“I wonder what it would be like to live in a world where it was always June.” L.M. Montgomery

During the procedure you may experience sensations of pulling, tugging, mild pinching, intense cold, tingling, stinging, aching, and cramping at the treatment site. These sensations subside as the area becomes numb. Following the procedure, typical side effects include temporary redness, swelling, blanching, bruising, firmness, tingling, stinging, tenderness, cramping, aching, itching, or skin sensitivity, and sensation of fullness in the back of the throat after a submental area treatment. Rare side effects may also occur.

Title of piece: When In Deep Waters

Inspiration for piece:

When in deep waters, seeking and reaching for God’s light and presence will always bring us the only bit of hope we need to see the beauty in our hard times. It’s the only way to swim all the way to the surface and take that deep breath of peace and fresh air.

My specialty is usually custom requests from friends, family and the local community. This piece was simply inspired for a mermaid themed bathroom decor. With my work, I almost ALWAYS love to sneak God’s light in there somehow. Because I know that when I do, that piece will become extra special to someone.

cover artist Katie Schiek

Where do you draw inspiration for your artwork?

Just looking up. I try to seek God everywhere I go and He never fails to inspire me.

Who are your biggest supporters?

My husband, Greg, is my biggest supporter of all! He’s always pushing me to not give up and to keep doing what I love. He helps me to grow. I also am very blessed with SO many family members and friends who are all very supportive and encouraging. I honestly could probably use a lot more constructive criticism, haha!

Why do you read glo?

I love seeing the new, beautiful cover paintings, and I absolutely love supporting local artists and businesses. glo is a very positive and inspiring example of what the world needs more of!

Where else can we find your work?

My Instagram is @kt.flourish and my Facebook business page is Lilly Jo Art & Floral.

I have a little barn shop in Avilla called Flourish Market. On my Facebook and Instagram, I share when my pop-up sales are, as well as when I host DIY painting and floral classes. I sell paintings, signs, wreaths and so much more in my little shop. I hope to see you there sometime soon! a

From the executive editor

I am blessed to have some amazing fathers in my life—they’ve shaped me. I am who I am because of them.

There’s my dad, who was my greatest cheerleader, coach, teacher and more. He pushed me to succeed in all aspects of my life—always believing in me and arming me with the confidence to chase my dreams. And now, I get to watch him be a wonderful Pops to my two girls. What a gift.

There’s my Papa, who passed away in April 2011. Not a day goes by that I don’t think of him. Just today, as I wrote this, a cardinal landed on my back fence and I knew he must be thinking of me too. He was my person—the one who always got me; always loved me so much it seemed to hurt. I miss him the most in June—celebrating Father’s Day and his birthday without him seems unreal, even 8 years later.

There’s my father-in-law, who loves his grandchildren with his whole heart. He’d do anything for them, and we’ve come to count on him as our number one babysitter. To see our oldest daughter run to him with arms wide open warms my heart. I hope she has the same relationship with her Papa as I did with mine.

And last, but not least, there’s my husband and father to my girls. He’s strong, patient, kind, understanding, and so incredibly supportive it makes my heart swell. I didn’t think I’d get to be a mother. My husband gave me the greatest gift and his love for our girls and me is astounding. This month, let’s take time to pause and thank the men in our lives. Here’s hoping for lots of sunshine too! Xo,

Summer Footwear Trends

By Haiden Steingass

It may seem wild to think it is already the summer of 2019, but this season’s shoe trends are a bit more old school—think late ‘90s and early 2000s vibes like platform sneakers and animal print. So, whether you are hoping to channel your inner Carrie Bradshaw this summer, or simply find a few staples to add to your shoe shelf, here’s a look at what to expect this season.

Closed Toed Slides

We all have a pair of shoes that we leave by the front door because, well, they’re easy to slip on and off. But what if your go-to pair are the cutest shoes you own? Closed toed slides are exactly how they sound, resembling the shape of a slipper. They’re both classy and comfy, and this season, you’ll find them in nudes, pinks and animal prints.

Nude Sandals

Owning a pair of nude sandals is a saving grace come summer time since they can pair with rompers, sundresses and everything in between.

“The ‘naked’ strappy and minimal sandal in the nude/tan color palette is a huge trend this summer,” said Arika App from Self Love & Style. “These nude sandal styles include open, as well as strappy styles and the double strap buckle sandals.”

Buckle Style Sandals

In addition to simple slide-on sandals, buckle style sandals are a huge hit this season (the strappier, the better!). The best part about these sandals is that you can find a style at local stores for as little as $15, or you can decide to splurge a little on a pair that will last for years.

Animal Print

The beauty of this summer’s trends is the range of styles. You’ll see just as many nude flats as you will snake and cheetah-print sandals.

“The Carrie Bradshaw animal print shoes are making a comeback this season,” App said. “Animal print will be popular in all types of summer footwear: flats, heels and wedges.”

Flatform Shoes

Whether you’re rocking nude sandals, buckle style, animal print or a pop of color, you’ll notice everyone wearing “flatform” shoes this summer. Flatform style shoes are the thicker bottom styled shoes, giving you a little extra height without having to pull out your wedges. These will be especially popular in the casual and sport sandals.

What To Pair With These Styles

There’s nothing better than finding an adorable pair of summer sandals, but you may be wondering what clothing styles will look best with your new kicks.

“[In addition to slides,] this season it’s all about the rompers, jumpsuits, hats, ruffles, fit-and-flare/empire/wrap dresses, statement earrings and fun prints!” said Emma Marie Metcalf, Owner and Stylist at Lyn-Maree’s Boutique. “I am so excited about these trends that are wearable and comfy.” a

Sunshine Colors

While nudes are a timeless trend that we will continue to see in shoe styles this season, also be on the lookout for a pop of sunshine shades like reds, corals, hot pinks and yellows.

Summer Skincare

Keep your skin healthy all summer long

By Julie Young

Although summer is a season to kick back and relax, there is one thing we cannot afford to neglect – our skincare routine. When we expose more of our bodies to the elements, it’s important to guard against any potential pitfalls. We asked local experts about the most common summertime skincare concerns and how to protect ourselves from unwanted damage.

Sun Damage

Dr. Vindhya Veerula, MD, of Integrative Dermatology says sun damage is the number one issue during the summer months. For those using a sun-sensitizing medication, it is important to follow proper sun precautions by wearing a hat, and of course, using sunscreen.

“SPF 30 to 50 is the minimum requirement, although SPF 50 does have a slight advantage,” she said. “Make sure to apply sunscreen 10 to 15 minutes prior to sun exposure, and protect your lips with SPF lip balm, as well. It is also crucial to reapply sunscreen every two hours as it wears off.”

It’s also important to apply enough sunscreen. According to the American Academy of Dermatology, most people apply only 20 to 25 percent of the recommended amount.

“Most adults need one ounce (the amount in a shot glass) to fully cover their body,” Veerula

said. “You also want to make sure to use water resistant sunscreen if you will be spending time in the water.”

Other Seasonal Issues

Of course the sun isn’t the only issue our skin can be impacted by during the summer season. Because we spend so much time outside, our skin is prone to other problems, including allergic reactions to poison ivy and other plant based irritants, insect bites and exposure to chemicals like pesticides and chlorine. It is very important to guard against as many of these potential problems with appropriate repellants, cover up as much as possible and consult with an appropriate medical professional when issues arise.

“To help treat minor bug bites, we compound a popular over-the-counter lotion called Red Bug Remedy that contains a combination of topical antihistamines and hydrocortisone in a lotion,” said Greg Russell, Pharm.D, CCN, M.S. MTM,

owner of Fort Wayne Custom RX. “If you prefer to avoid DEET in your repellants, there are several all-natural options available in our pharmacy.”

Russell said it is important to maintain a proper diet and keep your skin hydrated with plenty of water.

“Eat foods high in Omega 3 fatty acids, such as salmon, or take Omega 3 supplements,” he said. “Skin is made up of collagen (so) for dry or damaged skin in need of repair, I recommend a high quality collagen replacement product. It has the added benefits of being good for your hair, nails and joints.” a

Sun exposure is the most preventable for all skin cancers, including Melanoma. You can have fun in the sun and decrease your risk of skin cancer.

Here’s how to protect yourself from sun exposure:

Seek shade Wear protective clothing Apply a broad-spectrum, water-resistant sunscreen

Get vitamin D safely Avoid tanning beds Use extra caution near water, snow, and sand

A yearly skin examination is always recommended as a preventative measure to skin cancer. Call (260) 423-2567 to schedule a skin screening appointment today!

A Passion to Serve

Sally Segerson is a local hero to many people in Fort Wayne. As founder of Street Reach for the Homeless, she works tirelessly to serve as an advocate for our city’s homeless, an often unseen and unheard population deserving of help and hope.

Although Fort Wayne continues to expand into an up-and-coming city with more housing, amenities and offerings, there is a constant, many times overlooked problem: homelessness. But there are people like Segerson who are fighting to help resolve this issue and bring more awareness to it with the efforts of her organization. Street Reach for the Homeless is her outreach initiative that advocates for and provides food and supplies to Fort Wayne’s homeless population.

“I have passionately advocated on behalf of those who are often unseen and unheard,” she said.

For years, Segerson has selflessly spent endless hours to help our homeless. She has worked with the Fort Wayne City Council and the mayor to provide the homeless with necessary basic supplies like bedding, meals, tents and clothing when needed. She recalled a recent example of helping find one particular homeless woman appropriate business attire for an upcoming interview.

“I’ll never forget that feeling, helping her prepare for a job interview—a step in the direction of bettering her own life,” said Segerson.

Despite having a full-time day job, she devotes two nights each week to hit the streets and meet with people in need of necessities. Armed with tents, food, sheets, blankets and clothing, she delivers hope and help in many forms to people living on the streets. Most area residents are unaware of the accurate number of homeless people in Fort Wayne due to the fact that a person who may sleep beneath a bridge most nights might have a floor or cot at times. Segerson fights to spread knowledge about this misconception and stresses the importance of seeing the larger picture.

“If someone has a medical condition or an injury that prevents them from working, they are forced to make choices about how their money is spent,” she explained. “If that person needs to pay their bills instead of their car payment, then they lose the car, are unable to work the job that pays the bills and thus suffers many levels of difficulty and struggle.”

Knowing the potential each individual possesses is key to keeping up the efforts to reach out to everyone in need. Helping people with tangible resources like shelter and food not only gives Segerson a sense of doing immediate good, but also helps them further their own success, overcome struggles and actively better themselves.

“The genuine thanks you see in someone’s eyes is one of the most rewarding things ever,” she said.

Shelby Waligora

Age: 16

By Stacie Ball | Photo by Mollie Shutt

DeKalb High School Junior Shelby Waligora certainly knows what it takes to create a world full of love and acceptance. Already, she is involved in many activities to help members of the community thrive, and she has plans to continue her philanthropic efforts in the future.

What activities are you involved in?

I have been an intern at the Community Foundation of DeKalb County since January. Through the Community Foundation, I am highly involved in DeKalb County Promise, which is a program designed to help promote education after high school with a 529 Career Savings Account. Baron Buddies is another program

I am involved with, where high school students are paired with elementary students to mentor them. I am happy to be a part of DeKalb High School’s New Tech, which opened a door to my involvement on the Dekalb Purdue Extensions Health and Human Sciences Advisory Committee.

How has New Tech helped you reach some of your goals?

New Tech is the reason I am able to do all of the things I am involved in and has given me a million opportunities for my future. Through real-life situations and critical thinking, New Tech has built my social, presentation, leadership and soft skills. During my sophomore year, I created a poster/infographic about what mental health survivors wished those around them knew about their mental illness. I named that project “The Silent Killer,” and my main goal was to show people that mental health cannot and should not be a stigma because it is extremely real. Through that project, I was asked to be the first high school student on the DeKalb Purdue Extensions Health and Human Sciences Advisory Committee.

How do you manage it all?

I have an amazing support system that contains Mrs. Schrock (New Tech English teacher), Mrs. Renier (New Tech director), Judy Sorg (Director of Community Foundation), Melanie Beer (office manager of Community Foundation), Matt Bechdol (president of board at Community Foundation), and most importantly, my mom. If it weren’t for their encouragement, I would not be where I am today. Both my phone and physical calendars have become my lifesavers by helping me organize all of the events and assignments I have every week.

Where do you see yourself in five years?

In five years, I see myself graduating from Purdue University with a psychology degree. I am hoping this degree will allow me to move a step closer to getting a career in adolescent counseling. I do plan to go back to school while I am working in the field to not only further my education, but also advance my career. a

Justin Clupper

By Hillary Knipstein |

by Zack Kittaka

Justin Clupper is the newly appointed executive director of Community Transportation Network, a non-profit organization providing dependable and efficient transportation to ensure that no one left is left behind.

Community Impact

“Transportation is a significant barrier for much of our city and county, and we are working hard every day to fill that gap,” Clupper said. In fact, he anticipates that CTN will provide over 100,000 trips this fiscal year, by the end of June.

CTN also supports the transportation needs of more than 75 other organizations, serving an extremely diverse range of transportation needs--from seniors needing access to dialysis treatments and preschoolers needing transportation to a field trip, to individuals with physical and intellectual disabilities needing a ride to work.

His Path

Interest in improving transportation might be in Clupper’s blood-his grandfather helped launch Whitley County’s transit program. However, his own path to CTN was a winding one.

A Columbia City native, Clupper returned to Northeast Indiana after a brief post-college stint in Indianapolis. He joined Young Leaders of Northeast Indiana, built a community of professional friendships, and fell in love with Fort Wayne (despite insisting that he couldn’t wait to leave during his teenage years).

While working at the Fort Wayne Museum of Art, Clupper used CTN’s services to provide accessible transportation options for museum events. Later, a connection invited him to join CTN’s board of directors. By serving on the board, he began to better understand the community’s transportation needs.

“Transportation isn’t a sexy industry, but it is something that I recognized as a real challenge in our community.” he explained. “ I’m proud to say that because of CTN, thousands have been able to stay in their homes longer, experience greater independence longer and live longer.”

After his board service, Clupper was tapped as CTN’s executive director. He has big plans. In the short-term, he is working with his colleagues to update CTN’s strategic plan and analyze data on usage and trends to determine how to best serve the community.

“We’ve nearly doubled our impact over the last two years, largely due to the closure of many private transportation providers,” he said. “We need to understand how our partners anticipate growing and what new service lines we should be considering.”

His Inspiration

When asked what inspires him, Clupper named a few things: “ My wife, Jessica, was a big encourager for me to pursue this position and has been my number one cheerleader! My kids, Caroline and Dean, inspire me to build this community to be better for them.”

Clupper is also inspired by the good he and his colleagues at CTN have done in the community and the potential to do even more. a

Ladies’ Day Out at the Lake

By Jaclyn Youhana Garver

Northeast Indiana boasts more than 200 lakes, and summertime is the perfect time to take advantage of all that lakescape. To help you plan, we’ve collected the best ingredients for a girls’ trip to your favorite lake.

WHERE TO STAY

It seems Hoosiers in this region all have a friend who knows someone with a lake house. If there’s no home to borrow through your group’s channels, turn to Airbnb or VBRO.com. If your group loves tent-sleeping, there are plenty of campgrounds to choose from, too. Check out the Lake James Campground in Angola, Blue Lake Campground in Churubusco or Pike Lake Campground in Warsaw.

WHAT TO EAT

No trip to the lake is complete without a picnic feast. Here are some simple, tasty side and sweet options to pair with your favorite grilled protein:

No Frills Pasta Salad

1 box (16 ounces) rotini pasta, cooked al dente and cooled

5 ounces mini pepperoni

3 string cheeses, cut in ½-inch rounds

1 pint cherry tomatoes, halved

½ cup black olives, sliced

¼ cup parmesan cheese, grated

1 bottle your favorite Italian vinaigrette dressing

Mix together all ingredients. Let sit for at least an hour.

Easy Southern Banana Cream Pudding

1 package banana cream-flavor instant pudding

2 ½ cups cold milk

30 vanilla wafers

3 bananas, sliced

8 ounces whipped topping, thawed

Beat pudding mix and milk with whisk for 2 minutes. Let stand 5 minutes. Arrange a layer of wafers along the bottom and up the sides of a 2-quart bowl. Layer with half the bananas; layer with half the pudding. Repeat each layer. Top with whipped topping, and refrigerate 1 hour.

WHAT TO DRINK

If you have more than three or four people, opt for a pitcher of your favorite cocktail. Nothing says summer like a caipirinha, the national drink of Brazil. Also, it’s ridiculously simple.

8 limes, cut in wedges, then halves

1 cup sugar

1 bottle cachaça*

Ice cubes

Place the lime wedges and sugar in the bottom of a pitcher. Using a muddler or the handle of a wooden spoon, crush and mash the limes to release the oils and juice from the rind. When they have been juiced and the sugar begins to dissolve, add the liquor and stir to combine. Fill lowball glasses with ice cubes, pour the cocktail over the ice and serve. Do not remove the pieces of crushed lime.

* You can find cachaça, a Brazilian white rum made from sugar cane, at most liquor stores. Sub vodka for a caipiroska. Sub white rum for a caipirissima. Sub sake for a caipisake.

GAME TIME

The key to a perfect lake house party game is something that doesn’t require too much brain power: You want to be able to giggle through it without missing anything vital. That’s why we love Apples to Apples and, for those who find hilarity in offensive things, Cards Against Humanity. For a visual take on these two verbal games, choose What Do You Meme? Telestrations (or the R-rated Telestrations After Dark) mixes the childhood game Telephone with Pictionary (trust us—this will be your new favorite game). a

Father’s Day Gift Ideas

By Lauren Caggiano

June means graduation parties, weddings and of course, Father’s Day. Show that special man how much you care with thoughtful gifts sure to warm his heart. After all, he’s done so much for you all these years, from your childhood right up to your adult years. Short on time or inspiration? Look no further than these options from local retailers:

For the Dapper Dad

Is Dad a fashion plate? He’ll love accessories from Will Jewelers. Enter Will Watches. They are all Swiss parts assembled in the U.S. and come standard with sapphire crystals and free battery changes for the life of the watch.

“These watches are great because we can actually engrave the backs with a special message

or important date for Dad,” said Hannah Scher at Will Jewelers. “When it comes to Father’s Day, customers always love customization and making the gift a little more special. We do our engraving in-store, so when you pick out the perfect watch for Dad, we can engrave it right here for you.”

Looking at a lower price point? Money clips, key chains and cufflinks are sure to make an impression. All of these options can match a man’s personal style, and they can be engraved with a special message.

Speaking of style, nothing says sophisticated like a pocket square. This accessory can add a dash of color and major style to any outfit. Christopher James Menswear in Covington Plaza has an impressive collection of pocket accessories from top-selling brands. The sales staff will point you in the right direction!

For the Guy Who Enjoys the Finer Things

Does Dad enjoy a nice cigar every now and then? Rudy’s Shop, across from Parkview Field, has a wide selection of premium cigars in a variety of sizes and flavors. Allow the fine people at Rudy’s to create a gift basket with goodies. He’ll love the sentiment. Riegel’s Pipe and Tobacco

Shop, via its three Fort Wayne locations, also carries an impressive number of cigar brands, pipes and accessories.

Nothing goes better with a cigar than a mixed drink. Cocktails, anyone? Look to home-grown success Three Rivers Distilling Co. for inspiration. They sell a variety of spirits, like bourbon, gin and rum, at local retailers. Visit https www.threeriversdistilling.com for a complete list.

For the Music Lover

Does Dad like Mo-Town? (Who doesn’t, right?) The Temptations are scheduled to perform at The Clyde Theater in November. This will be a show he won’t want to miss! Tickets will likely go fast, so be sure to secure them in advance online at clydetheatre.com/events.

Foellinger Theatre also has a summer lineup that includes nationally acclaimed artists and tribute bands. Visit fortwayneparks.org/facilities/ foellinger-theatre.html for a schedule and ticket prices. a

Saving for Summer Vacation

By Cathy Shouse

Summer is a favorite time of year, and a summer vacation can be the best time of all. Here are our experts’ money savvy tips and planning tricks for vacations.

“Preplanning is essential to a successful and less stressful, summer vacation,” said Mona Will, a veteran travel agent at Grueninger Travel. “I can’t tell you how many times someone calls us just days before they are ready to leave to ask us if we can find a hotel for them because they went online and either no hotels showed available or the prices were sky high. Chances are there is a convention or a festival in or near that area so hotels are full, restaurants are going to be packed, rides are going to have lines, etc.”

“Try to find places that offer a majority of what the family wants to do or see,” Will continued. “I remember traveling with our two-year-old daughter for the first time on a big trip. Before she was born my husband and I went to artsy places with boutique hotels and lots of restaurant options, and if there was a vineyard nearby, even better. We soon found out that as long as we stayed at a hotel with a snack machine, a pool and a television with the Disney channel, she was a happy camper.”

$Mona’s Money Savvy Trip Tips

• Don’t underestimate the total cost

• If resort meals aren’t prepaid, food can be 20%-30% higher than at home

• New York City will be 50% higher than Brown County, Ind.

• Research costs online, including museum and theme park admissions

• Consider a 5-day flight/hotel price versus 7-day

• Enjoy late afternoon meals and matinee movies for price savings

At Star Financial Bank, private banker Beth Martin assists with money matters for trips.

“We always tell customers, ‘Don’t carry a lot of cash,’” said Martin, whose personal favorite destination is Cabo San Lucas, Mexico. “Take a phone picture of your cards and record the account numbers in case something happens. Leave some back at the hotel, so if you’re robbed, you’re not going to be stranded.”

“Always have a back-up plan if the weather isn’t ideal,” said Will. “Depending on how far you travel, you may not have the option of packing up and driving home to where the weather is better than where you are vacationing. Also, if the price of your vacation is much higher than you had hoped, consider putting the trip on the back burner for another four to six months or even a year. That way you have a longer time to save for it and then you’ll be able to have the vacation you had imagined rather than a bare bones version.” a

Encouraging Men to Take Charge of Their Health

By Carly Thompson-Memmer, PhD Student

“But I don’t need to go to the doctor” says your husband, father or son. Despite wanting what’s best for our loved ones, men can sometimes be stubborn when it comes to seeking medical care for themselves. Fear, masculinity issues or even cost may be reasons why men are reluctant when it comes to seeing the doctor. However, just like a car needs to be maintained and have routine checks, so does your guy’s body to prevent bigger health problems from developing in the future. Encourage the men in your life to take charge of their health by doing the following:

Get Screened: Screenings look for and can find diseases before you even notice symptoms.

Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm

Who? Men between the ages of 65 and 75 who have smoked should get screened once for abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA).

Why? AAA is a bulging in your abdominal artery and it can burst, which can cause dangerous bleeding and death.

Screening: An ultrasound will show if an aneurysm exists.

Blood Pressure & Cholesterol

Who? All men should have their blood pressure checked at least once every two years. Cholesterol should be checked beginning at age 35 and then every five years if their level is normal.

Why? These are standard screenings that can help your health care provider identify any potential health concerns or problems.

Screening: A sphygmomanometer (that cuff around your arm) for blood pressure and a blood test for cholesterol.

Colon Cancer

Who? Men between the ages of 50 and 75. Why? Colon cancer is one of the most common kinds of cancer among men and the symptoms are not always obvious.

Screening: A stool test or colonoscopy are two options; talk to your doctor to decide which one is appropriate for you.

Diabetes

Who? Men who have high blood pressure or take medication for high blood pressure. Why? Diabetes can lead to problems with your eyes, feet, kidneys and other body parts if left untreated.

Screening: A blood test.

Hepatitis C Virus

Who? Men born between 1945 and 1965 and men who have ever injected drugs. Among those with Hepatitis C, 75% were born between 1945-1965. Why? Most people with Hepatitis C don’t know they have it and it’s a leading cause of liver cancer.

Screening: A blood test.

*Reminder: It’s a good idea to ask when you should expect the results from a screening and who you can discuss the results with. a

Girls’ Trip:

Michigan CityINDIANA

By Barb Sieminski

Make your next trip a nautical one!

Michigan City calls you to celebrate summer on the south shore of Lake Michigan. Visit Indiana Dunes National Park and see the East Pierhead Light Tower, one of the few functioning lighthouses in Indiana and also on the National Register of Historic Places.

Linda G. Simmons, CDME Director of Marketing for the Visit Michigan City LaPorte tourism bureau, waxes eloquent about her city’s attractions.

“Washington Park is a haven allowing visitors to enjoy Lake Michigan by walking the beach, sunbathing or capturing a breath-taking sunset,” Simmons said. “Stroll the beautiful plantings or visit the zoo or the Old Lighthouse Museum. Cap off your day with dinner and drinks on the top deck of Sunset Grille or at Bartlett’s Fish Camp Restaurant.”

Pampering yourself is what a girls’ weekend is all about.

“Spa packages can be booked at the Blue Chip Casino Hotel & Spa, outlet shopping at the 100+ stores at Lighthouse Place Premium Outlets or antiquing at the many shops is a wonderful way to spend the day,” said Simmons. “At night,

check out our local theatre productions at one of our three playhouses.”

How about a 2-hour cruise by Harbor Country Adventures? Embark on the Emita II and settle back and enjoy the ambience as your guide fascinates you with local scenes and maritime history. Fish off the pier in this Coho Capital of the World, or hire a charter captain for downrigger lake fishing. Build an awesome sand castle. Swim. Beachcomb.

You’ll find a variety of eateries: drool at Duneland Beach Inn’s fork-tender prime rib, Seafood Riced Cauliflower Bowl (shrimp, blue crab and scallops tossed in riced cauliflower, with a hint of jalapeño and maple), and (ooh la la) an exquisite Crème Brûlée for dessert.

Explore Arturo’s Baked Goods & More, Bistro on the Greens, Bubbles Ice Cream Parlor & Pie Shoppe, Gourmet House Chinese Restaurant, and Cabo’s Natural Fruit Ice Cream Shop & Café with added gastronomical and sweet flavors!

Make some noise for the LaPorte Jaycees 4th of July Parade and fireworks. Visit the LaPorte County Fair July 7-13 and various festivals that occur year round. Finally, explore recreational experiences, such as Sherwood Forest Paintball, bowling, biking, skydiving, Stateline Stables barrel racing and trail riding (with Glow in the Dark trails).

Michigan City-LaPorte boasts Brew at the Zoo (June 6/8; craft beer and wine), Municipal Band Concerts (Thursdays, 7:30 p.m. under the constellations), First Friday Art Walk Summer Series (with “pop-up” galleries at local businesses), and the Winery & Brewery Lodge.

Cheer on the Catamaran Racing Championships June 21-23 and marvel at the vibrant Lakeside Lavender & Herbs Annual Lavender Festival June 29-30 with music, lavender (and maybe even lavender ice cream).

For more complete and updated entertainment – theatres, music, art and dance – send for your free E-Newsletter or for your official visitors’ handbook, “Visit Michigan City LaPorte 2019” guide to fun, fun (and did we mention fun?). a

Special thanks to HT2 for hosting our event and donating proceeds from the sale of the glo-tini to our charity, The National Ovarian Cancer Coalition and to Southwest Hair & Day Spa, 5 Elements and Massage Envy for donating items for our drawing.

glo goes to Tapestry

We LOVE supporting Tapestry each year. This year, over 1,600 women enjoyed a day of shopping, breakouts, networking and more. Keynote Speaker Elizabeth Vargas inspired attendees with her story about struggling with alcoholism, and scholarships were awarded to special young women in our community. It’s more than just a day of pampering and we are honored to be involved.

glo-roscopes

By Julie Young

Gemini (May 21 - June 20)

Your father was the perfect playmate and you have followed in his footsteps with your own children and friends. There is no crime in remaining young at heart so don’t be afraid to go on a spontaneous adventure this month. Maybe take dear ‘old dad along with you!

Cancer (June 21 - July 22)

Because you are a lifelong learner, you never grow tired of taking up a new hobby. No matter if it is gardening, cooking or woodworking, you like to keep active. You come by this honestly as your father is the same way. Why not find something the two of you can do together this month?

Leo (July 23 - August 22)

Every star needs a good supporting cast and your father has always been there to lift the curtain, build your sets and make sure the spotlight was focused on his little girl. This is the month to turn the tables and put dad front and center. It’s up to you to make it a big production.

Virgo (August 23 - September 22)

Your father was not the kind to make grand gestures, but he was the kind of person who waited up until you got home, cleared your car of snow and regularly checked the oil. Like him, you tend to show your love in quiet thoughtful ways, but someone needs a more obvious sign that you care. Maybe it’s dad.

Libra (September 23 - October 22)

You’re more like a friend than a parent to your kids, just like dad was to you. You love the fact that you could tell him anything and that he would always play the “good cop” in your life. Remember that when your child confides something to you this month that may be hard to hear.

Scorpio (October 23 - November 21)

Intense and withdrawn, your father was misunderstood by most of your friends as an absentee parent, but you knew better. As a Scorpio, you are content to do your own thing for a while before rejoining the group. You’re not a loner, just independent.

Sagittarius (November 22 - December 21)

You approach every day like it is a new and exciting adventure, just like your father did. He never woke up on the wrong side of the bed in the mornings but rather greeted the sunrise like it was an old friend. Go on a spur-of-the-moment road trip to discover parts unknown. Dad may enjoy going with you!

Capricorn (December 22 - January 19)

Your goals are set, your plans are made and you are ready to tick off each item on the itinerary in pursuit of your dream. Don’t be surprised when your father sends regular texts and emails asking for a progress report. He’s exactly like you and it’s his way of showing you he cares. He likes to be in on your action!

Aquarius (January 20 - February 18)

You have a tendency to start one project then drop it for another. As a result, most of your best-laid plans are only halfway finished. You come by this honest, because your dad did the same thing, but this month, choose something to complete. It’s time to turn over a new leaf.

Pisces (February 19 - March 20)

When your first boyfriend broke your heart, dad was the shoulder that you cried on and he is the one you tend to turn to when the going gets rough. Your inherited empathy means your friends come to you when they are having issues and this month, someone has something big to talk about. Be sure to listen.

Aries (March 21 - April 19)

Your father taught you that success isn’t always measured in trophies and blue ribbons but how much effort you put into the game. As a result, you tend to give 110 percent to everything you do, and when it comes to participation points, you always come in first place. This month is no exception.

Taurus (April 20 - May 20)

A modern day Aesop, your father believed that there was a moral to every story he told. One day you will appreciate the lessons that you learned from his oftrepeated tales, but right now, they seem a little tired. Look for a takeaway you never considered before when the going gets rough. a
