Dear Friends, 

Several of my friends are retiring this year. I’m 

very happy for them. Their excitement is almost 

tangible. They’ve put in long hours and years 

and now they are looking forward to some welldeserved 

time for themselves. 

What will they do? Will they travel or just stay at 

home? They will have more time for grandchildren 

and hobbies now. Some other friends and I are 

trying to help one of our friends try to decide what 

she wants to do when she retires this summer. 

Whenever we meet, we throw out ideas to her: 

Take up painting. Learn to play an instrument. 

Volunteer. The possibilities are vast, if not endless. 

Our underlying message is that just because she’s 

retiring, she doesn’t have to stop. She shouldn’t 

stop! Part Two of life can be every bit as fulfilling 

as Part One. Like a blank canvas or piece of paper, 

it’s yours to paint or write on it whatever you want. 

Make it big and bold and beautiful! 

Live life you mean it! 

Tanya

Age-Related Hearing Problems 

Disrupt Normal Activity 

Gradual onset commonly caused by 

changes in inner ear 

by Jean Jeffers, Staff Writer 

Hearing-related disorders occur 

more frequently as people age. 

Age-related hearing loss is the 

most common condition affecting 

seniors. Having trouble hearing can 

disrupt normal activity. The ability 

to hear a phone, a doorbell or a 

smoke alarm is important but being 

hard of hearing may impede it. 

Age-related hearing loss has a 

gradual onset. It usually occurs in 

both ears. Most commonly, it arises 

from changes in the inner ear 

as people age or because of some 

anomaly along the nerve pathways 

from the ear to the brain. Conditions 

frequently present in older 

adults, such as high blood pressure 

or diabetes, may contribute to 

hearing loss. Medications also 

could play a part. 

Other hearing problems include 

tinnitus, which is a ringing or hissing 

in one or both ears. This condition 

is often due to a tumor on 

a nerve, an obstruction in the ear 

canal, temporomandibular joint 

dysfunction or sinus pressure. 

Another hearing-related problem 

is otosclerosis. This occurs when 

abnormal bone remodels in the 

middle ear. It is a lifelong process 

in which the bone tissue renews 

itself by replacing old tissue with 

new tissue. Because it is abnormal, 

it disrupts sound’s ability to 

travel from the middle ear to the 

inner ear. It most often occurs 

when one of the bones of the 

middle ear becomes stuck in one 

place. This could be the result of 

an ear infection, stress fractures or 

an immune disorder, but its cause 

is basically unclear. Hearing loss 

is the most frequent 

symptom of otosclerosis. 

This loss 

may appear very 

gradually. Some 

people 

 

Don’t just Spring Clean 

your house. 

have dizziness, balance problems 

or tinnitus. Mild otosclerosis can 

be treated with a hearing aid but 

surgery is often required. 

Another hearing-related condition 

is a balance disorder. This 

makes the individual feel unsteady 

or dizzy. The person may feel as if 

he is moving, spinning or floating. 

It is believed that more than four 

out of 10 Americans will experience 

an episode of dizziness bad 

enough to make them seek medical 

help. 

Balance disorders can be caused 

by certain health conditions, 

medications or a problem with 

the inner ear or the brain. This 

condition can disrupt everyday 

activities, causing hardship and 

alarm. Symptoms include dizziness, 

falling, feeling as 

if you are going to fall, 

lightheadedness, 

blurred vision and 

confusion. There are 

more than a dozen 

different balance 

disorders. These include benign 

paroxysmal positional vertigo 

(BPPV), labyrinthitis, Meniere’s 

disease and vestibular neuritis. 

Balance problems are initially 

treated by determining if another 

health condition or a medication 

is to blame. Next, the doctor may 

recommend a series of movements 

to help dislodge the otoconia 

from the semicircular canals. 

If the patient is diagnosed with 

Meniere’s disease, recommendations 

may include changes to diet, 

stopping smoking and the use of 

anti-nausea medication. Sometimes 

antibiotics and corticosteroids 

are used. People with this 

disease need to take care while 

performing everyday activities 

such as driving, walking up and 

down stairs and exercising. 

Help is available through 

an otolaryngologist, an 

audiologist or a hearing-aid 

specialist.

occur as men age. Bladder cancer 

also becomes more common. The 

NIH encourages treatment for 

heart disease and diabetes that 

may prevent problems with urinary 

and sexual function. Healthy 

eating and exercise also helps 

promote healthy aging. 

SOURCES: 

National Institute on Aging, 

“Health and Aging: Can We Prevent 

Aging?” 

NIH Medline Plus: “Aging 

Changes to the Male Reproductive 

System” 

The Male Version of Menopause? 

Changes in aging men occur gradually 


Aging brings natural changes to 

the human body. In women, there 

is menopause. In men, there is 

andropause. 

Andropause is the term given 

to the condition of aging in a 

male. The National Institutes of 

Health (NIH) says men do not 

experience a major, rapid change 

in fertility as they age as women 

do with menopause. The changes 

in men occur more gradually. Testicular 

tissue mass decreases and 

testosterone, a hormone made in 

the testicles, decreases or stays the 

same. A man may have more of a 

problem getting an erection, and 

the process may be slower and less 

intense. Men continue to produce 

sperm, but the tubes carrying the 

sperm may become less elastic. 

The prostate enlarges with 

age as some of the prostate tissue 

is replaced with scar-like 

tissue, according to the NIH. 

This condition is called benign 

prostatic hypertrophy (BPH) and 

is a common health problem that 

affects about 50 percent of men. 

BPH may cause problems such as 

slowed urination and ejaculation. 

Fertility does not seem to be affected 

as men age. The volume of 

fluid ejaculated during sex remains 

the same as men get older, but 

there are fewer living sperm in the 

fluid. Men may have a lower sex 

drive (libido), and sexual responses 

may be slower. Age itself does 

not prevent a man from being able 

to enjoy sexual relationships, says 

the NIH. 

Testosterone levels naturally 

drop with age. According to the 

NIH, testosterone has the following 

benefits: 

1. Keeps bones and muscles 

strong. 

2. Determines hair growth and 

fat storage. 

3. Makes sperm. 

4. Maintains sex drive. 

5. Makes red blood cells. 

6. Boosts energy and mood. 

Symptoms of low testosterone 

include a diminished sex drive, 

problems having an erection, a 

low sperm count, sleep problems, 

a decrease in muscle size and 

strength, bone loss, an increase in 

body fat, depression and trouble 

concentrating. 

Hormone therapy in the form 

of a gel, patch, injection or implant 

may help low testosterone levels. 

Treatments such as these keep 

bones and muscles strong. It is unclear, 

however, whether hormone 

therapy is helpful for older men 

with low testosterone levels. 

Prostate cancer is more likely to

Legacy Reserve Invites You to 

Live the Elegant, Active Life 

An unrivaled senior living experience promoting 

maximum independence 

by Tanya J. Tyler, 

Editor/Staff Writer 

A new, distinctive 

senior living community 

is looming 

on Lexington’s horizon. Legacy 

Reserve at Fritz Farm is currently 

coming to life at the corner of Man 

o’ War Boulevard and Nicholasville 

Road, right across from the site of 

The Summit, a high-end shopping 

venue. It is scheduled to open in 

the spring of 2017. The community 

is managed by Atlas Senior Living. 

“We wanted to create a place 

where families could feel comfortable 

sending their loved ones,” said 

principal Scott Goldberg. “That is 

what we strive to do – create a safe 

and carefree environment where 

residents can continue to pursue 

life.” 

Legacy Reserve gives residents 

the opportunity to completely 

immerse themselves in a busy, 

fulfilling lifestyle with the numerous 

shops, restaurants and 

entertainment options available 

at The Summit and the surrounding 

area. 

“The location, we think, is optimal,” 

said Jacqueline Kennedy, 

Director of Sales and Marketing 

for Legacy Reserve. “We love the 

location due to the proximity to 

all the shopping and the social 

activities and the medical outlets. 

Everything is near. This is a community 

that we feel (suits) this 

vibrant group of seniors. People 

want that active lifestyle. They 

want to be engaged, they want to 

learn, and those are all things we 

want to nurture and encourage. 

We want to help residents thrive.” 

Legacy Reserve will offer a 

unique living experience for the 

astute, active senior. It features 

elegant apartment homes in a 

114-unit independent living community. 

A variety of floor plans 

include studio, one-bedroom and 

two-bedroom apartments, all 

of which have full kitchens and 

washer and dryer hook-ups. The 

community is pet friendly. 

Other amenities include upscale 

dining, a casual café, a sports 

bar, an indoor heated saltwater 

swimming pool – the only one in 

Lexington – a grand day spa for 

hair and nail appointments, a lush 

courtyard, a library and a fitness 

center. 

Three levels of care will make 

the transition from Independent 

Living to Personal Care to 

Memory Care seamless for Legacy 

Reserve’s residents and effortless 

for their families when and if it 

becomes necessary. The Personal 

Care and Memory Care levels 

will feature a pricing structure 

that includes all meals and snacks, 

housekeeping and assistance with 

activities of daily living. A 24-hour 

nursing staff will be available to 

oversee care and to assist residents 

with any needs. The Personal Care 

level will have 38 apartments and 

the memory care level will have 

15, allowing for a high level of 

customized individual attention. 

If a resident needs skilled care, 

Trilogy Health Services will be 

conveniently located on the same 

campus as Legacy Reserve. 

“In memory care, if you have 15 

residents, they’re all going to have 

15 different needs,” Kennedy said. 

“The small intimate size of our 

community is going to let us really 

get to know our residents better 

and provide the type of quality 

care they need.” 

Kennedy said the team being 

created for Legacy Reserve will 

be essential to the community’s 

success. 

“We really want our associates 

to not only meet but exceed the


9 

expectations of these seniors,” 

she said. “We want people that 

have that servant’s heart, that are 

going to have that passion for 

helping seniors. It takes a very 

unique individual to work with 

seniors and to be able to make a 

difference.” 

Legacy Reserve’s mission 

statement says it seeks to be “an 

unrivaled senior living experience 

through the delivery of our extraordinary 

services to residents 

in a refined environment promoting 

maximum independence.” 

“We want to be a place where 

we do promote maximum 

independence, where people can 

actually be more independent 

than in their own current setting,” 

Kennedy said. “We feel that with 

the services we’ll offer, people 

will have the freedom to enjoy 

life.” 

Legacy Reserve also wants to 

help residents stay involved in the 

Lexington community, whether 

it’s through volunteering or partaking 

in different local activities. 

“We free up some of their time 

to do that,” Kennedy said. “We’re 

going to clean your apartment, 

we’re going to make your food 

so you have more time to do 

whatever you want to do out in 

the community.” 

Legacy Reserve is setting a high 

standard for senior living options 

in Lexington. The goal is to be a 

place where families can gather 

and where friendships will blossom. 

“I’ve worked in senior housing 

for 25 years and this has been 

a unique experience to be able 

to craft what I feel people have 

told me over those years they’re 

looking for,” Kennedy said. “It’s 

been really exciting to help create 

the vision of Legacy Reserve at 

Fritz Farm. It’s an honor to help 

enhance people’s lives.” 

“We are so proud to be bringing 

this community to Lexington,” 

said Goldberg.

1956: 

Creation of the First 

Hard Disk 

The realization that memory could 

actually be stored magnetically 

was somewhat of a new idea...


1 1 

by Charles Sebastian, Staff Writer 

The year is 1956. The quest 

for a better and more capacious 

means of data storage has been 

the focus of many companies of 

the time. The realization that 

memory could actually be stored 

magnetically was somewhat of a 

new idea. The recording method 

was not unknown in the sense 

that celluloid and Bakelite had 

been able to capture images and 

sounds for a long time in a “play 

back exactly what you recorded” 

fashion. When magnetic strips 

were added to film in the late 

1920s, sound mixed with image 

was born. When The Jazz Singer 

starring Al Jolson first appeared 

in 1927, people were shocked 

and exhilarated that such a device 

could exist. 

The difference with International 

Business Machine’s (IBM) 

first model, the 305 RAMAC 

(Random Access Memory Accounting), 

was that it used a binary 

system of 1s and 0s for storing 

large amounts of pure data. 

This method was later shortened 

to Random Access Memory 

(RAM), which is what most of 

us are familiar with today. 

The big value of IBM’s September 

1956 achievement was 

that companies could store lots 

of data and eliminate the need 

for paper and the storage space 

to contain it. The other beneficial 

aspect was the immediate retrieval 

of information. This used 

to take days or weeks and cost a 

company a lot of money; it even 

led to bankruptcy in many cases. 

The information would be given 

to the person requesting it on 

either printed or punched cards. 

A film IBM produced at the time 

discusses the difficulty the company 

had getting the magnetic 

substance to stick and lay evenly 

so it could encode properly. Finally, 

one of the engineers came 

up with the idea of pouring the 

substance onto the disk while it 

was spinning like a record horizontally. 

You can view the short 

film at https://www.youtube. 

com/watch?v=6coKh7vtpsY. 

IBM went through many other 

models during the remainder of 

the 1950s while other companies 

tried desperately to jump on 

the bandwagon and be competitive. 

The models were finally 

discontinued in 1969 after they 

had gone through a great deal 

of streamlining. The actual 350 

body was huge, not something 

you would want in your living 

room. Like radios, televisions 

and other electronics, things 

kept getting smaller and easier 

for the public to use. When 

production of the 350 RAMAC 

ended in 1961, the world was 

already on its way to the smaller, 

more portable computers we 

have today. These computers 

all are rooted in the 305. It was 

one of the last vacuum-tube 

machines IBM built. As tubes 

went out of style and transistors 

came on board in the 1960s, 

many engineers and electricians 

had to make the jump into this 

new world, which allowed for 

many more possibilities: more 

data storage, faster movement of 

information and more compact 

structures. 

We would be in a much different 

world, one absent Bill Gates 

and Microsoft, one absent Steve 

Jobs and Apple, had IBM not 

launched this machine 60 

years ago. 

When magnetic 

strips were 

added to film in 

the late 1920s, 

sound mixed 

with image 

was born.

A Taste of Ireland 

TRY SOME AUTHENTIC DISHES FROM THE EMERALD ISLE 

Whether you want to plan 

something delightful for your next 

St. Patrick’s Day celebration or just 

want to enjoy a different kind of 

cuisine, you can’t go wrong with a 

taste of Ireland. 

While many so-called gourmets will turn 

up their noses at any cuisine that originates 

in the British Isles, the fact is no one outdoes 

the British when it comes to preparing a 

good stew. 

The reasons for this are both obvious and 

practical. In the cold, damp climate of the 

British Isles, the creation of a good, soulwarming 

stew has become an art form. 

Irish stew has nearly as many different 

versions as pasta sauce, so don’t feel bound 

to only use the ingredients listed here. 

Indeed, many versions of Irish stew lack 

peas, but I think they give the dish the 

appropriate touch of green. 

I include corned beef and cabbage here 

because eating these foods on St. Patrick’s 

Day is primarily an American, not an Irish, 

tradition. While the Irish do eat corned beef 

and cabbage sometimes, it’s not the national 

dish we Americans seem to feel it should be. 

But it’s certainly a tasty treat, whether on you 

eat it on March 17 or you just serve it as a 

cold winter dish to warm the heart. 

Of course, being part of the British Isles, 

fish is a big part of Ireland’s cuisine, so I’ve 

included a basic baked salmon recipe with 

these other samples from the Emerald Isle.

Frank 

Kourt 

the 

IRISH STEW 

• 2 lbs. potatoes, cut in 1/4-inch slices 

• 2 lbs. onions, cut in 1/4-inch slices 

• 3 lbs. boneless lamb, cubed 

• 2 tsp. salt 

• 1/2 tsp. pepper 

• 1 tsp. thyme 

• 1 tsp. dried parsley 

• 2 cloves garlic, chopped 

• Water to cover 

• 1/2 bag frozen peas 

In a casserole, arrange one layer of 

potatoes, then one layer of onions, 

then add the meat. Sprinkle with half 

of the salt, pepper, thyme and parsley. 

Sprinkle on half the garlic, then add 

another layer of onion and potatoes. 

Top with remaining salt, pepper, 

thyme, parsley and garlic. Add two to 

four cups of water, enough to come 

about 3/4 up the mixture. Bake, tightly 

covered, in a preheated 350-degree 

oven for an hour and a half. Add the 

peas, cover and continue to bake for 

about 10 more minutes. 

CORNED BEEF AND 

CABBAGE 

This method, using bacon grease, 

is from a recipe by that wonderful 

food guru James Beard. If you want to 

forego the bacon grease, just braise the 

cabbage in water, but be warned you’ll 

lose a lot of flavor. 

• 1 4-5 lb. lean corned beef brisket 

• 4 large onions, studded with 4 

whole cloves each 

• 2 lbs. carrots, peeled and cut into 

2-inch pieces 

• 1 stalk celery, cut into 2-inch pieces 

• 1 head cabbage, coarsely chopped 

• 6 medium potatoes, quartered 

• 2 cloves garlic, minced 

• 10 whole peppercorns 

• 4 T bacon fat 

Place corned beef in a deep kettle 

with enough water to cover. Bring to 

a boil, skim, then simmer, skimming 

again as needed, for about three hours. 

Add the onions, carrots and celery and 

continue to simmer. After about a half 

hour, add the cabbage, potatoes, garlic 

and peppercorns. Simmer for 30 more 

minutes. Drain the cabbage and remove 

to a large skillet and braise in the bacon 

fat for five to 10 minutes. Remove the 

beef and vegetables to a large platter and 

keep warm. When ready to serve, center 

the beef on the platter and surround it 

with the cabbage and vegetables. Serve 

with good dark Irish beer or stout. 

BAKED SALMON 

• 1 lb. salmon filets 

• 1/4 cup melted butter 

• 2 T lemon juice 

• 1 T dried dill weed 

• Salt and pepper to taste 

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Place 

the salmon in a lightly greased baking 

dish. Mix the melted butter and lemon 

juice together and stir in the additional 

ingredients. Brush the butter-lemon 

mixture over the fillets. Bake for about 

25 minutes, until the salmon easily flakes 

with a fork, brushing on any leftover 

butter mixture during the cooking. 

IRISH COFFEE 

Finally, for you traditionalists, here’s 

a great recipe for Irish coffee. You 

must promise to make it with real 

Irish whiskey, though. There’s a BIG 

difference! 

• 1 jigger Irish whiskey 

(Jameson, Bushmills, etc.) 

• 1-2 tsp. sugar 

• Freshly made hot coffee 

• Whipped cream 

Pour the whiskey and sugar into 

a mug. Add the coffee and stir well. 

Top with whipped cream and serve 

immediately.

The Connected Gadget 

by Doris Settles, Staff Writer 

Being connected, these days, 

seems to be where it’s at. If you 

don’t have a smartphone, you’re 

going to be left out in the cold 

when these new gadgets from the 

2016 Consumer Electronics Show 

reach the market. 

Imagine an umbrella that sends 

a text to your smartphone to 


Apps help you monitor your health, 

baby movements and more 

remind you to take it with you 

because it’s going to rain today. Or 

one that allows you to screw on 

your camera or GoPro to the top 

so you can video your bike ride 

or hike. Welcome Oombrella, an 

umbrella that does all that and 

more. 

Then get ready for portable virtual 

reality with the CandyShell 

Grip from case manufacturer 

Speck. Already certified to work 

with a number of the virtual 

reality apps and games available 

for your smartphone via the App 

Store and the Play Store, Speck 

has also partnered with another 

company to develop its own app. 

Monitor your vital statistics 

with a variety of new, wirelessly 

connected devices from Withings. 

Wrap a cuff around your upper 

arm and see your blood pressure 

and pulse magically appear 

on your phone via the Health 

Mate app. Better understand your 

heart health because the app 

will store all your blood pressure 

readings, sync with the Withings 

Health Cloud and create an 

easy-to-understand chart you can 

print or send to your doctor. 

1 3 

Withings’ new digital wireless 

thermometer, Thermo, is a game 

changer. Using a revolutionary 

HotSpotSensor Technology, a 

simple gesture yields the most 

precise temperature possible, and 

automatic Wi-Fi synced with the 

dedicated app allows you to track 

temperature readings, get reminders 

and input related symptoms/ 

medications right on your smartphone. 

And if you’re worried about 

those crow’s feet around or dark 

circles under your eyes, a new 

gizmo by FOREO is for you. According 

to FOREO’s website, this 

unique technology, proprietary 

to FOREO, was inspired by Asian 

fingertip-tapping eye massage. 

IRIS’ gentle pulsations, which are 

far more effective than manually 

massaging the eye contour, are 

available in two modes to replicate 

either a manual massage or a professional 

spa massage. 

Last but not least, if you’re 

worried about that absolutely 

perfect new addition to your family, 

Owlet monitors has created 

the Owlet Smart Sock. It features 

alarms that go off from either a 

base station or your phone and 

lets you know if your baby stops 

breathing by using pulse oximetry, 

the same technology hospitals use. 

Your smartphone app shows you 

the baby’s movements, pulse and 

blood O2 measurements, giving 

parents a better night’s sleep. 

So if you needed an incentive 

to get better connected with a 

smartphone, try one or more of 

these gadgets. And rest assured 

there will be more.

Living Well with 

Parkinson’s Disease 

There are many ways to 

cope with a chronic condition 

by Lisa M. Petsche, Staff Writer 

Parkinson’s disease is a chronic, 

progressive disorder involving 

damage to nerve cells in the brain 

that control muscle movement. According 

to the National Parkinson 

Foundation, 1.5 million Americans 

currently have the disease and approximately 

60,000 new cases are 

diagnosed each year. The majority 

of cases develop after age 60. 

The main symptoms of Parkinson’s 

are shaking or tremors, slow 

movements, rigidity and balance 

problems. Other symptoms include 

low energy, loss of coordination, 

loss of facial expression, 

difficulty initiating or continuing 

movement (“freezing”), stooped 

posture, a shuffling walk, decreased 

speech volume and depression. 

Early symptoms are subtle and 

might be difficult to detect. 

While no cure exists, medications 

that alleviate the symptoms 

are available. In cases where medication 

doesn’t work, surgery may 

be considered. Lifestyle modifications 

are an important part of any 

treatment plan. 

Upon diagnosis of a degenerative 

condition such as Parkinson’s, 

patients typically experience shock 

or disbelief. Once they accept the 

reality of the disease, they can focus 

on taking control of their situation. 

If you have been diagnosed with 

Parkinson’s disease, here are ways 

to empower yourself. 

Mental Well-Being 

• Learn all you can about Parkinson’s 

and educate others. 

• Allow yourself plenty of time to 

adjust to your situation. 

• Find role models: people who 

are living well with PD, from 

whom you can draw inspiration. 

• Accept that how you feel and 

what you can do will fluctuate, so 

be flexible with plans. 

• Be open to learning new ways of 

doing things. 

• Keep a positive attitude. Concentrate 

on what you can do 

rather than what you can’t. Don’t 

let your disease define you. 

• Enjoy life’s many simple pleasures. 

• Stay connected to people who 

care. Let them know how you 

wish to be treated and keep the 

lines of communication open. 

• Find an outlet for expressing 

your thoughts and feelings. Consider 

attending a support group. 

• See your primary physician if 

you continually feel sad, angry, 

overwhelmed or unmotivated. 

• Set aside quiet time each day to 

nurture your spirituality. 

• Do things that provide you with 

meaning and purpose, such as 

helping others. 

• Turn to your faith for comfort. 

Pray for the strength to face challenges 

with courage and grace. 

Tips for Daily Living 

Because Parkinson’s is incurable, 

the goal, from a medical perspective, 

is to achieve the highest possible 

level of functioning and prevent 

or minimize complications. The 

following strategies can help: 

• Find a neurologist whom you respect 

and trust who has expertise 

in Parkinson’s. 

• Follow the prescribed management 

plan, which might include 

medication, diet changes, exercise, 

rest, adaptive aids, stress 

management techniques and 

regular check-ups. 

• Because treatment (especially 

medication dosing and scheduling) 

is individualized, it may 

involve trial and error, so be 

patient. 

• Join an exercise class for people 

with Parkinson’s. To locate one 

in your area, call the American 

Parkinson Disease Association at 

1-800-223-2732 or go to www. 

apdaparkinson.org. 

• Use a cane or walker when 

recommended to minimize the 

risk of falls. If mobility issues 

prevent you from getting around 

in the community, rent or buy a 

scooter or wheelchair. 

• Set up a record-keeping system 

to organize your health information. 

Ready-made products can 

be found at bookstores. 

• Do as much for yourself as 

possible. Set priorities, simplify 

tasks and learn to settle for less 

than perfection. 

• Find substitutes for enjoyable activities 

you can no longer engage 

in. Just don’t overdo it. 

• Make your home as safe as possible. 

• Accept offers of help and ask for 

assistance as needed.

Effective Communication 

Strategies 

Communication is more than 

just talking and listening – it’s 

also about sending and receiving 

messages through attitude, tone 

of voice, facial expressions, 

and body language. As people 

with Alzheimer’s disease and 

other dementias progress in 

their journey and the ability to 

use words is lost, families need 

new ways to connect. Join us 

to explore how communication 

takes place when someone has 

Alzheimer’s, learn to decode 

the verbal and behavioral 

messages delivered by someone 

with dementia, and identify 

strategies to help you connect 

and communicate at each stage 

of the disease. The program 

will take place at the Jessamine 

County Extension Office, 95 Park 

Drive, Nicholasville, KY. 40356, 

on June 1, 2016, from 10:30- 

11:30 a.m. To register for this 

program, please call 1-800-272- 

3900. Registration is required. 


Know the 10 Signs 

If you or someone you know is 

experiencing memory loss or 

behavioral changes, it’s time to 

learn the facts. Early detection 

of Alzheimer’s disease gives you 

a chance to begin drug therapy, 

enroll in clinical studies, and plan 

for the future. The program will 

take place at the Madison County 

Public Library, located at 507 

West Main Street, Richmond, KY 

40475, on Monday, June 6, from 

1:30-2:30 p.m. To register for 

this program, please call 1-800- 

272-3900. 


Family Caregiver 

Workshop 

This program is specialized for 

family caregivers and will offer 

information about Alzheimer’s 

disease and caregiving and will 

also provide an opportunity to 

reflect, regenerate, and gain 

a new perspective on your 

caregiving issues. Local and 

statewide experts who specialize 

in aging and Alzheimer’s care 

will present topics that are 

valuable to family caregivers of 

persons with dementia. This 

training is designed specifically 

for family caregivers and is 

therefore not open to those who 

are professional caregivers. 

Workshop registration fee: $10 

(includes lunch). Registration is 

required; to register, call 1-800- 

272-3900. 9am–4pm Bluegrass 

Area Development District, 699 

Perimeter Drive, Lexington, KY 

40517. 


Annual ‘A Round to 

Remember’ Golf Classic 

The 5th annual A Round to 

Remember Golf Classic will 

be held Saturday, June 18 at 

the Connemara Golf Course in 

Nicholasville, Kentucky. This 

event is hosted by local golfer 

Paul Bimschleger and his 

children – Dave, Curt and Chris 

Bimschleger. The Bimschleger 

family has raised over $118,000 

for the Alzheimer’s Association in 

honor of Paul’s wife, Patricia, who 

they lost to Alzheimer’s disease 

in 2011. “The Bimschleger 

family became involved with the 

Alzheimer’s Association after our 

beloved mother passed away 

from Alzheimer’s after a seven 

year battle with this debilitating 

disease,” said Dave Bimschleger. 

“In memory of our mother, our 

family decided to initiate A Round 

to Remember Golf Classic. Our 

mother enjoyed golf and our 

family’s mission is to raise funds 

to be used to continue research 

to find a cure and to support 

families currently living with 

Alzheimer’s disease.”

This contrast in 

a relationship 

can actually be 

a benefit. 

Relationships: 

“Neatniks” vs. “Slobs” 

Should one try tidiness or should the 

other lighten up? 

by TaNiqua Ward, M.S., 

Staff Writer 

Everyone has different tolerance 

levels for messiness. One person 

thinks leaving one dirty dish in 

the sink constitutes a mess, but 

another person can go to sleep at 

night with a sink full of unwashed 

dishes. You may like to keep your 

bedroom clean but your partner 

doesn’t mind some clutter. Some 

people have a natural instinct for 

a clean environment while others 

are more careless about their 

surroundings. There is a constant 

battle whether someone who is 

messy should make an effort to 

be tidy or if someone who is tidy 

should lighten up and start to be 

more carefree. 

Unfortunately, there is no 

direct answer about who should 

change their habits. “Neatniks” 

have their own way of life just as 

“slobs” do. According to The Wall 

Street Journal, both suffer from 

a need for control. Neatniks say 

they need order and everything 

should be in its place. Slobs, on 

the other hand, don’t like someone 

else having control over them. 

Yet they may feel guilty they aren’t 

neat and resentful that someone 

is demanding that they should be. 

This contrast in a relationship can 

actually be a benefit because the 

conflicting parties can learn to accept 

each another and their faults. 

There are ways to compromise 

to make life easier and more 

comfortable for both neatniks and 

slobs – to find a balance between 

the two. You can: 

• Communicate. Make sure you 

set guidelines and boundaries 

together. Be sure to discuss with 

one another any problems that 

may arise. Also, be willing to negotiate 

and find a compromise 

in all situations. 

• Designate Set Areas. Allow 

certain areas in the house to be 

a little bit messier, such as the 

bedroom. Designate the kitchen 

and the living room as clean 

areas in case you have company. 

• Cleaning Days. Choose at least 

one day a week to clean (and do 

it together). Sundays are a great 

day to clean the entire house 

and have everything in order for 

the new week. 

• Focus on Your Relationship. 

The most important thing 

should always be the relationship. 

Make time to focus on one 

another and the reasons why 

you are together. 

In their book The Odd Couple 

Syndrome: Resolving the Neat/ 

Sloppy Dilemma, Selwyn Mills 

and Max Weisser cited a study 

that found 80 percent of people 

who are left brained consider 

themselves neat, while 75 percent 

of right-brain individuals consider 

themselves slobs. The left 

and right sides of the brain are 

attracted to each other based on 

strengths and weaknesses. The 

left side of the brain is said to be 

responsible for functions such as 

rational thinking while the right 

side is said to be the center of 

creativity. The common saying 

that “opposites attract” is very 

true. Neatniks and slobs do not 

just lack luck in choosing a partner. 

The combination of neatniks 

and slobs pertains to the laws of 

attraction.

The Patient 

Advocate 

Professionals help 

families when loved 

ones are hospitalized 


Receiving health care today is 

a challenge. It often involves participation 

in a system that is time 

consuming and complicated. 

While there are many efforts today 

to simplify and safeguard this 

system from errors, nevertheless 

errors are made daily. Questions 

about practice are often lost in 

the asking, and patients are left to 

fend for themselves. 

But a new trend is emerging: 

the fast-growing field of patient 

advocacy. Formal programs are 

being developed for assisting patients 

with their medical needs 

and doing patient advocacy. 

Many patients and their families 

are hiring private professional 

health advocates (PPHAs). 

Many of these advocates are 

experienced RNs who guide the 

patient and family through the 

Yellow/ Wildcat Cab 

Now offering 

wheelchair accessible vans 

Since 1934 Yellow/Wildcat Cab has been growing with the community 

As always we are looking forward to serving you

confusion of modern healthcare. 

“The healthcare system has 

become so complex and profit 

driven, patients get lost in the 

shuffle,” said Toni Dreher, 

founder of North Shore Patient 

Advocates LLC (www.North- 

ShoreRN.com) in Chicago. “Up 

to 440,000 patients die in the 

hospital each year due to medical 

errors. Patients need someone 

knowledgeable speaking and 

watching out solely for them.” 

Some patient advocates offer 

medical assistance that requires 

knowledge of the health care system 

and a medical background. 

They are usually retired RNs and 

doctors or someone who has 

spent years in the medical field. 

There are, in addition, patient 

advocates who are employed by 

hospitals and others who help 

primarily with insurance and 

insurance filings. 

Dreher’s first attempt at advocating 

was in an intervention she 

made on behalf of her father-inlaw. 

Despite a life-threatening 

blood clot, the hospital that was 

treating him was set to release 

him. Dreher successfully intervened, 

but it made her wonder: 

What if he hadn’t had a nurse 

in the family watching out for 

him? Now well established in 

her business, Dreher uses a team 

approach to look out for patients 

during hospitalization. Her services 

include: 

• helping patients and their 

families become more 

knowledgeable about their 

diagnosis; 

• asking doctors questions a lay 


person wouldn’t know to ask; 

• getting all the facts; 

• researching all treatment options; 

• researching and identifying 

the best doctor, hospital and/ 

or nursing home for a patient; 

and 

• helping take care of insurance 

claims. 

If you are or a family member 

is hospitalized and you cannot 

hire a patient advocate, a family 

member may serve the purpose. 

Dreher offers the following tips 

for advocating for a sick family 

member: 

• Become proactive. Prepare a 

summary sheet for your loved 

one in advance, covering all 

health conditions, allergies 

and names of physicians, and 

keep a current list of medications 

so if the patient is hospitalized, 

there is a record. 

• Educate yourself about a 

loved one’s medical condition 

but choose your sources carefully. 

Talk with the patient’s 

family doctor and/or specialists 

if possible. 

• Consult the National Institute 

of Health (NIH) for information. 

• Choose all doctors carefully. 

Ask a trusted healthcare 

professional for a recommendation. 

• Try to avoid hospitalization, 

especially if the patient is 

elderly. 

In the event of hospitalization, 

Dreher says family advocates 

must:

Liberty Ridge 

SENIOR LIVING COMMUNITY 

‘KEEPING RESIDENTS COMFORTABLE AND 

HAPPY IN A FAITH-BASED ENVIRONMENT’ 

by Tanya J. Tyler, 

Editor/Staff Writer 

Liberty Ridge Senior 

Living Community is 

proud to be a ministry 

of Eastland Church of God. 

Located right next door to the 

church at 701 Liberty Ridge Lane, the 

community was established in 1999 to 

help meet Lexington’s growing need 

for high-quality, affordable housing 

senior housing. It offers a variety of 

lifestyle options, including independent 

living homes, assisted living 

apartments and a memory care neighborhood. 

Liberty Ridge is managed by 

SeniorLife Solutions, Inc., a professional 

management company with over 

18 years of experience in operating 

housing for the elderly, and is governed 

by a church board. 

“In the next three decades, we’re going 

to see an explosion of people that 

are graduating into that senior demographic,” 

said Barry Brinegar, Sales and 

Marketing Director. “So we’re going to 

come up on a time where there’s going 

to be so much more demand for senior 

services.” 

Liberty Ridge’s assisted living section 

opened in 2000 with 45 apartments. 

Twenty more apartments were added 

in 2003. Liberty Ridge is one of only 

three facilities in Lexington that is 

certified by the Commonwealth of 

Kentucky to provide assisted living 

services to residents. Included in 

assisted living are assistance with all 

activities of daily living, three meals a 

day, basic cable, weekly housekeeping 

and daily trash removal. The apartments 

have safety-equipped bathrooms 

with low-barrier walk-in showers and 

kitchenettes with small refrigerators 

and microwave ovens. Each apartment 

has an emergency response system to 

alert on-site staff any time, day or night, 

if the resident has an emergency. Small 

pets are welcome as long as they are 

housebroken, well-behaved and leashed 

when outside of the apartments. 

Because of the increased demand 

for care for people with memory 

disorders, Liberty Ridge recently converted 

a second section of the assisted 

living community into a secured 

memory care neighborhood with 12 

additional memory care apartments 

for a total of 19 apartments dedicated 

for those who need dementia care. 

“The folks that live in this secure 

neighborhood get a lot of personalized 

care and attention and are 

engaged with purposeful activities in 

the community room,” Brinegar said. 

“It’s a community model, so everyone 

eats together. And we use the Best 

Friends approach to Alzheimer’s 

care.” 

“The biggest thing in the memory 

care unit is it’s a much smaller staffto-resident 

ratio, so we have one staff 

member for every four residents,” said 

Alexis Waugh, who works in sales and 

marketing at Liberty Ridge. “That way 

there’s a lot less frustration. The oneon-one 

attention really helps a lot.”


2 7 

Waugh said one of Liberty Ridge’s 

goals is to keep residents comfortable 

and happy in a faith-based environment. 

The staff is instrumental in 

meeting this goal. Extensive training 

enables caregivers to perform their duties 

in a way that promotes maximum 

independence, dignity and individual 

preference for residents. 

“One of our qualifications for working 

here is you must have a servant’s 

heart,” Waugh said. “It’s hard to come 

in here day after day and deal with 

people with memory loss. That does 

take a special kind of person. But we 

have people who come in here every 

day no matter what and they have a big 

smile on their faces, and our residents 

really appreciate that. We just have 

some of the greatest people with the 

biggest hearts.” 

In 2006, Easy Living Garden Homes 

were added to the neighborhood. 

These homes are geared for independent 

senior adults. 

“Most of the people that live in the 

garden homes are older,” Brinegar said. 

“They’re more independent. They 

typically will age in place there, but we 

do see some people that graduate over 

to assisted living and memory care.” If 

someone lives in a garden home, they 

automatically get priority to move into 

assisted living or memory care when 

necessary, and they get a 5-percent 

discount for life. 

The garden homes have 1,200 to 

1,300 square feet with two bathrooms, 

two bedrooms, a washer and dryer 

hook-up and a sunroom out back. Garden 

home residents have full access to 

the Liberty Ridge amenities. 

“They can come use the dining room 

whenever they like, and all the activities 

that we do for the assisted community, 

the independent living folks also 

join in on those,” Brinegar said. 

Being strongly faith-based is another 

aspect of Liberty Ridge that appeals to 

seniors who are considering moving 

there. 

“Residents don’t have to be a member 

of Eastland Church and they don’t 

have to be a Christian, but we don’t shy 

away from that faith-based perspective,” 

Brinegar said. 

A long-term master plan for Liberty 

Ridge includes the possibility of expanding 

the garden homes and making 

an addition to the assisted living facility 

to include luxury apartments and a 

purpose-built memory care neighborhood, 

as well as a chapel. Currently, 

weekly worship services are held in the 

dining room. 

“We’re hoping eventually to provide 

nursing care and rehab on site, so if 

we did that we would certainly see the 

need to expand,” Brinegar said. 

Liberty Ridge is a non-profit entity 

that is open to people of all faiths. For 

more information, call Brinegar at 

(859) 543-9449 to arrange a tour or

Free Knee Pain Screenings Offered To Help Determine If 

Lexington Area Residents Qualify For Popular Treatment 

Lexington area knee pain sufferers have limited time to claim knee pain screening to see if all-natural 

knee arthritis treatment might work for them 

If you qualify for this treatment, 

it might be one of the 

happiest days of your life. 

That’s because, for the past 

year and a half, hundreds of knee 

pain sufferers have flocked to 

Osteo Relief Institute located 

in Lexington, Kentuky. That’s 

when their specially trained doctors 

added Hyalgan treatments 

to their already successful and 

comprehensive knee pain relief 

program. 

Hyalgan is unique because - 

even though it is manufactured 

by a pharmaceutical company, 

it’s in NOT considered a drug 

because it is a natural substance 

with an incredible story. 

Why So Many Want It 

You see, when you suffer with 

arthritis - the lubricating fluid 

(synovial fluid) in your knee 

joint dries up. 

This means instead of gliding 

smoothly - your bones start to 

rub and grind against each other. 

This causes a little pain in 

the beginning - but over time the 

pain steadily gets worse until it is 

excruciating. 

Like “Joint Oil” 

Hyalgan works so well 

because it is like “joint oil.” It is 

a natural substance that contains 

one of the natural building 

blocks of the synovial fluid that 

lubricates your knee. 

Scientists and researchers 

discovered this natural building 

block to synovial fluid in 

the rooster’s comb - that big 

red thing on top of the roosters 

head. It is extracted from 

the roosters comb, purified and 

concentrated. 

When it is injected directly 

into your knee joint, it is like 

squirting oil on a rusty door 

hinge. 

Hyalgan allows your joints to 

glide more smoothly eliminating 

a lot of the rubbing, grinding and 

pain. 

Can Supplements Do 

The Same Thing? 

No. Glucosamine and chondroitin 

and other supplements 

are much different. You can 

only get this from a doctor and 

it often helps knee pain sufferers 

who got limited or no success 

from glucosamine and chondroitin. 

Beware of unsubstantiated 

claims made by supplements to 

do what this advanced medical 

procedure does. 

Why You Should Try This 

Even If You’ve Already Had 

Similar Treatments Without 

results... 

“We have been able to help so 

many knee pain sufferers - even 

many who have already tried 

other injections like Synvisc, Supartz, 

Orthovisc and even Hyalgan. 

We use specail and very 

advanced advanced low-dose 

video flouroscopy imaging called 

“Hologic Digital Imaging” so 

we can see right into the joint. 

This allows us to put the Hyaglan 

exactly where is needs to 

be. Studies show doctors doing 

joint injections without flouroscopy 

miss the joint up to 30% of 

the time.” said the head 

of Arthritis Treatment at 

Osteorelief Institute. 

OsteoRelief Institute 

is a state of the art medical 

facility offering only 

the best technology. 

And that’s not all 

- OsteoRelief Institute 

has a complete knee 

relief program called 

“P.A.C.E.” to make sure 

you get the most pain relief 

and the best possible 

results from treatment. 

“Every case is individual. 

Some patients get 

quite a bit of relief right 

away - others take a little 

more time. But most 

have been extremely happy 

and the results usually last for 

at least 6 months. Patients who 

were suffering for years with bad 

knee pain are getting their lives 

back... going for walks again 

and exercising. It’s amazing to 

see. They tell all their friends 

- that’s why we are swarmed. I 

can’t tell you how many patients 

have cancelled their total knee 

replacement surgeries.” added 

one of the doctors. 

How To Get It 

If you have knee pain, the doctors 

would like to invite you for 

a risk free screening to see if you 

are a candidate for Hyalgan treatments 

and the P.A.C.E program. 

Advanced Medical Technology Can Make All The 

Difference: This advanced digital imaging called a 

C-arm allows doctors to see directly into the knee joint 

so treatments are precise and the Hyalgan actually 

goes where it is supposed to. Studies show that injections 

done without digital imaging can miss the joint 

up to 30% of the time. This is one reason Hyalgan or 

other Viscosupplementation may not have worked for 

you. OsteoRelief Institute uses this C-arm for every 

Hyalgan treatment. 

All you have to do is call 859-898-0652 

right now and when the scheduling specialist 

answers the phone tell her you would like 

your risk free “Knee Pain Screening.” The 

specialists at OsteoRelief Institute can only 

accept a limited amount of new patients each 

month for this screening - so if you are interested 

please call now. Your risk free screening 

will only take about 25-30 minutes... you 

will get all your questions answered and leave 

knowing if you have possibly found the solution 

to your knee pain. 

And here’s something really important - 

Hyalgan treatments and the P.A.C.E program 

are covered by most insurance and Medicare. 

To schedule your screening today call 859- 

898-0652. 

If You Can Answer Yes - You Are 

Eligible For A Knee Arthritis 

Screening With The Experts At 

Osteo Relief Institute 

Do you have pain and oteoarthritis 

(arthritis) of the the knee? 

Have you tried other treatments 

such as NSAIDS and other antiinflamatory 

medications without 

success? 

Everyone Wants Proof: 

In the artist simulated 

drawings above, picture 

#1 is a normal, pain-free 

knee. There is no arthritis 

and the knee can 

move and bend freely 

without pain. 

Pain - above is a 

knee joint with painful 

osteo-arthritis. Arthritis 

causes the joint space 

to decrease, grinding, 

stiffness, decreased 

motion, bone spurs, 

swelling and a lot of 

pain. 

Successful Treatment 

- Hyalgan (blue) being 

precisely injected directly 

into the knee joint using 

Hologic digital imaging. 

Advanced imaging allows 

treatments to be as precise 

as possible. Hyalgan 

can lubricate the joint 

and decrease pain. 

Failed Treatment - the 

injection (and Hyalgan) 

misses the joint space. 

Research shows this 

occurs up to 30% of the 

time without the use of 

Hologic digital imaging to 

guide the injection. This 

is why Hyalgan may not 

have worked for you. 

Have you already tried viscosupplementation 

(Hyalgan, Suparz, 

Synvisc) without satisfactory 

results? 

If you answered yes to any of these 

questions - give OsteoRelief Institute a 

call and schedule your risk free knee pain 

screening 859-898-0652

Never are we more aware of 

money issues than when we are 

nearing or in our retirement years. 

Whether we’ve been religiously 

saving for retirement or not, we’re 

all thankful when we are able to 

spend less on things we want. Here 

are some tips to help you do just 

that: 


TOP TEN 

Money-Saving Tips 

Savvy consumers keep their 

eyes open for ways to save 

1. Put electronics and appliances 

on surge protector strips and turn 

everything off with one switch for 

vacations or when they’re not in 

use. 

2. Every community has lots 

of free events. Take advantage of 

them. 

3. As families grow, gift giving 

can get out of hand. Discuss drawing 

names or limiting spending. 

4. Keep your tires properly 

inflated. For every two PSI of air 

pressure under the recommended 

level in your tires, you lose 1 percent 

on your gas mileage. 

5. Put television subscriptions 

such as Netflix, Sling and the like 

on hold when you are away. 

6. Reduce cell data use and 

therefore your cell phone bills. Use 

wireless when possible, and turn 

3 1 

off the data streaming unless you 

absolutely need it. 

7. Compare prices online and 

in bricks-and-mortar stores before 

buying. 

8. Tuck tomato, pepper, cabbage 

or lettuces among your flowering 

landscape plants, and eat fresher, 

cleaner – and free. 

9. Eat out one less time per 

month. It quickly adds up. 

10. If you get your gas at Kroger, 

buy gift cards for stores where you 

shop during the store’s regular 4X 

fuel points promotions. If you get 

$100 in gift cards, that equals 40 

cents off per gallon. 

There are many ways to save a 

dollar or two all around us. All we 

have to do as savvy consumers is to 

keep our eyes and ears open and be 

willing to invest some time and effort 

into taking advantage of them.

to save a dollar or 

two all around us.
