AVERY POWERS Contributing Writer Avery Powers is an English major at Liberty University. Born and raised in Fayetteville, she has enjoyed interning at the Fayetteville Dream Center and volunteering at Manna Church.Checking in withcommunity leaders: Fayetteville City Councilwoman Tisha Waddell is the current representative of District 3. As the daughter of two veterans, District 3’s first councilwoman has been closely associated with the military her entire life and has called Fayetteville home since 1997. Prior to serving on the council, Waddell worked with the Fayetteville Redevelopment Commission to aid blended families and teach individuals about entrepreneurship. Women’s View Magazine: What was your greatest challenge in becoming a council member? How did you overcome that challenge, and does it affect the way you approach your duties today? Tisha Waddell: Because I was new to the political world, the greatest challenge in becoming a council member was reassuring the people I sought to represent that I was prepared to take on the responsibility of governing according to their needs and expectations. I did that by listening and being present, accountable, responsive and honest. Because those attributes are a part of my character, they continue to be a staple of how I govern. I believe in balance and accessibility, and I recognize there shouldn’t be anything that stands between me and the people I am elected to serve.WVM: What does a day on the job look like for council members in January? What's going on this time of year?Waddell: This month, the council did some extensive work to determine how we should prioritize our time. We decided thatfinding solutions to our stormwater issues, making our city more appealing for developers and business partners, redevelopingour major corridors, providing economic opportunities for youth and adults alike and strengthening broadband connectivity roseto the top of our agenda collectively. For me, January will be focused on working to make sure we are connecting with the rightpeople and putting the right policies in place to ensure that our priorities lend themselves to growth for our citizens and our city.WVM: What is one council-related goal you're most excited about for 2019?Waddell: Outside of the important efforts we are taking to improve infrastructure and rectify stormwater concerns, I ammost excited about the work we are doing to engage and support people in gaining employment experience and securingcareer opportunities. As a legislator, it is my goal to make certain we are leveling the economic playing field so that the city ofFayetteville can grow organically through the financial stability of its citizens.WVM: Outside of your work with the council, how do you help blended families and small businesses?Waddell: My focus has been on working with blended families by providing conflict resolution skill training for the last fiveyears. Prior to that, I focused on assisting with small business startups. Both have unique challenges. When working to supportblended families, the approach is very similar to birthing and building a new business. A person has to be patient, have realisticexpectations and be prepared for the things they thought were set in stone to change or be challenged, regardless of how well-prepared they might have been. The key to success in both realms is the ability to accept that things may not go as planned, butthat doesn’t mean give up. My favorite part of working with families and entrepreneurs is watching them overcome what to somelooks like an impossible situation and watching them be prosperous in their relationships and business as a result of that tenacity.Photo via fayettevillenc.gov JANUARY 2019 7

According to the National Osteoporosis Founda- tion, certain factors make women more likely than men to develop osteoporosis, a bone dis- ease that occurs when the body loses too much bone, produces too little bone or both. One such factor is that women tend to have smaller, thinner bones than men. Another reason women are more vulnerable to osteo- porosis than men concerns the hormone estrogen. Es- trogen is a hormone in women that serves many func- tions, one of which includes protecting bones. Production of estrogen decreases sharply when women reach menopause, the period in a woman's life when she ceases menstruating. The National Institute on Ag- ing notes that the average woman has her final period at age 51. Once women reach menopause, the accom- panying decline in estrogen production can cause bone loss. This is one reason why women's risk for osteoporo- sis increases after menopause and why recommended intake of calcium and vitamin D, both of which can help women prevent osteoporosis, is different for women age 50 and below than it is for women age 51 and older.16 JANUARY 2019

JUST SAYIN’ …Is this agood time,or should Icome back?Is there anyone other than me who uses the samebeautician and has had the same hairstyle for years?Isn’t it funny that you can get your hair cut exactly howyou like it six times in a row, and then all of a sudden,things change? You walk out looking like your headgot caught in a ceiling fan. No two hairs are the samelength, and you look and feel like you have a hairstylethat should be given to your poodle for the summer.I have thought about asking my beautician when Iwalk in the door, “Is this a good time, or should I comeback?” I would almost be willing to pay her not to touchmy hair on the days that are not good for her!And what about the times you are asked, when she hasfinished, “You think it’s too short?” Ha! That’s a fine timeto ask — what does she think she can do, put it back?Well, you can get kind of upset when that happens. So, Itell myself, “Self, since I have gone through this, I needto go for a relaxing pedicure.” Off to the nail salon I go.I go in and sit down, enjoy the warm water on my feetand just sit back and try to forget about the hair.Then, of course, when the lady comes over and starts onmy feet, it happens. Looking down my right leg, there isa 1 1/2-inch-wide patch of hair that I missed during myshaving. WOW! Do you think just maybe my beauticiansaw this patch on my leg and decided I needed my headto match?18 JANUARY 2019

Fluids to check For many traveling enthusiasts, few things are more before your next enticing than the open road. Road trips have long been popular, and that popularity appears to be on road trip the rise. According to a report from MMGY Global, a travel20 JANUARY 2019 and hospitality marketing firm, road trips represented 39 percent of vacations taken by United States travelers in 2016. Road trips also remain popular in Canada, where vast, rugged terrain makes for idyllic trips. Before embarking on road trips, motorists would be wise to inspect their vehicles to ensure their getaways are not derailed by car troubles. · Brake fluid: Squeaky brakes are not the only potential indicator of brake problems. Brake fluid, which should always be topped off before beginning a road trip, also might shed light on potentially serious problems. According to the National Motorists Association, brake fluid looks honey-like and translucent when fresh. A puddle beneath a vehicle that is clear to brown and slick indicates a brake fluid leak, which can ultimately lead to a complete failure of the brakes. The NMA recommends brake fluid be changed at least once every three to four years. · Transmission fluid: When fresh, transmission fluid is red, darkening over time. However, transmission fluid should never appear brown or black, which indicates potential internal damage to the transmission. To determine if there are any issues with the transmission fluid, the NMA recommends drivers wipe a cool dipstick between their thumb and index finger. If even the slightest bit of grit is felt when wiping the dipstick, the transmission is likely in need of work. · Oil: Drivers should change their vehicles' oil before embarking on road trips, especially if such trips will be lengthy. The NMA notes that fresh oil is light to dark amber and translucent, and that is how oil typically looks immediately after an oil change. Oil darkens over time, and that is natural (black oil indicates it's time for an oil change). However, oil that appears cloudy or milky indicates that coolant is getting into the oil, perhaps due to gasket problems. Drivers who are not getting their vehicles' oil changed before a road trip should at least check their oil before leaving to inspect the color of the oil and ensure the vehicle has enough oil. · Windshield washer fluid: The unknown of the open road is part of what makes it so appealing. While many road trippers plan their trips during the summer and fall when the weather tends to be both pleasant and predictable, there's no guarantee inclement weather won't rear its ugly head. Filling the windshield washer fluid reservoir before embarking on a trip ensures drivers' visibility won't be adversely affected by unforeseen issues that can soil windshields. Checking fluids before embarking on a road trip can help drivers avoid breakdowns and ensure a safe, fun trip.

You can make recycling easy in your home by havinga trash can for trash only and a container for recycling materialsonly. If you are missing your blue roll cart, or if it is damaged, call910-433-1FAY (1329) to have it replaced or repaired. There are also other ways to recycle in both Fayetteville and Cumberland County. Here’s some information and tips:• Cumberland County offers 17 county-maintained container sites, where residents can dispose of and recycle additional materials that may not fit in their city-issued carts. Acceptable items at container sites include: household garbage, yard debris, flattened cardboard, glass bottles and jars, plastic bottles, aluminum cans, metal objects, old textiles, electronics, TVs, magazines, newspapers and office paper, white goods, cooking oil, tires without rims (tires are limited to five per household or 10 per farm per year) and vehicle batteries. For container site addresses and hours of operation, visit www.co.cumberland.nc.us/departments/solid-waste-group/solid-waste- management/container-sites-information.• Do not bag your recyclables. Plastic bags contaminate the recycle stream and can cause issues at recycle sorting facilities.• Oily pizza boxes are among the most common offenders when it comes to contamination. The problem is that oil often seeps into the cardboard. The oil is not able to be separated from the fiber, making that material less valuable, and less marketable, to buyers. JANUARY 2019 21
