NEIGHBORHOOD

Brighton Rail Trail Bridge Update

Mayor Linda Gorton and 6th District Councilmember Lisa Higgins-Hord recently announced that work on the much-anticipated Brighton Rail Trail Bridge has begun. “We’ve been looking forward to this day since 2009, when we started working on this funding. This bridge makes important connections to trails and neighborhoods,” Mayor Linda Gorton said. The 280-foot bridge, which is expected to be completed next summer, will connect rail trails east and west of Man O’ War Boulevard, spanning the road between Liquor Barn and the Brighton Place Shoppes. Once the bridge is complete, the trail will stretch 4.5 miles, traveling through the Liberty Park and Hamburg neighborhoods to the west, and the Andover Forest neighborhood to the east. Once the bridge is complete, the trail will connect to bike lanes on Liberty Road, a shared-use trail in Liberty Park, and a trail connecting the Gleneagles neighborhood. The driving factors for the construction of the federally funded $2.8 million bridge have been safety and connectivity.

Lisa Higgins-Hord, 6th District Councilmember, shared her first monthly newsletter in September.

Will’s Egg Service BY ELISABETH JENSEN

Evans Mill Cattle Co. & Kangal Dogs announced the launch of an egg delivery service beginning in October. “COVID 19 has wreaked havoc on all of us. The last 6 months has probably been the toughest many of us have had to endure. It has also given us the opportunity to evaluate our lives and our priorities. It has given us more time with our families and also challenged us to think outside the box and find new ways to connect with our community and add value to our lives. Trying to keep a teenager like Will engaged over the last six months has not been easy. We discovered one thing he really enjoys are his chickens and one thing he really needs is

structure. We ordered more chickens, giving Will more work. Outschool had a really basic “Raising Chickens 101” online class he loved. We quickly outgrew the hen house and ordered an amazing mobile, solar powered, chicken house and after months of preparing, the eggs are rolling! We also learned during this time that local food is important to people, as is delivery service and convenience. I am proud to announce Will’s egg delivery service will begin on Thursday, October 1st. You can subscribe for $25.00 per month and receive eggs once a week or $12.50 and receive eggs every other week. We will also be establishing a pick up location in Lexington soon. You can learn more or order your eggs at evansmillcattleco.com/shop/

On the Soapbox Buff City Soap opens in Hamburg

uff City Soap made it their mission to create handmade products free of artificial ingredients and harsh chemicals and that they did. The new soapery, which recently opened in Hamburg, offers all natural, 100% plant-based bath products. Buff City Soap’s first Lexington location opened in Hamburg at the end of September. (Another is scheduled to open on the Summit side of town later this Fall.) From bath bombs to shower fizzies, body butters to face creams, shave soaps to beard oils, Buff City products offers a natural approach to skin care. Every product sold is handmade locally in that store. The production process is quick and offers customers a little bit of interactive retail theatre with each purchase. Buff City’s goal is to be all natural and that’s apparent in the products. Soap bars are packed with ingredients like gardenia petals, lemon zest, shea butter, charcoal, and tea tree oil. Products can be customized with the scent and ingredients of choice. With soap as their claim to fame, the company carries other products from body butter and body scrubs to bath bombs, shampoo bars, and even shower fizzies,

which are basically bath bombs for the shower. Of course, Buff City couldn’t forget about the guys. There is an entire men’s line featuring beard oil and beard balm. There is also a kid’s line and pup soap, if you don’t want to leave your pooch out of the all-natural trend. Their laundry collection features soap and wool dryer balls, all made without artificial ingredients or chemicals. Customers can also be creative with facial products like a make-your-own clay mask service.

In Memory Dorothy B. Hart G

“

reenbrier Golf Club announced the passing of Dorothy B. Hart:

10 hamburgjournal.com | October 2020

Mrs. Hart leaves behind her two sons, William M. (Morrie) Hart, Jr. and Larry Hart, who continue the legacy as owner operators of the family Club, as well as a daughter Linda Hart Cochran. Her legacy also includes five grandchildren, all of whom are current or former employees of the Club, as well as nine great-grandchildren, many of whom are just beginning to take up the game of golf and enjoy everything the Club has to offer.

“

With deep sadness, but great admiration and appreciation, we announce the passing of Dorothy B. Hart who was one of the driving forces behind the establishment of Greenbrier Golf & Country Club. Mrs. Hart passed away peacefully in Lexington on September 4, under the care of hospice at the age of 92. A former English teacher and stickler for details, Mrs. Hart spent many years in the family business working shifts in the golf shop late into the 1990’s. With her attention to detail, she was a stalwart in proofing Greenbrier’s publications and newsletters regarding upcoming events at the Club. One of Mrs. Hart’s greatest joys was watching over the Club from her poolside apartment and recognizing the many families who enjoyed and appreciated all of the Club’s amenities.

Greenbrier‘s staff wishes the entire Hart family a sense of peace as we reflect and appreciate all that Mr. & Mrs. Hart helped to create over the past fifty years! In acknowledgment of Mrs. Hart’s passing, contributions are encouraged to the Children’s Charity Fund of the Bluegrass, 300 West Vine Street, Suite 800, Lexington, KY 40507.

Home Baked Henry Clay freshman starts his own bread business BY KRISTINA ROSEN

aking homemade bread was once a popular pandemic pastime, yet no one seemed to be as successful in turning this trend into an enterprise quite like Clint Corkran. The 14-year-old, Henry Clay freshman launched his own made-from-scratch bread business, Clint’s Home Baked Bread. “A friend made a passing remark about selling the bread because it was so good,” he says. “It turns out she wasn’t serious, but I took her seriously. And now I’m selling a ton of bread.” Inspired by a recipe given to him, Corkran tweaked the white-flour artisan bread, received his homebased processing license, and began his own business. It took about a month to receive his license, which gives him the permission to bake and sell bread from his home. Juggling the new normal of online school while baking two loaves of bread a day, he admits online school has been helpful for integrating his business and baking schedule with his education.

The application process was seriously specific. He explains, “It asked for the address of my house, and if I knew the exact GPS coordinates? As if suddenly it turns out my bread is making tons of people sick and they called in the SWAT team or something? And they need to know the exact coordinates to drop an attack helicopter? I don’t know, that seemed funny to me.” When tweaking the recipe, Corkran did a trial run with six neighbors. He delivered bread with handwritten notes saying, “Hey, I’m going to experiment with a business. Would you like to get a free loaf of bread? All you have to do is fill out this survey.” With five responses in return, two of those people ended up being his first two customers who now want a weekly subscription. Corkran plans to develop a subscription system where customers can choose to receive a loaf of bread on specific days each week, biweekly, or once a month, depending on their preference. He offers one type of bread,

which is baked in the evenings and delivered shortly after. “About 15 minutes after the bread is done, it’s on someone’s porch. I like to have it delivered fresh and warm.” Orders can be placed through email and paid through PayPal, with delivery available to areas in close proximity to the Kenwick / Henry Clay neighborhood of Lexington. “All the craziness going on —and all this stuff I can’t control — it’s nice to have something that is just that simple,” he says. “Like a warm loaf of bread.”

He adds, “Just to be able to sit down every day and put a loaf of bread in the oven, having something I can control and knowing whoever it is going to is going to enjoy it too.” Although he’s always loved to be in control and create, he claims not to be artistic. He just turned his creativity toward organizing and setting up systems, into making a business.

Off the Beaten Path

Boonedogs to open in the neighborhood

idden off the beaten path along Old Richmond Road once sat Judyray Food Mart, a neighborhood convenience store in 1978. The former neighborhood store now prepares to open as Boonedogs, a new specialty hot dog and artisan sausage restaurant concept. Co-owners Hill and Charlotte Boone live in the area and know that the neighborhood wants and needs convenience. Hill grew up going to Judyray and watched it evolve into several different convenience store concepts before deciding to buy the land himself. He adds, “It’s always been a community piece for us living close by.” He bought the vacant location about two years ago, unsure of what the concept would be, but planned to stick with the tradition of a fun neighborhood spot. Hill found the right concept and partner in Tim Jones, who came up with the idea of specialty hot dogs and sausages. Jones’s wife, Jessica, is also co-owner. The new restaurant, Boonedogs, will do double duty as a convenience store selling pre-packed sausages, grab-and-go menu items, cases of alcohol, and hand selected Kentucky Proud products. “We’ll talk with neighbors, see what they want, and try to carry it as well,” says Jones. The creative menu of Boonedogs will explore different types of wild game sausages like wild boar, pheasant, and venison. There will be vegetarian and vegan options as well as salads. Wyatt Sarbacker, who recently opened his own restaurant concept in downtown, was in charge of the menu. He focused on bringing unique regional products together in a fun and familiar format. “We want to make sure if you’re working on the farm and you want a great hardy lunch, we’re there for you; if you want to drive your family out after Jacobson Park, or coming off the trail at Raven Run, we’re there for that meal as well,” says Jones.

The interior space will receive a fresh, casual makeover, but the exterior will remain blue and grey, as a nod to the past. Restaurant designer Rebecca Burnworth was in charge of the interior design while her restaurant builder husband, Eric Burnworth, was in charge of the interior construction. “A guiding force to think about was the word frontier, and to come up with something fun and modern, but honor what it was,” says Burnworth. “The team was always on the same page with every detail. With so many great creatives, you can’t help to have a good project with it.” Over the past several months, Boonedogs has had the luxury to adapt to any new changes within the restaurant industry brought on by the pandemic. “We’re making decisions on the fly towards how the industry has been forced to adapt to the new dining out scene,” adds Jones. The team has added a covered patio deck and streamlined the online ordering process. The building features garage-style doors that raise, with one to be used as a pickup window for to-go orders. There is about an acre of green space for ample outdoor seating options. Situated on the corner of Old Richmond Road and Jacks Creek pike, there is more traffic in that area than most realize, yet there really isn’t a quick, convenient store nearby. While Boonedogs is more than a convenience store, the heart and soul of Judyray’s will not be lost with the new concept. “There’s a lot of history with that convenience store,” Jones adds. Boonedogs is located at 5902 Old Richmond Road, near Jacks Creek Pike, opening soon.

I currently have two kids (dogs) that I completely adore named Luna Bell and Lucy.”

SPONSORED FEATURE

Take Back Your Garage

he goal of the Garage Solutions of Central Kentucky team is to help homeowners transform their garage into a more attractive, organized, functional space. Owners Toni and Butch Davis and their installation team enjoy the interaction with homeowners in discussing options that best suit their unique needs and installing storage solutions in their garage that are right for them. Most of us appreciate the garage for the space it provides for equipment and supplies, such as rakes, shovels, ladders, gardening tools, golf clubs, bikes, and balls. However, as time goes on, the garage may also become a place where we store additional items, such as bulky or off-season items, household supplies, or an extra refrigerator. Soon, there is not enough space to park cars in the garage. During Butch’s initial conversation with homeowners, many express their dissatisfaction with the appearance and over-abundance of items stored

in their garage. Subsequently Butch meets with the homeowners to measure their garage and discuss their specific needs and storage options. Butch designs one or more layout options with appropriate storage solutions, consults with the homeowner to make adjustments, provides a quote, and schedules the installation. A popular first step in the garage transformation is the installation of the epoxychipped flooring to turn the garage floor into an attractive, durable, easy-tomaintain floor. Customized cabinets are often added to organize items and keep them out of sight. Homeowners can also select from a variety of shelving systems and bars to store, hang and/or layer items on walls. For garages with high ceilings, overhead racks can store bulky or seldom-used items, including seasonal items like Christmas

decorations, getting them off the garage floor. The most common reactions we receive from customers afterwards are: “Wow.” “This is so much better than we ever imagined!” “Now we can find things.” “The garage looks so neat.” “I enjoy walking through the garage now.” “We didn’t have much of a clutter problem, we just wanted to come home and pull

into a beautiful, jaw-dropping garage instead of a dirty, drab, boring box.” Let Garage Solutions help you transform your garage beyond your imagination!

The vacuum leaf collection program is a supplement to the City’s year-round yard waste options.

More than 5,000 9-inch and 12inch mums have been delivered to Diamond Pond/Kentucky Garden and Fountain in our neighborhood (4400 Athens Boonesboro Road).

Do you have a large evergreen tree that you want removed from your property? If so, consider donating it for the city to use for Lexington’s holiday season celebration. City officials will evaluate all trees and select two for the city Christmas trees. If your tree is chosen, the City and Kentucky Utilities will coordinate with the property owner to remove it in early November. There’s no financial compensation, however removal of the tree and stump grinding is free. The chosen trees will be placed in Triangle Park and in front of the KU building on Quality Street. They will be decorated and lit Friday, November 27, as part of Luminate Lexington

presented by Kentucky Utilities. The trees need to meet the following guidelines: • 40 to 50-feet high • 20 to 25-feet wide • Be a Norway spruce; Colorado blue spruce; or a Douglas fir • Have a pyramidal shape, with fullness especially at the bottom • The body of the tree should have few or no holes • The tree should not be growing into houses or into other trees • Access must be provided with clearance of at least 10 feet in width, with no power lines growing in the trees • There should be no other obstacles, such as buildings that may prevent access • Must be able to back a low-boy trailer up to the tree and place KU trucks on either side. Property owners should call LexCall at 311 or Victoria Hamm at 859.277-8703 if they want to donate a tree.
