When it comes to finding fun and interesting things to do at home or in the area, look no further than YOU Magazine. We’ve expanded our makeovers from women to the kitchen and beyond. You’ll find ideas that add to the enjoyment of cooking and gardening in the backyard.

Gardening is a short but cherished

season in central Wisconsin. There are tips and ideas to widen your gardening fun.

A winery near Thorp features gardens that are as exquisite as the wines.

Using local fruit, the winery produces tasty aperitif and dessert wines. Make a picnic out of your excursion to Munson Bridge Winery because you can also buy

cheese and bread while enjoying the winery gazebo along the large pond.

Besides a winery, it’s also a wedding and party venue.

Something Sweet by

By You Staff The traditional style of European baking and cake making becomes art when Jenny Haas of Colby decorates baked goods. Something Sweet by Jenny is her business where she makes a variety of cake, cupcakes, candy and other sweet treats.

To place an order check the Web site http://www.somethingsweetbyjenny.com, or call her at 715-206-0339. Orders are available for pick-up at Martino’s Restaurante, 965 Pine St., Stanley.

Wedding and special celebration cakes and cupcakes are some of Jenny’s specialties.

Makeover fits active lifestyle

By You Staff Although Jackie Albers of Marshfield is a retired police officer, it doesn’t mean her life is in the slow lane. She’s a busy, active no-nonsense type of woman who decided she wanted a new look that fits her new lifestyle.

“I wasn’t sure what to expect, but this was one of the most wonderful things I ever did,” Jackie said following her day of pampering in Marshfield. “Everyone treated me like I was gold.” continued on page 10

The biggest difference in the way she looks was achieved through body sculpting. “I didn’t expect such results,” she said about her session at Contours Body Sculpting, 630 S. Central Ave., Marshfield.

“Excess fat and fluid retention in the body create bulky masses of volume as well as cellulite,” said Jennifer Dragt, Contours owner and manager.

Cellular Electro-Aesthetics Biogenie Body treatments deliver detoxifying microcurrents directly to cellular fluids and fats cells. Fats are emulsified, pumped out and

magnetically driven to the lymphatic system where it is filtered and permanently eliminated through natural means, according to literature from Contours.

“I lost about four inches total,” Jackie said. The difference on her face was the most striking. “My husband didn’t know that I was having this done and when I came home later that day he was surprised at how nice my face looked,” she said.

Body sculpting isn’t a permanent solution and needs to be maintained with good nutrition and a healthy lifestyle, Jennifer said.

Everyone treated me like I was gold. ~ Jackie

Robin Rode owner of Forget Me Not Nails, located in the Contours suite, used a natural looking product called polytech on Jackie’s nails. ”In the past, clients who didn’t want to wear acrylic nails only had one choice to strengthen the nails and that was through polishing a nail strengthener on the nail bed,” Robin said.

“While wearing the poly-

tech, it gives the natural nail strength without having to do the maintenance everyday. Polytech has built in proteins and biotins that give the nail its durability. The great thing with the polytech is that you can wear the polish just as long as if you were wearing acrylics and it doesn’t chip. It’s a great option for brides and vacationers,” Robin said. continued on page 12

The next day, Jackie visited Studio 211, 211 W. Third St., Marshfield. Stylist Lisa Meddaugh listened to Jackie explain that she was allergic to hair coloring products but would like something to cover the growing gray hair on her head.

“In the past when she had her hair colored, she needed to be treated for an allergic reaction, so I used foil to keep all of the color off of her scalp,” Lisa said.

“We chose three colors to deepen and soften the gray.

One color is an accent, another brightens and the last blends the colors because we wanted to keep her hair as natural as possible,” Lisa said.

Jackie’s hair was shortened by about six inches and layers were added with a few short layers in the back to add some bounce where her hair is thickest, explained Lisa.

“Jackie has beautiful naturally curly hair, so I used an extra-volume mousse and scrunched her entire head while using low heat and warm air to dry her hair,” Lisa said. “I finished it with a spritz to add shine and hold.

Jackie is the perfect model for beautiful curly hair.”

At Merle Norman Cosmetics and Day Spa Boutique, 249 S. Central Ave., Marshfield, Jackie completed her makeover. Specialist Trisha Palmer began with a toner for normal to dry skin to brighten Jackie’s complexion.

“Next I used an energy concentrate with a rich penetrating concentration of ingredients. It contains ginseng to stimulate and invigorate the skin. This was followed by our most popular treatment, Fine Line Minimizer. It is a

silky intensive product that contains pro-retinol and vitamin C. These are products proven to diminish fine lines on the face in about eight weeks of use for about 50 percent of the customers,” Trisha said.

“For color I used Timeless Age Defying Makeup which gives a smooth looking complexion,” she said. “I added Dusty Rose Blush for a natural look and some color on the eyes using champagne sky and galaxy eyeliner.”

n r e h t u o S Sunday Dinners

you spotlight

By K. Gayle Foth For YOU Magazine

Every Sunday after church, we would pile into my parents’ car to go to my Granddaddy and Grandmother’s house for Sunday dinner. We (my mom, my stepdaddy, my sister MaryAnn and my brother Jimbo) would go to church every Sunday at the Goshen Baptist Church in Goshen, Ala. We would leave church around noon and head down the Goshen-Henderson Road, turn onto the HendersonGlenwood Road and hang a right on the Henderson-Duggin Road. Apparently they were not very imaginative with road names back then as every road was named for the two towns they ran in between. For a while, we went in an old car that was filled with bullet holes that had been involved in a bank robbery.

My stepdaddy had picked it up at an auction for a steal.

I always waited anxiously to come over the hill on Henderson-Duggin Road and past the fields of corn, cotton and peanuts to see who was at my grandmother’s house. I enjoyed playing with my cousins and visiting

with my aunts and uncles.

We kids used to take cardboard boxes and slide down the steep ditch or we would head down to our little fishing pond across the road to try and catch some catfish.

My Grandmother Parks always started our Sunday dinners the night before, making desserts of pound cake, pecan pie, homemade ice cream and ambrosia. Granddaddy Parks worked in his store Sunday mornings, but Grandmother always spent her Sunday mornings at the Henderson Methodist Church.

Their maid Flo would start the preparation for the Sunday meal. Flo started working on the fried chicken, fried okra, butter beans, creamed corn, rolls, light bread (light rye), Jell-O salads, sliced tomatoes and ham. As soon as Grandmother got home, she headed into the kitchen.

As other family members arrived, the pattern would follow. The men would retire to the benches in the front yard to watch us kids play or the den to watch football as the womenfolk would rush into

All About You

the kitchen to help with the meal.

We had approximately 30 people coming over for dinner every week, give or take a few, depending on what was happening. But most everyone knew that it was not an option to miss Sunday dinner at Grandmother’s. My Uncle Biney and Aunt Aletha, my Uncle Joe and Aunt Melva, my Uncle Oscar and Aunt Sara, along with all my cousins were required guests every Sunday.

We women and children of the family always ate our Sunday dinners in the back porch behind the kitchen.

Only the men of the family were allowed to eat in the dining room. Granddaddy always sat at the head of the dining room table so he could make a quick exit in case someone came to the store, and he always led the prayer before everyone dug in. The problem was no one could hear him because he mumbled his way through it so you had to keep one eye on him so you knew when the eating began.

After the meal was over, the

men again retired to the front lawn or back to the TV for football. All the men except my Uncle Biney that is. He always washed the dishes after Sunday dinner. The women would help clean up afterward, but the food was always left on the dining room table, covered with a napkin in case someone wanted to grab a chicken wing for an afternoon snack.

My Aunt Sara had a beauty parlor attached to her home, so almost every Sunday there was one of us who needed a haircut or a perm. She always did this in Grandmother’s kitchen while the rest of the family rested after the big meal.

Unfortunately, both Grandmother and Granddaddy Parks have passed on and with them they took this wonderful Sunday family tradition. Their house was sold and the kids grew up and apart, scattered across Alabama and beyond. But we will always have those memories of those lovely, hot, summer Sunday afternoons.

s d n e r t KitchenSummer a great time you spotlight

By Cherie Tham For YOU Magazine Spring is here and summer is just around the corner.

While many people might think of sprucing up the lawns, the patio and even the garage, another area that might deserve some attention is the kitchen. Just think about how much time is spent in the kitchen, preparing meals, eating, snacking or holiday get togethers.

Wouldn’t a renovation add great conversation at the next family gathering?

Now is the perfect time as many will spend more time out of the house in the yard and cooking out, creating the perfect opportunity to add that spark with some of the latest trends in kitchen design.

According to Angela Ford, owner/designer of the Kabinet Konnection in Marshfield, there are many new designs and styles that will give new life to your kitchen. Darker colors have been very popular with not only wall color 16

for kitchen remodel

but in the cabinets, countertops and flooring. Stainless steel appliances still are trendy but one more added feature are the wooded panels that go over the refrigerator to make it look like a cabinet or can tie in with the furniture. It’s very stylish and upscale.

“Granite and quartz counters have been very popular with our customers, along with adding wet bars in the kitchen. It’s a great feature, keeping wine and other beverages for family and guests,” Angela said.

When it comes to remodeling, the process doesn’t have to be hard if one is organized.

Once the decision has been made on the style and type of cabinets, electricians and plumbers can all work together to make the transition smooth.

“What people forget is that the refrigerator and stove can still be plugged in and used during the remodel-

ing process, so cooking and planning meals isn’t really interrupted. However, when the appliances are replaced, that is when the outdoor grill or takeout can be handy, especially on those busy work nights. Paper plates and plastic silverware are also a plus,” Angela said.

If a complete overhaul of the kitchen sounds like a bit much, there are simple options to still create and fresh and new look in the kitchen.

Angela offers her services to help customers reach those needs by suggesting crown molding to existing cabinets,

new appliances,changing the light fixtures, or just adding new door fronts to add new life to a kitchen. Even something as simple as changing the door handles can add a modern twist.

“We offer services and products to fit any budget and invite people to visit our showroom for ideas and suggestions. We have plenty of ideas for major or minor renovations, and we can help make it fit into your budget,” Angela said. “After all, the kitchen is where you congregate and collect to visit. Why not make it attractive?”

Summer time is Just about every business will attest to word of mouth being the best form of advertising. It’s true in the landscaping business too. Generally a project begins with landscaper and client meeting and walking the site together.

The project starts by gathering all the measurements of the property, taking pho-

tos to use as a reminder of the site during the design phase, and a soil test to make sure the soil is adequate for the plantings. We review drainage, overhead wires, neighbors planting and any current traffic patterns that have been established.

The fun now starts as we take all the information back to the office to create a plan

based on information gathered and a budget. We have found at times the customer is a little afraid to give us a budget thinking we will design up to that. TThere are times when our customers say,“Create your best, and if it becomes more than what we can afford at this time, we’ll phase the project over a period of years.”

This way, the client is getting exactly what they want, but they are willing to add to it over time. .When the design is complete, we generate the costs for each portion of the project. We try to phase the project with the estimates so that the client can choose the sections to complete at a given time. The estimate

Now comes the production side of things.

We need to assure all materials needed are available at the start of the job. Remember some materials are only available at certain times of the year. Some natural materials need to come from a quarry, which can take time in order to get the specific color or size.

The job starts and we have our crews take the designed plan and turn it into a finished landscape. I must admit this is the best part of

bright vibrant color! Now if color scares you as it does many (after all most of us wear basic black much of the time) just start small, such as, an accessory in a bright blue hue of your choice. Each item of clothing may be a special “jewel” through color.

Another key trend this season from the fashion designers is vibrant prints. There is something for everyone from mixed floral prints to primal/tribal animal prints to graphic prints. Prints are fun and give everyone a chance to show off their individual style. Floral prints and summer go together, which is why you see them on warm weather clothes.

tinue to remain strong. Geometric prints are hot, hot, hot this season in both shape and print. So purchase some print pieces for summer.

Another hot trend is Reverse-a-Purse, an essential for any woman’s wardrobe. A leather handbag with reversible covers, so you have three looks in one bag.

Dainty jewelry has given way to the chunky, big pieces — a look called in-your-face jewelry. Pendants also will be strong.

Searching for a baby

name?

Isabella top for girls; Jacob for boys Mom and Dad may be looking to popular vampire books and the first family for baby names: Cullen is on the rise for boys and Malia for girls. But Miley and Jonas are down, proving that acclaim can be fleeting.

Nationally, Isabella is now the top baby name for girls, Jacob for boys, according to information from the Social

Security Administration in early May. Isabella’s climb to the top in 2009 ends Emma’s one-year reign. Jacob is on an 11-year run at the top.

Isabella was also among the top girl’s name in the Marshfield area while Aiden was the most popular for boys.

In the Wisconsin Rapids area Madelyn, and variations

of the spelling, was the popular girl’s name and Mason the popular name for boys.

“Anything can influence baby names, from pop culture to literature to music and celebrities,” said Jennifer Moss, author of “The One-ina-Million Baby Name Book” and founder of Babynames. com.

Barack still didn’t crack

the top 1,000 for boys, but a version of the president’s daughter’s name, Malia, was the fastest riser for girls. Maliyah moved up 342 spots, to No. 296, while Malia, which is how Obama’s daughter spells it, came in at No. 192, rising 153 spots.

Edward Cullen is one of the lead characters. Edward moved up 11 spots, to No. 137 on the list, and Cullen was the biggest riser among boys’ names, up 297 spots to No. 485.

Edward Cullen is, of course, a vampire. His girlfriend? Bella, a common nickname for Isabella.

Jacob is another character in the stories, but Jacob’s rule

at the top started well before the first “Twilight” book was published in 2005. Isabella has been in the top 10 since 2004.

“People seem to be a little bit more creative, inventive and flexible with their daughters’ names,” said Social Security Commissioner Michael J. Astrue. “With boys, I think we tend to be a little bit more consistent. The names don’t change quite as much.”

A little more than 22,000 girls born in 2009 were

named Isabella, followed by Emma, Olivia, Sophia and Ava. Nearly 21,000 boys were named Jacob, followed by

Ethan, Michael, Alexander and William.

By Deb Cleworth For YOU Magazine With obesity rates tipping the scales in the wrong direction, parents might wonder what they can do to stop the trend of couch potatoes and get families on the track to a healthy lifestyle.

In 2001, a study showed 9.1 percent of Wood County 2to 4-year-olds were found to be overweight, according to the Center for Disease Con-

“Eighty percent of children who are overweight or obese do grow up to become overweight adults,” said Erica Sherman, a Wood County public health nurse.

While it might not be easy, changing that trend could be as simple as putting down the phone, clicking off the computer and turning off the television.

“I think modern technology has taken over a lot of kids’ lives,” said Mary Wolosek, recreation supervision at the City of Wisconsin Rapids Park and Recreation Department.

“I think individual families are the ones that need to curtail their children’s activities and gear them in the right direction toward activity.”

Wolosek doesn’t go for the “there’s nothing in this town to do” excuse.

“The parks offer a lot of hiking trails and bike trials,” Wolosek said. “There are a lot of things in the city parks that people can utilize to help increase their physical activity, and those are things that families can do together.

“They are non-structured, meaning they are things people can do when they are convenient for (parents) and their families.”

There are plenty of activities to help introduce children to new sports, or build interest and increase ability in sports children already are involved in.

Jill Lamp’s four children all were involved in recreational sports. Her twin daughters, Hannah and Libby, 7, just completed their first year in recreational soccer; they took tennis lessons last year. Lamp, of Wisconsin Rapids, said the rec offerings not only offer healthy lifestyle choices, but a chance to try out different sports to see what the children seem to really enjoy.

Children often try new activities at summer camp, said Travis Fountaine, director of the South Wood County YMCA Camp Alexander in Wisconsin Rapids. Weekly resident camps (8-to 14-yearolds) start June 13, and run through July 30; day camps (5- to 11-year-olds) start June 14 and run through Aug. 20.

“We do a lot of boating, like canoeing and kayaking, a lot of swimming, fishing — we

do archery and BB guns, arts and crafts, GEO caching, orienting (compass work), Frisbee golf, and field sports,” Fountaine said.

It might come as a surprise that many children haven’t participated in those activities prior to camp.

“By far, all the activities are pretty new to many of the kids that come here,” he said.

Fountaine said the campers are ready to try something that doesn’t need a plug or batteries to work.

“They’re ready to go,” he said. “It doesn’t take a whole lot of motivation on our part.”

Fountaine said the majority of activities, including group games, are geared for physical involvement.

Participants also learn core values — caring, honesty, respect and responsibility — at camp, Fountaine said.

Cost of camp could be pricey — as much as $450 — but Fountaine said that shouldn’t deter any family from participating.

“There is financial assistance,” he said. “We won’t turn anyone away, even if they can’t do the deposit, we will work something out to take them.”

Don’t forget the mini-golf courses, lakes, and of course, the pool.

With all the available activities, it shouldn’t be too hard to be armed with a ready answer when the kids complain they are bored.

By You Magazine Staff

Former dairy farmers, Tom and Sheri Rohland of Withee, have new careers that began as a wine-making hobby.

The land on their Withee farm always has provided a bounty of fruit, which every season, Sheri Rohland used in pies, canned and froze for the winter months.

Making wine was a new

option for the fruit and Tom Rohland’s first batch made with raspberries was delicious, Sheri said.

“It was awesome. And Tom made more, and it continued to be really good,” she said.

After about 20 years in dairy farming, the couple sold their cows and began to venture into making wine. They creat-

ed a business, completed all the license requirements and sold their product to friends, Sheri said. The demand for the wine grew, and the couple quickly found their hours not spent at their day jobs consumed by the wine business.

“Now, we’re expanding our hours so that maybe this

won’t just be a weekend job for one of us,” Sheri said.

When the couple bought the farm 25 years ago, they started to carve the landscape not used for crops or cows into flower gardens.

Then they sold the cows and transformed the 100-yearold barn into a shop and venue often used for weddings,

“There’s lots of people that come here just to relax and have something to eat,” Sheri said.

The property has a small pond with a gazebo where people picnic with wine, cheese and bread from the Munson Bridge Winery shop.

“It’s a delightful place to visit. It’s a mini-road trip to a real treasure right in our back yard,” said Deb Janz of Spencer, who has made several visits to the winery for pleasure and work.

Munson Bridge wines have been featured at several ga-

las Janz has organized for Spencer and Marshfield nonprofit organizations.

“I am so impressed with Tom and Sheri’s passion for wine, and they have been very generous in supporting nonprofit events,” Janz said.

She added that her favorite wine is Elderblue, a combination of elderberry and blueberries, which is dryer than most of the Munson Bridge wines.

Munson Bridge Winery customers enjoy the Pajama Red made from black raspberries, Sheri said.

“It pairs well with most des-

serts and is a wonderful sipping wine. The perfect way to end a day,” she said.

Besides the elderberry and blueberry blends, another favorite is a wine made from wild plums.

“The neighborhood kids

collect the plums for us and last year, there was over 2,000 pounds. The wild plum wine is delicious with appetizers, poultry or seafood,” Sheri said. continued on page 30

Keep blisters at bay on

By Gannett Media At one time or another, I suspect most of you have experienced the sometimes tiny, often large, foot blister.

Even the smallest blister can make an enjoyable event turn into a death walk.

Blisters are pockets of fluid within the upper layers of your skin. Before going into other causes for blisters, be sure your shoes fit properly — not too big and not too small.

Properly fitting shoes accomplished, the three major contributors to blisters include heat, moisture and friction. Unfortunately, the best solution to eliminate the blister contributors seems to vary between individuals.

What worked for you on your last long event or race might work for the next one.

Wearing moisture-wicking socks is one remedy that can reduce or eliminate blis-

ters. Some athletes prefer single-layer thin socks while others prefer double-layer socks. Wearing double-layer socks keeps feet cool and dry by wicking moisture. They reduce friction on feet by transferring the friction from the foot-sock interface to the area between the two sock layers.

One of my training buddies did a week-long hike in Nepal a few years ago. I loaned

this Air Force pilot a book titled, “Fixing Your Feet.” The best tip he got out of that book was to wear ankle-high nylons as your first layer of socks. He said he struggled with blisters for years and this single tip cured his blister problems.

Some athletes get blisters even if they wear socks. Triathletes looking for fast transitions don’t want to bother with socks. Now what?

you spotlight Four major categories to combat blisters include lubricants, powders, hydration and taping. Interestingly, it has been found that rubbing moist skin produces more friction than rubbing very wet or very dry skin. Lubricants help reduce friction by keeping skin-to-skin or skinto-shoe areas wet and slick.

Powders and antiperspirants reduce friction by keeping feet dry.

Keeping your body appropriately hydrated keeps your feet from swelling and rubbing on your shoes. If you

overhydrate and take in excess sodium, fluid retention causes your toes and feet to swell. If you are dehydrated and lose too much sodium from sweating, oddly, you end up retaining fluids in your hands and feet. Avoid blisters caused by swollen feet by keeping fluids balanced.

The athletes who do not like lubricants or powders swear by taping — with duct tape. There are other tapes that can be used, but duct tape seems to be the favorite due to its slick surface. Ath-

letes tape directly over areas where they’ve experienced blisters or hot spots in the past.

If you are a triathlete taping on race day, use a tape adherent to keep the tape job intact through the swim and bike. Immediately after taping, put talc or baby powder on all of the tape edges to prevent rocks and other debris from sticking to the tacky border.

A few triathletes that run sans socks prefer to apply tape to the inside of their shoes, rather than their feet.

Common areas to tape include seams on the top and sides of the shoes, heel area and the insole and shoe interface.

With some knowledge and preventative action, you and your feet can enjoy an active and happy summer — without blisters.

By Anthony Wolf For YOU Magazine When it comes to the insurance business, I have to say I met two of the best people in the business.

I set out to complete an article for YOU Magazine about a husband and wife who work together. I began by interviewing Cindy Burns of Burns Insurance Agency, 500 S. Central Ave., Marshfield.

I found out quickly that Cindy has had a life-long passion and calling in the insurance business. I also discovered her husband, Dan, works with Cindy in the office. Cindy and Dan said, “A spouse team is not that uncommon, and we feel it’s a

strength and a great check and balance for us. We bring different strengths to the business while feeding off each other. We have each other’s back.” Having someone there to help in times of need is part of everyone’s lives.

Insurance means having “peace of mind” and someone there for you when you find yourself in a tough situation, and maybe even on your worst day. Cindy said, “That is when it needs to be our best day.” Both Cindy and Dan could tell dozens of stories of how lives were broken by a sudden tragic change of

Group helps libraries, gardens

stay

By Deb Cleworth YOU Magazine Staff More people are returning to their roots, as they dig into the soil and plant their own gardens.

Economic challenges have led to a growing demand for gardening books at local libraries, so the Wood County Master Gardeners stepped up

to help.

With funding from Wisconsin Master Gardeners grants and matching funds from the Wood County chapter, $800 worth of books will go to libraries in Nekoosa, Rome, Vesper, Pittsville, Arpin and Marshfield.

“(McMillan Memorial Library) is in real good shape, so we decided to help the smaller libraries,” said Barb Herreid of Rome, treasurer for the Wood County Master Gardeners. “We noticed there were more articles in newspapers (about gardening), more

people turning to community gardens, and probably people who hadn’t gardened before.

“When you do something you’ve never done before, it’s always good to have some reference material to work with. I think the libraries are a good resource center.”

“We order a lot of gardening books every year, and they are always off the shelf, especially in springtime,” said Darla Allen director of the Charles and JoAnne Lester Library in Nekoosa.

Fewer than 10 books were available this week at the display Allen put up a couple of weeks ago.

Bonnie Young of Nekoosa, a gardener and regular patron

of the library, is aware of how fast books get checked out.

She grew up with gardening and said she increased her vegetable selections for economic reasons and for the food’s flavor. Faced with limited space, she looks for books on plotting gardens.

“When you see a gardening book, you always look,” said Young, 65.

The gardeners and librarians tried to focus on Wisconsin and Midwest-region vegetable gardening books, Herreid said.

“The books they are donating to us will be a huge benefit, because they are titles that we did not have,” said Lore Ponschock, library director at the Lester Public Library of Rome.

With tight budgets, the donation saves about $200 in book purchases, Ponschock said.

The Wood County Master Gardeners also volunteer, maintaining several of the gardens outside the library

buildings.

“They keep the gardens looking fabulous,” Ponschock said. “We couldn’t serve the public without their help in both areas.”

Gardening grows in

By Deb Cleworth YOU Magazine Staff Gardening interest is growing from young to the youngat-heart.

Four Wisconsin Rapids gardening clubs work together to seed an interest in gardening with children in the Buds and Sprouts program, held at the Wisconsin Rapids Zoo. The six-week program teaches children in grades two through five a variety of aspects of gardening, from planting, insect control, harvesting, and, of course, eating.

“We introduce them to healthy foods,” said Joy Close, of the Wisconsin Rapids gardeners involved in the program. “They learn abut plants, how they grow, how to take care of them.”

A garden for kids wouldn’t be complete without a session on bugs.

“They spend one whole session on earth worms — the good and bad about earthworms,” Close said.

Children who attend especially like tending to their own plants, which they get to harvest and take home to share with their families, and working on the pizza garden.

The children plant herbs and 42

vegetables needed to make pizza.

“They have a lot of fun with that,” Close said.

“Whatever they harvest, they eat.”

Kids aren’t the only ones who like to play in the dirt. The blossoming interest in gardening is spreading throughout the community.

“We increase (selections) every year, and we still sell out of tomatoes, peppers, just about every kind of vegetable,” said Jean Reeves, owner of Reeve’s Greenhouse, 467 Pepper Ave. Reeves attributed the economy to the business increase she has seen over the last few years. By growing their own produce, residents can be sure they always have fresh, quality vegetables at a good price.

“And it tastes so much better if it’s freshly grown,” Reeves said.

The greenhouse offers starter plants for many vegetables, which means there still is time to plant and have fresh veggies throughout the summer.

It’s a little late to start right from the seeds — those need to be planted in March and April — but the greenhouse

All About You

y t i r a l u pop

offers starter plants for many vegetables that can be planted through late May and early June. Tomatoes and green peppers are perennial favorites, she said.

Given the cold, wet weather in May that followed an unseasonably warm and dry April, waiting might have been a good thing.

“Everyone that jumped the gun a little bit, is probably wishing they hadn’t now,” Reeves said.

Reeves provides the following gardening tips: “If they are planting tomatoes, it’s a good idea to get some that mature at different times, so they don’t all ripen at the same time,” she said.

Space — or lack of it — shouldn’t be an issue.

“A lot of people are doing the container gardening, now, even for vegetables, like a pot on their patio,” Reeves said.

Plants especially suited for container gardening now are available.

Raised gardening has been increasing popular, Reeves said.

“It makes it a little easier, you

❙ s u m m e r 2 0 1 0 ❙ mar shfieldyou.com

don’t have to pull the weeds as much, and diseases can be controlled a little more with a raised bed,” she said.

While doing your own gardening is more work than running to the store, Reeves said gardeners don’t have to devote hours and hours to tending the plots.

“I don’t think you have to weed daily,” she said. “It’s probably better to water your vegetables a good amount maybe like every 2-3 days, unless it’s really hot.”

To avoid disease, plants should be watered in the morning or early afternoon.

“Don’t water late at night, because the moisture and humidity can cause diseases,” Reeves said.

Gardening can offer many other benefits — it’s something families can do together, from planning, to planting, to picking and preparing delicious meals.

“I just think (gardening) teaches (children) that gardening can be beneficial to them for the rest of their lives, and it helps them to appreciate where their food comes from,” Close said.

I arrived hungry on a Friday evening, and I went directly to the “Armella Dining Room.” The seating arrangements are what I call “family style,” with rows of tables set close together to accommodate a larger number of people. There are also a few booths available.

As it has been sometime since my last visit, I knew I was going to take advantage of the fabulous Friday fish buffet. I really enjoy the

buffet-style, as I don’t need to study a menu and try to choose. The soup of the day, fresh salads, all the relishes and other fixing are on the salad bar part of the buffet. On the Friday fish buffet there is shrimp, baked fish, batter-fried cod, mashed potatoes, gravy, baked chicken and vegetables. If you are still hungry, the buffet also has a dessert bar, which includes a wide assortment of sweets — cookies, cakes, bars and

other amazing creations.

The Fresh Country Aire also has a great choice on their menu. All dinners include the soup, salad and dessert bar and a choice of baked potato, fries, wedges or hash browns.

On the lake and sea side there is the walleye, jumbo shrimp, tuna steak, salmon steak, frog legs and much more. If, you would rather have chicken, then try the chicken Parmesan, chicken Contessa or some of the other options.

Ribeye steak, top sirloin, filet mignon, prime rib, liver and onions are all offered on the menu.

I was impressed on the hard working staff, who really made everyone feel welcomed while taking care of all their duties. Chef Jamey has 20 years at the Fresh Country Aire and does an awesome job. continued on page 46

Home has rich

y r o t s i H

By Nancy Quick For YOU Magazine

Not many homes can lay claim to the fact that there have only been two owners in more than 100 years, but the Kahoun home at 340 Lincoln St. does. It is one of the historic homes in Wisconsin Rapids.

The home was built in 1903 for L.A. DeGuere and his family. DeGuere was an architect and engineer, and the home was designed by his business partner, Martin Jacobson.

The two worked in the paper 48

industry and designed some buildings in the city, including the Triangle building on the east side of the Wisconsin River.

Jack and Sigrid Kahoun, who will celebrate their 60th wedding anniversary in June, bought the home from the DeGuere family in 1961. They needed space for their six children, said Jack Kahoun.

“It wasn’t unusual for three of the children to be practicing music at the same time,”

All About You

says Sigrid Kahoun. She was a music teacher and Jack worked at Consolidated Papers Inc. After the children were grown, the couple turned the home into a Bed and Breakfast and during that time made friends with their guests, many who made return visits. They ran the B&B for five years starting in 1996.

“We had one family who came from England and others from throughout the United States,” says Jack Kahoun.

“We connected with many of them and they made return visits.”

The home sits on almost an acre of land that slopes down in the back. There are a dozen gardens throughout the yard,

❙ s u m m e r 2 0 1 0 ❙ mar shfieldyou.com

some with plantings from before the Kahouns bought the house.

The gardens are not the only visual draw to the outdoor landscape — an angel in the backyard is shaped from a dead maple tree, carved by a man from Rhinelander.

In addition to flowers and plants, Sigrid Kahoun grows blueberries, strawberries and raspberries.

“The soil is just right for the berries,” she said.

There are several porches around the home and the front door opens from one of them into a spacious foyer with the stairway to the right and the living room the left.

There is an enclosed porch off the living room at the front of the house. Straight back is the dining room and kitchen. There are three and a half bathrooms in the home.

The staircase landing includes a uniquely shaped oval leaded-glass window and there is space for a

small sitting area. The floors are maple and all of the oak woodwork throughout the home has been refinished by Sigrid Kahoun.

“It was painted when we moved in,” she said.

While many of the original features of the home remain, there have been a few additions.

“We built a master bedroom suite on the first floor and added eight feet to the kitchen,” said Jack Kahoun.

The kitchen also has been updated with new appliances including two large baking ovens and a granite countertop. There is a laundry room on the first floor and a large redwood deck off

the kitchen.

There are five bedrooms and two bathrooms on the second floor and three of the rooms have furniture that was in the home when the Kahouns purchased it.

Echoes of the White House come to mind, as a few of the rooms bear names.

Of special interest in the Blue Room is a unique four poster bed and claw-foot tub with shower. This bathroom is shared with three other bedrooms.

The Rose Room has

All About You

its own private bath with tub and shower. Another bedroom at the front of the home has a brass bed that Sigrid Kahoun found in the attic and refinished.

There is a full stairway to the attic — which has its good and bad points.

“That makes it too easy to save everything,” said Jack Kahoun. “You just take it upstairs.”

A second stairway at the

back of the home was closed off when the kitchen was remodeled.

A photo of the home when it was built shows that there were no other homes nearby, but there was a school across the street. The building has changed over the years and served as a vocational school, Lincoln High School and currently East Junior High School.

The neighbors — and the neighborhood might have changed, but the Kahouns have always made it a point to be friends with those neighbors.

The kitchen is the heart of many homes, an all-purpose area where much of life happens. But in the end, it has just one function that makes it unique among rooms: It’s where you cook.

Clutter, distractions, poor workflow — sometimes a kitchen’s layout can hinder the cooking process more than it helps. Decorating can create similar pitfalls. But a well-planned kitchen can boost your cooking experience and make the room an even more treasured space.

hen c t i K 10 remodeling ideas

1. Think through the kitchen design More than any other room kitchens need to be precisely planned. If you’re remodeling, you need to go out and really touch and feel all the appliances and see what’s out there. Think about how you really cook. Where do I put my spoon? Where do I like to have my towels? accessories and appliances are available to the public.

zones. Popular examples are a baking center, coffee bar and pizza-making station.

4. Simplicity and timeless-

ness: Go with classic colors, a classic backsplash, a traditional look. You don’t want to date your kitchen.

5.

Clear the deck: Don’t have clutter on the counter.

Devote counter space to cooking tools and fresh fruits and vegetables, but nothing else. Keep your go-to items (wooden spoons, whisks, etc.) next to the stove in one large, open container. A walk-in pantry is trendy because an airy, uncluttered kitchen is

7.

Simple shades with dashes of color such as a white kitchen with a large, white farmhouse sink, or white Cararra marble countertops, which work with contemporary or classic decor.

White Cararra marble is very durable. In fact, the more it’s worn, the more beautiful it is.

The placement of accent colors is the key. Keep the inspiring dashes of bold color

Cabinet doors can be renovated to update the kitchen for a fraction of the cost of replacement. White cabinets are very popular.

New cabinetry gets pricey because of fabrication, removal and installation. But if cabinets are in good shape, have a carpenter add a band of molding to the front of cabi-

net doors, then spray them with oil paint in a gloss finish.

Replacing cabinet hardware can add style, while making cabinets easier to use. Glass and chrome hardware adds an element of glamour.

10. The finishing touch

Once the space is cleared of all clutter and decked out in a clean, crisp color palette, and all your cooking tools are conveniently at hand, hang just one or two pieces of inspiring art.

8. Storage changes Consider changing your cabinets and storage to suit your cooking style. Do you prefer closed drawers or open shelving? Could you use more storage close to your stove? It’s possible to change just one or two cabinets, rather than the entire set. More kitchens are extending cabinets to the ceiling and storing rarely used items up high to clear more space in the immediate cooking area.

Busy woman makes time for things

By Nancy Quick For YOU Magazine

important

Kelly Akkerman is a woman who does it all and loves every minute of it.

She owns The In Boutique at Rapids Mall and works full time in the office at Riverview Hospital. She also finds time to do other things she enjoys.

Kelly, 46, is a 1982 graduate of Lincoln High School and has an Associate Degree in Business. After graduation, she worked at Seifert’s in Wausau, and then moved to a sister store in the Phoenix area of Arizona where she became a store manager/buyer of accessories and clothing.

“This was the mid ‘80s, and in those days we all wore suits and heels to work,” she says.

“Attending the Los Angeles Apparel Mart every six weeks was a way to keep up with fashion and a lot of fun.”

In 1991, she returned to Wisconsin Rapids and took an office job with Dr. William Sheker before going to work at Riverview Hospital in 1995.

“In 2003-04 I took part in a Leadership Class and then attended an Entrepreneurial Boot Camp that helps people prepare to start a business,” she says.

Because of her background in retail, Kelly decided owning her own store was a good idea and “now was the time.”

She owns the Merle Norman Franchise and when she bought the business she attended a two-week workshop in Los Angeles on its products. She offers free makeovers by appointment and for a small charge will make up women for weddings and proms.

She partnered with “Sandy’s” for the clothing and accessories. Sandy is a woman who provides those items to four stores in Wisconsin.

The upscale clothing comes from emerging companies and allows smaller stores to provide unique items for their customers. “If something doesn’t sell in this area

we can move it to another of Sandy’s stores,” says Kelly.

The store was located in one of the smaller spaces at Rapids Mall and in 2008 she moved to a larger location.

In January, Kelly added 2 B Continued a resale/consignment room. “I love shopping consignment stores and it seemed to be the right time to do it,” she says.

In a typical week, Kelly works 32 hours at Riverview Hospital and puts in 25 hours of floor time at The In Boutique. She spends additional hours at meetings and on paper work. “I have four employees at the boutique, some since day one, which is amazing in retail,” she says.

“They are good people.”

In January, Kelly received the Progress Award from the Heart of Wisconsin Business Alliance for “her commitment to the community and the growth of her business,” said Krista Dhein,

director of member services and events.

In addition to her work schedule, Kelly gives back to the community through her volunteer work. Her Leadership Class helped establish the Neighborhood Table and she serves on its board of directors and handles to-go orders at the weekly dinner.

She also is on the board of directors for the North Central Workforce Development Board and the Riverview Hospital Foundation. She would be willing to golf every day if she could, but settles for each Monday evening during the season. “You make time for what’s important,” she says.

Kelly and her husband, Patrick, live in Wisconsin Rapids.

Wine, cheese shop offers plethora of palette Personalized attention has customers coming back

n y By YOU Magazine Staff a Featuring about 50 statemade artisan cheeses and e wines unavailable in grocery r stores, Market on Sixth in Marshfield is drawing cuse tomers from throughout central Wisconsin. d “I’ve never been a wine . drinker, so I went there for the s cheeses and it’s so nice,” said t Kathy Rhyner of Marshfield.

“There are so many kinds I didn’t know about. It really showcases our local cheese.”

The Market on Sixth staff members are trained to help customers chose cheese and wine, and they can help pair either of the items with a meal, said shop manager Liz Krueger.

“Whether someone is pairing wine with a dinner or giving a nice bottle as a gift or deciding what to serve with a cheese, we’re happy to help,” Krueger said.

The personalized attention led Rhyner to venture into tasting wine, she said.

“I’m learning so much from going there that I am enjoying a bit of wine,” she said.

“And they remember what I bought, and when I’m there ask me what I thought of the recommended wine. The attention to details is really nice.”

Since Market on Sixth opened in November, the most popular wines have been a red Spanish blend, Mustiguillo, selling for about $26; two white wines, a late harvest Riesling, B Lovely, at about $15 a bottle; and a Sauvignon Blanc, Ventisquero, for about $24, Krueger said.

The best-selling cheese has been the Gouda varieties from the Holland Family Farm in Thorp.

“Their cheeses are popular,” Krueger said. To help customers choose cheeses, everything is available to sample.

While buying cheese for family dinners, Laura Coleman of Marshfield said she

purchased a Wisconsin parmesan to serve with Italian food and found that her sons liked it so much that she needs to buy a pound every two weeks.

“It’s really good cheese and, yes, I was surprised at the variety,” Coleman said.

coons, possums and birds, so you might be forced to share your harvest with these and other animals. My experience, though, has been that once these trees get some size to them, they yield enough to satisfy winged, four-legged and two-legged creatures alike.

Native fruits also are easy to prune. In their youth, they need only enough pruning to shape them into a sturdy

framework of well-positioned main branches. With age, these plants require little or no pruning. Occasional dead or wayward branches need to be cut away, but what’s required is nothing like the combination of science and art required to prune, for example, an apple tree.

Like any plant, native fruit trees grow well only if given a suitable site. They bear the best crops in full sun, yet will

Take a walk through the woods in many parts of the country in coming months and you might find some tasty fruits dangling from the branches of wild trees.

Some of these trees also are available through nurseries because they are such ideal landscape plants, naturally blending with their surroundings to provide beauty as well as food.

grow well and bear some fruits even in partial shade.

Especially the first season, give them the same care you dwould any other young plant, ,keeping weeds at bay and rwatering when necessary. d Here are four of my favorite dnative fruits: s • Pawpaw has also been ecalled the Hoosier banana, dthe Michigan banana, the -whatever-state-it-grows-in banana. It is native throughtout the East, as far west as Nenbraska. The fruit tastes similar eto banana, with some vanilla lcustard, mango and pineap-

ple mixed in. The texture is smooth and creamy, also banana-like, except for the inedible, lima-bean-size seeds in the flesh. The medium-size tree has a pyramidal form and long, lush green leaves that turn a clear yellow in autumn. Although pawpaw looks and tastes tropical, it can grow anywhere that winter temperatures stay above about minus 20 degrees!

• Juneberries are native from coast to coast. Juneberry is commonly planted as an ornamental, primarily for its blossoms — white or red-

dish, and opening early in the season — and for its leaves, which turn vibrant shades of purple, orange and yellow in autumn. The fruits are the size of blueberries and usually dark blue, but that’s where blueberry and juneberry part company. Juneberry fruits are sweet and juicy, with the richness of cherries and a hint of almond.

• Mulberry fruits resemble those of blackberry in shape, but range in color from deep black to red to lavender to pure white. Fruits on wild trees often are syrupy sweet,

endearing them especially to children. The best varieties, such as Illinois Everbearing, have a refreshing dash of tartness. Illinois Everbearing, like many of the wild mulberry trees you may find, are actually hybrids of our native red mulberry with the white mulberry, which was introduced from China more than 150 years ago for raising silkworms. Mulberries are native to the East, but would do well over most of the country.

How to deal with man at the car dealership

By Mary Jo Wheeler For YOU Magazine Have you been to the car dealership and witnessed firsthand Neanderthal man attempting to speak something to you, or, perhaps, not even making eye contact with you, but rather looking at and attempting to engage with whom he thinks is his Neanderthal brethren (um, that would be your husband or partner)?

Women buy 54 percent of new cars in the United States, however they influence up to 80 percent of the purchases. We request 65 percent of the mechanical service work done at dealerships; all of this amounts to $200 billion worth of purchasing “powher.”

There are only 240 General Motors dealership in the United States that are woman-owned. In Marshfield, we are privileged to have one of those woman-owned dealerships right in our backyard.

General Motors is proactively reaching out to women in several ways. This is Wheelers of Marshfield’s way of reach64

ing out to our women buyers.

Here are some tips on how to deal with the Neanderthal salesperson that we as women have all encountered at some point in our lives.

Negotiating Don’t feel overwhelmed by this word. If you’ve never tried negotiating as an adult before, go to a yard sale this weekend and get that macramé owl planter for $2, instead of the $7 listed on the little round sticker. It’s really not hard. You don’t have to be boisterous, mean or even know everything about cars.

With a little know-how, and packed with the powerful ammunition you gathered from all your resources, it’s just a matter of smiling and laying it on the line.

Here’s how: • DO have realistic expectations of what you can spend, and what the car you are interested in is worth.

• DO find the right salesperson. If you’re not getting the

treatment that you expect, or you don’t think you’re getting the appropriate information, find the manager or someone else to help.

• DO inquire about extras.

• DO come prepared — bring quotes, loan approvals, rebate guarantees and your knowledge of terminology to the salesroom floor.

• DO stay positive and confident.

• DO research loan options before going to the dealer, to help alleviate fees.

• DO make an appointment with your salesperson if you’ve worked with them previously. Selling a car takes time, and time is money.

• DO read the fine print and beware of hidden dealer fees.

Go over the purchase order with a fine-toothed comb.

Make sure the tax, tag and title are included in the mix.

Fitness and Health: Outsmart a

By Gannett Media Eating two small snacks a day can help you lose weight.

Trouble is, research shows that we’re munching more than ever before — choosing foods that are high in calories and fat — and packing on the pounds as a result.

“Often we’re not even hungry, but because we’re surrounded by food, we’re tempted to eat anyway,” says Kerry Neville, R.D., a spokesperson for the American Dietetic Association.

Stop the mindless nibbling with these smart strategies.

The trigger: You’re bored.

Stay-strong solution: Take 10 minutes and do something else, even if it’s as simple as walking to the mailbox. A brief distraction may help the craving pass.

Healthy plan B: Have a cheese wedge with a few whole-grain crackers. At 150 calories, it won’t derail your diet.

things bring e l p Sim family joy you spotlight

By Cherie Tham For YOU Magazine

It is the simple things that bring joy to every day, said Teri Wilczek of Marshfield. Sometimes it’s as simple as watching her three young children be silly or holding hands with her husband.

When juggling the roles of life becomes complicated — mom vs. career vs. wife — the simple joys are terrific. From growing up on a Greenwood dairy farm to college in La Crosse to marriage and now working at the Marshfield Clinic, Teri said the founda68

tion for her approach to life was formed as a child.

Teri is one of three children.

“I am very close to my siblings. We all grew up driving John Deere tractors, picking rock and doing farm chores.

We’ve all developed a strong work ethic, which we learned from our parents,” Teri said.

Family is important. After finishing her degree in La Crosse, she began her career in Minneapolis when she became engaged to Ron. “We needed to decide if we would move there or come to the Marshfield area where Ron was working. We knew we wanted to have a family and that raising our children

in a smaller community was very important to us. We are so blessed to have much of our family close by and our parents are just 30 minutes away. Both Ron and I value community involvement, small schools and friendship — all of which we have in Marshfield,” Teri said.

Recently, Teri was promoted to the role of chief development officer in the Development Department at Marshfield Clinic where she’s been

❙ s u m m e r 2 0 1 0 ❙ mar shfieldyou.com

employed since 2001. She is very excited about her new position and looks forward to leading the fundraising efforts and providing staff with the support and guidance they need. Some of the projects Teri has been involved in include: The creation of a cancer survivors garden, the opening of the Child Advocacy Center, the expansion of the mobile mammography program as well as many other events.

But Teri also considers it im-

She is also active with Columbus Catholic Schools, Our Lady of Peace Parish, Marshfield YMCA as well as a board member of the Marshfield Area Community Foundation.

“I like to be involved in activities that help those in need and specifically like projects where I can involve my family.

One of my favorite projects is to make meals for the Ronald McDonald house or help at Rotary Winter Wonderland, because my family can participate,” Teri said.

While Teri’s day starts early in the morning and ends sometimes late in the evening with various events, meetings or community involvement, she finds it essential to establish a close family bond, like

she had while growing up, with her husband and three children, Sam, 6, Gracie, 3, and Sophia, 16 months.

“I work very hard staying organized, which makes my day flow smoother. When I’m gone in the evenings due to a meeting or community event, I try to make sure I’m home the next night to be with my family. Ron and I make it a priority to spend time together, whether it’s a quick lunch during the week or a late night chat. He is a very hands-on dad, and we share many responsibilities. I have an amazing support system of family who are always ready to help with the kids and some fabulous friends who are supportive and just a lot of fun to be with. Having wonderful daycare and great schools makes being a career woman much easier,” Teri said. continued on page 70

Simple

things bring family joy

Even on an off day, Ron and Teri like being outside with the children, watching them run and play. Spending time at dinner as a family is important, along with playing ball with the kids, taking walks or just watching them being silly. It is the simple things that bring much joy.

While Ron and the kids are very supportive of Teri’s career, Teri is also very supportive of Ron’s time away from the family doing something he loves.

“My husband coaches basketball at the university, so the kids and I enjoy going to

continued the games to watch his team and even host team dinners at our home. I am very proud to support him doing something he is extremely passionate about. Winters get very busy as he has basketball every night,” Teri said. “But we always manage.”

Teri and Ron are very dedicated and active in their careers and the community, which they love very much.

While Teri might have high standards for the work she is committed to, it is that dedication to her career and family that has been so rewarding.
