Congratulations to... cover artist Dina Houston

About Dina

Ar t is…

The world! Life! Nature! Communication bet ween us! Sometimes people underestimate the value of emotion conveyed in an ar tistic piece. How does it make you feel? What does it make you think about? Ar t is in ever ything: music, dance, writing, nature, a laugh or a thought materialized

What inspires you?

Describe the inspiration behind your cover ar twork?

I believe that women are ver y power ful. Women's intuition is underrated in my opinion We exer t an energy and it's up to us if we put off positive or negative energy Colors do affect mood and I wanted this to be a color ful, vibrant piece that has flowing energy. This piece should inspire us to let the positive energy flow.

I've always loved abstract, cubism and surrealism in ar t I am inspired by ar tists such as Picasso, Van Gogh and Dali I also love Escher and his mathematic and illusor y ar t. I am intrigued by a regular object being altered and shown in different view. Ar t is more than just painting a beautiful picture. As a child I was amazed by movies such as "The Wizard of Oz," "Willy Wonka," "Alice in Wonderland" and Dr Suess I was mesmerized by not only the colors and fantasy aspect but the brilliance behind each fantastic creation I pull a lot of my ideas and inspiration from these childhood memories. I also paint a lot of what I call "Energy Trees." I think that trees are majestic and full of life force. In this piece, I've attempted an energy orb I'm currently working on techniques that make an object look like it's glowing from within and full of energy Energy is in ever ything and we are all connected

Your biggest suppor ter(s):

My biggest suppor ters are my family and friends I get a lot of positive affirmations through Facebook

Why you read glo:

I picked up my first glo years ago because of the beautiful cover ar t. I was fur ther intrigued to find it was a woman's magazine that featured local inspirational women I usually flip through ever y page of glo I especially like the "To Do" area and enjoy other par ts such as the featured woman ar ticle. The colors are so beautiful and it is ver y visually appealing.

Festival Hair Don’t Care:

Fun St yles for Festival S eason

By Shannon Rooney

Festival season has dawned and so has festival st yle That means long skir ts, crop tops, sunnies and hats for the long days outdoors. Hair is easily done up or down with the addition of a hippie-st yle flower crown, but that trend is waning. Festival hair is getting more fun as the st yle develops and more people tr y it each year.

“ You used to see a full head of curls and now it ’s more contemporar y looks, ” said Susie Beer, owner at 5 Elements Salon in For t Wayne Her clients are requesting styles with braiding and messy k nots that result in “a soft, messy look ”

This lax approach to hair makes many styles easy to DIY too From rainbow hair to hot accessories, we’ll tell you what ’s in this season

Be a Unicorn

Embrace your inner unicorn with rainbow hair

This trend has been popular for the last year or so and both women and men are incorporating a mani-hued look into their festival style Tr y a mix of pastels in large chunks seafoam green, pink, baby blue and lavender If you’re ner vous about dyeing, beauty suppliers offer plenty of temporar y options. Use a mix of colored rinses or, for a look that only lasts a day or two, a colored spray.

Long Live the Messy Bun

How would we beat the heat without the messy bun? The principals are simple: toss your hair atop your head and fix with elastics and pins. To add interest for your festival look, braid the locks at the bottom of your mane before bringing your hair up into a bun The braid will show in the back once your hair is up The half-up top-

k not is also popular this season as a modern take on a ‘90s favorite I t harkens back to the grunge look Hold in place with one of this year ’s metallic barrettes to keep this style current

Braids, Braids Braids

Twisted locks are a mainstay of festival fashion. Keep yours modern with a messy look. Spray hair with a salt spray (available at beauty suppliers), let dr y then twist into your preferred braid Once braided, begin pulling shor ter strands from the center of the hairstyle Do this from your bangs to the tip of your braid until you’re surrounded by as many flyaways as you like Then spray with hairspray The result will be a messy boho look that you won’t have to worr y about falling out of place

Go Retro

Pay tribute to Woodstock, the origin of all festival style, with a retro ‘60s look This style works for both straight and curly hair Just par t your locks severely down the middle and top with a hair accessor y that falls to the middle of your forehead. Tr y a decorative elastic headband, a traditional bandana or a simple leather string. You can add a charm or cr ystal that falls onto your forehead for flair Slip a few tiny braids into your par ted hair on each side for ex tra hippie effec t a

The bombing of Pearl Harbor on Dec 7, 1941, changed American life dramatically The United States government instituted the militar y draft, requiring men to leave their home and jobs to fight in Europe, Asia and other locales around the world. The need for men to ser ve overseas created vacancies in many offices and fac tories. Desperate to fill those vacant jobs, the American government urged women to go to work glo celebrates these brave, amazing women

Ruth Cooper, a native of Marion, N C , was intrigued at the thought of enlisting in the newly created Women's Army Auxiliar y Corps “I t didn't terrify me as much as it thrilled me," she said “I believed the good Lord intended me to be a soldier ” In 1943 Cooper was assigned a clerical position at Kelly Field in San Antonio Her rank of sergeant earned a salar y of $78 a month At the end of the war Cooper married a fellow soldier named Bill Lick ing They opened a menswear store in Bluffton, where they raised a family.

Lucille Clarke of For t Wayne joined the Navy and per formed secretarial work for the legal depar tment at Clinton Ok lahoma Naval Air Station Clarke’s parents were not happy at her enlistment. “I had been alone among my friends in choosing to enlist," she said “But patriotism was impor tant to me as all three of my brothers were ser ving ”

Eileen Stuckey Zeissig of Decatur was a 20-year-old student at Lutheran Hospital School of Nursing in For t Wayne when the war began She finished school, then enlisted in the Army and nursed injured soldiers in England, France and Germany In June 1946 she was discharged at the rank of first lieutenant

Barbara Powell

Barbara Powell of For t Wayne had already worked as a nurse for three years at Newton Wellesley Hospital in Massachusetts when the war began. After enlisting with the Navy, Powell was assigned to Boston Harbor Hospital. “ Wounded people were brought in from ships around the world," she said. “ The war was ever y minute of ever y day.”

Closer to home, Ruth Austin of For t Wayne was the eldest of a large family when she volunteered to join the Cadet Army Nurse Corps after graduating from LaGrange High School in 1942.

“I saw it as an oppor tunity for me to fur ther my education for nursing school," she said Austin received training to work during the war at Methodist Hospital in downtown For t Wayne.

While these and other women who were par t of the American militar y could write letters to family and friends, describing their duties, Lorraine Hook Davis of For t Wayne was restric ted. She worked as a SPAR (‘Semper Peritas always ready ’) in Boston with the Coast Guard. “I was assigned to the communications depar tment," she said. “ We dealt with cr yptography, which meant we

sent and received coded messages We couldn't tell anyone what we worked on ”

Evelyn Beckman Brown of For t Wayne was thrilled to ser ve as a secretar y in the Coast Guard “I loved militar y life and ser ving my countr y," she said When the war officially ended in September 1945, Brown, like many troops at home and overseas, remained in the militar y for several more months. She typed her own discharge papers on June 20, 1946, having ser ved 15 months and 12 days. a

Alaina S tellwagen

By Lauren Caggiano | Photo provided

If struggles make us wiser, then Miss Alaina Stellwagen is wise beyond her years. The May 2017 graduate of Concordia Lutheran High School has had her share of trials, par ticularly regarding her health.

The former athlete and standout student was diagnosed with Crohn’s disease in 2015 Crohn’s disease is a chronic inflammator y bowel disease (IBD) charac terized by inflammation of the digestive, or gastrointestinal (GI) trac t Prior to diagnosis, she had been losing weight and experienced ex treme fatigue She k new something was wrong, but wasn’t sure what underlying condition was to blame

Although the diagnosis was unpleasant in and of itself, it was the waiting with no real answers that was perhaps more painful

“I had (a variety of ) symptoms and no one connec ted them (to Crohn’s), ” she said about her medical journey

Finally, she was able to get the care she needed at Lutheran Hospital She was hospitalized for a week, as her system was hit hard by the condition In fac t, as she put it, she was close to death when she was first admitted

Life threw her another cur ve ball in August 2015 She barely had time to recover from the trauma, when, as she was running crosscountr y on Spy Run Avenue, she was struck by a car The blow injured her brain, which deterred cognitive abilities Even so, this self-described per fec tionist said her grades didn’t suffer per se, although she felt behind at times In her words, “things were pretty tough for a while ”

Still, being the comeback k id she is, she was able to bounce back to her cheer y self The road hasn’t been easy “I t has changed who I am as a person, ” she said, adding that it has made her realize what she can and cannot control

And that attitude has ser ved her well, as others have taken note Stellwagen has been awarded the prestigious Lily Endowment Community Scholarship Ever ything seemed to “fall into place” because of the scholarship, she said This program offers four-year, full-tuition scholarships to Indiana students who intend to work toward a baccalaureate degree at any accredited public or private college or university in Indiana. Stellwagen has plans to attend DePauw University in the fall, where she will study communications.

But before she begins that impor tant chapter, she’s headed to Germany this summer for a month on a cultural exchange. We hope her trip is just as wunderbar as is she. a

Water Fun

Living the lake life is hard, but somebody ’s gotta’ do it. With so many lakes nearby, water adventures abound. Take the laz y route and rent a pontoon boat for a day or, if you’re look ing for more of a challenge, canoe, k ayak or test your balance with stand-up paddle-boarding SUP, as it ’s k nown among fans, is easier than you might think, said Jake England, owner of The Lake House on Winona Lake “ The advice I would give for a beginner is ‘don't be afraid to give it a tr y!’ I t's ver y easy and we will walk you through ever ything before just sending you out in the water Give it a tr y and I bet you fall in love with it, ” he said. The Lake House also offers pontoon and k ayak rentals, including double k ayaks. Nearby Chain O’Lakes State Park also offers watercraft rentals and boat launches along with a gorgeous dose of nature

If you’re seek ing a thrill, check out one of our local water parks. Splash House in Marion and Kokomo Beach Family Aquatic Center cater to the whole family. Both offer water slides, pools for all ages and the all-impor tant concession stand for hungr y swimmers

Lace Up

Dr y land is no less adventurous. Hik ing, backpack ing, camping, and bird-watching all of these ac tivities are low in cost but score high on the fun scale All offer oppor tunities for fresh air and exercise and, for some, all you need are the right shoes

With more than 85 parks, playgrounds and nature preser ves, the For t Wayne area is made

for nature lovers For great hik ing, check out the For t Wayne Regional Trails Network The network consists of 90 miles of multi-use trails, including more than 60 miles of interconnec ted trails, in the greater For t Wayne area. Beginner hikers may enjoy the Pufferbelly Trail, which takes hikers through rural, suburban and urban areas along its soon-to-be 13-mile stretch.

Most hik ing trails, but especially those with lots of trees, offer great bird-watching. If you’re interested in delving into this pastime, you won’t need much equipment. Most birders simply carr y a camera, a pair of binoculars and a guide to local birds Tree-lined paths, water ways or even your back yard birdfeeder attrac t local birds, often including hummingbirds, the American robin and Indiana’s many birds of prey

Camp Like a Champ

Do you dream of sleeping under the stars? Camping is just your game Both tent and R V camping are offered at area campgrounds A simple Google search will turn up a list that includes the Johnny Appleseed Campground run by the parks depar tment, as well as campgrounds on area lakes Or, escape from it all at Beside Still Waters, a historic rental cabin in Spencer ville Bring some cocktail fixings and watch the stars by the campfire

Be sure to check them out.

Fast F lyin’

You often see ziplining in exotic places, as excursions on a cruise or over a famous body of water But our amazing region boasts ziplining fun that rivals those experiences. You’ll see the sights, feel the wind in your hair and, perhaps best of all, there’s no experience required.

Just make sure you are healthy, said Jonathan and Olivia Kline, owners of Zip Timber Lake in Huntington, which offers “high adventure tours”

that include ziplining They have a health checklist on their website: ziptimberlake com Tours include ziplining, aerial bridges and the option to experience a rock climbing wall, three lake ziplines and the company ’s signature “Sk y Hook ” This attrac tion takes you up 70 feet for a 1,000foot zipline descent. Adventurers feel “like [they] are flying, but in full control, ” said Olivia Kline.

Afraid of heights? They ’ve got you covered, too “ We have a number of people par ticipate who are afraid of heights, ” said Olivia Kline. “Once they experience the first line, they usually don’t want to stop. Our guides are trained to help and encourage those wanting to overcome their fear, and this is one of the best ways to do that!”

We recommend topping off this experience with a trip to a local brewer y or winer y for food and libations. Check out visitfor twayne.com for a list of local breweries that will indulge you in a summer brew. The website also has a list of wineries that includes Countr y Heritage, Har tland Winer y, Two-EE’s and Satek Wineries They offer tasting flights and pairings galore Locally corked rosé?

With this in mind (and before you reach for that fifth cup of coffee), tr y fighting fatigue with the following tips:

Mind

Don’t Snooze. Hitting it over and over sets the tone for a laz y day

Get Some Sun. Bright light ramps up brain frequencies and triggers serotonin and dopamine

Turn Up the Tunes. Music helps release dopamine, which helps regulate emotions and motivation.

Take a Cold Shower. Awful, but effec tive

Be Social. I t ’s hard to zone out when interac ting with others.

Change Routine. New experiences help keep the mind sharp and focused

Wear Red. This color has been proven to lift your pulse rate

Relax. “ We need more than just sleep, ” said Amber Quinn, natural hormone balancing specialist and owner of BeBalanced. “Relaxation therapy is impor tant to turn the brain off. This resets cor tisol levels and helps with insulin levels as well ”

Mind • Body • Diet • Soul

By Erin Dozois

Ever ything you do is infused with the energy with which you do it If we’re frantic, life will be frantic. If we’re peaceful, life will be peaceful. - Marianne Williamson

Tired of waking up exhausted? You’re not alone Studies show that only one in 7 Americans rise and ac tually shine For t y-five percent of those getting the recommended 7 to 8 hours of sleep still repor t spending half the week feeling drained.

“ The food we eat, the people we’re around, the thoughts we think, the beliefs we hold each holds a vibration that impac ts the level or type of energy we experience, ” said Jess Kellenberger, owner and instruc tor at SoyeZen Yoga & Ar t of Life “ This ‘energy ’ is ac tually understood in quantum physics as vibration The vibration we interac t and come in contac t with, consume, listen to, etc , is going to impac t the ‘energy ’ we feel in our bodies Even our thoughts and emotions have a vibration ”

Body

Star t with Stretches. Relieves tension from the previous day

Exercise in the A.M. Revs up your body to face the day ahead.

Work Those Pressure Points. Stimulating acupressure points improves energy and circulation

Get Up and Move. Fitting in physical ac tivity ever y half-hour fights mental and physical fatigue

Hormones Hormones need to behave and get back in line. “ The minute hormones are lined back up, fatigue star ts to go away, ” Quinn said. “Fatigue, low energy, midday crash these are all signs of hormonal imbalance, ” she said. “ We are a nonmedical approach to natural hormone balancing; our produc ts are 100 percent natural to bring hormones back without any risk y side effec ts ””

Check Your Thyroid An underac tive thyroid can lead to weight gain and energy-sapping depression.

Diet

Drink Water. Hydrating is cheap and easy

Don’t Skip Breakfast. Studies show that breakfast helps keep you aler t and revs up your metabolism.

Eat Protein. I t provides the body with fuel to repair and build tissues

Keep Your Carbs Smar t. Choose whole grains and avoid sweets, which cause energy to plummet

Don’t Be Afraid to Snack Keep your blood sugar and energy levels consistent by grazing throughout the day.

Omega-3s are Your Friends. Studies show they reduce inflammation, fight depression and improve mood and memor y

Getting Enough Magnesium? This mineral conver ts carbohydrates into energy

Make Sure You’re Getting Enough Calories. O ther wise your metabolism tanks and leaves you lethargic.

Soul

Quit Comparing. The stress of living up to others’ expec tations will drain you

Erase All Negativity. Eliminate bad habits, routines or unsuppor tive people.

Learn When to Say No. Being ever ything to ever yone is impossible so don’t stress it

Speak Your Mind. We lose energy when we tr y to conform Have convic tion in yourself and your beliefs

Less Is More. Tr ying to focus energy on too many things results in exhaustion and poor performance. a

Balancing Life’s Oblig ations

By Deborah C. Gerbers

Driving kids to and from prac tice, going to work, making a decent dinner for the family, shuttling them to doc tor ’s appointments, tr ying to squeeze in a workout, and all the while tr ying to run a household… Whew! We sure do have our hands full, don’t we? It ’s a miracle we can keep it all together, both literally and emotionally But there are some helpful things to keep in mind while tr ying to balance it all.

“Mak ing priorities in our life depends on two things: the ability to do so and the willingness to do so, ” according to Stephanie Furnas, licensed family therapist with Hand In Hand Comprehensive Therapy Specialists Inc

“ The first is our ability to prioritize If we live in an environment that is not emotionally safe or physically safe then focusing on balance will not be a priority The other is willingness Having the ability and saying you want a balanced life is one thing, while doing it is another There are so many pressures placed on us, either by others or ourselves, that mak ing balance happen can be difficult We need to be committed to make this happen ”

Answer the Why

Furnas suggests first identifying the reasons you are choosing to balance your life and make it your own goal (not another person’s), establish a plan, and find a suppor t person or persons to help keep you on track

“ Tangibility is our friend when it comes to tr ying to determine and maintain balance, ” she continued “I would recommend identifying those areas that are impor tant to you for balance (family, friends, physical, spiritual, emotional, work) and assign the ideal percentages you would like for each to have Then identify those ways that you are currently honoring the balance for each and finally note those strategies you need to work on in each As circumstances change (i e summer vacation), create new strategies ”

Emotional Health

Balance assists us in having better mental health and therefore happier lives, Furnas explained “Our emotional health spills into ever ything we do When we are happier it leads to happier relationships around us. In addition to healthier relationships, it makes a healthier you so when

Resource:

life’s struggles come your way, you have enough emotional assets and you are in a better position to handle them ”

Furnas says many times we are our own worst critics. “ We tell ourselves we should do more or be more, when the reality is if we slow down long enough and identify what we are already doing then we realize we are pretty darned awesome already ”

Allow Imper fec tion

“Give yourself permission to not be per fec t, ” she said. “ When we live a balanced life, we are then modeling a balanced life and hopefully passing this gift along to our children and others whom we love ”

With this advice in mind, plan your time this summer around ac tivities and goals that are realistic V isit family members, go to museums and the zoo, spend quality time at the pool or lake with the k ids, and share low-key date nights with your spouse amidst the daily chaos Be realistic and embrace these times a

Show some skin.

Want healthy, glo(w)ing skin? Here’s how.

5. Generically Speaking

By Cathy Shouse

We sometimes get caught up in finding the latest concealer or that knockout swimsuit only to neglec t the condition our skin is in But our best beaut y asset is dew y skin, which is truly priceless and can’t be bought in a bottle or off the rack. There are no shor tcuts.

K ate Sedlaczek ARNP-C of Forefront Dermatology shared her 9 top secrets for a routine that nur tures glowing sk in

1. In Pursuit of Hydration

Drink ing lots of fluids is always good for sk in. A hydrated body can detox better, especially if you add a few glasses of water with lemon juice first thing in the morning.

2 Good Night, Moon

Washing your face at night is impor tant. See the night as recover y time for rebuilding the pH and oil stripped the night before. Exfoliating once a month is ok ay, but if you use retinol produc ts, exfoliating is not necessar y retinols are great daily exfoliators.

3 Hello, Sunshine

Sunscreen for your face should be at least 20 SPF, and it ’s not the SPF number but the frequenc y of application throughout the day that ’s imperative. You need to reapply ever y 2 hours, so if you wear makeup, get SPF mineral powder and reapply.

4 Skin Culprits

Dull sk in on your face can have several causes, but the most common ones are sun damage, dr yness and excessive dead sk in.

Most people have mixed sk in, so it ’s a personalized formula, but in general wash once at night, moisturize twice a day, and if you are prone to breakouts use non-comedogenic sk in produc ts

6. By the Numbers

Adolescence: on the face use non-comedogenic produc ts to help regulate oiliness.

Ages 20-30: use mineral makeup produc ts, use retinol and V itamin C serum produc ts

After menopause: in addition to V itamin C and retinols, use collagen-rich produc ts (serums are always better) If you are concerned about deep lines, Botox and fillers are good choices

7 Best Anti-Aging Tip: Stay out of the sun, or at least keep your face and neck protec ted.

8. Common Skin Conditions: acne and rosacea

There are great tools to help patients with these conditions There are new produc ts that help both conditions, so instead of self-treating at home, make a habit of befriending your dermatologist

9. Reality Check

Even in a per fec t world and with excellent sk incare, we will have breakouts, redness and occasional sunburns Sk in is our biggest organ and also a ver y complex one Many things will affec t its health: jobs indoors or outdoors, sleeping and eating habits, stress, spor ts, hormonal changes, body responses to inflammation, genetic components and microbiomes living on our sk in. I t ’s really hard to generalize so the impor tance of having a dermatologist who is your friend and par tner in sk incare cannot be overstated. a

As We Age: M e

n t a l H e a l t h

By Barb Sieminsk i

Keeping a positive outlook on life is essential to good mental health, no matter what your age. We’ve chatted with Kathy Palyo, R.N., M.S.N., D.N.P. of Lutheran Medical Group and Trac y Hershberger, M.S., L.M.H.C.A. of Headwaters Counseling for ideas on coping with life’s ups and downs as we grow older

• The 20s and 30s “Develop friendships, take time away from technology, develop a career path and get to k now who you are while still young, ” recommends Palyo “I would first say that living a healthy mental life is always a work in progress no matter what stage of life, especially for women No matter whether a woman is in her 20s or 70s, utilizing a suppor t network is an impor tant fac tor in mental health. In early adulthood, women go through relationships, possibly motherhood, new careers, etc., that have a major emotional impac t, ” said Hershberger. “As a woman in my 30s, I have been able to identify the people in my life who have been there and trust will continue to be there for me when I transition in my various life stages ”

• The 40s: “Build your social and suppor t network that passes no judgment on you as an individual, ” continued Hershberger “Having the courage to ‘be you’ is wonder ful, and so is building a legac y for women younger than ourselves This is true as well when k ids move out of the house, losing loved ones, experiencing body changes and getting ready for retirement.” Palyo added, “Don’t forget to make time for yourself away from work; enjoy family time, develop hobbies for retirement and organize your life/finances ” Resources: Headwaters Counseling, For t Wayne, 260.744.4326, headwaterscounseling.org Lutheran Medic al Group, For t Wayne, 260 432 2297, lutheranmedicalgroup com

• 50s, 60s, 70s and better: “Stay socially ac tive, maintain friendships, keep your mind ac tive (reading, new hobbies, learn something new), take time to enjoy nature, spirituality and minimize possessions, ” noted Palyo. “Also, it ’s impor tant to get sleep, fresh air, stay ac tive, eat healthy fresh foods for all ages ” As Hershberger concluded, “Please prac tice self-care and do what you enjoy ; this can be learning a new trade or per fec ting a current one Laugh at yourself Forgive yourself Being mentally healthy is different for ever y individual and what makes you mentally healthy may need to be altered through the stages of life That is ok ay There is no per fec t answer We’re always changing and always learning ”a

“Smart About Style

T HE DECK

The Atmosphere

By Sue Rawlinson

Does it get better than dining by the water? Me thinks not While it ’s not like dining oceanside, it ’s waterside dining smack-dab in our fabulous For t Wayne right on the St Mar y ’s River downtown Outdoor dining and drink ing? Yes, please

The atmosphere at The Deck is just happy fun There’s a nice mix of added relaxation being waterside, and the fun, decorative accents, gazebo and its hopping ‘tik i’ bar create an almost vacation-esque scene Add in its upbeat music to fur ther add fun ambiance, and you’ve got a destination spot to dine

The Food

From a lunch crowd to late night fun in the For t, The Deck is rock ing and alive One of the many restaurants within the Don Hall’s Restaurants, The Deck ’s menu offers various “samiches” (not a typo as per their menu) that come with a variety of sides, they offer a few dinner plates, big salads, snacks and “whatnot ” and a great variety of desser ts Yes, even the menu headlines provide peppy personality

Dining with my mother (visiting from Arizona), we both ordered salads M ine was the beef tenderloin; Mom’s was the pecan-crusted chicken Neither of us are big eaters, but we managed to happily devour our big salads (and they were big) Our lunch was a great value, both salads were beautifully plated and the food was tasty, too

While we did not visit the attached tik i bar (promise; it was during lunch hours), I’ve been told by many to tr y the bartender ’s Purple Haze drink I t sounds like a deliciously wicked concoc tion that will keep the For t ’s Uber drivers in business for the foreseeable future O f course, most any other drink preference is also available

The Staff

Br yce was our ser ver He was attentive, prompt, k ind and a complete gentleman He even smiled a lot AND, he was ex tremely polite to my mother All bonus points for a nice tip from yours truly Thanks, Br yce, for excellent care and attention a
