EDITOR’S NOTE Let’s get PUMPED UP! This fall we’re getting active at She magazine. We’re working toward our best selves and making the most of life. At the forefront of that exuberant claim is the launch of the She Wants in Her Skinny Jeans Challenge — a 12-week weight loss competition with 12 women of all ages, backgrounds and body types working hard with Tipton Lakes Athletic Club to get healthy. In the picture beside this column, you can see just what a wonderful response we got from women in the community. More than 150 applications came through my hands, and with much thought and discussion, TLAC personal trainer Ian McGriff and I chose our top 12. The contest kicks off tonight at TLAC, however you can meet the contestants and read their bios in the pages to follow. For the next three issues we’ll follow the Skinny Jeans hopefuls during their quest with a story in each issue and a column from McGriff. However with this issue we’re also highlighting a healthy lifestyle program that targets younger women. Girls on the Run is starting its third year. This Foundation for Youth program teaches girls in third through eighth grade to run a 5K, while boosting their confidence and self-esteem. And, of course, it’s important to feed both body and mind, and what better opportunity to boost the latter than through the annual Women’s Professional Development Conference? Find out what’s in store for this year’s conference in the story to follow. After feeding body and mind, the next step is giving back to the community. Next month brings the annual UnCommon Cause Gala. This fundraiser for the arts has been a community staple since the mid-’70s. Typically, organizing efforts are either led or supported by strong women in the area, and this year is no exception. Find out what committee leaders Sarah Cannon, Melanie Remillard and Kim Ledger have in store for this year’s evening of dinner, dancing and bidding. Well, there’s a lot to tackle in this month’s magazine, so best get reading!

CONTESTANTS Read about them now because you may not recognize them later er BY KELSEY DECLUE
The women have different body types, varying heights and ages, and come from a wide array of backgrounds; however for the next 12 weeks, they’re united by one goal: lose body fat and get healthy. Today marks the start of the inaugural She Wants in Her Skinny Jeans Challenge, a weight loss contest in which 12 women will exercise with Ian McGriff, Tipton Lakes Athletic Club head trainer. They will learn proper nutrition and shed inches to get into those skinny jeans that make a woman feel beautiful and confident. Last month, more than 150 readers entered for the

chance to be a part of the challenge. The final 12 represent women from all walks of life — the young mother struggling to devote time to her health, the baby boomer who has lost track of her weight, the 30-something who wants to tone up for a special occasion. Chances are you’ll be able to identify with at least one of these contestants as they journey toward a healthier lifestyle. In each issue, through December, we’ll update readers on the Skinny Jeans Challenge and the women’s progress.
SHE MAGAZINE • SEPTEMBER 2010
Let’s start by meeting the 12 on their way to being fit, fabulous females: AMIE SHOEMAKER Thirty years old and new to Columbus, Shoemaker moved from Mansfield, Ohio, to take a position as the Columbus community representative for the American Cancer Society. She has struggled with her weight since 2004, fluctuating among seven sizes. Shoemaker hopes to tone up, develop a healthy body image and get her skinny jeans out of the box in which they’re still packed.
LAURIE TURNER Turner is ready to start feeling better physically and emotionally. The 37-year-old mother of two suffers from knee and back pain brought on by her weight. Turner said she’s “tried every diet plan, pill and program out there, and nothing has seemed to work,” so she is ready to learn what she needs to do to live a longer life and enjoy her family.
BONNIE DISNEY Next spring, Disney will get the chance to show her dog in the American Kennel Club’s national agility competition in Virginia. She’ll have to run her dog through a 20-obstacle course in a limited amount of time, several times a day during the competition. The show is just one reason Disney entered the Skinny Jeans contest. She hopes to get in better condition, but she also hopes to get back into a pair of jeans she’s had hanging in her closet but been unable to wear for years.
SEPTEMBER 2010 • SHE MAGAZINE
ANNIE ROMINE Mother of three boys, Romine is looking for the flat stomach she’s lost, a trainer to hold her accountable and the motivation to quit late-night snacking and to learn how to eat right. And oh yeah, she’s booked for a tropical cruise that leaves in February, and she wants to be bikini ready.
TERESE MCQUEEN When McQueen and her husband met, she was a healthy size 8 and the proud owner of a pair of jeans that were her husband’s favorite. Several years and pounds later, she recently found those coveted jeans and made a promise to lose weight. She started taking strides to a healthier lifestyle and quit smoking about a year and a half ago.
KIM GOINS Goins hopes to lose about 80 pounds and regain the joy of going out, being active and playing with her grandchildren. She’s tried weight loss plans in the past but been unable to stick to them. She hopes to gain a better understanding of proper nutrition and take full advantage of working out with a personal trainer in a fitness facility — an opportunity she’s never had before.

Skinny Jeans contestants are, from left, Ginny Hardin, Keri Moenssen, Laurie Turner, Amie Shoemaker, Kim Goins, Kimberly Wischmeier, Bonnie Disney, Rhianna Michaels, Annie Romine, April Reeves, Terese McQueen and Jessica Mosier.
RHIANNA MICHAELS Mother of two, Michaels said her biggest reason for applying for the Skinny Jeans Challenge was health. It sounds simple, but she is looking at the long term. With a family history of diabetes, the 22-year-old is scared that if she doesn’t take control of her weight now, she won’t be around to watch her two boys grow into men and have families of their own. Michaels wants to learn how to eat and exercise properly so she can put up a good fight against genetics.
PAGE 6
GINNY HARDIN Recently divorced, Hardin is looking for a new lease on life and the opportunity to shed some of the pounds she has gained over the last 20 years. She wants to feel good, be more active and do the things she loves to do but can’t because of the excess weight. Hardin can’t wait for the challenge and the chance to regain some muchneeded confidence.
SHE MAGAZINE • SEPTEMBER 2010
JESSICA MOSIER Mosier grew up in Columbus, playing basketball and softball and graduating from North. The now 33-year-old is married to her high school sweetheart, and they have four children. Her youngest just started preschool, and for the first time in 12 years, this stay-at-home mom has time to devote to herself. Although loved ones tell Mosier she doesn’t need to lose weight, she wants to learn what weight is right for her body type, set a goal and start this new chapter in her life.

KERI MOENSSEN Moenssen is proud of the body and youthful spirit that enabled her to give birth to and nurture two healthy boys; however she’s not proud of all the lines, bumps and extra pounds that came with them. She wants to give something to herself and make it a priority to shape a body that reflects how she feels on the inside. Moenssen said she’s ready to give up the getthin-quick fads and learn a new and exciting way to exercise.
APRIL REEVES On her Skinny Jeans application, Reeves gave several lighthearted reasons why she wants to lose weight. Here are a few: “I’d like to bend down to tie my shoes without fainting from lack of oxygen.” “One chin is enough, thank you.” “I’m not flapping my wings to fly. I’m waving to greet you.” “No, I’m not pregnant.” “When a sloth and I have too much in common, something needs to change.” Reeves is able to joke about her body, but she’s also ready to make some serious changes.
KIMBERLY WISCHMEIER “I want to have more energy to do activities with my family. I want to climb a flight of stairs without getting winded and having knee pain. I want to be healthy, control my blood pressure, have a better self-image, feel beautiful inside and out, and be a positive role model for others,” Wischmeier wrote on her contest application. About five years ago, she began a successful, 80-pound weight loss with diet and exercise, but the aftermath of the June 2008 flood derailed her progress. She’s ready to get back on track.

the arts A BID FOR
This year’s UnCommon Cause will have everyone on their feet BY KELSEY DECLUE
Dig out that polyester bell-bottom suit and minidress with platform heels because on Oct. 23, Boogie Nights is coming your way. It’s disco, baby, and when one thinks of disco, flashing lights, bright colors, groovy tunes and most of all, fun come to mind. And that’s exactly what the organizers of this year’s UnCommon Cause hope the annual fundraising event entails. “It’s the 35th anniversary (of UnCommon Cause) so we thought the theme perfect,” said Kim Ledger, one of the three women who lead the organizational committee.

“The music is so fun, and it appeals to so many, whether you lived it during its heyday or are enjoying its comeback now.” Ledger, Sarah Cannon and Melanie Remillard are leading the committee charged with organizing the 2010 UnCommon Cause, the largest annual fundraiser for arts in the Bartholomew County community, benefiting the Columbus Area Arts Council and United Arts Fund. A cocktail hour begins at 5:30 p.m., and dinner, provided by Gethin Thomas Catering, begins at 7:30 p.m., all at the Cummins hangar at Columbus Municipal Airport.

Attendees will dine on a first course of endive with chicken, shrimp, apple and radish. For the main course, Thomas and his crew will prepare a grilled New York strip with olive oil, crushed potato and a confit of fennel and tomato. For dessert diners get a choice of cheesecake with local berries or sable Breton with chocolate ganache and stewed plums. Alan Trisler will serve as the evening’s master of ceremonies and disc jockey. Live music will be provided by The Flying Toasters. A new feature at this year’s event is a Wine Pull. Organizers are gathering donated bottles, ranging in value, and will place them backward in a rack so their labels are concealed. Attendees will pay a yet-undetermined amount to have a “pull” from the rack.

“They may get a really nice, expensive bottle of wine or they may get the $3 kind,” Cannon said. “It’ll be fun. And, of course, we’re looking for bottle donations or money to use to purchase wine.” As always, a silent auction will run throughout the evening. Another staple of UnCommon Cause is the annual live auction that accompanies the evening of dinner and dancing. However this year’s will be a bit different. “We decided we wanted to keep it short to allow for all the other activities planned for the evening,” Cannon said. “We’ll have 10 items to auction off, so that will also create competition among bidders and really make it fun.” In order to establish the element of surprise, the three women are keeping the details of those auction items close to their polyester vests. The auction part of the evening will also highlight an extra special giving opportunity for attendees — the Fund a Need project. It will focus on the impact of arts on at-risk youths. “It is going to be a really powerful program,” Cannon said. “It is so important that the arts play a part in these kids’ lives. So many of them don’t get the opportunity to express themselves.” The Mayor’s Art Awards will also be presented. The conclusion of the auction leads to a celebration with more music and dancing, all under the ’70s theme. A dance group will perform and draw people from the crowd to boogie down. As always the evening is black tie optional, however disco-themed dress is also encouraged. Organizers hope to draw a large crowd of varying ages. “We really want this to be a lot of fun for people,” Remillard said. “This is a celebration of the arts — such an important part of our community.” Ledger, Cannon and Remillard aren’t just talking the fun talk; they’re prepared to walk the walk, or rather dance. The three have been taking dance lessons and are planning a presentation for the evening.

There’s plenty to gain at this year’s Women’s Professional Development Conference BY JENNIFER WILLHITE
When packing for your professional journey, never forget the essentials: experience, motivation, leadership … and chocolate. The theme of the 2010 Women’s Professional Development Conference — “Nothing Ventured, Nothing Gained” — is all about making the most of one’s personal and professional journeys in life. On Sept. 28 at the Holiday Inn Conference Center, the event’s scheduled speakers are sure to inspire and energize attendees to journey forward and nurture their ambitions. From developing balance and positivity in one’s per-
PAGE 14
sonal and professional life, to the virtues of setting ambitious goals, this year’s conference has a little something for everyone. Kami Latham, marketing and events director for the Columbus Area Chamber of Commerce, said one of the most beneficial aspects of an event like “Nothing Ventured, Nothing Gained” is the camaraderie one feels with not only the speakers, but those in attendance. “While you always learn something from the speakers, it’s always nice to gather with other women and discuss issues that are unique to women in the workplace,” Latham said.

“Whether you sit next to someone you know, or if you have just met, there is a lot to be shared.” Open to the public, the conference will have something to offer women of all ages who may be at various stages in their lives and careers. “Whether you’re just starting out in your career or you’re thinking about retirement, everyone will be able to take away something,” Latham said. Registration begins at 9 a.m., where attendees will receive their name tags and a special gift.
WRITTEN RECORD The path of the journey is as important as the destination itself. Recording experiences along the way offers an opportunity for reflection and preparation for future situations. In the spirit of personal and professional growth, journals will be given out at registration, and each will contain a copy of the day’s itinerary. This year’s keynote speaker is life coach Valorie Burton, author of “How Did I Get So Busy?” and “Listen to Your Life.” Burton will of-

fer guidance about how to face challenges with calm, positive resiliency. She will also recommend tools for reducing stress and nurturing emotional, spiritual and physical balance. Each annual conference offers a life story session, where an individual shares her journey, experiences and lessons learned. Hoosier Jean Deeds will speak about what inspired her to reach beyond her comfort zone, leave her job as a public relations director and embrace a journey to conquer the Appalachian Trail. “I wasn’t drawn to the experience of backpacking or camping, but rather to the challenge of trying to hike all the way from Georgia to Maine,” Deeds said. “I had always been stimulated by my career, but this was a chance to take on a totally different kind of challenge, and it felt like this was meant to be part of my life.”
“We just try to make it fun, but we always want them to walk away with something. Our goal is to leave a lasting impression and hopefully make some positive changes.” KAMI LATHAM, COLUMBUS AREA CHAMBER OF COMMERCE At 51 years of age, Deeds traveled alone and completed the 2,155-mile journey. “I have discovered the value in facing adversity,” she said. “And I think that’s when we learn the most important things about ourselves and discover the strength we have that will carry us through difficult times.”
TIME FOR TREATS Kelly Krieg-Sigman is an atypical librarian who will offer two presentations during the conference. Relating her professional experiences with humor and style, she is scheduled to speak on teamwork and motivation — during which time chocolate will be served. She says one of the essential aspects of her speech involves the “notion of ‘psychological oxygen’” and its role in motivating employees and creating an atmosphere in which they can thrive.

“Too frequently, professionals in general and female professionals in particular feel like they are alone in the universe when it comes to issues related to personnel management,” Krieg-Sigman said. “Events like this are enormously valuable in that they provide opportunities to not only meet other professionals and exchange ideas and information, but also to validate experiences.” Exhibits will offer conference attendees an opportunity to browse and shop during breaks. “We have local businesses that come
in and have vendor tables,” Latham said. “They range anywhere from banks to car dealers to retailers.” Some of the vendors scheduled to attend this year’s conference include Renner Motors, Gramz Bakery and Columbus Regional Hospital. Goody bags and door prizes will be given at the 3 p.m. conclusion of the conference. “We just try to make it fun, but we always want them to walk away with something,” Latham said. “Our goal is to leave a lasting impression and hopefully make some positive changes.”
Registration is $89. Those interested in attending may register online at www.columbusareachamber.com/event. For further information, contact the Chamber of Commerce at 379-4457.

Tryto keep up Girls on the Run program is off to a fast start STORY AND PHOTO BY KELSEY DECLUE
They gain confidence, meet new friends and find an adult female role model to look up to. They get active, get healthy and run a 5K — all in 12 weeks. They are Girls on the Run. Girls on the Run is a national outreach organization that is fairly new to Columbus. It was established here in 2008 thanks to Amy Macy, former Athlete’s Foot owner. Girls on the Run reaches out to pre-adolescent girls and teaches them the importance of self-confidence and a healthy lifestyle by preparing them for a 5K race. This year marks the first time Foundation for Youth is solely conducting the program,

divided into two sessions, with the first starting Tuesday and running through Dec. 11. “We’re so excited about this program,” said Jennifer Shaver, FFY public services director and Girls on the Run coach. “I think it has the potential to do really well and be a huge success in the area.” However it’s not just about gathering to run. It’s about learning life skills. Participants are broken into groups of eight to 15 for Grades 3 through 5 and 6 through 8. They meet with their coaches twice weekly for hour-and-15-minute class sessions. “We don’t get them together and make them run like a mile or two straight,” said

Even the coaches are affected. It’s very powerful.” Katie Ruddell, a Columbus resident and IUPUC student, decided to coach this year after beginning a running regimen herself.

“It’s such a great program that could really reach out to a lot of young women in the community,” she said. “Self-esteem is a big issue with young girls, and this is such a big boost for that.” At the end of the 12 weeks, the girls have trained enough to be able to complete a 5K. They will participate in the Last Chance 5K on Dec. 11. “We make it a really big deal. The families show up, and all the girls have a race buddy that stays with them the whole way,” Shaver said. “Everyone is cheering them on, and it’s so much fun.” Participant numbers are not limited, and registration is still available.

Fall in love all over again with your partner BY CRYSTAL HENRY
If your love life has hit some bumps in the road, or maybe it’s just lost that new car smell, it’s time to rev things up a bit and break out of the same old dinner and a movie routine. This fall, change should be the driving force in your quest to spice up your love life. “Everyone goes to dinner. Everyone goes to the movies,” said John Goll, a marriage and family therapist. He said people have different definitions of “spicing things up,” but generally what they are looking for is to bring some of the same excitement back into their relationship that they had in the beginning. The person you are on a first date is typically a watered-down, polished-up version of who you are on the 21st date. Goll said this is called “dating behavior,” and it is important because it lets you gradually get to know the other person while keeping things exciting and interesting. And it is an important step in the relationship because it allows you to slowly reveal yourself to your partner. The intrigue and mystery of this relationship phase are what makes it so exciting. Leia Shanyfelt, an engineer and current stayat-home mom, said although she and her husband have been together for more than 14 years, CONTINUED ON PAGE 27 SEPTEMBER 2010 • SHE MAGAZINE

one of their favorite ways to reconnect is to relive their first date. She said renting the same movie they went to see and going to the same or similar restaurant they first went to is a nice change from a generic dinner and a movie date. She said it stirs fond memories and helps remind them why they fell in love in the first place. The only difference is that he is less nervous about the end-of-the-date kiss. Goll said the key to rekindling a romance is to get away from the day-to-day routine and try something new. “The shared adventure of learning new things about each other is what keeps the spark alive,” he said.
A QUIET SOMETHING But Goll said big and expensive gestures are not the best approach. Small and intimate outings often provide a more conducive setting for romance. Explore local neighborhood events or festivals nearby, or take a trip to the zoo or the park.
“The shared adventure of learning new things about each other is what keeps the spark alive.”
There’s No Place Like Home.
JOHN GOLL, MARRIAGE AND FAMILY THERAPIST
Chessa Jones, a speech and language pathologist, said she and her boyfriend make an evening of preparing sushi. They enjoy shopping for the ingredients, preparing the rolls and then sitting down for a meal together. She said cooking together provides an intimate and sensual setting. For a fall twist, look for recipes that use fall fruits and vegetables. Then head to a local farmers market, orchard or pick-your-own produce farm for the ingredients. Goll said cooking is a great activity that promotes working together and positive interaction. Music can help set the mood for the evening as well. Shanyfelt said she and her husband also enjoy taking a dance class or going to a local open mic night. “Dan and I are stoked for next month’s ukulele night at one of our favorite local eateries,” she said.

– LYANNA SMITH, INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY SPECIALIST
SHE MAGAZINE • SEPTEMBER 2010
Choosing activities with a lighthearted atmosphere can be a therapeutic release from day-to-day stresses, and it opens the door to new experiences.
MASSAGE FOR TWO Another stress relieving date idea is a couple’s massage. A couple’s massage is a good way to relax and spend time together, and can be a good way to introduce massage for the first time. Some men are nervous or shy about the idea of a massage, so having their wife or girlfriend there can help calm their nerves. However, it is important that both partners be on the same page about the etiquette of their session. If one person wants a quiet massage, and the other wants to chat, it may be best to get separate massages and then come together for a meal or dessert afterward to reconnect and talk. For the more adventurous couple, an outdoor excursion may be just the thing to rejuvenate the relationship. Some couples run or walk a marathon together. The common goal of completing the marathon is a great bonding opportunity, and the training requires the couple to carve out quality time as well. Goll said a more physically active date is a great way for the couple to connect on a more relaxed and genuine level than a traditional dinner and a movie because it creates an opportunity for communication and chemistry. Graduate student Brittany Needham and her husband, Michael, are on a budget, but they still like to keep things lively. She said they go for a hike and pack a picnic to enjoy at the end of the trail or the top of the mountain. When they have to stay close to home, they like to have a fondue night or rent a projector and watch a movie on a big sheet in the backyard. For those looking to take date night on the road, LyAnna Smith, an information technology specialist, suggests looking for last-minute flight deals to “non-destination” cities. “Every city has something unique and fun,” she said. “It is really fun to explore new cities and discover really neat places that most people never get to see.” Discovering things together and breaking out of the usual routine will revive that feeling of mystery and excitement a couple first had for each other. So as the leaves change this autumn, so should your date night. Branch out from the ordinary and remember what it’s like to fall in love.

NEW YORK — The hottest bags for fall are fit for a lady. Replacing the large, heavily embellished bags of recent history are vintage-inspired ladylike models topped off with a handle or two. The style offers a feminine contrast to fall’s menswear-inspired details like strong-shouldered jackets and complement the longerlength ’50s style skirts being turned out in pinstripes and plaids. “The new direction for handbags this season is a return to a structured, ladylike handbag,” says Ken Downing, senior vice president and fashion director of Neiman Marcus. “With the sharp tailoring and appreciation for men’s tailored details, the structured bag is the go-to bag.” Classic silhouette satchels and frame bags had their place on the runway, too.
These bags all look right with of-the-moment fashion, but also go well with just about everything in your closet short of formal eveningwear, says Julia Kalachnikoff, accessories director for Lucky magazine. All retro in look, they are versatile enough for jeans but go through cocktails, she says. Some of the latest options from designers such as Marc Jacobs, Louis Vuitton and Prada recall the bags carried by gloved hands in the middle of the last century. Today’s versions, though, are anything but stuff y, and there’s plenty of room for all your stuff. The bags are larger than those of the “Mad Men” era and are modernized with cell phone pockets, sleek hardware and mixed materials, Kalachnikoff says. Many of the satchels feature the now-ubiquitous crossbody strap. “It’s a way of modernizing a shape that was big in the ’50s and ’60s,” she explains.

They carry the overall tone of polish, crafted in leather or texture-rich ostrich, pony and deer skin, crocodile, alligator and snakeskin. Trims in velvet and lace add a touch of the romantic and some are done up in fur or have a chain or lock detail. There’s also a lighter palette. “Camel is really the big hit color of the season,” Kalachnikoff says, adding that there are also soft yellows, blues and greens. “There are lots and lots of neutrals. Everything is just a little bit muted.” Neiman’s is featuring the trend in all shades of green, especially olive, a reflection of the latest infatuation with the military look. The greens work well with popular apparel colors, including browns and camels as well as bright jewel tones like saffron and paprika. Traditional and a little more conservative, the bags are seen as in keeping with today’s minimal times and minimal clothing looks.

There are always other bag shapes to buy, just in case you’re looking for something different: • Strips of fringy leather have been around since the Wild West, but they’re getting the luxury treatment on handbags. Jimmy Choo, Prada and Fendi are offering a fringe bag or two for fall. Fringe is emerging now and will likely grow into a full-blown trend by springtime, adds Downing. “It’s a nod to the peasant-inspired looks of Yves Saint Laurent made famous in the ’70s with flounced skirts and off-theshoulder tops.” • A chic, envelope-style clutch tucked under your arm exudes el-
egance, but it’s largely been a nighttime look — until recently. “Instead of being in evening fabrics, like sequins and satin, there’s a lot of rich leather and the shapes are a little bit bigger and suitable for day,” says Kalachnikoff. Downing agrees that carrying no-strap clutches during the day is catching on. The bag boasts “a very ladylike idea,” he observes. But, he allows, they’re not always practical. Leave a larger tote in the car and pull out the clutch when you’re ready to make an entrance, Downing recommends, adding: “There’s never not a reason for a clutch.”

pampering
YOU CAN NEVER HAVE TOO MUCH
A NOTE FROM THE EDITOR …
Last year around this time hundreds of women from all over the community gathered to shop with local vendors, enjoy treats and beverages, dance and have fun, and, of course, get a little pampering. The first She Goes Out: Pamper Party was a huge success, so how could we not do it again? I’m proud to announce the next installment in She Goes Out fun with this year’s Pamper Party scheduled for 6 to 9 p.m. Sept. 30. I know, that’s only a couple of weeks away!
Join us, once again, at the former Goody’s location in Fair Oaks Mall for an evening of more fun, more dancing, more treats and more pampering. Columbus-area restaurants will provide samples of food and drinks, local retailers will bring select items for you to see and pamper professionals will be there to soothe your end-of-summer blues. Dancin’ DJs will get us on our feet with inspiring dance routines and plenty of participatory opportunities. Just like last year, this evening of fun and girl power is free to the public, so gather your friends, your mom, your sister and your daughter and plan on stopping by the She Goes Out: Pamper Party. For more information, contact Editor Kelsey DeClue at 379-5691.

There must be 20 ways to serve tomatoes —
a bumper crop of fresh ideas BY KATHY STEPHENSON, SALT LAKE TRIBUNE
S
imple is best when it comes to enjoying a fresh-picked garden tomato. Who can resist one of these ripe beauties when it’s seasoned with salt and pepper or sliced in a sandwich with bacon and lettuce? When you have a bumper crop of these orbs and you need to go beyond the usual salsas, salads and sandwiches, here are 20 ways to enjoy this fresh favorite:

STUFF —
Cut the top 1/3 of the tomato off and hollow out the bottom, being careful not to puncture the shell. Fill with meat, rice or even seasoned breadcrumbs. Replace tops and bake.
GRILL — Cut tomato in half and remove
water and seeds. Brush with oil, season and grill cut side down 3 or 4 minutes. Or place whole cherry tomatoes on a skewer, brush with oil and grill.
MAKE A VINAIGRETTE — Puree two tomatoes until smooth. Strain. To the juice, add garlic, lemon juice and ¼ cup olive oil, blending until smooth.

MAKE SOUP — Gazpacho is the official cold soup of summer. Combine chopped tomatoes, green onions, bell pepper, garlic and extra-virgin olive oil. Stir in a bit of tomato juice to thin. Keep it chunky, or puree half the mixture. Garnish with fresh breadcrumbs.

BLEND IT IN A COCKTAIL — Forget bottled tomato juice cocktails. Homemade Bloody Marys can be made with garden tomatoes and pepper-infused vodka.
11 13
PICKLE —
Pickled green tomatoes are a unique side for grilled foods or on sandwiches. Just soak in a salt-vinegar-garlic brine for at least a week in the refrigerator.
FRY — It’s the classic way to eat green to-
matoes. Just cut into slices, dredge in cornmeal and fry in oil.

STIR INTO GRITS —
Hot tomato grits are good for breakfast or as a side dish. Just make grits according to package directions, then stir in chopped tomatoes and green chiles. Garnish with bacon.

It’s time to be fabulous BY IAN MCGRIFF
In my office there are lots of quotes and sayings. They keep me focused, inspired and hungry to keep working toward that next level, both personally and professionally. I am a firm believer that you always need those positive and motivating elements in your life. A picture, a story, a quote, a movie score — something that makes you want to get up and move, to take action and create something great. When you are inspired, you are capable of great things, mostly because you believe. When belief meets action, the possibilities are incredible. I dare say that nothing is impossible when an inspired person meets opportunity. One of my favorite quotes is by Marianne Williams, which states: “Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be?” Beautiful, isn’t it? Often we are products of our own minds. We disbelieve rather than believe, but for what reason? If we limit ourselves, what will we do when confronted with challenges from others? We are powerful creatures, capable of greatness, beauty and change. We have within us the strength, the courage and the opportunity to create the world as we desire. We simply have to be brave enough to reach for the strength of our light, rather than the doubt of our dark. I am very lucky to do what I do. As a personal trainer who specializes in weight loss and conditioning, I have the opportunity each day to help others achieve more than they ever thought possible and change their bodies forever. How great is that? I mean really, how great is it to be able to help someone? When I have been able to work with people and see them achieve success, the

look on their faces and the expression in their voices are more rewarding than anything else. We have created the She Wants in Her Skinny Jeans Challenge (which officially started today) to help others change their bodies and their minds forever. It’s even better than it sounds. Twelve contestants will compete and learn what it takes to create long-lasting results despite hectic schedules, work loads, family obligations and everyday life. This won’t be “The Biggest Loser”; the contestants won’t be at a ranch working out for six to eight hours a day. They will have jobs, families, responsibilities and challenges from daily life. Actress and host Allison Sweeney won’t offer anyone immunity, because in life no one is untouched by challenges of the day-to-day. It’s going to be real — how to lose weight, do it for good and fit into those skinny jeans. Through this contest we will have the opportunity to inspire and motivate, to create the belief in these 12 contestants that their success is unlimited, and to guide them to shine their light and perhaps touch and motivate you. I truly hope that we have a chance to help you, educate you, guide you and motivate you to fit into your skinny jeans. Join us on our journey throughout the next three months, follow along and try things yourself. It’s possible for anyone and everyone to achieve great success. Who are you to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented and fabulous? Who are you not to be?
Ian McGriff is a personal trainer at Tipton Lakes Athletic Club.

Finding perspective in the LONG RUN BY RYAN BRAND I was never a runner. I spent time years ago training for the local triathlon and put in a few miles, but it was a short-lived endeavor. My wife, Gretchen, decided earlier this year that she might take it up, and on a whim, I dug up my old running shoes and went out for a jog. I arrived back home sore and defeated. Two days later I tried again — less sore and less defeated, and so I progressed. Each time out I felt better and I went farther. It wasn’t long until I was beginning to plan my weeks around the time I wanted to run.

Sometimes this would be in the mornings before work. Other times I would see how far I could go during my lunch hour. Two days a week quickly became five, and I was strangely transformed into a runner. As my running became more automatic, I found myself forgetting about the effort and focusing on the feeling. It was a strange and wonderful place. The first thing I noticed was that I felt taller as I ran. I know this sounds strange, especially for anyone who knows me. I am not tall by any standard, but my 5-foot-7-inch frame seemed to stretch as I placed one foot in front

of the other. My perspective changed, and my stride lengthened. The rhythmic beating of my heart and the sound of my breathing cleared my mind, and the veil of life’s distractions lifted. It was meditative. Life looked, smelled and felt different at a 7-minute-mile pace. Distances became more intimate, traveling one step at a time, and I began saying things like, “It’s only 3.7 miles from here to the house.” I began drawing parallels between my runs and my life. How far will I go today to accomplish my goals? How quickly can I cover that distance? The place I started from matters little; it is where I’m going that pushes me both on the road and in life. I have traveled more than 500 miles by foot over the last five months. I have experienced life from a different perspective for every one of those miles. I have reflected on my past and dreamt of my future with each step. On the weekends I ask my daughters how far I should go. Three, 5, 10 miles? I always try to run their suggestions, even when they are impossible. They are children. They know no limits. Why should I? Distances in life, love and on the road become closer one step at a time.

LANDSCAPE LOGIC It has been an extremely hot and dry summer. I have seen quite a bit of stress on many landscape plants, including trees and shrubs. Many forget that trees and shrubs can suffer from drought even though they may have a deeper root system than most plants. To help the trees recover from the hot and dry summer and protect them for next year, be sure the soil has adequate moisture going into the winter months. If mother nature doesn’t
provide enough moisture through rainfall, you will need to supplement with irrigation. A good rule of thumb is plants need about one inch of moisture per week. Trees with adequate soil moisture going into the winter will have a much healthier root system next spring and summer. — Extension educator Mike Ferree

RECOMMENDED READING “The Wives of Henry Oades: A Novel,” by Johanna Moran. 353 pages. $15. In 1890, Henry Oades accepts an accountancy post in New Zealand. His wife, Margaret, and their children follow him to exotic Wellington, but a single night of tragedy shatters the family when the native Maori stage an uprising, kidnapping Margaret and her children. For months, Henry scours the surrounding wilderness, until all hope is lost and his wife and children are presumed dead. Grief-stricken, he books passage to California. There he marries Nancy Foreland, a young widow with a new baby, and it seems they’ve both found hap-
piness in the midst of their mourning — until Henry’s first wife and children show up, alive and having finally escaped captivity. Narrated primarily by the two wives, and based on a real-life legal case, “The Wives of Henry Oades” is the riveting story of what happens when Henry, Margaret and Nancy face persecution for bigamy. Exploring the intricacies of marriage, the construction of family, the changing world of the late 1800s and the strength of two remarkable women, Johanna Moran turns this unusual family’s story into an unforgettable page-turning drama. —Viewpoint Books
