January 2009 7 8 The Gray Eagle Post . www.grayeaglehoa.org . January 2009 By Doris A. Black When considering a new career, you don’t have to make a complete break from your current field. If you truly love the field you are in, then consider approaching it from a different angle. For example, consider sales instead of management. ith mass layoffs and downsizing, changing careers may become a matter of survival for many of us. Starting over in a new field is not always easy, but with passion and persistence, it can be done without a major loss of income or lifestyle. There are always stories about people who have been out of work for a year or more, and even though there are no jobs available in their chosen fields, they refuse to consider switching careers. Sure, it is difficult to think about starting over after putting years into a chosen profession, but it’s not impossible. A new career will provide you not only with the opportunity to learn new skills but with the chance to use some of the skills you have honed for so many years. Our parents were of a generation where if they were lucky, they could stay in the same job throughout most of their life. The unlucky ones, like Harry S. Truman, changed careers many times. Truman started off as a railroad timekeeper and then went into banking as a clerk. He then tried his hand at farming and later opened a men’s clothing store, which failed. Eventually Truman turned to politics and became a judge, senator, vice president of the United States and eventually president. If Truman had remained in the railroad business, he would have never realized his true potential. Many people see unemployment as an opportunity to start their own business or enter a field they’ve always dreamed of working in, even if that means going back to school. Over the past several years, colleges across the country have seen an increase in the number of older adults returning to school to learn new marketable skills. As a matter of fact, older adults make excellent students. They are focused, goal-oriented and appreciative of the opportunity to learn. It is not unusual to see an older student at the top of the class in grades. Another approach to choosing a new career is to investigate which fields are considered in high need or are predicted to have a large growth rate in the future. According to the Occupational Outlook handbook, the computer fields will continue to grow the most. Specifically mentioned are computer software engineers, support specialists, system and database administrators, and data communications specialists. The fastest-growing non-computer field is predicted to be personal and home care aides, followed closely by medical assistants. The service occupations are predicted to have the next highest rate of growth with health care support positions topping the list in this category. Food preparation and food service-related positions are also expected to see higherthan-average increases. In management, it is once again the computer-related positions that will see the biggest increase, such as information systems managers. Operations managers, general managers and public relations managers will also see a sharp increase. In the office support category, desktop publishing positions are expected to increase at a fast rate. If you are creative and enjoy working with computers, this could be your next career. How do you make the switch to a new career? Talk to people everywhere you go. Experts say 80% of all jobs are gained through networking — it’s who you know or at least talk to that counts. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), employment is projected to increase by 3.3 million jobs per year for the next seven years. Although jobs will be available at all education levels, the BLS predicts that the growth rates will be highest in occupations requiring specialized training with either vocational certificates or associate’s degrees. However, having a college degree will not guarantee you a job — it is the work-related skills that will carry you the farthest. 9 The Gray Eagle Post . www.grayeaglehoa.org .

January 2009 13 By Ronda Addy No matter what your age, dating can be scary. For seniors who want to start dating again after a long gap, it can be downright terrifying. Most have already had the one love of their life and are just looking for some companionship. One way to go about finding this is to use an online dating service. Joining an online dating service will reduce the time and effort required to find that special person. When you sign up, you need to be honest about yourself. Don’t lie about your age or send a photo of yourself from five years ago. Doing so will make any first meetings awkward. You also need to be honest about your intentions. Are you interested in just getting to know someone as a friend, or are you looking for a long-term relationship? Would you consider marriage? After signing up for the online service, you will have profiles to choose from. You may contact the person who interests you by e-mail, instant messaging or using a video or web cam before your actual date. Remember the purpose of a first date is to see if you are interested in a second date, so plan an activity that will allow you to get to know the person. Go someplace public and do something fun. If you plan to eat, choose someplace casual where the pressure won’t be as great. Safety is always an issue when dating, especially on a first date with someone you hardly know. Don’t give out your address or phone number or disclose any financial information. Take things slow. Should declarations of love come right away, be leery of continuing the relationship. Let someone else know where you are going and whom you are meeting. If you feel uncomfortable with the person at any point, don’t be afraid to leave. Enrolling in an online dating service can be fun. You can meet some nice people and make some lifelong friendships if nothing else. Just remember to use common sense when interacting with strangers and play it safe, and you are sure to have a good time and perhaps even find another the second time around. 14 The Gray Eagle Post . www.grayeaglehoa.org .

The only thing I enjoy more than working with numbers is working closely with other people and I take the time to listen to and to understand the financial goals of every client. I also offer a very flexible schedule that allows me to establish meeting times that work best for the people I serve. What is your favorite part about being an entrepreneur? I enjoy the flexibility that comes from being my own boss. I am also able to ensure that the specific needs of every client are met and are done so in a thorough and affordable manner. Where do you see your business in five years? In five years I would like to move the business to a physical location outside of my home.

The Cobblestone Grill is located at 160 South Main Street in Zionsville and can be reached at 317-873-4745. he practice of body cleansing or detoxification has been around for thousands of years. In fact, Hippocrates, the father of medicine, believed that one needed knowledge of the body as a whole in order to cure it and that disease could be caused by improper diet and exercise as well as age, climate and season. Among all doctors, “balancing the humors” was standard practice, with detoxification serving as the foundation of healing. Over time, the concept changed from treating the whole body to treating each part of the body separately. This new science-based medicine, or allopathic medicine, emphasized science, technology and systems. Today, alternative medicine is returning to treating the body as a whole, with symptoms serving as a sign of an imbalance. One of the best ways to regain balance is by cleansing the body of toxins. The body is constantly being exposed to chemicals through food, air, water and everyday stress. All of this leads to a buildup of toxins in the body that can interfere with the immune system and the function of cells in the body. A bad diet, for example, can result in incomplete digestion of food, which can result in a thick, mucous-like layer forming in the intestines, which can result in the reproduction of microbes and parasites, which can result in disease. Symptoms that indicate a person could be a candidate for an internal cleansing include: • Exhaustion upon waking up • Sluggishness all day • Bloating • Lightheadedness • Depression • Joint or muscle aches • Blurred vision • Low resistance to colds and infections • Difficult periods and PMS or fasting for a few days to reduce the body’s food digestion and waste processing. Most internal cleansings result in a reduction in body toxins, a loss of excess water and weight, blood purification, an increase in oxygenation of the tissue, a release of chemicals stored in fat and other tissues, and a cleansing of the liver, colon and kidneys. Fringe benefits include relief for acne, allergies, colitis and Crohn’s disease, as well as renewed energy, clearer thinking, a better sense of well being, smoother digestion and elimination, and more efficient absorption and use of nutrients. Side effects may include minor gastrointestinal problems, temporary gas or flulike symptoms like a runny nose or sneezing. These should only last a week to 10 days, and in the event they persist, a doctor should be consulted. Throughout an internal cleansing, a change in diet is recommended. A diet high in fiber with fruits, whole grains and vegetables, and easier-to-digest proteins, like fish, chicken and turkey, is a must. Excessive amounts of red meat and sugary snacks are a no-no. Drinking eight to 10 glasses of water a day will help with the elimination of toxins. After a person has undergone an internal cleansing, there are some things they can do to prevent toxins from building up again. These include: • Exercising regularly • Drinking lots of water every day • Eating foods rich in fiber and vitamins B and C • Consuming more organic foods • Avoiding foods with additives • Limiting the intake of red meat • Supplementing the diet with a high-potency multiple-vitamin mineral supplement • Avoiding alcohol Any or all of these symptoms could be the body’s way of saying that it is in need of an internal cleansing. • Reducing exposure to strong cleaning materials and solvents There are two types of internal cleansing: single organ and whole body. The most common single organs targeted for cleansing include the colon, the liver and the kidneys. Colon cleansing relies on the use of fiber and herbal supplements to eliminate toxins; liver cleansing on the use of specific foods; kidney cleansing on the use of herbs, supplements and juices. Whole body cleansing involves consuming bitter herbs designed to make the body an inhospitable place for parasites • Stopping smoking and avoiding second-hand smoke There are five areas in the body designed to handle elimination of toxins. They are the bowels, kidneys, skin, lungs, liver and lymphatic system. These systems are designed to work together to eliminate toxins from the body, but like everything else, they may occasionally need a little help. That’s where body cleansing comes in.

They also have purchased a home in Hamilton County for foster siblings with the capacity to house up to eight children, allowing brothers and sisters to remain intact as they negotiate the foster care system. In photo, listed from left to right, Peggy Driehorst, Brianna Debows, Michelle Morgan, Sha Clark and Shannon Pauwels The strength of a community can be measured by how it responds to its most impoverished citizens. This is as true for our global community, where the failure to provide tools to sustain the most basic qualities of life for every human being diminishes us all. As it is for our local community, where, though easier to be more aware of those in need, we are also more likely to believe that responsibility rests elsewhere. Agape Families is one Central Indiana organization that meets responsibility face-to-face, one child at a time. Recognizing an often-unacknowledged segment of our population, recognizing that hope, care, tenderness and compassion are still the best gestures one can make when faced with a challenge. Some of the most unacknowledged members of our community are the area’s foster children. Often the foster care system is the first to face budget cuts and staff turnover, leaving children in need without resources and without hope. Agape Families, Inc., however, inspires hope by focusing the energies of the community directly on these children in need of care and acknowledgement. Agape Families, Inc. is a volunteer-led organization founded in 2006 by Krista Davis whose stated mission is to transform the troubled lives of abused and neglected children by showing them unconditional love in a safe and nurturing home, using the gifts and talents of the community. Agape Families works with foster families and provides support to foster parents and their children. 18 The Gray Eagle Post . www.grayeaglehoa.org . January 2009 Agape Families works to mobilize members of the community to volunteer in meaningful ways; every volunteer responds to a need and does so with an open heart. Many work for Kingdom’s Kloset, an outreach program that addresses the immediate clothing needs of children in foster care. Many children leave abusive and neglectful situations with nothing more than the clothes on their backs. Kingdom’s Kloset solicits and collects clothing donations from area residents and businesses. They organize volunteers to put together personalized, handmade duffle bags that contain a week’s worth of new or gently used clothing for each child. More than 1300 duffle bags have been delivered to newly placed foster children since Kingdom’s Kloset’s inception. All of Agape Families’ endeavors stem from the simple goal of helping children in need discover and experience positive nurturing environments from which they can develop and grow into compassionate adults. This is how strong and vital communities are fashioned—through work and responsibility. Through understanding that the way we grow as individuals is by growing as a community, the way we take care of ourselves is by taking care of each other. For more information about Kingdom’s Kloset please contact Shannon Pauwels at 336-7018. Donations can be dropped off at the Carmel Self Storage at 550 West Carmel Drive or at Kingdom’s Kloset’s Fishers and Geist locations.

(PART 1) By Robert Stalets, President, Green-Scene, Inc. Being “green” and environmentally friendly is part of today’s society. When being “green” and lawn care meet there is always some company trying to utilize the trend. If the facts are known, most lawn care companies are already environmentally friendly from the standards forced upon them. Over the last 20 years, the EPA restructured their requirements for all the lawn care chemicals to meet very strict environmental standards. No longer, when used properly, do any lawn care chemicals, used either by a professional service or purchased retail, contaminate soil, reach well water, etc. The EPA makes no secret to the fact that far more damage occurs to the environment from the homeowner doing it themselves than from a professional, licensed service company. 20 The Gray Eagle Post . www.grayeaglehoa.org . January 2009 “Organic” lawn care is a deceptive term often leading one to believe it is somehow better or safer. The term “organic” means to have a carbon base - which is not hard to find in almost any chemical compound. For this reason anyone could use the term organic and literally be applying nothing different than anyone else. The term natural means a raw bi-product taken directly from nature, (worm castings, chicken manure, cow manure, etc). These natural products do have bi-products that a traditional fertilizer could never have; yet the bottom line of the extreme cost versus the lack of a consumer visually recognizing any benefit makes the use of these products almost non-existent.

The Gray Eagle Post . www.grayeaglehoa.org . January 2009 21 By Tresa Erickson ou always knew this day would come, but it seems to have come much faster than you expected. Age is marching across your face, and fine lines, wrinkles and age spots are cropping up everywhere. You definitely aren’t ready for a facelift, but you would like a little something to soften those lines and wrinkles and lighten those age spots. It’s time to schedule an appointment with a plastic surgeon and discuss all of your options, including chemical peels. Because they bleach the skin somewhat, chemical peels work best for fair-haired, fair-skinned people. However, individuals with darker hair and skin may have a chemical peel. There are three general types of chemical peels: alphahydroxy acids (AHA), trichloroacetic acid (TCA) and phenol. These can be done in various stages and strengths. AHA chemical peels use glycolic, lactic or fruit acids to improve the look and feel of facial skin, making it brighter and smoother. They work best for acne, dryness, fine wrinkles and uneven pigmentation. Recovery is quick. Side effects may include crustiness, irritation, redness and stinging. TCA chemical peels use trichloroacetic acid to improve the look and feel of facial skin, making it fresher and smoother. They work best for treating fine wrinkles, pigment problems and superficial blemishes. Recovery is fairly quick. Side effects may include crustiness, irritation, redness, stinging and swelling. Phenol chemical peels use phenol to dramatically improve the look and feel of facial skin. They work best for treating blotchiness, coarse wrinkles, damaged skin and pre-cancerous growths. Because of the strength of the treatment, recovery can take several months. The results, however, generally last for a long time. Side effects may include crustiness, irritation, redness, stinging and swelling. Patients may be restricted to a liquid diet for a few days. Although some states do not require a professional to have a medical degree to perform a chemical peel, patients should look for a qualified plastic surgeon. The surgeon will be able to examine the patient’s face and determine the best course of treatment for them. It could be a series of AHA chemical peels or one phenol peel. They will also advise the patient on the risks involved and prepare them for what lies ahead. Depending upon what they recommend, the patient may need to do some things beforehand to prepare their skin for the procedure. Because they involve the use of chemicals, peels can be painful. Should you decide to get one, make sure you know what you are getting into. They are a bit more involved than your average facial. When all is said and done, however, you will look and feel years younger. 15386279043 76208415906 89015328254 Did you know that you can access past Grey Eagle Post magazines on the Capture Media website?

January 2009 15386279043 SOLUTION FROM PAGE 15 Facial Plastic Surgery Industry Expert Gifts That Will Be Appreciated By Catherine Winslow, M.D., F.A.C.S. Catherine Winslow I would be remiss if I didn’t address the ever sinking economy and ways to save even at your plastic surgeon’s office! Even though we don’t have as much discretionary funds to play with, there are still ways to keep your face gorgeous and not break the bank (those that are still in business that is!). 1. Buy packages instead of individual treatments. The cost per treatment is discounted by 10-30%. 2. Look into a TCA Chemical Peel instead of expensive laser treatments such as Fraxel, Thermage or CO2. The TCA is still my favorite and the most reliable safe treatment to tighten skin, alleviate sun damage, lessen and even eliminate fine lines/wrinkles and basically rejuvenate your whole face. And, unlike laser treatments that can be up to 4 times the price, it is proven to work and has far less risk. 3. Surgery instead of minimally invasive procedures? Doesn’t sound as sexy, but surgical procedures will last a decade or more- compared to 6-12 months with minimally invasive surgery. The cost is about the same for a mini-lift as for a Threadlift, the results last longer and are very natural. 4. Care Credit. 18 months with NO interest sounds too good to be true- but isn’t. Better than any credit card deal you can get, financing up to 5 years is also an option. 5. Look for special discounts on fillers and Botox and prepurchase. You can save hundreds with planning ahead! The economy will come back to life soon, but until then a little planning can help your pocketbook! The Gray Eagle Post . www.grayeaglehoa.org .
