Q A
What deductions have been eliminated on the tax return?
For the 2018 tax year, common deductions have been eliminated or limited. Many taxpayers have previously deducted items such as unreimbursed business expenses (mileage, dues, travel, etc.) and moving expenses. These deductions have now been eliminated. In addition, certain
taxpayers who typically deduct state and local income taxes — which included the taxes on your W-2, real estate taxes on your home, and the taxes paid on your vehicle each year have now all been limited to $10,000 in aggregate for Federal tax purposes. This will reduce the deductions available for many taxpayers who have typically itemized their deductions.
Q A
Why am I paying interest and penalties? Did you file an extension?
This is one of the most common questions we get each year. Filing an extension for time to file does prevent a late filing penalty. However, it does not provide amnesty to the taxpayer for late payment of tax owed. If you are a taxpayer who typically owes on their returns, you may want to consider paying an estimated tax when filing your extension. Otherwise, you will be assessed a late payment penalty and

Q A
What tip do you have to make tax time less stressful?
Organization. Not only does it make our job easier as tax preparers (and potentially reduce your tax prep fee!), but organization typically garners better results. Organized books and records allow us to better evaluate and analyze the information provided. This can potentially uncover additional tax benefits through inquiry – which an organized taxpayer is usually more equipped to answer efficiently and correctly.

New Apartment Complex proposed in Hamburg
Principal Joshua Williams and Elementary Chief Lisa Smith at the construction site of Brenda Cowan Elementary. Principal Joshua Williams said in a newsletter that the school is going to be “arts integrated.” It will range from special areas to core curriculum and “the students will be provided with diverse opportunities to learn through the lens of arts education.”
Ball Homes has proposed a 12 apartment building complex that will have 336 apartments. The location is north of the Man O War Boulevard and Polo Club Boulevard intersection and Ball Homes, has filed an application for rezoning. The area is currently zoned for community center, but wants to make it a mix of expansion area residential zones. The planned project will include an abundance of community open space and 15 acres of open space/greenway buffer between the property and adjacent neighbors. There will be around 22,000 square feet of recreational facilities built.

Hand Made
Local woodworker finds the right angle
By Claire Ramsay
I
f you’ve toured any high-end remodels or new construction recently, you’ve probably noticed a name cropping up: Burton Made. Whether it’s a wine-tasting table for an Atchison-Heller project, a custom coffee table for the Castle and Key Visitor Center, a wide slash of ash for kitchen seating for Pickett Homes, a tray ceiling rendered in wood to top off a bar, or a custom solid walnut island, home and garden industry insiders are getting to know Doug Burton. Burton was born and raised in Lexington, KY and received his degree in Geology from the University of Kentucky. He’s been making furniture for the past 9 years. His woodworking business, Burton Made, started out as a hobby he worked

Custom bar set built for Pickett Homes and Architectural Kitchens and Baths. on in his basement that eventually got out of hand. He began his business in 2015 with a focus on quality and detail, and has now expanded to a workshop located in an industrial area off Winchester Road. He noticed that there is a lot of furniture out there that looks great in passing or in photos, but lacks usability. “I didn’t see the point in a nice table that was damaged by setting a glass on it. So I was motivated to make a product that looked good, was not made of veneers, and would hold up to the flurry of everyday life.” Burton has had an interest in building things since a young age. When he was eight, he and his sister found some scrap wood that they used to make a toy box. It wasn’t until he was 22 that he made his “first real piece of furniture.” He created his own bed frame, a project that took him two months worth of nights and weekends to complete. It’s an African Mahogany mission style frame that he uses to this day. When asked what his preferred piece of furniture to create is, he simply said “I enjoy making interesting bespoke pieces.” He started out by just designing and making tables out of wood that look like they have their own story to tell. His
work has evolved over time since he first started this “hobby,” but he enjoys meeting one-on-one with a client and bringing their vision to life. He personally loves working with walnut. He likes to pick pieces that tell a story and will provoke people to ask questions. He especially appreciates projects where his clients provide their own wood because that’s a story he can help write for them. “I particularly enjoyed a table made out of hand hewn ash beams from a client’s family homestead in Clark County dating back to the early 1700s.”
“I’ve always had a creative bug. Most gifts I’ve given to family members over the years have been homemade.” A former client of his asked him to build a wine tasting table out of a large oak tree that came down on their family farm. This turned into one of his favorite projects he’s ever worked on. Each child of the family took a circular slice from the stump of the tree and he was able to join them together to create the wine table. It became a commanding centerpiece, not

Custom barn door mantel combo built for Atchison Heller only for their wine cellar, but for conversation and good wine. This summer, Doug will be getting married and a dream project for him would be to create something that will commemorate their day — something he could make a part of their home together. One look at his work screams, “don’t try this at home,” but a pro tip he has for any DIYers is to be very selective when it comes to the quality of wood being used. Make sure it has been dried properly because when the process is rushed, wood doesn’t season or acclimate well. If rushed, it may appear fine, but it can crack and warp months after you are done. When going through a supplier, make sure that your supplier lets their milled lumber season for two to three months before kiln drying. This will allow the stresses in the wood time to work their way out. He also lives by the old saying, “measure twice, cut once.” Precision is key. He reminds us, “10 and ⅞ of an inch is not the same as 10 and 15/16 of an inch, and there is no faking a right angle.”

Spring Showers What’s blooming in the bluegrass?
By Claire Ramsay
D
espite the recent eternal winter of record rainfall, Spring is just around the corner, and Lexington will be in bloom before you know it. Many avid gardeners have already started seeds indoors, but the bluegrass is home to a variety of nurseries, greenhouses, and farms that can supply all your needs for plants, workshops, and DIY advice. Everyone in Hamburg knows that a treasure of growing supplies and friendly neighborhood advice can be found just around the corner at Southern States Lexington Cooperative on Palumbo. Julianna Brakebill of Southern States says the vegetables to grow for the early spring are lettuce, cabbage, and broccoli. However, if you plan to work in a small space then the recommendation is to plant tomatoes, peppers, bush beans, and bush variety cucumbers. When it comes to flowers and Kentucky soil, she says that most annual and
perennial flowers that you can find in box stores and nurseries will do well. A few good ones for beginners are marigolds, lilies, impatiens, and sweet potato vines. If interested in shrubs and perennials try roses, boxwoods, lilies, and hostas. Julianna’s pro tip: start small and grow a little each year. Try not to overwhelm yourself. Lastly, if Julianna was only allowed one tool, she said it would be a gardening hoe. Southern States will host a “Vegetable Gardening for Beginners” Seminar on March 7 at 6 pm Agents from the Fayette County Cooperative Extension will be here to discuss tips on early spring gardening. Save on gardening supplies too — all vegetable seed and seed starting supplies will be 10 percent off. Antioch Daylily Garden will host “DayLily Days” later this summer — the farm will be open for designated Saturdays during peak bloom season. Customers
will be able to point to their favorites, which will be freshly dug on the spot. Although many perennials get their best start in the fall, daylily lovers are not too late. Charlie and Lisa Farmer say they are very hardy and adaptable and can be planted at various times. It’s recommended, though, that they go in the ground in the spring after the last hard frost or during the summer or fall. If you decide to plant outside of that window, be sure to water frequently and mulch the newly planted daylilies. The Farmer’s pro tip for first time daylily planters: try to visit a daylily farm during peak bloom season. There are hundreds of varieties that bloom mid-summer and that time gives future gardeners a great opportunity to choose from a wide variety of colors and sizes. Bluegrass Blooms & Botanicals will be on site at the Lexington Farmers’ Market downtown with a variety of cash and carry bouquets this season, but they’re happy to hand out advice year round.
Elizabeth Sainte from Bluegrass Blooms says if you are looking for spring blooms (tulips, daffodils, hycinth, fritillaria, muscari) the best time to plant those bulbs is in the fall. This will provide them the cooling period they need to hibernate. There are also quite a few annual seeds planted the first week of May that will give you an abundance of luscious flowers all season long, especially Zinnia, Sunflower, and Cosmo seeds. Tubers like dahlias can also be planted in the spring. Elizabeth says the selection of vegetables that can be grown in Lexington soil is limitless, but recommends to start with what you love to eat. Her particular favorites to grow are tomatoes, bell peppers, squash, cucumbers, eggplant, okra, carrots, Kentucky Wonder green beans, Roma green beans, and Silver Queen corn. (PRO TIP: for growing corn in a small backyard, gently tap the stalks with a broomstick or garden hoe to pollinate your tassels.) Bluegrass Blooms and Elizabeth thinks everyone should try to grow a few perennial flowers. They are low maintenance when it comes to fertilizer and water and will put on a beautiful show year after year. Elizabeth’s best tip for a new gardener: start small. You don’t want to feel overwhelmed when starting something new.

Book Club at the Lexington Senior Center On March 7 in honor of Women’s History Month, Carolyn’s Corner Book Club will turn to Lilac Girlsby by Martha Hall Kelly. Inspired by the life of a real World War II heroine, this debut novel reveals a story of love, redemption and secrets that were hidden for decades. New York socialite Caroline Ferriday has her hands full with her post at the French consulate and a new relationship on the horizon. But Caroline’s world is forever changed when Hitler’s army invades Poland in September 1939—and then sets its sights on France.An ocean away from Caroline, Kasia Kuzmerick, a Polish teenager, senses her carefree youth disappearing as she is drawn deeper into her role as courier for the underground resistance movement. In a tense atmosphere of watchful eyes and suspecting neighbors, one false move can have dire consequences.For the ambitious young German doctor, Herta Oberheuser, an ad for a government medical position seems her ticket out of a desolate life. Oncehired, though, she finds herself trapped in a male-dominated realm of Nazi secrets and power.The lives of these three women are set on a collision course
when the unthinkable happens and Kasia is sent to Ravensbrück, the notorious Nazi concentration camp for women. Their stories cross continents—from New York to Paris, Germany, and Poland—as Caroline and Kasia strive to bring justice to those whom history has forgotten.
Osteoporosis & Exercising: 4 Rules to Follow
1

Strengthen Your Muscles: Workouts should revolve around functional movements like squats, lunges, and pushups. It can also incorporate free weight exercises, exercise bands, machines, or your own body weight. Use as Much Impact as You Can Tolerate: This applies to weight-bearing aerobic activities because it directly affects the bones in your legs, hips, and lower spine. Start with a low-impact exercise like the elliptical.
Allow your body enough time to heal: Allow at least one full day between high-impact exercise and then gradually increase the number of workouts each week. Avoid Forward Bends and Twists: These movements can strain the spine and can create compression between the vertebrae and trigger “cascade of fractures.” Avoid any type of exercises that involve bending forward or twisting. hamburgjournal.com | March 2019

PETS Police Dept. Breaks Ground on New K-9 Facility Lexington Police recently broke ground on a new 3,800 square-foot kennel for the K- 9 Unit. The new kennel is being built on land owned by the City near Old Frankfort Pike and Alexandria Drive. It will replace the existing kennel on Old Frankfort, which was built by officers in 1968 and currently houses 12 canines. A 13th canine in the unit currently stays at its handler’s home because there is no room at the kennel. The Lexington Police Canine Unit was the first of its kind in Kentucky. Construction plans for the new K-9 facility call for 20 individual kennels. The new building will also include larger office space, dedicated rooms for veterinary care and food storage, and a locker room with a shower. In 2018, the Canine Unit was called out for 800 incidents, 66% of which involved narcotics. Officers provided sweeps of major public venues and events. Dogs typically serve 6-8 years before they are retired.
