Puppy Proofed Protect your dog and home from each other

By: Bridget Johnson

ith a new year comes a fresh start, and a chance to make your home safe for your new puppy. A new dog presents an assortment of challenges. One that is imperative to the dog’s safety (and your sanity) is “puppy proofing.” Although you will train your pup what is appropriate to chew and what is off limits, it will make your life much easier if you reorganize your home with the dog in mind. In the Living Room: Living Areas are often a catchall of personal items; your laptop case from work, your favorite pair of comfy shoes, all of the throw pillows you can imagine. This fix is simple. Be diligent about putting

Keeping the toilet closed is crucial, as it presents the dangers of both drowning and chemical risks. Any hair tools should be unplugged or placed in a cabinet with a child latch to prevent your cords from being chewed through and shocking you or your puppy. If you keep an eye out for things that your dog is drawn to, puppy proofing becomes a simpler feat. Puppies are incredibly curious creatures, however, building some basic habits to keep your

COVER STORY

Eye on the Prize

Caity Jackson to compete in Miss Kentucky USA

By: Claire Ramsay

f it’s January, it’s time for New Year’s resolutions about health, wellness, and fitness.

Caity Jackson is a 25-year-old Lexington woman who’s given herself a challenge: be fit and ready for this month’s Miss Kentucky USA pageant. Readers will recognize her from her years as an on-air reporter in local news. As an EKU student before that, she even helped to produce a Good Morning America segment with a famous weatherman alum. Pageants have long been a motivating force for her though. She recalls, “When I first started competing as a teen, I was asked an on stage question — ‘Which celebrity would you have lunch with and why?’ Without hesitating or thinking I

blurted out Zac Efron! He’s gorgeous.” The audience laughed at her confession, and, she adds, “the judges thought it was hilarious and I ended up placing second!”

ackson has always had a healthy lifestyle, but currently she has something that pushes her to stick with her plan and that’s what everyone should find. The biggest reason people fall a little short or stop altogether is having that discipline. After doing a routine of eating healthy and working out for a few weeks people start to relax and not be as strict on themselves. Life gets in the way. Something pops up to where you lose that one day and it ruins your rhythm. Jackson tries not to let that get in the

way, and advises, “If you get into the habit of eating right and working out, it becomes second nature. Seeing results is always a good motivator.” Her routine might not be for the faint of heart, however. She says, “In the morning, I drink a cup of coffee with unsalted

butter, heavy cream, and MCT oil. It’s actually pretty good!”

fter college, Caity was diagnosed with celiac disease. Celiac is an autoimmune gluten sensitivity disorder that usually forces patients to eliminate wheat, barley, and rye. Once diagnosed, she had to change her way of eating. “It has been a rough patch for the past three years” she said, but with a new Keto diet, she has found a way to eat healthy and eliminate gluten. Some advice Jackson has for the readers is to create lists or schedules and routines that you know you can stick to because that will help keep you motivated. Diet is the first step to seeing any significant change. Health and fitness and weight loss all happens in the kitchen before they happen in the gym. She recommends, “Stay away from sugars and processed food. Sugars cause headaches and inflammation.” If you have a huge sweet tooth, she says there are plenty of Keto recipes that can help alleviate that craving. “Once you become used to not having any of those items in your system, you’ll no longer crave them.”

COVER STORY

he feels better now compared to before her path to a healthier life, “I feel like a whole new person. I’m able to get more things done and can walk up the stairs without being out of breath. I used to only be able to spend 10 minutes on the treadmill and feel tired. Now I can run a 12 minute mile and feel great,” she says, adding, “one of the best keys to making sure you stick to your plan is to get enough sleep.” If you don’t get enough at night, you are tired throughout the day, and therefore have no motivation to workout.

It helps to have role models that make you laugh, she says.

KETO LAVA CAKE

“If I could work out with anyone,” Jackson admits, “ it would probably be Richard Simmons. Not only would I have a blast, I would definitely be motivated and I would get abs from laughing so hard. No one can pull off a leotard like him.”

2 tbps cocoa powder 1 -2 tbsp so nourished erythritol 1 medium egg 1 tbsp heavy cream ½ tsp vanilla extract ¼ tsp baking powder

typical day for Jackson begins with waking up, taking her vitamins, and drinking her butter coffee. She is doing intermittent fasting, so she won’t eat until noon, and then she’ll have one of her prepped meals that she orders from a local chef service. Her meal consists of high protein and few carbs. An example is an avocado and chicken salad. When she gets off work she’ll take her pre-workout drink and head straight to the gym so she is not tempted to lie down and lose motivation. She’ll do her rigorous training session for an hour, stretch, ice her body, and go home to take an Epsom salt bath. During her off training days she’ll still work out by doing cardio. She’ll typically run while she’s fasting to burn more fat. Jackson has found what gives her that drive and she has turned her 90 day challenge into a lifestyle. Her focus helps her keep an eye on the prize: Miss Kentucky, USA. You might have a different challenge and a different goal, but if you find that one thing, she believes you’ll find the motivation and discipline that will come with it.

1 pinch of salt

Preheat your oven to 350°. Combine your erythritol and cocoa powder and whisk to remove any clumps. This will make the consistency of your cake much smoother In a different bowl, beat the egg until light and fluffy. Since the lava cake is flourless, you’ll need the aeration of the beaten egg to help coax the cake to rise. Add your egg, heavy cream, and vanilla extract to the erythritol and cocoa mixture. Add the salt and baking powder as well. Spray a little cooking oil into the mug (you can use ceramic or ramekins), pour the batter in and put it to bake for about 10-15 minutes. Do not overcook the cake or it will not flow lava. The top of the cake should be set, but pretty jiggly. As an alternative, you can microwave the mug cake for about a minute. Still should be solid, but jiggly. If not after a minute, keep cooking in intervals of 10 seconds. You can add any kind of toppings to your cake.

FOOD

Fresh for the New Year Bao down, there’s a new bun in town.

By: Tom Yates

teamed instead of baked, Chinese bao buns are pillowy puffs of simple yeast dough that can be filled with a variety of sweet or savoring ingredients. Centuries old, bao buns are becoming wildly popular outside of their traditional dim sum trappings. Although typically stuffed with saucy Chinese barbecued pork (char siu bao) or roasted Peking duck, they can be filled with just about anything. Rules are made to broken. Everything old is new again, so choose your fillings, gather some garnishes, and get your steam on.

Steamed Bao Buns With Sticky Duck. Dough.

sprinkled 1 package active dry yeast into the bowl of a stand mixer and added 1/2 cup warm water. When the yeast started to bubble and foam, I added 1 1/2 cups bread flour, 2 tablespoons sugar, 1/2 teaspoon baking powder, 1/2 cup warm milk, and 1 tablespoon vegetable oil. Using a dough hook, I mixed the dough until it turned a bit shaggy before adding 1/2 cup bread flour to bring it together. When the dough pulled away from the bowl, I turned it out onto a floured board, kneaded it for 5-10 minutes, shaped it into a ball, slid it into a clean bowl, covered it with plastic

wrap, and set it aside to rise.

Buns. After doubling in size (about an hour), I punched down the dough and turned it onto a floured work board. From what I understand, most folks pinch off small bits of dough and roll them into individual discs. I cut to the chase and rolled the dough into 1/2” thick slab and used a 3” ring mold to cut out even discs. Rule breaker. After brushing the tops with vegetable oil, I folded them in half and set them aside.

Steam Heat. I lined a double tiered 10” bamboo steam basket with trimmed parchment paper, punched holes through the paper to allow the steam to penetrate both layers, and nestled the buns into the steamer. After filling a 10” wide pot with 3” water, I cranked the heat to high. When the water came to a rapid boil, I carefully placed the steamer basket on the pot, let it rip for 10 minutes, killed the heat, removed the buns, and set them aside.

Duck. Duck. Bao.

while back, I picked up a gorgeous farm raised whole duck from Joe Weber (Farmer Joe, Salvisa Ky), at the Chevy Chase Farmer’s Market. After breaking down the duck, I tossed the

FOOD breasts into the freezer and used the legs, thighs, and fatty carcass for duck confit. That journey to duck fat heaven left me with two gorgeous plump duck breasts on reserve. Fast Forward. Few things crack my knees more than pan seared medium rare duck breast. Being mindful not to cut into the flesh, I scored the fat on top of two breasts and set them aside. I knew I needed a finishing glaze for the quick pan seared duck, so I tipped my hat to the flavor profile of slow braised Chinese barbecued pork.

After slicing the breasts on a thin bias, I tucked the duck into the bao buns and drizzled them with additional sauce before finishing with quick pickled julienned carrots, fresh cilantro, shaved fresh radishes, slivered Thai chilies, and sesame seeds.

the candied duck melted into the puffy soft bread. While the pickled carrots added punchy bright acidity to cut through the sweetness of the jacked up caramelized duck, wisps of cilantro, biting chilies, and sesame seeds balanced out the party with fresh stinging crunch.

Boom to the bao.

he simple inherent nature of the steamed buns parlayed into perfect neutral canvasses for the big flavors spilling from their gentle airiness. Tender, juicy, and cradled in crisped fatty skin,

Steam heat. Hot buns.

Sticky duck.

After dissolving 2 tablespoons sugar and 1 tablespoon light brown sugar in 2 tablespoons warm water, I added 3 tablespoons dark soy sauce, 2 tablespoons light soy sauce, 2 tablespoons oyster sauce, 2 tablespoons hoisin sauce, 2 tablespoons shaoxing wine, 2 tablespoons rice wine vinegar, 2 cloves minced garlic, 1/4 cup local honey, and 1 teaspoon 5 spice powder. Hot skillet? Nope. To allow the fat to render slowly for shatteringly crisp skin, I seasoned both sides of the duck with salt and cracked black pepper before placing them skin side down in a cold cast iron skillet. After turning the flame to medium, I let the breasts coast until the fat slowly melted away and the skin caramelized, about 6 minutes. When the breasts easily released from the skillet, I flipped them over, cooked them skin side down for 3-4 minutes until they registered 135 degrees, and pulled them from the heat to rest. While the skillet was still hot, I added 2 minced garlic cloves and 1 minced shallot into the sizzling duck fat. Just before the garlic teetered on the edge of overly browned, I deglaze the skillet with 1/4 cup shaoxing wine, scraped the flavorful fond from the bottom of the skillet, let the wine reduce by half, and added the reserved sauce. When the sauce settled into a syrupy glaze, I pulled it from the heat, let it cool, and slathered it over the warm duck. hamburgjournal.com | January 2019

“The kids will achieve to the level you demand.” -Coach Landis

oach Brian Landis, one of Cam’s biggest fans and motivators, was very excited to see one of his players make it to the next level. When asked what this moment means for the future of his program he said, “This makes the younger guys excited. Shows them that hard work and dedication on and off the field can translate to big things. ” Jones is Landis’ second strait D1 commit. Landis said, “We had 2 college commits in the last 2 years and not a lot of schools around here can say that.” Coach Landis chatted with HJ back when Hamburg got it’s first high school football team in 2017. When asked what he wants to work on once he gets to Cincinnati he said “I just want to get quicker on my feet so I can be more mobile. Basically whatever they want me to work on. They are going to work with me once I get there, so whatever they need me to do.” It was a proud moment for not only the Jones family, but the Frederick Douglass family as a whole.

ccording to the University of Califonia San Francisco, “A hunched back affects 4 out of 10 people over age 65.” Silver Sneakers put together some exercises to enhance posture:

Hip Hinge

Stand tall with feet hip distance apart. While pulling your elbows back and down squeeze your shoulder blades together. Complete a total of three sets of 12 to 15 reps and only resting 30 to 60 seconds in between each set.

Stand with your feet hip distance apart, knees slightly bent, and hands on your hips. With the weight in your heels, push your hips back behind you while leaning forward. Continue bending at the hips until your torso is at a 45 degree angle or about halfway between upright and parallel to the floor. Squeeze your rear, push hips forward, and slowly raise your torso back to standing position. Perform 3 sets of 10 to 12 reps with 30 to 60 seconds rest in between each set.

Dead Bug

Bird Dog

Lie on your back with your knees bent at a 90 degree angle and knees stacked over your hips. Brace your core as you keep your back flat on the floor. Straighten your left leg towards the floor while bringing your right arm over your head towards the floor. Pause and then bring both leg and arm to beginning position. Repeat on opposite sides for 6 to 8 reps and 3 total sets.

Start on all fours with hands below shoulders and knees below hips. Lift your left arm and extend out while lifting your right leg and extending in the opposite direction. Pause and then bring hand and knee back on the ground. Repeat on the other side. Perform 3 sets with 6 to 8 reps in each set with 30 to 60 seconds of rest.

Flu Shots in Kentucky

If you haven’t gotten a vaccine yet, there’s still time

Health Calendar

ccording to the Foundation For A Healthy Kentucky only half of Kentuckians got a flu shot this past year. “Annual flu shots work,” said Ben Chandler, president and CEO of the Foundation for a Healthy Kentucky. “They keep us from getting the most common strains of flu each season and reduce the risk of complications and even death if we do end up getting sick. Just as important, when the majority of us get our flu shots, we provide a stronger measure of protection for infants and those with compromised immune systems who cannot get the vaccine.” The Foundation states that if you have not yet gotten a flu shot you are not only putting yourself at risk for serious flu complications, you’re putting others at risk. Most people decide not to get the vaccine because they are under the impression that they will in turn get the flu. That is a misconception the Foundation wants to clear up. “Flu vaccines do not cause the flu which is one of those misconceptions - and it’s important for both healthy people and those who may be vulnerable to serious flu complications to get vaccinated annually” according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The KHIP report found that women are more likely to report getting a flu shot than men along with adults ages 65 or older.

HIP is working closely with Kentucky Medical Association and the Kentucky Foundation for Medical Care for a statewide campaign called “Focus on Flu”. This campaign will focus on preventing another epidemic-level flu season. Dr. Brent Wright, president-elect of the Kentucky Medical Association and treasurer of the Foundation’s Board of Directors, said, “If you have not received your flu shot this season, please get it now. Make no mistake, the flu is not a cold; it is serious and not something to mess around with. The flu can lead to a lengthy illness, hospitalization, and in some cases death. Please give yourself, your family, and your community a gift by getting a flu shot this season.”

Alzheimer’s Awareness There are help tips to giving care to your loved one from the Alzheimer’s Association. Early Stage of helping the person with Dementia and/or Alzheimer’s live well: • Encourage physical activities. Studies show, regular physical activity may play a role in living better with the disease. Choose activities that you both can participate in. • Maintain a balanced diet. Make meals that are low in fat and high in vegetables. • Create a daily routine that will promote quality sleep and engagement with others. • Identify stressful situations. Try to

avoid unnecessary stress and confusion • Work together. Find what helps the other relax. Of course, don’t forget about yourself. Even though you are taking care of someone, you can’t forget to take care of yourself first. Without you at your healthiest, your loved one can’t thrive. Here are a few tips to take care of yourself: • Carve out a time for yourself. Get a friends or family to spend time with your loved one while you’re away. • Build a support network. • Ask for and accept help. • Do not to take things personally. Symptoms of the disease can cause an

individual to forget commitments. This is not a reflection of their character. • Stay healthy. • Stay engaged. Continue to be involved in activities that are important to you. • Allow yourself to laugh and have fun. The key point for any caretaker is to find support and surround yourself by supportive people. Find a local support group. Taking care of someone can cause stress and be emotional, but the best thing for anyone to do is to get help and know how to properly take care of someone with Alzheimer’s and/or Dementia.

That was one of your best decisions.

housing and allow people like Renata to age in place.”

he Love Your Neighborhood campaign is still going strong in the Lexington area. Lexington Habitat for Humanity has teamed up with Thrivent Financial for another home project. Renata Cruz, who has physical limitations and needs critical repairs made to her home, is the recipient of this generous project. Ms. Cruz’s house sits on Tulane Drive and is in desperate need of repairs and replacements. The volunteers from Young Realtors of the Bluegrass and Thrivent Financial got together to make these repairs possible. They worked together on interior and exterior repairs, removed torn carpet, painted the side of the garage, cleaned fallen limbs from the back yard, and trimmed up the front of the house. For the bigger picture, her HVAC, roof, door handles, plumbing, drywall, gutters, hot water heater, and broken windows will either be repaired or replaced. The Love Your Neighborhood program is apart of Lexington Habitat’s broader strategy to transform, strengthen, and revitalize the city of Lexington. Lexington Habitat Executive Director Rachel Childress says that Love Your Neighborhood “provides Lexington Habitat with a valuable opportunity to serve our community. Providing critically needed home repairs to our vulnerable neighbors is another way that we provide affordable

Thrivent helps bring the financial backing, volunteer, and advocacy resources to make these repairs possible. Brittany Lawson, Financial Consultant with Thrivent Financial adds, “This program provides us with more options to serve Lexington. Upgrading existing homes not only makes the homes safer and more efficient, it also cultivates community pride. For Renata, these repairs will enable her to age in place in HER home, safely.”
