Big Doings: Scholar Athletes, Cover Models and the Fit Family Challenge

othing like seeing collegebound students pick up scholarship checks to put a bounce in your step.

That’s how I felt after our Scholar Athlete Banquet in May when we celebrated the accomplishments of the past year’s Scholar Athletes like we have during the 15 years of the Scholar Athlete campaign, sponsored

by Kentucky Utilities.

But this year was special. Along with the commemorative plaques each Scholar Athlete received, two honorees, who were picked at random, split $2,500 in scholarship money.

The gift was spearheaded by Mike Pulliam of Rector Hayden Realtors and Man O War Golf.

Other contributors to the Scholarship are PBI Bank, Howard

Thomas the Tank Engine Chugs Into Kentucky

By Lesley Iwinski

H

How to Plan A Dream Summer

E

njoy A Day Out with Thomas when Thomas the Tank Engine rolls into the Kentucky Railway Museum on June 1, 2, 8 & 9.

The Go Go Thomas Tour 2013 will stop in New Haven, Ky., for a fun-filled day for little engineers.

ave you ever entered summer with a lot of enthusiasm for all the things you and your children are going to do, and suddenly it’s mid-August? Where does the time go?

At our house, we learned that the best summers don’t just happen… they involve a little bit of planning. Here’s how: Step One t With a calendar for June, July and August with room to write, choose a color for all family members and write their name in color on the calendar t Write dentist appointments, trips, etc., on the calendar so you can see the summer at a glance. Use the colors instead of writing names every time (“Dentist” in blue means Eric.) t Call a family meeting. Include a good snack or dessert if you can. t Ask each family member to write down all the things they dream of doing over the summer.

Let them know there are no guarantees that you can do everything, but you will have a better chance for success by writing them. For little ones, ask them and write for them. t With an open mind, listen to all the ideas as family members take turns sharing their list of “Dreams for the Summer.” Rule: No criticism or putdowns. t Share snack and adjourn.

Step Two t Write down dreams in common (library, camping, amusement park, etc.) t Write down ideas for individuals (play dates, fishing, swimming, hiking, making a fort, etc.) t Investigate prices for things that cost money or ask children to help collect information. t Compile all the ideas on one page: Common and Individual dreams t Share info at another family meeting. t Use calendar to choose dates. t Decide who will make reservations when needed.

Step Three t Continue to have short meetings once a week. Share memories: the best thing, worst thing, funniest thing that happened since last week. Work out final details and make plans.

You can also keep an album, a journal or a blog about your summer. The more the children are involved, the more fun it will be. Now relax, and enjoy your summer! Y

tool shed was unlocked.

Armed with five different screwdrivers and a hammer, I assaulted the front door knob.

With a bathing suit-clad toddler on my hip, I repeatedly stabbed and twisted at my front door latch and gave myself a pep talk.

We broke through eventually and made it inside for dinner.

To avoid a repeat situation, I thought about installing a dog door, then train CeCe to climb through and unlock doors.

It would prepare her for a future as a cat burglar, just in case college doesn’t work out.

old and I were playing in the backyard when her dad came out to exchange goodbyes.

CeCe and I then turned our attention back to the sandbox and water table.

Fifteen minutes later when the back door refused to open, the dread hit me. I grabbed CeCe and ran to the front of the house – another locked door.

My first instinct was to violently (and silently) curse up a storm. Done with the expletives, I checked at three different neighboring homes.

No one answered.

Phoneless and exiled, I summoned my inner MacGyver.

I took stock of the supplies I had – a plastic bucket and shovel, beach towel, baby pool shaped like a tiger and a childsized lawn chair.

t “With older kids you can plan geocache breaks along the way. This will give you time to get out of the car and go on a mini family adventure. For traveling with young kids, just don’t be in a rush. Even babies need to get out of their car seats and stretch.” – Stephanie Schember

Cover Model Contest Winners Announced

By Laurie Evans

t Lexington Family Magazine’s Summer Camps & Activities Fair on April 13, the biggest crowd all day was at Robin Allen Photography’s booth.

Robin took photos of 205 children for our annual Cover Model Contest.

Held every year at the Fair, the contest is how we find the cutest kids in the Bluegrass to pose for covers throughout the year.

It was a tough job narrowing the list of all these beautiful children to just 12 finalists.

Our judges ooh-ed and aah-ed over the photos of adorable babies, giggling toddlers, bashful little boys and beautiful young ladies.

We settled on the six youngsters pictured here. These children will appear on the covers of our magazine over the next 12 months.

Contest winner Somer du Toit is smiling at you from this month’s cover!

Check out the adorable romper from Blossom Maternity, Infant & Child little Somer is wearing.

Summer Games, Apps To Sharpen Mental Skills ou may not be a teacher, but you are your child’s biggest advocate and mentor.

Don’t let your child’s brain become dormant this summer.

Continue to build cognitive skills and expand his/her ability to problem solve, interpret, reason and increase working memory.

Well-developed cognitive skills are essential for performing well socially, academically and professionally.

Sharpening mental skills improves learning and builds self-esteem – healthy foundations for overall academic success.

Summer is an ideal time to incorporate fun activities into your child’s day.

Carving out time to sit down and make your child do “school work” will almost always result in failure.

To be an effective parent is to be sneaky about teaching your child. In other words, have fun!

Fun apps, brain busters or family game night are good places to start.

Sneak a fun game or two in on your IPad a couple of times a day. Some of my favorite apps are Brain HQ, Tangrams HD, Chain Thought, Montezuma Puzzle, TanZen Lite, Word to Word, Learning Ally and BrainPop. Take time to sit with your child to participate.

Believe me, your children will build confidence as they supersede you at the games – while building neurological pathways and developing cognitive skills.

Another one of my favorite ways to keep children’s skills sharp is family game night.

Munching on popcorn and playing games will not only build traditions and make memories but train your child’s brain.

Some of my favorite games include Simon, which builds memory. Yahtzee Flash allows your child to solve a variety of equations with a simple roll of the dice – a great way to make math fun!

What’s in the Cat’s Hat is a preschool problem solving game that is colorful, fun and engaging.

Guidecraft’s Mini Unit Blocks are an entertaining way to visually and mechanically solve puzzles.

Wheel of Fortune and Scrabble are sure to build your child’s vocabulary, critical thinking and spelling skills.

Monopoly is full of problem solving, reasoning, math and decision making.

Finally, take pictures of summer activities and let your child journal a few sentences or more, describing the activity.

Your child will develop writing skills and you will have a keepsake.

By challenging your child’s curious mind, results will follow! Y

Reasons to Go the Full

40 Weeks

Warning: Inductions, C-Sections Can Be Hazardous to Both Mother and Baby “Nobody likes to be rushed—especially babies!”

Y

our baby needs a full 40 weeks of pregnancy to grow and develop.

Although being done with pregnancy may seem tempting, especially during those last few weeks, inducing labor or scheduling a Cesarean birth is associated with increased risks for mom and baby, including prematurity, longer and more expensive hospital stays, dangerous levels of blood loss, infections and poor feeding.

Labor should only be induced for medical reasons – not for convenience or scheduling concerns.

Baby will let you know when she’s ready to emerge.

Until then, here are 20 of the 40 reasons to go at least the full 40 weeks of pregnancy. (For the full list, visit www.GoTheFull40.com).

FINISH HEALTHY AND WELL End Right by Starting Right Keeping all of your prenatal appointments helps ensure a healthier ending.

Let Nature Take Over There are fewer complications and risks for both you and baby through natural birth than with C-sections, which is major abdominal surgery that causes more pain, requires a longer hospital stay and a longer recovery.

Birth a Brainier Baby At 35 weeks your baby’s brain is only two-thirds the size it will be only five weeks later.

Boost Breastfeeding Full term babies are better at breastfeeding than babies born earlier.

Set Her Thermostat Baby will better regulate her temperature when born at term.

Recover Faster Natural births are just that – natural.

A C-section is major abdominal surgery.

MANAGE YOUR RISKS Give Your Baby Time Baby’s development will benefit from extra time since you may not know exactly when you got pregnant.

Let Baby Pick Her Birthday If she decides to emerge after 37, 22 | www.lexingtonfamily.com

weeks there’s no need to try to stop your spontaneous labor.

Reduce Your Baby’s Risks Jaundice, low blood sugar and infection are less likely in term babies.

Build Your Baby’s Muscles His muscles will be strong and firm, and ready to help him feed and move at term.

Maximize Those Little Lungs Babies born only two or more weeks early can have twice the number of complications with breathing. Those complications can last a lifetime.

Respond to Requests to Speed Baby’s Birth With the Facts Inductions often create more painful labors and can lead to C-sections.

Ignore People Who Say Induction Is Convenient Nothing is convenient about a longer labor and increasing your risk of a C-section.

Finish Well More time in the womb usually means less time in the hospital.

ENJOY THIS TIME Relax!

Babies are usually so much easier

to care for in the womb.

Snooze When You Can What sleep you’re currently getting is actually quite a lot compared to the interruptions ahead.

Relish Parenting Right now you know exactly where baby is and what he’s doing.

Postpone Changing Diapers You’ll change more than 5,000, so that can wait.

Don’t Rush It Make the best-possible birth experience.

Write Your Own Healthy Reason If it gets baby a full 40 weeks of pregnancy it deserves to be on this list. Y

Breastfeeding Resources: Local & Beyond

Breastfeeding may be simple and natural, but every expecting or new family needs straight information and accurate help to get started.

Staff from the Breastfeeding Support Services Program at the Lexington-Fayette County Health Department has put together the following list of breastfeeding resources.

Breastfeeding Support Groups

Mother-to-mother support groups give expecting or new moms an opportunity to meet other mothers and chat about the challenges and rewards of breastfeeding and parenting.

Autism and School Optimism and Planning by Parents Can Help Children With Special Needs Succeed

T

By Dr. David Blake

he return to school at the end of summer is a hectic time for most families, but for families with a child with autism, this transition can be quite challenging.

While each child with an autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is unique, many have a strong preference for sameness.

Any change in routine, including a return to school, tends to increase anxiety and can result in problematic behavior.

Parents of children with ASDs, however, can take a number of steps to try to smooth the back-to-school transition.

Specifically, they should work to prepare their child, their child’s teacher and themselves for the new school year.

Visits to school prior to the beginning of classes are a good way to prepare a child for a return to school.

Such visits allow the child to reacquaint himself with the building, to explore his new classroom and to meet his teacher.

If a teacher already knows the daily schedule for her class, a child can walk through the schedule during the visit to the school.

This gives the child a better sense

of what to expect when school student to make sure that the teacher begins. is aware of these.

Guidelines for OTC Medicines at the same time.

In 2008, the US Food and Drug Administration advised against giving OTC cough and cold medicines to children under four years of age because these medicines have not been proven effective in these children and may be harmful, especially if a child overdoses.

Ibuprofen is a pain reliever, a fever reducer and is antiinflammatory. It is not to be used for those under six months of age.

Because aspirin can cause Reye syndrome, a serious liver disease, it should not be used in children unless a healthcare provider has expressly recommended it.

Antihistamines such as diphenhydramine, loratidine, fexofenadine, and cetirizine can be given for allergic rhinitis and hives.

Hydrocortisone 0.5% and 1% cream or ointment can be used for rashes such as eczema and poison ivy.

Antibiotic ointments can be used to prevent or treat infections of superficial cuts or scrapes.

There are multiple OTC medicines for constipation.

It is best to consult a healthcare provider for advice concerning them.

In case of overdose with any OTC medicine, the state’s Poison Control Centers (800-222-1222) are resources for parents and healthcare providers. Y

Which events of life haven’t you planned?

BIRTHDAYS • GRADUATIONS • WEDDINGS • FUNERALS BABY SHOWERS • ANNIVERSARIES • RETIREMENT

Planning and funding your funeral is the responsible thing to do. And it makes good sense. Why? Because it lifts the emotional and financial burdens off the shoulders of the ones you love at a time when they are least able to handle them.

There aren’t any rules, but there is a guide.

edications bought without a doctor’s prescription are referred to as being overthe-counter (OTC), but this doesn’t mean that they are harmless.

Over-the-counter medicines for children are required to have labels with directions.

These tell what the medicine is for, how to use it (how much to give, how often, and for how long), what is in it, to what ages it can be given, and what side effects are possible.

These medicines should usually be given to children based on their weight.

If this is not readily known, then a child’s age can be used for proper dosage.

If there are any questions regarding dosage, a healthcare provider or pharmacist can be consulted.

Other considerations for giving these medicines include whether a child is capable of taking the form the medicine is in (pill, capsule, liquid, etc.), what other medicines the child is taking (for possible interactions), and if the child is allergic to the medicine or a similar one.

Acetaminophen is a pain reliever and a fever reducer, and can be given to newborns (often for circumcisions).

Some OTC cough and cold medicines may contain Acetaminophen, so these medicines should not be given

Fit Family Challenge Marches On

A

fter the success of the first Fit Family Challenge, Lexington Family Magazine is continuing the campaign.

In this ongoing series, we want to share ideas with our readers about how to improve health, eat better and make family fitness an integral part of our schedules.

Look for this page each month for fitness ideas, recipes, a monthly suggestion contest and expert advice on how to whip your family into shape.

The first phase of the Challenge

ended with our Summer Camp Fair in April with the four participating families reporting lifestyle changes.

For more details on the Challenge, visit www.lexingtonfamily.com.

Get Fit and Win Prizes In our magazine and on our Facebook page each month over the next year, we will ask our readers to answer a health and fitness related question or provide fitness suggestions.

From the reader responses, we will choose one winner each month and print that response in the magazine.

At the end of the 12-month series, a grand prize winner will be selected.

Like us on Facebook or follow us on Twitter to keep upto-date on our questions. Or e-mail your answers to john@ lexigntonfamily.com.

THIS MONTH’S QUESTION: How do you get young children to eat more veggies?

Expert Advice: Pick One Winnable Challenge Per Week Advocate Anita Courtney advises busy families to start with small steps when making lifestyle changes.

Lexington is lucky to have the Tweens Nutrition and Fitness Coalition, a program that helps families introduce healthy eating and fitness into the lives of their children.

Anita Courtney, the founder and chairperson of the now 10-year-old Coalition, brings 34 years’ experience as 28 | www.lexingtonfamily.com

a public health nutritionist to the Coalition.

Courtney, a mother of two and an advocate for good health, encourages busy, time-starved families to start small when considering lifestyle changes.

“Pick one small winnable challenge for your family,” she said. “Let the family work together to choose it.”

For example: Everyone in the family agrees to eat one extra piece of fruit each day.

Eat Well With Better Bites, Good to Go Bike Tired of eating fast food at the pool or ballpark?

The Better Bites program is back for its third year of providing healthy food choices for families.

When you visit local public pools, Lexington Legends games, some restaurants and the 17 state parks, you will find healthy meals and snacks available for your family thanks to Better Bites.

Fresh fruit, veggie dippers with light Ranch dressing, popsicles and sunflower seeds are on the menu along with chicken salad on whole wheat bread, chicken sandwiches and wraps.

All are priced as economically as hamburgers and candy bars.

“We know if we put healthy food in front of kids, they’ll eat it,” nutrition advocate Anita Courtney said.

Better Bites is adding the Good To Go Bike to its arsenal of smart snacking tools this summer.

You’ll find this mobile food service offering healthy snacks for just a $1 or more at local community centers, camps, churches, parades, 5K runs and other community events.

To find out where the Better Bites Good to Go Bike will be next, visit www.tweenslex.org or follow Snack.

Strong on Facebook or Snack_Strong on Twitter Said Courtney: “We’re making healthy food fun.” Y The whole family will play catch after dinner (or corn hole, or tag or take a walk) When the family goes to dinner, everyone will order water instead of sugary drinks.

Try these changes for one week and then evaluate.

Said Courtney: “You have to see that it is doable, then decide: Is it a keeper?

Then add another challenge.” Y

Clinic Expands Staff to Meet Growing Demand

Y

ou know your business is successful when you find yourself hiring five new staff members.

That’s just what Dr. Rick Graebe of the Children’s Vision and Learning Center in Versailles is doing.

His practice currently includes three optometrists, four Vision Therapists, five technicians, an optician and an office manager.

Dr. Graebe has added another fulltime Vision Therapist, Andrew Chulu, to the staff, and a new optometrist, Dr. Kevin Skidmore, joins the practice in July.

Dr. Graebe also has three new Vision Therapists currently completing their training and are expected to begin working with patients in June.

“We’ve had big demand from our Dr. Rick Graebe Family Eyecare Associates & Children’s Vision and Learning Center 105 Crossfield Drive, Versailles www.myfamilyvision.com / 859.879.3665

patients and referrals from other doctors,” Dr. Graebe said.

Other optometrists, occupational therapists and teachers have learned that for hard-to-solve cases, Dr. Graebe’s office is the place to turn.

He gives an example of a young high school ballplayer in Barbourville with a vision problem.

The young man’s vision is fine when he looks forward or down, but when he looks up to catch a fly ball, he sees two baseballs coming at him.

The ballplayer’s regular optometrist was stumped and referred the teenager to Dr. Graebe.

“When other doctors say, ‘I don’t know what to do about this,’ that’s when they send patients to us,” Dr. Graebe said.

Dr. Graebe prides himself and his staff on their willingness to take tough cases and learn from patients.

“Not all doctors welcome their patients asking questions, but I say, ‘Please question me.’ That’s the way

I keep learning,” he said.

Dr. Graebe, who has been an optometrist since 1984, opened his current practice in Versailles in 2000.

His practice now serves patients in more than 300 zip codes.

The practice has grown because patients are educating themselves about Vision Therapy, and optometrists, unburdened by outdated information, are more receptive to the approach.

Vision Therapy is a type of physical therapy for the eyes, brain and body and treats such common visual problems as lazy eye, crossed eyes, double vision, convergence inefficiency and reading and learning disabilities.

“More and more doctors are recognizing the benefit of what we’re doing for their current patients and continue sending us more patients,” Dr. Graebe said.

“Our growth tells me that we are doing a good job, and it is affirmation that we are making a difference in people’s lives.” Y

“We Change Lives” “Through eye therapy, my son is thriving.

His reading, writing and self-esteem have gone up exponentially. He is so much happier.”

Rick Graebe O.D.,FCOVD Regina Callihan O.D. and Jennifer Brown O.D.

H

Debunking Myths About Hospice Care

ave you heard any myths about hospice care? We have. Here are the most common.

Myth: Hospice care is only for people with cancer.

Fact: Hospice care is for all patients facing any terminal illness.

Myth: Accepting hospice services means giving up, so you should put it off until the last moment.

Fact: Hospice is all about living life to the fullest. A recurring comment from patients and families is, “I wish I had called hospice sooner.”

Myth: Hospice care will be a financial drain on the family.

Fact: Hospice care is a benefit provided by Medicare,

Medicaid, most private insurance and the V.A. Hospice of the Bluegrass is a nonprofit organization, and thanks to the generosity of donors, no one is denied hospice care because of an inability to pay.

Myth: You can’t keep your own doctor if you become a hospice patient.

Fact: Hospice works closely with your physician to provide the best care for you.

Myth: I can only receive hospice care in the hospital.

Fact: Hospice services are provided wherever a patient resides – homes, nursing homes, assisted-living facilities and hospitals.

Info: 296-6100 or see www. hospicebg.org. Y

I wish we had called Hospice sooner.

Mom wanted to come home.

Hospice made that possible.

The Hospice team took care of my mother and our whole family. They made it possible for us to spend quality time with Mom. Hospice is for the last phase of life, not just the last days.

15 Ways to Create Free Time to Exercise

Getting Fit Is Just The STart W

By Chris Campbell

e say we want to lose weight or inches or feel more energized, but we find many excuses to avoid exercise.

Let me, with some help from Men’s Health magazine, give you 15 quick ways to remove the excuses and get out there and go to work(out) for just 15 minutes a day.

Your first shot is

FREE. Come in today to try a FREE POWER HOUR Workout!

1. Flip off Facebook… and Twitter, LinkedIn, YouTube, etc. You don’t need to eliminate social media, just limit your time on them.

2. Say “No”! You don’t always have to do everything everybody asks. Use your judgment here!

3. Plan Your Peaks.

Schedule your biggest task for your peak time of day.

4. Do One Thing at a Time. Don’t buy into the myth that you can multi-task an unlimited to-do list.

5. Record Your TV Shows.

Your typical hour-long program actually contains about 40 minutes of content!

6. Leave Well Enough Alone… Or as someone once said, don’t let “good” become the enemy of “the best.” Do those hubcaps really need to be spotless?

7. Be Decisive! Do your homework, make your assessment, then BUY the darned sneakers! Don’t succumb to “analysis paralysis” and take forEVER making simple decisions.

8. Buy Time. Yep, it’s possible. Pay for services that

someone else can do more quickly and cheaply than you.

9. Ink It in Your Calendar. Block out your workouts in INK! 10. Use an Egg Timer.

Time all those little timewasters and force yourself to stop when the bell sounds.

11. Touch It Once. When mail or a piece of paper comes across your desk, deal with it right then and there.

12. Make a Call. Texting, facebook and email are great, but it sometimes takes 15 messages to accomplish what one 40-second phone call can achieve.

13. Put Things in Their Places.

“A place for everything and everything in its place” as my Dad would say!

14. Set Out Your Stuff.

Lay out your exercise clothes the night before. It helps you stay motivated.

15. Get Up 15 Minutes Earlier. Very simple AND very effective too!

An intense one-hour workout, performed three times weekly, will be a much better use of the time that you will save with the above 15 steps.

You will be much closer to achieving those New Year’s fitness goals you set way back on Jan. 1!

JUNE 21 IS NATIONAL ASK (ASKING SAVES KIDS) DAY This event takes place on the first day of summer and reminds parents of the importance of asking if there are guns where kids play.

MAKE ASKING EASIER:

• ASK about guns along with other things normally discussed before sending your child to someone’s house.

• Use the facts. More than 1/3 of homes with children have a gun. In Kentucky, more than 37,000 kids live in homes with guns that are loaded and unlocked.

• Present concerns respectfully. You just want to make sure that your child is in a safe environment.

ayre School’s baseball team marched to a 20-win season this year even though the Spartans played with one arm tied behind their backs.

That arm belonged to 6-foot-7, 260-pound senior right-hander Ray Brewer, who will pitch next year for Cornell.

But this year, he played nothing but first base for the Spartans following off-season Tommy John surgery on his pitching arm.

And what a pitching arm it is. As a junior, his only injury-free season as a Sayre pitcher, he posted a 7-1 record with a 2.10 earned-run average and 101 strikeouts in only 53 innings.

With those stats, a 4.3 weighted GPA, seven A.P. classes and a 30 on his ACT, Ray fielded offers from a bevy of college suitors, including Stanford, Harvard, Duke, Kentucky and Louisville.

That was before surgery, performed

by Dr. James Andrews of Alabama, the world-renowned Tommy John surgery expert who has repaired the elbows of countless major league pitchers.

The surgery may have scared off most of the colleges, but Cornell and Ray still believe.

And at his size, who wouldn’t take a chance on this promising pitcher.

Besides, when he’s not pitching, he can hit. As a junior, he batted .468 with eight home runs and 37 runs batted in. Even while rehabbing his arm this

season, he batted .458 with six homers.

Still, he might be best remembered at Sayre as a basketball player.

As a four-year starter he scored 993 points with game-highs of 37 and 35, and added 685 rebounds and 24 double-doubles, both school records.

He was Academic All-State in baseball and basketball, graduating Sayre with high honors and a Commonwealth Diploma.

A versatile student, he became interested in medicine because of his own experience.

He first suffered an injured arm as a sophomore and was examined by orthopedic surgeon Kaveh Sajadi. As a senior, Ray job-shadowed with Dr. Sajadi, including in the operating room.

“When I was injured I realized that sports weren’t forever,” Ray said. “I was fascinated by sports medicine and thought this was a great way to stay involved in sports.

“Maybe I could help kids in the same situation as me, allay some of their fears and get them back on the field.”

Ray has always been a helper, said his mother, Lynn.

“He’s works hard, likes a challenge and still takes time to help his grandmother with her shopping every Sunday,” she said.

“He’s always been a leader, a team player, always pumping up the other players.” Y

Two Scholar Athletes a year will be picked at random to share $2,500 in scholarships provided by Mike Pulliam, a Rector Hayden Realtor and instructor at Man O’ War Golf.

Other contributors are Howard Smith of Southern Automotive Garage Equipment, Barry and Mike Barrett of Auto Excel, local CPA Kenny Frank and PBI Bank.
