from the editor's window...

am am sitting at my computer looking out of the window in my office; the trees are still bare and the lawn is still mostly brown…spring is not here yet! I’m still in a bit of a funk after finishing my second foot surgery last December – my foot remains propped up to prevent it from swelling and throbbing. My doctor tells me that it will be several weeks before I can walk without my “boot” on. This also means I can’t drive yet!

I’m sure those of you who know me, or have had foot issues, can empathize with my frustration. I’m not a person who sits around and waits for the weather to improve before I get up and get active. I want to be out walking my new puppy and riding my bike on the warmer days. Well it’s not going to happen yet! Yes, I’m a little frustrated but I’m not going to stay this way for long though…spring is coming! This month’s magazine features Dr. Bryan Freeman and the staff at Freeman Dental and has a great idea for a unique way to show how much you love your Valentine. We encourage you to support ‘Power of the Purse’ & ‘Paducky Derby’. Both are great fund raising events that benefit women and their families. Don’t forget to purchase your tickets to the PSO’s Crescendo Dinner. We wish all our readers a very Happy Valentine’s Day! There’s never been a better time to share the love in our community.

Editor’s Pick

We recently found a unique gift that seems to be an appropriate antidote to all the negativity going around at present. KindNotes are keepsakes that are designed to be a gift that keeps on giving, and are meant to last a lifetime. They're especially perfect for someone who has everything. Crafted with love, each beautiful glass jar is filled with 31 unique messages enclosed in decorative miniature envelopes for the recipient to open each day or anytime they need a pick-me-up. The idea is to duplicate the charm of opening an oldfashioned letter and have the recipient experience the joy and warmth of each note read. Fully customizable, givers get to decide every aspect of KindNotes, from the envelopes’ design right down to the messages on each note, or you can choose from their collection of pre-made designs. You can find out more at kindnotes.com.

We have a beautiful gift jar of KindNotes that will be part of our giveaways this February. Just visit iListwesternkenctucky.com and click on iWIN to enter!

Karen Hammond CORRECTION

In our December issue ran an article on estate planning, which featured a short story on the O’Nan family. Unfortunately, the article contained some factual errors we were unaware of. PAFM strives to maintain accuracy at all times and we apologize for this error. Readers should note that the O’Nans were divorced at the time of his passing and his family handled his final arrangements.

Your Family & Cosmetic Dentist by Karen Hammond

urchase Area Family Magazine is pleased to introduce our readers to family and cosmetic dentist, Dr. Bryan D. Freeman and the staff of Freeman Dental in Paducah and Mayfield. Dr. Freeman grew up in Calvert City and graduated from Marshall County High School. His beautiful family grace our cover this month: Braxton (age 8), Brennan (age 6), his twin brother Brady (age 6) and their sister Brynlee (age 3). Dr. Freeman played soccer throughout high school and college and is still an avid sportsman today. He enjoys softball and golf. After high school he attended Murray State University where he graduated Cum Laude in 2006. He went on to study at the University of Kentucky College of Dentistry. Once again he excelled in school and graduated Cum Laude in 2010. I sat down with Dr. Bryan Freeman recently to find out more about him, his family and his growing dental practice. His faith has always been a big part of his life. “I feel dentistry is a gift from God and I hope to use it for His glory in all I do,” he said. Dr. Freeman began doing mission work when he was just 15. ”During my first trip to Nicaragua, I was placed in the dental clinic,” he

explained. “I just loved it! In fact I kept going back and made three more trips to Central America before embarking on my college career. I knew I was meant to become a dentist. I recently returned to Nicaragua for my 18th trip and feel that God has brought me full circle - from a young teen assistant to an experienced dentist - serving just the same.” “Away from the office you can normally find me spending time with my family. My wife Brea is the light of my life; in fact, we met in high school. We have been married for 11 years and have ‘a litter of kids!’ As you can imagine with four children we have a busy household. I am very involved with my church, Southland Baptist Temple. I teach a Sunday school class and help with our church camp. I also coach little league and Lone Oak Youth baseball.”

Making Housework a Family Affair

by Amy Noles

arents, trust me here, society will not be pleased with you if you set your kid loose at age 18 with zero life skills, (like how to do laundry without turning it all pink). It’s never too early to get your child to start helping out around the house. But where to start? I mean, what can a teeny two-year-old do? Check out these ideas to turn the chore of housework into a fun family affair.

Tots

Toddlers might surprise you with their mad cleaning skills, like how they can fold napkins and towels and pick up their own toys, even if that just means tossing them into a catch-all like a toy ottoman or set of colorful bins. They can also water plants, feed animals, dry pots and pans, toss wet laundry into the dryer, throw things away, recycle and help put away groceries.

Little Kids

Preschoolers can do all the things a toddler can do plus empty smaller trashcans into a big one, put away silverware, match socks, dust, “mop” and “vacuum” and put away their laundry (hang a wooden rod in their closet low enough for them to be able to hang up their clothes). Jayna Ely said of her now 7-year-old son, “When my son was a preschooler we started a game called ‘clean up hide and go seek.’ One person counts then the other people go hide. Once a person is found we pick up 2, 3, 4, or 5 (depending on how messy the house is) things in the room they hid in.” Set up a chart with simple pictures so your child knows the chores you would like her to do.

Big Kids

School-age kids can do dishes, empty the dishwasher, start a load of laundry, take out the trash, help with bathrooms, vacuum and put away their own laundry. A great way to connect with your child as he gets older, (and more into his pals than his parents,) is to dump the laundry out on the bed then fold it together as you chat. When things get really messy, I like to write chores on pieces of paper, fold them up and put them in a bowl. I have one kid pick a chore and then choose one person they want to help them. For harder chores, create an instruction sheet, put it in a sheet protector, then do the chore with them until they get the hang of it. Whether or not you use an incentive system is up to you. Some parents pay out cash per chore to older kids, depending on the chore, while some may pay with a sticker or the promise of a small toy for a preschooler. Some parents simply use the promise of an outing (park, pool, playdate) as incentive to clean up. Remember that these are kids, and the job doesn’t have to be done perfectly. They will learn it well in their own time. The point is they are learning a life skill, so be patient. And don’t forget to put on some upbeat cleaning music!

BREAD

iCOOK

The Staff of Life by Britt Allgood

few months ago, I was surfing though Netflix looking for something to watch and came across a documentary called Cooked by Michael Pollan. One segment of the program was about making bread. I don’t know about you, but bread is something that has almost always been readily available to me. It got me thinking about bread in general and how prevalent it is in almost every culture. Basic bread is one of the simplest foods we have - it is literally just flour and water. That’s it in the nutshell, although most commercially available breads have additives to improve flavor, texture, and shelf life.

A Field Trip

As a child, I never really gave much thought as to how my bread was made until I took a field trip to a commercial bakery in Nashville. It was quite a sight to see thousands of loaves of bread rising and being baked. Until that point in my life, I hadn’t experienced the sensational aromas that are part of bread making. I came away with a new appreciation for bread which has continued to grow with experiences in my life.

Freshly Baked

One such experience was a family trip to Wisconsin when I was about 10 or 11 years old. During our visit, we stayed with the family of some friends who lived quite a rustic life on a large

PAFM FEBRUARY 2017

Baking Experiments

Since that time, I’ve learned from many sources about baking including pies, cakes, cookies and breads. The most difficult for me has always been bread. My failures have been due to multiple reasons. I may not have prepared the yeast correctly or didn’t have the bread rising in a warm enough location. My patience has never been overly long and I may have baked the bread too soon - I ended up with a heavy and dense loaf suitable for breaking teeth or using in the construction of a wall!

Aunt Pat's Rolls

Aunt Pat and her delicious yeast rolls. dairy farm. The house didn’t have running water and most of the food was harvested from their land. The lady of the house baked fresh bread every day and I recall awakening to that heavenly aroma. At that point in life, my baking knowledge was extremely limited and I don’t know if the bread was sourdough or made using commercial yeast. I remember eating large hand cut slices of warm bread dripping with freshly churned butter and thinking that things couldn’t get any better on a cold winter morning.

My aunt Pat has always been a fabulous baker. She makes fresh yeast rolls for holiday gatherings that are legendary. Someone is always cooking up a scheme to gather up any extra rolls and spirit them away from the rest of the gathering before we realize they are gone. Her secret ingredient is Love, or at least that’s what she tells everyone. I believe her, but I also know that her years of baking experience play a “roll” in their outcome. My Mom and I both like to bake, but we have always had issues with yeast breads. I tried to learn a few other things from Mom, like how to make corn bread, corn light bread, and biscuits. This was a bit frustrating as my Mom had never written down her recipes for them until recently. I still haven’t mastered the former but I did the later. Corn light bread was always a mystery until I finally had the recipe in writing!

My Baking Cookbook

I swear by the Pillsbury Complete book of Baking. It is my go-to source for nearly any recipe involving flour. My copy literally fell apart from use and I spent a few hours one-day punching holes in every page and reassembling the book in a three ring binder that is still in a prominent location in my kitchen. The book contains loads of bread recipes. One of my favorite is the sourdough. The recipe even explains how to make a starter and it works. I have prepared many a loaf of sourdough bread with it over the years. But to quote the New York Times, “Sourdough Starter, America’s rising pet.” That should say it all

Sourdough

Sourdough starters require care. Let’s also be clear, sourdough isn’t just a style of bread but an ancient, dare I say ‘traditional’ way of making proper bread. Traditional sourdough starters rely on naturally occurring yeast that is less vigorous that it’s commercial counterpart and requires time. The starter is the means to make the bread rise though the act of fermentation and can be affected by the type of flour used, humidity, and temperature.

Preheat & Get To Baking

I’m always curious about where my food comes from and how it is prepared. Bread is no exception and I’m opening my mind to new types of breads and how they are prepared. I hope you are curious about these things as well and take the time to bake a little bread and share it with those you love. I’m sharing the Pillsbury sour dough recipe because I have used it before and am confident in it. I’m also sharing my Mom’s corn light bread recipe and my Aunt Pat’s roll recipe with you. Live, Laugh, Love and Eat Well.

1 cup starter 5½-6 cups all-purpose flour ¼ cup sugar 1 TBSP salt 12/3 cups warm water 1/3 cup oil Preparing the starter: In a large nonmetal bowl, dissolve the yeast in 2 cups warm water (105° to 115°F) and let stand 5 minutes. Add 3 ½ cups flour and sugar then blend well. Cover loosely with plastic wrap and cloth towel. Let stand in a warm place (80 to 85F) for 5 days, stirring at least once per day. When starter is ready for use, it is bubbly and may have a yellow liquid layer on top. Stir well before using.

when tapped lightly. Immediately remove from pans and allow to cool on wire rack for 1 hour or until completely cool. NOTE: If starter will not be used immediately, cover and refrigerate until ready to use. Return to room temperature before using. ** If desired, starter can be replenished for future use. After removing 1 cup starter, add to remaining starter 1 cup flour, 2/3 cup warm water (105° to 115°F.) and 1 teaspoon sugar or honey; blend well. Cover loosely with plastic wrap and cloth towel. Let stand in warm place (80° to 85°F.) for 10 to 12 hours or overnight. The starter will become bubbly and rise. Stir, cover and store in refrigerator. Repeat this process each time the starter is used. If starter is used once a week it will remain active. If not used, stir in 1 teaspoon sugar or honey weekly.

Preparing Bread: Place 1 cup starter in a large bowl. Add 2 cups flour, ¼ cup sugar, salt, 12/3 cups warm water (105° to 115°F), and the oil; blend well. Stir in 2 ½ to 2 ¾ cups flour until dough pulls cleanly away from sides of bowl. On a floured surface, knead in remaining 1 to 1¼ cups flour until dough is smooth and elastic; about 5 minutes. Place dough in greased bowl; cover loosely with plastic wrap and cloth towel. Let rise in a warm place for at least 8 hours or overnight. Grease 3 cookie sheets, 9-inch round cake pans or three traditional loaf pans. Uncover dough and punch it down several times to remove air bubbles. Shape into loaves for the pans you are using and place into pans. Cover with loose plastic and cloth towel and let rise in a warm place (80° to 85°F) until doubled in size, 2 to 4 hours. Heat oven to 400°F. Uncover the dough and using a sharp knife, make three ¼-inch deep slashes on the top of each loaf.

Do You Know the

Power of the Purse? by Sarah Ladd

urses are a woman’s best friend and accessory. Or, as my husband is convinced, perhaps they are a portal to another dimension because “how do you get so much stuff into cute little bags?”. Even though I have more purses than I can keep up with, I am like most women: I’m always looking for ways to justify getting a new one. Thankfully for my wallet, I’ve found my justification! Would you love it if you could buy a new purse while supporting a great cause? The Power of the Purse is a fantastic annual event that raises money and awareness about equality for women in the workplace. It may be hard to believe in the 21st Century but for every dollar a man makes, a white woman makes 0.78 cents. African American women make 66.6 cents, and Hispanic women earn only 60.1 cents. This is the most obvious way women suffer in the workplace today. While a fundraiser won’t change things immediately, it can greatly support efforts to enact wage equality for women.

The Power of the Purse

Business and Professional Women’s Foundation (BPW) and United Way of Paducah-McCracken County partners to host the annual Power of the Purse luncheon. BPW was founded during WW2 and a time when married women could not even get hired and continues to fight for women’s equal rights today through pieces of legislation. United Way works to connect people and communities to enrich lives. The luncheon was started as an event to raise money for the two missions while engaging women to get involved, and help make a difference, in their everyday job experience. “We want to empower women”, Betsy Burkeen, United Way’s Resource Development Manager, told me. “We want women to leave the event energized and enthused, then go into the workplace and be the best they can be. Women - don’t be scared to take the leadership positions in your company!”

Purse Auction

After lunch, the main event of the fundraiser happens: A silent purse auction. Many purses are donated to the event and range from designer purses to everyday, frugal bags. Some are large and stylish, some small and practical. In addition to the purse itself, each bag contains more prizes, some smaller and several larger value items. In prior years, these prizes have included free massage certificates, gift cards, condo stays, and beautiful jewelry. The contents will be secret until the purses are all raffled off and then the winners can see what they won.

FEBRUARY 2017 PAFM

Purse Raffle

In addition to the silent auction, there is a raffle for those who do not want to bid or cannot attend the event. Contrary to previous years, the raffle is open pre-event and is available now. Tickets are $5 per ticket or 5 tickets/$20. For this, you do not have to be present to win. The raffle will be available until the event and the winners will be announced after the silent auction. The raffle purses are also stuffed with the three prizes, just like the ones in the silent auction. In previous years some raffle purses have contained up to $100 in cash!

Guest Speaker

Every year, the event has a special motivational guest speaker. Last year, it was Kentucky’s first female Governor in 1983, Martha Collins. This year, Tierra Kavanaugh Turner Wayne will be the honored speaker. Wayne is the founder and CEO of TKT & Associates which is a business that seeks to encourage smaller businesses and minorities through equal opportunities for all. For more information on Wayne and TKT & Associates, visit their website tktandassociates.com. In addition to the guest speaker, the founding members are honored as strong women who have fought for women’s equality over the years.

Mark Your Calendars!

This year’s event will be held on April 11, 2017. April 11 is not a random date - it is Women’s Equal Pay Day and what better way to celebrate it then doing something to change things for women everywhere? “We’re not trying to get people to march into work asking for raises,” Burkeen told me. “We just want to show them that’s its OK to take charge.” This is why the date so important and significant. `Unfortunately, there are limited seats for this fundraiser available, and the event is expected to sell out. It will be held at Walker Hall Event Center, 229 Madison Street in Paducah. It will start at 11:30am and is

Vitamin A A Superstar for the Skin by Evelyn Montgomery Jones, MD, F.A.A.D.

ith so many options out there for skin care products, I have patients ask me on a daily basis, â&#x20AC;&#x153;What are the essentials for improving the look of the skin?â&#x20AC;? Vitamin A shines as a superstar when it comes to good looking skin and needs to be an integral part of almost all skin care regimens. (The exception to this is if you are pregnant or breast feeding. Vitamin A has not been fully studied in these situations and presently should be avoided.)

skin cells to be renewed, reversing the natural thinning of the skin and decreasing irregular texture changes and minimizing brown spots. For the second layer of the skin, it stimulates and supports the collagen that adds to tight, healthy skin while diminishing fine lines and wrinkles.

An Essential Product

Our normal skin has a top layer of compacted skin cells called the Stratum Corneum. These cells help to add to the barrier function of the skin to keep hydration in and infection out. These cells exfoliate off naturally, keeping the skin looking young, vibrant and glowing. However, with the normal aging process, this exfoliation slows down and this layer of stratum corneum thickens, leading to uneven color and texture to the skin. It also accumulates in the individual pores causing them to widen, increase in size and be more visible. The next dreaded, but subsequent step, is the formation of white heads and black heads on the skin.

Good basic skin care must include cleansing and proper toning twice a day, with a fine partial scrub used two to four times a week. The next most essential product to use is Vitamin A. To fight this part of the aging process of the skin, good basic skin care must include cleansing and proper toning twice a day, with a fine particle scrub used two to four times a week. The next most essential product to use is Vitamin A.

How Does Vitamin A Work?

Vitamin A works on our skin at both the epidermis (top, visible layer of the skin) and the dermis (the second layer of the skin). For the top layer of the skin, Vitamin A restores the normal exfoliation and stimulates the

PAFM FEBRUARY 2017

Expect What When Using Vitamin A?

Initially, the skin may get dry and pink or red. Most of the time this is short lived and will improve with continued usage or by decreasing how often the Vitamin A product is applied. Up to 80% of over-the-counter facial moisturizers on the market today consist of large molecules that never get absorbed into the skin. Since they just sit on top of the skin and actually age the skin, I recommend only a medical grade, physician strength moisturizer for dryness. It is also very important to protect the skin with a daily, high quality sunscreen. Ultraviolet light exposure from the sun or from a tanning bed ages the skin and increases the risk of skin cancer. Daily sunscreen usage is a critical part of your daily skin care routine. As we use Vitamin A in our daily regimen and improve the health and glow of our skin, we want to make sure we protect that improvement from further ultraviolet light damage.

What type of Vitamin A Should I Use?

Retinoic Acid For skin with acne, large pores, blackheads or whiteheads, I recommend using a retinoic acid product. This is usually labeled as Tretinoin and comes in strengths from .025% to 0.1%. Ask your dermatologist or aesthetician what strength will work best for your skin type. Many times, once the skin issue is improved, I will have patients switch to a retinol for maintenance. Retinol This is the aldehyde form of Vitamin A and is exclusively used for antiaging. It typically does not cause much irritation and is best used if you do not have large pores, acne, blackheads or whiteheads. It is critical to remember to use a physician strength, medical grade retinol product. For the retinol to be absorbed into the dermis and actively work it must have a carrier molecule to drive it to the second layer of the skin.

How Long Should I Use Vitamin A?

Consistent long term use will give your skin the best results. There may need to be some occasional modifications in strength or application depending on changes in your skin, the season and weather, and environmental exposures. Ask your dermatologist or aesthetician to evaluate your skin for any needed modifications in usage or strength. Let your skin revel in the glory from this vitamin superstar!

The Key to Aging Comfortably by Amy Noles with Jennifer Rodgers, Director of Business Development/Clinical Liaison at Life Care Center of LaCenter Skilled Nursing & Rehabilitation Center

o how hard we work to maintain our youth and health, aging is inevitable. Depending on your health and mobility, as well as how close you are to family members, it is wise to start planning as early as you can for your later years. One of the key questions will be where to live. Will you stay in your home? Will you move in with your children? Ask yourself: “Where will I be comfortable when I start to need help with the daily business of living?”

Aging in Place

Staying in your current home may be ideal but it’s important to keep an open mind. What if living where you are now creates caregiving problems for your children or medical risks for you? Perhaps you don't have children, or they live a long way from you, or you have children you can't depend on - the question becomes even more important. Kindly neighbors running errands, and asking for help from friends who may have health issues of their own, isn't a permanent solution.

Plan Ahead

Taking for granted that your children will care for you as you become older isn’t a plan you can count on. Family situations change all the

Most of us want to "age in place," which means staying at home or in our current living situation. Ideally we will live in familiar surroundings with, of course, occasional side trips to other nice places! And, that works fine as long as we can take care of ourselves. But, what if we can’t, and we have start depending on neighbors, family and friends? Ask yourself: “Who will be there to help, and what can I do, in advance, to ease the transition?”

time and while many adult children hope to be around for their aging parents, life can throw us a curve ball. A new job or a bride in another state may take an adult child far away from home. Or, perhaps they have illness in their family or financial hardships of their own. Whatever comes up, you have to plan for the unknown. Being prepared is probably the most important thing you can do. “Plan ahead for senior living needs before you the decision has to be made immediately,” advises Jennifer Rodgers, Director of Business Development/Clinical Liaison at Life Care Center of La Center Skilled Nursing & Rehabilitation Center. “You should be aware of the services offered in your area including home health, skilled nursing facilities, assisted living, etc. Take a tour of local facilities and ask for a tour packet that contains room rates and services offered. If you are considering assisted living be sure you choose a facility where you feel comfortable. These are all things you should plan to do before the need presents.”

Where Will I Live?

If you are hoping to stay in your home take a hard look at the floor plan. Start by imagining how you’d get around if you were using a walker for instance. In a two story house, you might have to add a bedroom downstairs, or a bathroom to accommodate a wheelchair - maybe even a stair lift? Could you get in and out of the shower or tub safely? Could you reach cabinets, storage and such if you were not able to use a step ladder? A pretty front porch will become a trap if there's nowhere to build a ramp to the sidewalk. Are the doorways big enough to accommodate a wheelchair? Could you get a hospital bed into your home? Could you manage if you were no longer able to drive?

Staying in your current home may be ideal but it's important to keep an open mind. What Help Will I Need?

If you don't want to renovate or, perhaps you should simplify — sell the house now and buy a condominium or smaller ranch style home in the same community. This might allow you to stay close to your friends and social activities. You may eventually need caregiving services, if a spouse or child, or other relative isn't constantly available. You'll also need someone you trust to supervise home-care aides — to be sure they're always doing right by you. Who is that likely to be? Planning how and where you will live in your later years shouldn't be a snap decision made under duress. Your family and trusted advisors should help you plan and be aware of your wishes.

Continuing Care Retirement Communities

Many people these days choose to sell their larger homes in exchange for a lovely apartment in a continuing care retirement community (CCRC). These communities may provide housekeeping, laundry, a common dining room where meals are served, fitness centers, entertainment and activities. They're also safe places to live and may offer new friendships. If you start to fail physically, there's help with bathing, dressing, medications and so on. While CCRCs relieve adult children of the stress of parent care, which is a special gift to kids who live far away, they're also a serious financial commitment.

Assisted Living

For people who stay in their homes until the last possible minute, the best option might become a residence for assisted living. There, you live as independently as possible but can get help with basic physical needs such as dressing and bathing. Like CCRCs, they usually provide activities and a social life. There might be a nursing-home wing attached.

How Will I Pay For This?

The cost depends on the particular property, type of contract you choose, or place you choose to reside. Some contracts cover all your health and living expenses. Others provide residential services but charge extra for health care. For checklists on how to evaluate these, go to the AARP Caregiving Resource Center and CARF.org, the website of CARF International, which accredits many facilities and communities. On the CARF site, type "financial performance" into the search box to read the organization's "Consumer Guide to Understanding Financial Performance & Reporting in CCRCs." Rodgers recommends discussing financial topics with an estate or financial planner. “Find a financial advisor and budget for anticipated future expenses,” she told me. “Research long term care insurance policies and what services are covered to ensure that you get the most for your money.” There are many options to help you pay for many of these senior living options including the sale of property, insurance, savings, investments, or reverse mortgages. The key is talking about this before it becomes an emergency.

So, Your Child Has a New iPad? by David Tindell President at Tindell Tech

"Beam Me Up Scotty!"

echnology has come so far in my lifetime. Things are different now. The tablets used in Star Trek: The next generation are now children’s toys! It’s amazing how much they can learn using these things. They are unfortunately gateways to a lot of trouble for parents too! I’m not saying don’t give your child or grandchild one of these popular tablets. They are many parents first choice for entertainment, gaming and digital learning - replacing TV’s and DVD’s. And they can make great babysitters, right? You just need to follow some guidelines when allowing your child on these expensive devices. I’ll provide some good rules to follow.

your kid doesn’t know it! You might want it to be different from your device passcode too. Once you’ve set a passcode, Restrictions are turned on. You can change any of the settings in the Restrictions window to enable or disable certain features. As soon as you leave the Settings app, these restrictions apply to the device. If you want to change your Restrictions settings, just go back to the Settings app, choose General > Restrictions, and reenter your Restrictions passcode.

Enable Restrictions - Do It Now!

Most of the tips and tricks you’ll read in this article focus on iOS’s Restrictions feature, so the first thing you’ll want to do is enable it. Restrictions let you do things like prevent your kid installing and deleting apps, disable in-app purchases, block websites, lock down privacy settings, and lots more. To enable restrictions, first open the Settings app and choose General > Restrictions to display the Restrictions window. Now tap the Enable Restrictions button at the top of the window. You’ll be prompted to enter a four-digit restrictions passcode. This passcode lets you change the Restrictions settings, so make sure

displayed app. With Guided Access enabled, your kid won’t be able to close the app, start or switch to another app, or cause mayhem in the Settings app. The downside, of course, is that your kid may become bored with using one app, so this option works best with deep, engaging apps that will keep your kid entertained for more than a couple of minutes.

3. Blocking A Specific Website

The web is literally a ‘Pandora's box’ of opportunity. Is there a certain website - or a list of websites - that you don’t want your kid visiting? iOS’s Restrictions let you block websites so that your kid can’t visit them in Safari.

To remove Restrictions entirely, tap the Disable Restrictions button at the top of the Restrictions window, and reenter your Restrictions passcode.

1. Be Careful with Disable Restrictions!

To use this feature, first make sure you’ve enabled Restrictions as described earlier. Now open the Settings app and choose General > Restrictions. Tap the Websites button under the Allowed Content group. This displays a list of options: All Websites, Limit Adult Content, and Specific Websites Only.

It not only removes the Restrictions passcode, but it also loses all of the Restrictions settings you’ve specified, including deleting all of the websites you may have added under Allowed Content > Websites (of which more in a moment). So, only do this when you really do want to remove Restrictions on a semi-permanent basis.

Tap Limit Adult Content, and iOS will now block most well-known adult websites automatically. Now tap Add a Website… under the Never Allow group, and type in the URL of the website you want to block (such as www.example.com) To be on the safe side, you might also want to add variants such as example.com and m.example.com, too.

2. Guided Access - Prevent Your Kid Switching Between Apps

4. I Want To Allow Only Websites I Choose

One of the most effective ways to keep your kid safe on an iPad is to use Guided Access. This feature lets you lock the iPad to the currently-

Rather than blocking a website or two, you can take things a stage further and only allow access to a set list of websites. This is obviously safer than blocking sites, since you know that your child won’t be able to stray onto a new unsavory website that isn’t in your block list. To set up a list of allowed websites, make sure Restrictions is turned on, and open the Settings app. Choose General > Restrictions > Websites as you did for blocking websites, but this time, tap Specific Websites Only. You’ll see a list of Apple-approved websites appear. If you don’t agree with Apple’s choices and want to alter this list, you can tap Add a Website… at the bottom of the list to allow another site. You can also remove a site from the list by swiping left on the site and tapping Delete.

5. Set Age Limits - Block Apps, Music, Movies, TV Shows and Books

What’s the most reliable way to prevent your child stumbling on content that’s too mature for them? Don’t put that content on the device in the first place, of course! However, if you share your device with your kid then this can be inconvenient. Perhaps you want to take a couple of grown-up movies with you to watch on a trip, but you don’t want your kid watching them when they should be playing Plants vs Zombies! No problem! Restrictions in iOS allows you to set age limits on different types of content, from movies through to apps, TV shows, books and music. To use this feature, open the Settings app and choose General > Restrictions. Under the Allowed Content group, choose the type of content that you want to restrict, such as Apps. Tap the maximum age range that you want to allow. For example, to block any apps that are unsuitable for kids under 12, tap the 9+ button.

6. Keep Siri in Check

Siri, iOS’s virtual assistant, springs into life when you click and hold the Home button. Your kid can use Siri to dictate text, search the web, launch apps, and more.

You can lock down various privacy settings using the Privacy group under General > Restrictions in the Settings app. These settings mirror the general iPad privacy settings available under Settings > Privacy, and they control which apps have access to which features of the device. Here are some of the settings you’ll probably want to tweak:

Generally, Siri is squeaky-clean, but if it thinks it hears a rude word it will dutifully display it on screen. No one wants Grandma to be exposed to a string of potty words on her iPad!

• • • • •

You can prevent this happening by choosing General > Restrictions in the Settings app, tapping Siri in the Allowed Content group, and deselecting Explicit Language.

7. Stop Your Kid Spending Your Money

When you hand over your iPad to little Johnny, the last thing you want him to do is rack up a $50 bill on the App Store. Fortunately, there are a few ways you can lock down the device to prevent purchases: Always require a password for purchases. The iTunes Store asks for your Apple ID password (don’t give this to your kids!) when purchasing an item, but there’s a loophole: By default, a purchase made within 15 minutes of the previous one doesn’t require the password to be reentered. YIKES!

Location Services controls which apps can access the device’s location. Contacts controls the apps that can use the contacts on the device. Calendars determines which apps can access your calendars on the device. Photos controls access to the photos taken and stored on your device. Microphone controls which apps can access the device’s mic and record sound.

9. Lastly, Always Have An Active Role In Your Child's Online Development

You should always have an idea what’s going on with their online activities. Now I’m not suggesting being a spy, but I am suggesting developing a relationship without the need for lies. You and your child should be able to openly discuss their online friends, as well as app usage. If they can’t, it’s time to get concerned. The online world is a scary place. It can honestly provide a gateway to thieves, sex offenders or worse if you’re not careful. However, we need technology in our lives today. By following some of these rules and good common sense, you’ll be fine and so will your iPad addicted kids.

If you’re letting your kid loose on your device, I strongly recommend opening the Settings app, choosing General > Restrictions, finding the Require Password setting in the Allowed Content group, and changing this setting from 15 Minutes to Immediately. Once you’ve done this, your password will need to be entered every time a purchase is made:

8. Prevent Apps from Sending Personal Information

By default, it’s possible to allow iOS apps and games to upload quite a lot of personal content onto public servers, including the device’s location, contact details, photos, and sounds recorded with the devices microphone. Naturally you want to be careful about what information your kid is sharing with the world.

iCELEBRATE

by Amy Noles

lack History Month, also known as African-American History Month in America, is an annual observance in the United States, Canada, and the United Kingdom for remembrance of important people and events in the history of the African diaspora. Paducah has several events taking place to celebrate this symbolic month.

Black History @ McLib Evening Upstairs

Oscar Micheaux Oscar Micheaux was born in or near Metropolis, Illinois, on January 2, 1884. He moved to Chicago at age 17 and worked as a porter before moving to South Dakota to farm and write. Micheaux's experiences served as the subject matter for his novel The Homesteader. In 1919, he produced a big screen version of the novel, which was the first full-length feature produced by an African American filmmaker. A sometimes controversial trailblazer, Micheaux continued to make films for the next three decades until his death on March 25, 1951, in Charlotte, North Carolina.

Their monthly Evenings Upstairs event will be on Thursday, February 9, at 7pm. In honor of Black History Month the presentation will be â&#x20AC;&#x153;Within His Gates: Oscar Micheaux and the Rise of African-American Cinemaâ&#x20AC;?. It is presented by Walter Metz, Professor in the Department of Cinema and Photography at Southern Illinois University The Fall 2016 release of The Birth of a Nation, Nate Parker's film about Nat Turner's 1831 slave revolt in Virginia, rekindled the debate over the historical significance of The Birth of a Nation (1915) almost exactly 100 years after the release of D.W. Griffith's film. Metz will explore the first volley in the African-American assault on Griffith's film, led by novelist turned filmmaker, Oscar Micheaux.

Walter Metz is a Professor in the Department of Cinema and Photography at Southern Illinois University, where he teaches film, television, and literary history, theory, and criticism. He has a Master's

degree in Communication Studies from the University of Iowa, and a Ph.D. in Radio-Television-Film from the University of Texas at Austin. He is the author of three books

Read Like A Girl

Also at McLib, February’s “Read Like a Girl” series on Sunday, February 26 at 3pm will focus on Through My Eyes by Ruby Bridges. The discussion is led by Kim Russell of WKCTC. The book is about a tiny six-year-old black child who surrounded by federal marshals walked through a mob of screaming segregationists and into her school on November 14, 1960. From where she sat in the office, Ruby Bridges could see parents marching through the halls and taking their children out of classrooms. The next day, Ruby walked through the angry mob once again and into a school where she saw no other students. The white children did not go to school that day, and they wouldn't go to school for many days to come. Surrounded by racial turmoil, Ruby, the only student in a classroom with one wonderful teacher, learned to read and add.

Black History @ MAC

Maiden Alley Cinema will be celebrating Black History throughout February. They will be showing four African-American films. Beasts of the Southern Wild On Wednesday, February 8, Beasts of the Southern Wild will be playing at 6pm. In a forgotten but defiant bayou community cut off from the rest of the world by a sprawling levee, a six-year-old girl exists on the brink of orphanhood. Buoyed by her childish optimism and extraordinary imagination, she believes that the natural world is in balance with the universe until a fierce storm changes her reality. Desperate to repair the structure of her world in order to save her ailing father and sinking home, this tiny hero must learn to survive unstoppable catastrophes of epic proportions. Malcolm X On Wednesday, February 15 at 6pm Malcolm X is the featured film. This movie is a biographical epic of the controversial and influential Black Nationalist leader, from his early life and career as a small-time gangster, to his ministry as a member of the Nation of Islam.

Hollywood Shuffle The very next night, on Thursday, February 16 at 6pm Hollywood Shuffle will air. Eddie Murphy portrays an actor, limited to stereotypical roles because of his ethnicity, and dreams of making it big as a highly respected performer. As he makes his rounds, the film takes a satiric look at African American actors in Hollywood. I Am Not Your Negro The last film in this series on Thursday, February 23 at 6pm is I Am Not Your Negro. This documentary film by Raoul Peck was released in 2016. Based on James Baldwin's unfinished manuscript Remember This House and narrated by actor Samuel L. Jackson, the film explores the history of race relations in the United States through Baldwin's reminiscences of civil rights leaders Medgar Evers, Malcolm X and Martin Luther King, Jr.

Free Programs to Help Your Children Grow & Learn by Sarah Ladd

or the past five years, McCracken County Public Schools have been participating in an amazing before and after school opportunity called the 21st Century Community Learning Centers Program (CCLC). The CCLC is a U.S. Department of Education program administered through the states; it’s the only federal funding sources dedicated exclusively to after school programs. While not all MCPS have this program, several of them do.

The Lowdown On The CCLC

The 21st CCLC program is an essential part of the No Child Left Behind Act of 2001. The focus is on constructive learning activities during nonschool hours. With caring adult guidance, the program will help to reduce achievement gaps and improve student performance. The total grants award to MCPS is $4.5 million - its a multi-year renewable, highly competitive grant. The first three years each site is awarded $150,000 annually, continuation funding of $125,000 in year four, and decreased funding for the fifth year of $100,000. There are strict guidelines on allowable expenditures, but its at the discretion of the Principals, Program Director and Site Coordinators to determine how funds are used. The 21st CCLC has very specific measurable goals and objectives tailored to each school’s specific need. In McCracken County Public Schools, the 21st CCLC currently serves Heath Elementary, Heath Middle School, Hendron Lone Oak Elementary, McCracken County High School, Reidland Intermediate School and Reidland Middle School with pending applications for Reidland Elementary School and Lone Oak Middle School for 2017-18 school year.

through a wide variety of activities that are designed to reinforce and complement student’s regular academic programs. The program also offers literacy and related educational development to student’s families - and it’s open to all students at the school.

Heath Middle

The program at HMS is offered to the entire school. To be part of the program students just have to bring in the enrollment form. They offer

Endless Opportunities

The CCLC programs are designed to provide opportunities to help students who are at risk meet Federal, State, and local student performance standards. The programs focus on academic, artistic and cultural enrichments in core subjects such as reading and mathematics. CCLC programs also offer homework assistance and development

PAFM FEBRUARY 2017

homework/tutoring every morning from 6:30 - 7 am. On Monday Thursday from 2:30-5pm, they offer club meetings on a variety of topics. The selection of subjects offered just this past fall was impressive: HMS held programs that included Japanese appreciation, photography, archery, coding, art, dodgeball, board games, cooking…the list goes on and on. Beginning in January there will be new clubs such as video gaming, jewelry making, hair/nail design, scrapbooking, Pinterest and even basic ‘guy’ skills. Aaron Edwards, HMS Assistant Principal, teaches a guitar club that lasts the entire school year. Lacey Metzger, site coordinator at HMS and former site coordinator at HES, has been with the program for four years. Metzger told me that she has served over 200 students out of an approximate 515 enrolled, but she would love to see more students get involved. “This is a free program with endless opportunities,” she explained. “This semester we are thinking of peeking students’ interest by displaying some of the crafts or activities that will be happening that week in the cafeteria .”

CCLC's Creative Learning

MCPS’s main goals are to improve the academic achievement and social skills of students and to increase parental involvement in their student’s education while furthering the parent’s career and academic attainment. Chris Stallings has two children that attend Heath Elementary; Calyssa in 3rd grade and Camber in 1st grade. The CCLC funding began when Calyssa was in kindergarten and they enrolled her right away. “We have been very thankful for this program,” Stallings told me. “I have a cousin whose children attend Lone Oak Elementary, and he has to pay for after-school programming - this is free.”

Kids Love It

Stallings can’t say enough about how much his children love attending the CCLC program. “The staff has been so awesome, friendly, and helpful.,” he told me. Sometimes if I show up early to pick my kids up and they are not finished with their craft or activity, they do not want to leave.” Heath Elementary School sends home a monthly calendar in advance for students to pick out which programs that they want to attend. He says that decision-making is sometimes difficult because there are so many offerings that his children want to do. “My kids have loved archery, Lego building, Hooked on Science and Pinterest.”

Hendron Lone Oak Elementary

HLOE has also had great success with this program. Christi Hughes, who is a teacher at Lone Oak Intermediate, said her 3rd grade son Noah absolutely loves attending the after-school programs. Just like the Stallings family, she reports that when she tries to pick him up early he doesn't want to leave. “He has been in a sewing class recently,” Hughes told me. “The quality of learning and the skills that are taught was amazing. He brought home a blanket that he had made, and I could see how diligent he was when sewing it. They are teaching skills about precision and attention to detail that are life skills, not just sewing skills.” Hughes is a teacher so Noah doesn’t have to go to these sessions every day - he goes because he loves it so much. “I have never looked at it as childcare, “ said Hughes. “To me, it’s just an extension of the school day. There is such quality learning happening.”

CCLC's Boundless Learning The 21st CCLC programs serve children preschool through 12th grade, as well as the students’ families. They provide the following services: • • • • • • • • • • •

Remedial education activities and academic enrichment learning programs designed to improve academic achievement. Math, science, arts and music education activities and programs Tutoring services (including those provided by retired teacher volunteers) and mentoring programs Programs that provide after-school activities for limited English proficient students that emphasize language skills and academic achievement Recreational activities Technology education programs Expanded library service hours Programs that promote parental involvement and family literacy Programs that provide assistance to students who have been truant, suspended, or expelled, to allow the students to improve their academic achievement Drug and violence prevention programs, counseling programs, character education programs Summer learning programs

Making Dreams Come to Life Engineer's Day at the Paducah UK Campus

iLEARN

or many people being an engineer sounds like a challenging job choice and some even think that it is too nerdy to be cool. For some people, like me for instance, it is advance math that scares me! But let’s not forget that our grandest and most scenic infrastructure, as well as the technology that lets us enjoy the latest iPhone was all made possible by some variety of engineer. Do you have a Lego fiend in your family? Do you have a kid who just loves building things in Minecraft? Calling all budding engineers - we have just the event for you!

18th Year of Engineers Day

The University of Kentucky’s Paducah Campus (located at WKCTC) is gearing up for its 18th annual Engineers day. This is a time for students and parents alike to become better informed about all that the career of engineering offers us now and in the future. This year’s Engineers Day at the Paducah UK campus is February 25th, 2017. It will begin at 9 am in the atrium in Crounse Hall on the WKCTC grounds. It is expected to last until 3 pm. It is a free event - just bring your enthusiasm! However, if you wish to buy lunch while at the event, it will cost $5 per person.

Join In The "Funshops!"

Engineers Day is a day geared towards Elementary, Middle, and High School students and is designed to excite them about STEM careers (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math) - all with a focus on engineering. On February 25th, student and their families can visit Paducah’s UK campus and learn about the amazing careers that involve engineering. Even better, they will have the opportunity to participate in hands-on “funshops” related to STEM. In previous years, students have made rockets, lava lamps, (made from water, vegetable oil, food coloring, and even Alka-Seltzer), toothbrush robots, Rube Goldberg (continuous motion) machines, motors, and even ice cream! This year is expected to include these shops and more. The goal of Engineers Day is for student s and their families to gain a realistic idea of the wonderful world of engineering and all that the University of Kentucky’s engineering program can offer.

Engineering = FUN!

In addition to the funshops, there will be informative seminars, lectures, and presentations about engineering. At the same time, participants get

Engineer Careers

Engineering careers are much more varied than most people believe, and are among some of the better paid careers for recently graduated college students. The field is wide and engineers can be found in many, many industries. There are aerospace engineers who design airplanes and aircraft; biomedical engineers who invent prosthetics and synthetic organs; chemical engineers who work with chemicals in areas like food, fuel, and drugs through the use of physics and chemistry; the more commonly known civil engineers who design bridges and roadways; environmental engineers who work to solve environmental issues through recycling and air and water pollution control; and even agricultural engineers who increase soil fertility and also design more efficient farm equipment!

to see that engineering is more than math; it is cool and fun! And as we know, children often learn better when they can have fun in a handson experience. The events of the day will have takeaway objects for participants to take home with them. The “funshops” are run by current engineering students at the Paducah School of Engineering. Torey Earle, UK’s 4-H Agent for science, engineering, and technology, tells me this is incredibly rewarding to watch. “To see the students kick back and enjoy showcasing the stuff they’re learning in the classroom with the kids that attend is amazing. Their interaction is the highlight of my day.”

Engineering is a very wide and exciting field for students to consider, especially in our modern world. While it does require math skills, there are other qualities needed to be a good engineer: critical thinking, listening skills, problem solving ability, and leadership, only to name a few. These discussions and more will be addressed at this year’s Engineers Day. Bring lots of questions! I asked Earle what his most asked question regarding engineering is. “People want to know what an engineer does,” Earle told me. “The best response I can give people is this: Engineers make dreams become reality. When anyone comes up with an idea, it is an Engineer that will make it come to life.”

Engineering careers are much more varied than most people believe, and are some of the better paid careers for recently graduated college students. Engineers Week

Engineers Day is the wrap-up to the worldwide celebrated Engineers Week. This year, it is February 19-25. The week was started in 1951 by the National Society of Professional Engineers, originally set aside to celebrate George Washington, our first president and a man they considered to be our country’s first engineer. Washington’s Birthday is the 22nd of February, and this week was set to surround that event and bring awareness to a little-known fact about the first president: he was a surveyor. Did you know that Washington began his surveying career in 1749, when he was only 17 years old? His first job was surveying a 400-acre piece of land, a job he completed so successfully that he became a respected professional in the field. He spent the next few years working for the land investment Ohio Company. Today, we celebrate Engineers week around his birthday as not only a way to raise awareness to engineer careers but to celebrate the engineers who have made our lives so much easier.

hat's bright yellow, cuter by the hundreds and makes a splash…why the biggest, best (and only), duck race in Paducah. The Paducky Derby, an annual fundraiser for the Merryman House Domestic Crisis Center is being held at 3pm, on April 29 at Noble Park Pond. This is the third year that Merryman House has hosted this Fundraising event. So, what are you waiting for - adopt a racing duck, help a local non-profit, and win a money prize! Each duck adopted will go directly to saving, building and changing the lives of those affected by domestic violence. Last year’s event raised over $41,609.70 with over 8,000 ducks sold. The Merryman House is hoping to reach its goal of 10,000 duck adoptions for this year’s race.

names will be placed at random into the mix, next to a number that does not already have a name by it. Anyone can adopt until an hour before the race begins, as long as the Derby is not sold out.

Adopt A Duck - Save A Life!

All proceeds from the Paducky Derby will benefit the Merryman House, a non-profit organization which offers both residency and outreach services to meet the needs of victims of intimate partner abuse and their dependents as they strive to live free of violence in their home.

The day of the event over 300 people came to watch Paducah Power use three different trucks to dump the ducks into the pond at Noble Park. Large ducks autographed by Jason Aldean and Rascal Flatts were also raffled off to attendees.

E-Quack

With so many sponsored ducks in the race it’s important to keep track of exactly who has adopted them. The process is very interesting: Everyone who adopts a duck is entered into what the organizers call E-Quack - a database that stores all of the information: Whether you adopt online, by mail, at a Paducky Derby booth, or by becoming a sponsoring business. Next to your name in E-Quack is the number of ducks you have adopted. The tag range is entered and all the numbers are shuffled. Then, E-Quack automatically assigns the number of ducks you have adopted next to tag numbers. Thus, if you adopted five ducks, your name will be placed next to five different tag numbers. Tag numbers are automatically and randomly assigned by computer to make sure that no duck is “taking steroids” and the race is not “fixed”, so to ensure the integrity of the race, tag numbers are never given out. Rest assured, however, that all of the ducks you have adopted will be in the water. If all the ducks have not been adopted by Derby Day, it means that a lucky adopter can still adopt up to an hour prior to the race. Their

The Merryman House has become a comprehensive advocacy and support center that is devoted to addressing the comprehensive needs of survivors.

The grand prize is $2,500, $1,000 for second place, and $500 for third. If you are one of the winners, the Merryman House will contact you using the information you provided with your duck adoption. You do not need to be present to win, but you don’t want to miss this fun event! The Paducky Derby is open to the public.

All proceeds from the Paducah Derby benefit The Merryman House Domestic Crisis Center, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization which offers both residency and outreach services to meet the needs of victims of intimate partner abuse and their dependents as they strive to live free of violence in their home. The Merryman House was founded in 1978 and has rich grass roots history. The agency is named for founder Merryman Kemp. Women Aware, Inc., (d/b/a as the Merryman House Domestic Crisis Center) began with a small group of concerned women who were willing to open their homes to abused women and children. They answered their phones in the middle of the night, opened their doors to those in need of shelter and opened their hearts to those who needed someone to see the reality of the dangers and trauma they faced. Out of their openness, a dark issue, which remained largely closed to the public, began to be openly addressed. Over time, the Merryman House has become much more than an emergency shelter. It has become a comprehensive advocacy and support center that is devoted to addressing the comprehensive needs of survivors. MHDCC serves nearly 1000 victims per year through a whole host of services. It serves the eight county purchase region and all services are free of charge.

The Paducah Symphony Orchestra The PSO was founded in 1979 when a number of area musicians performed at the city’s Summer Festival. That concert created enough enthusiasm to bring together a small group of “founders” who wanted additional concerts. During the first two years, concerts were planned and performed one at a time, as funds were raised. In succeeding years, seasons have been pre-planned and the number of subscription concerts expanded. Many of these concerts now feature internationally recognized guest artists. Dr. Jordan Tang conducted the Orchestra for the twenty-three seasons from 1987 to 2009. In the spring of 2010, the PSO appointed Raffaele Ponti as its new Artistic Director & Conductor.
