Diet and
exercise
hile enjoying too much food and beverage with friends at my
20-year class reunion, I couldn’t help but overhear a conversation between my buddy Jared and a few female classmates.
“How do you stay so skinny, Jared?” they asked of my 6-foot, 140pound friend. With a cigarette in one hand and a cheeseburger in the
other, he confidently proclaimed, “It’s all diet and exercise, ladies. Diet
and exercise.”
Well despite his smoking and diet choices,
Jared appears to be in great health. But as
he would truthfully admit, looks can be
deceiving. Jared, with his full head of hair
and wrinkle-free smile, has the fortune of
good genes with parents as slender and
healthy looking as he is, but underlying
health problems can trouble us all.
We have not all been so fortunate. I am
keenly aware of my family history of medical problems, and I know that I must work
harder to avoid the same. Unfortunately,
that has proven to be easier said than done.
Each year brings a new health challenge, but I continue to seek out ways
to live a healthier lifestyle. My struggle is to remain consistent. Over the
past few decades, each new year has brought with it a few more pounds,
and that has started to take its toll on my body. What I learned is that
the treadmill, exercise bike and weight machines don’t do me much good
if I continue to eat all the high-calorie foods that I love.
In this month’s cover story, we share healthy ideas and success
stories from local residents and experts to help us all achieve our 2012
fitness goals, whatever they might be.
As much as I hate to admit it, Jared was right about one thing: it
really is about diet AND exercise.
Thanks for reading. Q

Healthy
Habits
LOCAL EXPERTS SHARE TIPS
FOR A HEALTHIER, HAPPIER YOU
By Lori Berglund
ome people spend a lifetime trying to
break a bad habit. Maybe it’s reaching
for the salt shaker too often, sipping soft
drinks like they’re going out of style, hitting the
sofa for a night of channel surfing after a long
day of sitting at a desk, or one of the toughest
habits to kick of all — smoking.
S
But perhaps trying to kick a habit is the
wrong mindset.
Perhaps, just perhaps, instead of trying to
stop doing all the things we know we shouldn’t
be doing, the secret is in crowding out those
bad habits with a wealth of good habits to last
for a long, healthy lifetime.
In Boone County, the answer is unanimous when health professionals from varied
backgrounds and services were asked for one
— just one — “Healthy Habit” they would like
to see fostered among the people they serve in
2012.
Be more active
In fact, if you’re sitting down to read this, you
can start right there. Move away from the easy
chair, take a load off your back side, stand with
your feet shoulder-width apart, don’t lock your
knees, take a deep breath (you feel more alert
already, don’t you) and continue reading, satisfied in the knowledge that just standing burns
three times as many calories as sitting.
There, you’ve done one good thing for
yourself already. And one good thing tends to
build on another… and another.
Connie Buss, dietician with Boone County Hospital, encourages area residents to get moving and eat healthy in order
to shed those stubborn pounds.
Just get moving
“I think that people who incorporate movement into their life are more apt to want to
make changes in other areas of their lives,” says
Connie Buss, Registered Dietician at Boone
County Hospital.
Katie Hagan, R.N., with Boone County
Public Health, and Jen Krakau, fitness expert
at Anytime Fitness, echo that call for area
residents to add more activity into their daily
lives. And they emphasize that no one should
be afraid to start with small, even very small,
steps.
“I would always rather have them do too
little than too much,” says Krakau.
Not surprisingly, Krakau says the New
Year always bring a resurgence of interest in
getting fit. Her goal is to keep people motivated
as the year rolls on.
“They come in and they’re all gung-ho, and
the next day they’re sore,” she notes.
Taking it slow can help keep that motivation burning longer and lead to greater longterm success. Krakau’s favorite form exercise

is one that can be adapted and
utilized for people of any fitness
level.
“My favorite is integral training,” she says.
Integral training mixes time
and intensity of movement and
can grow with a person as he or
she becomes more physically fit.
It’s very popular with those who
exercise often and can help keep
their routines more interesting,
but it also can be easily adapted for
a beginner, whose workout will be
less intense and include a greater
proportion of time in slower, simpler movements.
“Ultimately, my goal is to get
people to challenge themselves,”
Krakau says. But to do that she
says a slow and steady approach
often works best.
“We’ve a sedentary culture
probably more than ever now,”
Jen Krakau works out on the equipment at Anytime Fitness.
and the need to simply start moving is difficult to overemphasize.
Little things add up
In her work as a Licensed Dietician
and Certified Diabetes Educator
for Boone County Hospital, Buss
meets with patients confronting
a myriad of health goals, many of
them connected to the sedentary lifestyle that has practically
become the American norm, especially in the workplace.
Eight hours a day at a desk
takes a real toll on a body, but
Buss has a few tips to get things
moving at work. Each of them is a
good healthy habit to make part of
your life in the New Year:

rolls around, but even possible on

Katie Hagan prepares to give a flu shot to Boone resident Sheryl Thul.
ing break. Odds are most people will be happy
to have someone else helping to motivate them
to be just a little more active.
Buss is a firm believer in the power of
small steps to make a big difference over the
long run. Dividing one large goal into several
smaller, more achievable goals is a recipe for
success.
“Sometimes people come in at 250 or 300
pounds, and they think they have to lose so
much weight,” that it can be overwhelming,
Buss says.
Instead, she encourages them to start by
setting a goal of losing 10 just percent of their
body weight.
“We’re talking only 25 or 30 pounds, and
that can make a health difference,” Buss says.
As for diet, current recommendations call
for a diet rich in fruits and vegetables, low-fat
dairy, whole grains, and lean protein. Buss sees
vitamin supplements as a tool to be employed
as needed, rather than as a replacement for the
foods that provide these essentials naturally.
“I like people to chew. We need to chew;
it’s one of the things our mouth likes to do. If
we’re swallowing vitamins, we’re missing a lot
of good foods that provide fiber, and maybe
even other nutrients that we don’t know much
about yet — and that’s what food is for,” she
says.
The advantage of most fruits and vegetables
is that their bulk helps fill us up more quickly,
but their calorie density is frequently less than
other, less-filling foods.
“We need to get plenty of fruits and vegetables,” Buss says. She recommends filling half
your plate with vegetables, leaving a quarter for
each protein and starch, with a serving of fruit
placed on the side.
Slow down at the table
There are also a great many layman pieces of
advice for eating less and eating well. One of
the most frequently mentioned tips to eating
less is using a smaller plate, but what are some
other ways to eat less and enjoy food more?
By practicing some tactile tips to eating more
slowly, you really may eat less while making it
last longer.
s0UTDOWNTHEFORK"EFOREIMPLEMENTING
this piece of advice, watch other people eat for
a day. Do they eat one bite after another without ever putting down their fork? Many folks
do. Put that fork down and chew!
s#HEWEVERYBITETIMES)TSHARDERTHAN
it sounds, and it really works. This allows you
to savor the taste of every morsel, and even
chewing burns calories.
Combined, these two very simple rules will
put the brakes on your feeding speed, and you
just might savor the flavors even more. Well
practiced, they can have a big impact in eating
less while eating longer, thus giving your stomach time to tell your brain that you’re full.
Roll up and wash up
While diet and exercise are two healthy habits
that receive frequent attention, good health
also requires some basics that often go less
heralded.
One of the most basic, especially during the
cold and flu season, is as simple as the nearest
sink. Hand washing can be the best, cheapest
tool to keep the spread of disease at bay.
And for those who haven’t already done so,
it’s still not too late to get a flu shot, according to Hagan, who oversees the immunizations
program for Boone County Public Health.
But while many adults are great about making sure they get a flu shot each year, there are
other immunizations recommended for adults.
Getting caught up on those, by discussing your
immunization schedule with your family doctor,
can be a great healthy habit for the new year.
The Shingles vaccine, for example is
one that requires a physician’s order. Hagan
acknowledges that it can be one of the more
costly vaccines, but the cost of a bout of
Shingles is far greater.
“The recommendation now is for 50 year
olds and older to be getting the Shingles vaccine,” Hagan notes. “Most of that generation
had Chicken Pox as a child, so they are at risk
for getting Shingles.”
Other vaccines to talk over with your family physician include the Tetanus vaccine, recommended every 10 years, and the Pertusis or
Whooping Cough vaccine, as Iowa has seen a
spike of Whooping Cough in the last few years.
“You want to check with your doctor on
your immunization status; that’s something that
we just don’t think about as adults,” she adds.
Making the rounds
The beginning of a new year is also a good time
to schedule regular appointments with other
health care providers, including eye doctors
and dentists.
As Buss notes, eye and dental care can
frequently be related to overall health and wellbeing, so it’s important to keep up to date on
these appointments.
“They’re seeing some initial moderate
changes with the eyes of people with prediabetes, that they didn’t expect to see in that
group of people,” Buss says.

Linda Turner, with granddaughter Rebecca, and best
friend “Trouble” head out for a walk on a mild winter
day in Boone.
Changes in the retina, for example, can be
expected in a person with diabetes. She advises
anyone who has been given a diagnosis of prediabetes to make sure their eye care provider
is aware of that diagnosis.
Likewise, gums are a foundation of good
health in the body, so keeping up to date on
dental appointments is a healthy habit for all.
“People that have gum disease are at greater risk of heart attacks because the bacteria in
your mouth is so related to the heart.”
Choose your health habits well
Just about everyone has a habit he or she needs
to kick, but this year, challenge yourself to
worry less about your faults and concentrate
more fully on adding some healthy habits into
your daily life.
Taking that first step to better health is as
simple as that — taking the first step. A person
who has gone for even a short walk is less likely
to snack and more likely to choose snacks
wisely.
Choose well. A good habit is hard to break. Q

Barn find
Stoneburner and his dog cruise in a Chevelle
By Lori Berglund
ove me, love my dog —
that’s the adage that legions
of today’s dog lovers live and
love by.
Cory Stoneburner of Boone
can surely add one more line:
“Love me, love my dog, love my
car.”
Together, they make quite a
sight cruising the streets of Boone
on an unusually warm and sunny
January day. With the top down on
Stoneburner’s 1969 Chevelle Super
Sport, Jack would be riding shotgun,
except that he prefers to stretch
out all by himself in the roomy
backseat. After all, a St. Bernard
needs a little more room to stretch
out than the average dog.
A Boone native, Stoneburner
had been out of high school for
only a few years when he bought
the Chevelle 27 years ago.
“It was in very rough shape,”
he recalls, and needed a near total
restoration.
Stoneburner did much of the
work himself, rebuilding the original .396 engine, which, “Yea,” he
agrees, “has a little speed.”
The Chevelle was definitely a
“barn find,” except it was in even
worse shape, having been stored
outside for a number of years.
“It had been sitting underneath
L
a grove of trees and the top had
rotted away,” Stoneburner recalls.
“It had sat under the tree so long
that on the hood there was a leaf
pattern sunburned into it.”
The interior wasn’t much better, filled with a foot of leaves
turning to mulch, as well as ants
and other “critters.”
Today, that’s all history, as
Jack is the only “critter” welcome
in this car, and no one would consider “man’s best friend” a critter.
“This is Jack’s favorite car,
that’s why we got it out today,”
Stoneburner says.
He’s taken several road trips in
the Chevelle, including trips to an
annual car show in Branson, Mo.,
the last few years. Both the car and
the dog are conversation starters
wherever Stoneburner goes.
“People see the dog and then
they smile from ear to ear,” he
says with a grim himself.
Some, of course, don’t quite
understand the bond between a
man, his dog and his car, but that’s
OK with Stoneburner.
“I’ve had some people say,
‘Why are you carrying a dog like
that in a car like this?’ Well, it’s my
car; I can do what I want with it,”
he answers.
Besides, “Jack loves it.” Q

A: Symptoms of Carpal Tunnel Syndrome include weakness in one or
both hands, numbness or tingling in the thumb and next two or three
fingers of the hands, numbness or tingling of the palm of the hand, wrist
or hand pain, impaired coordination of the fingers or weak grip.
Carpal Tunnel Syndrome is the compression of the median nerve at
the wrist, which may result in numbness, tingling, weakness or muscle
atrophy in the hand and fingers. Carpal Tunnel Syndrome is common in
people who perform repetitive motions of the hand and wrist, such as
typing. When the wrist is poorly positioned, there isn’t enough space for
the median nerve to travel to the hand. Carpal Tunnel Syndrome is caused
by pressure exerted on the median nerve at the point where it passes
through the wrist. The nerve enters the hand between the wrist bones
(called the carpal bones) and the tough membrane that holds the bones
together (the transverse carpal ligament). This space is called the carpal
tunnel. Since the passageway is rigid, any swelling in this area can cause
compression of the nerve (this is also called entrapment of the nerve).
Chiropractors work to properly align the carpal bones to maximize
the space within the carpal tunnel, thus removing the pressure from the
median nerve. Why not try a painless, drugless and knifeless treatment
first. Call today to set up your free consultation. Q

Q: The parenting techniques
that worked when my child was
young no longer work for my
teenager. Where can I get help?
A: As children get older, many aspects of their lives change. Parents
gradually become less and less of a focus as adolescence starts. Friends,
the media and peers become a larger influence, and many teens believe
they no longer need direction and guidance from adults. Parents and
other adults continue to be very important in helping their teenagers
make a successful transition into adulthood. Even if it doesn’t seem so to
either the parents or the teens.
Gone are the days of simply saying “no” or “do as I say.” Gone are
the days of just doing it for them. The home can become a battleground
as even the simplest requests turn into debates and arguments.
Teenagers do need to be given a gradual increase in autonomy. They
need to begin to make their own choices and accept responsibility for
their actions. However, they still need boundaries and guidelines set by
their parents. A balance needs to be achieved between teens making
choices for themselves and parents making decisions for them. There
are Websites, books and classes to help parents (and their teens) find
this balance. Local help is available through several agencies as resources
and support for parents of children of all ages. Referrals for additional
support are available at the Boone County Social Services Building (900
W. Third Street, Boone). Q
Information provided by Kathy Pinkerton, Boone County DCAT Coordinator.
health Q&A
Q: Do I have a choice in home
health care providers when
going home from the hospital?
A: Yes. Medicare requires that hospitals provide patients with a choice
of post-hospital providers including home health agencies that can deliver
Medicare services and that serve the area where the patient live. Often
the hospital discharge planner or social worker provides information on
home healthcare options to the patient. Patients should ask the hospital
for a list of home health care agencies in the community in which they
live in so they are aware of all options available to them.
There are many things to consider when choosing a home health
care provider. Does the agency serve my community? For how long?
Who owns the agency? Who are they affiliated with? Is the agency
approved or certified to provide services to Medicare patients? What
kind of training does the agency provide to its caregivers? Does the
agency provide or can they help find other community resources like
home delivered meals, medical equipment, or homemaker services? How
quickly will I be admitted after I get home from the hospital?
If being able to receive the health services you need, in your home,
from the agency you prefer is what you want, then understanding your
options is especially important. Exercise your rights as a patient and a
consumer and when planning your discharge with hospital staff, ask for a
list of providers in your area. Q

Q: What is tinnitus?
A: Simply put, tinnitus is the perception of sound in
the ears or head where no external sound is present.
Some call it “ringing in the ears” or “head noises.”
The condition is pronounced either ti-NIGHT-us or
TIN-i-tus. Both pronunciations are correct.
The sounds may be described by different individuals as ringing, hissing, roaring, whistling, chirping
or clicking. Tinnitus can be intermittent or constant,
and its perceived volume can range from subtle to
shattering.
Fifty-million Americans experience tinnitus to
some degree. Of these, about 16 million have severe enough tinnitus to
seek medical attention.
There is no known cure for tinnitus, and the exact causes of tinnitus
are not known, but there is some speculation that it could be caused
by some of the following: wax buildup, middle ear or sinus infections,
exposure to extreme loud noises, jaw misalignment, thyroid disorders,
head and neck injuries, certain medications and excessive use of alcohol
and aspirin. Noise is in abundance not only in recreational situations
like concerts and sporting events, but many face extreme noise on the
job. Unfortunately, thousands of our military men and women returning
home from combat areas are troubled by ongoing tinnitus.
Some tinnitus sufferers have received some relief from products like
Clear Tinnitus capsules, which contain a unique all-natural proprietary
blend of 13 herbs formulated to work in combination with active homeopathic ingredients to provide temporary relief from tinnitus.

But when my dining companion
and I arrived at the Golden Corral,
I resolved to make choices that
would please both my palate and
my waistline. First off, I hit the tables
heaped high with fresh fruits and
salads. I blended crisp green lettuce
with fresh spinach and topped them
with a generous helping of black
olives and a sprinkling of chopped
hard-boiled eggs. The olives flavored the greens so that I needed
only a tiny drizzle of dressing.
A tomato wedge, broccoli,
cauliflower, grapes, a single scoop
of seafood salad and chunks of the
most delicious cantaloupe I had
had in some time filled the rest of
the plate. I can think of few other
places that serve such a diverse
offering of fruits, veggies and salads. That cantaloupe was like a
slice of a summer afternoon in the
midst of a cold Iowa winter.
I could have stopped there, but
what fun would that be? Besides,
to make this a truly healthy trip I
needed to fill a dinner plate with
equally satisfying and smart choices. Back to the buffet tables I went,
searching out vegetables to fill the
majority of my plate. I heaped on
cooked sliced carrots that were
tender and moist, green beans
that tasted like they came from
Grandma’s garden and a spoonful
of spinach.
That left room for mashed
potatoes and, had I been truly
healthy, I might have skipped the
gravy. But healthy living for a lifetime also means enjoying good
foods in moderation. The gravy is
too good to pass up; I just made
sure I could still see the fluffy
white potatoes underneath that
rich gravy. I also treated myself to
one piece of fried chicken and just
a few, very few, popcorn shrimp.
Oh, they also have dessert —
but what happens at the dessert
bar, stays at the dessert bar. Q
environment
Environmentally
friendly lifestyles
Everyday choices can reduce waste
By Boone County Landfill staff
T
he environment. We all
want to do our part to
protect it and make the
world a better place to live.
Many of us take the time to
divert household items from the
landfill by either participating in a
community curbside recycling collection program or taking materials to the area drop-off recycling
center. While these are commendable activities, there is much more
that we can do every day to
ensure that we make the most of
our natural resources and protect
the environment.
The Boone County Landfill is
the governmental agency responsible for implementing the area’s
comprehensive solid waste management plan. This plan has set
goals for recycling and diverting
of waste within the landfill’s planning area. Although these goals
are ambitious, they are obtainable if we all work together and
commit ourselves to changing our
lifestyles a bit. We need to pay
closer attention to our lifestyles to
make sure that we are living in as
environmentally friendly a fashion
as possible.
One way to help is by making
the effort to keep your disposal
options in mind when you purchase goods. This can truly make a
difference. Listed below are some
shopping and precycling tips:
s "UY RECYCLED Take the
time to check and see if the product you are buying contains any
post-consumer recycled material.
By buying products using recycled materials you help to support
recycling markets, which improve
the value of recyclable materials.
s"UY PRODUCTS THAT ARE
RECYCLABLEINYOURCOMMUNITY
This will reduce what you have to
put in your trash can at home. Be
careful though. Just because an item
states that it is recyclable does not
necessarily mean that it is recyclable in your community’s program.
s!VOID SINGLEUSE DISPOS
ABLEPRODUCTS Whenever possible, either purchase more durable
goods or reuse products you may
have at home.
s"UYINBULK Avoid products
with excess packaging. Single serve
packages use more packaging than
larger bulk items. However, balance this with making sure that
you buy only what you need, especially with perishable products.
s3UPPORT RECYCLING Tell
your store manager that you prefer buying products that are made
with recycled content and/or are
recyclable. Ask him or her to make
every effort to seek out and stock
these types of products. Store
managers welcome this type of
input from customers.
The Boone County Landfill’s
website — www.boonecounty.
iowa.gov/landfill — is an excellent
resource to find answers to your
solid waste management questions. In addition, you can contact
the landfill at 433-0591 to schedule
free group workshops and presentations on the following topics:
On-site yard waste management, precycling, household hazardous wastes, recycling, commercial recycling and many others. Q

Protect your home against winter damages
By Lindsey Stolte, Stolte Insurance
lthough we have had a
very mild winter so far, it
will strike us at some time.
Take this extra time during mild
temperatures to make sure your
home is prepared to stand against
Mother Nature.
Here are some tips to prevent
you from having to call your insurance agent through the winter
season.
s (EATINGSYSTEM After sitting dormant all summer and fall,
it is important to have your heating system inspected prior to the
coldest days of winter. This can
prevent having to call a repair
company on their busiest day of
the year and causing more problems in your home during a heating outage. Spend now and save
money in the long run.
s 0REVENTICEDAMS If there
are areas along your roof that had
significant icicles last year, check
for areas where ice builds up and
try to prevent this from happening
again. When ice damming occurs,
water and ice can build up under
your shingles and against your
fascia and soffit, causing water to
continue to seep into your wall
cavities and water damage to insulation plus the drywall, leading to
other serious issues in your home.
s )NSPECT YOUR ROOF Check
for damaged, missing or unsealed
shingles. Also while on your roof
check for missing, cracked or damaged vent stacks, flashing and other
caulking. Performing the necessary
repairs will prevent melting snow
and ice from penetrating into your
attic leading to water damage and
other problems. This inspection
can also help to increase the lon-

gevity of your roof.
s 7INDOWSDOORS Inspect
your windows and doors and the
caulking that helps to seal them.
Not only can this prevent water
and ice damage but also save you
money on your utility bills. Old
and dried out caulking can cause
water to enter and freeze, which
in turn may cause warping and
permanent damage to windows
and doors.
s 'UTTERS Remove debris
from gutters and downspouts.
When ice and snow do melt, they
will need a clear path to drain off.
Ice dams in gutters can damage
gutters and fascia as well as the
drip edge and shingles along the
eaves. Make sure to divert the
water flow at least three to four
feet away from the house to prevent damage to the foundation and
basement.
s/UTSIDE FAUCETS If you
do not have a frost-free outdoor
faucet, you will need to make sure
the water is shut off to the faucet
and drained. This will prevent
pipes from freezing and breaking
that can cause significant water
damage and an extremely high
water bill.
s 3UMP PUMP Test your
sump pump, and if you are in an
low-lying area, consider a battery
back-up system.
s 0REPARE Stock up on ice
melt, have your shovels accessible
and snow blower maintenance
preformed before the first snow.
Keep yourself, family, and
friend’s safe when on your property as well as your mail delivery
person and allow safe access to
your mailbox. Q

Neo-classical building constructed in 1904
By Suzanne Caswell, Boone County Historical Society
any Boone residents will
remember the beautiful
post office building that
once stood on the northwest corner of Seventh and Arden Streets.
In 1910, the Boone NewsRepublican stated: “The Federal
Building at Boone is one of the
handsomest, best equipped and
most commodious of the government’s many properties.” It was
built at a cost of $100,000 in 1904,
when the rapidly-growing business
of the post office, owing to an
increasing large volume of incoming
mail, made new quarters imperative. The building’s exterior was
constructed of Bedford granite. The
lobby interior was golden oak with
marble wainscoting.
Construction on the post office
actually began in September of 1903
when the lot at Seventh and Arden
was excavated. The foundation was
completed by early January of 1904.
During the winter and early spring
of that year, the steel beams of the
building were put in place, and by
May of 1904, the granite exterior
was being laid. Installation of the roof
began in July and continued throughout the rest of the summer.
The steel window frames were
installed early in September and
were nearly completed by Oct. 1.
Progress on the building’s interior
also continued throughout the fall
of 1904.By November, the build-
M

ing was nearly finished. When it
opened, Stephen G. Goldthwaite,
who was the publisher and editor of
the Boone News Republican, became
the postmaster and Horace W.
Moffat the assistant postmaster.
According to the newspaper, postal receipts increased significantly following the building’s
construction. Between April 1,
1904 and March 31, 1905 receipts
totaled $17,983.40, which was an
increase of $1,155.49 from the previous year. Between April 1, 1909
and March 31, 1910 receipts had
increased still more. They totaled
$24,528.04 which was an increase
of $2,397.02 from the previous year
and an increase of $6,544.64 from
the 1904 - 1905 receipts.
From the mid-1890s to 1904,
the Boone Post Office was located
at 808 Story St., in a still-standing
building, erected by James Burritt
McHose. That building became a
billiard parlor after the post office
moved in 1904. From 1911 into
the 1950s, the building housed the
Princess Theatre. It is now the home
of Boehm Insurance Company.
The1904 neo-classical post
office building was torn down in
1966 to make way for the construction of the Hawkeye Federal
Savings and Loan. The Bank of the
West occupied the that building
until recently. It is currently for sale.

Q: I think my child is
constipated. How do I know for
sure, and what should I do?
Meet Sue Eldridge
Information provided by Dr. Eric Peterson, Boone County Family Medicine,
1115 South Marshall, Boone, 432-2335.
Catholic education is
important to teacher
Photo by Lori Berglund
A: Constipation is a common problem in which a child may have fewer
bowel movements (BMs or poops) than usual. It usually isn’t a cause for
too much concern. Constipation can often be remedied and prevented
with the three F’s: Fluids, Fiber and Fitness.
s 3IGNS AND SYMPTOMS Fewer bowel movements than usual,
straining and pain during bowel movements, stool (poop) is hard, dry,
larger stools than usual, feeling full or bloated, abdominal (belly) pain, a
little blood on the toilet paper after a BM.
s 7HAT TO DO Give the child plenty of water or juice — infants
1 month old or older, add fruit juices 1 oz. per month of age per day.
Increase the fiber in the child’s diet — apples, apricots, bananas, pears,
beans, popcorn, oatmeal and whole-grain breakfast cereals or breads.
Decrease milk products to three servings per day. Encourage daily exercise to encourage bowel movements. Talk to your doctor before giving
the child any medication for constipation.
s7HENTOSEEKMEDICALCARE Breastfed infants less than 1 month
old, no bowel movement in 6 to 10 days, liquid stool in the underwear
when the child isn’t sick, abdominal (belly) pain, fever for 24 to 48 hours,
cause unknown, vomiting, loss of appetite. Q

nce Sue Eldridge determined she wanted to
become a teacher, she
knew exactly the kind of school
where she wanted to work.
“When I was going through the
teaching program at Iowa State, I
knew that when I got out I wanted
to teach in a Catholic school,”
Eldridge says. “It’s just always been
very important to me.”
A Breda native, Eldridge is a
product of Catholic education herself, having graduated from Carroll
Kuemper High School in 1987.
She earned her bachelor’s degree
in elementary education from ISU
and then spent the first several
years of her career caring for students too young for a classroom.
“I worked for several years
at the Mercy Childcare Center in
Des Moines and took care of four
infants every day for 10 hours a
day,” she recalls. “I had to do lesson plans and everything, even for
infants under the age of 1.”
If there’s one thing that will
make a room full of third graders look like a piece of cake, it
must be juggling the needs of four
infants for 10 hours, every day.
“I did enjoy that, but I knew
the classroom setting was where I
wanted to be,” she continues.
Eldridge’s first, more formal, teaching assignment was at
a Catholic school in Burlington,
O
Sue Eldridge says she’s most at home

where she taught pre-K. She
joined the staff at Sacred Heart
School in Boone nine years ago,
teaching for one year at the second grade level and remaining at
third grade since that time.
The ability to share Christian
values with her students is what
most draws her to Catholic education.
“Teaching in a Catholic school
allows me to integrate my faith
into my teaching,” she says.
And, Eldridge believes, the
strong focus on academics along
with values offers a more wellrounded education.
“When our students leave
here, we want them to be prepared to be productive citizens in
their community and their country, as well as in their parish family,” Eldridge says.
Her favorite part of the school
day is a quiet time of prayer that
she and her class after lunch.
“The thing I find most peaceful
is when we pray the rosary,” as
the students pray one decade each
day. “It’s just a quiet time.” Q

Set your academic
resolutions for
school success
Planning can improve your child’s learning
By Sylvan Learning Center
he new year is upon us,
and many of us will make
all kinds of well-intentioned
improvements.
This is also an opportunity to
encourage children to make resolutions of their own, and academic
resolutions can be a good start.
Sylvan Learning, the leading
provider of tutoring services to
children of all ages and skill levels,
offers parents and families the following tips to kick-start a successful new year:
s 7ORK AS A FAMILY
Develop the goals together. Talk
over general ideas — an improved
algebra grade, better study habits, making sports editor for the
school paper — and help him or
her set priorities, but remember
the goal is ultimately your child’s,
so let him or her make the final
decisions. Setting his or her own
goals increases your child’s motivation and self-sufficiency.
s 3ET UP HELPFUL ROUTINES
Give your children the consistency
of regular routines. Children rely
on these routines, and the structure helps them to feel safe, to
know what’s expected of them,
and to be successful.
s (ELP THEM ORGANIZE
Organized students do better in
school. Help them set up a planner, keep their notebooks and
backpacks neat and orderly, break
up large assignments into smaller
ones so they don’t seem overwhelming, and maintain a home
work space.
s -AINTAIN HEALTHY HABITS
Healthy students are better learners. Monitor screen-time (TV,
T
video games, cell phones, etc.),
make sure they’re getting enough
sleep, eating well and exercising.
s "E A GOOD ROLE MODEL
Children learn from parents. If
they see that you’re organized,
focused, staying healthy and being
true to your values, they’ll pick up
these important life lessons Stay
positive and diligent — they’ll test
your patience often. When you
or your family slips a little, pick
yourself up and start over with
renewed determination. That’s an
important lesson in itself.
s $ONT GIVE UP Academic
resolutions are every bit as important — maybe more so — than
social or personal ones. Let your
children know that you’re serious
about these goals and that their
school success is as critical to you
as it is to them.
s 'ET HELP EARLY IF YOU
NEED IT When your children
show that they’re having trouble
despite your best efforts, get help
early. Ask a teacher or guidance
counselor for help. Get a tutor.
Find a “study buddy” for your
child. Just get help now, before the
little problem grows into a big one.
Wishing you and your child a
successful academic new year! Q

Cheesecake
Vary the recipe with different flavors, fruit
By Beth McDonald
ow that the holidays are behind
us and the winter season is setting in, it is a good time to
stretch your baking skills to new levels.
If you love cheesecake but have not
tried to make it, now is the perfect time
to give it a try. While cheesecake goes
together easily, I would consider it to be
more on the intermediate level of baking because there are some key details
that you need to know to be successful.
First, when you are mixing the
cheesecake together, avoid over-mixing it so that it doesn’t crack.
Second, bake the cheesecake in a water bath to help it bake more evenly.
Bake the cheesecake in a spring form pan and allow it to cool before
serving. As you can see, there’s a little bit of prior planning needed to
serve cheesecake for dessert.
There are several variations to cheesecake as well. Most recipes
call for cream cheese; you can also use ricotta or mascarpone. New
York cheesecake uses heavy cream while others will have sour cream
mixed in. You can also make a wide range of flavors from traditional,
to chocolate, pumpkin or any flavor combination. I like to make a classic cheesecake and offer a wide range of toppings. Cheesecake is great
topped with fresh fruit. Q
N
Cheesecake
Crust
2 cups of graham cracker crumbs
½ teaspoon of cinnamon
¼ teaspoon of nutmeg
½ cup of butter melted (1 stick)
Combine these ingredients in a bowl
and once they are sticking together
place them in lightly greased 8-inch
spring form pan. Be sure to push the
crust together on the bottom and
sides. Refrigerate until you are ready
to add the filling.
Filling
1 pound of cream cheese
3 eggs
1 cup of sugar
2 cups sour cream
1 lemon, zested
¼ teaspoon of vanilla
Pre-heat your oven to 325. In the
mixer beat the cream cheese on
low speed until smooth and free of
lumps. Now add the eggs one at a
time until combined. Gradually add
in the sugar and beat until creamy.
This may take up to two minutes.
Add the sour cream, lemon zest and
vanilla. Once it is mixed pour the
filling into the crust-lined pan.
Now set the cheesecake on
large pieces of foil to wrap the pan
to prevent water seeping into the
pan while it is baking in the water
bath. Place the cheesecake in a
roasting pan and add boiling water
so the pan is half full. Bake for 45
minutes at 325. When it is done the
top should be set and there should
be a slight jiggle to the cheesecake.
Once you take it out of the
oven let it remain in the water bath
for 30 minutes then transfer it to
the refrigerator lightly covered. The
cheesecake needs to chill for at least
four hours.
