Northlander is face of ‘sandwich’ generation Denise Littrell is taking care of 3 generations of family members By Angie Anaya Borgedalen Mention the word “sandwich” to Northlander Denise Littrell and she does not immediately think pastrami on rye. Littrell, 52, is part of what has become known as the “sandwich generation” because she is taking care of children, grandchildren and an elderly mother with Alzheimer’s disease. Melissa Moran, executive director of Senior Helpers in Gladstone, said Littrell is not alone. As the population ages, more families are finding themselves caring for several generations. “It’s typically the oldest daughter who becomes the caregiver,” Moran said. November is National Alzheimer’s Disease Awareness Month. According to Moran, it is estimated that thousands of people in the Kansas City metropolitan area have Alzheimer’s. She said the progressive brain disorder results in loss of memory and other functions

Extension office honors master gardener for teaching skills to youth in Gladstone
Hillcrest supporters
By Kevin M. Smith When it came time to fulfill her master gardener duties, Debbie Johnson wasn’t afraid to get her hands dirty. Johnson, a Holt resident, was named the University of Missouri Extension Clay County Master Gardner of the Year. Johnson’s volunteerism to teach youth to garden earned her that distinction. “I was very honored to receive it,” Johnson said. She volunteered as an educator with the Garden ‘n Grow summer program, teaching gardening to children ages 9 to 13. The garden and classroom space was located at Fairview Christian Church in Gladstone, drawing children from that town and throughout Clay County. “Hopefully it will turn some of the youngsters into lifelong gardeners,” Johnson said. Johnson has committed herself to lifelong gardening. It started small, always keeping house plants around and sometimes growing produce like tomatoes. When she moved onto 10 acres in Holt, it was an opportunity for Johnson to grow a bigger vegetable garden, which required a bit more expertise than she had. Wanting to learn more about gardening and wanting to find ways to

Students and teachers work in the Garden ‘n Grow garden at Fairview Christian Church in Gladstone this past summer. Debbie Johnson of Holt was named the University of Missouri Extension Clay County Master Gardner of the Year for her work with youth at this summer program to teach gardening skills.
Above, guests at Hillcrest Transitional Housing’s 2012 Northland Gala & Auction look over silent auction items. The event, held at Westin Crown Center on Oct. 13, raised more than $150,000 for the organization, which helps homeless families become self-reliant. Below, former television personality Katie Horner serves as emcee for the gala. More than 600 people attended the event.
give back to the community prompted Johnson to enroll in a master gardener course. “The two just matched,” Johnson said. Among the requirements for a master gardener is to volunteer. For Johnson, some of that included answering phones for the extension office’s gardening hotline. But some of it was getting matched up with another program. Johnson said she wanted to work with children, which led her to the Garden ‘n Grow program in Gladstone. Fair v iew Chr istian Church has a 42-by-44foot area set aside for the garden and provides space indoors for classroom teaching. This past summer was Johnson’s third year to work with this program that teaches
the science behind gardening along with practical skills. “I call it kind of a gardening summer camp for kids,” Johnson said. Johnson became a master gardener in 2009. The mission of the University of Missouri Extension’s master gardener program is helping others learn to grow, according to a press release that announced Johnson’s recent accolades. As part of the outreach efforts of University of Missouri Extension, master gardeners involve people in improving the quality of life, and enhancing the economy and environment through horticulture education, applied research and the resources of the University of Missouri and Lincoln University.

Jobs, economy top agenda Graves tentatively prepares for Senator-elect Silvey for Clay Co. treasurer’s office By Angie Anaya Borgedalen State Rep. Ryan Silvey is now headed back to Jefferson City as one of 24 Republican state senators, far out numbering the 10 Democrats in the Senate. Silvey beat Democrat challenger Sandra Reeves in official totals by 42,491 votes to 37,997 votes, or 53 to 47 percent. Reeves is a former state representative and former Clay County collector of revenue. “He outspent me, but I feel like I gave him a run for his money,� Reeves said. “We need more women in office. I am grateful that Claire (McCaskill) got in. We are so luck to have someone like her in Washington.� McCaskill was re-elected as one of Missouri’s two U.S. senators. Reeves said traditional allies of Democrats, such as unions and trial attorneys, were now giving their money to Republicans, who were attempting to satisfy all sides. She said the public is much better served with a balance of power between the two parties. “Missouri is dead last in job creation,� Reeves said. “In education funding were headed next to Mississippi. What does that say for 10 years of Republican leadership?� Despite having a vetoproof, super majority in the House and Senate, Silvey said he does not expect many political clashes with Democrat Gov. Jay Nixon, who won re-election to
another term Nov. 6. “I don’t anticipate that it will be more adversarial with the governor,� Silvey said. “Both the Democrats and Republicans are concerned with the economy and creating more jobs.� As the senator from the 17th District, Silvey said at the top of the agenda is figuring out ways for Missouri to compete with surrounding states, particularly neighboring Kansas, which has been aggressive at enticing Missouri companies to move across the state line to capitalize on tax incentives. “Front and center, we need to figure out how to keep Kansas from stealing our jobs,� Silvey said. “That will be a top priority along with building infrastructure, investing in education and fixing our revenue problems.� He said he was looking forward to getting back to work and anticipated that he would again be heavily involved in the appropriations process as he was while serving in the House. As a representative, Silvey was chairman of the Bud-
get Committee. Silvey said the biggest difference between the much larger 163-member House and the much smaller 34-member Senate is its style, which at times has caused conflict between the two legislative bodies. “The Senate is suppose to be the ‘deliberate body’ while the House tends to react very quickly,� he said. “It is the Senate’s job to be more thoughtful about potential unintended consequences and work together with all sides to ensure that the state has an even, measured response to the difficulties we as Missourians face.� As one of two Clay County senators, Silvey said he also has many more constituents and a larger territory to serve. The 17th District covers North Kansas City, Gladstone, Kansas City North, Liberty, Pleasant Valley, Glenaire and Claycomo. Silvey will represent 177,000 constituents in the Senate compared to approximately 45,000 in the House. The Legislature is in session from January to May.

Carol McCaslin has about three weeks to file petition for a vote recount if she wants to challenge the election results in an attempt to keep her job. McCaslin, the Democratic incumbent for the Clay County treasurer’s office, lost by the slim margin of about a half percent to political newcomer Ted Graves, a Republican. The Clay County Election Board certified the Nov. 6 general election results at 10:30 a.m. Friday, Nov. 16, with the official total of 50,349 votes (50.21 percent) for Graves and 49,825 votes (49.69 percent) for McCaslin. There were 100 write-in votes, accounting for 0.10 percent of the votes. Graves said he expected it to be that close. Being within the 1 percent margin, McCaslin has a right to call for a recount,
according to Clay County Elections Board Republican Director Dave Reinhart. Reinhart said a candidate has 30 days from the date of certification to file a petition in circuit court for a recount. The election board would then be served notice by the court for the recount. A date would be selected for the recount, and 20 Republicans and 20 Democrats would be hired for that day to run the ballots through the machines again. “We want to get it done as soon as possible,� Reinhart said when asked what the time table would be for the recount to occur if McCaslin were to ask for it. Reinhart said McCaslin has communicated with his office that she may ask for a recount. McCaslin did not return calls or emails from the Liberty Tribune. McCaslin served as treasurer from 1997 to 2003, then as presiding county
commissioner from 2003 to 2006 and returned to the treasurer’s office in 2009. Graves said he’s confident he will be treasurer even after a recount because of the accuracy of the voting machines. He doesn’t mind waiting for that process. If a recount occurs and McCaslin still doesn’t win, Graves will take the office in January. He said he has already talked to other officeholders to get an idea of what to expect, including a conversation with Sheila Ernzen, current Clay County auditor and former treasurer. Graves, a physical education teacher at Southview Elementary School in Kearney and an assistant track coach at William Jewell College in Liberty, plans to retire from education at the end of this semester and wanted to get involved in public service. Graves said he will remain a track coach.

I had promised my vacationing neighbor I would put his trash out that week as well. The next 45 seconds played out like a scene from “The Amazing Race.” Once I had screeched back into my driveway, I simultaneously parked my car, threw the door open and yanked the key out of the ignition. My son and I bounded through the front door, making a beeline for the counter where I have been keeping the neighbor’s house key. I handed the key off to my son, who swiftly and silently races next door to retrieve the neighbor’s trash. Seconds later, a huge black bag in each hand, I sprinted across my front yard and victoriously deposited the bags next to my mailbox. I imagined the chuckles coming from the driver of the garbage truck as I did a victory dance right there next to
the street. But what about the neighbor’s trash? Would my son get his two bags out in time? Well, it didn’t matter because at that point the garbage truck guys could see my mission clearly and had stopped in front of our house and, with huge grins, asked if we had gotten it all.
I imagined the chuckles coming from the driver of the garbage truck as I did a victory dance right there next to the street.

Now when was the last time your trash guy stopped and asked if you had gotten all of your trash out? Um, never. We said yes, thank you, and with rosy cheeks and warmed hearts, we got back in the car and headed off. So to all of the garbage truck workers out there, mine in particular, thanks for what you do. It is important, and we are grateful.

Trash day in my neighborhood is Friday. That is unless there is a holiday that week, in which case it runs a day late — usually. After a Monday holiday earlier this fall, I assumed my trash day would be delayed once again. So imagine my reaction when I saw the trash truck up the street coming toward me as I was driving away from my house that Friday morning. A gasp escaped me as I tore into the nearest driveway and turned back toward home. Immediately seeing the drama playing out before his eyes, my 10-year-old son declared, “They’ve got five houses to go before they get to ours.” We were clearly on the same page. You know that panic you feel at the thought of forgetting to put out your trash? I could just smell the rotting food odors wafting up from my garage through the ventilation system — for a week. Adding to my distress was the fact that

Flying up in Girl Scouts
On Nov. 2 seventh-graders from across the Northland met at the Regional Police Academy in Kansas City North to compete in the finals of “Know It to Win It.� The teams of three plus an alternate won local competitions to qualify for the finals and an opportunity to win prize monies of up to $1,000. The program was designed to challenge the youths’ knowledge of substance abuse as well as teach them where to find accurate information about alcohol, tobacco and other substances on the Internet or through community resources. It was developed and sponsored by Tri-County Mental Health Services and the Northland Coalition.

SANDERFORD LAW OFFICE, LLC Living Trusts, Wills, Beneficiary Deeds, Health Care and General Powers of Attorney
Serving the Northland for Over 22 Years ...because good estate planning is important!
Good Estate Planning is a Gift! One of the best gifts that you can give to loved ones is a good estate plan. The burdens that will fall upon your family at the time of your death or incapacity are very real. There is no work-free or emotion-free estate plan, but there are plans that will work much better than others. Many of our clients have common goals in setting-up their estate plans: 1.) Avoid all probate proceedings at the time of death or incapacity; 2.) Eliminate unnecessary estate and capital gains taxes; 3.) Ease the burdens on loved ones and reduce the potential for family “misunderstandings”; and 4.) Protect minor children.
Still Young
Proper planning for children and young adults shouldn’t be considered optional. Guardianship designations, planning for the best use and management of life insurance proceeds and retirement accounts to provide for education and a financial foothold in life are essential steps in protecting your children.
Not So Young
A good time to address planning, probate and tax issues, as well as long term care expenses, is when you still have a full range of options. Trusts can be used for avoiding probate, estate taxes, and asset and creditor protection. Life and finances have become more complicated, and good planning important.
Well Seasoned
The burdens that will fall on family members will often include capacity issues and a variety health care and living arrangement decisions. Planning options may be more limited, but the benefits to your family of good planning are still very real.
Estate Planning Packages...at very reasonable costs!
We will meet with you at our office, your home, or schedule a telephone conference. Living Trust Package: A Living Trust is a often the best way to plan financial matters at the time of death or incapacity. This plan also includes General & Health Care Power of Attorney documents, Wills, and help with asset transfers to the trust. Starting at $1290
Non-Probate Package: This plan focuses on TOD/POD beneficiary designation including Beneficiary Deeds for real estate and General and Health Care Power of Attorney documents, Wills, and assistance with making correct beneficiary designations. Starting at $600
Guardianship Wills and Testamentary Trusts: If your main concern is Guardian designations for minor children and protecting their inheritance, this plan offers Wills, with this type of trust and Health Care Power of Attorney documents. Stating at $325

The sandwich generation is a gener- • Changes in typical personality. ation of people who are caught in the • Loss of initiative, withdrawing from normal patterns of activities and intermiddle between caring for their aging ests. parents and supporting their own children.
Continued from Page A1 said the federal government has released the National Plan to Address Alzheimer’s Disease, which offers strategies to prevent or treat the disease by 2020, educate family caregivers and health care professionals and provide support services to families. Littrell said her role as caregiver evolved by circumstances and choice. “My husband and I have a strong commitment to family. Whether it be taking care of our daughter with special needs, my mother with Alzheimer’s disease or our 2-year-old granddaughter, it just seems like the right thing to do,” Littrell said. Littrell said her 90-year-old mother, Angelynne Klobucar, came to live with her family after her father died in May. She said convincing her mother to move from her Gladstone home, where she had lived for 43 years, to the Littrell home in Kansas City North was a challenge. “She was uncomfortable and missed her home,” Littrell said. “Our lifestyle and routine changed. We all felt a little unbalanced for awhile until we could develop a routine.” Littrell said her advice for families facing similar circumstances is to seek help and do research on the disease and options available. Senior Helpers come to her home four times a week to help care for her mother while Littrell is at her part-time job. “My regret is that we did not utilize support sooner. It would have made it easier on my father had he chosen to use care-giving and other supports sooner,” Littrell said. “My father believed, like many people, that they can han-

She said while her mother’s memory is failing, she is more apt to remember things that happened years ago. Littrell said if family members notice changes in their elderly family members, have them checked out by a knowledgeable professional. And they should explore options for support services and living arrangements. “Sometimes, you have to be creative, but a nursing home is not the only option,” Littrell said “Having the right support may allow your loved one to be more independent.” Littrell said her hope is that a cure for Alzheimer’s will be found soon. “This disease is a thief that slowly robs people of their memory, personality, cognition, only to leave a shell,” Littrell said. “It’s brutally painful to watch your loved ones going through this.”
