Happy November!

For many, the highlight of November is the Thanksgiving holiday Don’t get me wrong, I do love Thanksgiving, but right now, my focus is on midterm elections. If Election Day is not already on your calendar, be sure to put it in big bold letters: VOTE! TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 6.

The 19th Amendment, which granted women the right to vote, was ratified on August 18, 1920. While all of us have enjoyed this right our entire lives, the road to gaining this right was paved with struggle preceded by almost a centur y of hard work and tenacity

The movement for women’s rights was launched on a national level in 1848 with the Seneca Falls Convention organized by Elizabeth Cady Stanton and Lucretia Mott The demand for the vote became the centerpiece of the women’s rights movement after the convention Stanton and Mott, along with Susan B Anthony and other activists raised public awareness and lobbied the government to grant voting rights to women They marched They picketed They protested They were jailed They were abused THEY SUFFERED They fought for OUR right to have our voices heard

Today, on average, only 40% of eligible voters turn out for midterm elections A majority of eligible voters are opting out of the process and letting others make the decisions for them Now, more than ever, your voice matters I consider it a great honor to cast my vote each election day, and I hope that you do too, no matter which par ty you ascribe to or which candidate you suppor t. The impor tant thing is that you par ticipate.

Not only is it impor tant for women to vote, it is impor tant for them to run for office, as well Women make up 53% of the population and deser ve to be represented; yet at the state and national levels, they represent less than 25% of elected officials. Our main feature this month highlights local women running for local, regional and national office. Check out their stories and find out why there were inspired to run.

And, do mber 6!

Lydia Tremaine

Miss Indiana

By Shelley Galbreath | Photo provided

Lydia Tremaine, the reigning Miss Indiana, decided to sing Frank Sinatra’s “ That ’s Life” at the Miss America Pageant in S eptember and won the talent competition.

“My passion has always been to not only sing well, but also to tell a stor y to the audience they can relate to. I sang ‘ That ’s Life, ’ which is all about tr ying again when you have failed, ” Tremaine said “Ever yone has faced trials in their life, so I k new it would be the per fec t message ”

Achieving her goal of becoming M iss Indiana took perseverance. Last year, after 12 competitions, she made it to the competition but didn’t make it into the top 10 This year, she won the title

“I am proof that you should never give up on your dream. Even if you fail, tr y again!” she said.

Tremaine met her first M iss America (K atie Stam) when she was 11 years old, and she was instantly infatuated with the idea of getting involved.

“She (Stam) was the first and only M iss Indiana to become M iss America, ” Tremaine said. “She per formed her talent flawlessly, discussed how M iss America was the largest scholarship organization provider for young women in the world, and shared what a difference you could make through ser ving communities as a titleholder ” Less than a year later, Tremaine competed in her first pageant

As the first M iss Indiana to compete with the recent changes (no swimsuit competition) to the program, Tremaine said she is especially thrilled to make histor y with her M iss America sisters

“As someone who has struggled with my weight, being judged on my speak ing ability and my talent was a dream come true, ” Tremaine said.

Hearing her name called as the talent winner is Tremaine’s favorite memor y from the competition.

“I love to sing and per forming is what has made me who I am, and to do that on a national stage is exhilarating, ” she said “As the only pageant system with talent, it provides so many scholarships that I will be going to school debt free. Competing at M iss America and representing the Hoosier state was the dream.”

When Tremaine won M iss Indiana, she won a full ride to Trine University and $10,000 in scholarship. After her year of ser vice is over, Tremaine said she will pursue a major in education with a minor in music. Her dream is to teach middle school and direc t school plays. a

We made a few prototypes and eventually came up with a solid design to use My troop helped me put the beds together, and once they were finished, I delivered them to the DeK alb Humane Society ”

She plans to continue mak ing a difference within the Girl Scout community. “I star ted doing Girl Scouts in elementar y school, and it was amazing to be a par t of, ” she said ” I t taught me many life sk ills and I developed great friendships that I still have today!”

Fun Fac ts: Aside from her involvement with the Girl Scout community, Hannah keeps herself busy assisting the prep swim team at Autumn Ridge In the past, she has swum competitively for Carroll High School, and now in her senior year, she continues to stay involved with swimming at the Jackson R Lehman YMCA She is currently work ing at the YMCA as a lifeguard and swimming instruc tor for little k ids She loves being able to help the children learn how to swim With the little free time she does have, she enjoys spending time with family and friends a

The Rising Tide of Female Candidates

By Lauren Caggiano

Men dominate American politics, but more and more women are stepping up to show they have what it takes. S everal Nor theast Indiana women are tossing their hats into the ring for local, state and national offices. glo inter viewed a few female candidates to learn about their motivations for seeking public office.

Count y Commissioner

Therese Brown, incumbent allencount y.us/comm-therese-brown

You could say Therese Brown, who lives in Hunter town, is a veteran in local politics. A graduate of Bishop Dwenger High School, Brown entered the workforce direc tly after high school and star ted her career work ing in the Allen County Treasurer ’s O ffice

In retrospec t, Brown says that move positioned her for success

“Star ting where and when I did, gave me the oppor tunity to see where my sk illsets could be best utilized and where I could potentially gain new oppor tunities for growth in Allen County government, ” she said

Speak ing of oppor tunities, Brown says she’s thankful for the people in her life who have boosted her professionally For example, Gloria Goeglein ser ved as a mentor She was the Allen County Auditor at the time and hired Brown into that office in the finance division

“She was an amazing woman who felt a true convic tion to public ser vice, ” she said “She, by example, showed me that there is really no obstacle that cannot be overcome through perseverance and steadfast faith I t became apparent to me that my love of government in high school was a driving force in my desire to continue my employment with Allen County.”

All of this set Brown’s political career into motion She ran in 1994 and won the position of county auditor and ser ved for two consecutive terms She has also ser ved as the clerk of the Allen Circuit and Superior Cour ts for two consecutive terms.

Look ing for ward, Brown said she’d like to continue that trajec tor y.

“I believe that as a Commissioner (currently ser ving my second term), one has the ability to set in motion a vision for the future for our community, “she said. “Some things we do are ministerial but others, like assisting with projec ts like Elec tric Works, Downtown development and the Stellar Grant proposals for Eastern Allen County make me feel that we are on the right track in positioning Allen County for the future These types of things are what inspire me to run for office as one can visually see the outcome of the process “

A llen Count y Council, Distric t 1 Sharon Tucker, incumbent allencount y us/count y-council

Sharon Tucker wears a lot of hats mother, wife and entrepreneur and that ’s what makes her life full and rich She’s a For t Wayne native, born and raised on the southeast side She’s a graduate of Paul Harding High School and 2013 graduate of Indiana Tech. Tucker is married to Timothy Barbour, and together they raise their 15-yearold daughter, Teonna.

Professionally speak ing, there’s never a dull movement “For the past 28 years, I've been a licensed insurance agent in the commercial lines

insurance industr y, ” she said. “I am also the proud owner of Classy Shay Designs, where I create custom gifts, home decor and event decorations. Lastly, I have an online craft store, where I sell craft supplies for scrapbook ing and miscellaneous crafting needs ”

Tucker, an incumbent, brings that same level of enthusiasm to her political life.

“I ran for office the first time to be a voice for my community, ” she said “I continue to run because I see a need for strong leaders to speak on behalf of average men and women, those who are tr ying to maintain life.”

A llen Count y Council, Distric t 1

Kim Doster, challenger facebook.com/kimdoster forcount ycouncil/

Kim Doster is running for a seat on the Allen County Council, challenging incumbent Sharon Tucker Doster is a mother of three In talk ing to her, it ’s clear that she’s all about family and community Born and raised in Allen County, she currently lives in New Haven She is a licensed real estate broker associate for Centur y 21 Bradley

When she’s not at work, you can find her on the go and she wouldn’t want it any other way

“I attend Emanuel Lutheran Church, ” she said “I am a community-minded person who loves to volunteer and be involved I am on the board for the New Haven Community Foundation and also ser ved 6 years as a board member for Central Lutheran School ”

Additionally, she and her husband, Dave, enjoy attending various spor ting events and the oppor tunity to travel with their k ids

The common theme here? “I do not consider myself a politician but an advocate for the community and a voice for them by tak ing the time to listen to their concerns, ” she said, adding that she takes a common sense, conser vative and friendly approach

Indiana Senate Distric t 15

Liz Brown, incumbent indianasenaterepublicans.com/brown

An adopted Hoosier, Liz Brown’s introduc tion to Indiana came as an undergraduate student at the University of Notre Dame The rest is histor y, as they say

“I grew up in a large, hardwork ing family in Pennsylvania, ” Brown said “During my time at Notre Dame, I was on the fencing team and I got to k now a handsome boy named Steve (now my husband of 36 years; he's a cardiologist at Parkview) After I finished law school and he finished medical school, we were drawn to For t Wayne for its reputation as a great place to raise a family ”

Speak ing of family, Brown and her husband raised seven children and suppor ted their academic and ex tracurricular ac tivities More recently, she was a For t Wayne City Council Member from 2008 to 2011 and an adjunc t business professor at the University of Saint Francis In addition, she flexes her attorney muscles via a mediation prac tice.

What does mak ing a difference look like? To Brown, it has meant tak ing a common-sense approach and not being afraid to ask the tough questions while remaining as transparent as possible.

“I took that same approach to the Indiana Senate, and I've worked hard in the last four years to be for thcoming and use Hoosier common sense, ” she said.

U.S. Representative 3rd Distric t Cour tney Tritch, challenger tritchforcongress.com

A native of For t Wayne, Cour tney Tritch is passionate about bringing people from different backgrounds together to accomplish a shared goal That can apply to professional and political life Regarding the latter, Tritch said her upbringing has been instrumental in shaping her paradigm and political platform “ When I was a child, my parents taught me to always stand up for those who don’t have a voice, ” she said “I’ve carried this with me my entire life, and it has influenced both my career choices and personal relationships ”

The loss of her sister and mother more recently only fueled her desire to effec t change not as a constituent but as a candidate and potential legislator

“ Weighing the loss in my life with the political chaos in we’ve seen over the last two years, I decided it was time to make my voice heard, ” she said “I t was time to stand up for ever y resident of Indiana’s 3rd Distric t to create positive change based on long-term growth and economic equality, instead of creating policies based on fear and judgment of our neighbors ”

On a lighter note, Tritch likes to relax by reading, watching reruns of “ The Golden Girls, ” or checking out the ever-growing list of brand-new, locally owned businesses in nor theast Indiana

CBD

an

By Julie Young

It has been used to ease anxiet y and depression, alleviate aches and pains, reduce the risk of hear t disease and help with a wide range of other conditions It is loosely connec ted to its controversial cousin and is completely legal to buy in the state of Indiana. It has its champions and its skeptics, and while few studies have been conduc ted to prove its effec tiveness, some physicians say they have seen improvement in patients who have tried it It is cannabadiol (CBD), but is it too good to be true?

Maybe not According to Gregg Russell, with For t Wayne Custom RX, CBD is one of 85 cannabinoids found in the hemp plant, and while it is often confused with THC (the substance in marijuana that causes one to become high), they are two completely different biological species

“I t ’s like comparing a German shepherd to a toy poodle, ” Russell said. “ They are both dogs, but that ’s where the similarity ends.”

So why is ever yone so excited about CBD? Russell said it goes back to the 1980s when scientists discovered the endocannabinoid system, which exists in ever y mammal and affec ts a variety of different cells in the body. Researchers discovered that when the endocannabinoid system is modulated by these plant cannabinoids in animals, there were some improvements in the animal’s health

While there have been ver y few human studies conduc ted, the National Academies of Science, Engineering, and Medicine has found substantial evidence that Cannabis ( THC) is effec tive for the treatment of chronic pain in adults Russell said there is also moderate evidence that suggests it can improve shor t-term sleep disturbances in chronic pain

Top 4 Benefits

1 Stress Reduction and Mood Improvement

2 Sleep Support

3 Pain and Inflammation Management

4 Skin Care

“I t has been my obser vation that many patients are experiencing some pain relief, a reduc tion in anxiety, and an improvement in sleep from taking the CBD supplements, ” he said

Forms of CBD

Is there a downside? Perhaps, according to Russell, but the adverse effec ts appear to be minor There could be a drop in one’s blood pressure, light-headedness, dr y mouth, drowsiness and insomnia There also are repor ts of allergies, however it does not appear to be common Contamination can be an issue so it is impor tant to purchase your supplements from a reputable source so that you do not run the risk of buying a tainted produc t

“As a pharmacist, I am always concerned about drug interac tions THC can inter fere with blood thinners, anti-platelet drugs, and seizure medications and we have to be concerned that CBD may also cause these effec ts, ” he said “If you have any questions please talk to your pharmacist or physician ” a

Cannabadiol (CBD) is an ex trac t of the hemp plant that is used to treat a number of conditions including anxiet y, depression and a host of other conditions Although it is a distant cousin of the marijuana plant, CBD does not contain THC and cannot get you high It is also legal to buy and safe to use Talk to your doctor or pharmacist about CBD if you feel it might be right for you

• Tinctures a liquid form that can be taken orally

• Concentrates a highly concentrated form that may be taken orally

• Vape Oils a liquid infused with CBD for use in an e-pen or vaporizer

• Topicals infused lotions, balms and oils that are absorbed through the skin

• Capsules pills containing a powdered form of CBD

Tips for restarting your

By Barb Sieminsk i

Thinking about re-star ting your career?

Have you taken time off recently and decided to star t the process of re-joining the workforce? Here are few tips that may help

Stay relevant Do things to boost your selfesteem outside your career field so you’ll have more confidence going in for an inter view Look for connec tions to professional resources, both local and nationally Keep your sk ills current –read magazine ar ticles; make appointments with professionals in your chosen career field and find out what ’s new. Take an online course or sign up for class at your local university. Attend an industr y conference or a workshop. Do you k now someone in your field you could ask per tinent questions and get a feel for the lay of the land?

Rather than overlook the internet or social media, use both to your advantage. Many local jobs are posted online. The best day to apply for a job online is today When a job is posted, recruiters are set to review resumes as soon as they arrive Remember, it is the early bird that catches the worm There are many free apps and online ser vices available that allow you to set up

career

keyword searches and turn on notifications Take advantage of these

Leslee Hill of the Women’s Entrepreneurial Oppor tunity Center, advocated for speak ing with mentors

“O ftentimes we blind ourselves to possibilities, ” said Hill “ We also don’t k now what careers are even available Also, mingle – get out from behind your scaredy-cat mask and get to k now people in that field If you are think ing of star ting your own business, take sales training; ever y business owner must sell ”

Hill also suggested creating a list of how the career/business will operate For example:

A: Clients from 9 a.m.-2 p.m., 1 weekend a month, 1 night a month

B: Profit $5,000 per month

C: Individual clients are coachable, flexible and eager to change Corporate clients will hire me for 6 sessions at a time, 2 times a year at $1,000 each session Speak ing engagements hire me for $1,500/hour.

According to M ichelle Merritt, managing par tner of Merr feld Career Management, a good résumé is key

“A well-written résumé is critical to re-entering the workforce, ” said Merritt “ While many jobseekers fear that gaps in experience can be detrimental when seek ing new employment, the key is to highlight what you’ve accomplished during the gap.

“Focus on accomplishments achieved in volunteer effor ts or in continuing education By showing what you accomplished while away from the workforce, you demonstrate an ability to continue to develop your career and community, which is always valuable to employers.”

When meeting for a job inter view, don’t bring up the pay first Let them tell you in terms of star ting salar y, stock options, benefits and sign-on bonuses. That gives you an idea of where to begin. Keep in mind that companies expec t you to negotiate.

Finally, attitude is essential – walk in with a bright smile and a back pack of confidence. You’ve got this! a

Tips and tricks to feeling grateful

By Cathy Shouse

On our calendars, the month of November is etched with a significant square for Thanksgiving Day. Yet preparing the turkey, decorating the house and navigating the family dynamics sometimes causes us to lose track of the meaning: thankfulness

Most of us, if we stop and think, can find reasons to be grateful Exper ts say the effor t will reap many benefits, not only for us but for those we interac t with, as well

Marie DePree, MSMFT, is a minister of 17 years, a marriage and family counselor, an Ivy Tech College health instruc tor She founded Positively Me Youth Gatherings

“Each and ever y day that we are blessed with another day living, breathing and being able to enjoy life we should be just as thankful as if it were Thanksgiving, ” DePree said “Even though things may not be as we’d like them to be and we may want things to change, we can

be grateful that we have an oppor tunity to tr y again to help make a difference in the way things are ”

Sometimes thankfulness can be challenging like when DePree was diagnosed with cancer years ago

“I t was an ordeal for me, not k nowing what to expec t, and being a nurse that had taken care of many others with this disease, I had seen it all, ” she said “But I kept my trust in God; being grateful for His continued faithfulness to me ”

Alena Chapman an author, mentor and speaker, wrote “Gratitude: The Attitude Changer ” ebook

and journal Here’s her ritual to jump star t your thankfulness:

1. Get a new pad of paper and write at the top of the page, “I am so happy and grateful now that ” and number 10 things Really think about what you have listed and let the gratitude sink in

2. Take deep breaths. Do a shor t three to five minute meditation ask ing for guidance for the day or peace for the night ahead.

3 Send three people or circumstances that are bothering you some positive thoughts

“ Women tend to be self-critical and busy in their minds Stay in the moment, ” Chapman said “ Thankfulness keeps you into the present moment, which is ver y impor tant, rather than in the future or the past I t ’s tak ing the best par t of your life and moving on with that, which is the best par t about gratitude.” a

Fountain of Youth

By Lillian Wollman

I am soon to be a 70-year-old woman who has successfully made her living in the ever-evolving beaut y industr y I’ve witnessed the desperation in other women, and within myself, to maintain the youthful appearance we once possessed

There are countless procedures now available at a price to maintain or even temporarily reverse the effec ts of aging References to the all-desired fountain of youth date back to as early as the fifth centur y B C

We look to our mirrors and feel a sense of guilt for aging We see the young, shapely models and wonder, “ What ’s wrong with me?” The lessons we’ve learned, our many successes and our wonder ful attributes grant us little comfor t As we compare ourselves to others, to our younger selves, and to the image of what we think we should be, we ask ourselves, “How can this be fixed? How can we work on this?”

How? By saving ever y dime to fix it? I t ’s a viscous c ycle of fixing, correc ting and searching for faultless, flawless beauty I could have fed a third world countr y with the money I’ve spent combating, delaying, and bantering the natural aging process

In hoping to feel better about myself, I have made my own discoveries Respec t must come from the inside My value comes from look ing in the mirror and saying, “I love you ” Self-esteem does not come from others or from their approval I t must come from within me

There is a healthful balance in caring about physical appearance I t is good to feel groomed, moisturized and pampered; perhaps a little nip or tuck as one can afford it But, it is unhealthy to make it an obsession To allow the chase of the fountain of youth to become the paramount in our lives can be a shallow existence, an endless pursuit

One day I will pass on My physical body will have no more significance than the discarded cocoon from which the magnificent butter fly emerged My beautiful, vibrant, ebullient soul is my impor tance, my value, my gain and my greatest accomplishment My soul is beautiful, wrink le free and radiant

I’m totally done with the chase for my fountain of youth. Ok ay…. Probably not, but it is not my obsession I t is not the secret to my true beauty a

“Be thankful for what you have; you’ll end up having more. If you concentrate on what you don’t have, you will never, ever have enough”

— Oprah Winfrey

By Amber Bouthot

Tis the season to be grateful! Many of us look for ward to the Thanksgiving holiday and all of its traditions. But do you know where some of them come from or when they star ted?

Today, Thanksgiving is celebrated on the four th Thursday of November, but celebrations in the United States used to differ according to state. In 1863, President Lincoln issued a proclamation that all states will celebrate Thanksgiving on the last Thursday of November In 1941, Congress and President Roosevelt signed a joint resolution to change the holiday to the four th Thursday of November rather than the last, believing ex tending the Christmas shopping season would benefit the United States economy

Many cities hold large festivals or parades to honor Thanksgiving. One of the largest is New York ’s Thanksgiving Day Parade, which is currently called Mac y ’s Thanksgiving Day Parade. The parade star ted in 1924, and today over two million people attend the parade and millions more tune in to watch it on television

Thanksgiving dinner is usually connec ted to the feast of the pilgrims, but t ac tually began with the Puritans before coming to the New World The Catholic Church had declared various special days of remembrance, leading the Puritans to remove all the holidays and only celebrate Days of Thanksgiving this dates back as early as 1588, a few decades before he pilgrims landed.

Football has become a Thanksgiving tradition in many American households Ever y year since 1934, the Detroit Lions have played football on Thanksgiving.

While turkey has become the bird of choice for Thanksgiving dinners, this was not always the case. According to Histor y.com, for the first ever Thanksgiving in 1621, the Indians k illed five deer as a gift for the colonists, meaning venison would most likely have been the dish of the day.

Each Thanksgiving, the president of the United States pardons a hand-selec ted turkey, sending it to a farm where it lives out the rest of its days Many believe that President George H W Bush was the first president to grant such a pardon in 1989, but according to The White House, the tradition dates to Lincoln’s days a
