RESTAURANTS A&W IS NOW OPEN at 2251 War Admiral Way (Suite 110) near Winchester Road.

To celebrate its new home in the Hamburg neighborhood, August 4 thru August 8 will be “Share Week” for Shriner’s Hospital of Lexington (50% of sales will be donated to the Shriners Hospital for Children of Lexington).

Celebrate National Root Beer Float Day August 6 with a free root beer float from 2 p.m. until close. Donations for the Wounded Warrior Project will also be collected. August 9 and August 10 will be Share Week for Lexington Humane Society (50% of sales will be donated to the Lexington Humane Society).

The grand opening is scheduled for August 9, from 3 p.m. to 7 p.m. and will include prizes, games, music and more.

NEW CUBAN RESTAURANT BRASABANA, at 841 Lane Allen Rd., donated $800 at a check presentation honoring its commitment to benefit the Wounded Warrior Project, a veterans service organization. The globally-inspired restaurant raised money to honor fallen heroes at a Memorial Day weekend dining event on May 25. Ten percent of proceeds from the family-friendly patio party that day were donated. Linda Gorton, Lexington vice mayor and long-time city council member, accepted the check from AZUR Food Group owners Jeremy Ashby, Miguel Rivas, Bernie Lovely and Rob Mudd.

Following the events of Sept. 11, 2001, the Wounded Warrior Project offers a variety of programs, services and events for wounded veterans of military actions. “As the wife and mother of soldiers, I understand some of the sacrifices our military members make,” said Gorton. “Specifically, this donation will be used to support our Wounded Warriors, who exemplify what it means to serve our country.” “We at AZUR Food Group are pleased to make this donation to such a worthy organization,” said Rivas. “We take seriously our tradition and continuing obligation to give back to our community and country.”

NEWK’S COMING SOON — A new fast casual restaurant, Newk’s Eatery, is entering the Lexington market this fall, and recently broke ground at its 4500 square foot store on Richmond Road. The Richmond Road location is scheduled to open November 2014, followed by a second location at Fayette

Mall. Newk’s will bring over 100 new jobs to the area.The locally-owned and operated restaurant is continuing the redevelopment of the former Lexington Mall property (home of the new Southland Christian Church).

“We are excited to be part of the impressive Southland redevelopment and revitalization of the former mall,” said co-owner Matt Minner.

“Newk’s offers a more upscale, family friendly experience than other fast casual brands, with higher quality food and a more modest cost,” said owner/operator Jay Minner.

FOOD BANK GOD’S PANTRY FOOD BANK recently closed on a property in Morehead for its new Morehead Distribution Center. The property is located approximately 5 miles from the I-64 and KY 801 intersection in the John Will Stacy MMRC Regional Business Park. The proposed 9,000 sq. foot facility will house food and supplies needed for the northeastern region of the food banking operation, allowing greater access to food for the Food Bank’s network of member agencies in this area. “The addition of this building marks another important milestone in the growth of God’s Pantry Food Bank,” said Marian F. Guinn, CEO, God’s Pantry Food Bank. “Our leadership team and board of directors developed a multifaceted plan to appropriately expand our infrastructure to better meet the needs of our member agencies and low-income Kentuckians, and we are anxious to open this new regional distribution center in the New Year.” Food Bank programs and agencies, such as soup kitchens, food pantries, shelters, senior centers, day treatment facilities and childcare centers, will rely on the new Morehead Distribution Center as their hub for receiving food, that they distribute free of charge, to families and individuals in need. The Morehead Distribution Center

will immediately impact 11 surrounding counties (Bath, Bracken, Carter, Elliott, Fleming, Lewis, Menifee, Montgomery, Morgan, Robertson and Rowan) including 3 of those counties that are currently underserved, as an effort to inject more food and supplies and attract agencies and organizations wishing to partner with the Food Bank in the fight against hunger for the Morehead region.

This project is fresh on the heels of the Food Bank’s recent opening of the Southeast Regional Distribution Center. This opening in London, KY has increased the availability of fresh, frozen and dry foods supplying, on average, 75,000 more pounds of food each month to agencies in the Southeast region.

“The first 6 months we have experienced with the Distribution Center in London, is a valuable model for our new Distribution Center in Morehead,” notes God’s Pantry Food Bank COO John Lancaster. “We have successfully increased the amount of food and people we serve in the Southeast region of our service area. Our partner agencies are better equipped to serve their clients when transportation and inventory storage is available within a reasonable distance from their location.” Adding the Morehead facility to the network of distribution centers that God’s Pantry Food Bank operates in Central and Eastern Kentucky is an important step towards increasing the amount of food distributed to areas in need.

Most of the 4,200 animals arriving at Lexington Humane Society (LHS) each year are healthy, happy animals who, by no fault of their own, find themselves homeless. But for some, being homeless is only part of the problem. These special animals are in need of intensive care to cure their illnesses or heal their wounds. Over 100 of these animals looked to LHS for help last year through their Second Chances program. Mae was one such lucky lady.

Looking at Mae you would never understand why she ended up in a shelter and you would never know she was very sick. Mae was suffering from heartworm disease, which could have killed her if she hadn’t received the treatment she needed.

Treating for heartworms is a long and costly process, but thanks to LHS’s Second Chances and Foster Care programs, Mae was able receive the medical attention and TLC necessary to overcome her illness. Mae is now paying it forward, acting as a therapy dog who accompanies her new owner to work each day to bring love and joy to extended-care patients.

Mae also has a little girl, Aidan, to call her very own.

I can fry

School

School School

By Tom Yates

M

y grandmother and Miss Lottie were best friends. Their homesteads in Western Kentucky, separated by a winding narrow country road lined with patches of woods, were perched on two rolling hills adjacent to each other.

During the winter, when the trees were bare, their houses were visible through the twisted branches. Country neighbors. They might not have spent a lot of social time together outside of church, community functions, or shared telephone party-lines, but it was quite evident they were close. Bonded by parallel life experiences, they were similar in many ways. They raised families through the Depression while tirelessly tending to their gardens, pastures, and barnyard animals. Farm life.

Beneath her rigid exterior appearance, Miss Lottie had a heart of gold. During those hot summer months, when we weren’t fishing, swimming, mowing fields, rewiring fences, or opening/closing cattle gates, we could count on Miss Lottie for two things: her small black pony she kept loosely tied to a tree in her front yard with a long grass rope for neighboring farm kids to ride and her flaky deep fried apple pies. She was the patron saint of summer. While the pony was a given, we never knew when or where her fried apple pies might appear. They simply happened. Without notice, she’d pull up the hill leading to my grandmother’s house and deliver a platter of fist sized half-moon shaped deep fried apple pies carefully tucked under meticulously pressed dish towels.

Sweet, without being overly sweet, the cooked apples dripped from the fried crusts faster than we could lick our fingers and arms to prevent the precious goo from spilling onto the ground. I can still smell and taste those summer gifts.

Back in the day, fried fruit pies were made from sun dried harvested fruit. Apples. Peaches.

Apricots. Preservation. Waste not want not. Right now, it’s all about the abundance of ridiculously ripe fresh summer fruit hitting the farm stands and markets. In the fall, when apples flood the markets, I’ll give Miss Lottie’s fried apple pies a go. During the peak summer season, I’ll stick with peaches, plums, blackberries, raspberries, and blueberries. The sky’s the limit. I might not be a baker, but I believe I can fry.

FRIED BLUEBERRY HAND PIES

Tricky business. I suppose just about any good pie pastry would have fried up into fantastic fried fruit pies.

I went very basic. After sifting together 3 cups Weisenberger Mill all purpose flour with 2 tablespoon sugar, 1/2 teaspoon baking powder, and a pinch of salt, I dumped the mix into a food processor and added 6 tablespoons of chilled unsalted butter. I pulsed the butter/flour mixture until it resembled coarse crumbs before adding 1 beaten egg and 1 cup milk.

I blitzed the dough until it formed a loose ball, rolled it onto a floured cutting board, gathered it into a disc, wrapped it in plastic wrap, and slid the dough into the refrigerator to chill for an hour or so.

BLUEBERRIES

Although blueberries might be hitting their

final stretch for the season, they’re still plentiful.

In fact, they’re everywhere. Score. I didn’t want to kill the pies with overly sweet filling, so I tip-toed between a pie filling and a compote. I tumbled 3 1/2 cups of beautifully plump Silas Farm blueberries into a sauce pan, added 3 tablespoons sugar, 2 tablespoons cornstarch, lemon zest, and 2 tablespoons water. After bringing the berries to a boil, I reduced the heat to a simmer and let the filling rip. When the berries collapsed and the mixture thickened, I pulled it from the heat to cool before folding in a handful of julienned ‘mini purple’ basil leaves and 1/2 cup whole uncooked blueberries.

CHILL. CHILL. CHILL.

I knew it was important to keep the pastry chilled during every step of the process. I failed that test once in a classroom. Once.

I pulled the dough from the refrigerator and plopped it onto a floured cutting board. Starting from the inside out while turning the dough in quarter turns, I rolled the dough into a large 1/4 inch thick circle and used a 6 inch pastry ring to cut the dough into several discs. After covering them with plastic wrap, I slid the discs back into the refrigerator to chill for 30 minutes.

FILLING

Trial and error. Too little or too much?

Like crepe making, the first few sucked. After brushing the edges of the dough with an egg wash, I spooned about 1 1/2 tablespoons of filling onto each piece of dough, folded them over, and sealed the edges before crimping them with a fork to really seal the deal. Back into the refrigerator they went to chill for an additional 30 minutes.

FRY TIME. Although I have an awesome deep fryer, I used a heavy cast iron skillet as an homage to Miss Lottie. After adding enough canola oil to measure about 2 inches in the skillet, I cranked the heat to medium high. Using a thermometer to gauge the heat, I let the oil reach 325 before turning the heat down to medium. When the oil reached 350 degrees, I carefully fried the pies until they were golden brown, turning them occasionally to prevent them from sticking to the bottom of the hot skillet. After 2-3 minutes on each side, I scooped the fried blueberry pies from the oil and placed them onto paper towels to drain.

While they were still hot, I sprinkled them with superfine sugar and Cerulean sea salt.

Meet our neighborhood educators!

Hamburg Journal8 15

I

t seems like summer had barely begun when we invited a few dozen educators in the Hamburg neighborhood to talk about the upcoming school year and what unique opportunities and challenges they anticipate. It seemed like most of the school district was away on summer vacation when we sent out the invite, but the educators interviewed below took a little break from their busy summers to share some of their thoughts with the Hamburg Journal reader. Many common themes emerged: they all welcome involvement from local parents and

the community; they all agree that back-to-school traffic is no fun; they all have a few first day jitters here and there. Just whatever you do: don’t ask Principal Brooks to dissect a frog! But do be sure to ask Principal Jones who his favorite member of KISS is.

BY KEVIN SMITH

GERRY BROOKS Principal LIBERTY ELEMENTARY Gerry Brooks is the Principal of Liberty Elementary. He is something of a “freshman” himself, telling us, “This will be my first year at Liberty but my 8th year as an elementary school principal.”

He says, “From the moment I was selected as principal I have been welcomed warmly by the entire LibPRINCIPAL GERRY BROOKS (right) erty family. I am a firm believer that people are the strength of any orga“To save money, I asked a friend who had an nization and I am excited to continue to build relationships with everyone in airboat to capture enough frogs for my class one weekend. In order to keep the frogs fresh, we froze the area.”

He is “looking forward to being at them. Unfortunately they did not thaw out in time for a new school and getting to know the class on Monday…” students, staff and families at Liberty.”

The only thing he dreads is the same thing every man dreads on his first day in a new office, “trying to figure out what tie to wear the first day of school.”

He tells us, “My wife and I chose to move our family to Lexington 14 years ago because we saw this community as a great place to raise our children. We have been blessed to find excellent schools, supportive churches and wonderful friends. Lexington is not just a city, it’s a community that values education and is committed to providing opportunities for all kids.”

Education is a family affair at their home. His wife is a kindergarten teacher and the two have three children. Their oldest son is a junior at University of Kentucky, studying to become a physician’s assistant. Their daughter is a sophomore at BCTC working on a speech pathology degree. He tells us their youngest son “will be a senior in high school and is heavily involved in drama both at his school and with the Lexington Children’s Theatre. Faith is very important to our family. I am heavily involved in the children’s ministry at my church and enjoy participating in mission trips that allow me to serve others around the world.”

He adds, “Education has always been a calling for me. I enjoyed school as a child and that love of learning has carried on into my adult years. One of the reasons I was drawn to Liberty Elementary was to be a part of a school community that fosters such a love for learning in all students.”

“Kentucky faces the same challenges that schools throughout the nation share,” he says, “ensuring that every student is successful in school. Kentucky is unique in the innovative ways

we are addressing the needs of students by changing what we teach, how we teach, and how we monitor student progress and success.”

The principal didn’t exactly take the summer off, telling us, “My summer days have been spent focusing on Liberty and the start of a great school year. I did have an opportunity to take a few days off in order to travel back to Florida for my high school reunion. I spent five days in Cocoa Beach soaking up the sun and visiting with old friends.”

The Liberty campus has not been quiet this summer either. “The school staff has been extremely busy this summer getting ready to welcome our students back on August 13. Our building has been cleaned top to bottom and we have interviewed all summer to make sure we hire the best candidates to join the great team of staff here at Liberty.”

What are a few things Hamburg residents might not know about his school? “Many people would be surprised to know that Liberty is the largest elementary school in Fayette County.”

In fact, he says, “I think the biggest challenge Hamburg faces at this time is the large number of families moving into the area.”

He is committed to Liberty being a good neighbor, telling us, “It is my goal to be proactive in communicating with our community. We want families, neighbors, businesses and organizations to feel welcome at Liberty and to partner with us both on campus and in the community at large.

Involvement in your child’s education starts with a positive relationship with teachers and staff. I would advise families to get to know their child’s teachers and communicate with them as often as possible. Anyone wanting to help at school is always welcome, whether they have a student at Liberty or not. We are always looking for extra hands to read with kids, mentor students or share their life experiences with our kids.”

Like most of the people we interviewed, he is enthusiastic about the prospect of the new Hamburg area high school. “It’s exciting that our school district will be opening a sixth comprehensive high school to help reduce crowding at the high schools in our community and to carry on the district’s mission of serving all students at the highest levels.”

He doesn’t have a moment to spare in the coming days. He says, “I am committed to learning every child’s name at Liberty, which is going to be a BIG challenge. Poring through the Liberty yearbook is helping in this endeavor.”

“The most rewarding thing for me as an educator happens daily,” he says, “seeing students come to school with smiles on their faces, excited to enter the building.”

But Mr. Brooks does not shy away from sharing an embarrassing classroom memory or two, telling us about the time, “As a classroom teacher, I enjoyed hands-on activities with my students. In science I planned to give my students the opportunity to dissect frogs. To save money, I asked a friend who had an airboat to capture enough frogs for my class one weekend. In order to keep the frogs fresh, we froze them. Unfortunately they did not thaw out in time for class on Monday, so I tried to speed up the process by microwaving them. I placed each frog in a sandwich bag and tied them with bread ties. My first batch of frogs caught fire in the microwave due to the metal in the bread ties. Needless to say, I have not dissected a frog since.”

In closing our conversation, he says, “I would like to encourage our parents to make preparing for back-to-school a family event. Shop together for school supplies and begin talking about all the exciting things that your child will be learning this year. I would also encourage adults to share stories about their school experiences with their children. Liberty also has a wonderful Family Resource Center that is open all summer and available to help families prepare for the first day of school and I would encourage families to call 381-4896 for support.”

16 Hamburg Journal www.hamburgjournal.com STEPHANIE HATFIELD Spanish Immersion Teacher LIBERTY ELEMENTARY The upcoming school year will be Stephanie Hatfield’s fourth year at Liberty, where she is a Spanish immersion teacher, but she has been a teacher in Fayette County for fifteen STEPHANIE HATFIELD years. She tells us, “I’ve known since “I am proud of our city and glad that it has so many high school that I wanted to be a opportunities for our children. It also means someteacher. I love working with the students and helping them gain knowlthing else to me, BIG BLUE NATION! GO CATS!” edge in not just academic areas, but in areas that can help shape their whole life. I love working in education because it gives me the opportunity to build relationships with the students and share of love of learning with them that will hopefully last a lifetime.”

Lexington is home to me. She was born in Cynthiana, KY, but adds, “Lexington is where I feel connected.”

She has two daughters. The oldest is eight and will be in the third grade at Liberty and my youngest is 21 months. The family had an “exciting summer,” visiting Las Vegas and Hilton Head. She also tutored students over the summer, and her oldest daughter is on the Andover Sharks swim team.

She says, “I always love the start of a new school year! I teach Kindergarten so there are many ‘firsts’ for the students and their families. I am so excited to meet the new students. I love to be a part of the student’s early learning experiences and see the freshness that they have for learning. The beginning of the school year is where the foundation and the love of learning begins. That is so exciting to me! The only thing I dread is going to bed early. I have become quite the night owl this summer.”

Her biggest back to school challenge is “removing the fear and worry from new Kindergarten parents’ minds. Many times the first day is harder on the parents than the students. I want to help them feel reassured that their child will be safe and in a loving environment while at school.”

“We have been very busy at Liberty preparing for the new school year. There are meetings, professional developments and planning to help start the new school year off successfully. I am a teacher representative for the SBDM council and we have also conducted many interviews over the summer to ensure that Liberty has the BEST teachers and staff.” She’s proud of the fact “That 80 percent of Liberty’s teachers and staff have at least 10 years of educational experience.”

Her advice to parents is, “get involved in your child’s education as much as you can. Get to know the school and the activities that are coming up. Be present at school when you can and get to know your child’s teacher. Finally, share back to school stories that you may have with your child to help them see that you understand how they are feeling this time of year.”

She recommends, “Ask your child’s teacher to volunteer in the classroom or for other ways that you can help. I know that many parents work and their schedule does not allow time at school.

Just let your child’s teacher know that you are willing to help in other ways. Our students need to see this positive connection between teachers and parents. It will let students see that we value an education. As an educator, I would like to ensure that our parents and community feel welcomed at our school. We love and value the support that they can give our school. Being in the Hamburg area, Liberty has many resources. I want our families and community to know that we welcome their help.”

“I am rewarded every year when I see the gains my students have made and how far they have grown academically and socially. I feel very proud when a former student comes up to me with a smile and a hug. That lets me know that our relationship mattered to them.”

“Like many other schools in the nation,” she says, “Kentucky schools face many challenges.

We strive to make sure that all students are successful. We are also teaching the Common Core Standards, as are many other states in our nation. As teachers, it is a challenge to make sure that we teach lessons and activities that align with the standards. We also need these activities to be rigorous and engaging for the students.”

She welcomes the forthcoming new high school, saying, “Many schools in Lexington are very crowded. This would offer students more space to learn and could provide state of the art technology and learning resources. This is also a wonderful opportunity for our community to support learning I think that Hamburg’s biggest asset is our community resources and our growing population. We have many families who love living in this area because of the resources and schools. I love it that there are so many ways that we can support learning and our schools right here in the area. There are many opportunities for outside learning and field trips to enhance our educational experiences.”

August 2014

Like her fellow education professionals, she agrees about the traffic in Hamburg. “I think the biggest challenge is that since we are growing so quickly, we need to find ways to improve the traffic. It can be crazy at times!”

In closing, she tells us, “Being a teacher, I feel that I am a part of Lexington’s community and future. I am proud of our city and glad that it has so many opportunities for our children. It also means something else to me, BIG BLUE NATION! GO CATS!”

MIKE JONES Principal CRAWFORD MIDDLE SCHOOL Mike Jones, Principal of Crawford Middle, is in his sixth year at Crawford Middle School and his sixteenth year in the Fayette County School District. Previously, he was an Associate Principal at Henry Clay High School. He tells us he “grew up in Paris, 20 minutes outside Lexington, so Lexington’s always been a home away from PRINCIPAL MIKE JONES home. Now, I’ve lived here my en“I challenged some students to a fundraising goal. tire adult life. I want Lexington to be successful. This is where I’m raising For the winners, I took them out in a limo out to my kids [he has a 12-year-old and a lunch and as a result of the challenge had to dress 15-year-old]. I want it to be a comup as a member of the band KISS in full makeup.” munity that everybody can be proud of.” His family took a “staycation here in Lexington,” taking the kids out to the lake.

“I look forward to the newness and excitement with students coming back to school,” he says, admitting, “ the thing I probably dread the most is the traffic, which makes it a little harder getting around town.”

Like all the educators we talked to, he says, “The biggest back to school challenge is time – trying to get everything accomplished with getting students and teachers back in and on the same page.” But it’s all worth it, “The most rewarding thing is seeing students you’ve put a lot of time into, [when they] come back and saying thank you for making a difference.”

His advice for parents is, “The main thing is just be involved. Involvement can be on so many levels. Being involved doesn’t necessarily mean being in the school every day. It may mean making sure your child has breakfast at home, making sure their homework is done, or that their permission slips are turned in. The best advice I have for parents is to just have good communication with the school.”

“The largest challenge in our education system is financial resources. We need individuals in the community who not only understand but also believe in our education system here in Fayette County who will be advocates for being involved.”

“Families without children have a very important role as well because our students of today are leaders of tomorrow – everyone has a vested interest in our school system because we are training those who will be taking care of us later. Additionally, as a Title I school we are always looking for resources for our students. You can be involved with your church or civic group and still be involved in the school system by helping volunteer, by donating coats or shoes, or by just being an advocate.

He eagerly anticipates the addition of a new high school to our neighborhood, saying “It’s great. I’m a huge supporter of it. Lexington definitely needs another high school. Student enrollment has grown across the district. One of my children attends a high school that is crowded right now. The new high school will be in a good area. And, we’ll be able to make high schools much more manageable size-wise.”

His most embarrassing/funny classroom memory, he admits he brought on himself. “I challenged some students to a fundraising goal. For the winners, I took them out in a limo out to lunch and as a result of the challenge had to dress up as a member of the band KISS in full makeup.”

Crawford Middle is committed to innovation. Principal Jones tells us, “I’ve worked with the leadership of our school to look at student data and find new and innovative ways to engage our students. We found that there are a number of students on an advanced track and we weren’t doing a good job of providing services to students that really needed to be pushed forward. As a result, we are starting something new this school year with an advanced curriculum for a select group of 6th and 7th graders who have already shown to have mastered standards for their grade level. It will be innovative, use a lot of technology, and be project based learning.” Crawford also has “a certified art gallery in our building, part of the LexArts Gallery Hop,” and consistently “brings a lot of outside things. For example, last year we brought in dance troupes and ballet.

Happy Healthy Kids WASH HANDS — Children get dirty, and that’s a good thing because it means they are exploring, learning and enjoying their childhood. It also means that your child is exposed to germs and bacteria that might cause illness. Having your child regularly wash his hands is a highly effective way to reduce his risk.

PLAY MORE — Your child should get at least 60 minutes of physical activity each day, and playing with toys or going outside count toward that goal. When your child exercises on a daily basis, he or she is likely to maintain a healthy weight and he is at a reduced risk for diabetes and heart disease.

EAT MORE FRUITS AND VEGETABLES — Increase your child’s intake of fruits and vegetables as one way to boost his intake of nutrients and improve his quality of health.

back-to-school health rules

SKIP SODA — The average 12-ounce soda contains about 150 calories and up to 40 grams, or 10 teaspoons, of sugar.
