CAPE CORAL OFFICE 2336 Surfside Blvd., Suite 121, Cape Coral • Mon. - Fri. 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to everyone! This is my absolute favorite time of year! I love all the decorations, cooking and baking, crafts and family time. I don’t even mind the crowds in the stores….too much. It’s great to see strangers greeting each other with good holiday wishes.

This time of year always makes me look back and remember those we have lost, as well as family and friends who could not be with us to celebrate the holidays. We were fortunate to have some friends join us for Thanksgiving this year and it was such a pleasure. If you, like me, are cooking this Christmas, it’s easy to add a few extra place settings to the table. Add an extra potato to the pot, an extra batch of cookies to the table, and consider opening up your home by inviting someone who is alone this holiday season. The joy you feel will be contagious.

And with New Year’s Eve right around the corner, remember to be safe this holiday season.

Always have a designated driver, or call a car service to take you home. Many times AAA even offers free towing and a drive home for those who need it this time of year. Let’s all be safe so that we can enjoy 2017 and make it a great year.

If you are looking for something to do in the new year, grow your career or a way to make a little extra money, we are always looking for people to join our staff. Writers, sales people, social media gurus, we are looking to build our team of Cape residents working together to the benefit of Cape Coral.

Merry Christmas!

See you around The Cape!

A Wonderful Time of the Year!

Submitted by Cape Coral resident Dennis Gingerich

It’s a wonderful time of the year! It’s the holiday season. The music is playing. The days are cooler. The holiday decoration section in every store is packed full. Residents in Cape Coral are putting up lights and seasonal décor. Depending on your ethnic, cultural and religious heritage, you may be celebrating one of three holidays this time of year – Christmas, Hanukkah or Kwanzaa.

Kwanzaa is the newest holiday celebration. It’s a week-long celebration held in the United States and Canada that honors African-American heritage and culture observed December 26 to January 1 each year. The name Kwanzaa comes from a Swahili phrase meaning “first fruits of the harvest.”

Kwanzaa is dedicated to seven principles of African heritage: Unity,

Self-Determination, Collective Work and Responsibility, Cooperative Economics, Purpose, Creativity and Faith. Families celebrating Kwanzaa decorate their households with objects of colorful African art and fresh fruit. Candle-lighting, music, artistic performance, a feast and gift-giving of heritage symbols are components of the Kwanzaa celebration. To explore more, you can go to www.officialkwanzaawebsite.org.

Hanukkah is the oldest holiday celebration. Also known as the Festival of Lights, this Jewish holiday started in 165 BC. Since this celebration is based on the Hebrew calendar, it may occur at any time from late November to late December. This year, Hanukkah is December 24 through January 1.

The Festival of Lights is observed by sequentially lighting each of the nine-branched candelabrum, (Menorah) over the eight day period.

The ninth additional raised light branch is given a distinct location as an extra attendant light available to be used for other purposes.

Hanukkah is a family-based holiday celebrated in the home and synagogue. In addition to lighting the candles, story telling, reciting of Psalms, singing songs and sharing traditional foods such as potato pancakes is mixed with gift-giving for children and playing with the dreidel—a four-sided spinning top. To learn more, go to websites like www.jewfaq.org or inquire at a local synagogue.

Christmas is likely the most celebrated holiday of the three. The word literally means Christ’s Mass. It is an annual celebration of the birth of Jesus Christ, generally on December 25. In modern culture, it is an eclectic mix of both religious and cultural elements.

In Cape Coral and around the world, Christmas will be celebrated with decorated trees, elaborate light displays, nativity scenes, mistletoe, Santa Claus, reindeer, Christmas music and caroling. Because gift-giving is at the core of the celebration, the Christmas season is an economic engine for retailers and businesses. Of course, like the other holiday celebrations, there will be family gatherings, food galore, generosity toward the less fortunate and for some, very deep and meaningful worship of the baby that changed the world.

The common theme in all three traditions is gift-giving and taking time to connect with family and friends in an environment of celebration.

Whether you are Jewish, Christian or celebrating Kwanzaa, don’t miss out on the fulfillment of being generous or the delight of connecting with family and friends. Celebrate every chance you get. Reach out to your neighbors. Care for the less fortunate. Understand your heritage and culture better. And, make every effort to go deeper in your faith.

Glass Half Full – Holiday Wine Glass Gifts

Here we are at the beginning of the holiday season and, once again, we are tasked with gift giving dilemmas. Every year the question arises, “What should I get for the wine lovers in my life?” Picking up a few bottles of their favorite indulgences doesn’t seem heartfelt enough, and by now they undoubtedly have all the Rabbit corkscrews and pocket aerators they could ever possibly need. Alternatively, while every oenophile probably already has stemware, with so many sizes, shapes and types of wine glasses, there is bound to be something that will fill a niche in even the most extensive glassware collection.

The size and shape of a wine glass determines how much surface area of the wine is exposed to the air and subsequently how much of the aroma is released. They also control the temperature of the wine and the flow of the wine onto the tongue. A larger bowl increases the amount of wine exposed to the air, and therefore the amount of oxidation. This allows intense concentrated reds, especially those higher in tannins but more moderate in acidity, to breathe. So, if the giftee is a high-end Bordeaux fan or loves reserves from Rioja, a wine glass with an oversized bowl is optimal. Conversely, lighter bodied, more delicate white wines, particularly those with a higher acidity, will lose their fragrant aromas and warm too quickly when poured into a glass with a wide bowl. For those giftees, go with a taller, narrower selection. Additionally, oaked whites or those with more body and lower acidity, like a California Chardonnay, are best expressed in a glass with a medium sized bowl.

Further choices include whether the top of the wine glass’s bowl should be straight, tapered or flared. Straight bowls allow the aromas to escape to the nose unhindered and direct the wine to the mid palate upon entry into the mouth. This is sufficient for the vast majority of standard reds and whites. If, however, a wine has a more delicate bouquet, a tapered bowl will keep aromas in the glass longer to allow them to be enjoyed more thoroughly before dissipating. Aficionados of older vintage reds, as well as lighter reds such as Pinot Noirs, will appreciate a tapered bowl. Flared bowls are tapered bowls with the addition of directing the wine to the front palate of the mouth. This tones down the acidity while highlighting the fresh flavors of acidic wines and makes a perfect gift for those regularly indulging in elegant Burgundian Pinot Noirs or dry German Rieslings.

An important consideration when investing in stemware is whether or not to splurge for crystal. Crystal is essentially glass with added minerals, such as lead monoxide or zinc and magnesium oxide. The benefits of these additions create the characteristic sparkle and allow for the incredible thinness of the glass. Due to the fact that crystal stemware is luxurious and highly regarded, it is likely to be perceived as a good gift choice for one desiring to make a sincere or impressive gesture. However, before committing to crystal, it is wise to consider the receiver. Crystal glasses require diligence to keep them in good condition and they are likely to be a poor gift choice for folks who are not very fastidious. The minerals in crystal make the glasses porous, so wine left sitting in a crystal glass overnight or a lingering water spot can permanently stain the facade. Crystal must be hand washed immediately after use with a neutral soap and dried thoroughly with a specific type of cotton cloth known as a flour sack. The maintenance is a labor of love for those who are willing to take on the burden, so it is best to honestly consider the lifestyle of the receiver when choosing crystal or glass.

Lastly, the main purpose of the stem on a wine glass is to prevent the heat of the imbiber’s hand from warming the wine. Secondarily, it also allows the glass to be hung rather than stored on a flat shelf, thereby preventing stale air from building up inside the bowl. Hardcore connoisseurs may scoff, but stemless wine glasses are a good choice for more casual affairs and a nice addition to the stemware collection of folks who entertain frequently.

So, if you are searching for gifts for the wine lovers in your life this holiday season, consider giving them some specialized wine glasses perfectly designed for the particular wines they like to drink. It’s fun to taste the same wine from different types of glasses to compare and we can all make good use of a few more wine glasses!

FUN FACT: The world’s oldest person attributed her ripe old age (122) to a diet of olive oil, port wine and 1kg of chocolate per week.

• Ensure there is a working smoke alarm on each level of your home and practice fire escape plans with all family members and holiday guests.

“The holidays can quickly turn from joyful to tragic when a fire occurs,” says Andrea Schuch. “By taking simple precautions, the citizens of Cape Coral can stay safe and “Keep the Wreath Green” by avoiding potential fire hazards and making this time of year a healthy and happy one.”

7 CapeStyle Magazine | December 2016

The Cape Coral Fire Department’s “Keep the Wreath Green” fire safety campaign began on Tuesday, December 1. For the fourth year, Cape Coral firefighters have placed a wreath illuminated with green bulbs at Fire Station 4, located at 2007 Santa Barbara Boulevard. If a preventable fire such as cooking, smoking, space heaters, candles, etc. occurs between December 1 and January 1, one of the green bulbs will change to red. Last year the campaign saw a leap in community fire safety during the holidays. For the previous two years, the campaign ended with the wreath displaying five red bulbs, but last year ended with only one red bulb on the wreath!

While the goal is for there to be no red bulbs, we are happy to see fewer green bulbs turning red, indicating that the community is becoming more fire safety conscious during the holidays.

Though fire safety should be a year-round priority, particular precautions need to be taken during the holiday season, and the “Keep the Wreath Green” campaign serves as a reminder of this.

With the hectic holiday season, it is easy for families to become complacent about fire safety. “As everyone gets busier during the holidays, we often become rushed, distracted or tired,” says Fire Chief Donald Cochran. “That’s when home fires are more likely to occur.”

With the additional use of fireplaces, decorative lighting, live Christmas trees, and the burning of candles, the risk of fire in homes increases. Fortunately, with a little added awareness and some minor adjustments to holiday cooking and decorating, the season can remain festive and safe for everybody. “By taking some preventative steps and following simple rules of thumb, most home fires can be prevented,” says Andrea Schuch, Public Information Officer for the Cape Coral Fire Department.

To prevent these holiday fires and to help “Keep the Wreath Green,” the Cape Coral Fire Department offers these holiday safety tips: • Decorations: o Choose holiday decorations carefully, using only those made of flame-resistant, flame-retardant, or non-combustible materials. o Keep decorations away from heat sources. Of the fires that began with decorations, nearly half occurred due to the decoration’s proximity to a heat source. o Keep decorations away from windows and doors that might be needed as a means of escape.

• Candles: o Keep candles at least 12” away from decorations or other combustible materials. Two of every five home decoration fires are started by candles. o Never leave candles unattended. Extinguish them when you leave the room. o Use sturdy candle holders that won’t tip over.

• Lights: o Use only lights listed by an independent testing laboratory and pay close attention to the manufacturer’s instructions for use. o Closely inspect all holiday lighting before use to insure all wires, bulbs and connections are in a safe condition. Discard any lights with exposed wires, broken insulation, cracked or missing bulbs, or other defects. o Use clips, not nails, to hang lights so the cords do not become damaged. o Turn off all light strings and decorations before leaving home or going to bed.

• Christmas trees: o Before purchasing an artificial tree, be sure it is identified by the manufacturer as fire-retardant. o When choosing a live Christmas tree, look for signs of freshness by lightly pulling branches through your closed fist. Fresh trees should retain their needles during this test. o Have the tree lot operator provide a “fresh cut” by removing 1-2” from the base of the trunk. o Immediately place the tree in water and add water daily. Keep a close check on the dryness of the tree and remove the tree when needles easily fall off. o Make sure the tree is not blocking an exit and is at least three feet away from any heat source like fireplaces, space heaters, radiators, candles, heat vents or lights.

• Cooking: o Unattended cooking is the leading cause of U.S. home fires and home fire injuries. After Thanksgiving, Christmas Day and Christmas Eve are the peak days for home cooking fires. o When frying, grilling, or broiling, stay in the kitchen. Keep anything that can catch fire away from the stovetop and turn off the stove when you leave the kitchen, even if it’s for a short period of time. o When simmering, boiling, baking or roasting food, stay in the home and check on it frequently; use a timer as a reminder if necessary. o Create a “kid-free zone” of at least three feet around the stove and areas where hot food and drinks are prepared or carried.

• Smoking: o Ask smokers to smoke outside. o Provide them with large, deep ashtrays, and wet cigarette butts with water before discarding. o Keep matches and lighters up high, away from children.

Regular Portfolio Checkups Can Lead to Healthier Returns Article provided by Cape Coral Resident Rebecca Ross Quarterly reviews of stock and other investment performance are abundant

these days. Business newspapers such as The New York Times and Wall

Street Journal run quarterly rankings of performance against which investors can compare their holdings. While there’s nothing wrong with this approach

to determining how your portfolio stacks up, we have a few other suggestions that should be part of any investor’s regular portfolio maintenance.

Assuming you have a system for tracking your portfolio, start by taking a look

at performance for the most recent quarter. How did your stocks compare

to the Dow Jones Industrial Average or S&P 500? If you are heavily weighted

in mid-cap stocks traded on the

Nasdaq, compare your portfolio’s performance to the Nasdaq or Russell 2000

indexes. Note, though, that quarterly performance analysis is only one part

of an overall assessment. Don’t get overly excited when one of your holdings turned in a great quarter – you should take a longer look, especially if your goal is to build a long-term investment portfolio for you and your family.

Women often look at investment decisions differently than men and with good reason.

• Because of salary discrepancies, many women start the investment process with fewer investable assets than their male counterparts.

• Thanks to longer life spans, women often must find ways to make their assets last longer.

We recognize that women face unique challenges and bring a more tailored perspective to the financial planning and wealth management process.

Any good system for portfolio maintenance should include a number of

different measures that track different time periods – one quarter, six months,

one year, three years, and even five years or more, depending upon your goals.

You should use all available tools in conducting your portfolio maintenance.

Several websites provide stock charts that enable you to measure the performance of an individual stock with various averages over selected time

periods.

Next come some tougher decisions – when to sell, when to buy and when to

hold. Research and analysis are critical before you make any decisions about

buying or selling a particular holding.

Zoey

Meet Cape Kid Extraordinaire Submitted by proud mom Shawna Pike As a parent we all think our child is special. I want to take a moment and tell you about my special girl and the volunteer work she loves to do.

Zoey loves to volunteer. At the age of six there are not many opportunities available for her. This all

changed when she teamed up with her Papa. They decided they would run the bread and pastries department of the church’s food distribution center. This means every Friday night my daughter and my father go and collect bread and pastries that were unsold from a local grocery store after they

close. Then they take them back to the food pantry and get them ready for delivery. On Saturday, they go to a few local places and give back to those in need.

Besides volunteering her time, Zoey stays active in many other activities. She has been in

karate, dance, gymnastics, modeling and now is in to the world of pageantry. I know what

you are thinking, but it is far from the show “Toddler and Tiaras.” Zoey entered America’s

U.S. Miss because it is a system based on volunteer work and academics. Zoey’s first time

competing was in 2015 where she was the third runner up. She lost the competition, but she never lost

focus. She worked hard and competed again in 2016 where she won her first national title as America’s U.S. Ambassador Jr. Tween.

As for the academic side of the pageant, Zoey is an A/B student. She excels in math, science, and social

studies. She loves to go to school and is always waiting for the next challenge they can give her. Her true

love for school is in the AR program. She loves to read.

As a role model at age seven, Zoey has never stopped giving to others. She volunteers her time to help

at other local pageants. She was involved in the Memorial Day parade and even assisted in handing out

candy and bracelets at The Veteran’s Day parade. She will be continuing her services to the food pantry and ringing the bell for the Salvation Army.

Zoey certainly is an inspiration to other kids of all ages! Thank you Zoey for being such an

amazing Cape Kid with Style!

Walk In-Dance Out Submitted by Cape Coral resident Michele Faulkner

This season, would you like to begin an activity to not only help you get fit, but actually benefit your overall health, including your mind and spirit? If you did not have to travel very far, could have fun doing it, and also make new friends, would you try it? There's a lot of buzz about the benefits (and fun) that Ballroom Dancing offers, no matter what age you are.

There are both physical and mental benefits to ballroom dancing. Dancing is a weight bearing exercise, which means it forces you to work against gravity, and can be very good for bone health. Ballroom Dance students often find that their coordination, balance, strength, and endurance improve. Learning, practicing, and remembering dance steps and routines can help with mental focus and concentration, not just on the dance floor, but in other areas of our lives as well. These improvements often result in greater self - confidence and social ease, not to mention the pure joy that dancers experience gliding across the floor to a beautiful piece of music. Dancing makes you smile, lifts your spirits, and has been known to help with depression.

Are you ready to learn more or want to know how you can you get started dancing?

Cape Coral is home to “Y Not Dance,” an independent dance studio where students learn from owner, Nathan Maxwell.

Nathan is a professionally trained instructor, who has been teaching Ballroom Dancing for over 17 years. Recently, “Y Not Dance” celebrated its 2-year anniversary in The Cape, and it continues to grow by offering both individual and couples private and group lessons, plus a monthly dance party. Student “outings” allow dancers to get out to practice and show off what they have learned. Nathan also welcomes wedding couples to the studio, who would like to learn a routine to their chosen special song, aimed at creating a memorable first dance.

Students come to "Y Not Dance" from Cape Coral and surrounding areas, some as far as Naples. They come for all different reasons - to enhance what they already know and to become a more accomplished social dancer, to learn a new skill and boost self-confidence, while others have aspirations of dance competitions in the future. “The most important thing,” says Nathan, “is that students have fun while learning.” This philosophy, and Nathan’s emphasis on what you can do and not your limits, makes “Y Not Dance” a very unique dance studio and a great place for dancers of all levels to learn.

New students quickly realize that the hardest part was walking through the door. Once inside, they are immediately welcomed into the “Y Not Dance” family and a positive and encouraging environment.

Nathan has a true passion for both dance and teaching, while at the same time making it fun. Group classes are filled with laughter, but don't be fooled by Nathan’s lighthearted teaching style approach -students systematically learn and practice an incredible amount each week, moving forward with every step.

Students at "Y Not Dance" can choose to learn both the Latin and Smooth styles of dance, including East Coast Swing, Cha Cha, Salsa, Waltz, Hustle, Foxtrot, Rhumba and also challenge themselves to work on more advanced dances like the Tango, Viennese Waltz and Samba. Group classes might even include a little country line dancing to really get dancers warmed up.

Why not get out this season and have some fun? "Y Not Dance"? Contact Nathan Maxwell about new student specials and holiday gift certificates at (239) 265-2400. "Y Not Dance" is located in the Cape, at 1490 NE Pine Island Road, Unit 7, and welcomes students of all ages and dance levels.

Generally, if you ask those cardio hoppers what brings them to the treadmill, spin bike or elliptical, it's their desire to lose weight or, more accurately, fat. However, the strength lovers, by and large, have already hit their fat-loss goals.

After all, in one Journal of Sports Science and Medicine study, people who performed a simple 20-minute, high-intensity strength workout burned an average of 15 calories per minute – nearly twice as many as during a long run on the treadmill.

But, like I’ve said before, even if pure cardio isn't the ultimate way to lose weight, it does have its pros – from which even weight-room lovers can benefit. And, nestled between all of those people who notso-fondly refer to the treadmill as the "dreadmill," are people who legitimately love their cardio workouts. Long cardio sessions help them clear their heads or feel more powerful. Maybe they love to explore their cities on the trail. Maybe you're one of those cardioloving people.

So how do you make cardio work for your fat-loss goals? Take a lesson from the weight room. Here, experts share the lessons of strength training that can make your cardio routine a veritable fat-fighter.

One reason strength training is so great for fat loss is that it results in excess post-exercise oxygen consumption, aka EPOC. EPOC is the calories your body burns as it works to recover in the hours (and even days) after your sweat session.

But cardio can result in EPOC, too. You just have to raise the intensity.

Increasing exercise intensity from 50 to 75 percent of VO2 max [a measure of intensity] results in almost doubling of EPOC.

However, since it's physiologically impossible to do anything with your max effort for very long, it's important to crank the intensity in intervals.

There are tons of ways to do this. For instance, if you like to run on the trails, you can incorporate hills or even fartleks, in which you sprint, say, to the next mailbox, and then recover with a slower jog until you're ready for your next sprint. If you're on the elliptical, spin bike or stair climber, you can toy with both resistance and speed.

When performing intervals, remember that the longer your highintensity sprints, the longer your recovery intervals will need to be.

Ways to Burn More Fat With Cardio

One great high-intensity interval training, or HIIT, protocol is the Tabata, and it can be applied to any cardio workout. According to research published in Medicine & Science in Sports & Exercise, the protocol (which only takes four minutes) can burn more fat than a traditional steady state 60-minute aerobic workout. To complete a Tabata cardio workout, go at your max effort for 20 seconds, rest for 10 seconds and then repeat that circuit for a total of eight times. The trick is to really feel like you can't possibly work any harder during your high-intensity bouts. Before starting a max-intensity Tabata-style workout, talk to your doctor to make sure it's safe for your heart.

We worry a lot about form when it comes to strength training, which makes sense: You don't want your form breaking down when you have dumbbells over your face. But using correct form is just as important during cardio sessions, and not just because it can help keep you safe and injury-free. It can help you burn more calories with every bead of sweat.

Think about it: If you lean onto the handrails while using the stair climber or hang from them as you lean back to power walk up a hill on the treadmill, you are making things easier on yourself. Put another way, your body isn't working as hard or burning as many calories as it could be.

Remember, while intensity is a great way to increase caloric burn, if the intensity is so high than you can't complete it without shortcuts in your form and technique, your intensity is too high. Think form first.

When we build lean muscle mass, we increase our resting metabolic rate. That means we use more calories at rest. And while, depending on how you do it, cardio can actually lead to muscle loss, if you do it the right way, you can build muscle on your favorite cardio machine or on the trail.

A simple way is by increasing resistance. The harder your arms and/or legs have to work during every movement, the more opportunity you have to build lean, metabolically active muscle.

What's more, if you're a fan of cardio machines, a few tweaks to your exercise technique can completely change their muscle-building potential. For instance, to build upper-body strength, using only your arms to move the elliptical machine. On the treadmill, put it on a slow speed with a high incline and perform walking lunges in between running or walking intervals. Or, you can push through only one leg

Fun Fact: •If you're always in a bad mood, then getting fit just may help. Regular exercise

while on the elliptical or stationary bike.

Just pay minimal attention to the number of calories your machine says you're burning. Their calorie-counters are infamously inaccurate and might not accurately represent your fat-loss progress.

The more efficient you are at anything, the fewer calories you burn doing it. That's the beauty of exercise: Your body adapts. But it's also why most strength programs involve switching things up every four to six weeks.

To burn more calories, do something that you are not efficient at.

That doesn't mean that you have to give up your elliptical sessions, but what about trying that rowing machine one day per week? Or maybe it's time to hit up a cardio workout class that you've been eyeing? And, of course, if you're willing to change up speeds, incline and resistance, your tried-and-true elliptical can still challenge your body in new ways.

can enhance mood and overall well-being.

Christmas Charity with A Prayer...

Introducing Audrey McFalls And Oma’s Heart

Oma’s Heart Oma means “grandmother” in Dutch, so it’s no surprise that Oma’s Heart is named after Audrey’s mother, who loved her children and grandchildren unconditionally. “Every year,” she says, “my two daughters and I would go take a tag off of a Christmas tree and buy one gift for one child in need.” She realized that the child would a receive wonderful gift, but what about the mom? “How can we make it so the mom picks out gifts for her child instead of someone else choosing them?” She felt she could do something more, and once the idea was planted in her heart, Oma’s Heart came about.

The concept of Oma’s Heart is to supply parents with gifts for their children at Christmas, at no cost.

Oma’s Heart; they would recruit employees willing to volunteer their time, gather tools and wooden kits and design a Santa’s workshop for the kids.

The experience at Oma’s Heart is truly unique from other charity services. There is a dual registration process, one for the parents and one for the children. Following registration, the children then enter Santa’s workshop, while the parents are served some light refreshments, prayed with, and shop for toys. “Out of the 590 families that came to Oma’s Heart last year,” says Audrey, “only three chose not to be prayed with. Whether you call it a religious experience or not”, according to Audrey, “this is where they get to connect.” Parents are asked if they own a bible, if not, Oma’s Heart will supply one. They have bibles available in English and Spanish.

“At Oma’s Heart, it’s about Christmas and making families feel special.” Audrey says, “We don’t claim to have the all the answers, but it helps when you simply listen and show that you truly care.”

“The

“I presented the idea to various organizations many years ago,” she says, “but the idea was shot down.

One response was ‘There are so many services that are here on Christmas, you’d be just one of many.’” This unfortunately caused Audrey to table her idea. So several years later, when the economy took a nose dive, she realized her neighbors and friends were affected and took action. “I spoke with a few friends and we all agreed, ‘Let’s do it.’ By March 2011 we were incorporated; by September we were established as a 501(c)3, and we opened our doors for the first time in December.”

At the next part of the process, an Elf escorts the parents into the store where they get to pick out gifts that are age appropriate for their child(ren), then dropped off in an area where Oma’s Heart supplies all the necessary materials for the parents to wrap each gift. Then they load up their car and return to pick up their child(ren).

experience at Oma’s Heart is truly unique from other charity Finding Families When it comes to finding families in services. need, Audrey came to the conclusion

Oma’s Heart opened up at the Cape Coral Kiwanis on Santa Barbara Blvd and almost immediately “it was too small,” she recalled. Gifts for over 800 children went out the door during the first year. Audrey was amazed at how the whole system worked, how it was laid out, and all the volunteers who helped. “We thought it was so amazing, we decided to do it again. I went to God, ‘We did this for You. Did we do good?’ He inevitably always replies, ‘It was great, now make it better.’”

Oma’s Heart Grows After that first year, the store was moved to the North Fort Myers High School. They continued to create an environment where mom and dad would shop for toys and at the same time, create an experience for the entire family, different from anything that’s out there.

From the first year, Home Depot enthusiastically partnered with

that “who knows children the best – teachers.”

Audrey said “My daughter is a teacher, and she’s always telling me which family is doing fine and which family might need help.” She wasted no time in getting the Lee County School District involved and they were completely on board with her project. “We’ll give you whatever you want,” was their response.

Oma’s Heart has been successful at utilizing the school Social Workers to assist in finding the families that most need their service.

This year they are also seeking the help of Parent Involvement Specialists. Audrey will be meeting with Lee County School staff to train and give out all the needed paperwork. After all the information is collected, it goes to the district, where they will create a database. “This will prevent such things as mom collecting gifts at one school and dad collecting gifts from another school,” she said.

“What’s nice now is it’s turning out to be so much more than just gifts,” said Audrey. “We have seen so many positive things happen to families and even have some families come back to volunteer.

That full-circle is what it is all about.”

hristmas may only come once a year, but for Audrey McFalls this holiday remains at the center of her heart.

Ensuring that each family receives gifts for their children and is prayed with are the two most important parts of the celebration. She started Oma’s Heart in 2001 with the passion to give to families in need, and to pray with them over anything they may be experiencing in their lives.

The communities within Lee County come together for Oma’s Heart with toy drives and donations. Several schools have done toy drives, while many businesses have done various fund raisers as well.

The Name Oma & Coming From Holland Audrey recalled how her mother, Oma, dedicated her life to her five children. “She came over from Holland, leaving all of her family behind. She never worked outside the house, but took care of the family,” says Audrey. “If I can give myself any bit of credit for being a good mom, it’s because of her.

She was a great role model.”

It was an absolute given when Audrey had to come up with a name for her organization.

Knowing that her mother was all about children, it made sense to call it Oma’s Heart. “She was an amazing, Godly woman, and I just know she’s up there rooting for me.”

Audrey’s father was a cartographer and eventually they were sponsored by a church and left Holland and moved to Detroit. They later moved to Wisconsin, then Alabama, and finally settle in Tampa, Florida. His last position was with the Lee County Property Appraiser.

“The funny thing is,” Audrey recalled, “my father always said, ‘as soon as they make maps on a computer, I’m out!’ And I laugh about that because that’s now what I do; make maps on a computer.”

At one point in time all of Audrey's siblings had done some form of mapping. "While working for the County," she says, "I was able to learn some automated drafting and began to feel the bug." Although she couldn’t work for the Property Appraiser’s office while her father was employed there, since he would have been her supervisor. But not long after he retired and the position opened up, she decided to go for it. Twenty six years later you can still find her there.

Audrey was an infant when her family left Holland in 1961 and came to America. "My parents left all their family behind, with 5 kids and very little money. We came through Ellis Island, on our way to Detroit.

I could not ask for a better upbringing than I had with my parents and family." The things Audrey admires about her parents was their dedication to each other throughout their 49 years together, their decision to come to America, to become Americans, learn the language and culture, yet never losing their Dutch roots.

Audrey met her future husband during her first day on the job. She had a window view from her desk while working in the permit department.

That day she saw a guy on a bike ride past, then three days later, that same man came into her office. "He worked code enforcement for Lee County," she says. "He came up to me and asked me out for lunch." At the time Audrey says she was not ready to date, although she did have a feeling that she would one day marry this man. He asked her to lunch a second time - two years later! This time she agreed to the invite. "Less than a year later," according to Audrey, "we were married. Now it's twentyfive years later."

Living In Cape Coral When it comes to living in Cape Coral, Audrey likes the small town feel. “I like the parades, the farmer markets, and you don’t have leave Cape Coral if you don’t want to. We have everything here.”

Both of Audrey’s daughters live in the Cape. “It’s a great place to raise a family,” she says. “The schools are amazing. It's a great up and coming town."

Audrey and her husband have two daughters, Carly and Amanda.

Audrey speaks proudly of her two daughters and their

Breast Cancer Brings A Gift In 2012, Audrey was diagnosed with breast cancer. Her first chemo treatment was scheduled for the day after Thanksgiving, with the Oma's Heart event scheduled for the following week. "I thought, God how am I going to do this?" she said. "I panicked and hoped I could possibly change or postpone my chemo appointment." The day before Audrey's chemo treatment, she caught a cold and had to reschedule, but was instructed to avoid being around large groups of people, including the crowd at Oma's Heart.

"The event that year," says Audrey, "was held at the Grace Community Center, which happens to have a sound booth. I sat up in the booth and just observed the day. It was at that point I realized that Oma's Heart was not about me. It has nothing to do with me. That particular day was like a gift to me; the event ran perfect. I know now that Oma's Heart has everything to do with God for planting the idea, all the folks that volunteer and work so incredibly hard, and for the families that benefit from it."

Audrey did go through chemo treatments and today is cancer free today.

"It been an amazing journey," she says. "It's hard to believe that the first year we provided gifts for 800 children, and last year well over 2000."

Numerous people have said Audrey McFalls makes such a difference with the families in the community. She would be the first one to tell you that she is not the one that makes the difference, it's Oma's Heart that makes the difference.

Thank you, Audrey, for all the love and support that you and Oma’s Heart bring to the community!

accomplishments. "Carly works as a teacher at Tropic Isles Elementary School in North Fort Myers, while Amanda is an EKG Tech at Gulf Coast Hospital." Both girls serve on the Board of Directors for Oma's Heart. Amanda has a daughter, Lyla, who Audrey admits, "has my heart." Her hope is for one day to have her daughters take the reins of Oma's Heart.

There are differing studies regarding how much weight people gain on average during the holidays. Some studies estimate that the average weight gain is 10-15 pounds, while other surveys of people reveal a gain of about 5 pounds. The trouble, according to the New England Journal of Medicine, is that most people don’t ever lose the weight they gain, meaning that much of their midlife weight gain is attributable to holiday eating.

Emotional Eating and the Festive 15

snacks, more cheese and other high-fat appetizers, and generally more justification to eat whatever, whenever.

How did you do this past holiday season? Did you put on a few extra pounds with the promise that you’d do something about it in 2016?

Well that time has come, and below is a great tip on what you can do - as a first step - to assist with your weight loss and get off the roller coaster once and for all. Are you ready to commit? If so, read on.

A key ingredient is this: Figure out if you’re an emotional eater.

You can pick up any book or magazine and it will tell you at least 50 things you should do to lose weight; typically physical things such as restricting calories, measuring your food, exercising more, using

smaller plates, etc. Some of those tips may be helpful in the short term, but they don’t address a major factor for most people, and that is the issue of emotional eating. Emotional eating is when we turn to food for purposes other than nourishment or to satisfy hunger. We learn early on that food can provide “comfort” – and the foods we were given in times of sadness or in times of being rewarded were typically high-fat, highsugar junk foods. Sugar begins its addictive lure at our earliest birthday parties, Halloween, Easter, and really has become just about part of the daily fare. We also turn to food in times of stress as not only a source of comfort, but as a source of numbing pain or a source of distraction. Or we may just be eating blindly out of habit, unsure of why we eat when we’re not hungry.

For those who are already overweight, the holiday weight news is worse since they tend to gain even more during the holidays.

Thanksgiving through New Year’s Day can be deemed a ‘high risk’ time for the overweight - there’s more alcohol, more sweets, more

Where do you begin to address the problem of emotional eating? Just knowing that you are indeed an emotional eater is not enough to resolve the issue. A better understanding of any negative emotions, as well as the relationships and circumstances that trigger them, is key to being able to get past them. Let me share briefly about a man I know named Chef Del. He’s an internationally known Chef and the author of several best-selling cookbooks. He was put on a diet at the age of 8 and hence learned the art of secretive eating, binging and starving. After a lifetime of yo-yo dieting, he reached a breaking point at 500 pounds and decided to change his

23 CapeStyle Magazine | December 2016

relationship with food. He has lost over 200 pounds to date, and yet was recently questioning why he was struggling with the remaining weight. He realized that he was only getting PART of the equation right.

He knew the laws of nutrition, but they were not enough to overcome the reason for his binge eating in the first place. Some tips he offered in his recent article include these:

-Deal with the emotions that cause you binge and starve yourself. This is not just about having “happy thoughts” and it’s not divorcing yourself from family members and others; instead learn to reframe things, how to respond in a different way, and how to have a happier life experience even when surrounded by people who choose not to do this.

-The plan you make for the rest of your life must be put into practice every day.

Chef Del makes a resolution every morning to take care himself, emotionally, physically and mentally; to live life to the fullest and be a happy person.

-You can’t pick and choose the things you’ll do right. You must do the whole thing. Eat well, deal with your stress, exercise, stay hydrated, get plenty of rest, and follow his other tips in the article.

Chef Del offers a Permanent Weight Loss program at Wellness Forum Health and can be reached at sroufed@wellnessforum.com.

I have his permission to share this information and would encourage you to explore taking his course if you know you’re an emotional eater. Overcoming this basic hurdle will be the best thing you can do regarding your 2016 commitment to a better diet and better health. I’d be happy to help you with the food equation – no counting, dieting, measuring or supplements….just the right food. If you’d like to read Chef Del’s article in its entirety, please contact me through www.cydnotter.com and I’ll be happy to forward a copy to you. Happy New Year!

2 Frets Down It is fair to say that a lot of unique people live in here the Cape. Among them are many talented musicians of all sorts.

2 Frets Down is a local band that I recently heard playing at the Dixie Roadhouse in downtown Cape Coral. This four piece group has been together for five years and they play a variety of “Rock” music in the very best tradition—with no improvising. I especially liked their rendition of John Mayer’s 2006 song “I Don’t Trust Myself.” They then shifted easily into some of a Robert Johnson’s style blues with their version of Eric Clapton’s “Went Down to the Crossroads.”

Their lead guitarist, Robert Inkenbrandt, is originally from Evansville, IN. Four years ago he was appointed music director for Gulf Coast Village Assisted Living complex here in Cape Coral. Then, in 2014, he was made assistant minister there. He explained that he has been playing the guitar for some fifty years after learning on the banjo as a teen and playing in a family band. Did I mention that he also plays the keyboard?

Their bass player is Leah Inkenbrandt, Bob’s wife. She grew up in Huntington, WV. The couple lived in Nashville before moving down to the Cape. When asked why they moved here, Bob told me that there were just too many guitar pickers in Nashville, so he decided it was better to be a big fish in a little pond.

Inkenbrandt is a Viet Nam veteran with a family tradition in the military. His son and two daughters have served overseas. He is also involved in the ministry of Volunteers of America which has live streaming services every Sunday from Gulf Coast Village.

Rhythm guitar is played by Dr. Allan Major who moved here years ago from Somerset, MA. Major is an audiologist at our local Veteran’s Administration Healthcare Center. Dr. Major made sure I understood the credo of the band, which is “just having fun with music.” He also claimed to be the best looking of the lot, but I think Leah would disagree.

Steve Kurkimilis, their drummer, plays an awesome array of percussion on stage. He has all the toys a drummer could dream of. He hails from Smithtown, NY and is the building supervisor at Gulf Elementary School. Everyone in this band is a star vocalist.

As a group, they perform everywhere from stages like the one at the Dixie Roadhouse to private events such as weddings and anniversary parties. The amazing uniqueness of this band is their sincere desire to help people through a multitude of charitable causes. They donate much of their time trying to make our community better through their music.

I always like to ask musicians about something unusual that has happened to them as a group that I can share with readers. Allan laughed, then told me one time that the band felt sure that they had “gotten a pink slip from God.” He explained that they were recently asked to play at a church outreach program. After setting up all their equipment on stage, the event director told them that they could leave because no one showed up.

They were sent to another venue at a large assisted living facility where, once again, no one showed up and they were asked to go. Allan said, “Being ignored once was bad enough for a musician, but twice in one day was cruel.”

4 Frets Down is a great band, in my opinion, and is worth the time to go see them perform. These talented musicians tell me that they can be followed on Facebook. Allan also commented that they have a fairly open schedule so contact them if you are in need of some great entertainment. www.facebook.com/groups/471021936420218/

Green Decorating

The holidays just would not be the same without festive lights, but why not save both money and energy this season? LED light strings are more energy efficient, using only about 20% of the electricity required for standard ones and lasting years longer. Or consider setting a timer for the holiday lights and decorations so they run for 30 or 60 minutes less each day. These energy savings will add up quickly.

Recycle Your Tree

When the lights and ornaments are packed away until next year, if you bought a live Christmas tree this year be sure to recycle it. Trees can be used for mulch and to help prevent sand erosion on beaches. If there is not a Christmas tree recycling program in your community, visit to find the nearest recycling center.

Serving Holiday Guests

Are the holidays your favorite time of year to cook and bake ‌ or to eat?

Keep in mind when shopping for holiday gatherings that although plastic plates and utensils may look festive, they are general not recyclable. Whenever possible, use real dishes and utensils instead of throwaways.

And go ahead, run your dishwasher. It actually uses less water than handwashing dishes.

Holiday Shopping

Plastic shopping bags are harmful to the environment, so consider using ecofriendly bags not only at the holidays but all year long. Recycle bags are available at most retailers for under $1, come in many sizes and colors, and last for years.

Bruce Tuckman, a psychologist who provided us with an understanding of the five team-building stages, which are forming, norming, storming, performing and adjourning, explains that all teams go through these stages with varying levels of intensity.

Forming is defined as where the team being formed learns about their task and operation parameters while beginning to develop interpersonal behaviors.

The storming stage is where dissonance and intergroup conflicts among the groups as they jockey to retain their individualism and control. The norming stage is when group members start to accept each other and build interpersonal in-group parity. The performing stage is where group members operate on all cylinders by working together solving problems and creating solutions that take them to task completion. The adjourning stage is defined as where the task(s) is completed and the team dissolves their in-group activities, which can be emotionally difficult for team members.

However, if a team has a continuous or long-term assignment, they may suffer from team dysfunction at any time, even if they are in the performing stage.

Writer and business consultant Patrick Lencioni’s The Five Dysfunctions of a Team does a good job of explaining the challenges that teams face. So, how does one identify team dysfunction and the degree to which a team is out of sync?

Lencioni provides five insightful questions to identify team dysfunction and its level of intensity: 1. Do team members openly and readily disclose their opinions?

2. Are team members compelling and productive?

3. Does the team come to decisions quickly and avoid getting bogged down by consensus?

4. Do team members confront one another about their shortcomings?

5. Do team members sacrifice their own interest for the good of the team?

The premise is that a highly effective team should be able to answer “yes’ to all of these questions. For example, in questions number 1 and number 4, if ‘yes’ was the answer, one might conclude these are components for high performing teams. If team members answered ‘yes’ to questions 2 and 3, then that would suggest that team members perceive their team as high performing. Lastly, with question 5, we might conclude that a team

responding with ‘yes’ here might be led by either a transformational leader, who develops team members who place the needs of the organization before their own, or a servant leader, who by example places his or her follower’s needs before their own. Answers of “no’ indicate issues that can further degrade the team’s ability to function effectively.

Patrick Lencioni lays out the five dysfunctions as the following 1. Absence of trust – suggests that team members are not at ease sharing their vulnerabilities, or owning up to shortcomings and mistakes, or they perceive that asking for assistance would be comprehended as weakness.

2. Fear of conflict – suggests that team members are reticent to engage in discourse, perceiving all dissonance as destructive and not constructive. Their perception does not allow an environment of emotional intelligence in regards to openness.

3. Lack of commitment – suggests team members struggle to engage in effective and efficient decision-making, which in turn creates an environment of ambiguity. As we know, people and cultures have various tolerances for ambiguity, which, when their cup is full, may drive them to be disgruntled and unfulfilled. This mental state negatively influences the need for achievement.

4. Avoidance of accountability – suggests that team members become complacent and individualistic when the team suffers from an evasion of culpability. The avoidance therefore inhibits productivity as members fail to fully engage.

5. Inattention to results – suggests this is where team members are no longer an effective team where each members’ individual needs become greater than the needs of the whole. This then fosters burnout where team members feel unappreciated, out-of-balance, and out-of-control.

High-performing teams require mutual trust and respect between its members. High-performing teams must have shared goals, be willing to learn from each other, and be disciplined to self-monitor their team’s performance.

Y

ou’ve heard the saying “It’s always the quiet ones.” You just never know where someone has been, what they feel, or what they have cooking in their soul. I’ve done my share of pre-judging people based on obvious tells, and I’ve had my share of surprises.

My wife and I often travel to a quiet place in northern Georgia for long weekend getaways. On our route is a golf ball driving range, one that we have passed by dozens of times. Last year, as we were passing by, I decided to stop for a few swings to show my wife how bad I really was at golf. My interest was that you hit the balls into a lake with floating targets. Being someone that has not hit too many golf balls, I bought a bucket of fifty for each of us and started swinging.

Much to my surprise, most of them actually hit the water.

When you make solid contact you can feel it in the club, and about six out of the fifty had the kind of contact that sent that little white ball past the 200 yard buoy. As I returned the club, I couldn’t help but wonder if anyone saw those few that really sailed. If those were the only ones they saw, they may have thought I was the course pro.

We all “do” something. I’m a thinker. I could watch a squirrel sit on a branch for fifteen seconds and somehow mesmerize people with an interesting ninety minute presentation about what I saw from the squirrel’s perspective. When I looked at the buckets of balls in the rental shop, I thought about being able to predict which ones were going to ride through the air across the lake, and which were destined to have a boring time with me. If I had poured out the fifty balls onto the turf prior to hitting them, there would have been no way for me to identify which of the six were going to be the ones that passed the two hundred yard mark.

People that go out and do great things are not always the loud or aggressive ones. They often do not have a special degree or an impressive resume. With or without a degree, they’re most likely the ones that were driven by an inner passion to win, the ones with determination. They’re the ones that are goal driven and have an inspirational attitude.

I’ve met a lot of people that waited until much later in life to break out of their quiet habits and pour their passion into something they’ve always dreamed about. I love talking about their story because I’m interested in what pushed them off the fence. Ray Kroc, for example, was 59 when he first had a vision for what we now know as the McDonald’s franchise.

We often judge people by what we think we see on the surface. In a management position, we may consider an applicant with a great family history and educational background, while ignoring one that was abandoned at birth with a history of quitting school. The “school quitter” seems to be judged on it for life, yet that was the resume of Steve Jobs.

previous rejections.

Consider not knowing what is in a person’s soul the next time you think you can identify who will exceed your expectations. Sometimes it’s timing, sometimes it’s a fear of success, and some people hide their desires because of

I couldn’t have picked out the six golf balls that took flight BEFORE I started swinging, and you’ll never pick out the kid that’s going to cure cancer. A lot of people with an impressive resume end up in the Mike Scott Bed & Breakfast, so learn to measure someone by their passion, not their past.

Diabetes and Your Skin

CapeStyle Magazine | December 2016

32

Diabetes is a disease that affects a person’s blood sugars. This is due either to the body not producing enough insulin, or ineffectively using the insulin

to help clear the sugars from the bloodstream. Diabetes can affect a person’s

entire body if not controlled well with diet and/or medications. The American Diabetes Association states, “As many as 1/3 of people with

diabetes will have a skin disorder caused or affected by diabetes at some

time in their lives.”

People with diabetes often have dry skin due increased blood glucose (sugar)

levels. Dry skin can lead to itching and scratching of the areas and increase

risk of infection. It is important for diabetics to keep their skin moisturized daily with a gentle moisturizer.

Diabetes also significantly increases a person’s risk of bacterial and fungal

infections, and slows wound healing. High blood sugars over time can lower

a person’s immunity and can also affect the blood vessels necessary for healing

wounds. If there are any areas where the skin is open due to injury, surgery,

or compromised circulation, it is important to follow up with a health care

provider immediately.

There are other rare skin disorders associated with diabetes, such as Necrobiosis Lipoidica Diabeticorum, Bullosis Diabeticorum and Eruptive

Our Cover Artist

Mark Herron

MR Herron (not to be confused with Mother Goose) is an author and commercial illustrator. For 35 years, he’s lent his advertising skills to clients like McDonald’s, Wendy’s, several best-selling authors and Delta Airline's magazine Fantastic Flyer. His experience runs the gamut from decorating Happy Meal boxes to outside-the-box children’s books. He also likes to keep his thumb on political and social issues.

His political ‘toons’ are a feature of national radio talk show host Rusty Humphries, while his editorial illustrations enhance the words of Rush Limbaugh in his infamous Limbaugh Letter.

I suppose it’s safe to say Herron’s quirky sense of humor evolved from his many Huck Finn-type adventures as a child growing up in Mississippi, to hitchhiking cross-country just to see which method of getting rides worked better, thumb or sign. In 1977, he moved to St. Thomas, where he was employed as first mate for a local charter captain. The daily voyages provided the perfect opportunity to collect odd stories from tourists and colorful seafaring yarns from local sailors. Eventually, Herron found himself in Hotlanta, where he took a job in an illustration sweatshop that catered to large national companies.

There he honed his skills, learning to emulate different artistic styles, as well as the harsh discipline of crunch deadlines and frequent all-nighters. On the side, he designed packaging for worldwide companies like Brainy Baby and created the lovable OrganWise Guys characters that teach kids good eating habits and how to live healthy lifestyles.

MR (Mark Robert, if you were wondering) just moved to Cape Coral from Atlanta in July, but has hit the ground running, while wholeheartedly embracing our little community. His art is featured on the cover of our magazine this month, and we plan to unveil his “Guide to the Heart of Cape Coral” cartoon map next month! He’s currently working to raise awareness for the new Cape Coral Animal Shelter with a cartoon series he calls “FurBalls,” while simultaneously developing “The Snowbirds,” a somewhat surreal look at those like himself who have migrated to our sunny shores and are ‘Living the Dream’ in this Floridian paradise.

As he moves onto this next chapter of his life, Herron is looking for even more ways to bring smiles, and chuckles to folks. Not unlike the big band leader Glen Miller, who sought “his sound,” Herron seeks a new style… dare we say, his Cape Style.

His art can be seen at Frame Gallery & Gifts on Del Prado Blvd and at Lorne's Gallery at Tarpon Point Marina.
