Kincaid Partners with Clark Regional Medical Center

From the keyboard of Pam Hedge

What a Hectic Month! I’m guessing that life just doesn’t slow down, does it? I keep thinking the older I get, the less I’ll be doing. The funny part is though ... the older I get, the less time I have on this earth to get everything accomplished. Young people --- you need to remember this in your twenties. Time passes quickly and pretty soon you’ll be thinkin’ the same way I do. Slow down!!! ••••••

After being up for almost 30 hours straight, I managed to get a few hours of sleep before boarding an airplane for Las Vegas. Now, some might say “Las Vegas, how fun.” Not me. Being from the West Coast, Vegas was not a new destination for me. I find that it usually saddens me visiting that city. I did more praying for people than I did throwing money away. In fact, I didn’t put a single dollar into a machine until I was at the airport ready to leave. And no, I didn’t win anything. Never do though, that’s why I very rarely

We barely got the June edition of the magazine delivered and it was time to help out with our local Relay for Life event. Dave and I have done this for the past five years and it brings us such joy. I say that now because we’ve recovered. About 4am each year, we look at each other and decide maybe it’s time to give it up to someone younger than us. Of course, about the time we said that, we both noticed Jerry Arnold still walking around the track in honor of Nancy and decided, nope - we’ll keep it up next year too. For those that didn’t attend, Dave and I were the silly clowns you saw walking around and irritating people! You just never know what we will come up with from year to year. ••••••

Callie’s Lake & Campground is Open For Business

Have you heard about Callie’s Lake and Campground in the Red River Gorge, Kentucky? Located at 5515 Campton Road outside of Stanton, Kentucky, Callie’s Lake and Campground offers camping and fishing activities in Eastern Kentucky. Their fifty acre campground, which includes a four acre lake, is located within the Daniel Boone National Forest. The lake is fully stocked. There are plenty of trails to hike for the nature lovers, geological buffs, and history buffs. Geocaching is very popular and played in this area as well. The campground is located minutes from Nada Tunnel, five miles from Red River Gorge, and approximately eight miles from Natural Bridge State Park and the Sky Lift. You’ll find a safe, clean, and beautiful place to camp and fish (catch and release at this time).They have over 30 level and clean primitive campsites with fire rings, picnic tables, and gravel driveways for tents and RV sites. Owned by Shane Bowen of Stanton, the campground is named for his grandmother Callie - and the name Callie remains in the family as Shane’s daughter was given the same name. After Shane acquired the property it was his dream to see it transformed back into a campground. He has worked so very hard to make it happen. With the help of his girlfriend and partner Dee Dotson he now has hookups and his dream has finally become reality. In addition to considering Callie’s Lake and Campground for your next camping adventure, they also invite Callie’s covered bandstand. you to consider them for weddings, family reunions, and concerts. There is a beautiful gazebo area and a covered bandstand. When traveling to the Gorge, don’t forget your camera because the sunsets are stunning!

The Coolest Place in the Gorge

Grotto

Continued from page 6

Upon arriving, you are greeted by the guides at a big hole in a rock wall. A big square hole. The Grotto is a former underground mine that has flooded. As you enter you can feel the cooler air coming from underground. The water is crystal clear, but very cold. You’ll also see old equipment left in the mine when it flooded. The mine was shut down and they just walked away. The pumps were shut off in 1985. As you paddle your way through the catacombs, you’ll notice the limestone was carved out of very large rocks under water. Makes you think of a time gone by. Ian has even seen footprints left by the men that worked the mine the last days it was open.

There will be many improvements made in the next few years to this newest Gorge attraction. As we paddled through the mine, it was explained that this was the coolest place in the Gorge. It remains at a constant 55°F in the deepest part of the Grotto. I don’t want to ruin it for anyone, so I will end this by suggesting you try this new adventure when you are in the area. On a warm day, when you want a break from hiking, stop in and visit the coolest place in the Gorge … The Gorge Grotto.

Wilderness Wanderings . . .

By Bill Gordon Stanton, KY

“If You Build It… They Will Come” I love water. Clean water. Water for fish and frogs, water to swim in and to take cooling summer showers, and for gliding along silently in a canoe or swimming slowly with mask and snorkel; … water for the whole gamut of wildlife to share drinks, spawning habitat, and protection, …and for watching, just sitting nearby and patiently observing the wonders of life all around through the lens of this liquid environment. Here on the Highlands property I have built eighteen ponds of various sizes and purposes, each unique unto itself with characteristics that are growing from both the intended design and from the naturally-occurring changes as they mature. I started building water features soon after purchasing the property. You see, generations of misuse and abuse had severely altered the land in this watershed area. There were two pioneer homestead sites on the property, the evidence remaining included the hand-dug, rock-lined wells, a crumbling dry stone chimney, bits of broken glass and pottery, and the occasional piece of rusted iron found in the creek bed. Near one cabin site there was a low wet area that had been used as a dump. First came months of cleaning, properly disposing of the trash and recycling all glass and metal.

Then I dug a small pond for wildlife about 40 feet across. After digging down into the soft, wet clay soil about eight feet deep the bulldozer operator got stuck and actually started sinking into a bed of soft grey clay, and we spent a couple frantic hours tossing rocks and branches under the treads as he tried to free the heavy machine from the ooze. Just before dark he was able to climb out of the hole and get the machine on solid ground. He said he was about ready to hike out and call a friend to come the next morning with another bulldozer to pull him out...a very expensive proposition. In the morning when I walked back to the pond site, it was brim full of water, and has been full ever since. Soon after construction I added some water lily root stock and scattered a native wetland seed mix around the pond edge. It has matured over the past ten years and is a magnet for all types of wildlife, and the abundant insect and amphibian populations are a real boost to the bottom levels of the food chain. It is here I’ve seen a doe with her newborn fawn cautiously lean down to drink at the pond edge, and herons stand motionless while fishing for frogs. I’ve sat and gazed in wonder at the beauty of a plum-colored red July 2016 -- www.atcky.com

water lily blossom on a summer afternoon, and near the pond edge we sighted the first Black Bear tracks here and “still warm and wet” poop as I walked a field trip group on a nearby trail. And it was here we witnessed that magical moment one summer when young Wood Frogs decided “in-masse” to leave the water environment where they were born in late winter, and migrate into the surrounding forest to spend their adult lives as woodland critters, only returning briefly to this same pond each February to mate and lay eggs. There were hundreds of tiny frogs emerging from the pond and hopping all about our feet as they ventured off into the forested hillsides. Eastern Kentucky has been timbered at least several times or more. In the beginning, these steep mountainsides and deep “hollers” were nearly clear-cut for construction timber and fuel for iron furnaces that dotted the area. At one time Kentucky was the nation’s top producer of iron. Before this, there would have been huge old growth trees here, massive Hemlocks and Black Walnuts in the valleys and Oaks, Hickories, and Chestnuts on the ridges. Some would be six or eight feet in diameter, perhaps larger; how big we really just don’t know. Beavers would be abundant in my two streams, and the valley would have a series of beaver ponds teeming with fish, waterfowl, and all sorts of other wildlife. The stream riffles would oxygenate the water, and the gravel bottom would provide excellent spawning habitat for Crayfish and Mayflies, Damselflies and Caddisflies, and the fish that would feed on all of them. When timber was stripped off these steep hillsides, rain washed away the spongy forest humus soil, and the forest lost its ability to soak up and retain water. Erosion gullies quickly formed and thousands of tons of soil washed into the streams silting the gravel bottom and destroying the spawning habitat and food supplies for all types of fish, birds, and mammals. My one creek was essentially a dry creek bed with a logging road bulldozed right up its middle when I bought the property. A hard rain would cause immediate flooding; brown, silty water; and lots of stream bank erosion. The next day the creek would be dry. It felt like the land was slowly bleeding to death. I built a half dozen ponds along the base of the hillsides, and a like number up on higher ground, where rain runoff first gathered in erosion ditches on its destructive path downhill. These ponds, built as erosion control basins and sediment catchment basins, did their part in trapping silt and gravel before it entered the stream, and retained water that now slowly seeps down into the stream on a continuous basis. The ponds also provided excellent wildlife habitat, drinking sources, and food supplies. The erosion gullies and old eroded logging roads were repaired or removed, and native grasses and thousands of trees were planted. As a result I now have water in the stream year round; lots of macroinvertebrate life providing food sources; small stream fish migrating back into the valley; and many miles of hiking trails winding through the watershed area. There was at one time a two-story frame house in this valley, home to a hardscrabble farmer, who plowed the bottomlands for corn and tobacco crops and grazed cattle on the steep second-growth hillsides. I’m told the farm was lost in foreclosure back in the 1960’s, and as a final act of defiance, the owner set the house ablaze and left the area. The bank had a bulldozer dig a big pit, and a burned out car, tractor, truck, and house remains were all buried in it. I built a pond on the site, and where the house once stood, on a summer’s day I now sit on a nice dock watching warblers feeding on newlyemerging adult insects in the morning, or hummingbirds flitting over the pond surface after tiny insects in the afternoon, and bats skimming the surface for drinks in the evening. This pond provides a meal of fresh Bass or Catfish when needed, and refreshing skinnydip swims are a lifesaver during the dog days of August. July 2016 -- www.atcky.com

A woodland pond offers up secrets unique and special owing to its location in the deep woods. When I built the first one the bulldozer exposed a big boulder, about like a VW Beetle. We left it in place and worked around it. Soon after, we cut into a spring seeping clear, cold water into the pond area. This pond is always full with cold mountain spring water. I can swim out and stand on the big rock, with my shoulders in warm surface water and my feet in the cold. Summer sunlight filters down through the trees in places, sparkling on the mostly-shaded pond surface. This is a place of serenity and quiet, a place to sit and observe, collect your thoughts, and relax a bit from our too-busy lifestyles. I’ve built some shallow wetlands that look like miniature swamps, watering holes for wildlife, ephemeral pools that sometimes dry in late summer, and deep ponds for fish and swimming; but one thing remains true and always amazes me with every project. As soon as you dig a hole and get some water in it…even a couple inches from a next day rain shower; when you check it you’ll see a frog or turtle floating blissfully in it, deer or raccoon or bird tracks along the edge, and a Dragonfly darting overhead. Remember the Kevin Costner movie Field of Dreams and the iconic phrase “If you build it they will come?” Well, with ponds this is certainly true. Water is essential for life, and it is of primary importance in our efforts to improve and restore our local environment for future generations. We have taken for granted this precious commodity for generations, and have squandered, flushed, and squirted away this resource as if it was in endless supply, without concern or care. Every lake, stream, river, and pond in Kentucky is polluted in varying degree, and still we continue to use our water resources to dump our garbage, flush in sewage, get saturated with acid mine and industrial waste, get flooded with a toxic cocktail of lawn chemicals, cleaning detergents, ag fertilizers, herbicides and pesticides, and a host of other biohazards that are a part of the everyday American lifestyle. Add to the mix is the newest insanity of off-road vehicles whose owners seek out any and every possible bit of water or mud hole to drive through, disregarding private property boundaries and any real sense of environmental awareness. What we haven’t yet learned is that the earth is just a whole lot bigger representation of ourselves. What we do the earth we do to ourselves. See you in the woods, sometime soon,

A group of concerned citizens will hold a rally on Saturday, July 16 from 5:00 to 8:00 p.m. at the football field at Estill County High School, which sits directly across Route 89 from Advanced Disposal’s Blue Ridge Landfill in Irvine, Kentucky. The rally is a call for action on the reported illegal dumping of nearly 2000 tons of radioactive fracking waste at the landfill. The rally aims to draw increased attention to the hazards of such waste, to share what is known about the situation, and to advocate for full disclosure of all chemical testing done by state agencies in and around the landfill. Moving forward, the group plans to call for a permanent solution that will guarantee the safety of residents in Estill County and communities downstream.

The citizens are lining up speakers to discuss the dumping of radioactive fracking waste in Estill County and particular concerns community members have about it. A number of local community organizations are invited to participate, including churches, civic groups, and environmental advocates. The illegal dumping was first reported in early March when Kentucky state officials cited Advanced Disposal for accepting numerous shipments of concentrated waste produced by unconventional natural gas drilling, also known as fracking. Such waste commonly contains high levels of natural radioactive elements such as uranium, thorium, and radium. State agencies have conducted testing of air and water at the landfill site, but officials have rejected requests that they release the results of those tests, citing an “on-going criminal investigation.”

Maintain Your Cool! By Jerry Ison

While it’s true that you usually can’t beat the odds, you can beat the heat. Your body is designed to regulate its temperature and it does a good job most of the time. The problems start when weather conditions are so extreme that the body’s cooling system is over taxed. The trick is to help your body regulate its temperature within a tolerable range. When all systems are working properly, blood works much like Freon by carrying heat built up in the body out to the skin. Here the skin acts like the coils of an airconditioner and releases the heat into the air. Too much heat for the skin to handle alone and the sweat glands swing into action. The evaporation of sweat pulls heat from the skin and thus has a cooling effect on the body. This system of cooling works pretty well as long as the air temperature is cooler than the body or while the relative humidity is low enough that the air can still hold more moisture. As the air temperature approaches body temperature, less and less heat is lost by the skin. As air saturation nears 100%, sweating has little or no cooling effect. That’s when we must help our body’s cooling systems operate more efficiently.

Here are ten easy ways to help your body keep its cool. You probably already know all this, but, hey, maybe one of these tidbits will hit a note with ya’.

1. Be shady. Avoid direct sunlight whenever possible. Wear a wide 2.

brimmed hat. Don’t walk on the sunny side of the street. Take an afternoon siesta. Drink cool. Water is best. Fruit juices, iced tea, caffeine-free

Shirts & Keepsakes • Walking Sticks • Toys for Children • Candy • Fishing Supplies • Souvenirs • Wind Chimes • Candles • So Much More!

soda pop (avoid really sweet drinks); skim milk and thirst quenchers are good. Drink even though you aren’t thirsty. Avoid alcoholic drinks as they don’t really replace fluids lost through sweating. 3. Dress cool. Light colored clothes reflect a good bit of the sunlight. Loose fitting, lightweight clothes will allow the air to reach your skin so it can carry heat away. Binding clothes not only feel hot, they tend to hold in the heat. 4. Eat cool. Your body generates heat by processing food. Eat small amounts more often instead of a few big meals. Keep your eating schedule and have meals that are varied. Vegetable and fruits help replace minerals such as the sodium lost by sweating. 5. Be your own fan. Remember those paper fans the congregation used in Mayberry? A stiff piece of cardboard will work almost as well. Fanning yourself will cause the moving air to carry away heat coming off your skin. And it helps the evaporation of sweat, increasing the cooling effect. 6. Work cool. Do outside chores early in the morning or after the sun is low in the western sky. If you must work outside in the heat of the day, do so in small chunks with a reasonable rest between efforts. Keep plenty of fluids close by and drink regularly. Rest in a shaded area. 7. It’s cool to be fit. Don’t let yourself get run down. Get plenty of sleep. Take numerous rest breaks. A healthy body resists the heat best. 8. Shades are cool. Wear sunglasses that block ultraviolet. Then you won’t have to squint which tends to have a tiring effect. Being comfortable seems to make heat more tolerable. 9. Water is cool. Go jump in the lake, the pool, pond or river. Take frequent baths or showers. The water carries away great quantities of heat from the skin, continues to cool through evaporation. And of course, nothing refreshes like a long cleansing shower. 10. Sunburn isn’t cool. A sunburned area creates even more heat and problems for your body to deal with, as well as all the other health risks inherent. Avoid sunburn by avoiding too much sun for too long and use a sunscreen with an SPF of 15 or more. Your skin will look and feel better much longer

Safe handling of chicks According to Jacqueline Jacob, UK extension poultry project manager, the intestinal tracts of all mammals have various types of bacteria as part of their natural intestinal microflora. There are many opportunities for young children to be exposed to these bacteria, such as pets, friends, etc. Our state’s most recent salmonella outbreak is a harsh reminder of this as many of the victims are children.

Eric Baker

Some types of bacteria may cause diseases like salmonella in susceptible humans. When dealing with animals in any situation personal hygiene is important. This is especially true when handling chicks in your backyard and small poultry flocks. Here are some reminders of proper hygiene practices.

Estill County Extension Office

Alternative vegetable may be just right for Kentucky gardens While it’s definitely not the prettiest vegetable at harvest time, celeriac has many potential uses and may be a natural fit for Kentucky gardeners. “This is a vegetable that dates back to the Middle Ages in Europe,” said John Strang, horticulture specialist for the University of Kentucky College of Agriculture, Food and Environment. “It’s also known as turnip-rooted celery, knob celery, and what many people maybe more familiar with… celery root. Celery is typically difficult to grow in Kentucky, but celeriac thrives and has nearly zero pest or disease problems.” Celeriac is related to celery. The entire plant looks like and even smells like celery, however it’s the root that stands out. Cooks use it much like a potato; they peel it then roast it, steam it, mash it, blanch it or use chunks or slices in stews and soups. Strang said it is a long-season crop, taking more than 110 days to mature, but gardeners can harvest the root at all different sizes. Most gardeners harvest celeriac in the fall. “A great thing about celeriac is that you can store it for six to eight months,” Strang said. “Storing it longer is possible, but you may lose flavor and the texture could change. It is a good source of fiber, and it only has about 30 calories per cup.” Strang said gardeners should grow celeriac in full sun to partial shade and that it needs a moist environment with good drainage. This year Jesse Dahl, horticulturalist at The Arboretum on UK’s campus in Lexington, is growing a small crop of celeriac with the help of volunteers. Volunteers work in the garden and learn about different crops and garden techniques and then donate produce to local organizations that feed the hungry.

Hand-washing is necessary to reduce any risk of bacterial infections. Wash your hands after coming in contact with any animals, birds or eggs. Proper hand-washing techniques include using soap and warm running water and rubbing your hands together vigorously for at least 20 seconds. Make sure you wash the back of your hands and wrists, in between fingers and under your fingernails. Rinse well and thoroughly dry your hands with a paper towel. Turn off faucets with your elbow or a paper towel. If there is no access to running water, you should use antibacterial hand sanitizers or wipes with at least a 99 percent bacterial kill rate and then wash your hands as described above as soon as possible. Supervise children when handling birds or animals. Don’t allow them to nuzzle or kiss animals, chicks and ducklings. Don’t allow children to touch their mouths or eyes with their hands during or after handling animals and birds prior to hand washing. Make sure children don’t eat and drink before thoroughly washing their hands. You can do a few other things to reduce your risk of exposure of bacteria. Always clean and sanitize an incubator prior to incubating eggs and only set clean eggs from a reliable source. To prevent the potential transmission of bacteria from adults and children to your chicks or eggs, make sure to wash your hands prior to handling the eggs or birds. You should always thoroughly clean any surfaces that have been contaminated with animal feces. Clean and sanitize the incubator immediately after use and properly dispose of the shells and eggs that do not hatch. For more information, contact your local Cooperative Extension Service office or Estill County Extension at 606-723-4557. Educational programs of the Kentucky Cooperative Extension Service serve all people regardless of race, color, age, sex, religion, disability or national origin.

Reasons to use Honey and Uncle Bob’s Cinnamon Mixtures Poetry By Theresa Delaware Honey is not just a word for affection, it has amazing healing powers and benefits for our body. For centuries honey was used in battle fields for healing wounds, know for its anti-inflammatory and antibacterial properties. Honey is also a great buster for your immune system. This is why we need to take care of the Honey bees, they are rapidly dieing from all the chemicals we are using on plants. With all the GMO’s (“GMO” stands for “genetically modified organism”) . It has a natural sweetness that is capability of preventing a number of hazardous pathogens by mixing it with Cinnamon. When honey is mixed with Cinnamon the two together can cure many ailments in our bodies. Chinese experts believe that cinnamon is HOT and produces heat in the body called “Yang” Yang heals. Honey is Cold which produces coldness in the body called “Yin”. Yang and Yin balance each other. Honey “Yin” and Cinnamon “Yang” are the same balancing each other. There is so many reasons to use Cinnamon and it has been proven down through the ages to work some small miracles and heal lots of aliments. Cinnamon has a long history of use in traditional medicine, but there is little to zero evidence that it is useful to treat any medical conditions. Here is a few thing I have found this mixture is good for:

• ARTHRITIS: Take daily morning and night, one cup of hot water with 2 teaspoons of honey • • • • •

and 1 small teaspoon of cinnamon powder. Taken regularly can be cured, even Chronic arthritis. Urinal Tract Infection: E.coli is the main cause for UTI’s, this can be destroyed by cinnamon zeylanicium ( anti-inflammatory, antifungal) and honey antibacterial concoction. CHOLESTERAL: 2 tablespoons of honey and 3 teaspoons of cinnamon powder mixed with 16 oz. of tea water reduces the level of cholesterol in the blood by 10 percent within 2 hours. Heart Diseases: Make a paste of honey and cinnamon powder. apply to wheat-bread ( toast if desired) for a breakfast to reduce the cholesterol in the arteries and save you from heart attack. Cinnamon has been known to lower blood pressure when taken with magnesium and B6. Upset Stomach: Honey being a pre-digested nectar (being antibacterial) and cinnamon also being antibacterial substance helps in curing issues like constipation, ulcers, and nausea. Honey is easily broken down in the stomach while cinnamon kills all unwanted bacteria in the digestive walls. Indigestion: Cinnamon powder sprinkled on 2 tablespoons of honey taken before food relieves acidity and digests the heaviest of meals.

Early Morning I love the early morning hours Before the break of dawn, For it is my special time to meditate. To hear the birds sing in the trees And watch the sun come up, I never have been one for sleeping late. In this great big world we live in Folks are running to and fro Some of them can’t see the forest for the trees. They overlook the little things God gave us to enjoy, Like the peaceful feeling of a gentle breeze. There is a place I love to visit That’s so peaceful and serene A place where it is summer all the time. Where the neighbor kids and I would play On the banks of Trough Camp Creek all day, And In the winter months, I go there in my mind. Another place I liked to be Was underneath a willow tree With weeping branches hanging to the ground. Hazel Garvin has to be A saint for putting up with me For all the times she let me hang around. Thanks for being my second mom I love you and always will. (In July Hazel will be 101 years old)

The 7th month of the year brings us Independence Day and Canada Day.

In the Georgian calendar, the calendar that most of the world uses, July is the seventh month. However, on the Roman calendar, it was actually the fifth month and was call Quintilis, which meant fifth. Later in 46 B.C., Caesar gave 31 days and the Roman Senates named the month Julius in honor of Caesar. In northern hemisphere, July is usually the hottest month of the year when it is actually a winter time in southern hemisphere. It gets very cold in Antarctica and cold and rainy in South America. Because there isn’t much rain in July, the grass loses its greenness. Moreover, the abundance of flowers and insects occur in July. Below are some fun facts about July: 1. The birthstone for July is the Ruby. 2. The zodiac signs for July are Cancer (June 21 - July 22) and Leo (July 23 - August 22)
