HOPE

For many, life is a struggle. Our challenge is to give HOPE to all those who face struggles. Mission of Hope has been blessed with some wonderful seed money, but needs your help to continue its efforts to provide additional educational opportunities to help dreams come true for the children of Appalachia who are deserving of more than just a high school diploma.

PROGRAM

Mission of Hope is now awarding a $2,500 tuition scholarship to a graduating senior from each of the 13 High Schools that students from the 27 Elementary Schools we serve attend after completing the 8th grade. We want students to realize that a good education is the real key to a more successful and brighter future. Graduating seniors who receive these scholarships may pursue a four-year college degree, an associates degree or certification in an area of training from a trade or vocational school. Mission of Hope wants to give each student the opportunity to train in a field of their choice and become a successful wage-earning citizen.

You Can’t Help But Win If You Take the Challenge

f you take the Fit Family Challenge, you’re going to have work at two things – getting in shape and trying hard to avoid winning a cool prize. Lexington Family Magazine’s 2016 Fit Family Challenge is masquerading as a kind of springtime Santa Claus because of all the giveaways that come with it. The showstopper is the grand prize – a trip for four to Universal Studios in Orlando. That winner will be announced at the end of the Challenge, which runs May 1-June 26. To take the Challenge and qualify for that and other weekly prizes, register at www.MyFitFamilyChallenge.com and then track your progress online. The more you exercise and eat right, the more points you accrue, which increases your chances winning. Even though the Challenge hasn’t begun, we’ve already handed out prizes. From the first 100 people who registered as of April 1, we picked three winners.

Writing Contest Winners Announced

ur 12th annual Writing Contest brought in more than 400 entries this year, spanning 47 different schools. Midway University sponsored the contest and provided a $250 prize to the school with the highest percentage of student participation. Lexington Christian Academy won the school prize with 14% of their school entering the contest. Sandersville Elementary and The Lexington Latin School were right behind with 11% school participation each. Children in grades K-5 submitted creative essays about “If My Pet Could Talk …” Some students wrote their essays from the perspective of a talking

animal. Others wrote about the shock they would feel upon learning their pet had such a special gift. We read about talking dogs, cats, horses, elephants, fish and even a pet axolotl. The talking pets did everything from crack jokes, win singing competitions, help with homework, and some even led secret lives before settling down to live as a normal pet. Essays were judged in three categories: Grades K & 1, Grades2 & 3 and Grades 4 & 5. Prizes were awarded to both boys and girls. Winners received prizes from American Girl, BreyerFest and the YMCA of Central Kentucky. Entries were judged on creativity, quality of

Non-Candy Treats Foster Healthy Habits

By Tiffany McAvoy

couple of months ago as my daughter’s ninth birthday approached, I thought of what treat I could make to bring to school. I knew there were a couple of kids with severe allergies in her class, so I ruled out traditional baked goods. We came up with a fun, non-food treat. We bought crazy straws and cut out circles to tape onto them to make each resemble a balloon. Then we typed “Hip, Hip Hooray, it’s Tori’s Birthday” to go on each of the circles. The straws cost $4 and we used paper we already had on hand. The project ended up being a lot less expensive than buying baked goods for 24 students, and it took less time than making cupcakes. After they sang Happy Birthday, Tori passed the straws out to the class. All of the students were excited. Everyone got the same thing and no one was singled out for having a non-allergen treat, nor was anyone sugared up! I watched how excited the kids got about having something that they could keep. It got me thinking about how to incorporate healthier treats into other areas. For our Valentine’s Day party at school, I suggested that the students bring nonfood treats. Kids got creative – Chapstick that read “I’ll ‘stick’ by you” and Valentine pencils saying “You are the ‘WRITE’ one for me.” Using non-candy treats or rewards is not about having strict junk food rules. The goal is for kids to have a healthy relationship with food. An aspect of that is for them to realize that not all treats and parties need to revolve around food. There are other ways to have fun and to celebrate without serving candy. Tiffany McAvoy is the mother to Tristan, 20, Abby, 13, and Tori, 9. She is an elementary school teacher in Madison County and writes about her family’s adventures with food on her blog wackyfoodwednesdays.com. Y

THEIr GoAlS: Rhonda’s fitness goals rest on a tight schedule and a tight budget – something many working families can relate to. The Jacksons’ schedule is jam-packed and as a single mom, gym fees aren’t always feasible. “We want to find something that is sustainable over time physically, due to our crazy, busy chaotic schedule, 10 | www.lexingtonfamily.com

and financially,” she said. The busy schedule also leads to unhealthy snacking. Rhonda wants to find a variety of healthy snacks that she and her daughters can all learn to make. “I’m a snacker,” Rhonda said. “We are on-the-go and our days are long so we snack a lot.” As far as finding time for herself, Rhonda admits that she is not diligent about scheduling self-care, Between volunteering, her children’s extracurricular activities and work, Rhonda hopes to learn how to give herself a break and be more selective in choosing family commitments.

ExpErT AdvICE: Personal Trainer Tara Stamper: “Rhonda wants to make physical activity second nature to her daily routine, and she has expressed concern about being able to afford a fitness

plan. We are going to show her how you don’t need to be inside a gym to be physically active. Our workout plan will use minimal, if any, equipment so activities will require only her body and a couple feet of space.” Nutritionist Lora Jody: “The Jackson family will focus on each child adding a new vegetable each week in order to develop a taste for a variety of healthy foods. We have set the goals for this family as follows: snacks to be healthier, choosing healthy meals when eating away from home, and developing a taste for more variety in the plant foods.” Life Coach Kelly Gore: “I’ve given both families several life coaching assignments that will help them rediscover what they enjoy, evaluate the different facets of their life, and get a clear reality of how they are currently spending their time.” Y

THEIr GoAlS: Getting comfortable in the gym is a first step for the Boyd family. Doug has a back injury from a car accident that makes certain types of exercise painful. He has relied on cycling and swimming, but hopes to find other activities that can help him lose weight without aggravating the injury.

Jennie will start with weight bearing and a cardio program. She hopes to get more comfortable in the gym setting and to pass that along to her daughters. “I want my girls to know how to use any piece of equipment,” Jennie said, “so when they are teenagers or in college, they can walk into a gym and own it.” At the Boyd dinner table, the family plans to transition to a plant-based diet. Not strictly vegetarian, Jennie said, but the family wants to make vegetables a priority on the plate. “I would like to find new recipes that the kids will get excited about and to expand their palette,” she said. Life is busy for the Boyds, and Jennie feels that they are overloaded with responsibilities. Doug travels often and Jennie takes on freelance projects in

addition to being a mother of three. Their “to-do” list often gets overtaken by whatever has the first deadline, and long-term family plans get put on the backburner.

ExpErT AdvICE: Nutritionist Lora Jody: “The Boyd family already eats very healthy but would like to eat more of a plant based diet. I’ve given them recipes for five new plant-based meals. We will also be utilizing new ways of eating desserts and sweets that are healthy.” Life Coach Kelly Gore: “Like most families, they have full schedules and are juggling numerous roles and responsibilities. Our first step will be to get an honest look at their current reality.” Y

St. Joe Maternity Fair Set For May 14

In Praise of My Mother-in-Law

here may not be many women who can say this, but I can with unrestrained conviction: My mother-in-law is a treasure... and she lives with our family!

Alice Iwinski was married to her husband Henry for 31 years. She is mother-in-law to the spouses of her 10 children, grandmother of 33 and great-grandmother of 10. When Henry passed away suddenly in 1981, she moved in with her oldest daughter Judy and her son-in-law Jim, and helped them raise their children Mark, Kaylea and Abby. When Judy died in 2011 from cancer, Alice was worried about where she would live. The story goes that everyone wanted her to live with them, and we won. She is respected and loved by many, known as “Grandma” to her grandchildren’s friends and their spouses, too. Time spent with her – she is in her 89th year – is always precious. In honor of Mother’s Day, I asked for her recipe for being a wonderful mother-in-law. t Love your son- or daughter-in-law as much as you love your child. After all, your child loves that person. t Be grateful for everything. Take nothing for granted. t Support your children and their families when issues arise. t Pray for every member of your family every day. t Stay quiet. Don’t butt in and don’t take sides. Let spouses sort out their own issues I’ve noticed at home and when we go to visit family, she takes a day or so to observe the lay of the land. 12 | www.lexingtonfamily.com

When she notices places she can be helpful, she quietly slides in and helps out. Her primary domain is the kitchen, and if you aren’t on top of the laundry she Alice Iwinski will swoop in and sprinkle her magic there, earning her the nickname of “Folder Fairy.” Alice helps keep Hallmark in business, sending birthday and holiday greetings to her children, their spouses, her grandchildren and great-grandchildren. This is another way that she communicates her love to each of us. She also laughs a lot. She and I are a team. We help one another. We respect each other. Our common faith is a bond within which everything fits. I am trying to be a good student, so that when I become a motherin-law, I will be the blessing to others that she has been to me.

he ability to go back in time would make parenting so much easier. We could go back five minutes, for example, and not leave the toddler unattended with a sharpie. We could rewind long enough to pack those extra baby wipes on that trip to the park that ended with a diaper blowout so extreme, the baby rode home in nothing but a diaper under the car seat buckles. If I could go back in time, I would make a stop to talk to myself before I had kids. I would allow Pre-Kid Katie to ask questions and hopefully my answers wouldn’t scare her into tying her tubes. Here’s how I think the conversation would go: Pre-Kid Katie: Honestly, how painful is labor? Are the

Q&A With My Pre-Child Self movies trying to scare me, or is that accurate? Mom Katie: It’s the worst, most excruciating pain you will never remember.

Does a second baby get the short end of the stick? I’m terrified a second baby won’t feel as loved as the first. MK: Calm down. You are a middle child and you know your parents love you. Parents don’t get a limited amount of love that you somehow have to slice into pie pieces and divide among your children. Your heart fills with love for your first baby. And then grows like the Grinch’s to create even more love for a second baby. I imagine by a third baby your love tank will runneth over. PKK: What about planning for all this stuff? Does life get ridiculously unorganized? MK: Hahaha! I forgot that Pinterest hasn’t been invented yet. }}}

Are you two a team? MK: We are definitely a team. But somehow we are playing different sports. Your husband will parent differently than you. He will fold the laundry differently. He will have his own method for giving the kids a bath. These ways are not wrong. They are just different. Start repeating this mantra and life will be much easier as you both adapt to parenthood. As long as you agree on the big things, let the daily differences go. PKK: How gross are babies? Do you ever get used to changing dirty diapers?

MK: In the future, you will catch vomit in your bare hands. Your daughter will attempt to force feed you boogers from her own nose. You will end up scrubbing toddler poop off the walls and windows, and once you somehow end up with infant poop inside your pants pocket. Kids are disgusting. But somehow their kisses, cuddles, smiles and “I love you’s” weigh more than the dirty diapers and the endless soiled laundry. The scales are rigged, and the love is always heavier. You might change a few things if given the chance, but you certainly won’t let the gross stop you from experiencing the wonderful.

SUMMER CAMPS 2016

By Katie Saltz

here are many reasons to send your child to summer camp – to learn a new skill, spend time with peers or to explore new interests. So what’s holding you back? If you are hesitant about summer camp, it may be based on a misconception. Check out our list of common camp misconceptions and play fact or fiction with us.

Plus, many camps offer scholarships so be sure to ask camp directors about assistance programs.

computer lab or on a stage. Whatever your child’s area of interest, chances are a camp exists to nurture that passion.

Fiction: Our family’s schedule doesn’t work with summer camps Fact: Camp doesn’t have to take up your entire summer. Weekly sessions, drop-in days or partday schedules can be found at a variety of camps. If you are a working parent, ask about extended care. Most camps offer early dropoff and/or late pick-up for a small extra fee.

Fiction: My child is too young/old for camp Fact: Our camp directory has listings starting for preschoolers as young as age 2, all the way through college-aged students. Preschool aged children can be introduced to the world of camp while older teens can move up from camper status to counselor or counselor-in-training.

Fiction: Summer camp is expensive Fact: Tuition from camp to camp has a wide range. Affording a full summer of overnight camp might be out of reach, but a few weeks or days of local camp can fit almost everyone’s budget.

Sayre StudentS

Dig In

Farm Project Blossoms on 10 Acres That Yield Pumpkins, Peppers and Plenty of Educational Growth By John Lynch

o why is an A.P. English teacher leading a group of Sayre School students in an agriculture class? It’s all about roots. At first glance, Sayre’s Courtland Leer seems like an unusual choice to play a key role in the school’s ambitious new school farm project on 10 of the 50 acres at the Sayre Athletic Complex in south Lexington. After all, his classroom specialty centers on rhetorical technique and advanced argumentative structure. But dig deeper (and that’s what everyone is doing at the farm) and you learn that Leer represents the past, present and future of Sayre, Lexington’s oldest private school. Leer, in his fifth year at the school, is a Sayre alum who grew up on a working farm in Bourbon County and knows his way around plants as well as he does participles. “Actually, Sayre has a tradition of drawing students who come from the agriculture and thoroughbred industries,” said Leer, who minored in environmental studies in college and worked on organic farms before becoming a teacher. So Leer was a member Sayre’s farm committee that devised and launched this new hands-on, academic program. And the program has sprouted, blossomed, taken root (the wordplay is unavoidable) among students from prekindergarten through high school.

The primary goal, the school states, for establishing the farm is “to provide teachers with an innovative education tool that gives students a dynamic outdoor environment in which to observe, discover, experiment and learn.”

n little over a year, students have planted native trees and an apple orchard; started an apiary; planted and harvested pumpkins, gourds and a variety of peppers; and planted blackberries and Shitake mushrooms. Leer oversees the mushroom project, which teaches students about ecology, and the life cycle of forests and fungi. Students also will learn about economics as they harvest their first crop and eventually bring it to local farmers markets and restaurants. “Mushrooms help recycle forest matter,” Leer said. “When trees die naturally, mushrooms break them down so that the nutrients Top, students admire their plant bed. Above, the fruits of their labors. can be reused 32 | www.lexingtonfamily.com

as part of the circle of life in a forest.” Sayre students drilled holes in 30 logs to plant the mushrooms and will reap their first harvest this spring. A similar process is taking place with peppers under the direction of Chris McGinley, a middle school English and social studies teacher. Students planted jalapeno and habanero peppers from seed, harvested them, rid the peppers of seeds and added vinegar and sugar to make 100 jars of pepper jelly, which was a popular item at the school’s fall festival. McGinley rattles off the lessons students have learned beyond the obvious agriculture skills. “This has become a science, math and social studies lesson for the students,” he said. “They see how the ingredients all mix together. Students also have worked with scales and accounting to keep track of ingredients.” With proceeds from the jelly sales, the class bought an old-fashioned grinder. Students took an entire class period to grind grains into enough flour to make two corn chips for each student. “This gives students a practical lesson about how hard life is in developing nations where they have to grind their own flour,” McGinley said.

he beauty of the farm is that students of all ages learn similar lessons. In elementary grades, students made pumpkin bread, provided pulp for pumpkin pies, seeds for the salad bar, and Sav’s ice cream and will eventually craft birdhouses from gourds. Their produce also decorated the campus and was provided to families during the fall season. Deborah Melear, the elementary

science teacher, and Joan Skees, the technology specialist in the elementary school, work together to provide farm experiences relating to life science for their students. UK students from an agriculture sorority helped Sayre students plant apple trees and then discussed the various career paths open to agriculture majors. Kindergartners planted native trees on the farm that will eventually be donated to the city to become street trees. The farm committee hopes this becomes a tradition at the school where every student plants a tree. The farm project fits organically with the school’s emphasis on 21st century skills such as creativity, self-initiative and group collaboration, said Stephen Manella, Sayre Head of School. “The farm is a place where students can study science, agriculture, and economics and come to a deeper understanding of the globe and our collective mandate to make it a better place TOPICS INCLUDE: to live,” he said.

Extending the Hope Mission of Hope

Helps Break the Cycle of Poverty with scholarships for appalachian students tudents

t’s scholarship time at Mission of Hope, a Christian charity based in Knoxville that serves Appalachian families in need. MOH’s Scholarship Program supports those who dare to dream, and that number has reached 100 since Mission of Hope started its Scholarship Program in 2009. Along with annual endowments at Alice Lloyd College in Pippa Passes, Ky., and Lincoln Memorial University in Harrogate, Tenn., MOH awards $2,500 scholarships to 13 seniors at high schools in the rural, depressed communities where MOH serves 27 elementary schools. More than half of those schools are in Kentucky. From the high schools it serves, MOH gathers nominees who are recommended by their school principals. Students include a letter with their nomination.

These letters are both heartbreaking and inspirational. Students write about the odds they face and express their determination to surmount those obstacles. “Education is a cycle-of-poverty breaker,” said Emmette Thompson, executive director of MOH. “We know that there are students out there who want to break away, to do what no one in their family has done before. “It starts with somebody believing in you.” MOH supports scholarship winners by pairing them with mentors and honors the recipients with a banquet in the summer when students also receive a free laptop computer and printer. A year ago, MOH assisted a total of 43 scholars. Since 2009, 23 students have graduated. Eight more are on target to earn their

recently assessed an eighth grader who had previously completed two years of Orton-Gillingham reading intervention. She currently makes all A’s and B’s but scored in the 12th percentile in reading on a high school placement exam. This placement exam solidified her mother’s growing concerns about her daughter’s reading comprehension. When I showed the student the letters of the alphabet, she was unable to tell me the correct sound for any of the five vowels. The alarming part of this story is this student had previously been taught this information in a reputable school, reinforced by outside intervention using an Orton-Gillingham program, yet she could not correctly state the short or long sound that any vowel made. No wonder her reading is in the 12th percentile. This story, unfortunately, was not new to me. I had heard parents of our fifth through 12th grade students complain about ongoing struggles with reading comprehension, writing skills and study skills after completing an OrtonGillingham program. I examined our post-test data and met with physicians and neuropsychologists from all over the United States, France and Sweden. I studied the research on neuroplasticity of the brain and the role cognitive processing skills play in learning. Then I dramatically changed our intervention plan and rolled out The Curious Edge Brain Boost Program three years ago. We began incorporating exercises that have to be completed at least four days per week, for two months, to allow for changes in neural activity. This involves repetitive, fast-paced drills. We incorporated synchronized metronome therapy to address neural timing deficits, which are associated with ADHD, dyslexia, autism and other disorders. We also incorporated working memory training and sensory enrichment therapy. We now have three years of data that support addressing cognitive processing skills as the key to improving treatment outcomes and academic successes. Once these deficits are addressed and we have “programmed the code,” the brain is prepared to complete an OrtonGillingham based reading program, as well as other academic interventions, more effectively and efficiently. Since these changes, we have celebrated as students have made honor rolls, earned full academic scholarships, gained self-confidence and have believed in their ability to succeed.

The location also offers a unique relationship with another retirement community – The Willows at Fritz Farm, which is only steps away from Legacy Reserve and will offer skilled nursing care. “We will have a working relationship with The Willows, which could benefit our residents if they should need higher levels of care,” Kennedy said.

Said Scott Goldberg of Atlas Senior Living: “We have been working tirelessly to capture the true essence of Lexington’s distinct culture and are excited to offer an independent senior living experience unlike any other in the area.” Y

Although I’m very sad, I am joyous for my mother’s life and that she died with dignity.” “Our loss is felt deeply by all of us, but knowing my wife was spared suffering by your kind interventions brings comfort.” “Our journey with Dad ended peacefully. You took away the pain and allowed him to be at home which was his number one wish. Your journey must continue as you help other families.”

Childhood Irritant: Hay Fever

llergic rhinitis is probably the most common chronic disease of childhood, affecting approximately 15-25% of American children. Also known as “hay fever,” it is not caused by hay nor is it associated with a fever. it is an overreaction of our bodies to substances (called “allergens”) that are usually harmless to most people. There are two main types of allergic rhinitis – seasonal and perennial. seasonal allergic rhinitis happens during specific times of the year when pollens are released. in early spring tree pollens predominate. in late spring grass pollens become the main ones. in summer and fall weed pollens dominate (including ragweed pollen). These are more common in older children. Perennial allergic rhinitis happens year round and is triggered by dust mites, molds and animal dander. it is more common in younger children. The reaction that causes the symptoms

r. Rick graebe, an optometrist in Versailles, specializes in Vision Therapy, a kind of physical therapy for the eyes, brain and body that has a high success rate for children struggling in school. while countless student careers have been rescued at Dr. Graebe’s office, the practice is not limited to children only. in fact, with another optometrist with extensive geriatric training – Dr. Regina Callihan – Family Eyecare Associates offers cradle to grave care. Eye health is especially important for older adults, who are at risk for macular degeneration, cataracts and glaucoma. “it’s very important for people to get annual eye exams because many of these problems can be nearly 100% treatable if they’re caught soon enough,” Dr. graebe said. t Macular Degeneration Dr. Graebe’s office was the first in the state to install a Macular Pigment optical Density tester.

This painless, three-minute test detects degeneration of macular pigment, which precedes the permanent loss of central vision with macular degeneration. The condition is caused either by too much or too little blood flowing to the eye, resulting in center vision loss. This can affect reading, watching TV or any vision involving detail. Approximately 30% of people 70 and older will contract macular degeneration, which can be slowed by early detection. Dr. graebe recommends tests at age 40.

after lasik surgery. That is why many patients no longer need glasses to see in the distance after a cataract procedure. t Glaucoma nicknamed the “sneak thief of sight,” glaucoma comes with no symptoms and is caused by fluid buildup that leads to excess pressure. it strikes less than 10% of the population but if left untreated, leads to blindness. But if caught by regular examination, it is almost 100% treatable with a simple prescription of eye drops. “it gives us joy to be able to help people and improve their lives no matter their age,” Dr. graebe said.
