up front
A
s everyone else looks back on the year that has just past,
those of us around here involved in the yearlong fitness
challenge are smiling pretty big over what we accomplished
this last year and looking forward to what this next year will bring.
This issue is about beautiful and healthy food, beautiful people, and
art, as well as wonderful stories of achievement that illuminate our
friends and neighbors in the great community we call home.
Inside, just as you are making your own New Year’s resolutions for
the coming year, you’ll find the secrets of longevity told by four treasured
seniors who offer their keys to long and rewarding lives. You’ll
recognize their names and faces while you learn more of their stories.

WBM january 2012
And, completed
last year in Parkside
at Mayfaire, you’ll
find an example
of the last house
someone getting
older might need
or want, to remain
at home as long as
possible.
There’s a fascinating
peek inside three
glass blowing studios;
those of Susan
Tharin, Jerry Leigh
Dearing, and John Burchetta and Elizabeth Miele,
plus a preview into the world of three local documentary
filmmakers as the 10th anniversary of this
genre’s film festival, DocuTime, rolls around.
And if our cover shot of personal chef Kevin
DeMarco’s mouthwatering prawn and couscous
timbale doesn’t have you ordering shrimp the next
time you are seated in a fine restaurant, well, you
may not be human, after all. What a fitting way to begin the year with
fresh, healthy suggestions for lifestyle and diet changes with interviews
with three of the area’s top personal chefs.
Enjoy the final installment of our yearlong fitness challenge and
makeovers, we certainly are. It’s been a grand adventure and the benefits
will be with us for a lifetime.
Have a Happy and Blessed New Year!
