Family Tradition

Meet Joyce Spalding Leverett of Spalding’s Bakery

By Josh Caudill Joyce Spalding Leverett celebrates her 90th birthday by putting on a clean apron and working behind the counter of the bakery that her father Bowman J. Spalding and her mother Zelma started out of their home in Lexington back in 1929. Daughter Catherine Leverett Barton began the day on facebook, “If you are one of her former students or a loyal bakery customer, remember my sweet mother on her 90th birthday. She will be at work as usual at Spalding’s Bakery. Stop in to wish her Happy Birthday. She taught 37 years before retiring, Bryan Station Junior High, Tates Creek Senior High...Truly a remarkable lady with a strong work ethic and a determined constitution!” “Miss Joyce” as many customers and former students know her, smiles as she proudly leafs through all the 90th birthday cards made by the second graders at Christ the King School. “Time passes too quickly,” Leverett says. Spalding’s Bakery, on Winchester Road, is a living scrapbook —from the photo of Leverett’s grandfather with his bakery delivery wagon in the early 1900s, all the way to her daughters and relatives who still work alongside her today. She tucks the cards behind the cash register the bakery has had since 1935, the one she and her father got from a grocery store that went bankrupt, replacing the cigar box where they previously had kept the money. On Mother’s Day, you’ll find her behind the counter as usual. “We always work on Mother’s Day,” she says. “We’re feeding other mothers. We’re pretty busy, but we’re together.” When the bakery was downtown, Leverett recalls a time when they all lived over the shop — and daughter Martha would sneak downstairs to the bakery where her grandfather fed her glazed doughnuts early in the morning before her mother would wake up...and then wonder why Martha wasn’t hungry. “When we moved, I suddenly began to eat breakfast again,” Edwards laughs.

Both of Leverett’s daughters, Martha Edwards and Catherine Barton, as well as her grandchildren, learned how to count money and how to make change and count the money back while at the bakery. Edwards recalls, “I remember being taught how to write my name, standing behind the counter. My grandmother would show me how to write my name.” “Then she went up into the living room with some sharp object and wrote her name in front of a cherry desk,” Leverett interrupts. “And you’ll never let me forget that,” Edwards laughs.

Many decades later, Leverett still recalls the early days of the family business. “This was during the Great Depression but I didn’t know that. It was hard times because everybody worked and everybody that I knew had plenty to eat. We were open 24 hours a day, seven days a week,” Leverett said.

“Little Pies were a specialty item then. I learned how to write by writing the words ‘Apple,’ ‘Peach,’ ‘Pineapple’ and ‘Cherry’ in these little glassine bags that we put the pies in. I think they sold for a nickel,” Leverett said. “We sold doughnuts in this store, three for a nickel but those nickels were hard to get because grown men were working for $1 a day.” After Leverett graduated from Transylvania University, she would go on to teach for 37 years, while also working the bakery with her brother and her father. Spalding’s is such an iconic landmark that every day is filled with customers from multiple generations who are well known to the bakers by their families, backgrounds, how many kids they have, and when their birthdays are. Three generations of Spalding women have been known to laugh and cry along with customers, sharing moments of both joy and sorrow. “We had a customer who was buried with a doughnut in his pocket,” Leverett says. “Recently, at his celebration of life, one of our former customers had his three favorite foods served—hot dogs, Coors Light, and Spalding’s doughnuts… it was listed in the obituary.” One of the most memorable stories was the phone call Leverett received at home several years ago. A woman

said her husband had a heart attack, had developed pneumonia, and had been on a ventilator for four days, still unresponsive. His doctor informed the family that it was time to call in the minister and close family members to say their goodbyes. They all delivered their heartfelt farewells… but still no response.

“His son said, ‘Pop, if you’d like a Spalding’s doughnut, wiggle your big toe.’ He flexed his entire foot,” Leverett laughed. “He called in the nurse and his son repeated it and he flexed his whole foot. I guess it was time for him to wake up and he wanted to hear something good.” “I thanked her for calling and thought, ‘That’s a good story. I wonder if it’s really true?’ About three months later, this big, healthy looking man walks in and said, ‘My wife called you at home and told you I’m the one who wiggled my foot.’ So that kind of touches you.” Lexington dentist Dr. Billy A.

Forbess met Leverett over 20 years ago and will tell you firmly that Spalding’s has the best dessert in Lexington. But he’s impressed by more than just the confections. “It tells you something when there’s a line out the door from the time they open to the time they close. Where else do you see people wait 30 minutes in line to get a doughnut? It’s a real family business.” He adds, “There’s so many churches they serve and have doughnuts for every Sunday morning. If you went in there Sunday morning and saw how many people came by there and have preorders all boxed up, tied up and ready to go — I bet they’re feeding half the churches in Lexington! I don’t know if you could have church without Spalding’s.” With a reputation like that, the Spalding family has heard many stories of how meaningful their donuts are. In addition to the community impact, Leverett’s most cherished experiences are spending her days with her daughters and grandchildren and enjoying the life and business their family has built. Leverett puts it simply, “My parents would be proud.”

Team Mom

Meet Mrs. Cal, A Renaissance Woman (with her own power tools)

By Josh Caudill

fter the gates open quietly off of a busy section of Richmond Road, the first noise comes from Palmer and McGruff, rushing out of the house to investigate. Duly alerted, waiting at the front door in a gray sweater over black pants and boots, is the First Lady of Kentucky basketball, Ellen Calipari. Unlike her husband, Kentucky head basketball coach John Calipari, Ellen doesn’t operate in the spotlight. She enjoys life behind the scenes as a mother of three and the beloved team mom to the Wildcats basketball roster. Daughter Erin, now an assistant professor of pharmacology at Vanderbilt University School of Medicine, remembers marveling at her mom’s ability to hold down the fort with young children while making sure the bills got paid, that the clothes were clean, the house was functioning, and that everyone was fed. According to Erin, if they were eating, it was thanks to Mom, because their dad only knows how to make French toast, milkshakes, and eggs. “She looks like this tiny little adorable woman who’s so sweet, but she’s the fiercest, [most] independent, driven woman I’ve ever met in my entire life,” Erin says proudly of her mother. “Normally, people think of the female role model as getting her nails done. No, that’s my dad. My dad would take us to get our nails done. My mom was the one building furniture, teaching us how to use a table saw and a sander, and she’d see something in a magazine and she’d build it.” Mrs. Cal’s handiwork includes a coffee table in the TV room and a console table down in the basement. She’s a renaissance woman with her own power tools. Her husband may be a hall of fame coach, but here, his daughters

consider him Mr. Ellen Calipari. Ellen says, “I grew up in a small town in rural Missouri and in a family where we did things that were creative and kind of made our own form of entertainment,” describing how she’d come by her love of learning how things work by watching her own dad work outside. Erin says, “Our upbringing was so funny and reflective of how my sister and I function in society. My mom is very feminine but she’s not your prototypical woman. Anything that went wrong in the house, she could fix it. She was an amazing handyman, and my dad wouldn’t know how to change a lightbulb if he had to. “ Ellen says of her early life as a Mom, running Erin to basketball games and Megan to softball, all while Brad was still an infant. “You have the financial stability, so you don’t have to worry about that, but you’re doing everything yourself. In Massachusetts, I stacked the firewood, I mowed the yard, I painted the house, I did the landscaping — and a lot of that is I like to be the hands-on person and if I can do it, I don’t like to ask somebody else to do it for me. That’s just the way I grew up.” The girls like to tease her about her reputation as the “No” parent. As Erin tells it, if they ever got a “maybe” from their mom, that was an exciting day. Even if they somehow secured an initial ‘Yes’ from their father, it was likely to be vetoed. “For the most part, they probably never asked him and if he would’ve said, ‘yes’ I would have overruled that,” Ellen laughed. “I’m sure it would surprise a lot of people because he’s tough with the players but he’s spineless with our children. I’m the tough person.”

“I

always wanted to be a mother and have always enjoyed being around my kids and being with my kids. They were never embarrassed to have me around when their friends were around which I appreciate,” Ellen says. The peripatetic life of a head coach can be hard enough on grown ups, but being the new kid at school can seem like the end of the world. “That did concern me,” Ellen admits, “because [growing up] I never had to move. Erin was a year and a half the first time we moved. I always looked forward to going back to my parent’s house and we would go a

couple of times a year. I think for my kids, it was such a refreshing escape from the life we lived (which was very much under a microscope).” For Erin, her mother was always the rock during the transitions. When her father took the head coaching job with the New Jersey Nets, Erin remembers being furious about the impending move. In an attempt to console her, she said her father told her if he made her move again, he’d build her a basketball court in the yard. “Of course, two years later, he gets fired by the Nets and we move and I’m furious, ‘You’re making us move

Ellen says, “I admire my kids because I don’t know if I could’ve done what they’ve done with the upbringing they’ve had — to be a child of a public figure — but just the fact that the girls are very strong women, making their own way, doing completely different things, just fighting to be the best in their field,” Ellen said. “And for Brad too [who] went away to prep school, which I admired and in a way, it was hard for me but in a way, it wasn’t because it was his choice. [To] make the decision to come here and play for John was not an easy decision. I know he did his homework. I

again? You’re building that basketball court!’ so they actually did,” Erin laughed. “They did things like that, which is huge and ridiculous, but they do that to make sure we were okay.” Ellen doesn’t recall all the details as specifically, but she does laugh when she confirms, “We did have a full court basketball court in Memphis and here, we have a half court so I guess that shows you the respect that Brad got.” But the pride the Caliparis take in their children is well reported.

found out from our other players that he called them and asked how hard is it. So, I admire him for being able to make that decision. He didn’t come to Kentucky because it was an easy thing to do, because it was probably the hardest thing to do.”

hen the Calipari family moved to Lexington in 2009, Ellen knew absolutely nothing about the area, but it grew on her quickly. She has an appreciation for the horse farms and enjoys a good dinner at Tony’s. She’s

FEATURE been to the Derby, but where she really thrives is the role of team mom. She’s ‘Mrs. Cal’ to her husband’s players, serving as a mother figure and someone to lean on while they’re away from home for the first time in their lives. There’s more caterers involved these days, of course, but early on, she would regularly make team meals for Coach Cal’s players. Those memories are still fresh in Erin’s mind, but what touched her the most was seeing her mom walk players out on Senior Night if their mothers weren’t able to be there. Ellen says, “The first one I remember walking out was John Tate [UMass] and I love being able to do that,” adding, “I just came across some pictures the other day of when Erin was in high school and she had her Senior Night and Brad and I walked her out because John wasn’t there. I’m glad to be able to fill those shoes in a little way.”

player, it’s hard to get your alone time.” Everyone from Big Blue Nation understands the reputation of Mrs. Cal’s fabled brownies that she gives to each player on his birthday. It’s probably one of her husband’s best pitches on the recruiting trail. (If it isn’t, it should be.) Being a Midwest girl, Ellen used to be famous for her brisket, an old recipe she got from her mother. All of the kids loved it until Megan decided to go vegan. Nowadays, it’s all about the brownies.

your brownies in your locker all day, odds are you’re going to be missing five or six when you come back...They will ask you for the brownies before they even tell you Happy Birthday,” Floreal said. In the 2015-2016 season, the players got together and returned the gesture by making brownies for Ellen’s birthday and delivering them to her before a game against Illinois State. One by one, they each came by to hug her. “The brownies were very good,” she admits, “but I’m more of a shy, introverted, self-conscious person

“People approach me requesting the recipe and then proceed to tell me their recipe thinking I’m going to reciprocate,” she laughs. But, she explains, “it’s not about the brownies. It’s about the recipient. It just started [by] recognizing the fact that these are children and they’re away from home for the first time and they’re having a birthday and a birthday should be special.” “Especially with a lot of the guys whose families aren’t here, she’s just somebody that they can feel at home with,” Floreal said. “The biggest thing she does for sure, is on the birthdays. If the world forgets, at least you know Mrs. Cal remembers. She’ll bring you a nice plate of brownies to make sure you know somebody has your back.” Each birthday batch is about three stacks high and they’re hoarded like gold. As Floreal tells it, “if you leave

and to do that in Rupp Arena, in front of everybody was a little embarrassing, I guess,” adding “But at the same time, it made my day and it was the first and only time that has ever happened — that I got brownies on my birthday.” Floreal feels close to the family. He befriended Brad through their love for basketball and video games before he even came to Kentucky and joined the team. But what truly stood out to Floreal was how Mrs. Cal treated him when he left the basketball team to pursue track and field. “For me, the biggest thing by far is when I switched sports,” Floreal said. “Instead of casting me away...every time I see her, she hugs me, I hug her, she asks how I’m doing, how’s track and how she can’t wait to see it work out. She showed me support even with the stretch. That’s real.”

erek Willis, who played for the Wildcats from 2013-2017, was especially grateful entering his freshman season. “Right off the bat,” Willis says, “She made me feel welcome because I didn’t know anyone and I was pretty nervous. She’s just a great person to be around and as much credit as Coach Cal gets, she is deserving of every bit or more because she is putting up with his schedule and all of these kids coming in and out — that’s a lot.” Willis saw Mrs. Cal’s selflessness on display when she caught up Bam Adebayo’s laundry after he got behind and was in desperate need of clean clothes. Karl Towns, who still texts Ellen, was also the occasional beneficiary of her laundry skills. The Calipari’s have always been known for their open door policy. Ever since their days at UMass when the house was much smaller (and the kids would attempt to hide their Halloween candy from the players), Erin fondly recalls, “Having 10-12 siblings who would wreak havoc on your life but in a good way.” E.J. Floreal, who played for Calipari 2013- 2016, says, “That’s probably hard for a lot of people to open up their house to 15 strangers every year but the fact that she’s willing to do that and that we’re able to sleep there and feel at home or eat there… it’s just a place to be away from everybody. When you’re a Kentucky basketball

Before Brad joined the Wildcats two years ago, Ellen stayed under the radar, but has now outed herself. She can be seen at every game usually wearing Brad’s jersey and cheering on the team. Erin, who likes to refer to herself as being the first Italian son for 10 years until Brad was born, says her mother was “pumped” that her son is so close to home where she can keep an eye on him and make sure he’s okay and yes, still comes over to do laundry. “My mom is in heaven. She gets to see her husband coach and watch her son play. It’s a family thing now,” Erin said. “It’s been really good to watch them and it’s nice to hear everybody cheer him on when he gets in the game,” Ellen says. “I’ve learned from Brad too that it’s hard to sit on the bench for two hours and go in cold and make a shot.” Mrs. Cal has no complaints about empty nest syndrome. Now she has time for Grace and Frankie (she’s the more Netflix savvy of the two), and bringing the dogs to visit Coach at practice. Morning trips for puppuccinos are a regular part of the couple’s routine when he’s not with the team. She has more time for travel now (she still follows him on Twitter to see what recruiting trip he’s on), going to the shooting range, practicing her woodworking and recently, getting to go on her first ride along. UK’s basketball program owes much of its success to Mrs. Cal’s role as First Lady and team mom. Floreal speaks for BBN when he says, “this program would not be the same without her and Coach Cal wouldn’t be the same without her either. She plays as big of a role. She’s an integral part of what happens here. She deserves a big ‘thank you’ for all of the stuff she does.” As she welcomes new kids into the Calipari family every season, showing them the love, the support (and yes, the brownies), she’s still just Mom to Erin, Megan and Brad, a role that she cherishes most. “Spend time with your kids,” she says. “Do kid things with your kids. I always got out and played. Nothing was beneath me. Just enjoy it. It goes so fast and it should be so fun.”

My Mother’s China By Tom Yates

y mother’s wheat pattern bone china has logged quite a few miles over the years. Purchased in Stuttgart, Germany sometime during the 50’s after marrying my father and moving to Germany, her precious china filled the very modern Danish teak buffet that my father apparently couldn’t live without. Neatly stacked and arranged, entree plates, dessert plates, bread plates, finger bowls, serving bowls, serving platters, crystal glassware, teacups, coffee cups, and individual salt and pepper shakers rounded out the complete service for 12. I imagine it made quite a statement in their army base apartment. Shortly after I was born, our stint in Stuttgart ended and we were on the move, china in tow. Over a 60 year stretch, the china crossed oceans and continents several times, following my family from Germany to Washington D.C., Austria, Africa, and back to Virginia before landing in my father’s farm house in Kentucky. Sometime between moves, my mother passed away. She vanished. Left in the dark at the time, I was told years later that I was too young to fully understand. You can’t miss something that you don’t remember losing. Day by day, I guess I just went with the flow. We were always on the move. Without much thought, I went from waiting for the ice cream truck on a curb in suburban D.C. to staring out the window of a cold apartment on a busy Vienna strasse. Normal life. Not skipping a beat, we simply kept going and going like nothing had ever

happened. To ease his load and maybe some guilt, my father secured nannies and housekeepers to fill what he thought was my void. Despite navigating a few cultural and language barriers, I held fast to my German, Czech, Swedish, and African caretakers. They were all that I knew to love. They formed me. Loved me. Molded me. Still, as much as I counted on them, they changed as often as our addresses, vanishing as my family moved on. As an innocent Buster Brown-clad kid, I grew accustomed to constant change and frequent good-byes. Even then, one thing never changed. Throughout all the moves and rotating surrogate stand-ins, my mother’s china was a constant. Pieces of her were always present. Delicate. Pristine. Familiar. An unknown connection. Years later, when my father passed away, her china made one last journey to our home here in Lexington. Although a bit too matchy-matchy and over the top for most folks, we adore it. And while all the previous caretakers of the china handled it with kid gloves for special occasions, we drag it out and manhandle it all the time. It’s too precious to be precious. Stacked and arranged in what is now considered a noteworthy mid-century modern Danish teak buffet, the well traveled china endures. Dinged up somewhat from years of use and bumpy journeys, her delicate whisper thin china mysteriously haunts me, reassures me, and comforts me. A tangible lost memory I can touch. Mothers are the storytellers and keepers of our secrets. My mother’s china is my story.

Teacup Carrot Soup With Chilled Crab After peeling and chopping 2 pounds of carrots, I diced 1 medium sweet onion, minced 5 Bath County spring green garlic bulbs, and set them aside. After heating 2 tablespoons olive oil in a larger dutch oven over a medium high flame, I tumbled the carrots, onions, and garlic into the sizzling hot oil before adding salt, ground white pepper, and 1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger. When the carrots and onions softened (without taking on color), I added 2 cups water, 3 cups chicken stock, and 2 fresh bay leaves. I brought the soup to a boil, reduced it to a simmer, covered the pot, and let it rip for 45 minutes. Gilding the lily. While I’m a sucker for crunchy deep fried or baked croutons as soup toppers, I took a softer route. I carefully separated and flaked 4 ounces chilled crab claw meat before gently tossing it with lemon zest, fresh lemon juice, olive oil, snipped chives,

slivered red bell pepper, a pinch of salt, and a dusting of ground white pepper. After a quick taste to adjust the seasoning, I slid the crab into the refrigerator to chill. The silk road. When the carrots were knife tender, I removed the bay leaves, transferred the soup to a blender, pureed the soup in batches until it was silky smooth, and let it cool just a tad before tumbling the chilled crab salad into the vibrant puree and finishing flaked sea salt, a drizzle of olive oil, and Elmwood Stock Farm spicy micro greens. Clean and fresh, hints of ginger and spring garlic poked through the inherent earthy sweetness of the carrots, giving the simple puree a subtle spicy warmth and depth of flavor. While the delicate flaked crab brought understated briny lux to the party, the punchy lemon, slivered peppers, and micro greens provided acidic fresh crunch. Pureed carrot soup. Chilled crab. Precious worn china. Hold fast to the storytellers.
