They also provide several additional services that we do not, which we will now be able to offer all of our clients.”

BusinessBriefs Alltech Announces Advance in Diabetes Treatment

alcoholic fatty liver disease.

The research was conducted in cultured human cells and in animal models of severe Type 2 diabetes. The next milestone in the development of NPC43 will be clinical trials.

Alltech, Inc. has filed an international patent application covering this technology (PCT/ US18/30371).

Researchers with Alltech Life Sciences have announced the development of a possible alternative to current insulin treatments for hundreds of millions of patients worldwide who are living with diabetes.

The results from 12 years of scientific research were recently published in the peerreviewed journal Cellular and Molecular Life Sciences. The paper details the development of a novel treatment for both Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes, using a compound called NPC43.

The compound works by reactivating dormant insulin receptors, thereby allowing blood glucose to enter cells. Furthermore, it inhibits glucose production from diabetic liver — a condition associated with insulin resistance that worsens the problem of having excess glucose in the bloodstream.

NPC43 is effective when administered either orally or by injection.

“Imagine insulin to be a key and an insulin receptor to be a lock that allows glucose to enter cells,” explained Dr. Ronan Power, chief scientific officer at Alltech, in a release announcing the breakthrough. “Type 1 diabetics can’t produce keys and, although Type 2 diabetics can, they possess broken locks.

The result of either type is that the glucose door remains shut. What we have discovered is a way to open the lock without a key, even if the lock is broken.”

Bank of the Bluegrass Opens Romany Road Branch Bank of the Bluegrass & Trust Co. will open its third Lexington location this month on Romany Road in Chevy Chase.

“We’re excited about meeting our new neighbors and can’t wait to get started,” said Caroline French, financial center manager of the new Romany Road branch, in a media release announcing the new site.

PHOTO FURNISHED BY ALLTECH

Researchers with Alltech Life Sciences have announced a breakthrough in diabetes treatment that would eliminate the need for insulin injections.

The grand opening for the new branch, to include a ribbon-cutting at 361 Romany Road, is scheduled for 4 p.m. on Oct. 24.

In addition to enduring the pain and anxiety of injections, those living with diabetes are often faced with limited access to affordable treatment. Insulin prices have more than tripled in the past 10 years, becoming unattainable for most underinsured patients.

Bank of the Bluegrass opened its first Lexington location at 101 East High St. in 1972, followed by the opening of its second branch at 215 Southland Drive in 2003. The bank has been locally owned and operated since 1972.

“The compound has the potential to be revolutionary,” said Dr. Zi-Jian Lan, senior research scientist with Alltech Life Sci-

ences. “Since it works when administered orally, this could mean the elimination of injections, pens and pumps, and provide an affordable alternative to insulin.”

The implications for NPC43 could extend beyond diabetes to any syndrome or disease associated with insulin resistance. That may include polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), cardiovascular disease, obesity and non-

“It’s a new era for our bank,” said Bill Allen, president of Bank of the Bluegrass. “We’re looking forward to being able to serve our community even better.”

BusinessBriefs Keeneland Closes Successful September Yearling Auction

the 2,855 horses that went through the ring was $126,096—down 2.5 percent from last year. Median price of $45,000 was down 10 percent. The percentage of horses not meeting their reserve remained even at 24 percent.

Keeneland closed the book on another successful September yearling sale on Sept.

22, highlighted by an $8.2 million filly that changed hands during its first week.

The filly, a daughter of 2015 Triple Crown winner American Pharoah, was purchased

by Mandy Pope’s Whisper Hill Farm, which has been the name on many big tickets at public Thoroughbred auctions over the past few years. Pope first made headlines in 2012 when she paid $10 million for Horse of the Year Havre de Grace and again in 2017 when she bought champion Songbird for $9.5 million. Her public auction investments now top well over $50 million in seven years and are primarily focused on fillies and mares she can add to her band of broodmares.

The $8.2 million price tag for a daughter of American Pharoah set a record for a filly at Keeneland’s September sale.

Those strong results may be somewhat surprising, given the news of a possible breeding cap released just before the sale began. The Jockey Club, which is the official breed registry for American Thoroughbreds, announced Sept. 6 that it is considering imposing a limit on the book sizes for stallions beginning as soon as 2021. If the group’s board of stewards passes the rule, it will be the first time in the organization’s 125-year history that it has placed limits on registration based on the number of horses from one stallion.

The price tag was a record price for a filly at this auction, and the fourth-highest yearling price in the September sale’s history. It was a life-changing figure for Fred Mitchell of Clarkland Farm, which bred and consigned the filly. The yearling is out of Leslie’s Lady, who is also the dam of top runners Beholder and Mendelssohn.

A press release highlighted concerns from the stewards about stallions that cover 140 or more mares in one breeding season, pointing out that the percentage of recent foal crops sired by these high producers has increased considerably in the past 10 years.

In 2007, 37 stallions bred 140 or more mares from a total of 3,865 active stallions overall.

The number took a dip three years later to 24 but has since gone up to 43, and the population of active stallions is now less than 50 percent of what it was in 2007.

“I don’t have any words,” Clarkland’s Fred Mitchell told media after the hammer dropped. “It’s unreal.

If passed, the resolution would limit book sizes to 140 or fewer mares per year, tapering in the requirement for new stallions.

Total receipts for the two-week sale were the second-highest since 2007 and just behind last year at $360,004,700. Average price for

The next public Thoroughbred auction in the Lexington area will be Fasig-Tipton’s Kentucky October Yearlings, Oct. 21-24. BL

CraveWorthy Southland Bagel Settles Into A New Home on its Namesake Corridor

BY ROBIN ROENKER CONTRIBUTING WRITER

S

outhland Bagel, which developed a devoted following serving up homemade, hand-rolled bagels in both classic and nontraditional flavors at the Lexington Farmers Market, now has a permanent home on Southland Drive.

Partners Sam Williamson, Tom Johnson and Tim Schosser—who run the business along with their wives, Lindsey, Becky, and Isabel—opened Southland Bagel’s new storefront at 428 Southland Drive in late September. The shop serves bagels, coffee, sandwiches, soups and salads from 7 a.m. to 3 p.m. weekdays (though those hours may eventually extend until 5 p.m.) and from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Saturdays and Sundays.

The new shop offers a counter for carryout service as well as a sizeable space for dinein eating. Guests can also watch the kitchen staff in action through a custom-built window that offers a view into the prep space.

Williamson, a Lexington native, met Johnson and Schosser, who are cousins, when all three worked in the kitchen at Brontë Bistro at Joseph-Beth. They became friends and eventually started talking about launching their own food-based business.

“We had kicked around a couple of concepts, and whenever our families would get together, we’d always cook for each other,” Williamson said. “We were looking to develop a family-friendly place that we could bring our kids to. Bagels just kind of seemed to be a thing where there was a niche here. There weren’t a lot of other options in town.”

As the designated “kitchen master” among them, Johnson began developing and testing bagel recipes early this year. By Super Bowl Sunday, he felt like he’d found a winner.

Williamson and Schosser agreed, and the partners went all-in on the business. They established a regular presence in the Incubator Kitchen at Lesme Romero’s Lexington Pasta Garage, leased vendor space at the Lexington Farmers Market, and even chose the name Southland Bagel before they had secured a location on the iconic Lexington street to eventually establish their storefront.

“At that Super Bowl Party, I said, ‘Let’s go 100 percent in on this [name],’” Williamson

said. “We rolled the dice. We knew we wanted to be on this strip, and four months later we were signing the lease.”

Southland Bagel’s new home has a long history of providing carb-based goodness, having been the site of Cottrell’s Bakery in the 1960s. “My mom used to ride her bike here to get French bread,” Williamson said.

Sourcing local ingredients has also been a priority for the partners since day one. The bagels are made using Weisenberger Mill flour and are boiled in Kentucky sorghum.

Also driving their business model are in-

novative bagel flavors, like tomato herb, that customers may not have experienced before.

“That’s the flavor that made me want to start trying to make bagels at home,” Johnson said. “I’d had tomato basil bagels in other cities off and on throughout the years, and I really wanted one, so I decided to make some, and now here we are.”

In addition to classic flavors, Johnson and the team plan to offer avant-garde varieties like Buffalo bagels, Old Fashioned bagels (with hints of bourbon and orange), jalapeño cheddar bagels, Churro bagels and more.

At the back of the facility, behind Southland Bagel’s main workspace, the team also plans to set up their own small incubator kitchen as a way of paying forward the help they received at Lexington Pasta Garage.

“We’re going to rent kitchen space to tenants. There’s a demand [for incubator space], and there aren’t a lot of options in town,” Williamson said.

“There’s so much good food in this town, and we have 60 years of food experience between us,” he said. “It just felt like it made sense [to help support other entrepreneurs].” BL Tom Johnson, Tim Schosser and Sam Williamson met and became friends while working in the kitchen at Brontë Bistro at Joseph-Beth.

Along with their wives, they opened Southland Bagel at 428 Southland Dr. in late September.

L

essons about discipline, hard work, time management, teamwork, dealing with disappointment, and learning one’s strengths and limits are all part of the implicit curriculum for Bluegrass Youth Ballet students.

“We provide an environment where students can build their self-esteem, self-confidence and self-respect,” said Adalhí Aranda, the organization’s founder and director.

“These characteristics nurture excellence, as students carry them into other areas of their lives.”

Aranda has helped hundreds of students develop in dance and in life since she founded Bluegrass Youth Ballet (BYB) in 2003 with a total of 45 students. She incorporated the business as a nonprofit 501(c)(3) four years later. Today, BYB has 289 students ages 3 to 18 and also offers ballet classes for adults. The mission remains the same: to engage and inspire youth by providing access to the art of dance throughout the community.

Earlier this year, Aranda decided that Bluegrass Youth Ballet had outgrown its three-studio location on Mercer Road and began looking for a new location. She leased the former Hancock Fabric building at 442 Southland Drive and undertook a complete renovation. After five months of construction, the new space made its debut in September. The 13,000-square-foot building now includes four studios, a boutique, lounge area, kitchen, three offices and storage. Plans for a second phase of renovations include adding a fifth studio, a sewing room and a multipurpose space.

“We are still seeking support toward our capital campaign for more mirrors, barres, naming rights and more,” Aranda said.

“BYB has operated in the black for the past 16 years, and with the support of generous sponsors and donors, we plan to continue that way far into the future.”

The organization has three full-time employees, two part-time administrators, a marketing director, costume mistress, pianist, five part-time teachers and a 12-member board of directors, most of whom are parents of past or present students. “I love to see things through their eyes and expertise,” Aranda said. “They are respectful and always honor my work, while making sure we uphold fiscal accountability as an organization.”

In addition to producing fully staged performances, BYB participates in community events and festivals such as Festival de Latino, the Thriller parade, Southland Street Fair and Kidchella. The organization started a Valley Park Outreach Program in 2013 to offer discounted classes, taught in both English and Spanish. The cost of the program is subsidized with grants from LexArts, Partners for Youth and other corporate and individual donors.

Aranda said her most pressing challenge is finding qualified instructors. “Losing a good ballet teacher is devastating,” she said.

“It takes a national search to find the right person. We have even tried to hire teachers from outside the U.S. to fulfill our faculty.”

BLX_1-24_1119.indd 9

Adalhí Aranda founded Bluegrass Youth Ballet in 2003 with a total of 43 students.

The company now teaches nearly 300 students, and recently moved into a new studio at 442 Southland Dr.

Aranda was born and raised in León, Mexico, and studied ballet in Guadalajara.

Many of her instructors, she said, would often use harsh methods. “It felt as if many teachers’ goals were to put you down so much that you would quit,” she said. “I never understood why it had to be this way.”

Her dream was to one day start her own studio and create a positive environment where children would feel both strong and safe to grow in themselves and in their talent. It takes about 10 to 12 years to train a dancer, Aranda said, and only a small percentage make it to a professional level.

While several students from Bluegrass Youth Ballet have gone on to dance with professional companies, all students are treated “as if they are going to become professionals,” Aranda said. “Because when they know we have high expectations, they will rise.”

Aranda moved from Mexico to Evansville, Indiana, in 1994 to join a professional dance company. Five years later, she got a contract to perform and teach in Lexington. “I fell in love with the people. I stayed because it just felt right,” she said. “Perhaps it would be easier to be in a bigger city. Or perhaps they are saturated, and it wouldn’t be easier at all. I will never know.”

Still, when Aranda is asked ‘Why Kentucky?’ her answer is always the same. “I didn’t choose Kentucky,” she says. “Kentucky chose me.” BL

EASY BANKING STARTS WITH GOOD PEOPLE

Putting Your Skills to Work for a Nonprofit Board

BY ANNE DONWORTH CONTRIBUTING WRITER

Y

ou have worked hard to build your network, career, wealth and family.

It’s likely that the same skills that have helped you reach your personal goals would benefit one of Kentucky’s 19,000 nonprofit organizations, or NPOs for short. If you’d like to get involved and help build your local community, here are some tips to get you started.

Find a passion Pick an NPO that you can really get behind—financially speaking. Your first responsibility will be to donate to the organization yourself. Ideally, you will actively fundraise on behalf of the NPO, but at the least, be prepared to advocate for its good work. Even if you don’t have vast financial resources, most organizations require board members to make an annual donation that is meaningful to them. It’s hard to convince others to support an organization if its leadership doesn’t personally invest in the mission.

Learn about the organization Listen to staff, read reports, review materials and familiarize yourself with the services and programs offered by the nonprofit.

You may also want to review the Form 990, the federal tax return for nonprofits, publicly available through GoodGiving.net.

Not only will you save everyone time by being prepared for board meetings, but you will better understand how you can help the organization succeed.

Communicate with leadership What does the organization need? Beyond funding, which all nonprofits desperately need, most NPOs need help with governance issues (think policies and bylaws), financial expertise and community relations.

Community relations could include marketing assistance, setting up a meeting or thanking a donor.

As a board member, you recognize where the organization wants to go and strive to get them there. Be upfront with leadership about what you can or can’t do. Share any real or potential conflicts of interest and be realistic about what you are actually prepared to do for the organization. If you can’t do some-

BLX_1-24_1119.indd 11

thing, that’s fine! Just tell the staff so they can find someone else to do it instead.

Provide oversight A board of directors governs the organization, including the hiring (and sometimes firing) of an executive director. The executive director implements the policies and strategic plan developed by the board, hires other staff members and conducts the dayto-day operations of the organization. The director shares timely reports, updates and financial statements with the board. Your responsibility is to understand them and ensure that nothing is out of place—financially or otherwise.

Camden Skidmore, Sr. Business Banking Officer

We are proud to welcome Camden Skidmore to our team. See how he can make banking easier for you at 859.519.3345.

Share within your network Board members not only support their NPO, but enlist their friends and businesses to do so as well. The best board members open doors for their organizations but never make any promises without first consulting staff leadership. Be an ambassador for the organization—which should be easy to do if you have already picked a mission that you support and have a strong understanding of how the organization fulfills a need within our community.

Be respectful of staff Nonprofit work is challenging. Like you, they are there because they believe in the mission; however, unlike you, they are on the front lines delivering services every day—usually on a shoestring budget, with little pay and few benefits. They are doing their job because they love it, so look for ways to say “thank you.” Don’t expect special treatment or favors because you serve on the board. Your personal fulfillment should come from your work to build a better community, not from what you might get as a result of your good deeds.

Thank you You are helping to build a brighter future for our entire community, and we are all better for your service.

Bingham Greenebaum Doll to Combine with World’s Largest Law Firm Regional law firm Bingham Greenebaum Doll has announced it will combine with Dentons, the world’s largest law firm, to form Dentons Bingham Greenebaum.

BY TOM WILMES BUSINESS LEXINGTON

R

egional law firm Bingham Greenebaum Doll has announced that it will combine with Dentons, the world’s largest law firm, to form Dentons Bingham Greenebaum.

The announcement is part of a broader arrangement that also includes Pittsburghbased law firm Cohen & Grigsby combining with Dentons and rebranding as Dentons Cohen Grigsby.

The combinations with Cohen & Grigsby and Bingham Greenebaum Doll—including Kentucky offices in Lexington and Louisville; Indiana offices in Jasper and Evansville; and an office in Cincinnati—will grow Dentons’

global reach to 181 offices, with more than 10,000 attorneys working in 70 countries. It will also increase Dentons’ domestic presence to 33 locations and represents a major step in Dentons’ goal to establish the first “truly national law firm,” according to Dentons Global CEO Elliott Portnoy, with offices in the nation’s top 100 markets, eventually.

“Right now, no law firm has offices in all 20 of the largest U.S. legal markets, much less the top 100,” Portnoy said in a prepared statement. “These combinations will better position us to attract and retain top talent across the U.S. and beyond, which in turn will allow us to better serve our clients’ needs.”

Dentons’ structure is unique in that there are no central headquarters and no centralized corporate culture. Rather, Dentons expands its reach through a “combination” strategy in which the company is organized as a unified conglomerate of individual partner firms, each with its particular areas of expertise, legal licenses and certifications. Each individual firm operates autonomously, with its own local leadership, rate schedule, structure and culture, and combines with Dentons for global reach.

Bingham Greenebaum Doll’s partners will remain partners in the newly formed Dentons Bingham Greenebaum (DBG), as well as become partners in Dentons. Tobin McClamroch will serve as managing partner of DBG and is based in its Indianapolis office.

Branden Gross will continue as managing

partner of DBG’s Lexington office. Dentons is led by Global Chair Joe Andrew and Global CEO Elliott Portnoy.

“Unlike a merger or an acquisition, where there’s a headquarters and this is how things are going to be run from now on, this is the opposite,” Gross said. Dentons combines “with local and regional firms, and those firms keep their culture and their clients, but it gives them a bigger footprint and reach.”

Previously, if a locally based corporate client needed legal assistance in exporting its products to China, for example, or with contracts in New York, Bingham Greenebaum Doll would research and recommend local counsel in those cities. The firm also frequently acts as local counsel for other firms with clients doing business in the region.

DBG will now be able to offer its clients seamless legal services across state lines and in different countries through affiliated Dentons offices, Gross said, as well as offer its expertise and services to clients in other Dentons offices. DBG can also bring economies to the overall practice by offering its services to a New York-based client, for example, at rates that are much less than is typical for a Manhattan-based firm.

“We think our industrial hemp clients and our manufacturing clients will be assisted right out of the gate on this,” said Gross, who also mentioned potential benefits for clients in equine, energy, utilities and other sectors where business is increasingly conducted on a

national or global level.

“Ultimately we think this is the best way to provide the next level of service to our clients, with both depth and talent and with the emerging technologies to serve those clients,” Gross said.

“It’s a growth opportunity for us, for our attorneys and, more importantly, for our clients,” said Bingham Greenebaum Doll partner Darby Turner III. “We don’t have to get outside counsel for them and clients don’t have to manage two or three different law firms. It will all be managed internally.”

Conversations between Dentons and Bingham Greenebaum Doll began about two years ago, Gross said, and were driven, in large part, by the increasing globalization of business, as well as by advancements in technology and in delivering legal services. There are also advantages in centralizing costs associated with expenses such as malpractice insurance and technology licenses, for example, on a national level and for a much larger group.

“It’s the continued evolution of the legal practice,” Turner said of positioning DBG as a global firm. “In the 1950s, a three- or four-person firm was considered a huge law firm. And then, in the ’70s, the Louisville firms wanted to come to Lexington and be statewide. In the ’90s, they wanted to be regionals. This is a continuation of that trend.

It’s exciting to be on the forefront of the next step in this evolution.” BL

Career Support for Caregivers Emergency Medical Training Professionals helps train first responders and health care workers in areas where employers need them most.

BY HEATHER CHAPMAN CONTRIBUTING WRITER

I

n the middle of an interview, the administrative assistant at Emergency Medical Training Professionals steps in to tell Assistant Director Sarah Clark that there’s a problem—one of the phlebotomy students thinks she may be having her baby right then and there. Clark, who also teaches paramedic classes, calmly snaps into action: “Is she having contractions? How far apart are they? Does she have someone who can drive her to the hospital?” The assistant runs off to find out. Clark shrugs, laughing: “And this is what it’s like to be the person in charge.”

The leadership role comes naturally to Clark, just as it did for her mother, Gerria Berryman, when she founded EMTP in 2007.

When she started the business, Berryman had a modest goal: teach emergency medical technician classes for a few years to make some extra money and stay busy until retirement. But the business kept growing and has continued to do so with her daughter at her right hand.

Today, EMTP has expanded from two rooms in a multi-suite building on Red Mile Road to the entire basement and most of the first floor, with 22 instructors offering nearly two dozen certification courses, such as EKG technician and medical billing. Berryman is still active in the business, but day-to-day operations are led by Clark. Berryman’s son, Scott Robinson, is marketing director, and EMTP employs a small, dedicated team of support staff.

Berryman began her career as a paramedic in Washington County, where she was born and raised. She then worked in the Jessamine County EMS system for many years. In the late ’90s, Berryman heard that the Washington County EMS was in financial distress and was about to be taken over by a private company. She approached the program’s leaders and asked for 60 days to turn the EMS program around. Berryman also promised to help them find a private program herself if she wasn’t successful. “She wound up not only turning it around in 60 days but actually grew the service pretty decently over a couple of years,” Clark said.

Berryman began thinking about starting her own business to train EMTs—partly because of her entrepreneurial drive but also because she was concerned about the frequent burnout she saw in the profession and how it affected patient care. “She decided something had to change somewhere,” Clark said. “And what better way than to change it at the educational level?”

Today EMTP offers classes across five areas of specialization—its School of EMS, School of Medical Assisting, a Dental Assistant Program, School of Nursing Assisting, and community training courses such as in CPR and first aid. EMTP’s focus is helping to prepare students for jobs in their chosen fields, as well as offering recertification courses.

BLX_1-24_1119.indd 13

Paying attention to job trends and listening to feedback from local doctors and universities has helped EMTP figure out where training needs are. They also look at accreditation requirements, as well as how the areas of expertise are growing locally and nationwide.

For example, because the Affordable Care Act reduced some Medicare and Medicaid reimbursement rates, many doctors sought ways to cut costs in areas that didn’t impact patient care. Medical transcription is one of those areas. Thanks to advances in speech recognition software, doctors often opt to compose their own notes. While EMTP is certified to teach medical transcription, they’ve never hosted a class in it “because it’s unethical to take a student’s money and know that they can’t get a job,” Clark said.

To be reimbursed for Medicare under the ACA, doctors must also have nationally certified medical assistants in their offices. This is problematic for doctors whose assistants have been trained on the job, “so, a lot of doctor’s offices, because they had really good employees, they sent them here to become ACA compliant so they can get paid,” Clark said.

Other employers have sent workers to EMTP for training, continuing education or recertification. Bluegrass Army Depot, for example, wanted their employees trained as EMTs so they could become first responders in the surrounding community, Clark said.

EMTP also recently partnered with an addiction treatment center to help EMTs and paramedics learn to treat overdosing patients in the most humane, productive way possible.

After all, Clark said, when an EMT or paramedic revives a patient who has overdosed, “instead of being jaded and irritated with them, that might be [that person’s] first opportunity to hear about some recovery hope.”

While EMT and paramedic courses remain EMTP’s most popular programs, not many graduates end up working in ambulances these days. Increasingly, they’re finding jobs in hospital emergency departments, as

trained EMT and paramedics are being hired for support roles once fulfilled by licensed practical nurses. This is especially true in hospitals seeking to maintain magnet status, Clark said. Magnet status is a designation given by the American Nurses Credentialing Center based on a set of criteria designed to measure the strength and quality of a facility’s nursing staff. One of those criteria is that all nurses at magnet hospitals must have at least a bachelor’s degree.

Currently, University of Kentucky HealthCare and Baptist Health Lexington are the only magnet hospitals in Lexington. “UK has a 23-hour hold ward on their ER, and that’s staffed by paramedics,” Clark said. A hold ward is a care unit for people who need monitoring for a few hours but don’t quite need to be admitted. “So, you’re just as likely, if you’re in that 23-hour hold, to see a paramedic with a nurse overseeing them than to see anyone else,” Clark said.

No matter where her students end up,

Clark says it’s a privilege to teach them—and to get to know them and their career goals.

“I enjoy just meeting different students and helping somebody go from maybe a lackluster career [into a field that fulfills them],” she said. It’s difficult to have much impact working one on one, “but if I have a class of 20 [students] then I have 20 opportunities every single day to go out and touch and, hopefully, bring something to somebody who needs it.”

Clark and EMTP are succeeding in that goal, according to student Chelsea Emmons.

She said she loves taking classes there, and that it has been a supportive learning environment in helping her to achieve her goal of becoming a certified medical assistant. In particular, she loves “the great atmosphere and the quickness of the courses,” she said. Plus, “everybody’s so friendly, it’s like family here.”

Case in point: That student who went into labor during a phlebotomy class? A fellow student didn’t hesitate to offer her a ride to the hospital. BL

our independent or assisted-living arrangements for even longer.”

The facility also offers residents a host of social activities, Hinchman said. Last year, the village’s social calendar featured more than 3,500 events on campus. It contributes to the strong sense of community and belonging that Sayre works to build, she said.

“Our residents often tell us they wish they’d come earlier,” Hinchman said. “When they get here, the sense of camaraderie we have really helps them to thrive.”

Chevy Chase Gardens, expected to open this spring on Duke Rd., will offer 24 one-bedroom senior-living units.

All the Comforts of Home Aging boomers in the Bluegrass look close to home for the latest options in senior living

BY SUSAN BANIAK BUSINESS LEXINGTON

T

he increasing ranks of aging baby boomers in Central Kentucky have spurred a surge in senior living facilities across Lexington in recent years.

The Bluegrass area’s senior population age 60 and older is expected to increase roughly 30 percent in the decade between 2015 and 2025, according to projections from the Kentucky State Data Center. As this expanding swell of seniors and their families evaluate their current and future needs for more care, many are seeking living arrangements that will provide added comfort and convenience while still keeping them close to the communities they call home. Multiple new and expanded developments set to come online in the next year are hoping to answer that call, reflecting a broadening landscape of local senior living alternatives.

Aging in Chevy Chase While many seniors indicate a desire to age in place, often it’s not so much about the physical structure where they live, but the community of support they have built around it, said Solly Van Meter, who is developing a new 24-unit senior living complex on Duke Road. And according to a Senior Living Satisfaction Study released by J.D. Power in 2018, location is a driving factor for the majority of aging consumers and their families when making their senior-care selection.

Van Meter’s project, Chevy Chase Gardens, expected to open this spring, is taking a neighborhood-based approach to aging in place, he said. The boutique concept aims to providing concierge-style assisted living services for aging seniors who prefer not to leave Chevy Chase.

“People like to stay in their neighborhood,” Van Meter said. “We want to age where we are closest to our established support systems, and that relates very closely to your neighborhood, or the neighborhood where your children and your friends are.”

It’s unusual today for an elder-care enterprise to locate as an infill project in an established residential community inside

BLX_1-24_1119.indd 14

New Circle, Van Meter said, but keeping its future residents connected to all the nearby neighborhood amenities of the Romany Road corridor is part of the mission.

“We will have a back gate that allows our residents to walk next door to have lunch at the Wheeler’s [Pharmacy] lunch counter or to go to Suggins for a drink with friends,” he said.

The one-bedroom apartments are designed with carriage kitchens, high ceilings and plentiful windows, to make them feel bright and spacious, Van Meter said, with dining services available in a separate building. The units are constructed so they can be combined into two-bedroom suites if requested, and the first-floor apartments will be licensed as personal care units, for residents who might need a higher level of assistance, now or in the future.

Van Meter said he expects the smaller scale of the facility will enable it to focus on the needs and preferences of its residents for everything from social event planning to high-quality dining service to seamlessly integrated individual wellness plans. The facility has also partnered with the local concierge medical practice of Drs. Ryan and Cady Brown to provide tailored memberships for residents, including at-home wellness visits, house calls and a physician “quarterbacking” service to coordinate medical care in the event of hospital admittance.

“People have different needs and different tastes,” Van Meter said. “There’s a lot of variety that’s starting to work its way into the senior living industry. Nowadays you can’t be one size fits all.”

Adding elbow room at Friendship Towers In May, Sayre Christian Village broke ground on the expansion and renovation of its Friendship Towers assisted-living apartment complex, which will add 15 one- and two-bedroom apartments to the facility, along with a new café, restaurant-style dining room, resident lounge, wrap-around porch and more.

The facility, originally built for independent living and later certified for assisted living when that concept was first introduced, is also refurbishing its existing apartments and common space as part of the project. That will in-

clude an updated beauty salon, exercise room, chapel and game parlor, said Elise Hinchman, director of marketing and development. The old and new sections will be connected by a glass pedway to give all residents easy access to the entire facility. The project, which is the biggest endeavor since its Healthcare Center expansion for the 36-year-old faith-based nonprofit continuing care community, is projected to be completed next summer.

In response to an increasing demand for more elbow room and mainstream-oriented accommodations for the senior set, the new apartments will be larger, Hinchman said, featuring up to 1,125 square feet of living space in the two-bedroom units. The apartments will also have their own full-size kitchens and in-unit washers and dryers.

“People don’t want to downsize, and we have listened to them,” Hinchman said. “If you are going to attract independent senior residents potentially at an earlier age, they want to have their grandkids over. They want to have visitors, and they want to entertain.

We have to give them space for that.”

“There’s a lot of variety that’s starting to work its way into the senior living industry. Nowadays you can’t be one-size-fits-all.”

SOLLY VAN METER, DEVELOPER OF CHEVY CHASE GARDENS

But today’s graying market, and the family members involved in their senior living choices, also want added security and convenience, Hinchman said, as well as access to increasing levels of care as needed down the road.

Sayre Christian Village offers a full spectrum of senior care options on its 27-acre campus, including assisted living and skilled nursing services, dementia care, and shortterm and outpatient rehabilitation therapy.

The availability of high-quality rehabilitation has been particularly valuable in helping Sayre residents maintain their preferred lifestyles, Hinchman said.

“The benefit is so fantastic for all our residents,” she said. “If they do suffer an injury, they are able to be transported right across campus. They can come to therapy several times a week, and they will be able to stay in

Senior care with small-town appeal Two years ago, Continental Senior Management, managed by Traditions Management, launched its first Lexington-based senior living community, Highgrove at Tates Creek, featuring 89 senior apartments with a la carte access to assisted living services as needed, along with a host of additional resortlike perks, including a full-service salon, spa, exercise classes and restaurant-style dining facilities. In January of this year the company added a new option, freestanding independent living cottages on the property, and the model has proven so popular that the company is now gearing up for the launch of its second Bluegrass facility this spring in Georgetown.

The new development, Ashtongrove Senior Living, has been designed to provide all the care and comfort of high-end senior living with a rural, small-town feel that will make Georgetown residents feel more at home, said Executive Director Davonna Saier. The community even has its own horse barn on the property, and it is working on a potential plan to host equine visitors.

“It’s an incredibly new concept for Georgetown,” Saier said. “We like our back porches here. We like to spread out a little bit more, and the back of our property overlooks a horse farm. … The Georgetown folks love that they will get to keep those gorgeous views and so many of the other things they love about their community.”

Ashtongrove will include 46 independent living cottages on the property, along with a main building to house 60 assisted living apartments and 30 dedicated memory care units, in addition to restaurant-style dining, a beauty salon, movie theater and a chapel suitable for religious services of all denominations. The 1,300-square-foot cottages will feature two bedrooms and two baths, along with fully equipped stainless steel kitchens and one-car garages.

“Instead of downsizing, we refer to it as ‘right-sizing,’” Saier said. “It gives more opportunity to people who would like all the amenities of senior living, but who still want to live independently, and come and go as they please.”

The ability to maintain their independence while taking advantage of resort-like comforts is also leading more seniors to opt in at an earlier age, Saier said.

“We get asked daily what our minimum age is,” she said. “We have people in their mid50s, as well as people in their 60s and 70s. …

They are newly retired and they want that maintenance-free living, where we take care of everything.”

The senior-care industry is swiftly evolving to meet the wide spectrum of needs across the market, and more of today’s seniors are demanding the freedom to choose for themselves, Saier said. Listening to what they want is just as important as providing all the services they need, she added, and there is also plenty of opportunity for service providers to exceed expectations and give today’s senior consumers even more than they ask for.

“As you age, you still want to have just as many choices in life,” Saier said. “In our culture, we have not always honored and cared for our elders the way that we should. I love being able to tell our residents, ‘This is your time. Let’s make it amazing.’” BL

Assisted living communities are defined as a series of living units on the same site certified under KRS 194A.707 to provide services for five or more adult persons not related within the third degree of consanguinity to the owner or manager. Communities must provide assistance with activities of daily living and instrumental activities of daily living and make available three meals and a snack each day, scheduled daily social activities, and assistance with self-administration of medication. Clients may arrange for additional services under direct contract or arrangement with an outside agent, professional, provider, or other individual designated by the client if permitted by the policies of the facility. Who needs assisted living (social model): Assisted living residents are usually seniors who have had a slight decline in health in some way and need assistance performing one or more activities of daily living (ADLs). Seniors who would like to live in a social environment with few responsibilities and a place where care is easily accessible whenever the senior may need it are the type of seniors you will find in an assisted living community.

BizLex Q&A

Whit Whitaker

The Lyric Theatre’s new executive director is no stranger to Lexington’s arts scene.

Here’s how he plans to take one of the city’s most significant venues to new heights.

BY TOM WILMES BUSINESS LEXINGTON

W

hit Whitaker is well known as a performing artist with an expressive tenor singing voice and the talent and versatility to play a wide variety of roles. The Detroit native is also an army veteran, former professional body builder, fitness instructor, and University of Kentucky graduate with a degree in voice and a master’s in arts administration (“Think of it as an MBA for nonprofits,” he says).

Whitaker brings this experience to his latest role as executive director of the Lyric Theatre and Cultural Center, where he oversees the administration and management of

the nonprofit, city-owned facility, including fundraising, programming, community relations and business operations. We spoke with Whitaker about his ambitions for the historic venue, which first opened in 1948 as a movie house and celebrated the ninth anniversary of its 2010 grand reopening with a gala held October 19.

You gave the position a lot of consideration before deciding to apply, correct?

“I did. Actually the executive director position had come open two or three other times since I’ve been in Lexington, and people who knew me before I got into arts administration—who knew me as a performing artist who would usually rent

my own venues, do my own advertising and things like that—would say I should apply,” Whitaker said.

Whitaker was performing and working as choral business director with the Lexington Singers when the search for a new director of the Lyric was launched this past April. He weighed his options and, after a Sunday morning service at Good Shepherd Episcopal Church, decided on a course of action. “I prayed on it, and I said, ‘I’ll go to church and, after the sermon, if I feel like I’m not burdened or anything, I’ll apply.’”

He met several times with the Lyric’s board of directors, and also with Chester Grundy, who had served as interim director.

“He was my biggest champion,” Whitaker said. “He ran minority affairs when I was in college and is a mentor. I flat out asked him, ‘Do you have faith in my ability?’ and he said, ‘Without a doubt.’ That really solidified it for me.”

Building community One of the first things Whitaker did when he started in August was to walk through the East End community and talk with residents to introduce himself and hear their thoughts on how the Lyric should best be utilized. “I’ll do that forever,” he says. He also put out a call to local artists and reached out to other local arts organizations and nonprofits to see where they might collaborate.

“It’s not always just ‘buy these tickets and come see this show.’ I believe that the arts should be used in a more philanthropic way,” Whitaker said. “I’m all about community and reaching out and trying to affect one person at a time. It’s slow, but hopefully somebody sees you’re trying and they will want to help.”

Visually appealing In addition to its historic stage, the renovated Lyric also includes space to host community events as well as two art galleries. “I saw how some of the art was presented and I just didn’t like it. It just didn’t look professional enough,” Whitaker said.

A rail system with cable wiring will soon be installed in both galleries to help protect the integrity of the walls. “It will also afford the artists and the Lyric more creativity in the gallery hangings, because the cables can be different lengths, and we can create some really great visuals,” Whitaker said.

“I want it to be like the Detroit Institute of Arts or the National Museum of AfricanAmerican History & Culture, where there’s a ‘wow’ factor.”

Whitaker is also working to establish a retail space in the mezzanine between the two galleries where lesser-known Kentucky artists, and especially artists from the East End neighborhood, can display and sell their work. He’s also working with

BLX_1-24_1119.indd 19

Community Ventures to acquire several scanners and invite people to bring in their old photos of the neighborhood and its residents and preserve them digitally. “We also thought we could have a projector that’s ongoing and then all these images would just kind of splash on the wall,” he said. “It’s about the stories. If you lose the stories, then you lose the legacy.”

Reaching new heights The Lyric has a long legacy as a hot spot for Lexington’s African-American community, especially during segragation, and was well known throughout the region as favored venue where artists such as Ray Charles, Count Basie and numerous luminaries of the day would perform.

“When I give tours and talk about the history, a lot of people don’t realize how prominent this area was,” Whitaker said.

“You had these African-American businesses and all of these wonderful artists coming and performing on this stage. I want to raise the Lyric to renewed prominence, and I want the money that’s coming in to be used to bring programming that helps bring people back to the community. Opening it up for more diversity and, always keeping an eye on the African-American experience, because that’s what the theater was born from.”

‘Music saved my life’ Whitaker has firsthand experience with the role that the arts can play in enriching both individual lives and the community.

“I grew up poor. We didn’t have much, and there were several times we were homeless. I was dealing with gang members. I got bullied. There’s a lot of adversity that you have to overcome, but you survived through community,” Whitaker said. “I didn’t start singing until sophomore year in high school when I joined the glee club, but then there was this whole other community. We were family and we always watched out for each other.

I graduated No. 2 in my high school class. My senior year, I had five music classes, lunch and gym and I was taking college calculus on the weekends. I’ve also been playing violin since I was 8. So, I think being an introvert, staying out of trouble and learning an instrument … also really helped. I think music saved my life.”

How can others help?

“I invite people to come talk to me. If you have a project that fits with the mission of the Lyric and is viable for the community, then we can sit down and figure out how we can have a mutually beneficial partnership,” Whitaker said. “I want people to know, if nothing else, just come down here. Look at some exhibits. Talk to us. Let me know what you’re thinking and let’s see what we can do.” BL
