Harmony finding

100 Miles From Memphis

For Grammy-winning singer and songwriter Sheryl Crow, music has always been an important part of her household. Her parents, Wendell and Bernice Crow, started out in Caruthersville, Missouri. When Wendell joined the Army and was sent to Schoefield Barracks in Hawaii, Bernice followed and they started their family. After daughter Kathy was born, they returned to Missouri, settling in Kennett. Daughters Karen and Sheryl and youngest son Steve all followed. Growing up in Kennett, Sheryl’s parents played in a swing band and she and her siblings all took piano lessons from the age of six. “We were raised with a vast appreciation of different kinds of music. It was a really great way to grow up,” Sheryl remembers. “My parents are very musical still. My mom teaches piano lessons and is an amazing singer and pianist, and my dad plays guitar in a band.”

“I loved growing up in Kennett. I have a ton of memories. The town is very small and everyone basically knows everyone and keeps an eye on each other’s kids. There were only a few schools so every kid grew up together and in a

community that was very supportive of us as young people.”

Once Sheryl graduated from Kennett High School, she went on to the University of Missouri at Columbia and tried to determine how to turn her love of music into something she could do for the rest of her life. “I went to University and I wasn’t sure what I was going to do in music, but I knew that I wanted that to be my focus as an occupation.”

Sheryl with her mom, Bernice and 2 older sisters Kathy and Karen

A Change Would Do You Good After graduating with degrees in classical piano and voice, Sheryl moved to St. Louis and began teaching music at Kellison Elementary School in the Rockwood School District. But Sheryl felt that she might be destined for something different, “After a couple of years of teaching and doing some local jingles, I decided I would move to Los Angeles to see if I could get some of my music heard while I was still young enough and unattached. So that’s what I did, I picked up and moved. When I left Kennett, I realized what a huge feeling of support I had just by virtue of the fact that so many people told me, as I was growing up, I could be whoever I wanted to be. I think my parents were, rightfully so, a little

terrified when I picked up and moved to Los Angeles, but they were supportive.” “We laugh about our ‘puritan work ethic,’ but I think my parents really instilled in me that if I worked hard and was a good person and just stayed my course that good things would happen. It might not be exactly the way I would envision it, because sometimes your questions are answered for you in ways that are better for you than you can imagine, but I feel like being from a small town and having people support me and tell me that they believe in me was a huge advantage.” >

WOMEN TO K NOW

All I Wanna Do Sheryl’s talent and hard work brought her incredible success in the music industry after she arrived in L.A. in 1986. After touring with Michael Jackson as a background singer on his “Bad” world tour for two years, Sheryl began recording background vocals and duets with stars like Stevie Wonder and Rod Stewart and wrote songs for singers like Celine Dion and Tina Turner. In 1993, Sheryl released her first album, Tuesday Night Music Club. From here, her career took off, eventually leading to seven studio albums, nine Grammy Awards, three American Music Awards, and a People’s Choice Award, selling more than 31 million albums. Sheryl’s latest album 100 Miles From Memphis was inspired by her childhood in Kennett. “I feel like what we heard on the

radio a lot came out of Memphis. We listened to a lot of country, a lot of Motown and we were pretty isolated. We’d have to drive to Memphis to see concerts. A lot of kids in America have that, there wasn’t Cable TV and most of your early years were riding around on your bicycle and experiencing life that way as opposed to watching TV, so that was a huge influence. The town was small enough that we could run around and there were always people who knew us keeping an eye on us, so it was kind of an idyllic small town American upbringing.”

Sheryl during an Interview at Mizzou!

Everyday is a Winding Road In 2006, at age 44, Sheryl’s music career was put on hold when she was diagnosed with breast cancer. “I was diagnosed at a really, really early stage. I went in and got my yearly mammogram and they found calcifications and told me to come back in 6 months. My OB called me and said ‘Don’t wait.’” Sheryl saw an oncologist, had a needle biopsy and was told the cancer was invasive. Her doctors performed a lumpectomy and she went through 6 weeks of radiation treatment. Today, Sheryl has been cancer-free for 6 years.

“You know, it’s funny, it was definitely, for me, a sobering moment. Everything just kind of came to a screeching halt, but so many great things came out of it. Just the way I look at my life and live my life now, just learning to put myself first.” “My family really rallied around me, my parents came out to support me. I have a great, dedicated group of girlfriends that were there all the way through it and were an amazing source of support. So I was just surrounded by a wonderful tribe of people.”

Soak up the Sun Everyone has defining moments in their lives that can teach us to be stronger and live a more fulfilled life. For Sheryl, these aren’t defining moments, but refining moments. “I love the idea that we are constantly in a state of refining ourselves, refining our lives according to who our authentic selves are, who we are supposed to be.”

Sheryl With Her Sister Karen

“I always encourage women, until we find a cure, at least educate yourself on what your family history is and knowing your breasts, know about getting mammograms after the age of 35. I know some oncologists would say after age 40. But that’s the best hope we have: early detection and prevention.”

Sheryl continues to balance her music career—writing, recording and performing—with her most rewarding job as mother to her two young sons, Wyatt and Levi. And no matter what refining moments come her way, Sheryl knows she has the support of her family, friends, fans and hometown.

“I think there’s a lot to know about our bodies that we don’t necessarily take a great amount of interest in until we’re diagnosed with something like cancer and I think there’s a lot to be learned from nutrition. There’s a huge amount of information to be learned about nutrients and foods.” Sheryl and Nashville Chef Chuck White published a cookbook, If It Makes You Happy, with healthy recipes based on Sheryl’s own change of diet while she went through radiation treatments.

COUG AR W OMEN

Real Cougar women would rather than read about it By Linda Franklin

he popularity of womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s erotica is soaring. Most recently this genre has been given a gigantic boost by The Fifty Shades of Grey trilogy penned by E.L. James. I admit I read all three volumes and enjoyed every minute of it. What a great distraction â&#x20AC;&#x201C; like a mini vacation from reality. Apparently, I am not the only one who feels that way; Fifty is now the fastest selling paperback of all time, surpassing Harry Potter.

thenewyoumagazine.com SUMMER 2012

Of course, there are women who didn’t like the books. They were very critical of the author’s writing skills. I wonder if those are the same women who put a false cover over Fifty so nobody would see they were reading it. I’ll take a wild shot in the dark and bet Ms. James isn’t losing any sleep over her critics. In addition to making millions on the books and movie, she is licensing out the name for a variety of products. She is doing a joyful jig all the way! Women reading erotica has become so popular that nearly 50 percent would rather read an erotic book than have sex themselves, according to a new poll. A survey by online site Dotty Bingo found 44 percent of women preferred reading about erotic adventures of others over taking part in their own sex lives. Of the 400 women polled — all between the ages of 25 and 50 — 43 percent said books like Fifty Shades made their own love lives seem routine and boring. That book would make anyone’s sex life seem humdrum. It’s no secret that to maintain electricity between the sheets, we have to work at it. One of the women polled said, “I’d much rather read about it then do it. It’s always exciting in a book and, the hero never rolls off when he’s finished and starts snoring without so much as a cuddle.” The women I talk to, my community of Real Cougars, don’t want to read about sex, they want to have sex. Whether they are dating or in a serious relationship, they are managing to keep the flames of passion burning. Susan who is 56, and married says her sex life is better than ever. She and her husband work at making each other feel nurtured and appreciated every day. That special out-of-thebedroom foreplay really keeps a woman eager for the main event. Romance means a lot to us. Barbara is another woman who isn’t complaining about a boring sex life. She is 62, divorced and dating. She prefers to date men ages 45 — 50. Barbara says, “I love sex and now I am able to enjoy it more than ever. I lived with mediocre sex during my marriage because my husband just wasn’t that interested. Now I’m finding out firsthand that it’s never too late to unleash your feminine sexual power.” So what’s really going on between the sheets? AskMen.com’s Great Male Survey 2012, polled 50,000 people from across the U.S., the U.K. and Australia to find out. Twenty six percent of the women admitted to faking their orgasms every time they have sex – and they aren’t the only ones. Over a third of men admitted to having faked a climax at least once. Women are conditioned on how they are supposed to view sex and love. We fantasize that we are the object of some hot stud’s desire (Fifty Shades of Grey, anyone) and yet, we really don’t want to take a passive position.

The research I have done revealed 3 Reasons Women Lose Interest In Sex: 1. Institutionalization of the relationship – same old, same old sexual routine 2. Over-familiarity – loss of romance and feeling special 3. De-sexualization – incompatibility between roles of mom, wife and sex goddess

Women are not comfortable with their anatomy, masturbate less than men, and have sex that is based on what works for men (that’s a topic for another article). If women found sex physically gratifying, they might not be so hung up on romance. And they might not regard sex as such a boring chore. Socializing women to be passive doesn’t work in the long run – Real Cougars can surely relate to that. And the idea that life-long love means nonstop, smokin’ sex is not realistic. Maybe if we could just lighten up about sex and see it as “a fun activity” for adults, we would be better off. But, unfortunately, given all the negative energy surrounding the whole issue of a woman’s sexuality, it’s not an easy thing to do.

Linda Franklin says,”there is no stopping a woman who has a strong belief system, passion and a dream. All things are possible”. Linda’s book, Don’t Ever Call Me Ma’am helps women of all ages tap into their power and live life to the fullest.

Liquid Gold

Getting Great Skin with Olive Oil

Thousands of years ago, the Phoenicians, Egyptians, Greeks and Romans discovered a natural product that worked wonders on their skin: olive oil. Olive trees were found everywhere across the Mediterranean and the women of these ancient cultures discovered that olive oil softened their skin and improved its elasticity. The ancient Greek poet Homer even called the substance “liquid gold.” Today, you can still use olive oil to make your skin glow like a modern-day goddess.

Choosing Your Olive Oil You can reap the natural benefits of olive oil on your skin, even if your skin is sensitive or oily. But you have to choose the right type of olive oil to maximize its impact. First, if you can afford the splurge, look for an organic olive oil. Regular olive oil will still benefit your skin, but organic olive oils are certified to ensure that the chemical additives and growth enhancers that are used in conventional olive farming haven’t made their way into your olive oil and onto your skin. Conventional olive oils may not contain these chemicals, but only buying organic can guarantee this since their production is regulated. Second, choose an extra-virgin olive oil. Extra-virgin olive oil is the best choice for your skin. It comes from the first pressing of the olive so it has a higher content of vitamins and nutrients than other types of olive oil. Avoid brands using “pure”, “refined” or “light” types of olive oils since these have been chemically processed.

Get Ready to Glow Olive oil contains both vitamin E, which softens the skin, and oleic acid which improves the elasticity of your skin. It can be used as a moisturizer to alleviate dry skin and chapped lips, and to reduce stretch marks and scars.

thenewyoumagazine.com FALL 2012

About Face When applying olive oil to your face, always remember to keep the olive oil away from the skin around your eyes. For a quick remedy to remove dry skin, apply the olive oil to damp skin with a cotton ball and then apply sugar with the palm of your hand. Rinse with warm water until the granules are gone for an easy, at-home facial. Olive oil can also be rubbed on chapped lips to alleviate their dryness. You can also massage the oil into any fine lines, wrinkles or scars to improve the skin’s elasticity and reduce their appearance.

Head to Toe For an all-over body scrub, combine olive oil with sea s a l t for an all-natural e x f o l i a t o r. Focus on knees, heels, elbows and other rough patches. Or you can add a couple of tablespoons of the oil to your bathwater to soften your skin all over. This approach will make your tub very slippery, so if you prefer you can wait and apply the olive oil to damp skin just after your bath or shower. Be sure to give yourself plenty of time for the oil to soak in, so you

don’t stain your clothing, towels or sheets. Olive oil can also work wonders for your hair and nails. Olive oil can heal dry scalp, eliminate dandruff and deep condition your hair. Simply massage the oil with your fingertips into your roots or, for deep conditioning once a week. Mix equal parts olive oil and water and apply after shampooing, then wrap your hair in a warm towel for 5-10 minutes before rinsing thoroughly, conditioning as usual. You will be rewarded with extra-shiny, soft hair. Olive oil can also smooth down frizzy hair, simply by applying a very small amount with your hands. This wonderful oil can also be applied to smooth brittle nails and cuticles, just massage a small amount into your cuticles and nails whenever they need additional moisture. Olive oil b r i n g s a natural g l o w , head to toe!

Owner: Denise Gallagher

Jennie Annie’s boutique is a fixture in downtown Farmington, Missouri. Literally. It is housed in the oldest brick building in Farmington. But Jennie Annie’s appeal isn’t just in its architecture. When Denise Gallagher began working in the store 4 years ago, she immediately recognized it was a great place to be, “We all became so connected with our customers, I knew 90% of them on a first name basis.” So last fall when Jennie Annie’s was being sold, Denise couldn’t imagine Farmington without it, and decided to take on ownership of the store herself. “Our customers are still our #1 priority. We get to know their likes and dislikes, their families. I am always looking for new things for them to discover in the store.” Denise has made Jennie Annie’s a gift giver’s dream. Each season, the store switches out its seasonal merchandise, creating imaginative displays of holiday decorations all throughout the year. Right now the store features its Fall Harvest, Halloween and Thanksgiving displays. And soon will come Christmas, when the first floor of the shop is transformed into a winter wonderland. In addition to seasonal décor, Jennie Annie’s carries accessory and jewelry lines from Vera Bradley, Kameleon and Switchflops plus a wide range of home and garden décor including candles from Yankee Candle Company. Along with baby and Christening gifts and a large selection of wedding gifts, the shop caters to women looking for that special something for themselves or others on any occasion. Jennie Annie’s even has a monogram artist on staff so your selections can be personalized.

But Denise is proud to include the whole family in the shopping experience. “We have an entire room devoted to tween girls, ages 6-12. They can come in and make their own lip gloss, or sugar scrub for the tub while mom shops,” Denise says. There is also a special line of charm bracelets and fun jewelry just for them to enjoy. Denise also makes shopping quick and painless for the men who come into the store, giving each their own personal shopper experience. “My husband Kirk was initially scared of shopping, it can be intimidating to men,” Denise laughs. “But we make it as easy as possible, we have a Men’s Shopping Night during Valentine’s Day and also at Christmas, where they can come in and shop on their own, we also have a Wish List the woman in their life can fill out so it makes it easy for us to help them choose something their wives or girlfriends will love. They can get the gift, a gift bag and a card all in the same place!” One of the perks for Denise of owning her own business is the ability to spend time with her family, including her 2-year-old son Dominick. “Kids grow so fast, it’s nice to be able to take time to be with him.” Denise’s staff has been working at Jennie Annie’s for years, “We’re one little family,” comments Denise, and as such she gives them the same flexibility. “Give to others what you are most thankful for,” advises Denise.

Can Facial Exercise Remedy Sagging Facial Skin? o you loathe looking into the mirror? Do you cringe when taking pictures knowing that photographs capture your aging face? Are you considering drastic measures or have you given up, thinking that your face will never, ever look youthful again?

A sagging, droopy face can make us feel old; never mind all that talk about sixty being the new 40 if you are not happy with your appearance! You may have discovered that no matter how many facial products you try, your face still looks old. Oh sure, your face can look a little better after the latest round of dermabrasion and salicylic acid applications compliments of the aesthetician, but you know that the problem you see requires more than just skincare.

More aggressive treatments seem necessary for sure. Maybe you have considered using injections that paralyze. After all, your forehead is lined and mushy and your eyebrows are dropping. Your eyes look tired and eye makeupâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s impossible to wear. Yes, the recent horror stories nag at your confidence. Injecting a poison no matter how it is disguised via glamorous advertising does concern you and the recent disclosure of people dying from misuse of the serum along with the fact that no long-term test results have been forthcoming does makes you leery of this avenue. Oh, but those nose to mouth lines! How can one possibly stop those without using injections that plump or cut away the excess tissue?

thenewyoumagazine.com FALL 2012

Injections that plump are painful to endure and the results are so very temporary. Most likely you will spend a small fortune in the span of one year plumping and paralyzing your face only to have the very same to look forward to year after year. How many years can you safely use these products without longterm injury to the body? No one knows.

Counting on injections to keep you looking younger will leave you disappointed. Certainly, you will see a difference in your face but after multiple injections year after year, your face may look misshapen. Here's why: No one really knows the long-term ramifications of injecting all these different potions into your face.

How does the body dispose of these toxins and cadaver materials? Doctors that inject are not magicians. They can get it wrong. The injections do not always produce the desired results of a younger looking face; rather, the opposite is possible. Instead of looking years younger, your face just looks injected and maybe unreal. If injections are temporary, is surgery more permanent? Yes, the effect of surgery is definitely permanent, but the aging process continues to escalate. Just because muscles are snipped and sutured does not mean that your muscles stop drooping. Muscles support the skin and if they are in need of a tune-up, your face will sag even if you paid top dollar for a surgical facelift.

A face that has been altered by surgery does not typically age gracefully. The telltale unnatural slide of the muscles can produce small rows of cheek wrinkles â&#x20AC;&#x201C; a look that indicates that the lift is sagging and in need of repeating if the wearer does not want to look old and bizarre.

Sagging facial features are a result of disuse. Disuse causes atrophy. An athletic face on the other hand looks pretty remarkable and it defies aging. How? The athletic face is developed through specialized exercises designed to tighten, tone and lift sagging facial features. Exercise changes the physiology of the body and exercise can shape and contour the face when contractions and resistance are employed using the thumbs and fingers in white cotton gloves that anchor the muscles. Without anchoring techniques, movements do not provide the necessary components that will impact the muscles positively. From the inside out toned muscles develop and subtle changes work to make your face look and act younger. Even if you have previously have had face work done, exercise will certainly maintain the lift and help you to stave off further surgery and injections. Exercise changes the body and it can change your face so that you will look healthier and younger.

There are many things beyond our control that affect our emotions and moods. But one thing we do have control over is color. The colors we surround ourselves with, in our homes and in what we wear can actually influence how we feel and how others respond to us. So next time you are shopping for a new blouse or trying to decide what color to paint your bedroom, keep these tips in mind for a quick mood adjustment.

optimistic mood. It can also increase both your concentration and your metabolism. However, yellow is also the most difficult color for our eyes to take in, so it can be off-putting when used in excess, creating frustration and even anger.

Red

Purple

Vibrant red is empowering and stimulating. Studies have shown that the color red can actually increase a personâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s heart rate and blood pressure, which is fitting considering it is most frequently associated with passion or love. The color red can also connect you with feelings of confidence and power, but it may be disruptive to others, possibly due to its long association with danger or alarm. Red is a great color to use to attract attention, but a little may go a long way.

Purple is the color of majesty, dating from ancient times when only royalty could afford the dye to create purple cloth. Purple can make you feel authoritative and is a fantastic choice on days when you need to boost your intuition or appear more sophisticated.

Pink Unlike its bolder cousin, red, pink is known for its calming and soothing properties. Pink is a great choice to promote affection and relaxation.

Yellow Bright, sunny yellow can increase your energy and, put you into a more cheerful and

Green Green is a balancing color, helping to normalize and refresh. Since green is the easiest color on the eyes, it can actually improve vision and some claim that it can even attract money and abundance. Green also looks good on the widest range of skin types.

Blue Blue is another calming, relaxing color. It can also convey trustworthiness and dependability so itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a great selection for a first date or a job interview. Blue is also a color of healing so wear it on days when youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re overly anxious or angry.

Orange Orange is a passionate color, and as with yellow and red is best used in moderation. Orange is a more casual alternative to red, but it still signals action to others. Select orange when you need a burst of energy, like at the gym, when you want to increase

your creativity and enthusiasm, perfect for your home office, or when you need to stimulate your appetite, great for your dining room.

Brown Brown is a stabilizing color, but alone it can be a little sad. Try to combine it with other earth tones like green or blue to reduce stress and help you feel centered.

White White symbolizes purity and can help to repel negative energy and make you highly approachable. White can also portray peace and serenity.

Gold & Silver Gold is the more masculine of these two metallic colors. It symbolizes wisdom, prosperity, and go figure, wealth. Silver is more feminine, but also conveys wisdom and a little bit of mystery!

Black Black is formal, elegant, and of course, slimming. It can portray confidence and ambition, making the little black dress a fashion staple. But in your home, black is best left as a dramatic accent color.

The NEW Dance Troupe Quixotic…Shares Secrets for an Amazing Dancer’s Body! Photo by: Brad Austin/quixoticfusion.com

uixotic [sounds like “quickzotic”] —the aerial/dance troupe that infuses performances with everything from silks and trapeze to ballet, hula-hoop, and contemporary dance. Conceived by founder Anthony Magliano, Quixotic is an ensemble of artists from various disciplines including aerial acrobatics, dance, fashion, film, music and visual f/x. This inventive group of artists goes beyond the limits of any specific art form, challenging traditional perceptions and creating a total sensory experience unlike any other for its audience while exploring infinite possibilities of movement,

sound and multimedia. After seeing the Quixotic dance troupe perform, people walk away in amazement and comment on the troupe’s long, lean, powerfully beautiful bodies. “Aerialists specifically have development of muscles and areas of the body that are rarely seen in other athletes,” says Jenny Prohaska, PhD, Director Quixotic School of Performing Arts in Kansas City. “The Quixotic Dance Studio is headquartered in Kansas City, Missouri, but their performances take them around the world.” While most of us can only dream to reach these heights of skill, performance and gorgeous bodies, Jenny Prohaska shares insider secrets you can do at home— without a trapeze!

Consistent regular exercise, varying between stretching intensely and repeatedly using body weight as your own resistance.

■

Diet that is rich in whole foods. Some of our dancers have raw diets or paleo diets, which lend themselves well to a natural healing process that we need after every training session or workout. We avoid processed foods as much as possible and attempt to avoid all processed, un-natural sugars.

■

Varying exercise and making sure your exercise is fun! Also, doing it with a partner who is a good friend. All of our dancers, aerialists are very good friends and we train together to make it more fun.

“While many of the Quixotic performers throw on t-shirts and jeans in real life, dramatic hair, makeup, and costuming are a regular part of their performances,” says Megan Stockman, principal aerialist at Quixotic Fusion. “The minute they get on stage and are all bedecked, the big personalities come out. It really brings out confidence—a time to be glamorous, a different personality.”

“While you don’t have to dress like a sex kitten during your sweat sessions, consider showing a little skin every now and then, or playing with your hair and make-up before popping in that cardio-dance DVD,” says Laura Jones, principal dancer at Quixotic Fusion. “Importantly, don’t look at anything negative. Just honor yourself and look at every beautiful thing about you. The better you feel about your body, the easier it is to keep it healthy.”

Be a beginner ballerina. You’re never too old to learn dance, so if you’re interested, sign up for your first class. A basic ballet class will help you learn a lot of the basic poses we use in dance and aerial work. It will also help you learn to keep your shoulders back and your stomach and ribs in, which is great for your posture.

Relationship Do’s & Don’ts By Rachel Russo

One thing is for sure Lots of people have a love-hate relationship with the holidays. Along with the colored lights, baked goods, bows and holly, comes everything from the stresses of gift-giving to the lethargy from overindulgence in food and drinks. Did I mention the anxiety that comes from having to find a half-way decent date for the office party? How about the sleepless nights over the thought of having to introduce a new boyfriend or girlfriend to the parents? Whether you are single, sort of seeing someone, or in a committed relationship, there is a protocol for what you should and should not do to ensure that your holiday season is merry and bright.

For The Single Don’t indulge in self-pity and sulking out of loneliness because this is yet another holiday season without any prospects to kiss under the mistletoe. No one likes to be alone during the holidays—but this isn’t a reason to run back into the familiar arms of an ex or settle for the random hookup at the bar. Do put yourself out there if you are really interested in meeting someone special. Create new opportunities for meeting potential candidates. Whether it means attending every holiday party you are invited to, having a consultation with a matchmaker, or sending out emails instead of winks on match.com, do what you must to increase your chances of this being the last December with you, yourself, and you.

For The Sort-Of-SeeingSomeone Lay off on the expectations. Stop pressuring the one you hope to make “The One” by focusing on making your coupled status the highest priority this holiday season. Do not use the holidays as a barometer to determine his or her feelings for you. If she does not invite you to the big family dinner, it might not have anything to do with you! Don’t assume your relationship is over because he has plans for New Year’s Eve, which don’t include you. Do use the coming of the New Year as inspiration for evaluating how you really feel about having a relationship. Take an assessment of your capacity for loving the one you are with. Ask yourself if your actions reflect someone who is open to giving and receiving love. Make a resolution to find love for yourself within this next year. If you really want it, make a plan to find it—with or without the person you are currently sort of seeing.

Do share the joys and the sorrows. Enjoying the good times and sticking it out through the bad is the bread and butter of commitment. To keep the holidays jolly, create and maintain traditions with your partner. Baking cookies together, giving your partner small, meaningful gifts on each day of Hanukkah, or decorating the tree, strengthen your bond. Talking about the tough things—like how much you miss a family member who has passed during this time of year, will also bring you closer together. During the holidays and always, strive to love your love life—no matter what your status. Life is too short not to. Cheers!

For The Couples Don’t get caught up in the hustle and bustle at the expense of neglecting each other. Stressing out about finding everyone the perfect presents or making the vegetable lasagna exactly how his mother did can create tension in your relationship whether you’ve been together for two years or married for twenty.

Rachel Russo is a NYC-based Dating, Relationship, & Image Coach for marriage-minded singles and couples. With a master’s degree in Marriage & Family Therapy, an undergraduate psychology degree, and eight years of experience working as a matchmaker and coach, she is the founder of www.StatusMakeover.com.

programs to meet the needs of communities throughout Southeast Missouri.” Charles also works to, “Provide a great environment for associates to work and for physicians to provide their best for their patients.

Charles has come to Poplar Bluff in order to bring his experience and

dedication to one of the largest projects of his long career— the building of the brand new Poplar Bluff Medical Center. “My wife and I both grew up in small, rural areas. But during my career I’ve lived in Alabama, North Carolina, Mississippi, Tennessee and Georgia. We both feel that Poplar Bluff is the friendliest place we’ve ever lived, had a very smooth adjustment moving here and we’re very excited about settling into the community.” As CEO of Poplar Bluff Regional Medical Center, Charles takes that commitment to community very seriously. As a leader, Charles hopes to, “Develop

One of the most rewarding aspects of Charles’s job is “having an impact on the lives of people who depend on us, just feeling like you’ve had an impact on others.” To that end, Poplar Bluff Regional Medical Center contributes to numerous community organizations, but the most exciting example of PBRMC’s commitment to the Southeast Missouri region is the building of a $173 million new hospital facility.

The new Poplar Bluff Regional Medical Center will be seven stories, compared to the current hospital’s one floor. It will be over 425,000 square feet of state-of-the-art technology, designed from top to bottom with the patient’s care and comfort in mind. Charles explains, “The new hospital has been designed for efficiency to improve the patient’s experience.” From warm color schemes, comfortable furniture and décor in patients’ rooms and waiting areas, and the medical office building that is connected to the hospital—making it easier for doctors to check on their patients and schedule tests; the new hospital will bring patient care and service to a new level. The new facility features 250 rooms, all of which are private. There will also be a dedicated Women’s Floor designed specifically for women’s health services

and comfort. In addition an ICU floor, with 54 rooms capable of providing ICU level care, or a step down level of care throughout the patient's stay to eliminate the need for patients to be transferred to a different room. “Throughout the process, we have continued to improve on the design for our patients and revise plans with input from our physicians,” Charles says. “This is the most well-designed, thought-out hospital I’ve been a part of in my career. It’s been very rewarding and exciting to see everything come together and be a part of it.” When the new hospital opens in January of 2013, the existing hospital will continue to play a role in providing health care to the region. Patients across Southeastern Missouri will have more services and options available to them.

work continuing 20 hours per day, the new hospital is on-track for its January 2013 opening. The public will be able to tour the new hospital during the Community Grand Opening on January 19, with more details to follow as the date approaches.

Hey Good Lookin’

Whatcha REALLY Got Cookin’?

{

Do You Know High Heat Damages Food Quality?

“A diet composed exclusively of cooked food puts a severe strain on the pancreas, drawing down its reserves…If the Sally Burgess pancreas is constantly Certified Raw Food Educator Nia Black Belt Instructor overstimulated to produce Holistic Personal Trainer Owner, Edwardsville enzymes that ought to be Fitness Studio in foods, the result over time will be inhibited function.” Whew! That’s a mouth full! This quote from the introduction of the book “Nourishing Traditions” by author Sally Fallon, is drawn from the work of the late Dr. Edward Howell—a specialist in the field of enzyme research. Howell believed that humans and animals who consume diets high in cooked foods wind up with enlarged pancreas organs while their other glands and organs, “notably the brain”, actually shrink in size. Yikes!

thenewyoumagazine.com FALL 2012

here is controversy over the whole enzyme question though. Raw food enthusiasts believe that raw fresh food provides the enzymes necessary for digestion to happen without taxing the metabolism. Proponents of cooked fresh food suggest that cooking can actually break-down components of the food that are hard for our bodies to digest making the food more readily available. Perhaps the most important aspect of this exploration is the focus on “fresh” food. There is little debate that food prepared at home, raw or cooked, is far healthier than processed options.

Cooking with Olive Oil — Good or Bad? An aspect of the raw-versus-cooked debate that doesn’t get much attention is what is created and what is lost, when food is cooked. Let’s start by cooking up a stir-fry of colorful veggies using the highest quality Extra Virgin Olive Oil. No doubt you’ve been led to believe that cooking with olive oil is about as good as it gets, right? Well, no. No it’s not. According to George Mateljan, author of the The World’s Healthiest Foods, even olive oil hits its “smoke point” anywhere from 200 to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. When an oil gets to the smoke point all kinds of damage has been done; nutrients are lost, free radicals have been formed and unwanted aromatic substances are created. (Free radicals and unwanted aromatic substances increase our risk of serious health problems). What could you do instead? Use water! Put your veggies in the pan over low to medium heat and add one to two tablespoons of water at a time until they reach the softness you desire. In addition to not creating harmful substances, you will also reduce the caloric content of your meal.

Overcooking with Water So if you cook your veggies in water all is well, right? Ummm, no. No it’s not. In fact those beautiful vegetables begin to lose nutrients in a matter of minutes when subjected to too much heat. High heat is the key here. In the raw food world it is believed that food warmed to a temperature beyond 115 to 118 degrees begins to lose not only vital enzymes but also vitamins and nutrients. And it turns out that even folks who prefer cooked food agree that cooking can reduce the nutritional profile of the food. In fact, in the previously mentioned book The World’s Healthiest Foods, Mateljan offers an entire section on the effects of heat on food. Says Mateljan, “I’ve found it amazing just how sensitive some foods are when it comes to high heat— especially vegetables!” To make it simple, Mateljan recommends using low to medium heat, a small amount of water for steaming, and to stop the process once the food in question reaches a vibrant color. He uses green beans as an example—at about 5 minutes they become even more green than before cooking. Keep them going another few minutes and the color intensity drops and, he suggests, so does the nutritional value.

On the Grill Well, how about if I avoid oil AND cooking in water and just toss something on the grill? After all, restaurants tout their “grilled” selections as being healthier, right? Well, yes. Yes they do, but it’s simply not true. In fact you’re really cooking up trouble when you grill and once again it has to do with high heat. It is well documented that food exposed to the temperatures associated with grilling form a cancer-causing substance called heterocyclic amines, or HCA’s. The higher the temperature and the longer the cooking time the higher the amount of HCA’s. If you grill your burger or steak until it is well done you are ingesting a significant level of HCA’s and putting your health at risk.

Pouring Out the Nutrients What’s a person to do? Especially at this time of the year when our bodies and souls virtually long for a pot of steaming soup? Glad you asked! It seems as though many of the nutrients that are lost when food is cooked in water, and then the water is discarded, is IN the discarded water! So by all means experiment with cooking at the lowest effective temperature and reserve the water. For example, if you are planning on having mashed potatoes for a holiday meal, use the least amount of water possible, steam the potatoes gently and use the water as part of the liquid when you mash them.

What Makes You Feel Healthier When all is said and done, the healthiest way to cook and to eat is the way that makes YOU feel healthy. One person will thrive on a diet that is 80% or more raw, while another feels best practicing the ancient wisdom of Ayurveda which often calls for meals of rice, beans and veggies cooked together and enjoyed warm. Perhaps another achieves maximum vibrancy by incorporating both, depending on the time of the year and what is available. It’s good to know where there is agreement among proponents of the various nutrition camps though, and the negative effects of high-heat on food is generally well excepted. With a few simple adjustments you can cook the way you prefer and achieve your level of highest health!

8 Tips for

Healthy Holiday Eating

By Raina Childers

he holiday season can wreak havoc on even the most carefully contemplated diet plans. But with these 8 tips from Southeast HealthPoint Fitness Nutrition Services Coordinator Raina Childers, you can stop counting every calorie and concentrate on celebrating the reason for the season.

1. Focus on weight maintenance vs. weight loss during the holidays. Keep weight goals realistic this time of year. 2. Make a plan of action. Practice how to handle comments from family and friends that encourage you to participate in unhealthy eating or drinking. It’s much easier to deal with a difficult social eating situation if you’ve already planned for it. 3. Be physically active each day. Busy holiday schedules can bump us off our activity routines. Keeping our bodies moving can help relieve stress, regulate appetite and burn extra calories from holiday eating. 4. Eat a light snack before going to holiday parties. If you arrive famished you are more likely to overeat and choose higher calorie items. 5. Lighten the calories in traditional holiday recipes. There are lots of ways to reduce calories by reducing fat and sugar content of certain dishes. Replacing butter and oil in recipes with unsweetened applesauce or other pureed fruit works well, particularly in baked products. Using lower calorie versions of salad dressings, whipped toppings, etc. also keeps your calorie budget in place.

thenewyoumagazine.com FALL 2012

6. Choose your beverages wisely. Alcohol is high in calories and decreases your healthy decision making. Limit your intake to 1 or 2 alcoholic drinks per occasion. Eggnog is creamy and delicious, but the serving size should be around a half of cup. 7. Enjoy good friends and family. Although food can be a big part of the season, it doesn’t have to be the focus. Share laughter, cheer, celebrate and give thanks and try to relax. 8. Maintain perspective. Overeating one day won’t break your eating plan. It takes days of overeating to gain weight. If you over indulge, put it behind you. Return to your usual eating plan the next day without guilt or despair!

MEN’S VIEW

The 5 Toughest Questions a Woman Can Ask a Man

hat makes these questions so difficult is that every one is guaranteed to explode into a major argument if the man answers incorrectly (i.e tells the truth). Therefore, as a public service, each question is analyzed below, along with possible responses. (Please note: The following questions

are for entertainment value only—not to to be taken literally— so don’t take it out on your man...or us)!

What are you thinking about? The proper answer to this, of course, is: “I’m sorry if I've been pensive, dear. I was just reflecting on what a warm, wonderful, thoughtful, caring, intelligent woman you are, and how lucky I am to have met you.” This response obviously bears no resemblance to the true answer, which most likely is one of the following: ■ Baseball. ■ Football. ■ How fat you are. ■ How much prettier she is than you. ■ How I would spend the insurance money if you died. (Perhaps the best response to this question was offered by Al Bundy, who once told Peg, “If I wanted you to know what I was thinking, I would be talking to you!”)

Do you love me? The proper response is: “YES!” or, if you feel a more detailed answer is in order, “Yes, dear.” Inappropriate responses include: ■ I suppose so. ■ Would it make you feel better if I said yes? ■ That depends on what you mean by love. ■ Does it matter? ■ Who, me?

thenewyoumagazine.com FALL 2012

Do I look fat? The correct answer is an emphatic: “Of course not!” Among the incorrect answers are: ■ Compared to what? ■ I wouldn’t call you fat, but you’re not exactly thin. ■ A little extra weight looks good on you. ■ I’ve seen fatter. ■ Could you repeat the question? I was just thinking about how I would spend the insurance money if you died.

Do you think she’s prettier than me? Once again, the proper response is an emphatic: “Of course not!” Incorrect responses include: ■ Yes, but you have a better personality. ■ Not prettier, but definitely thinner. ■ Not as pretty as you, when you were her age. ■ Define 'pretty' ■ Could you repeat the question? I was just thinking about how I would spend the insurance money if you died.

What would you do if I died? A definite no-win question. (The real answer, or course, is “Buy a Corvette.”) No matter how you answer this, be prepared for at least an hour of follow-up questions, usually along the these lines: She....Would you get married again? He.....Definitely not! She....Why not - don’t you like being married? He.....Of course I do. She....Then why wouldn’t you remarry? He.....Okay, I'd get married again. She....You would? (With a hurtful look on her face) He.....Yes, I would. She....Would you sleep with her in our bed? He.....Where else would we sleep? She....Would you put away my pictures, and replace them with pictures of her? He.....That would seem like the proper thing to do. She....And would you let her use my golf clubs? He.....She can't use them; she’s left-handed.

Treating Breast Disease – It Takes a Team Washington University Endocrine & Oncologic Surgeons Providing highly specialized care for diseases of the breast, endocrine system, melanoma and sarcoma, our surgeons, including Dr. Julie Margenthaler, look at the big picture–not only treating the disease but keeping you informed every step of the way, all the while searching for the latest advances in treatment methods through leading research. Breast Cancer Care from the Beginning

Finding a lump in your breast or having an abnormal mammogram can be frightening. Women seen at the Joanne Knight Breast Health Center receive an expedited diagnosis and treatment plan in a personal, yet professional setting. The Breast Health Center is affiliated with the Alvin J. Siteman Cancer Center at Barnes-Jewish Hospital and Washington University in St. Louis, providing patients access to preeminent physicians who specialize in the diagnosis and treatment of breast cancer. If you are being treated for cancer, you will be cared for in a multidisciplinary program that draws on the expertise of one of the country’s foremost cancer centers. Rather than having to make appointments and travel to individual physicians’ offices, the specialists you need come to your examination room at the Center for Advanced Medicine. After visiting the Joanne Knight Breast Health Center, you will receive a follow-up letter describing treatment recommendations from our breast cancer specialists.

Our Surgeons Make the Difference

Catherine Appleton, MD, Radiologist

Washington University breast cancer surgeons are leaders in breast cancer treatment and use the latest techniques: ■ Sentinel node mapping: locating and removing only the sentinel lymph node–the first lymph node to which breast cancer is likely to spread–in order to check for evidence of cancer, ■ Brachytherapy: a form of radiation therapy used with small breast cancers that have been completely excised and have not spread to any lymph nodes, ■ Surgical approaches that aid in breast conservation.

One of Washington University’s leading breast cancer surgeons, Dr. Julie Margenthaler specializes in all areas of breast disease: ■ ■ ■ ■

Breast cancer in young women (under the age of 40) Patients with high risk factors for breast cancer Familial breast cancer Coordinating breast cancer reconstruction ■ Sentinel lymph node biopsy ■ Benign disease and breast health

Julie Margenthaler, MD

Dr. Margenthaler is the Director of the Breast Disease Fellowship at Washington University School of Medicine. She was the first graduate of the Fellowship, which trains doctors on all aspects of breast cancer treatment, allowing surgeons to answer all of their patients’ questions throughout the entire process. “Surgeons are the gatekeepers for breast cancer patients getting into the medical system,” Dr. Margenthaler explains. “If you understand all of the things that are going to happen downstream, you will be able to provide your patient with the best surgical care and understanding of what she can expect.”

Comprehensive Care at the Siteman Center Washington University breast cancer surgeons collaborate with radiologists and radiation and medical oncologists at the Alvin J. Siteman Cancer Center. Siteman is the only cancer center in Missouri and within a 240-mile radius of St. Louis to hold the prestigious Comprehensive Cancer Center designation from the National Cancer Institute and membership in the National Comprehensive Cancer Network.

Michelle Silberberg Early Detection â&#x20AC;&#x153;Saved My Lifeâ&#x20AC;?

Fall is my favorite season for many reasons. As a real nature enthusiast, I love taking in the beauty of the colorful fall foliage and relishing in all of the autumn activities from apple picking to bonfires and hayrides. We traditionally host a birthday party for all of the cousins who share a fall birthday at our home, making memories to last a lifetime. For me, fall is a time to take note of all the goodness in life and harvest all of those positive feelings, knowing that life is all about truly living until we die. Fall is launched with a focus on breast cancer. I have always looked forward to October's Breast Cancer Awareness month for all of the education and the fascinating stories that it brings. But for the past three years it has meant even more to me as a breast cancer survivor witnessing the love, care and support all around the nation. I feel very blessed to be here today to share my story in hopes that it provides a sense of security to you. Early detection is a weapon that we can all use against this dreadful disease. I love quotes and pinterest.com has been an amazing way for me to organize these messages that uplift and make sense out of life's challenges. One quote that I have pinned on my breast cancer

thenewyoumagazine.com FALL 2012

board is, "Instead of thinking about what you'll do when diagnosed, think about what you'll do now so you aren't." I believe this says it all for us women in gaining control over a cancer that will affect one in seven women over their lifetimes. In hindsight, I really wish that I had been more proactive and diligent in my self-breast examinations. I always thought that I was not at risk for breast cancer so I didn't bother to take the time each month to feel for lumps. I was only 42 and none of my relatives had it so I would perform the task maybe twice a year. I believed that my annual mammograms would do the job for me. In fact, I had a clean mammogram four months before my diagnosis. Lucky for me, one of my best friends prompted me to perform a

thorough breast exam on February 27, 2010 and I can honestly say she saved my life. Every month that went by, would have allowed growth of my tumor and the cancer cells to flood my blood stream. I call her my guardian angel as she has always turned things around for my family, whether it be referring me for my incredible 18-year career when I had lost my job or telling me a vivid story that allowed early detection for my breast cancer. At the lowest point in my life, losing my dad to leukemia in January, I talked at length to my friend in Texas. She shared her close call with breast cancer. She had a suspicious mammogram that necessitated a biopsy. Any woman that experiences this knows the fear that keeps you awake every night awaiting the results. Lucky for her she had good news but will forever be watchful. I left the conversation with the realization that this could happen to me also and I immediately performed a breast exam where I pushed very hard into my breast tissue. In doing so, I felt an uneven granular surface under the fatty portion. I knew this was normal from what I had read but there was one When I found out my diagnosis in Siesta Key, FL with my mom and daughter on our annual Spring Break trip.

small area that seemed a little suspicious. I would describe it as a pencil eraser buried in fibrous tissue. I could have easily missed it if I rushed through the process, did not press hard and didn't feel every square centimeter. I asked my husband if he could feel it and he just couldn't find what I felt. The next morning I started my busy day and toggled with the idea to call my Ob-Gyn. My thoughts were that fibroids run in my family and breast cancer does not. But my friend's telephone conversation resonated with me so I made the appointment. It took a week to get in and my doctor examined me saying, "It feels like a fibroid but if it makes you feel better, we will get you an ultrasound." That afternoon I laid on the table for my ultrasound without any fear or thoughts of cancer. I was just following through on the process. As the technician rolled the device over my breast, I noticed her studying it closely, which raised a red flag. It was when she said she was bringing in the radiologist that my heart sunk. I asked the doctor if everything was okay and I will never forget her answer, "It looks worrisome." At that point my eyes welled up and I could not believe this was really happening. This was a Thursday and I was flying to Florida on Sunday. How could I get my biopsy results before this trip I had been looking so forward to? When the doctor asked me, "What if you find out you have breast cancer on your trip?" I knew that she must know that the probability of good news was not in my favor with her vast experience. But I held out for hope and proceeded on a trip with my mom, my daughter, Courtney, and her friend, Bayley. How I handled it with my family is another story but basically I chose not to talk about my situation too much because I did not want to rain on everyone's sunshine. I was an internal mess for several days on my trip. Finally I received the phone call. I sat in traffic driving the girls to Siesta Key, let the girls out for a day on the beach, and pulled into a condominium parking lot. It was then that I learned the details of my breast cancer.

When you are diagnosed with breast cancer you receive a pathology report detailing out the estimate of the stage, estrogen/progesterone receptors, HER2/NEU, tumor size, Nottingham Histological Score, testing for tumor necrosis and many other terms that were completely foreign to me. I immediately closed the door to my room, researched and made dozens of calls to determine how I was going to handle my situation Stage 1 Estrogen/Progesterone +, HER2/NEU negative, breast cancer. I am blessed with close family and friends along with a strong network that allowed me to seek what I believe to be the best professionals to fight my cancer. All of a sudden my sadness went away and I was on a mission to be strong and knew God would help get me through this. I relied on my faith, family, friends and doctors to carry me through the next five months. Another quote I live by is "You never know how strong you are...until being strong is the only choice you have."

Because I did that exam so thoroughly and forced myself to make my Ob-Gyn appointment to check out this suspicious little eraser-type object in my breast, I caught my breast cancer fairly early at Stage 1. If I did it a couple months earlier, I may have caught it at Stage 0 where it would have never broken out of the duct and become invasive. >

of “ Instead thinking about what you'll do when diagnosed, think about what you’ll do now so you aren’t.

FALL 2012 thenewyoumagazine.com

P I N K PA G E S My BRCA 1 and BRCA 2 mutation testing came back with good news. Based on my test results I decided to take the most aggressive path so that I knew I did everything in my power to fight this disease.

I think it is important to highlight the fact that my mammogram four months earlier did not detect my cancer. Either it was not there at the time, too small to see, or most likely it did not show up. The image is black and white with the fatty part of your breast showing up white and the tumor showing up black. If you do not have a lot of fat there and have dense breast tissue, then it is very hard to see the tumor, as it is black on black. Having read up on the difficulty to diagnose dense breast tissue, I believe that my tumor was small and did not stand out on the image. If I had waited a full year for my annual mammogram, it would have been in the late stages since I had an aggressive type cancer. You have to make a quick decision on the type of surgery that you will undergo — partial mastectomy, double mastectomy or lumpectomy. The biopsy is preliminary and it is not until they remove the cancer that you have the absolute diagnosis. So you have to make an educated decision based on experts, your biopsy and educating yourself. It was helpful for me to read Dr. Susan Love's Breast Book, by Susan M. Love, M.D. A survivor friend bought it for me and I read the entire 600-page book in one night. It helped me to analyze my situation to make the best decision for me. I chose a double mastectomy with reconstruction. The final pathology results showed that no cancer cells were detected in my lymph nodes and my Oncotype DX report gave me a score that put me at low to intermediate risk for reoccurrence.

I underwent chemotherapy for three months with the most amazing support I could ever ask for. I had never been in an infusion room. It was scary at first but it actually was not so bad with the wonderful people surrounding me. I will never forget my mother-in-law and mom, the two strongest women in my life, sitting next to me cheering me on. I will also never forget the courageous and beautiful women I got to know during the four hours of treatment.

There are so many aspects to one's story with cancer. There is the discovery, understanding your diagnosis, the treatment, the breast reconstruction and all of the psychological and family issues that go along with it. Everyone's story is different and all of us women benefit from listening to other women.

I believe that not only “together we can find a cure”, but together we can prevent this disease from getting to Stage 1 with thorough monthly breast exams. You will feel it, you will get it checked out, and you will catch it before it is too late.

Cancer Can’t Rob Me oday is another new day and I can choose to use it in many ways. I did not choose to have cancer, but I can choose how I am going to respond and what I plan to do with today. Today is mine to make choices. This day can be a new beginning for me, if I so choose.

Today can be the day that I decide to exchange those things which weigh my spirit down for a lighter load of faith and trust. I can change my perception of cancer as a “robber” of my health and my future and exchange it into a vehicle to transport me into a life rich in understanding. This understanding will strengthen me and make me valuable to others who will walk the same path after me. I Can Choose To see cancer as a “challenge” instead of as a defeat. To demystify cancer by learning about my disease rather than cowering in fear of the unknown. ■ To give up concentrating on the “things I can’t control” and replace them with thoughts of “what I can control.” ■ To respond with a spirit of “I can” instead of “I can’t.” ■ To ask for help and not try to face the challenge alone. ■ To face my fears with a plan for steps of action against them. ■ To look for the blessings in the events of today instead of focusing on losses. ■ To add to my life the things I have always wanted to do but postponed until the right time. ■ ■

Today is the Time ■ To use my spiritual faith as a vehicle to understand why and give me hope. ■ To let go of anger, bitterness and resentments which only slow down my recovery. ■ To see my cancer experience as a new tool for personal growth. ■ To offer my support and share what I’m learning with others who may need my help. Therefore, I Choose for Today Peace and not anxiety, Good and not evil, Love and not hate, Gain and not loss. When today becomes tomorrow, this day will be gone forever leaving in its place what I choose today. I, alone, can choose to use today wisely. Cancer Can’t Rob Me of This Day! Judy C.

Lending A Hand was started in August 2009 by three breast cancer survivors: Tiffany Gossett, Erica Griffin and Della Bedell. Their 3rd Annual No Rules… Paddle ‘Til You Win raft race was held on October 6th. Founder Tiffany Gossett spoke to us about Lending a Hand and its importance in their community. “Lending A Hand is a non-profit cancer organization that provides assistance to cancer patients that reside in the Van Buren, MO school district,” explains Tiffany. “We work very hard to make sure people’s needs are met that are going through this difficult time in their lives. As a fellow survivor, I feel there is a great need in our community for this foundation.” “Some examples of the things we assist with are: transportation, lodging assistance when out of town stays are needed, nutritional and cosmetic aids and other needs that are not typically covered by insurance.” “Lending A Hand has 2 main fundraisers throughout the year. One in the Spring, our annual 5K and 1 mile walk/run and one in the Fall, which is approaching, and it is our annual raft race and fish fry. All proceeds and donations that are made to Lending A Hand are given directly back to the recipients in the community.”

For more information on how you can support Lending A Hand, call 573-323-0449.

Don’t forget to schedule your mammogram. 28% of breast cancers are found in women under the age of 50. That’s why annual mammograms are essential for women over 40. Cancers found early may not need chemotherapy, and smaller cancers often require smaller surgeries. MoBap makes it easy. Most appointments take less than an hour. And our traveling digital mammography van helps make it convenient. Schedule your screening at 314.996.5170 today.
