Health Tip of the Week Registered Pharmacist Bob Stresing and the Serv-U Team 255317081 Dodging Diabetes According to the experts, losing (or not gaining) excess weight is one of the best ways to prevent type 2 diabetes. The obesity epidemic has led to a worldwide rise in diabetes over the last 20 years. Try to do at least 30 minutes a day of brisk walking or other aerobic exercise. Avoid prolonged sitting. Reduce your intake of starchy carbs and sugar-sweetened drinks. Eat more poultry, fish, and plant-based proteins such as beans and nuts, and less red and processed meat. Drink coffee if you enjoy it; just don't add cream and sugar in excess. Don't smoke; it increases your risk. FIX IT YOURSELF 100,000 PARTS STORE POWER EQUIPMENT CO. 2373 S.

Oklahoma Avenue, Milwaukee (414) 383-3902 255317090 By Dan Muckelbauer TimeOut Editor HALES CORNERS — When Young Simba strug- gles to find his path in life in the Hales Corners Youth Musical Theatre's produc- tion of "The Lion King Jr.," it'll be the first time Ben Leach of Pewaukee takes any kind of stage. The second-grader at Divine Redeemer Lutheran School in Hartland came to the director Barb McDonald's attention when she visited her hair stylist and Leach's grandmother, Debby Fink, who lives in Oconomowoc. Most of the cast hails from the Hales Corners- Greenfield-Franklin area, as McDonald teaches in the Whitnall School District. It's there she took the fond- ness she noted in the kids for Broadway shows and created her own limited lia- bility company. "It's the highlight of the week, they tell me," McDonald said of the rehearsals for the children, who range in age from 5 to 12. For "The Lion King Jr.," she put out fliers, appeared on radio and "walked the pavement" to find and pro- mote the popular play. The director will take talent where she finds it, especial- ly male, as only six of the cast members are boys. "Some of the girls are playing the boy parts because they have to able to act and dance and sing," McDonald said. It's not why she cast Leach in a key role. "He's well-qualified," McDonald said. "He's really young and he memorized everything." The 60-minute play, which differs some from the 1994 Disney film, has depth while being age-appropriate for the cast members, their director said. It retains the song "Can You Feel the Love Tonight" from the film. "It's about the continuum of life and being brave, and it has all these messages. The musical is surprisingly beautiful," McDonald. "If I had a choice, I would just do 'Lion King' forever." It's been a hands-on effort to rebuild some existing pieces, with parents taking part in creating nine sets. They lie in waiting at Faith Bible Church, 4175 S. 112th St., Greenfield, where the play will run at 7:30 p.m. today, Friday and Saturday as well as 12:30 p.m. Saturday. Tickets are on sale for $11 and $13, and free for 2 and younger at hcymt.brown- papertickets.com. Seating is first come, first served. MILWAUKEE — The Milwaukee County Zoo will be the first zoo on the conti- nent to host an exhibit allowing guests to view ani- mals from beneath the sur- face with "Body Worlds: Animal Inside Out" from Saturday through Sept. 4. In the new exhibition, by the creator of "Body Worlds," Dr. Gunther von Hagens, attendees will be able to view the physiology of more than 100 specimens. Each creature is preserved through the process of Plastination, invented by von Hagens, which involves 1,500 working hours and approximately one year to complete. Guests can view skeletal foundations, muscle and soft tissues and nervous systems while learning how animals breathe, eat and reproduce. The event will be open daily from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. in the Otto Borchert Family Special Exhibits Building. Tickets will cost $10 for adults and $8 for children ages 3 to 12, after regular zoo admission. Timed tickets for the exhibit may be pur- chased on the zoo's website, milwaukeezoo. org.
