y Aunt Nita refuses to be idle. As a child, I remember seeing her sing in the church choir, plan yard sales, and travel. Now a senior, her life hasn’t changed. My aunt, who wrote plays as part of the Kentucky Humanities Council Chautauqua Series for 22 years, continues to enthusiastically add projects to her to-do list. I am not suggesting that you overrun your schedule with activities, but engaging your mind can help it — and your body — thrive. Here is a quick list of ideas for waking up your brain:
• Plan a trip. On page 52, writer Julie Engelhardt has suggestions on how to make traveling easier and more enjoyable. • If you are on a tight budget, call a new friend for a nice chat or reconnect with old friends. • Stay away from negative people. As my aunt says, “I plan not to be distressed and I plan not to be around distressing people.”

Let Creativity Fuel Your Mind Creating with your hands can protect your heart and mind and bring you joy

By Megan M. Seckman Photos by Patti Hartog
arie Montessori once said: The human hand allows the mind to reveal itself. One of Montessori’s key tenants is that learning should involve a marriage between the head, the heart, and the hands. Pure intellect leaves us inert, and brute force leaves us dissatisfied. The most content human is able to think with the head, turn that thought into creation with the hand, all the while guided by the passions and curiosities of the heart. Even in the golden years, this philosophy rings true: a key way to stimulate the mind and instill a sense of well-being is through creation from the hands. The hands, then, allow our minds to (continue to) grow. From gardening, to crafting, writing, and art, these women are keeping their hands industrious — and their souls — inspired. PAGE 8 >>

Tending to Her Paradise “Hey, Janie! Look at the turtle!” Five women, clad in sun hats and gardening clogs, huddle in a circle around the meandering creature below. “Well, look at him! He’s a GPS turtle!” one woman shouts from the circle. They make a small opening in their group for me to step in and see the turtle wearing a high-tech contraption that tracks his whereabouts. It is a balmy July morning at the Louisville Nature Center’s Sensory Garden. It’s Wednesday, the day Janie Cansler and her group of master gardeners tend to their paradise — a sensory-rich urban garden just across from the Louisville Zoo. “We just go crazy for critters around here,” Janie explains. “Our goal here is to attract pollinators, so we get butterflies, bees, dragonflies, birds, and even frogs in our water feature.” Since the fall of 2011, Janie and the other master gardeners (six to seven consistent participants who have all completed a 12-hour program through the Jefferson County extension office) have spent every Wednesday morning perfecting this space. The crew of women gather around 8am to prune, weed, plant, and mulch, and the result is an urban paradise that is meant to be explored with the senses.

The Project Maven Linda Johnson, 74, likes to keep her fingers busy and brain sharp. Having retired from a career in education, she thoroughly believes that if you want to learn something new, just jump right in. Since her retirement, Linda has published a book, taken up purse and tote-bag making (a skill she learned by watching YouTube videos), and caught her first fish (the biggest of the season at Taylorsville Lake). “Learning something new is always difficult, but it keeps my brain from turning to oatmeal. I guess I could just sit and not have a thought in my head, but most of the time I end up surprising myself when things turn out better than I ever imagined them to be,” Linda says of her projects. For the last six years of Linda’s mother’s life, Linda was her sole caretaker. Her mother died with dementia, so Linda saw firsthand the importance of keeping the brain active. She and her mother grew up enmeshed in the world of quilt making. For as long as she can recall, the women of her family made quilts out of various fabric scraps. Fabric is what inspires Linda, so after her mother’s death, she branched out from the quilting world into purse making. After watching a few videos online, Linda began making impressive handbags (which she hopes to sell at craft fairs in the near future). This hobby led to jewelry making, a 10 Fall 2019 / TodaysTransitionsNow.com
skill Linda learned through pop-up tutorials that surfaced while watching purse making videos on YouTube. Above all, though, Linda receives the most satisfaction from keeping her fingers busy on the keyboard. She writes for Portland’s monthly newsletter, the place where she was born and raised, and also enjoys writing short stories. She won first place in a short story contest out

of Richmond, Virginia, and also self-published a Christmas book last year. “I get the most satisfaction out of writing,” Linda says.
Linda Johnson enjoys the challenge of learning something new.
“In fabrics, you always have a pattern. In writing, you have to do all the creating yourself. All you have are the words and some loose ideas, but your mind has to stream them all together.” Linda tries to create something every day, and this practice, she says, keeps her alive.
Finding Peace in a Paintbrush Mary Annette Bizmaier, 71, understands that keeping the hands busy is often a key component to survival. In the two most trying experiences of her life, a divorce and a battle with non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma, Mary Annette flocked to working with her hands in order to quiet her mind. “The first month of my treatment, I couldn’t work and I realized how critical it was to have something to concentrate on. I had too much downtime to focus on my problems. When I went back to work [as a dental hygienist], I came home physically exhausted, but my mind wasn’t exhausted due to work. Worry,” she says, “is more exhausting than work.” Mary Annette has always been an avid gardener, but after retiring several years ago, she wanted to find an activity that kept her hands busy all four seasons of the year. Twenty years prior, as a new divorcee, she “started playing” with paint. “I had all this free time on my hands, and I needed something to take me out of my head,” she says. Mary Annette bought some craft paint from a local craft store and began dabbling in art. The idea, she says, was to garden flowers in the summer and paint them in the winter. But when she began taking Dawn Johnston’s painting classes two years ago at Preston Arts Center, Mary

Annette turned her hobby into a passion. Now, she looks back at how far she’s come with pride. Her weekly studio acrylic class with Dawn is an integral part of her well-being. “Painting, like gardening,
is spiritual. It takes you out of your monkey mind and forces you to concentrate. When you have to concentrate on how the play of the light reflects on the water, it quiets your mind. It is both an art and science.”

DON’T AVOID IT — DEAL WITH IT
How to Manage Your High Blood Pressure By Carrie Vittitoe Art by Jillian Jones
hypertension,” says Dr. Christopher Hofelich, a cardiologist with Baptist Health Medical Group in Jeffersonville, Indiana. “The corresponding diastolic numbers are 80-89 for stage I and greater than 90 for stage II.” This definition change has been a big adjustment for both patients and physicians, as half of all Americans are now considered to have high blood pressure. SOLUTIONS There are many things that can cause high blood pressure, from diet to heredity to certain cancers. Sometimes physicians don’t know why a person has high blood pressure (essential hypertension). Aging also plays a role in the development of high blood pressure. “It’s expected that age will contribute to your risk of developing hypertension,” Dr. Hofelich says. Patients with elevated blood pressure are generally asked to make lifestyle changes to reduce their numbers below 120/80. Increasing exercise time and reducing salt in the diet can help, as can ensuring that other health conditions are well-managed.
H
igh blood pressure sounded downright pleasant when Linda Ronstadt sang about it in (Love is Like a) Heat Wave in 1975, but by 2017, the American College of Cardiology and American Heart Association recognized that its long-held guidelines for high blood pressure needed to be revised. When the definition of what constitutes hypertension changed, so did people’s understanding that high blood pressure is neither songworthy nor something to be taken lightly. WHAT IS HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE? High blood pressure sounds like what it is: when the force of the blood flowing through a person’s veins and arteries is too high. This condition puts stress on the heart because it has to work harder to pump blood throughout the body. Over time, high blood pressure also damages the lining of the blood vessels, which allows cholesterol to build up, increasing a person’s risk of a cardiovascular event. Prior to 2017, a blood pressure of 120/80 was considered normal. People who had blood pressure higher than this were considered pre-hypertensive. “Now 120/80 is the top-end of where you want to be. That 120-129 level is elevated; 130139 is stage 1 hypertension; and greater than 140 is stage II
TAKING BLOOD PRESSURE THE “RIGHT” WAY Situational stress can increase a person’s blood pressure, which could be problematic for people who are stuck in a traffic jam prior to a doctor’s appointment and are running late or who simply get nervous going for a checkup. In order to get an accurate blood pressure reading, there are certain optimal conditions, including sitting in a comfortable chair, not crossing one’s legs, and not setting one’s arm up on the table while in the cuff. “You want as relaxed a patient as you can get for an accurate reading,” Dr. Hofelich says. For this reason, many doctors ask their patients to monitor their own blood pressure at home and log their results in a notebook, which they bring in for a checkup. This allows the physician to see a range of blood pressure over different days, times, and situations. Patients are more likely to be relaxed and sitting comfortably at home. THE SILENT KILLER Because high blood pressure doesn’t hurt, patients may be reluctant to treat something they don’t “feel” as a problem. However, Dr. Hofelich notes that the risks of leaving hypertension untreated are dire, including coronary artery disease, peripheral artery disease, heart attack, stroke, and kidney failure.
It’s expected that age will contribute to your risk of developing hypertension...” — Dr. Christopher Hofelich

It’s Heck Getting Old!
By Yelena Sapin
Solutions for when our bodies don’t work the way they used to
PROBLEM:
Loss of Interest in Food It’s not unusual for appetites to decrease and mealtime enthusiasm to wane as we get older. In fact, encouraging our aging loved ones to eat enough to maintain their health and well-being is one of the biggest challenges caretakers face on a daily basis. But you don’t have to be a gourmet chef to make food more enticing. In addition to using seasonal produce, fresh herbs, and spices that appeal to the sense of smell as well as taste, try these simple solutions to help whet the appetite of everyone at your table.
SOLUTION: Edible Garnishes Jordan Holcomb, food service director at Magnolia Springs Louisville, knows that people eat with their eyes first. “If it looks good on the plate, you’ve pretty much already won them over,” he says. Holcomb suggests using edible garnishes to add fresh, vibrant colors and interest to your dishes. Arugula, edible flowers, and baby vegetable plants known as microgreens can be sprinkled on salads, put in sandwiches, or mounded atop a main course. And like other brightly colored produce, these edible garnishes provide an additional boost of nutrients. Where to get them: If your local supermarket doesn’t carry them, you can find them in upscale grocery stores or online. Price: Varies, a container with 2-4 servings is typically $3-$5
SOLUTION: Essential Oils Smell is an integral part of how we taste food, but it can also impact our biological responses. Essential oils used in aromatherapy harness this power. Bright citrus scents such as lemon and orange are uplifting and help stimulate appetite, while peppermint decreases nausea, and fennel is also good both for calming the stomach and increasing appetite, says Glenda Roos, a registered nurse and certified aromatherapy practitioner. You can apply essential oils to a cotton ball pinned inside clothing, add them to lotion, or use an aromatherapy diffuser or inhaler. Just a drop or two is all it takes. Where to get them: At health food stores or online. Price: $5-$10 per bottle

Tai Chi for Relaxation and Balance
A
lthough some of us want to hide when we hear the word “exercise,” all is not lost. There are innovative and elegant ways to stretch and relax in a class setting, and among these is the ancient Chinese art of Tai Chi. Through fluid and gentle movements, participants can increase energy in their bodies and enjoy the companionship of others. “Tai Chi is particularly beneficial to senior citizens because it helps with balance, circulation, and building bone density,” says Master Alan White, who teaches at St. Matthews Martial Arts. “The biggest thing is that it is not high impact so it’s especially ideal for people recovering from injuries or seniors who don’t want a lot of impact on their joints.” White says that Tai Chi also offers active meditation, which gives the mind a chance to concentrate without distraction while the body moves fluidly from pose to pose. “It helps people let go of mental static,” White says. “It provides stress relief and an improved ability to concentrate and focus. A person’s attention is not being pulled in so many different directions.”

erb Bradshaw can find beauty in the simplest and most mundane items. Eight years ago, while collecting cans as part of a family reunion cleanup, Herb decided to turn the shiny recyclables into mosaic art. By cutting and twisting the cans, Herb’s imagination began to flourish. He quickly discovered that a single piece of can art could take anywhere from a couple of hours to half a day. “The longest was a peacock that took me one week. I loved it so much, I decided to keep it,” he says. The public may not get to see the intricate peacock piece, but his works have been featured at City Hall, Norton Commons, and the Ntaba Coffee Haus on Brownsboro Road. Herb’s work is also gaining attention outside of the city. He has sold his artwork to clients living in Florida, New York, California, Tennessee, and North Carolina. For more information on where to buy his art, e-mail him directly at tabdwn@att.net or visit his gallery at Ntaba Coffee Haus. Herb uses recycled frames, wood, and cans to create his art.

Eliminate the Clutter from Your Mind
M
By Bob Mueller
y wife and I are constantly getting rid of the clutter from our home, which always allows space for new and exciting things to appear. I’ve learned that whether we’re talking about clutter that’s physical, paper, electronic, or mental, its defining characteristic is that it’s stuck. You can tell that it is clutter because there’s no movement, no progress and no life — it’s just the same old story over and over again. Much of the advice I receive about getting rid of clutter says, “Just do it!” But if you can’t identify the underlying beliefs that are causing you to become buried in clutter, it’s almost impossible. I believe these are the root causes of clutter that hardly ever get addressed. If you deal with these clutter busters, you can change your life:
Loyalty. Sometimes you don’t want to get rid of clutter because it feels like admitting you made a mistake in buying this thing that you misjudged. You want to believe in your past decisions, so you keep recommitting to those decisions long after they’ve proven erroneous. The ability to calmly accept that sometimes you blunder will hasten your spiritual maturity.
The Memory, the Nostalgia. You love remembering over and over again. You love the size or the age you were when you bought it. You love the person who gave it to you. This is not a good reason to hang on to something you’re not using. Enjoy the emotion of nostalgia for a minute or two, and let it go.
Replaying old tapes and cassettes. Worry is mental clutter. So is repetitive self-criticism. Any other thoughts that never lead to an outcome or a new thought are just taking up space in your brain. It’s important to your continued growth to distinguish between actual thinking and those old tapes.
The Fantasy of the Future. “Someday. Somewhere. Somehow.” But not at the moment. If you want something in the future, take a step toward that today. You don’t have a condo in Hawaii and you are not the CEO. Again let it go.
Diminishing returns. The first one was great, the second one was even better. But now you’re on your seventh, and the thrill is wearing off. Whether we’re talking about collectibles, books about any subject, or sweaters, take a look at the redundancies in your life, and see if there are a few items in the collection that can go.
The Fear of Scarcity. “I might need this sometime in the future.” Yes, it’s true you might. This is an understandable and admirable goal but still no reason to hang on to something that’s just taking up space. What about a future of not hanging on to stuff? Once again, let it go.
Humanizing everything. I used to humanize things as a child. I still do. I thank my car for its faithful service. I express thanks to many foods for being so delicious. I usually say goodbye to my house as I leave it, even if I’m just dashing out to run errands. I do the same thing with shoes, clothing, and towels. Once again it’s important to move on to new cars, foods, homes, and clothing. You can always have someone else get rid of these items for you if it helps.
Get rid of something. Anything. Right now. Change you mindset and way of thinking and watch great things happen.

EASE YOUR CHRONIC PAIN
Do Your Feet Hurt?
O
By Bobbe Ann Crouch
ne of the most common sources of heel pain, plantar fasciitis, causes a stabbing pain in the bottom of your foot near the heel. Under normal circumstances, the plantar fascia (the thick, fibrous band of tissue that runs from the heel bone to the toes) acts like a shock absorber, supporting the arch of the foot. If repetitive tension and stress on it becomes too great, small tears can arise, causing the fascia to become irritated or inflamed. Twenty years ago Barb Allen was a nurse in a high risk labor and delivery unit when she began experiencing foot pain that grew worse over time. “Many times I was working 12-hour shifts running back and forth on the concrete hospital floors,” Barb says. “I finally went for treatment when the pain was so bad I would cry before I put my feet on the floor in the morning.” Because of the progressed nature of Barb’s case, a steroid was injected into the ball of her foot on her first visit. “I’m not going to lie; that shot hurt and if I’d had to do both feet, I don’t think I’d have done it. But, I felt better right away. Most people who have plantar fasciitis recover with conservative treatments diligently applied over a period of time. These include: rest; stretching and strengthening exercises such as repeatedly rolling the foot over a frozen
24 Fall 2019 / TodaysTransitionsNow.com
water bottle or tennis ball to stretch the tissue; icing the area; and overthe-counter medications to ease the pain and inflammation. Clara Lilly’s doctor recommended a night splint. “He prescribed a splint to hold my [plantar] fascia and Achilles’ tendon in the right place while I slept,” she says. “It was really way bigger and more complex than I think I needed, which made it really hard to sleep. Luckily my daughter was able to go online and find a version of it that was soft and washable. Once I started with that one, everything eased. I still had to do some dry needling treatments and keep up with my exercises though. It took about eight months before all of the pain was gone.”
HERE ARE A FEW OTHER TREATMENT OPTIONS:
1) Extracorporeal shock wave therapy directs sound waves to the area of pain in order to stimulate healing by increasing blood flow to the foot. It literally “stuns” the nerves to stop the pain. 2) A Tenex procedure uses an ultrasound to target and remove scar tissue and is minimally invasive and done on an outpatient basis.Most often it can be cured at home without extensive professional therapy. What seems to be most important in all treatment is continued diligence with stretching and exercise. 3) Simple lifestyle choices are also important in the treatment of plantar fasciitis. Maintain a healthy weight in order to minimize stress on the tissue. 4) Replace athletic shoes before they’re worn out, and choose supportive shoes with good arch support. 5) Instead of high heels, choose moderate to low heels, and don’t go barefoot.

WHAT HIS DAY LOOKS LIKE By Julie Engelhardt Photos Patti Hartog Reverend Ronald Loughry unwinds in his backyard beach.
A
s people look toward retirement, they may ponder how they’ll fill the many hours once dedicated to a 40-hour-a-week job or other scheduled activities. How will they stay engaged, active, and involved as they get older? The Reverend Ronald L. Loughry had the answer years ago — be intentional with your life. PAGE 28 >>
26 Fall 2019 / TodaysTransitionsNow.com
<<PAGE 26
Reverend Ron, as he’s known to his friends and colleagues, gave his first sermon when he was just 16 years old as a lay minister. He became an ordained minister years later, and this past January he celebrated his 50th anniversary in the ministry. January also marked an important event in his life — he retired from Fern Creek/Highview United Ministries after serving there for 23 years. He began his career with Fern Creek/ Highview as the director of the Adult Day Center, and in 2003 he was asked to become the executive director for the entire ministries operation. His life has been filled with a variety of activities and services, including work as adjunct faculty in history at several universities, plus involvement with numerous civic activities. Reverend Ron says he wanted to ‘retire at the top of his game.’ “I was very intentional about what I wanted to do with retirement,” he says. One goal was to make certain that United Ministries was in a position to go forward without any financial issues. “I also wanted to make sure we had a great team of staff and volunteers,” he says. “I wanted to look back and say, ‘I’ve done well. I’ve left this in the best shape I could leave it in and move forward.’” Having this sense of accomplishment was important to his retirement. He also mapped out what he wanted to do on a personal note. “I’m a people person,” he says. “I didn’t want to just sit around the house. There are several organizations I’ve been involved with, so I attend meetings or monthly luncheons, giving me people time and engagement with others.” Reverend Ron has also started a regular exercise routine, which he follows on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday mornings. “My schedule was always pulled here, or pulled there, so I could never get something really going,” he explains. He has also begun concentrating on personal projects. “For so many years my writing focused on reports, newsletters, and other types of communication, but at one time I used to write much more creatively,” he says. “I wrote poetry, short stories, and songs. I want to make sure I’m doing this kind of writing, at least one day a week.” He also likes to hang out at his ‘private resort.’ “We have a ‘beach’ in our backyard, with over 40 tons of sand, and on the side of the garage we have a mural painted of the ocean and a lagoon. You can find me there with my wife when we have time together with our family and friends,” he says. 28 Fall 2019 / TodaysTransitionsNow.com

Day
In My Life Ronald L. Loughry
What do you do first thing in the morning? I get a cup of tea and check e-mail, and look at the Courier-Journal, or I exercise. When I’m not exercising, I try to get outside early to work on projects. What do you do in the evening to relax? My wife still works, so I may cook dinner. If we don’t have something going on, we sit around and chat and catch up on our day. We both like to read before we head to bed.

“WE HAVE A ‘BEACH’ IN OUR BACKYARD, WITH OVER 40 TONS OF SAND.” — REVEREND RON LOUGHRY
Do you have a cherished memento? When my wife and I got engaged, our nieces and nephews created a big banner for us that says, “A Perfect Pair,” which we had laminated. We have it hung in our office/music room with other items from our engagement and wedding. What is a favorite thing you’re doing right now? The travel opportunities have been fantastic now that there’s more time. This past May we took a 19-day trip involving five days in Venice, Italy, two days in Athens, Greece, and a 10-day Greek Island cruise. What do you do to unwind overall? Just being able to get up in the morning without having to get up at 6am or not having to worry about a phone call in the middle of the night has helped me to unwind. But, the best way is to get out into our backyard ‘beach’ and take my shoes and socks off, put my feet in the sand, and read a book or chat with friends.

ccording to the Alzheimer’s Association, six in 10 people with dementia will wander. Even in the early stages of Alzheimer’s, a loved one is at risk of getting lost, disoriented, or confused for brief periods of time — and may end up in dangerous situations. Some common warning signs that indicate the need for increased monitoring are: • Forgets address or location of common areas in the house (i.e. the bathroom or dining room) • Wants to “go home” when already home • Returns from walks or driving errands later than usual • Wants to “go to work” or fulfill bygone obligations
Fortunately, there are several location devices on the market that assist in tracking the whereabouts of our loved ones with memory issues. In the early stages of the disease, these GPS trackers can give family members peace of mind while away or in between visits from caregivers. When considering a location device, it is important to note that some devices are wearable, making them more discrete (such as a necklace, bracelet, or watch) while others must be carried (in a purse, on a keychain, or even slipped into a shoe). Some devices offer panic/alert buttons, fitness tracking, health metrics, and even two-way calling. Many require a monthly fee, much like cell service, to ensure the GPS capabilities. While some devices may not charge a fee, the GPS tracking devices are superior in accuracy and range, and are especially helpful if you plan to leave the region.
Primetracking Personal GPS Tracker ($49.89 + $25/month k • Portable and light-weight enough to slip into luggage, purse, car, or walkers. • Real-time tracking from the tracking app (check any time from your computer or phone) can monitor routes and alert your phone when loved ones leave a designated area. • Includes an SOS button for emergencies. • Highest rated location device on Amazon. Downfall: monthly fee + user must carry the tracker (the size of a cell phone) with them.
GPS SmartSole ($329) k • Slips discreetly into loved one’s shoe (ideal for those resistant to being tracked). • GPS tracking in realtime from your phone with free tracking app. • Water resistant. Downfall: Must be charged every 48 hours and only received a 2.5 star rating on Amazon.
iTraq Nano Global Version ($129 + monthly fee) k • One of the smallest wearable devices on the market. • Can be clipped on to clothing, luggage, keychain, or purse. • Global tracking abilities. • Four-month battery charge. • Water and dust resistant. • Detects falls, sudden movements, and movement outside geofenced areas. Downfall: While on several top 10 lists, it was difficult to determine the cost of monthly fee and availability.

Featuring: Night Road by Kristin Hannah
This month we feature the Louisville Divas Bookclub, a close-knit group of five faithful members and friends who came together about seven years ago through the suggestion of Judy Hamilton. The Divas include Judy, Cleo, Natalie, Sonya, and Selina, and they meet monthly except in December. Members take turns selecting the book, location, and the facilitator of the discussion. They enjoy discussing all of the implications of the events the characters face, as well as life in general, and sometimes treat themselves to a movie based on a book they’ve read. Member Selina Newman shared the thoughts of the Divas as they recently discussed Night Road by Kristin Hannah.
Excerpt from Night Road:
“Maybe time didn’t heal wounds exactly, but it gave you a kind of armor, or a new perspective. A way to remember with a smile instead of a sob.” What have you learned from this book?
Louisville Divas Bookclub WHEN: Meets monthly (skipping December) WHERE: various locations If you would like to join one of these book clubs, send an email to BookClub@TodaysMediaNow.com for details!
Night Road makes you realize that we are not perfect people; we all make mistakes, and the fortunate ones own up to them. Owning your mistakes allows you to move on with your life. You have to learn how to forgive yourself and others, or risk being stuck in the past and not enjoying life at all. If you could hang out with one character from the book, who would it be?
The main character, Lexi. Although she was born to a mentally ill, alcoholic mother and grew up in foster care, she managed to become a caring person. The love and support of her aunt, who she met as a teenager, and her best friend’s family, who welcomed her into the fold, helped her thrive. She survived childhood trauma and adversity because she found love, friendship, and acceptance.
Why did you choose this book? Are you glad you did?
Cleo chose this book because she had read several other books by this author and she felt the group would enjoy it. She was so right! We love Kristin Hannah’s unique writing style, the fact that she is so vivid in her descriptions, and that we became emotionally connected to her characters. What other titles would you recommend to people who enjoyed Night Road?
This is a rare book that can appeal to the teenager, the senior citizen, and every age in-between. If you enjoy this book, we are certain that you will enjoy The Nightingale and Winter Garden, both by Kristin Hannah. What is the best book you’ve read?
We have read quite a few books in the seven years of our union, and we all agree that Becoming by Michelle Obama is one of our favorites.

Bringing Comfort
By Quinn Fitzgerald
As the cool weather starts to move in, it’s time to break out those things that make you feel cozy and comfortable. Here are a few suggestions on products that will fit the bill. Whether you’re shopping locally or at your nearest chain stores, we’ve gathered a number of recommendations for the best items to purchase.
Sweet Dreams What can be more important than sleeping on nice sheets when you are seeking comfort? Bedded Bliss, located in Chenoweth Square, has many to choose from. There is the super soft Bamboo, soft Egyptian cotton sateen, and crisp and cool percale. Cost: $300-$700

The Best Pet for Seniors
Man’s Best Friend Attention pet owners and slipper lovers! Louisville-based Cuddle Clones (cuddleclones.com) specializes in slippers that look like your favorite furry friend. Custom Plush Slippers are handmade using pictures of your pet. Choose a few customization options as well as your shoe size and get back one-of-a-kind soft and warm slippers of your friendly furbaby. Cost: $249
Pet Love It’s exactly what it sounds like: a clone of your pet. In a similar way that Cuddle Clones produces its Custom Plush Slippers, the company can also custom make a soft replica of your pet. It’s perfect if you enjoy the idea of having a plush version of your furry friend.
Lisa Poe, owner of Poe’s Pet Depot, has the scoop on what pets are best for low-maintenance companionship. Lisa says a small dog or cat is actually a better pet for seniors than a bird or fish because they can love you in a way a bird or fish can’t. “A lot of seniors are lonely,” she says. “I see it a lot with my customers.” Additionally, Lisa suggests adopting. Cats and dogs in these situations are low maintenance, needing only the basic essentials — cats even more so because they can self groom. If you’re concerned about having to take your dog out to potty, you can purchase a wee-wee patch. This patch of grass serves as an indoor potty with pads that are easy to change out. “It helps if they live in a condo or senior complex. It used to be they couldn’t get down to walk their dog. Well, now they have the option to have a patch of grass in their house, and they can just change the pad,” Lisa says.
Cost: $199

WHAT I KNOW NOW
Greg Gitschier
Sneakin’ Deacon: From Secret Service to Sacred Service recounts the adventures Greg Gitschier has experienced in his career. Greg served as a Louisville police officer for six years, then was recruited by the United States Secret Service, where he served 22 years. He protected presidents, celebrities, royalty, and tracked down counterfeiters. After retiring from the Secret Service, he worked as Louisville Mayor Greg Fischer’s bodyguard for five years. He now does security consulting and private protection work. His experience meeting and protecting Pope John Paul II on his 1999 visit to St. Louis led to his becoming a deacon in the Catholic Church. He serves as a chaplain for the Louisville Metro Police Department. What’s a trait every man should develop?
can go anywhere there has been a fatal accident, suicide, or murder. I am available to console the family or sometimes the police officers.
What’s the best advice you’ve ever gotten?
What makes you angry?
Compassion. I have instilled in my children that it’s important to help people if you can.
Don’t do anything you’re going to regret and that will catch up with you later. You know when you’re doing something wrong. You’re responsible for your own actions. What’s a skill every man should have?
Being able to protect himself, his family, and his friends. I always wanted to be a protector. I was on safety patrol in school. I worked at Stewart’s Department Store as a security guard. Then I was with the Louisville Police Department and the Secret Service. Defining moment?
I have been around some very important people in the world — kings, prime ministers, queens. But, when I met Pope John Paul II, I had a religious epiphany. He had an incredible way about him that impacted me, and I started getting more involved in church. Now I am a deacon at St. Patrick Catholic Church and also a local police chaplain. I’m on call in the 8th division but 40 Fall 2019 / TodaysTransitionsNow.com
Greg Gitschier
I have very little patience for abuse of money and authority. People in power — business, religious, or political — who use money and authority to attack and discredit, if guilty, should be prosecuted and removed from office. An accomplishment you’re proud of?
Being happily married for 25 years and having three awesome children ages 22,17, and 16. They have a good future ahead of them. They all have compassion, and that makes me feel good. A lesson you’ve learned the hard way?
Knowing when to speak out and when to shut up. It’s a hard lesson to learn...figuring out when is the right time to speak up to a spouse, boss, or even a stranger. What inspired you to get into law enforcement?
My father was an FBI agent, and I saw him come home at night wearing his fedora, with his handgun and handcuffs and FBI badge. I wanted to follow in his footsteps.
A trait you would like to improve in yourself?
I could be a little more organized.
What would you change about Louisville?
Nothing, and I would like for people here to appreciate what an awesome city we have. I’ve spent time in Los Angeles, Honolulu, San Francisco, Miami, Dallas, New York — all sorts of large cities — and the traffic, the cost of living, and the quality of life in those cities is nothing compared to what we have in Louisville.
Can’t get the knack of...
Golf. I live on a golf course and am a pretty athletic guy, and I’m amazed that I can’t hit the ball as hard as some 14-year-old can. What motivates you now?
I do security consulting, hold active shooter drills, evaluate business security plans, and do vulnerability assessments. I teach protection classes for 18-year-old girls going off to college. I am also on the board of Kids Cancer Alliance, which offers camping experiences at no charge to children with cancer and their families.

Here at Todayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Transitions we are of the firm opinion that one is never too old to continue with a passion or to learn something new. In this issue, we meet Robin Chappars, who has been playing the cello since she was 10 years old, and her student Sharon Lane, who has taken up the cello as an adult. Let the music play...

obin comes by her musical talent honestly. Her father played the oboe and was professor of music at the Eastman School of Music at the University of Rochester and a principal with the Rochester Philharmonic. Her mother played both cello and oboe and would accompany Robin’s early pieces. “I inherited my mom’s cello “THE ADULTS and its old, heavy leather ARE HERE case,” Robin says. “My cello body has a date of 1804. It BECAUSE THEY was manufactured in France WANT TO by Charotte-Millot. LEARN.” “I’ve been playing cello since I was 10 years old. I was first chair in my high school orchestra. I attended the University of Rochester and majored in psychology. I didn’t major in music or attend Eastman as I didn’t want people to think that I got in because of my father.” Robin met her husband Stephen in college and they have been married for 55 years. “He started college as a physics major but switched to psychology. He ended up sitting next to me in one of our classes. “We got married in 1964 and we moved around quite a bit. I didn’t play the cello for about 12 years, but eventually we settled in West Chester, Pennsylvania. I joined the church choir, and the choir director knew my dad. He told me, ‘You should be playing your cello.’ I agreed and got it out of the attic. Thank heavens its time in the attic didn’t ruin it. I started playing with a quartet and we played music I was familiar with, which was the right way for me to start Robin Chappars back.

As for buying the instrument, one could get a reasonable one for $500, but then the sky’s the limit, Robin says. There is a difference in how they sound and the quality of the bow makes a huge difference. You can pay more for the bow than the cello, she says. You can also rent the instrument or rent to own. “The adults are here because they want to learn. They are self-motivated,” Robin says. “I understand that adults have more activities and events outside of lessons and practice, but it is important to keep up the lessons even though you don’t practice.” PAGE 46 >>

lthough Sharon Lane has been playing the piano since she was 6 years old and earned a bachelor’s degree in music from Centre College, she is new to the intricacies of the cello. “I have an extensive background in piano. I teach private lessons in my home, and in the last couple of years I’ve graduated six students and now have four. I’ve worked with students as young as age 4 and adults. I have played piano for churches, and I also accompany JCPS students in solo and ensemble competitions. “I was at cello recital in 2007 for a friend of my youngest son’s and after the recital I went up to the teacher and asked her if she would take me on as a student. She looked at me and said, “No. You are too old.’ She didn’t think my fingers would be flexible and quick enough to handle the instrument. Another teacher turned me down as well. I persisted and found Robin Chappars and she said immediately, ‘Absolutely! I’ll take you on.’’ At the time, Sharon says, she had a large teaching student load of her own, was “I LOVE THE pianist at a church, and was CELLO.

I’d like to do that. Robin encourages me to use my knowledge. “What I’ve learned about myself is that if I set my mind to something I can do it. I’ve also learned how hard it is to play a stringed instrument,” she says with a smile. “There’s a lot to learn and it’s harder than it looks. I know what I want to hear come from the instrument, and it frustrates me when it doesn’t. I love the cello. I love the sound and the music that I hear coming from it. I’m glad I pursued it.”

Look to the Hills
By Flores Green Reynolds
Read Psalms 121:1-2:
I will lift up mine eyes unto the hills from whence cometh my help. My help cometh from the Lord, which made heaven and earth.
H
is troubled face told the story as he walked into the bedroom with fear in his eyes. “What’s the matter?” I asked as I rose to offer a comforting touch. He said nothing. “What is it?” I continued. His steps were unsteady, and I urged him to sit on the bed. “What is the matter?” I asked for the third time. With slowness of speech and pain in his voice, he said to me, “I can’t remember The Lord’s Prayer!” “Sure you can,” I replied softly. “Do you want me to help you?” His head nodded yes, but his uneasiness and shame were palpable. My heart hurt for him as I struggled to find a way to help this proud, beautiful retired pastor. How can I help him without making him feel like one of my elementary students? This was the man who answered God’s call on an Easter Sunday morning. This was the man who entered college at age 42, graduated from seminary at age 57, and pastored in three states for 42 years. This was the man who began and ended every day in prayer and who lived a life committed to God’s service. Yet on this day, having reached the age of 86 and being challenged with mild cognitive impairment, my beloved husband is panic stricken because he can’t remember The Lord’s Prayer.
“Our Father, who art in Heaven,” I prayed and he repeated. “Hallowed be thy name,” I led and he followed. “Thy Kingdom come…” he said WITH me, and we prayed the rest of the prayer together. The look of relief that crossed his face reflected his internal battle with a condition he was afraid would get worse. The feeling of relief that entered my heart was a small victory in my struggle to preserve his dignity, to encourage his strengths, and to gracefully accept the reality of his condition. This strong, independent man refused to succumb to the battle he fought daily. I struggled to find creative ways to keep him as active and as positive as possible. Two days before his death, he independently delivered Holy Communion to several shut-ins, and we thank God that he was able to finish his course with his head held high and his eyes toward Heaven. Together we looked to the hills for our help. Prayer: Dearest Father, Thank you for lifting us up as we walked this mysterious journey together. Thank you for being our ever present help. Thank you for teaching us to look to You.

Trains, Planes and Ships, Oh My By Julie Engelhardt Art by Jillian Jones
T
raveling at our leisure is one of the many pleasures we can take advantage of as we get older. There’s no need to take that long-awaited European trip during the peak season — you can do it any time you please. Here’s some ideas in choosing the type of excursioin that best suits your interest and abilities. According to travel expert Liz Dahl, owner of Boomertravelpatrol. com, some travelers enjoy going on trips with their adult children and their grandchildren, and there are ways for this multi-generational crew to work together to have a good time. SHIP
“Cruising is a very popular option for older travelers,” Liz says. “You’re all at the same place, but there’s something for everyone to do.” The younger kids might be able to join in on activities like swimming and rock climbing, the teens have their ‘clubs’ where they can hang out with like-minded peers, and the older adults and
seniors can go to the casino, watch a movie, or go for a walk on deck. “It’s the perfect solution for a group with so many different age ranges,” Liz says. If you want to take a cruise sans children, there are excursions just for those 55 and older, and many often cater to those who have certain mobility limitations. “European river cruises are just lovely because they’re smaller, they go slowly down rivers, and if you decide to participate in one of the land excursions, they’ll let you know how much walking is involved. You get to choose your level of activity,” Liz says. BUS
Bus tours are another ideal way for older people to travel and see the sights. Margaret Maertzen, 88, has quite a bit of experience traveling by bus with Shockey Tours and Charters. She and her travel buddies took vacations in Canada; along the western United States to the coast of Washington, Oregon, and California; and across the southern United States. “One trip was 18 days and another lasted for 22 days,” she says. “Bus tours are a good way to see everything. They’re very convenient.” PAGE 54 >>
Here are just a few suggestions on how to make your adventures enjoyable as well as safe: Plan ahead to make sure your trip goes off without a hitch. Do your research on how you will get to your destination, what amenities are available, and what accommodations will suit your specific needs.
52 Fall 2019 / TodaysTransitionsNow.com
Take out travel insurance. “It’s extremely important,” Liz says. “Number one, Medicare does not cover you overseas. Number two, even if you’re in the states, things happen. If something happens and you haven’t taken out travel insurance and you need to have any kind of hospitalization, paying for it out of pocket it cost cost thousands and thousands of dollars.”
Always keep your medication and personal items with you. “Never pack medication, identification, or other personal amenities into your suitcase,” Liz says. “Luggage does get lost. It doesn’t happen every day, but it can happen.”
If you’re not sure how to plan a trip on your own, contact a travel agent. “We have access to a variety of services that will help you make your trip go as smoothly as possible,” Liz says.

TRAIN
Train travel across the United States can also be a marvelous way to see our country, says Bonnie Pintozzi, project manager for The Travel Authority/ALTOUR. “It’s an easy, comfortable, safe, and affordable alternative to flying,” she says. “You normally receive a free route guide on board each train, telling you to look out the window and enjoy the incredible scenery, something you can’t see from 35,000 feet above when you’re in an airplane.” Amtrak offers services to help you get to your train, boarding, baggage check, and customized meal delivery so you don’t have to walk down the aisles to the dining car. You can also request lower-level seating near restrooms so that you don’t have to climb up and down the stairs to reach the facilities.

PLANE
If you do want to get to your destination quickly, then flying is the optimum solution. Many airlines are offering direct flights to cities around the country. Just recently, American Airlines added a non-stop flight from Louisville to Los Angeles, a perfect way to visit the west coast without racing through the airport to catch a connecting flight. Older people are still flying as they find it the perfect way to have all of the conveniences they need all in one place. Marita Williams, manager of product development and travel promotions for the American Automobile Association (AAA), says that a good idea is to use the wheelchair service at the airport. Agents can wheel you to the gate to make sure you get to your flight on time. “My mom loves that service,” she says. “She’s 85 and she flies out to see the grandkids quite often, and we always get her a wheelchair, even though she doesn’t need it. We feel safer knowing she’s getting where she needs to be.”

Practical solutions for making caregiving easier.
Making Mealtimes Just Right
If caregivers are concerned about loved ones with dementia not eating properly, Kayla Cook, owner of Caring Excellence, has the recipe for keeping everyone on the right track: •S hare your meal time with the patient and let her mirror you when you’re eating at the same table. This will allow the caregiver to also give cues to remind the patient that he or she should be eating. •H ave healthy meals prepared ahead of time that are easy to reheat in the microwave.
Keep Your Balance with These Gadgets The fear of falling is always on the minds of older adults, as well as their caregivers, especially at night when vision is limited. Cheryl Hepp Basham, retired project manager for the Jefferson County Public Schools, suggests using dusk to dawn night lights that switch on automatically, so loved ones don’t have to remember to turn them on. Also, invest in detection devices that can be worn around the neck or wrist. These are designed to alert authorities or loved ones if the patient should fall and is unable to
•O ffer healthy snacks during the morning, afternoon, and evening. • As people age, they develop a sweet tooth. The caregiver can use this to her advantage by adding powdered protein or liquid supplements like Ensure or Boost to a dish of ice cream or a milkshake
Best Advice “You don't have to do it alone. You must learn to ask for help. I was struggling until I found the Alzheimer’s Association and took free classes. I learned so much from the organization and other caregivers. There is help and support out there.” —Horticultural Therapist Lucy Martin
Friendships = Happiness Older adults may find that the days pass slowly and feel they have nothing to look forward to if they’re primarily homebound. It’s important to get them involved in an adult day health program, says Sheila Carter of Heartsong Memory Care. “This provides them with structure and something meaningful to do to break up their day. They will participate in physical exercise, provide socialization, and receive a nutritious meal and snacks. It's also beneficial mentally and physically for the caregiver.” 56 Fall 2019 / TodaysTransitionsNow.com

Caregiver Circle
By Megan Willman
Practical solutions for making caregiving easier.
Do You Need More Help? Most of us seek to broaden our horizons in any way we can, but there are a few topics that we tend to avoid. Preparing for our long-term health and medical needs is one of them. In general, this is a tough topic to face. It can be compounded by the natural fear that comes from the unknown. We ask ourselves questions such as “What are my options?,” “What can I afford?,” and “How do I even know what to ask?” We met with Kelly Miller, community relations director at Morning Pointe of Louisville and Scott Jerke, director of rehabilitation services for VNA Health at Home to discuss how to make the right healthcare decisions.
Should I stay or should I go? For most people, it is preferable to stay in their own homes as long as possible. The real trick is figuring out when it is the right time to leave.
Scott suggests asking yourself a few simple questions. - Can I stay safe at home? - Will I be able to overcome my health obstacles? - If I stay home and do need some assistance, what do I need to do?
Is home health care the best option? Most often, home health care is first considered after a surgical procedure or general decline in health. Skilled services from these agencies can offer a team of individuals who come into the home for scheduled visits to provide therapy and medical assistance. One key aspect to consider is the availability of one’s caregiver and support system. With enough support, staying home can be a viable option.
How and when do I get started? Scott and Kelly agree that many people don’t make these decisions until they’re coming out of the
hospital or rehab and either can’t be home alone or can’t be there at all. “We have an inclination to wait until there’s a crisis, and then it’s a decision made of necessity rather than out of preparedness,” Kelly says.
“Generally, making these decisions when one is in their 60s will work, but if you already have medical concerns, begin to make a plan,” Scott says. It’s really never too early, and it can be easier to think about these topics when you’re not forced to consider them in a crisis. If possible, make these plans for yourself. When one waits too late, it is often the adult children who must make the decisions. That’s stressful for the adult child and can feel disempowering to the individual who needs the care. Making the decision together is best all around when possible. Here are a few suggestions: - Search the internet to explore your options. - Make phone calls and, if possible, talk with those acquainted with the locations selected. - Visit several places to see the variety of options provided. - Talk to the experts. Each location has someone like Scott and Kelly who can answer questions.

Celebrating the Sounds of Kentucky
FRAZIER HISTORY MUSEUM Music is an art form that transcends boundaries. A popular song can cross national, racial, social, and economic lines to become part of a greater common culture. Kentucky is often credited for its role in the development of bluegrass music, but the state has produced seminal figures in nearly every significant movement in American music — from ragtime to country, folk to blues, jazz to R&B, and classic rock to hip hop. To that end the Bluegrass state deserves a place on the American music pantheon along with Mississippi, Louisiana, and all the other celebrated musical capitals. And this exhibit is a celebration of the rich, mostly untold tale of Kentucky music.
WHEN: Thru February 2020 WHERE: Frazier History Museum, 829 W. Main St., Louisville TICKETS: $10-$14, free for children 4 and under and member CONTACT: 502.753.5663
