from the publisher
The start of a new year
brings a fresh perspective
and opportunities to make
positive changes in daily
routines. It also provides a
time for reflection. We’re
excited to bring you our
first Vitality magazine of
francis wick, publisher 2015, focused exactly on
those themes.
If you’re looking at ways to shed a few
pounds — and who isn’t after the holidays —
you will want to read up on Volksmarching, a
tried and true walking path through historic
Bisbee. The trek takes you to the top of
staircases that provide an idyllic view of the
city’s eclectic landscape, then returns you to the
warming environs of the Copper Queen Hotel
where even the most dedicated dieter deserves
a hearty meal.
If walking isn’t your “thing,” learn more
about bicycling from our behind-the-scenes
interview with the crew at M&M Cycling
in Sierra Vista. Regardless of your age or
condition, bicycling offers a fun way to improve
your health, riding along more than 20 miles of
multi-use paths in the community that feature
spectacular mountain vistas and safe passage.
We’ve got tips on eating right and an
encouraging story about a woman who lost
more than 70 pounds using an app on her
smartphone.
When you’re tired from all that exercise,
take a minute to think about your family. Jean
Walker, who teaches an introductory class
at Cochise College in genealogy, provides an
overview and a few insights on how to get
started learning more about your family. Jean
has traced her heritage to the 1700s and
combines the modern-day advantage of the
Internet with the skill of knowing what to look
for in a public record to find out where and
when your relatives were making history.
We’re confident that this edition of Vitality
offers just the right mix of useful post-holiday
information with a pleasing presentation of
photos and graphics to qualify it as a “keeper”
in your collection.

may consider the region as rural, for the 99 citizens
of Koyukuk, Alaska, this corner of Southeastern Arizona would be regarded as a veritable metropolis.
With average annual temperatures of 25.4° F,
more than 55 inches of yearly snowfall, and transportation limited to plane or boat, it is fair to say
that access to fresh food is somewhat scant – unless
you plan to exist on a diet of moose and beaver.
This was the situation Barbara Fleming found herself in when she accepted the position of Koyukuk’s
city manager in 2010.
“There are no grocery stores there. Everything has
to be shipped in,” she said. “When you have temperatures that are routinely below zero, any fresh
produce you order is ruined after it’s spent time on
a plane and snowmobile.”
The breakdown of her marriage to the man she
met while still at high school in Texas saw Barbara
swap the mountain resort town of Ruidoso, N.M.,
(population 8,029) for the remoteness of America’s
least densely populated state.
“I had been looking to go international when Alaska came up,” recalls the 47-year-old, who is now
the City of Sierra Vista’s human resources manager.
“I thought it would be a great opportunity and I
wanted to do something I’d never done before.”

phone app helped
Barbara shed

When she arrived in Koyukuk,
Barbara weighed a svelte 150
pounds and was ready to take on
a new adventure. A little over two
years later, and she left not only
with lifelong friendships and memories, but with an additional 67
pounds on her 5-ft.-6-inch frame.
“The people there live off the
land, fishing and hunting, but that
wasn’t me. So I discovered Amazon
Prime, which ships free to Alaska,
and ordered in my groceries,” Barbara said. “Since you couldn’t order
anything fresh, I was eating a lot of
processed foods and canned goods.
Your life also revolves around being
social. There are no restaurants
or movie theatres and the people
I worked with wanted to learn to
cook what I cooked. So I was making things like nachos, Alfredo sauce
and tacos.
“I also had a popcorn machine
shipped in so we could have movie
nights, but it never crossed my
mind how unhealthy it was.”
Thanks to the forgiving, expansive
arctic gear that Barbara was wearing
on a daily basis, she did not pay attention to the extra pounds she was
gaining.
It was not until she left Koyukuk
bound for Sierra Vista, and had to
undergo a physical, that she realized
how much the weight had piled on.
“I didn’t have any scales so
I’d never weighed myself. Seven
months of the year you’re wearing
arctic gear with a lot of stretching
and Velcro, and it’s designed to
go over several layers,” she said.
“When I had my physical they
thought I should have my thyroid
tested because there was such a
difference from when I had my first
physical. But I knew what it was.
I had become a soda addict, I was
eating nothing but processed foods
and I was drinking alcohol calories.
My blood pressure was OK and my
cholesterol wasn’t high, but I knew
it wouldn’t be long before I was
heading there.”
Before starting her role with the
City of Sierra Vista, Barbara headed
back to Ruidoso to collect the belongings she had stored during her
Alaskan stint. It was then that the
weight gain really hit home.
“I wore jeans every day in Alaska
and stored all of my other clothes,
and I didn’t have a single piece of
clothing that fit me,” she said. “I
had nothing I could wear for this
new job and so I had to go out and
buy a whole new wardrobe.
“I knew I had gained weight, but
until then I had not really realized
how much. I was buying women’s
sizes, rather than the smaller sizes I
had been used to.
“But one of the biggest things for
me was looking in the mirror and
seeing my face. I hadn’t worn makeup in Alaska, and I realized I wasn’t
really looking at me. I was looking at a face bloated by processed
food.”
After allowing herself time to
settle into her new life, Barbara
decided it was time to take stock of
the situation and, more importantly,
to do something about it.
“I knew that I couldn’t just go on
a diet,” she said. “I had to make
use of all the tools out there and
make a lifestyle change, because
I never wanted to be back there
again.”
Plugging in her
daily calories allows
her to have better
control over what
she eats, but also
proved to be a
wake up call when
she discovered the
caramel macchiato
she was buying at
Starbucks on a daily
basis contained
nearly half of her
recommended
calorie intake.

“I had lost 50 pounds and I had
a great time. When I got back I had
gained five pounds, but I just got
straight back into things,” she said.
Using the Fat Secret app has played
a large part in Barbara’s weight loss
success, which has seen her lose 70
pounds, bringing her clothing size
back to an eight.
Plugging in her daily calories allows
her to have better control over what

Cutting those out, along with filling
up on low calorie foods such as fish
and vegetables, while still allowing
herself the occasional splurge, has
produced the results she wanted.

“So I picked a date, May 1, 2013, and had no doubt in my mind that I
would be back to 150 pounds by the time I went home for Christmas.”
Through a combination of a high protein diet, exercise, and making use
of smartphone apps such as Fat Secret, Barbara swiftly lost 25 pounds.
She joined an aqua Zumba class at The Cove - overcoming her fear of
wearing a bathing suit in public - drank as much water as she could consume and managed to break her soda addiction.
“It was hard, but I came off it,” she recalls. “That was the start of
that first 25 pounds, which I had lost by July. I felt so much better and
I knew that I could finish this. It was enough of a loss to make me feel
confident, and it was when people started to notice and comment on my
weight loss.”
And although she had not achieved her weight goal of 150 pounds by
the time Christmas 2013 rolled around, Barbara knew she was heading
in the right direction.

explained Barbara, who also uses an
at-home trampoline to stay active
while watching episodes of “Criminal
Minds.”
“I eat small quantities and often,
such as almonds, lean meats and
some cheese, and I’m never hungry.
And instead of having mayo on my
sandwich I have mustard. It tastes

When asked what words of advice
she would give to other women struggling to lose weight, she says, “Pick

all seems. Start every day with water
and be happy with every goal you
make. Every time I reached a new
size I bought new clothes, because no

Eating well
with
healthy
foods
“Organic food can be expensive because of the labor involved, but
we feel our people need to be able to eat well,” said Janice, who runs
the operation with her husband Byron. “Our employees get to buy
the food at super discounted prices because they have worked hard
and deserve to have good food. I feel it’s a privilege to help our team
members.”
Founded 18 years ago on a remote piece of property at East Gaskill
Road, Sunizona Family Farms has grown into one of the state’s largest certified organic farms.
Its wide range of produce, to include tomatoes, cucumbers, egg
plant, green beans, radishes, lettuce, micro greens and root vegetables, can be found in Whole Food Stores, as well as in the Sierra
Vista and Bisbee Food Co-ops.
Additionally, the property’s popular farm boxes are delivered to
drop off points across southern Arizona – as far north as Phoenix –
allowing individuals to pick their own items online from the greenhouses, salad house and on-site bakery.
The year-round operation, which also receives help from Janice’s
three daughters, delivered just two farm boxes in 2011. That number has bloomed to 700 a week.
Moira Hagerlin, manager of the Sunizona
Family Farms salad house, moves different
types of lettuce and micro greens.

If there is one thing that Janice Smith believes in, it’s sharing the
health.
So much so, her employees have found a benefit of working at Sunizona Family Farms can be to shed some unwanted baggage.
Among them is Christine Glockner who, since starting work at the
certified organic site near Willcox nearly two years ago, has lost more
than 50 pounds.
“Before I came here I was working at a convenience store where I
was surrounded by soda and chips. I weighed 200 pounds,” said the
28-year-old crop worker, who stands at 5 feet, 1 inch tall.
“My mother-in-law had started to influence me when it came to organic food, but it’s being here that’s really set it in for me. I cut out the
chips and soda and started to eat the food that’s grown here. This is
also an active job, which helped melt the pounds off.”
Quite a few of the female workforce, who account for half of the 24
people on the Sunizona payroll, have similar stories and owner Janice,
54, is delighted.

People only have one

and eating well sure is
going to help.”
“My mission and passion is to be able to grow the
best quality, organic food available. People only have
one shot at their health and eating well sure is going to
help,” Janice, originally from British Columbia, Canada,
said. “We want them to have easy access and to know
that it was sustainably produced.”
The Smiths have gone to great lengths to ensure only
natural materials are used to produce the 4,000 to
5,000 pounds of items harvested on a weekly basis.
The greenhouse temperatures are controlled via water
pipes heated by burning pecan shells, sourced locally,
and the ash is then used to feed the soil. The farm’s fertilizing pellets are made only from alfalfa, mixed beans,
legumes and tomato leaves.
“There is a lot of dishonesty that happens in the food
industry,” Janice said. “People usually don’t have a clue
what goes into their fast food meals. Our farm gives an
opportunity to help in such a good way. Growing good
food is a great privilege.”

“Who knows only his own
generation, remains always a child.”
I
Genealogy a
fun, surprising
lifetime hobby
22
nscribed above the doors of the University of
Colorado’s library, this quote is a daily reminder
to students that history has its part to play in our
future.
And Jean Walker could not agree more.
For more than 30 years, she has been delving into the
past to complete the missing pieces of her family puzzle.
Along the way, she has not only gathered enlightening
information about her ancestors, but also has gained
enough experience to help others explore their roots.
Every semester Jean can be found teaching an Introduction to Genealogy Research class at Cochise College.
“I started genealogy back in the early ’80s,” said
Hereford-based Jean. “It was a combination of family
members hitting a certain age and me wanting more
information, and because I had grown up with only one
grandparent, and lost my dad when I was 15. It left a lot
of gaps to fill.”
Three decades ago, the hunt for your heritage was done
the old school way, with visits to libraries, courts and universities to track down public records.
These days, however, the Internet and genealogy websites
take a lot of the legwork out of building a family tree.
But there is still a lot of hard work, patience and detective
work involved, said Jean, who has so far traced her family’s
line back to the 1700s.
“The starting point is to collect as much information as
you can from family members,” she advises. “A lot of times
they will know more than you think they know.”
“You’ll also be surprised at the information you can find
in old boxes and scrapbooks. The older generations were letter writers and they kept newspaper cuttings. Those can be
very valuable.”
There are a couple of forms that Jean recommends to
help get the information you gather down on paper to begin
growing your family tree.
The first is a family group record, which shows at least
the names of the husband, wife and any children. Blank
family group records are available for free through a number
of genealogy sites such as Ancestry.com or FamilySearch.
org.
The second is an Ahnentafel, a German system that uses
numbers to keep track of direct family lines. It creates a
continuous numbered list of ancestors, instead of a chart,
and can be created through software on sites such as Ancestry.com.

information you can find in old
boxes and scrapbooks.

Vital Records
When it comes to finding
information and verifying it,
there are three vital records
you should try and track
down, according to Jean.
“There is a lot you can
gather from birth, marriage
and death certificates,” she
said. “A birth certificate,
for example, may show if
a child was illegitimate, if
there were any birth defects,
who the parents were and
their dates of birth, and
where they lived.
“A marriage certificate will
have the parents of the bride
and groom and the names
of the witnesses, which are
often family members.
“All of these things are
clues and they lay out a
path which allows you to
research further.”
25
“It’s the best reality show ever
and you can tune in whenever you want to.”
Free resources
available
As a nation built on immigration, a large number of American
families can only trace their roots
in this country so far (records in
the U.S. go back to the 1700s),
before they have to cross over to
other countries. This can add further complications to the research
process.
“You almost have to become an
expert in what you are researching,” explained Jean. “How many
wars did that country participate in? You have to understand
what a war could have done to
that country. What records were
destroyed? Why did a family
member choose to come here?
Genealogy crosses so many disciplines, from history and politics
to social economics.
“It’s a lifetime hobby and you
have to devote the time to it when
you can. But it’s the best reality
show ever and you can tune in
whenever you want to.”
Genealogy can be an expensive hobby, depending
on subscriptions to websites, document fees, and
travel.
There are, however, free and low cost resources
available, including some close to home.
Family History Centers
Family History Centers are branches of FamilySearch.org and the Family History Library run by the
Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in Salt Lake
City, Utah.
Its goal is to provide resources to assist in the research and study of genealogy and family history.
Services include one-on-one assistance, access to
genealogical records through the Internet or microloan film program, and free classes.
There are more than 4,700 centers in 134 countries
and there is no cost to visit one.
The Sierra Vista Family History Center is at 115 N.
Highway 90 Bypass (520-459-1284) and the Bisbee
center is located at 611 Melody Lane (520-432-3122).
Ancestry Library
Public libraries, including in Sierra Vista and Bisbee,
offer in-library access only to Ancestry.com for no
charge.
Records cover the United Kingdom and the U.S.
with census, vital, military, court and immigration records. There also are record collections from Canada,
Europe and other areas and more than four billion
names are covered.
Sierra Vista Genealogy Club
The Sierra Vista Genealogy Club is a project of
the Sierra Vista Historical Society and is hosted by
members of the Tombstone Chapter of the National
Society of the Daughters of the American Revolution.
The club meets on the first Wednesday of the
month, October through May, at the Ethel Berger
Center, 2950 E. Tacoma St., from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. and
offers free classes. Anyone is welcome to attend. For

“That will help you place your family and to get an
idea of the people in your family,” said Jean. “Then
you have to step yourself back from there.”
The advent of Ancestry.com has done much to help
the genealogy process, adds Jean.
“It really has done a lot to bridge that long distance
research,” she said. “But you also find a lot of people
do trees without first verifying the information. The
only time I take information from someone else’s tree
is if I can verify it.
“When you are doing genealogy you have to be a
critical researcher. Are you viewing a true document
or something that’s been copied multiple times? How
good was the person who took the information on the
document? In a lot of cases names of immigrants have
been Americanized.”

such as freckles. I just start blending and adding.”
A hairdresser and make-up artist for more than three decades,
Lilo decided it was time to take a
new direction last year.
“I’ve home schooled five kids
and my youngest is 17, so I’m
almost done with that,” she said.
“I wanted to do something else
but had no idea what that would
be. Then a friend asked me if I’d
considered being a permanent
make-up artist. I had no idea
what that involved, but when I
researched it I started looking at
the medical side.
“The medical side and the beauty side tie in together. I’ve always
loved art and making people feel
better and the two work symbiotically.”
Extensive training resulted
in Lilo opening her own business, Permanent Attitude, about
eight months ago. Specializing in
covering scars, burns and tattoos,
Sierra Vista-based Lilo also helps
women left with blemishes or
disfigurements, following breast
cancer surgery.
“If someone’s had a mastectomy
and then reconstruction surgery, I
can help make it look better with
permanent make-up,” she said.
“It’s basically a painting on the
breast. I can recreate the areola
(the area surrounding the nipples)
and blend in the scars so it almost
looks like they haven’t had surgery. I can even add nodules and
veins.”
Utilizing her years of make-up
artistry, Lilo also provides permanent make-up services. This side
Lilo Buppert uses a permanent
makeup pen to transform unsightly
scars and burns.
Viewing a beautiful piece of artwork can be an emotional experience
for some. For those who own one of Lilo Buppert’s creations, it can be
life changing.
As a paramedical micro-pigmentation specialist, Lilo offers help to
anyone who wishes to be rid of an unsightly scar, burn or acne marks,
or who may require restorative work following breast surgery.
Her artistic skills and attention to detail can transform an ugly mark
on someone’s skin to something barely noticeable and, more often than
not, lead to a better quality of life for her clients.
She does not regard her work as a clinical process, but rather a blank
canvas on which to create a masterpiece.
With the aid of a hand held, permanent make-up “pen”, the motherof-five applies layers of pigment with the goal of matching the client’s
natural skin tones as closely as possible.
“It’s almost like a watercolor painting,” she explained. “I spend a lot
of time mixing the colors. I mix the pigments one little drop at a time
to create a base coat. After about a month, the client returns and I

Emergency Angels without Wings
Lilo Buppert,

Permanent
Attitude, sits in
her office on
Wilcox Drive in
Sierra Vista.
Kristina Schulz
of her business goes way beyond vanity, she explains.
“There are many different reasons
why someone would choose to have
permanent make-up,” she said. “If
someone has lost their hair due to a
medical condition like alopecia then
I can give them their eyebrows back.
If they wear a wig they don’t have to
then worry about having no eyebrows
BEFORE
30
and they can feel normal.
“Some women have severe allergies
to make-up and just can’t wear it, or
there are older women who thought
it was cool in the ’70s to pluck their
eyebrows and then found they didn’t
grow back. I work to make it look as
natural as possible – it doesn’t have to
be garish.”
No matter the reason for helping her
clients, Lilo always keeps the artistic
element front and center.
“Making people feel good about
themselves is a personal need for me,”
she said. “They don’t hang my art on
their wall, they wear it on their body
every day. That’s a very personal connection.”

AFTER
ED Staff Nurse
Sierra Vista Regional Health Center
There are two reasons why I became
a nurse 15 years ago. I like working
with people and helping them. I also
cared for my niece before she died
from a brain tumor. She told me she
knew I would be a good nurse and she
always gave me encouragement.
The most rewarding thing about
my job is taking care of and meeting
people. I know this is a crazy place to
meet people, but I know I am doing
something great. When patients come
back and tell me I made them feel better, or I helped to save their husband,
it makes me realize this is my true
calling.
The biggest challenge is that we
live in a rural community but have
so many patients. Our hospital is a
good size but it’s hard when people
are so sick and sometimes we have to
send them to other places. We want
to do the best for all our patients.
Sometimes the emergency department
gets so busy and overwhelming, and
I think that’s the biggest challenge we
face.
Glenda Trevino
ED Nurse/CPR Instructor
Copper Queen Hospital, Bisbee
I became a nurse because I have
always had a fascination with health,
even when I was a young child. My
aunt was a nurse, which I think had
an influence. I’ve also had a strong
desire since childhood to help others.
I became an ER nurse 15 years ago
when I came to the Copper Queenn
Community Hospital. I was interested in the energy of the ER and the
fact there’s always something different every day.
The best thing about being a nurse
is the different skills you get to use
on a day-to-day basis. It’s always
changing. I can go from treating newborns to the elderly and you have to
use different skills for each one.
For me, the biggest challenge in
this job is the constant changes in
health care. There’s always something new to learn or research. Nothing ever stays the same. I’m always
doing online classes, or reading
articles to stay up-to-date. I’m also
a CPR instructor so I am constantly
updating my skills.
Kathy Lodge
ED Clinical Coordinator/Educator
Sierra Vista Regional Health Center
Becoming a nurse was a late in life
choice for me. I’d had a bad experience at the emergency department
about nine years ago and instead of
being a complainer, I decided to do
something positive to help change
things. So I went to nursing school
at Cochise College. Before becoming
a nurse I had been a store manager
and I had loved working with people
there. So I think becoming a nurse
sort of involves the same thing, working and caring for people, but in a
different field.
I grew up in Sierra Vista and so
the most rewarding part of my job is
getting to take care of the people that
I have known and lived with, and
shared experiences with. That really
is the best part of what I do.
The biggest challenge for me, I
think, is the job itself. It’s always
changing and you are constantly
learning and I love the challenge of
doing that. You always have to keep
up with what’s going on and stay on
top of the latest changes.

Build an emergency fund to avoid
taking a loan to pay for unexpected
purchases. Putting aside 50 cents a day
over one year will allow you to save nearly
40% of a $500 emergency fund.
Take the amount an item costs and
divide it into your hourly wage. If it’s a
$50 pair of shoes and you earn $10 an
hour, ask yourself if those shoes are worth
five hours of work.
Substitute plain coffee for expensive
(and often calorie laden) coffee drinks.
The $2 a day you’ll likely save over a year
could fund a $500 emergency fund.
Shop for food with a list and stick to
it. People who shop with a list spend less
than someone who decides what to buy at
the grocery store.
Buy less juice and soda and drink
water instead. It will save you money and
it’s healthy.
Buy store brand over-the-counter
medications, which can cost 20 to 40
percent less than other advertised brands.
Ask your doctor to consider
prescribing generic drugs, which can cost
several hundred dollars less annually than
brand-name drugs.
Ask your bank to automatically
transfer funds each month into a savings
account, even if it’s only $10.
Raise the deductibles on auto and
homeowners’ insurance. Being willing to
pay $500 to $1,000 on a claim, rather
than $100 to $250, can reduce annual
premiums by several hundred dollars.
Assess your need for life insurance
coverage. If your children have now left
home, or if your spouse works, you may
not need as much life insurance
protection.
Keep your car engine tuned and its
tires inflated to their proper pressure.
Doing both can save you up to $100 a
year in gas.
Ask your local electric or gas utility
for a free or low-cost home energy audit.
The audit may reveal inexpensive ways to
reduce home heating and cooling by
hundreds of dollars.
Weatherproof your home. Caulk
holes and cracks that let warm air escape
in the winter and cold air in the summer.
Research free or inexpensive
entertainment in your community. Use the
Sierra Vista Herald/Bisbee Daily Review
and local websites to learn about free or
low cost museums, parks, sports events
etc.
Give up premium cable channels, or
cable altogether. It’s a lot cheaper to rent
one film a week than to watch one on a
premium cable channel.

Bicycling 101
Thinking about ditching four
wheels for two, but don’t know
where to start? Vitality turned to
the experts at M&M Cycling for
some beginner bicycling advice…
With more than 20 miles of multi-use
paths winding through the city, Sierra
Vista is a great place to hone your biking
skills, believes long time cyclist Mike
Baltunis.
“If you rode all the safe areas between
the paths also, there’s probably about
30 miles,” said Mike, who loves to ride
with his wife and three children.
For the past 18 years, Mike and
business partner Martin Coll have been
helping the residents of Cochise County
enjoy the near perfect, year-round
weather, long straight highways and
mountain vistas from the perspective of
two wheels rather than four.
They are well versed in dealing with
all levels of riders, from beginners to
champions.
“The
Paths are great for family outings
first thing we ask someone new to riding
is where they want to ride. Is it on dirt,
just streets, a bit of both, or will it be
mountain biking?” said Mike. “Around
here, people are usually going to be
riding on both dirt and streets, as well
as the bike paths. And if you plan to do
long distances, then we’re going to guide
you to a different bike.
“If you’re not sure what type of riding
you’ll be doing then we usually recommend a mountain bike, because then it
can be used anywhere.”
For the casual beginner, Mike recommends a hybrid bike.“They put you in a
nice, upright position and they’re very
comfortable,” he said.
It is also important, he adds, to be
properly measured for your bike. When
you buy from a department store, the
bikes all come in one size – medium. A
specialized store will offer five or six size
options and work with you to ensure
you buy the right bike for your height,
body shape and weight.
“When you get the wrong sized bike it
can cause discomfort.
You won’t have the correct leg extension and you can be hunched over,”
Mike explained. “You should have the
bike matched to your leg length and
torso.”
And just like when you buy a car,
Mike highly recommends taking two
or three different bikes for a test ride
before making your final choice.
Once you have picked the perfect ride
– prices can range from $300 upwards
– it is important to buy a helmet. “Children under 16 have to wear a helmet,
and it’s required for everyone on Fort
Huachuca,” said Mike. “But there really
is no excuse for not wearing one, especially as they are so light these days.”
One of the great aspects of cycling,
adds Mike, is that it can be enjoyed by
people just about any age.
“We have tiny trikes for young children and we have a customer who is 93
and rides every day,” he said. “
We also get older ladies who come in
and haven’t ridden since they were girls.
They may be a bit shaky at first, but it
soon comes back. You never forget how
to ride a bike.”
For those setting out for the first
time – or for the first time in a
long time – Mike believes a ride of
about five miles is a good first goal.
“It takes a while for the body to
get used to the seat,” he said.
And the health benefits of riding
on a more regular basis are always
worth the effort.
“Riding is great for cardio
vascular. A lot of former runners take up biking if they can’t
run anymore,” said Mike. “It
just creates joy when you
peddle a bike.”

How to stay
safe on 2 wheels
While bicycle riding is fun and
healthy, it’s important to stay safe.
Follow these tips from the National
Highway Traffic Safety Administration
to make the most of your ride.
m Wear a properly fitted bicycle
helmet. More than 60 percent of bicycling injuries are the result of the rider
failing to wear a helmet.
m Check your equipment. Before
riding, inflate tires properly and check
that your brakes work.
m See and be seen. Always wear
neon, fluorescent or other bright colors
when riding day or night. Always wear
something reflective, such as reflective
tape or markings or flashing lights.
m Control your bike. Always ride
with at least one hand on the handle-
bars. Carry any items you may have in
a bicycle carrier or backpack.
m Watch out for and avoid road
hazards. Be on the lookout for hazards
such as potholes, broken glass, gravel,
puddles, leaves and dogs.
m Avoid riding at night. It is far
more dangerous to ride at night than
during the day because you are harder
for others to see. If you have to ride at
night, wear something that makes you
more easily seen. Make sure you have
reflectors on the front and rear of your
bicycle, in addition to reflectors on
your tires.
m Go with the traffic flow. Ride on
the right in the same direction as other
vehicles.
m Obey all traffic laws. A bicycle is a
vehicle and you are the driver. Obey all
traffic signs, signals and lane markings.
m Yield to traffic when appropriate.
Almost always, drivers on a smaller
road must yield for traffic on a major
or larger road. If there is no stop sign
or traffic signal and you are coming
from a smaller roadway (driveway,
sidewalk, bike path etc.) you must
slow down and look to see if the way
is clear before proceeding. This also
means yielding to pedestrians who
have already entered a crosswalk.
m Be predictable. Ride in a straight
line, not in and out of cars. Signal
your move to others.
m Stay alert at all times. You need
your ears to hear traffic and avoid
dangerous situations; don’t wear headphones when you ride.
m Look before turning. When turning left or right, always looks behind
you for a break in the traffic, then
signal before making the turn. Watch
for left or right turning traffic.

just about every
type of bicycle
one could ask for.

Originating in Germany in the 1960s,
volksporting is a personal fitness sports
and recreation program offering noncompetitive walks, hikes, bike rides and
swimming.
Walking, also called volksmarching, is
the most popular of the activities.
In the United States, volkssporting is
sponsored by the American Volkssport
Association, which has a network of about
300 clubs, including the Thunder Mountain Trekkers in Sierra Vista.
The Trekkers sponsor several weekend
and eight year-round walks in Sierra Vista,
Naco, Bisbee, Tombstone, Benson and
Sedona, as well as at Coronado National
Monument, Fort Huachuca and along the
San Pedro River.
The standard length of a volksmarching trail is 10 kilometers, but some also
include a 5-kilometer walk.
Participants can carry logbooks and collect awards and patches for a small fee, or
you can simply walk for free. Year-round
walks are available in all 50 states.

Mountain Trekkers and their sponsored

Bored with your usual walking
routine? Then head to the Bisbee hills
to work up a sweat while enjoying
vistas, history and hidden gems…
If staring at a blank wall as you plod
along on a treadmill is not your idea of
enjoyable exercise, then it could be time
to consider volksmarching.
This popular activity gets you out
into the fresh air, takes in magnificent
scenery and educates you on your
surroundings.
And thanks to the Thunder Mountain
Trekkers, a local club sponsored by the
American Volksport Association (see
sidebar), there are a number of readymade local routes for you to enjoy.

ith its copper filled hills
and century-old staircases,
the Old Bisbee Volkswalk
is one that offers not
only a calorie-burning workout,
but the chance to glimpse parts of
this historic community you have
probably never seen before.
A route map and information
booklet is available at the start point
in the Copper Queen Hotel’s grand
Victorian era lobby – just ask for it at
the reception desk and then peruse
the fascinating old photographs
and memorabilia on display before
heading out on your walk.
You can choose to trek 10 or 5
kilometers – we chose the latter –
and it is all done at your own pace.
If the most you have ever
experienced in Bisbee is the Main
Street shops, restaurants and
galleries, then this walk will certainly
prove to be an education.
Take a glimpse inside the
Presbyterian Church on Howell
Avenue – built for $10,000 in 1903
– and you will see a magnificent
wooden-beamed ceiling, a cathedral
sized organ and pews carved in the
Netherlands.
Just steps away lies the former
YWCA, also built in 1903 and
now the Gym Club Suites, and
the imposing 109-year-old Central
School, currently used as an arts and
cultural center.
Before long you find yourself
winding your way up Bisbee’s narrow,
twisting pathways, past the old
Bisbee School (purported to be the
only four-story building in the world
with a ground level entrance to each
floor), and into the quirky residential
areas.
No two homes are the same and
their eclectic facades provide a small
glimpse of what life must be like as a
Bisbee resident.
More thrilling, however, are the
stunning vistas you get to enjoy from
a new vantage point above the town,
with mountain views fading out into the
distance as far as the eye can see.
Next, it’s downhill to Tombstone
Canyon and to the Iron Man statue,
which has been watching over the
approach into this former mining
community since 1935, before heading
uphill and past an unexpected row of
rusting coasters.
These go-karts undoubtedly saw
better days during the famous annual
July 4 coaster race, but are now
gradually becoming part of their natural
surroundings. It is probably fair to
say that most visitors to Bisbee have
never glimpsed these unique pieces of
Americana unless they have taken the
time to walk beyond Main Street.
A wander past the back of the Art Deco
style Cochise County courthouse takes
you to the top of one of Bisbee’s famous
staircases, and affords a view of the
landmark cliff face known as Castle Rock.
This brings you back down to Main
Street and into the heart of the old
business district, lined with Victorian
brick buildings and visiting tourists, and
onto the Smithsonian affiliated Bisbee
Mining and Historical Museum – a
wonderful stop off to learn about the
town’s compelling history.
Another climb is ahead as you make
your way up the intriguingly named
OK Street and then down a very steep
cobbled hill to the Muheim Heritage
House Museum, a Registered National
Historic site dating back to 1898 and
open daily to the public.
Finally, you head down to Brewery
Avenue before heading up and into
a quiet residential area dotted with
interesting looking homes, ranging from
a stone and log cabin to long abandoned
miners’ dwellings.
The route info then guides you back
to the Copper Queen Hotel, about one
hour and 45 minutes after setting out,
where you can enjoy a well-earned, and of
course healthy, drink or meal.

EVERY DAY!
Happy Hour:

Mariachi Trio
Artichoke Heart and
Herbed Cream Cheese Stuffed Mushrooms
Three course meal
that says
Lark Beaugureau
his Valentine’s Day, cut down on
your sugar intake and whisper sweet
nothings to your loved one instead over
a romantic three-course, low fat dinner!
Lark Beaugureau believes you can have your
cake and eat it too – just not every day.
The former professional chef and caterer loves
nothing better than to whip up dishes that taste
decadent and satisfying, without breaking the calorie bank.
“I wanted something that was light for a Valentine’s Day dinner, but that would still have great
flavor,” she says of the pork tenderloin she chose as
an entrée for Vitality readers. “Pork has fewer calories than beef and you only need a small amount
of wine or port for a flavorful sauce.”
A little of what you fancy is the approach Lark
took for the stuffed mushrooms, to which she added just a touch of bread crumbs, light cream cheese
and fresh Parmesan to create a sensational starter.
“The rest is really all vegetables,” she said.
“They’re creamy, but bite size.”
Finally, her decadent dessert of chocolate Amaretto cream crepes is the perfect finale to the year’s
most romantic meal.
“I used half egg and half Egg Beaters, as well as
light cream cheese,” said Lark. “But be sure to use
really good chocolate chips!”

defining moment
The daily grind
dreams
I served 20 years in the Army and retired in 2005
at Fort Huachuca. In 2006, I went back to work for
the federal government as a civilian. I left in September 2012 because I was unhappy. I had got to the
point where I did not look forward to going into work
every day and I just did not want to do it any more.
A new direction
I still had some money left from the GI Bill and
so I decided to go to college. I signed up at Wayland
Baptist University to do my master’s degree. I had
gained weight because, like a lot of people who leave
the Army, I didn’t want to do that kind of physical
activity any more. My job had involved a lot of sitting
and my degree courses were online so I was in front of
a computer all day. I gained about 20 pounds.
Positive action
I started going to the gym a lot and working out.
It was a lot different from the Army because in the
military you have to do the regular stuff, and I had
been burned out by the physical training, which is
why I stopped exercising. Going to the gym, though,
and being able to use the various machines was a lot
different.
The entrepreneurial spirit
It was when I was at the gym that I saw an ad for a
personal training course that you could do online and
get a certification. I had always been a fan of “The
Biggest Loser” and enjoyed seeing the success of the
people on it. It was always something that interested
me. So I took the tests and became certified in January

2013. I then set up my own business, Personal Fitness Training by Teresa, and worked out of my home
and other people’s homes doing one-on-one training.
Celebrity motivation
At the end of 2013 I learned there was a fitness
convention in Miami that was being attended by
“The Biggest Loser’s” Jillian Michaels, who devised
the BODYSHRED workout. I knew there were
courses you could do elsewhere to become certified
and I asked if there would be certification classes
at the convention. It must have got the organizers
thinking, because they decided to offer them after
I had contacted them, and so I signed up. I got to
actually workout with Jillian. She’s so small, but it
was a tough workout.
Taking the plunge
I received my “Biggest Loser” Pro certification
and my BODYSHRED certification. I’m one of only
two BODYSHRED trainers in Arizona. To meet the
requirements of the program I needed to find a
classroom, and so I started looking. In June 2014,
I opened it up at the Haymore Plaza in Sierra Vista.
This is not what I had planned to do and it was
exciting and scary at the same time. I suppose I have
Jillian Michaels to thank for that.
Words of inspiration
If you’re stuck in a job you don’t like, and if you
are financially able to do it, then you should pursue
your dream. You’ve just got to take that leap of faith.
