from the editor

Move Over 2020!

Let 2021 Begin!

I

t’s the time of the year when I wish all our clients and readers a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year. I know I can speak for everyone when I say that following one of the most eventful years in living memory, many people will be glad to see the back of 2020!

It has been a long and difficult year punctuated by lockdowns, quarantines and for many, a lot of time spent at home. Everyone I know has a friend or relative who has been affected by the pandemic. Some became ill and some had to close their businesses; others became teachers to their children and worked from home at the same time. Many have lost jobs, and experienced financial hardships. Most of us have not seen loved ones for months and have found ourselves isolated, and perhaps a little sad.

But I am fundamentally an optimist and I strive to find positive things about 2020. I did a lot of organizing and cleaning back in the Spring. I’ve mastered Zoom calls, virtual doctors’ visits and Slack chat threads. I’ve set up an exercise area in my home and I grew a lot of vegetables in my garden this summer. I learned to be happy with my natural hair color! I mailed a lot of handmade masks to friends and family, and even folks I haven’t seen in years. I reached out to my older, single friends and took them to the grocery store. I volunteer at a local food bank, and the farmer's market. I organized a socially distanced Easter Egg hunt for the neighborhood kids and Fire Pit Fridays for the adult neighbors. But it’s still been hard.

This holiday season, perhaps our greatest challenge is to be kinder to ourselves and others. It’s been a tough year and now is the time to remember the reason for the season. Wear that mask when you go out, use hand sanitizer when you get back in the car. Say a prayer for those who have lost loved ones to the pandemic and who have family members sick or in the hospital. Cut yourself and your family a little slack when it comes to grades, housework and creative meals. Leave some food at the door of your neighbor who is out of work. Order take-out from local restaurants when you can and shop online from all our local businesses. We can get through this and the end is in sight with new vaccines.

on the cover

Here’s some things I’m looking forward to in 2021 – To getting dressed up and having somewhere to go! To high-fives, handshakes and hugs with friends, family, coworkers, and neighbors. I want to see all the smiling faces that have been hidden behind masks. I love to travel and I can’t wait to be able to visit my sister in England. It’s going to be great to browse the stores for fun, not just shop for necessities.

The staff at Purchase Area Family Magazine has been amazing this year.

Despite everything we only had to cancel two editions of the magazine.

We wish you all, in whatever way you can manage it, a very Merry Christmas. We thank you for your support and look forward to our 16th year of publishing in 2021.

The resort is definitely the place to be this holiday season for good food and great holiday lights. You can walk through the lights through the first weekend of February 2021.

Discovery Park of America in Union City Let It Glow Light Show

Another spot where you will definitely get in the Christmas spirit is Discovery Park of America in Union City. This spacious museum and heritage park is a great family experience anytime of the year, but during the holidays, it turns into a magical place once the sun sets. The Let It Glow light show is a great way to see over one million lights synced to popular Christmas tunes. It is open seven nights a week, 5-9pm, through December 30. This drive-through experience is a great social-distancing activity since guests stay in their car the entire time.

Purchase tickets online or at the gate for $10.

Be sure to grab some 3D glasses to enhance your experience, as well as a North Pole Milk and Cookie Kit for the drive. This holiday event is sponsored by McDonald’s. (Closed Christmas Eve and Christmas Day.)

'Twas the Night Before Christmas

If you are in the area on Tuesday, December 22, 1-4pm check out ‘Twas the Night Before Christmas at Discovery Park – the newest holiday event that you can enjoy without leaving your car. Guests drive through the park, stopping along the way to enjoy a series of live performances as they read the story aloud. Inspired by the well-known Christmas poem A Visit from St. Nicholas by Clement Clarke Moore, the experience was created to inspire a love of reading in a fun way while providing an excellent beginning to Christmas celebrations. Tickets are $10 per car and can be purchased at the gate.

AgriCulture: Innovating for Our Survival Discovery Park of America

New Year - New Experiences!

As 2021 dawns, don’t forget that Obion County has some incredible experiences to offer visitors year-round, and these unique places are some of the best kept secrets in Tennessee. They’re just a hop, skip and jump from western Kentucky!

Discovery Park’s new $1 million exhibit is now open in the Simmons Bank Ag Center. AgriCulture: Innovating for Our Survival is billed as a “mind-blowing, myth-busting farming exhibit that will change the world,” and it doesn’t disappoint. The new exhibit tells the story of farming innovation in the past, present, and especially future.

As guests explore this high-tech adventure, they experience how food, fuel and fiber get from the farm to our family table. It’s an important opportunity for families of all ages to learn about the latest innovations in the field of international agriculture today.

Faces of Farming

The mission of the museum and heritage park is to inspire children and adults to see beyond. The agriculture exhibit will no doubt inspire visitors to think about the science and practice of farming in a whole new way. Suitable for all ages, the exhibit features a Faces of Farming section with more than 250 portraits. There is also a social media wall showing real-time photos and videos farmers are sharing online. Several hands-on elements include a state-of-the art tractor from H&R Agri-Power located next to a turn-of-the-20thcentury tractor. Guests can marvel at how technology has changed and compare the two.

Much of the exhibit was designed with STEM-based learning in mind, and a section on jobs in agriculture will inform young visitors about opportunities they may want to consider when choosing a career. The Nutrien Ag Solutions stage features advanced audio visual technology and is designed an educational space for school groups and special programs.

Watch the Eagles Soar

Reelfoot Lake Eagle Festival

Reelfoot Lake is home to dozens of majestic Bald Eagles during the winter months, and guests can have the chance to see some during the Reelfoot Lake Eagle Festival February 5-7, 2021.

Each day during this special weekend, there are great family activities, boat rides and up-close encounters with these birds of prey. (All programs have set times to assist with social distancing.)

Final Flight Outfitters

Outdoor Apparel and Supplies

Final Flight Outfitters is family-owned and operated by the Powers family. Brothers Jon Ed, Tripp and Kelley Powers started the business in 1998 out of a storage trailer, and now run the 25,000-square-foot showroom, selling everything from decoys, hunting accessories, firearms and ammunition to casual apparel, footwear and more. Brands you can shop at Final Flight Outfitters include Yeti, Drake, Browning, Columbia and Patagonia. You can also shop branded items online or in store. The staff will make sure you have everything you need for your next outdoor adventure.

White Squirrel Winery

White Squirrel Winery is located in Kenton. Although this winery has been around since 2014, the charming vineyard tucked between corn fields is a hidden gem of Obion County. White Squirrel Winery is open on the weekends for a wine tasting and tour of the 90-acre property. And yes, it is named after the white squirrel that is found in Kenton. In fact, Kenton has one of the largest concentrations of white squirrels in North America, so it is fitting that the vineyard is named after these unique creatures.

Another fun fact about White Squirrel Winery is that it supplies grapes to the popular Arrington Vineyards in Nashville. The fertile northwest Tennessee soil, mild winters and hot summers produce grapes with delicious flavors and deep, rich colors. So, the next time you are sipping on a sweet wine from Arrington Vineyards, think of White Squirrel Winery in west Tennessee!

Safe Travel

Obion County offers a plethora of outdoor activities with families in mind. All attractions, restaurants, hotels and outdoor spaces are following the health and safety guidelines that ensure you and your family can experience these hidden gems safely. The Obion County Chamber of Commerce has distributed face coverings to all local shops to pass out to visitors who make the trip to visit. Whether you are coming before, during or after the holiday season, we encourage you to travel safe, wear a mask and social distance where you can.

Lighting Up Christmas Cheer

by Cassie Johnson

I

f you’re anything like my husband, you love Christmas but hate the task of putting up Christmas lights. Stop wrestling those extension cords and enjoy the light displays in western Kentucky instead. If you want to brighten your holiday spirit without having to “personally check every bulb” (Christmas Vacation fans will understand), take a drive with your family for safe, social distance, Christmas fun.

Mike Miller Park

Located in Draffenville just off Highway 68, Mike Miller Park is home to the annual Christmas in the Park light show. Presented by Jackson Purchase Energy Corporation and Marshall County Parks, this free drive-thru light display is open each night from 5-10pm, through Wednesday, December 30.

Don’t let the Grinch steal the holiday fun! Be sure to try and Spot the Grinch hidden in the park as you drive through. Post a picture to social media using #TheGrinchatMikeMiller to be entered to win prizes on weekly Friday prize drawings.

There is no cost to enjoy the lights, however monetary and/or canned good donations to benefit local nonprofit organizations are encouraged. This year, donations will go to Marshall County Exceptional Center, Marcella’s Kitchen, Marshall County Caring Needline, Special Olympics of Marshall County, Marshall County Rescue Squad, Hope Clinic, VFW Post 1084, Veterans Support Group, and Cub Scout/Boy Scout Troop 2484.

Grand Rivers

A must see to believe, The Festival of Lights kicks off the holiday season in Grand Rivers. ‘Oooh’ and ‘aaaah’ at over 1.5 million lights around the Patti’s 1880 Settlement, streets of Grand Rivers, Little Lake Park, and the storefronts of the Village Between the Lakes. Visitors can walk around the area, free of charge, nightly from 4-10pm. Due to COVID, please remember to be a socially distanced spectator.

This is a self-paced night of fun, and does not require any donations.

providing assistance to these families have also taken massive losses in the pandemic. Local food pantries and organizations depend on these donations to help those who need it most. On your next pickup order, add a few extra canned goods to your cart to help those in need. Donate a few dollars or non-perishable food items as you drive through the twinkle and sparkle of your community. Make these light displays a tradition for your family for years to come!

Central Park in Murray

Enjoy the most wonderful time of the year by heading to Murray.

Between now and January 2, Central Park will be lit up nightly from 5-10pm courtesy of the Murray Bank Festival of Lights. While not required, visitors are encouraged to bring five canned goods as admission for each vehicle. These will be donated to the Murray Calloway Need Line and Soup for the Soul. Use #TMBFestivalOfLight #ChristmasInCentral #ThatsMyBank on social media.

Noble Park in Paducah

Christmas in the Park, presented by Paducah Power System, is in full swing through December 31. The display is open 6-9pm, Sunday through Thursday, and 6-10pm on Fridays and Saturdays. Canned goods and monetary donations will benefit West Kentucky Allied Services, Paducah Cooperative Ministries, Family Service Society, Salvation Army, and St. Vincent De Paul. New this year, you can also donate online. Go to paducahpower.com and click on the Donation tab.

To really get you into the Christmas spirit, tune in to 94.7 on the radio and enjoy Christmas music while you coast through the park. COVID permitting, Santa will make one more appearance at Noble Park.

s winter approaches and more time is spent indoors, take time to make the necessary accommodations for yourself or a loved one for a healthy and happy season.

Facing up to Fall Prevention

Each year, one out of four people age 65 and older experience a fall, and around three million receive emergency care for fall-related injuries, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

12

DECEMBER 2020 - JANUARY 2021

To reduce your risk for falls this winter, check that every room is well lit, and make any interior and exterior lighting replacements where needed. Keep floors and walkways clear of unnecessary items, and make sure all pathways are clear enough to move freely without fear of tripping or stumbling. Create an accessible environment for easyto-reach necessities. Check for icy patches on patios, driveways and porches before venturing out.

Staying Active for Body & Mind

Did you know that daily exercise could help reduce your risk for falls and fight against the winter blues? In fact, being inactive is one of the major risk factors of falls in older adults, according to the CDC. Don’t let fear of injury keep you from engaging in a daily exercise routine.

With your physician’s approval, consider trying these activities: •

Flowing and stretching exercises, such as Tai Chi and yoga, are known to help restore balance, reduce stress and improve joint flexibility.

•

Mild strength-training - with and without weights - can help strengthen your muscles, joints and bones, making it less likely that you will fall or become injured from a fall.

•

Walking is one of the easiest exercises you can do and it comes with many benefits, including improved balance, strength, endurance and boosted mood.

Making Spirits Bright

Spending time with family, even virtually, can give you opportunities to talk about your issues with someone. Talk therapy can help you through what seems to be the season’s challenging periods. Finding new activities and hobbies to enjoy in your own home can be an enriching experience. Activities such as baking, scrapbooking, playing music, sewing, painting and bird watching are inexpensive and interactive activities appropriate for any skill level.

Keeping a journal is another good way to keep track of depression symptoms and signs of unmanaged stress. A daily log of your moods can be helpful to a primary care provider who can create a personalized plan to help restore your joy. At this time of the year, peace of mind is the best gift to give oneself.

This winter may look different from winters past, but finding joy and taking care of your well-being should still remain a priority.

A Whitehaven Christmas 2020

H

istorical Whitehaven Welcome Center in Paducah is well known for being decked out for the holidays! Usually there’s an open house with a tour, Santa visits and there’s fun for the whole family. But this year we have a pandemic. This year the Center will be decorated in Christmas finery for the holidays, but only the exterior of the home.

"The holiday season gives us a chance to show off this wonderful, historic building to those who live here," said Harshman. “We have many visitors who stop on their way through Paducah each year and enjoy this fantastic old mansion. We hope area residents will come out at the holiday season and see Whitehaven at its finest – even if this year, it’s from the outside.”

The community can still enjoy the outside of the home thanks to the Department of Transportation and the Conservation Stewardship Program. This will allow family enjoyment and social distancing!

Whitehaven’s Welcome Center is open Monday-Saturday from 8am-4:30pm. The lobby is open 24 hours. Visit kentuckytourism. com/whitehaven-welcome-center or, call 270.554.2077 for more information.

Gina Harshman, travel and tourism supervisor at the welcome center said more than 400 people attended last year's open house and attendance seemed to be increasing each year.

once destined to be destroyed, but was saved by the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet. The transportation cabinet saw a vision for this grand old home and restored it to an award winning welcome center.

Whitehaven possesses great architectural and historical significance.

The main portion of the house, which was a two-story brick structure, built in the 1860s by Edward L. Anderson, a tobacco farmer and dealer. The residence remained in the Anderson’s family until 1903.

It was then sold to Ed L. Atkins, who was a cashier for the American German Bank in downtown Paducah. According to the McCracken Co. deed records, the property was conveyed to Mr. Atkins by Norton B. Anderson on April 7, 1903 for the sum of $4,000. In 1908 James P. Smith, mayor of Paducah purchased the home. The Smith Family lived here until 1968. The house went through approximately 20 years of no real upkeep, Mother Nature and was heavily vandalized until 1981 when the State of Kentucky bought it and restored the home. It opened in 1983 as the only welcome center in the United States that sits inside a private residence.

In March of 1984, Whitehaven was placed on the National Register of Historic Places in the United States. That same year, a local group known as Paducah’s Growth Inc. purchased a collection of former Vice President Alben “Veep” Barkley’s memorabilia at an auction of the Barkley estate. Barkley was our 35th Vice President of the United States and a native of Lowes. The items decorate the inside of the mansion and can be seen once guided tours resume.

Seasonal Depression, Suicide, & COVID

by Cassie Johnson

W

hile not an easy topic to discuss, suicide is an all too common outcome of severe depression. Before the COVID pandemic, suicide was the tenth leading cause of death in the United States. Over 600 Kentucky lives are lost each year to suicide, averaging one suicidal death every 12 hours. Sadly, it is the second leading cause of death in our Commonwealth in ages 15-34 years old. Just like COVID-19, depression and suicide cases are on the rise.

“Unfortunately, new studies show exactly what we feared, which is an increase in mental health crisis during the pandemic,” said Cynthia Turner, Certified Prevention Specialist with Four Rivers Regional Prevention Center. “One positive factor is that more people are open to talking about their mental health.”

Depression or the Blues?

Everyone experiences times of sadness, loneliness, or isolation.

Typically, within a matter of days or even weeks, these feelings subside. Depression is characterized by longer, deeper feelings of lost hope or unhappiness. Other symptoms of depression may include fatigue, crying frequently, difficulty concentrating, and feelings of worthlessness. If you experience any of these feelings and they don’t improve within a couple of weeks, seeking professional help may be the next step. For a full list of symptoms visit helpguide.org.

Remember the late Robin Williams? On the outside, he appeared to be full of joy, always laughing and enjoying life. On the inside, he was haunted by dark depression. Outward appearances can be deceiving, and mental health conditions should always be taken seriously.

Depression is often triggered by a sudden event such as divorce, loss of a job or home, a serious illness, or financial concerns. Unfortunately during this pandemic, many more of our neighbors are dealing with situations such as these.

Just because an individual experiences depression or anxiety does not mean they automatically have suicidal thoughts, nor does it mean they have substance abuse issues. However it is important to note that substance abuse and depression often go hand in hand.

Please remember that using substances such as drugs or alcohol can increase the risk of suicide in someone who has already experienced suicidal thoughts.

Let’s Talk About It

“Most people think that asking someone about suicide puts the thought in their head,” said Turner. “This is not true! A person is either thinking about suicide or they are not. Asking directly about suicide may open that conversation window and reduce their anxiety. This in turn could lead to them talking to you about how they feel and what their issues are.”

Often, those experiencing depression need a caring friend to listen.

It’s a basic human need to know we are loved, accepted, needed, and important. If you have a friend who has mentioned suicide, it’s time to speak up. Remember, there is no shame in asking for help!

“If you know someone who has experienced suicidal thoughts and they suddenly are happy again, this is a sign to watch their behavior even more closely,” said Turner. Unfortunately, encouraging signs in

their mental health status could mean they are at peace with the decision they have made to die by suicide.

FREE, Virtual Suicide Prevention Training

The Four Rivers Regional Prevention Center offers an evidence-based suicide prevention training called QPR (Question, Persuade, and Refer). This is a free, one-hour virtual training that teaches individuals how to ask the right questions, encourage that individual to get help, and refer them to the right professional. Individuals will also learn warning signs, clues, and suicide terminology.

Four Rivers Behavioral Health has their own crisis line and is contracted with the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline.

Anyone within the 270 area code will automatically be directed to the crisis center in Mayfield. Local resources can be given to assist them immediately.

If you are calling on behalf of someone who is having suicidal thoughts or ideas, The National Suicide Prevention Lifeline is available. The lifeline responder will talk the individual through the steps of helping that person. Teens or someone who doesn’t feel comfortable speaking on the phone can text the crisis line at 741741.

Suicide is the most preventable form of death. When detected early and the correct help is given, lives can be saved!

Don’t be afraid to speak up, if you or someone you know experiences suicidal thoughts or ideas, please ask for help now.

The holiday season and winter in particular can be a dark season, especially for those already in crisis with their mental health. If you see a friend or family member in trouble please share these resources or ask if they need to talk. You can save a life by being a friend.

It’s Not Your Normal Holiday

by Britt Allgood

2020

Enough said! It has been a crazy year and it may get even harder. Everybody is feeling the stress. The desire to get back to a normal life, and to see family and friends. Well, for everybody’s health and wellbeing, we need to celebrate - but not with a big group of family and friends

The main course is the hardest of all. No matter how you try, turkey for two is going to generate some left overs. We had an eleven and a half pound turkey and have enough meat left for at least three more meals. I like to get creative with the extra and make soup, pot pies, tetrazzini or enchiladas. Oh, and there is always a Kentucky hot brown.

Just days ago, my wife and I celebrated our first Thanksgiving without any guests. I cooked a Thanksgiving dinner for the two of us - talk about a challenge and a bit of a balancing act. You want some of your favorite holiday dishes like Turkey, Stuffing, the (I know some of you will groan at this one) green bean casserole, homemade rolls, and the ever tempting pumpkin pie. How do you do this without eating leftovers until Christmas? Scale it down or share it.

Share It

Scale It Down

Scaling down recipes isn’t hard. Yes, this is where your basic math skills come back to haunt you as fractions or percentages. I can see some of you closing the magazine right now - but it isn’t that bad people! Two important things to remember are how many teaspoons are in a tablespoon. The answer is three. The other is how do you get half an egg? First you beat it, then you split what’s left.

When scaling down a recipe, remember to divide the number you are cooking for by the recommended serving size and you will know how far to scale down the recipe - unless you want to eat green bean casserole every day for a week. If you are cooking for three and the recommended serving size is four, go ahead and make the entire dish and give someone a big helping. But if you are cooking for three and the recommended serving size is eight, the easiest thing to do is cut recipe in half. Better a little extra food than not enough.

18

DECEMBER 2020 - JANUARY 2021

My neighbors and I have been kicking around the idea of a socially distant pot luck for Christmas. The idea is that you split up the work, divide up your dish and leave it on your neighbor’s porch at a designated time. One family does the turkey, one stuffing, one vegetables - well you get the idea. It works and you get a bit more variety. Just make sure that you follow some simple food safety protocols like wearing gloves and a mask during preparation and for delivery.

I’ve always baked around the holidays as many of my long time readers know. This year won’t be any different, but I will be taking all the necessary precautions before leaving little boxes of holiday cheer for my friends and neighbors.

For this issue of PAFM I’m going to share a few recipes with you already scaled down. Most will serve four depending on how big you like your slice of pie. Oh, the cookie recipes shouldn’t be scaled down. Share the extras with those you love.

Happy holidays from our iCook family. Live, Laugh, Love, and Eat well to you all.

BA’s Best Green Bean Casserole Courtesy of Bon Appetit Serves 4 to 5 1 pound fresh green beans, ends trimmed Kosher salt 1 TBSP olive oil divided 1/2 pound cremini (or baby bella) mushrooms, sliced, divided 3 TBSP unsalted butter, divided 2 Large sprigs thyme, fresh 1 TBSP all-purpose flour 2/3 cup whole milk 1/2 cup heavy cream 2 cloves garlic, finely grated (or substitute 3 TBSP minced garlic) 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese Freshly ground black pepper 1/3 to 1/2 cup French-fried Onions (store bought) if you like a lot of them Working in small batches, blanch the green beans in a large pot of boiling water for about 3 to 4 minutes.

Remove from boiling water with slotted spoon and transfer to a baking sheet to let cool. Repeat until all the beans have been processed. NOTE: If you use an ice bath to quench the beans, you may want to increase initial baking time by 10 to 15 minutes as beans may be a little undercooked. Preheat the oven to 375°F. Heat a large skillet over medium high heat. Add 1/2 TBSP oil to the skillet. Cook half of the mushrooms without stirring until they are brown on one side, about 2 minutes. Toss and continue to cook, tossing occasionally, until browned on both sides, about 3 more minutes. Add 1 TBSP butter to the pan with 1 sprig of the thyme. Continue to cook, tossing occasionally until butter browns and the mushrooms are dark brown and

very tender, about 4 more minutes. Season with salt and transfer to a plate. Repeat with the remaining oil, mushrooms, butter, thyme, and salt. Set aside.

In the large saucepan, melt the remaining 1 TBSP of butter over medium low heat. Whisk in the flour and cook, whisking occasionally, until the roux is golden brown and smells mildly nutty, about 4 to 5 minutes. Whisk in the milk and cream. Increase the heat and bring to a simmer, whisking often until the béchamel sauce is thick and bubbling, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat and whisk in the garlic, Parmesan cheese, and season with salt and freshly ground black pepper.

Arrange the green beans and mushrooms in a 1-quart baking dish.

Pour sauce over the vegetables (it doesn’t look like enough, but it is).

Cover tightly with foil and bake until sauce is bubbling, about 25 to 30 minutes. Uncover and continue to bake until casserole is lightly browned around the edges, 15 to 20 more minutes. Top with the onions and bake for another 3 to 5 minutes or until the onions start to brown and become fragrant. Let casserole sit for about 10 minutes before serving.

Tips for Preventing Cold Weather Injuries

by Brad Hutchins, MPAS, PA-C Physician Asst., to Dr. Romine, OIWK Sports Medicine Center

W

ith the advent of fall and winter comes plenty of cold weather sports and activities in western Kentucky. Whether you are hunting, hiking, riding an ATV, or simply hanging holiday decorations, it’s important to remember that an ounce of prevention can help avoid the pain of injuries later.

Strength & Endurance

Trying new activities for the first time is always fun, but if you’re not prepared or conditioned, things can go wrong. No one wants to spend the holidays laid up after something like an ACL reconstruction or rotator cuff repair! Proper conditioning can help reduce injuries when starting any sport. Endurance and strength training both build muscles around joints and bones, as well as preventing injuries from happening. Recovery from workouts will also be quicker.

Fueling Up

with a solid breakfast is a great way to start. Carbohydrate and protein rich foods are ideal; eggs, oatmeal, bananas, and yogurt are all excellent choices. A cup of coffee or black tea will provide a caffeine boost and enhance metabolism as well. Replenish fluids during and after extended physical activity. Don’t wait for thirst. Make it a point to consume the right amount of water appropriate for your activity.

Dressing for the weather is essential for safe winter fun. Layer clothing to allow easy adjustments to changing conditions. A wicking base layer helps keeps the skin free of moisture; avoid cotton. A fleece middle layer and wind resistant outer layer are also smart. Layers can always be shed as necessary. A considerable amount of heat, up to 50%, escapes from your head so be sure to keep it covered too.

Safety First

Staying warm is important for both comfort and safety. Fueling up

When heading out to go hiking, ATV riding, or hunting always be sure to tell a friend or family member where you are going and when to expect you back. Check in when you arrive safely back home.

Whether you are using a ladder to hang Christmas lights or to get into your deer stand, keep safety in mind. Always maintain a threepoint contact (two hands and a foot, or two feet and a hand) when climbing, and only place ladders on stable surfaces. Have a spotter in case anything goes wrong. Finally, be aware of the maximum load rating of the ladder and be careful not to exceed it.

Thankfully, the majority of cold weather injuries are simple bruises, sprains, and strains. These can usually be treated at home with rest, ice, compression and over the counter medications for comfort.

However, if pain is severe or lasts too long, it may indicate a more serious problem that needs a higher level of care. When this happens, consider contacting The Orthopaedic Institute of Western Kentucky.

For convenience, same day appointments are available and walk-in patients are also accepted.

Enjoy all the outdoor fun that winter brings. Stay safe out there!

Shop Small, Shop Local!

hether grocery pick-up, curbside service, or retail therapy one thing is certain: We did a TON of online shopping in 2020! Pull it up on your phone, add to cart or buy now, and done.

New shoulder rests, colored bows, and music stands are a musthave for any musician. Gift certificates are available for the many items in the store.

Shop Local & Make a Difference

The experience of shopping in a locally owned store is quite different than a big box store. You will be greeted with a friendly welcome, sometimes by the owner themselves. No pacing around a store searching for an associate – you will receive more personal attention (social distance style, of course) to find the gifts you’re looking for. You will feel a sense of appreciation knowing the business owner is truly grateful for each sale.

Online shopping statistics have soared to an increase of over 43.3%.

Meanwhile, local businesses are trying to stay afloat. It’s important to remember when you support local businesses, you’re making a difference in our local economy and community. You are helping a parent pay for dance lessons, a restaurant owner fulfill their lifelong dream, and supporting a working family who may be struggling to make ends meet and keep their business open.

As we bid 2020 farewell with a huge sigh of relief, remember to visit your hardworking small businesses for your shopping needs.

Make sure to check the social media pages or websites as COVID 19 sometimes causes last minute changes in hours. Purchase Area Family Magazine is also a small, locally owned business. We are so grateful to each of our advertisers and readers for your continued support this year. Merry Christmas and happy shopping!

Self-Care and Emotional Wellness

A Mental Wellness Campaign from United Way

T

he United Way of Paducah-McCracken County, along with several partners, begins a social media mental health awareness campaign this December. The information initiative is designed to empower community members to stay in-tune and attentive to self-care and emotional wellness especially in light of the stress created during the pandemic.

Newly Launched Social Media Campaign

The effort comes from the United Way’s newly formed Community Impact/COVID-19 Response Committee, which is charged with addressing community-level challenges in the face of the pandemic.

“We find one of the components preventing people from seeking support is just not knowing who to call and we wanted to check that box,” said Anne Bidwell, United Way Community Impact Manger.

“When we started meeting, the focus was all about identifying needed support,” explained Catherine Sivills, United Way Board Member and CI/COVID-19 Response Committee Chair. “The United Way wanted to make sure the community stayed connected in such a way that certain needs didn’t slip through the cracks.”

In addition to the resource list, committee members compiled about 30 days of content, including videos highlighting quick meditation practices, testimonials, and yoga.

The committee quickly realized one of the top concerns in our community is mental health education and support. The newly launched social media campaign is designed to promote mental health practices and resources, while normalizing accessing those services and tools.

“This type of campaign is meant to be organically shared by all of our partners and neighbors as daily reminders we all need support,

DECEMBER 2020 - JANUARY 2021 27

The United Way staff trained city employees to handle the calls using its newly updated quick reference, community resource guide.

United Way staff also delivered stacks of guides to emergency service workers, government offices, the library and non-profit organizations.

Handfuls of guides were also left in free, mini-food pantries. Guides are available by calling the United Way office. A digital copy can be found at unitedwaypaducah.org/2020ResourceGuide.

Addressing Hunger in Our Community now more than ever.” said Sivills. “It’s not a sign of weakness to ask for help. Many are struggling and it’s important we recognize the signs of mental illness.”

The mental health awareness campaign content is available upon request by calling 270.442.1691 or emailing anne@unitedwaypaducah. org. You can follow the social media campaign @UWPaducah on Facebook. If you are struggling right now, do not wait. Contact the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline at 800.273.8255.

Serving the Community in a Pandemic

The campaign to address the community’s emotional wellness is only the latest in a series of collaborative partnerships in response to the pandemic. One of the first system-level changes the United Way had to face was handling the volume of calls when COVID-19 began to affect Paducah-McCracken County in March. The City of Paducah allocated several employees to assist in a community-wide helpline.

Those who needed help could call for resources; those who wanted to volunteer could reach out for direction.

When food became scarce at grocery stores and pantries, the United Way worked with Family Service Society, Paducah Cooperative Ministry, the Salvation Army and the City of Paducah to convert pickup service to contactless delivery instead. The city allowed Public Works drivers to take food boxes to individuals and families in need daily at lunch for about two months.

In the beginning of the pandemic, the United Way checked in weekly to provide support for its 15 local partner agencies and other nonprofits. As the COVID-19 crisis stabilized a bit over the summer, that contact support became bi-weekly. Currently, partner agency directors meet with the United Way Chief Executive Officer monthly to share needs and determine whether any gaps in community service exist.

The United Way has a close partnership with the business and industry community, so staff also reached out to companies to evaluate their employees’ needs and provide resource referral.

Text to Give Line

As more and more of our neighbors began to feel the direct impact of furloughs, lay-offs and terminations, the United Way established a text to give line – the start of a COVID-19 Response Fund. Through that fund, community donors raised $68,500 which the United Way passed along to people in the form of Necessities Grants or $250 or $500 Visa gift cards depending on the families’ size. The remaining balance of the COVID-19 Response Fund will be given to a partner agency to augment rental assistance in the wake of the current wave of employee impact.

Consider a Donation – Round It Up!

Giving is always possible! Beyond COVID-19, there will still be a need. A United Way donation serves the community by improving conditions in education, income and health. You can choose to give a one-time gift or an on-going donation at unitedwaypaducah.org/ donation. The newly launched Round Up feature links to a payment card of your choice. When you swipe at the register, your total will be rounded up to the whole dollar. The additional change will be funneled to support the Paducah-McCracken County community.

If there is anything good to come from the challenges we’ve seen in 2020, it’s our local community #LivesUnited in any circumstance. We are grateful!
