FROM THE EDITOR

Be a Gift to Someone

S

ometimes when we’re experiencing a crisis, we concentrate on the negative impact of the situation and become frustrated when things don’t go our way — despite our best efforts.

However, when we redirect our energy to a way that can help others, we are also helping ourselves. Being a source of comfort allows us to build new friendships while giving hope to someone who is having a tough time.

Obstacles in life are inevitable.

Sometimes they seem insurmountable, but from Pastor Mike Olsen we can all learn that the way we cope dictates our quality of life. In 2014, he was diagnosed with a rare lung disease and told that he had two years to live. He has had 31 bronchial stenosis surgeries and a double lung transplant, but his spirits remain high. Instead of worrying about himself, he focused on what he could do to improve the lives of others who had been diagnosed with the same disease. (Read more on page 38.)

Let’s start thinking about how we can bring joy to someone else.

The reward is priceless.

Make the Right Move

Anna Marshall appreciates the space in her new home like the art room at Masonic Homes.

hinking of moving? Do you want to be near your children? Or are you suddenly overwhelmed by the large yard? Maybe you want a walkable neighborhood. Or looking to fulfill a dream.

Downsizing in later life introduces a new category of things to consider: the independent living community or walkable living.

her lifetime, including downsizing with husband Robert from a large home with a steep driveway in Riverwood to a ranch in Northfield.

The Northfield ranch was more manageable, but after her husband died, the ranch and the yard were too much to keep up.

HASSLE-FREE LIVING About a year ago, Anna Marshall moved into an apartment in the Meadow, an active lifestyle independent living community on the Masonic Homes of Kentucky campus, and she couldn’t be happier.

Anna, a retired registered nurse, has moved several times in

“After three years living by myself, I thought, ‘This house is too big for me, this yard is too big for me.’ I had had back surgery and I couldn’t do yard work anymore,” says Anna, 84.

Before she and her daughter-in-law, Raenell Schroering, went out looking for a condo, she had made an important decision. “ I told her, ‘If I go to a condo, it will be an intermediate move,

“After three years living by myself , I thought, ‘This house is too big for me, this yard is too big for me’... I decided I didn’t want to do this anymore.”

and I will have to move again. I want this to be my last move.’” So they lined up appointments for apartments at independent living communities with multiple levels of care.

“We started at the Masonic Homes,” she says.

“The Meadow was brand new, a beautiful building.

Just strikingly beautiful.

We walked through, and she said, ‘If you don’t move in, I think I will.’

Independent living communities “are a whole lot different than they were years ago,” Anna says about the upscale setting.

While she toured other communities, she was smitten by the Meadow and its amenities — the fountains, the landscaping.

“Having my own chef, a theatre, a swimming pool. I was ready to quit cooking,” Anna says. They serve meals in a beautiful dining room. I said, ‘OK, I think I can handle that.’”

She chose a onebedroom with a den, a large dining room and a back door with a patio.

“I woke up one morning, and six azaleas around my patio were in bloom. And I didn’t have to do a thing.”

She points out that shuttle transportation on campus and car transportation off campus make her car nearly obsolete.

“The concierge calls the shuttle to take me to the pool across campus,” she says. “Then, the shuttle brings me back to the apartment after I swim.

“I kept my car as a symbol of independence, but it’s not necessary. I’ve reached the point now of thinking of letting the car go.”

She loves the social activities. “We have book club and bridge club and exercise classes.” They also have an exercise room and a huge ballroom with an instructor from the Louisville Ballet.

“We have a magnificent art studio with lots of natural light. I’m an artist also. I paint. They offer art classes here. They also offer trips, like to the Speed Museum.”

Before she made the move, Anna made a list of the pros and cons and also tallied up all the yearly expenses for living in her ranch and compared them to the cost of living at the Meadow.

“It’s pretty comparable,” Anna says. “On the front end, it appears very expensive, but I had never looked at my total costs for a year.

I didn’t realize how much it was costing me to live in the house.”

The Meadows at Masonic Homes became Anna Marshall’s new home.

WALKABLE LIVING Merv and Deb Aubespin decided to move out of their two-story West-end home, where they had entertained their friends for years, because it wasn’t convenient. They decided to move to a condo in the Highlands or Crescent Hill.

“We didn’t like our neighborhood anymore,” says Deb, a retired Jefferson County Public Schools middle school teacher. “I was dying of boredom. There were no restaurants, no nightclubs, no places to go.”

“There was just nothing there,” adds Merv, a retired associate editor for the Courier-Journal newspaper and artist.

“I had to go to the Highlands for everything or to the East End,” Deb says.

One weekend Deb went to an open house at a condo on Cherokee Road. “It had these incredibly high ceilings, and a lot of wall space, and I said, ‘Yes! This is what I want!” They put their house up for sale and moved that spring into a 1,600-square-foot, three-bedroom condo in a large old house built in 1877 that had been turned into a four-plex.

It’s an old, old house that had seen the transition of the Cherokee area,” she says. “It was originally a single-family house. The owner was a tax collector. It was probably a rooming house at one time, then became apartments, and later, condos in the ’80s, when the Cherokee Triangle PAGE 10 >>

was coming back.

“We have a lot of paintings, which is why we bought this place, because it has a lot of wall space,” Deb says. Merv is a painter. “We have a huge amount of bookcases, because we have a huge amount of books.” And, “we have space for my African art that I have collected over the years,” Merv says.

WHAT DO THEY LOVE ABOUT THE HIGHLANDS? “It’s diverse,” Merv says. Deb adds, “On my street, I’m between Highland Avenue and Grinstead. We can go on our porch and watch a mini United Nations going up the street to the Kentucky Refugee Ministries. Women from Nepal, Congo.

It’s so fantastic. There are people from Peru, West Africa, Central Africa. You

can tell who’s who by the way they dress.

“We have friends who live in the East End and they have monster homes,” Deb says. “That’s not who we are. We are close to the Baxter Theatre. Merv loves to sit on the porch. He’s a people watcher.

There’s the park. It’s great for walking.

We have pretty much what we need in a neighborhood.

“We are urban people. I am, especially,” says Deb, who grew up in San Francisco and has lived in New York, Boston, Los Angeles, and London. “This is perfect.

I don’t want land, I don’t want a large place. I want atmosphere, and I want to see people around.”

“If I’m going to meet a friend for a drink, I can walk over to a place on Bardstown Road,” Merv says. “We live around the corner from the Fat

Lamb, which is becoming our favorite restaurant.”

Though the condo is more expensive than their house, it’s been worth it. “It’s where I want to be,” Merv says.

They will be making another move next summer, buying a house with a pool in Palm Springs with their daughter, Sarah Spearing, who is in film production in Los Angeles. They are moving because they have developed allergies here and feel better in the dry desert air.

“I don’t see myself as being elderly. I’m still active,” Merv says.

EASE YOUR CHRONIC PAIN

Why Does Moving My Body Hurt?

By Bobbe Ann Crouch

S

ix years ago when Valerie Spies, stylist at Z Salon & Spa, began experiencing neck pain, lower back pain, and fatigue, she went to the doctor expecting to be told she needed physical therapy. “It was very discouraging,” Valerie says. “He spent exactly 10 minutes with me and concluded that I needed to find another job. I went home resigned to the fact that I’d always have this terrible pain. I was so depressed.”

A month later at the suggestion of her parents, Valerie went to visit her father’s doctor, who spent two hours doing a full workup on her. This included blood work and X-rays. “He told me if this was caused by my profession, he’d have a lot more stylists for clients.

Instead, he diagnosed me with ankylosing spondylitis. My dad has this. I don’t know why I never thought about having it, too. It’s hereditary.”

Although the name makes it sound otherwise, ankylosing spondylitis (also known as Bechterew’s disease) is a common form of arthritis that causes inflammation of the spinal joints (vertebrae), which can lead to severe, chronic pain. The most common early symptoms of AS are frequent pain and stiffness in the lower back, which begins gradually, often only on one side of the body. The pain is usually diffused and dull and is worse in the morning and during the night.

Ankylosing spondylitis can lead to ankylosis, which is new bone formation in the spine causing sections of the spine to fuse into an immobile position. This is why it’s important to visit your doctor at the first sign of symptoms. Valerie says, “My father’s case was not caught early on, so his progressed to the point that he doesn’t have full movement of his neck.

Luckily, my diagnosis came when my AS was in the early stages, so I do not have any damage.”

The goal for treatment of AS is to relieve pain and stiffness and to delay and/or prevent complications and 12 Winter 2019-2020 / TodaysTransitionsNow.com

spinal deformity. Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) — such as naproxen (Naprosyn) and indomethacin (Indocin) — are the medications doctors most commonly use to treat ankylosing spondylitis. They help to ease the inflammation and subsequent pain and stiffness.

In addition to medication, doctor’s prescribe range-of-motion and stretching exercises to help maintain joint flexibility and good posture. “My doctor gave me a whole chart of exercises and stretches, which are essentially yoga poses, so I just started going to 502 Power Yoga three to five times per week,” Valerie says. “I have to keep my body mechanics in check, especially at work, so I stay active and pay attention to my posture a lot. The more you move, the looser your body gets, so I try not to stay in one position or seated for long periods of time.”

Valerie says, “The main thing for me is that the AS is always present, so I try to be kind to myself.”

HOW TO GET RELIEF Besides seeing your doctor regularly and taking your medications as prescribed, try these things: • Stay active.

Exercise can help ease pain, maintain flexibility, and improve your posture.

• Apply heat and cold.

Heat applied to stiff joints and tight muscles can ease pain and stiffness. Ice on inflamed areas can help reduce swelling.

• Don’t smoke.

• Practice good posture. Practicing standing straight in front of a mirror can help you avoid some of the problems associated with ankylosing spondylitis.

We Help Mom and/or Dad to Age in the Right Place!

Caring for Your “Honored” Family Member

T

his week our office received an unusual call.

It was from a gentleman inquiring for services for himself. The gentleman’s wife works, and he understood his need for care in his wife’s absence.

In all the years we have owned our non-medical in-home service never had we received a call from the individual needing the care, rather it was a loving spouse or son or daughter. This leads to the most common questions families’ face — “When is the right time to secure help for my Mom and/ or Dad, and what type of care should that be?”

To answer these questions we need to understand the challenges that Mom and/ or Dad are incurring in performing their Activities of Daily Living, (ADLs).

• Is safety becoming a real question due to more frequent falls?

• Are transfers to or from a chair, bed and toilet becoming more of a challenge?

• Are meals being properly prepared?

• Can medicines be properly administered?

• Is incontinence a concern?

• Are there cognitive or memory issues or a dementia diagnosis concern?

These are just a few of the many issues to consider when determining if assistance is required for Mom and/or dad.

Now there a few Important points that may help you in managing through the process: • Allow the honored loved one to be a major part of the discussion and decision.

• Be proactive as opposed to reactive — waiting too late could result in more attractive care options being eliminated.

• Explore all options, and be a sponge for information.

Invite professional in-home care providers for a visit. You will find this to be an invaluable resource for information.

• Take field trips to Assisted Living or Personal Care

ComForCare Home Care Owners Chris and Julie Prentice Communities. You will be surprised how well this option can help you. If Mom/Dad likes what they see, a community discussion will become easier.

If not, then in-home care will become more attractive.

• Be persistent, pick the right time. Remember when you wanted to ask your parents to borrow the car? Bad timing on

your part resulted in no car!

Throughout our company’s existence we have encountered families with many questions, so few answers, and uncertainty as to where to go to receive the answers.

This is why we developed:

It’s Heck Getting Old!

Solutions for when our bodies don’t work the way they used to

PROBLEM:

Lack of Human Touch Studies show that a strong social network helps us live longer and stay healthier. A big part of the equation is human touch. Whether it’s a hug, an arm around the shoulder, or a brief pat on the hand, physical connection reduces feelings of stress and isolation and even boosts the immune system. When friends and family aren’t close by, however, getting enough touch can be difficult.

Here are a couple of fun and safe ideas that not only help meet this basic human need but are also good for your body.

SOLUTION: Try a Dance Class Dancing is both a fun social activity and a great form of exercise. Latin, ballroom, swing, and salsa are all partner dances that involve touch. “Sometimes it’s a one-hand connection or hold, sometimes it’s two-hand, and sometimes it’s a dance frame with one arm around the other person,” says Ann Marie Werner, manager of Bravo Dance Studio. Bravo offers group dance classes for all levels including beginners. Students can come in as couples or as individuals, and partners always rotate so everyone gets to dance. More experienced dancers who prefer less structure can also attend dance parties and mixers at the studio.

Where to go: Bravo Dance Studio, 2138 Old Shepherdsville Road, and several other places in Louisville.

Price: Bravo adult group classes are $7, first one is free.

Monthly passes and private lessons are also available.

14 Winter 2019-2020 / TodaysTransitionsNow.com

SOLUTION: Get a Massage Professional massage is helpful for both body and mind.

It can ease pain and discomfort from arthritis, joint pain, and everyday aches and pains while relieving stress and releasing feel-good hormones that promote a sense of relaxation and well-being. There are different types of massage depending on your needs. “Swedish massage, which is lighter touch, might be a good place to start, and the therapist will check in after a few minutes to make sure it’s not too much or too little pressure,” says Andrew Pryor, owner of Elements Massage in Middletown. And if you’re not sure what to wear, the answer is whatever makes you comfortable.

Where to go: Elements Massage has multiple locations.

Price: starting at $74 for a 70-minute session.

If You Hate Exercise...

ood news! Walking may be one of the best forms of physical exercise for seniors, especially for those who hate to work out. Walking is easy to get started, it has a low risk for injury, it can be done at any intensity, and the bonus — it’s social.

According to Dr. Howard LeWine of Harvard Health, “If you want to stay healthy and mobile well into old age, start walking today — even if you’ve already edged into ‘old age.’” Walking improves cardiovascular health, lowers risk of high blood pressure, high cholesterol, heart disease, stroke, and diabetes.

Louisville is home to many great walking groups such as The Norton Healthcare Get Healthy Walking Club, who walks at the Louisville Zoo March through October each year. If you are someone who needs to be distracted into not thinking about exercise and you love animals, this is the group for you. (It’s free, too.)

The Zoo Walkers’ loop at the Louisville Zoo is a paved surface through the animal exhibits. The course combines flat areas and hills with the sights and sounds of the zoo for a nontraditional and challenging twist on exercise. Individual walker members can enter the zoo and sign in between 8-9:15am but must exit by 9:30am. Directional signs keep

walkers on track and provide special health tips along the way.

“During the walking months, most walks are self-led,” says Hannah Hernandez with Adult Prevention & Wellness at Norton Healthcare. “We have a lot of stroller walkers — moms or grandparents walking their babies — but we also have a lot of 60+ aged members. We host group walk dates where walkers can chat and walk with Norton Healthcare representatives. We are actively working to expand and improve the club with additional activities in 2020.”

Louisville native Phillip Willis says, “There’s nothing like being at the zoo early in the morning for a brisk walk. The backdrop of the animals and their sights and sounds takes me back to childhood visits there. The course isn’t flat either, so I feel like I am getting a pretty good workout.”

Registration for the coming 2020 season is currently open through Norton’s website or by calling its office. Walkers will receive a membership card, an invitation to the Get Healthy Walking Club Expo on July 11, opportunities to participate in other events, and eligibility for prizes and giveaways.

According to Hannah, the day of the Expo, “walkers are invited to stay all day at the zoo. During the event we host free health screenings, group walks, exercise demonstrations, and a kids zone.”

A HANDYMAN

By Lucy M. Pritchett

Follow these tips to find the help you need to paint a room or fix that broken light.

M

y father was many things, but handy around the house he was not. Oh sure, he could pound a nail into the wall to hang a picture or use a screwdriver to tighten a doorknob, but beyond that I don’t remember seeing him do many chores involving tools. But, give him a trowel and let him outside to tend his tomatoes and he was a happy man.

Because Dad handled rental properties, he had a list of independent contractors and plumbing, painting, and electrical companies he used to maintain those properties. He used them for our own house repairs as well. So if there’s one thing he taught me it was that you can always hire somebody to do the jobs that you don’t want to or cannot do.

I have come to rely on that knowledge.

I have owned my own home for 15 years and about 10 years ago totally remodeled the interior — knocking out walls, updating the bathroom, and pretty much changing every single surface in the house. I was lucky while doing that project — which went on for several months — in that I had a friend who owned a masonry company and served as my contractor. He had a crew of workers who did the demolition work and he hooked me up with a painter, an electrician, and a drywall person. I had wood floors installed and he had a source for that job as well.

My brother inherited from our mother the Fearless Gene. He will try anything once. He has also been a source of help. Although he doesn’t live in Louisville, when he comes to visit I usually have a list of little chores for him to do, and he doesn’t mind helping PAGE 20 >>

<<PAGE 18

me out at all. He hung ceiling fans for me, repaired a broken chair, and has completed other minor tasks around the house, and I’m grateful for that. He doesn’t even charge me. Ah, such is brotherly love.

Where to Find Help

1. Ask Around In addition to family and friends I have found my neighbors to be a terrific resource for hiring help.

The first time I had my kitchen painted I used the company the neighbor was using at the time. She liked their work, and I felt comfortable letting the crew into my home.

Word of mouth is perhaps the best way to find contractors or people for your home repair projects. Asking someone in your yoga class or an art class can be very helpful. If you have just purchased a home or condo, your real estate agent might have suggestions.

2. Professional Service One friend of mine has used a professional handyman service, and she says the best way to do that is to save up and have a few chores for the worker to do at one time. But first, ask if the company charges by the hour or by the job. If you have curtain rods to be installed and a door to be unstuck and a shelf to be hung, have those completed all at once.

3. Hardware Store Referrals Another way to find competent workers is through a neighborhood hardware store or home improvement store. There are usually business cards or some other contact information that can be found.

4. Better Business Bureau For big jobs, check with the Better Business Bureau if you are considering hiring a company — plumbing, HVAC, electrical, or the like. Better stick with licensed companies who most likely (check if it is) are insured and offer some sort of warranty on the work.

Ask for references. You might be wise to get a couple of estimates for large jobs of this sort.

If you live alone and are hesitant to have a stranger come into your home, by all means call on a neighbor, friend, or family member to be with you while work is being done. Don’t leave any valuables or money lying around, and although there is no need to hover over the workers, at least stay aware of what they are doing and where they are in your home.

5. Outside Needs Outside home maintenance jobs need attending to as well. If you’re like me and have a yard and garden but no interest in doing anything more than gazing at it, you will need to find someone to mow and weed. I am lucky enough to have a neighbor who cuts my modest back yard for me. As far as weeding and keeping my small flower garden under control, I found a young woman who I hired based on the recommendation of the woman who used to handle that chore for me.

I have a neighbor who runs a landscaping company but also does odd jobs, and he keeps my gutters cleaned out and free flowing. He has also done a few heavy duty landscaping jobs for me.

6. Do It Yourself with YouTube

If worse comes to worse and you find you have a small repair that needs to be done you can always access YouTube. I had to replace the flushing mechanism of my toilet and turned to YouTube for help. Success!

As you might imagine, I was very pleased with myself after making that minor repair. But for anything more complicated than that, I will continue to rely on the professionals.

IF YOU LIVE ALONE AND ARE HESITANT TO HAVE A STRANGER COME INTO YOUR HOME, CALL ON A NEIGHBOR, FRIEND, OR FAMILY MEMBER TO BE WITH YOU WHILE WORK IS BEING DONE. 20 Winter 2019-2020 / TodaysTransitionsNow.com

WHAT HER DAY LOOKS LIKE

W

en Diane Porter retired in 2009 after a 39-year career with Jefferson County Public Schools, she planned to follow the advice of those who retired before her and take at least three months to “do nothing.”

She didn’t last that long.

PAGE 24 >>

22 Winter 2019-2020 / TodaysTransitionsNow.com

<<PAGE 22

Before the end of the first month, at the urging of people from the community, Diane agreed to run for a seat on the JCPS school board. She initially planned to serve just one term on the board, but is now on her third. “Education and equity and opportunity for students and families has always been very important to me, and I’m very proud of the district I represent,” she says. Diane is also a board member of Fund for the Arts, Leadership Louisville, and the Louisville Urban League, and is involved in several other community organizations. While she might be even busier now than before she retired, Diane is doing exactly what she loves.

“A MORNING WITHOUT COFFEE IS NOT A MORNING.” — DIANE PORTER

1

Day

In My Life Diane Porter

On the school wall hangs a conceptual drawing and a written description of the glass art piece located at Lincoln Performing Arts School.

One of Diane’s favorite meals is the Baja Warm Grain Bowl with Chicken from Panera Bread.

Morning Routine: Diane usually gets up between 7-8am to tend to her 14-year-old Yorkie, Duchess. Diane’s breakfast may vary, but coffee is a must. “A morning without coffee is not a morning,” she says.

No two days are alike: She might be in back-to-back meetings, visiting schools, attending community events, or enjoying a meal out with a friend. If she has free time, Diane might find a place to sit still for a while and take in the quiet, catch up on her reading, or go for a walk through her favorite store. “I love walking up and down Target, but that seems to get me in trouble because there’s always something I want to buy. Reading is more affordable, to be honest.”

Trying to eat healthy: Diane’s unpredictable schedule makes it difficult to use up fresh produce before it goes bad.

When she’s eating at home, she finds it easier and more economical to pick up something from one of the local places that offers healthier options. “Panera is one of my best friends.”

Burning the midnight oil: Diane spends many evenings catching up on work. Often she loses track of time and stays up much later than intended, as people point out when they see the time stamp on her emails.

“I admire people who have a set time to stop working, but I’m just not one of those people right now. I don’t really feel retired, I just feel like I’m pursuing a life.”

omputer viruses and their pesky removal can be a real pain. One risky click could cause your computer to slow down, perform in a bizarre manner, or wipe out all your stored files. Fortunately, most computers are equipped with antivirus software that prevents this nightmare, and consequently, traditional computer viruses are at a current low. However, other forms of malware (the blanket term for any malicious software program meant to wreak havoc on your computer) are continuing to plague the average internet consumer.

The most common malware scheme in 2019 is phishing — the fraudulent attempt to obtain users’ personal information, such as passwords and account information. A cybercriminal lures its victims by posing as a trustworthy or legitimate entity — your bank, credit card company, a social media friend, or company you do regular business with —that needs immediate response or urgent action. Typically, a phishing email or text will tell a compelling story that persuades you to click on a link and provide your personal information. This scam can be elaborate and difficult to detect. For instance, you may receive an official-looking email from your credit card company that tells you its system has been hacked and you need to update your account information to avoid having your account frozen.

Even the most cautious users can fall prey to this scheme. Read below for some suggestions from the Federal Trade Commission as to how to prevent this most common form of malware.

Update security software k Most computers have built-in security software, but it is important that users continually update to the newest versions. Set software to update automatically in your computer settings.

Use multifactor authentication k Some accounts offer this feature to enter a password plus a text authentication code or fingerprint.

Backup your data k Use an external hard drive or the cloud to regularly backup your data.

Never click unless you’re sure k Never click on the email link of an unknown sender.

If you know the sender, whether an acquaintance or business, call them directly for verification.

Share your suspicions k Forward suspected phishing spam to spam@uce.gov and report to ftc.gov/complaint.

Most computers have built-in malware prevention and detection programs. IT experts recommend adding a third-party antivirus program, because even the free versions outperform the computer’s builtin version. Here is the critics’ top pick: Bitdefender ($29.99) k This comprehensive antivirus security suite detects and repairs any infected programming. Critics say that it helps to extend battery life and functionality. A free version can be downloaded at https://www. bitdefender.com/solutions/free.html

Should You Keep

Driving?

I

By Megan S. Willman

remember the day my dad hung up his car keys for the last time. He didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t share specific details with me, but he knew the time was right.

Years later, he still recalled it as one of the most difficult decisions of his life. The loss of independence and control stuck with him as an offense greater than most other indignities he suffered as his Parkinsonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s symptoms advanced. Driving not only gets us where we need to go, but it affords us the privilege of arriving under our own power and by our own devices. All of us want to stay behind the wheel for as long as possible, but the key is to do so safely.

Rita Morrow and Tihisha Rawlins of AARP and Lynda Lambert of AAA offer some tips and strategies that keep us more comfortable with driving as we age.

What can you do to be safer on the road and more comfortable with driving?

The main components to consider for safe driving include vision, reaction time, and mobility. Each of these can be improved with regular maintenance and attention. Here are a few suggestions from Lynda and Rita: • Get regular eye exams. “The amount of light needed to drive doubles every 13 years,” Lynda says.

AAA recommends eye exams every two years for those aged 60 and younger and every year for those 61 and over.

• Work on your neck mobility.

To drive safely, you must be able to look in all directions. Stay flexible by turning your head from side to side periodically through the day.

• Stay alert. “If you look away for

even two seconds, you double your chances of an accident,” Lynda says.

Keep track of what’s happening in front of, behind, and on both sides of your vehicle. Take note of what’s happening 20-30 seconds down the road.

• Give yourself more time to react. The time we need to process information can be a bit longer as we age. A general rule for all drivers is to maintain a 3-second following distance from the car ahead of you.

• Ease your worries. If you are uncomfortable on highways or bridges, plot your route ahead of time and make adjustments. If left turns make you nervous (they do increase the chances for an accident), make three right turns to avoid that left. In other words, go around the block.

• Stay mentally and physically fit.

“Don’t sit down and give up,” Lynda says. AAA advises physical exercise for 20 minutes daily/five days a week. Do something you enjoy like gardening, golf, or tennis. Keep your mind active with crossword puzzles or learning something new.

PAGE 32 >>

PROGRAMS TO HELP CarFit Program CarFit is a collaboration among AAA, AARP, and AOTA (American Occupational Therapy Association), where drivers work with trained advisors to assess essentials such as being able to reach for the seatbelt, adjusting mirrors, and maintaining a proper distance of 10 inches away from the steering wheel.

“Drivers may be hesitant to attend one of these sessions because they believe the goal is to label them as unfit drivers.

The opposite is true. CarFit focuses on helping drivers to stay on the road by making sure their vehicle truly fits their current needs,” Lynda says. Call your local AAA or AARP branch to find locations for an upcoming CarFit event.

AARP Driver Safety Program AARP’s Driver Safety program operates with either an in-person or online class option. No portion of the class takes place in a car; the focus is primarily on reminders about driving safely and on recent changes that may have taken place in the law or on local roads.

Anyone over the age of 55 can take the class, and some insurance companies offer discounts to those drivers who have completed it. (Check with your insurance agent to find out if a discount is available for you.) “People may or may not learn something new from the class, but 97 percent of them say they come away with at least one thing they will change to improve their driving,” Rita says.

Simply enter the name of the product and you will see information about side effects that might impact your driving ability.

“If you look away for even two seconds, you double your chances of an accident.”

ARE THERE ANY TOOLS TO MAKE THINGS EASIER? Newer cars have helpful technology that benefits drivers of all ages. If a driver veers out of the lane or doesn’t keep hands on the steering wheel, the wheel vibrates. When using cruise control, the car can automatically slow when approaching another car. (Just don’t use cruise in the rain; your car may skid.) Side mirrors can signal when it’s not safe to change lanes.

Other inexpensive items that can be purchased and easily added to the car include visor extenders that protect from sun and glare; side mirrors that help address blind spot concerns; seat belt extenders that improve mobility; and steering wheel covers that protect from extreme temperatures.

Additional adaptive devices can be purchased and installed by professionals. Those include pedal extenders, seat lifts, and support cushions to name a few. It is best to talk these options through with AARP or AAA advisors, or even your favorite mechanic or car dealership.

32 Winter 2019-2020 / TodaysTransitionsNow.com

• Know your medication’s side effects. Prescriptions and supplements can affect you in unexpected ways. Read the fine print and talk with your doctor. If you feel sleepy or disoriented, don’t drive. Check out the Roadwise RX program below.

• Avoid distractions. Stay off your phone and eliminate the radio if it proves troublesome. Be mindful of children darting in front of traffic to chase a ball or people crossing the street. Even those beautiful grandchildren in the backseat can cause us to take our eyes from the road if we’re not careful.

How do you know when it’s time to hang up your keys?

Even with these options and strategies, there will come a time when driving is no longer the best idea. “Chronological age is not a predictor,” Lynda says. “What counts is performance, as well as physical and mental fitness.” It may be obvious when the time comes,

but Lynda and Rita offer a few signs of diminished capacity that may indicate it’s time to turn in the keys. Ask yourself the following questions: • Have I had a series of minor crashes?

• Are there dings and dents on my vehicle that I can’t explain?

• Do I get lost more often or fail to recognize once-familiar roads?

• Am I unable to read or understand road signs?

• Are other drivers honking at me frequently?

• Have family and friends, or even police officers, talked to me about my driving?

Even when the day arrives, take heart. The inability to drive no longer means staying home or being dependent on a family member. “I used to tell my daughter that she could hire me a driver to be at my disposal,” Rita says. “But now, I know I will just call Uber or buy a self-driving car. It’s not going to slow me down.”

Book Club

Stories & Photos by Patti Hartog

Featuring: Beneath a Scarlet Sky by Mark Sullivan The Willow Community Book Group was started in January 2019. It is open to all residents of 1400 Willow Condominiums and meets monthly. Members include both men and women, with monthly attendance averaging 10 to 15 people. Books are selected a few months in advance and are chosen by consensus, with a policy of alternating between fiction and nonfiction. The group recently discussed Beneath a Scarlet Sky by Mark Sullivan. Member Linda Bessler shared insights from the conversation.

Excerpt from Beneath a Scarlet Sky:

“To be young and in love. Isn’t it remarkable that something like that can happen in the middle of a war?

It says something about the inherent goodness of life, despite all the evil we’ve seen.”

What have you learned from this book?

Willow Community Book Group WHEN: Meets monthly WHERE: 1400 Willow Condominiums common area If you would like to join one of these book clubs, send an email to BookClub@TodaysMediaNow.com for details!

Beneath a Scarlet Sky is set in Milan, Italy, during World War II. We learned a lot about the atmosphere in Italy during the war. We were surprised by the ongoing civil war in the midst of the occupation by the Nazis. The novel showed us that both sides of the war were capable of unspeakable cruelties. It is based on the true story of Pino Lella, a teenager who became a spy for the Allies while being a driver for Gen. Hans Leyers, a high ranking Nazi.

Pino witnesses atrocities such as slavery and concentration camps but maintains strength and happiness through a growing love for his beautiful girlfriend, Anna.

If you could hang out with one character from the book, who would it be?

We were impressed with Father Re, a Catholic priest who managed a remote retreat where boys were sent to be safe.

He organized efforts to help the Jews escape to Switzerland and risked his own life, since Nazis executed clerics in front

of their parishioners when they were caught helping Jews.

Why did you choose this book? Are you glad you did?

This was one of the first books we read. We thought it was good to begin with historical fiction, to appeal to both fiction and nonfiction members. Since it is fiction but based on a true story, it was difficult to know which events actually happened. Some felt parts of the story were too unbelievable to be true.

What other titles would you recommend to people who enjoyed this book?

The novel All the Light We Cannot See

by Anthony Doerr.

What is the best book the group read?

It is difficult to choose a favorite book, but one member loved All Over But The Shoutin’ by Rick Bragg. It is a beautiful memoir by the Pulitzer-prize winning journalist, written as a loving tribute to his mother.

WHAT I KNOW NOW

John Hale John Hale is an archaeologist — Louisville’s own Indiana Jones. He is director of liberal studies at the University of Louisville.

He teaches Archaeology of Sacred Sites and an honors travel seminar. He investigated the geological origins of the Greek Oracle of Delphi and proved the ancient eyewitness accounts were true.

What was exciting about your discovery about the Oracle of Delphi?

That there is a geological fault running under the site that results in cracks and fissures allowing ethylene gas, which smells very sweet and is a powerful intoxicant and hallucinogen, to rise through the temple floor. The women of the village who served as the oracles inhaled the vapors, putting them in a trance that enabled them to make prophecies and offer counsel.

There was an historical conviction that the vapors at the Oracle at Delphi was a myth, but it is now found to be true and backed up by science. We must take ancient accounts and testimony to heart and have more trust in those eyewitness descriptions.

What prompted your interest in archaeology?

Can’t get the knack of?

Ball sports. Rowing, though, is the perfect sport for me because I want to perfect one motion 200 times, I like being yelled at by the coxswain, and getting all sweaty. I rowed for Yale and Cambridge and helped get the Louisville Rowing Club started.

Why study archaeology?

Archaeologists are specialists in physical evidence just like NCIS or CSI forensic investigators. While those investigators solve the crime, we reconstruct the human past through physical artifacts.

What’s the best advice you’ve acted on?

One of my Yale professors suggested that I might consider going overseas for Ph.D. work.

That opened up new horizons for me that I would not have had in America. It helped get me launched.

that’s great that there is that icon out there. But unlike Indiana Jones, archaeologists don’t work alone. They work as a team with specialists from different areas or disciplines.

What local historic sites have you explored?

I worked on the Riverport Industrial Park development site, which was originally farmland. We divided the area into segments and

found objects going back thousands of years and one single artifact from 10,000 years ago.

At the site, there is another now-fenced-in area that was an ancient burial ground we preserved. Every place on the planet has a deeper identity. I feel it’s a big responsibility to those who have inherited the land to be respectful to those before us, to be mindful of the past and what people did here.

He’s Making Every Breath Count

By Megan S. Willman Photo by Melissa Donald

H

ave you heard of Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis (IPF)? Though it’s still unknown to many, one local man is committed to raising awareness of the disease in Louisville and beyond. When he was diagnosed with IPF in 2014, Pastor Mike Olsen was shocked. He’d never smoked; how could he be dying of a rare lung disease? The doctor told him he had two years to live. Even as his symptoms advanced, Mike defied the odds by living three years beyond what the doctor foretold. In 2019, at the five-year mark, Mike received a double lung transplant. The surgery that saved his life almost killed him; in fact, he died on the operating table. He returned to life and eventually awoke from the coma that followed, only to undergo (to-date) 31 bronchial stenosis surgeries.

That’s the medical side of the story, in brief, but it’s only part of Mike’s remarkable story. When he first got the bad news, Mike considered his options. “I could go into a depression or do what I normally do: get outside of myself and help others,” he says. That was the beginning of the grassroots effort called The Mike Olsen Project. Making it his mission to raise awareness about IPF and support others like himself, Mike began to reach out and minister to others.

One of those early conversations was with a man in Texas named Ruben. Mike gave him a call, which turned out to be the first of many. In time a friendship developed, and the two shared stories of the ways they were working to raise IPF awareness in their respective communities.

One day, Ruben told Mike that he’d saved his life. The night of their first call, Ruben had decided he would take his own life. It — Pastor Mike Olsen was Mike’s words of support and encouragement that gave him the courage to hang on and battle his IPF. Mike, with oxygen tank in tow, began to connect with a lot of people. Louisville Mayor Greg Fischer was Pastor Mike’s first stop, but he also met with various congressmen, Sen. Rand Paul and Mitch McConnell, and even President Trump. “I wanted these folks who make healthcare laws to hear from a ‘real’ person,” Mike says.

Dennis Quaid, who knew of IPF because fellow actor Marlon Brando had it, invited Pastor Mike to a bar in Lexington where his band was playing. Together, they

He takes every speaking engagement he can and is working with University of Louisville programs such as the Center for Healthy Soil, Water, and Air, and the Green Heart Project, a unique experiment testing whether more green space will improve air quality and health.

“If I get a nudge to do something, I just do it. People say I have hutzpah,” Mike says.

What’s next? Mike is working on obtaining 501c3 status to establish The Mike Olsen Foundation. In the meantime, learn more by visiting vimeo.com and entering “Mike Olsen Project.” He lives his personal life philosophy every day: “Make every breath count. Enjoy life to its fullest.”

Seeking Answers There is help for Alzheimer’s Disease

By Carrie Vittitoe

I

f there is a bogeyman of aging, it might be Alzheimer’s disease because it is an irreversible, progressive brain disorder that causes patients to lose both short-term and, eventually, long-term memories.

A common misperception is that Alzheimer’s disease and dementia are the same. Dementia is an umbrella term under which a number of memory loss conditions sit, including Alzheimer’s disease.

According to Courtney Martin, director of memory care and life enrichment at Masonic Homes Kentucky, 60 percent of dementia cases are Alzheimer’s disease.

SYMPTOMS

While symptoms of Alzheimer’s disease can vary from person-to-person, Martin says patients may begin to have problems with word retrieval, judgment and decision-making, and spatial awareness. As the disease progresses, patients may experience a loss of details in older memories, the development of anxiety or depression, and an inability to retain new memories.

DON’T WAIT TO GET HELP

Martin says most people do not see a doctor soon enough, which can be difficult for the patient, the family, and the physician. “People are reluctant to go to the doctor and tell the full scope of what they’re experiencing,” she says, 40 Winter 2019-2020 / TodaysTransitionsNow.com

“but doctors can only work with the information they are given. They need comprehensive information.”

Memory loss doesn’t automatically mean a diagnosis of Alzheimer’s disease.

Martin says there are many possible causes of memory issues including vitamin deficiency, hormone levels, sleep apnea, medication side effects, and even infections. For example, urinary tract infections (UTIs) are notorious for causing memory loss and confusion in older people.

TREATMENTS

Martin says there are five popular medications right now for the management of Alzheimer’s disease: Razadyne, Aricept, Exelon, Namenda, and Namzaric. Some of these are for early- to mid-stage Alzheimer’s disease, while others are for later stages of the illness.

There are also non-pharmacological treatments, such as validation therapy, physical exercise, and sensory stimulation, and Martin says it is best when both forms of treatment are used together.

Validation therapy is a form of communication in which caregivers do not try to bring the Alzheimer’s patient to reality. Caregivers accept the reality that the patient is experiencing. Sensory stimulation offers patients a range of auditory, visual, gustatory, and olfactory experiences to help them reconnect

with the world and cope. For example, if an Alzheimer’s patient touches sand or shells, this may reconnect him/her with positive feelings associated with past beach or vacation memories.

Auditory experiences are generally a big part of therapy for Alzheimer’s patients because “music is the last memory to go,” Martin says. When Alzheimer’s patients hear music from their childhood or early adult years, it can help them make connections to memories that have been difficult to find.

HELP FOR CAREGIVERS

Alzheimer’s disease is a terrifying illness because it means a lack of control over the brain, which causes tremendous stress to patients. Unfortunately, Martin says patients’ families can often make the stress worse for their loved ones by asking “Do you remember this person?” or “Do you know who I am?” While it is understandable that families want their loved ones to remember, being questioned and unable to recall faces and names is profoundly upsetting to Alzheimer’s disease patients.

Martin encourages families to have “more experiences, and fewer conversations” with their loved ones who have Alzheimer’s disease. This can mean taking a walk, working a puzzle together, listening to music, or eating dessert together.

Looking to Smooth the Wrinkles?

Four aesthetic treatments that will make you love your face again.

By Tonilyn Hornung

M

irror mirror on the wall, who’s the fairest of them all?” In this day and age everyone has the opportunity to be the fairest one on their block. There’s no need to mix together that perfect magic potion when there are proven facial treatments and aesthetic surgeries that help people look as young as they feel. It’s only a matter

of taking the right steps to anti-aging success, and three Louisville doctors offer their expertise.

“The consultation is very important,” says Dr. Martin Fox, a practicing plastic surgeon for over 20 years. Every patient is distinct, and in this part of the process a doctor will suggest the best treatment options based on the signs of aging they’re seeing. The doctor will also go over a complete medical history with their patient. “My patients have two consultations before any surgery. We always screen for medical problems, and it’s all about safety first,” Dr. Fox says.

46 Winter 2019-2020 / TodaysTransitionsNow.com

After a solid plan is established, an individual is ready for the procedure that will fulfill her needs and fit in best with her lifestyle. Dr. Chet Mays, a plastic surgeon with CaloAesthetics Plastic Surgery Center, says, “We’re feeling good and living longer, and everything we do here is to complement a person’s lifestyle. I find joy in helping patients look as young as they feel.”

1. GET LIFTED For some, looking as young as they feel means a full facelift. “Surgery is the treatment for loss of elasticity, and that’s when we do our facelifts. The surgery takes approximately three and a half hours, and we’re turning that clock back 10-15 years,” Dr. Chet Mays says.

A facelift will vary from person to person Dr. Fox points out, “Plastic surgeons have learned how to customize facelifts. It’s not one size fits all.” The typical downtime is about six weeks with no heavy lifting for three to four weeks. There will be some bruising and swelling initially. The out-of-pocket cost (which includes surgeon, facility, anesthesia fees, etc.) ranges from $12,000-$15,000.

2. OPEN YOUR EYES There are, of course, some men and women who seek out smaller procedures like an upper eyelid tuck. This is for individuals who feel their eyes look “droopy” or “sleepy.” The full procedure generally takes 30 to 45 minutes to complete, and Dr. Fox remarks, “The eye-lid surgery is very common, and in some cases it’s covered by insurance because of a visual field defect.”

Dr. Rana Mays explains, “The eyelid procedure is when we remove the excess skin on the eyelid, because as we age that skin loosens and becomes more lax. It’s done under local numbing in the office, so a patient doesn’t have to undergo anesthesia.”

There will be stitches that come out in five to seven days, and a person should

expect a little bruising. The cost runs from $3,000-$5,000.

Once complete, the eyelids are lifted, giving an individual a more refreshed and “awake” look.

3. SAVE YOUR NECK In that first doctor consult, a neck lift might be discussed.

“There are people who just have isolated excess neck skin, and we deal with that in a targeted way,” Dr. Fox says. This type of surgery “is for a patient who has a little extra skin that they don’t like and we’re going in and tightening,” says Dr. Chet Mays. The price range is $8,000-$11,000, and the recovery time is six weeks.

There are stitches behind the ear for one week.

4. GET RID OF SCARS When you’re looking for the right aesthetic procedure, Dr. Rana Mays says, “It’s a balance of what you want to gain for your self confidence and looking your best.” This is why removing facial scars can be a big confidence booster. Dr. Fox says, “Plastic

“It’s a balance of what you want to gain for your self confidence and looking your best.”

- Dr. Rana Mays surgeons use our knowledge of healing to convert visible scars into less visible scars.

That may involve a variety of techniques including lasers, traditional surgery, or an array of non-invasive devices.”

48 Winter 2019-2020 / TodaysTransitionsNow.com

“We’re really more in tune with what we look like,” Dr. Chet Mays says. In the end, there’s no magic mirror that can say when a person is ready to alter the signs of aging they see. Dr. Rana Mays says, “There’s no right or perfect time. It’s all about when a person starts being bothered by something.”

If seeking a physician to assist in a cosmetic desire becomes a goal, Dr. Fox says, “It’s not a frivolous thing. If somebody feels better and it raises their self-esteem and they become more confident… they have a higher quality of life.”

CHOOSE YOUR DOCTOR WISELY

Once an individual becomes interested in exploring anti-aging procedures, finding an appropriate doctor is a key step.

Dr. Rana Mays of Mays Dermatology says, “Please do your research about your practitioner and make sure they’re a board-certified physician.” Gathering recommendations from friends and doing some online investigation are ways to gain referrals needed to schedule an initial consult with a plastic surgeon or dermatologist.

little know-how and a little practice to complete the project. There is definitely a sense of satisfaction upon completion,” he says.

Ted has been involved in shows and exhibits at the Smithsonian Museum, the Philadelphia Museum of American Arts, and galleries in France, Germany, and Great Britain. “For years I did fine furniture design and commission work, but I am not seeking that now. I'm just interested in teaching the classes and passing along what I know.

“For me, the appeal of woodworking is about making something by hand. The end result is fleeting in that the student takes his or her project home or a client whose commission I created takes that piece. So it can’t be about the end result.

It is the process that I enjoy.”

The Mentee

L

ouie Prestigiacomo is no stranger to power tools and sawdust, but his connection to those came through remodeling projects and carpentry, not the fine woodworking skills that he has learned from taking “I END WITH classes from Ted Harlan.

SOMETHING I CAN “I own a Shopsmith tool, which doubles as a KEEP THAT I MADE lathe, table saw, sander, WITH MY OWN and drill press and used HANDS.” it to work on some of my own projects. In the back of my mind I thought I wanted to learn how to build furniture. I was introduced to Ted Harlan and his woodworking classes by my cousin.

“I signed up for the basic class. It was intense, and I learned about the grain and how when you cut a piece of wood you have to be aware of how the wood is going to change. The first project started with a chunk of wood that was maybe 20x4x12 inches. We cut it into slices, which then became the top and the legs of an occasional table.” The artistic part Louie says comes with creating patterns by the way you lay out the pieces and position the grain.

Louie, who retired from a career in information technology from AT&T, says it helped that before taking the class he was familiar with some of the tools Louie Prestigiacomo and terms.

Louie volunteers with Habitat for “I learned a lot from Ted about the Humanity and is working on his 12th hand tools you use and how to sharpen house for the organization. “I had a them. In that first class I made a table mentor at Habitat who was really good out of cherry wood. In the second and taught me a lot.

with Ted and has her own woodworking company and also offers classes. She works with a lathe literally ‘turning’ a piece of wood into a decorative or utilitarian piece. Louie says he has learned from her as well.

“The first thing I created in Amanda’s class was a wood mallet. The head and the handle were fashioned out of one piece of wood. I've also made six or seven decorative bowls. This was the first time I had used a lathe.

“I would definitely take any of the classes again,” Louie says. “I can only learn more. Plus, I end with something I can keep that I made with my own hands. Working with the wood and hand tools is a meditation of sorts — concentrating on one particular thing for a while. It forces me to focus.”

Caregiver Circle

By Tiffany White

Practical solutions for making caregiving easier.

Caregiver Tip

If your loved one has dementia and isn’t eating regularly, Sheila Carter, president of Heartsong Memory Care, suggests trying this simple solution: “Buy high protein shakes (nutritional supplements), protein snack bars, small nutritional snacks such as cheese cubes, nuts, and sandwiches.” Sheila suggests placing snacks in baggies and writing the date on them to alert you to when the food should be discarded.

Best Advice

“I remember caring for my mother and father along with balancing my own family and full-time job. I learned not to feel guilty and inadequate when things didn’t go quite the way I would’ve liked. Caregiving can be very stressful. You tend to think about what isn’t going well. I encourage you to take heart and know you are giving honor and love to the family member you are caring for. Surround yourself with positive people, take time to participate in personal activities, educate yourself on the best and easiest practices, and be willing to use home care services to supplement your care and give you some respite.

A combination of giving personal hands-on care and engaging others to help with care is usually healthiest and most fulfilling both for you and your loved one.”

— Kayla Cook, RN, owner of Caring Excellence Personalized Home Care Services

FIVE TIPS for STAYING SAFE AT HOME • Remove all throw rugs.

• Remove electrical cords and clear all walkways in the home.

• Use no-slip swim shoes for the shower.

• Use bright tape on steps to help with depth perception.

• Install a wireless security camera so that the family can observe the environment when a loved one is alone at home.

— Kayla Cook, RN, owner of Caring Excellence Personalized Home Care Services 56 Winter 2019-2020 / TodaysTransitionsNow.com

An Easy Way to Make New Friends

Combating loneliness is difficult for seniors whose social circles have become smaller. “Get them involved in an adult day program. This provides them with structure, something meaningful to do to break up their day, physical exercise, socialization, a nutritious meal, and mental stimulation. It’s also beneficial mentally and physically for the caregiver.”

— Sheila Carter, president of Heartsong Memory Care

Create a No-Fall Zone

“Use a non-skid mat in the shower with a portable shower chair and a raised toilet seat with arms as needed. Night lights are important to give good visibility when up at night or going to the bathroom.

Attach a removable side rail to the bed and consider purchasing a fall alert necklace.”

— Kayla Cook, RN, owner of Caring Excellence Personalized Home Care Services

Home Health Care refers to care provided in a person’s home. Medical Home Health Care is a licensed level of care that provides nursing care and personal care. (These agencies also provide non-medical care.) Non-medical Home Health Care agencies in Kentucky must be certified. Agencies in Indiana must be licensed. They can assist with the self-administration of medications or treatments, provide limited personal care, serve as companions who prepare light meals and tidy homes, and may offer transportation or errand services.

Not To Miss Visiting Edna

Bunbury Theatre Edna has suffered losses as she has aged, and now faces a late-life cancer diagnosis. Edna's son, Andrew, is home for a visit. Together they try to bridge the gulf between the love they shared in his childhood, and the polite but baffling relationship they now live with. This in-your-face look at a strained mother + son relationship, combined with cancer trying to get the upper hand, comes from the imagination of the distinguished American playwright David Rabe.

Not To Miss

By Gioia Patton

Peter and the Wolf

Louisville Orchestra In 1936, Sergei Prokofiev was commissioned by the director of the Central Children’s Theatre in Moscow, to write a musical symphony for children, in which the narrator tells a children’s story, while the orchestra illustrates it. The intent was to introduce children to the individual instruments of the orchestra.

Each character of this tale is represented by a corresponding instrument in the orchestra: the bird by a flute, the duck by an oboe, the cat by a clarinet playing staccato in a low register, the grandfather by a bassoon, the wolf by three horns, Peter by the string quartet, the shooting of the hunters by the kettle drums and bass drum. The giant puppets of the Squallis Puppeteers join the Louisville Orchestra on stage for this production.

The Marriage of Figaro

Kentucky Opera Composed in 1786 by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, The Marriage of Figaro is an opera buffa (comic opera) in four acts. With a storyline that rivals the best of the best of American soap operas (revenge, disguise, love, trickery, + a wedding thrown in for good measure), to that end, the Arts Insider refers to this opera as ‘The Young & the Restless... put to music.’

Considered among many opera fans to be ‘the perfect opera.’ *Sung in Italian with English supertitles WHEN: February 14 at 8pm and February 16 at 2pm WHERE: The Brown Theatre TICKETS: start $85 CONTACT: kentuckycenter.org/presents, by phone 502.584.7777, 800.775.7777, and in-person at The Kentucky Center box office (walk up or drive-thru).

he summer after Karen Kremp turned 15, she met David Hougland at the community swimming pool in their neighborhood in Indianapolis. Karen recalls with a smile that the first thing she noticed about David was his height. At 5 feet 8 inches Karen was self-conscious about how tall she was since she had usually been the tallest in her class.

David easily towered over Karen at 6 feet 4 inches tall. Looking back, you could call the meeting David and Karen Hougland love at first height. Conversation between the teenagers came ferred to Erie, Pennsylvania, when the easily. David remembers that Karen couple’s first child was only 6 months was the only girl to talk to him that old.

David and Karen threw their energy whole-heartedly into fundraising for building a church that would eventually become St. Patrick’s. Karen and David made the church the center of their family, and Karen would eventually start a prayer blanket ministry there that is still thriving. David and Karen devoted a lot of time to leading young engaged couples in the marriage preparation required in the Catholic Church.

Karen advises young couples today to remember, “You are never too old to hold hands. It shows others that you face the world and its problems as one helping each other.”

In August 2019 David and Karen celebrated their 49th year of marriage.

For their 45th anniversary, they decided to watch the movie they saw on their first date together — Dr. Zhivago. They have already decided that on their 50th they will re-read the three years of letters they wrote each other before they married. They will celebrate surrounded by their three children plus spouses, and their grandchildren. The love that drew them together more than 50 years ago leaves a legacy of love that lives on through family.
