A lucky Tempe resident will accept $10,000 cash at an awards presentation Saturday October 25 at 10:30 am at Luna Fitness in Tempe.
Frances Poeppe was the winner in the Arizona Transformation Challenge sponsored by Luna Fitness. One hundred women competed in the weight loss event. Poeppe was the successful winner losing 28 pounds, over 14 percent of her overall body weight, in six months.
Poeppe said she used every service the woman only gym provides to reach her objectives. She still has 8 to 10 pounds to lose and intends to put some of her winnings back into more training to reach her ultimate goal. She even looks forward to waking up early to get to the 5 am Zumba aerobic dance classes that she loves.
“I have tried other methods but without the support of the Luna team, including my trainer Skye Roberts, Dr. Kareen O’Brien, and mind and body wellness practitioner Lesley Pelkey, I couldn’t have done it on my own,” she said.
Other events scheduled that day in honor of Breast Cancer Awareness Month and Self Defense Awareness Month include:
8 am to noon: Shoe fitting clinic for those participating in the three day cancer walk.
10 am: Proper posture and attire for comfort for the three day walk. Learn how to walk blister free by experienced six-time walker Rita Moorehead.
10:30 am: Awards presentation to the three top winners of the Arizona Transformation Challenge.
12:30-1:30: Self Defense Class for Women and Teenage Girls by Kung Fu Master Crystal Melton.
All events are free and open to the public. Participants need not be members. The gym and its facilities will be open throughout the day.
Luna Fitness is located on the southeast corner of Rural and Elliot Rd., 975 E. Elliot Road, Tempe 85284 and is open to women only. Call 480-456-5767.

Mesa Entrepreneurs Develop System to Protect Home Valuables
Mesa Entrepreneurs Develop System to Protect Home Valuables
Imagine your home was burglarized, you lost all your valuable possessions, including Grandma Irene’s diamond ring you inherited. Or worse yet, there was a natural disaster, or a fire, and your entire home was destroyed.
How would you recoup from this devastating loss?
If you were a victim of a natural disaster or burglary, would you be able to provide your insurance company with an accurate record of your family’s belongings?
While certain things will never be replaced, at least if you have a thorough record of everything, you will have a much better chance with the insurance company to get the funds to purchase new items. Having an accurate home inventory can mean the difference of thousands of dollars in your insurance settlement.
Taking StockTM, LLC , a Mesa based company, has developed two ways to help you know what you have before you lose it. After a disaster is not the time to take an inventory.
Taking Stock’s residential inventory service provides digital video and still photos of the interior and exterior of the home as well as a complete listing of all your valuables. Owners Judy and Warren Moore utilize a unique system to document your computer, electronic equipment, major appliances, art, jewelry and other valuables. They record the model and serial numbers and will archive the information for free for a year. The customer receives a cd and a dvd containing the inventory information and pictures. Pricing averages $495 depending upon the size of the home. A price quote can be given over the phone in advance of service.
“While we are not an appraisal service, we feel we provide a valuable service,” said Judy Moore. “Can you imagine how time consuming it would be to recreate an inventory after the fact, and it would probably be very inaccurate as well.”
They will also provide the same service for small businesses.
The second way that Taking StockTM serves its customers locally and nationally is through its Taking Stock ™ Home Inventory DVD. The DVD is an informative resource teaching the homeowner how to do the inventory themselves with their own video or other camera. The DVD is available for $14.95 at www.takestocktoday.com.

Tips on Breast Health
Tips on Breast Health Awareness for October
By Kareen O’Brien, N.D.
Breast cancer is the most common cancer to affect women. October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month and Dr. Kareen O’Brien, a naturopathic physician with Luna Fitness Center of Tempe, who specializes in women’s health issues, offers these tips for breast health and cancer prevention.
1. Self breast exams are important.
2. Get your mammogram according to schedule and your age.
3. Be aware of your family history for breast cancer. Gene tests are available, however expensive.
4. Check for good and bad estrogen through blood, urine or saliva tests. The body is supposed to be in balance. Supplements can drive estrogen towards the good. Progesterone can also be supplemented.
5. Be weight appropriate. The more weight we carry, the more estrogen there is in the body.
6. Diet and exercise are important. Diet should be composed high in fruits and vegetables and low in red meats, cheese and fat. Drink lots of water to eliminate toxins from the body. Exercise and sweating helps the immune system. A study by Yale School of Medicine found that women who stay active after being diagnosed with breast cancer have a better chance of surviving the disease. Exercising can reduce breast cancer risk by up to 40 percent.
“Women undergoing breast cancer treatment should think of exercise as a part of their therapy,” Dr. O’Brien said. Exercise will also improve their quality of life.
7. Avoid putting toxins in the body in the first place. Be aware of chemical cleaning products and go organic. Also use chemical free shampoos, lotions and cosmetics. Read the labels and be aware of what you are using.
8. Watch for exposures in your home like pesticide spraying. Avoid plastic bottles and don’t heat foods in the microwave in plastic containers.
9. Limit the use of synthetic hormone therapies.
10. Detox twice a year to clean out your system of toxins.
11. Have a positive mental attitude. It has been proven that women who are happy and optimistic appear to be less likely to get breast cancer than their gloomier counterparts. Emotional well-being is important to having a healthy lifestyle, including eating healthy, maintaining a healthy weight, regular exercise and avoiding alcohol.
12. Consider complementary and holistic medicine techniques such as massage, meditation, yoga and journaling to help ease anxiety, stress and depression. Yoga is one of the many classes held at Luna Fitness for Women in Tempe.
13. Make informed choices about the medicines you take.
14. Don’t smoke. It is a risk factor for breast cancer.
15. Growing older is the biggest risk for breast cancer. The longer you live, the higher your risk – so the better you take care of yourself – the healthier life you will live.

Safe Tanning Available Naturally in Tempe
Safe Tanning Available Naturally in Tempe
Looking for that summer tan? Feel it will make you look young, sexy and glamorous? Well, beware. Whether you are soaking up the rays by the pool or beach, or inside a tanning bed, the rays can be harmful to your skin…even to the degree of causing skin cancer.
Skin cancer is the most prevalent form of all cancers in the U.S. and if left untreated, can spread to other organs and is difficult to control. This year there will be more than one million new skin cancer cases diagnosed.
Ultraviolet (UV) radiation from the sun is the number one cause of skin cancer but UV light from tanning beds is just as harmful.
Tanning is also skin damage. It causes premature aging, with the skin appearing leathery and wrinkled. It can also damage the immune system.
Luna Fitness of Tempe has a safe tanning system that does not use UV lights or harmful chemicals. People can still get a natural looking skin tone to their desire of light, medium or dark. In just 60 seconds, a person can be bronzed and hydrated within the wide-open booth. There are different full-body skin treatments allowing people to customize their tanning application, from a pre-sunless hydration spray, a skin bronzing solution and an anti-aging moisturizer. No chemicals or alcohol are involved. The solution is sugar, water, DHEA and aloe vera based. The bronze lasts about a week.
“I use it myself”, said Luna Fitness owner Skye Roberts of the Versa Spa Magic Spray Tan. . “I like to look tan but there is skin cancer history in my family and I wouldn’t want to take the risk.”
She said her clients like the quick and easy one-minute application and the natural appearance of the bronze. It is not orange looking and the skin is moisturized from the treatment.
The cost is included in various spa packages available at Luna Fitness.

Sun Sounds Makes Life Worth Reading
Sun Sounds Makes Life Worth Living
For Those Who Cannot See To Read
People who lose their ability to read the printed word go through an emotional upheaval, often feeling isolated from the world in general.
Imagine what it must be like to not be able to enjoy a good book, check the TV schedule, read the daily newspaper, enjoy a magazine or check out the grocery advertisements.
Sun Sounds, a volunteer-based audio access system that’s been serving Arizonans since 1979, keeps those who have lost their ability to read print material in the information loop by providing three 24-hour services that are easy to access.
They are:
Sun Sounds Radio: A collection of half-hour and hour-long audio programs that feature the reading of publications by volunteers. Publications include special interest periodicals and the Arizona Republic newspaper.
Sun Dial: A World Wide Web reading service that provides the listener with greater convenience and personal options via a touch-tone telephone. Users can search to find specific articles from national, regional and statewide newspapers at their convenience.
Sun Sounds Online: This webcast provides access to all 124 audio programs produced and broadcast by Sun Sounds Radio to any individual who has Internet access and a personal computer equipped with a sound card. Links are also provided to text-based newspapers on the Web.
“On any given day Sun Sounds serves 49,000 listeners, but that is only one in four of the people who are eligible for the service,” said David Noble, Sun Sounds’ director of development. “Sixty-five percent of Sun Sounds listeners are seniors.”
Noble said that, although the number of listeners is growing, there are many people who either don’t know about Sun Sounds or don’t believe they can qualify for the
community service.
Sun Sounds relies on more than 500 volunteers who read stories and articles for the service. An outreach project of Rio Salado Community College, Sun Sounds operates on a $1.6 million budget from donations, in-kind services, corporate sponsors, the Arizona State Legislature, gifts from individuals and from wills and estates. Listeners are not charged a fee for the use of service however they are encouraged to donate to the best of their ability. A program guide is available in Braille and in large print, as well as on cassette, diskette and via email and web page. Recording studios are located n Tempe, Tucson and Flagstaff.
A major fund raising event for Sun Sounds is coming up March 8-9 at the 20th Annual Great Arizona Beer Festival at Tempe Beach Park where more than 100 specialty and microbrewed beers will be available for tasting. Music, food, games and fun will be featured at the event. General admission tickets are $40 in advance and VIP tickets are $80 in advance. For more information, visit www.azbeer.com.
