This spring, Greg Leone at JK Capital found a stray terrier-mix puppy wandering around the company’s office building in Jonesboro, Arkansas. The dog had a collar, but no tags or other identification. When he brought the pup into the JK-North America offices, Nina Neuschuetz, Director of Marketing, decided that they would try to find the pup’s original owner or find her a good home themselves…

Dr. Mark Kimpel, an Indiana University research doctor and ophthalmologist, says he really doesn’t care for the photo you see here, as it doesn’t accurately show what night vision loss is really like. He describes night vision loss this way: “When you’re driving at night, you’ll still see the yellow stripe on the road. What you won’t see is the kid on the bike.”

Brenda’s Excellent African Adventure

On my most recent trip to Africa, I didn’t mind sharing a tent with slugs, scorpions and ticks. I didn’t mind that the only heat available during the cold nights was a small hot water bottle to hug. I had no issues with nature’s “outdoor bathroom” when on safari. But there were a few things in Kenya I DID mind. I minded that people were illegally killing
endangered rhinos to sell their horns. And I minded that kids don’t get much food or education. Those are the things I really minded – and want to help change. Come along on my journey (Island Sun Times has kindly removed the bugs and bathroom issues for you!)…Brenda Fishbaugh   Read on….

EYE PRO “Freshens Up” 10k Runners

Tuesday, September 15th, 2009

EYE PRO, Inc. — makers of WINK-EASE and VIEWkeepers and world leader in disposable eyewear, recently helped nearly 500 runners cool down with Fresh-Ease Refreshing Body Cloths for After Tanning during the fourth annual Alliance Rotary Castle 2-mile & 10K Fun Run in Alliance, Ohio over Labor Day weekend.

Over 455 runners participated in the 2-mile or 10K race, one of the premier races of the Subway Challenge Series. The race is held on the 20 1/2 acre grounds of Glamorgan Castle, a unique historic complex and now home to the Alliance City School District administrative offices. All money raised goes to Rotary charities to help local projects.

Tammy Mathia, owner of Sunbeam Tanning, was a registered runner of the Alliance Rotary Castle 10K race and a sponsor of the event.  “I use Fresh-Ease after using a tanning bed to cool down and remove tanning odor,” explained Mathia. “As a runner, I also love using the Fresh-Ease product  because it’s a very refreshing cloth to wipe my body off with when I’m finished with my runs,” she concluded.

Sunbeam Tanning Salon supported the race participants and all received free goodie bags which included EYE PRO’s Fresh-Ease Refreshing Body Cloths, as well as other donated products.  The gift bags were a big success and Mathia knew Fresh-Ease would be a perfect for all the runners.

“We are happy to support all the participants in the race,” said EYE PRO president, Brenda Fishbaugh. “We hope that Fresh-Ease Refreshing Body Cloths for After tanning helped cool runners after a race as well as after they tan!”

“Our zoo is one of the Top 10 Children’s Zoos in the USA,” said EYE PRO president, Brenda Fishbaugh. “Thanks to the support of our products, we’ve been able to donate to organizations and help rescue endangered and exotic animals worldwide for over a decade.”

EYE PRO notified their “V-EYE-P” salon members by email, asking them to vote for their favorite animal.  Any salon that voted received a FREE zippie with samples of WINK-EASE and VIEWkeepers disposable eyewear and Fresh-Ease refreshing body cloths for after tanning. EYE PRO contributed $3 for every vote cast.

The African Journey includes animals never before exhibited in Fort Wayne, including hyenas, honey badgers, servals, and mongoose, plus opportunities to be nose-to-nose with a 500-pound lion (through 2-inch safety glass) and hand-feed a giraffe. “There is nothing like having a giraffe’s tongue take a carrot out of your hand!” exclaimed Fishbaugh. “I’ve done it — and what a great experience this is for kids and adults alike!”

May 2009

Did you know that the earth’s ozone layer is what keeps us from burning up? There’s a hole in the ozone layer, and if it continues to grow, the sun’s ultraviolet radiation (UVR) that reaches Earth will become less and less filtered. If that happens, it will change the way plants function and reproduce. Plant-eating animals will run out of things to eat. And if plant-eating animals can’t find food, they’ll die –leaving us with less and less to eat.
