6/444 SHE MAGAZINE // FEBRUARY 2016

I have a ring I wear regularly on my middle finger. It dates back

to the ’60s or ’70s, a time when people were eager to preserve

objects in Lucite or amber or shellac. This ring features an insect

resting on a bed of blue pebbles; a friend identified it as a love

bug, but I haven’t confirmed that. I wear the ring not because it

makes for a prettier picture when I flip someone off (oh, c’mon, I

never would do that) but because it’s a great meditation on per-

manence or, actually, the true lack of permanence in this world.

Think about all of the things you have accomplished in this

world. Picture all of the things you treasure. Call to mind all ofthe people and animals you love. These things, at some point,

cease to exist. “In time the Rockies may crumble, Gibraltar may

tumble/They’re only made of clay,” Nat King

Cole sang. He followed it up with the reas-

suring line, “But our love is here to stay,” but

really, is it? Because we cannot preserve

moments in Lucite, the love feelings of one

moment will not be exactly the same as

the love feelings of the next.

As I was pulling clothes for our

’70s-themed fashion

shoot (p. 10),

I thought

of a couple

of photos

on display in

my parents’

house in Fort

Myers, Florida.

One is a picture of

my folks on their

wedding day. The

photo features my

young and beautiful

mother, Susan, with

a curled auburn bob

and shy smile, and my handsome dad, Fred, with so much hair

it’s unbelievable. At that point, they must have felt mature; they

were a married couple, both with full-time jobs. The other photo

is me, probably about 6 months old, on my dad’s knee. He and I

are dressed in old-time clothing. The photo was taken during my

first overnight trip away from Cincinnati; this would have been

1978, and the photo was taken in Brown County.

Now there is no doubt that my parents are mature: Susan

has a head of gorgeous silver hair; Fred still boasts a full head of

hair, but it’s

not quite as

voluminous.

They have been

married for 42 years,

and in that time,

there have been good times and

bad. There have been moves (from their hometown of Cincin-

nati to the other Columbus to Florida, where they are now),

health problems (cancer, back surgery, cataracts) and, of course,the patches that all couples experience — the times when they

thought about throwing in the towel. The baby sitting on Fred’s

lap is now 38 years old, living some 1,200 miles away, writing

this column, tearing up a little at the thought that, some day, all

of the young and shiny people in this photo will no longer be,

and the photo itself will not even exist after having been torn

apart by a robot or something.

This isn’t meant to be a big bummer of a note, nor is it to tell

you to live with one foot out the door, so to speak. Imperma-

nence has many upsides. If, for example, you’re stuck in a traffic

jam on I-65 or I-74 or any other highway, you will not be stuck

there forever. If you do not like this season’s fashion trends and if

the thought of the ’70s and ’90s clothing makes your skin crawl,

hang in there; something else is just around the bend. If you are

experiencing dark moments, I can reassure you this pain will

stop at some moment in the future.

The other upside is perspective. If I had a never-ending

conveyor belt of cupcakes in my favorite flavor (white cake with

almond icing), I would cease to enjoy the cupcake, or, rather, the

cupcake would mean nothing to me. But when I have that one

gorgeous cupcake on my birthday, and as I eat that cupcake,

I recognize that both the cupcake and I will only exist in this

format for a very brief period of time, so I will savor the cupcake

that much more. When we recognize the impermanence of

the world and the moments it yields, that’s when we can truly

appreciate each moment and every scenario for what it is. When

we look into our loved ones’ eyes and understand that in the

very next moment that person might not be there, don’t we

value that moment all the more?

In this very moment, I wish you the best,

MOMENTARY

Are you feeling as if you need to get

away from it all? We mean, really get

away from it all? Check out the sensory

deprivation tanks at Franklin’s ThetaFloats, thetafloats.com. In the coming

months, we’re hoping to visit the wave

float room, which is a 54-by-96-inch

tank filled with water. The water has

a heavy concentration of Epsom salt

mixed in, so you’ll float to the top. Float

to dimmed lights and low-key music,

or go completely quiet; any option

will yield an introspective and utterly

relaxing experience. The air and water

are kept at skin temperature, making itimperceptible, so it’s almost like you’re

floating on air, free from gravity.

Have you ever looked

at something, noted its

gorgeous color and wishedyou could have that exact color

in a lipstick or nail polish? Shade Scout is going to be your new

BFF. This free app allows the user to take a photo and then

matches the color of the photo subject to assorted lipstick and

nail polish hues. Like the results? You can add them to a Shade

Scout shopping cart, which leads you directly to the cosmetic

brand’s website. For example: We loved the beautiful coat of

an orange kitty. After a quick photo, Shade Scout led us to

NARS’ Audacious Lipstick in “Geraldine,” a striking orange/red

shade. Click on the heart icon to save, click on the shopping

Landscape Trick

Select an early-blooming tree or shrub — forsythia, magnolia, quince —and cut a few stems to take indoors and bring into bloom, says Kris Medic,

agriculture, natural resources and community development educator/

board-certified master arborist. It’s a trick your grandma might have used

to get some late-winter brightness; to accomplish it, select one or more

branches with fat flower buds and place in a vase with water.

SELECTIONS BY MARY CLARE SPECKNER, ADULT PROGRAMMING DIRECTOR AT THE

BARTHOLOMEW COUNTY PUBLIC LIBRARY.

Raise your hand if you remember the names H. Rap Brown, Gloria Steinem, Adam Clayton Powell and Shirley

Chisholm. OK, that’s a lot of you. Raise your hand if you remember Flo Kennedy; I thought not. All of those people

had recognizable voices in the activist movements of the ’60s and ’70s; Flo Kennedy is just a little more obscure

these days.

It is rather difficult to understand why she did not become a household name a la Steinem or Chisholm.

Kennedy was a flamboyant figure known for her cowboy hat, pink sunglasses and a certain finger held in the air.

She grew up in Kansas City, Missouri. Her father owned a taxi business after many years as a Pullman porter

and waiter. The family had a brief encounter with the Ku Klux Klan, but her parents largely shielded their children

from such matters. “Our parents had us so convinced we were precious that by the time I found out I was

nothing, it was already too late,” Kennedy wrote in her autobiography.While still living at home, she became involved with racial segregation protests sponsored by the NAACP.

In that setting, she learned how to organize meetings. At the same time the Congress of Racial Equality began

to hold sit-ins to protest racial discrimination. When Kennedy and her sister, Grayce, attempted to stage their

own sit-in protest at a café that did not serve “coloreds,” things went awry, and Kennedy got a spinal injury that

affected her the rest of her life.

In 1951, she became the second African-American woman to graduate from Columbia University’s law

school, and she opened her own practice in 1954. She represented black libertarians and civil right activists, was

involved in the 1968 Miss America protest, and always practiced intersectionality, a concept often used in critical

theories to describe the ways in which oppressive institutions (racism, sexism, homophobia, transphobia, ableism,

xenophobia, classism, etc.) are interconnected and cannot be examined separately from one another.

Kennedy hit the lecture circuit with Steinem, founded the Feminist Party that nominated Shirley Chisholm for president, supported abortion rights and

established the Media Workshop. In 1974, no less a source than People magazine wrote that Kennedy was “the biggest, loudest and, indisputably, the rudest

mouth on the battleground.” She was a force to be reckoned with, and this biography of Kennedy paints her as she was and highlights what she loved doing.

In celebration of all things related to the Indiana bicentennial, mention of this biography of Madam C.J. Walker

seems appropriate. Written by her great-great-granddaughter, A’Lelia Bundles, and published in 2001, this is the

first definitive biography of Walker, the seminal female philanthropist and entrepreneur .

Many Hoosiers only know of her hair care products and her time in Indianapolis, but Walker developed her line

of products prior to her move to Indianapolis. Born Sarah Breedlove in 1867, she was the daughter of slaves. She

married for the first time in 1881 and had her only child, a daughter, in 1885. After her husband died, Breedlove

moved to St. Louis. While working and attending night school, she noticed that she and other black women were

losing their hair. After many experimentations, she developed her own product to stimulate hair growth and sold

her line door-to-door. She then moved to Denver, married Charles J. Walker, changed her name and reinvented

herself as Madam C.J. Walker. Her product line blossomed.

In 1910 Walker visited Indianapolis. Impressed with the city’s location, she moved her other operations in the

country to Indy. She remained in Indiana until 1915, when she moved to Harlem to be near her daughter.

Walker was a firm believer in helping others. At a 1914 National Negro Business League Convention she said, “I

am not merely satisfied in making money for myself, for I am endeavoring to provide employment for hundreds

of the women of my race.”

Though she does not sugarcoat her great-great-grandmother’s life, Bundles’ biography paints a portrait of a

big-hearted woman who knew what she wanted and used her talents for her family and for her community.

Warm up with clothes inspiredby the grooviest decade



Alot of you cringe when

you think of ’70s fashion,

and while we suppose

that’s fair, we need to

give credit where credit is due: A fair

amount of good did come out of the

’70s. Though it’s hard to wrap one

big decade into one tiny article, let’s

think of the positive highlights: figure-

balancing flare-leg pants, Annie Hall’s

menswear-inspired wardrobe, and

whole lot of crocheted accent pieces.

Fashion, being the cyclical beast itis, is revisiting the Me Decade, and we

think that’s kind of far out. Here are

a few reasons to celebrate ’70s style

while you warm up your winter.

FoundationThe

of a

Perfect FaceBY JENNY ELIG

You know the feeling: You’re standing in a

drugstore, scanning rows of bottles of foundation.

Some are labeled with a funny code: W3, C4, N5.

Others have cryptic names: nude beauty, perfect

buff, beige brilliance. You start to break out into

a sweat. Suddenly, this seemingly simple task of

finding a new foundation makeup just became

insurmountable.

But really, it doesn’t have to be that difficult.

After all, you’re picking makeup, not planning

a military operation. That said, you should have

a strategy when you’re heading off to buy your

foundation from a drugstore. Here’s some advice

from local experts:

• Keep it simple, says licensed cosmetologist

and freelance makeup artist Leslie White

(lesliehairandmakeup.com), who offers

classes in Columbus. “Often, people go a

little too thick or too heavy,” she says. “If

you have good skin, go for a BB cream or

tinted moisturizer.”

• Know your skin type. “The biggest struggle

is probably finding the right foundation for

your skin type,” says Lauren McNeely, a local

makeup artist and Indiana University student

(McNeely also served as the model for this

month’s fashion shoot; laumcneelybeauty.

com). “If (a foundation) works for one

person, that doesn’t mean it will work for

you.” Keep this in mind when looking at

foundation textures: If you have dry skin, a

Leslie White, makeup artist

Lauren McNeely, makeup artist



matte makeup might further that problem;

dewy-look foundations might make those

with oily skin look like grease balls. “Find

out what type of skin you have and find

out what formula you should use for your

skin,” McNeely says.

• Throwing shade. Determine the level or

shade of your skin. This is how light or deep

your skin tone is, says local makeup artist

Whittney Sharp (Instagram: WhittneySharp).

“How does your skin react to the sun?”

If you burn easily, you have light skin. If your

skin has mixed reactions, you have light to

medium skin. If your skin tans easily, you’re

likely a medium to deep natural brown, and

if you don’t even sweat the sun at all, you

have deep to dark skin.

• Toning up. Finding your

undertone is where a lot of people

get lost, Sharp says, but finding

your undertone, or the warm/

cool/neutral aspect of the

makeup, is essential. “Undertone

is the color beneath your

skin,” she says.

Cool skin has a red-blue or

pink undertone, warm is olive

yellow to peach and neutral is a

combination of cool and warm

together. Cool-skinned people

tend to burn more easily in the

sun, while warm and neutral

folks tan better. Look at the veins

in your wrists and arms. If the veins

look blue or purple, you are cool-

toned. Bluish green signifies a neutral

tone, and if your veins look green, you

have warm-toned skin. Also, think about

the jewelry you favor. If you wear mostly

silver, you have a cool tone. If gold flatters

your skin tone, you have warm-toned skin.

And though shade or level may vary with the

season, undertones will always remain the

same, Sharp says.



>> health & beauty

• The test: OK, so you get to try the makeup

on. Now where do you put it? “The biggest

mistake people make is they match it on

their hands,” McNeely says. “Your hands are

usually very different from your face.” But,

she says, you don’t even want to match

your foundation to your face skin. “It’s

under makeup a lot of time, so it doesn’t

get tanned.” Instead, match your makeup

to your neck, not your face, your hands or

your arm. Then pick one shade lighter and

one shade darker. Apply it to your neck and

let it sit for one minute. Don’t blend it in.

Eyeball the three swatches and see what

your best match is.

• Phone a friend. Makeup can be subjective,

and sometimes our eyes fail us, even

when we’re looking at our own veins.

“When in doubt, just ask a girlfriend,”

White says. “Normally, they’re the most

opinionated ones.”

Travel a little. All three of our makeup artists

recommended a trip to Sephora, noting

that drugstore foundations are great, but

the drugstore experience doesn’t come with

quite the same TLC as a trip to a makeup

counter. “At Sephora, they have a device

to match your skin,” Sharp says. And after

you have your match, the store’s computer

system will pull up every foundation in the

store that will work for you.

• Apply yourself. If you have textured

skin, choose a primer to help balance out

large pores or other imperfections, giving

you a smoother finish, White says. “What

I normally like to do is feather,” she says.

“When you blend it out, lightly lift out the

sponge as you’re going down you neck. It

transitions more softly.”

• Don’t freak. “Have fun with it,” Sharp says.

“Don’t get intimidated. If you make a mistake,

you can always fix it with bronzer if it’s a little

too light, or you can use light powder on

it if it’s a little too dark. If I get a foundation

that may be too dark, highlight your face

with contouring techniques. That will bring

the lightness back to your face so your

foundation doesn’t look too dark on you.”

• Exchange it. Get familiar with your store’s

return policies before you buy. Sephora,

for example, will take makeup back or

exchange it for you.

DSI uncorks eighth annual beer and wine festival

D VineS mply

Story by Jenny Elig



On Feb. 20, wine and beer lovers will have a chance to

quaff some of their favorite brews and vintages, all while

helping a good cause. It’s time yet again for the DSI D-Vine

Winter Wine and Beer Fest. The eighth annual beer and

wine sampling event benefits Developmental ServicesInc. The event, organizers say, has only grown since its

inception in 2009.

“This year we’ve added some new vendors that I think

our tasters will love,” says Amy Kleinert, DSI development

administrator. “We’re excited about our live music selection

this year as well. The Circle Center Train Wreck will give us

some up-tempo favorites we can dance to.”

Along with an opportunity to sample some of the

libations from wineries and micro-breweries across the

state, there will be chances to win door prizes and a 50/50

cash raffle. Attendees will get a commemorative wine or

beer tasting glass.

Last year’s event, which was the most successful to date,

drew 850 attendees and raised $20,000 for individuals with

disabilities, says Kleinert. DSI provides services to children

and adults with disabilities in Brown, Bartholomew,

Decatur, Jackson, Jennings, Jefferson, Shelby, Johnson,

Monroe, Rush and Ripley counties and the Wabash Valley

area and most of central and southern Indiana. DSI offers

job training and placement, community living, respite care,

community integration, day programs, and recreationaland health services.

If you’re just there to try some new tastes and old

favorites, that’s fine too.

“A lot of people like the idea of spending a cold winter

day indoors tasting their favorite wines and beers and

listening to some great live music.”

First Fridays

for Families

You have been stuck inside with your little

monsters, er, kids, for the better part of a month,

and all of you are starting to go slightly insane.

Sure, you could make another trek to the movies

or Chuck E. Cheese, but why not head out for

some family fun that’s tailor-made for kids? May

we make a suggestion? Head to The Commons

for the Columbus Area Arts Council series First

Fridays for Families.

You might have gathered from the name that

this series takes place on the first Friday of each

month. But did you know it presents various

performing arts genres (music, drama and dance)

in a way that’s palatable for kindergartners

through third graders and also not too painful for

accompanying adults?

“First Fridays for Families is a series of family

programming that brings the arts to life for children

and the young-at-heart through theater, music,

dance, puppetry and other art forms,” says Tami

Sharpe, arts council program director. “These events

are designed to provide families with a shared

experience through arts and entertainment.”

« The Voice, Hillary AppleRuby and Joe, facebook.com/RubyandJoe

Hillary Apple is an introvert. By day, sheworks for Cummins. Off-hours, she’s one-half

of the folk duo Ruby and Joe. Apple mether bandmate, Alex Cook, when she lived inIndianapolis. A lifelong singer, she wantedto put her pipes to good use. Since, they’veperformed in Columbus and Indianapolis.Apple can recall being the only femalemusician at open-mic nights in Indy.

“It would be the one guy and his guitaror two guys,” she said. “I’d be the only girl. Ithink a lot of times we’d win the open micbecause people would be refreshed to see agirl on stage.”

Q: What do you get from singing, on anemotional level?“It’s kind of a creative release. It always

makes me feel better. It got difficult

scheduling rehearsals when I moved backto Columbus, (but) when we’d actually start

playing music, it always made me feel betterIt makes me use a different part of my brainthat I don’t use throughout the rest of theday, and I’m using what I feel is probably mybiggest talent.”

Q: Where would you like to gowith your music?

I think it will always be a part of my life.My dream job would be to be a backupsinger. I love to harmonize, and I’m anintrovert, and I don’t love the spotlight. I getnervous every time I sing, and it doesn’t com

naturally to me to perform, but I love to sing.I kind of have to force myself to sing. WhenI get up there, I’m into it. My nervousnessnever kept me from doing it.”

The Veteran, Barbara McGuireThe McGuires, facebook.com/themcguiresmusic

Barbara McGuire sings lead vocals andplays acoustic rhythm guitar in the rock duoThe McGuires. She started guitar lessonswhen she was 10 years old. Her mom, shesays, is the one who appreciated the value ofmusic. “I used to lock myself in my room andplay along with the radio,” she says. “Music ismy lifelong passion.” McGuire, who moved tothe Columbus area from Nashville, Tennessee,now gigs alongside her husband, MaxMcGuire, in paid and charity performancesaround the state.

Q: What does playing music give you?“I think it’s helped to keep me youthful. A

lot of people at my age would have given itup by now. We are blessed to get to be doingthis for a living, and we play 200-plus dates ayear, everything from public venues (to the)state fair. We were selected by the UnitedWay of Bartholomew County to record asong that they’re using for their fundraisingcampaign. We’re not staying comfortablewith what we’re doing. One of my passions

is to always expand our audience. We treat itlike a business.”

Q: What do you want to give back?“I want to help inspire women who are in

midlife. A lot of them hang it up. They think,well, I’ve raised my kids. I’ve retired. I’m done.You don’t have to be done. You can go backto school. You can pick up an instrument. Iwant women to see me on stage.”

Q: What advice would you have forsomeone who’s young and wanting to bea professional musician?

“Know that above all else, while you’vegot your nose to the grindstone, don’t forgetto have fun. That’s going to be your reward.You’re not going to get rich. You’d better havefun, because life’s too short. That’s all that Iwant to look back on, this path that I’ve beenon. There have been a lot of hard knocks, a lotof bumps, but I never stopped having fun.”

«The Pipes, Connie MarbachColumbus City Band, columbuscityband.org

Bass clarinet is an expensive instrument. Connie Marbach firstpicked up the large woodwind, which rounds out the ColumbusCity Band’s low end, when she was in seventh grade. Then she wentmore than 20 years without playing it. In the 1980s, she saw an adthat the Columbus City Band, which has been in existence since 1843,

was going year-round (previously it had been a summer band). Shedecided to try it out.

Q: What does playing with a band give to you?“The opportunity to play the music and hear what we sound like is

what’s really great to me. I had an injury a few years ago, and I couldn’tplay. I really missed it, making the music and hearing what we do.”

Q: What’s the music like? You’re not a rock band and not anorchestra, so what’s the focus?

“Nothing is off limits. We don’t play symphonies because we don’thave violins and cellos. It’s not all band music; we’ll have show musicsuch as Gershwin. It’s almost always a challenge for me.”

Q: Does band membership skew more male?“I’d say it’s pretty equal or maybe a few more women. We have a

flute section of about six, and those are all female. We don’t have anyfemale trombone players. It’s a wide range of ages.”

Q: What would your advice be to a younger woman whomight want to play in a brass and woodwinds band?

“Come try us out. We don’t have an audition; our director alwayssays, just come visit with us. I can’t say enough about what it means tome. If you liked music and you played it at one time, give it a try.”

« The Inspiration, Nancy PughGold Dust Band, facebook.com/Gold-Dust-Band-136941083027684

Nancy Pugh picked up a bass in the mid-’90s. “It’s never too lateto start learning something new,” she says. She played for the LittleNashville Opry and made music with her husband, but nothingpermanent came along until three years ago, when she met thewomen of the Gold Dust Band, a five-piece, all-female band that playsclassic country and rock ’n’ roll. The band meets once a week and playsgigs around the state.

Q: What does playing music give you?“One, a feeling of, I can do this, of accomplishment. I feel like I’m not

stuck in the same routine of life. I always thought I’d love to sing, andnow I’m singing. I feel good about it.”

Q: What advice would you give to someone who would like totry doing what you do?

“Age is just a number. It’s never too late for anybody. If you justwant to sit at home and play, do it. Sometimes there’s groups that just get together and jam. I feel fortunate that I can do this now. Andpeople really like us.”

The Trio, Autumn’s Dawn, Kat Momanfacebook.com/AutumnsDawnMusic

The members of the all-female, bluegrass-cum-classical music trioAutumn’s Dawn studied at the same music studio. After Kat Moman,who grew up in Columbus, moved back to the area from California,she joined with her pals, Elizabeth Johnson and Hannah Porter, tomake music, with Moman on guitar and sometimes propping up thelow end on upright bass. Since then, they’ve played public and privateevents, including a lot of weddings. Some of the most fun the trio hashad is showing off their bluegrass chops.

“Bluegrass is a very male-dominated field,” Moman says. “It’s fun tobe able to play with the boys and say, ‘Hey, we can do this, too.’”

Q: What has playing music given you?“It’s just been such a joy. You can share something that not

everyone has. It’s our way also of sharing the gift God has given us.”

Q: How has being a woman helped you with regard to music?“I feel like we can reach certain groups that others can’t. We’ll play

women’s events, Valentine’s Day. On those circumstances, we can reach

that special audience. We’re showing young women and young girlsthat music is something they can get involved with; we’re showinggirls they can do what they want to do with their lives and go for it.”

Q: What’s something that’s important to the successof a musician?

“I would say that practice is super important. Although it’s notalways fun, it’ll get you a lot further. Also, it’s important to surround

yourself with people who encourage you. I would just remind peopleto continue to invest in the arts — whether that’s in the school systemor putting your children in private education — the importance ofthat in people’s lives. It does help them succeed. It’s brought so much joy and happiness in my life, I’d like to see others get that, too. I’m sothankful to have grown up in a community that supports the arts.”

Terrorz of Tiny Towns’ Power Alley

AlisonWold

Questions For …

INTERVIEW BY JENNY ELIG

Columbus’ own roller derby team, the Terrorz

of Tiny Towns, has the first home bout of

its sixth season on March 19 at Columbus

Skateland. The team, which averages about 10bouts a year in the region, has members that

include stay-at-home moms, accountants and

Cummins employees.

By day, Alison Wold is a librarian and test

coordinator at Hope Elementary School. In

the roller derby world, she’s Power Alley, a

positional blocker with the Terrorz of Tiny

Towns. As a blocker, Power Alley works to slow

down the opposition and keep the other team’s

jammer from reaching the head of the pack and

scoring points.

“You slow them down, and you make it difficult

for them to get around you,” she says. Power

Alley also gets in some good hits. “Sometimes

you get in a hit by shoulder check or hip

checking them,” she says. Power Alley shares

with us what she loves about roller derby and

being a part of the local team.

Q: What got you

into roller derby?

A: I had a friend who saw the flier

and showed up for an informational

meeting. Maybe a month later or soshe was like you really should check

it out. I just stuck with it after that. I’d

never been into sports, but it felt like a

way to be athletic.

Q: How can

roller derby help

someone’s confidence?

A: I think being a part of a team of

mostly women cheering you on andpushing you to be your best and

stronger is certainly confidence-

building. I think women are

stereotypically not encouraged to

be aggressive or competitive; (roller

derby) gives a positive outlet for those

qualities to really shine. Since I’ve

started, I’ve made some of my best

friends from this group of women.

They’re women I’m inspired by.

Q: Have you had

any injuries?

I’ve had two injuries. I

fractured my fibula in both my legs at

two separate times. At least there was

no surgery; there was just a boot — six

weeks in the boot of recovery and then

regaining strength.

Q: One of your jobs on

the team is to pick your

opponents and book

bouts. How do you pick

your opponents?

A: We are not officially a WFTDA

(Women’s Flat Track Derby Association)

team, but we skate by the rules

provided by them. If your team goes

through the WFTDA apprentice

program (which we’re actually looking

into doing), then you have to set a

20-skater charter for the year, and only

those 20 sanctioned skaters get toskate; that’s considered the A-team.

Since we’re not WFTDA, we don’t have

to pay as much attention as to who

skates when. We just kind of compare.

We don’t want to get creamed either

way. We don’t want to play a game

Q: Why is something

like roller derby a good

fit for Columbus?

A: I think Columbus has a lot of focus

on sports and athletics and healthy

living in general. Roller derby definitelyfits right in with that. We’ve worked

hard to be a part of the community. We

had a bout last summer that benefited

the Cheer Fund. We ran a kids camp

also last summer. Anybody can be

involved with our team, whether you

want to be a skater or not, whether

you’re female or not. We have different

levels of people being involved that

are volunteer positions. And also check

us out as a fan. Make a point to come

and watch us skate when we haveopponents at Skateland.

where it’s not a challenge for us,

but we don’t want to play a game

where we’ll get trampled. We try

to find opponents that will make

for an even bout for both teams.

We usually stay against teams

in Indiana, maybe Louisville andCincinnati area. The farthest bout

was the Hammond area.

Kale seems to be suffering from an overexposure

backlash; a few months ago, several food writers

pronounced the kale trend “done.” But if you weren’t

eating it because it was trendy, then who cares?

My favorite ways to eat kale is chopped up in soup.

A few years ago I got a great, simple (and vegan) kale,

potato and chickpea soup recipe through my CSA that

has become a winter staple in my house. Saute onion,

garlic and diced carrots in a stockpot, add two cans of

chickpeas with their liquid, add in chopped kale, and a

third can of chickpeas pureed in a blender. You can spice

it up with cayenne if you like.

Even if you’re through with kale, there are so many

other great ways to enjoy greens, and there are usually

lots available.

Chef Bob Perry, who teaches at the University of

Kentucky, said his favorite green is “what I’m cooking

that day. I really like kale, I really like spinach.” For cooks,

“kale is really forgiving,” he said. “It’s hard to mess it up.”

Whether you’re working with lacinato “dinosaur” kale,

red Russian kale or curly green kale, “the simplest way

possible to cook it is to clean it, tear it or shred it, and sauté

it really hot in more olive oil than you think,” Perry said.

“Once it wilts down you can hit it with a little stock and

cover and steam and it, then douse with a little vinegar, salt

and pepper. If it’s tender, you don’t have to braise it even.”Another green vegetable that’s easy to adjust for

a variety of palates is Brussels sprouts: halve them

and roast in the oven to caramelize and bring out the

sweetness, or blanch in salty water and saute, Perry

said. Or butter blanch them: split, blanch, then saute in

water and butter in a covered skillet. The steam finishes

the cooking, then you can take off the lid and let it

evaporate to intensify the butter flavor, Perry said.

“You can get by with a lot less butter and get the

flavor without a lot of fat,” he said.

A new University of North Carolina Press Savor the

South cookbook by Thomas Head, called “Greens,” is

coming out in March with lots of recipes for collard

greens, which have a tougher texture and stronger

flavor than kale.

Collards are often cooked with pork, boiled in liquid

for a long time and then seasoned with pepper vinegar

at the table, Head said. But there are lots of other

ways to use them. His recipes include collard green

empanadas, Lebanese collard and lentil soup, and even

vegetarian slow-cooker collard greens seasoned with

smoked paprika, stock and red pepper flakes.Greens are so versatile that you can do almost

anything with them. Head suggested a mustard green

pesto in his book. Mustard greens tend to have a sharp

flavor, while turnip greens are milder but still peppery.

This spring, be sure to try beet greens. “Buy whole

beets and cut off the greens,” said Perry. “They cook

down like spinach. They hold a sweet flavor. You could

do them in a stir fry or even put them in a soup.”

inter’s chill brings on acraving for food that is filling.

Nutritious greens fill thatniche nicely. You can getyour vegetable fix from hardy wintervarieties like collards, mustard greens,spinach, Brussels sprouts and, yes, kale.



INSTRUCTIONS:

Cut out the thick, tough center stems of the greens and

discard; cut the leaves into roughly 2-inch-square pieces.Wash the greens thoroughly in at least two changes of

cold water. Drain in a colander.

Unless you are using the optional ingredients,

combine the greens and meat in a large pot and add

enough water or chicken stock to cover them. Bring

to a boil and simmer until the greens are tender

(anywhere from ½ hour for young greens to 1 hour for

older collards).

If using the onion and garlic, in a pan large enough to

hold the greens and water, sauté the bacon over medium

heat until the fat is rendered but the bacon is not yet

crisp. Add the onions and continue cooking until they are

translucent but not brown. Mash the garlic into the pan

and cook for about 30 seconds, being sure not to let the

garlic brown. Add the greens, the red pepper flakes, and

enough water to cover the vegetables. Bring the liquid

to a boil, reduce the heat, and simmer until the greens

are tender. Just before serving, stir in the vinegar and

season with salt.

GERM WARFAREWintertime in a house with kids means battling microbes

BY KELSEY DECLUE

I absolutely dread

winter, but not or the

reasons one might

think. It’s not about

the higher gas bills.

Although irritating, it has little to do with the multiplerestrictive layers I have to place on mysel and my kids in

order to go outside. My negative disposition comes rom

more than the dark mornings and early sunsets. It’s not

even really about the plunging temps.

Winter means illness. Runny noses. Coughs. Fevers.

Missed school and missed work. As the weeks o holiday

vacation came to a close last year, I could hear them

preparing or the invasion. Tey were packing their little

mucus-filled bags, making their flight reservations on

little hands or deluxe accommodations on doorknobs,

school supplies and bathroom stall handles. Te

germs were coming.No matter how much I channeled my inner Paul

Revere, my plight was utile. Tis was a losing battle

beore it began. Everyone who has children, indeed,

everyone who has ever been around a child or doesn’t

live under a rock, knows these un-aged human beings

are excellent harbingers o disease. Children certainly

aren’t immune to germs. However, they seem immune

to recognizing the process o how germs are spread

and contracted.

As inants, they put anything and everything they

see in their mouths. And let’s talk about toddlers, the No.

1 offenders. Tey touch toilets seats without blinking

an eye. Tey wipe their bodily fluids on whatever or

whomever is closest, as long as it’s not a tissue. Tey pick

up random pieces o trash because the item is just what

they need or their “treasure collection.” It’s absurd.

I think I’ve mentioned that I am the proud and

blessed mother o two toddlers. I’m sure you can see

where this is going. I knew I was due or a first-class ride

to Sickville when my 4-year-old sneezed directly in my

ace one day when I was zipping his coat up.

Nolan had been an increasingly snotty mess or a

couple o days, so I knew the risk was high. I was using

hand sanitizer in bulk and gorging mysel on vitamin

C. But there is no deense strong enough or a direct hit.

Te scene was like one o those slow-motion replays you

see on shows about stunts gone wrong. His head rearedback right when both o my hands were occupied with

the jacket zipper, and like a series o strategic missiles the

droplets cascaded upon my ace, with the most stealth o

them all landing directly in my open eye.

No matter how vigorously I wiped my ace, my ate

was sealed. “I’m hit! I’m hit!” I exclaimed. “Oh, Nolan,

you’ve got to cover your mouth! You know that!”

“Sorry, Momma,” he says, sheepishly, taken aback

by my strong reaction. He then covers his ace with

his elbow. Oh, thanks bud. A heap o good that’ll do.

He seals the deal by wiping his nose (afer all, he’d

just cleared a wad o snot rom in there) and placingthe contents on my shoulder. Tat cruel kick, when

you’re already down.

Te next morning I awoke with my lef eye swollen

shut with yellowish goop. Tat evening my throat

throbbed with an irritating itch, that signature sign

that there are some oreign visitors picking a fight with

your immune system.

It started the weekend afer school and day care

resumed rom holiday break. Te germs permeated

our household and partied in all o our bodies over

the course o at least three weeks. We went down

consecutively, and there was nothing any o us

could do about it.



Winter with young children makes you feel as if you have

X-ray vision. Suddenly everywhere you look, you see seething,

cackling germs wriggling around. You start twitching and

shouting, “Don’t touch that!” “Don’t put that in your mouth!”“Don’t breathe!” until your kids look at you sideways, as if you’ve

lost your mind. You realize just how devastating bio warfare

would be on the human race, and you draw plans for your

underground bunker as you lie awake coughing at night.

But through it all, each year I try to keep this in mind …

eventually the sniffles end and coughs dissipate and everyone

returns to a healthy state, God willing. And I am again able to see

all the fun experiences winter has to offer. Ahh, winter with kids.

It’s about snow days and reading books by firelight. It’s about

hot chocolate and one-piece footie pajamas. It’s about cough

medicine and humidifiers and eucalyptus rub… wait.

A groovy floral phone case

Te 1970s were quite the crafy decade. Tese were the years o macramé, crochet, latch hook,

decoupage, crewel embroidery and string art. No material was overlooked; the Me Decade

had people weaving tapestries o pantyhose and gluing googly eyes on rocks. Te results were

mixed; it’s sae to say that the ’70s were the best o crafs (all those awesome owl wall-hangings

have to count or something) and the worst o crafs (c’mon, pantyhose dolls?).

One material that was utilized heavily in the 1970s, but still holds up today, is elt. It’s

durable, colorul and easy to work with. Crafers o the’70s seemed to adore elt. Look in

any disco-era craf book and there are elt wall hangings embellished with elt mushrooms

and stylized flowers. Christmas tree skirts, women’s skirts,

issues that were skirted, all were accented in elt. I the’70s had

a texture, it was elted.

Like any versatile material, elt looks great in contemporary

projects, such as this elt-embellished cellphone case. I like the

idea o juxtaposing the aesthetic o one decade onto the tools o

another. As elt was the eel o the 1970s, then the cellphone is

the tool o the new millennium.

It might be difficult or this cellphone-raised, Internet-bred

generation to imagine, but back in the 1970s, cellphones didn’t

exist or the general populace; and whatever did exist was a ar

cry rom the compact systems we have now. Households had

land lines. Some households had only one phone or the whole

amily to use. You certainly couldn’t fit that in your back pocket, and that phone didn’t take

pictures or play music. It was the most basic phone you could imagine. Te phones o Ma

Bell (the telephone system that existed as a monopoly until 1984) were so basic, some olks

resorted to communicating through CB radios. But that is another story or another day.

I time travel were possible and we transported someone rom the 1970s to present day,

once they got over the initial shock, they’d think cellphones were just groovy. Remember,

people listened to music on vinyl records and eight-track tapes. Tey had basic phones,

and pictures were taken on cameras that used film, and unless you had a Polaroid camera,

you had to take that film to a store to be developed. o the average person rom the ’70s, a

cellphone would be nothing short o magical.

So let’s honor and protect our contemporary technology with a cellphone case that’s a

throwback to 1970s crafing.

What you need:

STEP 1:Decide on a base color; you’ll use this to

cover your cellphone case. Measure your

cellphone and, using your scissors, cut the

felt accordingly. Don’t forget to cut out

space for the camera lens (unless all you do

is take selfies using the front-facing camera,

in which case, I recommend you re-examine

how you view the world). Glue this base

color of felt to the phone case.

STEP 2:Cut out your design. I did a Google image

search for 1970s flowers for inspiration.

Illustrated flowers were often stylized

and simple. Note well: Since you use

your cellphone often, I recommend

fewer embellishments rather than more,

simply because glued-on pieces will fall

off over time.

STEP 3:Let it all dry. Give it at least the timerecommended on the glue package. In the

meantime, stare at a lava lamp. Go to a disco.

Watch “Saturday Night Fever.”

STEP 4:Put the case on your phone. Think about all

of the people who came before you who

never even imagined cellphones would

exist. Text your grandma (if she texts) and tell

her how far out you think the ’70s were.
