Neighbors to Know
Baptist Health — with a massive new development currently underway in Hamburg — has been listed in the nation’s top 150 large employers on the Forbes list of America’s Best Employers 2022. The recognition was announced and presented by Forbes and Statista Inc., a statistics portal and industryranking provider. Last fall, Baptist Health was ranked fourth in Kentucky in Forbes’ America’s Best Employers By State. “We are honored to be chosen as a leading employer among such highly-regarded companies,”
Kentuckians traditionally made a trip to the Office of Circuit Court Clerk in their home county for driver licensing services. Those services are now being transferred to KYTC. A phased transition is to be completed by June 30, 2022. Ninety-three Kentucky counties made the switch by the end of February. The new system enables Kentuckians who want to renew their present credential to do so online or by mail and “skip a trip” to an office. To date, more than 85,000 Kentuckians have used the online renewal option and more than 5,000 have used the mail option.
In addition, people requiring or preferring inperson service can visit any Driver Licensing Regional Office, regardless of where they live. “After many years of issuing driver licenses, circuit court clerks will be able to focus solely on court business, and driver licensing will be executed at new regional offices whose only business is licensing,” KYTC Secretary Jim Gray said. In June, KYTC launched an online renewal option for driver and motorcycle license holders who hadn’t had a change of name or address. In addition to renewals, license holders can use the mail-in option to update addresses and request replacement of a lost license. First-time REAL ID applicants must visit a KYTC regional office in person, with proof of identity, residence and social security.

Build for Relief
UK College of Design takes to the field BY MEG MILLS
I
nstead of a traditional lecture hall, a group of University of Kentucky College of Design students took to the field to learn from handson experience. As part of Bruce Swetnam’s design build studio, the students were tasked with not only designing, but building, full-size prototypes of their projects. “The idea that you can learn, not just conceptually but learn with your hands and with your eyes and you can smell the project — it’s a holistic way of learning,” said Swetnam, who is the Kentuckiana Masonry Institute Endowed Professor in the UK School of Architecture. The class was split into two project areas between the 18 architecture majors in the studio — the development of a sawmill pavilion, and the exploration of various habitats that address different stages of houselessness. For both projects, the students were given a set budget, clients and deadlines, much like they would experience in their career field.
8 hamburgjournal.com | March 2022
“This class was a really great learning experience, just because I feel like from now on, we are never going to design anything the same because we know the hiccups that we had to work through and how to fix them,” said Grace Butler, a fourth-year architecture major. “We even had to change our design a little bit just because of material issues or because of time, and it was really a great learning experience to battle those issues in a quick design setting.” Within the habitat for the homeless projects, there were several different types of shelters designed, based on different stages of homelessness — which the students conducted thorough research on. The first was an 8’x8’ shelter that included the bare basics of a bed and shelves that could be moved based on need — built and designed by Butler, Lauren Davis, Jackie Russell and Chloe Kelley. Their goal was to have a shelter that could provide privacy and storage but be as cost effective as possible. A
much larger 8’x24’ habitat, which included electricity and plumbing, was built and designed by Allyson Middleton, Greg Vergara, Joe Schulte and Justin Kirk. “We have done some other design build projects, but until this project, everything had been very conceptual. Being in this experience, with the frustration and failure, but then to see the reward of those struggles has been amazing,” said Davis. The shelter prototypes built by the students are currently in the process of being moved to Western Kentucky to provide aid to those affected by the tornadoes. “It’s honestly a great feeling, knowing our hard work is being put to use in a community that really needs it. Our project was built for a purpose and to know it is being used for that is something we can pride ourselves on,” said Russell. The second project area, a sawmill pavilion that provides shelter for the university’s new sawmill along with the tools and logs for projects, was completed by Lauren Major, Alan Hammell, Mohammed Aliessa, Chris Marra, Riley Day, Noah Martin, April Morris and Benjamin Rudloff. “Normally we just stop at the drawing concepts of our ideas, but we actually got to see how the materials are constructed, how the materials go together and then what it takes for a building to be structurally sound,” said Major. “In the end our build looked almost exactly like our drawings, and we were super happy with how beautifully it came together.”
Bruce Swetnam
“It’s honestly a great feeling, knowing our hard work is being put to use in a community that really needs it. Our project was built for a purpose.” —Jackie Russell The sawmill pavilion will be used in future UK projects, and to help other students learn in a hands-on way. All of the students agreed their success would not have been possible without Swetnam’s guidance and support.
“Well, the only way you can be a good mentor is if you have really great mentees. They have all been such a joy to work with. Everybody showed up even in adverse conditions. Everybody was eager to learn and we were all in this together,” Swetnam said. “Every one of these students has embraced this idea of using their talents in architecture to serve the community in one way or another. I think that’s one of the most rewarding things we can do as architects.” The class, and their projects, were made possible by a number of funding partners, including Franklin Gray with Gray Construction, a Sustainability Challenge Grant from UK, Coca Cola and the Kentuckiana Masonry Institute. Sustainability played a huge role in the thought process of the students’ designs; a large majority of the wood used in the projects was milled from trees removed from campus whether due to construction or disease. The Fall 2021 design build studio class ended with a showcase, which allowed the students to celebrate their hard work with community partners. “I am so proud of not only our group, but all of the other groups and their projects,” said Major. “Everyone was incredible — we all worked so well together, and I think it’s because of the attitude that Bruce brought to the site. He encouraged all of us to do good, treat others well and do your best and he was proud of us, and I think that’s the best feeling. He truly did more than teach us. He became our biggest supporter.” hamburgjournal.com | March 2022

SCHOLARSHIPS ANNOUNCED
A
historic $5 million gift from the University of Kentucky’s largest single donor will help thousands of young Kentuckians from underserved areas obtain a degree from UK. The scholarship program will also target students from medically underserved areas who want to attend medical school at UK. The gift from philanthropist Bill Gatton will target three critical areas for Kentucky’s future workforce and health care needs. The scholarship program will also prioritize and support first-generation students across these three areas. Gatton has set a standard for philanthropy for more than 25 years. The college of business and economics at UK bears his name as does the university’s student center. He has provided the foundational gifts for both the Gatton College facility and the Gatton Student Center. The total impact of his gifts at UK now total more than $70 million. “Mr. Gatton deeply understands that our mission is to advance Kentucky in everything that we do — the education we provide, the research we conduct and the care and service we render,” President Eli Capilouto said. “He believes in that mission. And he believes that it is Kentucky’s children — this generation of young people and those who will follow — who will secure a future for a state that is healthier, wealthier and wiser.” UK’s Vice President for Student Success Kirsten Turner will oversee the undergraduate scholarships awarded because of Gatton’s gift. Turner said UK’s mission to advance Kentucky depends on ensuring more young people from the state have access to the distinctive education the university provides. Addressing unmet financial need is one of the key strategies UK is employing to meet the needs of Kentucky’s workforce. Thus far, more than 600 UK LEADS awards have been given to students, with the average award being more than $5,700. “Kentucky’s future depends on an engaged, skilled and nimble workforce. This gift and how it will be utilized will help power our work to reach a graduation rate of 70% — a figure that would place UK among the top institutions in the country,” Turner said. “Most important, though, because of Mr. Gatton’s continued generosity, more bright and

promising young Kentuckians — who otherwise wouldn’t have this opportunity — will have the chance to realize their potential. Kentucky and its future will be the beneficiary for generations to come.”

LCA Students Raise Recording-Breaking Funds in Support of DanceBlue
For the seventh consecutive year, LCA has participated in Dance Blue, a University of Kentucky student-run organization that fundraises year-round and culminates in a 24-hour no sitting, no sleeping dance marathon. “Being able to make an impact on the lives of the children at Kentucky Children’s
Hospital is such a blessing for our LCA family,” said academic counselor Rhiannon Owens. “We’re so proud of our students for wanting to be the difference in the lives of others”.
When a child has cancer or some type of disorder affecting the blood, specialized care is needed. Providing effective diagnosis and treatment for such conditions requires the care of doctors and other medical providers with expertise in oncology and hematology. The money raised through DanceBlue is donated to the Golden Matrix Fund, established to support the children and families being cared for by UK HealthCare Kentucky Children’s Hospital Hematology/Oncology Clinic. For children in the Commonwealth, Kentucky Children’s Hospital offers comprehensive pediatric hematology and oncology services provided by a multidisciplinary team of experts. The DanceBlue Kentucky Children’s Hospital Hematology/Oncology Clinic provides diagnosis of and treatment for childhood hematologic and immunologic disorders and malignancies.

Bust that Clot
Baptist Health Lexington’s Comprehensive Stroke Center has announced that they will be the first hospital in Lexington and among the first in the state to adopt the use of Tenecteplase (TNK), a fast-acting clot-busting medication for stroke patients. “Tenecteplase (TNK) can be administered in 5 seconds, saving millions of brain cells while specifically targeting the clot,” said Murali Kolikonda, MD, Baptist Health Lexington stroke neurologist. “We are beyond thrilled to raise the level of care for our stroke patients in the community and see the benefits of this medication.” As a Joint Commission Comprehensive Stroke Center, Baptist Health Lexington offers a complete spectrum of solutions to patients living with cerebrovascular disease. Our team of specialists is trained to provide neurology, neurosurgery and stroke care, including advanced treatments in carotid disease, interventional stroke capabilities, neuro-interventional radiology and an expanded stroke research program.
Diabetes Day
Diabetes and the policies that could help prevent and mitigate the disease were highlighted during the 2022 “Diabetes Day at the Capitol” in February. The Foundation for a Healthy Kentucky and the Kentucky Diabetes Network hosted legislators, public health leaders, and diabetes advocates during the virtual event. Kentucky continues to rank in the bottom 10 of states for the prevalence of adults with diagnosed diabetes. Topics discussed included ongoing efforts in the commonwealth to lessen some of the burden of diabetes, available resources, and bills that could improve the situation. Upstream initiatives, such as the Healthy Farm and Food Fund and community health workers’ impacts, were also discussed. Proposed legislation filed to address diabetes includes House Bill 90, which would put a cap on costs of diabetes supplies, and House Bill 42, which would create an emergency insulin program. In January, an insulin cost cap – approved in the 2021 Legislative Session – went into effect.
Foundation names four Healthy Kentucky Policy Champions
The Foundation for a Healthy Kentucky recognized the American Red Cross, Juliana McGuinn, MPA, Lynne Saddler, MD, MPH, and Bill Wagner as Healthy Kentucky Policy Champions. The American Red Cross was nominated for its Sickle Cell Disease Initiative. Juliana McGuinn, MPA, center director at the North Central Area Health Education Center, was recognized for her outreach to the Hispanic community in northern Kentucky.

“YES MAMM!”
The Saint Joseph Hospital Foundation, on behalf of the Yes, Mamm! program, has received a $24,164.87 grant from the Lexington Cancer Foundation to purchase a new biopsy system that will detect breast cancer even earlier and help improve life expectancy. The grant will allow the foundation to purchase a Mammotome Revolve ™ Dual Vacuum-Assisted
Breast Biopsy System. This advanced tissue management technology minimizes tissue handling while eliminating procedure steps. It will provide an average of 250 patients annually with a highly effective and less-intensive biopsy process. “With this funding, we will be able to provide a better biopsy experience for our patients, and ultimately, save more lives by detecting breast cancer signs earlier,” said Leslie Smart, CFRE, president, CHI Saint Joseph Health Foundations. “Thanks to the Lexington Cancer Foundation for this support that will go on to help so many patients in the communities we serve.” The Yes, Mamm! program provides mammography screenings and diagnostic services, such as biopsies, to low-income, uninsured, underinsured, or medically underserved individuals in central and eastern Kentucky. The program collaborates with local health departments to identify individuals in need of these services and receive referrals to the program. Approximately 10 percent of the patients referred for this program require a follow-up biopsy or diagnostic screening.

Gershwin’s soaring melodies are matched by gravity-defying dance as the world rediscovers the power of love in this breathtaking production. Hoping to start a new life, World War II veteran Jerry Mulligan chooses newly-liberated Paris as the place to make a name for himself as a painter. But Jerry’s life becomes complicated when he meets Lise, a young Parisian shop girl with her own secret —and realizes he is not her only suitor. Winner of four Tony Awards and inspired by the Academy Award-winning film, this exquisite production features your favorite Gershwin songs including “I Got Rhythm,” “Liza,” “‘S Wonderful,” “But Not for Me,” and “Stairway to Paradise.” D.L.

Man O’ War Harley Davidson will celebrate St. Patrick’s by riding in the 41st Alltech Lexington St. Patrick’s Parade on March 12, kicking off the riding season!

It was a blast last year, and we cannot wait to carry on the tradition this year.” The parade starts at 1pm. Be sure to wear green — a prize will be given to the rider/motorcycle that’s the most decked out for St. Patrick’s Day!

Lexington asked for biscuits, and lo, there were biscuits. Our Biscuit Battle just got interesting. In 2020, Tudor’s Biscuit World opened in the neighborhood, promptly creating lines that stretched out to New Circle Road. Biscuit World is a family-owned, fast-food chain specializing in scratch made biscuits and breakfast foods. A restaurant chain based in Huntington, W.V., Tudor’s Biscuit World found its way to Lexington by way of family. Sam Creviston opened the new location with his wife, Kristin Tudor Creviston, and her brother, Patrick Tudor. “That’s the thing about our biscuits,” says Creviston. “Where you might want to eat one and a half to two at most places, one here is going to fill you up.” On a cold wintry February day, Biscuit Belly joined the fray, opening in the former A and W location on Main Street (for a Hamburg short cut: take Winchester Road all the way down to Walton and go left over the railroad tracks. When Walton ends at Main Street’s traffic light, you have reached your biscuit destination). The Louisville-based franchise was immediately so popular with Lexington’s biscuit-starved mob, they had to temporarily close when they ran out of product.
RUMOR MILL If rumors are to be believed, Chicken Salad Chick will add a Hamburg location later this year.

Lexington Humane Society’s vet discovered Huck had a broken leg, two broken femoral heads, and two fractures in his jaw. This 1-year-old pit bull mix weighed only 20lbs - his injuries consistent with being hit by a vehicle several weeks beforehand. Huck is with a foster family as he is still recovering. There is still a long road ahead. You can follow Huck’s journey on social media via #huckthebravepup
Huck was found in our neighborhood on Christmas Eve by a Good Samaritan, wandering lost and alone, scared and in pain, at Jacobson Park.

“Bzzz Bee-rea”
The Garden Club of Kentucky recently hosted Berea College first lady, Laurie Roelofs, as a speaker. The Berea College campus is managed sustainably with attention to the wellbeing of pollinators and other insects. This also becomes a learning opportunity for all. Roelofs’ initiatives have included the creation of four Monarch Way Stations on campus; obtaining Bee Campus designation for the College; and enhancing pollinator habitats in or near campus. Releasing butterflies with local children has become a regular event at Berea College. “It is an early and very important learning experience for the children,” Roelofs says, explaining that educating children is the foundation for community wide awareness of the monarch phenomenon. She also helped establish a new monarch way station near the Edwards building. The way station is a small plantation of milkweed upon which monarchs can lay their eggs.“I just want the monarchs to survive,” she says. “They are very beautiful and such an incredible process to watch.”
The Bluegrass Trust’s Antiques and Garden Show returns to the Kentucky Horse Park the weekend of March 4. This year’s keynote speaker is Christopher Spitzmiller.

The Central Kentucky Home and Garden Show returns to the Lexington Center downtown the first weekend in April. Ty Pennington is this year’s celebrity guest.
