Healthy eating includes mental makeover | Timi Gustafson
June 24, 2008 2:14 am

Talking to people about the importance of dietary matters is not always easy. More often than not, health counselors are perceived by their own patients as puritans, naggers, task masters and spoilers of fun – especially when the need for significant lifestyle changes is involved. I’m sure I’ve been called some less than flattering names by my own clientele.

First off, I won’t be endorsing either of the presidential candidates. I made myself a promise long ago to only vote for famous ex-athletes and movie stars. But I do think that we should consider which one will best serve the suburbs. The candidates plan on touring the country and holding “town hall-style” debates, which I guess are like regular debates, except afterward Shriners serve punch. Should they come here, forget the typical questions about healthcare or NAFTA — they’ll have prepared answers for those. Here are a few questions that, if posed, should tell us in suburbia all we need to know:

Conservationist calls on Kirkland shoreline supporters
Conservationist calls on Kirkland shoreline supporters
June 2, 2008 6:21 pm

Kirkland is fortunate to have a long shoreline that is one of the city’s most treasured and attractive features. Two of my favorite places in the city are Juanita Bay and Yarrow Bay, where I love to kayak along the natural shorelines without disturbing wildlife.
That’s why I am encouraging all those who care about Kirkland’s shorelines to participate in an Open House set for Monday, June 9, from 6:30-8:30 p.m. at Heritage Hall, 203 Market Street.

Pre-school picking angst: Where to put my pro-athletes-to-be?
Pre-school picking angst: Where to put my pro-athletes-to-be?
June 2, 2008 6:20 pm

My twin sons are now about six weeks old – so, naturally, it’s time to begin applying to private preschools. I considered starting this process two weeks ago, but I believe kids need a chance to be kids.
I’m not opposed to sending them to public school. I believe in the Second Amendment right to bear arms. I’d just like them taught by someone other than a history major who couldn’t find a better job.

June 2, 2008 6:20 pm

They rushed over from soccer practice, dropped homework and headed over to the construction site that will soon be the Weber family’s renovated Norkirk home.
But instead of gossiping about the latest developments on “American Idol,” around a dozen teens from local junior high schools stood in rapt attention as the Webers spoke about solar voltaic energy, green roofing and radiant heating. Welcome to The Next Generation’s latest meeting.
The club is the brainchild of Kate Bebee and Meghan Demeter, who started it in 2006 after seeing the Al Gore documentary “An Inconvenient Truth.” The club has been abuzz for months after a Discovery Channel film crew visited the Weber home.

Combat an aging mind with exercise, ‘brain fitness’
Combat an aging mind with exercise, ‘brain fitness’
May 28, 2008 12:00 am

It was only a matter of time, of course, before the health and fitness industry discovered its next big thing. “Brain fitness” is the new fad – and not only among the aging Baby Boomers. It’s never too early to exercise your brain, we’re informed. If we can fight our physical decline every inch of the way, we surely should be able to do something against the decay of our minds.

During Kirkland Performance Center’s opening week in 1998, we felt it was important to have an open house — not just an opportunity to come in and check the place out, but a chance to experience the variety of performances the KPC had to offer. To make this happen, we undertook the huge task of presenting seven, one-hour long free performances in a single day. It was our Community Open House.

Suburbanites rarely suffer like those who live in other parts of the world. This column reaches into our plush lives to find a shred of common ground with the folks affected by the Myanmar cyclone or China earthquakes. The best way to maintain our humility and thankfulness for our good lives is to realize how crappy it can be for others.
