TIME TO ROCK THE HOUSE FOR KIDS AND A GOOD CAUSE
“I am more than humbled to follow in the footsteps of Dr. George Zack and Dr. Everett McCorvey. I am hardly in their league… “ —Michael Rintamaa,
Director of Music at Central Christian Church
Rintamaa is receiving the award for his dedication, not only to CMA, but to Lexington’s music community as a whole, and will serve as this year’s CMA Rocks the House Honoree. Michael spent 12 years on CMA’s board, and his infectious joy and passion for music have continually inspired CMA’s staff and students! The Central Music Academy is in its 13th year of operating as a non-profit music school; giving free music lessons to children whose parents would
CMA board chairman Pam Hammonds recently spoke to the CCC congregation, saying, “This year we have come full circle, with two of our former students now teaching private lessons at CMA. We have 100% high school graduation rate, and 98% of our high school seniors have gone on to college. Currently we give 104 students free lessons; another 93 students are on our waiting list.”

not otherwise be able to pay for lessons. Since CMA’s inception, they have provided over 35,000 free music lessons to over 950 children.
A
s a non-profit, CMA raises money for lessons from grants, private donations and the CMA Rocks The House Fundraiser. For the past three years at CMA Rocks The House, they have awarded a Gold Record to individuals that contribute to CMA’s mission. This year’s CMA Gold Record recipient will be Central Christian’s Michael Rintamaa. Hammonds further described Rintamaa’s quiet but determined influence. “Michael was a founding Board member, officer, and visionary of CMA. When told of his selection, Michael said, ‘I am more than humbled to follow
in the footsteps of Dr. George Zack and Dr. Everett McCorvey. I am hardly in their league… .’ Michael has encouraged friends, colleagues and students to attend, saying, “‘I would love to see YOU there. It would be the best thing you could ever do for me because you would be doing it for the kids… If you can’t attend, please donate in my honor.’ Each week when the chancel choir ends its rehearsal, Rintamaa leads a prayer which says, in part “... grant that what we sing with our lips, we may believe in our hearts; and what we believe in our hearts, we may practice in our lives, so that being doers of the words and not hearers only we may receive everlasting life.” Michael Rintamaa lives by these words and his actions prove it. He will support a singer or musician in every aspect of their lives and their music — and his enthusiasm is, indeed, everlasting.

BETTER WHEN THEY WIN
THE MAN BEHIND THE VOICE OF THE WILDCATS BY JOSH CAUDILL
T
om Leach has covered Final Fours and national championships with the UK Wildcats. He’s covered a World Series and attended a SuperBowl. Earlier this year he was trackside for Justify’s Triple Crown victory. He describes with gratitude the fact that “the big events I grew up following as a kid, I’ve got to be a part of.”
As a junior in high school, he started working at a radio station in Paris. He fondly recalls that he still has a “scratchy copy of the first time I was on the air from September 16, 1977 over at Montgomery County...I was keeping stats and at halftime and at postgame, I would come on and do a report. I lobbied them for a job and they hired me to do that and that would be my two times to get on the air. Halftime because it would give the play-by-play and color guy a chance to go to the bathroom. I would come on for a few minutes and give some stats.”
L
each joined the UK Radio Network in 1989 and took over play-byplay voice for Kentucky football eight years later, adding the basketball responsibilities in 2001. His “office,” on many evenings this time of year, is “the best seat in Rupp Arena.” As early as middle school, Leach knew he wanted to grow up to be the voice of the UK Wildcats, though he admits, “I don’t think I fully appreciated how narrow the target was when I was in middle school.” Having won Eclipse Awards for his racing coverage, Leach has also been named Kentucky Sportscaster of the year five times. Still, he says, “I remember thinking I’d like to be in Cawood Ledford’s seat. I grew up listening to Cawood and Ralph [Hacker] do the Kentucky games and I grew up as a Reds fan so I heard Marty Brennaman and Joe Nuxhall so I always said that I had great training for being a play-by-play guy.” He was “trained” by “the people I grew up listening to—better than any class I could’ve taken.” Baseball was his first love and his favorite sport. Since he knew he wasn’t going to be a professional baseball player, he had to find a way to stay around sports.
He acknowledges, “I thought I was pretty good but I was awful. But that got me in the door and got [me] a job working weekends to be a DJ, produce some news, do some commercials, a little bit of everything.” He worked at the small station all through college and his first full-time job was in Mount Sterling.
R
etracing his career path, he says, “In the mid 90s, I had Jim [Host] critique a tape for me and he said, ‘You’re not ready for this.’ The thing about Jim is that he’s going to be straight with you. I remember at the time that it was a little deflating —because you’re thinking. ‘All my life, I’ve wanted this job and the guy who is going to hire me doesn’t think I’m ready and what if this comes open sometime soon?’’” “One high school in Lexington wanted to buy time on radio to do every game that season. They did that and Ralph [Hacker] encouraged me to take it and looking back, it was great advice
because I got to hone my skills doing a game every week. Like a golf swing, I got more repetitions and got better. By the time the job did come open, I was better prepared and had improved to the point that Jim felt I was ready for it.” “I went into the spring of 1997 and remember [in] interviewing that Ralph was in my corner, but Jim was going to make that decision. I remember walking out and not having any idea if I had the job or not. I got the call and was very excited, and a few years later Jim said, ‘Ralph is stepping down for basketball and I want you to do basketball.’” But at the beginning, he says, “I had a one year contract. I had mostly high school experience so it was a leap of faith for Jim. I didn’t have as much of a resume of college work as other people who wanted the job. I knew I needed to do well to keep the job. I had the job, now I needed to keep the job. I always say I’m grateful to Tim Couch, Hal Mumme and Craig Yeast for a lot of great moments in my first year that helped ingratiate me with the Kentucky fans.” He says, “When Jim Host hired me, he referenced how Claude Sullivan would pore through the media guides for facts and nuggets of information. He said the challenge for you is, ‘Your listeners shouldn’t read anything in the beat writer’s story the next day that they had not already heard on your broadcast the day before.’” He does his homework. “I’ve got a document on my computer I update on Sunday after every game and there’s a heading of records that could fall today—last block punt, last fumble returned for a touchdown, last 50-yard field goal—all kinds of facts that I can easily access... “Reading about the opponent, preparing the spotting board—and I do that by hand because that helps with the memorization process—I’ve got the Kentucky guys down usually by the time the season starts...The spotting boards are the ones Ralph gave me when I came to work for him in 1984 doing high school games.” He does not, however, practice his calls. “I think for a basketball game or a football game since there are so many ways it can end, that it will be very difficult to kind of script something. I try to
take it as it comes. The one that was a little different was the 2012 NCAA Championship game down in New Orleans. I thought Kentucky would win the game so as the day went on, I tried to think of different things that might seem appropriate to wrap it up. I didn’t write anything down, but I did think of it because something like that will have a life beyond the game.”
C
awood Ledford once told him, “You sound better when they win.” He says, “I have come to have great appreciation for Cawood’s line — and my first game, Tim Couch threw three touchdown passes in the first quarter up 21-0 on Louisville so there couldn’t be a better way to get started as the Kentucky broadcaster.”

He never loses sight of the legacy, adding, “The thing with Claude Sullivan and Cawood Ledford, they set the bar high. Ralph continued that. The Kentucky fans are going to let you know if you’re not doing the job because they expect excellence from their teams and their broadcasters and everything. I want to be able to stay at a high level and know when it’s time to step away because inevitably, “Father Time” is undefeated. Right now, it’s a great time to be Tom Leach. He says, “I love what I’m doing and I hope to continue to do it at a high level and going back to the Cawood line, ‘You sound better when they win’ —John Calipari has made us sound very good, and Mark Stoops is making me sound very good the last few years in football.” Full length interview and video at hamburgjournal.com

PUMPKIN SPICE SEASON? TRY ICE CREAM IN THE PUMPKIN PATCH BY TOM YATES
M
ake no mistake about it, we are ice cream people. Big time ice cream people. One year, in lieu of exchanging anniversary gifts, we pooled our money and bought a mack daddy tabletop ice cream maker. At any given moment on any given day, we’ll have some form of ice cream tucked away in the freezer. I can practically make it in my sleep. Some folks might think that ice cream is a seasonal treat. Seasonal, as in the summer season. Sure, there’s nothing better than bellying up to a cooling cone, bowl, or carton of ice cream on a blistering hot day. That said, it doesn’t have to be relegated to summer. Ice cream can be seasonally seasonal. The possibilities are endless. Kicking through the paths at the farmers’ market, stacks and stacks of sugar pumpkins lulled me into daydreaming about the upcoming holidays. Or, most importantly the food associated with the holidays. Thinking about the usual suspects, my drooling mind zeroed in on pumpkin ice cream. Why not? There’ll be pies galore wherever we turn. Pumpkin soup might even enter the picture. Pumpkin scones. Pumpkins biscuits. Pumpkin rolls. Pumpkin muffins. Pumpkin everything. Still, surrounded by pumpkins smack dab in the middle of an urban pumpkin patch, I drifted back to ice cream. Pumpkin ice cream. Eaten on its own, scooped onto warm pumpkin pie for a holiday double whammy, or dolloped into steaming hot coffee for a sweet creamy boost, pumpkin ice cream could possibly be the flavor bomb of the season. Because I’m not a baker, I’ve never given much thought to the debate surrounding the use of canned pumpkin versus fresh pumpkin. I have given a lot thought to knowing where my food comes from as well as the faces behind the food. So, canned or fresh? It’s pumpkin season right now, for pity’s sake. Why waste the riches?
Churn The easy part. I poured the pumpkin custard into the chilled ice cream canister, clamped on the lid, and let it rip for 25 minutes before scooping the ice cream into a plastic container and tossing into the freezer to set up.
Pumpkin Ice Cream Fresh Pumpkin I halved a smallish Madison County sugar pumpkin (sometimes referred to as pie pumpkin), scooped out the seeds, reserved the seeds, plopped the two halves onto a baking sheet cut side down, and slid them into a preheated oven to roast for 1 hour before pulling them from the oven to cool. When they were cool enough to handle, I scraped the soft yellow flesh into a food mill and turned it into a delicate puree. After a quick whisk, I slid it into the refrigerator to chill for a couple of hours. Custard Gosh, I’ve tried every ratio possible. In the end, I used my tried and true method. Using an electric hand held mixer (old school), I whipped 5 egg yolks with 1 cup light brown sugar, 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon, 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger, and 1/4 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg. After heating 1 1/2 cups heavy cream combined with 1 1/2 cups whole milk to a low simmer, I gradually mixed the warmed dairy with the egg mixture to temper the eggs before adding the combined mixture back to the simmering cream. When the custard was thick enough to coat the back of a wooden spoon, I strained it through a fine mesh strainer, and added 2 teaspoons of thick Madagascar Bourbon pure vanilla bean extract before blending it with 1 1/4 cups of the chilled fresh pumpkin puree. Thinking it was still a bit grainy from the puree, I passed it through the mesh strainer again for a smoother consistency and slid it into the refrigerator to chill.
Gilding the Lily The seeds were a no brainer. I rinsed the seeds under warm water to release them from the fibrous pulp and dried them with a clean dish towel before tossing them with 2 tablespoons melted butter, 1 heaping tablespoon sugar, a dusting of cinnamon, and a pinch of sea salt. After a quick mix, I slid the seeds into a 350 oven for about 8-10 minutes to toast and caramelize.
Maple Spun Sugar Here’s the deal, I might not excel at sweets, but I can spin sugar. Although it can be dangerously tricky, it’s actually quite simple and fun. Now, I didn’t want to go all croquembouche, spinning fine delicate sugar threads all over the kitchen like a whirling dervish. I wanted sturdy shards of shatteringly crunchable spun sugar. Edible sugar glass. I combined 1 cup sugar with 1/2 water, 1 tablespoon corn syrup, and 1 teaspoon pure maple syrup in a small cast iron skillet. After cranking the heat to medium, the sugar and corn syrup slowly dissolved into the water. Without stirring, I let the mixture bubble and rip until it reached the hard crack stage, 300-312 degrees on a candy thermometer. Working quickly and very carefully, I drizzled and twirled the molten maple sugar concoction over a non-stick silicone mat. It was a one shot deal. Spun sugar has a mind of its own. It waits for no one. Just before the melted amber sugar solidified into maple stained glass, I scattered a few candied pumpkins seeds into the lacy shards.

The October reading will be Sing, Unburied, Sing by Jesmyn Ward and will be discussed on October 4 and 18 at the Lexington Senior Center. Jesmyn Ward, the historic winner of two National Book Awards is the author of this 2017 winner for fiction. Sing, Unburied, Sing is an intimate portrait of a family and an epic tale of hope and struggle. It examines the sometimes ugly truths at the heart of the American story and the power – and limitations – of family bonds. Jojo is thirteen years old and trying to understand what it means to be a man. His mother, Leonie, is in constant conflict with herself and those around her. She is black and her children’s father is white. Embattled in ways that reflect the brutal reality of her circumstances, she wants to be a better mother, but can’t put her children above her own needs, especially her drug use. When the children’s father is released from prison, Leonie packs her kids and a friend into her car and drives
north to the heart of Mississippi and Parchman Farm, the State Penitentiary. At Parchman, there is another boy, the ghost of a dead inmate who carries all of the ugly history of the South with him in his wandering. He too has something to teach Jojo about fathers and sons, about legacies, about violence, about love.
