There’s a soft cartoon character taking on hard issues.
His name is Kid America, and he is the creation of
Madison author Jason Holder.The Adventures of Kid America: The
Great Puppy Rescue is the first tale of Kid America.
In the first book, Kid America and his team face off against his nemesis Casper who is mistreating puppies.
“There’s a puppy mill that they discover, and through some controversy and through this little adventure, they go and rescue the puppies, and then they find them a home,” Holder said.
Animal rights is one of the issues Holder wants to bring to light to kids. “I want kids to be aware of how to treat animals,” he said.
The lead puppy in the book is named Max, who is based on a dog Holder rescued named Logan.
In addition to Max, Kid America’s team of friends includes Kid America’s best friend TJ, a brilliant musician named Lexi, Kid America’s younger sister Kat, and a secret agent who goes by the name Agent Adams.

Holder said puppy mills are a problem in our community, but there are ways to solve the issue. “Each person can do a small part by making sure if they adopt an animal, they don’t adopt from these puppy mills, and that they go through reputable services like The Ark,” he said.
The Ark is a no-kill animal shelter in Huntsville. Last month Holder signed books at Southerland Station and donated a portion of the proceeds to The Ark.
Holder grew up near Atlanta and graduated from the Georgia Institute of Technology in 2001.
While at Georgia Tech, he began writing and illustrating children’s books for his nephews while he attended college. His first book used fruits and vegetables with names and faces to teach about nutrition.
After college he moved to the Madison area to work for a local defense contractor.

He is a systems engineer and currently works at Northrop Grumman.
Holder met his wife Celeste, who is a 1996 graduate of Bob Jones High School, after he moved to the area. She is a system analyst at Booz Allen Hamilton. They have been married for eight years and have two sons, Tyler, 5, and Andrew, 3.
Kid America’s illustrator is Mike Sofka, who lives near Nashville. “He really is a great illustrator,” Holder said “He took these words and made them into beautiful pictures that the kids could really get into and follow.”
Mike Sofka has robust illustration experience, including working with Veggie Tales.
The next Kid America book, The Great Go-Kart Race, is projected to be available just before spring.
The Adventures of Kid America: The Great Puppy Rescue is available as a paperback book and an e-book. For more information or to purchase the book online, visit kid-america.com. The book is also available at Pablo’s on the Market bookstore at 216 West Market Street in Athens.
Jason Holder aims to teach the
importance of animal welfare to
today’s youth.

Then remaining sections were worked into an edgy Mohawk
up style. To give the hair hold and flexibility,
Mirage used Super Clean Extra Finishing Spray and The Shine
to add crisp hold and polish to this up style.

ABOVE: This Mohawk and afro combination on Morgan Chamberlain creates a super trendy, curly masterpiece. Misty Boyette started the foundation of this style starts with Heat Seal to provide thermal protection and to help build body, along with Thicken Up to fatten up fine hair strands.

Jake Chaney began this bridal up style on Jordan Houston by creating a low side ponytail. He used Worked Up to ensure hold and Hot Off The Press for thermal protection with the Express Ion Curl to create beautiful bouncy curls. Tea Tree Grooming Pomade was applied to the curls for definition and to remove frizz or flyways. Each curl was perfectly placed to create the silhouette of this bridal up style. The remaining curls around the face were twisted and pinned back to add interest along the sides and in the fringe area. Jordan’s look was finished with Freeze and Shine Super Spray for humidity-resistant hold and The Shine to give an amazing gloss.

Vaughns’ porch gives bird’s-eye view of downtown
Historyin themaking
HOME
20 Madison Living
Hospitality, gaming and a subdued ghost are part of family life for Dennis and Joyce Vaughn at 25 Front
Street in Madison’s historic district.Their turn-of the-century Victorian
home has a steeply pitched roof with irregular contour. Three bay windows and a curved front porch with Tuscan columns cover the main and side entrances, featuring leaded glass transoms.
Wooden gray-and-red clapboard covers the exterior. Approximately 4,200 square
feet, the main house has 11 rooms, plus three baths, two foyers and two large walk-in closets.
The Vaughns scrapped a rear porch to expand a den, which happens to be their favorite spot, with a flat-screen television, computer cabinet, pool table, and a slot machine and jukebox from the 1950s.
In 1990, they added a three-car garage, covered poolside porch, bathroom, woodworking shop, and upstairs game room with pingpong, foosball, air hockey, pool tables and punching bag.
The front lawn’s Gothic Revival iron fence with arched-top gateposts, diamond
points and fleur-de-lis accents was made by Stewart Iron Works Company of Cincinnati, Ohio. The historical district has two other Stewart fences.
The rear two-room house, shed and detached garage date to the 1860s and served as maid’s quarters into the 1950s. Square, hand-cut nails were used in construction.
Frank G. Hertzler built the house circa 1905. “Hertzler and brother-in law Harvey Anderson at 17 Front Street were co-owners of a hardware store on Main Street,” Dennis said. Other owners were the Collier family, circa 1920; Frank and Anne May Finney,

1930s; Jack Robbins, 1973; and Terry and Karen Kurtz, 1978. In the 1970s, the Vaughns’ search for an older home, particularly
in Twickenham, was interrupted by moving to Boston for Dennis to pursue a Sloan Fellows scholarship at MIT graduate school. Returning to Alabama, their children graduated from Grissom High School. Their house-hunting revived.
In 1983, Dennis’ oversea flight was delayed, so Joyce visited a downtown dress shop. She saw a “For Sale” sign at 25 Front Street. Leaving the airport, they drove by, scheduled a viewing appointment two days later and bought it the next week.
“Not many opportunities (exist) to buy a quaint, old historical home with two acres in the middle of a people-friendly, downtown area,” Dennis said.
Structurally sound, the yard and outbuildings needed facelifts. The first year, Dennis personally applied more than 50 gallons of

paint. When friends asked when their ‘fixing up’ would end, the Vaughns replied, “When you have an old house, you never finish.”
Pineapples, colonial symbol of hospitality, dominate Joyce’s decor. “The grandchildren count them by the hundreds,” Joyce said.
Their antiques include a dining table and chairs bought by Joyce’s parents when they married, a schoolhouse clock and dresser from Dennis’ grandparents. Purportedly, Daniel Boone, branched in Dennis’ family tree, made their cane-bottom chair.
A friendly ghost is now silent. After moving, they frequently heard the telephone ding around 10 p.m. The lights intermittently dimmed, which was “somewhat frightening to our college-age daughter,” Joyce said.
Then city clerk Betty Benson, reared on Church Street, visited and said she often had tea with Mrs. Anne May Finney at 25 Front Street. “When Betty entered, the lights immediately dimmed three times rapidly. Betty, in a loud and clear voice, said, ‘Mrs. Anne May ... it’s me, Betty. I have come to visit the Vaughns. They’re good people and will take very good care of your home.’”
“The phone has not dinged nor the lights dimmed since,” Joyce said.
Joyce retired as city personnel director, compiling a 20-year tenure during Madison’s tremendous growth. She is one of the first two women certified as high school basketball officials in North Alabama.
Dennis retired in 1999 after 37 years of civilian service with the U.S. Air Force and Army. He was senior civilian manager for a major weapon system and continues working part-time.
The Vaughns are members of Madison United Methodist church and charter members of Madison Station Historical Preservation Society.

rolls out good tastes Panera Bread
24 Madison Living
Adding flavor to Madison’s b u r g e o n i n g U.S. Highway 72 corridor, Panera Bread
has established itself quickly as “an everyday oasis,” the cafe’s claim to a calm atmosphere and fresh fares.
“People seem happy to have Panera locally in Madison,” General Manager Jennifer Russell said about the cafe at 8179 U.S. 72 W. in the Shoppes of Madison. “We have already developed relationships with some of our regulars.”
Panera Bread prepares whole grain and French baguettes, bagels, cookies, pastries, soups, salads, barista and
smoothie drinks, and cold or hot panini sandwiches. The icing on the cake for Panera is its free WiFi.
The kid-tailored meal includes a beverage, a yogurt tube, and choice of salad, sandwich or soup.
Pecan rolls and cinnamon rolls are the biggest selling pastries. Sourdough is a favorite bread blend.

In January, Panera is offering some new menu items catering to New Year’s resolution dieters, Russell said.
Russell’s favorite meal at Panera is the Asiago Roast Beef sandwich on asiago demi bread.
Bruce Lemon, joint venture partner for Panera’s Alabama market, joined the company in 2000. He became familiarized with the company after transferring to St. Louis, Panera’s home base.
Alabama has 15 Panera cafes and three franchise locations in the Mobile area. Nationwide, the company has 1,636 locations.
“Our customers don’t want fast food and are able to come in and enjoy the great atmosphere and great foods,”
Lemon said. Lemon said the company also
emphasizes “operational integrity” in every step of preparing its food.
“We create an oasis for our customers,” Lemon said. “Panera Bread is somewhere to come in, sit and enjoy the atmosphere in our bakery cafes.”
Lemon said employees are integral to the experience. “We attract and hire a higher-quality individual who can provide friendly service.”
Panera appeals to a wide variety of customers. “Retirees come into the cafe, business people hold meetings, and students visit us,” Lemon said.
Lemon is very pleased with the reception the Madison cafe has received.
“We’re pleased with the performance so far and anticipate it continuing to grow,” he said.
In recent developments, Panera Bread is expanding its choices in salads and hot sandwiches. “We just rolled out a new Big-Kid Grilled Cheese Sandwich. It’s served on all-natural white miche and has a blend of gruyere, Vermont white cheddar and American cheese, and also has bacon,” Lemon said.
Panera will introduce a new line of pastas this year.
In community involvement, Panera “gives back to local food banks and donates our leftover product at the end of the night to organizations to help feed the needy,” Lemon said.
“We create an oasis for our customers.” — Bruce Lemon

In addition, Lemon said Panera Bread and the Panera Bread Foundation have joined with Feeding America to fight food insecurity in the United States. Panera Bread will donate its soup to Feeding America, the nation’s leading anti-hunger organization with more than 75 U.S. markets. Local food pantries, soup kitchens and other organizations will receive the food.
Russell oversees about 40 employees, with managers Timmy Kiker, Tim Sullivan, Jordan Adams and Ashley Clem.
Hours are 6 a.m. to 9 p.m., except opening at 7 a.m. on Sunday. For more information, call 256-721-7831 or visit www.panerabread.com.

house, everyone was in their seats and tried to act normal. Everyone had cheesecake except Tina. Tina knew I was going to give a little toast thanking the family for coming together, so I had her cheesecake in my hand. As I thanked the family for coming I then started telling Tina how special she is to me and thanking her for helping me to become the man I am and thanking God for placing us back into each others lives.
While I was talking I could read her lips as she was mouthing “No, he can’t be doing
what I think he’s doing.”As I got closer to her my heart was
pounding. I kneeled down in front of her, turned the cheesecake around, and asked her to marry me with the ring on top of the cheesecake. It took her awhile to say yes, because of the tears of joy and excitement, but she finally said yes! I really just thank God for placing us back in one another’s lives and for the things that I went through to get back to Tina. She really is a blessing in my life, and I can’t wait until she is Mrs. Johnson!
My name is Johnny M. Johnson II. I was born in Austin, Texas, but spent most
of my life in Loachapoka, Alabama. I’m a mommas boy and really love my family. I’ve always dreamed of having a family of my own, with a wonderful wife and children I can give my love to.
I came to Huntsville for school in 2003 and met Tina at Directv. We were both signing our paperwork to start working there. I looked up at her and thought she was very beautiful, but I just did not think she would talk to me with us signing papers.
Later on I started taking her out to lunch and getting to know her a little more. After a year of not talking to her I called her in the summer of 2009 and asked if I could come over and talk to her. She told me I could, and we talked about what had happened, and what each of us had done after we stopped talking to one another. We were getting our friendship back to the way it was in the beginning. It was great.
For the proposal I had to plan a year in advance. I kept telling her we were not going to talk about getting married until I graduated from school, and it set in her head that it would not happen until then. I told my mother and her mother I wanted to propose to her Christmas Eve. I told Tina we should have a family Christmas so each side of the family could get to meet each other. She did not think it was a good idea, but she changed her mind.
On Christmas Eve we went to Fantasy of Lights in Georgia and returned to her mother’s house. When Tina came in the

It was over thirty years ago, on a bus trip to Opryland Amusement Park that André and I first laid eyes on each other. André admits that he was smitten by me. At
that moment, the romantic “boy meets girl,” sparked a relationship of eight years. Our journey in life took separate paths. André enlisted in the Air Force, and I went on to pursue a career with the government.
It wasn’t until a recent encounter in 2011 that a flame between us was rekindled. Thinking about me, André called and asked, “When are you coming to Huntsville?”
“Next week for our family reunion,” I replied.
“You think I could see you while you’re home?” he asked.
Amused, I replied, “It’s a possibility, but I’m busy.”
That weekend he surprised me by coming to the Holiday Inn. While sharing cocktails in the lounge, his sister called and insisted we come to a party at her home.
Hearing an old song from the past, André quickly asked me to dance. Holding each other close, thoughts of the past shot through my mind and André found his love for me sparking.
The next day, while at Jason’s Deli for lunch, we continued to chat and catch up on old times. This was the beginning.
Like always, good things have to come to an end. I returned to Dallas. Realizing how much he enjoyed spending time with me, André called persistently. Over time, our usual fifteen minute conversations evolved into two hour heart-to-hearts. We enjoyed hearing one another’s voice on the opposite lines. Our friendship now had
&JoLanda André

more meaning.In September, André flew to Dallas. He
was on a mission. In the first few hours of his visit, he looked to me and said, “I didn’t come for a date, I came for a soul mate”. It was then that I realized the love we shared
over thirty years ago had come full circle. On Saturday, October 8, 2011,
André proposed, and I said, “Yes!” On June 24, 2012, we were married
overlooking Monte Sano Mountain in Huntsville.

I was born and raised in San Juan, Puerto Rico and moved to Alabama in 2008 to start a career at Redstone Arsenal.
Olivier was born and raised in Africa and moved to
Alabama a couple of years before I did. Being born in completely different
places, the odds were in our favor when my Latino roots took me to Club Rush where at the time they had “Salsa Nights,” and we met Thursday night, November 2010.
After eight months of dating, we decided to go to Las Vegas with his family in August 2011, just to spend the weekend.
While in Vegas he decided he wanted to go in a helicopter ride, which I thought it was a cool idea. The whole day prior
to the helicopter ride he was acting very weird.
I had no idea what was waiting for me on that helicopter ride.
While up in the air, overlooking Las Vegas scenery there it was — an engagement ring and that question, “Will you marry me?”
I was so shocked I didn’t immediately answer so, he said, “Aren’t you going to answer”, and of course I did!
That next November on 11/11/11 we had a private ceremony with the priest and the two of us in front of the lake in Guntersville, and we said I do!
Now a year later, after a lot of planning to be able to bring our families from all over the map to Huntsville, we are having our fairytale winter wonderland wedding January 5, 2013.

I was living in Florida when my work flew me to an Air Force Base on October 16, 2007.
My layover in Atlanta was a brief one, but long enough
to lay eyes on a handsome young man. He was with his colleagues and they were waiting at the same gate I was. He was coming back from a tour in Iraq.
As we boarded the plane, I was in front of him and I purposefully kept turning around to see where he was in line. One of those times, he caught me looking.
I found my seat on the plane, but began to sweat when the handsome gentleman sat in the seat in front of me! I found a way to interrupt his conversation on the plane, but disappointingly it lead to nothing.
As we waited at baggage claim, I had my number written on a piece of paper waiting to hand it to him.
Something told me I would regret not giving it to him, so I took a deep breath and asked him to show me around while I was in town. He kindly rejected me by saying he didn’t have a phone. I went back to my hotel.
I received a phone call hours later. He had borrowed his roommates’ phone. We met for dessert that night, and it was the only time I saw him while I was in town.
I returned home and we continued to talk on the phone.
He insisted on coming to visit me in November. I finally let him. When he came to visit me December 14, 2007, he proposed!
Since it was a fast engagement, we
promised our friends and family a long engagement. That didn’t last, as we got married December 31, 2007.
The ceremony took place in my home church and was just the two of us in our khaki pants and tops.
We lived apart while married for 16 months while he finished his commitment to the Air Force. Eight of those months I lived with his parents in Alabama.
We were married almost four years when we welcomed our first son on August 24, 2011. We just recently welcomed our second son on October 1, 2012. They are 13 months apart.
If I were my parents, I would have been so scared to let my daughter marry someone she knew for only two months. Our courtship was fast, but when you know… you know!

Billy and Rachel met and became friends in college at the University of Alabama in Huntsville. It wasn’t until after college that
their friendship grew deeper. Billy stayed in Huntsville after
graduating with a degree in aerospace engineering while Rachel moved from Huntsville to Dallas to New York City to Birmingham with her sales career.
They stayed in touch despite the long distance and shared a special friendship. Rachel moved back to Huntsville in the beginning of 2011 and it was the first time they had lived in the same city since college.
Their love for each other grew deeper and stronger.
Rachel had always joked the man of her dreams could propose on a post-it-note and she would say yes. So one evening in February, Billy, knowing Rachel’s heart, got down on one knee holding a post-it-note that had ‘Will you marry me?’ written on it.
Rachel was so surprised and said ‘YES!’ It wasn’t until later on March 14 that Billy asked Rachel to go flying with him to watch the sunset.
They met at a local airport, but there were issues with the plane he had reserved for the evening and they were unable to go flying to watch the sunset. This was not a part of Billy’s plan. Undeterred by having to keep their feet on the ground Billy decided to continue with the evening’s big plans. He had dinner reservations at their favorite Italian bistro in the park. They were walking hand in hand through the park when Billy stopped Rachel underneath a dogwood tree to get down on one knee.
This time he opened a ring box and verbally askedher, “Rachel Lynette Weaver, will you marry me?”
She of course said yes!Unbeknownst to Rachel, Billy asked her
&BillyRachel McDaniel
parents, sister, and brother-in-law to come and witness the proposal in the park. They watched from a distance and took pictures and video of the beautiful moment.
After the proposal and a long embrace with Billy, Rachel noticed her family
walking towards her from across the park. Rachel was so surprised her family had kept such a secret! After many tears and congratulations everyone walked over to the bistro for dinner where Billy had previously made reservations for six.

With Apollo Limousine Service, Robin Strickland has accompanied brides and grooms to picture-perfect sanctuaries at beautiful churches.
One of her best wedding memories was set in a different sanctuary.
After driving atop Monte Sano, Strickland took the couple to the serene, picturesque overlook. “We went on the premise of a picnic, but they wanted to get married. I found a preacher, decorated a corner of the lookout and had wedding music and witnesses. They wound up getting married there,” Strickland said.
Strickland founded Apollo Limousine Service in 2005 and recently opened an office at 16 Main St. in Madison’s historic Clay House. She and husband Jennings moved to Madison in 1985 and both worked at Intergraph Corporation. Unfortunately, they both lost their jobs in layoffs.
“What are we going to do?” the couple asked themselves as their savings dwindled.
One night, the Stricklands were waiting at a Wall Triana traffic light when a limousine drove by. “We can do that,” Robin said.
She was familiar with vehicles because her father had owned a car lot, and she had driven limos part time. They had found their niche and named the business in tribute to the Rocket City.
“People are in a limo for a happy occasion. Most people are going out to celebrate,” Robin said.
Apollo Limousine Service takes guests on rides of their dreams
Apollo’s fleet includes one black and one white 10-passenger Lincoln Town Car Limousine; a Lincoln Town Car Executive L-Series Sedan; a large, extended Suburban SUV; and vans.
Amenities include AM, FM and XM stereo, CD and MP3 players, two televisions, water and ice, and red-carpet service. “On special occasions like birthdays, we provide napkins and balloons,” Strickland said.
All drivers are experts with 10 years experience. “Happy drivers make happy clients. Happy drivers and clients make a happy Robin,” she said. “That’s our main success. Our drivers treat people the way they want to be treated.”
Happy occasions with Apollo Limo include wedding rehearsal dinners, bachelor parties and spa days for bridesmaids’ entourages, starting as early as 8 a.m. until
late-day weddings. For a romantic note, Apollo Limo can
add a bottle of champagne, a dozen roses in specified color and Ghirardelli chocolates for a memorable evening. Strickland once chauffeured a girl’s birthday party to Maple Hill Cemetery on Halloween. The parents “wanted to give their daughter a little scare. I drove behind the cemetery to a ‘haunted’ playground.” Strickland jiggled the interior lights and told the girls to leave the car.
Once outside, Strickland locked the doors, and the parents played recordings of children’s voices and rigged swings and seesaws to move. “Those girls went nuts, jumped the fence and headed out down the road,” she said.

to the classroomUniversity of Alabama’s executive
MBA program helps professionals excel
40 Madison Living
For people working full-time, the prospect of going back to school for professional development can seem daunting at best.
MBA programs usually demand a great deal of time, but there are local options for busy professionals looking to earn a graduate degree while they keep working.
One opportunity is the Executive MBA program offered by the University of Alabama’s Manderson Graduate School of Business, which offers classes on the UAHuntsville campus and at UA in Tuscaloosa.
Donna Blackburn, director of the Manderson Executive MBA program, underlines the nature of the program is to enable graduates to become more capable leaders.
“The program excels at helping managers deepen their understanding of business functions, Blackburn said. “We see students increase their confidence in leading teams, expanding their ability to analyze situations and broaden their global vision.”
The program is designed to emphasize more practical principles in a shorter period of time, compared with traditional MBA programs. A mid-level manager attending classes every other weekend can earn an executive MBA in less than 22 months. The program focuses on strategy, leadership, communications, financials and global initiatives.
Professionals in Alabama have good reason to seek out the additional training. According to the UA Graduate School of Business, 80 percent of EMBA alumni are promoted when they finish the program, and 32 percent of graduates receive three or more promotions.
The probability of advancement for EMBA women is even more impressive than for the program overall. Eighty-four percent of women graduating with an EMBA are promoted at least once.
Blackburn encourages professional women to seek out the opportunity presented by an EMBA. “All of the women are professionals accomplished in their various business fields,” Blackburn said. “They have families and work full-time while going to school. For many

“The University of Alabama EMBA program allows me to obtain a degree that
enhances my career and provides ROI to my company, and have
time for my family.”– AMY EDWARDS, EMBA 2013

women, having an MBA is an important designation for rising in rank.”
One highlight of the program is an international study abroad trip as part of the Global Strategy course required in each student’s final semester. EMBA students meet with representatives from a wide cross-section of industries, as well as senior and government officials.
Angie Reed, product marketing manager at Digium in Huntsville, dived into UA’s EMBA program to gain a broader understanding of business methods and principles. She completed the EMBA Program in 2011.In addition to the chance to gain business knowledge, she chose the program because it accommodated her working travel schedule. “Our classes met every-other weekend for a duration of 21 months.” Reed said. “This allowed me to maintain a work-school-home-life balance. I found it appealing to be in a classroom environment with other professionals (and) executives from a variety of local industries and disciplinaries to learn from their experiences in business.”
Reed said the program was more relevant and immediately applicable to her role at work than other school experiences. “I was able to take on more strategic roles in my career after completing the program. Going through the EMBA program was one of the most beneficial things that I have done during my career.”
The next cycle of UA’s Manderson EMBA program on the UAHuntsville campus begins in June. The application deadline is April 17. For more information, call the EMBA office at 205-348-4501 or visit emba.cba.ua.edu.

The Craig and Steven Hogan Family YMCA is a calming and transforming haven off the hectic, well-traveled Hughes Road.
“We strive to create a welcoming, family-oriented atmosphere that is full of energy and positive vibes,” said Drew Freeman, executive director of the Hogan Family YMCA in Madison.
The Hogan Family YMCA opened in Madison two years ago, but the Y has been in Madison County for over 100 years. “Our association, Heart of the Valley YMCA, has
been in Madison County since 1910, and we are thrilled to continue this important work through the Hogan Family YMCA in Madison,” Drew said.
The Y is more than a gym. It is a spiritual summit. “With a mission to put Christian principles into practice through programs that build healthy spirit, mind and body for all, the Y touches lives far beyond our four walls,” Drew said. “Our impact is felt when an individual makes a healthy choice, when a mentor inspires a child or when the community comes together for the common good.”
The Y is a nonprofit organization focused on something greater than profits. “As a charitable organization, the Y does not turn anyone away who doesn’t
have the ability to pay for membership or services by providing scholarships to families and individuals experiencing financial hardship,” Drew said. “We bring community together by connecting people of all ages and backgrounds to bridge the gaps in our community’s needs.”
The Y can have a big impact on the lives of its members. One year after joining the Y, Monica Tucker, 52 was diagnosed with breast cancer in June 2011. After 35 treatments of radiation, Tucker was diagnosed as cancer-free in October 2011.
During her radiation treatments, the Hogan Family YMCA played a vital role in the life of Monica, who is a single mother, and her daughter Ezelyn, 12.
“With the radiation they said I may end

up getting tired and not want to get up and do anything some days, so working out everyday, it helped,” Monica said.
When Monica was diagnosed with breast cancer, she also found out she had diabetes. Through her diet and exercising, Monica has been able to manage her diabetes without having to take any medication.
“I had a lot of support from work and the people at the Y,” Monica said.
After having a lumpectomy, Monica could not lift anything over 10 pounds while she recovered. They Hogan Family YMCA worked with her to find the best exercise regiment.
“They ask you all kinds of questions,” Monica said. Her exercise program was tailored to focus on her legs and waist.
The Hogan Family YMCA has activities and programs for all ages. “At our Y, you’ll find youth wellness programs such as GO!Kids and Kids Yoga, a variety of adult wellness programs from Zumba class to Boot Camp, summer day camps, afterschool camp, adult and youth martial arts, adult and youth sports, swim lessons for all ages, and senior wellness programs,” Drew said. “We also offer opportunities to volunteer whether it’s expanding our Children’s Garden, working at our Courtesy Counter or coaching soccer.”
The three-story play tower and climbing tree are hotspots for kids.
