Congratulations to... cover artist Heidi Ahmed

E the Cover

Artist:

Heidi Ahmed

Title of piece:

"She Dreams of Water"

Inspiration behind piece:

“The woman in the painting is a friend of mine named Julie. ’The Little Mermaid’ was one of her favorite movies, and she often dreamed of being a mermaid herself. We found a sequin dress at a garage sale for a dollar, and I had just recently purchased a camera. Before we knew it, we had a mermaid photoshoot on our hands. Among the photos, one stood out to me above the rest: the setting sun casting a strong shadow across her face. My aim for this piece was to capture her soft features juxtaposed against the strong light. “Why is she upside down, you might ask? I wanted the viewer to feel as if he/she was falling in and out of reality. This was intentional to help illustrate the idea that she was actually dreaming of water and becoming a mermaid. I used a variety of blues and teals to heighten the aquatic feel. I wanted her hair to look less like hair and more like flowing water. The addition of color to her lips and eyes keep your attention on her face: the dreamer.”

Want to put your art on our front cover? Give it a glo! To submit your entry, send art as an e-mail attachment to [email protected] or send a production-ready image on a CD via mail to: glo Magazine, Attention: Sue Rawlinson, PO Box 188, Milford, IN 46542.

The Nitty Gritty: Glo front covers are open to female artists. Submissions from all original 2D media (digital art photographs are OK) are welcome. Artwork must be photographed at a high-resolution (300+ dpi) for reproduction. Cover art selections are made at the discretion of glo staff. For cover placement, the artist will receive credit and added exposure via introductory copy and published photograph in a question and answer section. Cover art is cropped to 10” wide x 13” high. The artist must be willing to give her original artwork to glo magazine to use for the cover art, any promotions or auction of artwork. Published cover art becomes the property of glo magazine.

About Heidi 1. What does art mean to you? I personally feel that art is about relationships. I feel this holds true whether it pertains to my relationship to the medium or the connection the viewer is making with the piece itself. 2. What is your favorite medium? My preferred medium has always been watercolor. It speaks to my perHeidi Ahmed sonality, and I feel a connection with this medium that is similar to friendship. I fondly remember the moment when watercolor "clicked" for me. I painted two individual wet colors together and watched them blend. While the two colors stayed true to themselves, they created an altogether new and beautiful color where they met. I think this is what happens with me and this medium. We come together to create something new and beautiful. 3. Where is your preference to work on your art? Fortunately, watercolor does not require a lot of space for working, but I primarily paint in my home studio. 4. What is your greatest aspiration in art? I aspire to become an expert in my field and would eventually love to author a book on watercolor. To that end, I've started fashioning my website into a resource for anyone who is interested in learning watercolor. I want it to be a place where people can view my work, learn techniques, and be inspired to create works of their own. 5. Who is/are your biggest supporter(s)? Where would I be without the wonderful ladies of Frame Art and Design? They are experts in their craft and help elevate the presentation of the work itself. They have done so much for me over the years, and I honestly would not trust my art with anyone else. 6. Is your artwork on display in the area? Where? It is not currently on display unless of course you consider my Grandma's house. a

Doesn’t this all sound familiar? Spring is all about refreshing who we are as women. It’s a universal renewal — so, why not investigate new ways to invigorate who we are? Perhaps it’s time to determine a new, improved pathway for our physical and mental health. To focus more on the relationships that mean the most within our lives. No time is better than RIGHT NOW. At this very moment. Women today embrace empowerment. We run businesses. We hold leadership positions. We keep our family responsibilities in the forefront. We are masters of multi-tasking. But do we take care of ourselves as we should? Aren’t we so engrained with others’ needs — whether our family or business — that our own personal growth can sometimes stagnate? Now is the time to recognize and analyze. It’s time to focus on beautiful YOU. Warmer temps and renewed energy is a’ knockin … so let’s embrace change. As nature slowly rebirths around us, let us spark new creativity, self-preservation and renewal within. It’s a beautiful life we are blessed with, ladies. Shouldn’t we grab hold of its beauty and make the best of it? Yes, we think so, too.

It’s time to plan your St. Patrick’s Day party, to refresh your workout routine, to investigate new ways to renew the spirit, and to escape into the outdoor sunshine, no matter how chilly it may still be. We yearn for warmth and energy — both literally and figuratively.

trast fabrics are used. Add an ottoman, put your feet up and skip a recliner! If your preference is a recliner, the supreme luxury is one that is motorized: limitless positions and the ultimate definition of “easy” chair.

Comforts of Home!

Lovin’ Couch Potatoes Of course, in these days that spawned the term, ‘couch potato,’ it's important to provide the appropriate couch. The home furnishings industry is making generously proportioned furniture designed to envelop, comfort and relax weary bodies. Oversized sofas and sectionals with cushions that feel like down - without the care of down - truly fit the bill. Styles range from mid-century modern to traditional rolled arms to deeply tufted cushions to clean-lined contemporary. Easy care durable fabrics and top grain leathers are wise choices for long-term upholstered pieces.

When I ask clients what they want their home to look like and what style they prefer, the overwhelming response is: “I want it to be comfortable.” Naturally, this desire means different things to different people; thankfully, the interior design industry has solutions for everyone. The comfort and coziness of today's sumptuous furniture offers an antidote to today's high-tech, fast paced society.

Chaise To Your Oasis In the bedroom, a chaise lounge beautifully upholstered in a chenille burnout fabric will provide a pampered feeling for all who recline there. A soft throw draped over the chaise invites you to grab a book and a beverage, and escape to your private oasis.

Just Wing It Those who prefer the traditional styling of a wing chair will find wider, better shaped chairs with cushioned backs among today's choices. An overstuffed club chair is popular and can be a classy addition if con-

So stay in your easy chair and join the legions of homeowners who are rediscovering the familiar comforts of home! With the advent of largescreened televisions and in-home movie rooms, home has truly become the ‘in’ place to be after a stressful day at the office. a

There are many types of massage, but all lead to a path of improved physical and mental wellness. No longer a service only available through luxury spas and upscale health clubs, massage is generally accepted as a mainstream form of healthcare that can yield amazing results. And those results start with technique, which can include pressing, rubbing and manipulating skin, muscles, tendons and ligaments.

“Taking care of our bodies is the greatest benefit of massage…we live in a stressful world and regular massage can help keep stress at bay. The relief of joint pain, headaches, chronic pain, not to mention better mobility and general well being are just a few benefits of regular massage.” – Ainsley Lee, Massage Envy Spa There are many different forms of massage, including these common types, according to the Mayo Clinic:

Swedish massage.

This is a gentle form of massage that uses long strokes, kneading, deep circular movements, vibration and tapping to help relax and energize.

Deep massage. This massage technique uses slower, more forceful strokes to target the deeper layers of muscle and connective tissue, commonly to help with muscle damage from injuries.

Sports massage. This is similar to Swedish massage, but it's geared toward people involved in sport activities to help prevent or treat injuries. Trigger point massage. This massage focuses on areas of tight muscle fibers that can form in your muscles after injuries or overuse. Michael Windsor, owner of Massage Works Therapy Center in Fort Wayne,

says just as there are many types of massage, there is a lot of variation in terms of the desired outcome. He says stress management is what most people think of when they think of massage, however his team can offer a lot more than that. Massage can help to address chronic pain and migraines, for example. “There’s a lot of stuff we can do that’s therapeutic,” he said. And some people find massage is the bridge they need to get them from living in chronic pain to a pain-free life. While it’s not always an alternative to surgery in some cases he said one thing’s for certain: “You’re going to walk out feeling better than you did before.” Feeling better isn’t just limited to the physical body, he explained. A lot of people hold stress in their neck and shoulders, which can make it painful or difficult to move. These physical manifestations of tension need to be addressed as well. That’s why his team spends time with each client to find out what’s going on in their personal lives that could spill over into their health. Diedra Eshcoff, with Partners 4 Healing, takes a similar approach. “Whatever’s going on in your head will manifest itself in your body,” she said. And that can be a bad thing for people who don’t practice self-care. “So many people are so busy… it’s go, go, go… and they never give themselves an opportunity to downshift,” she said. “However, it’s in that rest that our body can heal itself.” In fact self-care can actually help people be more productive and lead more fulfilling lives. “Regular massage can help you manage stress so you can do your best,” she said, offering an image of a bucket. When empty, you cannot give to others. However, when full a lot of good can come from it. In fact she describe it as a ripple effect. Friends and family benefit from your self-care. So it’s a win-win in effect. Who can argue with that? a

Silent Meditation Retreats They’re ‘Namaste’ on Proverbial Steroids. by Emily LaRue

Silent meditation retreats are exactly what they sound like: a ‘vacation’ spent meditating. And this vacation? It comes with rules. Unlike the average retreat, there is no talking and, often, the following precepts are followed: no killing of any sentient being (that’s any and all bugs!), no stealing, no sexual activity and no misuse of intoxicants. Silent meditation retreats can last anywhere from one day to several months. These silent retreats are held all over the world, but can also be found right here in Indiana. Gone are the days when meditation was thought to be an odd ritual practiced only by Buddhists. It has gained much more acceptance these days and is practiced by people from all religions. In fact, ABC News is calling silent meditation retreats the next “travel trend.” Local resident Nancy Tomkins has been attending these retreats for a decade and estimates she has attended 10 of them, nearly all in Indiana. The longest retreat Tomkins attended was eight days. She became interested in meditation about 10 years ago because, “I was searching for some kind of spirituality in my life,” she said. Tomkins 12 glo s march 2015

Most people are familiar with meditation. It’s a time to sit quietly while trying to clear ever-popping thoughts from the mind. People can meditate for as little as a few moments to several hours. However, some people take that idea one, much bigger step further: silent meditation retreats.

discovered meditation and Buddhism, which seemed to “fit for me, for what I was thinking, for what I was feeling,” she said. From her interest in spirituality, she quickly moved to attending silent meditation retreats. “I started doing some reading and, at that time, there wasn’t anyone local, but I found a retreat at The Oakwood Retreat Center near Muncie, which was sponsored by TriState Dharma,” she said. Tomkins reports a typical retreat consists of waking early (5 or 6 a.m.), breakfast, meditating, lunch, meditation, a light dinner, a teaching, more meditation and then on to bed. Meals are often vegan or vegetarian. If the retreat is more than one day, then the identical schedule is followed for the remaining days. Other retreats offer outdoor activities or spa treatments, but those come with a price tag to match those luxuries. “(The retreats) are a wonderful experience,” Tomkins said. “There is a comfort and energy when you are in a group with like-minded people. You feel a peacefulness, a calm.”

Although the silence component is “what seems to fascinate people,” said Tomkins, “it’s the easiest part. The hardest part is the physical component — the sitting, the walking. It can be hard on your body to maintain the same position hour after hour, day after day. It’s hard even for those who are in great shape.” It is natural to think that the walking would provide some kind of physical relief however, the walking is not a full stride walk, which would enable a stretch, but instead a short pace back and forth. After all, the participant is still meditating, and cannot break that flow. Tomkins reported if someone would like more information, a good place to start is Insight Fort Wayne, which offers weekly meditation sessions. Is this a solution to the ever-increasing pace of our plugged-in lives? Could it be a way to guard ourselves against 24/7 availability we now have? Perhaps. As Tomkins says, “The focus is just to clear your mind and become ready to accept that your mind can settle.” a

FUNK

March By Sue Rawlinson

In my relationship, date nights are sacred. Between us, we have five children, two busy jobs, two homes, one very naughty dog and a bird who bites. We’re busy. So when it comes to date night, we shut out all except one another. It reminds us we still enjoy each other after all these years. Shouldn’t ‘date night’ be a routine for us all??? Yes, we think so. Here’s some tried-and-true ideas for your date nights this March

**WHAT to WEAR** Well, ladies. Simplicity is perfect for your king, and the key word for a movie date night is comfort. In short, your outfit should be ideal for lounging on the couch with your honey.

It’s a Blanket, Popcorn and Netflix Night!

** MUST-HAVE’S ** Your Fave Blanket The only thing better than cozying up with your man is to cozy up under your favorite blanket!

Not Your Ordinary Popcorn Give him both the sweet and spicy side of you. Well, at least make the two varieties of popcorn to add an element of surprise. You’re not the ordinary gal, so why should your popcorn be ordinary?

Sweet White Chocolate Popcorn

We say go with jeans and a simple tank top… Plus, this easy outfit is both comfortable enough for lounging and shows a little skin. If your arms get chilly? That’s all the more reason to cozy up!

Ingredients: 2 bags popped microwave movie theatre butter popcorn 2 cups white chocolate chips, melted • Lay popped corn on sheet of wax paper; remove unpopped kernels • Pour melted white chocolate on popped corn. • Allow time to dry and then you’re done!

Serving Tray Hey, it’ll make life easier. (And if you’re klutzy like me, it might save clean-up time later!) Have your snacks and drinks arranged before the date night starts. Place two bowls of popcorn on the tray (one for each type of popcorn — you can share — you like each other, right?), grab a few napkins, add a few of his favorite beers and voila! — you’re ready!

Ingredients: 2 bags popped microwave movie theatre butter popcorn 1/2 teaspoon sweet paprika 1 teaspoon salt 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder 1 teaspoon cumin 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper • Combine spices in small dish and sprinkle over hot corn. Easy and simple, it’s ready!

And, shoes? Who needs ‘em on a movie date night?! Cuddle up with your man, feed each other some popcorn, curl up under the blanket and enjoy both the movie and the moments you have together. a

Emily Hart Event coordinator/owner, “Two-EE's Winery”

For many, it’s a romantic dream to own a winery, acknowledged Emily Hart, co-owner of Two-EE’s Winery. While she is “honored” to be part of a small, family business, there’s much more to her day than the romantic idea of sipping wine at-will. "We have daily tasks to keep the doors open just like any other business,” she said. “We're just fortunate to have wine nearby to relax after a long day's work!” Raised in Fort Wayne, Hart discovered a passion for the stage. Show choir proved one outlet for her interest. Then she discovered the Miss USA pageant and won the title of Miss Indiana USA. "I am grateful to have that be a chapter in my life,” she said. “I met a lot of great people and grew tremendously as a person," she said. She also enjoyed hearing fans in Las Vegas, where the competition took place, shouting and rooting for the Indiana candidate. Although Hart was initially apprehensive about pageants, she met several wonderful girls who welcomed her. She returns this kindness as a judge for local pageants and active involvement in the national pageant system, Miss America. Hart strives to infuse fun, a smile and optimism into everything she does — whether spending freetime with husband Eric, buying merchandise or organizing private events at the winery. Emily’s advice? "Find time [each day] to look at yourself in the mirror and smile. This is how you want people to see you." a

Eric Harris Head winemaker/owner, “Two-EE's Winerys” Some journeys are most unpredictable. Such is the case for Eric Harris, head winemaker and coowner of Two-EE's Winery in Huntington. A bright student in high school and college, the Fort Wayne native excelled at science but working in a laboratory was not among his aspirations. A career in alcoholic beverages wasn't on the horizon, either, at that time—and almost never was. "One day my mom grabbed an old jug of cider… it was puffed-up from natural fermentation. I wanted to try a sip but she said it was alcoholic and dumped it down the drain… I imagine the one she dumped could very well have deterred me from my current profession… the scent of raw apple cider is reminiscent to the smell of vomit!” Eww. Thanks, Mom. Harris later met his future wife, Emily Hart, and warmed to her father's winemaking pastime. “He took me under his wing and we learned a lot making wine together… in fact, taking the hobby to a level some might call an obsession." After marrying, the young couple started the winery together. His responsibilities at Two-EE's encompass crucial aspects of the winemaking business, including machine repair, setting work schedules, payroll and educating would-be connoisseurs on nuances of wine varieties.

So, thanks to a protective mom and a fellow enthusiast father-inlaw, Harris pursues his passion each day, working side by side with his wife, continually striving for perfection—and making Two-EE's a prized Indiana destination. a

Nutrition:

Turning genes on...and off through generations by Fort Wayne Custom Rx

The famous quote by the Greek physician, Hippocrates, states, “Let food be thy medicine and medicine be thy food.” Although Hippocrates lived approximately from 460-370 BC, we are finding those words seem to be truer now more than ever. A new science is rapidly evolving called Epigenetics. The term epigenetics means “above and beyond genetics.” This term is used to refer to how the environment influences gene expression. Although the idea of this relationship has been around for about seven decades, we had not been able to put the hypothesis to the test until the scientific capabilities caught up. The completion of the Human Genome Project in 2003 brought significant advancements to the study of our own genes and gene expression.

We Are What We Eat… and what Grandpa ate

shutterstock.com

One area of particular interest and advancement is the way nutrition influences gene expression, Nutrigenomics. (Stress and behavior influence genes as well, but those are much harder to control for a study.) So yes, what you eat can determine whether you will express that awful gene you inherited from Grandpa Joe. Not only that, but what Grandpa Joe ate

will have an influence on what genes you express as well. So it is not just a matter of what you eat, but what your parents ate (both mom AND dad), and what their parents, your grandparents, ate. Nutrition can, therefore, determine the risk of everything from autism to diabetes.

Vitamins Protect The most studied nutrients for controlling gene expression are what we call “Methyl Donors.” The methyl group works like a roadblock to stop genes from turning on and being expressed. So if you have more methyl donors in your diet like folic acid, Bvitamins, SAM-e, or betaine, you can set up more road blocks that stop those “bad” genes from turning on. In a famous study performed on the genetically-cursed agouti mouse, the consumption of methyl donors was able to overcome the poor genetics and even negative environmental effects of substances like BPA. Fort Wayne Custom Rx specializes in nutritional products to help patients take better care of themselves, their kids and their grandkids. It has pharmaceutical-grade supplements to help increase the number of methyl donors available to help keep those bad genes in-check as well as BPA-free, organic products for pregnant moms-to-be, nursing mothers and babies. Shouldn’t we all consider proper nutrition and health as an investment in future generations? a

Historic Theatre and Event Center Kelly Updike is the fierce leader of the Embassy Theatre which is well on its way to what she calls “intergalactic domination.” How is she going to obtain this domination? Well, check out what is currently happening at the Embassy: the Embassy Theatre has grown so well financially under Kelly’s leadership, that the organization began a $10 million capital campaign to renovate the top four floors of the former Indiana Hotel. This renovation marks the largest since the early 1990s. Adding a two-story ballroom as part of the renovation was part of the vision, along with a donor lounge, rehearsal studio space and a rooftop garden. The extra revenue the new spaces generate will help keep Embassy Theatre Foundation strong and self-sustaining. Another area of growth under Kelly’s leadership has been the Embassy’s education programs, which now requires an education manager on staff. “For many children, the free programs we have developed are often their first experience of live performance theater. I’m proud the Embassy can give them that memory,” says Kelly. In addition to education offerings, the Embassy has increased the number of events booked on the stage and the number of private rentals of the theatre lobby and the Indiana Hotel Lobby. “Promoters know that when they work with the Embassy they are getting a top-notch facility with a hard working staff,” said Kelly. “We are seeing more artists wanting to perform here. And the new ballroom will allow us to bring some different entertainment offerings to Fort Wayne.” All this plus much more has Kelly convinced that intergalactic domination for the Embassy is on the horizon.

WOMEN’S FINANCE

Women:

Facing Financial Challenges On March 8, we observe International Women’s Day. On this occasion, thousands of events across the world will honor the cultural, political and social achievements of women. Of course, in many countries, women still face significant economic challenges. And even here in the United States, women encounter more obstacles than men in the pursuit of financial security, particularly in seeking a comfortable retirement lifestyle. So if you are a woman — regardless of your marital status — you will need to be aware of these challenges and take steps to overcome them. Let’s consider a few challenges and some possible solutions: Challenge: Women spend more time out of the workforce and accumulate less money in 401(k) plans. Women spend an average of 12 years out of the workforce caring for children or elderly parents, compared with less than two years for men, according to the Social Security Administration. This time away from work can translate into less money in retirement plans — in fact, women’s average 401(k) balance is only about two-thirds as large as men’s, according to a study by Fidelity Investments. Potential solution: Take full advantage of your 401(k) and IRA.Your care-giving obligations are an issue to be decided by you, your spouse and perhaps other family members. But while you are working, contribute as much as you possibly can to your 401(k) or similar employer-sponsored plan. Also, try to fully fund your IRA each year. Challenge: Women typically live more years in retirement and depend more heavily on Social Security. Women reaching age 65 are expected to live, on average, an additional 21.6 years, compared

with 19.3 years for men, according to the Social Security Administration, which also reports that the average annual Social Security income received by women 65 years and older was about $12,500. Furthermore, Social Security comprises about 50 percent of the total income for unmarried women age 65 and older, compared to just 36 percent for elderly men. Potential solution: To become less dependent on Social Security, create a sustainable withdrawal strategy for your investment portfolio. Social Security was designed to supplement one’s retirement income, not replace it. Consequently, it’s essential that you make full use of your other sources of income, such as your 401(k), IRA and other investment accounts. To make this money last, you’ll need to create a sustainable withdrawal strategy early in your retirement — and stick to it. Challenge: Women are far more likely than men to need some type of longterm care. More than two-thirds of nursing home residents are women, according to the National Center for Health Statistics. And the average cost for a private room in a nursing home is more than $87,000 per year, according to the shutterstock.com 2014 Cost of Care Survey produced by Genworth, a financial services company. Typically, Medicare covers only a small percentage of these costs. Potential solution: Prepare in advance for long-term care expenses. Long-term care costs can be enormous, but you do have some protection-related options for meeting these costs. Check with your financial advisor to learn which of these choices might be most appropriate for your situation. These aren’t the only financial issues facing women, but they do give you a good idea of what you may be facing. So, be proactive in meeting these challenges — because there’s actually a lot you can do. ■

FEATURES | Women’s Safety

3 Tips for Staying Safe By Don Griffin Don Griffin is an attorney, university professor, and a certified concealed handgun license (CHL) instructor. Also a US Army Infantry Officer, Griffin’s impressive blend of education, expertise and experience makes him an excellent choice to provide safety information for women. And as a service to our communities, Griffin offers small-sized classes on handgun safety—specifically designed for women. Many women today feel personal and family safety are important yet are afraid to own a gun, carry a gun or even to obtain a concealed handgun permit. This may stem from having children or grandchildren, maybe from having little experience with firearms or maybe they simply don’t want the weight of a firearm in their purse. For whatever reason, there are many alternatives to carrying a firearm.

1) AVOID Plan where you will park, choosing well lighted and secure areas. If possible, plan when you will go to your car and walk with co-workers or friends or even request the security guard escort you to the car. Avoiding a problem is the simplest form of defense.

2) ESCAPE Plan ahead. Be aware at all times by scanning the area you approach, especially being cognizant of about a 25-foot circle around you. Look for people who could be a problem and even cross the street to avoid them. The last thing you want to do is pay attention to your cell phone and not see problems coming. Escaping a problem is still much better than defending yourself from a problem.

3) DEFEND Be ready to defend by having a loud whistle in your purse. A perpetrator never wants to have attention drawn to the scene. Besides the whistle, have a can of pepper spray handy. Not all pepper spray is created equal, so ensure it is the spray police officers carry. A typical brand is “FREEZE +P,” which contains both CS and OC agents. Tasers are also very effective. A Taser C2 shoots two steel darts about 20 feet, ensuring a nice distance between you and the problem person when the unit discharges. If you miss, you are still able to touch the person and discharge the impulse with the unit itself—in either case the person will be incapacitated. The C2 has a built-in laser and light to assist in aiming. Lastly, do consider a small handgun. Handguns are required by law to come with a trigger lock. You can safely store the handgun with the lock attached. Many are very small, very light and in keeping with the old adage, “What’s the first rule of a gunfight? Have a gun.” If you decide to take the handgun outside of your home, applying for and obtaining a concealed handgun permit is very simple and easy—much more than even a driver’s license. a

But times have changed and most of us have so little time to really delve into a complete home-cleaning like our mothers and grandmothers did—nor do we seem to have the help to accomplish the tasks at-hand. But spring cleaning and cleanliness are still as important as ever.

march 2015

Ah, spring cleaning… it’s that time of year when the sun shines in and shows what winter left behind on your furniture, floors, in the corners and under furniture! Yikes! Spring cleaning reminds me of my childhood— my mother (and those of us who were big enough to help) would take down curtains, pick up throw rugs and take them outside to hang on clothesline and beat the dust out. She’d move furniture, wash walls and windows, turn mattresses and clean out closets. And what a great feeling it was when the job was done and everything sparkled and smelled so terrific!

What many homeowners do to maintain a clean home during today’s busyness is have a professional cleaning service organize and clean their homes on a regular basis. It’s the answer many people need. But, here are some tips homeowners can use at home: • Baking soda and vinegar work great to clean out drains and make them smell fresh • A small amount of liquid dish soap with water and white vinegar cleans windows and mirrors and glass top tables Happy spring cleaning! a

This month’s foodie selection as recommended by Chef Mark Graves of Marko’s on 2nd, 135 S. 2nd St. in Decatur

A Twist on Corned Beef + Cabbage Green shirts, green beer, corned beef and cabbage — it must be getting close to St. Patrick’s Day! On Tuesday, March 17, people of Irish descent (or not!) will be consuming mass amounts of green beer and corned beef and cabbage in honor of St. Patrick. For some people, it's an all-day affair; waking early to prepare a slow-cooked hunk of corned beef to be nibbled on throughout the day, while sipping their Irish beer of choice. As the day goes on, the feast of meat and cabbage usually steers more toward drinks, forgetting about the corned beef and cabbage you just made for the masses. So rather than eating the some boring corned beef and cabbage leftovers all week, turn those leftovers into something a little more tasty! Try the recipe below for a next-day meal—or, if hosting a St. Paddy's Day party, this is a great appetizer. And, if you need a little hair of the dog after a long night of celebrating, why not wash down these egg rolls down with a local Irish Stout, Ring of Dingle made by Sun King Brewery? Or if you have had your fill on suds, may I recommended a nice Sonoma Pinot Noir, 2012 Matanzas Creek Pinot Noir?

Sun King Brewery is located in Indianapolis. This brewery is quickly becoming a powerhouse of the microbrew scene with its yearround and seasonal brews. The “Ring of Dingle” Irish stout is a rich and toasty dry stout with a clean finish; it’s been racking up awards from the World Beer Cup to the Great American Beer Fest.

Matanzas Creek Vineyard is located in Sonoma, CA. For a vineyard known for their white wine production, their 2012 Pinot Noir proves they know a great deal about making a great red also! The 2012 Matanzas Creek Pinot Noir has notes of red raspberry, strawberry, clove and cinnamon. This pinot retails for around $50, and is worth every cent. a

glo girls’ guide o t Good Food Good Food Review by Kim Gross,

Scotty’s Brewhouse Scotty’s is fairly new to the southwest side of Fort Wayne, but has a rich tradition in Indianapolis with five locations (adding a sixth soon), Muncie, Bloomington, West Lafayette and Mishawaka. Scotty’s is located where Buckets previously occupied, but the comparison stops at a great place to watch a game. Scotty’s interior has been completely redesigned with a huge bar, a variety of seating (booths and tables), and TV after TV after TV—all tuned to the games you want to watch. My husband and I prefer the bar area, which is vast as opposed to the family room.

Time for a New Look?

They do not take reservations, so go early or pack your patience in your purse. The best bet is to get a drink from the bar and wait for your table or cozy up to the bar if there is room. The menu is large (as are the portions) and casual. Meals are served on small cookie sheets and silverware is wrapped in dishcloths. We have been there three times since Scotty’s opening, and have tried the Spinach Artichoke Dip which was warm and cheesy, Fiesta Chicken Salad made with penne pasta and Italian dressing, and an absolutely shareable order of nachos. My favorite dish so far? The fish tacos. The portion comes with three tacos and I chose a side salad as well. The portion was so huge I had leftovers the next day. Our companions raved about the pizza (Fort Wayne is the only Scotty’s location serving pizza made with homemade beer-in-the-dough crust) and the build-your-own burgers. A tip: be sure to try the pretzel bread buns! Scotty’s has a full bar (thank you very much) and is known for a selection of over 32 craft beers. Try a flight or two of their beer selections to get the full effect of the diverse beer menu. It’s everything an upscale sports bar should be and a great place to wind down the week or meet a group of friends to watch a game. a

APPLE SMOOTHIE Healthy, tart, full of vitamins and really only green with food coloring (yes, we added a few drops!)… Apples provide loads of antioxidants and are rich in vitamin-C. The cashew butter gives a thick consistency, so add more ice if you wish. Remember the old adage: “An apple a day…” We say it’s a great start to your day. a

Recipe:

▪ 1/2 cup of skim milk or soy milk (we used vanilla almond milk) ▪ 6 ounces vanilla yogurt ▪ 1 teaspoon apple pie spice ▪ 1 medium-sized Granny Smith chopped apple ▪ 2 tablespoons of cashew butter ▪ 8 ice cubes ▪ Place all the ingredients in the blender and blend until smooth

CAN’T MISS

The goal for the event is to focus on women’s equality and progress. It will offer women networking opportunities and provide local companies with positive visibility and association with a highly regarded national organization. “Our vision for holding a luncheon is one that will inspire and educate our guests to take a pledge on video stating why they want to ‘Pass the Torch for Women,’ ” said Widman. “During the luncheon, we will be holding a workshop that builds the intention of thinking about women's initiatives within their companies.” The Pass the Torch event will also help to raise awareness about International Women’s Day, which is dedicated to celebrate the achievements of women and calling for greater equality. At the luncheon, “guests [will] take the pledge to support women on video to help push out to raise awareness for International Women's Day,” explained Widman. “We will also be talking about the importance of celebrating IWD and how guests can get their community more involved through spreading the awareness.”

Pass the Torch for Women Luncheon, March 11th By Deborah C. Gerbers On March 11, Fort Wayne area women will have the chance to gather in celebration of International Women’s Day at the Pass the Torch for Women Luncheon. It is the flagship event for the Mentoring Women’s Network and will be held from 11:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. at the Mirro Center at Parkview Regional Campus. “Pass the Torch for Women is dedicated to raising funds for women who need it the most — single mothers, women in transition, women in underserved populations, college students and

women business owners,” said Toni Widman, CEO of Integrated Talent Solutions and the market director for Mentoring Women’s Network in Fort Wayne. “Our mission is to create a world of equal opportunity through mentoring relationships. “This is our first year holding a luncheon and executing a viral campaign in celebration of International Women's Day,” she continued. “We are thrilled to bring awareness to such an important mission and to get women and men around the globe thinking about how they can support the women in their lives.”

Dr. Deborah McMahan will be the keynote speaker for the Pass the Torch event, which is expected to draw over 350 women from the Fort Wayne business, medical and civic communities. “Both individuals and companies will be able to attend an event that promotes the advancement of women where they can showcase their passion for the subject matter,” said Widman. “The luncheon will be inspiring and insightful, and every guest who walks away from the event will feel motivated to give back to their community and help promote IWD.” As an enthusiastic advocate for the mission and vision of the organization, Widman said that events like the Pass the Torch Luncheon emphasize the key values of the Mentoring Women’s Network: empowerment, development and relationships. “Mentoring programs benefit companies through better educated, trained and engaged employees,” said Widman. “Mentors can help proteges shorten a learning curve by teaching specific job skills or by preventing missteps by sharing lessons learned. Mentors can also boost career development by providing feedback and encouragement. A mentee can spark a mentor's creativity or re-energize her career by discussing new ideas, sharing contacts or exploring new technologies or programs together.” By creating the largest and most effective mentoring program for women in the world, there will be more equal opportunities for women in professional environments. The Pass the Torch for Women Luncheon is a wonderful way to empower women and bring them together in celebration of women’s achievements, to draw attention to equality issues, and for networking and creating new, lasting relationships.

Perusing

the

Protection By Julie Young As a general rule, I am not one to lurk about the family planning section of my local drug store and certainly not with my 18-year-old son in tow. However, when the pharmacy’s printer suddenly went on strike during a routine pick-up, we were directed to a small enclave of standby customers clustered around a wall of products all promising Fort Knox-level protection with a cornucopia of kinky bonuses. I’m telling you; it was an eye opener. “What do you suppose they mean by ‘Fire and Ice’ sensations?” I muttered as Boy Wonder groaned quietly beside me. “I’m serious. Is that like putting Icy Hot down there? Lord, I don’t like that feeling on my shoulder, let alone a private part.” “Hey, did you see that nice blood pressure machine over there,” the prude interjected, trying to divert my attention. “Why don’t you go get your blood pressure checked?” I ignored him and continued to peruse the merchandise. Once upon a time, before intimacy was a matter of life and death, and safety became the industry byword, product options were limited to a red box and a blue box. Now, thanks in part to the HIV/AIDS epidemic, a handful of other conditions and the cleverness of the good people at the Church & Dwight Corporation, there was a wealth of choices complete with a wide range of special effects. I’m not kidding. No matter what your deficiency, there is a product to compensate for it. Quite frankly, I don’t think that George Lucas had this many bells and whistles when he filmed the original Star Wars movie. I discovered that depending on my mood, I could be pulsed, twisted, tickled, ribbed or, so help me God, “charged.” Electro shock therapy aside, there were boxes that boasted “extended action” (though exactly what is being extended remains a mystery to me), a “triple threat,” an assortment of fruity flavors, fun colors, two different sizes, several quantities and an ominous line of goods designed “For Her Pleasure.” I’m not exactly sure what is going on there, but I would love to tell the bozo behind that misnomer that there is not a woman alive who places the success or failure of her entire experience in a sliver of latex and unless that box also contains a bottle of champagne, a dozen roses and a massage, you clearly aren’t thinking about her at all. The more I contemplated this area of retail, the more I realized that the industry leader remains a brand of products synonymous with a group of legendary losers. I am not sure who came up with that namesake or why millions of people seem to trust it, but wasn’t a failed defense system the plot line of that tale? If I remember my mythology correctly, a group of warriors feeling rather cocky about their prowess went to sleep safe in the notion that their fortress was guarded against all unwanted invaders. However, when the opposing army penetrated their city walls sheathed in disguise, those goobers couldn’t protect themselves, let alone anyone else! I pointed all of this out to my son and said that despite the distinctive helmets and a profile that looked great on the logo, perhaps naming something after those connected to one of the biggest security breeches in history may not have been the smartest marketing move in the world. “Maybe not, but it’s obviously working for them,” he said. “Still, I see your point. It sure does seem like they backed the wrong horse.” a

March 2015 Pisces

Is it just you, or does everyone seem a bit crappy these days? No worries, dear Pisces—it’s not just you, nor does it have anything to do with you. Just focus on yourself and your career, and you’ll do more than fine.

Aries It’s time to be a little selfish, Aries. This is your month to burn bright, so take advantage. Tackle any daunting tasks, bad habits and negativity. Pamper yourself, and don’t be afraid to shine. Taurus

Spring fever’s hitting hard and you may be feeling a little more vivacious than usual, but steady, bull — flings come and go. Keep your head about you. Strength and personal growth never go out of style.

Gemini

The celestial twins must prepare for a conflict of priorities this month. All the dedication you’ve been showing everyone is paying off everywhere except at home. It’s too bad there really aren’t two of you. Remember: life’s a balance.

Cancer

March will be a month of many fortunes for the industrious crab. Work has been treating you well and paying as such. But don’t blow it all at Sephora — there are more important expenses on the horizon.

Introducing:

Leo It’s no secret you are one fiery lioness, but it might be time to tame your pride a little. Use March to work on your empathy and sensitivity towards others. After all, lions don’t tend to do well alone. Virgo

My dear virgin maiden — March isn’t having it! Ditch the excuses and self-doubt and take a chance on that coffee shop cutie. You might be pleasantly surprised at how well the stars have aligned for you both.

Libra Girl, you’ve been working pretty hard, and finally it’s time for a breather. This month, trust in others to pull their own weight and give your scales a rest. Don’t worry — you’re in good hands. Scorpio You’ve been antsy for a while now, lady scorpion, and it’s finally too much to bear. Your dreams may seem lofty, but don’t be afraid to aim high, because March will reward your passions if you give them your all. Sagittarius

Thank Mars and Pluto for the energy boost coming this month. Creative, charismatic and craving some action, you, madam archer, are a girl on fire! Just be careful not to burn the moths attracted to your flame.

Capricorn Has something been getting your goat, Miss Capricorn? Take some time to address it, as it will not go away on its own. Resolve any quarrels you may have with your family and keep them close. Aquarius There are a lot of issues at hand for Aquarius this month. Use March to get a firm grasp on who you are and what you really want out of life so that when the time comes to act, you’ll be ready. a

“I think that was the last piece of the good I was supposed to learn…I wasn’t gonna be too scared to love the folks that took the time to love me back, and I sure wasn’t gonna chase them that don’t.” Nine-yearold Starla runs away from home in search of the mother she barely remembers and along the way encounters real dangers that slap her into the reality of people and evil and true love. This is a chilling and heartfelt and well-written bildungsroman in a time of American upheaval.

Boy Craft | by Sara Duchars & Sarah Marks

Enough with the craft books for girls — here is a book that will appeal to all types of crafty-boys. These two mothers have created tutorials for making jumper monsters, clothespin bats, Egyptian mummies and more. The directions are thorough and assisted by colorful photographs, and they offer a wide variety of skills from knitting to papier-mâché to woodworking. While you might find a gift idea or two, these crafts are all about impractical good times for the sake of fun.

Coming Out Swiss | by Anne Herrmann

“Switzerland leads the world in annual…consumption of chocolate.” This is why I love the Swiss, and why I was drawn to this book. It is a travel book as well as a memoir of Herrmann’s life as a dual citizen of the United States and Switzerland. Herrmann is both loving and derogatory in her explanations of her tiny second homeland. She delves into the mistaken understanding that Americans have towards Switzerland, mentioning that visiting Berne, Indiana does not make an expert on Swiss heritage.

I’ve got your back.” She slowed as she dried a cup and several spoons. “I wondered how he could be warm in . . .” Clisty’s eyes grew large as she turned toward the darkness beyond the window. “When was he in here?” “Was the sweatshirt a hoody?” Jake asked. “Yes, he had it over his head but I could see his eyes. It was strange. He had the most beautiful blue eyes, sunk down in a face that belonged on an FBI most wanted poster.” Sharon shuddered. “He scared me.” She too looked out into the night. “He was in here just a little bit ago. I was glad when he left.” “Which way did he go?” Jake asked. “Down toward your parents’ place,” Sharon nodded in Clisty’s direction. Clisty stiffened and Jake took her hand. She could feel his warmth caress her skin. She squeezed his palm and tried to relax. “Sharon, have you seen a young woman around here that isn’t from the neighborhood?” “Yes, that was another strange thing. Before you got here, this woman slithered around the side of the door and slipped in. It seemed to me she might have been dodging someone. Her eyes darted around the restaurant and she shifted back and forth.”

Clisty’s heart pounded as she held her breath. “And . . .?” “She said she saw you come in here earlier today and asked me to give this to you.” Sharon reached into her apron pocket and drew out a pink plastic hair bow. “She said it’s yours.” Clisty took the barrette from Sharon’s hand and rolled it over and over. Tears came to her eyes and threatened to spill down her cheeks. She blotted them with a napkin. “Yes, it’s mine,” she whispered. “Becca,” her voice cracked. “I gave this to Faith the morning of our last day together. Her hair kept falling in her eyes.” “Who is Faith?” Jake asked. “She’s your missing witness to the escaped bank robber suspect,” Clisty announced. “I recognized her in—“ “The ATM video!” Sharon squealed and pointed to the TV. “I saw her on your news cast and thought she looked familiar. She had the same scar above her left eyebrow. Clisty, I thought someone had killed her years ago.” “That’s what everyone thought, except her parents . . . and me. This proves even more, that she’s alive.” The child at the counter hopped down and slowly approached the small table. “No, Ma’am. That clip is mine,” she announced.

“Yours?” Becca asked. “Miss Sinclair said it belongs to her, Honey,” Jake chimed in. But the girl shook her head in defiance while willful curls slipped to her eyebrows. “No, it’s not. It’s mine.” She grabbed the hair bow, wiggled back up onto the bar stool and took another gulp of hot chocolate with the barrette clasped tightly in her hand. Clisty got up, slowly walked over and gently touched her small shoulder. “I had one just like it.” Her eyes glistened. “I gave it to my very best friend in all the world.” She started to reach out for it but stopped when the child pulled back. “What’s your name?” “My name’s Pooky.” She held the hair clip in both hands and drew it close in a caress. “My momma gave me the hair bow a long time ago.” Clisty wrapped her arms around the girl. “My name is Pooky too. I think I know your mother.” She looked over at Jake and Becca and smiled. “We have to hurry but I think we can find her before the eleven o’clock news.” a
