I write this with mixed emotions of happiness and sadness. My friend and co-publisher of 38 plus years, Kyda West, is retiring this spring. I am happy that she is excited about a new chapter in her life that is well deserved. I am sad that our daily routine of tackling all things together, good and bad, has come to an end. Kyda and I both realize that business partnerships are not always successful. In fact, through the years, we have heard horror stories about business partnerships. We were very lucky to share the same values, the same basic philosophies about business, and more importantly we shared the same ideas about relationships. We raised our families and developed a small fledgling paper simultaneously. We attended school functions, and then attended to bookkeeping or sales issues. Then, in the blink of an eye, our children were grown and our business had grown to triple circulation, home delivery, and feature publications. And we were still working together, side by side, day by day. Even though she will be stepping down as co-publisher, she will continue to work with us on a part-time basis. So, lucky for me, she will still be available when I need a sounding board or just some friendly advice. And,,,the truth be known...thats priceless.

When Girls Gather...

Hollywood has nothing over Bowling Green! We know how to celebrate Oscar night...well, at least some of us do!
for the Oscars

By Belinda Saltzman There were many jewelry items by Dot Fly (Lynns mom), and most of the make-up and hair were courtesy of Lynn. I even understand that Sharpie tattoos were used to enhance the look of some. During the evening, an elegant dinner created by Chef Lynn was served using fine china and crystal. The elaborate menu included chicken with a delicate Mornay sauce (aka chicken casserole), fresh steamed asparagus sauteed with olive oil, butter and pine nuts, both complemented by a fresh green salad. Of course, there was Oscar partying after the awards (until at least 10:30pm) when all the guests tumbled into bed for a couple of quick winks before waking to feast on the afterOscar breakfast. When she isnt busy hosting elaborate parties, Lynn Whitmer is a Realtor with Crye-Leike.
Lynn Fly Whitmer hosted a spur-of-the moment Oscar/ Slumber party with 5 girlfriends. These college friends are no strangers to girls night out. They make sure they get together at least once a year to celebrate over 40 years of friendship. The girls arrived for the party with evening gowns, a wedding dress, and jewelry galore. They spent pre-Oscar time getting all gussied up. One of the ladies changed gowns 6 times before finding the right look! There were make-up and hair sessions and accessorizing, of course. After the look was achieved, the ladies strolled the Red Carpet (a red tablecloth) from the patio to the family room which was transformed into elegant seating for the audience. Lynn, with microphone (a summer sausage intended as an hors doeuvre) in hand, greeted and interviewed each arrival. Of course, important questions such as WHO are you wearing? and WHO is your jewelry by? were asked and answered.

The
Makeover
By Sarah McCullum
As a resident aid at Chandler Park Assisted Living, Paula Evans spends her days taking care of those around her. But on February 24th, thanks to Panache Salon and Spa, Paula was pampered from dawn to dusk. For the second year in a row, Panache held a contest in which members of the community could Paula Evans... BEFORE nominate a fabulous lady who they felt deserved to be primped and pampered for the day. The makeover included a pedicure, facial, spray tan application, hair-conditioning treatment, haircut & color, waxing and makeup application. Paula has always had a passion for helping people. She grew up in Brownsville, Kentucky, where many of her neighbors had crops. She said she spent a lot of her free time working next door stripping tobacco. When she grew a little older, she would often help elderly family friends by taking them to the doctor and running errands with them. Now, 30 years later, Paula remains steadfast in her philanthropy through her job at Chandler Park Assisted Living. Geriatrics has always been my thing. You can really learn a lot from older people, she said. Tracy Stuart, friend to Paula and Marketing Director of Chandler Park, originally nominated Paula because of her dependability and her willingness to reach out to the residents. I think so much of the service she does for others. She is very deserving, Tracy said. The women at Panache agreed with Tracy which was their reason for Paula shows off her selecting Paula to spend a day in NEW LOOK courtesy of luxury. Im not used to getting pampered Salon Panache like this. I feel very special, Paula said. 1945 Scottsville Road

f... o art udlof ring t ee R An d colo

from
By Sarah McCullum
Andee Rudloffs career started because as a child she was interested in one thing: coloring. I liked what color could do. I liked entertaining people with it, said the Bowling Green native. Now, as the Education and Outreach Director at Bowling Greens newest performing arts center, SKyPAC, Andee gets to work with color every day. Or, more specifically, with art. Her main goal is to create and circulate dialogue about art within the community. She wants to engage others and to teach them that art can be an outlet and that it can be everywhere. Andee first studied art at the University of Mississippi before graduating from the University of South Florida with a Bachelor of Arts in Fine Arts. There, she began to study muraling and learned more about the public art process. She continued her involvement in public art by working on a mural project in East Nashville. She has produced many murals throughout Kentucky and Tennessee, as well as serving as the curator for the Nashville International Airport. This airport was one of the first to have integrated art as a functional component of the space. Rather than using Andee Rudloff: Visual Artist, paintings and sculptures as an afterthought to decorate the Education and Outreach Director, SKyPAC airport, Andee worked to make the entire airport a gallery, allowing all facets of it to be a medium for art. Continuing her passion for public art, Andee hopes that SKyPAC and the space it provides for the community can be another outlet for public art. As she glances through the open lobby, she points out the possibility of one day making railings or light fixtures an outlet for local artists to apply their talent. Andee Rudloff believes that art can be created everywhere. And we are thrilled that she brought her art back to Bowling Green.

The Wine-0-1-1
By Casandra Spears
Spring is in the air, and with it comes lots of weddings! Ever since we were little girls, we dreamed of what our special day would be like. We planned it, acted it out, married Barbie to Ken, and some of us even kept scrapbooks explaining all the possibilities. If you are married, can you remember the excitement? If you are a bride-to-be, you are probably wiggling in your seat right now, so anxious you can hardly stand it, and if youre single, dont worry girls - your day will come soon enough. I will be joining in on the fun this year as one of my friends ties the knot this June. I was recently in a bridal shop and was so overcome with the excitement, that I decided to get my vows renewed in a couple years just so I could do the whole wedding thing all over again. I want a new dress, to feel the fresh young love again, and to celebrate it all with friends and family over many cocktails and wine! However, as much as I want another wedding, I have been reminded through my friend of the many questions and decisions that must be made to get the perfect day. One of those questions is, What wine to serve? This is often the last one to think about. Thats where I come in. For this season of weddings, I have the perfect wine to enchant your guests with. Its called La Romantica Moscato, and it is a perfect complement to any dessert, as well as the perfect end to any romantic occasion. Moscatos are the trendy wine in the industry right now mainly because they are sweet and fruity, easy to drink, and full of sparkle. La Romantica is a Moscato from Italy and is a sweet white wine with the flavors of honeysuckle, peaches, and white blossoms. La Romanticas label is beautiful and classy and will pair with any color scheme, not to mention look great placed on tables. La Romantica Moscato also has a slight sparkling to it and can be used in place of champagne for guests who prefer a sweeter wine. So now that I have helped with an important wedding question, I guess Im going to get busy planning my second wedding, even though all I really want is an excuse to dress up like a princess, have my man worship me one more time, and drink some really good wine, La Romantica Moscato, with great friends and family. So until next time, get your romance on with none other than La Romantica Moscato and end the evening with none other than...well, whatever you want!
The 411 on Wine brought to You by Shenanigans Wine & Spirits
This sweet white wine is fragrant and lightly sparkling. The beautiful bouquet wafts characteristics of honeysuckle, peaches & white blossoms.
La Romantica is a delicious dessert wine and perfect for events where romance is the key. There is no better wine for your wedding reception tables than La Romantica. Add the extra touch of romance to weddings, anniversaries, bachelorette parties and wedding showers.
Uncork LA ROMANTICA & uncork the romance.

DI CULT M OT H ER-I -LAW ? FFI N M O VE T O I LY! TA
Insights
with Flair
By Anne Murray
Which relationship is the source of 60% of all in-law problems?

1. Daughter-in-law (DIL) with Father-in-law (FIL) 2. Son-in-law (SIL) with Mother-in-law (MIL) 3. DIL with MIL 4. SIL with FIL
Despite the MIL jokes made by SILs, the real tension is between the husbands mother and new wife. The mother-son relationship is now triangulated. Suddenly, the mother is not sharing her son; she is relinquishing him to another woman. The DILs gain is the MILs loss. When another woman takes your man boy from you, its natural to resent her, not him. The hostility, mostly unconscious, is directed at the DIL and not the son. The son is often oblivious to the tension between the MIL and DIL, or he ignores it. In Italy, a study found that the odds that a marriage will last increase with every hundred yards that couples put between themselves and the in-laws. Italian courts have now ruled that a wife has the right to a legal separation if her husband is not effective in preventing his mother from invading their home. In Japan, women living with multigenerational families are two to three times more likely to experience coronary heart disease than women living with only the spouse.
T I FOR B EI A G OODM OT H ER-I PS NG N-LAW :

Treat your son and your DIL as if they are your best friends. Do not relate to them on a parent-child level; rather, relate to them as adult to adult. Show respect for them, avoid criticism, and listen when they speak. Redefine holidays. dont compete with your DILs family over where they spend holidays. This competition can result in the couple avoiding both families on holidays. Christmas can be celebrated December 28 or 20 or whenever you can see them. If both are working or young children are involved, you may need to visit them. Consider staying in a budget hotel to ease the tension. dont stay too long. The sage once said, In-laws are like dead fish; after three days, both stink! Allow your DIL to grow into being a wife and mother. Your knowledge came over many years. Allow her to make mistakes without comment. Ask questions. Ask for specific ways you can be helpful. Call to ask if it is convenient for you to drop by to see them. Honor any boundaries that they set, especially with their children. Forgive and forget any real or imagined slights from your DIL. She may be struggling to live up to her notions of your expectations for her. If she is employed outside the home, she is anticipating your criticism as she lets some things go that she would like to do. She imagines your criticism, so she hears it inside her head. The wise MIL will make sure that the criticism is only imagined. Remember that your DIL may become the daughter that you never had, the mother of your grandchildren, or the one who chooses your nursing home!

Smoke&
She is beautiful, yet always kind and gentle,
a special one who is so hard to find. She smiled and even spoke to me. In that moment, she captured my heart and mind. Feelings I never knew before overwhelmed me, strong emotions that could make a teardrop start. Visions of touching her soft skin appeared. A special tenderness entered my soul and heart. She is unaware of this intense desire I hold, for I try to never let these feelings show. I will always care for this one so lovely and gentle, but I feel that perhaps she will never know. In my fondest dreams, she knows how I feel. In my fondest dreams, she cares for me, too. I pray she will come close and tenderly touch me. Now, I must confess, She is really you. I know I should have never revealed my emotions, as my feelings overflow with tenderness and desire, but I fear it may be impossible to hide the smoke when my soul and heart are so much on fire.

Major Lauren Edwards, USMC

Warren East High School Graduate
By Sarah McCullum Lauren Edwards runs. She runs because she can. And because there are so many who cannot. She runs in new cities. She runs on the pavement outside her West Virginia home. And she runs, leading hundreds, across the Afghan desert. Edwards is a champion Marine long-distance runner and has served in the Marine Corps for 13 years. During her tour in Afghanistan, Edwards organized and executed the first Marine Corps Marathon ever to be brought to the country. The marathon is held every year in Arlington, Virginia and Washington D.C. But to Edwards, Afghanistan seemed like just as good a place as any. She wanted to give everyone something else on which to focus, something to escape the stresses of a typical work day. Over 250 people raced that day. Running alongside Edwards were members of the Army, Navy, Air Force, Coast Guard, National Guard, Marine Corps, British Army, Danish Army, civilian contractors, and even one Afghan soldier. Afterwards, the participants broke bread together. It was absolutely overwhelming and thrilling, she said. Bringing the Marine Corps Marathon to Afghanistan brought that Marine Corps kinship smack dab to a whole load of follks. To Edwards, the people around her are why she wakes up each morning and keeps dedicating her life to being a Marine. If you do it right, you can positively affect so many lives. You have a hand in changing the face of a nation; you have the ability to inspire and lead those around you, she said. During December of her sophomore year of college, her good friend and running partner was killed in a Marine Corps training accident. She said his death, and all that surrounded it, catapulted her to take the leap and become a Marine. Her desire was to take care of her friends like him and ensure they had the best leadership possible. Mothers and fathers trust you with their children, she said. They count on you to take care of them. Edwards has devoted her life to ensuring the safety of comrades and strangers, often at the expense of time spent with her family. The Marine Corps can easily consume my time and put any semblance of a personal life on the back burner. That said, I have to thank my family for always understanding the missed birthdays, holidays, or family events, Edwards said. Laurens family are longtime residents of Smiths Grove. Edwards has fought for her achievements. She found what she wanted and ran to it. Literally. Her position, her passion, and her people are ideals for which she is willing to lay down her life. Life is very short. So find what is important to you. Grab on to it. And do it, she said.
We Salute...

BOTOX FACT FICTION

and
By Dr. Leslie Campbell
MYTH #1: Botox is dangerous, poisonous, or will give you botulism. FACT: Botox has been around for over 20 years and around 3 million Botox procedures are done each year in the U.S. without any reported significant side effects. There is absolutely no way to get botulism from the Botox that is administered in a professional setting because the Botox is purified extensively and has no live proteins in it. As with any medication, Botox is safe with proper dosing and a trained professional to administer it. MYTH #2: If I get Botox injected for cosmetic purposes, it will cause a frozen face. FACT: Botox is designed to relax certain muscles so that skin can recover from the motions that cause wrinkles in that area. If too much Botox is injected into a certain muscle, then that muscle may lose the action of expression. If a properly trained Botox provider injects small doses into specific muscles, then the person can have a natural softening or smoothing of unwanted wrinkles without compromising facial expressions. Botox can give a natural youthful appearance if done properly. MYTH #3: Botox is painful. FACT: To receive Botox, a few tiny injections are given without the need for anesthesia. The needles are so small that most people feel a tiny sting that goes away immediately, or they feel nothing at all. MYTH #4: Botox is only used for cosmetic purposes. FACT: Botox is mainly used for cosmetic purposes such as smoothing or eliminating wrinkles on the face, but there are a wide range of other uses for Botox. As a dentist, I mainly inject Botox for TMJ discomfort. There are numerous individuals who have struggled with TMJ and jaw pain for years, and Botox is able to help relax the jaw muscles which cause most of this discomfort. This procedure is virtually painless and takes only a few seconds to complete. Results last from 3-6 months. MYTH #5: Botox is permanent and the results can permanently alter your face. FACT: Botox is NOT permanent and only lasts for 3-6 months. If you do not like the results of Botox, you simply wait a few months until it leaves the muscles. At this point, you gradually return to your original state and your face (or any other area that you received Botox) is unaltered. Regular use of Botox every 3-6 months obtains best results and often you will see the duration of the product last longer. For example, the first time you receive Botox, it may last for 3 months, but the next time you receive it, the results may last 4 or 5 months. Regular maintenance tends to make the product last longer between treatments.
Dr. Leslie Campbell attended Western Kentucky University for her undergraduate studies and graduated in 2003 from the University of Louisville School of Dentistry, where she also completed a year residency program in advanced dental training. She worked in a private dental practice in Louisville, Kentucky for 4 years before moving to Bowling Green. She now practices at Bluegrass Oral Health Center which is located in Bowling Green and also has satellite offices in Morgantown and Smiths Grove, Kentucky. She is interested in all aspects of general dentistry and also offers Botox injections at Bluegrass Oral Health Center. For further questions about Botox or dentistry, call 270-781-6161.

Grooming the
On their wedding day, most brides want to feel like Cinderella, and they want their bridegroom to look like Prince Charming, too. However, when it comes to preBy Jim Browning wedding grooming tips, many men are as clueless as a cartoon ogre, even in this modern metro-sexual world. Yet, more men are beginning to appreciate that looking good doesnt lessen their manly dignity. The grooms appearance on his wedding day is just as important as that of his beautiful bride. Here are seven simple tips for bridegrooms to follow to turn themselves from toadly to princely, prior to that long-awaited official first kiss: Dont risk a hair disaster on such a special day with a completely new hairstyle. A final haircut one week before the date allows enough time for a grooms hair to look freshly trimmed but not too newly cut. To avoid a shaving rash, try using a foam lathering agent, rather than a cream. Also, use plenty of hot water and shave only with a new, sharp razor in slow, short strokes in the direction the hair grows. Grooms who sport a beard should tidy and trim their facial hair a day or two before the wedding and should not forget to remove any unsightly nose and ear hair. For unwanted chest and back body hair, consider waxing. For a glow to rival that of the beaming bride, a facial will cleanse and exfoliate the skin and banish any blemishes. As they can leave some residual redness, facials should be done no later than three days before the wedding.
Groom

A manicure is mandatory to make fingernails presentable for those close-up photographs of register signings and rings, and a pedicure will provide beach-ready feet for newlyweds headed for tropical destinations. For a clean, kissable mouth and a dazzling photogenic smile, teeth should be brushed thoroughly, along with cleaning the tongue, followed by flossing and the use of an oral neutralizing mouthwash. Keep chewing gum handy for after consuming food and beverages, too. Sweating may be a problem for some grooms due to nervousness and indoor spaces that are overheated or over crowded, so using an effective anti-perspirant/ deodorant will help prevent any unwanted body odor or unsightly sweat patches; however, cologne should be used sparingly.
1 3 4
While many of these tips can be performed by the prospective groom himself at little cost, some may require the paid assistance of a trusted professional, especially haircuts, waxing, and facials. Since brides go to great lengths to look like princesses for their future husbands, grooms should take the small steps required to look less like a common pauper and more like a crowned prince. For many couples, weddings are a once-in-a-lifetime experience, the memory of which they cherish forever in their hearts. When the time comes, youll both be more proud to show your wedding pictures to your grandchildren when grandpa looks more like Prince Charming and less like Shrek.

Jennifer Jimenez grew up as a people pleaser. Making other people smile and happy has been an underlying driving force in my life, Jennifer says. That driving force and a few other circumstances led Jennifer to her vocation, owner of The Smitten Bride Inc. , an all-inclusive wedding planning business in Chicago, Illinois. Jennifer, a native of Owensboro, came to Bowling Green in 2002 as a WKU student. When she graduated from Western in 2005, she left Bowling Green to travel the world! This fueled my passion for art, style, and different cultures, Jennifer explained. That passion, coupled with her natural desire to make people happy, provided the working formula for her career. Jennifer started working weddings with her then boyfriend, now her husband, who is a wedding photographer. Jennifer noticed that weddings are such a happy, special time for families, but she also realized that most brides need help to pull everything together for their big day. She has obviously done many things right! Her business, The Smitten Bride Inc., has been honored as Best of the Knot for Chicago . The business has also been featured on TLC (The Learning Channel) , a cable TV specialty channel owned by Discovery Communications. When asked why one should hire a wedding planner, Jennifer explains: 1) IT SAVES TIME - the wedding planner does all the calling, ordering, and detail work, large and small; 2) IT SAVES MONEY - wedding planners have valuable contacts with vendors who give them discounts and special advantages; 3) IT SAVES STRESS - There are so many unexpected circumstances that need to be dealt with - even the day of the wedding. The wedding planner heads off and solves all problems so the family can just enjoy the day; and... 4) IT SAVES CONFUSION - the wedding planner makes detailed itineraries for all involved (including vendors) assuring that everything happens on time. Jennifers artistic talent, craft expertise, and organizational skills have paved the way to her true passion - coordinating one of the happiest days of a couples life.

Law by Day...Rock n Roll by Night!

John McCracken How does a successful attorney and family man transform into a singer/guitar player...with a little luck and PRACTICE! John McCracken started playing piano when he was 6 years old and gravitated to guitar when he was 12. By the time John was in high school in Franklin, Kentucky, he was in a rock band playing gigs at high school and local parties. We thought we were much better than we really were, John remembers. The Rewinders Music became a way to earn extra money when John was a WKU student. Bennie Beach, who kept him busy playing 5 or 6 nights a week at venues like Briarpatch, Parakeet, and college events, managed him. As a guitar minor in college, John seriously planned to pursue a career in music. Then one day, my dad invited me to lunch for a serious, come-toJesus meeting. Dad asked me to consider whether I thought I could support myself and a family in the music world. Shortly after that conversation, John was offered a job as a session guitarist at Warner Brothers. Remembering the conversation with his Dad, John asked the Warner Bros. representative, In 5 years will I have a job with you guys? When the answer was No guarantees in this business, John realized he was at the proverbial fork in the road. He turned the job down, finished his senior year at WKU, and entered law school at Cumberland School of Law, Stamford University, in Birmingham, Alabama. Thus began an 18-year hiatus from music. Then in 2001, John saw an ad in the newspaper that invited vocalists to audition for the Beatles group with the Bowling Green Orchestra. He got the part! That was the start of a rewarding outlet for a rocker at heart! John has been playing and singing with the Rewinders for 11 years now. They perform with orchestras to do shows such as Beatlemania, Eagles Tribute, 70s Show, Mo-Town, Country Show, 1 Hit Wonders, Rockin Christmas, and British Invasion. John has loved getting to play with the orchestra, travel, and meet new people. He also loves working with the Rewinders band members who are dedicated to doing what it takes to give the audience their moneys worth! I would never have thought, 20 years ago, that I would end up playing in a rock band with an orchestra as back up. Johns dad died in 1994, so he never got to see his seriousminded attorney son rockin on stage. However, John says, I know he watches me. John is a partner with the law firm McCracken and Judd, PLLC.

Mirrors are truly ornaments in our homes. Their reflective surfaces can make a room look larger, pick up natural light and disperse it through a room, or, when grouped together, they can complete a room by becoming a collective piece of art. I have thought for as long as I can remember that there should always be a mirror in every room. But my new view on mirrors is the power they possess when By Liz Bradley grouped together. With most groupings on a wall, there has to be some cohesive element in the design, such as the same color or finish, the same shape, or the same subject. However, mirror / mir r/[mir-er]noun with mirrors, the cohesive element is the mirror itself. Because of this, 1. a reflecting surface, originally of polished metal you can mix and match every color, metal, shape and size and but now usually of glass with a silvery, metallic, they still look and feel like a planned out design. or amalgam backing. Mirrors translate into every design style. If youre into a funky, 2. such a surface set into a frame, attached to a handle, etc., for use in viewing oneself or as an vintage vibe, the old ornate mirrors that your grandmother once ornament. proudly hung can get a face lift with a vibrant coat of orange, turquoise, or red. And if youre really brave you can paint each mirror a different color, but still hang as a group. If your style is more modern and sleek, you can focus on square or rectangle frames with simple lines and hang them very close together. They will begin to look like one large but simple piece of art. Once you have established what style you are and the type of frame to use, you then have to decide where the group of mirrors will go in your home. Try to remember the areas that might not be considered the prime real estate. The wall space in a hall or a stairway can become highlights of your home when given the opportunity to shine with mirrors. The prime real estate like the mantel or wall behind the sofa will always make a brilliant display when given the reflective treatment. There is really no place in your home that a mirror cant affect, and a group of mirrors makes that effect shine just a little brighter.
Your home is a reflection of you. So, dont just let your little light shine REFLECT it!
