New mystery novel by local author is set in Chevy Chase
Bill Farmer, Jr.
Kristi Farmer Lykins
F.J. Messina’s debut novel, “The Bluegrass Files: Down the Rabbit Hole,” is the first book in a multi-volume series of murder mysteries set in the Bluegrass region. The small office space above the iconic Magee’s Bakery (726 E. Main St.) acts as the setting for an all-female detective agency, with much of the plot happening in the bakery itself. Other local hot-spots featured in the novel include the Lexington Castle, Charlie Brown’s, Joe Bologna’s, Rupp Arena and Triangle Park. Messina, who has lived in Lexington for 40 years, is a life-long professional musician and editor with a doctoral degree from the University of Massachusetts. He hopes the novel, which tells the story of what novice private investigator Sonia Vitale uncovers as she surveils a small Kentucky horse farm, will share the spirit of the city and a bit of mystery with readers around the country. Copies of the Lexington-focused novel are available on Amazon.com and at local retailers. cc

STORY BY REGGIE BEEHNER PHOTOS BY ESTILL ROBINSON
T
he list of things Pete Mendel has crafted from wood is extensive: kitchen cabinets, office furniture, patio stairs, rocking chairs and even an intricately curved bathroom vanity. But a few years ago, he took up a new woodworking challenge, one that had captured his imagination as a teen and stayed with him throughout his life: guitars.
NO STRINGS ATTACHED
He waded in cautiously, assembling a few Les Paul guitars from kits and gifting them to his sons. Then he refurbished an old acoustic guitar that had lost its shape and been left for dead. With a few projects under his belt and his confidence rising, Mendel set his sights on making some instruments from scratch: a series of homemade ukuleles, which allowed him to experiment with different kinds of wood and deepen his understanding of the luthier trade.
Retired industrial designer turns over a new leaf as a “basement luthier”
IBM retiree Pete Mendel started making guitars in his basement in his Lexington neighborhood a few years ago. He was recently selected to become a member of the Kentucky Guild for Artists and Craftsmen for his high-quality work. PHOTOS BY ESTILL ROBINSON
“Honestly, I figured I was going to mess them up,” said Mendel, 64, a former industrial designer for Lexmark and IBM. “But I didn’t, and they turned out really, really well.” And just like that, Mendel’s retirement plans faded, replaced by a new idea: He would start his own handcrafted guitar company. That company, Mendel Guitars, is still in its infancy. Mendel is the company’s only employee, and his factory is his basement woodshop. Aside from the ukuleles, his product line consists of five acoustic guitars that are still months away from being stringed and ready to play.

But that’s OK for Mendel, who said that by the time he finally gets around to selling his first instruments, he’d be lucky to clear even minimum wage given the countless hours he’s invested. Recently selected to become a member of the Kentucky Guild of Artists and Craftsmen for his highly detailed luthier work, Mendel is more interested in the non-monetary rewards that come with the work, anyway.

“I’m not going to become wealthy doing this,” he said with a laugh. “But I’m having a blast.” Mendel, who grew up in Cincinnati, said he’s been building things ever since he was a boy. His father was an architect and a “pretty handy guy,” and Mendel found himself taking scraps of wood from his dad’s bin to build furniture and whatever else inspired him.

His first stab at a homemade guitar – a 12-string, which he began when he was teenager – took a few years to fully assemble. He finished it while he was studying industrial design at the University of Cincinnati. “It was kind of a failure,” Mendel said. “But this was all before the internet. So, for the time, it was pretty amazing that I got it done, and that it came out at all.” In college, he worked closely with a few professors, one who made furniture and another who made harpsichords. The pair helped him develop as a craftsman. After graduation, Mendel took a job with IBM in Minnesota in the late 1970s, designing computer and typewriter components, and ultimately transferred with the company to Lexington. Whenever he and his wife, a graphic designer, wanted something for the house but couldn’t find exactly what they were after, Mendel retreated to his basement shop to make it himself. He built a suite of office furniture, rocking chairs for his sons and an assortment of other things along the way.

Instruments, however, are “a whole different animal,” Mendel, a lifelong guitarist who has played in a handful of different coffeehouse and church bands, acknowledges. Over the years, Mendel became friends with a few Lexington guitarists who likewise were gifted luthiers: Lee Toliver, Rhea Umberger and Duffy Robertson. Under their tutelage, he rekindled his interest in instrument building, and he credits them for much of his knowledge about the craft. These days, he usually spends 40 hours or more each week in his shop working on his instruments. It’s a process, he says, that begins – and ends – with the wood. “The wood really is everything,” Mendel said. “It’s the speaker. Building an instrument is all about sound and sound transmission.” For his instruments, he draws from a variety of woods – mahogany, rosewood, spruce, cedar, maple and a host of other exotics – and is always searching for those that are “quarter-sawn,” with the grain running perpendicular to the cut. This particular cut increases the wood’s strength and also, unfortunately, its cost. A one-inch board of the highest quality can easily run a few hundred dollars or more, Mendel said.
Mendel spends an average of 40 hours a week in his workshop, building new guitars and ukuleles and restoring vintage beauties. PHOTOS BY ESTILL ROBINSON
From there, the delicate craftsmanship begins. He cuts a board into several thinner pieces, which are further split into mirrored pieces (called “bookmatching”) for the guitar’s front and back. To shape the wood, he softens it by boiling it in a kettle over a turkey fryer. Then he wraps the wood in dampened kraft paper and bends it around a hot iron, getting the rudimentary shape he’s after. Finally, to preserve the wood’s curves, he clamps the pieces into molds to dry. “A lot of this I’ve learned through trial and error,” he said. Mendel also cuts his own fretboards and fashions his own saddles and nuts (from cow bone) to ensure the best intonation and resonation possible. “It can’t just look good,” Mendel said. “It also must sound good and play right.” Then comes his least favorite part: endless rounds of sanding. “I do hate all the sanding,” he said. “But that’s something you have to do a lot of.” Finally, he finishes with eight coats
of lacquer before the final sanding and buffing process, which gives the instrument its translucent sheen. Still, all the painstaking hours are worth it once the instrument is stringed and tuned for that first play, he said. “That’s the best part, when it finally comes to life,” Mendel said. “And until then, you don’t really know if it’s good or not.” The feedback Mendel’s received from his luthier friends, he said, has been encouraging. His instruments not only play easily, they also sound great, he said. Now, he said, the next step is to figure out how to market his new business. He hopes to soon be able to sell his instruments directly through his website, mendelguitars.com, and maybe through the site reverb.com, which is a sort of eBay for instruments. But he adds that he’s in no hurry to make a name for himself right away. “I’m enjoying my free time and my freedom,” he said. “But then again, this is what I love doing. I don’t really look at it as a job.” cc

CELEBRATING THE CREATIVES
New local initiative fosters cross-cultural experiences and understanding through the lenses of art, music and hospitality STORY BY MICHELLE AIELLO PHOTOS BY RYAN K. MORRIS
W
hen Connie Milligan met Lee Carroll, there was instant chemistry. She was hosting a party at her home, and Lee was in the band she’d hired to play. Having both ended long-term relationships, they knew what they wanted out of life. That happened to be the same thing: an existence devoted to travel, music, art and entertaining. And today, the couple is dedicating much of
their spare time and energy into a new initiative that marries all those passions, while also enriching the lives of others. Called Green Room Exchange, the project is designed to bring musicians, artists and educators from other cultures to Lexington to perform locally and work with local talent. Operated as a non-profit organization under the umbrella of LexArts, the program sprang from the couple’s experiences while traveling. During their travels – which have included Italy, Ghana, Cuba, Mexico, Amsterdam, Portugal, and Belgium – Lee and Connie always
try and connect with the artistic community in each locale. They often sing the praises of Kentucky while overseas and have subsequently convinced several people they’ve met abroad to visit the Bluegrass State. “Since Lee is a musician, we always see live music when we travel, and I love art, so I make friends with the tour guide or the interpreter or the artist,” Connie said. “Between the two us, we draw people in.” “One of our dreams was to see the world, but we wanted to see it through the eyes of the people who lived there and not of a tourist,” she added.

THE UNHEARD OF,
PASSING OUR
SAVINGS PHOTOS BY RYAN K. MORRIS
A recent party at Lee and Connie’s Preston Avenue home was designed to help raise awareness and money for the initiative, with live music, a silent auction and other activities.
Long before starting the initiative, the couple hosted lively parties with live music in a large room in their Kenwick home – which happens to be painted green. It became an important part of their lives. When they thought about taking their desire to integrate art and music from other cultures into their lives and community, they decided that the name “Green Room” spoke to what they want to create. Aside from being an offstage hospitality area for musicians, where artists often share experiences, the “green room” suggests, “a cultural exchange between the people here and people from other countries.” For several years now, Lee and Connie have welcomed professor Gideon Alorwoyie, a renowned master percussionist and educator from Ghana, along with his group Afrikania to Lexington, hosting a series of local events that have ranged from drum and dance workshops at the Living Arts and Science Center to performances at local venues featuring Afrikania and Lee Carroll’s Afro-funk All-Stars – an assemblage of local musicians such as Tripp Bratton, Willie Eames and David Farris, along with musicians from New York City and Ghana. Carroll and Milligan have formed a close friendship with Alorwoyie over the past six years and have hosted him and his band at their home (and the homes of their neighbors) several times.

“He speaks limited English, but his knowledge of music is extraordinary,” said Milligan. “After we met him, we learned that his mother had recorded 17 albums and is considered the voice of Cuba.” On Sept. 14, the Laugarts will perform on the main stage at Lexington’s Latino Festival, accompanied by esteemed Lexington percussionist Tripp Bratton. On the following night, a special collaboration with Origins Jazz Series and the Lexington Chamber Orchestra will present the Laugarts onstage at Tee Dee’s Lounge, as a kickoff event for the Origins Jazz Series’ second season. Later this month, Lee and Connie will host what they are billing as a “Cuba Intensive” – and the official launch of the Green Room Exchange – at their Preston Avenue home. After visiting Cuba on a university-sponsored trip earlier this year, the couple will welcome their interpreter from that trip, Alberto Gonzales Rivera, to Lexington, offering the opportunity for guests to learn about Cuba from his vantage.
“One of our dreams was to see the world, but we wanted to see it through the eyes of the people who lived there and not of a tourist.” CONNIE MILLIGAN

In addition to bringing artists to Lexington and sponsoring concerts, lectures, and other creative events, the couple is also working to achieve the next phase of their project – documenting the process. They are working with local videographers, photographers and sound engineers to record, as they put it, “the spirit and creative expansion that occurs with crosscultural exchange.” Additional goals include creating a physical recording with photography and sending local artists abroad to study the music, arts and cultures of other countries.

Cuban singer Xiomara Laugart and her son, pianist Axel Laugart (both pictured at right), will perform two shows in Lexington in September. The shows are partnerships between the Green Room Exchange and Latino Fest (Sept. 14) and Origins Jazz Series (Sept. 15).
“We do this because we love it, but we realized that if we wanted to do this on a larger, more meaningful scale, that we can’t do it by ourselves, and that’s what drove this,” Lee said. One thing that has stuck with the couple while traveling to other countries, particularly rural cultures, is seeing how people really depend on one another. “When we go to rural villages, we see the integrity and dignity with which the people live, often without much in the way of resources or education,” said Connie. “We have been humbled everywhere we go, and part of our intention is to highlight the beauty of these cultures, to lift them up and to showcase how we are more similar than we are different.” cc

Ralph Eugene Meatyard: Stages for Being. Sept. 8-Dec. 9. Lexington photographer Ralph Eugene Meatyard (1925-1972) made his living as an optician while creating enigmatic photographs of friends and family members posed in abandoned places, often wearing masks or enacting symbolic gestures.

Among these are the collaborative aspect of using family members and friends as models or “actors”; seeking out and utilizing architectural and natural settings for their stage-like potential; and his distinct combination of reality and dream-like and surreal conditions.

LITERATURE & FILM The Rosa Goddard International Film Festival Wednesdays, Sept. 12-26 All screenings take place at 7:15 p.m. at The Kentucky Theatre, 214 E. Main St.
This annual celebration of international cinema classics and contemporary films is curated by local bookstore SQecial Media. “La Notte.” Sept. 12. Isolation is a popular contemporary topic, and director Michelangelo Antonioni’s 1961 film about longing for connection is possibly more relevant now than at the time of its release. Starring Jeanne Moreau, Marcello Mastroianni and Antonioni’s muse, Monica Vitti, this film takes place over the course of a day and night in Milan, Italy, filled with jazz, smoldering encounters, disillusionment and modern architecture. “The Double Life of Veronique.” Sept. 19. Where “La Notte” presents a desperate search for connection, Krzysztof Kieślowski’s “The Double Life of Véronique” (1991) seems to suggest that connection is everywhere. Two women, Weronika and Véronique (both played by the incredible Irène Jacob), unknown to each other, lead a very literal double life, with a nod to the collective unconscious. “Ida.” Sept. 26. A young nun and her aunt (Agata Trzebokowska and Agneta Kulesza) set out to unravel a family mystery in 1960s Poland in the aftermath of World War II. While made in 2013, director Paweł’s film – filmed in black-and-white in now uncommon 4:3 aspect ratio – feels like a long-lost classic of Polish new wave cinema.

BRIDGING the GAP
New non-profit works to serve ancillary needs for first-generation female college students in central Kentucky
PHOTO BY CLARY ESTES
Christine Herren co-founded the new non-profit organization First Generation Women Achievers of the Bluegrass along with her mother, Susan Herren (not pictured).
STORY AND PHOTO BY CLARY ESTES
W
hen blazing a trail to their academic goals, students who are in the first generation of their families to attend college tend to face myriad financial, academic and social challenges – many of which are largely unseen to students who come from a family of college graduates. The path for first-generation college students is often tentative, and just the slightest tip of the financial scales can dictate whether they are able to stay in school. That’s where First Generation Women Achievers of the Bluegrass – a new non-profit founded with the mission to empower firstgeneration female college students in central Kentucky – steps in. Conceived by Christine Herren and her mother, Susan Herren, the new organization is working diligently to balance the scales in the favor of at least a handful of young women in Kentucky who are among the first generation of their families to attend college. “If we can help [a student] save a thousand dollars, that’s terrific,” said Susan, adding that a small stipend can often make the crucial difference for a first-generation student being able to remain in school. Geared toward first-generation female students who are currently enrolled at University of Kentucky, Transylvania University or Bluegrass Community and Technical College, the organization focuses on supporting its recipients through financial assistance programs and mentoring opportunities/programs.

The idea for the organization came about when Christine was in the throes of her own higher education, in a master’s program at the University of Kentucky with a focus on community leadership development. With a thesis that focused on UK’s Robinson Scholars and First Scholars programs – two University of Kentucky-based initiatives designed to provide aid for first-generation students – she spent much of her time interviewing and mentoring women who were in first generation of their families to get a degree. “I came to the realization that they have a hard time [financially] – that it’s a struggle,” Christine said, adding that she repeatedly encountered women whose parents wanted to support them but who didn’t have the means to help financially. She encountered students who were struggling to balance full-time jobs with a full class load; students who had qualified to take the LSAT but who couldn’t afford the test fees; students who were sending all their extra dollars back home to support their families; students who were sacrificing meals in order to pay for textbooks.

She decided she wanted to help find a way to help fill that gap. The nonprofit is working to offer two first-generation female college students each semester a $500 stipend, with the goal of starting the funding in April 2019. The stipend will help cover the ancillary – and often unexpected – costs of college education, such as textbooks, meal cards and transportation, and could even help grantees participate in extracurricular activities they otherwise could not afford. Beyond those stipends, however, the organization offers its recipients a network of mentors to help them along during (and, arguably, after) their time at college. Mentorship focus will range from financial literacy and social media development to networking and job-hunting, among other practical topics that aren’t always covered in everyday academic curricula. But more importantly, the program will give each of its recipients a strong emotional and professional support system as they navigate their new academic landscape and move into the workforce. Like many families, the Herrens have a personal connection to the financial struggles that can hinder higher education and the ways education can empower a family. Susan explains that her grandmothers both desperately wanted a college education but didn’t have enough money to graduate. Both of Christine’s grandmothers were first-generation college students who went on to become professional educators, and she credits them with building the platform and foundation for her family to grow and prosper. In its first year, First Generation Women Achievers of the Bluegrass has a volunteer board of 11 academic and working professionals, as well as an advisory panel of four. While the organization has raised $10,000 to kickstart the program, it is seeking to expand its programing, recipients and networks, opening a new application cycle in January 2019. Those interested in supporting the program First Generation Women Achievers of the Bluegrass can email firstgenwomenbg@ gmail.com, or find more information at the organization’s Facebook page (www.facebook.com/FGWAB/) cc

n Richmond Road, atop a gently sloping hill, sits a charming 1920’s Dutch Colonial that is home to Debbie Long and her beloved dog, Lucille. Many know Long as the owner of one of Lexington’s most celebrated and longestrunning restaurants, Dudley’s on Short. While her home is a haven where she can unwind after a hectic day, it also serves as a backdrop for her colorful, eclectic style. Bold patterns, period details and a colorful art collection make the home both charming and inviting – much like Long herself. Over the past 20 years, the house has undergone a number of updates, including the less-than-fun maintenance that older properties often require. But she’s also made several stylish and functional changes that have added more character. One of those changes, the gorgeous sprawling garden designed by Jon Carloftis features vibrant blooms, native Kentucky grasses, boxwoods, attractive ground coverings and a large canopy of wisteria over the garage. A curved wooden side door with a circular window allows for side-street access and adds a “hobbit house” touch. There are several seating areas dispersed beneath mossy eaves, with a tall fence providing added privacy. Despite being located on traffic-heavy Richmond Road, the home’s elevation, abundant plant life and water features create a surprisingly quiet atmosphere not often found in urban neighborhoods. Long says it takes a good deal of work to keep the garden under control, and she has a lot of help, including Carmela Sanchez Perez, who handles regular maintenance, and Carloftis, who drops by occasionally to “fluff” as she calls it.

Bold patterns, period details and a colorful art collection add to the charm and comfort of the 1920’s Dutch Colonial home on Richmond Road where Debbi Long has lived for the past two decades.
8/24/18 7:19 PM
“It’s work in progress,” said Long. “We are always changing and moving and doing, which is fun.” Long recently finished her biggest home project to date – a complete kitchen remodel. Luckily, her good friends and next-door neighbors happen to be Matthew Carter of Matthew Carter Interiors and his partner, Brent Bruner of EOP Architects. Together with Laura Dalzell of Cabinets & Designs, they reimagined Long’s farmhouse kitchen to be the ultimate entertaining space. Thankfully, they didn’t go overly grandiose – although the marble island,
gleaming white subway tile and built-in appliances and wet bar are stunning, the kitchen has an easy, livable ambiance that echoes the rest of the home. Long admits she was hesitant to change the kitchen at first, citing the cost and the fact she doesn’t entertain and cook every day. But once the project was underway, she realized it was well worth it. “It’s the best thing I’ve ever done, and it has completely opened up the house,” she said. A wall was removed during the process, expos-
ing a cozy sitting area that is now an ideal spot for cocktails and conversation. While some kitchen remodels, especially in older properties, can seem very obvious (early 20th century homes just didn’t have 500-square-foot kitchens), in Long’s space, the result is something that looks like it’s always been there. Another handy feature is the addition of a door leading from the kitchen to the garden. Now she can enjoy her morning coffee outdoors while listening to the sounds of the birds and rushing water.
Long’s neighbors, Matthew Carter (Matthew Carter Ineriors) and Brent Bruner (EOP Architects), collaborated with Laura Dalzell (Cabinets & Designs) on a recent complete remodel of Long’s farmhouse kitchen. The remodel removed a kitchen wall to expose a cozy adjacent sitting room (far left) and also made way for an exterior door leading to the garden. PHOTOS BY BRADLEY QUINN AND EMILY GIANCARLO

Long’s art collection was not chosen specifically for the space but was cultivated in the best way: from cherished experiences and memories. At every turn, art tells the story of her life. An ink drawing of the original Dudley’s done by a former server. A portrait of her old cat, Max, in charcoal. Photographs of her travels to Mexico and Cumberland Island. A particularly striking piece in the kitchen depicts an Italian villa at sunset. Long explained she went on a bicycle trip to Italy, and one of her travel companions was an architect who would often sketch the scenery while they were eating. “He would draw the scene on a cloth napkin from the restaurant and use anything that was at his disposal – ketchup, mustard, blueberry jam – to color it. Then he would go back to his hotel and touch it up with watercolors,” she said. Nearby, a framed napkin has been cut into a gorgeously ornate shape of a bird in flight. “A server at Tachibana made that, and I had to have it,” she remembered. With its bold graphic wallpaper, the adjoining dining room is a sight to behold. The wall covering plays beautifully off of original craftsman-style window and the outdoor trellis. Above the serving buffet, an ink drawing depicts a boisterous group of people enjoying food and drink with the caption, “Thanks for the dinner party, Debbie!” Long explained it was done by a friend who has since passed away who worked as a cartoonist for The New Yorker.

One of her favorite pieces of furniture in the living room is an antique display cabinet that came from the Caribbean but was designed in an English style. On the islands, which were British colonies, they didn’t have walnut or mahogany, so artisans sometimes made pieces in traditional English styles using the lighter woods available to them. Throughout the home, it quickly becomes obvious Long chooses her décor based on what it means to her, and yet it all comes together beautifully. She admits while she enjoys entertaining, her social engagements often revolve around the busy and sometimes unpredictable schedule of a restaurateur. Long, like anyone in the service industry, knows when the rest of the city is playing – Keeneland seasons, holidays, warm weather – she is working. But, she says, inviting friends for a casual Sunday dinner or outdoor cocktails is often a priority when free time presents itself. She is lucky to have a group of neighbors with whom she’s developed close relationships over the years. “Coming here just lets me relax,” she said. “In the winter I can build a fire and sit in the living room, and in the summer, I’m always outside. In my industry, there is a lot of drama, so when I come home, it’s just Lucille and me. It’s quiet and I can recharge.” cc
Featuring native Kentucky groundcover, boxwoods, hostas and several intimate seating areas, the luscious backyard gardens designed by Jon Carloftis are a true highlight of Long’s Richmond Road abode – a place fit for entertaining guests or where she and her beloved, dog, Lucille can unwind and relax.

Bourbon & Brie
RECIPE AND PHOTO BY THERESA STANLEY
This recipe checks all the entertaining boxes, elevating the party staple “warm brie” by folding in bourbon – just in time for National Bourbon Heritage Month. Headed to a University of Kentucky game to tailgate? Make this winner on-site by placing a cast iron skillet on the grill. (Remember to use a thick oven mitt and towels when serving in cast iron; it holds heat — perfect for keeping the bourbon and brie warm for serving guests.) Ingredients • 1 lb.(ish) double creme brie cheese wheel • 1 ½ cups packed light-brown sugar • ¾ cup bourbon • 1 cup chopped walnuts • Accoutrements of choice – sliced apples, pears, crackers, crostini, etc. Method Heat oven to 350 degrees. Combine brown sugar and bourbon in a small bowl, stir and set aside. Cut the white rind off the top of brie. Place wheel in cast iron skillet or a dish that can also be used for serving. Pour bourbon and brown sugar mixture on top of cheese. Sprinkle walnuts over top. Place dish in oven and heat cheese five to seven minutes, until brie starts to ooze (but not melt) and sauce is bubbly. Serve immediately with accoutrements. cc

CHEVY CHASER’S DRINK OF THE MONTH
The Say Goodbye to Summer
Sage Cocktail
RECIPE AND PHOTO BY THERESA STANLEY
Fall is slowly approaching, and this aptly titled cocktail is a great way to smooth the transition. This complex thirst quencher pairs bourbon with freshly squeezed lemon juice, sage accents and egg white to provide the perfect drink to have in-hand while sitting on your porch, watching the sun set on summer. Pro tip: Use the better bourbon on this cocktail; save the younger bourbon for cooked applications. Recipe makes one great cocktail. Ingredients • 2 oz. bourbon • 2 oz. lemon juice, fresh squeezed • 1 egg, whites only • ½ oz. sage simple syrup • 2 dashes, bitters • 1 sage leaf, garnish Method Place champagne coupe in freezer to chill – a cold glass and a good shake are essential to holding the lovely froth while sipping on this drink. In a shaker, add egg whites. Shake vigorously for 20 seconds. Add ice to shaker until three-quarters full. Add bourbon, lemon juice, syrup and bitters. Shake vigorously for 20 seconds. Pour through shaker strainer into chilled champagne coupe. To add another layer of depth, garnish the cocktail with a singed sage leaf and place on top of cocktail. Sage Simple Syrup • 1 cup raw sugar • 1 cup water • 6 sage leaves, coarsely chopped • 2 tablespoons ginger, coarsely chopped Combine ingredients in small saucepan. Bring to boil, stirring to dissolve sugar. Reduce heat to low and simmer for two minutes. Remove from heat and let cool. Strain into an airtight glass container. Store in refrigerator for up to six weeks. cc

ART&EXHIBITS Melissa Carter: New Masters. On display through Oct. 13. In this exhibit, Melissa Carter presents vibrant large-scale paintings that playfully revise the art historical canon and the linked notion of the male artist as genius. Carter’s figurative and abstract pieces reference the work of famed men, from Henri Rousseau and Henri Matisse, to Mark Rothko and Bill Cosby, employing savvy visual cues to examine the gendered imbalances that underlie their legacies. Gallery hours: 11 a.m. - 6 p.m., Wed.-Sat., and by appointment. Institute 193, 193 N. Limestone. www.institute193.org “Continuums.” On display until Oct. 6. This exhibit features paintings by Marco Logsdon paired with Michael Wayne photography. Each artist creates a continuum by catching a moment in time in succession or by the continuance of form. Artist reception will take place Sept. 21 from 5-8 p.m. with Gallery Hop. Gallery hours: Tues.-Fri., noon-5 p.m.; Sat., 1-4 p.m. and by appointment. M.S. Rezny Gallery, 903 Manchester St. www.msrenzy.com (859)-252-4647 “OFF-SPRING: New Generations.” On display until June 2019. Employing sculpture, painting, photography and video, this exhibition explores the daily rituals and communal rites that continue to shape identity and define the politics of family and society, transforming iconic imagery to generate the power of new potential and change. The exhibition covers themes ranging from the constraints of marriage and the conventions and aesthetics of faith-based traditions, to the domestic ritual of the family portrait and the gender and identity issues entangled in legacy. 21c Museum Hotel, 167 W.

THEATER&PERFORMANCE Studio Players: “Ripcord.” Sept. 13-16, 21-23, & 28-30. A sunny room on an upper floor is prime real estate in the Bristol Place Senior Living Facility, so when the cantankerous Abby is forced to share her quarters with the annoyingly cheerful Marilyn, she has no choice but to devise a plan to get Marilyn to leave. A seemingly harmless bet between the women quickly escalates into a wacky game of one-upmanship. Doors open at 7:30 p.m. and show begins at 8 p.m. Thurs.-Sat.; doors open at 2 p.m. and show begins at 2:30 p.m. on Sundays. Carriage House Theater, 154 W. Bell Court. www. studioplayers.org (859) 225-0370 Everything is Terrible: The Great Satan. Sept. 10. Over the past decade, this collective has claimed to reinterpret our shared memory through creating thousands of web videos from found footage and harboring a particular obsession with collecting “Jerry Maguire” VHS tapes. The crew takes their show on the road with this performance art, recontextualizing more than 2,000 “Satanic panic, religious kook and D-horror VHS tapes” to create a narrative feature that reminds us all “who we are, why we are here and what we should be doing with our paltry time on this dumb planet.“ 7 p.m. 21c Museum Hotel, 167 W. Main St. www.21cmuseumhotels.com/lexington (859) 899-6800 Three Dog Night. Sept. 8. This iconic American rock band is known for their songs “Mama Told Me (Not To Come),” “Joy to the World,” “Black and White,” “Shambala” and “One.” 7:30 p.m. EKU Center for the Arts, 1 Hall Drive, Richmond. www. ekucenter.com (859) 622-7294 Concerts at the Caste: Darrell Scott. Sept. 20. This live music series taking place at the Kentucky Castle is presented by the folks behind the Troubadour Concert Series. Primarily known for his song “Harlan,” roots and bluegrass musician Darrell Scott became one of the more successful country songwriters of the late ’90s and early 2000s, placing songs with the biggest names in country music, including Garth Brooks, the Dixie Chicks, Tim McGraw, Faith Hill and many others. Doors at 6 p.m., show at 7:30 p.m. Kentucky Castle, 230 Pisgah Pike, Versailles. www.thekentuckycastle.com (859) 256-0322 Dwight Yoakam. Sept. 30. Singer/songwriter and Kentucky native Dwight Yoakam has sold more than 25 million albums worldwide, been nominated for 21 Grammy Awards and won several of those; but his fans love him for his downhome, laid-back “urban cowboy” vibe and for his hip breed of country music that is as at home in punk clubs as it is in honky tonks. 7:30 p.m. EKU Center for the Arts, 1 Hall Drive, Richmond. www.ekucenter.com (859) 622-7294
Dwight Yoakam will perform Sept. 30 at the EKU Center for the Arts.
