Yes, one can say they are with nature; God provided us the means for the food; we need to cull the herds, etc. I can't be convinced how a beautiful deer can be killed and "be with nature" despite using it for food. I grew up on a farm; my dad was a hunter. Hated it then, hate it now. And I even ended up on a rifle team in high school but could never shoot at an animal. Dating a hunter wasn't an option either. The farm animals were all my friends, could never raise and show an animal in 4-H that would end up on someone's plate. Would have felt like a traitor. One can argue there are too many deer.

However, I would recommend purchasing two things with regard to home exercise equipment. Number one would be some light to medium weights. For women, optimizing muscle via resistance exercise is the number one thing that you can do to address many issues at the same time. The fear of ‘bulking up’ has unnecessarily stopped many women from doing the one thing that will benefit them the most.

“And, number two would be some type of cardio equipment. What that should be would depend on what you find interesting. If you get sore knees then either a stationary bicycle or an elliptical would be appropri- ate.”

If you’ve not been keen about exercising, one way to get started according to David Peters, Summit City Fitness, is to change your frame of mind! Exercise at the Office! “The first thing to consider is that this is a lifestyle Exercising at work can help address one of change, and a commitment.

Credit-rating companies see balances only on the day they check. • Consider getting a “good faith” estimate from banks when shopping for a mortgage or auto loan. (However, do not give out your Social Security number.) A credit score can be hurt if multiple lenders request a person’s credit report.

A Planning Approach

january 2013 glo 9 Photo by Barb Sieminski Zianos While holiday shopping the Divas decided it was time to take a lunch break. Zianos in Chapel Ridge (10520 Maysville Road) was our choice for today and what a good choice it was. As we were being seated, we could hear Dean Martin singing his many Christmas songs. This put the fond old memories of our Christmases in all of us. This lovely Italian eatery has a fresh atmosphere and the service is great. Maury was our server that particular afternoon and did a great job. The Divas can be difficult at times as most Divas can be!

Upon Maury's recommendation, Sandy and I ordered the red pepper soup. Delicious! To accompany the soup we had Jimmy's famous Greek salad. The handmade Italian dressing set this salad apart from other Greek salads. Of course we had the fresh baked bread sticks brushed with garlic butter and parmesan. The dipping sauces consisted of cheese, marinara, garlic butter or alfredo and the Divas Neighborhood Health Clinics, Inc. had some of each. All were wonderful with the warm bread. Quality, Convenience & Close to Home We all chose pasta dishes that afternoon. The traditional spaghetti tossed in meat sauce and topped with hand rolled meatballs was very good. The lasagna was layered with sliced meatballs, ricotta, Family Medical Care mozzarella and meat sauce. The flavor was wonderful. We also ordered the fettuccini Alfredo. Oh was that ever rich and good. It is Women’s Health homemade Alfredo sauce tossed with fettuccini and seasoned with Prenatal garlic and black pepper and Parmesan. As stuffed as we were, we still had the need for coffee and dessert. Pediatrics We chose the 6-inch chocolate chip cookie. Let me describe this cookie... It is 6 inches, homemade, baked to order, topped with WIC vanilla bean ice cream, whipped cream and chocolate. Two of these delicious unique cookies served four divas. What a great end to a Dental Services great lunch.

NHCI accepts most insurances, including Medicaid and Medicare. Will the Divas be back? Oh yes we will. We hope to see you there! A sliding fee scale, based on income and family size, is available for uninsured patients. We are now accepting new patients! If You Want To Go Hours: Sunday – Thursday 11 a.m. – 9 p.m. Call us at 260-458-2641 Friday – Saturday 11 a.m.- 10 p.m. www.nhci.org About the divas: Our names are Linda Butler, Linda Reed, Joyce Cobbins and Sandy Motter. We have been friends for 45 years and are all retired. We all went to North Side High School and grew up in the same neighborhood. Now that our families are grown and moved out, we have a lot of spare time on our hands and like to eat out as opposed to cooking. Two of us have owned our own businesses and see the small business owner really struggling with the economy the way it is. So we thought we would eat at the small- er, family-owned restaurants instead of the big chains and fast food places. We have laughed at ourselves many times and referred to each other as "professional foodies." To contact the Divas, send an email to [email protected].

In 2011, she began nutrition consulting and became a certified personal trainer. Though she doesn’t consider herself an expert, she is well on her way as she contin- ues her education at the Institute for Integrative Nutrition. In addition to sugar, as Reilly mentions, Keiser says it’s a good idea to avoid processed foods, trans fats, chemical additives and preservatives, all of which make it tougher for your body to function optimally and fight off infection.

Keiser agrees with many of Reilly’s top immunity-boosting foods and adds mushrooms, oysters and yogurt.

1. Mushrooms: A mix of mushrooms, including the common button mushroom you find at the grocery store, may help enhance immune response and function. The polysac- charides in mushrooms have been shown to have antiviral, antibacterial, and believe it or not, anti-tumor properties. Mushrooms are also a fairly good source of vitamin D, which plays an important part in immune function, but is difficult to obtain through diet.

2. Oysters: Oysters are incredibly high in zinc. Zinc plays a critical role in immune function. It's important for normal cell develop- ment, reproduction, and healing. It helps to increase the body's white blood cell count and has been shown to decrease the incidence of infection in the elderly. Depending on the variety, oysters can contain as much as 180 milligrams of zinc per 100 gram serving.

3. Greek Yogurt: Yogurt contains probiotics, which help keep the digestive system balanced and functioning well. Since the gut is where 70 percent of the immune system is located, digestive health is crucial to maintaining a healthy immune system.

Lena Yarian | Junior Achievement President

When Lena Yarian was in high school, she worked as a waitress every weekday morning before class. Doing so taught her a lot about people and that “if you really want something, you can figure out how to get it done,” she says. In college at IPFW, Yarian worked in retail and continued to gain appreciation for all types of people. “I am very lucky to have had both of these experiences,” she says of her early work experience. “I have had great mentors in all my jobs.” These experiences led her to her current position as president of Junior Achievement of Northern Indiana, where she helps to serve 25 counties with more than 4,000 volunteers and more than 2,500 educators to reach 105,000 students. “I have a wonderful staff and a terrific board of directors, which makes my jobs fun and much easier,” she says. “I very much enjoy the daily challenges of the job and the many wonderful people I have the opportunity to work with each day.” Yarian says the biggest challenge of her position is trying to anticipate how and what needs to change in the coming future. When she isn’t working, Yarian attends her 16-year-old daughter’s basketball and softball games and visits with her 19-year-old son, who attends IPFW. She enjoys running (five nights a week) and yoga when she can squeeze it into her schedule.

Don Wismer | Jack of Many Trades

Ask Don Wismer what his career is, and you will get a calliope of answers including: criminal investigator for the Allen County Prosecutor’s Office, advocate for youth programs (founder of the Dare Summer Extreme Adventures program for inner city fifth grade students) and associate pastor at Aldersgate Church. One common thread throughout Wismer’s life experiences is helping others, and learning some life lessons from the women in his life about ethics, integrity and strength. “My mother was a huge influence in my life. I can remember at least one incidence where she was given a more expensive sandwich at a drive thru, and went back to pay the difference. She taught me a lot about honesty and personal integrity. My wife has been a huge impact in my life as well. Mimi is a captain and 26-year veteran of the Fort Wayne Fire Department. She is a force to be reckoned with (a good force that is). She has the unique ability to be as tough as nails when necessary, but can also display a beautiful grace and compassion for people who are hurt- ing.” The challenge of entering the ministry was huge for Wismer. His outreach programs include: “God on Tap,” a bar discussion group, “The Connexion,” a church service in a bar and “Lifetree Café,” church in a coffee house. “I have learned over time that just being present with someone during their times of crisis as well as during their times of success is meaningful for them. There is seldom anything you can say to make things all better. It’s more important to just be. Be with that person and be real with them.”

First Byte Where you can be (or pretend to be) anything you want to be in hopes for finding internet love connections: do they really work? your cyber soul mate. What was once ridiculed as an act of desperation, Internet dating sites Written by Julie Young, Feature Writer | Photo by Karrine Williams, Feature Photographer have gained some legitimacy over the past 15 years and have become the third most popular way heterosexual couples are meeting each other. But does it really work?

“The attraction was so strong that I decided to cancel the other dates.” – Stephanie Essex, who met her significant other of two years, Joe Coleman, through online dating site Zoosk.com.

Cyber Success Local girl Stephanie Essex met her significant other Joe Coleman a little over two years ago on Zoosk.com. It was the first time she had used an online dating service, but he had a profile on Eharmony.com for a month prior to trying Zoosk. Both said that their profiles were only up a few weeks before they met one another and although Essex was talking to several men on the site, Coleman was the first one she agreed to meet in the “real world.”

“The attraction was so strong that I decided to cancel the other dates,” she says.

Essex says because she’s not into the bar scene, she needed to find a way to meet a diverse group of people in a safe environment. She says she discovered that you could tell a lot about a person by the way they fill out their profile and while there were some men who came on pret- ty strong, all in all it was a great experience. “A perk is the fact that people put their likes and dislikes right on the screen as opposed to the poking and prodding you have to do when you meet someone for the first time,”

Coleman says, “I’m happy I used Zoosk and met my beautiful girlfriend because I can’t imagine my life without her!” A Web of Lies Shelley M., another local reader, says she’s met six men in the two years that she has tried Internet dating sites such as Match.com, Senior Meet and Eharmony.

January is a natural time to start thinking about goals for the New Year. Like many people, your New Year’s resolutions may include health-related goals like eating healthier and getting more exercise. Having a plan to achieve these goals is crucial to success. The National Weight Control Registry looks at char- acteristics of individuals who have lost a significant amount of weight and kept it off for a long period of time. They found that 98 percent of them modified their food intake in some way and 94 percent increased their physical activity. Key lifestyle changes were also observed in successful individuals. Start with a plan that includes every critical component to reach your goals: diet, exercise and motivation. Educate yourself about the nutritional values of food. Begin an exercise program that includes cardiovascular exercise with strength training to burn stored body fat and increase lean muscle mass, which boosts metabolism. Seek out someone who will hold you accountable as you travel on this journey. Eating meals and snacks that contain lean protein, healthy carbohydrates and healthy fats keep your energy levels up. Eat breakfast to get your day off to great start. Regular meals and snacks keep your metabolism revved up all day long, so plan on eating three meals and two snacks each day. Journal everything you eat and be prepared to show it to that one person who is holding you accountable. You can lose weight faster and healthier by choosing certain types of food. Seek out a meal plan that is researched based and nutritionally sound. Increasing your physical activity will increase your body’s need for energy, resulting in an increase of metabolism. This means your body will be better equipped to break down food for energy and burning calories. Find a workout buddy who will help you stay committed to your exercise routine.

Together these heroes make up the Guardians, who look out for children's hopes and dreams everywhere.

When the Guardians receive warning that their nemesis, Pitch "The Boogyman" (voiced by Jude Law), is rising from the shadows and preparing to fill the children of the world with nightmares, they must take a stand against him. In the midst of Movies their many challenges against Pitch, the movie is able to take the time to portray the world of each of the Guardians in all of its glory. The Tooth Fairy is visualized as a kind of hummingbird fairy who has scores of little hummingbirds that aid her in finding the lost teeth of the world. Santa has with a thick accent and apparently uses yetis to build his toys instead of elves, which are shown to be carefree little things that have a love of sweets.

january 2013 glo 25 Working the poles By Julie Young, Feature Writer

Pole dancing offers a great Once reserved for strip clubs, pole dancing has become a trendy form of exercise that has moved out of seedy bars and into the mainstream. From recent moms to grandmothers and teachers to accountants, women of all backgrounds are hitting upper body workout the poles to build their muscles, tone their bodies and improve their balance, coordi- nation and flexibility. “I taught myself how to dance watching videos on YouTube and breaking it down to its basic elements,” says Danielle Carroll, the pole dancing instructor at Boudior Noir-North in Fort Wayne. “It’s a very demanding discipline that literally works every inch of your body.” Though she has only been teaching for a few months, she says her students are thrilled to discover that they don’t need platform heels, skimpy outfits or a lot of upper body strength to get started. The typical student wears sweatpants or shorts along with a tank top and walking sneakers and can expect to learn how to use their muscles in new and provocative ways, all at a pace the student is comfortable with. “While you can’t escape the sensual and sexual side of pole dancing, there are so many levels to it and we really try to give it more of an athletic feel by adding repetitions to basic elements so that when it comes time for a more difficult movement like an inversion, they will be ready,” she says. It’s a great workout Brittany Atwood has been in Carroll’s class for five weeks and says she was looking for a fun new way to exercise that would strengthen her core muscles. She recently learned to climb the pole and said that it’s not as easy as it looks. “It literally works every muscle in your body including those you don’t think you have,” she says. “The nice thing about pole dancing is that you can change it up every day.” Atwood is engaged and is currently looking for a home where she can install a pole of her own to practice on in her spare time. She says it’s never boring, and as for her fiancé’s opinion of her new workout regimen… “It doesn’t bother him one bit!” she says. Not what you think! Brittney Shepherd is quick to say that she has never taken a dance class, has no intention of becoming an exotic dancer and is far from the athletic type, but thought pole dancing would be a fun workout that would keep her from getting stuck in a routine. “There are people who think pole dancing is all strippers and nudity, but it’s not like that,” she says. “It really builds your muscles and it takes a lot of strength, dedication and practice to get it right.” Though she has only been in the class one month, she is quick to tell her friends about her experience and encourage them to give it a try. “Everyone gets the wrong impression at first, but believe me, there is nothing sexy about the moves when you are just starting out. It’s just fun.”

Dispelling the myths about “I taught myself how to dance pole dancing: watching videos on YouTube and Myth: I need upper body strength before I begin. breaking it down to its basic Fact: Most students take pole dancing classes in order to build elements.

GO FARTHER, GO FASTER, GO LIGHTER. Less is more when it comes to the All-New Nissan Altima.® Our 2013 models feature weight-reducing materials like aluminum hoods and high-strength steel to increase MPG, and an improved CVT to achieve lower rpm at higher speeds. The innovation doesn’t stop there; 70% of our sedans and crossovers now receive 31 MPG HWY* or better. The most innovative Altima ever rings in Nissan’s most innovative year.

Nissan. Innovation that excites.
