The Roller Coaster Ride
by Brenda Zahnley
Director of Bereavement Services
Christy-Smlth Funeral Homes
When I was a little girl, one of my
most favorite summertime experiences
was to go to Amolds park and ride the
roller coaster. That rickety thing had to
be over 100-years old; you could actu-
ally hear the wooden slats creaking
underneath the weight of the cars.
However, that did not stop my sister
and I from standing in a long line to
ride the coaster. We laughed and
screamed Our heads off to the extent
that we practically had hoarse voices by
the end of the ride. The first peak was
the worst! As you slowly crept up the
steep ascent, a sign above you warned,
"this is the point of no return." Then it
would reach the top and suddenly
'plummet down the track in a moment
of excitement and terror. A few more
bends, twists and turns; a few more
hills that would throw you halfway out
of your seat and in less than 9.5 sec-
onds you were back at the main termi-
nal breathless and wondering how you
ever survived that torturous ride.
When my brother got killed in a car
accident in 1968, 1 was only 8-years
old. I was confused as to what was
going on with my family. I was very
sad that I was never going to be able To
see my brother again. And, I was angry
at God that he would take my only
brother who, in my eyes, was my hero
and my knight in shining armor. My
parents did the best that they knew how
to do, but after Ken died, we didn't talk
about him much. Dad kept saying, "It's
God's will, you got to move on!" He
was tough and didn't show his emotions
much at all. My mother threw herself
into raising us girls and kept a lot of her
pain inside. Many nights I would hear
her crying alone in her bedroom... 1
know she was trying to protect my
sisters and l from the hurt and loneli-
ness that she felt so deeply.
My life, indeed, became the ultimate
roller coaster ride. I tried to laugh and
play with my friends, ignoring those
"tummy aches" that proved to be
deep-seated "heart aches" for my
Brother. I started writing letters to God

Egg on your face to prevent wrinkles?
Eating liver to fight skin cancer? The
' antioxidant vitamins, A, C and E that
many people take every day might just
be the answer to prevent and diminish
wrinkles, heal wounds, fight acne and
prevent skin cancer according to new
scientific research.
"We reviewed dozens of studies and
found that a well-balanced diet-con-
sisting of many different kinds of fruits
and vegetables, grains, dairy products
and meats helps your skin maintain
its health," said Karen Keller, M.D., a
dermatologist, lead author of the study
which was published in the Journal of
the American Academy of Dermatology.
"We also found that many skin
problems can be successfully treated
by topical applications of vitamins A, C
and E."
Vitamin A has long been used to treat
acne when applied as a topical treat-
ment in a cream or ointment. Many
adults using the treatments noticed that
it also reduced wrinkles. Now vitamin
A, in the form of a retinoid more
commonly known as retinol, can be
found in many over-the-counter skin
creams. How does the vitamin tound
in yellow and green vegetables, butter,
liver, egg yolk and fish oils work?
Researchers believe it increases the
production of skin cells and helps to
remove dead cells. This combination
may also help retinoids prevent the
formation of new skin cancer lesions.
A relative of vitamin A, betacaro-
tene, proves that Mom was right when
she told you to eat .your carrots. Beta-
carotene, found In carrots, sweet
potatoes, squash, cantaloupes and green
leafy vegetables, works with vitamin A
to protect cell membranes from UV
light-induced damage. This is important
in the prevention of wrinkles, brown
spots and other sun-related skin
problems.
The tang in your orange is ascorbic
acid, better known as vitamin C. It is
considered the most inlportant
antioxidant in many cellular activities.
Vitamin C consumed in food and
supplements has been shown to reduce
your risk of cancer, cardiovascular
disease and cataracts. Since vitamin C
is flushed from the body regularly, it's
especially important to get the
recommended allowance each day.
If you or a family member are prone
to and scratches vitamins A
in
and C can help those wounds heal
faster by helping the cells create a
stronger framework to repair the dam-
age to the skin. And, of course, for
larger wounds caused by serious acci-
dents or surgery, talk to your doctor
about the importance of vitamin supple-
ments in your recovery.
The oils, seeds, corn, soy, whole
wheat flour, nuts and some meats that
round-out a healthy diet are prime
sources of vitamin E. This antioxidant
is known for its ability to protect cells
by reducing the effects of sunburn, and
diminishing sun-related skin conditions
like wrinkles and skin cancer when
applied topically in a lotion, cream or
omtment. When taken as a vitamin
supplement, researchers believe that
vitamin E strengthens the immune
system to improve the overall disease
fighting capabilities of your body.
"While a little of these vitamins is a
good thing, it's important to remember
that a lot of anything can be bad for
you," cautioned Dr. Keller. "Vitamins
A, C, and E offer many benefits when
taken at recommended doses as topical
treatments or supplements. There's no
evidence that large quantities of any of
the vitamins will increase results."
The prescription for healthy skin?
Limit sun exposure. Always wear
sunscreen. And make sure you're get-
ting the recommended daily allowance
of vitamins A, C, and E. And consult
your dermatologist for additional ad-
vice on how to prevent and diminish
THE MOVILLE RECORD- THURSDA Y, MARCH 11, 1999, PAGE 5
expecting some kind of audible voice to
answer me as to why my brother had to
die. I wanted a physical body to wrap
their arms around me and tell me eve-
rything would be OK, but no hugs
came, so I felt neglected and aban-
doned from my heavenly father as well
as my earthly father. 1 cried in private,
underneath my pillow at night, but I
made sure 1 wiped my tears clean in the
morning. I told myself there had to be
smiles and if I could make my mommy
and daddy smile, then I had accom-
plished my number one chore for that
day. Around every bend and turn of this
ride called grief, and with every year
that passed, 1, too, was breathless from
the ride I was on. I couldn't keep up
with pleasing everybody and I was
exhausted from trying. I wanted to run
away to "the point of no return" be-
cause I didn't know how to fix my
family's own pain! Then a very wise
teacher in my 8th grade English class
asked the class to write an English
essay on something significant that had
happened in our lifetime .... Something
that had made such an impact on our
lives, that we would never again be the
same. This was finally my opportunity!
I wrote and wrote and wrote about my
brother. 1 wrote about his life, and I
wrote about his death. I wrote about the
things I missed about Ken and the
things 1 would just as soon forget. This
essay was six years after my brother
died, and I finally felt a sense of free-
dom in getting all my emotions out in
the open. When the teacher returned the
papers, he asked to talk to me about my
brother after the class period. He finally
said those magic words, "tell me how
you are really doing, Brenda. 1 want
you to talk to me about your brother,
Ken." For the first time, 1 felt as though
the roller coaster ride was coming to an
end. I sobbed. I told the teacher how
miserable and unhappy my family was
and how I was on this ride and I wanted
to find a way to get off. With much
understanding and support, this teacher
convinced me to start being honest
about my sadness, my anger and the
ups and downs of the grieving process.
He encouraged me to talk to my parents
and to share with my friends about my
brother, Ken. He gave me permission to
scream, to cry and to get mad at God. 1
had six years of frustration and emo-
tiot~al hurt pent up inside a sad and
lonely little girl. Those feelings had to
rcome out or I would have literally de-
stroyed myself. I wish I would not have
had to wait six years to realize the im-
portance of coming to terms with all
the roller coaster emotions that accom-
pany a death, however, it is never too
late to go back and grieve the death of a
loved one. That is probably why 1 have
chosen a career in bereavement support
because I am a firm believer that no
matter how treacherous the ride of
grief, one must go through the twists,
the bumps, the hills and the valleys
before you can reach the final destina-
tion of peace and serenity. Don't wait
6-years like 1 did. When you have ex-
perienced the death of a loved one, it is
so important to talk and talk and talk
about all the feelings that you are going
'through. Write about it. Shed your
tears. Scream if you need to. Laugh
when you are able. Grief is definitely a
roller coaster ride, but giving yourself
permission to-face your fears and emo-
tions head-on is a necessary part of the
healing process.
Casa Program
Court Appointed Special Advocate -
Today, thousands of abused and ne-
glected children.are waiting to join
safe, loving families. But they're caught
up in the complexities of the Juvenile
Court system through no fault of their
own.
The Iowa CASA program was created
to help catch children in need who fall
through the cracks in the child welfare
system. CASAs or Court Appointed
Special Advocates, are volunteers who
go through specialized training to pro-
vide abused and neglected children
with a voice in court and are appointed
by the Judges who preside in Juvenile
Court. CASAs work on one or two
cases at a time by thoroughly investi-
gating the children's situation, moni-
toring the ongoing services to the chil-
dren and their family, reporting to the
99
court, and making recommendations
that are in the children's best interest.
iThe CASAs' goal is to ensure that
every child has a safe, permanent, nur-
turing home in which to live.
In Iowa, CASA is a program of the
Iowa Supreme Court. CASA now exists
in all eight judicial districts in Iowa.
Last year in the Woodbury, Plymouth
and Monona County (Third Judicial
District) nearly 50 CASAs made a dif-
ference in the lives of 140 children. In
the process, they volunteered 6,356
hours of their time and drove 26,610
miles in their efforts to advocate for
children. Using the state rate for legal
professionals of $45 per hour, the time
dedicated by CASAs amounts to a
$286,020 donation to the state. Chil-
dren who have a CASA on their case
spend an average of 155 fewer days in
foster care or protective custody. In
addition to the priceless value of what
CASAs do for these abused and ne-
glected children, their volunteer efforts
state-wide saved more than $5.2 mil-
lion in foster care, group homes, and
shelter costs.
CASA volunteers have made signifi-
cant differences in the lives of many
Siouxland children. However, the needs
of a large percentage of the population
of children who could benefit from
,CASA are not being met. The Third
~Judicial District CASA Program cur-
rently covers the counties of Wood-
bury, Monona, and Plymouth and it has
;been funded to expand its program into
:the Buena Vista and Cherokee County
areas within the next six months.
There are several ways th it people
can volunteer their resources, time and
talents. Volunteers must be 21 years of
age, have a high school diploma, un-
i dergo a criminal background check, a
i child abuse background check and a
personal interview. CASA provides
citizens who care with a way to really
make a difference in the life of a child,
one case at a time. Become a CASA
volunteer or learn more about CASA
by contacting Maria Treiber, CASA
Coordinator, at 712-279-6602. Appli-
cations for the next training session are
now being accepted
