Feeling sluggish around 3 o’clock every day? Getting through the afternoon slump at work is a challenge for many. But Beth Czerwony, RD, a registered dietitian for Cleveland Clinic, said there are many ways to naturally boost your energy, including not skipping breakfast. Sticking to balanced meals with lean proteins and complex carbs can give you energy over a longer period of time since it takes your body more time to digest them. For example, packing a grilled chicken sandwich on wheat bread for lunch is better than packing a peanut butter and jelly sandwich on white bread.

Christmas came early for several youngsters enrolled in an early intervention program.

The Children’s Hometown Holiday wrapped up the weekend full of activities with their annual Breakfast with Santa.  The Wapakoneta Knights of Columbus has been hosting the free breakfast for around five years and they serve between 600 and 700 people.  Kids were able to sit and talk to Santa, get their pictures taken with one of the characters that were walking around.  Plus, they could also take part in a coloring contest or get their face painted themselves.    Members of the Knights of Columbus are glad they could help event organizer Elaine Poppe make some holiday memories for some local kids.
