Resident and athlete Deb Ellard discovers sport of powerlifting
Resident and athlete Deb Ellard discovers sport of powerlifting
In her own words, Deb Ellard talks about her background and why she loves powerlifting.
I am a black belt in karate and have been teaching in Drayton Valley for over 10 years and one of the four instructors at the Drayton Valley Martial Arts Center. I am the head karate instructor for the Pembina Renshikan Karate Club.
In the past five years I have discovered yet another sport, and am now a competitive athlete. The new sport is that of powerlifting. I know there are other powerlifters in Drayton Valley, and I know that some have made it into the paper. The young males made it in when they won Top Lifter awards. I have two strikes against me. First, I am an older female, and second, unfortunately, I will never get a Top Lifter award. The reason being that as an older lifter, a Master lifter, I will never be able to lift as much as those half my age. Fortunately for me, that does not mean that I cannot be proud of what I have accomplished.
My accomplishments to date include competing in Regional, Provincial, Western, National and World competitions spanning three different federations. The records that I presently hold include:
100% Raw federation nine records in total
54 – 59 yrs, 67.5 weight class – World Squat
54 – 59 yrs, 67.5 weight class – Provincial and National Squat, Bench, Deadlift and Total
GPC federation four records now, as my three World records have been beaten
54 – 59 yrs, 67.5 weight class – National Squat, Bench, Deadlift and Total
APU/CPU/IPF federation 23 records in total, not including those that have been beaten
Masters 3 (60 – 69 yrs), 63 kg weight class – National and Provincial squat, bench, bench only, and total
Masters 3 (60 – 69 yrs), 72 kg weight class – National squat, bench, bench only, deadlift, and total
Masters 1 (40 – 49 yrs), 63 kg weight class – Provincial bench only
Masters 2 (50 – 59 yrs), 63 kg weight class – Provincial squat, bench, bench only and total
As well, in the Canadian Powerlifting Union (CPU), for all the M3 (60 – 69 yrs) female lifters in all weight classes for 2018, I am in fourth place for squat, fourth place for bench, tenth place for deadlift and eighth place in total. If you rate all the lifters according to Wilks points, I am number one in Canada. The Wilks is a formula used to determine the best lifter of powerlifters of all the different body weights. In the Alberta Powerlifting Union (APU), for the past two years I have made it onto the Top 10 Female Master lifters. The Top 10 list is for all the female Masters, so all the women over 40 years of age.
I have recently competed in the 2018 International Powerlifting Federation World Championships. In my age and weight class, I took Gold in squat, Silver in bench and Silver in total. I have all that, yet I know I will never receive a Top Lifter award. I'm still proud.
So, why do I lift? It certainly isn't for the recognition, because as an older female, there really isn't any. I do it because I just love the sport! Following a competition, there is always an emotional high that usually lasts for three to seven days. Being strong is fun, and I have met some amazing people in the world of powerlifting. Also, as long as I am lifting, I know that my chances of osteoporosis are very slim. As well, I will not get any muscle wasting as I age. It helps in several other areas, but those are the two main ones.
The hardest part being an older female lifter is the lack of recognition that we get. I'm not saying that the younger lifters shouldn't get recognition, because they should as well. It seems that media is too excited to recognize all that the young athletes accomplish. It certainly is exciting to see, but in all reality, they are young and in several ways, it is so much easier for them. For starters, their young bodies are much more cooperative to what they are asking it to do. Second, they really don't have all the added pressures to get to practice, as it is usually about them and the parents ensure they get to their practices. They can easily get their motivation from other athletes, as there are so many athletes their age or above that they can look up to. As an older athlete, our bodies don't react the same, and often we are struggling with other medical conditions as well. We have increased recovery and rehabilitation time. For us, sometimes getting in training time means juggling jobs, family commitments, and other expectations. We have little, if any, athletes to look up to. Our "heroes" are usually our peers. Just like everyone else, I enjoy seeing what the younger athletes can do, but I am now more impressed by what the older athletes have accomplished, as I know they had to overcome more hurdles and challenges to get there. I only hope that maybe someday the media will see that the older athlete deserves at least a little recognition.
My goals for the coming year are to compete in the CPU Nationals in March 2019 in Ottawa, and then earn my place on the Canadian team again to travel to Sweden for the IPF World Championships once again. I am hoping I will beat my new friend that took the Gold this year, and perhaps take a World squat record while I am there.

What ever happen to the days of having a burger, soda and fries for dinner and just calling it a day? Is that so horrible? No it is not. But if you consider a soda in the 1950's was 6.5 ounces you can easily see how we have double and tripled our servings in not only one sitting, but one day.
Think about it this way.
A 20 oz soda has 15-18 teaspoons of sugar. Think about what it would be like to sit with a jar of sugar and a teaspoon and take 15 bites of sugar.
Now think about if you happen to get a 40 oz soda and taking 30 bites of sugar. Yikes! Would you ever do this? If not, why would you drink it. (This can apply to other sugary drinks like juices and lattes).
The over consumption of sugary drinks can lead to a host of conditions from diabetes to heart disease to harming the health of your bones. And if you are trying to lose weight or be healthier and have a high soda intake, this could be the one thing that could change your health around.
Now if you are a diet soda fanatic, don't get to excited because diet soda is not all that much better.
The trouble with diet soda is it tricks us. As soon as the soda hits our lips our body is expecting that sugar rush, so it occupies us, temporarily. It makes us feel like we are full or satisfied but when the body realizes it did not get the intake it was expecting, it throws our cravings and energy levels out of whack making us crave more, eat more, etc. Some studies argue that diet soda is just as bad for your health as regular soda
Susie Swithers, a Purdue University professor commented, "One large study found that people who drank artificially sweetened soda were more likely to experience weight gain than those who drank non-diet soda. Others found those who drank diet soda had twice the risk of developing metabolic syndrome, often a precursor to cardiovascular disease, than those who abstained."
It is not a question of what is better or worse for you, it comes down to if any soda is really good for anyone in the first place.
So you get it. Soda is not your best choice and you probably already know this, but you still struggle to make a change. I am all about helping YOU change your habits, because I will argue that it is not as much about WHAT we do, but why we do it and how to change it.
My lightbulb moment.
In high school I developed a stress fracture in my lower leg and was required to sit out for three weeks. My doctor mentioned that it would be best to limit things like soda and encourage milk intake to keep calcium levels high to keep my bones healthy and be able to prevent things like this is the future.
I think this was pointed out to me at the time mostly because of my young age, but for whatever reason it snapped a lightbulb on in my head and I have not had a full soda in 15 years. Well, maybe one or two but it was most likely in a jack & coke. 😉
How to break your habit:
Go warm turkey.
Like instead of cold turkey? Cheesy joke aside, you don't have to give up every sip of soda this very second (though that approach may work for some people). Could you just try having less?
If you have two sodas a day could you have one and a half and dump out the rest? Could you have one soda at the time your crave it and replace your other soda with water? You would save hundreds of calories a week on sugar by making this small change alone.
Create a delay.
Often times reaching for a soda has just become a habit. We do it without even thinking about it. But ask yourself what are you really craving when you reach for a soda and why you claim that you have to have it. There is always an reason behind why we do things.
The next time you want a soda trying creating a pause. Wait 1 minute and ask yourself if you need it. If you do and decide to drink it that is fine. Next time try increasing that delay. Often it is more about having that something instantly than the soda itself.
Your lightbulb moment, your health!
This is what I did. I didn't even have to think about it. It was my health and performance first and soda was getting in the way. This may or may not work for you but if you stop focusing on the feeling that you just can't have it because it is bad for you and the reasons why it might be causing adverse health conditions it could change your habits and in turn improve your health.

Hi David, all,
A suggestion: How about no conditions at all? Anyone can suggest reconsideration of an item in section 3 and we do a simple ballot on that. Why putting "artificial limitations" (in my opinion) to do things? The bottom line is that the group always end up deciding anyway.

Craft Projects To Take On After Retirement
Many individuals are reluctant or apprehensive about retiring because they think that they would go into depression or that they would lose their mind because after working from 9 to 5 for decades and decades staying at home doing nothing would sound absolutely terrifying to these individuals. However, we are here to say that retirement does not mean that one should prepare to spend their time sitting in front of the television instead this time should be considered to be god's gift to them because they would finally have the time to take on all those craft projects that they always dreamt of taking on. However, although this may sound like a brilliant idea many of the readers of this article may not have any idea about the types of projects that they can take on, therefore, to educate these readers the following article will go on to explore some craft projects that would be ideal for any retiree.
Mosaic Art
If you are anything like me you may have admired mosaic arts for countless years whilst secretly wishing that you were as creative as the artists who created these pieces. However, I'm here to tell these readers a secret and that is one does not necessarily have to be an artist in order to embark on mosaic art & craft projects because these projects are so simple and easy that any individual can easily take them on because one would be able to do these projects with only bathroom tiling of different colours.However, before you take on this project one take the time to talk to or visit one of the bathroom tilers Melbourne in order to determine what sort of material is easy to work with and to find the stores that would sell these materials for a low price.
This is another project that requires only time and dedication and as retirees have an endless amount of time and dedication this is an ideal project for them to take on. They would only require a needle, a piece of cloth and thread to embark on this project. Furthermore, as the products of this project can be utilized for a variety of activities it would offer the creator an endless amount of joy and happiness to see the end product. Moreover, one would not be required to work for years and years to achieve a quality product. You can view more information here https://www.melbournecompletebathrooms.com.au/.
Thus, with the help of this article retirees no longer have to be apprehensive about their retirement because if they proceed to utilize the aforementioned information they would be able to find countless ways to occupy their time.

Reviewed by Katie Allen
The Beldray Quick Vac Lite multi-surface vacuum cleaner is a little powerhouse (600w).
As soon as it arrived, I used it for my usual Friday clean and tidy of our living room. The vacuum head was easy to adjust for our wooden floors and rugs meaning it picked up the detritus from our daughter's toast as well as the fur from our two black cats. It was also quick to remove the telescopic extension tube and turn into a handheld unit to clean up the 5-year old's chair and breakfast table! It coped well with all the fur our cats seem to shed daily with its good sized 600ml dust container and the fact it's corded (has a very plentiful 5 metre cord) means it keeps on going for as long as you like unlike its cordless cousins which only seem to last around 20 minutes! The attachments were great for skirting boards and a quick brush up of the settee and allowed me to get into all the nooks and crannies. The heads are easily detachable and just as great for hard floors as well as carpeted floors.
Its compact size means it doesn't take up much room when not used, so is great for those in flats or without much storage, or even to keep as an "upstairs vacuum cleaner" if you've got a heavy upright one downstairs. It would make a great gift for someone who's just moved into their first home or maybe a student in their halls of residence.
The Beldray comes with a 3-year guarantee if you register your device on their website within 30 days of purchase. Great to have for such a value item.
Ours will fit nicely in the wardrobe in our bedroom meaning I no longer have to lug the larger vacuum cleaner up the stairs each week.
Rating: 5/5

P1: I was not offered the job at the gym where I teach spinning that I spoke to the director about a few weeks ago. Even though I would have turned it down anyways, it still seems absurd that I can't even get a job I am ridiculously overqualified for. But she wanted someone to start on March 1st (today!) and I think it would require too much of a time commitment, given all the other things I want to do. As much as I bitch about being home with Little A, I have to admit, the thought of leaving her right now freaks me out, I would never have been prepared to start a new job today.
I finally heard from my ob/gyn, who apologized about not being able to connect with me, and she said she was going to speak with the head of volunteer services at Mount Sinai to see what restrictions there may be at the hospital in terms of patient contact. Even if I can't start volunteering there now, I really want to do my practicum placement there so I hope that is a possibility.
P2: Something is going on with Big A but I don't know what. She has been sick so it's possible she still isn't feeling great, but she often fakes it so I don't know for sure. I've decided to go out and buy something she doesn't like the taste of (she hates mint, so probably some mints...my friend Jenny suggested Altoids!) and tell her it's medicine. I figure if she doesn't like the taste, we will at least know for sure if she's just trying to get some medicine or if she really is under the weather. In any case, she was moody and uncooperative all day yesterday. In fact, it was the worst day we've had with her in a while. When Adam left for his book club in the late afternoon, she almost immediately had a meltdown which involved kicking me in face and hitting me with her hands. We have taken away all her dolls and her playing cards for 2 weeks. This morning was no better, she came out of her room at 6:40am and immediately had a fit because Adam had left for work already. She hasn't pulled that one in a few months. She screamed so much she woke up Little A. I eventually left her in the upstairs hallway and went down to the kitchen telling her to let me know when she was ready to behave. She eventually calmed down and then was great for the rest of the morning until I got her to daycare. When I asked her why she was so upset, she initially kept saying it was because she wanted daddy, but then said her throat really hurt again. I agreed to give her some Advil liquid and that made her happy...so again, how do I know if she's telling the truth??? She didn't complain about not feeling well again after that.
In contrast, Little A, at 10 months now, is at a great stage. It's so ironic that as I get closer to the end of my mat leave, she is getting more and more fun to be around. She babbles, like most babies her age now, making the cutest "doy doy" sounds. She is exploring more and more and enjoying her new found freedom that her crawling and standing providers her. Last night while Adam was at book club, we had a great time while she was in the bath. So after counting down the seconds until my mat leave ends these past 10 months, I am finally feeling somewhat emotional about it ending.
F1: As a fitness professional, I never recommend "diets" to anybody, because no one can sustain a diet long-term. I believe the key to weight control and health is establishing a balanced lifestyle you can maintain for the rest of your life. Weight Watchers is useful for some people, I will admit, because it teaches you about portion control and healthy eating. But, in general, I promote a "philosophy" of eating, rather than a diet. That philosophy is called "Volumetrics", and is based on scientific research by Barbara J. Rolls, Phd, and others. The concept is based on the fact that most people cannot control their eating if they are constantly hungry. We are biologically programmed to eat when we feel hungry, so the best way to manage your weight is by eating the greatest VOLUME of food with the lowest calories. This also promotes good health seeing as most foods with a low caloric density are fruits and vegetables, whole grains and lean proteins - the basis of a healthy diet. The idea is simple, eat low calorie foods in the greatest abundance and higher calorie foods (fats, etc.) in smaller quantities. For example, you could eat 10 French fries for the same number of calories as a large baked potato with salsa. The baked potato is a larger amount of food and will thus fill you up more than the fries. Another example is that for the same number of calories in 1/4 cup of raisins, you could eat 2 cups of fresh grapes. Foods with lots of water or air in them inherently have fewer calories. Another example is that a whole orange has fewer calories than a glass of orange juice. The orange also has fibre in it that the juice doesn't have, so it will keep you feeling full while the juice does nothing for your satiety. As a matter of fact, I recommend never drinking your calories for that reason. Stick with water, tea and coffee and get your calories from whole foods.
F2: Whoa, it's almost time for mom and baby aquafit and Little A is still asleep, I gotta go make noise outside her bedroom door!

I joined The Business Connection in… June 2017 as part of the resourcing team. We spend time with our candidates getting to know what they ideally would like so we can best match them to a job role with the end goal of placing them somewhere they will ultimately be happy at work. Previous to this I spent 6 years working in Italy and the last year in New Zealand. It's nice to be back and get stuck into something permanent.
What I love about my job… Every day is different, you don't know who you're going to meet, what job roles might come up. It's a rollercoaster! It definitely keeps you on your toes and there is always something new to learn.
When I'm not in the office… I really like spending time with friends and family, especially as I feel that I have missed out a lot while I have been away over the last few years. I love food, cooking and eating – whether it is going to try out new restaurants or experiment with new recipes! I also enjoy travelling, exploring new countries & cultures. Sports-wise snowboarding is a huge passion of mine!

- Ian Dalton "gives a signal" investigation will be made public
- Baroness Harding says criticism of the regulator will be published
- Investigation follows allegations at the Wirral University Teaching Hospital FT
NHS Improvement has said there is a "strong presumption in favour" of it publishing the independent investigation into the regulator's handling of concerns at the Wirral University Teaching Hospital Foundation Trust.
Last week, NHSI refused to say whether it would make public the investigation led by former primary cate trust chief executive Carole Taylor Brown.
In response to a question from HSJ at yesterday's board meeting about whether NHSI would commit to publishing the report, chief executive Ian Dalton said: "As soon as we became aware of the seriousness of the allegations made we immediately commissioned an independent investigation, which will review not only issues within the trust but also rightly will look at NHS Improvement's handling of the situation.
"Transparency is incredibly important to us and there is a strong expectation that unless there are any issues that come out in the investigation that lead to legal advice that we shouldn't publish, that we will be publishing. There is a strong presumption of publication and that is completely in line with our commitment to transparency and openness."
He added that he was "trying to give a signal here, very clearly, that there is a strong presumption in favour of publication".
NHSI chair Baroness Harding said it was important there was a "safe space" for people to speak to the independent investigation, which would mean not everything it finds would be published, but she added: "Should there be anything that is critical and that NHS Improvement needs to learn from we will absolutely be publishing that to ensure we are being completely transparent."
HSJ revealed last month that Wirral's former chief executive David Allison left suddenly after he had secured a position with software company Draper and Dash without the knowledge of his board and attempted to secure business for the company.
Trust executives had previously blown the whistle to NHS Improvement in November about the trust's governance and culture, including serious allegations against Mr Allison and the chair Michael Carr. Mr Carr now faces a potential vote of no confidence by consultants at the trust.
After Mr Allison's departure, NHSI had offered him a six month secondment but this was withdrawn after the allegations made to the regulator by executives were made public by HSJ.
Ms Taylor Brown is due to submit her report to NHSI next month.

text: 'Supernatural' (Season 12): What Now? December 9, 2016 The long-running series Supernatural aired its mid-season finale last night on The CW. The 12th season of this show started out with the return of long-dead mommy dearest Mary Winchester – what a welcome, albeit unexpected, return that was – and then the show took some unusual turns, focusing on Lucifer and the unfortunate "meat sacks" he inhabited; most notably, the President of the United States [at least in their universe]. Admittedly, Lucifer used to be a much scarier force to be reckoned with than he has been this time around. Am I the only who has felt that while watching the episodes of him cohabitate with aging rock star Vince Vincente, that poor priest or even POTUS? Has Lucifer lost his mojo or have we, as viewers, gotten so accustomed to him that he doesn't scare us anymore. Even his possession of that world's President was anticlimactic; at least to me it was. I wasn't even really frightened of the fact that he knocked up the President's girlfriend except in how that coupling affected the celestial world. We saw that effect on Castiel as he carried those coffee cups in the bunker. The angels are none too happy about a Nephilim being created. Will we see this baby born this season? Will that child wreak havoc in quite the way that God's sister Amara did? Or will he or she be even worse? Depending on the severity of this child, will its mere existence bring the wrath of the Men of Letters – the British League that is – to the "Colonies?" If so, will the States be visited by more than just Mr. Ketch, who has been on the trail of the Winchester brothers? Will we see a return of the reviled Lady Toni Bevell? Or will there be a reappearance by Mick Davies? Then there is that whole issue of Sam and Dean being arrested by the Secret Service for trying to kill the President of the United States. Sure, they were saving him from Lucifer, but do you really think that reason is going garner them freedom. Nope, they'll be branded crazy if they even mention that! How they will get out of whatever prison they are put in – given the clips for the next new episode – is anyone's guess. I don't think even Castiel will be able to pull either of the brothers out of that secured facility. I also have to wonder given their dire straits will Mama Winchester come back to the fold, helping Castiel to figure out a way to save her boys? I can't imagine that she would be able to stay away. But it's still the matter of how in the world they can be saved? It's not like when Castiel reached down into the depths of Hell to pull Dean out? Although if Cain was able to slip into a maximum security prison to retrieve one of his descendants [that episode aired last February, by the way], there just might be a chance that Castiel, as the newly formed Angel that he is, could find a way to retrieve Sam and Dean. How do you think the brothers Winchester will be rescued from this latest imprisonment? Do you think it will take supernatural powers or something a bit more of this world to get them out? Please share your thoughts below and mark your calendars, as 'Supernatural' will return with new episodes of its 12th season on The CW on Thursday, January 26 at its new time 8/7c.

The total turnout for the first day of early voting in Williamson County on Wednesday was higher than it was in the last two presidential election cycles.
Early totals from the Williamson County Election Commission showed 5,836 people voted on Wednesday of the 150,886 people registered.
The total cumulative number of votes so far is 6,742, which includes all Nursing Home/Assisted Living/By Mail Absentees. That represents about 3.9 percent of the total number of voters living in Williamson County.
At this point in 2008 — the last non-incumbent presidential election cycle — 4,990 people total had voted. The total who voted on the first day of early voting was 4,302. Turnout was 3.5 percent of the 121,263 registered voters in 2008.
Like 2016, two non-incumbents were pitted against each other in the presidential race in 2008. That makes the two elections comparable, according to Administrator of Elections Chad Gray.
In 2o12, 4,343 people total voted early on the first day out of 134,813 people, including mail-ins and all others. That is about 3.4 percent turnout.

Outstanding Location and View
The view from this unit is wonderful - ocean view and sunsets. There are surfers, dolphins, and otters active in the near view. The rooms are comfortable. Nice kitchen and dining area large enough for 8.
Couldn't ask for a better location!
We usually stay near the Mendocino area. This trip we wanted to stay near Santa Cruz Capitola area. So happy we found this Home! You couldn't ask for a better beach front location. The property is literally steps to the beach. So many great restaurants within a mile or two of the home as well. We will be back for sure!
Thanks so much! It's always a pleasure to hear such kind words. Looking forward to the next time you're in the Santa Cruz area.
Outstanding! Everything was perfect!!
The condo is perfect. Aside from the beautiful views, the condo is well appointed, clean and very comfortable. I highly recommend it and look forward to returning.
Thanks Robert-
Thanks very much for the kind words. It was a pleasure having you and your guests and hope to see you again soon!
Gorgeous view, all the essentials and next to a beach
Can't beat the view
Great place to hang out and soak up the sun and sound of the ocean. We didn't want to leave, but if you do, you can walk to great beaches, surf breaks and some good restaurants in Capitola.
Girlfriend's Reunion
This was one of our girlfriend reunion getaways. We had both units for 3 gorgeous nights right on the beach! Both units were fully stocked with everything you would need to feel right at home. The sunset and surf right out front was incredible. I knew that upstairs would be the hub for everyone, so us quite ones choose a room downstairs to escape and sit by the fireplace after our soak in the hot tub. I would recommend this rental and look forward to another stay in the future.

'L&HH': Joseline Hernandez Twerks On Stevie J During Wild Birthday Party — Watch
It's lit! The chemistry between Joseline Hernandez and Stevie J was off the charts during her 'Birthday Bash Day Party' on April 22. The Puerto Rican Princess was showing off her twerking skills while partying at one of Atlanta's hottest night clubs!
Joseline Hernandez, 30, and Stevie J, 45, were living it up to the fullest during her highly anticipated "Birthday Bash Day Party" held in the Gold Room on April 22. The Love & Hip Hop: Atlanta stars packed on the PDA the entire night, starting from when they graced the red carpet, continuing on until they hit the dance floor. Showing off her insane twerking skills, the Puerto Rican Princess partied the night away with her beau. The star-studded soiree also served as a release party for Joseline's new "Baby Daddy" single, so a few of the cast mates showed up!
Cameras were rolling during Joseline's bash, and it was the perfect time, since Melissa Scott, the Clermont Twins and Stevie's sons made appearances at the event. Turning up the heat for the special occasion, Joseline rocked a revealing leather ensemble and green eye contacts, and it seemed like Stevie J was really digging her look! The famed producer hosted the gig, hooking his leading lady up with a bejeweled cake, bottle service and VIP section. To no surprise, Joseline performed her new jam in front of her attendees, even changing into another ensemble.
'Love & Hip Hop: Atlanta' Season 6 — Pics
Joseline's birthday is actually in Nov., but because of her recent pregnancy, the reality star wasn't able to party, drink, and turn up like she wanted to. Now that she's given birth to their precious daughter Bonnie Bella, she celebrated her 30th in style. Her boyfriend helped arrange all the details of her bash and he definitely went the extra mile! The two recently confirmed their romance was on again by sharing a sweet portrait of their family celebrating Easter by the pool.
As we previously reported, "Joseline loves Bonnie B with all her heart and she's eager to have another baby," a source close to the Puerto Rican bombshell tells HollywoodLife.com EXCLUSIVELY. Despite their previous drama, she now sees Stevie J as "a good man, a great father and a great provider" and reveals that she can "see herself having another baby with him and possibly spending the rest of her life with him." It looks like they're finally in a good place!
HollywoodLifers, are you excited to see Joseline's party on the show? Tell us!

One item you will notice upon visiting texomanats.org is that our website has changed. We have recently debuted the newly updated website, texomanats.org, which offers leading-edge infrastructure designed to better reach teachers and students interested in learning more about the association and the programs we offer.
The update included a myriad of new features designed to make the Texoma NATS website a more secure, user-friendly, accessible portal, and fiscally responsible for our region. Now, visitors can browse the Texoma NATS website from any handheld device. In addition, the website has been optimized to include search engine-friendly links. Those SEO-optimized links mean that people searching for the Texoma NATS can more easily find the website and its pages.
The website has also been upgraded to include secure socket layer (SSL) technology, yielding a website including "https". This is the hallmark of safety in today's digital world, and Google's search engine algorithm penalizes websites without it.
Discover Web Solutions was contracted by our region's board to complete the update. The local web development and digital marketing company works with companies of all sizes, especially small and medium-sized companies, to position their digital presences in front of audiences by way of exceptional websites and more.
Regional Conference
Preparations are well under way for 68th Texoma NATS Regional Conference and Student Auditions November 7-10 at Baylor University.

Thursday and Friday will be filled with Student Auditions and the Texoma NATS Artist Series and Master Teacher Series. Saturday will hold Student Audition Semifinals and Finals, along with the finals of the Edward Baird Singer of the Year Competition.
Artist Series
Each year for our annual conference, a call is put out to Texoma members for proposals to present lectures, recitals, programs, and/or performances. Under Richard Berry's tenure as Governor, we began to call this part of the program the "Texoma Artist Series."
A committee, chosen by the Region Governor, blindly reviews submissions and chooses the presentations to provide a varied program from all reaches of the Texoma Region.

Natalie, 33, and Gillian, 29, have gained their STEP qualifications complying with a rigorous code of professional conduct and having passed four exams tailored exclusively to the jurisdiction in which they practice.
STEP is the leading worldwide professional body for practitioners in the fields of trusts, estates and related issues and aims to promote the highest professional standards. As a requirement members must at all times act with integrity and in a manner that inspires the confidence, respect and trust of both clients and the wider community.
STEP qualifications demonstrate a sound knowledge of trusts and estates that is converted into practical, applied competence. Full members of STEP are the most experienced and senior practitioners in the field of trusts and estates and are recognised as the experts to whom others turn for good quality advice.
Gillian, who joined Latimer Hinks in 2004 as a secretary/paralegal and subsequently qualified in 2009, said: "Were both over the moon to have achieved such a recognised qualification as it shows our specialism in the ability to provide quality service in the field of trusts and tax planning.
"STEP members do great work for people at difficult points in their life and were proud to be associated with this organisation."
Natalie, who has been with Latimer Hinks since 2000, said: "STEP qualifications are notoriously difficult to achieve due to the extremely high standards the exam board sets.
Juggling working full time and studying at evenings and at weekends has been immensely difficult but it has all been worthwhile. We can now use the designation TEP which adds a degree of recognition and assurance for our clients that we have a real understanding of the issues with which were dealing."
