| The cycle of life Fri, 18 Jul 2008 21:39:32 -0500 Six women recently rode bicycles into the parking lot near J.C. Penney at Greenwood Mall. “Do all your gears work?” League of American Bicyclists certified instructor Anne Ellis asked the other women as they stopped to talk about bicycle safety. “Everything feels good?” The women were part of a women’s bicycling basics class at The Medical Center’s Health and Wellness Center at the mall. “Our goal is to provide women with an introduction to cycling to give them confidence to get out and ride,” Ellis said. “A lot of people have valid reasons why they don’t ride. We’re teaching introductory maintenance to help them get more comfortable to do this.” The class also fits with the Health and Wellness Center’s goal to help people adopt healthier lifestyles, community wellness director Linda Rush said. “Biking is such a great exercise. We’re supportive of the initiative of the city to become a bike-friendly community,” she said. “This class is good for people who have just started to bike or are getting back into it. You need to be able to do it safely and correctly. We plan to offer (the class) again in the future.” Ellis took the women through checks of tires, breaks and chains. She showed them how to take off and put back front and rear tires, as well as how to change a flat. “You want to shift down to the lowest gear. Release your brake. You’ve got a quick release on there,” she said as she pulled off the back wheel of her bike. “You’re more likely to have a flat tire on the back. Believe me, there are guys who don’t know how to change a tire, so don’t be intimidated.” When riding, there are several things that a biker should have. Ellis said she carries food, a copy of her driver’s license, money, a cloth to wipe her hands, a tube that fits the bike, a patch kit, tire irons, a shower cap to put over her helmet in case of rain, towelettes, a small first-aid kit and a chain tool to repair chains. “If the chain breaks, you can put it back together if you have the right tool. Everything on a bike is placed for adjustment - the handlebars, the seat, but you have to have the tools, particularly Allen wrenches,” she said. “Mishaps can happen anywhere at all. Think consciously between the garage and the driveway about how it feels before you’re away from tools, home and help.” A dollar bill comes in handy if there is a puncture in a tire large enough so that the inner tube can slip out, Ellis said. “You need to boot the tire. A dollar bill is strong enough. A wrapper from a Power Bar will work,” she said. “If you set it inside the tire, it will boot it. This is not a long-term fix, but it will get you back home.” Ellis also wears an identification bracelet with her name, city and phone numbers when she rides. “If you have a special medical condition, they can put it on there,” she said. “Think in terms of having some type of ID on you all the time. You and your bike may be separated.” People may think having a cell phone can offset the need of being prepared for any emergency, but that’s not necessarily so, Ellis said. “There are many dead zones around here, so don’t rely heavily on your cell phone,” she said. Ellis also talked to them about the rules for cyclists, including riding on the right side of the road, following the rules of the road just as motorists must, passing and signaling turns. “Learn how to scan,” she said. “You need to be able to look behind you and still go straight forward. It takes practice.” Sophie McAdams of Bowling Green said she and her husband have just started biking so that they can have an activity to do together. She took the class to learn how to take care of her bike. “I didn’t have the knowledge to change a tire,” she said. “I didn’t know how to put the chain back on if it came off.” McAdams believes the class would be good for anyone who wants to take up biking. “We should be confident that we have the same rules that motorists do,” she said. “I encourage others to take it because it was very informative.” |
| Cosmetologist working to boost cancer patients’ self-esteem Fri, 18 Jul 2008 21:39:33 -0500 Every time Sue Lacefield volunteers for the American Cancer Society’s Look Good ... Feel Better program, “it’s like Christmas,” she said. “We have kits for light, medium, dark and extra dark skin tones. We get foundation, moisturizer, blush, eyeshadow, mascara, eyeliner and eyebrow pencils and eye shadow,” said the Roundhill woman, a cosmetologist at Marcie’s Beauty Boutique in Morgantown. “Sometimes the pressed powder is in a real pretty compact. I love making people feel better about themselves and look better.” When she found out about Look Good ... Feel Better, a non-medical program in which volunteer cosmetologists are trained to help patients deal with the physical side effects from treatments, Lacefield decided to put her 14 years of cosmetology experience to the test. She has been a volunteer for a little more than a year. “There was a program set up in Butler County,” she said. “A letter from the American Cancer Society came to the shop, and we said we’d be glad to sponsor a program in Butler County.” As a Look Good ... Feel Better volunteer, Lacefield goes to the program to show women how to use makeup in a sanitary way. The prepackaged makeup is donated by various cosmetics companies. “A lot of the ladies have never used makeup. We stress on the sanitation part of it because they’re at a vulnerable stage in their treatment,” she said. “You have to be careful. I show them how to hide spots and work with their best features.” Lacefield received training for the program at Lindsey Institute of Cosmetology in Bowling Green. About three months later, she was volunteering for a Look Good ... Feel Better session. “I took the (training) class in March last year,” she said. “I have to get recertified every two years.” The number of participants who attend the two-hour Look Good ... Feel Better program varies, Lacefield said. “Sometimes we have about eight. Some classes are larger,” she said. “We’ve done them in April, May and July so far (this year).” Lacefield, who does the program mainly in Warren County now, said she tries to make it fun for the participants. “I try to get past their inhibitions to where they’re not so self-conscious about coming in with a bald head or dry skin. If you get up and put your makeup on, you feel better than if you don’t,” she said. “I have a lot (of participants) who say they want to come back, so I say, ‘Bring your kit and come on.’ ” Lacefield said she enjoys working with the American Cancer Society and the other volunteers. “It makes me feel as well as the people who I help. The American Cancer Society does a lot to help people,” she said. “I’ve had relatives with cancer. I wish I had known about it then.” |
