Letter From Katie

Vol. 22 Issue 5

Mother’s Days That I Would Rather Forget

y first Mother’s Day was memorable. But not for a happy reason. I thought I would get to sleep in, enjoy a day of pampering and receive a sweet card on which my husband had forged my sixmonth-old’s signature. What I got instead was a sinus infection. I spent the day fevering and miserable. I thought, “Well, it can’t get worse than this.” I was wrong. Before Mother’s Day 2017, my third child was born so I spent that Sunday in the hospital receiving treatment for a spinal headache caused by my epidural. Having a needle stuck in my back wasn’t what I envisioned for my “special day.” On the Mother’s Days in between, I’ve received handprint ornaments, flower paintings and a homemade pinch pot to hold my spare change. My husband has gotten better at forging the children’s signatures, and my one request to not have to cook that day has been honored.

Publisher Dana Tackett

It’s easy for new moms to have high expectations for Mother’s Day. The greeting card companies and jewelry commercials make it hard to ignore. I have three tips on how to always have a successful Mother’s Day: 1) Communicate your expectations clearly. Remind your husband that it is his responsibility to get a card from the children. He also can facilitate a handmade craft or shop for a gift with the children. But don’t expect a big to-do if you claimed you had no expectations. 2) Keep in mind that life happens. People get sick. People forget to mark their calendars. Gifts are chosen with the best intentions even if they are not exactly what you wanted. 3) Remember the purpose of the holiday. It is an occasion to celebrate mothers. That includes you, but it’s not about only you. Take the time to show appreciation for the mothers in your life and it will come back to you. Y

Lexington Family Magazine’s

nother successful family fun day was in the books after the 16th Annual Summer Camps & Activities Fair wrapped up on Saturday, April 14. Approximately 3,000 people attended the fair and visited with booths by summer camps, afterschool programs, enrichment classes, financial institutions, local non-profit organizations and so many more. Kids enjoyed bouncing on inflatables, shooting hoops, running a ninja obstacle course, getting their faces painted, creating art projects and more while parents gathered information and had face time with vendors. The children’s performance area featured an interactive fitness class by the YMCA of Central Kentucky, dance numbers by Upgrade Dance Company, a martial arts demonstration by Tiger Kim Tae Kwon Do, a fashion show by Images Model & Talent Agency, a cheer performance by Stellar All-Stars Cheerleading and performances by Lexington Dance Factory. Happy Photography Company captured the smiles of hundreds of children for the annual Cover Model Contest during the Fair. Family Magazine will announce those winners in the June issue of Lexington Family Magazine.

Grades K-1

ore than 500 young authors submitted their work this year for the 14th annual Lexington Family Magazine Writing Contest. The contest was open to Central Kentucky students in grades K-5, and judges saw no shortage of creativity among the participants. Children were asked to craft a creative essay based on the prompt “If I Had a Time Machine …” We read about children traveling to ancient Egypt to study mummies, to prehistoric eras to play with dinosaurs or to the recent past to save extinct species. Some students chose to visit the future and see what their adult lives would be

like or what exciting technology might exist. Time machines took the form of tree houses, magic portals, ball gowns and ink pens. Essays were judged in three categories: Grades K & 1, Grades 2 & 3 and Grades 4 & 5. Prizes were awarded to both boys and girls. Winners received prizes from American Girl, Breyer Horses, HappenStock Toys, Pulse Performance Products and Disney Publishing. Entries were judged on creativity, quality of writing and how well they fit the theme. Look for all the details on next year’s contest starting in January 2019. Essays will be due at the end of March 2019. Y

City Pools To Open

The Best Motivation Comes From Within

any people believe that in order to get results people must be offered incentives to do better and given penalties for failing to perform. These external forms of motivation can produce short-term results but fail over the long term.

The most successful people rely on internal motivation, and there are ways for children to develop internal motivation that drives them, so that parents don’t have to. In the book “The Self-Driven Child,” authors William Stixrud and Ned Johnson describe how children need a sense of competency, relatedness and autonomy. Researcher Carol Dweck developed the idea of a Growth Mindset. People who believe their talents can be developed through hard work, good strategies and input from others have a growth mindset. They tend to achieve more than people with a fixed mindset (those who believe their talents are innate gifts). Another great read on this subject is Daniel Pink’s “Drive: The Surprising Truth About What Motivates Us.” So, what does all this research suggest we do to build intrinsic motivation? Try this: 1) Encourage effort and persistence rather than focusing on results. “You worked so hard on your spelling words this week. I’m proud of you.” 2) Celebrate the learning that comes from failures and mistakes, including your own. “Today I learned not to put my coffee on the dashboard. It went all over my pants and I had to change. Next time I’ll use the cup holder!” 3) Stay connected to your children. Be happy to see them. Spend warm time with them. Make sure they know how much you 10 | www.lexingtonfamily.com

love them. 4) As often as possible, let your child do things for herself. It may take a little longer, but she will build a sense of competence and confidence in her ability. This is priceless. “You got your jacket zipped up! High five!” 5) Give your children autonomy. Be a consultant instead of a director. Be confident in their ability to make good decisions and support them in their efforts. Offer advice, but don’t force it. Opportunities for making choices grow as your child develops. Starting with small things helps make the big things (when they are teenagers) less stressful. “I’m not willing to fight with you about your homework. I’ll help if you want me to and arrange for a tutor if you’d rather do that. It’s your choice.” Here are the most important points for helping your child develop intrinsic motivation: t Stay closely connected t Be patient t Trust that given all the information they need, they can make good decisions. Then you can cheer them on. Dr. Lesley Iwinski is the mother of three grown children, a family physician and owner of Growing Peaceful Families, LLC. She offers classes, workshops and seminars.

Fayette County Public Schools

Teachers Are Life-Changers By: Emmanuel Caulk

Fayette County Public Schools Superintendent

ucked in my wallet is a small piece paper, well-worn from years of being folded and unfolded. On it is a hand-written message that reminds me of the man who helped me become the man I am today. The document I carry with me each day is my sixth grade report card. On it, my sixth grade teacher Robert Glines wrote: “Proud of you! Keep going with your studies and sports!” Mr. Glines was the first male teacher I ever had. He was my first male role model. He was the first person who asked me about my future. As a child raised in abject poverty, I lived in public housing in Wilmington, Delaware. Like my friends, my primary purpose for going to school was to socialize. We carried few school supplies and received very little guidance at home on the importance of education.

Mr. Glines taught us to believe in ourselves. He gave us hope by instilling in us that, through education, we could accomplish our dreams. When I visit classrooms throughout the Fayette County Public Schools, I catch glimpses of Mr. Glines. I see him in the teacher kneeling beside a student providing individual instruction. I see him in the teacher with her arm around a student who is upset about a situation at home. I see him in the teacher who arrives at school early to provide extra tutoring and the teacher who stays well into the evening working with students in extracurricular, co-curricular and athletic endeavors. We all got to where we are in our lives with help from a teacher. For me it was Mr. Glines. For you it may have been the kindergarten teacher who helped you fall in love with story time. Or the band teacher who opened the

world of music to you. Or the algebra teacher who helped you discover patterns in linear equations. Or the college professor whose passion for their subject led you to your career. Since 1984, the National PTA has recognized the first week of May as Teacher Appreciation Week. Our school board recently adopted a resolution celebrating teachers for “working daily to nurture the individual gifts and talents of our students.” By providing students with inspiration, motivation and, ultimately, a path to their future, our teachers are life-changers whose influence extends beyond the classroom into our community. In the words of Helen Caldicott, “teachers, I believe, are the most responsible and important members of society because their professional efforts affect the fate of the earth.” Please join me in thanking our educators, not only during Teacher Appreciation Week, but every day of the year!

ON THE MOVE Sarah McCrady, 84, Keeps Active at Her New Home – Highgrove at Tates Creek By John Lynch

espite a recent hip injury, 84-yearold Sarah McCrady has no trouble making the rounds at Highgrove at Tates Creek as she escorts a visitor around the plush new retirement community in Lexington. Although Mrs. McCrady moved to Highgrove only six months ago, she already knows all the staff and residents and has a smile and big hello for everyone she meets. This recent walk reveals all you need to know about Mrs. McCrady – she’s always in motion and she has yet to meet a stranger. “She’s nice to everyone, very polite,” says Lisa Stamper, Highgrove’s Memory Care Director who formerly helped coordinate social activities. “She has good energy and walks every day. She even walks her neighbor’s dog.”

Before her hip surgery last year, Mrs. McCrady lived alone in Lexington – her husband Charles passed away in 2002. The hip injury was the reason for moving to Highgrove, and her quality of life has improved since. “Mom is a very personable, social person,” said her son, Charlie, who lives in Lexington. “She was voted the friendliest girl in high school. She really enjoys all the 22 | www.lexingtonfamily.com

$ From Beyond the Grave Learn How to Control Your Estate...

By Jason W. Veinot

imes have changed. When I entered the financial industry over 20 years ago “Estate Planning” primarily focused on two specific issues: 1) Having to endure the “Probate” process when settling an estate. 2) Paying tax on the portion of an estate not covered under the “Federal Estate Tax Exemption.” Those concerns have changed because of the following events: 1) People (and advisors) realized that this feared “Probate” was not as traumatic as many thought. 2) The “Federal Exemption” that determines how much of an estate can be left to heirs without incurring estate taxes increased from $600,000 in the late 1990s to $5.49 million last year and doubled under the new tax law in 2018 to $11.2 million per person. Now, a couple can leave an estate valued up to $22.4 million without paying a dime in taxes. Meanwhile, something else was happening in the culture: 1) Divorce and remarriage fostered the increasing prevalence of multi-generational blended families. 2) Parents began to worry about their spendthrift children. Therefore, the focus of estate planning shifted from the need to avoid fees and taxes to keeping control beyond the grave. Consider the following scenarios: t Don and Ruth had a legacy plan that distributed their estate to their daughter Wendy. After receiving her inheritance, Wendy died in an auto accident leaving behind her husband, Randy, and their children Ryan and Raleigh. Two years later, Randy married Kelly, who had two children of her own from a previous marriage. Five years into the marriage, Randy died of a heart attack and his estate passed to his new wife Kelly, who updated her financial records and established her two children as 24 | www.lexingtonfamily.com

the sole beneficiaries in the event of death. What happened to Ryan and Raleigh? They could not inherit a dime of their grandparent’s money. t Robert inherited his mother’s $175,000 IRA after she died last year. After paying off credit cards and students loans, remodeling his house, and taking his friends on a cruise, he was left with $5,000. That’s when the IRS informed him that he owed $75,250 in federal and state income tax on the IRA. This could have been avoided. t Ron and Lori left money to provide care for Melissa, their child with special

$$ $

needs. Unfortunately, they left their inheritance to her directly instead of using a special needs trust. Consequently, Melissa could no longer receive government benefits. t Blake’s will and trust was devised to leave everything to his wife. However, his largest asset, his 401k, went to his exspouse because he failed to set up the beneficiary forms correctly when he remarried. t Your daughter Becky finalizes her divorce, but a month later you learn that her agreement includes your ex-son-in-law’s ability to lay claim against a portion of her inheritance from you.

How to Protect & Control Your Financial Legacy

his list of frightening scenarios is nearly endless. How do you avoid situations in which your hard-earned money fails to reach its intended targets because of poor planning? 1) A beneficiary form will override both a will and a trust. 2) In the event of a death, remarriage or divorce, check ALL financial documents, including beneficiary forms. 3) Rather than a lump sum, leave an income stream to your children. 4) A “Restricted Beneficiary Form” can help you keep control and carry out specific wishes after you’re gone without needing a trust. 5) Remember that doing nothing is still doing something. Leaving an estate with no will or trust will give control to others who will determine what happens to your hard-earned money. 6) Learn ways to protect money for future generations. 7) Consider the use of Payable On Death (POD) and Transferrable on Death (TOD) provisions with accounts that do not offer a beneficiary form. 8) Understand tax consequence of all your accounts. For example, instead of leaving a taxable IRA to children and tax-free life insurance policy to a charity, do it the other way around. 9) Ensure that your IRA’s have a “Stretch” provision allowing beneficiaries the option to distribute funds over their lifetime and minimize tax implications. The ultimate goal of Estate Planning is to ensure that your money goes where you want, how you want, and when you want in the most tax-efficient means possible. Y

hen it came time to write a story about how to plan for your final resting place, I was the ideal person for the job because I’m an aging Baby Boomer and I knew nothing about the subject. Thankfully, Miles Penn, a horticulturist and one of about two dozen employees at Lexington Cemetery, led me through the process. So here’s what I learned. First, my generation is changing the way people think about interment. Ten years ago, only 10% of people chose cremation over a traditional burial plot. Now, that number is closer to 40%. “Because you can set the service whenever you want without the urgency that comes with a burial, cremation is more of a life celebration,” said Penn, who has worked at Lexington Cemetery for 21 years. “You have time to plan the service so that relatives can attend, and it makes it more convenient for everyone.” With cremation, people can still have their remains interred, but most opt for a spot in the mausoleum at Lexington Cemetery. You can also have your ashes spread at the Scattering Grounds, which includes identifying plaques. Cremations cost from $500 to $1,300. Traditional burials are more expensive, especially because 75% are purchased as side-by-side plots by a husband and a wife. Side-by-side plots are 6-foot-8 inches wide by 11 feet long and range from $5,500 to $6,300. The cost includes a poured foundation for a headstone, which is purchased separately. Foundations are guaranteed for perpetuity. Some people worry about the long-term future of a cemetery, fearing that their gravesite might be neglected over time. That’s not a concern at Lexington Cemetery, which consists of 170 acres, 25 of which are still undeveloped. The cemetery has enough land for at least 100 years – more if cremations remain popular, Penn said. Lexington Cemetery also deposits 60% of all revenue into a perpetual care fund. (The state requires only 20%). Lexington Cemetery’s perpetual care fund has climbed to $65 million. “Even if we took in no more money, with that large of a fund we can care for this cemetery for years and years,” Penn said. There you have it: Lexington Cemetery, founded in the 19th century (1849), is well positioned to last long into this century and beyond. Y

Vision Therapy Also Helps Seniors

e all know that as we age our bodies lag behind. We can’t run as fast, lift as much, even stay awake as long as we once did. The same thing is true of our eyes and visual systems, said Dr. Rick Graebe, a behavioral optometrist in Versailles. By age 60, Dr. Graebe said, everyone’s eyes receive 30% less light than before, which explains why older adults grow leery of driving at night. But the biggest changes to our visual systems can come from three areas – cataract surgery, retinal surgery, and strokes or brain injuries. All of us are candidates for cataracts because it’s a progressive condition in which the eye grows increasingly more opaque causing blurred vision. The good news is that cataracts are easily treated with a simple procedure where the lens is replaced with an artificial one. Depending on the new lens, nearsightedness and/or farsightedness are suddenly cured.

But because the eyes are now receiving injuries, Dr. Graebe said, also experience new input, the brain, which is central changes to the ambient part of the visual to the visual system, may have trouble system, which deals with eye pointing processing that information. and tracking, and spatial awareness and Eyes might not point and track together balance. as well as before, especially with close-up The Vision Therapy treatment that work like reading and computer work. corrects these changes involves a Dr. Graebe specializes in Vision Therapy, sequence of non-academic activities that a kind of physical therapy for the eyes, are more like simple games than medical brain and body that treats such conditions treatment. as amblyopia (lazy eye), strabismus (eye “With these older adults, their misalignment), convergent deficiency treatment is similar to young kids (inability of eyes to track and point whose visual systems have developed together), and blurred and double vision. improperly,” Dr. Graebe said.

New Rules for Use of Allergy Foods

or many years the official guidelines from the American Academy of Pediatrics (and other organizations) have recommended delaying the feeding of solids to infants to help prevent asthma and allergies. The theory went that the younger infants were introduced to certain foods, the more likely they were to trigger allergic (atopic) disease. Certain foods, such as peanut products, were not to be introduced to infants at all. Recently the guidelines have changed. We have known for at least the last 12 years that delaying solid foods appears to have no bearing on an infantâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s chances of developing asthma and allergies. As a matter of fact, a sensitization (allergy) to a food is more likely to develop if its introduction to an infant is delayed. A study in the New England Journal of Medicine was published in 2015 to tackle the mystery of why Jewish children in London (England) had ten times the rate

Lacrosse Is Only One Of His Many Skills

Colton Warner SCHOOL: Henry Clay High GRADE: 12 SPORT: Lacrosse ACADEMICS: Colton has a 4.9 weighted GPA, scored 35 on the ACT, has taken 13 A.P. classes and studied for a semester in Switzerland. PARENTS: Jane & Sloan

iven all that he’s accomplished, it’s hard to believe that Colton Warner of Henry Clay High is only 17 years old. Consider: t He has a 4.9 weighted GPA, scored 35 on the ACT and has taken 13 A.P. classes in the Academy at Henry Clay. t He launched his own non-profit company – Food4Thought KY, which raises money for food donations to the needy. His non-profit hosted a Super Bowl brunch that raised $650. t As one of only 50 American students, he studied for one semester in Switzerland two years ago in the village of Zermatt at the base of the Matterhorn. It was a tech-free semester. No cell phone, no social media, no Internet. To call home, he walked to a pay phone in the local train station. He wrote all his papers longhand and the same went for letters back home. Along with his studies, the semester featured mountain hiking and skiing. t He volunteered at Henry Clay’s Dance Blue event that raised $7,000 for Kentucky Children’s Hospital. t He spent a month last summer in Alaska as part of the National Outdoor Leadership School where he hiked in the Talkeetna mountains. t He’s both a mentor and a mentee in separate programs at Henry Clay. An aspiring entrepreneur, he works with Toa Green, the founder of Crank and Boom in Lexington.

Scholar Athlete Scholarship: $3,000 Two Scholar Athletes a year will be picked at random to share the $3,000 Darrell B. Pulliam Memorial Scholarship provided by Mike Pulliam, a Rector Hayden Realtor and instructor at Man O’ War Golf. Other contributors are Howard Smith of Smith Garage Equipment, Barry and Mike Barrett of Auto Excel, local accountant Kenny Frank and Dairy Queen franchise owner Paul Wright. 38 | www.lexingtonfamily.com

He also mentors underclassmen as part of the Equity and Advancement Program at Henry Clay. t He’s an avid reader of literary classics by authors such as Hemingway, Salinger, Nabokov and Oscar Wilde. t He has played on three State championship high school lacrosse teams. He started the sport as a gradeschooler at The Lexington School and found his niche as a defensive midfielder last year when he earned the team’s Most Improved award. No wonder some of the nation’s top universities have sought Colton – Cornell, Dartmouth, Vanderbilt and Virginia among others. How does he cram so much activity into each day? He’s more organized than a Swiss watch. “I thrive on structure and I try to work as efficiently as possible.” That’s why Colton tracks his responsibilities on a whiteboard in his room, erasing tasks as he completes them. Colton combines his organizational skills with a free-spirited personality, signaled by his long, flowing blond hair. He’s an enthusiastic supporter of lacrosse, calling it the ultimate team sport. “It’s all about strategy and communication,” he said. “It’s about sensing what my teammates need and what they need from me.” Y
