une is here and with it comes a time of celebrations—Father’s Day,graduations, weddings and the beginning of summer. The outdoorseason is now in full swing and the summer festivities are set to begin.Get ready to enjoy all the many festivals and fairs the greater Milwaukeearea has to offer.

One great way to enjoy the summer weather is visiting the MilwaukeeCounty Zoo. Our cover story for this issue features four of the manywomen who work at the zoo. As many times as I have been to the zoo

and talked with Dawn Fleuchaus, our featured zookeeper, I still learned somethingnew about the zoo and the many careers of the women who work there. It trulytakes a dedicated community of employees, from those who work in customerservice and pick up garbage to those in the administrative offices, to enrich the livesof the animals and the thousands of visitors each year.

With all of our summer activities, we will want to look our best. One of the bestways to look our best now and in the future is to take good care of our skin and hair.Read how to do this with our articles on summer skin and hair care and how toprotect yourself from skin cancer, as well as in our special salon and spa advertorialsection.

In this issue, we have also included our summer issue of Milwaukee Familymagazine, one of our other publications geared toward family issues. This magazineis published four times a year. In this issue, we are featuring summer safety tips forthe whole family, an A-to-Z list of summer fun in Wisconsin, an article on theimportance of summer learning, a list of some summer reading suggestions and acalendar of local family events. We hope you enjoy this added bonus that we are veryproud of.

Finally, I want to send out a friendly reminder to remember your dad this Father’sDay. This the perfect opportunity to let your dad know how much he is loved andappreciated; and if you have children of your own, you might want to show someappreciation for your children’s father as well. After all, fathers play a very importantrole in our lives.

I know I owe my dad a great deal of gratitude for all that he has done for me,but most of all, I want him to know that without him I wouldn’t have learned thetrue meaning of love, honor and cherish. Thank you, Dad. I love you.

Happy Reading!

JEDITOR’S NOTE

heir workspace is nearly200 acres. Their jobsinvolve more than 330species of animals repre-senting every continenton Earth. Their workcan be physical, danger-ous and dirty, but alwaysinteresting. Every day

people come by the thousands to see theresults of their labor. They are the womenof the Milwaukee County Zoo.

Dawn Fleuchaus, 42, is one of 67zookeepers at the Milwaukee County Zoo-- a job that was once the purview of men.“They’d wear the hats and white shirtswith little ties,” she said with a grin.There now are more women than menzookeepers on staff, she said. “Women aregood multitaskers. I think women aremore observant, too,” she said.

Fleuchaus’s clothes are befitting herwork: a pair of khakis, a long-sleeve teeshirt marked with the Zoo logo and stur-

dy work boots. Her sandy blond hairpulled out of the way, trails down herback in a braid. Her job requires her to betough and tender, physical and gentle.She is always focused. In most cases, herlife depends on it.

On this day, Fleuchaus works withzookeeper Patti Schnell. Both women areslim and lithe, but no match for a half-ton bear. “Doesn’t matter. Nobody couldoverpower these animals no matter whatsize you are,” Fleuchaus said, which iswhy zoo policy requires zookeepers to pairup when handling certain animals.Latches are double-checked and there isvisual and verbal confirmation by bothkeepers on the whereabouts of the ani-mals throughout a procedure.

Fleuchaus is the area supervisor for theNorth American and Australian sectionsof the zoo. She cares for, feeds, medicatesand observes her charges.

TWhere the

things areBY JUDITH BERGER

4 | WISCONSIN WOMAN JUNE 2012

Dawn Fleuchaus, Zookeeper, rewards and Alskan Brown Bear with a treat.

As area supervisor for the North Americansection Dawn gets up close to a moose..


Fleuchaus and Schnell prepare to feed Borisand Aurora, male and female Alaskan BrownBears, calling them by name into a secure hold-ing area. They watch through two separatedoors as the bears lumber into an area whereFleuchaus feeds them sliced apples as a rewardfor their efforts. “We have established a routinewith them. They know when it’s time to eat.They know they’ll get treats when they moveinto this area.”

The maneuver evacuates the exhibit area soit can be cleaned and prepped for one of theirthree daily meals. Zookeepers develop enrich-ment activities to stimulate the animals, likethe paper-mache, hollow balls filled with bearchow, raisins, chopped fruits and vegetables.Fleuchaus places the filled balls, the size of mel-ons, along with trout and partially frozenground beef, around the habitat making thebears work for their meal. “Bears forge for foodin the wild. So we try to make it a challenge forthem, make them look for the food, whichmakes them more active,” she said.

In the wild, animals eat whenever food isavailable. At the zoo, food is always available.“Which is one reason we need animals tomove around. We adjust diets seasonally.” Thepolar bears get a pound of lard a day when theiractivity levels call for it. Many animals havedietary restrictions. It’s Fleuchaus’s responsibil-ity to keep track of the diets and post them forthe other zookeepers to follow. Feeding time isa working lunch for the zookeepers. Fleuchausmixes in vitamins, supplements and medica-tions as needed into chopped meat or fish --each portion weighed out and measured.

Feeding time gives Fleuchaus and Schnellan opportunity to give animals their once-overdaily examine. As the seals open their mouthsto take in a delectable morsel of slimy squid,Fleuchaus quickly examines their teeth. Shegoes through a short training session giving heran opportunity to check paws, claws, motorskills, skin and fur. As long as she has tasty fishas a reward, the seals seem fine with the inspec-tion.

The women are strong and sure-footed asthey navigate the exhibits designed for ani-mals, lift heavy containers of frozen meat,move large hoses and scoop ponderous shovel-fuls of waste. The weather and the physicalaspects of the job can be challenging,Fleuchaus said. The flies and humidity in thehot summer and the piles of snow and freezingtemperatures in the winter pose separate chal-lenges. “You get in shape quickly and learn tobe prepared for the weather extremes,” she said.

Fleuchaus always wanted to work with ani-mals. She earned her bachelor’s degree in ani-

mal biology and biological aspects of conserva-tion from the University of Wisconsin –Milwaukee. “I was told this is a career you gointo because you love it.” When she got out ofcollege, she took a temporary position at theRacine Zoo, which grew into a permanent job.She was with the Racine Zoo for six yearsbefore coming to the Milwaukee County Zoo.

Schnell, 33, has been with the zoo for fiveyears. She has been a zookeeper for the pastyear. She is not assigned a permanent area, butworks roaming assignments and knows eachlike the back of her hand. “Working with theanimals you get to know them. They eachhave their own personalities.”

Yes, the keepers get attached to animals; butmuch like a mother who refuses to name afavorite child. Fleuchaus said she has nofavorites, although she speaks in a differenttone when talking about the wolves, the polarbears and the tree kangaroos. “The polar bearsare the only bears we see year round. The otherbears hibernate from Thanksgiving to aroundMarch.” A tree kangaroo joey has just startedto poke its head out of its mother’s pouch.“That’s a rare animal that we have had luckbreeding here. Now I’ll get the opportunity towatch it grow up.”

Unlike practices up to the mid-20th centu-ry, zoos rarely obtain animals from the wild.Most animal acquisitions come from other zooswhere animals have been bred. Zoos are care-ful about breeding practices and have a missionof conservation of species with an awareness oftheir value to the environment and society.

Fleuchaus is involved in training wolvesand making decisions on habitat changes. Shegives presentations to visitors and does inter-views with the media about zoo events. She isalso on the zoo’s weapons team.

If an animal escapes its habitat -- a highlyunlikely occurrence, a decision is made basedon the animal’s behavior either to dart andtranquilize or to shoot to kill.

Watching old and sick animals is hard,Fleuchaus said. “They die and that’s a very sadpart of it.” She works with the wolves everyday; there are some that have been there aslong as she has. “We had five and now we havethree. Their deaths were really hard for me.You come to know the animals and becomeattached.”

She splits her time between the NorthAmerican habitats that house wolves, elk, cari-bou, badgers, seals and bears -- grizzly, polar,black and brown, and the Australian habitatsthat include tree kangaroos, red kangaroos,emus and the inhabitants of a corral reef exhib-it, but it seems no job can escape paperwork.

Vera Westphal, Deputy director incharge of administration and finance.

Vehicle machine operator, Bo Kueny.


Fleuchaus has an office with a cacopho-ny of squawking, growling and snorting --but not from coworkers. She keeps dietary,medication and behavioral logs, chartsenrichment programs and orders food viaher computer. Zookeepers not only givedaily medications, they observe if the med-ications have been consumed, spit out orleft behind in uneaten food.

Fleuchaus, her husband, Larry, and theirthree-year-old daughter, Brooklyn, sharetheir home with a dog, a cat and a skink,which is on loan from the zoo. She is alsocurrently snake-sitting a 67 foot-long boaconstrictor for a friend -- presumably a goodfriend.

By the end of the day, Fleuchaus andSchnell are dirty, sometimes wet and usual-ly smelly. They are not the stars of the show,but the show could not go on without them.They are ambassadors, trainers, caregiversand observers of wild animals. For them, it isa labor of love.

VVeerraa WWeessttpphhaallWestphal, 46, has worked for the county

for 25 years, the last seven years at the zoo.“As a budget analyst, the zoo was part of myjob,” she said. But when the position ofdeputy director in charge of administrationand finance opened up, she applied. “I wasso excited about being on the zoo staff.”

Westphal oversees an annual budget of$25 million, the communications area,human resources, as well as accounts receiv-able and payable. And yes, there are itemsin the budget not typically seen by mostfinance people -- like lizards and bugs. “Wespend $600,000 a year on food for the ani-mals.”

She has always loved animals and hasfond childhood memories of the zoo. “Iloved the train and Samson,” she said of thefamed gorilla who died at the zoo in 1981.

She’s proud to take part in the zoo’s mis-sion of conservation, research and educa-tion. “We have a species survival plan toensure overbreeding does not occur.”

Westphal started her county career as aseasonal worker at Noyes Pool. “I was a poolpark attendant. I checked swimmers’ feetbefore they went into the pool.” She hascome along way, and admits it’s a lovelybenefit to be able to clear her head of num-bers and spreadsheets and go see the ani-mals. “I got to touch an octopus the otherday.”

Westphal lives in Wauwatosa with herhusband, Joe, daughter, Samantha, 15, andson, Ryan, 8. She loves to be a zoo visitor,too. “My kids like to come. It’s good for meto see the zoo through their eyes, but I’malways seeing things that should be done orchanged.”

With the county’s fiscal constraints,Westphal’s job becomes tougher to do morewith less. “We are always striving to providea good quality experience for our visitors.”

MMaarrggaarreett MMiicchhaaeellss Michaels finished doing a blood draw on

a turtle and a work-up on a gecko. As a vet-erinarian technician, she works on animalsbig and small in the zoo’s hospital. In 25years, she has treated every type of animal atthe zoo. “Yes, they are very pat-able,” shesaid when asked about the big, furry cats.Easy to do when they are sedated.

“Because there is a 30-day quarantineperiod for new animals, nearly all the ani-mals have to come through the hospitalbefore they go into the zoo population. SoI’ve probably seen thousands of animals.”

Originally from Minnesota, she attendedSt. Cloud State University and the MedicalInstitute of Minnesota. “At the time therewas no such program that focused on exoticanimals or zoo medicine. I did my internshiphere where I learned to treat exotics. I’vebeen here ever since.”

At 49, she works with two full-time vet-erinarians and a veterinarian resident. Herjob rotates between doing lab work -- blooddraws, collecting fecal matter and skin sam-ples -- and inspecting for parasites, orderingdrugs, working on special projects and assist-ing in surgeries. “The animals have enrich-ment activities and items that simulate anatural environment. They get fantasticcare here.” At the zoo, animals live longlives, dying of old age not from predators --natural or otherwise.

Michaels had the opportunity to beinvolved in the zoo’s penguin project from1991 to 2002. “For two-to-three weeks at atime, I worked in Chile gathering data onthe birds -- tracking their habitat and theirreproductions, feeding and nesting habits. Itwas an amazing experience.”

After all these years, Michaels still stopsand marvels, “How cool is this? We care fortheir welfare. They are ambassadors of theirspecies.”

Michaels and husband Bob have twoLabrador Retrievers and two horses.

BBoo KKuueennyyKueny is the only woman vehicle

machine operator at the zoo. She onceasked her boss why there were no otherwomen VMOs. His response: “Not manywomen want to suck up poop for a living.”

At 56, Kueny runs a Vac All -- amachine that, yes, vacuums animal wastefrom 10 foot-deep pits at the habitats. Thisis not a job she settled for; it’s one she loves.

She starts her day at 5 a.m. “It’s quiet.I’ve seen things driving through the zoo --like a bald eagle flying over the lake.Driving down Small Mammal Hill on thefirst snow of the season with the black treesagainst the brilliant white is gorgeous.” Shehas also seen a giraffe being born.

With good grades, Kueny earned a nurs-ing degree. At 27, she was diagnosed withdyslexia and had to figure out a new path.

In 1996, she started at the zoo in themaintenance department. One day, a super-visor asked his crew to assess a piece ofequipment for a shot at being a heavy equip-ment operator. She was left out of theprocess -- until she spoke up. “It’s seen asmore a man’s job.” In 2000, Kueny becamethe first, and is still the only, female heavyequipment operator at the zoo.

Kueny’s job varies from day to day. She’sinvolved in the transport of sedated ani-mals. She moves trees and other items with-in exhibits. “There is something different todo every day.” But really, Kueny is an experton animal waste. She can tell the differencebetween pachyderm, giraffe, camel and cowpoop. “There are seasonal challenges, too.In the winter, you’re dealing with frozenwaste. Wet weather affects things, too.” Shewears ear and eye protection, sometimes amask and lots of layers of clothing.

Not all animal waste is the same. She iscareful not to mix bear and cat waste in withthe other animal population’s waste. Bearsand cats eat meat. Their waste can’t be recy-cled as manure.

“I have a lot of respect for zookeepers --caring for the animals,” she said. “When wehave to move a euthanized animal, we do itwith respect and honor.”

Kueny and her husband, Brian, are par-ents of two adult children, Sarah Jane andSean. They also have two dogs, two cats anda bunny.

I had this terrible pain in my back and after a chest x-ray, we found out why—I had a large mass in my upper right lung.

The local thoracic surgeon wouldn’t be able to see me for three weeks. My wife knew time wasn’t on our side, so she took me to Cancer Treatment Centers of America® (CTCA).

When I walked in, I was still in the dark, not sure what was going to happen. Then my team got to work. They showed me the tumor, created a plan of attack and I started my chemo treatment by the end of the week.

I had stage 3 lung cancer, and the tumor was close to my spinal cord, so surgery wasn’t an option. But my doctors gave me more options, and I was treated with TomoTherapy.®

This state-of-the-art radiation therapy can be used to treat some hard-to-reach tumors without damaging the healthy tissues around the tumor. Today, my scans are clear and I’m enjoying life.

an you die of a broken heart? Sherri Hansen, MD, apsychiatrist at Capitol Associates of Madison, saysthere is clinical evidence to support this euphemism.

Research indicates there may be a strong relation-ship between depression and cardiovascular disease.But so far, it’s “a bit of a chicken and the egg thing,”

Dr. Hansen says. It’s possible depression directly causes heart diseaseand poor outcomes; or perhaps, it’s the behaviors associated withdepression that impact cardiac health or that people might becomedepressed as a reaction to heart disease. Most likely all three of theseare factors.

Much data is emerging about the role of depression and anxietydisorders in cardiovascular disease, but few studies have examinedthis link in women. Here’s what we do know:

n Heart disease is the leading cause of death in women in theU.S.

nMajor depression in both men and women with a recent heartattack or unstable angina more than doubles the risk of cardiacdeath.

nWomen are diagnosed with depression, anxiety and mood dis-orders twice as frequently as men.

“Depression prolongs a state of chronic stress on our bodies, withprofound physiological effects on the heart,” Dr. Hansen said.“Depression could be just as significant an independent risk factorfor heart disease in women as obesity.”

Chronic stress floods the body with stress hormones such as cor-tisol and adrenaline and it reduces the “feel-good” hormone sero-tonin. Dr. Hansen explained that chronic stress could also lead tomany risk factors for cardiac disease, such as diabetes, high choles-terol and high blood pressure. In addition, stress increases the heartrate and blood pressure, reduces blood flow to the heart and can trig-ger blockages in the arteries. Behaviors associated with depressionalso increase the risk for heart disease and the likelihood of pooroutcomes. Studies have shown that people with depression are lesslikely to take prescribed medications and follow lifestyle recommen-dations regarding diet, exercise, smoking cessation and alcohol con-sumption.

“You won’t deal as well with heart disease if you are depressed,”Dr. Hansen told me. “Heart disease requires careful self-manage-ment, such as cutting back on salt and fat and following a strictmedication and exercise regimen. People with depression oftendon’t feel the motivation.”

And, of course, many people become depressed following a diag-nosis of cardiac disease or a major cardiac event – making a fullrecovery less likely. Dr. Hansen says this is especially true of women.She believes it is because women have less social support. Womentend to be the family caregivers, with no one to care for them phys-ically and emotionally when they are ill.

We can reduce our risk of cardiac disease through all the stuff wealready know: don’t smoke, get plenty of exercise and eat well. AndDr. Hansen says it is vital for us women to reduce our risk of depres-sion. Research shows that chronic emotional stress is one of themost potent triggers of depression. Thus, Dr. Hansen urges us to rec-ognize and control the stress in our lives. We need to understand ourlimits, learn to delegate or just plain say no, and we need to put our-selves in control of our lives instead of letting our lives control us.She encourages us to empower ourselves with strong, nurturing rela-tionships. Because an unhappy marriage is the number one triggerfor depression in women, Dr. Hansen emphasizes that women whoare having marital problems should find a marriage counselor andseek other emotional support.

Take your stress to heart…literally. Use this glorious time of yearto incorporate new lifestyle habits and stress-reduction techniques.

Because it all begins with a healthy woman…

id you know about one half of the United States pop-ulation suffers from either spider or varicose veins?Varicose veins, in particular, are usually caused bypregnancy, standing long periods of time or are aresult of genetics. In other words, if your parents had

them (mom or dad, as men can develop them as well), there is agreater risk of you developing them.

Varicose VeinsBasically, varicose veins are the swollen, dark blue or purple

blood vessels that can be seen and felt beneath the skin, usuallyon the calves, inside the legs and ankles. They often look liketwisted cords and are caused by dysfunctional valves so the blooddoesn’t travel through the veins properly resulting in blood pool-ing in the veins causing the veins to look thick and firm.

And while many people think of varicose veins as just a cos-metic issue, Dr. Mike Phillips, a board-certified general and vas-cular surgeon at Lumiere Vein and Laser Center with 20 years ofexperience, says that if you have varicose veins, don’t delay get-ting them treated. “Varicose veins are often associated with othercomplications such as swelling, fatigue, itching, cramps and pain,”says Dr. Phillips. “In some cases, more significant problems candevelop if varicose veins are left untreated, including venous skinulcers, which develop on the skin after the blood vessels in the legand the surrounding tissue break down leaving a visible ulcer onthe skin.”

In the past, the only treatment for varicose veins was vein-stripping surgery, which caused multiple scares on the legs. Today,vein specialists, like Dr. Phillips, use endovenous laser therapy,EVLT, in an office setting. The whole procedure usually takesabout a half hour.

BY CYNDI STRAYER

Varicose Veinsare not just a cosmetic issue

D

After applying a small amount of local anesthetic to the area,your doctor would then insert a laser fiber into the problem areaof the vein. The laser energy is then used to close the vein so thatthe blood can no longer flow through. The blood in the vein isthen diverted to normal, functional veins. This increases circula-tion and relieves varicose vein symptoms.

EVLT is both easy and effective. And according to Dr. Phillips,“These treatments are virtually painless and patients can return tonear normal activity the same day or the following day.”

It should also be noted that because varicose veins can havesome very serious medical complications, most insurance compa-nies cover treatment for them. Dr. Phillips said that at LumiereVein and Laser Center the staff would assist the patients in gettinginsurance approval.

Spider VeinsThere is a difference between spider veins and varicose veins.

While varicose veins are large and puffy veins, spider veins tend tobe flat and typically are squiggly, dark lines that look like legs of aspider.

In the past, spider veins were treated by injecting them with acaustic substance that could cause pain and was evasive. Today,laser treatments are available.

During the treatment, light energy is pulsed onto the veins,which causes the vein to shrink and disappear. This non-invasivetreatment usually takes place in an office setting in less than 20minutes.

If you are concerned about your varicose or spider veins, con-tact a vascular specialist and review your options. Dr. Phillips said,“Consultations are always free at Lumiere Vein and Laser Center.And we treat all aspects of venous disease, whether it is cosmeticor medical vein disease.”

WAYS TO PROTECT YOURSELF ANDYOUR FAMILY FROM SKIN CANCERThe Skin Cancer Foundation recommends using a sunscreen

with an SPF of 15 or higher every day as one important part ofa complete sun protection regimen. However, sunscreen aloneis not enough. You should also:

· Seek the shade, especially between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m.· Avoid getting sunburn.· Avoid tanning and UV tanning booths.· Apply one ounce (two tablespoons) of sunscreen to your entire body 30 minutes before going outside. Also, be sure to reapply every two hours, especially after heavy sweating and being in water.· Cover up with clothing, including a broad-brimmed hat and UV-blocking sunglasses.

Covering the Cost of Cancer Care

ummer is the time of year when most of uslike to get outside and have some fun. It isa time to go to the pool, visit the beach,enjoy a picnic in the country, go play at thepark or attend a backyard barbecue. It is

also a time to protect our skin and hair from the sum-mer heat and the sun’s harmful rays.

YOUR SKINOne challenge for your skin during the summer is

keeping it clean. Because you are outside more, youare exposing your skin to more wind, sun and dirt. Youare also sweating more due to the summer sun.Therefore, try to wash your face two-to-four times aday and shower daily.

While discussing skin cleansing, licensed aesthi-cian, Jenny Megal, from Anew Skin and Wellnessadded, “Whereas in the winter you may use a creami-er cleanser to hydrate your skin; in the summer usinga cleanser with natural enzymes or fruit acids clearsyour skin of impurities and oil, but also keeps it light-ly exfoliated and glowing.”

Also, just because your skin may feel less dry thanin winter, this doesn’t mean you should stop usingmoisturizers. You will still need to moisturize your skinboth day and night. During the day, make sure yourmoisturizer has SPF protection to protect your skinfrom too much exposure to ultraviolet rays, which can

result in minor burns, premature signs of aging (wrinkles, age spotsand blotchiness) and even skin cancer.

As Amy Schoenholtz at Anew Skin and Wellness said, “Honestly,your skin care regime isn’t going to change all that dramatically whengoing from winter to summer, but there are a few things you need tobe aware of. For instance, you want to make sure you wear a broadspectrum SPF 25 or higher all year round, but in the summer monthsand being in the sun’s rays, you want to make sure you reapply everythree hours. If you have oily skin, you can find daily moisturizers withan SPF as well as mattifying ingredients to stop the shine.”

Protecting your skin also means protecting your lips. Be sure towear a lip balm with a SPF as well. Your lips also need to be protect-ed from the wind, sun and skin cancer.

Joanne Kennedy, nurse practitioner at Anew Skin and Wellness,added, “If you are using products with active ingredients for issuessuch as acne or hyper pigmentation, you need to be much more care-ful in the summer months. The sun’s rays can activate certain ingre-dients that can then irritate or even burn your skin, causing unneces-sary damage.” This is true of some medications you may be taking aswell, so check with your doctor or pharmacist.

One other way you can keep your skin healthy this summer, is tomake sure you drink plenty of water. Water keeps the skin and bodyhydrating. This is extremely important in the hot summer sun.

If you plan to wear makeup during the summer months, use this asan opportunity to try new cosmetics that are usually too light for thewinter months, such as shimmers and pinks. You may also want totrade your liquid foundation for a mineral-based powder, switch towaterproof mascara for streak-free summer fun and use tinted glossinstead of your regular lipstick.

Mineral makeup has other benefits as well. “If you have overex-posed your skin too much and are experiencing sensitivity,” saysMegal, “such mineral makeup brands like Jane Iredale will not onlysoothe your skin and even out your tone, it also a has a natural SPFincorporated for extra protection.”

YOUR HAIRThe summer hair can also make your hair look dry and frizzy.

Therefore, you will want to protect your hair with an ample supply ofmoisturizing shampoos and conditioners that will protect your hair.You may even try a shampoo with SPF protection or a quality spray-on UV protectant.

To give your hair a healthy start, prepare your hair for summer bymaking an appointment at the salon and get a fresh trim or cut. Thiswill make your hair easier to manage once you get rid of those peskysplit ends.

While you will probably want to wash your hair more due to theincrease of sweat and summer grime, too much washing can damagethe cuticles of the hair. To protect your hair from cuticle damage, usea leave-in conditioner, designed to provide moisture and nutrition toyour hair.

You can also help your hair by putting the blow dryer away for thesummer. Using a blow dryer daily, especially when combined with thesun’s rays, is a quick way to fry your hair. The same goes for the useof other heated styling tools as well.

Also consider protecting your hair by wearing a light scarf, a capor a hat whenever you go out in the sun. This can protect your hairfrom direct sunlight and your scalp from UV rays.

Be Inspired,THEN GET DETERMINED!

nspiration is like the ignition in your car: essential to getstarted and insufficient on its own to take you where youwant to go.

Inspiration comes in all forms; when you become aware ofit, you’ll find it is everywhere! Some of my favorites include

double rainbows, intense thunder storms, a perfectly made veggieomelet, certain types of music, sudden laughter and, of course, thestories of unlikely success against nearly impossible odds, like thisyear’s Kentucky Derby winner, I’ll Have Another.

It feels good to be inspired, especially when inspiration takesyou by surprise. A sudden burst of goodness in your life makes youyearn to do the things you know you could if you put your mind toit.

And there’s the rub. Who hastime to put your mind to a dreamthat lingers in your heart? Whenthere is nothing spectacularly wrongwith your life, it is hard to catapultyourself into something much moreexciting. The drip, drip, drip of dailydemands can suffocate that spark ofinspiration that had you so fired upjust a couple of days ago.

If inspiration is ignition, thendetermination is like the rest of yourcar’s systems—the engine, gears, brakes and everything else underthe hood. These systems take you where you want to go, oftenwithout you having to think much about it. Determination iswhat makes dreams come true because it clicks ideas into gear.

Determination involves making a conscious decision to followthrough on your excitement by creating a roadmap, putting a sys-tem in place to check your progress and finding little ways toreward yourself as you navigate toward your dream.

Determination doesn’t care if your energy level is low today. Itdoesn’t pay any attention to whether other people notice youworking hard on your goal. It doesn’t check the weather or yourhoroscope, and it doesn’t care if you’re struggling with a bad hairday.

Determination is about doing what you said you wanted to do.It consists of baby steps taken every day that move you closer tothat thing you yearn for. Determination draws on inspiration anddeepens it to help you create the life you truly want.

When you lay out a plan to move forward and keep track of thethings you do along the way, you create your own inspiration.

Watching yourself succeed is one of the surest ways to fuelmomentum. Anyone who has ever been on a diet—and whoamong us hasn’t—knows this. When you look outrageously gor-geous for that big party, you feel great. Nobody knows the tedioushours you spent adjusting your foods, working your body and stay-ing on course. But you do. That’s powerful. It is what inspiring sto-ries are made of!

I will admit that determination is tough to hold onto in ourhyperactive always-on world. It’s hard to ignore the onslaught ofnew information coming at you from all directions. It is difficult topurposely ignore things that have no bearing on your goal—wholikes to feel uninformed? It is also difficult to turn down an invita-tion to hang out with friends or attend a meeting that might hold

something of value. All these distractions

form innocent little cracksthrough which determina-tion seeps away. When it isgone, you feel sad. Or per-haps, you feel disappoint-ed. Maybe you are evenangry with yourself for notfollowing through on yourplan?

Here’s an invisible truthabout life. Every day you amass evidence that tells you somethingabout yourself. This evidence—from promises kept or broken tohow you perform, impressions you create and things you accom-plish—will cause you to give yourself a thumb’s up, a shrug or a sadshake of the head. Think about that for a minute. Why wouldn’tyou find as many ways as you can to create positive evidence ofyour capability and accomplishment?

Take time this month to be purposely inspired; then capturethat energy with a plan to fuel your determination. And don’t for-get to pause once in a while to celebrate what you have alreadyachieved. You are one inspiring woman.

ver grabbed a designer dress out ofyour mom's closet? Tossed on oneof her cashmere sweaters? Or bor-rowed a treasured Chanel hand-

bag? Chances are many of us do occasion-ally share in some of our mother's morestylish moments, but the reality of it is thatmore often than not, we each have ourown sense of fashion that is very differentthan the older generation. Rememberthose days of matching "mother-daughter"dresses? Yes, we were too young to protest!

But as today's fashion rules blur moreand more, the distinction between theways moms and daughters dress can also geta little hazy. And that's a good thing.Nobody wants to look "old" no matterwhat their age. However, there are stillsome fashion mistakes that many momsmake. Here are just a few "mom mantras"to keep in mind when you get dressed everymorning (and even if you're not a mom...):

aYou don't need to have a perfectbody. Forget the photos of the models inyour favorite magazine. And you might aswell forget the size you were 20 years ago.Dress for the body you have now. Chancesare your daughter's jeans will not fit you,and if they do, great. Don't even thinkabout baring it all in her bikini top anddenim mini. The same goes for her super-tight T-shirts or super-high sandals. We'veall learned a few things about comfort bynow. Remember the key is to know whatlooks best on your unique shape and usethat to your advantage.

a It's not about the budget. Let's hopeyou know by now that money can't buystyle. Instead, it's more about how you puttogether your clothes than what you paidfor them. And there are plenty of storesand websites now that offer less expensivealternatives to designer prices. Combining"high-end" pieces with budget buys is agreat way to make your wardrobe go furtherand is a very modern way to dress.

a Keep up with the trends. No, youdon't have to embrace neon-cropped topsor feathered mini skirts to keep up with thelatest looks. But it is important to give yourwardrobe some fresh touches. It's easy to dowithout going overboard. Take some cuesfrom the young people around you -- buy apair of brightly colored pants to wear withyour traditional cardigan sweaters and tanktops; indulge in floral prints by donning amaxi dress for your next pool party.Colorful accessories are great ways to bringsome youthful style into your life.

a Don't get stuck in a time warp. (Seeabove!) If you've worn your hair the sameway you did in high school, it's time toupdate. Ditto for makeup. There are plen-ty of beauty experts available to help steeryou into a new you. A new shade of nailpolish can do wonders.

a Remember there are some new rules.No, your shoes and handbags do not haveto match anymore. You can wear whiteanytime of year. Pantyhose are an option,not a must. But please don't wear themwith open-toe shoes. Mixing two or even

three different prints is also chic. So is mix-ing colors that clash. And you can wearblack to a wedding.

a And then there are the fashion fauxpas that are true for moms and their daugh-ters: wet, see-through clothes, too shortshorts, orange fake tans and all things visi-ble: thongs, erratic lip liner and pantylines. And oh, yes, don't forget moms, themuffin tops and the "mom" jeans, ofcourse.

This season, the brightly-colored pants and jeans likethese from Banana Republic's "Mad Men" collectionare easily incorporated into a stylish wardrobe for

both moms and their daughters.(www.bananarepublic.com)

Again this summer, Neroli Salon and Spa will offer “Yoga inthe Park” at the Bayshore Town Center. This complimentary yogaclass meets on Saturday mornings from 8:00-9:30 a.m. throughLabor Day.

“These 90 minute classes have been available to our neighborsand community for nearly five years,” said owner Susan Haise.The classes meet outside in the square when the weather is nice,but move inside to the rotunda when it is raining.

“Jason, our yoga instructor, leads a beautiful class of strengthyoga,” says Haise. And according to her, 50-80 people attend thesesessions every Saturday.

Haise recommends that should you attend one or more of these“Yoga in the Park” sessions, “be sure to go at your own pace anddon’t overdo it. It is all about breathing and taking time for you.”

Time is a precious commodity. That’s why Neroli Salon andSpa gives their guests the best use of their time every day by offer-ing spa lunches and multiple services in one visit. For example, thesalon offers a manicure and/or pedicure while you get a facial.Another wonderful service Neroli offers for brides and other spe-cial occasions is airbrushed makeup. “Nothing is better forlongevity,” says Haise.

Neroli began in downtown Milwaukee in 1993 in the Historic3rd Ward. When it began it was known as The Skin Institute andDay Spa, which today is the head company of both Neroli Salonand Spa and The Institute of Beauty and Wellness.

The Neroli Salon and Spa at Bayshore Town Center is a full-service Aveda salon, meaning it only uses Aveda hair care, skincare, makeup and spa and body products. These products are usedby highly-skilled and trained stylists, colorists, massage therapists,nail technicians and aestheticians.

“Our staff is crazy passionate seven days a week. Each memberof the staff strives to give each client the perfect experience,” saysHaise. It is because of this that it is not surprising that Neroli hasbeen recognized as one of the best salons and spas in Milwaukee.

“Your salon and spa experience is all about healing, wellnessand feeling good about who you are.” Make your appointmenttoday and don’t forget to ask about our client membership.

Look for the launch of Neroli’s 20th Anniversary this fall.

TR AV E L I N Gwith Kids Can Be a Good Experience with Some Planning

PLAN AHEAD

TRAVEL WHEN CHILDREN SLEEPAs a mother of two, who often traveled

with my children on my own, I found that ifI could plan some of my travel times either

around their naps or bedtime, the trip wasmuch easier for all. One important rule ifyour do this though, is never stop the carwhile the child or children are sleepingbecause this will wake them. Also, if youplan to travel at night while your childrenare sleeping, make sure you are not too tiredto drive late at night.

STOP AT REGULAR INTERVALSThe beauty of a road trip is that you can

pull over and get out. If you have a youngchild or one that is simply getting very antsy,stop the car some place and have some fun.

If you're traveling with toddlers andyounger kids, why not play a quick game oftag at a park or stop and explore a "roadsideattraction." There are lots of ways to breakup a drive without losing more than an hour.You may even want to check the Internetfor playgrounds, parks and other attractionsbefore you begin your trip.

Whatever your summer vacation plans may be, travelingthose long miles in the car can be exhausting for everyone.However, with some careful planning you can make this agood experience no matter what ages your children are.


week before your departure, listeverything you'll need to take andstart gathering it together. Then,be sure to give yourself enoughtime to pack your itemized list. A

DIVVY UP THE DRIVER/SOCIAL DIRECTOR TASKS If you're traveling with another adult, while one person drives, the

other can be in charge of snack distribution, storytelling and toy rota-tion. If you have space, the kids love having a grown-up sit with themfor a while in the backseat.

DON’T FORGET THE SNACKSTo keep children happy on a long trip, be sure to keep drinks and

snacks on hand. Favorite treats that travel well: string cheese, rice cakes,pretzels, bagels, sandwiches, apple slices, bananas, granola bars, cookies,raisins, cereal-Os and puffed corn snacks.

THE ENTERTAINMENTIf you are traveling with a baby, bring along an activity mat or other

travel-friendly toy. Babies this age can't see much out of the window,and you can't blame your child for getting bored and fussy if there'snothing to look at. You could also try reading aloud from a picture orboard book.

For toddlers, you may want to consider an introduction to audiobooks or CDs. And, of course, recordings from popular TV shows suchas Sesame Street and Dora the Explorer will also do the trick.

Some other activities that work well for toddlers include stickerbooks, magnetic storyboards, Magna Doodle drawing boards and othersimple toys that don't involve lots of small pieces or make a gooey mess.Throw in a cheap 9-by-12-inch baking sheet for each child to use as aplaying surface so crayons and Matchbox cars and Legos don't roll andslide away.

If your children are older, audio books, CDs or MP3 players withheadphones are an options as well as a DVD player. With the older kids,you may choose things the whole family may like, such as the audiobook of Harry Potter.

Games are another great way to keep older kids entertained.Nowadays, you can find a travel version of almost every popular game,from Scrabble to Battleship. Or for many kids today, they have gamesfor their Nintendo DS or iPods.

A trip notebook can also be a great way to keep kids busy and cap-ture memories of your family trip. Give each child a notebook and wash-able crayons or markers. You could even bring along a camera andportable printer as well as some glue sticks: The kids can print and pastephotos on the drive, then add notes later.

Most important, the secret to a great road trip is getting there safelyand still on speaking terms. If you arrive at your destination an hour ortwo later than planned, big deal – chances are you had a few memorableadventures along the way.

Some other things you may want to consider bringing to make yourtrip easier might be:

• A portable potty and TP, especially if you have very young chil-dren. There isn’t always a bathroom around when needed.

• Pillows. It comforts kids to have their own and they make thebackseat much more comfy.

• A plastic bucket – for carsick emergencies. Nothing else needs tobe said about this one.

• Peppermints, ginger ale and saltines. These natural motion sick-ness remedies tame tumultuous tummies.

• A ball to throw or kick at rest stops. • Plastic zip bags to hold everything from errant game pieces to

crayons or leftover snacks. • A nightlight. Hotel rooms or relatives' houses can be very dark at

night.

hen we talk about animalcruelty, it's typically in thecontext of humans abus-ing animals physically oremotionally -- hitting an

animal, starving an animal, neglecting ananimal. But there is another kind of cruel-ty, one in which humans allow or evenencourage one animal to abuse another.Dogfighting is a particularly sadistic ver-sion of this. Here's a version that hits clos-er to home:

We have two female Shih Tzus, and webrought both of them home at eight weeksold. Over the past few months, Sadie, whois now four, has become aggressive towardPrecious. This started when our grandsonwas born, but over the past couple ofmonths, it's been getting worse. We neverknow when she will attack. Precious couldbe napping or just walking by, and Sadieattacks.

In Sadie's defense, Precious does try totake her food, and we have to standbetween them when giving them snacks.But outside of that, Sadie seems to snap forno reason.

Yesterday, we had to separate Sadie fromPrecious and the rest of the family becauseshe would not stop growling and chargingferociously at Precious. We had to keep herin the laundry room all night. Sadie oncebit Precious in the eye and caused some

damage. Our vet was able to take care ofher, but later, Sadie bit her again in thesame eye, causing additional injury.

I just don't know what to do. It's gettingout of control. We have tried throwingcold water on them, but it doesn't work.She will not listen to us.

Female dogs follow a pattern similar tohuman sisters. They play well togetherwhen they're little -- and they want to killeach other when they grow up. At least fora while.

The difference is that human impulses,for the most part, are mitigated by ourcapacity for empathy and our understand-ing -- or fear -- of consequences. Dogsaren't bridled by such things. And thisseems particularly true of female dogs inrelation to other female dogs.

I've said it before, and I'll say it again: Ifyou're going to get two dogs, your best pair-ing is one male and one female; next best istwo males; last resort is two females.

But whatever the pairing, if one dog ishurting the other, they must be separated -- permanently. It is cruel and unfair to sub-ject the one to the ongoing torture and tor-ment of the other. In allowing injury afterinjury, dogfight after dogfight, we are asguilty of animal cruelty as if we personallybloodied a dog.

In this case, the two lady Shih Tzus donot get along. They will not grow out of it.It will continue to get worse. And the fact

that they are small is irrelevant. Size does-n't matter with aggression. An eye is aneye.

As dog owners, we have a duty to pro-tect our dogs, even from each other. We areresponsible for their well-being, their safe-keeping, their happiness and their lives. Ifthe owner cares for Precious, she will find anew home for one of her dogs.

She is a practicing orthopaedicsurgeon, a wife and a mother who has experienced joy as well as greatsorrow and death. She experienced life after death and, despite herscientific training, she believes the answer to each one of these questionsis a definitive yes. She drowned on a South American river and went toHeaven. She conversed with angels. She returned to Earth, in part, to tellher story to others and help them find their way back to God. In thisbook, Dr. Neal shares the captivating details of her life in which she hasexperienced not just one miracle, but many. Her story is both compellingand thought provoking. Her experiences provide confirmation thatmiracles still occur, shows how God keeps His promises and why thereis sufficient reason to live by faith. Dr. Neal's message is fundamentallyone of hope.
