Giving heart patients an encore. That’s why we’re here. Only UK HealthCare offers the most comprehensive heart care in the region. No one appreciates this more than Deb Lander, who suffered sudden cardiac death on a Lexington sidewalk. To give her the best chance at a full recovery, our cardiac team induced therapeutic hypothermia – a treatment few heart centers are able to do. And we didn’t stop there. We implanted a wireless deﬁbrillator to jumpstart Deb’s heart should it ever stop again. This was all done with one goal in mind: to allow Deb to continue pursuing her passion of teaching viola at the UK College of Fine Arts.

More advanced diagnostic and treatment options. More appropriate care. More hope. That’s why we’re here.

Whitman a few suggestions: don’t start with chicks the first time; get a heritage breed on the verge of laying (the term to describe a hen almost to the point of being able to produce eggs). Since then she has brought other heritage breeds into the fold: Marguerite, a Black Marans; Sabine, a Cochin; and Cloud and Cecile, two White Plymouth Rocks Whitman has raised since chicks. Cecile and Cloud are the most comfortable with Whitman, a characteristic she says that probably has to do with them being raised since chicks, and will eat out of her hand, though the other birds aren’t very skittish either. Among the many things Whitman enjoys about raising her chickens, one of the things she finds most interesting is their behavior, especially regarding the “pecking order.” “When Cecile laid her first egg, she immediately rose to the top and just took that spot. She’s the last one into the coop at night,” Whitman said. “She walks the whole backyard to make sure everything is cool and then she gets in. Then she’s the first one out in the mor ning. “They are amazing. They are so smart and systematic,” she added. “There’s a lot more going on in their heads than you would think.” And, of course, she finds the egg production interesting, and delicious. Whitman says that between the five hens, she usually collects three to four eggs daily. Whitman moved into her current home about two years ago, bringing her flock and coop to the new neighborhood. Instead of causing a ruckus with neighbors – some people assume chickens are noisy or unsanitary – Whitman says her hens quickly endeared her to nearby residents, especially the curious ones. “It’s really connected me with all these neighbors,” she said, “introduced me to neighbors.”

As three trees grew and created more shade in Mike and Janet Braun’s backyard, they created a thriving woodland garden. PHOTOS BY ROBBIE CLARK

MADE IN THE SHADE

THIS RABBIT RUN BACKYARD GARDEN IS A WOODLAND DELIGHT

BY ROBBIE CLARK SOUTHSIDER MAGAZINE

aving lived in the Rabbit Run neighborhood for almost 20 years, Mike and Janet Braun’s backyard garden has evolved as the shade from three trees – two cherry and one elm – has continued to encroach across their yard through the years. Mike remembers when this family couldn’t even bear to be on their back deck in the summer because it was just too hot. Now he says it’s a very pleasant place to sit in the war mer months because of the trees’ shade. Always fans of gardening, as the shade in the backyard became more prominent, so did the extent of the family’s woodland garden, which now extends many yards from the back patio.

“A lot of people just throw their hands up when they have shade. They don’t know what to do. They think, ‘I can’t have a garden if I have shade, I don’t have any sun,’” Janet said. “Our attitude is, if the world gives you shade, plant what likes the shade.” The Braun’s woodland garden includes many varieties of plants and trees that flourish in shaded areas, such as hosta, astilbe, ligularia, fer n, coral bells, anemone, camellia, hydrangea, pachysandra and box wood. A short stone wall, the most recent addition to the garden, lines the edge of the garden adjacent to the deck, and a discreet stone walkway path, which leads to the grassy area of the yard beyond the shade, sections the garden into two areas. Nearly all the plants in their woodland garden are perennials, so the couple doesn’t have to spend time each year planting new specimens, but the couple laughs when asked if their backyard garden is high maintenance. “It wouldn’t have to be,” Mike chuckled. “We like to work out in the garden.”

But they both agree that they like sitting on their back deck, in the shade, in the war mer months, enjoying the view of their garden much more than working in it. “It’s just such a beautiful time to be in Kentucky,” Mike said. The Brauns are members of a gardening club called Gardening Angels. In 2011, the couple’s garden won a first place award in the Lexington In Bloom contest for the front yard category.

KITCHEN COMFORTS THIS KITCHEN, INCLUDED ON THE UPCOMING 2013 KITCHENS OF THE BLUEGRASS TOUR, PROVES YOU CAN NEVER HAVE TOO MUCH SPACE

Southsider Magazine May 2013

BY ROBBIE CLARK SOUTHSIDER MAGAZINE

avid and Katrina Nickels have lived in their Firebrook home since 2006. They loved their house â&#x20AC;&#x201C; except for the kitchen, which had terrible lighting, ugly floors, white laminate counters, outdated appliances and not much space to work with at all. Their displeasure got to the point where the couple said were either going to move or they were going to give the space a complete overhaul. Fortunately, they decided to rework their kitchen with the help of Debra Hupman from Creative Kitchen & Bath. To get more space to work with, an exterior wall shared between the kitchen and a dreary screened-in porch was removed. They also pushed back a wall that was shared with the garage a few feet. Taking over the side porch allowed for the kitchen to have the additional square footage the couple wanted. Along with a more ef ficient use of the space, the couple wanted new countertops, flooring (to match the wood floors in the adjacent living room) and appliances. They also liked the idea, in lieu of the side porch, of having a mudroom installed which could provide a functional passageway between the kitchen and their sizable backyard.

“We definitely wanted to do all that, but as we talked with contractors and talked options and the cost of doing different things, we fell in love with having a mudroom and couldn’t really get away from that,” David said. The couple got their mudroom, complete with a lar ge dog-washing station, and everything else they wanted – an extended island, fitted with a small sink and accompanying table top; granite countertops; all new appliances, including an induction cooktop; and tons of new cabinet space. “Having more storage space was definitely a big goal of ours, and now we probably have too much – if that’s possible,” Nickels said. “We’ve got room to spare in our cabinets and on our shelves.”

prouting weeds are one of the first signs of spring, but unlike other buds and blooms, we tend not to welcome these plants. There are three weedy plants that clients invariably ask me about. Here is the most common question I get: “There is this little weed with tiny white flowers, it’s everywhere, and it pops seeds when I try to pull it out. What the heck is this?” I’ll bet you know exactly what I’m talking about, and I’m sure I could find some in most any backyard in Lexington. It is Cardamine hirsuta, better known as hairy bittercress. Hairy bittercress is an annual with a pretty little basal rosette of leaves. Flowering stems, just a few inches long, grow out of the center of the rosette. Look very closely and you may see scattered hairs on the leaves, especially around their bases. Tubular seed pods project nearly straight upwards, each containing many tiny seeds. If you try to pull the plant after the seed pods ripen, you will experience their carpet bombing attributes. Seeds everywhere, projected as far as 10 feet. This plant produces flowers and seeds vigorously before most other plants have reached the reproductive stage. It can complete its life cycle in three to four weeks to disperse thousands of seeds, all of which can germinate to release their own seeds in quick succession, so it can dominate yards and gardens if not caught in the early stages. They grow best in damp, recently disturbed soil, which pretty much defines garden beds in the spring. Hairy bittercress is a member of the mustard family. While we do have beautiful native mustards, this is not one of them – it is native to Europe and Asia. Apparently

the young, tender leaves add a peppery bite to a salad and can be added to soups. Another common weed is from the genus Lamium. Actually, there are two similar plants: purple deadnettle ( Lamium purpureum) and henbit ( Lamium amplexicaule). Both are in the mint family and have that characteristic square stem but no minty odor. Pinkish or purplish tiny tubular flowers grow in whorls around the stem. These plants grow in moist, disturbed areas and look very much alike. If youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re interested in telling them apart, hereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s how: purple deadnettleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s leaves have a stem (petiole), a pointed tip and a triangular shape; henbitâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s upper leaves have no stems and are circular or heart shaped, with big, scalloped edges. These are winter annuals, meaning that they start their life cycles in the fall with seed germination and flower and set seed in the spring. They are invasive and nonnative. Where these plants are common, they are important nectar and pollen sources for bees, especially the non-native honeybees. And these plants are edible, too. For some spicy flavor, use raw in salads or add to soups and stews. Nutritious, high in iron, vitamins and fiber . There is a species of deadnettle, Lamium maculatum, that is sold as a groundcover. I never use this because it is extremely aggressive and hard to get rid of once it starts to take over. Which it will. And, for the third weed Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m most likely to hear about, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll go with ground ivy (Glechoma hederacea.) Another nonnative, it shares similarities with purple deadnettle and henbit: tubular flowers and the square stem of the mint family. However, ground ivy is perennial with creeping stems that root at the nodes, and when you handle it you canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t miss the mint-like odor. It will form dense mats which can take over areas of your lawn. I am all for pulling weeds rather than spraying chemicals, if at all possible. In most garden areas this will be enough to get things under control. And Groud Ivy, maybe leave the henbit and purple resembling purple deadnettle while itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s in flower , to deadnettle, give sustenance to the bees, then forms dense pull it before it sets seed. mats that can And, of course, you might take over just go for tastier salads. your lawn.

Shopping Center earlier that year . The space had a small front, which Caudill intended to paper over since they were making the spreads in the back, but Joe Singleton, who owns and works at Garden Springs Barber Shop across the hallway, said that he had four barbers who eat out every day. The owners of next-door Alterations & Sew Much More echoed the same notion. At minimum, Caudill figured that serving simple sandwiches might be a good way to market the handful of spreads they were producing in the back. They would put a table out in the hallway in case a customer wanted to hang out and eat. “If we can make a $100 a month to pay the electric bill, we’ll be happy,” Caudill remembers saying about the idea. “Next thing you know, one table tur ned into 10. ... It’s one of those things where we had no idea that it was going to take off like this. But we figured, if we put the love in it, if we try to make food that we like, let’s see if other people like it.” The quick and robust popularity of Dad’s Deli runs parallel to the cheese spreads, which Caudill started producing, commercially at least, in 2008. Prior to that, always fond of cooking, he would prepare the spreads for parties or other social gatherings. He remembers one tailgate where someone first gave him the idea to make the spreads for retail. “Somebody stood up and said, ‘Who made this?’ I kind of cringed,” Caudill recalls. “I thought somebody had gotten sick or something.” Instead, the person implored Caudill to get the items on the market. At the time, Caudill had been in the insurance business for over 20 years, and as the economy began to slow in 2007 and customers were slashing their coverage, Caudill, prodded by his partner , Susan Bratton, to do something he was passionate about, entertained the idea of a career realignment. He was also taxed, mentally, as his oldest son, Jayson, was stationed as an MP in Iraq. Hours and hours in the kitchen would be a welcome distraction. “He was ‘outside the wire’ for 14 hours a day,” Caudill says, referring to Jayson being outside the confines of a military base while on duty, “and I tried to do something to keep my mind of f of it, so I started making it.” Later, on a whim, Caudill took a plain container of his spread (it didn’t even have a label at that time) to Liquor Barn to see if the deli manager would be interested. Serendipitously, the buyer was there; she wanted to know if it was somebody trying to sell another beer cheese. “I said, ‘No, I’d rather have a fresh beer in my hand than a flat one in my cheese,” Caudill said. The buyer laughed

and took a taste. She asked everybody to try it. She said she had to have it in all six locations before Derby, and it was early April. “I’ve been in sales all my life. Y ou never say no,” Caudill said. “I was like a dog chasing a car that caught it – now what was I going to do with it.” A lot happened in the coming weeks – forms and inspections and fees from various state and local departments, labels and logos for the dif ferent spread varieties – but Caudill got his spreads (now called Dad’s Favorites, as Caudill was always known to feed his kids’ friends after sports practice) into the Liquor Barn locations. Then Dad’s picked up a small contract for some local Kroger grocery stores. By that time, Jayson was back from Iraq and unemployed, and his other son, Jeff, who had recently graduated from UK, was also without a job. Caudill thought he may have enough work for the three of them. “I said, ‘Guys, I’ve got a Kroger account, I think it will support us,’” he said. “It’ll be a little lean at first, but let’s see what we can do.” Dad’s Favorites started out being available in about eight to 10 locations, now Caudill says his products are in around 60 spots, including Liquor Bar n and Kroger locations in Kentucky and Ohio, as well as regional farmers markets. Along with being available in a growing number of outlets, the spreads have also begun to amass a number of local awards and accolades, such as the people’s choice award at the Incredible Food Show two years in a row and “Best KY Proud Food” at T aste of the Bluegrass. One contest even dubbed Dad’s as “best beer cheese,” even though they weren’t producing a beer cheese – a deliberate business decision since “in Kentucky, everything is beer cheese,” Caudill says. “I had a recipe for a beer cheese, but I didn’t want to make it because every-

body from Aunt Betty to Uncle Bill in Kentucky makes a beer cheese, and theirs is always the best,” he said. “So, I said I didn’t want to get in that business.” However, as a recent gesture to Country Boy Brewing for their one-year anniversary, Caudill and his family whipped up a batch of beer cheese using Country Boy’s Stampin’ Ground Nitro Porter beer. It was such a hit that Caudill, after years of saying he wouldn’t, has decided Dad’s will begin producing its first beer cheese. And for those who have given Caudill a hard time about his hours, he’s scouting out locations for a second Dad’s Deli, possibly even with longer hours, so maybe it will be easier for others to stop in for a bite.

Cow Poolers and Raw Dairy I

The styles you love made comfortably

BY ABBY LAUB | FITNESS COLUMNIST

n days of yesteryear , families used to milk their cows in the mor ning, likely by hand, bring in some fresh milk and serve it for breakfast. The more fat the better. Nowadays, with milk arriving in American kitchens cleaned up (a.k.a. pasteurized), fat skimmed off, stored in a plastic jug from a far m somewhere unknown, the idea of raw milk is a foreign one. However, lately I have been hearing of more and more folks talking about their delicious, healthy and fresh raw milk. It is intriguing and it makes sense. Why not consume something in its natural for m? Selling raw milk is not legal in the state of Kentucky, but that is where people like Jason Staggers and the Lexington Cow Poolers come in. Staggers, Cow Poolers’ founder , has six children, and he laughed, “All six of them have survived” consuming raw milk – no illnesses from bacteria or other potential hazards that can plague dairy produced at lar ge farms. Lexington Cow Poolers basically connects people who would like to legally procure raw milk from a far mer. Through share programs, families can become owners of the animals that are kept at a small far m. Farmers will essentially charge a room and board fee for the cow or herd, but the owners have the say in how they consume the animal’s milk. I think this sounds like a great idea. This is how people used to survive before the days of big commercial dairy operations. Not to slam big agriculture, because it is what feeds us, but it also requires milk to be pasteurized –since the herds on these farms mostly spend their days ankle deep in the feces from dozens of other cows. Disease and illness is not as easily controlled, so it becomes necessary to pasteurize. Better safe than sorry. Staggers explains, “Pasteurizing only became necessary when conventional farms grew to the point that they couldn’t control the health of their animals, and the cleanliness of the animals’ surroundings,” he said. “Alter natively when a cow is primarily grass fed and able to roam in the pasture, it’s going to be much healthier .” So is there a way to keep people healthy from harmful bacteria while providing the most beneficial dairy possible? Probably not. This is where diligence comes in. If you really want it, you need to seek it out. Staggers said his farmer has provided raw milk to families via herd sharing for about eight years, and is currently providing milk to about 150 families. To his knowledge no one has ever gotten sick. In the case of raw milk, Staggers explained, it’s a matter of retaining nutrients that are native to cow’s milk. Pasteurization kills off the beneficial bacteria contained in raw dairy. “I can probably only speak for our family – the reason we prefer raw dairy is we believe it’s healthier,” he said, adding that the bacteria is very healthy for digestion and “the gut.” Also, pasteurization kills a protein in the milk that aids in digestion. He said many people who are lactose intolerant drink raw milk and find that they are not in fact lactose intolerant but were just missing the necessary digestion. And, he said raw milk heals eczema, and he has heard of people who have seen major improvements in their dental health as a result of raw dairy. Staggers said, in his opinion, the only people who really need to consult with a physician before consuming raw milk are women who are pregnant or nursing. My suggestion? Go talk to a far mer. Or drop Staggers a line at lexcowpool@gmail.com for more information about herd sharing.

Given her extensive accomplishments, it might surprise folks to lear n that the local literary scene is not something she dove into headfirst upon moving to Lexington from her native Bulgaria in the mid 1990s. A writer from an early age, Klemer came to the states to marry her American fiance (now husband), whom she initially met through the pen pal or ganization International Pen Friends, but between raising her son, living in a new country, and working full-time as a project manager and software engineer for Lexmark, she experienced a distance from writing for more than a decade. “I wrote a lot before I came, then when I came to the United States, something happened and I didn’t write for 11 years,” she said. “Then all of a sudden, I started writing again – in English.” Klemer said the experience of being reacquainted with writing – in a new language, no less – was challenging, but liberating as well. “For the first time, I lear ned to tell the truth to myself,” she said. “Accents” (she speaks with a lovely Easter nEuropean one) has become a major theme in Klemer’s life – and the title of her radio show, an annual literary reading she organizes, and the publishing company she founded in 2010, which is currently her primary job. While it maintains a strong focus on local and regional poets, Accents Publishing occasionally publishes prose (something Klemer says she would like to do more of in the future) and also highlights national and inter national authors. Expanding the press’ focus is a distinct part of Klemer’s strategy for the press – something she hopes will ultimately help put local authors on a larger literary map. “It’s wonderful to have a local press that highlights the local community, the local art and local talent,” she said, “but unless (we include authors from) outside this area, then our press is not relevant outside this area.” Like many other major projects she has embarked on, Klemer had some initial hesitations about starting her own publishing company. “Ideas appear in my head, and the first thing I do is I say, ‘No, no, I can’t do that.’ For whatever

One Should Exercise Caution When kissing a daffodil. Somebody could get hurt. It helps to have dabbled in botany. To reach the Sweet of Hearts without splitting apart her innermost petals is a high art. While the kiss lasts, you’ll share her crown. You’ll shimmer in the sun for days after you drift apart.

Katerina Stoykova-Klemer, in her home office, says she has to make time for writing, “otherwise I wouldn’t be able to do anything else.”

LEXINGTON POETRY MONTH

PHOTO BY ROBBIE CLARK

National poetry month might take place in April, but local literary enthusiasts Katerina Stoykova-Klemer and Hap Houlihan have initiated a new local movement encouraging Lexington to produce more poetry. This June marks the inaugural Lexington Poetry Month, a monthlong writing marathon that asks participants to write a poem every day and submit it online. Submissions will be posted daily on the Accents Publishing blog. Acknowledging the fact that writing something for public consumption every single day is a tall order, participants may elect for a certain percentage of their poems to go unpublished.

The Most Welcome Last Resort We meet at last Plan Z I’ve heard a lot about you Worst Case Scenario

Registration is open through May 31. For more information, and to register to participate, visit www.accents-publishing/blog/lexington-poetry-month or email lex.poetry.month@gmail.com

I look forward to Working with you When-all-else-fails It’s going to be you and I now Do you feel lucky to end up with me?

Accents Publishing Klemer’s grassroots press has published around 30 books, which can be found at Morris Book Shop, sQecial MEdia, Joseph-Beth and online at www.accents-publishing.com.

reason,” she said. But the idea for the press wouldn’t leave her alone. “I have this test that I do, and it’s ‘will I regret not doing this?’” she explained. “If the answer is ‘yes, I will regret not doing it,’ I go ahead and do it. I can always fail, but at least I know I have tried.” The concept for the press emer ged following Klemer’s experience with getting two of her own books published; during that time, she says, she lear ned a lot of things – including that she has very strong opinions about how things should be done. With Accents Publishing, there were two major facets she hoped to distinguish

from other literary presses: publish the books quickly and make them affordable. “I have been through the process of trying to sell my own book, and I have been through the process of buying other people’s books. T o me that was very important,” she said. “It’s very hard to char ge for something that people can get for free unless they want to support you,” she added. “And they want to support you if they feel that you are doing what you can to meet them halfway.” With around 30 books published over the past three years at an average price of $5, one could easily check of f both of these aspects as successes for

Accents Publishing. Many of the books are hand-bound by Klemer and her husband, Dan, at their home of fice. She relies heavily on the assistance of four interns, who help with tasks ranging from project management to scheduling book signings to maintaining the blog, making it possible for Klemer to focus on other focuses of her life – such as writing, which she says is a priority to make time for. “It’s super important to me to continue writing regularly, or to think about writing or to do something writing-wise, so I have to make time,” she said. “I have to make time for it, otherwise I wouldn’t be able to do anything else.”
