Bed, Bath, and BankrUPdate

Fast Company reported in June, “Bed Bath & Beyond is still headed, at least partially, to the great beyond—even after Overstock.com won an auction to buy the struggling retailer’s intellectual

property and digital assets.Overstock will gain control of the chain’s brand name, business data, and digital assets. That means that while Bed Bath & Beyond’s physical stores are going away, its online presence could remain.”

Friends of Jacobson Park Receive $5K Donation

Friends of Jacobson Park recently received a generous donation of $5,000 from NiSource Charitable Foundation, the charitable arm of NiSource, parent company of Columbia Gas of Kentucky.

This donation will go towards creating a riparian buffer along the back edge of Lakeside Golf Course. The buffer zone will help absorb runoff and aid in preventing excess nutrients from entering Jacobson Lake. In addition to serving as another layer of protection of our water source, the project will create a wildlife habitat as it restores a half acre with native plantings. It will also include a pollinator garden with several species of native grasses and wildflowers.

URBAN SERVICES BOUNDARY

Urban County Councilwoman Denise Gray represents Lexington’s sixth district and reports on the recent decision to expand the urban services boundary, “I feel it is important to address the council’s decision to expand the urban service boundary. As you may be aware, we decided to allow the planning commission the ability to expand the boundary 2,700 up to 5,000 acres. It is important to understand this will not take place overnight. Our planning staff stated it will take 18 months to develop a plan.

“I made a motion to amend the Goals and Objectives to state that it is the intention of the urban council that the new Expansion Area Master Plan include provisions for the building and creation of affordable housing as defined by HUD and middleincome housing. This amendment gives the Planning Commission the power to create and decide how this will occur.”

UPCOMING WATER PROJECTS IN THE SIXTH

Kentucky American Water plans to do several water main upgrade projects in the Sixth District over the next 12 months.

• Projects are planned for the following roads:

• Strathmore Road

• Eastin Road/Grandin Road

• Ranier Drive

Paving: LFUCG’s Engineering group provides feedback to the Council on how paving should be conducted to restore roads that are disturbed in the water main replacement process. Kentucky American Water does not proceed with paving before this feedback is received in order to prevent unnecessary re-work. The first step in the paving process, though, is the installation of temporary pavement material (cold patch) until final paving can be conducted. Residents often mistake this for final paving.

Schedule: Schedules for the proposed projects have not yet been finalized. As soon as dates are determined, Kentucky American Water will provide information about the project, including the anticipated schedule, to property owners in project areas.

Communication: If there are particular concerns or questions regarding any of the streets above, please let Lexington’s 6th District office know.

Firefighters from around the state and out of state were able to take a variety of classes including Rope Technician during the 92nd annual Kentucky State Fire School in Lexington.

Make New Friends

Jacobson Park has many — like the Tree Sweater Gang!

BY KATIE LINDEMAN

Rena Baer and I started Friends of Jacobson Park in late 2022. We operate under Friends of the Parks, Fayette County 501(c)3, organized by former Councilmember Sandy Shafer. Rena is a professional editor and I am a landscape architect. Our love for Jacobson Park allowed two perfect strangers to align and form a service based volunteer organization to support Jacobson Park.

Our hope is to find ways to involve other community volunteers in not just helping keep the 216-acre park clean and the wildlife safe but also to hold fun events to support improvement/ educational projects.

Our first event was an Earth Day Cleanup in April, which drew 194 volunteers from our community and we removed nearly 2 tons of litter from Jacobson Park, the lake, and Lakeside Golf Course. We also removed 15 huge piles of invasive species that were growing at the base of the Loblolly Pines in the Pine Forest. LFUCG, Kentucky American Water, Hickman Creek Conservancy and Bluegrass Greensource sponsored us for that event — providing materials, t-shirts, and donations to make it possible for us to be successful!

Shortly after that in April, we applied for a Kentucky American Water Grant to restore half an acre of Lakeside Golf Course for a new riparian zone to improve water quality in the reservoir. We were awarded $5,000 from Kentucky American Water, $5,000 from Columbia Gas, an LFUCG Grant, and are currently working with several other potential donors. This half acre will become a new green infrastructure project that plants native species that absorb excess nutrients and pollutants from stormwater runoff before it reaches our drinking water in the reservoir. The project will also create new habitat as the mowed golf course grass is restored to a new native planting area that will provide habitat for animals, and create a new pollinator garden.

Our most recent effort installed in June — the yarn bomb tree art exhibit — is the result of a LFUCG Grant awarded to Friends of Jacobson Park. We then worked with a local knitting group called, The Tree

Sweater Gang who volunteered their time to knit and crochet for endless hours to create the pieces needed to cover the tree. They began with sketching out the tree measurements. Each group member designed their pieces to all work together to be installed on the tree. hey added some fun embellishments to the tree, like butterflies and birds for the entertainment of the children attending Free Friday Flicks and Camp

Our love for Jacobson Park allowed two perfect strangers to align and form a service based volunteer organization to support Jacobson Park.

Kearney at Jacobson Park. The Sweetgum tree is located near Shelter 6 in the Free Friday Flicks area of the park near Camp Kearney. Just to note, a few of the residents at Richmond Place volunteered their time and knitted several of the pieces seen on the tree. The Tree Sweater Gang is most well known for their tree bombing installations at the UK Arboretum Children’s Garden, which often have wishing pockets installed on them for children to write a wish and then leave it in the pocket on the tree.

Please join our Friends of Jacobson Park Facebook group for more details on future events. We are currently researching the interesting history of the park, and are planning a history walking tour in the future.

Later this month we will also tour Kentucky American Water and learn how they pull water from Jacobson Lake and the Kentucky River and bring it to their facility to treat for public consumption.

In late September we will be looking for volunteers to install thousands of plant plugs at Lakeside Golf Course for the installation of our riparian zone grant project.

Anyone interested in volunteering time in September to dig plug holes, plant plugs, or donate financially to support this large project, please contact Katie Lindeman at pentecost23@icloud.com.

Stay tuned for more information about these and other neighborhood projects at the HJ Neighborhood Club on Facebook.

Countdown to Kindergarten is On!

UK Social Work to house Child Well-Being Research Institute

The College of Social Work (CoSW) at the University of Kentucky will be the new home for the Child Well-Being Research Institute, which houses the Child Well-Being Research Network (CWRN).

The national network was previously housed by Chapin Hall at the University of Chicago, where it was launched in 2010.

“The decision to shift CWRN to an academic institution was made after we came to the realization that UK could provide the infrastructure and insight needed for the research network,” Lee Ann Huang, co-chair of CWRN and researcher at Chapin Hall, said. “The College of Social Work is an excellent fit — given their mission alignment; commitment to diversity, equity, inclusion and justice; strong track record in action-oriented research; and their commitment to the development of scholars.”

With 186 members from 135 universities, CWRN identifies and develops leaders who conduct cuttingedge research to enhance child well-being and improves the nation’s ability to prevent all forms of child maltreatment.

Kentucky Children’s Hospital Recognized by U.S. News & World Report

Kentucky Children’s Hospital (KCH) has been recognized as a 2023-24 Best Children’s Hospital by U.S. News & World Report. These rankings assist parents of children with rare or life-threatening illnesses and their doctors in choosing the right hospital. KCH was ranked nationally in three areas of specialized care.

The Joint Pediatric and Congenital Heart Program, a collaboration between Cincinnati Children’s and Kentucky Children’s Hospital, ranked seventh in the country in pediatric cardiology & heart surgery. This ranking also includes patients treated through the adult congenital heart program, a collaboration with UK HealthCare’s Gill Heart and Vascular Institute for adult patients born with congenital heart defects. In association with Shriners Children’s Lexington, KCH is ranked 42nd in the country for pediatric orthopedic care. While separate entities, Shriners and KCH work closely together to provide seamless pediatric orthopedic care. A staff of board-certified pediatric orthopedic surgeons and anesthesiologists have cared for children at both institutions for over 35 years.

The pediatric urology team at KCH is ranked 42nd in the nation for kidney, ureter, bladder and genital care. Since 2013, pediatric urology physicians, advanced practice providers, nurses, and staff have seen more than 18,000 patients and performed more than 5,000 surgeries at KCH and satellite locations across Kentucky.

#LEXSaveLives

The American Heart Association and Lexington Fire Department recently co-funded a project to equip each of Lexington’s 24 fire stations with a new electronic CPR mannequin. Citizens are encouraged to stop by any fire station in Lexington to get hands-on practice in learning Hands-Only CPR, which is CPR without breaths. (Annie are you ok? Are you ok, Annie?)

You’ll walk away with new skills and a limitededition #LEXSaveLives T-Shirt as a token of appreciation. Stop by Shillito Park at Fire Station 15 in the 9th District or any other Lexington Fire Station. Learn more at heart.org/lexsavelives.

Lexington Fire Chief Jason Wells said, “Our collective goal is simple – teach as many Lexington residents hands-only CPR as we possibly can to increase the chance of surviving a cardiac arrest for

Jason Wells, Lexington Fire Chief

our friends, family, and neighbors. Together we can create a community of lifesavers, and we are proud to be a part of this important initiative!”

“Nearly 70 percent of cardiac arrests happen in the home, which means if you’re called on to perform Hands-Only CPR, you will likely be trying to save the life of a family member or friend,” said Andrea Ooten, Executive Director of the American Heart Association in Central and Eastern Kentucky. As an added incentive to participate in the campaign, the first 500 people to visit a fire station to learn Hands-Only CPR and share a selfie on social media using the hashtag #LEXSaveLives will receive a free #LEXSaveLives T-shirt.

Rabies Caution

Lexington-Fayette County Health Department confirmed in June that a bat found in Lexington had tested positive for rabies. The bat was discovered in the Meadowthorpe (40511 ZIP code) area. The health department posted signs in the area to notify residents of the discovery.

LFCHD officials continue to remind residents to make certain their pets have a current rabies vaccination. There does not appear to be any contact between neighborhood animals and the bat, but officials ask that residents keep watch on their pets. Early symptoms of rabies include a change in behavior, chewing at the bite site, fever and loss of appetite.
