Tips To Find The Personal Trainer Right For You

Contributing Writer
ware the trainer that wants
to train you without a consultation first and trains all
clients the same.
4. Exude Health
Trainers don’t have to
be professional athletes or
bodybuilders but should
exude health and have no
obvious habits, like smoking
5. Ability to teach exercises correctly
If you make the decision that you need a personal trainer, here are
some first steps.
1. Credentials
Your trainer should
have a background in anatomy, exercise physiology
and bio mechanics. If they
are hesitant to show you
their credentials or liabil-
ity insurance count that as
a red flag.
2. Experience
Some are students doing training until they can
“get a real job”. There is
nothing wrong with working part time as a trainer
but it often means that
the trainer has minimal

boasts that the product has
14 day wear time, zero dry
time, is off in minutes, has
a mirror finish, and does
not chip or smudge. That
By KELLEE MARKWELL is the hype; I personally
Contributing Writer
found all of it to be very accurate except the wear time.
Q. I heard about a new For some people 14 days is
nail polish that will last for
14 days, is that for real?
A. Yes, there is a new
technology in the market
for super long lasting nail
polish. It’s really a nail
treatment and polish combined. Several companies
are promoting a version
of this treatment. The version I like the most is made
by a company called Creative Nail Designs. They
call their product Shellac
for nails. It is a combination of gel and polish, but
it goes on thin and smooth
like a polish. You don’t use
this product to lengthen the
nail. It is available in colors and a French style pink
and white combination. I
like this company’s version
best because it goes on just
like polish, really does last
a long time and stays shinny and smooth the entire
time it’s on. It also comes
off very easily and quickly
when it’s time to remove
the color. The science be-
hands on experience.
3. Adaptability
Some trainers have
ready made workouts that
they hand out to everyone
regardless of their needs
and personal goals. A good
trainer will write your program based on your current
fitness level and goals. Be-
realistic. Others, who are
harder on their nails, should
expect about 10 days... still
a really long time for polish to last and stay looking
great! It is not available for
home application and must
be put on by a trained professional. I love this new
product. I recommend it
often. It’s especially great
for brides who what perfect looking nails and who
are often leaving right away
for a honeymoon. The pol-
This requires knowledge of good form and can
sometimes be a problem

initial trial session before
making a commitment.
Don’t allow yourself to
get talked into a long term
plan. Also , make sure
that sessions are refundable if you change your
mind. You should never
sign a contract for training beyond your package
that was purchased.
8. No matter how
highly recommended,
some people just don’t
click.
If you don’t feel comfortable in your consultation don’t hire the trainer.
You don’t have to be best
friends but you should feel
good enough to know that
you can work together.

6. Ability to work with

A trainer should have
experience with the kind of
program that you are looking for. If you are looking
to become more muscular
or get into a serious weight

trainer only has experience with weight loss circuits they may not be as
responsive as they should

training. More expensive is
generally not better training, only higher overhead.

FEVERFEW FOR “ME and YOU”
By Frank Miesse, Ph.D.
In nature, we look
for answers using common plants to balance
those difficult problems that make life
miserable for us; migraine headaches, sore
joints and muscles.
Feverfew is a member of the second largest family of flowering
plants, the daisy family. It is related to commonly grown plants
such as Marigold and
medicinal plants such
as Echinacea, Burdock,
and Calendula, and the
edible Sunflower and
Jerusalem Artichokes.
Feverfew’s name stems
from its medicinal use
as a fever reducer. The
use of this herb dates
back to 1633 when
English herbalist, Gerard, stated that Feverfew was effective for
“them that were giddy
in the head.”
Today, Feverfew is
being used throughout
Europe and the United
Kingdom not only for
fever reduction, but
also the reduction of
migraine
headaches,
arthritis
symptoms,
and psoriasis-type skin
problems. It contains
the active chemical

Parthenolide, which is
said to inhibit chemical
substances in the body
that are involved with
inflammation.
THE LANCET published a series of articles on Feverfew
and its use as a treatment for migraines in
1978. The study cited
by LANCET indicated
that “seventy percent of
270 migraine sufferers
who have eaten Feverfew every day for prolonged periods claimed
that the herb decreased
the frequency of the attacks or caused them to
be less painful or both.”
Based on these study
results, scientists have
ascertained that Fever-
few reacts much like
aspirin in inhibiting the
chemical substances in
the body that cause inflammation. This, in
turn, reduces or blocks
inflammatory reaction
in the body, determining how much blood is
delivered to particular
tissues. We must remember whenever the
body is distressed with
pain and problems, it
is important to get the
blood moving to and
through damaged or
swollen tissues in an
effort to wash out toxins and feed new blood
for the restoring of new
cells.
There seems to be
a connection between
migraine
headaches
and arthritic problems.
The narrowing and the
widening of blood vessels in the brain have
been linked to migraines and the pain,
swelling, and even disfiguration of joints and
other tissue in arthritic
people.
Earlier, I mentioned

herb has the ability to

What about my card?
Question:
I can’t find my Social Security card. How
can I get a new one?
Answer:
First, consider whether you really need a
new card. You need to apply for a replacement Social Security card only if you don’t
know your Social Security number or, if you
need to show your card to a new employer. If
you decide that you do need a card, you can
replace it for free in three easy steps.
Step 1: Complete an Application For a
Social Security Card (Form SS-5)
Step 2: Show us documents proving
your:
•
Identity; and
•
U.S. citizenship or immigration status.
Step 3: Take your completed application
and original documents to your local Social
Security office or your local Social Security
Card Center. You’ll receive your replacement card in about 10 to 15 days.
You can find all the information you need,
including what documents we will need to
review, at www.socialsecurity.gov.

Characteristic
is TAX DEFERRED:
DOES THIS TYPE OR
CATEGORY OF MONEY GROW TAX-DEFERRED?
Very few things in
our lives escape taxation. Many types of
money are taxed on
their growth on an annual basis. A typical CD
at a bank is taxed on
its growth on an annual
basis. Is this true of an
IRA or 401K? No, these
are tax-deferred. These
are taxed when you take
Laws You Can Use
distributions from them.
So the tax on them is
deferred to a later date
and
possibly at a higher
tax table. Ask yourself,
does your money or a
particular
type of money grow
tax-deferred? Yes or no.
#8
TAX-FREE:
DOES THIS TYPE OF
MONEY GET DISTRIBUTED TO YOUTAXFREE?
Better yet does the
type of money you have
get distributed to you or
your heirs, your family,
in the event of something happening to you,
tax-free? Is an IRA taxfree? How about a bank
savings program? Are
mutual funds tax-free?
On your chart or list of
types of money you can
have, how many of them
are tax-free at distribution? Yes or no.
Next week I will reveal #9 through #11.
Have a great week.
Child Support: How Is It Enforced?
Q: What can be done
if child support payments are not made?
A: All support orders must be secured in
one of three ways. Most
common is the wage-order (garnishment of the
payor’s income source
or bank account). Selfemployed persons have
bond orders (a requirement to post a cash bond,
which is used if the payor
misses a payment. The
payee is paid from the
bond, and the payor is
then called in to reimburse the bond fund). A
“reporting” order is used
for unemployed parents.
If a parent is not working
at the time the child support order is issued by the
court, then that parent is
required to report regularly to state what he or
she is doing to find work,
and to report any income
received or job obtained.
Any person involved
in a support order has

Air Force launches advanced
cyberspace courses
WRIGHT-PATTERSON AIR FORCE BASE,
Ohio – The Air Force Cyberspace Technical Center
of Excellence is conducting the first offerings of the
Cyber 200 and 300 Courses
beginning Oct.12.
On Oct. 28, more than
100 students will graduate
from the Air Force Institute
of Technology’s newest educational courses designed
to develop its cyber workforce.
Cyber 200/300 are
professional development
courses for cyberspace professionals as they transition
to intermediate and higher
level responsibilities.
The AFIT CCR conducted beta test classes of
Cyber 200 and 300 courses
in June and July. Thirtynine students from various
organizations to include
the United States Strategic
Command, Air Force Space
Command, 7th Intelligence
Squadron, 23rd Information Operations Squadron,
57th Information Aggressor Squadron and the 315
Network Warfare Squadron provided feedback on
these courses.
“The Air Force Cyberspace Technical Center
of Excellence has done a
tremendous job of putting
these courses together. It
was refreshing to discuss
topics ranging between
doctrine, current ops, present threats, legal challenges, acquisitions, and even
current R&D/Academic
efforts” said Lt. Col. Timothy Franz, 57th Information Aggressor Squadron
Commander, and Cyber
300 student.
“Hands Down this is the
best Air Force course I’ve
taken in my career! It has
sharpened my knowledge
to see the “big picture.” I
now understand the technical part and can explain
the “so what” to any senior
leader (Army, Navy, AF
and Marine). My knowledge has been enhanced
and eyes opened. I can
apply cyber to base operations; battlefield networks:
ground, air, land, and maritime; homeland defense;
and theater operations.
Cyber begins where other
domains end to achieve
kinetic and non-kinetic affects. We have now moved
in a new paradigm where
cyber is the new spear”
said Capt. David Gordon,
USSTRATCOM/J6, and
Cyber 200 student.

Eldon F. Studebaker
Eldon F. Studebaker, a nurseryman
of 94 years of age, died in his home
in New Carlisle, OH, on September 27, 2010. He was born in this
same house on July 13, 1916, son
of Guy E. and Ella (Funderburg)
Studebaker. He graduated from
New Carlisle High School, attended Manchester College in Indiana
and Ohio State University, receiving a BS degree in agriculture.
There he was a member of Alpha
Zeta Fraternity and was elected to
Gamma Sigma Delta, the national
honor society of agriculture college graduates. Upon graduation
he taught vocational agriculture at
Dixon Township High School in
Preble County, OH for two years.
He married Ruth Workman, a commercial artist of Fredericktown, OH
on June 4, 1938, “the happiest day
of his life” and together they moved
to Findley, OH, where he was employed by the US Department of
Agriculture in a study of Hancock
County agricultural land use. Later
he became an Ohio State University
assistant county extension agent for
Lucas County, living in Toledo.
There he pursued a post graduate
degree in business management at
the University of Toledo. In 1942
he became a full county extension
agent in Paulding County, OH.
Joining the US Navy war effort in
1944, he attended US Naval Officers Candidate School at Princeton
University and served as an Armed
Guard Commander aboard the Liberty Ship SS Harold T. Andrews, in
the SW Pacific Theater. He traveled
to Australia, the Philippines, Okinawa, Shanghai and Tsingtao, China until he separated from the Navy
as a Lieutenant JG in March 1946.
Following WW II, he returned with
his family to New Carlisle, where
he joined with his brother, Gerald
Studebaker, in general farming,
specializing in growing and marketing irrigated potatoes. At that
time, he was a member of the board
of the Ohio Vegetable and Potato
Association and a member of the
board and president of the Ohio Potato Marketing Association in Columbus, OH. In 1956, he founded
Studebaker Nurseries, growers of
wholesale nursery stock, ceased
growing potatoes in 1973 and with
his partner-brother began expanding the nursery greatly. He was
an original member of his beloved
International Plant Propagators Society for 50 years. His lifelong love
of propagation of trees, shrubs and
evergreens was what got the nursery
started and was his deep passion.
His backyard is a testament to the
many unique species of trees that he
himself initiated and planted; each
one with a special story accompanying it. Eldon was an active lifelong member of the New Carlisle
Church of the Brethren, serving in
many capacities, including Deacon
for fifty years. When the Southern
Ohio District Church of the Brethren sought to establish an outdoor
education center and church camp,
he served as chairman of the Building Committee of Camp Woodland Altars in the hills of beautiful
southern Ohio in Adams County.
Generations of Brethren campers
have since enjoyed and expressed
their faith in this beautiful outdoor
setting. Turning Studebaker Nurseries over to the next generation of
family in the early 1980’s, his underlying interest in woodworking,
carpentry and antiques and history
began to take center stage in his
later life. His membership in The
Woodworker’s of Western Ohio,
the Dayton Antique Study Club,
The Mad River Valley Country Antique Study Club and his rebuilding
of a two story, 1841 log house in his
backyard, reflected those interests.
He and Ruth made multiple trips to
public gardens and to find family
roots in Great Britain and Europe,
with many wonderful memories of
traveling together with family and
visiting friends. He loved to travel
and get away and see the world
and many happy, memorable times
were had by family on extended
camping trips to the western USA.
He served a term as a member of
the Clark County Board of District Health, and was a trustee and
treasurer of the Studebaker Family National Association for 30
years, which produced a published
Studebaker genealogy.
He was
honored as Sertoman of the Year
in 2003 and also by the Tecumseh
Local School District as a Hall of
Honor member in 2006. Eldon is
survived by his four children, ten
grandchildren and 8 great-grandchildren. Daughter Nancy (Studebaker) Ulrich and husband Larry
Ulrich of Lombard, IL, have three
sons with families all in the midwest, Michael Jon, Andy and Joel.
Son Stephen and wife Wendy Allen
reside in Durango, Colorado and
Stephen has two daughters, Hilary and Stephanie, with families in
Colorado Springs. Son Ted of Oak
Park, IL has two daughters, Laura
and Christina, with families in the
Seattle area. Son Dan and wife Len
(Cihak) of New Carlisle, OH have
three children Nick, Luke and Ingrid living in Portland, Oregon. He
is also survived by a sister, Roberta
Eby of Goleta, CA and a sister-inlaw, Thelma Studebaker, of New
Carlisle. Preceding him in death
was his beloved wife of sixty years,
Ruth, sister and husband, Alma and
Robert Noffsinger, brother-in-law,
Walter Dale Eby, and brother, Gerald Studebaker. Visitation with the
family will be at the TROSTEL,
CHAPMAN, DUNBAR & FRALEY FUENRAL HOME in New Carlisle on Friday, October 15th from 5
to 8 p.m. A memorial service will
be held at the New Carlisle Church

Gardens. In lieu of flowers, memorial donations may be made to The

Beautiful, Peaceful Ferncliff Cemetery & Arboretum
By ANDREA TROMLEY SKRLAC
Staff Writer
Chartered nearly 150
years ago, in 1863, Ferncliff Cemetery & Arboretum is Ohio’s largest
historic cemetery. What
many area families have
discovered over the years
is that this is a beautiful,
peaceful place that was
designed for the community to come and enjoy.
Ferncliff is a nonprofit
organization that’s open
to all, and is a wonderful
place for families and other area residents to visit.
Superintendent
Stanley
Spitler notes that Ferncliff
has served multiple generations of families, creating
memories that have become
part of family heritage.
Many area residents have
fond childhood memories
of Ferncliff’s sledding hill;
others make use of the 7.5
miles of roadway for walking or bicycling. Rolling
hills, fern-covered cliffs,
ponds, and more than 50
species of trees make Ferncliff a genuinely welcoming place, whether one’s
visit is for recreation or to
pay respects to a loved one.
Visitors will find Ferncliff’s main gate at 501
West McCreight Avenue
open from 7:30 a.m. to 7
p.m. daily. The office is
open Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 4:30
p.m., and Saturdays from
8 a.m. to 12 noon. Pick
up a map that will take
you through a self-guided
tour of Ferncliff’s woody
plant collections, or of the
gravesites of notable historical figures. Fall is a
popular time for gathering
leaf collections, and the
arboretum typically welcomes about 200 families
on weekends in September.
A demand for guided
tours led to the creation of
an annual fall tour -- coming up on October 17 -- that
accommodates up to 350
people and focuses on both
historical and horticultural
points of interest. Reservations are required, and there
is already a waiting list for
this year’s 8th annual tour.
Ferncliff Cemetery &
Arboretum is situated on
240 acres of ground, only
180 acres of which are presently in use for burials. It is
projected that space will be
available to accommodate
the community’s needs for
another 100 years. Services
include in-ground burials,
with options for flat markers or upright monuments,
as well as mausoleums.
For those who choose cremation, Ferncliff’s options
range from a niche garden,
to cored pillars and boulders, to a cremation gar-

Having a bike trail that

it’s the Springfield part

Transportation Coordinating Committee planner. It’s
easier for bicyclists to start
or end at Beatty for that
reason or go no farther than
the Heritage Center if riding in from the north. However, at 5:30 p.m. Thursday,
Oct. 14 at Perrin Woods
Elementary School, 431
W. John St., there will be a
forum to discuss the opportunity for the city to obtain
federal funding to create a
dedicated bike trail along
that stretch. How many
bicyclists avoid coming
into Springfield because
of the non-contiguous
bike route? This is an opportunity to correct that.
By attending and voicing your support for the
project, we can remove
Springfield as the biking
bottleneck, which is the
way many see us. Have a
great Chamber day!

improving efficiencies and reducing staff levels...all while
the need has doubled.

funding. Ohio ranks last in its support of child protection.
