It’s that time of the year again! The day we get to honor and celebratethe flag of our great nation has come!

Did you know that the American flag was adopted on June 14th of1777 by the Second Continental Congress? Many years later in 1916,President Woodrow Wilson issued a proclamation that officially established June 14th as Flag Day.

Although it is not a federal holiday, National Flag Day was establishedby President Harry S. Truman in August of 1949. Since 1777, many celebrations and ceremonies have been held in the honor of Old Glory.Many Soldiers and their Families have sacrificed so much for our flag – to include their lives. Without the blood, sweat and tears of thesenoble people, our flag would just be another piece of fabric.

Our flag flies for those who believed in something greater than themselves. The flag is a constant reminder of the freedoms we enjoybecause of the veterans who have served and those who continue toserve. It is their lives that give our American flag wings. One of the honors of being on a Military installation is that we have the opportunity to honor our flag and veterans daily with Reveille at 6:30 a.m. and Retreat at 5 p.m. This is a custom that the Military haspracticed since the 1800’s. While the trumpet calls at these times used

to be designated to mark the beginning and end to a work dayand still is, it is also a time when we stop what we are doing andreflect on those who have sacrificed so much for our freedom.This seems to be a custom that some don’t take seriously anymore. Maybe it’s because you don’t hear the trumpets ormaybe you just don’t know what to do? Either way, I think it isvery important that we model these traditions in front of ourchildren. Respect for our flag is just the beginning of respect toour country and to those who serve.

If you are on foot during these times and not wearing the uniform, you should face the flag or the sound of the trumpets,stand at attention and place your right hand over you heart. Youshould maintain this position until the trumpet stops. If you aredriving, you should pull over, stand at attention and place yourright hand over your heart until the trumpet stops. Of course, ifyou are a Soldier in uniform, you must stop, face the flag ormusic, stand at attention and render the proper salute. This issuch a simple thing to do. So please, let’s keep this traditionalive and well here on Fort Knox! Let us show respect to those

who have earned it! In doing so, we respect ourselves and the countrywe represent.

I’ll leave you with a quote from Woodrow Wilson.

“ A nation which does not remember what it was yesterday, doesnot know what it is today, nor what it is trying to do, is a futile thing ifwe do not know where we came from or what we have been about.”

Step up to the plate this summer and Read for the Win as part ofBarr Memorial Library’s annual Summer Reading program. Thereare programs and events planned throughout the summer forthe whole family; children, teens, and adults. The children andteen programs run June 4 through July 16, while the adultprogram spans May 2 through July 30. Reading logs forthe children’s and teen programs are available beginningJune 4 at the Kickoff celebration featuring the LouisvilleBats and Buddy Bat. The adult log will be available May 2in the Library and online.

Summer Reading is a fun-filled time of reading, learning,and growing. Children 12 and younger complete the program by reading for a total of 12 hours. Each participanttracks their reading progress in the provided log. Children thatcomplete the program turn in their entry and receive a specialRead for the Win prize bag. Along with the prize bag, children areentered in a random drawing for weekly prizes and a grand prize inhis/her age group. The age category the children fall into is determinedby the age he/she is when the program begins on June 6. Weekly andgrand prizes will be awarded for ages 0-3, 4-6, 7-9, and 10-12. Childrenwishing to complete subsequent logs may do so, and each completed logequaling another chance in the grand prize drawing.

The reading program is complemented by a variety of entertaining and educational programs including Wednesday morning programs atDevers Middle School and Teen Center that feature a performance by the 2004 and 2005 Bullwhip World Champion Chris Camp, raptor rehabilitation demonstration, and magic show. Preschool Story Hour is offered at 10 a.m. on Tuesdays and participation in those programs counttowards the child’s reading total. Additionally, children ages 8-12 are

invited to attend weekly Crafternoons on Wednesday afternoons at 3 p.m.with crafts that include washi tape projects, zentangle, and dream catcher creation.

The teen program allows teens to read and participate with customizablechoices for their summer reading experience. Participants must read anysix books and participate in, or accomplish 4 other tasks. Those tasks include additional reading, participating in the weekly STEM programs,or answering the questions of the week. The teen program, ages 13-17,

runs the same period as the children’s program and, also likethat program, teens completing it will receive a prize bag incentive and have a random chance to win a grand prize, inthis case a 7” Galaxy tablet. The more logs teens complete, themore chances he/she has to win the grand prize.

The adult program closely resembles the teen program, withadults having a choice in how to complete their program. Theycan either 1) read 10 books, or 2) read 5 books and participatein five Library programs. Those completing the program will receive a Read for the Win incentive and be entered in a random drawing for a Shuffle Puck 4-in-1 game.

For more information about the reading programs, or the special events associated with them, contact the Library at (502) 624-1232.

JUNE 2016 CALENDAR

What do we really know about Post-traumatic stress disorder…

According to the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs, PTSD is a mental health condition triggered by experiencing or seeing a terrifying event. The condition maylast months or years, with triggers that can bring back memories of the trauma accompanied by intense emotional and physical reactions. It affects a person’s moodwith the inability to feel pleasure, guilt or loneliness. Contrary to common belief, PTSD goes far beyond the Battlefield and it is not limited to Military ServiceMembers who have been to war. Anyone can have PTSD - from being involved inan auto accident, being assaulted, losing a partner or a child, or surviving a naturaldisaster, such as a hurricane or flood. PTSD is considered very common illness, more than 3 million cases are diagnosed per year in the U.S.,and with 8 million suffering from it at any given time tells usthat treatment does work and that patients get better.

Symptoms of PTSD may disrupt your life and it can make ithard to go on with your normal daily activities. There arefour types of PTSD symptoms:

1-Reliving the event (re-experiencing symptoms)Memories of the event and the same feeling of fear andhorror you felt when it took place, may come back at anytime.

a) You may have nightmares.b) You may feel like you are going through the event again – “flashback”.c) You may see, hear, or smell something that caused you to relive the

event – “trigger”. News reports, seeing an accident, or hearing a car backfire are examples of triggers.

2-Avoiding situations that remind you of the eventYou may try to avoid situations or people that trigger memories of the traumaticevent. You may even avoid talking or thinking about the event.

a) You may avoid crowds, because they feel dangerous.b) You may avoid driving if you were in a car accident or if your Military

convoy was bombed.c) If you were in an earthquake, you may avoid watching movies

about earthquakes.d) You may keep very busy or avoid seeking help because it keeps you

from having to think or talk about the events.

3-Negative changes in beliefs and feelingsThe way you think about yourself and others changes because of the trauma. This symptom has many aspects, including the following:

a) You may not have positive or loving feelings toward other people and may stay away from relationships.

b) You may forget about parts of the traumatic event or not be able to talk about them.

c) You may think the world is completely dangerous, and no one can be trusted.

4-Feeling keyed up (hyper arousal)You may be jittery, or always alert and on the lookout for danger. You might suddenly become angry or irritable. This is known as hyper arousal.

a) You may have a hard time sleeping.b) You may have trouble concentrating.c) You may be startled by a loud noise or surprise.d) You might want to have your back to a wall in a restaurant or

waiting room.

The National Center for PTSD states that trauma survivors who take a direct actionto cope with their stress reactions, put themselves in a position of power. Active coping means accepting the impact of trauma on one’s life and taking direct action toimprove things and start the recovery and healing process. It occurs when there is no crisis and it is a way ofresponding to everyday life. Active coping is a habit thatmust be made stronger! Understand that recovering andhealing from the trauma is a process and it takes time, little by little each day. It doesn’t mean forgetting traumaticevents; it doesn’t mean there will be no pain or bad feelingswhen thinking about them. Healing may mean fewer symptoms, and more confidence that you will be able tomanage your feelings.

THE BRANDS YOU WANT. THE AMENITIES YOU DEMAND.

“Man never made any material as resilient as the human spirit,”~Bernard Williams.

The strength of the human spirit is remarkable. Specifically, seeing children’sresiliency is astonishing. The Military Child is an exemplary example of resilience.

Military Children are resilient. There are many stressors that Military Childrenhave to endure. Some of those stressors are frequent relocation, adapting tonew educational settings, and new relationships. Often though, the mostdifficult stressor to deal with is deployment and reintegration. These are additional hurdles to the normal stressors that life gives each of us individually on our journey through childhood and adolescence.

Resiliency is in all of us. However, like most things that are good for us, sometimes we have to work for them. This is true in fostering resiliency in ourchildren. There are three categories of “protective factors” that can be categorized. These factors are having caring and supportive relationships,high and positive expectations, and opportunities for meaningful participation. To instill these factors, and offer support to encourage resilience, helps build a skill that a child will have throughout his/her life. Edith Golberg’s book, A Guide to Promoting Resilience in Children: Strengthening theHuman Spirit, breaks these three factors down in a very understandable way. Sheidentifies the three factors down to “I” factors: I have, I am, and I can. A child recognizes they have loved ones that care and support them. The child understandsI am loveable, loving, and proud and filled with hope. Then lastly, a child knows I can communicate, problem-solve and manage my feelings.

Having at least one caring and loving person is probably the most important factorin creating resiliency. From this all other factors are possible. Some simple thingsthat love and support offer are helping to provide healthy development and

learning. This creates the ability for a child to hit developmental milestones, as wellas encourages learning. Having good learning skills teaches us that there is morethan one way to solve a problem. When working with children, you can see the children who only have one way to handle a situation. For example, a child screamsand acts aggressively as the only way to deal with his/her feeling of sadness. It is justas important to face our feelings of sadness, or any feeling, with different strategies,as it is a hard homework problem. It is also letting a child know they are not alonein facing adversity or a struggle. That way, they know they have loved ones that arethere to help along the way.

Once it is established that a child has loving support, it’s important to move to having positive and high expectations. These are important factors with creating resiliency in children. High expectations lets us know that we do nothave to settle. It’s an understanding and esteem that says I am worthy and I am capable. This includes a positive attitude about what a child can achieve.As cliché as this is, the ability to see the glass as half full helps to see the silverlining in the tough stuff that life throws our way.

When learning any new skill, we need to practice it. The opportunity for meaningful participation is the practice of resilience. It is important for children to learn and practice skills with caregivers as a safety net. It’s takingthe training wheels off the bike and letting a child ride knowing that you arethere if she/he falls. This also allows children to solve problems and createmore independence. This gives them the ‘I can’ in building resiliency. Recognizing ‘I can’ manage my feelings, communicate, and problem-solve.

The three factors in supporting resiliency in children are not rocket science. It’s the simple things in life that help to make the human spirit so resilient. Creating resilient children means resilient adults, and those are successful adults.

When I was younger, my mother used to tell me my freckles were “angelkisses” and while this helped me learn to be confident in them, as I got older Ilearned just how much more susceptible I am to sun damage. I was a lifeguard formany, many years so sun safety is something I know a lot about and I cannot stressenough just how important it is to take the right steps to prevent sun damage.
