Children are suffering from a hidden epidemic of child abuse and neglect. Every year more than 3 million reports of child abuse are made in the United States involving more than 6 million children (a report can include multiple children).

We need your help, if ever I have found my calling in the events I put on, I stand behind this one more than any I have ever done.

Do you like burgers and ice cream — and won’t be at the Kentucky Derby — Mark May 3rd as a good day to visit Flavor Isle in the Smiths Grove Historic District. Their 50th Anniversary celebration will feature the 1964 menu with 1964 prices!

Do you like burgers and ice cream — and won’t be at the Kentucky Derby — Mark May 3rd as a good day to visit Flavor Isle in the Smiths Grove Historic District. Their 50th Anniversary celebration will feature the 1964 menu with 1964 prices! Check out my blog post from 2012:

I first noticed Flavor Isle while I was passing through Smiths Grove on my way to Porky Pig Diner a few weeks ago. I’ve occasionally stopped in Smiths Grove for gas, but that’s about it. I really didn’t know there was any decent place to eat here, and I had no idea there was a burger joint this cool. After asking around, I’m surprised I never heard about Flavor Isle before — it’s been here forever! It has belonged to the current owner for nearly 50 years, and I don’t know if it was around before 1964 or not. But it’s been around a lot longer than I have.

I really thought I could fit this ride into a normal one-hour lunch break, and I almost did. But two missed turns on the way back turned into 25+ extra miles of fun, so I was a little bit late. No worries. It’s hard to get too lost for too long around here, and it’s fun to ride new roads even if you don’t know where they’re heading, or whether they’re heading anywhere at all…

It’s Spring, but not quite Springtime.

 

 

 

 

 

 

I-65.

Smiths Grove, KY is located at I-65 Exit 38. At the exit, head North past the fast food joints and across the railroad tracks. You’ll find Flavor Isle at First & Main, about a mile from the I-65 exit in the center of the Historic District. It really is sad to think about all the people who never make it past McDonalds or Wendy’s. Poor people. I used to be one of those people.

 

Buggy Parking I.
Antiques I.

 

Antiques II.
First & Main.
Here we are…
Ice cream. You scream. Smiths Grove was featured in Halloween.
Flavor Isle.
You can order & eat outside (two tables), or you can order & eat inside (four tables). You could probably even order inside & eat outside, or order outside & eat inside!
Bacon Cheeseburger, Fries, and a Chocolate Milkshake.

VERDICT:  I talked to another customer who said he’d been visiting for 38 years and that his Mom had been coming for many years before he was born. I can see why Flavor Isle has been in business for so long — it’s a great place to grab a Burger and a Milkshake.

They are proud of the fact that they make their own patties out of fresh, never frozen, ground beef. It’s a friendly place with character, and it might take a few minutes longer than the drive-thrus down the street, but I can’t imagine going to those places while I can get a good fresh made-to-order meal for the same price here! And there’s nothing wrong with relaxing on the patio with a Milkshake while the rest of your meal is prepared.

Flavor Isle reminds me a lot of Berties in Brownsville. Both are small places with bigger menus than you might expect. And like the ladies at Berties, Gail at Flavor Isle wouldn’t tell me what their specialty was — she just said everything was good, and I might as well believe her because she certainly make a mean burger! She also told me that the owner, Joyce, would be having some sort of 50th Anniversary celebration in 2014 where she sells everything at 1964 prices. I do not want to miss that…

Flavor Isle.

Smiths Grove is a neat little town to drive through. It feels like a lot of other old railroad towns that used to be bigger, but as the second-largest town in Warren County it is a healthy community. I’m not sure if the antiques business is still going strong here or if it has seen better days, but the Historic District definitely has some cool old buildings.

Antiques III.
The Victorian House B&B is for sale across the street from Flavor Isle. I almost stopped and bought it, but then I remembered I left that $700,000 at home because I was just running out for a burger.
Antiques IV.
This is about the last place I expected to see a MMA Gym, but there it is… in an old antiques shop, of course.

 

 

 

 

I-65.

 

Buggy.
I’m guessing it used to be a school, but school is not in session anymore. Oh, and horse poop.

 

 

Horse Shoeing & Saddle Shop.

 

Whoops.

Now I know that had I taken that second left above, I would have been home a lot sooner. But getting a little turned around in Horse & Buggy territory and riding through some nice farmland I’ve never seen before wasn’t so bad. Anyway, I’ll remember that turn next time!

I guessed left…

 

…and left was most definitely not right.

 

 

I had to choose left this time, which would have been right the first time. Technically, left and right were both wrong.

 

 

 

I ended up heading back towards Smiths Grove. It took me a minute to realize that, and now I realize that when it’s cloudy and road signs are missing, it’s easy for these things to happen.

 

Yeah, that’s the same Horse & Buggy from 30 minutes ago. They’ve covered some ground since I last saw them, but I covered more.
Buggy Parking II.

 

The Dam Store’s still closed, baby. The Dam Store is still closed…
KTM Super Duke R, cleaner than usual.
Barren River Lake Dam.

 

 

 

If you gotta run into the Po-Po, a stop sign is a good place to do it!

 

Headin’ home, ahead of the storm…
Planned Route.
Route.

 UPDATE (6/20/12):  Stopped in for some Ice Cream on the first evening of Summer 2012…

Flavor Isle.
Oreo Blizzard & Small Swirl Ice Cream Cone.

VOICE BEHIND ME:  What are you doing?
ME:  Taking a picture.
VBM:  I know.  But of an ice cream cone?
ME:  OK, I see your point…

I’m telling y’all, this is hard work.

Historic District, Smiths Grove, KY

This is a bit different than the typical business page we suggest. Instead of us explaining it, why not hear from the creators:

25:40 love is a family project with the goal of fully funding our international adoption. https://www.etsy.com/shop/2540love

Our mission: to do for the “least of these” as Jesus said in Matthew 25:40.

25:40 love is a family project with the goal of fully funding the international adoption of our little girl for whom we anxiously await. With the average cost of an international adoption being $35,000, most families rely on fundraising to help bring their child home. Once our adoption is finalized, 25:40 love will continue to serve adoptive families and other worthy causes through selling our hand-crafted reclaimed wooden chalkboards, burlap message boards, wooden photo frames, knotted necklaces and custom t-shirts.

We pray that He will use us (and you) to be a light and be His hands and feet. Each product sold will help “the least of these”.

We can’t change the world, but, together, we can change a life.

Like they said, 25:40 love is a family project with the goal of fully funding their international adoption. Check out their store www.etsy.com/shop/2540love as well as fan their facebook page!

Why is the room heated?

By Admin, BuyLocalBG.com, BuyLocalBg@gmail.com/
Friday, April 11th, 2014 7:30 AM CST

Why is the room heated? The room is heated to warm your muscles, to prevent injuries and to allow for a deeper release in your body. Sweating also helps to flush the toxins and impurities from your body.

Reasons for heating the room:

  1. Enhances blood circulation and vasolidilations of the capillaries weaving around your muscles.
  2. The more blood delivered to the body, will in turn, help increase the absorption of nutrients and the elimination of toxins.
  3. The warmed muscles combined with the movement of yoga will more effectively stimulate the lymphatic systems, the toxin dump system of the body and increases lymphatic drainage.
  4. When blood passes through warm muscles, it allows oxygen in the blood to release easier from the hemoglobin. Remember oxygen is one of the primary antioxidants of the body. The increase in oxygen purifies the body.
  5. Warm muscles = elastic muscles. Elastic muscles stretch in a fluid like way allowing for a greater range of motion during stretching and yoga. Cold muscles do not absorb shock or impact as well. The more elastic your muscles are the less susceptible you are to injury.

But, I am not flexible …

This is the most common misconception that prevents people from experiencing yoga. It is not about how flexible you are. It is about stretching your body and quieting your mind, and healing the soul. So, do not worry about being flexible. The more inflexible you are the more you need yoga. You become flexible by doing yoga.

Can I do Hot Yoga? 

Almost anyone of any age can do this type of yoga. All students work at their own level and pace. Our aim is to help you strengthen and improve your body’s natural range of motion and restore flow throughout all your bodily systems. Students may range from people with a chronic illness to athletes of every shape and size. As always, we recommend checking with your healthcare professional before starting any physically engaging activity such as Hot Yoga.

Is it a cardiovascular workout & can I lose weight? 

You will find Hot Yoga challenging, no matter your level of fitness. Each posture combines flexibility, strength, and balance to work your whole body. A 90-minute class can burn approximately 500-800 calories. With patience, persistence and dedication, you can lose inches and develop muscle tone and strength that might never come from other forms of exercise.

What are the benefits hot yoga?

Relieves stress     Strengthens the heart     Relieves tension     Improves blood circulation     Increases flexibility     Promotes relaxation     Expands lung capacity     Eliminates toxins     Lose inches     Develops muscle tone    Beautifully sculpts the body

  • It is the perfect lifetime fitness program for a busy lifestyle.
  • It assists in the union of body, mind and spirit.
  • It will stretch your body from the bone to the skin and from the head to your toes.
  • It helps you quiet the mind and energize the body.
  • It reaches deep into the tissue.
  • It helps to relieve tension and stress.
  • It revitalizes and assists in over coming many physical and emotional problems.
  • It is the ONLY form of exercise which allows every muscle, every system, and every cell of the body to be affected from every possible angle.
  • It must be experienced to be fully appreciated.

Another great artist coming to The SoKomics Expo 2014 is Charleen Brinson. Here is a short bio from her website:

Most children give up their world of fantasy when they enter school. I, on the other hand, embraced it. Some call it strange, but I find the strangest things in life are the most beautiful.

Most of my work is often described as dark fantasy and slightly macabre but still enough to make you feel a tad uneasy.

The Work:

Old Habits Die Hard: Big Bad Wolf

Bela Lugosi as Dracula

Madness

Duchess of Wasps

Check out The SoKomics Expo 2014! The SoKomics Expo is a multi-genre convention highlighting the works of local talents of every variety, including artists, comic creators, authors and musicians. Come join us April 19, 2014 at the Carroll Knicely Center, located in Bowling Green, KY!

So Many Hookah Brands, What and Which One Should I Choose? Josh Smith Co-Owner of Cloud 9 Hookah Shares With Us Which Ones To Try Based On Our Likes!

With so many different shisha options for hookah, there is something that fits everybody’s style and palette, even for the health-conscious!  We’re going to look at some of the better brands on the market and what makes them unique.


If you worry about the health impacts of smoking tobacco, but you enjoy vaping and e-cigs, Shiazo Steam Stones are perfect for you!  Shiazo Steam Stones are made in Germany and are made from porous minerals saturated in a mixture of glycerin and flavorings.  When heated, the stones release a water vapor that is thick and hydrating.  The Shiazo Steam Stones line has flavors like Green Apple, Cola, Dragonfruit, and Lime.  There is minimal risk with enjoying this product, even less than e-cigs because there are no metal components… just all natural ingredients.  They even have an organic line with flavors like Lavender Sage and Eucalyptus Mint that can be refreshing if your throat is bothering you.

If you prefer a lighter smoke or you may be looking to start in the hookah world, Starbuzz and Social Smoke are great for beginners.  Starbuzz is made with washed Virginia tobacco and some of their most popular flavors include Blue Mist (blueberry and mint), Pirate’s Cave (skittles), and Pomberry.  They also have flavors that imitate alcoholic beverages like Strawberry Margarita, Tequila Sunrise, and Strawberry Daquiri!  Social Smoke also offers great flavors like Pink Lemonade, Passionfruit, Mobster (energy drink), and Absolute Zero (creamy mint).

Fumari has filled a unique niche in the market… with long lasting flavor and unique flavor combinations, most brands can’t touch their product line.  This washed tobacco produces a medium-bodied smoke and offers flavors like Blueberry Muffin, Prickly Pear, White Gummy Bear, and Citrus Tea (sweat earl grey).

Tangiers is our most popular brand in both retail and in the lounge.  This brand exceeds all expectations and is in high demand and short supply all across the country.  But make no mistake… Tangiers Tobacco is a hookah connoisseur’s smoke.  We rate this one at expert level for its higher nicotine content, thick clouds, and low heat resistance.  Its low heat resistance means managing the coals to perfection to keep the tobacco smooth and enjoyable.  It is a high maintenance brand that, when done right, beats all other competition.  Tangiers offers over 100 flavors spanning 4 different lines.  Some popular flavors include Cane Mint, Melon Blend, Rangoon Sunrise (fruit roll-ups), Ololiuqui (sassafras/vanilla coke), Orange Soda, and Peach Iced Tea, just to name a few.

  • Noir Line – This is the bread and butter of Tangiers.  Simple unwashed flavored tobacco that delivers a great smoke.
  • Birquq Line – This line uses a sweeter tobacco and requires less heat management.  It’s a great way to work into the Tangiers brand.  You’ll typically find the sweet flavors in this line.
  • F-Line – This line infuses caffeine into the shisha, resulting in a stronger buzz and sure to keep you going for hours!
  • CB Line – The newest line from Tangiers, CB uses burley tobacco with a higher nicotine content than noir.  This line is for smokers who are experienced in Noir and are looking for something a little stronger.

The hookah world has so much to offer with many creative and delicious flavors… whether you are new to hookah or have been smoking for years, there’s always something new to try! Cloud 9 Hookah is a great atmosphere, free wifi, delicious selection of beverages, and the best hookahs in KY/TN make Cloud 9 Hookah a must for anybody needing to escape the mundane and relax in a comfortable environment! All while enjoying the highest quality products brought to you from us with experience and love.

Breaking the record for longest #1 on Billboard‘s Hot Country Songs Chart, “Cruise” has sold nearly 6.8 million downloads in the US alone and is the best-selling digital Country single of all time according to SoundScan.

We are excited to have Paige Logan Photography on board as a partner with Buy Local Bowling Green. We had the fortune of seeing her work first hand when she did a photo shoot for Local Food For Everyone’s “Eat” Magazine. Here is a little about her from Paige herself:

I am a wife to a very loving and patient husband.
I am a mother to three strapping young men and to one lovely little girl.
I am an artist, a designer, a counselor, a friend, and a lousy housekeeper.
I’ve been capturing the world around me through art since I was a little girl.
Creativity is in my blood.
I love the details, the natural, the beautiful, the imperfect, the unexpected, the unnoticed, the real.

I DON’T have it all together.

It is my joy and passion to capture the small moments that our hearts yearn to hold on to. I am the photographer for the person who does not want ordinary.
I am going to give you Art.

My photography mottos:

It doesn’t have to be perfect to be beautiful.
Less is more.

Get a great photo session but, more so fantastic memories through photos!  You can reach Paige Logan Photography at (270) 535-3243 or via their website.  Make sure to fan their facebook page!

Another great artist coming to The SoKomics Expo 2014 is “Art by Anz” Ansley McDaniel. Here is a short bio from her website:

I began my life as an artist at an early age. Throughout my

childhood, I was always considered as being creative. I could

almost always be found doodling, sketching dinosaurs or

other animals.

It wasn’t until my preteens that I was first recognized for

my talents, when I entered a local Lions Club contest and

won second place for an acrylic painting of some fish. For

the next decade, I stepped in and out of the limelight,

occasionally competing in school competitions but keeping

to myself for the most part.

During high school, I became immensely fascinated with

fantasy artwork and started to focus a lot of my talents on that genre. I was told by multiple people that fantasy art would take me nowhere, but at that point in my life, I wasn’t worried about pursuing a life as an artist. I mostly worked with pen and ink, occasionally trying out colored pencils and watercolor. I received my first Wacom tablet at 16, but I initially put it aside. Digital art seemed too daunting.

After high school, I went through a period between 2004-2009 where I hardly created anything. My home life, personal relationship and overall stress kept me from my art. I still consider the few pieces I did create as some of the best examples of my work. I attended online college courses through the AI of Pittsburgh for graphic design, with the intent to continue into game art, but I eventually had to drop out due to financial reasons.

My personal life took a turn for the better in 2009–a complete 180 from what it had been. I slowly got back into my work, experimenting with new mediums and honing my skills with old ones.

I began to work more heavily with digital media around 2010, but still preferred traditional means. I was beginning to get a small audience of people who appreciated my work, and I started doing a few commissions. I stepped out of my comfort zone and worked with portraiture, but never strayed far from the fantasy artwork I loved.

In 2011, after learning confidence from my significant other, I decided to enter my acrylic painting “Transcending the Gods” into a local art contest. I wasn’t expecting to win anything at all. When I learned I had won second place in their amateur field, I was ecstatic.

From that moment, I realized what I wanted to do with my life. Make art. I picked up more commission work and continued to create and experiment. Eventually I reached a point with digital mediums where I was solely creating art through my computer. In late 2011, I decided to make videos of my work. I posted the results on YouTube, and with the collaborative efforts of a fellow artist, I gained a small following.

In 2012, I had another confidence boost, when I won first place in the same contest I had entered in 2011. The winning painting was my watercolor piece “Fading”. An art appreciator bought the piece the same day I received my award for it, and shortly after, I sold a few other originals.

Shortly after my little successes, I decided to broaden my audience with a more professional outlet, and launched my website in August of 2012.

For all the changes and accomplishments I’ve had in my life, I can definitely thank my friends, family and fans for helping me to realize my potential. You all have been the supporting drive I needed to push myself. I would not have taken all these steps to get where I am, and to where I’m going, without you all.

You should keep one first-aid kit in your home and one in each car. Booth Fire And Safety Making Your Home Better Prepared In Your Home With Your Kids.

A well-stocked first-aid kit, kept within easy reach, is a necessity in every home. Having supplies gathered ahead of time will help you handle an emergency at a moment’s notice. You should keep one first-aid kit in your home and one in each car. Also be sure to bring a first-aid kit on family vacations.

You can purchase a first aid kit at Booth Fire and Safety. The following are items a local pediatrician suggested. It’s also a smart move to ask the Booth Fire and Safety Sales team:

  • first-aid manual
  • sterile gauze pads of different sizes
  • adhesive tape
  • adhesive bandages in several sizes
  • elastic bandage
  • a splint
  • antiseptic wipes
  • soap
  • antibiotic ointment
  • antiseptic solution (like hydrogen peroxide)
  • hydrocortisone cream (1%)
  • acetaminophen and ibuprofen
  • extra prescription medications (if the family is going on vacation)
  • tweezers
  • sharp scissors
  • safety pins
  • disposable instant cold packs
  • calamine lotion
  • alcohol wipes or ethyl alcohol
  • thermometer
  • tooth preservation kit
  • plastic non-latex gloves (at least 2 pairs)
  • flashlight and extra batteries
  • a blanket
  • mouthpiece for administering CPR (can be obtained from your local Red Cross)
  • your list of emergency phone numbers
  • blanket (stored nearby)

After you’ve stocked your first-aid kits:

  • Read the entire first-aid manual so you’ll understand how to use the contents of your kits. (If your kids are old enough to understand, review the manuals with them.)
  • Store first-aid kits in places that are out of children’s reach but easily accessible for adults.
  • Check the kits regularly. Replace missing items or medicines that may have expired.
  • Check the flashlight batteries to make sure they work.
  • If you’re flying, be sure to pack the first-aid kit in your checked luggage. Many of the items won’t be permitted in your carry-on bags.

If you have a business or organization that needs help to insure the safety of the people and building itself,  your local choice is Booth Fire and Safety. 538 State Street Bowling Green. Call them at 270.781.3330 or check their website out and fan them on facebook.

Press Release:

Florida Georgia Line will turn up the heat with their headline run, This is How We Roll Summer Series 2014. The new tour will slide into Bowling Green Ballpark on Friday, June 20, and feature special guest, Grammy Award-winning Nelly and opening act Chris Lane. Tickets will go on sale to the general public on Friday, April 11 at 10 a.m. However, fans with ticket packages or club memberships with the Hot Rods receive an exclusive code to purchase tickets before they go on sale.

Anyone who has a Hot Rods full-season, half-season, or any weekender package will receive a code before the tickets go on sale to the general public, as will members of the new Junior Mechanics Club, Mug Club, Baseball Belle’s Club, and Classic Cruisers. Ticket packages and club memberships are on sale now, and can be purchased by logging onto BGHotRods.com, by calling 270-901-2121, or by visiting the Bowling Green Ballpark box office. The general public will be able to purchase the concert tickets on Friday, April 11 at 10 a.m. through ticketfly.com, by calling 1-877-987-6487, or grabbing a limited supply at the Hot Rods ticket office.

Florida Georgia Line has exploded since releasing four consecutive, multi-week top smashes in the US and Canada with the gold-certified “Stay,” the platinum-certified hits “Get Your Shine On” and “Round Here,” and six-time platinum “Cruise,” whose sales are combined with the remix featuring Nelly. Breaking the record for longest #1 on Billboard‘s Hot Country Songs Chart, “Cruise” has sold nearly 6.8 million downloads in the US alone and is the best-selling digital Country single of all time according to SoundScan. Nelly’s remix on the summer anthem helped maximize the reach across multiple genres and platforms. The award-winning duo’s current single “This Is How We Roll” featuring Luke Bryan is quickly climbing the country radio charts and is from the deluxe version of their chart-topping, Platinum-certified debut album HERE’S TO THE GOOD TIMES (Republic Nashville).

FGL has racked up four nominations – Vocal Duo of the Year, Album of the Year (HERE’S TO THE GOOD TIMES), Single of the Year (“Cruise”) and Vocal Event of the Year (“Cruise” Remix featuring Nelly) – for the ACM Awards, airing April 6 at 8:00P Eastern on CBS. Earlier in the weekend (April 4), FGL will join labelmates at the ACM Party for a Cause Festival for “Outnumber Hunger Live!” to raise awareness for the 1 in 6 Americans who struggle with hunger.

With the wind and freezing rain of the past weeks, it’s been hard to be a front door in my neighborhood. My poor front door needs protection, does yours? Whether you need a basic storm door to keep the weather off your entry door or a decorative storm door to accent your home, Capitol Window and Door can find something that will work for you. Storm doors offer beauty and protection – usually at a very low price. Even if you aren’t really that interested in storm doors, think of it as preventative maintenance for your entry door.

Spending a few hundred dollars on a storm door can save you from spending a few thousand dollars on a new entry door.  At Capitol Window and Door, they carry a large variety of storm doors. They also have access to two other suppliers for those who need specific colors or glass styles, National Pride and ProviaTM Door.

Storm doors are much like replacement windows in that you have to actually get your hands on one to understand the difference between a low- and high-quality door. A good storm door will actually be quite heavy because of the thicker aluminum used. To check them out in person, head down to State Street showroom of Capitol Window and Door.

Capitol Window and Door is located at 202 State Street in downtown Bowling Green. Call 842-9421 to get your free in-home estimate today or check them out online at http://www.capitolwindowanddoor.com or check them out on facebook.

We’ve been checking out the new Sleep device from Destiny Dental and it’s worth the appointment! The EMA Oral Appliance from Destiny Dental is amazing relief for people who cannot stand the sleep apnea devices. Do you feel suffocated or uncomfortable with masks? Tire of lugging a big machine and trying to find distilled water every time you travel? Well the EMA may work for you.

Destiny’s EMA device works by opening the bite and gently advancing the mandible with interchangeable elastic straps to increase airway space. This custom made oral appliance is only available through medical and dental professionals.

The EMA is made from a proprietary thermoplastic polymer that delivers superior impact strength to acrylic at a lower cost than polycarbonate. So, if you treat the device right it can last for years and it works like an overnight retainer.

Call Destiny Dental for more questions or to see if you are a good candidate for the EMA device. They are located at 1720 Destiny Lane and can be reached by phone at 842-3554. Don’t forget to fan them on facebook.

Pitching Prospects Headline Hot Rods Opening Night Roster: Snell, Griffin, and Faria Highlight Stellar Pitching Staff

By

By Andrew Kappes, Bowling Green Hot Rods
Monday, March 31st, 2014 8:00 AM CST

A long winter is about to be put to bed, and that became more evident on Sunday when the Bowling Green Hot Rods announced their Opening Night roster in conjunction with their parent club, the Tampa Bay Rays. On the heels of a franchise-record 82 wins in 2013, the Hot Rods are headlined by a solid pitching arsenal that features 2011 first-round pick, Blake Snell. The Hot Rods open the season at Bowling Green Ballpark on Thursday, April 3, and Citizens First Opening Night is set for a 7:05 p.m. first pitch.

Snell will lead a young but talented pitching staff into the 2014 season. The 21-year old left-hander was the 52nd overall pick in 2011, and while with the Hot Rods last season, Snell struck out an astounding 106 batters in just 99 innings of work. He is ranked amongst the top ten prospects in the Rays system across multiple scouting publications.

Aaron Griffin should also feature in the rotation after an outstanding season with Hudson Valley in 2013. He posted a 2.02 earned run average for the Renegades in 17 games, 12 of them starts. Griffin is the younger brother of A.J. Griffin, who won 14 games for the Oakland Athletics last season. Jacob Faria, who won’t turn 21 until July 30, makes the leap to Bowling Green after dominating the Appalachian League with Princeton. Faria recorded a 2.02 earned run average, and struck out 71 batters while walking just nine in 62.1 innings.

A familiar face is expected to handle most of the backstop duties at Bowling Green Ballpark this season. Oscar Hernandez spent the last few days of the 2013 season with the Hot Rods, and he’s expected to be a powerful bat in the lineup this season. He has hit 11 home runs in 95 games since arriving stateside, and Hernandez was the Venezuelan Summer League Most Valuable Player in 2011 after he captured the league’s Triple Crown, batting .402 with 21 home runs and 66 runs driven in.

James Harris, a 2011 first-round pick by the Rays, highlights the Opening Night Hot Rods hitters. The speedy outfielder was picked 60th overall out of Oakland Tech High School, the same school as Hall of Fame member Rickey Henderson. Harris batted .258 in 67 games with Hudson Valley in 2013, and he stole 16 bases. At just 18, infielder Kean Wong will be the youngest Hot Rod to open the season. He was selected in the fourth round by Tampa Bay in last year’s draft, and he led all Rays minor leaguers with a .328 average with the GCL Rays. Wong is the younger brother of current St. Louis Cardinals infielder, Kolten Wong.

Manager Michael Johns is very familiar with the roster, as he managed 13 of the current Hot Rods with Hudson Valley last season. First pitch on Thursday for Citizens First Opening Night is slated for 7:05 p.m. against the South Bend Silver Hawks (Arizona Diamondbacks).

Why Should You Buy Meat From Rian’s Fatted Calf Meat Shoppe? There Reasons Are Many.

Chances are you might not know where the local butcher is in Bowling Green. Lucky for Bowling Green, unlike many towns our size, we have a Fatted Calf. But like Fatted Calf more and more small, local butcher shops begin opening across the US that’s gong to change. And there’s reason enough to seek Fatted Calf out.

Florence Fabricant recently wrote a piece for The New York Times that explored why you should buy meat from your local butcher. In short, her point was that you’ll save money and eat well from cuts of meat you simply can’t find at your mainstream market.

Fabricant notes, “Buying some pork or most other meats is not as simple or as cheap as picking out an apple. Do not tweet your friends for advice; consult the butcher.” You miss out on a lot by strolling into the big box chain grocery store and picking up a styrofoam tray of meat in the sense that your serving sizes are really based on how the meat will be trimmed, and how you plan to cook the meat determines the cut. You need a moment to chat with Rian at Fatted Calf. Then of course, if what you’re looking for isn’t available, the Rian can offer the perfect alternative.

Take your recipe up to Fatted Calf and talk to them about it if you don’t already. From personal experience, you’ll be pleasantly surprised. Not only do they “do meat” all day long but most genuinely love to talk about it. Go check Fatted Calf out at  1505 Us 31w-Bypass. A great place to make your food that much better.

Grinstead’s Flooring & Furnishing Hiring Local and Coming To Your Home to Serve You.

Wednesday, March 26th, 2014 7:00 AM CST

The one thing we noticed when we started this project of promoting local businesses was the amount of local businesses hire local people to their small business. One of our partners is Grinstead’s flooring a furnishing and they hire exclusively local workers to our region. With 2 sales representatives (plus Owner, Gary Grinstead) who are from Warren County and at any time three crews of two that do their installs the staff is comprised of neighbors who want to help make Bowling Green beautiful, one home at a time. So when you shop at Grinstead’s you know that most of the dollars you spend not only go back in local taxes but, that they are going to pay for the hard work of local workers and salespeople.

With this local staff at Grinstead’s you receive the customer service that is all but a memory in many of the big out of town box stores. You get people who make it a point to know your needs and wants and to try to achieve those needs an wants. It’s not rare to see a Grinstead’s sales representative arriving to a home to measure the job and to bring samples to their home so they can see what the flooring will look like in that person’s home.

Grinstead’s sales reps help you guide through this very important process because they know how important it is to get the job done right the first time. Same goes for the install crew. Many of these crews have been working with Gary at Grinstead’s for years. Gary has made it his mission to be well versed in the latest in the industry and to have a crew that is well prepared to take you from step one to finish of the project.

Please be sure to check out Grinstead’s Flooring and Furnishings online or at their store located at 1353 Old Louisville Road. If you’d like to Gary or one of the helpful staff at Grinstead’s they can be reached in Bowling Green at 270.843.1072.

Get To Know Andrew Britton Simkins of Cloud 9 Hookah!

By Andrew Simkins, hookahclouds.com
Tuesday, March 25th, 2014 2:00 PM CST

Get to know our poker faced, pun slinging, swashbuckling General Manager…Andrew Britton Simkins.

Andrew was born in Eskanaba, Michigan during the tail end of the most confusing decade in history…the 1980’s. After moving back to Kentucky, he never stayed in any place for too long but always considered Somerset, KY his home. Always being the smallest kid in school was the norm for him. He was always a year younger than all his classmates (due to skipping a grade) and was the tiny wristed target of many a taunting…until he got big. Very big. He was an avid reader, active in all of his schools marching and concert bands, and played way too many video games. Upon graduating high school in 2006, Andrew decided he wanted to be a teacher. He attended a community college in Somerset, KY and then transferred to WKU, packed up a U-Haul with all of his belongings and started a life in Bowling Green. A lot of things changed for Andrew in that year. While Andrew respected the choice of higher education, he decided it wasn’t for him at this time. After losing mostly everything, and learning a lot in the previous year, Andrew decided that there was no room for anything in life that didn’t make him happy. That’s where Cloud 9 hookah came in. Being a regular customer for months, Andrew then got the dream offer to join the crew at Cloud 9, and hasn’t looked back. Andrew found more than a job here at Cloud 9, he found a place where he felt at home. Andrew loves smoking Tangiers shisha, and Cane Mint and Absynthe are his favorite flavors. He has encyclopedic knowledge of The Lord of the Rings, and reads the trilogy once a year every year. He loves good food, good friends, and good beer. His favorite bands include Radiohead, Beck, and The Dear Hunter but some jazz always hits the spot. Andrew has a very intimate relationship with Netflix and loves a good TV show and movie (Game of Thrones and House of Cards being current favorites). He has made great friends, found a business he is passionate about, and a town that is like no other here in Bowling Green. “See you in the lounge!”

Cloud 9 hookah is a great atmosphere, free wifi, delicious selection of beverages, and the best hookahs in KY/TN make Cloud 9 Hookah a must for anybody needing to escape the mundane and relax in a comfortable environment! All while enjoying the highest quality products brought to you from us with experience and love.

All diabetic patients should keep up to date on their healthcare visits to assess diabetic retinopathy and neuropathy. At home, you can check your feet daily for cuts, sores, blisters, redness, or other problems. Report any problems to your primary physician. Also, have your eyes checked every year to assess any changes in vision that may occur. It is also important for you to monitor your blood glucose to determine how your diabetes managment plan is working. You should also record these numbers in a diary and take them to your next physician appointment to allow for the best possible care.

There is so much to learn about them and we’ll cover them more later. If you want to learn more now go to their facebook page. Also fan them here.

So Many Are Planning A Spring Wedding. Better To Plan One with White Teeth For You And Your Wedding Party, Made Possible by Destiny Dental in Bowling Green.

Award season just passed and Spring Weddings are almost here. Those celebrities prepare as your bridal party should. You’re planning for the biggest day of your life, your wedding. Have you planned like the celebrities? You’ve got to love to see a beautiful smile looking back at you on that special day. Every celebrity knows during the red carpet premieres that a bright smile makes a big difference. Many of those celebrities featured used the ‘Zoom Whitening Technique.’ So, we went to Destiny Dental to find out about the technique since so many of you want that “Award Show Smile” on your wedding day or upcoming big event.

What is it?

A 45-minute teeth-whitening treatment administered by Destiny Dental. The treatment uses a light-activated bleach which can whiten teeth by up to eight shades. Moulds are also made for home whitening allowing you to top up the gleam factor in the comfort of your own home!

What’s the process?

Rubber moulds are made of your dental profile before a consultation takes place. After you’ve decided on which shade works best with the aid of some nifty color matching, you and your soon-to-be-new head turning smile are placed in a chair before lasers get to work on your pearly whites.

As the bleach in the whitening gel can burn gums and damage the skin inside the mouth, a protective gel is administered to prevent burning around the teeth before the whitening gel is painted onto the tooth enamel. New whitening gel is applied every 15 minutes helping to break up stains and whiten teeth.

Sounds a bit surgical?

The teeth-whitening gel is packed with Hydrogen Peroxide which is triggered into activity using a special light. The bleach and light used as a combination speeds up the breakdown of stains and discolouration on the tooth enamel. As the whole thing is administered by a dental surgeon the risks are minimised.

What are the benefits?

A brighter, whiter smile. As teeth can be lightened by up to eight shades in just 45 minutes, the results do have something of a wow factor about them.

How long does it take?

Including an inspection and consultation my Zoom teeth whitening takes about an hour.

Call Destiny Dental for more questions or to see if you are a good candidate for Zoom Teeth Whitening. They are located at 1720 Destiny Lane and can be reached by phone at 842-3554. Don’t forget to fan them on facebook.

What is Hot Yoga? From Hot Yoga Bowling Green! Get To Know Now and Start Working For A Better You Today!

Why is the room heated?

By Admin, BuyLocalBG.com, BuyLocalBg@gmail.com/
Monday, March 17th, 2014 7:00 AM CST

Why is the room heated? The room is heated to warm your muscles, to prevent injuries and to allow for a deeper release in your body. Sweating also helps to flush the toxins and impurities from your body.

Reasons for heating the room:

  1. Enhances blood circulation and vasolidilations of the capillaries weaving around your muscles.
  2. The more blood delivered to the body, will in turn, help increase the absorption of nutrients and the elimination of toxins.
  3. The warmed muscles combined with the movement of yoga will more effectively stimulate the lymphatic systems, the toxin dump system of the body and increases lymphatic drainage.
  4. When blood passes through warm muscles, it allows oxygen in the blood to release easier from the hemoglobin. Remember oxygen is one of the primary antioxidants of the body. The increase in oxygen purifies the body.
  5. Warm muscles = elastic muscles. Elastic muscles stretch in a fluid like way allowing for a greater range of motion during stretching and yoga. Cold muscles do not absorb shock or impact as well. The more elastic your muscles are the less susceptible you are to injury.

But, I am not flexible …

This is the most common misconception that prevents people from experiencing yoga. It is not about how flexible you are. It is about stretching your body and quieting your mind, and healing the soul. So, do not worry about being flexible. The more inflexible you are the more you need yoga. You become flexible by doing yoga.

Can I do Hot Yoga? 

Almost anyone of any age can do this type of yoga. All students work at their own level and pace. Our aim is to help you strengthen and improve your body’s natural range of motion and restore flow throughout all your bodily systems. Students may range from people with a chronic illness to athletes of every shape and size. As always, we recommend checking with your healthcare professional before starting any physically engaging activity such as Hot Yoga.

Is it a cardiovascular workout & can I lose weight? 

You will find Hot Yoga challenging, no matter your level of fitness. Each posture combines flexibility, strength, and balance to work your whole body. A 90-minute class can burn approximately 500-800 calories. With patience, persistence and dedication, you can lose inches and develop muscle tone and strength that might never come from other forms of exercise.

What are the benefits hot yoga?

Relieves stress     Strengthens the heart     Relieves tension     Improves blood circulation     Increases flexibility     Promotes relaxation     Expands lung capacity     Eliminates toxins     Lose inches     Develops muscle tone    Beautifully sculpts the body

  • It is the perfect lifetime fitness program for a busy lifestyle.
  • It assists in the union of body, mind and spirit.
  • It will stretch your body from the bone to the skin and from the head to your toes.
  • It helps you quiet the mind and energize the body.
  • It reaches deep into the tissue.
  • It helps to relieve tension and stress.
  • It revitalizes and assists in over coming many physical and emotional problems.
  • It is the ONLY form of exercise which allows every muscle, every system, and every cell of the body to be affected from every possible angle.
  • It must be experienced to be fully appreciated.

PRESS RELEASE:

With Kentucky residents digging out of this winter’s latest snow storm, the Bowling Green Hot Rods (Class-A/Tampa Bay Rays) are pleased to announce a sign of warmer weather that lies on the horizon. Beginning Friday, March 14 at 6 a.m., single-game tickets for all 70 home games will be available for purchase at the Bowling Green Ballpark box office, including Citizens First Opening Night, which is fast approaching on April 3. That will feature a double fireworks show and a t-shirt giveaway. The box office will remain open until 8 p.m.

 

“I think everybody is tired of this terrible winter, so what better way to get our minds off of it than to think baseball,” said Hot Rods season ticket and box office manager, Matt Ingram. “Beginning this year, we are creating a party-like atmosphere as we begin selling single-game tickets. Come have breakfast or dinner with us, and wish winter away by securing your seat to any of the exciting games this season.”

 

Fans are encouraged to stop-by on their way to work and get here early, because at 6 a.m. on Friday, March 14, Hot Rods front office staff will be serving donuts and coffee for those early-birds who visit the box office, while supplies last. All windows will be open, so a speedy checkout can be made if fans are in a pinch to get to work.

 

If you’re a bit late getting out of bed, or unable to make it out to the box office in the morning, the windows will remain open until 8 p.m. Also, pizza will be served by Hot Rods staff beginning at 5:30 p.m., so while supplies last, fans will be able to grab dinner while insuring their admission to one of the 70 great games that will be at Bowling Green Ballpark this summer. All 70 home games will be on sale, including Citizen’s First Opening Night, and July 4, which are both double-firework shows that will bring the boom to downtown Bowling Green.

 

While all 70 games will be available on Friday, March 14, the best way to save money, secure seats for this summer, and to get single-game tickets in advance is to own a ticket package. Packages offer savings of up to 65 percent, and can guarantee a great seat for a set amount of games, from the Junior Weekender which features 10 games, all the way up to the full-season package that covers all home games. Club members, like the Jr. Mechanics and Mug Club, are able to purchase tickets in advance too. Packages are available now, and can be obtained by calling the Hot Rods at 270-901-2121, or logging on to BGHotRods.com.

Fans can get a sneak peak of the seats that they would like by coming out to Bowling Green Ballpark for the Spring Rev-Up on Saturday, March 8, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Citizens First Opening Night continues to loom larger on the horizon, and it’s set for Thursday, April 3 at 7:05 p.m.

Press Release:

On the heels of announcing 70 can’t miss baseball games at Bowling Green Ballpark this summer, the Bowling Green Hot Rods (Class-A/Tampa Bay Rays) announced on Friday that Florida Georgia Line will be performing at the ballpark on Friday, June 20. The superstar country duo is also bringing Chris Lane and rap artist Nelly, who collaborated with them on the remix of their top hit, “Cruise.”

 

“Every day, Bowling Green Ballpark continues to become the place to be in south-central Kentucky this summer,” said Hot Rods general manager and chief operating officer, Adam Nuse. “Stuart and Jerry Katzoff challenged us to bring more than just baseball to the ballpark, and this concert is the latest endeavor to achieve that.”

 

The concert will take place at Bowling Green Ballpark on Friday, June 20. Gates will open to the public at 5:30 p.m., and the best way for Hot Rods fans to secure their seat is to own a season ticket, mini-plan, or a membership in one of the new four clubs. All ticket plan holders and club members will receive a promotional code to purchase concert tickets before they go on sale to the general public.

 

FGL has exploded since releasing four consecutive, multi-week top hits with the gold-certified “Stay,” the platinum-certified hits “Get Your Shine On” and “Round Here,” and six-time platinum “Cruise,” whose sales are combined with the remix featuring Nelly. Breaking the record for longest top spot on Billboard’s Hot Country Songs Chart, “Cruise” has sold nearly 6.8 million downloads in the United States alone, and is the best-selling digital Country single of all time according to SoundScan. Nelly’s remix on the summer anthem helped maximize the reach across multiple genres and platforms. The award-winning duo’s current single, “This Is How We Roll” featuring Luke Bryan is quickly climbing the country charts.

 

FGL has racked up four nominations – Vocal Duo of the Year, Album of the Year, Single of the Year (“Cruise”), and Vocal Event of the Year (“Cruise” Remix featuring Nelly) – for the American Country Music Awards, airing April 6 at 8:00 p.m. Eastern on CBS. Earlier in the weekend (April 4), FGL will join label mates at the ACM Party for a Cause Festival for “Outnumber Hunger Live!” to raise awareness for the one in six Americans who struggle with hunger.

 

The fun summer at Bowling Green Ballpark is on the horizon, as Citizens First Opening Night is set for Thursday, April 3 at 7:05 p.m. The Hot Rods will open their 2014 season against the South Bend Silver Hawks (Arizona Diamondbacks) with a four-game series at the ballpark. Season ticket packages and single-game tickets are on sale now, and they can be obtained by calling 270-901-2121, visiting BGHotRods.com, or by stopping at the box office.

The Resurrection Shop Features (Also The Local Provider) The Very Popular Maison Blanche Paint Co. This Furniture Paint formula is unlike any you’ve seen before. It was designed with you, the creative and conscious consumer, in mind.

From Maison Blanche:

We wanted to make it both excellent quality and affordable. Maison Blanche Furniture Paint dries to a soft, velvety finish and is extremely low in organic volatile compounds, making it a green and eco-friendly alternative to traditional oil-based paints so often used on furniture. With little to no odor, we can create your masterpiece just about anywhere without fear of reprisal from your delicate senses.

Our Furniture Paint has been carefully refined and perfect to the last drop. Silky and smooth, the paint can be applied using a variety of techniques in addition to ‘straight from the can’. It’s been specially formulated for painting furniture, cabinetry, and trim. It can also be used to top off any existing furniture finish, without the need for stripping, sanding, or priming. It is a truely “no prep” furniture paint. What could be simpler?

For a more distressed look, apply waxes to create that classic, old world patina. Add a bit of water and try it as a color wash. If you prefer your paint a bit thicker, simply leave the lid off for awhile. The paint will thicken without forming a skin on top.

This specially formulated Vintage paint line is available in 36 delicious colors. You’re sure to find the perfect shade for your project. Use one color or layer several. The sky’s the limit.

Check out their facebook page or their website for the happenings around the shop. They also have excellent opportunities with classes (one every first Saturday of the month). Swing by their 1216 Nutwood location or call (270) 791-2652.

Hot Rods Single-Game Tickets Go on Sale to the Public on Friday, March 14!

PRESS RELEASE:

With Kentucky residents digging out of this winter’s latest snow storm, the Bowling Green Hot Rods (Class-A/Tampa Bay Rays) are pleased to announce a sign of warmer weather that lies on the horizon. Beginning Friday, March 14 at 6 a.m., single-game tickets for all 70 home games will be available for purchase at the Bowling Green Ballpark box office, including Citizens First Opening Night, which is fast approaching on April 3. That will feature a double fireworks show and a t-shirt giveaway. The box office will remain open until 8 p.m.

 

“I think everybody is tired of this terrible winter, so what better way to get our minds off of it than to think baseball,” said Hot Rods season ticket and box office manager, Matt Ingram. “Beginning this year, we are creating a party-like atmosphere as we begin selling single-game tickets. Come have breakfast or dinner with us, and wish winter away by securing your seat to any of the exciting games this season.”

 

Fans are encouraged to stop-by on their way to work and get here early, because at 6 a.m. on Friday, March 14, Hot Rods front office staff will be serving donuts and coffee for those early-birds who visit the box office, while supplies last. All windows will be open, so a speedy checkout can be made if fans are in a pinch to get to work.

 

If you’re a bit late getting out of bed, or unable to make it out to the box office in the morning, the windows will remain open until 8 p.m. Also, pizza will be served by Hot Rods staff beginning at 5:30 p.m., so while supplies last, fans will be able to grab dinner while insuring their admission to one of the 70 great games that will be at Bowling Green Ballpark this summer. All 70 home games will be on sale, including Citizen’s First Opening Night, and July 4, which are both double-firework shows that will bring the boom to downtown Bowling Green.

 

While all 70 games will be available on Friday, March 14, the best way to save money, secure seats for this summer, and to get single-game tickets in advance is to own a ticket package. Packages offer savings of up to 65 percent, and can guarantee a great seat for a set amount of games, from the Junior Weekender which features 10 games, all the way up to the full-season package that covers all home games. Club members, like the Jr. Mechanics and Mug Club, are able to purchase tickets in advance too. Packages are available now, and can be obtained by calling the Hot Rods at 270-901-2121, or logging on to BGHotRods.com.

Fans can get a sneak peak of the seats that they would like by coming out to Bowling Green Ballpark for the Spring Rev-Up on Saturday, March 8, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Citizens First Opening Night continues to loom larger on the horizon, and it’s set for Thursday, April 3 at 7:05 p.m.

We’ve been checking out the new Sleep device from Destiny Dental and it’s worth the appointment! The EMA Oral Appliance from Destiny Dental is amazing relief for people who cannot stand the sleep apnea devices. Do you feel suffocated or uncomfortable with masks? Tire of lugging a big machine and trying to find distilled water every time you travel? Well the EMA may work for you.

Destiny’s EMA device works by opening the bite and gently advancing the mandible with interchangeable elastic straps to increase airway space. This custom made oral appliance is only available through medical and dental professionals.

The EMA is made from a proprietary thermoplastic polymer that delivers superior impact strength to acrylic at a lower cost than polycarbonate. So, if you treat the device right it can last for years and it works like an overnight retainer.

Call Destiny Dental for more questions or to see if you are a good candidate for the EMA device. They are located at 1720 Destiny Lane and can be reached by phone at 842-3554. Don’t forget to fan them on facebook.

Thursday, March 6th, 2014 1:00 PM CST

We love what we do, and we love that so many of you love what we do. To help all of our awesome customers get to know us a little better, we decided every couple of days we will post a little bio about one of us! Let us kick things off with our resident poet, musician, and Assistant Manager…Derek!

Derek was born in Cincinnati, Ohio. He lived in New Carlisle, Ohio for about 4 years of his life. He then moved with his parents to a small town called Owenton, Kentucky. There he went to a high school whose graduating class of 2010 was a whopping 95 students. He played football from fourth grade until his senior year in high school and played as the center on the offensive line for that same duration.

Derek is a senior at Western Kentucky University and is studying English for Secondary Teachers, and for all you who are wondering what that is – he simply wants to be a high school English teacher. Derek is also a musician and has played the bass guitar for seven years. He had a band based out of Bowling Green, Kentucky for quite some time called, “The Royal Knockout.” After that band dispersed he has recently formed a new project called, “Lady Grace.”

He has a twin brother who is also playing drums for his current band. Derek is an enthusiast of literature, art, theatre, and poetry. His favorite author is Jane Austen. He aspires to one day be a professor and teach English Literature at a university somewhere. He enjoys local coffee shops and frequents Spencer’s coffee on Bowling Green’s square often. He likes his coffee black, and enjoys hot tea as well. Also, he is a frequent patron of the local barbershop, “Classic Cuts,” which is located off the Bowling Green downtown square – if anyone was interested. He is the owner of a Regal Hookah and his favorite brand of shisha is Tangiers. As for Derek’s favorite flavor he is partial to Tangiers Orange Soda, but is excited to try Tangiers Pumpkin due to his obsession with Pumpkin flavored anything.
Cloud 9 hookah is a great atmosphere, free wifi, delicious selection of beverages, and the best hookahs in KY/TN make Cloud 9 Hookah a must for anybody needing to escape the mundane and relax in a comfortable environment! All while enjoying the highest quality products brought to you from us with experience and love. To keep up with their latest events and products hitting their shelves fan them on facebook and follow them on instagram!

I Know It Hasn’t Seemed Like It But, Spring Is Around The Corner. That Means Spring Sports Are Just Around The Corner! Does Your Kid’s Sports Team Have a Proper First Aid Kit? Maybe You Need to Visit Doug Gorman and The Staff At Booth Fire and Safety!

No youth sports team or competition should be without a first aid kit designed to treat the most common injuries and illnesses that might be encountered. Doug Gorman and the staff at Booth Fire and Safety have been active in Bowling Green’s youth sports having kids participate and coaching teams. Booth Fire and Safety can help you make sure your child or teenagers team is kept safe with a first aid kit or other products.

  • Match the contents to the sport: The type of first aid that may be required varies by sport. Because bruises, abrasions, and sprained ankles are more common in baseball, a baseball team’s first aid kit, for instance, needs to be stocked with cold packs, elastic bandages, and Band-Aids, while a track team’s kit needs to have plenty of supplies to treat blisters, abrasions, pulled muscles, and sprains. If your team is going to be in the sun, carry sunscreen; the cross-country coach needs to carry an allergy kit to manage bee stings.
  • Stock a realistic quantity: Be prepared to treat more than one child at an event. For younger children, remember to stock pediatric doses (in liquid form, if necessary).
  • Ensure ready access: First aid supplies should be placed where they are readily accessible, and marked clearly to allow rapid identification. Use Ziploc-type bags within the kit for extra materials and to sort your supplies. For instance, it is helpful to partition supplies into modules “for wound care,” “for an allergic reaction,” and so forth.
  • Protect against damage: Carry supplies in a watertight container designed to withstand years of rough handling and extremes in temperature, such as a plastic (Pelican case or Otter Box) or metal container equipped with a rubber O-ring gasket for a tight, waterproof seal.

Stone is the featured Brewery tonight for Lost River Pizza Co. Pint Night! They’ll have their Stone IPA and their Stochasticity Project Grapefruit Slam IPA which score a 92 on beeradvocate.com. They also have some great glassware from Stone too!
From Stone: “By definition, an India Pale Ale is hoppier and higher in alcohol than its little brother, pale ale-and we deliver in spades. Now one of the most well respected and best-selling IPAs in the country, this golden beauty explodes with citrusy flavor and hop aromas, all perfectly balanced by a subtle malt character. This crisp, extra hoppy brew is hugely refreshing on a hot day, but will always deliver no matter when you choose to drink it.”
From the Brewery: “India pale ales harness the inherent flavor characteristics of hops to bring forward familiar flavors of pine, resin, spice, and citrus. In some cases, those botanicals are so potent, they exactly mirror specific edibles. Such is the case with Centennial hops, which hail from the Great Northwest and come across on the palate like a mouthful of citrus fruit. That sensation is amplified with this, the first beer introduced via the Stochasticity Project–a double IPA brewed with Centennial, Chinook and Magnum hops as well as an immense dosing of fresh grapefruit peel. The result is over-the-top bittersweet grapefruit intensity that is at once refreshing and bracing in its citrusy bitterness.”

“Inviting Mama’s to the Table,”Guest Blog From Need More Acres CSA Farm.

There are so many memories I carry with me from our trip to Honduras last year, but one has stayed with me day after day.  In the airport-waiting for our flight- we were desperately trying to feed ourselves a combination of McDonalds and local airport fare.  While I wrangled our four kids in a very crowded seating area there was a woman behind me engaged in what appeared to be deep, meaningful conversation with a large group of men and women.  The conversation was passionate, loud and I was intrigued.  The woman was at the table, contributing and breastfeeding her baby.  And I’m not talking breastfeeding with a cover over the babies head.  The baby appeared to be about 9 months old and would latch, unlatch, play with things on the table and then go back to finishing her lunch-the entire time the mothers breast was exposed.  No one was offended, awkwardly looking away or concerned.  It was normal.

After struggling through becoming a mama for the first time-and then again and again-I realized that there are a lot of obstacles out there for moms, babies and families.  But one of the biggest challenges may just be that we stopped inviting mama’s to the table and to the meaningful conversations that impact them the most.

Do women breastfeeding in public offend us because there is a breast involved?  Or could it be that at some point in history we decided that women who are breastfeeding their children should just stay home?  Did the fear of being left out of the conversation and unable to contribute to society allow formula companies the upper hand in marketing themselves to our insecurities, consumer driven, overworked selves?  I think it’s time that we think this through and take advantage of what empowered mama’s have to offer our communities.  Because let me tell you-there’s nothing like a passionate and empowered mama to get things done.

 Inviting Mama’s to the Table  03/02/2014  1 Comment   There are so many memories I carry with me from our trip to Honduras last year, but one has stayed with me day after day.  In the airport-waiting for our flight- we were desperately trying to feed ourselves a combination of McDonalds and local airport fare.  While I wrangled our four kids in a very crowded seating area there was a woman behind me engaged in what appeared to be deep, meaningful conversation with a large group of men and women.  The conversation was passionate, loud and I was intrigued.  The woman was at the table, contributing and breastfeeding her baby.  And I’m not talking breastfeeding with a cover over the babies head.  The baby appeared to be about 9 months old and would latch, unlatch, play with things on the table and then go back to finishing her lunch-the entire time the mothers breast was exposed.  No one was offended, awkwardly looking away or concerned.  It was normal.  After struggling through becoming a mama for the first time-and then again and again-I realized that there are a lot of obstacles out there for moms, babies and families.  But one of the biggest challenges may just be that we stopped inviting mama’s to the table and to the meaningful conversations that impact them the most. Picture      Picture Picture Do women breastfeeding in public offend us because there is a breast involved?  Or could it be that at some point in history we decided that women who are breastfeeding their children should just stay home?  Did the fear of being left out of the conversation and unable to contribute to society allow formula companies the upper hand in marketing themselves to our insecurities, consumer driven, overworked selves?  I think it’s time that we think this through and take advantage of what empowered mama’s have to offer our communities.  Because let me tell you-there’s nothing like a passionate and empowered mama to get things done.  Our bodies were beautifully designed to be nourished by breastmilk.  It is full of nutrients and antibodies that newborns need.  It’s the perfect combination of fat, sugar, water, and protein.  The cells, hormones and antibodies help babies grow up healthy and fight disease.  It’s good for mama’s too-lowering the instances of type 2 diabetes, breast cancer, ovarian cancer and postpartum depression.  Research shows that if 90% of families breastfed exclusively for 6 months, nearly 1,000 deaths among infants could be prevented and the United States would save $13 billion dollars a year on medical costs.  That’s my public service announcement in order to convince you-in case you need convincing.

After my fourth baby was born I was determined (and encouraged) to have my voice heard.  So I started showing up-with my baby- and when she was hungry, I fed her.  And you know what I found out?  People cared about what I had to say.  Especially those who work in public health.  One of the first things that the surgeon general  did in her new role was to release a call to action to support breastfeeding.  Laws have been put into place that allow women the right to pump at work and breastfeed in public.  Doesn’t it seem odd that we had to create laws to protect women and babies in public?  Think about this for a moment.

A lot of work has been done locally to raise awareness of the importance of breastfeeding.  My friend Dana is the Breastfeeding Coordinator for our region and has done some awesome work building partnerships that have strengthened the success of women breastfeeding.  The BabyNet KY group as well as the Big Latch On are both tools for offering connection, support and mentoring.  One of the biggest barriers that women face to successful breastfeeding is the fear of public nursing.  It starts at the hospital when family comes to visit and continues as they fear their first public appearances.  There’s nothing like sweating bullets in a public setting hoping that you can pull off discreet nursing.  Being a mama is hard enough without worrying about something as basic as feeding our children offending those around us.

photo by Miranda Pederson, BG Daily News

My experience in Honduras combined with the work being done locally has got me thinking a lot about how far we’ve come from what was originally intended.   Most importantly, I think it’s time to invite breastfeeding mama’s back to the table and into everyday public life.  Welcomed in our restaurants, at the board meeting, churches, public spaces.  Engaged in conversations about society, health, community, rights and our future.

My friend Dana and I are thrilled to be working with Local Food For Everyone, Buy Local Bowling Green, Kentucky Public Health, and local, independently owned businesses to help normalize breastfeeding. We put up our first international breastfeeding logo at Community Farmers Market Bowling Green and will continue with additional breast feeding friendly environments over the next couple months.  Together, we can make breastfeeding normal again.

It’s Tuesday Which Means Market Day! Community Farmer’s Market’s Vendors of the Week: MARKET FINE ARTS & CRAFTS

By

By Admin, BuyLocalBG.com, BuyLocalBg@gmail.com/
Tuesday, March 4th, 2014 12:00 PM CST

The Origin:

Shannon Dyche and Lisa Yeager both have a passion for art, and more specifically making art approachable. This passion started when they were young and carried them both through fine art degree programs at Western. Shannon’s main trade is painting and Lisa’s is sculpting. Both, however, can create just about anything out of nearly any media.
They met each other a while back through a local group called the “Art Social Group of BG,” a group devoted to creating a community of artists that continue to foster their passion through art by creating/critiquing/

socializing. Shannon and Lisa hit it off and soon after meeting started creating together. Then soon after that, they launched Market Fine Arts and Crafts. Lisa and Shannon wanted to work against the statistic that says 80% of art students no longer create after school. Eighty percent! That’s a lot, and they wanted to be no where apart of that number. So they’ve operated their business for the past 2 years selling at the Community Farmer’s Market both indoors and out, and will continue to during the winter, indoor market.

Items for Sale:

Shannon and Lisa have many unique items for sale. Shannon creates monster stuffies, cute, hand-sewn stuffed animals in colorful fabrics. Lisa makes hand sculpted magnets. Both contribute to the creation of the jewelry, teacup bird feeders, wind chimes, and handmade bags you might see at their both. Lisa also makes lovely photo frames out of upcycled old home windows. Beautiful stuff! Both Lisa and Shannon do custom orders, as well.

What They Want You To Know:

Currently, some of their artwork is on display in the Fine Art Center on Western Kentucky University’s campus as a showcase that was set up to highlight artwork made by the local art group of which they are apart. Both Shannon and Lisa have artwork on display there.
They will continue to be set up at the indoor market for the remainder of this winter season, or more specifically, the end of March. After that, they will take a break during the summer season and resume setting up in the winter months at the end of this year. They are set up both on Tuesdays and Saturdays, so get out there and see what lovely creations they’ve made!

 Contact Info:

You can contact both Lisa and Shannon for custom orders through their business facebook page:

Having a kid in our backseat at most times of the day we had to find someone we could trust with maintaining our vehicles and keeping us safe. That’s why we love the crew over at S&R Tire Exchange. They are on top of their game and we’ve seen them refuse to sell tires to people that are not safe for their vehicle (while many places will sell you the wrong tires for your vehicles specs). Now, you can also save with S&R Tire Center for the month of March:

Pirelli Tires $60 prepaid card

So, feel safe knowing S&R Tire is working hard with other local tire dealers to get you the best price possible and keeping that service you’ve come to love. Just call S&R Tire, located at 1101 Lovers Lane, 270.781.8828

Community Farmer’s Market’s Vendors of the Week: MARKET FINE ARTS & CRAFTS

By

By Admin, BuyLocalBG.com, BuyLocalBg@gmail.com/
Saturday, March 1st, 2014 7:00 AM CST

The Origin:

Shannon Dyche and Lisa Yeager both have a passion for art, and more specifically making art approachable. This passion started when they were young and carried them both through fine art degree programs at Western. Shannon’s main trade is painting and Lisa’s is sculpting. Both, however, can create just about anything out of nearly any media.
They met each other a while back through a local group called the “Art Social Group of BG,” a group devoted to creating a community of artists that continue to foster their passion through art by creating/critiquing/

socializing. Shannon and Lisa hit it off and soon after meeting started creating together. Then soon after that, they launched Market Fine Arts and Crafts. Lisa and Shannon wanted to work against the statistic that says 80% of art students no longer create after school. Eighty percent! That’s a lot, and they wanted to be no where apart of that number. So they’ve operated their business for the past 2 years selling at the Community Farmer’s Market both indoors and out, and will continue to during the winter, indoor market.

Items for Sale:

Shannon and Lisa have many unique items for sale. Shannon creates monster stuffies, cute, hand-sewn stuffed animals in colorful fabrics. Lisa makes hand sculpted magnets. Both contribute to the creation of the jewelry, teacup bird feeders, wind chimes, and handmade bags you might see at their both. Lisa also makes lovely photo frames out of upcycled old home windows. Beautiful stuff! Both Lisa and Shannon do custom orders, as well.

What They Want You To Know:

Currently, some of their artwork is on display in the Fine Art Center on Western Kentucky University’s campus as a showcase that was set up to highlight artwork made by the local art group of which they are apart. Both Shannon and Lisa have artwork on display there.
They will continue to be set up at the indoor market for the remainder of this winter season, or more specifically, the end of March. After that, they will take a break during the summer season and resume setting up in the winter months at the end of this year. They are set up both on Tuesdays and Saturdays, so get out there and see what lovely creations they’ve made!

 Contact Info:

You can contact both Lisa and Shannon for custom orders through their business facebook page:

Guest Blog from Cloud 9 Hookah: “The Truth Behind the Health of Hookah!”

By
Admin
-
0

By Joshua Smith, hookahclouds.com
Thursday, February 27th, 2014 11:00 AM CST

Just google “hookah” and you will find quite a few journal articles on the health impacts of hookah.  Many of these maintain that hookah is worse for you than cigarettes.  On the other hand, there are some people that maintain that hookah is virtually harmless.  So who is telling the truth?  Between the strong advocates of hookah and the anti-tobacco lobbyists, the truth is somewhere in the middle but both sides are neglecting serious facts.

At Cloud 9 Hookah, we aren’t scientists or doctors, but what we are is experienced in over 7 years of hookah smoking and knowledge.  I dare say anyone has more knowledge on the logistics and inner workings of the hookah and how it impacts one’s health.  We are going to look at the various claims about hookah, and try to debunk the junk.

First, hookah is not the safest practice in the world.  Enjoying tobacco in any form carries certain risks that can’t be overlooked.  But let’s take a look at some of the statements floating out there:

  • MYTH #1:  “Hookah smoke is filtered through water, therefore it removes the properties in the smoke, making it clean.”  This simply is not true.  The purpose of the water is to cool the smoke so that the draw is smoother.  After every hookah ordered in the lounge, we empty the water and clean out the base.  But for my own personal enjoyment, I could smoke 3 bowls with the same water in the base, and there would be no discoloration.  The water might pick up some of the past flavors, making it difficult to enjoy new flavors, so this is largely why we change out the water each time.
  • MYTH #2:  “Hookah is highly addictive.”  Our most regular customers might come in 3-4 times a week and enjoy one hookah session each time.  I smoke more regularly than anybody… currently I smoke about 2-3 bowls a night, 3-4 nights a week.  Before we hired a staff and were in the lounge more frequently, I would smoke 3 bowls a night on top of starting all the hookahs for the lounge.  I smoke hookah frequently because it is readily available and because I enjoy the practice.  You could easily label me as a heavy hookah smoker.  But when we are talking about addiction with tobacco, we are most likely talking about physical dependence on nicotine.  Washed shisha contains .05% nicotine, unwashed shisha .5% nicotine, and cigarettes vary with an average of about 2.5% nicotine.  Hookah tobacco has 2-20% of the nicotine that cigarettes have.  Opponents of hookah smoking would maintain that with hookah you are inhaling much more smoke than you would with a cigarette, which is true.  But not all smoke is created equal.  This article talks about the symptoms of the physical effects of nicotine withdrawal.  As much as I smoke hookah, I have most recently spent 2 weeks in Atlanta and 1 week in New York, travelling with my wife for her work.  I had absolutely no craving to seek out the nearest hookah lounge to “get a fix”, nor did I care to take my hookah with me.  It’s a bit of a hassle to set up on the go.  I don’t smoke any other form of tobacco except cigars on occasion and I took one with me to Atlanta, but I ended up giving it to our valet guy because I noticed he enjoys cigars.  If I was experiencing nicotine withdrawal, I would be irritable and my wife would be sure to point it out to me… I was just the regular kind of irritable.  Coming back in to town, I didn’t fix myself a hookah until 2 days later.  When I lived in Jordan for a year, I smoked daily in the hookah cafes, but when I came home and got married, my wife didn’t appreciate hookah the way I did, so I ceased the practice.  It wasn’t until 8 months later when I needed a job while we were in Virginia and found one working in a hookah lounge that I picked up the practice again.  Now, this is my own personal experience with whether hookah is an addictive practice or not.  But I have to think that we would be very rich entrepreneurs (and we’re not) if hookah was “highly addictive” or really even slightly addictive.  Most of our customers come in once a week to enjoy a hookah, some maybe once a month.  Some customers that used to be regulars (3-4 times a week) have taken up different hobbies and don’t frequent the lounge nearly as often.  There just doesn’t seem to be a comparison here to actual nicotine dependency.  Addiction is defined as “a condition that results when a person ingests a substance (alcohol, cocaine, nicotine) or engages in an activity (gambling) that can be pleasurable but the continued use of which becomes compulsive and interferes with ordinary life responsibilities, such as work or relationships.”  Cigarette smokers frequently take breaks away from work in order to smoke; on some level, it interferes with their schedule.  Time for a cigarette is almost always accommodated for.  However, it takes 10-15 minutes just to set up a hookah and 1-2 hours to enjoy the smoking session.  Hookah is not a compulsive activity… it requires time set aside and planning to enjoy.  Even on a psychological level, it would be difficult to make a case for “hookah addiction”.
  • MYTH #3:  “Smoking hookah will lead to smoking cigarettes.”  This one always makes me laugh out loud.  Literally out loud.  Opponents of hookah smoking say that hookah is the gateway tobacco that leads to other forms of smoking.  If anything, it works the other way around.  I have seen a good amount of customers come in to purchase a hookah from our retail shop in order to curb their cigarette smoking.  The appeal to smoking hookah is vastly different than cigarettes.  People are attracted to hookah for the flavor and smoothness of smoke, as well as the social aspect.  The question is why would anybody who doesn’t smoke cigarettes want to try a harsher, more isolated form of smoking tobacco after having the opposite experience with hookah?  This myth draws on the fact that hookah makes people dependent on nicotine; therefore when hookah isn’t available, they will search for other sources of nicotine.  But that myth has been debunked, and in my 4 years of working in the hookah industry I have never heard of someone picking up smoking cigarettes after enjoying hookah.  Maybe this holds true for a slim minority of people who I have never met, but realistically this is a false statement.
  • MYTH #4:  “Smoking from a hookah during a typical 45-minute session is equivalent to smoking about 100 cigarettes.”  There is some truth to this statement, I’m sure.  The amount of smoke produced from a hookah is much greater than a cigarette because of the evaporation of the glycerin and molasses mixture, however this is where common sense really comes into play.  I continue to say not all smoke is created equal.  What in the world would someone feel like after smoking 100 cigarettes?  I dare say like death.  I’m not even sure if someone would survive that before their lungs collapsed.  Yet, I smoke 3 bowls some days, which means equivalently I smoke “300 cigarettes” a day.  I don’t have cougher’s lung (or any cough), I maintain aerobic exercise without duress, my blood pressure is right where it should be, I hardly get sick or have a sore throat, and I don’t have stained teeth.  All of these are common effects of cigarette smoking.  My personal health aside, the typical customer will come in 1-2 times a week with a couple friends, share the hookah between them while they relax and socialize, and go about their daily lives.  I am not saying that smoking hookah has no impact on one’s health or does it not make one susceptible to heart disease and such.  Again, all tobacco has some risk.  But the comparison is apples to oranges in this case.

 

  • MYTH #5:  “Hookah contains 50-100 times more tar than cigarettes.”  Wikipedia states that tar is ‘the common name for the resinous, partially combusted particulate matter produced by the burning of tobacco and other plant material in the act of smoking.’  In a nutshell, tar is produced primarily through combustion, a method of heating which is not found in hookah smoking.  Some research states that tobacco produces tar at a minimum heat level of 900o whereas shisha will reach a temperature of 350o.  Check out this YouTube video… there are other videos of the sort out there, but essentially this smoker breaths into a napkin after every breath while smoking 1 cigarette with a filter and you see a dark brown tar residue stain, and then does the same practice with hookah for the same amount of time with no stains detected.  Likewise, shortness of breath in cigarette smokers occurs because tar damages lung cells.  If you were to ask (and I have many times) a person who strictly smokes hookah versus someone who smokes cigarettes how their breathing is, particularly during aerobic exercises where the lungs are stressed, you will find that the cigarette user reports difficulty breathing while running, swimming, etc. while the hookah smoker does not notice an impact on their performance.  In the lounge, we use a device called a ShishaVac to help start our hookahs before we present them to the customers as a way to save time.  The ShishaVac has a filter that the smoke is run through, and we pulled the filter out after over 2,000 hookahs were started (using sales reports to determine the number).  The ShishaVac filter did have tar residue but it was a faint brown, whereas contrasted to the filter of 1 spent cigarette it was virtually incomparable.

So the question is, why are there all of these reports on how much more dangerous hookah smoking is than cigarettes if what you are saying is true?  My answer, besides my theory on anti-tobacco lobbyists (not usually a conspiracy theorist, mind you), is that hookah is truly an art.  The water level has to be perfect.  If there isn’t enough water, there won’t be enough suction to draw out the smoke and the heat will remain trapped on top, resulting in burning.  The packing method has to be just right… if you overpack a bowl, the shisha will touch the foil and burn on contact with the heat.  And hookah requires constant heat management, which means if you feel the tobacco is starting to get harsh or burn, then you need to move the coals around the bowl to a place where the heat isn’t as hot to maintain a proper balance.  There are many factors that go into a smooth hookah smoking session, and if any of these is off, it results in a burnt bowl.  Burning tobacco WILL result in more carcinogens, tar, and nicotine.  It WILL make you sick.  So when I picture scientists surrounding a hookah to gauge the properties of the smoke it is drawing out, I picture a burning hot mess, which will not provide an accurate portrayal of the real properties of a properly prepared hookah.  Hookah is an art and takes a lot of practice to have a smooth session.  All in all, I strongly believe based on my research and personal experience that hookah is a safer alternative to cigarettes, but also know it carries its own health risks, all of which I accept when I choose to enjoy a hookah.

There are a number of non-tobacco alternatives on the market for enjoying hookah for those who don’t like the tobacco aspect of it.  Our personal favorite that we serve in the lounge is called Shiazo Steam Stones.  It is a product made of porous minerals that soak up glycerin and flavoring without the negative properties of tobacco.  It produces a nice thick flavorful vapor and has been enjoyed in our lounge by those who don’t want to smoke tobacco or those who have tobacco allergies but want the experience hookah smoking provides.  Feel free to email us with any questions or comments at hookahcloud9@gmail.com.  We’d love to hear from you!

Help Our Local Businesses When Buying Small Ticket Items, Pay Cash. A Message From Kentucky CPS.

Wednesday, February 26th, 2014 11:00 AM CST

I know it seems odd that a company like Kentucky CPS suggests to pay cash for items when they make money off credit card processing. Well, that’s what we love about local businesses like Kentucky CPS. They want what is best for their clients. We know sometimes you just forget cash or can’t make it to the bank before shopping. We understand. Still the fact remains, The Durbin Amendment, enacted in October 2011 as part of the Dodd-Frank Act, set a cap on the amount financial institutions can charge merchants to process debit card transactions. Before the Durbin Amendment, retailers paid an average of 45 cents every time they swiped a debit card. Now, the max card companies can charge is about 21 cents per transaction.

That sounds good for retailers and good for business until you look at the unintended consequences of how credit card companies have responded to the legislation that has limited their ability to charge for processing services.

In the wake of the Durbin Amendment, card companies have done away with discounts they used to give on transaction fees for small amounts, usually under about $10. Now, companies such as Visa and MasterCard charge many small merchants at the max rate of 21 cents.

Most of all it means the profits of many of our local restaurants and bakeries are paying more and making less every time you swipe your card. National companies like Redbox added a $.20 extra fee to make up for it. If you are buying a set of tires or paying for cup of coffee, the interchange fee is the same. The Government intervention in the interchange system will most likely boost profits for giant national retailers but it will clearly harm the interests of our local businesses that deal in small tickets. Sometimes you can’t help but to use a credit card. If you can, try to use cash for those under $10 to help our local businesses.

If you are a local business that is trying to save money on processing, contact Kentucky CPS. Locally you can contact them at 270-303-4982.

Tickets Still Available for ‘The Time Jumpers’ Featuring Dawn Sears, Vince Gill and Kenny Sears at The SKyPAC! The Show is Tuesday, March 25th, 2014 – 7:30pm

The Time Jumpers was established in Nashville in 1998 by an assemblage of high-dollar studio musicians who wanted to spend some spare time drinking beer and jamming with their sonically gifted buddies. The notion of building a rabidly devoted following was the last thing on their minds. But that’s what happened. Learning that Monday evenings were the slowest in the week for the Station Inn bluegrass club, the superpickers settled into that fabled venue at the start of each week and set up shop. Pretty soon Monday nights were sounding a lot like Saturday nights—and drawing commensurately lively crowds.

As word spread along Music Row that something special was happening at Station Inn, big stars began dropping by, some to sit in with the band, others just to enjoy the vast array of country, swing, jazz and pop standards The Time Jumpers rejoiced in playing. Among those drop-bys were Bonnie Raitt, Reba McEntire, Norah Jones, Robert Plant, The White Stripes, Kings Of Leon, Jimmy Buffet and Kelly Clarkson. None asked for their money back.

The current edition of The Time Jumpers includes 11 members, each a master of his (and, in one case, her) instrument. Alphabetically—which is the only diplomatic way to present such a phalanx of evenly matched talent—they are Dennis Crouch (upright bass), Larry Franklin (fiddle), Paul Franklin (steel guitar), Vince Gill (vocals, electric and acoustic guitars), “Ranger Doug” Green (vocals, acoustic rhythm guitar), Andy Reiss (electric guitar), Dawn Sears (vocals), Kenny Sears (vocals, fiddle), Joe Spivey (fiddle, vocals) Jeff Taylor (accordion, piano) and Billy Thomas (drums, vocals). (Individual bios available at www.thetimejumpers.com.)

Want tickets before they go on sale to the general public? Call today to become a SKyPAC Member to receive the opportunity to purchase tickets before they go on sale to the public. Become a SKyPAC Member for the best seats available to this performance and other newly added shows in the future. Contact Deborah Stein at 270-904-5002 for more details.

Get a Renters Policy for Just Pennies a Day From D.C. Clement – State Farm Agent!

Tuesday, February 25th, 2014 9:00 AM CST

For less than a dollar a day, a State Farm® renters insurance policy will cover your property at its full replacement cost. Whether you rent a house or an apartment, protect your possessions with State Farm renters insurance, and you could end up saving thousands.*

Thinking About Protection?

Why You Need Renters Insurance 

The landlord of your apartment has insurance, but it probably only covers the building where you live — not your belongings or your liability for accidents. If your possessions are stolen during a break-in or damaged by a fire or severe weather, a renters insurance policy can allow you to recover their value. If someone is injured during an accident in your home, renters insurance can help protect you in the case a liability lawsuit.

Common myths about renters insurance

Renters Insurance Covers:

Examples not limited to:

  • Fire or Lightning
  • Windstorm or Hail
  • Freezing of plumbing system
  • Theft

Renters Insurance Doesn’t Cover:

  • Bodily injury or property damage that is expected or intended by the insured
  • Business pursuits
  • Professional services provided or not provided
  • Ownership, operation, use, or maintenance of aircraft, motor vehicles, and certain watercraft

Renters insurance cost factors

State Farm is There

More Americans buy renters insurance from State Farm than any other company. With a State Farm renters insurance policy you can:

  • Insure your possessions at their full replacement cost.
  • Cover yourself in the case of a liability lawsuit.
  • Access State Farm’s 24/7 claims service.
  • Work with one of our 17,000 agents.
  • Logon to statefarm.com to manage your policy, submit a claim, or contact your agent.

Jack Black creates exceptional-quality grooming products for those who just want to look and feel their best – without having to fuss or primp. And while we offer a wide range of solutions for a healthier outer body, all Jack Black products have one thing in common. They work. Really well.

Another great product is Barr Co. There is an elegance and style to Barr Co. products. From the design, smell and look. That is a great thing to sell it the first time. What has WL2 at Buckhead Square continuing to stock the product is how good of a product and the result from their different lines.

WL2 is located in Buckhead Square on Campbell Lane. Near The Mattress Store and Buckhead Cafe. It’s fun, it’s charming and it’s unique. Make sure to go by and see the funky and fun store soon as items are changing quite often. Fan them on their facebook page!

Bowling Green Pipe and Cigar’s On Tap Menu for This Week Feature Beers From Bell’s, Schlafly, Great Lakes and Against The Grain!

It’s beer, it’s cigars and it’s a recipe for good times. This weeks draft opportunities for you to consume is not only delicious it’s varied:

Bell’s Brewery ‘Hopslam Ale’- If you are what is affectionately termed a ‘Hop-Head’ this is your beer. From Bell’s: Starting with six different hop varietals added to the brew kettle & culminating with a massive dry-hop addition of Simcoe hops, Bell’s Hopslam Ale possesses the most complex hopping schedule in the Bell’s repertoire. Selected specifically because of their aromatic qualities, these Pacific Northwest varieties contribute a pungent blend of grapefruit, stone fruit, and floral notes. A generous malt bill and a solid dollop of honey provide just enough body to keep the balance in check, resulting in a remarkably drinkable rendition of the Double India Pale Ale style.

Schlafly ‘Irish-Style Extra Stout’- From the Brewery: Our Irish-Style Extra Stout amplifies the traditional drier versions from Ireland for a bolder, black brew.  The addition of both roasted barley and Dark Crystal malted barley give Extra Stout undertones of chocolate, molasses and dried fruit.  The beer is generously hopped with East Kent Goldings to balance the sweetness from the malted barley.

Extra Stout is a descendent of the British and Irish porters of the 18th Century.  These strong porters eventually became known as strong stout, then Foreign Stout or Extra Stout, depending on origin.  Extra Stouts were exported world-wide, gaining popularity in the West Indies, Africa and parts of Asia.

Great Lakes Brewing ‘Eliot Ness® Amber Lager’-An amber lager with rich, fragrant malt flavors balanced by crisp noble hops.

Against The Grain Brewery & Smokehouse ‘Bloody Show’- Based out of Louisville this Mikkeller collaboration has been a popular beer at the cigar shop in the past. From the Brewery: A collaboration beer between Mikkeller and Against the Grain Brewery.  Simply a Blood Orange Pilsner.  Brewed with German Pilsner and munich malts, hopped with American Citra, Columbus, Amarillo and Czech Saaz and fermented with Danish lager yeast.  Then we added the zest and juice from a shit-ton of blood oranges.  The result is a nice easy drinking lager that exhibits a tart and citrusy aroma and flavor.

Gift Cards are available which is another great reason to choose the local shop over online. Check out Bowling Green Pipe and Cigar on facebook. Located at 434 East Main on fountain square you can reach them at 904-2285. Open Monday through Saturday 11:00 am-8:00 pm.

Friday, February 21st, 2014 10:00 AM CST

The one thing we noticed when we started this project of promoting local businesses was the amount of local businesses hire local people to their small business. One of our partners is Grinstead’s flooring a furnishing and they hire exclusively local workers to our region. With 2 sales representatives (plus Owner, Gary Grinstead) who are from Warren County and at any time three crews of two that do their installs the staff is comprised of neighbors who want to help make Bowling Green beautiful, one home at a time. So when you shop at Grinstead’s you know that most of the dollars you spend not only go back in local taxes but, that they are going to pay for the hard work of local workers and salespeople.

With this local staff at Grinstead’s you receive the customer service that is all but a memory in many of the big out of town box stores. You get people who make it a point to know your needs and wants and to try to achieve those needs an wants. It’s not rare to see a Grinstead’s sales representative arriving to a home to measure the job and to bring samples to their home so they can see what the flooring will look like in that person’s home.

Grinstead’s sales reps help you guide through this very important process because they know how important it is to get the job done right the first time. Same goes for the install crew. Many of these crews have been working with Gary at Grinstead’s for years. Gary has made it his mission to be well versed in the latest in the industry and to have a crew that is well prepared to take you from step one to finish of the project.

Please be sure to check out Grinstead’s Flooring and Furnishings online or at their store located at 1353 Old Louisville Road. If you’d like to Gary or one of the helpful staff at Grinstead’s they can be reached in Bowling Green at 270.843.1072.

Friday, February 21st, 2014 7:00 AM CST

Bowling Green has long been in need of a place to relax till the late hours, apart from the loud music and tacky environments of other venues. Cloud 9 Hookah is here to give the people what they want. Bowling Green’s first premiere hookah lounge has operated the past couple years on Broadway with a beautiful, clean and safe environment!

A hookah is a water pipe that one or more people use to smoke flavored tobacco. The tobacco smoke is drawn through the water in the bottom of the pipe, cooling it before it is inhaled into the lungs. The smoke is very smooth and very fruity (depending on the flavor you get!). It is prevalent in the Middle East as a means to pass the time and socialize with friends. It is being revolutionized in America to fit our culture, and Cloud 9 Hookah is at the forefront of that movement… no bellydancers, no Middle Eastern-themed lounges, no sketchy dark places. An inviting, fun, exciting atmosphere with American shisha packed into American hookahs while hanging out with friends… what could be better?

Great atmosphere, free wifi, delicious selection of beverages, and the best hookahs in KY/TN make Cloud 9 Hookah a must for anybody needing to escape the mundane and relax in a comfortable environment! All while enjoying the highest quality products brought to you from us with experience and love. To keep up with their latest events and products hitting their shelves fan them on facebook and follow them on instagram!

Guest Blog From Joshua Smith of Cloud 9 Hookah: “What is Hookah?”

By

By Joshua Smith, hookahclouds.com
Wednesday, February 19th, 2014 7:00 AM CST

To the Western world, hookah seems like an oddity. It’s often viewed as a bong, and this perception isn’t helped any by most retail tobacco shops in the United States, as they couple the device with glass products and real bongs. However, hookah is far apart from the drug community. Think about it… you could take a wooden pipe and place illegal substances in it and smoke it, but we all know that is not the purpose of a wooden pipe. It is the same with hookah; its history is rich with the culture of smoking tobacco. But even within the tobacco culture, it serves a special niche because of its smooth and flavorful smoke.

Hookah originated in India in the 16th century when tobacco was introduced by Europeans. An Iranian physician wanted to create a way in which the tobacco could be smoked without the harsh qualities associated with burning it. Tradition holds it started with a coconut as the base to hold the water with a long metal stem for drawing the smoke out. The concept migrated to Turkey, where the hookah was revolutionized. Glass bases were fitted with durable metal stems and leather hoses to create the composition of most hookahs today. During the Ottoman Empire in the 19ththe Middle Eastern countries, where it is most prevalently enjoyed today. In the Middle Eastern culture of today, hookah cafes are everywhere. Arabs gather every evening in the hookah cafes to enjoy coffee or tea and a hookah, and discuss religion, politics, play chess or cards, or watch their favorite soccer team. It is primarily a social activity much like coffee shops are in the United States.

So what exactly IS hookah? What goes into it? In the United States, “hookah” refers to the device that the tobacco is smoked out of, while “shisha” refers to the tobacco mixture that is smoked. Shisha is comprised of 4 basic ingredients: tobacco, molasses or honey, vegetable glycerin, and flavoring. The molasses or honey is there to moisten and sweeten the tobacco. Glycerin is added to give the tobacco thicker smoke. It is the same product used in e-cigarettes to give the thick vapor. Check out this article for more information on what glycerin is and why it is used in the making of shisha. Different brands of shisha use different types of tobacco, and can fall under two basic categories: unwashed or washed.
Unwashed means the tobacco maintains most of the properties it was grown with, while washed tobacco means the leaves are rinsed to remove a lot of its properties. Washed shishas are usually sweeter and more candied, while unwashed shisha is focused more on maintaining a stronger tobacco taste.

Once the shisha is placed in the bowl on top of the hookah, it is covered in foil to keep the heat from directly contacting the tobacco. The heat source is charcoal, and there are several different types on the market. Our personal favorite is coconut coal, where the husks of coconuts are compressed into natural organic charcoal blocks. Hookah utilizes charcoal in order to slowly cook the tobacco, essentially vaporizing the tobacco to draw out the essence of it. It does not use an open flame and is not combustible, so when the bowl is finished there is no ash, only dehydrated tobacco leaves. This is what separates hookah from other forms of smoking such as cigarettes, pipes, and cigars. Vaporizing the tobacco gives it a very smooth, flavorful taste that will not burn your throat, make your clothes smell, or leave you with a bad taste in your mouth. Coupled with a relaxing atmosphere where you can socialize with your friends, it is no surprise why hookah is a growing trend for all ages.

Cloud 9 hookah is a great atmosphere, free wifi, delicious selection of beverages, and the best hookahs in KY/TN make Cloud 9 Hookah a must for anybody needing to escape the mundane and relax in a comfortable environment! All while enjoying the highest quality products brought to you from us with experience and love.

Today is Market Day! Check Out Community Farmer’s Market’s Vendor of the Week: ATP Greenhouse.

By

By CFM, communityfarmersmarketbg.com
Tuesday, February 18th, 2014 12:00 PM CST

The Origin & Dream:

Who is the mastermind between ATP Greenhouse, you ask…

The answer is Michael Robbins. He is the son of Gary and Betty Robbins, who you might often see working the ATP Greenhouse booth at CFM. Michael started the business in 2010 and named it in honor of Betty’s dad, Michael’s grandfather. As you may have guessed, “ATP” were his grandfather’s initials. Michael and his grandfather were very close when he was growing up, and he felt it only fitting to name his business endeavor after a man that played such an influential role in his life.
The farm is located in Butler County, KY (Morgantown) and includes a 120 sq. ft. greenhouse. Their biggest crop is tomatoes. Their biggest customers are Houchens IGA and Bowling Green City Schools. You may find that their tomatoes and pickles are showing up on your child’s lunch plate–how about that?!?

Produce/Pre-Made Goods:

The produce yield that one might see at the market from this KY Proud vendor according to season is as follows: heritage tomatoes, cabbage, “Peaches & Cream” corn, cucumbers, squash, greens, sweet potatoes, onions, and just a little bit of everything else. They also have a variety of canned vegetables, including pickles, saur kraut, pears, etc. Betty makes and sales some spectacular baked goods like red velvet cupcakes, fried apple pies, carrot cake, and pound cake. She is open for custom baked item orders, as well. Be on the look out for a newly featured item called “home cooked meals to go.” They are baskets full of baked goods, veggies, eggs, and pre-made entrees (lasagna, soup). You can reserve yours prior to market or purchase on day of.

What They Want You To Know:

Michael, Gary, and Betty would like to thank Community Farmers Market and their customers for being a welcoming haven for their business. It was at the market that they met Kim Simpson, who is over food service and nutrition at Bowling Green City Schools. It was with her help, that a plan was developed for introducing more local food to our school children. And it is at the market every Tuesday and Saturday that they have the pleasure of interacting with friendly and supportive people who believe in their business.
Michael, Gary, and Betty would also like their consumers to know that their produce is raised to maturity WITHOUT the application of pesticides. They, however, utilize fertilizer to aide with nourishment to their crops causing the designation of “certified organic” to be unattainable at this time. For further answers to questions about their growing practices utilize the contact information below.

 Contact Info:

Micheal can be contacted by phone and email.
Phone: 270-999-1305

Contemporary decorating is intended to create uncluttered, comfortable and spacious living areas through a minimalist approach. Contemporary décor is often noted by light-filled spaces with slick finishes, open floor plans, geometric shapes, and minimal furnishings. Organic materials that are used as accents include metals, glass, and stone. Contemporary furnishings boast clean-lined chairs and tables, tailored upholstery and slipcovers, and accents of intriguing shapes. Furniture should be comfortable but not bulky.

Slim window treatments are designed for a space to blend rather than to contrast with wall colors. Choices for drapery materials include silks, rayon blends, velvets, and wool, which can warm the sleek line of contemporary furniture. Upholstery is often done in leather and suede. Clean, uncluttered surfaces enhance contemporary styling.

Traditional contemporary decorating focuses on neutral whites, creams, taupes, browns, and blacks; bold colors can create detailing and add excitement to contemporary décor. Splashes of bold, bright hues can accentuate specific features and add personality to a contemporary-styled space.

Tuesday, February 18th, 2014 7:00 AM CST

Booth Fire & Safety has been designing and installing automatic fire suppression systems since the company’s inception in 1959.

Booth Fire & Safety is a proud distributor for Kidde Fenwal and Ansul, Inc. We have been protecting cooking equipment, industrial equipment and sensitive electronic equipment with the latest, state-of-the-art suppression systems since 1959.

Our factory trained staff can design, engineer and install clean agent fire suppression systems such as Carbon Dioxide, FM200 and Inergen, as well as UL-300 Wet Chemical kitchen range-hood systems.

We have the capability to inspect and service most types of existing fire suppression systems!

Typical areas protected by these systems are:

  • Cooking exhaust hoods and equipment
  • Computer rooms
  • Communication centers
  • Electronic equipment
  • Cable Head End Rooms
  • Document Storage Facilities
  • Paint spray booths
  • Manufacturing processes

Our highly trained staff can assist you with:

  1. Choosing the proper protection for your hazard
  2. Engineering and Designing the system
  3. Obtaining State and local approvals
  4. Submitting all necessary paperwork and drawings
  5. Installing the system
  6. Training of staff on proper operation and safety concerns of your new suppression system.
  7. Arranging Semi-Annual inspections and certifications of your system.

Carbon Dioxide Fire Suppression Systems

Carbon Dioxide (C02) gas has a high ratio of expansion which facilitates rapid discharge and allows for three dimensional penetration of the entire hazard area quickly. Carbon Dioxide extinguishes a fire by reducing the oxygen content of the protected area below the point where it can support combustion. Carbon Dioxide Fire extinguishing systems typically store the agent in one of two different ways: in high pressure cylinders, or in low pressure CO2 tanks.

Due to the extreme density of the Carbon Dioxide, it quickly and effectively permeates the protected hazard area and suppresses the fire. Rapid expansion of the 4-6 inches of Carbon Dioxide snow to gas reduces the ambient temperature in the protected hazard area which aids in the extinguishing process and retards re-ignition.

CO2 Is Non-Damaging

When designed, engineered, and installed properly, Carbon Dioxide fire suppression systems will not normally damage sensitive electronic equipment. Carbon Dioxide has no residual clean-up associated with its use as a fire suppressing agent. When it is properly ventilated, the gas escapes to atmosphere after the fire has been extinguished.

CO2 Is Electrically Non-conductive

Carbon Dioxide fire extinguishing systems can be used to protect a wide variety of hazards, from delicate electronic equipment to high-voltage electrical equipment, without danger or damage.

CO2 Is Versatile

The unique extinguishing properties of Carbon Dioxide allow it to be used in a wide range of special hazards. Booth Fire & Safety Inc. proudly designs, installs and services Kidde, and Ansul Carbon Dioxide fire suppression systems.

FM-200
Clean Agent Systems

FM-200 is the environmentally friendly replacement gas for Halon 1301. The production of Halon was halted in 1994. FM-200 was introduced to the market and is the most widely used product in the world.

Environmentally-friendly. The preferred fire suppression system for vital facilities that can’t afford fire-related business interruption of process controls, automated industrial operations, robotics, etc. Active on fire, but inert on people; non-toxic when used per NFPA Standard 2001. Safe, no-residue protection for Class A, B and C fires. Every Kidde system checked for design accuracy. Designed for maximum protection with minimum hardware; less space, lower cost. UL Listed and Factory Mutual approved.

It’s Almost Time To Take Your Sweetheart to Community Farmer’s Market. Check Out Community Farmer’s Market’s Vendor of the Week: ATP Greenhouse.

Saturday, February 15th, 2014 7:00 AM CST

The Origin & Dream:

Who is the mastermind between ATP Greenhouse, you ask…

The answer is Michael Robbins. He is the son of Gary and Betty Robbins, who you might often see working the ATP Greenhouse booth at CFM. Michael started the business in 2010 and named it in honor of Betty’s dad, Michael’s grandfather. As you may have guessed, “ATP” were his grandfather’s initials. Michael and his grandfather were very close when he was growing up, and he felt it only fitting to name his business endeavor after a man that played such an influential role in his life.
The farm is located in Butler County, KY (Morgantown) and includes a 120 sq. ft. greenhouse. Their biggest crop is tomatoes. Their biggest customers are Houchens IGA and Bowling Green City Schools. You may find that their tomatoes and pickles are showing up on your child’s lunch plate–how about that?!?

Produce/Pre-Made Goods:

The produce yield that one might see at the market from this KY Proud vendor according to season is as follows: heritage tomatoes, cabbage, “Peaches & Cream” corn, cucumbers, squash, greens, sweet potatoes, onions, and just a little bit of everything else. They also have a variety of canned vegetables, including pickles, saur kraut, pears, etc. Betty makes and sales some spectacular baked goods like red velvet cupcakes, fried apple pies, carrot cake, and pound cake. She is open for custom baked item orders, as well. Be on the look out for a newly featured item called “home cooked meals to go.” They are baskets full of baked goods, veggies, eggs, and pre-made entrees (lasagna, soup). You can reserve yours prior to market or purchase on day of.

What They Want You To Know:

Michael, Gary, and Betty would like to thank Community Farmers Market and their customers for being a welcoming haven for their business. It was at the market that they met Kim Simpson, who is over food service and nutrition at Bowling Green City Schools. It was with her help, that a plan was developed for introducing more local food to our school children. And it is at the market every Tuesday and Saturday that they have the pleasure of interacting with friendly and supportive people who believe in their business.
Michael, Gary, and Betty would also like their consumers to know that their produce is raised to maturity WITHOUT the application of pesticides. They, however, utilize fertilizer to aide with nourishment to their crops causing the designation of “certified organic” to be unattainable at this time. For further answers to questions about their growing practices utilize the contact information below.

 Contact Info:

Micheal can be contacted by phone and email.
Phone: 270-999-1305
Email: ml.robbins@live.com

Gary may be contacted at:

Get To Know Keenan Fish of Cloud 9 Hookah! A World Traveler, A Local Business Owner and A Great Advocate For The Real Hookah Experience.

Thursday, February 13th, 2014 12:00 PM CST

Cloud 9 Hookah is our newest partner and we are excited about it. There are a ton of misconceptions in the US about Hookah and these guys are able to address them and show what a great time you can have enjoying an activity popular all over the world. We also love how knowledgeable about their product. Much like our other partners, they are passionate about what they do. Today, we speak with half of the dynamic duo behind Cloud 9, Josh Smith:

Tell us a little about you as a person. Where are you from, what are your hobbies and what inspired you to create your store?  

 I was born in Frankfurt, Germany in a University Hospital.  I lived there 3 years with my military parents when I moved back to the U.S. and grew up around Fort Knox.  I graduated with a BA in Psychology from WKU and worked in mental health for about 2 years.  I moved to Boston where I lived with family for one year, before moving to Costa Rica for a year and a half.  I worked for a language and volunteer institute (Maximo Nivel) as there Customer Service Manager.  I biked and enjoyed the outdoors as one would in a such a beautiful country.  I moved back to Bowling Green in Feb 2012 where I opened Cloud 9 with my business partner and best mate, Joshua Smith.
What is your earliest memory of your work, what got you interested in it? 
My earliest memory is my senior year of college in 2008.  Joshua had gotten into hookah with a friend of his and would have gatherings at his house where they would play games, talk and smoke hookah.  At the time I wasn’t a fan of hookah but a huge fan of the atmosphere it created.  It wasn’t until Josh had perfected the art of making a hookah, and showed me how it could be done in 2011, that I fell in love with smoking hookah. The enjoyment of that experience mixed with the atmosphere, I knew, surrounded the activity, sealed the deal for my passion in hookah.  It is often thought that hookah is intertwined with drugs.  The atmosphere I speak of, is one rooted in hookah history and most often portrayed, but less publicized.  That is one of relaxing to a wonderful hookah, with coffee or tea, with friends who want to relax and talk.  The connection is made from ignorance about hookah as well as the unfortunate few who mix hookah with the selling of marijuana products and “spice”.  We have several B.G. Police officers who frequent our lounge and see the truth of this, as they enjoy a wonderful hookah and relaxing environment.
What is your favorite thing you sale? 
My favorite thing to sell is knowledge.  For when a customer purchases a hookah or shisha (a traditional name for the tobacco smoked in a hookah) they purchase information as well.  We have always pushed hookah knowledge as a primary objective.  A person purchasing a personal hookah, shisha, or a smoking session in the lounge, will ultimately enjoy it the most if they know more about it.  So to see a customer purchase any item and to leave knowing more about it, makes me pleased to know they will come back because they have received more than just one purchase, but knowledge to enhance there overall experience.  
Who are your influences in life and your work? 
From sophomore year of college on, when I took my faith seriously, God has been the most influential in my life and work.  Even when I have decided to walk my own way He has guided me.  This entails, morals, life choices, and a desire to work, and be seen to work hard at jobs I hated.  My brother, Cory, has always been a huge influence on me personally and professionally.  He is a man of utmost integrity, and has a way of balancing his life well with work and fun.  Joshua, my best mate, would be the third.  He is one who never shy’s away from truth.  He is always straightforward and honest and I believe in work and life, that will always benefit you in the end.  
If you had to choose a last meal, what would you eat (Just a fun question and doesn’t have to be local)?
I am a fan of seafood, and would choose a clam bake style meal.  This would include “steamers” (clams), lobster, and a selection of fish (Haddock, Halibut, Swordfish etc.)
How important is local business collaboration to you? 
I believe it can only enhance profit and marketing when done well.  Many businesses share similar interests in their customers.  So by collaborating and cross-marketing they are able to easily point customers to the other business, and vice versa. It also allows businesses to share ideas about growth and customer satisfaction.
What event in Bowling Green (or Charity) are you involved with? 
We have been involved with CRU (Campus Crusade for Christ) both at Western and abroad.  We have also supported 2 mission trips to Haiti in the past year.  We both have a heart for working abroad but do not neglect the work done locally.  This includes supporting the Police Department who work hard to keep us safe. 
What do you see for the future of your business in Bowling Green and serving South Central Kentucky? 
I see us heavily involved in cross-marketing with local businesses with a better line of communication between those business.  I see us growing and able to support more local charities and organizations, in general, that we feel do good work in the both the community and abroad.
What other locally owned businesses in town do you enjoy shopping, eating or patronizing?
I do not enjoy shopping, but food I love.  Therefore, I have enjoyed the Brickyard Cafe, Kyotos, 440, Spencers, and Thai Express to name a few.

Cloud 9 Hookah has cultivated a great atmosphere on Broadway with free wifi, delicious selection of beverages, and the best hookahs in KY/TN make Cloud 9 Hookah a must for anybody needing to escape the mundane and relax in a comfortable environment! All while enjoying the highest quality products brought to you from us with experience and love.

Today Is Community Farmer’s Market’s Tuesday Market Day! Let’s Take A Look At The Vendors of the Week: Dacia Shoemaker Jenna Settle Melissa Jolly!

Tuesday, February 11th, 2014 12:00 PM CST

This week the market is showcasing these three lovely ladies in one post because their work will be found together each week at one booth. Each of their aesthetics are pleasing to the eye—their creative styles are matchless.

Dacia Shoemaker

Dacia started selling at the market in 2010, but her creativity blossomed far before that. She has been creating most of her life. Her master craft is sewing and projects are varied in nature. Her greatest passion, however, is re-purposing vintage fabric or clothes into new things–and she is skilled at it too!! Dacia also paints, draws, knits, and designs amazing things. If you are interested in checking out her latest interior design aesthetic mosey on over to Home Cafe, where she and several other skilled designers created the cozy vibe. Currently, Dacia is focusing efforts on creating neck ties out of vintage fabric, alterations, and custom orders. If you are interested in contacting her for a commissioned piece of artwork or a custom order, email her at the following address: cobblerswife@gmail.com.

Jenna Settle

Jenna (Moore) Settle has been creating since before she can remember. She and Dacia started selling at the market, however, around the same time. Jenna, too, has a wide variety of wares to be sold. At this time, she is focusing her attention on creating quaint terrariums, unique cooking utensils, and hand stamps fabrics/prints. Her skills, however, are not limited to any of the above. During the day, Jenna spends her time as a graphic designer at Studio Calico. In her free time, she devotes time to friends, family, travel, creating her unique items for sale, and designing interior spaces. Her design work can also be seen at Home Cafe and Marketplace. Jenna is equipped to make eclectic custom orders, as well. She may be reached at the following email for requests: jenna.beth.moore@gmail.com.

Melissa Jolly

Melissa Jolly is the jewelry-maker of the bunch, though her skills are not limited to just that, as well. She has been making jewelry since the year 2000, and for the past 14 years has created a style that is unique and attractive. Melissa makes earrings, necklaces, and custom pieces. She is passionate about finding the right beads and purchasing them from people with whom she has a close personal tie. Her beads are purchased within the United States from home businesses much like her own. She takes special care in hand-picking her beads; which often are simply chosen because they catch her creative eye. Her passion lies in making a quality product that is affordable–she keeps all her earring prices at $10. Melissa hopes to reopen her Etsy shop soon while continuing to sell at the Community Farmers Market. If you would like to contact Melissa about commissioning a piece use the following contact information: jollydoula@gmail.com or 270-791-9508.

Sometimes we like to look at our local businesses Philosophy. Since it’s coffee time, here’s Spencer’s Coffee:

“It’s a wake-up call. It’s a social stimulant. It’s a relatively simple thing, in theory, yet there’s a whole world of enjoyment within.

It’s the last one that drives us: To delve deep into coffee — the science, the art, the flavor — and then provide it to southcentral Kentucky in a comfortable, friendly environment.

Of course, you have to eat, so we’ve got that covered too — with hand-sliced meats and cheeses, handmade soups and sides, and the best breakfast sandwiches ever devised.

Some of that might sound cliché. After all, doesn’t every place say their fare is fantastic? But it’s what we do, every day, in a little place called Bowling Green. And we can’t think of any other way to explain it.”

Also, Every Tuesday Spencer’s Coffeehouse puts 20% off a bunch of whole-bean coffees. It’s one of the best parts of the weekend. We don’t live downtown and it’s nice to have a bag of our favorite local coffeehouse’s coffee at our fingertips. You better get down there quick and grab yourself a bag. When the 20% off coffee is gone so is the deal.

Spencer’s Coffeehouse is the only cafe in southcentral Kentucky offering 100% organic, 100% fair-trade coffees from around the globe, hand-roasted for Bowling Green coffee lovers in nearby Louisville. Check them out online or fan them at their facebook page.

By CFM, communityfarmersmarketbg.com
Friday, February 7th, 2014 9:00 AM CST

This week the market is showcasing these three lovely ladies in one post because their work will be found together each week at one booth. Each of their aesthetics are pleasing to the eye—their creative styles are matchless.

Dacia Shoemaker

Dacia started selling at the market in 2010, but her creativity blossomed far before that. She has been creating most of her life. Her master craft is sewing and projects are varied in nature. Her greatest passion, however, is re-purposing vintage fabric or clothes into new things–and she is skilled at it too!! Dacia also paints, draws, knits, and designs amazing things. If you are interested in checking out her latest interior design aesthetic mosey on over to Home Cafe, where she and several other skilled designers created the cozy vibe. Currently, Dacia is focusing efforts on creating neck ties out of vintage fabric, alterations, and custom orders. If you are interested in contacting her for a commissioned piece of artwork or a custom order, email her at the following address: cobblerswife@gmail.com.

Jenna Settle

Jenna (Moore) Settle has been creating since before she can remember. She and Dacia started selling at the market, however, around the same time. Jenna, too, has a wide variety of wares to be sold. At this time, she is focusing her attention on creating quaint terrariums, unique cooking utensils, and hand stamps fabrics/prints. Her skills, however, are not limited to any of the above. During the day, Jenna spends her time as a graphic designer at Studio Calico. In her free time, she devotes time to friends, family, travel, creating her unique items for sale, and designing interior spaces. Her design work can also be seen at Home Cafe and Marketplace. Jenna is equipped to make eclectic custom orders, as well. She may be reached at the following email for requests: jenna.beth.moore@gmail.com.

Melissa Jolly

Melissa Jolly is the jewelry-maker of the bunch, though her skills are not limited to just that, as well. She has been making jewelry since the year 2000, and for the past 14 years has created a style that is unique and attractive. Melissa makes earrings, necklaces, and custom pieces. She is passionate about finding the right beads and purchasing them from people with whom she has a close personal tie. Her beads are purchased within the United States from home businesses much like her own. She takes special care in hand-picking her beads; which often are simply chosen because they catch her creative eye. Her passion lies in making a quality product that is affordable–she keeps all her earring prices at $10. Melissa hopes to reopen her Etsy shop soon while continuing to sell at the Community Farmers Market. If you would like to contact Melissa about commissioning a piece use the following contact information: jollydoula@gmail.com or 270-791-9508.

Spring Sports Are Just Around The Corner! Does Your Kid’s Sports Team Have a Proper First Aid Kit? You Need A Visit To Booth Fire and Safety!

By

No youth sports team or competition should be without a first aid kit designed to treat the most common injuries and illnesses that might be encountered. Booth Fire and Safety can help you make sure your child or teenagers team is kept safe with a first aid kit or other products.

  • Match the contents to the sport: The type of first aid that may be required varies by sport. Because bruises, abrasions, and sprained ankles are more common in baseball, a baseball team’s first aid kit, for instance, needs to be stocked with cold packs, elastic bandages, and Band-Aids, while a track team’s kit needs to have plenty of supplies to treat blisters, abrasions, pulled muscles, and sprains. If your team is going to be in the sun, carry sunscreen; the cross-country coach needs to carry an allergy kit to manage bee stings.
  • Stock a realistic quantity: Be prepared to treat more than one child at an event. For younger children, remember to stock pediatric doses (in liquid form, if necessary).
  • Ensure ready access: First aid supplies should be placed where they are readily accessible, and marked clearly to allow rapid identification. Use Ziploc-type bags within the kit for extra materials and to sort your supplies. For instance, it is helpful to partition supplies into modules “for wound care,” “for an allergic reaction,” and so forth.
  • Protect against damage: Carry supplies in a watertight container designed to withstand years of rough handling and extremes in temperature, such as a plastic (Pelican case or Otter Box) or metal container equipped with a rubber O-ring gasket for a tight, waterproof seal.

Contents

Listed below are what a sports first aid should contain. Go through this list carefully, and make a decision to include or exclude these items from your medical kit. Have a medical professional teach you how to take care of your players, so that when the time comes, you will know how to apply a Steri-Strip to close a wound, mold a Sam Splint to support a sprained wrist, or use a pocket mask to perform rescue breathing.

Get To Know Joshua Smith of Cloud 9 Hookah! The Son of a Preacher, International Relations Grad from WKU and Co-Owner of Bowling Green’s Locally Owned Hookah Shop!

Friday, February 7th, 2014 10:00 AM CST

Cloud 9 Hookah is our newest partner and we are excited about it. There are a ton of misconceptions in the US about Hookah and these guys are able to address them and show what a great time you can have enjoying an activity popular all over the world. We also love how knowledgeable about their product. Much like our other partners, they are passionate about what they do. Today, we speak with half of the dynamic duo behind Cloud 9, Josh Smith:

Tell us a little about you as a person. Where are you from, what are your hobbies and what inspired you to create your store?  

I am originally from Boone, North Carolina in the heart of the Appalachian Mountains.  I graduated from WKU in 2009 with a BA in International Relations with a focus on Middle Eastern Studies.  I enjoy outdoor activities like hiking, snow skiing, and volleyball; traveling; and hookah.  I was inspired to create the store because I was passionate about hookah and all the good things it represents, but it wasn’t until I acquired the tools of the trade through working for a hookah business in Virginia that I felt compelled to open one here.
What is your earliest memory of your work, what got you interested in it? 
In college in 2007, one of my friends mentioned hookah as a new activity where you smoke dried fruits.  I didn’t really use any tobacco products before, so this intrigued me because I thought maybe it was something I could enjoy without getting into tobacco.  Of course, this information was all wrong, but I enjoyed my first time nonetheless, and my experience and passion grew from there.
What is your favorite thing you sale? 
My favorite product that we sell is the Regal Hookah.  Availability is rare on these precious hookahs, but they are all American-made from Boulder, Colorado.  They are created using hard anodized aerospace-grade aluminum for durability and either California Redwood or Colorado Beetle-Kill Pine for the aesthetics.  Most hookahs use only metal components, but the Regal Hookah merges wood and metal for a very polished unique look.  The best part is every stem is completely different because of the characteristics of the wood; and Regal Hookah only uses the highest quality materials, so the stem will last a lifetime.  We proudly serve these hookahs in our lounge, and we are only the second lounge in the country to do so.  The first would be a lounge in Boulder itself.  When we do get our hands on some extras for our retail shelves, they usually sell out within 1-2 weeks.
Who are your influences in life and your work? 
My father is the biggest influence in my life for both life and work.  He has been a preacher for over 30 years, and in every decision he made, whether it be for the family or for work, he always had the utmost integrity.  Everything he does is because of his love for God.  So even though our line of work can be viewed as controversial or “alternative” from those who don’t know much about hookah, our business model strives to incorporate a strong sense of integrity and our personal faith naturally pours into our company.
If you had to choose a last meal, what would you eat (Just a fun question and doesn’t have to be local)?
My wife’s Fried Chicken because it is the best I have ever had (I joke with her that one day, we should open up a Chicken & Waffles joint).  I would love to name a business to provide that meal but nobody cooks like my wife.
How important is local business collaboration to you? 
It is critical for us because hookah is mostly an unknown practice in the States, or those who think they know about it are seriously misinformed.  Our work has been laid out for us, with several hookah lounges coming before us and perpetuating the debilitating stereotypes.  Just as with any other line of work, there are those who value quality and customer service, and there are those who are in it for the quick buck.  Local business collaboration gives us the opportunity to not only team up with some other great people in the community and help promote their brand in our shop, but also the ability to reach new crowds and teach the community what hookah really is about, what it looks like when it’s done right, and why it might appeal to them.
What event in Bowling Green (or Charity) are you involved with? 
Since we opened in April 2012, we have been supporting the campus ministry CRU on WKU’s campus, but Keenan & I enjoyed working with the homeless in college.  Collaborating with great organizations like Hotel Inc. and the local food bank is something we want to get serious about, especially now that we have a little bit more time to focus outside the lounge rather than just the daily grind.
What do you see for the future of your business in Bowling Green and serving South Central Kentucky? 
We want to continue to expand our retail products while providing consistent service in our lounge.  The hookah industry in America has blown up the past 10 years, and there will continue to be an evolution in the practice, with new and exciting products coming out.  We are dedicated to staying on top of that market so that Bowling Green has access to the best hookah supplies.  In addition to that, we are always trying to improve the lounge atmosphere, adding new artwork, working with other businesses and local musicians… we never want to become complacent.
What other locally owned businesses in town do you enjoy shopping, eating or patronizing?
Brickyard Cafe, Home Cafe, WL2, Age of Reason, Roughdraft Homestead CSA, Community Farmer’s Market, Wino’s Depot, and the little Mexican cafe on Clay St. between 11th and 12th makes some mean Carbon Tacos and Horchata.

Great atmosphere, free wifi, delicious selection of beverages, and the best hookahs in KY/TN make Cloud 9 Hookah a must for anybody needing to escape the mundane and relax in a comfortable environment! All while enjoying the highest quality products brought to you from us with experience and love.

St. Paul and The Broken Bones (a blue eyed Southern soul band surging to national fame) Newest Limited Edition Vinyl EP is available now at Mellow Matt’s Music & More!

We at Buy Local Bowling Green have been fans of St. Paul Broken Bones after hearing about them playing some shows in 2013 in Nashville. We’re very excited that Mellow Matt’s Music and More has their Limited Edition Vinyl EP featuring their song ‘Call Me:’

Seems we weren’t the only ones since Garden and Gun wrote a great piece on them in this month’s issue.

If you check out the video for “Call Me” by St. Paul and the Broken Bones, the first thing you notice is the natty attire. The horn section is in crisp shirts and ties, and front man Paul Janeway wears a suit jacket and pocket square. But then Janeway’s thunderous voice takes over: a raspy, rafter-rattling soul powerhouse that propels him to shimmy his way across the stage like Mick Jagger at a backwoods tent revival.

The preaching comparison isn’t just a metaphor. The twenty-eight-year-old Janeway grew up in Chelsea, Alabama, in a devout family in which secular music was largely forbidden. At the church he and his family attended, worship included raucous save-my-soul services during which Janeway was often asked to testify through song to the audience. “It was a lot of Holy Roller type of stuff,” he says. “I snuck in a little Sam Cooke and Otis Redding, but the rest of my music was learned through the church. But it taught me one thing: I know how to read a crowd.”

Our designer is Emily Estes and her company Emproved.com Graphic Design is perfect for someone who needs a pretty consistent design campaign:

One-on-one graphic design service, providing professionally customized artwork. If you can see it, I can design it! Why pay an in-house designer?

This Afternoon Weather report from Landon Hampton at Weather or Not Bowling Green:

Cloudy, dreary, chances for light snow…will it ever end!?

This Afternoon – Partly Cloudy, Scat’d Flurries – High 26˚ / Tonight – Cloudy & Cold – Low 12˚

3pm 26˚ ~ 6pm 24˚ ~ 9pm 19˚ ~ 12am 17˚ ~ 3am 13˚ ~ 6am 12˚

High pressure is currently tracking our way from the west, however, shallow moisture will keep cloudy skies and light snow showers/flurries around through the remainder of the afternoon.  Use caution on the evening commute, as roads could once again become slick.  Tonight, we’ll remain partly to mostly cloudy, as temps take a big tumble to the lower teens.  BRRR.  Here’s a look at how the current surface conditions look across the area:
