One of the South Sound’s premier events, Born to be Wild, hosted 625 community-minded movers and shakers at this year’s event. During the Fund-a-Kid portion of the evening, a testimonial was given by Club Kid Mara Harris and her mother, Heather. They spoke about the Club’s positive impacts on their lives—especially during hard times—and how Mara has been able to plan for her future due to all of the experiences she has had at the Club. Because of their efforts, the event was able to raise $150,000 for Fund-a-Kid. The total proceeds raised were $475,000. The funds directly support the operations of the Clubs, serving over 2,500 low income kids annually in Thurston County. Programs emphasize three core outcomes: Academic Success, Good Character and Citizenship, and Healthy Lifestyles.

Proton therapy, like traditional radio therapy, attacks tumors with powerful doses of radiation. But unlike traditional radio therapy, proton therapy allows doctors to precisely target tumors and avoid exposing healthy tissue to excess radiation.

Pat says he considered a wide range of treatment options, from radical prostatectomy to watchful waiting. Ultimately, he determined that proton therapy was the best choice for his active lifestyle.

During his nine-week therapy, he worked full-time from a virtual office close to the center where he received his radiation treatment. His colleagues set up a Web conference protocol.

He’d meet with them every morning by webcam and conduct his regular one-on-one meetings as well.

sarah ioannides An international search spanning two years and encompassing more than 100 prospects has reached a conclusion with the appointment of Sarah Ioannides as the next music director of the Tacoma Symphony Orchestra. The New York Times described her as a conductor with “unquestionable strength and authority,” and her dynamic presence has won praise from audiences and critics internationally, with engagements spanning five continents.

TSO President Dick Ammerman said in a press release that Ioannides’ “spectacular debut” with the orchestra last February made a deep and lasting impression on the board, orchestra and patrons. “We are looking forward to a fruitful partnership that will take the TSO to new heights of artistic vibrancy and community engagement.”

Ioannides was equally effusive about her new appointment.

“The Tacoma Symphony Orchestra found a way into my heart in February 2013. The experience we had making music together was very special that week. Not only did I find great chemistry with the musicians, but also felt at one with the audience that evening, and with the entire community during my weeklong visit.” She says she is excited to anticipate her future in Tacoma. “May we be part of the wave that brings music to more and more people’s hearts from all walks of life, and sustain the gifts of music through engaging live performances over the next decade.”

Ioannides says that her love for music started when she was a toddler. Her mother had to encourage her to go outside and play, as she was often glued to her gramophone listening to her favorite pieces.

One of her missions, she says, is to spark that joy and appreciation with other children. Along with her duties as conductor, she will be working to “invigorate the connection” between schoolchildren and the symphony. “The key is to find what sparks the kids’ interest,” she explained. “It’s about using music to bring out what already exists inside and help them to make a connection between their feelings and music.” We want to “convince them of why it makes a difference” to know and live through music, says Ioannides.

Ioannides’ initial contract with Tacoma Symphony Orchestra spans a full five seasons, beginning July 1, 2014. She is already at work with TSO officials in planning her inaugural season, which is slated to open on Saturday, Oct. 25, 2014.

mackinaw’s restaurant

545 N Market Blvd, Chehalis 360.740.8000

Mackinaw’s Restaurant is located in the heart of historic downtown Chehalis.

It’s a quaint little room inside the old hotel, with original brick-and-mortar walls and wood floors complementing classic Northwest décor.

Laurel Khan opened the doors just over seven years ago because, she says, “I found that as a woman I was always asked to make the salad, or craft the dessert. But to move into main courses I had to open my own restaurant.”

fondue, the cheese is shredded into warm beer, seasoned with Worcestershire, ground mustard and garlic, and cooked until it “feels right.” The fondue is served with crusted bread, apples and sausage.

The real treat is dinner itself. My date and I shared two. One was the spare ribs with orange bourbon sauce, scalloped potatoes, and roasted Brussels sprouts.

The potatoes are one of those special creations. Infused with thyme cream, they are uniquely peppery and light.

Our favorite dinner was Khan’s signature dish of “deconstructed” ravioli with chicken, a savory creamy concoction that melted in the mouth. Noodles line the bottom of the bowl, and cream sauce is added with lumps of ricotta, chicken My date and I started with homemade and seasonal vegetables. She makes the fondue and a bottle of Italian red. For the sauce every two days, uses a full bottle Khan has a talent for cooking meat and inventing courses. Mackinaw’s has a new menu every day, with locally sourced fresh food whenever possible, and sauces and dressings made in house.

of sweet Riesling (her favorite is Snoqualmie) and lets it simmer for almost two hours. Superior!

The evening ended down the hall in “The Man Cave,” Khan’s tiny bar with couch and television, where we finished our wine so blissfully full we could barely make conversation. Khan joined us and talked about her goal of creating milliondollar food and service in what she called “her neighborhood.” Patrons chimed in, all part of her extended family, to sing her praises and tell us their favorites.

When you visit, make sure you come hungry. Consider making a day of it and check out the antique shops, Mt. St. Helens tourist spots or even the Chehalis Steam Train before you stop at Mackinaw’s for a meal. It’s well worth the trip. SARAHJOY SMITH 19

spring trends— fresh and refined After another dark, cold winter spent under heavy coats and extra layers, we can now look forward to the fresh trends offered by spring fashion. Spring is a time for upbeat changes and the time to breathe new life into a wardrobe that has spent the past few months hibernating.

The essential button-down shirt is back. This staple gets a makeover, sporting collar and cuffs in a contrasting color or texture. If you are seeking a top that is less structured than a button-down but more sophisticated than a T-shirt, the shift blouse promises not to disappoint. Its elbow-length sleeves and boxy silhouette provide an easy fit.

As we look ahead to what is new, a few familiar fall items will remain, though revamped for the season. The color palette For a complete look that is modern and refined, combine will become more vibrant, awakening the senses with pastel your favorite top or outerwear with another spring trend: colors such as minty greens, lilac and baby blues, along with wide-leg trousers. contrasting colors and textures.

saving for retirement It’s never too late to start saving for retirement, says Blair Sexton, financial adviser for Edward Jones in Puyallup. He gives this general advice for every client regardless of age or gender:

design, style & wellness

• Start saving as early as possible.

• Work with a financial adviser.

• Address your risk tolerance.

• Be prepared for market fluctuation.

• Always keep in mind that wealth isn’t created overnight.

For a typical 45-year-old, Sexton says a diverse and healthy financial portfolio would be balanced throughout many asset classes. “What is diverse for one may not be appropriately diversified for another. Every situation is unique and a financial adviser can help you navigate what is right for you.”

Financial advisers Thomas “Blake” Burrill and Greg Lone agree about starting retirement planning as early as possible. “The most powerful tool ever invented is the time value of money,” says Burrill, who has more than 10 years of experience in taxes and four years in the investment and insurance industries. “That being said, if you are 45 and Burrill and Lone also advise looking at retirement plans ofjust starting your retirement planning—don’t worry, it’s not fered through your employer.

the art of living

healthy balance vital for caregivers

Providing care to a loved one can be both challenging and empowering. Whether that loved one is a spouse who is sick or disabled, an elderly parent or young children, caregivers can often find themselves overwhelmed.

Caring for another individual is a full-time commitment and often requires the caregiver to leave a full-time job or make special accommodations. Caregivers may sacrifice more than just a career; they may forgo social activities and time with friends and even neglect their own health needs. According to Kathleen Boswell-Gregg, chief quality officer at Capital Medical Center in Olympia, a healthy balance is vital for any caregiver. This means asking for help from those around you when you need it.

design, style & wellness

“Don’t turn down any offer to help,” advises Boswell-Gregg. “If friends or family members offer to run an errand for you or stay with your loved one while you step out for a little while, let them help. This is one of the most important things a caregiver can do to relieve stress.”

Boswell-Gregg also emphasizes the importance of maintaining one’s health. “Whatever it takes to stay mentally healthy—you have to be a whole person to take care of others,” she says. This includes physical and mental health. If leaving the house is too difficult, encourage visits from friends. Even a few minutes of socializing can make a difference in the life of a caregiver. Also crucial, she says, is doing your best to maintain healthy eating habits, as well as getting adequate exercise.

Maintaining financial health, too, is important when acting as a caregiver. Boswell-Gregg suggests speaking with a financial adviser to ensure that financial needs are still being met, to avoid undue stress later on.

Kathleen Boswell-Gregg will be discussing these tips and more at the South Sound Women’s Day on March 22, 2014. For more information please visit southsoundwomensday.com. ANDREA LERUM

Can Your Loved One Benefit From An Easier Lifestyle?

To help determine if you or a loved one could benefit from moving to a retirement community, answer these few questions below.

1. Do you worry about Mom or Dad’s safety?

2. Does your Mom or Dad snack instead of eating balanced meals?

3. Is house keeping and yard work becoming difficult for Mom or Dad? If you answered YES to any of these questions it may be time to consider moving to a retirement community.
