letterfrompublisherSummer starts now. Garden to grill; barefoot

benefits; inspired living; do these phrases look familiar? They’re all blurbs from our cover, but they also mark the start of sunshine and summer fun.

Our feature article, page 22, Life Lift: Being Happy From the Inside Out discusses the secrets of living a happy life, and you’d be surprised at some of the answers. Marsha Richins, Ph.D., suggests that happiness is in the wanting, not the getting. That sounds a lot like a splurge on a new pair of shoes when your old ones only needed a bit of shining!

Fatherhood is certainly a source of happiness. And with father’s day just around the corner, a quote from page 31, Dad & Daughter Dates: Making the Most of Cherished Time Together, couldn’t have expressed a father’s happiness any better. “To a father growing old, nothing is dearer than a daughter.”–– Euripides. Check out page 32 for a list of daddy/daughter dates, to include trips for frozen yogurt, volunteering, and participating in a cooking class.

This month’s issue is our Quarterly Natural Pet edition. The next time you’re going out for a run, don’t leave your four legged buddy on the couch waiting for you to return home. Dog Sports: People & Pets Play Well Together, page 36, has a few family oriented exercises to include your furry friend. It doesn’t stop there, page 38, Outdoor Options for Feline Friends: Safe Ways to Let Them Explore suggests making a garden or going for a walk with your kitten using a mesh covered stroller.

Make this summer exciting and eventful. Start with the Healthy Living Expo on June 27 at Whole Foods Market in Greenville and attend some of the workshops and events listed in our calendar. You’d be amazed at what you can learn from the supporters of our magazine.

In health and harmony,

Linda and Jim

communitynewsLearningRx Offers New SummerEnrichmentPrograms

This summer, LearningRx will offer unique opportunities to address

common learning issues. As summer break approaches, parents are con-cerned about typical learning losses which occur. Researchers find that the average student returns to school in the fall a month behind spring academic levels. By continuing instruction dur-

ing the summer these losses can potentially be combatted and propel students toward greater achievement.

LearningRx will feature three new offerings in addition to traditional programs. The Jumpstart program is designed for early learners, while Comprehension Confidence caters to students who don’t need help with the mechanics of reading. Study Skills will also be offered for students aged elementary through college. Enrollment has begun for the summer session. Families are encouraged to take advantage of the enrichment programs today.

LearningRx is located at 1310 Garlington Rd. Ste K, Greenville. For more information, call 864-627-9192 or visit LearningRx.com/Greenville.


Garlic May Help Alleviate Cystic FibrosisThe American Society for Microbiol-

ogy reports that by age 18, about 80 percent of patients with cystic fibrosis are chronically infected with the bacte-rium pseudomonas aeruginosa, which promotes an inflammatory response that destroys lung tissue. The infec-tion frequently leads to serious related health issues. According to collabora-tive research led by Tim Holm Jakobsen, Ph.D., and Michael Givskov, Ph.D., of the University of Copenhagen, in Den-mark, garlic, which acts as a powerful natural antibiotic, could help. The onion-related herb contains ajoene, the major component of a mul-titude of sulfur-containing compounds, which is produced when garlic is crushed. Ajoene inhibits the expression of 11 key genes controlled by cell-to-cell communication and is regarded as crucial to the ability of the bacterium to cause disease.

Sugary Drinks Linked to Heart DiseaseOne risk factor for heart disease, the leading cause

of death in the United States, may be sugary drinks. Analysis of data collected on 42,883 men in the “Health Professionals Follow-Up Study,” published in the American Heart Association journal Circulation, linked a daily 12-ounce serving of a sugar-sweetened drink to a 19 percent increase in the relative risk of developing cardiovascular disease. Sugar-sweetened beverages were associated with higher levels of unhealthy triglycerides and C-reactive protein (a byproduct of inflammation), and lower levels of high-density lipoprotein, or HDL, the “good” cholesterol. Senior study author Frank B. Hu, Ph.D., a physician and professor of nutrition and epidemiology at the Harvard School of Public Health, in Boston, cautions that diet sodas are not a good alternative. “Some studies have found a relationship between diet soda and metabolic disease,” he notes.

healthbriefs

Breaks from email Boost focus and PerformanceA “vacation” from email might be a simple prescription for improving work

performance, suggests a new study by the University of California, Irvine (UCI) and U.S. Army researchers. “We found that when you remove

email from workers’ lives, they multitask less and experi-ence less stress,” says UCI Informatics Professor Gloria

Mark, who co-authored the study. Participants reported feeling better able to do their jobs and stay on task, and they were happier to interact with others in person. Also, getting up and walking to someone else’s desk instead of emailing provided physical exercise.

PSA Testing ControversyMen face a new dilemma at their annual physical

this year—should they be screened for prostate cancer? Last year, the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF) recommended against routine screen-ing for this form of cancer, regardless of age. Some doctors claim this will cause treatable prostate cancer cases to be missed. The level of prostate-specific antigen (PSA), a pro-tein produced by the prostate gland, can be measured with a simple blood test. Until the USPSTF issued its recommendation, doctors routinely used the test to screen men 50 and older. The task force, however, concluded there is at least moderate certainty that the potential harms of PSA testing outweigh the benefits; many benign conditions, particularly prostate infections and enlargement, can elevate PSA readings higher than normal, prompting more aggressive testing. Before deciding on the test, it helps for men to explore this issue with their doc-tor. Some physicians take a “wait and see” approach and retest several times over a few months before making a recommendation; others suggest an immediate biopsy if PSA levels are high. While a blood test is a benign procedure, a prostate biopsy is not. A high PSA reading coupled with an overly aggressive doctor can cause anxiety and result in additional—and possibly unneeded—medical treatment.

flavonoids Protect men against Parkinson’sFindings published

in the journal Neurology add to a grow-ing body of evidence that regular consumption of flavonoids, found in berries, teas, apples and red wines, can positively affect hu-man health. According to new research on 130,000 men and women under-taken by Harvard University, in Boston, and the UK’s University of East Anglia, men that regularly consumed the most flavonoid-rich foods were 40 percent less likely to develop Parkinson’s disease than those that ate the least. No similar protective link was found for women. It is the first human study to show that flavonoids can help protect neurons against diseases of the brain.


Fruits and Veggies Can Help Us Kick ButtsThe fi rst long-term study on the relationship

between fruit and vegetable consumption and smoking cessation offers good news: Eating more healthy produce can help smokers quit the habit and remain tobacco-free longer. Researchers from New York’s University of Buffalo School of Public Health and Health Professions surveyed 1,000 smokers ages 25 and over from around the country. In a 14-month follow-up, they were asked if they had abstained from tobacco use during the previous month. Those that consumed the most produce were three times more likely to have been tobac-co-free for at least 30 days than those that ate the least amount of produce. Smokers with greater fruit and vegetable consumption also smoked fewer cigarettes per day, waited longer to smoke their fi rst one and scored lower on a common test of nicotine dependence. The fi ndings, published online in the Nicotine and Tobacco Research journal, remained consistent even when ad-justed for age, gender, race, ethnicity, education and household income.

resveratrol can aid Prostate cancer treatmentIt’s already known that resveratrol, a compound found in grape skins and red

wine, can improve cardiovascular health and help prevent strokes. Now a University of Missouri School of Medicine (Columbia) researcher has discov-ered that it can make prostate tumor cells more susceptible to radiation treat-ment, increasing the likelihood of a full recovery from all types of prostate cancer, including aggressive tumors.

nutrition resPonse testing: Painless, PoWerful, and PersonaliZed by John Marone, DC

Nutrition Response Testing (NRT) is a precise, non-invasive method of

testing, analyzing, and correcting imbal-ances and nutritional defi ciencies in the body. Perhaps you experience allergies, head-aches, fatigue or a chronic health compli-cation such as diabetes or heart disease. Whatever your situation, chances are you could benefi t from NRT.

NRT was developed in the 1960’s by Freddie Ulan, D.C., C.C.N. and Lester Bryman, D.C., C.D.N. “It is based on decades of successful clinical outcomes helping sick people restore their health naturally—without drugs, without sur-gery, non-invasively and often relatively rapidly.” NRT begins with an analysis using muscle testing, which utilizes the body’s neurological refl exes and acu-puncture points. Each point tested relates to a specifi c organ or function within the body. In the testing, the practitioner is also looking for specifi c stressors such as food sensitivities, immune challenges, scars, metals, and chemicals in the body. Any of these may prevent the body from healing.

Based on the results of the testing, the NRT practitioner will make recom-mendations for dietary/lifestyle modi-fi cations and recommend whole food supplements, herbs, or homeopathic remedies to bring the body back to bal-ance.

Don’t Worry, Be HealthyThe adage, “Don’t worry, be hap-

py,” captures the essence of the first-ever metastudy of the relation-ship between happiness and heart health. Based on a comprehensive review involving 200-plus studies, researchers at the Harvard School of Public Health, in Boston, concluded that a positive outlook on life could help protect the heart from cardio-vascular disease. Julia Boehm, Ph.D., and Laura Kubzansky, Ph.D., discovered that certain psychological traits—opti-mism, positive emotions and a sense of meaning—both offer measur-able protection against heart attacks and strokes and slow the progres-sion of cardiovascular disease. The pair found that the most optimistic individuals had approximately 50 percent less chance of experiencing an initial cardiovascular event com-pared with their less upbeat peers. “The absence of the negative is not the same thing as the presence of the positive,” notes Boehm. “Psy-chology has been trying to fix what’s wrong with people, but there’s also an increasing interest in what people might be doing right.”

ecotipClean RideDIY Versus Commercial CarwashWe all want our new, energy-efficient vehicles to look their best, and eco-conscious drivers want to extend their green lifestyle to include cleaning their car. Washing can provide some exercise and saves money, but the International Carwash Association reports that auto-matic car washes use on average fewer than 45 gallons of water per car, com-pared with 80 or more at home. Com-mercial facilities also drain wastewater into sewer systems to be treated or reused, while soapy do-it-yourself water can directly enter waterways via storm drains unless it’s in an area that filters into a local aquifer.

Here are some helpful tips. Conserve water. For DIY folks, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency recommends using a bucket instead of a hose for washing a section at a time, and then quickly rinsing using a pistol-grip hose nozzle, and also washing the car on gravel or a lawn, so wastewater doesn’t flow off pavement or sidewalks and down a storm drain. Be sure to use phosphate-free, non-toxic biodegradable soaps and waxes. Check under the car. Grime, dirt and salt may have accumulated in crevices of the undercarriage, especially in colder regions, so spray underneath, too. Be observant. A fender-bender, stray pebbles or the impact of another car door may have chipped exterior paint. According to the National Institute for Auto-motive Service Excellence, corrosion, acid rain, storm damage and harsh sunlight can also mar body paint and expose metal surfaces. Treat these blemishes with a stop-rust spray and touch-up paint before they spread.

Home RangeRestoring Native Prairies, Yard by YardFrom Canada south to Texas and from Indiana west to Colorado, nearly 600,000 square miles of grassland once contributed to this continent’s complex ecosystem, supporting a diverse and teeming web of life. Today, less than 1 percent remains intact. The good news is that farmers and residents have been making inroads toward restoring this native landscape, convert-ing suburban yards and rural fields to expanses of tall grass and fallow pastures that welcome native species. Government agencies and conservation groups, aided by volunteers, have undertaken numerous restoration projects across U.S. and Cana-dian prairieland, some of them comprising thousands of acres. The initial investment in time and money starts with removal of invasive or even cultivated species and the planting of native grasses. Substantial benefits include low-maintenance ecosystems that require less water and no fertilizer while support-ing diverse wildflowers and wildlife. But it’s not as simple as planting a few seeds. In semi-rural and more urban areas, neighbors and zoning laws don’t always see eye-to-eye with these “new pioneers”, especially in deed-restricted communities. Concern over perceived property value de-terioration and a potential influx of vermin sometimes wins the day. Farmers have been known to plow under an entire restoration project upon news of rising grain prices due to the ethanol industry, in order to cultivate it for financial gain. It is evident that social and economic policies must support the effort if it is to succeed.

many treatments were used, and she responded dramatically to chiropractic, which helped her to resume a normal life. “At the time, I had an opportunity to go to medical school, but after witnessing my sister’s recovery through chiropractic, I decided to become a chiropractor,” says Bourg.

At Bourg Chiropractic, new patients receive an extensive chiropractic, orthopedic, and neurological exam, including computerized testing, surface electromyography (EMG) and computerized digital thermography. A treatment plan is deter-mined and may include a combination of modalities, includ-ing many different chiropractic techniques, applied kinesiol-ogy, and cold laser therapy. Microcurrent for musculoskeletal and neurological issues, including balancing the brain, is administered using Electro-acuscope and Myopulse. Auricu-lar Electro-acupressure works on acupressure points using specialized probes for stimulation. IonSpa™ detox footbath is used to aid in detoxification. Nutritional counseling for optimal diet and health and high quality supplements such as Standard Process®, Mannatech, and Nutri-West are provided, and Young Living™ Essential Oils, known as nature’s living energy, are also available.

Along with treatment, preventive care is also a focus at Bourg Chiropractic. “Back School” teaches proper er-gonomics and spine care with emphasis on stretching and strengthening exercises. Adjunctive therapies may also be suggested. If a client requires other specialized care, referrals to medical doctors or other health care providers are made. Bourg shares that he has a chiropractic adjustment every week, plays tennis, kayaks, hikes, and adheres to a healthy diet. He adds, “Anyone who has a spine, a nervous system and is alive, benefits from chiropractic care. Chiropractic is about much more than symp-tomatic relief, although it does provide that. It’s about helping people realize their potential.”

For some people with a history of traumatizing events related to being physically unconscious,

there may be an end to sleep apnea symptoms. Join Damaris Drewry, Ph.D. on June 11 from 7-9pm at Studio Rejuvenation in Greer to learn more about using new techniques to resolve the exact traumatic events that cause sleep apnea. Event cost is $20.

Sleep apnea can be life-threatening, and is considered incurable. It is possible to sleep through severe episodes, and people with untreated sleep apnea stop breathing many times during the night, usually snore, and wake up exhausted. The usual treatments for sleep apnea are difficult to use and cause additional problems. The word apnea means without breath and there are two types: obstructive apnea and central nervous system apnea. Obstructive apnea occurs when soft tissue at the back of the throat collapses during sleep and interrupts breathing, and central nervous system (CNS) apnea occurs when the airway is open but the CNS fails to signal the body to breathe continuously.

While there have been many recent advances in the treatment of trauma in general, it is only in the leading areas of energy psychology that a connection is made between the “Fight or Flight Response” and the onset of sleep apnea. The operative principle is that during a traumatizing event the nervous system, which controls breathing, becomes confused between living and dying, and stops the body from breathing during sleep because it is similar to losing

consciousness during the events such as birth trauma, near-drowning, car accident, surgeries, etc. Clearing the emotional charge from those events, and reframing the decisions made during those events defragments the body’s bio-computer and results are immediate. This is accomplished by connecting the dots between the onset of sleep apnea and the decisions made during previous traumatic events.

The present issue with the medical perspective on sleep apnea is that, in being defined as “incurable”, people feel powerless and doomed to be plugged into a CPAP machine in order to get any oxygenated rest. Having found that sleep apnea symptoms can be stopped by using Emotional Freedom Technique (a.k.a. tapping) to access the nervous system via the acupuncture meridians, and precise language with NeuroLinguistic Programming, people no longer have to feel hopeless in finding relief to sleep apnea. Refer to www.BeyondTalkTherapy.com for more information on how a huge range of physical and emotional issues can be cleared by resolving underlying traumatic events.

liFe liFtBeing Happy from the Inside Out

by Judith fertig

“Happiness is the only true measure of personal success,” advises Geoffrey James, of

Hollis, New Hampshire, author of How to Say It: Business to Business Selling. His work confirms that the rollercoaster world of business does not always promote a sense of well-being. James believes, “The big enemy of happiness is worry, which comes from focusing on events that are outside your con-trol.” For him, something as simple as a good night’s sleep contributes to personal happiness. Each of us has certain things that help make us feel positive, and they of-ten come in small moments, advises Ed Diener, Ph.D., a psychology professor at the University of Illinois and author of Happiness: Unlocking the Mysteries of Psychological Wealth. Based on 25 years of research into the subject, he’s a recognized expert in what he calls “subjective well-being.” In a recent six-part BBC series on happiness, Diener told viewers, “It may

sound silly, but we ask people, ‘How happy are you, on a scale of one to 10?’ The interesting thing is that it produces real answers that are valid—not perfect, but valid—and they predict all sorts of real things in their lives.”

Getting to HappyThe moment-to-moment path to hap-piness follows a trail blazed by para-dox. A recent University of Missouri College of Business study by Marsha Richins, Ph.D., suggests that happi-ness is in the wanting, not the getting. As noted Positive Psychologist Martin Seligman, Ph.D., remarks, “Focusing solely on happiness as a foundation of a good life,” won’t get you there. Gretchen Rubin, the New York City-based author of The Happiness Project and Happier at Home, further finds that, “Happiness doesn’t always make you feel happy.” Trying each day to be emotionally centered, affable, kind, conscientious, generous, patient, principled, accomplished, spiritual and

true to yourself—the kind of person that should be happy and that makes other people happy—can be tough. Widespread economic and associ-ated financial challenges have made many question whether money can buy happiness, a common core assumption of the “happiness starts on the outside” approach. Apparently, money can sometimes buy feelings of well-being, but only to a certain degree, according to researchers Angus Deaton and Dan-iel Kahneman, at Princeton University’s Woodrow Wilson School of Public & International Affairs. In 2010, they surveyed 450,000 ran-domly chosen residents across the coun-try via daily questionnaires. The study revealed that, “Low income exacerbates the emotional pain associated with such misfortunes as divorce, ill health and be-ing alone.” Yet they also discovered that, “High income buys life satisfaction, but not happiness,” and there is no further progress in happiness beyond an annual income of $75,000 (Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences). On the other side of the world, in the tiny Himalayan country of Bhutan, where 70 percent of its 717,000 citizens are subsistence farmers and an annual income of $75,000 would be considered a fortune, people say they are generally happy, partly due to the nation’s “hap-piness starts on the inside” philosophy. Since 1971, Bhutan has been operating based on a gross domestic happiness (GDH) value system. Bhutanese Prime Minister Jigmi Y. Thinley explains that the country has focused on growing both materially and spiritually, and citizen well-being has taken precedence over economic growth. For decades, this was deemed an oddity by many in the West, although now it appears prescient. “It’s easy to mine the land and fish the seas and get rich,” says Thakur Singh Powdyel, Bhutan’s minister of education. “Yet we believe you cannot have a prosperous nation in the long run that does not conserve its natural environment or take care of the well-being of its peo-ple, which is being borne out by what is happening to the outside world.” The country measures its success in main-taining GDH by conducting regular surveys of the population. The reigning

An age-old question rides a new wave of bestseller lists, university research and governmental soul-searching. The answers to “What are the secrets of a happy life?” might surprise us.


official definition of happiness involves peace, contentment and living in har-mony with all creation. Seligman, author of Flourish: A Visionary New Understanding of Happi-ness and Well-Being, has become a be-liever in GDH. “How can you measure well-being in a person, a family, a coun-try or globally?” he queries. Research by Seligman and his colleagues at the Uni-versity of Pennsylvania, in Philadelphia, points to four basic elements: positive emotion, relationships, meaning in life and accomplishment, or PERMA. Seligman says there are proven ways to improve each element. For positive emotion, writing down three “blessings”, or things that went well that day, can increase our feelings of gratitude and well-being. For relationships, actively listening and being present for a loved one and having that attention returned can strengthen those bonds. Increasing meaning in our lives, says Seligman, can be a challenge for Westerners. “We have threadbare spiritual and relation-ship furniture. We have too much ‘I’ and not enough ‘we,’” he says. But getting involved in something that increases the “we” factor will help make us happier.

Nurturing Signature StrengthsSelf-surveys at AuthenticHappiness.com can help us identify our strengths and realize what we’re especially good at—and we increase our feelings of accomplishment by doing more of them. “You can even figure out how to do the task you like least by using your signature strength,” Seligman advises. He shares an example of a grocery store cashier that disliked bagging groceries, but was exceptional at

social interaction. She made herself happier by chatting with her customers while she packed their selections. Lara Blair, a portrait photographer in Camas, Washington, believes in cel-ebrating strengths. “If making things is what you love, give it the space in your brain, home and life that it deserves.” Blair’s seminars and retreats help people tap ways to increase feelings of creativity, accomplishment and mean-ing. “If you nurture it and believe that growing this beautiful thing is worth the effort, the rewards will be more than you ever dreamed,” she says. When, as a happily married lawyer with children, Rubin thought her life was missing something vital, she used her love for reading and writing to explore that wistful, “What if?” She started researching subjective happiness via Marcus Aurelius, Samuel Johnson, Benjamin Franklin and St. Thérèse de Lisieux, whom Rubin refers to as her “spiritual master.” She decided to test-drive her findings at Happiness-Project.com and began blogging about new ways of thinking and behaving that were bringing her and her readers greater self-realization and contentment. “A great place to start is with your own body,” she counsels. “Are you

getting enough sleep? Are you getting good food to eat? When you take care of those very basic things, you feel en-ergized, and then you can start moving to address other issues.”

Sustaining HappinessOnce we’ve upped our happiness quotient, it can still be difficult to stay at that level, says Kennon Sheldon, pro-fessor of psychological sciences at the University of Missouri, in Columbia. In a recent study conducted with research-ers at the University of California-River-side, Sheldon and his colleagues found that by both recognizing that the desire for “more” and “better” in our lives won’t stop and also appreciating what we have, we’ll stay happy. It’s equally vital to continually keep things fresh, with positive new experiences at home, work, play and exercise, as well as in relationships. In other words, sustained happiness takes a little work. “Just before going to bed,” suggests James, “write down at least one won-derful thing that happened that day. It may be anything from making a child laugh to a big sale. Whatever it is, be grateful for the present day, because it will never come again.” The benefits of individual well-be-ing radiate to those around us, notes Se-ligman. “When individuals are flourish-ing, they are more productive at work, physically healthier and at peace.” He believes that as we find ways to in-crease positive emotion, relationships, meaning in life and individual accom-plishment, it’s possible for life on Earth to flourish.

In outdoor spaces from Cape Cod, Massachusetts, to Arch Cape, Or-egon, produce is growing and grill

embers are glowing. Growing a garden and grilling its bounty have never been more popular. For the first time since 1944, when 20 million “Victory” gardeners pro-duced 44 percent of the fresh vegeta-bles in the United States, food garden-ing is outdistancing flower gardening. In its latest survey of garden retailers, the National Gardening Association found that consumers’ spending for growing their own food hit $2.7 billion, versus $2.1 billion for flowers. Barbecuing grill chefs are expand-ing their repertoire beyond grass-fed burgers and steaks. More vegetables and fruit are being grilled now than in the past, according to the latest annual sur-vey by leading grill manufacturer Weber. This all makes sense to Karen Adler and Judith Fertig, co-authors of The Gar-dener & the Grill. They’ve observed that when the bounty of the garden meets the sizzle of the grill, delicious things hap-pen. “Natural sugars in vegetables and

fruits caramelize,” says Adler. “Essential oils in fresh herbs become more aro-matic. The colors of fruits and vegetables stay more vivid when grilled, rather than when cooked any other way.” “Grilling gives even familiar foods an exciting new makeover,” notes Fertig. For example, by cutting a head of cabbage into quarters, brushing each cut side with olive oil and then grilling and chopping, the backyard chef infus-es a grill flavor into a favorite coleslaw. Flatbreads, patted out from prepared whole-grain or gluten-free pizza dough, can be brushed with olive oil, grilled on both sides and then topped with flavor-ful garden goodies. Simple fruits like peaches and plums—simply sliced in half, pitted and grilled—yield fresh taste sensations, especially cradling a scoop of frozen yogurt. A quick foray to the garden or farmers’ market can provide just the right colorful, flavorful edge to any summer barbecue.

Kale, Potato and Chorizo PizzaHearty but not heavy, this pizza takes kale (or alternatively, Swiss chard or collard greens) and onions from the garden, and then adds vegetarian chorizo to accent.

Yields 4 servings

1 pound fresh whole grain or gluten-free pizza dough¼ cup whole grain or gluten-free flour for sprinkling4 new potatoes, cooked and thinly sliced8 kale leavesOlive oil, for brushing and drizzlingGrapeseed oil for brushing the grill rack8 oz cooked and crumbled vegetarian chorizo (Portuguese or other spicy sausage optional)½ cup chopped green onion (white and light green parts)Coarse freshly ground black pepper

Prepare a hot fire on one side of the grill for indirect cooking. Oil a perfo-rated grill rack with grapeseed oil and place over direct heat.

Divide the dough into four equal parts. Sprinkle with whole grain or gluten-free flour and press or roll each piece into an 8-inch circle. Sprinkle flour of choice on two large baking sheets and

place two rounds of dough on each sheet. Brush the potatoes with olive oil, place on the perforated grill rack and grill for 15 minutes, turning often, or until tender before topping the pizza.

Brush the kale with olive oil. Grill leaves for 1 minute on each side or until slightly charred and softened. Quickly trim off the bottom of the stalk and strip the leaves from the stems. Finely chop the leaves and set aside.

Brush one side of each pizza with olive oil and place, oiled side down, on the direct heat side of the grill grate. Grill

for 1 to 2 minutes or until the dough starts to bubble. Brush the top side with olive oil and flip each pizza round, us-ing tongs, onto a baking sheet.

Quickly brush pizza rounds with ad-ditional olive oil, and then spoon on one-fourth of the sliced potato and grilled kale.

Sprinkle toppings of sausage and green onion. Drizzle a bit more overall olive oil and season with pepper.

Using a grill spatula, place each pizza on the indirect side of the fire. Cover and grill for 4 to 5 minutes or until the kale has slightly wilted and the topping is hot. Serve hot.


Baja Fish TacosFresh fish tacos with a twist are a healthy treat. Tip: Assemble the raw slaw ingre-dients before grilling the cabbage, which cooks simultaneously with the fish.

Yields 4 servings

Grilled Napa Cabbage Slaw Taco Topping1 large head Napa cabbage, cut in half lengthwiseGrapeseed oil, for brushing1 cup assorted baby greens, such as spinach, oak leaf lettuce or Boston lettuce8 green onions, chopped (white and green parts)¼ cup tarragon vinegar¼ cup sour cream½ cup freshly squeezed lemon juice½ tsp fine kosher or sea salt

Baja Fish1½ lbs mahi mahi, catfish, halibut or other mild, non-farmed, white fish (about ¾-inch thick)¼ cup blackened seasoning or other barbecue spice mixture8 whole-wheat flour tortillas, for serving8 lemon wedges, for serving1½ cups of a favorite salsa, for serving

Prepare a hot fire in the grill.

Brush the cut sides of the Napa cab-bage halves with oil. Coat the fish fillets

with the blackened seasoning or other selected spice mix.

Grill the cabbage, cut-side down, directly over the fire for 2 to 3 minutes or until the cabbage shows good grill marks, then remove from heat.

Grill the “flesh”, or cut side, of fish fillets first (not the skin side, which is darker because it is more delicate) di-rectly over the fire for 3 to 4 minutes.

Turn the fish only once, and finish cooking with the skin side against the grate another 3 to 4 minutes, for 10 to-tal minutes per inch of thickness (most fish fillets are about ¾-inch thick). Note: The skin side is last because it has more connective tissue and holds together better on the grill.

Finish assembling the slaw. Thinly slice the grilled cabbage and place in a large bowl. Stir in the greens and green onions. Having earlier combined and mixed the vinegar, sour cream, lemon juice and salt for the slaw dressing in a small bowl, now pour it over the greens mixture. Toss to blend.

Assemble the tacos by placing some of the grilled fish on each tortilla. Top each with about one-third cup of the slaw and roll up, soft taco-style. Serve with a lemon wedge and a small rame-kin of salsa.

Clouds come floating into my life, no longer to carry rain or usher storm, but to add color to my sunset sky.

~Rabindranath Tagore


A foodie not only likes food but is deeply interested in it. Just as a student thirsts for knowledge, a foodie wants to learn about food. A foodie always knows the answer when asked “What are you eat-ing?” You may be a foodie if you know what you like and why. You know why some foods are better than others and relish great tasting food at every meal.

You might eat a hot dog and french fries at times, but you don’t fool yourself into believing that it’s a nutritionally balanced meal. You may not know the difference

between a beefsteak tomato and an heirloom tomato but are interested in

learning. You may not shop exclusively at farmers’ markets but still look for

good, fresh produce. You may find some foods distasteful. You may like food that

others consider “weird.” That’s OK — you’re no less a foodie. You like food, enjoy learning about food, and most

importantly, relish eating food.

Grilled Peaches with Lemon Balm GremolataThis recipe is simple, yet full of flavor. A traditional gremolata condiment includes parsley, lemon zest and garlic, but this sweeter version finds delicious-ness in fruit. Using a microplane grater culls the flavorful yellow part of the lemon rind without the bitter white pith. Chopping the herbs with the lemon zest make the flavors blend together better.

Yields 4 servings

¼ cup packed lemon balm leaves or 1 Tbsp packed mint leaves½ tsp lemon zestPinch kosher or sea salt4 peaches, halved and pitted

Prepare a medium-hot fire in the grill.

Chop the lemon balm or mint and lemon zest together until very fine. Sprinkle a pinch of salt over the leaves and chop again. Set aside in a small bowl.

Place the peach halves cut-side down on the grill. Grill 4 to 6 minutes, turn-ing once, until they are tender and slightly blistered.

To serve, place two peach halves in each guest’s bowl and sprinkle the lemon balm gremolata over all of them.

The ancient Greek playwright Euripides, renowned for his Greek tragedies portraying strong female

characters, was likely a decent dad. He wrote, “To a father growing old, noth-ing is dearer than a daughter.” Entrepreneur and life coach Greg Wright, of Austin, Texas, updates the concept of this precious relationship in Daddy Dates: Four Daughters, One Clueless Dad, and His Quest to Win Their

Hearts. He says that before the age of 30, God gave him a lovely wife; four girls, or “beginner ladies”; and a succinct mission statement: “Don’t mess up.” Possessing an overwhelming compassion and protective instinct for each of his children, Wright decided early on “to teach them the right way to date and to treasure their specialness as much as I do.” One of his chief assignments was

respectfully modeling good dating habits for his daughters, a talent that doesn’t necessarily come naturally to dads. They may understand how signifi cant a fathering relationship is to her self-worth in becoming a dauntless and indepen-dent adult, but may be uncertain how to make a proper investment spiritually and emotionally. Healthcare marketing executive David Kinard, of Seattle, Washington, in-vests heavily in both his son and daugh-ter. Having grown up in a separated family with no fatherly role model, he has focused on spending time with both kids, and knows it’s especially important for a girl. “I wanted my daughter to know that I loved her for who she was and not for anything she said or did, and that she didn’t need to give her body away to fi nd love.” He felt the best way to convey these truths was to provide dedicated time together. Wednesdays were without fail their date nights, be-ginning at age 4; dates are less frequent now that his daughter is 16, but even when the relationship feels at odds, dates have consistently brought them together. “She always got to choose where we went to dinner,” Kinard recalls. “We’d sit for a long time, eat our favorite foods and play a silly card game.” They talked about anything, nothing, every-thing. “She glows when she talks about past dates,” he continues. “I have earned the ability to talk with her about the

more sensitive subjects in her life such as boys, sex, friends and family.” Seattle Pacific University Alumni Director Ken Cornell believes that bonding through dating his two girls, ages 14 and 17, is a true privilege. He says the same is true of his wife of 27 years. “It is so important to get away from the routine, to focus on each other,” Cornell remarks. “It’s amazing what is said when we give space for a relationship to deepen.” His younger daughter believes, “It’s confidence building; it makes me stron-ger to be with someone who believes and has hope in me.”

He finds grace in prayer. “I ask God regularly for wisdom and for-giveness to help me steward my relation-ship with my daughters and wife.” The writer’s own family of six, including two daughters, has a long history of carving out precious time for refreshing fun. It naturally evolved from movies and petting zoos when they were young to canoeing and college campus events as they grew up. “My boyfriends knew that if we were going to last, they had to impress my dad,” remembers our youngest daughter Amy, today a wife and esthetician liv-ing in Medina, Ohio. “It was important to know that my dad cared enough to engage in my life. When college life was chaotic, it was comforting to have a dad close to my heart. Our dates through the years allowed us to share stories, secrets and sorrows, and to laugh.”

Barefoot walking conjures images of children playing in open fields and families strolling on a beach,

yet it can also embrace many other set-tings as part of a health and fitness rou-tine and lifestyle of optimum wellness. As Michael Sandler and Jessica Lee attest in their new book, Barefoot Walk-ing, “It’s not just physical; it’s soothing on an emotional and spiritual level.” In adults, many muscles in our feet may have weakened and atrophied due to disuse from wearing shoes, which substitute the support and mobility that our bodies’ lower parts were created to

provide. Years of wearing tight-fitting shoes or high heels can also hamper bone density and proper alignment of each foot’s 28 bones; produce aches and pains in knees, back and neck; and constrict circulation to legs and feet, a condition compounded by desk jobs. Here are some tips in preparing to go shoeless: Work out feet. Prevention.com advises working to individually wiggle each toe; touch and rub each in its entirety; and flex and move both feet in as many different ways as possible. This will help them better absorb and

distribute weight. Then, suggest San-dler and Lee, try “grabbing” exercises for toes, picking up round objects ranging in size from golf balls to baseballs. Also practice arch lifts, calf raises and ankle rolls. Check it out. Walk around a room and note if the weight upon landing moves from the heel to the big toe right away; if so, try shifting bodyweight while walking so that the pressure pro-ceeds from the heel to the little toe and then across to the big toe. This maxi-mizes functioning of the entire foot and keeps the arch from collapsing inward. This subtle change helps support knees, the pelvic floor and even abdominal muscles. Fields, dirt trails and beaches are ideal sites to start walking barefoot. Repeated skin-to-ground contact also coincides with grounding, or earthing, a therapy that connects a being with Earth’s electrical field. The concept is that this allows negatively charged free electrons to enter and eliminate free radicals, the positively charged particles that may cause diseases and inflammation. When we’re in shoes, “We’re separated [from the Earth] by an inch of rubber, which is a fantastic resistor to electricity,” the co-authors point out. Because barefoot walking stimu-lates foot nerve endings, it’s also a form of self-reflexology, helping to lower blood pressure and anxiety


while bolstering the immune system. For all these reasons, enthusiasts con-jecture that it’s wise to follow in the natural footsteps of healers past and present that have chosen to walk this way. Sandler provides special tips on get-ting started for some specific groups:

Children: “They haven’t had their feet weakened by wearing shoes for many years, so let them develop their own style.” Pregnant women: Start with a tiger walk technique (land with the heel barely off the ground, focusing on grab-bing traction with the toes) for as much stability and fullest contact with the ground as possible. Seniors: Use a walk and roll tech-nique (lift the forefoot up before gently landing heel first) to keep weight directly beneath the body’s center of gravity. “Some seniors are fearful of going bare-foot; concerned their feet are soft and sensitive. But they find that it actually helps them regain balance, coordination and body-brain connections.” A key to expanding onto terrains like gravel and pavement while avoid-ing injury is to build up stronger plantar skin on the bottom of the feet, because it is “600 percent stronger than skin elsewhere and can grow even thicker, up to half an inch, but only if you use it,” according to Sandler and Lee. “Go-ing about barefoot stimulates additional skin growth (layering) and pushes the moisture out of the skin (strengthening), which together, thicken the soles of your feet.” Other basic tips to avoid injury in-clude: go slow, build foot strength, focus on form, learn to rest, inspect feet daily for potential nicks or scratches and see a physician if in doubt about anything. “Once you’re aware of your sur-roundings and have toughened up your feet, you’ll avoid most sharp objects and be relatively shielded from the rest,” advise Sandler and Lee, who see the activity as a big step toward greater overall health awareness. “You’ll learn more about your body… what’s right and what’s not, what’s working and what can be improved.”

A pet boarding facility that was “divinely inspired?” That’s how Sandy Guenther, owner of Maui

Meow Resort in Simpsonville, SC, describes her business. Guenther relates that in 2008, while sitting in her easy chair thinking about how best to use the large garage attached to her house, the idea to open a cat boarding facility spontaneously came to mind. She envisioned an attractive environment where cats would feel safe and well-cared for. As a life-long animal lover whose first job out of high school was working in a veterinary clinic, Guenther knows what pets need to feel comfortable and secure.

Maui Meow Resort is climate-controlled with 60x30 individual bungalows, a 14’x21’ carpeted play area and a two level boardwalk for climbing. It has large windows for outside viewing and sunning. The walls portray a beach scene with sand, water and palm trees. Because the facility is for cats only, there are no barking dogs, so the setting is very quiet. “Best of all, I’m the caregiver and live on-site in my own home. I am always available for the cats, making sure each one has time in the play area and that they get the attention they need,” says

Guenther.Bedding, litter, individual litter

box, scoop, food bowl and a locker to hold the carrier are provided. A per night charge is made, with no additional charge for medication administration or any individualized request such as special treats. For clients with multiple cats, a 10% discount is given. No additional charge is made for holidays. All

pets must have current immunizations. The facility is fully insured and has a security system. Most clients bring the cat food their pet prefers. If not, dry food is available. Drop-off and pick-up times are flexible for the client’s convenience.

Guenther says that the best way to decide to use Maui Meow Resort is to tour the facility. “I’m going to care for your pets as I care for my own. We see our cats as part of our family. I built this facility with this in mind. When you entrust your pets to me, I do the best that I can for you and for your cats,” Guenther assures.

With most exercise programs, while his person works out, a dog stays home alone, count-

ing squirrels outside the window and wishing Animal Planet wasn’t a rerun. How about bringing some of that exer-cise home so the pet gets fit, too? John E. Mayer, Ph.D., a Chicago clinical psychologist and author of Fam-ily Fit, maintains that, “Fitness works best as a group event, including the family dog. They love to participate in many things, so be creative. Try swim-ming, touch football, jumping rope, rollerblading, tag or hide-and-seek.” Diane Tegethoff Meadows and Susan Riches, Ph.D., each accepted a

challenge to exercise with their dogs 30 minutes a day for 30 days. “I walk my three Scotties every morning any-way, so adding minutes was easy,” says Meadows, a retired senior paralegal in Bulverde, Texas. “One of them is in charge of choosing the route, and we seldom go the same way two days in a row.” Riches, a retired Fort Lewis College professor and archaeologist, in Durango, Colorado, doesn’t let inclement weather interfere. “Inside, we play fetch up and down the stairs,” she says. “I hide treats for tracking games of ‘find it.’” The dogs also like to jump through hoops. “The Scottie and Westie go at it for 30 min-utes; the Maltese stops after 15.”

Dog Running Tipsby Jeff lutton

4 Start slow 4 Run warm-up laps4 Take breaks 4 Always carry water

4 Keep nails trimmed

nAvoid running on hot pavement with longhaired or thick-coated dogs.

nShorten mileage for pups under 2 years, as well as older dogs.

nAvoid concrete surfaces, which are rough on paw pads.

nStay away from winter road salt; it can cut and further damage paws.

nWatch for hip or knee problems;if a dog lags behind, it’s time to stop.

et Jeff Lutton, a Dogtopia dog day-

care/boarding franchisee in Alexandria, Virginia, conducts a popular running club. “On Sunday mornings we have about 15 people that run with their dogs. My golden retriever used to run six miles, but since she’s 9 now, we’ve cut back to three.” “Treibball [TRY-ball] is herding without sheep, soccer without feet,” ex-plains Dianna L. Stearns, president of the American Treibball Association, based in Northglenn, Colorado. “All you need is Pilates balls, a target stick for point-


ing, a signal clicker and treats. It’s a fun, problem-solving game for all involved.” The idea is for the dog to direct rub-ber balls into a goal with its nose, shoul-der and/or paws—eventually, as many as eight balls in 10 minutes. Treibball can be played in group classes or competitions or at home using a kiddie soccer goal. Another exercise option is to turn the backyard into an obstacle course for the dog, kids and adults. Use a clicker to signal the next move. Four or fi ve hula hoops spaced a bit apart provide a pattern for a sit/stay game as the dog moves into each one on command. A thin wooden dowel across two boxes and anchored to a stick-on photo hook on either end provides a hurdle. A child’s oversized plastic golf club hits a tennis or plastic ball just far enough for the dog to retrieve. For a doggie triathlon, add more elements, such as yard races between dogs and children on their tricycles or scooters down a straight path, with everyone cooling off in a hard-plastic swimming pool as part of the event. For dogs that are older or have mo-bility issues, some stretching before or even after exercise is suggested. “Doga [dog yoga] has become a daily ritual

with my 11-year-old golden retriever since the onset of arthritis in her hips and back. Besides keeping her joints limber, it’s good one-on-one time for us,” says latchkey dog expert Eileen Proctor, in Castle Rock, Colorado. “Whenever she wants to stretch, she will come up and gently paw me,” relates Proctor. “Her favorite is the up-ward dog pose. Before practicing doga, this dear one had trouble getting to her feet, and then was lame for a minute. Now she is able to get up and move

about immediately.” When exercising with pets, always keep plenty of water handy, start slow and watch out for how the weather or workout affects the participants. Scientists have changed from saying it takes 21 days to form a new habit to admitting it may take up to three times that long. That might be true for people, but try explaining it to the dog standing at the back door on day two—he’s ready to do it again.

While some cats are content to stay indoors, others want to go outside. Even if they

remain in the yard, letting them out without a plan can put them in danger. Gently managing a cat’s outdoor expe-rience can instead ensure a consistently safe, enjoyable time without worry or compromising its freedom. A few

ward off mosquitoes and complement family meals. Many plants can be toxic. Veterinar-ian Jane Brunt, executive director of the nonprofit CATalyst Council, in Annapolis, Maryland, advises: “Make sure the plants in your garden are safe, in case your cat is tempted to taste anything. Say no to foxglove and lily species, since they’re poisonous to cats.” Find an extensive list of both safe and problem plants at Tinyurl.com/ASPC-ToxicPlantGuide. Note that aloe vera, asparagus fern, philodendron, dief-fenbachia, tomatoes and many varieties of ivy are also among species that can cause consequences ranging from an upset stomach to kidney failure and even death, if ingested.

Protect from Predators“Never leave a cat outdoors unattended,” says Dr. Cindy Houlihan, owner of The Cat Practice, in Birmingham, Michigan. “During the day, problems can include stray cats, hawks or loose dogs. Another danger is the movement of foxes, rac-coons, coyotes and owls close to urban areas where the food supply is more plen-tiful. Elderly cats are particularly prone to harm. An enclosure is the best way to keep a cat safe outdoors.” Paris Permenter and John Bigley, bloggers at CatTipper.com, an online magazine for cat lovers, built a “catio” for daytime use by their felines. Located in Cedar Park, Texas, their four rescue cats need protection from coyotes. “It’s attached to our house, like a small screened porch,” explains Permenter. “The cats use an open window that’s


fitted with a cat flap for access; we also have a human-sized screened door, so that we can go in to clean the room. It’s enriched their lives and given a former community cat a bet-ter home, as well.” In Wheat Ridge, Colorado, Jane Dorsey, volunteer co-ordinator for the Cat Care Society, utilizes “habicats” both at the shelter and at home. Because her first cat, Chessie, was an escape artist, Dorsey decided to use a large dog pen (12 feet long by six feet tall) as an enclosure. Stood on end, it at-taches to the house and has a weatherproof panel roof. A cat door leads to the kitchen. “Chessie’s personality improved because she was able to decide when to go in and out. For easy cleanup, we used pavers for flooring.” In lieu of safe garden access, experts suggest likewise setting aside a small area inside any enclosure for a pot of plants. Also, pet tents made by Sturdi Products and Kritter Kommunity facilitate more portable enclosures. Houlihan finds that, “In case of a sudden change in weather, the cat can avoid heat stroke or a scary storm.” Then there’s the live entertainment factor: “Cats love vertical space, so a cat tree or actual tree limb, properly anchored, can let him have a better view of birds, lizards, toads, chip-munks and squirrels without harming them,” she says. “It’s like kitty television.”

Go for a WalkA mesh-enclosed stroller allows a cat to ride in safety while the walker burns calories. In case of a sudden noise or loose dog, the cat can’t escape. Houlihan also recalls a patient called Uti (pronounced YOU-tee), that was prone to chew-ing electrical cords. “His owners now take him outside for a daily stroll; he’s no longer bored and has quit chewing.” Adopted from a local shelter as a kitten, Makai also goes for accompanied walks. Due to heavy traffic near their Baltimore, Maryland, row home, Andrea Mar-tin, a manager with Brand Public Relations, and her husband Nick, use a harness and leash to take her outside. “We often get the, ‘You’re

taking your cat for a walk?’ look,” relates Martin, but that hasn’t stopped this adventurous team. “She likes taking a break from being indoors,” she explains. Make sure the har-ness fit is tight enough so the cat can’t wiggle out of it. With proper planning, any kitty can safely enjoy the great outdoors and the sun on its back.
