editor’s note

Have you begun thinking about Mother’s Day yet? If not, get on it!

Mom deserves something big this year. Something out of the ordinary. Something that could change her life. Seems drastic and dramatic, I know, but it’s not impossible. Here’s why.

Not that long ago, we were following 12 women of all ages, body types and backgrounds in a quest to gain a healthier lifestyle through “She Wants in her Skinny Jeans.” I think I can speak on behalf of Tipton Lakes Athletic Club and the other sponsors to say it brought us so much joy to see the women progress through the program and get to know them a little bit.

I heard good feedback from some of you readers as well, so I thought, we can’t help but do it again. Based on some readership ideas and a few brainstorming sessions, we decided sooner rather than later. I’m proud to announce, in conjunction with TLAC, the start of our next healthy lifestyle promotion: “She is a Healthy Mom.” Please read more about this exciting program and find your chance to enter in this issue. It’s going to be way different than “Skinny Jeans” but equally as exciting. Check it out!

I love everything in this issue — more great profiles, fun feature stories and a special advertising section with gift ideas for Mother’s Day. We check in with IUPUC assistant professor Erica Berte, a native of Brazil, who came to Columbus about four years ago, dealing with language and culture barriers. Find out how she’s doing today and about her rise in the world of academia.

In a fun feature, we decided to give the male species another voice in the magazine, and writer Crystal Henry took to the streets to find out what a man wants … for a date night, that is.

Also as spring continues, a jacket is a must for any wardrobe. Check out some cute options in this year’s styles.

Happy Easter! Happy spring! Now, get reading!

SHE: Describe yourself in one word and then explain why that word fits you most.

MORRIS: Hopeful, because there are many things in my life that I will be able to accomplish, I just don’t know how I am going to get there yet. I want to have a great life, and I am hopeful that some day that will come along, but for now I am just taking it day-by-day.

SHE: What are your favorite hobbies and activities?

MORRIS: My favorite hobby is definitely reading. As long as I have a good book, I can spend hours reading. I have played softball for 11 years, and it has been my life ever since I was 6. I have also been in 4-H for 10 years, so I am a very active member in my group, and we do all kinds of community work.

Something that isn’t so common that I do is bowling. I have been bowling since I was 3 years old. It has

been a family sport for as long as I can remember. I also love spending time with my family and friends. I love the nights a friend has a cookout, and all we do is sit around the fire and talk about everything.

Those are memories that I will never forget.

SHE: Who is your role model and why?

MORRIS: Mrs. Green, my journalism teacher at my high school.

She is my role model because she has such great enthusiasm for her job and just her life in general. Though I might not want to pursue a career in journalism or in teaching, I do want to have the attitude that she has when she comes to work.

We spend so much time together working on our yearbook, and I see how happy she is to be doing something she loves, and that is how I want my life to be.

She also leads a great life and has

made many accomplishments in her life, and someday I hope to have made as many as she has.

SHE: If there was one thing you could change about high school life, what would it be and why?

MORRIS: I would have tried to be more outgoing. I love my friends and my life, but I wasn’t the girl that went to many parties and I wasn’t the girl that went out every weekend. I don’t regret all of it because I spent more time on my school work, and that is never a bad thing; I just definitely would have wanted to be more outgoing and participate in more school activities.

SHE: In 10 years you hope to be …?

MORRIS: Happily married with a college degree that will help me get a great job. I also hope to have a great husband and a child. I want to have a successful life, and in 10 years I hope to have a great start on that life.

Nothin

but blue skies on Weather or not, TV meteorologist Lauren Jones is on track for career success

P a g e SHE m a g a z i n e • a p r i l 2 0 1 1

her horizon

By Shannon Palmer Columbus North graduate Lauren Jones is no stranger to the ups and downs of Indiana weather.

As a meteorologist for Fox 59 in Indianapolis, she can be found predicting storms or sunshine on the weekday news Wednesday through Sunday, working hard to make sure viewers are safe and well-informed.

Jones says she has been fascinated with the weather since she was young. Thunderstorms scared her, and she says there were times when she hid in the bathtub with not only her stuffed animals but real ones as well until they passed.

“Lauren was always terrified of storms,” says her father, Rob Jones, of Columbus. “So much so that she would need to be in the same room with me almost clinging to me at times.

“So in that respect I was somewhat surprised in the profession she chose, but as my wife pointed out, sometimes you have to keep your enemies closer, so meteorology seems to be a natural fit for Lauren.

She can see the storms coming.”

As she got older, she was drawn to the 24-hour ra-

april 2011 • she magazine

dar, fearful of incoming storms. When it was time to consider a career path, Jones said it was a “nobrainer” to major in meteorology. She wanted to get a better grasp on why storms did what they did.

“I’m blessed that I can keep people safe now because I know how scary the weather can be,” she said.

While in college at IUPUC and in online courses from Mississippi State University, she majored in broadcasting and meteorology. She landed her first gig in Evansville for WTVW and then moved on to WLKY, a CBS affiliate station in Louisville, Ky. Eventually, she made her way back to Indiana and has been with Fox for two years.

Changing conditions Being in the television field, especially the weather department, means accepting the fact that the work schedule is anything but predictable. There are times when Jones has to report early or late to keep viewers safe and up-to-date on approaching storms or warnings.

page

“Every day is something new. That’s why I love my job. If the weather is bad, I will come in and stay until the storm passes. When I’m not actually live on television doing the weather, I am busy making graphics, voicing radio forecasts or researching environmental stories,” Jones said. “It’s a fun, fastpaced, exciting job.”

Brian Wilkes, co-anchor and Fox’s chief meteorologist, praises her ability to be on air as needed and says she fits in well with the Fox 59 team.

“Lauren is very enthusiastic and dependable, often switching her schedule from early morning to late evening to help out during sick days and vacation time. That’s tough, especially if you’re on live TV,” Wilkes said.

“As a forecaster she has made great strides very quickly and has already made an amazing career for herself. We are so happy to have her here — especially being a hometown girl.”

From left: Lauren’s brother, Michael; mother, Jean; and boyfriend, Jude Redfield.

Close to home Jones says she is lucky to have a close-knit family and is grateful they are only a short drive away.

She’s a fan of the Colts and the Cincinnati Reds and attributes her sports enthusiasm to her father, who was her basketball coach growing up.

In high school, she also played volleyball and was a cheerleader.

Although she was shy as a child, she did have her time in the spotlight. Her mother, Jeanie Jones, of Indianapolis says, “Lauren has always been an entertainer. Around age 10, Lauren, along with some kids from the neighborhood, put together a weekly newsletter. They would interview the neighbor kids and parents. If they weren’t doing that, they were putting on plays, dance videos, etc.”

Yet the sun and rain called to her.

“The love for weather really pushed me into broadcasting. Now that I’ve been in the business for a few years, my nerves have calmed down drastically. However, when I first started I was very nervous,” Jones says.

She explains that while doing a broadcast, usually only a few people are involved, including the anchor, camera operator and a prompter operator, all working together to deliver a smooth transition from studio to homes across the viewing area. Being comfortable with her co-workers feels like reporting the weather to a roomful of friends, she says, and keeps her from being anxious.

april 2011 • she magazine

Anchors these days not only report live to their audiences, they also update Facebook and Twitter pages, and respond to e-mails sent from viewers. Jones has a large following on both sites and can be found tweeting to fans, giving weather updates, answering questions and posting pictures to give them an insight into her world.

She comes across as warm, considerate and approachable. With genuine enthusiasm for what she does, the sky is the limit for this young woman.

Looking to the future, she says, “My goal has always been to be happy. Life is too short not to be.

Five years from now I hope to be surrounded by people I love, doing the weather for a great station, in a community that’s welcoming. So far, so good!”

“Every day is something new.

That’s why I love my job.”

Introducing...

A note from the editor …

A few months ago, after the end of our healthy lifestyle promotion, readers approached me about another healthy lifestyle opportunity.

We had always intended to run another program, especially because of the outpouring of applications we received for “She Wants in Her Skinny Jeans.” However the birth of this next program, came from one specific suggestion (you know who you are).

Since it’s close to Mother’s Day, many are wondering how to show mom the proper appreciation for her years of support and service. How about entering her and yourself in “She is a Healthy Mom”?

She magazine in partnership with Tipton Lakes Athletic Club is excited to announce a special mother-daughter and mother-anddaughter-in-law weight loss and healthy lifestyle program.

Have you wanted to do something special with your mother or daughter? Do you both want to lose a few pounds and learn how to fuel your bodies and minds? Furthermore, do you want the chance to win a spa makeover for both of you?

She is a Healthy Mom is an eight-week team program designed for couples (in this case a mother and her daughter or daughterin-law), consisting of workouts with a personal trainer, nutrition and life coaching and team challenges.

For two weeks prior to each challenge, participants will focus on specific types of exercises, such as strength or cardio, to help them perform to their maximum ability.

The final challenge will encompass everything learned during the eight-week program. Points will be accumulated for each challenge, and point totals, combined with total body fat percentage lost, will determine the winning team.

Contest entries are available today, and the forms are due by April 29. Please write and tell us about your relationship and why the two of you want to team up. A photo of your team is also required. We’ll pick four teams to compete in the program, based on their essay and photo submissions.

Entry forms are available only in this issue of the magazine and can be submitted via mail or in person to The Republic at 333 Second St. in care of She magazine.

International

pe r sp ec t i v e Erica Berte brings Brazilian cultural outlook to IUPUC business courses

By Jennifer Willhite Photos by Alton Strupp

Erica Berte is devoted to teaching and academia. She embraces her international roots and values the perspective her experiences have fostered.

The assistant professor of management at IUPUC was raised on the Brazilian island of Santa Catarina.

Though always slated for a successful career in business education, her road to teaching in America has been somewhat bumpy. Regardless of cultural adjustments and long-distance relationships, Berte loves her career and role at IUPUC. “I really like the dynamic of the university,” Berte said.

“When I get into the classroom, I feel like this is my theater and I am on stage.”

Berte and her four sisters were close growing up and would always go out together. Her father worked as a civil engineer, so the family moved frequently. But most of her childhood was spent on the island, an area roughly the size of Indianapolis.

When Berte was 6, her mother returned to school to earn advanced degrees in social work and education.

Early on, Berte developed a lifelong love for learning.

april 2011 • she magazine

“I was always determined in terms of what I want and where I need to go,” she said. “Very independent.”

In 1992, she graduated with her first bachelor’s degree in business and went to work as an auditor for the accounting firm Ernst & Young. Then in 1995, she graduated with a second bachelor’s in accounting. While working toward her advanced degrees in business administration, she taught at Univali University in Florianopolis, the capital city of Santa Catarina.

A chance meeting in a bookstore in Sao Paulo initiated a journey that would eventually bring Berte to the United States. A classmate, Claudio Berte, whom she had known casually while at the university in Florianopolis, stopped by her side and asked a single question: “Do you remember me?”

The couple started dating, but three months later his work with Cummins took him to Lake Mills, Iowa. She stayed in Brazil to pursue her doctorate.

“I was writing my dissertation, and it was my vacation time, and I decided to visit him,” she said. “And that was it. We decided to marry. I finished my Ph.D., and in nine months we were married.”

During the first part of their marriage, Berte divided her time, alternately spending two months in Brazil and two months at their home in Iowa.

Coming to America Accustomed to the anonymity of urban life in Sao Paulo, Berte was delighted with the closeness of the small Iowa town. Home to approximately 2,000 people, Lake Mills offered her the opportunity to immerse herself in American culture and better hone her English skills in an intimate setting.

“I was part of the garden club. I went to the high school to work with teachers there,” Berte said. “I was doing everything I could to integrate into the community to understand the culture, to make friends and to improve my English.”

Then in April 2006 Cummins brought them to Columbus. Berte recalls that her husband always laughs about the fact that she cried when they moved from Lake Mills. Leaving the close community where she’d made so many friends was difficult for her.

Berte was offered an adjunct faculty position to teach international business at the Indiana University-Pur-

due University Columbus campus in July 2007. A couple of semesters later, when she was teaching additional courses, a tenured position for assistant management professor became available for the fall of 2008. She applied and was accepted.

During the application process, which includes an interview and teaching presentation, Berte became fully aware of how far she’d come.

The day she was delivering her presentation she nearly fainted.

“I was so nervous,” she said. “Not because I was presenting, but because of what this meant to me. Coming from Brazil and being a professor there to then coming here and not knowing how to function.”

Building relationships Adjusting to American culture was more challenging than she had anticipated. But overcoming the differences, Berte has found that her experience has enhanced her relationships and career.

As her English skills have improved, so has her understanding of American culture. She says she is more comfortable with everyday tasks, from driving to paying bills to cooking.

“You start to become a citizen without a country,” she said. “As I study international business and the more I learn about different countries and different people, the more I can relate to them. I also become a better educator because you have a broader feel about the world and the problems of society.”

Colleague and friend Ilknur Kelceoglu describes Berte as a warm individual who is understanding and thoughtful. She says that Berte’s Brazilian background offers students an invaluable opportunity.

“I think it brings a great perspective because she comes from a different culture,” said Kelceoglu.

Berte considers environmental awareness an essential and responsible part of any approach to business. That awareness is ingrained deeply in the cultural consciousness of Brazil, home to the Amazon rainforest.

In 2008, Berte and Kelceoglu founded the Environmental Consciousness Organization (ECO Club), which promotes environmental awareness and action on the IUPUC campus.

Betty Gomez, president of the ECO Club, first met Berte when she took her international business course. Gomez says that Berte demonstrates a genuine interest in her students’ understanding of the material.

“She seems like she really wants you to learn the lesson, not necessarily for the grade, but just to learn the lesson,” she said.

According to Berte, business and environmental practices in Brazil are quite different than those in the United States. In Brazilian academia, students and professors work to establish a relationship. As an essential part of their culture, relationships are the foundation for all interactions, especially business transactions.

“You need to build a relationship in order to do business,” Berte said. “And here, you do business without knowing the person.”

She believes that a lack of environmental awareness is causing problems that affect our society as a whole.

“I’m still learning and trying to do what I can, but there is much more to learn and get involved in,” Berte said.

Outside of work, she and her husband enjoy being active — riding bikes and exercising with their dog. They appreciate the diversity Columbus offers combined with a small-town environment.

“I think because we have some big multinational companies located here, we have a bit of flavor of a big town,” Berte said. “We can see the partnerships that are made between the educational organizations, businesses, the nonprofits and the people.”

What does she miss most about native Brazil? Family, of course. She says it is the missed anniversaries and special events that really accentuate the distance.

“Those are the milestones in your family and life that you miss,” she said. “And you can’t replace that.”

How do you feel about

paintball and hockey?

Guys just want you to have fun Compiled by Crystal Henry When it comes to dating, guys have one thing on their minds: if the woman they’re with is having a good time. Often a man may plan a date around what he thinks or knows (depending on the length of courtship) the woman would like to do most; however if left to his own devices, with his best interests in mind, what would be a guy’s ideal date?

She magazine took to the streets to find out.

Most men couldn’t help but try to include activities they thought their date would enjoy, but a few were able to pick out something just for them. A few surprised us, but most it seems are pretty easy to please. So take heed, ladies, here’s what a man wants:

They could see anything but a “chick flick” and go to dinner at Zwanzigz before and get some pizza and beer. If they parked at Zwanzigz, they could enjoy an evening stroll to YES Cinema.

Chris would like to “go old school.” He said he’d take the woman on a hike and plan a picnic at the top of a bluff. He said they could talk and get to know each other, and the physical activity would be a test to see if she enjoys the same active things he does.

Chris Hart

Age: 28 Location: Columbus Occupation: “A kept man” Relationship status: In a relationship Chris said he’d like to go for dinner at a sushi restaurant and then hit up a dive bar. He said you can’t get to know a woman at the movies because you can’t really have a conversation.

Instead he’d like to meet up with his friends and hers at the bar and all just have a great time together. An easy evening that ends with her going home with friends is just fine by him.

Kha jokes that camping together in nature leaves you with no worries, aside from the occasional animal attack.

But he said it would allow him to see a more natural side of the woman since she’d have no means of primping or putting on makeup. “It’s just you.”

Jesse Lewis

Age: 24 Location: Columbus Occupation: Military Relationship status: Married Jesse would take his date to a paintball range.

After a little adventure and athleticism, he’d spring for Italian food at Buca di Beppo and share a bottle of wine.

Ryan McKay

Age: 24 Location: Columbus Occupation: Engineer Relationship status: Single Ryan said his ideal evening would be at a hockey game where his date acts excited. If not a hockey game, then a concert for a band they both like and dinner at a steakhouse.

Springing the right

jacket Compiled by Kelsey DeClue Photos by Alton Strupp

We all know spring in Indiana can be unpredictable at best. Sunlight can give way to rain in a matter of moments; 70-degree temps can transition to low 40s from day to day.

That’s why we Hoosiers must be equipped to handle the turbulence. In our arsenal, first and foremost — a good spring jacket.

Even better, with the styles available this season, fashion can match function.

According to Paula Eller, of Edinburgh Premium Outlets, zippers, snaps, wide collars and bright primary colors are popular features of the spring jacket.

Eller said the classic trench coat continues to be a staple. However, it comes in some updated versions, such as prints and even denim. Check out these styles selected from the stores at Edinburgh Premium Outlets:

P a g e 3 2 SHE m a g a z i n e • a p r i l 2 0 1 1

The “scuba” jacket — Form-fitted and made of non-leather material. $150 from Ann Taylor.

The La Conner jacket — A “fisherman” rain gear look with the luxury of modern fabrics; also comes with adjustable hood. $60 from Eddie Bauer.

Wicked Summit full-zip jacket — Best for active people, with builtin sun protection and moisture evaporation technology. $40 from Columbia.

Extreme function jacket — Perfect for walking or golfing because of its removable sleeves. $40 from Izod.

The denim trench — Can also be used in place of a blazer. $140 from Banana Republic.

Canvas zip-up jacket — An example of the wide collar that’s popular this year. An adjustable waist gives the wearer the option of a form- or loose-fitting look. $70 from Tommy Hilfiger.

Red pea coat-inspired jacket — It’s the spring version of your favorite winter coat. This statement jacket is made of a cotton/nylon blend instead of winter’s wool. $70 from Nautica.

Physical Therapy Alleviate Bladder Control Problems

illions of women of all ages experience M the embarrassing and frustrating effects of

By Jennifer Stidham

urinary incontinence once in a while or on a daily basis.

Urinary incontinence is an unintentional leaking of urine. Dealing with this problem may limit social activities, as it tends to worsen. It may eventually affect quality of life by limiting people not only physically, but socially and emotionally.

Women are likely to be incontinent due to the effects of pregnancy, childbirth or menopause and because of the structure of their anatomy. Other contributing factors can include constipation, infection, neurological problems and obesity.

Incontinence happens more often with aging but is never normal. Many women suffer in silence, not knowing there are successful treatments for this medical condition.

Leaking occurs because of problems with the pelvic floor muscles or nerves that control the bladder. The pelvic floor muscles act like a hammock supporting the internal organs and keeping the sphincters closed for bladder and bowel control.

Leaking will occur if the pelvic floor muscles are weak or unable to hold against the force of the abdominal muscles during activities such as coughing and sneezing. This is called stress incontinence. It is the most common form of incontinence.

Urge incontinence will cause a sudden, strong need to urinate followed by leaking before making it to the toilet. This is sometimes called “overactive bladder.” Urges may become frequent. When these urges awaken one during sleep, then it is called nocturia.

The bladder muscle may be contracting at the wrong time from infection, poor dietary choices, poor bladder habits or problems with the nervous system. Some women will experience a combination of both stress and urge incontinence, which is called mixed incontinence.

april 2011 • she magazine

Here are a few questions to determine whether you have a bladder problem: • Do you leak when you cough, sneeze or laugh?

• Do you use the toilet more than seven times a day?

• Do you wake up to use the toilet more than once a night?

• Do you have strong urges and sometimes not make it to the toilet in time?

If you answered yes to even one of these questions, then you may benefit from treatments for bladder control.

Knowing that there are treatments for bladder control and that you don’t have to just live with a leaky bladder is important toward regaining control of your life.

Take the first step and see your health care practitioner to get a thorough exam and rule out any medical conditions. Most everyone will improve with some form of behavioral treatment.

Behavioral treatments should focus on teaching awareness, strengthening and coordination of the pelvic floor muscles with surrounding key muscles. Kegel exercises are designed to strengthen the pelvic floor muscles in both men and women. They are more effectively taught with the use of biofeedback/EMG, which gives visual and auditory feedback during exercise.

Treatment should also address any pain or muscle dysfunction, dietary influences, voiding patterns and education in proper posture and body mechanics with daily activities.

Ideally, women should seek treatment with a physical therapist with advanced training in female health. Physical therapy is an appealing choice for those looking to start with a non-pharmaceutical and non-surgical option.

Jennifer Stidham is a senior physical therapist with Columbus Regional Hospital.

Ham it up Invite all your relatives for a traditional Easter dinner

With Easter on the horizon, the forecast is clear: ham, with lots of leftovers.

Nothing goes quite so well with creamy deviled eggs and fresh, grassy asparagus on Easter Sunday as the sweet-saltiness of baked ham.

Add a light dessert of cream puffs with fresh fruit, and you have the makings for an Easter feast.

Ham WITH MUSTARD VERMOUTH SAUCE 2 tablespoons butter 2 shallots, minced 1 clove garlic, minced 2 cups dry vermouth 1 tablespoon brown sugar 2½ tablespoons cornstarch 2 cups chicken broth

Put butter in saute pan; add shallot and garlic, and saute in butter until tender. Pour in vermouth and brown sugar, and simmer for about 5 minutes to evaporate the alcohol.

Meanwhile, in a bowl, whisk together cornstarch and broth. Add thyme. Pour this mixture into simmering vermouth. Stir sauce over low heat until it thickens. Remove from heat and stir in mustards. Check for seasoning and add salt if you like.

Serve warm over warm sliced ham.

— Raleigh News and Observer

½ teaspoon dried thyme ½ cup Dijon mustard ¼ cup whole-grain mustard

DEVILED EGGS

12 large eggs ¼ cup mayonnaise 1 teaspoon yellow mustard 1 tablespoon minced onion Salt Pepper Paprika (or fresh parsley leaves)

april 2011 • she magazine

Start by boiling the eggs. Put them in cold water and let them heat up to a gentle boil. Once the water is boiling, let it go for about 12 minutes.

While the eggs are cooking, mince 1 tablespoon of onion to add to the yolk mixture.

Immediately after cooking, drain the hot water from the pot and run cold water over the eggs for about 2 minutes. This will ensure that the shells come off easily.

Peel the eggs, cut them in half lengthwise and carefully remove the yolks and place in a mixing bowl to add other ingredients.

Mash the yolks until they are an even, dry consistency.

Begin adding the rest of the ingredients, including the tablespoon of minced onion, the ¼ cup of mayonnaise, teaspoon of yellow mustard and salt and pepper to taste.

Spoon the filling back into the egg whites. If you want to be fancy and have the equipment and talent, use a pastry bag to put the yolk mixture into the whites with style.

Paprika or fresh parsley leaves make great garnishes for deviled eggs. If you are looking for a lower-calorie and lower-fat option, replace the mayonnaise with low-fat yogurt.

LEMON AND STRAWBERRY

Cream Puffs

P a g e 4 0 SHE m a g a z i n e • a p r i l 2 0 1 1

For the puffs: ¾ cup water 6 tablespoons (¾ stick) unsalted butter 2 tablespoons sugar Pinch of salt ¾ cup all-purpose flour 4 eggs Zest of 1 lemon For the filling and topping: 1 pound fresh strawberries, hulls removed, cut up 2 tablespoons sugar 1 teaspoon vanilla extract Whipped cream or lemon sorbet, to fill

Heat the oven to 425 F. Coat a baking sheet with cooking spray, then line it with parchment paper.

In a medium saucepan over medium-high, heat the water, butter, sugar and salt until boiling. Add the flour and stir vigorously while continuing to cook until the mixture forms a ball, pulls away from the sides of the pan and all dry flour has been absorbed.

Transfer the dough to the bowl of a stand mixer and beat on medium with the paddle attachment for 1 minute. Add the eggs, one at a time, scraping down the bowl and making sure that each is incorporated into the mixture before adding the next.

Using a large spoon, form the dough into golf ball-sized mounds and arrange on the prepared baking sheet, allowing 3 inches between each.

Bake for 10 minutes. Lower the oven temperature to 350 F and continue to bake until golden, crispy and light, about another 15 to 20 minutes. Set aside to cool.

While the puffs bake and cool, in a medium bowl combine the strawberries, sugar and vanilla. Lightly crush the strawberries with a fork.

Set aside.

After the puffs have cooled, cut them in half crosswise. Fill each with berries and whipped cream or sorbet.

These treats come together without too much trouble. Best yet, while these desserts may look substantial, they have just 116 calories (when filled with whipped cream).

You also can fill these pastries with pastry cream (or pudding), ice cream or sorbet, or even a savory filling (if the latter, omit the sugar from the dough). We chose to flavor ours with lemon zest, but you could use any extract or zest, or leave them plain. You also could use other berries in place of the strawberries. The puffs should be made the day they are served. In a pinch, they can be frozen.

This weather

puts a little spring in my step

By Daniel Schuetz Today might be the nicest day of the year. Not actually today — the day I am writing this — but today, the day you are reading this. Not the date on the calendar, as I do not know, at this moment, what that will be. But that future today, somewhere in mid-April, might be the nicest day of the year.

“Why,” you may ask, “would you say such a thing?”

“Well,” I’ll tell you. “Well.”

Generally speaking, I enjoy the weather in Indiana. The variety, the unpredictability, the distinct seasons. If forced to choose, I would say that fall is our nicest season. It is generally warm, fading to cool, the colors are usually lovely, and it often has some heft to it — weeks to contemplate the change.

Additionally, fall brings all sorts of athletic events, outdoor activities, holidays and the like.

What’s not to like about fall in Indiana? Oh, summer is great — who doesn’t like summer?

And, winter has its merits. But this is not about the seasons — it is about today.

OK, a bit more about seasons. Spring would be my favorite. More sunlight. More warmth. The

emergence of flowers. The birds, the bees — the whole lot.

However, I have learned not to expect too much from spring around here. We all know that the final bits of frost can give way to the heat and humidity of summer. It just happens.

Frequently.

Sometimes we get weeks of spring — and it is incredible. But even in the shortest of spring seasons — there is that day. Maybe it is this day.

The day in question is difficult or impossible to quantify. But here are some things for which to look. It generally happens during what the calendar tells us is spring. Sometime between late March and late June.

It is usually warm — ideally shorts and longsleeved shirt would be appropriate garb. You can smell it in the air, the soil, the grass, whatever floral fragrances float on the breeze. A breeze — that helps, too.

Blue skies are a plus. Perhaps some fluffy white clouds as well. If the daffodils are still blooming, great. I’m not too picky, though — tulips will do.

Lilacs? Great. Forsythia? Great.

Even with all of these guidelines, few of the “rules” for this nicest day are hard and fast. There

IN THE SUMMER SUN

Offering clinical facials, chemical peels and waxing. is flexibility. There are options. It is one of those things about which one might say they know it when they see it.

“Great,” you might now say. “Nicest day. Super.

So what?”

“So glad you asked,” I’ll say.

What is so nice about the nicest day is how it makes me feel. To walk outside and catch the freshness in the air. To feel the sunshine on my face. To perceive the rebirth of the world around me.

Aside from the pure pleasantness, there is that feeling. A feeling of optimism. A feeling of possibility.

“Yes? You over there — what’s that? You feel that way on the first day of summer? Uh, oh, OK. That could be the nicest day, sure.”

“What’s that? On the first snowfall? Well, if that suits you, I guess. Not really rebirth, is it?”

“A foggy, drizzly day in fall? You feel how?”

OK, so for you, today may not be even close to the nicest day of the year. But give it a sniff first.

Buttressing the argument for a strong backside

By Ian McGriff I’ve seen it way too often; I call it “frogs wearing pants.”

You get the visual, right? You see someone with no backside, no derrière, no caboose, no buttercup, no monster truck, no … butt! Not only does it look off, it’s also not good for the structural integrity of your body.

(I know, right. How did I go from buttercup to structural integrity?

Stay with me.) It’s known as “runner’s butt.”

So, who can be affected by this phenomenon? Men, women, the active and non-active, bikers, runners, walkers — anyone. As different as we all are, our bodies work the same.

The backside is essential for creating optimum performance.

I know that women want to make certain that their booties look good: not too big, not too small. But (no pun intended) this is my point: One also needs to have a booty that fires properly or you are setting yourself up for poor alignment, pain and a lack of movement efficiency. What do I mean?

Think of a runner. I want you to think about what this person’s backside looks like. Is it flat? More often than not, it is. I love running, and I encourage anyone who wants to run to do so. However, most runners only run because it’s all they have time for or because they feel it’s all they need.

I argue differently. Here’s why.

You have 27 muscles in your hip and thigh. These muscles lift, push,

pull and rotate your legs and torso in all possible planes of movement.

These are what we call “core” muscles. The muscles create, sustain and perpetuate movement.

Your abdominals are an extension of your core, but the basic structural foundation of your body lies in your hips and thighs. You cannot be strong if you don’t have a strong core. Period.

Your body works on what is called the kinetic chain, which is the life of movement in your body. Every joint and every muscle have a role in how you walk, run, jump, push, pull or drag. The body isn’t just a lot of muscles that are placed together. It’s a chain, a series of connected muscles, joints, fasciae and tendons that

create and sustain movement.

The kinetic chain is an alternating series of joints that either perpetuates stability or mobility. For example: • Shoulders — mobility.

• Scapula (shoulder blades) — stability.

• Thoracic spine (the part of your spine that allows you to bend front to back, left to right and rotate) — mobility.

• Lower back — stability.

• Hips — mobility.

• Knee — stability.

• Ankles — mobility.

• Feet — stability.

Knowing that your lower back (lumbar spine) is meant to be stable at all times, it makes sense that you threw your back out when you bent over to pick up that bag of dog food right?

So, what’s my point with the kinetic chain?

Simple. Your body needs to be 360-degree trained. I know we all want to work the “mirror muscles,” but only working these makes you all show and no go. You need to work your body in 360 degrees to create a little “steak and sizzle.”

There is nothing that sizzles about a frog wearing pants!

Your core is structured like a can of soup suspended by 17 rubber bands. When each rubber band is as strong as the other, the soup can sits perfectly level and even on all angles. What happens then when you lose strength in some of those muscles and some of those rubber bands?

It becomes uneven, and the soup can tilts.

So in the case of someone who only runs, they create more tension on the front side of their hips and weaken the back side. This creates a slight pelvic tilt, where the pelvis rotates forward and down. This tightens hamstrings, causes lower back discomfort and leads to injuries like plantar fasciitis.

Runner’s butt is the result of simplistic or incomplete training, creating imbalance in your body and neglecting certain muscles. When the kinetic chain is off, your whole body is off.

When your hips are off, it impacts the knees, ankles and arches of your feet.

How can you train in 360 degrees? Incorporate these eight moves into your workouts throughout the week, and you’ll see and feel vast improvements in your performance.

1. Dirty Dog: On your hands and knees. Lift one leg to the ceiling and then bring it back to rest. Repeat. Perform 10 to 15 per leg.

2. Horseback Riding: Start in the Dirty Dog position but rotate your leg backward while keeping your knee bent. Perform 10 repetitions on each leg.

3. Bird Dog and Rotate: Start in the Dirty Dog position. Extend your right arm and left leg away from your body. Slowly return your arm and leg to its starting position. Attempt to touch your elbow and knee by your stomach. Repeat and perform 10 to 15 per side.

4. Lateral Band Walk: Place a “super band” under your feet and hold at your chest. Take a large step to your side, then step to the opposite side.

This is one repetition. Repeat 15 times (not pictured).

5. Single Leg Balance Touch: Stand on one foot.

Bend slightly at the knee and reach your oppo-

site hand toward the floor. Extend your opposite foot behind you slightly to counterbalance your weight. Come to a complete standing position.

Repeat 15 per side. Use a wall to help you balance if you need to. Balance is a skill that is acquired over time; it might take practice to develop fully.

6. Single Leg Balance Reach: Stand on one foot.

Bend slightly at the knee and extend both arms over your head and out in front of you. Again, extend your opposite foot behind you to counterbalance your weight. Repeat 10 per side.

7. External Rotation: Grab a sport cord and place it around a steady support structure. Stand parallel with your support structure. Place your outside elbow into your side. Externally rotate your arm so that your hand comes away from your body.

Make sure to keep your elbow at your side rather than moving it away from your body. Repeat and perform 15 per side.

8. Scarecrow: Stand facing your support structure. Place your hands so that your arms are parallel to the floor. Keeping your elbow bent to 90 degrees, rotate at the shoulder to bring your hands up above your head. Slowly return to the start position and repeat. Perform 15 total repetitions.

Recommended reading “The Boy Who Harnessed the Wind,” by William Kamkwamba and Bryan Mealer. $14.99. 290 pages.

This is the Bartholomew County Community Book Read for 2011; activities around the book will take place later in the year.

William Kamkwamba was born in Malawi, a country where magic ruled and modern science was mystery. It was also a land withered by drought and hunger. But William had read about windmills, and he dreamed of building one that would bring to his small village a set of luxuries that only 2 percent of Malawians could enjoy: electricity and running water.

His neighbors called him misala — crazy

— but William refused to let go of his dreams. With a small pile of once-forgotten science textbooks, some scrap metal, tractor parts, bicycle halves and an armory of curiosity and determination, he embarked on a daring plan to forge an unlikely contraption and small miracle that would change the lives around him.

“The Boy Who Harnessed the Wind” is a remarkable true story about human inventiveness and its power to overcome crippling adversity. It will inspire anyone who doubts the power of one individual’s ability to change his community and better the lives of those around him. .

Landscape logic National Arbor Day this year is April 29.

The first National Arbor Day was celebrated on April 10, 1872, by J. Sterling Morton.

It was estimated that more than a million trees were planted in Nebraska on that first Arbor Day. Shortly after Morton moved to Nebraska, he missed the value that trees had provided when he grew up in Detroit. Trees have many benefits, such as shade, oxygen through photosynthesis, calming effect in urban areas and wildlife habitat.

Planning is critical for maximizing the value and life of a tree in the landscape.

Knowing information on the tree’s mature height, soil requirements and pest problems are just a few of the things you need to know before planting on your property.

If you would like more information on planting trees properly, please contact the Purdue Extension Education office at 3791665..

Healthy habits There are five basic skin care types: oily, combination, sensitive, dry and sun-damaged. To determine where your skin falls, wash your face, pat it dry, then take a few pieces of rice paper or lens-cleaning tissue paper and press on different spots on your face.

If your skin is oily, the paper will stick, pick up oily spots and become translucent.

If the paper doesn’t stick or pick up any oily spots, your skin is dry. If it sticks in your T-zone (forehead, nose and chin) then you have combination (or normal) skin.

About 70 percent of women have combination skin.
