WHAT’S COOKING AT
BYRD’S PLACE?

Throughout 1 7 years on the job, Ida Byrd has seen
five presidents come and go through Maxwell Place

By Rebecca Neal
STAFF WRITER

Ida Byrd smiled and held out a
crystal serving dish. topped with a lace
(10in and warm cookies.

“Would you like a cookie?“ she
asked.

Fresh oatmeal cookies are ready for
any student who knocks on the door of
the UK president‘s house. Maxwell
Place. President Lee Todd and his wife.
Patsy. started the tradition almost two
years ago. Byrd. Maxwell Place‘s cook
of 17 years. bakes six dozen cookies
every week to keep up with the demand.

“They just love them." Byrd said of
students' reactions to her cookies.

It‘s not just the cookies that make
her special v Patsy Todd said Maxwell
Place would not be the same without
“Mrs. Ida."

“She is the epitome of perfection."
Todd said.

Mrs. Ida

Though the Todds are UK‘s first
family. Patsy Todd was quick to point
out who is really in charge at Maxwell
Place.

“I always say. ‘Mrs. Ida Byrd is al-
ways the word.‘ She‘s the queen of
Maxwell Place - I‘m not." she said.

She said Byrd. who has worked at
Maxwell Place through five adminis»
trations. is a reassuring presence. espe-
cially when things get hectic.

“She is just wonderful to be with.
When you‘re with her. you know every-
thing is always going to be just fine."
she said.

Byrd had equal praise for Patsy
and Lee Todd.

“The Todds are easy to cook and
work for." Byrd said.

Shy and quiet. Byrd isn't one to
brag or talk much about herself. but
former residents of Maxwell Place say
Byrd is an invaluable part of the house.

”Whether she's dealing with stu
dents. faculty. major donors or
whomever. she treats them all well."
said former President (‘harles Wething
ton.

Byrd always Works to make every

one feel at home. said Kelley Bozeman
of UK public relations. who frequently
visits Maxwell Place.

“She told me once. ‘Everyone
should feel special.‘ and that’s how she
does her work." Bozeman said.

She said Byrd is never concerned
about making herself look. good or at-
tracting attention.

“Whatever she's doing is always for
someone else. It's not about her 5— it‘s
about us." Bozeman said.

Patsy Todd said Byrd‘s attitude and
spirit is representative of Maxwell
Place's staff.-

“Everyone works together and it's
the only way to meet the demands of
this job." she said.

The staff members don‘t just work
together but have fun too.

Byrd and other staff at Maxwell
Place surprised the Todds when they
were in Atlanta for the SEC basketball
tournament in 2002.

“We looked up and the van door
next to us opened and out came Mrs.
Ida and the Maxwell Place staff." she
said.

The staff had driven from Ken-
tucky to Atlanta and spent the rest of
the trip with the Todds.

‘Like a second mom'

The family's move to Maxwell
Place nearly two years ago wasn't easy.
said the Todds' son. Troy. He said Byrd
helped the family adjust to the new rou-
tine.

"It just wouldn‘t have been as good
an experience without Ida we’re
lucky to have her." he said.

Troy Todd said that. from the fami-
ly‘s first day. Ida has been more than
just a Maxwell Place employee.

“She‘s much more than someone
who takes care of the house she adds
a personal touch to everything." he
said.

He said he hopes Ida doesn‘t retire
any titne soon.

"She‘s been domg her job there for
so long that she's like a second mom or
aunt." he said.

Like any family. the staff and the
Todds don't hesitate to help each other

out. Patsy Todd said she and four of the
staffers at Maxwell Place even trade
clothes. Byrd loaned her a dress for a
dance once. she said.

“My husband bought me a fur coat.
and I said that all four of us may have
fur coats." Todd said.

Byrd's Place

Patsy Todd said one of the best
things about life at Maxwell Place is
enjoying Byrd's cooking. Byrd goes out
of her way to make special dishes for
guests. she said.

"She makes lemon meringue pie
for my dad and she used to make it for
the late Lucille Little." Patsy Todd said.

She said it would be impossible to
choose a favorite dish.

“Her side items are wonderful. and
her mandarin orange salad is just uti-
helievably good." Patsy Todd said.

“She makes a mean spaghetti and
good fisli too," Troy Todd said.

\l.‘ethington agreed that it‘s almost
impossible to choose a favorite dish.

Fathrnrer: Some students take pills with ephedra
despite risk of heart disease, stroke or even death

31mm

STAFF WRITER

Elementary education senior Alli Moore has tak-
en products containing ephedra —— a controversial
stimulant that increases one’s blood pressure and
heart rate — since her senior year of high school.

She prefers Hydroxycut, a heavily marketed fat-
burner available in drugstores and health food atom
across the nation. She usually takes one serving each
morning, but sometimes takes it in the evening if she
needs an energy boost

“Only recently have I become aware of the risks,”
said Moore, who has lost about 15 pounds from using
the pills. “(But) it gives me energy it keeps me awake
inclassand it decreases myappetite. Ifiguneit‘ ithas-
n’t killed me by now after five years of taking it, then I
am willing to take the risk because the results have
been so good.”

Ephedra-containing fat-burning supplements
have enjoyed a rise in popularity in recent years de-
spite concerns about its safety. The FDA estimates
that 12 million Americans use diet pills that contain
the herbal supplement, making it a $3 billion
industry

In February, prominent health retailer General
Nutrition Centers pulled all of its own products con-
taining ephedra off shelves.

Some companies anticipated such a move, accord-
ing to a report in the San Diego Tribune. Twinlab
Corp, the maker of Ripped Fuel and Metabolift, plans
to switch to supplements without ephedra as of March
31. EA.S., a manufacturer of sports supplements, an-
nounced a similar move in January

The NCAA, NFL, minor league baseball and Inter-
national Olympic Committee already ban ephedra,
which has been linked to heatstroke and heart trouble,
according to espn.com. '

President Bush’s administration began building a
case for a possible ban in June by proposing strong
new warning labels that the substance can cause heart
attacks and strokes or even death. Such labels, blocked

She said the football
players were not the only
ones consuming large quan-
tities of food.

"I think my husband
personally ate a gallon of ice

Byrd said it was like the

seen food before.

"Dr. Todd told Guy (Mor-

until now by the dietary sup-
plement industry: could be on
every bottle by year‘s end. the
espncom report said.

According to Geza
Bruckner. :1 professor of
Clinical Nutrition and Nutri»
tional Sciences at UK.
ephedra stimulates blood
flow and constricts small
blood vessels. These actions
generally raise blood pres-
sure. he said.

“Most studies that have
looked at ephedra alone have

not shown consistent weight
reduction." he said. “Other
studies combining ephedra
and caffeine have been more
effective."
Ephedra is under attack.
A nationwide backlash
against ephedra erupted be-
cause of its involvement in
the February death from
heatstroke of Baltimore Ori-
oles pitcher Steve Bechler.
This doesn‘t bode well
for the supplement industry.
particularly in light of the
Food and Drug Administra—
tion's announcement that it
had received nearly 100 re-
ports of people who had died
from ephedra-related causes.
People need to be cau-
tious when taking products

containing ephedra, Bruckn-
er said.

“In studies where it was
given for several months. no
detrimental effects were not-
ed.“ Bruckner said. “Howev-
er. the sample size was small.
People should be better edu~
cated on the use of these
products. I think the people
selling them should be
trained and licensed so that
they can point out the poten—
tial benefits and the risks.

"1 would not recommend
taking ephedra or any
ephedra-containing com-
pounds for weight manage-
ment of athletic perfor-
mance.“ he said.

Computer science senior
Justin Davis knows the dan-

gers personally. He said he ex-
perienced side effects, includ-
ing heart palpitations and
dizziness, when he took Xe-
nadrine in high school to pre
pare for league basketball. “It
scared me to death." he said.
“I regret risking my health
for cosmetic purposes. This is
a substance that needs to be
regulated." he said.

Despite the risk. Moore
isn‘t worried enough to quit.

“I do plan on continuing
taking pills with ephedra if I
can find them," she said. “I
would definitely recommend
it. I believe that it is my right
to take a risk by taking these
pills. In my opinion, it is
worth the chance because of
the results I have gotten.”

ed athletes and coaches from
all sports. President Lee Todd

and Patsy Todd. Bill Keightly
and the master of cere-
monies. none other than the
“voice of the Wildcats." Tom
Leach.

The evening was filled
with glitz and glamour. mak-
ing it seem as if a little bit of
Hollywood had come to the
Bluegrass. Though some of
UK's biggest stars like Tubby
Smith and Keith Bogans were
absent from the ceremonies.
future Detroit Lion Artose
Pinner made a special appear
ance to accept two awards:
play of the year and shared
male athlete of the year with
Keith Bogans.

“This awards was defi-
nitely a team award. I could
n't do it by myself." Pinner
said of accepting male athlete

Fish Tank presents soap box derby

A race to the bottom: 'Fish Tank 420’ allows teams
to construct their own derby cars for downhill race

By Justin Scurlock
CONTRIBUTING WRITER

The Fish Tank Bar &
Grill has a unique way of
blending customer apprecia-
tion with a little old-fash-
ioned fun.

The bar‘s owners. Roger
Roberts and John Tresaloni
have announced plans for
The Fish Tank‘s first soap-
box derby. the “Fish Tank
420," to be held at 3 pm.
May 26th at a location to be
announced soon.

The race will be a down-
hill battle in which two-
member teams dash to the
finish line in their home-
made vehicles using only
gravity as power. The name
for this soapbox derby de-
rived from the fact that it
will be taking place a day af-
ter the Indianapolis 500. The
length of the derby. howev-
er, will be 420 feet.

In order to compete.
contestants must pay a
$25.00 entry fee. But cash

prizes in the categories of
fastest car. best looking car
and the “we threw our car
together at the last minute
and it sucks“ award will be
offered. said Roberts and
Tresaloni.

Also. all participants
will receive a free burger &
fries at The Fish Tank. 0n
the corner of Woodland and
Euclid. after the race.

“We never got the
chance as kids to be in a
soapbox derby." Roberts
said in response to why he
is building a car. “So we just
decided to do one now."

The purpose of the event
is to have sotne fun. while
putting an emphasis on par-
ticipation and sportsman-
ship. Tresaloni added. A few
rules and regulations will ap-
ply (every car tnust have at
least three wheels and work-
ing brakes). The cost of the
vehicle cannot exceed $150 to
promoting creativity and a
sense of recycling and scav-

enging. The shape and de-
sign of the vehicles will be
determined solely by the
imagination of the teams.

To add to the mayhem.
contestants are encouraged
to use water balloons and
squirt guns. Roberts and
Tresaloni said they antici-
pate seeing some crazy and
innovative cars and sonte
healthy rivalries.

As a sign of apprecia-
tion. and part of the re.
quirement to qualify for the
race. teams must contain at
least one person who is con-
sidered a “Fish Tank regu—
lar" (someone whom
Roberts and Tresaloni have
seen at The Fish Tank.
which will have been in
business for three years in

Build your own
soap box derby car

Soap box derby cars can be
quite complex and expensive
during fierce competition.

Derby cars come in three
different forms, according to
the All-American Soap Box
Derby - stock cars, super stock
cars and master division cars.

Plans to build your own ve-
hicle can be found at the All-
American Soap Box Derby Web
site at www.aasbd.orq/htm

City, library

should save

Carnegie Center

If the urban county council cuts funding for
the Carnegie Center for Literacy and Learning,
this is the message it is sending:

Literacy is not that important.

Computer training doesn’t really matter.

Writing seminars — who cares?

city for 70 percent of its funding, is not included
in Mayor Teresa Isaac’s 2004 budget, which
could cause the center to close June 30. Isaac has
suggested that the Board of Trustees of the Lex-

board is considering taking over some of the
center’s programs, but center officials worry
that the center would lose its autonomy under li-

Five hundred citizens protested the center’s
closing at a rally Sunday. Yet 500 people cannot
represent the thousands who have benefited
from the center's programs since it opened in
the old library building in Gratz Park in 1992.

The center is home to Operation Read, the

year for literacy training, computer training,
writing workshops and musical and arts events.

In a letter to The Lexington Herald-Leader,

Center officials have already signed co
