Jeneva Augello likes to help people through art expression.

"Art expression allows people to raise awareness that things might not always be as they seem," Augello explains while touring her small, but quaint, space on the lower level of the historic building in which her business is housed.

Augello, 50, is the founder and motivational force behind Artspress, 336 S. Market St., Elizabethtown. Artspress is a business based on a methodology that, Augello says, empowers participants of all ages to relax and express freely in a safe environment through art.

The Artspress concept began almost 20 years ago, and Augello worked on it as an adult art student at Winthrop University in South Carolina, while raising her two youngest children. She and her husband, Chuck, now have a combined family of six children who range in age from 10 to 31.

Augello also has worked with cancer patients, using art as a medium for relaxation and coping.

The Artspress exercises include what Augello calls the "E.L.F." experience emotion, logic and focus. These elements are included in stations within Artspress that allow the participant to do mental exercises that make the brain focus in different ways while the participant expresses himself or herself, Augello says.

The stations focus on grounding meditation (participants ground themselves by stepping on a beaded mat); movement meditation (they then trace themselves on a large white board on the ground); creative reflection (drawing exercises); and visual perspective (more drawing and emotion exercises).

The participants are not necessarily artists and do not have to have any kind of art skills, she says. However, Augello does dub them artists for the day by using "artist" before their first names when she addresses them.

"When they enter, they become artists," Augello says.

"They just have to have an open mind and be willing to express themselves and learn about themselves," Augello says.

This week I am revisiting last year's "8 Questions on Diet and Exercise" for Santa Claus. Santa has been spreading joy and happiness in North Idaho and around the world for a very long time. Santa has had a lifelong passion for good health, exercise and nutrition. Santa holds many records including the fastest time for the most chimney climbs in a 24-hour period and one of the fastest sleigh-to-roof transitions ever seen.

Q. Let's start with a basic question. What workout regimen do you use to prepare for what must be a physically demanding time of year?

A. Well that's a very good question. It is a physically demanding time with a vast amount of climbing, carrying heavy bags and running from place to place. In the off-season, the reindeer and I run a lot of backcountry trails at the North Pole. Of course, one of my elves is a Certified Personal Trainer so she helps me stay focused in the gym.

Q. Nutritionally, it must be difficult to be given access to so many amazing cookies that the kids leave out for you. How do you manage your cookie intake?

A. Well, I approach it like you would for any endurance race. When you know you have a long demanding race you need to fuel up. Cookies are an amazing way to maximize the amount of glycogen stored in your muscles and Mrs. Claus reminds me all the time that poorly fueled muscles are associated with needless fatigue this time of year.

Q. Santa, I had heard you are an avid fan of Zumba? How do you find time to work that into your busy schedule?

A. Zumba is very stimulating and I am fond of the catchy Latin beats they use for music. Plus, Zumba is a very fast way to squeeze in a heart-pumping cardio workout in less than 40 minutes. I must admit my belly sometimes moves left when the rest of me moves right, so it does become a bit awkward for me. Those Zumba instructors go pretty easy on me though, since they want to stay on my nice list... Those Zumba instructors need a lot of help in that department.

Q. So what is your favorite and most difficult exercise program?

A. A few years ago, my elves introduced me to Parkour. This is where you develop the physical skills to effectively jump, climb and roll through obstacles without aid of ropes or climbing gear. This is quite a workout, but very good for me since I must scale so many roofs, slide down chimneys, dodge wires and other hazards while delivering toys to all the good girls and boys.

Q. Now Santa, you're not a young man anymore... how do you avoid injury doing all this physical activity?

SAN ANTONIO - Exercise might help women beat breast cancer. Researchers found it can ease the achy joints and muscle pain that lead many patients to quit taking medicines that treat the disease and lower the risk of a recurrence.

The study is the first major test of an exercise program for women on aromatase inhibitors. These estrogen-blocking pills, sold as Femara, Aromasin and other brands, are recommended for five years after initial breast cancer treatment for hormone-driven tumors, the most common type.

The pills also increasingly are being used to help prevent breast cancer in women at high risk of it because of family history, bad genes or other reasons. A separate study found that one of these medicines anastrozole, sold as Arimidex and in generic form cut this risk by 53 per cent. It's the second aromatase inhibitor shown to lower risk that much.

Despite how effective the drugs are, many women shun them because they can cause aches and pains, hot flashes and other side effects. About 15 per cent of U.S. women have enough risk to merit considering the pills to prevent breast cancer, yet less than 5 per cent take them, said Dr. Powel Brown, a prevention expert at the University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center.

The exercise study involved 121 postmenopausal women taking various aromatase inhibitors to treat breast cancer who complained of achy joints on a pain survey.

About half were assigned to two supervised strength training sessions a week plus at least 150 minutes of aerobic exercise per week. The rest got advice on the benefits of exercise and did their usual activities.

After a year, joint pain scores fell 20 per cent among exercisers and 3 per cent among the others. The severity of pain and how much it interfered with daily live also declined more in exercisers.

The exercise group improved cardiorespiratory fitness and lost weight nearly 8 pounds versus a slight gain in the others. Eighty per cent stuck with the program, helped by free access to a gym and a personal trainer.

The National Cancer Institute paid for the study, which was led by Melinda Irwin of the Yale Cancer Center and Dr. Jennifer Ligibel of the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute in Boston.

Dr. Eric Winer, breast cancer chief at Dana-Farber, said the results may help more women stick with the drugs.

For Mankato Wests Maddie Maruska and Rachel Conley, gymnastics is all in their head.

The duo has returned to the Scarlets after missing virtually all of last season with torn anterior cruciate ligaments. Both gymnasts suffered their injury on the opening meet of the 2012 season while doing the floor excercise.

Co-head coach Mark Morphew remembers the day well.

After that meet, (coach) Elizabeth (Mullikin) and I were kind of hanging our heads, he said. Not only did we feel bad for Maddie and Rachel because they had worked hard to get where they were at, but we knew what it meant for the team.

We had high hopes going into last season and then we lost our two best gymnasts right out of the gate. We knew that everybody was going to have to temper their expectations.

The junior Maruska and senior Conley, who are best friends both in and out of the gymnastics room, had their surgeries on consecutive days by the same doctor at Immanuel-St. Joes Hospital in Mankato. They did their rehab and were cleared to resume full athletic activity this past August.

But this where the head part kicks in. While both may be at or close to 100 percent physically, there are still some mental hurdles to be conquered.

The West season began last week and both gymnasts admit that they have yet to cut loose during practice or a competition especially when it comes to the floor exercise.

Theres a fear factor there, Conley said. Were trying to deal with it the best we can.

Morphew says being tentative at the start of this season is natural.
