THE DERBY’S DURABLE TRADITIONEvery year on the first
Saturday in May, the world
turns its attention to the
twin spires of Churchill
Downs for the high-stakes
anticipation of “the most
exciting two minutes in
sports.” From the iconic
garland of roses awaiting the
champion in the winner’s
circle to the mint juleps,
the Kentucky Derby is an
American sporting event
with unmatched history,
tradition,
and pag-
eantry. Over
its 140-year history, the
Kentucky Derby has earned
international acclaim as the
greatest horse race in the
world while maintaining
a strong sense of regional
identity.
In The Kentucky Derby:
How the Run for the Roses
Became America’s Premier
Sporting Event (University
Press of Kentucky, $19.95,
www.kentuckypress.com),
winner of both the Kentucky
Literary Award for Non-
fiction and a Kentucky
History Award, James C.
Nicholson offers a look at
the evolution of the Derby
as well as its international,
national, and regional
importance. He details the
Derby’s existence as an
intersection of past traditions
and contemporary culture,
for both Kentuckians and
Americans, and examines
the historical, political,
and cultural significance of
horse racing’s most famous
event. Few festivals and
gatherings have main-
tained such a delicate
balance between exuberant
glamour and local approach-
ability as the Kentucky
Derby.
The first Kentucky
Derby was run in 1875 with
nearly 10,000 curious and
enthusiastic spectators.
Fashionable ladies and gentle-
men sat in the grandstand,
parasols dotted the club-
house veranda, and wagons
carrying locals from all
walks of life crowded the
infield. Little did they know
they were about to wit-
ness history in the making.
The Derby has remained
relevant to changing
American attitudes and
cultures and has become
the brightest jewel of the
Triple Crown. Nicholson,
who grew up on a
Thoroughbred farm in
Lexington, calls this great
tradition to post, offering
readers a rail-side seat to
the most exciting 140 years
in horse racing history.

BackupgeneratorbasicsWhen severe weather hits, I want to be prepared, and I’m considering purchasing a backup generator for my home. What types would you recommend to take care of the entire house?—Jon H.
JAMESDULLEY
Backup generators won’t reduce
your utility bills. But if you are
concerned about the possible
effects of an extended power
outage, there are options. Portable
gasoline or diesel powered backup
generators, available at most home
improvement stores, can provide
enough electricity to operate essential
items such as refrigerators, freezers,
and computers. You’ll need outdoor-
rated, heavy-duty extension cords to
plug them into the generator’s outlets.
And you’ll need to go outside to shut
the generator off and let it cool down
each time you need to add fresh fuel,
then restart it.
If you want a simpler (but more
expensive) way to keep almost every-
thing in your house powered up,
then a permanently installed backup
generator is a better choice. Typically
fueled by natural gas or LP gas, this
kind of backup power supply feeds
electricity directly into your home’s
wiring system. You’ll have power not
just for plug-in appliances but also
for your furnace, central air-condi-
tioning, water heater, sump pump,
and more. Installing a whole-house
backup generator is not a do-it-
yourself project–you’ll need to hire
a properly trained and licensed
contractor.

CleanGreenSmall things you can do to make a big
impact in your home and community—from
cleaning with natural products to being
careful what you pour down the drain
BY GRAHAM SHELBY • PHOTOS BY JIM BATTLES
LEGENDARY KENTUCKY WRITER AND CON-SERVATIONIST WENDELL BERRY ONCE SAID HE DOESN’T LIKE THE TERM “ENVIRON-MENT.” In a 2011 interview, Berry said, “We need
to stop talking about ‘the environment’ and start
talking about places we call by name…Nobody ever
called their home place ‘the environment.’”
As it turns out, the places we call home—our
houses, yards, and neighborhoods—need just as
much attention as the atmosphere or the oceans.
There are also plenty of relatively easy steps we can
take to preserve them—and ourselves.

“Sustainability” has become a buzzword in the
corporate world. When you look at Web sites of lead-
ing Kentucky businesses like Yum! Brands, Toyota
Motor Manufacturing, and Papa John’s, you’ll find
pages discussing their sustainable business practices.
Even so, the concept of integrating concern for the
natural world into daily life, by using fewer resources
and having a low impact, makes as much sense in a
household kitchen as it does in a corporate suite.
One prime area of concern is that the chemicals
used in many farm and household products can cause
potential harm to people, animals, and plants. Two of
the biggest causes for chemical concern are nitro-
gen, which is found in fertilizers, and phosphorus, an
ingredient in many household cleaning agents.
When nitrogen and phosphorus enter your water
system in too high a concentration, the result can be
toxic. Drinking water that’s overloaded with these and
other chemicals can lead to rashes, respiratory trou-
bles, stomach problems, and more. The health dangers
are more severe for small children. Even if you’re not
putting these or other chemicals into your own water,
if they go down your drain, they can end up in other
people’s drinking water or in their food through live-
stock or game that drink contaminated water.
Cindy Shepherd decided she didn’t want any part
of this and started making her own cleaners from
nontoxic ingredients. She and her husband, Randy,
live near Oneida in Clay County and are members of
Jackson Energy Cooperative.
1 cup of water
1 tsp Dr. Bronner’s liquid, all-purpose Castile soap
5 drops eucalyptus oil
5 drops lemon essential oil

Bible stories, myths, Shakespeare,
and even the legends of King Arthur
and his Knights of the Round Table.
And had she lived in these parts, she
would have been able to experience
the latter story come to life at Round
Table Literary Park.
Surrounded by a thick grove of
trees on the campus of Hopkinsville
Community College is King Arthur’s
Sword in the Stone and a 22,000-
pound replica of King Arthur’s Round
Table. But that’s not all. Visitors
also find a sculpture of Melpomene,
the Greek Muse of tragedy; a par-
tial medieval wall; and the Delphian
Tholos, which is the historical Greek
sanctuary of the goddess Athena and
site of the Oracle of Delphi.
The Round Table Literary Park was
created from an endowment in honor
of HCC faculty emeritus Frances G.
Thomas, who taught English and cre-
ative writing from the college’s inau-
gural year in 1965 until her retirement
in 1996. The park and its Greco-Roman
amphitheater are the venue for the
annual Round Table Literary Awards
and the unveiling of the college’s The
Round Table literary magazine.
Kentucky’s literary sites spark
exactly the variety of clever, well-
informed conversation Miss Elliot so
cherishes in good company.
And as Persuasion’s William Elliot
notes: “that is not good company,
that is the best.” KL

THE JANE AUSTEN FESTIVAL, typically held the third weekend of July, will not be held in 2015 due to Jane Austen Society of North America’s annual general meeting, to be held at Locust Grove in October. The festival will be back in 2016 with its lineup of an Austen author, Regency style show, Regency Empo-rium, and afternoon tea, plus workshops and a Grand Ball. The festival is open to all; mem-bership in the national society is not required.

Tick,tick,tickAvoid tick-borne illnesses during the summer and year-roundDR.DEREKFORSTER
The Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention suggest that these and other
tick-borne illnesses may be prevented by
avoiding areas where ticks are concen-
trated, such as dense woods and bushy
areas. When you are outside—especially in
a wooded area—use insect repellents that
contain DEET, a chemical that repels ticks
and other biting insects such as mosquitoes,
fleas, and chiggers. Wear long pants, long-
sleeved shirts, and socks, and always check
yourself for ticks after outdoor activity.

Fruit snacking tipSlices of fruit like apples or bananas turn brown after a while
because oxygen in the air reacts with
chemicals in the fruit and break down the
fruit. If you squeeze a little bit of lemon
juice on your fruit, the vitamin C from the
lemon can slow down the browning so you
will have a fresh and tasty snack.
May flowersFlowers are appreciated for their appearance and their scent. Growing your own flowers from seeds is a fun project that rewards you for caring for them over time.
