Welcomes...

Shadi Haddadin, M.D. JCMG Oncology / Hematology

Shadi Haddadin, M.D.

Dr. Haddadin comes highly recommended from Columbia, Missouri where he served as supervisor of Hematology and Medical Oncology at the Harry S. Truman Memorial Veterans Hospital. In 2012, he was awarded medical staff member of the year. He was also Clinical Assistant Professor of Medicine at the University of Missouri–Columbia. Dr. Haddadin has written online book chapters for Oncologic Emergencies each year since 2009. He has also written book chapters for the fifth edition of The Chemotherapy Source regarding Gastrointestinal Cancer, Chemotherapeutic Agents and Chemotherapy Regimens. In addition, he has given numerous presentations on a variety of oncology topics at professional conferences.

Dr. Haddadin is extremely interested in clinical research and has been the primary investigator in a number of studies sponsored by Cancer and Leukemia Group B, and ALLIANCE for Clinical Trials in Oncology.

Dr. Haddadin completed both his residency training in Internal Medicine, and fellowship training in Hematology & Medical Oncology at the University of Missouri-Columbia. In addition to being board-certified in internal medicine, hematology and medical oncology, Dr. Haddadin is an active member of the American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) and the American Society of Hematology (ASH).

Dr. Haddadin said that joining JCMG was an easy decision. “I was so impressed by the interprofessional interactions within the group, the collegiality between the physicians who practice there, and the excellent nursing focused on supporting the patients. There are currently advances in oncology like no other time in history, and JCMG is the ideal place to coordinate comprehensive oncologic care with all the specialists available under one roof. I believe in offering patients all their options and tailoring the best treatment for them - a personalized healthcare plan. I’m looking forward to joining a group of physicians who are collaborating to provide superior quality of healthcare in a community that has been so welcoming to me and my family.”

publisher's note

O

Family Business

Over the past 50 years that I have lived in Jefferson City, I have come to realize that the success of our beautiful river city comes down to the families and family-run businesses that chose to build their lives here. Just take a few minutes and think about whom you do business with: Who is your accountant; your financial adviser; where do you purchase your glasses, office equipment, lumber, ice cream, Coca-Cola, concrete, greeting cards, shoes, women’s clothing? The list goes on and on. Most of the locally owned businesses in Jefferson City are run by not first-generation but by second-, third- or even sixth-generation families. These families and their businesses are the fabric of Jefferson City, and I want to say thank you for your dedication and commitment. It is this type of work ethic and consistency that allow Jefferson City to prosper through the years.

In 2015, City Magazine will feature several family-owned businesses that span generations. We will show how these businesses shape lives and serve our community in so many ways. On page 71, read about three generations working together at Nicklas Financial. Brooks Nicklas started the company in 1978 and is now 90 years old. What pleasure he must feel in witnessing his children and now grandchildren continuing the growth of a company he started way back when. The hard work, spanning three generations, is truly a success story. As you choose whom you do business with in 2015, remember these families and the commitments they made throughout generations, and chose local!

More Lessons

Someone once told me that when the student is ready, the teacher will appear. This topic of health and wellness has had a lot to teach me. Shortly after assigning stories for this issue, my husband had a sudden heart attack during a weekend coffee outing with friends.

The signs were not what we expected. He became hot then cold, started sweating profusely and felt dizzy.

Althougth he had indigestion the night before, he experienced no sudden chest or arm pain. We thought it was probably the flu. He is just 48 years old, not on medication, never been hospitalized. We kept thinking it must be a virus. Fortunately, we arrived at the emergency room in time for doctors to determine he was indeed having a heart attack. In shock, I stood by as an expert medical team sprung to action within minutes of our arrival and saved his life. We learned he had two blocked arteries, and if he had gone another 15 to 20 minutes without intervention, he would not have survived. This same team, on another day, willingly raced back to the hospital during the wee hours of the morning to perform yet another procedure when test results were not positive. Their concern for my husband was foremost. Any fatigue they must have been feeling was never evident. Gratitude to Dr. Walter Coats and the entire SSM St. Mary’s team cannot be expressed enough. They became like instant family to us.

Luckily my husband is recovering well and is rethinking many things in life including diet, exercise and stress levels. Our family is beyond thankful his life was spared.

As you read through this issue packed full of advice and tips from the experts on heath and wellness, I challenge you to reevaluate changes you might make to better your well-being. Remember, prevention is key, so eat your daily dose of colorful vegetables and fruits, and stick with chicken, fish and lean meats. Get regular checkups. Make sure you get some type of movement every day. Your life depends on it!

Peace,

Contrasting light and dark granite countertops add interest. Aaron “Sweets” Bax, from Craftmaster Cabinets, created the custom cabinets and is now “part of the family,” according to Cheryl.

“We looked at this house as a long-term re-

treat for our blended family of four children,” Cheryl says. “Jordan, our youngest, is the only one still at home, and she pulled us out here.

She loves horses and the outdoors. She even lived with my sister for two years while we built so she could start school in the district.

It is a relief to finally be under one roof together. It is familiar to me because I grew up in this community.”

Moving from Jefferson City to a more woodsy setting brought about certain adjustments. When issues arise, Tony reminds the family: “Welcome to the country.”

Living room: Overlooking the lovely 20-acre wooded property is the living room, complete with beautiful high-arching ceilings and a fireplace. Massive windows allow natural light from the outside to enter into the room; it’s the perfect spot to curl up with the family dog and a cup of cocoa on a snowy winter’s day.

Entrance: Inviting double doors provide a welcoming entrance each time family and guests step inside.

“Our first night I heard the coyotes and ran to make sure Max and Mattie [our two small dogs] were inside,” Cheryl says. “I’ve also learned to be extra alert while driving to work in the morning and home at night because there are so many deer.

“At times it feels like I am in a video game dodging deer,” she jokes.

“The well water was a challenge at first because it had a strong sulfur smell, like rotten eggs, and it overpowered us every time we took a shower or ran water,” Cheryl says. “At one point Jordan dared me to race her to the Jefferson City Magazine | 37

When it came to decorating and selecting colors, Cheryl enlisted the help of good friend and interior designer Casey Anderson-Marsch from Mid-City Lumber.

“Casey and I are great friends, and when we decided to build, I enlisted her help,” Cheryl says. “It was an easy process working together. I told her I wanted a rustic yet classic feel. I like things that will not go out of style. She also helped me decide what to keep from our former house and what to replace.”

Anderson-Marsch says Cheryl was one of the easiest clients ever. “She had a vision, and we pretty much agreed on most everything,” Jefferson City Magazine | 39

she says. “Cheryl wanted colors that would not show dirt throughout, and we put a high gloss on the hardwood floors for better wear.

Her home is livable, warm and inviting, which is how Cheryl makes people feel.

“Working with Cheryl was so much fun that I sometimes tell her I would like to tear down the house and start over,” AndersonMarsch adds.

“The windows are my favorite,” Cheryl says. “Tony drew how he wanted them on a napkin, found an example on the Internet, and we took our ideas to the design group at Mid-City Lumber. We could not be happier with the outcome. We love the openness that is roomy to the point we never feel cramped.

All ages enjoy being here. Our children, nieces and nephews hang out, and they do en-

Get Organized!

Find peace and contentment by taking control of your space and belongings.

N

B y L a u r en S a b l e F r e i m a n

The most basic organizational principles apply to closets: storing similar items together, having a place for everything and putting everything in its designated space. The most functional closet will have adequate hanging space, and most of that space will be for double hanging. A minimal amount of space should be allotted for longer hanging items such as dresses and coats. While maximizing the amount of hanging space, Heyer cautions homeowners not to ignore the versatility and functionality of shelving. Storing frequently used items on shelves between shoulder and

knee height keeps them in sight and easily accessible. Higher, harder-to-reach areas are perfectly suited for out-of-season or less frequently used items.

“A good closet design balances hanging and shelf space needs efficiently and effectively,” she says. “A good basic closet design helps with organization by providing an appropriate place for everything.”

Once a closet has an efficient design, Heyer says additional features can add even more

“

“The longer you delay dealing with clutter or accumulation, the more draining it becomes as you dread the decision of what to do with it all.”

— Charlette Heyer

function and ease to the space. Things such as drawers, baskets, belt and tie racks and telescoping rods are common and useful additions. Other higher-end upgrades include convenience items such as a built-in ironing board, pull-down wardrobe rails, slide-out pant racks and a three-way mirror or aesthetically pleasing finishes such as glass doors or crown molding.

Not sure where to hang that new sweater, how to separate clothes for different seasons or how to display frequently worn shoes in the closet? “They are not uncommon problems,” says Charlette Heyer, owner of Organize that Space.

“But they are a recipe for a chaotic closet.”

According to Heyer, disorganization happens gradually over an extended period of time, and it is often the result of delayed decision-making.

“The longer you delay dealing with clutter or accumulation, the more draining it becomes as you dread the decision of what to do with it all,” she says. “An organizational plan puts you back into the driver’s seat and allows you to regain control of your space and belongings.”

As a professional closet designer, Heyer has the knowhow to maximize space in a way that is both aesthetically pleasing as well as highly functional. From large closets ripe with options to even the smallest of closets, all can benefit from space organization. In fact, Heyer says small closets require an excellent use of space and organization.

“In most cases, a professional closet designer can turn your wish list into a can-do list, providing you with a pleasant place to begin and end your day,” she says.

Although a basic reach-in closet can cost anywhere from $450 to $1,000, and a basic walkin closet can range from $550 to $2,500, Heyer says that such an investment means more than being able to easily locate that favorite sweater or pair of jeans.

“An organized space brings a quiet calmness, which can permeate into other areas of life, providing a peaceful yet confident enjoyment of the home and life,” she says. JC Jefferson City Magazine | 43

Closet Tips and Trends For children: Children’s closets can

be the trickiest to design because kids can reach only a limited amount of space. Adjustable rods and shelves provide more reachable space and can be raised as the child and the size of his or her clothing grow.

Items that are out-of-season or not used frequently can be stored in the upper part of the closet, out of reach and out of the way.

For adults: In a closet with double hanging rods, hang pants on the top rod and jackets on the lower rod, which provides better lighting and helps make the closet feel roomier.

Installing shelves above a lower rod instead of underneath a rod also gives the illusion of a more spacious closet.

Keep the floor as clear as possible to provide easy access to items. A clear floor also helps to avoid clutter and disorganization. JC

Healthy Outlook

Jumpstart your nutrition for the New Year.

W B y He a t h e r S h i e l d s

We bid farewell to the holiday season’s food-filled gatherings and homebaked gifts, and now the desire for new beginnings beckons us. For many, turning over a calendar year is also a good time to make positive lifestyle changes. The most common New Year’s resolution is to live a healthier lifestyle. Unfortunately, unrealistic goals and the inability to maintain changes that may be too drastic can lead to a breakdown of motivation and failed resolutions.

During the excitement of setting new goals, it’s important to start slow so new habits can be firmly established with a better chance for longterm success. We asked a couple of health store owners to recommend their favorite products to help boost energy and mood so you may have increased chances of achieving your goals.

Jason Varner, owner of Nspire Nutrition, says both exercise and eating well are first steps to leading a healthy lifestyle. Varner’s top three products for healthy living include protein, multivitamins and pre-workouts.

“Protein is our most important macronutrient, and people don’t get enough,” Varner says. “Macronutrients provide energy to our bodies, and protein helps with tissue repair, growth, immune system function, making essential hormones and enzymes and preserving lean muscle mass.”

48 | January/February 2015

Multivitamins help fill nutrient gaps that are not received from regular food intake. Multivitamins are often formulated to meet certain needs, which pertain to sex, age, activity level and other personal characteristics.

Finding a multivitamin that fits your unique needs and lifestyle should not be too difficult.

“Pre-workouts [protein powders, bars, etc.] give your muscles energy for what you are about to put them through,” Varner says. “There are several good pre-workout products that help with strength, recovery and endurance.”

Penny Fallon, owner of JC Health Food Services, suggests magnesium, vitamin D3 and holy basil as her top three products for healthy living.

“Magnesium is the most important mineral, and it is a bit tricky to get enough of it from our diets,” Fallon says. “This mineral aids the body in coping with stress, is needed for calcium uptake, can help to lower blood pressure and is needed for more than 300 different functions throughout our bodies.”

High-stress lifestyles, pollution and processed foods can all contribute to a vitamin D deficiency, and such a deficiency seems to be more and more common. Taking a D3 supplement can help to strengthen the immune system and regulate mood.

“I’ve had several customers tell me that when they are not taking enough

“All stress, physical or emotional, has an effect on our adrenal glands, which then impacts our health, energy and state of mind. Several of my customers say they feel calmer and more energetic when they take holy basil. ” — Penny Fallon

H

h e a l t h a n d w e ll n e s s D3, they feel like a light has been turned off in them,” Fallon says. “They notice that vitamin D3 helps with both their energy levels and their general outlook on life.”

Holy basil, another of Fallon’s favorite products, is a native to India and Southeast Asia. It is sometimes used as a natural antibiotic to aid with wound healing, can help regulate blood-sugar level and can be beneficial to take when experiencing stress.

“All stress, physical or emotional, has an effect on our adrenal glands, which then impacts our health, energy and state of mind,” Fallon says. “Several of my customers say they feel calmer and more energetic when they take holy basil.”

“

“People should learn about what they are taking and why, and we are here to educate them.”

— Penny Fallon, owner, JC Health Food Services

With so many products to choose from, many people feel health food stores can be intimidating. Who knows about this or that product? Jefferson City resident Jennifer Utter frequently visits Fallon’s store in search of a variety of items ranging from nontoxic, cruelty-free makeup to oil of oregano. “The staff is very friendly and helpful,” she says. “I like that they can answer my questions and offer guidance on a range of topics.”

Fallon often directs customers to products that may be of use. “People should learn about what they are taking and why, and we are here to educate them,” she says. “Learning about healthy alternatives is my business, and I discover something new almost every day. It allows me to do a better job of helping my customers.”

One of Fallon’s customers had suffered with severe sinusitis for more than seven years.

h e a l t h a n d w e ll n e s s He had even gone to Mayo Clinic, where he was diagnosed with a fungal infection, but he still wasn’t having success treating it. Fallon suggested two products: a grapefruit seed nasal spray known to help fight fungus and a strong herbal compound to help clear the sinuses. The following week he was able to breathe through his nose and taste his food for the first time in years. JC

TRENDING: Coconut Oil What is it? It’s a healthy fat that

can be used when cooking or baking or used as a supplement in many health and beauty items.

What are some of the benefits? “The health advantages

we’ve read about include supporting the thyroid, boosting metabolism, feeding the brain, helping prevent Alzheimer’s and fighting fungal infections like thrush,” Fallon says. Coconut oil can also be used as a beauty aid, including a hydrating cream, makeup remover and hair mask and can be mixed with sugar to make a smoothing body scrub.

What do I look for? Varner’s tips on what to look for when buying coconut oil include: Is it organic? Is it approved by the USDA or another qualifying agency? Are hydrogenated fats listed on the label? If so, stay away!

Is the product refined, deodorized or bleached? These practices make for a lower-quality oil. Is it fresh or dried?

Many nutrients are lost during the drying process. Is the oil raw? Raw is better than cooked. thinkstock.com

O n e L ast H u r r a h Mardi Gras, Feb. 17, recognizes the end of the Carnival season. Mardi Gras is not an official church holiday but is celebrated because the following day starts Lent, a 40-day period when Christians practice preparation and penitence before Easter. Ash Wednesday marks the beginning of Lent, so Mardi Gras, French for “Fat Tuesday,” is often the last day for indulgences.

Living Well Learn expert health tips for all stages of life.

Teeth for Life Samuel Barnhart, DDS, PC, with Huntline Dental Group, offers advice for keeping your teeth healthy.

Children and teens: Stay away from candy.

Suckers, hard candy and chewy candies are all bad. Chewy candy is particularly bad because it adheres to the tiny grooves on surface of the teeth.

20s: Learn to brush your teeth well. Every tooth has five sides, and all must be brushed and flossed daily.

30s to 40s: Be careful of falling into unhealthy habits such as drinking soda at your desk. Do not smoke or use snuff. By this age, many people have lost one posterior tooth due to pregnancy or other circumstances. Do not wait to restore the space so that you will maintain proper arch form and bone volume.

50s: Be sure to have your fillings checked regularly because they have been there for a long time. Problems can creep in without you knowing it.

60s: Teeth begin to become more brittle due to the pulp chamber shrinking and thus less fluid in the teeth. Watch out for broken teeth, and crown them before fractures become symptomatic.

70s: Continue seeing your dentist every six months. If you have followed the above tips, maintenance usually gets easier.

Your 20s Mettu: “The secret to being rich and healthy in the later part of the life can be achieved by being productive during earlier stages of life. Ensuring that you get adequate and quality sleep is a big contributing factor. Having a good night sleep is important and helps one’s overall health and well-being.”

Link: “There are really four things that you need to do to remain healthy and markedly prevent most chronic illnesses. At least 10 studies in the last 10 years show that by doing these four things, you will decrease diabetes by 90 percent, heart attacks by 80 percent, strokes by 50 percent and cancer by 35 percent.”

62 | January/February 2015

1. If you smoke, stop.

2. Eat several servings of colorful, nutrient-dense vegetables every day.

3. Maintain a healthy weight throughout life.

4. Move every day in some way.

• Consistently buckle up in cars, and wear helmets when riding motorcycles and bicycles. “Accidental injuries are common in this age group,” Lease says.

• Protect against sexually transmitted diseases. Immunize for HPV, if not already. HPV is the No. 1 cause of abnormal Pap tests, cervical cancer and genital warts. “We think almost 100 percent of cervical cancer is caused by this virus,” Schwartz says. “Also, most of the head and neck cancers, such as cancers of the tonsils and the throat, we think are also caused by this virus.”

• Start cervical cancer screening with Pap smears and clinical breast exams in the early 20s.

• Discuss preventive health topics with your doctors, such as menstrual

cycle regulation, safe sex practices, pregnancy planning and prevention, preconception counseling and pregnancy health, Berendzen recommends.

• Establish good sleep patterns and a regular sleep schedule. Mettu advises refraining from exercising four to six hours before bedtime. Also avoid nicotine and alcohol, and if you have trouble falling asleep, limit coffee to two cups a day, and don’t drink in the evenings. “Certain foods containing tryptophan can aid in sleeping such as dairy products, bananas, yogurt, whole grain, turkey, crackers and peanut butter,” he says. Turn off electronics 30 minutes before going to bed, and refrain from charging electronic devices in the bedroom where the glow can disrupt sleep.

• Keep up with vaccinations based on underlying health conditions. These may include: influenza, tetanus, diphtheria and pertussis, hepatitis, meningococcal, pneumococcal and herpes zoster.

• Avoid tanning booths.

Your 30s Berendzen: “In this crazy, busy world, stress management is something that we all must address and find what works best. Reproductive health topics change throughout a woman’s life, but I always encourage women to be familiar with their bodies so that they can ‘listen’ and recognize when something seems wrong.”

• Cholesterol screening is recommended for men beginning at 35.

• Discuss any psychosocial issues, such as anxiety and depression, with your doctor, Berendzen says. These can be related to various causes and can significantly impact health.

• Get enough calcium. “Women reach their peak bone mass in their 30s,” Lease says. “Physical activity and a healthy diet with adequate calcium intake help to maximize it.”

• Watch what you eat. According to Link, most adults start putting on a pound or two a year after age 30, so almost all adults need to reduce their carbohydrates in the form of processed foods as they get older. “There have been several studies in the last year that carbohydrates significantly increase weight around the waist, significantly increase cholesterol and significantly increase diabetes,” Link says. “Eat whole food, and strictly limit the amount of processed foods that come in boxes and bags.” He also says to keep in mind that not all whole grains are created equal. “Whole grain bread is really not whole grain at all, for any grain once ground into flour becomes sugar, which means it has a high glycemic index. Foods such as potatoes, bread, cereal, chips and crackers turn to sugar immediately in your stomach.”

• Enjoy whole-fat dairy, which has recently been shown to decrease weight, decrease diabetes and also increase fertility in young women.

Your 40s Rodgers: “There is no question that back trouble is the leading cause of missed work and lost economic productivity in the U.S. Many of the problems that arise in the spine are related to lifestyle and could be prevented or at least eased significantly. Choosing a healthy diet, following a consistent exercise regimen and avoiding all forms of nicotine greatly improve spinal health. Surgery of the spine, my personal specialty, is always a last resort and could be avoided in many instances by observing these three simple lifestyle guidelines.”

• Discuss changes and issues associated with the menopausal transition with your doctor.

• Begin breast cancer screening mammograms. Adams recommends starting screenings earlier if there is a family history or an abnormal gene in the family that would increase your risk for breast cancer. Schwartz agrees and says: “Say your mom developed breast cancer at age 30; you subtract 10 years from that when you start your first mammogram, at age 20. If you have the BRCA gene, then you should start testing your children at age 18.”

• Get up, and move around often, Link says, particularly if you have a job that requires a lot of sitting. [Aim for] several episodes of getting up and moving around, a brief burst of exercise for five or 10 minutes, such as a brisk walk or simple pushups. Take the elevator down, and take the stairs up. It doesn’t have to be high-level aerobic exercise; you just need to get out there and move.

• Women should begin cholesterol screenings. thinkstock.com

Drink Up! Fruit-Infused Water

By Jeff Zimmermann, health promotions manager of Boone Hospital Center’s WELLAWARE We hear it all the time: For overall better health, we need to drink more water. But what if you don’t like the taste of water or need something else to quench your thirst?

A trendy new option to help you drink more water and keep hydrated is fruit-infused water.

It’s also a healthier alternative to sugary drinks and/or caffeinated beverages.

Every system in our body depends on water.

Water flushes out toxins and keeps your body’s environment (skin, muscles, organs, etc.) moist from the inside out. Water carries nutrients to your cells, helps you look and feel your best and provides you with energy.

Experts tend to differ about how much water we need to drink. It is important to understand that we are all different and have specific needs when discussing water intake on a daily basis.

Factors such as your current health status, where you live and your activity level all play an important role.

On average, 60 percent of our body is made up of water. The average person needs 2,000 cc of water per day, which is equivalent to a twoliter bottle. A simple formula to determine your water needs is to take your body weight, divide it in half and then drink that number in ounces of water. For example, a 200-pound person should drink 100 ounces of water, and a 140-pound person should drink 70 ounces.

Refresh and cool off by adding these items (fresh or frozen) to your water: cucumber, lemons and limes, oranges, grapefruit, grapes, ginger and mint, peach, kiwi, blackberries, watermelon, pineapple, blueberries, raspberries, strawberries.

10 Ways to Increase Your Daily Water Intake 1. Start your morning off with a glass of water, right after you wake up.

2. Fill and carry your favorite water bottle with you wherever you go.

3. Drink water with a straw.

4. Eat water-rich foods, such as watermelon, tomatoes, oranges, celery, etc.

5. Drink water before eating a meal or snack.

6. If you are feeling sluggish in the afternoon, drink some water. Fatigue may be a sign of dehydration.

7. Track/log your daily water intake.

8. Cut back on caffeine, and replace caffeinated drinks with water.

9. Drink plenty of water when exercising: before, during and after the workout.

10. Jazz your water up with fresh fruit by using a water bottle infuser.

Your 50s Echelmeyer: “In 2014, colorectal cancer is expected to cause over 50,000 deaths. The lifetime incidence is approximately 20 percent, or one in five men and women will develop colon or rectal cancer in their lifetime. We know that tobacco, obesity and diets high in red meat and low in fiber increase the risk for colorectal cancer. In some patients with genetic risk factors, a daily aspirin can help prevent colorectal cancer, but this should be discussed with the patient’s health care provider.”

• Begin colon cancer screening at age 50 with a standard colonoscopy and at age 45 if you are African American, Echelmeyer says. “Those with a family

history [first family diagnosed before age 60] of colon cancer or high-risk polyps should begin cancer screening at age 40, or 10 years prior to the age of their relative at diagnosis, and then five years thereafter.”

• Consider having lung cancer screening if you are or were a smoker. According to Schwartz, lung cancer is the No. 1 cancer killer in America. “We think beginning in 2015, health insurance companies are going to start paying for low-dose CAT scans for those who have smoked for 15 years or longer.”

• Consume more fiber and less processed foods. “There have been multiple studies of people from Africa, where the rate of colon cancer is very low,” Schwartz says. “When these populations move to this country, their rate of colon cancer goes up to mirror ours.”

• Make sure you are getting enough protein. “Most adults should get about 20 grams of protein, about the size of a deck of cards, or 4 ounces, with

each meal,” Link says. “This is because your body can only absorb about 20 to 30 grams of protein at a time. Some studies indicate that too little protein when you get to be 50 and older increases the risk of disease.”

• Monitor your sleep. According to Mettu, sleep problems can interface with several other medical subspecialties clinical disease conditions such as neurology, cardiology, pulmonary medicine, endocrinology, rheumatology, dentistry, ENT, behavioral and psychiatry, to name a few. Women’s risk factors for obstructive sleep apnea include being overweight, polycystic ovarian syndrome, pregnancy and menopause.

• Look into prostrate screening. “Prostate cancer screening is controversial, so discuss the risks and benefits with your physician,” Lease says.

• Get vaccinated for shingles. “Shingles vaccination is recommended to decrease the risk of painful shingles rash by about 50 percent,” Lease says.

Protect Your Skin Now and Later According to Dr. Luke Welch of Central Missouri Dermatology, there are precautions to take and certain warning signs to look for to maintain healthy skin throughout your life.

Do not!

• Tanning beds: They increase your risk of skin cancer substantially, and more research is coming out on the dangers. From an aesthetic standpoint, they will age you sooner and cause the melatonin (pigmentation) in your skin to become more uneven as you age.

• Sunburn: If you have had even one blistering sunburn as a child, your chances of getting skin cancer increase substantially.

Do!

• Wear a sunscreen with a Sun Protection Factor (SPF) of 30 or more that has both UVB and UVA protection. Remember to put sunscreen on your ears, neck and chest. Damage to the chest and neck accumulates over time, and there are no great cosmetic treatments for these areas once the damage is done. However, there are several good medical treatments to reduce or eliminate pre-cancers in these areas.

20s

Check for dark moles that seem to change in size or color. If you see the mole’s border changing, or if it bleeds or itches, see your doctor immediately.

Aggressive forms of melanomas are most common at this age.

30s

Be on the lookout for scaly bumps or pink, pearly bumps that do not go away. Squamous cell and basal cell carcinoma become more common at this stage of life.

40s on up

Continue to look for any skin changes just as during your 20s and 30s. Thankfully, it’s never too late to make changes to reduce your risk of skin cancers. If you have had skin cancer, you should be seeing your dermatologist on a regular basis.

Jefferson City Magazine | 67

Your 60s Adams: “The main health issues that vascular surgical specialists encounter include manifestations of atherosclerosis, or hardening of the arteries. Plaque buildup within the blood vessels result in blockages and can cause stroke, heart attacks and lower limb circulation problems. In severe cases, patients can progress to limb loss. Vascular disease affects approximately 20 percent of our population over the age of 65.”

“

“The secret to being rich and healthy in the later part of the life can be achieved by being productive during earlier stages of life. Ensuring that you get adequate and quality sleep is a big contributing factor.

Having a good night sleep is important and helps one’s overall health and well-being.”

— Dr. Krishna Mettu

• Influenza vaccines are recommended during the fall season for adults 65 and older to be better protected, Lease says.

• For women in their 60s and 70s, screening for breast cancer, osteoporosis and colorectal cancer are important.

“If a woman has had normal cervical screenings and no new sexual partners, they can stop cervical screenings at age 65,” Lease says.

• Exercise regularly. This is especially important for cancer survivors, according to Schwartz. “Several studies of women who have had breast cancer and women and men who have had colon cancer show that cancer return is reduced by 50 percent if moderate to vigorous exercise is followed three times a week,” he says.

completely, but many health problems, particularly back and neck trouble, are the cumulative result of choices we make every day.”

• Address chronic pain. “Patients should understand that there is a lot they can do to help their pain,” Lucio says. “The use of interventional techniques should be saved for last, and the use of narcotics should be de-emphasized in favor of over-the-counter and prescription-strength nonsteroidal medications like Tylenol, ibuprofen and Celebrex, to name a few.”

• Be aware of sleep disorders that are more common in older adults, especially institutionalized older people living in nursing homes, Mettu says. These can include: obstructive sleep apnea, central sleep apnea, advance sleep phase syndrome, restless leg syndrome, periodic limb movement disorder, REM sleep behavior disorder and insomnia (contributed from medical illnesses, medications, depression, alcohol use or loss of a loved one).

• Understand that aneurysm formation can be a more pressing health issue as we age.

“Abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAA) are the most common aneurysm that occur in the elderly population and can result in rupture and death if not detected and repaired,” Adams says.

“Approximately 3 to 5 percent of patients over the age of 70 have a AAA.” • Continue colonoscopy screenings until age 75 to 80 at appropriate intervals based on the findings of prior colonoscopies. “Though colonoscopy can often be feared, secondary to the preparation, colonoscopy saves lives and not only detects cancers but prevents them as well,” Echelmeyer says. “No other screening modality has the capability of doing both.”

• Review medications with your physician. Avoid sedating medications when possible to prevent development of confusion and increased fall risk.

• Schedule hearing and vision checks.

• Remain active. JC

The Power of Three Nicklas Financial offers tri-generational support to businesses and individuals alike.

B y M o l ly W r i g h t p h o t o s b y a n t h o n y j i ns o n

A

Although family businesses are not uncommon in Jefferson City, few span three generations. Nicklas Financial is one of them. Today, the company continues to provide exceptional financial guidance and unmatched personal service for individuals and businesses. This kind of service has been the hallmark of the company for 35 years.

The idea for starting the business took root in 1978, when Brooks Nicklas headed the life and insurance department at Central Bank. At the time, Brooks’ younger son, Kenny, was a partner with Tharp and Nicklas Management Inc. His older son, Don, had recently returned to Jefferson City after leaving a job with the Ozark Regional Tourism Commission in Little Rock,

Arkansas. Recognizing an opportunity to work together in 1979, father and sons founded the Nicklas Agency and purchased the life and health insurance department from Central Bank. Two years later, Brooks’ daughter, Joyce Ann Wilson, returned to her hometown, joined the family business and became the fourth stockholder.

According to Kenny, the company’s original objective was to provide a customized full line of insurance and retirement products, sold and serviced by knowledgeable agents and experienced staff. Although the company has never wavered from its original dedication to exemplary customer service, it continues to tweak its business model to best reflect the changing needs of a growing clientele.

“

“Jefferson City is just right in many ways. It is not too big, so relationships are valued, and not too small, so quality of services does not suffer.”

— Kenny Nicklas

Today, Nicklas Financial focuses on three primary areas: advisers, businesses and individuals. “We are a branch office for Securities America Inc., through which we are able to offer securities. Securities America, Inc a member of FINRA/SIPC, is one of the largest independent broker/dealers in the United States,” Kenny says. “We recruit and supervise advisers in Missouri, Kansas and Oklahoma, assisting them with offering clients a full range of products and services to meet their financial needs.”

Nicklas Financial provides businesses with services that focus on retirement, retention and succession, more commonly known as 401k plans, key-person retention plans and buy/sell plans funded with life insurance. For individuals, the company offers total financial planning, which encompasses wealth building,

protection and distributions to maximize tax efficiency. The firm’s advisory services are offered by Securities America Advisors Inc. At the millennium, thirdgeneration members came on board when Kenny’s son, Brandon Nicklas, joined the company in 2000, followed by Kenny’s daughter, Brie Heislen, in 2007.

More recently, Brooks and Don retired their stock, and now Kenny and Joyce Ann are sole stockholders.

Brooks, who celebrated his 90th birthday in September, still frequents the office, assisting with special projects as they arise. Don also remains an active adviser in serving his clients as needed.

As for future plans, Kenny says they will always look for ways to improve so they can continue to help clients accomplish their goals and objectives in the best way possible.

“If we do that, there will be no shortage of opportunity with expanding our company,” he says, adding that he feels being located in the Capital City is a plus. “Jefferson City is just right in many ways. It is not too big, so relationships are valued, and not too small, so quality of services does not suffer.”

Both Kenny and his sister, Joyce Ann, thoroughly enjoy helping others maximize their time, talents and money. They also agree there is a special satisfaction that comes from working in a family business.

“I like being with my family, being able to share and work toward a common goal,” Joyce Ann says.

“My father’s dream was to have a business that successfully met the needs of the community and provided a living for the family. I was fortunate to have been given the opportunity to work in the business when I moved back and would certainly like to provide the same opportunity to future generations.”

Kenny adds: “By being a part of a successful team, we help people identify what is important to them, set strategies in place to accomplish their objectives and implement tactics to weave through the problems of everyday life without losing focus.” JC ➝ Nicklas Financial and Securities America are unaffiliated.

A [Miracle] Heart for Others One child’s amazing story helps others on the journey.

“When she was born, she surprised everybody,” Janice says. “She was pink and crying, and we got to hold her immediately.”

Although the doctors did not do immediate surgery, Tessa had her first minor heart procedure six weeks later, which turned out to be not so minor when doctors had to shock her heart to keep it beating. It was the start of an uphill battle for the Markways.

Tessa wasn’t growing because she was too weak to nurse, and at 7 months old and only 10 pounds, she had to have a cardiac catheterization. They nearly lost her during the procedure. Her only option was now a heart transplant, an extremely risky surgery because of her anatomy.

“On May 7, 2007, 11 days after she was placed on the transplant list, I laid Tessa in her oversized hospital bed and knelt down to pray,” Janice says. “No sooner had I stood up, the doctor called to say they had a present for me. Tessa would be receiving a new heart from a family who was unselfish enough to save her life when they had just lost their baby.”

At 8 months old, Tessa received a new heart.

She came through the five-hour surgery with flying colors with a new pink glow to her skin. She has had no setbacks or difficulties since her heart transplant seven years ago, including no restrictions on activities such as dancing.

Tessa Markway is an energetic, spunky 8-year-old. She twirls. She leaps. She dances.

As you watch her move to the rhythm, you would never know this larger-than-life kid was once a sickly baby with a failing heart.

In 2006, Bob and Janice Markway were told that their unborn baby, Tessa, had a severe heart defect. She was missing her left ventricle and had a leaky heart valve. Doctors prepared them for a new reality. They were warned that after birth Tessa would be whisked away to the neonatal intensive care unit. Holding and meeting their new daughter for the first time would probably not be an option. Tessa had other plans.

“She is a miracle, and it’s by the grace of God that she is here,” Janice says, her voice cracking. “This journey has made us grow so much. We were told she wouldn’t make it, and here she is.”

Janice credits the work of the American Heart Association, not only for the support it has provided their family but also for the cardiovascular research that has been life saving for their family and others. The Markways became active with the American Heart Association 14 years ago, long before Tessa’s birth, when their oldest daughter, Emma, underwent her first open-heart surgery. They decided they wanted to help other families who were on the same journey by helping to raise money and awareness of these critical heart issues.

“

“She is a miracle, and it’s by the grace of God that she is here. …

We were told she wouldn’t make it, and here she is.”

— Janice Markway

This year, Tessa has been chosen as the Heart Child for the American Heart Association’s 2015 Mid-Missouri Heart Ball to be held Feb. 14. Although it is the second time one of the Markway children has been selected as the Heart Child, it is an honor the family doesn’t take lightly.

“We see this as an opportunity to share our story and help people become aware that heart disease affects everyone from the unborn to the elderly,” Janice says. “I know that neither of our daughters would be here today without the research and funding of the American Heart Association. Every day we get to hug our very own little miracles.”

The 24th annual American Heart Association Heart Ball will be held Feb. 14 at the Capitol Plaza Hotel in Jefferson City.

Cost is $125 per person or $1,250 per table with all proceeds benefiting the American Heart Association. Join Tessa Markway and her family at the Heart Ball, and dance the night away for a great cause. JC

“People who are in trouble need comfort,” Eva Studley says. “Nothing spells comfort more than Q-U-I-L-T, and the love that goes into one surely surrounds the person who receives it.”

Due to Studley’s involvement in organizations such as the Missouri River Quilt Guild in Jefferson City and the American Quilter’s Society, along with various charities, many people are fortunate to surround themselves with her beautiful and caring creations.

84 | January/February 2015

“Charity is a large part of a quilter’s world,” she says. Studley has made quilts to donate to or be used as fundraising items for the Jefferson City Rape and Abuse Crisis Service, Habitat for Humanity homeowners, Honor Flight veterans, the veterans’ hospital in Columbia, Kids

“Charity is a large part of a quilter’s world.”

Quilts, the Red Cross and many more. The charities are chosen because either the group was asked to help or they saw a need.

“My friends and I spent a week making quilts and small blankets for survivors of Hurricane Katrina, and we sent 300 to New Orleans,” Studley says.

Quilting is a time-intensive and costly hobby but one that Studley has been drawn to most of her life. As a teenager in the ’50s, she read Grace Livingston Hill romance

Compassionate Dentristy.

novels for young girls, and it was in one of those books where she read that every girl should have a hope chest filled with at least two handmade quilts. For her 16th birthday her dad and grandfather made her a cedar hope chest. “All it needed were my quilts,” Studley says.

However, Studley knew no one who quilted, so at the age of 17, she started her first quilt. She had no pattern and no knowledge whatsoever of making quilts, but she wasn’t deterred. She cut template pieces from the sides of a Cheerios box, handstitched all the blocks together into a top, used an old sheet for backing and cheap cotton for the inside.

“I didn’t even know the word batting,” she laughs.

“

“I tend to see the world in patterns. God gave me eyes to see and hands to create.”

— Eva Studley

Time passed, and she continued working on her quilt. Studley married and started a family. At age 30, she enrolled in college to fulfill her dream of becoming a teacher.

With little time, she picked up her project here and there.

“The last stitches went in at age 37,” she says. “It was a masterpiece in my eyes, from the large toe-catching stitches at the top all the way down to the final tiny even stitches at the bottom. I matured as a person with that quilt and treasure it to this day.”

After retiring as a public school teacher, Studley’s passion for quilting naturally merged with her talents as a teacher. She began by working part time at a fabric store and then began teaching classes at the store. Eventually, her husband built her a quilting studio where she and students could experiment with all of the new gadgets, techniques, patterns and fabrics a quilter could desire.

“I tend to see the world in patterns,” Studley says. “God gave me eyes to see and hands to create.” JC

How God Rewrote My Heart

Autobiography

A message of hope, forgiveness, healing and unconditional love

H

Hometown girl Susan Jaramillo has released her first book, which is her personal story about encountering the love of God in a most unexpected way. Through a heartfelt prayer, she shares her story of a miraculous transformation from a life of self-destruction to one of joy.

Jaramillo writes: “In 2007, after 35 years of wandering, pain, hardship and trauma — the results of trying to satisfy self-driven needs, wants and desires — I was transformed instantly through an encounter with God. With His amazing gifts of unconditional love, grace and healing, which He offers freely to each one of us, God rewrote my heart from the inside out. The very sins I committed against Him, He washed away, releasing me from the guilt, shame, bitterness and resentment in which I was trapped, and He invited me to wholeness in Him, restoring the innocence I had lost at a young age. Through God’s grace, I am now able to share with others the experiences I once kept hidden, using these events to minister to their hearts and inviting them to experience a deliverance and freedom they may not think possible.” JC Readers say once you start Jaramillo’s book, you will not put it down until you’ve finished.

Evolved Passion A former social worker finds her new calling working in glass.

I

B y L a u r en S a b l e F r e i m a n p h o t o s b y a nge l i q u e h u n t e r

It took 50 years, but Andrea Cleeton finally found her passion. She was watching a TV show about hobbies nearly 10 years ago when she saw a woman making fused glass plates. Something clicked. Her interest was so piqued by the process of creating art out of glass that she immediately went to work researching opportunities to try it out for herself.

“I found a woman 20 miles away who was teaching classes,” Cleeton says. “I took one class and was hooked. I found my passion when I took that first class.”

Her first order of business after that class was purchasing her own small kiln so she could work out of her basement. Today, her studio holds three kilns of varying sizes. It’s an ironic turn of events for Cleeton, who was always interested in art but didn’t think she had any artistic ability. As a little girl, she once told someone she wanted to be an artist when she grew up, but her mom told her that drawing wasn’t among her strongest gifts.

“It wasn’t until I was in my 30s that I realized I was creative and artistic,” Cleeton says. “I was a state social worker for 30 years in the child welfare field and then a trainer in the industry for 22 years.

That’s where I realized I did have some creativity and artistic ability.”

In her retirement, Cleeton has found the time to devote herself to glass: working with it; learning new techniques; traveling around the country to take classes; and keeping up to date with a glassworks Facebook group devoted to sharing tips, advice and techniques.

Jefferson City Magazine | 107

“

“Sometimes I wonder why I had to be 50 when I found my passion in life, but I came to the conclusion that that’s just when it happened, that’s when I could enjoy it, when I could put my all into it.”

— Andrea Cleeton Today, Cleeton’s work is on display at The Art Bazaar, a local artist co-op in historic Warwick Village Square. She pays rent to the co-op and volunteers her time to work in the store, where about 30 different artists display and sell their work. Her collection includes ornaments, bowls, clocks and pendants, but her best-selling piece is a dish for serving olive oil and dipping bread.

“There are fused pieces of glass in the bottom so you can take a clove of garlic and rub it into olive oil for dipping bread,” Cleeton says. “A friend of mine saw them made out of ceramic in New Mexico. She sent me a picture, and it took me several attempts to figure out the right firing schedule, but they sell like crazy.”

Cleeton says many times her inspiration comes from nature, where shapes or colors that she likes seem to call her to translate them into glass. Sometimes she sees a 108 | January/February 2015

piece by another artist and works to perfect that technique in glass, and sometimes she wakes up in the middle of the night with an idea that makes her anxious to get into her studio to create.

Although she often creates pieces based on her own inspirations and visions, Cleeton says she gets excited about opportunities to collaborate with others on commissioned pieces. She recently created a clock for a customer based on a photograph of water.

“I had that picture hanging in my studio, and I looked at it for several weeks, trying to figure out how to manipulate the glass to look like water,” she says. “I consulted with my client several times, and, in the end, we both really liked the piece.”

Cleeton is also excited about the opportunity to make glass tiles to complement the Fountain of Hope in the park next to Saffees.

“People will be able to purchase tiles in memory of someone who has died of cancer, and each will have an awareness ribbon based on the type of cancer,” Cleeton says.

“It's really nice to be part of a community project like this, and to know that the tiles will be there forever is really exciting.”

Now that she’s found her passion in life, Cleeton has nothing but excitement for the future. She is anxious to purchase an even larger kiln for her studio and to continue learning, branching out and creating things that feed her artistic spirit.

“Sometimes I wonder why I had to be 50 when I found my passion in life, but I came to the conclusion that that’s just when it happened, that’s when I could enjoy it, when I could put my all into it,” Cleeton says. “I'm just glad it happened.” JC

hUNTLINE OUTDOOR PRODUCTIONS Passion for the outdoors prompts a television series.

BY T o m L o eff l e r | p h o t o s b y h u n t l i ne p r o d u c t i o ns

110 | January/February 2015

S

Sam Barnhart got his first deer when he was 9. By then, he was already a veteran of the woods.

“We went hunting with my dad,” Sam says. “I was probably 5 or 6; I wasn’t hunting yet. My brother was about 4, and my sister was 8 or 9. My dad got us all laying under a couple blankets on the ground under a tree, and he had us take a nap. That was my dad’s version of babysitting.”

Sam’s father, Tim Barnhart Sr., planted the seed for the love of the hunt, and it’s been blooming ever since. “My dad’s passion for hunting introduced me to it and allowed me to grow my own passion,” Sam says.

Another step came a couple years later. Sam still wasn’t hunting yet, but he wasn’t taking a nap on this trip either.

“When I was about 7, we had a really good night,” he says.

“We saw about 30 deer, dad shot a buck with his bow… that was the first time I saw a deer killed with a bow.”

More on this to come: the thrill of a successful hunt.

Sam is a graduate of Vienna High School and attended Lindenwood University before transferring to the University of Missouri-Kansas City and earning his degree in dentistry. He worked at his father’s office in Westphalia for two years before opening his own practice three years ago.

This fall, Sam, 30, worked in his dental office Monday through Wednesday and worked in nature’s office on most other days. He’s not your run-of-the-mill hunter, as he’s taken it to the next level with the support of his wife, Leslie. The couple has two boys, ages 3 and 1.

What’s the next level in hunting? Making a TV show about it.

“

“My dad bought a farm in Kansas purely for hunting. We started having a lot more consistent success with big whitetails. Once we started having that consistent success, the pipe dream of having a television show started as more of a hobby. That’s when I started carrying a home video camera around.” — Sam Barnhart “You’d have someone pick you up from your deer stand, and they’d ask: ‘Hey, did you see anything? Did you shoot anything? What happened?’” Sam says. “Instead of just being able to talk about it, to be able to go back to the cabin and watch it, it changed everything.”

The dream had roots in Kansas. “My dad bought a farm in Kansas purely for hunting,” Sam says. “We started having a lot more consistent success with big whitetails. Once we started having that consistent success, the

pipe dream of having a television show started as more of a hobby. That’s when I started carrying a home video camera around.

“I have not hunted without a camera since 2010, except for one time,” he continues. “I killed a big buck on Halloween 2010. I had hunted all year with a camera, every single hunt. But I was so tired of carrying it around, I didn’t bring it that day, and that’s the time I killed my big deer — of course. I told myself, ‘Never again.’”

★★★★★ Huntline Outdoor Productions, based in Westphalia, started in 2012. That’s also where HuntlineTV has its roots, though the company also films commercials and produces promotional videos, among other ventures.

At a whitetail convention in Columbia a few years ago, there were representatives on hand from the newly formed Hunt TV Channel, which was looking for new ideas and shows. Sam sent them the DVD from his early recordings, and “the next thing you know, we were talking about contracts for air time,” he says.

In July 2011, he took a video-editing course in Illinois to refine his craft. He made a 75-minute video, and that turned out to be the first season of HuntlineTV, though the second season features more than four hours of footage. The show focuses on deer but features other hunts as well.

“The difference between our first and second seasons, the second season blew people away,” Sam says. “The quality was so much better; we learned a lot in a short time to make our production quality go up.”

The show has since been picked up by the Pursuit Channel (it’s still on the Hunt Channel) and will be available on both Dish and DirecTV. In addition, KRCG-TV will start showing the first two seasons of Huntline on Sunday mornings in January.

“We invested a lot of time, effort and money into the first two seasons, and we feel like so few people have gotten to see them,” Sam says. “That’s why it’s beneficial to get them out there.”

There is a lot more to this show than ready, aim, fire.

Here’s the lead-in narration and promo for the upcoming season three: “We’re bow hunters. It means more than filling tags or the freezer. It’s an appreciation for our environment and the animals in it. It’s the memories made along Jefferson City Magazine | 111

the way, it’s the friendships, it’s the excitement…and it’s something we want to share.”

“The idea of our shows isn’t based around the killing of deer; it’s based around being in nature, right here in Missouri, right outside their doorstep, which a lot of people really haven’t noticed before,” Sam says. “A lot of people take it for granted.”

The show films all over the Midwest. “We’re always looking for hunts all over the place,” Sam says. And the Huntline local staff has grown to 16 people. “It seems like it’s branching out more all the time. It’s starting to show a little promise in the business world.”

You can get the first two seasons online at huntlinetv.com and experience the thrill of the hunt secondhand. But there’s nothing like that firsthand experience, which brings us back to Sam when he was only 7 and on the hunt with his dad.

“There’s nothing like the post-reaction,” Sam says. “If you’ve never gotten to see what happens in the 30 seconds after someone shoots a deer, those are some of the most exciting and happy moments you’ll ever have.

There’s no way to reproduce that.

“The emotion just pours out,” he continues. “It’s so entertaining to see someone get so excited and fired up by having some success.

You can’t fake those emotions.” JC

“

On Sundays, viewers can find Huntline on Pursuit Channel at 6:30 a.m. and Channel 13 at 10:30 a.m. (CST).

“The idea of our shows isn’t based around the killing of deer; it’s based around being in nature, right here in Missouri, right outside their doorstep, which a lot of people really haven’t noticed before. A lot of people take it for granted.”

Gear up for 2015.

Essentials for this winter will not only keep you looking sharp and in style but also take you to work, out for a fun afternoon or a night on the town. Dress it up or down; you choose. For starters, a chic dress is a must.

Short or long sleeved, sheer accents, rouged, ruffled, color blocked or bedazzled, the dress is it. Wear it with a pair of stiletto boots and a vest or jacket made of leather or fur. By all means, it is time to replace those nude shoes you’ve been leaning on for the past couple of years. Suede, snakeskin, wedged, stiletto or kitten heal, set your stride with a classy black pump, and get a pair now! Embossed alligator, snakeskin or python are great looks this winter for women and men with shoes and accessories.

Regarding sport coats, gentlemen: cashmere, wool, corduroy or velvet will work everywhere you go. Pair it with dress pants at the office, or wear it perfectly to a formal party. When worn with jeans, you will be sporty and hip. A great sport coat is the hot trend and will make you stand out in the crowd.

Pair your coat with a cool plaid sport shirt and a pair of loafers to create a metropolitan impression. Remember, choosing gear that dresses up or down is key this winter.

Look and feel great wherever you go.

Keep warm, and enjoy! Happy New Year!

Although some people don’t consider a trip a vacation unless there is both relaxation and adventure, there are a variety of popular destinations that offer both.

Breaktime

When weekend downtime just isn’t cutting it, these destinations are sure to recharge.

B y K r i s t i M c C a nn | P h o t o b y k e i t h b o r gme y e r

Now is an easy time to dream of your ideal getaway. Whatever your pleasure, which might include white sandy beaches and an umbrella drink or an uncharted adventure, get ready to unwind and say hello to fun. Jefferson City Magazine teamed up with Jeanne Berard, Jill Juckette and Titta Samson from Classic Travel to compile a list of 2015’s must-visit vacation destinations. Let the planning begin.

For all ages: A magical experience Family trips to Disney World are still at the top of the list. In fact, Orlando, Florida, continues to be one of the most-booked trips at Classic Travel. A trip to Disney offers an opportunity for multiple generations to bond over a common activity. “Kids, parents and grandparents all seem to equally enjoy interacting with Mickey Mouse,” Berard says with a laugh.

For the hopeless romantic: Beach bound Declare it a couple’s weekend. Mexico destinations continue to be popular as airlines offer nonstop charters from Kansas City or St. Louis. With flights that last only three to four hours, these destinations are hard to turn down: • Cancun, which includes Riviera Maya and Cozumel • Playa Mujeres and Isla Mujeres (newly developed areas) • Cabo San Lucas • Puerto Vallarta • Dominican Republic, including Punta Cana and La Romana • Montego Bay, Jamaica, which services resort areas on the north and west coasts of Jamaica

For the non-flyer: A classic road trip It’s rumored that the price of gas in 2015 might be lower than previous years. Trips within driving distance are usually more affordable than airfare. Depending on where you live in the United States, a good old-fashioned car ride might just be the answer for your next family vacation. Consider a trip to Washington, D.C. to see the historical sites of America. Or how about exploring the outdoor oasis of Yosemite, Yellowstone National Park or the Grand Canyon? If you’re still the type who craves the beach but has a tight budget, try the northwest part of Florida or the Alabama coast, where you and your friends or family can rent a condo or home for the week.

For travelers seeking adventure: Off the beaten path Although some people don’t consider a trip a vacation unless there is both relaxation and adventure, there are a variety of popular destinations that offer both.

Hawaii and Alaska, both declared great summer spots, are beautiful destinations still within the United States that offer terrain that is both different and exciting. Huatulco, located in Hawaii, offers an authentic vibe and a chance to mingle with the locals if you’re looking to avoid American tourists. Do consider both Hawaii and Alaska as places to be for picturesque views with opportunities for active traveling.

Let’s talk about price It’s hard to set an exact price on a vacation because an agent strives to create a customized trip that offers activities, pricing and sites that are pleasing to all participating individuals.

The more upgrades added, the more memorable your visit, but more likely than not, the higher your final cost will be. Listed below, however, are some general price points that can help when planning your next escape: • Family of four to Disney World for a week: $6,000 • Average couple’s destination package for a week: $3,500 to $5,000 JC Jefferson City Magazine | 123

Why a Travel Agent?

The Internet makes it easy for anyone to plan a trip from start to finish complete with airfare, hotel, excursions and traveling directions, but a travel agent can save you valuable time and money.

All of the information on the Internet can get overwhelming. An agent can help you sift through the details and book plans with reliable and creditable places. They have resources available and trade contacts all over the world that can provide choices to enhance your travel experience.

Agents keep your budget in mind.

With their connections, they have access to promotions and discounts that can get you the most for your money. And with policies and procedures continually changing in the travel world, an agent will have the most up-to-date knowledge on any unwanted surprises you might encounter. For example, some hotels are now charging a destination surcharge that can total $25 to $50 per night depending on where you stay. Airlines now charge for things that used to be included with the ticket price, such as checked bags, carry-on bags, preferred seating and more.

An agent’s knowledge can save you a lot of headaches and prevent miscellaneous charges from hindering your fun. JC

the last word

Winning with Wellness One area health care leader strives for balance between finding cures and promoting healthy lifestyles.

U

B y R i t a Kem p k e r , C F R E

At Capital Region, we join hands with our physicians and other health care partners to provide treatment for our patients with cancer, heart disease, diabetes and other chronic diseases. We strive to bring healing to those who come to us for care. If you have driven by CRMC on Madison Street, you can see this in action. We have embarked on a $38 million hospital expansion to improve access and care for our patients. We are building on excellence, combining highly trained specialists in one location, making services such as imaging and ultrasound easier to access and keeping our commitment to the community by using local contractors on the project. Health care delivery is shifting to an outpatient setting, and we are keeping with this trend by building 130 | January/February 2015

our new outpatient facility. Outpatient care is in and here to stay.

Now, let’s leap across to the other side: prevention and wellness.

Have you had the opportunity to listen to a presentation by Dr. Chris Link, integrative medicine? Link was an emergency medicine physician who saw what was happening in health care and decided to pursue integrative medicine. Integrative medicine entails collaboration between the doctor and patient for optimal results. This practice takes the whole person into account and, most importantly, the beliefs and desires of the patient. Link presents a four-prong approach to prevention: • Eat well and get proper nutrition.

• Exercise.

• Eliminate tobacco.

• Manage stress, and get good rest and sleep.

Link’s approach is simple, yet the results can be amazing. I witness this holistic approach on a daily basis at the Capital Region Sam B. Cook Healthplex, which is a big part of the wellness landscape at CRMC. I call it the “Sam B. Cook solution.” When Mr. Cook gave the largest donation ever to our hospital to create the Sam B. Cook Healthplex, this was his vision, his dream: “I had a heart attack. I want to create a place where people can get healthy and well so we can prevent heart attacks and other health issues.” Mr. Cook, rest

Upon returning from the Advisory Board Company Philanthropy Leadership Council conference, a global resource for the health care industry, it is evident that the health care landscape is changing in big ways. Yet, there remains a huge gap between two landscapes: chronic disease and prevention and wellness.

The Centers for Disease Control reports that 80 percent of older adults have at least one chronic condition, and 50 percent have at least two. To bring that down to a local level, according to the Missouri Foundation for Health, in a survey of older Missourians, about 95 percent were found to have one of 13 chronic diseases and conditions, more than 80 percent had at least two and about 65 percent had at least three. Chronic disease accounts for more than 75 percent of health care. These are alarming statistics.

assured, your gift is making a difference in the health of our Healthplex members.

So, yes, we have the two landscapes. Yet, we are happy to report that we are working hard to bring the two landscapes together toward better health and wellness in our community with programs of excellence such as the Sam B. Cook Healthplex and integrative medicine.

CRMC, the foundation and all of our hospital family are well positioned for the future of health care.

Remember, in the beginning it is never easy to make changes. Much like when seatbelt laws were first introduced, someone had to start somewhere to fight for this vehicle safety feature. Today there are seatbelts in every vehicle, and it is second nature to buckle up.

Bridging the gap between chronic disease and health and wellness will take time, but we have to start somewhere. Taking a stronger wellness and prevention focus is no longer an option for preventing chronic disease. Buckle up, baby, and let’s work together to make our community one of the healthiest in the nation! JC
