Joe and Katherine met when they were both the stars in a play put on by their young adult group in southern California. "That was a long time and six children ago," said Katherine with a laugh. They moved the Pleasant Grove four years ago, and really enjoy the city. "It is just the right size. I think this is our favorite place we have lived," said Katherine. "There are just nice people here, and I feel ' it is a good environment." They are very pleased with t the autistic kindergarten program at Vineyard Elementary. Their six year old autistic daughter is "absolutely thriving there," according to Katherine. "We love the people here," added Joe. "They seem so grounded."

They opened their new fitness and martial arts ' business "Martial Arts USA" last October. Their studio is the old historic i Pleasant Grove bank at 2 south Main in downtown Pleasant Grove. This gorgeous gor-geous old building was built in 1917. "I have all the old photos," pho-tos," said Joe. "It is on the historic register to preserve the authenticity of the building." Joe bought the building in August of 1998 just after it was restored due to a fire. It is a unique building and still has a large fully functional bank vault in the basement. After selling his mortgage mort-gage business in October 1997, Joe was looking for a business to put his energy into. "I resisted doing martial arts and fitness as a business." busi-ness."

It has been . an interest of his since he was 7 years old. Through the years it had become a real passion. He has studied many of the popular as well as the less-known techniques tech-niques of self defense. While involved with martial arts, he began study and research concerning fitness and health. "I have learned about 20 breathing programs, all valuable," valu-able," said Joe, "the program we teach has its roots in yoga but does not require the strenuous stren-uous or scnjnching positions." Fitness has been a way of life for this couple. "Our children have grown up seeing see-ing us work at staying fit and healthy," said Joe. "Now they are old enough to participate par-ticipate with us." Their oldest old-est daughter does the breathing program with her mom. She wanted to trim down before school started last fall. After trying many other methods, Metabo-cise took off 10 pounds and on a petite 15 year old, that makes quite a difference. Their almost-11-year-old son is starting to learn martial mar-tial arts from his dad. "It creates a good bonding bond-ing time together." said Joe. Joe teaches martial arts classes several times a week. He has consolidated and incorporated what he has learned into his teaching. teach-ing. He uses a cutting edge teaching method called 'sys-tema' 'sys-tema' developed by the Russian army that develops ability very quickly. "People learn so fast they are amazed," said Joe, "I finally found a more efficient effi-cient way for people to learn." The breathing and weight loss portion of the business is really doing well, too. They offer classes in their studio, as well as through UVSC and Alpine School District Continuing Education. Classes are populated pop-ulated mostly with women, but men take them as well, and ages range from teen to the aged. "This is a great option for people that want to get thin in a healthy and livable way," explains Katherine. "It only takes 15 minutes a day." They teach people with disabilities and older people who are less mobile. "This is a way to stay healthy available avail-able to people with no other options," adds Joe, "There is so much advice available about fitness it is hard for people in general to decipher deci-pher what is true." They have a video for sale, "for our students to take the program home, then it becomes a way of life for them," said Katherine. Joe adds, "We feel like we are on a crusade for health." They plan to produce more videos and possibly a book on the topic of fitness. For more information visit their web site at www.metabo-cise.com or call the studio 785-9449.

Lehi dentist specializes in occlusion, cosmetic dentistry By Sheila Allen Timpanogos Dental Group located at 325 E. 100 North, Lehi, is the only practice in Utah that is fully equipped to diagnose and treat occlusion, a dental condition involving a patient's jaw alignment. Dr. Leslie Graff Brooks, D.D.S. has been practicing in Lehi for about eight years and specializes in cosmetic and occlusion dentistry. Occlusion is how a person's teeth fit together, which affects the alignment of the whole body. Eighty percent of the population suffer from some of the symptoms related to incorrectly aligned teeth. The symptoms include headaches, tingling or numbing numb-ing in the shoulders and hands, lower back pain, neck pain, and not sleeping well. Migraines can also be a result of this condition. condi-tion. Using a Biopak computer program, Dr. Brooks can diagnose diag-nose patients and fit them with an appliance to wear for 3-4 days. At the end of this time if the patient is not feeling feel-ing better no bill is paid. Dr. Leslie Graff Brooks Although, if the patient likes the results and wishes to make it permanent, onlays and veneers are bonded to the teeth which correct the alignment of the jaw and the whole body. Dr. Brooks attended the Las Vegas Institute for Advanced Dental Studies where he learned this technique. tech-nique. He has been teaching there for two years with his assistant, Krissy Poison. He also lectures internationally about his specialty. PI.
