ur cover this month features, Sawyer, daughter of Tressa Wilham who is the director, owner and instructor of Academy for Movement and the Performing Arts (AMPA). Although Sawyer is just two years old, she is already practicing her dance moves so she can dance like the ‘big girls’ at the studio. Pictured with Sawyer on our cover this month are McKenna Brown, Chanyng Floyd, Alex Lamm and Kelsea White. They represent all the wonderful dancers at AMPA. The Academy of Movement and Performing Arts (better known as AMPA to its students) is the area’s premier dance studio. Voted Paducah’s ‘Best Dance Studio’ for the third year in 2015, by the readers of the Paducah Sun. AMPA is the place to train if your goal is to learn proper technique in a fun, family atmosphere.
Building character, inspiring passion ‘AMPA was founded in 2009 under the direction of Tressa Wilham. Her primary goal is to instill students with values that they can take with them and use throughout their life. Confidence, poise, perseverance, and self-motivation are just a few of the character traits that come with being a dancer at AMPA. These are in addition to learning time management, commitment, and team work. Wilham, prides herself on providing professional dance training, top-of-the-line dance facilities, and exposure to nationally known dance choreographers. “There is so much more to dance than steps and tech8 • July 2015 ilistwesternkentucky.com

nique,” Wilham explained. “A dancer is a storyteller, an actress and an athlete. Dancers are performers who are courageous enough to share their passion and personality on a stage with an audience full of strangers. Not many sports out there force you to truly ‘find yourself’ in order to be successful. Dance does just this. At a young age, dance teaches students that it is what is on the inside that truly counts. Dance has to come from the heart, or it’s just steps.”
Why choose AMPA? Located in Jordan’s Crossing behind Kentucky Oaks Mall, AMPA takes great pride in offering one of the best facility in the area. With 5,500 square feet of space, the school offers three dance rooms all with full length mirrors, Bose sound systems and Marley dance floor surfaces. It is the only studio in the area to offer state of the art ‘floating dance floors’ (the best floors for dancers as
At AMPA, the students always come first. In addition to the dance floors the facility is has a spacious waiting room where dancers ‘feel at home’ while waiting for class to start. AMPA offers some of the most enthusiastic, educated staff members in the area. All of the teachers at AMPA have a college degree: They have studied and performed dance at a college level and beyond. The staff are truly passionate about dance, and more importantly, genuinely love working with children. “We try to be so much more than just a ‘teacher’ in the kids’ lives, “says Wilham. “We want to help our students grow with self-esteem; we can’t think of a better way to build their confidence than to educate them with the gift of dance and music. There is no greater feeling as a teacher than to see your students up on the stage having the time of their life.” For a complete list of dance teachers and their biographies, please visit myampa.com.

t started because of a stray dog, a mistreated BrusselsGriffon, to be precise. Lisa Lauck, already a dog owner, rescued Bella from a breeder in southern Illinois in November 2009. After taking her home, the two developed a special bond. One day in May 2010, Bella, who was deathly afraid of men, was spooked and ran off while they were visiting a friend’s house. Lauck and the friend, Christie Bell, started a Facebook page for Bella hoping to locate her. They never found Bella but they did find something else - a community of people who cared about missing, abused or homeless animals and wanted to do something about it. The Facebook page grew into Missing Bella, a 501c3 non-profit organization, that Lauck and Bell run in addition to their day jobs.
12 • July 2015 ilistwesternkentucky.com
Lauck is the Marketing Director for the Carson Center and Bell is the Event Planner for Cosmo Beauty Systems. The dynamic duo are both avid animal lovers. Lauck currently has five dogs, two cats, and a bird. Bell has seven dogs. Between the two of them, they have fostered over 150 animals.
Missing Bella Missing Bella is animal advocacy organization that seeks to rescue pets and find humane homes for them. Their main goal is to improve the quality of these animals’ lives. A typical post on the Facebook page is either one about a found animal that needs a home, an animal at the shelter that will
be euthanized and needs to be rescued, or a successful adoption story. “It shows the power of social media,” Bell said. “I’ve got into my car and driven as far as Lexington or Louisville to pick up dogs.” Both Lauck and Bell have spent many weekends helping with transports taking dogs from high kill shelters to rescues up north where the spay and neuter laws are much more strict.
A Voice for the Voiceless “When you’re involved with something like this, you’ve seen good and you’ve seen really bad,” Lauck said. “Some of the stuff that we’ve seen…sometimes I wish I could un-see it.” Bell told a story of a Boxer she rescued who had suffered broken bones, leading to a necessary leg amputation. After putting it on Missing Bella, a couple from Tennessee came to see the dog. “They had adopted two kids, and their fouryear-old little boy had leukemia,” Bell told me. “When he met the dog, he saw his handicap and said; ‘Oh, something’s wrong with him, just like me.’ I cried,” she confessed. The couple adopted the Boxer.
Be a part of Animal Advocacy Missing Bella has started and hosted Howl-oween in the park for dogs, a golf tournament, and other events to benefit animals. Your and your furry friends can be a part of these fundraising activities. The money they have raised has gone to help animal advocacy groups in the area such as Creatures Great and Small and Guardians of Rescue. In 2014, Missing Bella raised over $6,000 for various animal organizations. This year, they are focusing on their new Spay and Neuter Program.
Dylan’s Dawgz Spay and Neuter Program Bell’s son, Dylan, was Lauck and Bell’s ‘partner-in-crime’. “We would say; oh there’s this dog on so-and-so street. [Dylan] would grab the leashes and a pack of hot dogs or dog treats. He knew the routine,” Bell said. “He would go to shelters, clean out cages, bathe animals.”
ilistwesternkentucky.com July 2015 • 13
Tragically, Dylan was the victim of a fatal car accident on Cairo Road when he was just 19 years old. The Dylan’s Dawgz Spay and Neuter Program has been formed in his honor. Dylan’s catchphrase, “What’s up dawg?” influenced the title.
lem - too may dogs and cats,” said Bell. “People are finally listening, but in terms of stopping overpopulation and animal abuse, there is still a long way to go. By helping people get their animals spayed and neutered, and reducing the number of unwanted animals, we reduce animal abuse and euthanasia.” Participants pay $25 toward the outpatient procedure and Dylan’s Dawgz covers the rest of the cost. Participating veterinary clinics are Flanary Veterinary Clinic and Ceglinski Animal Clinic.
“With all the animals in shelters and on the streets, we want to get to the root of the prob-
“Just walk into any animal shelter and look at all the animals that have no home,” Bell said. “That’s why spaying and neutering is so important.” Spaying and neutering is known to prolong animals’ lives, reduce risk of cancer, make an animal calmer, and keep the animal healthier.* Over 2.7 million animals are euthanized in shelters every year. Millions more are on the streets without nurturing homes. The goal of Dylan’s Dawgz is to finance at least 50 surgeries in 2015. They hope to spay and neuter 500 dogs in 2016.
Home Brave of the
Lauck stressed the importance of pet owners educating themselves on the advantages of spaying and neutering. People say we care more for animals than kids, but that’s not true,” Lauck told me. “Animals can’t speak, they don’t have a voice.” It is a sobering fact that statistics have shown when someone abuses an animal, their child may be next.

A Foodie Celebration for Independence Day
M
usic, fireworks, festivals, reunions, political rallies, libations and food – it must be Independence Day in the USA! We have celebrated the adoption of the Declaration of Independence from the very beginning. Somehow I think the early celebrations were a bit different than our modern gatherings. Can you see yourself dressed as George Washington or John Hancock sitting on the side of the river in 95 degree heat listening to a brass band and watching fireworks?
Ye Olde July 4th Oddly enough, that’s about what happened. Independence Day celebrations have been held as far back as 1777, where gatherings over food discussed the politics of the day and
remembered our national history. Food has always been a part of this celebration, but of course, the menus have changed, largely due to faster transportation and the refrigeration that we enjoy today. You couldn’t just run down to the local grocery store in 1777 and come home with barbeque and potato salad! It won’t be much of surprise to most people that barbecue has been a mainstay of July 4th for 200 years. A Lexington, KY newspaper from July 3, 1815 had a large advertisement for a whole hog barbecue dinner. The 'bra' lads and 'bonnie lassies' unite in celebrating the independence of our country, and on the happy occasion fully partake of 'foreign and domestic liquors' and of a hog broiled whole, or Barbecue - a word they barbarously spell Barbacue". Originally spelled Barbaque. There will be an elegant arbor and seats prepared for the ladies and gentlemen, to amuse themselves in dancing. Excellent music is engaged for that purpose. Foreign liquors of the best quality for the LADIES - the gentlemen will have free access to the use of domestic liquors. Tickets of admittance - two dollars - there will be no expense omitted to render the entertainment brilliant and interesting.*1 In 1868, New Englanders marked Independence Day with seasonal fare. Tradition has it that salmon, peas, and new potatoes made up one common menu. Nathan Fish confirms part of this in his diary entry or 4 July 1868: 'Had salmon, Peas and beans.' A whole poached or baked salmon, often served with an egg sauce, made an impressive centerpiece. Salmon, because of its size, firm texture, and flavor, conveyed more status and elegance to a meal than, for example, cod or haddock. Green peas and new potatoes at dinner meant the last of fresh peas before hot weather and the earliest of new potatoes. According to his diary, Nathan Fish didn’t have new potatoes that year until two weeks after the Fourth. The beans he speaks of could have been early green beans; it was a little too early for shell beans. *2

Grilling Out Today, most people are still grilling or cooking barbeque to celebrate our independence. The menus are varied, but it’s more because of personal preference rather than geographic isolation or lack of options. Burgers, brats, fried fish, barbeque, or fried chicken are all completely acceptable main courses for this holiday. We are also lucky enough to have a bounty of produce this time of year. These newly harvested food options will influence my choices for our Independence Day celebration. Fresh corn on the cob and green beans are favorites of mine. There is also nothing quite like red skinned potato salad, served, still warm, and with some fried chicken.
Remember the Red, White & Blue I plan to make a sponge cake and decorate it with fresh strawberries (or raspberries), whipped cream, and blueberries. Here’s the recipe I use which is simple and had only a few ingredients: Victoria Sponge Cake 8 oz butter softened 8 oz granulated sugar 4 medium eggs 2 tsp Vanilla extract 8 oz self-rising flour Milk, just a little if batter is too thick
1 pint heavy cream for whipping or use your favorite whipped cream Fresh blueberries and strawberries or raspberries for decoration 1. Preheat the oven to 350 F. 2. Cut parchment paper to fit the bottom of two cake pans. Grease the pans with butter and then place the paper in the bottom. 3. Cream together the butter and sugar until fluffy. 4. Beat in the eggs and vanilla into the butter mixture. 5. Fold in the flour using a spatula or wooden spoon adding a little milk if needed to get a batter with a soft dropping consistency. 6. Divide the mixture between the cake pans and spread with a spatula. 7. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes or until golden brown and a toothpick inserted comes out clean. 8. Remove from the oven and set aside for 5 minutes, then remove from the pan, peel off the paper and allow cake to cool completely on a wire rack. 9. Whip the cream. 10. Place a layer of whipped cream and fruit on the bottom cake and place the second cake on top. Put a layer of whipped cream and fruit on top. Refrigerate and serve cool or warm to room temperature. *1 Salem Gazette, New York Courier [New York City], July 3, 1815 (p. 2) *2 Saltwater Foodways, Sandra L.

G
ot squash? Of course you do! Right now, gardens, roadside stands, and farmer's markets are virtually overflowing with summer squash of all shapes, sizes, and colors. From fat, green zucchini to cute little, flying saucer-shaped pattypan squash, these ubiquitous gourds tempt us with their variety, ease of growth, and, at the market, dirt-cheap pricing.
What is perhaps a little more challenging is figuring out what to do with the squash and zucchini you either grow, buy, or have foisted upon you. If you're more than a little bored by zucchini bread and think you might scream if one more round of squash “noodles” makes it onto your dinner plate, then I have the recipe for you. It is, hands down, my absolute favorite way to prepare summer squash, and the variations are practically endless. I'm talking about squash fritters.
There is nothing easier than finding yourself a passel of summer squash. The joke among gardeners is that if you want some zucchini, all you have to do is leave your car windows down. A grower, desperate to rid themselves of some of the bounty, will surreptitiously toss a pile of squash into your driver's seat when you're not looking.
This particular recipe is for Mexican-inspired fritters, though there will be suggestions at the end as to other flavor profiles you might experiment with. These fritters are fast, easy, versatile, and can be an entire meal unto themselves. You'll never be stymied by summer squash again!
ilistwesternkentucky.com July 2015 • 19
Directions: 1. Scrub your squash with a clean sponge under warm water to remove all traces of dirt. You want clean squash, because you will be eating the skin. 2. Slice off both ends of the squash and use a box grater to grate the squash. You probably will still have a small piece leftover from each squash, because it's hard to grate something in its entirety without grating your fingers! 3. Place your pile of grated squash into a mesh strainer or colander set over a bowl and salt the squash well to help draw out excess water. 4. Chop your onion and mince your garlic. 5. Using paper towels folded to double or triple thickness, pick up the squash pile and squeeze it in the paper towels. A lot of watery liquid should start to trickle out. You will never get it completely dry, but squeeze it a few times to remove at least some of the moisture. This will help your fritters crisp up better. 6. In a medium mixing bowl, beat the two eggs well. Add
20 • July 2015 ilistwesternkentucky.com
the shredded squash, onion, garlic, zucchini, cheese, and spices. Add the spices according to your tastes. I always use more than I think I need, and it turns out great. Add the sugar or drizzle in the honey. Add salt, keeping in mind that you already salted the squash once. Incorporate the flour well. You will end up with a loose batter. 7. Heat a half and half blend of butter and olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. You want about a quarter inch of oil and butter in your skillet. 8. Using a large serving spoon, pick up a portion of the fritter batter and tip it into the hot grease. Do this until you have three or four fritters cooking, depending on your skillet size. 9. After about three minutes, your fritters will be crisp enough to flip. Flip them with a spatula, cook the other side for three or four minutes, and remove the fritters to a plate, topping them immediately with more cheese. The fritters should be golden brown with a crunchy crust. Serve the fritters as they cook, garnishing them as you desire. A cold fritter is a terrible thing to behold.
**Variations** Italian: Replace the shredded cheddar and Monterey jack with shredded mozzarella; use basil and oregano as the primary seasonings; garnish with more mozzarella, a thick slice of homegrown tomato, fresh basil, and a drizzle of balsamic vinegar
Greek: Use Feta as the cheese of choice; oregano, chopped kalamata olives, dill, and some lemon zest would work well
as the seasonings; garnish with more feta, snipped fresh dill, and a dollop of Greek yogurt The best thing about this recipe is that the basic version can be dressed up to suit virtually any taste. From a gingery, Thai curry to classic diner-style fritters topped with fried onions, relish, and ketchup, these summer squash fritters are the perfect answer to the summer's occasionally overwhelming v bounty!

Herb Appeal III Beyond the Plate
H
erb Appeal is an annual luncheon and lecture hosted and prepared by Extension Master Gardeners (EMGs). This year’s it features a healthy combination of familiar foods complimented by a quintet of herbs - rosemary, savory (2015’s herb of the year), thyme, dill and mint. All specially selected to tantalize taste buds and tempt diners to grow their own. “Beyond the Plate” refers to the non-culinary use of herbs for crafts, medicine, cleaning and more. This year’s Herb Appeal is being held on Thursday, July 16 at 11:45 a.m. at the McCracken County Cooperative Extension Service at 2705 Olivet Church Road in Paducah. Lunch service will begin promptly at 12:00 p.m. Only 60 tickets at $20.00 are available. They may be purchased, by check, at the Extension office. For more information please call 270.554.9520.
Healing, Bees & Boutique This year’s featured speaker herb specialist Linda Caviness. She will highlight the lesser-known medicinal properties of culinary herbs; qualities that bring “healing
to the mind, body or spirit; hopefully all three.” Her dual goals are to introduce the audience to new herbs and “stir someone’s curiosity to start investigating herbs for themselves”. Caviness will be followed by Brenda Johnson, an EMG, who will share facts about the cultivation of Orchard and Mason bees to improve pollination of early spring fruit flowers in the wake of a decrease in honeybees. Oblivious to their existence a few months ago, Johnson is now fascinated by them. Handmade Mason bee houses will be available for purchase in the boutique that will open after the meal. Other items available in the boutique include herbs, bird feeders and bird houses, jewelry, topiaries, glass totem poles, and small wheelbarrows planted with herbs.
It Began with Borage For Caviness, gardening has been a serious passion since the early seventies when she arrived in Kentucky from Los Angeles. She’s had a number of plant-related vocations, working in garden shops and with landscapers; managing the gardens at Patti’s; and working at a Lowe’s garden center. At the end of June,
ilistwesternkentucky.com July 2015 • 41
she retired from the Marshall County Library in Hardin, Kentucky, and has big plans for the future. One of her first priorities is building a greenhouse so she can propagate her own herbs. While already growing most of her own herbs in raised beds and containers, she occasionally must buy the hard to find herbs she craves from other sources. The first herb Caviness grew was borage. Upon reading in a seed catalog its leaves tasted like cucumbers—a favorite food of hers—she was smitten and had to have it. Pretty petite blue flowers that looked like stars were an added bonus that convinced her, even though she was just a novice gardener, “try it!” She’s had good success with most plants, but finding the right spot for lavender has been confounding. While herbs benefit from frequent pruning, Caviness only snips when the plants need it or she needs what the plants are producing. She uses her harvest for cooking and medicinal concoctions she prepares herself. A severe sinus infection led her to investigate alternative remedies and she’s now tweaked an herbal formula that works for her. Lavender, lemon balm, mint and chamomile are constants in her garden. Deeming herself a self-taught
gardener, Caviness gathered her knowledge of growing herbs from several sources; her grandmother, mother, older friends, neighbors, books, classes, and lots of trial and error. 2015 is the third time EMGs have partnered with Laura Duff of A Pampered Palate Catering to develop the luncheon menu. Under Duff’s direction, EMGs will prepare the bulk of the meal with each dish featuring one or more herbs. According to Duff, there’s no downside to adding fresh herbs to a meal, you stimulate and satiate your palate simultaneously without adding extra salt, sugar or fat. Duff is a Registered Dietician by training and a caterer by trade. Midtown Market will again provide fresh ingredients for the luncheon. Since launching his urban food store at 3000 Broadway, Andy Carloss has made great strides in providing organic, locally grown produce to area shoppers.
New Name; Same Mission Preparing to move to a new campus that is currently under construction, the Purchase Area Master Gardener Association (PAMGA), has recently changed its name to McCracken County Extension Master Gardeners. Herb Appeal III-Beyond the Plate is a fundraiser for the University of Kentucky Demonstration & Trial Garden on Coleman Road in Paducah. The garden is an outdoor classroom featuring trial beds, a vegetable garden, a small orchard, vineyard and greenhouse.
Extension Master Gardeners EMGs have more than just green thumbs, they are trained in all phases of horticulture by the University of Kentucky and Kentucky State University through the Kentucky Cooperative Extension Service. Upon completing formal training and passing a written exam, they volunteer their time to assist the McCracken County Horticulture Extension Agent in advising home gardeners. Educating the gardening public, both adults and children, is the primary focus of EMGs. They accomplish this mission in several ways: Staffing a booth at the local Farmer’s Market; sponsoring a standard flower show at the McCracken County Fair each June; operating a telephone hotline for gardening questions during the growing season; hosting a free monthly toolbox series on a vast array of gardening topics the first Tuesday of each month; and, maintaining a Speaker’s Bureau. The local centerpiece of their work is the Demo & Trial Garden for which Herb Appeal III-Beyond the Plate is the sole fundraiser. v Carol Ullerich is the immediate past president of PAMGA, a member of the Garden Writers Association, and a contributor to Purchase Area Family Magazine.

t’s summer in Kentucky and that means it’s sticky, hot and humid! All most of us want to do is enjoy the airconditioned comfort of our homes. Unfortunately, humans are not the only creatures that seek relief from the heat. All too often, our homes host other, uninvited guests. All sorts of pests seek refuge during the heat of summer (and the cold of winter) in homes. Whether its ants in the kitchen or the bathroom, or spiders in the closets, or rats in the garage, we’d rather not share our homes. Pest control expert Chad Parks with Servall Pest Control has some great tips for dealing with the more common household bugs in the Purchase Area.
To start with: Keep them out! A large part of preventing infestation is to make your home less accessible and less attractive to insects and rodents. You may be surprised to learn that your landscaping may be adding more than curb appeal to your home. It could be a real invitation to pests. • “Mulch harbors insects,” Parks explained. Make sure that mulch is at least a foot away from the foundation of the home. ‘This article is paid advertising and the information contained therein is provided by the featured individual or business. They are solely responsible for its accuracy.’
• Firewood also can harbors pests. Parks recommends storing firewood and other items a minimum of 30 feet away from the home. • Make sure window and door screens are in good shape. Inspect your house for cracks or penetration and have problem areas sealed properly. • And of course, don’t leave food out!
The Importance of an Inspection Proper identification of pests is often an important part of ridding a house of an infestation. Each type of pest requires a different method of eradication. The treatment varies depending on the particular situation of your home. If you’re looking for advice specific to your home and your uninvited ‘guests’, an expert inspection of your home and yard is essential. Parks recommends an inspection every 3-4 months to help prevent infestations or stop one in the beginning stages. This also applies to people buying a home. An inspection is a good way to identify potential problems down the road.
Tricks of the Trade For prevention, Parks recommends a thorough exterior treatment. If you’re concerned about the effects of chemical
ilistwesternkentucky.com July 2015 • 43
applications on and around your home, look for ‘green’ options. “Most chemicals are a lot safer today than they were 20 years ago,” Parks said. “Glue boards are one of the better things in pest control,” Parks said. They can be a monitoring device to identify the type of pest and determine how best to approach the problem.
Ants Ants like leftovers. As ant colonies can be difficult to get rid of once they invade prevention is key. Keep food in properly sealed containers and off of counters and surfaces. Clean dishes as soon as possible after cooking and eating and sweep floors regularly to catch crumbs. Ants live in colonies which can be difficult to locate. Finding the colony and identifying which type of ant is in your home is crucial. Different types require different bait. “Ants feed on different things at different times of the year,” Parks said. “Sometimes ants like protein, sometimes sugar. At certain times they’ll feed on both.” Knowing what they are attracted to is crucial for treatment.
Spiders Preventing spider infestations is all about sealing up cracks and penetration points in the house. Thoroughly check access areas like doors or windows. Many pests also get in through rarely checked rooms such as basements and attics. Be sure to remove webs from out of the way places such as under furniture, in closets, and in corners. Spiders present a unique difficulty. “Spiders are really difficult because they do not absorb chemicals through their legs—it has to get on their body,” Parks explained. Experts use chemicals with bigger molecules so it’ll attach to the spiders’ body more easily.
Roaches Cockroaches carry disease so they are particularly undesirable because of the sanita44 • July 2015 ilistwesternkentucky.com
tion risk they pose. Roaches are looking for the ideal home; they’re avoiding a lot of rain or looking for water because it’s hot. Roaches breed quickly and an infestation can become a problem overnight. The best way of preventing Roaches is to keep your home clean and tidy. To get rid of them, experts typically use a combination of chemicals, baits, and growth inhibitors. It usually requires a professional to get rid of a serious infestation.
Termites The Eastern Subterranean Termite is specific to our area. Termites are the big culprits when it comes to structural damage. Termites cause more than 300 billion in damage per year. Termites do not actually live in your home, they live outside in the ground. Termites build shelter tubes to protect themselves from the sun and prey, and keep out of sight. To get rid of termites you have to treat the soil itself. “Termites are extremely hard to stop,” Parks warned. “If you don’t know what you’re doing severe damage to your home [can result].”
They damage wood and furniture, have a tendency to chew on electrical wires, and if they come into contact with food, it must be thrown away. The number one way to prevent rodents is to make sure that they do not have an access point to your home. Fill in all cracks and look for areas of penetration, such as roof eaves, missing shingles, and air vents. “It all goes back to monitoring and identifying which type of rodent you have and then going from there,” explained Parks. Knowing what rodents are feeding on and where they’re living affects the treatment. Homeowners should be careful to put bait somewhere the rodents can access but won’t endanger small children, pets, or people in the house. Whatever pest you’re dealing with, the primary thing is to be cautious and safe, whether you attempt treatment yourself or employ an expert. “If you’re going to do it yourself, read and follow directions thoroughly,” Parks advised. “Because if you don’t, you’re not only endangering yourself, but you’re endangering the environment as well.” v
Fleas & Ticks Fleas and ticks get into your home by hitching a ride on you and your pet. For those who enjoy the Great Outdoors, always check your clothing and skin and your pets. Be careful to clean second-hand purchases like furniture to guard against these pesky invaders. Treat your pests with flea and tick medication or use flea collars. Regular washing also helps to ensure your pets are flea and tick free.
Rodents Rats and mice are undesirable for many reasons. They are not clean creatures, and they carry a variety of diseases.

The UBS Fred Paxton Fund Run for Charities
I
f you’re a runner there are lots of great races and runs in the Purchase Area: The Iron Mom, Color Run, and Glow Run to name but a few. But the big event is the UBS Fred Paxton Fund Run for Charities. If you’re looking for a straight forward 5K run that supports many great causes this is the perfect event for you!
Helping to Sustain Non-Profits This is the 14th year for this annual run. The Fund Run does what its name implies: It helps nonprofits raise needed funds and build their endowments. It does this by matching the money that organizations raise - up to $10,000. Organizations have to apply to participate in the Fund Run. They must raise a minimum amount to receive the matching funds raised for the event. A percentage of the entry fee can be designated to any of
50 • July 2015 ilistwesternkentucky.com
the nonprofit organizations; the rest goes to underwrite the event. People can donate to the organization of their choice at the registration table. “There’s nothing magical about the event,” explained Tony Watkins, executive director of the Community Foundation. “What makes the fund run unique is that the nonprofit organizations raise the money and we match it. The Community Foundation gives back 100% of the funds the nonprofits raise, but the matched amount is placed into a permanent endowment fund in the name of the organization.”
Bringing Organizations Together Over the years, the Fund Run has helped raise over three million dollars for organizations that help and support our community. “We saw the Fund Run as a way to bring nonprofit organizations together, not in a sense of competition but in a sense of cooperation” Watkins said. “They’re bound
together, they each address unique needs in the community. This event allows them to fundraise together as well.”
A Traditional 5K The Community Foundation wants to keep the focus of the Fund Run where it should be - helping the participating nonprofit organizations that do so much for the community. “We just want it to be a traditional 5K walk or run,” Watkins said. “We don’t want you to have to run through mud, or get powdered paint on you. We just want you to come spend time in fellowship and help support the organizations that do good work in the community.” This year the Fund Run will be held at Noble Park on July 25, with the 5k adult run (12 and up) starting at 8 AM.

Though it’s been a consistent success, Watkins has plans to improve it. “We might add food next year,” he said. “Put a big grill out and provide hamburgers. But we don’t want to complicated this event!” For Watkins, adding food would be just another reason for participants and attendees of the 5K to rally around the nonprofits that do so much for the community. He prides himself on the simple nature of the Fund Run.

We have had a couple of hundred people and supporters come out to watch the event and support the organizations. “Usually several hundred just come out to watch” Watkins told me. “Parents often come to support their kids who are participating. Sometimes they’ll run or walk with them.”

P
eter Barnett loves a good conversation. Even before he started Pipers Tea and Coffee Shop, he was the quintessential friendly neighborhood barista. If you needed the scoop on current events, useful suggestions about dining, music, or movies, or even not so apparently useful knowledge on a wide range of topics, Barnett was your man. As he reverently prepared whatever drink you had ordered at his special recommendation, he’d entertain you with an anecdote or a quip courtesy of his dry British humor. In fact, it was ease in starting a conversation that led to Barnett leasing a space in the Paducah Coke Plant building where he has opened his tea shop and coffee. During a chat with Ed Musselman (owner of the Coke Plant building) about concrete countertops, Musselman asked if he’d like to have his tea and coffee shop in the landmark space. Barnett has created Pipers Tea and Coffee with the hope of fostering yet more interesting conversations, and creating community.
The Perfect Cup of Tea Barnett was born and raised in York, England. His first memory of tasting tea was around the age of ilistwesternkentucky.com July 2015 • 53
11. “My mother, as most British mothers tend to do, decided it was time for me to start drinking tea,” Barnett recalled. “She told me to go make a cup of Earl Grey. I had to learn how to make my own cup of tea.” Barnett met his wife Amber seven years ago in England. Six months later, the couple moved to America “on a whim.” This also let them be near Amber’s family who live in the area. The Barnett’s live just down the block from Pipers with their two daughters— Amelia and Emmeline. For his new tea and coffee shop, Barnett has created a signature Earl Grey blend. “In my opinion it’s a better Earl Grey than a typical English blend,” Barnett told me. “The trouble with the English is that they’re not very adventurous sometimes – they’ve been drinking the same tea for two hundred years!” That’s what Barnett likes about America. “This is the best place in the world to develop what I’m doing,” Barnett said. “In America, you have this brand new taste - in one sense the palate is educated, but not confined by the annals of history or tradition.”
Preparing the Drinks At one time, Amber hoped to be a “Nose” in France - some54 • July 2015 ilistwesternkentucky.com
one who creates perfumes. Now, she fuels her keen sense of smell and creativity into creating the tea blends at Pipers. “We like our tea to taste as good as it smells,” she said. She takes joy creating drinks and having fun with it on a daily basis. For her, each flavor brings back memories and experiences. “My goal is to try and put my inspiration into the tea and hope that it will come across when people drink it. We want to help create good moments and memories for people to associate with our drinks.” The tea and coffee is sourced from all over the world. From the leaves to the sugar, all of the ingredi-
ilistwesternkentucky.com July 2015 • 55
ents used are either organic or natural. After the blends were established, Peter and Amber experimented to find the optimal method of preparation to bring out the full effect of the blend. The preparation of each drink is meticulous. The tea is stored in specially designed and hand crafted ceramic pots. From there, they place the leaves in a tea ball and use a pour-over process that allows them to control time and temperature. “The process of steeping the tea, of getting the water right…is just as methodical and mesmerizing as the drinking of it,” Barnett explained.
The Culture of Tea Though Barnett didn’t go into detail about his life, the themes are consistent: Tea, coffee, and traveling. He took a ‘gap year’ before college and moved to Australia for twelve months. This fueled his wanderlust and after college, and a brief stint in the army, he traveled to the Canary Islands. The scenes, cultures, and continents changed, but he frequented coffee shops everywhere he went. “One of the greatest things you can do in foreign countries is find a coffee or tea house,” Barnett explained. “Go to a cafe and order a coffee. Just stop and slow down. To sit and chill out in a cafe is to understand the pulse of the city and ingratiate yourself into another society.” The only place he hasn’t found the same tea and coffee culture is America. (Except for the Starbucks effect which
56 • July 2015 ilistwesternkentucky.com
speeds up a process that every other culture slows down.) Barnett, who has taken tea out of Yerba Mate Gourds in South Africa, in traditional Japanese tea houses, and over traditional English tea tables, feels the lack. “You can’t say everyone else is wrong, because everyone does it,” Barnett told me. “What we’ve tried to do with Pipers is create a location where people can try and stop for a moment. A true coffee house is a place of discussion and friendship.”
Pipers Tea and Coffee Pipers is a series of small rooms that seems straight out of Kinfolk Magazine. The walls are lined with wood and brass shelving that holds white ceramic jars filled with the various blends of loose tea leaves. The tea is brewed in round glass pots on top of the steel countertop. Copper Plumen lights with a rose-gold tint give the room a mirthful feel.
seur, Alyssa Durbin, explained it this way; “They care about the customers. The staff know what you order regularly and they explain everything to you while they’re making it. You know why it’s worth what you’re paying for.” Just the other day, I stopped by a coffee shop in the middle of some shopping. On the way to a table, a man I’d never spoken to approached me and asked me, grinning; “Wouldn’t you rather be at Peter’s?” You see, he’d seen me at Pipers just the other day. Pipers is located in the Coke Plant on 3121 Broadway Street, Paducah. For more information, visit cupofpipers.com v

2nd Annual Moonlight Bike Ride Benefiting Paducah Cooperative Ministry

yclists of all levels will light up the night on August 1st for the 2nd Annual Moonlight Ride. This 10-mile “glow-ride” presented by BikeWorld and Chain Reaction Cycling Club is a fun, easy, family-friendly ride under the light of the full moon with proceeds benefiting Paducah Cooperative Ministry. The ride debuted last summer and was the first one of its kind for our community. Inspired by rides in other larger cities, CRCC members Justin and Erin Lewis, along with friend and former PCM Board Member Stephanie Moss, wanted to bring a nighttime ride to Paducah. With the guidance and help of BikeWorld owners Hutch Smith and Martha Emmons, it didn’t take long to get the wheels turning for this event.
Bigger than Imagined For the inaugural ride last year, we thought if a hundred people turned out, it would be a success. When we found out that the crowd was estimated at 400 people we were thrilled. This was way beyond the number of people we had imagined. Our organizers accomplished something great
58 • July 2015 ilistwesternkentucky.com
for both Paducah and for PCM. It’s an honor to work with people that are so compassionate about our community and it was a great fundraiser for our organization. Revenue from the 2014 event exceeded the $10,000 goal.
Free Entertainment & Ice Cream! Other than the actual ride, all activities take place on the parking lot in front of BikeWorld at 809 Joe Clifton Drive in Paducah. Beginning at 8 pm, enjoy free entertainment and refreshments at the rider check-in and registration, including treats from The Paducah Bank Ice Cream Truck. The ride begins from the parking lot and travels a low-trafficked, marked route which winds through Paducah and ends back in the parking lot.
Glow-In-The-Dark While riders are expected to be mindful of all safety regulations, including wearing a helmet and equipping bikes with lights per KRS safety standards, they are also encouraged to illuminate their bikes (and themselves!) with glow-in-thedark items. Last year’s ride showcased an assortment of glow sticks, glow rings and even battery-operated LED lights.
How to Register Registration is going on now through the website active.com (just search cycling events for Paducah zip 42001) or you can register in person at BikeWorld during business hours. The entry fee for riders age 17 and older is $25 and $15 for youth ages 5-16. Early bird registration is offered through July 11th and guarantees each paid participant an official event t-shirt, as well as a discounted $20 adult entry fee. T-shirts are available at the event while supplies last.

Project CARAT Making Assistive Technology & Durable Medical Equipment Accessible Editor’s Note: I never thought I would need a medical device such as s wheelchair, but during my second cancer treatments, I did. Luckily someone lent me one, but it showed me how big a need there is for affordable or free home medical equipment.
Terri Ross saw firsthand that the cost and availability of home medical equipment was an issue for many families in our area. She has been working diligently to provide help find set up an organization to help fill this need. Ross, along with Sonya Windt, has worked to bring project CARAT to western Kentucky.
“I broke my leg and I need a wheelchair” Many of us have known someone who has been in an accident or have an elderly relative that needs home medical equipment. What most of us don’t realize is how expensive it can be and how hard it can be to get. Insurance or Medicare often doesn’t cover the cost of what’s needed for someone to function properly in his/her own home. Additionally, it can take weeks or months to get approval – that’s a long time when you can’t do without the help. What is a person to do that is faced with this situation?
The goal of project CARAT is to make Assistive Technology and Durable Medical Equipment more accessible to those who need it – especially in rural Kentucky. This project, Coordinating and Assisting the Reuse of Assistive Technology (CARAT), began in May 2012 with a $450,000, three-year grant from the U.S. Department of Health & Human Services. Ross has been partnering with many area agencies over the past year to establish this much-needed service.
Ross’ Rough Road Terri Ross’ story is one of tragedy laced with pure determination. Twelve years ago, she was in a motorcycle accident that left her a below the knee amputee. Ross was fortunate to have great insurance that covered her medical bills and provided her with the equipment that she needed to resume a normal life after her accident. For the past ten years, she has been the founder, group leader, and administrator for a local support group, Paducah Area Amputees in Action, Inc. Through this group, she is constantly meeting new amputees and discovered how many of them didn’t have the proper equipment they needed either because of the cost or because insurance/Medicare didn’t cover the expense. Ross decided to tackle the problem. She placed an ad in a local paper asking for donations of medical equipment that people were no longer using; making sure that she stated she was not reselling it. Each Monday, her phone would be flooded with phone calls. “I received so many calls from people in need of equipment,” she explained. “I would always take their names and numbers, but I was just blown-away by how many people were in need. Sometimes, I would get
60 • July 2015 ilistwesternkentucky.com
a phone call about a wheelchair and I would put that person in touch with another person who needed one just three miles down the road. I became the hub for transactions like these.” About two years ago, her mother had surgery. Ross made a comment to her mother about Medicaid not covering any bath equipment. A physical therapy student doing her clinical training asked Ross if she was part of the Kentucky Appalachian Rural Recycling Network. Ross was not but was very intrigued. The student told her to contact Dr. Patrick Kitzman at the University of Kentucky. Ross did. They met and Kitzman asked her if she would be willing to carry their initiative into western Kentucky. That, as they say, is how it all started.
Carrying CARAT into Kentucky In March 2014, Ross organized a meeting at Lourdes with Dr. Kitzman. She invited area doctors, physical therapists, and leaders, but she had no idea if anyone would show up. They did and have been working with Ross to assist her with the introduction of CARAT to this end of the state. Lourdes Hospital even renovated office space for Ross and the project. It’s located at Lourdes North Plaza 911 Joe Clifton Drive. Their operation hours are Monday-Thursday from 11 am-2 pm or by appointment. Ross’ friend Sonya Windt plays a huge role in project CARAT. She goes to yard sales every Friday and Saturday. ilistwesternkentucky.com July 2015 • 61
When she sees any medical equipment, she passes out one of their brochures, telling them about the project. Many times, people just give her the equipment on the spot and some call them after the yard sale is over, offering them the unsold equipment. “Without Sonya’s help, our organization would not have all the donations that it has received so far. She has done so much to acquire the equipment,” Ross said. Now, not only are they partnered with Lourdes, they have also partnered with the Center for Accessible Living in Murray, WKCTC and Vocational Rehab. They are collecting, refurbishing and distributing durable medical equipment, including walkers, wheelchairs, canes, crutches, rollators, tub benches and many other items. These will be given to those in need at no cost.
Ask your Physician It’s important to note, that the project is just in the beginning stages and currently isn’t able to issue the equipment directly to the public. Medical care providers, physical therapists, or nurses can request the equipment for a patient. However, Project CARAT hoped that soon they will be able to issue the equipment directly to people in need. Lourdes Hospital is working with them to purchase a hub scrub which will clean and sanitize the equipment. Project CARAT has donated 551 pieces of equipment to Kentuckians, with a total value of $196,680.00! Ross can’t wait to add to that number!
TYY Phones Project CARAT has also received a display cabinet of TYY phones, which are available at no cost to people who are deaf or hard of hearing. This display is the only one in western Kentucky. They also have brochures and applications for consumers to apply for this equipment.
Volunteers Needed This project is staffed entirely by volunteers. To become a volunteer in this outstanding initiative, contact Lourdes Volunteer Coordinator Shannon Courtney at 270.444.2552. WKCTC students can also use volunteer hours here towards graduation. To read more about project CARAT, please visit their Facebook page or their web site at katsnet.org/projectCARAT.

ainStage School of Performing Arts and Children’s Theatre is starting its fourth year. The school now has stage 10 productions to its credit. Their first productions were The Little Mermaid, Jr., and Alice in Wonderland, Jr., in 2013. MainStage students have starred in 13, The Music Man, Jr., Peter Pan, 101 Dalmatians, Kids, Hairspray, Jr., The Wizard of Oz and The Jungle Book, Kids. Through classes and shows, MainStage students learn to shine on stage and off.
Life is an audition! “Auditioning is something we do throughout our lives,” explained Megan Hughes, director of MainStage School and The Children’s Theatre. “We want to be chosen, to be considered, to be appreciated. I know that through the performance arts, children are empowered with the self-esteem and confidence to be successful in whatever they choose to do.” Ms. Megan, as her students call her, has plenty of experience watching former and current students use the lessons and skills they have learned from classes and shows every day. “After 30 years of teaching the performing arts I stopped counting the shows I’ve directed at number 50. I know firsthand that the theatre arts (voice, drama, and dance) create more self-confident, compassionate, and smarter kids. They learn to creatively solve problems, increase their attention span, listen better and they become more resilient.”
What MainStage Offers As a performing arts school, MainStage offers classes in drama, improv, musical theatre, voice, a cappella voice, tap, ballet, jazz, hip-hop, and musical theatre to children ages 3-18. “Our current students come from western Kentucky and southern Illinois and over 50% are from families of educators. “We feel that’s a pretty powerful endorsement. Teachers know the importance of putting your best foot forward in preparation for life. We want all our MainStage students to be prepared for whatever path their lives take. We want them to greet each of life’s audition moments with grace, confidence, and joy.” MainStage students have been accepted to The Governor’s School of the Arts and the Gifted and Talented program in voice, drama, and dance. The school also offers private audition coaching and our students have been accepted into prestigious college drama programs. ‘This article is paid advertising and the information contained therein is provided by the featured individual or business.

Dance Director Wheeler Hughes Dance Director and MainStage choreographer, Wheeler Hughes, is also the MCHS dance teacher, dance team coach and musical choreographer. Her dance program fosters a student’s ability to work with others and develop a greater sense of trust and cooperation. She teaches dance as an art form; where athleticism and art collide. She teaches her students not only skills and technique, but to communicate non-verbally with their bodies through movement. Since dance is a vital third leg in a musical, performance is included in her classes. Ms. Hughes, is also the MCHS dance teacher, dance team coach and musical choreographer. She is an honors graduate from NYU Tisch School of the Arts and a nationally award winning choreographer. Her resume includes music videos and company performances at several NYC venues.
A Family Atmosphere “We work to create a community of artists, a home, and a family,” Hughes told me. “We get to know each of the kids; we see their strengths and their weaknesses. We meet them where they are and open the door to where they can go. We celebrate their differences and use it to create powerful, dynamic, passionate shows. We teach that excellence is achieved through hard work and dedication. We believe that combination is a perfect preparation for a successful and happy life.” To find out more about MainStage call 270.558.4249 or visit Mymainstageschool.com. Registration for fall classes: July 24, 25, 31 and August 1 & 2. 1-6 PM Friday & Saturday and 1-4 PM on Sunday. v ilistwesternkentucky.com July 2015 • 63
