I

’m writing this on my way to Nashville. No, I am not driving and writing, I am comfortably ensconced in the passenger seat while by lovely husband drives us to a show at the Mercy Lounge. I’m a huge fan of jazz, blues and cabaret, and tonight we’re seeing Post Modern Jukebox - you’ll find a lot of their music and videos on Youtube.

Tonight is officially ‘date night’. There will be dinner, music, dancing and probably a cocktail or two! I firmly believe that one of the best ways to strengthen a relationship or marriage is to make time for just you and your partner. Even if it’s only once or twice a month, find the time to put away the phones, tablets and computers and talk.

Date night for my husband and I can be a quiet meal on our deck at home, or a movie, or a walk with the dogs. And, sometimes, its a late night out of town, that requires an ‘updo’ and red nail polish… that results in very sore feet the next day!

With Fathers Day approaching this month, its a great time to plan a special day or date for ‘dad’. If you’re going to get out, check out the many great new restaurants in the area. Or, take dad to one of our new breweries in Paducah. Looking for something for the whole family to participate in or that’s free? Visit our sister website iListwesternkentucky.com and search the huge regional calendar.

PAFM wants to wish dad’s (and everyone who takes on the role of dad or grandpa) a very happy Father’s Day. Every child has a father but not every child grows up with one. Some need a special man to fulfill that role in their lives…someone to be a mentor, role model and confidant. Dad’s are vitally important to children everywhere and we salute you!

We’ve got a great magazine this June. It’s full of fun, upcoming events, great ideas, and information about local businesses and organizations. PAFM is committed to promoting western Kentucky and southern Illinois. It’s a great place to live and we strive to shine a positive spotlight on the people who help to make it that way.

n our cover this month (left to right) are Reagan Easter, Stetson Coursey, Emily Swinford and Makella Tate. These stars of tomorrow are students of The Rhythm Factory, School of Performing Arts, and are representing next year’s theme for the school, “An Ode to the Silver Screen.”

The Rhythm Factory (TRF) was founded in September 2011 by Tiffany Okerson and is located in Paducah. It is one of the regions fastest growing schools for aspiring performers. “God has made this dream a reality and I give Him the glory for all of our success!” said Okerson.

“Our mission is to provide a safe, nurturing, and creative environment for young artists that instills character and confidence to help them reach their fullest, God-given potential,” Okerson stated proudly. “At TRF, we emphasize artistry over competition. My staff and I work to promote modesty and poise, the freedom to have fun while learning a discipline, and creating an affordable family atmosphere.”

8 • June 2015 ilistwesternkentucky.com

The Rhythm Factory is located at 2928 Park Avenue, Suite A; just across from Noble Park. It is equipped with a spacious dance studio, ballet barres, wall-to-wall mirrors, and floating dance floors with Marley surfaces. The school has a separate classroom for voice and instrumentation. The lobby includes a video monitoring system that allows parents to watch their child in class plus free Wi-Fi! TRF is an all-encompassing school for the arts. “We pride ourselves on offering multiple art forms in one place,” explained Okerson. “Dance, vocal training, dramatic arts, guitar and piano. Many people don’t realize that we are more than just a dance studio. Our intention is to mold multifaceted, well-rounded performers.”

“Why We Love The Rhythm Factory” Okerson wanted to take a new approach to her cover feature this year. She asked parents and former students of TRF to share their reasons for choosing the school and why they love it here.

“Dance was always my passion growing up, but when Miss Tiffany became my teacher at 15, my love for dance grew more than I ever imagined. She taught material that challenged me, and I was inspired to put emotion into everything I learned. I always looked forward to class each week! Tiff strives to build solid relationships with all of her students. I have been out of dance for a few years now, and I still consider her a very close friend. - Tessa Cash, TRF alumni ‘This article is paid advertising and the information contained therein is provided by the featured individual or business. They are solely responsible for its accuracy.’

I began taking private lessons (for pageantry) with Miss Tiff long before TRF even existed and I fell in love with dancing.

I competed in Miss Illinois under the Miss America Organization for two years. Training with TRF gave me the confidence and technique to be able to pursue a career in entertainment. I have recently moved to Nashville and have been a part of the country music industry through music videos, award shows, and the filming of the ABC series Nashville. I am a living testimony that TRF trains for success! - Miranda Davidson, TRF alumni TRF has provided an excellent environment for my daughter to develop confidence in the art and skill of dance. I chose TRF because I believed Tiffany Okerson to be a positive role model and mentor for my daughter. Miss Tiff has inspired her students to be beautiful inside and out. I am grateful for the time and effort she, and her staff have devoted to all of our children. - Michelle Lowe, parent The Rhythm Factory teachers have extensive experience in their fields and it shows. TRF is a huge supporter of our community, with students performing at several local festivities, fundraisers, etc. The students have a wonderful sense of team spirit and respect for others. I can’t think of a better place for your child to express and expand upon their art form than TRF! - Julie Folsom, parent My girls have been at The Rhythm Factory from the start. At TRF my girls are safe, encouraged, loved and nurtured. They love it because of the fun, friendships and skills in dance, vocals

ilistwesternkentucky.com June 2015 • 9

and musical theatre they are developing. Here, every child can be themselves and individual talent is given the chance to grow. I would highly recommend TRF to any parent looking to enroll their child in a performing arts school. - Stephanie Burkhart, parent I can't say enough positive things about TRF! There are plenty of dance studios around Paducah, but if you really want to be a part of something special, TRF is it. My daughter didn’t feel connected to her previous dance school and she thought of quitting dance altogether. We met with Miss Tiff and her spark was rekindled! She made great friends within a few months and I did too!. TRF is a family-oriented studio, (no inappropriate outfits or dance moves to be seen here).

Strong technique is instilled, but the focus is on performing, not competing. My daughter learned and excelled more in a year at TRF than all the other years she had been dancing…and…for a fraction of what we were paying before! This is a warm atmosphere ready to welcome anyone with a love of the performing arts with open arms. – Cindy Gordon, parent

Meet our faculty Miss Tiffany attended Overton School’s Performing Arts program in Memphis, Tenn. She holds a Bachelor’s Degree in Psychology from Union University where she studied voice for three years. She is a certified instructor through the Southern Association of Dance Masters. Okerson has taught dance and stagecraft in the Purchase area for over a decade and has been performing professionally since the age of seventeen. She resides in Paducah with her husband Trent, a local meteorologist, and their son Hansen. Helping Okerson to achieve success are Emi Hensel, a Ballet technician extraordinaire; Cassidy Edwards, a Radio City Rockette Alumni; Amber Taylor, a SEMO Graduate of Theater Arts; Emily Surheinrich-Weeks, founder of Murray Dance Company; professional musician and piano teacher Evan Watkins, and Alex Coltharp, guitar teacher and member of the band “Red Ember.” The Okerson family would like to especially thank everyone who has been loyal to TRF over the years and believes in its mission. For more information on the staff and their qualifications, parent/student reviews, and monthly tuition visit TRF’s website, www.trfpaducah.com.

An important part of TRF’s mission is to provide opportunities to every child. “The Rhythm Factory wants to break the stigma that being a part of a school like ours is just a ‘girl thing’ or that it has to be expensive,” stated Okerson. “With many families on a tight budget, we strive to keep the cost of performing arts education reasonably priced. We have a scholarship program to assist families in need. For those wondering if TRF is the school for them, but aren’t quite sure? Come try us out! We promise you won’t be sorry.” v 10 • June 2015 ilistwesternkentucky.com

Beekeeping: A New Adventure Begins

I

t all started when I went to buy a Hoosier cabinet from a storage unit in Metropolis. As I was inspecting the piece of furniture, I happened to notice a Rubbermaid tub marked “bee stuff.” I peered inside and discovered a bee suit, gloves, veil and hat, smoker, and other miscellaneous beekeeping accoutrements. “If the suit is my size,” I told myself, “I'm going to become a beekeeper today.”

I tried it on right there in the storage unit. It fit me perfectly.

The woman sold me the entire box of equipment (and the Hoosier cabinet!) for an almost unbelievable bargain. Now all I needed was a hive. And some bees, of course.

What I didn't know at that time was that Paducah is home to an excellent apiary (bee-raising facility) and supply store called the Bee Barn. It's located right outside of Lone Oak on Clinton Road, and once I learned of their existence, I paid them a visit. It was a frigid February day, and all the bees

12 • June 2015 ilistwesternkentucky.com

were huddled deep in their hives. The store, though, was abuzz with activity. It was ordering day for starter hives, and I wanted to add my name to the list!

When you order bees, either from a local apiary or from an online source, you typically have two options. The first option is to buy what's called a “package” of bees. This is basically a screened box full of bees (around 10,000 of them!) and a queen, who is in her own separate cage within the box. The bees and the queen are all taken from random hives, so when you receive them in their package, they're not quite a big, happy family just yet. The hope is that the worker bees will accept their new queen and get to work building a home for her. Sometimes, though, the bees will simply fly off in confusion, abandoning the queen and disappearing forever. While that rarely happens, I decided to go for the second option instead: the “nuc” (short for “nucleus hive”). While it's slightly more spendy, a nuc is perfect for

a beginning beekeeper. A nuc is simply a small, already started hive of bees with its own queen, workers, drones, baby bees, etc. It comes with five frames (the comb-covered structures that you see when you open a hive) that are already covered in comb, with cells that are home to eggs, larva, and some stored honey the bees can eat as they build the colony. I paid my deposit for a nucleus hive to be picked up sometime in May. Now I had three months to learn all I could about beekeeping and, of course, to build a home for all 10,000 of my new friends to live in.

If you start poking around for information on beekeeping, you will find an absolute glut of it. Of course, as with most hobbies and passions people pursue, everyone has their own ideas about the “best” or “worst” way to do things. I would go to bed at night, my mind reeling with the dos, don'ts, products, hive designs, and dire warnings floating around out there. Choosing a hive style was particularly difficult. The most commonly known hive is the Langstroth.

That's the typical box-type hive that we all associate with beekeeping. There are also top-bar hives, Warre hives, and custom-built hybrids. Then there are the materials. From plastic to pine to cypress to styrofoam, every material has its pros and cons. And, of course, you have to figure out if you want an 8- or 10-frame configuration. If only one person is going to be lifting the supers (the boxes that are filled with frames) when they're filled with bees, honey, and wax, then it's best to choose an 8-frame hive, as the lighter weight is easier to manage.

I chose an 8-frame English Garden Hive, because I'm a girl and I wanted it to be pretty sitting out in the vegetable garden. Rather than the standard flat roof that most Langstroth hives have, the Garden Hive came with a peaked, copperclad roof. It was delivered to me in two large boxes and about 87452 pieces that I spent an afternoon screwing, gluing, and nailing together. Afterward, I stained the exterior of the hive a redwood color and set it out in its place of honor beneath the mulberry tree and FAR from any area the weed whacker might need access to. Directly across from the hive, I planted

ilistwesternkentucky.com June 2015 • 13

a feast for the bees: a raised bed of classic cottage garden flowers—hollyhocks, foxglove, lavender, and other plants pollinators are known to adore. Finally, I installed a cement birdbath filled with pretty marbles and crystals. This would give the bees easy access to a water source, and the rocks would keep them from drowning while they drank.

And here it is Mid-May. I'll be picking up my nucleus hive in about a week, and while everything is set up and ready to go, I'm still a bit nervous.

While not allergic, I do have a fairly healthy fear of things with stingers. I know that bees are generally gentle, but I have heard horror stories— mainly involving people getting too close to their hives with a weed whacker. I'm also nervous because it seems that in this day and age, bees are just really having a hard time of it. Between the rampant overuse of pesticides and herbicides, mite infestations, and the mysterious Colony Collapse Disorder in which entire colonies of bees simply disappear without a trace, there are a lot of “what ifs” for this new beekeeper.

Despite all that, though, I feel a little thrill of excitement every time I look out into the garden and see my hive, awaiting its new tenants. I'm not quite sure how I'll feel when I'm holding that thrumming box of 10,000 bees in my hands, but my hope is that I can achieve something between total Zen-like tranquility and abject panic. With any luck, they'll decide they like it here and not take off on me. With any luck, they'll be as patient with me as I hope to be with them. And maybe, just maybe if I ask nicely enough, they'll share a little bit of honey with me come Fall. v

Market House Theatre (MHT) has announced the exciting new plays and musicals it will be performing for its 52nd season. “The play selection committee created a season that will have audiences breathless with laughter, on the edge of their seats in suspense, and singing and dancing in the aisles,” said Michael Cochran, MHT’s executive director. “This selection of new titles is sure to become audience favorites."

Farce of Nature MHT kicks off the season with Farce of Nature on September 10-20, 2015. A brand new comedy from the writing trio of Jones, Hope, & Wooten whose hits The Dixie Swim Club and The Hallelujah Girls delighted MHT audiences with southern and rural characters. Set at the Reel 'Em Inn, which used to be the finest little fishing lodge in the Ozarks, the action takes place over the course of one day as the inn becomes packed with guests including one from the Witness Protection Program. Also showing up is the gangster who is after him, the gangster's wife, a wanna-be actor (who hides dressed in drag), a Barney Fife-like clueless policewoman who keeps losing her gun and bullets, the hypnotized lodge owner whose pants keep falling down as a result of his desperate-for- romance wife. Add to the craziness a pack of wild animals surrounding the lodge and you have Farce of Nature.

Dangerous Obsession A thriller just in time for Halloween! Dangerous Obsession will be playing October 15-25, 2015. This suspense-riddled play was written by NJ Crisp. The action takes place in the sun room of Mark & Sally Driscoll's wealthy home. A stranger-John Barratt-has been watching Sally as she comes in from the garden and tends the plants in the sun room. Sally lets him in when she realizes that they had met at a business function.

Mark comes home from work they think that John is here to talk about a business proposition. Mark finally asks John to leave and Sally hands John his 'rather heavy' briefcase. John pulls out a gun! This is one of those plays that will keep you on the edge of your seat until the very end.

Miss Nelson is Missing!

This play is based on the book by Harry Allard and James Marshall and adapted by Jeffrey Hatcher. It will be presented on November 19-22, 2015. Miss Nelson can't control her crazy classroom because she's just too nice. But when she disappears, her replacement is the hard-as-nails, detention-loving, recess-cancelling, homework-overloading substitute teacher Viola Swamp!

The Drawer Boy The New Year will welcome The Drawer Boy to MHT on January 14-24, 2016. The international award-winning play is by Michael Healey. The story begins on a summer's day in ilistwesternkentucky.com June 2015 • 15

1972 when an idealistic, young actor knocks on the door of an isolated farmhouse. He hopes to move in with Morgan and Angus, two middle-aged bachelor farmers, for a few weeks and make up a play about them and country life.

Morgan is the no-nonsense "farmer boy”, while Angus has a talent for drawing and design. Morgan has taken care of Angus since he suffered a massive head injury during World War II. Left with virtually no short-term memory, Angus, "only knows right now," which compels Morgan to re-introduce himself every morning and re-tell the story of their life together. The actor overhears "the story" and knows that he's found his play. The Drawer Boy is a humorous, heartwarming play with a powerful ending that will leave you riveted.

Gooney Bird Greene and Her True Life Adventures This play, which will be performed on March 10-13, 2016, was written by Kent R. Brown and based on the book by Lois Lowry. Meet Gooney Bird Greene, a uniquely precocious young girl with outrageous fashion sense who takes Waterpower Elementary by storm! Gooney Bird likes to be "smack in the middle of everything" and tells the most improbable, outlandish stories which awaken her classmate's imaginations and vividly illustrates how everyone has a story to tell!

Always a Bridesmaid Spring means weddings, and MHT presents Always a Bridesmaid on April 14-24, 2016. Another Jones, Hope, & Wooten hilarious comedic romp, featuring four friends who have sworn to keep the promise they made on the night of their Senior Prom: to be in each other's weddings ... no matter what. More than thirty years later, these Southern friends-for-life are still making "the long walk" for each other, determined to honor that vow. Libby Ruth, Deedra, Monette and Charlie are committed to the notion that careers, waistlines and even marriages may disappear, but real friendships last a lifetime. Forsaking all others, in sickness and in health, they repeatedly struggle to stage the perfect wedding in spite of fistfights at the altar, runaway

brides and the mistaken, and unfortunate, release of a flock of white doves on the first day of hunting season. Always A Bridesmaid is the rollicking tale of four loyal and determined women who definitively answer the question, "Just how far are you willing to go to keep a promise to a friend?”

The Outsiders The Outsiders by S.E. Hinton and adapted by Christopher Sergel will capture audiences on May 5-8, 2016. No one ever said life was easy. But Ponyboy is pretty sure that he's got things figured out. He knows that he can count on his brothers and friends. And when it comes to the Socs - a vicious gang of rich kids who enjoy beating up on "greasers" like him and his friends - he knows that he can count on them for trouble. But one night someone takes things too far, and Ponyboy's world is turned upside down.

All Shook Up MHT will close the season out with All Shook Up on June 219, 2016. Based on the book by Joe Dipietro, this extravaganza features songs of Elvis Presley. It’s the summer 1955.

In the middle of a square state... ln the middle of a square decade... ln a square little town. Natalie pumps gas at her father's filling station and dreams of finding the man who will change her life and who is not Dennis, her best friend and secret admirer. Dennis heads to Sylvia's Honky-Tonk, where the townsfolk, black and white, gather to lament the grayness of their lives. Chad, a mysterious stranger, appears on the horizon and transforms a broken-down jukebox with a wave of his bare hands. He infects everyone with the rebellious spirit of his rock and roll music. All Shook Up is a musical comedy built around the songs made famous by Elvis Presley. Among the 24 songs featured in the score are classics like "Heartbreak Hotel," "Love Me Tender," "Don't Be Cruel," "Can't Help Falling in Love," and of course the title tune.

pring is in the air and that means many of our local families are hitting the parks or taking to the lake. It is also the time that our students entering their senior year of high school are now thinking about senior portraits.

High school senior pictures are an American tradition that has been around for over half a century.

Capturing a Single Moment For Brad Rankin Studio, a good senior portrait is about capturing someone at his/her very best, while visually interpreting and expressing his/her identity through singular moments in time. Taking a genuinely compelling portrait is about more than just the background or the effects used during post-production. First and foremost, their work is about the person in front of the lens looking his/her very best. Rankin strives to strike the perfect balance between the subject and the environment; always making sure the seniors and their identities are the focus. They seamlessly combine of both location and studio photography which leads to a finished portfolio that is rich in content, elegant and modern, while remaining timeless.

Timeless Style Many photographers jump on the latest fads and then abandon them just as quickly. Brad Rankin Studio tries to avoid being so trendy that their work quickly becomes dated. They strive for constant style evolution and ways to progress their work. “We want our photography to look just as good five or 10 years down the road,” Rankin explained. “Combining the studio portraiture and location work also helps keep both seniors and their parents happy with the work we’re producing.”

The studio uses the same high-end style they employ on their commercial and editorial assignments which includes celebrity portraiture, national advertising and editorial work. Seniors leave feeling like celebrities, and

their portraits are cherished by parents and grandparents for years to come.

Brad Rankin Studio offers fully-customized, high energy sessions that are shaped to the individual. Their senior portrait sessions typically last for two to three hours. “We go for as long as it takes to get the portraits we need,” said Rankin. “It’s important that our clients feel we have covered all of the bases. It gives us enough time for our clients to feel comfortable in front of the camera; time to coach them, discover their best angles, and not feel rushed.”

For more information on their sessions contact them via phone (270.442.0199) or email studio@bradrankin.com, or visit their newly revamped web site at bradrankin.com to v see more work from Brad Rankin Studio.

Make Produce Part of Your Summer Plans

S

ummer isn’t summer without digging your face into a wedge of watermelon or drinking a frosty glass of fresh-squeezed lemonade. Without a doubt, fresh produce is one of the many splendors of the sunny season.

From apricots to zucchini, there are a wide variety of fruits and vegetables to try and enjoy this time of year.

Fresh Tip: Be sure to get the recommended amount of fruits and veggies each day. The Center for Disease Control and Prevention’s website has a fruit and vegetable calculator to help you meet your unique daily intake needs depending on your age, gender and activity level.

But we don’t just enjoy produce for the taste and refreshment. There are many reasons why veggies and fruits form a fantastic foundation for better health, especially while beating the summer heat.

Anti-Aging Summer skin care doesn’t stop at sunscreen and Vitamin D. Eat your way to better skin with a variety of fruits and vegetables rich in Vitamin C; a potent antioxidant and necessary nutrient that helps support collagen production and wound healing.

Fresh Tip: Build your next salad with lots of orange and strawberry slices, or grill some pineapple rings for a juicy topping to crown on a lean burger or grilled chicken breast.

Energy Sometimes, the heat can be draining, especially while doing our favorite outdoor activities. Fortunately, fruits and vegetables are healthy, low-calorie foods that can provide satisfying energy to power through elevated temperatures — better than a calorie-laden candy bar or sugary beverages. ilistwesternkentucky.com June 2015 • 49

Hydration Dehydration is more serious than we think, especially for people over the age of 65. Seniors may not be as aware of the signs of heat exhaustion and may require more fluid intake during higher temperatures. Fruits and vegetables can provide a fantastic hydration boost in addition to hydration levels recommended by a primary care provider.

Fresh Tip: When on the go, keep slices of fresh fruit or veggie sticks in a snack bag, or freeze grapes, orange slices and cucumber chunks, and use the frozen fruit as ice cubes in your water.

Things to Know • While fresh is always best, dried, frozen and canned (no added sugar) produce are also acceptable.

• Many fruit and vegetable juices contain added sugar, syrup and other additives, so look for 100 percent juice on bottled and canned items.

• Support your local growers by scouting for curbside stands and farmers markets. Produce prices are often less expensive, and many people enjoy the farm-totable dining experience. v

n 2012, theatre-loving students from across the country gathered for the first time on The Carson Center stage for an experience like no other – Broadway Workshop™.

A unique week-long theatre intensive, Broadway Workshop, is directed by Marc Tumminelli, owner and director of New York City’s Broadway Workshop™. It is subtitled “New York’s best training for young actors” and it is “what’s happening” this summer at The Carson Center.

Marc Tumminelli designed a touring version of the top training program which he conducts in New York for students of all ages. Traveling to Paducah with a team of top theater professionals who boast Broadway and touring credits, he comes to The Carson Center each year to inspire and challenge young performers in our region and beyond to expand and hone their theatre skills. Marc and his team return again for the fourth time, June 8-12, to guide students as they explore the world of professional theatre through classes in acting, singing, dancing, and stagecraft. Students gain experience in all areas of the theatre, while learning necessary career skills in an engaging, imaginative, and positive environment!

cluded the highly successful direction of “Bring It On” at the Five Angels Theatre in NYC. He hosts a wide variety of acting and vocal workshops at his New York location, often engaging well-known guest artists who are currently in Broadway productions as teachers for his students. Among this year’s guest artists at Broadway Workshop™ at The Carson Center are Antoinette DiPietropolo and Heather Parcells.

DiPietropolo has choreographed and performed in many national tours including How The Grinch Stole Christmas and Annie. Parcells has toured with the hit musical Chicago and

Victory Through Grace Overcoming Trafficking and Abuse

S

lavery is not just a concept found in our history books: Modern-day slavery still exists. According to EndIt.org there are over 27 million slaves across the world today, more than the number of people at the height of the 19th century slave trade. It is truly sobering to reflect that worldwide, trafficking is a 32 billion dollar industry, larger than Starbucks, Google, and Nike combined.

What is Human Trafficking?

Human trafficking is the trade of humans, most commonly for the purpose of sexual slavery, forced labor or commercial sexual exploitation. Human trafficking can occur within a country or trans-nationally. Sex traffickers often use violence, threats, lies, debt bondage, and other forms of coercion to force women, men and children to engage in commercial

sex against their will. Runaway and homeless youth, victims of domestic violence, sexual assault, war or conflict, or social discrimination are frequently targeted by traffickers.

Trafficking exists in every part of the world, including here in Kentucky. One local organization is working to make ensure that young people do not become the victims of this horrendous crime.

Victory through Grace Ministries This local organization focuses on trafficking prevention, education, and restoration. Victory through Grace Ministries was founded by local business women Kellie Russell and Carol Smith.

Many do not realize that trafficking and abuse exists in the Purchase Area and other parts of our state. “Trafficking has been in western Kentucky for many years,” explained Smith.

“We work with many different agencies and attorneys who have seen trafficking in not only Paducah but all over Kentucky. Tragically, we have found that the majority of local trafficking cases are instigated by a parent or a caregiver.”

Kellie Russell is a survivor of abuse, and now she is dedicated to helping other victims overcome adversity and experience victory. “As a child, I was sexually, physically and mentally abused,” Russell told me. “During the many years of this abuse, God laid it on my heart that this - my experiences would someday prove to be an inspiration: Someday I would use this to help many other young women.” God provided Russell with the people she needed to start Victory Ministries. “In January 2012, we began the official journey of undergoing extensive training to open a residential program for survivors of sexual abuse and trafficking,” Russell said. “In February of 2014 we were granted our 501 (C) 3 status. This means that we are not only a non-profit but one that is tax deductible.”

Outreach & Prevention “Our outreach director, Macey Smith, is continually looking for ways to educate people about human trafficking,” 54 • June 2015 ilistwesternkentucky.com

explained Smith. “She visits schools and speaks to organizations on the prevention, warning signs of abuse and trafficking. We are dedicated to preventing this horrific crime and ending modern day slavery and trafficking.”

Other board members include local Attorney Vicki Hayden. She not only mentors program participants, but offers pro-bono legal advice when needed.

The Victory House Since September 2014, the ministry has rented a house in Paducah and started a residential restoration program.

Victory through Grace’s Victory House is a free-of-charge residential home for young women, ages 18 to 27, who have been victims of trafficking or sexual abuse. The Victory House offers unconditional love, counseling, and many forms of therapy, including art, dance, music, writing group, equine and pet. The residents also learn life skills and complete their GED or pursue higher education if appropriate. “The dream became a reality when in 2015 the first resident walked through the door,” Smith told me. “Currently, we have two residents in the house, but we also work with another local victims who lives outside the home.”

A Life of Victory Victory through Grace Ministries has already seen the results of their work. “Each young woman has discovered what unconditional love is,” said Smith. “They have been taught that their past does not define them. They are overcoming and walking in victory over the lies that have been told to them. They now know true freedom and that they are no longer slaves. They are overcoming life-controlling issues and are enrolling in college or training. They are pro-

ductive citizens who will positively impact future generations. This program has seen amazing results in a short period of time.”

Be a Part of Victory!

“We are focused on healing their mind body and spirit, restoring them to wholeness, so that they can accomplish all their dreams,” Smith said. “Christ is the center of this ministry and we do not take any state of governmental funding.

So we are asking for the support of people and organizations to help sustain us.”

To donate to the Victory House or for more information, call 270.564.4252, visit their website at victoryministries.us or email victoryministries@outlook.com. “This is a 24/7 ministry and we cannot do it without the help of our community,” Smith told me. “If you are a person who wants to be a part of ending modern-day slavery and abuse, please help us to make a difference. You can be part of restoring lives and offering victory through grace.” v

Spokes for Strokes A Bike Tour to Raise Awareness

B

aptist Health Paducah hosts its annual Spokes for Strokes bike tour the first Saturday in June beginning at the Baptist Imaging Center parking lot. The ride raises awareness about the signs and symptoms of a stroke and funds to invest in life-saving technologies and expanded stroke care services. Last year the event raised $23,155 for the stroke program at Baptist Health Paducah, including a matching donation from the hospital foundation. Nearly 250 cyclists took part in the tour and the organizers expect a good crowd again this year.

Stroke is the one of the nation’s leading killers and the leading cause of serious, long-term disability.

“We will continue to focus on public education, so people of all ages know they should call 9-1-1 immediately if they see anyone experiencing signs of a stroke,” said Joseph Ashburn, M.D., stroke center director. “Time saved is brain saved, so if they seek immediate treatment, the effects of stroke may be reduced or even reversed.”

Three Well-Marked Routes This is a wonderful bike tour on three well-marked routes through beautiful McCracken, Marshall and Graves counties. Each route is SAG-supported with refreshments and toilet facilities at rest stops, as follows: 65 miles with rolling hills, six rest stops; 35 miles, four stops; 10 miles, flatter terrain just in McCracken County, with one stop. You may register at the event, or in advance online at active.com. Or, download the entry form and waiver at www.baptisthealthkentucky.com/ dotAsset/ 11746695-c791-41e3-b306-9a924d902ced.pdf.

Spokes for Strokes will begin at 7 am with registration at Baptist Health Imaging Center on the west end of campus at 2705 Kentucky Ave., followed by the tour at 8 am.

Registration at active.com is $25 for an individual, $40 for couples and $50 for a family for four.

O

n a daily basis, I have patients ask me what they can do to help their skin look better. They want to diminish the brown spots, the lines and wrinkles, the rough texture, the sensitivity; essentially, to have their skin look more youthful. We have many scientifically proven treatments to accomplish this including chemical peels, DermaPen, Hydrafacials, Ultherapy, Microdermabrasion, as well as physician strength skincare products to compliment these treatments. However, my desire is to also help educate, encourage and empower everyone to adopt healthy eating habits. They will not only dramatically improve the look and health of the skin, but ultimately improve overall health and well-being.

Reducing Sugar Unhealthy eating habits have become an epidemic in our culture today and we must make individual choices to change that. There are several critical steps in accomplishing this but I am going to concentrate on the importance of reducing one’s daily intake of sugar. Sugar is consumed at an alarming rate today and much of it is hidden in foods and beverages. Read the labels of all foods and look for words ending in –ose.

This is most likely a source of sugar.

When we eat sugar or foods that break down into sugar very quickly, our insulin level spikes and creates a

58 • June 2015 ilistwesternkentucky.com

burst of inflammation throughout the body. This inflammation begins a cascade that harms the body and ages the skin.

Foods that quickly break down to sugar include white bread, white potatoes, rice, pasta, crackers, muffins and chips.

Inflammation produces enzymes that break down collagen and elastin, increasing the fine lines and wrinkles in our skin.

It also leads to a process call glycation which can cause, or worsen, acne or rosacea.

Eating sugar causes a significant yo-yo effect in the blood stream with a rapid elevation in sugar, insulin spike, and then a subsequent drop in sugar level. Because of the stress this places on the body, stress hormones are released which age the skin and lead to dull-looking skin and acne flares.

Reducing Inflammation An imbalance in our immune function also results from consuming too much sugar. We have a fabulous immune system that acts like a surveillance system with natural killer cells circulating to get rid of infection and any early evidence of cancer cells. However, when we eat foods that contain sugar, our natural killer cell function is decreased by up to 50% for up to two hours. This can lead to infection, disease and even cancer.

The inflammation from sugar can lead to redness, scaling and worsening of eczema and dermatitis as well as dehydration of the skin.

So, it is critical to avoid sugar as much as possible. Learn to read labels on foods and avoid hidden sugars. Cut out sugary beverages that are empty calories and drink about 80 ounces of water a day.

Concentrate on the Following Foods: • Complex Carbohydrates such as vegetables. They break down to glucose very slowly; providing fuel with out causing inflammation. • Low Glycemic Carbohydrates such as nuts, whole grains, and fiber rich foods. These delay the absorption of sugar; maintaining balance.

Eat Mostly Whole Foods This food is considered healthy because it is grown naturally, has not been processed, and contains no artificial ingredients. Follow an anti-inflammatory diet consisting of lean protein (fish, free-range chicken, plant-based), healthy fats (avocado, olive oil, nuts), fiber (broccoli, Brussel sprouts, cauliflower), and fresh fruits like berries.

I recommend whole food supplementation in order to get the recommended nine to 13 servings of fruits and vegetables a day for optimum health. In addition, I highly recommend a daily probiotic for maintaining normal gut microbacteria.

Food can make a difference in the look and health of your skin. To look and feel your healthiest, start making better food choices today! v ilistwesternkentucky.com June 2015 • 59

Depending upon the plant, a single flower, leaf or branch is exhibited. A single hosta leaf or single hydrangea bloom would be displayed as cut plant material, but an entire orchid in bloom would be displayed as a container-grown plant. Bottles for displaying cut plant material, as well as wedging material and water, are provided.

Container-grown plants (containers no larger than 16” in any direction and grown by exhibitor at least 90 days) and combination plantings (containers no larger than 16” in any direction and grown together by exhibitor at least six weeks) may also be entered. In a change from last year, 12 hanging containers will be accepted in 2015.

Containers may not exceed 12” in any direction and must have been grown by exhibitor at least 90 days.

Design Division The Design Division is where the show’s theme, “See Blue” is most evident, drawn in large part from familiar song titles like “Blue Skies,” “Blue Moon of Kentucky,” “My Blue Heaven,” and “Am I Blue?” All designs should evoke the class title, although not in a literal way. Veteran exhibitors and those with little or no prior flower show experience should find the show schedule intriguing and inviting, even without knowledge of the principles of floral design. Judging is based on a 100 point scale.

Design entries will be accepted Thursday, June 25, 9:30-11 a.m. Exhibitors may enter multiple classes, but only one exhibit per class. Entries must be the work of a single exhibitor. The use of fresh plant material is encouraged and

harities and foundations are always looking for new twists on fundraising events. The organizers of the First OneSight 5k & Family GLOW Run in Paducah are hoping theirs will be a huge success. Their motto, "Brilliant colors streaking through the night, come share in some family fun for OneSight" says it all!

the idea came out of a brainstorming session. “Around Thanksgiving last year, Dana Gaston, store manager of Sunglass Hut, was asking me about fundraising ideas for OneSight, the charitable foundation of LensCrafter’s parent company, Luxottica. We decided a 5k run would be a great idea for the area.”

This event will be held on June 13 at Noble Park and is sponsored by LensCrafters, Sunglass Hut, and Dr. Levi Mansfield, Optometrist and owner of Mansfield Eye Care. They are all involved in making the GLOW Run a fun and successful race.

One of the event’s main organizers is LensCrafters of Paducah store general manager, Stacey Diaz, who told me

Race to Win – or Just for Fun! The GLOW Run is divided into two races - one for serious runners and one for pure fun. The first race will be a 5k for the serious runners and the second will be the family glow run. Runners in each race will receive glow bracelets that are sure to stand out since this is a night event. Everyone is

ilistwesternkentucky.com June 2015 • 63

encouraged to wear glow in-the-dark clothing and to bring glow sticks with them.

Registration forms can be obtained at any of the sponsors’ place of business or from any associate that works there.

Rates are $30 for adults ($15 for children). You can receive $5 off per person with groups of two or more. Registration will begin at 6 pm on race day with the 5k beginning at 7 pm.

The fun run will start at 8 pm. The top finishers of the 5K race will receive prizes. The event will go on rain or shine. “If it rains we will hold off a bit until it clears up, but the race will happen that evening,” Diaz told me.

GLOW in the Dark Diaz explained that the event will be very relaxed, especially since this is an inaugural event. They have talked to other race organizers and researched other GLOW runs before deciding to bring this event to Paducah. Diaz and her fellow organizers want participants to have a good time! “It’s about the cause and having fun, more than worrying about perfection,” Diaz told me. “We know the first race needs to be more structured for the serious runners.”

If you would like to be a part of this glowing new event, please contact Stacey at LensCrafters of Paducah at 270.442.7222. Visit the event’s Facebook page at facebook.com/events/1425776424389731. v

OneSight Foundation OneSight, exists to provide free vision care and eyewear to all those in need, around the world and in our own backyards. OneSight is the charitable foundation of Luxottica, the company that owns LensCrafters and Sunglass Hut. The money raised from the Family GLOW Run will help provide primary vision care and eyewear through global, regional and Vision Van clinics, as well as instore and community outreach programs. It will be used to support research seeking cures for preventable blindness and for education; investing in the next generation of optical professionals through scholarships and hands-on training. Since 1988, OneSight has partnered with local health organizations, governments, school districts, industry leaders, doctors and volunteers to help more than 9 million people in 41 countries. “Locally, we also work with the Merryman House, Kentucky Allied Services, and many other places to provide free glasses to those in need,” said Diaz.

OneSight relies on local charitable partners to pre-screen all recipients based on visual and financial need. Please contact your local 501(c)(3) non-profit organization (including The American Red Cross, Prevent Blindness America, other social service) to get help. Or contact your local LensCrafters, Pearle Vision, Sears Optical, or Target Optical to have them assist you with a charitable agency that can sponsor you.

The Perfect Father’s Day Gift Have I Told You Today That I Love You: A father’s words to his children.

F

or most people Father’s Day evokes fond memories. Whether it’s the time your dad taught you how to play catch, or that first weekend fishing trip with just the two of you; you really owe the guy something for all he's done.

With Father’s Day quickly approaching on June 21, it’s time to start thinking about the perfect gift for Dad. Some dads are easy to shop for and thrilled with golf balls, or baseball tickets or an iTunes gift card.

And then there are the other dads who require days devoted to thinking of some clever and unexpected Father's Day gift ideas!

66 • June 2015 ilistwesternkentucky.com

While taking the easy road with a tie or coffee mug is tempting, why not do something really special for your old man this year? Need a suggestion? We have the perfect gift that will show your dad just how special he really is while supporting one of Paducah’s very own.

Have I Told You Today That I Love You: A father’s words to his children is the perfect Father’s Day gift! This great book has been written by Paducah artist and author William F. Renzulli. It’s nearly 40 pages contain stories and words of wisdom from a father to

his children. It is also beautifully illustrated by the author himself with bold, colorful pictures that capture the heartfelt sentiments of the book.

Renzulli is a self-taught artist who left his practice of internal medicine in 1981 to pursue a career in art. He divided his time between art and medicine until he retired completely from medicine and moved to Paducah in 2002 to become part of the LowerTown artist community. During that journey, he published this book.

“I lived every word in this book while navigating the most tumultuous five years of my life, and sharing that experience with my children and others was something I simply had to do,” shared Renzulli.

The book illuminates a father dedicated to the task of passing on to his children the wisdom and values he holds so dearly. Even the preface shows how much soul-searching was exhausted to compile this book of wise words.

“These words come from a place deep within me, born out of times of anguish, frustration, joy and sorrow, successes and failures, and seasoned by liberal doses of anxiety, depression, and self-doubt in a spiritual awakening that literally transformed my life. I discovered my soul.”

The book gets much more personal and much more compelling with each turn of the page. Covering such topics as trusting your instincts, not being afraid of change, seeking solitude, and claiming your destiny, the author truly lets you into his life, thoughts, triumphs and pain.

In “Trust Your Instincts,” Renzulli writes passionately, “When confronted with a choice between your head and your heart, and both appear to be of the same weight, choose your heart. Renzulli goes on to justify his choice. He gently tells the story of a patient he had treated many years earlier.

Her condition was terminal and they had developed a mutual fondness, and respect for one another. Soon before her death, he was preparing to leave and wanted to give her a kiss to the cheek. He decided against it because he didn’t think that was what a doctor should do. She died that night, so he never saw her again. He promised himself, that whenever possible, that he would never allow his head to dictate what his heart wanted to do.

This Father’s Day, consider this wonderful book as a meaningful gift for the ‘Dad’ in your life. It’s perfect a friend who is a dad, or your son who has become a new dad. Each time that I open it up again, I find a different aspect to ponder. The book can be purchased locally in Paducah at Midtown Market, and at Renzulli’s Gallery 5 located at 803 Madison Street. Or buy it online; either from renzulliart.com or Amazon. v ilistwesternkentucky.com June 2015 • 67

All That Gas!

T

here are many things that are difficult to talk to friends, family, and even your family doctor about.

One subject that tops most people’s lists are gastrointestinal issues. Few people feel comfortable talking about, or seeking help for problems with with acid reflux, indigestion, bowel movements, or gas! Ignoring a usually treatable digestion affliction could lead to more serious problems.

Acid Reflux Acid reflux is the backward flow of stomach acid into the esophagus. Acid reflux is more specifically known as gastroesophageal reflux. During an episode of acid reflux, you may taste regurgitated food or sour liquid at the back of your mouth or feel a burning sensation in your chest (heartburn).

Dr. Demetrius Patton of Tri-Rivers Healthcare in Salem and Marion explained that acid reflux is no laughing matter. “All too often true acid reflux goes undiagnosed and untreated,” he told me.

“Even minor occurrences can lead to major health issues and leave the patient miserable.”

GERD Sometimes acid reflux progresses to GERD which is a more severe form of reflux. GERD stands for Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease.

It’s a condition in which the stomach contents (food or liquid) leak backwards from the stomach into the esophagus, the tube from the mouth to the stomach. This occurs when the muscle between the esophagus and stomach becomes damaged or weakened. One in five people have GERD and many are completely unaware of the damage that it may be causing.

The most common symptom of GERD is frequent heartburn. Other signs and symptoms

68 • June 2015 ilistwesternkentucky.com

may include regurgitation of food or sour liquid, difficulty swallowing, coughing, wheezing, and chest pain — especially while lying down at night.

Some lifestyle changes that can help to manage GERD symptoms include:

•

Avoid eating at least three hours before bed

•

Don’t lie down or go to bed right after eating

•

Lose weight

•

Engage in moderate exercise

•

Avoid foods that trigger your symptoms

Always talk to your doctor before making any lifestyle changes. While these tips have been known to help some GERD sufferers, your best option is to consult with your doctor and come up with an effective plan to manage your GERD. Treatment for heartburn and other signs and symptoms of GERD usually begins with over-the-counter medications that control acid. If you don't experience relief within a few weeks, your doctor may recommend other treatments, including prescription medications. According to the FDA in 2009, 21 million patients filled PPI prescriptions such as Nexium or Prilosec at outpatient retail pharmacies.

ilistwesternkentucky.com June 2015 • 69

If not properly treated, GERD can lead to serious medical conditions such as chronic cough or hoarseness, esophagitis, bleeding, scarring or ulcers of the esophagus and Barrett’s esophagus, an abnormal change in the lining of the esophagus that can potentially raise the risk of developing esophageal cancer.

Barrett’s Esophagus With this condition, tissue in the esophagus is replaced by tissue similar to the intestinal lining. Barrett's esophagus is most often diagnosed in people who have long-term GERD. Only a small percentage of people with GERD will develop Barrett's esophagus. Barrett's esophagus is associated with an increased risk of developing esophageal cancer. Although the risk is small, it's important to have regular checkups for precancerous cells. If precancerous cells are discovered, they can be treated to prevent esophageal cancer.

New Surgical Options Surgical therapy is available for those who do not respond to lifestyle and medication therapy or who do not wish to remain on medications. Some surgery options consist of wrapping the top of the stomach to reform the natural acid barrier and fixing the defect in the diaphragm and hiatal hernia if present. This type of surgery is called a fundoplication. Surgical therapy and medical therapy are generally equally effective. The decision of medical versus surgical therapy depends on how well the patient is likely to tolerate surgery, their response to medical therapy and the underlying causes of the GERD. Radiofrequency ablation (RFA) therapy has been shown to be safe and effective for treating Barrett's esophagus.

According to Dr. William Barnes, a gastroenterologist who specializes in the treatment of GERD, “Radiofrequency energy (radio waves) are delivered via a catheter to the esophagus. They remove diseased tissue while minimizing injury to healthy esophagus tissue.

This is called ablation, which means the removal or destruction of abnormal tissue.”

While you are sedated, a device is inserted through the mouth into the esophagus and used to deliver a controlled level of energy and power to remove a thin layer of diseased tissue. The ability to provide a controlled amount of heat to diseased tissue is one mechanism by

which this therapy has a lower rate of complications than other forms of ablation therapy.

“RFA is just one step in the process,” said Patton. “Once the damaged tissue is ablated, the patient still needs to continue with other anti-reflux procedures.”
