letter fromTHE PUBLISHER
Lately, gratitude has been pouring into the small spaces of my
day. You will see on our staff page Volume Vlll | Issue 1 which means we are entering our 8th publishing year with Heartland LIVING. Part of me is shocked thinking back 8 years ago this was just a thought and a prayer turned into my passion and a way of life. Believe me when I say from the bottom of my heart, I thank all of you reading this for all your support. I know Heartland LIVING wouldn’t be what it is today without my amazing team, my advertisers trusting me to give them the best coverage in the 7 Counties of the Heartland, and of course all you readers that share with me how much you love the magazine.
While sharing about communities, I have to say how proud and honored I am to be raised in Sebring, FL. I admit it has been hard to focus on the layout of this issue with what has happened in my hometown. My Great grandfather had a vision back in 1912 and established a pioneer community. He would be so proud of each and every one of you for all you have done and are doing for the families during this difficult time. They are going to need our continued prayers and support and we will be there for them. Sebring will stay STRONG! I love all the feature stories, recipes and events we have for you in this issue but one has to be my favorite being hands on from the beginning. I got to work with the most talented women or as Morgan McCullers called us, “Girl Bosses”. It warmed my heart seeing so many talented women working together and encouraging each other. I have to give a shout out to photographer Chrissa Greubel for the amazing photography and capturing my vision for “Bohemian Chic”. It brought back my “Hippie Days”. Thank you to Jessica Pleger, Bridgette Waldau and Kaila Albritton for bringing all your talent to this shoot. I couldn’t have done it without all of you involved. A special thank you to all our models bringing your beauty and talent as well. Please see our models names and all involved on page 39. I would like to welcome to our team of writers Rebecca Maglischo from Lakeland. Becca has shared in this issue her amazing knowledge on nourishment and movement for the human body. Her story on “The Human Race” is a must read especially if your goal for 2019 is to get healthy and take care of your body better. We have packed so much in this issue for you and I can’t wait for you to turn the pages now and I hope you enjoy. Remember we love hearing all your thoughts so make sure you share them with us through social media or email me. We will continue to strive to bring you the best as we explore all that is happening in the Heartland in 2019. Heartland LIVING February March 2019

BRIDGETTE WALDAU has been a graphic and fine artist for over 30 years. She received her A.A. from the Ft. Lauderdale Institute of Art and a Bachelor of Fine Art degree from Stetson University. She moved to Okeechobee in 1994 where she opened her art studio. Bridgette has been creative director for several publications, working with Heartland Publications & Marketing as art director since 2011, winning eleven Florida Magazine Charlie Awards (20152018). She is Arts & Culture Alliance Director (13 years) for Okeechobee Main Street. Bridgette is married to James Waldau, a retired firefighter from the City of Hialeah. RAFAEL PACHECO I am a Pisces and was born on the island of Puerto Rico. My dog thinks I am crazy for locking the door so many times in 10 seconds and my cats think I am made of catnip. Everything I wear is black, gray or blue. If I put on something colorful I must have been in a hurry. Photography is how I have let my artistic visions come to life since the early 90’s. Patience, kindness, sharing, sacrifice, love and not to judge I saw my mother practice these and they stayed within me. We are collective energy and all from the same Source. I don’t see the world through my eyes. I see it through my soul.
LAYNE PRESCOTT Layne was born into a military family, has lived overseas but did most of her growing up in Arcadia. After meeting and marrying Mike Prescott, she moved to Wauchula in 1979 and now calls it her home. She and Mike raised their three children there and now are reaping the benefits of their labor with six sweet, beautiful and perfect grandchildren. Her cooking style is eclectic and best described as “Southern comfort cuisine”. Her greatest joy comes from three things: her faith, loving on her family, and getting in the kitchen and “whipping” up something good.

Dating back to the 1960s, the word
Bohemian
can be used to sketch many different fashion trends throughout the last century. Bohemian chic is a style of fashion drawing on various bohemian and hippie influences consists of floral fabrics, flowing skirts, tunics tops, bell bottoms and printed pants. The practice of an unconventional lifestyle, often in the company of like-minded people and with few permanent ties. It involves musical, artistic, literary or spiritual pursuits. In this context, Bohemians may or may not be wanderers, adventurers, or vagabonds. Many elements of boho-chic became popular in the late 1960s and some date back much further. Bohemian jewelry plays a vital role in making the difference to any outfit. Whether it’s a statement neckpiece, an oversized finger ring, multi-layer chains, bangles and bracelets or handcrafted silver works, they will make you stand out from the rest. So, let us take you on a quaint and fanciful Bohemian photo shoot to share our gorgeous models Boho style for the 2019 trend.

The Human Race m By Rebecca Maglischo Photography by Emily Plank
I
take a deep breath in the darkness before I unlock the
door of Haka Fitness. It is January, my fifteenth January in the business, actually. I’ve watched countless goodintentioned people set out on a health and fitness journey, doomed before they even take the first step. I’ve watched a million “diets” come and go and come back with another name. I’ve watched people literally destroy themselves with burpees and boot camps. Over the next month, people will walk through my doors for the first time. They are coming in for me to tell them how to diet, how to exercise. Instead, I hope to entice them with Gretchen Wood, Yoga Instructor

T
he Human Race really hasn’t changed that much in the last 150,000 years. Well, our actual genetic make-up hasn’t. We’ve been walking hand and hand with Nourishment and Movement since the first Homo Sapiens dug their ten toes into the dirt and set out in search for food. These concepts are integral to our very existence. But we’ve changed the words and now we can’t seem to find them. Rather, we swing like pendulums from one extreme diet or exercise routine to another seeking the most miserable punishment we can find for our dietary sins, praying that this magical (albeit unsustainable) thing will be “it”. The very core of our survival as a species, though, has rested in the deep traditions surrounding nourishment and movement. No wonder we’re confused.

Lifem mimics nature.
In nature, there is no true "balance" as we refer to it- a fragile perfection thrown into chaos by the slightest change. Rather, there is a constant ebb and flow- a natural ebb one way paired with an opposite flow the other way. This constant, gentle fluctuation promotes life and prevents stagnation. Health and Happiness in your own life requires this same fluid movement. Sustainable changes, gentle improvements, and tiny shifts in the trajectory provide the basis for true life balance and for complete restoration of your relationship with your health. Often times, as individuals adopt a healthier lifestyle, the difference between their current state of health and the one they desire can seem quite incongruent, the challenges insurmountable. But you CAN shift the trajectory! You can create a vastly different health landscape by simply making small shifts that push your health in a different direction. „

Nourishmentm is an experience in which
your body and soul are filled.
It’s not a resolution to lose weight. It’s not a resolution to eliminate sugar, or cut carbs, or go low fat, vegan or Paleo. If you truly want to impact your health, resolve to experience real food. The foods provided by the Earth have sustained the creatures of the Earth for time eternal, a perfect food web. The further these foods get from their natural state, the further we get from perfect health. Demonizing food parts (think egg yolks and milk fat) and creating food like substances with misleading health claims, muddies the natural nutritional wisdom inherent to all of us.

A
world where a pile of nutrition is squeezed into a square with a weird texture and labeled a protein bar doesn’t even make sense. Nor does the separation of an egg yolk from a white. Your best health relies, as it always has, on beautiful, whole, natural ingredients. You must reclaim your kitchen. As you conquer ingredients and become secure within them, you find an opportunity to commune while you create! When you nourish your body, you are filling yourself with more than just food. It’s a mindset of honoring yourself, a recognition that you are worthy of the time and effort to provide yourself what you need. It’s not a mindset of restriction. It’s mindset of restoration. One meal at a time.... Heck, one ingredient at time, rediscovering the perfect interplay of flavors.

he Human Body is a wonder, adaptable in amazing ways. Today’s convenience lifestyle has allowed for the loss of integral movements. Reclaiming these "Lost Movements" is the first step in feeling your best! Everyone likes to get in a workout, check the box, take a selfie, and feel accomplished. While exercise is a specific set of activities with a desired outcome, movement is all the physical inputs on your body and how those shape your ability to traverse the world around you. It’s is all the things you do in the process of experiencing life.

It’s the jumping on the trampoline with your kids, the pickup basketball game, the family bike ride, the game of tag, the awkward carrying of two kids on the end of a great hike, and the race to the top of a tree with your son. Movement is wrestling and pretending and squealing and laughing. Movement is the good stuff that you need more of because it connects you to other people, lifts your spirits, and (psst! top secret) shapes your body without you even thinking about it.

xercise is what you mix in to compliment that movement. It keeps you strong while you run the marathon of life. Exercise should bring you back from the little injury you acquired while having fun, not cause the injury that takes you away from life. Exercise should make you better at the things you enjoy, not take the place of them. That’s a big difference.
Thank You for your Support! from Tania, Manny and Gabby
What sets Humans apart, and has allowed us to survive, is that we know how to exist in community. We can work together, and we can bond over that physical exertion forming even stronger connections. You should exercise, but you should move a whole lot more.

hen you take care of the process, the end results will take care of themselves. Turning your attention away from the actual goal and instead focusing on the tiny details creates a step by step appreciation for the outcome. It drives momentum with a million little successes and a million little learning opportunities along the way. Regardless of the goal, the “getting there” is the real magic. The process will be full of pitfalls and ugly moments; That’s a guarantee. I can’t encourage you enough to become passionate about those million little details, tiny successes, pitfalls and ugly moments. Dive into the moments that are right in front of you! Rest in those and let the big picture come together beautifully on its own- A picture of a life so full of moments and you standing front and center, a picture of health and vitality.

Nourish Your Body By Cindy Sebring Design by Bridgette Waldau
Healthy eating is not a diet. It is a way of living that does not require you to starve yourself nor to eat anything that you don’t want to. Healthy eating can become a habit, just like drinking your morning coffee or going to bed at 10 pm every night. It won’t be an easy ride, but once you manage to make it a habit, it will come naturally.

Fish and other seafoods tend to be very healthy and nutritious. They are especially rich in omega-3 fatty acids and iodine, two nutrients that most people don't get enough of. Salmon is a type of oily fish that is incredibly popular due to its excellent taste and high amount of nutrients, including protein and Omega-3 fatty acids. It also contains some vitamin D. A healthy diet helps pave the way to a healthy heart and blood vessels, strong bones and muscles, a sharp mind, and so much more.

ou haven’t tasted true Southern cooking until you have had a meal seasoned with the Heartland’s own Everglades Seasoning. A small, family owned business now located in Sebring has brought flavor to homes across the country for years and is a jewel in Heartland’s crown. Created out of necessity and a desire to make food an experience, it is now a household name and, for many, still is an absolute necessity for southern palates everywhere.

Shown above is an original package with "Monkey Dust" on the label.
uring the 1940’s Mess Sergeant Bill Gerstman, a farm boy from Alabama, was stationed in Saipan in the west Pacific. The 714th Rescue Squadron soldiers were given meals of mutton and goat but were so disgusted with its taste, they threw their rations into the sea. “When I got there, they were throwing the lamb into the ocean. They wouldn’t eat it” said Gerstman in 1985. Knowing the secret of great tasting food and desiring to eat hearty meals, Gerstman began experimenting with spices and herbs to please the Army troops. Through trial and error, Gerstman created a secret recipe that made the food, not only edible, but absolutely delicious. No longer was bland food being thrown into the ocean but devoured by hungry soldiers. His secret recipe, called “Monkey Dust”, was used on everything from scrambled eggs to burgers and Gerstman quickly realized he had created something special. “They didn’t know what they were eating and asked for more” said Gerstman.

After Sergeant Gerstman completed his tour, he returned to the States and resumed his career as butcher at the LaBelle Trading Post in LaBelle, Florida. With more spices and herbs readily available, he perfected his recipe. The people of LaBelle loved it. He was selling seasoned meat and plastic bags of his secret mixture. Using only word of mouth advertising, more and more people were requesting Gerstman’s special blend of herbs and spices. In 1976 Gerstman patented his secret recipe as Everglades Seasoning with its iconic logo. Its success spread like wildfire. In 1985 he sold the recipe to Gene and Martha Cross, the owners of the LaBelle Trading Post where sales continued to grow, and this special seasoning was distributed throughout Southwest Florida.

n 1992, four Heartland area businessmen purchased Everglades Foods and made the difficult decision to move from LaBelle to the Sebring Regional Airport in 2001. While it was a tough move from its birthplace, Sebring offered more space to grow and was closer for the new owners. Currently, Everglades Foods is owned by one of the four business men, Chris Sebring and his wife, Kristine along with daughters, Lindsey and Sara. Chris Sebring is a great-grandson of Sebring founder, George Sebring. They have since moved from the airport to their new, larger location on State Road 66 with plans to further expand. Their daughter, Sara, is an integral member of the team and is proud of their family legacy.

ith its success, Everglades Seasoning has become a bit of a legend. Locals desire to own a piece of its story. People have claimed their grandmother came up with the recipe, that their neighbor’s house is the location where the original seasoning was created, and it has even been used in an online catfish scheme with an individual claiming to be the heir of the Everglades Foods company. While all these rumors are untrue, it proves the community loves this company and wishes they could be a member of its history. „

Taste of the By Jessica Pleger
Serve these hearty St. Patrick's Day recipes, and you just may feel the luck of the Irish.
Open Face Reuben This open-face version of a beloved sandwich—a rich, tangy, meaty mix of corned beef, sauerkraut, and melted cheese—makes a satisfying meal. The sandwich may become a little soggy thanks to the sauerkraut, but since you eat it with a knife and fork, that’s not such a big deal. It’ll be delicious regardless.
Heartland LIVING February March 2019
92
Ingredients 2 T. mayonnaise 1 T. ketchup 1 T. dill relish (not sweet) 1-1/3 cups sauerkraut, preferably bagged, not canned
3/4 lb. thin-sliced corned beef 4 large 3/4-inch-thick slices rye bread 2 T. unsalted butter, softened 6 oz. Gruyère, thinly sliced
Instructions Heat the broiler on high. Combine the mayonnaise, ketchup, and relish in a small bowl. Cut two 12×18-inch sheets of foil. Reserve 1 Tbs. of the liquid from the sauerkraut and then rinse and drain it. Squeeze the sauerkraut with your hands to remove as much liquid as possible and put it on 1 piece of foil. Put the corned beef on the other and sprinkle with the reserved sauerkraut liquid. Draw up the sides and seal each to make a package. Put both packages on a baking sheet and bake until warmed through, about 5 minutes. Meanwhile, put the bread on another rimmed baking sheet and broil until well toasted, about 1 minute per side. Butter one side of the toasted bread and arrange butter side down on the baking sheet. Spread each piece with 1 Tbsp. of the dressing. Divide the corned beef among the bread slices. Top with the sauerkraut and the cheese. Broil until the cheese is bubbly and browns lightly, 1 to 2 minutes. Serve immediately.

Traditional Irish Potato Soup Traditional Irish Potato Soup is as simple to make as it is delicious and nutritious, and this creamy soup is perfect for a St Patrick’s Day meal or any meal. Ingredients 2 T. unsalted butter 1 medium onion, chopped 3 ribs of celery, chopped 4 large potatoes, peeled and chopped 3 cups chicken stock 1/2-1 t. kosher salt
1/2 t. garlic powder 1/4 t. ground black pepper 2 cups whole milk or 1/1-2 cups whole milk and 1/2 cup half and half 1 T. chopped fresh parsley for garnish optional
Instructions Melt the butter in a Dutch oven or large pot over medium heat. Add the celery and onions and sauté for about 5-6 minutes until they are tender. Add the potatoes, garlic powder, kosher salt, pepper and chicken stock. Bring to a boil and reduce the heat to low. Simmer for 20-25 minutes or until the potatoes are completely done. Use an immersion blender and blend until the potato mixture is smooth and creamy. Be extremely careful with the hot mixture. When the mixture is smooth and creamy add two cups of whole milk or 1-1/2 cup of milk and 1/2 cup of half and half. Taste and add additional salt and pepper if needed. Serve immediately.

The Black Velvet The Black Velvet is a beer cocktail made from a stout, often Guinness and white, sparkling wine, traditionally Champagne. Guinness is considered by its many aficionados to be extremely creamy, but when you add it to Champagne or prosecco, its fruitiness emerges as well. The proportions are roughly two parts bubbly to one-part Guinness, but you can mix it to taste. The differing densities of the liquids cause them to remain largely in separate layers and it’s best observed when prepared in a flute glass. The effect is best achieved by pouring over a spoon turned upside down over the top of the glass so that the liquid runs gently down the sides rather than splashing into the lower layer and mixing with it. The drink was first created by the bartender of Brooks's Club in London in 1861, to mourn the death of Prince Albert. It is supposed to symbolize the black or purple cloth armbands worn by mourners. It's a bit of a novelty drink, but, like Irish Coffee, it's found all over Ireland. Black Velvet is a terrific party drink. It's Irish, you can mix it to order as guests arrive, it's delicious—and it stretches your Champagne farther! Yield: Makes 1 Ingredients 4 ounces (1/2 cup) chilled Champagne or prosecco 2 ounces (1/4 cup) chilled Guinness Extra Stout Instructions 1 Pour the Champagne into a flute or other tall glass. 2 Pour the Guinness on top. (Guinness is heavier. If you mix it the other way around, it won't combine evenly and will need to be stirred.)

Original Irish Coffee When it comes to coffee drinks, there’s nothing more quintessentially Irish than adding in a little drop of Jameson Irish Whiskey to make a cold winter evening more enjoyable. Whether you’re looking for something tasty on such an occasion or a special St. Patrick’s Day cocktail to celebrate our national day, an Irish coffee is just the brew for you. Ingredients 1 cup freshly brewed hot coffee 1 tablespoon brown sugar 1 shot Irish whiskey, Jamison preferably Heavy cream, slightly whipped
Heartland LIVING February March 2019
96

The SFSC Museum of Florida Art and Culture Features
Ceramics by Bert Bogdany
The Museum of Florida Art and Culture at South Florida State College presents “Organic Geometry, Ceramics by Bert Bogdany.” This exhibition is running from December 5 to February 6, at MOFAC’s gallery located in the Alan Jay Wildstein Center for the Performing Arts on the SFSC Highlands Campus in Avon Park. Bogdany’s work exemplifies and challenges the malleable nature of clay. According to the artist, many of the forms in this collection are a combination of wheel-thrown and hand-built constructions. Using a potter’s wheel, these structures are formed by altering, shaping, and compressing the clay`s surface area. In rotation, the clay is methodically worked until the surface is no longer recognizable compared to its original state. “The forms are meticulously shaped to include an organic geometry that has occurred thematically within my work for over two decades,” Bogdany said. “It is my hope that these works express the same feeling of balance and unity to the viewer, as I receive when creating them.” The horizontal and wall structures are a combination of hand building and relief carving. “Working in the medium of clay for many years, I have discovered the inherent beauty within the unaltered, raw state of the material. Realizing the dichotomy of attempting to perfect a surface with a potter`s wheel that already holds an inherent flawlessness has caused me to expand upon my research. This awareness has influenced my desire to create a sculptural series that holds a truth in materials. The horizontal structures are meant to convey a harmonious balance between the material and the physical process of its alteration.” You can see more of Bert’s work at www.bertbogdany.com

Christa Culbreth Luna, Dealer/Owner
Celebration The Gilbert Family of Companies recently celebrated their 85th Anniversary with an event at Gilbert Chevrolet. The Okeechobee community, invited to attend the historical celebration, enjoyed music by The Sweet Talkers, as well as food and drinks. Gilbert Chevrolet is being run by its 3rd generation of owners. Christa Luna Culbreth is the Dealer/Owner of Gilbert Chevrolet. The dealership opened in 1933, in the heart of the depression, by Gilbert Culbreth, Sr. It was originally located on State Road 70 West. During the anniversary celebration, more than 300 cans of food for Big Lake Missions was collected. Jonathan Bean, Executive Director of Martha's House, presented a "birthday" gift. He told the crowd, "This artwork is a gift from Martha's House and everybody whose handprint that is on the canvas, marks 85 years of positive influence & growth that the Gilbert Family of Companies has had on Okeechobee."
