Nominate someone for a salon makeover Glamour Nails & Hair Gallery seeks noms for a Valentine’s makeover mother, who was very sick. She was seeking a local salon to give her mom a perm or highlights. Gulker called her, assuming another salon had already stepped up, but was surprised to hear no salon in Troy or Tipp City had responded. “I asked her, ‘When would you like to come in?’” Gulker said. “I couldn’t believe nobody offered to help them.” Before agreeing, Gulker asked her staff if they would donate their time to help the woman out, and they responded with an enthusiastic “yes!” The owner said her employees, hair designers Ashley Alsdorf and Nikole Jackson, and hair designer and nail technician Crystal Schaurer, are always on board when stuff like this comes up. “I give them the whole credit,” Gulker said. “They’re the ones who give up their time and their money. They want to; they have to feel it in their heart to.” Gulker is hoping for a big response to the makeover contest and expects to get letters nominating moms, sisters, grandmas, single moms, nurses, teachers and other

TROY — Has someone touched your life in a such a special way that you’ve been looking for a chance to repay them? Glamour Nails & Hair Gallery in Troy is offering a free complete makeover for a special woman in the community just in time for Valentine’s Day. “We figure there’s always someone in your life that deserves a makeover — single moms, nurses, anyone who has touched your life,” said Cyndee Gulker, owner of Glamour Nails & Hair. The salon is now accepting nominations in its first makeover contest. Everyone is encouraged to send an email or letter to the salon nominating someone who needs a little pampering and stating why she deserves it. Nominations may be sent to cgulker78@gmail.com or to Glamour Nails & Hair Gallery, 1085 W. Main St., Troy, OH 45373. Nominations must include your name, address and phone number. Nominations will be accepted until Feb. 9. Gulker and her staff will select the lucky winner within a few days, and she will be notified by phone. The makeover is slated to be given Feb. 15. The prize will include a haircut and hair color by one of the salon’s stylists, nails done by Gulker and skin care and makeup with Diane Sydor, an independent senior sales director with Mary Kay. The winner also will receive salon products for their new
hairstyle and a Mary Kay goodie bag of samples and products. “When you look good on the outside, you feel good on the inside,” Sydor said about why she chose to donate her time. “It’s especially fun with people who never wear makeup and then they look at themselves in the mirror and are like, ‘Ooohhh!’” Gulker is hoping other local businesses will get involved and donate to the prize. She is looking for a local boutique to donate an outfit for the winner, and gyms, restaurants, florists and more also are welcome to participate. If interested, call Gulker at the salon at (937) 3329281. Gulker wanted to offer this contest because she wanted to put something positive out there, especially with all the negative news lately. She was inspired to encourage people to nominate a “special angel” because when her mom passed away, the hospice nurses were so wonderful. The salon also has had a few recent opportunities to help people out. In September, the staff offered free haircuts to veterans and military members. Gulker originally asked her staff to donate their time for one day to help veterans, but they said asked why stop at one day, and the salon offered free haircuts for the whole month. They now plan to do it every year. Glamour Nails & Hair also reached out when it received a letter earlier this year from a woman asking a salon to help her

The giant red glittery bows covering the Christmas tree in the corner catch your eye right when you walk in the room. Sprials of gold, red and green beads hand off the branches, and the topper is a spray of sparkly red balls. The windowsill and fireplace mantel also are decorated in reds, greens and golds with snowy greenery draping its length. The downstairs hall is covered in gold trappings, and the solarium draped with white tulle and gold fabric. A sign in the solarium explains how the red rose became a symbol for saying “I love you.” In the 18th century, the rose was used to express love between two people who were forced by society to keep their love a secret. It also states that a single red rose given to a soldier returning from war is a symbol for courage or respect. A memory arbor sits on the landing by the staircase.

A beautiful garland decorates the staircase with white and gold mesh ribbon and ornaments hanging down. Upstairs in the FulkerNichols Gallery, Mirella Lewis from Allita’s Floral & Designs has set a table for two with a green centerpiece with pinecones. The rich color scheme includes green, brown and rusty red hues, seen in the full holiday tree and fireplace mantel complete with dangling stockings. Lewis added a military element to the theme with ribbons with the words, “I’ll be home for Christmas, if only in my dreams,” placed above photos of soldiers on duty. A decorated military jacket stands nearby. In the same room,
guests will see the Wall of Houses from Julie McMiller’s seventh-grade students at Troy Junior High School. The students have taken pictures of their homes, changed them to black and white, enlarged them and decorated them for the holidays. The creative kids used construction paper to create wreaths, lights, snowmen, bows, trees, candles, Santa and reindeer to deck their halls. A whimsical tree in the parlor of the Hayner Center is decorated with ribbon candy ornaments, teddy bears, clothespins painted like dolls, a paper chain and bubble lights. A large red and white striped bow tops off the tree. Jackie Boyd, Rhonda Copeland and Judy
Fiessinger paid further tribute to the military in the upstairs windowseat and second-floor staircase. Their tree is decorated with photos of soldiers in action overseas in frames made from twigs. A pair of Army boots sit underneath the tree, while a hat sits on the top. The windowseat features red, white and blue ornaments and more photos hang from the garland going up the stairs.

The lightpaintings expand the concept of light sculpture and light art and continue the traditions of op art and abstract painting. His sculptural canvases are created entirely with light and glass. Knapp’s lightpaintings are the intersection of sculpture, painting and technology. They explore color, light and space, and are one of many possible directions for the future of painting. Called a new art medium of the 21st century, lightpaintings dispense with traditional media and narrative content. The resulting objects are intangible, multi-dimensional compositions of pure luminosity. 456 Belmonte Park North ◆ Through Jan. 6 ◆ $12 for adults, includes museum’s permanent collection ◆ www.daytonartinstitute.org ◆ (937) 233-5277 Studio 14 TIPP CITY — Photographer Terry Glass has an exhibit of his artwork at Studio 14 in Tipp City.

dren from school. Kindness to one another has a way of spreading. It doesn’t have to be what one gives up for the new year, but how you will make a change in this year to come. I am starting off my new year with cooked cabbage. They say if you have it, then you will come into money. I’m cooking two heads! If you don’t see my column next week, you will know that it’s true … fingers crossed! I am also starting a “meatless Monday” at our house. I think this would be good change; maybe we’ll adopt another day like that as well. It wouldn’t hurt. I have been collecting quite a few meatless recipes that I have been anxious to try. Mark and I have almost cut red meat out of our diet all together. No offense to our dear sweet farmers, but I’ll eat other things that you have. No worries! I am hoping that 2013 brings us all new adventures, happiness, new recipes and peace. Happy cooking! Email me at dwolfe@tdnpublishing.com.

It’s a new year with a great sound to it! 2013 just has a good sound to it, doesn’t it? It’s a new year with opportunity to make it the best year ever! With all the terrible news that has been happening in the United States and abroad, it’s time to make a change. Being kind to one another would be a great start. Instead of resoulutions, let’s just do kind things for people. Some ideas are shoveling snow for a neighbor, offering to bake a cake for someone’s birthday, helping an elderly person with household chores or cooking their dinner or picking up a friend’s chil-
