The Hamburg Journal is happy to provide the following business-related news from our area:

Lexington Clinic Sleep Center is proud to announce

OCST accreditation

The Lexington Clinic Sleep Center has earned Out of

Center Sleep Testing (OCST) accreditation from the

American Academy of Sleep Medicine (AASM).

Earning OCST accreditation exhibits that sleep profes-

sionals offer “broader options to patients, while demon-

strating a commitment to quality diagnostic services,” ac-

cording to the AASM. Sleep facilities that earn the AASM

accreditation make evident that the highest standards of

quality care is provided to their patients.

“We are very pleased to have earned this accreditation

recognizing our sleep center. Lexington Clinic is patient-

focused and dedicated to quality, compassionate and

comprehensive care. The OCST accreditation shows pa-

tients and the community our commitment to providing

the best in healthcare delivery,” said Andrew H. Hender-

son, MD, Lexington Clinic CEO.

Since 1977, AASM accreditation has been the gold stan-

dard by which the medical community and the public

evaluate sleep medicine services. The evolution of por-

table diagnostic technology used outside the sleep cen-

ter and recent policies related to out of center testing has

shaped the diagnosis of patients with sleep apnea. In Feb-

ruary of 2011, the AASM began accrediting sleep facilities

for Out of Center Sleep Testing for adult patients.

For more information about the Lexington Clinic Sleep

Center, call 859.258.4NAP(4627).

Lexington Clinic is Central Kentucky’s oldest and larg-

est group practice, with more than 225 providers offer-

ing primary and specialty care services. Founded in 1920,

Lexington Clinic offers more than 30 specialties and op-

erates offices in more than 30 locations throughout Cen-

tral and Eastern Kentucky. For more information about

Chris McCarron named grand marshal of parade

Chris McCarron, hall of fame jockey and executive direc-

tor of the North American Racing Academy,. has been

named the grand marshal of the 34th Annual Alltech Lex-

ington St. Patrick’s Parade to be held on Saturday, March

16, in downtown Lexington.

In naming him, the Bluegrass Irish Society board said,

“Chris is a world-class athlete and a world-class person.

He typifies all that is good about our Irish culture. Among

his many achievements is the Mike Venezia Memorial

Award for ‘extraordinary sportsmanship and citizenship’.”

Although retired from racing, Chris remains a significant

contributor to the thoroughbred industry. His contribu-

tions are legend. In addition to winning the Kentucky

Derby and the Preakness on Alysheba, McCarron has

four other Triple Crown victories, nine Breeders’ Cup

victories and has won virtually every major race in

North America. After 28 years in racing, he retired as

the all-time leader in purse earnings with more than $264

million in winnings.

Among his other accomplishments, McCarron served as

technical advisor, racing designer and actor in the film

Seabiscuit; co-founded the Don MacBeth Memorial Jock-

ey Fund which assists disabled jockeys and their families;

Eclipse awards and was inducted into the National Racing

Hall of Fame in his first year of eligibility.


Chatting with Cory

This month’s “Chatting with Christy” col-umn is coming to you with a twist. Over the past few weeks Christy has been multi-tasking in extreme mode because of a new challenge. I, Cory Stucker, her dear and lov-ing husband, had surgery this month and have been completely useless. In fact, one might say that I have become a full-time job. Christy has taken on the project of nursing me back to health in stride.

Throughout my recovery, Christy and I have been “chatting” (pun intended). Popular topics include her upcoming visit to the Ap-palachian Children’s Home (she has such a heart ACH!) and the new opportunity to be the spokeswoman of BeLoved Lexington (she is ecstatic!).

Christy has also mentioned several possible topics for the next “Chatting with Christy” column for the Hamburg Journal. I saw a guest writing opportunity in the making (self-serving as it may seem) to “help” ac-complish her next article, therefore leaving more time for Christy to take care of me.

My point? I think Christy’s “Chatting” read-ers should know what it is really like to “chat” with Christy. Here is the CliffsNotes version

(or Cory’s notes if you will).

I met Christy on March 7, 1997. She was coming up a staircase as I was coming down and I knew instantly she was someone I wanted to know. True more now than ever (16 years later), when Christy enters a room she is immediately the focus. She stands gorgeous with the face of a doll at 5’10”(ac-tually usually 6’2” because of her 4-inch sti-lettos) with short blonde hair and the most beautiful blue eyes I’ve ever seen. My Mrs. is a unique Kentucky beauty.

In conversation you are going to notice that she is genuinely interested in learning your story. Every interaction is an interview to Christy. She will listen intently and is care-ful with the words she chooses in response.

Expect the unexpected as she loves to laugh. She thinks like no one I have ever met. Christy’s personality exudes warmth. She is a person on your side and trusts wholeheart-edly. You will notice that she has the ability to make you feel like the only person in the room. She will agree to disagree with you on lots of topics as her convictions are strong.

Pauses in conversations aren’t awkward but comfortable with Christy. She will be the first to tell you she isn’t perfect. The depth of her empathy is equally matched by her sharp wit. She is the first to laugh at herself. Ask Christy about formally introducing her hub-by to Reynaldo (which actually happened to be Wasfi) made only more hilarious by the fact that she knows Wasfi too. Yeah, that happened this year ... in public!

With all of this said, I hope you have a chance to meet the girl of my dreams. I tru-ly mean that. When you’re out and about in Hamburg and you see us and want to intro-duce yourself, please do. She is a remarkable person you want to know. I welcome it. Now you know.

– Cory Stucker

Fayette Heating & Air presented a check of over $4,500 to Komen Lexington as part of its “Giving Back” program.

The “Giving Back” program was initiated by Fayette Heating & Air in 2012 as a way to consistently give back to the

community. Fayette Heating & Air has two custom “wrapped” residential service vans. One van wrapped in pink

represents Komen Lexington and the other, wrapped in yellow, for the Lexington Humane Society. Ten percent of

the proceeds of each van are given back to the charity each quarter. Fayette Heating & Air has committed to these

two worthy organizations for a five-year period. “It’s a way for us to consistently give back to Komen Lexington and

the Lexington Humane Society. If you need service and one of these vans make your service call, you’re making a

donation!” said Bret Melrose, president of Fayette Heating & Air. “At the end of the five years, we hope to donate over

$100,000. That helps find a cure!” Fayette Heating & Air is headquartered in Lexington, KY and since 1971 has been

serving the HVAC, heating and cooling needs of Central Kentucky. The Lexington Affiliate of Susan G. Komen for

the Cure® is dedicated to combating breast cancer at every front. Up to 75 percent of the Affiliate’s net income goes

toward funding grants to local Kentucky hospitals and community organizations in a 58 county area, providing breast

health education and breast cancer screening and treatment programs for medically underserved women.

To All Our Valued Customers, Readers & Friends,

Easter eggs are special eggs that are often given to cel-ebrate Easter or springtime. Easter eggs are common during Eastertide as they symbolize the empty tomb of Jesus.Though an egg appears to be like the stone of a tomb, a bird hatches from it with life; similarly, the Easter egg, for Christians, is a reminder that Jesus rose from the grave, and that those who believe will also experience eternal life.

This month’s cover feature is NorthEast Christian Church, inviting everyone to come worship Easter Sunday, March 31. Also in March, there will be tons

of fun for the kids with a Easter Treasure Hunt March 23. For the gown-ups, learn about creating a “healthy organizational culture” up close with Andy Stanley and Craig Groeschel. All this and more on page 15 inside.

Be sure and thumb through this edition and check out the many festivities in and around the area celebrating the season, and the many area businesses with a lot of sensational services and products.

As always, thank you for your continued support! Have a great March

Sincerely,

Teresa Murphy | Publisher

Mary Ellen Slone, or MES as she is best known, brings her outside-of–the-box think-ing and creative talent to Rainmaker Ad-vertising, complementing the local-agency’s already strong reputation for success.

With the encouragement of her mentor, Warren Rosenthal (who was once her ‘boss’ at Jerrico’s in-house marketing group) Slone founded “MER Advertising” a one-woman marketing boutique, 25+ years ago. Sub-sequently, under the name of Meridian Communications, she guided that agency into being recognized as one of the leading creative shops in the region.

At the same time, Slone has been vitally involved with a significant list of not-for-profit entities, to which she has contributed her time and energy – and shared the talents, pro-bono, of her then agency team. She has chaired the boards of the Lexington Cham-ber of Commerce, the Lexington Humane Society, the Lexington Philharmonic Orches-tra, Moveable Feast, the Lexington Philhar-

monic Ball and several other not-for-profit entities. As a breast cancer survivor, she was part of the first committee to bring the Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure event to Lexington. She was commended for being a pioneer in establishing a downtown daycare facility for young children whose parents worked for her company. Her proudest achievement? Having created, early in her career, the “Have You Hugged Your Kid Today?” public service campaign for the Commonwealth of Kentucky. According to Slone: “ That campaign was a true ‘labor of love’ ... and even today, when I mention “Kid”- you’d be surprised how many people can still sing the words to the sound track: “Have you sent him on his way, with LOVE, LOVE, LOVE?”

Mary Ellen is a member of both her high school and the UK School of Journalism Hall of Fame; she has served on the 5th Dis-trict Federal Reserve Board under Chair-man Greenspan and is currently on the Republic Bank Board.

Mary Ellen is a certified crisis management counselor, and as such, has worked with several local/regional entities on reputa-tional management messaging – bringing her training “‘to the table” during a situation which affects the business and/or personal reputation of an organization.

Rainmaker Advertising’s founder, Don Os-chwald, said Mary Ellen’s distinctive creativity speaks for itself. She and her former Merid-

ian team created stellar work for such clients as Toyota Motor Manufacturing (from ground breaking ceremonies through many years of celebratory events); Tempur-Pedic, Lexmark International, Commerce Lex-ington, Ball Homes, the Webb Companies, Republic Bank, Lexington Clinic, Fazoli’s, Bella Notte, Castle Post, and for several colleges and departments at the University of Kentucky.

“Mary Ellen’s analytical mind, her creativity, and her enthusiasm for the communications industry bring a very unique perspective to our agency,” Oschwald said. “We’re excited to have her as a partner, and we look forward to having fun while growing our business together.”

More than 30 of the state’s top musicians and musical acts will play on the Kentucky Stage March 2-3 at the Lexington Conven-tion Center, just one of many arts events in conjunction with Kentucky Crafted: The Market.

Kentucky Crafted: The Market is the Ken-tucky Arts Council’s annual state-centric fine art and craft showcase featuring thou-sands of handcrafted items created by the commonwealth’s best artists.

Located right inside the entrance to the event, the Kentucky Stage features two full days of musical performances by some of the most well-known and exciting music performers from around the state.

“The Kentucky Stage is essentially a two-day music festival that gives us an opportunity to showcase performing artists in the state at Kentucky Crafted: The Market,” said Lori Meadows, arts council executive director. “The market features the best of Kentucky art and craft. The stage features the best in Kentucky music. All forms of Kentucky art and artists are celebrated during the event,

and we hope the public will join in the cel-ebration.”

The sounds of bluegrass, Celtic, blues, pop, world and more will delight music fans at the event. Kentucky Stage performers are:

MaRch 2• Carla Van Hoose and the Kentucky Traveler Band

• Richard Goering • Mitch Barrett • Arthur Hatfield and Buck Creek • Hog Operation • Northern Kentucky Brotherhood • Stirfry Musette • Appalatin

MaRch 3• LaMay & Reese

• Kyle Meadows with Tisa McGraw • Greg Schaber • Reel World String Band • OSLANDAILEY Duo • Heath & Molly • No Tools Loaned

All performers are adjudicated participants in the arts council’s Performing Arts Direc-tory. Concerts run from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturday and 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Sunday. All concerts are included with the price of ad-mission to The Market. Advance tickets are on sale until Feb. 27. One-day tickets are $8 online; $10 at the door. Two-day tickets are $12 online; $15 at the door. Children 15 and younger are admitted free with an adult.

To purchase tickets, or for more informa-tion about the Kentucky Stage or Kentucky Crafted: The Market, visit artscouncil.ky.gov/KentuckyArt/2013Market.htm. The Kentucky Arts Council, the state arts agen-cy, creates opportunities for Kentuckians to value, participate in and benefit from the arts. Kentucky Arts Council funding is pro-vided by the Kentucky General Assembly and the National Endowment for the Arts.

On March 7, the North Lexington Family

YMCA will host the LIVESTRONG® at the

YMCA Benefit Luncheon from 11:30 a.m.

to 1 p.m. The luncheon will celebrate the

LIVESTRONG at the YMCA program and

the cancer survivors who have participated

since the program’s inception in 2011.

The event will also include a silent auc-

tion, with proceeds benefitting the North

Lexington Family YMCA’s annual Giving

Campaign. Those funds support the Y’s

“Open Doors” financial assistance program,

which ensures that no one is turned away

from Y membership or programs due to

inability to pay.

The luncheon will include a casual lunch

menu, a short program highlighting the

LIVESTRONG at the YMCA program,

and the silent auction. Tickets are $15 per

person and may be purchased in advance

at any YMCA of Central Kentucky location

or online at ymcaofcentralky.org/register-programs. Please RSVP to: Hope Sizemore [email protected] at the YMcaThe Y and LIVESTRONG® joined together to create LIVESTRONG® at the YMCA, a physical activity and well-being program designed to help adult cancer survivors achieve their holistic health goals. In ad-dition to physical benefits, LIVESTRONG at the YMCA focuses on the emotional well-being of survivors and their families by providing a supportive community where people impacted by cancer can connect during treatment and beyond. The YMCA of Central Kentucky has become a part of a community of cancer survivors and their families since implementing the program in July 2011. The Y provides free 3-month

memberships to all of the survivors and their families during their participation in the program in an effort to support the whole family in their pursuit of health and well-being.

OpEN DOORSAt the Y, no one is denied a chance to participate in programs or membership because of an inability to pay. Additionally, membership and program fees do not cover all the costs associated with vital commu-nity programs the Y provides, like LIVES-TRONG at the YMCA.

In order to meet these needs, the YMCA invites its members, community individu-als and businesses to participate in the Y’s annual Giving Campaign that supports the

financial assistance program.

NTR LAWN CARE, INC.

Lexington Center Corporation has

announced the launch of its three

redesigned websites: www.lexingtoncenter.

com, www.rupparena.com and www.

lexingtonoperahouse.com.

“This is a day that we have long anticipated;

we are excited to unveil our newly

redesigned websites, which have been

under construction for the past 12 months.

The new sites are more user-friendly,

interactive and visually dynamic and we

look forward to providing this enhanced

online experience to patrons, promoters

and meeting planners alike,” said CEO and

President Bill Owen. “We think our patrons

will enjoy exploring the new sites through

a fun online and on-site launch promotion

we are sponsoring. It’s easy to enter and

one lucky participant will win an incredible

grand prize.”

Designed by carbonhouse, a design firm

that specializes in venue websites, the new

sites are aimed at showcasing the many

events taking place at Lexington Center’s

five venues, while simultaneously serving

the needs of patrons, meeting planners and

promoters. The sites will be an important

resource for all these user groups, with

new features that include unique custom

designs and easy navigation between

venues, integration with social media such

as Twitter, Facebook, Instagram and RSS,

comprehensive interactive calendars, maps

and seating diagrams and mobile versions

of each website.

In celebration of the new sites, and as an

incentive to encourage patrons to visit

them, the Lexington Center is announcing

an exciting FIND YOUR SEAT promotional

giveaway starting Friday, February 22 and

running through March 22, 2013.

The grand prize for the promotion is

two tickets to every public ticketed event

(including basketball) at each of the

Lexington Center venues, Rupp Arena,

Lexington Opera House and Lexington

Convention Center, for one calendar year

starting April 1, 2013 through April 1, 2014.

There are two ways to enter: Patrons may

come to the Lexington Center and find

one of the three seat platforms located in

high-traffic locations. They must take their

photo seated in one of the seats, send in

the photo via Twitter or Instagram using

the hashtag #FindYourSeat. The photo

will be uploaded to the websites and they

will automatically be entered to win. No

purchase is necessary however, all entrants

must be 18 years or older to qualify.

A second way to enter the FIND YOUR

SEAT promotion is to visit any one of the

three new websites and locate the seat icon

hidden within the pages of each. Once

located, visitors can click on the icon, which

will link to an entry form. No purchase is

necessary however all entrants must be 18

years or older to qualify. One winner will

be announced on April 2, 2013.

The Lexington Center is a sports,

entertainment and convention complex

located in the heart of downtown

Lexington, Kentucky. Five venues make up

the Lexington Center: Rupp Arena (home

of the University of Kentucky Wildcats); the

130,000 square-foot Lexington Convention

Center; the historic Lexington Opera

House; the Shops at Lexington Center,

featuring locally owned boutiques; and

Triangle Park, an inviting space renowned

A Kentucky Writers’ Day planning guide is available as a free download from the Kentucky Arts Council for schools, libraries, municipalities, community and faith-based organizations, local govern-ments, businesses, the media and other community groups to plan celebrations for Kentucky Writers’ Day.

Kentucky Writers’ Day is an annual event that celebrates the commonwealth’s strong literary tradition and the anniversary of the birth of Kentucky native Robert Penn Warren, the first poet laureate of the United States and winner of three Pulitzer Prizes.

“The writers who have built the state’s rich literary history are the reason Kentucky is recognized as an important contributor to the literary arts on the international stage,” said Lori Meadows, arts council executive director. “Kentucky

Writers’ Day is an excellent opportunity for residents of the commonwealth to celebrate the writers who live and work in their own hometowns, and our planning guide can help.”

This year’s event will be April 24 at 11 a.m. in the Capitol Rotunda in Frankfort, and features the induction of the next state poet laureate. April 24 is designated as Kentucky Writers’ Day by the Kentucky General Assembly. The date is the birthday of Warren, from Guthrie, Ky., who had the rare distinction of winning Pulitzer Prizes for fiction as well as poetry.

The free planning guide is online at http://1.usa.gov/KWDplanguide and contains suggested activities appropriate for different groups, publicity ideas and cross-promotional opportunities with the arts council to make Kentucky Writers’ Day a statewide event.

Fayette Heating & Air presented a check of over $3,500 to The Lexington Humane Society as part of its “Giving Back”

program. The “Giving Back” program was initiated by Fayette Heating & Air in 2012 as a way to consistently give

back to the community. Fayette Heating & Air has two custom “wrapped” residential service vans. One van wrapped

in yellow represents the Lexington Humane Society and the other, wrapped in pink, for Komen Lexington. 10% of

the proceeds of each van are given back to the charity each quarter. Fayette Heating & Air has committed to these

two worthy organizations for a five year period. “It’s a way for us to consistently give back to the Lexington Humane

Society and Komen Lexington. If you need service and one of these vans make your service call, you’re making a

donation!” said Bret Melrose, president of Fayette Heating & Air. “At the end of the 5 years, we hope to donate over

$100,000. Those funds will help lots of animals!” Fayette Heating & Air is headquartered in Lexington, KY and since

1971 has been serving the HVAC, heating and cooling needs of Central Kentucky. The Lexington Humane Society

advocates the compassionate treatment of animals; educates the community on responsible, lifelong pet ownership;

and promotes adoption as the best option when searching for a new pet. They are a non-profit humane agency

completely reliant upon private donations and community support.

There are many health benefits of omega-3 fatty acids. Research shows

that the omega-3s EPA and DHA can boost heart health and lower triglycerides, and that omega-3 fatty acids may help with conditions such as rheumatoid arthritis, depression, just to name a few. But just what are omega-3 fatty acids and how much do you need? And what do all those abbrevia-tions -- EPA, DHA, and ALA -- really mean?

OMEGa-3 FaTTY acIDS: BaSIcSOmega-3 fatty acids are considered essential fatty acids which are needed for our bodies to work effectively. These essential fatty acids are not produced in the body and are derived from our diet.

There are several types of omega-3 fatty acids. Two crucial ones — EPA and DHA — are primarily found in certain fish, such as anchovies, bluefish, herring, mackerel, salmon (wild has more omega-3s than farmed), sardines, sturgeon, lake trout, and tuna. Plants like flax contain ALA, an omega-3 fatty acid that is partially converted into DHA and EPA in the body. Algae oil often provides only DHA. Experts say that DHA and EPA — from fish and fish oil — have better established health benefits than ALA. DHA and EPA are found together only in fatty fish and algae. DHA can also be found on its own in algae, while flaxseed and plant sources of omega-3s provide ALA -- a precursor to EPA and DHA, and a source of energy.Good food sources of ALA — which is con-verted into omega-3 fatty acids in the body — include walnuts, flax and flaxseed oil, canola oil, olive oil, and soybean oil. While foods containing omega-3 fatty acids have health benefits, some, like oils and nuts, can be high in calories, and should be eaten in

moderation.

Omega-3s have a number of health benefits. Here are just a few:• help control hunger. Omega 3s helps you feel fuller longer and decrease carbohydrate cravings.• promote a healthy metabolism. Omega 3s help maintain a steady metabolism and gives your body the boost it needs to get rid of unwanted, excess body fat.• carry good fat soluble vitamins. Es-sential fatty acids are good transporters of the fat soluble vitamins (A,D,E,K) which are necessary for proper vision and healthy bones and muscles.• Protect and insulate vital organs. Good fat is needed to act as a cushion and help insulate and protect vital organs.• Cardiovascular health. Omega-3 fatty ac-ids appear to lower the overall risk of death from heart disease. • Rheumatoid arthritis. Fish oil supple-ments (EPA+DHA) significantly reduce stiffness and joint pain. Omega-3 supple-ments also seem to boost the effectiveness of anti-inflammatory drugs.• Depression. Researchers have found that consuming foods with high levels of omega-3s may decrease levels of depression and help reduce the depressive symptoms of bipolar disorder. • prenatal health. Studies show that EPA and DHA supplementation during pregnan-cy boosts the health of pregnant women and the visual and neurological development in infants. • asthma. A diet high in omega 3s reduces inflammation, a key component in asthma.

OMEGa-3 FaTTY acIDS: QuIcK TIpS• Try to get omega-3 fatty acids from foods rather than supplements, when possible

• Choose the right fish. Some fish, includ-ing wild swordfish, tilefish and shark, are more likely to have higher levels of mercury, PCBs, or other toxins. Farm-raised fish of any type may also have higher levels of con-taminants. Children and pregnant women should avoid these fish entirely. Others should eat no more than 7 ounces of these fish a week. Smaller fish, like wild trout and wild salmon, are safer.• Consider eating more free-range poultry and beef. Free-range animals have much higher levels of omega-3s than typical, grain-fed animals.• Consider a supplement like fish oil cap-sules or algae oil. Fish oil contains both EPA and DHA. Algae oil contains DHA and may be a good option for those not tolerant to fish or for vegetarians.• Talk to your doctor before using a supple-ment. Before you start using any supple-ment, have a discussion with your doctor. He or she may have specific recommenda-tions, or warnings, depending on your health and other medications that may be prescribed.
