Her friend Jan Costilow, 58,
Berea also has COPD. But
Costilow can breathe because
she received a new lung four
years ago.
Although they both live in
Madison County and have been
treated at Richmond's Pattie A.
Clay Regional Medical Center,
the women didn't know each
other until connecting through
an Interact support group for
emphysema patients called
EFFORTS. The two met for
lunch one day in 1998 and have
been friends ever since.
Costilow, also a long-time
smoker, was diagnosed with
emphysema when she was 40.
She describes the disease, which
restricts the lungs' air sacs mak-
ing breathing difficult, as "pure
hell. It's like, if you would close
off your nose and maybe put a
cocktail straw in your mouth and
try to breathe through that cock-
tail straw and at the same time
run a race. Imagine how short of
breath you would get."
Costilow's lung capacity
dropped to 10-percent leaving
her unable dress herself, shower
or brush her teeth and wash her
face without sitting down to rest.
She received a lung transplant at
Nashville's Vanderbilt
University in 1999.
In spite of having to take
numerous medications and liv-
ing in constant fear her body
could still reject the transplanted
lung, Costilow says the proce-
dure was worth the pain. "It has
given me back my life," she
says. "It has given me three-and-
a-half wonderful years, and
hopefully a lot more."
Meanwhile, Oglethorpe
found more of her normal daily
activities limited by her decreas-
ing lung capacity. Climbing
stairs or running a vacuum
became difficult, and later near-
ly impossible. After more than a
decade with emphysema,
Oglethorpe decided to pursue a
transplant. A vital part of that
process was enlisting the sup-
port of her friend Jan Costilow.
"This is something I wanted
to do for her," Costiiow says.
"Besides her being a very dear
friend, I'!1 do it because I have
received so much from society
myself. I feel you can't just keep
taking and taking and not give
anything back."
Costilow discussed the risks
with Oglethorpe including sta-
tistics that show a 10-percent
death rate from the surgery
alone. Plus, 90-percent of
patients reject the transplanted
lung within the first three
months. But Costilow also
described the joy of simply
being able to breathe again.
Earlier this spring, Costilow
accompanied Oglethorpe to

Nashville to spend a week at
Vanderbilt's Medical Center.
There doctors gave Oglethorpe
a series of tests to see if she
would qualify for a lung trans-
plant. "You're torn," Oglethorpe
explains. "You want to breathe
better but then there's the fear
[of the operation]."
The exhausting week includ-
ed drawing a dozen tubes of
blood, a pulmonary function
test, a bone density test, a chest
x-ray and CT scan, a psycholog-
ical screening, and heart
catheterization..The process
became more stressful when
doctors told Oglethorpe they
discovered a spot on her lung
that could be cancerous.
After returning to Richmond,
Oglethorpe received good news
and bad: the spot on her lung
was not cancer. However, she
did not qualify for a lung trans-
plant because the tests revealed
the presence of certain antibod-
ies in her blood that would make
a donor match next to impossi-
ble.
Oglethorpe is trying to
remain upbeat saying not every-
one does as well as her friend
Jan Costilow after a transplant.
"I could die on the operating
table," Oglethorpe says. "I'd
rather live out the life I have
now." She has quit smoking and
is undergoing exercise therapy
, at the pulmonary rehabilitation
clinic at Pattie A. Clay hospital.
The two friends remain
active in spreading the word
about emphysema and the risks
of tobacco use. "Why is the
most deadly drug of all legal,"
Costilow wonders?
"I would encourage anyone
who smokes to quit smoking,"
Oglethorpe adds. "I realize ciga-
rettes are addictive, and people
say, 'Oh, I can't quit.' Let me tell
you, once you get emphysema
as bad as I have emphysema you
will quit smoking one way or
the other."

Workshops emphasize
agriculture education
Future Kentucky teachers are
learning how to bring agricul-
ture and the environment into
the classroom as teaching tools.
The Kentucky Department of
Agriculture has taught more
than 500 college students
throughout the state who are
preparing for careers as elemen-
tary and secondary teachers.
"The Department is demon-
strafing that agriculture and the
environment can be integrated
into all curriculums as real-life
instructional tools," said
Agriculture Commissioner Billy
Ray Smith, "Our food, clothing,
housing, and many other things
we use every day have direct
connections to agriculture. They
also are connected closely to the
environment since those who
produce our food were the first
stewards of the land."

Education conducts sessions for [
certified teachers on incorporat- |
ing agriculture into the class- I
room, said division Director|
Rayetta Boone. But since the ]
Kentucky Education Reform Act ]
mandates assessment testing,
teachers "have less lime to
attend the many professional
development programs avail-
able. That's when we thought of
training student teachers as
well," she said.
KDA conducted its first
workshop for student teachers in
January 2002 at Murray State
University. KDA has trained a
total of 516 student teachers at
Murray State, the University of
Louisville, Western Kentucky
University, Eastern Kentucky
University and Campbellsville
University, The next program
will be held at Murray State on
Aug. 12.
"We are training the student
teachers to bring agriculture into
their teaching methods before
they enter the schools," Boone
said. "This has also allowed us
to provide them with teaching
materials that have agriculture
and the environment as their
foundation. We believe this is a
long-term investment in the
careers of these future teachers."
Materials revolve around the
Food, Land & People program,
which deals with the complexity
and interdependence of natural
resources and people.
For more information on
KDA's student teacher education
program, contact Boone by
phone at (502) 564-4696 or by e-
mail at
