CIVIC CONNECTIONS A monthly feature authored by a rotating cast of Lexington councilmembers and other civic-minded professionals

BY LIZ SHEEHAN, 5TH DISTRICT COUNCILMEMBER

hen an issue comes before council, sometimes even the most wellinformed folks have trouble following it through the system. This can make it particularly hard to know how and when to engage with council on the issues that are important to you. We often hear frustrations from residents who feel left out of the process or feel surprised by the seemingly rapid passage of certain ordinances. As your elected officials, we want to help clarify the processes we follow and encourage your engagement with your government. In this column, I’ll briefly break down the committee process, and future columns will provide more details about each of our committees. Arguably, the most opportune time to advocate for amendments or passage, or to raise your concerns about an issue is while the item is working its way through a committee. When a councilmember brings forward an issue (or “item”) for consideration, it is assigned to one of the four standing committees: General Government & Social Services; Planning & Public Safety; Environmental Quality & Public Works; and Budget, Finance & Economic Development (the city compiles information about all committees online at www.lexingtonky.gov/index.php/council-committees). The chairperson of each committee is responsible for setting the agenda for any given meeting. Government staff typically work with councilmembers to conduct research and prepare presentations for the committee to inform the discussion. Committee members discuss, amend and decide whether to “vote out” the item to the full council for consideration. The item is then “reported out” during a Tuesday work session of the full council by the committee chair. Council then determines if they will move the item forward by putting it on a Thursday council meeting schedule or keep the item in committee for further work. Once put on the schedule for a full council meeting, every item will receive two separate readings and then a final vote. Typically, these readings will happen at two separate meetings; however, exceptions can be made. Our friends at CivicLex (www.civiclex.org) have also begun hosting committee watch parties at the University of Kentucky, and the organization sends out regular updates through its e-newsletter. Being empowered to engage on an issue you care about, and advocate for your position while it is being crafted, can hopefully further encourage you to feel a part of the legislative process. Be sure to check future editions of Civic Connections for more detailed overviews of each standing committee. ■

CRAVE WORTHY LOCAL CULINARY NEWS TO USE BY SHANNON CLINTON

his fall, you can channel all things cozy at a new Italian bakery, doughnut shop and a couple of recently opened cafés.

Kenwick Table coffee shop and wine bar has opened in Lexington’s Kenwick neighborhood at 201 Owsley Ave., a former Thriftway Food Mart site. General manager Savannah Cox said the initial inspiration for the business came when Kenwick resident and owner Rett McGoodwin was skiing in Breckenridge, Colorado, several years ago. “[He] visited a breakfast joint that had several people lined up to sit at a community table,” she said. “Intrigued, he learned the restaurant incentivized its patrons to sit at this table, allowing for a myriad of people to meet and socialize from all over the world.” During renovations, McGoodwin used the building’s original wood rafters to create a similar community table. There, people can enjoy a variety of coffees, locally made pastries and, eventually, wine and beer. Kenwick Table officially opened Sept. 24. Everybody Eats Café has opened at 417 Georgetown St., with comfort-focused entrees that include roast potatoes and carrots, oxtail and gravy and beef ribs. Additional offerings include spaghetti, lasagna, baked chicken, burgers, sides and a kids’ menu. Tratti di Busalacchi (pronounced Boosuh-la-key), known as Busalacchi Treats for short, has joined the Julietta Market inside Greyline Station. Marketing representative Morgan Busalacchi, who’s married to baker, owner and San Diego native Lorenzo Busalacchi, said the treats served hail from a collection of traditional Italian family-made cookies with a modern twist. Seven different varieties will be available weekly. Custom orders for delivery and pickup are available. Fiddletree Kitchen and Bar is open in the new boutique hotel Elwood Hotel & Suites at 444 Parkway Drive just off Harrodsburg Road. According to its website, Fiddletree has “the artisan carefree feel of an all-day café, reflecting a comfortable and creative place where people gather to meet, eat, talk and relax.”

Kenwick Table, a new neighborhood cafè and bar, opened in late September on Owsley Avenue.

The first Kentucky franchise location of Evansville, Indiana-based Parlor Doughnuts is opening in the former Tandoor Express restaurant at 630 Euclid Ave. Local franchisee Nathan Schaffner said the planned opening is December or early 2022. The shop will offer original layered craft doughnuts in a variety of flavors, specialty coffee, gluten- and keto-friendly products and artisanal breakfasts. Pearl’s Pizza is now a part of Delivery Coop, the service announced in mid-August on social media. “Our members have been asking to add a pizza restaurant since we started, and we are very excited about this partnership!” the post said. Starting as a food truck, Porterhouse BBQ opened in late August in Julietta Market, and Habibi’s Sweets & Pastries announced in late August it would be moving from its Nicholasville Road location to the market. Opening in Habibi’s’ former space is a second location of Mexican ice cream shop Panchitos Ice Cream. Lexington fixture Magee’s Bakery on Main Street has rebranded as Magee’s Baking Co. Romesh Sinclair, marketing director with Sinclair Group, LLC, detailed the rationale behind the rebranding saying that, as the bakery industry has evolved, the company is changing with the times while preserving artisanal baking traditions with items that include house-made biscuits, New Yorkstyle hand-rolled, boiled bagels, an 81-layer hand-rolled croissant that takes two days to complete, and scratch-made doughnuts, pies and breads. Sinclair said the official launch of the baking company and related festivities will be held during the fall racing season and teased that new locations may also be on the horizon.

The Creole Café is now open at 833 Georgetown St., Ste 110. The restaurant’s menu has a variety of seafood alfredo pastas, po’ boys, lobster rolls, lobster melts, Creole Cajun boil varieties and more. The folks at Elixir Downtown are partnering with Bazaar Eatery’s culinary minds for a new menu that launched in mid-August, according to an announcement from Bazaar Eatery. There’s a weekend brunch menu and a late-night menu that includes nachos, wings and a Shogun teriyaki chicken taco. Bazaar Eatery was formerly located at Ethereal Public House, but in May announced its departure. With the slogan, “Come Eat, Come Drink, Come Mingle,” a new speakeasy-style bar called Pour Decisions has opened at 233 E. Main St. The cocktail bar Whiskey Bear, an original tenant of The Summit Food Hall, announced that it will be moving to a new location in the Beaumont neighborhood and adding a fast-casual and family-friendly pizzeria, Addies Stone-Fired Pizza, as a sister concept. The Summit location will close on Oct. 3, and the new location is slated to open in early 2022. Thanking staff, loyal patrons and the community for their support, Cha Tamura with Tomo Lexington announced on the restaurant’s Facebook page in September the restaurant would close after more than 20 years in business in the Chevy Chase area. Another fixture in the culinary community, the downtown restaurant and craft cocktail bar West Main Crafting announced in September it would be closing permanently as well. ■ Have a food- or beverage-related update to share with readers?

FALL GETAWAYS As temperatures dip and leaves begin to change color, the onset of fall can be a welcome interruption to the hot and hazy days of summer – but with the return to school, and the pressure of the impending holiday season, it can also be a time of added stress. Taking a weekend to get away from it all, in between football games, after-school activities and parentteacher meetings, can be a great way to reset and regroup. Fortunately, the region boasts plenty of interesting places to go and things to see within just a few hours’ drive – we’ve outlined a handful of ideas for you! BY LIZ CAREY For any of these options, calling ahead to doublecheck any COVID-19 requirements regarding masks, social distancing and vaccine requirements is always a good idea.

MAMMOTH CAVE, CAVE CITY AND PARK CITY One of Kentucky’s oldest tourist sites, Mammoth Cave is home to not only a fascinating and extensive cave system but also to plenty of above-ground hiking, horseback riding, kayaking and more. With 400 miles of explored caves and an estimated 600 miles left to be discovered, the park boasts the longest known cave system in the world, according to the National Park Service. Ranging from easy to strenuous, tours of the cave system delve into the area’s geologic and natural history, with several tour options featuring visits to unique underground water features within the cave system. (Advance registration for tours is recommended.) After exploring the caves, families may want to visit the Spelunker’s Café and Ice Cream Parlor, located inside the Lodge at Mammoth Cave. Other stops in the area that offer fun for a variety of ages include Froggett’s Guntown Mountain, an amusement area featuring live action Wild West shootouts, a haunted house, escape rooms and a new billiards room, and Dinosaur World, a prehistoric playground featuring dozens of life-sized dinosaur sculptures along a path in a natural setting. Interactive exhibits, a dino-themed playground, prehistoric museum, and fun and educational activities round out the attractions at Dinosaur World.

Located less than 15 minutes from Mammoth Cave, Historic Wigwam Village No. 2 offers a unique and “outside-the-box” lodging option.

Whether you are seeking history, geology, adventure or natural wonders, Mammoth Cave, the world’s longest cave system and one of Kentucky’s six national parks, offers an array of attractions. PHOTO FURNISHED

Those looking for lodgings “outside the box” options should consider Historic Wigwam Village No. 2, a collection of 15 rooms shaped like teepees that each sleep two to four people. Located less than 15 minutes from Mammoth Cave National Park, the motel/village is recently under new management, which is working to renovate the village to bring it back to its 1937 glory. A variety of additional nearby lodging, from cabins and bed-and-breakfasts to traditional hotels and campgrounds, are outlined on the Caveland Marketing Association website (www.mammothcavefun. com/places-to-stay).

UNDERGROUND KAYAKING AT RED RIVER GORGE Located in the heart of Daniel Boone National Forest, the Red River Gorge is known internationally for its cliffs and climbing, but in recent years the region has increasingly been touting its underground features as well. The Gorge Underground and SUP Kentucky are two companies that offer boat tours of a 100-year-old abandoned and flooded limestone mine. Both companies offer tours on stand-up paddle boards as well as clear kayaks, illuminated by underwater LED lights to allow views of the wildlife swimming below; The Gorge Underground also offers the option of traditional opaque kayaks and custom-built “cave boats” that seat up to 20. Just in time for the Halloween season, The Gorge Underground also offers a Haunted Boat Tour: a custom boat and walking tour of the mine replete with zombie miners, spooky music and haunting décor designed to keep attendees on the edge of their (boat) seats. For those looking to augment their unique underground experience with a unique lodging option, Red River Gorge Cabin Rentals offers a collection of yurts – round, one-room, Mongolian tent-inspired cabins that sleep four to 10 guests, offering most of the comforts of a hotel room in a back-to-nature atmosphere. (Those booking a kayak tour through Gorge Underground get a discount.) For dinner, visitors can check out Miguel’s Pizza, which has been rated one of the best pizza places in the state, or Red River Rockhouse, an eclectic, funky American café featuring local produce on its hamburgers, spinach-and-kale salads and burritos, along with craft beers, wine and bourbon. For dessert, visitors can indulge in carrot cake or a Nutella brownie.

Underground kayaking tours at the Red River Gorge are offered by Gorge Underground (pictured above) and SUP Kentucky. Unique lodging options in the area include yurts managed by Red River Gorge Cabin Rentals, pictured at left. PHOTOS FURNISHED

A bustling epicenter featuring dozens of local culinary and retail vendors in a concentrated area blocks from Over-theRhine, Findlay Market is a great place to kick off a classic Cincinnati weekend experience. PHOTO BY CORPORATION FOR FINDLAY MARKET

CINCINNATI CULINARY & CULTURAL TOUR There’s so much to do in Cincinnati that narrowing down just a few activities for a short visit can be tough. But with its variety of culinary and shopping options, Findley Market, located in the edge of downtown Cincinnati, is a great place to start. The indoor/ outdoor culinary and retail market showcases a variety of vendors and shops offering items from gourmet herbs, spices, snacks and meats to handmade pet food, imported jewelry and accessories, and boutique clothing; several restaurants and graband-go food stalls are situated in the area as well. Just down the street, Rhinegeist Brewery offers beer tastings, table tennis and a rooftop patio, while Skeleton Root Winery offers a chic industrial setting and a cozy patio that almost makes you forget you are in the middle of a city. At the Cincinnati Art Museum, exhibits featuring art from the 1980s, as well as “Simply Brilliant: Artist-Jewelers of the 1960s and 1970s,” provide a cultural escape. The museum’s café offers a picnic lunch that visitors can pick up and enjoy along the new Art Climb, a new series of steps traversing the hill from Gilbert Avenue

to Eden Park Drive that gives visitors not only a unique view of the museum’s grounds but also up-close interactions with three outdoor sculptures along the way. (Lunches must be purchased at least 24 hours in advance.) For a luxurious stay in the heart of downtown that continues the arts exploration theme, 21c Museum Hotel blends custom furnishings and contemporary art with the hotel building’s 100year history. When it comes time for a classic Cincinnati dinner stop, many visitors opt for Montgomery Inn Boathouse on the Ohio River, or Jeff Ruby’s Precinct steakhouse, but those who are interested in Cincinnati’s German heritage might stop by Mecklenburg Gardens, located near the University of Cincinnati. Complete with a historic biergarten patio surrounded by a trellis covered in 150-year-old grapevines, Mecklenburg Gardens offers authentic German food, such as potato pancakes and wiener schnitzel, as well as contemporary originals like sauerkraut balls and Goettawurst (sausages made from Cincinnati delicacy goetta).

HOCKING HILLS STATE PARK Getting away from the noise and hustle of the city can be as easy as a 3.5-hour drive to Hocking Hills State Park in southeastern Ohio. With more than 10,000 wooded acres, Hocking Hills offers visitors hiking trails, caves, waterfalls, ziplining and other attractions. The area is home to several caves to explore, including Old Man Cave, named for the hermit who allegedly lived there for years, as well as lakes perfect for fishing, canoeing and kayaking. Cabins and hotel rooms are plentiful in the area, but some off-the-beaten-path lodging options include a vintage Airstream camper, a Conestoga wagon, a caboose and even a castle and medieval village. Ravenwood Castle in New Plymouth, Ohio, has private rooms inside the castle for rent, including Rapunzel’s Tower, a third-floor room with a king-sized bed and fireplace, and the King Arthur Suite, a two-story, two-room suite with a king-sized bed, fireplace, outdoor balcony and whirlpool for two. Other accommodations on the property include the Merchant’s Cottage, with its queen-sized bed, loft sitting room, antique brass fireplace and Jacuzzi bathtub. The castle serves dinner in the Great Hall dining area on the weekends with advance reservations and pub-style food at the more casual Raven’s Roost Pub. ■

exington historian Jonathan Coleman might not believe in ghosts – but he certainly has an affinity for Lexington’s spirits.

“The past is always making an impact – it always has relevance,” he explained. “And ghost stories – just like all myths, just like all folklore – help us think through those things as a society.” An academic historian whose career has been mainly focused on public history – history presented outside of a classroom – Coleman finds satisfaction in sharing knowledge directly with people. He currently serves as curator and assistant director of the Mary Todd Lincoln House, a position that allows him to demonstrate the relevance that the past has on the present. But for several years, he operated a local history tour business called Dr. Coleman’s Lexington History Walks, where he had a different opportunity to interact with the public on the topic of Lexington’s history. The company offered two standard tours: the Grand Tour, a walking tour through downtown looking at general history, and a second tour called Spirits, Scandals, and Sordid Secrets, which focused on those particular aspects of Lexington’s history.

“I quickly realized one [tour] was way more popular than the other,” Coleman said, laughing. Of Spirits, Scandals, and Sordid Secrets, Coleman says he had one rule when coming up with ghost stories to highlight: They couldn’t be stories he had made up – all the featured tales were existing ghost stories. And despite whether he believes in ghosts, as a historian Coleman found these stories almost always contained at least a kernel of truth.

“It’s fascinating the stuff you find, the stuff that gets forgotten,” he said. “The oldest ghost story I could find, it was at least being told in 1920… but it actually relates to a story from the 1860s and 1870s. That’s typically how these ghost stories get [passed down].”

Historian Jonathan Coleman used to run two downtown walking tours focusing on Lexington history, one called The Grand Tour and a notably more popular one called Spirits, Scandals, and Sordid Secrets.

This particular story featured the ghost of Bouviette James, a woman enslaved by the HuntMorgan family, who died in 1870 and is buried to the side of the Hunt-Morgan family plot in the Lexington Cemetery. “If you know that plot, it’s in concentric circles. They are all buried generations out. Bouviette James is buried cattywampus to that circle, and she is given a child’s headstone,” he explained, adding that the gravestone is marked ‘Bouviette James Col’ – for colored – with the epitaph of ‘Ever Faithful.’ “There are other small headstones in that plot that belong to infants or young children in the Hunt-Morgan family who had died,” he added, “but Bouviette James was actually an adult.” Hunt-Morgan relative Basil Duke wrote about Bouviette James in the magazine Southern Bivouac, a publication now noted for having helped mythologize the Confederacy. “Basil is the one who writes all these grandiose stories about John Hunt Morgan...but he also writes a lot of stories about Bouviette, and they are not stories that sound like a real person,” Coleman explained. “They are very much based on stereotype – the ‘we loved her, she loved us’ kind of story. This is where you get the tale of John Hunt Morgan bringing her red shoes to wear and that she wears them the rest of her life.”

PHOTOS BY JONATHAN HAMPTON

The story of Bouviette James is one of Lexington’s most famous “ghost stories.” A former enslaved woman living at Lexington’s Hunt-Morgan home, James died in 1870 but her apparition was reportedly sighted in the nursery of the children for whom she cared, for years after her death. Historian Jonathan Coleman says that the myths and legends that get passed down almost always reveal something about the society that’s telling them.

The ghost story of Bouviette James goes like this: A generation or so after she died, another branch of the Hunt-Morgan family was living in the home, and they had a very sick little boy in the nursery. They hired a nurse to keep watch over him, and deep in the night she falls asleep and wakes to the sound of humming. She sees an apparition over the cradle of the child, and when the apparition notices the nurse is now awake, she walks away and disappears. The little boy takes a turn for the worse and by morning he is out of this world. Part of the nurse’s story, when recounting to the family, was when the ghost walked away she was wearing red leather shoes. And so the family knew it was James, who had returned to make sure their boy made it safely to the other side. James was said to have continued to appear in the following years, especially in the third-floor window, where she would look out to make sure everything was all right. Coleman said this tale is probably Lexington’s most famous ghost story. “In the 1920s, when this ghost story is appearing, white Southerners are in the process of mythologizing the Civil War and certainly mythologizing the institution of slavery,” he said. “Here you have a ghost story that really plays itself into this idea of ‘we were all like one big family.’ … It’s part of the larger way that the United States is dealing with its past.”

Coleman said that historians are increasingly looking to ghost stories as a way to better understand the past. The myths and legends that get passed down almost always reveal something about the society that’s telling them, he added. “Ghost stories are actually historical artifacts in and of themselves,” he said. “Ghosts require us to remember – they are inherently a product of the past, not of the present. How societies grapple with their past, how societies grapple with their history, things that they may be inherently uncomfortable with, things they would want to change or explain away – and of course it also deals with death and dying and the other scary stuff that we as human beings have to deal with.” The Spirits, Scandals, and Sordid Secrets Tour took place weekly for close to four years and highlighted ghost stories connected to famed Lexington madam Belle Brezing, Transylvania University’s resident cadaver and former president Constantine Rafinesque, and locally known downtown mansion the Thomas January House. Also on the tour were multiple homes said to be haunted by Mary Todd Lincoln herself. Although Coleman no longer guides Dr. Coleman’s Lexington History Walks, you can visit Bouviette James in her final resting place at the Lexington Cemetery with Coleman’s most recently created tour, A House Divided: Lexington Cemetery and the Civil War. This self-guided tour, which is available via the Mary Todd Lincoln House website (mtlhouse.org) also includes stops at the Todd family plot, the Henry Clay Monument, and the National Cemetery, and can be downloaded from the Mary Todd Lincoln House’s website. When asked if he had ever had personal run-ins with any of the spirits featured on his tours, Coleman says no – he doesn’t believe in ghosts, after all. “But I do believe we are haunted,” he added with a smile. ■

Stories of Mary Todd Lincoln “haunting” certain buildings in Lexington have been passed on for years. This famous 1870 portrait by “spirit photographer” William Mumler shows the grieving widow with an apparition of her deceased husband, Abraham Lincoln, resting his hands on her shoulders in a comforting gesture. (Mumler later came under scrutiny and investigation for falsifying his images, though no one could officially debunk his process.)

Butternut Squash puree: • 1 butternut squash (approx. 3 pounds) or 2 pounds diced squash • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter For the filling: • 2 cups butternut squash puree • 1½ cup whole milk • 2 large eggs • ¾ cup light brown sugar • 1 tablespoons cornstarch • 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon • ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg • 1 teaspoon ground ginger For the filling: • 1¼ cup all-purpose flour • ¼ teaspoon salt • 1⁄8 teaspoon baking powder • 1 tablespoon sugar • 8 tablespoons unsalted butter, cold • 4-5 tablespoons water, ice cold • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract • ½ teaspoon salt

Instructions: Butternut Squash Puree: Peel the squash, slice in half and scoop out the seeds. Bake for about 30-40 minutes at 350 degrees. Once the squash is softened, place in blender or food processor and blend with the butter until smooth. Pie Filling: Add the 2 cups of butternut squash puree to a large mixing bowl. In a separate, medium-sized mixing bowl combine the brown sugar, cornstarch, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg and salt. Stir to combine. Add the eggs and vanilla extract to the butternut squash. Stir to mix. Add the sugar mixture to the butternut squash mixture. Stir to combine. Slowly add in the milk while stirring. Set aside to prepare the pie crust. Pie Crust: Heat oven to 350 degrees. Add the flour, salt, baking powder and sugar to a food processor. Pulse briefly to combine. Cut the butter into tablespoon-sized pieces and add to the dry ingredients in processor. Pulse until combined – the mixture will look like a coarse meal. Add the water, one tablespoon at a time, pulsing in between. Stop adding water when the pie dough starts to clump together. Pulse until you have a ball of dough. Spread flour onto a clean, flat work surface. Remove the dough from the processor and place in the flour. Carefully work the dough until it is a smooth ball. Flatten gently to form a disc shape. Spread flour on a rolling pin and roll the dough out into a circle that will fit into a pie dish. Carefully fold the dough over your rolling pin and lift off the counter, then place in the pie dish. Flute the edge as desired and remove any excess pie crust. Pour in the pie filling. Bake for about 75-80 minutes, until the center is firm and a knife inserted in the center comes out clean. ■

DRINK OF THE MONTH

Cidre Royale RECIPE BY TIM WRIGHT, WISE BIRD CIDER CO. PHOTO BY THERESA STANLEY

Nothing reminds us of fall more than apple season. Celebrate the season with this cocktail inspired by the classic marriage of white wine and cassis (black currant liqueur), called a kir. Mix cassis with champagne, and you get a Kir Royale. Mix cassis with hard cider and you get a Cidre Royal. At once simple and sophisticated, this cocktail calls for a traditional cider that is clean and sparkling, dry or sweet to your taste. We suggest a barrel-aged cider, as the flavors of vanilla and oak from the barrel combine nicely with the cassis for a beverage brimming with fall flavors. If you’ve had a hard day, bring up the heat with a dash of calvados or brandy. Located in the Distillery District, Wise Bird Cider Company is a Lexington-based cider company that specializes in small-batch ciders made from the highest quality apples they can find. Ingredients: • 2 teaspoons creme de cassis • 6-7 ounces cider Method: Put the creme de cassis in the bottom of a champagne or wine glass, then pour the cider on top. Cheers! ■
