Enjoy Eagle Watching

t age 18, I saw a poster of a majestic looking eagle, wings spread, a mountain range behind and a bottom caption ... “All Americans are born free but many sell their liberty cheap. For those who don’t, the Eagle is their symbol.”

Eagle watchers are best served by cruising 14 areas along the Mississippi and Illinois rivers from the Chain of Rocks bridge to a point a little north of Louisiana, Missouri. You’ll want to wear layered clothing accented with binoculars.

Plan your viewing time to accommodate the eagles feeding schedules, usually between the hours of sunrise and 11 AM. Be sure to look for what veteran eagle watchers call “baseballs in the trees” (due to the eagles white head),

17

Bring an extra dose of patience.

Eagles move about in their own time.

Also, new eagle watchers should be aware of the Eagle Protection Act in combination with the Criminal Fines Improvement Act of 1987 prohibiting possession of anything eagle, from a dead body to a mere feather. Instead, just listen for the shrill, high pitched, twittering cry eagles make and be happy with viewing or picture taking. Photo enthusiasts are encouraged to use a tripod, telephoto lens and a film rating of 400 ASA, or the equivalent with a digital camera.

Eagles can also be viewed 363 days a year, 8 to 5 at the World Bird Sanctuary in Valley Park, Missouri as well as the Alton Visitor’s Center in Alton, Illinois.

RESOLVE to Be FIT in 2014!

Turning Small Changes into Good Habits

By Robin Garrison Leach

T

he New Year inspires us all to make big plans for better fitness. Most New Year’s resolutions focus on weight loss and health-related improvements, yet on average only 20% of us are able to make good on our promises to ourselves.

Maybe we try to change too much in our routines too quickly, or maybe we just expect too much. But whatever the reasons, we all know how difficult it is to maintain a fitness strategy beyond the first month or two of our yearly resolutions.

This year, consider making just a few simple changes in your normal routine.

Little changes add up to noticeable improvements in both your attitude about fitness and the way you feel about your body.

Whether you want to lose a few pounds or just develop better health habits, here are some tips that may help. Many you’ve heard before, but if you incorporate only two or three into your routine you will be making a positive change.

1

TAKE THE STAIRS I take the elevator even when it’s just a floor or two, and I’m not alone. Only about 6% of people use the stairs in public buildings. It’s a habit I’m going to break this year. Look for the stairway and make a conscious effort to use it whenever you can.

2

Lose the TV! According to a study published by the Annals of Behavioral Medicine, people who lost at least 10% of their body weight and kept it off for five years or more had fewer TV’s in their homes than overweight people. (Maybe we could just move our TV’s around every day for exercise?)

3

Vacuuming burns 105 calories in a half-hour. Dusting burns 75 and shoveling snow uses 105. Remote control clicking? None.

Put on some music and embarrass your kids by moving and grooving as you do your housework.

If you want to see how many calories you burn according to your weight and what types of activities you do, go to www.healthstatus.com and use their “Calories Burned Calculator”.

JCC

4

Walk 300 Steps a Day I wouldn’t recommend counting aloud; you can get a pedometer. Park far away from store entrances and you’ll also eliminate the stress of losing your car in the lot. It’ll be the one waaayyy out there. Take walks –even short ones –and know you’re doing something good for yourself.

5

Keep Moving at Work If you have a desk job, you don’t have to stay idle. Move your legs back and forth while you’re sitting or tap your toes.

Make it a habit to stretch often; get up and move around when you can. Consider a short walk around the parking lot or building during lunch.

6

Always Stay Cool!

Being a bit chilly can help burn calories. And being too warm leads to naps. Go outside and move around in the cooler air. Stay active regardless of the temperature.

7

Give Yourself a Break If you’re like me, you’re tempted to give up when you falter in your plans to be healthier. That large order of Wendy’s fries, while delicious, won’t help you get back on track.

Know that you’ll stray from your resolutions, and wake up each day ready to try again. Habits take time to develop, and nobody’s perfect.

2014 can be the year you make some small changes toward a better, healthier lifestyle. Make your resolutions ones you can truly keep, and keep working toward your goals.

Begun in 1962 by four St. Louis business executives, Wings of Hope has completed thousands of small and huge missions to stabilize impoverished countries, improve the quality of life for children and families in crisis and help build humanitarian bridges...

A

ny mother can understand the desperation of seeing their child in pain. Some can feel the sorrow of not being able to provide adequate care for him; financial constraints, transportation limitations. Even the emotional paralysis of not knowing where to turn.

Then, a letter, email or phone call reaches Wings of Hope. This non-sectarian, non-racial, non-political organization based in Chesterfield soars into action. Research is done, a plan is developed and a way to help is implemented.

Wings of Hope finds help in the family’s area, gets them there, and provides all the necessary logistics and resources to get them assistance they could never have attained on their own.

A woman needs life-saving surgery for a rare disease—the only hospital that can help is across the country. Wings of Hope arranges for the trip and medical care, provides hotel, food, transportation…and even sends along a Certified Airborne Nurse to accompany and stay with her through the process.

Wings of Hope is an all-volunteer charity with 157 bases in 47 countries (2012) and a task force of over 3,000 people spread around the world; more than 600 at the headquarters alone.

Through worldwide efforts as well as their local Medical Relief and Air Transport (MAT) Program, this Nobel-Peace-Prize-nominated charity works to afford changes in the world that will bring peace and hope to those who need it most. MAT is the only free Air Ambulance in the world that operates 24/7.

Begun in 1962 by four St. Louis business executives, Wings of Hope has completed thousands of small and huge missions to stabilize impoverished countries, improve the quality of life for children and families in crisis and help build humanitarian bridges—through practical, common-sense steps that will eventually give the recipients a way to help themselves.

They do not accept any government money; 90%-100% of the private donations they receive go directly to alleviate immediate suffering wherever it is needed.

Little more than a dozen board members and President Doug Clements keep things humming at Wings: making calls, finding solutions, using creative thought to solve often complex problems through patience and a sense of moral grace.

Projects Wings of Hope are tackling are as varied as the world’s needs dictate: • A tribe in the Amazon needs baby chickens and garden seed to help sustain life to its families.

• Women in India are trained to run small businesses and gain health support to help them become more self-reliant.

• Children throughout the Midwestern USA who suffer major birth defects and have no resources for transportation or medical care are provided for through the Medial Air Transport at Wings of Hope.

So, no matter how complex the problem, no matter what the need is – they do their absolute best to solve the situation.

31

Amazon tribes names their school after Wings of Hope.

Wings of Hope Air Ambulance brings in a patient from a farm community of Missouri to St. Louis.

Doug Clements eloquently describes the reasons for Wings of Hope and its efforts: “Every child, every person, has value. Each of them forms small ripples in the fabric of the world. Those small ripples will combine with others and a huge wave results that may wash away agony and suffering for many others.

Whether that person is in some far away corner of the world or right here in our own backyard. We must respond when we hear their plea for help. This is what Wings of Hope does.”

Contact Wings of Hope to arrange a monetary or supply donation. Also consider a membership, set up a planned giving program or offer your unique skills as a volunteer.

See their website for immediate needs.

Tasty Tidbits from Eateries in and Around Chesterfield Recipe: Shrimp Po Boy Sandwich

Comparing Wine Types

Surf Dogs Grill

• Sauvignon Blanc vs. Fume Blanc: These are the same grape. Sauvignon has citrus and grapefruit characteristics. Usually medium to high in acidity. Fume has the same characteristics except it's aged in oak barrels. This gives the wine a tint of wood.

• Pinot Grigio vs. Pinot Gris: These are the same grape. Many wine people refer to Pinot Grigio as Italian in origin. Pinot Gris origin is every other place except Italy.

• Chablis is a French Chardonnay.

• Red Burgundy is a French Pinot Noir.

• Shiraz vs. Syrah: This is also the same grape. Shiraz is referred to the wine whose origin is Australia. Syrah is from every other country. Australian style of Shiraz is very fruit forward. Syrah, in general, is very earthy and dryer than Shiraz. The way the wine is made brings out the different flavor profiles.

• Syrah vs. Petite Sirah: Two completely different grapes that produce different wines. Petite Sirah is so dark it's almost black.

There is also a slight smell of concord grapes. Petite Sirah is much bigger than Syrah. It is the classic "teeth stainer."

• "Meritage" is a name from California. It refers to an American Bordeaux blend. The roots of this word is California by nature, not French. Remember, it rhymes with heritage.
