KYCO poster highlights eye care

PIKEVILLE — Roya Attar, O.D., assistant clinical professor and director of professional relations for the University of Pikeville-Kentucky College of Optometry (KYCO), recently presented a poster at the 2016 American Academy of Optometry (AAO) in Anaheim, Calif. Internationally recognized, the AAO meeting brings together some of the best and brightest optometrists from around the world to provide continuing education, present scientific posters, encourage leadership within the profession and discuss optometric education of the Dr. Attar future. Attar’s poster, “Optometric Healthcare in Rural Appalachia,” focuses on the need for eye care in rural Appalachia. The research points to the challenges in vision care in rural areas including poverty, lack of transportation, lack of education, inconsistent healthcare coverage and healthcare providers’ lack of desire to practice in rural and outreach regions. The National Rural Health Association asserts that limits in access to eye care services for Americans living in rural areas is due to a lack of optometrists. The poster also highlights positive effects on healthcare and access the university’s Kentucky College of Osteopathic Medicine has had on rural areas of Kentucky since its establishment and projects KYCO will have a

Three receive Above and Beyond awards

PIKEVILLE — A woman who has spearheaded the distribution of 42,000 coats for needy kids, a man who has voluntarily kept ball game stats since 1978, and a teacher who has served students for 26 years were honored with Above and Beyond Awards at the January Meeting of the Pike County Board of Education. Superintendent Reed Adkins presented Shirley Blackburn, local real estate firm owner, with an award for her “mission” of keeping children warm with new coats. Blackburn began the “Coats for Kids” Program 14 years ago after being touched by a presentation at a Rotary Club meeting by then Pike Head Start Program Director Gerri Kinder. She said she immediately felt it was her mission to do something. Initially distributing 200 coats that first year, the program has grown to give students approximately 3,000 new coats in 2016. She estimated that 42,000 coats have been given away over the 14-year program. All Head Start students are given a coat, “along with their brothers and sisters.” If any coats are left, five students from upper grades are given coats. If still more are left, then the coats are given to needy children in surrounding counties. Blackburn stressed that many volunteers and donators help with the program. Bennett West, a retired teacher and academic coach at Belfry High, has been keeping statistics for ball games beginning in 1978 with boys’ basketball. He began girls’ basketball in 2000, baseball in 2001 and since 2005 has kept softball and soccer stats. He has kept stats at 3,054 ball games. Superintendent Adkins, however, suspects he has actually done many more, since he only counts the ones the KHSAA does. In addition, he is very patriotic. He has purchased flag poles and flags for several locations at the school. Current Valley Principal Jimmy Tackett and Former Valley and G.F. Johnson Principal Freddie Bowling both sang the praises of Suzanne Tackett, the recipient of the Above and Beyond Award for Certified Personnel. Tackett has taught for 26 years at G.F. Johnson and then at Valley, which consolidated G.F. with two other schools. Jimmy Tackett said Ms. Tackett is “one of a kind,” who serves as academic and spelling coach. Gifted and Talented Coordinator, been a member of the Site Based Decision Making Council and served in leadership positions at the school and with the Pike County Education Association. Bowling said Tackett was his “go-to” teacher whenever he needed anything done. He also noted that her test scores were among the top in the state.

Dr. Gallion encourages women to get cervical screenings

BY AMY CHARLES For The Medical Leader

During Cervical Cancer Awareness Month, Pikeville Medical Center (PMC) encourages all women to get cervical screenings and take appropriate measures to maintain their cervical health. Cervical cancer is almost always caused by the human papilloma virus (HPV). The Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) reports that HPV is the most common sexually transmitted Dr. Gallion infection in the United States and is passed from one person to another during sex. It is so common that nearly all sexually active men and women get it at some point in their lives. HPV does not usually have any symptoms and typically goes away on its own. Sometimes the virus becomes a persistent infection and can lead to

cervical cancer. Cervical cancer begins in the cells of the cervix and develops when abnormal cells on the cervix grow out of control. Women with cervical cancer rarely experience symptoms until the cancer is in the advanced stages and is harder to treat. When the symptoms are present they may include pelvic pain, vaginal bleeding after intercourse, bleeding between periods or after menopause, watery or bloody discharge that my be heavy or have a foul odor. Dr. Holly Gallion, PMC Gynecological Oncologist advises women who experience any of these symptoms to make an appointment with their physician as soon as possible. The HPV vaccine is available to protect against the types of HPV that most often cause cervical, vaginal, anal, penile and vulvar cancers. “The HPV vaccine is very effective in preventing precancer and cancer of the cervix,” said Dr. Gallion. “It is recommended for preteens boys and girls aged 11 to 12 years, but can be given as early as age nine.” A total of three vaccinations over a

period of six months is most effective. “The CDC and the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) have monitored the safety of over 57 million doses of administered vaccine,” said Dr. Gallion, “and no safety concerns have

been identified.” Cervical cancer is highly preventable with regular pelvic exams and pap smear screenings.

Glaucoma: ‘The sneak thief of sight’ BY KATHY ATKINS For The Medical Leader

January is National Glaucoma Awareness Month, and Pikeville Medical Center’s (PMC) Ophthalmologists Keith Ison, DO, and Kay Hazelett, MD, encourage everyone to be proactive when it comes to the health of their eyes. Glaucoma is called “the sneak thief of sight” because it does not display symptoms until there is extensive vision loss. Once vision is lost, it is permanent. According to Mayo Clinic, glaucoma is a group of eye conditions that damage the optic nerve, which is vital to good vision. This damage is often

caused by an abnormally high pressure in the eye. The Glaucoma Research Foundation estimates that more than 3 million Americans have glaucoma but only half of those individuals know they have it. Although glaucoma can develop in anyone at any age, individuals who are more susceptible to developing glaucoma include those who are African American, Hispanic or Asian in ethnicity, are 60 years of age or older, have a family history of glaucoma, have been diagnosed with diabetes, have an injury to the eye or have nearsightedness (when one can see close objects clearly but objects further away seem blurry).

“Diagnosing glaucoma is based upon several tests,” said Dr. Hazelett. “One of the most common screening tests is measuring the pressure of the eye. The eye is dilated so the physician can see inside of the eye to look for other evidence of glaucoma damage.” The most common form of glaucoma, primary open-angle glaucoma, has no warning signs. The loss of peripheral vision is so gradual that individuals may not notice a change until the condition is at an advanced stage. The other type of glaucoma is angle closure glaucoma. Symptoms include: •Eye pain •Nausea and vomiting

•Sudden problems with vision (usually in low light) •Blurred vision •Halos around lights •Eye redness “The damage caused by glaucoma cannot be reversed but treatment can halt further vision loss,” said Dr. Ison. “Eye drops and oral medication can lower eye pressure. Laser therapy and surgery are also available to open areas in the eye to aid in drainage.” Even though there is no cure for glaucoma, regular eye exams can help with early diagnosis and may prevent blindness. For more information on glaucoma, call the PMC Clinic – 9th floor at 606218-2209.

Pikeville Medical Center observes National CRNA Week BY AMANDA JO LAWSON For The Medical Leader

Pikeville Medical Center (PMC) is recognizing Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetists (CRNAs) for National CRNA week Jan 22- 28. CRNA week is a national observance that educates the public on how they make a difference to their patients and the U.S. healthcare system. CRNA’s are dedicated to care for pa-

tients before, during and after surgery. CRNAs stay with patients throughout their procedure to ensure the safest anesthesia experience possible. PMC employs highly educated and skilled anesthesia experts. The annual celebration of anesthesia patient safety and the nation’s 50,000+ Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetists and student registered nurse anesthetists who safely and cost-effectively provide approximately 43 million

anesthetics each year. Every day, CRNAs deliver essential healthcare in thousands of communities. CRNAs provide patient-centered, holistic pain management and anesthesia care. For CRNAs, it is both their profession and passion. CRNAs work in practice settings including rural and military to provide safe and effective anesthesia for pa-

tients. Currently, PMC employs approximately 32 CRNAs. “Our patients and their safe journey through surgery is our priority,” said Jamie Martin, CRNA at PMC. “It’s an honor to care for our patients during a vulnerable time in their life and practice safe and effective anesthesia care for all patients at PMC.”

WOMEN / FROM 2 The American Cancer Society reports that the rate of cancer deaths caused by cervical cancer has gone down by 50 percent over the last 30 years. The main reason for this change is the increased use of screening tests. A screening can find changes in the cervix before cancer develops. It can also find cervical cancer early, when it’s small and has not spread. This is when it is easiest to cure. “At 25 years of age, women should begin receiving annual pap smear screenings and these should continue until at least age 65,” said Dr. Gallion. “In women who have never had an abnormal pap smear test, screenings can be done every three years, and even every five years if HPV testing is also done and is normal,” Dr. Gallion explained. Screenings must be done more frequently in women who have had abnormal pap smear tests. Dr. Gallion continued, “The majority of cervical cancer cases occur in women who are never or rarely screened with pap smears, or who had abnormal pap smears and did not get adequate follow-up care.” PMC pediatricians and gynecologists are accepting new patients and offer the HPV vaccine to patients who are eligible. To make an appointment call 606218-2207.

HOME PAGE: CC Belle opens third location in Pikeville

BY ABIGAIL GIBSON Staff Writer PIKEVILLE – In June 2013, CC Belle was established by owner Amanda Swiney, a Pike County native. Swiney said she embarked on this journey three year ago due to the loss of her sister, Crystal (CC). This was never a plan, never a dream and never anything I intended to do, she said. “I was at a loss for words then I lost my sister and I certainly did not know what to do. But, I knew I had to do something,” said Swiney. “57 days after my sister passed I literally got up in the middle of the night and just started ordering clothes. The busier I stayed, the better off I was.” After ordering the clothing Swiney and her family began hosting home parties. For a year, they held about 5-6 home parties a week. Swiney opened the first CC Belle store in Jefferson City, Tenn., which they quickly outgrew. “We hope CC Belle brings a smile to your face. CC Belle is more about

giving back to the community,” said Swiney. Swiney said she is excited to give something back to her home town in the form of CC Belle. The store gives off a bohemian vibe. They offer unique women’s and children’s clothing and accessories. CC Belle opened its 3rd location in Pikeville on Nov. 19, 2016. “We have always wanted a store in our home town. It felt like everything came full circle when we had the opportunity,” she said. CC Belle has built itself, the customers have been the main contributors to marketing for the store said Swiney. “This year, I have met so many people on this CC Belle journey that have shared their stories of strength, courage, pain, love and inspiration,” said Swiney. “I have cried, laughed and smiled with customers this year.” In CC Belle’s future they are planning to host a “tell your story” series. The series will allow individuals to come and share their stories with others. CC Belle is currently located in Talbott, Tenn., Dandridge, Tenn., and Pikeville. Their hours are 10 a.m. – 6p.m. on Mon. – Fri. and 10 a.m. – 4p.m. on Sat. Swiney announced that CC Belle will be moving across the street from their current location in Pikeville. Within the next 10 months the new CC Belle will be ready until then CC Belle at 118 Caroline Avenue will be open.

BSCTC awarded $3.5 mil ARC POWER grant PRESTONSBURG — Big Sandy Community and Technical College (BSCTC) was awarded a $3.5 million POWER (Partnerships for Opportunity and Workforce Economic Revitalization) grant from the Appalachian Regional Commission (ARC) to create a vibrant economic future in coal-impacted communities in eastern Kentucky. “These investments capitalize on the growing momentum for a diverse economy in Appalachia,” said ARC Federal Co-Chair Earl F. Gohl in a press release. “They are strategic, collaborative, and impactful projects making the region more competitive in technology, manufacturing, entrepreneurship, broadband, health, and a variety of other sectors.” The grant was the largest of the 28 awards announced on Thursday, January 19. BSCTC created the Eastern Kentucky Coal County Transformation (EKCCT) project as a way to launch a comprehensive, employerdriven workforce development program, focused on building the digital economy and strengthening digital innovation and entrepreneurship across a 16-county region in eastern Kentucky. Hazard Community and Technical College (HCTC) and Southeast Kentucky Community and Technical

College (SKCTC) will join BSCTC to create digital innovation hubs for fasttrack training for high-speed jobs. “The transformation that we desire comes when innovation and collaboration collide,” said Joshua Ball, director of strategic communications at Big Sandy Community and Technical College. “By working together and leveraging resources, the Eastern Kentucky Coal County Transformation project will impact lives and serve as a catalyst to launch our region as a significant contributor in the 21st century workforce.” The EKCCT is a consortium in partnership with Shaping Our Appalachian Region (SOAR) and the Eastern Kentucky Concentrated Employment Program (EKCEP) as well as BSCTC, HCTC and SKCTC. The program will establish educational programs that develop workforce skills in emerging regional career clusters such as cybersecurity, medical coding, and advanced manufacturing. The program will specifically engage dislocated workers from the coal industry through targeted advertisements, and will provide adult basic education as needed to ensure that these individuals can participate in the training courses. “Developing accelerated, immer-

sive, industry-driven training leading directly into employment opportunities in the digital economy — and rooted in real employer demand — will be a key to ensuring that Eastern Kentucky’s men and women can compete for jobs and meet the needs of business today and in the future,” said Jeff Whitehead, executive director of the Eastern Kentucky Concentrated Employment Program, Inc. “We are excited for the opportunity to collaborate with this initiative’s partners at Big Sandy Community and Technical College, Hazard Community and Technical College, Southeast Kentucky Community and Technical College, SOAR, and some of Kentucky’s largest and most innovative healthcare and technology employers to provide critical support for Eastern Kentucky’s workforce, and open new career paths for dislocated workers and others in our region.” Additionally, the EKCCT program will support the development of a technology-driven economy beyond classroom training. It will identify and promote a number of digital innovation hubs, providing facilities and resources to encourage entrepreneurial activities.

Procrastination Procrastination is a thief of both time and eternity. Both famous and unknown authors have stated this profound truth in many ways. We live either in memory or anticipation of knowing about yesterday and hoping about tomorrow. But we are in awe of what to do with today. God is always in the now. He is the “I am.” If we are going to do anything for the Lord, now is the time. He wants our bodies as living sacrifices. If we wait for a deeper experience or understanding we may miss our greatest opportunities for service and ministry. Jesus is the same yesterday, today and forever. “But exhort one another daily, while it is called Today; lest any of you be hardened through the deceitfulness of sin.” (Hebrews 3:13) Today is the day of salvation. From the words of “O Why Not Tonight” by Elizabeth H. Reed, “Do not wait for tomorrow for the sun may never rise to bless thy long deluded sight.”

HMR program changing lives

BY CAROL CASEBOLT For The Medical Leader

Pikeville Medical Center’s (PMC) Kandis Stanley of Phelps has served as a nurse aide for nearly five years. She is one of many wellness and weight loss success stories thanks to PMCs new Health Management Resources (HMR). Stanley said her focus was wellness but weight loss has been a positive side effect. PMC Bariatric Surgeon Amy Johnson, MD, said, “In order to be healthy, paying attention to your overall wellness — like diet, exercise, sleep and control of your medical problems — is very important for longevity and happiness.” As a nurse aide, Stanley says her job requires a high level of activity. She responds to bed alarms, lifts and moves patients throughout her shift. “I am dedicated to doing my job to the best of my ability but I found myself struggling to race down the hall,” said Stanley. She says she was at a crucial point in her life. Her sugar levels were high and she was looking at potential problems associated with getting pregnant again. Stanley made an initial appointment with Dr. Amy Johnson. She had tried countless fad diets with little success before she was introduced to HMR. “HMR is a weight loss option that includes packaged meals, behavioral therapy as well as nutritional assessment and ongoing support while someone learns to eat regular foods again,” said Dr. Johnson. HMR delivered the results for which Stanley hoped. She reports a weight loss of 29 pounds on her journey to her total goal

of 75 pounds. Stanley said, “I feel much better since I have lost weight. I have more energy, I enjoy the food choices and I do not have to go hungry to lose weight.” The high level Stanley of accountability and support are two stand-out features that Stanley attributes to her success. “In my head I am thinking, I am not going next week and put my mark on the board and let everyone know I gained weight,” said Stanley. “We write our successes or failures on the board and I refuse to write a weight gain on that board. The whole class sees the board and they keep you accountable in a positive way.” The board is used to document food intake, physical activity, weight loss or gain and also is an aid to encourage the class to support one another. “The shakes and protein help me feel full and I am totally satisfied with the fruits and vegetables I can eat, plus the HMR meals are good, too,” said Stanley. She also depends on the variety of recipe choices she has discovered. “The HMR slogan is ‘more is better’ and I like that,” said Stanley. “You are not going to go hungry.” HMR has also helped her accrue find savings on grocery expenses that she plans to put to good use while she shops for new clothes.

RECEPTION: Dr. Alan Scheibmeir, center, interim president of Big San-

dy Community and Technical College, shares a laugh with Representative Larry Brown during a VIP Reception for the NASA Hubble Traveling Exhibit on Jan. 20. Also shown are Barbara Scheibmeir, left, and Terri Brown, right.

NASA Hubble Traveling Exhibit lands at EKSC

PRESTONSBURG — Big Sandy Community and Technical College’s East Kentucky Science Center and Varia Planetarium (EKSC) will house a special Hubble mission exhibit from NASA through August. “We are very fortunate to bring such an innovative exhibit to the people of eastern Kentucky,” said Steve Russo, director of the EKSC. “This exhibit takes visitors through the life and history of the Hubble mission.” The EKSC held a VIP Reception for community members to get a sneak peek of the NASA Hubble Traveling exhibit on Friday, January 20. Others who spoke at the reception were: Les Stapleton, mayor of Prestonsburg; John Rosenberg, a founding member of the EKSC, and Maurice Henderson, NASA lead outreach coordinator. “As the leading STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) facility in the region, it is important that we bring world-class exhibits, such as the NASA Hubble Traveling exhibit, to the people of eastern Kentucky,” said Dr. Alan Scheibmeir, interim president of Big Sandy Community and Technical College. “This exhibit will empower visitors through the power of science and engineering to shoot for the stars.” The 2,200-square-foot exhibit immerses visitors in the magnificence

and mystery of the Hubble Space Telescope and introduces the James Webb Space Telescope. Featuring a scale model of the Hubble Space Telescope and several satellite units, visitors will get a hands-on experience of the same technology that allows Hubble to gaze at distant galaxies and contribute to the exploration of planets, stars, galaxies and the universe. Visitors will also learn of the various instruments aboard the telescope and the role each of them plays in providing images and discoveries. The exhibit will also feature data taken by Hubble of planets, galaxies, regions around the black hole and many other fascinating cosmic entities that have contributed to science for decades. The EKSC is a state-of-the-art facility located on the Prestonsburg campus of Big Sandy Community and Technical College. The center provides visitors an innovative and interactive platform to explore STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Math) subjects and careers. The planetarium features a 40foot dome and the Spitz Sci-Dome projection system, one of only two dozen in the world. Additionally, the planetarium has the state’s only GOTO Star Projector, which brings space exploration to life for visitors. For more information, call 606889-8260.

Steve Martin’s dynamic band to play MAC

PRESTONSBURG — The Steep Canyon Rangers, the Grammy winning bluegrass band from western North Carolina, will perform on Feb. 3 at the Mountain Arts Center (MAC) in Prestonsburg. They won the award for Best Bluegrass Album in 2013 for “Nobody Knows You.” It’s that project that drew celebrated comedian and world class banjoist Steve Martin to call when he needed a backing band. A bluegrass band at their core, they can walk the line between the traditional sound and a sophisticated string orchestra. The Rangers’ latest release was 2015’s “Radio.” It was produced by the legendary dobro maestro Jerry Douglas in their hometown of Asheville, NC. “There’s strength in numbers, and it’s given the ensemble a new depth—a sense of subtlety where the

lines between different kinds of music are effortlessly crossed, re-crossed, and crossed again,” describes Acoustic Guitar magazine about “Radio.”. The Website AllMusic states “... Radio is an outstanding album from one of the most exciting new bands in bluegrass, and if you know them best

for their work with a certain talented banjo-playing comedian and actor, you owe it to yourself to find out how much they can do on their own.” The Steep Canyon Rangers live shows are becoming increasingly popular throughout the southeastern United States. They were recently

picked to play the famous MerleFest in April, and will be performing at the prestigious Stagecoach Festival in Indio, California two days after that. The band just completed a three night stand at The Orange Peel in Asheville, NC with Del McCoury as special guest. The opening act for the evening will be eastern Kentucky’s own Tyler Childers. A Paintsville High School graduate, he is a rising Americana singer/songwriters. He has caught the eye of many fans and musicians alike, prompting outlaw country superstar Shooter Jennings to tweet, “We have Chris Stapleton and Sturgill Simpson – my pick for the next up-and-coming leviathan: Tyler Childers.” Tickets range from $23-$27 and can purchased online at www.macarts.com or by phone at 1-888-MAC- ARTS.
