From the Editor ...
From the keyboard of Pam Hedge
August has arrived. Where has the first seven
months of the year gone? Sure seems that time is
traveling awfully fast anymore! School starts for
most areas this coming week, and it seems like
they just got out. Summer surely didn’t seem to
pass so quickly when we were younger, did it? I
couldn’t wait for school to start again. But then
again, in the West school doesn’t start until after
Labor Day, so that could be the reason. Remember to watch out for all the kids now that school
is resuming.You never know when a youngster
will dart out in front of you, so be extra cautious
driving near school zones too!
• • • • • •
I attended a couple different conferences this
past month. The first - I accompanied Gay Oliver
and a couple other girls up to the Longaberger
Bee in Columbus, Ohio. How fun! It was really a
great time and I learned a lot about Longaberger.
I had never heard of Longaberger Baskets when
I moved to Kentucky, but it’s obvious by their
40 year history that they have been around a
while. We learned about their “Made In America”
campaign while there. How exciting is that?
Longaberger is returning production of all of
their products back to Made In America.Yes, jobs
for Americans. Pottery is being made in Buffalo,
New York; wrought iron work is being done in
Arkansas - they even have work being done in
the Seattle area. Good for Longaberger - Good
for the USA! If you are interested in learned
more, just get in touch with me.
••••••
It seems that Direct Selling is really the way to
go for some people. I’m happy to promote all
aspects of direct selling, which is obvious by the
ads for Celebrating Home and Thirty-One products this month, in addition to the Longaberger
Bee ad. Direct selling is a great second-income
for housewives and those needing a little extra
income. Make sure to remember that these are
local people, which means you are promoting
Shopping Local when you place orders with
these folks.
••••••
I also attended the FEAT Agri-Tourism Conference in Sandy Hook in July. For those of you that
know me, you’ll be proud to know that I actually
got up and did a presentation at the conference.
Yes, me! I was sure nervous, but I’ve got to get
used to speaking in public, so I was happy that
the Dave person forced me to do it! There are a
lot of great things happening in Eastern Kentucky.
Even more than that - the talent. Oh my gosh, we
got to hear story tellers, folk music and bluegrass
music, on top of seeing all the great artwork
offered by FEAT members. It was a lot of fun and
I learned a lot from attending. Not to mention I
got to meet several people that I’ve only communicated with through email. An added bonus!
••••••
I’d like to wish my sister Vickie a happy birthday this month. I sure hope I can get down to
Alabama again soon for a visit. I hope she has
the happiest of days. Also having a birthday this
month? My cousin Carol Ann - who turns 70
on August 30th. I hope you have a very special
birthday Carol!!
Until Next Month, Blessings to you ....

there a few days ago I snapped a few pictures. They were taken at Delilah Rogers’
cabin on Regis Road.”

Meet the Artist ...
Tami Booher, An Artist’s Journey
Appalachian Artist, Tami Booher, from Elliott County, Kentucky has begun a journey of telling
the story about the strong wise Appalachian Woman through painting and written word.
Because she is one, from the coal fields of Wise County Virginia, Tami knows about life as an
Appalachian Woman. She has lived in the beautiful area of Eastern Kentucky for a few years and
cannot think of any place better for a woman and artist of the Appalachians to call home.
From the 2012 Battle of Richmond Re-Enactment.

T
he rolling hills of Kentucky will again erupt with the boom of
cannon, firing of muskets and clashing of sabers this August
at the Battle of Richmond (KY) Civil War Re-enactment. This
year’s event will be held on Saturday and Sunday, August 24 & 25,
from 10 AM to 4 PM, at Richmond Battlefield Park, 1546 Battlefield
Memorial Highway (US 421), just south of Richmond.
Battles will be fought at 2 PM each day. Cavalry exhibitions
will be held at 10:15 each morning, followed by several activities
throughout the day. The Battle of Richmond Visitors Center, 101
Battlefield Memorial Highway, will have extended hours during the
two day event. Mt. Zion Church, adjacent to Richmond Battlefield
Park, will have a special Civil War era worship service at 11 AM on
Sunday.

We have numerous items &

At the beginning of this year, Tami, who normally
paints landscapes and nature found in the
Appalachian region, decided to veer off on a different
path and paint whimsical images full of color and
meaning. Tami is a full time artist who has been practicing
her craft for more than 30 years. She generally uses a
pallet knife to craft her realistic paintings of landscapes
and the natural world. She says, “The texture added by
the knife brings life to my paintings that would otherwise
be flat on the canvas”.
At the beginning of 2013, the year of her 50th
birthday, Tami thought it was time to tell some of her
story. “I have been fighting this story telling thing for
years. It just seemed to me that the subject of my
paintings should be enough. The story should be there
for everyone to see. But not everyone can hear the
thoughts the artist has while painting a picture.
“Sometime this year, I decided that perhaps it was time
to join the storytelling movement and see what might
happen,” Tami said.

9am-2pm Registration, Trophies to follow
Fought on August 29 & 30, 1862, the Battle of Richmond is the
second largest Civil War battle in the Commonwealth. Confederates
under Major General Edmund Kirby Smith defeated Federal troops
under Major General William “Bull” Nelson in the day long fight
fought in the hot summer of 1862.
The Battle of Richmond is the only example of a Federal army
ceasing to exist when the battle of finished. Confederate troops
captured Frankfort a few days later, the only time a Federal state
capital fell during the entire war, and the boys in gray got as far as
Florence, 10 miles from Cincinnati.

paintings are personal to Tami, just a little bit of her life story. While doing that
she started expanding and painting women that she has met in her life or have
heard about, and so the journey began. She decided to tell some stories of
other women born in the Appalachians.
“These women are, undoubtedly, some of the strongest women in this country, and I feel that their history has been largely ignored and it needs to be told”
Tami says about her roots.
This series of paintings is called Wise Woman: Strong Women of the Appalachian.
E
Tami has decided to use a whimsical, colorful format for her paintings. A
story or poem accompanies each work of art when shown as an exhibit.
“You will notice that these women do not have faces”. There is a reason for
this”, Tami explains. “I want to allow all women to be able to place themselves in
the paintings or perhaps someone that they knew and loved”.

The Strong Women are all women to the artist. Tami has a vision of creating many paintings depicting historical, and current Appalachian women, getting
these women out to the world, telling some of their stories, honoring these amazing women as well as herself as an artist.
Tami becomes excited as she explains what you will experience as you travel
with her on her new journey. “You may see a story about three women of the
same family called Generations, or there may be a poem about grandma’s apron,
in one story you will learn about the love of a grandma, while another painting
honors mothers. Photographers, painters, and many more strong women of the
Appalachian are depicted in my series of story paintings”.
Tami has a vision of this exhibit traveling the Appalachian region bringing these women to the world. She is always looking for old photos of amazing
women and their stories.
If you are interested in having a family member join the ranks of the Wise
Women you can contact Tami through her email for the wise women at [email protected] or you can contact and follow the journey
through her Facebook page, at www.facebook.com/naturepainter .

Wasp Spray ...
Everyone Should
Own a Can!
If you don’t have a gun, and even if you do, here’s a way
to wreck someone’s evil plans for you. Did you know this? I
didn’t. I never really thought of it before. I guess I can get rid
of the baseball bat.

Some days, you need a
break, and that doesn’t
mean lunch. When you
truly need to relax, call
me & schedule a massage!
On the heels of a break in and beating that left an elderly
woman in Toledo dead, self defense experts have a tip that
could save your life.
Val Glinka teaches self-defense to students at Sylvania
Southview High School . For decades, he’s suggested putting a can of wasp and hornet spray near your door or bed.
Glinka says, “This is better than anything I can teach
them.”
Glinka considers it inexpensive, easy to find, and more
effective than mace or pepper spray. The cans typically shoot
20 feet; so if someone tries to break into your home, Glinka
says “spray the culprit in the eyes”. It’s a tip he’s given to
students for decades.
It’s also one he wants everyone to hear If you’re looking
for protection, Glinka says look to the spray. “That’s going to
give you a chance to call the police; maybe get out.” Maybe
even save a life.
Please share this with all the people who are precious to
your life.
Did you also know that wasp spray will kill a snake?
And a mouse! It will! Good to know, huh? It will also kill a
wasp!!!
And best of all, immobilize a human.

w w w.a l lt h ing sc o u ntryky.c o m A good Pow Wow displays the best of our people. A good Pow
Wow will allow participants and spectators to see beautiful bright
and colorful regalia, excellent dancers and friendly and honest vendors.
By Bob Christian of Morehead
Pow Wow time is the Native American people’s way of meeting
together to join in dancing, singing, renewing old friendships and
making new ones. This is a time to renew thinking of the old ways
and to preserve our heritage and culture.
It will allow spectators to hear fantastic drum and flute music.
Most importantly it will allow spectators to feel the friendship and
spiritual sharing of our people.
Today Pow Wows are Inter-Tribal and you may see representatives from several different tribes and nations at a single Pow Wow.
Historically Pow Wows began as gatherings and/or festivals for
individual tribes.
Competition Pow Wows are especially entertaining. A good
competition Pow Wow will showcase state and national Native
American Dance and Drum champions.
The reasons for the beginning of these pow wows vary from
tribe to tribe. The Cherokee were spread out among, what are now,
several states in villages and townships which were often separated
by large geographic distances.
Wasp Spray -- A friend who is a receptionist in a church
in a high risk area was concerned about someone coming into the office on Monday to rob them when they were
counting the collection. She asked the local police department about using pepper spray and they recommended to
her that she get a can of wasp spray instead.
The wasp spray, they told her, can shoot up to twenty
feet away and is a lot more accurate, while with the pepper
spray, they have to get too close to you and could overpower
you. The wasp spray temporarily blinds an attacker until
they get to the hospital for an antidote. She keeps a can on
her desk in the office and it doesn’t attract attention from
people like a can of pepper spray would. She also keeps one
nearby at home for home protection. Thought this was interesting and might be of use.
What is a Pow Wow?
Abby Track Winners
They celebrated seven (7) festivals per year during which time
villages from all around would come to capital cities to celebrate,
practice their religion, decide governmental matters and socialize.
T
he July 2013 winner of our Abby Tracks contest
is Nikki Bramblette of Portsmouth, Ohio. Nikki
correctly found the Paw Print on Page 28 in the
new business story. She wins a $100.00 Gift Certificate
to the Red River Gorge Cabin Rentals in Slade, Kentucky.
Another interesting fact about the Cherokee is that they are not
allowed to marry within their own clan. This often make finding a
suitable mate difficult, so pow wows often served as a time to find
and court a perspective husband or wife.
ONE STOP SHOPPING FOR ALL YOUR TOBACCO SUPPLIES
Today, many pow wows are open to the public. This is an effort
to allow for better understanding between races regarding the culture, history and heritage of Native people. Spiritual Gatherings are
strictly by invitation only. However, the goal is always to capture as
much spiritual atmosphere as possible, even at a public pow wow.
Some say it is impossible to live as a good Native American
without living a spiritual existence. So much of our day to day practices are tied to spiritual beliefs.

Hanging The Wash ....
A
young couple moves into a new neighborhood. The
next morning while they are eating breakfast, the
young woman sees her neighbor hanging the wash
outside. “That laundry is not very clean; she doesn’t know
how to wash correctly. Perhaps she needs better laundry
soap.” Her husband looks on, remaining silent. Every time
her neighbor hangs her wash to dry, the young woman
makes the same comments. A month later, the woman is
surprised to see a nice clean wash on the line and says to her
husband: “Look, she’s finally learned how to wash correctly.
I wonder who taught her this? “ The husband replies, “I got
up early this morning and cleaned our windows.” And so it
is with life... What we see when watching others depends on
the clarity of the window through which we look.
The Many Benefits of
Broadleaf Plantain
By Ruby Means of Clay City
P
lantain found close at hand in most of our yards and considered a weed that is pulled up, sprayed with insecticides
or cut down with a weed eater is a great first aid plant.
Native Americans called it “Medicine Leaf”. A few fresh leaves
crushed or chewed and placed quickly on an open wound will
stop the bleeding. It also relieves pain and inflammation of bug
bites and stings, and the itching from poison ivy. It is a useful
remedy for many skin ailments, including diaper rash. The herb
has a long history of use as alternative medicine dating back to
ancient times.
Plantain is also edible, the young leaves can be added raw to
salads or cooked and are rich in vitamin B1 and riboflavin. Growing up in the hills of eastern Kentucky we ate cooked Plantain on
a regular basis during the spring and summer months.
Recipe for “Medicinal” herb tea: For colds and flu use 1 tbls.
dry or fresh whole Broadleaf Plantain (seed, root, and leaves) to
1 cup boiling water, steep 10 min. strain, sweeten. Drink through
the day.
Plantain Salve should be in every household! It works for
bites and rashes. It is great to use on animals with those hot spots
because it is safe if they lick it off.
Simple recipe for healing salve: In large pan place 1 lb. of
entire Broadleaf Plantain plant chopped, and 1 cup coconut oil,
cover; cook down on low heat till all is mushy and green. Strain
while hot, into half pint glass jars, cool before putting on lid. Use
for burns, insect bites, rashes, and all sores.

Business Spotlight
.. FESTIVALS - IN & AROUND KENTUCKY ..
Ravenna
RailRoad
Festival
September 21
By Pam Hedge
We are always excited to attend the local festivals in the area. Being from the West, we get to see a whole different kind of festival in
Kentucky. Take for instance the Mountain Mushroom Festival! We’ve attended every one of them since we arrived and it’s always so much
fun to visit with the local townspeople - some of whom we only see at the Festival every year. Sure, since it’s our local festival we are
extremely tired by the end of it, but that only lasts a day or two and then we’re already planning for the next one, as is all the folks on the
committee. Festivals take a lot of work. These fine folks take extra
time to make sure you see the best of their towns. Make sure you
show your appreciation by visiting them, at least once during the run.
It makes a difference. It really does.
This past month we went to a couple of bluegrass festivals in
the area. How much fun are they? Sure, the Carter County Shriner’s
Bluegrass Festival was very hot and muggy this year. But, you can’t
predict the weather. The organizers still put a lot of time and energy
into bringing the best show possible for all those in the audience. We
were extra blessed to be able to spend the day with Uncle Bobby
and Aunt Penny this year at the festival. The Velvet Blue performed
several of Bobby’s songs during their performance and we just love
them. Dave also got to attend the Red Lick Bluegrass Festival right
here in Estill County. A great three-day festival that’s held every year
out at the Tracy Jenkins Farm on Red Lick Road. If nothing else, the
scenery is worth the drive out there. I find myself looking around at
the beauty while I listen to the music.

If you want, I’m sure you could attend a bluegrass festival every weekend, right through Fall.
Where else can you go for the day and listen to
eight or ten bands? It amazes us, especially since
concerts and music festivals were pretty rare
where we grew up.
“Where the Bluegrass Kisses the Mountains”
A great place to live...
There are other festivals to note too. Like the
Woolleyworm Festival in Beattyville. That’s
coming up on October 25th-27th. They actually
race woolleyworms! Beattyville has several
events going on in the next few months, so plan
a visit up there sometime!
• Low cost of living.
• Surrounded by natural beauty - get away from the hustle and bustle!
• Close to it all - 20 minutes to Richmond, 45 minutes to Lexington.
A great place to work...
I’m excited about the Natural Bridge Artisan
Festival coming up at Natural Bridge State Park
on August 23, 24 and 25. Local artisans
showcasing their talents - and there is
certainly a lot of local talent around here. It’s
their first time trying this out, so make sure you
try to attend and show your support.
• Innovation Center for Entrepreneurs (ICE Box) Business Incubator.
• Dozens of unique “mom & pop,” locally-owned businesses.
• Growing support structure for entrepreneurs.
A great place to raise a family...
Of course, our big plans for the summer
include the Poppy Mountain Bluegrass Festival
in September. Oh my. The Dave person told
me last year to go ahead and plan on us being
there the whole week. We met such great
friends there and plan on seeing them all again
this year. We’ve already got our spots reserved
next to Charley and Vanessa from West Virginia.
And we can’t wait to see Dave and Sug again,
and Harold and Vickie and Glen and Della. Oh
gosh, the list just goes on and on. The Velvet
Blue are playing on the main stage this year, so
that’s extra exciting for us. And I’m really looking forward to a band out of Tennessee called
The Judge Talford Band. Sure to be a fun time!
Stop by our campsite if you attend. We’d love to
meet you!

THE RICH HISTORY OF POPPY MOUNTAIN RETURNS IN 2013
Marty Stevens & Don McBrayer invite you to the
2013
Lineup
....
ST
21 ANNUAL
Poppy Mountain
Bluegrass Festival
Tuesday, September 17 thru Saturday, September 21, 2013
Poppy Mountain is one of the most incredible events you will ever attend!
The Poppy Mountain Bluegrass Festival actually begins September 1 and
lasts for twenty-one fun-filled days.You may plan your schedule to arrive
at your convenience starting September 1st. There is never a question
about what you can do at Poppy Mountain.You can fish, hike, horseback
ride, rest, sight-see, and, of course, jam till your heart is content! One thing
for sure, you won’t leave Poppy Mountain saying there wasn’t anything to
do. Camping at Poppy Mountain is one of the richest experiences your
family will encounter.
The gates to Poppy Mountain open at midnight on the 1st of September
after a fun filled evening with the Annual Poppy Mountain Round-Up at
the top of the hill. We all get together (in anticipation) and have a grand
time with jamming, eating and reacquainting ourselves with old friends.
The “Round-Up” is for the die-hard first-come first-claiming camper sites!
These folks have brought their campers early to claim their (and sometimes their friend’s) camp sites! We start charging with the very minimal
fee from the time you “claim” your site. There are usually over 2,500
motor homes and many, many tents scattered throughout the 1400
beautiful acres of Poppy Mountain. Camping sites with FREE electric &
water hookups are usually available until Friday afternoon. There is a very
economical charge per night for sites. There are currently enough sites for
3,000 motor home plugs. We also offer to our handicapped guests, sites
close to the stage and a general store close to their sites.
Group rates are available for 10 or more campers by calling Marty. Come
spend the week or month with us, you will enjoy it!
See y’all on the “Round Up!”

Social and Therapeutic Horticulture
T
hose who love to garden probably are not surprised to learn
that gardening can be therapeutic. But what about those
suffering from disabilities? For physical disabilities, long or
short term, horticultural therapy stimulates quicker recovery for
many. For the emotionally troubled, including those in correctional
facilities, working with plants has been shown to help with management of anger and other emotions. The mentally ill also respond in
positive fashion to horticultural therapy.
When educators, science and medicine come to the garden, you
might know they’d have to have certificates of ability, licenses, prescribed treatments, plans of action--and of course a chunk of change
from either taxpayers, a rich client, volunteer contributors or large
companies (who hope for advertising returns on their ‘investment’).
Those of us who regularly garden or otherwise interact with the
flora of the world know you don’t have to have a college degree to
gain benefit. But let’s take a closer look at this growing field of social
and therapeutic horticulture.
A quick search of Wikipedia yields this definition of HT: the
engagement of a person in gardening and plant-based activities,
facilitated by a trained therapist, to achieve specific therapeutic
treatment goals. The American Horticultural Therapy Association,
in association with a number of universities, offers certificates and
degree programs. My search turned up Rutgers University, University of North Carolina, Penn State, Kansas State, Temple University
and Delaware Valley College of Pennsylvania as offering degree
programs in HT, but I am pretty sure there are others as this seems
to be a growing field (no pun intended).
Dr. Benjamin Rush, recognized as the father of modern psychiatry, was first to document the positive effect working in the
garden had on individuals with mental illness. Subsequent research
has proven cognitive, psychological, social and physical benefits of
gardens and gardening.
Landscapers and contractors can have a part in this matter, as

can those who might wish to pursue a university degree. For me,
building a raised planter, a retaining wall, or a sunken path or patio
that makes possible to do gardening from a wheelchair might be
things I would do to enable the client to get out and maintain that
hands-on touch they are unable to do as they once did. Just making
the backyard handicap accessible would be a big start. Depending on how lovely one’s yard and surroundings already are, some
additional landscaping might be desired to complete the peaceful
atmosphere that promotes healing and relaxation.
I like to offer custom landscape work, combining in many cases
a natural look, water features in the garden and some edibles to go
with the professional landscape. Will let the young person looking
to have a lucrative career get the degree in horticulture therapy,
as it probably offers the money and benefits that a self employed
gardener is usually unable to obtain. I know the gardeners who sell
produce at the local farm market don’t do it because it produces a
lot of wealth. Country folk always have benefitted in ways not measured in dollars when it comes to planting, cultivating and harvesting.
It would be simplistic to say that the vast majority of those
who live in big cities, especially inner-city apartment dwellers,
are all emotionally or mentally challenged. But when you realize
those people often live their lives without benefit of planting a seed
and watching it grow to become a flower or an edible veggie, it’s
no wonder there are police on duty all hours of the day and night
patroling the streets.
I hope someday soon many will find the refreshing and rehabilitative benefits of gardening, or at a minimum be able to walk
among the lovely greenery of a park, garden, farm, orchard or a
beautifully landscaped yard. -

2013 KY Grazing School
Livestock producers should make plans to attend the 2013 Kentucky Grazing School August 21-22 in Woodford County. Informational sessions will be held at the Woodford County Extension office,
with hands-on activities taking place at the University of Kentucky’s
C. Oran Little Research Center.
The school is hosted by extension specialists from the UK College of Agriculture, Food and Environment. It begins at 7:30 a.m.
and ends at 5:30 p.m. EDT both days. Presenters will offer valuable
educational information for new and experienced grazing systems
managers.
Attendees will learn grazing information specific to Kentucky
and with a focus on summer and fall grazing options. A unique feature of the program gives you the opportunity to design a grazing
system based on your property. You should bring a printed aerial
map of your farm to the school. You can find maps through the local
Farm Service Agency or online through Google Maps.
During the first day, participants will work in groups to install a
rotational grazing system including assessing pasture yield and setting up small paddocks. Cattle will then graze the paddocks. On the
second day, the participants will observe the grazed paddocks and
hear reports from each group.
In addition, UK specialists in forages, beef cattle, dairy cattle
and veterinary science will present a variety of topics ranging from

Potato Digging Time
I always thought my dad picked the hottest time of the year
to dig potatoes, but now I know that we had to dig them when the
vines died down, usually in early August. Once the potato vines
turn yellow and start to die down, then we can get out there and dig
those spuds.
Dig potatoes now and let them air dry for a few days in an area
where the sun will not shine on them. Even a little indirect sunlight
may cause your potatoes to sunburn. Let potatoes cure out a few
days before storing them in your basement or cellar for the winter.
As soon as the potatoes are dug, go ahead and sow your fall
garden with turnips, mustard and kale. Additional fertilizer is
rarely needed now since most gardens are heavily fertilized in the
spring. Sow turnip seed ½ inch deep. Turnips take 58-60 days from
planting to mature. Fall crops such as turnips and mustard should
be sown by Labor Day weekend for the best results.
There is always the question on what to do with all that yellow
squash that you get in your summer garden. Try this recipe this
month with yellow squash from your garden or the Powell County
Farmer’s market.

Torrent Falls’
Mid-Summer
Report
I
Jeff Clair signs with
Lonesome Day Records
L
onesome Day Records is proud to announce that we have
signed Jeff Clair. No stranger to the bluegrass stage Jeff has
toured with some of bluegrass music’s biggest acts such
as Dave Evans & River Bend, Larry Sparks & The Lonesome
Ramblers, Wendy Miller & Country Grass, and even appeared on
stage with the great Dr. Ralph Stanley! In late 2012 Jeff decided it
was time to step out on his own, assemble his new band “ Half Past
Lonesome” and release his debut album “They Called Him Jesus”,
a self released album that is still getting airplay around the world! t is often the case that the long sweltering days of mid summer
yield some of the most challenging climbing conditions our
region has to offer. While high humidity levels push heat indices
toward the 100 degree mark and afternoon thunderstorms threaten
to pop up without warning, a climber may not know whether to
take off their shirt, put on a rain jacket or shrug it all and go for a
swim. Getting outside to play in any season requires us to consider the weather and challenges us to prepare for the unexpected,
especially in July. The daily forecast will carry you only so far in
this part of country. While it’s hot and cloudless here in our holler,
you might be drenched in rain just a mile down the road. Give it an
hour and the opposite may be true.
For fifteen years now, Jeff Clair has volunteered his time and
talent to showcase Bluegrass and Gospel music for thousands
of Appalachian Service Project volunteers. Appalachian Service
Project (ASP) is a volunteer organization that benefits low income
families in Appalachia. The ASP volunteers come from various
states and repair homes for those less fortunate in order to improve
their living conditions. During a 7 week period a new set of 80-120
volunteers arrive in Breathitt County as well as other parts of Appalachia.
If anything, all of this uncertainty gives us a sense that anything could happen. Where each passing moment is a chance to
experience something we hadn’t thought possible. I sit here now in
the early morning at the end of July in a sweater looking at my hot
cup of coffee ready to welcome the added warmth, not disdain it.
After sweating and cursing for most of the month, July has seen fit
to grant us a few days of near perfection. The recent cool mornings and mild afternoons seem to have come from nowhere and we
couldn’t be happier about it.
So, while it is often the case that these mid summer days are
a sweltering affair, it is more often true that we really have no idea
what to expect. Every day will bring new challenges to bear and
with them new rewards to reap. We hope you will come and share
them with us, on the rock or elsewhere.

Jeff says, “Appalachian Service Project provides a great service
to the people in our region and they should be commended for it. Providing an educational concert for the volunteers is my way of
thanking them for all they have done to help the people of Appalachia. In addition to making lifelong friends and meeting thousands
of people we have had the opportunity to present bluegrass and
traditional music to an audience that may have not heard this style
of music otherwise. Many of the volunteers come from hundreds of
miles away and I’m glad we had the opportunity to introduce all of
them to bluegrass music and bring in new fans for the music.” Randall Deaton, label owner, says; “I have known Jeff Clair
since he was 14 years old. We both grew up in the same county in
Eastern Kentucky. Jeff’s love for bluegrass music and his dedication to using music to give back to his community are second to
none. I look forward to helping Jeff take the next step in his music
career. I believe that Jeff will be creating fresh new music that will
help keep bluegrass music alive and well for years to come.”
Production on Jeff’s new album is set to begin in early fall at
the Lonesome Day Records studio and is scheduled for release early
in 2014! Jeff will also have a cut on the Bob Seger tribute album
coming from Lonesome Day Records. That album will be entitled
“Silver Bullet Bluegrass” and will feature several of bluegrass musics top artists. For more on Jeff Clair visit his website at halfpastlonesome.com

Reed,
Trim Your shrubs-but be careful!
By this time of year most all of us should have had their shrubs
trimmed. Taxus, not to be confused with those you pay in November, is a shrub that many of us have in front of our house. It is also
known as Japanese Yew. It is one that has really grown now after
the rains and most I have seen need to be pruned now. Taxus can be
pruned with a set of hand held shrub trimmers or a set of electric
shrub trimmers. Cut back and trim all these branches now but BE
CAREFUL WITH YOUR TRIMMINGS. If you live in the country
and have a cow, goat , horse or even dog that eats taxus trimmings,
it will die. Period. No questions asked. Get the grave dug.
Taxus is very poisonous to any animal and it seems that every
year we hear of a cow, bull or horse that dies very close to the place
where they ate the shrub. Some varieties may have a red berry that
is equally as poisonous. Keep all animals and children away from
these, as well.
If you trim your shrubs this month, all trimmings should be burned up or bagged and thrown away. Do not throw trimmimgs over the
fence where the livestock will eat them. They may not find them
until fall, but if they do, and they are green they will eat them and
then it is all over for them. Taxus shrubs are great plants for the
landscape, but these shrubs and livestock certainly do not mix.

The Town of Olive Hill
For a little town I’d like to say
My hometown sure stands out.
The great way folks ban together
Is what I’m talking about.
The effort for Relay for life.
The work folks do all year,
And the goals they have achieved
Sure make me proud to be from here.
The sight of candlelight vigils
And so many that come to walk,
And to hear a cancer survivor
Stand up and give a talk.
Makes me more thankful for the gift of life
And to want to do my part,
And light candles for my loved ones passed
Who live inside my heart.
I hope the cities of all sizes
Will step up and take a part,
And be more like this little town
With its loving, giving heart.
To find a cure for this disease
So it can no longer kill,
Thank you so much, for all you do,

Brianna’s Sanctuary

By Margaret Cupp
All things bright and beautiful,
All creatures great and small,
All things wise and wonderful,
The Lord God made them all.
---- Cecil Francis Alexander
Nestled in a small hollow at 2890 Black Creek Road, about 2.5 miles from the
heart of Clay City, Kentucky, is a safe haven for small dogs and cats, identifiable
only by a small yellow sign with red lettering. Although the sign is small, the love
and dedication at Brianna’s Sanctuary and Rescue is great. Brianna’s Sanctuary
and Rescue was founded by Linda Powell, and named after her niece who also has
a love for animals and taking care of them. Brianna’s Sanctuary and Rescue was
established in August of 2010 and the Sanctuary housed at that time 14 dogs, now
they have grown and have approximately 50 dogs and numerous cats. Brianna’s
Sanctuary and Rescue aspires to maintain a no kill shelter where animals can live
until they die or are adopted, and each animal is spayed/neutered and vaccinated.
Brianna’s Sanctuary and Rescue is committed to helping the Powell County community.
Brianna’s Sanctuary and Rescue recently received a grant to help spay and
neuter the animals at the sanctuary. Linda believes strongly in a spay and neuter
program for the sanctuary for there are so many unwanted dogs and cats; the sanctuary often has to turn away rescues due to the limited amount of space, costs for
veterinarian services, and food. Veterinary services are provided by Countryside
Animal Hospital of Mount Sterling who is very supportive of the sanctuary in time of
need.
Brianna’s Sanctuary received non-profit status in December 2010, and is
now officially a 501 (c) (3) non-profit organization. The Board Members are as follows: President, Linda Powell; Vice President, Connie Centers; Treasurer, Angel
Rowe; and Secretary, Tammy Curtis (Thomas Powell is an active member). Board
members and other volunteers, 20 active and approximately 160 supporters, have
contributed much time and energy in making Brianna’s a success, but there is still
a great need for future growth to help small animals in Powell County. Angel Rowe
stated when asked why she volunteers so much of her time, “I have always dreamed
of working in an animal rescue. I love animals”. Linda Powell and her volunteers
share a dream; the dream of finding loving homes for all the animals at the rescue.
Brianna’s has received a good deal of supports from the Powell County community, donating money at businesses where the small houses labeled Brianna’s
Sanctuary and Rescue are displayed. Tractor Supply supports Brianna’s with their
Adopt-a-Pet Program, and also allows Brianna’s to have fund raising and adoption
events at their stores in the surrounding counties. Brianna’s host yard sales and
attends special events in the area such as fairs, Patriot’s Day, the Corn Festival,
and Court Day in Mt. Sterling to raise funds for the sanctuary. Linda states, “We
have had a lot of support from the people of Powell County, and I am grateful for
everyone’s help”.
Brianna’s Sanctuary and Rescue started from very humble beginnings, just
two kennels with dirt floors, to twelve kennels (two large and ten small) and three
outside lots for exercising the dogs. A small building was added to house new rescues and also for bathing and grooming with the help of Michael Rose, Clark Centers, Greg Knack and family members working on the construction. Thomas Powell,
a master electrician, provided wiring services for the kennels and building (which
are still in need of completion), and also helps Linda care for the animals. All labor
was donated, and due to the increased need, Brianna’s Sanctuary and Rescue
hopes to increase their capacity in the future to add more kennels.
Brianna’s Sanctuary is in need of a new septic system for the kennel,
gas water heater, insulation for the building, heat and air conditioning, bathing and
grooming equipment, more kennels, resurfacing the floors of the existing kennels,
houses for cats and cat trees, and a kennel for kittens. Brianna’s has 25 feral (wild)
cats and 50 domesticated. Linda stated, “We can place on average 20 dogs per
month, but only 20 cats per year. Linda said, “It is very difficult when she has to turn

Wilderness Wanderings . . .
By Bill Gordon
Stanton, KY
Jewelweed
I stopped the hiking group by a tall bushy plant sporting beautiful trumpet-shaped orange flowers, and pointed out some halfinch long seed pods hanging from delicate, slender stems on some
of the branches. No one in the group knew what this plant was, yet
I consider it in the top five most important plants to positively know
and become familiar with in the wilderness. “This is Jewelweed” I
said, “also called Touch-Me-Not, and if you’re a nature detective,
you’ll really like this plant”. Everyone gathered close as I pointed
out some small droplets of water sitting on the leaves in perfect
spherical shapes. “The Jewelweed is a succulent plant, and the waxy
coating on the stems and leaves holds moisture inside the plant, and
it also causes rain or dew to form these perfect little “jewel-like”
droplets on the leaves. When sunlight shines on the drops, it’s pretty
spectacular.
I picked a stem and carried it over to the stream bank. When
submerged, the leaves turned from green to bright silver, just like
shiny aluminum foil. Really cool! Air, trapped on the surface of the
plant, causes the silver color to “appear” underwater.
“Now watch what happens when I pull the plant out of the water” I said as I lifted the stem up into the sunlight. It was perfectly
dry…except for a few tiny droplets of water sitting on a leaf. When
the sun hit them, they sparkled like diamonds. Pretty impressive. …
Now I had everyone’s attention, and I knew they would remember
this plant in the future.
Jewelweed’s showy tricks with dew drops are not the important
things to remember though; this common North American plant is a
very valuable medicinal herb as well. The watery sap of Jewelweed
will relieve itching, and help heal poison ivy, insect bites, and a
variety of skin rashes. It is good for fungal infections like athlete’s
foot and ringworm. Historically it has been used for all sorts of dermatitis, rashes, kidney and liver conditions, burn dressing, urinary
problems; and as a yellow-orange dye. The plant is a natural source
of an anti-inflammatory and fungicide…which happens to be the
same chemical compounds as the active ingredient in Preparation H
ointment. Both Poison Ivy and Stinging Nettles can be bothersome
for most, and potentially serious for some. When exposed to either,
promptly rubbing exposed skin with crushed Jewelweed stems and
leaves can often avoid skin outbreaks and relieve itching. What’s
pretty cool is Jewelweed often can be found in the same locations as
the nettle or ivy…if you become familiar with the identification of
these plants.
OK, you “nature detectives” out there, let’s take a closer look
at the Jewelweed plant. There are actually two varieties common
here in eastern Kentucky. They can be found in forest openings, field
edges, meadows, or along streams and wet areas. One has the orange spotted flowers, and the other has yellow flowers. I have both
species growing together right in my yard. The inch-long trumpetshaped flowers are strikingly beautiful, delicately hanging from a
slender thread of a stem. They are good attracters for hummingbirds. And get this…they are symbiotic with the hummingbird…
mutually beneficial to each other. When a hummingbird comes close
to the flower, the Jewelweed flower has the ability to open its petals
to accommodate the long beak and tongue of the bird. The bird gets
pollen on its forehead, which gets carried to other flowers for crosspollination. Here’s something even neater. The Jewelweed plant has
a second type flower; you have to look closely to see them. They
lack the showy petals, and never appear to open at all. These small,
insignificant flowers actually produce most of the seed pods for the
plant. The blooming season for Jewelweed is all through summer
and fall, so you will see buds, flowers, and mature seed pods all on
Spotted Orange Jewelweed leaves showing some dew drops on the
leaves. Some birds and amphibians depend on this valuable water
supply in dry summer weather conditions.
the same plant from July to October.
The seed pods resemble small green cigars. When touched
lightly, they explode open and shoot the seeds several feet from the
parent plant, ensuring optimum propagation. The seed pods have
a part that acts like a coiled spring, and it is always fun to lightly
pinch the pods and feel them wiggle in your fingers as they release
the seeds. If you capture the seeds, they are edible, having a walnutlike taste. Because they are small, they are not an emergency food
source of any significance, but it is fun to “pop” a few seed pods on
a wilderness walk, whether you are a big kid or little kid. And don’t
disregard the medicinal value of the plant. In a clinical study of poison ivy treatments the conclusion was “of 115 patients treated with
Jewelweed, 108 responded most dramatically to the topical application of this medication and were entirely relieved of their symptoms
within two or three days. It was concluded that Jewelweed is an
excellent substitute for ACTH and the corticosteroids for poison ivy
dermatitis treatment.”
Take a walk around your place and identify patches of Jewelweed, and become familiar with this really cool and most useful
native plant. Get some seeds and start growing some in your flower
beds. They are easy to grow and reseed themselves each year…and
they are a good source of water for many birds in dry months, as
well as terrific Hummingbird attractors for your yard. Hey, speaking
of Hummingbirds, I am feeding one and a half gallons of my “jet
fuel” nectar in my seven feeders every day now. Baby Hummers are
now immature “teenagers” and are everywhere! All the baby birds
are now fledged from their nests and boxes, and there are family
flocks of Tufted Titmice, Cardinals, Red-bellied Woodpeckers, and
Chickadees visiting my feeding stations daily. We found a baby Box
Turtle in the garden the other day while digging potatoes…slightly
bigger than a quarter and quite cute, …for a tortoise. I am also finding wee baby Ring Neck Snakes in mulched areas, especially after
we have had some rain. And a surprise visitor flew into my yard
this morning; …a Red Shouldered Hawk, his whitish-colored wing
patches showing as he flew across the yard and onto a nearby tree
branch.
Life in the country is never dull, there is always something happening around you if you just take a moment to look close.

Rescue,
an animal away, and I must do so every day. We turn away 6-10 animals each week
due to lack of space and funds”. The biggest expense Linda notes is the veterinarian
fees, medications, and food for the animals.
Brianna’s Sanctuary and Rescue work very hard to ensure that animals are placed in loving homes. The adoption process takes several visits with a
person(s) who wishes to adopt an animal. Linda believes it is very important to establish a relationship with the animal before adopting to ensure that both the animal and
the owner will be compatible as lifelong friends. The new owner must also provide
pet references and personal references so Brianna’s Sanctuary and Rescue are
assured the adopted animal will be in a safe environment. Linda stated, “Dogs and
cats always love you unconditionally, they are your best friends and just want to be
loved”. Adoption fees are charged to support the sanctuary and are $150. Brianna’s
has a Face Book Page and can also be found on the Pet Finders website.
Linda and Thomas Powell were married in 1978, and moved to Powell
County in 2005, spending weekends in a one room building while building the home
they currently live in. The one room building is now the office space for Brianna’s
Sanctuary and Rescue. When Linda and Thomas came to Powell County, they had
three elderly dogs, and when their dogs passed away, Linda and Thomas decided
they wanted to help other animals. This was the beginning of Linda’s dream for an
animal rescue and sanctuary which has grown yearly into a safe haven for small
animals.
Linda Powell, originally from Wolfe County, Kentucky, was a Registered
Nurse from 1990-2006 until she suffered from a second stroke and was forced to
retire. Linda started her nursing career at St. Joseph’s Hospital in Lexington, served
as Assistant Director of Nursing at Pine Meadows Nursing Home, Director of Long
Term Care at Woodford Hospital, as a Medical Administrator for Fayette County Jail,
and finally as a Registered Nurse for Clark Regional Hospital in Winchester before
she became disabled. When asked why she became a nurse Linda stated, “I was in
a car accident in 1981. The nurses were always a source of encouragement visited
me frequently, caring for me during my recovery; their caring for me inspired me to
pursue a career in nursing”. Now, Linda uses her nursing skills to help care for the
animals at Brianna’s Sanctuary and Rescue.
Thomas Powell, originally from Powell County, Kentucky, is an active
member of Brianna’s Sanctuary and Rescue. Thomas attended Eastern Kentucky

University after receiving his GED, but chose to discontinue his college plans in
order to support Linda in her dream of becoming a nurse. Thomas apprenticed as an
electrician helper and later became certified as a Master Electrician, a skill he has
used to help provide electric for the building at the sanctuary and rescue. Thomas
is also a locksmith and a notary, providing notary services for Brianna’s Sanctuary
and Rescue when needed as well as for others in Powell County. Thomas provides
transportation for Brianna’s Sanctuary and Rescue to pick up donations such as food
and other needed supplies. Thomas is also partially disabled due to a heart condition
which limits him significantly.
Both Linda and Thomas would love to rescue larger dogs, but due to
their disabling conditions, they are both unable to handle larger animals. Linda and
Thomas want Brianna’s Sanctuary and Rescue to continue in the event they are no
longer able to be a part of the organization, and hope that there will always be a safe
haven for animals at Brianna’s Sanctuary and Rescue for years to come. Linda is
very concerned that the Powell County Animal Shelter will only hold animals for 10
days before considering an animal for euthanizing, and hopes she will be able to continue providing rescue for the smaller dogs and cats for the need is getting greater.
End Note: There is a great need in Powell County for reduced rates for
spay and neutering for those on limited incomes. Currently, the Animal Shelter of
Powell County is unable to provide for the increasing demand for sheltering stray
or unwanted dogs and cats. James Anderson, Powell County’s Judge Executive reported by phone interview that the Powell County Animal Shelter’s intake of animals
was 421 in 2009, 481 in 2010, and 664 in 2012. Judge Anderson noted that the
Friends of Powell County and Brianna’s Sanctuary and Rescue assisted in rescuing
and placing 352 animals in 2012 from the Powell County Animal Shelter. The Powell
County Shelter in 2012 adopted out 95 animals, 72 animals reclaimed and 32 died
due to age, disease, or at birth; sadly, 120 animals were euthanized. Judge Anderson
said, “We try to keep the animals as long as we can past the 10 day limit, but due to
space and costs, it is not always possible.” Judge Anderson reported that the new
animal shelter should be open by the end of June of this year, and is located on Echo
Valley Road. The new animal shelter, although it will be a newer facility with a kitten
room, puppy room, and quarantine room, will still be a challenge to provide for the
growing overpopulation in Powell County. Judge Anderson is grateful for Brianna’s
Sanctuary and Rescue as well as the Friends of Powell County for their efforts in
helping rescue the growing population of dogs and cats, and agrees that spaying
and neutering dogs and cats is the solution to the growing issue of overpopulation
of animals in the area. Judge Anderson (as does this author) supports the need for
low costs spay and neutering for dogs and cats based on income and agrees this is
a much needed program.
