Ms. Regan is one of the members of an educational group Ms. Frueh started for students with diabetes.
Dealing with diabetes
No matter how tidy you think you might be, everyone has a tendency to become a bit of a pack rat sometimes. This is especially true in the winter, when cold weather drives us inside and belongings accumulate after the holiday retail season. By the time spring cleaning rolls around, many people are left wondering how they got so much stuff and what to do with it. “It’s really easy in the wintertime to tend to pack stuff in just because of the weather,� says Lisa Doyle of Angel on My Shoulder Professional Organizers in St. Joseph. Sorting through winter clutter and developing better organizational skills is a great way to start a fresh new year with a cleaner house and a decluttered mind. Not only will purging and organizing help kick-start easier spring cleaning in the future, Ms. Doyle says staying active inside is a good way to cure the winter blahs. Like most things in life, though, it’s easier said than done. “The areas that take up the most room is the place to start with,� Ms. Doyle says. This includes piles of blankets lying around you haven’t used in past seasons, old storage containers and lids in the kitchen or clothes in the closet you no longer wear. She also likes to start cleaning up her clients’ places of solitude where they go to relax, because if a relaxation space is messy, it can easily turn into a stressful space. “One of the worst places to have cluttered is the bedroom,� she says. Local designer Tabitha Yount of Elegant Interiors by Tabitha
Yount says people should go through the house and try to purge items about every three months, especially if they have children. “My motto is everything always has a space. ... If there’s not a space for it, then you probably don’t need it,� Ms. Yount says. She says a general rule of thumb is if a person hasn’t used or worn an item for about a year, he or she probably won’t use it again, so it is better to donate or get rid of those things before they pile up. “Otherwise they’ll store it away someplace and forget they have it,� Ms. Yount says. A technique she uses in her own home is to give her husband and each of her children his or her own drawer, serving as free space for any papers or small items to be stored throughout the day. This way, important papers don’t get lost or cause a mess in other parts of the house. Some of Ms. Doyle’s favorite organization tips involve repurposing everyday items into easy storage solutions and using ignored spaces as storage areas. “People should take a look at their space and better utilize the space they have,� she says.
University club targets students with chronic condition By JENNIFER GORDON St. Joseph News-Press
Type 1 diabetes made Lauren Regan’s freshman year of college that much more difficult. Stress and food, two descriptors which could categorize many university experiences, can aggravate the Northwest Missouri State University student’s chronic autoimmune condition. Stress raises her blood sugar. More than her peers, Ms. Regan has to know her limits with eating and drinking. Judy Frueh, a women’s health nurse practitioner and the clinical director of Wellness Services at Northwest, recognized the unique challenges college diabetics faced. Last fall, she worked with Ms. Regan, 20, to establish a support group on campus. “We have support groups here in the community,� Ms. Frueh says.

University club targets students with chronic condition CONTINUED FROM Page 1 “But being a college student, they have different needs. We thought it would be a better idea to get them acquainted with other students on campus who have gone through the same thing.” The group meets once a month for about 90 minutes and is open to both type 1 and type 2 diabetics. So far, attendance has varied. Ms. Frueh says there are three or four regulars, and she tries to reach out to newly diagnosed patients through the clinic. She also sends out a monthly diabetesrelated newsletter. At the meetings, a diabetic-friendly meal is provided, as is a description of what makes the food healthy. Attendees have gone through Hy-Vee with a dietitian to talk about healthy foods. Guest speakers have presented on stress management and other educational topics. Ms. Frueh says the focus of the support group isn’t on lecturing, however. She lets the students do most of the talking. “I love the meetings,” Ms. Regan says. “It is somewhere I can go, and I can say something that’s happened with me about my diabetes and they know exactly what I’m talking about because they’ve either experienced the same thing or some-

thing so similar.” Ms. Regan talks to her friends and her boyfriend about her diabetes, too, but it’s different talking to someone who’s felt the highs and lows of glucose levels. She was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes at age 17, which is considered late for a condition that often appears in childhood. Her medical team thought she had heart trouble, and after she passed out at school, she learned her blood sugars were off. Her endocrinologist told Ms. Regan she either had diabetes or cancer, so the college student was relieved it ended up being diabetes. Most of the time, her condition doesn’t hinder her in any way. She
watches what she eats and takes insulin before her meals. “The two things I can think of that I can’t do because of my diabetes are I can’t go into the military or be a pilot,” she says. But sometimes, even when Ms. Regan follows the right diet plan, her glucose number will be high, which can be frustrating. She’s shared that aggravation with the group and found that many of the other students have advice for how to cope with it. They’ll also share recipes and ideas for snacks that have worked for them. They give one another tips for how to manage alcohol with diabetes. Another topic that

comes up a lot is education, Ms. Frueh says. Students will talk about how to explain to family and friends why they need to eat small meals throughout the day. Through all the sharing, the group can help with another facet of col-
lege life, too: Fellowship. “What I’ve been seeing with the students is these people they didn’t know are now their friends,” Ms. Frueh says. Jennifer Gordon can be reached at jennifer.gordon@newspressnow.com. Follow her on Twitter: @SJNPGordon.

Breakfast cereal flavors are jumping out of the box. Milk, ice cream, baking mixes and more are getting infused with the flavor of the classic childhood treat. There’s even a line of lip balms and a cereal-flavored vodka. Snap, crackle, what? The trend ties into a broader hankering for retro foods and flavors, heavy on the comfort factor, says Cathy Nash Holley, publisher and editor-in-chief of the trade magazine Flavor & The Menu. Chefs have been using cereal for a while as crusts and coatings on savory items. What’s new is that cereals are being used in a more whimsical sense, even calling out the brand name for an added sense of playfulness. So you have desserts like the Shaved Ice Sundae with a topping of Cap’n Crunch at Talde in New York City or the Rice Krispies that top a flourless chocolate cake at Morimoto NY. Looking beyond restaurant menus, there are lip balms that come in the flavors of Trix (Silly rabbit, lip balm is for kids!?!), Cocoa Puffs and Count Chocula, among other flavors. Betty Crocker has cereal-flavored muffin mixes including Cinnamon Toast Crunch. And Three Olives released a cereal-flavored vodka called Loopy with a strikingly Froot Loopsstyle motif on the bottle. A fruity delight in every... er... shot? But it’s possible that may have been a little too spirited an attempt at the trend. After first pitching a story on the product to the AP, company representatives suddenly went radio silent, and ultimately declined to comment on their own story. A query to Kellogg’s, makers of Froot Loops, also netted a “no comment.”

Ms. Doyle also likes to put inexpensive photo storage boxes inside cabinets and use the labels on the front to indicate what each contains. She hangs pocketed shoe organizers on doors to store small items like cotton balls and medicine in the bathroom, or electronic cords in the office. For a countertop full of papers and bills, Ms. Doyle recommends that clients create a desktop action file, with section labels like “To Pay,� “To Mail,� “To Do� and so on.

This farm really lays nice! With lots of frontage on State Line Road, and W 351st Street, it’s highly tillable, and will make someone a great investment! The owners are very interested in farming it for 2013, but they are flexible on tenancy and will give full possession to a buyer should he so choose.
The greatest player in NBA history has mostly stayed out of the limelight since retiring in 1998 (with the exception of a few Hanes commercials). But ESPN’s Outside the Lines recently had a very lengthy and personal interview with Michael Jordan that you can check out at ESPN. com. In the article, the 50-year-old Jordan discusses the turmoil of owning the Charlotte Bobcats, life with his new fiancee, his alleged gambling problems, his father and even his favorite movies (hint: one of them stars Clint Eastwood as a farmer from Missouri). It’s enlightening and well worth the read. — Shea Conner, St. Joseph News-Press
