LFM Wins Breastfeeding Award From Local Group
T
here I was – the only man in a room full of more than 100 women. What a moment. Not for me, but for Lexington Family Magazine. The occasion was the Lactation Improvement Network of Kentucky’s 2014 Breastfeeding Champion Awards. LINK is a locally based organization dedicated to making breastfeeding easier for all Kentuckians. As part of its day-long conference last month, President Cerise Bouchard presented LINK awards to three people – Cristin Stanley-Potter, a trained labor doula and fitness instructor; Ana Maria Linares, an assistant professor and researcher in the UK College of Nursing; and me, editor of Lexington Family Magazine. The magazine has long supported breastfeeding, and it’s gratifying to John Lynch with Jan Johnson know that those in the community (accepting for Cristin Stanleywho share our dedication to this Potter) and Ana Maria Linares. cause noticed our efforts. Cerise’s words of praise were almost embarrassing in their effusiveness. But if you’ll allow me to check my modesty at the door, I’d like to share some of her comments and pass on my thanks from our staff to LINK for the recognition. “Since its inception, Lexington Family Magazine has actively sought articles, event listings, and resources information to support breastfeeding families in Central Kentucky. Their June issue features maternity-related content... Lexington Family Magazine can provide evidence-based information that does not fuel the flames of hyperbole. “More than just a resource list, their Baby Bump publication features articles and also manages public and private Facebook pages. When breastfeeding issues arise on their Baby Bump FB page, John is sure to request expert advice for a response. Through the FB stream, and their on-line articles, Lexington Family Magazine has been able to spread their reach more broadly, expanding beyond Central Kentucky.” Y

Summer Camp Fair Rocks! This was the 12th year for Lexington Family’s Summer Camps & Activities Fair, and as the photos show it was a blast for the nearly 3,000 kids, parents and grandparents who attended. As they streamed through the doors at Lexington Christian Academy on April 12, the first 100 families were given a chance to win a 2-night family vacation at Wilderness at the Smokies and family 4-packs to Malibu Jack’s Family Fun Center. While they may have lined up early to win prizes, families stayed for all the valuable information and resources they found inside the Fair. The Fair included: • More than 90 booths representing camps, birthday party venues, health care professionals, schools, tutoring, foster care programs, churches, exercise programs, photographers and more. • Live performances by some of the most talented kids in the Bluegrass, including Legacy Allsports, Tiger Kim TaeKwonDo, the Lexington Ballet, Images Model & Talent and Lexington Dance Factory. If you missed the Camp Fair this year, please see our list of camps starting on Page 16. – Photos by Melissa Evans

Writing Contest Winners
T
his was a year to remember for Lexington Family’s annual Writing Contest. It was our 10th year and our biggest response ever with 1,499 children in grades K-5 entering their stories. Even more exciting, for the first time ever, we partnered with sponsor Midway College to offer a $250 prize to the school with the highest percentage of participation. That proved to be motivation for dozens of teachers in the Bluegrass who entered their entire class and even their entire school. The prize went to Providence Elementary in Clark County, which had entries from 100% of their students! We asked children in grades K-5 to write 100 words about “The Day I Traded Places With My Pet…” This proved to be a creative story starter. Children told us of their wild adventures as dogs, cats, chickens, snakes, hamsters, unicorns, rabbits and
even a fish named Elvis. The pets in their stories went to school, explored the backyard, got into trouble and even went on adventures in outer space. Essays were judged in three grade categories, K & 1st, 2nd & 3rd and 4th & 5th. Prizes were awarded to both boys and girls. Winners received prizes from American Girl, BreyerFest, Popar Toys and PoofSlinky. Entries were judged on how well they fit the theme, how creative they were and how well they were written. (For a complete list of winners and their essays, plus our honorable mention winners please visit www.lexingtonfamily.com) Look for all the details on next year’s contest starting in January. Essays will be due at the end of March 2015. 2014 Grand Prize Winners K-1st grade: Girls: Emma Natof (Rosa Parks

Auditions for LCT’s ‘Beauty & the Beast’ Are Set for May
By Lesley Iwinski
Don’t Let the Month Of May Overwhelm You
M
ay is the new December... especially if you have children in school! There are picnics, band concerts, plays, choral recitals, piano recitals, end-of-year parties, dinners, graduations, start of summer sports, silent auctions, and a whole host of other activities. Multiply by the number of children in your household, and you can feel the stress rising! Here are some tips to get you through the month of May with more serenity and less anxiety: t Prioritize. Move as many doctor, dentist, orthodontist and other health visits to the summer or early fall if possible. There is no prize for getting everything on your list done this month. Keep your own schedule free from nonessential activities. t Volunteer for ONLY ONE THING! Stress trickles downhill, and the more things you take on, the more unruly your brood will become. Choose an even keel over a stormy sea. t Keep your batteries charged. Now is the best time to do the things that make you feel renewed and energized: exercise, meditate, walk, run, do yoga, read in the hammock, get pizza instead of cooking… Follow your own leads. When you keep yourself refreshed, you are a great gift to your family. t Be intentional about family time. Call a fun Family Meeting to discuss each
person’s Summer Dreams. Everyone lists five things they want to do over the summer and shares them with the family. The only rule is that no one can put down another’s dreams. See if you can find ways to combine and take turns to fulfill as many as possible. Take out a calendar and schedule whatever you can. t Summer reading lists usually come home in May. Reserve the books at the library, visit your favorite bookstore, or plan to “split” the books with other parents and share them. It’s good to incorporate reading time into summer schedules from the beginning. If you can choose just one of the ideas above and implement it, you should notice that this May is a little less stressful than those in previous years. You might even find that you enjoy your days! Share other ideas for making summer more intentional on the Facebook Page for Growing Peaceful Families. Look for the invitation to share posted on www.facebook.com/pages/GrowingPeaceful-Families/204611516234278 Y

my new heartbeat Leaving the park with an unwilling toddler is a delicate situation. If the toddler is like my daughter, she won’t want the fun to ever end. So, she resists. Loudly. You can try to bribe the child to leave peacefully. Katie Saltz with CeCe Or you can drag them away as they scream “NOOOOO!!! STOP!!!!” Either way, you look like a child predator.

was trying to kidnap my own child. From a distance, all you see is an adult forcing a screaming child into a van. I’m often tempted to shout at strangers, “It’s ok! I promise she is mine! I have the stretch marks to prove it!” I’ve attempted techniques of negotiating: “If we leave the park with no crying, we can get ice cream on the way home. “Then if we leave the ice cream parlor without a tantrum, we can watch an extra hour of TV at home ...” Eventually, you run out of treats. Next was a system of fair warning: “Forty-five minutes left! Twenty minutes until we leave! Five more minutes!” I discovered that this just gives her ample time to hide from me in a jungle gym crevice

C
elebrate 15 years of Jarrett’s Joy Cart with a “The Sky is the Limit” event at the Aviation Museum of Kentucky on Saturday, May 17, 7-11 p.m. Jarrett’s Joy Cart began its charitable mission 15 years ago when Jarrett Mynear, a young cancer patient with big dreams and an even bigger heart, started to distribute toys to other critically ill kids in the hospital. Though Jarrett did not survive, his charity lives on, bringing comfort to tens of thousands of critically ill children across Kentucky. Every Tuesday, volunteers go room-to-room at Kentucky Children’s Hospital to let a child pick a toy from Jarrett’s Joy Cart.
Toys are gathered either by fundraising or by donations from children who choose to give-up their own Christmas or birthday gifts. “The Sky is the Limit” event will feature cocktails, food, games and dancing to celebrate Jarrett’s Joy Cart. Live and silent auctions will take place to benefit the charity and to expand its outreach. Info: Jennifer Mynear, (859) 338-2618, jwmynear@ aol.com or www.thejoycart. com. Y
Innovation, Culture and Community Service Follow BYB Into Its 10th Year
luegrass Youth Ballet’s slogan is “No Dream is too BIG!,” and Founder and Director Adalhi Aranda Corn knows that first-hand as BYB celebrates its 10th anniversary. “I’m just so proud,” Corn said. “These 10 years are the result of hundreds of people believing in the mission of BYB and working endlessly toward what we have today.” BYB has grown from 40 to 250 students. Its mission is to provide dance education in a positive environment for all youth through highquality training, innovative performances and cultural experiences. Corn is known for her original ballet programs that infuse global flavors and culture. School performances include teacher guides to help bring the arts into the classroom. BYB celebrates its 10th anniversary 12 | www.lexingtonfamily.com
with Art Rhapsody, a new and original work that consists of a collage of dance pieces imitating artwork by famous artists such as Van Gogh, Degas, Monet Kandinsky and others. The public shows at the Lexington Opera House are Friday, May 2 at 7 p.m. and Saturday, May 3 at 2 p.m. Tickets are $15 & $18. Info: 233-3535. In 2013, BYB created a studio within the Jesse Higginbotham Neighborhood Center in Valley Park in the Cardinal Valley neighborhood, a predominantly Hispanic community. Students attend at reduced rates or on scholarship. “It is important to provide children with as many positive experiences in their life as possible to help them develop and to grow,” said Peggy Henson, 11th District Council Member and a staunch supporter of BYB’s outreach program
that serves her constituents. The program has been so wellreceived that city officials have approached BYB about taking the concept to other neighborhoods. “It’s been extremely beneficial to the Cardinal Valley neighborhood, and we would like to see it expanded,” said Rudy Cruse, Recreation Manager for Lexington Parks and Recreation. “We are looking to expand this type of programming in underutilized buildings and parks to other organizations in hopes of replicating what they’ve done in Cardinal Valley.” Said Corn: “I have seen how the discipline of this art transforms lives, and I truly believe every child should have the opportunity to dance.” When asked whether she ever thought BYB would be where it is today and what she sees for the future, she’s quick with an answer. “Absolutely!” said Corn. “And, we’ll have 100 years more!” Y

Mother’s Day Centennial A century ago, President Woodrow Wilson declared the first national Mother’s Day, on Sunday, May 8, 1914. So get ready to celebrate the 100th official Mother’s Day this year, Sunday, May 11. Cards, flowers, gift cards, dinner, clothing and jewelry are some of the most popular ways Americans will honor their mothers. However you chose to show Mom how much you care, make this year count. After all, Mother’s Day only turns 100 once.

Handmade Gifts Mom Will Love Y Sharpie coasters: Use ceramic tiles, colorful sharpies, rubbing alcohol and an eye dropper or spoon. Draw (or scribble) big swatches of color onto the tiles. The colors will blend, so don’t be afraid to get creative. Using the eye dropper, squeeze one drop of rubbing alcohol onto the colored tile. Wait while the alcohol blends the colors, and then repeat until you’re happy with the results. Y Breakfast: Treat Mom to her favorite breakfast. Get creative by making pancakes into different shapes, making images on the plate. For extra flair, add flowers either in a vase or the edible kind. For inspiration, google “Bento box” and click on images. Y Coupon book: Write out favors on note cards, decorate and staple. Whether you promise to do the laundry, clean the living room or give an extra hug, Mom will love this thoughtful gift.
Did You Know? 1) Carnations are the unofficial flower of
Mother’s Day. The tradition began when the holiday’s founder, Anna Jarvis, provided 500 of them on the first informal celebration of Mother’s Day in 1908.
2) In 2013, the National Retail Federation
estimated that American consumers would spend more than $20 billion celebrating Mother’s Day.
3) One-fourth of all holiday sales of flowers and plants occur on Mother’s Day.
4) Approximately 122 million phone calls are made to U.S. moms on Mother’s Day.
5) Nearly 50 countries celebrate Mother’s
Day. Among them are Argentina, Indonesia, Mexico, New Zealand, Sri Lanka, Turkey and the United Kingdom.
6) The record for the oldest woman to give birth is 65 – a woman in India in 2003.
The Animal Kingdom t Kittens are born both blind and deaf. The vibration of their mother’s purring is a physical signal that kittens can feel – the purring acts as a signal to nurse. t Mother giraffes often give birth standing, so a newborn’s first experience outside of the womb is a 6-foot drop. t The mother orangutan reconstructs her home of leaves and sticks every day. The average mother will inhabit 30,000 new homes during her lifetime. t Many of the functions performed by females in most species are handled by dads in seahorse couples. t The African elephant has the longest pregnancy among all mammals, averaging 22 months.

To Eat: Blueberries: They’re small but they pack a mighty punch. Besides being rich in antioxidants, new research suggests that these blue gems can improve memory. Dark Leafy Greens: Chock full of calcium to strengthen teeth and bones, and vitamin C to help your body make collagen (this makes up the cartilage in your joints –bye bye arthritis!)
To Know: The Alzheimer’s Association recently awarded its largest-ever research grant of $8 million to Dr. Reisa Sperling, professor of neurology at Harvard Medical School and director of the Center for Alzheimer Research and Treatment at Brigham and Women’s Hospital and Massachusetts General Hospital. She also is the co-principal investigator of the A4 Trial – a clinical study aimed at slowing memory loss in people with early signs of Alzheimer’s. With the grant, researchers hope to determine causes for Alzheimer’s and develop a risk profile to determine if, and under what circumstances, early screening may be necessary. Info: www.alz.org.
To Do: Just because the 20-somethings have overrun the gym doesn’t mean you have to stop exercising. Being active beefs up your muscles, improves coordination, protects against nasty diseases and releases endorphins, the “happy chemical,” to help beat the blues. So, what are you waiting for? 1). Endurance: Your heart is a muscle. Like all the other muscles in your body, it requires exercise to stay strong and healthy. Brisk walking, swimming, dancing and yard work will strengthen your heart and can help stave off diabetes and heart disease. 2). Strength: Muscles, meet your maker. Biceps curls with light weights, resistance band pulls and wall pushups will help keep your muscles up to snuff. 3). Balance: Core muscles keep you centered and balanced. Both Pilates and Tai Chi methods work wonders on stabilizing muscles. Standing on one foot and heel-to-toe walks are great home exercises too. 4). Flexibility: Being limber helps prevent injuries. Stretch often to allow a wider range of motion and more freedom of movement.
28 | www.lexingtonfamily.com
Salmon: Yes, for the omega-3 essential fats (the good kind), but also for a newly discovered protein that provides special support for joint cartilage, insulin effectiveness and inflammation control in the digestive tract. Olive Oil: Minimize cancer risk, lower cholesterol and blood pressure, improve blood sugar, reduce rheumatoid arthritis risk and strengthen your bones. What’s not to love? Bonus: It makes a great natural makeup remover. Carrots: Rich in beta-carotene, which the liver converts to vitamin A, Bugs Bunny’s favorite snack can improve vision. Carrots also contain antioxidants, which slow down the aging of cells. Bananas: Eat to protect against muscle cramps and relieve anemia. Also, the FDA has officially recognized the banana’s power to lower blood pressure and protect against heart attack and stroke. You can thank the potassium. Kelp: Yes, this is seaweed, and, no, you don’t have to eat it raw. Kelp supplements offer all the benefits without the yucky taste. It helps to regulate the thyroid. Bonus: It protects against radiation poisoning. Sweet Potatoes: Looking for your daily dose of vitamin D? Look to the sun no more – sweet potatoes are loaded with it. And to maintain healthy artery, blood, bone, heart, muscle and nerve function, they contain magnesium.
We choos e Passport because they hel p us understan d our son’s diabetes.
We’d heard of diabetes before, but when the doctor said that’s what Miguel had, we really didn’t know what it meant. It was scary at first. But the diabetes educator at Passport really took the time to help us understand what we needed to do. Like the kinds of snacks he needed to carry with him in case his blood sugar dropped. We didn’t think life would ever get back to normal again, but it nearly has. That’s why we choose Passport. Find out if you qualify.

The Personal Touch
Financial Advisor Jason Veinot Treats Clients Like Family
W
ho knew that a Christmas present to a 10-yearold boy more than 30 years ago would lead to a satisfying career in financial planning for Jason
Veinot? Veinot, 42, found seven shares of Wendy’s stock under the Christmas tree in 1982, chosen by his father because the Lexington family ate at Wendy’s every week.
Young Jason followed that stock like a sports fan tracks a baseball team, starting a lifelong fascination with all things financial. “I’ve always enjoyed investing and managing money,” he said. “I also like to study business cycles and how markets work.” He also enjoyed work itself, particularly on his own. As a 13-yearold, he walked his neighborhood in Lexington, selling house number signs to residents. Through his teens, he washed cars, shoveled snow and cleaned gutters after school and on weekends – all while rising every morning at 4:30 to deliver newspapers. While at UK, Veinot formed an investment club and also worked at a health club and a nutrition store. After he graduated in 1996 with a degree in business finance, he took a sales job at Lexmark but watched as stricken employees faced layoffs and an uncertain future. “That was awful,” Veinot said. “I could see how upset people were, how frightened they were for the future. I saw it as an opportunity for me to help.” That help began in earnest in 1998 when he left Lexmark and became a licensed financial advisor and
investment representative working with American Express.
V
einot embraced the challenge of helping clients but felt hamstrung by aligning himself with only one company. He realized he could better serve clients as an independent financial advisor and has worked that way since 2002. In 2010, he formed Enhance Wealth with his wife, Ann, who is an insurance and long-term care specialist. “As an independent, I can be client focused instead of company focused,” Veinot said. “We are not tied to specific companies or services so the client determines what is best for them. “I have always realized that these are real people grappling with the difficult problem of saving for retirement and managing that money in retirement.” That challenge has spiked in the 21st century when the ground twice shifted under clients with big market drops in 2002 and 2008. Six years ago, some folks lost 40% of their net worth virtually overnight. The problem, according to Veinot, stemmed from outdated investment strategies that failed to grasp new market realities. Jason Veinot is an author, radio show host, and owner of Enhance Wealth, a consulting firm specializing in Social Security maximization, lifetime income planning, and low-risk, high-yield growth plans. For questions or a review of your situation, contact Jason directly at 231-6622 or info@ enhancewealth.com.

“The markets had changed, but the strategies had not,” he said. “I feel that what separates me from everyone else is that I don’t believe in buy-and-hold and waiting through the bad times. The key is to ride out the good times and to protect during the bad times.”
M
any Veinot clients have adopted his protect-andgrow strategy. They want to protect their principal and generate cash flow while also allocating some funds for growth. Linked investments with large insurance companies provide income protection and cash flow. Proven money managers with track records for success in good times and bad plan for growth. Art Thomas, a 68-year-old retired coal company executive who lives in Lexington, attended a Veinot seminar and was intrigued with his approach. Like many retirees, Thomas was rattled by the seismic changes in the market. “I felt frozen, scared of the markets. I couldn’t afford another 40% drop,” he said. “Jason didn’t have a canned approach and I liked his focus on planning.” After three or four subsequent meetings, Thomas shifted all his investments to Veinot. “Jason makes everyone feel like he or she is the only client he has,” Thomas said. “If I send him an e-mail with a question, he replies promptly and in great detail.” Those words are gratifying to Veinot, who prides himself on customer relations, particularly with retirees. He admired his grandparents, Lois and Wayne Carrico, who were married for 72 years, and vows to treat his clients like family. He also has managed the investments of his 60-something parents, Sandy and Richard, since 2000. Said Veinot: “I know the threats that people in retirement face, and it makes me sleep well at night to know that I am making them feel secure.” Y

members. “Residents get to spend quality time with their adult children instead of asking them to care for them,” said Autumn Dominski, The Lafayette’s marketing director for four years. “This creates peace of mind.” Peace of mind also comes with the safety The Lafayette provides. Someone is there 24/7 so residents can get help immediately, which is not always true at home. Lexington Country Place, which has served Lexington for 34 years, is attached to The Lafayette and features personal care and skilled nursing care. Personal care has 22 apartments, and skilled nursing care has 111 beds. Between the two, residents can “age in place.” The Lafayette boasts 16 different apartment floor plan options, ranging from small studios to 1,000 square feet, two-bedroom apartments. The Lafayette features 149 apartments and houses 164 residents, both singles and married couples. Said Dominski: “Our residents always say the same thing, ‘I wish I would have moved here sooner.’” Y

Daisy Hill Senior Living Community in Versailles
Small Town Living With Urban Access
F
or older adults looking for the best of both worlds – the small town living you want and the urban access you need – Daisy Hill Senior Living Community in Versailles might be the ideal setting. The assisted living community contains 45 apartments, from studios to twobedroom units with screened in porches, in a building that sits next to an 18thcentury farmhouse that has been in the same family for nine generations. Daisy Hill is less than a half-mile from the quaint downtown of Versailles and yet affords easy access to the medical and amenity hub of Lexington. “Versailles is such a beautiful place,” Executive Director Chad Helton said. “It gives you that small town feel, out of the hustle and bustle of Lexington. Yet, you’re still just a short drive from the city.” Helton is new to Daisy Hill but not to senior living communities. He has 15 years experience at local communities and his first job in high school was waiting tables at a Lexington community. “That’s when I fell in love with seniors
and the spirit to serve,” he said. Service is the hallmark of Daisy Hill. “Many of the local communities have recently added new buildings and they are beautiful,” he said. “But it’s what inside that counts. “We have compassionate staff members who care for our residents from the bottom of their hearts.” Being small and independent allows Daisy Hill to train staff to meet the needs of each resident as an individual. Helton calls it the “independent difference.” “We train our staff so they can create a unique, individualized experience for each resident,” he said. “We learn about our residents as individuals and what their needs and interests are.” Along with the luxurious apartments, Daisy Hill has beautiful open areas to be shared by all, a dining room with three meals a day served restaurant style and a private dining room for special occasions. A multi-purpose room with a patio and salon sit at the rear of the building, and residents can enjoy an enclosed, open air courtyard with a sitting area and flowers.
Some of the apartments open up to the courtyard. Helton has hired a new social director who will emphasize arts and sciences so that residents can engage their minds. Common activities will include shopping sprees, trips to Keeneland, guest speakers and access to Falling Springs Park and Recreation Center and much more. “We want to make every moment better for our residents,” Helton said. “We offer a gap between independent living and skilled care, and we’re set up to expand that time for residents so they can continue to enjoy their lives.” Y

Hospice CEO Earns National Recognition
retchen Brown, Hospice of the Bluegrass President and CEO, received the inaugural Galen Miller Leadership Award at the National Hospice and Palliative Care Organization’s 29th annual management and leadership conference in March in Washington, D.C. The award was created in memory of NHPCO’s Executive Vice President to honor a leader from the hospice and palliative care community who has improved quality, access and care for all people facing serious and lifelimiting illness. Leading one of the early hospices in the United States, Brown has expanded care and services into 32 central,
southeastern and northern Kentucky counties. In addition, HOB operates inpatient Gretchen Brown units in Lexington and Hazard. Today, Hospice serves nearly 700 terminally ill patients and their families each day. Under Brown’s leadership, HOB has also been an innovator in bringing palliative care and transitional care to the communities it serves. “Her program has been at the forefront of palliative care services and serves as a model to the entire hospice community,” said NHPCO President and CEO J. Donald Schumacher. Y

The Difference Between Hospice & Palliative Care
P
alliative care is a fastgrowing medical field, but what exactly is it and how does it differ from Hospice care? The Center to Advance Palliative Care defines palliative care as “specialized medical care for people with serious illnesses. “This type of care is focused on providing patients with relief from the symptoms, pain and stress of a serious illness whatever the diagnosis. “The goal is to improve quality of life for both the patient and family. “Palliative care is provided by a team of doctors, nurses and other specialists who work with a patient’s other doctors to provide an extra
layer of support. “Palliative care is appropriate at any age and at any stage in a serious illness, and can be provided together with curative treatment.” The difference between the two is that palliative care is for any individual with a serious illness, and hospice is for individuals in the last six months of life. Hospice of the Bluegrass offers both palliative and Hospice end-of-life care. If you or someone you love could benefit from palliative care, talk with your physician. Physicians, physician assistants and nurse practitioners can refer a patient to the HOB Palliative Care Center either by written order or by calling 278-4869. Y

ndependent, maintenancefree, convenient. In other words, Ashgrove Woods, a new 20-acre residential development, is tailor-made for those older than 55 to “age in place.” Ashgrove Woods is steps from Bridgepointe at Ashgrove Woods, an assisted senior care residence offering memory care and an adult day center. Ashgrove Woods sits in Brannon Crossing, which features restaurants, a grocery, movie theater, Central Baptist Annex, a dry cleaner and a furniture store. The focus of Wright Home Designs is to provide hassle free, comfortable living experiences. Offering 1,500 and 2,000-square-foot, one-level

All homes feature wide doorways, hallways and roll-in showers, and the sidewalks in the community are wider than normal. Ashgrove Woods also provides lawn care and snow removal, and Bridgepointe’s restaurant, workout facilities and social activities are available to residents. The complex also has a community walking trail with an entertainment area. There are 20 lots left. “Maintaining strong, healthy relationships is as important as a doctor or a nurse,” said RE/MAX Creative Realty agent Maggie Taylor. “This community provides that.” Y

LearningRx
No More Senior Moments With Brain Training
L
earningRx is for kids only, right? It specializes in improving school performance through cognitive skills training, which creates new neural pathways. That’s true but think again. LearningRx can help seniors too, not by creating new neural pathways but by repairing them. No drugs, no medication, no special diets, just brain training. Brain training works by “exercising” cognitive skills – the underlying processes the brain goes through to function properly. The brain relies on strong neural pathways, the same way the body relies on strong bones and muscles to stay healthy. The less the brain is used, the more likely cognitive skills will suffer. If your cognitive skills aren’t up to speed, no matter what kind of information you try to grasp – or how many times you try to grasp it – the process can feel sluggish and slow. Brain training targets seven specific areas of cognitive ability: t Processing speed t Auditory processing t Visual processing
38 | www.lexingtonfamily.com
t Long-term memory t Short-term memory t Attention skills t Logic and reasoning. LearningRx offers adult skill-specific training to target and strengthen all seven major mental skill groups. The brain training exercises were developed to take advantage of neuroplasticity and cognitive reserve – two fancy words that stand for the brain’s life-long ability to adapt, develop and expand. Recent research suggests long-lasting benefits of brain training for all ages and a strong correlation between brain training and decreased risk of Alzheimer’s. The neural pathways that brain training can build and repair help stave off the typical negative effects of aging on memory, comprehension and reasoning. In fact, they could be prevented or reversed. LearningRx offers an affordable cognitive skills test to determine the areas of most difficulty for each individual so that training can be specific. “Senior moments” be gone – brain training can unlock a Fountain of Youth for your mind.

Wiring the Brain For Academic Success By Kimberly Hudson
A
s the end of another school year draws near, I am giddy at the thought of summer and no homework! I love the less frantic summer schedule – after dinner kick ball games, spending time outside and not rushing every minute of the day. During the school year, my middle school daughter struggles mightily, working exhaustingly hard to achieve her grades. I want her to succeed in the classroom as she does on the basketball court. Her academic performance is not as smooth as her driving down the baseline against two defenders. But I know that by providing necessary cognitive intervention she will achieve academic ease and success, just as she does in sports.
D
id you know that the brain’s neuroplasticity responds to specific cognitive interventions and can increase working memory and processing speed, resulting in improved logic and reasoning, as well as greater academic performance? As a speech-language pathologist, I spent years with patients who had suffered a neurological trauma, helping them improve cognitive and communication skills. This same premise applies to our young people who are struggling in the classroom.
Our brain is our computer system. Some of us have a robust processor and great working memory, which allows us to manage information efficiently and with great success. However, some of us have poor working memory and reduced processing skills. It is no different than pitting an older computer against the latest and greatest computer with an amped up processor and the memory of an elephant. The good news is that directed cognitive intervention can boost that slower computer and make it as efficient as the latest and greatest model. Until we address the specific neurological deficits our students face, they will not achieve the academic success they desire. We must look at our students in the same light and provide the necessary tools to improve their memory system and processing speed. The medical evidence supporting the ability to improve the programming of our brain is abundant.
T
he Curious Edge can assess your student and customize an intervention to allow for greater academic success. Please call our office or visit our website and learn how your student’s own computer system can be bolstered to pave the way for greater academic success. Y

Marijuana: The Case Against Legalization
F
By Donna Wiesenhahn
olks pushing for the legalization of marijuana and medical marijuana have made their issue resonate with the American public. Proponents have focused on reducing the prison population, aiding the sick and stimulating the economy. The campaign is working because public opinion polls show an increasing tolerance for marijuana use. Although proponents make compelling arguments, research continues to show troubling statistics about marijuana use, particularly for young people. If those of us who oppose legalization rely on that research to present a consistent message, an argument would look something like this:
C
t If our community cares about IQ levels and academic performance, we need to oppose medical marijuana and marijuana legalization. Why? w Marijuana use lowers IQ. A recent study found that those who used cannabis heavily in their teens and continued through adulthood showed a permanent 8-point drop in IQ. w Marijuana use negatively effects motivation, memory and learning. w Youths with an average grade of D or below were more than four times as likely to have used marijuana in the past year as youths with an average grade of A. t If our community cares about jobs, we need to oppose medical marijuana and marijuana legalization. Why? w More than 6,000 companies nationwide and scores of
industries and professions require a pre-employment drug test. w With approximately 24% of high school seniors in Fayette County public schools stating their use of marijuana in the past 30 days, their chances of employment are drastically reduced. t If we care about highway safety, we need to oppose medical marijuana and marijuana legalization. Why? w Marijuana is the most prevalent illegal drug detected in impaired drivers, fatally injured drivers and motor vehicle crash victims. w According to Colorado Department of Transportation, the number of drivers testing positive for marijuana in fatal car crashes doubled between 2006 and 2010. w 74% of teens in treatment for addiction in Denver report getting their pot from medical marijuana card holders. We need more research on the chemistry of marijuana – the chemicals that make it a “helpful” drug. Before we embrace the legalization of marijuana, we need more discussion, more research and must consider the risks to our kids, our community and our economy. Donna Wiesenhahn is the Regional Prevention Director for Bluegrass.org. for more information about marijuana, visit www.drugfreelex.com. Y
New Law Bans Sale of E-Cigarettes to Minors
alling the measure a big victory for efforts to reduce tobacco use in the state and particularly among young people, Gov. Steve Beshear signed Senate Bill 109 into law, banning the sale of all types of e-cigarettes to minors. The governor specifically urged legislators to pass this bill during his State of the Commonwealth in January and identified this effort as a key part of his legislative agenda. SB109 prohibits the sales of all types of e-cigarettes to minors, regardless of whether the devices use nicotine. Food and Drug Administration testing has found that a

number of e-cigarettes sold as “nicotine-free” actually contained the drug, and the largely unregulated nature of e-cigarette products at present creates enforcement issues around youth access for state agencies, retailers, school districts and parents. The effects of SB109 are especially important now. Between 2011 and 2012, the percentage of all youth in grades 6th to 12th who had tried e-cigarettes doubled, with e-cigarettes being increasingly marketed to minors. The vast majority of youth who have used e-cigarettes have also smoked conventional cigarettes. Y

Poor Grades? Vision Therapy Can Help
W
ith the school year coming to a close, some families are facing a disappointing reality – their child’s performance doesn’t match his potential. The signs have been present. Poor grades, homework struggles, even behavior problems in some cases. Dr. Rick Graebe, a behavioral optometrist in Versailles, has treated children like this for more than two decades. “When bright kids aren’t showing how bright they are, Vision Therapy might be a promising option,” Dr. Graebe said. Vision Therapy, a kind of physical therapy for the eyes, brain and body, is neurocognitive training that creates new, permanent pathways in the brain Dr. Rick Graebe Family Eyecare Associates & Children’s Vision and Learning Center 105 Crossfield Drive, Versailles www.myfamilyvision.com / 859.879.3665
that provide life-long benefits for the patient. Vision Therapy treats the entire visual system. Often, a child has perfect 20/20 eyesight but is working with an inefficient visual system. This program treats dysfunctions with visual efficiency, visual processing and sensory integration. Visual efficiency dysfunction is the inability for the eyes to focus and to track across a line together. This often results in reading problems because a child working extra hard just to follow along the line of a page has poor comprehension and loses interest in reading. Visual processing dysfunction deals with visual memory and the brain’s ability to process what the visual system sees. A person with this dysfunction may have trouble forming a mental picture of the words he has just read. Consider a person who doesn’t speak French reading a French
story. Although he can see the words perfectly, the brain can’t process or understand what was read. Sensory integration dysfunction is the inability of the senses to work in harmony. Along with reading issues, this may also cause clumsiness and over sensitivity to high stimulation settings. Vision Therapy addresses these issues in a 30-week or shorter program that consists of nonacademic, fun games that use prisms, lenses, balance beams and even a trampoline. The walls of Dr. Graebe’s office are covered with testimonial letters from families whose children have benefited from Vision Therapy. “This is what I’m here for. I love it,” Dr. Graebe said. “If we can help make a person’s life easier, that’s very rewarding. “Reading is so important in our world. If you become a good reader, you can learn anything.” 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 Kevin Skidmore O.D.

8 Signs That Should Never Be Ignored
C
hildren get hurt. They also get sick. These things are a part of childhood. In nearly all cases a child will be just fine despite all of the mishaps and infections that may happen to him. There are some signs that a child may show that should never be ignored. 1) t Choking is an event that usually gets everyone’s attention. A child who is really in trouble will be unable to cry, talk, cough or even breathe. She may get a panicked look on the face. 2) t Gasping for air also gets attention. If a child’s eyes, lips or tongue is swollen, especially if hives are noted elsewhere on the body, this could be the sign of a severe allergic reaction (anaphylaxis). If not, it could be a sign of infection-induced upper airway swelling (croup, epiglottitis, etc.). 3) t Grunting, panting or whistling when breathing in or out can be ominous signs. Children having an asthma attack, a lower respiratory tract infection (pneumonia, bronchiolitis, etc.), or a leaking of air from the lung into the chest cavity (pneumothorax) may also make gasping sounds. Children may breathe rapidly and grunt. The skin around the ribs
may suck in with their efforts to breathe. Blueness around the mouth (or of the head and trunk) can be a sign of decreased oxygen getting into the bloodstream from the air. 4) t Cuts that gape open should be evaluated, especially if bleeding from them does not stop after holding pressure on them for 10 minutes. They may need stitching or gluing. 5) t Fevers of 100.4 or greater rectally in an infant less than 3 months of age should never be ignored. Neither should unexplained fever in those less than 2 years old that does not go away after 24 hours. 6) t Fevers of 104 degrees or more that do not go down within two hours after anti-fever medication can also be concerning. So are fevers that last four or more days in a row or that go away and come back after 24 hours. 7) t Stiff neck, when accompanied by headache, light sensitivity and fever, should never be ignored. 8) t Purple or red rashes that do not go away briefly when pressed on (“blanches”), especially with the above symptoms, require immediate medical attention. There are many other signs not to ignore in children. Keep in mind that not all have to do with physical illness or injury. Y

igh school soccer fans probably already know that Mallory Eubanks of Tates Creek High is the state’s top player. She is the reigning Miss Kentucky Soccer, was the District and Region MVP last season, is a NSCAA All American and is the Gatorade Player of the Year for Kentucky. What fans might not know is that Mallory is fluent in French, lived in Switzerland for four years and is probably the only high school soccer player in Kentucky to be named to an All-Genevevois team (that’s the Swiss equivalent to All State.) Mallory, a 17-year-old senior who will play at Mississippi State next season, attended College du Leman, an international school in Geneva where her father worked for Lexmark for four years. The experience from seventh-10th grade enriched Mallory as a student and a soccer player. Mallory studied next to students from all over the world. The curriculum was challenging, and the cultural education she received was unparalleled. Besides rubbing shoulders with students of all cultures, Mallory traveled with her family, making stops in England, France, Italy, Germany, Portugal, Finland, Turkey, Russia and Egypt. As a 10th grader, Mallory’s coach
spoke only French, so halfway through the season Mallory had become fluent. That educational foundation served her well when she enrolled in the International Baccalaureate program at Tates Creek. Mallory is in the more challenging full diploma program and has a 4.39 GPA, with a 26 on her ACT. Mallory is a master of organization, keeping a thick binder for each class. For biology, for example, the threeinch thick notebook has 15 colorcoded tabs. Her notes include detailed color diagrams she has drawn. “I like to be organized and I like diagrams because I’m a visual learner,” she said. She’s a vision of speed and deftness on the soccer field where she led Tates Creek to the State title as a junior and to the State semifinals last fall. As a senior and team captain, she scored 37 goals with 22 assists. She scored four goals and had two assists in the Sweet 16 against Bishop Brossart and had two goals and two assists in a 6-1 rout of Scott County in the Regional Final. “She has fantastic foot and body control,” her father Shawn said. “She has speed with the ball and great knowledge of the field, which is why she has so many assists.” As they say in French about her play, “C’est Magnifique!” Y
