualty.

Oh well, I thought – maybe it is time to hang it up anyway! There have consistently been a few readers who have taken the time to let me know their reactions, but only a few, and I expected them to miss me.

To my surprise, everywhere I went, people told me they had looked everywhere for my column and were disappointed not to find it! Such comments were usually followed by, “That’s the first thing I read!”

“Now that I know people care: I think the world is going to hell in a handcart, and I’ll continue to keep you informed when there is anything we can do about it!”

Thank you so much!!! What a boost to my ego, that people still care what this old lady thinks. I am aware that hearing, sight and good locomotion have left me, in part, and consider myself fortunate that I can still think – I just wasn’t sure anybody cared what it is I think!

Drink of the Month

SUMMER SANGRIA

RECIPE AND PHOTO

BY THERESA STANLEY

Steamy summers in Kentucky call for chilled drinks by the pitcher. Festive and simple to make, sangria is a great drink to share a pitcher with guests – or to keep in the fridge for yourself.

Classic Sangria calls for red wine and brandy, but the flavor combinations are endless – we lighten up in this recipe with white wine and sub in Kentucky’s brandy, bourbon.

With an elevated rye profile, Four Roses Yellow Label is a perfect complement in this sangria, taking the edge off the sweetness. The beauty of this recipe is that seasonal, local fruit can be used. Pick up some extra Kentucky fruit at the Farmers’ Market to freeze and enjoy a taste of summer during the cooler months. Cheers!

Ingredients: • One bottle (750ml) white wine (Chardonnay or Pinot Grigio) • 1/2 cup Four Roses Yellow Label bourbon • 1/4 cup orange liqueur • 1 peach, halved, pitted and cut into small wedges • 1 orange, halved and cut into thin slices • 1 pint blackberries • 1 lime, thinly sliced rounds • Club soda, splash • Mint leaves for garnish Method: Cut all fruits and add to a large pitcher. Lightly muddle to release the oils from the fruit. Add wine, orange liqueur and bourbon. Cover sangria and place in refrigerator to chill four hours; overnight is best.

When ready to serve, add ice to glass, fill with sangria and a few slices of marinated fruit, then top with a splash of club soda and mint. Recipe makes one pitcher; serves four. cc

NO WAY!

PHOTO BY THERESA STANLEY

With corn, citrus and fruit all caramelized on the grill to accentuate their essence, this zesty recipe features an explosion of summer flavors.

YES WAY! IT’S MADE with ORGANIC INGREDIENTs at this cute bakery.

Grilled Corn Begin removing both ends of the corn husk. Cut enough off the base that the remaining husk can be removed halfway through grilling. Place corn (with husk) onto a heated grill, and steam in husk for five to six minutes, rolling the corn evenly on all sides. When the husk begins to dry out and pull away, use tongs to remove the outer husk. When the husk is removed, let the fine hairs burn away and brush the corn with safflower or pecan oil and season with salt and pepper.

The corn will begin to char; continue rolling the cob on all sides, browning or charring until desired doneness (about 10 minutes). Remove from grill and let cool until able to handle.

When corn is cooled, cut the kernels from the husk and set aside in separate bowl. Season with ½ teaspoon each of salt and pepper.

After corn is finished, place a cast iron skillet on the grill and allow five minutes to heat in preparation for the rest of the meal.

Grilled Swordfish and Watermelon Begin removing both ends of the corn husk. Cut enough off Sprinkle chilled swordfish filets with salt and pepper, and lightly brush with safflower or pecan oil. With the grill grate oiled and heated to 450, place fish on hot stainless steel or cast-iron grate. Let sear for two to three minutes to create great grill marks.

While the fish is grilling, place fresh lime flesh side down on grill surface for two minutes, until the flesh begins to caramelize. Remove and set aside.

Add cubed watermelon to medium-high heated cast iron skillet. When the watermelon cubes begin to break down and caramelize slightly, add 1/2 cup of water and let reduce slightly. When slightly reduced, add half of stick of butter; let melt and swivel together butter and watermelon juice for one minute. Add swordfish, grilled side up, into skillet. Using a spoon, begin basting the swordfish with remaining fat and liquid watermelon mixture.

Remove from heat, add charred corn kernels and fresh chopped basil, and squeeze with the grilled lime half.

Serves four. cc

EVENTS CALENDAR JULY ARTS & CULTURE EVENT LISTINGS

CONCERTS & GIGS Rooster’s Crow Album Release Show. July 1. Rooted in traditional Appalachian folk music, The Rooster’s Crow brings a unique sound to Lexington’s singer-songwriter scene. Much like the old-time ballads he heard as a child in Eastern Kentucky, front man Derek Spencer’s songs pay respect to the love and loss common to those hills and hollers. 9:30 p.m. Willie’s Locally Known, 286 Southland Drive. www.willieslocallyknown.com (859) 281-1116 Marbin. July 3. This Chicagobased instrumental rock band cites influences such as Weather Report, Snarky Puppy and Allan Holdsworth. The group started in 2007 as an improvised music duo consisting of Israeli-American guitarist Dani Rabin and Israeli saxophonist Danny Markovitch. Since 2008, the group has been based in Chicago and performing all over the United States, playing over 250 shows a year with the accompaniment of drummer Justyn Lawrence and bassist Jae Gentile. 10 p.m. The Burl, 375 Thompson Road. www. theburlky.com (859) 447-8166 Lex Brunch with Live Music.

July 2, 16 and 30. This free family-friendly daytime concert series presented by LexEffect and Lexington Community Ra-

dio takes place every other Sunday, featuring live local music of various genres, brunch by local food trucks as well as cocktails and drink specials. July performances include TBA (July 2), Twist of Fate (July 16) and The Baja Yetis (July 30). 10:30 a.m.-2 p.m. The Burl, 375 Thompson Road. www.lexbrunch.com Broncho/Billy Changer. July 12. Broncho was born when founder Ryan Lindsey was asked to create music for an early ’80s punk film. What’s evolved from those first tracks has been a steady run of success, critical accolades and two full-length albums: 2011’s “Can’t Get Past the Lips” and 2014’s “Just Enough Hip to Be Woman.” Billy Changer is the bassist for Corners, as well as an Echo Park engineer and the solo artist behind a self-titled LP that, according to him, is “part experiment, part selfexpression and part shot in the dark.” 9 p.m. Cosmic Charlie’s, 723 National Ave. www.cosmiccharlies.com (859) 333-4817 Yacht Rock Revue. July 13.

The popular Atlanta-based band Yacht Rock Revue’s sets focus on smooth and light ’70s light rock, from Hall & Oates to Michael McDonald to Linda Ronstadt, with band members clad in polyester, aviators and captains’ hats. 8 p.m. Manchester Music Hall, 899 Manchester St. (859) 230-5365

Dale Ann Bradley. July 14.

Raised in the coalfields of Appalachia, life for Dale Ann Bradley was much like her musical heroes from the same area in the Southern mountains. She has always expressed in her recordings the boundlessness of Bluegrass music and its musicians and vocalists by incorporating songs from all styles into her shows and albums. 9 p.m. Willie’s Locally Known, 286 Southland Drive. www.willieslocallyknown.com (859) 281-1116 Split Lip Rayfield/Billy Strings.

July 21. Split Lip Rayfield is a vocal and acoustic instrumental band from Wichita, Kansas.

Though they are sometimes classified as a bluegrass, alternative country or cowpunk band, their music draws on a wide array of influences. Raised in Michigan and based in Nashville, William Apostol, better known as Billy Strings, learned music from his father, who had learned it from his father, and his father before him. He’s been invited to play on stage with Del McCoury, David Grisman, Larry Keel, Sam Bush, Greensky Bluegrass, The Infamous Stringdusters, Leftover Salmon and more. 10 p.m. The Burl, 375 Thompson Road. www. theburlky.com (859) 447-8166 Chris Knight. July 21. Knight’s first album of new material in four years, “Little Victories,” is a record of blunt honesty, elegiac

truths and the raw rural poetry of an artist who’s come into his own and intends to stay. And for a performer who’s been compared over the years to Cash, Prine, Earle and Nebraska-era Springsteen, Knight now stands alone as a singer/ songwriter who has carved his own idiosyncratic sound and sensibility out of the dirt road American dream. 10 p.m.

Cosmic Charlie’s, 723 National Ave. www.cosmic-charlies.com.

(859) 333-4817 The Burl’s One-Year Anniversary Party. July 22.

Widely known for their theme song to the hit FX show “Justified,” Gangstagrass is a down-anddirty bluegrass-hip-hop project of Brooklyn-based producer Rench. They will perform with Maggie Lander, a Lexington songwriter with a soul-piercing voice and a strong, earnest songwriting style. 9:30 p.m.

Willie’s Locally Known, 286 Southland Drive. www.willieslocallyknown.com (859) 281-1116

The Atlanta-based Yacht Rock Revue will perform soft rock hits of the ‘70s on July 13 at Manchester Music Hall.
