The Hamburg Journal is happy to provide the following business-related news from our area: Amy Lemaire selected as KMAC’s Museum Store spotlight in February The Kentucky Museum of Art and Craft, located at 715 W. Main Street, will highlight local artist and educator Amy Lemaire in the month of February for the “Museum Store Spotlight”. A selection of Lemaire’s latest body of work which features jewelry and wearable art will be available for purchase in the Museum Store. Artist Statement Lemaire’s recent series of work titled “Perforated Histories” contemplates wearable sculptures as political art. Throughout history, necklaces, headdresses, bracelets and other jewelry pieces have been worn to communicate status and rank, and to make a visual statement to others regarding political and social affiliations. Displayed on the body, touching the flesh, a piece of jewelry is also intensely personal, reflecting the wearer’s individual style. It is through this duality of public/ personal that a connection is made to political art. For “Perforated Histories,” Lemaire draws inspiration from current world events. By researching historical forms of ornament and reinterpreting these forms in a contemporary context, each piece serves as a meditation through which historical cycles and political landscapes can be explored. Amy Lemaire is an artist and educator based in Louisville, KY. She received a BFA in painting from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago in 2000, and an MFA from Pratt Institute in 2011, also with a focus on painting. In addition to her paintings and performative artworks, Amy has been working with glass since 1997, and specializes in
flameworking, with an emphasis on soft glass sculpture, beadmaking, and botanical replication. She exhibits her work nationally. More information can be found at www.amylemaire.com. The Kentucky Museum of Art and Craft was originally founded as the Kentucky Art and Craft Foundation in 1981. KMAC, located at 715 West Main Street in Louisville, Kentucky, is a nonprofit organization with a mission to support and promote excellence in art, craft, applied arts and design. The Museum is supported in part by the Fund for the Arts and the Kentucky Arts Council, the state arts agency, which provides operating support to the Museum with state tax dollars and federal funding from the National Endowment for the Arts. Museum hours are Monday through Friday, 10am to 5pm, Saturday 11am. to 5pm, or by appointment.

I
t really doesn’t matter what my 2012 goals are now that the yearly horoscopes are out. With Uranus influencing my financial sector this year my fiscal condition is set to improve drastically. Also, Venus will be dominating my love life and therefore I should prepare for more intensity than the previous year. Don’t be jealous -- I’ll write a book documenting all the hot details plus my investing tips -- but not until 2013 at the earliest. Haven’t finalized your goals or resolutions for the New Year? No problem, you’ve got plenty of time. You should know before setting your plans that 2012 is also the Year of the Dragon according to the Chinese zodiac. I looked to the Chinese Dragon’s analysis for the year 2012 and did a little decoding for what we can expect. -This a Presidential Election year. No matter what your politics, our upcoming Presidential Election on November 6th will provide conversation and controversy. Year of the Dragon Directive #1: The dragon is known to keep evil spirits away dating as far back as 3000 BC. This must mean: The truly wicked Presidential candidate will not be elected. I’m staying out of the political debate. I’m just go-
-2012 has 3 ‘Friday the 13ths’. Most years have 1 or 2 Friday the 13ths, but this year we get an extra opportunity to face our superstitions. Year of the Dragon Directive #2: It is believed that anyone who holds an emblem of this divine mythical animal will be protected and safe. This must mean: You should immediately scour the internet for the perfect drawing of a dragon and take it to the tattoo parlor so it can be permanently inked, thus protecting you forever, right? You’ve already survived Friday January 13th, 2012. Bonus points if you can have your new dragon tattoo in place by Friday April 13th or at the very latest Friday July 13th. Sidenote: Fear over Friday the 13th is known as paraskevidekatriaphobia. Once you learn how to pronounce it, you’ll be cured. - 2012 is a leap year. What will you do with an extra day? Year of the Dragon directive #3: In Chinese astrology the dragon is the only animal of the Chinese zodiac year that is not real. This must mean: You absolutely have to do something unreal on 2/29/12! I plan to spend my Leap Day at Disney’s Magic Kingdom! If you are headed to Orlando at the end of February (or thinking of visiting during this time), you can take advantage of some special Leap Year events and promotions. The Magic Kingdom will stay open a full 24 hours on February 29, 2012 beginning at 6am. If you’ve ever wanted to see the sun rise (and set) inside the park, this will be the day to do it. Sidenote: Disney is offering various ticketing promotions for this event as well -- most add an extra day to your vacation at no additional charge-making this a fun way to stay and play in Orlando on Leap Day for FREE. Happy 2012!

A popular new pool facility has sprung to life at Greenbrier By Joe Barks Club & Resort Business For over 40 years, Greenbrier Golf & Country Club, in Lexington, Ky., has stood as a solid example of how business and pleasure can mix successfully in the club world. It was founded in 1971 by William Morris Hart Sr., a highway contractor who combined his love of golf with his construction know-how to start a for-profit enterprise that could provide Lexington-area families with a serene, uncrowded place for socializing and pursuing a variety of recreational activities. Hart was a hands-on owner from the start, doing much of the work himself as the club took shape with a full complement of amenities, including a championship golf course and even a private, 19-acre lake where Greenbrier members enjoy exclusive fishing privileges. He then stayed actively involved, not only to ensure that Greenbrier was a successful business venture, but also to join the fun as an active participant in club activities himself, until his death at age 87 in October 2009. By then he had brought two sons, William “Morrie” Jr. and Larry, into equally active roles in the family business. They, along with the club’s long-tenured management staff, have maintained the same consistent approach for balancing decisions made in the best interests of Greenbrier’s 450 member families with sound business principles and practices. Perhaps the most impressive example of this is the recent replacement of the club’s original pool, which was first installed in 1972. “Recent,” in this case, is a relative term. Greenbrier’s management first saw nearly a decade ago that the original pool was nearing the end of its useful life. At the same time, plans were visualized for improving and ex-
panding the pool area, not only to meet members’ requests for things like better heating on early-season days, toddler splash areas, and more seating and shade on the deck, but also to give the club more attractive outdoor options for luring larger catered events. Greenbrier, however, has never assessed its membership for capital improvements—so doing things right, and completely, would mean finding a way to fund the project through operating proceeds. To help shape the right long-range plan and timetable, the club turned to RenoSys, an Indianapolisbased company that specializes in pool facility solutions. RenoSys suggested a way to immediately stabilize the old pool by employing a PVC pool membrane. That gave the club nearly a decade of time to plan, and budget for, a full $800,000 upgrade and expansion that was unveiled (after weather-related delays) to the membership on the Fourth of July weekend last year. For the full pool construction project, RenoSys served as lead contractor for not only a complete design/build reconstruction of the original pool, but also work that added 50% more deck space, doubled the size of the toddler pool and added “spray and play” features, and built a new permanent shade structure (see photos, below left and above). RenoSys designed the pool reconstruction around a durable, stainless-steel pool wall system covered with a textured PVC membrane. It also assisted with behind-the-scenes infrastructure improvements for systems to heat the pools, regulate chemical inputs and power-wash the new deck, and supervised subcontractors who re-landscaped surrounding areas and improved the parking lot, as additional parts of the project. By having the time to plan, and fund, all of this properly,
Greenbrier’s ownership and management is already “ecstatic” with the results, reports Club Manager Kelly Williams, PGA—even though the major payoffs aren’t expected to come until next season, when a full year of benefits can be realized. Largely because of the pool’s previous limitations, Greenbrier had kept a self-imposed cap on its social membership category, holding that group to 80. In 2012, Williams says the club “fully expects” to reach capacity of 150 for that segment, and has already opened 40 new memberships to the community, in response to buzz created by the pool-area improvements. Greenbrier also expects a major boost in its catering business, now that the expanded pool deck has been outfitted to take full advantage, day and night, of its surroundings. (The club had completed a snack bar expansion prior to the 2009 pool season opening, in anticipation of being able to serve more people on the larger pool deck.) “We opened up views to the west, so you can see the sun setting,” Williams says. “And after dark, we don’t have any of the lighting, sound or setup limitations we had before. We’ve already seen interest from parties as large as 200 people—and we also saw, in just a half-season, that the bigger pool deck was a huge hit that became ‘comfortably busy’ when we had 100 members who started to come here regularly on weekends. “We can’t wait for the new [full] season,” Williams adds. “We think this will be a major revenue source that will also add to the total value package for members and customers, by providing the finest pool complex of any club in the Lexington area.” (Reprinted with permission from Club & Resort Business, January 2012, copyright Harbor Communications LLC).

To All Our Valued Customers, Readers & Friends, “February is merely as long as is needed to pass the time until March.” (Dr J R Stockton)
Teresa Murphy | Publisher
There are complex historical reasons why February only has 28 days, but the consensus is that the days were needed to make the other months the right size, so February lost out. When it turned out the calculations were a little bit off, and we needed an extra day every four years, we felt sorry for February and gave it the extra day to make up for it.

YMCA of Central Kentucky has impact on US fencing While Lexington is known nationally and internationally for basketball and thoroughbred horse racing, Central Kentucky is quickly gaining a reputation in another sport: fencing. When 17-year-old Lee Kiefer finished third in the Senior World Fencing Championships in October, she served notice that one of the world’s best fencers lives right here in Lexington. Not to be outdone, her coach, Amgad Khazbak, is a coach for U.S. Fencing. He is also a fencing instructor at the YMCA of Central Kentucky. Amgad’s story began in Egypt were he began fencing at age 9. As he got older, Amgad wanted to teach fencing, but because of the popularity of fencing in Egypt, there were already many good coaches. In the U.S., however, there were ample opportunities and he found his home here in Kentucky. “Without the YMCA, fencing wouldn’t
be successful in Lexington,” Amgad says. “The High Street YMCA and Beaumont have provided a lot of participants and rooms to practice in during the week. When the classes first started, the response was huge.” Among those participants was Lee Kiefer. Lee, whose father fenced at Duke, started fencing when she was just 7 years old. “I had taken classes in Louisville because that was the only place that offered fencing,” Lee says, “so when it came to Lexington at the YMCA, I was really excited.” Lee advanced quickly and was the youngest member of the 2009 Senior World Team at the age of 15. She is currently ranked No. 1 in the U.S. and No. 6 in the world. Both she and Amgad are pointed to the 2012 Summer Olympics in London.

Diaper Duty Couple
Leland & Melody Blauser High school sweethearts and University of Kentucky graduates start local cloth diaper service
H
usband and wife Leland and Melody Blauser decided to start Fresh Fannies Diaper Service after the birth of their daughter in May 2011.
“There were not any diaper services available and we were adamant about reducing our carbon footprint and putting the safest and healthiest material against our baby’s skin,” Melody said. “We are very happy with our decision to use cloth diapers and would like to offer your family the same option with as much convenience as possible.” Fresh Fannies Diaper Service offers cloth diapers to the Lexington, KY area. Cloth diapers are much improved from what most people remember, according to the Blausers. “Not only are they as convenient as disposables, they also help the planet,” Melody said. “Let us show you just how easy and affordable they are.” Fresh Fannies offers in-home demonstrations to get those who are new to cloth diapers comfortable with them. The business picks up the dirty cloth diapers each week and drops off clean cloth diapers. Fresh Fannies can also drop off or pick up at daycares or workplaces. The price of using Fresh Fannies is comparable to using disposable diapers, Melody said. A complete price list is available on the website at freshfanniesdiaperservice.com. The service can be reached at 859-421-2332 or send email to hello@ freshfanniesdiaperservice.com, The Blausers were high school sweethearts who grew up in western Kentucky. They moved to Lexington after high school 10 years ago and are proud alumni of the University of Kentucky.

Internationally known visionary Celtic artist Cynthia Matyi opens at the galleries at Christ Church Cathedral and First Presbyterian Church, Friday, February 17, in conjunction with Gallery Hop. The Gallery Hop program will also include music by the Art Mize family ensemble and dance by the McTeggart Irish Dancers. The Celtic Style: The show will include over 50 oil paintings. Many of these are large, colorful, intricate creations which draw from the ancient tradition of Celtic illuminations. The artist uses these complex compositions in a way that reflects the questions, concerns and crises of contemporary life. Symbolism and repetition of symbolic shapes form a vocabulary which is essential to this Celtic style. With Cynthia Matyi’s work,
ancient motifs, and many newly created ones, take on special relevance for us today. The exhibit closes April 8. More about the artist: Cynthia Matyi is the major organizer of the touring exhibition, “American Celtic” (20002011) and her work has appeared in shows throughout the US, Canada and Europe. She has illustrated CD covers, posters and websites and gives workshops on Celtic art to students of all ages. She is the author, illustrator and publisher of the children’s book, “Little Town of Spirals” (2008) and has performed with the Irish traditional music ensemble, Silver Arm for over 20 years. Locations: This extensive show will exhibit at two sites across Market Street from each other, the galleries at First Presbyterian Church and Christ Church Cathedral in Lexington.

Mother Nurture to house human milk donation drop-off site in Lexington Beginning January 26, staff at local Lexington business Mother Nurture – a breastfeeding resource center and baby boutique – will officially join forces with the Indiana Mothers’ Milk Bank (IMMB) to collect donor human milk at the first donation dropoff location in Central Kentucky. Carefully screened donors will deliver their precious gift of human milk to Mother Nurture’s Milk Depot, where it will be frozen and stored until it is transported to IMMB, which provides pasteurized donor human milk to ill or premature infants throughout Indiana and the Midwest. “We regularly receive calls from Lexington area moms interested in donating their extra storage of expressed milk,” said Cerise Bouchard, Mother Nurture owner and newest Milk Depot coordinator. “Our staff is honored to help make it more convenient for such a precious donation, while increasing the availability of human milk for babies.” “We are very excited to officially launch our second Milk Depot located outside of Indiana. IMMB has been operating seven Milk Depots in Indiana for over 3 years and the response has been overwhelmingly positive,” said Janice O’Rourke, executive director of the Indiana Mothers’ Milk Bank. “We have seen steady increases in human milk donations from the Lexington area and are proud to partner with such a great organization to provide this service for moms and families in the community.” Mother Nurture will be IMMB’s ninth donation center, joining the current Milk Depots currently operating in Bloomington, Evansville, Fort Wayne, Lafayette, Michigan City, and Muncie, South Bend and Louisville. “IMMB hopes to continue forging partnerships with organizations throughout the Midwest in order to make the process
of human milk donation easier for donor moms and families, while also helping to support breastfeeding in local communities,” said Janice O’Rourke, Indiana Mothers’ Milk Bank executive director. “This Milk Depot opening marks an exciting period of growth and will support breastfeeding initiatives already in place in the Lexington community.” “I am so fortunate to have an oversupply of milk, and wanted to help out other mothers who wanted to give their babies the best but couldn’t,” said Jessica Santangelo of Richmond, current IMMB human milk donor. “Having the depot in Lexington is a great opportunity to not only give donors a convenient location to drop off their milk, but it will also reach mothers who come to Mother Nurture for classes, playgroups or to shop who don’t know about human milk donation and Indiana Mothers’ Milk Bank.” Santangelo has already donated 500 ounces during the past several months and has 1000 more ounces ready to donate when the Milk Depot at Mother Nurture opens. “This is a great thing – both for moms in central Kentucky who have extra milk they do not want to waste and for babies in need of milk. Hopefully, all those breastfeeding moms lucky enough to have extra milk can take advantage of this great service,” she said. According to the Centers for Disease Control (CDC), breast milk is easy for infants to digest and contains nutrition and antibodies that can protect them from disease and infection. Much of IMMB’s community outreach strives to support breastfeeding and the use of human milk. The opening of a Milk Depot in the Lexington community only strengthens the support of local breastfeeding initiatives.

American Diabetes Association names National Youth Advocate The American Diabetes Association is pleased to announce that Logan Nicole Gregory, 17, is the association’s 2012 National Youth Advocate. Logan, of Lexington, was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes when she was 2 years old. As the association’s National Youth Advocate, she will focus on promoting advocacy initiatives and encouraging children and adults to become involved in the fight to stop diabetes. Logan has been involved with the association since she was a 6-year-old ambassador for Step Out: Walk to Stop Diabetes, and she has been very involved in many advocacy efforts since. She has spoken at the Kentucky State Capitol, testified before a state committee, met with state and national elected officials and conducted letter writing campaigns. She was previously honored with the Public Policy Award from the Bluegrass Community Leadership Board, and the American Association of Diabetes Educators’ 2011 Advocacy Award. “Logan Gregory serves as an excellent role
model and inspiration for people living with diabetes. We are thrilled to have her join us as the association’s 2012 National Youth Advocate,” said L. Hunter Limbaugh, chair of the board for the American Diabetes Association. “Her spirit and dedication will be vital in our national advocacy efforts and a key part in the fight to stop diabetes.” Logan, a senior at Paul Laurence Dunbar High School in Lexington, Kentucky, is also involved with many fund-raising activities including hosting a fashion show, Runway for Change. She also speaks at schools, special events, luncheons and sororities to raise awareness and educate people about the disease. “I have been so fortunate to meet so many wonderful and influential people within the diabetes community,” she said. “And while having diabetes was not a choice, what I choose to do with it is. As the 2012 National Youth Advocate for the American Diabetes Association, I can and I will make a difference.”

Area Montessori schools have joined together to host Lexington’s first Montessori Schools Fair, scheduled for 6:30 pm Thursday, February 23. The Fair will introduce parents considering an educational alternative to public school to Montessori. It will also provide parents who are curious to investigate more about Montessori education, an opportunity to understand more about the benefits for children and instructional philosophy. Montessori schools in the area offer a full continuum of education from toddler through high school – so parents of children any age would benefit by attending. Hosted by Montessori schools in Fayette, Clark, Boyle, Scott, Woodford, Madison, and Jessamine counties, the event features keynote speaker Trevor Eissler, author of “Montessori Madness: A Parent to Parent Argument for Montessori Education” with each participating school being represented. Eissler, father of three Montessori students, is a business jet pilot and flight instructor. Over the past 15
years, he has taught hundred of pilots, from beginners to professionals. After enrolling his children in a Montessori school he fell in love with the teaching method. In his book, he shares his passion from the perspective of a newcomer to Montessori with the aim of informing busy parents who find it challenging to dedicate time for researching educational opportunities. Eissler provides examples of how Montessori education applies to the real world. Using his experiences as an airline pilot, he draws connections between what children learn in a Montessori classroom and what employers today are looking for in the work force. The Montessori Schools Fair will be held at 6:30 pm on Thursday, February 23 at Calvary Baptist Church, 150 East High Street in downtown Lexington. If you would like more information regarding the Montessori Schools Fair, please contact Michelle Campbell, Head of School, Harmony Day School at 859.519.6759 or by email at info@ harmonydayschool.com

Kentucky American Water taking scholarship applications Kentucky American Water has announced that applications are now being accepted for the company’s 2012 Ripple Effect Scholarship Program. The program, now in its 10th year, offers one-time, $500 scholarships to high school seniors who demonstrate strong academic performance and a commitment to environmental stewardship. Students in the company’s 10-county service area (Bourbon, Clark, Fayette, Gallatin, Grant, Harrison, Jessamine, Owen, Scott and Woodford counties) are eligible to apply. Information about the scholarship program has been distributed to area high schools and can also be found at www.kentuckyamwater.com. The deadline for entry is March 23, 2011. “We are pleased to continue recognizing and rewarding students who are making a difference in protecting and preserving the natural beauty of their communities and encouraging others to do the same,” said Kentucky American Water President Cheryl
Norton. “We look forward to reviewing this year’s entries.” The company established the Ripple Effect Scholarship Program in 2002. In the last decade, a total of $42,000 in scholarship funds has been awarded to 68 Kentucky students. Kentucky American Water, a wholly owned subsidiary of American Water (NYSE: AWK), is the largest investor-owned water utility in the state, providing high-quality and reliable water and/or wastewater services to approximately half a million people. Founded in 1886, American Water is the largest publicly traded U.S. water and wastewater utility company. With headquarters in Voorhees, N.J., the company employs more than 7,000 dedicated professionals who provide drinking water, wastewater and other related services to approximately 15 million people in more than 30 states, as well as parts of Canada.

Scholarship program available for adult diabetes prevention Kentucky is among the 10 states with the highest incidence of diabetes in the United States. Ten percent of Kentuckians are estimated to have diabetes, 20 percent of Kentuckians over the age of 65 are afflicted with the disease. To help combat the growing threat of diabetes, the YMCA of Central Kentucky has announced a new program that will provide scholarships to qualifying adults over the age of 65 enabling them to participate in the YMCA’s Diabetes Prevention Program. The “Get a Jump On Diabetes” scholarship campaign will provide scholarships valued at about $300 to the first 50 adults in the YMCA of Central Kentucky’s service area over the age of 65 and diagnosed with prediabetes. The YMCA Diabetes Prevention Program, which is open to adults of all
ages, consists of 16 weeks of classroom study led by a lifestyle coach. The initial 16 weeks are followed by a maintenance program of up to a year. The goals are to reduce body weight by seven percent and increase physical activity to 150 minutes per week. To qualify for the scholarships, senior adults, age 65 and older, must be overweight and referred by a physician or health care professional certifying that blood values meet prediabetes levels. Qualifying individuals do not have to join the Y to receive the scholarship. The scholarships are funded by Novo Nordisk through the Medicare Diabetes Screening Project, a coalition of more than 20 national patient, provider, industry and government organizations, co-chaired by the American Diabetes Association, the Healthcare Leadership Council and Novo Nordisk.
