Editor’S NotE

Summer is slowing down. The kids are back in school, the days are shorter and it’s just a couple of weeks until what many of us consider the last big hurrah of the season – Labor Day. Due to the horrible heat wave and drought conditions that ruined

a few of the traditional summer highlights we look forward to, I’m ready for a change. However, I’ll be the first to admit, I’m one of those people who complains about it being too hot during summer and then too cold during winter. Not so much because I’m never satisfied, more because I look forward to each change. In addition to the traditions I can count on regularly each season of

each year, I anticipate the new stuff, such as changing my wardrobe and engaging in new seasonal activities. Change is good — even if it’s just the simple ebb and flow of the seasons. It keeps us on our toes. Starting with this issue, She magazine is providing another way to

instigate change in your life with our annual healthy lifestyles con-test. Formerly known as She Wants in Her Skinny Jeans, this year’s contest — Strong, Healthy, Empowered — has been revamped. Our decision to rename the program comes from an honest place. Co-sponsor Tipton Lakes Athletic Club (where the workouts and weigh-ins are held during the contest) has a campaign the staff calls Strong is the New Skinny, and we love that concept. It shouldn’t be about a number on the scale, and after two years of

contestant testimonials about their experiences, we realized it never really was. The women who come away from the program leave feel-ing more healthy and confident, and that’s what everyone involved always wanted. Find out the details and how you can enter in the story to follow.Of course as always, enjoy reading!

Sharon Stark has a monopolyon free parking enforcement


With reality shows like “Parking Wars” showing the reac-tions of disgruntled citizens to parking citations, it’s hard to envy anyone in a parking officer’s position. For parking enforcement officer Sharon Stark, that show couldn’t be further from the truth. She has worked for the Columbus Police Department

for 30 years and has served in her current position for 28 years. She enjoys waking up and going to work every morning. “I meet a lot of good people downtown that want to see

us enforce parking downtown,” she said. Stark started out as a dispatcher with the police depart-

ment before the schedule became too hectic to juggle with a young child at home. Every two months dispatcher shifts switched, making it hard to have a set schedule as a single mother. “(Former Mayor) Fred Armstrong was captain of the

police office at the time,” Stark said. “He told me of the job opening, thinking it would be good for me since I was single with a daughter.”The Monday-through-Friday schedule worked out much

better for Stark’s family. Thankful for the change, she never looked back. She took on her new position in the parking enforcement office and has been a staple in the downtown community ever since. Stark starts her routine at the police department at 8 a.m.

during the week. She checks her email to see if anyone has a permit to park that she should be aware of and then sets out on her first round of the day. The territory that she covers is the downtown area from Third and Washington to Eighth and Washington.“I start in different areas. I may do the same route a few

days and then switch. I never try to keep the route the same,” she said.

Before she even writes the first license plate num-ber down, Stark is being waved at and greeted by local business owners and downtown workers. It’s com-mon for her to engage in quick conversation with sev-eral people throughout her rounds. She says hello to almost everyone she passes, no matter if she has seen them before or not. Downtown parking rules allow for three hours of

parking per car within a business day. On Stark’s first round out, she takes down the license plate numbers of the cars that are parked. She also looks to see if peo-ple are parked on yellow curbs, in loading zones, as well as in handicap parking spots without the proper documentation. First-time offenders who are still in the parking spot

when Stark comes back three hours later get a warn-ing. After the initial warning, the tickets start at $10 and go up to $30. One thing that seems to often con-fuse people is that they cannot leave one three-hour parking spot and go to another one in the same day. That can result in multiple tickets in one day. Stark says she understands that people aren’t happy

about their tickets from time-to-time and will ask her why they got a ticket. There are no times that she can recollect where someone has been threatening. “When people get mad, it’s mostly because they

were caught,” she said. “When you explain it to them, they seem to calm down and understand.”Stark plays no favorites when it comes to enforce-

ment. She has given tickets to friends and even to her husband and daughter. She said they know the rules and that it is just a part of her duties. Both her hus-band and daughter paid them without protest. Lisa Williams, supervisor of records and parking, has

worked with Stark on and off for 25 years. Williams takes care of processing the paperwork for the tickets that Stark gives. She also sets up any court dates for unpaid parking tickets. Williams handles more angry patrons on a daily ba-

sis than Stark does. However, much like Stark, she said once you explain the citation to the people and clarify the rules, they seem to be OK with paying the ticket. After working together for 25 years these women

have gotten to know each other very well. “(Sharon) enjoys what she does and is very vocal

about her opinion,” Williams said. “She does a good job and tries to keep traffic moving.”Stark enjoys talking to new people and helping

whenever possible, whether it be giving them direc-tions or offering a suggestion on a good restaurant. She enjoys spending her free time with her husband,

three children and five grandchildren. She also likes cooking, reading, her two poodles and traveling.

Jean Jones has brought comfort

to hospice patients for 30 years

‘Compassionateheart’


By JeNNifer wiLLhite

With compassion, caring and understanding, Jean Jones has used her personal experience to make a difference in the lives of the terminally ill for nearly three decades.Following the deaths of her parents in the late

1970s and early 1980s, Jones began volunteering with Hospice of South Central Indiana with the hope of helping others. The former secretary retired from Public Service In-

diana in 1984. Prior to her retirement, Jones applied to become a volunteer for hospice and began her training in 1983. For nearly 30 years, she has used her experi-ence to help the terminally ill and their families.“What I had been through with my parents, I felt

like with that type of experience, I could be of help to someone else,” she said. “I certainly wish there had been hospice when my parents were ill.”Since starting her work with the nonprofit, she says,

she has been on both sides. During her training, Jones met her husband, Bob, who was also training as a vol-unteer. After 22 years of marriage, he passed away from cancer six years ago. According to the mother of three, the most chal-

lenging part about being a hospice volunteer is the attachment that forms between volunteer and pa-tient. Jones said she feels the loss when the indi-vidual passes away, but on the other hand, “you are glad for them because they are out of their suffering and pain, and they’re at peace.”


Not all who volunteer with hospice work di-rectly with the patients. Jones said it is up to the discretion of the volunteer as to how she helps out. Those who do not feel comfortable work-ing directly with patients and families may opt to work in the office, library or in another less direct role. Jones works directly with the patients and their families.Giving an average of four hours a week, she vis-

its hospice patients in their homes and at area nursing homes. Families with special needs can sometimes require more of a volunteer’s time. In some cases, family members may simply need a break to run errands, and they need someone to sit with their family member while they’re gone. Working with those who are in their last stages

of life is a learning experience for Jones. “They still have a lot to give,” she said. “Some of

them like to just kind of tell you their life story, and you sit and listen and let them reminisce. To me, I’ve learned the value. “Every human being is valuable, they really are.”Looking back, Jones says she’s worked with

many memorable individuals. Among them was a 90-year-old woman who loved to play Scrabble. When the patient was feeling up to it, she and Jones would have a weekly game. Jones said she was struck by her mental acuity. The woman’s family hosted a reception follow-

ing her funeral. Jones recalled they had taken the pieces of a Scrabble game and drilled a hole in the corner of each letter tile. Stringing the tiles on leather, they made necklaces and gave them to people who attended the funeral to remember her by. Marcia Bundura, manager of volunteer services

for Hospice of South Central Indiana, first met Jones in 1993 after becoming the volunteer co-ordinator. From their first meeting, Bundura was struck by her pleasant demeanor and knew instantly she had a “caring and compassionate heart.”Bundura said Jones has a special, trusting rap-

port with her patients. She said the patients know if Jones says she will be there or do something for them, she will keep her word and follow through.According to Bundura, hospice volunteers are

there to support the patients and their families, not to judge or change them. During training, they are taught to embrace every assignment in-dividually and to not be biased. They get to know each patient by listening.

“Jean brings a peaceful, calming presence when

she is with a patient. She can sit so sweetly by their

bedside and listen to them, and they know she is

truly hearing them. When she does respond, it is always

with hope and a positive certainty for the patient

that they will be taken care of and are loved.”

— Marcia Bundura

“Jean brings a peaceful, calming presence when she is with a patient,” Bundura said. “She can sit so sweetly by their bedside and listen to them, and they know she is truly hearing them. When she does respond, it is always with hope and a positive certainty for the patient that they will be taken care of and are loved.” Jones truly appreciates the gift of the patients

and families allowing her to come into their lives. Seeing the invitation as a special gift, she said volunteering for hospice is a blessing and a transforming experience. The Brownstown na-tive feels it has taught her to be kinder, more patient and genuine.“The biggest thing to do for them is to give

them love,” Jones said. “And they usually love you back in some way.”The self-proclaimed “exercise nut” said she

attends exercise classes a couple of times a

week. Since starting her regimen, Jones feels much healthier. Recently, she took up cycling at the behest of a close friend who has been a good motivation for her. Jones has participated in two organized rides, including the Girlfriend Ride in June, benefiting Turning Point Domes-tic Violence Services. When she’s not volunteering or exercising,

Jones spends time with family and friends. The grandmother of eight says she is anxiously awaiting the arrival of her first great-grand-child. So where does she see herself in the years to

come? Still volunteering.“It’s just become so much a part of my life that

I don’t know what I would do without it,” she said. “I really feel I receive more from being a volunteer than anything I give.”

Perhaps you’ve heard of boudoir photog-raphy. This niche form of the business is sweeping the nation and bringing a bit of ooh la la into the lives of everyday women — allowing them the chance to feel like a model for a moment, no matter their size, shape or age. A boudoir photography ses-sion can be whatever the client and photog-rapher decide, but in its simplest definition it is private glamour pin-up or intimate pho-tography. Seymour photographer Marinda Fowler

specializes in boudoir photography and is the only area photographer who openly ad-vertises it as part of her services.We sat down with Fowler for a little ques-

tion-and-answer session on how she feels about her passion.

SHE: How did you get into boudoir photography?

FOWLER: I had seen beautiful im-ages from some of my favorite boudoir pho-tographers online and thought they were stunning, but wasn’t sure if it was some-thing that I would ever do. When a friend of a friend asked if I would be interested in helping with a project to send to her fiancé in Iraq, I jumped at the idea. We had a blast doing her photo shoot. I knew then that it was something that I would be doing more

of in the future. However, that future came almost a year later. I reached out to a friend and asked if she’d let me do a practice shoot with her. Her friends saw her photos, then those friends’ friends saw photos, and my boudoir photography business took off.

SHE:What do you like about this niche?

FOWLER: I am very passionate about my work, as most photographers are. How-ever, boudoir photography is by far my strength and what I am most passionate about. I love working with the soccer moms who claim that they do not have an ounce of sensuality in them, only to prove them wrong with tangible proof that they are still the same beautiful and sexy person that they thought they had lost! I love creating one-of-a-kind gifts for my

brides to give to their grooms for wedding presents — trust me, the grooms love them. I love empowering the recently separated/divorced woman who is very vulnerable. I love photographing the curvy girls that tell me they have never felt comfortable in front of the camera, let alone actually feeling beautiful and sexy in front of the camera. I love boudoir photography because it al-

lows me to give a woman a gift that cannot be purchased — the gift of feeling sexy, con-fident, empowered and beautiful.

The look on my clients’ faces when they see their photos on the back of my camera dur-ing a shoot (yes, I will usually show you a few photos during your shoot), the emails claim-ing that they cannot believe that the person they’re seeing in their photos is really them, and the tearful phone calls I get when a client is seeing herself — really actually seeing her-self as someone else sees her — are all the rea-sons why I know that boudoir photography is my fit in this industry.

SHE: What’s your philosophy when it comes to this kind of photography and work-ing with your clients?

FOWLER: I strongly believe that all women are beautiful. We come in all shapes and sizes. We’re all wonderfully unique. I’ve photographed women in all shapes, sizes and ages. One thing remains constant — we’re also all very highly critical of ourselves. The wom-en we see portrayed in the media are always beautifully polished and perfectly airbrushed. It’s no wonder that we are so critical. It’s my goal to give my clients the proof that regard-less of what they might think, yes, they are all capable of being beautiful, sexy and sensual. I fully believe that all women owe themselves the opportunity to let loose of those insecuri-ties for a couple of hours and let themselves have fun — all while we create amazing images of them. I create really beautiful images of real wom-

en. I enhance my client’s best features and hide those that they don’t like. My philosophy is that we’re all beautiful just the way we are.

SHE: How does a typical session with you work? What’s included and what does the pro-cess involve?

FOWLER: My boudoir sessions are done in either my client’s home or a local hotel. I also host boudoir events where I rent out a hotel suite, bring in a hair and makeup team, and have my clients come in for a couple of hours of fun, pampering and photos. Sometimes I jointly host a boudoir event with (photogra-pher) Whitney Ulm of Eminence Photography (Columbus). Those are a blast! A typical session starts actually before the

session. I give my clients tips and ideas for everything from hair and makeup to how to relax before their shoot. Then on the day of their sessions, my clients have their hair and makeup done (or do it themselves). I then help my client decide which outfit choices will work best for her and the environment we’re working in. From there, we get started with

our shoot. I work with the available light and cre-ative posing to bring out the best in my clients. I get compliments from all of my clients that I made them feel very relaxed, and it eased their nerves.A boudoir session with me includes either a photo

album, disk of images or both. Sometimes, I’ll have a boudoir client absolutely love her images and or-der large wall prints. However, most of my clients want a little black book that they can then choose to share with their significant other.

SHE: What is your favorite part of boudoir photography? And what do your clients say is their favorite part?

FOWLER: My favorite part of boudoir pho-tography is the reaction from my clients. I also love the reaction from my clients’ husbands. I’ve gotten a few phone calls or messages from the husbands thanking me for gifting their wife with beautiful images and giving their wife the chance to see themselves as the husband does. It’s truly one of the best feel-ings in the world to know that with my vision, I can give a woman the ability to feel beautiful and sexy. I think my clients’ favorite part of boudoir

photography is the tangible proof that even af-ter having children, even after the aging, even after this crazy thing called life, they’ve still got it. Marinda Fowler is the owner of Marmalade

Cris Baldwin was 7 when she commandeered her brother’s minibike on their Wisconsin dairy farm and first felt the wind in her face. More than 250,000 miles and 42 years later, it’s still two wheels and a gas tank for the school administrator.Baldwin is an assistant dean at Washington University in St.

Louis, but that’s just one part of her. She’s also past president and a chapter founder of the 30-year-old Women on Wheels, one of the country’s oldest and largest motorcycle clubs for women at about 2,000 members.“It really is freeing from your day-to-day obligations, enjoying

the moment, not thinking about bills or sending kids to college,” Baldwin said. “I wouldn’t trade it for anything. It’s my two-wheel therapy.”The number of women motorcycle operators in the U.S. has in-

creased slowly to about 7.2 million of about 27 million overall in 2009, according to the latest survey by the Motorcycle Industry Council. About 1 in 10 owners are women, said Cam Arnold, a vice president for the trade group.

Ridership is on the rise

Women motorcycles:&

Roshani Dubel of Gilbert, Ariz., won an essay contesttelling harley-Davidson why she wanted to learnto ride a motorcycle.


“I hate riding on the back of a bike,” Arnold said. “It’s a lot more fun being in control.”The American Motorcyclist Association has about 225,000

members. The number of women is under 10 percent, but the number of new women members has increased, driven in part by a higher profile for women on two wheels, more training opportunities and better equipment, said AMA board member Maggie McNally.Dozens of female-only motorcycle clubs have joined more es-

tablished groups like Women on Wheels. The makers of bikes and gear are reaching out to women like never before through special events and marketing campaigns that include Harley-Davidson’s “No Doubts. No Cages.” program.Women no longer have to endure jackets, gloves and helmets

designed for men. And it’s easier to find or modify bikes for shorter bodies, said McNally, the AMA’s vice chairwoman and the highest-ranking female in the group’s 75-year history.“I’m only 5-1,” she said. “I wore boys work boots for years

and found the perfect gloves only three years ago. Things have changed a lot. Manufacturers today have realized that women are a huge part of the market.”McNally started riding in 1981 after hanging out with friends,

thinking up dream cars, in a Troy, N.Y., parking lot, the same parking lot where she now teaches newbies of both sexes how to ride safely.

“I said that I wanted to get a motorcycle and one of the guys said, ‘You can’t, girls don’t ride motorcycles,’” she said. “I thought, ‘He shouldn’t be telling a temperamental redhead what she can and cannot do.’ I had my permit within a week.”Whether they prefer dirt or the open road, a scooter or a

Harley, thousands of women gathered in July in Carson City, Nev., for the AMA’s sixth International Women & Motorcy-cling Conference. Many were mothers, an anxious status for some when it comes to riding.“People were shocked that I didn’t sell my bike when I be-

came a mom,” McNally said, “but I knew that once the bike was gone, I might never get back into the sport.”When her second child came along, she and her husband

bought a sidecar. “Riding and motorcycle camping became a family activity that probably wouldn’t have been possible oth-erwise,” she said.At 5-3 and about 150 pounds, Baldwin rides a 700-pound

Harley “clone” designed and built by her husband. Her mom, now 69, was an inspiration, tearing around their farm on a Honda trail bike.“She gave up riding because she couldn’t find other women

to ride with. And my dad was totally against it,” Baldwin said.Women are generally more interested in formal safety train-

ing than men, with 58 percent of women taking a rider course, compared with 44 percent of men, according to the AMA.Harley-Davidson, based in Milwaukee, is the market leader

in sales to women. The company travels around the country offering training and safety tips for women.“We’ve heard from enough women who think they might

like to do it but don’t know how to get started,” said Claudia Garber, director of women’s outreach for Harley. “They’re worried about things like the bike seems too big and too heavy for me, or maybe I don’t know other women who ride.”Roshani Dubel, 33, an eighth-grade math teacher and moth-

er of three in Gilbert, Ariz., was more than ready, but she had to face those fears after winning an essay contest telling Har-ley why she wanted to learn to ride. She and three others were flown to Milwaukee for mentoring and training last summer.A video documenting her struggle shows her breaking down

emotionally as she tries to walk the bike back and forth. “I’m 5 feet tall. I kept thinking to myself, ‘How am I going to ride if I can’t even walk this monster?’” Things clicked eventually. She’s logged more than 800 miles

on her Harley since, cheered by her students and fellow teach-ers when she rolled up to her school on it for the first time.Nancy Dilley, 68, of Overland Park, Kan., may never get

there, but she sat astride a Harley as she learned the basics while the rear tire spun safely on a platform during one of the company’s events.“I had an uncle and he had a big Harley. I was his favorite

passenger because nobody else ever wanted to ride with him,” she said. “We’d go all over out in the country riding, but once I got married and had kids I didn’t want to do it anymore. I felt I had too much responsibility.”Will that change now that she’s had a taste of what it feels

like up front? “I’m kind of a chicken, but it was interesting,” she said.

Familiar faces

HBO documentary tellsbehind-the-scenes stories

of models

By aLiCia raNCiLio | assoCiated PressassoCiated Press Photos

There was a time when models really were super. Cindy Crawford, Christie Brinkley, Claudia Schiffer and Nikki Taylor were household names, plastered on magazine covers, dominating advertisements.Now that every model is called a supermodel, the list

of recognizable names is much smaller and mostly re-tired. Giselle. Heidi Klum. Anyone else?“The covers have been taken over by the celebrities,

and all of the makeup and hair ads have been taken over by celebrities,” model Kim Alexis said in a recent interview, “and we want our jobs back.”The new HBO documentary “About Face: Super-

models Then and Now” documents the rise of these models from the 1940s through the ’80s, when Alexis

model China machado

Clockwise from top left:

said, “You would see me on the cover of Glamour and Vogue and Mademoiselle and also doing a Cover Girl ad and a Maybelline ad all in the same magazine.”The documentary shares the models’ personal career

and beauty stories.Director Timothy Greenfield-Sanders said he came

up with the idea for the documentary at a party for supermodels from the ’70s and ’80s. “I walked into a party that my friend was giving, and

I looked around the room and saw these gorgeous women and thought, ‘Geez, that’s a photo or some-thing. No one’s shot them in a while; it would be an interesting group shot.’ And as I got to know them I thought, ‘Oh, this is obviously a film.’”“About Face” also introduces viewers to a time when

modeling wasn’t glamorous, says Greenfield, like when Carmen Dell’Orefice began modeling in the 1940s. She began modeling as a teen and is still model-ing today at 81 years old.“Carmen talked about how (modeling) was really not

a profession you’d ever want your child to go into. And that changed, and by the time models became celeb-rities, and then parents thought, ‘Oh, this is a good profession for my daughter.’ That’s a big change in 50 years.”The film also shows how even models worry about

signs of aging, like wrinkles and changes to their fig-ure.Karen Bjornson, who began modeling in the 1970s,

admits in the documentary that she had an eye lift be-fore walking in a 2002 Ralph Rucci runway show.Race was also once an issue in the industry. China Machado, who also began modeling in the

1950s, is half Chinese, half Portuguese. She first found success as a house model in Europe, where she would model clothing from fashion collections like Givenchy for prospective buyers. It wasn’t until she began modeling in the U.S. that her

ethnicity became an issue.“Harper’s Bazaar publisher didn’t want to publish

my pictures because they thought subscribers in the South would all cancel.”Ironically she ended as its fashion editor from 1962

to 1972.Beverly Johnson, who made history as the first black

model to appear on the cover of American Vogue in 1974, believes the documentary pulls back the veil on the modeling industry in a way that hasn’t been done before.“I think that there will probably be two reactions.

One is, ‘Those beautiful models, they’re getting their due now. They’re aging just like we are.’ Or they’re gonna say, ‘Wow, even she, the supermodel, is having the same angst I’m having about growing old.’ I think you’ll have those two dynamics going on.”

Because it’s the summer (and an incredibly hot summer at that), in an effort to keep the readers’ attention, I am reducing this month’s article to several quick hits and observations: A party alternative — Recently, my wife and

I attended a small gathering with friends from the neighborhood. Getting together with this group is not uncommon, but this particular evening separated itself from the others. With little no-tice, we agreed to a progressive-style evening, go-ing from house to house, with an Olympic theme. In short, each household was able to choose from any of the countries participating in the 2012 Olympics and then to adopt that country as its own for the night. Each household had the op-tion of providing food, drink, trivia and games indigenous to its adopted country. The creativity displayed with the attire, deco-

rations, games, food, etc., on such short notice, was shocking and quite enjoyable. My wife en-joyed the décor and the outfits. I enjoyed the food and games. In all, the evening was very much a success, and I would highly recom-mend doing so with neighbors, friends and/or family if possible, before summer is over. If you elect to go with an Olympic theme, we sug-gest one rule — no household is allowed to pick a North American country. It’s too easy and doesn’t require as much research.Us vs. them — Catching my wife and me

off-guard this summer has been the relationship

developing between our two children. This time last year, our boys would horse around together, and inevitably, there would be a point requiring discipline. When that time came, you could pret-ty quickly determine which culprit bounced the ball in the house, left the toilet unflushed or the refrigerator door open, etc., because each would gladly offer up the other when asked. Now, how-ever, it appears they are doing something my wife and I never thought would occur — they are de-fending one another against the accusations of their parents or attempting to help rationalize the other’s actions. This is not headed in a good direction. Regardless of the view from Mars or Venus, my wife and I collectively see this devel-opment as the beginning of an uprising of sorts, and it is giving us early concern over the future teenage years. From a karmic perspective, my wife blames me. Manning vs. Luck – As Labor Day ap-

proaches, Andrew Luck will be placed on dis-play as the new Indianapolis Colts quarterback. Luck has been saddled with every comparison to Peyton Manning known to man. All are unfair. Regardless of how well Luck does this season, his rookie play will be measured against Hall of Fame caliber play each week. Unfortunately, I am forced to add to Luck’s list of undeserving com-parisons. Recently, it dawned on me that only one of the

16 games for this upcoming season is scheduled

for prime-time television. In other words, there are 15 games that will play in the middle of Sun-day afternoon. In the last decade, I could always count on many of the games — especially the key matchups — being played in the evening hours. The evening games were always a better time slot for a father of two young children. However, if the games were in the afternoon, Peyton’s teams were so highly competitive that even my wife was curious as to how the Colts fared that day. In fact, in recent years my wife would watch portions of the games with me in the middle of the afternoon — and not question why our unmowed lawn had gone to seed. For the 2012 NFL season, however, I am con-

cerned that my rope may not be as long. With a quarterback not named Manning playing for a team expected to be at the bottom of the divi-sion this year, I fret about the view from Venus. I worry that my wife sees another 3-and-13 sea-son in the future and a real opportunity for our family to complete household projects this autumn that have otherwise gone neglected for the last decade. It’s not fair to blame Andrew Luck, but I do. Tim Coriden lives in Columbus

with his wife and two children.

My favorite answer to just about any question is, “It depends.” Deciding when to claim Social Se-curity is no exception. Maximizing lifetime Social Security benefits can be tricky. If you assume that you will have an average life expectancy, there is no benefit to delaying benefits. The formula works out so that you will receive the same total amount re-gardless of when you start taking benefits. But we all know that very few of us will have exactly aver-age life expectancies. This makes deciding when to start benefits more complicated.Making the right choice can possibly add thou-

sands of dollars over your lifetime. Most people make the mistake of claiming benefits as soon as they are eligible. In some instances it is better to tap other assets before claiming Social Security. Some key factors to consider when deciding when

to apply:

1 Early application results in lower benefits — If you apply early, your benefit amount starts

lower and stays lower for life. For example, some-one whose full retirement age is 66 and begins tak-ing benefits at age 62 will receive 24 percent less than if they waited.

2 COLAs (Cost of Living Adjustments) — For-tunately benefits are inflation-adjusted. These

adjustments magnify the impact of early or delayed retirement. The longer you live, the more beneficial it is to delay benefits.

3Health status and life expectancy — How is your health? Does your family typically expe-

rience a longer than average lifespan? The website www.livingto100.com can help decide if you might be a candidate for a longer-than-average life expec-tancy. The site says that it “uses the most current

and carefully researched medical and scientific data in order to estimate how old you will live to be.” It takes about 10 minutes to complete and consists of 40 questions. About one out of every four 65-year-olds today will live past age 90, and one out of 10 will live past age 95.

4Need for income — Do you have access to other resources to bridge the gap until

you start drawing Social Security? Sometimes it makes more sense to use existing savings in the early part of retirement.

5Whether or not you plan to work — If you plan to continue working, there is little

incentive to start drawing Social Security be-fore your full retirement age.

6 Survivor needs — Some instances that may indicate that it is beneficial to de-

lay taking benefits would be if one spouse has significantly more lifetime earnings than the other or there is a significant age difference in spouses. As more women work, get divorced and re-

marry, benefit decisions get even more com-plicated. It can also be beneficial to understand how later-in-life marriages will affect benefits. The bottom line is that it is important to un-derstand how your specific circumstances will affect your decision. You can find more infor-mation on-line at www.socialsecurity.gov or www.aarp.com. I also tell clients that there is no right deci-

sion. We are making choices based on educated guesses of what the future holds. Only hind-sight is 20/20. That is one of the reasons I en-courage people not to second-guess themselves once they make a decision. The main thing is to look at what is important in your life, what level of income you will need to support those values and what resources you have available. Jalene Hahn is a certified public

Branch out in your use of watermelon and turn it into a salad. Cube it in bite-size chunks (and get rid of those seeds) and combine with baby greens, sliced red on-ion, feta, olives and fresh oregano. Toss with a simple vinaigrette, season with salt and freshly ground black pepper. Mmm.Partial to watermelon? Add it to lemonade and make

watermelon-ade. Seed the watermelon and cut into chunks to make 8 cups, then puree. Add to 4 cups lem-onade and you’ve got a treat. If it sits for too long, the liquid gets cloudy, so give it a gentle stir.Cool off with flavored waters you make yourself.

Try adding cucumber slices to water, with or without sprigs of mint or thyme. Or combine cucumber with citrus slices. Pair honeydew, cantaloupe and cucum-ber. Or slice strawberries and add to the water. Choose only orange, lime or lemon slices. Chill and enjoy.Make sangria with fresh fruit and either white or

red wines. For a white sangria, choose a dry white wine. Pour several bottles into a container and combine with citrus fruits (lemons, limes, or-anges) and a handful of barely crushed ber-ries if you have them. Chill and serve as a spritzer with half sparkling water.Or perhaps the more traditional red san-

gria is your go-to summer beverage. Start with fruity red wine and combine with lemon, lime and orange slices. Serve as a spritzer by mixing in lemon-lime soda, or sweeten with your own simple syrup (half sugar, half water, heated to melt sugar) and add to wine with sparkling water.

In summer there’s a surplus of everything: from string beans and sunshine to baby zucchini and daylil-ies or cherries and good spirits. Check out the crowds at the farmers market who, in

the midst of summer, seem almost giddy with the food choices before them. This is what we wait for — hope for — during the long, dark days of winter when “lo-cal” means root vegetables. Indulge in the plentiful choices that our markets and

farmers have to offer. Then head to the kitchen or out-door grill, where the first harvest means an explosion of taste. Dinner doesn’t get any better than this.


salad by boiling Yukon golds until tender, then cube and toss them with red onion, bell pepper, salsa verde, chopped avocado and salt to taste. Top with chopped fresh cilantro and cotija cheese.Think pasta and combine with fresh vegeta-

bles. Add chopped tomatoes and onion slices with a garlicky vinaigrette. Thinly slice zuc-chini lengthwise into ribbons using a mando-lin or grater. If adding any other vegetables to the pasta, such as snap peas, blanch them for a minute or two in the pasta water. Serve with grated Parmesan.Or maybe it’s a Greek pasta salad that gets

your attention: Cook orzo, the rice-shaped pasta. Saute chopped zucchini, yellow squash and green onions. Toss with the cooked orzo and add chopped cherry tomatoes, parsley, dill, goat cheese, salt and pepper. Drizzle a little vin-aigrette in the salad to finish it off. If you like, place the salad atop baby greens.Not just for the kids: Make your

own frozen treats by combining va-nilla ice cream or plain yogurt with ber-ries (strawberries would need to be cut up and sweetened). Put them into molds or other containers, such as paper cups, and freeze. Add sticks for handles when partially frozen.Roast red, yellow and orange peppers over the

grill or under the broiler by heating them un-til the skin blisters and becomes dark all over. Place the peppers in a paper bag or covered dish to let the skin “sweat” off. Rinse under cold water and brush off the blistered skin. Use the roasted peppers in salads, with pasta or on a vegetable platter.Add a poached egg to just about any pile of

steamed vegetables. It’s especially good atop haricot verts (the skinny green beans) or cooked greens. For green beans, steam or boil them and cool in ice water; pat dry. Then toss with a vinaigrette. Top with the egg.Add fresh herbs to any homemade vinaigrette.

Start with a 2:1 proportion of olive oil to acid (such as vinegar or juices). Then experiment to find your preference for best ratio for a dress-ing. Add a mashed garlic clove and a little Dijon mustard. Whisk together with salt and freshly cracked pepper and your favorite herb.Looking for no-cook options? Make zucchini

carpaccio: Thinly slice zucchini crosswise us-ing a mandolin or grater and spread out on a platter, covering it completely. Drizzle olive oil over zucchini, along with a little lemon juice. Top with finely grated Parmesan, a little salt and chopped fresh mint.Beet salad your style? Thinly slice beets and

cut into matchsticks (wear rubber gloves to


prevent staining). Add thin red onion slices and chopped flat-leaf parsley. Toss with an orange juice vinaigrette (2:1 olive oil to OJ) and let sit about 30 minutes. Season with salt and pepper and drizzle a little more vinaigrette.Make breakfast parfaits by layering plain yo-

gurt with berries or pitted cherries and granola. What a way to start the morning.Take advantage of the fleeting cherry season

by pureeing pitted cherries with hibiscus tea, sweetened with sugar. Serve over ice.Grill your favorite vegetables on skewers (soak

skewers for 30 minutes beforehand if they are wooden). For even heating, place like vegetables on a single skewer or make all vegetable pieces roughly the same size. A nice combo: bell pep-per chunks, yellow summer squash or zucchini, mushrooms, cherry tomatoes, onions.Toss cooked snap peas with pesto, salt and

freshly cracked black pepper for a tasty side dish.This is homemade salsa time as tomatoes be-

gin to ripen. Seed tomatoes and chop them. Combine with onion, serrano or jalapeno pep-pers, a little lime juice and salt. Add chopped cilantro if you like it. Or use diced zucchini and cucumbers as the base with just a little tomato. Add a little vinegar and olive oil and a handful of chopped chives.Make curried onion chutney to serve with

grilled vegetables or sesame or rice crack-ers: Saute 3 chopped sweet onions with 2 or 3 minced garlic cloves in 1 tablespoon oil for about 10 minutes or until lightly browned. Let cool and put onions in blender with 2 table-spoons sesame oil, leaving some chunks. Serve at room temperature.Need a summer dessert? Make a layered trifle

with berries or other fruit, slices of pound cake and plenty of whipped cream. Want more fla-vor? Whip in a little mascarpone cheese when you’re beating the cream.

Beyond stir-fry: Peel carrots and cut them into large chunks of equal size. Toss with

olive oil and sprigs of fresh thyme. Sprinkle with salt and pepper and

roast them in the oven until tender, about 1 hour at 400 degrees (any temperature is fine, if something else is in the oven).Bruschetta: Seed and chop toma-

toes and mix with a little olive oil, chopped fresh basil, salt and pep-

per. Let sit for 30 minutes or more. Toast ½-inch thick slices of a baguette.

Rub one side of each with slice of garlic; brush same side with olive oil. Top bread

slices with tomato mixture and serve immedi-ately.


Make your own green goddess dressing: Combine 1/3 cup minced parsley, 1/3 cup minced chives, 1 tablespoon minced green onions, ¼ cup minced fresh tarragon with 2 ounces anchovy paste, 3 cups mayonnaise and 1/3 cup tarragon vinegar. Chill and dress green salads. Makes 4 cups.A simple smooth blueberry sauce: Puree 1 pint

of blueberries in a blender or food processor with 3 tablespoons sugar and 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice. Strain through a fine-mesh sieve. Taste and add more juice or sugar, if needed. Serve with pan-cakes or waffles or over ice cream.Toss new potatoes with a little olive oil and sea-

son with salt and pepper. Seal in a foil packet and grill over medium-high heat until tender, about 30 minutes. Sprinkle with herbs before serving, such as fresh parsley or thyme.For breakfast or dessert: Combine bite-size

chunks of cantaloupe with blackberries or blue-berries, a bit of sugar, a little grated fresh ginger and a little fresh lime juice and zest. Let marinate at least 30 minutes. Toss with bits of fresh mint before serving.

For two years, the program She Wants in Her Skinny Jeans has asked local women to explain what the term “skin-ny jeans” means to them. Each year the final contestants selected have em-barked on a 12-week journey to learn proper nutrition and exercise tech-niques. However, we also have learned a thing or two, so this year we’re chang-ing things up a bit with our 2012 chal-lenge, starting with a new name — Strong, Healthy, Empowered.

By KeLsey deCLue


This year’s challenge has the same goal — to give 12 lucky women a lease on a new healthy lifestyle. However we decided to change the name because since its inception, the program has become so much more to its contestants than a weight loss gig. The term “skinny” just doesn’t cut it. And frankly, it has never been the priority.“So many women today

are worried about being ‘skinny,’ but how many of them are worried about be-ing ‘healthy?’” said Megan McGriff, general manager and trainer at Tipton Lakes Athletic Club. “We want to change that mentality. It’s time to change the game!”Once again, McGriff, her

husband and fitness direc-tor, Ian, and their TLAC staff are sponsoring and guiding the 12-week pro-gram and will be incorporat-ing principles from two of the club’s female-centered

campaigns.“We’ll be pushing the wom-

en out of their comfort zone and challenging them to think differently about nutri-tion, exercise and their bod-ies,” Megan McGriff said. “We want the women to be upfront and honest with us and themselves, and in turn, we promise that this chal-lenge will be a safe place for them to let go of any nega-tive thoughts they have about their body or their ability to create the body they want.”As in years past, the con-

testants will receive a tem-porary club membership, the opportunity to train with TLAC trainers and an exer-cise and nutrition handbook to guide them. The top three contestants will receive a monetary prize, sponsored by Hilliard Lyons, Coca-Co-la – Smart Water, Fair Oaks Mall, Bob Poynter GMC, Renner Motors, Red Lips Spatique, TLAC and The Re-

public’s She magazine. Win-ners will be chosen based on the percentage of body fat lost during the 12 weeks.“We’re looking for women

who’ve tried every diet plan and either failed or gained the weight back,” said Ian McGriff. “We’re looking for women who’ve lost weight in the past, only to gain it right back. They have had, or have come painfully close to having, the body they wanted, but it was only tem-porary.“We are looking for women

who are always tired and nev-er have energy.“If any of those things apply,

we’re looking for you.”To apply for Strong, Healthy,

Empowered, complete and submit the form, along with a photo of yourself, to The Republic, 333 Second St., by Aug. 22.

“Gold,” by Chris Cleave. $27Kate and Zoe met at 19 when they both made the cut for the national training program in track cycling — a sport that demands intense focus, blinding exertion and unwavering commitment. Now at 32, the women are facing their last and big-gest race: the 2012 Olympics. Each wants desperately to win gold, and each has more than a medal to lose. Kate is the more naturally gifted, but the demands of her life have a tendency to slow her down. Her 8-year-old daughter, Sophie, dreams of the Death Star and of battling alongside the Rebels as evil white blood cells ravage her personal galaxy. She

is fighting a recurrence of the leukemia that nearly killed her three years ago. Devoted and self-sacrificing Kate knows her daugh-ter is fragile, but at the height of her last frenzied months of training, might she be blind to the most terrible prognosis? Intense, aloof Zoe has always hovered on the periphery of real human companion-ship, and her compulsive need to win at any cost has more than once threatened her friendship with Kate—and her own sanity. Will she allow her obsession, and the advantage she has over a harried, anguished mother, to sever the bond they have shared for more than a decade?— Viewpoint Books

Does the hectic schedule of the kids going back to school have you stressed and tired? Are under-eye dark circles creeping into the landscape of your face? Fear not. Here are some quick tips to fix those bags: Find the right concealer or a thicker corrector and apply it to the inside of the eye where the darkness begins, extending the product un-

der the eye. Gently press the product into the skin with the pad of your middle finger. The right shade of concealer will usually be a shade or two lighter than your skin. A cor-rector is usually pink- or peach-based and is thicker than concealer..— beauty.about.com
