ecessity is the mother of invention, and brownies have definitely qualified as a necessity for many over the last year. Erinn Foglesong decided to become a home-based processor in Hamburg, launching The Brownie Bae, after realizing there was no handy source dedicated to gourmet brownies in the neighborhood. As for what her gourmet brownies entail, think of your favorite childhood snacks manipulated into fun flavor combinations, with some brownies weighing up to a pound and a half. Asked why the brownies are on the pricier side, Foglesong isn’t shy, declaring, “Because they are gigantic, gourmet, and freaking worth every penny.” Customers can place orders at least 48 hours in advance and pick up in Hamburg.
Know Your Neighbors ORI Lexington is revolutionizing work environments
A
fter nearly a year of adapting to working from home, many workplaces are returning to office environments in 2021. The mission of Office Resources, Inc. (ORI) is to revolutionize work environments in Central Kentucky and they’re doing it in our neighborhood. ORI, which acquired Cardinal Office Systems in 2012, opened their futuristic office showroom on Fortune Drive last year. “Everything we do is about supporting the ways that people work, making businesses and healthcare organizations better, and designing around that,” says Caitlin Neal, Director of Sales for ORI. ORI relocated to Fortune Drive from Nicholasville with the goal to bring their warehouse and office space
together in one convenient Lexington location. Neal explains, “Plain and simple, Lexington work environments are behind.” Neal says it’s been interesting to observe how businesses have responded to the pandemic-induced shift to working from home. She’s observed an evolution in business owners who became passionate about motivating their employees to return to a workspace that’s better than how they left it. Swapping cubicles for standing desks and incorporating new design elements that support social distancing helps employees to feel both safe and healthy at work. Where most design processes begin with aesthetics, ORI takes a more holistic approach. The company begins the process of building a work environment by first finding out the goals of a business, their growth plan, the type of people they want to attract, and more. All of those factors come prior to deciding a color palette. “We think there is a better way that you can create a work environment that supports your business goals, makes your business better, helps with attraction and retention, and also gives your people a level of autonomy,” says Neal. The Lexington ORI showroom is open for tours by appointment only. hamburgjournal.com | Winter 2021

David Kloiber is the 6th District’s new councilmember. Kloiber and his family live in the heart of Lexington’s 6th district. He grew up in Lexington, and it is his appreciation of this city and its people that convinced him to move back after the birth of his second child. “While there are many wonderful and unique places to live, I know in my heart that Lexington is a part of me, and that it will be the best possible place for me to live, work, and to raise my children,” says Kloiber. Kloiber was a first-time candidate running for the position held by Angela Evans, who resigned in the summer of 2020 to pursue a graduate degree at Princeton. The remainder of Evans’s term was filled by Lisa Higgins-Hord, appointed by Mayor Linda Gorton. Kloiber’s prime motivation is to help foster education, community collaborations, and the economic development to sustain them, calling his initiative “Bridging Communities.”

Sports Medicine In Orthopedics, ‘We Save Lifestyles’
S
taying active is a key ingredient to a healthy lifestyle. Sometimes, though, activity can lead to injury and create roadblocks to maintaining the healthy lifestyle. That’s where orthopedic physicians can help. “In orthopedics the saying is, we don’t save lives, but we save lifestyles,” said Frank Taddeo, MD, who joined CHI Saint Joseph Medical Group – Orthopedics in Lexington, Winchester and Mount Sterling as a sports medicine physician last summer. “We strive to keep people as active as they can be for as long as they can be. It could be getting out and walking around the block or getting back to an elite sport.” Dr. Taddeo originally began his career in family medicine, but his passion for musculoskeletal medicine drove him to further specialize his skills. This pursuit allowed him to focus on the science of healing acute and chronic muscle, tendon and bone issues in all age groups. His dedication to personal wellness and caring for athletes of all ages and fitness levels led him to pursue a career in sports medicine. His patients range from the 60-year-old who wants to be active and go fishing to elite athletes who have suffered an injury. He begins by identifying a treatment plan based on the patient’s goals and lifestyle. He said surgery is not the only option for orthopedic injuries, with new types of treatment providing relief for many injuries. Dr. Taddeo uses ultrasound guided procedures and diagnosis, allowing him to diagnose and treat injuries in his office. “My passion has always revolved around how we move. If we can better understand how or why we get injured we can begin to correct how to move. Once we accomplish that, healing should soon follow. My job is to take patients through that process and hopefully ease some of the burden along the way,” said Dr. Taddeo. “It’s important that people enjoy staying active throughout every stage of their lives. This is why I focus on identifying a treatment plan based on each patient’s individual goals.” Dr. Taddeo is actively involved in his field. He is a member of the American Medical Society for Sports Medicine, the American College of Sports Medicine and the American Academy of Family Physicians. He has also volunteered his medical assistance at various sporting events and clinics, including USA Boxing and the University of North Dakota athletics. He’s looking forward to being involved in the Lexington community. “My goal is to develop relationships with my patients and to be an advocate for them,” said Dr. Taddeo. “I’ve been able to treat patients across the nation, but Kentucky has always been in the back of my mind. I’m excited and ready to grow my career in this community and develop those relationships with my new patients.” This material has been provided by CHI Saint Joseph Medical Group for informational purposes only.

Ashton Grove connects retired residents with retired race horses

O
ld Friends, in Georgetown, began in 2003 as a non-profit retirement facility for horses. Partnering with the recently-built Ashton Grove was an obvious match made in heaven. Ashton Grove Senior Living offers Independent Living, Assisted Living, and Memory Care in an active adult senior retirement community. Non-medical care and support, along with amenities and lifestyle options are provided to the residents. Creating an Old Friends extension in the “backyard” acreage of Ashton Grove offered an amenity unlike any other. The Old Friends blog explained the concept at the official unveiling in October, “When Old Friends supporters Bev and John Passerello moved from California to Ashton Grove Senior Living in Georgetown, they saw the potential for a wonderful blend of happy horses and happy people. The Passerellos saw that Ashton Grove, a new facility only a few miles from Old Friends’ main farm, included some good pasture land and a barn. These had formerly been used by Hill ‘N’ Dale Farm and were still in excellent shape. They saw there was good fencing and ample room well back from the noise of the road. They saw that Old Friends could use more space for horses….Retired people and retired horses—it was a natural...It was a big project being proposed, and of great importance to all concerned, equine and human. It had to be done right, and implementing such projects takes time, forethought, and effort. Through the year
of planning and preparation the Passerellos provided the energy and unfailing confidence in the project that made it a reality.” Ashton Grove sits on more than 80 acres. Half of those acres are occupied by the senior living community while the other half features eight paddocks, a 12-stall barn, and horses. The process was ten months in the making, but the initial seven retired Thoroughbreds arrived on-site in September. Though it presented many unique challenges, in some ways, the timing couldn’t have been better. With so many regularly scheduled community activities canceled or put on hold due to the pandemic, the backyard farm provides the residents daily interactive opportunities. Community resident Tom Emerson quickly became an avid volunteer, feeding the horses every day, rain or shine, even on holidays. Prior to living at Ashton Grove, he’d “never been that close to a horse before,” but instantly embraced the mission. “Such magnificent creatures,” he says of his equine neighbors, “old people like me have a retirement home, I think old horses should have a retirement home too.” Each horse has an incredibly interesting story, but Bev made it clear that everyone’s favorite filly is Millie. Most of the horses are racetrack gildings, but Millie, a mare who was picked up in a kill pen in Oklahoma, quickly became the first horse to really warm up to the residents of Ashton Grove, especially Emerson. The Passerellos are still heavily involved with horses, but Bev explained “To have them here in
Ashton Grove Senior Living offers Independent Living, Assisted Living, and Memory Care
Ashton Grove recently hosted a ribbon cutting. The senior living community features a variety of amenities including the uniqueness of an on-site horse farm. Residents have access to salon services, restaurantstyle meals offered in a dining room or smaller bistro, an on-site fitness center, and several common areas for recreational, social, religious, educational and wellness programs. With the Assisted Living option, residents receive help with personal care and daily living activities based on a personalized service plan. Private units are available as one or two-bedrooms, or studios, featuring the choice of a room with a farm view or a patio. Memory Care provides enhanced therapeutic stimulation for those with memory loss, in addition to individualized personal care and daily activities. The Independent Living option offers maintenance-free living in a resort-like community and full access to all campus amenities. These homes, known as Ashton Grove Cottages, are available as two bedroom, two bathroom units.
our background and to watch someone like Tom... This is so spectacular, he’s typical of what I hope will happen.” While much progress has been made on the horse farm throughout the pandemic, the focus is now on finding ways to make the farm more accessible to residents. Future plans include a wheelchair and golf cart trail, along with a gazebo on the top of the nearby hill. The goal is to provide an on-site home for up to 30 horses.

exington Senior Center installed a metal sculpture “Being Alive” created by Lexington artist Garry R. Bibbs. The piece was commissioned and donated by Senior Center participant Kirk Kopitzke, in memory of his wife Betsy, and donated to the Friends of the Lexington Senior Center for display at the center. Kopitzke solicited senior artists from the area to create art that reflects the mission of the Senior Center and to be relatable to seniors. The selected piece is a sculpture of stainless steel and bronze plate. The circular frame
encloses a silhouette of a woman running with her dog, inspired by a photo taken by Kopitzke of Betsy and their dog. “The artwork is based on a photo, a moment in life, which conveys the energy and ecstasy of being alive. We see it as life, its memories, its values, the stories and how we live it. Kirk charged my art expertise to design an artwork to inspire elderly people to live! And to give life to those who come to the Lexington Senior Center,” Bibbs said.
