47 Thursday, May 2, 2013The County TimesWanderingsBy Shelby OppermannContributing Writerof anThe BestLaid Plans…You think it’s going to be a normal day, and you set out to have a normalday, but does that ever really happen? Not usually for me. Yesterday was oneof those days. As you probably remember, Monday was a rainy day. I had myday planned out: run to the podiatrist, go to Staples, grab a couple Café Mochaswith which to surprise each of my two sons at their works, get some ¼ roundwood strips at Dyson’s lumber supply, get blood work drawn, then home towrite my article. Great plan. Great Mills is where the plan came to a screeching,crunching, grinding halt.I found out I still have to be in the boot for a few more weeks, but I canwear regular shoes when at home. Yay! I picked up coffee and treats for myboys, and dropped the first coffee off at Lowes with number two son. He mentionedthat I might want to stop by his house and see the baby and pick up somebaby shower thank you cards to hand out to my friends. I stopped at Chancellor’sRun Park to contact number one son and see if I could drop off his coffee.I waited and didn’t hear back right away, so I thought I’ll go to Dyson’s Lumberand Hardware Store first and then go back to the Great Mills Rd./Rt. 5 officepark where my son works.So, I was happily turning into Dyson’s when the car decided it wanted toslide to the right, even though I was steering into the lot. It was in slow motion,as I gently slid up over the yellow curb and kept sliding while hearing loudcrunching and grinding as I slowly slid over the edge of a 400ft. deep embankment.Oh sorry, it was probably only 3 or 4ft, but looked like 400ft to me at thetime. The car was leaning precariously over the edge with me hanging to theright in my seatbelt looking at the overturned coffee spilled on the other side ofthe car all over the thank you notes. Of course purse, phone, bag of paperworkand the treat bag were all up against the passenger door. I started smellingsomething melting and thought hmmm, this could be a problem. I was tryingto peer up out of the windows to see if anyone was around, when I saw a mancoming out of Dyson’s. I rolled down the window and started yelling help. Heimmediately ran up, as did all the men that work in the back lot. What a greatfeeling to see a bunch of handsome strong men coming to your aid. Thank you- all of you. Unbeknownst to me a policeman, Deputy Rogers, happened to bedriving by at the same time. Deputy Rogers and all those wonderful men liftedme up and out of the car. I had a difficult moment when I couldn’t get my bootout, and also apologized for not losing more weight at this point.They sent me inside out of the rain into Dyson’s. What wonderful people,they talked with me and took care of me until my son arrived and soon after,my husband. Willie, the tow truck driver came up fast to get the car out, andtold my husband I should still get seen at St. Mary’s Hospital ER – which wedid, and everyone was sweet and attentive there too. Again, thank you to everyoneone who helped me yesterday. I have a sprained wrist and I’m a little sorefrom hanging in the seatbelt, none of which feels too different than my regulararthritis pains. And I broke a nail - which really upset me. So I’m fine, severalpeople got a good show. Now, to that couple who were laughing hysterically intheir pickup truck...To each new day’s unforeseen adventure,ShelbyAimlessMindPlease send your comments or ideas to:shelbys.wanderings@yahoo.com or findme on facebook: Shelby OppermannBy Debra Meszaros CSNwww.MXSportsNutrition.comStarting at 11Food & BeerWill be soldOn siteWhat’s the problemwith your yogurt?Yogurt, one of the most popularhealth foods; is it all that it ishyped up to be?Has the dairy industry fooledus again?More Americans than everbefore understand the positive affectsof exercise and proper nutrition.Nutritional education is onthe rise as more foundations, websites,and companies stream endless information.From dieters, to health conscious individuals, mostbelieve that yogurt belongs on the healthy food list;but are they all created equal?Yogurt contains probiotics, active cultures thataid your body with digestion and immune support.This fact allows yogurt to enter the healthy foodlist, but those consuming fat free yogurt for dietaryweight loss reasons might be surprised to find outthat fat free yogurt may be the wrong choice. Sincethe fat is removed or reduced, it is often replaced withfruit, sugar, or some alternate form of sugar. Theseingredients often increase your blood sugar levelswhich can lead to the production of fat in your body.Additionally, when yogurt lacks fat, it may increaseyour desire for food since fat has a satiety factor, satisfyingyour body with its preferred source of energy.When yogurt lacks fat, the body will normally wantmore food within an hour or two. If you can find fullfat yogurt made from grass-fed cows, the fat contentis balanced, very healthy; and will contain powerfulvitamin K2, CLA, and omega 3’s. This makes full fatyogurt the best form of yogurt.From the probiotic standpoint, many consumeyogurt as their way of repopulating the “good” bacteriain their gut. Many do not know, yogurt doesvery little in this regard and educated experts do notsuggest it to replace a probiotic supplement. Mostyogurts only contain 3 to 4 strains of probiotics andthere are thousands of strains in the body. Althougha cup of yogurt can contain 1 to 5 billion CFU’s ofprobiotic, there is a food on the market that surpassesKick Ball TournamentIn support of our local wounded Heroes:Jeffrey Shonk (Great Mills, MD)De’Shawn Kittrell (Great Mills, MD)Live Entertainment By:Sam Grow BandToo Many MikesPounding SandAday OffearthDJ Coop May 4, 2013American Legion Post #255 Ridge, MD24 TeamsCome out and support these Two Local HeroesALL DONATIONS ARE ACCEPTEDAND GREATLY APPRECIATEDNO COOLERS PLEASEyogurt on the healthy food list.Is Kefir superior to yogurt?Kefir can usually be found in a full fat version,manufactured from non-homogenized, grass-fedmilk. It will usually contain 7 billion to 50 billion activecultures of probiotics, from 10 to 20 strains of“good” bacteria. Kefir is also easier to digest.Shopping for Kefir should be no different thanany other food; you should always be reading thelabel. Avoid focusing on “buzz” word marketingand read the fine print. There are certain companiesthat just produce better products. Make sure itis free from extra sugars, sugar substitutes, and anypreservatives or additives. I encourage you to continueeducating yourself on nutrition and join theever-growing number of “smart” consumers that arespending their money wisely.©2013 Debra Meszaros MXSportsNutrition.com.
