FROM THE
EDITOR
Dear Friends,
Oops – I almost said it.
That fretful phrase I’ve vowed
never to say.
My friend and I were having
lunch and talking about different things we’d done over
the past year. She usually goes skiing each winter, so I
asked her about that, and then I almost said it.
Tanya Tyler • tanya@samplerpublications.com
“I’d like to try to ski, but I’m too – ”
I caught myself just in time, just before those dreaded
words popped out. “I’m too old!” That self-defeating,
self-deprecating phrase that can become a convenient
excuse not to try something new. It really does get you
off the hook for some things. If you claim you’re “too
old” to do something, nobody blames you for not
trying. Why, you might hurt yourself – not worth the
risk. People understand.
But I remembered I am Living Well 50 Plus. I’m not
too old for some things. I can still give skiing a try. I
realize I won’t be able to bust the moves like Jean-
Claude Killy, but I can probably tackle the bunny
slopes without hurting myself. So this winter I’ll give
skiing a try. What have you not allowed yourself to do?
When have you caught yourself saying you’re too old
to do something?
Live life like you mean it!

Historic Clay’s
Ferry Bridge
Still in Use
Some drivers like
to take the scenic
route
by Sandra W. Plant, Staff Writer
Before 1946, when U.S. 25 was
a major north-south highway,
travelers had no choice but to
cross the Kentucky River between
Fayette and Madison counties on
the old Clay’s Ferry Bridge.
All that changed when the
first section of the bridge on I-75
opened to traffic. The new Clay’s
Ferry Bridge, at 200 feet above the
river, dwarfs the classic structure
of the former Clay’s Ferry Bridge
far below.
The old Clay’s Ferry Bridge is
still regularly inspected by the
state and is open to local traffic
and sightseers who enjoy the
JULY/AUG 2 0 1 4
scenic beauty of the old highway
as it makes its way down the
incline on the river’s north side.
The descent offers a fine view of
the river and palisades. The climb
back up on the south side includes
more spectacular views plus a harrowing
horseshoe curve that must
have been a thrilling experience
in a pre-1946 auto or a horse and
buggy.
Construction of the old bridge
began in 1868 and continued until
the one-lane span opened to traffic
in 1870. The total length of the
steel truss bridge is 442.8 feet with
a vertical clearance above the deck
of 16.4 feet. The builder, William
Gunn of North Carolina, erected
a masterpiece that has served well
for 144 years, although several
renovations have been made over
time.
As the bridge’s name implies, a
ferry existed at the site as early as
1792. A thriving community with
a shipyard, warehouses and mills
had been catering to river traffic
for several years before the ferry
began operations.
The community and the bridge
are named after the prominent
Clay family that owned much of
the land in the area. Green Clay,
father of abolitionist Cassius Clay,
bought the ferry in 1798 from its
first owner, Valentine Stone.
Elizabeth (Tish) Carr, who has
lived near Clay’s Ferry since 1954,
has hiked with family to the site
of one of the old grist mills at a
place called the “wattle hole” on
Callaway Creek on the Madison
County side of the river. When
her children were young, she
invited their school classes to visit
the site of an old pioneer cabin
at Callaway Creek on the family
property.
Her sister-in-law, Betsy Ann
Carr Smith, has lived near Clay’s
Ferry for most of her life. She
recalls hearing her grandfather,
Bernard Madison Igoe, tell about
crossing the river on the old ferry.
“When I was growing up, we
thoroughly enjoyed the river,”
Smith said. “It was nice and clean
back then. I used to swim the
river. And we’d swing out over the
river on a grapevine and drop in.”
At age 13 or 14, Smith and
2 HAMBURG JOURNAL WWW.HAMBURGJOURNAL.COM

two friends jumped off the Clay’s
Ferry Bridge. When she told her
grandfather, he said, “That was a
courageous thing to do. But it’s
a good thing you didn’t hit a log
under there.” Smith decided she’d
never jump off the bridge again.
But it wasn’t her last risky encounter
with the bridge.
During the flood of 1938, Smith
and her friends made their way
onto the deck of the bridge. “We
could lie down on the bridge and
touch the water,” she said. “It was
a stupid thing to do because the
water was way over the road.”
Nancy Ross of Richmond
remembers when the replacement
bridge was built. “When they built
the new bridge on the interstate, it
was so high some people said they
didn’t know if they were going to
go over it,” she said. “There was
also a rumor going around that
the bridge had a crack in it and it
would fail.”
The good news is that both
the old and the new Clay’s Ferry
bridges are safe, still standing and
serving the traveling public very
well.

Late Life Success:
Clara Barton
JULY/AUG 2 0 1 4
Founder of the American Red Cross
by Angela S. Hoover,
Staff Writer
Clara (Clarissa)
Barton was born on
Christmas Day in
1821 in Oxford, Mass. A shy child,
at a very young age she cared for
her older brother, David, who had
suffered an accident. This early
experience gave her the skills and
affinity for nursing she would use
later in her life.
Barton became a teacher at the
age of 15 and opened a free public
school in Bordentown, N.J., in
1854. Local authorities were so
impressed by the rapid enrollment
that they provided $4,000
to build a larger school. When the
new schoolhouse opened, Barton
was replaced by a man who was
paid double her salary. She moved
to Washington, D.C., to work in
the patent office – one of the first
women to work for the U.S. government
in any capacity at a salary
equal to a man. This inspired her
to champion for civil rights for the
rest of her life.
During the Civil War, Barton
helped wounding soldiers who
came into the capital. At first, she
collected and distributed supplies
for the Union Army. When she
saw there was a need for supplies
at the front lines, she used her own
money to obtain them. She showed
up after midnight at the Battle of
Cedar Mountain with a wagon
loaded with supplies. She did this
at both small and large battles.
Barton soon switched from
delivering supplies to working as
a nurse. She first saw combat in
Fredericksburg, Va., in 1862. This
is when she earned the nickname
“Angel of the Battlefield.” Union
leaders were impressed with her
organizational skills and scientific
approach to nursing. By 1864, she
was running Union hospitals in
Virginia and North Carolina. She
often worked under fire. Once,
while tending to a wounded man, a
bullet shot through her sleeve and
killed a soldier standing next to her.
After the Civil War ended in
1865, Barton appealed directly to
President Abraham Lincoln for assistance
in finding missing soldiers.
From 1865-1868, she operated the
War Department’s Missing Soldiers
Office, helping reunite soldiers
and their families. She also gave
speeches and lectures about her
war experiences.
Barton traveled to Europe under
7
doctor’s orders to rest. She met
members of the newly organized
International Red Cross who had
heard of her work. She served as a
volunteer in the Franco-Prussian
War from 1870-1871 and was
honored by both sides for helping
the wounded.
When she returned home, she
decided America needed an organization
like the International Red
Cross. At age 60, Barton founded
the American Red Cross in 1881
and served as its first president.
The original intention of the
International Red Cross was to
serve as a neutral aid provider
during armed conflicts. However,
Barton believed the American
Red Cross should provide aid to
natural-disaster victims as well. In
1884, at the Third International
Red Cross Conference in Geneva,
Switzerland, the American Red
Cross suggested an amendment to
the Geneva Treaty that would provide
aid to natural-disaster victims.
This amendment was accepted and
named the American Amendment.
As president of the American
Red Cross, Barton oversaw the
assistance and relief work for the
victims of the 1889 Johnstown
flood and the 1900 Galveston
flood. Today, there are about half
a million Red Cross volunteers
working in 500 chapters across the
nation.
Barton retired in 1904 as head of
the American Red Cross at age 83.
She continued to pursue humanitarian
efforts, working for women’s
suffrage and prison reform and
with religious minorities. She died
at her home in Glen Echo, Md., on
April 12, 1912.

Local news anchor is a triathlete,
cancer survivor
by Tanya J. Tyler,
Editor
Sam Dick could
very well be the
poster person for
what it’s like to be Living Well 50
Plus.
He’s a award-winning news anchor
for WKYT-Channel 27. He’s
an enthusiastic triathlete. And he’s
a cancer survivor.
A native Kentuckian, Dick also
spent some of his growing years in
Washington, D.C., where his father,
noted CBS news correspondent
David Dick, worked. Dick attended
the University of Georgia. At first,
he didn’t plan on going into broadcast
journalism like his father.
“Certainly I was interested in
what he was doing and thought it
was pretty neat stuff when I was
little, but I didn’t really consider
following in his footsteps until
probably the age of 21,” Dick said.
“I was finishing up my sophomore
year and had to declare a major. I
thought, ‘How about journalism?’
My favorite subjects were English
and history and I enjoyed reading
a lot.”
His career in broadcast journalism
began when he got an internship
at the CBS station in Miami.
“I had written to about 50 stations,
saying I just wanted to come there
during the summer and help however
I could in the newsroom for
free, and Miami was one of the few
places that said, ‘Yeah, come on,’”
Dick said. He spent three months
there, learning the ins and outs of
working in a television newsroom,
going out on stories with the news
crews and learning about shooting
and editing.
“I got a chance to air a couple
of my stories, which was pretty
incredible because I was an intern,”
he said. “I took advantage of opportunities
and it worked out really
well.”
When he returned to school
for his junior year, he got a job
as weekend editor at a television
station in Atlanta – his first paying
job in broadcast journalism. He
was later promoted to part-time
reporter. His first full-time newsreporting
job was at WKYT.
“I came to WKYT as a news
reporter at the age of 23 and within
a couple of months this new show
called PM Magazine came up,”
Dick said. “They asked if I was
interested in it. They said, ‘This
isn’t news, this is entertainment; it’s
information.’”
Dick co-anchored this show for
three years. “That was a lot of fun,”
he said. “I got to travel around the
country and do longer stories.”
He next got a chance to work in
news in New York City. He stayed
there a year and a half before going
to a station in Orlando, where he
was a consumer reporter and also
did investigative reporting for four
years. While there, he got a phone
call.
“It was Ralph Gabbard at
WKYT,” Dick said. “[News anchor]
John Lindgren was leaving to go to
a station in Nashville. So my first
anchor job is the one I’ve got now.
I started in 1987.” During his time
at WKYT, he has won four regional
Emmy awards and two regional
Edward R. Murrow awards.
Outside of his work at the station,
Dick has become a dedicated
triathlete. He and his wife, Noelle,
own Swim Bike Run Kentucky,
where aspiring triathletes can train.
Last August, despite taking a tough
spill from his bike that resulted in a
separated shoulder, Dick competed
in his first Ironman Triathlon in
Louisville – a challenge that included
a 2.4-mile swim in the Ohio
River, a 112-mile bike ride and a
full marathon (26.2 miles).
“I had a fantastic, awesome experience,”
he said. “Doing triathlons
has changed my life. I love it. It’s a
lot of fun and you meet a lot of neat
people, and it makes you feel really
good when you hit the finish line.”
But Dick has faced an even
bigger challenge in his life – prostate
cancer. His father fought the
disease for 17 years. Because of this
family history, Dick knew he had to
be checked earlier than the recommended
age of 50 years.
“I did fine for a few years,” he
said. “When my father passed away,
then it was time for me to go back
and look at what we were dealing
with.” He had a biopsy that showed
he had prostate cancer. He had a
prostatectomy and is still taking
radiation treatments. He remains
optimistic about his prognosis.
“I’m 58 years old and I feel like
I’m in really good shape for the
most part, but there are side effects
of having your prostate removed
that you have to deal with,” he said.
After sharing his story publicly,
Dick has become an ambassador of
sorts for other men facing prostate
cancer.
“Once every few weeks, once a
month, I’ll hear from a man who’s
just found out he has prostate
cancer and wants to know what I
did,” he said. “I generally tell them
everybody’s on their own journey
in this. There’s not one single way
to treat it; everybody’s a little bit
different. It depends on your age,
your family history, your PSA level,
a lot of different factors. I am very
open with them. I tell them how
I went through it and answer any
questions I can. I had lots of people
help me when I was going through
it so I try to pass that on.”
His best advice is to know your
family history and take care of
business. “I had no symptoms
whatsoever,” he said. “My warning
sign was the doubling of my
PSA number. Which didn’t mean
I had cancer, but it was a sign that
there may be a problem. When the
biopsy came back, we had a decision
to make. And we decided to be
pretty aggressive about it.”
Dick plans to enjoy continue
enjoying his life without regrets or
worry.
“I try to keep a positive outlook
on life,” he said. “Family is really
important. I’ve had tremendous
support from my wife and the rest
of my family. I would not want to
be alone on this journey, so if you
have family support, I think that’s a
big part of living longer and being
healthy.”
I took advantage of
opportunities and
it worked out really
well.” – Sam Dick

Should You Give Your
Adult Children Money?
by Angela S. Hoover,
Staff Writer
A 2012 study by
the National Center
for Policy Analysis
found that 59 percent of Baby
Boomer parents were providing
financial support to their adult
children, including living expenses,
medical bills and loan payoffs. The
economy hasn’t improved these
past two years, which means Baby
Boomer parents are probably still
spending more than half their
resources financially assisting their
adult children. Whether parents
should give their adult children
money depends on the specific
circumstances.
There is a stark difference
between today’s work model and
the world in general for young and
middle-aged adults. Previously,
whether a young person went to
college or not, he or she started
working for a company and stayed
with it until retiring with a pension.
There were white collar and blue
collar jobs. None of this holds true
in today’s world and job market.
Nowadays there aren’t enough jobs
for eligible workers. The available
jobs are often only part time and
in the service industry. The labor
force is now a disposable commodity;
it’s a “fast-food workforce.”
Even more startling is wage
stagnation. Wages have remained
flat for 30 years. Typically, the
next generation enjoyed easier
economic conditions and life
circumstances than the previous
generation. It was part of the
American Dream: working to
ensure your children had a better
life than you. Generation X (those
born between 1965-1979 or 1984,
depending on source) was the first
generation that had less lifetime
earnings than their parents, according
to The Atlantic magazine.
This trend has trickled down to the

Individual answers to the question

Millennials or Generation Y (those
born between the early 1980s
and 2000s). There is a counter
voice highlighting the wealth gap

insisting Xers are slackers or Ys
are lazy and entitled. The average

Urban Institute. These and other
findings make official the 1990s
predictions that these two generations
are the only group in the
country currently worse off than
their parents were three decades
ago. The study concludes if current
trends for younger generations are
not reversed, within a few decades
they may become more dependent
than older Americans today, especially
in retirement, relying upon
safety-net programs less capable of
providing basic support. Furthermore,
Baby Boomers are not retiring;
they are the only employed
group earning more money than at
any other time in their lives.
Determining whether to financially
assist adult children will
require some serious, possibly uncomfortable
soul-searching. What
are the character and motivations
of the adult child? What was their
upbringing like? If the adult child
is from Generation X, were they
left to teach themselves life skills
with no guidance? Were Millennial
adults “helicopter parented,” coddled
and awarded prizes for simply
existing? These two extremes in
childhood and development can
surprisingly bear the same fruits. It

Is there any way you can address
the underlying issues? Can
you function as a life coach and
nurture underdeveloped life skills
in a loving, non-patronizing or
critical way? Can you help ease
the adult child into independence,
perhaps with a time limit of financial
assistance with clear goals they
must work toward? Older parents
often wrestle with determining
when help is beneficial and when
it is enabling. Considering the
changed face of the world and the
work model along with your child’s
upbringing can help when weighing
the consequences of helping
or not.

Don’t be shy
about snipping
off the leaves
of your favorite
fresh herbs for
cooking.
Gardening:
Grow Yourself a Pot o’ Herbs
Eliminate weeding with container
gardening
by Frank Kourt,
Staff Writer
The older I get,
the more wisdom
I find in growing
things in pots on or near my
patio.
For one thing, container gardening
virtually eliminates weeding.
The few weeds that grow in
my containers are easily spotted
and plucked, saving a lot of bending,
not to mention mulching and
battling unwanted flora such as
the ubiquitous Virginia creeper,
whose toxic oxalic acid gives me
contact dermatitis (translation:
an itchy rash on my arms).
Container gardening is not the
answer to growing all veggies,
however. We tend to use containers
for such things as tomatoes
and peppers, whose plants behave
themselves and don’t wander
all over Kingdom Come, unlike
squash, pumpkins or cucumbers.
(Yes, I still plant my cucumbers
in the ground, among the everinvading
Virginia creeper.)
We’ve found another great use
for container gardens: growing
herbs.
As I may have stated in a previous
column, I find herbs almost
thrive on neglect. Just give them
some good soil, a nice sunny area
and water when they need it and
they’re good to go. They don’t
require a lot of fertilizing, and
they seem to naturally repel bugs.
About the only attention they
need, once they’re planted, is for
you to go by and nip off any flowering
that may start to encourage
leafing, which is what you want
herbs to do. Don’t be shy about
snipping off the leaves of your
favorite fresh herbs for cooking.
After all, that’s what they’re for,
and the plant should grow back
bigger and bushier than ever after
some snipping.
We don’t use fancy containers
for our herbs; we just pick up
inexpensive colorful plastic tubs
with white rope handles that run
from about $6 to $10 at Wal-Mart
and most other big stores. We
drill holes on the bottom and in
the sides around the bottom, fill
them with potting soil and stick
in the herbs of choice.
These containers don’t last forever.
After three or so years they
get brittle, crack and need to be
replaced, but they’re so cheap in
the first place, you don’t mind.
One thing to keep in mind
about container gardening is
the need for frequent watering
because, unlike plants in the
ground, those in containers need
water probably every two or three
days, depending on the rainfall.
This year, I have one pot each
of Italian parsley, sage, oregano,
basil, cilantro, rosemary and
thyme and they’re all doing
fantastically. The thyme is the
only one that made it through
last year’s rough winter, so it’s
a crapshoot whether you’ll see
the return of some of your herbs
next summer. But that shouldn’t
be a problem, since you can buy
new plants next year or start from
seed.
Even better than growing them,
you’ll be able to use your herbs to
make food taste fresher and better
than if you used the dried variety.
In general, you should use a 3-to-
1 ratio of fresh to dried herbs,
since the dried ones are more
concentrated. That means that if
your recipe calls for one teaspoon
of dried basil, you should use one
tablespoon of chopped fresh basil
(three teaspoons are equal to one
tablespoon).

Who You Gonna Call?
Kentucky Association of Senior
Services has many resources
by Jamie Lober, Staff Writer
The Kentucky Association
of Senior Services (KASS) is a
wonderful organization, but many
people don’t realize it exists.
“There are a lot of people that
do not know about the Association
simply because they have not
dealt with a loved one or parent
aging and do not know where to
start,” said Autumn Dominski,
director of marketing for The
Lafayette, a senior living community
in Lexington. “Basically, the
Association is a group of professionals
that provides information
or services to help seniors.”
The mission of KASS is to distill
accurate and truthful information
about a wide variety of services
important to those aged 50 years
JULY/AUG 2 0 1 4
and over. The person reaching out
to KASS could be an adult child or
the senior him/herself. Whoever
calls will find a diverse listing
of experts willing to share their
knowledge.
“We have an elder law attorney,
someone to help you navigate
when you want to place a loved
one into a community or if you
need home-care resources,”
said Dominski. “We have someone
that can walk you through
each step. There is a home-care
agency involved in the Association
as well, so it is a team that can
provide information to anybody
looking for senior services.”
It is natural to be unsure where
to start because there is so much
to discover. “There are things to
learn about living wills, trusts and
powers of attorney; about what
to do with your home when you
are ready to move to a community;
and what levels of care are
out there,” said Dominski. “We
have someone that can help with
downsizing and decluttering for
seniors.”
Sometimes as people try to
make these big decisions, disputes
arise. “We have a mediator in
our group, so if families start to
disagree on what to do with Mom
or Dad, someone can step in and
handle family dynamics,” said
Dominski. “Families are relieved
that there are resources out there
that can make planning for their
parents’ future easier.”

with the people at KASS or you
may just have a few quick issues to
address. KASS is prepared to help
in either situation. “We provide
people with a wealth of information,
so it is a one-stop-shop in
that sense,” said Dominski.
Seniors who turn to KASS love
that things are simplified for them.
“Instead of searching online for a
million different services or trying
to read all the information about a
benefit, we can get them the information
quickly,” Dominski said.
“It is rewarding to do what I do
day to day to help families fill the
rest of their lives with enrichment,
safety and fun things to do. I also
like meeting the families.”

End-of-Life
Directives
Give Families
Peace of Mind
State your wishes
before an illness
takes away your
ability to decide
by Donald Hoffman
We write songs about it, we
perform plays about it and we are
constantly preoccupied with how
unexpectedly it can happen. Death
indeed is a common subject. Yet
our own personal death is possibly
the most difficult aspect of life we
confront.
Problems arise when death
comes quickly. Not for the
deceased, certainly, but for the
family left behind. However,
sometimes death does not come
quickly. Sometimes it arrives after
a long, lingering illnesses caused
by cancer, dementia or similar
disabling conditions.
End-of-life directives, sometimes
called living wills or
advanced directives, are usually
prepared in consultation with
family members, your chosen
surrogate or power of attorney
(POA) and your physician. It is
important to have your end-oflife
directives in place before an
illness reaches a terminal stage or
you are no longer
PILATES
able to make
decisions on your own. Without

these directives, how you will be
treated, medicated, kept alive and
fed during your last days, as well as
your funeral arrangements, are out
of your hands. Family members,
your brothers and sisters or your
children and wife or husband will
be forced to make decisions that
should be yours to make. Directives
are your opportunity to
notify family members, doctors,
health-care workers and morticians
of your wishes.
Directives, much like a will,
are legal documents. There are
numerous Internet sites providing
information and many available
formats to choose, but seeking
the assistance of an elder attorney,
Hospice or senior service
organization in making one is not
uncommon. End-of-life directives,
advanced directives and living
wills are state sensitive, differing
in form from state to state. If you
spend a great deal of time in different
states, you should complete
directives on each state’s approved
form.
Each document must be witnessed
by two individuals who
are not related by blood, are not
employed as health-care workers
or have not already been appointed
POA or surrogate. The content
of each end-of-life directive will
vary depending upon its purpose.
Appointing a surrogate or POA
is often the initial task. Either can
handle your financial affairs, make
medical decisions about your
treatment, look after your welfare
and make end-of-life decisions
if you designate them to do so.
Advanced directives or living wills
specify the types of medical care
you wish to have during your last
days and can also dictate how
you wish to die. You can provide
details and wishes such as being

no longer able to eat; stopping

specific medical treatments when
you are close to death; passing
peacefully without pain; being
kept comfortable and sedated;
donating organs after death; or
being artificially kept alive. Other
aspects, such as funeral directions,
disposal of remains and what you
want your family to know can also
be included.
Emergency room treatment
differs from hospital to hospital;
however, ER doctors are required
to resuscitate and keep patients
alive. A Do Not Resuscitate order,
a separate document or advanced
directive, must be signed by you,
your POA or surrogate and your
doctor. Each of these documents
needs wide distribution. Once
they are prepared and witnessed,
they should be copied and
given to family members, doctors,
health-care and social workers,
morticians and others concerned
with your care. They should be
placed in your file and be readily
available. Only then will you be
respected, your wishes followed
and your treatment humane.

Misconceptions About
Caregiving Add Stress
JULY/AUG 2 0 1 4
Demands can be physical, emotional,
psychological
by Lisa M. Petsche, Staff Writer
Caring for a chronically ill or
medically frail relative can offer
many rewards, but it also involves
physical, psychological and emotional
demands. It can be particularly
challenging when the care
receiver has heavy hands-on needs,
a difficult personality or mental
impairment.
Stress can be further compounded
by certain thoughts and belief
systems. Here are some common
misconceptions among caregivers
and the unhealthy behaviors that
typically result from them.
Faulty Thinking.
The caregiver believes:
• He or she can and should
provide all the care.
• No one else can take good care
of the care receiver.
• Medical professionals are
wrong about the care receiver’s
diagnosis, prognosis or healthcare
needs.
Maladaptive Behavior.
The caregiver:
• Devotes all his or her time and
energy to caregiving.
• Declines assistance.
• Promises the care receiver he
or she will never have to live in
a long-term-care residence.
• Withholds from other family
members information about
the care receiver’s condition
and needs.
Healthy Coping
These are some adaptive coping
strategies caregivers can use to
prevent falling into destructive
behavior patterns.
Acceptance
• An important first step is to
accept the reality of your care
receiver’s illness. Allow yourself
to experience all the emotions
that surface. Make a conscious
decision to let go of any bitterness
resulting from unrealized
plans and dreams so you can
move forward and channel
your energy in constructive
ways.
• Accept that the way your care
receiver feels and what they can
do may fluctuate, and be flexible
about plans.
Information
• Ask a friend to research your
care receiver’s health condition.
Share the information among
family members. Knowledge
is power.
• Be open to learning practical
skills, such as proper transferring
and bathing techniques.
Mastering these tasks will help
make caregiving safer and less
stressful. The local office on
aging is a good resource.
• Be patient and keep communication
lines open as you and
your care receiver adjust to the
illness.
• Ensure the family is kept current
about changes in your care
receiver’s status and include
them in decision-making.
Preparation
• Find a medical specialist whom
you and your care receiver
respect and trust. Ask what to
expect during the course of the
illness.
• Help your care receiver get his
or her affairs in order, including
completing advance directives,
powers of attorney and a will.
• Talk with your care receiver
about his or her wishes.
Discuss living arrangements,
outside help, surrogate decision-making,
end-of-life-care
and funeral arrangements. Be
careful not to make promises
you may not be able to keep.
Simplification
• Eliminate sources of stress in
your life wherever possible.
Set priorities, streamline tasks
and learn to settle for less than
perfection. Hire help with personal
care or household chores
if finances permit.
Self-Preservation
• Look after your own health. Eat
nutritious meals, get adequate
rest, exercise and see your
primary physician regularly.
1 3
• Set aside quiet time to nurture
your spirituality and keep
yourself grounded.
• Do something that provides
you with meaning and purpose
outside the caregiving role,
such as researching your family
tree.
• Find something relaxing you
can do to give yourself a daily
break – perhaps reading or
listening to music. In addition,
schedule regular time away
from caregiving duties. By
being kind to yourself this way,
you’ll also be more effective
when you resume caregiving.
Connection
• Make an effort to stay connected
to your friends. Find someone
you can talk with openly,
who will listen and empathize.
It’s important to express your
thoughts and feelings.
• Seek out other caregivers.
They understand the best what
you’re going through. Join a
support group in your community
or on the Internet.
Assistance
• Accept offers of help. Ask
other family members to share
the load and be specific about
the help you need. If you don’t
have family nearby or they’re
unwilling or unable to assist,
make use of community respite
services.

TRAVEL
Here’s Your Key to a
Great Getaway
Florida’s Sarasota area has lots to offer
by Jan Ross,
Staff Writer
The Sarasota area
of Florida has a lot
to offer travelers,
including the fact that it is below
the frost line, so it has lovely, warm
weather in the winter.
But it’s the sand that is most
appealing. Although every beach
in Florida has sand, it’s not like
the sand here. Formed of crushed
quartz, Sarasota sand is always cool
even on the hottest days and has a
soft, baby-powderlike texture that
you won’t find on any other beach.
Because a beach house or condo
is always a nice option on a trip, the
Crescent Royal Condos on Siesta
Key make a great choice for your
Sarasota getaway. Condo No. 7a is
one of the best choices in the entire
complex. With more 2,000 square
feet, including four bedrooms – two
of which are master bedrooms – a
huge, fully equipped kitchen, a large
living room and an amazing glassedin
porch with a view of the Gulf
of Mexico, it’s a perfect location.
There are also one-, two-, three- or
four-bedroom units in the complex,
all with a view of the Gulf and
all with a porch, the perfect place
to watch the spectacular Florida
sunsets.
Cross the bridge from Sarasota
to the beach area of Siesta Key and
you enter a charming area with local
shops, wonderful restaurants and
plenty of beach houses, cottages and
condos. The public beach has a nice
playground, picnic areas and tennis
and beach volleyball courts. Watersports
abound in this sanctuary from
winter with scuba diving, boating,
parasailing, jet skiing and sailing
all available. However, just relaxing
on the beach is always a good
choice. Spend a day at the beach,
then check out all the little shops in
the Village and have a scrumptious
Italian dinner at
Café Gabbiano.
Be sure to try the
lobster ravioli – it is
amazing!
On another day during your stay,
pack your swim suits and a picnic
lunch and spend some time at the
beautiful beach on Lido Key. The
public beach area is pristine and
beautiful with changing rooms and
even a small public pool for a dip if
you tire of swimming in the ocean.
In the late afternoon,
head to St. Armands
Circle in Sarasota,
where there are many
upscale shops and restaurants.
Plan on having
dinner at the Tommy
Bahama restaurant for
a wonderful dining
experience. Try to sit
in the second-story
dining room, which has
a pretty view of the area
through
the large windows. The
crab bisque, coconut shrimp and
Parmesan-crusted Sanibel chicken
add up to the perfect meal. You will
be too full for dessert, but be sure
to order the restaurant’s famous
Pina Colada cake to go. You won’t
be sorry!

50 Years Ago:
Jacques
Anquetil Wins
His Fifth Tour de
France
by Charles Sebastian, Staff Writer
In 1957, the winner of the 44th Tour
de France was Jacques Anquetil (pronounced
“ank-teel”). Anquetil would
win the race four more times, from
1961-64, making him the first cyclist to
win it five times.
Anquetil was born Jan. 8, 1934, in
Mont-Saint-Aignan, Seine-Maritime,
France. He became a pro cyclist at age 17
in 1950. Anquetil had exceptional ability
at riding solo against the clock without
pacing with the pack, a skill that earned
him the moniker “Monsieur Chrono.”
After Anquetil rode in the 1954 Summer
Olympics in Helsinki, Francis Pelissier,
a former Tour de France rider, contacted
him about riding for the team. Anquetil
accepted and began training immediately.
Anquetil had many rivals throughout
his illustrious career, particularly
Raymond Poulidor. Poulidor never beat
Anquetil but pushed him to his limits.
Poulidor was a favorite in the public eye.
Anquetil was concerned about his public
image and the way the crowds incessantly
compared him to Poulidor.
Doping – the downfall of another eminent
cyclist, Lance Armstrong – was a
much less devastating issue in Anquetil’s
day. It was certainly not something that
would end a career. When asked about
doping, Anquetil said: “Leave me in
peace; everybody takes dope.” Even
then-French President Charles De-
Gaulle, when asked about Anquetil and
the ethics of doping, dodged the question:
“Doping? What doping? Did he or
did he not make them play the Marseillaise
[the French national anthem]
abroad?”
Anquetil retired from racing in 1969
and died in 1987 after suffering stomach
cancer. He is buried at Quincampoix,
France, where a stadium was erected in
his honor in 1983.
The Tour de France was the brainchild
of sports journalist Geo Lefevre, who
started the race in 1903 with the backing
of Henri Desgrange, his editor at L’Auto
newspaper. The race gained popularity
during its early years and it became a
custom for people to populate the streets
and cheer on their favorite cyclists. The
Tour has altered its route a number of
times through the years as well, which
gives competitors a constant change of
scenery and challenge.
Gulf of Tonkin
Incident
Expands
Vietnam War
by Frank Kourt, Staff Writer
Although the United States had
been involved in Vietnam since 1956,
when it sent military “advisors” to train
South Vietnamese servicemen to battle
insurgents from the north following the
French withdrawal from the country, a
key turning point was the Gulf of Tonkin
incident in 1964.
On Aug. 2 of that year, a report said
North Vietnamese craft fired torpedoes
at the U.S. destroyer Maddox, which was
purportedly on routine patrol. Another
report on Aug. 4 said North Vietnamese
craft fired upon both the Maddox and
the USS Turner Joy.
Significant doubts about the alleged
attacks persist to this day, but at the time
they were enough to prompt then-president
Lyndon B. Johnson to order the
first American bombing of North Vietnamese
targets in retaliation, destroying
a North Vietnamese oil storage facility
and about 30 North Vietnamese naval
vessels.
On Aug. 7, at Johnson’s request,
Congress overwhelmingly passed what
is termed the Tonkin Gulf Resolution,
providing Johnson a virtually openended
authorization to employ military
force against the North Vietnamese.
The de facto effect of the resolution
empowered Johnson to wage war on the
Hanoi regime without needing a formal
declaration of war. The resolution passed
unanimously in the House; it passed in
the Senate by a vote of 82-2.
This opened the way for major
American involvement in an undeclared
war that would last another 11 years.
It caused more than 58,000 American
military casualties and created a massive
political and ideological rift within
the United States. The last U.S. troops
were withdrawn from Vietnam in March
1973.

Baldness
Breakthrough
Scientists learning
to generate new hair
follicles
by Angela S. Hoover, Staff Writer
2 1
Although balding affects both
men and women, men are hit the
hardest by male-pattern baldness,
or androgenetic alopecia. It strikes
genetically predisposed individuals
when a byproduct of testosterone
called dihydrotestosterone
(DHT) causes hair follicles on the
scalp to shrink, producing everthinning
hairs until the follicles
eventually lose the capacity to
produce hair that protrudes above
the surface of the skin.
Presently, there are only two
FDA-approved treatments for
male-pattern baldness: minoxidil
(Rogaine), a vasodilator believed
to prevent or slow follicle miniaturization
by increasing nutrient
supply, and finasteride (Propecia),
which works by blocking the
conversion of testosterone into
DHT. Research has shown both
can prevent or slow hair loss and
sometimes induce regrowth by
rescuing follicles that have begun
to miniaturize. But neither can
revive totally shrunken follicles.
The only solution for this has been
relocating healthy follicles to barren
patches via invasive, expensive
hair-transplant procedures.
In the fall of 2013, researchers
successfully identified molecular
pathways that can be manipulated
to generate new hair follicles.
First considered possible in the
1950s when researchers observed
new hair follicles forming during
wound healing in rabbits
and mice, the work
was discredited
until 2007,
when
dermatolo-
gist George Cotsarelis from the
University of Pennsylvania’s
Perelman School of Medicine spotted
hairs growing in the middle
of small cuts made into the skin
of adult mice. Cotsarelis and his
colleagues determined these were
de novo hair follicles formed in a
process that looked a lot like embryogenesis.
The wound-healing
process causes skin cells to dedifferentiate,
providing a limited time
window during which those cells
can be persuaded to form new hair
follicles.
In addition, inhibiting Wnt signaling
during this window reduced
follicle neogenesis, while overexpressing
Wnt molecules in the skin
increased the number of new follicles,
according to a 2007 report in
the journal Nature. (Wnt are signal
transduction pathways that regulate
cell-to-cell interactions during
embryogenesis). Cotsarelis and
his colleagues had discovered a
potential way to generate new hair
follicles. He formed a company
called Follica in 2006 to develop
new combination therapies to
induce follicle neogenesis.
Follica has patented a minimally
invasive “skin perturbation” device
that removes the top layers of skin,
causing the underlying skin cells
to revert to a stem-like state, after
which a molecule is applied topically
to direct the formation of new
hair follicles. Preclinical and clinical
trials have all resulted in new
hair follicles in mice and humans.
But Cotsarelis’ group has also
learned that a protein called fibroblast
growth factor 9 (Fgf9), which
is secreted by gamma delta T cells
in the dermis, plays a key role in
the formation of new follicles during
wound healing in adult mice.
Fgf9 still needs to be tested on
human skin in xenograft models
and then in the clinic. There’s still
a long way to go, but now there is
real hope for banishing
baldness.

“Glaucoma is the third leading

somewhere Kimberly between F. Wilkins 5 and 10 million

a common 859.263.5755

Moore 121 with Prosperous the University Place, Suite of Kentucky.
“It is mostly a disease of our

As Mon with - Thurs, any 8:00-5:30, condition, Fri 9:30-2:00, some Sat. by
people are more susceptible to
glaucoma than others. “The biggest
risk factor other than advancing age
is family history,” Moore said. “If
someone in your family has glaucoma,
you should be aware of the
need to get an eye exam more often
than the average population.”
Know the warning signs of glaucoma.
“For run-of-the-mill glaucoma,
there are no particular symptoms,
but there are certain types that
may present with red eyes, sudden
eye pain or sudden decrease in
vision,” said Moore. “Some patients
may just have a slight headache or
halos around their vision or see
slight blurs or shadows, but the vast
majority [of people] are unaware
[they have glaucoma]. It is largely
asymptomatic until it is advanced.”
Since glaucoma is a disease of
the optic nerve that controls vision,
there are characteristic changes in
the appearance of the nerve as it gets
worse. Moore said the eye doctor
looks at the back of the eye to see if
it has signs of glaucoma, and if there
are any concerning signs, he or she
may order specific tests, such as one
that looks closer at peripheral vision.
The treatment for glaucoma,
especially early on, is with eye drops
and sometimes lasers. Be sure to
weigh the pros and cons of each
treatment with your eye doctor to
determine which is right for you. If
the disease advances despite using
these treatments, surgery might be
an option.
With early detection, people can
protect themselves from vision
loss, but this is not always possible
with some cases of glaucoma. Since
people often cannot tell they are
going blind until it is too late in the
disease’s progress, they need to act
more defensively. Based on age and
your diagnosis, it is recommended
you see your eye doctor either annually
or at least once every few years.
Being proactive can make a huge
difference.
“There are multiple studies that
have suggested that the patients that
go blind are the ones that present
with more rapid or advanced
disease,” Moore said. “If it is caught
in infancy, we can prevent glaucoma
from becoming a functional
problem.”
Advances in glaucoma treatment
are ongoing. “There is always hope
for the future, and as the healthcare
industry moves forward, there will
be more preventative efforts in all
kinds of medicine and disease,” said
Moore. “There is reason for hope for
more surgeries that are less invasive
in the future as well.”

The Lake District has numerous

most famously William
Wordsworth, who was born in
Cockermouth in 1770 and drew
much of his poetic inspiration
from the surrounding landscape.
Other poets, writers and painters
also lived and worked in the
area, including John Ruskin,
Beatrix Potter, Arthur Ransome
and Alfred Wainwright, author of
the classic Pictorial Guides to the
Lakeland Fells.
My sister and I recently spent a
week near Penrith in the northern
Lake District with our niece, her
husband and two small children.
Even though the scenery called us
out, day-long walks or bike rides
with an infant and a 3-year-old

HALT Emotional Spending
Are you feeling hungry, angry, lonely
or tired? Watch your wallet!
by Doris Settles
Americans love their stuff. But
all that stuff comes at a cost – frequently
a high cost.
Everyone knows spending
less than you make is the path to
financial security. But is that even
possible in today’s high-mortgage,
easy-credit, bigger-is-better world?
It is, but first you need to understand
the “whys” of your overspending
habit.
Today we have access to our
credit and bank accounts 24/7.
When we had to rely on cash on
hand, we balanced our checkbooks
and planned most purchases. Now
we have more available credit
than we have cash. We just have to
swipe our credit card and funds are
electronically whisked from our
accounts. Then the bill arrives and
we can’t pay it off. No problem. Just
pay the minimum and we’re good.
But letting account balances travel
forward means the debt just gets
higher and higher, and soon we’re
in so deep, with such high interest
rates, that we don’t see any chance
of getting out.
A friend or co-worker suggests a
fun activity. We should enjoy life,
but it’s important to know when
to decline. You can pay for the
evening with your credit card, but
if you don’t pay it off in full each
month, you’ll pay for that evening
for a long time. If you know you
can’t afford an activity, don’t cave
in. Instead, invite your friends over
for dinner, a game night or other
activity where you can still enjoy
time together without breaking
your budget.
Buying yourself something feels
good. Whether it’s a new pair of
shoes, the hottest video game or
a good book, we all enjoy getting
something new. And you’ve had a
hard day or got some good news
and want to celebrate. Do it. Just
don’t go overboard. Set aside some
“fun money” in your budget. You’ll
feel good about your purchase, but
you’ll feel even better if you don’t
have to spend the next two years
trying to pay it off with 20-percent
interest.
If you feel you’re getting in over
your head, Syble Solomon, executive
coach and creator of Money
Habitudes, a set of cards that helps
start conversations about money,
has an ingenious idea. Solomon
has an acronym for situations that
make us extra vulnerable: HALT,
which stands for hungry, angry,
lonely and tired. “If you’re feeling
any of those, recognize you’re
prone to poor decision-making,”
she said.
The trick is heading off temptation
at the pass. “Before you head
out the door, ask yourself how
you’re feeling and consciously rate
your vulnerability on a scale of one
to 10,” Solomon said. “When you
know you’re vulnerable, you can
use that opportunity to take more
control.”
If you know you
can’t afford an
activity, don’t
cave in.

‘I Always Was
Lucky’
Willows At Citation
resident looks back
on his long life
by Tanya J. Tyler, Editor
At almost 94 years old, Gerhard
Kindler has a lot of life to reflect on.
“I always was lucky,” said the
German-born Kindler, who immigrated
to the United States in 1960.
His adventure-filled sojourn tested
his luck and ultimately proved his
ability to survive harrowing situations.
Born in Stuttgart on Sept. 20,
1920, Kindler remembers growing
up in the aftermath of World War
I. “It was a miserable time because
Germany had to pay a lot of money
to the guys who won the war,”
he said. “It was a big recession.
Beggars were coming every day,
begging for food.”
Gerhard says he was a late
bloomer. “I was a sleepy guy and I
didn’t listen in school,” he said. But
he later “woke up” and made good
grades. He went to school for eight
years, starting at age 7, and then
learned tool making.
Kindler was a young man when
Adolf Hitler came into power and
things changed in Germany.
“Hitler was a tremendous speaker,”
he said. “Hitler knew if he had
the young people, the older people
would go along. So if you were
young and you had any intention
to do any type of sports, of money
JULY/AUG 2 0 1 4
earning, he made it possible.”
While he worked as a tool maker,
Kindler joined a flying club. The
members built and flew their own
glider.
“Instead of sleeping long like we
really wanted to, we went there on
that mountain,” Kindler said. “We
put our plane together and all day
we went up and down with that
plane.”
These experiences enabled him
to join the German Air Force when
World War II began. He wanted
to be a fighter pilot, but the planes
had a tight cockpit and Kindler’s
legs were too long.
“You have a stick for flying so I
had no room,” he said. “But since I
was a mechanic, they made me an
airplane mechanic and that’s what I
did for almost the whole war.”
During the last part of the war,
he became a foot solider. He went
to Berlin to fight for a losing cause.
“The Allies wanted us to give up
but Hitler did not,” Kindler said.
“The war was already hopelessly
lost but Hitler would not give in.”
To make matters worse, the
German soldiers were not well
equipped.
“My gun was from 1896, and
I got six bullets – and we were
supposed to hold the Russians,”
Kindler said.
Eventually he was taken captive
by the Russians and put in a prison
camp in Poland. He remembers
sleeping on the ground and enduring
a lack of water. The food was
also inadequate. “We called it
kasha,” Kindler said. “Sometimes
you didn’t know what was in there.
If you were lucky you found a little
potato.”
Gerhard and Irmgard “Candy” Kindler have been married for 64 years.
Fortunately, he wasn’t held
prisoner very long – about two
months, he estimated. But returning
home was a challenge. He had
some problems with his leg and no
shoes, so walking was difficult. He
started out with a schoolmate he
met while in prison, but soon he
urged his friend to go on without
him because he didn’t want to hold
him back. He told his friend, “I will
make it somehow.” And he did.
He walked, sticking to wet ditches
where the dampness was easier on
his feet. He rode on top of trains
and sometimes inside. He got a
ride in a truck. Finally he made it
back home after about 10 or 12
days of travel. His friend that he
had sent on ahead arrived home
three weeks later.
Life settled down somewhat
as the war ended. Kindler began
working again. He met a girl named
Irmgard, whom he called Candy.
2 5
She was working for Gerhard’s
mother, helping people find clothing.
“I used to walk every day,”
Kindler said. “This was a must. I
usually walked three miles. [One
day] my mother said, ‘Why don’t
you take Candy along?’” That was
the start of a loving relationship
that has lasted 64 years.
“Candy was strong where I am
weak and that was a good thing,”
Kindler said. “She always has good
ideas. Candy is my angel; she’s my
everything. She is still my good
star.”
Kindler’s brother-in-law helped
the couple come to the United
States. A paperwork glitch landed
them in Georgetown, Ky., instead
of Cleveland, Ohio, as they’d
intended. Kindler worked two jobs,
riding a motor scooter back and

The More Things
Change...
The Bicycle
Popular alternative mode of
transportation has come a long way
by Charles Sebastian, Staff Writer
The bicycle is perhaps one of
the most amazing inventions of
the past 200 years. It has served
as a means of transportation for
millions of people. The idea of
balancing on two wheels has
been taken to the level of longdistance
biking (the Tour de
France), mountain bike racing,
bicycle acrobatics and more.
While the variations on the bike
all have good stories, the origin
of the bicycle is of even greater
interest.
Our two-wheeled friend was
dubbed “bicycle” in France in
the 1860s. There are many early
bike models still to be seen in
museums and collections. The
Draisienne, the ancestor of the
modern bike, was first developed
in Germany around 1817.
A wooden slat placed atop two
bulky wheels pretty much sums
it up. Though there are claims to
bicycle-like inventions prior to
the Draisienne, none are verifiable.
One claim suggests one of
Leonardo da Vinci’s students,
Gian Giacomo Caprotti, came up
with the idea.
After the mid-1800s, the Michaux
bike was popular in Europe,
as was the “velocipede,” aka
“Bone-shaker.” The latter name
says it all. The1870s brought
about the penny-farthing, which
is what most people envision
when they think of old bikes. This
is the one with the huge front
wheel and smaller rear wheel. The
ratio of front to back could be
compared to a penny (larger) and
a farthing (smaller), hence the
name. The front wheels were developed
to increase the bicycle’s
speed, which made the contraption
ideal for law enforcement.
These bikes became immensely
popular in England as well as
America, despite the obvious
dangers. There are many stories
of people going head first over
the front wheel or falling over
sideways and breaking bones.
Today penny-farthings would
probably be outlawed for safety
violations.
The Safety Bicycle was developed
from a desire for fewer
injuries. Up to this time, the
bike’s foot pedals came off the
main wheel and they just moved
that wheel. This was part of the
danger of balancing as well as
stopping. When a drive chain going
from the pedals between the
two wheels and back to the rear
wheel was introduced, a great
moment in bicycle history was
born. Indeed, this same design is
what bikes use today.
Since this addition, bikes have
become more efficient, utilizing
more elaborate gear systems and
developing hand brakes, backward
pedal brakes and sturdier,
lighter frames.
Bikes continue to be a good
means of getting around, and
more and more cities are becoming
cognizant of including bike
lanes on roads and bike paths
for ardent cyclists. Bicycling
gives you a great workout. If you
don’t feel comfortable riding a
bike around town for health, try
stationary cycling. The bicycle
continues to evolve from its
humble beginnings, offering us
options for our travel, health and
adventure.

Travel Clinic Gets You
Ready to Go Abroad
Prepare yourself for your trip with
vaccines, medication
by Abby Malik, Staff Writer
It’s hard to beat the feelings
of exhilaration that come from
traveling abroad. Beautiful places,
unique cuisines, new cultures – it
can be full of wonders. Traveling
abroad also takes a lot of preparation,
and one of the most important
things to consider is taking
care of your health before, during
and after your big trip.
UKHealthCare’s Travel Clinic in
Lexington is a full-service facility
that offers personalized consultations
for people traveling abroad.
Dr. Susan Spengler, a physician at
the clinic, has several important
considerations specifically for
older adults. One of those considerations
is vaccines.
“The actual vaccines recommended
for a trip are specific
to the individual’s itinerary, the
person’s assessed risk of those diseases,
past immunization history
and more,” Spengler said. “These
are all things we assess during a
personalized consultation at our
travel clinic.”
Vaccines also have specific age
ranges, including some that are
not appropriate for seniors, and
not all clinics carry age-relevant
vaccines. In addition, some vaccines
require a series of doses, so
the clinic recommends scheduling
a travel consultation three to six
months before your trip.
Because medication use is
higher among older adults, the
clinic also recommends checking
for potential interactions with
vaccines and travel-specific medications,
such as antibiotics for selftreatment
of traveler’s diarrhea.
Another consideration for older
adults is the potential risks of a
vaccine. Spengler suggests travelers
and doctors have a careful dialogue
and evaluation of a vaccine’s
costs and benefits. With older
adults, there is a higher incidence
of potential serious side effects
with some vaccines.
“A final decision can include
recommending a vaccine, writing a
waiver if the vaccine is required by
the [destination] country but the
risk from the vaccine outweighs
benefits, up to and including
recommending cancellation of the
trip,” Spengler said.
Older adults, who in general
may be in a higher risk category
for major medical occurrences,
should look into evacuation
insurance, especially if they are
planning a trip to a developing
country.
“Figuring out how to arrange
and pay for an evacuation in the
face of medical emergency that
can’t be handled locally can be life
threatening,” Spengler said.
Older adults are at a higher risk
for traveler’s thrombosis – the
development of blood clots in
the legs – which can be brought
on by a combination of inactivity,
dehydration and decreased cabin
pressure during a flight. Ways to
minimize the risk might include
doing small movement activities
during a flight, wearing compression
stockings or taking aspirin or
prescription anti-clotting drugs.
The UK Travel Clinic is located
in the offices of Kentucky Clinic
South, 2400 Greatstone Point. Appointments
are available by calling
(859) 257-5150.
Medication Check List
Here are some recommendations about
traveling from Dr. Susan Spengler, a physician at
UKHealthCare’s Travel Clinic.
• Leave your medication in original bottles. If possible,
pack one full set in your carry-on and one in your checked
bags. You never know when your checked bags will take a
different trip.
• Get a “medical necessity” letter from your doctor if you’re
traveling with a lot of medications, unusual medical
supplies or syringes.
• Carry a list of your medications and their dosages as well
as any allergies you have. Leave a copy of the list with
someone at home.
• Carry an extra pair of prescription glasses or at least a copy
of your prescription.
• When you’re in the sun and heat, stay hydrated and avoid
overheating. Wear light-colored and breathable clothing.
• To help avoid or lessen the chances of contacting traveler’s
diarrhea, eat pasteurized yogurt with live acidophilus
cultures prior to and during trip. Take probiotic capsules
during the trip and carry Pepto-Bismol and Imodium for
mild-to-moderate diarrhea, or bring a doctor-prescribed
antibiotic for severe cases.

Thanks for the
Memories
Senior writers share
stories and life
experiences
by Mary Hackworth
Are you thinking of writing your
memoir but are not sure where to
start? You may want to consider
the Seniors Writing Group, which
meets at the Lexington Senior Citizens
Center most Fridays throughout
the year.
A joint offering of the Carnegie
Center for Literacy and Learning
and the Senior Citizens Center, the
Writing Group offers participants
not only a forum for giving and
receiving feedback on their work
but – just as important – a place of
fellowship with other like-minded
seniors.
Instructor Sarah Combs says
the group is sometimes billed as a
“family stories” class but it is by no
means limited to that. Class members
frequently focus on memoirs,
but they also often experiment
with fiction, poetry and other types
of writing. In addition to life stories,
nature and the passage of time
often appear as themes.
“Their life experiences are so
rich,” Combs said. “Their perspective
on things is a gold mine.”
All levels of writers are welcome
in the class – newcomers and
longtime members, beginners and
experts. The group has been sharing
stories and mutual support for
nearly 20 years, having been led by
former Carnegie Center director
Jan Isenhour before Combs took
over last year. While the group is
open to up to 25 people, Combs
said about 15 members generally
attend, bringing their writing and a
readiness to respond to the work of
their fellow writers.
“The class from the beginning
has been very successful,” said
Isenhour. She says the group’s longevity
has generated trust that frees
its members to explore personal
themes in depth. Since participants
often write about sensitive family
matters – babies given up for adoption
and World War II experiences,
to name a few – trust creates the
openness necessary for exploring
difficult material meaningfully.
The class is structured as a
workshop in the round. Members
may ask for specific advice on the
craft of their writing, and Combs
offers what she calls “prompts”
that members are free to follow
or not. In a recent class, she asked
the group to write about their
memories of the day President
John F. Kennedy was assassinated;
other times, she suggests a word
or two to use as a starting point.
Participants usually have plenty of
their own ideas and often choose to
write about something else entirely.
Isenhour said class members are
also willing to do the hard work of
revising and shaping their material.
“They’ve always been an amazing
group,” she said.
Combs said some people join
the class with the goal of writing
their memoirs for their grandchildren.
Others have simply been
looking for an opportunity to write.
The group is enriched by cross
culturalism; members who grew up
in other parts of the country or for
whom English is a second language
bring their own perspectives into a
lively mix of experiences.
Combs said senior writers have
some advantages when it comes
to self-expression. “They have
allowed themselves a wonderful
sense of freedom,” she said. “Rules
aren’t things they’re worried about.
They’re past worrying about what
other people think of them.”
At its last 2013meeting, the
members assembled their annual
chapbook, Silver Threads, composed
entirely of their own writing.
Combs and Isenhour encourage
any senior interested in writing in
a supportive atmosphere to join
them.
“It’s a place of encouragement,”
Combs said. “It doesn’t carry any
intimidation.”

TRAVEL
How to Take the Perfect
Trip with Your Grandchild
Patience and planning make traveling with
youngsters easier
by Jan Ross, Staff Writer
My 8-year-old grandson is, by
far, my favorite person to travel
with. He’s easy to please as long
as some of our meals include
a milkshake from Chick-fil-A
or some fried shrimp. He can
travel for hours in the car without
complaint as long as he has some
form of electronic entertainment
or some books. He allows me to
kiss and cuddle him to my heart’s
content, although just recently
these displays of affection have to
be done only when none of his
friends are around. And he is the
only one who truly appreciates the
time spent to create a sand castle
complete with shell decorations
and an elaborate moat.
Traveling with grandchildren
can be a complete joy, providing
memories for years to come.
These trips just require a little patience
and a lot of planning. Here’s
how to undertake the perfect trip
with your grandchild.
• Involve the child’s parents.
Even if the trip is just you and
your grandchild, the parents
will still want to be involved
from the beginning in planning.
Make sure the dates
you are thinking about will
work for them. Ask them for
suggestions about things such
as bedtime rituals and special
toys the child might need, and
check to see if there are certain
foods, etc. the parents don’t
want the child to have.
• Plan a trip that everyone will
enjoy. The things you like
might not necessarily be the
things your grandchild will
want to do. Some kids may
absolutely adore art museums
and historic cathedrals, while
others will be rolling their
eyes and begging to head to
the local waterpark. Talk to
the children about where they
would like to go and what they
would like to do. They may
not always have any idea about
what they would like to do, so
be imaginative.
• Keep boredom at bay. When
kids are bored, they get whiny,
and when the kids are whiny,
the adults are not happy. If
you know you’re going to be in
the car for hours, have plenty
of games, movies, books, art
supplies and whatever else you
need to keep the children content.
Buy a few little surprises
that you can take out when
boredom inevitably happens.
• Keep everyone fed. Nobody is
happy when they are hungry,
and young kids may not even
know why they are so unhappy
and irritable. Keep healthy
snacks available and plan
regular meal (and bathroom)
breaks.
• Stay in touch. Even if your
grandchild and you are very
close, they still might miss
their parents. This is the time
when you buy ice cream! Just
kidding – this is the time to let
them call home or even do a
video chat with their parents.
Don’t let time slip away without
spending some special travel time
with your grandchild. Before you
know it, they will be old enough
that traveling with you is just not
cool anymore. Plan a trip now!
Don’t let time slip away
without spending some
special travel time with your
grandchild.

How to Keep Aging Hair
Healthy
“Mature hair” needs extra care
by Jean Jeffers, Staff Writer
As we age, so does our hair.
Have you ever wondered how to
care for your “mature” hair?
“Mature hair is not a lot
different to care for than other
hair,” said Judy McQueen, hairstylist
with Kenwood Dillard
Salon and Spa in Cincinnati. “It
tends to be a little dryer, and
using a moisturizing shampoo
and conditioner will counteract
that.”
It is helpful, McQueen added,
if you can use an exfoliating
shampoo occasionally. Exfoliating
shampoos are a recent
development in hair care. They
remove dead skin cells that may
clog pores in the scalp. They
also condition the hair.
Here are some tips to protect
aging hair:
• Be careful when using hot
tools on your hair. When
drying, use a warm setting,
not the hot setting.
• Use a gentle shampoo and
shampoo less often.
• Avoid ponytails, tight buns
and braids or rollers.
• Get a good haircut. Go to
a stylist who knows how to
work with mature hair.
• Choose the right color.
Gray hair is often hard
to color. Be careful when
applying chemicals to the
hair, especially when adding
color at home.
• Cover your hair when you
go out in the sun.
• Get a trim regularly.
• Use conditioners to add
moisture.
• Eat well, get enough
exercise and get plenty of
rest. This is an ideal way to
promote healthy hair.
McQueen said nutrients in
the diet can aid hair. Vitamins
A, C and E, as well as zinc and
selenium, are often promoted.
She said there are different
reasons for hair loss. “You can’t
stop it but you can help it,” she
said. “This is where exfoliating
shampoos come in. If you
are on medications, there is
nothing else you can do. If [hair
loss] is the result of a bad perm,
you have a little recourse. You
can do something about your
hair to get it back in shape.”
Thinning hair is another
problem, McQueen said.
“There are products practically
every manufacturer makes to
thicken hair,” she said. “But it
doesn’t thicken the hair, it just
makes the hair look thicker.”
Eat well, get
enough exercise
and get plenty
of rest. This is
the best way to
promote healthy
hair.
