Learning to Love My Wife's Family Reunion

hen I married my wife, Dana, I didn’t realize that I was making a lifelong commitment to attend her family’s annual reunion every Fourth of July weekend. And we’re not talking about an afternoon picnic. This is a four-day marathon in a 4-H campground in rural Kentucky complete with blistering heat, bad food and communal latrines for bathrooms. I’m from New Jersey so this is a kind of sweet torture for me. My idea of roughing it is a three-star hotel. My first reunion was the summer of 1988, held then at Dana’s grandmother’s house in Greenup in Eastern Kentucky. (This is when I learned that some Kentuckians called their grandparents Mamaw and Papaw, which to my ears sounded like a foreign language.). Dana and I lived in Los Angeles then, so first we traveled from California to Lexington and then drove nearly three hours into the Kentucky mountains. This was my first trip to Eastern Kentucky and I brought the standard stereotypes with me. Facing a long weekend in the mountains with 50 or more of Dana’s relatives I was meeting for the first time, I braced for the worst. I avoided disaster the first afternoon but after dinner, the men signaled for me to join them up a hill where they broke out the beer. Uh oh. I don’t drink, so no bonding there. Immediately, the conversation moved to manly things like tools, household repairs etc. – topics of no interest to me. “This is gonna be a long weekend,” I thought. Then, Dana’s cousin Freddy told a hilarious story about his visit to a proctologist. That broke the ice for me. Three days later it took me forever to hug everyone good-bye. It’s that time of year again so we’re headed to Carlisle, just south of Blue Licks state park (We don’t have “Licks” in New Jersey). It’s another long weekend of summer heat, bad food and latrines... and I wouldn’t miss it for the world. 

LCT Summer Musical: 'Wizard of Oz'

t’s a case of something old and something new for Lexington Children’s Theatre 14th annual Summer Family Musical: “The Wizard of Oz.” Something old because the story never changes, but something new because of LCT’s staging. “The story is the story. It does not change, and it will be very familiar,” show director Jeremy Kisling said. At the same time, “We’re trying to make ‘somewhere over the rainbow’ a little bit different, a little bit new, and a little bit fresh.” Costume designer Jessica Pribble has a similar vision. For example, Munchkinland has a touch of South American flavor in its design. “But it will also be very nontraditional, very fantastical,” she said. Performances will be Thursday-Sunday, July 16-19, and Friday-Sunday, July 24-26 at the Lexington Children’s Theatre Main Stage, 418 W. Short St. Tickets are $20 for adults, $18 for children. Info: 254-4546 or visit www.lctonstage.org.

uditions for Lexington Children’s Theatre production of “The Adventures of Madeline” will be held in July by appointment only for actors 9 to 99 years old. Auditions will be 7-9 p.m. on the following dates: Tuesday, July 21, Wednesday, July 22, Sunday, July 26, Monday, July 27 and Tuesday, July 28. When actors arrive at the theatre, they will be photographed and are asked to pay $1 for the photo. During the audition, actors may play improvisational games and/or be asked to read from the script. All performers must turn 9 prior to July 29, 2015 to be eligible to audition. Performances will take place Sept. 13-20 on LCT’s Main Stage at 418 short. Street. Info: 254-4546 ext 310. Y

By Lesley Iwinski

Do You Really Want Obedient Children?

“I

get so tired of telling Meredith the same things over and over again. I end up yelling but she still won’t do what she is supposed to. How can I make her more obedient?”

A better question might be: Do you really want a child who is obedient to you? Consider that instead of a child obeying you, it is better for children to obey the values and principles you have chosen to live by. This means you have to live by those ideals as well. If you want to teach your child to be respectful, you must be respectful. If you want them to follow your faith, live in integrity with it. If you want your child to be honest, be honest, and so on. This shifts the focus in the family from control to cooperation. Children taught cooperation often are comfortable with who they are, care about others and are better prepared to create healthy relationships. Children who grow up feeling controlled will either submit or rebel. Because submission comes from fear of punishment or fear of losing love, kids who submit can have trouble standing up for themselves and are more vulnerable to controlling or abusive relationships. Children who rebel feel as though they have to prove their value through overpowering others, setting the stage for

interpersonal problems. Neither child enjoys the benefits of a warm, close relationship with their parent, because their obedience came with a cost. To encourage cooperation as you both live in obedience to your values: t Teach children to follow family rules, while giving them freedom within limits to make choices in other areas. t Respect your children’s needs as well as your own. Work together. t Give them opportunities to learn through experience and the consequences of their choices. Experience is a great teacher. t Listen with empathy while holding firm limits. t Teach them how to think and how to choose what benefits everyone. t Help them solve problems rather than solving them yourself or leaving children alone to solve them. t Value your children and their contributions, and cultivate a close connection. The next time your child disobeys you, stop and ask yourself, “Do I want to control him? Or would I rather teach him how to cooperate?” Y

rudeness. I try my best not to complain that I have a healthy, strong baby growing inside of me. But his constant pummeling made me realize how incredibly different this second pregnancy is from the first. I knew my children would be unique individuals, but I didn’t realize how early on those differences would appear. My docile first baby would simply tickle my tummy to let me know she was okay. This new little dude wants me to know that he is here and ready to rock. I guess I should accept these differences now, since they are certainly just the beginning.

Cut & Paste Craft Studio With New Store, Lifelong Crafter Matches Hobby To Her Career By John Lynch

Laurie Evans, above, is a former Girl Scout troop leader with a lifetime of crafting experience. Below, before and after examples of crafts available at Cut and Paste Craft Studio.

ecent research demonstrates that creativity promotes good mental health. That’s a concept that local entrepreneur Laurie Evans has imprinted in her DNA. Evans has been a crafter all her life, learning from her mother and continuing as she raised two daughters and served as a Girl Scout troop leader for 17 years. She learned to sew from her mother, was a scrapbooker for years and did arts and crafts projects with her daughters all the time.

Who better then to open Cut and Paste Craft Studio, the only craft workshop of its kind in Kentucky and most surrounding states? “I feel like I’m finally making my hobby my career,” said Evans, who previously worked in a research lab at UK for 10 years and as a writer and events coordinator for 17 years at Lexington Family Magazine. The inspiration for her own studio 14 | www.lexingtonfamily.com

came from her experience as a crafter and as a mom. She noticed that her children especially enjoyed doing crafts when she worked with them. That’s the experience families can enjoy at Cut and Paste, Evans said, adding that the studio “is not selling a product so much as offering an experience. You and your kids can create something together at the same time.” Cut and Paste, which opened in June, is a drop-in studio where kids (and adults, too) can create their own crafts by painting, decorating and using decoupage on papier mache animals, wooden shapes, treasure boxes and room décor. Cut and Paste provides all the tools, supplies and aprons, and the staff cleans up the mess afterward. In some ways, Cut and Paste owes its existence to the fear of glitter. “Some people won’t even let glitter in their homes, but we have designed our studio so that it can be glitter bombed and nobody cares,” Evans said. “Moms have told me for years that their kids love to do crafts, but they are reluctant to buy all the materials and then make a big mess and have to store everything afterward. We have provided a place where we take care of all of that.” Along with drop-in opportunities, Cut

and Paste offers after-school classes, daytime classes for preschoolers and homeschoolers, field trips and birthday parties. The store also hosts specially themed Super Saturday sessions and Moms Night Out. The next Super Saturday is July 18, and Moms Night Out will begin in August. “There are so many kids out there who really want to do this and don’t have the opportunity,” Evans said. And that means boys, too. They can paint and decorate lizards and frogs, and create swords and treasure boxes. For moms, there are bigger, more complex options available including Deco Mesh wreaths, stenciling and refinishing furniture. Another plus is cost. Small papier mache and wooden animals are as inexpensive as $6. A mom and two children can easily paint and decorate for an hour and spend no more than $20. “I’m really excited to open Cut and Paste because our community needs something like this,” Evans said. “I think families will enjoy the time they spend here.” Y Cut and Paste Craft Studio is located 220 Ruccio Way, Suite 180 next to Meijer on Reynolds Road. Hours are Monday-Thursday 10 a.m.-6 p.m., Friday and Saturday, 10 a.m.-9 p.m. Info: www.facebook.com/cutandpastecraftstudio or 223-0114.

Asbury Academy

Dual Enrollment: Free Tuition for High Schoolers

hen you outline all the benefits of Asbury University’s unique dual enrollment program for high school juniors and seniors, you wonder how any family can resist. Asbury Academy, celebrating its 10th year this fall, allows high school upperclassmen to take 100 and 200 level courses on campus for free or with a dramatic discount. Seniors can take four credit hours in the fall and spring semester for free, and they can take up to 15 credit hours in both semesters at half the tuition rate. Summer session is not offered.

The Academy also offers online courses, which last eight weeks. Students from around the country and the world may enroll in one course at a time and can take two classes in one 16week Asbury semester. Online courses are offered at an 80% discount. And it’s not too late to apply – The deadline is August 10, the same day as orientation for on-campus students (2-4 p.m.). Classes start August 17. Last fall, 111 students enrolled in the program and the university hopes to increase that number. Kim Okesson is the Assistant Director of Asbury Academy is also the only Admissions and the Coordinator for Asbury program around that offers free Academy and Special tuition, Okesson said. Programs. She has no trouble ticking off the Free tuition is reserved for seniors program’s multiple benefits to high only, but juniors too can take advantage school upperclassmen and their families. of half tuition for both semesters for For example, unlike most dual more than 80 classes, sitting side by side enrollment programs that allow students with college students in classes taught by to take college courses at their high Asbury faculty. school, the Academy offers students an These are the same classes that helped on-campus experience.

tumbling team. The Academy is also the only program around that offers free tuition, Okesson said. Plus, students can earn a scholarship toward a four-year degree at Asbury ($1,500 for each year for a total of $6,000) if they take 12 hours of dual credit and earn a 3.0 GPA in those classes. “By earning college credit for free or at a huge discount, students can graduate faster and with less debt,” Okesson said. “Many families need that kind of help. “This experience also gives students the skills they need to be confident, knowing they will do well in college. “And the program helps high school students stay academically challenged. If you coast through your senior year, you can fall behind.” The Kentucky Department of Education recognizes the value of dual enrollment and is making a big push to get all high schools to participate. As word spreads among high school students, Okesson is confident that Asbury Academy will be a top destination. “For students to come to a school with such strong academics and take classes for free,” she said, “I don’t know how a family can say no.” Y

Child Development Center of the Bluegrass

Special Care for All Kids

hen Lexington mom Rania Burke sought a preschool for her two children, she wanted them exposed to as much variety as possible. She hit the jackpot when her students enrolled at Child Development Center of the Bluegrass on the UK campus. Founded in 1958 and expanded in 2012 when it moved into a new building near Commonwealth Stadium, the Center serves preschoolers with special needs side by side with typically developing children who comprise 60% of enrollment. The two populations are fully integrated in the classroom and in all activities. And that’s just the way Burke wants it for her 4-year-old son, Caiden, who is a so-called typical. “We wanted a place with lots of diversity, different ethnicities, and kids with different abilities,” said Burke, whose 2-year-old daughter, Isla, also attends the preschool. “Caiden has developed in a way so that he reacts to all kids from a place of understanding.” That reflects the mission of the Center, where students learn from each other. “Now he understands that some people don’t process information the same way that he does,” Burke said. “We’ve had good conversations about that and I’m appreciative of those conversations.” Comments like that are gratifying for the Center’s director, Erica Tipton, who joined the staff two years ago. Her 22-month-old son, Graham, also attends the preschool. “All the kids learn from each other,” she said. “Some of our kids with special

needs do have aids, but they have interactions with peers and are integrated with their friends throughout the day.” Every day the Center serves 165 children up to five years old. That is quadruple the number of children served at the Center’s old location near Lafayette High School. Approximately 40% of those children receive therapy services. In addition, the Center each week treats 200 children up to 18 years old with outpatient occupational, physical and speech therapy services. Included among the staff of 95 full- and part-time employees are 10 therapists.

How to Keep Summer Safe

n the summers when I was a kid, we would play a game called “jarts.” The actual “jarts” were heavy metal spikes with plastic wings that we would toss toward a small hula hoop so many yards away. Needless to say, those “jarts” have been banned in the U.S. for many years. Backyards can be a wonderful place to play in the summer for children, but certain safety precautions should be taken. Before going outside, sunscreen (with SPF of 15 or more) should be applied. Sunburn can happen easily in the great outdoors. Likewise, to prevent insect bites, an insect repellent containing 10-30% DEET can be applied to kids 2 months of age and older. The repellent should be washed off once the kids come indoors. Stagnant water in the backyard should be dumped out to prevent mosquitoes. Foods that are left out, especially if sweet, can attract biting and stinging insects.

Playground equipment should be pavement or for passengers. Protective routinely checked for soundness, and equipment such as helmets should be some sliding boards can get hot enough in worn by those who use them. the summer to burn the skin.

Dr. Graebe's Inter-Disciplinary Way

lways looking for kindred spirits in the medical world, behavioral optometrist Rick Graebe of Versailles reaches out to colleagues from different disciplines because, well, that’s the condition of the human body – interdisciplinary. That’s why Dr. Graebe spoke at the state osteopath convention in Lexington in June, discussing the value of Vision Therapy, a kind of physical therapy for the eyes, brain and body. Osteopaths, who practice manual medicine that focuses on total body health, were open to his message, Dr. Graebe said, because many osteopaths follow the same non-traditional path as him. Their treatments focus on causes of body dysfunctions or diseases instead of treating symptoms with medicine or surgery. Dr. Rick Graebe Family Eyecare Associates & Children’s Vision and Learning Center 105 Crossfield Drive, Versailles www.myfamilyvision.com / 859.879.3665

In addition to traditional medical training, osteopaths receive training in the ability to manipulate the muscles, joints and spine. Therefore, they often see patients with movement and balance issues, many of whom are recovering from brain injuries. Dr. Graebe has treated similar patients thanks to his relationships with local neurologists and physical, occupational and speech therapists. A few years ago, therapists referred a patient to Dr. Graebe who suffered severe injuries in a car accident when he was 10. Having reached a plateau after a decade of other therapies, the patient started Vision Therapy with Dr. Graebe. He entered treatment using a walker. A year later, he walked without assistance. How? That was the subject of Dr. Graebe’s talk to the osteopaths – the often overlooked importance of vision’s ambient system. The focal system is about what the eyes see and is all that gets tested at a general eye exam. The ambient system is about

spatial relationships, balance, orientation and sensory integration. Obviously, if the cause of Dr. Graebe’s patient’s inability to walk without assistance was because of a severed spine, Vision Therapy would be useless. But VT can treat functional deficits and sensory issues because the eyes, brain and body all work together. If the ambient system never developed properly or is damaged, Vision Therapy often can restore proper function. Because VT has shown to be effective in treating a myriad of functional issues from reading problems and ADHD to anxiety and clumsiness, Dr. Graebe has connected with UK psychiatry residents who have visited his practice the past few years. These residents often become triple Board certified, in family medicine, pediatrics and psychiatry, so they too are inter-disciplinary. “We’re all smarter than any one of us,” Dr. Graebe said. “My mission is to draw from other disciplines because that’s what helps my patients best.” 

“We Change Lives” Making the RIGHT decision for your family’s eye care is critical.

Hospice Offers Camps to Help Children Grieve T

he loss of a loved one is particularly hard on children. “Grieving children often feel very alone,” says Vicki Merrill, LCSW, ACHP-SW from Hospice of the Bluegrass. “Most of their friends do not understand how it feels when someone special dies.”

To help grieving children, Hospice of the Bluegrass is offering two camps for children to meet others who have lost a loved one. These camps offer safe places to share experiences, to understand that their feelings are normal and to develop skills to cope with grief in healthy ways. Hospice of the Bluegrass and Central

Kentucky Riding for HOPE are joining forces on July 15, 16, and 18 to facilitate the bereavement program, Healing Hooves. This daytime retreat will incorporate the use of horses to help facilitate the grieving process for Kentucky children and teenagers from ages 6 to 17 years old who have experienced the death of a loved one. Camp HOPE will be a one-day retreat for children, ages 6 to 12, who have experienced the death of a loved one within the past two years. Caregivers of the children are also invited to attend. Camp HOPE will be held Saturday, Sept. 12 at the Hospice of the Bluegrass Center for Grief and Education in Lexington. Info: (859) 277-2700 or email bgordon@hospicebg.org. 

Scholar Athlete of the Month Van Balen Is a Good Catch for Vanderbilt

John Van Balen • School: Sayre School • Grade: 12 • Sports: Baseball • Academics: John has a 4.9 weighted GPA, scored 33 on the ACT, has taken eight A.P. classes and will attend Vanderbilt in the fall. • Parents: Lauren & Craig

f you want to understand the physics of what makes a baseball curve, a good person to ask would be John Van Balen, catcher on the Sayre School baseball team and one of the school’s top students. John, 18, has played on the varsity since the seventh grade and became the starting catcher as a freshman. Sayre has won more than 20 games a season all four years John was a starter. This year, Sayre was 24-14 against its most difficult schedule and advanced to the Regional tournament for the first time since 1997. Sayre, a high school of approximately 240 students, beat Scott County (more than 2,000 students) in the district tournament to qualify for the Regionals. In the first round, Sayre was tied, 1-1, with Lafayette (more than 2,000 students) in the seventh inning when John started things off with a single. Sayre scored five runs and batted around (John had two hits in the inning) to key a 6-2 victory over the Generals, who were ranked second in the state. “Making it to Regionals and beating Lafayette was the best moment for us at Sayre,” John said. “We also beat Bryan Station twice, so it was a great year.”

Catchers play a demanding position, requiring them to call each pitch. Sayre couldn’t have anyone smarter behind the plate than John, who will attend Vanderbilt in the fall. He has a 4.9 weighted GPA, scored 33 on the ACT and has taken eight A.P. classes. As a junior and senior he was a member of both the National Honor Society and the National Spanish Honor Society. He applied to Vanderbilt as a physics major and may attend medical school. He’s also an avid reader who is interested in economics and finance. As a senior, John won the school physics award and was given the Director’s Award for his unique contributions to the school. He was Academic All-State four consecutive years and as a junior won the Jefferson Book Club award. He also served on school Honor Council, was senior class vice president and co-founded the Spanish Club. He has volunteered at UK Hospital and is active in his church youth group. “He is diligent and driven to do well,” his mother, Lauren, said. “He is a strong reader with a good memory and is competitive.” Sounds like he will be an ideal fit at Vanderbilt.

Two Scholar Athletes a year will be picked at random to share $3,000 in scholarships provided by Mike Pulliam, a Rector Hayden Realtor and instructor at Man O’ War Golf. Other contributors are Patrick Forrester and Howard Smith of Southern Automotive Garage Equipment, Barry and Mike Barrett of Auto Excel, local accountant Kenny Frank, Dairy Queen franchise owner Paul Wright and PBI Bank.
