Tree removal on Star Shoot and Pink Pigeon Parkway
Lexington Sixth District Council Member Angela Evans recently commented on tree removal on Star Shoot and Pink Pigeon Parkway. “My office has received a number of calls about the trees that were removed along Star Shoot and Pink Pigeon Parkway due to the Emerald Ash Boar, which has affected hundreds of trees across the city,” Evans said in a statement. “There has been a fair amount of confusion about their removal and questions about their replacement so I would
like to provide you with more information. Although the city did intervene to assist in their removal as a courtesy to the property owners (due to the large number of trees that needed to be removed at that time throughout Lexington) trees in the right–of- way outside of New Circle road, by ordinance, are not maintained by the city. Therefore, it is not the city’s responsibility to plant, maintain or replace trees in this area. They were originally planted by the property owners, who provided well and above the number of trees
that were required for this development. Those who have felt the loss of these trees, have done so, in large part, because they were once so abundant. I have been speaking with the property managers for Hamburg Place and they are planning their replacements, but do not have a set date at this time. The beauty of this road is important to them and I have been assured that the trees will be replaced.” Council Member Evans will share more info with the neighborhood as it becomes available.

Ramped Up! These spring treasures won’t be around long! BY TOM YATES
Ramps are the fleeting darlings of the early spring farmers’ market. With a very short three to four week growing season, they’re usually the first thing to arrive at the market and the first to go. Blink and they’re gone. Members of the allium genus, ramps are also referred to as wild onions, wild leeks, or wild garlic. With feathery leafy tops and long purplish stems, they have a pronounced garlic aroma with a strong onion flavor, making them interchangeable with both garlic and onions in most recipes. If you run across ramps at the market, catch them while you can. I got lucky. Red River Farm had buckets of gorgeous ramps at the Lexington Farmers’ Market. Even with their beautiful leafy tops fluttering in the morning breeze, most of the people in line were buying eggs and bacon. I filled my bag with ramps. I toyed with the notion of tossing the ramps over burning coals to char before serving them on newspaper like Spanish colcotes (early spring green onions) with a ruddy Romesco sauce.In the end, I went with a very simple spring soup. Chilled Ramp Soup with Blackened Sea Scallops. Typically, ramps are a bear to clean. They’re usually covered in crud and take time to prep. Because they stored them in buckets of water to keep them fresh, the ramps from Red River Farm were almost pre-prepped and ready to go. I simply snipped the roots from the bulbs and gave them a quick rinse. After slicing the greens from the stems, I set them aside before roughly chopping the stems and bulbs. After heating a skillet over a medium high flame, I sauteed the ramp stems in a combination of olive oil and butter. When they started to caramelize, I deglazed the pan with 1/2 white wine, let it reduce by half, and added 2 cups chicken stock. I brought the stock to a boil, reduced the heat, and added 2 peeled and chopped Elmwood Stock Farm new potatoes. While the potatoes simmered away in the ramp stock, I blanched the ramp greens along with a handful of fresh spinach (in heavily salted water)
for exactly 45 seconds before plunging them into a salted ice-water bath. When the potatoes were tender, I scooped them into a blender along with the cooked ramps, stock, and drained greens. After adding 1/4 cup parmigiano reggiano cheese, a splash of fresh lemon juice, salt, and white pepper, I blitzed the soup into a verdant puree before sliding it into the refrigerator to chill. I wanted the scallops to have bite. To counter and play off of the delicate spring ramps. I slid a small cast iron skillet over a blazing hot flame. When it started to smoke, I added a whisper of oil to the pan, dredged the dried scallops in cajun seasonings, blackened them on each side for 90 seconds, scooped them out of the smoky mess, and set them aside. I ladled the chilled ramp soup into shallow bowls and nestled the blackened scallops into the center of each bowl before topping them with slivers of mango, red bell pepper, and shallots. After scattering Garey Farms micro mizzuna and arugula over the scallops, I finished with a few drops extra virgin olive oil. Simple. Bright. Light. Fabulous. Although gloomy and overcast on opening day last year, the atmosphere at the market was upbeat and lively. Everyone was simply happy to be there. Vendors, shoppers, musicians, babies, and dogs all embraced opening day knowing there was a fabulous growing season ahead. The farmers’ market was back in business! There was an abundance of gorgeous early cool weather lettuces, herbs, tomato plants, and flowers. A few vendors offered out-of-state selections of tomatoes, corn, cabbages, yellow squash and strawberries. We usually make a couple of rounds through the market before actually purchasing anything. Not on the first day though. We were caught up in the excitement of being there, surrounded by fresh lush greenery. We started our trek down the center aisle of the Pavilion. It was early. Early enough to score a dozen brown organic eggs from Elmwood Stock Farm before they ran out. They always run out. Next to Elmwood Stock, a Boyle County farm offered dew dripping red and green leaf

UK researcher purports massage therapy benefits for back pain BY ELIZABETH ADAMS University of Kentucky Family and Community Medicine researcher William Elder and collaborators at Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis have published a study supporting the application of clinical massage therapy to alleviate lower back pain in primary care clinics. The results from the Kentucky Pain Research and Outcomes Study appeared in the March edition of the journal Pain Medicine. The researchers tested the
effectiveness of massage therapy intervention to reduce pain and disability and improve quality of life in patients with chronic lower back pain. Kentucky primary care physicians referred patients with chronic lower back pain to a licensed community massage therapist, and study participants were evaluated after 12 weeks and after 10 massage therapy sessions, as well as at a 24-month follow-up appointment. At 12 weeks through the intervention, 75 percent of participants experienced improvement
in physical and cognitive measures. The study also showed participants experienced meaningful improvement at the 24-week time point. In addition, the study showed that adults 49 and older benefited from massage therapy more than younger adults. Elder said the results fill in a gap of medical literature showing the real-world effects of massage therapy as an alternative to pharmacologic therapies for lower back pain. “Our study generated convincing evi-
New study at Markey center proves one lung cancer subtype can switch to another BY ALLISON PERRY
A new study co-authored by a researcher starting her laboratory at the University of Kentucky Markey Cancer Center shows that in certain genetic situations, one non-small cell lung cancer subtype can change into another subtype. This lung cancer ‘lineage switching’ could underlie resistance to therapeutics, and this research examines exactly how the lineage switch can happen. The work was a collaborative effort between laboratories in Kentucky, New York and Boston. Previously, it was unclear which cells in the adult lung can be the ‘cells-of-origin’ of the two major subtypes of non-small cell lung cancer, namely adenocarcinoma and squamous cell carcinoma. Likewise, it was unclear what differences in DNA organization define the two distinct lung cancer subtypes. The existence of adenosquamous lung tumors, clinically defined by the presence of both glandular adenocarcinoma lesions and fully stratified squamous lesions within the same tumor, suggested that both adenocarcinomas and squamous cell carcinomas could come from the same cells in the lung, but clear evidence for this theory was lacking.
Published in Nature Communications, the study showed that adenocarcinoma cells can change to squamous cells due to reorganization of their DNA in specific ways. Beginning with a mouse model of adenosquamous lung tumors, researchers validated the genetics by comparing it to human adenosquamous lung tumor – the genetics are often the same, including activation of the oncogene KRAS and the deletion of the tumor suppressor Lkb1. The team then used transplant assays to demonstrate that established adenocarcinoma tumors could transition to squamous cell carcinomas in the mouse lung. Lastly, the group isolated different lung cells, and demonstrated that only certain lung cells could give rise to tumors capable of undergoing the lineage switch. “This data is exciting because it shows which cells in the lung can give rise to adenosquamous tumors,” said study co-author Christine Fillmore Brainson, assistant professor in the UK department of toxicology and cancer biology. “And the technique we used to transform the isolated cells can be applied to many lung cancer models.” Oncologists have observed this ‘lineage switching’ after the failure of EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitor treatment, when
it is clinically justifiable to take a second biopsy. However, second biopsies are not normally done after chemotherapy, a practice that Brainson thinks could be revised to understand the exact mechanisms of therapy resistance. “Now that we have a glimpse into the molecular mechanism of lineage switching, we can begin to learn how to manipulate this phenomenon for better therapeutic outcomes,” said Brainson. In addition to Brainson, the manuscript was co-authored by Haikuo Zhang of the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute in Boston. The research was a collaborative effort between the laboratories of Carla Kim at Boston Children’s Hospital, where Brainson was based for her post-doctoral studies, Hideo Watanabe at Icahn School of Medicine in New York, and Dr. Kwok-Kin Wong at Pearlmutter Cancer Center in New York. This work was funded in part by the American Cancer Society, the Lung Cancer Research Foundation, the V Foundation for Cancer Research, the March of Dimes, the National Cancer Institute, the Gross-Loh Family Fund for Lung Cancer Research and Susan Spooner Family Lung Cancer Research Fund at the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute.
dence that massage may be used as a beneficial therapy for sufferers of lower back pain,” Elder said. “With a high prevalence of lower back pain across the nation, our study responds to the need for effective complementary therapies that can be disseminated through a primary care setting.” Elder collaborated with co-author Niki Munk, a licensed massage therapists and health sciences researcher at the University of Indiana-Purdue University Indianapolis.
Plant sale scheduled to benefit Cardinal Hill Therapy Garden The Fayette County Extension Master Gardener’s Therapy Gardening Committee has announced that it will host a plant sale to raise funds for the therapy gardening program at Cardinal Hill Rehabilitation Hospital. Scheduled for Thursday, May 25 from 10 a.m. to 2:30 p.m., the sale will be held in the hospital’s Grow Again Garden at the Mason Headley Road entrance to the facility. The sale will be held rain or shine. Master Gardener volunteers have been working through the winter to grow plants for the sale from seed and expect to have Kentucky natives, perennials, annuals, and specialty herbs and vegetables available at prices ranging from $2 to $10. All proceeds from the sale will support the therapeutic Grow Again Garden and will be used to purchase supplies and fund educational programs. The therapy gardening program at Cardinal Hill began in 2007 with a grant from the Junior League of Lexington to build raised beds and purchase gardening supplies. Involved from the beginning, Fayette County Extension Master Gardeners have worked with patients and staff to provide a space that can be used for occupational and physical therapy while serving as a demonstration site for accessible gardening. In 2015 the Therapy Garden program received a HANDS Award from the Kentucky Hospital Association. In addition to providing hands-on rehabilitation opportunities, the Grow Again Garden is a haven for wildlife and pollinators, including butterflies and hummingbirds.

UK awarded $11.2 million grant to launch new center for cancer and metabolism The University of Kentucky was recently awarded a prestigious Centers of Biomedical Research Excellence (COBRE) grant to study the metabolism of cancer from the National Institutes of General Medical Sciences, part of the National Institutes of Health. The $11.2 million grant will fund UK’s Center for Cancer and Metabolism over the next five years. Kentucky has disproportionately high incidences of both cancer and metabolic disorders – our state leads the nation in cancer deaths and is in the top 10 for highest obesity rates in the country. While scientists have long known of a direct link between obesity and cancer, the need for further research into this field is a necessity for Kentuckians. Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, an advocate of the 21st Century Cures Act, contacted NIH Director Francis S. Collins on behalf of UK’s grant application. “In an effort to improve healthcare access and outcomes for my constituents, UK has long made a priority of undertaking important research specific to Kentucky and the Appalachian region,” Senator McConnell said. “Over the years, UK and its Markey Cancer Center have developed one of the strongest cancer research, prevention and treatment programs in the country, as demonstrated by the Center’s 2013 NIH National Cancer Institute designation, which I was proud to support. I was also pleased to assist UK in securing this competitive grant to advance and strengthen this critical health research for Kentucky by enabling advanced research focusing on the development of novel therapies for cancer treatment.” Kentucky Congressman Andy Barr echoed McConnell’s sentiments, noting that support and funding for innovative cancer research remains a priority. “The awarding of this competitive grant is a recognition of the University of Kentucky as a national leader in biomedical research,” said Congressman Barr. “I have consistently supported the National Institutes of Health because these investments not only contribute to our local communities and institutions, they will improve and even save lives by advancing new treatments and cures. I am confident the health care services provided by the NCI-designated Markey Cancer Center and the research done by UK scientists funded by this grant will help us to find better ways to fight cancer, which will benefit patients and families in Kentucky and around the world.” UK’s Center for Cancer and Metabolism (CCM) capitalizes on highly specialized institutional strengths in cancer and advanced metabolomics tools to focus on
the underlying mechanisms that link dysfunctional metabolism to cancer. Recent studies have shown that the metabolic powerhouse of cells – the mitochondria -– can influence how aggressive a cancer becomes. UK has internationally renowned experts in the field of cancer and metabolism, and new state-of-the-art technology has improved the ability to understand how metabolism impacts cancer. “As the University for Kentucky, we are uniquely positioned to conduct this level of sophisticated research thanks to the presence of a diverse array of biomedical researchers, clinicians and our leading academic medical center,” said UK President Eli Capilouto. “Research and development is at the core of economic and human development, and it is why UK is Kentucky’s most instrumental change agent, health provider and economic engine. The progress we make offers the brightest future and best hope for Kentucky.” The CCM will bring together highly complementary disciplinary strengths at UK in cancer, metabolism and data sciences, coupled with sophisticated metabolomics tools and advanced cancer imaging capabilities, to strengthen the university’s cancer research enterprise by providing a thematically focused multidisciplinary infrastructure dedicated to defining the role of metabolism in the development and treatment of cancer. “Research is at the heart of any progress we hope to make in bridging health gaps in the Commonwealth,” said Lisa Cassis, UK vice president for research. “Increased funding opportunities through the 21st Century Cures Act, and in particular this COBRE focused on cancer and metabolism, will enable the university to foster the development of the next generation of scientists who will lead our efforts in translating basic research findings into promising new therapies.” COBRE grants also use this platform to develop promising early-stage investigators with enhanced skillsets in exciting new areas of cancer research and to enhance their success in competing for NIH grant support. The grant promotes collaborative, interactive efforts among researchers with complementary backgrounds, skills and expertise. The CCM is co-led by program directors Daret St. Clair, professor and James Graham Brown Foundation Endowed Chair in the UK department of toxicology and cancer biology, and Peter Zhou, professor in the UK department of molecular and cellular biochemistry.
