innovation understands that seeing deeper into the lungs means diagnosing earlier.

It used to be that diagnosing lung abnormalities found on a CT or chest X-ray required a surgical biopsy. This caused many patients to hesitate…possibly delaying important diagnoses. Today, Dr. David Wilson at Columbus Regional Hospital’s Lung Institute uses endoscopic technology to look deeper into narrow lung passages than ever before. While there, he gathers a small tissue sample to biopsy—making precise diagnosis possible much earlier than ever before.

editor’s note Sometimes being in charge of a women’s magazine can be a little frustrating.

I know, perish the thought, but let me explain.

For example, this month it is frustrating because I feel it apropos to send a little love to all the dads out there.

As many of you know, we’re in the midst of a special mother-daughter healthy lifestyle competition, which we launched in May for the celebration of Mother’s Day. (You can read an update on the teams in the pages to follow.)

Also around Mother’s Day we brought you a special advertising section with gift ideas for mom.

Well, Father’s Day is just a few days away, and although we don’t have a special contest going or special offers from advertisers, I want our male readers, especially the fathers, to feel a little love.

Dads are wonderful. I’ve written about my dad in these pages before, so some of you may remember that as a child I always tried to fill the role of daddy’s little girl.

My sister was a girly girl, and I was the opposite — always climbing trees, skinning my knees and collecting gross things, so naturally I was drawn a bit more to dad.

As women age and go through the traditional rites of life passage, we become more in tune with our mothers. We begin to understand what they went through raising us; however, because we’re women, I’m not sure we can ever fully understand the role of fathers.

So on behalf of She magazine, thanks, dads, for all the bug killing and roughhousing. Thanks for carrying us to our beds when we fall asleep during family movie night. Thanks for teaching us just enough about sports to get by in casual conversation. Thanks for trying to scare our high school dates, whether it worked or not, and thanks for pretending not to cry when you left us for our first semesters at college.

Thanks for continued advice even into our adulthoods, whether we welcome it or not, and thanks for spoiling our children, your grandchildren, more often than you spoiled us.

Happy Father’s Day! Check out more odes to local dads in our Reader Comments section.

We have another great magazine for you — I’m sure you’re intrigued by our cover. Columbus native Melissa Koester donates Crocs to children in impoverished countries. Check out her story in the pages to follow.

Also, we look into this bunco phenomenon and Kelsey’s dad find out if anyone keeps a journal anymore … so get Ken VanArs , dall reading!

It’s all about keeping She your magazine.

They’re on their way to a

healthier place

Nine of the 10 contestants in She is a Healthy Mom: from left, Nita Whaley, Ashley Whaley, Jill Friedersdorf, Amy Fisher, Pam Langferman, Kathy Wilhite, Tiffany Heisey, Theresa Wilson and Luciana Kano-Wilson with trainers Megan and Ian McGriff. Not pictured, Kelley Wright.

By Kelsey DeClue | Photos by Andrew Laker Kettle bells, medicine balls, squats, lunges and TRX bands are their weapons of choice.

The enemies they besiege?

Laziness, tiredness, negative thoughts and, of course, fat.

They are the contestants of “She is a Healthy Mom” — mother and daughter, mother and daughter-in-law and mother and stepdaughter teams of two competing in the latest healthy lifestyle challenge through the magazine.

Last month, the five teams began their journey to eat right, exercise and trim down. They work out with trainers Ian and Megan McGriff of Tipton Lakes Athletic Club twice a week and attend nutrition and life coaching sessions twice a week.

Every two weeks, the teams compete in challenges that test their exercise and nutrition knowledge.

The points from those challenges, combined with team percentage of fat lost, will determine the winner.

This round, I decided to put my money (or should I say push-up) where my mouth is and participate in the challenge with my mom, Kim VanArsdall.

Participants are learning how to use their body weight, some free weights and a lot of natural movement exercises to get their heart rates up and shed pounds. I have been so proud of all the contestants and honored and inspired to exercise alongside them.

“I’m feeling pretty good,” said Luciana Kano-Wilson, who is competing with her mother-in-law, Theresa Wilson. “I have noticed a big difference in the amount of energy I have already just by changing my diet and drinking more water.

“I have always gotten ‘pukey’ feeling when I tried to work out before, and now I don’t have that problem. I can stay strong and feel good throughout the workout.”

The women alternate cardiovascular and metabolic exercises with strength training to get full body effect.

“I am enjoying very much getting back into a challenging workout. In my 20s I was doing bodybuilding, then had kids and that stopped. I worked out off and on, but more off,” said Wilson.

“Psychologically, it’s helping, too. I watched the contestants on ‘Biggest Loser’ say over and over that it made them feel more powerful and less fearful. If you can have control over this part of your life to make things better, then you feel like you can improve your life in other areas.”

The competition is also designed to challenge and thus strengthen the motherdaughter relationships of the contestants.

“I am so excited to be a part of this with my stepdaughter, Ashley,” said Nita Whaley. “Being a mother is hard, but blending two young adult families together is much harder.

“Ashley and I are getting to know each other better and on a different level. We both are eating much better, communicating more and pushing our bodies a little farther than we would working out by ourselves.”

After the first couple of weeks of training, the contestants’ determination was tested by sore muscles; however they pulled through, keeping the competition and end prize in mind.

“The two best things for me are one, doing it with Kelley — I love being with her — and two, looking at it as a challenge/ competition. It forces me to be more serious about following through,” said Jill Friedersdorf, who is competing with her daughter, Kelley Wright.

“I have never done well with going to gyms, so having to go is good. I have liked learning some of the work-outs as well. I can do them at home easily.”

“She is a Healthy Mom,” which is sponsored by Tipton Lakes Athletic Club, Dr. Max Henry, Taulman Chiropractic, Coca-Cola Smart Water, Red Lips Boutique, Fair Oaks Mall and St. Francis, runs through mid-July with the final challenge on July 14.

The winning team receives $500 and a complete makeover from Studio B Salon.

Stay tuned for another update in next month’s issue.

Giving away Crocs around the world

By Kelsey DeClue Photos submitted by Crocs Cares

M Panama

elissa Koester moved to Colorado for the active lifestyle the city of Boulder lends its residents However, under nearly always sunny skies and among ample walking, hiking and biking trails and beautiful mountain scenery, the Columbus native also found her dream job.

Two years after moving to Colorado, Koester applied for a sales job at Crocs Inc. and ended up in charge of the philanthropic arm of the national retail company.

“I had been in sales since graduating college but had always been interested in and done extensive research on nonprofit companies and how they’re run,” she said.

The 1992 Columbus East High School and Purdue University grad and daughter of Marilyn and Mike Koester has been with Crocs for five years, developing Crocs Cares (originally called SolesUnited) in 2007.

“No one had been in this position before (with the Crocs company) and it was exactly what I was looking for,” Koester said. “It’s the best of both worlds because I’m employed for a corporation that wants to give back.”

Crocs Cares’ overall mission is to work with nonprofit groups around the world and provide shoes for children and their caregivers and those in disaster situations. The division of the company also has programs set up for Crocs employees, including healthy lifestyle initiatives and built-in paid volunteering days.

Since its inception, Crocs Cares has donated nearly 3 million shoes to 40 impoverished countries, disasterstricken areas and local Colorado communities.

A program manager, Koester travels on most of the donation missions — her favorite part of the job description.

On the scene “When you get in the field, you’re actually seeing it firsthand and being able to give back,” she said. “People don’t understand the need, but when you’re there, in the dirt, actually putting shoes on people’s feet, you realize a lot of people need help out there.”

Crocs Cares always works with a international humanitarian relief organization, such as UNICEF, to ship and distribute the shoes. The missions span anywhere from three days to a week.

“I have been impressed with her ease in dealing with NBA stars, first ladies, television celebrities and poor indigenous moms and their babies with the same smile on her face and commitment to making sure that everyone is happy with the gift of Crocs,” said Mark Connolly, senior adviser for the regional office for Latin America and the Caribbean for UNICEF. He has worked with Koester on missions to Panama and the Dominican Republic.

“She is fun to work with, always sees the silver lining in the clouds, is entirely committed to working with partners and is not afraid of hours in a canoe in a jungle where the U.S. Embassy has a travel advisory,” Connolly said.

“Melissa wants to reach the poorest of the poor with a donation of Crocs that will never be forgotten.”

On a distribution in Malawi, Africa, Koester and volunteers handed out 20,000 pairs of shoes “from morning to evening,” she said.

Waiting their turns “You think of how people over here react to free stuff. On that trip there were lines and lines of kids waiting for shoes, and none of them said a word. The people are so calm and serene.”

Although now a veteran on the mission trips, Koester said they still affect her deeply.

“It’s intense,” she said. “But no matter how long the day, how hot the sun is or how dirty you are, you don’t notice.

“When you slip a pair of shoes on some child who has never had them before, none of that other stuff matters.”

So why are shoes so important?

Climates like those in Africa, Haiti and Panama (where Crocs Cares frequently works) are hospitable to ground parasites, which can be transferred to the body through the feet.

“They basically invade the body and get into the gastrointestinal system,” Koester said.

“They take the nutrition from these children, and they already don’t have much to eat over there. It’s a huge health concern.”

Crocs Cares donates to pockets of need elsewhere around the world, including the 100,000 pairs the company sent to Japan after the earthquake and tsunami and the 1,000 pairs to Alabama after the spring tornadoes.

“We work with the military to donate to war zones, and we work a lot on the state and local level, such as with the Denver Children’s Hospital, St. Jude and Big Brothers Big Sisters,” she said.

“People don’t understand the need, but when you’re there, in the dirt, actually putting shoes on people’s feet, you realize a lot of people need help out there.” ­— Melissa Koester Kenya

Koester and her team organize monthly local events and encourage Crocs employees to participate.

“My goal would be to start sustainable programs that provide jobs for people not only in our community and the U.S., but internationally,” she said.

Another big part of her job is marketing the efforts and accomplishments of Crocs Cares.

“We’ve done all this stuff and still not many know about it,” she said.

“Not many even know the Crocs Cares name. And it’s not so much to say, ‘Oh look at us and all we’ve accomplished,’ but more to create awareness and get people involved.

“It’s front and center to make this program bigger and better.”

Purdue senior follows her flight plan

for a career in aviation Sammy Cunningham caught the bug for flying the summer before she was to begin her freshman year at Purdue University.

Already accepted into the Purdue athletic training program, the Columbus North High School graduate quickly switched majors after spending time at Columbus Municipal Airport flying with her grandfather and his friends.

Now, set to graduate in August with a degree in aviation, with plans to be a professional pilot, Cunningham is confident with her career path.

“Both of my grandparents on my dad’s side learned to fly.

My grandpa, Joe Cunningham, has flown most of his life and now owns two airplanes which he keeps at the Columbus airport,” she said. “Over the past few summers I have been able to spend time with him and his friends, and they have helped guide me through my aviation career and are always there to give me advice.”

Fear of flying is not a catchphrase that has ever been in June 2011 • she magazine

Cunningham’s vocabulary. In fact, she claims that the first time she experienced what it was like to look down from a single-engine airplane was just too exciting. She recalls her first flight in her grandfather’s Piper Cub, with Doug Eckart, a family friend and retired Cummins pilot, at the controls.

“Doug took me around Columbus in the Cub with the windows wide open to the sky so I could feel the wind and see the ground below me. There is really nothing like it,” she said.

As a former cheerleader and diver in high school, she also is no stranger to self-discipline, an attribute that has probably helped her succeed in her academic career.

Air time Cunningham has already earned her private and commercial certificates for flying, and she plans to continue building flight time to navigate aircraft in either a corporate or commercial setting. page 15

Sammy Cunningham sits in the cockpit of a Boeing 737 at Atlanta International Airport during an internship with AirTran.

This summer she will be interning for Cummins Inc., although she will stay grounded to learn the daily operational challenges and successes that come with business aircraft operation. This will include observation and interactions with all departments related to the aviation department, including aircraft maintenance, customer service, scheduling of aircrafts and crews, flight planning and flight operations. Not to mention experiencing corporate aviation flying.

“She’s just a natural when it comes to the field,” said Joe Cunningham. “Plus she just fits in with us at the hangar and is just as willing to crack a joke as she is to clean one of the airplanes.”

Cummins will actually be her second internship, as last summer she lived in Atlanta and was a flight operations intern for AirTran Airways, getting a firsthand look at the behind-the-scenes action of a major airline.

Cunningham recalls one of her most memorable experiences while she was stationed at Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport. She and another intern rode in the cockpit when the only other people on the plane were the flight attendants and the pilots. She also had the opportunity to fly often.

Where to?

“One of the benefits of working for an airline is free or reduced traveling. I traveled almost every weekend and sometimes during the week,” she said. “I went to Seattle with my supervisor and the other intern to tour the Boeing facility, New Orleans for dinner and to Milwaukee to assist with a children’s day camp sponsored by AirTran.”

Cunningham and her boyfriend, Doug Haskins, in Fort Myers, Fla., before the Purdue Women’s Air Race.

“Sammy is very intelligent, laid-back and comfortable to be with. She is a very solid thinker,” said Eckart. He also agrees with her grandfather that she is a natural in the field of flying.

In order to fly professionally, a pilot has to have flight time. Cunningham earned her private pilot’s certificate first, which allowed her to fly for recreational purposes only. She continued to accumulate hours in the air and added an instrument rating to the certificate, which meant she could fly in weather with reduced visibility.

She sought her commercial certificate next, which also included an instrument rating. Now she can be paid to fly.

Lastly, she obtained her multi-engine rating, although she is not yet certified to fly jets.

“After graduation in August, I hope to find a position flying for a regional airline, but if that doesn’t work out I will get my certified flight instructor certificate and teach others to fly, as you can count these hours toward your own to build flight time,” Cunningham said.

The daughter of Kelly Toburen and Bruce Cunningham, and one of four siblings, she says she does not have as much time to hang out with her family as she would like, but when the opportunity arises (school breaks usually), they try to do something fun together, such as canoeing or playing cards.

She also enjoys spending time outside, scrapbooking, going to sporting events and, of course, traveling.

Having a word with yourself Keeping a journal promotes reflection and growth for the writer

By Jennifer Willhite

Monday Dear Diary, Today Tommy kicked the back of my chair all through English class, and I was the one who got in trouble for it! He is so annoying.

Thursday Dear Diary, Tommy asked me to the winter dance this weekend.

I guess I’ll go with him.

After all, he is kinda cute.

Remember the days when you huddled over the worn pages of that sacred notebook you kept locked away where only you knew? That little book was your refuge. It held your deepest, darkest secrets.

And perhaps as you aged you went back and revisited the old days, wondering why you were ever so silly to obsess over some things.

Journaling may come easily to teenage girls wrapped up in the emotional drama of those tumultuous years; however, most of us abandon this need to sort our thoughts as we enter adulthood.

But why?

Thanks to social media outlets, we’re able to make our thoughts and actions public in the click of a button, but does this really make us more in tune with who we are and what we want out of life?

Likely not, and here’s why. Whether the writing is performed as a creative outlet or as a matter of reflection or therapy, journaling is a valuable tool for self-realization and personal growth at any age.

Mary Garvey, marriage and family therapist with Centerstone, spent a year journaling using Julia Cameron’s “The Artist’s Way: A Spiritual Path to Higher Creativity” as her guide. Along with two other women, Garvey wrote faithfully each day for a year.

“At the end of that year, I had a clearer picture of myself,” said Garvey. “Not only did my mental stress become less over the span of that year, but also my physical

stress was improved.”

Making a deliberate effort to set aside psychological clutter and quiet the mind can sometimes feel awkward.

Time for reflection Though thoughts are instinctual, according to Garvey, journaling is a way of stemming the tide of ubiquitous stimulation in one’s mind and environment. Slow, purposeful reflection can ease open doors long closed to feelings and experiences starved for recognition and reconciliation.

“Many people today do not get their thoughts — or for that matter, their sentences — out because so much of social media encourages using texting language,” Garvey said. “This might be OK for texting, tweeting, Facebook and other social networks, but I do not believe it is the best way to journal.”

Her personal commitment to journaling made Garvey more comfortable recommending the process, although she cautions that speed should never be associated with journaling. It is a matter of mindfulness.

Regular journaling can often help one work through anxious feelings and depression. Lynnette Dunn has routinely recorded her thoughts for over a decade and recommends journaling as a medium for emotional release. The mother of two says that journaling allows her to reflect on her day and, at times, work through negative feelings and let them go.

“I try to write every day, even if it’s only a few words,” said Dunn. “It keeps me from being depressed because I write my feelings down and they no longer bother me.”

Renewed awareness Often times, individuals are very much aware of what they don’t want in their lives. But many are never able to truly know what they do want, Garvey said. It is by journaling and working through one’s feelings that realizations can manifest.

“Once you know what you do not want, you can then be free to start the journey of that which you do want,” Garvey said.

“We often uncover what we really want to do with our life once we truly get in touch with our inner self.”

Depending on the purpose, there are as many types of journaling as there are journals. From personal journaling to prayer, travel and dream recall, one’s purpose for journaling can be nearly anything.

Some people prefer structured writing, such as using writing prompts, and must have a set purpose before putting pen to

paper. Others prefer freestyle journaling, which allows one’s “stream of consciousness” to flow.

Sometimes, simply addressing journal entries to a loved one can be enough to jump-start the writing process. Although the salutation is structured, the body of the entry may flow freely to twist and wind from recalling the events of the day to reflecting on times past or hopes for the future.

Even if placing words upon a page is not one’s forte, keeping a journal of sketches that convey thoughts and feelings can accomplish the same thing.

When journaling, don’t censor or judge what you’re writing. Allow thoughts to flow freely.

As a spiritual process, journaling allows one to better know the self. For instance, if working through anger or resentment, it is important to understand the origin of the negativity. Writing freely can allow those feelings to surface and be better understood.

Learned skill Katherine Wills, assistant professor of English at Indiana University Purdue University Columbus, regularly uses journaling as a teaching tool in her elementary composition course. And though some students consider journaling “busy work,” by the end of the semester, many have a better understanding of the value of the exercise.

Journaling in the classroom is an opportunity for students to examine writing as a process. Reviewing entries penned at the start of the semester serves to measure the progress they’ve made throughout the course. Students familiar with journaling generally like the reflective and introspective process journaling offers, Wills says.

“In time, many resistant students change their views on the benefits of journaling by examining their early thoughts to their more developed thoughts as reflected in the journals,” Wills said.

So how does one start in keeping a journal? Consider the following: • Establish your purpose for the journal.

• Decide what type of journal to keep.

• Decide from the outset whether the journal will be partially or completely private.

• Choose a format that best suits your purpose.

• Set aside a time to write each day.

What’s for Lunch?

Quick food and good style are in the bag Compiled by Kelsey DeClue | Photos by Alton Strupp When I was in elementary school, lunchtime was full of swapping sandwiches for desserts, gabbing with friends and, of course, showing off our awesome lunchboxes.

“Brown bagging it” was not an option. Over the years, my tin lunchbox reflected the toy or cartoon series I was most into at the time. It was fun to have my personality and interests portrayed in something as simple as the vessel for carrying my PB & J. Over the past several months, I’ve noticed a trend in the company refrigerator at The Republic — the return of the lunchbox.

Now, today there aren’t as many boxes but more what is appropriately called a tote, a soft version with a bag-like appearance. However the pizazz and personality are still there.

In the morning, the break room refrigerator comes alive with blues, pinks, stripes, paisley and polka dots, all protecting someone’s lunch.

So I thought I’d find out just who belongs to these totes, and I thought you might like to know, too. Whether purchased from the local Wal-Mart or specially designed at a friend’s 31 Party, these lunchboxes reflect their owners, just as my Kermit tin did for me.

P a g e 2 0 SHE m a g a z i n e • J u n e 2 0 1 1

“I purchased my tote from a 31 Party that I hosted. I believe it was around $15,” said Cindy Fillenworth, sales representative for The Republic Classifieds.

“I like to carry my lunch in it, or when my grandgirls are with me, they like to put goodies in it to take outside.

I had my grandmother title, “Nomie,” put on it since I knew the girls would love the bag ... and they do!”

“I am a Rachael Ray fan. I love the Food Network, and this tote was a gift ($20 from Kohl’s) to celebrate my love for both. I already have the pots and pans, cookbooks and knives,” said Sukie Decker, sales representative for The Republic Classifieds.

“I enjoy having a tote that allows me to bring just about anything to work. It’s not uncommon to spot me heating up my lunch, dropping it in my tote and heading out for a walk to enjoy my hot lunch at the park or around town. My Rachael Ray tote keeps it all together for me.”

“I just love the Colts,” said Vicki Fields, accounts receivable clerk. “I think I got it at Kmart for under $10. I just wanted something different than a plastic bag. This way, I know which lunch is mine without going through everyone’s sacks. It keeps things cold on my 25-minute drive to work in the mornings, plus it shows the Colts pride!”

Brenda Showalter, The Republic features editor, also purchased her tote from a 31 Party. She uses it to keep snacks cool throughout the work day.

“This metal Smurf lunchbox came from Old Navy. They’re $15, and I’ve not actually used it as a lunchbox yet, as it’s intended,” said Amanda Waltz, senior graphic designer. “It’s so retrocool that I’ve found it much more appropriate to set it out in my office/art room at home.

“The black one was ordered from a 31 Party. It was $12 plus $6 to have my name embroidered in pink on it. This one serves better as an actual lunchbox when I bring my lunch to work because it’s flexible and insulated for cold stuff.

And it has my name on it so nobody can steal my lunch.”

By Meghan Barr | Associated Press Associated Press Photos CLEVELAND — When Wanda Jackson was a girl with a gravelly voice who opened for Elvis Presley in the 1950s, nobody had ever heard a woman sing like that before.

By then, Presley was already gyrating his way to superstardom. But Jackson — called the “queen of rockabilly” for her gritty, feisty performances — couldn’t even get her songs played on the radio.

“It’s like they just got their heads together and said, ‘We will not help this girl do it,’” the 73-year-old Jackson recalls.

“They just wouldn’t play my records if it was the rock stuff.

So it didn’t take long before I was putting a country song on one side of a record and a rock song on the other.”

Jackson’s old acoustic guitar will be featured at a new exhibit dedicated to female artists at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in downtown Cleveland. “Women Who Rock: Vision, Passion, Power” chronicles the pioneering role of women in rock ’n’ roll, from Ma Rainey and Bessie Smith to Bikini Kill and Lady GaGa. The hall of fame had toyed with the idea of opening such an exhibit for years, and it gained traction after Cyndi Lauper paid a visit last year and watched a film about the roots of rock, said Jim Henke, vice president of exhibitions and curatorial affairs.

“She thought it was too male-dominated,” Henke says, “and she wondered where the female artists were.”

Museum officials say just about 9 percent of its inductees are women — a reflection of the rock industry, which was a macho culture at its core, says Glenn Altschuler, a Cornell University professor who wrote the book “All Shook Up: How Rock ’n’ Roll Changed America.”

“Women were the subjects of songs,” Altschuler says. “They were the objects of affection. But they appeared in the audience and not on the stage.”

There weren’t many role models for women who wanted to make it big in the early years, says Shirley Alston Reeves, a member of the hit 1960s girl group The Shirelles.

“You know, somebody has to break the ice,” Reeves says. “We wanted to do it because we enjoyed the male groups and the harmonies, and we thought it would be a good idea.”

Backup roles Darlene Love, who is considered to be one of the greatest background singers of all time, says many women sang backup vocals because the prevailing belief was that they ought to stay in the background. At the peak of her career, Love sang on records for the likes of The Beach Boys, Frank Sinatra and Luther Vandross.

“Women are the backbone of rock,” she says. “If you listen to every record that has probably been recorded in the last 60, 70 years, there are women in the background, not men.”

Gender discrimination was still alive and well in the 1970s, when some radio stations would not allow DJs to play two singles by female artists in a row. And for women such as Nancy and Ann Wilson, who were just beginning to form a little rock band called Heart, there were industry assumptions about who they were supposed to be as artists.

“You can’t be aggressive, you know — you have to be a little shy, retiring female,” says Ann Wilson, who some critics say is one of the best rock singers in music. “Well, you know, that doesn’t fly with us.”

Since rock was “invented by men to get girls,” as Wilson puts it, female artists struggled to mold the industry in their own image.

“Just because we’re female, we don’t necessarily think we have to come out dressed as porn stars,” she says. “There’s more than one way that it can be. You have choices.”

Classics on display The museum exhibit itself is an exercise in contrasts. There’s the gold bustier Madonna wore during her “Blond Ambition” tour and handwritten lyrics from Joni Mitchell’s first album. There’s Bonnie Raitt’s dobro guitar and a Mickey Mouse Club jacket worn by Christina Aguilera. There’s the nude rhinestone outfit that Britney Spears famously revealed at MTV’s Video Music Awards in 2000 and Stevie Nicks’ handwritten lyrics to “Stand June 2011 • she magazine

Back.” Oh, and let’s not forget Lady Gaga’s infamous “meat dress,” which is also on display.

Visitors can watch a short story about how women in rock have shaped music, and the museum will host educational programming throughout the year highlighting the history of female recording artists.

It is a triumphant moment for Jackson, who is enjoying the most success she can remember as she tours the country performing with Jack White — formerly of The White Stripes — promoting the new album they recorded together.

“The new fans of our little simple ’50s rock music, they have gone back and found all these songs and sing along with me,” Jackson says, “And I thought, ‘Man, this is what I wanted in the ’50s and ’60s but never had that opportunity. So I’m certainly enjoying it big-time now.”

Some artists, though, are not so sure that times have changed as much as they’d like. The industry still pressures female artists to play up their sexuality because that’s what sells, says Liz Phair, who is most lauded for her 1993 album, “Exile in Guyville.” The pressure was so intense, Phair says, that she felt she had been stuffed into a “little typical box” and tried to turn the exploitation on its head.

But she has since learned to coexist with the status quo.

“There was a moment when the cool girls were kicking ass and taking names,” Phair says. “And right now it’s the hot girl.

I’m happy, personally, as long as our numbers are up.”

In the summer I work on becoming a better person

viewfrommars

By Andrew Larson “Some men make money, others make time.”

My friend and fellow teacher, Joe, posted this online last week. and it reminded me of a few things that I had forgotten. It’s funny how a long school year can do that to a person. This column is dedicated to remembering things I’ve forgotten about education.

Since this year has been a little tough, the first reminder I need to give myself is that this job is what I was meant to do.

It should be noted that teaching was not my first plan. Honestly, when students today tell me they want to teach, I wonder how they know. There’s so much that, from the teenage point of view, is unattractive about the career choice.

I think that one needs to first see the other side of the professional spectrum and then come back to teaching when you realize that hanging out with adults all day, all year long, can be an even tougher gig than teaching (fellow adult readers: no offense, please).

When I figured out that I could spend my days with kids and get paid to do it, I was hooked on the idea. Everyone should be so lucky as to have a job that makes sense for them.

The next reminder is that school years do actually end. I cannot comprehend a job (well, anything, for that matter) where there is not such a distinct beginning and end. The end of a school year is not just a finish line — it’s a benchmark in a continuous growth cycle.

Don’t all jobs need this? Shouldn’t every person not only have the expectation that we slow down to ponder the question, “Did we succeed?” but also the time to do it?

My heart goes out to people whose occupations expect them to continually get better while not affording them the time to reflect on their practices. And no, vacation time doesn’t count, nor do weekends. Having real time to reflect on one’s practices isn’t the same as taking a break to unwind or spend time with family; time for professional reflection should be an extension of one’s work schedule.

Herein lies the biggest myth about teachers having the summer off. Most of us who really care about getting better as educators do not simply while away the summer days lying in hammocks (I mean, yeah, we do plenty of that, but mostly you can’t spend 10 weeks on it.)

I have 13 additional work days scheduled for the summer so far, and that will no doubt approach 20 before the end of June arrives. Most of those days are evaluative in nature.

How did we do last year? What will we do to make next year better?

Understatement of the year: Teaching is intense. I will admit that sometimes (especially by the end of the year,) I forget what I like to do for fun. I mean, sure, my work is fun, most of the time, but the concept of being defined by my work makes me extremely uncomfortable.

I am a teacher, but what if I didn’t ever have time to not be a teacher? What if I didn’t have time to strive to become a better handyman, gardener, musician, athlete, dad and husband?

Being a teacher allows me, and all teachers, to also be so many other things … and not just in the summer, mind you.

Who else gets off in time to play baseball in the backyard before dinner?

I have no intention of talking about teacher salary, but don’t they say that “time is money”? See there — that whole “money versus time” debate, it turns out, is not a debate at all.

Cash talk

By Jalene Hahn “We are what we repeatedly do. … Excellence is therefore not an act but a habit.”

— Aristotle Now that we have identified the crop of behaviors we wish to grow, here is my financial gardening guide.

The hardest part of any endeavor is making the change stick. The adage is that it takes at least 21 days to make a new behavior a habit. The other thing that helps me is to remember the “why” of the change. I also don’t just give something up but instead substitute an alternative that helps me reach my goals.

Identify habits that need to be replaced. Do you know what behaviors are keeping you from reaching your goals?

Keep a record — you do what gets measured or tracked.

Write down what you spend. A written record helps by keeping you accountable and will help you identify spending patterns that may keep you from reaching your goals.

Jot purchases in a notebook or journal or find software to help.

Identify the habit triggers. A habit trigger is what happens immediately before the habit and causes an urge to do the habit. A non-financial example is someone who

only smokes when they drink.

What makes you want to spend money or overspend?

When you notice yourself doing these habits, what happened just before it? Do you shop recreationally with a friend or family member and end up with items you didn’t intend to purchase or don’t really need?

Identify positive habits to replace negative habits. Once you have identified a habit you would like to change and know your habit triggers, determine what action you want to take instead.

For example if you make impulse purchases, start a “30day list.” Add items to that, and if at the end of 30 days you still want the item, make a special trip to buy it.

Small steps Work on changing only one habit at a time. It is tempting to try to change everything at once: “I want it all better, and I want it all better now.” The reality is that making changes takes effort in the beginning. It is hard to concentrate on making multiple changes at the same time.

Start small. I look for quick hits, things I know I will be able to change and that will make a big immediate impact.

I used to stop at McDonald’s for breakfast several times a week. I now eat at home or bring something to heat up at work. That translated into an easy $5 to $15 per week.

good financial habits, Part 2 Many of us don’t save because we don’t have any room in the budget. Doing an automatic savings withdrawal for $10 or $25 a week will get the process started and can be incrementally increased over time.

Create an environment where it is easy to succeed. Use checklists, Post-it notes or other means to help you remember to do a specific task.

Simplify the process It is also important to put your finances on auto pilot.

I hate balancing my checkbook. I started using Quicken, and now my transactions are automatically downloaded into the program. It is much easier to track spending and keep my checkbook up to date.

After my second child was born, I had trouble getting bills paid on time. I set up automatic withdrawals from my checking account or had accounts billed to one of my credit cards.

The only bills I struggle with now are the ones where I have to find my checkbook, a stamp and an envelope or start an online banking session. I have also set up automatic withdrawals to put money into goal-specific accounts, like retirement or 529s.

Another example is making the non-spending choice the default. To reduce the temptation to use your credit cards,

June 2011 • she magazine

try putting them in a drawer or hard-to-reach place and only take them out for planned purchases.

Make a public commitment and enlist support. Find an online support group, post on Facebook or just tell a friend.

Issue a challenge to a group of friends. Another option is to start a money club (www.moneyclubs.com). It builds in support and accountability with others interested in making positive changes.

Support networks are also important in helping you through the rough spots. There will be times when you don’t think you are making progress or it is too hard. A good support network will help you see how far you have come and remind you of your “why.”

Celebrate your success. You will fall down and have to start over again. Look at when you’ve been successful and plan non-financial rewards for reaching your goals.

Also remember why you are making changes. Look for changes that enable you to use your resources to support your beliefs and values.

Practicing healthy lifestyle helps manage symptoms of fibromyalgia

By Kathy Jackson Fibromyalgia is an often unrecognized chronic pain disorder that may cause widespread symptoms like muscle pain, tiredness, sleep disturbances, memory difficulties and depression.

Although it may affect any age group, fibromyalgia occurs more often in women than men and more often in middle age. Those with a rheumatic disease like osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis or anklyosing spondylitis have a slighter higher incidence of developing fibromyalgia as well.

Scientists think that some people carry certain genes that make them more likely to develop fibromyalgia, but that’s not the only reason. Something triggers the disorder. Possible triggers include spine disorders, arthritis,

trauma and other types of physical stressors.

Emotional factors such as stress may also serve as triggers for the disease. The outcome is that the way the body talks about pain with the brain and spinal cord is different. Pain awareness is turned up “too high” in the area of the brain that processes pain.

How do you know if you have fibromyalgia?

Many times a diagnosis can be made based upon your symptoms. There is no test like an X-ray or blood test for fibromyalgia. Therefore, the American College of Rheumatology suggests looking for a person’s reports of widespread pain in all areas of the body for at least three months.

P a g e 34 SHE m a g a z i n e • J u n e 2 0 1 1

Plus, the doctor will look for pain in at least 11 of 18 “tender points” when pressure is applied. These points are located on the neck, around the collarbone, inside the knees and elbows and on the hips as well as numerous areas on the back.

Expect your doctor to also ask about the presence of other pain conditions that often occur in people with fibromyalgia, such as severe headaches, temporomandibular disorder (TMJ), irritable bowel syndrome, heartburn, irritable bladder and pelvic pain syndromes.

You can survive and even thrive with this chronic pain condition. Take control by learning to manage your pain, regularly exercising, sleeping well and knowing about your condition.

There are many ways to relieve the pain of fibromyalgia. Several pills are approved to treat the pain.

Some alter the way the brain processes pain or work on chemicals found in the brain. Others help you sleep and also treat pain. Traditional narcotic pain medications (codeine, morphine, Percocet, Lortab) are not helpful. In fact, they may cause an increase

June 2011 • she magazine

in pain sensitivity.

You may find lasting pain relief with exercise such as routine walking, yoga, stretching and therapeutic massage.

While it may be painful at first, routine exercise is a proven way to reduce pain and help with restful sleep. Start slowly and don’t give up. Schedule time each day to relax. Prayer, reading, deep breathing or meditation can reduce the stress that triggers symptoms.

Also, try to go to bed and wake up at the same time each day. Avoid daytime napping, caffeine and nicotine, which cause nighttime wakefulness.

Finally, get smart about your condition. Resources like the National Fibromyalgia Association can help you survive and thrive.

Landscape logic As the strawberry harvest winds down, now is the time to make plans for next year’s crop. A well-maintained strawberry planting can remain productive for at least 10 years. To keep diseases under control, the current year’s leaves need to be removed.

Plants need to be thinned out to allow for adequate growth of next year’s berries. A rule of thumb is to thin plants to one every 6 to 8 inches apart. The older plants should be removed, and the younger, more vigorous ones should be kept.

Apply three to four pounds of 12-12-12 fertilizer per 100 feet of row. Hand-pulling

and shallow cultivation at this time of year will take care of weed problems. The planting will need to be weeded and watered throughout the rest of the growing season.

Mid- to late August is when next year’s crop begins developing, so this is a critical time to keep the plants healthy. Your efforts at this time of year should be rewarded next spring with a great crop of strawberries.

Beauty bits Got frizzy hair? Then you know humid summer days aren’t your friend. Here are some tips for keeping those locks under wraps.

• Use sulfate-free shampoo; it’s gentler on hair, allowing it to retain more natural oils.

• Deep condition after every shampoo.

• Comb or massage in a curl serum to pro-

tect your locks and help them retain shape.

• Never rub your hair dry with a towel; instead squeeze it dry and then use a blow dryer with a diffuser, holding the hair in a crimping motion that helps return the curl.
