Morris Jewelry is happy to announce a new $5,000 scholarship opportunity for 2013, open to Juniors and Seniors in Warren County High Schools (or home-schooled). This essay competition will focus on selected historic buildings in Bowling Green, and their potential for adaptive reuse. Students will choose a building from among five listed below, and propose in what way it might best serve community needs into the future.
The Frank Maier Scholarship is in memory of one of Bowling Green’s early German immigrant entrepreneurs, who founded what is today Morris Jewelry at 408 E. Main Street. Mr. Maier also served as a city councilman, and was a pillar of the community.
Bowling Green has a rich history in historic preservation. Our beautiful Fountain Square Park is a prime example of citizen and city efforts to preserve and maintain a national treasure. Other notable examples of preservation successes in Bowling Green include Riverview at Hobson Grove, the L&N Railroad Depot, and the Quigley Younglove building on State Street. In all of these cases, preservation minded citizens of Bowling Green have ensured through their efforts, the future use and enjoyment of these historic places.
Student proposals, on the preservation and adaptive reuse of historic buildings in downtown Bowling Green, should recommend how their selected building may best contribute to a vibrant and diverse mix of businesses that appeal to all ages. The president of Western Kentucky University recently challenged us to create a “cool factor” in our downtown businesses that would attract WKU students. Added significance is gained when such future use of existing structures involves the linking of historical events and places to our modern life. What we do not want is for our downtown area to become a relic of the past. Any proposed renovation of subject buildings must be done in a manner that preserves the historical nature of the structure while modernizing it in a fashion that accentuates the overall building’s appearance and function. Application of critical thinking for solutions to these challenges is a major goal of the 2013 essay competition.
In making proposals for a specific building, keep in mind the hierarchy of preservation priorities. If possible, preserving what remains of the structure is most desirable. Windows that may be repaired, for example, are preferable to replacement windows. When original structural components are not usable, identify what gives the building its character, by identifying its most important features. The renovation should then incorporate such features to the extent possible. As a last resort, the redesign of a façade, for example, should be compatible with the original building design, and take inspiration from the historic district in which it exists.
A secondary goal for this essay competition is the preservation and appreciation of cursive writing. Cursive writing is a discipline and an art form. The ability to write in cursive, and read documents written in “long hand” is waning in our society. Many of our youth lack the ability to read and appreciate our nation’s founding documents that were written in cursive in their original form. The requirement to handwrite submissions for this essay competition is one small way to help reverse this trend. Therefore, in order to compete, proposals must be submitted in the student’s own hand, and written in cursive.
Students must choose one of the following five buildings as the subject for their proposal on the adaptive re-use of a Bowling Green historical site:
A rubric is attached that will be used to score the proposal on content, grammar, spelling, legibility, and conciseness. Note that content has a heavier weighting.
Proposals must be submitted to Morris Jewelry by April 19, 2013. The winner will be announced before May 31, 2013. We hope this project stirs interest in our historic downtown area and produces proposals that are sufficient to present as potential redevelopment projects.
The award is a $5000 scholarship to a university of the student’s choice.

Bowling Green, the short-lived Confederate Capital of Kentucky, will continue its Sesquicentennial Commemoration with an Union Reenactment event this spring. After forcing the Confederate army out of town in February of 1862, Union troops continued to occupy the city of Bowling Green for the remainder of the Civil War.
This living history event will include camping for re-enactors on the grounds of the L&N Depot at the Historic Railpark & Train Museum, living history demonstrations in historic downtown Fountain Square Park, artillery drills and children’s games in Circus Square Park, historic architectural walking tours, a ladies’ tea, cemetery lantern tours, a Military Ball, a period church service, and a memorial service. All of these events take place within walking distance in downtown Bowling Green except for the memorial service to be held at Fairview Cemetery.
Click here to download a tentative schedule of events.
All activities are free to the public except the cemetery tour and Military Ball. There is no charge for re-enactors to participate and several meals plus a bounty will be provided, but there is a limit, so advanced registration is required. Download a Registration Form here.
Spectators can also enjoy the Railpark’s Civil War exhibits and artifacts or venture down to the Kentucky Museum to view its “A Star in Each Flag: Conflict in Kentucky” exhibit. Nearby Riverview at Hobson Grove, one of the sites on Kentucky’s Civil War Trail, is another popular stop for heritage travelers.

FARM to FORK
Cooking local, cooking fresh. That is what it is all about today. If you go anywhere like a big city and have dinner at a recognized establishment or a place where the locals keep secret and you find it difficult to get reservations, chances are you are going to be eating local and fresh ingredients. The reason it is difficult to get reservations is because the food is spectacular and the reason for that is because of the chefs going to market. They have a connection and a relationship with their farmers.
Buy fresh, Buy local is the slogan for most celebrity chefs this day and time. Good for them but good for you too. YOU have the opportunity to be the same as a Jamie Oliver, Emeril or Wolfgang Puck. YOU can buy fresh and buy local at your SKY Farmers market. This is a very important message that needs to be passed along to folks.
There is a beautiful opportunity here as well. You have the option to bring your kids to market with you and allow them to help you shop for the family meals. It is really a lot of fun for them to help mom and dad pick out the produce, but this teaches them some responsibility and a lesson in forging relationships with people who work hard to provide it. It is also the perfect time to speak to them about why it’s important to…
Support your local Farmer’s Market
With the constraints placed on farmers in this country, we really do owe it to ourselves and to them to give our support. If you can, and you can, try to find farmers who take the harder road and grow organically—your family’s health, not to mention a better ecosystem and a lighter carbon footprint, will be your reward.
The vendors are able to showcase the very best of what is in season locally—small dairies (J D Farms) sell milk, cream, and cheese from cows living perhaps only a few miles away, and farmers bring in produce that heralds the arrival of each season. How exciting is it to see those products on our tables, picked at the peak of ripeness and full of vitamins, nutrients and fiber.
An added bonus is that there is no excess packaging to recycle, and no annoying little stickers to pry off your fragile produce. Also, small farmers often grow different and unusual, heirloom and seasonal varieties of produce.
Here, at the SKY Farmers Market not only do we have beautiful food but we also have some very talented artisans. We offer everything from funky tie dyed t-shirts to hand made pens and jewelry. One of the best features and benefits that are offered here is the ability to ask for custom works. I have done this in past years and had wonderful results. Specifically I had a shirt made…I picked out the style and requested the colors. The result…several people wanted to know what store I bought my designer shirt… Saks, Neiman’s or Barney’s…I proudly said SKY Farmers Market.
OVEN- BAKED CARROT FRIES
This is a super recipe for the kidos. Take advantage of the time to make some wonderful memories and develop their palates…who knows the world’s next James Beard Award winner might come from Bowling Green Ky. And from your kitchen mom.
1 1/2 pounds carrots (10 medium)
2T olive oil
2 tsp finely chopped fresh rosemary
1 tsp sugar
1/2 tsp salt
Pinch of pepper
Preheat oven to 425. Line the jelly-roll pan with aluminum foil
Using the sharp knife and cutting board, cut away the tip and end of each carrot. Place 1 carrot on the board and hold with with one hand. Holding the peeler in the other hand, run it over the carrot, always peeling away from you. Turn the carrot as needed to peel completely. Repeat with the other carrots. Using the sharp knife, cut 1 carrot in half crosswise. Next, cut each half in half lengthwise. Finally, cut each half in half lengthwise again. You will end up with 8 sticks from the carrot. Repeat with the other carrots.
In the mixing bowl, combine the carrot sticks, olive oil, rosemary, sugar, salt, and pepper. Stir with the rubber spatula until the carrot sticks are evenly coated with all the other ingredients.
Dump the carrots onto the foil-lined jelly-roll pan, scraping out any herbs clinging to the sides of the bowl. Spread the sticks out as much as possible. Bake until the carrots are tender and well browned, about 20 minutes. Using oven mitts, remove the pan from the oven. Serve the carrot fries hot or at room temperature
Makes 4 servings
CHOCOLATE MOUSSE
1 1/4 cups semisweet chocolate chips,
Or 8 ounces semisweet chocolate, chopped
2 cups heavy cream,
Well chilled
Fill the small saucepan half full of water. Choose a small, deep heatproof bowl that that fits snugly on the saucepan. Be sure the bottom of the bowl does not touch the water. Add the chocolate to the small bowl and set the whole thing (water-filled pan and bowl) over medium heat.
Heat the chocolate, stirring often with the wooden spoon, until it is melted, about 5 minutes. During that time, the water should simmer, not boil. Adjust the heat up or down as necessary.
Turn off the heat. Ask an adult to remove the bowl from the saucepan of water. Set the bowl aside to cool slightly.
Pour the cream into the large mixing bowl. Using the electric mixer set on medium speed, beat the cream until slightly thickened, about 30 seconds. Add the warm chocolate to the cream. Continue beating on medium speed, scraping down the sides of the bowl with the rubber spatula, until soft peaks form, about 1 minute. To test, turn off the mixer and lift the beaters. If the cream makes soft little peaks that flop over slightly, it is ready
Spoon the mousse into serving cups or glasses. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving
Makes 8 servings
TUESDAY MARKET TIME
These two recipes can easily be made with fresh local ingredients and if you happen to miss the opportunity on Saturday REMEMBER the Market is also open on Tuesdays. Sometimes Tuesday is an even better day because of the ease and convenience. The crowd is a bit smaller and you can still order your produce from ODaniel Farms and pick it up already bagged and tagged.
Lip Lickin’ Scones
will be available this Saturday. Allison Wiediger will have her world famous scones and artisan breads available. Yahoo! They are addictive so be careful. My dogs love them too but they also love the dog treats that are available at SKY. Peanut butter seems to be a favorite among the locals so get there early and let your four legged child choose a weeks supply of tasty treats.
And while they are picking out treats you can start eyeing the plants you have been thinking about planting all winter. Now is the time to start filling your raised beds and planters with beautiful herbs and plants. Because these plants are raised locally they will transition much easier and produce prettier, longer lasting blooms.
I have saved the best for last…. We will have a LIVE BAND at the Market on Saturday. My friend and yours DAN CROCKER has provided us with some talented artists who will be performing bluegrass hits. The Alley Cats will be performing so you better brush up on your Allison Krauss favorites and get a request list going. They will be FAB ! Be sure and bring the kids they are sure to love it.

This is a Capitol Arts Theater Show! We’re excited to see shows come back to the Capitol after a long hiatus.
LITTLE TEXAS was conceived in Nashville, Tennessee, by a handful of guys in their early 20s who were willing to do just about anything to bring their brand of rockin’ county to the forefront of the music industry. Known as “the hardest-working band in country music,” Their first radio release, “Some Guys Have All The Love,” became a Top-10 hit, as did their next single, “First Time For Everything.” After the album First Time For Everything was released, five singles reached the top of the charts. The second album, Big Time, truly was the big time for Little Texas. Today, Little Texas is back! The multi-platinum band’s four original members—Propes, Porter Howell (lead vocals and lead guitar), Dwayne O’Brien (vocals and rhythm guitars) and Del Gray (drums)—have rebuilt the franchise with a completely new sound. And with two recent albums under their collective musical belt, they couldn’t be happier to be back on tour and bringing fans what they do best.
A Sample: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mbH60wCO-Yw
LYNDSEY HIGHLANDER: Blue Eyes, Dark Hair, soothing falsettos, and a passion for life. That’s the first thing that hits you about Lyndsey Highlander, but wait till you see her perform… Lyndsey credits her sound to a passion for soulful sounds such as Bonnie Raitt, Pat Benetar and Aretha Franklin. However, if you ask Lyndsey who became the biggest inspiration to her music, without even a pause she will tell you how much Patsy Cline has influenced her spirit and her sound. With a supportive family in tow, Lyndsey went to chase out her dream in Nashville 7 years ago. Lyndsey’s massive sound and intimate story telling is coupled with her energetic stage presence and constant desire to engage the crowd.

Taxes are due Monday. We’ve found out that a lot of people thought the Tax Credits had gone away, but with the Fiscal Cliff deal that was in the news recently, the Federal Tax Credits came back – retroactively for 2012 and full year 2013. We discussed this a few weeks back but, it bares repeating. The best part about all the incentives that are out there, we do the paperwork for the home owners. These are Tax Credits, not deductions. They are Non-Refundable Tax Credits so the homeowner has to have income to apply it to and it has a lifetime dollar amount cap – so if they used it all on Capitol Windows and Doors they can’t use it again with Gra-Tac Heating and Cooling or vice-versa.
Here are some recent examples.
Furnace Replacement with Duct Repair:
Existing 67.0% AFUE
New 97.0% AFUE
Federal Tax Credit $(200.00)
Kentucky Tax Credit $(250.00)
TVA Duct Repair Incentive $(500.00)
Atmos Gas Furnace Incentive $(400.00)
Total Savings: $(1,350.00)
As well there are Gas Bill Savings every Winter Month… over $200 savings in a year.
Dual Fuel Residential Comfort System with Duct Repair & Floor Insulation:
Existing 9.00 SEER–80.0% AFUE
New 15.00 SEER-9.0 HSPF-96.1% AFUE
Floor Added R-19 Fiberglass Batts
Federal Tax Credit $(500.00)
Kentucky Tax Credit $(350.00)
TVA Heat Pump Incentive $(250.00)
TVA Duct Repair Incentive $(250.00)
Atmos Gas Furnace Incentive $(400.00)
Total Savings $(1,750.00)
As well with this system there are Electric and Gas Bill Savings… over $450 savings in a year.
Gra-Tac Heating and Cooling brings that experience and knowledge of the market that no other can to our area. That’s why we are excited to have them join as a partner of Buy Local Bowling Green and contribute this great info. We look forward to working with ‘Gra-Tac Heating & Cooling’ and hope you contact them when you need to make your home have the feeling of comfort every home deserves. Go check them out online or on facebook.

The “I Remember Her” 5K Run/Walk will take place at 8:30 a.m. on April 13 at Kereiakes Park. This inspirational event raises awareness of breast cancer, provides hope to all facing the disease and serves as a fundraiser for the Tabitha M. Briggs Memorial Scholarship, a College Heights Foundation Fund at WKU. Briggs was a WKU student who bravely fought breast cancer during her collegiate experience. The Franklin native succumbed to the disease in March 2005, nearly three months after earning her degree. Established in 2010 by Briggs’ sorority sisters and friends, the scholarship serves two purposes: keeping her memory alive through the gift of education and raising public awareness of breast cancer support and prevention through healthy living. More than 229,060 women and men in the United States will be diagnosed with invasive breast cancer this year, and more than 39,920 will die from the disease. The race also features a fundraising element.
Registration is $25 for run/walk participants and $15 for “in-spirit” participants. Registration is available online at http://www.onestoprace.com (use Event Search to find “I Remember Her”) and closes at 200 participants. Race shirts will not be available for those registering on or after March 29. For more information, call 678-314-7313 or email irememberher5k (at) gmail.com

This Sunday, from 2-4pm Lost River Cave will conduct Geocaching 101: Basic Use of a GPS Lecture: Participants will learn how to store coordinates, set-up waypoints, track mileage, and download/upload information for many basic units. Hands-on: participants will store event cache coordinates on their own and then find it.
This is all part of the education series they offer. Geocaching is a hot new sport that is attracting thousands of players. Geocaching is a high-tech treasure hunt using hand-held Global Positioning System receivers and a set of Latitude and Longitude coordinates. The Global Positioning System (GPS) enables people to locate a specific geographic position accurately—anywhere in the world—using a GPS receiver unit. Once a person has hidden a treasure (or “geocache”) and recorded the location, another player can locate the geocache using a GPS unit. The Geocaching 101 series classes will teach participants how to use a GPS receiver unit and how to successfully participate in the game. Bring your own GPS unit or share one during the event. This is a great opportunity for anyone interested in learning about the activity. Each 101 session will consist of 1 hour of class room learning and 1 hour of hands-on seeking. Geocaching is a wonderful activity for families and outdoor enthusiasts. Because of the various difficulty levels in geocache hunts, people of all abilities can find suitable challenges. Our Geocaching 101 class is designed for adults and children.

The game is tonight and the roster is set:
In conjunction with the Tampa Bay Rays, the Bowling Green Hot Rods announce the initial roster for 2013, the fifth season of Hot Rods baseball. The first crop of players to appear in a Hot Rods uniform this season features seven of Baseball America’s “Top 30 Rays Prospects” and Luke Maile, the first-ever Kentucky-native to play for the Hot Rods.
The Hot Rods once again feature some of the best talent in the Rays Minor League system. Pitchers Taylor Guerrieri (#3), Blake Snell (#9), Jeff Ames (#13), and Nick Sawyer (#30), as well as 3B Tyler Goeddel (#16), OF Andrew Toles (#19), and 3B/1B Patrick Leonard (#26) are considered by Baseball America as “Top 30 Rays Prospects.”
For the first time in team history, the Hot Rods will have a Kentucky native on the team’s roster. Edgewood’s Luke Maile will make his full-season debut with the Hot Rods in 2013 after being selected by the Rays in the eighth round of last June’s draft. After winning Kentucky’s “Mr. Baseball” in 2009 while at Covington Catholic, the catcher/first baseman excelled at the University of Kentucky for three seasons.
Nineteen players that helped the Hudson Valley Renegades win the 2012 New York-Penn League crown make-up the 2013 Hot Rods roster. The roster also features six returning players to Bowling Green. Tyler Goeddel made his professional debut with the Hot Rods in 2012 and returns to anchor third base. Pitchers Sean Bierman, Shay Crawford, Reinaldo Lopez, and Nick Sawyer, as well as utility man Ben Kline were all late season call-ups to Bowling Green in 2012.
Pitchers (13): Jeff Ames, Sean Bierman, Shay Crawford, Dylan Floro, Ryan Garton, Taylor Guerrieri, Brandon Henderson, Marcus Jensen, Reinaldo Lopez, Jose Molina, Eduar Quinonez, Nick Sawyer, Blake Snell
Catchers (3): Luke Maile, Justin O’Conner, Geoff Rowan
Infielders (6): Tommy Coyle, Ryan Dunn, Tyler Goeddel, Ben Kline, Patrick Leonard, Leonardo Reginatto
Outfielders (3): Marty Gantt, Joey Rickard, Andrew Toles

Namakubia and Camacho Triple Maduro Hand Rolled Cigars Arrive at Bowling Green Pipe and Cigar! Click
By Admin, BuyLocalBG.com, BuyLocalBg@gmail.com/
Friday, April 5th, 2013 12:00 PM CST
More cigars are rolling into Bowling Green Pipe and Cigar this week:
With it’s unique full flavored blend of five (5) extra fermented All Maduro tobaccos, the Camacho Triple Maduro is the result of a full years work of blending. The biggest challenge was to get these thick leaves to burn and taste right together. The look, feel, and undeniable richness of this cigar leaves anyone who smokes it totally enamored with the experience it provides. So, if you happen upon one of these cigars, please take your time to sit back, relax and know that this cigar was blended by one of the biggest fans of tobacco.
The new Room 101 Namakubi Ecuador is a fusion of wrapper and binder tobacco from a recent, highly rated Room101 release combined with the filler tobaccos of the original Namakubi line. The new Namakubi Ecuador comes packed in the original Namakubi boxes and utilizes a Samurai inspired outer wrapping for the diadema and perfecto shaped formats. The Room101 Namakubi is medium to full in body. Rated 92 points by Cigar Aficionado Insider.
Although in many ways long gone, Samurai culture is believed to live on in spirit within certain groups. In ancient times when two Samurai clans would gather for competition there was a great deal at stake. Normally, the losing party would die as a result of wounds sustained in battle or be executed upon defeat. The Namakubi, or freshly severed head of the losing party would be prepared on a wooden tray then tagged in a regimented manner and presented to the leader of the winning clan as a gift. We, as modern day samurai, present to you our own Namakubi.
Last week, we told you about the makers of Alec Bradley, the #1 Cigar maker in 2012 according to Cigar Aficionado, has produced an assortment of Handmade Honduran-Nicaraguan long filler cigars available at a great price! You can get a 5 pack of cigars from Bowling Green Pipe and Cigar for $20. The Alec Bradley Seconds, Easy 5, come in many sizes encased in a Connecticut, Habano or Maduro wrapper. These cigars will be sold as an assortment in a grab bag style of 5 sticks for the great low price. Alec Bradley sticks typically start at $5, at Bowling Green Pipe and Cigar they are selling you this Easy 5, long filler Honduran-Nicaraguan cigar at only $4 a stick. With a price this low this deal won’t last long so buy them today!
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.

Greetings to all of you wonderful foodies out there! Spring has officially arrived and we are getting ready for the beginning season of the SKY Farmer’s Market.
With opening week just around the corner, Saturday April 6th, mark the date on your calendars and get ready for some fresh fruits and veggies.
Your favorite farmers will be there as well as a few new additions. All in all there are 38 members of the SKY FARMERS MARKET that represent 12 counties. These are some of the best the region has to offer when it comes to quality of produce, diversity in offerings and creativity in hand crafted artisan creations.
Personally I am looking forward to decorating with fresh flowers and a natural bowl of fresh salad ingredients. Filling a platter full with farm fresh beets carrots and potatoes on the kitchen island always adds a great conversation starter to a party.
It never fails how some guest will notice the beautiful aromatic fragrance the produce gives. During the winter not so much…maybe the fruits and veggies bought during that season don’t smell as much because of the thousands of miles they traveled to get to my table (Maybe the transport truck smells really good)
This year will be a SPECIAL year for the SKY Farmers Market. We are celebrating the 10th Anniversary! Can you believe it? 10 years. My, how time flies when you’re having fun.
Every year the farmer’s market has grown and changed but it has never compromised on its integrity or quality. In fact some things just get better with age and you can certainly look at our wonderful market and see that is true.
Something you might not have seen last year was the 2,000 lbs of produce that was given to local charities after the market closed on Saturdays. Personally I wondered what happened to all of the beautiful carrots, potatoes and squash after the 12oçlock hour.
Thanks to the incredible insight and consideration of the leadership of the SKY Farmers Market there were several local people and families in need who benefitted from the philanthropy of your local farmers. This year will be no different.
These wonderful men and women who you have the pleasure of meeting face to face each week not only work hard to bring you the best their land has to offer but they ensure that there is a minimum of waste and the bounty is spread as far as possible to reach as many as possible.
To be honest, that has to be one of the reasons the food from our SKY Farmers Market tastes so good… the love that is put into growing, the careful thought into transport and the beautiful presentation… these all contribute to the quality produce and products.

If you are a business owner you’ve probably gotten the call already this morning. Or that lovely “pop-in” from a bank or credit card processing agent. Well, in Bowling Green we’ve been lucky we have a local group in town who works solely on referrals and has saved hundreds of local businesses thousands on their credit Card Processing.
With the new Durbin Amendment that was passed in Washington D.C. there has been a reduction in processing costs. With this Kentucky Card Payment Solutions has slashed many people’s bill around 30-45% with a simple review of your recent statement.
With the new amendment many of the current processors with Kentucky CPS will see an additional estimated $1,000 per year savings (that’s an average). If you own a business, it may be time to give them a call and see if you too can save money, dial 303-4982 and ask for Matt.

Michael Strautman’s been known around Bowling Green for great Jazz music. Many of our partners have sold his CDs. One of the CDs was reviewed and they called it, “Original jazz compositions with so many twists and turns…. you”ll never know what to expect next.”
Make plans to be at Hillvue Heights Church Next Sunday 6:30pm. A Concert that will both fulfill Michael Strautman’s Master’s degree requirements, and grow interest in Jazz Music in Bowling Green.

Ogalala Bay Rum soap is a great product. It has the wonderful scent that makes we want to stay in the shower longer, lathers up rich and creamy, and my girlfriend loves the smell. Now, it’s available at Classic Cuts and Shaves:
This may very well be one of the best smellin’ soaps you’ve ever used in your life!
As the company describes it: “This 8 fl oz attractive cobalt blue plastic bottle has a sprayer that, with a couple of pumps, will give your bathroom or any room in your house the fresh smell of one of our Genuine Ogallala Bay Rum fragrances. It’s also great for the car! All somewhat sweet and spicy…but not sissy! You’re gonna love this stuff!”
Just another offering that makes Classic Cuts and Shaves great. With three professionally trained barbers, FREE Wi-Fi, masculine decor and men’s products, they provide grooming services not found in a traditional hair salon. Classic Cuts and Shaves (Click Link to Fan Page) is a great place to get a shave and a hair cut. Also, to be more in touch with the buy local community, fan the page!

Parade leaves at 11:15 am through the community to the Harley Davidson Bowling Green store around 12:15 pm. Lunch provided and music from the Beaver for just $5 per peson. New this year! Silent and live auctions at the Harley store… bidding begins upon parade’s arrival and ends at 1:30 pm sharp!

The Grace’s Umbrella from Timesavers Concierge, Caregiving & Chauffer is a beautiful gift to Bowling Green. Grace’s Umbrella products were developed both from research and from the personal experiences of the Timesavers founders in assisting their own family members through difficult situations. The products are an integration of practical planning and the fact that information is most invaluable when it is coordinated and organized.
Grace’s Umbrella Preparedness Project
The comprehensive tool for gathering all pertinent information required when an emergency, accident or other crisis occurs. Important for all ages, but particularly for those at a stage of life during which information might begin to be lost, the Preparedness Project binder allows you to record all information on paper and includes a CD with PDF fillable forms if an electronic version of the information is preferred. GUPP also includes a Living Will/Advanced Health Care Directive and a Durable Power of Attorney recognized as legal in Kentucky, along with additional resources and helpful information.
Grace’s Umbrella Workbook
The Workbook is a condensed version of Grace’s Umbrella Preparedness Project. The Workbook is a paper format including forms which allow you to record the most essential information needed to be kept in one place. Forms include personal contacts, medical history and current status, including prescriptions, legal and financial information, and funeral and estate plans. Not as complete a record as the Preparedness Project, the Workbook nevertheless allows you to coordinate and integrate a large amount of vital information in one place. The Workbook can be purchased alone or with a CD with PDF fillable forms. The CD can also be purchased separately.
Check out their facebook page.We look forward to working with ‘Timesavers’ A great place to make your life easier.

With the wind and 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.

The smell of the food hits you as you walk through the door. It’s a warm feeling to see the hard working and friendly staff of Teresa’s Restaurant and Catering. Traditional American staples are served with love daily. The decor makes you feel the history of the place and of our beloved city of Bowling Green. There is not a thing we’d change with Teresa’s, especially now that they are a partner in our Buy Local Movement. Traditional American may be how many food sites will describe it but, we think it is very much a “Meat and 3″ establishment with their great choices of entree and sides.
We look forward to working with ‘Teresa’s Restaurant and Catering.’ Go check them out on Facebook. A great place to make your day better.

“Way down here you need a reason to move…..” was famously sung by James Taylor about Mexico. Well, tonight you have a shot at Lost River Pizza Co.’s Pint night to win a trip to Mexico. We could explain the details but Lost River made a great photo describing it:
For the beer lovers you will know about Oberon. One of the most loved drinks in Bowling Green from my experience. “Bell’s Oberon is a wheat ale fermented with Bell’s signature house ale yeast, mixing a spicy hop character with mildly fruity aromas. The addition of wheat malt lends a smooth mouthfeel, making it a classic summer beer.”
All the great wings, pizza and beer on draft make this THE place for watching the big games this week, hanging out with friends and family, seeing live music or winning a trip to Mexico. Including wall to wall TVs and a big screen in the middle of the restaurant. Make plans to join Lost River Pizza Co. soon.

Your bedroom is designed to be the most comfortable place in your home — somewhere for you to relax and settle down after a long, tiring day. In order for your bedroom to be a haven for rejuvenation, you should have an appropriate color scheme to set the mood and a wonderful Mattress from Just Bedding Mattress Outlet on Russellville Road. Offering Great Serta selections has made Just Bedding a must shop for those looking for a good nights sleep.
Recently, they gave us other tips for a good night’s sleep. The color scheme in your bedroom can transform the look and feel of your room and have a tremendous effect on improving your sleep.
It’s important to consider the various tone and shade of colors, because different colors produce different effects. You want to be sure the color you choose can improve your sleep and relaxation and avoid sleep anxiety and restlessness.
When choosing a color scheme consider the following:
Cool Colors: Cool colors are the best colors to create a relaxing, calm bedroom. The colors blue, violet and green make the atmosphere in your bedroom soothing. With blue resembling the sky and ocean and green resembling nature, these colors provide balance and serenity for a restful sleep. Cool colors promote a tranquil mood and are common bedroom colors.
Neutral Colors: Neutral colors are a safe choice for your bedroom. Beige, ivory, white and taupe provide less stimulation, giving your room a sense of peace. These neutral colors are simple and work well with bedroom furniture and decorations to create a comfortable living space.
Pastels: Pastel colors provide your bedroom with a calm, delicate feeling. With colors like lavender, powder blue, light pink and pale yellow, these soft shades provide a relaxing, serene atmosphere for your bedroom.
Bright Colors: Though fun and positive, bright colors are generally not recommended for your bedroom. Colors like red, orange and yellow are natural energy boosters. The boldness stimulates senses and becomes too overwhelming when trying to relax and go to sleep. Unless used in a light shade, it’s best to avoid these vibrant colors.
Remember, your bedroom should be a comfortable place to unwind and sleep, so choose a color scheme that helps you do so.
This bedroom uses soft, calming colors which can help promote better sleep, as well as an iComfort mattress from Serta.

A recent smile design by Destiny Dental

Wednesday, March 27th, 2013 7:00 AM CST
Dental implants sound kind of odd on the surface and are different than a smile design. Many people should consider a Dental Implant from Destiny Dental and some should not. There are three basic questions that people ask.
WHAT IS A DENTAL IMPLANT?
Dental implants are the most natural way to replace a missing tooth. Made of titanium metal, the implants are surgically embedded in the jawbone as a substitute that takes the place of a tooth root. Through a process called osseointegration, the bone grows around the implant, fusing the two together & providing a secure anchor for crowns, bridges or dentures.
WHAT IS THE PROCESS LIKE?
Before any work can be done, Destiny Dental must perform a thorough assessment of your medical & dental history, as well as a full-mouth examination, including specific x-rays. Then Doctor Robertson or Davis will then uses this information to map out a complete treatment plan. Once this is done, you’ll undergo local anesthesia & surgical insertion of titanium metal implants into the jawbone. After a period of healing, which varies according to type of implant & quality & quantity of bone, crowns, bridges or dentures can be firmly attached to the implant.
HOW MANY IMPLANTS SHOULD BE PLACED?
Many factors, such as quality & quantity of your bones, the existing anatomy of the bone & your financial budget must be taken into consideration during the treatment planning to determine the number of implants you should receive. To ensure lasting success, enough implants need to be placed to support the teeth, & the traditional ratio is one implant per tooth replaced. If the number of implants is limited in efforts to save the patient money, keep in mind implants that fail because there are not enough to securely hold the teeth in place can be even more costly in the long run. In these cases, instead of sacrificing the overall success of the procedure, we can avoid implant treatment altogether or alter the type of restoration according to the patient’s financial constraints.
Call Destiny Dental for more questions about Dental Implants or to see if you a can schedule an appointment. They are located at 1720 Destiny Lane and can be reached by phone at 842-3554. Don’t forget to fan them on facebook.

Disneyana, Classic Weird-Ohs and Vintage Children’s Books!
Some of the most collectible items can be found right now at Labold and Sons:
Testors Weird-Ohs- The Hawk Model Company was one of the first American manufacturers of injection-molded plastic model kits.One of Hawk’s best selling kit lines was the “Weird-ohs Car-icky-tures”, dragster and hot rod caricatures (along with the related “Frantics”, and “Silly Surfers” series), based on concepts and art created by their oft-used freelance illustrator Bill Campbell.
Classic Children’s Books– In 1932 the seemingly paradoxical term Big Little Book® was given to certain books published by the Whitman Publishing Company of Racine, Wisconsin. The term promised the buyer a great amount of reading material and pleasure (BIG) within a small and compact (LITTLE) book. These Whitman books set the standards for similar books, and Whitman’s copyrighted description has become popularized in a generic way to umbrella similar books.
Disneyana– Disneyana is a term for a wide variety of collectible toys, books, animation cels, theme-park souvenirs, ephemera and other items produced by The Walt Disney Company. Examples range from products featuring virtually every Disney character—such as Mickey Mouse, Tinker Bell and others—to vintage stock certificates and company checks bearing the signature of Walt Disney. Here are a few items at Labold’s:
Classic Mickey!
This Snow White is Beautiful!
The only Disney Movie not re-released in the USA. Classic and Hard to find!
Vintage Magic Kingdom!
Labold and Sons has really become a friend to the “Buy Local” community and over the next year we hope the city embraces their unique shop as they develop their concept. Located at 326 E. Main Ave. currently you can fan them on facebook.

Rob Baas is the kind home chef we love. He doesn’t sit around and wait for a restaurant to serve him great food, he goes out and achieves it by looking for great local ingredients. That’s why his Grilled Rack of Lamb from River Cottage Farm is so awesome. He went to the local farmer’s market and followed a recipe and voila:
First, head out to Community Farmer’s Market or Rian’s Fatted Calf Meat Shoppe and learn more about the local food. Then go fan Rob’s Grill. There you see what he’s up to plus he gives you the recipe like he did with this great dish. Local food tastes better, more so with the satisfaction of knowing you did it all by yourself!

Last year during the storms Booth Fire and Safety posted on Facebook: “Stay Safe South Central KY! If you haven’t already, time to get out the Weather Radio with fresh batteries, spare blankets, shoes, and clothes. Some fresh water is also nice. Prayers of safety to all going out now.” Well, we were spared in Warren County last year but are we more prepared for a storm if it should hit us in 2013?
Here are some great tips as we head in the crazy season of weather ahead:
Look & Listen for
…large hail, heavy rain, strong winds, frequent intense lightning
…bulge with a rotary motion at the base of the thunderstorm cloud …loud roar like the sound of a jet or train.
Seek Safe Shelter
A basement is best. Otherwise choose ground-floor center rooms surrounded by other rooms. Never choose upstairs locations because tornadic wind speeds increase with height above the ground.
Choose rooms on the north and east sides of your shelter if no interior rooms are available. Stay near the innermost walls. Avoid rooms on the south and west, because tornados usually travel from southwest to northeast.
Choose a small closet or bathroom, because small rooms are less susceptible to collapse. Take shelter within the bathtub if there are no glass tub enclosures or large mirrors nearby.
How to Protect Yourself and Your Family
Stay calm.
Seek shelter IMMEDIATELY!
Keep a portable TV/radio and flashlight in your shelter.
Wear shoes to protect your feet from broken glass and other debris left by the storm.
Protect head and chest- crouch, face to floor, hands behind head.
Cover yourself with blankets, pillows or coats.
Hide under sturdy furniture.
Avoid candles, gas lanterns and oil lamps.
In schools and offices: seek designated shelter in interior rooms or hallway’s on ground floor, or lowest floor possible.
Avoid auditoriums and gymnasiums. In shopping malls, seek the smaller interior shops on the ground floor.
In shopping centers, avoid large open rooms as well as the south and west walls.
Evacuate mobile homes and vehicles! Seek shelter in substantial structure, ditch or culvert.
Of course you can also call Booth Fire Safety and get a proper kit for the upcoming storms. 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.

There are a lot of things we think about when we decide to shop online for anything, more so for cigars, as there are a number of problems you most likely will encounter. We live in an area that has the one of the best Cigar shops in Kentucky and it’s almost unneeded to shop online for cigars. Sure we check out several of the online cigar sites for reviews and upcoming cigars from all the favorite brands. A lot of time, the sites just copy and paste the information from the cigar companies websites, but a few have real reviews from real cigar smokers.
All this said, no source on the internet is as good as Chris or Andrew who work in the industry daily. A personal opinion suited for what you are looking for. This, and a chance to feel and smell the product before you and then carry it out with you. This isn’t like buying a dishpan online. This is a product where professional advice and personal preference is best helped in person.
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.

There is an app on the iPad that allows you to take a picture of yourself. You then can try on different hairstyles and see which suits your liking. You can even redesign the surroundings in another app or even make yourself a cartoon. These apps seems cutting edge but, it’s actually a little behind the curve of Destiny Dental. Destiny Dental has been letting people design their smiles for a years.
All you have to do is set an appointment, go in and they go through a procedure to mock up how you want your smile to look, cosmetically. They do a mock up to place in your mouth for you to see first hand what you will look like. When you are satisfied they start the procedure to making you have the smile you always wanted. With the help of veneers, crowns and other cosmetic related materials they achieve the smile you want.
Many times they use Porcelain Veneers. They are thin shells of porcelain. They are similar to artificial nails and only cover the outer surface of the teeth. Only one millimeter of tooth structure is removed so the teeth will not look thick when the veneers are bonded to the teeth. They are very strong and may be used to straighten teeth as well as change the size, shape and shade of teeth.
A recent example, Before:
After:
Are you interested in having the smile you have always wanted? Call Destiny Dental for more questions or to see if they can help you turn heads every time you smile. They are located at 1720 Destiny Lane and can be reached by phone at 842-3554. Don’t forget to fan them on facebook.

The smell of the food hits you as you walk through the door. It’s a warm feeling to see the hard working and friendly staff of Teresa’s Restaurant and Catering. Traditional American staples are served with love daily. The decor makes you feel the history of the place and of our beloved city of Bowling Green. There is not a thing we’d change with Teresa’s, especially now that they are a partner in our Buy Local Movement. Traditional American may be how many food sites will describe it but, we think it is very much a “Meat and 3” establishment with their great choices of entree and sides.
We look forward to working with ‘Teresa’s Restaurant and Catering.’ Go check them out on Facebook. A great place to make your day better.

Many of Bowling Green’s gentlemen are rediscovering the use of a proper barber. One that gives a great shave and a haircut. When Classic Cuts and Shaves decided to move downtown it was a match made in heaven. Then this past month they added LAYRITE and Shiner Gold Pomade.
Shiner Gold is water soluble pomade specially formulated to hold firm like wax yet wash out like a gel. No more greasy cases or waxy flakes! Light, just right, coconut scented Gold comes in 4oz tins.
When it comes to the LAYRITE brand they carry two lines. Layrite Original Pomade , 4oz Can and The Layrite Super Hold Pomade , 4oz Can.
The Layrite Original Pomade was developed to replace the wax that greasers would use in the SoCal rockabilly scene, water-based Layrite pomade holds like a wax, but washes out like a gel! What other pomades call extreme hold, we just call original. The same formula greasers have been trusting for 10 years.
The Layrite Super Hold Pomade is just like their Original formula, but they were actually able to figure out how to add more hold. Developed to replace the wax that greasers would use in the SoCal rockabilly scene, water-based Layrite pomade holds like a wax, but washes out like a gel! What other pomades call mega-extreme hold, they just call super. The same formula greasers have been trusting for 10 years.
Just another offering that makes Classic Cuts and Shaves great. With three professionally trained barbers, FREE Wi-Fi, masculine decor and men’s products, they provide grooming services not found in a traditional hair salon. Classic Cuts and Shaves (Click Link to Fan Page) is a great place to get a shave and a hair cut. Also, to be more in touch with the buy local community, fan the page!

Either this is one of Bowling Green’s best kept secrets, or I was just the last to know about it. I visited for the first time this past winter when it was known as The Best of Shake Rag. The name has since changed but the staff did not completely turnover. The menu is still the same and the BBQ is still great.
It was easy to miss this small building while driving by over the winter, and with the new signage it stands out a lot better now. Consider this a carryout place if the weather conditions don’t permit patio dining because there are only three or four stools at the bar inside. More than once I’ve had to wait for people to leave before I could enter and place my order, and I’m not complaining.
The pork is hickory smoked out back and they might have the best sauce in the area. It is the same red tomato-based style that is so popular around here, and I think Third’s has the best combination of sweetness and tartness with just a hint of spiciness. The sides are good, too — everything seems just a little sweeter here. Beyond the BBQ, they are also popular for chicken wings and fried whiting & catfish.
Conveniently located in the Shake Rag district of downtown Bowling Green, it is just two blocks from the Medical Center & Graves Gilbert, one block from the 31-W ByPass, and three blocks from Louisville Rd. Now you know, so check it out.

Kentucky Card Payment Solutions is a locally operated merchant service provider. Many merchants in the local Bowling Green area have moved to this process provider for their local support staff and help they get. No longer waiting on the bank or out of town representative to return their calls, Kentucky CPS clients have been able to get help that day.
Not to mention great rates that help them save money on their processing which helps them to pass that savings to their customers. Need to find out more? Got to www.kentuckycps.com.

A blanket of snow may be pretty to look at, but what is it covering up? The harsh winter weather takes a toll on the exterior of homes and yards, while much of the damage and debris is hidden until spring. Once the snow melts and the moderate temperatures are upon us again, it is a good time to take a walk around the property. Grab your jacket, a clipboard if you’d like, and a pair of binoculars (you’ll see why in a minute) before heading out for your stroll. Below, we’ll discuss what to look for on your spring maintenance walkabout.
Start at the top
Your roof is the most abused part of your house during the winter. Don’t worry about climbing, though. Check for obvious things like leaks from the attic. Otherwise, take that pair of binoculars and see if anything looks amiss. Search for cracked, crooked or missing shingles. Nail pops usually are indicated by a shingle tab being pushed up by the head of the nail below. The shingle tab will give a slightly raised “eyebrow” appearance from below. Water is likely to seep around the raised nail. If anything looks damaged, it should be addressed.
Other things that should be checked are the gutters and chimney(s). A certified chimney sweep will not only clean out your chimney, but will ensure that the chimney caps, masonry and damper are in good working order.
All four sides
Is there any damage to your siding? Look all around the outside of your home, especially under the eaves and near gutter downspouts. Look for signs of water staining which will indicate a leak from above. For wood siding, check for popped nails and knot-holes. These and any other openings will only provide easy access for bugs and other pests that will want to move in.
For stonework and masonry, including foundations, look for cracks or missing pieces at the joints. Are there any signs of vegetation growing around the joints? That’s a sure indication of moisture getting in. If there are any signs of a white chalky deposit, known as efflorescence, it indicates that the masonry is absorbing water, rather than repelling it. Efflorescence does not necessarily indicate a structural problem and is mostly considered a cosmetic issue. If it is present, you may consider sealing the area with a clear waterproof barrier suited for masonry.
Take a glance at your windows for problems. The binoculars can come in handy for the attic windows. Is the glazing intact? Look for broken panes up high and repair them as soon as you can, before springtime wildlife decides to take advantage of the breech.
Your outdoor spaces
The freezing and thawing of water, as well as salt can be hard on driveways and sidewalks. Take a look and address any holes or cracks that have occurred. If you notice bigger problems like frost heaves, sink-holes and deep cracks, you may consider contacting a contractor. If your concrete looks to be in good shape, it still may be a good idea to apply a fresh coat of sealant to keep moisture at bay.
Any exposed wood outdoor structures like decks, privacy fencing and latticework should be inspected for damage. Look for warping, popped nails and loose boards. Does your deck only need a washing or is it time for stain/sealer?
Take a look at your shrubbery and trees. Remove any broken or fallen branches and allow for the new growth. It’s also good to note that during the early spring, while little has grown back yet, it’s the best time to plan any changes you like to make with your landscaping. Sketch things out now, so that when the warmer weather hits and the ground thaws, you are ready to start digging.

We love the book, ‘Grace’s Umbrella.’ It asks the questions you need to ask if you have an aging family member or you yourself are heading for the golden years. Timesavers is offering a Grace’s Unbrella class through Community Education’s Adult Enrichment program on Thursday, March 14 from 6-8 pm. One Of The Greatest Local Products For Your Family!Here is how it was best described by Timesavers Concierge, Caregiving & Chauffeur:
Grace’s Umbrella is a process formulated to help you navigate the difficult waters encountered with aging parents, spouses, or others for whom you might be providing care. So many areas must be addressed when a trauma, injury or noticeable decline occurs to someone you love—Timesavers can provide you with a method to coordinate the information necessary to address all areas, from medical to legal to social to family relationships to organization of important documents to lodging choices and meals and nutrition.
Timesavers creates a system through which you can anticipate and address all of the questions that might arise in the life of a family or caregiver. We provide a method to put everything under one umbrella, bringing you peace of mind. When the first phone call comes, you are prepared and calm, knowing you have a plan in place.
Timesavers can serve as your guide to coordinating the information and decisions necessary, or we can assist you in finding the right professionals to meet your needs. We are also happy to do much of the legwork and organization for you. Regardless of how you utilize our services, Timesavers has as its goal making your life simpler, your foundation for decisions stronger, and your information base complete.
When a call comes that a parent or other loved one has fallen or suffered a traumatic event, panic often ensues, particularly if you live away from your family member.
Grace’s Umbrella is the answer—using our plan will allow you to begin the process of answering all of the questions that might otherwise never seem to end, then know that your Umbrella is there when the rain comes. Don’t be caught unprepared when it is so simple to have peace of mind!
Check out their facebook page.We look forward to working with ‘Timesavers’ A great place to make your life easier. Class attendees receive Grace’s Umbrella materials and coaching at an enormously reduced cost – just the cost of the class – $8 for one person, $12 for two.

Audiences always enjoy watching their favorite literary characters come to life on stage, especially when seasoned with the wonderful humor of Mark Twain. Hank Morgan, a teenager who works on his school’s stage crew, is knocked out by a co-worker and finds himself transported back to the thrilling days of King Arthur, Queen Guenevere and the Knights and Ladies of the Round Table. Hank, who has been studying astronomy, predicts an eclipse of the sun and is hailed a great wizard. He is knighted “Sir Boss” and sets about modernizing Camelot, complete with telephones, bicycles and T-shirts. But the king’s wicked half-sister plots against Camelot, planning an invasion with her own army. How “Sir Boss” overcomes the evil plot and finds his way back to Hartford, Connecticut, provides fun and excitement for everyone.
March 14th-17th, 2013, Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays at 7pm and Sundays at 3pm. Adapted from the Mark Twain Classic By: Tim Kelly Directed By: Hannah Hadley.

If so, take a look at our member documents. We start inspecting all members in early to mid March in preparation for our mid-April Opening Day. When you decide to join, please remember your farm/business must be inspected before you sell at the market, so give us enough time to arrange that. Two or more weeks would be helpful. We’ll call you to arrange a time for the inspection of your farm/business.
Please read carefully through the market guidelines and, if applicable, the HB 391 regulations before filling out your application.
Also, if you intend to do sampling of your product(s), you will need to attend a session on the state’s sampling rules. Your county extension office can help you with locations where it will be held. Learn more about sampling from the new UK agricultural extension guide, Best Practices for Sampling at Farmers Markets.
We are governed by a board of directors that has a farmer majority and most staff work is done by volunteers. If you are interested in joining the market or if you have any questions, please contact us.

Audiences always enjoy watching their favorite literary characters come to life on stage, especially when seasoned with the wonderful humor of Mark Twain. Hank Morgan, a teenager who works on his school’s stage crew, is knocked out by a co-worker and finds himself transported back to the thrilling days of King Arthur, Queen Guenevere and the Knights and Ladies of the Round Table. Hank, who has been studying astronomy, predicts an eclipse of the sun and is hailed a great wizard. He is knighted “Sir Boss” and sets about modernizing Camelot, complete with telephones, bicycles and T-shirts. But the king’s wicked half-sister plots against Camelot, planning an invasion with her own army. How “Sir Boss” overcomes the evil plot and finds his way back to Hartford, Connecticut, provides fun and excitement for everyone.
March 7th-17th, 2013, Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays at 7pm and Sundays at 3pm. Adapted from the Mark Twain Classic By: Tim Kelly Directed By: Hannah Hadley.

There is one thing we’ve discovered around town. There are many places to get “massaged” but that doesn’t mean it will be good. There are few places you can find that can even compare to the service you get at MassageFIX. Most are not trained properly and let’s be frank, Melissa Strautman is the best of Bowling Green. MassageFIX employs only Licensed Massage Therapists who adhere to a strict code of professional ethics.
Here are three of the services they provide we would suggest.
The MassageFIX® Signature Massage: A customized massage incorporating a unique variety of modalities to soothe muscular tension. This is a great place to start for a first time massage with us. It allows you to have a full body relaxation massage with a therapeutic focus on your problem area. Always includes hot moist pacts to soften the muscles of your back and hot peppermint foot wraps.
Clinical Deep Tissue Therapy: An area-specific massage using advanced, detailed massage techniques to treat acute/chronic pain, muscle fatigue or injury. Highly skilled therapists utilize heat, ice, liniments, stones, stretches and percussion equipment as needed. Our Sports Blend Oil is infused with Eucalyptus, Wintergreen, Rosemary and Cajeput essential oils. This is not a relaxing or full body massage.
MassageFIX® Muscle Melt Down: MassageFIX® Muscle Melt Down Strip away every last ounce of tension from your type-A self with this unique Metamorphic Hot Stone treatment geared at “mush-a-fying” every muscle in your back. These aren’t your normal shiny, basalt-river stones found in most spas. These heavier stones have a high concentration of iron ore so they stay hotter, longer.
MassageFIX custom tailors every massage to fit the clients needs. They always use a hot table, hot packs (back), hot stones (back) and hot foot wraps in every Signature Massage. Owner Melissa, was trained in New York and worked in the exclusive Hamptons for several years with all the big names. They also do an intense Metamorphic Hot Stone Massage like no one else.
Check them out and fan them on facebook. There you can get a heads up on the next great service the provide. Like the East Hampton 4-Handed Massage!

A lot of people thought the Tax Credits had gone away, but with the Fiscal Cliff deal that was in the news recently, the Federal Tax Credits came back – retroactively for 2012 and full year 2013. We discussed this a few weeks back but, it bares repeating. The best part about all the incentives that are out there, we do the paperwork for the home owners. These are Tax Credits, not deductions. They are Non-Refundable Tax Credits so the homeowner has to have income to apply it to and it has a lifetime dollar amount cap – so if they used it all on Capitol Windows and Doors they can’t use it again with Gra-Tac Heating and Cooling or vice-versa.
Here are some recent examples.
Furnace Replacement with Duct Repair:
Existing 67.0% AFUE
New 97.0% AFUE
Federal Tax Credit $(200.00)
Kentucky Tax Credit $(250.00)
TVA Duct Repair Incentive $(500.00)
Atmos Gas Furnace Incentive $(400.00)
Total Savings: $(1,350.00)
As well there are Gas Bill Savings every Winter Month… over $200 savings in a year.
Dual Fuel Residential Comfort System with Duct Repair & Floor Insulation:
Existing 9.00 SEER–80.0% AFUE
New 15.00 SEER-9.0 HSPF-96.1% AFUE
Floor Added R-19 Fiberglass Batts
Federal Tax Credit $(500.00)
Kentucky Tax Credit $(350.00)
TVA Heat Pump Incentive $(250.00)
TVA Duct Repair Incentive $(250.00)
Atmos Gas Furnace Incentive $(400.00)
Total Savings $(1,750.00)
As well with this system there are Electric and Gas Bill Savings… over $450 savings in a year.
Gra-Tac Heating and Cooling brings that experience and knowledge of the market that no other can to our area. That’s why we are excited to have them join as a partner of Buy Local Bowling Green and contribute this great info. We look forward to working with ‘Gra-Tac Heating & Cooling’ and hope you contact them when you need to make your home have the feeling of comfort every home deserves.

We love the book, ‘Grace’s Umbrella.’ It asks the questions you need to ask if you have an aging family member or you yourself are heading for the golden years. Timesavers is offering a Grace’s Unbrella class through Community Education’s Adult Enrichment program on Thursday, March 14 from 6-8 pm. One Of The Greatest Local Products For Your Family!Here is how it was best described by Timesavers Concierge, Caregiving & Chauffeur:
Grace’s Umbrella is a process formulated to help you navigate the difficult waters encountered with aging parents, spouses, or others for whom you might be providing care. So many areas must be addressed when a trauma, injury or noticeable decline occurs to someone you love—Timesavers can provide you with a method to coordinate the information necessary to address all areas, from medical to legal to social to family relationships to organization of important documents to lodging choices and meals and nutrition.
Timesavers creates a system through which you can anticipate and address all of the questions that might arise in the life of a family or caregiver. We provide a method to put everything under one umbrella, bringing you peace of mind. When the first phone call comes, you are prepared and calm, knowing you have a plan in place.
Timesavers can serve as your guide to coordinating the information and decisions necessary, or we can assist you in finding the right professionals to meet your needs. We are also happy to do much of the legwork and organization for you. Regardless of how you utilize our services, Timesavers has as its goal making your life simpler, your foundation for decisions stronger, and your information base complete.
When a call comes that a parent or other loved one has fallen or suffered a traumatic event, panic often ensues, particularly if you live away from your family member.
Grace’s Umbrella is the answer—using our plan will allow you to begin the process of answering all of the questions that might otherwise never seem to end, then know that your Umbrella is there when the rain comes. Don’t be caught unprepared when it is so simple to have peace of mind!

Kentucky Folklife Program and the Department of Folk Studies and Anthropology are pleased to announce the Spring 2013 Pioneer Cabin Concert Series. This series will kick-off with two Old-Time Music Concerts featuring Tom Carter and Tom Sauber on February 27th and Alan Jabbour and Ken Perlman on March 3rd followed by a free lecture on old-time music by Alan and Ken, Monday, March 4th.
The Pioneer Cabin Concert Series is an ongoing series, which provides a venue for the university and Bowling Green community to enjoy traditional and roots music in the intimate atmosphere of the Pioneer Log Cabin on campus. Both Alan Jabbour and Tom Carter are prominent academic folklorist as well as notable old-time music performers active in the old-time music revival of the 1960s and 70s.
Banjo player, Tom Carter will team up with fiddle player and singer, Tom Sauber to perform in the Pioneer Cabin Concert on Wednesday, February 27th at 7pm. The two have been playing old time music together since the 1970s and are featured musicians in this year’s Nashville Old Time Stringband Associations’ Breaking Up Winter Gathering.
Fiddler Alan Jabbour and banjoist Ken Perlman present a program of Appalachian tunes, in a Pioneer Cabin Concert on Sunday, March 3rd at 3pm. Alan and Ken have redefined that great American invention, the fiddle-banjo duet, and brought it to new heights of complexity. Alan’s powerful fiddling style, with its syncopated bowing patterns and lyrical texture, is offset perfectly by Ken’s inspired approach to clawhammer banjo, which explores chord inversions, harmony lines, voice leading, note-for-note playing, and counter-melody. Their performances testify to the grace, beauty, and power of Appalachian music, and their joint CD, Southern Summits: 21 Duets for Fiddle and Banjo, has been widely reviewed as a benchmark old-time music recording.
Alan and Ken will also be giving a free lecture on old-time music on Monday, March 4th, Ivan Wilson Fine Arts Center, Rm. 249, at 4:00 pm.
Seating in the Pioneer Cabin is limited, reservations are required.
For concert details and reservation information please visit: http://www.wku.edu/folkstudies/cabin_concert_schedule.php

For a clean, fresh smelling home, let your carpet do the work with Grinstead Flooring and Furnishing’s Magic Fresh odor reducing carpet treatment. It’s completely safe and natural, plus it lasts for the life of your floor. It’s even self-renewing, meaning that it’s continuously working to rid your home of common household smells, like those from pets, cooking and smoking.
So how does it work? Well, it’s a lot like how an open box of baking soda absorbs odors in your refrigerator. When they come into contact with Magic Fresh, it breaks down the odor compounds and releases them back into the air as harmless and odorless carbon dioxide. The result is a cleaner smelling home without the use of air fresheners or deodorizers. All homes have odors. Even yours. The thing is, you’ve grown so accustomed to the essence of your home that you may not notice certain smells that others notice immediately. (Studies show 80% of adults surveyed reported this phenomenon.) With Magic Fresh, you’ll never worry about any of that again.
Independent laboratory tests prove the effectiveness of this remarkable odor reducing carpet treatment. Testing shows conclusively that pet urine and cigarette smoke on treated carpeting emit dramatically less odor compared to untreated carpets.
The beauty of Magic Fresh odor reducing carpet treatment is that it’s always at work and requires nothing of its owner. Magic Fresh will last for the life of your carpet – up to 10 years, or up to 5 hot professional extraction cleanings.
Call today for an estimate on your businesses flooring 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. Also fan them on facebook!

About the show: The movie follows two teenage students who attend a star party. While looking through the astronomer’s telescope, the students, along with the planetarium audience, explore Jupiter’s moons, Saturn’s rings, spiral structure of galaxies and how the largest observatories in the world use these telescopes to explore the mysteries of the universe. Together we learn telescopes work and how the telescope has helped us understand our place in space and how telescopes continue to expand our understanding of the universe.
Show times and dates are:
Tuesday, Feb. 26, 7 p.m.

The thing we love about these segments profiling the vendors at Community Farmer’s Market is that we get to see the entrepreneurial spirit and brilliance of the local market in action. People taking their dreams and with hard work start to fulfill it. Dolan Farms is our feature this week and Steve Dolan shares their story with us:
“Our family came to Bowling green in 2003 through a job transfer from central Alabama. My immediate family pretty much got out of farming during WWII. My mothers side were subsistence farmers and my dads side were sharecroppers. About the only farm exposure I got growing up was when we went to visit relatives that still lived on farms.
When we moved to Bowling Green I was hoping to find property that would allow me to somehow return to my families roots of agriculture. After we relocated and found a house, the property behind us came up for sale. after a couple of years we managed to purchase the parcel which is approx. 26 acres. As soon as the weather permitted I started to do fence work and field renovation and started with 5 steers. My initial intent was to just sell most of them to other folks that wanted beef and keep one for myself, but as I kept going, and learning I decided to try for more. I was selling steers outright to folks for stocking their freezers, when the recession started in 2009 I lost almost all of my customer base due to people relocating because of their job situations.
I had worked for GM and this is where all my customers were. Trying to replace my customers was proving to be much harder considering the economy. I had read about the Community Farmers Market in a newspaper article regarding the winter market. I went there on one Saturday, met Nathan Howell, and was immediately impressed by the open and free way that he provided information and by his encouragement.
I then went to my processor, Johns custom meats, in Smiths Grove, found out what I needed to do to be able to sell beef retail, direct to the public, which is completely different than selling a live beef cow to an individual.
As the spring rolled around I had my first steer processed for retail sale, which by law must be done under full USDA inspection, and came to the market in April and set up. Not being an outgoing person, I had very high anxiety levels at the beginning trying to communicate to people at the market what I was offering. The customers were very patient and extremely interested in learning as much as they could about what they were purchasing.
At this point I need to convey how important my processor (John’s Custom Meat) is. My beef is dry aged usually, 28 days. True dry aging is becoming a forgotten art when it comes to quality beef processing. John Rediess, is a 5th generation butcher who turns good beef into truly exceptional beef through his vast knowledge and experience, and Amy Sipes, cuts and packages my beef in sizes that are well received by customers.
As far as the market goes, it is truly a pleasure to be there on Saturdays. There is a sense of not only community, but of family too. I have never felt as if i am competing with the other two beef vendors, but hopefully complimenting them and their products to make our market the best for all our customers. The highest honor i could ever hope to receive is to be considered a farmer by the other more experienced lifetime farmers there.
One of the things i enjoy the most about market is when a customer makes eye contact, walks over and wants to tell me how they prepared the particular cut of beef they bought the week before. This is another thing that makes the relationships between vendors and customers more special. The fact that people are trusting me and other vendors to provide their families with quality, safe, and nutritious meats, vegetables, and produce speaks volumes. I am currently doing some moving of a fence corner to make room for Needs more Acres CSA use. I am offering approx. 2 acres for Nathan Howell to use for his CSA and to serve as a hands on classroom for me to learn some of his planting and growing techniques.
I hope and plan on being a member of community farmers market a long time, expanding my offerings into more vegetables and anything that might add value to the overall market experience.”

It’s time to dust off those running shoes this weekend and head to Park Mammoth Saturday. Sure it’s not in Warren County but, know many of you will want to go run with a group of other runners from Bowling Green.
Both courses are mostly trail with some road. The 5k has some gentle hills and a water station at the approximate halfway point. The 10k has some not-so-gentle hills! Both could be muddy, and the 10k is more challenging and technical than the 5k. Overall and age group awards will be given for both races!

When a heat pump looks like this, the heat transfer goes away and it definitely needs to defrost or it will cost you on your electric bill and your comfort level. The first thing to do is look at the unit in the next 30 minutes to an hour, if the ice or frost is gone – everything should be normal. Heat Pumps regularly freeze and thaw during normal operation, so seeing ice or frost on a heat pump is part of the normal process. If the ice doesn’t go away, is constantly formed in irregular frost patterns, or just keeps getting thicker (we have seen heat pumps covered in ice, several inches thick), it’s time to call an experienced HVAC Technician.
There are many causes for ice or frost on a heat pump. Some times it is just normal, the coil is below 32 degrees and the humidity level is high enough that you couldn’t stop ice from forming – but that is what the defrost controls are for. Other causes that should be immediately looked at by an HVAC Technician are:
There are corrective actions for each of these scenarios, that an experienced HVAC Technician can take care of. But some times it is better to just replace the system with a new one, like in this case.
This Trane XB13 Heat Pump is almost 30% more efficient than the Bryant Heat Pump (when it was new) that it is replacing. The Trane Heat Pump also has DEMAND DEFROST, where the older Bryant Heat Pump had a Timed Defrost. Demand Defrost is always better than Timed Defrost. Timed Defrost sees it is under 32 degrees outside and counts the run time from 30, 60, 90, and some times as high as 120 minutes of run time and then goes into defrost, clearing the coil. Every time a Heat Pump goes into Defrost, it switches to air conditioning mode, cooling the house down (not that much, because it brings on the electric heat or back up heat to keep the home warm – READ EXPENSIVE $$$) to clear the coil and start the cycle again.
For more questions about heat pump defrost or replacing your current heat pump with a new more efficient heat pump by Trane, call your local Trane Comfort Specialist Dealer.
Gra-Tac Heating and Cooling brings that experience and knowledge of the market that no other can to our area. That’s why we are excited to have them join as a partner of Buy Local Bowling Green and contribute this great info. We look forward to working with ‘Gra-Tac Heating & Cooling’ and hope you contact them when you need to make your home have the feeling of comfort every home deserves.

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.

Nathan has been farming since the day he was born. He was born onto a real, hard workin’, wake up to feed the pigs, cows, and break the ice on the pond farm in Hart County, Kentucky. He doesn’t remember a day where there wasn’t a job to be done alongside his dad on the farm. I was raised across the country in California, but always had a desire to settle in on a farm with a large family. So after ten years of marriage, many hopes and dreams (some of them came to reality, but most of them didn’t) and a lot of hard work and preparation this is the year. This is the year that we break free from what has been holding us back and step into the life we’ve been given.
There is this feeling in our culture that we can have it all. The job, the house, the kids, the hobby, endless time to do whatever we want, whenever we want. And maybe some people can find it, but we sure weren’t able to. Two years ago we were hurting. There was this life we wanted and these kids we were raising and we just couldn’t seem to make it work. Things got tough. We let the world come crashing in on us and it nearly left us wiped out.
*There were days when I couldn’t look my kids in the eyes because the regrets were so big.
*We would sit in silence hoping that someone would speak words of life, but they never did.
*We were working hard like a mouse on a wheel without accomplishing any of the things most important to us.
*The days, weeks, months and years were slipping away.
But as it almost always happens the hurting, hard days made us stronger. We came out on the other side ready to give it a try. There was nothing left to lose. We had the courage to say yes to what our hearts were trying to convince our minds to do.
The truth is the timing just wasn’t right back then. It’s been a process and I know it will continue to be. If we had followed this call on our life eight years ago (when I became a stay at home mom) or 5 years ago (when we decided to homeschool) or 4 years ago (when we started eating a local food diet) or 3 years ago (when we decided to have a homebirth) or two years ago (when we decided to help start a farmers market)…I guess you get the point. If we had started during any of those times in our life then our decision would have been all about us. We would have been proud of ourselves and thought we were more special than we really were. We would have missed out on the unique opportunity to see our community in a different way.
Had we dug into how we felt two years ago we would have sold everything, moved to a farm in the middle of nowhere, grown food to feed ourselves and a few others willing to seek us out. Now we know that wasn’t the calling for us. You may be reading this and feel that it is your calling to which we say “good for you”. Seriously. We are so happy and even slightly jealous for people who are called to live like that. We always thought it would be the way for us.
The truth is that we have been able to combine our past lives with our current ones in order to see this whole simple living, sustainability thing as something for everyone. It’s not all or nothing, not for most people anyway. The resources that are in place through the local school systems, health departments, universities, non-profits and organizations are complex, but important. We worked for them and have seen the ways that everyday people can find them useful and allow them to work for them. We’ve been able to become a common ground voice in order to make strides in connection for our community. We’ve been blessed to serve others and to be served in return.
It really starts with food. When my second child was born she was taken away and put in the warmer. I didn’t feel like a mother. There was something missing from the experience and I immediately felt as if her first days would be similar to my first child. I would be unable to feed her from my breast as I had hoped. Then something happened. She was unable to take a bottle. She had to breastfeed. This was the moment that the world began to look different for me. Nathan feels the same way. It was when we really began to examine how our decisions and everyday habits really matter. Life doesn’t just happen to us and we have the ability to make things better. No matter where we are or how far we have to come.
When it came time for Elizabeth to start eating solid foods I couldn’t help but ask myself “what foods are as good, wholesome and perfect as this milk my body has made for her”? Nathan was selling watermelons at a local farmers market and I began buying food from the farmers. Betsy & Steve, Thomas, Bobby. We began finding sources for milk, cheese, bread, and meats. This deep connection to my family sent me searching connection to my community through food. We began growing more and more of our own food with a desire to be able to share it with others.
When I held my daughter soon after birth I began to feel a connection to myself as a woman that I had never felt before. There was this strength within me that was completely new. When I became pregnant with my third child I started seeking other women who had choose to have a natural birth. I went into every conversation expecting to hear words of pain, fear and hardship. What was poured out to me instead were words of love, faith, strength, determination and hope. That was what I wanted to feel as I gave birth to our children.
When it became time for our fourth child to be born we chose to hire a certified midwife and give birth at home. Being low risk, informed and fully prepared allowed us to have a beautiful birth experience that our entire family shared. My hope is that our birth experience will leave a deep imprint on our children’s life allowing them to find grace and peace when they have children of their own. And I hope that it has also helped women in our community find what they have been looking for as they become mothers.
When I think about community these days I think about Jordan and Jackson who were recently married at Community Farmers Market surrounded by their family, old friends and new community of farmers and artists. I think of them because I see in them what we were searching for back when we got married. I’m thankful that they are finding it now and seeing it for what it really is. It’s hard work, but deeply rewarding. It takes a lot of work to live in community with others. Especially when that community represents such a diverse group of people with different backgrounds, interests and most importantly paths. Community is not about surrounding yourself with people just like you, but seeking to trust, understand and lift up those around you. It’s accepting others and allowing them to really know who you are so they have the chance to accept you in return. It’s messy and beautiful at the same time.
I’m thankful for the people that we have in our lives. Too many to name, living all over the world, and all called to different ways of living, but a blessing on us each and every day. I’m thankful for farmers who are willing to work really hard every day of the week for people who just buy a coupe of vegetables on Saturday or for those who buy almost all of their food locally. I’m thankful for the government that is full of real people with names and interests and most importantly have a sense of humor. I’m thankful for artists willing to pour their heart and soul into something and then share it with the world. I’m thankful for moms, dads and people who care about these babies being born into our world who will one day be making all of the decisions that we are making now.
Most of all I’m thankful for forgiveness. To those who watched us change, sometimes drastically and overnight, thank you for for patiently allowing (and forgiving when needed) our questioning, retreating, and even anger at times. It’s how we found the courage to do what we are doing now. It’s how we found patience, understanding and caring of each new person we encounter. We really don’t know what’s left in this life for us. Will we always Need More Acres? We just don’t know. But I do know that we hope to learn to love better, give more freely and more willingly accept those things from others.
“Growing up on a small tobacco farm in Central Kentucky, it seems I have always had Kentucky soil under my fingernails and in my veins. I have grown up knowing that the seeds of spring pay the bills of fall and all the hardships and joys that come in between. We small farmers choose to farm for the friendships, community, and an honest way of life. I left the family farm for higher education and spent 11 years of my life working for the horticulture department at the University of Kentucky. In those 11 years, I helped many small family farms fight to offset the income loss of tobacco with vegetable production. Some failed and some succeeded, but in helping these families across Kentucky, I have come to realize that farmers have a greater picture of life than just the bottom line of a business plan. They want to feel value in what they are doing and worthy of their spot in the world. Whether organic, conventional, or somewhere in between, all small farmers are seeing the same struggles of living out a dream of a sustainable way of life. This is where my passion for farmers markets and other local food production has grown. It’s a great way to connect consumers to producers of all kinds and neighbors are helping neighbors in what is a true profit margin.” Nathan
The traditional path we followed tells us that none of this make sense. How can we simply grow food and make a living? How can we do this on just 2 acres of land with no employees, or substantial equipment? And that’s when we look around and see all the significantly good things around us that when lined up and compared to what the world has for sale doesn’t make sense, but those good things are beautiful to us. So we step out on faith and believe that our community will take care of us as we commit to offering what we have as a gift to it.

Bowl For Kids’ Sake is Big Brothers Big Sisters of South Central Kentucky’s largest annual fundraising event, which provides half of our annual operating budget. During this fundraiser, approximately 2,000 individuals in our community turn out to bowl for the benefit of Big Brothers Big Sisters’ mentoring programs. Dollars raised at this event support local volunteer recruitment efforts, as well as provide professional staff who screen volunteers before they are matched, perform monthly monitoring of each match’s progress, and organize group events for both active matches and for those children still waiting to be matched.
The more money raised at Bowl For Kids’ Sake, the more children Big Brothers Big Sisters will be allowed to serve and inspire to reach their full potential through an ongoing relationship with a caring adult.

Buy Local Bowling Green Restaurant Review: Award Winning Traditional Wild Boar From Lost River Pizza Co.’s. Click
By Admin, BuyLocalBG.com, BuyLocalBg@gmail.com/
Friday, February 15th, 2013 1:00 PM CST
Pizza is a VERY subjective topic. Isn’t all food. Probably so but nothing seems to get people excited and passionate like pizza (BBQ is maybe the only other topic). That’s why there seems to be a pizza war going on in Bowling Green and I had to see what the fuss is with Lost River Pizza Co. and their Award Winning Traditional Wild Boar.
Most of our reviews will talk about atmosphere but we took this bad boy home. So let’s jump into it.
In most reviews we have an appetizer or we have a special drink a salad, not on this one. This one is all about the Pizza. We took these photos when we received it for pick up:
Visually the pizza does the taste little justice. It’s a good looking pizza, better tasting.
The Cheese just kept going and going. That’s some great Wisconsin Cheeses with great local ingredients to make the hot, sweet and flavorful pizza.
So, I got the pizza home and dished it out. First, the pizza only comes in 12 inch thin crust, which to me is perfect. Not to large and the crust compliments and doesn’t become the focal point of the pizza like some of the local chains new to town.
I went in with some mixed thoughts on the pizza. I heard rave reviews from many and some skeptical opinions on their pizza from others. Like I said, it’s a touchy topic. Well, in the first bite, I became a fan. It’s because I could taste that kick right away from Banana Peppers. Chef Andy explained to me his recipe for pickling the Banana Peppers come from his grandmother. Well, grandma knew what she was doing.
Then, if you get this pizza you will taste a sweet taste with the hot which is a great compliment. The cheese you could tell helped balance it but to us eating the pizza the real hero was O’Daniel Farms contribution to the pizza, nearly a pound of the O’Daniel Farms Sage Country Sausage. Do yourself a favor and just taste the sausage on it’s own. It’s brilliant.
The unique, Bowling Green toppings of Andy’s Grandmother’s pickling recipe for banana peppers and O’Daniels country sage sausage were baked on a made from scratch honey whole-wheat crust (no sugar). They drizzeled with local Kentucky honey (kicking up the sweet quation), smothered with their signature 5 cheese blend and Tillamook Cheddar and lightly seasond with coarse black pepper and sea salt.
TIP: When you go to other places for pizza, ask where they get their ingredients. At Lost River Pizza Co. they take the time making their pizza healthier and better with a dedication to fantastic ingredients. That’s one of the reasons this pizza works so well. It’s loyalty to local traditions that has world wide appeal pizza makes this a Bowling Green Original that must be tasted.
Overall: Can you see why this pizza won the “Best Traditional Pizza in the Southeast” and finished Top 10 in the world at this years International Pizza Challenge? The question remains, is this the best pizza in Bowling Green? Well, we’ve learned not to step into that fight. For a pizza with thin crust, sweet notes (but not overkill of sweet) with a warm kick and a remarkable blend of local ingredients we will continue ordering this bad boy if that tells you anything. The cost is $21.95 and it’s worth every penny.

We continue this week to get to know many of the vendor businesses at the Winter Market. Bald Man Markings is one of those and Derek Guyer’s story on how he started his business and his passion for life is one we enjoy. “I work in marriage ministry,” Derek said. “We are called by churches and families all over the country to help couples who are going through serious problems. To relieve some of the stress of the work, last January I began listening to scripture and drawing at the same time. I hadn’t seriously drawn in about 10 years. But, some really cool stuff started happening on paper and I was having fun. I needed the break mentally.
One evening I was decorating a frame for a picture I had sketched of a hawk and decided to see what the frame would look like with a leather feather hanging on it. (side note: long story short, I purchased about 700 lbs of scrap leather for $40 from an Amish leather worker near my home. I had no idea what I was going to do with it, but I thought his offer was incredible.) When I started cutting out the feather I accidentally nicked the leather and noticed a color change. So, I started playing and created a really cool looking feather. I started laughing at how life-like it looked and googled “engraving leather”. That’s when I found the idea to etch leather. When I saw the only other artist I’ve ever found who etches leather, I arrogantly thought, “I could do that.” I grabbed another piece of scrap leather and in twenty minutes had created an indian face that looked incredibly real. I couldn’t believe what I was seeing!
So, I started making pictures and one day I began posting them on Facebook. As soon as I did, a man sent me a message and asked for a price on one of them. I gave him a price and he bought it immediately. I couldn’t believe it.
I was then invited by two Community Farmers Market vendors to come share my etchings last summer. It has been a huge blessing for me and a wonderful place to share this gift God has given me. Since all of this started, I’ve sold custom leather etchings to people from California to Texas to Maine to Florida, and I’m now receiving inquiries from people in other countries as well.” Another great story of someone using their art, life and talents to better our Community Farmer’s Market and Bowling Green.

The SKY Farmers Market started in the summer of 2003 as a collaboration between farmers, business people, and other concerned people. We all wanted a place where local farmers could gather to market their products and Bowling Green’s citizens could gather to buy fresh, local produce.
We quickly decided that this market would be different by allowing only items grown or produced by the members to be sold. For our customers, it means that there is never a question where the produce is grown and the produce is always local and fresh – not “trucked in.” For the farmers, it means that there is never any competition with produce grown out-of-state or out-of-country.
We also wanted this market to be a place for social gatherings; a place where friends gather on Saturday mornings to visit over their weekly shopping.
It has been successful beyond our dreams! In 2010, we had 49 members representing 11 counties!
If so, take a look at our member documents. We start inspecting all members in early to mid March in preparation for our mid-April Opening Day. When you decide to join, please remember your farm/business must be inspected before you sell at the market, so give us enough time to arrange that. Two or more weeks would be helpful. We’ll call you to arrange a time for the inspection of your farm/business.
Please read carefully through the market guidelines and, if applicable, the HB 391 regulations before filling out your application.
Also, if you intend to do sampling of your product(s), you will need to attend a session on the state’s sampling rules. Your county extension office can help you with locations where it will be held. Learn more about sampling from the new UK agricultural extension guide, Best Practices for Sampling at Farmers Markets.
We are governed by a board of directors that has a farmer majority and most staff work is done by volunteers. If you are interested in joining the market or if you have any questions, please contact us.

Included in the requirements in barber schools are some of the same requirements which hairdressers study, like basics of perming and coloring hair. However, the most important area of training for barbers includes an additional 300 hours of training specific to hair cutting and clipper work as well as techniques for using shears. In addition to using hot lather for neck shaves, barbers are required to learn the fourteen steps of the straight razor facial shave-a dying art that is considered a hallmark of the profession. It’s the polar opposite of the everyday ‘cut and go’ haircut at the big chains.
Some barbers still offer the traditional hot lather shave using a single blade razor. I can’t think of anything more relaxing for a male than multiple hot steam towels and someone else doing the shaving, not to mention the awesome facial massage some barbers also include!
While hairdressers occasionally use an attachment called a ‘clipper guard’ for most of the hair cutting work, barbers will use a clipper blade-big difference! On the other hand, the basic training for the hairdresser/cosmetologist is geared more toward female clients, with the focus on coloring, perming and styling. These services are not of interest to most men.
A word of caution guys: if you go into on of the ‘big chain’ unisex salons and ask for a ‘number two,’ she just might reach for a clipper guard, which has far more spacing between the ‘cutting teeth’ leaving some hair longer than others, and longer than the Barber’s number two blade would (less spacing between the cutting teeth), which will leave your hair exactly one quarter-inch long. It’s a big difference if you want a tight clipper cut.
There are many different types of barber shops out there from which to choose, depending on the you want and the service desired as well as the preference of a male or female barber. So, next time you see the familiar red, white and blue striped pole, stop in and rediscover the barber.
Classic Cuts and Shaves (Click Link to Fan Page) is a great place to get a shave and a hair cut. Also, to be more in touch with the buy local community, fan the page!

When you buy your candles on the square you should feel good knowing they are triple scented and contain 10% fragrance no matter the size of the candle. That means they are 6 times stronger than your typical commercial candles (no matter the cost of the candle). Oh and about those flowers and chocolates we talked about in the title? For that reason they offer great scents of flowers..and chocolates.
Remember, Candle Makers On The Square also engraves any size jar as well. A great gift for Valentine’s Day!
Candle Maker’s is for lovers and who doesn’t love a candle. Make sure you get on their email list and check their facebook page out.

Werner Lowe has a great collection of jewelry ready for your Valentine with the John Medeiros Jewelry Collection. The John Medeiros line was introduced in 2000 after having worked in the jewelry industry for many years. As a child of European immigrants trying to make a living in Providence, Rhode Island, once the international capital of costume jewelry production, John Medeiros worked after school in the precious metals industry while still in school.
In 1984 John Medeiros founded Tahoe Jewelry, providing the precious metals jewelry industry with intricate polishing and stone setting services during the day, while at night he was working on what would become the John Medeiros line—real jewelry hand crafted from non-precious metals.

This Sunday from 2-4pm Lost River Cave will offer Geocaching 101: Introduction to Geocaching Lecture: What is Geocaching? Learn the history of GPS, Navigation and Caching. Learn the types of Caches, including traditional, travel bugs, geocoins, signature items and Earthcaches. Find out what you need to Geocache. Hands-on: Participants will venture out on the Park to learn how to Geocache and the proper etiquette.
This is all part of the education series they offer. Geocaching is a hot new sport that is attracting thousands of players. Geocaching is a high-tech treasure hunt using hand-held Global Positioning System receivers and a set of Latitude and Longitude coordinates. The Global Positioning System (GPS) enables people to locate a specific geographic position accurately—anywhere in the world—using a GPS receiver unit. Once a person has hidden a treasure (or “geocache”) and recorded the location, another player can locate the geocache using a GPS unit. The Geocaching 101 series classes will teach participants how to use a GPS receiver unit and how to successfully participate in the game. Bring your own GPS unit or share one during the event. This is a great opportunity for anyone interested in learning about the activity. Each 101 session will consist of 1 hour of class room learning and 1 hour of hands-on seeking. Geocaching is a wonderful activity for families and outdoor enthusiasts. Because of the various difficulty levels in geocache hunts, people of all abilities can find suitable challenges. Our Geocaching 101 class is designed for adults and children.

Each year on the first Friday in February, thousands of the nation’s dentists and their dental team members provide free oral health care services to children from low-income families across the country. Destiny Dental has been an active participant from the very beginning of this program which is designed to deliver full dental care to children who ‘fall through the cracks”. The ADA’s Give Kids A Smile® program enhances the oral health of large numbers of needy children. Give Kids A Smile activities also highlight for policy makers the ongoing challenges that low-income families face in finding dental care. These kids come from families with no dental insurance or third party coverage, such as medicaid. It also has grown with the downswing in our economy and sadly, trips to the dentist usually suffers when the family finances grow tight.
In eight years, through this activity, Destiny Dental has been able to provide preventive and restorative dental care to 100+ children, totaling over $86,000.00 in donated dental services. “I enjoy participating in Give Kids A Smile Day because it makes me feel good to provide needed dental care to underserved children in our area. The smiles and hugs you receive from the children make you feel very fortunate to be able to use your professional abilities to enhance their lives” says Dr. Gina Davis. Not only does this treatment help kids looking great with a fresh smile, it also helps them keep in school. “The reason most kids miss school is because of tooth decay, it’s largely ignored and it doesn’t have to be that way. In fact it’s the #1 reason kids miss school,” says Dr. Steve Robertson.
The last two years Destiny Dental has helped on average 28children per year. This is up from previous years. “I enjoy participating in Give Kids A Smile Day because it makes me feel good to provide needed dental care to underserved children in our area. The smiles and hugs you receive from the children make you feel very fortunate to be able to use your professional abilities to enhance their lives” says Dianna Embry Destiny’s Office Manager and Hygienist.
Destiny Dental would like the community for their support to help them give back to the community in this project. Destiny Dental is located at 1720 Destiny Lane and can be reached by phone at 842-3554. Don’t forget to fan them on facebook.

Before I, your humble publisher, moved to Bowling Green, Kentucky I lived in Alabama, Maysville and Lexington Kentucky as well as my birthplace in Southern California. One thing most transplant Californians to Bowling Green are always looking for is a good Mexican restaurant or someone who can make a good tamale or other Mexican culinary delight. Even in a recent magazine that touted Mexican food as “America’s Favorite Food” they said Mexican food lacked the most in Central Kentucky. Well, maybe they realized South Central Kentucky had a great option with the arrival of “Tamales by Amanda.” Coming from Texas Amanda knew how to make a Tamale, “I started making tamales years ago in Texas. All the siblings gather a few days before Christmas and we make up a huge batch for the holidays. My stepmother taught me how to roll them. I spent some time selling illegal tamales on Craigslist to make ends meet, next thing I knew I had repeat customers, and people were being referred to me by friends.”
Then, Amanda got a reprieve, “I kicked around the idea of the farmer’s market as soon as we found out we were moving to Kentucky, but never could seem to make everything fall into place. Last fall a friend who hosts a co-op group for bulk buying said the words “Let’s do a tamale co-op” We had an open house at her place and a ton of people stopped by to try them.” We love many ideas for local businesses start with friends talking.
“We went through about 30 dozen that night and I all the sudden had a ton of orders. I knew Michelle through babynet and asked her what I needed to do to become a vendor. She was ridiculously patient with me while I was trying to find a commercial kitchen and get my permits in place. I started at the market on Dec 8th, and everyone was so welcoming! Customers were asking where my restaurant was and at the time I didn’t even have a table cloth! I had quite a few people tell me I needed to talk to Josh at Home Cafe. I took him samples and Tamale Tuesday was born!”
Chicken Tamales!

From Chef Josh Poling:
It’s Burger Night featuring the free labor burger:
When I was in my internship for culinary school I worked at a restaurant with amazing food and amazing ingredients. However, most of the food was expensive so I could eat three things: a grilled cheese, a piece (one piece) of fried chicken, or what would come to be known as the Free Labor Burger. If it weren’t so good, I probably would have been upset!

Public Theater of Kentucky Mainstage Theater Presents: Cat on a Hot Tin Roof By: Tennessee Williams Directed by: Jeff Beard In a plantation house, a family celebrates the sixty-fifth birthday of Big Daddy, as they sentimentally dub him. The mood is somber, despite the festivities, because a number of evils poison the gaiety: greed, sins of the past and desperate, clawing hopes for the future spar with one another as the knowledge that Big Daddy is dying slowly makes the rounds. Maggie, Big Daddy’s daughter-in-law, wants to give him the news that she’s finally become pregnant by Big Daddy’s favorite son, Brick, but Brick won’t cooperate in Maggie’s plans and prefers to stay in a mild alcoholic haze the entire length of his visit.
Maggie has her own interests at heart in wanting to become pregnant, of course, but she also wants to make amends to Brick for an error in judgment that nearly cost her her marriage. Swarming around Maggie and Brick are their intrusive, conniving relatives, all eager to see Maggie put in her place and Brick tumbled from his position of most-beloved son. By evening’s end, Maggie’s ingenuity, fortitude and passion will set things right, and Brick’s love for his father, never before expressed, will retrieve him from his path of destruction and return him, helplessly, to Maggie’s loving arms.

A lot of people thought the Tax Credits had gone away, but with the Fiscal Cliff deal that was in the news recently, the Federal Tax Credits came back – retroactively for 2012 and full year 2013. The best part about all the incentives that are out there, we do the paperwork for the home owners. These are Tax Credits, not deductions. They are Non-Refundable Tax Credits so the homeowner has to have income to apply it to and it has a lifetime dollar amount cap – so if they used it all on Capitol Windows and Doors they can’t use it again with Gra-Tac Heating and Cooling or vice-versa.
Here are some recent examples.
Furnace Replacement with Duct Repair:
Existing 67.0% AFUE
New 97.0% AFUE
Federal Tax Credit $(200.00)
Kentucky Tax Credit $(250.00)
TVA Duct Repair Incentive $(500.00)
Atmos Gas Furnace Incentive $(400.00)
Total Savings: $(1,350.00)
As well there are Gas Bill Savings every Winter Month… over $200 savings in a year.
Dual Fuel Residential Comfort System with Duct Repair & Floor Insulation:
Existing 9.00 SEER–80.0% AFUE
New 15.00 SEER-9.0 HSPF-96.1% AFUE
Floor Added R-19 Fiberglass Batts
Federal Tax Credit $(500.00)
Kentucky Tax Credit $(350.00)
TVA Heat Pump Incentive $(250.00)
TVA Duct Repair Incentive $(250.00)
Atmos Gas Furnace Incentive $(400.00)
Total Savings $(1,750.00)
As well with this system there are Electric and Gas Bill Savings… over $450 savings in a year.
Gra-Tac Heating and Cooling brings that experience and knowledge of the market that no other can to our area. That’s why we are excited to have them join as a partner of Buy Local Bowling Green and contribute this great info. We look forward to working with ‘Gra-Tac Heating & Cooling’ and hope you contact them when you need to make your home have the feeling of comfort every home deserves.

Two things you notice right away at Soho Nails and PediSpa on Scottsville road is how great everyone looks coming out of the salon and secondly, how sanitary and clean they keep the salon. When you walk in you feel the atmosphere of “girls day out” and sometimes you even see a princess party where girls of all ages (for those preteens and teen) celebrate their birthdays. This is the time of year it’s great to treat a loved one or even yourself with a treatment.
At Soho they help to capture the tranquility while enhancing your natural beauty. That is why they’ve created a serene, relaxing and fun atmosphere that cares for the total you. When we say they are clean it’s also a nod that they treat their customer’s health and safety in top priority with the use of innovative pipeless spa chairs and sterilized instruments.
No matter if it’s a Acrylic, Acrygel, Forever French or UV Light Gel nails, Soho Nails will strive to give you the look you want. Of course they offer waxings, manicures and pedicures with this full service spa. We suggest in indulging in the Soho Specialty Treat. First hands are soak in aroma salt rock, nails are groomed followed by Soho aroma sugar scrub. Then enjoy a deep massage oil with Tea Tree. Peppermint and Eucalyptus, paraffin dip, exfoliated and hydrated expertly applied polish is the finishing touch.
Soho’s environment encourages mental relaxation at every price, so forget your troubles with the soothing spa music and journey into a world of indulgence. Bowing Green’s finest will do the rest. Located at 1751 Scottsville Road next to Party 1 Superstore. Open 7 days a week you can reach them by phone at 746.0621.

These and other questions were on the minds of Mandy and Sheri, two active moms, on the pivotal morning of an important soccer match. The kids needed nutrition and lots of energy to win the game, but they wanted good taste too. Forcing down bland packets of plain ol’ instant oats wasn’t tasty, but it was great inspiration…
So after the game, Mandy and Sheri trekked into the kitchen with the kids to find the secret to a healthy, quick, and mobile breakfast for active people everywhere.
Only the best ingredients, from whole rolled oats to the care only moms can provide, go into our products. It’s so good you might even want to slow down, sit down, and savor it!
So, a natural Oatmeal created by Soccer Moms? How could you go wrong? Plus, they now have ‘Not Guilty’:
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.

Mark Nizer is the first performer to incorporate 3D technology into a live show and you can see it live at The SKYPac Saturday at 7:30pm. The audience wears a special type of 3D glasses that converts Mark’s unique 3D live performance into a 4th dimension! His original idea combines interactive video with live performance bringing both out into the room. Lasers jump out over the audience, so close you think you can touch them. Two robots perform onstage, one live, one on video, yet both in 3D. Neon balls play live music while creating a unique 3D world that changes with each note. Don’t miss the combination of original comedy, world class juggling, movement, music and technology that promises a spellbinding evening.
The phrase “Nothing Less Than Brilliant” (Performance Magazine) has been used to describe the outrageous comedy antics and expertly crafted juggling feats of Mark Nizer.
